But I have no memory of it. I do remember that "the Barrows girls" (undifferentiated) were held forth as a promise that living in the President's House was not the unrelieved disaster that it first appeared to be to my 13-year-old eyes. The Barrows girls were the only young girls who had preceded me there and in my mother's glowing stories they became larger than life- golden girls who moved gaily from triumph to triumph, at ease and delighting in all manner of company and occasions. And though I had no reason to doubt that life for such fairytale creatures was, even amidst such awesome surroundings, a constant joy, it just did not seem much help to me. Such is my first picture of Ella, a second-hand one, but beneath its school-girl excesses it has, I believe, a base of truth. The next frame is observed first-hand and is entirely different. Ella was on the Board of the University YWCA when, as a college girl, I had a half-hearted connection with it. But most students have little contact with board members, and the less-than-fully committed none at all. Nonetheless, when the time came in 1957 to raise the money for the new building, even the half-hearted were rounded up, and so I attended that first organizational meeting chaired by Ella. I came to that meeting because I liked Ella very much and because it it was obviously a job that had to be done. I think that most of the others had very similar motivations. Not Ella. She couldn't believe, she said (I am paraphrasing, not quoting, but the impression is exact), that she could be so lucky, and we were lucky too. Just by fortunate chance we were there at the right time. She said we were going to all work together, and build a beautiful new home for our beloved YWCA. We were going to raise $2 00, 000 --much more, very likely- -and we were going to have the time of our lives doing it. The way this was put left no doubt it was for Ella the simple truth, and even the reluctant skeptics were caught up in her enthusiasm, this despite the fact that no one beforehand had thought in the heady terms of $200,000. In any event, I did enjoy it, and we did raise more than $200,000. ii I would like to place next to this, for the purposes of showing a continuity, the incident of the National Service Committee that Ella recollects in the interviews. This took place in her college years, but her reactions to accepting its challenge are strikingly similar: "...and this other committee was the most thrilling and exciting thing I could possibly do... It was a real war job and especially appealing because of that. They formed a new committee called the National Service Committee and it was money-raising--that 's where money-raising got into my blood... Everyone took pledge cards and we went over the top in one day. You can't imagine how together we all were... But it was a marvellous experience, if you can imagine, a campuswide fund drive in which everyone was involved." Clearly, money-raising, not undertaken as a necessary but distasteful chore but embraced joyously as a life-enhancing opportunity, is an integral part of the person Ella is. In my experience this trait is unique, and the components of personality that bring it into being, and the talents that foster its execution provide for me a key to the nature of Ella's life and an understanding of her contribution to the community. It is obvious that Ella could sell anything, even voile dresses to little Japanese women as she describes in her debut at Weinstock-Lubin. But in the campaigns which she highlights in her story, her enthusiasm is fueled by the chance of serving, always a deeply-felt need to her, and by her love for the people who make up the institution served and with whom she will work.

  • Proposal to Un-Name Barrows Hall
    Proposal to Un-Name Barrows Hall July 9, 2020 by Melissa Charles and Takiyah Jackson UC Berkeley African American Student Development Office with research and drafting support from many UC Berkeley students, staff, and faculty in response to calls for action by the Black Student Union, Black Graduate Student Association, Filipinx and Philippine Studies Working Committees, RECLAIM, and other members of the community for review by the UC Berkeley Building Name Review Committee Community Acknowledgement and Campus Process Students, faculty, and staff have advocated for the campus to rename Barrows Hall in a way that better reflects our Principles of Community. This was outlined very clearly in the “Ten Initial Demands” put ​ ​ ​ ​ forward by the Black Student Union in 2015. Renaming Barrows Hall to dismantle the history of David Prescott Barrows and his views on the Philippines was proposed by participants in the fall 2019 Filipinx Summit at UC Berkeley. This sentiment and rationale has also been discussed in the student press: for example, in a Daily Californian feature by Nelly Lin in 2016, in an op-ed published in that paper by ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Bradley Afroilan and Anthony Williams, in an editorial by the Daily Californian editorial board in 2016, in ​ ​ a piece by Revatti Thatte in 2017, and briefly in a Daily Californian editorial in 2020. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Many on the Berkeley campus — including staff in the African American Student Development Office; members of the Black Graduate Student Association, the Black Student Union, the Committee for Philippine Studies, and the student advocacy organization RECLAIM; and individual students past and present such as the artists and activists Anthony Williams and Bradley Afroilan — have devoted significant energy to illuminating the troubling legacy of Barrows Hall’s namesake and the ways in which the presence of the name continues to affect members of our community.

  • Kizh Not Tongva, E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA)
    WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation 2016 1 WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation The original Indian Tribe of the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, has been referred to variously which has lead to much confusion. This article is intended to clarify what they were called, what they want to be called today (Kizh), and what they do not want to be called (i.e. “tongva”). Prior to the invasion of foreign nations into California (the Spanish Empire and the Russian Empire) in the 1700s, California Indian Tribes did not have pan-tribal names for themselves such as Americans are used to (for example, the “Cherokee” or “Navajo” [Dine]). The local Kizh Indian People identified themselves with their associated resident village (such as Topanga, Cahuenga, Tujunga, Cucamonga, etc.). This concept can be understood if one considers ancient Greece where, before the time of Alexander the Great, the people there did not consider themselves “Greeks” but identified with their city states. So one was an Athenian from Athens or a Spartan from Sparta. Similarly the Kizh identified with their associated villages. Anthropologists, such as renowned A.L. Kroeber, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, who wrote the first “bible” of California Indians (1925), inappropriately referred to the subject tribe as the “Gabrielinos” (Kroeber 1925).
