The University's Ban The following question and answer
session
took place on the afternoon of September 23. I (the edit or)
vias asking que s ti ons of Mrs. Le one H. \ieaver, administrative
assistant to Dean Tovlle, who was speaking as a representative for
her. The purpose of the discussion was to clarify the un-ierlying
philosophy and basisfor the enforcement of the Regents' policy on
the use of Bancroft and
Te.Legraph strip under University contro.L as of September
21.
\fuy vias the implementation made? The origi-nal Regents' policy
was made in order to pre-serve the freedom of the 1J,ni versi ty to
act as an academic institution in its OHn ri ght, and (further) to
lreep political action off campus.
The implementation of the ruling is n01. be-ing enforced in a
(geographical) area where it WaS previously ign-ored.
Why was it not enforced previously? I don't know "lhy it was not
enforced. They didn't want us to. Who are they? The Regents.
THE COMPLAINTS Were there complaints about the area? Yes.
BY whom? There were a number of complaints from students,
faculty, and employees ",ho found it hard to get through these -
the aasses at noon; they reported that they had to go around to
Barro"ls Lane (behind Sproul Hall - editor).
What has been"the growinR; misuse of the ar-ea"- that is the
charge that the tables and placards are blocking uedestrian
traffic? The posting of signs and the passing out of leaflets
'-lere responsible for creating congestion. Vie (the Dean's Office)
attempted to limit the si~nsto keep them off posts but permit them
on tables to say ,.,rho they are (the groups at the tables).
In using the area, probably a fe", of the groups did not
cooperate in this (i.e., they left their signs on the posts
unattended th ough repeatedly Harned not to allow this activity to
reoccuU. If they had cooperated, I can't say ;-lhat the difference
would have been.
Who received the complaints? Calls and let-ters vlere rece i ved
by both the Dean of Students, and ether ofTices. How ";ere the
complaints handled? The Chance.L.Lor ae.Legates power to the Dean
of Students to authorize various activities for students and
student organizations; He are of-ten asked to handle matters
regarding the use of the University. If we see something on our
own, we make an effor t to get the cooperat-ion of the violat ors
.

• a study in depth The follm·ling questions '.-rere asked of
Jackie
Goldberg, spokesman for the protesting Groups, in an effort to
determine its pOBition on the issues as seen from the ~roup's point
of view.
Question(hereafter Q.) l'rl1D. t have been the most significant
happenings since the protest began?
3001 at Sproul Hall ViSil The most significant event occured
Wednes-
day. niGht ,-lhen O'ler 300 people shmfed UP at the viS~l on the
steps of Sproul Hall. 100 - demon-strators still remained at 3::30
a.m. the follow-ing morning .

PERIUTS ISSUED BY THE BERKELEY POLICE
\illat ,·ras the basis for having the briclr ~ under the
lurisdiction of the city - vlith
the police controlling the issuance of permits for tables and
for meetings? Tables did not have to have them (permits) on
University prop-erty; the city sidewalk has been and is under the
jurisdiction of the city.
New permits issued by the Dean's Office Unde£' the new system,
the table permit comes
from the Dean of Students" office. Groups will not be permitted
to undertake commercial activ-ities or to advocate political
action. There are 5 spaces for University-approved tables -one in
front of each of the concrete nillars and one on the east side in
front of and para-llel to the concrete wall. No tables shall be
placed in front of the loclred entrance posts. This arrangement is
being operated on a trial basis.
!-IORE OR LESS CONGESTION NOI'!? At this poin~indicated to the
Dean "s rep-
resentative the position of the tables author-ized by the
University and the position of those authorized by the city of
Berkeley (See Diagram page 2). I asked if this arrangement would
not create more congestion rather than less in the area. Again she
replied"this a:rrangement is be-ing operated on a trial basis."
A WAY OF ::JEALJ:W. VlI'T'H CONGESTIoN? vlas the ~nforcement .
of the Re~:t_~~oli_cy
PARTISAN INFORHATION l·~f,TERIAL Can you hive also an example of
nartisan infor-mation? Information about a political candidate, his
life story - even his Senate voting record? yes, certainly •
Information about CO?.E "s ncti v-ities - its particination in
shon-ins and sit-ins? these .rould be fine. Also any reliGious
group may hand out informative and descriptive litera-tur~.
PROPOSITION 14 Could you give also another example using,
Prop-
osition l4? The Students for Fair HousinG c roup can distribute
any literature as long as they do not advocate in it a vote on the
proposal.

The Student activities Facilities increased by ~28 . 53 fOl' the

ts which made the continuE.nce of a loan imora ctical. The In-t

YOUNG DEMOCRATS PRESIDENT CALLS FOR MORE WORK
Josiah Beeman, State President of the Young Democrats, said to
the opening meeting of the university Young Democrats that "The
chances of Goldwater winning, and the chances of Proposition 14
passing are apalling. If Johnson is to wi~. and if we are to defeat
the insidious segre-gation amendment, Young Democrats must work
harder in this campaign than they have ever worked before."
Beeman's speech highlighted the most suc-cessful meetings of UYD
in years. OVer 70 new members had signed up by the end of the day,
and there ,,,as a standing-roam-only crowd.
Alan Bergman, UYD Political Action Chief, stated that enough
people had signed up for precinct work to enable the club to start
on that activity very soon. In addition, the club expects to have
enough people to send to local headquarters on a regular basis.
UYD spokesman, President Jerry Fishkin, said that everyone
wanted to work. "We got a lot of committees filled. Some of the
less popular committees were signed up for with a minimum of
pushing. Not only will vre be able to fulfil our political action
commitments, but we will be able to function efficiently in our
administrative matters as well. Our membership is nearly double
that of last year. ~ie should soon go over the 200-member mark we
set as our goal."
Further information may be obtained by calling Fishkin at TH
3-3274, or Bergman at TH 8-1030.
