clapping and shouting could be heard ail around campus during the peak hours of the rallv Riled up students vscre rcadv and willing to voice their opinions. When asked about Berkeley in the 1960s, any self-respect- ins; American conjures up images of tic-dve-clad flower children, free love, psychedelic drugs, groovy music, and, of course, radical protest. As the center of the Free Speech Movement and the Third World Strike, Bcrkclcv was, without a doubt, the place to be for the radical activist set. In the nearly three decades since the tumultuous sixties, however, Berkeley has experienced a decline in its activist image. The ' weirdos ' still hang out on Telegraph, a tic-dyed shirt is not an uncommon sight, and marijuana is still the drug ot choice, but Berkeley seems to be lacking a certain, jc nc sais quoi, revolution- ary umph.

Although Jackson was the most visible and well known speaker, others made similarly moving statements. Ethnic Studies professor Carlos Munoz, Jr. compared the protesters to their counterparts from the 1960s. The spirits of my comrades, the men and women who died in the 1960s... are alive and well with us today, Munoz said. I think we pay them honor today. Several of the speakers, including Martha Jimenez, a Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) attorney, and State Assemblywoman Barbara Lee Despite its past, the Berkeley campus is not ranked among the top ten most active campuses in the United States. UCLA captured the title for the nineties. , FFIH 1AriVF, ACTION 27
