...every bad trip in San Francisco takes place in the Haight-Ashbury district. Many straight commuters endure hazardous journeys daily as they try to maneuver through stationary streams of traffic heading for Oakland, Berkeley, Sausalito or suburbs beyond. Unique in many other respects, the San Francisco Bay Area suffers from the prevalent urban malady of too many automobiles, too few highway lanes. But unlike many other metropolitan areas, San Francisco and two neighboring counties are creating an attractive alternative to clogged highways...
...hired to teach, not to run universities. Equally self-centered are some professors who do get involved, supporting whatever students demand as a way of enhancing their own popularity. Sometimes professors are even too passive to protect their own interests. Last week, for example, the academic senate at Berkeley met to vote on a resolution branding as "unnecessary, illegitimate and dangerous" a move by the University of California regents to review all tenure appointments. The resolution was approved unanimously-by the 75 faculty members out of 1,000 who bothered to show...

Steve Kaplan '68 treats "boy meets girls" scenes à la Stanley Kramer, DeMille, Bergman, and Busby Berkelye. The Berkeley pair (Sally and Dan) dance into the sunset doing something called The Balumbo, containing for my money at least one great quatrain...

The director of the office of Behavioral Research of the Air Force subsequently approached me in my then capacity as Director of the Institute of International Studies at Berkeley, together with the Director of the Survey Research Center at Berkeley, with the offer to give the two research centers a so-called research feasibility grant, to stimulate comparative studies on problems of development. His research office exists to support unclassified basic research in the social sciences. We accepted this...
...should also note that neither I, Berkeley, nor the granting agency has ever been concerned with the political orientation or design of the projects. One faculty recipient of these funds has been a major New Left critic of American foreign policy in the Far East. Most of the graduate students supported by the grant who have studied students have been grant advocates of student activism. At least one recipient was a major leader of student protest in this country. It is curious that the CRIMSON and other critics of the role of government funds never mention left-wing supporters...
