...course at U.C.L.A. called "Racial Attitudes in America," taught by Gary B. Nash. The course examines American racial thinking from the first English contacts with Africans and Indians in the 16th century. It also includes an inquiry into the Kerner commission report and a reading list that includes Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice, Gordon W. Allport's Nature of Prejudice and John Dollard's Caste and Class in a Southern Town...
...respond to minority needs instead of just the agricultural and business needs if it is going to be moral." Says David Kemnitzer, a 22-year-old anthropology student at Berkeley: "The university should be examining this society and constructing alternative societies. It should be enshrining Black Panther Spokesman Eldridge Cleaver and [Herbert] Marcuse. It should provide an environment where people can become loving, intelligent and sentient beings.

...more surprising source of opposition, however, came from Charles Hitch, the president of the UC system. Even though he had backed some of Reagan's moves during the Cleaver turmoil, Hitch came out flatly against Pauley and gave a list of practical objections. Long before the New York Times pointed out the trend last month, Hitch and his chancellors had watched with anguish as professors fled the increasingly-restrictive UC climate for Harvard and the East. If Pauley's plan were adopted, Hitch said, the University would have a hard time holding any of its faculty. Another administrator said that...
