Professional Staff Congress[edit]

The Professional Staff Congress (PSC-CUNY) is the labor union that represents the faculty and staff of the City University of New York (CUNY). PSC-CUNY bargains with CUNY administration to form a contract covering terms of employment, such as salary and wages, appointments, benefits, and the grievance process.

PSC-CUNY is a chapter (Local 2334) of the American Federation of Teachers. It is affiliated with the American Association of University Professors and the New York State United Teachers. It is also an affiliate of the Working Families Party.[2]

PSC-CUNY was formed when two different labor unions at CUNY, the Legislative Conference and the United Federation of College Teachers, merged in April 1972.[3] The first contract was ratified in October 1973.[4]

Union demands have ranged from lowering the dropout rate (1972)[5] to increasing pay for adjunct instructors.[6] Although public employees are barred from striking in New York state under the Taylor Law, PSC-CUNY threatened to strike twice: first in 1973 and again in 2016, over stalled contract negotiations.[7] The union also endorses political candidates, including Bill de Blasio for mayor of New York City.[8]

Oilspot and Lipstick[edit]

Oilspot and Lipstick was the Walt Disney animation studio's first fully computer-animated short film. It debuted at the 1987 SIGGRAPH Conference.[1]

A Los Angeles Times review noted that the short "marked the Walt Disney studio's belated debut in computer character animation. ... Although some of the movements were obviously borrowed from Lady and the Tramp and Fantasia, director Mike Cedeno and his talented crew display considerable promise in a field too often devoid of humor."[2]

Computer Animation Production System

The film was shown around the country, including at 1988 at the NCGA Video Showcase in Anaheim, CA,[3] and the 20th Tourney of Animation.[4]

Davis is credited with the concept of the experimental film, in which two junkyard dogs fall in love and are menaced by a monster made of junk.[5]

Ann Derrickson[edit]

"[William] Cruise, proprietor of a grocery-store at No. 28 Thomas Street, was arraigned yesterday before Coroner COLLIN, and by that official committed to the Tombs to answer for causing the death of Mrs. Ann Derrickson, a white woman, on Wednesday, July 15, the third day of the riots. From this testimony it appears that the deceased was the wife of a colored man. On the day above named, it is allege that Cruise and other rioters seized a son of deceased a lad of about 12 years, saturated his clothes' and hair with camp[???]ene, and then procured a rope, fastened one end to a lamp-post, and were about to set him on fire, and hang him by the neck to the post, when they were interfered with by some citizens, and by the Police of the First Ward and their diabolical attempt at murder was frustrated. It was while Mrs. Derrickson was attempting to save the life of her son that she was horribly bruised and beaten with a cart rung in the hands of CRUISE. The victim, after lingering three or four weeks, died from the effects of the injuries received at the hands of the prisoner."[6]

"Rioters burned the home of Abby Hopper Gibbons, prison reformer and daughter of abolitionist Isaac Hopper. They also attacked white 'amalgamationists,' such as Ann Derrickson and Ann Martin, two women who were married to black men ..."[7]
