Campus by the Sea - UC Santa Barbara in the 1960s 

That's the year I started there, and I heard some of those speakers. There were only maybe four or five thousand students back then, so we usually had small classes. I don't recognize anyone in this film though. Cactus Jack Curtis was the football coach, a really friendly guy, but I don't recall that the team won very often. My sister studied at UCSB a few years later, during the often violent anti-VN War protests, when a bombing killed the caretaker of the faculty club and the Bank of America branch in Isla Vista was torched, along with several other buildings. A student was also shot and killed by the police. It got so wild that Governor Reagan ordered a curfew and the National Guard was ordered to patrol the campus. My sister decided to leave after her junior year and finished her BA elsewhere. I'd forgotten how we dressed back then. It all seems like ancient history now. :)

Didn’t they have a population cap that was lifted in the 80’s. I seem to remember my Father saying that .

There was a moratorium on new water hookups that kept population growth down. When that was lifted, growth took off. I left in ‘83, but grew up in SB. Very different now.

Debra Northart I grew up there born at Goleta hospital in 76. My mom moved to Oregon in 86 so I lived part time with her and part time with my dad in Santa Barbara. My dad owned a business by la Cumbria plaza. I went to la colina Jr high and San Marcos. My grandmothers went to the same schools. I go to visit family these days but they are all leaving as well. Two of My uncles were sherifs in the 80’s.i recently went to Goleta beach and a lot of the shores are washed away almost to the restaurant. The restaurant at Henry’s beach closed. I still love it there but cannot afford it.

class of '85! go gauchos.

There weren't many minority students back in the early and mid 1960s, a sprinkling of Asians and a few Hispanics. One of my classmates was a Cherokee-Choctaw from Oklahoma, who got his PhD and then worked at a university in the Midwest. He was a big lug, but his wife was a petite little blue-eyed blonde. I don't remember any African Americans, and the only Black student I recall was a South African who was my classmate. (I remember that his wife was a tribal princess from Malawi.) Hulme Siwundla was his name.

@@cliffseaman6802 why you said his name?

It's hard to believe that time goes by so fast and we are young for such a brief moment..
