June 2008 News Page 2 Students excited about centennial yearbook By Anna Chlopecki The 2007-2008 school year is just about over, and itʼs time for graduation, class rings, prom, and the distribution of the yearbook. Lane students are seeing certain changes in this years edition because it is the 100 year celebration. This yearʼs centennial edition is significantly larger than previous editions with over 300 pages, completely in color, the historical background story of Lane through pictures, a centennial vintage theme that matches the new Lane website, and a textured cover that will match the centennial rustic feel of the yearbook as a whole. “It is bigger than last yearʼs because it features a lot of history,” said Rebecca Young, Div. 916, a yearbook staff member. “Everything is in color.

    From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.

  • Apartheid Revolutionary Poem-Songs. the Cases of Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli
    Corso di Laurea magistrale (ordinamento ex D.M. 270/2004) in Lingue e Letterature Europee, Americane e Postcoloniali Apartheid Revolutionary Poem-Songs. The Cases of Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli Relatore Ch. Prof. Marco Fazzini Correlatore Ch. Prof. Alessandro Scarsella Laureanda Irene Pozzobon Matricola 828267 Anno Accademico 2013 / 2014 ABSTRACT When a system of segregation tries to oppress individuals and peoples, struggle becomes an important part in order to have social and civil rights back. Revolutionary poem-songs are to be considered as part of that struggle. This dissertation aims at offering an overview on how South African poet-songwriters, in particular the white Roger Lucey and the black Mzwakhe Mbuli, composed poem-songs to fight against apartheid. A secondary purpose of this study is to show how, despite the different ethnicities of these poet-songwriters, similar themes are to be found in their literary works. In order to investigate this topic deeply, an interview with Roger Lucey was recorded and transcribed in September 2014. This work will first take into consideration poem-songs as part of a broader topic called ‘oral literature’. Secondly, it will focus on what revolutionary poem-songs are and it will report examples of poem-songs from the South African apartheid regime (1950s to 1990s). Its third part will explore both the personal and musical background of the two songwriters. Part four, then, will thematically analyse Roger Lucey and Mzwakhe Mbuli’s lyrics composed in that particular moment of history. Finally, an epilogue will show how the two songwriters’ perspectives have evolved in the post-apartheid era.

  • Washington Script
    “A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story” This is “A Slow Walk to Greatness: The Harold Washington Story.” Harold Washington was Chicago’s first black mayor. His 1983 mayoral election held global significance. Chicago is a major American city that has always been known for segregation and for political corruption. Washington’s election sent the message that individuals can positively impact politics and that if Chicago could achieve greater equality, than similar cities were capable of the same. Harold Washington was a native Chicagoan and son of a politician. He grew up on Chicago’s South Side, attended DuSable High School and enlisted in the Army during World War II. Returning home, he earned his undergraduate degree from Roosevelt College, and in 1952 earned a law degree from Northwestern University. He served 15 years in the Illinois State Legislature and one and a half terms in the United States House of Representatives before becoming a candidate in Chicago’s 1983 mayoral race. Practiced law and served as Chicago attorney 1954 – 1958 Elected successively to: Illinois House of Representatives 1965 – 1976 Illinois State Senate 1976 – 1980 U.S. House of Representatives 1980 – 1983 Initially, Washington did not want to run for Chicago mayor. A candidate needs 25,000 signatures of registered voters to be on the ballot. Washington asked his supporters to gain 50,000 signatures before he would consider it. They gathered over 100,000 signatures! In 1983, Washington successfully campaigned for mayor of Chicago on a platform of reform and an end to city patronage. Harold Washington’s election as Chicago’s first black mayor gained national attention.

V. R. When we think about the future of the world, we always have in mind its being at the place where it would be if it continued to move as we see it moving now. We do not realize that it moves not in a straight line, but in a curve, and that its direction constantly changes. Philosophy has made no progress? If somebody scratches where it itches, does that count as progress? If not, does that mean it wasn't an authentic scratch? Not an authentic itch? Couldn't this response to the stimulus go on for quite a long time until a remedy for itching is found? Wenn wir an die Zukunft der Welt denken, so meinen wir immer den Ort, wo sie sein wird, wenn sie so weiter Hiuft, wie wir sie jetzt laufen sehen, und denken nieht, da�s sie nieht gerade lauft, sondern in einer Kurve, und ihre Riehtung sieh konstant andert.

  • 2015 Final Programopens in a New Window
    Welcome to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities Aloha! We welcome you to the Thirteenth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities. For more than a decade, this event has offered a unique opportunity for academics and other professionals from around the globe to share their broad array of knowledge and perspectives. The primary goal of the conference is to provide those with cross- disciplinary interests related to arts and humanities to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international aspect of the conference brings a truly diverse variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics. This diversity is also captured in the Hawaii International Conference’s unique cross- disciplinary approach. The resulting interaction energizes research as well as vocation. With Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and the vast South Pacific as the backdrop, this venue is an important dimension of this conference. For centuries a stopping place of explorers, Hawaii has historically been enriched by the blend of ideas that have crossed our shores. The Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities continues this tradition in the nurturing spirit of Aloha. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Hawaiian Islands provide natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue. This year we have more than 325 participants representing more than 16 countries. Thank you for joining the 2015 Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities! The 2016 Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities is tentatively scheduled for January 11 – 14, 2016 at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
