Black leaders on Research labs filled with energy campus meet to discuss violence at events, racism TIERRA CARPENTER | @TIERRAMC_
A group of the campus' black student leaders met Wednesday to discuss ways to cut down violence at SIU's predominantly black events. Michael Smith, a senior from Chicago studying political science, organized a meeting with about a dozen of his peers to discuss solutions following fights and a shooting at events over the last few semesters. Smith, president of Black Male Roundtable — a registered student organization designed to give African-American males the opportunity to congregate in a safe place — said the violence at these events has remained unaddressed and he sees it as his responsibility to bring the issue to light. He said there are almost eight large events coming up that could potentially become violent. He said these events include Greek-sponsored gatherings such as Stroll like an Iota, Kappa Karnival, Stroll like a Kappa, Kappa Klassic, Players Ball, March of Dimes, the Lil Bibby and Lil Herb concert and a possible variety show. During the meeting Smith suggested he and the other campus leaders help police these events. "Students themselves have certain knowledge of other students our age or non-students our age, we see certain things that administrators might not see or we see certain things that police officers might not see, and we also know certain things," he said. "I feel as though that since we do possess that knowledge, and we have a certain ability in order to prevent things from happening." Jasmine Easter, a senior from Country Club Hills studying psychology, said she doesn’t attend most of these gatherings because of her age and the possibility of violence. "As leaders on this campus … we do self-police in our own situations," said Easter, president of the Association of Black Psychologists. "That’s something that’s great in itself, but I don’t think the responsibility is on every organization to self-police every event, because me personally, I don’t go out every weekend. I don’t go to these events. I'm not going to start to go just to self-police." Smith, who said he will continue to attend black-led events, he wants other campus leaders to be observant and to verbally defuse situations before they escalate. Most of his peers at the meeting were not receptive to the idea — saying they lack training and fear putting themselves in harm's way. However, Smith said he will still take it upon himself to be more vigilant and say something to those in authority, if needed. Other students proposed checking people at the door for weapons and hosting opportunities for students to learn more about the results of violence and how it affects the reputation of minorities on campus. "You can pat people down at the door and let them in, but you can’t stop them from bringing a gun outside," Smith said. "As far as the event that goes on inside, you also can’t stop a fight that happens just because you patted people down. There needs to be extra steps taken." Creyana Towner, a sophomore from Chicago studying accounting, said the solutions to the issue need to be more thought out.

DE Poll: How is the budget impasse affecting you? ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre
Seventy percent of SIU students think the Illinois budget stalemate has directly affected their university experience, according to a straw poll conducted this month by the Daily Egyptian. The anonymous poll, conducted April 1 through April 5 collected 970 student responses, many of whom expressed concern for the university's financial state. "It has increased the stress levels in my department, leading to more tension and increased negative interactions among faculty, as well as between faculty and students," one respondent wrote. "It also caused my main professor to retire, and is making recruitment of new students incredibly difficult. It has been a great source of concern and a distraction that has taken away from my educational experience." "I'm a graduate student, and I am fearful that my program will be cut or I will not be funded to teach next year," a student said. "This is distracting and counterproductive to both my student duties (learning, test taking, projects) and my teaching. Graduate school is stressful enough." April begins the 10th month without a
state budget thanks to a stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic legislators, causing many state programs and universities to be affected. State colleges and universities have not received any state money since July 1. Many students directed their anger toward Rauner. "Attempts of our governor to cut educational funding as an approach towards [sic] balancing the Illinois budget shows extreme shortsightedness," a student wrote. "Education is one of the best ways to encourage progress in a variety of industries as well as enhancing economic growth. Clearly governor Rauner doesn't recognize these benefits." Students' jobs have been affected as well. "Funding for research has dramatically decreased and led to my paid research position to not be funded like I was promised," a student wrote. "In turn I have to find a job to cover expenses I have during the school year." Of the almost 1,000 students who responded, nearly half said they are or have been Monetary Award Program grant recipients and almost a third of those respondents said they will not be able to attend SIU in the fall without the grant.
"I am a single mother with little income, living with my son and disabled mother," one woman wrote. "Without this grant, there is no way I will be able to afford college. This grant is vital to my education." MAP grants — which are supposed to be state funded — are awarded on a need basis to help students finance their education. The university has not received any money for the grants and has suggested students may have to repay the grants if the budget impasse isn't resolved. At least one student said MAP grant funding is not among the most important aspects of the funding shortage. "With all of the state's university's struggles with the budget cuts, the MAP grants should be at the bottom of the priority list," another said. "There are several things more important. Keep more teachers, and quit letting kids go to school on my income." When asked about how well-informed they thought they were about the state budget impasse, 22 percent of respondents said they felt very informed, 57 percent said they felt sort of informed, and the rest said they were either not well-informed or unsure.

"This state has no money and we've gotten comfortable living above our means," another wrote. "We finally have a chance to restart and set things right before we plummet into a position where the only option is bankruptcy. As tough and sad as it might be, it is necessary to take a new approach." What the university does know is that their new spending approach will take even more hits. Under Rauner's proposed fiscal year 2017 budget, the campus could experience nearly $23 million in cuts, SIU President Randy Dunn said in an email to faculty and staff last month.
One student said, “It has been very discouraging to come to campus every day with the thought in mind that my program, the classes I need and want to take, and the faculty in my program could be cut or significantly reduced by next fall." "I was born in a different country and came to the United States to pursue 'The American Dream' and receive an education to one day provide my future family what my family could not provide me. My parents gave up vacations, the luxury of new vehicles, and many more family events to be able to provide the little currency they could to pay for education..." another said. "Budget cuts for education should be the last resort."
Many of the 300 students who commented said they felt as if the state government did not care about their education, and said they no longer plan to stay in Illinois long term. "Taking money away from education is like burning your house down to keep warm. In the short term it may work, but in the long term you'll end up with an uneducated populace," another said. The unscientific poll was conducted on SurveyMonkey thanks to funding from the Paul Simon Public Policy Insitute.

Short poems and good vibes
Aidan Osborne | @Aidian Osborne_DE Shionda Carlisle, a junior from Belleville studying social work, grabs a poem off the poetry wall Monday near the north entrance of Morris Library. The poetry wall, which consists of short poems written on sticky notes, is a way for the library and its patrons to recognize Poetry Month. Signs on the wall inform people passing by to stop, read the short poems and to then write their own. Carlisle and her friends stopped by the wall because they thought it looked interesting. “It made my day,” Carlisle said. “It was an easy way to get positive vibes.”
SIU celebrates its first Energy Day TYLER CROTZER | @TylerCrotzer_DE
From the electricity that travels through power grids into homes, to batteries in phones which keep people connected, energy is essential to maintaining the function of everyday life. To educate people about where this energy comes from and how it can be used more efficiently, SIU celebrated its first Energy Day on Wednesday by hosting an event that explored new technologies in the field. Here are some of the important topics covered: The future of solar energy Kyle Plunkett, professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry, and his team in the organic chemistry lab are working on creating organic materials that could be used in electronic devices. Their work focuses on separating and purifying these materials from base solutions to create semiconductors, which can be used to conduct electricity. One of the most promising applications is to use these semiconductors in organic solar panels. While these materials are not quite as efficient as synthetic ones, they would drastically cut down production price, researchers say. “With these materials we could print solar cells like a printing press prints newspapers,” said Sam Bheemireddy, a fourth-year doctoral student from India
working with Plunkett. The applications of these semiconductors is not limited to solar panels though. Flexible LED screens could also be produced that would create a new market of devices, he said. The future of coal Yanna Laing, associate professor for the department of civil and environmental engineering, and her laboratory are experimenting with mixing a specifically designed solution with ground coal to create methane gas that can be used as a source of energy. When burned, methane is more environmentally friendly than coal. In a world focused on reducing emissions but still grounded in coal, she said finding new uses for it is crucial. “All sources of energy are going to be relevant in the clean energy economy of the future,” said Christopher Smith, assistant secretary of fossil energy for the U.S. Department of Energy. “Finding ways to reduce the impact of coal production is going to be critically important for environmental sustainability in the United States.” SIU’s impact on a global scale Smith, who manages the largest oil reserves in the world, addressed a nearly full auditorium about the foreseeable future of energy in the world and the position the U.S. should take. At environmental talks in December in Paris, 190 countries brought plans to address sources of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Smith said even if all 190 countries follow up on their strategies, it will not be enough to avoid a 2-degree warming of our planet. “We have number of collaborations between this university and the national energy technology laboratory, which is the national lab that does fossil energy technologies, so we do a lot of work here in southern Illinois,” Smith said. “The work that we envision, that we think of, it gets done here in programs like this one.” Smith said the energy problem is difficult to solve because of the large scale, slow pace of progress and coordination between all sectors in different places around the world, but progress is being made. The U.S. must be one of those countries leading the way in energy, he said. “It is those countries that build, that create, that innovate, that invent, that invest in their universities, that invest in their intellectual capabilities and come up with solutions that ensure we’re able to meet our energy needs in the future,” Smith said. “An important part of that is making sure that we use all forms of energy; wind, solar, biofuels and importantly, coal and natural gas. My concern is not that we are doing too much, but that we are doing too little.” Tyler Crotzer can be reached at tcrotzer@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Senators Questions for cops praise, but won’t vote for SCOTUS selection LISA MASCARO TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU
The Republican blockade of President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee shows no signs of cracking, even as senators who have met with Judge Merrick Garland find little not to like in the seasoned jurist. On Tuesday, Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine heaped praise on Garland after an hourlong private session in which they discussed the Second Amendment, executive reach and the role of the court. "The meeting left me more convinced than ever the process should proceed," Collins said outside her office. "If more of my colleagues sit down with Judge Garland, they're going to be impressed with him." But neither confirmation hearings nor a Senate vote is expected. It's a strategy engineered by Republican leaders to deny Obama's influence on the court, but that also risks dragging the confrontation battle into the election year, when voters will decide which party controls the Senate. Republican senators are under enormous pressure from conservative activists to prevent the court's balance, now split 4-4, from tilting toward a Democratic nominee following the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia. But polls show most Americans disapprove of the blockade, which will probably keep the court shorthanded well into 2017. As lawmakers returned to Washington on Tuesday after their spring break, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., noted that all but two GOP senators — referring to Collins and Mark Kirk of Illinois — are backing his strategy to leave the vacancy for the next president to fill. "It is safe to say there will be no
hearings or votes," McConnell said. The political strains of the Senate's inaction, though, have begun to show on some senators. One other Republican, Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, had joined Collins and Kirk in calling for consideration of Garland's nomination, only to scale back his position in the face of political pushback that could include a primary challenge. Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has faced repeated questions about his refusal to convene hearings. This week, he announced that he has invited Garland to a breakfast meeting. The White House has always envisioned a long-game strategy that nudges senators first to take meetings, then to hold hearings and, eventually, to cast a confirmation vote. But Democrats acknowledged Tuesday the tough road ahead as most Republican senators have been willing to stick with McConnell's no-vote approach. "Sadly, so far, it seems to be working," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. They pointed to the situation in Kansas, home base for the powerful Koch brothers, whose network funds many conservative causes, as influencing senators. "They're being reeled in, one by one, and that's too bad," said Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the minority leader. So far 14 senators have met with Garland, including three Republicans — Collins, Kirk and, on Tuesday, John Boozman of Arkansas, who is up for re-election in the fall.

According to Kazmi, an intern with the marketing department at the Student Center, the event was an opportunity for students to be informed about what they can do to be safe on campus. To receive food, participants were required to interact with police officers from SIU’s Department of Public Safety by asking questions about campus safety or sexual assaults. If a student could not think of a question to ask, he or she was provided with one. Some of the provided questions included defining consent and whether or not sexual assaults can be reported anonymously.
Local group, sorority hosts concert for student scholarship DIAMOND JONES | DAILY EGYPTIAN
Chicago rappers Lil Bibby and G Herbo, who rose to fame after a song they did in high school gained 15 million views on YouTube, will perform at SIU to raise money for a Carbondale Community High School student to attend college. The duo, along with other up-and-coming musicians from Chicago, will perform at 7 p.m. Friday at Shryock Auditorium. Each ticket purchased for the concert will go toward the Dopamine Effect Scholarship, which gives a $500 scholarship to a CCHS student. Students will be selected by Ryan Reed Sr., CEO of Can I Live, LLC, based on an essay they write about how they would help fix a societal issue. Can I Live, which sponsors the scholarship and is presenting the concert, provides programs and services that helps marginalized groups and minority communities deal with a wealth of issues including, depression, violence and adjusting to cultural norms. "I originally knew I wanted to create a scholarship," said Reed, an SIU alumnus from Flossmoor. "Carbondale has been going through tough times and this event is to help heal the soul while
also giving back to the community and giving students something positive to look forward to." The auditorium holds 1,100 people, and a sold-out show is expected, said Ashley Wright, director of special event ticketing for Shryock. Wright said people have been buying tickets throughout the week, potentially making this will be one of the campus' most successful events of the year. Reed said with the help of his business partners George Anderson and Law Cannon, they were able to persuade the rappers to give a performance. The Zeta Phi Beta sorority helped organize the event and is co-sponsoring the concert. "What made us want to be involved was the scholarship, and we wanted to be able to help in any way possible," said Kezia Darring, chapter president of Zeta Phi Beta and the National PanHellenic Council. Darring also said Greek life students wanted to show that it's not their events that cause violence — it's individuals' decisions. Darring was referring to a party associated with a fraternity that ended in a shooting that killed a 41-year-old Carbondale man last month. No SIU students have been named as suspects in the case. "Our community is SIU and
SIU’s community is Carbondale, and as soon as we stop separating the two, the more harmony we will have," said Darring, a senior from Chicago studying marketing. With both Lil Bibby and G Herbo coming from the streets of Chicago, Reed said music is their outlet and many students can relate. He said people support these artists from rough backgrounds because they connect to their lyrics. "It’s also about artists on the come up who want to be involved and still represent their community," said Reed, a therapist who helps people with substance abuse issues and mental health problems. "People think rapping and sports are just a way out of certain circumstances, but what they don’t understand is that it helps further education as well." Full security and staff will be monitoring event as well as the Carbondale Police Department. Tickets for the event is $30 for floor seats and $20 for balcony seats. "If people are able to see others purchasing tickets, they will know that it will contribute to a high school student being able to go to college," Reed said.

A day of drama
M ORGAN T IMMS | @M ORGAN _T IMMS Cody Walker, a lecturer of musical theater, teaches high school students a dance move from the musical “Cats” on Wednesday during a dance workshop in the Marion Kleinau Theater as part of the annual Drama Daze event. Hosted by SIU’s theater department, Drama Daze is a day of theater workshops and performances for southern Illinois high school students. This year the event drew a total of 287 students from 12 schools. “It’s a great opportunity for the students to get to know the program,” Walker said. “They can see the campus, meet the faculty and students and experience how it really feels to be in the space. … I’ve always loved musical theater the more I got to know it and I like helping to shape the next generation of performers.”
The Stage Company presents ‘Enchanted April’ JACOB PIERCE |@JACOBPIERCE1_DE
Even in the 1920s, issues of equality and identity raged on. At 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday, this weekend and next weekend, The Stage Company will present “Enchanted April,” at the Varsity Center for the Arts. This play is written by Matthew Barber, adapted from an Elizabeth von Arnim novel. The Stage Company’s version is directed by Cara Recine. The play revolves around four women, each from different backgrounds, trying to escape their everyday lives. They leave for San Salvatore, Italy, and hope to find themselves. Recine, a retired lifestyle editor for a newspaper, said there is a lot going on in “Enchanted April” when it comes to tone and themes. One aspect many productions focus on is the humor of the situation, she said. This adaptation will focus on more than just the jokes, though. “This play could be seen, and it has been produced before, as a silly little romantic comedy,” Recine said.
She said the play has funny and romantic elements to it. Her version is not going to get away from that, but there is so much more going on in this play than humorous entertaining situations. The play addresses contemporary issues such as women being fulfilled personally, along with the idea of equality. Rebecca Walker, an assistant professor in the communication studies department, is a crossappointed faculty member in women, gender and sexuality studies. She agrees with the relevancy of these issues like women’s identity and equal rights. “I haven’t seen the play, but I understand it’s set around the 1920s and 1930s,” Walker said. “Some of the major issues women still struggle with today involve equal pay, domestic violence/ abuse, access to affordable health care and assistance with childcare.” These topics are thrown into the debates playing out right now, she said. Equal pay, the closing of Planned Parenthood clinics and women’s health centers are just some examples of the evolution of these equality issues.
People will say this is a time of post-feminism, but there is still a need for feminism, Walker said.. Telling women’s stories — especially ones set in another time period — can present what is happening now in a different light, she said. “Studies have shown that people who read literature, as well as those who perform it, have a higher degree of empathy,” she said. “I think that speaks value of literature and performance.” Heather Barnett, an acting teacher, plays Lady Caroline in the play, and said an important aspect to remember is how different “Enchanted April” is from the other shows playing in the area. Barnett said this may be the first time the play has even been performed around here. “This is one people should see, because it is something new,” she said. The Stage Company is brave for putting up a newer show, Barnett said. Picking something older, that is done often is the safer choice. This is not the first time Barnett has participated in “Enchanted April.” She was also in a version

Beane named to Lou Henson All-America team AUSTIN MILLER | @AMILLER_DE
Senior guard Anthony Beane has added another accolade before his graduation. Beane was named to the 31-person 2016 Lou Henson All-America team by CollegeInsider.com. The Normal native was second
in scoring in the Missouri Valley Conference (19.3 points per game), fourth in 3-pointers made (72), ninth in free throw percentage (.768) and tied for ninth in steals (36). He also led the Salukis in scoring, 3-pointers, free throws made and field goals. The Salukis (22-10, 11-7 MVC)
finished fourth in the conference had the program’s best record since 2007-08. Beane was joined by three other MVC players: Wichita State senior guard Ron Baker, Evansville senior guard D.J. Balentine and Evansville senior center Egidijus Mockevicius.
He was named to the midseason watchlist for the Lou Hensen Award, which is given to the nation’s top mid-major player in January. Stephen F. Austin senior guard/forward Thomas Walkup won the award. Walkup lead the Lumberjacks to an upset against No. 3 seed West Virginia
in the NCAA Tournament. SIU will host a postseason celebration at 6 p.m. Thursday at SIU Arena to honor the team and present awards to players. Austin Miller can be reached at amiller@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3333.
Saluki basketball recruits class of 2016 SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE
After having its best season since 2007-08, men’s hoops will have to reload its roster to repeat its success. SIU basketball is losing its No. 3 all-time scorer in Anthony Beane, as well as two post players — centers Ibby Djimde and Deng Leek — to graduation this coming May. In addition, the team had two players, guard Aaron Siler and forward Jeremy Postell, drop from the team midseason. The Dawgs have four players lined up to try to help fill the hole these players leave on the team: Aaron Cook — Westminster (Mo.) Christian Academy After not having a true point guard before last season, next season’s team will have two. Cook, a 6-foot-1 guard, will likely play the backup point guard role behind rising senior Mike Rodriguez. Cook helped lead the Westminster Wildcats to a 19-5 record and a district semifinals appearance. Cook outscored the entire opposing team with 46 points in a 70-38 victory in a game last season. The Wildcat guard received a myriad of honors after the season, including being named Conference Player of the Year, Class IV First Team All-State by the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association and St. Louis NBC affiliate KSDK’s All-Metro team. Cook is one of two future Salukis to sign a letter of intent on national signing day Nov. 11. Brendon Gooch — Belleville Althoff Catholic High School Across the Mississippi river in Belleville, a state champion is coming to SIU. Gooch, the second letter of intent signee, helped lead the Crusaders to the Illinois High
Sean Carley | @SCarleyDE
School Association Class 3A championship with a 30-2 record. He averaged eight points and nine rebounds per game in Althoff’s state tournament run. He was Illinois Class 3A AllState honorable mention the past two seasons. A 6-foot-6 guard, Gooch will add needed length to the Salukis. The former Crusader played for the Southwestern Illinois Jets for travel ball — the same program that current and former Salukis Deion Lavender, Armon Fletcher and Tyler Smithpeters played for.
Jeremy Roscoe — Chicago Uplift / Victory Rock (Bradenton, Fla.) Prep Roscoe is the third guard of the 2016 class, verbally committing Jan. 25. He is currently playing a postgraduate prep year at Victory Rock Preparatory Academy and will still have four years of eligibility. Roscoe’s senior season of high school, his Uplift Community Titans won the IHSA Class 2A championship, going 28-5 on the season. In that campaign, Roscoe
averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game. Thik Bol — Iowa Western Community College The Salukis’ latest commitment is also their tallest. Bol is a 6-foot-8 shot-blocking forward who will have two years of eligbility at SIU. He averaged 10.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game for the Reivers last year. Bol’s freshman year was even more impressive defensively, leading the NJCAA with 4.9
blocks per game. SIU as a team averaged 1.9 blocks per game last season. The former Reiver also earned All-Region XI Second Team in his freshman circuit. After losing Djimde and Leek, Bol seems to be the replacement to their roles. SIU has one more scholarship to hand out for 2016.

Racer rallies do Dawgs in THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE
The Southern Illinois baseball team dropped its final game before the start of conference play, a 7-3 decision at Murray State. Sophomore third baseman Kipp Moore — not to be confused with Nashville recording artist Kip Moore
— doubled, tripled and drove in four runs for as the Racers (15-17) earned the season split with SIU (18-11-1). Both of Moore’s extra-base hits came in three-run innings for Murray State. His second-inning double drove in the game’s first two runs and his fifth-inning triple extended the lead to 6-3.
Junior first baseman Ramsey Scott added a double and two RBIs for the Racers. Junior right-hander Austin Dubsky (3-3, 5.84 ERA) earned the win for Murray State with five innings of three-run baseball with six strikeouts and three walks. Senior righty Bryce Sablotny (2-
3, 6.19 ERA) was hit with the loss after allowing six runs in 4.1 innings with four strikeouts and one walk. Sophomore second baseman Connor Kopach collected a game-high three hits, including a triple to lead off the game, for the Salukis. Kopach drove in a run and scored one himself, and he was the only Saluki to not strike out.
The Salukis return home Friday for the first of a three-game series with Indiana State. Junior lefty Joey Marciano (2-3, 3.79 ERA) will take the mound for Southern. Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307.
