12/9/1964, Tri City Herald, Most Of Arrested Cal Students Rank Above Average Scholastically,
"Most of the 784 persons arrested in the sit-in at Sproul Hall on the University of California's Berkeley campus were students who rank well above average scholastically, a graduate student study contends. More than half of those arrested do not belong to any major political organizations, according to the report issued yesterday by a group of graduate political science students. THEIR REPORT, A 40-page history and analysis of the student Free Speech Movement at Berkeley also contends that most of the non students arrested Dec. 3 had "some clear identification with the campus community." Students who made up the report call themselves the fact-finding committee of graduate political scientists. They say their study was compiled from questionnaires, documents of the Free Speech committee and administration, and from personal observation."
Michael Rossman's Bibliography
Though most studies listed here are concerned only with participants, a few use participant studies as background for conflict analysis.
This list is not complete. If you know of other pertinent references, please tell us. Copies of their texts, as well as of those listed already, would save us some work. We'd particularly appreciate help in securing permissions to put these studies online.
