...University of California system forced out the management of the Daily Californian at Berkeley after the paper editorially endorsed a "re-opening" of People's Park in Berkeley (the re-opening turned into a small riot). After installing a new editor-in-chief, the university gave the paper a choice: accept a faculty advisor or move off campus. It was no choice: after an uphill fight, the paper became financially and editorially independent of the school...
...would become. At several major universities--Berkeley, the University of Texas, the University of Florida--and at countless smaller institutions, regents have imposed strict censorship over college newspapers, using financial control of the papers' operations to exact editorial compromises. At Berkeley, the California regents cracked down when The Daily Californian endorsed a political rally which evolved into a small-scale riot; at Texas, the regents--who had never been fond of The Daily Texan's antiwar editorials--tightened the purse-strings when the paper exposed a misappropriation of $600,000 by the regents; at Florida, The Daily Alligator found...
Fighting the new coastal requirements will be more difficult, though one Californian is making a spectacular try in court. Rudolph Esau, a partner in the Santa Barbara chrysanthemum-growing firm of Marina Mums Inc., explains that his plans to build greenhouses on his shoreline property are stymied by the new rules.

I am speaking of course of Maynard Amerine of the University of California at Davis...
...failed to qualify for the final because of a leg injury. Seagren had his problems even without Isakkson's competition. His and his teammates' new poles were confiscated the night before the trials started on the grounds that they were too sophisticated for Olympic competition. Thus the handsome young Californian had to qualify with a pole he had previously abandoned. In other track and field events, the U.S. will be below its traditional Olympic strength. America has the weakest women's track team since before World War II, and the quadrennial Yankee domination of the dashes, high and long jumps...
