"We'd love to cut tickets in half. We'd make less revenue, but it would also cost less to run the operation.'' But even with the ticket volume reduced. Jones said students are still coming into his office at a rate of between 30-50 a day "IF THEY WOULD just try to park legally, we wouldn't have to write them a ticket." Jones said, "and if we didn't write tickets, nobody would come in here and complain." He added: "I'd enjoy that." The Parking Office, however, is not the sole parking authority. The University Parking Committee, comprised of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff and Shaffer and Jones, holds bi-weekly meetings to discuss parking matters.

  • Animal Imagery in Toni Morrison: Degradation and Community
    Cusanelli 1 Olivia Cusanelli ENG 390 Dr. Boudreau 29 April 2016 Animal Imagery in Toni Morrison: Degradation and Community Toni Morrison’s novels Song of Solomon and Beloved are rich with imagery of nature that often connects with the characters. Something which is not always a prevalent aspect of the nature Morrison describes but is inherently present throughout the texts is the detailed descriptions and portrayal of animals. There are some explicit connections between animals and characters, most significantly between birds and Milkman and Paul D and numerous animals such as cows, beasts, and a rooster. What is so unique about the animals connected with the two central male characters of Song of Solomon and Beloved is the underlying symbolism associated with man and animal. Throughout both novels Milkman and Paul D are on very different paths of the African American male. Milkman, brought up in comfortable middle-class wealth has not been subjected to hardship because of his race unlike many of his peers. Paul D on the other hand, has struggled immensely during his life as a slave. The novels are set in two different time periods, Song of Solomon during 1931-1963 in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia and Beloved in 1873 Cincinnati, Ohio with flashbacks as far back as 1850. These two vastly different experiences as African American men are possibly a representation of the progression of the social roles of the African American male. In her novel Beloved Toni Morrison uses animals to portray the degradation of African American men through Paul D who struggles to obtain an ideal sense of manhood, and in Song of Solomon Morrison uses animals to show that in order to survive in this country as a black male, one must share the struggle through community.

Some drove a day or more to get here, from Florida or Arizona or North Carolina. Others flew in from New York or California, even the Virgin Islands. One group of fans chartered a jet from Mobile, Ala. With scores of people turned away at the door, the 500 people crushed into the club begin shouting song titles before the music even starts. "The White Animals are baaaaaaack!" bellows one wild-eyed thirty­ something, who appears mainstream in his khaki shorts and docksiders - until you notice he reeks of patchouli oil and is dripping in silver-and-purple mardi gras beads, the ornament of choice for White Animals fans. Next to him, a mortgage banker named Scott Brown says he saw the White Animals play at least 20 times when he was an undergrad at the University of Tennessee. He wouldn't have missed this long-overdue reunion - he saw both the Friday and Saturday shows - for a residential closing on Mar-A-Lago. Lead singer Kevin Gray, a one-time medical student who dropped his stud­ ies in 1978 to work in the band fulltime, steps onto the stage and peers out into the audience, recognizing faces he hasn't seen in more than a decade.

  • In-School Mentoring Activity Manual
    In-School Mentoring Activity Manual Introducing the Manual and the value of Play Welcome to the In-School Mentoring Program. We hope you are as excited as we are about participating in a program designed to help boost kids’ self-confidence. Sometimes mentors and mentees can get stumped for activities they can do together in one hour. This manual serves as a resource guide. Here you will find new activities, games and craft ideas. Also provided are tried and true hints and advice from current mentors in the field. General information on children’s stages of development is included. This background information may help you to chose a more accurate game to play with your mentee based on his/her skill level, or may remind you of the outside factors your mentee is dealing with at his/her age. Mentors often ask “How does play activity benefit mentees?” Here is a brief response on the value of play… “On the playground of life, game playing equips each of us with the “rules of the game.” As youngsters, games taught us how to work together, to accommodate, and to help one another. Through playful moments, children can act out real-life situations. In imagined contexts, they can learn how to solve problems, look for options, and resolve conflicts. By winning or losing at games, children experience the real world but in less harsh fashion. Children learn about their environment and how to relate to other children, as well as grown-ups. They learn about healthy competition and about trying to do their best.
