New University Archives Collection Documents Implementation of UC's Master Plan
By Janice Schulz
There have been many times in the past thirty years when the campus community swore that “UC” actually stood for “Under Construction.” Indeed, since the Campus Master Plan was developed in 1991 with the planning assistance of San Francisco design firm Hargreaves Associates, we have been dodging orange cones, construction tape, and dirt piles in the quest for a campus that would enhance the educational value of the University.
The UC unit responsible for carrying out the Master Plan and for managing the physical environment of the University is the office of Planning+Design+Construction. Headed by the University Architect, Planning+Design+Construction handles capital and renovation projects, space management, environmental graphics, sustainability, real estate, and construction for all UC campuses.

T. M. Berry Project: The 1949 Election
By Laura Laugle
It seems that smear campaigns fueled by fictitious rumors are nothing new to politics. Of course, most have known this to be true for quite some time. In fact, politicians in ancient Greece began pulling the proverbial wool about five minutes after the words demos and cratos were combined, but here we have one more piece of evidence to add to the already mountainous pile.

Volunteer readers may choose a selection from a variety of readings compiled by the event committee or choose your own short reading by a favorite African American author. A short list of reader instructions will be sent out once volunteers have been determined. You may choose a reading by stopping by the Writing Center in Muntz 112I (745-5733). Materials are also available in the RWC Library and can be found on display in the Reference section.
Frank Lloyd Wright on Suicide Watch!
By Kevin Grace
Well, not really. One of the great things about working with archives is finding a jewel now and then that casts a light on an event or situation, or illuminates more fully the character of someone famous. The letter you see here provides one of those glimmering moments. In the Archives & Rare Books Library, we hold the records and documents of the Contemporary Arts Center, a great institution and a prime exhibitor of modern art in the United States. In fact, it was founded in 1939 as the Modern Art Society, and its exhibitions over the decades have featured groundbreaking and provocative art from Moholy-Nage and the Bauhaus movement to Jasper Johns and Jim Dine. The controversial showing of Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs in 1990 still draws worldwide research and attention. Continue reading
