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. evasylwester@ dailyemerald. com 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. meghanncimiff@dailyemerald. com
