They included four new senators and one new chairperson. Eddie Cruz was appointed as the new chairperson of the Community Affairs Committee. Cruz said that he wanted to get involved in the Community Affairs Committee is because, the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee draws most of its students from the surrounding area. "We are basically a commuter campus," he said. Cruz said he felt the role of the committee was one of bringing the campus together to help the community. "It helps further the relationship between the community and campus," said Cruz. Cruz pointed to some of the successes of committee last year. Those included a third floor trick-or-treat program for commu­ nity children during Halloween and a Christmas food, clothing and toy drive. According to Cruz, later this semester the committee has set up an Easter-egg hunt. A specific date has not yet been set. In addition to the appointment of Cruz, four new senators were confirmed at the meeting. Tammy Rose, Scott Stepheon, and Heather Thompson were confirmed as senators for the College of Letters and Science. Heather Peterson was confirmed to the Student At Large position. •Post photo by Lee Jankowski According to Andrea Boehme with the four new confirmed Sometimes artwork has a multitute of meanings.

Between 1962, when they made their first recordings, and 1970, when they disbanded, the Beatles drew upon several styles, including rock ‘n’ roll, to produce rock: today a term that almost defines today’s popular music. In 1963 their successes in England as live performers and recording artists inspired Beatlemania, which calls to mind the Lisztomania associated with the spectacular success of Franz Liszt’s 1842 German concert tour.

  • Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound
    Royal Studios and the Creation of the Hi Sound Matt Hicks 2013 Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies To say the city of Memphis has a legacy of music is an understatement. From the home of the blues and to the birthplace of rock n' roll, from Elvis to Al Green, Memphis has served as a conduit of musical ideas, shaping and influencing upcoming artists with the legacies of their forerunners. The concentration of music in this city led to the development of many recording studios. In turn, these studios shaped Memphis's musical output. It is difficult to imagine rock and roll without the recordings created at Sun Studio in the fifties. In the following decades, soul music was nurtured at Stax and then Royal studios, creating a worldwide phenomenon. In many ways, Memphis’s recording spaces – and the producers and engineers that worked them – facilitated the growth of Memphis music. This is especially the case with Royal Studios. Unfortunately, many of the most successful of Memphis's recording studios were forced to close by the late seventies. Sun Studios began its decline after Elvis Presley left the label and am Phillips lost interest. The label was sold to Shelby Singleton and Mercury Records in 1969, and the studio was sold to an auto parts company, then converted back into a recording studio in 1987 and reopened as a museum. Stax met a similar fate in 1975, after several years of distribution problems with Atlantic Records and later CBS Records. Bankrupt by December of 1975, the Stax label was sold to Fantasy Records.

  • Genre and Parody in the Music of the Beatles
    GENRE AND PARODY IN THE MUSIC OF THE BEATLES by Michael Connolly B. Mus., The University of Toronto, 2013 A THESIS SUBMIITED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2015 © Michael Connolly, 2015 Abstract From the earliest outbreak of “Beatlemania” in 1963 to the announcement of their breakup in 1970, The Beatles fulfilled, exceeded, and reformed our conceptions of popular music. They have enjoyed an enduring popularity with critics and audiences and have cemented their position as one of the most celebrated acts in popular culture. Although it would be difficult to attribute their success to a single factor, it could be argued that their eclectic sound ensured their mass appeal. As their careers progressed, The Beatles effortlessly combined and moved between different genres. Many of these genres were atypical for popular music of the 1960s and can be regarded as parody. This thesis approaches parody as an important stylistic trait of The Beatles’ music. Parody is a broad concept that can be found in a number of forms of art and entertainment. By drawing from literary criticism and musicological discourse, this study develops a broader understanding of parody in which popular musicians evoke the music of another genre through borrowing and create a critical distance between their work and the preexisting one. Further investigation reveals how The Beatles applied parody to their music and how it was used by the band to connect with their listeners. In such songs as “Back In The U.S.S.R.” and “Happiness Is A Warm Gun,” The Beatles parody different musical genres in order to evoke social commentary.
