By Ryan Horlen Evergreen staff Considering how many have been affected by cancer in some way, there are few nobler ways to spend a Saturday after- noon and Sunday morning than raising money for cancer research. “My grandma passed away from lung cancer and my uncle had a very rare form of cancer,” undecided freshman Nichole Hansen said. “I think everyone should try to get involved with the relay.” Beginning on Saturday, peo- ple will be circling Mooberry Track from 3 p.m. to 9 a.m. to raise funds for Relay For Life. “This is much more than a walk around the track,” the Relay For Life of Pullman website states. “It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived.” Event Chairman Mike Murphy said the relay origi- nated in the state. “It began in 1985 when a KEVIN QUINN/DAILY EVERGREEN surgeon ran around a track in Members of WSU’s Roots and Shoots, a campus group founded by Jane Goodall, march a dove through campus Monday in Tacoma to try and raise aware- recognition of the International Day of Peace, declared by the United Nations in 1981. ness for cancer research,” Murphy said.

  • Sounding the Last Mile: Music and Capital Punishment in the United States Since 1976
    SOUNDING THE LAST MILE: MUSIC AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE 1976 BY MICHAEL SILETTI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey Magee, Chair and Director of Research Professor Gayle Magee Professor Donna A. Buchanan Associate Professor Christina Bashford ABSTRACT Since the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed the legality of the death penalty in 1976, capital punishment has drastically waxed and waned in both implementation and popularity throughout much of the country. While studying opinion polls, quantitative data, and legislation can help make sense of this phenomenon, careful attention to the death penalty’s embeddedness in cultural, creative, and expressive discourses is needed to more fully understand its unique position in American history and social life. The first known scholarly study to do so, this dissertation examines how music and sound have responded to and helped shape shifting public attitudes toward capital punishment during this time. From a public square in Chicago to a prison in Georgia, many people have used their ears to understand, administer, and debate both actual and fictitious scenarios pertaining to the use of capital punishment in the United States. Across historical case studies, detailed analyses of depictions of the death penalty in popular music and in film, and acoustemological research centered on recordings of actual executions, this dissertation has two principal objectives. First, it aims to uncover what music and sound can teach us about the past, present, and future of the death penalty.

    DEAD MEN TALKING: CONTENT ANA LYSIS OF PRISONERS’ LAST WORDS, INNOCENCE CLAIMS, AND NEWS COVERAGE FROM TEXAS’ DEATH ROW Dan F. Malone, B.J. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2006 APPROVED: Jacqueline Lambiase, Major Professor James Mueller, Minor Professor Richard Wells, Committee Member Mitchell Land, Director of the Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism Susan Zavoina, Chair of the Department of Journalism Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Malone, Dan F. Dead Men Talking: Content Analysis of Prisoners’ Last Words, Innocence Claims and News Coverage from Texas’ Death Row. Master of Arts (Journalism), August 2006, 91 pp., 5 tables, references, 64 titles. Condemned prisoners in Texas and most other states are given an opportunity to make a final statement in the last moments before death. An anecdotal review by the author of this study over the last 15 years indicates that condemned prisoners use the opportunity for a variety of purposes. They ask forgiveness, explain themselves, lash out at accusers, rail at the system, read poems, say goodbyes to friends and family, praise God, curse fate – and assert their innocence with their last breaths. The final words also are typically heard by a select group of witnesses, which may include a prisoner’s family and friends, victim’s relatives, and one or more journalists. What the public knows about a particular condemned person’s statement largely depends on what the journalists who witness the executions chose to include in their accounts of executions, the accuracy of their notes, and the completeness of the statements that are recorded on departments of correction websites or records.
