It must have been difficult then to imagine a mature university serving nearly 30,000 students standing in this mainly agricultural region. With the appointment of Delmar^lT- • Oviatt as dean in September 1955, thc- coUege's first classes were held at the M initial site of San Fernando High School. About 800 students attended" evening courses taught by 10 professors. The planners' choice for a permanent site was a pumpkin patch in the ran­ ching community of Northridge. The infant school was the San Fernando Valley branch of Los Angeles State College of the Applied Arts, in the same way that UCLA had been the Southern Campus for UC Berkeley. ' Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Jan. 4, 1956, and two weeks' later, construction began on^ 14 blue and brown bungalows that would be th^ temporary home for the new campus. Water and electricity were barely in­ stalled in time for the official dedication ceremonies Sept. 24, 1956, when the American flag and the California Bear were raised over the campus for the first time. By the start of the school's second semester, it had 1,748 students, a 20 percent increase over the fall's population. More than half were education majors, a pattern that would continue for the next several years. The school newspaper debuted on Registration Day, Feb. 1,1957. In place of the paper's name, there was a big question mark and a request for readers to give suggestions. The State Standard was tried, but by March had been discarded in favor of the State Sundial. The class of '57 liked sundials so much that it gave one to the school as its class gift, creating a landmark of sorts. The Sunburst, the school annual, also appeared that year. It contained few pictures of the campus' humble facilities. It chose instead to concentrate on the people and JbQundle^ op­ portunities at the school.

Northridge before the birth of the university Fernando Valley. What became the busflirtg~~ — community of Northridge was once home to Gabrielino ry Indians and pioneer ranchers. When explorers first came to the arid valley in the late 1760s, they discovered a cool oasis in its northe section. The watering hole was a gatherinK place for the Indians native to the area. The Gabrie;finos, who were responsible for place names such as Topanga and Tujunga, lost their nomadic freedom by 1767 when the San Fernando Mission was established nearby. In 1822, more than 1,000 Indians were working at the mission. Others had fled the area to escape the slave labor conditions. Mexico took over California during its revolt against Spain in the 1830s. Later, American forces decided to take over the territory and in 1846 Mexico sold a San Fernando Valley rancho 13 of square leagues to Eulogio de Celis, a native of Spain. Four years later, California was admitted to the Union and that year's census of Los Angeles County listed de Celis as a !*I,J 42-year-old agriculturist with real estate worth S20,000. The heirs of de Celis split up the land after his death. The northern half of the valley went to Senators George K. Pwter and Charles Maclay. Porter, who was interested in ranching, called the 56,000 acres the "Valley of the Cumberland." Maclay, who was more interested in settlement, called the land "the Garden of Eden." Porter's cousin, Benjamin, came to California to join him as a partner. The Southern Pacific Railway brought settlers to the area in the 1870s using incentives such as cut-rate fares and transportation of lumber for housing at half the regular rate. Free barbecues, hosted by Maclay, SIso were held to attract residents. Town lots, 25 by 100 feet, sold for S10 to $50 each. Farmland was sold at %5 to $40 per acre in 40-acre tracts. As the Valley began to develop, differences between the Porters and Maclay also developed. They decided to separate their holdings. By 1882 the three had amicably parted, each with about 20,000 acres.

  • Lassiter JUH Submission Jan2015
    Note to Lunch U.P. group: This is the draft submission of an article that will be coming out later this year in a special issue of the Journal of Urban History on “Rethinking Urban Spaces in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” edited by Heather Thompson and Donna Murch. It’s excerpted from a longer chapter, about ‘juvenile delinquency’ and the federal and state declarations of war on narcotics during the 1950s, from my book project The Suburban Crisis: Crime, Drugs, and the Lost Innocence of Middle-Class America. Thanks in advance for reading this before the discussion. I realize this is fairly different from most of the other aspects of the programming this semester and through a mix-up I didn’t realize until just now that I was on the calendar, so don’t have time to put together a formal presentation. But I will bring the map and images I plan to include with this article, which is not yet in the copyediting phase. Also, please don’t circulate this draft beyond the listserv for this workshop series. Thanks, Matt Lassiter [email protected] Pushers, Victims, and the Lost Innocence of White Suburbia: California’s War on Narcotics during the 1950s Matthew D. Lassiter University of Michigan During the 1950s, neighborhood groups and civic organizations representing more than one million residents of California petitioned the state government for lengthy mandatory- minimum sentences for dope “pushers” who supplied marijuana and heroin to teenagers, with considerable public sentiment for life imprisonment or the death penalty. California’s war on narcotics enlisted a broad and ideologically diverse spectrum, led by nonpartisan alliances such as the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and the statewide PTA network and advanced by Republican and Democratic policymakers alike.

  • Governors and the Executive Branch
    I' I 1 Chapter 9 Governors and the Executive Branch Ethan Rarick The history of modem American politics cannot be written without discussing Cali~omia governors. One former governor (Ronald Reagan) went on to serve as president ofthe United States, of course, but in addition to that three others ran for president (Earl Warren, Jerry Brown, and Pete Wilson), one served as chief justice of the United States (Warren), and another was a global celebrity who could not seek the presidency only because he was a foreign-born immigrant (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The status of the office as a potential presidential launching pad caused at least two other national political figures-U.S. Sen. William Knowland and former Vice President Richard Nixon-to 'run for governor, and although Nixon lost his gubernatorial bid he ofcourse went on to eventually win the presidency. Aside from national elective politics, California's chief executive governs more Americans than anyone save the pre~ident, sits atop a state with the world's ninth largest economy, and often occupies a place on the world stage similar ta the leaders ofmiddle-sized nations. The incumbent as of 2013, Jerry Brown, is no exception to any of these trends.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Hadley Roff Hadley Roff: A Life in Politics, Government and Public Service Interviews conducted by Lisa Rubens in 2012 and 2013 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley 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 Hadley Roff dated June 21, 2013.

  • James Worthen. the Young Nixon and His Rivals: Four Californian Republicans Eye the White House, 1946-1958
    49 th Parallel , Vol. 26 (Autumn 2011) Martin ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) James Worthen. The Young Nixon and His Rivals: Four Californian Republicans Eye the White House, 1946-1958 . Jefferson, NC and London: McFarland & Company, 2010. 233pp. Richard Martin * Birkbeck, University of London How important is personality to a politician’s success? In James Worthen’s new study of mid-century Californian politics, policy is swept aside to highlight the ambitions, vanities and insecurities that drove four leading Republican figures in their quest for the Oval Office. Our protagonists are: Goodwin Knight, California’s witty and charismatic Governor between 1953 and 1959; William Knowland, an aloof and uncompromising Senate Majority Leader, who later shot himself; the relentlessly fascinating Richard Nixon, whose rapid rise from the House of Representatives to the Vice-Presidency anchors the book; and Earl Warren, thrice-elected State Governor and later a pragmatic Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This is an often compelling tale of political feuds and ruthless positioning that culminates in four rivals from one state dominating the national Republican scene. Worthen, a former CIA official, begins by sketching brief but effective biographies of the four men. His prose is light and journalistic, though hindered by occasional lapses: Nixon, for instance, is rather clumsily described as having “a facility for oral self-expression” (38). Their subsequent careers are deeply intertwined, but fraught with conflicting aspirations. After all four men are elected to various state offices in 1946, it is Warren who initially emerges as the most powerful figure in Californian politics. In fact, as Worthen demonstrates, Warren’s bid for governor was dependent upon the support of William Knowland’s father, Joe, the owner of the Oakland Tribune .

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “American Indian Freedom Controversy:” Political and Social Activism by Southern California Mission Indians, 1934-1958 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Heather Marie Daly 2013 © Copyright by Heather Marie Daly 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “American Indian Freedom Controversy:” Political and Social Activism by Southern California Mission Indians, 1934-1958 by Heather Marie Daly Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Janice Reiff, Chair At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologists and politicians alike predicted the extinction of American Indians. Yet, Native Americans survived, persevered, and instituted political activism concerning the United States federal Indian policies in that century. Drawing upon Bureau of Indian Affairs and State of California archival materials, oral histories, and tribal records, this dissertation addresses American Indian political movements in Southern California Mission Indian country in the years 1934-1958. This study focuses on the different factions on and off the Southern California Indian reservations and the federal Indian policies that inspired resistance within these communities. I argue that the implied passivity that the Bureau of Indian Affairs and reformers labeled California Indians was a myth. The political movements established during the first half of the twentieth century demonstrates that the Mission Indians had the required tools to maintain their ii tribal land and sovereignty. This dissertation starts with the impending implementation of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act and covers the administration of John Collier as Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the reactions to the Indian New Deal by the Mission Indians in Southern California.

  • Langkawi and Chips Mark Butler
    Langkawi and CHiPs Mark Butler I don’t ride motorbikes. I don’t know how. But when I’m on holiday and someone presents me with a scooter, I always saddle up. It could be the heat, the oversized helmets, or the sunglasses… I don’t know. But as soon as I squeeze that throttle, I enter the world of 1980s television. I am on the island of Langkawi in Malaysia. It’s six letters and a million miles from L.A. but with an engine between my legs I suddenly become one half of TV cop duo, CHiPS. My friend has already bagsed Poncherello on account of him having a similar skin tone to Erik Estrada, so I end up being the character played by Larry Wilcox whose name no-one ever remembers. But names and engine sizes don’t matter. I’m on a bike in the sunshine, cruising the island roads with the wind and the insects in my face. My confidence grows and it shows in my bike handling – I’m banking around banana trees, and overtaking minibuses on the wrong side of the road. But I always stay on the right side of the law – I’m one of the good guys, remember. I spot a fancy hotel around Tanjung Rhu. I sidle up to my partner and ask him to pull over – this highway patrol business is thirsty work. The hotel is so exclusive we have to blag our way past security, and its beach is so white the sand could be sugar. From the restaurant’s veranda the view of the limestone outcrops is spectacular.
