Does anyone know of a student group or organization that explores museums and nature and places of cultural interest at UCLA? I have a student here who wants to do this...

The lovely Pam Cysner of the Center for Student Programming suggests the Cultural Affairs Commission Diversity Tours program. Another avenue may be the International Student Association (they have trips with busses). The other ones would be the Recreation or Dance Groups, i.e. Salsa Club. And since there is no general 'local touring' student group at UCLA, maybe make your own! It only takes 3 people to create an official student group, and you can be the 'president' which looks pretty fancy on resumes...

Since you guys seem to favor "hipper" rather than more historic places, the Monaco Washington might also be considered: http://www.monaco-dc.com/hotel/penn-quarter.html

Weill's Department store built in 1883. Closed in 1952.
Does anyone know where this was, What street?
Brian P. replied:
Found this on a different website from where the photo was. "Alphonse Weill came from France to Havilah in 1870 and moved to Bakersfield in 1872, was employed by merchant Jacob Weil (No Relation), and became his partner in 1873. Subsequently Weill acquired the business and named it Weill's Department Store. A brick building replaced the wood structure in 1887 and was rebuilt after the fire in 1889. Weill died in 1946 and the firm was sold in 1952, but continued to operate as Weill's until 1963."

There is an extension of Bakersfield College on Chester called Weill Institute.
David L. replied:
Roberta Nilsson, I recall the Weill Institute being named in honor of Lawrence Weill. Jose Quinones, there is a Weill Park at "Q" and James streets.
