Acquisition Information Donated by estate executor Ana Luisa Cardona, October 2012 Biographical/Historical note Daniel del Solar (June 13, 1940 - January 13, 2012) was a prominent Latino media activist, photographer, videographer, documentarian, and poet who succeeded in contributing a remarkable amount to the Latino culture throughout his life. Born to the Venezuelan painter Luchita Hurtado Mullican and the Chilean Time Magazine journalist Daniel del Sorel Morel, del Solar grew up in Mexico, New York, Mill Valley, and Santa Monica, California, where he graduated from Santa Monica High School before attending Harvard University and going on to establish a career in public media. In the early 1970s, he joined the Berkeley KPFA-FM Comunicación Aztlán Collective. This was an offshoot of the Freedom Archives, an organization committed to the preservation and distribution of over 5,000 hours of audiotape recordings from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s focused on social and cultural transformation. By the mid-1970s, he became the National Director of Training and Development at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in Washington D.C. He worked with KQED-TV as Community Resources Coordinator for “Open Studio,” an experiment giving more people access to the tools of media production, and served as General Manager of KALQ-FM in San Francisco from 1985 to 1992 as well as General Manager of WYBE-TV in Philadelphia from 1992 to 1995. He was also on the national board of Citizens for Independent Public Broadcasting and was Development Director of the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. Settling in the Bay Area, del Solar actively participated for the next four decades in politics and art, writing poetry and documenting the movement towards progressive public media in the area. He co-produced a weekly radio program entitled “Reflecciónes de la Raza,” which aired on KPFA-FM, and contributed to the current KPFA weekly program “La Raza Chronicles,” which follows Latin political culture. He was a founding co-editor of “Tin-Tan,” a Chicano/Latino cultural magazine in San Francisco, contributed to the literary magazine El Tecolote Literario, and co-produced “Chile: Promise of Freedom,” an audio CD distributed on worldwide radio by the Freedom Archives. His photos have appeared online and in Preliminary Guide to the Daniel CEMA 145 2 del Solar Papers CEMA 145 books, including one entitled The “Woman Factor” in the Stepwells of Gujarat, written by his friend Purnima Bhatt. Perhaps one of del Solar’s most enduring legacies was his involvement in many Latin American social justice and solidarity movements. His involvement was on a somewhat personal level, as one of his cousins in Chile disappeared during the reign of military dictatorship following Allende, and the junta in Santiago had one of his friends killed in Washington. He traveled widely, reporting on events in Cuba, Chile, and Nicaragua in addition to the work of Venezuelan leftist leader Hugo Chavez. Del Solar died in Oakland, California at the age of 71 after a long battle with metastatic prostate cancer. His marriage to Diane Diamond ended in divorce, and his second wife, Susan Miriam Castellon, died November 22, 2003. He has four half-brothers, John and Matt Mullican and Jim and Rodrigo Gill. His mother resides in Santa Monica. Scope and Content Del Solar's papers cover Latin American interests in the political and artistic area from the 1950s to the 2000s. Public broadcasting, U.S. activities in Latin America, and Latin American politics are mixed in with his personal daily activities. Del Solar was part of the early vanguard of minorities involved with public broadcasting in the United States. Summits and conferences with African Americans involved in Public Broadcasting and writing are also recorded in his papers with videos, and photos. Del Solar's exploration of his life, his work and passions are expressed through the many media modes and creative avenues available during his lifetime. These papers are as yet unprocessed. The audio and video portions are processed. The audio files are organized by title. The video files have been organized first by media type and then by title. In the cases where Del Solar has given his audio and video files a catalog number we have put the number in the title to maintain his catalog order. The remainder of the collection has been reviewed and accessioned. There are many versions of photos in different media along with videos and audio files on CDs, and DVDs. Digital files on external hard drives and some of the CDs and DVDs have been saved on the Special Collections server. The series in this guide outline the contents of his collection. For the current location of the materials there is an accession report which gives first the date when the box was accessioned then a box number. Some items listed in the series outline can be located by doing searches through the accession list. The nine series are: Biographical, Subjects, Writings, Posters, Artwork, Mexican antiquities, Photography, Audio and Video. The Biographical Series lists some of the many significant family members and friends who are represented in his papers. His family was involved in collecting South west, indigenous, and Latin American art. Many friends and family members were artists, collectors, poets, writers and activists. The collection includes exhibit information, movies, and photos of family members’ artwork. Photos of his family’s homes over time are of interest in the context of a family who lived with and created art.

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

    Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brad T. Eidahl December 2017 © 2017 Brad T. Eidahl. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile by BRAD T. EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.
