Posing for a senior project Jorden Thomas, a senior from Galesburg studying biology, poses as Alyssa Carter, a senior from Chicago studying phtogography, uses a light meter to check the exposure of her lighting setup. Carter is working on her senior portfolio, which will be a collection of diptychs. A diptych is two images placed sideby-side, which are usually related to one another. Each diptych will be a black and white portrait of a subject with another photograph of a handwritten letter the subject wrote next to it. The portraits will portray the subject as confident, juxtaposed with the handwritten letters describing their insecurities. “My goal is not to exploit the subjects, they are my friends” Carter said. “By writing their own letters they are sharing only the information they want to share.”

Gender inequality was so prevalent in the 1950s, women at certain universities were not allowed to own keys to their own dorms. If they were not back by curfew, the school punished them. The fight for gender equality on college campuses has been a work-in-progress since the early 1940s, and even though the issues have changed, there is still a lack of symmetry. According to Merrian-Webster’s website, feminism is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. But, to Kelly Sartorius, co-chair of the Advanced Development for Deans, feminism historically means women’s rights to citizenship. Sartorius, who is also director of development at Washington University in St. Louis, will present from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 752 and 754 in the Morris Library. Sartorius’ research in feminism focuses on the college atmosphere of men and women before the late 1960s. “We’ve come a long way in terms of women’s access to graduate school, access to careers, sciences, engineering and business,” Sartorius said. Many schools were separated into men’s colleges and women’s colleges in the early 20th century, especially in the northeast and southern schools, she said. She said women at large public schools in the West and Midwest were much more progressive, and most of them had co-education. “They had separate student lives,” she said. “The women had a women’s building… but the place where [men and women] were always together in the West and Midwest was the classroom.” Although this was more common during the turn of the 20th century, the same concept continued into the early 1960s, but in the form of career planners. She said men had blue sign-up papers and women had pink. The blue papers would advise careers as professors or lab scientists, and the pink papers would be similar, but might suggest careers as lab assistants instead. “It would have been totally normal in the 1950s to enroll students for chemistry 101 and fill up the class with all the men,” she said. “If there’s seven seats left, then you can enroll women.” Please see WOMEN ·3
Rep. Aaron Schock is resigning his seat in Congress, saying in a statement issued Tuesday that “constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction” and have made it “too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th district. The 33-year-old Illinois Republican from Peoria had been considered a rising star in Washington, but has been dogged by controversy over spending of campaign and taxpayer money. Schock’s statement read as follows: “Today, I am announcing my resignation as a Member of the United States House of Representatives effective March 31st. “I do this with a heavy heart. Serving the people of the 18th District is the highest and greatest honor I have had in my life. I thank them for their faith in electing me and letting me represent their interests in Washington. I have given them my all over the last six years. I have traveled to all corners of the District to meet with the people I’ve been fortunate to be able to call my friends and neighbors. “But the constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself. “I have always sought to do what’s best for my constituents and I thank them for

As he came under increasing scrutiny in the last six weeks the lawmaker enlisted two veteran Washington lawyers for an internal review of his office and political operation. Considered an adept practitioner of social media, his many posts of photos of himself in far-flung locales fueled controversy over how he was spending his time and money.

SIUE nursing school makes national listing Elizabeth Donald

A focus on developing nurse practitioners, anesthetists and educators has put the graduate nursing school at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on a national listing for the first time. While the university as a whole has appeared in U.S. News and World Report’s lists of the best colleges in the country for many years, this is the first time the SIUE School of Nursing has appeared in the listing of the nation’s best graduate schools. The SIUE School of Nursing is among the top 25 percent of nursing graduate schools nationwide and is listed at No. 122, according to the 2016 edition. Dr. Laura Bernaix, interim dean of the
nursing school, said it is “an honor” to be included. “As the school continues to mature and expand, we fully expect that our students’ education experience will continuously improve, our research efforts will heighten and the school’s positive impact in our community and throughout the region will be dramatic.” Bernaix said the nurses who pursue graduate-level degrees at SIUE generally are studying to become nurse practitioners, often part of family practices, who take on many of the duties of a medical doctor, including writing prescriptions. Others become nurse anesthetists in cases requiring anesthesia, or nurse educators, prepared to teach in nursing schools. They also can pursue

His penchant for travel has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks, ever since The Washington Post described his “Downton Abbey” redesign of his congressional office. Schock subsequently repaid $40,000 from his personal checking account for the redecorating work, The Associated Press reported. The lawmaker still faces allegations that he did not properly account for his trips and did not conform to requirements on the use of private aircraft.

a nursing administrator degree, which helps nurses take leadership roles in health care systems, she said. Allyson Anderson has just completed her first year of graduate study to become a nurse anesthetist. She received her bachelor’s degree from SIUE as well but had to work two and a half years in an intensive-care unit before she could even apply for the graduate school. As the spring semester draws to a close, she is planning her clinical practicum. “What I like most about the program is that there are 25 or so clinical sites for anesthesia, from Quincy to Carbondale,” she said. “We get a wide array of experience, which is what drew to me to SIUE in the first place.” Please see NURSING · 2
