Jasper Rose, Art History 10C lectures at UC Santa Cruz from April to June 1985

 

How the videos came to be created

 

VHS videotapes were created of UCSC Art History professor Jasper Rose's Art History 10C lectures in Spring Quarter 1985. The total number of students in the class exceeded 400, and also surpassed the seating capacity of the lecture hall. The reason the classes were recorded on videotape was to allow students to view each lecture on videotape in the library at a later time if they were unable to attend a particular lecture.

 

VHS video quality of 1985

 

The quality of the video recordings range from modestly good to very poor. There are many more fairly satisfactory recordings than bad. Problems include: Sound is too loud, distorted sound, echoed sound, sound is too distant (Jasper stepped away from the microphone), microphone and machine buzz, and the picture is too dark. However, we are so very fortunate to have some of Jasper’s lectures preserved for us at all.  One additional very poorly recorded video from April 10, 1985 is not indexed on YouTube, but is available from this link.

UCSC students protesting against UC investments in apartheid South Africa

in April 1985 touched Jasper's classes

 

Spring Quarter 1985 at UC Santa Cruz was a time of active student protests against the UC Regents holding investments in apartheid South Africa, and for the University to divest those investments. During one protest session, UCSC students renamed the UCSC McHenry Library the "Nelson Mandela Library." At the time, Mandela was a political prisoner in South Africa.  A one-day student strike was called for a day when Jasper's Art History 10C class was scheduled to meet.

 

Jasper speaks about the protests and South Africa

 

Jasper brings up the subject of apartheid South Africa on many occasions during his classes. At one point Jasper makes a reference to South African 'Krugerrands," which were gold coins minted by the apartheid South African government for export. The United States banned the import of Krugerrands in 1985.

 

Democrats in the U.S. Senate initially tried to pass an Anti-Apartheid Act in September 1985, but were blocked by Republicans. Shortly thereafter, U.S. President Ronald Reagan implemented some limited sanctions against apartheid South Africa. The Anti-Apartheid Act was re-introduced by Democrats in June 1986, and passed both houses of Congress, but was vetoed by President Reagan. Congress proceeded to override Reagan’s veto with the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 that imposed sanctions on South Africa.

 

South African apartheid ended in the early 1990s and Nelson Mandela became became the first black and freely elected president of South Africa.
