  • Experimental Activism at UCSC, 1965-1970
    1 Experimental Activism at UCSC, 1965-1970 By Robbie Stockman The 1960s shifted Americans' consciousness from complacency to dissatisfaction and revolt. The Civil Rights, Free Speech, Third World and antiwar movements together with the hippie subculture plunged the nation into chaotic liberation. In response to student concerns, University of California administrators created an ideal learning experiment at Santa Cruz. UC president Clark Kerr, UC Dean of Academic Planning Dean McHenry and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) history professor Page Smith dedicated the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to undergraduate education. Through a series of academic reforms and innovative techniques, UCSC administrators and faculty created an intellectually stimulating, communal university. Students at UCSC were compelled to create the culture of their university in this tumultuous time. Though UCSC student activism involved intellectual discussion and peaceful protest, they were ineffective at creating social change and as the campus developed, UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University (SFSU) began to control the direction of UCSC thought and action. UCSC: The Creation of an Aesthetic The dilemma at previous universities resulted from professors torn between their own research and educating undergraduate students. In the "publish or perish" world of higher education, professors focused mostly on their own research at the expense of student learning. UCLA history professor Page Smith considered such actions wasteful, considering

I However, recent historians have deemphasized the role ofSOS in the broader national student protest movement and no longer portray student activism as monolithic or unified.2 Furthermore, some historians, especially Caroline Hoefferle, have emphasized that student activism differed among universities because protests were a reaction to local issues as much as national themes.3 As a result, popular student protests, such as the demonstrations held at the University ofCalifornia-Berkeley and Columbia University, cannot define the broader student movement.

  • National War Protests 1970
    National events leading up to the decisions of the Tuck School faculty on May 8, 1970, regarding classes for the balance of the school year On April 30, 1970, President Nixon announced the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. On May 1, protests on college campuses and in cities throughout the U.S. began. In Seattle, over a thousand protestors gathered at the Federal Courthouse and cheered speakers. At the University of Maryland, an estimated 1,500 students vandalized an armory building where Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) classes were held. And at the University of Cincinnati, a number of demonstrators were arrested after they conducted a sit-in and blocked a busy intersection in the middle of the city. Other students such as at Princeton University protested by cutting classes and sought to organize a nationwide student strike. At Kent State University in Ohio, a demonstration with about 500 students was held on the Commons. On May 2, students burned down the ROTC building at Kent State. On May 4, poorly-trained National Guardsmen confronted and killed four students while injuring ten others by bullets during a large protest demonstration at the college. Soon, more than 450 university, college and high school campuses across the country were shut down by student strikes and both violent and non-violent protests that involved more than 4 million students. On May 7, violent protests began at the University of Washington with some students smashing windows in their Applied Physics laboratory and throwing rocks at the police while chanting "the pigs are coming!” On May 8, ten days after Nixon announced the Cambodian invasion (and 4 days after the Kent State shootings), 100,000 protesters gathered in Washington and another 150,000 in San Francisco.

  • The Class of 1970 Fiftieth Reunion Book
    WESLEYAN 70 FIFTIETH REUNION | MAY 21–24, 2020 | WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY WESLEYAN 70 FIFTIETH REUNION | MAY 21–24, 2020 | WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Dear Classmates, I have always felt lucky to have been at Wesleyan from 1966–1970. We were able to experience the conflict and change of those years in a safe environment that encouraged learning, arguing, and experimentation. So, when Kate Quigley Lynch asked me to edit our fiftieth reunion yearbook, I was happy to take the job. Ted Reed, a Wesleyan roommate and former Miami Herald reporter, agreed to be my partner in creating the book. Our goals were to let everybody know what our classmates have been doing for the past half century, to celebrate the lives of classmates who have died, and to honor the professors who were important to us. Additionally, we hoped that through preparing essays, compiling Argus stories, and chronicling outside events, we could help you remember not only our time on campus, but also the drama of the unique period when we were there. Jeff Sarles did a terrific job of finding, organizing, and writing captions for photos highlighting events happening in the outside world during our Wesleyan years. Much of this work is in the book. His full presentation is available on the class page (www.wesleyan.edu/classof1970) and will be played as a slide show during reunion weekend. John Sheffield, Maurice Hakim, and Jeremy Serwer read every Argus edition published during our time at Wesleyan and identified stories of interest. Many of you wrote heartfelt remembrances of classmates who died and others helped identify photos.

This theoretical definition of the university’s function should now become, as the students see it, the literal one; and the results are as unsettling as they are promising and enormously exciting.” -Norman Cousins, Saturday Review 2 Introduction In May of 1970, the University of New Hampshire had armed National Guardsmen stationed less than two miles from campus awaiting their chance to quell any disturbances that may arise.
