workers for the installation. He said the process of getting the displays on campus began five years ago with student suggestions. “At the time, the cost was such that we couldn’t afford that kind of capital investment,” he said. “We were able to work with a company which furnished the digital displays.” He said the company would afford the costs through national sponsorships displayed on the boards. One board was installed during winter break, and there will be a total of six installed, Nadler said. He said the times when the other boards would be installed would depend on factors

A
n electronic display board with a picture of a smiling student was recently installed behind Old Main and marks the first of six new ways to inform the Eastern community. Dan Nadler, the vice president for student affairs, said the Connexions Media Group is providing Eastern with the materials and maintenance for the displays and would reimburse facilities planning and management
such as labor required to run electricity under the ground and the weather. “We’ve just been starting to experiment with the system and do some initial testing so we’re still sort of in the pilot phase,” he said. Nadler said the boards would be used to promote campus events. “For the years that I’ve been here, there’s been an overwhelming sense that students don’t know what’s happening on campus,” he said. Campus events such as Homecoming, Family Weekend, concerts and registered student organizations’ activities will be displayed on the back of the boards. DIGITAL EASTERN, page 5
PHYSIC AL SCIENCE BUILDING | CRIME
Vandalism investigation still ongoing By Stephanie Markham Administration Editor The investigation of the vandalism that occurred in Nov. 2011 to chemistry equipment in the Physical Science Building is still ongoing, according to the University Police Department. Detective Kent Martin said they are still working on the leads to come to a conclusion. “We are still working with the items that we took as evidence that were sent to the (Illinois State Police Crime Lab), and we are still attempting to locate some people for some interviews,” he said. Martin has been investigating the case since the vandalism occurred in late 2011.
He said the UPD is the lead agency responsible for investigation, but they have received assistance from other local and state agencies. Martin said the investigation would continue until the vandal or vandals responsible are found. Meanwhile, faculty and students in the chemistry department have been working with new equipment replaced by Eastern’s insurance company. Jonathan Blitz, a chemistry professor, said damage to the third floor of the Physical Science Building mostly affected student research within teaching labs. Blitz also said much of the equipment was replaced quickly.
“We are now back up to, in terms of equipment, where we were,” he said. “Some people did lose some things research-wise that nobody can replace, but in terms of equipment we are back to where we were and actually better because we bought new equipment.” He said some more advanced and costly equipment had not been replaced until recently. “One of the things in the University Strategic Plan is to enhance campus and community life, and a component of that is really exploring and implementing ways in which to better inform the university environment of upcoming events, activities and programs,” he said.

What began as a simple grant application has turned into a sprawling, nearly fourmonth-long exhibit on music in America. “America’s Music: A Film History of Our Popular Music from Blues to Bluegrass to Broadway,” will kick off its opening celebration at 7 p.m. Friday in the Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. During each section of the exhibit, which continues on until April 6, different genres of music will be represented with an accompanying film. The opening celebration for the exhibit will consist of excerpts of films and performances by both Eastern and local musicians. Allen Lanham, dean of library services, said the music would be representative of humanistic issues. “America uses popular music to talk about human life,” he said. Lanham said the music reflected the issues surrounding society during that particular genre’s emergence. “If you take someone like Elvis, there was a huge social upheaval when he started moving his hips around on television,” he said. “People didn’t want it in their homes, politicians didn’t want it, and of course the more you tell kids not to watch, the more they are going to want to.” The opening celebration will feature an Elvis Presley tribute band called Scott Wattles and the Blue Suede Crew. Along with the tribute band, there will be performances by the EIU Jazz Ensemble, the Unity Gospel Choir, soprano artist Christine Robertson, the EIU Percussion Ensemble, bluegrass band Flat Mountain and the Doudna Theater Ensemble, arranged by Paul Johnston. Johnston, an associate professor in the music department, applied for the grant along with Lanham in order to make this exhibit possible. Lanham also said America’s music comes from immigration and migration and that the ways music traveled help tell its history. “How did the fiddler in the Appalachian mountains get his music to travel to Texas?” he said. “One town at a time.” He also said topics such as speakeasies would be touched upon and how music affected those establishments during the time of Prohibition. Lanham said students who attend the opening celebration will learn a lot more about the cultured history of each genre.
