INTRODUCTIONThroughout the free speech controversy i t has been evidentthat the administrat ion has assumed that the students would act asindividuals who could be easi ly ftightened away by a token exerciseof authority. They expected that we would act with the same regardfor precedent and pecking order that they had. The record hasshown that we have acted more commendably.From the beginning we have acted as a group, a community whichwould suffer no individual to be singled out for punishment forwhat a l l had done or should have done. Every action taken by thestudents has been a mass action. We have never turned our backsand hoped that the problem would go away i f we ignored i t . Thatcourse was consistent ly taken by the Administration, and the i rproblems did not go away, but increased. Finally, they admitteddefeat on December 3rd by cal l ing in hundreds of policemen to dragthe problems off to j a i l .The press has been almost uniformly unfavorable to us, to saythe l eas t . But there are among us many people who know , fromthe exampleso-f the IWW and the CIa that a good song l as t s farlonger and has a wider circulat ion than any edi toria l .And so the songs were writ ten , for the most part individuallyby students caught up in the movement. The subjects are many,andmore songs are constantly being written. The Twelve Days ofSemes ter and the 'Lament 'of a Minor Dean as well as the pageof Christmas Carols were writ ten as part of a songwritingproject by Joe La Penta, Ken Sanderson, Dusty Miller and BarryJablon. The carols have been recorded on a 45-RPM record ent i t ledJoy to U.C. . They deal with the original demonstrations ofOctober 1st-2nd. Free Speech was writ ten about the Sproul Halls i t - in of December 2nd-3rd by Malvina Reynolds, grand old galof topical songs. Womb with a View concerns the maddeningpaternalism that is Administration policy, and Join the FSMis a general recrui t ing type song. Both were written by Dan Paik,one of the arrested students.The distort ions of the press are handled by Genevieve Haileyin President Kerr . Dave Mandel wrote Battle of Berkeley TalkingBlues which sat i r izes the events surrounding the October demon-s t ra t i ons. Put My Name Down was wri t ten by myself for Nov. 9thwhe n t he FSM again set up more tables and gave the Deans more

n ~ e t hey could handle. i s a lso the subject of DanPaik s ;-3. 1 Goin Round Takin ' lW lc s , Hey, Mister Newsman byRi chard Kampf addresses i t se l f t o those journal is ts who paymo re attention to unconventional dress than to the issuesinvolved. An Age Old Tale by Paul Gilbert will , as i t s marneimp l ie s , be good for a few more ages, as i t describes the generals i tua t ion in i t s poetic verses. Ri chard Schmorleitz, pressse cre tary o t he FSM, found time f r om h is duties to wr i t eI liaL< ed cut 1n 'the Streets of Berkeley al ong with Dan Pa lkoTi ;:if't; 1' 8 G= t t ing Hard by Kitty Piper and ' I Don t Wan t YourKind Prote c t ion by Peter 'Krug were writ ten in off moments a tFSM Central, our main office . There are more, for which Ido not have space to mention.These, then, are our songs, and they constitute a powerfulweapon. No amount of sanct imonious speeches can stop t hem,no number of f rant ica l ly summoned policemen can eapture andi mprison them. Sing them loud and Sing them often. You willbe helping to f ight ' the bat t le for Consti tut ional r ights .

.ti'REE SPEECH Words and music byMalvina ReynoldsHow'd Y O ~ l ike to be a cop arresting students?ijow'd you l ike to be a copper clubbing brains?They're the most i l legal lawThat the students ever saw,And they shove the Constitution down the drains.

Free speech, i t s in the Bll1 of Rlghts,Free speech is our pride,And we' l l f ight unti l we win,And get our l iberty again,And i f we go to Santa RitaWe'll sing "Freedom Freedom "As we ride.

Well, a cop's idea of order 1s a nightst ick.His persuasion Is a heavy l e f t and r ight ,When that freedom cry goes up,He reacts l ike Pavlov's pup,And s tar ts beating every picketer in sight .

CHORUSWell, we got an education in the classroomvl ere 8 use d t he te xt book and the old slide rule ,But whe n poI ice t:J3de a cal lOn the ki ds in r ~ o u l Ba l l ,Well, we l earned some t h ings we never learned in school.

CHORUSWell, W know wh8t's goj.ng 0n o 1 ~ t s i d e the campus,~ w e ' ~ e who MG n t o ~ a our say,~ ~ A J e 11 k p ; ~ ; : ? OL 'Jpr'2ici.i1[.: f r'ce,And we l l cal l ' em a ~ we fE d ,Even though they take our loudspeakers away.

CHORUS .Let the students and professors run the college,Mr. Kerr can tend the machines,Let them know b our U.C.Is no robot fact ory,But a place to learn what just ice real ly means.

I WALKED OUT IN BERKELYtune: Streets of Laredo

by RichardSchmorleitzand Dan Palkcopyright 1964 byFantasy/ Galaxy Re cords.As I was out walking one morning in Berkeley,As I walked out in Berkeley one day,I spied an old man a l l sad and dejectedHis hands they were shaking, his hair i t was gray.

I see by your books,boy, that you are a studentTtlese words he did say as I t r ied to go by,Come s i t down beside me and hear my sad storyHe then shook his head and he gave a deep sigh.I t is here on the campus that I am the ChancellorI push the buttons and run the whole show,These are my children but now they're ungratefulThey think they are adults , they think they are grown.Can you hear them shouting and screaming and singing?They think they're so smart and they think they're so strongThey want to make speeches but never say nice things,But they're only students so they're in the wrong.

They stopped my cop car and kept making speeches,Those beatniks and communists sat in my hal l .e can do without them, they always cause t rouble,This school 'd look i t s best with no students a t a l l .

I t was then that I l e f t him to go to my classesBut I heard some voices and noticed a crowd.I l e f t off my studies and l is tened to thei r side,I gathered my books and sat down on the ground.I wish he had been there to watch and to l i s ten,To hear what al l of those students did say.I t wasn't a final or even a midtermBut we showed we'd learned something a t Berkeley that day.(Repeat f i r s t verse)

N AGE OLD TALEwords and music by Paul GilbertCopyright 1964 Fantasy/Galaxy RecordsThe concrete sidewalks ache from crushing foot stepsThe torr id asphalt moans in the raging sunThe streets bear the stamp of weary wanderersToiling down a road they ve Just begun.The barren aged minds fa l l faint and fallowThe dim l t homes of fear l i e barred and bareThe fountains of their dreams stagnate l ike swamplandsPolluted and abandoned without care.The tyrants tongue i s cloaked with righteous angerThe bigot s boast is cloaked with cunning snaresThe gambler gains his place with posted policemenAnd the coward yields to a l l in sheer d ~ s p a i rOh the colors on the canvas sadly murmurWith b oody crimsons flowing to the groundAnd the mad maimed mouths in mutilated angerFrant i c t ry to form a warning sound.The stranglingvenomed vine with craft is creepingClinging to the pi l lars of the past_Through shaded windows f l ickering l ights keep seepingThe fe r t i le fields outside jus t out of grasp.But the blaring horns and timely trumpets mutedcannot forever lose the1r mag1c spellAnd soon 1n wonderous beauty human heart stringsWill s t i r in speech and song to freedom s knell .
