  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • TWO TURNTABLES and a MICROPHONE by Andy Baum, C'72
    TWO TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE By Andy Baum, C’72 Growing up, my only career ambitions were to write for a newspaper and to be on the radio. When I was admitted to Penn I saw the chance to achieve both. So during freshman year I heeled both the Daily Pennsylvanian and WXPN. The DP was an august institution. A bunch of unpaid students somehow produced a well- written, full-sized print newspaper every weekday without benefit of computers. Everyone on campus read it. A leadership position at the paper was a serious credential, and helped launch many journalistic careers. The highlight of my heeling was spending election night in 1968 standing by the UPI teletype, ripping off and then delivering to the correct desk the election return reports. It felt important. WXPN wasn’t important. It was lodged in a few run-down rooms on the top floor of Houston Hall. Its AM station broadcast through electrical wires in the dorms. It had a Top 40 format. Since it was easy for students to hear the real thing on WFIL or WIBG, the audience consisted mostly of friends of the student DJs and a few other souls looking for an easy way to win a Campus Joe Pagano pizza by being the “third caller.” (Often, the winner was the only caller.) The FM side was more serious business, but it didn’t have much impact on campus life, and was barely known off-campus except among alumni who tuned in to hear Penn football games. I made the cut at both.

  • Phila DJ Lee Jolles Obit 20120805
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, August 5, 2012 Further Information See Contact on Page Two Doo-Wop DJ Lee, “Mister Lee” Jolles Dies; Philadelphia Businessman, Record Collector and Rock-and-Roll Group Harmony Expert Was Known Across U.S. From His Weekend Radio Show PHILADELPHIA -- Businessman, DJ, and doo-wop group harmony champion Lee, “Mister Lee” Bain Jolles, 66, died July 10th. A lifelong lover of the distinctly American rock-and-roll genre, Jolles owned a well-known Philadelphia cheesesteak eatery; headed the Philadelphia Group Harmony Association (PGHA) and produced sell-out oldies shows for the association for two decades. In 1986 he became DJ, “Mister Lee,” at a small Delaware Valley non-profit FM radio station whose weekend doo-wop listenership exploded coast to coast thanks to Internet streaming. Jolles’s funeral drew a “sellout” crowd of more than 500 persons, mourners who knew him from entertainment, radio, business, and listening to his 4-to-6 p.m. Saturday program on WRDV FM (streamed at WRDV.org) and the Live 365.com “Station PGHA” channel. Those Live 365 shows were recorded from his FM show and can still be heard today. Growing up in the golden age of rock n’ roll and group harmony, Jolles remembered being a nine-year-old elementary school student when Frankie Lymon’s, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” was first released. “…it seemed that the whole school yard was on fire! I knew I found our own music,” according to autobiographical “liner notes” on the Live 365 PGHA channel. Jolles attended West Philadelphia’s John Bartram High, whose alumni include doo-wop luminaries Lee Andrews and the Hearts, Danny and the Juniors, Patti LaBelle, the Superiors, the Blendtones and Little Billy and the Essentials, and, according to Wikipedia, Solomon Burke.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.
