Carbondale citizens brought signs, peace flags and grandchildren to send a message to U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (R-12) and protest escalations in the conflict with Iran.

Jared Treece | @jaredtreece Max Pernitsky shows his support by holding a sign at the No War Rally held in downtown Carbondale on Thursday.

Thursday evening, Georgeann Hartzog, a member of the Peace Coalition of Southern Illinois, held a vigil and march to congressman’s office after the Jan. 7 Iranian missile attacks on two Iraqi airbases housing American troops.

More than 3,000 service members will be deployed to the Middle East to respond to this conflict. National Guard members with the 2nd Battalion, 130th Infantry based in Marion are set to deploy to Afghanistan near the end of the month, including former Daily Egyptian sports editor Adam Warfel.

In a statement released Wednesday

by Bost, the congressman said he is thankful no American blood was shed.

“President Trump sent a strong message to the world that the United States will stand against terrorism and a nuclear Iran,” Bost said. “Hopefully, this will be an inflection point that spurs our friends and allies to join our efforts to promote peace and deter future terrorist attacks in the region.”

Georgia de la Garza, Carbondale resident, held a green flag with a peace symbol for her husband, people of all countries, her children and her granddaughter, she said.

The flag belonged to de la Garza’s husband who worked in military intelligence and died of cancer after being exposed to toxins when he was a first-responder on 9/11.

“This flag was my husband’s flag. He worked with military

intelligence. This flag has actually been to Iran and Iraq and Afghanistan and through Latin America,” de la Garza said.

Garza’s husband hung the flag in his office when his tours ended; he passed away three years after 9/11, she said.

“The warmongering we have got to take down and we have got to change our culture in America to become a peaceful country,” de la Garza said.

Rene Cook brought her 5-yearold great-granddaughter to the vigil.

She was there to protest the endless war in the Middle East, Cook said.

Raymond Lenzi, the democratic candidate for Illinois’ U.S. 12th congressional district, also attended the protest.

“We don’t need to spend money on war,” Lenzi said.

The United States can only afford to attack the climate emergency, he said.

Standing towards the front of the march, Rich Whitney, also from Carbondale, said people need to stand up against the lawlessness of the federal government.

“It is doing things overseas, it is killing people overseas in our name, and it’s doing it in violation of international law and, I believe, against the will of the American people,” Whitney said.

Jan has a plan: Jan Thompson becomes first female permanent director of journalism Bethany Rentfro | @BethanyRentfro

Award-winning independent filmmaker Jan Thompson has taken over SIU's school of journalism as its first female permanent director.

Thompson has received three Emmy awards for music composition, writing and directing and has produced several documentaries, one of which was narrated by Alec Baldwin. She has been a part of the university for 20 years.

Thompson said part of her plan to revitalize the school of journalism was inspired by a prime-time special she produced about food and cultures across different countries.

Thompson said she has an idea for a food journalism specialization in the School of Journalism. “[Food] is really the best way to understand a different country or ethnic group because food is non-threatening,” Thompson said. “Everybody is usually proud of their food heritage.”

Another specialization Thompson said she finds interesting and hopes to create at the university is one in science journalism.

“Journalism can be used in so many different fields,” Thompson said. “To have that skill to be able to write and communicate complex topics and information is very, very valuable.”

Thompson said it is a huge honor to be the first female director of journalism.

“It’s an honor to be chosen by the faculty,” Thompson said. “We have such a distinguished group of people here in this school, that adds to why it is so great.”

Thompson said she hopes to see more women in leadership positions at the university as well as in general.

“I think it is important to have diversity,” Thompson said.

Thompson said she believes the shortage of women in leadership positions is due to a lack of role models.

“When I was one of the first female directors in sports, there were no role models,”

Janice Thompson, Director of the Journalism Department, in her office on Monday.

Thompson said. “It was sort of like a jungle where you have your own machete and you’re trying to forge the path and stay up with everyone else.”

She said she would like to see former Journalism School alumni become mentors for students who are trying to navigate the field for themselves.

“They can be there for a journalism student who needs another perspective,” Thompson said. “They’ve been there, and they have gone through it.”

Other faculty and staff members within the school said they are looking forward

Angel Chevrestt | achevrestt @dailyegyptian.com

to the plans Thompson has for the department.

Amber Easton, the office manager in the school of journalism office, said Thompson’s plan involves many things.

“One of the things she was talking about doing is revitalizing our area down here,” Easton said. “Revitalizing the halls and the labs [and] creating scholarships for incoming students.”

Easton said Thompson is a pleasure to work with and that she is the kind of person who knows what she wants.

“She wants to see this program and the

university succeed,” Easton said. “She is not afraid to put in the work to make that happen.”

The Daily Egyptian also has an all-female editorial board. This is the first time this has ever happened at the DE. “This is the perfect way to start the new decade,” Thompson said. “I think we should try to figure out how to make 2020 ours.”

Dispensaries in Southern Illinois thrive as supply runs short Keaton Yates | @keatsians

Southern Illinois residents celebrated 2020 by lining up outside of dispensaries for the first day of legal recreational marijuana.

Three dispensaries in the region are now able to sell both, recreational and medicinal cannabis, including Marion’s Harbory, and Thrive in Anna and Harrisburg.

All of the businesses experienced shortages during the first weeks after new state legislation ended the prohibition of marijuana. Thrive had to reduce sales to only medicinal products and edibles were limited to three items per customer according to the store’s voicemail.

“We’re very early into the sales, and we know it’s been pretty successful so far. We’re hoping that it continues and that it draws new businesses and helps our community flourish,” said Dori Bigler, Anna’s city administrator.

Anna has a 3% tax on marijuana products and Carbondale has a 2% tax. Medical marijuana is exempt

from these taxes.

Harbory became so busy that its voicemail inbox could not take any other messages. The Daily Egyptian reached out to Harbory, Thrive Anna and Thrive Harrisburg but the businesses did not respond to comment.

Carbondale currently does not have a dispensary or anywhere that sells marijuana product, but there could be developments in the future.

“I know the economic development team with the city has already had several inquiries that they’re responding to,” Jennifer Olson, Carbondale’s president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, said.

Jacob Buckman, owner of the Carbondale business Legal Smile, noticed a significant change in sales in the past month. Legal Smile sells glass, electronics for vaping and CBD, he said.

“We are starting to grow hemp, cannabis, and we’re going to start

carrying the pots, fertilizer, scissors, anything you need to start growing,” Buckman said.

Buckman said he chose Carbondale to set up Legal Smile because be saw Carbondale was lacking businesses in the smoke

industry and saw a small window of opportunity.

“I think that the store will impact the community positively,” Buckman said. “Hopefully they’ll make it more accepted and become more educated on it, that’s the

biggest hurdle right now.”

Just a small town girl who wants to change the world

Bethany Rentfro | @BethanyRentfro

A young business owner is doing her part to help raise money for wildfire relief in Australia.

Autumn Grant, 27, is a southern Illinois native originally from Murphysboro and the owner of The Kind Poppy, a business based out of Nashville, Tennessee that sells vegan-friendly bath and beauty products.

Grant is kicking off her new Kindness Collection for her business as a way to raise funds for charity. She has made several eucalyptus-based products as a way to honor Australia.

“It’s been really fun and I’m a sucker for a good theme,” Grant said. “That’s another reason why I love doing the Kindness Collection.”

Grant said 50% of the proceeds from the collection will go to charity.

“My goal is to raise $10,000,” Grant said. “We kicked off the fundraiser this week and we are close to $500 so far.”

Grant started The Kind Poppy because of her parents’ health issues as a way to help them out financially.

“I started making bath bombs and I started selling them as a fundraiser to help my mom and dad,” Grant said.

Grant said she named the business after her dad, whom she calls Poppy.

Grant said she had no intention of creating her business, but she gives all the credit to God for giving her the idea to start The Kind Poppy.

“It was totally God because I never would have thought this would happen in a million years,” Grant said. “It felt like I was

doing something to help [my parents] even though I couldn’t be there all the time.”

Grant was inspired by helping her family to start helping out other charities, and she said she hopes to inspire others to help out any way they can.

“I want to let people know that you don’t have to be rich to do good,” Grant said. “Even little people, if we all come together, I think we can make the world a kinder place.”

She is raising money for the Wildlife Warriors Worldwide foundation, which was started by the family of Steve Irwin, the late Australian television personality and environmental expert, to help provide medical care to the animals in Australia who were injured from the fires.

The foundation started with Lyn Irwin, Steve Irwin’s mother, who had a dream to build a facility for wildlife in need.

Steve Irwin and his wife, Terri, renovated a small avocado packing shed into a functioning wildlife hospital. A brand new facility opened in 2008 that is still accepting a wide variety of animal patients, according to the Wildlife Warrior website.

The Wildlife Warriors Australia is a part of the Australia Zoo that hopes to continue Steve Irwin’s mission of saving wildlife. The Wildlife Warrior Project has helped over 100,000 animals so far.

On the website, Bindi Irwin, the daughter of Steve Irwin, said she believes people must do their part to make a change.

“We must be the change, seize the moment, and fight for the voiceless,” Bindi Irwin said. “Conservation is not just

about little woodland creatures, it’s about our wildlife, wild places, and ultimately us, humans. Our futures depend on our actions today.”

The Australia Zoo has an Animal ER that is currently helping koalas, kangaroos and wombats that have been burned in the bush fires.

“It is a really big honor to give back,” Grant said.

Grant said she wants people to know that even if you are from a small town, you

can still make a difference somewhere else in the world.

“I just want to inspire others, especially people from a small town that you can do good,” Grant said. “We all can do good together.”

2020 race heats up and candidates begin to drop Juniper Oxford | @JuniperOxford

The democratic field of candidates is narrowing, state primaries are nearing and another debate will be held next month.

Sixteen candidates have dropped out of the 2020 presidential race so far. There are still 16 candidates remaining of the two major parties, according to the New York Times.

Cory Booker, Marianne Williamson, Julian Castro and Kamala Harris have all suspended their presidential campaigns within the past month.

A recent RealClearPoliticsapproved poll by the Des Moines Register has Sen. Bernie Sanders with a lead of 3 points

in Iowa, the first state to vote in the 2020 primary.

Quarter four fundraising ended on New Years Eve and candidates have been releasing their totals since. All campaigns must disclose their totals by Jan. 31.

Released by each campaign, the numbers go as follows: Sanders at $34.5 million, Buttigieg at $24.7 million, Biden at $22.7 million, Warren at $21.2 million and Yang at $16.5 million, with others either not disclosing or not coming near those totals.

Six of the 16 candidates, Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer, have qualified for the Jan. 14 debate,

according to the NYT. This will be the final debate before voting begins and will be held in Iowa.

There will be three debates in February. The first will be Feb 7. which is four days after the first vote is cast in Iowa. The New Hampshire primary will be four days after the first debate on Feb. 11, according to Election Central.

The Illinois primary will be on March 17, and is the 5th largest primary in terms of delegates at 155.

Recreational cannabis is legal now in the state of Illinois, as of Jan. 1, 2020. So, how legal is it and what does “legal recreational cannabis” mean?

A license is required, like the sale of cannabis, in order to transport cannabis in quantities larger than the legal possession amounts.

Recreational users cannot grow in their own homes and, according to FindLaw, can be punishable by a civil penalty if caught.

Carbondale Warming Center finds permanent location

Name | @TwitterHandle Carbondale Warming Center offers a place to stay for those who who are in need of overnight accommodations on Monday.

Jacob Lorenz | @Jjtlorenz6

The Carbondale Warming Center moved into a permanent location this winter and has already served more guests than last year.

The Warming Center is a temporary homeless shelter that is open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m to give individuals a warm place to spend the night.

Now located in an old SIU dormitory at 608 E College St, the Warming Center has, as of print deadline, served 79 individuals compared to 57 last year.

Since opening on Dec. 1, 2019, they have hosted an average of 17 people per night.

Carmalita Cahill, coordinator for the Warming Center, has been doing social work for 20 years and said it was a great honor when she was asked to be coordinator.

The Warming Center has moved from the Gaia House to the Civic Center; the building they use now is their first permanent residence.

The new building also provides some basic accommodations not found in previous locations. Cahill said guests now have privacy to speak about their situation to Cahill or to others who can help.

“Because of this building and the city’s generosity we were able to meet with one of our guests and determine their eligibility for a program and get them referred,” Cahill said. “They were with us for 32 nights and they moved into their own place on Monday.”

Cahill said the most important rooms to her are the transition rooms. These rooms serve as living rooms for guests.

“A lot of our guests come in right at 8; they eat, they sit in there for a little bit

and relax, then by 9 they are ready for bed,” Cahill said. “It’s that progression of coming in, that experience and that feeling of being able to do that. That makes a really big difference for our guests and knowing that they are welcome.”

Since the Warming Center isn’t open 24 hours, guests have to spend their day elsewhere.

The library and Center for Empowerment and Justice are both about a mile from the Warming Center, which is approximately a 30 minute walk.

Jennifer Fertaly, a volunteer for the Center for Empowerment and Justice, said the center has been trying to stay open later than usual and open earlier to accommodate for those leaving and going to the Warming Center.

Both the Warming Center and the Center for Empowerment and Justice have made arrangements with mass transit to be picked up and dropped off between the two.

Joyce Yahn, a regular guest at the Warming Center, said she has been riding mass transit since the Warming Center opened up this year and has no complications.

“Everyone is very friendly,” Yahn said.

Fertaly said it usually comes down to whoever can drive people at 8 p.m.; sometimes it’s two car loads.

Carmalita has done a really good job at creating a family atmosphere, Fertaly said.

Letter to the Editor: Clear and Imminent Danger in Iran?

William David Higgs III

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo justified the recent drone strike which killed General Soleimani by stating that there was a clear, imminent danger posed

by Soleimani’s presence in Iraq.

I ask, simply, what danger did Soleimani present. Specifically to whom was his presence a danger?

Whenever one considers a threat in the international arena, it is important to consider two things. Firstly, who is the threat against? Secondly, what is the nature of the threat? Is the threat “imminent” or far away? Is the threat direct or indirect? In the case of Soleimani’s presence in Iraq, as well as the role of Iran in the region more generally, the threat is neither clearly directed against working Americans nor is it imminent.

Iran does not pose a threat to the interests of you and me, to the interests of working class Americans. The only people whom Iran threatens are globalist, financier capitalists who profiteer in the Middle East.

Attacks by Iranian supported Houthi rebels do not threaten us, they only threaten the business interests of the super wealthy who are in cahoots with the Islamist theocrats running Saudi Arabia. As far as Secretary Pompeo’s claim that Iran poses

a “clear” threat to Americans, it is which asking which American, precisely, are threatened? Whose interests are really on the line here? Certainly the financiers, the ultra-rich oil barons who depend upon the constellation of US alliances in the Middle East to secure super-profits most of us will never see a crumb of, certainly they are threatened. It is possible also that the 3,000 troops deployed to fight for these globalist interests are threatened, as the canon fodder of the globalists are always threatened.

But as for working Americans here in this country, does Iran pose a clear danger? By no means.

One might rebuff that while Americans within our borders are not threatened, the sacking of the US embassy proves that Iran is willing to wage attacks on US soil. However, it should be noted that the attack of the US embassy was not carried out by Iran, but by supporters of the Kataib Hezbollah, a militia with ties to Iran. These Iraqi, not Iranian, citizens attacked the embassy out of anger that a foreign power from halfway across the world is occupying their country, and shortly after the attack, Iraqi parliament moved to expel US troops from their country. The irony of an occupying military power speaking of the “clear

threat” other countries pose to it is salient.

As for the “imminence” of an Iranian threat, this is also far from self-evident. Houthi militias have attacked Saudi oil refineries, but this is an attack perpetrated by allies of Iran against allies of the US. Disputes among allies hardly constitutes an “imminent” threat.

The aforementioned attack on the US embassy does not speak to the threat Iran poses to the United States so much as to the perils of imperialist foreign policy. The dangers of imperialism are far more “imminent” than any threat posed by Iran.

So, does Iran present a credible, clear, and imminent threat to working class Americans?

Hardly. Iran and its allies do present a threat to the interests of super wealthy financiers and their Islamist, theocratic Saudi associates, but not to us, not to working class Americans.

At the end of the day, the only clear, imminent threat against everyday ordinary Americans is presented by imperialism and by those who would lead us into another dead-end conflict that only serves the interests of the globalists and the profiteers.

George MacKay, center, as Lt Corp Schofield in Sam Mendes’ epic “1917.”

“1917” A cinematic feat for the ages Kyler Guebert | @kguebert88

I’ve never been a fan of war movies. They’re dark, gruesome and disturbing and showcase some of the worst atrocities and battles in human history. I’ve also found them to be rather boring overall. I could probably count the number of war films I’ve seen on one hand.

Enter “1917,” a war film directed and cowritten by Sam Mendes (“Skyfall”), which follows two young soldiers on a mission to stop a planned British attack that leads them into a German trap.

Its premiere in early December completely upset the already chaotic awards cycle, receiving guild nominations and awards galore.

“1917” popped up on many top 10 lists at the end of 2019 and a week prior to its nationwide release, it earned the Best Director and Best Picture Drama prizes at the Golden Globes.

Conversation about the film increased leading up to its expansion, and many predicted the film would get a lot of love at the Oscars this year (it garnered 10 nominations on Monday, including Picture, Director and Screenplay).

I found myself getting more and more excited to see this film, which was something I had no interest in since its announcement.

This excitement spread rapidly throughout the movie-going public as the film opened at number one this weekend, unseating “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” from its three week run at

number one, with a $36.5 million haul and a solid A- Cinemascore.

I wholeheartedly understand why it’s garnered so much love. The biggest draw for this film was the fact that it was edited to look like it was done in one take.

Cinematography legend Roger Deakins

“There are shots and scenes in this film that will be studied for years, and I would absolutely recommend you watch this film in theaters on the biggest and best screen you can find.”

- Kyler Guebert

pulls off his most impressive work to date, and should easily take home the Oscar he was just nominated for.

There are shots and scenes in this film that will be studied for years, and I would absolutely recommend you watch this film

in theaters on the biggest and best screen you can find.

Because of this one-take strategy, the actors and crew had to hit their marks perfectly every single time, and Mendes deserves so much credit for being able to pull this off.

I spent a long time thinking about current working directors who could pull off a film of this magnitude, and I couldn’t come up with hardly any.

The work of the production design team is meticulous and mesmerizing. Getting to see how the sets and landscapes flowed together so beautifully and effortlessly made for an incredible viewing experience.

There have been multiple videos and articles released about how they pulled this film off, and I still can’t believe it worked so well.

Mendes could end up winning Best Director this year and it’s something I wouldn’t be too upset about.

George McKay and Dean-Charles Chapman lead the film and give incredibly emotional performances that keep you grounded and engrossed in the narrative of the film.

Supporting performers like Colin Firth, Andrew Scott and Benedict Cumberbatch pop up every once in a while and give great performances with the little screen time that they have.

The score by Thomas Newman is sensational and is perfectly balanced with whatever is going on screen. Many expect Newman to win his first Oscar for his work after fourteen previous nominations.

The sound team also did a fantastic job of adding and blending the war elements of the film with the score, and the film was nominated for both sound categories at the Oscars.

Sadly, the film was not nominated for an overall editing award, which is an absolute shame. Lee Smith blends the scenes and set pieces so perfectly and beautifully and is literally the reason this film works.

The entire film literally feels like its unfolding in real-time, and it creates for a pulse-pounding and tense journey that Smith has crafted so well out of Mendes’ vision.

When it comes to Oscar Sunday, I’m expecting to hear the title “1917” a lot. It’s a technical marvel that is as emotional and compelling as it is intense.

It’s the type of film people will be looking at and studying for years to come for its achievements in film making. I’m already planning on seeing it again, and have even been considering driving two hours to the nearest IMAX screen to do so.

It’s a film that deserves to be seen in theaters, and it was easily one of my best movie-going experiences in months. It’s going to be a big threat at the box office and award ceremonies this year, and it absolutely deserves every accolade and ounce of love it has received so far.

2020 Vision SIU looks ahead to next decade STORY BY JACOB LORENZ + GRAPHICS BY CHLOE SCHOBERT, MEGAN LISOTA & ERIN DOUGLAS

It’s a new decade for the 150-year-old university, and SIU’s administration is optimistic about the 20s. New renovations to buildings, a focus on student academics and a revitalized athletics program are changes they hope will improve enrollment.

Major Events Fr 2011: Faculty Walk Out

2014: Pravin Vaughese dies

2010: Saluki 2012: Transportation Stadium is Education opens completed

2015: APA program begins

2015: SIU becomes a Smoke-Free Campus

2017: Solar Eclipse 2016: Tim Beaty is shot and killed

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 Meera Komarraju, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the number one priority for SIU in the 20’s is enrollment, which includes recruitment and retention.

Komarraju said fall enrollment was around 11,900 but the goal is 15,000 in a couple of years.

Komarraju said they want to build on initiatives they’ve done but do them excellently, like focusing on student success.

“When they come here they have a good, solid academic experience so they actually feel like they’re learning something and they’re growing in some way,” Komarraju said. “And then to work with them so they plan for the future.”

Komarraju said she wants to help students in the future, whether it’s going into the workforce or furthering their education.

There are pockets across campus that help students launch into graduate school really well, Komarraju said, and they want to learn from them and apply that all of campus.

“If a student is figuring out how to get an internship, make that a part of the program, so that every student who finishes from SIU has an internship experience,” Komarraju said.

Komarraju said, SIU is hiring 35 new faculty for fall 2020 and brought 22 new faculty for fall 2019.

“We are also excited about our doctorate programs in physical therapy and occupational therapy which are very high demand areas,” Komarraju said, “and our nursing program that is going to start this fall.”

There is a shortage of teachers, nurses and pilots in this country and now SIU has programs in all three of those fields, Kommaraju said.

Another way SIU is looking to boost its enrollment is through sports.

SIU has 17 sports since it added women’s soccer and Tom Weber, associate AD for communications, said that’s a good number for a mid-major school.

Weber said he is optimistic about this decade for sports. When Jerry Kill was athletics director, he hired 7 new coaches in a year and Weber said he is confident in them.

Page 9 Weber said he’s been at SIU for 18 years and this is the strongest group of coaches he’s seen, and he’s seen good coaches like Bruce Weber and Jerry Kill.

“I think that 20 years from now you’ll be seeing ‘Wow, guys like Bryan Mullins and Nick Hill coached here,’” Weber said.

Liz Jarnigan, SIU’s athletics director, got a group of senior leadership together to work on goal for the athletic department. They came up with a pyramid called Saluki Standards, Weber said.

Broadly speaking, Weber said, the goal is to graduate student athletes and prepare them for life.

“It’s not just about winning championships, obviously that is an important part, but we’re also focused on the GPA,” Weber said.

Weber said he hopes that, by the end of this decade, SIU will be able to look back at the number of conference championships SIU will have won and the number of NCAA tournament appearances we made, and he believes this will help boost enrollment.

“No one wants to wait 10 more years before we go back to the big dance,” Weber said. “The opportunity to be on the national stage, that showcase of March Madness, we need to get back there.”

Weber said it is imperative that SIU athletics is a success in this decade since it can really help with enrollment.

Brad Dillard, director of the physical plant, said SIU can still expect changes to the buildings on campus from the capital bill this decade.

“We expect to get permission from the Governor's office and the state to start up our engineering and planning work,” Dillard said.

Dillard said, the changes are still the same in the capital bill from the spring, but priorities may change within that bil So expect building renovations to the Communications, Neckers, Agriculture Sciences and Life Sciences II this decade.

Editorial: Student newspapers and consenting to learn in public Rana Schenke | rschenke@dailyegyptian

When I started at the Daily Egyptian in spring 2018, I didn’t know what I was doing. All I had was a semester of high school journalism and a desire to become a better writer.

Since starting at the DE, I’ve met coworkers who applied for various reasons and from various backgrounds. Some were from the School of journalism students looking to gain experience for their resumes; others were creative writing, animal science or psychology majors looking for a unique, flexible or oncampus job.

No matter their goals or skills, for students who make up the DE staff, the job is a learning experience.

The learning that takes place at the DE, however, has one major difference from classroom learning: public exposure.

Sharing work online and in print can be a very rewarding experience. A student’s work at the DE can shine a light on stories and topics the public may be otherwise unaware of.

The downside of this is when students share their work, it’s out there for everyone to see and it’s hard to predict how people will react to it. If they don’t like the topic or the opinion of the piece, a writer may see negative comments on social media or the website.

If a mistake has been made, there are many

who, rightfully so, are quick to call attention to it.

A mistake can be as small as a misspelled word or as detrimental as poor judgment on editing or topic of choice. Although it’s helpful for mistakes to be pointed out so they can be addressed, it can be very disheartening for someone to receive overtly negative or insulting comments on the content of their work.

Working for the Daily Egyptian involves a concept known as “consenting to learn in public.”

I first came across this term while reading writer, scholar and activist Adrienne Keene’s blog, Native Appropriations. Keene wrote a post in 2018 talking about the concept of consenting to learn in public.

She said in writing and sharing her opinions, she experienced both growth and mistakes, but through these, she learned how to admit when she was wrong, how to apologize in the right way and move forward.

These skills are very important, both in journalism and in life, and working for a student newspaper is learning these skills while on a public platform.

The Daily Northwestern, the student newspaper at Northwestern University, came under fire last November for both its coverage of a protest on campus and its subsequent

apology for the way it handled the coverage.

Many people criticized the student journalists for their actions; however, despite opinions on the matter, at the end of the day, these students will learn from these moments and grow as journalists.

That’s what it means to consent to learn in public.

No matter the public opinion on a journalist’s work, be it positive, negative or indifferent, each piece published is a learning experience and will help that journalist grow.

The Daily Egyptian is primarily a place of learning. As such, we have policies in place to ensure this mission is fulfilled. One of these policies is our policy on article removal; we keep articles on our website in perpetuity and do not remove published content.

This allows readers to look back on past content and staff to look back on their previous work as well as the work of others to learn from it.

Avid readers on the DE website or social pages may have noticed our updated social media and comment policy. As the policy states, the DE welcomes comments which make their point politely without the use of profanity, obscenity or personal attacks.

(You can read the full policy here) We’ve chosen to update this policy to clarify expectations for conduct on our

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

site and social media platforms. The policy is modeled after similar policies used by national news organizations.

Hateful comments don’t help student journalists learn. Pointing out an error and calling names are two different things.

What can readers do to help support the student journalists at the DE? Tell us when we’ve made an error. We welcome constructive critiques that can help us improve our content.

On the flip side and equally important, if you think we’ve done a good job with a story, photo or graphic, please let us know!

Positive feedback helps guide us when producing new content.

We have a lot of new and exciting things planned for spring 2020. We’re launching a feature to showcase students’ creative projects, we have a new video series on the way and we’re busy working on interesting and exciting content.

To keep up to date on what’s happening at SIU and in the southern Illinois region, be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram and Twitter at @dailyegyptian.

Oscar Nominations: Netflix, Joker Out On Top Kyler Guebert | @kguebert88

The nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards have been announced, and they are full of snubs and surprises. “Joker” led nominations with 11 total, including Best Picture, Director and Actor.

War film “1917”, Martin Scorcese’s “The Irishman,” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” each received 10 nominations, including Best Picture.

Other contenders for Best Picture include “Jojo Rabbit,” “Little Women,” “Marriage Story,” “Parasite” (6 nominations for each film) and “Ford v Ferrari” (4 nominations).

Here are some of the many snubs and surprises that came with the nominations this year. A full list of nominees is available at the end of this article.

Surprise: Netflix Dominates It wasn’t long ago that the Academy was against Netflix and its expansion into the world of filmmaking and getting awards for their work.

Now, Netflix has the most nominations of any other distributor this year, with 24.

This marks the first time Netflix has led nominations and the first year that nominations were “The Irishman” and “Marriage Story” made up 16 of the nominations

on their own, with films like “The Two Popes” and surprise Animated Feature contender “Klaus,” as well as multiple documentary narratives filling in the remaining nominations.

Still, many wonder if the streaming giant can turn those nominations into wins. Neither film is expected to win more than a couple awards each, so it may be just another year of recognizing the service without giving it a ton of awards.

Snub: Female Directors It’s hard to find a year with as many amazing films by female directors as 2019. Studios gave women so many amazing opportunities to tell beautiful stories and did so with talent to spare.

In the Documentary Feature category, four of the five nominees are directed or codirected by women. Yet, in the Best Director category, there were no women nominated.

The filmmakers who were nominated all turned in some great work, but comparably, the showcase of talent and power by female directors this year outshone many of the nominees.

The most obvious omission is Greta Gerwig for her work directing “Little Women,” but filmmakers like Lulu Wang (The Farewell), Celine Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire), Lorene Scafaria

(Hustlers), Alma Har'el (Honey Boy), Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) and Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), among many others, all deserved far more recognition and love for their work.

It’s a disgrace to Hollywood that this has happened time and time again, but hopefully, with the majority of the major comic book blockbusters coming out in 2020 directed by women, people will start to see the power that a woman behind the camera has and hopefully we won’t end up having this same conversation again in the coming years (we probably will, but I still have hope).

Surprise: Joker If you’d told me four months ago when I saw this film that it would be nominated for eleven Oscars, I’d have told you that you were crazy.

But here we are.

There are a lot of things in “Joker” that do work that are worthy of this kind of acclaim, but there’s no universe where “Joker” needed or deserved eleven nominations.

These kinds of nominations ignore the work of many others who are much more deserving of their work, especially in costume design.

Ruth E. Carter’s work on “Dolemite is My Name” deserved to win this category. She was not nominated.

I think “Joker” will likely only walk away with two or three awards (hopefully), but it still

robs those who did far better and more complex work of the chance to be recognized.

Snub: People of Color It’s another year of the Academy ignoring people of color, both in front of and behind the camera.

The entire cast of Bong JoonHo’s masterwork “Parasite” was completely ignored, despite being one of the best ensemble casts assembled in recent memory, with each performance arguably worthy of being nominated.

Jennifer Lopez, who almost everyone expected to get nominated, was snubbed in the supporting actress category. Eddie Murphy and the entire “Dolemite is My Name” cast and crew were snubbed, as was the team behind “The Farewell,” specifically Lulu Wang for directing and writing and Awkwafina and Zhau Shuzen for their performances.

SAG nominee Jamie Foxx (Just Mercy) was shut out in favor of Anthony Hopkins and Lupita Nyong’o’s incredible performance in “Us” was completely ignored, as was the rest of the film.

The only non-white acting nominee is Cynthia Erivo for “Harriet,” in which she plays Harriet Tubman. Her inclusion allows the Academy to avoid another #OscarsSoWhite backlash, but 1/20 in a year where the breakdown easily could have been

so much higher and better is just disheartening and upsetting.

Surprise: Frozen 2 I never would have expected Frozen 2 to not receive a Best Animated Feature nomination. The first film won the prize and also took home Best Original Song.

This follow-up has gotten nearly every major precursor award nomination for the animation branches thus far, and it just became the highest grossing animated film of all time, surpassing the first. Still, this wasn’t enough, and the film was shut out of the Animated Feature category.

The song “Into The Unknown” from the film did receive a nomination, while another Disney track, “Spirit” by Beyonce, was snubbed.

The powers that be at Disney surely aren't too upset (they got 22 nominations overall), but the notable lack of Frozen 2’s presence in the Animated Feature race, especially considering the amount of love Disney received this year, is interesting to say the least and could very well affect “Frozen 2”’s chances in the Original Song category this year.

Women in the sports world: We deserve more respect

Tamar Mosby | @mosbytamar

Sports is something that is universally enjoyed by people of all kinds. While this rings true, it is a fantasy that sports create equity among the masses.

In reality, it marginalizes different groups of people, including women.

One example of the inequities in sports is demonstrated by who is reporting the news in the sports world.

An Associated Press Sports Editors report in 2012 revealed that the disproportion in the sports journalism field stretched wide in the areas of gender and race, as it showed 90% of sports editors were white males.

Percentages may have changed over the course of eight years but these statistics are still relevant to my experience as the current sports editor at the Daily Egyptian.

When searching through the Daily Egyptian’s archives, I was unable to find record of a female sports editor in the past 20 years, let alone a sports editor who was a woman of color.

The lack of diversity in sports journalism is troubling because it provides audiences a one-sided view of sports and discourages minorities from wanting to pursue careers in the field.

As a woman who has been involved in sports for the majority of my life, I have seen first hand how the global institution of sports is problematic and unbalanced.

When I competed as an athlete at both the high school and

collegiate level, women’s sports were hardly ever mentioned, supported or marketed in the same way the men’s sports were, even if we earned more championships and held better records.

This is still an issue today and the proof is in the pudding including flavors of the university’s attendance statistics, social media coverage, and marketing.

“There were 3,856 individuals at the men’s game, in contrast to 341 at the women’s game.”

- Tamar Mosby Sports editor

For reference, last week both the SIU men’s and women’s basketball teams competed in conference matchups at the Banterra Center and the gap in game attendance was staggering.

There were 3,856 individuals at the men’s game, in contrast to 341 at the women’s game.

You could multiply the women’s attendance by 10 and it would still be less than the men’s attendance.

This is a major problem.

And little is being done to increase support of women’s athletics. As a sports journalist, I see the deep-

seated roots of the issue.

For one, when I attend games, I am the only woman in the room and the only person of color in the room. The environment being synonymous with that of a boys club. While classic “sports talk” was the topic of conversation, input from the lone female sports reporter was disregarded, if it was asked for at all.

In press conferences during my first year as a reporter, my questions would be overshadowed by older male journalists who would talk over me. Being new to the job and also being the only woman, I can say such experiences were intimidating and discouraging.

In my opinion, situations like these can prevent women from wanting to pursue careers in sports journalism and could be the reason the representation of women journalists in the field compared to men is microscopic.

In reality, women can be bigger sports fanatics than men and they can be more educated on game strategy and franchise trades.

Just because a woman isn’t a man doesn’t mean we don’t have anything valuable to say when it comes to sports. Perhaps sports reporting and commentary should be judged on the basis of its accuracy, rather than the gender of the person it comes from.

Finding the flow: Women’s basketball adjusts after two home losses

Cindy Stein and the SIU bench watch as a play unfolds as the Salukis suffer a 57-60 loss to UNI on Friday

Brooke Buerck | @bbuerck25

After losing two very close conference matchups this weekend, Southern Illinois women’s basketball recognizes that cleaning up their execution of plays on the offensive end and sinking free throws would have helped make the difference.

The Salukis (9-6, 1-3 MVC) dropped their home-opening MVC matchup to Northern Iowa 60-57 on Jan. 10 and the following matchup to Drake 7365 on Jan. 12.

Saluki head coach Cindy Stein said her team had several areas to improve in after the UNI matchup, with free throws being one of them.

“I felt like our defense was pretty solid today [and] I thought we had some good play coming off the bench that helped us get back in the game in the first half,” Stein said. “I’m disappointed in our offense [and] our execution of our plays and the lack of details and I’m disappointed in our free throw shooting.”

After trailing the Panthers

17-9 in the first quarter and hitting only three out of 17 shots, the Salukis found their momentum before the half off of four 3-pointers, including two from sophomore guard Payton McAllister.

Northern Iowa was down 3533 at halftime, but came out of the locker room after the break to go on a nine-point run.

“We knew it was going to be a game of runs,” junior forward Abby Brockmeyer said. “They took the first run and then we came back strong and kind of leveled it out, but we can’t really let them get ahead like that.”

The Salukis struggled from here to find a way back in the game, and Brockmeyer attributed this to lack of offensive execution.

“We can’t run the plays right, and then everyone’s confused and offense isn’t flowing good.

So, I think we need to work on that a lot, [because] that’s a huge part of the game,” Brockmeyer said.

The junior forward also said Northern Iowa’s defense

collapsing into the paint was a struggle for the players in the post.

“I think we struggled at first but I think we came around.

It’s tough in the post when you turn your head and there’s three people on you,” Brockmeyer said. “Even coach said we weren’t working the ball enough, we were taking quick shots, contested shots.”

Stein said she thinks the team has great depth in the post and that will win them a lot of games.

“It’s hard [not] to struggle when you’ve got a couple of kids on you. It’s tough. Northern Iowa did a great job of making our offense rush,” Stein said.

Stein also said Southern’s 13for-24 (54.16%) finish at the free throw line is something the team needs to change.

“Free throws have been killing us the last couple of games, and if you look at our losses and if [we would have] hit our free throws, we win those games,” Stein said. “At this point in the season, it’s too early in the conference to freak out, but

Angel Chevrestt | achevrestt@dailyegyptian.com

we’ve got to do something.”

The Salukis have been spending a lot of extra time in the gym working on putting up extra shots and are hoping to see more fruits for their labor, Stein said.

“Some of it’s nerves, [...] but they almost want it too much that they’re overplaying, they’re over-pushing, and we keep talking to them about slowing things down and being more patient,” Stein said.

Sunday’s matchup against Drake was another close one for the Salukis. After three quarters of neck-and-neck competition, Southern hit a dry spell in the fourth period, allowing Drake extend their lead and come out with the win.

Southern improved their free throw performance in this matchup, going 11-for-16 from the line (68.8%), but their offensive execution, according to Stein, still needs work.

“I am proud of our kids. I thought that during 75-80% of the game, we were right where we needed to be,” Saluki head

coach Cindy Stein said. “We still have to clean up that other 20% [and] we have to clean up our turnovers [and] execute our plays a little bit better.”

Stein said the Salukis execute the offense well when the ball is continuously moving.

“We have to stop trying doing one-on-one so much because when you go one-on-one for your scorers, your shooting percentage usually isn’t very good,” Stein said. “Our percentage was really good in the first half because we moved the ball around very well and we got people open as well, but I think we lost sight of that.”

SIU takes the floor again in the Banterra Center on Friday evening at 6 p.m. and Stein has no doubt that her team will continue to grow and see success.

“I’m honestly not worried about us,” Stein said. “I feel like we’re going to be okay and we’re going to work hard to get those three games that we lost back.”
