THE MICHIGAN REVIEW Volume 16, Number 2 The Campus Affairs Journal of the University of Michigan October 8, 1997 LEADERSHIP-2017: A Conflict of Interest?

In­ tended to foster a unique collabora­ tive experience for the campus's most involved students to interact with Uni­ versity staff, administrators, and other student organizations, most stu­ dents at U-M know little about the program, its selection process, or how it has affected the University commu­ nityas a whole since its inception in 1994. While administration officials boast about the numerous campus­ oriented services and projects per­ formed during and after each year's sll1tlmer program, a critical analysis of 'the program reveals numerous questionable attributes inherent in CAMPUS Leadership 2017's structure and poli- , ', .

    Annual Report 2010 | 2011 “The network is not viewed as ‘Columbia abroad,’ but, rather, as Columbia embedded in what is emerging as a global community of scholarship.” Ken Prewitt, Vice President for Global Centers A Message from Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah The poet William Butler Yeats once wrote that “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Since 2009, the Columbia University Middle East Research Center (CUMERC) has lit countless fires across Jordan with studies and policy proposals, workshops and internships, seminars, roundtables, and partnerships. In its first months, CUMERC’s purview has been as wide as it has been deep. It has energized the arts, with film and music projects that teach and inspire, as much as entertain. It has helped expand and enrich the work of our Teachers’ Academy, providing training programs and partnerships that have made it a leader in the Arab World. Our young people have had access to internships. Our students and scholars have crossed cultural barriers, as well as disciplinary boundaries, opening themselves to new thinking and horizons. Workshops on conflict resolution in school classrooms, courses on financial securities, partnerships with ecology experts… the list carries on into the fields of social work, family health, child protection, and Arabic language study. From such a small beginning, CUMERC has made an incredible impact to the benefit of Jordan and the region. It is in this spirit of educational exploration that I support CUMERC’s adventure into new fields of research in Jordan. As the future unfolds, I am excited that, together, we will be sparking more fires in the years to come.

  • Did Wigan Have a Northern Soul?

    Did Wigan Have a Northern Soul?

    Did Wigan have a Northern Soul? Introduction The town of Wigan in Lancashire, England, will forever be associated with the Northern Soul scene because of the existence of the Casino Club, which operated in the town between 1973 and 1981. By contrast, Liverpool just 22 miles west, with the ‘the most intensely aware soul music Black Community in the country’, (Cohen, 2007, p.31 quoting from Melody Maker, 24 July 1976) remained immune to the attractions of Northern Soul and its associated scene, music, subculture and mythology. Similarly, the city of Manchester has been more broadly associated with punk and post-punk. Wigan was and remains indelibly connected to the Northern Soul scene with the Casino representing a symbolic location for reading the geographical, class and occupational basis of the scene’s practitioners. The club is etched into the history, iconography, and mythology of Northern Soul appearing in the academic and more general literature, television documentaries, memoirs, autobiographies and feature films. This chapter seeks to explore the relationship between history, place, class, industrialisation, mythology and nostalgia in terms of Wigan, the Casino Club and the Northern Soul scene. It asks the question: did Wigan have a northern soul? This is explored through the industrial and working-class history of the town and the place of soul music in its post-war popular culture. More broadly, it complements the historical literature on regional identity identifying how Northern Soul both complemented and challenged orthodox readings of Wigan as a town built on coal and cotton that by the 1970s was entering a process of deindustrialisation.

    RECORD DREAMS 50 Hallucinations and Visions of Rare and Strange Vinyl Vinyl, to: vb. A neologism that describes the process of immersing yourself in an antique playback format, often to the point of obsession - i.e. I’m going to vinyl at Utrecht, I may be gone a long time. Or: I vinyled so hard that my bank balance has gone up the wazoo. The end result of vinyling is a record collection, which is defned as a bad idea (hoarding, duplicating, upgrading) often turned into a good idea (a saleable archive). If you’re reading this, you’ve gone down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. What is record collecting? Is it a doomed yet psychologically powerful wish to recapture that frst thrill of adolescent recognition or is it a quite understandable impulse to preserve and enjoy totemic artefacts from the frst - perhaps the only - great age of a truly mass art form, a mass youth culture? Fingering a particularly juicy 45 by the Stooges, Sweet or Sylvester, you could be forgiven for answering: fuck it, let’s boogie! But, you know, you’re here and so are we so, to quote Double Dee and Steinski, what does it all mean? Are you looking for - to take a few possibles - Kate Bush picture discs, early 80s Japanese synth on the Vanity label, European Led Zeppelin 45’s (because of course they did not deign to release singles in the UK), or vastly overpriced and not so good druggy LPs from the psychedelic fatso’s stall (Rainbow Ffolly, we salute you)? Or are you just drifting, browsing, going where the mood and the vinyl takes you? That’s where Utrecht scores.
