	Kresge College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the north end of the college is the Kresge Town Hall, which has seen many groundbreaking performances, including the first Talking Heads concert on the west coast, and the legendary Acid conferences which included appearances by the like of Allen Ginsberg and Owlsley.
		Kresge was originally endowed by the Kresge family trust, whose fortune was derived from K-Mart; one of the early (and very ironic) nicknames of Kresge was 'K-Mart' college; considering the counter-cultural orientation of Kresge in the early days, it was about as far from the middle American K-Mart image as could be imagined.
		One of the alumni of Kresge, Marti Noxon, went on to produce Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and managed to sneak in-joke references to Kresge as well as Santa Cruz into many of the scripts, most recently in the Angel spin-off where a supporting character (Eve) is described as a graduate of Kresge.
