On April 1, the fi rst day of UNH Campus Pride Month, the trans South Asian art and activist collaboration will occupy the Strafford room in the MUB. Sponsored in part by MUSO, UNH Alliance, Trans UNH, and The Kidder Fund, the event is largely designed to ignite a community-wide dialogue about perspective, the nature of privilege, and the missed subtleties of political movements as wide-ranging and general as LGBTQ+ rights. “We try to bring programs, artists and speakers that have a social justice-centered message because as a group we really believe in inclu- sion and activism,” said a spokesperson for MUSO. “We rarely get speakers who encompass multiple marginalized COURTESY PHOTO DARKMATTER DarkMatter, the trans South Asian art and activist duo, will speak in the Stra ord Room on April 1.

In his novel, The Great SantiniPat Conroy spilled all the beans that a good son is never supposed to spill: He wrote about his brutal father, his cowed mother, his frightened and abused siblings, and his own defiant and terrorized young self, all thinly disguised, of course, as fiction. Like Bull Meecham in the novel, Donald Conroy really was a Marine fighter The Great Santini, really did beat and terrorize his wife and kids, really did drink to excess, really did swagger around and call himself the Great Santini. The book was a best-seller, and it was later made into a blockbuster movie starring Robert Duvall. His grandparents, aunts and uncles were horrified at the airing of family secrets, and they picketed his book events, urging people to stay away. And what of his father? What was the reaction of the brutal and sneering The Great Santini Santini? Pat Conroy, 68, lives in Beaufort, S. He's the author of 11 books — novels, memoirs and a cookbook — most of which are about that brutal upbringing. He started dropping by Conroy's apartment every morning to read the newspaper and chat. He turned into the world's most attentive grandfather. The metamorphosis didn't happen immediately, of course, nor did Donald Conroy love The Great The Great Santini right off the bat. When he first read it, he was furious. Then he wept.
