Students Block Access To Halliburton Recruiters

Halliburton Officials Attend UW-Madison Career Fair

Channel 3000

MADISON, Wis. -- Students have packed a University of Wisconsin-Madison career fair Thursday afternoon, but they're not looking for a job. They're protesting Halliburton's presence at the event.

The students sat in front of the company's booth, singing anti-war songs and virtually blocking access to the company's four recruiters.

2. Turning away from that opportunity to live in exotic Dubai?
Oh well, there's always burger-flipping at McDonald's.
