Hofstra understands that students may make arrangements to stay outside of the residential halls, and as such, the location of students in the halls is not monitored by Residential Assistants or other University staff. If a student intends to leave his or her residence hall for an extended period of time, the student is strongly encouraged to advise the residence hall staff before leaving, to avoid the student being reported “missing.” If, however, there is reason to be-lieve a resident student is missing, all reasonable efforts will be made to locate the student to determine his or her state of health and well-being. These efforts, which are done in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety, include, but are not limited to, checking the student’s room, speaking with friends and/or roommates, checking ID access, locating the resident student’s vehicle and calling the student’s cell phone number or other known contact information.

192Z. American Killers, American Saints 3 s.h.10165: MTWRF 5:30-9:15 p.m.; Fichtelberg; 135 Gallon WingMuch like a common language or heritage, violence is essential to social order. Governments enforce laws by threatening punishment; nations impose their will by preparing for war. Yet violence, anthropologists tell us, can also serve sacred ends, promote faith, or draw believers closer to God. Americans have long un-derstood this paradox. Our culture has used violence to unify and inspire, even as violent acts have scarred and harmed. This course will explore the social uses of violence—its beauty and terror, its senselessness and serious purpose—by ex-amining great American texts. We will range widely from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. Beginning with an Indian captivity narrative by Mary Row-landson,wewillconsider the turbulentperiodending incivilwar, reflected inthe stories of Edgar Allan Poe, the poetry of Walt Whitman, and Stephen Crane’s great novel, “The Red Badge of Courage.” Texts in the twentieth century include Ernest Hemingway’s “In Our Time” and Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood.” We willalsoviewtwofilms,MartinScorsese’s“GangsofNewYork”andTerrenceMalick’s “Badlands.” Throughout the course we will explore the mysterious pro-cessthatrenderseventhegreatestvillainsreflectionsofourcollectivehopesandfears.
