chris and i have been friends since we pledged the fraternity at uc berkeley in 1978.to first thank chris's family for allowing me the honor of speaking today as we celebrate chris's amazing life. i look at this crowd. i try to figure out how much he achieved so much while making personal and professional connections and lifelong friends all over the world. this beautiful light-filled rotunda is the perfect seting to celebrate chris's life. he was a true renaissance man and offered a lesson in modern day enlightenment to all he met. some say don't sweat the small stuff. chris was successful because he did pay attention to little details and common courtesis that showed the world that he cared. i think the roots of chris's enlightening character were evident when we were undergrads at cal. i would like to share examples. first of all we will start superficially on the topic of fashion. chris like many of our pledge class was from piedmont. i recall thinking what is up with piedmont. the khakis, penny loafers and button-down shirts? chris lived in the room across from mi

. >> we actually worked to establish fraternity on campus at san jose state. we invited everyone in. just happened, all the guys that started were all latinos. it was a way for us to -- to build a support structure, because you know it was some what lacking on campus at that point. so we fog yerd no one else is going to help us. why don't we kind of get together and help ourselves. >> loans, you know, grants. cal grant. pell grant. you name it. i applied for it. djing on weekend. my family, my mom, sisters, brothers, would send me money. >> they didn't have a car to give him. so he had a bike. they bought him a bike. so every time it rained, my mom would -- she would say he is getting wet. he is getting wet. so that makes me kind of emotional because he was getting wet. and then afterward my mom cried. they got him a car. >> there were strong consequences for us if i failed in school. if i failed in school, the consequences were i would go back in the fields. and it scared the living day lights out of me. [ speaking spanish ] >> my dad always told me -- you ar

this is beyond the stereotypical fraternity life experience, because i was lucky enough to live with chris and another famous piedmonter austin tichner. talk about enlightening. he dubbed our large room the triple occupancy club. little did i know this came with the added bonus of an extracurricular education in the arts. chris arrived with his stack of lps, many courtesy of his step dad, bob. the chronicle music critic at the time. austin contributed his eclectic theater and comedy recordings and, well, himself. those of you that know austin know that nothing more need be said. balancing that urbane cultural scene chris invited me to visit his grandfather, where we got to do gold panning from the virgin load of dirt. it was lesson in history from the stevens family. i will never forget what a great experience it was to live with those two guys. moving on to his study habits, everyone knew how brilliant he was, an enlightened manner. he was truly the smartest man in the room but never comported himself that way. he was confident and outgoing. never arrogant. always self-effacing, qui

with me now is the past president of the county's fraternal order of police. thank you very much for being here with us. the chief is talking about effects bargaining. as it stands, that means the union can negotiate any action by the police chief that has an affect on employees. the chief wants to deploy officers where he says there are high crime areas and some other things. these strategic deployment, his look at how the force should be directed. what's wrong with that? why do you want to keep the law the way it is? >> we've had this law for 30 years without any controversy or problems. now all of a sudden it's a problem for this police chief. has the ability to do what he needs to do. this law is clear. it cannot impair management right. anything to the contrary is not true. this is not about e-mail, never was about e-mail. it's not about holding officers from going to silver spring. by his own testimony before the council in montgomery county, he was able to do that. this doesn't behinder management one way or the other. question b fails or passes. it wil

focus on these men, the fraternity it before but -- the fraternity that they formed and the experience across the country. i think that there were a couple of things that i try to be careful not to do. one was heightened the drama too much. i think the main thing that was important to me that holy cross was both special and unique, but it was a microcosm of what was happening in the country at that time. i am not american. i grew up in scotland. have catholic. barry is a very in the name to have. i was always intrigued. i was born in the late 60's, it never really fully understood the emotions at the time that the book opens right after dr. martin luther king has been killed. also faller brooks and treat me as somebody who was a pioneer who went out there and basically circumvented the admissions process. very controversial, as you know. those of you read the book and know him. a very strong-willed man who went out in a car, drove to the school, personally interviewed a lot of these men, not those who came in through other means such as eddie you came in through an athletic scholarship

so, the university suspended his fraternity indefinitely.alexander, the fraternity and now their attorney deny there was any butt chugging at all and the result of all this was perhaps the greatest press conference of all time. >> i informed him that the reason that i was there was to ask him whether or not he had been involved in an activity called butt chugging. and he looked at me le i had lost my mind. and said, what is that? and, ladies and gentlemen, that is the first time that he had ever heard of the two words butt chugging, which have now become two famous words across the united states and across the world. >> jimmy: they have? [ laughter ] across the world? [ applause ] are you trying to tell me that they're talking about butt chugging in cambodia right now? [ laughter ] and it didn't end there. there's one more thing the kid wanted his lawyer to mention. >> mr. broten, scotch, denies each and every allegation whatsoever, that has been inferred that he may be a gay man. he is a straight man and he thinks that the idea and the conc

my fraternal grandmother, her father was born a slave and later became an owner of a farm in virginia. in prince edward county, virginia. this was the county that was the site of a 1951 protest led by black students to persuade their local school board to build them a better school. it also led in part to the landmark civil rights place -- decision, brown vs. board of education. my grandmother and her sisters realized early on that education was important for their survival. their unshakeable persistence and unflinching sacrifice led them to better lives. not only did they had -- have to do with racism but the belief that a woman's place was in the home and in this case on the farm doing the chores like cooking, cleaning, milking the cow and cutting wood. this is the 1930's. you have to cut wood for everything. as i mentioned earlier prince edward county was not interested in educating colored children but my grandmother and her sisters were persistent and found a school in the neighboring county of appomattox which was down the street from the courthouse where general robert e. lee s

the theater came under fire after a fraternity sponsored event drew way more than a capacity crowd. they closed the doors once they reached 630 people but as many as four times that amount remained outside in the street and things quickly got out of control. >>> weather wise, a relatively clear scenario on maryland's most powerful radar for the moment. we have seen showers earlier this evening. clouds coming in thick. the potential is there for a damp commute. gives yourself time in the morning, more shower activity through the afternoon and thunderstorms rumbling through the area as well. so an unsettled pattern, yes, and the possibility of showers again lingering into the morning commute. we'll talk about how fast this whole system eventually pushes out and what is behind it later this week. coming up. >>> in the news tonight, we take you to paterson mail room. big meeting at the rec center. the neighborhood says they put a lot of time and effort into turning the back into what it is today, a beautiful greenery. they are all against the 100 parking spots to expand the senior cente

">>>for fraternities and sorotities on campus, greek week is more than just celebrating school spirit. they are celebrating greek unity. some houses have been at san jose state for more than a hundred years, while others weren't even around to see the new milennium. it has proven difficult to get over 40 chapters to work together as one organization. diana rubio, student engagement coordinator: "you're talking about 10, 15, 20 members where some of them are a hundred so when it comes to doing socials or joint events at a smaller scale, it is harder to have unity i guess." greek organizations participate in only a handful of events over the course of the year. this one happens to coincide with homecoming week. (nat pop of students cheering during relay races) on monday, students ran relay races, balanced eggs, and showed their colors on the lawn outside the event center. they also signed up for a competition to decorate a house on greek row. kappa delta chair whitney smith was overseeing a group of seven different houses decorating alpha-tao-omega.
