That's awesome! Berkeley Campus Rebuplicans were pretty big when I was on campus, but I never got too involved in politics. I was involved in some youth ministry locally and with campus ministries. I had a lot of friends in seminary at Pacific School of Religion too.
For me, Cal was never about any certain "belief" system. In fact, I felt that a very broad spectrum of beliefs were held by various groups on campus. Although, I did have to be "smart" later about working in the oilfield. As a campus recruiter for Exxon from 1986-1995 I did help organize the recruting team "off" campus and do interviews in a bit more clandestine fashion.
The MBA recruiters for Exxon didn't attend Cal (they went to Penn St. and A&M), so they did the typical "wine and cheese" parties etc. This worked OK until the year of the Valdez spill ... putting flyers up in Sproul that year was like inviting the entire campus to a protest .... their wine & cheese party ended up with protesters pouring coffee cans of oil on them ...
Us Cal grads understood the situation and moved all of our engineering recruiting to Henry's after that!
