Pop images and name brands follow us everywhere we go.
UCLA students use clothing and corporate logos instead of more
substantial qualities to create their identities.

If UCLA students, faculty, staff and alumni aren’t worried
about the danger of a potential war in Iraq, then they certainly
should be.
The official administration line on the war is that America must
combat evil and the threat of terrorism.

Welcome to 2003. UCLA has changed.
The freshmen class of 2004 can look forward to things like
excessive tuition fees, the upgrade of bills to e-bills, the
withdrawal of plans to complete the children’s hospital this
year, the construction zones around Royce Hall that appear to
grow larger every day, the “space-design” contests UCLA
seems to offer each year on how to fit more students into its
dormitories, the strictly enforced safety and security measures
with apparent cracks, steadily increasing prices for soon
outdated textbooks, the re-designed MyUCLA Webmail that doubles and
triples the same e-mail and changes its mind as to whether it
prefers your UCLA ID and pin number or your BOL address every once
in a while, the Northern Lights policy to charge you fifteen cents
to fill your library cup with hot water, and, of course,
don’t forget UCLA’s incredible parking options.

All roads lead to Westwood ““ but none offer
traveler’s parking.
Westwood is a maze of streets, corners, meters and parking
booths turning and twisting to infinitum.

In our multicultural world, international links are established
through travel, economy and politics. However, we at UCLA do not
necessarily have to go on the road to make these connections; we
ourselves make up a colorful, vivacious quilt.
