Talk:University of California, Irvine/Archive 1

message: "The city of Irvine is usually labelled as mostly liberal"??? BY WHOM?
Christopher Cox is the congressman, a sharp (and to my ears, nasty) conservative Republican power broker.  Dems get like 10%.  UCI faculty, staff, and grad students tend to be about as liberal as most University folks, but the undergrads are overwhelmingly the usual Orange County conservative types.  In fact, Irvine, together with Newport Beach and some areas further south, as well as eastern Anaheim, is the very center of Orange County conservatism.  --Tb 17:27, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Please include any of these photos into the article.  UC Irvine just has so many damn trees, I can't get really "overall" shots of the campus.  There will be a few more pictures to be added soon. --Allyunion
:We have more than enough pictures now. Can you add some of those listed above to the article. I would but I don't know how to label (indicate what buildings they are, etc). See wikipedia:extended image syntax for help. --Jiang 02:51, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: There's just three more shots that I have to get, one of the "main UCI sign", another of their mascot statue and the last one is the science building.  As I'm not a permanent UCI student, I can't really say what should go on the article. -- AllyUnion (talk) 05:42, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Image:Uci_welcome_sign.jpg - This is picture is of the entrance to the school on a street called "Bison".  I'm bad at adding pictures so... if someone could fix the page... sorry. ^^;;; -- AllyUnion (talk) 06:04, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: I don't either.  I said I'm only a summer school student, remember?  I've emailed UCI's ACM student club in hopes one of their students will edit this page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:54, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi, just graduated from UCI in June, I added some more detail to the photo captions as well as the names of some of the buildings. --Loren 02:38, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Escape From the Planet of The Apes was supposely filmed here.  Needs confirmation.  --AllyUnion (Talk) 02:52, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I believe it was the Social Science Tower (this picture was taken on top of the Engineering Tower, I believe?) DHN 09:50, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's correct.  It was taken on top of the Engineering Tower. --AllyUnion (talk) 12:20, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: According to IMDB it was Conquest of the Planet of the Apes that was filmed at UCI . Besides an IMDB listing for Irvine, Calif.  there is also a separate one for UCI . I know that the movie Silent Movie was partially filmed at UCI (in 1975?). gK 10:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes was filmed at UCI and it heavily features images from both Social Science Tower and Social Science Lab, as well as the main library (now Langston library). See here. Also, the College of Medicine (which is on campus but somewhat seperated from the other buildings) was used to film a scene for remake of Ocean's Eleven. --68.225.251.152 07:26, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Should the UCI article include the info that it was designed by the architectural firm William Pereira and Associates (who also designed the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco)? 
While searching for some Pereira stuff on the internet, I also found a nice link for some UCI History gK 10:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
