    CollegianThis is how college is meant to be. Scholar, Teacher, Mentor: Trudier Harris Returns Home By Kelli Wright Coming home at the end of a long journey is a theme that DR. TRUDIER HARRIS has contemplated, taught, and writ- ten about many times in her award-winning books and in the classroom. Recently, Harris found herself in the midst of her own home- coming, the central character in a narrative that is a familiar part of southern life and literature. When she retired from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was the J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of English, she was not looking for other work. But her homecoming resulted in an unexpected “sec- ond career” as a professor in the College’s Department of English and a chance to explore new intellectual territories. In addition, it has meant a return to many of the places of her youth, this time in the role of change agent. Raised on an 80-acre cotton farm in Greene County, Ala., Harris was the sixth of nine children. Though her parents had to work hard to make ends meet, they always stressed the impor- tance of education. Harris attended Tuscaloosa’s 32nd Avenue Elementary School, now known as Martin Luther King Elementary School. In the late 1960s she entered Stillman College in Tuscaloosa. Initially she considered a career as a physical educa- tion teacher or a psychiatrist. But losing an intramural race to a young woman who was half as tall as she dampened her desire to teach PE, and the realization that she did not want to listen to people’s problems soured her plans in psychiatry.

What was the most important thing you did while you were in college? For a small group of students in UA’s College of Arts and Sciences, the answer is often instantaneous and simple: The Blount Undergraduate Initiative. Although the four-year liberal arts program comprises a mere 20 percent of each participating student’s course of study, giving each student a minor in the liberal arts, Director Joe Hornsby said he hears the same message from graduating seniors each year. That is, the Blount Initiative was the single most important part of their collegiate careers. MICHELLE FUENTES, a 2007 graduate of the program who received her doctorate in political science from UA this year, is no exception.“Blount has been the most transformative organization I’ve ever participated in,” she said.

    John Kay & Steppenwolf

    JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF Biography CELEBRATE THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY "The central theme of Feed The Fire," says John Kay, "is, 'don't let the bastards get you down!'" Lyrically, songs such as "Rock & Roll Rebels" and "Hold On" focus on the resiliency of the human spirit in spite of life's many setbacks. The title song speaks to the needs of the inner flame that burns in all of us and drives us in our quest for fulfillment. Other tracks, such as "Man On A Mission", "Rock Steady" and "Rage", are songs of defiance and passion, while "Bad Attitude" and "Give Me News I Can Use", rely on tongue-in-cheek and at times sardonic humor to make their point. In Kay's words: "This album is about and for all the rock and roll rebels, be they 14 or 54, who refuse to throw in the towel and who struggle to keep their dreams alive in the face of ever diminishing freedom." With "Feed The Fire," their most potent album in years, Kay and company have written the newest chapter of the Steppenwolf legend. Kay has certainly lived the life of a rock and roll rebel himself. After a perilous midnight escape from post-war East Germany as a child, he grew up with a steady diet of Armed Forces Radio and became inspired by the likes of Little Richard and Chuck Berry. At age 13, John decided to make rock and roll his life. "Considering I was only 13, legally blind, spoke the wrong language and was on the wrong side of the ocean, maybe I was a little optimistic," he says.

    John Kay & Steppenwolf

    JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF In the chaotic world of rock 'n' roll, in which the lifespan of most bands can be measured in terms of a few years or a few months, John Kay and Steppenwolf have emerged as one of rock's most enduring and respected bands, delivering hard-hitting, personally-charged music for more than three decades. In the late 1960s, Steppenwolf embodied that era's social, political and philosophical restlessness, building an impressive body of edgy, uncompromising rock 'n' roll that retains its emotional resonance more than three decades after the band's formation. Such Steppenwolf standards as "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me" and "Monster" stand amongst Rock's most indelible anthems. At last count, the band's worldwide record sales exceed 25 million units. Its songs remain fixtures on classic-rock radio, and have been licensed for use in approximately 50 motion pictures and an even greater number of television programs. And, in addition to being the first band to use the term "heavy metal" in a song (in "Born to Be Wild"), Steppenwolf's punchy style helped to establish the fundamentals of the hard-rock sound that would flourish in the 1970s. Steppenwolf's remarkable resilience is largely a reflection of the fierce determination and never-say-die tenacity that's driven Kay for much of his life. He was born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in 1944 in the section of Germany then known as East Prussia. He never knew his father, who was killed fighting in Russia a month before John's birth.

    Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

    GRANDMASTER CUTS FASTER: THE STORY OF GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE By Chuck Miller Originally published in Goldmine, 1997. "Flash comes out first complete with rousing introduction, takes off a black cape and -- plays records. He goes to the double turntables at the back of the stage and cuts and blends bits of "Good Times" and "Another One Bites The Dust" -- not just the usual segues but real tight-to-the-beat mixes and tricks like holding the edge of the record so the beat clicks back on itself: the vinyl "talks" rap-style ... The Furious Five -- the MC's, the rappers -- come out one by one in glitzy black and white outfits, talking fast, faster, fastest. They had this choreography that reminded me of the old Temptations -- classic but knife-sharp -- and they were in constant motion even when they broke out of the routines. They would hold their mikestands out over the crowd to get the response: 'Say hooo!' 'Hooo!' 'Somebody scream!'" (Vince Aletti, "Golden Voices and Hearts of Steel," The Village Voice, May 6, 1981). They entertained crowds for free, five rappers and a sixth man who used phonograph turntables as musical instruments. The Clash wanted them to be their opening act. Blondie performed a #1 song about their parties. Duran Duran covered their songs. For 20 years, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five brought hip-hop from the parks of 137th Street and Gunhill Road to radio stations across the world. Grandmaster Flash, the disc jockey who created the group, could trace his involvement with music to the early 1960's, when a young Joseph Saddler constantly raided his father's prized record collection.
