Witnessing traditional education being turned upside down and familiar physical spaces like classrooms and computer labs being replaced by virtual classrooms has been nothing short of extraordinary. For now at least, we no longer enter a classroom on campus and expect to be greeted by the familiar smiles of peers, or sit at desks that have been ours since the semester started. It saddens us to think of the many high school and university students who had their moments of glory stolen from them: student athletes who worked for years to arrive in their senior year, only to see the tournament season shut down. And all the other students who worked hard and struggled for years in anticipation of going up on stage in their school auditoriums to receive due honors and recognition--they too had to settle for joining online commencements, missing last opportunities for heartfelt goodbyes, handshakes, and hugs. But in spite of the challenges we have all encountered, it’s comforting to see how students at AUS have managed. And what is most remarkable is the level of resilience that so many students exhibited in adapting to these changes. Not only did students manage to get by, many excelled, as this collection of essays demonstrates. To all the first-year students entering AUS in the Fall of 2020, we certainly anticipate some of your anxieties. As the father of a student entering his junior year of university in the States, I know some of these anxieties. Some are questioning if they should even continue a university experience that takes place exclusively at the computer on the desk in the bedroom. Many students, my son included, are considering taking a gap year to wait out the whole pandemic/quarantine. For those of you who feel daunted by the prospect of succeeding in a writing course which will take place in a virtual classroom, we offer these essays to you. They are written by students who have been where you are now. Many of them also endured distance from classmates and teachers, and spent a good portion of their Spring semester in quarantine. Our goal with the DWS Reader is to offer students an opportunity to read outstanding essays which are current and culturally relevant. This time-honored project continues to represent the heart of what we are trying to achieve in the first-year writing classes in the Department of English: student empowerment and critical engagement. We hope you enjoy it!

Riding a rickshaw with the sound of the engine roaring in my ears and the sand blowing in my face, along with admiring the grandeur yet elegant simplicity of the date tree in my grandparents’ home was all an unexpected, pleasant surprise. Initially, poverty and crime were only some of the derogatory terms that floated through my mind. Despite my initial expectation of Khartoum, Sudan being the embodiment of a third world country, once I laid eyes on the land, the home that runs in my veins, I realized my preconceived notions of Khartoum were flawed. The modernness of the facilities, degree of conservativeness, and overall safety and atmosphere were quite unlike what I had presumed. Growing up as a Sudanese American, I constantly felt like my cultural identity was not concrete. I didn’t have a strong cultural connection to Sudan, despite my parents’ efforts to speak the Sudanese dialect at home. My parents also made it important that my brother and I attended events hosted by our Sudanese community. However, I still wasn’t quite in touch with my roots, so my parents decided to take me to visit my extended family in Sudan. Considering that I was born and raised in New York City, I was used to being in an open- minded society with a variety of food, technology, art, and people surrounding me. 6 Therefore, when I would overhear my parents talking to relatives in Sudan about the corrupt government and constant electricity cuts, I was horrified and assumed the worst about Sudan. Initially, I had expected Khartoum to be lacking in modern facilities, and rather have more traditional, worn-down commodities. As soon as we would land, a swirl of dust and wind, which I eventually came to know as a “kataha”, would greet me. Houses made of makeshift objects would be scattered everywhere. In these houses, I thought we would be forced to sleep on wooden beds with a thick string-like material as a base, just like I had seen in my sixth-grade history textbook. I still recall feeling quite embarrassed when we discussed ancient Nubia and attempted to discreetly drive any peering eyes away from me. A myriad of Google searches led me to believe that I would have to use a squat toilet, which is when the toilet is on the ground. Fear and shock coursed through my veins. The searches continued to bombard me with images of what is typically associated with “third-world”. Little to no electricity with candles mainly illuminating houses, lack of sanitary water with wells being the primary source of relatively decent water, and disconnectedness from the rest of the world due to a lack of internet connection would all be major issues. Although Sudan is not as advanced as some of its neighboring countries, such as Egypt, Khartoum combines tradition and customs with relatively modern facilities. Although “angarebs”, the aforementioned wooden beds, were present in the majority of households, many households, including ours, had modern beds, similar to the Western-style.

    The Truth About Physician Participation in Lethal Injection Executions*

    THE TRUTH ABOUT PHYSICIAN PARTICIPATION IN LETHAL INJECTION EXECUTIONS* TY ALPER** Recent court rulings addressing the constitutionality of states' lethal injection procedures have taken as a given the faulty notion that doctors cannot and will not participate in executions. As a result, courts have dismissed the feasibility of a remedy requiring physician participation, and openly expressed suspicion of the motives of lawyers who would propose such a remedy. This Article exposes two myths that have come to dominate the capital punishment discourse: first, that requiring physician participationwould grind the administrationof the death penalty to a halt because doctors cannot participate; and second, that advocating for such a requirement is a disingenuous abolitionist strategy as opposed to a principled remedial argument. As this Article demonstrates through a review of available research and recent litigation, doctors can, are willing to, and in fact do regularly participatein executions, though often not in the manner necessary to ensure humane executions. Lawyers for death row inmates have argued that skilled anesthetic monitoring by trained medical professionals is a necessary component of a constitutional three-drug lethal injection protocol. In response, state officials have strategically emphasized the positions of national medical associations (the ethical guidelines of which are not binding on doctors) and exaggerated their inability to * © 2009 Ty Alper. ** Associate Director, Death Penalty Clinic, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law.

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.
