VIEW Time-honored Memories ...in ten years...we shall look with amazement upon the development of this University, for it is certain to be greater, far greater, than the imagination of any of us can foresee. Southern Campus, 1920 These were optimistic words from Dr. Ernest Carroll Moore, first UCLA Provost, voiced only a year after the University of California, Southern Branch was established, and nine years before UCLA ' s landmark, Royce Hall, opened for classes. Dr. Moore ' s prediction for the University has indeed been fulfilled, far beyond the original vision of the Royce Quad, which included Haines, Kinsey, and Powell Library. The physical face of the campus is still changing, yet UCLA ' s development also extends offcampus through its worldwide academic reputation. Long before ook-la or ukla Bearwear became the latest fad in Europe and Japan, UCLA was exporting its ideas. Major contributors to this endeavor include some familiar names: Ralph BUNCHE, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and Under-secretary General of the United Nations; Frank Prescott ROLFE, former Dean of Letters and Science and authority on 17th century prose and Victorian literature; Llewelyn M.K. BOELTER, founding dean of the School of Engineering; Edward A. DICK SON, former Regent, reporter, publisher, and known as the Godfather of UCLA ; and, of course, Dr. Ernest Carroll MOORE, educator and philosopher. Though surrounded by all this history, students have left their own mark on UCLA traditions. For example, Mardi Gras was begun in 1941 to benefit UNICAMP, the University ' s summer camp for underprivileged children. There were ten booths that year. Today ' s Mardi Gras spans the intramural field and is a fully-equipped carnival. Another tradition preserved is the rallies at the foot of Janss Steps. Constructed in the early 1930 ' s, it has been the scene of both political and sport rallies—from John F. Kennedy to Larry Brown. Perhaps the most enduring UCLA tradition is the football rivalry with USC. This manifests itself in many ways including bogus Daily Trojan papers, massive priority ticket lines, and special t-shirts. Here again, students draw on tradition, through the fight songs, including George Gershwin ' s hit Strike Up the Band. The Gershwins presented this song to UCLA in 1937, appending a for UCLA to the title. The lyrics to this song as well as those to the Fight Song are usually forgotten, except for the famous 8-clap end ings added by the students. In recent years, students have moved a form of the 8-clap into the classroom. Written evaluations of the instructors pale in comparison; the real estimate of success in a lecture hall being, as in life, the loudness of the applause. —SJG STUDENT LIFE 25

VIEW Routines: Reflections of Reality Yesterday I trudged up and down Bruin Walk eleven times. I can ' t believe it! When they told me about the high attrition rate here I thought they were talking about academic prowess and not physical stamina. As we all know, UCLA thrives on its diversity. Yet, some statistician must have neglected the fact that all of those diversified knowledge seekers seem to stand in the same lines, ride the same shuttle bus to Lot 32 and walk up Bruin Walk time and time again. Here it is—my college experience, that new epoch in my life, the stepping stone to my multi-million dollar career—and here I am, routine-ridden. It ' s scary how big of a rut I ' m in. Here it is—my college experience, that new epoch in my life, the stepping stone to my multimillion dollar career—and here I am, routine-ridden! I brush my teeth every morning (Mom ' s orders) along with ten other people from my dorm. I read the personals in the Daily Bruin while waiting for my prof to arrive. I play Pac-Man until I clear the board at least three times on my way back up Bruin Hike. I check to see if the late book for my history class has come in yet (yes, the final is in two weeks). I could go on forever, but I ' m afraid this list would become another routine thing! You know what? Something is fishy about all these routines. I had Psych 10 fall quarter and I remember reading something about mind control patterning. I think I may have stumbled across some sort of elitist plot or something. (If it ' s not the administration ' s plan, then I ' m sure those Young, Irate and Ticked-Off Socialistic Agitators are in on it.) I can ' t believe it—what a paper topic for my class, Terrorism Today. I think I ' ll go see my TA after class, or maybe right after I play a little Pac-Man first... Better yet, I ' ll go to my prof during his office hour...First I think I ' ll thumb through the Bruin over a cup of coffee in Kerckhoff to make sure nothing exciting is happening on campus...Gee, what ' s going on in Meyerhoff Park? Oh, another religious zealot...I wonder when the new schedule of classes comes out?...Is the psych department going to offer The Psychology of Routines? ...Boy,. am I hungry...I ' ll have to see my prof about this tomorrow...I ' d better do some studying tonight...I really should do my laundry before I start my paper...I always have a hard time finding a place to study in URL...I can ' t wait until tomorrow, I can sleep ' til nine...Why not play a quick game of Pac-Man before I go back to the dorm, then I ' ll start my homework. I really think there is something to these routines after all. Hold it! Just wait one cotton-pickin ' minute! I seem to recall a high school routine, a summer-time routine, and I even have a dating routine. Gee, these routines can ' t be that bad, at least I know what to do after the nice dinner, the movie and the extended drive home with Sarah Lee Sleeze. Now I can see these routines in a new light! I think these things help us to get along day to day without undue stress and strain. Move over Freud baby, I have a new topic in mind— Routine Ways Make for Better Days. (Aren ' t flashes of genius great?) —JDL
