The Farce Side busts through campus.

The Farce Side comedy troupe, which hosts weekly comedy shows in the Memorial Union on Friday afternoons, took ASU's campus by surprise by launching a protest and publicity event that mocked ASU President Michael Crow's administrative policies on Wednesday afternoon.

Chants filled the University as the team rapidly swooped across campus.

"Who do we love? Michael Crow!" the group chanted. "Why do we love him? We don't know!"

The rally showed a great deal of sarcasm toward the decisions Crow has made on behalf of ASU and the students, who will be impacted by the decisions.

The group's chanting and yelling addressed issues including mandatory meal plans, higher tuition costs, the loss of parking spaces for new construction and other things.

Watch the following video to see parts of the event. (ONLINE EDITOR'S NOTE: We were experiencing technical difficulties with the video clips but they should work fine now.)

"Keep us sober!"

"My books are too cheap!"

"Pay more, get less!"

Story and video compiled by Christine Rose and Nicole Saidi.
