George Orwell, the widely celebrated mind behind the dystopian novel “1984,” wrote his works in reaction to the stifling extremism of oppressive governments, under which servile societies toiled in the ash choked middle years of the 20th century. A journalist and teacher in his own right, the ideas Orwell left on the conscience of the western world were designed to be heavy, philosophical boulders on the hands of those who would move societies towards conformity, omnipresent government scrutiny, and authoritarian control without respect for history or their opposition.

While they are often heard, some of his warnings have become more of a mantra for the modern era, a mechanical reminder of problems which are taken as a given as the world plows forward into unexamined politics. Even so, his ideas found fertile ground in the hearts of both political parties in America, despite Orwell’s own preference for democratic socialism. One quote of his in particular remains as clear as it was the day he inked it out, etched in stone by his statue at the BBC’s headquarters in London, “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

For Republican students at SIU, this liberty to express

themselves freely is something many feel they don’t have. There are no Republican Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) and there haven’t been any for years, in contrast to an abundance of active left leaning RSOs, including the College Democrats, the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) and several non-partisan presenting groups that Republican students believe to be left-leaning, such as the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

“Well, it’s certainly disheartening because, I mean, it’s kind of ironic, too, because you just go like an hour north, kind of where I’m from, being Ashley area, and it’s, like, it’s the most conservative red area, but

you go south of Du Quoin and it suddenly becomes this bluish kind of story with Carbondale,” said Brandon Kujawa, a freshman student in his first semester. “...It certainly makes it a lot harder for me to voice my opinions on topics whenever discussion gets brought up in my classes. Because, I mean, very, it’s not that I find it that there’s a whole lot of liberal students, but I mean, the most vocal, certainly make it a lot harder for me to even say a more moderate position that I hold on a subject.”

Democratic RSOs are often visited by a wealth of local Democrat thinkers and leaders with valuable knowledge and inspirations to pass on to students. They also provide a

place for students to organize political actions such as protests, or public awareness campaigns, and a space for Democratic thought, where young liberals can bounce ideas off each other.

Recently, the College Democrats received a visit from Chip Markel, the democratic House candidate for the 12th district of Illinois. Early in October, the Young Democrats executed a protest against an unwanted new tow truck facility encroaching on historically Black areas of Carbondale. These are real world political experiences that Republican students are denied, stifling political participation in the Republican community.

The Fifth Judicial District Appellate Court of Illinois

An open position on the Fifth District Appellate court is on the ballot for November 8, but neither candidate gets a recommendation from the bar association or their peers. The Fifth Judicial District Appellate Court of Illinois serves eight judicial circuits and 48 counties in Southern Illinois.

The Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA) reviewed all candidates in a comprehensive evaluation process. This process involves background investigations and in-person interviews of the candidates.

Two candidates are running for the Overstreet Vacancy, so named due to the election of Justice David Overstreet to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Belleville, Illinois, graduated from Cornell University in 1973 and received her juris doctorate from Washington University School of Law - St. Louis in 1977.

Cates practiced law as an assistant state’s attorney for St. Clair County, Illinois before entering private practice as a litigation attorney for 30 years. She is licensed to practice in Illinois, Missouri and Florida, and was the first woman to serve as president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. Cates was first elected to the Fifth District Appellate Court in November of 2012 and is now running for her second term.

Mission Statement

The Daily Egyptian, the student-run news organization of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is committed to being a trusted source of news, information, commentary and public discourse, while helping readers understand the issues affecting their lives.

Publishing Information

The Daily Egyptian is published by the students of Southern Illinois University Carbondale and functions as a laboratory for the School of Journalism in exchange for the room and utilities in the Communications Building. The Daily Egyptian is a non-profit organization that survives primarily off of its advertising revenue. Offices are in the Communications Building, room 1259, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Carbondale, Ill., 62901.

Brian Roberts, a Democrat candidate, is a practicing attorney in Carbondale, Illinois. According to the firm’s website, the Roberts Law Firm specializes in “criminal defense, DUI, traffic, divorce, family law, personal injury, and automobile accidents.” Opened in 2001, the firm represents clients throughout Southern Illinois, especially Alexander, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Perry, Pope, Pulaski, Randolph, Saline, Union, Washington and Williamson counties.

Mike McHaney, a Republican candidate, is an Illinois Circuit Judge. According to his campaign website, McHaney is running under the slogan “The First Judge to rule against Governor J.B. Pritzker’s unconstitutional mandates.” Further, McHaney is a “conservative Constitutionalist who will never cave to the woke mob and is not afraid to rule from the bench,” the website said.

When reviewing candidates seeking to fill a vacancy, the ISBA will award a rating of “‘Highly Recommended,’ ‘Recommended,’ or ‘Not Recommended’” depending on the committee’s opinions and findings. Both Roberts and McHaney received a “Not Recommended” rating by the ISBA.

For retention elections, the ISBA simply gives a yes or no recommendation. Cates received a “yes.” As part of her review, Cates gave a written submission to the committee and presented herself for an interview. The committee also interviewed judges, court personnel and lawyers who worked with and against her in practice, as well as lawyers who practiced in front of her. Cates was evaluated in areas that include litigation experience, legal knowledge and ability, integrity, character and judicial temperament.

In an advisory poll conducted by the ISBA, state bar association members were able to express their opinions on all three candidates. State attorneys indicated their thoughts on candidates in categories such as integrity, impartiality, legal ability, temperament, court management and their ability to meet the requirements of office.

Cates received a 69.96% approval rating in “Meets Requirements of the Office” and a 92.65% rating in

the category of “Legal Ability” from the 279 attorneys who submitted her evaluation form. Overall, the poll recommended her for retention.

Roberts received a 51.56% approval rating in “Meets Requirements of the Office” and a 66.67% rating in the category of “Legal Ability” from the 138 attorneys who submitted his evaluation form. Roberts received a “Not Recommended” rating in this Judicial Advisory Poll.

McHaney received a 44.44% approval rating in “Meets Requirements of the Office” and a 68.37% rating in the category of “Legal Ability” from the 210 attorneys who submitted his evaluation form. McHaney also received a “Not Recommended” rating.

In justification for Roberts’ “Not Recommended” rating, the ISBA noted that Roberts was offered the opportunity to participate in the committee’s investigation of him. However, Roberts was “untimely” in his submission of his candidacy materials, preventing the committee from being able to complete its investigation. No comments were given for why McHaney was given the rating “Not Recommended.”

SIU Alumni is new director for SNL

| @JaMilahlewiS

SIU Alumnus Tim Wilkime is a new segment director for Saturday Night Live.

Wilkime graduated from SIU in 2009 with a degree in radio and television.

“At the time a lot of my friends were doing radio/television at SIU and it just seemed like the thing that spoke more to what I was trying to do,” Wilkime said. “I know they were teaching some editing courses and things that were like that and interested me.”

He was very involved in alt.news 26:46, an RSO focused on making mini-documentaries, fake commercials, short films and sketches.

“I think that’s what kind of made me realize that I really, really wanted to direct comedy going forward in some capacity,” Wilkime said.

He wasn’t involved in anything else since alt. news took up most of his time.

“alt.news was kind of my whole life at SIU in, like, the best way possible,” Wilkime said. “I have, like so many friends that I, you know, that I met through that show that I’m still friends with. I met my wife through alt.news and so when I was doing that, there was really no time for anything else.”

While at SIU, something that jump started his sketch group at the time and got him connections was a parody of the 2008 Olympics Micheal Phelps win.

“Me and my sketch partner thought it’d be funny to, like, basically take real footage from the Olympics and intercut it with the guy that lost by .01 seconds,” Wilkime said. “So we went to the Rec Center and we just had a camera and we, just, my partner Scott got in the pool and we basically shot like the other side of like, the loser of that event.”

Wilkime said back in 2008 the video went viral, getting millions of views, and was his first big project while he was still a senior.

After graduating, Wilkime moved to Los Angeles and was fortunate enough to start work immediately.

“I was directing me some things, you know, early on, but mainly I was, like, editing and doing motion graphics, or just, like, random jobs,” Wilkime said. “It was a lot of editing. I did a lot of editing and motion graphic jobs.”

Wilkime said he also still made personal sketches with his then-sketch comedy partner and was able to find more work through that.

“[It] kind of spun off into doing some directing work for a brand, you know, for just like random brands at the time,” Wilkime said. “That’s spun off into. . . directing for College Humor and, you know, kind of like slowly went up from there.”

College Humor is a comedy company from Los Angeles that produces comedy sketches on YouTube. One of the videos Wilkime directed for them was “If Google was a guy,” which went viral, having 35 million views.

“That was, like, a really popular video that I feel, like, kind of was at the beginning of my time in College Humor,” Wilkime said. “I think people. . . kind of trusted me with doing more things because of the success of that video.”

Wilkime said directing is a job that can have many peaks in valleys in a career.

“[There are], these moments where like, you’re busy working and you’re, kind of, you feel like you’re on the right track,” Wilkime said. “Then. . . you can go like months without getting, like, a directing job and you kind of feel like you’re doing something wrong or, it’s not working out.”

Between being busy with big projects, he could go months that he’d have to fill with editing motion graphics and other jobs he could get during those times, Wilkime said. Much of working in television is to persist through the hard times.

“Just continuing to, like, make your own things outside of the things you’re getting paid for, because that’s ultimately how you know what people get excited for you for is the things that you’re putting out into the world,” Wilkime said. “Whether it’s

short films, or, you know, spec commercials, you might make on the side or just, you know, scripts that you might be writing and that’s kind of how I feel like I’ve continued to move upwards in my career.”

Wilkime said making sure to do things on the side over the years is something that helps people stay connected with his work, want to work with him and recommend him in the future.

“A director I’d met 10 years ago. . . we were both College Humor directors. He was directing for Saturday Night Live [for] the last five seasons and when he left he recommended me to kind of fill in, to replace him,” Wilkime said. “The reason I ended up doing The Tonight Show last year was because of a writer I had worked with on The Late Late Show, years before that.”

Having good work relationships like these help a director not beat themselves up too much when they’re not working as much and still pursuing passion projects, Wilkime said.

“I was fortunate that when I came out to L.A. there was a pretty big alumni network, just people within alt.news,” Wilkime said. “I was able to kind of get some work just from connections of people in alt.news like years, years older than me, like folks I didn’t even go to college with but had done alt. news.”

Wilkime’s connections helped him get to other places too, like working with Funny or Die, Above Average and Ashton Kutcher’s production company Katalyst Media, he said.

He’s made various short films including “Staycation,” about a couple having their honeymoon at home and “Milton,” about a man in the hospital with his family visiting him.

“That was kind of a, I guess, a film festival success, so that one went to South by Southwest and won the Vimeo staff pick award,” Wilkime said. “It went to Aspenshorts Fest and it won an audience award there.”

Some big names Wilkime has been able to work with include actors Will Smith, Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Miles Teller, Will Arnet and singer Megan Thee Stallion on SNL, and Jimmy Fallon and James Corden on their shows.

Something Wilkime has learned being a director and getting better at preparing for his work and projects in a way that makes him feel more passionate about the work he’s doing.

“I just feel more confident going into every project, every shoot day,” Wilkime said. “It is kind of taking advantage of tools that have always kind of been accessible, but just things that I’ve kind of,

like, learned to implement into my workflow over the years.”

Wilkime said he recommends doing as many things outside of class work as you can to help better find your style.

“In my case, a lot of things I made at SIU is kind of the reason I was able to kind of jump start my

career in L.A.,” Wilkime said. “You can really use your time in school to, you know, hopefully, start to prepare yourself for outside of school.”

“We are the first college Republican RSO, to my knowledge, in the past decade. I could be wrong on that [...] but, at least since COVID, there hasn’t been one,” said Cameron Carlile, a Republican student applying to create a new College Republicans RSO.

In Carlile’s opinion, the majority of college campuses lean liberal partially due to the influence of the state on education decision makers as well as that of local school board members. He says Republicans have neglected school committees both in Congress and in state assemblies, causing Democrats to have increased influence over schools around the country.

In the long term, he believes, this has placed left leaning people in the Board of Education and in local school boards across the country, making it difficult for Republican lawmakers to make significant changes when they have control of the presidency. This is especially true in Illinois, a state with a Democratic supermajority, he said.

“And that the state usually backs something up, it’s very rare that the federal government, the Department of Education, unless it’s a serious violation, is going to take another look into that,” Carlile said. “And so I think a lot of the changes and things that have been made over the past half century are very subtle, and they’re on a local level. So they’re more in tune to affect us. As they go out, the secretary of education doesn’t have time to have a meeting with every single school board member in America.”

In addition to these problems, some political groups on campus take credit for scaring previous conservative RSOs off of campus entirely. YDSA member Victor Ludwig says that his group previously vandalized posters of a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) group that was present on campus around the start of COVID-19. Ludwig says this is around the time a local socialist and anarchist group publicly “denounced a Neo-Nazi” on campus.

“That group [TPUSA] took signals that they weren’t welcome,” Ludwig said. “They went underground and, as the Trump presidency progressed, TPUSA groups nationally lost members as a result of the withering of Republican establishment supremacy.”

Though YDSA is likely further left than the general population of liberals at SIU, including the College Democrats, there is a clear philosophical difference between them and the conservative population at the school.

“Something we can all agree on is that everyone needs a voice, and college campuses haven’t been allowing that voice to conservative students,” Carlile said. “And so that’s what I hope to accomplish over my four years here is to get a conversation going. I don’t seek to enact any great big change. I don’t want to start a social movement. I just want people to be willing to come to SIU and say, hey, you know, I’m a conservative.”

The Daily Egyptian surveyed students on D2L and via invitation to political RSOs, and

respondents said officially sanctioned political debate was unheard of on campus.

As Kujawa phrased it, “I have not seen or really heard of any debates going on, but again, I just think that’s because it kind of just feels like anyone that opposes center left or even further left ideology that’s going on in campus at the current momentit’s just not worth it because you’ll just get swarmed by all these people that are against you, that it’s just kind of pissing in the wind, for lack of better terms.”

In-classroom debate occasionally came up in survey results, but the majority of conservative students, and several liberal students, weren’t comfortable with the idea of discussing their politics on campus at all. 42% of students were some degree of uncomfortable expressing their politics on campus, with roughly 31% saying they were at least moderately uncomfortable.

One anonymous liberal respondent said, “I’m a little left, but people often assume I’m very left, so it always makes it difficult to argue for a more moderate position when people believe I agree with them—occasionally they say things I personally find insulting about my views, and I don’t feel like I can tell them without them thinking less of me.”

Conservative respondents, even those that considered themselves far right, often kept their views to themselves for fear of being yelled at.

One respondent said, “If you are a Republican these days you are seen as some sort of enemy to anyone who disagrees with you. You get called everything from a racist to a homophobe. It truly is not worth the argument and outrage to voice that you are a Republican.”

Another respondent identifying as an Independent said, “People seem quick to categorize/box, stereotype, and judge. It feels like a ‘high risk, no reward’ type of situation. Plus, things are so much more complicated than what many seem willing to deal with or admit, so that discussion seems fruitless.”

In short, nearly half of students, the majority of which are conservative, said the campus environment isn’t conducive to the free exchange of ideas and respectful debate.

John Shaw, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy institute, was among the first to suggest that the current political atmosphere was a more recent addition to American politics.

“You know, when I was in college, probably there were more Democrats than Republicans. But we used to have these passionate debates in the dorm room. And the thing that you’re talking about was, you know, if you’re a Republican, you’re for low taxes and cutting the budget and less government regulation. If you’re a Democrat, it was more for more spending for social programs, less spending on defense. So those were policy issues where you could legitimately disagree. I think it’s impossible to overstate the effect of Donald Trump, the Trump presidency.”

Many Democrats believe Trump and those who continue to support him are guilty of attempting to overthrow democracy completely, which Shaw says can add a completely different dynamic to political conversation and freedom of speech debates.

“I think it will be easier when Trump passes from the scene,” Shaw said. “But I think some of the forces that he touched, and I won’t even say unleashed, the forces he touched are still here, and we become very polarized, very angry. I’ve talked to political experts who think politics have become too important to the United States and that it’s become too central to people’s identity. You know, If I’m a Democrat, I care about democracy, respect and so forth. And then Democrats see Republicans supporting the overthrow of the government, and denying the results of an election.”

While there are certainly Trump supporters on campus, not all students are stuck in the dichotomy that Shaw outlines.

When asked what the most important political principle is, Carlile said, “After an election, no matter who wins, as voters and as candidates and party leaders and whatnot, we need to come together. And maybe most people don’t feel like ardently supporting a particular candidate. But that’s the person that the majority of, you know, shows, at least being respectful of the results of elections, is my number one thing.”

In fact, Carlile agreed Trump was primarily characterized by his divisiveness.

This much many of the more moderate political groups on campus have in common, and organized debate on campus, which is strongly desired by the nascent College Republicans, would seem like a possibility if it weren’t for the more fundamental issues of respect and identity that have created a gulf between the two parties.

“When processing new ideas and information, I feel like the impulsivity and erratic-ness of younger people, whether they’re conservative or liberal, they’re gonna just grab those new ideas and kind of run with it and see what happens,” Carlile said. “Whereas I think like the older, traditionally more conservative, but liberal or conservative, the

traditionally older, politically minded people are going to take new ideas and whatnot, and they’re going to process them, they’re going to run those ideas through their years of experience, and kind of see how things should and would play out.”

Carlile says liberals often have things they would like to accomplish, finding reasons to back themselves up after deciding what they’re going to do. Conservatives have static beliefs, which they march forward with dependably. He believes liberals find social disparities to justify their political goals. Most conservatives are simpler minded people, which work with their hands, he said. They are less likely to attend college, relying on practical skill sets to get what they need from day to day, Carlile noted.

“Those people are more focused on just the day to day of working a job, getting home, being with their families,” Carlile said. “They’re not gonna be out knocking on doors. 80% of Wayne county voted for President Trump, I think it was in 2020. Now, in Wayne county, relatively close to where I’m from, some of the people I know, they work in coal mines, they work in factories…when they get out of their 12-hour coal mine shift, knocking on doors to get people to vote some kind of way is the last thing on their minds.”

Essentially, liberals change the system, and conservatives produce from what they are given, according to Carlile. He said this leads to liberal dominated public systems and institutions.

“I think in general, and you can find examples of this throughout history, people are usually scared to speak out in varying degrees, to, or against, people who have more power than them and I think how it came to be is simple. Democrats are more organized than Republicans. And I can’t dress it up.“

Carbondale Dog Park brings its first ever Howl-O-Ween to Carbondale

Janiyah Gatson | @DEJaniyah

The Carbondale Dog Park hosted its very first Howl-OWeen on October 29 at Murdale Shopping Center. People were able to participate in various activities from taking photos with their dogs to having their dogs make artwork.

Nancy Cottom, the President of Carbondale Dog Park, said this was the first time the Dog Park has put on this event, and its main goal was to make sure people enjoyed themselves.

Dogs showed up in various colorful costumes like hot dogs, superheroes and witches.

“That’s always a lot of fun to see dogs dressed up and that kind of thing. [...] It’s always good for the merchants and Murdale to have more exposure and more traffic,” she said.

This event brought not only dog lovers but other people in the Carbondale community as well, Cottom said.

Activities included a guess the number of milk bones in the jar and a Paw Caso Paw painting area.

“If you have a dog create, we’re going to walk through some paint and then walk across a piece of paper and it will look like a Picaso so we help by calling Paw Caso,” she said.

Bouncy castles, rock climbing walls and hayrides were also present for guests of all ages to enjoy.

Barb Allen, a volunteer for the Carbondale Dog Park and a judge for the costume contest, said having events such as Howl-O-Ween is a great way to get people involved.

“Well, everybody’s got a smile on their face. The kids are having

a blast. The dogs are getting along. It’s a beautiful day and fall is here. Thank goodness, and just the camaraderie of the community,” Allen said.

Before the contest, a short parade was put on with dogs who signed up for the costume contest.

Tina Carpenter, the CEO of the Boys and Girls Club, said her organization is a part of Carbondale Safe Halloween, which hosts many family friendly activities all throughout the Halloween season.

She said, in the past, Halloween in Carbondale was not as focused on other people outside of the Southern Illinois University (SIU) community.

“I think it’s absolutely wonderful. I remember moving here back in the late 80s and how Halloween really was more about the college students,” Carpenter said. “Whereas Safe Halloween and all the events this weekend was about bringing people together and community family and just having fun.”

The costume contest had different categories; they were scariest, cutest, best duo and funniest.

Gustav, a dachshund who was dressed as a hot dog, won the funniest category. For best duo costume, the winners were Amanda Ashby and her dog Captain Hook; they were dressed as Peter Pan and Captain Hook. The scariest costume winners were pugs Wilbur and Ringo as Chewbarka and R2Pee2. The cutest category winner was a Chihuahua, Eleanor, dressed up as a witch.

IT came to the museum rocks Faner

Bre GallaGher BGallaGher@dailyeGyptian com

Bands, costumes, fortune tellers and great energy filled the Faner rooftop on Oct. 21 at the “IT came to the museum” concert. It was a few hours of music, meeting people, getting tarot readings and showing off creative costumes, a start to yet another Carbondale Unofficial halloween celebration.

This was a nice spot for students to ease into Unofficial, somewhere for them to go and enjoy music and meet new people without necessarily needing to know anyone or having to go to a bar or basement.

The performers were erupting with energy throughout the night. There were times when their feet were barely even touching the ground, as when local artist Bulkington picked up Green Fuzz lead singer Evan Neuman during their performance.

They had covers from some horrorcore favorites like the Cramps and Black Sabbath as well as some new original works from Bulkington. Some of the other bands included The Hex Girls and Braggadocious vole.

Favorite band of the night, Green Fuzz, was a Frankenstein accumulation of a few different bands around Carbondale some of the most noticeable being Tr!cks, Hans Predator and Pet Mosquito. By allowing artists an opportunity to collaborate with friends and just have some fun, it gives the audience a unique experience and it was not unnoticed.

This event is not the first of its kind, showing the type of support the school has for its creative students and community members alike, bringing more of a togetherness for its artistic minds.

“It used to be that bands were constantly playing and now it seems that is starting to come back,” said performer Greg Edwards. “Things like this really show support from the school for the community and artists in Carbondale.”

“I think that I’ll just be a witch… again,” I rattled off for the millionth time this year, while having a conversation with a friend. Being asked what I am going to be for Halloween is a question that makes me feel weird. I don’t know why, but it makes me feel like I am supposed to get all dolled up and be something overly special.

You have to understand, being surrounded by creative people who can sew and construct wearable art, Halloween is a serious holiday, and their costumes must be able to be talked about for the years to come. For some reason, people always expect me to go all out every Halloween, when in reality, that’s just not me. Yes, one could describe me as extra, but in that same breath, do not discredit my laziness.

There are plenty of folks who wait all year to start constructing their next Halloween costume, ordering things for it months in advance and having it all ready for their Instagrams by the time the long awaited day has arrived. I respect it immensely, as that takes loads of time and effort that many folks aren’t willing to put into even their most special days. I have spent many hours behind a sewing machine and am a skilled professional with a hot glue gun. I know what pain that art takes from you, and it is intense sometimes.

Every year, I sit back and watch as madness ensues while my friends cart from Halloween shop to Halloween shop trying to find the perfect costume for their endeavors. I giggle as they toss around characters and celebrities that they might be able to make a hodge podge look to resemble, and I always give advice for a more accurate look. Although I might be a bit boring on this holiday, I do enjoy the thrill of helping other people.

While standing in the aisle of Spirit Halloween at 8:30 p.m. on a Thursday night with my sister and our dear friend, I had this realization. As my sister held up two black corsets and said “Which one is more Cher,” I couldn’t help but laugh at the entire facility I was standing in. I advised her to pick the one with laces up the front and moved on through the store alone for a stroll, trying not to set off any of those ghastly animatronics and taking in the reality of everything.

Shuffling down the temporary cardboard setups of costumes, I really soaked up everything. My first immediate thought was about how wasteful Halloween as a holiday is and how these costumes presented to us in clear plastic bags are a direct derivative of fast fashion. What is a better example of wastefulness in fashion than buying an outfit to wear for one night only? Of course, these

costumes and accessories are not made of the finest materials, and you wouldn’t expect them to be. You also would not expect them to really put in any great detail or be sold at any higher of a price, as they are already priced pretty high for what they are made of.

My thoughts about the pollution that Halloween brings to the world was shut up as I focused on what the costumes themselves were. The mens costumes were rather normal and what you expect men to be on Halloween like a gorilla or a big taco; it is weird. For the women, the options were so strange. It could either be a couple’s costume with a man or be an extremely sexualized version of some occupation or some television character.

I blinked a couple times and took a breath as I stared at the sexy nun costume that was making eye contact with me from its hanger. My head filled with embarrassment as I remembered something: I was a sexy nun once for halloween. Ironically, I have been a nun twice for Halloween. Once was in my late teens with a little bit more va va voom and the other in my very early teens with my best friend, where we carried around a cardboard cutout of Pope Francis the entire night. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have done that, as it is sexualizing a group of women who are not asking to be sexualized.

Something that irks me about Halloween is that it is extremely sexualized for no reason. I understand that it is the one night a year that many people from many different communities are able to express themselves openly without too much criticism, but they are not the issue. The majority of them are learning about themselves and testing the waters of something new. My issue is with the people who wear lingerie or a party store equivalent, devil horns, and do claw fingers in every picture for the rest of the night.

I have zero tolerance for taking a character who was written and designed with

the thought of children in mind and then deciding to attach the word sexy to it. The amount of people who will take a mini skirt and high top socks and say that they are *add any Disney character here*, and for many reasons, that doesn’t sit well with me.

Along the lines of the history of Halloween as a whole, someone with a little bit of gumption said what I can only imagine as “Hey.. let’s make it sexy,” and the rest is history. Now everytime I step foot into a costume party, there are at least two whale tails and definitely a dozen ornate bralettes in perfect view, all usually worn with some sort of nurse outfit or rabbit ears. It is quite strange. Why do

femme-presenting people always take this night to be a little more risque in their fashion choices, and is it really that they want to, or is it just almost an expectation now?

It could be 32 degrees outside on Halloween night, and I know for a fact that if I went up to Stix, I would definitely see a girl wearing a black mini dress and cat ears or something of the sort, with not a coat in sight. It doesn’t matter how far these babes are walking or what the temperature is, fishnets and heels do not go with a Northface jacket.

I left the halloween store a bit beside myself and a little bit quiet. I was deep in thought about the strange world that I had just visited in the old Sears. I was overwhelmed with the racing thoughts of everything I had just taken in, contemplating if I should get all crazy dressed up again, or even dip my foot into the thought of a sensual catsuit or something, but I was easily comforted when I remembered that I have a black sweater and an old witch hat that I can pair with some jeans and pass out candy to kids and watch old scary movies in between door knocks.

“Black Adam” is a regressive superhero misfire

|@letterboxd com/Zadenator

In the last decade, Dwayne Johnson has quickly become one of the most bankable actors in Hollywood. Whether it be in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, the “Jumanji” films or star vehicles such as the recent Netflix original “Red Notice,” Johnson nearly guarantees a film a certain level of success in the current blockbuster landscape.

Johnson’s tendency to play very similar leading characters in his recent films has left some audiences bored with his current position. Each character he plays always seems to be specifically written for him, where he is essentially playing himself. “Black Adam” is no different and may be one of his least interesting roles to date.

“Black Adam” is a film that has been in development for nearly 15 years, with talks of Johnson’s involvement dating all the way back to 2007. The film is a part of the DC cinematic universe, which, in the last few years, has been a mess to say the least.

After such a long period of fans awaiting the film’s release, the expectations were at an all time high. The film finally got to theaters on October 21.

The most obvious thing about “Black Adam” is that it has been through many different hands and mutations, which have resulted in an extremely messy superhero film. It feels like something that would have been released a decade ago and not in a good way.

The story is disjointed and held together with gum and duct tape. The characters are weak and underdeveloped, and the core thesis of the film, in that Black Adam is an “anti-hero,” is laughably executed.

The largest misstep the film takes is that it serves as a vanity project for Johnson before all else. It is always in service of making Johnson look as good and be as likable as possible. This results in the character of Black Adam feeling hollow, never feeling like his own character outside of Johnson.

The focus on Johnson ends up negatively affecting the supporting characters as well. Black Adam’s main character trait is that he kills people, while other superheroes do not. But he only ever kills faceless generic bad guys that are never portrayed as human or even remotely complex. The film is constantly reminding the audience how these people are bad and that it’s okay, or sometimes even funny, that they’re being killed.

The “Justice Society,” the team of superheroes, are the cut and dry good guys of the movie. These heroes all make up the supporting cast, mostly made up of lesser-known heroes from DC comics. Their whole purpose in the film is to stop Black Adam from killing and to neutralize him.

The plot only gets sloppier and more convoluted as it continues, attempting to pit Black Adam and the Justice Society against each other, while simultaneously making them team up against a bigger bad.

I never once bought this anti-hero character trait because the film never dared to make Johnson seem bad or unlikable; he simply starts as the strongest coolest guy ever and stays there. The film

attempts to fabricate a character arc for him, by shoving him into a corner for 15 minutes, then simply reviving him back to save the day once again.

It’s clear that Johnson’s main intent with the film was to portray himself as the most powerful and cool hero in the film, and everything else was secondary. All the other heroes are so underwritten that almost every piece of dialogue from them feels like something thought of on the spot and scribbled down in a first draft.

This writing is possibly at its worst when the hero “Atom Smasher” is present, played by Noah Centineo in one of the most excruciating performances of the year. The character is an attempt at comic relief but only serves to continuously bring the film to a grinding halt and spout nonsensical jokes that fall completely flat.

The rest of the supporting cast is equally as boring, with characters like “Hawkman” and “Dr. Fate,” a duo whose exposition is simply that they have known each other for a “long time.” They are all mostly composed of their various quips and quirks rather than any real storytelling.

This is worsened by the fact that most of the film’s two-hour runtime is largely populated by what feels like a mashup of disconnected fight scene highlights, rather than anything motivated by the plot.

These fight sequences are ugly and boring. With the film’s editing putting the fights in and out of slow motion every few seconds, to the point of being genuinely infuriating. The action choreography is sloppy as well, usually being hardly visible due to the muddy CGI that populates nearly every frame of the film. The film’s color palette is equally disgusting, simply opting for an aesthetic that basically just invokes dirt.

For all these reasons and more “Black Adam” is easily one of the worst films of the year and suffers from a disjointed production that seems to have been completely overtaken by its leading man. While it seems to have pleased some

diehard fans, it’s a superhero film of a bygone era and has no place in the already overstuffed slate of far superior comic book content.

Remembering radio alum Bill Wilkerson as daughter leads Hall of Fame push

Game” in 1990 between the Missouri Tigers and Colorado Buffaloes, which Bill Wilkerson called on behalf of the Tigers.

“At the mic was a hall of fame-worthy broadcaster,” Cusumano said to introduce the segment. “He’s been gone now for five years, but should get the recognition for a wonderful career.”

The segment also featured an old interview with Bill Wilkerson, where he described getting the Cardinals play-by-play job from Jack Buck. Buck had received an offer to leave KMOX, but was not allowed to until a suitable replacement for his role was found.

As the story goes, Buck left in the middle of a game, forcing Wilkerson to handle play-by-play duties for a quarter in his absence. He did so again the next week, this time for an entire half. When KMOX general manager Robert Hyland Jr. didn’t call and complain, Buck told Wilkerson the job was his.

It was an accomplishment in and of itself for Bill Wilkerson to get the job. Having completed his bachelor degree’s in journalism at Southern Illinois in the spring of 1968, his graduation was sandwiched between the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

“This is not a normal dream for someone to have, of color, at that stage in that age,” Kristen Wilkerson said. “And for him to pursue it, get it just a year later at 24 and accomplish what he accomplished, I’m very proud of him. I don’t know exactly how he did that, and I know that he had to deal with a lot that there’s no way that I could even comprehend, especially growing up in the South.”

father apart, she agreed.

“It’s overwhelming to me now, so especially with the conversations that we had and the jokes that we told and the way that we were, I don’t think I would have been able to,” she said. “Obviously I’ve always had a reverence for him, but it would have been heightened. I like the way that he did it.”

Part of what defined their relationship was his approachability. The same could be said for many of his former coworkers who are now joining the campaign to induct Bill Wilkerson into the National Radio Hall of Fame.

“That’s what meant more to him; being personable, being able to talk to people, being able to communicate, being able to be that person,” Kristen Wilkerson said. “You have to be the person that is fun and personable for me to be able to be like ‘look, I have a serious situation,’ and I knew that I could come to him on any level. But that opened it up for me.”

Kristen Wilkerson plans to partake in a tribute with Wiese on Nov. 2, the anniversary of Bill Wilkerson’s death. Costas’s tribute will also come in November. Southern Illinois University is also in the planning stages of commemorating the legacy of the Saluki alum.

All of this support could be traced back to Kristen Wilkerson’s phone updating and wiping her messages, sending her on a journey to find her dad’s voice again. Ultimately, she found his legacy, and wants it to be recognized and remembered by as many people as possible.

Kristen Wilkerson described the last voicemail she received from her dad as “a mundane request.” But it being the final message she got from him, she cherished it. It started with his voice, saying “Hi Kristen, this is dad,” and ended with “Bye, I love you.”

Thanks to a recent phone update, that voicemail was gone, along with all of the messages between Kristen and Bill Wilkerson. But she knew that her father’s voice had been broadcast for more than three decades on the radio. That’s when she decided to start digging, to find his voice again. She didn’t have to search long.

“Once I lost that updating my phone, that’s why I kinda went into, ‘oh my God, I need to find him. I can listen to him.’ And that’s where all this came,” she said.

Bill Wilkerson spent 27 years at KMOX, and 10 more at KTRS, both in St. Louis. During this time, he became the first Black play-by-play announcer of an NFL team as the voice of the St. Louis football Cardinals. He also provided commentary for other St. Louis sports such as the NHL’s Blues, the ABA’s Spirits and the Missouri Tigers college football team.

“I just kept hearing and seeing that he was the first, and I’m like, this isn’t nothing,” Kristen Wilkerson said. “Why isn’t more made of this, or known? Why isn’t this a thing?”

While Kristen Wilkerson knew her dad worked at the radio, she wasn’t aware of his accomplishments until recently.

“If he was the first to do that, then I’m completely blown away,” she said. “Because it’s not like he walked into the house every day, you know, ‘guess what daddy did?’ All of this stuff, he kinda kept to himself, so I’m researching him after the fact and learning about what type of person he was and what type of things he did.”

Nov. 2 marks the fifth anniversary of Bill Wilkerson’s passing in 2017. In remembrance, his youngest daughter wants to share his legacy to anyone who will hear it, even if he wouldn’t do so himself.

“He wasn’t braggadocious, but me learning about him, I definitely want more people to know what he did,” she said.

Part of that campaign includes lobbying to get Bill Wilkerson into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Kristen Wilkerson has recruited several notable people who worked with her father over the years, including Bob Costas, Wendy Wiese and Frank Cusumano.

“I don’t want him to be forgotten,” Kristen Wilkerson said. “With what I didn’t know, I feel that I was inept as his daughter... Now that I know, I want other people to know. I won’t be here, and he won’t either; he isn’t. But he will continue to live on.”

Cusumano voiced his support for Bill Wilkerson during a segment for KSDK Channel 5 in St. Louis on Oct. 17. He recalled the infamous “Fifth Down

Bill Wilkerson’s trailblazing set the stage for another black announcer years later. Paul Olden, the public address announcer for the New York Yankees since 2009, credited him as his inspiration in an online guest book.

“When I decided - at age 15 - to be a play by play sportscaster, I learned about Bill and used that knowledge as a role model for my efforts as a black teenager,” Olden wrote.

For many in the St. Louis area, Bill Wilkerson was the voice of their favorite sports teams, or their morning drives to work. To others, he was an inspirational figure. To his youngest daughter, he was just dad.

“To see something like that, where somebody listened to my dad and he was that influential to them, just his voice,” Kristen Wilkerson said. “Just the fact that he was able to do that. Then, ‘okay, that’s what I want to do, and because of him I’m gonna do that.’ I can’t explain what that is. I don’t know what type of feeling that gives me. I’m just shocked by it.”

Since Bill Wilkerson kept a humble outlook on his career, his daughter wasn’t familiar with his work until recently. When asked whether she preferred it that way, keeping the two personas of Bill Wilkerson the pioneer vs. Bill Wilkerson the

“The fact that they’re like ‘I believe in that, and I’m gonna get behind you.’ It makes me very grateful,” she said. “It lets me know that I’m doing the correct thing. I’m not gonna stop until I get him there or I’ve exhausted everything that I can, because I owe him that as a daughter.”

SIU Women’s basketball season preview

Joei Younker JYounker@dailYegYptian com

After being crowned the Missouri Valley Conference regular season champions in their 2021-22 season, the Southern Illinois women’s basketball team is aiming to do it again in its upcoming season.

“We know that we can get to that point, and all of our returning girls want to get back to where we were last season, or better, so I think that that sets a high expectation for us,” team captain Adrianna Katcher said.

Under new head coach Kelly Bond-White, the Salukis have a good outlook and are ready to take last season’s success and continue to build on their program. This preseason, Bond has been focused on her team being on the same page every time they step onto the court.

“We look back and acknowledge what was done last year, but in terms of our expectations, we chart the journey but right now. We’re not

talking about the destination, ” she said.

Katcher said this preseason has been different because the team is going through a lot of growing pains that it didn’t have to deal with last season with a new coach and loads of new players joining the team.

“I think we’re all different and don’t know each other that well and how each other plays. We’re working on learning that about each other and I think that will help us grow as a team,” she said.

Key players the team lost after last season, like Makenzie Silvey and Abby Brockmeyer, are going to be big shoes for the Salukis to fill this season. Silvey earned the title of Southern Illinois’ all time leading scorer in the 202122 season, and Brockmeyer won MVC player of the year.

Brockmeyer and Silvey accounted for over 51% of the Salukis to talk scoring last season, which presents a tall task for the 2022-23 team in terms of replicating that type of performance.

Bond and junior transfer Promise Taylor agreed the spots Silvey and Brockmeyer held are not going to be able to be filled by a single person.

“It’s going to be collective, Coach Bond is big on everyone doing their jobs. I think that we are all going to have to know our roles and do our jobs and we should be fine,” Taylor said.

With not only a new head coach, but a combined seven transfers and freshmen this season, the new Salukis have a lot on their plates learning the dynamics of their new team and creating a good team chemistry.

“We’ve been doing a lot of team bonding exercises. We went and saw a movie as a team, we have team dinners, we’ve done locker room get togethers, like, movie nights. By the time season gets here our chemistry is going to be great,” Taylor said.

These are just some of the things Bond is putting into place to help create a successful program for Southern Illinois Women’s Basketball.

Certain players are another key factor, like Katcher. As a junior forward, she was already voted captain by the team this upcoming season. Younger players like Katcher will have to

have a bright look out on the 2022-23 season after an amazing preseason with their new head coach. With a lot on their plate in terms of replacing some of their past leaders, the team is still confident in their abilities for the upcoming

The team will start its season with an exhibition game on Saturday Nov. 5 against McKendree University. The Salukis will take on the Bearcats at home at 2
