FSM: Students to Jail Program 2- tape 2
Call Number: CE 740Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
The second program deals primarily deals with the fallout of the arrests of students, police tactics (including police brutality), and the response of UC Berkeley’s administration and the Board of Regents, along with the ramifications of FSM participation for protesting students-many received jail sentences of up to four months. Protesters also worried about double jeopardy-being punished by both legal charges and by the University, along with restriction of speech by the administration; new rules and amendments allow free speech, on the condition that no illegal acts are advocated, nor any violence or force. Perceived shortcomings of ASUC (academic senate of the University of California,) such as the barring of graduate students and low voting turnout among students, are also discussed. ASUC is seen as the main student organization to deal with the administration and their policies; students are thus concerned whether ASUC is representative of the student body at large or powerful enough to engage the administration on students’ concern.

FSM: A Student Saga Unknown Version Tape 1
Call Number: CE 745Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
This recording is a retrospective documentary on the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley in the fall-winter of 1964, narrated by Colin Edwards. Primarily derived from audio and interviews with students, faculty, and UC administrators, this documentary looks at the FSM, specifically the events of Sept. 3rd and 4th and the fallout of the student arrests and police brutality. Among the themes explored include the origins of the movement in civil rights activism, along with the underlying tensions between the students and UC President Clark Kerr’s ideology. Kerr advocated modeling the university as a “multiversity” and a “knowledge factory,” while FSM activists such as Mario Savio believed the “hallmark of the university is inquiry;” ergo there was a tension between a more bureaucratic, business-oriented model and one more democratic and humanistic one is an underlying theme. The role of police in the breakup of the Sproul Hall sit-in, reports of police brutality, and whether police should even be allowed on a university campus, is also explored.
