It’s extraordinary pressure,” said Quigley, who, nonetheless, has hit the ground running, learning as he goes. Unlike the naïve Mr. Smith, Quigley is a seasoned politician who spent more than a decade as an elected Cook County commissioner, and before that, DVDWRSDLGHLQWKHRIÀFHRIIRUPHU&KLFDJR$OGHUPDQ%HUQLH+DQVHQZKHUH he learned how to get things done. Much like Mr. Smith, though, Quigley is earnest, even idealistic, about what can be accomplished for constituents in his district and for the nation as a whole. “It only takes one voice to stand above the crowd and touch people’s lives,” VDLG4XLJOH\ZKRJDYHKLVÀUVWDGGUHVVRQWKH+RXVHÁRRUDERXWWKHQHHGWR strengthen federal hate crimes legislation to include enhanced penalties for crimes that are committed because of one’s sexual orientation.

At Roosevelt, Quigley took an interest in the environment and environmental policy, and did an internship with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Chicago. One of his pro- fessors at the time was former adjunct faculty member Mary Gade, one of the Midwest’s most respected environmentalists and a former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Chicago. Another one of Quigley’s favorite Roosevelt professors was the late political science professor Frank Untermyer. “I was in a tough situation trying to get through school and it was extraordinary that someone could be so benevolent and willing to help,”

Linking the two disciplines in an academic setting might sound plausible, but it’s nothing less than stunning that Ziliak and his haiku economics have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times blog “Freakonomics,” The Chronicle of Higher Education and on National Public Radio. “I started telling people back in 2002 that I thought the New Yorker magazine would pick the idea up and I predicted haiku economics would become something the elite do,” said Ziliak, who has been a professor of economics at Roosevelt since 2003. “I never, ever imagined it would catch on the way it has with the general public,” he said.

Then in May 2009, after Ziliak did an unusual haiku interview about economics, pedagogy and the current economic recession with The Chronicle of Higher Education, NPR’s “Planet Money” blog ran a “recession haiku” contest in which listeners from all over the country submitted haiku about the nation’s recession and its impact on everyday lives. “What’s so interesting about haiku is that it is accessible to aver- age people,” said Randall Brooks, a board member of the Haiku Society of America and a professor of English at Milliken University in Decatur, Ill. “A lot of people from all walks of life are getting interested in it,” said Brooks, who believes practice of the poetry form has surged during the last 15 to 20 years. “It invites people into the act of cre-

Ziliak, who went on to get a PhD in economics from the University of Iowa in 1996, disregarded that advice until 2001 when he was looking for ways to connect with his 220-plus students in Economics 101 at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT).

Since then, haiku has become a way for Ziliak to connect with himself, with his facts, with his values and with others. “He (Ziliak) would cite different haiku and use them to describe different eco- nomic concepts,” said Justin Howell (BA, ’09), who considers Ziliak to be one of the best economics professors he’s ever had in large part because of Ziliak’s unorthodox approach to the discipline. “Writing haiku in an economics course is not something everyone experiences, but the fact that you’re limited in terms of what you can say in a haiku encourages you to say something meaningful,” added Roosevelt University Economics Professor Stephen Ziliak believes that haiku enhances precise thinking and Howell, who plans to do graduate studies improves writing.

Hunt, who spent eight years on the project, argues in the book that

BY LAURA JANOTA misguided policy decision-making in both Chicago and Washington, D.C., is in large part responsible for the failure of a public housing program that initially held promise and hope for Chicago and its residents. “This book is a necessary contribution to the consideration of public housing in Chicago,” the Chicago Tribune wrote in a recent review of Hunt’s work. “It adds a new dimension to the debate by pointing to missed opportunities for the Chicago Housing Authority to heed warning signs and change course and that policy choices at the local and federal level led to the demise of public housing.”

In his book, Charles Madigan, presidential writer in residence at the University, takes a look at the election of President Barack Obama in an unconventional way by focusing on what American voters – and not political insiders – have to say about this historic milestone. Destiny Calling: How the People Elected Barack Obama features the views of voters from all over the nation who weigh in on everything from Hurricane Katrina to the Iraq War and the nation’s economic crisis, in explaining their decision to vote for Obama. “This is not at all a traditional political book that presents an insider’s look at the campaign,” said Madigan, a former Chicago Tribune editor and writer who spent more than two years on the project. “The idea of the book was to look at the campaign and talk about it the way that voters and their neighbors do,” he said. The project shows, above all, that race was not an issue for most people in the election, accord- ing to Madigan, who has covered presidential politics and campaigns since 1972.

I believe that people in our society need to learn how to think critically when these claims are made so they can best evaluate what they are hearing,” said Smith, the founder and director of the University’s Stress Institute and the author of 17 psychology-related books. “I am astonished by the excellence of this book,” said York University Professor of Psychology James Alcock, who has written extensively on para-psychology. “Smith has produced a highly readable and very entertaining yet critical examination of virtually the entire gamut of paranor-

THE VERY REV. EMMANUEL WEA JOHNSON

More than half a century ago, the Very Rev. Emmanuel Wea Johnson (MA, ’59) planned to make a short pass through Chicago, visiting with a friend, before preparing to return home to his native Liberia. At the time, Johnson believed his bachelor’s degree in education, earned in 1958 from Langston University in Oklahoma, would be enough to get him started in a career in Liberia. His friend disagreed, however, and took Johnson to Roosevelt University to meet with the education dean, who urged him, if he really wanted to help others in Liberia, to get a degree in educational administration and supervision from the University. “I accepted the advice that was given to me, and it made all the dif- ference in preparing me for my work in Liberia,” says Johnson, 85, who recently returned to Roosevelt University for a reunion with other graduates of the class of 1959.

64 ROOSEVELT REVIEW FALL 2009 Roosevelt University wishes you and those closest to you a happy and healthy holiday season.

As the end of 2009 rapidly approaches, it is clear that many amazing things have happened at Roosevelt this year: record enrollments, the reinstatement of intercollegiate athletics and the creation of a College of Pharmacy. These activities and many more were due in no small part to the support of our loyal alumni and friends. We are truly grateful for your generosity.

If you have not already made a contribution to Roosevelt during 2009, please consider doing so now. Your gift will enable us to continue to provide educational opportunities for future generations of Roosevelt students.

Thank you again, and best wishes for a healthy and joyous holiday season.
