  • 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.

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 Howard Schachman, dated April 26, 2007.
