Weekend Full of Color THE COLLEGIAN MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2015 FRESNO STATE'S STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1922 FRESNOSTATE.EDU/COLLEGIAN VINTAGE DAYS As pot lovers mark their holiday, ‘4/20 is the new everything’ By Rob Hotakainen McClatchy D.C. Bureau WASHINGTON -- In 1990, Steven Hager saw a flier that had circulated at a Grateful Dead concert in Oakland, Calif., urging peo- ple to meet at Mount Tamal- pais at 4:20 p.m. on April 20 for some “420”-ing, the num- ber that had become code for smoking marijuana in Cali- fornia. Hager, then the editor of High Times magazine, had never heard of it, but he was intrigued. Hager did some research, discovering that the 420 code had first been used in 1971, when five friends Paul Schlesinger • The Collegian at San Rafael High School Drew Baker, a graphic design major, participates in the sidewalk art contest near the Conley Art Building on Saturday, during the second day of Vintage Days at Fresno smoked pot each day at 4:20 State. p.m. “I thought, ‘This is im- portant!’ And you know ev- erybody thought I had lost my mind,” said Hager, 63, of New York City. “I start- ed talking to people and I WEEKEND FULL OF COLOR said we will build everything around 420 -- 420 is the new everything.” Mark Burns, co-own- As marijuana lovers mark BY THE By Trentyn Pues er for the Cobble Creek their unofficial national hol- @TheCollegian Soap which had a booth iday Monday on April 20, or NUMBERS at the festival, was im- 4/20, it’s a testament to Hag- Fresno State Vintage pressed by the local tra- er’s marketing powers.

  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The rise of neo-conservatism defined the critical context of many appraisals of artistic work produced in downtown New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although initial reviews of the scene were largely enthusiastic, subsequent assessments of artistic work from this period have been largely negative. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf have been assessed primarily in terms of gentrification, commodification, and political commitment relying upon various theoretical assumptions about social processes. The conclusions reached have primarily centred upon the lack of resistance by these artists to post­ industrial capitalism in its various manifestations.

    A Thoroughly IncomIncompletepleteplete,, Constantly Evolving, Partially AAANNNNNN OTATED BBBIBLIOGRAPHY for use with the Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl updated November 19, 2007 ... I. Writing By the Writers Broyard, Anatole. Kafka Was The Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir. A beautiful and very short book about living in the Village after World War II by Anatole Broyard, who became a legendary critic for the New York Times. Features a great story about Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin and how not to get punched by either of them. Crane, Hart. Hart Crane: Complete Poems and Selected Letters . Langdon Hammer, Ed. New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 2006. Crane is a difficult poet; although many scholars consider him one of the most important of the 20th century, he can be hard to read. Try “Chaplinesque.” It’s short, and it’s kind of about a kitten. Crane, Stephen. Stephen Crane: Prose and Poetry . New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 1984. Includes Maggie: A Girl of the Streets , The Red Badge of Courage , stories, sketches, journalism and poetry. Maggie takes barely an afternoon to read, but the images will stick around. Crane took a big risk by writing about the parts of New York thought unfit for literature. Dylan, Bob. Chronicles Volume I . New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. It turns out that Dylan is not only a good writer, but also funny as hell. He describes his mentors, his idols, and his friends in curt, unexpected sentences that are more often than not good enough to inscribe on someone’s gravestone.

Born in Brooklyn in 1960, to a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother, he grew up amid the post-punk scene in lower Manhattan. After leaving school at seventeen, he invented the character ‘SAMO©’, writing poetic graffiti that captured the attention of the city. He exhibited his first body of work in the influential group exhibition ‘New York/New Wave’ at P.S.1, Institute for Art and Urban Resources, Inc., in 1981. When starting out, Basquiat worked collaboratively and fluidly across media, making poetry, performance, music and Xerox art as well as paintings, drawings and objects. Upstairs, the exhibition celebrates this diversity, tracing his meteoric rise, from the postcard he plucked up the courage to sell to his hero Andy Warhol in SoHo in 1978 to one of the first collaborative paintings that they made together in 1984. By then, he was internationally acclaimed – an extraordinary feat for a young artist with no formal training, working against the racial prejudice of the time. In the studio, Basquiat surrounded himself with source material. He would sample from books spread open on the floor and the sounds of the television or boom box – anything worthy of his trademark catchphrase ‘boom for real’.
