The purpose of this handbook is twofold. The first is to provide you with specific information about the Transition Center/Bridge staff, attendance and daily program expectations that are outlined on the first few pages of this handbook. Secondly, since we partner with Hinsdale South High School for all building level services and operations, this handbook, particularly pages 20-49, outlines detailed policies and procedures that all young adults must abide by as well. It is important that you become familiar with our handbook. Please read it and refer to it often throughout the year. By working together, we will promote opportunities for independence in the areas of: employment, post-secondary education and training, independent living skills and community access to better prepare your young adult/you for adult success. We strive to create a program that will meet the individual needs of the young adults/you and provide a safe and caring environment where all can learn. We are looking forward to a productive 17-18 school year in our new space.

Victims with Responsibilities: Requiring Male Victims of Statutory Rape to Pay Child Support with No Escape Jessica Persaud* I. INTRODUCTION: STATUTORY RAPE AND THE MALE VICTIM In September of 2014, USA TODAY released the story of Nick Olivas who was ordered to pay child support, including retro-active support, for a daughter whom he did not know existed for six years; she was conceived in Arizona when he was just fourteen years old and the mother was twenty.1 According to Arizona law, it is a crime to engage in sexual activity with a minor under the age of fifteen.2 Olivas never pressed charges because “he didn’t realize at the time that it was even something to consider.”3 According to a USA TODAY statistic, as of January 24, 2015, Olivas’ story was the eighth most viewed article on USA TODAY’s website, with sixty-four reader comments offered in response.4 It is apparent that the issue of a victim of statutory rape being ordered to pay child support is intriguing to many people.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA an Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Christopher Gildemeister Washington, D.C. 2014 An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 Christopher Gildemeister, Ph.D. Director: Leslie W. Tentler, Ph.D. Representations in popular culture entertainment both reflect popular thought about various subjects, and simultaneously influence perceptions of those same subjects. This dissertation proposes a twofold thesis: firstly, that the representation of the Catholic priest in American popular culture – particularly film and prime-time broadcast network entertainment television – was shaped by various real-life individual priests; and secondly, that such representations fell into a number of identifiable and frequently repeated tropes, which themselves served to influence later representations. With the rise of mass popular culture in the 1920s (largely originated by the increasing influence of film and the rapid and widespread adoption of radio broadcasting), the image of the Catholic priest in America shifted from that of the effeminate, licentious, and sexually depraved predator which was widespread during the nation’s era of domination by traditionally anti- Catholic Protestants to that of the “heroic priest”: a tough, dynamic, manly individual dedicated to social reform, particularly involving battles against entrenched civic corruption and crime. The major model for the “heroic priest” was the famed “radio priest,” Father Charles Coughlin, who in the early years of his fame was a far more populist and reform-minded individual than he was to become subsequently.
