On November 9, Tim Wise, noted as one of the most prominent anti-racist writers and activists in the United States, presented a lecture entitled “Race, Class, and Hurricane Katrina” in the Bazarsky Lecture Hall.

Attended by many members of the University and the Newport community, Wise’s hour-long talk addressed racial issues, white privilege throughout New Orleans and the influence of big business and the media on our society today.

A fantastically rendered self portrait, a new depiction of Adam and Eve, and a collection of gruesomely strange, yet compelling pen and ink figures are a few of the items by featured artist Sam Ames that can be found at the new exhibit at the Salve Gallery in Mercy Hall.

“I learned about him through religion classes I took here at Salve. It’ll be exciting to hear him talk.”

“I was surprised to hear he was coming to Salve, I’ll be interesting in hearing what he has to say. ”

Many colleges aim to please their student body by providing guest appearences and special events. While Boston University is hosting a comedy shoe presenting Dennis Leary and the University of Massachusetts is conducting concerts featuring trendy singers like O.

Many of us on Salve’s campus are familiar with Christianity, but few of us know anything about South Asian religions, such as Buddhism. With the visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama approaching, people may be wondering what background they should know in order to fully appreciate what the Dalai Lama has to say.
