Later their philosophy broadened, including different types of expression, seminars and small group relations. Stu- dents doing the initial planning and work- ing all year to keep it going were jim Hurst, Candy Gonzales, Tavina Benedict, Ginny Spurlin, Andy Smith, Bruce Nebins, Phyllis Christmas, Sean Griffin and Peter Adams. The first big event sponsored by SOF was a Forum on Student Activism, with faculty members Somerville, Briggs, jenson and Kim speaking and jim Hurst and Tavina Benedict organizing it. Later, a series called the Human Rights Revolution brought several major speakers to campus. They were Chochezi, from the Black community, Reies Tijerina, Mexican-American Rights Revolution Land with him Alberto Urista, and Anturo Serrano, from the San Diego Brown Beretsl, Patricia Duro, tribal chair- Left. SOF moved into what was last year the publications office and took over the same plea-help! Inside, below, collages and unique furniture made of cable spools made the Students for Open Forum office the talk of the cam- man of the Rincon Indian tribe, and lra Sandperl from the Center for the Study of N on-Violence. This very active and enthusiastic group also sponsored workshops in photography and creative arts and a tutoring program in the San Diego high schools. Peter Adams started a film series open to all students, presenting such films as The ldiotn, iiThe Forbidden Games, and Red Desert . ln May, SOF strove to provide a forum for the analysis and discussion of the Berke- ley Crisis, not necessarily taking any side, but trying to present both points of view so that students could make their own judge- ments. The main speaker was the president of UCSD, speaking before faculty mem- bers and students. A tape was also played of the Santa Rosita Prison in Berkeley. The distributing of literature not usually available on the Cal Western campus was another worth-while project of Students for Open Forum. Their office was always open to any student who wanted more informa- tion could either get it there or check it out of the special SOP library. the initial plan- typical pose pus.
