Continues... Asbestos was just one more danger found in the tunnels, opposite top left. Three unidentified students had to hunch over to get through the small crawl space near one of the campus huildings. opposite top right. A stu- dent crouches under steam pipes, op- posite bottom.

Photographer unknown. To be a true blue (and gold) Bruin, one had to go tunneling at least once. If you hadn ' t, read on. . . Did you ever notice that there were no high wires, no telephone poles, etc. on the UCLA campus? Tunnels are the answer. Below UCLA, in the dark, damp underground were utility tunnels stretching be- tween each building, thus tunneling was the act of (illegally) venturing through them late at night. Though tunneling was considered adventurous, students could have been expelled if caught in the act, according to the Dean of Students Office, because it constituted vio- lation of student conduct law. If tunneling was glamorous, the tunnels themselves were anything but. These passageways were small, dark, humid and very unsafe. Besides that, hot steam pipes and other obstructions were in the way of unwelcome visitors. One was easily hurt if not too cautious, which was part of the reason for their being off limits to anyone but authorized personnel, yet none of this stopped some nocturnal students from venturing through. Living out this type of fantasy could also result in an arrest by UCPD on trespassing and breaking and entering charges. Some amazing discoveries were made, however, in- cluding the fact that the stories the orientation counselors told about a river running past Perloff and Schoenberg Halls were true. -Casey Taylor Tunneling 2 1

Biggest Monexjrrakec Visitors from all over the world came to UCLA throughout the year, eager to get a closer look at our famous campus. According to Jack Revoyr, director of Licen- sing and Tourism at UCLA, the tour second only in popularity to Disneyland included Uni- versal Studios, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and UCLA. Once at UCLA, visitors had several options; they could head straight for Bearwear or they could tour the campus either alone or guided, led by a campus guide from the Visitor ' s Center. Visitor ' s Center tours were specifically directed toward general vistors to the university, including families and international groups. Tours were given twice-daily on a drop-in basis. Peak demand was during intersessions. The Visitors Center tour guide staff included a core of thirty volunteer docents and ten paid stu- dent guides. Guides were given a script which in- cluded information about UCLA ' s history, current research, and cultural events on campus. The tours left from the land- mark Bruin Bear statue and covered the core of campus including Royce Quad, North Campus, the Sculpture Garden and South Campus. In addition to regular tours, the Visitors Center provided special tours of the Botanical, Japanese and Sculpture Gardens. A large group of the summer visitors were made up of East Coast high school juniors travel- ing around the United States on Teen Tours, checking out different universities to see which ones to apply to. Japa- nese tourists also abound- ed, and were a c - comodated with Japanese signs posted in several places in the Ackerman Union, encouraging those tourists to use ASUCLA eating facilities. -Melani Unitt Tourism 23
