 ==== DEI in the public eye ====
-There has long been an unofficial contest to see who could place the letters DEI into the most prominent public view. One of the most laudable efforts from the late 1960s was the painting of the letters DEI into the Caltech steam tunnels shortly before the crew of //Mission Impossible// filmed an episode there. The graffiti were ubiquitous enough that they did appear on TV, and examples of this stenciled graffiti are still visible around campus. (Other apparently contemporary graffiti contain the phrase "eat noodles". This has been presumed to corroborate and confirm belief in the foodservice origin theory.)

 Another mass-media appearance was in the film [[http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~erich/real_genius_refs.html|Real Genius]], although this was with the complicity of the film maker.
