This interview - was conducted
by myself on Saturday, May 24,
2.969. I met Mr. Stein on the
lawn in front of Old Main at U
niversity Park. The following
was transcribed from a tape re
cording of the interview.
My name is Barry Stein, I'm
a member of SDS, White Liberation
Front, and a University Senate
Committee. What happened out here
on Tuesday night, through our un
der ground newspaper, the WATER
TUNNEL, we got in touch with the
brothers out in Berkley to find
out what was going on out there
because we couldn't get anything
from the newsmedia. We found out
that they shot and killed one kid
and wounded 35 others with no pro
vocation whatsoever just op
ened
fire.on them. We have pictu
res of the-first shooting in whic*
this kid was shot in the back as 1
he ran down the street.
WAS IT BUCKSHOT?
This was the sheriff of Los
Alamos County on Wednesday night
on local radio out there, he apo
logized because the ammunition
truck was supposed to issue bird
shot, which is like paperwads and
accidentally issued OD buckshot,
which is like BB's the size of
ballbearings., The first kid who
was shot probably from 50 feet,
was _split:from his cheat dawn to
his groin, and after they removed
his liver, his pancreas and his
kidney before he died they tried
to save him. That wasinTlME mag
azine.
THAT WAS RECTOR WASN'T IT?
Right s James Rector, They
were supposedly only using the
shotguns, but the manager of the
BERKLEY BARB Has a wound in:which
he could stick his index, finger,
which is kind of hard to get from
70 feet with birdshot or buckshot
This whole thing at Berkley star
ted after the Hippie community
there built a park, and it was
like vacant mud puddles and they
'opt slides down, and were slee -
ping out there. And the Radi
cal Action group, who has worked
very' closely with the; Black Panth
4ecided to extend this . to the Bl
ack community, They built swings
and sandboxes and sort of wnrked
in conjunction tth the Breakfast I
Program the Panthers - are running, I
And the University suddenly deci
ded that after all these years
they wanted the land to ,a
parking lot: or a baseball field
on it, The kids decided to defend .
'it, but there was still no confn
ontratian ;until one afternoon at
one of the daily rallies held at
Berkley each day at 1, one of the
kids came out, ihe said that the

ed that the "pigs" tare had built
a fence at Berkley around to peo
ples park, and they went down to
reclaim the park. They. went tow
ard the police and the police dis
persed them, and a; they dispersed
them; they opened fire on the, t
with tear gas and shot guns and
that's *ere to wounding took lace
Now the last couple of days the
helicopters were flying over the
campus with CS which is sort of
like a misture of teargas and tl
cum powder, it sacks to your skin
so you can't, get it off like reg

then. They've all been sent to
Santa Rita Detention Center, a
camp which was used to deign Jap

But it wasn't only the - students ,
but the downtown shoppers, they

from the previous _adminis

When asked what he
hoped to , accomplish during
his reign, Kirkley stated
that he wanted to work for
a strong and united SGA."My
definition of-the. EGA is
that it is a strong, opin
ionated student body with
elected representatives as
their mouthpiece. Only if
we're a united 'SGA can we
push for the needed changes.
"In the beginning I
spoke of an academic atMos,-
phere. Ap atmosphere in
which students use all of
the facilities t 9 their ful
lest extent. This can only
be accomplished by letting
them know. what and where
these facilities _are._ . I
speak not only of physical
facilities,at_hand, such. as
the library; clisroots, and
laboratories, bdt . . 4 nhe new
things I hope to_develop.on
campus. The first of these
things is the development
of the Free University. Sys,
tem---an increased exchange
of ideas between students
and faculty ranging. from
discussions. to projects."
He also. intends to in
stitute a program. of contro

like Viet Nam, sex, drugs,
racism, etc.
