Football fans encounter Cal tree-sitters

<snip>
(09-01) 18:35 PDT Berkeley -- For fans from Tennessee, tree-sitters protesting a planned demolition of an oak grove outside UC Berkeley's Memorial Stadium posed a fascinating sideshow to Saturday's Cal-Tennessee football game.

With their orange T-shirts popping out from a sea of blue and gold, fans of the Tennessee Volunteers gazed curiously past a newly built chain-link fence - put up by the university earlier in the week to prevent potential altercations between game-goers and oak lovers - and snapped photographs of each other in front of the banner-draped tree houses.

In the dark after the game, won by Cal 45-31, many of the 70,000 spectators pouring out of the stadium stopped to watch a circle of drumming, dancing and yelping tree lovers in a grove outside the fenced area. The Cal fans were derisive. "The Sixties are over," some yelled. "Cut down the trees."
