Hoovers plan worked. Tensions between the Panthers and US reached a fe — UCLA

"UCLA has the largest enrollments of Korean American students in the United States: some 3,300 students, or nearly 10 percent of our entire student body, the total enrollments of many liberal arts colleges."

"The north, central and south precincts of UCLA each have a distinct character. Upon central campus, the Romanesque and 1950s transitional buildings are arranged in geometric rigidity. With its formal patterns and defined open spaces, it is a Beaux-Arts tour-de-force. North and south campuses reacted against its order and coherence. Circulation is organized by free-form garden paths that entreat relaxed perambulation, and building style is based upon individual design rather than stylistic uniformity."

"In 1939, UCLA obviously allowed black students to attend the university, but it wasnt exactly encouraged. As a result, out of 9,600 students at UCLA, only about fifty were black. In addition, it was very hard for the black students at UCLA to find housing or get hired for part-time jobs on campus. And it was even more difficult for black students to be included in social events. It was clearly understood that they were not to attend parties with white students, so the tiny group of blacks socialized among themselves. Still, UCLA welcomed Jackie Robinson because he was a great athlete and the university was desperately in need of star power on the field. UCLA was a fairly new school when Jackie arrived, but it was in the same sports division as older, stronger colleges like USC, Berkeley, Stanford and Oregon. UCLA was the new kid on the block and needed some victories. It hoped Jackie Robinson would help."

"UCLA was the obvious choice for the first node on the . When Ivan Sutherland was in charge of IPTO, ARPA had funded a networking experiment to link IBM computers in three of the Universitys departments. UCLA had also played an important role in specifying the measurement software that BBN implemented in each IMP. That, coupled with Kleinrocks work on communications networks, which was so important for Larry Robertss plans, clinched it for UCLA. After all, who better than Kleinrock to understand what was going on when the packets started to flow? UCLA became the Network Measurement Centre, responsible for compiling statistics and analysing the net-work."

"Major fundraising campaigns are another key undertaking in revenue generation. During a recent ten-and-a-half-year campaign, UCLA raised $3 billion from 225,000 donors, making it the most successful academic endeavor to raise funds in the nation. Efforts to encourage potential revenue from trademarks and logos are also at the forefront. The UCLA Trademarks and Licensing Office coordinates programs to protect the UCLA brand name at home and abroad. Through its appearance on products from toothbrushes to sandals to kites, the UCLA logo signifies an important source of revenue. Perhaps even more importantly, the logo is a crucial element in UCLAs institutional identity as a world-class public research university with increasing emphasis on privatization, international competitiveness, entrepreneurialism, and self-sustainability, key manifestations of the impact of neoliberal forms of globalization on university life."

"Lastly, the most powerful tool for politicizing mixed heritage students in my experience was the practice and protection of the right for one to self-identify. Personal identification is an extraordinarily political act because it allows people to decide for themselves, according to their own self-reflection and experiences, how they see and position themselves in society and where society sees and positions them. Mixed Student Union at UCLA was founded on the idea that any member can identify as they choose; in our space people were not going to be assumed to racially/ethnically/linguistically/religiously/culturally identify a certain way. We were not going to judge or pry our way into each persons background. Members were open to express themselves how and when they chose. I drew inspiration from Maria P. Roots work titled, the "Bill of Rights for Mixed People," in which she lays out several empowering and inclusive rights of mixed-identified people."
