of the nine campuses more inde-

The new regulations, passed by
the California regents at theirI
July meeting, affect nearly everyI
issue that sparked the Free Speech
Movement demonstrationg in the
fall.
They liberalize old regulations

on the Berkeley campus alone.
The report devoted a consider-
able portion of its 85-page length
to the idea of decentralizing the
administration of the university's
ten campuses-an idea implement-
ed by the Regents there this sum-
mer. The report recommended
that each campus be the equiva-
lent of the commonwealth, with
much local autonomy.
When the Byrne report came
out, it met with great criticism, es-

government, political activity and
off-campus speakers. They also
give the chancellors increased gov-
ernmental authority.
Prohibition'
The new regulation on student
freedom of activity-the issue that
was the main cause of the fall pro-
tests-prohibits the student from
"conduct which significantly in-
tereferes with university teaching,
research, administration, and the
university's subsidiary responsibil-
ities," or which endangers the
safety of the university commun-
ity or of campus visitors for uni-
versity-related events.
A university spokesman said the
language was. intentionally vague
so that the chancellors could in-
terpret the rules in keeping with
the needs of each campus. Previ-
ous rules were far more explicitly
restrictive 'on student political
freedom, for example in one case
prohibiting all political activity
which had ramifications off-cam-
pus.
Protestors complained that such
restrictions forced students to be-
come "second-class citizens" in or-
der to get a diploma.
The new regulations stemmed
from the recommendations of the
Byrne report, which was done at
the request of the Regents. It was
the result of an extensive investi-
gation of the Berkeley situation
and of the events leading to it and
the institution's h'andling of the
protests.
Highest
Highest on the list of the re-
port's recommendations were those
eeking to provide a system' cap-
able of dealing with administra-
tive and governmental problems of
the gigantic, geographically scat-
tered university, which now num-
bers over 70,000 students, more
than 27,000 of whom are located
report's release, that most mem-
bers would not "take the report
very seriously."
However, the Regents finally ap-
proved many of its ideas-em-
bodied in the new regulations-
after a short power fight in which
moderate members outvoted a
conservative bloc.
Topic
A principal topic of the Byrne
report and a concern of the reg-
ents over the last year-the Free
Speech Movement-dissolved early
this summer, but was immediately
replaced by an organization called
the Free Students Union.
The new Free Students Union
has taken as its aim, a more
permanent and stable Berkeley
student movement-a movement
which can eventually act as a col-
lective bargaining unit for the stu-
dents.
