computer and then explain the
historical context in relation to
present time as efficiently as a
futuristic android.
He's quick to share his
knowledge.
For example, he said, there
are themes that run through the
years. One, ho said, is of pover
ty. The University never has
enough money. The other, ho
has observed, is student action.
The issues of the times
change, he said, but students'
rallying for the progressive
cause of the day has remained a
constant.
“'You people haven't
changed," he says authorita
tively. “The issues for the stu
dents in the 1920s were on the
front burner" just as they are
today.
But. ho said, the ROTC has
consistently been viewed nega
tively throughout the yoars.
“ROTC has never boon popu
lar on this campus," Richard
said. Then, doing what he's
good at, he spins fact with anal
ysis. "But wo ve produced
more generals than any other
ROTC unit in the United
States.”
Richard points out that "his"
archive is a little different than
other universities' archives. It
is, he said, more rcsemblant of
a museum.
in one filo cabinet is a drawer
labeled, "Personalities A-Cn "
One of the manilu folders in
side reads, “Louise Bryant."
Bryant was a student radical
who graduated in 190H.
After actor Warren Beatty
called in the late 1970s to gath
er information on her life for
the movie Rods, Richard said
ho made a file for hor. Uiane
Keaton played hor in the mov
ie.
Tho movie later prompted
Ms. Magazine to call Richard to
research Bryant's life further.
The magazine later published
an article usklng. "Did Diane
Kouton (live Us the Real Louise
Bryant? What 'Reds’ Didn't Toll
You."
There's the "tidbits" drawers
that contain files such us one
with information on every
black student athlete over to
play for the University.
One file contains all tho
names of all the student presi
dents. It notes the first females
— elected in 1944 and again in
1945 when there was a shortage
of men during World War II.
The next female to serve os
ASUO president wasn’t for an
other 32 years until 1977. She
was also the first black presi
dent. The first Latino, the file
indicates, was elected in 1979.
But the archives in Fenton
Hall is tho archives opon to the
public. Then! is oven more stuff
that peoplo can't see stored in
basomonts in othor buildings
on campus.
Ask Richard. "Llko what?"
Baseball uniforms from 192B,
ho says. "All wool."
