No guests allowed at 150 Tremont
Guest privileges revoked after repeated mayhem
Ethan Long
Journal Staff
A controversial memo was
slipped under the doors of all
students living in the 150 Trem-
ont St. Residence Hall yester-
day morning. The memo, sent
by Amanda Grazioso, Assis-
tant Director of Residence Life
and Summer Programs, stated
that “ALL guest priveleges [sic]
will be revoked from the entire
building until further notice.”
The memo followed one sent
out last Thursday, Oct. 29, warn-
ing students that if the amounts
of damage and vandalism seen
this semester doesn’t stop,
guest privileges would be re-
voked from the entire building.
According to last week’s
memo, also sent by Grazioso,
“The amount of damage and
vandalism occurring in this
building so far this semester
has been unacceptable. Last
month, I sent a memo stating
the total to be over $2,000.00.
Since then, the damage has not

let up and the cost has nearly
doubled. This price will con-
tinue to rise if the damage
and vandalism do not stop.”
The memo then went on
to list some of the damages
the building has seen, along
with the expenses it has taken
to fix them. Among others,
the repairs to walls were esti-
mated to be around $100-400,
excluding the cost of painting.
Then, the memo goes on
to state that incidents have
been reported where students
were “urinating and defacat-
ing [sic] in common areas.”
Due to health concerns, the
cleaning of such things requires
extra work after hours, includ-
ing excessive carpet cleaning.
The memo goes on to
say that, “this is your home
for the next seven months
and it is important to hold
each other accountable
for each other’s actions.”

teachers are fearful they may
lose their jobs over this, but that
is not the issue. We just want
to make sure we have quality
teachers working for Suffolk.”
Professor Bryan Trabold of
the English department, for in-
stance, could not comment on
any personal negative experi-
ences. “Overall, my experience
with evaluations has been posi-
tive. I think it’s important for
students to be able to express
their views openly and hon-
estly about what they thought
worked well, and so not so well,
in a given course. I always read
my evaluations and I take them
seriously. They can be par-
ticularly useful in those situa-
tions when I plan to teach the
same course again, as they help
me to answer the questions:
What should I keep doing?
What could be improved?”
According to Trabold, the
process has been unchanged in
his four years working for Suf-
folk. He also believes that stu-
dents evaluating him have not
had great difficulties giving ap-
propriate feedback. “I feel I’ve
been fairly evaluated. Students
have been gracious in letting
me know what worked well in
a course and have also offered
some constructive criticism
and given suggestions for how
to improve a course.” Trabold
further insists that students
take the evaluation process se-
riously. “You’ll have a much
better chance of being heard.”
Lauri Umansky, former
Associate Dean and then as-
sociate vice president of aca-
demic affairs, concurred with
Professor Trabold concerning
the importance of evaluat-
ing teachers. “I have always
felt that the evaluations serve
a good function,” Umansky
said. “Students' anonymity is
assured, and this affords stu-
dents an opportunity to really
speak their minds about their
courses at Suffolk.” She was
also respectful of the fact that
evaluations vary depending
upon different departments.
“It seems
important to me
that each de-
partment has
the freedom
to develop an
evaluation form
best suited to
its approach,
its culture,”
said Professor
Susan West-
cott Alessandri of the CJN
department. “I generally get
the feeling that students en-
joy having the voice. Students
are generally pretty fair.”
Upperclassman in the CAS
do not seem phased by the is-
sue. Robert Keough, 2011
said, “I don’t see how a generic
format would hurt.” He con-
tinued by stating matter-of-
factly, “if anything, it would
make the process easier.”
Many Suffolk freshmen,
however, do not feel they have
been properly informed about
the upcoming evaluations.
Katelyn Speedden, 2013, said,
“I’m surprised that we were
not educated on teacher evalu-
ations. I didn’t even know
you could evaluate teachers. I
thought they were just evalu-
ating us. I’m expecting to be
informed on how to evaluate
teachers.” As the controversy
over changing the evaluations
grows, Suffolk students can
expect to see alterations in the
way they critique their teachers
methods in the weeks to come.

transformation of the Uni-
versity from a small commuter
school to an international in-
stitution offering undergradu-
ate and graduate programs in
more than 90 areas of study.”
“He’s been serving for over
fifty years. It’s worth every pen-
ny,” said junior Pavli Permeti.
The 2008 report from the
Chronicle of Higher Education,
which listed Sargent as the
highest paid college president
at a salary of 2.8 million is actu-
ally from the 2006-2007 tax year
when his new contract was
drafted. This year’s report is
actually from the 2007-2008 tax
year and a good portion of his
total salary was already report-
ed last year as deferred com-
pensation, according to Uni-
versity spokesman Greg Gatlin.
It was reported again this year
because this is when Sargent
actually received the money.
Of the $1.5 million,
$449,080 was Sargent’s sal-
ary, and he received the re-
maining $523,200 in bonuses.
$436,000 of the bonus mon-
ey was awarded to Sargent
for longevity. “The board in
2006 recognized the extraordi-
nary accomplishments [from
Sargent] in the past 20 years
as President and the past 53
years [overall],” said Gatlin.
A compensation study that
Suffolk paid for found that in
the 2005-2006 tax year, Sargent
was in the lowest 25 percent
for presidents of universities
similarly sized, prompting
the board of trustees to
award Sargent more money.
Gatlin said Sargent also
received an $87,000 perfor-
mance bonus for “meeting
criteria set by the board.”
The reason Sargent’s sal-
ary dropped significantly this
year was because the 2008
report included a $1.2 mil-
lion bonus, to be awarded
after he retires, which will
be reported by the Chroni-
cle of Higher Education again
when he receives that money.
Yesterday, the Boston Globe
reported that Suffolk is now
$303.5 million in debt, which is
up 13 percent from last week,
according to Moody’s Investor’s
service. Moody upgraded the
University’s status from nega-
tive to stable because the school
is going from variable rate pay-
ments to fixed rate payments.
“Suffolk University is re-
financing to reduce its expo-
sure to variable-rate debt. The
university will use proceeds
of a planned bond offering to
refinance variable-rate debt
to fixed-rate debt, which will
provide long-term interest rate
stability. The University be-
lieves this is a prudent move.
In examining the uni-
versity’s upcoming fixed-rate
bond offering, Moody’s In-
vestors Services upgraded its
long-term rating outlook to
stable from negative based on
the reduced risk associated
with the new debt structure.
Moody’s said it viewed posi-
tively the university’s move
to refund all outstanding
bonds with fixed rate bonds.
Moody’s also cited the
university’s consistently posi-
tive operating margins, good
debt service coverage from
cash flow, healthy position in
the market, strong liquidity,
urban location and real estate
holdings,” said Gatlin in a
statement from the University.
“President Sargent has
dedicated his entire career to
making Suffolk University a
better institution for its stu-
dents,” said Gatlin. “His lead-
ership over the past 20 years
as President has led to a trans-
formation of the University.”
SOULS fights hunger
Club will collect donations and raise awareness
Angela Bray
Journal Staff
Worldwide, over 800 mil-
lion people suffer from hun-
ger, which is why S.O.U.L.S.
has a calendar of events and
activates planned for No-
vember, Hunger and Home-
lessness Awareness month.
Throughout the entire month
everyone is encouraged to do-
nate unused clothing and non-
perishable food to local food
pantries and homeless shelters.
“The drive is the run-
ning event of the month,”
said Community Service
Scholar Nicholas McKenna.
“It is a chance for everyone to
give back to the community
in a smaller way by donat-
ing to adults and children.”
In addition, the Dorm
Storm will take place Nov. 4, 10,
and 18. S.O.U.L.S. volunteers
will collect unwanted cloth-
ing and non-perishable food
by going door-to-door in each
of Suffolk’s three dormitories.
Not many are aware that 7.3
percent of U.S. households are
at risk of hunger. All food dona-
tions will go to Oasis Coalition
and the Paulist Center. Oasis
Coalition seeks to support, em-
power, and give voice to Bos-
ton’s poor and homeless. They
are currently working with Suf-
folk University, Spare Change
News, and St. Paul’s Church to
address the challenges faced
by those living on the margins.
The Paulist Center community
"aspires to express the good
news of Jesus in contempo-
rary society and builds a lov-
ing, caring, and compassionate
community that welcomes all."
Approximately 1.35 mil-
lion children in the United
States are homeless and don’t
have the opportunity to buy
clothing. Clothing donations
will go to On the Rise, Hori-
zon for Homeless Children,
and the New England Shel-
ter for Homeless Veterans.
Volunteering for the
SOULS Supper Club involves
assisting with preparing and
serving meals to those in
need. The Supper Club will
be held every Monday night
of the month at the Oasis Co-
alition food pantry, Tuesday
nights at the Advent Church,
and Wednesday nights at the
Paulist Center’s food pantry.
“The Supper Club gives
volunteers a chance to learn
how a soup kitchen runs,
meet church staff members,
and interact with the Beacon
Hill and Boston community,”
said McKenna. Volunteers
can sign up online at suf-
folk.edu/communityservice.
Other than donation
drives, S.O.U.L.S. is hold-
ing events where attendees
will learn and discuss issues
concerning the homeless and
hungry. The “Brushstrokes &
Snapshots” presentation will
take place at the Suffolk Poetry
Center on Nov. 5 at 1-2:30 p.m.
Artwork created by Boston’s
homeless community, as well
as clients of the Oasis Coalition
and Heritage Apartments, will
be on display. There will be a
panel discussion on homeless-
ness on Nov 12 in Donahue
403 at 2:30pm. On the follow-
ing Tuesday, there will be a
discussion called “Food For
Thought: Obesity and Socio-
economic Status: Is there a
Correlation?” Participants will
discuss issues of homelessness
and hunger over lunch in Do-
nahue 403 at 12:00-1:00 p.m.
S.O.U.L.S. will also host its
annual Oxfan Hunger Banquet
on in Donahue 403 on Thursday,
Nov. 19 with faculty, staff, and
students to see how others ex-
perience issues including class,
hunger, and the distribution of
wealth. The meal will be one of
interaction and role-playing.
“This is an opportunity
for faculty, staff, and stu-
dents to learn how wealth
distribution is effective and
how many people are suffer-
ing from poverty. It will show
first-hand the way hunger and
poverty exists in the US ver-
sus the world,” said McKenna.
Program Council’s Inter-
national Thanksgiving Din-
ner is hosted for Suffolk’s in-
ternational students however,
faculty, staff, and any other
students are welcome to at-
tend. Anyone is welcome to
celebrate Thanksgiving Carib-
bean Style at the Carribean Stu-
dent Network (CSN) Dinner on
Tuesday, Nov. 24. Admission
to each of these meals, as well
as the Oxfan Hunger Banquet,
is one dollar or a non-perish-
able item for the food drive.
There are donation box-
es located at the Hub, the
Sawyer Cafe, various aca-
demic departments, the
S.O.U.L.S. office in Dona-
hue 209, and the Beacon Hill
Civic Association at 74 Joy St.
“Helping out [those in
need] is a great way to give back
and get connected with our
community,” said McKenna.
All statistics are from
the Suffolk, Oasis Coalition,
and Paulist Center websites.

Career Week services students Guest privileges

looking for work after college revoked at 150 due
Derek Anderson
Journal Staff to extensive damage
Career Week has hit Suffolk
once again, and continues with
events that cater to all different
groups of students until Nov.
6. These events cover the wide
variety of topics related to what
happens after college. By bring-
ing in professionals and Suffolk
alumni, Career Week works to-
wards preparation for the next
step, whether it be graduate
school or finding an occupation.
According to Betsy McDow-
ell, Associate Director of Ca-
reer Services at Suffolk, Career
Week is supposed to highlight
the idea of getting involved and
to see how careers are linked to
students’ studies and activities.
“I think it’s so important for
students to take a few minutes
or hours to take a look at ca-
reer planning,” said McDowell.
The events throughout
Career Week offer multiple
opportunities for students to
learn about the work force and
find what interests them. Since
the Oct. 26, events have been
going on in and around Suf-
folk. Some of the bigger events
that have already taken place
are the Job Search for Seniors
event, the Criminal Justice
Careers event, and the Profes-
sional Dining Etiquette event.
“This year, the events have
been really well attended,”
said McDowell. “We’ve had
a really great turnout so far.”
Each event planned
through Career Week applies
to all sorts of audiences. From
the international student event,
Career Possibilities for Inter-
national Students, to events on
graduate school, Career Week is
open to everyone. This year the
Criminal Justice Careers event
had great attendance, accord-
ing to McDowell. Some events
change with the year, but some
stay the same. The Etiquette
Dining event at the Omni Park-
er House is one of the constant
events Career Services hosts.
“We usually put 15 pro-
grams in each year. We want to
hit the wide interests that stu-
dents have,” said McDowell.
Career Week has had a few
changes this year to adapt to
the country’s economic status.
Because of the recession, some
events have been geared to-
wards getting over that large
obstacle that is in college stu-
dents’ way. The first event of
Career Week was a basic Q and
A where students could ask
any questions regarding job
searches and how to get a job
with the current economy. The
Job Search for Seniors event
was also a new event to pre-
pare graduating seniors for the
future and how to get a qual-
ity job in their area of study.
There are still events
throughout this week that
may be of interest to students.
McDowell suggested that the
biggest events still left are the
annual Major/Minors expo on
Thursday, where freshmen
and sophomores can be aided
in making decisions on their
majors and the Grad School
Option event on Friday, where
the idea of graduate school will
be discussed and how to deal
with it in the current recession.
Overall, the Career Week
has had its share of events so
far and McDowell has said
they’ve been very successful.
There are still opportunities,
such as the Majors/Minors
Expo on Thursday and the
Grad School Option event on
Friday, to go to and learn about
what comes next after college.

The memo states, “No
guests, including other Suf-
folk students, may be signed
into 150 Tremont Street.” While
this statement, taken from
yesterday morning’s memo,
seems general, many ques-
tions are raised about things
such as programs held in the
150 Tremont basement, as well
as the students coming from
the 10 West St. dorm to eat in
the cafeteria. Neither memo
addressed these questions.
The most recent memo ends
with, “I strongly encourage

about any of these instances
of vandalism and damage.”
As of this printing, no
comment was received from

In addition to the text of
the document that comes out of
the talks at Copenhagen, which
will seek to regulate carbon
emissions, the former Senator
is concerned about the larger
picture of global warming.

Moscow, Russia—After five years of bitter relations

between the United Kingdom and Russia, the UK has sent
Foreign Minister David Miliband to Moscow in an attempt
to help heal the problem. In 2006, the poisoning of an ex-
KGB member in London led authorities to Andrei Lugov,
the main suspect in the murder case. Russia has been un-
willing to extradite the suspect, who is also a member
of Russia’s parliament. Miliband met with Russian For-
eign Minister Sergei Lavrov, coming out of the meeting
with high hopes for the future. According to Al Jazeera,
he hopes that working together to solve world problems
will help heal the relationship between the two countries.

Letter to the Editor
The October 29 edition of
the Suffolk Journal contained
one of the most offensive arti-
cles that I have ever seen writ-
ten in any school newspaper.
It was an article that made me
sit there and think to myself,
“What is the point of this?” The
article entitled “Anal Cunt” was
a highly offensive article about
a band full of 40-year-olds that
create highly offensive material
and sing about it on stage. In
talking with some staff mem-
bers who were initially unaware
of the article, we had discussed
what the purpose of the article
was, and why the Suffolk com-
munity needed to be aware of
this band? I would ask the Suf-
folk Journal the same question: in
what way did the article provide
necessary enlightenment to the
Suffolk community? The article
itself was extremely offensive
because it talked about songs
the band had written that were
extremely defamatory and ex-
tremely racist towards members
of the Jewish community, and
to women that attend Suffolk.
The pictures that were printed,
although the band’s logo, were
unnecessary and were highly
degrading to women in the
sense that personal and private
parts of their bodies were be-
ing printed in a school news-
paper intended to inform the
student body of important and
interesting events that happen
around our community. In no
way, from my interpretation of
the article, did it inform Suffolk
of any important or interesting
event that happened. I was also
very discouraged to see that the
article was the top headline on
the Arts & Entertainment sec-
tion of the Journal. I think there
are a lot of other interesting
events happening around the
community that are a lot more
worthy of informing the student
body than this highly offensive
band that played at the Mid-
dle East a couple weeks ago.
I don’t want you to think
that I am writing this to say that
you, the Journal, have no right
to publish whatever you want,
that is the power and great
freedom we get in this country
thanks to the First Amendment.
But I would encourage you to
please think about those people
that you could be angering and
offending and take into account
the purpose for each article
that you are publishing in your
newspaper. The use of your free
speech was highly stretched
with this article, because you
did not print anything that was
of pertinent information to the
University, and I would encour-
age the editors of the newspaper
to really determine what pur-
pose this article served in being
printed. If you could let me, and
members of the Suffolk student
body, know why you felt the
need to print such an offensive
article in a school newspaper, it
would really answer some trou-
bling questions that we have.

The Journal's Response
We, as a student newspa-
per, strive to inform the Suf-
folk community – all of the
Suffolk community – about
the goings on in all areas of in-
terest, including those in the
arts on campus and in Boston.
This city is a vibrant one, full
of culture and art of all differ-
ent levels and kinds. As Suffolk
is a diverse community, full of
differing opinions, likes, and
dislikes, it is only fair that the
newspaper reflect that diversity.
The band in question strives
to offend its audience and the
author of the article stated as
much. In the spirit of that band,
the headline and graphics were
chosen to reflect the content of
the article and its subject, how-
ever the Journal regrets the use
of the words "Anal Cunt" as
the only words in the headline.
That was an ill-advised deci-
sion and this newspaper will
likely never use such a head-
line again, as we are drafting
an obscene language policy.
However, whatever person-
al opinions of some members of
the Suffolk community regard-
Suck it, Lieberman
The Senator is an embarrassment to his
constituents and his party

Senator Joe Lieberman is

tics in the United States. Ear-

Democrats don’t drop the pub-
lic option from their healthcare
plan. Not surprising. Accord-
ing to opensecrets.com, Lieber-
man has received $297,090 from
the pharmaceuticals industry
to his campaign committee so
far, not to mention $427,644
from the Insurance industry.
This is why real healthcare
reform is stalling in the senate:
Senators are more committed
to the special interests trying
to stop healthcare reform from
cutting in on profit margins
than they are to their constitu-
ents. According to a poll done
by Quinnipiac University, 64
percent of Connecticut voters
ing the article, it was written
for those people that enjoy the
music of Anal Cunt and ap-
preciate them as an art form, as
well as for those who don’t lis-
ten to their music, have never
heard of them, but might enjoy
them. These are general reasons
any band gets reviewed, and
those bands and their lyrics or
song titles do not necessarily
reflect the opinions of the Suf-
folk Journal staff, but they are
necessary to include in a review.
Art is sometimes offensive.
It is sometimes obscene. It is
sometimes beautiful and mys-
terious and colorful and hap-
py and depressing and lonely
and awe-inspiring and hateful.
The Suffolk Journal is not
in the business of censor-
ship. And no one on this cam-
pus, the editorial staff of this
newspaper included, is wise
enough to say what is art
and what isn’t – because it
is in the eye of the beholder.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
The Editors
support giving people the op-
tion to buy health insurance
from a government plan. So
why is Lieberman dragging his
feet on the public option? Be-
cause apparently he thinks that
answering to his corporate over-
lords is more important than
providing a social safety net
to the people in his own state.
Lieberman has gotten way
too comfortable in his senior-
ity in the Senate and appar-
ently thinks that he doesn’t
have to answer to voters in his
own state anymore. It was bad
enough that Lieberman was
a staunch proponent of the
Iraq war, and it was really bad
when he endorsed McCain,
but this public option thing is
the last straw. Beating his own
party in 2006 has made Lieber-
man think he can stay in office
without serving his base. The
next time Lieberman comes up
for re-election, the state of Con-
necticut owes it to Lieberman
to show him that he’s wrong.

Mash-up artist hits Suffolk annual concert
Derek Anderson
Marissa Holt
Journal Staff
Last night at the House of
Blues, a Girl Talk/Sean Kings-
ton concert was held exclu-
sively for Suffolk students and
their limited guests. Both of
the artists provided a contrast
to one another and brought
in a diverse and lively crowd.
Those attending the con-
cert were filled with antici-
pation waiting for Kingston
to start the show. Eventually
he appeared wearing a large,
flashy necklace and air force
ones. Part of his set was a live
band that included guitar, bass,
multiple keyboards, and a D.J.
Songs performed by Kingston
included “Beautiful Girls,”
“Fire Burning” and “Take
You There.” Glow sticks were
handed out before the concert
and the crowd had them up
in the air, sometimes literally.
A few of them were thrown
on stage and came close to hit-
ting Kingston. Getting frus-
trated, Kingston and his crew
decided they would throw out
audience members that con-
tinued to throw glow sticks.
The highlight of Kingston’s
performance was unfortunate-
Mash-up master, Girl Talk, mixes is up for Suffolk
Girl Talk rocks the House of Blues with Sean Kingston
ly not him, it was the live mu-
sic. Kingston’s actual voice was
overpowered by the backing
tracks and his band. Occasion-
ally, he would stop singing and
the back tracks picked up his
slack. His entire performance
was not an altogether dud, he
managed to get the crowd mov-
ing, and the animated audience
sang along with his tunes and
danced with one another. Al-
though the wait for Kingston’s
set was somewhat drawn out,
it at least entertained audi-
ence members before Girl Talk.
Girl Talk, however,
seemed to be the more fa-
vored performance of the two.
“We’re excited to see
him,” said Kristina Michael,
a sophomore at Suffolk. “We
heard he’s got a new mash up!”
This was the general feel
in the atmosphere while the
crowd waited for Girl Talk to
take the stage. Gregg Gillis, the
man behind Girl Talk, finally
came to his table set up after a
large screen in the background
spoke to the audience through
text. Although the idea initially
was entertaining, the text on
the screen got old quickly, even
as it continued through the Girl
Talk performance. This did not,

his table, pumping
them up by start-

with a bang. His
mash-ups were
newer, involving
recent pop songs
as well as some
older tunes not
used in his albums.
The mash-ups
should be some-
thing recognized
above all. Gil-
lis’s crafting of his
mash-ups are done
beautifully. It was
incredible to see
how he could con-
trol the crowd’s
emotions and
movements with Students get dance their faces off to Girl Talk
his music. Not to
mention, Gillis’s taste in mu-
sic is a great blend of multiple
genres, giving the sense that
he appreciates all forms of mu-
sic. With clips from Lady Gaga
to Metallica, his mash-ups
cover a wide variety of songs.
Many students had no idea
what they were getting into.
“I don’t know what it will be
like, but I’m excited,” said fresh-
man Jay Gibbons. “There’s a lot
of hype behind this concert.”
Students were sprayed
with toilet paper through auto-
mated guns, blasted with con-
fetti, pelted with glow sticks
and hit with a multiple array
of concert lighting, including
spot lights and strobes, provid-
ing the perfect dance and party

The annual Suffolk Drag

Show offers the chance to let

Falun Dafa relieves stress and increases energy
Banned by Chinese government in 1999 while prosecuting practicers
Alexander Sessa
Journal Staff
Falun Dafa, or Falun Gong,
is a spiritual practice that re-
lieves stress and increases en-
ergy. The practice became par-
ticularly popular in China
during the 1990s, which
disturbed the Chinese
government and caused "I was pulled out of my car and
them to ban it in 1999.
Consequently, thousands
of Chinese citizens have
been persecuted for the
my head; they interrogated me
past ten years. This past
week, the State House held
an exhibition of artwork
depicting the brutalities
of persecution in China.
The artwork on display
was created to educate people
of the horrific behavior against
Chinese practitioners of Fa-
lun Gong and to inspire oth-
ers to continue its practice. A
few of the paintings depicted
wives and mothers of persecut-
ed husbands and sons. These
paintings were grim and dark,

Husband's 'Say Anything' with wife's 'Eisley' take on House of Blues
Ashley Maceli
Journal Staff
Say Anything, though only
a few years old since their of-
ficial signing with Doghouse
Records, have become enor-
mous in the alternative rock
world. From their hilarious
catchy single “Wow, I Can Get
Sexual Too,” to their utterly
ridiculous and loathing-yet
uppity-songs, it is easy to see
why one would love a band
like Say Anything; there re-
ally is no other band like them.
This past Friday, Say Any-
thing played the House of
Blues, making Mischief Night
one large anthem-filled event.
Opening the night with the
single “Wow, I Can Get Sexu-
al Too,” Say Anything began
strong with an audience filled
with true fans who could be
heard singing every word to
almost every song they played.
Frontman Max Bemis was com-
pletely animated and fun in his
performance, which may have
been caused by his crazy na-
ture, or the numerous amount
of red bulls he guzzled down.
After playing another one
of their singles, “Alive With
The Glory of Love,” Say Any-
thing played their newest sin-
however, the images were not
horrific, but solemn. Others
depicted the children of perse-
cuted practitioners. In one pic-
ture, a woman is being arrested
in front of her child for her
practices and convictions. In

for two days.”
another, more disturbing scene,
a little girl cries as she holds the
ashes of her deceased parents.
On the other hand, several
of the portraits were inspira-
tional and optimistic. One such
painting depicted heavenly be-
ings descending to Earth to
educate the world about Fa-
lun Gong. The Earth, at this
gle off their new self-titled al-
bum .“Hate Everyone.” “Hate
Everyone” is surprisingly
catchier than their past songs,
if that is even possible. The
song, along with many oth-
ers, depicts Bemis’ woes from
the past with his bipolar dis-
order. Bemis has been said to
be doing better with his men-
tal issues, and with his beauti-
ful and equally talented new
wife, Sherri DuPree, it seems
Bemis will have someone to
be there with him through his
time of need. Lucky for him,
he has the honor of touring
with his wife’s band, Eisley.
Eisley performed before
Say Anything, giving the au-
dience a different taste of mu-
sic. The band consists of all the
kids of the DuPree family. With
three sisters and two brothers,
the DuPree kids are a com-
pletely new kind of Partridge
family. The siblings have been
writing songs since they were
eight years old, and after 12
years of writing and perform-
ing music, it is clear that all
of the practice and experience
has paid off. With an indie soft
rock feel and girlish vocals,
Eisley is certainly a band you
do not want to pass up listen-
ing to. Eisley played the sweet
point, is depicted as happy
and peaceful with followers
praising their gods. Another
painting depicted a western
culture angel protecting a Chi-
nese follower of Falun Gong.
Steve Gigliotti, a graduate
of Union College, explained to a
group of spectators the accura-
cy of the messages in these pic-
tures and believes in the mes-
sages the pictures convey. “I
first learned about it in China,
but I started practicing in Bos-
ton,” Gigliotti said. He went on
to explain that he lived in Chi-
na for three years and was ar-
song “Marvelous Things” with
a lullaby feel that truly por-
trayed how amazing the three
girls' vocals were. The band is
planning to release their third
album in early 2010, and hope-
fully this album will give them
the recognition they deserve.
Moneen performed be-
fore Eisley, another completely
different band from the rest
of the lineup. Moneen, an in-
die rock band from Canada,
was nothing more than aver-
age with their music. Great
stage presence from the lead
singer may have helped out
in the live performance, but
the lack of uniqueness in the
music made it easy to pass
up on listening to this band.
The opener of the tour was

rested and interrogated for his
practice. “The Chinese secret
police had copies of my tran-
scripts,” he continued. “I was
pulled out of my car and had
a bag put over my head; they
interrogated me for two days.”
Gigliotti explained that he
was released after two days
in prison when it was discov-
ered that he was not a practi-
tioner of Falun Gong. Gigliot-
ti insists the actions taking
place in China are genocide.
Many practitioners of
Falun Gong have fled China
in an attempt to save its prac-
tice and speak out against
the alleged genocide tak-
ing place. Among the art-
ists whose work was displayed
were Zhang Kunlun of Ottawa,
Canada; Zhang Cuiying of Syd-
ney, Australia; Gu Ruizhen of
Taipei, Taiwan; Yao Chongqi of
San Fransisco, Calif.; and Wei
Jang Chir of New York. All
of these artists were born and
raised in China, but left to start
new lives teaching Falun Gong.
Moving Mountains, a hard
rock screamo band. Though
good to listen to, the live music
was not as good as their record-
ed songs. Moving Mountains
were another band that would
have been easy to miss out on.
The odd mix of bands for
this tour made it an interest-
ing and diverse show that is
all that can be done with an
incomparable band like Say
Anything headlining. It was
impossible not to bob your
head, sway your body, jump
up and down or scream out
the creative, yet depressing
lyrics when all six members
of Say Anything were all over
the stage, Bemis leading the
group with ridiculous motions
and complete enthusiasm.

cheologists found only one
head on top of Djehutynakht’s
broken, open coffin. Whose
head it is, the governor or his
wife, cannot be identified, but
it's on display in the exhibit.
The robbers also tried to burn
the tomb’s contents, but the fire
failed to ignite, leaving what is
in the Tomb 10A exhibit intact.
Besides the extraordinary
mummy head, the exhibit has
a lot to offer. Djehutynakht
had one of the largest model
fleets of boats known in history
buried with him. These model
boats were supposed to help
bring the governor to heaven
to be alongside the sun god,
Ra. Since the Nile River was the
backbone to Egypt, these boats
November 4, 2009
were of huge significance.
Along with the boats, pieces
of Djehutynakht’s multiple
layered coffin were presented
around the exhibit. With in-
tensely small and amazing
hieroglyphics and designs
on the inside and tops of the
coffin layers, some were sup-
posedly parts from the an-
cient Book of Two Ways. Ac-
cording to the Egyptians, the
deceased had two options for
the afterlife; the dead can ei-
ther live an afterlife boating
with Ra, or live in the king-
dom of the underworld with
the god of the dead, Osiris.
To help guide Djehutynakht
in the afterlife, spells from
the Book of Two Ways were
written all over the coffin.
The exhibit of Tomb 10A
is really an amazing thing
to witness. Being able to see
artifacts and the ways of life
of culture 4,000 years old is
incredible. It reminds people
how different the world is to-
day. It is an exhibit that should
be experienced by everyone,

On Campus
On Wednesday, Nov. 4, Boston Phoenix Film Critic and Film Stud-
ies Professor Gerald Perry presents his first documentary, For the
Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism. A professor
of Communication and Journalism at Suffolk, he is opening his
screening to alumni, faculty and students. The showing will begin
at 5:30 p.m. in the Munce Conference Room (Archer 110). As I
watched this documentary, I was astonished as to the transfor-
mation American film criticism has made over the past 20 years.
This documentary opens with a classic scene from the movie King
Kong and features interviews from experienced film critics.

West indicted on weapons charges

Former Celtic guard Delonte West was indicted on addition-
al weapons charges in relation to his September arrest in Mary-
land, ESPN.com reported. The current Cleveland Cavalier was
pulled over after cutting off a police officer on his motorcycle in
Maryland on Sept. 17. The officer then discovered that West was
carrying two loaded handguns, an eight-inch Bowie knife and
a shotgun in a guitar case. Due to it being illegal in Maryland
to carry concealed weapons or transport loaded firearms, West
was indicted on two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon,
two counts of carrying a handgun, two counts of transporting a
handgun, one count of reckless driving and one count of negli-
gent driving. Each weapons count comes with up to three years in
prison. The case isn't expected to go to trial until early next year.

Pre-season basketball polls out

The NCAA basketball season is mere weeks from being in full
swing, and that can mean only one thing: pre-season polls! The
ESPN/USA Today Coach's poll was released this past week, rank-
ing the nation's top 25 teams despite the fact that a game has yet
to be played this season. Kansas comes in at number one, followed
by Michigan State, Texas, defending-champion North Carolina and
Kentucky. Finishing out the top ten are Villanova, Purdue, Duke,
West Virginia and Butler. Kentucky is considered a strange choice
by some, as the team didn't finish last season in the top 25. How-
ever, new head coach John Calipari, who left a successful Mem-
phis program to lead the Wildcats, appears to be bringing height-
ened expectations along with his recent successes to Kentucky.

Thumbs up: Rondo to remain in Celtic green
Matt West
Journal Staff
Whether he comes across
as arrogant, enigmatic or
just plain difficult, there is
no denying Rajon Rondo’s
value to the Boston Celtics.
Because he has secluded
himself from the media since
being drafted in the first round
back in 2006, many people view
him as a player who doesn’t
care about his teammates and
constantly plays with a chip on
his shoulder. And while the lat-
ter may be true, his play over
the last few seasons has proven
to the masses that he has a sin-
gular focus: winning basketball
games. That is why his recent
contract extension for five years
and $55 million is so important.

mors and speculation swirled

Thumbs up to an entertaining World Series
Anyone who thought that last year’s Phillies–Rays
World Series was one of the worst of all time (with the hor-
rible weather, delays, and lack of intrigue), must be thrilled
with this year’s edition of the Fall Classic. Cliff Lee and C.C.
Sabathia were masterful in the Phillies’ Game 1 win, while
Game 4 saw a big blown save from Brad Lidge of the Phil-
lies and Alex Rodriguez drove in the game-winning run.
Game 5 saw Chase Utley hit his fourth and fifth home runs
of the series, which ties him with Yankee great Reggie Jack-
son for most home runs in a single World Series. The enter-
taining baseball should continue on Wednesday, as Yankee
veteran Andy Pettite faces Boston’s most beloved parted son,
Pedro Martinez, in the hostile confines of Yankee Stadium.
Thumbs down to a slow start for the Bruins
True, it’s only 13 games into the season, but the reigning number-one seed in the Eastern Confer-
ence has not been able to get their act together. They are only .500 at home, a disappointing mark
that the team needs to improve on. Their losses have not been impressive either, as they have lost to
teams they should have beaten (the Phoenix Coyotes), and lost to good teams they need to beat to gain
respect (the Washington Capitals, Colorado Avalanche and Philadelphia Flyers, just to name three).
It is still a bit too early to bring out the boo-birds, but the Bruins as a team need to step up their play.
Thumbs up for possibilities, but thumbs down for easiness.
The Patriots face Miami both this Sunday and again at the end of this five-week stretch in what
Pats fans hope are two redemption games against the team that unleashed the Wildcat offense on
the Pats last season. In between will be three of the Pats’ toughest games of the year, as they face cur-
rently undefeated Indianapolis at “The Oil Drum” in Indy, then come home for another redemption
game against the struggling New York Jets, who embarrassed the Patriots in week two (the game was
not as close as the score indicated). Following the Jets, the Pats then head to New Orleans for a Mon-
day Night date in the Superdome with the New Orleans Saints, who are putting up numbers that are
starting to eclipse those of the record-breaking 2007 Patriots. Expect a great five weeks of football.
