"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)

Agreed; I deleted that, along with a bunch of other stuff that sounds like it was taken from a sales brochure. Irvine's demographics web page says it's 49% Republican, 29% Democrat. Only less slightly less funny than this was the comment that gasoline is inexpensive because of nearby refineries.

Pictures of the campus

I'm studying at UCI now for the summer... I could take a few photos... anyone interested? - Allyunion 07:59, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

yes, please! --Jia ng 20:08, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Pictures

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. --Jia ng 02:51, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

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)

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)

Can you first label whatever buildings are pictured? I have no clue. --Jia ng 07:11, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

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)

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)

Good. I added a couple, but there's room for more and more room will become available as the article grows. Feel free to insert these images yourself. I just randomly selected 2. --Jia ng 04:08, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Escape From the Planet of The Apes

Escape From the Planet of The Apes was supposely filmed here. Needs confirmation. --[[User:Allyunion|AllyUnion (Talk)]] 02:52, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

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)

Yes, that's correct. It was taken on top of the Engineering Tower. --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion (talk)]] 12:20, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

According to IMDB it was Conquest of the Planet of the Apes that was filmed at UCI [1]. Besides an IMDB listing for Irvine, Calif. [2] there is also a separate one for UCI [3]. I know that the movie Silent Movie was partially filmed at UCI (in 1975?)[4]. gK 10:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

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)

our only claim to Hollywood fame ;)

William Pereira and Associates

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)[5]?

While searching for some Pereira stuff on the internet, I also found a nice link for some UCI History [6]gK 10:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

University of California Lightbulb Jokes

chinese jokes

You anteaters are cool with asian/chinese jokes? here's another: betcha all wear Abercrombie and Finch! --141.211.202.162 10:19, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Not all of us are so uptight that we can't make fun of ourselves. UCI's large Asian student body is well known and often made fun of, not the least by Asian students at UCI themselves, making it notable in the context of student culture. While there I was far from the only person of Asian descent bitching about all the ricemobiles taking up parking spaces. Lighten up a little. Most of us know real racism when we see it and don't need someone else to tell us when we should be outraged, especially over issues as trivial as this. -Loren 19:20, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

you are allowing an atmosphere permissive of derogatory comments about asians to persist in connection with uci's identity. where is your pride? wiki sites of other uc campuses with majority asian populations don't use racial injokes as a way of describing their universities.--69.212.42.41 22:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

but, i can see how the presence of these jokes does point up the basic conservatism of the UCI student body.--69.212.42.41 22:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

First off, it's not derogatory unless you want it to be and quite frankly I really don't see how the term "Chinese Immigrant", unlike "chink" or "gook" is offensive. I've heard worse. Second, even if one does consider the term offensive it does not change the fact that the definition of the acronym is in common use, as un-PC as it might be. While you're free to articulate what you find wrong with it, as an encyclopedia, we should not be covering up notable phenomena related to student life simply because some people may find it offensive. That's censorship and that's wrong. And finally, UCI is far from the only university to have it's acronym turned into a politically incorrect joke. UCLA:University of Caucasians Lost Among Asians (OMG racist!); USC: University of Spoiled Children (promoting socioeconmic conflict!); UCSB: University of Casual Sex and Beer (sexist and immmoral!). Just because a phenomena offends you does not make its inclusion any less valid, especially when it sheds light on an aspect unique to that school. And quite frankly, I really don't see why you'd link this and conservatism unless you're trying to imply that conservatives have better things to do with their time then rail against every percieved slight. Finally, had you bothered to read the article you would find that this article goes into much more depth about UCI, you however have apparently decided to fixate on that single section. -Loren 23:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

not saying that racial/ethnic/sexist jokes about other uc campuses don't exist, nor that they aren't "popular," even among people they refer to. the issue is whether or not they are appropriate on a site that purports to offer "neutral" or unbiased information. the casual, matter of fact display of racial jokes on this site suggests that it is "neutral" or appropriate and publicly acceptable for anyone who reads wikipedia to make racial jokes about chinese immigrants.

i would think there should be more appropriate ways for uci's asian demographic to be addressed.--68.40.13.92 05:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

First off, the fact that the joke would be popular enough to exist means that people are going to say it anyhow whether it is or isn't on Wikipedia. The fact that it exists in this case and ties into UCI's student culture as a whole is why its being addressed along with all the other self-deprecating things UCI students say about their school. Second, the target of the joke is not "Chinese immigrants" but UCI as a whole along with the other jokes. This section is not just about addressing the student body makeup but also student culture and mentality. I can only speak for myself and the people I knew while I was at UCI, but there was a definite sense of jaded sarcasm unique to the student culture (some might call it an inferiority complex, I prefer to think of it as wittiness), perhaps due to UCI's status as a university without a university town, or simply due to its lack of many things that people traditionally associate with conventional American university life. Mention Berkeley (Bears!), UCLA (Bruins!), UCSB (Parties!), or even UCD (Cows!) and people will automatically recognise something about what you're talking about. Mention Irvine and more often then not you'll get blank stares (or if you'e lucky "Oh.. that's in.... Orange County right?"). Hence the prevailance of self-deprecating jokes, not only about the student body makeup, but also the lack of interest towards athletics ("Anteater football rocks!", "Anteaters lost to Fullerton again 12-0"), almost constant construction ("Under Construction Indefinitely"), the high proportion of commuter students, (Acuras and Integras, and yes, many fit the ricer stereotype), the constant academic mentality ("Hey it's Friday night, wanna go to the Science Library and work on the physics homework?"), problems with the city and the Irvine Company ("Irvine looks better in the dark"). Don't get me wrong, I loved my time at UCI, constant underdog mentality and all. But the intent of highlighting such points is that they do shed light on an aspect of UCI student culture which is by no means insignificant. Berkeley has it's protests, UCLA has its crosstown rivalry with USC, Irvine has its self-deprecating humor.-Loren 06:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Also regarding the appropriateness of including un-PC information on Wikipedia, if you poke around, you'll find plenty of examples of articles documenting politically incorrect issues or topics. Does the inclusion of things such as The Burning of the School mean that we're encouraging children to burn down their classrooms? That article and others like it simply provide information regarding notable phenomena. -Loren 07:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

the fact that you, as an asian woman, are arguing for these jokes makes the issue so much more problematic. granted, i am not the one being embarrassed here. however, i do not agree that the best or most neutral way to address a supposed lack of school spirit or ethnic pride is to highlight cracks on the school's asian population.

it's not about being pc or not. it's about creating an environment of maximum respect for all individuals. maybe this is considered pc now but it was a basic expectation that propelled the civil rights movement. having the jokes on a supposedly neutral wikipedia site creates an impression that wikipedia thinks jokes about certain demographics in certain locations are ok. hosting articles about problematic narratives or social customs is one thing, that is entirely appropriate if they are the subject of the article. Introducing a problematic text as a way of discussing or insinuating things about a larger context or, in this case, population demographic, leads to further problems.

it would be one thing to have a page detailing racist/sexist/classist jokes about the various uc campuses. that would be ok. it's quite another thing to use these jokes as a way of offering a "neutral" or "impartial" assessment of the culture or population demographic of any one campus in particular, and have that stand in the article as the only reference to the population.

you do understand that asian students, grad students especially, get laughed at all the time on american campuses and that this is ordinary but does not make it at all appropriate, right? at michigan, where i'm at, some asshole deliberately pissed on an asian couple from a balcony. anyway, if you are really into self-depreciating racial humor, maybe you can go further and show a pic of a bunch of asian students at uci modeling clothes from the ambercombe and fitch catalog. that would be truly illustrative, but of what i'd rather not say.

i will not pursue this issue further. go anteaters.--141.213.151.115 18:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Well to start, I am not a woman. However given the number of times that mistake has happened online I'll let it pass. Second, nowhere does this article state that such jokes are or are not acceptable. Much like articles about or containing other contraversial issues, this article simply states what is, not what we think it should be. By removing pertinent information from a section simply because it could cause offense we set a bad precedent which is decidedly non-neutral. The Abercombie issue is certainly contraversial and from a personal standpoint I certainly don't care for it, however that has never stopped us from including the issue in the Abercrombie & Fitch Co.. Nor should it stop us from including the "University of Chinese Immigrants" joke in this article which the article makes clear, is but one out of many self-deprecating jokes popular amongst the student body, and which address more issues then just race. While I appreciate your concerns regarding racism, latching onto one particular joke and using it to claim that it demonstrates an overall disrespect for Asians is, IMHO unwarranted. And I'm sorry if I don't see the validity of equating a reference to the majority Asian student body as "highlighting cracks in the Asian student population". Most of us got along just fine, jokes or no jokes.

Yes, as an Asian I have seen my share of racism, enough to understand the difference between crude humor and real racism. I am also quite aware of the sensitivity of the race card. Were I a white guy writing this, most likely you would have labeled me a Sinophobic racist a long time ago and we would not be having this discussion. If I might hazard a guess from your previous comments, I would speculate that you aren't bothered as much by the existance of this particular joke as the fact that it is widespread, and indeed, accepted by most of the majority Asian student body. Personally, I am comfortable enough with myself and who I am that I don't mind laughing at myself periodically. Much like I can still laugh at my California upbringing, "where all the fruits and nuts come from" and still be a proud Californian. Of course, that's just me.

If some Asian students at UCI decided to model clothes for Abercrombie... well, that's their own business (I never really cared much for namebrands anyhow). If it was significant enough we might even write an article about it. The point that I am trying to make here is that we should not discriminate against valid information, controversial or otherwise. If it's notable, then it belongs here. Wikipedia is intended to be a reflection of the real world. If the real world is ugly or offensive in some respects then so be it. If UCI students enjoy cracking jokes about themselves, be it about athletics (or lack thereof), perpetual construction, or student body makeup, then it sheds light on student culture and should be included. All NPOV necessitates is that the description be neutral, not the issue being covered. If we restricted ourselves only to writing about issues that everyone agreed on we wouldn't have much of an encyclopedia left. -Loren 20:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

by "crack" i meant "joke about" and not some fissure in the asian student population. the problem, as i may not have adequately pointed out, has to do with the only reference to that population existing being in the form of jokes put in the "humor" section of the article. to you, this may be self-depreciating humor comfortably made in an insulated context of belonging in the school's majority population. you may not have realized that this is currently the only overt reference to asians at UCI in the entire article. to someone outside of this context, not aware of the demographics of the school, this seems to signal that it is not only ok for people to make fun of asians at uci or of uci for its asian population but to make fun of asians in general.

i'm not saying that people, even other asians, don't already do that. i am saying that it is not appropriate in an article that is attempting to provide a npov about a university. that section of the article "as is" commits vandalism against the uci student body as well as the larger asian community.

ethnic humor is not what you want to build uci's reputation on.--141.213.151.115 21:45, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Well you're more then welcome to add more references to UCI's Asian student body if you feel it puts the section more into context. As I said before, what I disagree with is simply blanking an entire section because you think some people may find it offensive. And the article does not "try to build UCI's reputation on ethnic humor". As I have said before, it is but one aspect of student life and culture at UCI which is covered in this article. -Loren 21:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

i'm trying to free your mind, loren, but this exchange is not having any noticable, progressive affect on you. for what it's worth, you may be interested in reading this paste of a talk that occured over at the ucla discussion area, that alerted me to this issue in the first place:

I have a problem with the edits you made …

First of all. The light bulb jokes in question were under the title Humor. Humor has a place at universities. Instead of deleting the jokes, you could have added these jokes about USC you were speaking about. You also went and removed the humor links at the other UC schools as well. I see you left the racist jokes about the Chinese at UCI. Do you like racist jokes?

Second of all, the jokes are scattered across the internet and were known to me as student 20 years ago.

       http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=university+of+california+lightbulb+jokes

Finally, the jokes are in the public domain. I think a humor section is appropriate as it gives some insight into the rivalries of the schools. Instead of deleting it maybe you could have linked to the area in wikibooks you were referring to.

       --evrik

Again; you clearly have not bothered to read what Wikipedia is not. READ THE POLICIES, STUPID. Please see Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not. Humor has a place at universities, but not in an encyclopedia. This is an encyclopedia, not a joke book. This is an encyclopedia, not a university. I have heard proposals for a Wikiuniversity, though.

Next, if you actually bothered to read the policies as I recommended, you will realize that the fact you may have heard these jokes 20 years ago is completely irrelevant to satisfying the requirements of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. You must be able to cite a verifiable, notable resource that is widely accessible now.

A Google search is not enough. If you had ever studied critical thinking in college, you would know that not all publications or Web sites are reliable sources, and you would have the ability to discern between respectable sources (like the New York Times) and less respectable ones (like the Drudge Report or the average Geocities personal Web site). If you cannot understand that simple distinction, you should not be contributing to Wikipedia. The burden is on the editor adding controversial content to demonstrate that it is true, as well as neutral.

If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia in violation of Wikipedia policy, we can take this to ArbCom. I am confident that my reading of Wikipedia policy is correct and that the committee will agree with me, with the result that you will be banned like the notorious Willy on Wheels (and all your edits will be reverted on sight).

As for the jokes on the UCI page, I agree they are grossly inappropriate and should be removed, but I do not want to open that can of worms at this time. I prefer to fight my battles one at a time, as Wikipedia discussions can be extremely time-consuming and I have already had the unpleasant experience in the past of trying to explain to five immature Wikipedia users at the same time why their edits were inappropriate. In any case, it is Wikipedia policy that the vast majority of jokes are not worthy of mention on Wikipedia (with exceptions for the most well-known ones like the "You have two cows" jokes).

You are entitled to your opinion regarding the place of the jokes in the context of the entire article. However as the aforementioned discussion was not carried out on this page specifically concerning this article I see no reason why it should apply here. And if it were to occur here you can bet that I would still be opposed to it.

So far, you are the one framing this entire argument in terms of racial politics. You call me "closed minded", yet you seem completely incapable of seeing anything in this article except for that one line concerning the student body makeup, completely ignoring the context of everything else around it. You claim that that single line, out of the hundereds of lines of text in this article attempts to frame UCI solely in the context of racial politics. As I have said before and will say again that line, along with the other lines in this article contribute to illustrate campus cuilture as a whole.

You claim to want to "open my mind" to progressive thoughts. Yet perhaps it is your mind that needs opening as you seem to think that by ignoring topics which you consider unpleasant, you can make these things go away or change the thoughts of people as a whole. Diversity and equality aren't just some slogan to be chanted at rallies are used as an excuse for everything. Diversity and tolerance will happen not when we ignore race as an issue, but when people can mention race and not see it any differently then saying what street you live on. Get off your moral high horse for once and see that sentence for what it is, as one of many examples of student culture at UCI which happens to involve race (and not in a derogatory way either), it could very well have been about athletics, coursework, or the lack of pubs in the area. -Loren 02:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Let me chime in right now. I don't have an opinion regarding the jokes presence in the articles, I would just like to try and broker a deal regarding this conflict. First, let me say this is not the place to discuss the appropriateness of these jokes in general. Please take this part of the conversation somewhere else. Second, I don't know where this recent addition came from or who the authors of the comments are. I would remind the authors of wikipedia policies regarding personal attacks and civility. With regard to the appropriateness of these jokes for the inclusion on this page, I'm not sure I see the objection. There are a couple around, (1) they are not verified or (2) they are not of encyclopedic value. Have a missed any reasons? I suggest that those who wish the jokes to remain in the article answer (at least) these two. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 02:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Response to your questions. First, the jokes have been in the article since I expanded it in 2004 and along with other points, was part of a description of student culture at UCI. A few months ago, someone moved them out of the Trivias section into a seperate Humor section. No objection has been raised at this page until now. The encyclopedic value of the jokes is that they are in the context of describing student culture at UCI as a whole, namely the departure of UCI from conventional U.S. university stereotypes, the casual attitudes of students towards a number of issues, including lack of a serious athletics program, the racial makeup of the student body, and UCI's status until lately as the newest school in the UC system. When taken in this context, that line merely illustrates things UCI students commonly say and the laid back attitudes they commonly hold concerning stereotypes of their university. -Loren 02:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Loren - Thank you for your quick response. Most of your comments seemed addressed to objection (2) regarding encyclopedic value of the jokes. Let's see what the other party has to say about this. About your first comment, let me say that long-time presence is not the same as verified. Please provide print or internet resources that confirm these jokes are used at UCI. Thanks again! --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 02:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Most of my experience with the terms is from my own experience as an undergrad at UCI, nontheless plenty of references to all the mentioned jokes can be found online:

University of Chinese Immigrants: [7][8][9][10][11]
Anteater Football:[12]
Under Construction Indefinitely: [13][14]

-Loren 02:42, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Great, thanks Loren! --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 02:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

my issue is that whether or not these jokes are commonly used in reference to the university does not mean that they are an appropriate way of refering to either the university or its predominant student population on a site that is attempting to present a "neutral," or unbiased viewpoint.

because a significant portion of the university's dominant population has no problem whatsoever with these jokes does not mean the jokes in themselves can't be interperted as presenting a biased viewpoint about a) chinese immigrants or b) asians in general, especially as they are the only reference to asians at uci in the whole article.

my feeling is that the asian population there has to be so predominant that it must seem impossible to feel threatened by jokes like this. this is a false sense of security, and is not the situation on campuses where asian students do not make up dominant majorities. i understand the jokes in themselves can seem trivial but their presence on the site signals that it is ok or appropriate to poke fun at asian students in general and at uci in particular.

wiki articles about campuses with dominantly white student populations don't typically feature ethnic jokes about these populations either. i am mexican, for what it's worth, but even though my mexican friends at ucla and here at michigan have our own way of telling jokes about ourselves, between ourselves, we probably would not highlight those aspects of our student experience if we were working on encyclopedia articles about these universities.

it's one thing to be able to laugh about a racial joke from someone else you know of that same race. it would be another thing if you heard someone of another race walking around campus openly complaining about all the "ricers" filling up the parking lot. it would be still another thing if this person, or even worse if a group of people walked up to an asian student and said, "what's up with all the "ricers" on this campus, asian man?" the presence of these jokes on the site may not seem overtly dangerous but it seems to authorize their use in ways that can considered at least inappropriate and at worst overtly racist and threatening. --141.213.140.172 21:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

sorry if i seemed to be making fun of loren. i was trying to get him to realize the way ethnic jokes could be used.--141.213.140.172 21:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

the rest of the article is fine, great actually, i don't have a problem with it. but even if some stats were inserted outlining the demographics of the student population i don't think it would make the chinese jokes less problematic. my strong suggestion is that the jokes should go in favor of a less potentially biased way of talking about the student population in that article.--141.213.140.172 22:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I am quite familiar with how ethnic jokes can be misappropriated. I can remember walking home from school growing up while being taunted by the usual "ching chong Chinaman" crap. I currently attend grad school in Colorado and can assure you that I know what it is like to be a minority on a predominantly white campus (no problem at all once you realize that your primary objective is your degree... if obtaining that ends up making a political statement then so be it). My life has been anything but sheltered. Yet do you truly believe that you can address the problem of racism simply by suppressing anything politically incorrect? Are you going to complain about the N.W.A article as encouraging people to refer to African Americans by the N word? Or even better: List of ethnic slurs. Practically anything can be interpreted in an offensive way, yet that is not the reason why I am pressing to keep the references. This is not a jokebook and the intent of including them is not in the context of humor. I am pressing to keep them because they are notable in the context of student culture as well as local culture. Offensive? Possibly. Politically incorrect? Probably. Notable? Defenitely. Mentioning it in the article does not condone nor condemn the usage. It merely makes note of it a notable phenomenon. Everything is about context. It makes sense to mention that usage of the acromymn in conjunction with other uses. That is not the same as encouraging people to go out and call all Asian students ricers. -Loren 22:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Let me try to make my point clear once again. I support including all notable phenomina. Even if the acroymn were blatantly offensive ("slanty eyes", "chink"...etc) I would still press for its inclusion out of principle if its usage was widespread enough to be notable. -Loren 23:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Just as a side comment: I'm currently a student at UCI, and pretty much everyone, be it faculty, student, or staff, makes jokes and phrases about/at the expense of Asians. Maybe that's a function of the high Asian population here - I can't really say. But it's more or less accepted as a fact of life, and no one complains about it. As Loren has been saying, it's ridiculous to take out things that represent the way things are here just because you find them offensive. --Sporkot 11:15, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

I don't (make jokes at the expense of asians). --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 17:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

(1) Nor do I, nor have I ever had occasion to hear faculty, staff, or students repeating such jokes. (2) Anyone's impression of what most people on a campus are thinking, feeling, or doing is bound to be extremely subjective, based on a tiny amount of information, and very difficult to verify. These impressions have their uses, and there are places for them, but they don't constitute consensus knowledge. Long-running in-jokes such as "Under Construction Indefinitely" are verifiable facts, as noted above. What everyone must be experiencing, or the current overall state of campus culture, are not. - Ramseyk 08:43, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
