Christensen, resigned from office. He had served the campus from July 1974 to January 1976. This second of two oral history volumes devoted to the Christensen era, is comprised of two interviews with Professor George Von der Muhll. The first was conducted by former Regional History Project director Randall Jarrell in 1976; the second by current Project director Irene Reti in 2014. Both set Christensen’s resignation within the broader context of a tumultuous and transitional moment in the campus’s history and Von der Muhll’s incisive reflections on UC Santa Cruz as a “noble experiment” in public higher education. Founding Chancellor Dean McHenry had brought to fruition his singular vision for UC Santa Cruz as an innovative institution of higher education that emphasized undergraduate teaching centered in residential colleges, each with a specific intellectual theme and architectural design, within the framework of what he envisioned as a major public research university. McHenry oversaw the planning and building of UCSC from 1961 until his retirement in June 1974. In the early years, UCSC drew high caliber students and gained considerable national visibility as an innovative university. But by the mid-1970s, applications were declining and enrollments were on the verge of falling. Internally, the campus was fracturing along fault lines UC Santa Cruz in the Mid-1970s: a Time of Transition, Volume II page 2 created by debates over the colleges’ academic role and over the relative weight to be placed on research and teaching, while UCSC struggled to weather a variety of external political and economic pressures and to hold its own as a distinctive campus within the traditional University of California. Christensen’s tenure as chancellor rather tragically ended in controversy after only eighteen months. Although most of the faculty liked Christensen as a person, they lost confidence in his ability to govern the campus. The Regional History Project never conducted an oral history with Mark Christensen, who passed away in 2003. But former director Randall Jarrell completed a series of interviews with key faculty members and administrators who had been directly involved in the Christensen case. Jarrell decided to withhold publication of these oral histories due to their sensitive political nature at the time. Now, nearly four decades later, we are able to publish these volumes as part of the Project’s Institutional History of UCSC series. Professor Von der Muhll’s initial oral history was cut short by circumstance; hence we took the somewhat unusual step of conducting a much more in-depth follow-up oral history with Von der Muhll, who graciously agreed to this endeavor and devoted a great deal of time to both the interviews and to editing the transcript. George Von der Muhll is now an emeritus professor of politics at UCSC. He arrived at UC Santa Cruz in 1969 affiliated with College Five (Porter College), where he was acting provost at the time of the interview conducted by Randall Jarrell in 1976. Von der Muhll earned a BA from Oberlin College; MSc from the London School of Economics, and a PhD from Harvard University. He retired in 1994. Von der Muhll shares his thoughts, not only on the Christensen UC Santa Cruz in the Mid-1970s: a Time of Transition, Volume II page 3 administration, but also on the reaggregation and reorganization programs of the late 1970s, in which he played a central role. He also contemplates UC Santa Cruz as an experiment in public higher education, from the perspective of fifty years after the campus was founded. For reasons of chronology and length, we decided to dedicate this entire volume to Von Der Muhll’s interview. A third oral history volume, Daniel H. McFadden: The Chancellor Mark Christensen Era at UC Santa Cruz, 1974-1976, also originally part of this series was published in 2012 and is available on the Regional History website. Special thanks to my predecessor Randall Jarrell, for having the prescience to conduct these oral histories early in her own career, and to Professor Michael Cowan, who generously shared his memories and insights into this chapter of UCSC’s history and who assisted with the many logistical and editorial challenges I faced in completing this project. Thanks also to Mim Eisenberg, for transcribing this interview. Copies of this volume are on deposit in Special Collections and in the circulating stacks at the UCSC Library, as well as on the library’s website. The Regional History Project is supported administratively by Elisabeth Remak-Honnef, Head of Special Collections and Archives, and University Librarian, Elizabeth Cowell. —Irene Reti, Director Regional History Project, University Library University of California, Santa Cruz, March 2015 UC Santa Cruz in the Mid-1970s: a Time of Transition, Volume II page 4 UC Santa Cruz in the Mid-1970s: a Time of Transition, Volume II page 5 Coming to UC Santa Cruz Jarrell: When did you come to UCSC? Von der Muhll: I came in the summer of 1969. I was a faculty member at the University of Chicago, but I had spent two years in Africa [instead of on campus], and after that my wife could not stand living in a city like Chicago, which we had not lived in before going to Africa. We came out to California in the summer of 1968. She fell in love with the place and really so did I. So I was happy when I was offered a chance to come here, and I did in June of 1969. Jarrell: Your background was in political science? Von der Muhll: Yes, that’s right. Jarrell: And then you were appointed to UCSC in 1969? Von der Muhll: Well, I was interviewed in the spring and my appointment came through in late spring. So I taught summer school here and then entered the fall quarter as a regular teacher. Jarrell: And having been affiliated with more conventional or traditional institutions, what did you expect here in terms of being a faculty member? Had you heard about the college system or the experimental nature of this campus? Von der Muhll: Oh, yes. I thought about it quite a bit. In fact, I’ve never come so deliberately to any institution in my life. I did some teaching at Harvard. I taught undergraduates at Swarthmore College, which was very rigorous, though not UC Santa Cruz in the Mid-1970s: a Time of Transition, Volume II page 6 quite conventional; it had a demanding honors program that was very special. And then I taught in both the graduate political science department and the undergraduate college of the University of Chicago and in Africa also. I’m not sure you would call Makere University in Uganda a conventional university but it had a conventional curriculum. Likewise, Haile Selassie University in Ethiopia. So I’d had a fair range of experiences with undergraduates and graduate schools. One of the things I learned at Chicago was that a graduate school could be a great asset. I missed it a bit at Swarthmore. But, on the other hand, it was not essential for a first-rate, challenging undergraduate program. This campus, which did not have a graduate school at the time, but which probably would have one [later], seemed to me a good compromise.

View 1 comment. Townshend's style of guitar playing vastly influenced mine as I developed it as well. He claims to have accidentally gone to a child porn web page as part of his ongoing "campaign" against child sex abuse, but never mentions any such campaign before this; in fact, I found nothing online about him being involved in the issue at all prior to the charge. The material on the inner workings of The Who, how these four personalities meshed, and often clashed, is generous and fascinating. But it was too late, because I was already transported by it. He does say he regrets having continued the tour and playing the Pete Townshend: Who I am next night.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Meher Baba, and the Post-Psychedelic Spirituality of Pete Townshend Holland Hall University of Florida April 1, 2016
    The Pinball Wizard and the Miracle Cure: Reflections on Tommy (1969), Meher Baba, and the Post-Psychedelic Spirituality of Pete Townshend Holland Hall University of Florida April 1, 2016 ii Abstract This project utilizes The Who’s rock opera Tommy (1969) to illustrate the ways in which spiritual seekers navigated the psychedelic era of the late 1960s. Tommy tells the narrative of a “deaf, dumb, and blind” boy’s spiritual journey, which is a semi- biographical account of the group’s primary songwriter, Pete Townshend. By portraying the history of post-psychedelic religious movements through Townshend’s own involvement with the spiritual master Meher Baba, I demonstrate that countercultural members did not use psychedelic drugs merely for recreational purposes. Rather, this project illuminates how some countercultural members who experimented with psychedelic drugs sought to expand their spiritual perception—oftentimes with promising results. Although psychedelic drugs opened a door to a richer spiritual experience for many, they typically failed to provide a permanent pathway to enlightenment. This essay focuses on the narrative of Tommy to show how Westerners began exploring Indian religious practices as an alternative for their psychedelic experiences. iii Table of Contents A Dedication: Dear Prudence……………………………………………………………. i Prelude: A Weekend at the Meher Spiritual Center, 2015………………………………. ii Introduction: Historiography of Music and Indian Spirituality; Music Criticism and Musicological Evaluations of Tommy…………………………………..… 1 Chapter 1: Tommy as the “Normal Post-War Child”: Navigating the Aftermath of World War II and the Psychedelic Era…………………………………...……..... 7 Chapter 2: Rejecting the Psychedelic (and Christian) Gospel: Western Responses to South Asian Religious Movements…………………………….………... 20 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………… 29 List of Figures…………………………………………………………………………..
