The Heartbeat Festival<\/a> is the closing of the university\u2019s lustrum year. For this, the area around the plaza will be converted into a festival site. Park North is on the other side of the campus behind the Theil building. What the university will do if the protesters have not moved after Sunday is not yet clear.<\/p>\n\n\t
