Professor Jorge Mariscal, UCSD Literature Department
Dr. Mariscal will speak about the history of the San Diego campus from its founding in the late 1950s to the present. Why is UCSD in La Jolla and not San Diego? Why has it been so difficult for Black and Brown students to get access to UCSD even when affirmative-action policies were in place? What is the historical connection between UCSD and Department of Defense funding? Dr. Mariscal will pay special attention to the counter-history of radical and progressive movements at UCSD.
Since his humble beginnings playing on street corners for spare change, Jason Webley---with his trademark accordion, gravel voice and vodka bottle shaker---has gone on to build up a sizeable and cooperative cult following in his hometown of Seattle. In recent years this fan base has spread across much of the west coast and as far as Russia. Graduating from typical rock concerts, Webley's shows have evolved into one-of-a-kind theatrical performances.

Herbert's Hippopotamus
An intellectual in every respect, philosopher and teacher Herbert Marcuse came to America from Germany in 1966, spent thirteen years as a professor at UCSD, and became a prominent figure in the political community here. The film reviews Marcuse's significant role in the intellectual life at UCSD in a turbulent time.
Featuring some rarely seen archival footage---such as an incident depicting then-governor Ronald Reagan's pressures to retire Marcuse, and the American League's attempt to expel Marcuse from the city---Paul Alexander Juutilainen's film trails a pathway to discovery as we see Marcuse's political views become the focus and often target of public scrutiny.
Herbert's Hippopotamus won second prize at the 1997 Black Maria Film Festival.
