The Mystery of Disney’s Popularity at UCSD

by Susie Davidson // Senior Staf Writer

Students aren’t the demographic people usually associate with Disney movies, but we happily enjoy them anyway.

here is still, someplace in my mind’s archive of vague motifs gathered become cliche to complain about than Disney. They advertise for their movies from entertainment, this anachronistic idea of universities forcing using sugary fruit snacks included by parents in packed lunches, and the idea students to cultivate their own gardens. It’s an archaic idea that crumbles of Disneyland, not an unpopular destination for UCSD students, is insane. Teasily to dust after a year or so here at UC San Diego. The idea that students Disneyland is a vertically integrated experience. They call it the place “where are expected to return home as insufferable rose growers manifests itself in the dreams come true.” Also, everyone has heard someplace that Walt Disney shorthand we use to talk about ideas and feelings — tastes in literature and film. was anti-Semitic, which would matter to people in our sensitive era of ethical It’s possible that colleges never really introduced this agriculture of the soul consumerism if they were using their enthusiasm for the cartoons to make to anybody. It’s arguable that making other people do something so inner is some kind of moral or progressive statement. Students have been historically a impossible. What seems plain is that the understanding of colleges as authorities powerful political force, and they may continue to be — but a declared affinity helping students cultivate kosher taste is becoming unpopular. for Disney is an aberration from that and not an extension of it. It’s a fascinating mystery, why exactly this reputation of school-encouraged In the same vague sense that I think universities are supposed to make snobbery is dissolving. The reputation itself is wooly and blurred, so its students hip, I think that people with Latin printed inside little crests on their disappearance is hard to argue for — but one can perform guesswork that leads sweaters and notebooks are supposed to be embarrassed to keep abreast of to my point this way: Reputations inform behavior, and students don’t seem to Disney creations. People like to cite nostalgia, which only makes sense for be behaving in a way that suggests they think they’re expected to sophisticate movies that came out before we all grew up. Plenty of Disney movies popular on their pleasures. They don’t seem to be going out of their way to recognize campus were seen by the students for the first time as adults. Also, the popular themselves in this tradition or to agree with me that it even is a tradition. The Disney movies don’t retain the dated flavor of the decades from which they quintessence of this dissolution is the obsession, widespread among UCSD sprang very strongly. “Snow White” is very old, but it isn’t stylized in a way that students, with Disney movies. makes it belong to its time — anyway, I think that recent Disney films like One explanation is that the cult of Disney is backlash in concert to the “Frozen” would far outpace “Snow White” in any UCSD vote. For the fact of infiltration of pedantry into pleasure. Students could be ill at ease to surrender their contemporary creation and their contemporary style, Disney movies are the tending of their personal preferences to something as impersonal as an excluded from agreed-upon radness of a “Fantastic Planet” or a “Rainbow Brite,” institution. Who is to say what art is worthy of esteem? This tempting response both of which would make much more sense on a campus. is sensible, except for two glaring reasons. The disappearance of the idea is, I think, pretty new. The youngest students The first is that while one might think of schools as telling young people here can now probably remember a time when their older siblings were reading which writers to like as the prime example of this cult of cultivation, it is not something that was popular at their college. It’s hard for me to name any book, the only example. After post-structuralist and anti-racist attacks were applied new or old, which is very popular among UCSD students. It’s only possible to to the university’s definition of “culture,” there remained an array of books and name some films popular among UCSD students, and half of them are children’s films students were socially obligated to familiarize themselves with, both within movies. and outside syllabi. There are plenty of radical writers and filmmakers that one I don’t mean to say that UCSD students aren’t sophisticated or that they aren’t imagines as socially mandatory on university campuses, not for their classicism, enjoying challenging art. I just mean to say that when we do consume art created but for their volatility. People like Godard, Debord, McLuhan, or even trendier, for the adult world, we are all watching different films and reading different more pop people, like Neil Postman or James Howard Kunstler, are mostly books. It is as if we’ve all agreed that these are individual pursuits. They aren’t forgotten at UCSD, and there doesn't seem to be a newly chosen batch of outlaws the business of our peers and they certainly aren’t the business of our professors. to replace them. UCSD isn’t here to make us posh, and maybe that's the way it ought to be. There The second reason that the idea of Disney lovers as rebels doesn’t quite was something oppressive about the old-school campus culture anyway: There’s work is that if students were hellbent on making norm-disrupting statements nothing noble about getting everyone to think the same way even if it’s through with their tastes, a Disney movie would be a terrible cultural artifact to employ extremely cool pieces of art. It’s only a change in tastes stemming from the decay as their weapon. It’s hard to name a more naked symbol of conformism or of an outdated rumor, but I find it a slightly strange change and miss what was the unabashed, 1980s style of consumerism so universal that it has actually an endearing rumor.

It wasn't really hyped up fun like the rest of us, and his infectious middle of Khalid’s audience, surrounded much by any of the upperclassmen I knew, energy flowed out into the crowd. by other sweaty bodies.

It’s 12:11 a.m. and the remnants of Khalid’s performance still remain in my auditory cortex, verses from “8TEEN” permeating my mind. Perhaps even hitting a little too close to home at the declaration that he “still live[s] with [his] parents.” But never mind the potential of an existential crisis this line is about to give me. Sun God Festival 2017 was, personally, one downplayed from the start, unanticipated throughout the day and relatively laid back for the three hours spent at RIMAC Field. Like the true UC San Diego student I am, the morning was not spent pre-gaming, but shamefully working through a midterm study guide. Couple the looming responsibilities of week five with the need to commute from off-campus housing, Sun God was not necessarily a number one priority. The days leading up to the event were filled with statements ranging along the lines of “Hell yeah I’m going,” to “I registered just in case,” or even the “I have a chemistry midterm and I want to go to bed afterward,” so there was no consistent encouragement or universal excitement for Sun God this year. It didn’t help that upon arrival, the line still snaked all the way toward Peterson Hall around 4 p.m., with the sun boasting its heat on the poor souls with their empty Contigo water bottles. In my experience, Sun God hasn’t had much of a track record with heat — freshman year, it took on a “Cloud God” persona and the previous year’s spring weather was much more bearable. But this year, even the free Vita Coco water wasn’t enough to hold us over. Granted, the amount of bodies dancing and vibin’ their way to ScHoolboy Q added to the amount of heat settling around us, but nonetheless, this created an unusually spirited atmosphere at UCSD we can only get this one time of year. Fueled by ScHoolboy Q’s explicit declaration denouncing San Diego State University, moshpits and collective cheers from the crowd brought about the only school pride I had seen all year. Not to mention the aggregate walking back and forth between the two stages that seemed like a more joyful metaphor of the collective trudge up and down Library Walk. Performance wise, the field seemingly split in two — the main stage being more lively under the watch of DJ Mustard and the north stage chillin’ to the tunes of Khalid. Subsequently, festival goers would grab a Rockstar or two on their way toward the main stage, almost as if ritualistically preparing for a more stimulating atmosphere, just a few feet away. By the end of the event, feet were tired, hair was up and some food was desperately needed, but overall, Sun God 2017 did not disappoint. Thinking back to last year’s experience and the only recollection being that of Miguel’s all white ensemble, this year’s time spent at Sun God was relatively worth the 45-minute wait and occasional sweat-storm.

he UC San Diego softball team defeated Stanislaus Softball State in a four-game series sweep this past week. The team improved to 30–22 overall and 21–19 in TCalifornia Collegiate Athletic Association play. Game 1 UCSD defeated Stanislaus State in the first game with a single run. In the second inning, junior catcher Lauren Too Little, Sanders hit a homerun into left field to give the Tritons the lead and ultimately the win. Game 2 The Tritons overcame the Warriors in a 13-inning game Too Late 9–7. UCSD burst into the second game with three runs in the first inning, one apiece in the second and third and two in the fourth inning. Stanislaus State went scoreless through the first three innings; however, the Warriors came back in the game in the fourth, where they made seven runs to tie the game 7–7. The game stretched on for extra innings into the 13th inning when two Tritons secured runs to give the team a 9–7 victory. Game 3 UCSD defeated Stanislaus State in the third game by five runs, 12–7. Both teams scored their first three runs in the third inning. A very successful eight-run fifth inning gave the Tritons a hefty 11–3 lead. The Warriors never gave up, scoring a single run in the fifth inning, two in the sixth and one in the seventh. Their efforts, however, were not enough to overcome the tremendous lead the Tritons developed in the fifth inning. UCSD finished the game with one final run by sophomore shortstop Maddy Lewis. UCSD closed out the regular Game 4 Stanislaus State scored the first run in the fourth game season with a series sweep in the first inning. In the fourth inning, UCSD sophomore outfielder Caitlyn Weisner had a run-batted-in double to put but only after a playoff berth the Tritons on the scoreboard. UCSD pulled ahead in the fifth with an RBI-double by junior outfielder Kelsi Maday was out of reach that scored freshman outfielder Danielle Stedman and junior left-fielder Kendall Baker. The Tritons sealed the game in the seventh inning when Weisner hit a homerun for an RBI-triple. Stanislaus State scored a single run in the seventh inning to conclude the game 7–3. This series against Stanislaus State is likely the last series of the season for the Tritons. They were already eliminated from CCAA tournament contention and stand at 10th in the National Collegiate Athletic Association West Region poll and needed to be in the top eight to participate in the post-season by Richard Lu // Senior Staff Writer tournament.
