  • The Newberry Annual Report 2016 – 17
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2016 – 17 Letter from the Chair and the President hat a big and exciting year the Newberry had in 2016-17! As Wan institution, we have been very much on the move, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff we are delighted to offer you this summary of the destinations we reached last year and our plans for moving forward in 2017-18. Financially, the Newberry enjoyed much success in the past year. Excellent performance by the institution’s investments, up 13.2 percent overall, put us well ahead of the performance of such bellwether endowments as those of Harvard and Yale. Our drawdown on investments for operating expenses was a modest 3.8 percent, well Chair of the Board of Trustees Victoria J. Herget and below the traditional target of 5.0 percent. In fact, of total operating Newberry President David Spadafora expenses only 22.9 percent had to be funded through spending from the endowment—a reduction by more than half of our level of reliance on endowment a decade ago. Partly this change has resulted from improvement in Annual Fund giving: in 2016-17 we achieved the greatest-ever single- year tally of new gifts for unrestricted operating expenses, $1.75 million, some 42 percent higher than just before the economic crisis 10 years ago. Funding for restricted purposes also grew last year, with generous gifts from foundations and individuals for specific programs and projects. Partly, too, our good financial results are owing to continued judicious control of expenses, exemplified by the fact that total staffing levels were 2.7 percent lower in 2016-17 than in 2006-07.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • The Frames and Depictions of Transgender Athletes in Sports Illustrated
    THESIS DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Submitted By Tammy Rae Matthews Department of Journalism and Media Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Catherine Knight Steele Co-Advisor: Kris Kodrich Joseph Champ Caridad Souza Copyright by Tammy Rae Matthews 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DECOLONIZING TRANSNESS IN SPORT MEDIA: THE FRAMES AND DEPICTIONS OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED This discourse analysis examines depictions of trans athletes in Sports Illustrated and sport culture through the lens of queer theory and the interpretive-packages model proposed by Gamson and Modigliani (1989). Four interpretive packages emerged from the print content: (1) Marginalization, (2) Labeling, (3) Fighting and Fairness and (4) Pride and Affirmation. The results illustrate that discourse has generally become more sensitive to trans issues. The author presents these results with cautious optimism. Blindingly affirming and romancing the transgender can be equally as superficial as marginalization, and representations of trans athletes secured by one person are problematic. Researchers and sport organizations should dismantle antiquated, coercive sex segregation in traditional sport and decolonize how it contributes to gender-based oppression. The author recommends that media outlets focus on presenting fair, accurate and

  • Baseball Under Glass
    One big switch in baseball that went smoothly By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Wednesday, May 24, 2017 Change comes oh-so-slowly to baseball, unless the game has a proverbial gun to its head. One main instance was labor peace after baseball tottered on a precipice following the 1994-95 strike stopped only by a federal court injunction. More re- cently, postseason umpiring was so bad that the Lords of the Game accepted comprehensive replay, having resisted it for decades after other pro sports adopted video systems. Now, change is still forthcoming in an active player, executive, broadcaster or writer not yet coming out as gay. Billy Bean came out publicly only after his playing career ended, and was eventually appointed Major League Baseball’s ambassador of inclusion. The conservative nature of the game inhibits Indi- viduals revealing their true selves while on active duty. Baseball figures coming out eventually will be recorded, but not on a timetable seen elsewhere in Christina Kahrl reports smooth sail- society. ing in baseball clubhouses as a transgender writer. There is one interesting exception. Christina Kahrl of ESPN is one step ahead of the above scenario. She is an openly trans-gender baseball writer covering baseball, and fortunately not en- countering any flak for what by all scientific accounts should be just a segment of one’s heart and soul. And definitely a passion and aptitude for baseball smoothly crossed the gender line without any alteration. Full disclosure here. I researched and wrote my fifth book, “Throwbacks,” on old- school baseball archetypes in 2001-02 for release in 2003 by Washington, D.C.-based Potomac Books.
