Remember the Glory Days? We do. That's why we brought back this classic 1960s video of UCSB's beautiful Campus by the Sea.
Watch and tell us what you remember: how much have things changed and which things have stayed the same?
The Blue Books haven't changed!!
I was born Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital 1958 so I was four when this was filmed that's why i don't remember any of this
It was such a different time!
This must have been filmed around 1961 or 62. It could just as well have been the late 1950's. A reminder of how UCSB students looked and what campus life was like a few years before "the pill," the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Vietnam War, and the counterculture changed almost everything.
Looks like a normal country full of normal, well mannered, well dressed, happy & care free people. Shame what happened soon after.
When the camera pans to the Bulletin Board for events, Most of the dates are (late)1962. Which should accurately date this film along with the clothing and hair styles.
That's the year I started there, and I heard some of those speakers. There were only maybe four or five thousand students back then, so we usually had small classes. I don't recognize anyone in this film though. Cactus Jack Curtis was the football coach, a really friendly guy, but I don't recall that the team won very often. My sister studied at UCSB a few years later, during the often violent anti-VN War protests, when a bombing killed the caretaker of the faculty club and the Bank of America branch in Isla Vista was torched, along with several other buildings. A student was also shot and killed by the police. It got so wild that Governor Reagan ordered a curfew and the National Guard was ordered to patrol the campus. My sister decided to leave after her junior year and finished her BA elsewhere. I'd forgotten how we dressed back then. It all seems like ancient history now. :)
So much open space and less crowding. I attended 1979-83 when campus had grown much more.
Didn’t they have a population cap that was lifted in the 80’s. I seem to remember my Father saying that .
There was a moratorium on new water hookups that kept population growth down. When that was lifted, growth took off. I left in ‘83, but grew up in SB. Very different now.
Debra Northart I grew up there born at Goleta hospital in 76. My mom moved to Oregon in 86 so I lived part time with her and part time with my dad in Santa Barbara. My dad owned a business by la Cumbria plaza. I went to la colina Jr high and San Marcos. My grandmothers went to the same schools. I go to visit family these days but they are all leaving as well. Two of My uncles were sherifs in the 80’s.i recently went to Goleta beach and a lot of the shores are washed away almost to the restaurant. The restaurant at Henry’s beach closed. I still love it there but cannot afford it.
class of '85! go gauchos.
What ever happened to the “cart race” tradition at 9:48? I graduated from UCSB in 1999 and I don’t remember ever seeing this.
incredible
Glad to see UCSB as a top 5 public university in 2019!
I love my Alma mater. Shout out to the Gauchos
OMFG!!!! Minority spotted at minute 16!!!! Now in all seriousness, very interesting to see the campus then. I can see the nothingness of half-dry grass in what would become my schoolwork headquarters.
There weren't many minority students back in the early and mid 1960s, a sprinkling of Asians and a few Hispanics. One of my classmates was a Cherokee-Choctaw from Oklahoma, who got his PhD and then worked at a university in the Midwest. He was a big lug, but his wife was a petite little blue-eyed blonde. I don't remember any African Americans, and the only Black student I recall was a South African who was my classmate. (I remember that his wife was a tribal princess from Malawi.) Hulme Siwundla was his name.
@@cliffseaman6802 why you said his name?

Hard to believe the young adults in this video are all in their 70s and 80s
It's hard to believe that time goes by so fast and we are young for such a brief moment..
Did they have to write personal insight question ?

Where are the Quonset huts for housing?

You can hear what it was like with all the birds. Birds species are in a heavy decline.

Early 1960s..... Preparing the men for Vietnam and the women to be wives in Simi Valley.......
