So it won't hurt you people to know a good chunk of this
"entertainment"...mainly "The Campus Unrest" was shot on the very space of
this listserv's home, The Claremont Colleges.  Which actually has a long,
distinguished showbiz relationship, but none more intriguing than the spree of
Disney pictures from the mid-50's on("Absent-Minded Professor", "Shaggy Dog"
on to the "Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes")...the studio set decorators even
went over a whole dorm to give it that classic collegiate look.  The "Disney
Dorm" is like that to this day....There's much debate about why Uncle Walt
picked the place(though Disneyland was supposed to be built in Pomona),
several colleges are closer to the Disney Studios... the story is his daughter
went to school there and he wanted to keep an eye on her.
