By Rikki King Daily Evergreen staff Senior Kaleo Keanu cannot wait to get his hands on the shiny new B3 organ sitting in Gregory Yasinitsky‘s office. “It’s going to be awesome,” Keanu said. “I’d love to play with an electric B3.” Until he can get his hands on it, the organ is accompanied by dozens of new, state-of- the-art musical instruments and equipment donated to the WSU School of Music and Theatre Arts by the Roland Corp. Mark Malbon, a 1977 WSU alumnus, is Roland’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. Earlier this year, Malbon called the music department and requested a wish list of items.

  • Colonial Relations in Action in the Celebrity Big Brother Household
    POPPADOMS , PRINCESSES , AND PRIVILEGE : (N EO )C OLONIAL RACISM IN THE CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER HOUSEHOLD DAMIEN W. RIGGS Writing on the topic of “celebrity colonialism” requires consideration of how colonialism continues to be reconfigured. More specifically, examinations of the “colonial” in “celebrity colonialism” must pay specific attention to the ways in which ongoing acts of empire (and the racial hierarchies they evoke) enact neo-colonialisms that assume a guise of inclusiveness, but which perpetuate colonial hierarchies. Importantly, however, it is necessary to recognise the existence of postcolonial challenges to neo-colonialisms that may occur in the celebrity sphere. The 2007 UK series of Celebrity Big Brother provides an opportunity to examine these various functions of celebrity colonialism as they played out between British and Indian housemates. Usha Zacharius and Jane Arthurs neatly summarise the events that occurred as follows: In January 2007, the UK reality show, Celebrity Big Brother , became the center of a political controversy when Jade Goody, a previous winner of Big Brother , and two other [British] contestants were accused of racial bullying of Shilpa Shetty, Bollywood film star and winner of the 2007 show. Goody and others coined ethnocentric and racist neologisms to describe Shetty’s cooking, her eating habits, and her nationality which resulted in the show attracting thousands of viewer complaints. The whole issue took on political dimensions in both India and Britain when Keith Vaz, a Labour MP of Indian origin, tabled a motion in the House of Commons criticizing the show’s racism, and Indian commerce minister Kamal Nath and others brought up the issue with visiting British chancellor Gordon Brown.

  • BIBLIOGRAPHY the Greenwich Village the Greenwich Village
    A Thoroughly IncomIncompletepleteplete,, Constantly Evolving, Partially AAANNNNNN OTATED BBBIBLIOGRAPHY for use with the Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl updated November 19, 2007 ... I. Writing By the Writers Broyard, Anatole. Kafka Was The Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir. A beautiful and very short book about living in the Village after World War II by Anatole Broyard, who became a legendary critic for the New York Times. Features a great story about Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin and how not to get punched by either of them. Crane, Hart. Hart Crane: Complete Poems and Selected Letters . Langdon Hammer, Ed. New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 2006. Crane is a difficult poet; although many scholars consider him one of the most important of the 20th century, he can be hard to read. Try “Chaplinesque.” It’s short, and it’s kind of about a kitten. Crane, Stephen. Stephen Crane: Prose and Poetry . New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 1984. Includes Maggie: A Girl of the Streets , The Red Badge of Courage , stories, sketches, journalism and poetry. Maggie takes barely an afternoon to read, but the images will stick around. Crane took a big risk by writing about the parts of New York thought unfit for literature. Dylan, Bob. Chronicles Volume I . New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. It turns out that Dylan is not only a good writer, but also funny as hell. He describes his mentors, his idols, and his friends in curt, unexpected sentences that are more often than not good enough to inscribe on someone’s gravestone.

We, however, argue that Reality TV is both a pervasive and important cultural form, and as such it is vital that researchers and teachers engage with it. We return to the controversial UK Big Brother 2007 arguments involving Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. We explore how the dynamics of class, gender and race played out in this case. Using this example, we look at how celebrity culture, ideas of truth and dominant discourses of White working-class culture position both the housemates and their audiences. We further argue that the coverage of the event foreclosed any discussions of White middle-class racism by drawing on discourses that denigrate the White working-class. In this paper we argue that Reality TV is an important social phenomenon as evidenced by the amount of controversy and debate that this genre generates. It is also a site of pleasure for both of us writing this paper and provides us with an intermingling of emotional pleasure and academic challenge.
