Not all turkeys reach the table
ISAAC SMITH | DAILY EGYPTIAN
Maria Farris, of Cambria, shows off Snowball, her son's turkey, Monday at her home. Snowball is a White Turkey and weighs approximately 45 lbs. Farris, who works for the Williamson County Farm Bureau, travels to elementary schools around the county to
educate students on the benefits of farming and raising turkeys. Farris said her friend gave Noah, her son, the birds because she knew he would not hurt them. When asked if she eats turkey for Thanksgiving, Farris laughed and said, “Yeah we do, just not ours.�
Local organizations make Thanksgiving possible ELI MILEUR Daily Egyptian If the economy has taken Thanksgiving dinner off the table for some people, local food pantries and soup kitchens are helping to put it back. “There’s more of a need than a lot of people probably realize,� said JoAnn Grammer, director of University Baptist Church’s food pantry. University Baptist Church and Good Samaritan House Ministries will hand out food from their pantry during the holiday, as they do yearround. Also, the Newman Catholic Student Center will host Thanksgiving dinner Thursday. Grammer, who also works at the Good Samaritan soup kitchen, said they direct people toward the Newman Center’s dinner. The Newman Center dinner
serves around 800 people a year with 75 turkeys, said coordinator Linda Brayfield. She said it’s open to anyone who wants to come, and includes a wide array of Thanksgiving staples. “You name it, we’ve got it,� Brayfield said. She said the dinner provides an opportunity for people who may not have a family to celebrate with or who can’t afford to prepare one. They also make deliveries for those unable to come to the Newman Center, Brayfield said. The many volunteers, who started preparing the dinner Monday and some who will spend the holiday serving others, also get something out of the experience: the feeling of doing something for someone else, she said. Brayfield said economic hardship has hit a lot of people recently, which could make the
dinner even more popular. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up this year, but we’re ready,� she said. Grammer said the University Baptist Church food pantry has seen a huge increase in use since she took over in June. She said when she started they served 30 to 40 people every Monday and Friday. That number has jumped to 70 to 90, she said. However, Grammer said donations from other churches, businesses, organizations and community members have kept them stocked. “The people from Carbondale are great. There’s no way we’d survive without them,� she said. Grammer said the Boy Scouts gave them a huge donation of 6,000 items Saturday, but it doesn’t take long for that food to disappear.

JoAnn Grammer, of Johnston City, unpacks food Monday at the Good Samaritan Food Pantry at University Baptist Church. Grammer, food service manager, has worked at the pantry for two years. The pantry serves up to 91 families per day, depending on the time of year, and runs with about 15 volunteers. Volunteer Mike Morgan, of Carbondale, said he came in 10 years ago to ask how he could help. He said he has been a volunteer at the pantry ever since.

Jesuit arrested for alleged sex assault in Colo. Colorado authorities say a Jesuit priest in Chicago accused of sexually assaulting a minor 10 years ago has been arrested. The Douglas County sheriff’s office said that Rev. Richard James Kurtz was arrested Monday in Chicago. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had a lawyer. The assault allegedly happened in Douglas County, south of Denver, in 2001 while Kurtz was working as a chemistry teacher at the University of Detroit High School in Detroit. Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said Kurtz’s order notified the department in June about the alleged assault. He said Kurtz and the alleged male victim knew each another but he couldn’t say where the victim was from or what they were doing in Colorado because the case is sealed. He said there’s no connection with any Colorado church.

59 charged in Chicago-area shoplifting sting Cook County prosecutors say police have arrested 59 people in connection with a professional shoplifting operation in the Chicago area. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said the organized retailed theft ring targeted stores and malls in suburban Chicago and along Michigan Avenue. The pre-holiday shopping season effort was called “Operation Whoville.” Prosecutors say those involved would steal from the store and then resell the merchandise. Investigators went undercover in stores during the operation that started in mid-October. Stolen items included clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and electronics. Authorities estimated the value of stolen items in the tens of thousands of dollars. One stolen vase was valued at more than $5,000.

Baby gorilla born at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo An endangered gorilla baby was born Thursday at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Zoo officials said Monday the baby girl will be introduced to the public on Tuesday. She is the first Western lowland gorilla born at the zoo since 2005. The baby gorilla doesn't have a name yet. Her mother is 15-year-old Bana, who gave birth for the first time. Her father is Kwan, a 22-year-old silverback gorilla. The zoo said in release that the father has “stayed protectively close to mother and baby.” The baby is the 49th gorilla born at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Karen Jones, acting associate dean of the College of Agricultural Science, was the other candidate

There were four candidates for Associate Provost of Academic Programs and James Allen, a history professor and director of office of assessment and program review, was chosen for that position Monday. University spokesman Rod Sievers said the person who holds the position will be the university’s

As part of his new position, Allen will assess every program at the university to make sure students get the most out

Samaritan House Ministries from individuals typically increase during the holiday season, said Executive Director Mike Heath earlier in the month. Since major cuts from donors, including the St. Louis Area Food Bank, Good Samaritan is in the midst of a
budget crisis, he said. However, a wave of food drives have kept the pantry well-stocked, he said. Rebelsky said Victory Dream Center also hosted a Thanksgiving dinner Saturday. She said they cooked for nearly 75 guests. The dinner was open to anyone and
guaranteed second helpings, she said. “Thanksgiving isn’t Thanksgiving without seconds,” she said.

International students, staff celebrate nontraditional Thanksgiving BRENDAN SMITH Daily Egyptian Many American college students are accustomed to returning home and spending Thanksgiving with family and friends alongside classic holiday dishes, but most international students and staff said they have different holiday experiences. Ai Saito, a sophomore from Soka-shi, Saitama, Japan, studying photojournalism, said her Thanksgiving break will give her the opportunity to reconnect with her culture. She and her Japanese friends plan to spend their Thanksgiving in Chicago. “In Chicago, there are Japanese restaurants, Japanese grocery stores,"
Saito said. "Basically, we’re going to Chicago for that. We miss our culture.” Saito said they make traditional Japanese dishes twice a week but want to spend this break relaxing and enjoying company while having others prepare meals. Saito said many of her friends have invited her to Thanksgiving dinner, but she's already planned the Chicago trip. However, she said she will attend the dinner that her ministry, Chi Alpha, is holding Saturday. She said the dinner is geared toward international students as an alternative for those without holiday plans. Narayanan Iyer, an assistant professor of journalism, said he has made a tradition out of celebrating Thanksgiving with a co-worker, who
he also considers a friend. “It's something we’ve come to look forward to,” Iyer said. “Left by ourselves, Thanksgiving doesn’t mean much because were aren’t native to this culture, so we really don’t know what the thanks is all about.” Iyer said since his time at graduate school, families have always been welcoming and opened their homes during the holiday. While Iyer was a student at Indiana University, he said he received an email from the internwational students office informing him of a host family who would contact him and introduce him to their Thanksgiving day traditions. He said the opportunity exposed him to an aspect of American culture he wouldn't have seen otherwise.
“It was a wonderful experience because this was the first time I got to see Americans as a part of a larger family,” Iyer said. “Usually when you meet people, it’s always a very individualist setting. You rarely see people with their uncles and aunts and a larger family gathering." Linda Brayfield, Thanksgiving coordinator for the Newman Catholic Student Center, said the center's Thursday dinner is all-inclusive and many international students attend the event. In its 43rd year, Bayfield said the dinner provides a Thanksgiving celebration for campus and community members. Iyer said although he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving without an American host, he is considering
doing so for his daughter. He said they would approach Thanksgiving and other American holidays a bit differently because his wife is vegetarian and the two have raised their daughter the same. "It might not be turkey, but just so (my daughter) doesn’t feel left out when everyone else is celebrating and she has nothing to look forward to," he said. "It will be part of the process of mixing and matching cultures.” He said he and his wife are Hindu, so they don't celebrate Christmas. He said they may expose their daughter to the holiday traditions because his daughter's peers celebrate it. “My wife and (I) were thinking we might have to start these traditions, like buying a Christmas tree,” Iyer said.

Campaign focuses on boiler education JACQUELINE MUHAMMAD Daily Egyptian After attempting to terminate the Physical Plants’ coal operation, the Beyond Coal Campaign has changed its mission to retiring the two stoker boilers instead. Adam Reaves, field organizer for the SIU Beyond Coal Campaign, said the campaign will focus on educating students and the campus community about health dangers associated with the stoker boilers and urge the administration to retire them. “We are pressuring the SIU Carbondale administration to set a retirement date for the two stoker boilers in the campus physical plant,” he said in an email. “These two boilers are hardly used and responsible for the majority of dangerous emissions from the plant.” Reaves said Beyond Coal has gained American Lung Association’s support, and nearly 2,000 students and faculty have signed a petition in support of the campaign. He said there are 16 universities nationwide that have committed to retiring their campus plants, including the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, Eastern Illinois University and Western Illinois University. Neil Saffelder, chief operating engineer of the Physical Plant, said the plant's stoker boilers operate seasonally to supplement the load on the circulation fluidized bed, an energy-efficient boiler that combusts gas and solids to cause less harm to the environment. He said the university cannot produce the amount of steam needed to power the campus with just the CFB boiler. The stoker boilers are older boilers generated by burning coal to stop sulfur from emitting

Scott Cralley, a stationary engineer at the Physical Plant, displays the stoker grate in one of the university’s two stoker fired boilers, both of which were built in the early 1960s. The boilers’ burning, into the atmosphere, he said. Reaves, a full-time campus organizer for the Illinois branch of the Sierra Club — an environmental group stationed throughout the country that helps coordinate the campaign and raise awareness — said after exchanges with the staff of the physical plant and the administration, Beyond Coal wants to present other alternatives and show the university that retiring the boilers is a feasible option. Saffelder said the stoker boilers produce less than 10,000 tons of energy, and there is no technology
that allows sulfur to be properly removed from the coal. He said the Physical Plant’s staff understands the need for up-to-date technology. They are looking for alternatives to the stoker boilers because the Environmental Protection Agency may change regulations by 2014, and the stoker boilers may not comply with future regulations, Saffelder said. “New technology would be considerably more expensive,” he said. “We are always concerned about operating under compliance and right now, in order to make
which cannot be cleaned to stop sulfur from being emitted into the atmosphere, are only used a fraction of the year to help supplement the other boilers, which use more recent technology. the transition from stoker boilers, we will need to look at the cost, the different options and make an informed decision.” Jarid Perrin, a junior from Lindenwood studying forestry, said students have been a vital part of the campaign. He said Beyond Coal has been able to gather student support through petitions, phone calls and campaign tables. As they move forward with the campaign, Perrin said the focus is to further educate supporters. Beyond Coal will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. Tuesday to gather more support
and present the information it has gathered to the administration. Reaves said both the plant’s operators and university administrators have been willing to meet with group members, and he hopes they can come to a resolution in the coming months. “By setting a date to retire these boilers, it shows the university’s commitment to student health … they can’t ignore our commitment, effort and diligence,” he said.

Censorship bills threaten structure of the Internet Washington’s web war: Congress awaits hearing for infringement laws
BRENDAN SMITH Daily Egyptian The Internet is the pulse of modern society. It is an information superhighway, a means of communication and a haven for individual expression. And above all, the Internet is a pure exploration in freedom of information. However, recent federal legislation threatens the structure and liberty of the World Wide Web. The Stop Online Piracy Act was introduced Oct. 26 to the United States House of Representatives by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The bill and Senate counterpart, the Protect IP Act, proposes giving the U.S. attorney general the power to blacklist search engines, Internet service providers, advertising networks and payment companies who associate themselves with websites that are deeply engaged in copyright infringement, without the option of a court trial or hearing.
Sites that host free music, movies and TV shows (i.e. ThePirateBay, Hulkshare and Mediafire) would be blocked, forcing search engines such as Google and Yahoo to remove links to the sites, as well as requiring advertising and credit card companies to sever all business with the websites. Blogs, forums, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts would become breeding grounds for government intervention. By simply uploading a clip of last night’s gripping conclusion of “Jersey Shore� or a link to the latest in Ke$ha’s vocal stylings, a single user would leave a corporation liable for copyright infringement. While debates over Robert Pattinson’s hair and Kim Kardashian’s wedding continue to trend through cyberspace, social networks like Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook are being used as tools of social and political changes amongst young people throughout the world. The entire Occupy movement grew from a blog depicting
Americans’ testimonies as members of the 99 percent. Citizens in Egypt and other countries apart of the Arab Spring completely utilized the Internet to document the shift in their socioeconomic systems. With restriction of information extending from the Middle East to SIU, where students saw their comments deleted from Facebook, it’s clear that Internet censorship is happening on both macro and micro levels. This legislation would make it worse. Under the bills, companies that own the copyright to content they claim is being infringed upon would go directly to the Department of Justice to request that the material be removed. Prosecutors would approach a judge with the material in question and the judge would in turn rule on the removal of the website. Rulings could be made in a matter of hours. Once again the government and massive profit-driven corporations find themselves as bedfellows. America’s largest export, the
entertainment industry, has pushed hard for the legislation, which has 24 co-sponsors in the House. The Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and other supporters of the bills have spent more than $280 million lobbying for passage. Free speech and civil liberties organizations and several Web companies have spent $30 million lobbying for defeat. Web pioneers Google, eBay, AOL, Facebook, Yahoo, Zynga, LinkedIn, Mozilla and others ran their letter of opposition to members of Congress as a full-page ad in Wednesday’s edition of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Washington Times. Pending these media giants against the MPAA and the RIAA is another case of clash of the companies, with everyday citizens suffering from the outcome. Hollywood and the recording industry see the web as a drain on their income. They also see the revenue potential of forcing everyone
to pay for content. It’s clear people aren’t buying their sub-par sequels, unnecessary remakes and lackluster attempts into the third dimension. But the college kids who bootleg media are not the reason Hollywood is in a slump. It’s because the web provides endless amounts of options and allows users and their peers to share content that caters to their specific demands and interests – for free. These bills would demolish a slew of emerging websites and cripple the evolution of the Internet. Had SOPA been passed a few years ago, startup sites like YouTube, SoundCloud and Dropbox would’ve been completely obliterated from the web. Think about it – no YouTube, no Justin Bieber. Then where would America be? User-generated content is what propels the World Wide Web, and as long as that content avoids obvious illegalities such as child pornography and doesn’t attempt a profit from copyrighted material, it should not be regulated.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Turkey Bowl trivializes animal suffering Dear editor: I was disheartening to see the story “Turkey Bowl� in Thursday’s edition of the Daily Egyptian. While I commend any effort to help people quit smoking, I question why it is necessary to throw frozen turkeys in the process. Turkeys that will end up on Thanksgiving centerpieces almost
never live the idyllic life portrayed in classic accounts of Thanksgiving. These turkeys do not wander through the woods, they do not peck at food in the barnyard. Rather they live a life in cramped cages at crowded factories where they are pumped full of hormones before being killed and packaged for consumers. I make it a point to not impose my
vegan beliefs on others; extremism is no way to win converts. But the idea of a life so worthless that its life of suffering is not even worthy of sustaining another being as food is disgusting. The turkeys’ lives of suffering are worth nothing more than a cheap gimmick. This argument is easy to dismiss. Animals, we are told, don’t have
emotions or feelings. Perhaps we rationalize: Celery also feel pain. These rationales are the wrong approach. Instead we must ask a question philosopher Jeremy Bentham posed almost 200 years ago, “[T]he question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can thy talk? but, Can they suffer?� Indeed they can, as anyone who
has ever seen an animal in pain or led a dog toward the vet’s office can attest. By throwing turkeys for an otherwise worthy cause, we trivialize animal suffering to astoundingly insensitive levels. Shane Gleason Ph.D. student in political science from Cleveland

Salukis break fall with first win of season BRANDON WILLINGHAM Daily Egyptian The Salukis broke a 21-game regular season losing streak that dated back to last season, pouncing on the winless Chicago State University Cougars. The bounce back from the 2010-11 regular season brought the winning ways back to SIU (1-2) as it beat CSU (0-4) 7654 Sunday afternoon at the SIU Arena. The Salukis jumped out to an early 20-point lead at halftime and refused to yield, as the team spread out the offense and had five players with 10 or more points.
