The Department of Philosophy’s tenure and tenure-track faculty hiring plan states the department’s faculty is understaffed and has a diversity problem.

Faculty hiring plans can be submitted at the beginning of each fall semester by departments to its college requesting to search for potential hires. The philosophy department’s top request is to search for a professor to teach Africana Studies, and in part resolve its diversity issue, the plan states.

Stephen Tyman, interim chair of the philosophy department, said this is the third straight year the department has requested for a hire to teach Africana Studies. Kenneth Stikkers has taught the class for the last several years.

“The problem is that it’s not [Stikkers’] area of specialization,” said Tyman, who began as interim chair on Aug. 16 after the retirement of former chair George Schedler. “If he teaches in that area, then he has to vacate his area of specialization [American philosophy]. So we’re stretching him thin.”

John Flowers, co-chair of the Communications Committee of Graduate Assistants United, said more women and African-Americans are becoming interested in the philosophy field. He said if the department wants to remain competitive among other universities, it must hire a more diverse faculty member.

“One of the problems encountered in teaching African-American students is that they go to a philosophy class where they see someone who doesn’t look like them, and somebody who does not make the material relevant to their experience, so they check out,” said Flowers, a doctoral candidate from Oak Park studying philosophy. “Having an African-American scholar in the department indicates a commitment to bringing all kinds of voices into the field of philosophy and will attract more students of color. The same could be said for a woman.”

Twenty-four women, including undergraduates and graduates, either have a first, second, third or fourth major in philosophy this semester, stated university spokesperson Rae Goldsmith in an email Wednesday. Six philosophy students are

African-Americans, the email stated.Matt Ryg, president of the Graduate

and Professional Student Council, said he and Flowers are lobbying for a new faculty member.

“A third or little bit more than a third of our student population is of color, and zero percent of our faculty are of color,” said Ryg, a doctoral candidate from St. Paul, Minn., studying philosophy. “What message does that send to that entire group of our student population? Like, you’re not represented here.”

Tyman said the department lost three professors in the last several years: Schedler, Jed Delahoussaye, who left in 2011 and specialized in medieval philosophy and Pat Manfredi, who is currently serving administrative duties.

The department’s full-time faculty consists of one woman and eight men, Tyman said. Terri Wilson, an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Administration and Higher Education, and Larry Hickman, director of the Center for Dewey Studies, both teach part-time as well.

The science of alcohol has not been a formal area study for SIU students—until now.

SIU is adding a new Fermentation Institute, which will inhabit the remodeled McLafferty Annex.

The Illinois Board of Higher Education approved the institute last summer. Matt McCarroll, the director of the Fermentation Science Institute, has been working on the courses and details of the program.

McCarroll said fermentation is most commonly associated with beer, but the institute will teach brewing science, viticulture and enology, food areas, pharmaceuticals, industrial energy applications and energy production processes such as the ethanol fuel program. The institute will use lab analysis and lectures to teach subjects.

McCarroll said he started the process back in 2009 when he began teaching Chemistry 180. The course involves chemistry, microbiology, physics and engineering.

“Students are so interested in the beer and brewing process that you can sneak in the science,” he said. “A lot of times students get frustrated with learning science because they don’t have context for why what they’re learning is important. If you turn it around and talk about what is important and then teach science to make them understand the process, they stay interested.”

He said he started the process to make a program out of the course two years ago.

Laurie Achenbach, dean of the College of Science, said the first step of the process was filling out a reasonable and moderate extension, or RME, form. Then the form is approved by the appropriate dean before going to the provost, constituency groups affected, faculty senate and associate provost for academic affairs.

“After all those steps, the chancellor, president and Board of Trustees approve the document before sending it to the Illinois Board of Higher Education,” she said. “There is a very long list of approvals it must go through and it must meet very strict criteria in order to get approved at every step.”

McCarroll said the institute is in the process of pooling together interests and existing resources from different departments.

The institute will collaborate with the College of Science, the College of Agricultural Sciences and the College of Engineering. McCarroll said there is a possibility to work with the College of Business and the School of Law.

“A lot of our students will be looking into starting their own breweries,” he said. “So taking microeconomics will teach them how to run a business. There are also a lot of unique laws when it comes to working with alcohol so I hope [the School of Law] can help us with that.”

Mission StatementThe Daily Egyptian, the student-run newspaper of Southern Illinois University

Carbondale, is committed to being a trusted source of news, information, commentary and public discourse, while helping readers understand the issues affecting their lives.

Jim Garvey, vice chancellor for research, said the institute will be valuable from a research standpoint. He said the agricultural aspect of growing grains, microbiological aspect of yeast, flavoring, water and chemistry will all provide research opportunities.

He said a goal of the university is to become more interdisciplinary, where multiple colleges and departments will

work together toward a common goal. “We have a facility that is being built

and will be up and running soon and quite frankly, I’m really excited we’re going forward with it. I have high hopes for the institute,” Garvey said.

The institute will have a service lab, which will allow standard tests to be run on beer and wine, McCarroll said.

“Most of the breweries and wineries have equipment to do really simple tests,” he said. “There will be a lot of things we can do in our laboratory that [other

breweries] can’t.”McCarroll said the program will utilize

a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) which has the capability of separating compounds in a sample and identifying what the molecules are.

McCarroll said the institute will eventually be set up with an olfactory port. This will allow users to smell what is coming from the sample. The GC/MS will separate the compounds and send the sample into a snorkel to be smelled individually and identified, he said.

Although the institute is new, many of the classes will come from different departments and most instructors are already with the university, McCarroll said.

One faculty member the institute will need to hire is a tenure-track position. This will be a joint search between the College of Science and the College of Agriculture. He said the candidate would have a teaching and research focus and work with the institute.

McCarroll said he hopes the institute will be open to students for fall 2015.

Rabbi Mendel Scheiman and his wife Yochi prepare for Rosh Hashanah dinner, or the Jewish new year, Wednesday while watching their 9-month-old daughter Hindy at their home in Carbondale. The Scheimans have been prepping for the dinner for the past two weeks. “We have two fridges full of food and I had to go get more chairs for people,” Rabbi Mendel said. Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois, an Orthodox Jewish Hasidic movement, sent the Scheimans to Carbondale one year ago. “We help students to learn and understand our faith’s teachings,” Mendel said.

“We don’t have a very diverse faculty,” Tyman said. “For one thing, we’re all old. For another thing, we have over

one and a quarter [women faculty] and we don’t have an African-American, and we don’t have any Hispanics.”

The department has not hired a new faculty member since 2006, Tyman said. The department requested to hire

three new assistant professors, whose estimated annual salaries are $54,000 each, the plan states.

Tyman said 12 departments filed for a total of 24 position search requests in the College of Liberal Arts this semester.

“This is a priority for us, we need it this year,” Ryg said. “It’s funny that it’s easier to elect a black president of the United States than it is to get a faculty position in the SIU philosophy department.”

4 Thursday, sepTember 25, 2014 Southern Illinois Sp tlightElliot Ranney talks musical roots, influences and family

Mixing styles such as bossa nova, swing and folk, Elliot Ranney, a jazz musician based out of St. Louis, creates his own unique acoustic sound.

He has worked with numerous IRON�URFN� DUWLVWV� VXFK� DV� -RQDWKDQ�Brook and Shawn Phillips, as well as folk group Brewer & Shipley,

whom he has built a friendship with over the years.

The DAILY EGYPTIAN had the opportunity to talk to Ranney and discuss different aspects of his musical journey.

How did you get started

in music and playing acous-

tic guitar?

As far as I remember, I’ve al�ways been singing, since I was really young. And for some rea�son, I was watching a movie and there was a nun playing guitar. I thought that was cool and looked easy enough, so I got the guitar and it went right into the closet. Then P\�QH[W�GRRU�QHLJKERU�ZDV�SOD\�ing music with a friend of his and

I asked if I could come along. … I came along to their session and met these two guys, Tim and Steve, and they were writing their own songs. I just thought this was so cool.

Do you prefer an acoustic

sound over an electric, heavy gui-

tar sound?

That’s all I could get. My par�ents wouldn’t get me an electric guitar. At the time, I had wished I had gotten one, because there were some really great guitars out back in the late ‘60s. They sounded great and you could actually practice without an amp, but I have played acoustic ever since. The style of music I really got into was when I went and saw “The Graduate”

when it released in theaters. The Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack knocked me over, and so I decided that’s how I want to play.

Who influences you

musically?

I was into Simon and GarIXQNHO�IRU�DERXW�ÀYH�RU�VL[�\HDUV���Then I enlisted in the Navy and I started hearing other music, so I was listening to all kinds of stuff. I was listening to Led Zeppelin and I got into a band called Cats and Beyond, which was on the same label as The Allman Brothers Band. I was just listening to all this music. I wasn’t playing it.

Founded by banjo player Ben :ULJKW�DQG�XSULJKW�EDVVLVW�-RQ�*ROG�fine, the band includes Starr Moss

“When you play bluegrass in the Midwest, you know pretty much ev�eryone else who does,” he said. “We knew they were looking for a band, and we were looking for musicians.”

The Henhouse Prowlers travelled to several schools in Evanston in 2011, providing in�struction on bluegrass music as well as emphasizing the impor�tance of instruments.

“For kids in the Midwest, particularly in the Chicago area, people don’t really grow up lis�

tening to bluegrass,” he said. “It’s a good way to introduce people to different types of music and the versatility of instruments.”

During the last four years, the band has traveled to Europe, performing in countries such as Belgium and the Czech Republic.

Herrin girls continue cross-country success

The Herrin High School girls’ cross-country team is ready to run all the way to Detweiller Park in Peoria this fall.

Juniors Kara Martin and Maura Farrell led Herrin to the Illinois High School Association State Finals in Peoria as sophomores last year. They are poised to make a return trip this year.

Martin and Farrell took 15th and 16th out of the runners competing on teams and 29th and 30th overall. They finished the three-mile race in 18:31.

Last year’s success gives them motivation to improve.

“There’s definitely pressure, but the good kind,” Farrell said. “It really helps push me to go harder.”

Head coach Dusty Mallow said he knew Farrell and Martin would be good runners before they joined the team, but he was still surprised with their finishes last season.

“I knew they were going to do well,” Mallow said. “But that was a pretty impressive performance by both those young ladies.”

Martin and Farrell have met expectations so far this fall. The two have finished in the top 10 in every meet.

Martin took first place at the Herrin Invite, the West Frankfort Invite and the Massac County Invite. Farrell finished second at each of those events.

Martin said her goal is to beat Heather Elders’s school record of 18:03, set in 2002.

Farrell started running cross-country in fifth grade when a friend’s mother started a cross-country team, and she discovered how good she was at the sport.

Martin has been running cross-country since a friend’s father challenged her to run a few miles when she was in eighth grade. After she finished, he convinced her to join the cross-country team.

Martin spent her offseason running with the Marion Swamp Fox Track Club and training with the Marion boys’ cross-country team. Farrell trains on her own during the offseason. The two also run distance events for the Herrin girls’ track team.

For races, Mallow trains his runners to run with gates, which are groups of other runners. However, he needs a different approach for Martin and Farrell.

“With the rest of the team, we look for places that runners bunch up and try to get in the front of the pack,” Mallow said. “But with Maura and Kara, they usually are right

out at the front. So for them, it’s basically, ‘go as far as you can go.’”

Not only do Martin and Farrell consistently lead the team on the racecourse, but Mallow also sees them as leaders off it.

“It’s not always that your best runners are the leaders of your team,” Mallow said. “But Maura and Kara are both natural leaders. To do as well as they do, it makes their leadership job a little easier.”

Murray State University and SIUE have both expressed interest in Martin and Farrell. Martin has also received interest from Greenville College and North Central College. Farrell has also spoken with McKendree University and SIU.

Martin and Farrell said they push each other in practice and during races, even shouting words of encouragement to each other in the heat of competition.

Mallow said Martin and Farrell excel because of their desire to win and ability to tolerate pain in a grueling sport.

“That’s what this sport is all about,” Mallow said. “This isn’t a game. This is a real, in-your-face kind of sport.”

Safeties split time

A freshman safety created a depth issue for the Salukis, but it is one they will be happy to deal with.

Junior safety Anthony Thompson and freshman safety Ryan Neal split time in the Saluki defense. Head coach Dale Lennon said Neal was ready to play from the start of practices.

“In pre-fall camp he showed some instincts right away that were pretty impressive,” he said. “He has athletic talent and that physical maturity that you need in a college football player.”

Thompson started for SIU in week one against Taylor University and Neal started every game since. The two players do not look at it as a position battle, but a rotation, so they can stay rested during games.

Thompson said there is a friendly relationship between the two players.

“We get to help each other,” he said. “If he sees something he’ll tell me. If I see something he didn’t see, I’ll let him know.”

They have combined for 22 tackles this season, 18 of which are Neal’s.

“I can’t even lie, I’m kind of surprised,” he said. “It didn’t really sink in until last week when we walked out on Purdue’s field. I was like ‘I’m doing something that’s not common.’ It feels pretty good.”

Thompson said he did not expect to be the starter despite playing in 12 games last season. His goal was to help the team as much as possible, which includes helping Neal.

“When he came in I tried to help him out with the calls since he wasn’t here in the spring,” Thompson said. “He picked it up fast, which is good, then he got his playing time.”

Thompson said Neal picked up the defensive system quickly because of his high intellect. When the coaches told him to correct something, he did it, Thompson said.

Neal said when he came to the university he did not expect to receive significant playing time his freshman season. He said people called him undersized, but it did not concern him.

“I was focused to not get redshirted,” he said. “I thought I would, because of my weight.”

He said he was just concerned with making the roster as a special team player.

“My focus was to make the special teams immediately. I did not think I’d be rotating or starting, but I did think I was going to make the kickoff or some kind of special team.”

Ryan is not the first member of the Neal family to play Division I football; the family has a strong football pedigree. His brother Matthew plays defensive tackle for the University of Idaho. His oldest brother Mike played outside linebacker for Purdue University before being drafted by the Green Bay Packers.

Neal said he and his brothers pushed each other to be better when they were growing up.

“We all went to the same high school,” he said. “My brother would always say, ‘I bet you can’t do this, I bet you can’t make this team or that team.’ So it was definitely competition. I want to be better than my oldest brother.”

Mike won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2011. He said Mike’s success makes him push to get the

same level.“He did the Super Bowl, he got the ring. I’ve seen

the ring and it just gives you hope,” Neal said. “If he can do it, I can do it.”

Neal said he is still progressing at the Division I level.“Every week I learn something new,” he said.

“Every time I make a mistake on the field or during game day coach tells me to fix it … You just keep doing what you’ve got to do, and you learn something new every week.”
