Campus media

KECC radio station

The first time KECC was actually on the air experimentally was Career Day, April 27, 1994. This operation lasted only four hours, from 9 am to 1 pm. On November 11, 1994, KECC signed on the air for the first time as a regularly scheduled carrier current broadcast station. At that time, the frequency used was 1620 kHz.

The station was soon involved in emergency operation when heavy rains flooded the campus in January 1995, during Registration. The campus police radio system had been submerged by the rising water and had shorted out. KECC being on higher ground was still operating and became a radio relay station, with the police phoning in problems and the broadcast staff relaying them.

In the fall of 2000 KECC changed frequency from 1200 kHz to 1500 kHz.

The Union

The school newspaper The Union was renamed from The Warwhoop as a result of pressure to be more politically correct and sensitive to Native Americans. The newspaper has won numerous awards.

Athletics

Built in 1958, Murdock Stadium hosts some of the schools athletic programs.

In media

El Camino College has been used as a filming location since at least the 1970s. Visitors to the IBM pavilion at the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York City saw an Eames film that featured El Camino coach Kenneth Swearingen and the school football team.[6] Among recent movies shot in part at the College are:

  • Cheaper by the Dozen (2003 remake)
  • The Longest Yard (2005 remake)
  • BET's reality show, Baldwin Hills
  • The Italian Job
  • 1st & Ten, HBO series
  • The Dark Knight Rises

Performing arts

El Camino College has a 2,000 seat auditorium, a 350-seat Campus Theatre and the intimate 190 seat Robert Hagg Recital Hall.[7] The Marsee Auditorium, in addition to being the venue for South Bay Ballet's annual production of The Nutcracker,[8] is known for showcasing dance and opera companies, traveling artists and other Broadway, film and television veterans, such as Shirley Jones[9] and Gregory Hines.[10] The Marsee Auditorium as well as the other on-campus venues also host El Camino College resident performers.

Schauerman Library

The Schauerman Library serves as the research center of the college. The library houses the El Camino College archives.
