When World War II ended, federal authorities were anxious to suggest that the Japanese-origin population that had been interned in various camps during the war was smoothly returning to normal activities (such as attending UCLA). The War Relocation Authority released the photo above and the interpretation below.
The text above - which appears to be a Ditto copy based on the color* - reads: Nisei students arriving on the campus at the University of California in Los Angeles. In the foreground is Michiko Kataoka. Behind her are Mr. Evan Oyakawa and Miss Meriko Hoshiyama. The girls are from Manzanar, and Evan is from Heart Mountain. Royce Hall is in the background. These three Nisei are thoroughly at home at U.C.L.A., one of the largest, most beautiful state universities in the nation. It is at Westwood Village, just off busy and fashionable Wilshire Boulevard, between Los Angeles and the ocean.

More likely "Ditto" rather than "Mimeograph", again based on the color.
Your right! Will change.
