  • Commissioner Deals Montana State's Tuition Hand, Waits for Students to Call
    Climbing "the Wa ll" Montana State to build 'green' office building Lucy Hansen Exponent news editor Last week the Senate passed the National Competitiveness Act, which will authorize funding for an environmentally sensitive con­ struction program headed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This program will use funding ($4 million dol­ lars). to construct "green buildings" around the country. One site of this revolutionary construction will occur in Bozeman. Last month NIST awarded $200.000 to Montana State to begin plans for the building's design and construction. The MSU Green Building will be located in the Advanced Technology Park west of the campus. The proposed building will house a variety of MSU outreach activities and programs, provide facilities for demonstrating commer­ cially useful MSU technologies and hold rooms for instruction and for lectures. Peter Perna. director of the MSU Center for Economic Renewal and Technology Transfer (CERTT) at MSU explained that a green building is considered to be environmentally sensitive for a number of reasons Many localities have specific energy saving codes that require a level of energy efficiency. Green buildings surpass many of these requirements. by incorporating environmentally friendly construction materials and practices. The construction of these buddings will use as many recycled materials as possible. and will do everythmg to ensure that when these green buildings need to be demolished that the materials can be recycled instead of just thrown away. Green buildings are also planned in compliance with the Environ­ mental Protection Agency guidelines. set forth to promote environ­ mental health for building occupants.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • December 1995
    Contents Features TRIS IMBODEN A drummer who can burn on gigs as diverse as Kenny Loggins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Al Jarreau, and Cecilia & The Wild Clams is obviously prepared for the most demanding situations. With the release of Chicago's contemporary big band album—as well as a CD of all-new material—it seems Tris Imboden has found the perfect challenge. Robyn Flans 34 PETE THOMAS Pete Thomas's best-known gig may be Elvis Costello, but lately he's proven perfectly suited to projects by Richard Thompson, Matthew Sweet, Los Lobos, and John Paul Jones/Diamanda Galas. A recent Costello engagement in NYC proved just the right time to catch up with this drumset chameleon. Adam Budofsky 56 THE DRUMMERS OF BRAZIL The city of Recife was recently the site of the very first Oficina de Percussao, a week-long celebration of Brazilian drumming. With this unique event as a backdrop, Brazil's top drumset artists gather 'round the table and describe what it is to ply the trade in the deepest percussive culture of all.

  • 5. Conformity and Obedience
    5. Conformity and Obedience When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. C. P. SNOW OVERVIEW Chapter 4 considered how Germany became a totalitarian state. This chapter looks at why the German people allowed it to happen. Chapters 1 and 2 offered insights into the importance we, as individuals, place on our membership in various groups. This chapter shows how the Nazis took advantage of that yearning to belong. It describes, in Fritz Stern’s words, how they used the “twin instruments of propaganda and terror” to coerce and cajole a people into giving up their freedom. A character in George Orwell’s 1984, a novel that details life in a state much like Nazi Germany, offers another view of the process. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer... There will be no loyalty, except loyalty toward the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness.
