It read, “I’m no longer accepting the things I can- not change. I’m changing the things I can no longer accept.” This quote set the mood for the occasion. Attentive Santa Clara community members gathered together for an evening of learning, solidarity and reflection. “#BlackLivesMatter: Where Do We Go From Here?” was held in the Sobrato Com- mons on April 24. The talk consisted of a panel of Santa Clara professors Danielle Morgan and Aldo Billingslea, as well as junior Sophia Parnell and senior Gary Vincent. To preface the event, the facilitators, sophomore Kirsten Dodre and senior Athena Nguyen briefly discussed the vandalization of a Black Lives Matter bulletin board that occured in the Casa Italiana Hall during the month of February. They said, “In light of these events, we stand with love, solidarity and critical reflec- tion with those targeted by these incidents.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.

Jones Minor League Basketball Organizations: Making Them Work 2002 Advisor: Professor Larry Litwin Master of Arts Degree Minor league basketball organizations have wilted under the competition's spotlight. These leagues tried to present fans with an entertaining alternative to professional sports. Minor league basketball's efforts to entertain fans have been unsuccessful. This study examines why these organizations have not succeeded. Through interviews, research and survey results potential solutions have been discovered. Eighty surveys were distributed to teams and executives from basketball organizations. The surveys obtained information on ticket prices, attendance and reasons why minor league basketball has struggled. The study revealed that minor league basketball suffers from a lack of leadership, fan interest and financial stability.
