It brings back pleasant memories to those of us on this committee who are here to be back in this very delightful courtroom where we were permitted to hold hearings before this committee in the fall of 1969. Those were very significant hearings because, among other things, they brought out the extent of the illicit traffic in amphetamines which was going on in the country and across the borders of the United States and Mexico.

It denotes the believable portrayal of another identity, usually racial or gendered. Both have long been topics of media representations. Probing where and how they are used differently in popular culture yields insight into the operation of identity, engaging such issues as the social construction of authenticity, performance, and the “real.” I argue cinema and television have changed how drag and passing are deployed, such that what ii passes for reality and authenticity comes into question while the purposes and functions of drag and passing are also changed.

  • In the Apple of Knowledge
    triton ti October 31, 1969 Vol. 8 No.5 WORMS IN THE APPLE In recent years, the traditional respect for the sanctity of academic freedom has all but vanished. Issue-seeking pOliticians in both major political parties have at­ tempted to equate academic freedom with espionage and subversion. Students, finding certain professors and doctrine inimical to their own views, have interrupted classes and shouted down speakers. At Harvard, a professor's research notes, which took two decades to compile, were incinerated by angry students. At UCLA, a highly qualified woman was fired by the Regents because of her political views and affi­ OF KNOWLEDGE liations. It is regrettable that these are not mere isolated incidents, but part of a trend which is exhibiting increasing vitality. The highly emotional atmosphere surrounding the universities has effectively obscured the meaning of academic freedom. People outside the university forget by Tom Bake r the vital role played by academic freedom in maintaining the democratic nature of Feature Ed itor society. To these people, it has come to mean a special license granted to professors, which often lead s to subversion and pornography. On the other hand, students often feel that certain views are fascist, or racist, and thereby justlJy certain form ~ of behavior such as disrupting classes. This view was well expressed first by that p3.ragon of conservatism, Barry Gold­ water, who said, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of freedom is no virtue." The traditional notion of academic freedom thus finds itself attacked from both within and without the university, and is in danger of total collapse.
