LOS ANGELES (Reuter) -
Black activist Angela Davis, a
member of the Communist
Party's Central Committee, is
planning to return to philosophy
teaching early next year, the
career that first launched her
into nationwide controversy.
Acquitted by an all-white jury
in 1972 of plotting a bloody
courtroom shootout in a court-
house near San Francisco two
years before, she has devoted
her time since to public speak-
ing on behalf of other prisoners,'
the Communist Party and an
anti-racist organization.
THE SPEAKING tours have
meant constant travelling both
here and abroad for the tall,
slim woman who now lives in a
working class, largely black
suburb in Oakland on the east
side of San Francisco Bay.
At many of her United States
rallies she had to speak behind
a bullet proof glass enclosure
because of scores of threats
dailyuagainst her life.
"But I would like to get back
to teaching," she said in an
interview.
"After all, that was what I
was trained to do."
A PUPIL of the philosopher of
the new left, Dr. Herbert Mar-
cuse, a European who teaches
in San Diego, Davis graduated
with honors from Brandeis Uni-
versity in Massachusetts, and
later studied the philosophy of
Immanuel Kant in Frankfurt,
Germany.
In 1968 she accepted a position
in the philosophy of UCLA.

The storm broke around her
a year later when the Univer-
sity's Board of Regents, prodded
by California's conservative
Governor Ronald Reagan, fired
her from the post for her Com-
munist Party membership.
DAVIS, NOW 30, knows that
more controversy may lie
ahead of her tas she looks.
around for a teaching post. Af-
ter she had what she calls en-
tirely informal talks with San
Francisco State University
about teaching there, newspaper
stories appeared that she had
formally applied for a job and
had been turned down.
"The whole story was a com-
plete surprise to me. I just had
informal discussions with the
university. I didn't make any
application. I have no idea how
it leaked out."
"What I am really interested
in doing now is something on
the theory of the oppression of
women," shetsays. "There's
been a lot of talk about it, but
not much theoretical research.
"IN JAIL I wrote a long piece
on the utilization of Marxism to
develop a theory on the oppres-
sion of women. I haven't had
time to go over it.
"It was presented before a
group of philosophers while I
was in jail. Now I would like
to go over it and refine it and
publish it in order to hold a
seminar and teach on it."
Davis says she never sought
to become a public figure and
she finds her life as a political

activist "at times very frus-
trating and emotionally drain-
ing."
SHE SAYS she felt .obliged to
fight for other prisoners after
her own release because people
around the world had done so
much for her when she was in
prison.
"I do not believe I would be
free today if it had not been
for the world-wide free Angela
Davis movement," she says.
"Despite my own disinclina-
tion to speak before masses of
people and press conferences
and all that, I feel I have a
responsibility for those who
struggle for me, to use the
position I have now to get the
message across, to help other
human beings."
SHE SAYS she feels that the
strong controversy that sur-
rounded her as a Communist is
now abating, partly as a result
of the detente between the U.S.
and the Communist powers on
the international scene.
"I think we have got over a
large part of the cold war hys-
teria, mainly because of the
detente," she says.
