SINCE 1916

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Leilani Bartlett, middle with papers, a freshman from Chicago studying business, leads a march Tuesday from Brown Hall to Morris Library. Bartlett, who organized the event, posted a video to Facebook on April 4 expressing her concerns about racism she said she has experienced at SIU. Her video received over 161,000 views. Matthew Wilson, a senior from Carbondale studying TV and digital media radio, participated in the event. “Honestly, I was heartbroken for Leilani,” Wilson said. “But I was not surprised because this has been occurring and reoccurring and nothing has happened. So the fact that we are even out here today is sad. Because why should we be out here dealing with these issues when they should have already been solved in the first place.”

‘Accepted, but not welcomed’ TIERRA CARPENTER | @TierraMC

About 100 people gathered at Brown Hall and marched to Morris Library on Tuesday in a demonstration against oncampus racism. The demonstration stemmed from an alleged incident of racism that occurred in Brown Hall, which was said to have involved a group of students who were speaking negatively about black people during a discussion about their support for presidential candidate Donald Trump. During her opening speech, Leilani Bartlett, a freshman from Chicago studying business management, said the segregation of SIUC is recognized by students, faculty and staff, but not administrators. The Rev. Joseph Brown, a professor in Africana studies and vice chairman of the Carbondale Human Relations Commission, said racism is an issue

at SIU in many ways. He cited a lack of diversity in SIU's faculty, administrators and classes. "We do not have an inclusive, integrated academic community either on the personnel level or in the curriculum," he said. "If people come to school to learn about the world they live in, they need to be educated into a multicultural world." The group walked to the Library chanting phrases such as, "How’s a university take pride in it’s diversity, but we can’t live he comfortably?" and "Accepted, but not welcomed." "Accepted but not welcomed" was also a hashtag demonstrators used on social media. Bartlett said she came up with the phrase because it describes how most minorities feel at SIU. "We’ve been accepted amongst their requirements, but we feel our university has done nothing to make us feel welcomed," she said. Taylor Cross, a sophomore from Chicago studying early childhood

education, said she can not relate to the phrase. "I don’t feel that way, but I do get the message," said Cross, a black woman who has lived in Thompson Point for almost two years. During the protest, some students supported the demonstration on the social media app Yik Yak, while others objected. "Y'all gotta understand it's more than black and white. ato said somethings that should offend EVERYBODY the March is for all minority's black Mexican Muslim Chinese to have a voice," a user wrote on the anonymous app. Other users told the students to "get over" the racism and implied the demonstration was unnecessary. Cross said she does not think SIU should take the blame for the recent incidents surrounding the demonstration. "Unfortunately there’s always going to be racist people everywhere,

but I don’t feel like the school itself is racist," Cross said. "By this being a televised thing, you’re giving SIU a bad name because it’s not the school. The school shouldn’t go down because of something that a few whites kid said, because they’re ignorant. If the school is saying, 'It’s under investigation we’re handling it,' let the school handle it." Bartlett opened the floor to other students who wanted to share their thoughts about racism at SIU. "I refuse to be another victim of racism that does not speak out," said Bethany Peppers, comptroller for Black Affairs Council," said. "I refuse to let my campus, all of our campus be divided. … It is ridiculous that when every student on this campus should be united and attacking the state for a common cause, we have such hatred and division." Jordan Catchings, a freshman from Chicago studying business marketing, said he was part of the

Hot Bar Breakfast 7-11AM EVERY

alleged incident that occurred in Brown Hall. When he and a friend were leaving his friend's room on the building's second floor, they came across the white students during their discussion about Trump. "We weren’t mad they were saying 'Trump 2016.' We just felt as though they were trying to agitate us," Catchings said. He said the run-in turned into an argument after the Trump supporters said they were in favor building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. "As minorities we’re supposed to take the high road all the time, but we were just tired of that," Catchings said. "We just had to put our foot down and let them know we weren’t going to stand for that anymore." Catchings said the second-floor resident assistant also got involved in the argument.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Matthew Wilson, a senior from Carbondale studying TV and digital media radio, holds a sign that reads, “Accepted But Not Welcome!” while marching Tuesday from Brown Hall to Morris Library. “I decided to come out and take part because I am from southern Illinois, from Carbondale, and I feel very strongly about these issues that are going on in my hometown,” Wilson said. “This is my place of comfort, my place of peace, where I was born and raised and I do not tolerate this nor will I accept this any longer. So we needed to bring awareness to this situation and a solution needs to happen.” Leilani Bartlett, who organized the event, posted a video to Facebook on April 4 about the racism she said she has experienced at SIU. The video received more than 161,000 views.

RALLY CONTINUED FROM

“He came up to us,” he said. “... He was trying to act like we were the bad guys in the situation, when really we were just defending basically everybody on this campus by not standing for it.” Interim Chancellor William Bradley Colwell issued statements via email to students, saying the university is handling the recent events of racism and racial tension on campus. Despite this, Bartlett said her situation

has escalated and the university should have reacted the incident quicker. Conversely, Brown said he appreciated how fast the university responded to the situation.Regardless, he said there is only one way to tackle racism. “Racism can only be addressed when everyone in this country or on this campus realizes that it affects them. ... Every single person in this country is affected by racism, which means that we all have to work on confronting it and changing how we behave. Therefore the

campus will change when it becomes not responding to a crisis, but part of our day to day, positive engagement on an educational and social level,” he said. Concluding the demonstration, Bartlett called on the administration to further investigate the incident she experienced, acknowledge similar events and include diversity training in new student orientation.

Mending homes

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Kevin Duncan, a construction worker from Herrin, replaces bullet-torn aluminum siding on the house of the late Tim Beaty on Tuesday at 334 W. Walnut St. in Carbondale. Beaty was killed by a stray bullet after he rescued five student-athletes caught near crossfire at a neighboring party on March 27. Growing up, Duncan said he spent a lot of time in Carbondale visiting his great-grandmother. “Carbondale’s definitely changing,” Duncan said. “When I was a kid, kids could run in the street and ride their bikes everywhere and do whatever. There wasn’t fear like there is now.” Duncan said he saw four bullet holes and other dents on house’s exterior.

Carbondale man sentenced for armed robbery during Polar Bear BILL LUKITSCH| @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

A Carbondale man was sentenced Tuesday to five years’ imprisonment for an attempted armed robbery that took place during Polar Bear weekend. Dontae Smith, 21, was arrested by Carbondale police on Jan. 31 and charged with attempting to rob a victim at gunpoint near the 700 block of East Grand Avenue, according to court records. One victim notified police that a black male with dreadlocks wearing dark clothes and a colorful print shirt had placed a gun to her head and another black male had searched her person for property. Seven people reported being assaulted by the two men, police said.

Responding officers said they spotted a suspect matching the description near a footbridge trail west of the initial location. The suspect, who police later identified as Smith, allegedly fled on foot after police attempted to stop him. He discarded what was later determined to be a Glock 23 .40 caliber pistol during the pursuit, police said. Smith was apprehended along with his suspected co-conspirator, Matthew Hamilton. Both men faced multiple felony weapons charges in addition to attempted armed robbery, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful use of weapons. Smith pleaded guilty to the single

felony count of attempted armed robbery, which carries four to 15 years in prison under Illinois statute. Hamilton faces multiple felony charges for acting in concert with Smith and is scheduled to appear in court May 9. This is the second gun-related incident reported during Polar Bear weekend, and the fourth episode of gunviolence reported by the Daily Egyptian this semester. SIU student Spencer DePue, a senior from Bolingbrook studying management, was shot and mugged on Jan. 30. Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3329.

Faculty Senate says yes to plus-minus grading scale ANNA SPOERRE | @ANNASPOERRE

A plus-minus grading system was approved Tuesday by the campus Faculty Senate. The proposed change received 17 votes in favor and seven opposed, said Stacey Sloboda, co-chair of the Faculty Senate’s Undergraduate Education Policy committee. It now goes up to the campus’ administration for approval. Sloboda said the new policy would do little to change the institution’s

GPA as a whole. How would a plus-minus grading system affect students? The Faculty Senate took an informal vote at the Undergraduate Student Government meeting last month where about two-thirds of the students present voted against the system change. Sloboda said student input is important, but 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.” SIU would join the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Chicago, Western Illinois University and Northern Illinois University in summer 2018 if approved by the administration.

New beginnings in Carbondale

Police kill man after car chase ends in Benton BILL LUKITSCH @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

A Kentucky man was shot to death Tuesday following a highspeed pursuit and gun battle with police in Benton. Joshua Moreno, 38, of Bowling Green, Ky., was killed by return gunfire after allegedly shooting at law enforcement officers from multiple agencies near Illinois Route 37, said Lt. Michael Alvey of the Illinois State Police. The chase began at 3:06 p.m. after a call came into Franklin County sheriff ’s office. A residential burglary suspect failed to yield to police officers, Alvey said. The suspect police have identified as Moreno allegedly evaded pursuit by ramming a deputy’s squad and shooting at officers multiple times during the chase. No law enforcement members or civilians were physically harmed during the incident, Alvey said. Moreno’s vehicle was eventually disabled on U.S. Interstate 57, Alvey said, but he hijacked a different vehicle and the pursuit continued. The pursuit ended after Moreno’s stolen vehicle stopped near a skating rink on Route 37, and he was shot by police. Police issued a statement at the press conference Tuesday night, but declined to answer further questions. Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com

Both are from Colombia, and are here in the United States for the first time, along with Ana’s fourteen-year-old son. The family arrived in the United States on Feb. 3. Mariana will start school in August, but for now Ana brings her daughter to class with her everyday. Ana said the best part of the United States so far has been the people and the recent warm weather.

Part 1 of ‘Molly’s Law’ passes Illinois House DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK

A bill that would give families more time to file wrongful death lawsuits unanimously passed the Illinois House of Representatives on Tuesday. The bill, named “Molly’s Law” for the controversial death of Molly Young, would increase the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases from two to five years. Young’s death and the ensuing

investigation led to community criticisms of the Carbondale Police Department and Illinois State Police. “Investigations into incidents involving death caused by violent means can take a really long time,” said Rep. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, who drafted bill. “One of the hurdles that the Youngs faced in trying to file their wrongful death lawsuit was that time simply ran out on them.

This new limit of five years would have helped them have their day in court, and it will likely lead to another family that finds themselves in a similar situation have their day in court as well.” A second bill, which some call part two of “Molly’s Law,” would attempt to heighten government and police transparency using changes to the Freedom of Information Act. It is also in the works, according to a statement

from Bryant’s office. Under the proposed law, public bodies that fail to disclose information deemed accessible by a circuit court would face a maximum fine of $10,000. The House Judiciary Civil Law committee will hear part two of the law this week. The Daily Egyptian’s campus desk can be reached at 618-536-3325 or lnozicka@dailyegyptian.com.

The definitive ranking of the public restrooms at SIU THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE

Something like 40 pounds of poop. For the sake of science, I, Thomas Donley, toured each and every bathroom at SIUC, in order to find the best and worst places to do your business. That is about how many pounds of excrement it would take to drop one in all 32 buildings on campus. There was McDonalds, Papa Johns and Fat Patties. But most of all, there was Don Taco. BEST 5. Student Services Building The newest building on campus, not surprisingly, has some of the best bathrooms around. They’re a little small, but they’re clean and pleasant to use. Verdict: Poop here. You won’t regret it. 4. Richard “Itchy” Jones Stadium The best public bathroom of the outdoor stadiums on campus. The bathrooms at the Itch have heaters above the door, calming the sting of the early-spring cold when you head in to drop your deuces. The water pressure in the faucets is fantastic. Verdict: Take a dump at the ball game. 3.Morris Library Probably the brightest-lit bathrooms on campus. The restrooms at the library only miss out on the top two spots based on the limited number of stalls in each one. The bathrooms on each floor are consistent, clean and inviting. Verdict: Don’t worry about having a poop attack during a study session. Let ‘er rip, tater chip. 2. SIU Arena The bathrooms at SIU Arena were not ignored during the 201011 renovations. There are several stalls and urinals, so long lines are not an issue. The cleanliness is top-notch, and everything is automated, from the toilets

to the faucets to the lights and the automation works perfectly almost every time. You don’t get premature flushes, and you don’t have to wave your hands at the sink like a crappy magician. Verdict: Go to a game at the Arena, if only just to use the toilet. 1. Altgeld Hall From the outside, Altgeld Hall looks old. But on the inside, it’s immaculate, and the bathrooms are no different. You would never guess you were growing a tail in a building that was built 13 years after the patent for the modern toilet paper roll. The lighting is great, all appliances are clean and the bathrooms are just generally inviting. I didn’t want to leave. Verdict: If you have a visit to Altgeld Hall planned, you will be tapping your toes on the throne. WORST 5. Rehn Hall The upstairs bathrooms are not particularly bad, but Rehn Hall finds itself in the bottom five because of its downstairs men’s room. There are no men’s rooms on the ground floor. The closest one is in the basement, where there are no ladies’ rooms. The men’s room is surprisingly hard to find in such a straightforward hallway, and it’s not worth the effort it takes to find it. A sign near the door says “Please Excuse Our Progress” even though none appears to be taking place. Verdict: Your efforts are better spent finding a different building in which to take the Browns to the Super Bowl. 4. Lawson Hall I’m not saying the bathrooms in Lawson Hall are disgusting, but nicer toilets have been used to make hooch. Located in the corner outside each auditorium, you have to wind your way through a cramped closet just to find a stall that may or may not be partitioned off by a shower curtain. Washing your hands

Sloan Marion | @SketchingBear

of the film of bacteria the room is crawling with takes a little extra effort, as the faucets have probably the worst water pressure on campus. Verdict: You could do worse, but you should try to do better. 3. Woody Hall The only thing missing is the ghost of a girl who died here 50 years ago. The bathrooms in Woody Hall are isolated enough to make them the perfect place to make Polyjuice Potion. The location in probably the creepiest building on campus doesn’t help the overall feel of the generallyunclean restrooms here. Verdict: Most of the Woody Hall is vacant. You should leave the restrooms the same way. 2. Lindegren Hall I’m pretty sure Stephen King designed the bathrooms in Lindegren Hall. The ground level bathroom has a minihallway leading to it, which has a distinctive "Green Mile" feel to

it — it makes you dread taking a seat at the end. Some Lindegren restrooms have plenty of space, while others are so cramped that just being in one is a fire hazard in and of itself. The bathrooms that actually have more than 5 feet of lateral space are similar to a Cold Mountain cell, dimly lit and full of cockroaches. A feature that shouldn’t go unnoticed is the sinks have separate faucets for hot and cold water — I didn't realize we were still in the early 20th century. Verdict: The only thing keeping Lindegren and its horror-movie restrooms out of the No. 1 worst of the worst spot is the fact that touching things in the restrooms themselves is not disgusting itself. 1. Communications Building You know that feeling you get when your poop splashes toilet water on your butt? You get that feeling all over your body as soon as you walk into a restroom in the Comm Building. The lighting creates an ambiance similar to

how I imagine Charles Manson’s basement. Oh yeah, there are holes in some of the walls. Once you get into a stall that may, or may not have a functioning lock — you won't want to sit down. I have never once sat on one of those seats and felt confident that I wouldn’t contract tuberculosis. Once the job is done and it’s time for the paperwork, you might as well have torn a page out of your notebook to bring with you to wipe with — probably more comfortable and just as absorbent than the sandpaper they supply you with. After you wash your hands, you’re lucky if the paper towel dispensers work. Verdict: The worst of the worst. Only poop here if your only other option is to drop a deuce in Thompson Woods and wipe with leaves. Thomas Donley can be reached at tdonley@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3307.

Thompson Woods survey stirs further debate among campus community ANNA SPOERRE | @ANNASPOERRE

A survey addressing the management of SIU's Thompson Woods and Campus Lake area is raising concerns among university biologists. Sent out April 4 via email to the university community, the questionnaire has provoked debate about how groomed or natural the areas should be kept. Designed by Applied Research Consultants — a university group in the psychology department — the survey asks questions pertaining to the aesthetics, safety and educational aspects of the outdoor areas. "It wasn’t about our opinion," said Phil Gatton, director of the campus physical plant. "What we were interested in was getting everyone’s opinion without

influencing anybody." Sedonia Sipes, an associate professor in plant biology, said although she is happy the university is giving the campus community a voice in the decision-making process, she found the survey biased in its wording. For example, she said the survey defined the lower brush of the forest as "annual or perennial weeds or grasses" instead of what she defined as wildflowers and native plants. "Nowhere in that survey was it clear ... that one of the things we could do was to preserve native biodiversity," she said. "The real problem is ... the results will have been biased and leaning toward the responses that would imply a real heavy-handed management of Thompson Woods and Campus

Lake in a way that takes them closer to a park-like environment as opposed to what I think they were originally intended to be ... a green area to show off the high biodiversity of this area." Dave Tippy, director of grounds, said this debate over how natural the wooded areas should be kept has been a point of controversy since he was a student in the 1970s. "Having some of our green space on campus be managed for its natural resources is not only an aesthetic value, but is something that could contribute toward education and ecology and a number of fields of science," Sipes said. She said she would like for a new survey to be designed with the input of life science faculty including what she

considered more accurate terms and descriptions to better inform those taking the surveys. "I think the attempt here was to make this as unbiased and approachable by everybody to come up with a reasonable result," Tippy said. "I don’t think that you’re ever going to find a survey that somebody won’t call biased." Once the survey is completed, the consultant group will analyze the results and present them to the physical plant staff, who are responsible for managing the area, Tippy said. However, Tippy said with the state’s fiscal budget crisis, he doesn’t know how soon the campus community would see changes made to the management of the areas, if any. As of Friday, the survey, sent

out to 16,859 people, had 1,162 responses, said Gatton, who initiated the survey. He said they hope to finish gathering results by the end of the month. Rhonda Kowalchuk, director of Applied Research Consultants, was unable to be reached for a comment. Zoology professor Marjorie Brooks said though she thought the survey did a good job of assessing interest, she wished it would have focused more on the educational, recreational and aesthetic appeals of the woods. "I didn't think it was biased any more than many surveys I've taken," Brooks said. "I would like to see more refinement in a future survey."

SIU softball was working for the weekend last season, but now it produces all seven days of the week. The Salukis (23-12, 7-4 Missouri Valley Conference) is 3-0 this season in midweek matchups after going 3-6 in those games last season. Coach Kerri Blaylock said she made the games a point of emphasis to her team before the season. "We did it with our captains in our captain training," she said. "We just made it a point to be better ... stay ready to go and play complete games midweek." The primary way the team has improved in such games is through an increase in focus, said junior center fielder Merri Anne Patterson. Since these games are often against nonconference opponents, Patterson said she felt the games often weren't a major concern for the team in previous seasons. "Sometimes last year, the pitcher wanted it the most and everyone else was just out there to be out there," she said. "We weren't focused because it wasn't a game that really mattered to us." Patterson said the team was often worried with work for classes on bus rides to the games, and made a change to address it. "We don't get on our computers and do our homework on the way to the game anymore, we try to save it for after the game," she said. "We don't do anything that would get us bogged down. Now, they'll watch a movie or listen to music. They're so academic, that they wanted to take care of it, and they still do, just after the game. I feel it's really made a difference." Once the team arrives to its nonweekend matchup, it's business as usual. Blaylock said the team's general strategy remains the same regardless of what day of the week it's playing on.

"We may do different things in the designated player role or try to get some people some at-bats," she said. "As far as pitching goes, I just go by feel and who needs to go out there." For pitchers, throwing on a Tuesday may mean pitching just a few days after throwing multiple games during a weekend series. Sophomore Savanna Dover (5-6, 3.81 ERA), who started Thursday at Murray State, said her warmup remains the same for a midweek game, but she may take practice down a notch the day before. The games also serve the purpose of keeping the team fresh before a weekend series. "Practice is so boring and monotonous sometimes," Patterson said. "So getting in these games are the best type of practice we can have." Mother Nature has interrupted some of these quasi-practices. The last two scheduled midweek games, March 30 at SIU-Edwardsville and April 6 at Tennessee-Martin, were both canceled because of rain. If it were not for the last-minute arrangement to play Murray State on Thursday, the Salukis would've gone two weeks without playing a midweek game. Blaylock said she believes the cancelation at SIUE affected the team negatively going into its series at Drake, where the team was swept. "These games help keep you sharp," she said. "I feel like it makes you flat, especially if the weather is bad and you have to go inside and you're not getting your preparation outdoors." SIU's next midweek game is at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Charlotte West Stadium against Murray State. Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307.

Price named National Athlete of the Week; two others honored by MVC SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

One Saluki thrower took home a national award while two of her teammates were honored by the Missouri Valley Conference. Senior DeAnna Price was named Tuesday the Women's Division I National Athlete of the Week by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Senior thrower Josh Freeman was named MVC Male

Field Athlete of the Week and junior runner Ashanna Hodge is the MVC Female Track Athlete of the Week. At the Auburn Tiger Track Classic on Friday, Price recorded a 72.48-meter throw, which is the third-longest in outdoor collegiate history and was an Auburn facility record. The reigning national champion came up 3 centimeters short of the outdoor school record of 72.51 set by

former Saluki Brittany Riley in 2007. Her performance was not a onetrial show, as the toss before her 72-meter throw went 71.88 meters — just the second time a woman has thrown more than 71.5 meters twice in the same event. The other time belongs to collegiate record-holder Jenny Dahlgren of Georgia. Price's throw is the longest this season by any collegiate athlete, more than 5 meters longer than the second-place throw of 67.04 meters.

The Moscow Mills, Mo., native also finished in sixth at the Tiger Track Classic in the discus throw with a 47.55-meter toss. Freeman won the shot put event at the meet with a top mark of 19.60 meters and came in third for discus with a 55.91-meter throw. With these results, Freeman leads the MVC in both the discus and the shot put and is third in the nation overall in shot put. Hodge came in second at Auburn

in the 400-meter hurdle event, clocking in at 59.18 seconds. Her mark is the third-best in school history and leads the MVC this season. Price, Freeman and Hodge will try to improve their marks Saturday at the Missouri Quad in Columbia, Mo.

in and two runs scored. Production poured in the two and three spots too, with junior outfielders Dyllin Mucha and Jake Hand added two hits and two RBIs of their own. The three players totaled six of the team’s 16 hits and eight of the nine RBIs. "I just tried to take the ball to the candy shop and got a good pitches over the plate to drive," Kopach said. "We took some good at-bats tonight and

we're really starting to see the ball well." After no runs were scored in the first two frames, the Dawgs put four runs in the third. "We did a lot of the little things well today," said coach Ken Henderson. "Offensively, we laid some bunts down and put some pressure on them early and that's what we need to keep doing." Senior Bryce Sablotny (3-3, 5.48 ERA) came away with the win, giving

up two unearned runs and striking out five in 6 1/3 innings. Junior pitcher Chase Thurston (0-3 9.78 ERA) took the loss allowing six runs in 2 2/3 innings. "Didn't have my best stuff today but guys took good at-bats and put some runs on the board," Sablotny said. "My breaking stuff worked really well and I got some guys to roll over and hit grounders and my defense did a nice

job turning double plays." SIU scored four runs in the third, two in the sixth and four more in the seventh. The Panthers (5-27) rallied for two runs in the seventh, but that would not be enough as the Salukis added four more in the bottom half of the inning. The Salukis begin a three-game series against Dallas Baptist at 6:30 p.m. on Friday in Dallas.

Offensive outbursts leads Salukis past Eastern Illinois DAILY EGYPTIAN SPORTS DESK

SIU baseball got the bats going in its 10-2 win against Eastern Illinois on Tuesday. The Salukis (20-13-1) were 11-22 with runners on base and 5-13 with runners in scoring position. Sophomore second baseman Connor Kopach went 2-3 from the leadoff spot with four runs batted
