2. Possible Questions
3. Chronology of Disruptive Events
4. Cow Palace Remarks (May 12, 1966)
5. Three Campaign Position Papers
6. Statements by the Governor regarding campus activities
Last night the Berkeley campus of the University of California
hosted a rally in support of the Viet Cong.
Once again an atmosphere was provided on the Berkeley Campus
which was conducive to violence. Once again within this atmosphere
violence occurred. This time someone has been shot.
It is reassuring that some members of the Berkeley faculty rose
to challenge the Berkeley administration which gave its approval to
this event. It is interesting to learn that the administration
negotiated some adjustments in allowing the program. But they did not
change the purpose of the meeting. By now the people of the state are
fully aware that window dressing at Berkeley is no substitute for
morality, or for responsibility. And the people demand something better
It is they who established the University; it is they who generously
support it, and it is they whose children attend it.
We have been patient in view of changes in the administration
of the University. We had hoped for better, we have been given worse.
As Governor, as a Regent of the University of California, as a
concerned and alarmed citizen I must demand that the University
administration and the Board of Regents take whatever action is required
to stop the use of University facilities for political purposes. It is
time for the University of California to return to its function of
providing an education for our young, people.
Additionally, on behalf of the people of California, I request
that the Regents of the U of C conduct an immediate, thorough and
promot investigation of the conditions on the campuses of the U of C
and particularly of the conditions on the Berkeley campus which allow
an atmosphere of violence to be created and to persist. I ask an
explanation for the causes of the weakness in administrative
officials, and I ask for a correction of these causes.
If the Regents who hold the University in public truse fail to
return the University to its rightful function, then they must be
prepared to see public support withdrawn and our once great
university system destroyed by inaction and irresponsibility.
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:
1. Is this a note of "no confidence" for President Hitch? Does
this mean you would be in favor of looking for a new President?
2. How long will the investigation take, and have you given them
a deadline?
3. Who is ultimately, in your opinion, responsible? Chancellor?
President? Board of Regents?
4. Will this incident have any effect on the University's budget?
5. Were the participants in this violence students or non-students?
6. Does this kind of activity on our campuses mean that the
multi-versity concept will not work, and that the University
of California will have to be decentralized?

EXCERPTS FROM RONALD REAGAN SPEECH AT COW PALACE
May 12
"There is a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap in Sacramento.
And there is no better illustration of that than what has been perpetrated
on the Berkeley campus at the University of California at Berkeley, where
a small minority of beatniks, radicals and filthy speech advocates have
brought such shame to, and such a loss of confidence in, a great- University
that applications for enrollment were down 21% this year and are expected
to decline even further next year.
"You have read about the report of the Senate Subcommittee on Un-American
Activities its charges that the campus has become a rallying point for
Communists and a center of sexual misconduct.
"Now, I have not seen that report--it has not yet been made public--but
I do have information that verifies at least part of that report. The
incidents in this report are so bad, 20 contrary to our standards of
decent human behavior, I cannot recite them to you in detail.
"But there is clear evidence of the sort of things that should not be
permitted on a Unversity campus.
"The reporttells us that many of those attending were clearly of high
school age. The hall was entirely dark except for the light from two
movie screens. On these screens the nude torsos of non and women were
portrayed, from time to time, in suggestive positions and movements.
"Three rock and roll bands played simultaneously. The smell of murijuana
was thick throughout the hall. There were signs that some of blide present
had taken dope. There were indications of other happenings that cremot
be mentioned here.
"How could this happen on the campus of a great University? It happened
because those responsible abdicated their responsibilities.
"The dance was only called to a halt when janitors finally cut off the
power in the gymnasium forcing those attending to leave.
"And this certainly is not the only sign of a leadership gap on the
campus.
"It began a year ago when so-called 'free speech advocates', who in
truth have no appreciation of freedom, were allowed to assault and
humiliate an-officer of the law. This was the moment when the ring-
leaders should have been taken by the scruff of the neck and thrown off
the campus permanently.
"It continued through the filthy speech movement, through activities of
the Vietnam Day Committee and this has been allowed to go on in the name
of academic freedom.
"What in heaven's name does 'academic freedom' have to do with rioting,
with anarchy, with attempts to destroy the primary purpose of the University
which is to educate our young people?
"This is why I know there must be some substance to the Committee's
report. This is why I am also convinced that just the issuance of that
report is not enough, not enough for the people of California and not
enough for those involved.
"The charges made by the Committee are the results of private investiga-
tions. They must now be brought out in public hearings at which those
involved must be forced to testify.
"Otherwise there is a real danger that the charges will be swept under
the rug.
"These charges must neither be swept under the rug by a timid administra-
tion or by public apologists for the University. The public has a right
to know from open hearings whether the situation is as the report says.
COW PALACE SPEECH PAGE 3.
"The citizens who pay the taxes that support the University also have a
right to know that, if the situation is as the report says, that those
responsible will be fired, that the University will be cleaned up and
restored to its position as a major institution of learning and research.
"The Governor has abdicated his responsibility in this area. His only
answer has been to ask the Board Regents to investigate. This is a straight
cover-up. What kind of political nonsense is it to ask the Board of
Regents to investigate a situation in which it may be involved?
"For this reason, I today have called on the State Legislature to hold
public hearings into the charges of Communism and blatant sexual mis-
conduct on the campus. I have sent personal wires to Senator Hugh Burns,
the President Pro Tem of the Senate, and to Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh,
urging that they hold joint public hearings.
"Only in this way can we get at the facts. Only this way can we find out
who is responsible for the degradation of a great University.
"Only in this way can we determine what steps must be taken to restore the
University to its position, steps that might go even beyond what I have
already suggested.
"Yes, there are things that can be done at the University even if a
hearing is never held. This;administration could make changes. It could
demand that the faculty jurisdictions be limited to academic matters.
It could demand that the administrators be told that it is your job to
administer the University properly and if you don't, we will find someone
who will.
"The faculty could also be given a code of conduct that would force them
to serve as examples of good behavior and decency for the young people
in their charge.
COW PALACE SPEECH PAGE 4.
"When those who advocate an open mind keep it open at both ends with no
thought process in the middle, the open mind becomes a hose for any idea
that comes along. If scholars are to be recognized as having a right to
press their particular value judgements, perhaps the time has come also
for institutions of higher learning to assert themselves as positive
forces in the battles for men's minds.
"This could mean they would insist upon mature, responsible conduct and
respect for the individual from their faculty members and might even
call on them to be proponents of those ethical and moral standards
demanded by the great majority of our society.
"These things could be done and should be done. The people hot only have
a right to know what is going on at their universities, they have a right
to expect the best from those responsible for it."
Ronal Reagan
SPEAKS OUT ON THE ISSUES
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
Nothing exposes the "leadership gap" in Sacramento more glaringly than recent
events that have taken place on campuses of some of our California universities.
In preserving academic freedom, we must preserve the right to learn as well as to
teach. We must make sure the principal purpose of our universities is served; namely,
to provide an education for the thousands of young men and women who go there for
that purpose.
Faculty, from teaching assistants to professors, must be ever aware of a respon-
sibility that goes beyond teaching a subject in the classroom. Members of the faculty
must set examples in and out of the classroom of adult behavior, decent conduct and
good citizenship for the young people in their charge.
Preservation of free speech does not justify letting beatniks, and advocates
of sexual orgies, drug usage and "filthy speech" disrupt the academic community and inter-
fere with our universities purpose. No one would deny that free speech includes the
right to criticize every aspect of national policy, but when some Americans are fight-
ing and iying for their country, free speech must stop short of lending comfort and
aid to the enemy.
As Governor, I would consider it C.J respensibility to take the lead in returning
our universities to their original purpose as institutions of learning and research,
and restoring to them the respect they deservé and which has been lost through indif-
ference and lack of leadership.

SPEAKS OUT ON THE ISSUES
CRIME
California, with 9% of the nation's population, has 17% of the nation's
crime. It costs the average family of four a minimum of $1,000.00 a year.
Our skyrocketing crime rate dates from certain judicial rulings that
took much of the law inforcement authority away from local police and left
them handicapped in their efforts to protect the law-abiding citizen from
the increasingly insolent criminal element.
As Governor, I will:
1. Take positive action to restore to the cities and counties their
rights to enact local ordinances designed to meet local law
enforcement problems.
2. Support and work for a plan to take the appointment of judges
out of politics.
3. Call on the legislature to re-enact those key crime prevention
bills passed overwhelmingly by the legislature at its last session
but vetoed by the Governor. When re-enacted, I will sign these
measures into law.
4. Ask legislative support in an effort to end the growing flood of
smut and pornography aimed primarily at degrading our young
people.
5. Recommend legislation aimed at curbing the growing use of
narcotics, hallucinatory drugs and pep pills, especially in
schools and on campuses.
It will be my purpose to see that California's streets and neighbor-
hoods become safe again.

SPEAKS OUT ON THE ISSUES
EDUCATION
Education is the bulwark of freedom. Removed too far from parental in-
fluence, it can become the tool of tyranny. Local control of education is basic
to the traditions of America. Only with local control can Americans be assured
that their children will receive the finest education possible, with safeguards
against ideological or political indoctrination.
Financial support of our state's school system was once overly divided
between the local communities and the state. Today, the state's share has fallen
to 35 per cent.
As Governor, I will:
1. Work to increase the state's contributions to local school districts,'
to relieve the growing burden on local property taxpayers.
2.
Seek appropriate ways to help local school districts attract and
keep good teachers.
3.
Call for legislation to put unification of local school districts
on a voluntary--not compulsory--basis.
4.
Work to assure the teaching profession a position of dignity and
respect, and to restore to our educational system the teaching of
the traditional concepts of individual responsibility and good
citizenship.
5. Explore every modern technique and technology in education that
could lead to giving the taxpayer more for his educational dollar.
With such a program and plan of action we can work toward the creative
educational system that Californians need and deserve.

no society can long have freedom without law and order. This is true
whether we are talking about our homes, our campuses or our city
streets: The breakdown of law and order can only lead to chaos and
anarchy and--eventually--to tyranny.
Every law-abiding citizen has the right to expect his government
will insure the safety of his person.
Every parent has the right to expect government to protect his
children from those who deal in drugs and profit from pornography.
Every homeowner and every businessman has the right to expect
his government to protect his property against the criminal, the
arsonist, the rioter and the looter.
I view with respect the responsible efforts of most of our
teachers whose personal and professional values require them to pur-
sue the truth wherever it may lead. They are not like the few who,
in the cloak of a distortion of the meaning of academic freedom, use
the classroom and the campus for the advancement of their own self-
interest. It seems little to ask that the great majority remind their
erring colleagues of the meaning of and the reason for professional
ethics, especially when dealing with the youth of a democratic society
Our colleges and universities were created--and are tax-
supported--as centers of education--not staging areas for insurrection.
As I said in January of 1967, I say again in January of 1968; obey the
rules, or get out.
Already we are drawing up legislation which will deal with the
campus disorder--including trespass legislation to keep the disrup-
tive non-student and the trouble-makers from interfering with the
orderly process of education.
In addition, we are calling a meeting of college and university
officials and local law enforcement officers to develop better ways
to work together during times of emergency--and to prevent emergencies
from arising.
We will continue to seek laws to protect our young people from
pornography. A series of decisions by the United States Supreme
Court in recent years has established guidelines for regulating
obscenity; we will ask for measures to stiffen California laws in this
regard, while keeping within those guidelines and avoiding any taint
of censorship.
Together with the attorney general we will ask legislation to
strengthen our fight against organized crime, against the professional
criminal and the narcotics peddler. This will include the right of GITT
law officers to use electronic surveiliance equipment under the proper

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN SENT TO THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND THE STATE COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES BY GOVERNOR
RONALD REAGAN:
During recent weeks several campuses of the University of
California and the State College System have been the scene of
incidents of violence and disorder, which have resulted in personal
injury, property damage, and disruption of educational activities.
This situation has become so serious that it requires
immediate action by the governing bodies of these institutions to
ensure that the academic work of our higher education centers can
continue, and SO that the studies and research of thousands of
law-abiding students and faculty members will not continue to
be interrupted.
I am therefore requesting that the Regents and the Board of
Trustees take immediate action to establish clear guidelines for
the administrators of each campus within their jurisdiction, SO
that law and order can be preserved. These guidelines should
include the following principles:
1). Acts of violence, vandalism, and disturbing the
peace, which are not tolerated anywhere else in the community, will
not be tolerated on our campuses.
2). Local police agencies have jurisdiction over university
and college facilities, which are part of the city and county in
which they are located. Where university or state college police
forces are organized on the campus, their jurisdiction is concurrent
with that of the local police, and when the campus police resources
are insufficient to prevent and/or control criminal activity of any
sort, the local police should be immediately called in.
3). When criminal activity occurs on the campus, administry
tors, faculty members, and students have a responsibility to notify
the police (as does any other citizen) to coordinate with the
police in their handling of the situation, and to serve as a withins
in court, if necessary.
4). Campus administrators shall give full cooperat
police agencies in maintaining liaison and coordination for
prevention of criminal activit, and law violations when tt
To establish such clear procedures, I am requesting that the
Board of Trustees of the State Colleges and the Board of Regents
of the University of California, act immediately, by special meetings
if necessary.
Students, faculty, and the public must be assured that all
steps are being taken to restore order and to permit the educational
work of our universities and colleges to continue undisturbed by
violence and unlawful conduct.
We must restore confidence in the ability of our educational
institutions to maintain the same standards of conduct which apply
to the rest of society and to eliminate disorderly interference
with academic pursuits.

Sacrar ento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today issued the following state-
ment concerning rioting on the campus of San Jose State College.
"`ly office has been called today by San Jose State faculty
members and disturbed public officials regarding the rioting at
San J.J. e State College and an apparent growing disregard for law
and order on that campus.
"I have no sympathy for those who would use riots and violence
to press their views on others and who refuse to grant to others the
same rights of freedom of speech and dissent they insist on for
themselves.
"What has happened today at San Jose State is inexcusable. Once
it has been established who is to blame, those persons must be
punished. If college students are involved in these criminal vio-
lations they should be severly disciplined and subject to expulsion.
If it is established that faculty members participated in or
encouraged such activity, they have forfeited their right to teach.
"To advocate firm action is not political interference in our
higher education system. Such action is necessary to preserve that
system.
"I said once before, and it is still true, somebody has to speak
for the 20 million decent, law-abiding citizens of California. Some-
body also has to speak for the overwhelming majority of college
students who are working hard to obtain an education and who have
a right to study, undisturbed by frequent disruptions and disorders.
"It is time that those the people have elected, and those they
have selected to run their public institutions put an end to such
irresponsible actions.
"If we don't, the people will find someone who will."

Sacramento--Gov. Ronald Reagan today issued a statement regard-
ing plans to use the University of California for a staging area for
a mass protest at the Oakland induction center Tuesday. Those
organizing the protest have indicated there will be deliberate law
violations. The statement is as follows:
"I have received considerable information in the last few days
that University of California facilities are to be used as a staging
ground for an effort to disrupt the Oakland armed services induction
center.
"I am told that the effort, which is part of 'Anti-Vietnam War
Week' activities, is planned to include mass disorder and criminal
law violations. The announced objective is to disrupt the operations
of the induction center, stop buses loaded with draftees, and actively
resist police efforts to maintain law and order.
"This type of activity is totally foreign to our way of life
and creates an intolerable situation.
"To make it worse I am told that in some institutions professors
are planning to devote class time to stimulate this kind of activity.
"Such action on the part of professors and instructors is a
perversion of the function of our universities and colleges and is
a flagrant violation of academic freedom.
"It turns colleges and universities which are dedicated to
educational objectives, many of them supported at public expense,
into centers for political indoctrination and the organization of
illegal activities.
"I would hope that all college and university administrators
and faculty members will maintain their academic integrity and
sense of responsibility by refusing to participate in these attacks
on the basic fabric of our social structure."

TRESS CONFERENCE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN
HELD DECEMBER 12, 1967
haven it seen what they did with it in the end, whether he
made this clain or not, he in effect did the same thing and
accused me of this when I've been protesting that no matter
what the class you couldn't keep the conversation more than
five minutes at a time away from Vietnam before the students
brought it back to this. This is very much on thei r minds,
and when he - - this young man who had been present in some
of those classes, sort of implied in front of what was to
be a television audience that I had volunteered this again,
I thought that I ought to bring him back to what the proper
ratio was because at no time did I volunteer to talk on
Vietnam at Yale.
D
Governor, there is a possible sit-in or mill-in
scheduled today in President Summerskill's office in San
Francisco State. If this should happen what do you think
President Summerskill should do?
A
Well, I think he should take whatever action is
-2-
necessary to maintain law and order and to keep them from
interfering with the orderly processes of the college.
As
a matter of fact, a couple of hundred students have entered
the administration building already, and we are keeping in
close touch as to what's going on there.
Q
Governor, do you think that -- when you say he
should take whatever steps are necessary, what does this mean
in your mind, exactly?
A
Well, I mean that whatever action is necessary
on the part of the authorities, whether this requires calling
in outside police or whether it can be handled by the admini-
strators. No small group of students in a campus of 19,000
should be allowed, for example, to stop the business that
takes place in the administration building. I do not
believe in closing down the administration of the University
or College, rather than ejecting those students that are
interfering with that orderly process and if it calls for
ejecting, they should be ejected.
Q
Doesn't that mean the use of outside force in
this case?
A
If the campus authorities aren't capable of it,
yes.
Q
Governor, who should call in that outside help?
A
President Summerskill, no quarrel about that,
nor was there any at the Trustee's meeting. There was no
quarrel with the fact that this was his responsibility and
he had observed that in the last session over there.
Q
Governor, there is serious talk of a faculty strike
at S.F. State possibly even on Thursday: Will you tolerate
such a situation?
A
It isn't a case of whether I tolerate it or not.
I think you gentlemen all know that in this State more than
in any other State that I know of, there are great restric-
tions as to what the governmental authorities can do.
We have gone a long way toward trying to preserve and main-
tain academic freedom and autonomy on the campuses. I am
a member of the Board of Trustees. I could treat as an
individual. I do think, however, that under certain
-3-
circumstances, there is state property involved and I would
then have to face up to what is my responsibility to the
taxpayers of this State with regard to the protection of --
of this state property.
a
Governor, there is a report today that new violent
demonstration is planned for the campus on Thursday.
In
view of the San Francisco Police Department's reluctance to
participate in last week's demonstration, do you think the
State should take that matter into hand?
A
No, no, as I have just -- I think I just answered
that, that there's never been any intention on our part to
do this, and I think that if all of you had been present
at the Trustee's meeting, you would have recognized. that
while there was a great surprise on the part of some trustees
at how far the college and university policy had gone in
invoking -- well, or I should say not only in calling in
the police, but then being the ones to decide whether the
police should take action. There was no criticism of
President Summerskill on the fact that he had taken the
advice of the police and in the last week's episode the
police had recommended against taking such action or bring-
ing on large forces of uniformed police. And there was
no criticism. There was a feeling, however, on the part
of the trustees, which they expressed, that once the police
have been called in, we are going to have to review and
make it plain that the police then should have the authority
when they believe that things are getting out of hand and
that the law is being broken, that they are the ones who
should make the decision that it is now their jurisdiction
and they move. It is a little -- as a matter of fact,
to those of you who weren't there, there was a kind of
humorous incident in which the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees asked a policeman on duty at the door there if
there was a disturbance in the room, "Could you make the
arrest or would I have to ask you to." And the Policeman
said, "You'd have to ask me to."
And everyone was a little
worried and starting thinking we ought to search the visitors
for weapons and I asked the Policeman then a second question.
I said, "Well, now wait a minute, that's just a disturbance.
What if in this room someone attacked another individual
with a weapon. 11 The Policeman said, "I'd make the arrest."
Without waiting for someone to tell him to. Well, this is
something of what we are asking in the campus. It is one
thing for the administration to call in the police with the
thought that perhaps there is going to be violence and some
trouble or law-breaking. Then it is another thing for the
University or the College to still reserve the right as
to when to order the police to take action. Once they are
on the scene, it would seem to me that the police, as they
could any place else, have the authority to take action if
the law is being broken.
Q
You think there should be legislation to clarify
this, Governor?
A
I don't think legislation is needed there. I'll
tell you what I think part of this is about. I think part
of this is because in times past there have been too many
incidents where the police have been called in and when the
police set out to do their duty as they saw it, they weren't
backed up by the college or the university authorities. In
all too many instances they were criticized and later some
administrators tried to get themselves off the hook by
saying there wouldn't have been any trouble if the police
hadn't acted.
And I think the police very justifiably have kind
of taken an attitude, well, if that's the way it is going to
be, tell us when you want us.
2
Governor, in your opinion did President Summerskill
act properly in last week's demonstration?
A
Yes, I think he did. Yes, there was -- the
testimony here by Chief Cahill and the police was to the
effect that there were SO many hundreds or thousands of
students gathered around not involved and who were beginning
to disperse that they believed that it was getting -- the
menace was getting less and not more.
-5-
- I
Let me expand that a little more then, in your
opinion has President Summerskill always acted properly in
problem areas of this type?
A
This is why the trustees felt that there should
be an investigation by the Committee that was named, an
investigation to find out why on this particular campus
there seems to have been so much more unrest over quite a
period. And so the investigation was not based on the
present or the last week's incident atwall, but was based
on what are the factors that have led to this on the campus.
Q
Would you be surprised by President Summerskill's
resignation, should it come?
A
I don't know, I've -- I have never met him. As
a matter of fact, I didn't even meet him in the meeting,
there was no opportunity to. I don't know how he feels
about this.
I do feel that the trustees were justified in
trying to get at the bottom and fix the responsibility for
the attitude that has prevailed on that campus.
Q
Governor, I wonder if you would clarify just a
little bit further this area of who should take the initiative
in calling the police. Are you saying perhaps that --
I'm talking about now the initial step, that perhaps the
college should not have the -- should not reserve the right
to take that initial step? In other words, should the
police observing the thing decide that, all right, it is
time to come in whether the college administrator thinks so
or not?
A
No, because then you envision the thing that you
couldn't have with the police sitting there watching the
campus day in and day out, and they have got other things to
do. I think the same as you in your home, if you had some
people in and a party got out of hand -- I know that wouldn't
ever happen to any of us in this room -- but if it should
happen, you'd call the police. And I think this right --
yes, the University should reserve the right, and as a matter
of fact, the practice of having the President or his
-6-
designate do it grew out of the fact that in some recent
riots or disturbances, demonstrations, I should say, in an
effort to provoke trouble, some of the demonstrators them-
selves put in literally false alarms, calls to the police,
hoping that the sudden arrival of police who had been given
a kind of distorted cry for help, would precipitat trouble.
So it was decided that through the administration would come
the call for the police when it looked like there might be
the possibility of trouble. That I favor. Our only
concern was should the non-police trained administrators
of an educational institution be given the responsibility
once the police are there as to say when to move or not to
move.
This is a matter for only police-trained people.
Q
Governor, can you say when some of these other
demonstrations where the college administrator's failed
to back up the police or failed to -- failed to hold what
they did?
A
I think you only have to check back over the last
few years and you'll find in your own press stories a number
of incidents where authorities on some campuses have claimed
that the disturbance arose because the police came in and
acted.
2
Governor, there's been -- on this topic there's
been some talk about perhaps the possibility of having a
stronger and more autonomous local campus police force,
might help correct these situations. Would you be in
favor of that?
A
Well, I think we ought to have whatever is nece--
ssary and I'm not sure that we have the best system now, but
again this was discussed at the Trustee's meeting. You
can't, number one, envision having a police force on the
campus year round, that is geared up to the size of a
possible emergency. That is pretty wasteful. And number
two, I think there must be a better solution to this than
to envision the campuses being armed camps, that you are
going to constantly have to control by force. This type
of disturbance. I say that we have got to get down back
-7-
down to the idea of getting rid of those who have made 1t
obvious that they are going to create trouble and force,
and it goes back to what I said a year ago, just about a
year ago now. Either they obey the rules or they get
their education some place else.
Q
Governor, on the advisability perhaps of this
prospect of the strike by the faculty, do you think it is
advisable for the faculty, if they think that the Board of
Trustee's have come out too strongly in favor of policing
the campus, do you feel that it is advisable for the faculty
to strike?
A
No, I don't. I don't believe in teachers striking.
I just plain don't. And I think the higher up you:get in
the educational scale the less admirable it becomes.
Q
What do you think the effect of such a strike
would be on San Francisco State?
A
I don't know. I'd have to see how many strike
and how many observed it and participated. I can't help
but believe that there, like on the other campuses, the
overwhelming majority of the faculty would be much opposed
to that sort of thing and I think we are hearing again from
a loud and dissident minority.
Q
Would you be in favor, Governor, for an automatic
firing for any teacher that did strike?
A
Well, it is never wise to say an automatic thing
of this kind because you are taking away any discretionary
powers of the administrators. I don't believe in that.
But I do say this, that I just -- I believe that this kind
of action is -- I believe, is they forfeited their rights to
consideration, or to teach. I think that someone who
actively leads-a faculty member who actively leads the
students in a violent demonstration, there is no reason why
the People of this State should continue to hire him to
instruct their youngsters on a college campus, or any place
else, for that matter.
Q
Governor, do you think President Summerskill
should take action against any group on campus, and I'm
-8-
speaking specifically of the Black Students Union.
A
I think you take action once there is due process,
established guilt that force has been used to interfere
with the orderly processes of providing an education.
Then
I think the administration should take action.
Q
Governor, do you think Speaker Unruh is too
hasty in one, calling for a legislative investigation, and
two, urging the dismissal of President Summerskill?
A
Well, he wasn't too hasty in calling a -- I'm
not going to criticize the Legislature, they represent the
People, and they felt an investigation was necessary; I
think this was a proper call. Perhaps the recommending
of punishment before the investigation was putting the verdict
a little ahead of the trial.
Mike, did you have your hand up?
MIKE: Yes, I'd like to change the subject, if
we could, Governor.
GOVERNOR REAGAN:
Change the subject.
Well,
there is one more
Q
Governor, would you favor changing the regulations
at the University of California regarding the disciplining of
students now to match what has happened at State Colleges
in view of the Trustee's action on Saturday?
They don't
quite match up.
A
You mean the action in changing the rules regarding
using force?
Q
No, regarding disciplining of students after they
have been involved in demonstrations.
A
As I recall, the only disciplining thing were
the change in the rules, the amendment to make -- once guilt
was established, after due process, to make mandatory either
suspension or dismissal. In other words, to fix the penalty
from suspension up to and including dismissal. I thought
this was a very wise change in the rules and I see nothing
wrong with it being invoked at the University level.
Q
Do you think the Board of Regents will accept this?
A
I have long since given up trying to anticipate

IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR REAGAN ON UC INQUIRY
During the recent campaign I said, and have since reiterated
my belief, that in order to restore confidence in the University of
California to the people of California an inquiry by a citizens'
committee was necessary.
I had asked John McCone to head such an inquiry.
I believed then, and I still believe, that such an inquiry
could be conducted without the danger of political interference.
Now, however, in view of the unrest at the University because
of requested budget cuts, the possibility of tuition, and the dis-
missal of Dr. Kerr, and because it would be unfair to ask a new
University president to take office in the midst of such an inquiry,
this inquiry will be postponed until such a time as these problems
have been resolved and a new president installed.
John McCone is in full agreement with this statement.
1.25.67/RR
the regents should follow the wishes of the people. If
they were to do this, wouldn't this indicate that they
are politically motivated?
P.C.2.14.67
A
No. Let me make one point here. I didn't say that
they should follow the wishes. I said they should consider
the wishes
CI
That they should consider the wishes of the people?
A
That's right. Now, I don't know whether I can
find the words to define this, and it isn't the easiest
line to draw, but when we talk about non-political inter-
ference with the University, in my mind, and I made this
point all through the campaign, I am unalterably opposed
to this, and in this way, in this sense, I believe that
you avoid any injection of the University or use of the
University into partisan politics, any attempt on the part
of one administration to get a university to support and
endorse the philosophy, political philosophy, of any one
in government,
But I don't believe that it can be considered
political interference to suggest that the people of this
State who put up the money for that University should not
be expected to roll over and play dead and have not even one
question permitted them as to whether the money they're
asked for should be given.
In other words, there are those in the academic
community who seem in this discussion to have made it plain
that their view is, that the people of California should
automatically hand the University whatever it asks for
without the right to even question and say, "Well, prove
to me that this spending is justified. is That isn't political
interference,

Governor, with regard to Saturday's demonstration,
Marshall Axelrod of the A.F.T. said the reason the crowd
acted so badly was because you greeted them with contempt;
that in fact you started your speech by saying, "Ladies and
gentlemen, if there are any here." Was that what you said?
A
Now you call for a confession, Marshall Avelrod
has again distorted, and I must say at the moment he is my

them?
(Laughter.)
P.C. 27.67
A
No. And I never intended that anyone in charge
of anyone should try to tell them they had to do it.
Now, I don't know where the situation lies with a prisoner
with regard to volunteering.
Q
Is a prisoner a State employee?
A
So if they want to take a day off, I'm quite sure
that that's not going to be reflected in books or the
balancing of the books there for the people of California.
They're there.
Q
Governor, regarding asking or not asking department
heads in advance concerning the days off, when you say you
just learned the Legislature was not going to meet Monday
when the general services administration knew it over two
weeks ago, does anyone in your department check on these
things beforehand?
A
All we know is what we've been told, the word
was told to me that that's traditional that they did work
on those two days. We just took that into consideration.
It didn't occur to us to say, "Are you going to change this"?
Q
Governor, if you don't keep any records on exactly
who does work on those days, how are you going to be able
to gauge how much work was done or accomplished?
A
Oh, we're just going to walk around and look at
all the happy, busy faces.
(Laughter.)
Q
Can I change the subject, Governor?
A
All right. Subject can be changed now; yes.
Q
Senator Burns had been critical of Dr. Clark Kerr
during the free speech movement for his failure to what he
called use facilities at the University to check out and
eliminate communist influences on the cempuses. Now that
Dr. Kerr has gone yet on the campus exists Bettina Aptheker
a member of the communist party who recently applied for
campus membership in the communist party. Shouldn't the
University move now to eliminate these communist influences
and to cancel her chapter application?
A
Well, once again you're involving me in a question
that I think properly belongs to the edministration of the
University and the Board of Regents. And once again I say
that while I believe there is an area where the Legislature
and the executive branch have a responsibility on behalf
of the people with regard to the University, I think you
have to negotiate in that gray area or decide where is the
dividing line that constitutes actual interference with
their task, and I don't believe that this is something that
should be imposed I have my own personal views. I
believe that in our country we have, in many instances, not
only here but in general, we have been a little unrealistic
in our attitude toward communism, which is avowedly an
enemy of our way of life and our system and advocates the
overthrow by force of our government.
But SO far this whole pattern of being a little
unrealistic about our own survival is something that I
have long thought we should look at. But I'm not going to
impose any rules or regulations on the University.
Q
Governor, do you approve the granting of a charter
to the communism forum et the University of California
personally, as Governor?
A
I personally?
2
Well, as Governor?
A
No, I wouldn't. I've been one who has thought for
a long time in that connection that it's a little
unrealistic to open the campus to communist speakers.
And now let me, having said that, let me make it
plain that I am not one who fears the ability of our young
people to hear communist speakers without being taken,
and I am not one who believes that you shouldn't hear all
sides of something. I just object -- I believe that free
speech does not require furnishing a podium for the
speaker. And I believe that students should hear various
views on all sides. I don't believe you should lend these
people the prestige of our University campuses for the
presentation of their views.
I'm heartily in favor of saying to a student,
"I know where there's a communist meeting. Go listen to
what those people are seying. But you don't have to invite
-5-
14
are all basically along the idea that roughly we
have got to effect this reduction in cost of govern-
ment and then we are almost certain to have to
explore taxes.
a
But, in the area of schools, the establish-
ment of tuition is the only thing really under dis-
cussion?
A
Yes, that's right.
a
Governor, how do you feel about being hung
in effigy at Fresno State?
A
I didn't know I would be so successful so
soon, Jim Rhodes of Ohio told me that they had run
out of rope in the hardware stores at the end of
the first six months. I sent him that clipping
yesterday. I told him that I just wanted him to know
that one of the freshmen is already on the way to
becoming a veteran. I thought it was rather interest-
ing that I didn't get hung in Berkeley.
CI
Speaking of Berkeley, Governor, there is a
proposal being put forth before the academic senate
today giving students wider control over their own
affairs and in particular over holding rallies
at noontime in Sproul plaza, Do you object to
thinking like that?
P.C.
A
I haven't seen it. Let me just say that I
at
1,1,67
am a believer that/the collegesand the university, as
I said the other day, I think that the Regents and
the administration have a right to set down reasonable
rules, and I think that the students have a right
to present proposals on things that they believe
would improve the overall academic atmosphere,
3r/ I think that the administration should consider
those, but I don't think that the administration
should be bound in any way on the basis of
apparently negotiated statements. The responsibility
for administering the University belongs with the
administrators and with the Board of Regents and
that is where it should stay, I don't t think we should
15
let the audience run the show.
?
Governor, have you made any decision
yet on eliminating these agency positions, or are
you. going to hold off to see how your reorganization
program goes?
A
Well, this is a part of the reorganization
program and this of course is going to require
legislative approval. We have a task force working
on this and we are certainly not going to keep anyone
in the dark on that in the legislature, we are going
to tall them what is contemplated. Luckily right
now we are talking about a reorganization plan that
goes from 3 to 3.
CI
Governor, you are apparently asking the
Legislature for pornotgraphy laws? What are you
actually asking for, the strengthening of the current
laws or new laws?
A
Well, I haven't had a chance to see what
has been presented. There was a pretty good bill
that Bob Finch was talking about in the campaign
that had been proposed by a group of lawyers, the idea
being to protect freedom of speech and press and at
the same time use some commonsense with regard to
those
protecting/underage,
Now the philosophy I think should be behind
it is what has been pretty successful in a local
scene in San Diego. Their approach to it has been
to the same basis and the same rights that we believe
society has to protect young people up to a certain
age from the rules regarding drinking, smoking,
availability of tobacco products, etc., and we
simply apply that commonsense formula to pornography.
This is the form that I think such legislation should
take.
2
Getting back to the University once more,
I have one more question. There is this trend indicated
by the studantsbodies to demand more in the way of
running the University. Is there any correlation
16
it
that perhaps/might be maturing experience to
little
students to help pay their own way to a/greater
extent. Is this related in your mind to this
seeming nationwide rebellion among students?
A
No, I don't think SO. I know that those
who are way over on the extreme fringe of this move-
ment have patterned after the thing we have seen
in some of the South American countries where the
actually do
students/set the teachers salaries, hire and fire
the teachers, and decide the curriculum, etc., but
I think the comparative picture of our own universities
in this country and what has happened on those campuses
makes one believe that our system is right, but I
didn't tie it in with this idea of whether paying
tuition or not,
2
What I am getting at, do you believe that
paying tuition might help to straighten out the
situation somewhat?
A
Well, I think to the extent anything of this
kind adds a little responsibility and maturing to
anyone this should have a beneficial effect.
O
Think might help to get rid of the undesir-
ables?
/
A
It might affect those who are there really
not to study but tcagitate, it might make them think
twice about paying a fee for the privilege of carrying
a picket sign.
2
Based on the latest conversation with Mr.
Smith, could you give us a figure that you have
now
in mind/us the deficit you will be facing in this
budget?
A
As nearly as we can figure the coming year
because of this problem given us by accrual, it comes
roughly around $475 million. Now, what we are going
to have to try to do between now and June 30 - we
estimated
are not going to give in to the $63 million/deficit for
the present year
without trying in these six months that are left to us
to effect economics and see if we can't eliminate
million
I

P.C 11.28.67

With the conduct of Dr. Clark.
A
Oh, here again I wouldn't be able to answer that.
I have talked to Dr. Dumke. I know that Dr. Dumke is
investigating the situation. I think it would be out of
line for me with only knowing what I read in the papers to
make a comment on that, and I'm sure that Dr. Dumke and the
Board of Trustees will gather all the information they need
to make whatever decision has to be made.
Q
Well, Governor, you had mentioned last week at
your conference following your meeting with Dr. Dumke that
you would await the report from Mr. Meask before you made
any statement regarding the conduct of Dr. Clark.
A
Well, Mr. Meask went down there to check on that
particular uprising, that riot on the campus, and to find
out whether State help was needed and outside of some State
Highway Patrolmen who were alerted and were standing by there
was no further need, as you know, the riot took a turn to
a peaceful demonstration type. That's the report that I
was waiting for there. This was not any investigation of
the running of the University.
One here.
Q
Governor, there's been a cutback in services to
crippled children throughout the State under the State
Crippled Children Services program, because of the inadequacy
of funds, and does this concern you and have you any plans
for a supplemental appropriation to bring the program back
up to the level that existed for previously?
A
I have a questinn whether there has been a cutback.
This is a program that could be as open end as you want it
to be. It would simply be where do you draw the line,
at what is a disability on the part of a child. And there
has been to my -- my knowledge no cutback in this program,
and there was no reduction in the program. But as the
State continues to grow, you may find that some -- that
lines are drawn. What lack of ability, what physical defect
do you constitute as a disability that requires special
attention or care? And as I say, this line will always be
arguable.
-15-
Governor, were you perhaps repelled by the spectacle
demonstres OCT 24
the Oakland Anti-draft demonstration?
Yes, and I think the aftermath, to suddenly find
a community and the taxpayers saddled with $200,000 estimated
damages for things scrawled on sidewalks and on buildings,
and for parking meters torn up and so forth -- there
absolutely is nothing that justifies this kind of conduct,
in a system such as ours where there is adequate provision
for dissent for making your views known, for trying through
legal channels to get changes in Governmental policy or law.
This is just -- this is riot. This is taking to the streets
in violence. This is trying to force your will upon the
people by violence and by law-breaking, and I just don't
think it should be tolerated any time, any place in our
country.
regests
o
Governor, in view of what you've just said with
-6-
regard to the rioting, don't you think that something stronger
should have been done by the Regents last Friday with regard
to a stand in stopping these uprisings from beginning in
Berkeley?
A
Well, I think that the Regents now have taken a
stand. I'm a little concerned that there seems to be some
confusion about what they did. The new policy, as I remember,
we are trying to preserve our system of local autonomy for
the campusses of our Universities, but the new statement of
policy from the Regents puts it squarely the responsibility
of the Chancellor of each campus that where the breaking of
the law is advocated in any meeting, whether the law is to
be broken off the campus or on, this would not be tolerated
and the Chancellor has a responsibility to take action and
to mete out punishment for doing SO.
Q
Will the size of the law enforcement agencies on
OCT 24 1967
campus be then increased?
A
Well, now this again is going to be up to each
campus to find out what their problem is, I wouldn't be
able to know whether that is going to require an increase in
police force or whether it is -- say, I must take another
boat ride.
(Laughter)
A
-- or whether this just means that the administra-
tion of the University having the authority to expel or to
punish, to suspend, they can handle the situation.
8
Lieutenant Governor Finch said last week while
you were gone that the authorities on the Berkeley Campus
were obviously out-gunned and out-manned.
A
Well, he was closer to the scene. I was gone
and I would accept his word for it. They seem to be.
Q
Governor, there's an instructor' at San Jose State
College, named Edwards who has been organizing and been
the public spokesman for a group of Negro athletes and wants
NOV3, 1967
to boycott the Olympic games, and encourage other Negro
athletes to do the same, Do you think this is proper, a
State employee to be forming this type of thing?
A
No, I don't.
Q
Now, when he comes up on Friday for a determination
of permanent appointment to State College -- he does not
have tenure yet, do you think as long as he engages in
this type of activity he should continue as an instructor
at San Jose State College?
A
Well, I could give you a personal opinion on that,
but I'm not sure that it would be proper publically, because
again there is one thing I don't want, is to add to any
idea that we are offering political interference in the
internal workings of a college or university, so I'd rather
not give an opinion on that. But personally I'm dis- I
disapprove greatly of what he's trying to accomplish and I
think a great many young athletes are going to be victimized
on emotional basis and make some decisions they are going to
regret for the rest of their lives.
1,23,68
as an excellent choice for a regental appointment today, you
have to look ahead 16 years and say, well now, will we still
feel the same way. As I say, I would hesitate to make changes.
I've made no decision with regard to the -- to appointments
that are coming up.
Q
Another university question, Governor. One of the
items discussed at the regents meeting last week was whether
there should be a state campus police force as proposed by
the staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee. What is your
attitude toward that?
A
Well, I think there is some merit in the objections
to that of the divided kind of jurisdiction and the taking
away of a certain amount of jurisdiction from the individual
campus. I've been one who believes in local autonomy.
On the other hand, I think there are also -- it is proper
that we should be looking at this entire subject, and there
are a number of changes that are being reviewed or ideas that
would not take all authority away from the local campus.
I
would question that, and I -- but I think there are some changes
that could be made.
Q
Governor, would you like to see the Brown Act or
the open meeting law applied to the University of California
board of regents?
A
Well, I think it is applied. As a matter of fact,
I was a little amazed the other day in reading protest about
this and the suggestion has been made that the very things
that we are -- we still left for executive session are the
things that are today left to executive session. Number
one, real estate problems, possible litigation involving
the regents or the university and personnel problems. Well,
those today are covered, and I think properly should be
covered. I think it would be the height of folly to have
to discuss in an open meeting some problem that involved a
law suit involving the regents or the university. I think
by the same token personnel matters, it would be very embar-
rassing and unfair to an individual to have to discuss in
public the hiring or firing of faculty personnel or administra-

3
efforts. The party began operating what amounted to a regular lec-
ture bureau, with party spokesmen seizing every opportunity to pro-
ject their views on campuses across the country.
To establish a closer link between the party and its youth groups,
two of the most promising and active young Communists, Mortimer
Daniel Rubin aud Danny Queen, were included on the party's national
committee. A longtime party functionary, Hyman Lumer, was re-
lieved of all responsibility in youth affairs, and Rubin was given full
responsibility for this phase of party activity. A new Marxist youth
organization, Advance, was organized in New York City. A drive is
currently underway to establish a new Marxist youth publication,
'New Horizons."
Trap for Students
The plans for the format of "New Horizons" reveal the nature of
the trap Communists are setting for campus students. Reporting on
the proposed format to the party's national executive committee
recently, Rubin pointed out that "New Horizons" will not be labeled
a Marxist publication. The purpose of this is to avoid too close
identification with the Communist Party. But it will, he said, give
a "Marxist analysis of the youth movement and a socialist, Marxist-
Leninist outlook." He expressed the conviction that it would be
extrémely effective in closing the gap between what he termed demo-
cratic youth and the youth on the left.
Further illustrating the tremendous drive the party is making to
infiltrate student groups is the agenda for a youth conference the
party held in Chicago, June 11-12, 1960. The major points on the
agenda for the 2-day conference were (1) "mass developments on the
campus" and (2) "left-student developments." Discussed in relation
to these points were ways and means by which young Communists
could exploit such controversial issues on campuses as civil rights,
academic freedom, and other so-called peace issues.
Youth Victimized
Particularly unfortunate is the fact that many youth and student
groups in our Nation today are totally unaware of the extent to which
they can be victimized and exploited by Communists. The sad proof
of this fact was nowhere more apparent than in municipal court in
San Francisco on June 1, 1960, when Judge Albert A. Axelrod dis-
missed riot charges against 62 of the persons arrested as a result of
the mob violence which erupted during demonstrations protesting the
hearings held in that city by the House Committee on Un-American.
Activities (HCUA), May 12-14, 1960.
The judge pointed out that there were ample grounds for conviction
in the cases involving the 62 defendants, most of whom were college
students, but he added that the defendants were, for the most part,
"clean-cut American college students" who could well be haunted for
the rest of their lives by the stigma which a conviction would attach
to them. In response to this action on the part of the judge, 58 of
the defendants signed a statement distributed immediately after he
had rendered his decision. It read, in part: "Nobody incited us,
nobody misguided us. We were led by our own convictions and we
still stand firmly by them."

Martin Royscher will now speak for the CDO:
Note: Martin Royscher is historian for New Left--long
an activist.
Mike Lerner, referred to, another New Left activist.
I'd like to go through the whole history of the Vietnam Commencement
with you which Mr. Lerner grossly misunderstands at many key points.
To begin with, we planned the Vietnam Commencement a long time ago
with a special form of activity. We planned that commencement to
direct inside the campus as well as outside. We thought it was
important to tell the people of the State of California that
students on this campus were not going to fight the war and that
faculty members were going to support them in their decision. So
we planned a program. We planned a program which gives citations
to three prominent draft resisters who are now in jail. We invited
Robert Hutchins to speak on the issue of draft resistance. One of
our student members is going to present a position; one of our
faculty members will. Michael Senturia of the music department
composed a special music for the program. The (unintelligible)
decided now to join us. That program, the Vietnam Commencement,
the Regents banned anywhere on campus. Mike was either wrong or
lying when he said they ordered us out of the Greek Theatre. The
Regents said that commencement could not be held anywhere on cam-
pus. We held a CDO membership meeting about two weeks ago at
which Mike was present and made the argument he made now, and that
membership meeting voted that, should it perhaps be necessary to
confront the University over the Vietnam Commencement and inasmuch
as they did not want that commencement anywhere on campus, we
decided we would bring that commencement to the very center of
-2-
campus. Right here on Sproul Hall steps. That very same program--
no shortened rally. It's going to take place Friday at twelve noon.
And I'd like the Chancellor as well as Mike Lerner to learn that.
I don't know if they both want to or not. So we decided that the
program is going to be held, and it's going to be held here for a
very simple reason. When oI look over the names, we did not tell the
Chancellor that we were going to have a rally. There again Mike
is lying or else misinformed. We never discussed our confab with
the Chancellor. That lecture, if you read the Daily Cal the last
few days, you realize the administration is upset because we didn't.
They are now trying to find ways to ban us without getting to our
content. So now they tell us, Well, gee, you told us you were going
to hold a rally, not a commencement. I think the release which was
published on Monday, I think the ads in the Daily Cal, I think the
program which is going to come out tomorrow for the Greek Theatre
and for the Vietnam Commencement makes that very clear. We're not
going to cut off that program just to reply if it is at one o'clock
and the microphone's shut off, that's too bad. We're going to con-
tinue that program as long as it's necessary to complete it. We
don't want to involve the University in its extraneous issues over
time, place, and manner. But we do want to have the Vietnam Commence-
ment and we're going to go to the lengths necessary to present that.
Now I'd like to go into some little political points regarding what
is important. You know, in all of Mr. Lerner's remarks, he didn't
talk about draft resisters. Well, that's what we're all here about.
-3-
That's why we're resisting the draft, that's why we not going to
go. And that's why we think it's important to have that commence-
ment. Lerner was voted down by about 100 to 5 in the CDO meeting
for a very good reason: the CDO decided it was better to support
draft resistance on campus than to waste time fighting wars for the
Greek Theatre and fighting cops--especially if the Regents didn't
give a damn if it was held in the Greek Theatre or on Sproul Hall
steps. As far as we're concerned, I think it's a little bit
disingenuous for Mike to accuse us of backing down when he never
attacked Stop the Draft Week earlier this year for moving off campus
their rally. He never attacked the Carmichael thing of two years
ago from passing itself off as an educational function. But he
clearly did not. We've been very honest all the way through.
And I'd now like to address myself to a different side of the
spectrum. Because there are also a few questions over exactly why
we're holding the Vietnam Commencement. So the people say, well,
you can support draft resisters without holding a commencement, you
know. You have your speeches and your pledges all the time. Well,
I agree with Mike that it's important to have the commencement. In
fact, that's why we're going to go through with it. It's not just
the word "commencement". We've designed a program which presents
citations to draft resisters in front of the television cameras in
the State of California. We've designed a program which presents
faculty and students explaining why they're doing that. We've
designed a program which involves mass presentation of pledges and
which presents us as students and faculty to the State of California
-4-
as draft resisters. That is what the Regents don't like. Not
that the fact of what we might do is called a' commencement or not.
And that program we're going to continue with. Because we think
at this time in our nation's history it is most important to do SO.
Not only have the Regents and the Governor of the State of Califor-
nia called that support obscene, but the federal government has
decided, the House of Representatives voted last week, to cease
giving fellowship aid to anybody who is involved in radical
activities on campus. In times such as these, one does not shut
up. And that's why the Regents are upset and that's why we're
going to continue. Because it's very important that those who are
resisting the draft have the support of this community as well as
the support of the people of the State of California. And at the
rally on the 17th we're going to, in that commencement, in that
speech, challenge Hitch and Heyns to come forward with a public
statement of University policy on the draft as well as a statement
of conscience. We wrote them letters two weeks ago, they've had a
number of conversations with us, their secretaries say they can't
show them the letters and then, when we meet them, when we meet
them, they say, Well, that's really not necessary. So the Vietnam
Commencement is going to point at the University, also. The Academic
Senate yesterday took a good stand on the draft. We want the Uni-
versity to take that stand, and we want Hitch and Heyns to make a
statement on conscience.
And for these reasons, all of our efforts are directed toward draft
resistance. We're going to hold the commencement on Friday. We're
going to push for a University policy on the draft, and a statement
-5-
of conscience on the draft from each and every one of our leaders-
both in the University and in the state. I would like Mike
Lerner's help in that. I think if anybody thinks the Vietnam
Commencement is not going to go on, that it should fall (?) on the
line, they should come here on Friday and find out. In the mean-
time, I'd like Mike's help. on draft resistance on this campus.
And I think that he's sincerely committed to us; he'll give it to
us. (Applause)

Campus Dissent
RESPONSE TO "POLITICAL TEST" file ACCUSATIONS:
There have been some gross and what appear to be deliberate
misinterpretations of my remarks about faculty balance on some
of our campuses.
I am happy to say that there are those among the press who
understood my comments and reported them accurately. But, very
regrettably, someone coined the term "political test" and claimed
I advocated such an approach. The term is foreign to my vocabu-
lary, the idea is opposite to my way of thinking, and, indeed,
such a test would be illegal. Such distorted reporting does a
tremendous disservice to the academic community and to the citi-
zens of California.
Twice in formal press conferences and several times in
impromptu meetings with the press, I have expressed my dismay at
reports from campus officials and from members of the faculty
that in some departments on some campuses the faculty itself has
been selecting its members on the basis of political or ideologi-
cal position.
My dismay is at an existing political test. My plea is for
removing such a test--not adding one.
Dr. Hayakawa has stated: "I think I- know what the Governor
was driving at. At some departments, one point of view prevails.
For example, in certain psychology departments, experimental
psychologists prevail over phenomonologists.
"And actually, there are political tests in certain depart-
ments of the state colleges now. If a man is not far enough
left, he doesn't get hired. This is true if you have a leftist
clique in the department. You almost never have a rightist clique.
"The answer is to make the department responsible to the
outside intellectual community and how to do that I do not know. 11
In those institutions of highest quality, the least atten-
tion is paid to the political or ideological beliefs of the
faculty, and competence is based on the ability to keep biases
from distorting teaching and scholarship. Academic freedom
thrives in such an environment where a person may pursue the
truth dispassionately and without indoctrinating others with
his personal beliefs.
I have repeatedly urged the academic community to recognize
this problem because it is a problem that only they--in their
proper role--can solve. It is dangerous and sad that in some
departments on some campuses the faculty has failed to uphold
their professional ethics and to exercise that self-discipline
that is so vital to quality education.
CAMPUS UNREST
August 21, 1970
The Honorable William Scranton
Chairman, President's Commission
on Campus Unrest
Executive Office Building
Washington, D.C.
Dear Bill:
You have accepted from the President a task of unusual importance.
Campus unrest is a problem with implications of immense propor-
tions for higher education and for society as a whole. As you
know, California has had its share of compus unrest. We are well
aware of its ramifications, and, from the beginning, we have
desired to be or help to you and your Commission.
In California, public higher education is divided between three
systems: the University of California includes 100, 000 students
on nine campuses: the California State Colleges include 200, 000
students on nineteen campuses: and the excellent community college
system--which is responsible for the education of the majority of
our students--includes 700, 000 students on ninety-four campuses.
There have been marked differences between the systems with regard
to their potential for campus disturbances and their ability to
cope with disorder when it occurs. The University campuses have
had by far the greatest problems, and the University has thus far
been unable to solve many of them. The state colleges have had
fewer problems and have had greater success when problems occurred.
The community colleges have been marked by their dedication to
education with generally healthy campus climates. The very Git-
ference between the systems with regard to faculty values and
traditions does much to explain an important part of our problem.
Unfortunately, the board and administrative leadership of these
systems were denied--vith one exception--th opportunity to testify
before the Commission when that would have been appropriate
during its brief visit to California. We have also been concerned
with nows media accounts of your Commission hearings which have
indicated that you have not been receiving all the available infor-
mation on campus conditions in this state and that not all points
of view have been represented. Because of this fact, 1 an
The Honorable William Scranton

forwarding to you for the use of your Commission certain documents
which are based on our experiences. I hope they will contain
material of interest to you.
I am optimistic that our society can resolve its problems and that
our institutions will be freed once again from internal coercion so
that they may pursue the truth and pass it on to new generations.
My optimism stems from knowledge that the public, despite being sub-
jected to numerous misconceptions and rationalizations without sub-
stance which have been offered as explanations for campus unrest,
has nonetheless a remarkably clear view of the sources of campus
disorder. The success or failure of your Commission will be
measured by the extent to which it accurately contributes to such
public understanding.
Sincerely,
RONALD REAGAN
Governor
