2007-08 a T R a D It Io N G Iv in G ANNUAL REPORT 2007-08THE LIBRARY 1 University of California, Berkeley A TRADITIONof GIVING Shalaya Shipman, on the cover, graduated from UC Berkeley in 2007 with a BA in rhetoric, with an emphasis in narrative and image. She currently serves as a research analyst at CB Richard Ellis, in Oakland, CA, a commercial real estate brokerage. 2 THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, has been fashioned by many people through many decades. Its present-day stature as one of the finest public research libraries in the world testifies to the power of devoted effort and support sustained over time. The hundreds of thousands of people who have studied and worked here over the past century, and contributed to the Library’s collections and programs, have helped to shape the Library’s overarching idea: to collect, organize, and preserve the record of human knowledge—in the arts and humanities, the sciences and social sciences—and to make this knowledge accessible to students, faculty, and other researchers. Those of us who live close to the daily life of the Library are aware of the vast diversity of effort that goes into its functioning, thriving, and growth. The “Honor Roll” of donors who contributed to the library from July 2007 through June 2008 is one measure of this effort. Through your loyalty and generosity, the Library continues to thrive as a dynamic, ever- evolving institution, encouraging learning, exploration and discovery. Because of our donors’ tradition of giving, the Library is able to keep giving to the students and faculty of Berkeley. The forms of information and the methods of sharing it continue to develop as technology allows, but the principle remains the same: to answer the curiosity and inspire the investigations of our faculty and students. This is the tradition of learning shared by each of you—as alumni, as donors, and as friends. With this Annual Report, we take the opportunity to salute a few of our donors who have contributed to the Library annually for at least ten years or more — and to express our gratitude to all of you, for your gifts of every size and frequency. We couldn’t do it without you! DONOR PROFILE Since graduating from UC Berkeley in 1938, James Sinton has managed a cattle ranch in San Luis Obispo Country that has been in his family for over a century. Avenales Cattle Company is a mid-size ranch with 5o0-700 animals, and Sinton has also established a small vineyard on Sinton the property, selling the grapes to winemakers. The above photo of his ranch shows some of his family and friends moving a group of cattle over steep and rough country to a mountain pasture. As a student, Sinton’s favorite library spots were the Reserve Book Room and the Morrison Library. May Treat Morrison (class of 1878), who established the library in 1928 in memory of her husband, had been a friend of his grandmother’s. This comfortable, elegant room continues to be a favorite spot with students for relaxation and recreational reading. James James James Sinton comments that his sustained support of the University Library stems from his desire to direct his contributions “where they will do the most good,” reflecting the fact that the Library’s collections, spaces, and staff serve students and faculty in all departments across campus. He has given annually to the Library since 1983. 4 DONOR PROFILE A well-run library can be seen as a welcoming landscape, one that invites visitors to explore its treasures and to relax in a peaceful atmosphere. Yee-Sen Lee-Wolfe has pursued both sides of the analogy in her education and in her careers. With degrees from UC Berkeley in both landscape architecture (’73) and library science (’74), she has relished pursuing these two different yet complementary interests throughout her life. With a love of libraries that dates back to working at San Mateo Public Library as a high school student, it’s no surprise that Lee- Wolfe has been such a loyal supporter of the University Library. She and her husband Paul Wolfe have contributed to the Library Fund and the Environmental Design Library since the 1980s. Lee-Wolfe spent most of her fi fteen Lee-Wolfe years with the Contra Costa County Library at the Danville Public Library, and speaks of the “immediate satisfaction” of the public service aspect of her work there, helping people fi nd the books and resources they need. “I’ve always liked books, and cherished the pursuit of new knowledge,” she says. Lee-Wolfe currently works as a landscape architect with Wallace Group, an engineering group in San Luis Obispo. In her work there, she is delighted with the renewed focus on environmental sustainability. She notes that a particularly interesting and exciting aspect of her current Yee-Sen landscape architecture role is the opportunity to work with multiple professional disciplines, including planners, architects, and civil and other engineers, in planning a new community outside Merced with a build-out population of around 35,000. 5 DONOR PROFILE Leontina Gallagher was working on her dissertation on French 18th century culture at Johns Hopkins when her husband accepted a position at a San Francisco law fi rm, requiring a move west. Once they were established here, Gallagher found that the UC Berkeley Library was the “best library to work on my research, better than Stanford, and in fact, even better than the Bibliothèque Nationale, in Paris! The collection of French materials is immense.” By obtaining a library card as a California resident, Gallagher was able to make full use of the library’s collections. She has been an annual donor since 1986. More recently, she has used the University Gallagher Library to research the circumstances surrounding her grandfather’s murder in turn- of-the-century Texas in a property dispute. In this process, the availability of newspapers, legal documents and other materials online has been a boon, for Gallagher as for other independent scholars and family genealogists. In the recent past, she says, “you had to be someone important to get access to these records. Of course, along with the online resources, it’s also been helpful to have made friends with reference librarians in New Orleans and Texas, who can assist me in fi nding the information I need.” Gallagher calls her loyal support of the University Library “quite selfi sh! I want to make sure the UC Berkeley Library will continue to Leontina be there. It’s a resource not only for faculty and students, but also for the community. Learning is lifelong, and where else are you going to learn, if not at the library?” 6 DONOR PROFILE “My debt to the extraordinary collections the Library has amassed over the years is immense. I’ll never pay it back.” Noted cultural historian and music critic Greil Marcus (’67) remembers “magical” hours roaming the Doe Library stacks when he was an undergraduate, “one book leading me to another, reading and exploring and writing.” Having obtained a special pass to enter the stacks, which at that time were closed, Marcus felt he was “part of a secret, privileged world.” As an alumnus, Marcus returned to Berkeley’s Library to research his book Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the Twentieth Century (1989), which delves into topics as varied as the 16th century Anabaptists, the Dadaists, and British punk rockers. “The book took me nine years to write, and it would never have been remotely possible without the Berkeley Library.” For instance, his discovery of numerous pamphlets and books by the Lettrists, a postwar radical art cult in Paris, was an unusual treasure Marcus says he wouldn’t have found at Harvard, Marcus Yale, Columbia or Stanford. “I can’t imagine anyone got more out of the stacks than I did,” Marcus says. Well-known for using rock music as a lens through which to examine the American imagination, Marcus is the author of over a dozen books, and has been called “perhaps American’s most imaginative social critic.” He and his wife, Jenelle Marcus (’66), have given annually to the University Greil Library since 1983. 7 WHO’S WHO FOR THE LIBRARY’S ANNUAL DONOR CLUBS, 2007-08 Offering recognition for contributions to the Library, our Donor Clubs are named in honor of infl uential individuals in the history of the Library and the University. Over the years, their support of collections and programs in the Library has enabled it to grow into one of the world’s great research collections. Gifts in any amount are always greatly appreciated.

  • “I Don't Care for My Other Books, Now”
    THE LIBRARY University of California, Berkeley | No. 29 Fall 2013 | lib.berkeley.edu/give Fiat Lux “I don’t care for my other books, now” MARK TWAIN’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY CONTINUED by Benjamin Griffin, Mark Twain Project, Bancroft Library Mark Twain’s complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author’s death, as he requested. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Twain’s life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Like its predecessor, Volume 2 mingles a dia- ry-like record of Mark Twain’s daily thoughts and doings with fragmented and pungent portraits of his earlier life. And, as before, anything which Mark Twain had written but hadn’t, as of 1906–7, found a place to publish yet, might go in: Other autobiographies patiently and dutifully“ follow a planned and undivergent course through gardens and deserts and interesting cities and dreary solitudes, and when at last they reach their appointed goal they are pretty tired—and they The one-hundred-year edition comprises what have been frequently tired during the journey, too. could be called a director’s cut, says editor Ben But this is not that kind of autobiography.

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.

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.

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 indexed, 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 Betty Connors dated January 28, 2001. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

UC submitted detailed information on the proposal’s $300 million 2020-21 UC State Seismic Program on January 13, 2020. Based on these submissions the Department of Finance issued a preliminary approval for UC’s State Capital Outlay proposal on February 14, 2020. With Public Preschool, K-12, and College Health and Safety Bond Act of 2020 (Proposition 13) not passing, the University is requesting some adjustments to its 2020-21 State Capital Outlay proposal. As originally proposed, the $80 million 2020-21 Planning for Future State Capital Outlay program would fund preliminary plans for critical high priority State-eligible major capital projects.
