The AASU leadership participation on the strike lines improved but was still unreliable. This partially explains why the media focused their attention on me, Ysidro Macias, LaNada Means, Richard Aoki; and Jim Nabors, the former president of the AASU. But the heart and soul of the strike was the AAPA. They were the best organized, hardest working and most committed to the common struggles of the Third World. The names and faces I will never forget are Richard Aoki, Alan Fong, Floyed Huen, Jeff Leong, Stan Abe, Steve Wong, Jean Quan, Vicci Wong, Harvey Dong, Belvin Louie, Lillian Fabros, Frank Celada, Bruce Occena and Emil Gusman.

Police Battle Students Linked in Human Chains at Berkeley
BERKELEY (UPI)-Club-swinging police charged repeatedly Thursday into student dissidents forming human chains at entrances of  the UC Berkeley campus.
  Twelve persons were arrested including strike leaders Manuel Delgado and Ysidro Macias of  the Third Word Liberation Front.
  About 150 protestors  snakedanced  through several buildings, breaking  about 50 windows, both outside and in classroom  doors, and disrupting classes. They also knocked over a large bronze  bust in the entrance of   Wheeler Hall, splitting its marble pedestal.
  Police followed the dissidents through the buildings, but did not arrest any of them.
  But they did arrest 12 persons for obstructing campus entrances. They charged into crowds of pickets five times
-twice before the window breaking spree and three times after it. The mid-afternoon charges by about 90 California Highway Patrolmen came after students blocked Sather Gate in the center of campus and the main Bancroft-Telegraph entrance.
   About 75 pickets linked arms to form human chains at the Bancroft-Telegraph entrance
   When a squad of  Alameda County sheriff’s  deputies approached, the protestors disbanded. They then regrouped at Sather Gate and formed another  chain.
  The deputies moved in  again and tried to arrest Delgado. He resisted and was clubbed to the ground. Strikers began swinging and screaming at the deputies, who retaliated with blows from their clubs. Macias briefly escaped officers
pursuing him but was cornered when he resisted. Both strike leaders were taken into Sproul Hall, apparentl unconscious. Four others were arrested in the the schuffle.
   The striking students reformed at Bancroft-Telegraph and clinked arms again.
   About 30 California Highway Patrolmen formed a wedge and charged into the crowd, chasing the students into the streets
   The protestors, their ranks swelled to about 300 persons, then regrouped at Sather Gate and formed a circular picket line, allowing nonstrikers to use the bridge begind the gate. They later formed three serpentine lines for marches around the campus.
