California's Top Two Arfo ns Attempts Speed Record LLOYD GRAFF the' Real Story Of Mario Savio and FSM From impeachable sources now hidding in a Northern California wine cellar trying to glue their draft cards back together, we get this fascinating story on the essential reasons for the Berkeley insurrec- tion' of la'st spring. Basically it's the story of a frustrated football player named Mario Savio: Savio came to Berkeley heralded as the greatest halfback ever to tote a pigskin. He had the speed, agility, and power to be another Jim Thorpe. But alas, Savio had a flaw that the recruiters had not even con- sidered when they enviously watched his shiftiness on the gridiron. He had long hair. As a freshman, the coaches watched him closely, as he overcame the varsity 'in every scrimmage. They welled with anticipation when they saw him dance with ease around every tackler. Savio was a sure All-American if there ever was one. But his hair. Every other football player got a good common crew cut, but not Savio. No, he had to grow his wavy, wiry strands almost down to his shoulders. Who does he think he is, Ben Gurion, the worried coaches whispered to each other. Savio's hair kept growing; the coaches' tension reached ulcerous proportions. "Is this Savio kid some kind of beatnik or agitator or something," they wondered. What s the Problem, Boy? Finally one of them approached the brash young phenom to find out what was wrong with him. "What's the matter kid, your girl givin' you trouble or some- thing?" Mario of the flowing tresses was incensed. He regarded his hair like Dietrich regards her legs, or Joan Sutherland her larynx. "So you don't like my hair, is that it? Then go find some well barbered kook and run him at halfback, coach baby. I'm now on strike'." And with that the arrogant young, Savio stalked away and thought of nothing but revenge. And then suddenly it hit him, like a 280 pound tackle, it hit him. "I'll start an anti-team, a team that will rise up and take over the football field and make California once again a national power. With the studentsbehind me I can build a great new team, a team built on blood, spirit, and guts, not training tables, movies, and whirl- pool baths.". f ,And so Mario of the growing mane had the embryonic notion of the now famous FSM, Flowing Strands Movement. His success was not immediate. One doesn't overcome a football team, as entrenched as the Golden Bears in a day, but he kept plug- ging. And without Savio the team kept losing. Now the Climax. Finally the climactic moment came. Ma-rio Savio led a band of 800 fully padded and helmeted demonstrators into the football stad- ium 'in history's first quarterback sneak-in. All night the brave group sang fight songs going up and down the roster from "Buckle Down Winsocki, Buckle Down," to "On Wisconsin." Joan Baez playing the tuba, led the group in fearless song. In desperation the football coach called in the police, really the San Francisco 49ers in disguise. Leader Savio rolled up his pant legs 4 and addressed his throng. "We believe in nonviolence. We believe in the single wing offense. We believe in never running up the center. We believe in the sensational play. And in the end we will win. Halleluyah. Rah. Rah. And Amen, teammates." And then the 49ers carried away the demonstrators. But the football coach was on the defensive. He considered re- signing, but the powerful alumni said he had to stay and restore order. One of the assistant coaches was fired as a scapegoat. And then the final straw. Some of the crew cutted football players let their sideburns grow, refused to shave, listened to Bob Dylan and joined the FSM. Savio of the long long locks had won. The football coach tried to patch up the mess. He' even hired a popular assistant from a Big Ten University to polish his image. But California football had inalterably changed. The long hairs had done their part.

"We'll crack the sound barrier," he said, "but we need to work things out to make sure everything is all right. "This is all new, you know, this rocket thing. You can't give this car wind tunnel tests like an air- plane. "These runs are our wind tun- nel tests. "We'll break the barrier (725 miles per hour at the Salt Flats' altitude) all right, but not until the week of the 17th of October unless something extraordinary happens. His bullet-shaped car has 15 sol- id-fuel rockets, each with 1000 pounds of thrust. These are rock- ets used for take-off assist in some military and civilian air- planes. If Arfons does not break the sound barrier he hopes to at least break the world land speed rec- ord of 536.17 °m.p.h. set on these Western Utah Flats last year by his brother Art. Art also plans to be on the Flats next week with his jet-en- gine powered car. * *. * Nicklaus Trails SEATTLE, Wash. O(f) - Jack Nicklaus, golf's top money win- ner of the year, trailed the three pacesetters of the Seattle Open after the first round with 3 un- der score of 69. Leading the field were three rel- atively unknown members of the pro tour, Bob McCallister, Charles Coody, and Gary Bauer, who fired first round 68's. Nicklaus, who won this tourna- ment in '62, took the Portland Open last week to move into the top money spot. FOLK DANCES Danced & Taught -Begining & Intermediate Dances FRIDAYS 8-11 P.M.

Main St.-Downtown 662-5001 WHEN MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIA meet in Ann Arbor Sat- urday, former University Vice-President in charge of academic affairs Roger Heyns (right) will be against the Wolverines for the first time in 15 years. Heyns replaced former Chancellor Ed- ward Strong this past summer after the Berkeley demonstrations. Head Football Coach Ray Willsey (left) is also a relative new- comer to the California campus. In his second year as head coach of the Golden Bears, Willsey suffered through a 3-7 record last fall, and come into Ann Arbor with an 0-1 mark, losing their first game 48-6 to Notre Dame. Michigan holds the lead in the two game series between the Wolverines and California, with a 41-0 victory in 1940, and the 14-6 win in the 1951 Rose Bowl. Willsey played his college ball for the Golden Bears, earning two letters as a quarterback, graduating in 1953. 11 PRICE CONSCIOUS?
