JULIA RENDLEMAN | D AILY E GYPTIAN Lexie Tourville, 12, left, of Murphysboro, waits for Holocaust survivor Marion Blumenthal Lazan to speak while her friend Kathryn Dunning, 12, of Murphysboro, reads Lazan’s book, “Four Little Pebbles.” The book is an account of Lazan’s family’s tribulations under the Nazi regime and life in prison camps during WWII. Dunning’s mother Kristy said Kathryn has had a strong interest in the Holocaust ever since she read “The Diary of Anne Frank” in third grade. “I think she empathizes with the children of the Holocaust and what they went through at her age,” Dunning’s mother said. “If people are interested, it won’t happen again,” Kathryn Dunning said. Tourville and Dunning joined hundreds of people who came to hear Lazan speak at the First Methodist Church in Carbondale Tuesday.

The foul odor of filth and death still haunts Marion Blumenthal Lazan. Lazan said she spent her days as a child searching for four pebbles of the same size and shape while trapped in a German concentration camp during the Holocaust. Lazan and her family spent six and a half years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, living like refugees with little food, water

Following Hitler’s rise
to power, more than six million Jews were forced into concentration camps scattered throughout Germany. “We were pulled and dragged out of cattle cars and greeted by German guards who were shouting at us and threatening us with the most vicious German dogs by their sides,” Lazan said. “To this day, I still feel a certain kind of fear when I see a German shepherd.” See SPEAKER | 3
A Jimmy John’s delivery driver was the victim of an armed robbery at the 500 block of East Forest Street Monday, according to police and shop sources. After exiting the vehicle, the driver was approached by two unidentified males in black hooded sweatshirts at about 8:56 p.m., a Carbondale police report stated. The suspects took the food order and money from the victim and fled. The report also stated the driver believed one of the suspects had a weapon at the time. The driver was unharmed. The suspect called Jimmy John’s on South Illinois Street several times from a private number and asked the driver to bring change for $100, said Joseph Davolt, the employee who took the suspect’s calls. Davolt said the suspect first asked the order be sent to 510 S. Forest St., but then called back and changed it to 505 S. Forest St. “He kept calling back asking, ‘Hey, is it gonna get here? When’s it gonna get here?’ and finally when it got there, he robbed (the driver),” Davolt said. Jimmy John’s management declined to comment. The police report describes one suspect as 5 feet 6 inches tall and the other as 5 feet 8 inches tall. Police did not release the amount of money taken in order to aid the ongoing investigation.

Elyse Hiller and Lisa Geissler are training to complete a nearly 40-mile walk this weekend to raise money for breast cancer research. The two university employees are leaving Friday to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Charlotte, N.C. According to the Avon Foundation Web site, the walk covers up to 26.2 miles Saturday and an additional 13.1 miles Sunday. According to the Web site, the goal is to raise money to support breast cancer research and help men and women
diagnosed with breast cancer get the medical care they need. Hiller, a financial aid adviser, said the two became interested in the walk this past summer while vacationing with friends in Florida. A friend from South Carolina encouraged them to join the walk after going out and walking together several times, Hiller said. Hiller said the two were hesitant at first because of the commitment required. “You have to raise $1,800, and whatever you don’t raise you have to come up with yourself,” Hiller said. Both have surpassed their $1,800 goal. Hiller said she has raised more
than $1,900 and Geissler said she has raised $2,100 so far, but both are still accepting donations. “It was pretty stressful for a while because we didn’t know if we would raise the money,” said Geissler, a telecommunicator with the Department of Public Safety. Geissler said her grandmother and several friends were diagnosed with breast cancer and watching someone go through the treatment is incredibly difficult. “The least I can do is to walk 40 miles for what these women have to go through for treatment,” Geissler said. “I just wish they would find a cure for it.”
Hiller said the two have been training since the summer, which has been getting more difficult with work schedules and the sun setting earlier in the day. Hiller said she walks everyday at lunch and will keep training until the trip. “We’ve had fun training,” Hiller said. “I’m ready.” Hiller said participants would need to walk about 3 miles per hour in order to complete the walk at the pace outlined by the Avon Foundation. Though this is her first time participating in an event for a cause such as breast cancer, Hiller said she doubts it would be her last.
“I already told (Geissler) we still have to walk at least once a weekend,” Hiller said. According to the Avon Foundation Web site, the walk in Charlotte is the final of nine walks held throughout the nation. Madeleine Leroux can be reached at 536-3311 ext. 254.

In a country where sports thrive off violent collisions and an utter disregard for the human anatomy, it should come as no surprise rugby is making headway in American culture. Even though the sport is often dwarfed by popular American sports, such as football and baseball, rugby has been in America since May 14, 1874 when Harvard University beat Montreal’s McGill University in the first game ever recorded to be played on U.S. soil. “Rugby here at SIU has been around since 1979 as a club,” Luke Mathews, a senior studying management said. “And I can say, just (with) the time I’ve been here, it’s grown and still is growing. We have quite an alumni base, and we always have a lot of people who love to come watch us play and support the team.” Mathews, president of the SIU men’s rugby club, said the team consisted of around 20 members his freshman year. This year the team has just fewer than 50 members. Mathews said it would be interesting to see how the sport might take off should it garner recognition from the National Collegiate Athletic Association. “As far as it ever becoming a Division-I sport, that’s primarily pending on funding from the school — which is something that just isn’t available yet,” Mathews said. “Another thing which could put us on the map would be winning a Union (title), like we just lost, unfortunately.” SIU’s only loss of the season came last Saturday at the hands of Western Illinois University, 17-7. The loss ended the Saluki’s fall season, which included five victories and a chance at a union title. A.J. Strandquist, a senior studying marketing, has been affiliated with the club all four of his years at Carbondale. “I’ve played rugby since I was a freshman in high school,” Strandquist said. “And SIU is probably one of the tightest teams I’ve ever played with in terms of camaraderie — this is a great group of guys, and we’re pretty good.” Strandquist said he is not surprised rugby has not garnered attention in America, but said the future

of the sport is bright. “This is still considered a fairly new sport in the U.S, but it’s still growing,” Strandquist said. “It’s the largest collegiate club sport in the nation, and it’s gaining university affiliates all the time. Little by little, it will get implemented just like everything else, but it’s just going to take some time.” The Saluki sideline was lively Saturday thanks to a rowdy crowd of alumni, parents and students who showed up to watch the team’s final game. Ken Anderson, a four-year club member who graduated in 2008, was among the crowd Saturday. He said his years within the club were a positive experience. “My time playing here was simply amazing,” Anderson said. “I was able to build a lot of good relationships and networks through not only

teammates, but plenty of faculty as well. It was a heck of a lot of fun too.” Anderson said rugby could gain national recognition, and only then will people discover the subtle elements of the game that set it apart from other sports. “Back in the day, rugby was played for fun. Now, it’s starting to get serious,” Anderson said. “And major (TV) networks are realizing how physical and athletic this is, but the sportsmanship part of the game is unrivaled,” he said. “In football, teams play 60 minutes and (players) are taught to almost hate (their) opponent. In rugby, you go out there and kill each other for 80 minutes, and you’re having a beer with the other guys afterward.” Ray McGillis can be reached at 536-3311 ext. 282.

Lazan and her family suffered through the war until liberated by the Russian Army nearly six and a half years later. Although weak and ill with typhus, Lazan, her mother and older brother survived the brutal treatment of the Holocaust. Her father did not. “I separated myself from this ever having happened to me, and that is how I deal with it,” Lazan said. Lazan said she has told her story to more than one million students, and many students from SIUC were present for her speech at the church. Rachel Wides, a graduate student from Carbondale in social work, brought several students from Hillel, a Registered Student Organization for Jewish students. She said Lazan’s speech was truthful and something her students needed to hear. “We need to hear blunt honesty to learn and grow from what happened in the past,” Wides said. Alex Francois, a senior from Kankakee studying music performance, played the lead cello during a rendition from Schindler’s List. “It’s like I’m dreaming,” Francios said. “(Playing) paints a picture in my head and brings shivers to my bones.” No matter how many times Lazan tells her story, Pastor Alan Rhein said it would never be enough. “We just can’t allow people to ever forget this,” he said.

Though she didn’t know it until Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Carbondale Councilwoman Corene McDaniel was a 2009 recipient of the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award. “I am lost for words,” said McDaniel, who was visibly stunned when City Clerk Janet Vaught announced the award. Studs Terkel Award recipients are selected for their efforts to further public understanding of, and appreciation for, the humanities in the community, according to the press release read by Vaught. The award was given to more than 40 Illinois citizens in 2009. McDaniel received the award for her involvement in the African-American Museum, where she still volunteers after she co-founded it in 1997. “This is an ultimate award,” McDaniel said. “I can’t say that it would get any better than that. But when you go about your daily business doing what you enjoy doing, that in itself is a reward.” McDaniel is the second Studs Terkel Award recipient from Carbondale; Dr. Blanche Carlton Sloane received the award in 2006 for his work as an actor, playwright, columnist, film narrator and disc jockey. The Council also approved the
leasing of space in the Eurma C. Hayes Center to Southern Region Early Childhood Programs, an SIUC-based child care group, at the meeting. Southern Region will pay the city $24,555 per year in rent and provide child-parent education in child development, nutrition, reading instruction, positive guidance and health and dental care, according to the Council Request for Action document. The program is licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and operated through the university, the document stated. The center has been without a child care program since the closing of the city-run program at the center in August. Councilman Joel Fritzler said since the organization gets to expand and the city collects rent, the leasing is a win-win for both parties. Fritzler also said the city is hoping Southern Region will hire former employees of the city’s day care. Community members also expressed their discontent with a proposed ordinance amendment that would require the removal of a group of mobile homes that do not meet city code requirements within two years. The council voted to postpone discussion on the issue. Nick Johnson can be reached at 536-3311 ext. 263.

Humane societies across the nation are overrun with unwanted, stray and neglected animals that need homes, Murphysboro shelter staff members said. For households that aren’t stable enough to care for an animal, the humane society said they offer a sponsorship program in which volunteers take an animal into their home and care for it until a request for adoption is verified.

Editor’s Note: Ten-Year Itch is a weekly column focusing on a f ilm or album at least 10 years old and deserving of a second look. With Halloween approaching, it is time to give the scary movie collection an overhaul. Do not settle for watching the “Halloween” entry starring Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks on late-night TV again. There are so many hidden gems out there with actual scares and decent filmmaking. In 1987, “Monster Squad” was released as an entry into the “Goonies,” “Lost Boys” canon. The films feature children in sticky situations where they must make big life decisions, except “Squad” does not star Corey Feldman or Corey Haim. The film is about three young friends with a passion for horror films
who sit up in a tree house dreaming of slaying monsters. Through a series of mishaps — one involving a plane crash carrying the coffins of Frankenstein’s monster and Dracula and another concerning an amulet balancing the good and evil in the world — the boys get their wish. These young friends take Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon head-on in attempt to stop a newly awakened Dracula from taking over the world. The look of the film is classic 80s campy nonsense, which is a good thing. There is gory violence and snarky dialogue, but it is all used to the film’s betterment. As the friends fight to defeat monsters, they must take serious actions and make adult-level decisions. Where most films would treat the child characters as if they grew up immediately when the problem arose, this film keeps the boys grounded in reality. They are still trading juvenile barbs, such as call-
ing testicles “nards.” The attention to youthful innocence gives the film a semblance of reality, or at least as much reality that can be attached to a film about fighting monsters. Another unique aspect to this film is there is no real moral dilemma solved. The film is a feature about boys loving and embracing danger. They do not learn about the pitfalls of greed or the beauty of a loving relationship; it is an hour and a half of them talking dirty and kicking monsters’ rear. The film failed terribly at the box office, only making back a little more than a quarter of its budget. In the two decades since its release, it has found a cult following prompting its release on DVD. Run, drive, hop on someone’s back to get to a rental spot (or download it, not that The Pulse staff would condone that sort of behavior) and give this film a chance.

NEW YORK — In court papers filed by The Associated Press, the news organization said Shepard Fairey concocted the story that he was mistaken about which photo he used to create the famous Obama HOPE poster and disputed his contention that he has not personally profited from the iconic
red, white and blue image. Days after Fairey acknowledged trying to destroy potentially damaging evidence in his legal battle with the AP, the news agency filed amended papers in Manhattan federal court, accusing the Los Angeles-based poster artist of deliberate deception. Until recently, Fairey had claimed his image was based on a 2006 photo of then-Sen. Barack
Obama, seated next to actor George Clooney. Fairey now says that he was in error and that he used a solo, close-up shot of Obama, as the AP had long alleged. “It is simply not credible that Fairey somehow forgot in January 2009 which source image he used to create the Infringing Works, which were completed only a year earlier in January 2008,” according to the papers filed Tuesday.

JONATHAN S. LANDAY | M C C LATCHY TRIBUNE Mohammad Jawad hugs his uncle, Haji Gul Naik, after he is reunited with his family following nearly seven years of detention at Guantanamo Bay, Aug 24. in Kabul, Afghanistan. Jawad was detained at about age 14 — his family claims he was 12 — after being accused of throwing a grenade that wounded U.S. troops. A federal judge threw out the case, saying the U.S. government had no evidence. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed suit to obtain unreleased photos of detainee abuse under the Freedom of Information Act and won two rounds in federal court. The bill would essentially trump the ACLU’s case. The administration has appealed to the Supreme Court and Obama has said he would use every available means to block release of additional detainee abuse photos because they could whip
up anti-American sentiment overseas and endanger U.S. troops. His powers include issuing an order to classify the photos, thus blocking their release. The bill also would extend for three years the E-Verify program, which uses the Social Security Administration database so that employers can verify the immigration status of new hires. A GOP plan to permanently expand the voluntary program and make it mandatory for federal contractors —
which passed the Senate in July — was dropped during House-Senate talks. The E-Verify program is a favorite of lawmakers who prefer an enforcement-first approach to immigration policy. They want to make it mandatory for employers nationwide. But more liberal lawmakers want to pair it with other elements of immigration reform, such as creating a so-called pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in this country.

Jerry Miles, 51, a native of Chicago, and David Sarber, 50, a lifelong resident of Carbondale and mechanic for Yellow Cab, are a kind of odd couple. Miles is filled with laughter and one-liners, and Sarber appears reserved and somewhat stoic on first impression. Miles said he met Sarber 13 years ago while collecting cans near Sarber’s home. One day he knocked on his neighbor’s door for cans and
Sarber invited him in for a beer. After talking, they had an instant connection. The ethnic difference between the men didn’t matter in their friendship. “He’s like a brother to me; I don’t care about all that race stuff,” Miles said. About two and a half years ago, Sarber was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes. After Sarber’s diagnosis, Miles said
he decided he would offer a helping hand in maintaining the taxis his friend has worked on for 30 years. Both men work as mechanics at Yellow Cab now, and Sarber is training Miles to take over after he retires. “I gotta hang up the tools,” Sarber said. Sarber said the job is getting more difficult, and he wants to devote more time to his health Sarber has an implant, a “port,” under his skin used for receiving

After five weeks on the sideline, the mask came back for the Salukis in their biggest upset of the season. Senior outside linebacker Chauncey Mixon, and his trademark tinted facemask visor, returned to the field Saturday for the first time since he broke his jaw Sept. 5 against Marshall. He had his jaw wired shut

Sept. 6 and did not have the wires removed until Oct. 8. “When I first got (the wires) on, the first couple of days, the first couple of weeks — it took some getting used to,” Mixon said. “I got better at it, though.” The fifth-year senior returned to practice in full pads just four days before Saturday’s historic 27-20 SIU win over Northern Iowa. It was the first time the Salukis had won in Cedar Falls, Iowa since 1983. Mixon

contributed four tackles, including a half-tackle with Tony Colletti for a loss. The tackle for a loss was Mixon’s 37th and a half in his career. He is now only 3.5 tackles for losses away from passing Tavita Tovio for second all-time in SIU history. “Chauncey definitely did a good job. You could tell he was having fun out there playing,” head coach Dale Lennon said. “You could tell he was a little rusty; one thing when you miss four weeks is you lose the finer points — but it’s going to come back for him.” The road to recovery was tougher for the preseason all-conference linebacker than tackling opposing quarterbacks. Mixon had to eat through a straw
when he first had the wires put in, but he slowly moved up to sipping his food out of a cup. Despite the difficulty eating, Mixon rested only one week after getting the wires before hitting the practice field again. While his teammates hit each other, Mixon hit the track. Mixon ran laps and stairs at McAndrew Stadium while the rest of the team practiced on the field. He soon started back up with the weight program to keep his 215-pound playing weight. “I had no real pain going on when I worked out, as long as I got my nutrients,” Mixon said. “All I needed to do was breathe. Give me that and my nutrients, and I could run and lift as much as I wanted.”

Outside linebacker returns after missing four weeks Mixon’s teammate and roommate, Brandin Jordan, said Mixon brings the linebacker unit together. “We already had a talented group, but it felt like we were missing a part of our talent with Mixon gone,” Jordan said. “With his energy and personality, he brings a lot to our unit. With all the other talented guys in our group, it’s nice having one more to attack teams with.” Despite missing four games, Mixon said the whole situation might have paved the way for a potential career. “I think I could be a ventriloquist now,” Mixon said.

The losing streak has ended. The SIU volleyball team won in non-conference play Tuesday against Southeast Missouri State University 3-1 (25-23, 17-25, 2519) in Cape Girardeau, Mo., ending its four-game losing streak. Head coach Brenda Winkeler said the win was an important one for the Salukis. “It was a huge booster for our confidence,” Winkeler said. “We needed a win, and it should help us going into the second half of the season.” SIU (14-6, 2-6) started out by winning a tightly contested first game in which there were four ties and three lead changes. Freshman setter Rachael Brown almost recorded a double-double, finishing with 13 assists and eight digs in the game. Brown said the key to SIU’s suc-
cess in the first game was getting the ball to the hot player. “The key to our offense is getting the ball to our people at the right time,” Brown said. “Anyone on our team is capable of getting hot at any time; it’s just finding the right person.” The second game did not go as well. While the Salukis tied the game on four occasions, they trailed throughout and lost 25-17. The Redhawks hit .175 to the Salukis’ .000. SIU had 10 errors in the game — including six by junior right side hitter Alicia Johnson, who hit -.750 in the game. Johnson was pulled from the game at the end of second set but returned to action for the third set and played the remainder of the match. Johnson said she changed her focus to get back on track. “I can’t just stay negative, so I focused on the positive and was able to play the rest of the match all right,” Johnson said.

!"#$%&'()*&+,Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has created an application for iPhones allowing fans to follow his antics off the field. Which athlete’s iPhone application would you pay for?
RYAN VOYLES rvoyles @siu.edu
Get me an application to follow Kyle Orton’s high jinks’, and you will have another loyal customer, Apple. I can only imagine all the aspects that could go into the application. You could have different features such as ‘find what bar Orton is at’ and ‘test your neck beard against Orton’s.’ It would even have a built-in Breathalyzer so you too could be like Orton. Of course, Jack Daniels would sponsor the application.
John Rocker’s application would be quite interesting; I really want to know what goes on in that head of his. The app, ironically, would feature a target saying “Bang head here,” with Rocker in the background yelling obscenities. Wait, that’s just what he did before leaving the bullpen.

I think it would be sweet to have a Peyton Manning application so every time he throws for 400 yards, a picture of a crowd comes up and cheers for five minutes straight. The man breaks records; give him his app.
In the third game, SIU came out strong, hitting .273 to the Redhawks’ .106. Southeast Missouri State had nine errors. Junior outside hitter Jennifer Berwanger became the second Saluki on the night to post a doubledouble with 13 kills and 13 digs at the end of the set. She finished the night with 17 kills and 21 digs. “Bouncing back from the second game was all about confidence,” Winkeler said. “We know we are a good team, and in the third and fourth games we showed how good we can be.” The final game was similar to the third. There was one lead change, but SIU dominated throughout the set and won 25-18.
Freshman outside hitter Laura Thole’s 10 kills and 21 assists in the game notched the third double-double of the evening for the Salukis. With the victory, SIU is 11-0 in non-conference play. Southeast Missouri University is now 8-13 and 4-6 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Salukis return to conference play Friday and Saturday with matches against Bradley and Northern Iowa. “We will be playing with a lot of confidence this weekend, and hopefully we can pick up a couple more wins,” Winkeler said.

CHICAGO — The Chicago Bears and quarterback Jay Cutler have agreed on a two-year contract extension that runs through the 2013 season. Acquired in a blockbuster trade from Denver in the offseason, the Pro Bowl quarterback has com-
pleted 110 of 172 passes with 1,201 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading Chicago to a 3-2 record. With a 64.0 completion rate and 240.2 yards passing per game, he is on pace to set club single-season records. Drafted 11th overall by Denver in 2006, Cutler has thrown for 10,225 yards, 64 touchdowns and 44 inter-
ceptions while completing 872 of 1,392 passes. He made his first Pro Bowl last season while setting a Broncos record with 4,526 yards, but a falling out with new coach Josh McDaniels ultimately led to the trade to Chicago. In return, the Broncos got quarterback Kyle Orton along with two firstround draft picks and a third-rounder.

The Salukis did not finish the fall season the way they planned. The SIU men’s golf team wrapped up its fall season Tuesday at the University of Dayton Fall Invitational in Kettering, Ohio, finishing 11th out of 17 teams with a 36-hole score of 624. SIU men’s golf coach Leroy Newton said this tournament was not the way the team wanted to finish the fall season. “We didn’t put our best foot forward, and we expected to shoot a little bit lower,” Newton said. Senior golfer Patrick Scheil said the course was tough and the conditions were difficult to play in.

“It seemed like one of those courses (where) if you came away from a hole with a bogey, it was an accomplishment,” Scheil said. Ball State University finished in first place with a 36-hole score of 596 followed by University of Toledo (601) and Bowling Green State (604). Malone University and Ohio University rounded out the top five with scores of 606 and 608 respectively. Senior golfer Blake Driskell led the way for the Salukis in the tworound tournament with scores of 73 and 77 for a final 36-hole score of 150. His two-round total put him in a tie for 10th. “I played really solid,” Driskell said. “After the end of the first day, I walked away happy, which is hard for any golfer to say.” The second-lowest score belonged to senior golfer Jordan Cox, who finished 37th overall with a 36-hole score of 155. Scheil finished a few shots higher than Cox, carding an 80 in his first round and a 76 in his final round for 42nd overall with a 36-

Freshman golfer Jake Erickson finished 81st overall, doubling his first round score of 82 for a 164. Sophomore Ryan Hudson rounded out the Salukis, finishing 87th overall with a 36-hole 166. Despite not finishing the fall season the way they had hoped, the
Salukis remain optimistic about the spring. Driskell said there are some goals the team will work toward in the spring season. “I think that one of our goals needs to be playing more consistent and also being more comfortable as a team,” Driskell said.
Scheil said the team has work to do before the spring season rolls around. “We all know where we are as a team,” Scheil said. “We know what we need to work on, which is fundamentals.” Ryan Simonin can be reached at 536-3311 ext. 282.
