The Princeton Review® Releases 25th Annual College Rankings According to a Princeton Review survey that asked 143,000 students at 381 top colleges to rate their schools on dozens of topics and report on their experiences at them, the college at which students gave their teachers the highest marks is Wellesley College (MA). It is #1 on the “Best Professors” list in the education services company’s tallies for its 25th annual college rankings being released recently. Topping the Princeton Review list, “Great Financial Aid,” based on students’ satisfaction with their aid award packages, is Vassar College (NY) -- a not-so-surprising distinction, given that Vassar’s average undergraduate need-based scholarship last year was $45,100. Bentley University (MA) captured the top spot on the list, “Best Career Services” and quite credibly: the university reports that a whopping 98% of its 2015 grad respondents are employed or in grad school. The Princeton Review’s ranking lists of the top 20 colleges in these and 59 other categories posted recently at www.princetonreview.com/best381, where the lists can be accessed in full for free with registration. The ranking lists are also published in the 2017 edition of Princeton Review’s annual “Best Colleges” guidebook, “The Best 381 Colleges” (Penguin Random House / Princeton Review Books, $23.99) on sale now in print and available October 11 in an e-book edition. It is the 25th annual publication of the book. “Since 1992 when we created this guide to the colleges we believe are the nation’s best, academically, our purpose has been twofold,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s Senior VP-Publisher and lead author of the book. “One: we want to shine light on these exceptional institutions which represent only 15% of the nation’s four-year colleges. Two: we work to give applicants considering them an incomparable amount of campus feedback to decide which college may be best for them. We base our 62 ranking lists entirely on what the colleges’ customers, their enrolled students, report to us on our surveys. As such, they provide unique insights into the campus cultures, aid offerings, services, and student body communities at these schools. In the end, it’s all about the fit.” Of timely interest this year are the book’s ranking lists based on students’ reports about their political leanings. Topping the “Most Liberal Students” list is Sarah Lawrence College (NY), while Brigham Young University (UT) is #1 on the “Most Conservative Students” list. The book has lists naming colleges with the most and the least politically active students and a new list in this edition, “Most Active Student Government” on which Bucknell University (PA) is #1. Other ranking list categories in the book - and #1 colleges on them: “Best Campus Food” – University of Massachusetts Amherst “Best College Dorms” – Washington University in St. Louis “Best Health Services” – University of Wisconsin—Madison “LGBTQ-Friendly” – Sarah Lawrence College (NY) “Students Pack the Stadiums” – Syracuse University (NY) “Best Athletic Facilities” – Pennsylvania State University 10 of the #1 Rankings for 2017, from “Party Schools” – University of Most Beautiful Campus to Most Wisconsin—Madison Politically Active (PRNewsFoto/ “Stone-Cold Sober Schools” – Brigham Penguin Random House) Young University (UT) “Most Beautiful Campus” – Rhodes College (TN) “Happiest Students” – Rice University (TX) “Their Students Love These Colleges” – Virginia Tech The rankings in the 2017 edition are based on surveys of 143,000 students (average 375 per campus) at the 381 colleges in the book in 2015-16 and/or the previous two school years. The survey (http://survey.review.com) asks students 84 questions about their school’s academics, administration, student body, and themselves. The ranking methodology which is described at www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings/howit-works uses a five-point Likert scale to convert qualitative student assessments into quantitative data for school-to-school comparisons. “The Best 381 Colleges” is one of 150 Princeton Review books published by Penguin Random House (www.princetonreview.com/bookstore). The school profiles in the book include admission and financial aid information plus ratings of the schools in eight categories including: Admissions Selectivity, Financial Aid, Fire Safety, and Green. The rating scores (from 60 to 99) are based primarily on data from the Company’s surveys of administrators at the colleges in 2015-16. The book also has a list of “Great Schools for 20 of the Most Popular Undergraduate Majors” and a list of 200 “Colleges That Pay You Back” naming schools profiled in the Company’s book by that title published in February 2016. The Princeton Review is a leading tutoring, test prep and college admission services company. Every year, it helps millions of college- and graduate school-bound students achieve their education and career goals through online and in person courses delivered by a network of more than 4,000 teachers and tutors, online resources, and its more than 150 print and digital books published by Penguin Random House.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Sears has taken a bold step toward elevating its apparel offerings with the planned launch of “Showcase at Sears,” a unique shop-in-shop experience that gives members and customers an exclusive opportunity to shop more than 10 of Europe and Latin America’s hottest international apparel brands – most available for the first time in the United States. “We are creating an experience for our members unlike anything in the U.S. retail industry – a fashion-forward, shop-in-shop apparel collection featuring established and popular international fashion brands,” said David Pastrana, president of apparel, Sears Holdings. “Showcase at Sears gives our members access to fresh international trends, styles and fashions at an affordable price – and only found at Sears.” Initially launching in five New York-area stores this fall, the Showcase will feature men’s and women’s apparel, women’s shoes, intimates and handbags, and children’s apparel. Sears is building a 10,000 to 15,000 square-foot boutique within the existing apparel footprint of each store that will be staffed by dedicated associates. Apparel styles will range from fast fashion and fitness to contemporary sportswear and professional looks, with prices ranging from $10 to $175. “These curated collections are a perfect complement to our existing apparel assortment and offer exposure to brands you’d

one principal scrambling to do all the work. Small minority businesses do themselves no favors, when they can’t manage the scope and scale of work that some larger employers require. For all the barriers and challenges of scale, minority businesses are important, because they are more likely to hire minority workers, those affected by the persistent unemployment rate gap. Minority businesses, when they have employees, are also more likely to hire and advance women in executive positions. Entrepreneurship matters because it expands the realm of possibility for people of color, allows people to participate fully in the economic realm, and provides people with the opportunity to earn profits and to share those profits with family and community. In order to fully encourage minority business, Fortune 500 companies must commit to supplier diversity and set numerical procurement goals. Federal, state and local governments, must also ensure that there is full minority participation in the contracts they award. But minority businesses must also understand that economic development can’t happen without economic justice. Minority businesses must provide jobs that pay living wages to the workers that they hire. Minority entrepreneurship matters. It matters most when it is both profitable and communitytransforming.

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT BLACK MENTAL HEALTH

SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING: FAITH IS A VERB By James Washington (The Dallas Weekly, NNPA Member)

cripture says you should live your life in such a way that those around you can see the Jesus in you. “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16. I know that sounds good. But what does it really mean? The only explanation that works for me is the one that talks about service, i.e. doing something in the name of the Lord. I still believe faith is a verb. We all know no one can live a perfect life. But it shouldn’t take a district attorney’s cross-examination to figure out where a person is coming from. The man who professes to love Jesus shouldn’t be okay with cheating on his wife, be content with a life of crime, or rationalize illicit sex, drugs

and satanic rock and roll. If so, then Allow me to testify about what the Lord cannot be your leader, nor I know to be true. My Bible says the Christ your example. We’ve all done it closer we come to Jesus, the more we to some degree, but at some point in experience the blessings of God. And your supposed walk with God, your why wouldn’t we? After all, those behavior, your are Jesus’ obedience, your footprints principles and in the snow. integrity must The path to shine through. righteousness Perfection may be is clear. The impossible, but goal is simple. serious effort is Be in right not only possible, relationship it’s mandatory. with God. You’ve got to give “But seek first it your best shot His kingdom each and every James Washington says that perfection may be and His day. You can and impossible, but serious effort is not only possible, it’s righteousness will fall short, but mandatory. and all things it shouldn’t be for will be given you lack of effort. I forget who said, if you as well.” Matthew 6:33. This ‘seeking’ try you might fail. But if you don’t try, to me has always meant working in you’re guaranteed to fail. Please note some capacity. Jesus said, “As long as that God requires effort. it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent me.” John 9:4. Now none of us has Jesus’ pedigree, but I am not opposed to working for what I want. I’ve done it all my life. You probably have too. So the important question is how hard are you willing to work knowing that your very soul is at stake? Just what are you willing to do to let the world know who you are and whose you are?

For By Patricia Maryland, Dr.PH (NNPA News Wire Guest Columnist)

The good news of the gospel makes it clear that this is easy, if not ridiculously easy. Love God and love your neighbor. In this context love is a verb. Do enough so that the Jesus in you meets the Jesus in me. Do something, anything, that another person can’t mistake for anything else but kindness from above. For me, I’m asking God to walk with me in an effort to witness (see this column). I don’t exactly have it down yet. I’m finding that it’s not something you can study. I do know it’s triggered by the recognition that somebody needs to hear, in my case read, a word from God. You should know that at that particular moment, God has chosen you to deliver His Word. So open your mouth and speak. This work that I am trying to focus on is recognizing that I must let go and let God use me to uplift another human being. For those of you who are used to this, you know this is a very humbling experience. But, “…If a man will not work, he shall not eat…And as for you brothers, never tire of doing what is right…” Thessalonians 3:10-13. In the vernacular of the day, get up. It’s time to get busy. May God bless and keep you forever. The Dallas Weekly is a member publication of the NNPA. Learn more about becoming a member at NNPA.org.

SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU By Dwight Brown (NNPA Newswire Film Critic)

“Thought he was just another smooth talking brother?” says an inquisitive Chicago mom. She’s repeating the words her daughter used to describe a colleague she’s meeting for a first date. Never have eight words been so inaccurate. That “he,” is a twenty-something Barack Obama. The daughter is Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. As this very romantic and intelligent film brings one of the world’s most famous relationships into view, it’s easy to see why Barack and Michelle are still in love. Famous presidential relationships abound. There’s the eccentric, Franklyn and Eleanor Roosevelt. The tumultuous, Jack and Jackie. The divisive, Bill and Hillary. Now there’s Barack and Michelle, this generation’s famous POTUS union. And their relationship is almost the model for cohabitation. Both are smart, sharp, liked and admired. They’re private, yet they live their lives in the public eye. How the hell they’ve kept their marriage together, without much controversy, is a mystery to most. Until now. It’s ironic, but perhaps the best way to understand their relationship is by looking at the seeds of their romance through a reimagined first date, through the eyes of a White filmmaker who doesn’t even know them. First-time writer/director Richard Tanne recreates the first days of the Obama’s partnership with a reverence fit for a king and queen and an intimacy few romantic films achieve. It’s almost as if you’re hiding in the backseat of Barack’s old beat-up car and eavesdropping. Or sitting next to them in the movie theater when they see Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing.” Or standing in the back of a community center when Barack delivers one of his first rousing speeches and Michelle is impressed. Tanne’s efforts are helped greatly by Patrick Scola’s unobtrusive cinematography, Lucio Seixas’s simple production design, Megan Spatz’s lived-in costumes, Evan Schiff’s spot on editing (84 minutes) and a caressing musical score by Stephen James Taylor (Maya Angelou and “Still I Rise”). Their collective efforts set the time and place perfectly. It’s 1989, and a hot summer day/night on the Southside of Chicago. Even with the A/C cranked up high it can’t cool things down. In the midst of a heat wave,

this decades-old African American community faces challenges it still encounters today. A desire to get ahead, live in peace and bring opportunities to a neighborhood that is stymied by crime, an apathetic government and all that goes with life in the inner city. Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter, “Ride Along”) is a Harvard Law School-educated attorney working at Sidley Austin LLP, the sixth-largest U.S.-based corporate law firm. As one of only a few Blacks in the office, she’s in a highly visible position. Michelle is the advisor for the first-year law associate Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers). It is with great reservation that she agrees to join him on an excursion to a community meeting at a church. She is adamant about not fraternizing with one of her Black, male colleagues. People will talk. Barack shows up in a junkyard chariot, a broken down, compact car with a hole in the floorboard of the passenger side. They drive off, sitting close but a cool distance apart, emotionally and intellectually. Her part of the conversation is very academic and professional. His is nosy. They verbally spar, like defense and prosecuting attorneys feeling each other out to see who has the She talks about the job. He asks, “Do you believe in God?” She resists his invasive questioning. He persists. As day turns into evening, and evening into night, a platonic meeting becomes a mating dance. A tête-à-tête between two brilliant minds. You have to wonder how Tanne was able to recreate a very intimate moment, without actually being there or

interviewing the first couple. His source materials were news articles and a video he viewed of the couple recounting their first date. The rest is his imagination and a smart creative strategy that bridges intellect, emotion and physical attraction. Surprisingly, Tanne achieves his goals with a dialogue-

heavy script and a style that is reminiscent of the Richard Linklater/Ethan Hawke/ Julie Delpy long-winded, but thoroughly beguiling films “Before Sunrise,” “Before Sunset” and “Before Midnight.” It’s the same kind of heady, verbal movie that artfully blends romance, life affirmations, thoughtful opinions and deep emotion. Films that make you think and feel. There are points in “Southside With You” when the Afrocentric discussions (arguing over the best Stevie Wonder song) between the two colleagues become more personal and depict a supportive relationship in the making. Barack talks about his father who died and was buried under an unmarked tombstone. Michelle tells him his mission should be to put words on the stone. The connection Tanne depicts between the two provides an illuminating backstory to a powercouple that under the glare of the spotlight always looks like they have a private bond and shared mission that will endure.

Parker Sawyer has a slightly darker complexion than President Obama, but the cheekbones, shape of his head, skinny build and determined eyes are a spitting image. It’s uncanny to watch him smoke cigarettes and give an inspiring speech. Tika Sumpter captures the essence of Michelle Obama. Her aura is identical. Her performance is brainy, assured, loving and nurturing. “Southside With You” vividly recreates the budding romance of Barack and Michelle. It also puts on a screen, for everyone to see, a romantic courtship between educated African Americans, the kind that Hollywood rarely depicts. A very winsome and loving film. It’s hard not to be swept off your feet. Dwight Brown is a film critic and travel writer.
