The Commodore Club attended in unUorm, Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce members = attended and so did former President R.icba.rd Nixon, which explained all the Newport Beach Police ca.rs in front of the Newport Harbor Lutheran Church. Jim de Boom. a former Newport· Mesa Unified School District trustee and Community & Clubs columnist for the Pilot, remembers it well. •Nixon counted Richard as one of his friends, in good times and bad times," da Boom said. That's the kind of presence Richard had in NeWp<>rt Beach. He is remembered most ln three ways: as the owner of Richard's Udo ~et, a business which is said to have helped form Udo Isle: as the founder of lbe Goofoffers Club; and as the reason .behind the Dick Rlcha.rd-s Break.fast Club. He was one of the dty's earliest merchants and Chamber ol Com· merce memben, one of the p1oneer· ing bustn s leaders who helped th dty prosper. •He has a group still going. The group still meets in his honor -the Dick Richard's Brealda t Club," de Boom said. We'll start with his market, which Richard opened in 1948. It was con· sidered atyp cally luxurious for the Newport Beach area. • Jt was elegant for a market.• said Gay Wassall-Kelly, whose family would buy meat tbere and take it all the way back to the Sa.n Fernando Valley. 11They had unusual products in there, whether it was imported or not." Wassall·Kelly remembers she bought her first can of capers at the market. Goods like that were rare ln Newport ~ch because some still considered it a vacation spot instead of an year-round residential city. "But be brought a little class into his grocery store,• she said. James Felton's history of the dty - "Newport Beach, The First Centu- ry. 1888·1988• -says Richard's Lido Market grossed $1 million in its li.rst year.

Members included John Wayne, Richard Nucon and other such locals as the ldte Costa Mesa drugstore owner Al Pinkley. Everyone drank from coffee mugs that bore not only their name , but caricatures of them- selves. de Boom said.

OCC CAMPUS -Some professors at the college are ta.king issue with 14.nguage the Coastline Community College District is proposing regarding academic freedom, calling it vague and a threat to their constitutional nght to freedom of speech. The topic is a touchy one 1J\ the wake of the administra- tion's handling of poUbcaJ sci- ence professor Kenneth Hearlson alter he was charged with harassing Mus- lim students dunng one of his lectures. Hearlson was not able to go back to the classroom unW an independent lnvestigation was completed. He was even- tually cleared of the bulk of the charges, but he received a letter that he considered to be a reprimand from the college president. While the Coast Federa- tion of Educators is still in the preliminary stages of negotla· lion for its new contract, some professors contend the dis- trict's language is diluting their right to academic free. dom. "Instead of protecting ow academic freedom to say what we think is right about matters, it is requiring us not fo say certain things,· said Gayne Anacker, a philosophy professor. The language in question concerns when faculty mem- bers should be immune from act.ions aUecting theu employment status.

"ln order to make 1t con- crete, what kind-of gwdelmes are going to now from th1s language?" The uruon wants to get d~ much feedback as 1t can from its members, so Bruning has sent out a ruer with the union and the district's language for faculty at all three dtstnct col - leges to respond. And on March 1, the union will bring in faculty experts to testify during negotiations on the language. Bruning said. While Hearlson admits that lrylng to get a handle on academic freedom is tanta- mount to wallung a ughtropc. he expressed optmu'>m thdt some kind of compronuse can be actueved. • 1 lhmk we &hould work together in corrung up with language that LS ol>v10ui.ly fair to everyone but does not dmurush or take awdy from the freedom of people to s~ak up and have lhetr own opinions t.n the cla room d.nd teach a they wish.· Hearlson said Roxburgh lS a full-service agency that has a 15-member team providlng markeb.n.g con- ulbng, advertJsing, public rel.a· bons and new media services.
