    1999-2000 Report on UOutreach C ProgramsL A University of California, Los Angeles Co-Chairs Winston Doby OUTREACHVice Chancellor of Student Affairs Aimée Dorr Dean of the Graduate School of Education PROGRAMSand Information Studies Introduction: Continued Works in Progress UCLA 1999-2000 Report on Outreach Programs Introduction: Continued Works in Progress UCLA Outreach continues to be a “works in progress.” When the Outreach Task Force was published we realized that new programs would need to be developed. A program that focused on developing competitive eligibility, the Career Based Outreach Program (CBOP), was created using the best practices of the Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) and other campus outreach programs as a foundation. We also realized that an entirely new type of relationship with schools would need to be established. The school-university partnerships were built on the foundation of years of work with the California Subject Matter Projects and other professional development programs: Eisenhower, Math Diagnostic Testing Project, and Teacher Education Program. UCLA Outreach programs started the 1999-2000 school year serving 58 high schools and many of their feeder schools in seven school districts. UCLA will begin the 2000-2001 school years serving 59 high schools and many of their feeder schools in seven school districts. (See Appendix A for a “List of UCLA Outreach Schools and Districts.”) The change from 58 to 59 high schools results from several changes. Three high schools previously served by UCLA transferred to UC Irvine as SUP schools supported by funding from the UC Los Angeles Basin Initiative. Three high schools dropped from information-only EAOPs service and one high school returned to information/only service after a hiatus of several years.

Alcindor helped lead UCLA to consecutive NCAA Championships in 1967, 1968 and 1969. Coach Wooden served as the Bruins’ head coach from 1948-1975, helping UCLA win 10 NCAA Championships in his 24 years at the helm. 111 RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS #25 GAIL GOODRICH Ceremony: Dec. 18, 2004 (Pauley Pavilion) When UCLA hosted Michigan on Dec. 18, 2004, Gail Goodrich has his No. 25 jersey number retired, becoming the school’s seventh men’s basketball player to achieve the honor. A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Goodrich helped lead UCLA to its first two NCAA championships (1964, 1965). Notes on Gail Goodrich A three-year letterman (1963-65) under John Wooden, Goodrich was the leading scorer on UCLA’s first two NCAA Championship teams (1964, 1965) … as a senior co-captain (with Keith Erickson) and All-America selection in 1965, he averaged a team-leading 24.8 points … in the 1965 NCAA championship, his then-title game record 42 points led No. 2 UCLA to an 87-66 victory over No. 1 Michigan … as a junior, with backcourt teammate and senior Walt Hazzard, Goodrich was the leading scorer (21.5 ppg) on a team that recorded the school’s first perfect 30-0 record and first-ever NCAA title … a two-time NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team selection (1964, 1965) … finished his career as UCLA’s all-time leader scorer (1,690 points, now No.

The Warriors won the game 169–147, setting what was then a record for the most combined points in a game by both teams. The game is most remembered, however, for the 100 points scored by Warriors center Wilt Chamberlain. This performance ranks as the NBA's single-game scoring record; along the way Chamberlain also broke five other NBA scoring records, of which four still stand. As Chamberlain broke several other scoring records during the 1961–62 NBA season, his 100-point performance was initially overlooked. In time, however, it became his signature game.

Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game 2 Prologue Chamberlain, the Warriors' star center, was on a unique scoring spree. He had already scored 60 or more points a record 15 times in his career. On December 8, 1961, in a triple overtime game versus the Los Angeles Lakers, he had set a new NBA record by scoring 78 points, eclipsing the previous mark of 71 held by the Lakers' Elgin Baylor.

  • After the Towers: the Destruction of Public Housing and the Remaking
    After the Towers: The Destruction of Public Housing and the Remaking of Chicago by Andrea Field A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Philip Vandermeer, Chair Deirdre Pfeiffer Victoria Thompson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ©2017 Andrea Field All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of Cabrini-Green through the lens of placemaking. Cabrini-Green was one of the nation's most notorious public housing developments, known for sensational murders of police officers and children, and broadcast to the nation as a place to be avoided. Understanding Cabrini-Green as a place also requires appreciation for how residents created and defended their community. These two visions—Cabrini-Green as a primary example of a failed public housing program and architecture and Cabrini-Green as a place people called home—clashed throughout the site's history, but came into focus with its planned demolition in the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation. Demolition and reconstruction of Cabrini-Green was supposed to create a model for public housing renewal in Chicago. But residents feared that this was simply an effort to remove them from valuable land on Chicago's Near North Side and deprive them of new neighborhood improvements. The imminent destruction of the CHA’s high-rises uncovered desires to commemorate the public housing developments like Cabrini-Green and the people who lived there through a variety of public history and public art projects. This dissertation explores place from multiple perspectives including architecture, city planning, neighborhood development, and public and oral history.
