$13M of renovations in the works Jonathan Swartz

@JP_Swartz | Daily Egyptian

It is said that time heals wounds but it does something very different to brick, mortar and steel. Structural repairs, performed by Plant and Service Operations, required attention before more noticeable projects around campus. Phil Gatton, the operations director, said students and teachers eight years ago had to deal with buckets and trash cans strategically placed throughout classrooms and halls to catch drips from leaky roofs. “Early on, money was primarily dedicated toward infrastructure, so we did roofs and mechanical systems,” Gatton said. “Now we’re spending a lot more money on things that people see.” More noticeable improvements include the installation of new clocks in hallways and classrooms, and renovations of auditoriums and restrooms. Gatton said these improvements, particularly the restrooms and clocks, are a result of student complaints. “We had started taking clocks out of hallways and classrooms because everybody has a smartphone,” Gatton said. “We’ve discovered that a lot of the students aren’t allowed to use their phones in classes, so there was no way of telling time.” Restroom repairs and replacements included new exhaust fans and automatic toilets and urinals, all part of making restrooms more sanitary. Recent renovations also include $6,000 to $7,000 invested in tunnels under campus. The tunnels contain steam pipes, which power most of the buildings. Since Carbondale’s buildings and campus received an internal makeover in 2014, larger and more costly projects will receive attention. Gatton said work slows down with the presence of students, but ongoing projects, some with scheduled completion dates this summer, are still making headway. Please see MAINTENANCE · 2

SIU: Ground zero for change Jonathan Swartz

@JP_Swartz | Daily Egyptian

When former SIU President Glenn Poshard enrolled at the university more than 40 years ago, he said the student body instigated social change. It still can, Poshard and others said. “Universities are the best places for change,” said Justin Hansford, a law professor at St. Louis University, who recently spoke at SIU. “At universities, you have students who are young and open-minded, less set in their ways.” Hansford, who regularly lectures at universities, had a speech titled “Teaching the System to Change the System,” in which he spoke about experiencing the civil unrest in Ferguson, Mo.

“After you graduate from college you have your family and your work life and your office,” Hansford said. “You’ll never be in a more diverse environment, for most people, than the university. This is your chance to interact with these different walks of life and hear their perspective.” Between 1970 and 1984, Poshard earned three degrees from SIU and was involved in and witnessed many student protests while attending the university. “When I was in college back in the 1960s, we were going through a lot of social change,” Poshard said. “Students were very involved in the social justice issues of the day.” Naama Lewis, a graduate student in

mathematics and psychology from Gary, Ind., said students still face contentious issues. “Young people have issues and they have situations that they have a strong feeling about, but then that strong feeling comes off as them being angry,” Lewis said. She said one of the obstacles students face is racial inequality and a lack of respect for people from different backgrounds. Lewis said misunderstandings about other people are often the cause of prejudice. “Racism exists,” she said. “You can’t not talk about it.” Lewis said inequalities are not limited to racial prejudice.

Fee increase improves night transit service Ahmad Hicks

@ahicksSports_DE | Daily Egyptian

The phone rings at night on the third floor of the Student Center. On one end of the phone is a student wanting a ride home, and on the other, a dispatcher for SIU’s Night Safety Transit—a service provided by student fees. The student fee increased from $45.40 in 2013, to $46.48 in 2014. That $1.08 rise brought another sevenpassenger van to SIU’s Night Safety Transit to provide students with free rides. SIU’s Night Safety Transit service, which begin in 1980, did not allow men to ride it five years ago. It formally was run by the Department of Public Safety, but has since been taken over by the university. The vans pick up students and take them where they need to go in Carbondale from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday to Wednesday and 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday to Saturday. The service will not provide rides to businesses along a bus route that is running. Carbondale’s campus has some 18,000 students. To serve them, the Night Safety Transit has two vans, one of which stops running after 12 a.m. on weekends. “We would love to expand and help more students, but if we did that, the

tuition rate would go up, and we don’t want to make students pay more than they already do,” said Jeff McGoy, assistant dean of students. During the 2013-2014 school year, the Night Safety Transit serviced 10,696 students, according to its webpage. On Thursday, the service surpassed the 9,000 mark for students receiving rides for the 2014-2015 academic year.

That number does not include students who called for a ride, but did not get picked up for various reasons. On an average weeknight, the transit service receives from 60 to 70 phone calls, compared to the 100 to 115 calls on weekend nights. During events such as Polar Bear, the dispatchers’ phones never stop ringing, McGoy said. Please see TRANSIT · 3

Gatton said the Facilities Maintenance Fee, $722 a year per student, helps keep these projects afloat when budget cuts hinder progress. Along with the construction of new facilities, students’ money goes toward making campus safer. Gatton said new lights have been installed inside and out, including the north pedestrian bridge. He said while the LED lights are slightly more economical, the key reason for their installation is safety. “It’s much more like actual daylight,” Gatton said. “You feel much more comfortable walking [at night].” This is not the only effort made to keep students safe. Jon Shaffer, director of University Housing, said during busy hours, some students are inconvenienced by the lack of

functionality of elevator No. 7 in Mae Smith residence hall, which has been out of service since last semester. Shaffer said the elevator has been out of commission so long because a component of questionable integrity was found when replacing another part. He said he was unwilling to risk use of the elevator because its ability to function safely was cause for concern.

Recent and ongoing changes, particularly sidewalk replacements, also keep the campus compatible with guidelines set by the American Disability Act. “The university has always been a campus that is known for accessibility,” Gatton said. “We don’t just look at meeting the codes. We look at pushing the envelope and trying to provide as much accessibility to our spaces as we can.”

HANSFORD CONTINUED FROM

“Racial iniquities, gender iniquities or economic iniquities. There are so many layers to [the discussion],” Lewis said. While having such conversations is easier said than done, Andrew Podoll, a doctoral candidate in education from Fargo, N.D., said talking about these issues is important no matter how difficult. “The reality is these issues have been going on for a long time and are deeply rooted in our society,” he said. Podoll said he does not feel qualified to suggest solutions to

TRANSIT CONTINUED FROM

Jamesia Banks, a junior from Chicago studying television and digital media, said she enjoys her job as a driver for the transit. Banks is in her second semester working for the service. “I get a radio call telling me where to go from the time I get here until the time I get off, but as long as I know students are making it home safe it doesn’t bother me,” Banks said. But with only two drivers working at a time, McGoy said the employees can fall behind. “With only having two vans,

the inequalities America’s young people face. As a white, heterosexual male, Podoll said his voice in society is already dominant. He said it is a challenge to speak on the topic of inequalities because his identity occupies so much of the dialogue already. Podoll said students sometimes fail to recognize their privilege— not everyone has the opportunity for higher education. Hansford, a lawyer and social activist, said while he fights for equality for African Americans, he has to keep in mind he experiences male privilege and cannot forget obstacles American women face.

Nathan Stephens, director of the Center for Inclusive Excellence, said everyone has a different experience and, as a result, develops conflicting perspectives. “I hope that we can learn to listen to one another, and even if we don’t agree, at least learn from one another,” Stephens said. However, listening requires someone to speak. Lewis emphasized the power of standing up to peers who make rude jokes or racial slurs. She said listening with empathy for each other’s position and situation is paramount. “I’m going to talk to you, and I’m going to try to diligently

it can be hard trying to get to everyone,” McGoy said. Sydney Grover, a departmental manager for Night Safety Transit, said the unit does the best it can with the amount of drivers it has. “It can be stressful sometimes when the phone rings all night long,” said Grover, a first year graduate student in legal studies from Chicago. “The help from another dispatcher and driver could definitely be used at times.” But employees say that frustration does not prevent the group of dispatchers and drivers from getting their jobs done.

Letitia Evans, a sophomore from Chicago studying criminal justice, said she uses the service regularly and the only negative is the wait time on certain days. On average, the wait time for a ride is 10 minutes, but can be as long as 25 minutes depending on the volume of calls coming through, Grover said. Dispatcher Bianca Alaniz, a senior from Chicago studying psychology, said she wishes there were more dispatchers. “Sometimes the phones never stop ringing, and the students can be mean. Sometimes because they want a ride home as fast as possible,” Alaniz said.

learn about you and understand you, and then, in that process, I change myself and I change you,” Lewis said. “Then you change me and you change yourself.” Lewis said even when students may be too embarrassed to stand up to peers, being the one in the group who does not laugh at a crass joke is a great place to start. She said this process of mutual understanding and bettering each other through dialogue is not easy. “People have to be ready to be wrong. People have to be ready to face the hurtfulness of some of the things they have said and to change how they think,” Hansford said.

Poshard said students must be passionate and not settle for situations they are born into. “Maybe they feel that the only way they can get the point across is to join another group of people and protest, and that’s OK,” Poshard said. Students should never feel they are too small or insignificant to make something happen, Podoll said. “It’s all about getting out of that comfort zone,” he said. “It also means being resistant to social norms. So when we’re in crowds of people and conversations are being had, who’s going to stand up and say I don’t appreciate that, or that’s not appropriate?”

Aniston is fantastic in ‘Cake’ Jacob Pierce

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

Every Oscar season, entertainment critics and journalist alike discuss all of the actors or movies the award show looks over. The Oscars have a huge history of snubbing some of the best creative endeavors. Alfred Hitchcock famously never won an Oscar, despite being considered one of the greatest directors ever. Fred Astaire, from “Singin’ in the Rain,” was only nominated once in his entire career and “Wizard of Oz” was never nominated. Jennifer Aniston is just one of the many snubbed of 2014 for her performance in “Cake” (Rated R; 92 min). “Cake” is a drama directed by Daniel Barnz and starring Jennifer Aniston, Anna Kendrick, Sam Worthington and Felicity Huffman. Pain. Claire Bennett, played by Aniston, lives a life of pain. Just moving around causes her unbearable misery. All of her anguish has caused Bennett to become a shrew of a woman, lashing out at any chance given with anger and sarcasm. She is kicked out of her chronic pain support group after making comments about a member committing suicide. Bennett takes the rejection as a sign and attempts to turn her life around, even though life tries to throw every obstacle it can in her way. It is hard to have an expectation for a film you barely knew existed. In true

indie movie fashion, it seemed like the advertisement budget was zero. The only publicity “Cake” received stemmed from the hype Aniston’s performance was getting. All of her praise was well deserved, Bennett is the best role she has ever played. Aniston turns what could easily be an uneven, generic indie film in the vein of “Wish I Was Here,” into an Oscar snub. Her acting ability seems to go from zero to 100 in “Cake” when compared to some of her other films such as “We Are The Millers” and “The Bounty Hunter.” Aniston represents all of the emotional and physical pain the character feels in the most human way possible. “Cake” does not romanticize depression like the film industry has for years. Her illness is ugly and hard to watch. Yet, she is also a character with underlying hope. She wants to be happy. And while the script never has Bennett blatantly express the dueling sides, Aniston makes up for it by effortlessly portraying both a mad woman and a broken individual. While the movie has Aniston’s career high performance on its side, Barnz and the crew still manage to ruin a lot of the movie by underutilizing talented actors. The actors who are put on display have the charisma which is that of a cardboard cutout. Poorly executed plot lines force the film to suffer. One of the best examples of both of these problems are apparent for Kendrick. She is a terrific actress in her own right. A former Oscar nominee,

Kendrick is given what could have been one of the most interesting roles in the movie and it goes absolutely nowhere. Kendrick plays the ghost of the woman from Aniston’s support group who committed suicide. She haunts Bennett at various points in the film, trying to convince her to commit suicide. It is never revealed whether Kendrick actually is a ghost or just a representation of Bennett’s psyche. It does not matter; she only appears about four times, and each instance feels like someone is trying to jam a square peg into a round hole. While it may seem like beating a dead horse at this point, Worthington delivers a stale performance. He plays the husband of Kendrick’s character, a man dealing with anger and depression, though neither of said emotions are seen onscreen. It would have been cheaper to just dress up a block of wood in human clothing pay the high salary of the “Avatar” actor. His line reading is laughable at best, spouting dialogue equally ridiculous as corny. The character should be easy to empathize with, but you just end up not caring at all. It is easy to see why Aniston failed to receive a nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. The movie barely functions. While you will cry at certain scenes in the movie, you will also laugh at scenes that are not meant to be funny. The film reaches average heights. Unfortunately for Aniston, “Cake” will easily be forgotten.

Black History Month: an opportunity for change Our Word Journalism has been a field dictated and led by white males. The DE has struggled to change this culture. This organization has not had a black editor-in-chief, and rarely has more than one black member on the editorial board. In acknowledging these shortfalls in diversity, though, we realize how we can begin to adjust how we cover campus. While we strive to be more understanding, diverse and openminded, we nevertheless need your help. There is no better time to start our road to diversity than during Black History Month. Diversity is not a trend or buzzword. It is necessary if a news organization is to stay current, informed and fair.

Thus, the Daily Egyptian is using Black History Month as a 28-day opportunity to examine what it means to black in southern Illinois and America. Every day we will feature content that analyzes at least one aspect of black history or culture. There will be anecdotes of racism, stories of acceptance and facts about the ugliest and most compassionate aspects of American race relations. This will be an attempt to convey the importance and history of the month. The Daily Egyptian is not here to force a system of beliefs on its audience. Rather, this is the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunity to encourage conversation on some of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pressing issues. So, enjoy, criticize and converse. Let us know when the DE fails and succeeds. We

realize not every story can be told or all aspects covered in just one month. Topics related to black history can and should encompass the whole year. We want your input. We are looking for letters to the editor, story ideas and opinions. A simple way to start the conversation with people you know is by using #SIUTalks on Twitter. We hope this month will open eyes, celebrate culture and spark conversation. We know we will be covering some controversial issues and difficult subjects. Our goal is not to shock, but to create an opportunity for our community to keep race issues at the forefront of discussions. Please help us get the conversation started.

Greek challenge increases athletic event attendance Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

SIU Arena will go Greek for a second straight year when both basketball teams host the Greek Challenge for a combined six games this year. The Greek Challenge is a collection of six games, five men’s and one women’s game, where fraternities and sororities compete against one another to see which group can have the most fans in the stands. Marketing graduate assistant Nicole Sack said there are more men’s games in the Greek Challenge because higher attendance is anticipated. The fraternities and sororities are broken down into large and small categories. Last season, Greek games provided the highest attendance numbers all year. The men’s games during the challenge had an average attendance of 5,576 compared to a season average of 5,238. The women’s game had 712 people in attendance, which was the largest total of the year, compared to a season average of 448. Tau Kappa Epsilon won the Large Fraternity subcategory with 99 attendees, while Alpha Gamma Delta won Large Sorority with 110 attendees. In the Small categories, Kappa Alpha Order was the winning fraternity with 25 attendees and Delta Sigma Theta was the winning sorority with five attendees. In the only Greek Challenge game of the year so far, the men’s team lost 59-52 Thursday to Northern Iowa. The game had 5,267 attendees, the second-highest of all home games this season. Women’s coach Cindy Stein said crowd support always helps the team. “It’s huge,” Stein said. “You don’t want the crowd sitting on their hands.” The next Greek Challenge game is at 1 p.m. Saturday at SIU Arena when the men take on Illinois State.

Salukis placed across the nation for summer Aaron Graff

@Aarongraff_DE | Daily Egyptian

While students are figuring out summer internships, baseball players are figuring out where they will play this summer. Seventeen of the 29 eligible Saluki baseball players have been placed in collegiate summer leagues, which allows them to play games nearly every day, in different parts of the country. “Those summer leagues are great leagues,” baseball coach Ken Henderson said. “I know very few kids who go and come back and don’t say they had a great experience.” Fifteen of the 17 have set teams. Freshman infielder Hunter Anderson and sophomore infielder Ryan Sabo are playing in the Hamptons League in New York, which places players in March based on the first month of stats to keep the league competitive. The Salukis have players going as far west as Washington, and as far east as New York. Players placed in summer leagues must have at least one year of eligibility in school. Henderson said he picked some

teams he has sent players to before. He said the staff has to be especially careful with pitchers to make sure their arms are preserved. The team decided to not let sophomore lefthanded pitcher Kyle Pauly play last summer because it did not want someone over pitching him. “You develop connections,” Henderson said. “You want guys you can trust.” Henderson said to be a great college player, one must play in the summer, especially underclassmen. He said the team has had great placement numbers for the 26 underclassmen on the team the past two years. “You can’t actually make them do it,” Henderson said. “All our kids, who we wanted to, wanted to play last year and we have everybody placed for this summer.” Freshman infielder Greg Lambert said he is excited for the experience, and is not nervous. Lambert, who is originally from Alabama, will be spending his summer in Virginia with the Front Royal Cardinals. “You get to live with a host family and see a different part of the country,” Lambert said.

Lambert said he is looking forward to meeting new people, while still playing with SIU freshman catcher Nick Hutchins and outfielder Braden Mosley. Every summer league team can have as many as four players from one school. Some players will have to play against their Saluki teammates in the summer. Sophomore outfielder J.C. DeMuri played last season with the Springfield Sliders. He played in the same division as sophomore righthanded pitcher Austin McPheron and Sabo, who played with the Terre Haute Rex. “During the season you’re always friends with them,” DeMuri said. “Then you try to beat them when they’re on the opposite team.” DeMuri is playing with the Derby Twins in Kansas and will get to play against sophomore catcher and outfielder Jake Hand, who is playing with the El Dorado Broncos. The Salukis start their season Feb. 13-15 against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in Fort Worth. Players will report to their summer teams after the season concludes.
