Walking on sunshine: Jessica January drafted by Connecticut Sun By Ben Gartland Sports Editor

DePaul women’s basketball guard Jessica January was drafted 28th overall by the Connecticut Sun in the 3rd round of the WNBA Draft on Thursday. “I was watching it on TV with my teammates Meri Bennett-Swanson and Megan Waldron, Eli Cain of the men’s team, and coach Doug Bruno,”

January said. “When my name flashed on the screen, Meri started screaming, and coach Bruno stood up and shouted.” January, a senior, became the first DePaul player to be drafted since Brittany Hrynko in 2015. January averaged 15 points per game her senior season but missed most of the second half of the season with a broken finger. She was named the 2016 Big East preseason Player of the Year. She has also been a team captain for the

past two seasons. Toward the end of the draft, January said she wasn’t sure she would get selected. Then, with the fourth pick in the third round, the Sun picked her. “I’m just so excited (when I was drafted),” she said. “I was getting a little nervous.” January became the tenth-ever DePaul player to be drafted by WNBA teams. There are currently two DePaul alumni playing in the

WNBA, the Chicago Sky’s Allie Quigley (class of 2008) and the Minnesota Lynx’s Keisha Hampton (class of 2012). The Sun were also the last team to draft a DePaul player when they took Hrynko in 2015 but then traded her to the Atlanta Dream. The Sun finished ninth out of 12 teams in 2017. Their season opens up on May 13 and they play the Chicago Sky in Rosemont on May 28.

Jessica January celebrates after a NCAA tournament win in March 2016.

TALK THAT TALK

VICTORIA WILLIAMSON | THE DEPAULIA

Students, faculty chosen for TedxDePaul event By Charlene Haparimwi Contributing Writer

Connection is the key to conversation, awareness, and change. For the second annual TedxDePaul talks, DePaul University’s extraordinary students, alumni, and faculty members will be discussing their interpretation of the theme “Courage to Connect” on April 18. Hundreds of people applied to share their story and put their ideas into action on the iconic stage, but only ten people were chosen. “I’ve always wanted to speak at a TEDx event,” DePaul alumna Nelly Mueller said. “I think they’re so valuable as a platform for sharing, and I felt especially compelled to apply because it was with a community that’s given me so much.” The audition process was simple, record a video of yourself outlining what your talk would be about and how you would fit into the theme of “Courage to Connect.” “My audition tape was pretty simple,” Jameson Dixon Jr., job fair and events manager for the DePaul Career Center, said. “I talked about why I felt my story was connected to the theme and the overall goal of my talk. It was a pretty straightforward video.” DePaul junior Rachel Pride said she got her application in in the nick of time. “It’s a funny story, actually,” Price said. “I knew the application deadline date and assumed that submissions would be accepted until 11:59 p.m. that day. It wasn’t until about 3:45 p.m. on the due date that I read that the application was due at 5 p.m., and I was still at Lurie Children’s Hospital finishing up my volunteer shift. So once I finished cleaning up the playroom, I ran to the bathroom, recorded a quick proposal and took a Lyft back to my house to submit the application, which I luckily had written a few days prior.” Each person interpreted the “Courage to Connect” theme differently based on their

own life experiences. Elisabeth Lindsay-Ryan, an equity, diversity and inclusion adjunct faculty member at the School for New Learning interpreted the “Courage to Connect” in terms of discussions of race. “I interpret the “Courage to Connect” theme in terms of racial justice, holding oneself accountable, being open to feedback, and talking to your children about race,” Lindsay-Ryan said. “Some people think kids are too young to have these conversations with, but parents of color don’t have the same option. Fifty percent of white parents don’t talk to their kids about race. You have to be willing to have those open conversations.” Doris C. Rusch, an assistant professor of game design, found the “Courage to Connect” theme to be a perfect chance to discuss how she’s been feeling her whole life in terms of her connection with game design. “I think we need connection more than ever--to be able to connect to ourselves and others to create a better world,” Rusch said. “When we feel connected, everything is possible. When we feel disconnected, that’s when a lot of issues arise and become insolvable. It takes courage to connect, because needs could remain unmet or if we connect with ourselves, we might not like what we find. It’s great to have tools at hand-like game design that can facilitate connection, provide structures and frameworks for it.” Once selected, it was evident to the particpants that writing and re-writing the perfect TedTalk is no small feat. “Oh man, I had probably a dozen drafts,” Mueller said. “I mean, really, it ended up being about four official drafts, but the talk has been evolving as I discovered more and more what I really wanted to talk about. It wasn’t really difficult because, as you’ll see, it’s more of a reflection on my experiences. It’s almost like a re-telling of what I’ve learned up to this point. So, as you could probably

guess, editing it down tended to be more difficult than the actual writing, but it’s been rewarding every step of the way.” For many of the speakers the reflections on their experiences and how they grew up up plays a huge role in what their talks are about. Pride was born to two physician parents in Dallas, and has been serving her communities in both Dallas and Chicago. “Growing up with two physician parents taught me that underneath socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion and beyond, we are all humans deserving of love, respect and dignity,” Pride said. “Their dedication and constant service to others has inspired me for as long as I can remember, propelling my aspirations to be both a doctor and a constant advocate for global health equity.” Dixon Jr. was the fourth of 13 children, and a first-generation college student. He spoke of the difficulties and successes of the way he grew up. “Being a first generation college student in a way was a lot of pressure,” Dixon Jr. said. “You don’t really have a guide or someone you can trust who has been through the process of college before, so it’s like you have to kind of figure things out on your own which sometimes made it easier to make mistakes. Having so many siblings taught me how differently people communicate and understand each other.” Communication and conversation seem to be a key part of how many of the TedxDePaul speakers approached their talks. “I think we are all hoping to inspire, but I personally want to get the conversation about increasing minorities in finance going throughout Chicago and beyond,” said Brian Thompson, an entrepreneur and adjunct finance and economics faculty member. Kelly Richmond Pope, an associate professor in the School of Accountancy and Management Information Systems, wants to spark open-minded conversations.

“My talk is called ‘Why We Hate Whistleblowers,”’ Richmond Pope said. “I hope people are introspective and reflective of their own view of whistleblowers, and are honest about their true feelings. It’s important to take a step back and reflect.” For most of the speakers, introspection and reflection are important aspects of being able to continue the conversations and actions needed to change the world long after the TedxDePaul talks end. “I honestly just hope people feel more compelled to communicate and connect,” Mueller said. “Starting the conversation won’t change everything instantly, but I think it’s an important and especially necessary step towards understanding. I remind myself every day when I get frustrated by ignorance: I know action is better than awareness, but you can’t take action if you aren’t aware. So I try to make it my responsibility to make others more aware. I hope others choose to pick up that responsibility after hearing my talk.” Pride, whose talk is called ‘Courage to Disconnect,’ hopes audience members will spend less time on their phones and more time actively serving their community. “I hope that after watching my talk, people realize that it doesn’t take that much time to make an astronomical impact on your community and in turn, the world,” said Pride. “We have the distinct privilege to get a college education — a privilege shared by only seven percent of the world’s population —and it is imperative that we use this privilege to benefit those who may not be afforded the same opportunities. I’ve heard so many people complain about community service requirements for classes, organizations and beyond because they don’t have enough time to complete the requirements. My talk should serve as a wake up call to those people, especially if they spend a good portion of their time on social media.

TAKING ACTION ‘Vinny Vow’ workshop tackles sexual assault, bystander intervention By Rachel Hinton Managing Editor

Before entering their first college classes, fresh-faced freshmen are often told about the pervasiveness of sexual assault on campus, not just at DePaul but at universities around the nation. After orientation, some rarely hear about sexual assault again until April, sexual assault awareness month (SAAM). At DePaul, the month coincides with a greater push for bystander intervention training through “Vinny Vow” workshops that are aimed at increasing not only awareness, but students’ ability to intervene. Vinny Vow, which teaches potential bystanders safe and positive ways they can act to prevent or intervene when there is a risk for sexual and relationship violence, are often done by request. Student organizations and others can request for members of Health Promotion and Wellness (HPW) to come in and teach them the skills they may need to combat sexual violence. “What’s great about bystander intervention is that it gives you the skills to intervene and that’s what’s unique about it,” Shannon Suffoletto, director of HPW, said. “A lot of times you’re going through education, which is great, but this workshop is giving you a skill, lets you practice that skill. That equips you differently to move into the world and do something about it.” Nationally, sexual assault awareness month usually means introspection — campaigns pushing for awareness and broadcasting facts are often accompanied by efforts on college campuses to make students aware of how the issue could impact them. DePaul’s bystander training is partially a response to data gathered from the Diverse Learning Environments survey, which looks at the university’s campus climate. For sexual assault, the results were in line with national averages — across the board, students don’t report assaults to the

police or to campus police. Vinny Vow was created in part because of this. By teaching students how they can intervene, the hope is that they can help create a safer environment for all. Haley Majetich, a DePaul student who has participated in and facilitated Vinny Vow workshops, said that the experience helps students connect to others within the student body and build a sense of community. “It’s not just us spitting facts or definitions at you, it’s a chance to really be hands on,” Majetich said. “You get to see how others view sexual assault and the barriers to intervening.” The perception of sexual assault on college campuses has grown over the past six years and universities, including DePaul, now take part in studies of their campus climate to understand what’s going well and what’s still lacking. For SAAM, DePaul offers a variety of activities and conversations to engage students about issues related to sexual health and sexual violence. In regards to sexual assault, many universities are creating programs and engaging with students through education and workshops to try to mitigate the problem. DePaul’s diverse learning environment survey provided DANIELLE HARRIS | THE DEPAULIA numbers that are helping departments like HPW Information courtesy of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.

Alleged SGA election infraction could impede a transparent process By Jessica Villagomez and Rachel Hinton Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor

Though the campaign “season” for those interested in being president and vice president of DePaul’s Student Government Association (SGA) is barely underway, there have already been allegations of an election infraction that could impact the fairness of the results. Michael Lynch, who is running for president, said that Andrew Willett and Michael Greene, who are also running for president and vice president, used a master list of emails for student organization that is available to cabinet-level SGA members. If evidence is found that a mass email went out to these organizations, this could constitute

an infraction and a sanction could be placed against the WillettGreene ticket. In the fall, there were no allegations of election infractions. Anyone who has concerns that there may be an infraction can reach out to Megan Scoville, the chair of the Election Operations Board, who will then look into the allegation and determine if a penalty should be applied to the campaign or the referenda practitioner. When alleged infractions do come up, it is the job of the Election Operations Board (EOB) to determine if there was an infraction and to then follow through with the proper course of action. According to the EOB bylaws, penalties for a candidate may include a written warning by the EOB Chair unless the violation is one of slander or libel against another candidate in which time

a vote will be taken without a warning where the candidate can be disqualified by a two-thirds vote of the EOB. A second offense will result in disqualification by a two-thirds vote of the EOB. Violators of the EOB Bylaws may also be subject to action by the Dean of Students where appropriate, the bylaws said. In more extreme cases, any action by a candidate referenda petitioner, organization or individual that violates university policy constitutes an obligation of the EOB to report the conduct to the University Judicial Board. Scoville, who is currently the vice president of SGA, said that the bylaws lay out a clear course of action and that she and others on the EOB take allegations of election infractions seriously because it is important to the study body to have a fair process. “The bylaws are clear about the

steps it would take for a candidate to become ineligible,” Scoville said on the broader topic of election infractions since she could not talk about specific investigations. “We (on EOB) take this seriously. We’re committed to ensuring it’s a fair process.” Before the election in May, Scoville and those on the EOB will have to investigate the potential infraction on top of vetting social media posts, posters and other campaign materials to make sure there is no slander. A lot of the decisions about election infractions are up to the EOB chair, and, depending on the situation, could then be handed over to the judicial board. Willett, who is executive vice president of Student Affairs, denied these allegations and said he did not violate SGA guidelines. “The rumor that we used the student organization master spreadsheet is incorrect,” he said in

a statement given to The DePaulia. “We have only reached out to student organizations that we have friends in. All emails came from personal connections and any and all emails have been taken from Orgsync, which is accessible to all DePaul students.” Willett went on to say that transparency is at the forefront of Willett and Green campaign. Lynch, whose ticket includes Gracie Covarrubias for vice president, said that protecting the election process is important to creating a transparent process. “The students deserve a fair election. This is about transparency and fairness for all candidates. We have to set a standard. SGA should be the moral compass of the school, not the protectors of the status quo.”

April 17, 2017 CLIMATE CHANGE continued from front page McGowan South they have the double flush toilet systems,” Dr. Barb Willard, associate professor in the College of Communications and chair of Communication Studies at DePaul, said. “We also have the water bottle refill stations. So, all of that, are efforts that have been on the part of facility operations.” Facility Operations also donated $250,000 to Student Government Association (SGA), which then used this contribution for indoor green efforts, such as 91 water refill stations across all campuses. These stations contribute to tens of thousands of water bottles saved. SGA has also concentrated its efforts in the Quad at the Lincoln Park campus. Bike racks, solar panels, windmills and USB solar powered outlets are just some of the ways DePaul creates a greener environment. According to DePaul’s Office of Mission and Values, efforts in reducing the university’s carbon footprint are rooted deep in Catholic and Vincentian values. This decision to become a sustainable campus comes from the age-old Vincentian question, “What must be done?” For years, the DePaul Sustainability Network, Facility Operations and SGA have worked alongside one another to create a sustainable, environmentally friendly campus that can give back to its surrounding neighborhoods and the Earth itself. “If you look in Genesis, right from the very beginning it talks about our relationship of stewardship with the earth,” Dr. Mark Potosnak, an associate professor of environmental science and studies in the College of Science and Health at DePaul, said. “There is a really strong thread of Catholic faith centered around people that found inspiration for God in the wilderness.”

This strong sense of faith and belief in Catholicism and DePaul’s Vincentian values have led the university to create an Institutional Sustainability Plan called “What Sustains Us?” This is the fifth report in a series of sustainability reports for the university. This plan explains DePaul’s purpose and charge for its continuous efforts. The report is framed around the question, “In what ways does the focus on sustainability function to build DePaul’s capacity to be an agent of social transformation?” This is a report where religion and science come together to help with the “social transformation” of becoming a greener campus. “There is also a social justice angle,” Potosnak said. “Climate change is, again this is an idea central to our faith, to be charitable. Climate change is caused by people that are affluent, but the one’s that feel the effects first are the vulnerable. Essentially, you are robbing from the poor when you produce carbon.” Although DePaul has increased its efforts into reducing its carbon footprint, it still has some way to go to reach its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent in the year 2040. The university’s student body has a large part in helping their school with that responsibility. “It is vital to have all departments coming together,” Janis said. “Simple things such as all turning off lights when they leave their offices, residence halls or apartments, unplugging electrical devices such as TV’s, hair dryers, cell phone chargers and other appliances when not in use. We are all in this together toward helping to make a difference.”

DeVos discontinues Obamaera student loan protections By Danielle Harris News Editor

Less than a year after the policies were introduced under the Obama administration, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has rolled back protections created to prevent the exploitation of student loan borrowers. In a memo released April 11, DeVos said the move will “improve outcomes and experiences for federal student loan borrowers, as well as demonstrate sound fiscal stewardship of public dollars.” According to Fortune Magazine, the rollback followed “a letter from industry lobbying National Council of Higher Education Resources asking Congress to alter or delay the Education Department’s changes.” DeVos’ announcement means three memos issued by former President Obama’s education secretary John King will no longer be enforced. These memos called for “(Federal Student Aid Operating Officer James) Runcie to hold companies accountable for borrowers receiving accurate, consistent and timely information about their debt” and “the creation of financial incentives for targeted outreach to people at great risk of defaulting on their loans, a baseline level of service for all borrowers and a contract flexible enough to penalize servicers for poor service,

among other things,” according to the Chicago Tribune. On April 3, about a week before the Obama-era protections were reversed, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York released a study finding that outstanding student loan debt has reached $1.3 trillion. According to the bank’s study, the average student loan borrower graduates $34,000 in debt — a 70 percent increase from 10 years ago. DeVos has defended her decision, arguing the Obama administration’s student loan protections make the system less efficient and are an unnecessary use of taxpayer’s money. This concern is legitimate as, according to Bloomberg, “the Obama administration’s vision for how federal loans would be serviced almost certainly meant the feds would have to increase how much they pay loan contractors to collect monthly payments from borrowers and counsel them on repayments.” However, the increase in funding would be used to help students like DePaul senior Khaela Correa avoid future issues dealing with student loan services. “It’s definitely frustrating dealing with student loan servicing companies and I’ve experienced some miscommunication with my loans and the college,” Correa said. “The federal government should do something about protecting

(students), especially (because we’re) dealing with something that will affect us for a large period of our lives in terms of paying off these loans.” According to a study by the Government Accountability Office, 70 percent of borrowers who defaulted on loans “actually qualified for a lower monthly payment” but “services failed to provide sufficient information.” Additionally, when student loan services did contact “delinquent borrowers, the information (was) often inconsistent.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit

in January against Navient, one of the country’s largest student loan servicers. According to the lawsuit, Navient’s practices broke federal law and “prevented some of the most financially vulnerable borrowers from securing some or all of the benefits of plans that were intended to ease the burden of unaffordable student debt.” The Obama administration’s student loan protections were created to prevent practices such as these and to provide incentives for servicers best assisting student loan borrowers. DePaul senior Stefan Sampaleanu said the current situation forces student

loan borrowers to try and “work around (the current) exploitation of (student loan) systems.” Attending a private university like DePaul University is a more costly choice than attending a community college or public university, and students like Correa and DePaul senior Bethani Randolph took out loans with the hopes a return on their investment. “I’m nervous,” Randolph said. “I’m going to be a slave to the education system for a long time.”

U.S. and Russia respond to Syrian attacks

By Evelyn Baker Nation & World Editor

President Trump ordered the launch of 59 Tomahawk missiles toward an airfield in Western Syria on April 6 in response to what happened two days prior in the town Khan Sheikhoun. Early Tuesday morning, chemical bombs carrying sarin gas, a nerve agent, were dropped on Syrian civilians. U.S. officials believed the bombs were ordered by the Syrian government, headed by Syrian President Bashar Al Assad. Sarin gas is generally considered a weapon of mass destruction, and the death toll from the April 4 bombing reached 70 people, including children, and was one of the deadliest strikes since the start of the Syrian Civil War in March 2011. DePaul senior and founder of Students Organize for Syria at DePaul, Stephanie Bittar recalls when she heard about the attack. “I remember I was in class and had CNN on my phone and it flashed,” she said. “All I could think of was oh my gosh, all these families, all these kids(…) It was really terrible.” While Bittar doesn’t know anyone in Syria now, it is where her family is from. Her mother and father moved from Homs - a city in Western Syria about 100 miles north of Damascus, the nation’s capital - 21 years ago for the Caribbean. Eventually they made their way to Lincolnwood, Illinois. where the Bittar family calls home. American intelligence tracked the planes that carried out the chemical attack and assessed they were Syrian government warplanes that came from the Al Shayrat airfield in Western Syria. Bittar doesn’t agree with these reports. “There needs to be more investigation done in regards to the chemical weapons attack,” Bittar said. Bittar and her family support the Syrian government and do not believe Assad is behind the attack. An uncle of hers works within the government there, and has explained to her in the past “land controlled by the government is the most safe(…) compared to land controlled by ISIS.”

“(The U.S. government) has to look at the Arab world as a whole and see who is behind the chemical weapons attack. It could be ISIS, it could be anyone,” she said. Political science professor at DePaul, Richard Farkas, who specializes in Russian and Eastern European politics, disagrees. “Our intelligence services are very professional and not politically motivated. If they’ve reported to the administration they have evidence the regime (carried out the chemical attacks), it is likely the regime did that,” he said. The strike was quickly condemned nationwide with all eyes watching and waiting for Trump’s response. In 2013 — when Trump was a real estate mogul and reality TV show host without access to the United States' entire defense coalition — he decried U.S. involvement in Syria: “We should stay the hell out of Syria, the ‘rebels’ are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS? ZERO,” Trump tweeted. More recently during the 2016 presidential election, Trump, in response to his vice presidential candidate at the time, Mike Pence, asserting the U.S. should take a stronger stance against the Assad regime in Syria, disagreed saying “Syria is fighting ISIS.” In a later interview with the Guardian, Trump said, “What we should do is focus on ISIS. We should be focusing on Syria.” However, opinions and beliefs changed when presented with gruesome images of dying babies and children. The 59 Tomahawk missiles, made by Raytheon Co., costs about $1 million apiece, experts say. While not quite billions, the solo air strike at the airfield in Syria was a nearly $60 million decision made from Trump’s resort Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, where the president was meeting with Chinese President, Xi Jinping. “We are considering an appropriate response for this chemical weapons attack. A serious matter requires a serious response,” Secretary of State Rex

Tillerson told reporters from Florida on Thursday before the missiles launched. Meanwhile, more than 5,000 miles away in Moscow, Russian officials were reporting a different story. Jeffrey Marcus with The New York Times said: “Citing their own monitoring systems, (Russian officials) say a Syrian airstrike around noon on April 4 hit weapons-storage facilities on the eastern outskirts of Khan Sheikhun under the control of insurgents…” President Vladimir Putin blames Syrian insurgents for the chemical attacks and not Assad, who the Russian president has allied himself with closely. The LA Times reported that, “before the White House ordered airstrikes in Syria, Russia had been the most dominant outside military force, participating in a bloody military escapade aimed at propping up Syrian President Bashar Assad and his government.” Under Barack Obama’s presidency, the U.S. said Assad must go and supported Syria’s main opposition alliance, the National Coalition. Since the recent attacks in Syria, Trump’s attitude toward

Assad has shifted to align more closely with his predecessor, causing tension between him and Putin after the two were previously on good terms. Now that Tillerson has met with Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow, tensions remain between the United States and Russia, and professor Farkas brings insight as to possible explanations for Putin’s actions politically. Farkas has taught at DePaul for 45 years. He explains while there are surely a number of factors for why Russia remains allied with the Syrian government, one factor is historical. “The Soviets had a close relationship with some of the regimes in the Middle East,” Farkas said, “(it) stems from the fact it was a balancing of interests with the United States supporting Israel. The Soviets found an opportunity to support some of the regimes that were hostile to Israel.” While Farkas admits that premise is not central today, it creates a starting point. “What’s operating today in Putin’s policy is he’s getting pressure from the right wing in Russian politics saying he has to re establish some influence

and prestige (they) had in years past, (which takes the shape of) visibility in foreign affairs and allies.” As for Assad, Farkas said that to Putin Syria’s current state under Assad is a given. “(Putin’s) learned political instability - any kind of regime change - is negative from Russian foreign policy perspective,” Farkas said. Any opposing force, were it to come to power over Assad, would present a “wildcard” to the Russian administration, a risk Putin is not likely to take. “When (Putin) looks around the world and sees civil war like the three-way civil war in Syria,” Farkas said, “he’s going to come down on the side that prevents regime change.” However, Farkas said Assad was probably not the only one whose decision influenced the chemical attack. “It’s never quite as simple as one man making decisions of every sort and variety.”

Removal of United passenger shines light on airport police

N. Korean official: Ready for war if Trump wants it

Chicago, Illinois A tense, three-hour hearing Thursday about what happened to a passenger dragged from his seat on a United flight exposed confusion even among Chicago city officials about the duties of the littleknown police force at the center of the embarrassing episode â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and warnings it likely will be overhauled. In the middle of a tense exchange, Chicago Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans tried to correct one alderman when he referred to the officers as police. Alderman Edward Burke retorted that the state of Illinois recognizes them as exactly that. Evans said the officers were ordered in January to take the word "Police" off their jackets in favor of "Security," but that nobody followed through. Millions of people saw the word "Police" on the officers' jackets in the video of Kentucky physician David Dao being dragged off the jet. There was even confusion among officers about their duties. Jeff Redding, the deputy commissioner of security for the aviation department, said officers are instructed not to board planes unless there's an imminent threat. The confusion about the security force starts with the fact that airport security in Chicago is handled differently than it is in other big cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Minneapolis. Those cities have sworn, armed airport police officers. The United flight incident shined a spotlight on Chicago's aviation police. The city has about 200 armed city police officers stationed at the airports along with about 300 aviation officers. The aviation officers work for the city but not the Police Department, and they earn between $50,000 and $88,000 a year. They are trained at the Police Department academy, but not for as long a period as cadets that become city police officers. They don't carry guns, though before Sunday night some aldermen were pushing to allow the officers to carry guns. "Chicago employees should not be doing the dirty work for the Friendly Skies airline," he said.

Pyongyang, N. Korea

U.S. drops 'mother of all bombs' on Islamic State tunnel Washington, D.C. U.S. forces in Afghanistan on Thursday struck an Islamic State tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan with "the mother of all bombs," the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military, Pentagon officials said. The bomb, known officially as a GBU43B, or massive ordnance air blast weapon, unleashes 11 tons of explosives. When it was developed in the early 2000s, the Pentagon did a formal review of legal justification for its combat use. The Pentagon said it had no early estimate of deaths or damage caused by its attack, which President Donald Trump called a "very, very successful mission." The U.S. military headquarters in Kabul said in a statement that the bomb was dropped at 7:32 p.m. local time Thursday on a tunnel complex in Achin district of Nangarhar province, where the Afghan affiliate of the Islamic State group has been operating. The target was close to the Pakistani border. The U.S. estimates 600 to 800 IS fighters are present in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated heavily on combatting them while also supporting Afghan forces battling the Taliban. Just last week a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, 37, of Edgewood, Maryland, was killed in action in Nangarhar. The MOAB is a custom-made Air Force weapon that has been in the arsenal for more than a decade but never used on the battlefield, although it was available throughout the Iraq war. It is designed to hit softer targets such as surface facilities,

tunnel entrances and troop concentrations. It is pushed out the rear of the launching aircraft, guided to its target by GPS and slowed by a parachute. A separate non-nuclear weapon known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, which is larger in its physical dimensions but carries a smaller load of conventional explosives, is designed to take out deeply buried targets like reinforced bunkers. The MOP has never been used in combat. In its 2003 review of the legality of using the MOAB, the Pentagon concluded that it could not be called an indiscriminate killer under the Law of Armed Conflict. "Although the MOAB weapon leaves a large footprint, it is discriminate and requires a deliberate launching toward the target," the review said. It added: "It is expected that the weapon will have a substantial psychological effect on those who witness its use." Adam Stump, a Pentagon spokesman, said the bomb was dropped from a U.S. MC-130 special operations transport. He said the bomb had been brought to Afghanistan "some time ago" for potential use. Army Gen. John W. Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said in a written statement that the strike was designed to minimize the risk to Afghan and U.S. forces conducting clearing operations in the Achin area "while maximizing the destruction" of IS fighters and facilities. He said IS has been using improvised explosive devices, bunkers and tunnels to strengthen its defenses.

President Donald Trump's tweets are adding fuel to a "vicious cycle" of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea's vice foreign minister told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview Friday. The official added that if the U.S. shows any sign of "reckless" military aggression, Pyongyang is ready to launch a preemptive strike of its own. Vice Minister Han Song Ryol said Pyongyang has determined the Trump administration is "more vicious and more aggressive" than that of Barack Obama. He added that North Korea will keep building up its nuclear arsenal in "quality and quantity" and said Pyongyang is ready to go to war if that's what Trump wants. Tensions between Pyongyang and Washington go back to President Harry Truman and the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty. But the heat has been rising rapidly since Trump took office in January. This year's joint war games between the U.S. and South Korean militaries are the biggest so far. The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier has been diverted back to the waters off Korea after heading for Australia, and U.S. satellite imagery suggests the North could conduct another underground nuclear test at any time. Pyongyang recently tested a ballistic missile and claims it is close to perfecting an intercontinental ballistic missile and nuclear warhead that could attack the U.S. mainland. Many experts believe that at its current pace of testing, North Korea could reach that potentially game-changing milestone within a few years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; under Trump's watch as president. Despite reports that Washington is considering military action if the North goes ahead with another nuclear test, Han did not rule out the possibility of a test in the near future. "That is something that our headquarters decides," he said during the 40-minute interview in Pyongyang.

Help wanted

Public Safety falls short, students ask for more services By daniel reyes Contributing Writer Pierce Horvath was a victim of an armed robbery in January. Around 2:30 p.m., after returning to his car to get his art portfolio, Horvath was approached by a man with one of his hands in his hoodie pocket. The man pulled out a pistol while demanding Horvath to get down and give him everything he had. Horvath lost his phone and his wallet in the armed robbery. “Naturally, I cooperated and gave him my phone and wallet. No material item is worth a life,” Horvath said. “Once he grabbed those two things, he bolted down Montana Street towards the L station. After, I ran into the fine arts building and luckily found a Public Safety officer who helped me through the process of contacting the police and other necessary documentation.” After Horvath's experience, he thinks more can be done by Public Safety to benefit the student body. “I think that Public Safety should disclose more information regarding the description of these criminals, that way students know who to look for and whether or not they should report someone looking mysterious,” Horvath said. “I can almost guarantee that if Public Safety released descriptions of these people, there would be less open-ended crimes that us students have to concern ourselves with.” Attending university in Chicago does not exclude students from the violence that plagues the city. DePaul's student body continues to be exposed to different environments that can potentially pose multiple threats. Public safety must tighten its programs in order to offer maximum security on both Loop and the Lincoln Park campuses. It is commonplace for DePaul students to receive emails warning of multiple crimes that have taken place on or near the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses. These crimes tend to range from stolen belongings to criminal sexual assault and armed robbery. As these emails continue, DePaul students should question whether or not they are actually protected by Public Safety. From Jan. 18 to March 27, there were four reported armed robberies in the Lincoln Park area. The string of serious crimes started on Jan. 16, when a DePaul student was sexually assaulted near Lincoln Park’s Fullerton stop. In the Loop campus, reports of verbal harassment and criminal trespassing along with disturbances reports have tainted the university’s downtown campus. DePaul’s Public Safety protects these two campuses. However, following these reports of armed robbery and criminal trespassing, one incident leading to the shooting of a DePaul student, protocol has remained the same. Changes in protocol must be implemented or crimes on both campuses will continue. More can be offered. Whether it be through email specifics, or ramping up security in the Loop

campus, more can be done. Public Safety offers five student service programs to ensure safety. The escort service, which is one of the most popular, runs from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and is a safe way for students to make it home. However, this program falls short. To utilize the safety escort service, students are only able to contact Public Safety if they are located within the Lincoln Park area, not on the Loop campus. Students accessing the escort service can only utilize the service from a certain time frame typically when evening classes end. But, according to Public Safety reports, armed robberies take place in broad daylight, usually between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. “It's definitely disappointing to hear that there are not escort services in the Loop," junior Jazz Ruiz said. "I have class sometimes until 9 p.m. and have to walk home by myself. There's definitely a big difference in Public Safety from Lincoln Park to the Loop."

Students have expressed dissatisfaction towards the department. Anyone can step foot into the Loop's Student Center and cause a scene or harass students. Little to anything is being done to offer a sense of security. Sophmore Daniel Ghisolf-Astacio has raised eyebrows over the years when it comes to Public Safety. “Honestly, I do not have that much stock into their abilities,” Ghisolf-Astacio said. “The idea behind Public Safety is something that is comforting. However, having them around will not stop an armed robbery.” Robert Wachowski, director of DePaul’s Public Safety department, responded to the increase of armed robberies. “DePaul takes a proactive approach to alerting our campus community — students, faculty and staff — with email alerts and door postings when Public Safety is made aware of a crime or incident that happens on or near campus.” Addressing criticism of Loop’s pro-

grams, Wachowski added that little can be done for the Loop campus when it comes to the Safe Escort Service. “Unlike the Lincoln Park campus, where we have a service to escort students from campus building to campus building, in the Loop, because of limited resources, we do not provide this service.” In regards to the recent disturbance reports, Wachowski added that there is a plan in the works between the Chicago Police Department and representatives from other downtown universities. In response to the recent increase in armed robberies in the past couple of months, Public Safety has relatively remained the same. While safety programs are intertwined within DePaul — more can be done. Change in the way crime is reported can be improved. Programs can be introduced or refined. Only with change will the presence of Public Safety be felt and students will be safe.

All hands on deck

Lynch running for presidency, vows to improve SGA involvement By michael lynch Senator for Intercultural Awareness

“You’re in SGA right? What exactly do you all do?” This question struck me as odd but as I allowed it to sink in it made sense. Nobody knows what Student Government Association (SGA) does. This is disheartening to say the least but it is a result of years of SGA failing to actualize its efforts to be a transparent, relevant and coalition-building governing body. This is not to say current and past members have not tried and the desire is not there. DePaul University's SGA has shared governance, which affords us the privilege to speak on behalf of students to faculty, staff and administration. We are members of the Tuition Pricing Committee, President’s Diversity Council and a number of other working task forces. How can we possibly speak on behalf of students in these committees when we are not engaged and abreast of concerns that our campus has? For these reasons, SGA needs a shift in trajectory. SGA must be more than a public relations machine for the administration, which, unfortunately, has become our reputation. This is understandably so, since we rarely are heard speaking on matters that conflict with the administration’s stance. Neither are we seen facilitating a dialogue on the issues facing our students. While maintaining these relationships with administration is essential because, ultimately, we will need them to accomplish many of our goals, our focus should be on the students and addressing their needs and wants. So how can we begin to re-engage our

students to trust SGA? We can begin by being better listeners and attending student organization meetings regularly to have an accurate sense of the campus climate. We can foster stronger relationships with Good Day DePaul, the DePaulia, Radio DePaul, Her Campus and other oncampus media outlets to ensure our constituents are knowledgeable of our work. We can reverse the constitutional amendment that allows secret voting to increase transparency and allows constituents to hold their elected representatives accountable. Our positions must be used for more than resume boosting, instead as a platform to change agents in our communities. As I’ve met with students throughout the past year, academic resources have been a reoccurring theme. Resources such as information regarding the writing center, which offers students in person and virtual assistance with their writing assign-

ments, on-campus tutoring opportunities that are free of charge, internship advisors in different colleges and students' rights to challenge their grade if they deem it unfair. These resources are not easily accessible to students. The common response to that is,“it’s the student’s responsibility to seek help.” However, how can students ask for something they did not even know existed? I had a similar experience when I spoke with students regarding student affairs. The student population has become frustrated with what they interpret to be a lack of action regarding campus climate issues to the point they have become disenfranchised with the campus community. In every meeting I’ve had, the common question being posed is, “How can we get students to being actively involved on campus?” The answer to that is simple. You have to create an environment in which they feel as if they can be their unapologetic selves.

As we work through our internal issues, we must not ignore the debates occurring in our local and state government. Former SGA President Vanessa Cadavillo led the charge last year for SGA to advocate for MAP funding. This initiative continued this year under current SGA President Ric Popp and until funding is secured we must not let our guards down. As one of the largest recipients of MAP funding in the state, DePaul, like many other colleges and universities, is in a situation that will impact an in-state student’s ability to continue their education. Students who have hopes of a better future. As a MAP fund recipient, I recognize the severity of the situation, and the uncertainty it is creating for prospective DePaul students, current students and their families that rely on these funds. With a new university president, and SGA elections on the horizon, we must work to elect individuals into key positions that reflect the student population and will fight tirelessly on behalf of students. This will require the DePaul community to come together like never before and demand answers to tough questions. Do I expect us all to agree on every single issue? Absolutely not, and that is okay because conflict breeds creativity and innovation. But we cannot, as a governing body, allow fear to hold us back. No more “on brand” talking points. No more empty campaign promises. No more passing of the torch. We must work diligently, strategically and most importantly together with all hands on deck.

Letter: Debunking the myth of prescription drugs By kate lower As the rate of misuse and abuse of prescription drugs increases across the country, more and more communities, including our DePaul community, are focused on ways to provide support and resources. The prevalence of these drugs on college campuses in particular continues to be of utmost importance to address, and DePaul University is among those schools intent on providing the necessary education and prevention efforts to better support the university community. We are grateful to the DePaulia for starting this important conversation and we see this as an opportunity to shed light on our prescription drug use challenges and the extensive campus resources that are available. Health Promotion and Wellness and University Counseling Services are some of the on-campus resources that directly address this issue and offer support for students. Many of us take prescription drugs safely, as prescribed, and find their use beneficial in managing our health and well-being. There is a common misperception the misuse or abuse of prescription drugs is not as dangerous as other illicit drugs, due primarily to the fact they are FDA-approved and legally prescribed by

medical professionals. Students often express how prescription drugs can be helpful when there is a need to focus or to combat anxiety. However, unless the user is under the care and observation of a medical professional who prescribed the drugs, then such use not only is illegal but also comes with a much higher health risk. The common belief that stimulants, like Adderall, help with academic success has been contradicted by research studies. These drugs can also become addictive and seriously impede academic success, or even lead to other drug use to help medicate the side effects. Xanax is a sedative prescribed to help manage severe anxiety symptoms; this leads some to overuse or misuse as a way to self-medicate. It is highly addictive and should be monitored by a physician, as it can cause withdrawal seizures if someone who has been on it suddenly stops. More importantly, when drugs are taken together with alcohol, marijuana or other drugs, whether they are prescribed or otherwise, there is often a compounding effect, which means the body’s response can be intensified and at higher risk of serious medical issues. Knowing when and how to support friends who choose to use can be extremely complicated, especially because it can be so difficult to identify signals that there is a problem.

Studies show about half of undergraduate students nationwide who have been prescribed stimulant medications have been asked to sell or trade their prescription within the past year. While it may seem like someone is being helpful by sharing their medication, it can be a potentially harmful act. We want to remind our students if they start to have concerns about their friends’ use of prescription medications, or feel pressured to share their medications, they have resources available both on and off campus. As an alcohol and substance abuse prevention specialist, I welcome opportunities to educate students, as well as faculty and staff, who have concerns or questions related to substance use. The office of Health Promotion and Wellness also provides support to students who may be struggling with substance misuse or abuse. We can connect students to resources off campus that might be helpful in further addressing related issues. Students also have access to University Counseling Services, which can be a great resource to talk about stressors and learning more effective ways of coping with the demands and pressures many students report that they experience. There is more information on our website at https:studentaffairs.depaul.edu/ hpw/. To stay updated on future programs or other related opportunities to learn more about prescription drug misuse and

Focus LIVE AND IN CONCERT Students walk down memory lane and discuss their first concerts

DePaul students pose for a momento of their first concert at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois. As spring turns to summer, students venture out to various venues to enjoy music festivals and their famous artists.

By Christiana Jones Contributing Writer

You can almost feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the warm breeze, the humid air, the sound of laughter and chatter as people take to parks and sidewalks. Spring is almost in full swing and summer is just around the corner and, as anyone who loves music knows, that also means one thing: concert season. With the release of lineups for some of the most popular summer festivals, DePaul students found time to reminisce about their first concert experiences. Firsts always seem to have that same feeling: anxiousness masked by the hum of excitement, the nervous repetition of playing different scenarios out in your head. But when it comes to your first concert, there is almost

nothing like it. For some, the whole day was spent planning what outfit to wear, looking in the mirror to make sure their dance moves weren't too awkward, and listening to their favorite artist on repeat to get ready for the evening. For freshman Grason Clark, who saw Lana Del Ray at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom, it was the best day of his life. "I love Lana with all my heart, so it was such an experience," Clark said. "At the end of her show, she walked down the stairs set up in the middle of the stage and met fans that were in front of the barricade. I was all the way down on the right and she held my hand and smiled at me." Being a DePaul student makes it incredibly convenient when your favorite bands come

to town. It's the third largest city in the nation, so most big artists will stop by at some point, and the smaller artists might come a couple times a year. On top of that, some of the venues these artists go to are just a couple of L Line stops away from DePaul's campus. From small venues such as Aragon Ballroom to stadiums like Allstate Arena to the outdoor home of Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago is teeming with places for you to take a break and listen to some great artists. Some artists are really great about interacting with fans throughout the concert. Many artists will take the time to talk with fans after the show, or even just jump down to be part of the crowd in the middle of a song. To a fan, receiving a high-five

or even just making eye contact with their favorite artist can be a moment they will never forget. To get a moment like that at your first concert is pretty incredible, but that wasn't the only reason this concert was so important to Clark. "On top of it being my first concert, it was the first time I came to Chicago alone," Clark said. "So at the time, it was a pretty big deal to me." Some artists are even known for leaving a piece of themselves with the fans before they leave. This can be a moment in the middle of all of the music where the drummer throws out his drumsticks or when another band member throws their shirt out to the crowd. But for freshman Jack Bexell, it was something a little more special.

"I saw The 1975 at a venue called Myth (in Minnesota)," Bexell said. "They had an acoustic performance and a signing before at Mall of America, so I went and saw them then. I got to meet the band and got a guitar pick signed by them." Not everyone is as fortunate as Bexell to get a prize like that, but most people attending their first concerts aren't concerned about gifts or mementos. There's so much going on at once. The room is filled with people who all share a love of the same music. Their ears are filled with sound and the lights are flashing a million different colors into the darkness of the crowd. It's almost impossible not to get that wonderful sense of being completely separate from everyone while still being in unison. Unless, of course, it begins to feel like everyone is a little too close for comfort. "I went with a friend to the actual concert at Myth, but we got separated and I was totally alone," Bexell said. "It was just

M general admission, so I was alone in a packed, mediumsized venue and I mean packed like no one can move. I had to make my way through surges of people to get to her so that was fun," he added with a laugh. "But I'm a big fan of The 1975, so it was worth it to be that close to the band." Venues with general admission and standing-room only, such as the Aragon Ballroom and the Myth, may make your legs tired, but they can also give you an opportunity to get close to where the real magic happens, if you're willing to fight your way up there. Stadium concerts may provide the opportunity for an incredible light show or even just a moment to rest halfway in to the set. Outdoor venues, however, bring a unique aesthetic to the table that indoor venues just can't capture. "I saw Florence and the Machine last summer in Tinley Park," freshman Camille Koch said. "It was an outdoor venue and the evening was so nice. There was a beautiful

Pink Line sunset behind us, and it was one of those awesome nights where it was just chilly enough so that you didn't sweat when you danced with everyone." One aspect of concerts that first-time goers may not realize before they get there is just how socially aware their bands are. Many artists don'tshy away from political or world issues in the middle of their concerts. This can either be a refreshing moment or an uncomfortable shock. "I remember Florence did a big thing calling for people to put their phone lights up in a moment of silence for those who died in the Orlando nightclub shooting," Koch said. "And even though there were so many people at that concert, it seemed very personal. It felt intimate." For some, the intimacy of concerts is a coveted moment. The room or field is filled with people, the lighting is just right, the music is so loud you can feel it in your bones. Then, suddenly, you are filled with that feeling that this moment was cut out just for you and that in a world of chaos everyone in this room is perfectly in sync. Maybe it's the beauty of that moment or the feeling of the music reverberating around you, but something about concerts draws people back over and over again. So as the spring quarter approaches its end and summer starts to fill the lakeside air, take a moment to see if your favorite artists are nearby. After all, that could be the concert of a lifetime

From the left to the right, students find podcast for every political view By Charlene Haparimwi Contributing Writer

The popularity of podcasts, particularly political podcasts, has grown substantially in recent years. “I saw this boom in the industry where everyone is getting podcasts,” said Jack McNeil, a sophomore political science major and president of DePaul College Democrats. “All of these news commentators now have their own podcasts. There’s a former speechwriter (Jon Lovett) who helps to host ‘Pod Save America.’ Stephen Colbert’s ‘The Late Show’ podcast has over a million downloads every time they have an episode. People are more reeled in now, and it’s gotten really big.” Political podcasts have also grown in variety, especially post-election. They analyze and give depth to many issues in ways that will appeal to all kinds of people. “I reccomend political podcasts for everyone,” Hope Herten, a senior health sciences major and the Treasurer of the DePaul College Democrats, said. “Politics, whether or not you like them, impact our daily lives and no one can escape that. In our current environment when we are constantly bombarded with shallow information, podcasts offer a sanctuary to really hear people discuss things in depth.” Some of the top news and political podcasts have thousands, even millions of subscribers, including The New York Times’ “The Daily,” “NPR Politics Podcast,” “The Ben Shapiro Show,” “The Axe Files” by David Axelrod, ABC Radio’s “The Mark Levin Show” and Vox’s “The Weeds.” McNeil noted the recent shift in tone in a lot of podcasts. “You’ve seen a change in podcasts after the election,” said McNeil. “Trying to

reflect the period now, trying to talk about politics in a more no-nonsense kind of way, trying to have an honest conversation about the policies and the politics, and how it has an effect on people’s lives.” Molly Andolina, a DePaul professor in the political science department calls herself a political podcast junkie. “Some of my favorite political podcasts are FiveThirtyEight’s Politics Podcast, WNYC’s ‘On the Media,’ ‘Backstory,’ which is a historical look at issues of the day, ‘Pod Save America,’ and ‘Can He Do That?’ from The Washington Post which is actually really balanced and informative.” Andolina often finds herself listening to podcasts almost 24/7. “I have them playing so often around the house that the first thing my kids do when they enter a room is find my phone and pause it,” Andolina said. “I listen while I’m making dinner, when I walk the dog, when I do laundry. I listen when I run. They make my commute to work, which is often 45 minutes to an hour, more enjoyable.” Derek Peters, a DePaul alumna and creator of the Radio DePaul Podcast agrees that listening to political podcasts is integral to his commute to and from work. “I commute from Grayslake to the Loop every day for work, so I would say that I probably listen to a political podcast almost everyday,” Peters said. “It really depends on the distribution schedule of the podcasts. “Common Sense with Dan Carlin” comes out monthly, “The Ben Shapiro Show” comes out daily Monday through Thursday, “BBC’s Documentaries” come out sporadically, most of the others, like CNN’s “Party People” and “The Bugle,” come out weekly. I tend to listen within a week of them being released.” Herten is a huge fan of NPR’s podcasts.

“I listen to many of the political podcasts on NPR. ‘Code Switch’ is my favorite because it is about race in America,” Herten said. “I donate monthly to NPR, so I definitely take advantage of everything that they offer. I also listen to ‘All Things Considered,’ ‘Here and Now,’ and ‘Morning Edition,’ which similarly get into political topics without being strictly about politics.” According to senior member of the DePaul Socialists Felipe Bascunan Simone, there are many political podcasts for socialists as well. “As far as socialist political podcasts go, ‘We Are Many’ is a collection of talks that you can listen to in podcast form, that’s probably the most straight socialist politics podcast. ‘The Dig’ and anything on ‘Jacobin Radio’ are also pretty good, as well as ‘Intercepted.’” People have different ways of accepting some podcasts as more reliable than others. It can be easy to fall into the habit of only listening to political podcasts that align with your views, but some agree that podcasts offer a way to to listen to opposing views with an open mind. According to Andolina, listening to podcasts with neutral views can be a great way to start. “I can understand wanting to listen to podcasts that make you feel connected to others who are fighting for your cause, whatever that is,” Andolina said. “Podcasts can serve multiple purposes, including creating community and mobilizing constituencies. But if you want it as a news-gathering purpose, which I advocate, then listen to thoughtful ones, not those that are mostly high-fiving and amen’ing the usual perspectives.” Peters purposely listens to podcasts of opposing views often. “I listen to podcasts of opposing views all the time, I make an effort to do

so,” Peters said. “That’s definitely a major advantage of podcasting. With the sheer number of podcasts available, I think it’s easy to find shows and hosts that I find engaging, even if they don’t agree with my perspective.” John Minster, vice president of the DePaul College Republicans, thinks that although podcasts are not a good substitute as a whole to reading or watching the news, they are still beneficial. “If I’m busy or moving around and don’t have time to sit down and actually read, they at the very least will let me know about the big stuff if I didn’t already,” Minster said. “Personally, I listen to them more for analytical and argumentative purposes rather than just straight news.” Still, everyone interviewed agreed that everyone can benefit from listening to political podcasts. “There’s something about audio that makes it accessible,” sophomore political science major Doug Klain said. “I think there’s a very rich future for it, especially amongst young people. You can go on your phone and read a political article, but that takes you away from whatever you’re doing, it’s impossible to read articles while walking down the street or driving. But with political podcasts you can just put in your earphones, or put something on the car radio, and you’re still able to do whatever you’re doing.” Herten included a special note to those who don’t like politics, but can still get something out of political podcasts. “You might find, listening to people have intelligent conversations about politics and explain the context of certain situations in depth will help you not only understand our world better, but might spark personal interest,” Herten said.

Working hard or hardly working: the best college jobs By Garret Neal Staff Writer

Being a student means a constantly changing and usually pretty crowded schedule. Between classes and homework, it is hard to find time to just relax, much less get a good job to pay for a night out with some friends. It can be challenging to find a job with the right amount of flexibility or that does not pile on unnecessary stress. It can seem daunting at first to try and leap into the sea of the employed, but after a few deep breaths, the waters are not as frenzied as they may seem. One of the best places to begin looking is on-campus jobs. Junior Joe Laurendi has been working at the Ray Meyer Fitness Center since last spring. “I am an entrance attendant, that is the people who are at the desk when you first walk in who scan your card and give you your keys and fold towels. It’s not a very tough position by any means,” Laurendi said. Easy jobs can often turn monotonous, but Laurendi said he enjoys his work. “I really, really enjoy working there because for one, they create a really fun environment that people want to be a part of. I know it sounds stupid, but we call it a family,” Laurendi said. “And two, I run into a lot of people I would never really see by working at the gym. Everybody is in and out of there on a daily basis and I see a lot of friends and make plans there for that night.”

Another benefit of an oncampus job is the flexibility that comes with working somewhere that knows you have classes. “I’m only scheduled for six hours a week. There is like 50 of us who are entrance attendants so that makes up the seven-day work week, each about three hours a day,” Laurendi said. “We have a whole Facebook group where people put up their shifts so you can pick up more hours. Nine times out of 10 if you need a shift covered, somebody will take it for you. It’s flexible.” There are plenty of off-campus employers who can offer a similar flexibility and environment as well. One of the more popular student jobs is a barista. Senior Doug Klain worked at Starbucks for eight months before leaving recently to work at Radio DePaul. One of the bonuses for him was he could work over the summer and keep it going through the school year. “I started working at Starbucks last summer,” Klain said. “My family is from Virginia and so I was back there for the summer and I got a job at Starbucks specifically because I thought ‘OK, it’s something I can start in the summer, right now’ and they had a program so it would be super easy for me to transfer from working at a Starbucks in Virginia to working at a Starbucks here in Chicago. So, I could keep it going throughout the year.” Despite not being directly related to the university, Klain said one of the best parts of the

Former DePaul student Tony Romero worked at Brownstones at the Student Center in the Lincoln Park. job was its flexibility around his student schedule. “I was kind of juggling the Starbucks job and the radio station jobs and it got kind of hectic(…) but one of the best things I had there (Starbucks) was how flexible the work was,” Klain said. “They said ‘okay, if you want to work at Starbucks you basically just have to work a minimum of 12 hours on average every week, so I was able to do super flexible stuff.”’ Another job, though maybe not as common, is bartending. Senior Emily Remsen got there by

starting from the bottom. “I’ve worked in the service industry since I was 16. That was my first job back in California, where I grew up. I was a hostess for minimum wage and then different restaurant jobs and then I turned 21, I left to do some traveling,” Remsen said. “When I got back it was August of this year and I started applying for bartending positions. They hired me as a server so as soon as I got hired I was like ‘can you teach me how to pour beer?’ and I just kept asking until they were like ‘okay,

she’s basically a bartender.’” Bartending can seem like a job that might get someone into sticky situations, but Remsen said it’s location, location, location. “I chose a bar that is much more relaxed. It’s not actually a bar I see very many DePaul kids at because it is known to be a little older, a little calmer, more of a neighborhood pub(…)we play ’70s music, it is pretty mild, so I don’t have to shout at anyone,” said Remsen.

Rolling Stones exhibit opening weekend showcases new artifacts

The new Rolling Stones exhibit, Exhibitionism, tells the story of the most influential rock ‘n’ roll band in the world. Located at Navy Pier, the exhibit runs through July 30 and showcases new art, clothing and artifacts from the Rolling Stones.

By Jesus Montero Staff Writer

Making its Chicago debut, the first ever major exhibition for one of history’s most influential bands, The Rolling Stones’ Exhibitionism, debuted at Navy Pier last week, bringing Rolling Stones memorabilia, artwork and outfits from the band through their five decades together. From the early days of living together in a tiny flat to headlining some of the biggest stages in the world, the band’s evolution is on full display in a way that intrigues fans new and old. Starting in London, the Rolling Stones’ exhibit came to the U.S. last year, stopping in New York City before making its way to Chicago. Originally curated and produced by the Australian-based iEC Entertainment, the show has evolved since its start in London to include more relics of the band for guest’s to interact with. The four-month long engagement covers all things Stones — the bands history and influence in fashion, film, design and the recording processes for their hit albums. Covering 18,000 square-feet and nine thematic gallery spaces, the exhibit gives guests an introductory course into The Rolling Stones and leaves little of their history out of reach. Quotes from band members and other big figures who worked with them throughout their career, line the walls making a physical tour guide unnecessary. The band, through these quotes, images and artifacts, tells you everything you really need to know about them. The exhibit was curated with the full participation of the band’s most visible figures, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, as well as Charlie Watts and Ronnie Woods. Breaking boundaries throughout their career, The Rolling Stones have been on the forefront of history with their music. Exhibitionism showcases this with private archives with more than 500 rare items exploring the Stone’s from the very beginning. The exhibit lets visitors experience the band’s highs and lows. Even those who may not know much about the band’s music or history will find something interesting at the exhibit since it focuses on all aspects of the band — their interests in fashion, film, art and other topics — not just their music. Over 190 original works of art and design galleries are all on display featuring

some of the world’s most well renowned photographers, contemporary artists and designers. Original works include the likes of Andy Warhol and “Gimme Shelter,” which chronicled the band’s ill-fated free concert at Altamont Speedway in 1969, to a 2012 documentary on the Stones’ live performances and career by Martin Scorsese. Fans, with the help of a paired AV tour guide, will walk through details of the band that have never been seen before. A recreated flat that band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones shared in 1962 starts off the tour. Along the way, guests are lead through more defining moments. Handwritten lyrics sheets are in one room, vintage guitars and contracts are in another. Throughout the tour, fans will see what went on behind the scenes for some of the band’s biggest moments. This massive collection of music history is the largest touring exhibition with nearly 18,000 square feet. The experience concludes with a 3D concert of the Stones. Curator IIeen Gallagher was part of the curating process. It was Gallagher’s job to choose the right items to showcase by deciding what story they told through the exhibit. Gallagher was given access to an archive the band has outside of London. Gathering items there, Gallagher was excited to see how Chicago would welcome Exhibitionism. “I think it will be very well received in Chicago. The Stones came here their first time in America in 1964 so they really kind of have a soft spot in their heart for Chicago.” Gallagher said. “It’s really meaningful to them also because of the blues history in the city.” Narrowing the stories to the objects, certain experiences come back to fans from moments of the career of the Stones. “I think when people go through it they kind of relive their past. When you hear the music and see some of the iconic outfits, you’re kind of rolled back in time.” Gallagher said about the experience. “When the band saw the exhibit they were even a little nostalgic about seeing everything together. They were quite pleased with it.” Tickets for Exhibitionism are currently on sale. The exhibit runs through July.

On “The Far Field,” the fifth LP from Future Islands, Samuel Herring’s soulful voice carries romantic lyrics over instantly-catchy synth hooks that sound like they were ripped right from the ’80s. On the first single “Ran,” Herring asks the question any artist who ever had a crush can relate to: “what’s a song without you / when every song I write is about you?” Punk icon Debbie Harry of Blondie joins Herring on vocals for “Shadows,” a love song about past ghosts. These 12 new songs were made for the stage, where Herring shines with crooning growls and passionate dance moves. MARTY O’CONNELL | THE DEPAULIA

The Smith Street Band is one of the most promising bands in punk rock today, and their newest record only proves that. “More Scared of You Than You Are of Me,” the fourth LP from the Band Down Under, is full of relatable and smart lyrics (like the proclamation “We are more than future housewives!” on the lazy love song “Birthdays”) set over chord progressions that beg the listener to sing along. If you’re looking for an album to scream along to with your friends this summer, look no further: this it it. MARTY O’CONNELL | THE DEPAULIA

what’sFRESH in Film

Fate of the Furious In theaters now

The Discovery

On Netflix now

While it seems as though the franchise has surpassed its shelf life, “Fate of the Furious” marks another worthy addition the car-action series. For a series that started off with a realistic street car racing focus later turned to cheesy and over-the-top action, it’s hard to argue that the “Fast and Furious” films haven’t given fans exactly what they want.

As far as Netflix Originals go, the streaming service has produced and distributed an array of critically acclaimed films over the past few years. Unfortunately their newest film “The Discovery,” starring Robert Redford, Rooney Mara and Jason Segal fails to live up to the standards of past Netflix Original movies.

With new cars, new characters and more explosions, “Fate of the Furious” is nothing more than a barrel of fun for fans of the series and new viewers.

The romantic science fiction film explores the scenario of a scientific breakthrough discovery of a definitive proof of an afterlife.

From Vin Diesel to Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez to Helen Mirren, it’s hard to top the chemistry of this unconventional and charismatic cast as every actor and actress recognizes the ridiculous but entertaining film they’re in.

While the film certainly ends asking big existential questions to its audience, it fails to make the buildup to these questions remotely interesting as the characters and plot remain dry throughout the 101-minute runtime.

As the film sets up later sequels and spin-offs for the franchise, you can’t help but wonder if there will be a closing chapter anytime soon, but as long as the money keeps pouring in, expect to see more installments coming out.

In the end, there’s promise in “The Discovery” and possibly a good film yet the colluded story and boring characters ultimately overshadow any quality that was present.

YOU'RE HERE

FOR WHO?

We did the homework so you don't have to. Check back each week for the scoop on bands you can't miss at some of Chicago’s hottest music venues.

By Pat Mullane Arts & Life Editor

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS Fresh off the release of their seventh studio album “Whiteout Conditions,” Canadian indie rock band The New Pornographers returns to the Metro this month, bringing their pop-folk and indie sound to Chicago. Indie folk band Waxahatchee will be opening for the show, providing an impressive set duo for any indie music fans in the city. Even if ticket prices are too steep for this April concert, they’d be worth the price given The New Pornographers rarely travel south of Canada when they’re not on an album tour. While there are a great number of indie artists in Chicago, no band produces such anthem and chanting music like The New Pornographers.

THE REVOLUTION Also playing at the Metro this spring is The Revolution, the American rock band best known as the backing band for Prince’s “Purple Rain.” While the group broke up during the ’80s, a good number of members, from guitarist Wendy Melvoin to drummer Bobby Z, have returned in tribute after the death of Prince last year. Playing on April 23 and 24, the band’s performance is just a few days after the one year anniversary of Prince’s sudden death. For any fan of Prince, it’d be a shame to miss the rhythm, blues and psychedelic sounds of The Revolution.

THE CHAINSMOKERS Loved by some, hated by the rest, The Chainsmokers’ rise to fame may have been sudden yet the EDM duo has been shunned by much of the music community due to their “frat-like behavior.” Though they may not be the most likable artists, the American DJ/producer duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall have managed to hit the top of the radio charts more than once. While they’re surprisingly not playing at any festivals this spring and summer, your best bet to catch the duo is at Allstate later this month.

While the month of April certainly means warmer weather is upon us, it also means a whole ton of rainfall is coming too. Whether you’re walking outside without an umbrella or warm and dry in your apartment, rainfall can be both beautiful and dreadful. If there’s one thing the past few weeks have shown us, it’s that Chicago rainy days are here to stay this month. Here are four songs to help get you through a warm-weathered rainy day in the city.

1. “Yellow” — Coldplay This is for one of those days where you’re stuck inside looking out the window at the rainy weather outdoors while simultaneously contemplating your life and the world around you. While the song’s lyrics are a reference to the band’s lead singer Chris Martin’s unrequited love, the music video accompanied with it is merely Martin walking on a beach as rainfall pours down over him. Certainly not the most joyful song from Coldplay, it surely adds to a rainy atmosphere. 2. “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on

Crossword

My Head” — B.J. Thomas Easily one of the catchiest songs on this list, the 1969 song written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach was originally created for the film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” — for which it won an Academy Award. Recorded by B.J. Thomas, the song quickly became a hit outside of the film and was actually the first American No. 1 hit of the 1970s. If there’s a song for a happy-go-lucky rainy day, this song is your best bet. 3. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” — Creedence Clearwater

Revival A good tune to accompany B.J. Thomas’ cheerful song, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” by Creedence Clearwater Revival describes a sunshower, natural phenomenon when rain falls over the sun. While the sunshower description is the band’s explanation for the song, other fans have speculated the song’s lyrics refer to the Vietnam War, with the “rain” being a metaphor for bombs falling from the sky.

proven true. 4. “Purple Rain” — Prince and The Revolution While “Purple Rain” is merely metaphorical, the song by Prince and The Revolution is undoubtedly a classic that can’t be missed from this list.

Report: Gazi to transfer

Women pick up Dahlman

By Ben Gartland Sports Editor

Sophomore guard Erten Gazi is transferring away from the DePaul men’s basketball team, according to multiple reports. "Erten Gazi has his release and will transfer from DePaul," Scout reporter Brian Snow said on Twitter. The story was also reported on by VerbalCommits.com Gazi, from Guzelyurt, North

Cyprus, was one of DePaul head coach Dave Leitao’s first recruits during the summer of 2015. He started five games and appeared in 30 in his freshman season, averaging 2.2 points per game in 14.6 minutes. In his sophomore season he only appeared in 13 games, averaging 1.4 points per game in 4.2 minutes per game. The transfer opens up a scholarship for the Blue Demons, giving them two open scholarships for the 2017-18 season.

DePaul Athletics announced on Tuesday that women’s basketball has added former McDonalds AllAmerican Rebekah Dahlman to their 2017-18 roster. Dahlman, a 5-foot-9 guard, is a graduate transfer from Vanderbilt and is immediately eligible to play for the Blue Demons. She has a career average of 8.8 points per game and 6.0 points per game her senior season. Her college career

has been hampered by injuries as she missed the majority of her freshman season, which allowed her to redshirt and earn another season of eligibility. She averaged 15 minutes per game her senior season. Her redshirt freshman season saw her named to the SEC All-Freshman team after leading the Commodores in scoring. The Dahlman addition leaves the Blue Demons with all 15 scholarship spots filled going into the 2017-18 season. The 2017 class includes four incoming freshmen.

to keep themselves in contention in South Carolina for the Big East championship. Last year the Blue Demons finished third (out of nine) in the conference championship, and they only have one more tournament in Iowa to prepare for an improved finish this year. “(We) have the same emphasis each tournament, so I’m looking for us to keep building toward confidence in Iowa because there is a lot of teaching that goes on,” Kaufmann said. “This is going to be a good field and a good test and we just have to play our game, take the good with the bad and hopefully do more good. But we have to keep them in the process.” For both coach Kaufmann and assistant coach Marty Schiene, DePaul’s success in the conference tournament depends on the little things, and continuing to make small improvements in real time. “I think if everything comes together with the short game and the mental game we can do pretty well in the (BIG EAST) tournament,” Schiene said.

BASKETBALL, continued from back page then followed that up with a first round exit in the Big East tournament, leaving a scarcity of momentum moving into Leitao's third season. On Saturday March 4 DePaul lost 7965 to Xavier in their final game at Allstate Arena after 37 seasons and 526 home games in Rosemont. The game doubled as senior day for Chris Harrison-Docks, R.J. Currington, Peter Ryckbosch, Darrick Wood and star point guard Billy Garrett Jr, who exited the court to thunderous applause and bittersweet tears from family, team personnel and fans alike. "You want to go out of the arena you’re playing in for the last time the right way and you want to give the seniors something to remember for the rest of their life,” head coach Dave Leitao said. “We weren’t able to do that.” When Garrett arrived at DePaul in 2013, DePaul’s basketball program thought they could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Garrett was born and raised in Chicago, and without a little hometown loyalty, he likely would have taken his talents to a more competitive program. “I’ve had a lot of memories in this building and it’s going to be sad to never play here again,” Garrett said. “(I had) flashbacks to my first game at DePaul, and even before that, sitting in the crowd right behind the bench when my dad was coaching here.” By the end of his senior year, he passed Stephen Howard for the most career freethrows at DePaul, but he couldn’t reverse a long tradition of losing in Lincoln Park. Still, those close to Garrett and the program understand his impact on the DePaul community and Blue Demons

basketball. “You have to know (Billy) and his family to understand what he has put into this program,” Leitao said. “There may be guys that can jump higher, and do all that, but there is not going to be another Billy Garrett in terms of what his legacy means for DePaul basketball -- his name will be in the conversation with all the greats who have come through (Allstate Arena).” Garrett's exit leaves DePaul with a vacuum of leadership in the locker room. DePaul’s top scorer from the 2016-17 season, Eli Cain (15.6 PPG), will be the center-piece of DePaul’s starting five next season, alongside transfer forward Tre’Darius McCallum, but it remains unclear if either of them can replace Garrett as a leader. It will be especially important for DePaul to find a leader on the court as they make the move from Allstate to the highly anticipated and expensive Wintrust Arena near downtown Chicago, located next to McCormick Place on the Near South Side. DePaul partnered with the City of Chicago’s Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority to construct a new home for DePaul basketball costing close to $200 million – the university’s share of the cost comes out to $82.5 million. Over the last year, attendance numbers took a 24 percent dive, according to a viral report from Crain’s Danny Ecker. According to the same report, seven games saw fewer than 1,000 people in attendance, including two games with fewer than 600. The size of attendance isn’t the only attendance problem the university is having. Not only are the crowds small, the attendance level often depends on the number of traveling fans. In a column after the final game at Allstate Arena, longtime DePaulia

sports editor Ben Gartland wrote, “In the four years I’ve been covering the men’s basketball team, I’ve seen mostly empty games, DePaul fans regularly outnumbered by traveling fan bases....” University officials expect the new arena’s improved proximity to Lincoln Park and the Loop will help improve those numbers — especially among students. DePaul’s Athletic Director Jean Lenti Ponsetto said one of the primary motivations for the new arena was student complaints over the long commute to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont. Most DePaul students use the train as their primary means of transportation, which means a trip out to Allstate Arena requires two train rides amounting to roughly 90 minutes each direction, depending on game time. The commute to Wintrust is less than an hour each way, which promises to bring more students out to home games. “I wanted to go to DePaul games, but the arena was so far away,” an anonymous sophomore DePaul student said. “It’s like an hour and a half on the train and it’s just not worth it.” Better proximity to the Wintrust will certainly make DePaul’s home games more accessible for students, but it doesn’t necessarily increase their inclination to watch Blue Demon basketball. “I would like to be (a DePaul basketball fan),” the same DePaul sophomore student said. “But they are just too bad to follow.” No matter how well you accommodate the fans, you have to give them something entertaining to watch, which means DePaul’s multi-million dollar investment will put pressure on Leitao to produce wins in the near future if the university expects to meet attendance projections for the coming year.

An artist rendering of Wintrust Arena, which opens in the fall of 2017. DePaul will need to average around 9,500 in attendance at all 16 of their home games next season in order to break even on operating costs, according to a study commissioned by the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. Because Wintrust seats just over 10,000 fans, the Blue Demons may need to sell out a few games in order to hit that mark. Marty Murphy, DePaul’s Associate Athletics Director for Ticket Sales and Operations, says the attendance increases will also come from local Chicagoans looking to be part of something new in the city, regardless of their relationship to DePaul. Long term, the success of DePaul basketball rests mostly on winning games. The Big East Conference has a long history of dominant basketball, and DePaul will likely continue to struggle without making significant strides on the basketball court. “Top to bottom, the culture has gotten a

lot better (since I came to DePaul),” Garrett said. “It hasn’t necessarily translated into wins, but we have improved.” A culture shift is essential for a program to reform itself, but DePaul will need to overcome a huge performance gap in order to catch up with their conference opponents. At the end of the 2016-17 regular season, DePaul ranked 10th (last place) in all of the following categories: points per game (68.9), scoring margin (-5.7), field goal percentage (.430), three-point percentage (.326), opponent’s field goal percentage (.466), assists per game (11.4), defensive per game (22.4) and threepointers made per game (5.8). The hype around Wintrust promises to improve recruiting high school talent into the program, but top talent has historically been more attracted to the prospect of winning national championships than new arenas.

looking forward A look back at 2016-17, and a look ahead to a crucial 2017-18 to the 2004-05 season when Dave Leitao led the Blue Demons to a third straight postseason appearance and second straight 20-win season (he took the Blue Demons to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2003-04). In his first season back at DePaul, Leitao steered the Blue Demons to a 9-22 overall record, ending their season with a brutal 3-15 run through conference play to finish ninth among 10 Big East programs. In his second season, DePaul secured a last place conference finish (2-16 in the Big East)

The last time DePaul’s men’s basketball team had a winning record, George W. Bush was entering the final leg of his presidency, Barack Obama’s designs on the presidency were laughable, and Donald Trump had primetime reality TV show. A lot of things have changed since then, but the success of Blue Demon basketball is not one of them. If not for Jerry Wainwright’s 20-14 run to the NIT quarter finals in 2006-07, DePaul’s winning-season drought would date back

DePaul golf aims to finish the job in postseason By Shane Rene & Garret Neal Asst. Sports Editor & Staff Writer

As the men’s golf team travels to Iowa for the final regular season tournament before the Big East tournament in Okatie, S.C. (April 30 – May. 2), coach Betty Kaufmann said the Blue Demons need to improve the little things if they want to finish strong in the conference championship. “We saw a lot of pluses coming out of Chambers Bay last week,” Kaufmann said. “It’s a tough course and you can see them becoming more resilient because they have

confidence and they know if they make some mistakes they can go make some birdies out there because all of this is starting to come together.” A tough course, indeed — Chambers Bay Golf Course hosted the best players in the world at the 2015 U.S. Open Championship, and the Blue Demons held their own. DePaul placed ninth out of 18 teams and Jonathan Hewett recorded his fifth top-25 finish of the season on rounds of 72, 73, and 72 to finish five strokes over par (Chambers Bay played as a par 71 for the first two rounds and was shortened to a par 70 for the final round).

“This year has been a bit of an improvement for me,” Hewett said. “I’m looking to turn pro when I finish (at DePaul), so I’ve really set some goals to help me start playing well and I’ve had some good finishes this year.” Hewett, a senior from Clacton-on-Sea, England, has led the charge for the Blue Demons in his final season, leading the team in top-10 (two) and top-25 finishes (five). He ranks tied for second on the team in scoring average at 74.2, behind Freddy Thomas at 73.9. “I’ve really got on board with the mental

side of the game; I used to think about my score a lot on the course rather than staying in the process and trusting I can play good golf without thinking about it,” Hewett said. “I’m going into each tournament with a winning mentality of wanting to finish in the top part of the leader board, and I’ve been able to do that in about 75 percent of the tournaments so hopefully I can continue to do that in these last couple tournaments.” While golf is traditionally an individual sport, DePaul will need to score well as a team
