	Berkeley is special!
		While the term Sproul Plaza is likely to conjure up images of history, democracy and activism, it has also seen its share of apathy, excess and just plain idiocy.
		But whether you consider Sproul your ideological fatherland, or just a tedious (and often unkempt) territory wedged in between school and the rest of your life, take a moment to savor the Sproul experience before embarking on your final departure from UC Berkeley.
		For a long time, Sproul Plaza was nothing more than passing entertainment for the eye, sequestered to the appropriate place in the back of my mind like some episode of Jerry Springer.

		Many of the activists on Sproul Plaza that day had been active in the movement against McCarthyism and its embodiment in the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
		Aptheker had arrived on campus two years after the HUAC protest, and she was on that plaza that day, Oct. 1, 1964, to set up a table for the W.E.B. Dubois Club, a prominent civil rights organization of the day with extensive ties to the Old Left.
		As the daughter of leading Marxist journalist Herbert Aptheker, long reviled by the FBI, she knew first-hand the repressive passions nurtured by Wisconsin Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy, and her childhood friendship with future African American organizer Angela Davis had deepened her sympathies with the rising demands for equality that were shaking the nation.
