As I walked among my gun-protesting fellow students at Dallas’ City Hall last Saturday, I couldn’t help observing, “You guys are determined all right, but you aren’t nearly as hot about this issue as I am.” I wanted to shout out “OK, kids, let’s stop all this polite pleading and just do something about the school shootings and firearm violence in our country. Let’s get really serious here. Let’s yell for what we actually want to happen.” The little chant motif I’ve coined for my headline goes straight to one simple and final solution to this ugly problem: get rid of all the nonhunting weapons in America. Period. Over the long term, say 10 years, I say let’s make it monetarily attractive for people to turn in their dangerous toys for cash (or an income tax deduction), and then reclaim the metal for peaceful purposes. The Bible calls this “beating swords into plowshares.” I call it common sense. Notice I’m not advocating merely ending peddling this junk in the future. I’m going a lot further. In addition to banning bumpstocks and assault-weapon sales immediately, I propose rounding up the entire nonhunting portion of the 300 million firearms in today’s America and permanently destroying them. And as far as I’m concerned, “firearms” include pistols which I consider as much people-killing weapons as AR-15s. To do this I suggest paying an incentivized price, one that is too attractive to ignore, which would be raised by a temporary earmarked tax that I’d be very happy to support. After some point, anyone possessing or even abetting anyone with a banned weapon would be subject to heavy fines and criminal prosecution just like machine-gun and bazooka owners are today. Implementing such a drastic policy would finally put the U.S. on a par with every other civilized nation in the world. For a change. Right now, we’ve shamefully managed to answer the president’s plea to “Make America First” only in gunfire mayhem. As for that sacred Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the one about militias and everyone having the right to bear arms that so many paranoid people think we need to protect us from political anarchy, I say simply, “Fix it.” Anybody who can understand an English sentence, including five apparently illiterate justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, needs to be able to see, in absolutely clear language etched into our basic human-rights document, exactly what the huge majority of us want: a 21st-century society without the fear of getting shot. If we the people of the United States could amend our Constitution three times about slavery and voting rights in the decade after the Civil War and twice in this century about
liquor, we can surely do it again now about deadly weapons if enough of us stand up and speak out. It might take a few years, but as you probably know, constitutional amendments put forth by and for the populace, with or without Congress, can actually still be done. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for more overt action on such long-term goals. As the teens have recently been yelling, “Enough is enough!” Meanwhile, here are some intermediate steps we can take: First, demand that the news media stop making celebrities out of the nut cases that shoot people. Insist on this by turning off your TV at once if a shooter’s name is broadcast. Advertisers will soon get the message. Then push for legislation to hold friends, relatives and officials criminally accountable for not warning about these sick folks and acting. The signs are too obvious to miss. Also grant victims’ families the right to sue everyone who is negligent for huge civil damages. Parallel to this, make violence-inducing video games extremely expensive to own and play. In other words, do your part as a citizen to put a significant monetary face on this disgraceful public health matter. When things begin to cost serious money, the people in power will begin to pay serious attention and change will come. Second, go to bat against the screwball idea of arming teachers and licensing ordinary people to carry around concealed pistols. This is not the Wild West of the 1870s. Do you really want your children and loved ones to routinely participate in more OK Corrals or Waco, Texas restaurant shootouts? Both the bad guys with guns and the good guys with guns can learn to do without all their guns, as far as I’m concerned. Even more urgently, we should endorse the current congressional efforts to increase background checks, raise gun-ownership age limits, and identify, register, tax and insure every legal hunting firearm. If acceptable restrictions and efficient registration systems can be put in place for our motor vehicles, surely we can do as much for our more lethal paraphernalia. Finally, there’s the matter of the National Rifle Association and its contribution as a powerful political lobby to our present societal situation. One thing to consider is simply joining it for $40 and then overwhelming it from within with the disgrace it deserves, because it’s clearly not about rifles. Another better action is demand more exposure from the media to our local Congress people and the money they receive from the NRA in comparison to their gun-related voting record. By doing these things, we can all echo the message these strident young people are so clearly sending to the politicians this year: “This is not about your party or how you voted on some other issue. But as far as gun control is concerned, you’d better get your act together and your résumé updated, because your days in office may be numbered.”

Kendrick Lamar performs during the Grammy Awards on Jan. 28.
Transcending genres while remaining unwaveringly true to himself Managing Editor
Kendrick Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize winner. The artist has subverted the musical landscape with unwavering swagger and an artistry parallel to none. He has been duly recognized for his opus “DAMN.” “Rap is poetry. It’s thought-provoking and there’s thought behind it and there’s great writing in rap as well. You never hear rappers being compared for like the greatest writers of all time. You hear Bob Dylan. So is Biggie Smalls in a Hitchcock way. Some of the things that Biggie wrote ... Rakim, I mean listen to some of the things he wrote. I mean if you take those lyrics and you pull them away from the music and you put ‘em up on the wall somewhere and someone had to look at them, they would say, ‘This is genius. This is genius work.’” This quote was from an online interview Jay-Z gave to promote his book “Decoded” in 2010. Fast forward to 2016; Bob Dylan was formally recognized as a “great writer” when he won a Nobel Prize for literature. His recognition was a manifestation of Jay-Z’s words six years earlier and reiterated the concerns about the value of hip-hop artists. Now in 2018, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth has been awarded a Pulitzer for music, a monumental achievement, not just for the artist, but also for what he represents as a voice for the African-American community and hiphop culture. Since the Pulitzer for music was first awarded in 1943, the winners have primarily been classical composers and jazz musicians. Lamar is the first artist outside those genres to be considered for the coveted prize. The award announcement was surprising to say the least, not because the decision is debatable, but for
the very fact that the award, for more than 70 years, has been reserved for the elite few. Since his foray onto the scene, Lamar has been denied his due in the mainstream media and in several highbrow award ceremonies. In 2013, he was nominated for “Best New Artist,” “Best Rap Album” and “Album of the Year” for his debut studio album- “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City” at the Grammys. He didn’t win any awards. Instead, Macklemore won the “Best New Artist” and “Best Rap Album” to the disdain of fans and critics alike. The uproar was so intense that Macklemore apologized to Kendrick via text. Shortly after the ceremony, Macklemore posted a picture on his Instagram that said “You got robbed. I wanted you to win.” In February 2016, Lamar was the mostnominated artist with 11 nominations heading into the Grammys. It was a chance for the Recording Academy to redeem itself after the controversy in 2013. This time he did win, but yet again there was controversy. The most critically acclaimed album of 2016, “To Pimp a Butterfly,” lost out in arguably the most important category, “Album of the Year,” to Taylor Swift’s “1989.” Yet again there was outrage. After the ceremony, many fans and journalists alike were resigned to the fact that Lamar might not cross that last hurdle, that his art may never be fully recognized for its ingenuity and that he would miss out on the most crucial times because of the unfairness of the system. But this Pulitzer win changes everything. The Pulitzer win is not just about the award; it represents an overdue recognition by a prestigious long-standing institution that has always seemed unattainable given Lamar’s history. The Pulitzer committee described his recording “DAMN.” as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern
African-American life.” Lamar, through his medium, is a vivid storyteller. The award is not specific to this album but an ode to his catalog. He has proven time and again- from his debut studio album“Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City” to “DAMN.” his ability to script a movie with words and sound, captivating anyone who dares to listen There is never an oversaturation of sounds. In songs like “u” the screams, the coarse texture of his voice and the saxophone combine to create a bittersweet cacophony that perfectly conveys his emotion; a depressed man on the edge, pondering life’s essence. In a nutshell “u” is an apt description of Lamar’s artistry. In every song, he is deliberate with his delivery. He carries every word with the weight
it requires, intensifying and fluctuating his voice with intonation that reflects the different characters in his movie- The Kendrick Lamar story. “DAMN.” was released on April 14, 2017, and the album was awarded the Pulitzer on April 16. Although the two events are unrelated, the accolade fittingly commemorates the birth of a masterpiece. The Pulitzer is synonymous with journalism and writing and I believe it is no coincidence that Lamar has been honored with this prize. This award could signify the changing of the landscape, legitimizing and accepting the cultural impact and creative process of rap (poetry) that has been largely disregarded in elitist spaces.
Kendrick Lamar’s album “DAMN.” is the first nonclassical or jazz album to win a Pulitzer.

“A Quiet Place:” Survival is key JEREMY GAYDOSH Staff Writer
“Who are we if we can’t protect them?” This rare instance of spoken dialogue in “A Quiet Place” sums up the essence of the film. Director-co-writer-star John Krasinski (yes, Jim from the oh-so hysterical television series “The Office”) has crafted a truly effective drama wrapped up in a horrifying monster flick. After an apparent post-apocalyptic attack, few humans have survived. We follow a family that practices the key to survival: silence. Sign language is used. Sand is poured onto the roads and floors in houses and shoes are discarded. Krasinski said in interviews that he views the film as an allegory of being a parent. His philosophy is spot-on with the story in that parents have the task to raise their children in a world with great beauty but with danger beneath the serenity. Krasinski heads a brilliant cast, giving a moving performance as the father who is doing everything he can to protect his family. Emily Blunt gives a tremendous performance as the wife and mother who shows both love and concern for the fate of the family. The love between the parents in the film is all the more vivid as Krasinski and Blunt are also offscreen husband and wife. The mother is with
child and has a suspenseful birth scene that is a true feat in acting as she is terrified of being discovered by the creatures while enduring labor pains. Rounding out the family is the eldest, a daughter who’s deaf (a riveting Millicent Simmonds), and the son (Noah Jupe, very good) who have to endure being raised in a world with danger around every corner. At first one may assume this is a wholly silent movie, but that is not the case. While sign language is used, words are whispered to make sure what they say is clearly communicated. Even so, viewers only need the body language and facial expressions to know what is being said. Arguments are signed between Simmonds and Krasinski when the relationship between father and daughter is strained. She wants her share of responsibility and her rite of passage into adulthood even during scary times. There is a tender scene in which Krasinski and Jupe share a father-and-son moment during a hike where a survival technique is introduced. Also, there is a special moment between Blunt and Jupe emphasizing that even if the circumstances are scary, they must keep going. Being part of a family is the true objective. The film shows how actors can convey so much emotion with minimal dialogue. That makes for a moving viewing experience and a truly winning film. — Grade A+

New “Lost in Space”is an other-worldly adventure
RICKY MILLER Entertainment Editor
TV’s “Lost in Space” (1965) was a hokey television program that did not really hold my interest. The trouble was that the series with Guy Williams, June Lockhart and Jonathan Harris was very outdated. A movie incarnation of the television series was done in 1998 with William Hurt, Mimi Rogers, Matt Le Blanc and Gary Oldman with director Stephen Hopkins. That version did not fare any better, given the so-so visual effects and a ridiculous backstory that did not go anywhere. On the A-F scale, I think I gave it a C-. Now, Netflix is putting its hand in the cookie jar by updating the premise with a new take on the Robinson family and its predicaments in space. The newest version follows the Robinson family’s dilemmas with mother Maureen (Molly Parker), dad John (Toby Stephens), son Will (Maxwell Jenkins), daughter Judy (Taylor Russell) and other daughter Penny (Mina Sundwall). This all-new tale is more fluid and dynamic compared to Hopkins’ mediocre version from the 1990s. That film just felt flat and seemed uninvolved with characters that viewers couldn’t care less about. The plot twists and turns in the new series are intriguing, to say the very least. For the first time, Mr. Smith is a Ms. Smith with
“Hair” (1979) — As my readers know, I’m not a fan of musicals with exceptions for “The Blues Brothers,” “Across the Universe,” “All That Jazz” and “My Fair Lady.” In “Hair,” Treat Williams (“Prince of the City”) stars in this adaptation of the Broadway musical that was a big hit at the time. C-

indie darling Parker Posey as June Harris/Dr. Smith. That is only part of the intrigue, since the series takes some major shifts with the dynamics of the storyline. The actors all fit the bill in this well-done presentation that excels where the others have failed. This new version is set 30 years in the future and takes liberties in its setting and storytelling. Like Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” viewers watch the tale and forget the pseudo reality while the events unfold as pure entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. — Grade B-

Science Research Boot Camp offers students hands-on experience THU NGUYEN Layout Editor
RichlandStudentMedia.com
The Richland Science Department, in collaboration with the Honors Program, recently hosted a reception for the presentation of certificates to students who completed the Science Research Boot Camp. The ceremony took place April 6. Richland is the first school in the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) to have a Research Boot Camp program on campus. Started in February, the boot camp lasted six weeks with 21 students participating. The students gathered for the meeting in Sabine Hall from 2 to 5 p.m. every Friday. The program was led by Richland chemistry professor Dr. Dwight Randle. “Community colleges usually do not have federally funded STEM research programs on their campuses. As such, community college students do not have the opportunity to learn marketable research skills,” Randle said. “This puts our students at a disadvantage when applying for summer research opportunities compared to their counterparts at fouryear universities. The Research Skills Boot Camp is designed to increase the competitive-
ness of community college students when they apply for summer research positions.” Although this was the first time that the Research Boot Camp was introduced at Richland, it was successful. The students seemed to enjoy the program. Applications for the next boot camp are also coming in. “Other universities have found out that Richland is doing this,” Randle said. “They are interested in our students, so we’re asking if we can develop a pipeline for Richland students who have gone through boot camp to do summer research at their university.” During the ceremony, the Richland Honors Program and developmental math professor Susan Vaden gave a $500 scholarship to a student. The scholarship, called the Vaden Honors Program Science Award, honors Dennis Vaden, a former science professor at Richland. When he died, his wife, Susan, decided to call for a donation. Instead of spending money on flowers, people who went to Vaden’s memorial service were asked to donate to the fund. Donations funded one-time scholarships for Richland students in the science and music programs. Dennis Vaden was also a singer in the Richland Community College Choir. “Dennis, my husband, was a science teacher.
[He] loved science, never quit reading science, science publications, keeping up with science news, any kind of news developments,” Vaden said. “He was a teacher at heart. I’m sure that Dennis would be absolutely thrilled with what we chose to do.” The award recipient was Karen Mejia, a sophomore majoring in chemistry at Richland. She was chosen based on her outstanding GPA, dedication in Honors science courses including the Research Boot Camp and plans to pursue a career in science. Mejia was surprised at being named the winner. “It was really unexpected. I didn’t know that they were going to do an award. It’s the last meeting. I figured [it] was going to be, kind of, last minutes of practice or something. A farewell; good luck, sort of thing.” Mejia plans to transfer to the University of Texas at Dallas and get her bachelor’s degree in chemistry. She is excited to see how the skills she learned in the boot camp will help her get a research internship and apply it toward her long-term pursuit of science. The next Science Research Boot Camp is expected to take place in October 2019. Randle is seeking support to buy more equipment and is preparing a marketing plan in order to expand the program in the future.
Richland briefs
The Workforce and Continuing Education Program at Richland is launching a Career Exploration Series. The first event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. April 25 in the Lago Vista Gallery in the library. Rose Galloway, associate vice president of workforce/continuing education, said the program will focus on the advanced manufacturing program. “We’re bringing industry professionals in from small, medium and large companies, and they’re going to do some panel question
answering,” Galloway said. “Then they’re going to sit at tables and let students come over and talk to them.” Galloway said the idea is for students to learn how industry professionals started their careers, what sparked their interest in their chosen fields and what a typical “day in the life” involves. “This series is for students in advanced manufacturing and anyone interested in that field,” she said. The event is open to the community as well. Galloway said they will have anywhere from

Richland baseball sets sights on playoffs Tru Grit Time to rally Sinking just 25 points below .500, the Richland men’s baseball team continues to fight for the postseason. After getting clobbered by North Lake 16-2 on Friday the 13th, the Thunderducks retaliated the next day against the Blazers 27-9. On April 20, the Thunderducks won in a close game against the Brookhaven Bears, 6-5. The Metro Athletic Conference is up for grabs. At the moment, Brookhaven, Eastfield and Cedar Valley are in the top three with the T-Ducks not far away. Cowboys Dezaster Everybody knows when you leave a job on bad terms, you don’t lash out on social media. Obviously, Dez Bryant didn’t get the message. Was it a “circle” that got rid of him? Or was it his lackluster performance last season? Any way you slice it, both Dez and the Dallas Cowboys were in the wrong. Now the question is how can you replace a star wide receiver like Bryant? Easy. Find a better, younger, more mature offensive catalyst in the NFL Draft. Are things looking bright for Bryant? Not now and no one in Dallas cares. It’s time to win again, Cowboys. There are too many mouths open and it’s time to see more action. A possible Dallas connection Can Courtland Sutton fill Dez Bryant’s shoes in Dallas? The wide receiver from SMU has the size and athleticism that the Cowboys really need to blow past the opponents’ secondaries. In 2017, Sutton produced 68 catches for 1,085 yards and 12 touchdowns. He decided to skip his final season of eligibility to go pro. His height would be sufficient and compares to other top NFL receivers like Mike Evans and Alston Jeffery. There won’t be another Dez Bryant and that’s the good news. Sutton can fill that void in two or three years.

Dallas Marvericks founder Donald Carter.
Retire the Carter hat The man who is responsible for bringing pro basketball back to Dallas in 1980 will have his jersey retired...but it won’t be a jersey. The famous Stetson cowboy hat worn by Dallas Mavericks founder and first owner Donald Carter will be raised up to the rafters at the American Airlines Center. As a gift to his wife, Linda Jo, Carter and Norm Sonju came together to purchase an NBA team for $12 million. The league approved and the Mavericks were born as the NBA’s 23rd team. The original Mavs logo with the cowboy hat came from Carter. What they failed to realize
was that the University of Texas at Arlington already claimed the Maverick team name. Carter and company stuck with it and the rest is history. Carter owned the Mavericks from 1980-1996 through good times and bad. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern presented the 2011 NBA championship trophy to Carter at current Mavs owner Mark Cuban’s request. Carter died earlier this year at 84. He’ll join Maverick legends Brad Davis, Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper in the rafters. And in a couple of years, future Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki will join Carter and company with his #41 jersey retired. -Tru Armstrong
