Veterans call for more women-specific resources NICOLE BOYD copy editor

Women veterans are more likely to experience unique challenges such as infertility and military sexual trauma, but often have difficulty finding resources specifically for them. Yasin Jackson, an Army veteran and program coordinator for Veterans Upward Bound, said one of the biggest resources women veterans need is infertility treatments, but that it seems to be a conversation no one other than female veterans wants to have. “People talk about sexual trauma and PTSD, and those things are very important, but they are not the biggest issue among female veterans: it’s actually infertility. All the things that we’re exposed to, even the symptomless soldier that’s doing admin work, is still exposed to lots of other contaminants just in training. Those like myself, or a CBRN officer, stands for Chemical Biological Radioactive Nuclear officer, just [in] the training you’re exposed to gases and chemicals that would make your average person infertile,” Jackson said. Jackson said infertility services are very limited for women veterans, and it is difficult to get treatment from the Department of Veterans Affairs. “The system is set up to where it’s nearly impossible to prove it, but the numbers of infertility among women veterans make it so that there is no other reason for all of us to be infertile or have infertility issues other than our service,” Jackson said. Amanda Depew, an Air Force veteran and graduate student in social work from Centralia, Illinois, said the VA doesn’t offer a lot of the specific health care that women need, such as mam-

mograms. While she said some offer women’s clinics, those clinics usually cannot be found in rural areas. “As we continue to farm out processes and procedures that can easily be done in the VA, that’s costing money. The VA wants to privatize their health care anyway … but it is a big deal when we don’t know anywhere else to go, when VA health care is our only insurance,” Depew said. Depew said in regard to military sexual trauma, the Depart-

ment of Defense only acknowledged the definition of military sexual assault within the last 10 years, and does not acknowledge sexual harassment as sexual trauma, whereas the VA does. Depew also said generally, the higher the rank, the less women will be in that rank, but higher-ranking positions have the authority to carry out the punishment for offenses such as sexual assault. While the military has judge advocate generals, who have law degrees and can

determine whether or not someone has committed an offense and what the punishment should be, commanders can determine whether or not to administer that punishment. “Let’s say she actually has the gall to report [an assault] … does the rape testing if that’s required or if necessary, and then it starts going through the process of, ‘Are we going to punish this person for assaulting this other person?’ The JAG will follow the law and [say], ‘Yes, this per-

son should be punished and this is what the regulations say the punishment should be for that.’ Now the commander can decide whether or not to actually punish said person,” Depew said. “So he can go against what someone with a law degree has said should be done. The commander has the command authority to say, ‘Yes, let’s punish this person,’ or, ‘No,’ and there’ll be some sort of crazy stupid stipulation as to why not.” see VETERANS on page 3

Anthropology group finishes multiple year long excavation in Missouri KRISTINA JOHNSON sports editor

Almost three years ago anthropology Assistant Professor Corey Ragsdale and a team of his students began the process of excavating a buried cemetery from the 1850s — which they finished in early June. In 2018, Ragsdale said a retired teacher from a Missouri school district reached out to SIUE’s anthropology department for help in identifying and preserving the remains of a local cemetery, which had been vandalized and buried with greenery. “To contract outside [help] can be really expensive and the school district didn’t really have any money,” Ragsdale said. “I said we can do all these things and let me bring some students out there for a day and we’ll check it out.” Each year, Ragsdale said his mortuary archaeology class gets in-the-field experience with uncovering potential archaeo-

logical items — some of which are artificial with plastic skeletons and others can be human remains. “In mortuary archeology we do a lot of work with cemeteries — finding cemeteries, mapping and documenting, preserving and in some cases even recovering human remains when they are in danger or when they need to be removed,” Ragsdale said. After going out to check on the site, Ragsdale said the cemetery would need weeks of work and he wasn’t able to dedicate time for the project at the time. Every year since, he and a team of anthropology students have gone out to work on the site. Anthropology graduate and field assistant Megan Walsh, of Toledo, Illinois, has been part of Ragsdale’s class as a student and now as his field assistant. She said the requirement for anthropology students to have experiential learning in the field was a boost for her future in graduate school @alestlelive

applications. “It’s almost unheard of for an undergraduate to have any sort of excavation or field school [experience] without going out of the country and spending thousands of dollars,” Walsh said. “SIUE making it a requirement for me to graduate and then me being able to talk about that in interviews was super huge for me. I had six weeks in the field and then working with Dr. Ragsdale for these weeks has made me way more experienced than other applicants.” When it comes to participating in the field, Ragsdale said having eight students to look over at an excavation site can become difficult — especially when students uncover potential artifacts — so having Walsh as his field assistant, who has been previously trained, helped a long way. “Being a field assistant means I’m Dr. Ragsdale’s second hand, which means I do a lot of sitting and observing, answering @Online Editor Alestle

@thealestle

questions,” Walsh said. “When you are on an archaeological site you fill up a bucket of dirt and sometimes small artifacts are missed when you’re troweling or shoveling. We pour [the dirt] through a mesh screen and shake the dirt through. Anything that’s left could potentially be an artifact.” Each person participating in the excavation site can have different jobs. For anthropology senior Nicholas Marsh of Troy, Illinois, his main focus was researching and testing samples which other students or himself took. “Our tasks we have each day can change,” Marsh said. “It could be screening the dirt coming out from the people excavating, using shovels to level the trenches or troweling to look at the soil profiles to look for any defects. There’s a lot of mapping as well — using a stadia rod see EXCAVATION on page 3

BazaArt and Chalk It Up To Art exceed expectations BRANDON WELLS reporter

Saturday’s BazaArt and Chalk It Up To Art event delivered a variety of art forms and different personalities to draw in crowds with its chalk art and art vendors. Starting on a hot morning, the event grew as many people shopping at the nearby Vine Street Market came to the event to see what it had to offer. Cory Hollerbach, co-owner of Art Gecko Creative Studio and one of the hosts of the event, said she felt the day had been more successful and exciting than

she originally thought. “It was well over my expectations. We knew it was going to be a big turnout, but the city came out in full force and supported this event — the parking lot was covered this morning, it was awesome,” Hollerbach said. Sarah Burton, City of O’Fallon horticulturist and Vine Street Market coordinator, said she particularly enjoyed the early morning when the Vine Street Market was in full swing with people visiting the event. “This morning, the Vine Street Market and Chalk It Up To Art have been awesome — there were some fabulous chalk

art pieces. People were dancing, eating, drinking and having a really good time,” Burton said. After looking at all the different art pieces throughout the day, Burton said some of her favorites were the chalk art people had done that morning. “There was a girl over there that was drawing a dragon and it was really cool, and it was her first time [drawing on chalk] and I thought, ‘Wow, she really did an awesome job for it being her first time drawing in that medium,’” Burton said. By the end of Chalk It Up To Art, Hollerbach said a total of 27 artists participated in the contest. At the BazaArt art festival part of the event, Burton said seeing all of the different artists and their work was something she enjoyed. “It has been great to meet all of these artists. There are a lot of new people that I have not met before, so it’s always good to see new art,” Burton said. SIUE alumnus Jim Linksvayer said he brought many of his pottery pieces to sell to keep doing the art that he enjoys. “The day has gone wonderfully. I’ve met a lot of new people, I have some great neighbors, and I’m looking forward to [the rest of the day and look forward to] hopefully repeating it next year,” Linksvayer said. Shawn Bates, owner of Burnt Bottom Creations wood art business, said the weather was one of the only concerns he had, but otherwise the event turned out well for him. “The setup and working with the team and getting organized was great. The weather

has been less than spectacular, but I’ve prepared for the wind,” Bates said. Bates also brought some of his equipment to the event and said he wanted to show people how he makes the wooden bowls he sold at the event. Burton said Bates was one of the artists she looked forward to seeing due to the demonstration he planned offering the unique experience of seeing some of the process of turning wood into a bowl.

Supreme Court orders lower courts to review St. Louis PD use-of-force case DAVID G. SAVAGE Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday told judges to take a second look at the case of a handcuffed man who suffocated and died in a St. Louis jail after officers put their weight on his back as he was lying face down. Lawyers for the man’s parents had urged the high court to take up the case in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and to rule that this police tactic represents an unconstitutional use of excessive force. A federal judge and the 8th Circuit Court had thrown out the parents’ suit and said the “use of prone restraint” is not unreasonable when a detained person continues to resist. Rather than agree to hear the case, the justices set aside the 8th Circuit’s ruling and told its judges to reweigh evidence suggesting the use of force violated the Fourth Amendment. Nicholas Gilbert had been arrested for trespassing in an abandoned building. An officer said that, at one point, he saw the man wrap a piece of clothing around a jail bar, suggesting he might try to commit suicide. As many as six officers then intervened to subdue the man. He “was already handcuffed and leg shackled when officers moved him to the prone position and officers kept him in that position for 15 minutes,” the court said [in] an unsigned order in Lombardo v. St. Lou-

is. Moreover, the evidence “shows that officers placed pressure on Gilbert’s back even though St. Louis instructs its officers that pressing down on the back of a prone subject can cause suffocation.” Three conservatives — Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr., Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch — dissented and accused their colleagues of ducking a ruling on a potentially controversial case. “We have two respectable options: deny review of the factbound question that the case presents or grant the petition, have the case briefed and argued, roll up our sleeves, and decide the real issue,” Alito wrote. “I favor the latter course, but what we should not do is take the easy out that the court has chosen.” The St. Louis case raised the question of whether the officers could be sued and held liable for using force that violated the Fourth Amendment’s ban on an unreasonable seizure. In their appeal in Lombardo v. City of St. Louis, lawyers for the parents asked the court “to decide the constitutionality of a police tactic that has killed hundreds of people and that serves no legitimate purpose.” They told the court that in the past decade “at least 134 people have died in police custody from ‘asphyxia/restraint.’ Most of these deaths occurred in cases sharing features with this one: an unarmed man, suffering from mental illness or influenced by drugs or alcohol, pressed face-down on the ground after being handcuffed, and held

there until he died.” The case began in December of 2015 when Gilbert was arrested on suspicion of trespassing in a condemned building and taken to a holding cell at the jail. At some point, he was seen waving his arms and acting erratically. One officer claimed he saw him tie a piece of clothing to the bars of his cell. Several officers entered the cell to handcuff and subdue Gilbert. A struggle went on for 15 minutes as he thrashed about and officers held him down. They kept doing so even as “he attempted to lift his body up” for air and said, “It hurts,” the lawyers for his parents told the court. The struggle ended when Gilbert stopped breathing. The lawyers said an autopsy showed he had a “fractured sternum,” and a medical report said “the cause of death was forcible restraint inducing asphyxia.” The city’s medical examiner, however, said Gilbert had methamphetamines in his system and that his death was caused by heart disease and drug abuse as well as the forcible restraint. Federal judges, backed by the Supreme Court, have repeatedly thrown out suits seeking to have a jury decide whether police have used excessive force. Sometimes the court has said officers have “qualified immunity” because it is not clear that a constitutional right has been violated. In other instances, as in the St. Louis case, judges ruled the officers did not use unreasonable force.

Hollerbach said the likelihood of the event coming back next year is high due to the community response. “Based on comments from the citizens that came down, the chalk artists themselves and people that are here to support it, I think it’s gonna be a go for next year for sure,” Hollerbach said. “The mayor’s here and we’ve got some aldermen here, so we’ve been talking it up and it sounds like they’re going to be OK with it next year.”

Dental school dean to retire, school prepares for exit BRANDON WELLS reporter

Dean Bruce Rotter of the SIU School of Dental Medicine announced that he is retiring after 28 years of being a dental school faculty member. Rotter is an SIU SDM alumni who graduated in 1982, came back as an assistant professor in 1993 and moved into different positions until he was officially named dean in 2012. Rotter said his retirement has been something he had been thinking about for some time, but chose now due to the position of the school. “We just came off, in 2019, a very successful reaccreditation. Now that we’re past the 18-month period of COVID-19 and things are starting to get back to a normal routine, I just felt like the school was positioned strongly enough that this was the appropriate time to start to look at making administrative changes,” Rotter said. As dean of the SDM, Rotter said he has done many things that he’s proud of, but a few recent accomplishments are things that have stuck with him. “We built a new preclinical lab and we’re just now finishing the construction on an advanced care clinic. We have done some reorganization of our pre-doctoral program which increased our on-time graduation rates significantly, started new post-doctoral programs at the school and in large [we reorganized] some of our existing programs,” Rotter said. Rotter said being the dean of the SDM and helping students have been something he personally sees as an achievement. “Although we are not a large school, I think that over the years we have positioned ourselves as one of the strongest schools. We give a very comprehensive education and our students are very welltrained when they graduate,” Rotter said.

Depew said people who do report an assault often end up losing their job once it’s known that they’ve reported, because they are then seen as the problem rather than the person who did it to them or the people covering it up. “You end up with either a shit detail, you are further harassed, they work on getting you discharged from the service and they work on getting you a discharge that does you no justice once it’s said and done,” Depew said. “You generally lose your benefits due to the way that they write the discharge … the characterization may be something of misconduct, they may actually put a mental disorder, a mental disability written on that page … you have to sometimes use your DD214, which is what this information is on, to apply for a job. That employer now sees that while you had honorable service, you’ve done something to make the military want to label you as such.” Depew said in her career field, which was ammunition systems, she was often the only woman in the shop and had to go to another building to use the restroom. “While that definitely sounds like first world problems, why do they get their own bathroom and I don’t get my own? Why do I have to go seven miles down the road to go to the bathroom?” Depew said. Telisha Reinhardt, a Navy veteran and military and veteran services coordinator, said the Metro East needs more resources for women that are unique to women. She said there are resources out there, but their availability needs to be communicated better. “We’re a university; our office only has so much of a reach. Of course we cannot assist with housing assistance … The biggest thing is more housing assistance for women veterans, and outreach about the things that currently exist. Any organization that you go into is going to be majority used by male veterans,” Reinhardt said. “So how [do we] do the outreach of getting more women involved with the VA and understanding the benefits that they qualify for based on their service? How can the state of Illinois do better outreach and communicate the benefits that women veterans qualify for within the state? These nonprofits, how can they better communicate that?” Reinhardt said SIUE is working to focus on women veterans through panels each semester, affinity groups to provide outreach, resources and social support to veterans of different identity groups and a book club that will discuss the history and politics of different identity groups. “When we think about the history of veterans, it’s usually told through a white male perspective. I always try to remind people, your veteran does not look like Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks and Matt Damon and Tom Cruise … we’re definitely getting away from that white male history of the military, that ‘Band of Brothers,’ ‘Flags of your Fathers,’ and start sharing stories of women who look like me,” Reinhardt said. Jackson said women veterans often lack group camaraderie events, as most veteran social events are male-centric. She said she, along with Depew, started Women Veterans of the St. Louis Area, a Facebook group to fill this gap. “What we end up missing is the social aspect, so just getting together with other like-minded women or women that share our experiences and spend time with them,” Jackson said. “Those events can just be simple social events like lunch or hiking events, or we’re just getting together and doing peer-to-peer counseling. It’s not so formalized and it helps us feel more comfortable about sharing.” Those interested in Women Veterans of the St. Louis Area can visit their page on Facebook.

While a victory, Juneteenth reminds faculty and activists that more needs to be done ALEX AULTMAN editor-in-chief

The designation of Juneteenth as a state and federal holiday has been met with both criticism and praise, leading people to discuss next steps toward racial equity. Assistant professor of political science Timothy Lewis said members of the Black community who said they didn’t ask for Juneteenth to become a holiday are incorrect. “This is exactly what a particular generation of African Americans asked for. Black baby boomers have been advocating for making Juneteenth a national holiday for years, I would dare say decades,” Lewis said. “One activist specifically by name of Opal Lee, who is from Texas … has been advocating for making Juneteenth a national holiday because she feels that many people don’t know that the end of slavery was not the smooth transition that is taught in history books.” Chair of local activist group Empire 13 J.D. Dixon echoed criticism others have made of the holiday being a purely symbolic action. “Even now … you still haven’t had any laws passed that changed anything from before Juneteenth was a federal holiday,” Dixon said. “So we’re still in the same position that we were in before President Biden passed it last Thursday. Nothing’s changed other than this federal holiday, so it’s great, but that’s … not going to bring systemic change to the Black community.” Assistant professor of educational leadership J.T. Snipes said he is worried about the trivialization of Juneteenth. “On the one hand, I am excited to see that this important milestone in American history is being honored on the federal level. There is another part of me that worries about the potential trivialization of it. The same way

that we see Cinco de Mayo, the reflective holiday in which people think about culture in ways that just essentially mock Mexican culture,” Snipes said. “I just worry about there being the same sort of trivialization of [Juneteenth], as opposed to all Americans viewing it as the second founding or the true Fourth of July; the moment where all Americans were made free.” Snipes said he has a complex relationship with Juneteenth because of its bittersweet nature. “For me, Juneteenth was always sort of a strange holiday, where we celebrate in some ways, the maliciousness of slaveholders in succeeding territory,” Snipes said. “I read an article recently where the author talks about how it wasn’t that slaves weren’t aware of the Emancipation Proclamation. I mean, it was that slave owners weren’t going to recognize what the federal government had dictated through the Emancipation Proclamation.” Lewis said he believes both symbolic and substantial policy changes are necessary to move toward racial equity. One of the policies he supported — the Voting Rights Act — failed to pass the Senate. “Poll taxes, literacy tests and other mechanisms [were] put in place to prevent voting [during Jim Crow], and they did not restrict it as if in saying you can’t vote, they just made it so hard to vote that people lost motivation to be politically active in this experiment of democracy,” Lewis said. “And that’s exactly what some of these Republican led legislations are doing at the state level. They’re just making it so hard and so difficult to vote that people will lose the motivation to participate in democracy.” Dixon said policies to rebuild the Black community and its infrastructure, like reparations and 100 percent forgivable home and business loans, are most important to him.

Some attribute the recent attention given to racial inequality to the increased number of protests last year in resonse to police brutality, like the one pictured above. | Alestle File Photo “Systemic racism, all of the race riots, massacres, that [have] happened throughout the years and decades, [have] destroyed the Black community’s infrastructure,” Dixon said. “From the Tulsa Race Massacre, destruction of Black businesses, to East St. Louis 1917 Race Massacre, the Black community hasn’t been able to bounce back from that and from the effects of systemic racism in the laws.” Lewis said the inclusion of white allies is necessary for progress. “One of the biggest ways to move the needle — and this has been since the abolition of slavery — is to include white allies,” Lewis said. “There would never have been the end of slavery without white allies in the North. There

would have never been the end of Jim Crow without white Freedom Riders who rode and died along the side of Black Freedom Riders. So, the inclusion of white allies will be a result of the information that comes out of making Juneteenth a national holiday.” Dixon said Empire 13 collaborates with local organizations of white allies in their Boots to the Streets campaign. “I have reached out and worked with a multitude of organizations, predominately white organizations, grassroot organizations like Waterloo Listens is one and Moms Demand Action,” Dixon said. “In the sense of our cause and our fight right now, allies [are] being there for us, of course, and supporting us in any way they can, standing shoulder

to shoulder and [in] solidarity. We conduct community cleanups to raise awareness of disparities Black communities face due to environmental racism.” Dixon said the visible disparities between East St. Louis, Illinois and predominantly white towns like Belleville, Illinois are due to consequences of environmental racism like the prevalence of burned down buildings, abandoned houses and decaying roads. He said many grocery stores in East St. Louis don’t have fresh produce, and in the stores that do, they are often rotting or warped. Empire 13’s next event is Reparations Now, a march honoring lives lost in the East St. Louis Race Massacre, at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 3 at East St. Louis City Hall.

REVIEW: ‘CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST’ shows Tyler has found his way DALTON BROWN copy editor

Tyler, the Creator’s newest album takes you on a journey around the world and simultaneously hits way too close to home. Tyler Baudelaire, his latest persona, tells a tale woven with some of his most braggadocious and personal lyrics to date, spat relentlessly over instrumentals from a different musical planet. A mysterious billboard with the message “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” and the phone number 1-855-444-8888 appeared in Los Angeles earlier this month. Fans on Twitter had all they needed to put the pieces together — a new Tyler, the Creator album was upon us. In the weeks leading up to the album’s release date of June 25, calling the number would play back a few different unfinished snippets of Tyler’s new music, changing every few days. I found something uniquely personal about hearing Tyler rap in my ear over the phone; it was like he left me a voicemail about world travel, cars, clothes and love triangles. The album is “hosted” by DJ Drama, a DJ from Philadelphia who’s contributed to historic mixtapes from the likes of Lil Wayne and Pharrell Williams and is considered a staple by many in the hip-hop community. Drama yells colorful commentary and

ad-libs throughout most of the album, which some fans on Twitter have found annoying, but I found to be a nice touch — on this album, Tyler is spitting way too hard for there not to be a dedicated hype man behind him. The end result is something refreshingly new, but unmistakably Tyler, as the album takes us through a few musical movements. The opening track, “SIR BAUDELAIRE,” sounds like you’re setting sail to go see the world. Then, there’s an aggressive streak from “CORSO” to “LEMONHEAD” that lets us know Tyler isn’t playing around. The tone switches on the softer-hearted track “WUSYANAME,” containing the most surprisingly melodic NBA YoungBoy feature I’ve ever heard. This song introduces Baudelaire’s love interest, a woman he meets on his travels but later learns is already dating a friend of his, information which doesn’t stop his pursuit of her. Then, the aggression returns on “LUMBERJACK,” the first single teased from this album. It sounds like sluggish tension held together by Tyler’s unimpressed tone and some of the album’s most dramatic hype man yelling. This is in stark contrast to the next track, “HOT WIND BLOWS,” which sounds like Tyler and Lil Wayne having a best-verse competition over a chill, flute-led sound-

scape of jazz. Political messaging lines the tracks “MASSA” and “MANIFESTO” before the vibe changes abruptly with “SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE,” a nearly 10-minute love ballad in two parts (the latter half of which sees Tyler’s production dip into some reggae rhythms). This is easily my least favorite track on the album — suffering mostly from poor execution and lack of proper context, Tyler misses more than a few notes in his desperate attempts to sing the first half and I think the overall result sounds totally out of place within this album. The track “JUGGERNAUT” sounds pretty chill for the first 20 seconds, then sounds like you’re swinging fists on someone in outer space for the remaining two minutes. This is the type of music you play right before you’re about to fight someone, and Tyler’s aggression seems to reach a peak both instrumentally and vocally. “WILSHIRE” is Tyler venting and storytelling for eight minutes straight, but he’s not rambling — he genuinely has something to say the entire time, and some of the lyrics will cut deep if you’ve ever been in a similar relationship situation. While there’s certainly more I could say about each individual track, reading words about this album only goes so far. “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST” is so-

Student group helps design sustainable water system solutions in Guatemala DANA MCLENNAN copy editor

The Mustard Seed Peace Project Club, is a group of students dedicated to providing access to clean water solutions and currently helping to design and then help build latrines and handwashing stations in Las Mojarras, Guatemala. According to the CDC, over 785 million people lack access to water, more than 800 million people don’t have safe drinking water and about 25 percent of the world does not have access to basic sanitation methods. People without access to clean water face developmental problems, disease, lack of crops and livestock and means to support themselves, creating a cycle of poverty that is hard to break. Elizabeth Bourgeois, an engineering graduate student from Waterloo, Illinois, is president of the Mustard Seed Peace Project Club. She said she joined the club in 2019 while trying to find a group that fit for her, and fell into the role of president after others in the group graduated because she loves helping people. She is now looking forward to the possibility of their group traveling to Las Mojarras, Guatemala, this December, after their trip was canceled last year due to the pandemic, she said. Bourgeois said projects differ between the Mustard Seed Peace Project nonprofit organization in Godfrey, Illinois, and the student club, but the focus is the same. “We go to different communities, but all of these communities are impoverished communities that need help … with sanitation and education,” Bourgeois said. “Those areas [Virginia, San Alfonso and Las Mojarras] are very rural communities. They are that way because there was a civil war and refugees fled to Guatemala and they got [pieces] of poor land that Guatemala was able to give. This land wasn’t the best for water or growing crops … so as these communities have grown, they’ve grown on land that is not the best, which has led to issues.” Bourgeois said the focus on sanitation access is most important because gastrointestinal illness is prevalent in those areas where residents are lacking clean water and the ability to wash their hands.

“The student club has only worked on latrines because we are primarily an engineering organization,” Bourgeois said. “The [Mustard Seed organization], they have a water project that the student club is helping with. The water project has to do with wells, latrines, hand washing stations, trying to get clean water to the communities as well as helping sanitation.” Bourgeois said while some of the members are engineering students who design plans for the latrines and wells, not all students interested in the club have to have that background. “We have a foreign language student, education students, anthropology, all sorts, because anyone is welcome, anyone can travel, anyone can fundraise. It’s all going towards the same thing, which is helping those communities. Everyone is welcome,” Bourgeois said. The student club was formed in 2018 to fill a need after the student chapter of Engineers Without Borders was disbanded. Those students had previously helped Mustard Seed Peace Project founder, Terri Cranmer, of Godfrey, Illinois, with projects in the past. Cranmer said students are overseen by a mentor group of engineers, including engineers from Boeing. Safeta Grozdanic, a senior biology student from St. Louis and secretary for the campus club said she joined after her best friend, who is also Bourgeois’ sister, told her what they were doing. “She introduced me into the club and just kind of basically told me what they’re about and how we could help people in South America get clean water and latrines and how we could possibly be traveling over there to be building them and designing them as well,” Grozdanic said. “And it all sounded really interesting and it sounded like a great cause. I really wanted to get involved.” Cranmer said after attending a mission trip with friends to Guatemala in 2004, she knew she had found what she wanted to do. A stay-at-home mom at the time, Cranmer said she began working on building a nonprofit group — by 2005, everything she was working toward really took off and she reached out to SIUE. “From the very beginning, it was very

important that I share this with as many people as possible. I decided that maybe one of the ways to do that would be to provide people with the opportunity to have an international experience … and that kind of led me into the direction of the students,” Cranmer said. “It was just as important to provide that opportunity for the students to travel there — or even if they don’t get to travel, they have the experience of working on or working to develop a project in a foreign country.” Cranmer said she has had students from SIUE, SIUC, Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, and Lewis and Clark Community College travel on different trips all providing different backgrounds of education. Students’ educational backgrounds have ranged from Spanish speaking, nurses, engineers and others who just want to help in any way they can, she said, because they do more than just provide clean water options. “Our real focus is public health, education and community development. So, it’s very broad [and] a lot of things fall under that scope. We currently have a well project going in Virginia, Guatemala,” Cranmer said. “We have the students at SIUE who [are] working with us on the hand washing stations and latrines for Las Mojarras.” Cranmer said their projects are community led, which means that communities tell them what their needs are and with the help of community leaders, organizations and the residents, the nonprofit helps to fill those needs. She said she is currently planning for an educational conference that will help assist educators and schools in these communities in filling the needs of students. “It’s important for me to get input from the communities on what they feel works, and what they would like to see us do differently,” Cranmer said. “My job requires a lot of relationship building. I really like that, it’s fun. I would say 50 percent of what I do is relationship building, you know, connecting people and projects.” Nathan Buecher, a senior computer engineering major from Fairview Heights, Illinois, and vice president of the club said students are also building some of the la-

trines, not just designing them. The most important aspect though is the long-term sustainable impact on residents, he said. “Ideally, [we build] one set of two dry latrines and one set of two composting latrines. Then we want to leave the community with design guides and other resources and they work with us building on those two latrines, so they have the means to build more,” Buecher said. Beucher, who also serves as a project lead between the students and engineers, said the volunteer engineers who mentor the student group work with them every step of the way to ensure that their plans fit the needs of the community. “[The dry latrine, the composting latrine and the handwashing station will] go through their own design process, which will be structural integrity, estimating waste quantities based on the population and the time it’s going to be in use, if it’s going to be big enough,” Buecher said. “Similar things for the hand washing station, if it’s going hold enough water because it’s currently collecting from rainwater … So based on the frequency of rain, is it going to get them through? Those are a lot of your initial considerations.” Bourgeois, who has become a board member of the founding organization, said she hopes to continue on after graduating in 2022 in some capacity with the students. “I think I’ll be a part of this organization for a long time. It means a lot to me, because no one in [the] Mustard Seed organization is doing it for any personal reasons, it is just to help others and to spread a little bit more good into the world,” Bourgeois said. “I don’t want to stop. I want to help as much as I possibly can. I’m hoping that as I get older, I can help young students in the future travel and help others, too.” Cranmer said donations of school supplies and basic medical supplies, such as bandages, are always welcome.

The World Health Organization’s guidance on alcohol consumption targets women, excludes men THE ALESTLE STAFF editorial board

The World Health Organization faces accusations of sexism after releasing the first draft of their global action plan on alcohol that explicitly avoids looking at how alcohol can affect men when trying to conceive a child. “A p p r o p r i a t e a t t e n t i o n should be given to prevention of the initiation of drinking among children and adolescents, prevention of drinking among pregnant women and women of childbearing age,” the WHO states in its global action plan on alcohol. The WHO’s wording is problematic — while likely unintentional, it has received backlash from numerous organizations.

It’s no secret that a lot of people like to have the occasional drink, and something like that should not be discouraged based on the biological capacity to have a child. Women can and should be able to drink when they want unless it might negatively affect someone else, and unless they’re planning to get pregnant, it’s not the WHO’s business whether they drink or not. But the term “childbearing age’’ itself leaves too many questions due to the difference of fertility in each woman. Women tend to have average peak fertility rates in their late teenage years and mid-forties, but that doesn’t necessarily mean before or after those ages that women can’t get pregnant.

The advice seemingly implies that women are meant only for bearing a child at some point, but many women wait until later, and some don’t want children at all. The advice itself is limited to women and children, and while pregnant women should obviously avoid alcohol, not every woman wants to get pregnant. Yet again, people are left to ask: What about men? Where is the advice for men? There are different causes for low sperm count in men, including alcohol, drug use and even jobs that require a lot of sitting, but the WHO decided to not insist on giving “appropriate attention” to men. The WHO advice conveniently leaves men out of the

issue, yet men have issues when consuming alcohol too. Anyone who consumes alcohol takes some sort of risk in doing so. Women being “prevented” from drinking is wording too broad to define, yet it is the word they chose, making it seem like they might enforce something regardless of whether they will or not. We at The Alestle believe that women know the dangers of drinking alcohol while pregnant, and this idea that women should always anticipate pregnancy is ridiculous. It’s not a woman’s job to get pregnant as soon as possible, so it’s not their job to avoid alcohol while they’re young just because they have the ability to become pregnant.

Herbalife nutrition isn’t nutritional, it’s another pyramid scheme KRISTINA JOHNSON sports editor

Having a balanced and nutritious diet is different for everyone, so when Herbalife says their products can help everyone lose weight, don’t believe them. Herbalife Nutrition is a billion-dollar company which provides their products to independent distributors, or people who buy into the company, which are then sold in stores owned or operated by the individuals. Their most advertised products include meal replacement shakes and energizing teas and their products target overall weight loss. The company boasts themselves by sponsoring people around the world who represent their brand throughout multiple platforms, the most notable per-

son being Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. Even if these athletes are the face of the company, the majority of people indulging in their products aren’t in top shape like these athletes. This promotes a negative image for those who are working out and consuming Herbalife products, yet not seeing the same results at Ronaldo. During the pandemic, there was a TikTok floating around of people talking about the randomness of these nutrition shops popping up around their towns. In Glen Carbon, that shop is 618 Nutrition & Energy. The shop which opened in Feb. 2021, is owned by independent distributors selling Herbalife products. They market their products to everyone, and often have deals to draw new customers in. In an ef-

fort to get more customers in the door, these businesses advertise on various platforms and have the help of existing customers posting about their products on their private accounts. On 618 Nutrition & Energy’s Instagram, they post to remind their customers about emails which are waiting to be read in their inboxes. The downsides of their products include people believing they will lose weight from drinking their meal replacement shakes alone. I think by now we all should know losing weight is a combination of eating well and exercise. According to WebMD, losing weight includes eating foods that will keep you full throughout the day — this includes protein-rich foods. Registered dietitian Erica Julson rated the Herbalife diet 1.79 out of 5 points. Some of the

downsides she mentioned with their products are their shakes being heavily processed, expensive to purchase, potentially increasing hunger and their diets aren’t set up for everyone to succeed. I’ve heard time and time again that not every diet works for every person, so I find it hard to believe these products can live up to their claims. While they may be convenient for those on the go and without much time to cook meals during the day, I don’t believe meal replacement shakes are good to use for the long run. There are plenty of other ways you can cook yourself a quick meal or meal prep in a shorter amount of time if that is an issue for you. Before you consider buying into their products, do your research on what you are putting in your body.

Wrestler takes the NWCA Scholar All-American award BRANDON WELLS reporter

Of the 191 student-athletes throughout the country to receive the National Wrestling Coaches Administration Scholar All American Award, Redshirt sophomore Saul Ervin of Morganfield, Kentucky, is one of them. Coming from a larger family, Ervin said wrestling was something he became interested in after growing up watching wrestling with his brothers. He said wrestling was something he enjoys because of how much he’s able to keep improving and how many friends he’s made over the years. “There’s always something you can work on and get better at, and that’s one of my favorite things about wrestling,” Ervin said. “Some of my best friends now are from the wrestling team.” Upon winning the award, Ervin said he felt honored to be given the opportunity to see his hard work pay off. He said this puts him one step closer to his goals. “I have two goals — one is to be a physical therapist or chiropractor one day. My other main goal is to be the All-American national champ — [to accomplish] those two things, you have to

prioritize and make time and I think I made those two goals a passion of mine,” Ervin said. Head Wrestling Coach Jeremy Spates said he believes Ervin has done well throughout the time he’s been his coach. He said recently he’s done especially well. “Over the offseason last year, he did a good job of closing the gap and fixing the little things that he was getting wrong. Last year he had a really great record and ended up being a national qualifier. We’re pretty excited about where he’s at on the wrestling aspect,” Spates said. Spates said he has known the Ervin family for many years with other members of the family wrestling at SIUE in past years. “His dad, uncle and one of his brothers — a bunch of family, have wrestled at SIUE in the past and I started doing camps for [the Ervin family] years ago,” Spates said. Spates said this year marks the third consecutive year that SIUE has had one of its wrestlers win the NWCA Scholar All-American Award. “It’s always fun when we see our guys getting awards. A lot of these guys have gotten awards on the athletic side, but when they can [see] their hard work in the classroom paying off and them be-

Senior Kevin Gschwendtner of Pontiac, Illinois, is also a member of the wrestling team and said he thinks Ervin is a hard worker and an especially good wrestler. “When he’s off the mat he’s very nice, and when he’s on the mat, he wants to tear your head off,” Gschwendtner said. When he heard the news,

Gschwendtner said he wasn’t surprised Ervin had won the award. “He’s a very smart individual, school comes naturally to him. He helps me with my business homework, sometimes with my math and I know he helps other people,” Gschwendtner said. Ervin said he doesn’t believe winning this award will change his future seasons very much due to

his goals and mindset. “I had such a great mindset going into it already about staying diligent with my workouts and my school work,” Ervin said. “This is just telling me to keep doing what I’m doing and great things will happen and that I’m on the right track.”

NAWIC Golf Tournament fundraiser to benefit women in construction DANA MCLENNAN copy editor

The St. Louis chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction announced their annual golf tournament fundraiser, which benefits Construction in Education Programs. Vice President of NAWIC Alyssa Ruff said the event is important to be able to partner with local institutions, and donate scholarship money to construction students, especially women. She said funds raised through these events go into partnering with local schools to provide scholarships and funding programs aimed at educating younger generations in construction. “We want to see people that are excited about the growth and the development and the success of women in the construction field. In these roles that in the past many, many years, most people have seen as male lead roles: engineers, project managers, project coordinators, trades people, trades women and tradesmen,” Ruff said. “There’s a lot of women in this industry … really driving a lot of the economic growth, and … a lot of new good ideas.” Ruff said while their scholarships are geared towards female candidates, they have and

do provide scholarships for male candidates as well. She said their focus is always about building up the younger generation in future construction roles that will lead the growth of the industry. “We want people that see the value in having a younger generation, and especially women be involved in how important our voice truly is to the growth of our St. Louis construction industry,” Ruff said. Lisa Smith, director of development of the School of Engineering said via email that SIUE is the only accredited Construction Management undergraduate program in Metro East and in 2021, the School of Engineering has awarded more than $19,000 in scholarships to 18 different Construction Management students including the NAWIC scholarship. “I think we’re a logical choice for NAWIC when it comes to supporting women in construction management, because we are one of the only universities in the area that provides that program,” Smith said. Smith said there are about 100 students enrolled in the program each year and approximately 10 percent of them are women. She also said this year the NAWIC scholarship, which is

specific to women pursuing construction management, went to Paityn Jansen, a senior construction management major from Breese, Illinois, this year. Paityn Jansen, said not only winning the NAWIC scholarship meant a lot to her, but also how she found out. “It was [Women in Construction Week], and during that week is when I received [the] notification … saying that I got the NAWIC scholarship. I thought it was kind of cool,” Jansen said, “I don’t know if they did that on purpose or what … but it just made me feel kind of welcome.”

Jansen, whose love of buildings and architecture drew her to construction management, said it is important for women to be recognized in this field so that younger women know there is support. “I remember being asked, ‘Why are you going into construction, you know you’re going to have to deal with a lot of guys,’ … I know that, but I’m passionate about it, but to hear [the] negativity and I feel like there [are] some girls who may not have that mindset right away and they’ll say, ‘I can’t do it,’” Jansen said. “I feel like having the word out

there that, ‘No, we can do it,’ will help them not be steered away from what they’re actually interested in.” Ruff said the golf fundraiser, which is open to any age group, will be held from 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 6 at the Forest Park Golf Course in St. Louis. Pricing for individual golfers is $150 and $600 for a team of four with options for add-ons from network lunches to beverage carts. Participants must register by July 30. To register for the tournament, visit the event’s registration page at Eventbrite.
