R A Berkeley's Protests Rage for Six Months By MICHAEL BADAMO The University of California Berkeley campus over the past six months has been the scene of a series of protests, demonstrations, riots and general student unrest. The latest chapter in the Berke- ley story was the threatened res- ignation of University of Calif or- nia President Clark Kerr and act- Ing Chancellor Martin Meyerson because of a dispute with the Board of Regents concerning stu- dent discipline in the recent foul speech movement. Problems in Berkeley began last September with the announced enforcement of long-standing and long-ignored regulations barring the use of university property for off-campus causes or organiza- A tions. This policy of enforcement was immediately opposed by vari- Dus student organizations includ- tng Students for Goldwater, Young Republicans, Student Non- violent Coordinating Committee and Students -for Johnson, who were determined to stand together. Free Speech Movement The groups banded together to present a united front of student organizations protesting the curbs on political freedoms calling themselves the Free Speech Move- ment. Michael Rossman, a member of the FSM Steering Committee, said "the Free Speech Movement is the legitimate spokesman for the stu- dents since it is most intimately acquainted with the needs of the students. It is only within the ranks of the Free Speech Move- ment that nearly all of the poli- tical, religious and social action groups on the campus are repre- sented." Disciplinary Action In defiance of the rules, student organizations set up tables at the Bancroft-Telegraph entrance to the campus as they had done in past years. Political candidates were advocated and funds were collected. On September 30 eight of the protesting students were summoned before the dean of stu- dents for disciplinary action. All eight, including a 21 year old junior transfer student from New York named Mario Savio, were suspended indefinitely from the university. The next day tables were set up, this time in front of the ad- ministration building, Sproul Hall, and students voiced demands that the suspensions be lifted. A for- mer graduate student in mathe- matics, Jack Weinberg, was de- tained by university police for trespassing and illegally soliciting money. Weinberg was taken to a waiting police car on the lawn of Suroul Hall which was immedi- ately surrounded by about 200 students and the number steadily increased. Mario Savio, now acknowledged leader of the protest movement, removed his shoes, mounted the hemmed in police car and de- manded that the administration accede. Refuses Demands Savio and student leader, Charles Powell, arranged a meet- ing with Chancellor Strong to discussthe issues. Strong refused to accept any of the student de- mands and reiterated the univer- sity's policies on campus politi- cal activity. Savio then urged students to force their way into Sproul Hall and inhibit administrative opera- tion. Demonstrations c o n t I n u e d throughout the night of October 1 and all the next day. Presi- dent Kerr and Chancellor Strong in a series of top-level meetings submitted a compromise proposal to the students. The agreement stated that the arrested man, Weinberg, would be booked but that the university would not press charges. It provided for a com- mittee representing both students and administrators to deal withj the issues. Continue Demonstrations The remainder of the month of October passed with only minor demonstrations and many meet- ings between students and ad- ministrators. November saw the reinstatement of the eight stu- dents suspended in September. Mario Savio and one other, how- ever, were placed on probation. Savio later dropped out of school to work full-time for the cause. The latter part of November was spent in more frequent dem- onstrations and student rallies since negotiations had not pro- duced results. A delegation of five FSM rep- resentatives requested a hearing before the Regents. Although the FSM delegation was admitted to the Regents' meeting room, they were not allowed to speak. FSM Ultimatum Further disciplinary action was initiated against Savio and three others for their participation in the October demonstrations. The FSM issued an ultimatum Decem- ber 1 demanding that disciplinary action against Savio and the oth- ers be dropped, that present rules concerning political speech be re- vised and that the administration refrain from further disciplinary action against students or organi- zations for political activity. The administration ignored the FSM's demands. December 2 approximately 1000 students, faculty and non-univer- sity persons packed four floors o4 Sproul Hall following a huge ral- ly in the plaza between Sproul Hall and the Student Union. They remained in the building all night. 'Sleep-In' Early in the morning Chancel- lor Strong ordered the demonstra- tors out of the building and warn- ed of dire consequences if he was not obeyed. The students re- mained. Outside the building approxi- mately 635 uniformed police had been assembling for nearly an hour. They had come from the Alameda County Sheriffs Depart- ment, Oakland Police Department, Berkeley Police Department, Uni- versity Police Department and the California Highway Patrol. They were sent there by Califor- nia Gov. Edmund G. Brown. Police Arrests For the next 12 hours police worked zealously to clear the building of protestors. All were ar- rested and taken to public deten- tion centers. December continued with more demonstrations and more admin- istrative opposition, but the op- position was becoming weaker. The students clung to their de- mands and the administration conceded point after point. Jan- uary 2 of this year Chancellor Strong was granted a leave of absence "to recuperate from his recent illness." Martin Meyerson, dean of the College of Environ- mental Design, was designated as "acting chancellor." On January 3, Meyerson issued a statement effecting a compro- mise between the students and the administration. The statement said the steps of Sproul Hall would be available temporarily as an open discussion area to be used by individuals and student organizations. Tables could be set up for political groups at vari- ous campus entrances. Most recent events at Berkeleyj came as a result of the organiza- tion calling themselves the Foul Speech Movement. It was the con- tention of this very small minor- ity of Berkeley students that free- dom of speech included the right to foul speech and they decided to test their rights. The adminis- tration and other student organi- zations cracked down on the group and nine were arrested. Shortly thereafter President Kerr and Acting Chancellor Mey- erson submitted their resigna- tions to the Board of Regents. No reasons were given for the threatened resignations. But spec- ulations were that pressure from the Board of Regents for the dis- missal of the arrested students was an important factor, since Kerr and Meyerson did not wish to deal so severely with them. The resignations were with- drawn when an understanding was apparently reached between Kerr and Meyerson and the Re- gents. New demonstrations were spark- ed by a magazine entitled "Spi- der." This publication, which Act- ing Chancellor Meyerson termed "inappropriate for a university community," allegedly contained a number of previously banned four- letter words and a play with a suggestive title. Ban 'Spider' Some 200 demonstrators stood in front of the administration building Thursday, March 19, as Dean of Men Arleigh Williams tried to enforce a ban on the sale of the publication. Williams said he would ask the political action committee for F campus injunction against the sale pending a hearing, and that is where things stand at present. Events in Berkeley have not reached an end. No one has defi- nitely won or lost. Former Governor of California Pat Brown unwittingly character- ized the whole Berkeley move- ment in a commencement address at Santa Clara University, say- ing, "Some students are going to be wrong and some people will want to deny them the right to make mistakes . . . But let us stand up for our students and be proud of them. If America is still on the way up, it will wel- come this new, impatient, criti- cal group of young gadflies. It will be fearful only of the com- placent and passive."

One was on Bach Long Island deep in the Tonkin Gulf formed by the shores of North Viet Nam and Red China. And in Washington, official sources reported that the U.S. is com- mitted to the defense of South Viet Nam regardless of whether Russia or Red China sends in "volunteers." Concerning yesterday's bombings, a U.S. Navy spokesman said bombs ranging from 250 to 1000 pounds were loosed on stations at Bach By THOMAS R. COPI The quick state Senate action hoped for by the House on the bill to provide property tax ex- emptions for senior citizens does not seem to be forthcoming. The Senate Taxation Commit- tee, which is presently consider- ing the measure, is holding the first of three scheduled public hearings on the issue today in St. Clair Shores. If all the public hearings scheduled by the com- mittee are held, the bill cannot, possibly clear the Senate before April 7. This would give Gov. George Romney time to consider his awaited study committee re- port on the subject before sign- ing or vetoing the bill. The House passed the bill by a 62-36 vote last week, in an ap- parent attempt to pass such a tax relief bill before Romney has a chance to introduce a similar plan, House Minority Leader Rob- ert Waldron (R-Grosse Pointe), said. Romney is waiting for his study committee to report before drawing up his bill. House Speaker Joseph Kowal- ski (D-Detroit) said he hoped for rapid Senate action, but Sen. George Fitzgerald (D - Grosse Pointe), chairman of the Senate Taxation Committee, apparently has no inclination to rush the bill through the Senate as was done in the House. Fitzgerald said that the Senate would probably put an income limit or means test on the senior citizens property tax exemption bill. The House bill set no in- come maximum, merely stating that to be eligible, the senior citizens must have lived in Mich- igan for seven years. "You've got to draw a line be- tween the person who needs re- lief and the one who doesn't. Otherwise it's ridiculous," Fitz- gerald said. The taxation committee has also discovered that the House bill would provide no benefit for some 35,000 of the state's neediest sen- ior citizens, while costing the state an additional $1 million in lost, federal aid funds, Fitzgerald re- ported. The 35,000 are covered by the bill, but their benefits would be subtracted from an Old Age As. sistance funds they now receive, according to social welfare direc- tor Bernard Houston. Thus, the state would be sub- stituting help which it finances 100 per cent for present benefits paid 50 per cent by the state and 50 per cent by the federal govern- ment. The state benefits would be con- sidered income and therefore be subtracted from the OAA pay- ments, thus providing no addi- tional benefits to those who al- ready receive OAA money, Fitz- Put your degree to work gerald said. The Senate committee is also investigating the constitutionality of the bill, which would grant' both property owners and renters an exemption. The constitltion states that "no law shall embrace more than one object." Fitzgerald said that preliminary research showed a possible conflict and that he would probably seek an attorney general's opinion.

Bucher's Free Democratic Par- ty, smaller member of the coali- tion, said "a serious situation has arisen." Without this party's sup- port, Chancellor Ludwig Erhard could not command a parliamen- tary majority. The justice minister submitted his resignation Thursday night after the Bundestag overrode his objections and voted to continue the search for Nazi murderers un- til Jan. 1, 1970. Bucher and oth- ers professed grave doubt as to the constitutionality of the law. Erhard, seeing coalition leaders in a series of meetings yesterday, told the Free Democrats to name another one of their members as a successor to Bucher, whose res- ignation still has not been for- mally accepted.

One was plucked from the sea by an amphibian, the other by helicop- ter. A spokesman said that so far, the U.S. government does not have hard evidence of men and mater- ials flowing to Hanoi from her giant Communist colleagues in re- sponse to U.S. air strikes on Red North Viet Nam. Possibility In reporting this, the U.S. sourc- es said they are not ruling out the possibility that some such aid may have arrived in North Viet Nam already, perhaps hidden in boat holds. Nor did they discount she possibility that such assist- ance might be forthcoming. However, the officials said, the U.S. is not basing its actions in Viet Nam on a prediction of what the Soviets and Red Chinese are going to do.
