SIU quidditch team members line up their goal posts Monday before a scrimmage at the practice fields. The team meets Mondays and Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. Will Walker, a junior from Elk Grove Village studying mechanical engineering, said he would rate himself a five on a scale of one to 10 when it comes to being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about it last year when I saw it written on the sidewalk,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to run around on a broom and hit people.â&#x20AC;?

SIU received a written threat against the university early Wednesday morning.

The SIU Department of Public Safety sent a text via the SIUC alert system at 9:36 a.m. Wednesday morning that stated a written threat was made to the university. The text also stated the threat is not considered credible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SIU administrators and the Department of Public Safety are taking this threat very seriously,â&#x20AC;? Chancellor Rita Cheng said in the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safety of students, faculty and staff are the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one priority. Our campus security team is working with the FBI and will take all precautions necessary to address any safety concerns.â&#x20AC;?

Cheng also addressed the threatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the threatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credibility is in doubt, it is very important to closely monitor the situation,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage everyone to maintain their normal schedules and daily assignments at this time.â&#x20AC;?

Rod Sievers, university spokesman, said the university received the written threat in the mail around midnight Wednesday.

Sievers said the FBI has been involved with the threat because the U.S. Postal Service is a government organization.

In her Sept. 5 State of the University Address, Chancellor Rita Cheng said SIU should continue to tell the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story and learn more about

what goes into the decision-making process for prospective students.

To help with these efforts, SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Trustees decided to hire the Chicago-based marketing company Lipman Hearne in fall 2010. Rod Sievers, university spokesman, said Lipman Hearne works alongside SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal marketing department to make marketing decisions.

SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract with Lipman Hearne

was renewed in July for $2 million. In her address, Cheng said it is standard for schools to spend this much on marketing.

However, some regional school representatives disagreed.

Western Illinois University in Macomb recently approved a $300,000 marketing budget for 2013, said Darcie Shinberger, the assistant vice president of advancement and

public services at WIU. Previously, WIU spent $100,000 on marketing annually, but the university decided to increase the budget for the upcoming year. WIU has around 13,000 students enrolled this semester compared to SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our marketing budget is a drop in the bucket compared to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall budget,â&#x20AC;? Shinberger

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a really good job on a limited budget.â&#x20AC;?

Shinberger said all of Westernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing efforts are handled within the university. She said the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television department produces all of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV advertisements, and the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing department distributes them.

The Glove Factory may need some updating, according to several people who are familiar with the building.

Physical issues such as fire hazards, leaks and small amounts of storage space have caused some students and faculty to become concerned about the condition of the Glove Factory, where some of SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art classes and studios are housed. Although plans are in place to improve the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of the building by adding an elevator, Jerry Monteith, head of Graduate Studies for Art and Design, said the facility could still use some improvements.

The building once housed the Good Luck Glove Factory, but the university later purchased the building and converted

it into classroom and studio space. Phil Gatton, director of Plant and Service Operations, said SIUC renovated the building in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s.

Rachael McIndoo, a senior from Oakbrook Terrace studying painting, said fire could spread quickly because the structure is composed of a large amount of wood. Artists hang up privacy curtains over their studios while they are working, which she said is a potential fire hazard as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work with solvent, turpentine, oils, stuff like that,â&#x20AC;? McIndoo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something did get on fire, even though it is brick on the outside, it could go up pretty fast.â&#x20AC;?

At several spots on the second floor, holes in the woodwork open to the floor below, which makes it possible for small objects to fall down to the first floor. Many holes have been covered, but several remain open.

Rachael McIndoo, a senior from Oakbrook Terrace studying art, works Wednesday in her Glove Factory studio. McIndoo said her instructors told her water can leak through the mortar if it rains hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where I can put my paintings in the room because there are places where it leaks, so they can be ruined,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Monteith said leaking can also be an issue. A room on the first floor that holds a welding machine with a gas tank hooked up to it has come into contact with leaks before, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one point, I came in and water had leaked in and around this machine,â&#x20AC;? Monteith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safety issue.â&#x20AC;?

He said plans are still in talks for an elevator inside the building, which would provide easier access between the three levels. Storage space on the first floor is limited, he said, and the elevator could help students and professors reach basement storage easier.

Alex Lopez, an associate professor of sculpting, said the university is good about fixing problems when they occur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After one of the bigger storms that we had when several buildings fell down, they came out immediately (to fix leaks),â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water and electricity donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix.â&#x20AC;?

The building has held up through strong storms, too, he said. One particular storm blew the roof off the Carbondale police station in April 2011, and he said

Illinois State University in Normal has seen enrollment rise in recent years and has just over 20,000 students enrolled.

Last year, ISU saw enrollment climb to its highest total in 20 years.

Brian Beam, executive director of university marketing and communications at ISU, said the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing budget is flexible and helps target more students when needed. He said no clear budget is set, and it changes throughout the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Illinois State, we do not use a 1 percent metric to establish our

the Glove Factory was relatively unscathed.

Lopez said the School of Art and Design works closely with Plant and Service Operations and the Center for Environmental Health and Safety to make sure codes are met.

While issues do exist, Monteith said, the Glove Factory is in relatively good condition compared to the Foundry, a university complex composed of two buildings that house sculpture studios.

Only one room in the Foundry is air conditioned, Monteith said, and the rest of the building becomes very hot during the summer. The building has no water fountains, either, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like a lot of times thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tendency to forget about some of the problems that are maybe just a little bit hidden,â&#x20AC;? Monteith said.

The Glove Factoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement

and second floor have air conditioning, he said, but the first floor does not.

Gatton said no projects are planned for the Glove Factory, and the last major project he can remember is the construction of a new roof on the building four years ago. Plant and Services Operations has a 24-hour hotline for students and faculty to call with university building problems, he said.

Despite any issues as far as the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical condition, Monteith said many graduate students look back fondly on their time at the factory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You say the Glove Factory, and their eyes will light up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They remember the history of that place.â&#x20AC;?

Beam said ISU handles most of its marketing on campus as well. An outside agency is hired from time to time, but Beam said no long-term contracts are established. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marketing is as important to universities as it is to other organizations,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marketing is an important way for universities to shape their brand and communicate why students should select them over all of the choices available to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college students.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the threat is credible, but (the FBI and DPS) are taking it seriously,â&#x20AC;? Sievers said.

He said campus safety is SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 priority, and law officials will pursue this case until it is over.

Brad Ware, a media representative for the FBI, said the agency has made everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-campus safety a priority during the investigation. He said students who see or hear anything regarding the threat should contact the authorities.

DPS did not comment on the threat.

This is not the first time SIU has received threats in recent years, and Sievers said he thinks the past ones are unrelated to Wednesday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Last year, Maurice Wiggins, a 23year old Chicago man, posted bomb threats to SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. and sent anonymous emails that targeted the Student Center and residence halls.

His estranged girlfriend was a student at the university.

Wiggins was reportedly upset about a breakup last August when he made a threatening cell phone message to the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime watch website. He also called campus police several times and left messages of plans to rape

Wiggins eventually admitted to these crimes and pleaded guilty to a felony charge. He is spending his 16-month-sentence in prison and has been ordered to spend three years on post-prison supervision upon release.

Anyone who observes suspicious behavior has been asked to report information to the SIU Department of Public Safety at 453-3771 or to the FBI office in Marion at 997-6847.

U of I, which saw an 8.5 percent enrollment increase this semester, also handles its marketing internally, said Robin Taylor, associate chancellor for public affairs.

However, she said all schools should place an emphasis on marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you have all the students you can handle and they are the very best in the world, then you can always attract more students and higher quality students,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can also attract more supporters for your university.â&#x20AC;?

Taylor also said marketing efforts should differ from university to university.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are trying to prepare for the new generation and you can always do better,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the word out for those who can support you and those you want to be a part of your organization, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen.

After retiring, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole said she wanted to do something with all of her knowledge and experience as a profiler. She said she decided to write something that could inform and benefit people instead of writing a book that talked about her cases.

She also took part in a few workshops at John A. Logan College which taught parents, teachers and police officers how to detect and prevent threats in the classroom.

The proposed park and competition pool is planned to be located at Carbondaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Block recreation facility, and the council kicked in $90,000 in tourism funds by a 6-1 vote at its Sept. 11 meeting.

In addition to a $2.5 million federal grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Kathy Renfro, executive director of Carbondale Park District, said the district raised $324,000 of the required $900,000 to begin construction by spring 2013.

Jerry Kline, of Carbondale, said the park will be built right in his backyard if the project goes as planned.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a signed petition by everybody in the neighborhood whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for putting the park somewhere else,â&#x20AC;? Kline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live on a dead-end street, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet here â&#x20AC;Ś for now.â&#x20AC;?

Though the park district owns the land the splash park will be built on, Kline said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to understand his concerns without first visiting his property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close enough to where if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably sell everything and move.â&#x20AC;?

Councilwoman Jane Adams casted the lone vote against the funding and proposed the vote be postponed for 90 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main concern is that over the years it might cost more than it can bring in,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There needs to be full support from neighboring communities as well.â&#x20AC;?

Councilman Lance Jack, who voted in favor of the plan, agreed with Adams that there should be further public discussion about the water parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term sustainability.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful idea, and it feels great,â&#x20AC;? Jack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when the bills are due down the road, is this going to be another albatross around the neck of the park district?â&#x20AC;?

However, Sally Wright, co-chair of the park districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aquatics center advisory committee, said Adamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns could be put to rest with a fairly simple business practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that we will probably have our good years and our bad years,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when we have good years we just stock money away for the bad ones.â&#x20AC;?

Councilman Lee Fronabarger, who has been involved with the proposed splash park for several years, said the water park will provide 75 to 80 seasonal jobs, and

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lance Jack City councilman

it will potentially create hundreds of thousands of tourism dollars related to hosting regional swim meets.

Though the entire council agreed the splash park would draw people to the city, the construction grant leaves the remainder of the $3.4 million project to be raised by the park district.

The splash park will also include a competition pool and is expected to generate nearly $479,000 in revenue with an estimated annual operating cost at $460,000.

Councilwoman Corene McDaniel said she is confident in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to make the water park successful. She said the city should do all it can to help the district succeed with the Super Splash Park. McDaniel said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

project that has been discussed for more than 40 years.

Renfro said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimistic about the park districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to raise $500,000 by December.

She said the upcoming 24-Hour Swim-A-Thon fundraiser, which begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, at the LIFE Community Center in Carbondale, looks to raise $15,000 for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since our last fundraiser, I feel pretty good about our projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standing in the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want everyone to have ownership, and no gift is too large or too small.â&#x20AC;?

She said the university hosts students from 20 countries, with 8.5 percent of the student population being Hispanic.

Joseph Brown, director of the Africana Studies department, said diversity is not something to be celebrated. He said SIU should instead adapt to the fact that a multi-cultural campus is its reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do everything we can to keep the global community that we already have,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can welcome diversity all we want, but does it show up in our actions? Are we taking time out to get know students from other countries that we otherwise would not have had the opportunity to get to know?â&#x20AC;?

Brown said he is proud of the steps the university is taking to commit to having a multi-cultural community. The Africana Studies department has five professors who are not African-American teaching African-American courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe SIU takes such pride in announcing what a diverse community we have because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written in the mission statement that it is a major characteristic of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission statement is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enrolling students throughout Illinois and the United States and from a large number of foreign countries, SIUC actively promotes the intellectual and social benefits of cultural pluralism, encourages the participation of non-traditional groups, expands student horizons and leads to superior undergraduate education.â&#x20AC;?

Darrel Heard, a senior from Chicago studying accounting, said the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversity was a major factor in his decision to attend four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SIU was the first school I visted during my college search, and its diversity is what made it stand out the most to me,â&#x20AC;? Heard said.

Christopher Gillespie, a senior from Carbondale studying speech communication, said he believes SIU is a very diverse campus with

Quidditch, the sport made famous by J.K. Rowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? series, has arrived on campus and offers both men and women an opportunity to play a full-contact co-ed sport.

Misty Benes, an undecided freshman from Huntley, said quidditch is the sport she has wanted to play since she learned it existed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives me a chance to do something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really physically active,â&#x20AC;? Benes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Men) say women are far more whiney, but I look forward to hitting people.â&#x20AC;?

The game is played similarly to the book, excluding the flight aspect. Two teams play at a time, and each team consists of 21

players maximum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two of which must be a different gender than the other players. Only seven players from each team can play at a time. Three players are designated chasers, who try to throw the quaffle (the ball) through one of the opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three hoops. Two players are beaters, and they throw or kick bludgers at opposing players to temporarily knock them out of play. One player is the keeper who defends his or her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoops.

There is also a seeker who chases down the snitch runner and removes the snitch, scoring 30 points for his team and ending the game.

According to the International Quidditch Association, the game has been described as a mix between rugby, dodgeball and tag â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which is performed while riding a broomstick.

Saluki quidditch was founded in spring 2012. Although this is the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural season, club president Kelsea Bourland, sophomore from Marion studying physiology, said the team expects to

Shootouts were also added to regular season games, which prevented any contest from ending in a tie.

Joe Honn, a senior from Downers Grove studying journalism, said he thinks the lockout is the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fault because of how they reacted after hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity rose during the past few seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past few seasons have been some of the

function like other official teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to host tournaments â&#x20AC;Ś place high in the regionals and qualify for the (Division I) bracket in the Quidditch World Cup,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Saluki quidditch club is part of the Midwest region, which includes Michigan State University, Illinois State University, Northern Illinois University and Purdue. Bourland said she wants the team to play at least five other regional teams this year, even if it requires the team to travel.

Bourland said the most unique aspect of quidditch is the golden snitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The snitch (runner) is a person who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play for either team,â&#x20AC;?

Bourland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The snitch must be grabbed from the runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belt.

most successful, both financially and in play, in the history of hockey,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players put themselves on the line every time they skate, and the owners just rake in the money.â&#x20AC;?

Honn said he does not expect a deal in time to save all 82 scheduled games for each team. He said he thinks hockey can be saved if both the owners and players association can resolve their issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they can settle the disagreement in a timely manner, then I think hockey will be OK,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way for hockey to promote itself is by playing games.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like flag football.â&#x20AC;?

The snitch runner is allowed to run without a broom around the entire snitch boundary. How the snitch runner decides to dodge seekers is up to him or her for added excitement. A snitch runner can ride a bike around the boundaries or throw water balloons at players, but the head referee must approve it before the match, according to the IQA. Quidditch has some safety concerns since it is a full-contact sport. Aaron Carstens, a senior from Marion studying psychology and quidditch club vice president, said tackling can be an issue for the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire league is trying to legalize tackles for Quidditch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try and teach our players to wrap as they tackle to decrease

Rabota said he is getting used to balancing school work and his swim schedule, but he thinks the experience at SIU will make him a better swimmer because of the coaches and team around him.

Walker said he does not have any particular expectations for his swimmers this weekend.

the risk of injury.â&#x20AC;?

Certain forms of physical contact are prohibited and warrant a penalty to serve as player protection. According to the IQA website, pushing or tackling made from behind a player is illegal, as the opponent must be able to see the tackle from his peripheral view.

Grabbing another playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broom or jersey is also illegal. Charging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when a player attempts to run through an opponent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is legal, but one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lower his shoulder into a player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quidditch is the fastest growing college sport,â&#x20AC;? Carstens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it is still growing, meaning it will improve and get better.â&#x20AC;?

Demario Phipps-Smith can be reached at dsmith-phipps@dailyegyptian.com or 536-311 ext. 269.

He said all he wants to see is effort from his team.

Walker said the Saluki Miler and Open Water 5K will not necessarily answer any long-term team questions, but he thinks it will be a good building block for the team to work off of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that we do leads us one step closer to where we need to be at the end of the year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

/$85$$11 :22' 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ American artist Daniel Peltzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea for a new perfume sounds like it really stinks.

Peltz, an artist-in-residence at Rejmyre Art LAB in Sweden, has turned his many hours of glassblower-observing into the next hopeful perfume line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; made with the craftsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweat. He has spent the last six years at Reijmyre Glass Factory watching glassblowers diligently work on their masterpieces and drip sweat on their projects, and he decided to collect the perspiration and use it to create his perfume, called Eau de Reijmyre.

Though his wife designed it, Peltzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sweat collectors crafted the device that gathers the perspiration, he said in an

interview with examiner.com. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp at the top so the artists can run the tip along their damp skin, and the sweat travels down the neck and into the bulbous reservoir at the bottom.

He then lets the water evaporate and uses the remaining materials such as sodium, chloride and potassium. The exact formula remains undisclosed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just as any uniquely pungent perfume should â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Peltz told examiner.com his perfume smells like hints of musk, salt and sugar.

This is just gross.

As incredibly unsellable as this sounds, there is actually a factory somewhere in the world that bottles this stuff up. Peltz said production moves slowly, though, because glassblowers are few and far between in Sweden and their capacity to produce sweat is limited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just like everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Peltz told examiner.com that creating a perfume from the craftsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweat captured a different aspect of glassblowing other than what people observe and experience.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (glassblowers) are in almost contact with this untouchable thing of molten glass. Their sweat is the residue of this almost contact,â&#x20AC;? he said in the article. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, the creation of Eau de Reijmyre was a logical step; it felt like something that should be on sale in the store, alongside the other products of their labor.â&#x20AC;?

He said in a WeirdWeirdNews article that he noticed every piece of produced glass in glass factories contains sweat from the pieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The glass blowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweat and work is something that tourists appreciate when they come here and look, so to me there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a huge difference in selling the glassblowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweat and the finished glass,â&#x20AC;? he said in the article.

I would much rather look at a pretty glass bottle and think about the few drops of sweat in it than wear a beauty product that is made of the stuff. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to just leave things alone, and this is one of those times.

We should all just let people sweat and let them do their work.

Âś&UXHO 6XPPHU¡ LV ÂśJRRG¡ PXVLF %5(1'$1 60,7+ 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ Kanye West has made a career out of controversy. Taylor Swift, George Bush and almost every award show has been left in the rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrogant, chaotic and brash destruction path. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headlinegrabbing antics may be off-putting if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for his ability to fulfill his true purpose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making great music.

Despite all his self-indulgence, West is one of the hardest working men in modern music.

In the eight years since his 2004 debut â&#x20AC;&#x153;The College Dropout,â&#x20AC;? West has recorded seven studio releases and received production credits on more than 70 albums. His newest record, the 2011 Jay-Z collaboration â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watch The Throne,â&#x20AC;? was released just nine months after his last solo album, 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.â&#x20AC;?

Now, West is back with his musical military on the compilation album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cruel Summer.â&#x20AC;?

The album, a joint venture from GOOD Music, West's record label and musical collective, is the same mix of moody, dark narrative lyrics and pop sensibility as the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s pop Bananarama record from which its name derived.

The album opens with â&#x20AC;&#x153;To The World,â&#x20AC;? a melodic match between West and R. Kelly. The song is as anthemic as the title would suggest a grandiose mantra completely with blaring horns and unruly lyrics noting royalty has arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clique,â&#x20AC;? the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest single, morphs choral chants, orchestral strings and a hiccupping bass-heavy 808 into a certified club banger. Producer Hit-Boy, the phenom behind 2011 hit single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Niggas in Paris,â&#x20AC;? lives up to his name.

Big Sean is as charismatic as ever on the album, and Jay-Z switches up his rhymes and rides the bassline in the only way he can, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West who steps out as

lead wordsmith. He goes from tongue-incheek, poking fun at his highly publicized and criticized relationship with Kim Kardashian (â&#x20AC;&#x153;My girl a superstar all from her home movie/Bow on our arrival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the un-American idolsâ&#x20AC;?) to shockingly vulnerable (Went through, deep depression when my momma passed/Suicide, what kinda talk is that?) in a single verse.

In â&#x20AC;&#x153;New God Flow,â&#x20AC;? Pusha Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verbose snarls lay perfectly over the dark, piano-heavy beat. The track sampleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mighty Healthyâ&#x20AC;? by Ghostface Killah who in turn closes out the track with the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest verse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Morningâ&#x20AC;? delivers a pulsating electro beat and strong verses from Raekwon, Common, 2 Chainz and Kid Cudi, but Nigerian singer Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;banjâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chorus feels awkward and out of place.

The singles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sin City,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Higher,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mercyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coldâ&#x20AC;? are particular standouts and unique musical gems.

Chancellor Rita Cheng anounced in her State of the University Address Sept. 5 that African-American students make up 37 percent of the 2012 freshman class. That number is up by about eight percent from last fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29.37 percent, according to the 20112012 SIU Institutional Research and Studies.

She said the university has students from 20 countries, with 8.5 percent of the student population being Hispanic.

Joseph Brown, director of the Africana Studies department at SIU, said diversity is not something to be celebrated. He said instead SIU should adapt to the fact that a multi-cultural campus is its reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do everything we can to keep the global community that we already have,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can welcome diversity all we want, but does it show up in our actions? Are we taking time out to get know students from other countries that we otherwise would not have had the opportunity to get to know?â&#x20AC;?

Brown said he is proud of the steps the university is taking to commit to having a multi-cultural community. The Africana Studies department has five professors that are not African-American teaching African-American courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe SIU takes such pride in announcing what a diverse community we have because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written in the mission statement that it is a major characteristic of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

SIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission statement is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enrolling students throughout Illinois and the United States and from a large number of foreign countries, SIUC actively promotes the intellectual and social benefits of cultural pluralism, encourages the participation of non-traditional groups, expands student horizons and leads to superior undergraduate education.â&#x20AC;?

Darrel Heard, a senior from Chicago studying accounting, said the diversity of SIU was a major factor in his decision to attend the university four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SIU was the first school I visted during my college search, and its diversity is what made it stand out the most to me,â&#x20AC;? Heard said.

Quidditch, the sport made famous by J.K. Rowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? series, has arrived on campus and offers both men and women an opportunity to play a full-contact co-ed sport.

Misty Benes, an undecided freshman from Huntley, said quidditch is the sport she has wanted to play since she learned it existed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives me a chance to do something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really physically active,â&#x20AC;? Benes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Men) say women are far more whiney, but I look forward to hitting people.â&#x20AC;?

The game is played similar to the book, excluding the flight aspect.

maximum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two of which must be a different gender than the other players. Only seven players from each team can play at a time. Three players are designated chasers, who try to throw the quaffle (the ball) through one of the opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three hoops. Two players are beaters, and they throw or kick bludgers at opposing players to temporarily knock them out of play. One player is the keeper who defends his or her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoops.

There is also a seeker who chases down the snitch runner and removes the snitch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scoring 30 points for his team and ending the game.

According to the International Quidditch Associtian, the game has been described as a mix between rugby, dodgeball and tag â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which is performed while riding a broomstick.

Saluki Quidditch was founded in spring 2012. Although this is the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural season, club president Kelsea Bourland, sophomore from Marion studying physiology, said the team expects to function like other official

Shootouts were also added to regular season games, which prevented any contest from ending in a tie.

Joe Honn, a senior from Downers Grove studying journalism, said he thinks the lockout is the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fault because of how they reacted after hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity rose during the past few seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past few seasons have been some of the

teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to host tournaments â&#x20AC;Ś place high in the regionals and qualify for the (division 1) bracket in the Quidditch World Cup,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Saluki quidditch club is part of the Midwest region, which includes Michigan State University, Illinois State University, Northern Illinois University and Purdue.

Bourland said she wants the team to play at least five other regional teams this year, even if it requires the team to travel.

Bourland said the most unique aspect of quidditch is the golden snitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The snitch (runner) is a person who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play for either team,â&#x20AC;?

Bourland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The snitch must be grabbed from the runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belt.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like flag football.â&#x20AC;?

most successful, both financially and in play, in the history of hockey,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players put themselves on the line every time they skate, and the owners just rake in the money.â&#x20AC;?

Honn said he does not expect a deal in time to save all 82 scheduled games for each team. He said he thinks hockey can be saved if both the owners and players association can resolve their issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they can settle the disagreement in a timely manner, then I think hockey will be OK,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way for hockey to promote itself is by playing games.â&#x20AC;?

The snitch runner is allowed to run, without a broom, around the entire snitch boundary. How the snitch runner decides to dodge seekers is up to him or her for added excitement. A snitch runner can ride a bike around the boundaries or throw water balloons at players, but the head referee must approve it before the match, according to the IQA. Quidditch has some safety concerns since it is a full-contact sport. Aaron Carstens, a senior from Marion studying psychology and quidditch club vice president, said tackling can be an issue for the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire league is trying to legalize tackles for Quidditch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try and teach our players to wrap as they tackle to decrease the risk of injury.â&#x20AC;?

Rabota said he is getting used to balancing school work and his swim schedule, but he said he thinks the experience at SIU will make him a better swimmer because of the coaches and team around him.

Walker said he does not have any particular expectations for his swimmers this weekend.

Certain forms of physical contact are prohibited and warrant a penalty to serve as player protection. According to the IQA website, pushing or tackling made from behind a player is illegal, as the opponent must be able to see the tackle from his peripheral view.

Grabbing another playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broom or jersey is also illegal. Charging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when a player attempts to run through an opponent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is legal, but one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lower his shoulder into a player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quidditch is the fastest growing college sport,â&#x20AC;?

Junior swimmer Jacob Lucheon, left, does a rope exercise Monday during swimming practice at the Edward J. Shea Natatorium while teammates Luisa Silveira, center, and Calvin Kolar wait for a turn. The SIU swim teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season begins tomorrow during the Saluki Miler at 6 p.m. at the natatorium. Both the Saluki men and women took first place in the 1650-yard distance race last year.

Saluki swimming coach Rick Walker said the team is ready to go after months away from competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is, we want to get in and compete,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Saluki swimming and diving team will compete in its first season event against Illinois State this weekend in the Saluki Miler and the Open Water 5K. The Saluki Miler, which starts at 6 p.m.

Friday at the Edward J. Shea Natatorium, will feature the 400M individual medley as well as the 1650M individual medley mile.

The Open Water 5K begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Little Grassy Lake Marina in Makanda.

Walker said junior Kirsten Groome, who won both the Saluki Miler and Open Water 5K for the last three years, is listed as questionable because of injury and may not compete.

Senior Melissa Larocque said she is exhausted from summer training, but she is excited to finally get the chance to compete against another team, especially the Redbirds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swimming against Illinois State,

which is one of our biggest rivals,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to come into our house and show us how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.â&#x20AC;?

Walker said the Illinois State team, which is a female-only squad, has the same team-building mentality as his when it comes to seasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first events.

He said his team is anxious to start the new season and compete against someone new. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our swimmers tend to work really hard, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of racing themselves, so they want to go race someone else to see how they stack up against somebody they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sophomore Oleg Rabota, who just started his first semester at SIU, said he is excited to start his first season with the Salukis. Rabota competed in the 2008 Beijing Olymics for his home country of Kazakhstan.

Rabota typically swims shorter distances, but he said he has some experience in longdistance open-water competition. He said he is looking forward to the event, even if the water is expected to be frigid.

)PDLFZ GBOT QSFQBSF GPS BOPUIFS /)- MPDLPVU $/(; 52672:6.< 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ When the National Hockey League returned after a lockout cancelled the entire 2004-05 season, it seemed like its representatives learned a valuable lesson.

This year, it seems as if everyone associated with the league has developed amnesia.

The NHL began its fourth lockout in the past 20 years when the collective bargaining agreement, which was signed in 2005, expired Sunday.

Similar to the National Basketball and Football League lockouts of last year, the battle is between moneyhungry players and even greedier owners. The people with the most to lose, though, are those who pay their salaries: the fans.

Brad Defreitas, a senior from Springfield studying criminal justice, said he thinks the situation looks

unfavorable now, but he does not see the league canceling the entire season as it did in 2004-05. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will be that bad because I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said he does think the league will have to resort to canceling a few games since the regular season is slated to begin Oct. 11.

The 29 NHL owners of the 30 teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; excluding the Phoenix Coyotes, which are owned by the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are unanimously in favor of reducing the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; share of hockeyrelated revenue from 57 percent, which was established during the last agreement, to 46 percent.

Other ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposals include putting maximum term limits on player contracts, eliminating signing bonuses when players sign contracts and creating a uniform salary for each year of a contract.

These ideas contradict many NHL ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions over the past

few years, particularly those in charge of large markets such as New York and Chicago.

In 2009, the Chicago Blackhawks signed 30-year-old Marian Hossa to a 12-year contract. The contract is â&#x20AC;&#x153;front-loaded,â&#x20AC;? as Hossa is due to receive $59.3 million of the overall $62.8 million during the dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first eight years.

Such agreements give owners the flexibility to cut players or make it easier to trade them during the dealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later years when, typically, their value and production decreases.

Contracts such as Hossaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Ilya Kovalchukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of the New Jersey Devils would not exist under the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposition.

Courtney Tries, a senior from Buffalo, N.Y., studying animal science, said she sides with the players in the labor dispute. She said she thinks the situation could cost the league the entire 2012-13 season

œœI

am getting less and less optimistic. The players appear to be extremely united and are not going to back down. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Courtney Tries Senior from Buffalo, N.Y., studying animal science

because of how far apart the two sides are at the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am getting less and less optimistic,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players appear to be extremely united and are not going to back down.â&#x20AC;?

Tries said she interprets the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side of the argument as them merely asking for a pay raise. She said she thinks the blame lies with the owners, particularly the more wealthy individuals in larger markets.

She said the NHL needs to help the smaller market teams such as the Buffalo Sabres, her favorite, which is failing to turn a profit year

after year. More than half of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams find themselves in the same predicament.

The fiascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest surprise to many is how soon it is happening after hockey triumphantly returned in fall 2005.

Fan attendance was at a record high after the signed 2005 collective bargaining agreement.

The agreement made hockey more appealing to the casual fan because rules were changed, which made scoring easier.
