Publisher's Synopsis
The Campus Sexual Rights Forum was an on-campus student organization at the University of California at Berkeley in the years 1966 and 1967. Being on-campus meant that it was officially registered in Sproul Hall as a student organization with me as the president. We were authorized to hold events on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. We did hold several such events. For example, famous attorney Melvin Belli gave a speech on the steps of Sproul Hall because of our sponsorship. Planned Parenthood made a presentation in one of the rooms on campus reserved for our use. The Campus Sexual Rights Forum was sponsor and I had organized the event. We also held a student dance in the Pauley Ballroom.
All of these events were advertised in the Daily Californian, the student newspaper, because of our sponsorship.
We also had a campus table where we distributed our literature advocating Sexual Freedom including legalized abortion and where we sold buttons and received donations to raise funds for our events. The picture on the cover here of this book shows one of our most dedicated members Joyce Kaskey sitting at our table at the entrance to the campus on Bancroft Avenue near the corner of Telegraph Avenue. This picture and others like it appeared in Time Magazine, Sexology Magazine and other publications.
There were articles about us in Playboy Magazine, Life Magazine, Time Magazine and other magazines around the world.
We were student revolutionaries. In the backdrop of all this was the great student revolutions of those years where we were at the cutting edge and on the forefront.
We also held 42 Nude parties and events off the campus. We had a bank account at the Bank of America branch on the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Durant. We had a PO box at the Berkeley Post Office. We regularly conducted mailings inviting our members and their guests to our parties.
