![FSM: Students to Jail Program 2 Full Track- tape 2](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Call Number: CE 744Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
The second tape 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.
