Despite overcast skies and intermittent rain, several thousand people were at the airport to welcome Nixon and thousands more stood at intersections and business areas along his 16-mile motorcade routes. Nixon, in a raincoat, stood in his car with Brock and Winfield K. Dunn, the GOP nominee for governor, to wave to the crowds.

Nixon recalled in his Johnson City speech the early morning hospital visit, and said he needs men like Brock in the Senate to help enact crime-fighting legislation. "Everybody's against he said. "The question is when are you against it, and what are you going to do about it?"

McHenry has issued "implentary rules" for UCSC, indicating "restrictions on the use of university resources and facilities for political activities" as instructed by University President Charles Hitch. Guidelines are set down in an informal letter addressed to "members of the UCSC community" and distributed to students, faculty, staff, and administrators this week. McHenry warns: "Pressures are converging that could destroy the freedom without which no insitution would deserve the name of university." The UCSC regulations, prepared specifically for this campus, follow Hitch's stringent directive that "the university or any of its offices or units shall not be used for or in connection with political purposes or activities." The UCSC campus regulations are framed by McHenry as two principles: "First: No individual surrenders his civil liberties by accepting employment or studying at the university. Second: The university is not a political institution. No member of the university community has a right to speak in the name of the university on political matters, Every member of the university community should seek to distinguish his personal position from that of the university, which is and must be neutral on political These principles, along with Hitch's more drastic guidelines, "should guide us and those outside our own university community who are troubled by the rapid changes in society and the response of the university to them," McHenry commented.

An ophthalmologist, level, reflect the response of the University's Board of Regents to last spring's national During the strike over the Cambodian incursion, students and faculty many schools "redirected" their time and efforts to various kinds of political acitivity.

The new rules are intended to prevent or "reconstitution." UCSC did not experience "reconstitution" of the kind that the Regents found improper. (Some campuses, notably Berkeley, saw cancellation of some regular classes.) Students and faculty at UCSC did "redirect" time and energy to a wide variety of community-oriented activities, ranging from informational leafleting and door-to-door canvassing to "town-and-gown teas" in Santa Cuz homes. UCSC students and faculty also spend several weeks in Washington as a part of a large national student lobby over the Cambodian issue. The Washington delegation consisted of as many as 75 volunteer lobbyists who took time from their classwork to visit the capital. Almost without exception, however.

UCSC professors ed their spring classes according to academic regulations. Hitch's university-wide guidelines, to which memo is a supplement, provide for a rigidly neutral posture on the part of the University. Some of the more sweeping new regulations provide that "University equipment, supplies, and services duplicating machines, telephones, vehicles, stationery shall not be used for political purposes or activities. No display or distribution of political materials, such as posters, notices, handbills, and banners, shall be permitted ex cept as specifically authorized by campus regulations."
