  • SOUL ASYLUM Biography by Arthur Levy
    SOUL ASYLUM biography by Arthur Levy “It’s a crazy mixed up world out there, Someone’s always got a gun and it’s all about money You live with loneliness, or you live with somebody who’s crazy It’s just a crazy mixed up world …” (“Crazy Mixed Up World”) Chapter 1. Every Cloud Has One Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998’s Candy From a Stranger. That album inadvertently kicked off a seven-year sabbatical for the group, which telescoped into the death of bassist Karl Mueller in June 2005, the other founding member of the triumvirate that has steered Soul Asylum through rock’s white water for the past two decades plus. The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York – within three days.

  • Arab States Have Trouble in New World Order by LAUREN AQUINO International Peace Studies
    l VOL. XXIII NO. 121 FRIDAY , APRIL 5, 1991 ~ THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S Students call for instituting course in cultural diversity By DAVID KINNEY Assistant News Editor Students called for the University to make progress toward instituting a course concerning cultural diversity at a meeting between administration and student government representatives. One student said that more progress in the area of cultural diversity is crucial because "there is misunderstanding, and, to a certain extent, hatred ... and anger." The students, all of whom worked on the committee that wrote the Board of Trustees report on cultural diversity, stated once again that their primary goal is to institute a mandatory credit-carrying course to expose students to diversity. However, they also presented the idea of operating a workshop involving lectures and small-group discussions to set up a foundation on which the University could build. The students asked the administration to make some progress, even as little as to form a committee to discuss the possibilities of a required course, within the next month. .· A student expressed anger that University President Edward Malloy has formed a ~· . :f .~rt:;·: :'l~.; committee to deal with the problem of smoking on campus, but has taken no concrete action to deal with the problems of cultural diversity. One administrator called for the students to take direct action by drafting a clear proposal and submitting to the Academic Council through the student representative on the council. This action would, at least, place a specfic entity on the floor that could be discussed and revised.
