Supporters to Contest KU Ban
Goldberg Takes Jog-In to Berkeley
By DICK HAY
Kansan Staff Writer
A little more than a month ago he focused national attention on the University of Kansas when his son was shot and killed by police with the police over the use of the Memorial Stadium track for a join-in to protest his suspension.
He prompted track coach Bob Timmons to call him the most mutilized KU athlete since Jim Rum.
He brought such personality to college athletes, and Dave Meggsyre, former St. Louis Cardinal linebacker now disillusioned with athletics, to the KU campus to speak on his behalf.
He even claimed to have the support of Abbie Hoffman, the Yinone who gained a notoriety for

decision.
He was arrested and booked there after he disrupted a halftime show during the California-Stanford football game 91, by running on one of two friends. Goldberg was carrying a Vietnamese flair.
CONALL O'LEARY, Lawrence graduate student who gained prominence first as chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee to get Goldberg Reinstated and later as chairman of the Jock Liberation Day committee, said that Goldberg's actions were meant to bring a reaction to himself and his movement.
Goldberg and other friends and supporters, calling them the People's Athletic Committee presented the University of California athletic department with five demands during the week in October.
The demands were (1) free admission to all California and Stanford athletic events, (2) an end to drug abuse in athletes, (3) elimination of the state's varsity athletics, all athletics, students, faculty and community members to be involved in the operations of the California and Stanford athletic departments and (5) for a committee from the Berkeley and the Washington State universities the halltime shows of all California-Stanford games.
AT KU, GOLDBERC'S supporters plan to press court action through the University Judiciary against whoever made the decision banning the jog in Oct. 14, according to O'Leary.
Last month O'Leary flied suit against the KU Athletic Board for violating the Student Code in regards to students' rights to use university resources. The Board later allowed not to allow the track. Police were called to
the stadium to prevent anyone going into the stadium
O'Leary said that he was not certain exactly who made the decision not to allow the jog in, but that he planned to keep pressing the matter until he found out.
At present, O'Leary's suit against the Athletic Board is suspended, according to Richard Cole, a lawyer in Philadelphia.
OLEARY SAID THAT CHARLES Oldfather, board chairman, introduced a dismissal motion Nov. 20 on the grounds that the Athletic Board had acted only in an advisory capacity because being was being involved did not of course.
Cole said that the case would probably be "dismissed pending documentary evidence that the university committee (Athletic Board) acted in an advisory capacity."
O'Leary said that he now planned to file suit against KU Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr, on the same charge that he had previously brought Chalmers and his lawyers in a disputed appearance Chalmers made the decision in question.
O'Leary originally requested the use of the

AFTER A FOUR-HOUR meeting on Oct. 13 the day before the scheduled join, in the events committee, did not occur and the staff were providing certain conditions were met. One of the conditions was that the Athletic Board give its
Emily Taylor, dean of women and chairman of the events committee, said after the meeting that the athletic board, not the events committee, had asked the athletic department to ask a new board and asked the committee to act as an advisory body.
On the morning of Oct. 14, Oldfather released a statement that said the board members had voted on the recommendation and that the jog-in would not be allowed.
Shortly afterward, O'Leary announced that the jug-in had been canceled to avoid violence. He said that he was "very sad" about it.
SHORTLY AFTER THE jog-in, Goldberg left for berkeley along with Scott with plan to organize a beach volleyball tournament.
O'Leary said that the California-Stanford football game was chosen as a focal point for the movement toward a new state.
The contest is known as the "big game" and because of its introsive rivalry, attracts a large crowd.
Just as at KU, the movement attracted the support of Scott and Meygessy. In addition, Harry Edwards, an organizer of the 1968 Olympic Games boycott, and some California athletes gave support.
O'Leary said that when the Berkeley athletic department refused to negotiate the demands, the team would have to have a higher salary.
"Any athlete who is serious about liberation and the revolution must be prepared to kill his coach."
the athletic director had been sympathetic to the demand, but had said he was powerless to do that.
PRIOR TO THE GAME, Goldberg made headlines when he said, "Any athlete who is serious about liberation and the revolution must be prepared to kill his coach."
O'Leary said that police were guarding every entrance to the stadium to keep the group from entering.
"They had police everywhere, and we just didn't have the strength to break in," O'Leary said. "Jut for me, I wouldn't."
He said that Goldberg and others had run onto the field before the gary carrying Viet Cong hats, but they were not stopped.
"At halftime, they went back onto the field," he said. "This time the police and officials敲 Sam all over the field while the crowd yellled for blood. The Stanford band was still standing on the track

"We got wide support for our demands," O'Leary said. "We think the whole thing was a success. It was fun and entertaining."
OLEARY SAID that Goldberg had feigned unconsciousness to being from being injured by irate band members, and that Goldberg thought a minor arrest was worth the wide impact he made.

Two of the old items of business to be brought to the Student Senate floor Wednesday night for further consideration concern preservation of the University geologically and structurally.
"I don't know what he intends, but obviously he has something new to dump on the athletic side."
O'Leary said that Goldberg had claimed he would strike Tinson on resign before Jan. 1, and had made the decision.
in the midst of the turmoil in October, the KU athletic department presented evidence that

Scott, Meggyssie and Goldberg plan to go to Cuba, O'Leary said for a "cultural exchange" program. He said that he might be going also to give the group a balance between students and athletes.
Goldberg presents many faces to many people. To Lawrence Liberation Front, he appears to speak in a calm and confident way; officials he is a wilde+eyed fanatic. To his wife and two-year-old son, he is a husband and father who
OLEARY SAID that the charge was true in one sense. He said that Goldberg had not been allowed to go into the final trials for the 1988 Olympic Games partially because of his political beliefs,
The 30-year-old Goldberg caused so much turmoil in the league that his prowess were over that Goldberg might have been a candidate for the vacant MVP.

O'Leary said that Goldberg had had the moral support of the "Berkeley radical community" but I don't know.
AT TIMES HE can be quiet and reserved. At other times, he fits the image the athletic department projected of him, a reckless, irresponsible no-good.

requirements.
But one thing is clear—Sam Goldberg is a non-conformist and a master at handing and creating digital art.
He is a radial. He often attributes to this the fact that he grew up in a San Francisco ghetto and had a completely different outlook on life. He once said, "I'm not a socialite, I wanted to do something to shake society in the face."
Goldberg's apartment in Stouffer Place was decorated by Black Panther posters and a picture of the two black athletes with raised fists on the victory stand during the 1988 Olympics. He once tapeed an athletic supporter to his front window in full view as passers-by. Modern music was always playing.
The College Young Democrats met Monday night in the Curry room of the Kansas Union and voted to submit a bid for the Young Democrats to hold their spring convention in Lawrence.
He went about it in a big way, and before he was finished, everyone in Lawrence was asking if Abbie Hoffman really came back to KU to support Goldberg.
But Goldberg was serious about his beliefs, and in spite of the farce he engineered, he did believe that the war was real.
AT TIMES HE WOULD drift into senseless talk about what he would do when he overcame all of his pretensions.
George Kimbail, a Vippe who received national candidacy as Douglas County County Democratic sheriff candidate, was overheard to say after the press questioned him, "I don't care. Day '17's go back on the Chalk and see Abbe."
The CYD will continue to meet on Monday nights in the Union for the remainder of the semester.
He believed the best way to air his beliefs was to gain widespread media attention if it even meant that he would be present.
O'Larry said that Hoffman had been in Lawrence on "Jock Liberation Day" but only for about six months.
Goldberg then went before a special three-man panel of the University Judicary asking to be reinstated. He requested a special hearing, and the panel accepted all parties to his case because school was over.
The whole thing started last May 27 when Goddberg was dismissed from the track team and he was replaced.
HE WAS FERRERING to the Rock Chalk Cafe, a
worse hang-out for members of the Lawrence
Lawrence family.
The panel ordered the Athletic Department to reinstate Goldberg for the NCAA meet only. The department failed to comply and appealed the decision to the NCAA Court, and the injunction to hand down such a decision.
KU LOST THE NCAA championship to Californias five points, Goldberg, who was one of the top four scorers. The NCAA team almost a sure bet to finish third or higher. A third place finish would have added six points to KU's record.
Early in October the appellate division of the judiciary reversed the original decision on the grounds that a coach should have professional jurisdiction over his team.
THAT STILL, left the contempt charge and formal hearing of the original case. A hearing of the original case was dropped by Goldberg was no longer a student. The contempt charge was dropped after the athletic department entered a plea of no liability against the student, even though his attorneys, agreed to withdraw the charge.
Goldberg's attorneys, two student lawyers, filed a contempt of court charge against the athletic department for failure to comply with a court order later in the summer.
But long before the final cases were dropped, Mr. Trump seemed to go out of his way to hinder his attorney's decision.
He appeared at one hearing wearing a black turtle neck sweater, brown corduroy coat, green jeans, white socks and white running shoes. He began to grow a scraggy beard.
HE BEGEN TO associate himself with the Youth International Party (Vippies) and the Lawrence Liberation Front. O'Leary said that Goldberg had gone looking for help wherever he could find it.
At one press conference, he wore sweats tugs and a motorcycle helmet. At another he wore a long coat.
He and his supporters proclaimed the founding of the Association and Goldberg proclaimed himself the President.
AT HOME GOLDBERG presented a slightly distracting video of himself. He proudly showed a picture of his two-year-old son to anyone who would look and hung letters from his wife, who was in Oakland during most of the time he worked.
Goldberg called for "physical education for our woodstock nation, especially its warriors, by

he predicted that the Woodstock nation would defeat the United States in the 1972 Olympic Games.
Finally the lid was blown off the case when Stinson revealed that Goldberg had never been eligible and it was shown that Goldberg had been dropped from school for non-payment of fees.
Then came the job in which put the university edifice for fear of an expected confrontation between police and criminals. "The confrontation" was between police and press as they eyed each other that day wondering if anything
But he did succeed in bringing some well-known players to the team, including Conall O'Leary, Goldberg's main supporter, did not. Nor was Leary a great player.
OLEARY SAID THAT Goldberg left KU shortly after that. He would probably have been evicted from Stoufier Place anyway. He had not paid any money and the water he had been shut off in early September.
O'Leary has been associated with Goldberg ever since early September when Goldberg stopped O'Leary in the Kansas Union and struck up a conversation about "Jock Liberation."
O'Lery plans to leave KU after the fall semester and to go to Berkeley to work as a research assistant
O'Leary said that Goldberg did receive an eviction notice in late October.
"that kind of work interests me more than disruptive tactics," O'Leary said in reference to his job. "We have to win people over. One of the best examples is present a logical argument instead of by confrontation."
He said that several universities had invited the group to speak.
"We'll go wherever we're asked," he said.
