ndescribable ... but let ' s give it a shot. 31,D08 students attend Cal. Asian students compose 23% of the population, Blacks 5%, Hispanics 6%, and Whites 62%. 20.2% call themselves conservatives, 38.05% claim to be liberal, and a ing 41.8% meander along in the middle-of-the road. 31% would legalize marijuana if they could, while 54% feel that the government needs to do more to control pollution. 75% (89% female and 61% ma le) strongly disagree that a woman ' s place is in the home. 53% of conservative men plan to marry within one year of college graduation. They can ' t all marry conservative women though, because only 35% in this category plan to marry within the same time period. So, what does this tell us, other than a few things to throw in to a dull conversation? Each of the 31,008 students is unique. The typical Cal student exists only in that he is indescribable, for no prototype exists. Source: Office of Student Research NT LI FE

Students of Today Inherit Legacy Of Sixties Many students today perceive the 1960 ' s as an enigmatic time when people wore long hair, spent the day meditating, and advocated peace throughout the world. They speculate no further on Berkeley ' s past than to acknowledge the Berkeley Radicals and to conjure up vague images of the Free Speech Movement, sit-ins at Sproul Hall, and incendiary speeches in People ' s Park. For many, these images are all that comes to mind when the elusive sixties are mentioned. Many come to Berkeley know- ing little more than these few catch-phrases of the era, and many more feel no remorse when they leave without learn- ing much more about the period. The 60 ' s however, was more than just a colorful historical episode in UC Berkeley ' s past. Many of the freedoms that students now take for granted at Cal are the direct legacy of the political pro- gress made during the 60 ' s. Political expression on cam- pus is the most widely known freedom attained as the result of the political activism of the six- ties. Before 1965, political ex- pression was prohibited on UC property; as an alternative loca- tion students chose the most obvious area, Sather Gate, for speeches and other events. When Sproul Plaza and the Martin Luther King Student Union were constructed, thereby extending the Univer- sity ' s boundary to Bancroft Avenue, students and ad- ministrators alike assumed that the free speech area would merely extend to the red brick sidewalk outside the campus markers. But, when an Oakland Tribune reporter discovered that this sidewalk was actually University property and not city property, students truly had nowhere to go to express their political views. Out of this frustrating chain of events, the Free Speech Movement explod- ed, bringing to the forefront the conflicts and chaos that are so well remembered. Today, the situation is much different. On-campus political organizations ' tables line Sproul Plaza, and it is difficult to pass through the area during the peak hours from eleven to one without being approached by supporters of many causes. The groups they represent range from very political organizations such as Students Against In- tervention in Central America (S.A.I.C.A) to religious organiza- tions like Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. The publicity that these groups are able to attract because of the right to free speech on campus is an essen- tial aspect of their existence. The role of the University in the personal life of students has also changed greatly since the 1960 ' s. The administration ' s policy of in loco parentis meaning that the school acts as a guardian in the absence of parents, seems foreign to to- day ' s students. Back then, the university maintained that the dorms were off-limits to members of the opposite sex except during certain visiting hours. Furthermore, if a stu- dent broke the law off campus, not only was he responsible to civil authorities, he was also
