They vandalized and robbed both rooms. Taken from the rooms were several books, calculators, and miscellaneous items. The resident of one room, Mike Travis, remarked that several stereo components were severely damaged, as was a television. He surmised that the two burglars were planning to steal the stereo components, as they had been stacked next to the door. Subsequently, several stolen items were found near the car of the three Keenan residents who had brought the thieves to campus. Several officials believe that the two were planning to steal the car. Fr. Conyers noted that the criminals were “drunk or high or both.” He deduced this from their reckless handling of the components.

Blues, soul, rock'n'roll, jazz, and folk are recorded in the Bay Area throughout the 1940s and 1950s, without establishing a strong regional identity for San Francisco popular music. Key artists include: Lowell Fulson, Jimmy McCracklin, Vince Guaraldi, Bobby Freeman, Barbara Dane, and the Kingston Trio. B. San Francisco radio DJ Tom Donahue helps establish a rock label, Autumn Records, that gets one of the first Beatles-styled national hits by an American group with the Beau Brummels. Key artists: The Beau Brummels, the Mojo Men, the Vejtables. C. Kingston Trio manager Frank Werber handles We Five, who have one of the first folk-rock hits with "You Were on My Mind" in 1965. Meanwhile, the Beau Brummels mature from British Invasion imitators into a folk-rock sound of their own. Key artists: We Five, the Beau Brummels. Other themes: the growth of independent record labels and studios in the Bay Area; the power of local radio DJs and AM radio stations. II. The Birth of Underground San Francisco Rock A. Young adults and students start to populate the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, bringing with them a new counterculture and a hunger to create art without commercial restrictions. Key artists: the Charlatans, the Great Society, Big Brother & the Holding Company. B. Jefferson Airplane's founder and singer, Marty Balin, opens the Matrix Club in the Marina for the band to play in summer 1965.
