REGIS UNIVERSITY e a biweekly publication 1 an Serving the Regis community since 1888 Volume 93, Issue 5 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2010 Thursday Thrills LaserQuest Ben Closson Staff Reporter 120 Students signed up between 2:30 and 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 21 to go shoot each other with Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiations. The concept was so wildly popular that even though many who signed up didn't show up, over 130 participants climbed into two buses and one Regis van to ride their way to glory. The bus ride from Regis to LaserQuest was noisy. It sounded an awful lot like a South American soccer team on their way to a match or home from a victory, except with the singing in English instead of Spanish. When the students arrived, all waited around for some time, wonder­ ing what to do. There was punch and lemonade available, as well as pretzels and other "munchable handsnacks".

  • Monolithic Authenticity and Fake News Stephen Colbert’S Megalomania
    Monolithic Authenticity and Fake News Stephen Colbert’s Megalomania SETH HULSE DESIRING AUTHENTICITY Authenticity is an idea that lurks behind every claim in every news story, as it is ascribed to medial narratives by sender, receiver, and the dissemination medium itself. Journalists caress authenticity by trying to enhance their stories with images and sounds from historical reality while news consumers try to inform themselves about their historical reality by confronting the claims made by journalists and deciding on what to believe. Although consumer confidence in news media, and television news in particular, has steadily fallen in recent decades, consumers still rely on broadcast television as their primary source of news information (cf. Rosenstiel 17-18). Also, despite having a low amount of trust in media institutions, as detailed in the expansive Pew Research Center report by Rosenstiel, American news consumers con- tinue to long for information that informs their conceptions of society. As Jan Berg persuasively writes in his essay »Techniken der medialen Authentifizierung,« our desire for authenticity can be understood as a longing for the all-powerful, for the wondrous, the holy, and the au- thorless object (cf. 56, 65). He describes the modes and the depiction techniques of authenticity and posits that authenticity need not only be seen as a relic of undisputable omnipotence, magnificence, and holi- ness, but that instead one can also understand it as »a specifically modern modus of truth, a mode of compensation, which in the modern world shifts into those positions that have become empty as a result of 64 | SETH HULSE Enlightenment and de-deification« (Berg 56; my translation).1 Most interestingly, Berg highlights an important facet of the authentication process, namely that of self-ascription, of supposed authorlessness.

  • “It's Not a Horse Show, It's Not a Play, It's Not Cirque Du Soleil
    “It’s not a horse show, it’s not a play, it’s not Cirque du Soleil, it’s not a 3D movie, it’s not a concert. It’s all of these things, blended in a way that elevates the spirit.” Atlanta Journal Constitution A BIGGER STAGE, MORE HORSES, MORE ARTISTS, NEW GRANDIOSE & MAGICAL MOMENTS! EMOTIONS, BEAUTY AND A DREAMLIKE WORLD AGAIN AT CAVALIA Cavalia Odysseo pushes the limits of live entertainment even further as they gallop in to Arizona with its more impressive version of its exceptional production that marries the equestrian arts and stage arts at never-before-seen levels. Even more magical, spectacular and grandiose than before, a larger than life theatrical experience will mesmerize audiences of all ages in Scottsdale. Cavalia Odysseo now features more horses - 70 horses of 12 different breeds; and more artists - 50 talented riders, acrobats, dancers and musicians. The $30 million breathtaking production has grown considerably in size and scope over the last few years without losing its soul. The stage itself is nearly twice its original size, enabling larger-scale and even more cutting-edge performances. The new scenic space allows to build a full 3-story high mountain for astounding fresh perspectives, literally recreating nature on stage, a vast space of freedom for the horses and artists to display their intimate collaboration. The integration of additional horses and artists has resulted in many never-before-seen moments for the spectators. Cavalia Odysseo’s mind- boggling theatrical effects are as spectacular as they are numerous, and they include a state-of- the art projection screen which is three times the size of the world’s largest movie screen, a life-size merry-go-round and a real lake made of 40,000 gallons of recycled water, which emerges for a splashing finale.

  • Hippodrama, Or ‘Old’ Circus?: Legacy and Innovation in Contemporary Equestrian Performance
    21 Kim Baston La Trobe University, Australia ‘New’ hippodrama, or ‘old’ circus?: legacy and innovation in contemporary equestrian performance The hippodrama existed as a popular spectacle during the nineteenth century, an entertainment marrying the equestrian acts that were staples of the early modern circus with a grander narrative purpose. As such it was denigrated by the guardians of ‘legitimate drama,’ such as Leigh Hunt, as an example of the triumph of the taste of the masses over the claims of the intellect. Within circus, equestrian performances waned in importance during the twentieth century, ceding prominence to wild animal and spectacular aerial acts. While animal performance within circus has also declined, there has been a recent resurgence of equestrian companies. In the contemporary equestrian spectacle the relationship of horse with human is radically re-defined, based on an ‘equal’ or ‘reciprocal’ sharing of the theatrical space, emphasising non-human animal agency and de-emphasising suggestions of coercion. Yet these spectacles retain strong traces of the traditional divisions of equestrian acts within the circus, from the formal movements of Haute École to ‘liberty’ acts. This article investigates the shifting narratives surrounding - the contemporary equestrian spectacle. Kim Baston is Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Drama at La Trobe University and she also lectures on circus history and culture at the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in Melbourne, Australia.

    Barackin’ The Vote: Barack Obama’s Strategy to Win The 2008 Democratic Nomination for President By: Daniel H. Greeley GOVT 315.001 – Elections & Voting Behavior Capstone Advisor: Professor Candice Nelson Table of Contents Section Page Number Introduction 1 Overall Strategy 2 Message 9 Fundraising 16 State-by-State Tactics 20 Conclusion 28 Works Cited 30 Appendix I: Table 1 – Obama Campaign State-by-State Expenditure Totals 34 Appendix II: Chart 1 – Obama Campaign Expenditures by State Over Time 35 Appendix III: Chart 2 – Obama Campaign Expenditures by Type 36 Appendix IV: Charts 3-11 – Obama Campaign Expenditures Per Quarter For Key States 38 Greeley 1 Introduction: While most people think that the goal of a presidential campaign is to win the election, this is not always the case. Some candidates mount a presidential campaign to raise awareness about an issue, such as Senator Tom Tancredo on immigration reform. Others want to make one of the frontrunner candidates address a specific issue. And, other candidates might want to garner name recognition and fundraising prowess to strengthen their chances of winning re- election to their current office. Finally, some candidates, like George H.W. Bush in 1980, enter the race to showcase their political strengths in the hopes that they might be able to join their party’s ticket or administration if their party wins in the general election. Senator Barack Obama from Illinois, who is an African-American, is running in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Even four years ago, if someone had said an African-American was running for president, the conventional wisdom in the political establishment would probably have been that the candidate was running to raise awareness about race issues or to make the other candidates at least acknowledge these issues.

Nearly all significant policy innovations in U.S. politics face formidable structural veto-points, cross-cutting interest group pressures, and deep partisan divides. Yet comprehensive immigration reform has proven especially difficult to achieve over time, despite wide agreement that the existing immigration system is flawed and in need of a drastic overhaul. For decades, congressional efforts to enact broad policy changes for the nation’s undocumented population have followed a tortured path of false starts, prolonged negotiation, and frustrating stalemate.

  • Odysseo Is a Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience That Must Be Experienced to Be Understood
    “Odysseo is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that must be experienced to be understood. Do yourself a favour and enjoy this breathtaking piece of supernatural entertainment. There is nothing like it on the planet.” Toronto Star THE SHOW Odysseo: Larger Than Life The horse has marked human history and progress more than any other animal. Horses have taken us to the ends of the earth enabling us to build bridges between cultures and expand civilization. It is the beauty and harmony of this ancient relationship, this meeting of two worlds, those of horse and man, that inspired the creators of Odysseo. As friends, partners and inseparable performers on stage, 70 horses and 50 artists lead the viewer on a great journey in yet another world – a world of dreams where together they discover some of the planet’s most unforgettable landscapes. Odysseo marries the equestrian arts, stage arts and high-tech theatrical effects at never-before- seen levels. A veritable revolution in live performance, Odysseo comprises a list of superlatives: the world’s largest touring production and traveling big top, the biggest stage, the most beautiful visual effects, and the largest number of horses at liberty. The creators of this ode to the horse made the decision to indulge their wildest artistic ambitions. Their gamble paid off: Odysseo pushes the limits of live entertainment by creating a larger-than-life show that sends hearts racing, but it is also a feast for the eyes that succeeds in delivering the spectacular with soul. Scenography and Visual effects To give life to this extraordinary equestrian adventure, a 1,626 square meters stage was created with a hill that rising three-stories tall.

  • Huckabee, Propelled by Evangelicals, Leads
    CBS NEWS POLL For release: Wednesday, December 19, 2007 6:30 pm SOUTH CAROLINA: THE REPUBLICAN RACE December 13-17, 2007 • One month before the South Carolina primary, Huckabee leads there, propelled by religious voters and evangelicals – but seven in ten voters say their minds could change. • Immigration is the top issue for South Carolina Republican primary voters, and Romney is viewed as the strongest candidate on that issue. But his Mormon religion is viewed negatively, especially by evangelical voters. • Giuliani and Romney are seen as most electable, but Huckabee and McCain are perceived as the candidates who most share the values of the people in South Carolina. Mike Huckabee, whose surge in national polls could shake up the Republican race for the nomination, leads Mitt Romney among likely South Carolina Republican primary voters by 8 percentage points. REPUBLICAN CHOICE FOR THE NOMINATION (Among likely Republican Primary Voters) White Weekly Evan- Conser- Church- All gelicals vatives goers Huckabee 28% 33% 32% 33% Romney 20 18 21 18 Giuliani 12 7 10 8 McCain 11 9 8 11 Thompson 10 15 11 10 As in a CBS News/New York Times national poll released last week, Huckabee enjoys a substantial lead among the South Carolina Republican base. He leads by double digits among white evangelical voters, conservatives, and weekly church-goers. McCain and Giuliani do much better among moderates. But the Republican race could still change in South Carolina. Seven in ten Republican voters (including most Huckabee and Romney voters) report it is too early to say for sure who they will vote for, and half of both the leading candidates’ voters have reservations about their choice.
