Quebec students promising to be very active during election campaign

MONTREAL - Quebec students are promising to be very active during any provincial election campaign this summer.
Members of the CLASSE, the most radical student group, will meet this weekend to hammer out their exact election strategy, but their leaders insist they will not support one particular party.
One thing is clear, however _ their main target will be Premier Jean Charest's governing Liberals.
Students and the government have been at loggerheads for months over Charesrt's desire to hike university tuition fees.
Last spring was marked by repeated protests, many of which turned violent.
Speculation is mounting that Charest will call an election at the beginning of August so that Quebecers go to the polls on Sept. 4.
