Campus News Editor After years of unpredictibility that left students confused, the shuttle system has a new route and a set schedule. The morning shuttle runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights. The Saturday shopping shuttle still runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every week. Neil Heckman, the junior Student Government Association senator working on the shuttle system, saw plenty of flaws in the system that had been in place in previous years. “The biggest complaint from last year was consistency,” Heckman said. “So far this year, there have been no complaints about time,” he said. Heckman drafted the Xavier University Shuttle Service Proposal last spring in collabora- tion with administration, Campus Police and students. Last semester, Heckman sent out a survey to students about the shuttle system.

It’s certainly no secret that we bolster a rich history, originated by William F. and Theobald Ludwig in 1909. These pioneers laid a solid foundation of drummers and percussionists creating instruments for the needs of generations of players. That tradition continued with William F. Ludwig II (or “The Chief” as he has come to be known). The Chief’s dedication to the Ludwig Legacy went way beyond his name. It was his dedication to everyone from the craftsmen at the Ludwig factory, to the drummers who played his creations that established the feeling of a true Family. From Damen Avenue in Chicago to our current facility in Monroe, NC., The Ludwig Family continues on in its founders’ tradition as a notable American manufacturer.

  • The Evolving Economic Geography of the Music Industry
    The Martin Prosperity Institute Sonic City: The Evolving Economic Geography of the Music Industry Richard Florida and Scott Jackson January 2008 Sonic City: The Evolving Economic Geography of the Music Industry Richard Florida and Scott Jackson January 2008 Florida ([email protected]) is Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute and professor of business and creativity at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. Jackson ([email protected]) is a doctoral student in the School of Public Policy and George Mason University Abstract Our research examines the changing economic geography of the music industry over the past several decades. It does so by tracking the location of musicians and music groups from 1970 to 2004 in 31 large U.S. metropolitan areas. It also provided a more detailed cross‐sectional analysis of the geography of music employment and music‐related business establishments for all U.S. combined statistical areas, core based statisical areas and counties in 2004. Our analysis suggests that the music industry is simultaneously becoming geographically both more concentrated and more spread out. On the one hand, New York and Los Angeles remain dominant centers, and a larger share of musicians overall is concentrated in fewer metros than in 1970. Furthermore, Nashville has emerged over time as a major center for the music industry alongside New York and Los Angeles. On the other hand, we find evidence of the persistence of smaller musical centers and scenes in smaller communities such as Billings, Montana. We suggest that these tendencies reflect the ongoing economic and spatial restructuring of the music industry brought on by technological changes which have lowered the costs for producing, distributing and consuming music.

    ® The Recording Academy 3030 Olympic Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90404 www.grammy.com THE RECORDING ACADEMY® PRODUCERS & ENGINEERS WING® TO HONOR JACK WHITE AT 10TH ANNUAL GRAMMY® WEEK CELEBRATION Annual Celebration Will Pay Homage to 12-Time GRAMMY® Winner At The Village Studios In West Los Angeles On Feb. 8, 2017 ® SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2016) — Multi-GRAMMY winner Jack White will be honored at The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® GRAMMY Week celebration on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2017, at The Village Studios in West Los Angeles. The annual event, now in its milestone 10th year, will celebrate the artistic contributions of the P&E Wing's 6,500-plus professional members, and will highlight White's accomplishments and ongoing support for the art and craft of recorded music. GRAMMY Week culminates with the 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards® on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017, airing live on the CBS Television Network, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. "For years, we've marveled at Jack White's prodigious musicianship and have revered him as a guitar- playing mastermind, but we think it's important to recognize his significant contributions 'behind the glass' as well," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "There seems to be no limit to Jack's pioneering creativity and unbridled passion, and it's those qualities that embody the spirit of all of our Producers & Engineers Wing members. It's with great pride that we honor such a talent who is committed to working diligently to ensure that the quality and integrity of recorded music are captured and preserved." When The White Stripes started in 1997 no one, least of all White, expected that a red, white and black two-piece band would take hold in the mainstream.
