He and his twin brother, Andrew, both recipients of Gates Millennium Scholarships, grew up in Delano, California, in the heart of the state’s agricultural region. Matthew has just begun his second year at UCLA and is majoring in political science, while his brother is attending Stanford University. We in the Library got to know Matthew last spring, when he took a Fiat Lux Honors Collegium on library research. Taught by College Librarian Esther Grassian, this semi- nar helps undergraduates develop their research skills, beginning with identifying and refining a topic for a research paper through using the appropriate citation style in the paper’s bibliography. Matthew took the library seminar in conjunction with a general education cluster course, “Interracial Dynamics: Race and Politics.” The GE course required a research paper, and in the course of writing his paper, “The Bracero Program and Bush’s Guest Worker Program: Will History Repeat Itself?,” Matthew discovered a personal connection to the topic: he found out that his grandfather had been a bracero. The bracero program, as it was informally known, was created to ease manpower short- ages during World War II; it allowed Mexican migrant workers to enter the country to work legally, though at wages significantly lower than other laborers earned. The program was formally ended in 1964, but migrant workers still endure harsh working and living conditions and receive low pay. Throughout this 2004-05 progress report, we’ve used Matthew’s own words describing his research into the bracero program, and ultimately into his own family, to shed a per- sonal light on the Library’s accomplishments. We have millions of books, thousands of journals, and hundreds of staff members, but those dry numbers truly come to life when you see how one of them helps a user make a personal connection. On behalf of Matthew and the thousands of other UCLA students, faculty, and staff as well as scholars from around the world who rely on the Library, I would like to extend my thanks to our generous, visionary donors, who we are pleased to acknowledge in the Donor Honor Roll beginning on page seventeen. Your contributions support the collec- tions and services that sustain UCLA’s outstanding academic programs and that have enabled the Library to achieve its current ranking among the top five research libraries in North America. You have also given Matthew Barragan a lasting gift, which his own words capture far better than mine can. “This researching journey has truly changed the way I view the past. I’m the grandson of a Mexican bracero now, attending one of the most prestigious universities in the country. … And our honors seminar truly gave me skills I will utilize throughout my college career and my entire life.” Thank you, Matthew, for sharing your story with us. Gary E. Strong University Librarian < 2 COLLECTIONS “The resources we are provided with at UCLA boggle the mind!” < 3 ... I was able to come up with most of the research through Expanded Academic ASAP, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, and even a few UC-eLinks through Google Scholar. But because I had taken this class, I wasn’t satisfied with only using online databases. The best research papers include diverse materials in the bibliography, so I set off to try new things and utilize some new materials. This may sound crazy, but since we have the easily accessible online resources, I had never checked out a book from any of the UCLA libraries. … At our one- on-one meeting I mentioned my fear of checking out a book, and you pointed me in the right direction. I utilized the Hispanic encyclopedia and then set off to check out some books on the bracero program. It turns out that the College Library had loads of books on the bracero program. I sifted through most of them to narrow my search to five books. Out of the five I ended up truly utilizing three of them. Matthew Barragan Paper for Fiat Lux seminar on library research Matthew Barragan didn’t know what the UCLA Library had to offer until a TA suggested that he take a Fiat Lux seminar on library research. But as the excerpt above shows, he has now become one of its biggest boosters. His story about researching his paper for “Interracial Dynamics: Race and Politics” brings a unique and personal perspective to impersonal titles and numbers.

  • The Many Deaths of Peggie Castle Jake Hinkson
    The Many Deaths of Peggie Castle Jake Hinkson n Hollywood’s Golden Age, beauty was turned into a commodity, one found in abundance and renewed with each out-of-town bus. Thousands of lovely young women cycled through the system, had their physical attributes capital- ized upon, and wound up back on the street with little more than the handful of cash it would take to get back home. Of these unlucky multitudes, few lived long enough to see themselves become a new kind of star: the rediscovered filmI noir icon, the object of scholarly study and geek adoration. 42 NOIR CITY I SUMMER 2013 I filmnoirfoundation.org Though a lot of actresses played the doomed bad girl, Peggie Castle seemed to embody the ethos somehow. Something about her seemed dangerous—which is another way of saying, perhaps, that something about her threatened men. With her low, smoky voice and skeptical green eyes, she wasn’t hot, she was cool. She never seemed to lose con- trol. Her sensuality always seemed to be hers to do with as she pleased, a tool to get what she wanted. If this was her innate quality as an actor, then she was made to suffer for it in film after film. That cool quality seemed to reflect the real woman as well. Well- educated and ambitious, she had a caustic wit about most things, and she evinced few romantic illusions about the business she’d cho- sen for herself. “The difference between an old fashioned kiss and a movie kiss,” she said once, “is about 1500 feet of film.” She lived a disconnected life from the beginning.

  • Like Father, Like Son Smoking As Family Tradition
    Like Father, Like Son Smoking as Family Tradition Curated by Alan Blum, MD Director, University of Alabama Center for the Study of Tobacco and Society Assistant Curators: Kevin Bailey, MA Mark Usry An Illustrated Exhibit Key to items featured in the exhibit This document is meant to provide context for the material featured in the exhibit such as publication sources and dates Introduction: Looking for a great Father’s Day gift? How about giving Dad a carton of cigarettes? That may sound like a sick joke, but before the Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health was published in 1964, tobacco companies made just such advertising appeals. This exhibition features ads, cigar labels, and a greeting card that play on the bond between fathers and sons and the association of smoking with manliness. Dr. Blum introduces ‘Like Father, Like Son,’ dedicated to Leon Blum, MD and Gerald Leon Wallace, MD [photos below]. (1:33) I could well have been that freckle-faced little boy on the sign handing a carton of Chesterfield cigarettes to his dad. My father, who had been a high school athlete, became hooked on Chesterfields as a medical student. This was decades before we knew that smoking caused heart disease. As a result of his ever-present cigarette, he suffered a heart attack before he was 50 and died at 60. Throughout the 20th century and to the present day, millions of fathers have died from heart disease, emphysema, and lung cancer due to smoking, even as the tobacco industry denied that cigarettes could even cause a cough.

  • Packet #44 for All of Our Dear “When Swing Was King” Friends
    The latest from Denny & Claire, Being hunkered down by the all the quarantines and lockdowns and closed places of business recently reminded me of one winter in my Colorado childhood when I was chomping at the bit to get outside after a snowstorm followed by several days of freezing cold. As often happens on the Front Range, a dramatic swing in temperatures can occur within hours and, in this case, once the sun came out, the dry snow began to melt and Mom agreed to let me venture out into the backyard for a little while. Of course, I’m sure she didn’t give me permission to go outside without a coat (and in a short-sleeve shirt, no less!) but I did just that and still survived. Score anther point for a boy’s adventurous spirit. But I must confess that this photograph does present a mystery to me. No, the mystery is not why I’m sitting on the clothesline pole reading my Boy’s Life magazine. For whatever crazy kid reason, I did that with some frequency. And not only my magazine but, from the local library, books by Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jules Verne. Or maybe Kon-Tiki, the Raffles stories, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Johnny Tremain, Robin Hood, or Sink the Bismarck. No, the real mystery is I can’t figure out who would have taken the picture. Certainly not Mom. Like I said, she wouldn’t have abided me being, what she would undoubtedly called, half-dressed. And my older sister? No way; she didn’t have much to do with me in those days…except that it seemed like she considered it an important goal of her life to snitch on me when I was doing something wrong.
