Plastic Outdoor Rudolph

Action Day on 9 December

The funeral march was a great success in Toulouse everything went as planned.

More 2000 students marched in silence to the War Memorial where they were collected, after a speech in honor of the IUT followed by a release of 200 balloons. Flowers and diplomas have been deposited on the coffins representing the different departments.
The march was led by musicians at the head of the procession, playing the Funeral March, followed by a line of coffins, then by all students dressed in black.

A successful progress through the goodwill of each and remarkable service framework composed of students of order. This action has also been found to be particularly "friendly" by the police in Toulouse and very "original" by RG Paris.


The media were very present from the beginning to the end of the event, TV, radio and press have accompanied our walk.

The event was relayed including:

- France 3 Midi Pyrenees (Issue 19/20 of 9 December: http://jt.france3.fr/regions/popup.php?id = b31a_1920 ), Toulouse M6, TF1 and France 2 (which unfortunately lumped together events for students and ... IUT)

- Various radios as France Inter France Info ...

- The press:
- The Dispatch : http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2008/12/10/505782-Les-etudiants-toulousains-mettent-en-scene-la-mort des IUT.html
- Liberation : http://www.libetoulouse.fr/2007/2008/12/le-noir-est -mis.html


Finally a national echo!
