I have enjoyed my Dear Readers: brief stint as acting editor. And I have certainly acquired a huge respect for magazine editors everywhere. To be good at it, you need an unusual combination of skills: an almost EDITOR obsessive grasp of details and, simultaneously, the ability to envision the big Margaret Avritt picture and how each of the myriad small puzzle pieces fits. CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Elizabeth Kelley Gillogly ’93 The University has hired a new managing editor. His name is Steven Saum, and, ART DIRECTOR Nancy Tobler Turek by the time you read this, he will be at his desk here in Donohoe. He comes to SCU PHOTOGRAPHER from the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, where he was the editor in chief. Charles Barry PRODUCTION COORDINATOR Steven has more than 15 years of writing and editing experience with publications Deborah Hill for universities, nonprofits, and government in the U.S. and internationally. WEB EDITOR Melissa Eckel ’05 Other changes are in the works. Beth Kelley Gillogly ’93, who has worked on the CONTRIBUTING WRITERS magazine in various capacities for the last six years, will no longer be with us. I John Patrick Donnelly, S.J. Anne Federwisch want to thank her for all the photo captions she wrote, all of her careful editing, Elizabeth Kelley Gillogly ’93 Joseph Goethals ’99, J.D. ’05 all the interviews she conducted, all the interesting features she proposed and Ron Hansen M.A. ’95 Kirk Hanson created, and generally for all the care she lavished on the magazine.

Ron is the Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., Professor of Arts and Humanities at Sarah Stanek SCU. He teaches English and, as many of you know, is the author of a number of DESIGNERS Cuttriss & Hambleton critically acclaimed novels, including Mariette in Ecstasy, Atticus, and Hitler’s Niece. CAMPUS NEWS CONTRIBUTORS Ron also writes extensively about the relationship of art to faith. (A nice sample is Deepa Arora Karen Crocker Snell Ron’s essay on the Spiritual Exercises on Page 18.) Ron will be tapping into his con- ADVISORY BOARD siderable literary network to bring new voices to the magazine. Margaret Avritt Terry Beers Elizabeth Fernandez ’79 I believe Santa Clara Magazine is already a showcase for the spiritual and Ron Hansen M.A. ’95 intellectual richness of the University community. And I am looking forward to Kathy Kale ’86 Paul L. Locatelli, S.J. ’60 seeing what the publication becomes in the capable hands of Steven and Ron. James Purcell Paul Soukup, S.J.

As a young music-loving soldier in the final days of World War II, John T. “Jack” Mullin ’36 went to investigate a German recording device called a magnetophon. His result- ing work in sound profoundly affected the field of recorded audio. Three Roommates in Paris 14 By John Patrick Donnelly, S.J. It has been 500 years since Francisco Xavier and Pierre Favre were born, and 450 years since the death of Ignatius of Loyola. Quite a lot has happened since 1529 at the University of Paris, when the three men shared a room and went on to form the Society of Jesus. Spiritual Exercises By Ron Hansen. In his mid-20s, Iñigo de Loyola 18 kept an informal notebook of the consolations, graces, and inner wrenchings he experienced while meditating on scripture. This Manresa note- book went on to become a practical manual that has helped escort countless others through mysti- cal contact with their soul’s deepest yearnings and thus with God. Who Cares About Biodiversity? 20 By Miriam Schulman.

  • Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alton H. Blackington Photograph Collection 1898-1943 15 boxes (4 linear ft.) Call no.: PH 061 Collection overview A native of Rockland, Maine, Alton H. "Blackie" Blackington (1893-1963) was a writer, photojournalist, and radio personality associated with New England "lore and legend." After returning from naval service in the First World War, Blackington joined the staff of the Boston Herald, covering a range of current events, but becoming well known for his human interest features on New England people and customs. He was successful enough by the mid-1920s to establish his own photo service, and although his work remained centered on New England and was based in Boston, he photographed and handled images from across the country. Capitalizing on the trove of New England stories he accumulated as a photojournalist, Blackington became a popular lecturer and from 1933-1953, a radio and later television host on the NBC network, Yankee Yarns, which yielded the books Yankee Yarns (1954) and More Yankee Yarns (1956). This collection of glass plate negatives was purchased by Robb Sagendorf of Yankee Publishing around the time of Blackington's death. Reflecting Blackington's photojournalistic interests, the collection covers a terrain stretching from news of public officials and civic events to local personalities, but the heart of the collection is the dozens of images of typically eccentric New England characters and human interest stories. Most of the images were taken by Blackington on 4x5" dry plate negatives, however many of the later images are made on flexible acetate stock and the collection includes several images by other (unidentified) photographers distributed by the Blackington News Service.

  • Der Bingle Technology
    Der Bingle Technology by Steve Schoenherr No revolution has shaped the modern mass media more profoundly than the recording revolution. To record is the ability to create an exact duplicate of an act of communication, to preserve and replicate this act quickly and cheaply, and distribute countless copies of this act to consumers everywhere, so they can replay it over and over whenever they so desire. Johannes Gutenburg birthed the revolution in 1454 with his movable-type printing press. Louis Daguerre used chemistry to permanently fix a photographic image in 1839 and William Fox Talbot replicated positive prints from a single negative.Thomas Edison added the recordability of sounds in 1877 with his phonograph and of motion in 1893 with his kinetoscope. The man who would have the greatest impact on the mass media in the 20th century was not an inventor or scientist, but a crooner. A crooner, you say? Yes, it was Bing Crosby who was the leader of the revolution. The 1600 records he made during his 51-year career as a pop singer have never been equaled in number or influence. Bing sold 500 million copies during his career and only Elvis would sell more. His White Christmas was the No. 1 recorded song in total sales (35+ million) for over 50 years. He sang on 4000 radio shows from 1931 to 1962 and was the top-rated radio star for 18 of those years. He appeared in 100 movies and was the first popular singer to win a Academy Award for Best Actor (Going My Way, in 1944).
