Oceanside Revolution - 4
Last of 4 parts:
For Social Change, Fair Play and Peace - Daily Nexus Online
Daniel and I were both honored to be on Dick Flack's CULTURE OF PROTEST (6-7pm every Thursday) public affairs program on KCSB the night of the 35th anniversary of the bank burning. It was, of course, great to talk about those days, but Daniel provided a refreshing element to the hour-long show by giving the view of those times and events from the perspective of UCSB students today... He did a great job with the 4-part series -- the best retrospective on the riots by the DAILY NEXUS in at least 20 years.

UCSB's 'Darkside'
Why are UCSB students always surprised to learn about the riots and the bank burning?
Why did UC want to shutdown these webfolks?
Could be the the same answer to both questions...

John MacPherson, R.I.P.
Mac was the kind of police chief we needed back in the riot days... He was a great guy...
Friends Mourn Loss of UCSB Police Chief - Daily Nexus Online

Chancellor Yang wrote this about Mac:
Dear Colleagues:
I am deeply saddened to share with you that our colleague and friend
John L. MacPherson, Jr. (better known to many of us as "Mac") passed
away at his home on January 14. He had been with the UCSB family for 33
years as an officer, sergeant, lieutenant, and Chief of Police.
Chief MacPherson will be remembered for his many extraordinary
accomplishments. He began his law enforcement career serving as an MP in
the United States Army during the Vietnam War. After three years at the
Salinas Police Department, John came to UC Santa Barbara in 1970,
becoming a sergeant in 1973 and a lieutenant in 1978. He then
transferred to the UC Davis Police Department. John returned to the UC
Santa Barbara Police Department in 1979. He was appointed the Acting
Chief of Police in 1985 and Chief of Police in 1987. John retired as
Chief of the UCSB Police Department in early 2004.
John was always "student friendly." He brought sensitivity, respect, and
sound judgment to every challenge he faced during his tenure here. In
the face of any difficult situation, he was a calming force. We were
fortunate to have his leadership and guidance of our Police Department.
John was well liked by our students, highly respected by his colleagues,
and loved by his friends. He will be greatly missed.
His memorial service will be held on Thursday, January 20, 2005. The
details are listed below.

MacPherson, Jr. Scholarship Fund, and mail it to:

John's lasting legacy here at UCSB is his dedication to the safety and

Our hearts go out to his wife, Cindy, and his sons, Matthew and Brian.
We are grateful to them for sharing John with us for so many years.
Sincerely,
