College’s million-dollar deficit shrinks

CARLEIGH TURNER Assistant Campus Editor

Heliport to host tours despite skepticism NATALIE CRAIG Assistant Metro Editor A HELIPORT WILL soon be stationed

on a riverfront industrial space in the Bridgeport neighborhood to bring helicopter tours to the city despite community concern. On April 2, the City Council approved a $12.5 million plan sponsored by Alderman James Balcer (11th Ward) to build a heliport for helicopter skyline tours on the 2400 block of South Halsted Street to boost tourism and uplift the local economy. “I believe it will spur business along Archer Avenue and Halsted Street,” Balcer said. “I’m looking at people coming in visiting our restaurants, visiting our ward. I’m positive it will have a good economic impact on the ward and the city.” Chicago Helicopter Express is building a heliport on 4.6 acres of industrial land on the southern portion of the Chicago River along the border of Bridgeport and Pilsen, according to the CHE heliport mission statement. Skyline helicopter tours will take place 15–20 times a day and the helipad is expected to create 50 jobs, according to the statement. Trevor Heffernan, CEO of CHE, said the Federal Aviation Administration, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the City Council collaborated on the plan.

“We have isolated a location that is ideal for a heliport,” Heffernan said. “It’s got a clean flight path, isolation from communities and it’s located in an industrial corridor. It was an effort that involved several governing entities and local communities to finally come to a decision on the safest and most accessible heliport location.” Heffernan said the company has overwhelming support from the community. However, Rene Paquin, co-chair of the Bridgeport Alliance, said the community has not expressed public opposition or support for the heliport because the company has not given it an opportunity to voice its opinion. “We would like to have seen an actual agreement between the community and the company before this went further,” Paquin said. “We didn’t get that.” The Pilsen Environmental Rights and Reform Organization said in a March 18 website post that CHE held three community meetings announced only days in advance, catching concerned residents off guard and giving them little chance to challenge CHE’s claims. “[Heffernan], in my opinion, has spoken to everyone,” Balcer said. “There were flyers, outreach and community meetings. I have a binder in front of me [with names of ] people who have supported, and

quite honestly, there have been people who have opposed it. We have tried to listen to everyone.” According to the PERRO website, after CHE did not respond to PERRO’s request to postpone its public hearing until May, PERRO urged Bridgeport and Pilsen residents to attend the Chicago Plan Commission meeting on March 20 to voice their concerns about the heliport. The Bridgeport Alliance and PERRO will hold a community meeting April 29 to give residents a chance to address the heliport plans, according to an April 11 PERRO event post. “We understand that this meeting is mostly symbolic,” Paquin said. “There is very little that can be done at this point.” Alderman Timothy Cullerton (38th Ward) said he spoke with Balcer about noise complaints and safety and is confident that CHE addressed residents’ concerns and the helipad will ultimately benefit the community. “I think the first thing you’d question is the fact of noise,” Cullerton said. “It will be an asset to the area and bring some jobs. A lot of the residents and businesses in the area testified in favor of this heliport.” CHE has taken several precautions to ensure noise is not a

DESPITE FALLING ENROLLMENT and rising tuition, Columbia’s budgetary turbulence may finally be stabilizing. An unexpected combination of better than predicted enrollment numbers, increased tuition cost and decreased departmental spending has reduced the college’s $3.5 million deficit to $1.5 million, said Richard Dowsek, Columbia’s interim CFO. The college incurred the $3.5 million deficit at the beginning of the fiscal year when its $217.5 million in expenditures surpassed the $214 million in revenue the college generated, according to Dowsek. The $2 million shrinkage in the deficit can be partially attributed to the college’s expectation that fewer students would enroll for the 2013– 2014 academic year, Dowsek said. The college enrolled 147 more students than it budgeted for, resulting in an additional $3 million in revenue. More students created more expenses though, such as housing and student services, which is why the $3 million did not cover the entire deficit, according to President Kwang-Wu Kim. “We spend more than we take in and it has finally caught up with

us,” Kim said. “Enrollment has decreased and our revenues have gotten smaller, but our spending has not shrunk proportionally.” Dowsek said the college’s consistent decline in enrollment is making it difficult to project profits and expenses and plan a budget accordingly. The college compensates for these losses with tuition increases, Dowsek said. The most recent increase in tuition was 3.3 percent from the 2013–2014 academic year to 2014– 2015, as reported Feb. 10 by The Chronicle. Columbia’s tuition has been on the rise since the 2009– 2010 academic year, when it was $18,490. Tuition totaled $22,884 in the 2014–2015 academic year—a 23.8 percent increase since 2009– 2010. “When you’re thinking about balancing budgets, you’re looking at increasing revenues sensitively ... we know that the bulk of college revenue comes from students,” Dowsek said. “Throughout this year, we’ve been trying to manage expenses so that instead of $3.5 million worth of deficit … we at least break even.” The college is analyzing its spending and strategizing ways to offset some of its expenses, Kim said.

Columbia names five honorary degree recipients

TATIANA WALK-MORRIS Campus Editor

AFTER COLUMBIA’S SPRING 2014 graduates stroll across the Chicago Theatre stage, they will hear words of wisdom from this year’s honorary degree recipients. The recipients include architect Jeanne Gang, owner of Studio Gang; Jim Jacobs, actor and co-creator of the musical “Grease;” Tony Karman, president of EXPO Chicago; Diane Ravitch, education historian; and Gordon Quinn, award-winning documentary filmmaker, according to an April 7 email from President Kwang-Wu Kim. The honorees will receive their degrees May 17 and 18 during the college’s five commencement ceremonies. Mark Kelly, vice president of Student Affairs, said the college selected professionals with a Columbia connection whose careers align with the college’s mission statement. The selections are based on faculty and staff nominations, he said. “They speak to our values, our beliefs in how we see the world,” Kelly said. “They’re creators. They’re thinkers. They are literally shaping the culture of our age, which in the end is what we expect from our students.” Gang, founder of Studio Gang, a local architectural firm and architect of the Media Production Center, 1600 S. State St., will receive her degree May 17. In addition to being a 2011 MacArthur Fellow, Gang has worked on architectural projects for well-known buildings including Northerly Island and the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo. She said her architectural designs are inspired by the world around her. “Traditional boundaries between professions are becoming less and less distinct,” Gang said in an email. “Graduating in 2014 with the creative thinking gained at Columbia College sets you up to leap across disciplines and make your career what you want it to be. Design your own future.” Ravitch, an education historian and research professor of education at New York University, will not attend this year’s commencement ceremonies because of a leg injury, according to Michele Fee Smith, senior agent for the American Program Bureau, which organizes Ravitch’s speaking engagements. Ravitch could not be reached for comment as of press time. Ravitch served as assistant secretary and counselor to Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander under

former President George H. W. Bush. She is the author of 10 books, including her latest release, “The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice are Undermining Education.” Quinn, Kartemquin Films co-founder and award-winning documentary filmmaker, has made several award-winning films and received a cinematography award from the Sundance Film Festival for “Stevie” (2002), a documentary depicting the director Steve James revisiting a troubled man he mentored as a foster child. He also won a Video Source Award from the International Documentary Association for “The Trials of Muhammad Ali” (2013), which follows Ali as he fights to overturn a prison sentence for refusing military service. Quinn said he became interested in film during high school. After attending the University of Chicago for his undergraduate degree, he became more interested in telling stories visually. Quinn said he learned a lot about

the technical aspects of filmmaking by doing an apprenticeship, adding that his storytelling ability came from studying the liberal arts and social sciences. Quinn said he deals with ethical dilemmas when producing documentary films, so he advises young documentary filmmakers to be responsible when portraying other people’s lives. “The thing that [documentary filmmakers] should pay attention to is the ethical questions that come up around what they’re doing,” Quinn said. “Ask what the ethical questions are in terms of [filmmaking] and what the consequences of what you’re doing are going to be.” Jacobs, an actor, songwriter and playwright, co-wrote the hit Broadway musical and motion picture “Grease” with the late Warren Casey. “Grease” was originally set in Chicago and based on Jacobs’ experience at William Howard Taft High School in the 1950s, Jacobs said, adding that he initially disliked the movie adaptation but grew to enjoy it.

Jacobs said his theater career began in 1963 when a friend asked him to appear in a play, “Champagne Complex,” about a young woman who undressed whenever she drank. In the beginning of his acting career, Jacobs said he was in an amateur acting group that performed at various small theaters including the Hull House Theater in the Jane Addams Center, 3212 N. Broadway. Jacobs said he thinks it is important for up-and-coming actors to work their way up. “[Theater] is a whole different ball game today,” Jacobs said. “If you have that dream and it’s in your blood and you’re determined, then keep at it.” Karman, founder and president of EXPO Chicago, an annual art fair showcasing international works of art, said he began the annual exposition in 2011 because it was important for Chicago to continue hosting international art fairs. The event allows local artists to showcase their work to a broader audience, he said.

Karman said he started as a security guard at the Chicago International Art Exposition in 1982. He said the experience gave him the foundation for his career as an arts promoter and marketer of contemporary art. “I just became a runner and did anything I could to make myself indispensable,” Karman said. “It opened the door for me to learn a lot of what production and large-scale events really are.” Karman said he advises current and graduating students not to fear unexpected changes in their career paths because different job opportunities will reveal themselves. He said he is open to new career opportunities, adding that he still does not know what he wants to be when he grows up. “They don’t have to have the answer to what the ending career might be,” Karman said. “By just working, being present and being responsible to any employer, those next steps will be revealed.” twalkmorris@chroniclemail.com

CASEY WALKER Contributing Writer IN THE WAKE of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, experts are reviving a question that has baffled aviation engineers for years: If black boxes are indestructible, why aren’t planes made from the same material? Black boxes—which are actually painted orange—are made of titanium. Constructing planes with the same material would be both expensive and heavy, according to the Aviation Knowledge website. The boxes are in fact two different devices: the Flight Data Recorder, an electronic recording device that records all of the flight control and engine parameters, and the Cockpit Voice Recorder, which records all conversations in the cockpit—including information exchange with air traffic control—ac-

two frustrating traits that plague many—have been thought to share a connection for some time now. Recent findings from the University of Colorado Boulder published April 4 in the journal Psychological Science suggest the primary link between the two characteristics may be genetic. Researchers have long suspected a link between the two behaviors but have had a difficult time determining what factors might be responsible for their association. “We knew the traits were linked but we didn’t know how much they were genetically linked in comparison to other influences,” said Daniel Gustavson, the lead author of

the study and a graduate student of cognitive psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Gustavson said the researchers anticipated a genetic similarity but did not expect the overlap to be almost entirely genetic. The research team collected and analyzed data from surveys related to procrastination and impulsive behaviors completed by 181 pairs of identical twins and 166 pairs of fraternal twins. Researchers found that about half of the reported instances of procrastination were due to genetic influences and the other half were due to environmental influences. Gustavson said the surveys showed similar results when measuring impulsivity. After analyzing the genetic influences on both traits, re-

searchers concluded that there is a strong likelihood of inheriting both qualities because they rarely appear independently. Benjamin Lahey, a professor of health studies at the University of Chicago, said he sees the two traits as aspects of conscientiousness. “Some people are out of control,” Lahey said. “They do things on impulse—they don’t plan, they don’t get things done on time—that would be a person who’s very low in conscientiousness, whereas people who attend college and are successful and do well in their jobs tend to be high in conscientiousness,” Lahey said. Lahey said though the study is well conducted and gives researchers a foundation for the claim that

Anthony Brickhouse, a professor of aerospace and occupational safety and applied aviation sciences at Daytona Beach College of Aviation, said black boxes are essential in locating missing airplanes, but their technology has proved to be in need of upgrades. “One of the main reasons we use black boxes is to get an electronic representation of information regarding a flight,” Brickhouse said. “Both of those devices have the ability to give you a tremendous amount of information that can be used to help an investigation.” Black boxes were first used in the ‘50s and ‘60s, and before that, Aly Dodds THE CHRONICLE

there is a genetic link between procrastination and impulsive behaviors, he is not sure it offers much practical value. The research team wanted to test two related ideas, said Akira Miyake, senior author of the study and a professor in the Psychology and Neuroscience Department at the University of Colorado Boulder. Miyake said the first of these ideas was that impulsivity and procrastination might be related because both traits depend on how effectively people can use their aspirations to guide their behavior and goal management. The second idea was that procrastination could be a byproduct of impulsive behavior, a theory that genetic data collected through the study’s participant surveys confirmed, Miyake said. She said early humans may have adapted to situations in a way that resulted in the development of a tendency toward impulsivity. “To some extent, we may have a genetic predisposition to being ‘in the moment,’” Gustavson said. “Impulsivity might have been a very useful trait for earlier humans who needed to satisfy [their] basic urges quickly. In fact, overthinking or overplanning could have been harmful [to them].” According to Gustavson, the genetic link identified between these traits suggests that impulsive behaviors may have once been so

crucial that it now results in procrastination—the inability to take the immediate steps required to accomplish goals. It is difficult for researchers to imagine why procrastination would persist in an evolutionary sense unless it was related to impulsivity or was beneficial at one point in humans’ evolutionary history, Gustavson said. These findings are the first to demonstrate that procrastination is not necessarily a learned behavior, said Kristin Jacobson, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago. “There’s [a] genetic overlap between the two, which is consistent with the idea that procrastination strategies evolve,” Jacobson said. Aggressive impulsivity has been linked to serotonin—a chemical in the human brain that plays a part in mood regulation, Jacobson added. Gustavson said that while human brains may be predisposed to procrastination, there are also other factors to consider. According to Gustavson, setting goals and setting reminders could help people avert impulsive procastinating tendencies, not just those who may be genetically predisposed to procrastination. “We’re not completely controlled by our genes,” Gustavson said. “We have a great amount of control over our environments and can combat [impulsive] procrastination.” chronicle@colum.edu

most plane crashes were left completely unexplained. Now, with flight data recorders, details about a flight’s crash—ranging from instrument settings to whether the plane was on autopilot—can be used to help infer what happened to the aircraft, Brickhouse said. “Before the cockpit voice recorders were mandatory, a plane would crash and the flight crew would die,” Brickhouse said. “Unless they were actually talking to air traffic control at the moment the accident happened, you wouldn’t get anything from the flight.” With cockpit voice recorders, communications between pilots and air traffic control can be assessed, and those listening to the recordings can detect inflections in the voice that would suggest a sense of stress or excitement, according to Brickhouse. If a plane crashes into a large body of water, the black box sets off an underwater locator—the pinger—which emits a signal detectable from approximately 13,000 feet below sea level for approximately 30 days, Brickhouse said. In the aftermath of Flight 370, there has been a call for different black box technology to make locating crash sites easier. One suggestion is that real-time flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders be made to transmit the information being collected via radio or satellite transmission

as opposed to just recording conversations, said Terrence Kelly, a professor at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology at St. Louis University. “Of course we need to protect that data, and we need to make sure that [the] data will not be compromised,” Kelly said. However, safety is not the only problem with real-time technology. “It would be very expensive [to implement] and also the bandwidth that would be required to exchange that information would be really hard to set up on a worldwide scale,” Brickhouse said.

Schieszer said live video in the cockpit is also a possible improvement, but he added that he was unsure of how helpful that would be in the long run. “There’s something to be said for too much oversight by big brother in the cockpit,” Schieszer said. It is not a matter of having the technology to build better black boxes; it is a matter of ensuring sufficient security and funds, Kelly said. “Black boxes have come a long way and there’s probably a lot more they can do,” Schieszer said. chronicle@colum.edu

Federal government ‘poaching’ vintage instruments NICOLE MONTALVO Assistant Arts & Culture Editor THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S new

attempts to protect endangered African elephants are causing some string musicians to panic. Importing and exporting ivory in the U.S. has been illegal for nearly 100 years under the Lacey Act of 1900. However, the regulations proposed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Feb. 25 would place a ban on the sale of any products containing ivory in the U.S. Ivory is found in vintage piano keys and also in the nut, bridge and binding on vintage guitars. Modern manufacturers use bone or plastic, but many antique guitars and pianos still contain slivers of ivory. Claire Cassel, public affairs specialist for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, said in an email that the law is necessary to stop poaching because evidence suggests ivory is still being smuggled into the U.S. “We are working with musicians, musical instrument manufacturers

and other industry groups that may be impacted by the ivory trade to look for solutions and seek common ground,” Cassel said. “However, this conservation crisis requires urgent and comprehensive measures to ensure that elephants, rhinoceros and other imperiled species are not pushed further toward the brink of extinction.” David Dolak, maker of stringed instruments and senior lecturer in the Science and Mathematics Department, said the law would negatively affect his business.

problem. He said he does not use new ivory when making his instruments and neither do any other luthiers, or makers of stringed instruments, he knows. “However many elephants are getting killed in Africa every year, [that ivory] really is not coming in here,” Dolak said. “But we, as a developed country, and Europe, we’re really taking the lead to [stop poaching]. [The new regulations are] picking up many people in the trap who have old items that have these materials that are [from] long

the concerns of musicians but also thinks the legal ivory market in the U.S. is a result of poaching. She said the U.S. has the second largest ivory market in the world. Although all of the ivory in the U.S. market is assumed to be legal, Allgood said there is evidence to suggest otherwise, which means the U.S. could be contributing to the poaching problem. “We looked at the laws around ivory trade [in the U.S.] and it is almost impossible for a federal agent to determine whether somebody

I could be breaking the law if somebody gave me a 100-year-old guitar. ” – Dave Dolak

“Let’s say I needed to fix a broken ivory nut,” Dolak said. “I could be breaking the law if somebody gave me a 100-year-old guitar.” Dolak said he does not think the law will help curb the poaching

has legal or illegal ivory because there’s never been any real documentation that was required for sale,” Allgood said. It has been speculated that the proposed law could expand

to include Brazilian rosewood, a material found in many antique guitars that is illegal to import to the U.S. Wayne Sefton, owner of Midwest Buy & Sell, said his business was adversely affected when Brazilian rosewood became illegal to import. “Somebody could order something from us and we could ship it overseas and customs could grab it, and we could be out [of ] the money,” Sefton said. “It’s making things a little tougher for [shipping products] overseas.” Allgood said she wants musicians and organizations such as IFAW to work as allies to combat misconceptions about ivory and rosewood used in antique guitars. “It could have been here for 200 years, but if you can’t prove it, and you don’t have to, then neither does the ivory launderer,” Allgood said. “There is evidence that there is a connection between the U.S. ivory market and poaching.” nmontalvo@chroniclemail.com

TOP NOT SAFE FOR WORK YOUR ONLINE TIME WASTERS OF THE WEEK

BLOG: The Hilarious Blog The Hilarious Blog is a repository of some of the funniest Tumblr posts. Updated several times a day, the posts are relatable and giggle-worthy. Ranging from animated GIFs of childhood heroes and screen caps of cartoons’ ironic moments to celebrity faux pas and embarrassingly horrendous autocorrect fails, users can waste hours of their time scrolling through this blog’s pages. Even better, users can repost content to their own Tumblr to share the laughs. Check it out at TheHilariousBlog.tumblr.com VIDEO: Stuart Edge’s Kiss the Girl in Real Life Taking a cue from “The Little Mermaid’s” song “Kiss The Girl” and giving it an ironic “Pitch Perfect” and “The Lion King” spin, online comedian Stuart Edge—accompanied by an a cappella group—follows random couples and sings the song until the couple actually kisses. What is even funnier is when Edge follows single women and pretends not to know what is going on until the women kiss him. It’s a seemingly desperate attempt to get a kiss, but it’s entertaining.

PET PEEVES

WEIRDEST VIDEO GAMES

REASONS CHIEF KEEF IS A MENACE TO SOCIETY

Rude customer service: I’ve worked in customer service, so I try really hard to be nice to fellow customer service workers. If I ask what my side options are or what salad dressings you have, do not point to a sign or a menu. Speak to me. Don’t just use gestures like a frustrated caveman. Perhaps I was stupid for asking, but indulge me anyway. My stupidity does not excuse your rudeness.

“Goat Simulator”: Have you ever had the intense desire to play a video game in which you control an invincible goat that can both defy the laws of gravity and wreck anything that stands in the way of its hoofed fury? Me neither.

When music is on but inaudible: Either turn it up or turn it off. What’s the point of playing music if all you hear is a ghostly whisper of sound? Rigid eating habits: I will never understand why some people don’t like to eat their meals like one complete experience. It bothers me so much to watch someone eat entrée, then side, then other side. Meals should be eaten in a circle to enjoy all the flavors together. Also, food should be savored, especially when going out to eat or sitting at the table with other people. Stranger’s inquiries about my tattoos: If I know you, please ask me about my tattoos; chances are I would love to share my stories with you. If I don’t know you, do not approach me to ask about a personal, permanent detail on my body. I got them for me, not for anyone else. And especially don’t ask me about them to only half listen to the answer and then laugh in my face. Chapped lips: My own, I mean. I don’t care if other people have chapped lips. I just can’t stand that feeling. I must have my ChapStick handy at all times.

“Moonwalker”: A launch title for the Sega Genesis, “Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker” is an arcade-style beat ‘em up loosely based on the 1988 film of the same name. In an uncomfortable plot, a crotch-grabbing, yee-heeing Jackson must save the children kidnapped by the evil Mr. Big. Yikes. “Exodus”: Another Sega Genesis “classic,” “Exodus” puts you in the sandals of Noah as you lead a merry band of Israelites to the Promised Land. Your weapon: the word of God. Literally, gigantic flying W’s that signify the word of God, which you then use to defeat enemies and obstacles Old Testament style. “Katamari Damacy”: Basically, players take on the role of the Prince… of the universe. His goal is to roll in a ball and collect the people, objects and animals of earth to create new planets, which his drunken father accidentally destroyed. As delightfully weird as it sounds, this PS2 title is definitely one to grab from the used bin. “Dead or Alive” (The Series): Tecmo’s sales were tanking, until one day “Dead or Alive” series creator Tomonobu Itagaki had an idea: Boobs sell. A fighting game more known for its busty roster than game play mechanics, “DOA” continues to be a huge facepalm for all of those who claim video games are art.

He is a criminal: Chief Keef has convictions for unlawful weapons’ use and probation violations and was charged with a DUI in March. He encourages violence: Ever since the song “I Don’t Like” dropped, people everywhere have been singing the horrifying lyrics, screaming “bang, bang” while holding up hand gun gestures. Keef is from the gang-ridden parts of Chicago, which makes it even more despicable that he could ever promote violence and rap, “We ain’t gon’ fight, our guns gon’ fight.” He is proud to terrorize: When promoting his new mix tape, Bang 3, he captioned an Instagram photo with #ImFinnaRaiseTheMurderRateUp. It just doesn’t get lower than that. The worst part is that he’s proud of terrorizing the suffering people in his hometown. His lack of respect for life and his city is appalling. His inappropriate Twitter content: On top of disgusting lyrics in his music, he also never holds back on his Twitter account. With 898,000 followers, it’s heartbreaking to know that each of those people are reading and supporting his profane and downright offensive tweets. His hideous dreads: Only a true criminal wears a disguise and Keef does that day-after-day by hiding his face behind his dirty, matted dreads. Plus, after he titled his debut album Finally Rich, you would think he could figure out a way to get a proper hairstyle and perhaps invest in some shampoo.

Angela Conners THE CHRONICLE Brooklyn-based indie rock band The National performs April 16 during one of its four sold-out Chicago shows at the Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St. The National’s latest album, Trouble Will Find Me, is nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. Vocalist Matt Berninger’s dark, cryptic lyrics and low rumble have spurred comparisons to the post-punk band Joy Division. 14 Ċŗŗ *,#&ŗüûąŗüúûþ

Arts & Culture

“Teen Mom 2” reunion special Pt. 1 Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry took the hot seat with Dr. Drew in the first half of the reunion where they discussed divorce, pregnancy, domestic violence and all of the regular baby daddy drama. It was actually pretty lame. Wait for part two. —N. Craig

“Modern Family” season 5 After a mediocre season 4, season 5 has been amazing. The writers are back to their original hysterical plots and jokes. This season has also had some incredibly heartwarming episodes that caused me to shed some unexpected tears. —M. Castellucci

“Awkward.” season 4 premiere When is this Jenna girl going to stop being awkward ... oh wait. Four seasons is too many. The show is starting to seem like a modern “Dawson’s Creek,” where kids are running around with one thing on their mind: sex. It’s getting old really fast. —N. Craig

“Arrow” season 2 Superheroes are overdone and overrated, as are the shows about them. This show’s only redeeming quality is the hunky Stephen Amell, not because his acting is groundbreaking or mesmerizing, but because his abs and biceps are unparalleled. —T. Eagle

ELLE April Issue Emma Watson always has a graceful presence and her Elle cover photo is especially enchanting. ELLE always chooses relevant and talented women. The feature highlights her current projects and is considerably funny, witty and relatable. —K. Davis

“Crackdown incenses Russia” by Sergei Loiko and Carol Williams The Tribune’s coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was informative and interesting. Although it is important, I think domestic matters warrant more attention. Also, more context about Crimea would have been helpful. —T. Walk-Morris

“A SILICON VALLEY DISASTER” by Alyson Shontell What a brilliant investigation by Business Insider. Who knew a startup like Clinkle, with potential to grow as fast as Facebook, is run by a 21-year-old a--hole? This is a great example of how investigations should be conducted. —J. Wolan

“Hamilton mom gives Barbies a multicultural makeover” by Samantha Craggs I thought this was a touching piece that highlighted the problem of Barbie dolls perpetuating unrealistic stereotypes. The dolls were gorgeous and I am proud Queen Cee Robinson is showing children that they don’t have to fit into Barbie’s false image. —C. Turner

“High Ball Stepper” by Jack White After announcing he is done playing shows, White’s new single “High Ball Stepper” prompted jubilee among loyal fans. The track is instrumental and includes rhythmic, chaotic guitar work along with driving drums—an exciting preview of the new album. —N. Montalvo

Hot Dreams by Timber Timbre The latest from songwriter Taylor Kirk is a sensual record with both the ability to put you in the mood and take you out of it immediately. It is a hypnotic combination of acoustic strums and saxophone lines over hop-scotch time changes. —M. McCall

Bright Fire by the Honey Trees The band reminds me of mid-spring days in high school, driving down an empty road on the way home from school. The singers’ voices are so scrubbed of passion that I feel almost nothing but utter tranquility. It can be nice, but not emotional. —E. Earl

“Miracle” by E-MUTE “Miracle” feels psychedelic and a little like a rock opera, with deeply serious lyrics to back up the intense feel of the music. E-MUTE released the track in the form of a video that showed the recording process, which added depth to the experience. —N. Montalvo

Beyoncé graffiti in Logan Square I happened upon a possibly illiterate artist’s contribution to the group of yellow metal people fastened to the wall of the Logan Square Blue Line. Clearly the original artist forgot to label the dancer as Beyoncé—with the accent mark facing the wrong direction. —K. Fowler

Tape Tape is my everything. Duct, Scotch, painter’s and electrical. All of it. The smell of the sticky plastic rolling off the dispenser, the way it adheres to my fingers, its clear bendy texture— rolling it around on my fingertips gives me a fuzzy feeling inside. —E. Ornberg

Graduation Tickets Seniors get five tickets for graduation. Yes, five. The college should be encouraging support of its grads, not limiting it, and now I’m going to have to beg people to donate their extra tickets so my 12-plus family members can watch me trip as I accept my diploma. —L. Woods

The Red Line at 3:30 A.M. on Sunday It’s always an adventure via public transit traversing America’s murder capital. You never know what to expect. It elicits mixed emotions when I read the headlines the next day and realize I missed being the top story by 10 minutes. —T. Eagle

No– just... no.

Uhmmm, WTF?

It’s whatever.

I can dig it.

NATALIE CRAIG Assistant Metro Editor FREE SUNDAY PARKING may come to a halt in parts of the Wicker Park, Bucktown, Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods if Mayor Rahm Emanuel heeds several aldermen’s concerns. Emanuel introduced the parking ordinance April 2 to the City Council to appease local chambers of commerce and aldermen who claim that locals monopolize spots during free parking hours. Maureen Martino, executive director of the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce, said many motorists leave their cars parked for hours, sometimes overnight from Saturday to Sunday. “We can’t move traffic,” Martino said. “Free parking may be good in some portions of the city but not when you are in a very densely populated commercial district.” The ordinance would reinstate paid parking on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on certain streets without adjusting weekday meter hours, which Emanuel extended in June 2013. He implemented free Sunday parking to ease tensions re-

garding his decision to extend paid weekday parking hours. Emanuel revised a 75-year contract with Chicago Parking Meters, the operators of the city’s parking meter system, granting Chicagoans

free Sunday parking in exchange for extended meter hours on weekdays from 8 a.m. until midnight downtown and until 10 p.m. in neighborhoods. The City Council approved the changes on June 5.

Drivers saved $2.1 million from Sunday parking fares between July 1 and Dec. 31, according to a March 4 Navigant Consulting study. Tim Gillengerten, the owner of Transit Tees, 1371 N. Milwaukee

Ave., said bringing back the Sunday parking fare would increase traffic to his shop but added that he would prefer the maximum parking duration be extended from two hours to three hours. “Ideally a compromise could be to extend the parking time,” Gillengerten said. “That would solve a lot of issues for people who want to shop and go to a restaurant.” Gillengerten’s business is one of many Wicker Park stores along Milwaukee Avenue, a street that is filled with cars and experiences heavy traffic. “By having the time limits, it causes people to move and provides more spaces for people to shop,” Gillengerten said. “On Milwaukee Avenue, people are already saying that they couldn’t find parking. It’s a huge issue.” Kelly Wolfe, manager of Buffalo Exchange, a secondhand clothing store located at 1478 N. Milwaukee Ave., said the store has not been impacted by the city’s free Sunday parking regulations. Wolfe also said she understands why some of her customers might be

Chicago casinos gamble on South Loop MARIA CASTELUCCI Metro Editor CHICAGO’S DECADES-OLD CASINO de-

bate is resurfacing as lawmakers push to create a state-owned gambling facility in the South Loop. During an April 15 public hearing, Rep. Bob Rita (D–Blue Island) testified that amending the Chicago Casino Development Authority Act to allow casinos to build within city limits would generate substantial revenue for the state. Rita is the sponsor of two amendments to the act, the first of which would allow for the construction of Chicago’s first casino—which would include more than 10,000 gambling devices, equivalent to more than eight riverboat casinos— and share profits with both the city and state. The second amendment calls for the opening of a smaller Chicago casino with up to 6,000 devices and four other casinos in Illinois suburbs. Supporters claim the stateowned facilities would lead to economic growth, but critics argue

there is not enough demand for casinos considering Illinois casino revenue has declined by as much as 50 percent in the past year, according to Tom Swoik, executive director of the Illinois Casino Gaming Association. Video slot machines, commonly referred to as video game gambling, have hindered the casino industry because they are conveniently located in bars and restaurants, so there is less of a reason to travel to casinos, Swoik said. The state began regulating the machines, limiting business owners to five in 2012. “If you see the figures month to month, there is a significant drop and it’s across the board,” said Caleb Melamed, an attorney for the Illinois Gaming Board, which regulates Illinois casinos. “A lot of people thought video gaming would not affect gambling and it does. You can’t act in isolation.” People are still able to gamble in suburban areas where there are no nearby casinos because they have access to slot machines in

restaurants and bars, according to Swoik, who said he is uncertain whether a Chicago casino would be financially successful. “We’re not creating new gamblers,” Swoik said. “This is a question of supply and demand. Creating new supply in a saturated market does not create demand.”

Despite concern that there is already too much competition for casinos, Rita maintains that gaming machines and traditional casinos are not comparable because they do not offer the same social setting and do not appeal to all gamblers. “They talk about video gaming and how it is saturating the mar-

ket, but we just regulated that,” Rita said. “There is no way in the world it is saturating the market. How could that be an argument?” Kim Goluska, president of Chicago Consultants Studio Inc., echoed Rita’s claims, adding that a Chicago

THE DE-GLOBALIZATION OF WORLD SIGN LANGUAGE By Crom Saunders, Assistant Professor, MA

April 23, 2014, 6:30PM | 624 S. Michigan, Room 602 | FREE The ongoing increase in exposure to American Sign Language

communities worldwide are now incorporating ASL features,

(ASL) in cultures and communities around the world is causing an exponential upswing in cross-culture contamination of sign languages with less documentation and recognition. A large number of communities, especially in underdeveloped countries, currently look to ASL as a model, since ASL has received worldwide acknowledgment and exhaustive linguistic analysis. This is problematic, since several sign language

vocabulary, and the English manual alphabet (in turn a contaminating influence on ASL) into their respective language systems, which disrupts the natural development of said systems independent of a contaminating influence. Linguists need to further scrutinize this phenomenon and measures that may be taken to analyze and document this current trend.
