    Boy George (George O'Dowd) (b. 1961) by Tina Gianoulis Boy George performing Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. in London in 2001. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Photograph by Jessica Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Hansson. Image appears under the Boy George is, like many middle-aged queers, a survivor. And, like many pop icons, Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike one of the main trials he has had to survive is his own fame. License Version 2.5. The Boy George persona, which came to international attention with the success of the band Culture Club in the early 1980s, threatened to overshadow completely Boy George the performer. However, George's talent, resilience, and genuine affability have seen him through his band's breakup, his own drug addiction, an unexpected solo comeback, and a 1998 reunion with Culture Club. Retaining his sense of style and eclecticism throughout, George has proved he is not merely a stage persona, but also a real original and a gay pioneer. Born in Bexleyheath, a cheerless section of South London, on June 14, 1961, George Alan O'Dowd was the third of six children born to working class Irish parents. His father, a builder and boxing coach, and his mother, who worked in a nursing home, had little attention to spare to give emotional support to their children, especially little George, who showed signs of being "different" from a very early age. He often showed up at church in outlandish hats and platform shoes. Indeed, the eccentric clothes he wore to school got him assigned to a class for incorrigibles.

FRANNY'S CANDIES “I roll the Kettledrum candy in my mouth.” Franny pictures herself chewing on Boston Fruit Slices and her jaw flexes automatically. “Chewy wedges taste lemon and lime and go BOOM-bah-BOOM when I bite into one.” She adds, “When I unwrap a second Kettledrum out of its tight parchment, I examine the sour and sugar-copper rind. They are better enjoyed in pairs. Tomás, why aren’t Kettledrum candies hard? Like Lifesavers or Butterscotches? When they clink against your teeth, they could sound like a snare or a top hat. I can hear a soft bass rumble a tympani symphony deep within me. I swear, the Kettledrums make my voice go baritone when I sing BOOM-bah-BOOM after eating one. It’s true: I’ve tried it!” Franny confesses this to me under her gummy-bear breath and I agree unconditionally the way a best friend must. We come here because most of her schoolmates do not make their way down the block to Doña Dolce.

Adjuncts and guest speakers “can share their knowledge and really keep our programs current,” says Dean Jacqueline Taylor. “They bridge the world of higher education and the workplace.” WCollege of Communication students can expect to see professionals such as marketing and advertising executive Dorothy Balabanos teaching Principles of Advertising, Chicago Sun-Times investigative reporter Art Golab taking a turn as a guest speaker in instructor Mike Conklin’s Special Topics in Journalism course, or Chicago Tribune Lifestyle Editor Linda Bergstrom teaching Feature Writing. “There would be something hollow about a journalism program where instructors haven’t worked in the industry, and that’s why all of ours have,” Taylor says. With their extensive backgrounds and deep ties to Chicago’s media community, full-time and adjunct faculty have their antennae up for new adjunct candidates to keep the pool expanding. Adjuncts and guest speakers come from some of the city’s top outlets in radio, television, print, public relations and advertising, says Associate Dean Bruno Teboul, who schedules all graduate and Teboul undergraduate classes for the college, and interviews, trains and reviews all faculty. And, they teach 30 percent of the classes in the college, he says.

Still her mother brought her halfway around the world to UC Davis, where four years of treatments and surgeries took their toll on her body and her childhood, but ultimately reversed the disease. Azadeh might have turned away from her grueling past. Instead she chose to embrace it. Today, as a volunteer for support programs at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, she helps other young people facing similar cancer challenges. Here, she offers others not only access to practical resources, but also something more profound: a survivor’s understanding and empathy.
