There will be “open mic” sessions between
rounds for those who would like to share their
poems but not compete.
Slam poetry places equal emphasis on content
and performance. Slam poet and the Javashock
slam master Jeff Stumpo said he encourages those
who wish to perform their poetry to be energetic
and select their poetry carefully.
“I've seen all kinds of styles performed — sto
rytellers, rappers, comics, you name it. What
doesn’t work is poetry that has no life of its own,
that is, it’s only meant to be read on the page,”
Stumpo said. “Also, anything abusive ... nobody

domestic partners at the University level. While
federal and state laws regulate most of the topics
surrounding GLBT partners, many changes can be
made by the University, Moore said.
“It’s a critical time for GLBT issues at our
University,” he said.
Several GSC members were concerned that
Rainbow Graduate Student Association represented a
philosophical issue rather than an issue of diversity.
They were concerned that sexual preference was not the

As with other types of poetry, slam poetry often
incorporates stream-of-consciousness styles,
which let listeners and readers know what’s on the
poets' minds, Romei said. Often, this results in
poems with brazen language, but Romei said he is
not worried.
“As long as people don’t throw things and
get violent, I don’t have a problem with what
(the poets) say because it's their art form and
I’m not in the business of curtailing their art,”
he said. “If we have people that are offended
they can leave.”
Those interested in competing at Javashock
should sign up at the P. David Romei Center
for the Arts on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. There is
no cover charge and the competition will start

same as race, socioeconomic background and religion.
“We are what we are, we didn’t choose to be
what we are,” Moore said. “1 see us more like a
racial group than a philosophical group.”
The mission of GSC is to identify, share and
discuss issues pertinent to graduate and profes
sional students, and Rainbow Graduate Student
Association will attempt to represent its con
stituents, Moore said.
“1 don’t agree with their ideology, but 1 do
think that they represent a group of people that
stand for the same thing,” said Ryan Saunders,
computer science representative for GSC. “I’m
not upset about the way things went, I think we
lived up to what we stand for today.”
