Seeing as so many people here seem to be fascinated with foreign cultures and countries (study-abroad, etc.), I thought this was kind of appropriate to post here. Apologies if someone disagrees, but this is really important to me. Flames to me, not to the newsgroup... I need your help, guys. As many of you know, I am a second-year graduate student in Italian at Brown University. As recently as last Christmas, shortly before our president of two years (Gordon Gee) resigned in favor of a much higher paid position at Vanderbilt, my department, along with German Studies and Slavic Languages, received letters basically informing us that our graduate programs are being liquidated. Phased out. "Streamlined into one meta-department, which will offer a Ph.D. in Modern Literatures," whatever the hell that means in the real world (not much). Needless to say, we were a bit upset, still are, especially since we STILL have not been given a good reason, founded on doing one's homework, as to why they have decided to stop giving us the miniscule amounts of money we were getting in the first place. I could go on an on, but I won't anymore, unless I get a feeling that people are actually interested. The last straw was the article I've referenced below, written by one of the head librarians of the University Library (someone please save us!), which essentially says "who needs graduate education in your field anyway." Many of us wrote responses to this idiocy, I am not sure how many will actually get published. But take a look, won't you, and if you are so moved, please let the editor, and Mr. Monroe, and Sheila_Blumstein@brown.edu (our acting president, actually a woman with a wonderful reputation so far from what I've heard), that this isn't acceptable. Feel free to read the response(s) to William Monroe already posted, as well. Here is: http://www.brown.edu/Administration/George_Street_Journal/vol24/24GSJ21e.html - -v, and no, this cutback doesn't affect *my* status, we're all grandfathered (meaning we get to finish our degrees).

Now these people are great too. I've never ever seen them, but Josh gave me a tape of their second set from Canal Street in Dayton and it was incredible. I think it was all off mic and really great stuff. Seemed like a street show-style gig and it was very entertaining. That's a great lineup for a festival, though. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 13 Apr 2000 15:10:05 GMT From: spin0za1@aol.commmm (Spin0za1) Subject: Moral Dilemmas I was talking to someone about this today... I sometimes feel like I make myself a hypocrite for the lads. I mean (and please don't flame me for this) I support the free music industry. I speak out against the RIAA's lawsuit whenever given the opportunity. I strongly believe that the music industry is simply evolving and that artists and distributors will have to evolve with it... and that the music industry will not die out but produce better quality artists who create art for art's sake and make money creatively... and yet I STRONGLY encourage people not to download any Fruvous stuff unless they've bought all of the albums... and then only to get live stuff. Also I'm strongly against most age restrictions as I tend to be very youth rights oriented. I have a desire not to give money to age-restricted venues... but I have a stronger desire to give money to Moxy Früvous. It creates a sticky conflict... I mean, I always err on the side of giving money to Fruvous and I understand all the problems with everything I'm saying... insurance and such plus the difficulties in making a livelyhood with music when music is free... but I feel that these are problems that should be ironed out and corrected rather than accepted and ignored.

I kind of aggree with Gella. Widely known artists can afford to have MP3s out of the internet, but smaller bands and artists are not to fond of the whole MP3, free music, thing. I love downloading MP3s. I've found many cool bands that I plan on buying the CD of that way.(1) What I usually do is download the MP3, decide if I like it, and if I do, I go out and buy the CD. Some people with mega huge hard drives have whole albums stored there, and don't buy the CD. I don't like that, but I figure if another person hears the MP3, likes it, then that person will eventually go out and buy the CD. I probably would never have gotten into Fruvous if I hadn't downloaded King of Spain, GE&H, Laika, and some others I forget at the moment.(2) At least that's my rationale. Take it or leave it. MP3s, Real Audio, etc. help various kinds of music become widely circulated, while at the same time making a bit of a dent in the sales. It balances out. As for the ages thing, I'm 16. I don't mind the 18/21 and over venues. I honestly don't. Maybe I will later on, but I figure there has to be reason for it, a method to the venue's madness if you will. I don't believe they're age-ist. Wow, this has been kinda long so I'm going to stop now. (1)i.e. DaVinci's Notebook, TMBG, BNL, Guster, Great Big Sea, Arrogant Worms, etc. (2) Also Bender playing Bargainville and B for me *constantly*(3) (3)By the way, I own all the albums.(4) (4)Wow, I actually have footnotes! - -Saph *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* "I have just drawn my weapon and killed a Coke machine, sir." -Claudell Weems "The Tommyknockers" Here comes the plug! http://www.geocities.com/saphiracat *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* ------------------------------ Date: 13 Apr 2000 21:30:59 GMT From: spin0za1@aol.commmm (Spin0za1) Subject: Way OT: Gluey hands Okay... who here used to put glue on their hands so they could peel it off when it dried? *Gella raises her hand "To believe that knowledge is ignorance is noble.

Music Notes by Matt Galloway, Kim Hughes and Tim Perlich MOXY FRUVOUS Dora Keogh Pub, Web, April 5 Over black bean soup and a pint of stout, Moxy Fruvous singer/percussionist Jian Ghomeshi described his band's forthcoming The C Album (follow-up to The B Album, natch), to be sold exclusively through their www.fruvous.com Web site and at gigs. He offered no comment, however, on being seen around town lately with American Psycho actor Krista Sutton other than to slyly confirm they're dating. Look for the album - "It's showcases the zany, more vaudevillian side of the band" - in May. Also coming in May: a 30-minute documentar on Fruvous via news-magazine show CBS Sunday Morning. Last week a crew followed the guys around their hometown and will film upcoming shows in Philly and NYC. ***** end of article ***** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 18:28:24 +0900 From: Katie Hariman Subject: Re: Way OT: Gluey hands I did!!
