In her presentation “T-Time with Aiden,” Ethington agreed that people have a hard time understanding transgender issues. “It’s not as black and white as it seems,” Ethington said. Transgender is an umbrella term for an individuals’ behavior that is not traditional of their sex, Ethington said. is includes transsexuals, cross-dressers, and intersex people: individuals born with ambiguous genitalia.

FROM THE EASEL Greg Wagoner of Wabash Valley Power Associ- ation spoke to members of the Eastern community about the true extent of “going green” with the Renewable Energy Center. e Eastern Renewable Energy Center, which will be completed soon, is a biomass gasier that will enable Eastern to sustain its own heating and cooling by burning non-treated plant matter. While the project has been in the works for some time, this was a great event for students, faculty and members of the community. When people hears “Renewable Energy Cen- ter,” most do not know how it works. People assume it will be good for the environment and save the university money. Many do not understand the steps in-between. e Symposium gave all members of the East- ern community a chance to nd out how it will work, what it will do and why it will be more cost eective. Wagoner’s speech focused on how the new energy center will be economically ecient with environmentally eective intentions. Gary Reed, director of facilities and planning, discussed the mechanical aspects of the renewable energy center in regards to how biomass gasication works.
