Student Residential Life is asking for a 2 percent increase for apartment tenants and a 2 to 3 percent room and board increase from dormitory residents. The apartment fee increase would be used to offset employee raises and benefit increases, such as medical in- surance. The increase would be used to add student assistants to the SRL work forces. According to Student Residential Life Assistant Director- Richard Boerl, the increases are primarily for employee salaries. The fee increases will also be used for capital improvements. According to Boerl, there is a "long, long list of things we feel need to be accomplished."

SYNOPSIS DESOLATION CENTER is the previously untold story of a series of Reagan-era guerrilla music and art performance happenings in Southern California that are recognized to have paved the way for Burning Man, Lollapalooza and Coachella, collective experiences that have become crucial parts of alternative culture in the 21st century. The feature documentary splices interviews and rare performance footage of Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Swans, Redd Kross, Einstürzende Neubauten, Survival Research Laboratories, Savage Republic and more, documenting a time when pushing the boundaries of music, art, and performance felt like an unspoken obligation. Directed by Stuart Swezey, the creator and principal organizer of the events, DESOLATION CENTER demonstrates how the risky, and at times even reckless, actions of a few outsiders can unintentionally lead to seismic cultural shifts. Combining Swezey’s exclusive access to never-before-seen archival video, live audio recordings, and stills woven together with new cinematically shot interviews, verité footage and animated sequences, DESOLATION CENTER captures the spirit of the turbulent times from which these events emerged.

  • 'Reagan at the Show' by Bill Cole
    REAGAN at the Show (!) By Bill Cole WHY I LIKE IT: Fiction Editor JOEY CRUSE writes… Bill Cole’s “Reagan at the Show,” is one of those brilliant, comedic juxtapositions that should make everyone happier for having read it. He rolls with concept as Saunders would or Vunnegut does with Mother Night, his style is sly and creative as if Douglas Adams were sitting right in front of you and playing word games, and he crafts as good a metaphor as Richard Brautigan could pull off any day of the week. This is clever at its most clever. I won’t get into the plot too much because it spoils the fun. Suffice to say, Reagan enjoys punk rock music. When I lived in Illinois, we would drive to other local small towns for football games, traveling to grandma’s house, and etc. – hills and corn shit. Yet, always, on the way back and forth from college I/we would invariably go through Dixon, IL – a small ass town that could boast about having an interesting bridge and the fact that Ronald Reagan was born there (if you went North and towards Iowa you could see where Grant lived in Galena, IL…woot). In Dixon, there are pictures of young Reagan throwing footballs, getting ready to go to California and be a star, I’m sure that his face is painted as a mural on the side of a main street building, you get the point: he lived there. The great part about Cole’s story is how he takes a man who I not only had to grow up with historically but also one that, as an adult, I’ve pretty much hated for his policies and turned him into the mythos of a cowboy that he may or may not have always wanted.

Three New York bands (the New York Dolls, the Dictators and the Ramones) had started something that would spread around the world like wild fire and come back to the USA like a hurricane. 1976 was the year that punk-rock became a mass phenomenon in Britain. But in the USA punk-rock was hardly what the British thought it was. "Punks" were the new beatniks, the new hipsters, the new bohemians, not necessarily the heroin addicts with barbaric haircuts and leather clothes. Punks listened to Patti Smith, Television and Suicide. It took a while for "punk-rock" (as in "violent, fast, loud") to conquer the USA the way it had conquered Britain. When it happened, this "hardcore" form of punk-rock became the national idiom for millions of kids, and would remain so for two decades. In fact, punk-rock of the 1980s consisted of a series of tidal waves of subgenres. Roughly, these waves of punks followed an existential trajectory that took them from the initial stance of nihilism and exhibitionism to a stage of no-nonsense sociopolitical awareness to a terminal stage of introversion ("emo-core").
