George Capen Says.· During the past few days, I have analyzed this year's Alumni Fund, now at 33,500. Frankly, while I am not disheartened, the results so far are not encouraging. When the National Alumni Association accepted on behal f of all the alumni a goal of $50,000, it was done because we knew that all alumni realize the importance to Trinity of an outstanding faculty. We knew, too, that a successful campaign would depend on these two factors: ( 1) Increased contributions from those alumni who have given in the past, and ( 2) contributions from the large number of alumni who had not contributed previously. The increases are just not coming through, and the rate of new contributors is very disappointing. However, a cheering trend is the fine showing of our younger alumni, those of the Classes of '49, '50, and '51. I know that Trinity alumni are interested in the faculty both because of the importance of good teaching at the college and also in recognition of their own personal appreciation of the men still at Trinity who taught them. But we are going to have to do a lot better in this Alumni Fund if the increases in faculty salaries given last Sep­ tember are to be covered.

We’re getting into a few free shows and people are starting to send in CD’s for us to review. We’ve got a lot of new people pitching in to make this rag better than ever. Emily Kendy joins us from Vancouver and brings with her a very impressive resume (The Nerve, Discorder, Terminal City, Exclaim...). We’ll be featuring a different Vancouver based band each issue starting with scum punks the Excessives. With the new Arena and Rod Stewart having played Victoria, you can just feel that this is going to be a great year for live music around town. I’m always impressed with the turnout and energy of the younger crowds at the all-ages shows. Even if you’re old you should go check one out sometime. You might find it invigorating to jump in a circle pit of mohawked fury. It was great hanging out with the crew at Spitfire Tattoo special thanks to Rick and Amanda.

Emphasis is put on the society, its problems and disappointments. Several works are analysed to find the reasons for anger within the society. The thesis also investigates the situation in the United States of America and its influence on the writers of the literary movement called Beat Generation.

    DOI: 10.1515/genst-2017-0012 CLASS AND GENDER – THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN KINGSLEY AMIS’S LUCKY JIM MILICA RAĐENOVIĆ “Dr Lazar Vrkatić” Faculty of Law and Business Studies 76, Oslobodenjia Blvd 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia [email protected] Abstract: Lucky Jim is one of the novels that mark the beginning of a small subgenre of contemporary fiction called the campus novel. It was written and published in the 1950s, a period when more women and working-class people started attending universities. This paper analyses the representation of women in terms of their gender and class. Keywords: campus novel, class, gender. 1. Introduction After six years of war, Great Britain was hungry for change and craved a more egalitarian society. After the Labour Party came to power in July 1945 with a huge parliamentary majority, the new government started paving the way for a Welfare State, which involved the expansion of the system of social security, providing pensions, sickness and unemployment benefits, a free National Health Service, the funding and expansion of the 183 secondary school system, and giving poor children greater opportunity to attend universities. The Conservative Party returned to power in 1951 but did not make any changes to the measures that brought about the creation of the Welfare State (Davies 2000:51). Once a great world power turned to reshaping its society, in which the class system would become a thing of the past, its people believed that they were living in a country that was going through great changes (Brannigan 2002:3). The Education Act of 1944 was intended to open universities to everyone and thus expand the trend of educational opportunities to the less privileged in the society.

  • Harold Pinter: the Dramatist and His World
    Harold Pinter: The Dramatist and His World Background Nobel winner, Harold Pinter (1930- 2008) was born in London, England in a Jewish family. Some of the most recognizable features in his plays are the use of understatement, small talk, distance, and silence. These devices are employed to convey the substance of a character’s thoughts. At the outbreak of World War II, Pinter was evacuated from the city to Cornwall; to be wrenched from his parents was a traumatic event for Pinter. He lived with 26 other boys in a castle on the coast. At the age of 14, he returned to London. "The condition of being bombed has never left me," Pinter later said. At school one of Pinter's main intellectual interests was English literature, particularly poetry. He also read works of Franz Kafka and Ernest Hemingway, and started writing poetry for little magazines in his teens. The seeds of rebellion in Pinter could be spotted early on when he refused to do the National Service. As a young man, he studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Central School of Speech and Drama, but soon left to undertake an acting career under the stage name David Baron. He travelled around Ireland in a Shakespearean company and spent years working in provincial repertory before deciding to turn his attention to playwriting. Pinter was married from 1956 to the actress Vivien Merchant. For a time, they lived in Notting Hill Gate in a slum. Eventually Pinter managed to borrow some money and move away. Although Pinter said in an interview in 1966, that he never has written any part for any actor, his wife Vivien frequently appeared in his plays.

Un concert entre fureur et grâce. Nés à la fin des années 70, en pleine déferlante punk, The Stranglers ne cessent de se réinventer d’album en album, passant par le rock, le post-punk, l’électronique, la new wave et la pop. Leur son se caractérise par la basse à la fois mélodique et agressive de JJ Burnel et par les rapides arpèges de Dave Greenfield, joués indifféremment sur orgue Hammond, synthétiseur, piano ou clavecin. Sur scène et en studio, The Stranglers, ou du moins leur première formation jusqu’en 1990, se sont également distingués par un humour provocateur et des frasques devenues légendaires. Groupe très populaire en Grande-Bretagne, ils sont parvenus à placer un nombre impressionnant de titres et d’albums dans le top 40 britannique. The Stranglers entrent aujourd’hui dans leur cinquième décennie d’existence et d’activités effrénées, ce qui en fait l’un des groupes mythiques de l’histoire du rock et surtout l’un des très rares issus du mouvement punk à n’avoir jamais cessé de se produire sur scène.

  • The Amis Inheritance
    Martin Amis ­ Kingsley Amis ­ Writing and Writers ­ Books ­ Authors ... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/magazine/22amises.t.html?_r=1&o... April 22, 2007 The Amis Inheritance By CHARLES McGRATH Ben Jonson wrote: “Greatness of name in the father oft­times helps not forth, but overwhelms the son; they stand too near one another. The shadow kills the growth.” This Oedipal principle applies to all sorts of professions, but few more so than the literary one. It’s not unheard of for the child of an author to try his hand at writing. Stephen King’s two sons are writers, and so is one of John Updike’s. Hilma Wolitzer’s daughter Meg is a novelist, as is Anita Desai’s daughter Kiran, whose second book just won the Booker Prize — an award that has so far eluded her mother. But writers’ offspring tend to go into the family business with far less regularity than, say, the children of doctors or lawyers, and it seldom happens that over the long haul, and in the deepening shade, the younger equals or outstrips the elder — the way that Anthony Trollope, to take a famous example, bested his mother, Fanny. The exception these days is the curious writerly firm of Amis & Amis, founded by Kingsley, who died in 1995, and now run by his son Martin. Kingsley Amis, an indelible figure in British letters, is the subject of an immense and sympathetic new biography by Zachary Leader (published this month in the United States) that has already caused a stir in England both by reminding readers of how funny Kingsley could be and because of its frankness about his personal life.

  • Some Cultural and Linguistic Functions of Obituaries In
    WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE WE TALK ABOUT DEATH: SOME CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC FUNCTIONS OF OBITUARIES IN MODERN AMERICAN CULTURE A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF ARTS BY CRYSTAL D. KIDD DR. ELIZABETH RIDDLE-ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 2 Death is not an option, but writing and publishing an obituary is a choice—a choice that many people still make every day. The reasons behind it are many because published obituaries continue to serve many private and public functions. They announce a death to a community. They extend an invitation to attend a funeral both explicitly and often also implicitly to the general public. They are a permanent public record of a death. They are a commemoration of a life lived and valued as well as a written public rhetorical space for reflecting the personal and social values surrounding death and life within a society‟s mainstream culture. This study will examine how U.S. American mainstream culture writes about death as it occurs every day to ordinary people. Drawing from a number of sources that concern the interconnected fields of sociolinguistics, English language rhetoric and writing, communication studies, as well as my own original research, my primary aim here is to explore questions concerning what the modern, twenty-first century, U.S. obituary reveals about our cultural understanding of death and ways in which the modern obituary format influences how we announce, honor, and say farewell to the individual. Specifically, this paper will address two related areas of inquiry concerning obituaries as cultural and linguistic artifacts.
