Commuters Will Sue Ask Equal Protection 55th Year, No. 23 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D.C. Friday, April 4, 1975 Commuters Will Sue AskEqual Protection by Lisa S. Smith Commuter representative on the Ralston cabinet Barbara Jackson is seeking free legal counsel m order to bring suit against Georgetown University in DC federal court to alot more freshman commuter beds, Jackson consulted the Georgetown Legal Aid Society which felt that the commuters had a strong case. The law film Covington and Burling was also interested in the case. The Wilmer Cutler and Pickenng firm would take the case only if the commuters could find legal precedence for their claim, and Jackson admits that precedence is one of the major obstacles to obtaining counsel, as few law firms are willing to take a case pro bono (without charge) which has no legal precedence.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: IN PRAISE OF BABBITTRY. SORT OF. SPATIAL PRACTICES IN SUBURBIA Kenneth Jackson’s Crabgrass Frontiers, one of the key histories of American suburbia, marshals a fascinating array of evidence from sociology, geography, real estate literature, union membership profiles, the popular press and census information to represent the American suburbs in terms of population density, home-ownership, and residential status. But even as it notes that “nothing over the years has succeeded in gluing this automobile-oriented civilization into any kind of cohesion – save that of individual routine,” Jackson’s comprehensive history under-analyzes one of its four key suburban traits – the journey-to-work.1 It is difficult to account for the paucity of engagements with suburban transportation and everyday experiences like commuting, even in excellent histories like Jackson’s. In 2005, the average American spent slightly more than twenty-five minutes per day commuting, a time investment that, over the course of a year, translates to more time commuting than he or she will likely spend on vacation.2 Highway-dependent suburban sprawl perpetually moves farther across the map in search of cheap available land, often moving away from both traditional central 1 In the introduction, Jackson describes journey-to-work’s place in suburbia with average travel time and distance in opposition to South America (home of siestas) and Europe, asserting that “an easier connection between work and residence is more valued and achieved in other cultures” (10). 2 One 2003 news report calculates the commuting-to-vacation ratio at 5-to-4: “Americans spend more than 100 hours commuting to work each year, according to American Community Survey (ACS) data released today by the U.S.

  • Tricks of the Light
    Tricks of the Light: A Study of the Cinematographic Style of the Émigré Cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan Submitted by Tomas Rhys Williams to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film In October 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the overlooked technical role of cinematography, by discussing its artistic effects. I intend to examine the career of a single cinematographer, in order to demonstrate whether a dinstinctive cinematographic style may be defined. The task of this thesis is therefore to define that cinematographer’s style and trace its development across the course of a career. The subject that I shall employ in order to achieve this is the émigré cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan, who is perhaps most famous for his invention ‘The Schüfftan Process’ in the 1920s, but who subsequently had a 40 year career acting as a cinematographer. During this time Schüfftan worked throughout Europe and America, shooting films that included Menschen am Sonntag (Robert Siodmak et al, 1929), Le Quai des brumes (Marcel Carné, 1938), Hitler’s Madman (Douglas Sirk, 1942), Les Yeux sans visage (Georges Franju, 1959) and The Hustler (Robert Rossen, 1961).

It argues that, whilst an increasingly democratised night allowed for more opportunities for previously marginalised groups, popular media of the period largely promoted adherence to the status quo. The thesis draws on extensive primary source material, including eighty British feature films and newspaper samples of the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror to systematically analyse the representation of London’s nightlife in the British interwar period. This period saw the consolidation of the popular daily newspaper industry and, after government intervention, an expansion of the domestic film industry. The interwar period also saw great social change with universal suffrage, technological developments and an economic crisis.

Weber, the journal, understands itself as a tapestry of verbal and visual texts, a weave made from the threads of words and images. Shaw on the Screen Few members of the turn-of-the-century literary intelligentsia were more interested in film than George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). As a playwright making a living with spoken words, and as a writer as voluble as the characters in his plays, it came naturally to him to have opinions about a new medium that would soon emancipate itself into a new art form, even as it took its first artistic prompts from the stage. Shaw was an original subscriber to the Film Society of 1925, a coterie of British and often left-leaning intellectuals that included Julian Huxley, John Maynard Keynes, and Roger Fry, among others. The group set itself the task of screening artistic films—frequently from the Soviet Union—which were not widely available in central Europe, with a view toward generating artistic and George Bernard Shaw political discussion. In 1928, one year before he would make his own first appearance in a sound film, after already having appeared in several silent short features, Shaw became outspoken on the subject of not-only-cinematic censorship.
