Roll 19717329, cont.: UC Riverside (1972)

In May 1972, students across the country and at all of the UC and California state college campuses went on strike to protest the bombing of North Vietnam. I was managing newspaper production, so my photos were strictly casual. These negatives were found rather dirty and stuffed into a single envelope with the word "STRIKE" written in grease pencil.

One: A strike meeting in the Associated Students office.

Why I'm not losing sleep over the prospect of a data center nearby.

Morgan Stanley has found few takers for the Project Blitz bonds despite roughly doubling the yield they will pay, the debt fund managers said."

One day early in the academic year, a man from the larger community burst into the office and threatened us with death, and since I was the only editor present at the moment, that meant me. The campus police hauled him off, but for the rest of the year, I slept with a 9mm Browning semiauto close at hand, on loan from our friendly local drug dealer.

When I say that the Highlander was a "radical feminist paper" in 1971-72, I'm not kidding. For example, page 18 of this issue:

https://calisphere.org/item/ark:/86086/n2zg6vm5/

(You have to download the pdf for the whole issue to see this.)

It was my job to copy edit every article we published and to change every pronoun to gender-neutral form. Every one. For a year.

As you might imagine, this point of view was not universally appreciated.

Summary: Highlander photog 1967-69; dropped out 1969-70; good-boy philosophy major 1970-71. Then a bunch of my friends took over the student council and elected one of us, Willa Rabinovich, editor of the paper. She appointed me managing editor, and we turned it into a radical feminist publication, precipitating an all-out war with UCR administration. What a year.

Here's Willa, working in her office.

Our short cruise on Cayuga Lake continues. The lake is quite a substantial body of water, almost 39 miles (63 km) long and 435 feet (133 meters) deep at its deepest point, with over 95 miles (153 km) of shoreline. If the Teal kept going to the top of the lake, it could either turn right to go to the Atlantic Ocean or turn left to travel down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

One: Taking a plankton sample. The Teal is also a research vessel.

My daughter is a professor of classics, so we had an enjoyable talk on the way back.

They went for a summer trip to France and were killed in a car crash. I had already learned that caregivers could suddenly disappear, and now I found out that dear friends could, too. I never really got over this.

Well, there's nothing unusual about a company forming a standard around its existing technology. Of course, its reliance on stablecoin is concerning, but What bothers me is what's not mentioned: royalties. "x402 is free for the customer and the merchant—just pay nominal payment network fees." Of course, "nominal" is a red flag, but beyond that, no mention of RAND or costs for the party that implements another (competitive) payment network.

The drive from Riverside to Berkeley was one of the longest rides I've ever taken in my life.

Roll 19690041: Riverside (ca. 1971)

Nowadays co-op groceries are places you go to pay outrageous prices for food that won't actually kill you. But originally they were clubs where hippies banded together to buy stuff in bulk quantities. Here's what ours looked like.

One: The entrance, featuring Mr. Natural. See alt text for the writing on the sign at far right (visible in another frame).

Roll 19690044: Riverside (1969)

Here we come to a turning point in my story. I have just left school and started living with Melanie in a hippie hangout on Comer Street called Comer House. A block party has been formed by renting a keg and inviting everyone who can see it to join in. This is a pretty good cross section of the folks among whom we would be living for the next several years.

One. See alt text for more commentary.

Roll 19690039: Blue Jay (?) (1969?)

The first shot is of my sister Robin, who looks about right for 1969. We're probably visiting our Mom's place in the mountains (she was the one who had cats). But all this is a total guess.

Roll 19690029: UC Riverside (1967)

I think that these two photos from early 1967 were my first attempts at creating "art." We had just acquired a 28mm lens for the Minolta, and I was fascinated by the effects I could get from it. Both pictures were taken in the Commons restroom located near the darkroom.

One: The old ghost trick.

Here's another shot of me in action at this time, probably taken by the same yearbook photographer. This is actually a mirror image; the yearbook editor flopped the neg to suit the layout.

Roll 196769a22 (but not taken by me): UC Riverside (1968)

A shot of yours truly in full "ubiquitous photographer" mode, taken by one of the yearbook staff. The camera is my second "good" one, a Nikon S2 rangefinder; the lens is the Nikkor 35mm f/3.5. Here, I'm focusing; to frame the shot, I'll have to switch to the auxiliary viewfinder on top.

This roll isn't mine, and I don't know how I ended up with it.

The family that I have left is just my daughter (and granddaughter, but she's only 3). When Clara was born in 1985 I switched to 35mm color negs for everything and just had them drugstore processed, so she has a couple of dozen big albums full of prints to look at already!

Roll 1992-fuji-02: Sunnyvale and Paso Robles (ca. 1992)

The last three rolls in the stack of 120 negatives that I decided to get out of the way recently were taken on some 400 speed Fuji color film. This one documents my daughter beginning to lose her baby teeth. As with all the others, I've never seen these pictures before.

One: A front tooth goes.
