Eastern to celebrate History Day By Brion McBeth Staff Reporter

Tyler Idleman, a senior general studies major, voices his opinion against Eastern becoming a tobacco-free campus Wednesday in the University Ballroom of Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Tobacco-free bill still smoldering By Samantha McDaniel Student Governance Editor The seven Eastern students who voiced their opinion at the tobaccofree forum spoke against a complete ban on tobacco on campus Wednesday. The Student Senate members hosted an open forum to discuss the proposal to prohibit the use of tobacco on campus. Gregory Schoonover, a senior philosophy major, said he is not a smoker, but does not agree with a ban of
all tobacco on campus. “I abhor tobacco use and I think it contributed to my mother’s death, and I can find no justification for somebody to smoke,” Schoonover said. “Having said that, I can find no justification for this initiative either.” He said the ban would be a way of controlling the campus community, not promoting health. “If we want to dictate behaviors on the things that concern and annoy people on campus, I don’t think we would get much done,” Schoonover said.
Student Senate Speaker Mitch Gurick, a sophomore business major, said the reason the Student Senate had a forum was to gauge how students feel about the proposal. Gurick said the proposal has sparked debate and discussion throughout the campus community. “For some, smoking on campus is a lifestyle choice, freedom choice, and for other it is a health choice,” Gurick said. He said they wanted to gain feedback on the impact of such a policy. “We (reached) out to our constit-
uents to gain feedback and see how you feel about going tobacco-free,” Gurick said. Gurick said he felt like the senate members were able to hear both sides of the issue and will be able to make more of an educated decision. Lee Ann Bryant, the Coles County health educator and a panelist, said in response to Schoonover that the ban would help decrease the number of habitual smokers on campus.

Spring workshops to assist community By Bob Galuski Entertainment Editor Artistic workshops for community members are ramping up again for the spring sessions in the Tarble Arts Center. Each of the classes is designed for anyone in the community, from ages 4 onward, Kit Morice, curator at Tarble, said. She also added that each of the in-
structors are either teachers at Eastern, or artists residing in the area. The classes are designed to go over any range of students – from the least to the most experienced learner, Morice said. Children who want to take class have many options available to them, Morice said. Anyone in the age range of 4 to 6 can take the class “More Adventures in Art.”
This class is designed to help teach children the basics elements of art, such as lines, shapes and form, she said. “It’s for those who might not have that much experience, but want to learn,” Morice said. She also added that the class would teach skills to younger children, such as using paintbrushes and scissors. Children ages 7 to 9 can build upon these skills with the class “Ex-
ploring Art,” taught by Dustin Regal. Natalie Boyer will be instructing the class “Introduction to Mixed Media Art,” which is available to anyone 10 to 14 years old. This class will incorporate different styles of art, such as pastel and chalk, scratch art and metals. Community members 15 years and older can participate in three different classes, Morice said.

As a part of Eastern’s first History Day, an Indiana State University professor will explore the corruption of voting during the Civil War era. Chris Olson, a history professor at Indiana State University, will discuss drinking, violence, gambling and other facets of life that took place during election days. “Voting now is secret, we have secret ballots,” Olson said. “Then it was more open and not confidential.” Olson said the lecture comes from a book that he is in progress of writing. The book is also part of the series “How Things Work.” He said the history department at Indiana State University enjoyed the idea of the book and encouraged him to do a presentation on it. The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday in the Lecture Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Edmund Wehrle, a history professor at Eastern, said he has wanted to bring Olson to Eastern’s campus for a while now. “Olson is very respected,” Wehrle said. “He is a voted scholar of the build-up to the Civil War.” Wehrle will also be presenting “The View from Camp David” during Eastern’s History Day lectures. Olson will be one of the many guest speakers that will be speaking at Eastern’s first history day. This day is aimed at history majors hoping to find jobs after college, Wehrle said. Wehrle said, “History Day is a day set aside to discuss opportunities for history majors and also gives career opportunities to celebrate the discipline of history.” History Day will be presented on Friday, and it will consist of teachers, publishers, museum workers and others speaking on panels discussing career opportunities that can benefit history majors at Eastern. Clare Smith, a senior history major, said she is extremely excited about History Day and also hearing Olson speak. Smith said, “History Day will have three or four different sessions and there will be presentations about different research projects.” Smith will also be one of the presenters at History Day. Her presentation will be based on research for a paper she has written, titled “The Seventeenth Century Perceptions of the Henrician Reformation.” The presentation will also be part of the departmental honors, in order for Smith to graduate with honors in history. There will be additional presentations throughout the day that will take place. One presentation includes Newton Key, a history professor at Eastern. He will discuss “News Networks in the 17th and 21st centuries.” Smith said she hopes that History Day becomes an annual event for students who attend Eastern.
