Poll: 90% of Illinoisans OK with medical marijuana

SINCE 1916

VOL. 100 ISSUE 61

Students search for remains of Old Main

BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Voters in Illinois are giving the green light to medical marijuana, according to a poll conducted last week by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute. The poll shows 82 percent of voters support medicinal marijuana, though more than half — 51 percent — disapprove of using it recreationally. “Medical use, recreational use and decriminalization are all related but are still distinct public policy issues in the minds of many voters,” David Yepsen, director of the institute, said in a press release Monday. “They are likely to be issues in the debate over criminal justice reform, new revenues and public health.” The data from the study shows opinions on recreational use differ mostly based on age. Ninety percent of surveyed voters under the age of 35 support medicinal use and 72 percent of the same demographic think the drug should be legalized for recreational use. Comparatively, 79 percent of voters age 65 and up approve of using marijuana to treat illnesses but a mere 29 percent think it should be used recreationally. “These data show that substantial support for medical cannabis can be found in every demographic and that support has substantially increased in the last few years,” said Delio Calzolari, associate director of the institute, who helped design the poll. Approval of medical marijuana has increased by 19 percentage points since a similar poll was conducted in 2013, which showed 63 percent support and 32 percent opposition. Since then, the state launched a pilot program allowing dispensaries to set up shop and sell to card-holders who suffer from specified illnesses. But only 4,000 patients have signed up to participate in the four-year program — a fraction of the originally estimated 30,000 eligible. Investors in the field have expressed disappointment in the lack of receptiveness among Illinois patients. Dispensary owners and marijuana advocacy groups have called on Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner to expand the program and allow more patients with other conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, to apply. The governor declined last month a bid from the state’s medical cannabis advisory board to add eight more conditions as eligible for medicinal marijuana treatment. The data was collected by telephone and is based on a sample of 1,000 voters across the state. It has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSukyo_DE Nathan Meissner, left, an SIU graduate with his Ph.D. in archaeology, measures ground distance with Chad Hall, a senior from Decatur studying criminology and criminal justice, during an archeological site examination Tuesday at the site of the Old Main building. “We’ve done a couple limited tests with [the ground penetrating radar], but this is the largest run,” said Meissner, a current research associate. “It’s a learning experience for us. An amazing thing would be to use this equipment full scale at a large prehistoric site here in southern Illinois. I like using high tech equipment, it bring out the inner nerd in me.”

AUSTIN MILLER | @AMiller_DE

The historic Old Main building, which suspiciously burned down in 1969, may be visible for the first time in 47 years — if you have the right equipment that is. A group of SIU students and faculty are using a new ground-penetrating radar unit to survey the area where Old Main once stood, hoping to find the foundation of the burned building. Mark Wagner, director of the SIU Center for Archaeological Investigations, said the device, which looks like an iPad strapped to a lawnmower, was acquired in fall with the help of a $30,000 research grant. SIU was founded as Southern Illinois Normal College, a single-building campus, in 1869. That original building burned down in 1882 and Old Main was built in its place between 1885 and 1887. Old Main then followed suit, being burned down by

suspected arsonists 100 years later about the time that student riots were taking place. Almost 47 years later, Wagner said this is the first time anyone has surveyed the remaining foundation. “Our office is right over there in Faner,” Wagner said pointing across the area surveyed in between Davies Gym and Shryock Auditorium. “We’re only five minutes away. So, we can very easily ... bring this machine out here and we can involve the students in actual research.” The spot being surveyed starts where the northeast corner of Old Main once stood. He said the machine, which can survey to depths of 40 feet below the surface, cannot differentiate what it sees underground, but should still allow them to sketch out the foundation. “There will be a lot of disturbance at the top because of the demolition and the tree

roots, but if it gets down to about six feet, it will show the plan of that building, which will be the first time anyone has seen it since 1969,” Wagner said. Water pipes won’t appear any different from the foundation, but since the group is surveying beyond the believed edge of the building, they can map out the remnants of Old Main. “Hopefully, what it will show in the three-dimensional map, it will show that corner of the building,” he said. Wagner, also an associate professor of anthropology, said the 21 students of his Anthropology 240C class and several members from the CAI were a part of the crew. He said the integration of the project with the class is a way to benefit students who graduate and want to work in archaeology. Please see MAIN | 4

Rauner criticizes Madigan, Democrats for leaving Springfield BILL LUKITSCH @Bill_LukitschDE

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner continued to rail Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan for Illinois’ budget impasse during a Statehouse news conference Tuesday. Rauner said Democrats took a “one-month vacation” despite efforts of Republican legislators to stay in Springfield and negotiate a spending plan as the state lags through eight months with no budget. “It’s wrong,” Rauner said. “They should get back here and do their jobs.” The governor called for Democratic legislative leaders to quit passing “sham bills,” including those for higher education funding, and instead advance procurement and pension reform legislation. An

estimated $1.5 billion in savings from those measures could be used to fund higher education and human services, Rauner said. “Nobody is on vacation, so that’s a misstatement on his part,” Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said Tuesday. Brown said he found it encouraging the governor spoke about a funding solution for higher education, which has yet to receive any state money. He added that it was embarrassing the way Rauner refused to answer questions fielded by reporters regarding dark money and personal campaign contributions in the weeks leading up to the Illinois primary.

Yenitza Melgoza | @YenirzaM_DE Sydnie Staley, 9, of Carbondale, practices on a beam Tuesday at the Southern Illinois Gymnastics Academy. Staley is an all-around gymnast who has been in gymnastics for six years and competing for three. “When she first started off we were wanting her to be in something that would get her acclimated in with other children,” said Kelly Staley, Sydnie’s mom. “She was a monkey on the furniture so might as well move her into the gym.” Kelly said her daughter has learned a lot competing as an individual and as a team. “I started watching the Olympics and said ‘I want to do that someday,’ so I started practicing and trying really hard,” Sydnie said. “Gymnastics is really fun and it’s my favorite sport.”

Tears lead to protest

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Lori Fischer, right, a student at John A. Logan College from Blairsville studying medical billing and coding, hands Marcus Patterson, left, a student at John A. Logan College from Carbondale studying heating and air conditioning, a blank petition to take to his classes to be signed by his classmates. The petition urged Illinois legislators to pass a state budget. Fischer and Ashley Richardson, a student from Dowell studying to be a medical administrative assistant, have organized several events this week protesting the layoffs: a sit-in on Monday, petition signing that will be occurring until Thursday and a picket rally Friday in front of the Administration Building. Last Tuesday, Fischer walked into class after hearing about the 55 faculty that would be laid off. She asked her teacher if she was one of the 55 and her teacher responded that she was. “She looked at us and said, ‘Yeah, I got my pink slip today and started crying,’” Fischer said. “I just needed to do something, I couldn’t sit back and let my teacher cry.”

Author enhances knowledge on post-traumatic slave syndrome DIAMOND JONES | DAILY EGYPTIAN

While many students have learned about slavery in the context of the 19th century, a respected historian visited campus to talk about its effects on contemporary black people. The second week of the university's celebration of Women’s History Month kicked off with a seminar by international author, researcher and educator Joy DeGruy, who enlightened SIU students about post-traumatic slave syndrome. “We haven’t unlearned from the past and we can’t fix what we don’t understand,” DeGruy said Monday when asked why young people have never heard of PTSS. She said it was coined to explain the trauma black people face because of past circumstances of African-Americans. DeGruy, who holds a master's degree in social work and another in clinical psychology, studies adaptation and behaviors of black communities and people. Her research stems from past events that affect black people today,

some of which refer to violence caused by anger and racist socialization. She said she believes the guilt felt by white people prevents telling stories of the AfricanAmerican past. “[Black people] have a hard time admitting [white] people who act out of racist behavior know what they’re doing because it’s on purpose, and it’s always been that way,” said the Rev. Joseph Brown, a professor in the department of Africana studies. “The law and the constitution wasn’t written for or on our behalf, and despite that and everything the black culture has experienced, we have to come up with a solution as to how we can accept it’s not our fault.” DeGruy and Brown said black history should be taught as American history — not as something separate. Brown said students “haven’t been given the correct diagnosis for their unanswered questions and the lack of black history being taught generally.” Members of SIU's NAACP Registered Student Organization,

along with other students, were also in attendance for the threehour seminar and expressed their thoughts and reactions to DeGruy’s lecture. Ciara Maxwell, president of SIU's NAACP chapter, said she notices differences in stereotypes of black and white women in everything from appearance to motherhood. “My anger roots from what I’m not being taught when I know that it should be taught,” said Maxwell, a senior from Memphis, Tenn., studying exercise science. The seminar came to an end as DeGruy spoke about the effects of the water crisis in Flint, Mich., Hurricane Katrina and other social issues she wrote about in her book, “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.” “No one should lack a sense of worth or respect or carry low selfesteem,” she said. “Every person in this room is the undefeated. So don’t sit in a room and pretend to not be.” Diamond Jones can be reached at djones@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Unearthing Old Main

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSukyo_DE Nathan Meissner, an SIU graduate with his Ph.D. in archaeology, measures ground distance during an archeological site examination Tuesday at the site of the Old Main building. “We’re using the ground penetrating radar to send electromagnetic waves into the ground,” said Meissner, a current research associate. “[The waves] reflect back if there are any materials in the ground so we would know where to excavate. It takes out the guesswork. We’re looking for foundation possibility. It would be really great to find old cisterns.”

MAIN CONTINUED FROM

Emily Sample, a freshman from Rochester, Minn., studying anthropology, said the experience gained from the project benefits her more than learning theory in a classroom. “If you actually want to go into archaeology, which is something I’m considering, this hands-on knowledge is something that would separate me from all of my competitors,” Sample said. “I got this in school — I didn’t have to go to an outside source to get it.” Surveying must be as precise as can be because, as Sample said, the digging part of archaeology is destructive. Wagner said an excavation of the site is possible, but it would not happen this year and would have to be integrated into a future class. He said this technology is not intended primarily for archaeologists, but is also used for surveying underground pipelines during construction. At a recent training session, a private contractor told Wagner he was out searching for buried gasoline tanks at the Idaho estate of three-time Academy Award winning actress Meryl Streep. Nathan Meissner, a research associate with the center, said the project was great not only to get out the hot and tick-infested forests of Guatemala and Mexico he previously surveyed, but also to help SIU students remember what used to occupy the now spacious quad near the statue of former SIU President Delyte Morris. “It’s kind of the revered legend that everyone talks about,” said Meissner, who earned his doctorate from SIU in 2014. “There’s the whole thing that it’s still considered to be an open investigation, that they thought it was an arson. Firefighters said they smelled some sort of propellant within it. I think it’s one of these things that people have just forgotten about because this quad looks so open.” Wagner said he hopes to create a campus-wide archaeological project with the new device. “It benefits the students greatly because I can sit in my office all day long and talk to them about ground-penetrating radar and they would not understand it,” he said. “As opposed to actually operating the machine and running it.” Meissner said the data will be finalized in a few days.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

endorsement of Stratton mucks up a murky primary race CHICAGO TRIBUNE EDITORIAL BOARD

News alert: Obama backs challenger in Democratic primary for state rep. That's news, all right, but not because America has been waiting eagerly for the president to pick a horse in the Illinois 5th House District. When was the last time the president of the United States endorsed a candidate in a state legislative race? "I'm Barack Obama. I'm asking you to vote for Democrat Juliana Stratton for state representative." In the TV and radio ads, which began airing Monday, Obama praises Stratton for her work to improve the juvenile justice system and says she will "fight to get guns off our streets." That's a grownup take on the race, which has mostly played out as a proxy war between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, whose allies are bankrolling incumbent Rep. Ken Dunkin, and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, who's trying to oust Dunkin for breaking ranks on key votes. Dunkin has tried to spin himself as a bipartisan statesman — and even to suggest that the president singled him out as such in a Feb. 10 speech to the General Assembly. Dunkin's own radio ads incorporate snippets of that address and end with what is meant to sound like a presidential nod of approval: "We'll talk later, Dunkin." (The rest of that curt rebuke, of course, was "Sit down.") So yes, Obama wants you to know that Juliana Stratton will "fight for tougher penalties for violent offenders." He also wants you to know that he did not endorse Ken Dunkin. As it happens, the Tribune endorsed neither. We found Dunkin's antics brash and self-serving and Stratton disappointingly timid. She chickened out of a face-to-face endorsement session with her opponent and wouldn't even complete our candidate survey to tell voters where she stands on the issues. So thank you, Mr. President, for helping voters sort out this troublesome race. Now, who are your picks for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District?

Like the Oscars, #PhilosophySoWhite MYISHA CHERRY AND ERIC SCHWITZGEBEL LOS ANGELES TIMES

Academic philosophy in the United States has a diversity problem. No other discipline of comparable size in the humanities is as gender-skewed as philosophy. Women still receive only about 28 percent of philosophy Ph.Ds in the United States, and are still only about 20 percent of full professors of philosophy — numbers that have hardly budged since the 1990s. And among U.S. citizens and permanent residents receiving philosophy Ph.Ds in this country, 86 percent are non-Hispanic white. The only comparably-sized disciplines that are more white are the ones that explicitly focus on the European tradition, such as English literature. Black people are especially difficult to find in academic philosophy. Black people or African-Americans constitute 13 percent of the U.S. population, 7 percent of Ph.D. recipients across all fields, 2 percent of Ph.D. recipients in philosophy, and less than 0.5 percent of authors in the most prominent philosophy journals. One of the main causes of homogeneity in philosophy, we believe, is subjectivity and bias in the evaluation of philosophical quality. What makes some works of philosophy good and others meh? It's not straightforward. In biology, you synthesize the protein or you don't. In math, you prove the long-standing conjecture. It's not always entirely clear in these fields what separates the good from the meh, but there are substantial external standards and constraints. Philosophy, in contrast, is partly about challenging existing standards. We admire philosophers whose central arguments are nearly impossible to understand, or who speak in paradoxes, who accept seemingly bizarre views, or who display dazzling skill with formal logical structures of no practical significance. Kant and Hegel are better loved than understood. It's almost aesthetic, the assessment of philosophical quality. And like aesthetic judgments, it's shaped by a huge range of factors: how well the view fits with your hopes

and preconceptions, whether it's argued with confidence and flair, how clever or wise the author seems, how much other people admire the author. Whether a work is even read as a work of philosophy — rather than literature, religion, or journalism — depends partly on the author's social position and whether its topic and writing style fit disciplinary expectations. Potentially interesting work is disqualified, on unclear grounds, before the question of "good or meh" even arises. Similarly unclear are our grounds for assessing campus speakers and students in the classroom. Whom do you perk up and listen to? Whom do you credit with brilliance and insight? In philosophy, the line between the foolish and the unconventional-but-clever is hard to locate. To a substantial extent, what we assess is whether the person who is expressing the ideas in question sounds smart. If you're going to convince someone to take your perplexing, paradoxical ideas seriously, or if you're going to convince them that your impenetrable prose is worth the struggle, you had better first convince them that you're wicked smart. Being good at seeming smart is perhaps the central disciplinary skill for philosophers. This might explain why no academic discipline is more obsessed with the intelligence of its practitioners than philosophy. The philosopher Sarah-Jane Leslie and her colleagues recently asked faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from around the country to what extent they thought their discipline required a special aptitude "that just can't be taught." Philosophers agreed with such statements more than scholars in any other subject area. Unfortunately, seeming smart is not a level playing field. In our culture, white men, especially white men from privileged backgrounds, have a large advantage in displaying the superficial features that attract high expectations. Social psychologists have demonstrated that identical resumes are rated more highly when the applicant is white or male than when the applicant is black or female. Emails from

prospective graduate students are more likely to receive a reply if sent by someone with a stereotypically white male name than if sent by a woman or ethnic minority. Interviewers tend to credit black and dark-skinned Latino subjects with less intelligence, even when the interview answers are the same. In a recent study of biology students, anthropology doctoral candidate Daniel Z. Grunspan and colleagues found that male students were perceived by their peers as having a better understanding of the classroom material than their female classmates, even when controlling for grades and outspokenness in class. It's not that white men are innately better philosophers than women and people of color. It's that white men have better command of the cultural apparatus of seeming smart. As undergraduates, they enter the classroom with more self-confidence. They see faces like their own in front of the classroom and hear voices like their own coming from professors' mouths. In the philosophy classroom, they see almost exclusively white men as examples of great philosophers. They think "that's me" and they step into it. Those around them, their professors and fellow students, see them and think that person sounds smart – and these students are then further encouraged. When women and people of color do advance professionally, their colleagues may still not perceive them as sounding especially smart — a problem that's compounded if they decide not to confine themselves to traditional academic approaches. For example, if they choose to write for a popular rather than an academic audience or if they engage with thinkers outside of the mainstream canon. It's a double whammy. Before one writes or opens one's mouth, cultural biases favor white men over others. After the words come out, cultural biases favor a certain style. The next time you're tempted to dismiss a piece of writing — not just a work of philosophy, but any work that requires subjective evaluation — consider that your judgment likely reflects a range of influences that are difficult to see, many of them probably unlovely, culturally specific, and unrelated to intrinsic value.

Sw a mpers

Lady BugS If you’ve lived on campus in your time at Southern, you’ve probably had a few ladybugs somehow enter your room. They’re all ready in your life at home, why not cheer them on in games?

Campus Lake has become Carbondale’s favorite swamp recently with the toxic algae growing in it. Becoming the Swampers would connect students to campus, even its gross parts. ERN ILLINOI S UTH SO

SoutherBnrewe r With more than 10 breweries and wineries in the southern Illinois area, why not reflect the alcohol culture of the area? If Milwaukee can do it with its MLB team, why can’t the Dirty Dale with its MVC teams?

With a whole pitching staff to become familiar with and no veteran catcher to help, joining a new baseball team as a catcher can be overwhelming. That was the case for SIU catchers Nick Hutchins and Taylor Martin when they joined the Salukis as a freshman and transfer junior in 2015. Now, with a year of experience with most of the pitchers, their responsibilities have expanded. Pitching coach P.J. Finigan called pitches from the dugout last season to lessen the responsibilities on Hutchins and Martin, flashing them signals corresponding to a chart on a wristband. This year, they have bypassed that step and put down their own signs. "I feel like it gives us a better relationship with the pitchers," Hutchins said. "We came in last year and we didn't really have that relationship right away. Coach Finigan's really helped us a lot, letting us know what to say when we go out to the mound to have positive effects and what to look for in guys' swings." Finigan said having Hutchins and Martin calling pitches without peering into the dugout for his sign allows him to do more as a coach. "I can look ahead a little bit more," Finigan said. "I can focus on what's

going on in the game. It allows me to break down the hitters a little bit more, and that way I can help [the pitchers] adjust game plans between innings a lot more than I could last year." The two catchers now have a year of experience catching most of the pitchers on the Saluki staff. Newcomer Joey Marciano said Hutchins and Martin have learned his repertoire as well. "Whatever they've been throwing down, I have no problem throwing it," said the transfer junior lefthanded starter. "They know me pretty well as a pitcher, so pretty much whatever they call, I'm going to throw." Hutchins has caught 55 innings on the season heading into SIU’s game Tuesday. In those innings, Saluki pitchers have posted a 2.62 earned run average and a 1.4/1 strikeout to walk ratio. In 43 innings with Martin behind the plate, pitchers have a 5.02 ERA and strike out 2.8 batters for every man they walk. "It's benefitted the catching and pitching staff as a whole," Martin said. "It makes the game go a lot quicker. It's a lot more smooth, rather than having to pick up signs in between each pitch."

With four student-athletes receiving citations this academic year alone, Salukis have been making news for the wrong reasons. Becoming the jailbirds would reflect that.

Why not trade in an uncommonly seen dog as a mascot for the campus’ most common animal?

We know Indiana State is named the Sycamores, but Terre Haute, Ind., only has one sycamore, located in the university president’s yard. SIU has more sycamores in front of Neckers than ISU has in its entire city.

Three women named to MVC academic team TED WARD | @TEDWARD_DE

Three SIU women's basketball players were named to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete team on Tuesday. Redshirt junior guard Rishonda Napier and junior forward Kim Nebo were named to the first team and sophomore guard Kylie Giebelhausen was named to the honorablemention squad.

This is Napier's second time being honored as she was named to the second team last season. An economics major, Napier racked up a 3.51 GPA while starting all 30 games and leading the team in scoring. Her 15.1 points per game are eighth in the MVC while her 3.7 assists per game are fourth. Nebo held a perfect 4.0 while majoring in biological sciences and pre-pharmacy. She has started 21 games for the Salukis and appeared

in all 30. Nebo is averaging five points and 5.4 rebounds a game. Giebelhausen boasts a 3.52 cumulative GPA as she majors in exercise science and prephysical therapy. She has started all 30 games this season and is averaging 9.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, which leads conference guards. For a player to be considered for the honor, she must be a starter or a key reserve

who has played in 75 percent of the team's games, and have above a 3.20 grade-point average. The trio currently have a combined 3.68 GPA. All three will be in action against Loyola at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the MVC Tournament in Moline, Ill. Ted Ward can be reached at tward@dailyegyptian.com or 618-534-3303
