so there had been 25 to 30 years since she was at the university of kansas. and emily taylor sort of had a persona in kansas. people knew who she was and there was this piece about it. so i took the map of the interviews and i spent a very long time in the archives. and most of the examples i shared with you actually came out of the archives because i'm not sure my exact interpretation of what happened would be the way any one of the people i interviewed would explain the activities, because i do think there is, as greg talked about, a change in how we talk about things. we start to create a narrative around what it meant and your own personal role in that, which is a very interesting topic, from the point of view of history. you also need to track through the activities from various points of view. and that's where i think archival documents in conversation with oral history are so important because otherwise you get a disjointed sort of view. so thank you for your question. >> let's go right there in front -- dark sweater, yes. you. >> thank you very much. i

at the university of kansas." kelly? >> thank you, barbara, and thank you all for coming and being here so early on a friday morning. we appreciate it. the work i'm presenting today comes from my dissertation, so i'm going to follow my text pretty closely, because if i don't, i could talk for 5 hours and not 20 minutes. so thank you. today i'd like to talk about the long '60s as they appeared on the university of kansas. and then contemplate what this one campus might tell us about history and memory of the '60s. and the women's movement in particular. our common memory of the '60s tends to center on the late 1960s and the early 1970s. imagery of the time period on college campuses includes the vietnam war protests, drug culture, violence, black power and women's liberation as students were pictured as pushing unwilling campus administrators to release traditional cultural norms that governed student lives. the stories which i'm sharing today will show some of the impulses for student activism at university of kansas were

mueller, the day after the shootings, he didn't belong to ksu but was a university of akron alum. the day after the shootings we took a bus to columbus and tried to make a citizen's arrest of governor rhodes. there were also accounts from students who were actually in the line of fire such as this one here. it's kind of hard to see in the back there. but catherine delattre, one of the students i interviewed, she's being pushed out of the line of fire by her boyfriend in the background there. that's a better view of her. glen frank was able to calm the students down, defuse the situation and probably save a lot of lives that day. the two national guardsmen offered very diverse interpretations of these events. one, j. reynold schneider, who was a captain who led a company on may 4 that day, his company was not involved in the actual shootings. but he bristled at the suggestion that the guard was unprepared for riot training for this kind of event. another guardsman, art crumel also said they had very little riot training in the kind that the campus state presented. he was haunted by

the governor of kansas declared the university would remain open. parents and quite frankly many students panicked, and as one integral staffer recalled, the top administration seemed to freeze. into this void stepped the network of women that taylor and her staff had developed. a female graduate student suggested to taylor they initiate an information hotline for students, faculty and parents. taylor agreed to set up the 24-hour phone line in her office using her phone number so students and faculty could report incidents and also test and find out about the veracity of rumors. as a result, the staff could also find out about potential unrest and try to defuse it before it happened. for instance, when 300 students disintegrated on the military science building, rocks in hand, a number of taylor's young staffers were there. the staffers wound through and calmly asked the protesters for rocks which they actually would give to them. we ended up with enough rocks for a small doghouse remembered an assistant dean of women. eventually one of these women s

that is crucial to the university's financing plan. fans pay 40 to $240,000 for the rights to the best seats in the house. the get those rights for 50 years and the cast does not have to be paid up front and the contracts can be canceled and anytime. so far the fund has just over $35 million of cash on hand in a total of 145 million in seeking contracts to be paid overtime. a far cry from what is needed state finance experts. >>> at this point being 15 percent there in terms of cash in the bank and half way there ate everything comes out of a planned debt is really very scary. >>> in 2009 the university said all the money was needed to generate enough revenue to cover the bills. but now with just over 60 percent of the seas under contract to maintain that they're hitting their financial targets. >>> we have no financial issue for at least the next 26 years. in the school's academic senate says there's no money trouble for now adding there will be plenty of time to cut programs or raise more money if needed but a wait-and-see approach is

owned by the university earlier this month, many arrested for trespassing. they had been farming the land since april 22nd upset with possible development there among other issues. the university warned them they would have to leave. the university needed the land back for research and education but this morning one activist told us he thinks this is really just meant to intimidate the occupy movement. >> it's about fear. you know. they want to scare people so that then people don't try something like that again. the most interesting part is that it's not targeted at people who are there, it's targeted at future people. >> reporter: the university says that this occupation really got in the way of the researchers trying to work there, they say they tried to have a dialogue but didn't work out. it's also seeking damages for the cost, things like attorneys fee t cost of the officers in helping out, the security. one university spokesman told me by phone that they offered it to drop the suit if the activists left on their own but they didn't. christie smith, nbc

the poll university and myself reach a settlement this is the poll universe the state. today we are breached the resolution of our dispute with professor finkelstein. as a part of that resolution he has agreed to resign effective immediately. professor finkelstein is a prolific scholar and an outstanding teacher the university thanks him thank you thank you thank the university thank him for his contributions and his service. i know a great deal about the finkelstein tenure case because the paul asked me to write a letter on finkelstein which i did and then i followed the case very closely from start to finish and i think this is an open and shut case i think that finkelstein should have gotten ten year he's not a teacher he's a propagandist he's not a scholar he simply writes screeds the scandal was that paul university ever appointed him in the first place they appointed him because hard left professors who didn't care at all about his lack of scholarship just like his ideological. radicalism and lowered the standards to appoint him so it was a good decision to deploy

john will propose something called the dependent universe in which we can't have the laws of nature, universe unless there are observers, which makes you wonder if they're in the web servers, if we disappear from the scene, there is no longer any observers, will there be a history of the universe anymore and it's a very interesting question. but it does play the same way of thinking come in the top-down of thinking. now, whenever i finish the draft of the book, i have met has been rated because my husband has sealed its global studies. he's not a scientist, but he is a good example of the target audience really from my book unintelligent people who are scientists. he claims that he can understand it, anybody can, but is guided exact. but he read the close of the book i'm aware quoted stephen hawking is saying something that is still a child who has never grown up, still asking how unwise question and occasionally finding an answer to satisfy him. my husband read that occasionally finding an answer that satisfies them and pinon for a while. at night that yes, you left out in the book.

the whole universe, it turns out the idea of gravity underlies our thinking about the universe. you guys hear about the big bang theory? the idea that about 14 to 20 billion years ago the whole universe was in one point and exploded out, all flying out. let's look at that in terms of the gravity bit here. let's suppose, here's the big bang and all these pieces are flying. now let's suppose that we knock the whole universe into four halves just to make the thinking easy. if we can understand the simple examples then maybe we can deal with complexities. here's part of the universe here, here's part of the universe here, part of the universe here and all are flying apart. there's nothing else that exist just this and there they go. any force of attraction between these phases? how many say, yeah? it turns out this would be attracted to here, this would be attracted to here, be attracted to here and all these will act as if what? it'll all act right back down there and this would act back down there. therefore, these things would be going against a gravitational force. if that's true

copernicus is here holding the model of the universe. and on the rocky can barely see it, but read center mall of the universe, and it's held by figures that are labeled ptolemy and aristotle. it's written that as a scientific disquisition but written not in latin but in italian dedicated to the grand duke with permissions to publish from the vatican and from sensors in rome and florence. he says this is a dialogue. it's all hypothetical. the pope had requested, but it is written between three characters, a simple-minded man who doesn't even understand his own arguments. he defends aristotle. so galileo in this book argues for copernicus in no uncertain terms. it's anything but hypothetical. so when this book was published, the pope was angry that galileo had broken his promise. calais as enemies joined together and the result was this trial. this is the bookie was put on trial for. this also is a copy that contains his own handwriting. here we have a new sentence to go before this speech. there are many other marginal nutations as well.

newton's ideas were revolutionary, an entirely new way of thinking about the universe. after all, he showed us how we can use the mathematics of differential equations to predict the future. differential equations as a mathematical crystal ball. let's look at a simple example. suppose we have an object x traveling around an object y solely under the influence of gravity. then we know exactly where x will be in space 10 seconds or even 10,000 years from now. newton's theory efficiently described the interactions of what we would call a two-body system, answering the question: what occurs when the forces of two masses affect each other? now, we see the power of these ideas some 200 years later with the advent of more powerful telescopes. at that time, astronomers noticed that some planets were not following the perfect, newtonian elliptical orbits, especially the planet uranus, so they theorized that its orbit must have been upset by some other body, and then using differential calculus, they were able to actually calculate the orbit of an unknown orb. the mathematicians s

about music were intricately connected to their mathematical and philosophical description of the universe: how the planets, the sun and the stars vibrated in harmony, creating a "music of the spheres." in the ensuing 2,000 years, we've learned that this connection between math and music, whether mystical or not, is all about waves. sound is simply a disturbance of air, as pythagoras observed, a vibration, but as we now understand, a vibration that extends through space in the form of a wave. the initial disturbance can be caused by anything, and that anything is called an oscillator, like a vibrating string. but like ripples on a pond, the sound wave spreads when molecules in the air are disturbed and themselves begin to vibrate. the vibrating air molecules, in turn, bump into other nearby molecules, causing air pressure to compress and expand. this changing air pressure creates alternating waves that extend from the source of vibration. if a person is in the path of the sound wave and then the wave enters the ear, it's rapidly processed and recognized by the brain as sound. there are man

and so we find out in the universe as we understand it in the 20th century, you can't do that. at least with material particles there is a speed limit, the speed of light. so you get that down. one of the important parts of relativity is this. before we understood relativity, we understood that the human race, no matter how sophisticated they became couldn't travel very far in space. and the reason is simple enough. the center of our galaxy for example is 20,000 light years away. it takes 20,000 years for light itself to go from the center of our galaxy to us. and our galaxy is nothing compared to the expanse of the whole universe. so how are you gonna be going through the universe when you can't even get to your galaxy, it's not gonna take you 20,000 years. if you're traveling at high, high speed, you might get there in 5 minutes. and if you travel at the speed of light, how far away would it be from a speed of light frame of reference. what's the distance between things. i remember leon russell used to sing that song, "i love you in a place where there's no space and time. i

they're like the university of california, the university of michigan, the university of tennessee, university of connecticut. and if we cut, cut, cut, cut that government-sponsored research and the quality of those universities, our job growth won't be nearly as good in future. here's another example of how much that has changed over the years. 30 years ago in tennessee, the state paid 70% of the costs of of -- of a student to attend a state university and the student paid 30%. and we had an implicit agreement between the government and the student and we said, if we increase your tuition, we'll increase by the same percent the state contribution. so we kept it at about 70% and 30% and it made it possible for a lot of students to go to college. what is it today? it's 30% and 70%. it's upside-down. 30% of the support for public colleges and universities comes from the state government and 70% comes from the students. and why is that? the fact is, mr. president, the main reason is federal hg -- federal health care mandates that put an unrealistic amount of money on top of states and it's about

now, all of this was happening as i applied to the university of georgia. i don't think it was necessarily the school desegregation stuff at that point. when i entered in '61, it was the first successful desegregation of higher education at that point in the south. and robert kennedy came to my college, university of georgia, i desegregated in january of '61, as the desegregation order was given by a white republican judge, william boodle, and kennedy came in may of '61 to speak at the law day ceremony. and by this time, there had been a consciousness -- the consciousness of the administration had been raised to a certain extent. so the state representatives, none of the top officials of georgia would attend, because they were afraid of what bobby kennedy was going to say. and so here i was, one of two black students on the campus of 20,000, who had rioted when we went into the university, but that calmed down after about three days. we didn't have to have ernie's troops come in. so kennedy comes -- is coming, and i'm saying, i really want to hear what he ha

but it's true the university can make a great deal of money. very successful universities. unfortunately, bonanza it does not filter down to people. the people who don't need money that need effective treatments they can afford. so we could repeal which i propose the night the pair but i'm pretty sanguine. i'm not thinking that's going to happen anytime soon. i realize it may not happen at all that would be a good start. i think sometimes are so afraid of not being progressive, not going forward. there's this nigerian proverb and a concept is called sand co. and what it says it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten. in this case we have forgotten something. an ideal to make money we have forgotten patients at the center. it would be a very good idea to basically assess a divorce between corporations and universities. now that may not have been, probably not going to happen. so what. so what should we do? we should do what i suggested. the government should divert very serious pressure on pharmaceutical companies. they should first exert pressure -- first

c-span: what has that done to the universities? guest: well, it's exacerbated the tenure problem. in fact, many people who say to me why get rid of tenure, why not just reinstitute mandatory retirement? what you have on campus now is a lot of aging baby boomer professors who are not really doing their job very well, and they're just kind of waiting until their 401(k) gets big enough that they feel comfortable retiring, and every time the market takes a hit they're like, ah, just one more year, i'll stick it out. so it's a problem, and i certainly see how mandatory retirement could solve that in some sense. but i, i'm very reluctant to go that way. i mean, i had some great professors who were 70 years old. i think -- i shouldn't say but, certainly, harvey mansfield is well over 70 now, and many of my professors that i had at the time were certainly well over 65. they had great experience teaching, and they happened to be good teachers after that. so why should we arbitrarily kick them out just because some people at that age decide
