Merced College Matters: Campus to celebrate 50 years

The rest, as they say, is history.

And, it's history -- Merced College's history -- that will be the focus of a yearlong schedule of activities commencing in fall 2012 and running through spring 2013. A 50th anniversary steering committee has been meeting over the past several months to plan a calendar of events that will acknowledge the college's past while setting the stage for its next half-century.

"It doesn't take much imagination to realize how much Merced College has meant to our local communities," said Robin Shepard, the college's foundation director and public information officer. "I know that if it weren't for Merced College, I may have never had the opportunity to go on to a university. The same is true for several members of my family, and the same is true for so many other local families."

There's good reason to celebrate as the college has literally and positively affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of local residents over the past five decades. It's been, to use an old college marketing slogan, "A Great Place to Grow."

THERE WERE TEN TIGERS: American Graffiti @ the Charles Theatre

by sara

George Lucas' memories of growing up with carhops, cruising, hot rods and hoods produced a film 37 years ago that sent the whole country into an early-1960s flashback. Its in-and-out, vignette style, and its nonstop rock-oldies soundtrack, quickly became standard issue for teen movies. Some of Lucas's characters - the nerd (Charlie Martin Smith), the deceptively 'dumb' blonde (Candy Clark), the hot-rodder (Paul Le Mat) - were stock figures even in 1962, the year in which the story takes place. But Lucas reanimates the cliches, using them to externalize and flesh out the cruising mind-set of his teen era. He gets at the archetypal bonds and tensions between eternal high school types like the brainy semi-outsider ( Richard Dreyfuss) and the sharp yet inertia-prone class prez ('Ronny' Howard)....

Q: According to the movie "American Graffiti," what happens to the character Holden Caulfield?

by Student412

Holden Caulfield is the main character in the novel Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. Somewhere in the movie American Graffiti, Holden is mentioned.

I need to know what is said regarding Holden, and preferably also who said it and in


X Eyes

A: I was a big fan of A.G. including buying the soundtrack and it is its own movie. Holden Caulfield isn't mentioned or a character. I don't think Catcher in the Rye was yet the "important" or classic book it is today at the time period of A.

Smile!

A: Probably not, unless you're REALLY into history and the youth/teen culture of the early 1960s. Anerican Graffiti certainly qualifies as a teen movie, but if you weren't a teen at the time it was set (or at least lived through that time), you might find

Q: American Graffiti vs The Outsiders vs Stand By Me vs Dazed and Confused vs Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

by Federer Feeds Off Tears!

I thought these movies would compare great together because out of all the teen movies made, these are the most realistic.
Stand by Me is probably my favorite, but I love em' all.
How bout you?


So Suburban So High School

A: American Graffiti and Fast time at Ridgemont High are a tad too old and 80's-rific for me. However, I absolutely love Stand by me, it's one of my favorites. And Jerry O'Connell has become quite the cutie. I just recently saw Dazed and Confused and I thought
