Berkeley students are fighting
hard to retain Ernest Becker, a
popular visiting lecturer whose
contract has not been renewed as
a member of their teaching staff.
After the anthropology depart-
ment last week failed to ask Beck-
er to return next year at the end
of his one-year tenure, the Asso-
ciated Students of the University
of California (ASUC) decided to
finance him themselves. The ASUC
Senate last Wednesday voted ap-
proval of a $13,000 one-year ro-

tating, student-financed chair for
scholars, and last night they nom-
inated Becker to fill the position.
However, the anthropology de-
partment decided Monday they
would not give Becker a position,
even if financed by the ASUC. The
department claimed that they
could not create a position for an-
other tenured faculty member.
An ASUC spokesman said last
night, "we will, keep pressuring
the university until we can find a
department that will take Becker."
