Ray’s new principal takes cues from teachers’ vision for school
By DASCHELL M. PHILLIPS
Staff Writer
Megan Thole, the new principal
of Ray Elementary School, spoke
about her vision for the school at
Tuesday night’s local school
council (LSC) meeting.
Thole began by telling the
parents and community members
of Ray, 5631 S. Kimbark Ave., a
little
about
her
personal
background.
The Logan Square resident said
she is from Iowa.
“I’m from a small town that is
somewhat like Hyde Park,” Thole
said. “Because my town was so
small, I was a very involved
student.”
She said she played a variety of
sports and musical instruments and
participated in theater productions
and her school’s student council.
“My town was so small that if
you were there you were a part of
the group,” Thole said. “My
childhood experience is the driving
force of my interest in education.
My experience was positive and I
want to make sure others have that
too.”
Thole said she and the teachers at
Ray worked together in a
professional
development
workshop this summer to come up
with “Four Staff Core Values.”
She’s applying these values along
with a fifth value, “Gratitude,” as a
part of her vision for the school.
• Collaboration — Thole said the
school has strong LSC, Parent
Teacher
Association
and
community involvement.
“We need to harness and focus
our energy in the right direction,”
Thole said. She said positive
meetings where plans accomplish
things for the kids, bringing people
in who can help meet goals and

No trauma care, but trauma counsel
By LINDSAY WELBERS
Staff Writer
While the South Side still does not have
an adult trauma care center, the University
of Chicago Medical Center is helping to
provide counseling for survivors of
violence.
UCMC, Northwestern Medicine and the
United Way of Metropolitan Chicago will
work with Bright Star Church, 735 E. 44th
St., to combat and prevent future violence
by making sure survivors have access to
counseling.
Called The Bronzeville Dream Center, it
will follow a model used by the NATALIsrael Trauma Center.
The pilot will begin in the fall. Organizers
will begin by surveying Bronzeville
residents’ needs and identify health and
behavioral issues that may lead to violence.
Counseling services are expected to
become available in late summer or early
fall of 2015.
“When it comes to violence, the question
becomes, ‘Who is there to counsel the
perpetrators, victims, their families and
friends once the damage is done?’” said the
Rev. Chris Harris, founder of Bright Star
Community Outreach (BSCO) and senior
pastor of Bright Star Church in a
statement.
UCMC and Northwestern each donated
$250,000 for the first two years of data
gathering, implementation, oversight and
evaluation. The United Way will provide
its expertise in scaling, funding
administration and provide access to its
partner organizations.
“The factors behind the prevalence of
urban violence are multifaceted, and
addressing them requires a personalized
and adaptive approach,” Polonsky said.
“This model is drawing from the cultural
and spiritual strengths of communities
plagued by violence and finding solutions
that are tailored to work for them,” UCMC
Executive Vice President for Medical
Affairs Ken Polonsky said in a statement.

teachers collaborating with each other are a
part of this goal.
• Communication — “We have to be
diverse with our approach,” Thole said. “We
have to think about who our students and
families are and figure out the best way to
reach them.”
Weekly teacher and parent newsletter
emails, letters sent home to parents,
clarifying the school’s website and open
house events were mentioned as a part of
this goal.
• Community — Thole said Ray should be
a strong positive community of staff parents
and students. She said courtesy should
become an intrinsic value among the
school’s students so that when 6th graders
come in from other schools they feel
welcome and recognize and adopt the
culture they are coming into.
• Differentiated Instruction — “We have
kids from all different levels and whether
we want to admit it or not there are learning
gaps based on race, socio-economics,
special education needs and grade levels,”
Thole said.
She said Ray received a grant from
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) that allowed
the school to purchase more computers,
laptops and implement literacy and math
programs that teach without showing the
different levels that each student is on.
“The programs allow teachers to make
sure all students get what they need.
Different supports in place to make sure
kids don’t fall through the cracks,” Thole
said.
She said for middle school Ray plans to
prepare its students for selective enrollment
high schools.
Ray parent Cherry Turner asks a question about the integration of 7th and 8th grade
students into the school during the local school council meeting last Tuesday evening.

“We have to add algebra and improve
literacy instruction,” Thole said. “Literacy
is the biggest predictor of student success. I
taught high school for a while and that’s
what held a lot of kids back and it was also
what propelled other students forward to
college.”
During the question and answer session of
the vision meeting Thole answered
questions on several key issues of the
community including parental involvement,
choosing an assistant principal (A.P.), the
possibility of reinstating the Latin Program,
implementing a restorative justice program
and the need for standardized testing.
• Parent Involvement — “Parent
involvement within the school day —
grandparents, aunts, uncles — yes,” Thole
said. She said all volunteers would have to
submit to a background check. It is CPS
policy, she said.
• Assistant Principal — Thole said, “When
choosing an A.P. I will make sure we have a
student-centered,
collaborative,
communicator that represents the diversity
of this community.”
• The Latin program — “Budget wise I
can’t see it returning this year or next year,”
Thole said. “But we do value languages and
will look for ways to reinstate the program.”
• Restorative Justice — “The school
received access to a free coach through CPS,”
Thole said. “The coach will come in five
hours a week to teach teachers restorative
justice practices.” The practices include
peace circles, peer juries and problem solving
through verbal communication.
Standardized Testing (NWEA, PARCC)
— “I think standardized tests are very
important,” Thole said. “They help us
identify where kids need help and support
teachers so they know what to focus on in
the classroom.”

Dortch has worked with the CHPV since its
inception and is a board member. She will
serve as the executive director “pro bono,
temporary and part time,” said Susan Alitto,
president of the CHPV board.
CHPV is an organization that offers help,
advice and referrals to older residents in Hyde
Park who wanted to remain in their homes as
they got older. The organization is a part of a
widespread “village movement,” to support
“aging in place” that started in Boston and
now has almost 150 villages across the
country. Each village is different and reflects
the needs and interests of its community.
Although CHPV has been offering services
such as transportation, drop-in social events

and soup suppers for the past three years, it
will officially open on Nov. 1. A celebration of
the opening will take place at 2:30 p.m., Nov.

Island Ave.
With 13 board members, 50 paid members
and an executive director in place, the village
is ready to open its doors, said Ann Audrain,
board member and treasurer of CHPV.
“We will have a regularly staffed office run
by vetted volunteers at Augustana,” said
Audrain referring to Augustana Lutheran
Church of Hyde Park, 5500 S. Woodlawn Ave.
“People can e-mail us, call the office or come
in.”
Alitto said the volunteers at CHPV will work
to develop a personal relationship with
members.
“We will start by offering the services our
members want and need,” Alitto said. “Then
as we grow we can provide a wider variety of
services.”

Trolley gains momentum
By LINDSAY WELBERS
Staff Writer
The final results from a survey gauging
Hyde Park’s support for a trolley on 53rd
Street said it would be popular in the
neighborhood.
The trolley would be funded by the 53rd
Street Special Service Area, an additional
property tax levied to buildings in a corridor
primarily along 53rd Street between
Woodlawn Avenue and South Hyde Park
Boulevard, and Lake Park Avenue from 51st
to 55th streets.
A survey conducted by the SSA from July
30 through September 11 received 735
responses. Of those, 91 percent said they
were likely to use a free trolley to travel
through the business district and over half
would use it several times a week or more.
Friday and Saturday were the most
popular days projected for use but almost
nobody is willing to wait longer than 15
minutes for it to arrive. Forty one percent of
the survey respondents were under 30 years
old.
The SSA will do a closed trial run in
October, and expect to launch a pilot
program over Thanksgiving weekend.
Running the trolley for 10 hours a day
would cost at least $800 regardless of the
number of passengers. That cost would
make it prohibitive for daily or even weekly
runs.
If the Thanksgiving weekend run is
considered a success, most likely measured
by bringing shoppers to 53rd Street and
Hyde Park’s business district, it may expand
in 2015.

to their status in the community
that may affect their hearts and
minds in a way unlikely ever to be
undone. The effect of this
inequality on their educational
opportunities is a violation of
Brown vs. the Board of Education.
For evil to triumph it only takes a

deserves restoration
Rights impinged of
Dyett students
To the Editor:
A people that does not know its
history is destined to repeat it.
Today, education is perhaps the
most important function of state
and
local
governments. Compulsory school
attendance laws and the great
expenditures for education both
demonstrate our recognition of the
importance of education to our
democratic society. It is required in
the performance of our most basic
public responsibilities, even
service in the armed forces. It is the
very
foundation
of
good
citizenship. Today it is a principal
instrument in awakening the child
to cultural values, in preparing him
for later professional training and
in helping him to adjust normally
to his environment. In these days, it
is doubtful that any child may
reasonably be expected to succeed
in life if he is denied the
opportunity of an education. Such
an opportunity, where the state has
undertaken to provide it, is a right
which must be made available to
all on equal terms.
Does selective enrollment, a
tiered system of education, amount
to segregation of children in public
schools solely on the basis of
income and deprive the children of
the lowest income group of equal
educational opportunities? We
believe that it does.
The selection process is always
conducted according to students’
final point scores. The selection
process starts with the top-scoring
student and proceeds down the list.
This system insures that the lower
performing students go to the
lower performing schools and the
lower performing schools are in
the low-income neighborhoods.
I write this letter on the behalf of
the 13 students at Dyett High
School that have sacrificed so
much to stand up for the rights that
have been illegally taken away
from them: students’ ability to
study, to engage in discussions and
exchange views with other
students, and, in general, to learn
their
profession.
Such
considerations apply with added
force to children in grade and high
schools. To deny them the same
educational opportunities as others
of similar age and qualifications
solely because of their income

Jackson Park. You have heard that the garden is a shrine to
the tremendous contributions made by Imperial Japan to the
World Columbian Exposition of 1893. You want to see it
before you die.
You arrive at the parking lot immediately south of the
Museum of Science and Industry. Your relatives assist you
into your wheel chair for the planned excursion to the
garden, but you can travel only a short distance before you
are stopped by high, chain-link panels bearing a sign
announcing, in huge letters, ROAD CLOSED. Is this
another kind of insult?
Hardy individuals — committed trekkers, birders,
joggers and bicyclists — have pried open the panels
blocking access to the bridge. Physically impaired
individuals are left out.
Since the mid-1880s, the bridge has been crossed by
people traveling by foot, carriage or other vehicular means
from the east “Lake Michigan side” or the west “Stony
Island side.” The bridge was the way to go to get to the
west side of Jackson Park, Wooded Island, the Midway
Plaisance and points beyond. Or it was the way to get to
Lake Michigan, the vast meadow now known as Bobolink
Meadow or the tennis courts or North Harbor. In 1957 it
officially became the Clarence Darrow Bridge in tribute to
Hyde Park’s great trial lawyer. Every March 13, the
anniversary of Darrow’s 1938 death, politicians, historians,
family members and various individuals of liberal bent
gather at the bridge to honor his memory by tossing a
wreath into the lagoon’s friendly waters.
We South Siders rejoice that new pedestrian bridges
across South Lake Shore Drive will open Chicago’s
Lakefront to families and other groups from North
Kenwood, Oakland, and Bronzeville. We all agree,
however, that Jackson Park, so very near Lake Michigan,
should be accessible to all. It would cost $5 million to
restore the Darrow Bridge to its original beauty and
function, far less than the tens of millions of dollars
required for bridge repair and construction over Lake
Shore Drive. An intact Darrow Bridge would complement
the new bridges and complete local access to the great
treasure that is Lake Michigan. It is an investment that
must be made.

A year of culmination and new beginnings at the Club
Staff Writer
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Club’s board of directors
held its annual meeting Thursday night, Sept. 18.
Leadership changes, program growth, space usage,
building upgrades and the club’s 105th anniversary gala
were topics of discussion during the meeting.
Past director Jennifer Bosch received praise from the
board for her work in developing the Hyde Park
Neighborhood Club (HPNC), 5480 S. Kenwood Ave.,
into what it is today.
“[Bosch] helped with the rebranding, signage, facilities
upgrades, playground and bringing the Little Inspirations
and Baby Ph.D. programs,” said Bethany Pickens,
president of the HPNC board of directors. “We wish her
well and thank her for her help and profound efforts.”
Bosch, who came in as the interim in 2008 and moved
into the position permanently for about six years, made
the then-controversial decision to remove the senior
programs from the club and return it to its original
purpose of providing programs for children. She
resigned in July after helping to choose the director of
the HPNC’s Early Childhood Programs, Sara Diwan, as
her successor. Bosch plans to return to her career as a
museum specialist and consultant to cultural
institutions.
Diwan said the past two months as executive director
have been “fun, exciting and a whirlwind.”
Part of that whirlwind was deciding to help the Chicago
Free School with a space emergency. The school was
expected to open at Augustana Lutheran Church of Hyde
Park in September but due to the need for fire code
upgrades the school could not open. A member of the
school contacted the HPNC looking for space about four
days before the beginning of the school year.
Since Sept. 2, the Free School has been using the
building each day until 3 p.m. Then the HPNC’s afterschool programs take place in the building from 3 p.m.
to 6 p.m. Diwan said once the Free School moves to its
permanent location in January, the HPNC will be ready
for a new daytime partner.
“Our goal is to keep this building full all day,” Diwan
said. “The Free School has a four-month lease. Once
their lease is up we’ll begin to test the waters of a
serious space share.”
Several board members agreed that things were
running smoothly with the space share.
Diwan went on to discuss a demographic snapshot of
the program noting that there was an increase in Asian
(15 percent) and Spanish-speaking (5 percent) families.
The data was taken from an optional survey that went
out to all enrollees in the Early Childhood and after
school programs. The club is currently working on a
survey for its teen programs.
“Enrichment and diversity top the list in this report and
that was expected,” Diwan said. “It’s nice to get
numbers to support that.”
Diwan attributes the increase in part to multilingual
staff members at the club.
“People feel more comfortable when someone speaks
their language,” Diwan said.
The club plans to increase international diversity
through Spanish play groups in the Early Childhood
program. Diwan also noted that the summer camp was

almost filled to capacity, with 95 students attending.
Blair Root, director of the out-of-school time programs
at HPNC, said the club’s after-school program currently
has 56 students, which is up 15 percent this year from 45
students last year. She also said the teen summer camp
had 114 kids, which is up 30 percent and participation in
the basketball and junior derby programs also increased.
Those in attendance at the meeting were given a tour
from Director of Development Miriam Sierig. She
revealed places where rugs were covering missing floor
tiles, unsecured doors with loose hinges were being held
together by large bolts and brick walls had welted and
peeling paint due to moisture and humidity.
Although the club has garnered many grants, gifts and
partnerships that have lead to many upgrades and
improvements over the years, there is still more work
that needs to be done according to Sierig.
“We’re trying to get the word out about the program —
people are learning and having fun here. It’s worth

Mad, bad and
dangerous to
know
What: Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”
Where: Lyric Opera, 20 N. Wacker Drive
When: through Oct. 29
Phone: 312-332-2244
By M.L. Rantala
Classical Music Critic
D
on Giovanni” has returned to Lyric
Opera of Chicago in a stunning new
production featuring a Don Juan who
is mad, bad and dangerous to know.
Opening night Saturday offered a revelatory
new production of the opera that launched
Lyric 60 years ago.
Robert Falls, artistic director of the
Goodman Theatre, has assembled a first-rate
creative team — including Walt Spangler
(sets) and Ana Kuzmanic (costumes) — and
together they have created a richly detailed
slice of Spain where the dark recesses of the
world inhabited by a libertine with no
compunction against rape or murder is
emphasized without losing the elements of
humor, love and righteousness animating the
folks left in Giovanni’s wake.
Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who
has performed this role to acclaim around
the world, serves up a coke-snorting, breastgrabbing, kinky Don Giovanni whose
arrogant confidence has but a thin veneer of
charm. This supremely bold characterization
is matched with impeccable singing that
combines elegance and swagger. Kwiecien
conveys not only an unquenchable sexual
appetite but also a profound hunger for
danger.
The Falls view of Leporello — Giovanni’s
servant and enabler — is far less comic than
typically interpreted. Here he has the perfect
singer-actor in Kyle Ketelsen, who shows us
a right-hand man who envies his boss yet
retains enough of his humanity to be
shocked by the excesses. His singing is
polished whether he’s dispatching a rapidflowing passage or a conversational
recitative.
Falls has set his production in 1920s Spain,
allowing Donna Elvira, sung here by
soprano Ana María Martínez, to be decked
out in trousers and boots. She makes her
entrance with a motorcycle, foreshadowing
the fact that she’s going to drive right
through every scheme Giovanni has up his
sleeve. This Elvira has spunk and boundless
energy.
At the heart of this production’s success is
that even though we are in Spain in the years
before the Civil War, the sets are made up of
older, imposing buildings. These connect
the 20th century setting with the 18th
century imagined by Mozart and Da Ponte,
creating a timeless effect, one often
attempted but rarely achieved with the
success seen here. Donna Anna (soprano
Marina Rebeka) emerges from her home in
a long dress we don’t associate with the
Roaring Twenties, and the pain she
experiences upon discovering the body of
her dead father is one which needs no
placement in time to be affecting. Rebeka
inhabits her role with equal amounts of
dignity and anguish and has gorgeous
floating top notes.
Similarly, Zerlina appears in a simple,
long-flowing dress that could pass for attire
of a much earlier time. This peasant is
realized as both innocent and feisty by
soprano Andriana Chuchman.
The two fiancés of this opera often come
off as dull men more affected by their own
injured honor than by the damage Don
Giovanni’s caused to the women they love.
This production finds both men far more
sympathetic. Don Ottavio’s love for Donna
Anna is made clear by tenor Antonio Poli in
heartfelt, heart-melting singing. Michael
Sumuel’s pugnacious yet sullen Masetto is
convincing and attractive.
Bass Andrea Silvestrelli is transformed
into an amazing and unforgettable statue of
the Commendatore for the denouement
where he literally turns the tables on
Giovanni. Silvestrelli has tremendous stage
presence and he sings with the force of both
heavy sculpture as well as moral conviction.
Falls gives him a brief downstage silent
cameo before the final scene, suggesting
that the Commendatore has been looking
down on Giovanni since the moment he was
murdered.
The wonderful singing is enhanced at
every turn with fantastic visuals. Spangler’s
sets are stuffed with glorious beauty and
details. One scene features large hanging
lamps suggesting a Moorish design and
giving off a moody yellow light. Don
Giovanni’s home is surrounded by green
hedges that give every impression they are
creating chlorophyll in abundant quantities:
they look live and real and lovely. The
graveyard is the most striking of its kind I’ve
ever seen on a stage. A brief dance scene has
Rebeka, Martínez and Poli in wildly colorful
costume garb and they have memorable
footwork and hand gestures, thanks to
choreographer August Tye.

Oktoberfest returning to Hyde Park
By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL
Staff Writer
The University of Chicago and South
East Chicago Commission will host an
Oktoberfest celebration from 11 a.m. to 8
p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 4, in Nichols
Park.
For the first time since it began in 2011,
the event will take place on the south end
of Nichols Park, near 55th Street, instead
of on 53rd Street.
“Having it on this end of the park gives
us more space,” Williams said. “And now
that 53rd Street is so congested, it would
be difficult to close 53rd Street for this
particular event.”
Attractions include a beer garden in the
parking lot of Bank Financial, 1354 E.
55th St., blues performances headlined by
harmonica player Billy Branch, a blues
workshop with 200 free first come, first
served harmonicas and a pumpkin patch
organized by the Chicago Park District
with games, crafts and rides.
Admission to Oktoberfest is free. Beer
garden entry is $35 in advance and $45 at
the door. Entry to the pumpkin patch is
free, with a small fee per activity.

energy and excitement. The Lyric Opera
Chorus is splendid, and mute actors and

This is not your father’s “Don Giovanni.”
The emphasis on sex for the sake of sex, the
constant tracing of breasts, the implied
touchings, the bound girl rescued by Donna
Elvira (from who knows what fate), are all
in your face. But Robert Falls is right to do
this: Don Giovanni is not merely a suave
seducer, he’s a heartless amoral who cannot
separate sex from violence, should the latter
be required to slake his desires. This new
production proves that modern practice can
combine with classic opera to create art of
the highest order. This “Don Giovanni”
should not be missed.

“Native Son”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Where: Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Ave.
When: through Oct. 9
Tickets: $45-$65
Phone: 773-753-4472
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
A
ctress Nambi E. Kelley’s 90-minute
adaptation of “Native Son” takes some
striking liberties with Richard Wright’s
seminal 1940 novel, but they pay off
dramatically in Court Theatre and American
Blues Theater’s world premiere, which is
kicking off Court’s 60th anniversary season.
This is the third stage adaptation of the
book — the first was by Orson Welles’
Mercury Theatre in 1941, the second by
Seattle’s Intiman Theatre in 2006 — and
Kelley starts in the middle with “the birth of
Bigger Thomas” (Jerod Haynes), the crucial
murder that sparks the chain of bad
decisions and brutal events that are his
undoing. Before learning about the poverty
and oppression that have turned him into a
petty criminal who hates white people and
even his fellow African Americans out of
fear, we see that he smothers heiress Mary
Dalton (Nora Fiffer) by accident, simply to
avoid being discovered in her room by her
blind mother (Carmen Roman). This image
stays with us throughout the evening.
Then the playwright backtracks to depict
what led up to the fateful incident, but again
her approach isn’t linear. Instead, like many
a movie and television show, she crosscuts
encounters from earlier that day, juxtaposing
scenes of Bigger with his family in their
tenement, at the pool hall with his gang
planning a robbery and at the home of the
wealthy Mr. Dalton (James Leaming), where
he goes to interview for a job as chauffeur.
She also interweaves earlier snippets with
his father, an activist who was killed in a
riot, and of the family being evicted from
their home. And a third thread traces the
course of his first evening on the job, as
Mary has Bigger drive her to pick up her
communist boyfriend, Jan (Jeff Blim), take
them to a restaurant where Black people go,
then drive them to Washington Park, while
they get drunk, try to make friends with him,
and make love in the back seat. The
technique is a little confusing at times but
successfully illuminates connections that
might otherwise go unnoticed.
Kelley’s most striking device is to give
Bigger an alter ego called The Black Rat
(Eric Lynch), echoing the big black rat he
kills in this mother’s apartment early on.
This character both carries the weight of the
narrative and functions as the voice of
Bigger’s internal monologue, allowing us to
get inside his head in an extraordinary way.
The mirror-like relationship of Bigger and
the Black Rat, who reflects back the

negative views that become ingrained, also
highlights central themes, especially the
idea Bigger acts the way he does because he
sees himself as his white oppressors see
him.
The adaptation draws mostly on the first
two parts of the novel — “Fear” and
“Flight” — and very little on the third,
“Fate,” which focuses on Bigger’s trial. The
flight portion depicts Bigger’s downward
spiral as he attempts to extort a ransom from
Mr. Dalton for the “missing” Mary, tries to
frame Jan for her disappearance,

Online assault list sparks debate
By LINDSAY WELBERS
Staff Writer
After an anonymous posting online listing
men who have allegedly committed acts of
sexual violence against students on campus,
the University of Chicago responded by
releasing a statement regarding free speech.
In a letter university President Robert
Zimmer and provost Eric Isaacs released on
Thursday, the school affirmed that the
campus is a place for free expression.
“The nature of rigorous inquiry at the
highest level, in both research and
education, requires an environment that
fosters sustained open discourse. A
commitment to such inquiry as our highest
value has been an essential part of the
University of Chicago’s culture since its
inception,” the letter read.
“Being part of a community in which open
discourse is a fundamental feature of
education and research means subjecting
our own ideas to scrutiny and hearing
competing views — even those we
sometimes find objectionable. As former
University President Robert M. Hutchins
once wrote, the means of addressing ideas
one opposes ‘lies through open discussion
rather than through inhibition and taboo,’” it
said.
It went on to name a committee of
professors who will draft a statement
“reflecting the university’s commitment to
and tolerance of multiple forms of free
expression.”
Students and faculty will have the
opportunity to voice their opinion before a
draft is released by the end of the year.
Geoffrey R. Stone, professor of law, will
act as chair of the committee. Marianne
Bertrand, professor in the Booth School of
Business; Angela Olinto, professor in the
Department
of
Astronomy
and
Astrophysics; Mark Siegler, professor in the
department of Medicine and Surgery; David
A. Strauss, professor of law; Kenneth
Warren, professor in the English department
and Amanda Woodward, professor in the
Department of Psychology, will also sit on
the board.
Jeremy Manier, spokesman for the U. of
C., said Zimmer’s statement and the
committee were planned “well before this
issue arose.”
Late in September a website began listing
the names and classes of men on campus
who, the anonymous posters said, had been
“known to commit varying levels of genderbased violence.”
The website, thehydeparklist.tumblr.com,
was taken down by Monday. It returned
Wednesday morning but was gone by that
afternoon.
Before it was removed again those
responsible for the list said they have plans
to expand it in a Google Doc that will only
be accessible by people with a U. of C.
email address.
“The individuals on the list are individuals
we would warn our friends about, because
of their troubling behavior towards romantic
or sexual partners. Usually, this means
either a pattern of negative/troubling
behavior, or a very significant negative act.
Sexual assault can be one of them, but we
are not claiming that all the individuals on
the list have committed sexual assault,” the

group wrote Wednesday.
In total seven men were listed as either a code red or code
orange, a system that the group said refers to the severity
of the warning, not any legal charges or terminology.
The website did not list any specific accusation or present
any evidence as to why any of the men belonged on the list.
“We realize there are problems. Innocents may get caught
up in this process. However, innocents will be harmed
either way. Someone may be named wrongly, or someone
may continue a pattern of behavior, and end up abusing or
assaulting another individual because they were not
warned. In these cases, there is a conflict between
protecting some individuals (often female) bodies and
protecting some individuals (often male)’s reputation.
Society has tended towards protecting reputation. We
would like to protect bodies,” the creators wrote
Wednesday.
E-mails to the list creators were not returned by Herald
press time.
“The University has been made aware of several
independent websites on which anonymous, unsupported
allegations have been made against University students. In
each case, the University has contacted the operators of
those sites and asked them to remove this content,”
university said in a statement provided by Manier.
“The University is committed to sustaining an academic
community in which all members can participate freely
and fully,” the statement continues. “Part of that is owning
and defending one’s ideas. Anonymous accusations and
commentary do not live up to those values and undermine
full participation. Any threats to personal safety are
unacceptable. Depending on the facts of a case,
anonymous or unsupported accusations, threats, or
damaging commentary made by one student or students
against other students could rise to a disciplinary issue.”
Olivia Ortiz, a U. of C. student who filed a complaint
with the Department of Education about the school after it
mishandled the rape she reported, said the releasing the list
is an severe act, but one that has created discussion among
students.
“I think it’s clearly an extreme act and a very a brave
one,” Ortiz said. “I think it’s very admirable, and I think
these lists are very hard for survivors to produce for fear of
retaliation from abusers.”
Ortiz said the list could better serve its purpose by being
less vague about its meaning or intent.
“I think the general gist of it has really sparked discussion
on campus,” Ortiz said.
Ortiz helped to organize the Phoenix Survivors Alliance,
which created a resource guide for survivors of sexual
assault on campus. It can be found at
phoenixsurvivorsalliance.com.
While Ortiz said it’s too early in the semester to tell if the
university’s changes in the way it handles sexual violence
are working, first-year students during Orientation Week
did receive training about consent, dating, sex, drugs and
alcohol.
The program, called UChoose: Chicago Life Meeting,
uses skits to educate students about sexual violence
prevention. Students also learn about how they can
intervene if they see a situation that could lead to violence,
what resources are available to students and how to
articulate their own personal boundaries.
All new graduate students will also be required to
complete an online course on preventing sexual violence
and outlines university policies, procedures and resources.
The Department of Education Office of Civil Rights
(OCR) announced it was investigating the university for
violations to Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972
to the Civil Rights Act after Ortiz sued last year. Title IX
prohibits sex-based discrimination.
Since the investigation began the university has revised
the way it handles sexual assault cases. It created a position
for a sexual assault dean-on-call; the Bias Response Team,
a team of administrators called in to ensure accusations of
violence are handled fairly and created a centralized
location where students can find resources if they have
been or think they have been the victim of sexual violence,
Resources for Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP).
The process of handling accusations of violence was also
centralized. Previously the accused student’s department
would determine if punishment was necessary and how it
would be administered.

Unitarians present Voodou
By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL
Staff Writer
The Chicago-based Crossing Borders Music Collective
will perform Haitian folk and classical songs at 3 p.m. this
Sunday, Oct. 5, at First Unitarian Church, 5650 S.
Woodlawn Ave.
The program, entitled “The Real Voodou,” has already
been performed six times across the Chicago area. The
Hyde Park show will feature 10 songs performed by a
string quartet, including arrangements by flutist Julio
Racine and a piece by German-Haitian composer Werner
Jaegerhuber.
“For me, it’s really all of Haitian classical music in
general that I find so compelling,” said Tom Clowes,
president of and cellist for Crossing Borders, which
performs compositions from underrepresented cultures.
Clowes has been visiting Haiti regularly since 2000 to
teach music. He said the program was born in part out of his
frustration with perceptions of Haiti.
One of Haiti’s common religious traditions is voodou,
consisting of a set of rituals, offerings and prayers with
West African roots. These practices revolve around a
creator god, Bondye, and are often practiced in
combination with Catholicism. Although some vodouists
practice sorcery, vodou has been negatively portrayed as
satanic.
“It’s a caricature of what it actually is,” Clowes said.
Joan Staples, chair of First Unitarian’s music committee
— which pre-approves the congregation’s musical
programming — said the church seeks to foster cultural
understanding and appreciation. Crossing Borders’
upcoming concert is important, according to her, because
it’s about understanding “a culture which is not only
different but is misunderstood.”
“Both on a spiritual and a musical level, we want to share
these compositions and these approaches with other people,
so that there will be an enjoyment and an understanding of
other cultures,” Staples said.

Budget, wages, ball in ward news
Fifth Ward residents can expect to wait
three more months to find out exactly how
Ald. Leslie Hairston’s (5th) 2014 menu
money is being spent.
Last spring, four groups of residents, one
from each of the ward’s four neighborhoods
— Hyde Park, South Shore, Woodlawn and
Greater Grand Crossing — submitted
recommendations on how to spend $1
million in aldermanic menu money.
Hairston asked that the groups identify
locations in need of
improved lighting and
road resurfacing.
The recommendations
have
since
been
submitted to the Chicago Department of
Transportation by the Fifth Ward office,
according to Hairston, who is waiting on a
receipt.
“When I receive it from the Department of
Transportation, I will present it,” Hairston
said at last Tuesday’s monthly ward
meeting. She said she does not know exactly
when she will receive the information, but
expects it by the end of the year.
“It is when it is provided to me by the
Department of Transportation, because they
are the keepers of the dollars, they are the
ones that execute the contracts, they are the
ones that do the work,” Hairston added.
◆◆◆
Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) reaffirmed her
support for a $15 minimum wage at her
monthly ward meeting last Tuesday.
Hairston lauded Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s
executive order raising the minimum wage
for city contractor employees to $13, and
called an across-the-board minimum wage
increase “long overdue.”
“However,” she added, “I do support the
raising of the minimum wage to 15 [dollars].
And so, throughout the next course of the
couple of weeks and months, you will see
more on that coming up.”
◆◆◆
Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) wants to know
what Fifth Warders like best about their
community.
The Fifth Ward office has posted an online,
multiple-choice survey asking participants
to choose their favorite
community organization,
business,
corporate
sponsor, festival, school,
cafe, pizzeria, bakery and
burger joint.
Top picks will be recognized at an awards
ceremony from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on
Oct. 22, at The Promontory, 5311 S. Lake
Park Ave.
To participate in the survey, visit

A monthly series presented by
the Hyde Park Herald and Susan
O’Connor Davis, author of
“Chicago’s Historic Hyde
Park,” published by University
of Chicago Press.

Legends of the Fall
The series has completed a look at the development of
the major intersections along Lake Park Avenue, and
turned to stories of interest within the Hyde Park and
Kenwood communities. The articles are all of varying
topics, but relate to the residences that currently or in the
past have defined the urban fabric. Additional images for
this article as well as all of the earlier stories are
available on the Hyde Park Herald website; click on the

By SUSAN O’CONNOR DAVIS
The late Bart Giamatti once noted that baseball was a
game designed to break your heart. The “game begins in
the spring, when everything else begins again, and it
blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and
evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops
and leaves you to face the fall all alone,” the
Commissioner commented. “You count on it, rely on it to
buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of
sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days
are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.”
As the nights grow long and the air brisk, autumn ball
marks the impending close of yet another year. Baseball
lots that dot the neighborhood — where leagues like the
Hyde Park-Kenwood Legends teach young boys and girls
the virtues of character and loyalty demonstrated by the
game — grow silent. “Legends” is a perfect name for a
local league, for the community’s association with
America’s pastime goes deeper than one might imagine,
right to the very roots of the game.
Those roots have been the subject of many a paternity
claim and an equal number of legends over the years. A
century ago, Kenwood resident Albert Goodwill Spalding
decided to find a satisfying answer to the question once
and for all. At the turn of the 20th century, the former
Major League Baseball player and sporting-goods
magnate chaired a committee tasked with finding
baseball’s origins.
After several years of searching his panel found its
answer. It came in the form of a 1905 letter typed by one
Known for years as Farmer’s Field, this verdant, tree-lined pasture came to be known as Kenwood Park. The Hyde ParkKenwood Legends baseball diamonds now occupy the portion where cows once grazed.
Chicago Daily News
Abner Graves, proclaiming that a young Abner Doubleday
— later a Civil War general — had invented baseball in
Cooperstown, New York. Graves placed this spurt of
creativity sometime around 1839, but couldn’t remember
the date exactly. However, in a follow-up letter Graves
improved his tale, saying he had been playing marbles
with Doubleday the day he sketched a plan of a ball field
in the dirt.
Doubleday died more than a decade before Graves wrote
his letter, and there was no evidence he had ever played
baseball or had even been to Cooperstown. And, at age
twenty in 1839, Doubleday was well past the playing
marbles stage of life. But with Graves’ somewhat faulty
testimony and the support of Albert Goodwill Spalding’s
blue-ribbon panel, Abner Doubleday became known as
the father of baseball.
Clearly the dark haired, mustachioed Spalding was an
interesting and ambitious fellow, and his Woodlawn
Avenue house reflected his personality. He began his
career in Rockford in 1867, and while visiting there the
founder of the Boston Red Stockings recognized talent
and recruited the young Spalding. He played with the east
coast team for five years before returning to Chicago to
join the White Stockings. Here he went on to manage the
team, and in 1876 pitched 47 games as the team won the
Albert and Josephine Spalding’s enchanting house at 4926
S. Woodlawn Ave., as it appeared in an image from a
collection of photographs taken about 1890 entitled
“Picturesque Kenwood.” The architect of their residence is
not known; however it was erected about 1885 and
demolished 30 years later for the house designed by
Marshall & Fox that now occupies the site.
University of Chicago Special Collections
first ever National League Pennant. Although still young,
Spalding retired from playing the game to concentrate on
a sporting goods store founded with his brother. A.G.
Spalding & Bros. obtained the rights to produce the
official National League baseball, which they
manufactured for the next hundred years.
We are able get a brief glimpse inside the Spaldings’
now demolished house thanks to a collection of images
discovered in 2001, found wrapped in newspapers in the
Architecture Library of the University of Melbourne.
Spalding filled his house with the trappings of success,
and this and other photographs collected by Australian
architect Edward George Kilburn during his 1889 tour of
the United States and Europe, provided examples of
residences that came to influence Australian architects.
Baseball mania had come to Hyde Park — the Herald
ran “Base-ball Notes” during the summer months, nestled
among stories of tennis tournaments and pigeon shooting.
In June of 1884 the pages came alive with games where
thunderstorms interrupted play in the last inning (Hyde
Park won when the drops stopped, 16-10), and where
Blacks and whites played on separate teams, yet within
the same league (“The ‘Unknowns,’ a colored nine,
defeated Pullman…with an inning to spare.”) Games
were often played on the “Boulevard grounds” at the
corner of 41st Street and Drexel Boulevard where 200
spectators would gather to cheer — as large a crowd as
would attend games between the nationally organized
Chicago and Baltimore Union teams.
Spalding’s retirement from baseball was short-lived; by
1882 he returned to the National League as president and
owner of the Chicago White Stockings. That same year, a
young man named Charles A. Comiskey became a
professional ball player with the St. Louis Browns, and
eventually bought a team. The success of these teams
attracted many competitors, and in 1894 Comiskey
became involved in the founding of a new Western
League. In 1901 the Western League became the
American League, as baseball became enormously
popular and increasingly lucrative. Despite intense
opposition from the White Stockings, that year Comiskey
moved his team to Chicago’s South Side where he built a
wooden grandstand on the grounds of the old Chicago
Cricket Club at 39th and Princeton streets. When
Spalding’s White Stockings changed their name to the
Cubs, Comiskey decided to use their old name. In 1908
Comiskey purchased property four blocks north for
construction of a baseball field, while the Cubs eventually
moved from their field on the near-West Side to the North
Side of the city.
Before long, Hyde Park’s association with baseball and
Chicago’s two rival Major League teams became even

more interesting. The National Register of
Historic Places referred to the dashing
architect Zachary Taylor Davis as the
“Frank Lloyd Wright of baseball.” A
graduate of the Armour Institute and
trained in the offices of famed architects
Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan, Davis
worked on North Dearborn Street after
partnering with his brother in 1900.
Locally he designed apartments such as
the three now-demolished buildings
pictured here on Cornell Avenue just north
of 53rd Street, as well as Saint Ambrose
Church on 47th Street where he was a
parishioner. Davis lived in Kenwood; his
residence at 951 E. 45th St. has been
demolished.
How Charles Comiskey came to know
Davis is not clear, but he commissioned
the architect to design a new facility for
the Sox team. On a 14-acre site of a former
cabbage farm and city dump, a kite-shaped
baseball park took form. The exterior was
noted for the sloping Romanesque
archways built of common red brick,
which made the park blend in with the
surrounding working class neighborhood.
Comiskey wanted a pitcher’s park, and
Davis gave it to him. He toured the country
looking at the best and worst of stadiums
with pitcher Ed Walsh. Walsh was with the
Sox between 1904 and 1916, and to this
day holds the best record in Major League
Baseball history — a 1.82 Earned Run
Average. The park’s imposing field
dimensions (362 feet to the left and right
fields, and 420 feet to centerfield) were no
doubt due to Walsh’s input, and he must
have loved hurling balls there.
As to the architecture surrounding that
pitcher’s paradise, Davis was one of the
first architects to use steel beam and
concrete construction for a stadium. He
later took his expertise to the design of the
home of the Sox hometown rival, the
Cubs. Davis was the architect of
Weeghman Park (now Wrigley Field),
originally built for the 1914 Federal
League Chicago Whales.
Around this time another businessman
associated with baseball moved to the
neighborhood. In 1910 architect Howard
van Doren Shaw designed a magnificent
Tudor Revival estate for Thomas E.
Wilson, the head of the Wilson Packing
Company, and the estate clearly reflects
his success. Wilson was also the founder
of Wilson Sporting Goods, which
manufactured the pinstriped flannel
uniforms both for the White Sox and the
Cubs.
By the time scandal rocked the game of
baseball, the Hyde Park landscape was
transformed by the erection of large
apartment hotels along the lakefront. Two
in particular, the Sisson and the CooperCarleton (now the Del Prado), have a long
association with the game, hosting visiting
American League teams when they were
in town to play the Chicago White Sox.
For a short time the Cooper-Carleton was
home to Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis,
the first commissioner of baseball. Landis
was a U.S. district court judge who
presided over some of the most famous
trials of the early years of the 20th century.
Elected in 1920 as baseball’s first
commissioner, he immediately had to deal
with the aftermath of the 1919 Chicago
“Black Sox” scandal, and permanently
banned eight team members for throwing
the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds.
While credited with restoring integrity to
the game, Landis is also remembered for a
different way baseball broke hearts —
racial segregation. African American
players were not allowed to stay in the
hotel Landis once called home.
In the ’20s and ’30s entertainment played
a significant role in social life. Of all of the
spectator sports, baseball was at the time
the most popular. Attendance records at
the parks were broken, while many others
listened to baseball’s exploits on the radios
in their living rooms — Babe Ruth calling
his 1932 World Series home run against
the Chicago Cubs, and the first All-Star
game in Comiskey’s park the following
year.
When Comiskey died in ’31, his eldest
son took over the reins of the last-place
team; they finished the season 51 games
out of first place. The 300-pound Lou
Comiskey was superstitious — he added
stripes to the team’s socks in an attempt to
shake off the bad luck. They lost even
more games the next season. Lou was also
