![FSM Victory Party and Mario Savio Birthday Party; Charles Artman interview](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Date: 12/8/1964Call Number: CE 677Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
Recording of an FSM victory party that doubled as Mario Savio’s 22nd birthday party. The beginning of the tape contains party attendees singing several satirical songs composed for the occasion, as well as “Happy Birthday,” with some explanatory commentary by Edwards. The latter half is an interview conducted at the party with Charles Artman (also known as Charlie Brown), a former Cal student who was arrested at Sproul Hall. He describes his experiences with the sit-in and how he became involved. He describes how he and others had fasted for the preceding five days, waiting for the demands of the FSM to be met, and his intent to fast again if the regents of the university do not honor decisions made by the academic senate. He was drawn by what he calls the movement's "orderliness" and its "Gandhian direction."

Date: 12/9/1964Call Number: CE 678Format: 1/4 3 3/4 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
A victory rally on the UC Berkeley campus following the Academic Senate vote to support freedom of political expression on campus. Speakers include Mario Savio (who is greeted with a serenade of “Happy Birthday”), Jack Weinberg, philosophy professor John Searle, Bettina Aptheker, Ron Anastasi (reading a message from Joan Baez as well as an op-ed by Ralph Gleason), and Art Goldberg. Lots of gratitude expressed, thanking movement supporters including Harvard students and Bay Area labor unions, and lots of self-effacing humor. Aptheker’s speech, which touches on experiences in Santa Rita and gratitude for faculty support, is especially well-crafted. Goldberg discusses the role of humor in the movement. There is also talk of organizing for the upcoming Regents meeting at UCLA, and soliciting donations for legal defense. Notes on the tape box indicate that parts of this recording were used for the program “Mario Savio: A Study in Charisma.”
