I think that given the reality of all of the folk around the country 
working on the ARPAnet, between the actual network development and the 
host system software and the application development, I don't think that 
Boelter Hall was all that central to what was going on either in the 
large or in the small, so your work will be really quite "fictional" if 
you're focusing on UCLA...
