Issued by SLATE in 1960
SLATE was the first model for a number of similar campus political parties that came into existence in the next few years, including Platform at UCLA, Polit (early known as SRP) at the University of Chicago, FOCUS at Reed, SCOPE at San Francisco State, ACTION at Columbia, TASC and SPUR at San Jose State, THINK at the University of Oklahoma, Progressive Students League at Oberlin, DECLARE at UC Riverside, Independent Student Union in Los Angeles, SCOPE at the University of Illinois, and several others. Many of these organizations were assisted by members of SLATE and there were personal contacts between SLATE organizers and organizers at other campuses.
In May 1960 SLATE students helped organize and attended the Anti-HUAC demonstration outside San Francisco??s City Hall. The peaceful demonstration turned violent when police fire-hosed the demonstrators and arrested sixty-eight people, thirty-one of whom were UC Berkeley students. That same year the group was featured in California??s HUAC report on subversive activities. In December 1960 SLATE published a LP record about the HUAC hearings and demonstrations called "Sounds of Protest," narrated by Kenneth Kitch and Mike Tigar. While the record was not as popular as the film on the same topic, "Operation Abolition" it did cause the university embarrassment.
