Jack Weinberg, UC Berkeley FSM organizer, and Jim Berland, a student organizer at UCLA (as well as an unidentified speaker) speak at a student rally at the December 1964 Regents Meeting at UCLA. Topics discussed include frustration with bureaucracy and a sense that administrators are “stalling,” the effects of the movement in building political awareness and a warmer community on campus at Berkeley and UCLA, power dynamics and the lack of formal hierarchy in the movement, and censorship of research in relation to corporate connections of university administrators. There is a short section at the end which is unintelligible due to being very sped up.
