  • Circle Staff
    Crew successful in Worcester - see page 12 THE Earth Day Students prepare for environmental awareness - page 4 VOLUME 44, NUMBER 8 Marist College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. APRIL 21,1994 Another burst by CIRCLE STAFF A letter to the editor in the April 14 issue of The Circle prompted yet another student rally, this one on Sunday, April 17, increasing visibility of racial tension on campus. It was the third rally in two weeks. Desmond Ebanks, co-chairman of the urban programming council within the Black Student Union, said he does not believe the majority of the campus is racist, though. "I know there is an element of racism," Ebanks said, a sophomore. "There is a lack of appreciation of cultural issues." He cited the letter, which refereed to multiculturalism and diversity as "nonsense," as proof that there is some level of intolerance on campus. Raul De La Rosa,' president of El Arco Iris Latino, said the was of­ fended by the letter. ' "When I saw that (letter), I cried," he said. "I don't usually cry in public, but I cried when I saw that... I can't understand how anyone can say multiculturalism is nonsense. "It's just one person's view, but I'm offended," he added. Marshalita Cross, president of the BSU, said she was disappointed the author of the letter, Jon DeRise, a freshman, did not attend the rally in the Champagnat Hall breezeway. "It is unfortunate that an individual has such ideas and is not able to come out and defend them," Cross said. DeRise did not return The Circle's phone calls.

  • Chapter Three the World's Most Perfectly Formed
    CHAPTER THREE THE WORLD’S MOST PERFECTLY FORMED MIDGET WRESTLER The link between the expanse of the delta and the twelve-inch pieces of black vinyl that recorded the region’s sound is peanuts. Beale Street would have drawn Howlin’ Wolf from the country, smelling like a mule and covered in mud. Wolf might have established himself as a performer in the clubs and enjoyed a career, in Memphis or Chicago, thrilling audiences with his powerful persona. But getting that power onto vinyl, and getting the vinyl to places where people could hear it and buy it, was the direct result of what easy listening, big band fan Buster Williams learned as a young man selling peanuts. In 1949, the same year Dewey Phillips went on the air, Williams estab- lished Plastic Products, Inc., an independent, non-affiliated record pressing plant. Just two weeks earlier, a plant on Long Island, New York, became the first independent. Williams was the second, but in Memphis he was far from the controlling influence of the major labels on either coast. His empire already included jukeboxes (Williams Distributors) and record distribution (Music Sales). The Quonset hut called Plastic Products completed the system that would lay the physical groundwork for the growth of rock and roll. “What it boils down to,” says the soft-spoken Leon “Mack” McLemore, who, as manager of the record distributorship, was at the nucleus of Williams’s web, “is that Buster knew that through Music Sales putting the records out on our jukeboxes, we could sell enough to get our money back for pressing costs.

  • Women's Roles in Professional Wrestling, Examined Through The
    Women’s Roles in Professional Wrestling, Examined through the Lita-Trish Rivalry Deirdre Connolly CMS.997 Spring 2007 There is an ongoing battle between the women of professional wrestling, and not just about title belts. In fact, this conflict goes back to the earliest days of women in the ring, back when they were little more than a sideshow attraction to fill up the card. This is the battle between whores and beasts, of warriors and wimps, of true athletes and true women, and what defines all these roles in the scope of the constructed world of professional wrestling. From those early days of athletic women’s wrestling but no character other than that of a freak show, to the modern era where Barbie dolls and pinups will face true ring athletes that have to fight to be called female, the roles of women in wrestling have evolved and shifted, but at the same time still reflect the ongoing gender biases of our society and the male dominated wrestling world. This evolution of women’s roles is seen most clearly through one of the most important rivalries in the history of women’s wrestling, that of Lita and Trish. These women started out in completely different roles, one a strong, athletic yet sexy woman, the other as pure eye candy, a wrestler’s accomplice and tramp with no ring skills to speak of. By the end of their careers, they had run the gamut of roles and feuds, confronting each other and the stereotypes and obstacles that athletic women face, both in wrestling and in real life, and ended up almost exactly where the other had started in the business.
