Vol. 123 No. 17 Tuesday, November 13, 2012 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ THE BROWN AND WHITE Lehigh University’s Student Newspaper Founded in 1894 SPORTS Football team falls to Colgate Page 12 ONLINE Take our opinion poll thebrownandwhite.com History of Coxe Hall Page 5 LIFESTYLE By ABBY SMITH Art Spielgman, cartoonist and author of Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus,” addressed Lehigh students Thursday about the evolution and the significance of comics. Along with his Pulitzer Prize, Spieglman has won a variety of awards, including being only the second American to win France’s Grand Prix at the Angouleme world comic strip festival. In 2005, he was named one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People.” The lecture was part of the Notations program and was sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies as the second to last event in their semester-long program entitled “Food for Thought.” “I’ve been called the father of the graphic novel, but I’m still demanding a blood test,” Spielgman said, as he joked with the crowd. He said that his book “Maus” has had a larger impact on the world than he ever expected. Spielgman told the audience there are three questions he is always asked regarding “Maus”: why comics, why mice and why the Holocaust? He chose to share with the crowd why he used comics and cartoons as his medium of choice. Spielgman said that his gravitation toward comics came from two impulses: an impulse toward cartoons and an impulse toward trying to understand his parents’ “grown-up talk.” “Comics were my gateway into an America my parents didn’t understand,” he said. It was even more than that, however. Spielgman said his interest in comics led him to look up anything related to them, and by doing so he discovered his talent. One definition for comic strip Spielgman found was a narrative series of cartoons. When he looked up narrative, he discovered it meant a story, and that changed his perspective altogether, he said. “Comics have a structure,” he said he realized. “It’s architectural.” Comics are so effective because they are like visualized maps that lead people through a story, Spielgman said. “They are maps of time, visual structures that give you a temporal experi By DANIELLE DiSTEFANO The community of South Bethlehem demonstrated its recovery from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy at the First Friday events Friday evening. This month, First Friday was dubbed “Second Friday,” by the Community Service Office since most businesses were still closed or had just regained electricity on the actual first Friday of November. The events began around 6 p.m. and stores remained open after their regular hours to encourage community members and Lehigh students to contribute to the South Side. After nearly a week without electricity, most businesses in South Bethlehem were playing catch-up with their customers and readjusting to regular business hours. Local restaurants and boutiques encouraged patrons to attend First Friday events as an opportunity to increase sales and raise funds for hurricane relief. Loose Threads Boutique owner Laura Jasorka said she was lucky to be open a few hours last Friday, but she was still excited to participate in the First Friday events by serving wine, promoting a Philadelphia jewelry designer’s trunk show and offering a 10 percent off sale to customers. She said the loss of power delayed regular business operations, but was fortunate she didn’t experience worse. Other business owners described the effects of the storm similarly. “We were closed until Thursday with no power. Typically we have three melting pots that hold 200 pounds of chocolate each,” said Brian Tallarico, owner of Tallarico’s Chocolates on Third Street. “They solidified and took an additional 36 hours to re-melt after we regained electricity. It definitely threw a wrench into production and preparing for the holiday season, but in comparison to the other damage that people experienced. I have nothing to complain about.” Many participating businesses featured live music, while some stores, like Cleo’s Silversmith Studio and Gallery, offered free food to customers as they perused unique inventory. At each of the registers, cash donation buckets were available to be donated to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief funds. In addition, a Red Cross information table and blood drive car was available on the corner of Third and New streets. Blood donations could be made to support the victims of Hurricane Sandy who were left without electricity and shelter in the wake of the storm. Home & Planet, a modern furniture and home furnishings store, began their ‘Second Friday’ supports local Sandy victims Heartbreaker at home B&W photo by DAVE DiFRANCESCO TOP: Lehigh defenders converge to tackle Colgate’s Jimmy DeCicco.
