Genesis V Summer 2006 Edition GenesisThe Alumni Magazine of Saint Ignatius College Preparatory, SummerV 2006 developmentnews In This Issue … Genesis V owe much to Bill Morlock ’49, who retired this June after 45 anything; rather, he wanted to learn from me. (He epitomizes what years in the classroom, especially my passion for travel and it means to be a lifelong learner.) He was fascinated with Arabic — I for lifelong learning. I know only a few words — and with my Palestinian background. Bill’s genius as a teacher was simple: He brought the world to He held the same fascination for all who sat at our lunch table. He the classroom. In 197, he taught history to me and to my fellow sophomores and showed us that our world went beyond the con- crete walls of SI and the watery boundaries of San Francisco. He was able to do this because he knew more about the world than most people and had a passion for learning more. Bill enlisted in the Army in the 1950s at the height of the Cold War, found himself at the Army Language School in Monterey studying Russian, and then spent two years in Germany as an Army translator while learning German on the side. He also met his wife-to-be Renate, who was studying to be a librarian in Hei- delberg, and, in 1959, he toured Moscow and Leningrad — some- thing nearly impossible for Americans then. My classmates and I loved to hear him speak Russian, espe- cially when he read to us from Pravda, to which he subscribed. This, alone, before the fall of the Soviet Union, could get you in trouble with the FBI. In fact, on two occasions, the FBI called him in — the first time to ask about a paper he wrote while in the Army praising the Russian defense of Stalingrad and a second time to ask about a Russian friend who turned out to be a spy for the KGB. Bill taught us the realities of Soviet communism from first- hand knowledge, and he made sure that we memorized the names of all 15 republics of the Soviet Union. While most Americans wanted to know everything he could about a person’s roots, and thought Russia and the USSR were one and the same, Bill made those lucky enough to sit around him were able to see his mind at sure we knew where Azerbaijan and Latvia were on the map.

He wanted to learn from the intellectual exchange with students, and he wanted to share in their pursuit of truth and knowledge. I think I learned more from those lunches than I did from all my years at college and grad school combined. Bill’s knowledge was encyclopedic for several reasons. He has always been an avid reader and is passionate about many fields of knowledge. He is the only member of the current SI faculty who has taught in three departments — social science, religion and lan- guage, where he has taught five languages. Also, his wife, Renate, who has served as a librarian at SI for 34 years, has catalogued literally every book in the school’s collection. Her knowledge is just as broad as Bill’s. In an age where people have four or five careers in their life- times, Bill represents something solid and classical and permanent. Top: Bill Morlock in 1975. Above: Bill & Renate Morlock today.

  • 1974 Record Releases
    1974 UK Record Releases by Date This is a list of all UK 45 singles and EP’s found on the 45 cat website and any new release sheets as of the 25/10/16. Generally records that don't have a full release are not included. Some spoken word only records are not listed, plus “story” ones. Records that would have had a specific week when they were first released, but which dates have not been found, but are known to have been issued on an actual month are included at the end of each weekly listing for the month in question. Numbers in red indicate ownership on 45 cat for those with 5 or more. In some cases, such as chart hits, the number of “wants” is added on. Caution should be noted with ownership figure, as the record might have only been available as a promo record that wasn’t issued to the public. These however will be popular with collectors of records. If it is known to be never issued to the public, what is called on the 45 Cat site as a “stock” record. Then that will not be included. In some cases records by well known acts were never issued as “stock” and some of these have been included, but such records are shown as “promo only”. They are included to show that the record couldn’t have made the charts in 1974. At least as a UK issue! Records that made the charts of the time are only stated where no specific week has been found or if a chart record fails to score 5 ownership indications - indicated by the term hit.

    Flying Pigs © Keith Waddingto 2000 K. Waddington 2 Foreword A true story if ever there was one. K. Waddington 3 Clouds “The great Canadian novel.” Well, who am I to argue with curious critics, arrogant academics and innocent bystanders? I’m just the poor sap who wrote the damn thing. Like every great Canadian whipper-snapper of a cultural milestone—henceforth known as the kilometre marker—this short- winded little thing staggered its first steps in Ye Olde England. There I was, as Canadian as a Yorkshire pudding, with neither a single nor a solitary Canadian thought in my assassin’s line of sight. Of course, I’d never shoot to kill. The Canadian kneecap, a direct hit, make the bugger limp, that’s all. It was autumn and I cut through a neighbourhood park, where a few remaining roses yet bloomed, buttercups tested children’s fondness of butter, and dock-leaves cured the sting of a few remaining nettles. And then the front door: stained glass and lead twistings. Inside the hall: a tottering table piled with brown envelopes whose plastic windows warned “Last Demand,” or pleaded “Urgent,” all addressed to nomads who had moved on to another house with another table. I clambered the stairs, as sure-footed as a mountaineer on a shopping centre escalator, upwards and onwards to the attic, where Atticism ruled like a short sentence on a long page. K. Waddington 4 I slammed shut the door, turned on the gas fire and huddled. The roof slanted across the living room. The window looked upwards to heaven.

  • Step Right up a Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University in Partial Fulfillm
    Step Right Up A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy James M. Miranda May 2015 © 2015 James M. Miranda. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Step Right Up by JAMES M. MIRANDA has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick O'Keeffe Assistant Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MIRANDA, JAMES M., Ph.D., May 2015, English Step Right Up Director of Dissertation: Patrick O'Keeffe The dissertation is divided into two sections: an essay titled “The Genuine Fake: A Look at the Long Con of American Fiction” and a book manuscript titled, Step Right Up. “The Genuine Fake: A Look at the Long Con of American Fiction” presents a historiographical survey of the phenomenon of the “confidence man” in American culture and fiction. The essay positions the confidence man as a central figure in an ongoing national identity discourse. It looks to American fiction, beginning in the antebellum period and continuing up through the modern and postmodern age, as a means of deciphering certain cultural shifts in attitude with regard to authenticity and imitation. Step Right Up is composed of short stories that attempt to participate in, subvert, and distort certain elements of this discourse. The stories regularly dissect the prevailing mythos of the “self-made man” in America. Through their experimentation with voice, form, point-of-view, and language, they are fraught with cultural and individual notions of what constitutes the genuine and the artificial in the contemporary American landscape.
