Washington, D.C. 20036 Printed in U.S.A. - FOREWORD In bringing a focus on student activism in the junior colleges, John Lombardi and the editors of the ERIC Clearinghouse monograph series are to be congratulated for exploring an area overlaid with confusion, misunderstanding, and emotional extremes. The author's first step is to assist his readers in understanding some of the distinctions between the goals Wand styles of different activist groupings. He includes: the New Left, Black Power, Mexican-Americans, rightists, student body offi- cers, and others. Lombaidi notes that student government has been bypassed by the activists. "Student body officers are considered, at best, part of the administrative process and, at worst, stooges for the adminis- tration...." Our author then perceives that "The potentially stabilizing force of peer disapproval does not operate to effectpeace on campus." From considerations of anomie and the generation gap, Lombardi systematically discusses the events, the issues and thecauses.Dr. Lombardi anticipates a trend which spreads as if by contagion and in which the students at the junior colleges imitate their counterpartsat four-year institutions. Sometimes the style is imitated and sometimes the content. For example, students at one junior college demanded that the school nurse dispense birth control pillsa popular rallying point at universitieswhen, in fact, she is not authorized to dispense aspirin. Further, Dr. Lombardi undertakes the exploration of paternalism and authoritarianism on the part of administrators. He demonstrates the pervasive ambivalence toward change through activists' methods which they generally consider unacceptable. Yet throughout this monograph one is made to realize that the long overdue need for change persists despite one's view of the selfappointed champions. Significantly, Lom- bardi reminds us that administrators do "not (have)a license to return to the preactivist era." I A facile approach is denied thereader in exchange fora multidimen- sional description of challenging,irritating, and provocative phenomena, presented by the mildly dissidentto the wildly unreasonable, andsome- times violent and destructive,students and nonstudents. Theinflexi- bility of the Establishment inthe face of needed updating of theeduca- tional system is exposed.The problem is traced from theinception of student activism at Berkeleyto its infiltration of the junior colleges. This monograph is carefullydocumented. Chapters relating to the "Joint Statementon Rights and Freedom of Students" and theA.A.U.P. statement "On Student Status" (in whichDr. Lombardi lists majorcon- cerns of students and discusses currentsuccesses of the demands) offer not only interpretation but thereprinting of the important documents themselves. Thereare a tremendous number of useful insightsint& the functioning and malfunctioning ofthe American college and university. Educators must bewary lest they join forces with elements ofthe outside community whomay put forward parochial attitudes about activ- ism. This paper takesus away from the idea of classifying all dissidents as psychopaths and all of conformityas normal or even in the best public interest. Ina society of total conformity the mind and bodyare imprisoned. Whereonce we had wilderness for rugged individualism, the campuses have becomefrontiers for the spirit, but frontiersare disturbing places. jolm Lombardi has writtenan erudite and dispassionate review of student activism. Themonograph is a significant contributionto the literature at all levels. Dr. Lombardistimulates us to rethink our own attitudes and thus helpsto promote a rational approachto this highly, volatile subject. Robert S. Berns Consultant in Social Psychiatry University of California, LosAngeles II 1. PREFACE This monograph, ihe sixth in theClearinghouse/AAJC series, represents a departure from the pattern set by the firstfive lit that it does not report results of a surveyor series of experiments. Rather, it brings together the views ofa concerned, respectcd leader ona topic of great import today. The monograph is a conciseoverview of all forms of student "activ- ism," its causes and theresponses to it. It places activism ina context of history and the broadersociety, and is itself a plea for avoidingover- reaction to the situation. Ofparticular note are the author'scomments regarding the "Alice in Wonderland"nature of officially sanctioned stu- dent activities and relationshipsbetween those and activism. Curiously, as he points out, only about 5per cent to 10 per cent of the students on any junior collegecampus are involved in student activitiesor in student activismalthough,of course, it is not thesame students who take part in both sets ofhappenings. John Lombardi, assistantsuperintendent of the Los Angeles City School Districts, is well knownnationally in the junior college field.He has been an instructor,dean, and president prior to his comingto his present position and has servedon many AAJC commissions.

McLELLAN Catholic University ofAmerica MIRANDA YATES Brown University Taking the position that there is a developmental process in the formation of citizenship, the authors reviewed studies that reported a link between youth's participation in organized activities and civic behaviors 15 or more years later in adulthood. Data uniformly showed that students who participated in high school government or community service projects, meant in the broad sense, are more likely to vote and to join community organizations than are adults who were nonparticipants during high school. Results support the authors' view that participation during the youth era can be seminal in the construction of civic identity that includes a sense of agency and social responsibility in sustaining the community's well-being.

Briggs, chair Professor Nancy Scheper-Hughes Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres Fall 2012 Copyright © by Samuel Bañales 2012 ABSTRACT Decolonizing Being, Knowledge, and Power: Youth Activism in California at the Turn of the 21st Century by Samuel Bañales Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California at Berkeley Professor Charles L. Briggs, chair By focusing on the politics of age and (de)colonization, this dissertation underscores how the oppression of young people of color is systemic and central to society. Drawing upon decolonial thought, including U.S. Third World women of color, modernity/coloniality, decolonial feminisms, and decolonizing anthropology scholarship, this dissertation is grounded in the activism of youth of color in California at the turn of the 21st century across race, class, gender, sexuality, and age politics. I base my research on two interrelated, sequential youth movements that I argue were decolonizing: the various walkouts organized by Chican@ youth during the 1990s and the subsequent multi-ethnic "No on 21" movement (also known as the "youth movement") in 2000.

  • Spring 1965 an Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008)
    one Spring 1965 An Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008) in january 1965, in the wake of the turbulent Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus and the demise of its chancellor, Edward Strong, the new acting chancellor, Martin Meyerson, asked me to join his staff as a special assistant in the area of student political activity. This was the hottest seat in the chancellor’s offi ce at that moment, given the political fragility of the campus. I served eight months in that capacity until a new chancellor, Roger Heyns, was appointed and I took a scheduled sabbatical leave. Those months were a tense and uncertain period that resulted in an unsteady but palpable restoration of authority on the Berkeley campus and a few steps toward campus “normalcy.” They also constituted a period of rapid and mandatory political learning on my part and one of the most demanding seasons of my life. Over the years many colleagues have asked me to write about this important transitional period, both because it has received less attention than the historic Free Speech Movement days of late 1964 and because I had an “insider’s” point of view; now, in 2008, I have fi nally acceded to those requests. I have returned to the archives of the chancellor’s offi ce, to accounts of the events in the press, and to my personal recollections. The staff of the Bancroft Library were very helpful in supplying materials relevant to the Meyerson administration from the fi les of the chancellor’s offi ce. I also benefi ted from the research assistance of Ziza Delgado and Catherine Shepard-Haier.

    E pluribus unum: The Berkeley Free Speech Movement of 1964 Madeleine Riskin-Kutz Free Speech Movement march through Sather Gate, Mona Hutchin on the extreme right (marchers’ perspective) and Mario Savio on the extreme left. From Warshaw p.56, photo credit: Ron Enfield, Nov. 20, 1964 Madeleine R-K, E pluribus unum, cont. During the academic year of 1964-65, a political movement took place at the University of California (UC), Berkeley bringing together students and faculty from across the political spectrum — from communists to campaigners for right-wing Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Members of the movement united in their demand for free speech on campus and specifically, to be allowed to set up tables on campus to campaign for political causes. Their movement took place through demonstrations and sit-ins, ultimately achieving success in December 1964, when the academic senate voted unanimously to approve a resolution that there would henceforth be no restrictions on the content of speech or political advocacy on campus, except in regard to time, place and manner. Histories of the Free Speech Movement (FSM) have represented it as left wing and have therefore overlooked one of its essential features: it was a broad coalition operating largely by consensus among people with widely differing political views. By restoring the center-to-right wing side of the history of the FSM, we can first of all recognize this broad coalition’s existence, then also understand it was possible because of a form of universalism among students. A universal principle united the members of the Free Speech Movement.

    CHAPTER 9 I he iiew Lett AS EASY IT WAS TO TELL BLACK FROM WHITE/IT WAS ALL THAT EASY TO TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT. —Bob Dylan, 1963' In his inaugural address in 1961, President John F. Kennedy sounded a call for selfless dedication to national renewal—posed significantly in terms of generational mission. "Let the word go forth," the new president declared, that "the torch has been passed to a new generation." And then, in the best- remembered line of the entire speech, he proclaimed: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." This summons to self-sacrificing idealism appealed to many young Amer- icans coming of age in the 1960s, though the forms in which their response was expressed would vary widely. Some joined the newly established Peace Corps, and worked for low pay and in primitive conditions in "developing countries" abroad. Others, later in the decade, would join VISTA, the do- mestic equivalent of the Peace Corps launched as part of the war on poverty, and headed off to do good works in Appalachia and urban ghettos. The Peace Corps and VISTA tended to draw the most recruits from the same campuses as did the early New Left: the University of California at Berkeley, for ex- ample, was the single most important source of volunteers for the Peace Corps in the early 1960s.2 The same impulse that led some to volunteer for government-sponsored experiments in social service and community organizing led others to join insurgent movements for civil rights and peace.
