2. And afterwards, they'll go shopping at Walmart.

No problem with crowds of shoppers getting in THEIR way. ;-)

Wonder why they're not meeting there?

5. Can someone expand on this?

According to this earlier thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2391889&mesg_id=2391889

The UC Regents were supposed to meet earlier this month at the system’s out-of-the-way Mission Bay campus, but that meeting was cancelled in the face of planned student demonstrations. Today’s rescheduled meeting will take place by teleconference, with regents scattered across the state. UC Davis is one of the meeting’s four physical locations, but as of the weekend only the board’s two student members (one of them non-voting) planned to be present at what has become the new center of resistance to the university’s capricious regulations and reprehensible institutional violence.

So, doesn't sound as though the Regents are meeting at UCLA, or any specific campus.

or those lame helmets? I'm getting really tired of these douche nozzles.
