THEVol. XLi NumberVILLAGER 1 Stevenson University Stevenson, Maryland September 15, 2014 Improvements on campus increase quality of student life by Siegfried Schmidt Villager staff writer

As Stevenson University grows, so does the list of improvements necessary to keep the school running. Students do not have to look far to see many new additions that have been made this summer. An all-weather television was added to the patio outside of Pan- dini’s so that students can sit outside and socialize while eating with their friends. In addition, a new side pa- tio has been added to the Rockland Marketplace. Claire Moore, vice president of student affairs, said that she wants the new side patio to feel “like California, where everyone dines outside.” Many students may have noticed the crane next to the stadium on the Owings Mills campus during move in; it was used to hang the new letters on the building that read “Mustang Stadium.” A new Mustang logo hung on the Caves Sports and Wellness Center Photo by Tara Shishmanian Photo by Tara brings a little more prominence to the building. Moore explained that the new logo will help promote athletics at Stevenson. “We want our students to be proud of our university and its sports teams,” Moore said. The commuter lounge in Caves Sports and Wellness Center also saw some new additions this summer. Over 43 percent of students at Stevenson are either full or part- time commuters, and Moore believes that it is good for them to know that they have a place to relax when Photo by Ebi Short commuting to school.

Professor by day, progressive musician by night: Terence Hannum, assistant professor of art and visual communication design at Stevenson University, co-found the band, Locrian, which plays a unique and abstract genre of music. The band’s website describes their music as influenced by other genres such as 90’s death metal, Krautrock, drone and noise. It is like nothing you have ever heard. Essentially, the sound created is a harsh, experimental one, inspired by artists including Philip Glass and Luigi Russolo. Hannum calls their sound abrasive, “science fiction-y” and “apocalyptic” as a result of the instru- ments used, which include guitars, keyboards, drums, synthesizers, analogue tapes and other unusual instruments. A popular musical mode among this type of work is the Locrian Mode, the namesake of the band. Logically, this mode makes sense. However, audibly, this mode is very dissonant and creates a harsh, almost disturbing sound. This mode is locrianband.com Photo from also known as the “Devil’s Mode” and was banned in churches due to its satanic sound.
