Rhetorical Analysis of "Free Speech and Free Tuition" On September 20, 2014, Barbara Garson, writer of the hit play “MacBird!” while at Berkeley, wrote an opinion article for the Los Angeles Times regarding her up and coming return to the University of Berkeley’s 50th reunion of the Free Speech Movement that took place on its campus in 1964. Garson was active in the Free Speech Movement as editor of the Free Speech Movement Newsletter. The University of Berkeley has a long-standing history for activism that goes back to the 1920’s. In fact, during the early 1920’s there was a “faculty revolt” that secured for the Academic Senate an unprecedented role in “shared governance” of university affairs, which is still in effect today. Small student organizations at Berkeley, from the 1930’s through the 1950’s, protested fascism and totalitarianism through “peace strikes.” In the late 50’s students organized a campus political party, SLATE.
High school and college sports rivalries are some of the greatest and most anticipated events each year, especially when traveling trophies are involved. Indiana University and Purdue University clash for the Old Oaken Bucket. Hebron High School Hawks try to capture the “Cleats,” the “Kup,” and the “Keg” every year. The Wisconsin Badgers and the Minnesota Golden Gophers fight it out for Paul Bunyan’s Axe. And, in 1932, the rivalry between Division III schools Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, became more heated with the introduction of the Monon Bell.
The nickname “Garryowen” traces its lineage back to an old Irish ballroom dance tune. It was used as a marching tune for various nation's military formations such as Great Britain, Canada, and the United States of America with the British being the first to adopt it. The song gained its popularity in the 18th century where it was used as a drinking song by wealthy local youths in Ireland however the tune itself originates from 5th Royal Irish Lancers during the 1680s. Captain Myles W. Keogh along with other officers and members of the 5th subsequently served in the 7th Cavalry Regiment thus introducing General George Armstrong Custer to the tune. He would then make the tune the official song of the regiment.
What The Northwestern Football Union Means For College Sports On the surface, a union for football players at Northwestern seems like a limited development. But thanks to new precedent, and some union-friendly state laws, college athletes could start banding nationwide. A collection of college football players at Nothwestern University and other high-profile schools, fed up with a system that enriches people involved with the game but not the actual talent on the field, started a solidarity movement last September. They wrote the initials APU — All Players United — on their wristbands during that week’s games. Just six months later, that seemingly quaint gesture could go down as a milestone in the escalating fight over how to define and compensate
The Climate of Social Change and Urban Development for: Benjamin S. Carson Honors Preparatory School I. Team Approach Ben S. Carson Honors Preparatory School is a middle school that is now undergoing major change in its structure. The school started out as West Fulton High School erected back in the early 1950’s. The school enjoyed the accolades of great athletic success in basketball and football in the mid and late 1970’s. A decision was made in the 1980’s to make the small high a middle school in the Atlanta Public School system.
What I would like to know is when the drum corp started. So far I have gathered that: Drum Corps International or DCI emerged from an exceptionally American activity that had its beginnings after World War I. Veterans formed corps to perform in parades as they celebrated patriotism. Many of these units, playing traditional no-valve bugles and rudimentary drums, were attached to the VFW, American Legion, Catholic Youth Organizations, and Police Athletic Leagues. The groups soon developed into legitimate musical units, and in the '60s became more and more competitive.
As a student he attended St. Paul Academy in his home town, The Newman School, and then Princeton University. Although some of his work appeared in his previous schools’ papers, Princeton would ultimately be where he flourished with his publications. Fitzgerald then left school to join the Army in 1918 and would then meet his future wife, Zelda Sayre. Rather fortunate however, Scott would be discharged from the Army, where this was an opportunity for him to begin writing. This opportunity turned out to be very successful.

But it is also the knowledge that they are a minority faced with certain restrictions. Uniting to fight these restrictions has also helped to define deaf culture, and recent decades have seen steady progress for the advancement of deaf causes. In the late 1960's, the resurgence of ASL in deaf schools allowed deaf students to revel in their native language after decades of signing behind closed doors. In another pivotal event known as the Gallaudet Revolution, America's first and only deaf university made national headlines in 1988 when students fervently protested their school's appointment of another hearing president. Staging rallies, barricading the campus, even marching on the Capitol, they successfully fought to hire a deaf president, winning a widely publicized victory in the battle for awareness.
Protest against the war largely replaced civil rights demonstrations, though some new issues also emerged. The FSM was the beginning of what came to be called the "six-year war" on the Berkeley campus. While student groups could now meet, set up tables, distribute literature, raise money, and pretty much say what they pleased at rallies and demonstrations on campus, skirmishes continued over time, place and manner rules, as well as what non-students, including drop-outs and alumni, could do on the campus proper. Three decades later, a multimillion dollar grant from an alumnus paid for a student cafeteria which memorialized the FSM and for putting the FSM archives on line. The steps of the administration building were officially named the "Mario Savio" steps, and an adjacent campus was called the Clark Kerr campus of the University of
