SEMO students indicted

VOL. 100 ISSUE 75

BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

A Jackson County grand jury decided Monday to indict three Southeast Missouri State University students on multiple firearm charges related to a Carbondale shooting incident that killed one and injured another last month. Co-defendants Travis Tyler, 21, of Hazelwood, Mo., and John Ingram, 21, of Webster Groves, Mo., were each indicted on two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm. Both men face a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison if convicted on all counts. The third suspect in the case, Dwayne Dunn Jr., 21, of St. Louis, was indicted on two felony counts for allegedly firing a Smith & Wesson handgun in the air and illegal possession of a firearm under state statutes. Police responded to reports of shots fired about 2 a.m. March 27 in the 400 block of West Walnut Street. Investigating officers learned an altercation at a party led to the shooting. Shots were fired inside and outside the house at 402 W. Walnut St., police said. Tim Beaty, 41, was killed by a stray bullet in his home next door, police said during a press conference March 28. A second victim, Nehemiah Greenlee, was taken to Carbondale Memorial Hospital for a nonlife-threatening injury and later transferred to a St. Louis-area hospital where he was treated, police said. Police are still searching for Daniel D. Holmes, 21, of Carbondale, as a fourth suspect/ He is wanted on felony gun charges for alleged involvement in the shooting. Holmes is also suspected to have participated in a separate incident at Evolve Apartments at SIU, 710 S. Illinois Ave., an apartment complex near campus, where a 19-year-old male victim sustained a gunshot wound to his lower back. Police consider Holmes armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about these incidents is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-COPS (2677).

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_TImms Philip Lessar, 9, paints an apple tree under a rainbow Saturday during the Paint the Town event in the parking lot across from Anna Arts Center. “That’s the rainbow from Noah’s Ark,” Lessar said. “I don’t get to do art much, but I’m pretty good at it.” This is the arts center’s fifth year hosting the event. “To me this is a win-win situation,” said Lee Hackney, the director of Anna Arts Center. “There’s no rules as to what the kids do in their artwork. It’s a time for kids to take color and put it on the concrete and just have fun.”

How changing to a plus-minus grading system affects students TIERRA CARPENTER | @Tierramc_

The Faculty Senate will vote Tuesday on a proposal to implement a plus-minus grading system at SIUC. If the senate passes the proposal, the campus will join the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, the University of Chicago, Western Illinois University and Northern Illinois University in having the grading scale. The proposal, which would be implemented in summer 2018, will move to the administration if passed Tuesday. Stacey Sloboda, co-chair of Faculty Senate’s Undergraduate Education Policy committee, said the proposal — which was presented to the senate and the Graduate Council three years ago — would be a good change for the university. “Not only would it put us more in keeping with what most other schools do and what graduate

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

schools and employers expect to see when they look at a university transcript, it would also really help with communication,” Sloboda said. “Grades are really about communication between the faculty member and the students.” Sloboda said the change would minimally affect the institution’s GPA as a whole, and the current grading system does little to separate higher achieving students from lower ones. “There’s a pretty big difference between a student who got an 80 percent and a student who got a 89 percent, and right now our system has no way of reflecting that kind of nuance,” she said. “Right now it doesn’t really matter how you do on a final exam. Depending on how the course is structured, you’re going to get a B [in the class] no matter what. This system would encourage people to really do their best work.” The university surveyed 306

faculty on SurveyMonkey from March 7 to April 8, Sloboda said. Of those who answered, more than 69 percent said they would use the new grading system if implemented. More than 23 percent said they would not, and about 6 percent said only for certain courses. The survey then asked why those who answered no responded the way they did. Some wrote, “too complicated, extra work, doesn’t make much difference to GPA,” and “I see no value in making this change for the students in the job selection process.” For those who said they would use the scale, some wrote, “I can evaluate students’ work in a more accurate way,” and “it might give students a better view of how they really did or it could give room to try to weddle a better grade.” You can view the entire survey and responses here. Howard Davis, a junior from Chicago studying recreation, said

the change would make it easier to understand how he’s doing in class. “It will be a better indication of where we stand in class,” he said. “For example if I had a 73 in my course and that was a C-, it would give me a better understanding of how far I need to go to get up to a B or to a C+.” Still, Davis think students should get a voice in the process. “It’s our grades that’s going to be determined at the end of the day,” he said. “We should at least be able to have a say so in how we should be graded on our performance in class. I feel like it’s reasonable, but it’s unfair to decide it without at least a fair student vote.” The Faculty Senate got an informal vote by a show of hands at an Undergraduate Student Government meeting, where about two-thirds of students were not in favor of the proposal.

Layla Leek, 3, of Anna, laughs with her mother, Kendra, as she makes funny faces through the window of a bouncy house Saturday during Anna Arts Center’s annual fundraiser — Paint the Town — in the parking lot across from the center. Lee Hackney, the director of Anna Arts Center, said the event celebrates spring and gives children a chance to have fun and interact with others. “When I was growing up,” Hackney said, “I had places where I could go and just run wild like I owned the place, and that’s what we’re trying to create here. I think it’s great to get kids to come out and interact with other kids. We’ve got a lot of diversity here and I don’t think they usually get that at the school.”

GRADING CONTINUED FROM

Sloboda said student input is important, but at the end of the day, the faculty has to decide what’s best for them and the university. "We have been here longer and will be here longer than any individual student, and so the decision really is up to the faculty," she said. "The faculty

really needs to do what they think is in the best interest of the university’s academic program." Vanessa Williams, a freshman from Smithfield studying agricultural education and mathematics education, said she agrees that these kind of decisions should be left to the faculty. "Teachers need to have the ability to run their classroom the way that they want to, so

it gives them that ability and it doesn’t take away something from them that they already have," Williams said. "They should have their stand in how classrooms should be. I feel like they run the classroom and we’re just there to learn from it." Tierra Carpenter can be reached at tcarpenter@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Barbers Jermaine Pryor, left, and Lee Hughes, right, share a moment while cutting the hair of Rich Calham, bottom left, and Tarrell Davis, bottom right, on Thursday at Arnette’s Barbershop in Carbondale. Davis has been coming to Arnette’s for more than 27 years. “I found somebody to do me right here,” Davis said. “I ain’t going nowhere else.” Calham was a kid when he started coming to local barbershop. “I just come to be in the environment,” he said. “These are my brothers.”

University officials discuss details of coming food pantry TYLER CROTZER @TYLERCROTZER_DE

After studying for hours for an upcoming mid-term, the last thing any student wants to see is an empty fridge. For all those going hungry, SIU interim Chancellor Brad Colwell and vice chancellor of student affairs, Lori Stettler, said a food pantry will open the beginning of the 2016 fall semester in the basement of the Student Center. Student affairs staff discussed opening a food pantry earlier this year, at the same time Colwell read articles about other schools opening pantries, such as the University of Illinois and the University of Missouri. Stettler and Colwell said they knew they wanted to pursue the idea and assumed there was a need. SIU is still working on formally assessing the need among students by trying to gather general data from FAFSA forms like if students reported food insecurity or homelessness. “We have a lot of first-year students from various economic statuses. It has nothing to do with [the state] budget or anything like that. We just wanted to serve our students,” Colwell said. The plan is to have the pantry open to anyone with a valid student ID at least a couple times a week, Stettler said. That way students can get about three days

worth of food until the next time the pantry is open. The hours of operation may be dependent on the supply of food available when the pantry first opens. Students going hungry is not an issue unique to SIU. There are 298 institutions in the United States with opened student food pantries, according to the College and University Food Bank Alliance. One in three college freshmen experiences food insecurity — or lack of consistent access to adequate foods — according to research by the American Public Health Association in November. The study, which polled students at an unnamed university in the southwest, also showed food-insecure students were less likely to eat breakfast and homecooked meals, and more likely to eat fast food and experience anxiety and depression. One of Stettler's concerns was not knowing if the campus had the resources to open the pantry. The project is still developing and Stettler is unsure of the overall cost of creating the pantry. She said she is exploring all options, such as grants, discounted ticket prices for SIU sporting events in return for donations, and partnerships with food venders and local farmers. “We’re going to be very sustainable, reusing equipment

and furniture we already have on campus,” Stettler said. The food supply will account for the biggest cost to the university. Aside from food donations, Colwell expects private monetary donations from the community. SIU does not plan to hire any new staff to run the pantry, but will use current faculty members. Volunteers are welcome to help, and Stettler said she hopes the pantry will become a student-run initiative after faculty gets it started. Resource information will also be available for students who do not know if they are eligible for governmental services including food stamps and WIC. As long as the pantry continues to grow, the university wants to expand its inventory to include personal hygiene items as well, Stettler said. “When we started talking to students, what we’re hearing from them is they make a choice sometimes, some months, between buying food and paying rent,” she said. “What we want to do is remove obstacles, so that students can be academically successful and not have to worry about where their next meal is going come from.” To make a donation, Stettler can be reached at 618-453-3401.

Why we leave the bad news for the front page ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Every Daily Egyptian front page headline the week following Easter depicted detailed recent shootings — one a homicide. Monday’s paper ran a story on another gun-related crime. Violence aside, the front page of the DE more frequently reports on the state’s financial disaster and how it is affecting the university. The DE, like most news organizations, has received a number of complaints about how it chooses what news to cover and highlight on our front page. Why isn’t there more uplifting content beneath our nameplate? Why have we so extensively covered these crises? This raises the question: what is

a news organization for then? Apart from having the civic duty to inform the public about what’s happening in their community, are we always supposed to give readers the happiest news to feel warm and fuzzy inside so they can continue to live in a bubble of ignorance? We don’t think so. Have we as a society become so sensitive and self-centered that we have thrown our social responsibility out the window? We hope not. News organizations shouldn’t exist primarily for entertainment, or God forbid, to act as a public relations agency for universities or police or governments. Rather, news organizations should inform, raise awareness of

the harshest realities of the world, no matter how tough to stomach. Aren’t these stories the ones that raise questions, stir emotions and elicit change? Aren’t they the topics that move people to action that often gives us the content for the feel-good stories tucked beneath the inner pages of the paper? Think about every uplifting story you’ve read: breakthroughs in cancer research, marches to end gun violence, college students who spend their spring break building homes for the poor in Brazil. You’d be hard-pressed to find a feel-good story without some sort of tragedy at its core. So how should you approach the news? All we ask is that you come to it with a curious, critical

and open mind. We don’t report on news to appease your opinions and provide entertainment. We write to start conversations. To get our audience fired up. To get our readers thinking. We do this because it is important. And if we succeed in getting this message across to you, you might begin to see not only the news differently, but the world differently. Don’t take this wrong, with all the chaos in the world, we need glimpses of light as reminders that the world is a beautiful place and that humans have good in their hearts. And, let’s be honest, we all need something to motivate us to get out of our safe, cozy bed in the

morning. Remember: If we live an oblivious, uninformed life, only exposed to what we know from our own culture and routine, we will remain as naïve as we were when we walked into our Kindergarten classrooms — focusing more on how dull our crayons were than on why the new student sitting across from our desk had tear-streaks down his face. So the next time you pick up a DE, don’t think of the front page as a message that the world is falling apart, but rather as an opportunity to mend what is broken.

State should make plate renewals easier HERALD & REVIEW EDITORIAL BOARD

Illinois residents seeking license plate renewals are being treated unfairly by the state. That’s not unusual in Illinois, where taxpayers and other customers are often an afterthought, if they are considered at all. The Secretary of State’s Office quit mailing reminders of license plate sticker renewals in October, citing the state’s poor financial position and lack of a budget. The move saves the state about $450,000 a month. That’s a

significant savings and residents can sign up to be reminded by email. But other steps that should have gone along with that move are languishing in the General Assembly. The result is that the state has collected more than $5 million in fines for overdue stickers this year, more than twice the amount usually collected. The amount of fines reached $1.9 million in March. It’s an unfair situation since citizens had come to rely on the mailed notices. One solution to the issue is legislation that has been proposed in the General

Assembly. This legislation would suspend the fines until reminders could be mailed again. The legislation also would require law enforcement to issue warnings rather than tickets when they see a car with expired plates. That’s a pretty common sense approach. Most citizens want to do the right thing and if they received a warning, most folks would fix the situation quickly. Unfortunately, that legislation is still awaiting a full vote in that chamber and then has to be approved by the Senate.

While they are changing the law, the General Assembly could also make the system easier for residents. Many states anchor the date of license plate renewals on the vehicle owner’s birthday, similar to the way driver’s license renewals are handled. That’s an easy way to remember to check the expiration. When you blow out the candles, check to make sure that your license and sticker plates are up to date. It shouldn’t be the intent of any law to make people pay fines for being unmindful.

Obviously, there needs to be consequences for anyone who intentionally avoids renewing a license or a license plate sticker. However, when the state suddenly changed its procedures, steps should have been taken to ease the burden on residents. Not sending out the mail reminders is a reasonable way to save money and people can sign up for email reminders on the secretary of state’s website. To read more, please see www.dailyegyptian.com

Top-five comedy shows on Netflix JACOB PIERCE @JACOBPIERCE1_DE

While the quality of Netflix’s movie selection seems to be going down, its choices of TV shows keeps getting better. When it comes to comedy shows, the streaming service knows how to both give old shows new life and shake up the game. Here are five comedy shows on Netflix you should check out. 5. "New Girl" (2011): The bubbly and energetic nature of Zooey Deschanel as Jess, the lead character, leaks onto the show and this can be off-putting for some. But this is only a small setback on a show that succeeds at so much. Even while using a very familiar sitcom set-up, "New Girl" feels different and none of the characters have the static feel of a typical sitcom. The show has one of the best ensemble casts — each bringing a novel ability to his or her character. It also rivals early "The Simpsons" at times in its ability to use guest stars to their full potential. 4. "Master of None" (2015): Before "Master of None" debuted, Aziz Ansari didn’t seem to be the comedian to create

a show about complex themes while also being hilarious. Now it is hard to imagine him doing anything different. The show touches upon everything from racial casting in Hollywood to the fear women undergo on their walk from the bars at night to fitting in in a modern world. Much like a "Louie" before it, the show captures this new idea of comedy being more than just characters saying jokes. 3. "Arrested Development" (2003): When looking at great ensemble comedy casts, no discussion is complete without "Arrested Development." A lot of the comedy comes from the interaction between the characters in this world and the bizarre world itself. This brings a more subtle approach to the laughter, but one that sticks with audience members longer. This show, much like the next on the list, is one where at times the minor characters are just as funny as the main characters. It is one of the most quotable shows of all time. 2. "Bob’s Burgers" (2011): There are very few shows that embrace the weirdness of its

‘The Boss’ is a bust COLIN COVERT | Star Tribune

"The Boss" is not just the title of Melissa McCarthy's latest but also the take-charge attitude she brings to the project. Her part allows the actress to stretch, turning her hair red, her wardrobe high-fashion and her self-confidence stratospheric. Unfortunately, world-class gumption and an on-camera look that the pretty committee would applaud can't save a poorly executed comedy whose essential elements are dirty words and falling down. After McCarthy's rapturously funny work in "Spy," her pratfalls here seem like a reflection of the tangled plot threads tripping her. McCarthy's go big or go home assertiveness suggests another option: Stay home and avoid "The Boss" altogether. The film tracks sassy business guru Michelle Darnell (McCarthy), who loves telling her cheering fans she is "the 47th richest woman in America!" After a brief term in a luxury prison for insider trading, the homeless excon decides to rise again through a Girl Scout-like brownie empire. Selling billions of snickerdoodles door to door will net her both a new fortune and revenge against her competitive tycoon and former boyfriend, Renault (Peter Dinklage). The mission involves

McCarthy using nonstop profanity (a gimmick also used by preteen girls in the kid-unfriendly script she cowrote), fist-fighting mothers who support traditional cookie vendors, and leading her child posse into bone-breaking street scuffles. The greedy entrepreneur occasionally tries to learn family values from a single-mom former employee (Kristen Bell) who took her superior in off the streets. The juvenile yet raunchy dichotomy feels schizophrenic and impossible to market to families. This is shock comedy that, despite many charming children crowding the screen, is very adult. What a shame. The snippets that have played in the film's trailers, a folding bed that catapults McCarthy against a wall, or her scene wearing a mouth guard that makes her blabber the tricky wordplay of Abbott & Costello's "Who's on First," made me laugh myself into tiny little pieces. Those moments promise a blissful whole. Instead, fellatio jokes and slasher film references fill "The Boss" like a bizarre game of Mad Libs. While she has superb screen presence and acting ability, McCarthy is incapable of the great storytelling and universally relatable characters that make comedies compelling. She can perform the music, but she can't write the songs.

own universe as much as "Bob’s Burgers" does. What really drives "Bob’s Burgers" is the nature of how ridiculous each situation can get. Even Bob, who is usually the straight man of the bunch, can delve into craziness and seeing this transformation brings even more laughter. The show is also full of talented comedians providing their voices. H. Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal

and Eugene Mirman are just some of the different talent on this comedy. 1."Parks and Recreation" (2009): While this NBC comedy started off rocky — feeling like a cheap rip-off of "The Office" for most of season one — when the show found its footing it became something incredibly different and more innovative. Every character in this show

brings something hilarious and touching to the table. This is the type of comedy where you will find yourself bursting out in laughter or crying because of genuine it is. There are no other comedies that have the level of character relationships, dynamics and changes that “Parks and Recreation” had.

passed the education committees of both chambers and is awaiting review in the finance committees. Carmack, who lives in Nashville, called the bills "unnecessary discrimination" and said the "human damage they can cause can never be recovered."

are dangerous and reckless rightwing attacks. These bills are morally and spiritually corrupt to the core," said Child, who lives in Nashville with his husband, Curtis Shaw, and their twin sons. Child said the bills were filed this year "because it's payback time for the Supreme Court making same-sex marriage the law of the land." Last week, entertainers Miley Cyrus, Emmylou Harris, Ty Herndon and Chely Wright issued statements against the bills. Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD president and CEO, said her group hopes to enlist more of Tennessee's entertainment industry to speak out against the bills before they become law, as the television and movie industry has against similar bills in Georgia and North Carolina. Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery issued an advisory opinion Monday saying that the transgender restroom bill puts federal funding for public schools and colleges at risk. The opinion says that the federal government has interpreted Title 9 of federal education law to require that transgender students be given access to restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity instead of their birth gender.

Entertainers deride Tennessee transgender, “discriminatory” bills

RICHARD LOCKER THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

A hall of fame songwriter and a featured actor on the television show "Nashville" added their voices Monday to an effort to block two bills they say discriminate against gay and transgender people from becoming law in Tennessee. Songwriter and producer Desmond Child and actor Chris Carmack, who plays a gay aspiring country music singer in "Nashville," appeared at a news conference in Nashville hosted by the Tennessee Equality Project and GLAAD, formerly known as the national Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination, to condemn the two bills and encourage Tennessee's country music industry to come out against their passage. One of them, House Bill 1840, which allows private-practice counselors to refuse mental health services to people if it conflicts with their "strongly held principles," won House approval last week and is scheduled for a final legislative vote tonight in the state Senate. The other, House Bill 2414, would require transgender students to use the restrooms of the gender on their birth certificates, has

He spoke after Henry Seaton, an 18-year-old transgender senior at Beech High School Hendersonville, said the bathroom bill creates an environment for bullying by requiring students like him — born female but identifies as a male — to more bullying.

Athletes exhibit talents

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Senior utility player Caylee Cook shoots off confetti at the conclusion of the softball team’s performance during the Student-Athlete Talent Show on Monday at SIU Arena. The team separated into three groups, danced and lip-synced to different genres of music. During the show, members of the Saluki sports teams performed skits and songs. The performances were then scored by a panel of judges. The athletes participated to help raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale. The women’s basketball team won the competition with a perfect score from the judges.

Even though the college baseball season ends, that doesn’t mean the game stops in the offseason. Many SIU baseball players continue playing in NCAA-sanctioned summer leagues during the months following the school year. “It’s a great opportunity for guys to continue to improve and play against top players from around the nation,” hitting coach Ryan Strain said. “In the fall we start placing our position players because they’re the hardest to place and it can be tough to get players in if you wait too late. Our pitchers we usually place last based on the amount of innings they threw last season, and toward the end everyone is looking for pitching.” The leagues consist of 44-game schedules that last from late May to early August. They use wooden bats instead of the metal ones used in the college game. Junior outfielder Dyllin Mucha, who will play for the Richmond River Rats, said although playing nearly every day is tiring, it’s a chance to improve and play the game he loves. “Everyone of us hopes to play in the pros someday, so just knowing this will help us achieve our dreams keeps us

going,” he said. “There are days you want to give up, but the dream and love of the game is a constant reminder of why you play.” Most players live with host families who open their homes to the players for the season and house them until August. Freshman infielder Jared Schmidt, who will join Mucha with the River Rats, said he’s heard good things about the host families and it won’t be a new experience for him to go away from home. “I used to travel to play baseball all the time growing up, so leaving my family to go play more ball won’t be anything different except I’ll be in a different area,” he said. “From what I’ve heard, they take care of you and treat you like one of their own kids.” Strain said the players have some freedom on where they would like to play that summer. “A lot of our younger guys, we try to place closer to home so they can be right there with their families,” he said. “We sit them down in the office and they tell us where they want to go and we do our best to accommodate them. The NCAA makes sure we only have a maximum of four players going to one team, so we keep that in mind and try to pair guys up.”

With the help of the summer leagues, Strain said players use the time to improve and it has paid off. The 2016 Salukis (19-13-1, 1-2 Missouri Valley Conference) have already surpassed their 12 wins in 2015. “It’s really hard for guys to get better if [they’re] not going out and playing,” he said. “The biggest challenge for us coaches is sending them somewhere they’ll be able to play every day and, even if they struggle over the summer, they’re out there learning and when they come back in the fall you can see a difference.” Junior shortstop Will Farmer is heading into his final summer and is excited for the opportunity to play more baseball. “I’ll be playing for the DuPage Drones of the Prospect League this summer, which is a little closer to home. I haven’t had a chance to play close to my family,” the Mundelein native said. “You’re playing baseball, so you want to compete and have fun and the leagues are a great opportunity to do that.” Farmer played last season in the Jayhawk League for the Derby Twins and said summer ball is a chance to compete but have fun, too.

Saluki softball received another weekly honor on Monday. Sophomore right fielder Jessica Heese was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week for the first time in her career. Heese had perhaps her best week at the plate in her breakout sophomore campaign. She hit .500 (7-14) across the Salukis’ four games last week, including a grand slam on Saturday’s 6-3 victory and a game-winning two-RBI double in Sunday’s 8-6 victory against Missouri State. In addition to her seven hits,

she added nine RBIs and scored seven runs of her own. SIU went 3-1 on the week, and Heese had a .857 slugging percentage during that time. Overall, she is second on the team in batting at .325 and second in RBIs with 19. Heese’s award is the seventh time this season SIU has been given a MVC weekly award, with freshman pitcher Brianna Jones winning five and junior Shaye Harre picking up another.
