McLafferty becomes home to beer, fish and lasers

ANNA SPOERRE | @ANNASPOERRE

Proposed bill could ban transgender students from some school facilities

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_TimmsSean Moran, a chemistry and biochemistry assistant professor from Connecticut, points to a table of light-converting modules Monday in McClafferty Annex’s new laser lab. Moran said his research program involves the use of infrared light to study the vibrations of biomolecules, such as protein and DNA. “There are, at most, a few dozen places the world that do infrared work,” Moran said, “It’s is cutting-edge technology.”

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_TimmsAnthony Porreca, a doctoral student in zoology from Homer Glen, holds a young pallid sturgeon Monday at the newly-renovated wet lab in McLafferty Annex. The facility has enabled Porreca to research the habitat preferences and reproductive success of pallid sturgeons, an endangered species found in the Mississippi and Missouri rivers that is competing for resources with the overpopulated shovelnose sturgeon. Porreca said the research requires salt and fresh water capabilities and control of minute temperature variances, which were not possible in the previous building.

During winter break, a nearly empty McLafferty Annex was transformed into what is becoming a state-of-the-art research center.

The Board of Trustees in 2012 approved $3 million for developing McLafferty Annex — which previously stored books during renovations to Morris Library — into a research facility. An additional $1 million was approved for equipment, according to Jim Garvey, interim vice chancellor for research.

“The idea was to make this a building that was available for interdisciplinary research and creative activity on campus,” he said.

So far, three interactive lab spaces are ready for research.

Fermentation Science InstituteIn a new, glass-walled classroom students will

be able to make, taste-test and analyze alcoholic beverages as part of the first fermentation lab at SIU.

Matt McCarroll, professor of chemistry and biochemistry and director of the fermentation institute, said the lab is one of the first in the Midwest. Fermentation science, he said, includes beer, wine, spirits and food production.

Simba Woodard said as a transgender man, even seemingly normal activities such as going to the restroom can be daunting.

“I always have trouble deciding where I’m going to go to use the restroom,” said Woodard, a sophomore from Nashville, Tenn., studying journalism. “When I do walk into a women’s bathroom, I get looks and I feel uncomfortable. I would rather go into a men’s restroom, but you’re going to get the same feeling either way.”

On Wednesday, State Rep. Thomas Morrison, R-Palatine, filed a bill that would ban transgender students from kindergarten to 12th grade in public schools from using the restrooms and locker rooms of their gender identity. For example, under the new bill a 11th-grader who identifies as female but was born as a male would not be able to use female-specific facilities.

HB4474 had its first reading Friday in the House of Representatives, where it was referred to the Rules Committee. The bill has one Democrat and 11 Republican sponsors.

While transgender students would be prohibited from entering restrooms or locker rooms other than that of their birth gender identity, the bill allows schools to provide single-occupancy rooms per a written request.

“The purpose of the bill is to accommodate the privacy needs of all students,” Morrison said. “We’re not saying a transgender student must use the room that corresponds to their anatomy. We’re saying that if a student cannot use the facility that corresponds to their anatomy, then the school can allow that student to change in an area where it would be safe for them to do so.”

With Morrison and supporters of the bill citing privacy and safety concerns, Woodard said he understands why the bill was proposed.

“From a safety standpoint, there are plenty of people who definitely don’t agree with transgender individuals at all,” he said. “I’ve seen people get bullied for it; I’ve seen people get beat up for it.”

Rauner: ‘No good excuse’ for latest social service cuts

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner said Monday that there is “no good excuse” for major cuts to social service programs that have resulted from the budget impasse, blaming Democrats he said could have struck a deal but are content to cause chaos in an effort to force a tax increase.

The governor’s comments came just days after Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, the state’s largest social services agency, announced it would close 30 programs and cut 750 positions because it’s owed more than $6 million by the state.

“There is really no good excuse for the tragic loss of those kinds of services,” Rauner said at an unrelated event. “It’s inexcusable for us not to have a budget right now. We could have and should have done this many months ago.”

Democrats counter that it’s Rauner who is holding the budget hostage as he pushes a pro-business, union-weakening political agenda. Rauner has indicated he would consider a tax increase only if lawmakers adopt his changes.

“We would ask him to understand that it’s not just the Democrats who are in charge of the budget in Illinois,” Senate President John Cullerton said Monday when asked at a City Club of Chicago luncheon

about the social service funding problems. “He’s the governor. He’s in charge of it along with us, and we have to resolve it.”

The Lutheran agency plans to cut treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, housing for recently released prisoners and their families and a children’s shelter. Among those hit hardest are services for seniors, as federal Medicaid funds fall short of covering the state’s portion of the tab for programs, including home care. The agency had tried to make ends meet through donations and loans. However, it said cuts needed to be made not only because of the current funding shortfall but also the possibility of years of continued financial trouble for the state.

Meanwhile, another group announced Monday that it will no longer offer intervention services for runaways and at-risk youth in Englewood and West Englewood because of the budget impasse. Children’s Home + Aid plans to shut down the programs Feb. 15, meaning as many as 70 children will be diverted from lower-cost community-based programs to the state’s strained child welfare agency.

“The child welfare system is simply not equipped with enough hotline workers, investigators, case managers or foster homes to respond to an influx of adolescents,”

Andrea Durbin, CEO of Illinois Collaboration on Youth, said in a statement. “The lives and safety of children and youth will be at risk.”

Rauner and Democrats who run the General Assembly are locked in a stalemate as the first-term governor pushes an agenda that would curb the rights of union workers, toughen standards for employees seeking compensation for injuries on the job, limit expensive payouts in civil lawsuits and freeze local property taxes.

Democrats have said Rauner’s political wish list would undermine the middle class for the benefit of corporate bosses. Rauner has countered that the short-term pain of operating without a budget is worth long-term economic benefits his agenda would bring.

On Monday, Rauner returned to his argument that Democrats could raise taxes on their own to prop up the budget, but they are “afraid to look taxpayers in the eye and demand more.”

“If the majority party in the General Assembly thought that just raising taxes to fund those services, they could do it. They haven’t moved a finger to go do that,” Rauner said. “They are very comfortable not having a budget and letting those services go away. To me, that’s an outrage.”

BILL CONTINUED FROM 1

The proposed bill comes after a transgender female student at Palatine Township High School was prohibited from using the female locker room and filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education. The case made national attention and Morrison said many schools are undergoing similar discussions.

“[Transgender people’s] decision to not identify with the sex that they were born with — with the anatomy that they have — should not trample upon the rights of other students who do identify with the anatomy they have,” Morrison said.

Despite this, Woodard said passing the bill may cause more problems than solutions. He said he believes gender-neutral restrooms would be a better resource for students.

As a teenager, Woodard said he had to sort through confusion that came with being transgender. His coming-out process was subtle — he changed his birth name of Alexis to Simba on school papers to tell teachers he trusted about his

identity.Woodard said he believes

enacting a bill that affects person aspects of young people’s lives could lead to the alienation of trans students.

“If [a transgender male] is told that they can’t be with their male peers, of course they would feel alienated because they’ve already felt like that their whole lives,” he said. “Telling them they still have to change elsewhere, now you’re a part of no group. You’re alone because you don’t want to be in the women’s locker room, but you can’t be in the male’s locker room.”

Morrison, however, affirms locker rooms and bathrooms have always been separated by anatomy and the tradition should continue. While Morrison said many think the bill is discriminatory, he believes restrooms and locker rooms are discriminatory by nature.

“If we do nothing to establish objective boundaries, then the ultimate conclusion, I believe, will be no separation,” Morrison said. “I think it will just be a locker room.”

Spreading the art of dance

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_TimmsMatt McCarroll, a fermentation science professor, stands next to a brewing system Monday in one of McClafferty Annex’s new fermentation classrooms. “Previously we’ve had to teach our chemistry beer and brewing class spread out in different places,” McCarroll said. “But this is the first time teaching it in a dedicated facility in five years.” McCarroll said SIU’s four-year fermentation science degree is pending with the state and he anticipates its approval in March.

MCLAFFERTY CONTINUED FROM 1

Fermentation Science Institute (Con.)

The lab portion of the class — Chem 180/181: the Chemistry of Beer and Brewing — is restricted to students 21 years and older and involves beer-tasting and yeast and flavor analysis. The lecture component has no age restriction.

“There’s so much growth potential and need for brewing [sciences],” McCarroll said. He said the research is necessary as it becomes more popular for people to own and operate their own breweries.

He said the four-year degree program in fermentation sciences is pending final approval by the state this spring. However, some brewing classes are available this semester.

Aqua center and fisheriesIt takes the eyes a minute to adjust

to the glowing blue light coming from many corners of the large wet lab.

Dozens of pallid sturgeon swim in a rounded, deep tub, occasionally sticking their pointy noses out of the water.

“These are federally endangered fish,” said Andrew Coursey, a researcher at the center.

He said the space is dynamic, for example, every tank has the capability of being either fresh or salt water.

“We need to be flexible because research is always changing,” Coursey said. “Each student that comes in has a different project.”

One group of tanks will soon be used for research on octopi using underwater iPads.

“The octopi can actually communicate underwater through the iPad to the researchers to get a piece of food, a play toy or a visual stimulant,” Coursey said.

A shelf with 100 small tanks is set aside for behavioral psychology research using zebra fish. He said staff will potentially knock out specific

genes in the fish to give them autism, allowing for research on the disorder.

Although the room has many tanks, there is still empty floor space. Coursey said they hope to continue developing the area, with the biggest expansion being an 8,000-gallon display aquarium once they are able to find private funding.

The laser spectroscopy laboratoryA lab in the annex’s basement

requires cool temperatures and the ability to eliminate natural light. Here, researchers have the ability to explore molecular structures using lasers.

In the dim room is a long table filled with a series of mirrors, lenses and a white box omitting a glowing green when slightly opened. This is the home of infrared lasers used to study the movement of biomolecules.

“This is my main instrument for my research,” said Sean Moran, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry. “The whole goal of this is to change colors of light.”

He said the light can shine on samples, like proteins, to observe movement and reveal previously unseen properties of molecules.

Moran said he primarily researches how molecules come together to build larger structures, like tooth enamel.

“This is cutting-edge technology,” Moran said.

Garvey said the building still needs work. They were unable to finish up some small details, like trim and finish, because of the state’s budget impasse.

He said the board approved funding before the impasse, but he hopes donors will help fund the final steps.

“The idea with the building is

that it’s supposed to attract outside funding from grants,” Garvey said.

McLafferty Annex will eventually be a one-stop shop for all types of interactive research, he said, including art, the humanities and engineering.

“We’re talking about not only the potential for great training opportunities for our students, but also lots and lots of grant support,” Garvey said. “Maybe there’s a cure for cancer in that spot.”

The altitude. The snow. The shuttle schedule. The sprawling theater venues. The throngs of selfie-seekers.

Navigating the Sundance Film Festival can be tricky enough before you even figure out which films you want to see. But don't panic: We've got you covered. Here are the six films you should brave the elements for in Park City this week. And if you're not headed to Utah, no need for FOMO — now you can pretend you're in the know (without any Fear of Missing Out).

"O.J. Made in America" (Special Events)

Got 7-plus hours to spare? Then settle in for this ESPN docuseries that explores the rise and fall of O.J. Simpson and how his murder trial raised questions about race in America. The lengthy series is being unveiled just weeks before the premiere of a fictionalized television series about Simpson, starring Cuba Gooding Jr., on FX. But you won't need a lunch break for that one.

"Goat" (U.S. Dramatic)OK, so it stars a former Jonas

brother. But don't write off director Andrew Neel's fraternity bro-drama just because lead Nick Jonas also happens to be a pop crooner. The film, about a college student who faces abusive hazing while pledging a frat, may raise timely questions about modern-

day masculinity."Manchester by the Sea"

(Premieres)Yes, his last release was

"Margaret" — that long-delayed, critically maligned film whose production troubles became the stuff of Hollywood legend. But writer-director Kenneth Lonergan is trying to move past all that with his latest drama, which stars Casey Affleck as a Boston handyman who suddenly becomes the guardian of his 16-year-old nephew. Lonergan is a Sundance favorite — his Oscar-nominated film "You Can Count

On Me" won the festival's Grand Jury Prize in 2000.

"Weiner" (U.S. Documentary Competition)

This should be juicy. After his sexting scandal in 2013, politician Anthony Weiner granted documentary filmmakers access to trail him as he launched a mayoral campaign. That meant Weiner's faithful wife, Huma Abedin — one of Hillary Clinton's most important aides who has worked alongside the presidential hopeful for the last two decades — would also be filmed. Whether this will affect

Clinton's White House bid, however, remains to be seen.

"Certain Women" (Premieres)Director Kelly Reichardt and

actress Michelle Williams reunite for their third collaboration in this film set in the American West. Reichardt — known for her quiet, dialogue-scant style — follows the lives of various Montana women played by Williams, Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart in her latest film. The filmmaker's first movie, 1994's "River of Grass," is also getting a special digitally remastered screening at the fest this year.

"The Birth of a Nation" (U.S. Dramatic)

Actor Nate Parker wrote, directed, produced and stars in this period piece about Nat Turner, the real-life figure who led a major slave rebellion in 1831 Virginia. Parker — last seen as the hunky cop in the romance "Beyond the Lights" — has roots at Sundance and earned a fellowship through the festival's lab. The 36-year-old worked on the script for his directorial debut (also starring Armie Hammer and Aja Naomi King) for the better part of a decade.

AMY KAUFMAN | LOS ANGELES TIMES

An artist signed to Rick Ross' music label will perform in Carbondale and his show will feature not only an SIU alumnus, but current students as well.

Maybach Music Group artist Stalley will perform at Hangar 9 on Wednesday thanks to university alumnus Shannon Waldron, who wants to bring more rap and hip-hop music to the area.

Waldron's marketing company, Urban Fêtes, worked with the venue to bring the 33-year-old rapper to Carbondale. He was inspired to bring such events to Carbondale when he heard other alumni say the area has lacked diverse entertainment in recent years.

“They were like, 'You need to do something in Carbondale. You should build a relationship

with a venue and put something together,'” Waldron said. "I’m almost disappointed at how the current event presence is right now in Carbondale, so whatever I can do to help that and provide a platform for the students and the folks who are down there, I’m willing to do that."

Caylan Hill, event and general manager of Hangar 9, said Waldron told him his plans for the event and he got on board. Hill said he isn't sure that Carbondale is lacking in diverse events, but he could understand how some people think that.

He said for Hangar 9, the only goal is to provide top-quality entertainment, regardless of genre, and Stalley fits the bill.

"We just want to put the best type of entertainment and events together for not only SIU and Carbondale, but for the whole

region of southern Illinois," he said. "We don't see it beneficial to look at it as an urban event or a country event or an older-crowd event. If it's good entertainment, that's all we really tend to focus on."

Dexavier Langham, an SIU alumnus who performs with the pseudonym Lost!, has opened for artists such as Juicy J and Twista, but said performing before Stalley means a lot to him.

“It’s a great opportunity to open up for such a talent,” Langham said. “[Stalley] has been grinding to get to where he’s going. Now he’s giving me the opportunity to do the same. It’s a stepping stone I have to go through, to get to where I’m trying to go.”

Dorian Huff, a senior from Chicago studying radio, television and digital media, is the show's DJ and vice president of Live Young, an

organization promoting the show. He helped choose the talent for the show, which includes at least three current students.

Huff reached out to students who had performed at "The Showcase" events hosted by Live Young along with registered student organizations, Underground Arts and Oops! Entertainment last semester. "The Showcase" was a weekly talent show that will return to campus Thursday in the Big Muddy Room of the Student Center.

“We looked to the people that were regulars that definitely put forth effort in putting together their music,” Huff said.

Albert Kroger, who goes by the stage name AJ 773, will open the show with Simba and Dun Dolla. Kroger said this will be the most important show he's ever

done. Simba, who's given name is Alexis Woodard, is a sophomore from Nashville, Tenn., studying journalism.

Hill said Hangar 9 listens to the public's ideas because the staff doesn't have all the connections to find artists to perform.

"When something sounds good and sounds like it makes sense for us to do, then we tend to try to form that relationship," he said.

Hill said he welcomes everyone to come and enjoy the show, especially those who wish to have more events like this in the future.

"It would be a little remiss if you're seeking out events such as this one, and then you don't show up to the events that do come to town," he said.

Freshman outside hitter Kolby Meeks has transferred to SIU from University of South Alabama for the spring semester.

In her freshman year for the Jaguars, Meeks played in 19 sets and in 9 matches. She averaged 1.47 points per set, 1.26 kills per set and had a .217 hitting efficiency.

Meeks had nine kills on 32 attempts and three block assists against University of Texas at Arlington last season.

While at Norcross High School in Georgia, Meeks was an All-State honorable mention after she recorded 431 kills and helped her team to an 6A Area 8 title.

Meeks is the sister of NBA player Jodie Meeks, who is plays for the Detroit Pistons. That makes two Saluki volleyball players with brothers in the NBA. Junior Hannah Kaminsky’s brother, Frank, plays for the Charlotte Hornets.

Saluki rebounding improving, but still a weaknessMen’s basketball coach Barry

Hinson repeatedly said before this season the Salukis would struggle to rebound the ball as the team’s tallest regular player is just 6-foot-7.

As expected, the team ranks in the bottom half of the Missouri Valley Conference in that department, but has managed to out-rebound its opponent in 13 of 21 games. The credit for the Salukis’ (18-3, 7-1 MVC) plus-24 rebound margin this season is due to two juniors.

Center Bola Olaniyan and forward Sean O’Brien have improved rebounding numbers from last year and are in the top

eight of the MVC this season. Olaniyan has nearly doubled

his rebounding output to 8.3 per game from last year’s 4.5. His mark is second in the MVC and 1.9 rebounds more than Indiana State junior guard Everett Clemons’ third-place average of 6.4 rebounds per game. His opponent in Thursday’s game, Evansville’s sophomore center Egidijus Mockevicius, leads the country at 14.5 rebounds per game.

Olaniyan said his coaches’ motivation pushed him to do better.

“They told me this is what I do best, so I just go do it,” he said.

Olaniyan is tied for the shortest starting center in the Valley at

6-foot-7. He said he uses instinct and toughness to make up for his smaller size.

“It’s a timing thing,” he said. “You have to see the ball and think about it that ‘This is where the ball is going’ and react. You have to want it more.”

Olaniyan treats every practice like a game by maintaining his physicality and toughness, and his teammates have taken notice.

“I’m scared to go [for a rebound] sometimes in practice,” said junior guard Tyler Smithpeters. “He just has a knack for knowing where the ball will be.”

Smithpeters isn’t the only one who noticed his teammates’ rough-

and-tumble ways.Last season Hinson said he was

worried by Olaniyan’s physical style of play. He said the Nigerian center played so hard, Olaniyan actually hurt his teammates during practice.

Meanwhile, O’Brien has improved from 4.9 rebounds per game to 6.0, tied for seventh in the MVC. He says rebounding is a natural talent that cannot be taught in practice.

“There’s not much you can work on in rebounding, you just have to want it more,” O’Brien said.

The duo’s 14.3 rebounds per game is creeping up on the rest of the team’s 20 rebound-per-game average. The 34.3 total rebounds

per game is No. 7 in the MVC out of 10 teams.

Senior guard Anthony Beane (3.4) is the only other Saluki to average more than three rebounds a game this season.

Coach Barry Hinson said the rest of his team, specifically guards, must work on rebounding.

“[The guards] know that,” he said. “It’s been an emphasis, and continue to be an emphasis, and I think we’ll improve on it.”

With Evansville’s big frontcourt coming to town this week, the Salukis must improve soon.

Saluki football staff young, but confidentWhen SIU football’s assistant head coach

Kraig Paulson graduated college, head coach Nick Hill was 2 years old.

Hill will be 31 years old when the first snap of the 2016 season is played, and most of his staff will be about the same age.

Paulson, who is also the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, is the only staff member not to graduate college between 2003 and 2011. He received his bachelor’s degree in education from Montana in 1987.

He has served as assistant coach and defensive coordinator as well as coaching defensive backs, linebackers, secondary and defensive ends in his career. He said his age can be a resource for younger coaches.

“I definitely haven’t seen it all, I don’t know that you ever do, but maybe there’s a situation that comes up I’ve experienced in the past and I can help out,” he said. “It’s all about experiences and what you do with them.”

Hill said he named Paulson the assistant head coach because of his experience, and the staff is exactly what he wanted.

“I wanted young, motivated coaches who are out to prove something … I didn’t want guys who had bounced around and were looking for a job for a paycheck,” he said. “We have experience from all different levels.”

For a comparison, five-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion North Dakota State has a median age of 40.1, while SIU has one coach older than 40.

Hill said age is only a number when it comes to coaching.

“If you can coach, you can coach,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what your age is.”

John Van Dam, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, graduated from Michigan State in 2008 after serving as a backup for five NFL quarterbacks.

He said he has taken something from each of the coaches he has worked with.
