Oral History Center University of California the Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Dorothy Walker Interviews conducted by Shanna Farrell in 2014 and 2015 Copyright © 2015 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and June 4, 2015. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

She went to grade school in Angels Camp and was an active singer and pianist in several musical groups. She attended UC Berkeley from 1948 until 1950, when she left after getting married. She moved to Chicago in 1953 and returned to Berkeley in 1960 and subsequently completed her Bachelor’s degree. From there, she worked for the city of Berkeley and UC Berkeley until she retired in 1992. In her work for the City of Berkeley Ms. Walker helped desegregate Berkeley public schools, limited high- speed car traffic in residential neighborhoods, and was involved in three downtown plans. As a UC Berkeley employee she radically transformed parking on campus, helped acquire the Clark Kerr Campus, and with her appointment as Assistant Vice Chancellor of Property Development in 1989 she was the first woman administrator "chancellor" on campus. She has been active in her retirement, serving on many local committees. v Table of Contents—Dorothy Walker Interview 1: October 7, 2014 Audio File 1 1 Birth in Stockton, CA in 1930 — high school language teacher mother and peach farmer father, their marriage in 1927 and birth of first child in 1928 — onset of the Depression, loss of farm — 1935 loan and move to Calaveras County, opening a gasoline distribution business in Angels Camp — schooling in a one- room school — more about parents Grace Ross and Elsworth Alford — regional adaptations in pronunciation of Alford — mother’s Canadian roots, family’s Salvation Army membership, moves in California as a child, attendance at UC Berkeley — father’s Amador County farm roots, WWI service, rural mail delivery work — parents’ meeting — childhood memories: measles and severe complications at age 4, being nursed by father — mother’s harsh upbringing and resulting parenting anxieties — happy times spent with paternal grandmother — life-long closeness with older brother Robert Ross Alford, much younger siblings David and Wendy Lou — “My older brother and I were really the children of my parents’ poverty and my younger brother and sister were children of my parents’ affluence.” — paternal grandmother Lucy Chamberlain — both parents working: mother teaching high school Spanish and French, father running the gasoline business — Angels Camp in 1935: still an old Gold Rush town — homes, downtown, oddities of construction to accommodate steep valley location — the formative impact of the vibrant downtown, the importance of the post office — later suburbanization of Angels Camp, political aspects of zoning changes — one- room school with basic equipment but good teachers — early music education, family music culture, singing, playing piano — voice lessons, passion for singing, becoming the town pianist after brother Bob left for college — joining a dance band in high school — traveling with the band, music from the American Songbook — musical heroes and influences Audio File 2 13 Six weeks at music summer camp at the college of Pacific in Stockton as a teenager — later singing with Treble Clef at UC Berkeley — music curriculum in high school — choral performance under Robert Shaw — 1949 or 1950 college sophomore summer in Houston with uncle Robert Ross — 54 hours on the train from Berkeley to Houston, encountering segregated drinking fountains — amazement at the extravagant life provided by oil money — filling in as a sound technician — observing life in the South, theater life, and getting better acquainted with uncle Robert Ross and his wife Margelo Gilmore — childhood learning to be independent and confident by exploring the natural surroundings in Angels Camp — special bond with brother Bob: “He was the most important family member until he died.

In general, the new process would delegate much more authority to the campus for project approval, and would limit project-specific review by The Regents to very large and complex projects. Each campus would prepare a set of ‘framework’ plans that outline its capital investment strategy and physical design approach. Once those plans are approved by The Regents, then as long as a project meets certain thresholds, and conforms to the framework plans, it could be approved by the Chancellor, subject to a 15 day review by OP. One of these thresholds is dollar value: the currently proposed figure is $60 million or less. The framework plans for Berkeley include 3 documents: • The 2020 Long Range Development Plan provides a land use policy framework, within which projects can be prioritized and planned.

  • Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/Music and Pictures/All Writing/Loafers Guide/In
    Loafer's Guide to the U.C. Berkeley Campus file:///Volumes/music and pictures/all writing/loafers guide/in... A LOAFER’S GUIDE TO THE U.C. BERKELEY CAMPUS b Caroln Doughert (last updated November 2004) Introduction, 2000 I started this book while attending graduate school at Berkeley in 1987, and completed the manuscript (to the extent that it is completed) in 1994, at which time I was living in the Midwest and was unable to show it to anyone who might have been interested. As I state in the following Prolog, a book like this is dated before it's begun-in the six years since I finished it several buildings have been demolished and several more of varying quality and prominence have been added to the campus. Departments have moved, services have disappeared and others have been created. And many of the places I mention, like the lobby of Hearst Mining and the Environmental Design library, are currently closed while undergoing renovation or seismic retrofit. I'm hoping, though, that the information in this book will be useful and entertaining to people who either remember what the campus used to be like (or want to know) and people who will find that many of the things I describe can still be found on campus. I'd like to encourage anyone who has additional information to add, or who would like to take on the task of updating this manuscript, to contact me at carolyn dot webmail at ntlworld dot com. Enjoy the book, and have fun exploring our beautiful and historic campus.
