“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. This one Griffin. “It hasn’t been cut to size or made to fit is only a pleasure excursion. the requirements of the market or brought into ” continued on page 6-7 line with notions of public decency. -

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. -

Mitchell Chair, Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Assembly Committee on Budget State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Ms. Keely Bosler Director of Finance State Capitol, Room 1145 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Senator Mitchell, Assembly Member Ting, and Director Bosler: On August 30, 2019 in accordance with Sections 92493 through 92496 of the Education Code, the University of California submitted for your review and approval the University’s 2020-21 State Capital Outlay proposal totaling $551.4 million. 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. With the exception of the San Diego campus’ Revelle College Seismic project, these projects relied on funding from Proposition 13. Accordingly, the University is proposing the revisions to the 2020-21 State Capital Outlay proposal as discussed as follows. -
Spring 1965 an Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008)
one Spring 1965 An Analytic and Autobiographical Account (2008) in january 1965, in the wake of the turbulent Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus and the demise of its chancellor, Edward Strong, the new acting chancellor, Martin Meyerson, asked me to join his staff as a special assistant in the area of student political activity. This was the hottest seat in the chancellor’s offi ce at that moment, given the political fragility of the campus. I served eight months in that capacity until a new chancellor, Roger Heyns, was appointed and I took a scheduled sabbatical leave. Those months were a tense and uncertain period that resulted in an unsteady but palpable restoration of authority on the Berkeley campus and a few steps toward campus “normalcy.” They also constituted a period of rapid and mandatory political learning on my part and one of the most demanding seasons of my life. Over the years many colleagues have asked me to write about this important transitional period, both because it has received less attention than the historic Free Speech Movement days of late 1964 and because I had an “insider’s” point of view; now, in 2008, I have fi nally acceded to those requests. I have returned to the archives of the chancellor’s offi ce, to accounts of the events in the press, and to my personal recollections. The staff of the Bancroft Library were very helpful in supplying materials relevant to the Meyerson administration from the fi les of the chancellor’s offi ce. I also benefi ted from the research assistance of Ziza Delgado and Catherine Shepard-Haier. -

E Pluribus Unum: the Berkeley Free Speech Movement of 1964 Madeleine Riskin-Kutz
E pluribus unum: The Berkeley Free Speech Movement of 1964 Madeleine Riskin-Kutz Free Speech Movement march through Sather Gate, Mona Hutchin on the extreme right (marchers’ perspective) and Mario Savio on the extreme left. From Warshaw p.56, photo credit: Ron Enfield, Nov. 20, 1964 Madeleine R-K, E pluribus unum, cont. During the academic year of 1964-65, a political movement took place at the University of California (UC), Berkeley bringing together students and faculty from across the political spectrum — from communists to campaigners for right-wing Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. Members of the movement united in their demand for free speech on campus and specifically, to be allowed to set up tables on campus to campaign for political causes. Their movement took place through demonstrations and sit-ins, ultimately achieving success in December 1964, when the academic senate voted unanimously to approve a resolution that there would henceforth be no restrictions on the content of speech or political advocacy on campus, except in regard to time, place and manner. Histories of the Free Speech Movement (FSM) have represented it as left wing and have therefore overlooked one of its essential features: it was a broad coalition operating largely by consensus among people with widely differing political views. By restoring the center-to-right wing side of the history of the FSM, we can first of all recognize this broad coalition’s existence, then also understand it was possible because of a form of universalism among students. A universal principle united the members of the Free Speech Movement. -
