22 The Free Speech Movement (FSM) was a student protest which took place during the 1964–1965 academic year on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley under the informal leadership of students Mario Savio, Michael Rossman, Brian Turner, Bettina Aptheker, Steve Weissman, Art Goldberg, Jackie Goldberg, and others. In protests unprecedented in scope, students insisted that the university administration lift the ban of on-campus political activities and acknowledge the students' right to free speech and academic freedom.

23  Students were raising money for civil rights groups when only fund raising for the democrats or republicans was allowed.  When Jack Weinberg refused to show his student ID card he was arrested and placed in a police car. Up to 3,000 students surrounded the police car which remained stationery for 32 hours  The faculty staff had been required to swear an oath of allegiance which some of them questioned...would this influence their ability to teach freely?  On December 2 nd 1964 between 1,500 and 4,000 students took part in a sit-in to try and persuade the university to lift it’s restrictions on political activities. 800 students were arrested. This lead to another sit in a month later that almost shut the university down.

24  In January 1965 the new chancellor at Berkeley allowed political activites  This was seen as the beginning of student activism

25  What three things did students at university demand?  What methods did the SDS use?
