Darwin Week showcases 200 years of science Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Some people get a cake or presents for their birthday, but there is not much to give someone who is turning 206 years old and dead. Each year on Charles Darwin’s birthday, the university hosts its own version of International Darwin Day to celebrate his discovery of the theory of evolution and the advancement of science and education. A group of SIU scientists began celebrating Darwin Day in 2006, but have turned one day into an entire week of festivities. Daniel Nickrent, professor emeritus in plant biology, was part of SIU’s first Darwin celebration. Nickrent spoke at the last two mini-symposiums, including a presentation based on evolution in peoples’ own neighborhoods. Nickrent, who has a Darwin poster in his office, said it is important students take notice of evolution because it is the basis for all science and is relevant every day. Students do not have to sail to the Galapagos Islands, as Darwin did, to understand evolution, though. There, he researched different animals, finding striking similarities among various species. This led Darwin to develop the theory of evolution, which he wrote about in his 1859 book, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.” Other scientists of the time thought all species had remained largely unchanged since their creation. The best example of Darwin’s theory is when he studied finches on the Galapagos. Each island had different species of the birds. Some had short, round beaks best adapted to eat seeds and nuts. Others had long, sharp beaks, which allowed them to eat insects and worms. All the birds adapted throughout history to available food sources on each island. Nickrent said evolution happens in all aspects of life. “[Evolution] is right here in Carbondale, or Murphysboro or wherever,” he said. “If you have an inquisitive nature and a good eye, you can see things happening in your own yard.” One example is the size of dandelions, he said. Those pesky, yellow weeds are a nuisance to many lawn aficionados. Dandelions in an open field are often tall, but in a personal yard, they are smaller. The shorter plants continue to reproduce because lawn mower blades miss them. “It is a very simple, little experiment that takes place in everyone’s yard,” he said. “There’s evolution right there.” Flowers in a yard may not seem important, but the evolutionary processes are a facet of life regardless of size. This occurs on a microscopic scale. Please see DARWIN · 2

Automotive department’s former home to be flattened

Jonathan Swartz

@JP_Swartz | Daily Egyptian

After serving the College of Applied Sciences and Arts for more than 45 years, nearly a dozen decommissioned SIU buildings in Carterville are scheduled for demolition this year. Several of the buildings on the original 1960s campus have already been destroyed. The remaining structures, comprising the former home of the automotive program, will come down by August, said Phil Gatton, director of Plant and Service Operations. He said the buildings, located just south of Route 13 and west of Route 148, are in various stages of demolition, asbestos removal and clearance of debris. Two separate contractors are involved in the process—general contractor FagerMcGee, of Murphysboro, and asbestos contractor General Waste, of Alton. The entire project will cost about $1.6 million, Gatton said. Student fees will not pay for these processes. The money for abatement and destruction is provided by the Illinois

Capital Development Board, said Kevin Bame, vice chancellor for administrative finance. The board oversees construction management for the state’s properties. The only building that will stand after demolition will be the Coal Research Center, said Mike Behrmann, chairman of Applied Sciences and Arts’ automotive program. He said the center is housed in the first permanent structure built on the Carterville campus, where research will continue. Behrmann said most of the buildings on the Carterville campus are temporary structures. He said they greatly outlived their life expectancy and projected usefulness. The buildings were erected as temporary military structures in 1938 and 1939, Behrmann said. The base was decommissioned after World War II, and the university acquired the land and structures for its Vocational Technical Institute, which later became the College of Applied Sciences and Arts. “With soldiers coming back from the war, the university saw a need to provide training to allow people to get jobs,” Behrmann said. “So the university started

providing associate degrees.” Training included everything from electronics, to automotive technology and construction, Behrmann said. Behrmannn said some fields of study were moved to the Carbondale campus or transferred to John A. Logan College, but the automotive program grew and thrived in the structures. He said the buildings’ dilapidated condition contributed to the growth of a disciplined culture among all involved in the automotive program. “We learned to survive, learned to work hard, learned to have everybody pulling together,” Behrmann said. “The students, the faculty, the staff had to pull together because we were all dependent upon working together to achieve our goals.” Behrmann said this mentality is still passed on to younger students despite the automotive program’s new facilities at the Transportation Education Center at Southern Illinois Airport.

This time of year is flu-season, where people sniffle, cough and wheeze. Nickrent said hand sanitizer kills 99 percent of germs and bacteria, but ones that survive and mutate continue to reproduce and create new illnesses. New medicines are created to combat each new virus. It is a natural selection process altered by mankind. Nickrent said it is not just survival of the fittest, but reproduction of the fittest, too. Each year, Darwin Week has a guest speaker. This year’s is Brian Switek, a paleontologist and writer from Salt Lake City.

Kevin Horn, a graduate student from Erie, Pa., studying zoology, coordinates the guest speakers. He said he likes working with the community to show how exciting science is, so he looks for speakers who do that. “We try to use the clues we have now, in the present, to reconstruct this past history,” said Horn, a graduate student studying zoology. “We can put this puzzle together and figure out how living things got to where they are.” He said about 200 to 300

people attend the main speaker’s presentation. Studying dinosaurs provides cooperation among different sciences, and evolution is the building block of those sciences, Switek said. “Fossils are wonderful,” he said. “They raise so many questions about the long history of life before, and our ability to understand those creatures keeps me endlessly fascinated.” Switek is hosting two lectures Thursday. The first is, “Crash Course in Science Story Telling,” and will be at noon at Guyon Auditorium. The second is, “Darwin’s Fossils: Evolutionary Tales in Deep Time,” at 7 P.M. at the Lesar Law Auditorium.

Valentine’s Day around the world Anaïs Engler Daily Egyptian

The color red, heart shaped candies, chocolates, cards, balloons and more may overwhelm one who enters stores these days, indicating something big will happen soon. Saturday is Valentine’s Day, or the international day of love. It is the day you show your feelings, do something special or possibly fall in love. Stores like Wal-Mart are obviously telling you to buy these items in order to make your 2015 Valentine’s Day a success, but that is not the way everyone celebrates. American, Japanese, European and Brazilian men and women for example, all celebrate the holiday differently. Saori Ueda, a junior from Nagoya, Japan, studying biology, said in her country, Valentine’s Day is a chance for girls to give boys gifts. “It is a chance to say your feelings, to be brave and start something with the guy you like,” she said. “But that was mostly in high school. Now, it is more a couple event, but still, the girl is in charge of that day.” Ueda said girls usually cook chocolate cookies and bring them to school to share with their boyfriends, secret loved ones or friends. She said the sweets are meant to be homemade, and the day is a change of pace from the norm. “I like it, and you have the chance to cook by yourself,” she said. “And it is not cheesy. ... For

me it is a funny event.” The holiday can have more meaning if you are in relationship, of course, but it depends on the couple. “Every couple celebrates it,” she said. “If I have a boyfriend I will do something.” Noritsugu Kitagawa, a junior from Nagoya, Japan, studying geology, said Valentine’s Day is typically a children’s holiday. He said the boys would compete for the most cookies in high school. “But it would have to be ‘love cookie,’ not a ‘friendship cookie,’” he said. “If you get a ‘love cookie,’ it is a sign the girl is waiting for you to say your feelings.” Kitagawa said boys would have to approach girls first, but today, as a 20-year-old, he does not wait for Valentine’s Day to admit his feelings. He said the boys’ duties are not finished once the holiday passes. Kitagawa said on March

Although the program’s square footage was cut by a third when it moved to the transportation center, the quality of the new facilities creates a unique learning experience for automotive students, said Andy Ju An Wang, dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Arts.

14, they have to gift something in return, on what is known as “White Day.” “It is a lot of pressure,” he said. “We need to gift something better.” Kitagawa said last year he asked his girlfriend to make a layered almond cake, known as opera cake. “It was kind of a joke, because I knew it was super difficult to make,” he said. “But she made it for me, I think she spent an entire day for it.” If Valentine’s Day in Japan looks less “full of love” than in the U.S. it could be because the most important couples’ event of the year is Christmas. Kitagawa said Dec. 24 is when boys surprise girls with a nice dinner or a short romantic trip. In other places across the globe, Valentine’s Day falls within a warmer month. Bruno Barros, a secondyear student from Recife, Brazil, studying medicine, said

Wang said the new building also gives prospective students and potential donors visual evidence of the program’s prestige. The only visual evidence on the Carterville campus was negative—aging buildings not built to survive the 20th century. Behrmann said when the old buildings were in use, potential students were asked to look past the conditions of the temporary buildings and focus on the quality of

Valentine’s Day is on June 12, and is a commercial holiday like in the U.S. “How you celebrate it depends on your relationship,” he said. “If your relationship is solid, it is a good pretext to turn this simple occasion into a special one.” Barros said it can be a special event for Brazilian couples— bringing the girl to a surprise restaurant, or having a nice dinner with flowers, chocolates and wine. “I like the concept of the event. It is a chance to gift something that I made by myself,” he said. “I prefer symbolic gifts on that day, something that has an emotional value rather than a high price.” Barros said in his city, the day is known as a joke for those who are single. “It is also the Day of the Trees on June 12, so if you are single, you hug a tree,” he said.

Day originated, people consider it the day of the lovers, only to be spent with a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband. Nadja Strekalova, a senior from Kalmar, Sweden, studying marketing, said the holiday is less commercialized in her country than in the U.S. “We just have some stuff in the store but 10 times less than in America,” she said. “And you really celebrate the way you want it, no rules. It can be a fancy dinner as well as a cozy movie night.” Strekalova said the tradition is paired with mixed feelings. “This event puts a lot of pressure on single people,” she said. “I feel it is very commercial but still, I like the idea of a specific day to celebrate love.” From the friendly day of love in Japan, to a restrictive day just for couples in Europe, Feb. 14 is the day of love all over the world.

Act standards, as little money as possible has been put into maintenance of the Carterville campus, he said. “Every time we put money in there, we were very cautious about recognizing that they were considered to be temporary structures,” Gatton said. He said the site will be cleared for further development, but plans for the land are not clear.

Chicago Farmer blends urban and rural influence Chase Myers

@Chase Myers | Daily Egyptian

Chicago may be the last place you would expect to find folk music, but when inspiration flourishes in small-town America, it often migrates to the big city. Cody Diekhoff, sole performer in the folk project Chicago Farmer, made this move while maintaining the small town values he obtained growing up in Delavan and is applying it to his new urban lifestyle. Delavan lies 30 miles south of Peoria with a population of less than 2,000. While attending high school, a knack for poetry and spoken word led Diekhoff to the world of singing and songwriting. “One summer in high school I bought a guitar and started writing songs,” Diekhoff said. “I just needed something to take my poetry and put it into motion.” His grandparents were farmers and his parents had a strong work ethic, something he appreciated and was influenced by growing up, he said. Diekhoff was also influenced by

the grunge wave of rock in the 1990s and the emotional lyrics of bands like Nirvana, Brian Nolan and Pearl Jam, he said “The one good thing about grunge is that it may not be the best music ever made, but it was finally people being real,” he said. During high school, he started leaning toward folk music after listening to Hank Williams Sr. Some of Diekhoff’s friends moved to Chicago after high school to start a band, and a month later, he decided to move with them. “Central Illinois has a lot of great places to play music,” he said. “I just needed to be exposed to a lot of different styles of music and on a nightly basis.” It is hard to ignore a small town upbringing, even while living in a big city, so he incorporates a little bit of both cultures into his music, he said. “A lot of people have pride in working hard here in the Midwest,” he said. “It does not matter if you are in the big city or a small town, it is just the work ethic… that inspires me.” Diekhoff utilizes his knowledge of

poetry and spoken word in his live shows. “I try to incorporate everything that someone can do with an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and a voice,” he said. “It comes full circle, because back in the beginning the words came first and we did not have any music to go with it.” Chicago Farmer’s previous album, “Backenforth, IL,” released in 2013, recounts his Illinois traveling experiences. “A lot of my friends felt like I was stuck in this one place in the same routine,” he said. “The songs on that album are about me expanding, not only as a musician… but as a person.” Diekhoff has recently moved from Chicago to Bloomington but has still witnessed an expansion in the Chicago music scene. “Now, it seems like there is much more variety, which is amazing,” he said. “You could see jazz in one place, bluegrass in the next and hard rock in another.” Chicago Farmer is working on an album in the same Chicago studio where he recorded “Backenforth, IL.” He will blend city and serenity at 10 p.m. Friday at Hangar 9.

Carbondale’s soul lives on dish by dish Chase Myers

@ChaseMyers_DE | Daily Egyptian

Whether it be the sweet aroma of pork roasting, or the careful seasoning of fresh greens, something about a home cooked meal makes people comfortable. One particular style of food, soul food, refers to the traditional cuisine of African Americans and people dwelling in the southernmost parts of the country. Although the term was not common until the 1960s, soul food has deepseated roots in African American history. While enslaved, slaveowners provided African Americans with small rations of food, forcing cooks to expand on what little resources they had, according to Encyclopedia Britannica online. Vegetables such as turnips, kale and collards are harvested for greens and were often flavored with various seasonings. Sweet potatoes are also easily grown in dry soil, making their harvest easy in southern states. One specific green associated with soul food is okra, which is a common ingredient in gumbo, a West Indian dish. Typically, okra is a fried delicacy in modern-day restaurants. At the center of the South, the soul food king is pork barbecue, an easily preserved and seasoned meat. The art of smoking the meat gives barbecue its signature taste by placing various cuts over smoldering coals in an enclosed space and letting it sit for extended periods of time, sealing in intense flavor. A local business owner familiar with this cooking technique, James Elliot of Mo Wallace BBQ and More, has been preparing and smoking meat for the last four years. It is a family affair at the restaurant, with Elliot’s wife preparing side-dishes and his daughter helping with the cash register. Elliot attributes his exceptional cooking to his parents. As a child, he would observe his mom and dad cook and imitate their exact motions. “My mom used to tell me, ‘Boy, you are watching me like the police,’” he said. “I could not help it because I had never

seen anyone cook like she did.” Elliot associates soul food with all of the women in his life–his greatgrandmother, grandmother and mother, and the love they put into what they cook, he said. “When I think of soul food… I think of all the old women that loved me, and I just smile,” he said. An intimate atmosphere cannot be ignored at Mo’s, as one can smell the smoke roll out of the kitchen and hear Elliot singing along with the radio. Many college students consider Mo Wallace a secret spot where they can find quality food and Elliot thanks them immensely for it, he said. Soul food, though present in many traditional African American dishes, also has southern roots. In Murphysboro, one will find soul food is not just the flavor of one race.

“We capture soul food, because barbecue is, what we feel, the original soul food,” said Amy Mills, owner of 17th Street Barbeque. “We are putting love, heart and soul in to our food every day.” Mills said when people eat barbecue, they usually enjoy it with their families in a loving atmosphere. “You see very few unhappy people eating barbecue,” she said. Regardless of the location of the restaurant, the time, the care and effort put into every bite is what highlights the “soul” in soul food and preserves the art from generation to generation. “I’ve realized that if I didn’t care about you, I’d do it like everyone else,” Elliot said. “If someone cares about what you eat, you’re going to know they care, because everything will taste good.”

SIU men’s basketball fell to the Loyola Ramblers for the first time since Loyola joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 2012. The Salukis (10-16, 3-10) lost to the Ramblers (15-10, 5-8), 66-62 on Wednesday at Joseph J. Gentile Arena in Chicago. The Salukis are still without a conference road win this season. SIU led 34-33 at halftime. Neither team had more than a six-point lead in the half. Rambler junior guard Earl Peterson hit a 3-pointer with 43 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Ramblers a two-point lead. Saluki freshman guard Deion Lavender responded with a NBA-range 3-pointer to cap the half. Lavender finished the first period with 14 points, shooting 4-of-5 from three-point range. The second half was even closer, as neither team had a lead worth more than four points. The Salukis had their last lead at 56-55 with 6:43 remaining. Sophomore forward Sean O’Brien fouled out with 3:44 remaining. The Salukis scored three points for the rest of the game. Rambler junior Montel James led the field with 19 points. He also led his team with 8 rebounds. Lavender led the team in scoring with 17 points. He finished 6-of-13 shooting and 5-of-7 from three-point range. Junior guard Anthony Beane followed with 16 points. Freshman forward Jordan Caroline recorded his second career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. With the loss, the Salukis split the season series with the Ramblers. The Dawgs are tied for last place in the MVC with Bradley and Missouri State. The Salukis play the Evansville Purple Aces (178, 7-6) at 3:05 p.m. Saturday at SIU Arena.

Youth replacing experience behind the plate Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

After losing a three-year starter behind the plate, Saluki softball has turned to young talent to fill the gap. Freshman catcher and infielder Sydney Jones came to SIU instead of Florida Gulf Coast University after attending Palm Beach Gardens High School in Florida. “When I came on my visit, I felt at home here,” she said. “I had other offers but felt more at home here [15 hours driving] than two hours from home.” Jones was an All-Conference honoree all four years of high school and was part of the team that won the 2011 Florida 8A state title, which reached the No. 1 ranking on ESPN in 2012. Through four games this season, Jones and sophomore catcher Jessa Thomas have split time calling pitches. Both have started two games. Coach Kerri Blaylock said that will likely continue until the conference schedule. “It will depend on who our opponent is and what our needs are,” she said. “They have certain strengths, so it will depend on how the season plays out.” Blaylock said Thomas is more vocal, but

Jones is getting there. She said Thomas is more of a classic blocking catcher, while Jones is catching up after primarily playing third base in high school. Associate head coach Jen Sewell said Jones is able to smoothly pop out of the catcher position for a better throw because of her athleticism. Sewell said Thomas has more of an easiness than Jones that pitchers love to throw to. She said both block pitches well and have the ability to throw base runners out. Senior pitcher Katie Bertelsen said she does not have a preference as to which one starts. “We will need both of them,” she said. “It’s really nice to have catchers that talk to you and communicate with you throughout the game.” Jones brings versatility to the team, as she started at third base in the games Thomas caught. “You want players that can play multiple positions,” Blaylock said. “It helps being able to put people in different spots.” Sewell said Thomas is practically a rookie at the plate, as she backed up former catcher Allie VadeBoncouer last season. VadeBoncouer led the team in on-base percentage last season and

was hit by 71 pitches in her career—which is is No. 2 all-time in NCAA history. Thomas only played in nine games last season, going 0-for-5 with 3 strikeouts. Sewell said the pressure to fill in offensively will not be put on Jones and Thomas. She said as long as the two are hitting and getting out in productive ways with long at-bats and sacrifice flies, they are doing their job. “We aren’t going to stick them in the middle of the lineup and put that pressure on them,” she said. “They’re both quality, mechanical hitters.” Thomas and Jones are No. 2 and No. 4 on the team in batting average at .400 and .273 respectively through four games. Both players performed well in the first two games Friday at the Charleston Southern Tournament. Thomas was part of the fourth-inning rally that tied SIU’s first game of the year 3-3 against Ohio State. Her two-out double began a three-run inning. SIU lost the game 7-4 in the eighth inning. Jones also recorded a RBI in a 4-3 win against Maryland, Baltimore County. The Salukis play in the Rafter Memorial Tournament at 11 a.m. Friday in Kennesaw, Ga.

close. SIU has made some games closer than they should have been though. The Dawgs led No. 13 Northern Iowa at half. It led Indiana State for the majority of the game, and lost on a semi-miraculous three-pointer. It kept pace with Drake the whole game, and should have at least been tied through regulation. It kept pace with Loyola again on Wednesday. The team has not been as bad recently as it was at the beginning of conference play. The main problem is the record. Last season, the team did not start quite as bad, but went on a four-game winning streak about the same time, which got momentum going, which led the team to one victory in the MVC tournament. If the Salukis can improve the record in the last five regular season games, it could have a similar feel of last season. It will be tested, as four of the five games are against teams in the top half of the conference. But maybe that is just what the Salukis need. If they can win three of the last five games, they

should be taken just as seriously as anyone in the conference, and rarely anyone watching closely has said that during this season. Granted there are keys to the game, and some issues with their play, but the only things people really care about are the wins and losses. A college team is not going to play solid basketball for 40 minutes; so all the Salukis have to do is play better for enough of those minutes to win. How can the team do that? Hinson said it better than anyone, he needs a human maturation microwave, where he puts players in and they come out three years older and better. Freshman guard Deion Lavender had a career half against the Redbirds by scoring 13, but scored 2 points in the second half. He had 14 first half points against the Ramblers, but scored 3 in the second.

Dawgs need to build off signature win Aaron Graff

@Aarongraff_DE | Daily Egyptian

SIU men’s basketball got its first signature conference win of the season Saturday, and it needed it. The team only had two conference wins before defeating Illinois State 65-59 Saturday at SIU Arena. Those were against teams at the bottom of the Missouri Valley Conference standings. But defeating the Redbirds was no easy task. They were third in conference before the game, and SIU looked its best all season in spurts. It is hard to say the team is playing well this season because of the (10-16, 3-10) record, but it is because the team cannot play well all 40 minutes. Even coach Barry Hinson knows that will not happen. The Salukis had an 18-point lead at one point in the game Saturday, and it was tied at the start of the last minute. Obviously the only score that really matters is the one at the end, but it should not have been that
