A LETTER FROM As much as we wish COVID-19 would vanish as fast as it came, Bishop Kelley continues to plan conservatively for the OUR PRESIDENT future. Due to social distancing requirements, some of our major fundraising activities have taken a different course. Although many have been generous contributors to these activities, our overall fundraising goals have come in under budget, while the demands for tuition assistance and other needs paid for through fundraising dollars have stayed the same. This year, we are putting a renewed focus on our annual fund, Believe in Kelley. Much like one offers a consistent tithe to one’s parish or church community, it is our hope that many donors like you will consider committing to making a monthly gift to this important fund for the school. For myself, committing to a monthly gift allows me to be Dear Bishop Kelley Community, more generous over time versus making a one-time gift.

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.

It is a day when we tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. We remember how you came, Lord, and we anxiously await your return. You promised to return, and like Israel in the days of old, we expectantly await the fulfillment of your promise. It is hard down here, Lord, and we know that you know all about it. They treated you mean; treat us mean too! Your body [would be] broken, but you came anyway. They made you be born in a manger, but you came anyway. Our eyes was blind, but you came anyway.

  • BA Ritgerð the Change of Tides
    BA ritgerð Japanskt Mál og menning The Change of tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Henry Fannar Clemmensen Leiðbeinandi Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning The Change of Tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Henry Fannar Clemmensen Kt.: 260294-3429 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 1 Abstract Non-Japanese sumo wrestlers are common today, but that has not always been the case. For over a thousand years sumo tournaments were exclusively held by Japanese men, and up until the 1960s foreigners were almost unheard of in the professional sumo scene. As the world’s modernization and internationalization accelerated so did foreign interest in the National sport of sumo. Today the sport has spread to over 87 countries which have joined the International Sumo Federation. With an interest in professional sumo in Japan at an all-time low and with fewer wrestlers applying to stables than ever before, viewers of tournaments and media coverage of events has been decreasing, which is closely followed by western originated sports having overtaken sumo in popularity e.g. soccer and baseball. Yet the interest in sumo on an international scale has increased considerably. In which way has this rising internationalization affected the sumo world and the professional sumo world and how is it reflected in modern Japanese society, in what way did the wrestlers coming from overseas experience the sumo culture compared to how it is today? Today the sumo scene is largely dominated by Mongolian wrestlers, how did this come to pass and how has the society of Japan reacted to these changes.
