demonstrates the
Hardinge Lathe
by reducing the
diameter of a brass
rod. The machine
shop, located in the
basement of
Pacific Hall, is one
of two shops
operated by the
Technical Science
Administration that
builds equipment.
Machine: Shop works on day-lighting project
Continued from page 1
The machine shop
“Probably the most interesting thing
about this shop is the variety of work
we do ... the way we operate as the
backbone of all the experimentation
that’s going on throughout the science
department,” Boosinger said. Current
projects at the machine shop include
acrylic tubes for sampling mud flats,
laser equipment and cryogenics.
Boosinger described cryogenics as
work with liquid helium, “a superflu
id with a lot of very bizarre proper
ties.” “Some of it is actually top se
cret,” Boosinger said regarding the
shop’s work with cryogenics.
However, a project that will soon
be out in the open is a series of
welded metal frames with glass
panes, which will be hung from
Lawrence Hall’s fourth floor facing
Franklin Boulevard. The panels are
part of a study on day lighting.
“People come in the door with an
idea rather than blueprints, and we
help develop from scratch what it is
they’re after,” Boosinger said.
The machine shop also builds
demonstrations for physics and
chemistry classes.
Boosinger said he began working at
the machine shop while he was an un
dergraduate architecture student.
“When I came in the door, I
didn’t have a lot of background,” he
said. “I just spent a lot of time here
asking questions.”
After he graduated about a year and
a half ago, Boosinger was hired full
time at the shop . The machine shop,
which is currently fully staffed, em
ploys two students, including sopho
more physics major Jeffrey Garman.
“Working with the students is very,
very helpful,” Garman said, explain
ing that many of the graduate stu
dents he works with have taken the
same physics classes in which he’s
currently enrolled.
Garman added that he gets new as
signments from graduate students and
professors every week. Currently, he is
manufacturing parts for lasers.
“You learn a little bit more with
every part you make,” Garman said.

Gender: Kelly says code applies to all Eugeneas
Continued from page 1
“The outcry over it is very much
overblown,” Moore said, adding that
no law exists that prohibits people
from entering a bathroom designated
for members of the opposite sex.
Kelly said many people concerned
with allowing transgender people or
people of different gender orientations
equal access to public bathrooms do
not understand the people the ordi
nance is trying to protect; they are
fearful it will allow men and women
to enter any bathroom they choose at
any time in a predatory fashion.
“The proposed code would not give
a man the right to walk into the
women’s restroom,” Kelly said. “What
it would do is allow every Eugenean to
use a restroom that is consistent with
their gender identity. ”
Moore said the issue of people of
different gender orientations having
equal access to public bathrooms has
become a “red herring,” and it ig
nores the fact that what goes on in a
restroom, be it a public or a private
one, is done in relative privacy from
everyone else.
“This issue has exactly as much ef
fect on each individual as it did when
we were talking about it in the context
of race,” Moore said.
Kelly said the inclusion of public
bathrooms in the anti-discrimination
code is just a basic step in ensuring
that all people are treated equally in
public places.
“The goal is that every law-abiding
Eugenean should be able to have
equal rights in employment, equal
rights in housing and equal rights in
public accommodations, and surely
one of those is the ability to use the
bathroom when you’re at the movies,”
Kelly said.
Opposition to the ordinance is ex
pected, Kelly said, but the HRC is
hopeful that through open communi
ty dialogues they can reach some
sort of agreement.
“I’m hopeful that if we can have a
discussion about treating all Euge
neans equally, we can pass this very
straightforwardly,” Kelly said.
