Fuller Dome could make comeback as museum Preservation board looks forward with grant money, new members ELI MILEUR Daily Egyptian A local organization’s dream of recovering the geodesic dome — home of R. Buckminster Fuller and his reputation in the community — is taking shape this year. “Once it’s open ‌ it’s going to open the floodgates,â€? said Brent Ritzel, president of the Fuller Dome organization. The group has seen major developments in 2011, including a $125,000 matching-fund grant from the National Park Service and several appointments to the board of directors. The group’s goal is to renovate Fuller’s former home on Forest Street and open it as a museum.
Renovation on the house will begin in April and be finished by the end of the year, Ritzel said. He said the organization currently has about $30,000 to match the grant. Total renovation costs for the dome will amount to about $300,000, said Jane Donoghue, program director for the organization. The dome is currently covered by a tarp to prevent further leaking from its roof; several ceiling panels are missing inside, water damage and mold have set, the original cork floor has been torn and fans run non-stop to keep things dry. In short, the home of the future has seen better days. Please see DOME | 2

Abuse victims experience trauma for years to come Student group promotes domestic violence awareness KARL BULLOCK Daily Egyptian Rashaud Media said he was 3 years old when he first witnessed abuse against a woman. Media, a junior from Aurora studying criminal justice, said he was at a his cousin’s birthday party and saw his uncle abusing his aunt. At the age of seven, Media witnessed his aunt get slapped by her husband. Both situations caused him to look at women differently. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Media, president of Progressive Masculinities Mentors, said his experiences have influenced members of the organization to raise awareness on the issue. The group has had multiple forums during the month, and also throughout the year, on the types of abuse women are victims to such as sexual, physical and verbal abuse. Women at the university and nationwide who are victims of domestic violence and abuse can face serious trauma if they do not receive help in time. The effects of abuse toward a woman include her psychological, mental, emotional and physical state, said Anna Margrum, case manager of the Domestic Violence Program at
the Women’s Center. The Women’s Center defines domestic violence as any negative behavior causing fear, and intimidation used to gain power and control over a person with whom someone is on intimate terms. Forms of abuse are verbally attacking the victim in public or private, acting possessive, forcing the victim to have sex, insulting the victim or keeping the victim from working or becoming financially dependent. “Women that suffer abuse tend to lose self-esteem and they tend to see themselves the way their abusers see them sometimes,� Margrum said. “Because they are so belittled and talked to in such horrible manners, mentally it can really take a toll because their worth gets damaged.� Margrum said the physical damage can range from little to severe depending on the situation. There are instances where women have to be hospitalized for broken bones, broken jaws and bruises which she said is dangerous because it can ultimately lead to the death of the victim or the abuser. “Sometimes women tolerate abuse to the point where they feel, next time, their life is at stake and they kill him (the abuser),� she said. Media said he credits his mother for enforcing the importance of respecting women. He said a child who witnesses a male figure being overly aggressive gives the impression that it is okay for the abuse to happen. “If no one is there to tell them it’s wrong, they may grow up and begin to do it in their relationship as well,�

Smith said she was mentally and physically abused by her mother, raped by her mother’s boyfriend, screamed at and called different names. “Basically it broke me down but at the same time it made me stronger because I actually stood up to it at certain times," she said. Smith said her experiences have made her realize she does not want to be abusive or negative towards anyone at any point in her life. “If I were to put someone down everyday, it would remind me of
how I felt in that situation,� she said. Although it can be tough to watch a friend or loved one endure abuse, Margrum said the important thing to do is listen to them and avoid trying to give out advice. “A lot of times what that will do is alienate the friend to the point where your communication is cut off,� she said. “You want to keep communication open and if possible, suggest giving them information regarding help services.� Smith said while it might sound cliche, the best thing to do is get help as soon as possible. “The first sign it may not be a big deal, but you still need to get help because those steps can get worse

and they do get worse,� she said. “You must care about yourself enough to do that.� Smith said raising awareness about domestic violence is important because it creates avenues for victims to receive help and hear stories that can encourage them to get help as well. “I think it’s important to raise awareness because after I told my story, I actually felt better and felt there was someone there for me,� she said.� I feel me telling my story will help someone in the future."

However, the restoration will bring the house back to the exact state it was in when Fuller constructed it in 1960, said Jon Davey, new board member and professor of architecture. Among the many ideas, coinages and “artifacts,” as he referred to them, that he’s associated with, the geodesic dome is perhaps Fuller’s most recognizable. He did not actually invent the dome, which was first created by German engineer Walther Bauersfeld, said Peter Bahn, new board member and patent attorney from Mount Vernon. Fuller, however, patented and popularized it, he said. Geodesic domes consist of shells of interconnected triangular elements. Famous examples include the futuristic Spaceship Earth (another Fuller coinage) at Walt Disney World and the Fullerdesigned Montréal Biosphere. Fuller came to SIU in 1959 as a professor in the School of Art and Design. He built the house in 1960 and lived there with his wife and daughter until he left Carbondale in 1971. It was the only geodesic dome he ever lived in, said Donoghue. The dome is one of the three architectural treasures in southern Illinois, Davey said, along with the Duncan-Elkhorn house in Cobden and the Stinson Library in Anna. He said once it is back in its original state, it should be a tourist destination.

IU doesn’t have a lot of illustrious people come through it, but it did have one. — Peter Bahn new board member and patent attorney
“I see a throng of people coming to visit it,” he said. Donoghue said the board also hopes to attract artists and scholars to live and work in the finished dome. The finished dome will be an opportunity for the university to capitalize on Fuller’s legacy in Carbondale, Ritzel said. Fuller’s reputation at the university is much less prominent than his international one, Bahn said. He said SIU has done little to promote his connection with the university. “SIU doesn’t have a lot of illustrious people come through it, but it did have one,” he said. He said the university does not appear to appreciate his legacy as it might. “Otherwise, the university would have been the first one to renovate (the dome),” he said. “It’s sort of a Don Quixote kind of group trying to preserve this thing.” However, there are many individuals within the university who are working to spread Fullers’ word, Ritzel said. Davey said he teaches about Fuller’s ideas in classes. The board’s vice-president, Thad Hackman, is an assistant instructor of architecture,
and new board member Jay Needham is an associate professor in the radio-television department. Davey is trying to secure a permanent memorial for Fuller on campus. The steel geodesic dome near Quigley Hall is currently on loan to the university, he said. But he is raising funds now to purchase it from the manufacturer at half its normal cost and landscape around it. Perhaps the gesture will reach out to Fuller’s family. Fuller’s daughter, Allegra Fuller Snyder, visited the university in 2010 and Donoghue said she asked her if she would come back. “She said, ‘The only way I’ll ever come back to Carbondale is if there’s a proper memorial for my father,’” Donoghue said. Looking toward the future, Ritzel said he thinks the restored dome house will be a great educational tool, and Fuller is a great model for innovation. Artifacts or not, geodesic domes are not things of past, he said. “It still has its day ahead of it,” Ritzel said.

Be thankful some things come in pairs
LAURAANN WOOD Daily Egyptian Here is a test: What do you do if you’re in a department store and a smoke bomb all of a sudden explodes and threatens to choke you and others in the store? If a gas-mask brassiere didn’t immediately come to mind, then consider that test failed. Yes, there really is such an undergarment. No, this is no joke. The Emergency Bra, which has been around for almost a year now, is designed to fulfill a woman’s primary needs of an upper chest support system in terms of function, color and appeal. However, should an emergency arise, the Emergency Bra can be unfastened, separated and transformed into two fully functional gas masks — one for the wearer and one for any needy bystander who can look past the absurdity of wearing half a bra on his or her face. This product is sold online for $29.99, before shipping and handling, and sizes range from 32B to 40C. Apparently, no one in the world has a size A or D face. Even better, clothes need not be removed! Simply unhook the fasteners around the back, unclip the cups in front and slide the straps down your arm to bring the rest of the contraption out of the sleeve. Then, place the cup over your face, wrap the fastening band
H
around the neck and the removable shoulder strap can be worn at the user’s discretion. The cup, which is specifically designed to fit snugly over the face, consists of five air filtration layers, a cotton liner and a N95 grade surgical mask, along with a bra cup attached to two nylon liners. Memory inserts allow for the tight fitting on the face, from the bridge of the nose to under the chin. According to its website, the crazy construction can apparently filter out chemicals as harsh as those released during the 1986 Ukrainian Chernobyl disaster and protects wearers’ lungs from harmful chemicals released from fire, explosions, radiation and other natural disasters. Elena Bodnar, the contraption’s inventor, is a Ukraine native who now calls Chicago her home as the founder and president of Chicago’s Trauma Risk Management Research Institute. She started her medical career studying the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster. According to the Emergency Bra website, it was her experience in the plant’s evacuation and children’s treatment that inspired her to design something that would be readily available and easily accessed in case of emergency. Don’t worry men, you haven’t been left hanging. The Emergency Shirt, which made its world debut earlier this year, can be converted into a facemask for those who are too proud to wear women’s underwear on their face. What makes the shirt so protective is the extra filtration layer between the shoulders when converted from back to front. Bodnar’s invention is not only lifesaving, but award-winning as well. In 2009, she received the Ig Nobel Public Health Prize for reaching out to the world in an effort to protect people against harmful inhalants that come with explosive crises. The Ig Nobel Prize is a play off of the Nobel Prize and is awarded by the Annals of Improbable Research, Harvard University’s science humor magazine, for achievements that “first make people laugh and then make them think,” according to the Ig Nobel website.
owever, should an emergency arise, the Emergency Bra can be unfastened, separated and transformed into two fully functional gas masks — one for the wearer and one for any needy bystander who can look past the absurdity of wearing half a bra on his or her face.

The Emergency Bra, invented and patented by Elena Bodnar, pictured, is designed specifically to protect ladies’ ladies against gravity, while at the same time being readily available to transform into a gas mask for protection against harmful inhalants in case of emergency. Other 2009 awards include the chemistry prize, awarded to Javier Morales, Miguel Apátiga, and Victor Castaño of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México for creating diamonds from tequila.

After months of being drilled, conditioned and weight trained, Lindsay said his teammates are eager to play opponents who are not Salukis. “We’ve been beating up on each other everyday in practice, so it will feel good to practice what
we’ve learned against someone else,” Lindsay said. While the scrimmage will be a step up in intensity from Maroon Madness, assistant coach Anthony Stewart said the game will be more about proper execution than the final score. Stewart said he knows exactly what he wants to see from his guards during the scrimmage.
“We expect them to play really hard and get after it defensively. We like to see a lot of energy, enthusiasm and hard work,” Stewart said. “We still want to win; winning is the objective of everything we do. We just want to see everybody’s effort, our continuity as a team and how we gel.” Lowery agreed that play time is
Daily Egyptian something the players need to earn. “I think their energy and effort will determine when they come in and out; how hard you play will decide when you come out,” Lowery said. He said how the players handle an actual game’s atmosphere is crucial as they head into the season. “You can’t set a rotation until

you’ve played a game. Sometimes, guys play better in game setting than they have shown in practice,” Lowery said. “Learning to play with people in the stands and real referees — that’s a big issue for most of our new guys.”

Salukis determined to salvage a losing season CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian The Salukis’ four-game losing streak eliminated the team’s chances for postseason football, but junior outside linebacker Jayson DiManche said the team still has something to play for. “We just want to play real hard for these seniors,” DiManche said. “We want to play as hard as we can for those guys and we want to make sure they go out as winners.” He said it has been a tough season for the team’s morale but the players are focused on the four remaining games. “The season may not have been what we wanted it to be, but winning can solve a lot of problems,” DiManche said. SIU (2-5, 1-4 Missouri Valley Football Conference) will try to

get out of its month-long losing funk when they welcome the Illinois State University Redbirds (5-3, 3-2 MVFC) to Saluki Stadium. Saturday’s Maroon Out game is set with kickoff scheduled for 2:30 pm. The Redbirds will fly into Carbondale with a three game winning streak and the conference’s top-ranked rush defense. ISU has allowed an average of only 73.2 rushing yards per game, more than 30 yards fewer than the second-leading team in the conference. Coach Dale Lennon said
— Jayson DiManche SIU outside linebacker the Redbird defense will be the determining factor of the game. “Running the ball is going to be the biggest challenge,” Lennon said. “Our players are confident in our blocking schemes. When a team is playing good defense, there is no magic trick to make it work; you just have to go out and do it.” This is the second week in a row the Salukis matched up against the conference’s top run defenses. Lennon said adjustments will be made to the team’s game plan, but success will only come if the team sticks to what has worked
for them in the past. He said his team’s success is based on its ability to run the football. “We just have to do what we do best and establish what we think we’re best at,” Lennon said. “If we don’t have that ability, then we put ourselves at more of a risk.” The Salukis are now at risk of having a losing season. Freshman tight end MyCole Pruitt said he is now focused on the team’s determination to escape a losing season and to salvage the four remaining games. The best record the
Salukis could now finish with is 6-5 overall, and 5-4 in conference. “We would love to have a .500 season,” Pruitt said. “We just have to improve. The games we have been losing have been by a real close margin.” In order for this to happen, Pruitt said the team can’t afford any distractions, especially the current month-long losing streak. “We just need to make sure our team doesn’t fall apart after two tough losses,” Pruitt said. “We just got to make sure we pull together and be more of a team than we were before … and make sure the rest of the season doesn’t go to waste.”

SIU volleyball to battle Evansville for conference standing JOE RAGUSA Daily Egyptian Saluki volleyball takes a fivegame losing streak on the road to Evansville as they try to climb out of seventh place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings. “The thing we need to do is not let that get to us and just play volleyball,” said head coach Brenda Winkeler. “Obviously we want to win ball games, but we have to stay confident at this point to get better.” SIU (9-11, 3-8 Missouri Valley Conference) takes on an Evansville (12-14, 2-9 MVC) team Friday they
defeated Sept. 30, 3-2 , but Winkeler said this isn’t the same team they faced last month. “They’re running a different offense most of the time; they’re switching a lot of people in and out,” Winkeler said. “It’s the same basic mechanics though. They’re going to run a quick offense so we have to keep them off-system by serving and ball control.” Part of the ball control aspect will be handled by junior setter Rachael Brown, and she said they need to speed up their attack to keep the Purple Aces off balance. “We’ve worked on speeding up
the right side of our attack, and I think (the team) has done a good job adjusting to the new set and being effective with it,” Brown said. The Saluki attack might be without junior outside hitter Laura Thole, who injured her left hand in practice this week and is questionable for Friday. Thole leads the team with 846 total attacks. “We have probably four or five capable outside hitters that can fill that position,” Brown said. “We hope for her to be back but if not, we’ll have somebody to fill that place.” Winkeler said the team has been working with junior middle blocker
Alexis Braghini to fill that void on the left side, along with sophomore outside hitter Elly Braaten and senior right side hitter Amanda Arnold. With sophomore outside hitter Emily Less out for the season with a knee injury, Winkeler admits the team is starting to get thin with outside hitters, but she said they aren’t worried. “Sometimes when people get the opportunity for the first time to play a new position, they find themselves really stepping up,” Winkeler said. Evansville is right behind SIU in the standings, in eighth place,
so assistant coach Peter Chang said this game means as much to them as it does for the Salukis. “It’s going to come down to a dog fight; it’s going to be war. They’re very comfortable playing on their home (court), and obviously we’re on the road so we’ll have to focus a little bit more,” Chang said. “It’s going to come down to who wants it more, and the mental side of the game is going to be a huge factor this weekend.”

Effort becomes theme for upcoming basketball season AKEEM GLASPIE Daily Egyptian The SIU men’s basketball team will get back to the court as it welcomes the University of Illinois-Springfield for an exhibition game to kickoff the 2011-12 season. This will be the first opportunity for the coaches, players and fans to see the team in action as it takes on the Division II Prairie Stars at 2:05 p.m. Sunday at the SIU Arena. With eight incoming players, including junior walk-on guard Kourtney Goff, the Salukis will adjust to a revamped lineup compared to the 2010-11 season. Junior guard T.J. Lindsay said he plans for the team’s off-court relationship to translate to on-court harmony. “Our team chemistry is getting stronger everyday; we’re like a family in the locker room,� Lindsay said. “We just got to bring the
locker room (atmosphere) to the court and gel.� Head coach Chris Lowery said the scrimmage will be key to find out what roles the newcomers will play on the team. “Having different guys play with different guys; seeing who gels,� Lowery said. “We can see it already at this point, but now we have to play an actual scrimmage where we are all on one team.� Lowery said the team needs to improve the game of its guards who are heading into the season. Last season, the team failed to have a doubledigit scorer from the guard position, but sophomore guard Diamond Taylor said he could fill that role. “I definitely think I can be that player, but whatever role the coach wants me to be, I’ll be it,� Taylor said. “I can bring all aspects to the game. I can defend, I can score when needed, pass and rebound.� Please see BASKETBALL | 5
