  • The Disappearing L
    1 The Soundtrack of Our Awakening I seem to have spent my entire life listening to boys talk about music. And sometimes, no matter how smart or untrivial or mean- ingful the boy might be, the sheer aesthetic presence of a masculine voice in record talk can get on my nerves. Because there are so many males talking, all the time, about everything, on television and on the radio, that I just get sick of men. —Sarah Vowell, Radio On We were not the first feminist musicians to sing out, but this tour jump-started a cultural phenomenon that would change the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and men; it laid the ground- work so that a dozen years later, young independent women could dominate the music industry. At the same time, millions of people never even knew it happened. —Holly Near, Fire in the Rain .

With that single purpose in mind the editors of the 1941 Redwood have undertaken to record the accomplishments and capture the spirit of the students of the University of Santa Clara during the year 1940-41. Hoping to catch the rhythm of events as they occurred to those who experienced them, the editors have adopted a method of approximate chron- onology of events, with some concessions to the technical limita- tions of a yearbook, as a principle of organization. If this method will recall to the students of the university in 1940-41 the excitement of a successful football team, the interest of the great "Cenodoxus" production, the mixed pleasures and pains of the last few weeks, crammed with final examinations, excursions, dances, term pa- pers, and the confusion which marks the close of every school year, then the end toward which the editors have bent their efforts will have been fulfilled.
