Lori Stettler named vice chancellor for student affairs AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeilaBlakely

At its regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 14, the Board of Trustees named Lori Stettler as vice chancellor for student affairs. Stettler has held an interim position in the student affairs division since its re-establishment in July 2015, but has served SIU since May 2006. It was re-established in July 2015 after a recommendation to resurrect the position came from a task force that studied the efficiency and effectiveness of non academic student services. Before being appointed as interim vice chancellor for student affairs, Stettler was vice chancellor for auxiliary services since 2011. “I am excited to have earned this opportunity to continue to serve students and lead the Division of Student Affairs," Stettler said in a university press release. "I am excited to continue that service through this new appointment.� Chancellor Carlo Montemagno recommended Stettler’s appointment to provide the units reporting to her greater stability and allow Stettler to find productivity in personnel and operations. “With over 30 years of experience in Student Affairs, she has spent her entire career in service to students on university campuses throughout the Midwest and here at SIU," Montemagno said in a university press release. "I know she will continue to move our student affairs initiatives forward.� Stettler has also served as director of the Student Center at SIU, director of campus life and director of recreational sports at Southeast Missouri State University. She also worked in student affairs positions at Purdue University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Wichita State University. She also taught in the departments of communications and health, human performance and recreation at Southeast Missouri State. Stettler received her bachelor’s degree

Group formed out of frustration aims to research reorganization plan AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeilaBlakely

A group composed of frustrated faculty, staff, students and community members has formed looking for answers and research about the chancellor’s reorganization. The Coordinating Committee for Change formed after a campus and local community meeting on Oct. 25 that discussed the chancellor’s proposed reorganization and department elimination. Natasha Zaretsky, an organizer in the CCC and an associate professor in the history department, said members are committed to finding data and researching the chancellor's proposed restructuring. After the forum on Oct. 25, attendees were emailed, and a signup sheet was passed around for anyone interested in being involved in more than just forums, Zaretsky said. “One of the things that came out of the forum was that we needed people who were going to be actively following what was going on with restructuring, willing to put in time, raising questions and research,” Zaretsky said. Although it has been characterized as the group formed in opposition to the chancellor’s proposal, Zaretsky said that's not accurate. Zaretsky said members are concerned about the process of changing the university’s structure, shared governance and creating transparency between the administration and the campus and local community. The CCC is set up into four working groups. One of those groups focuses on creating an online research database about universities that have undergone a reorganization similar to what the chancellor is proposing.

The online database formed out of the CCC members’ frustration with the lack of research and data supporting the chancellor’s proposal. “Something a number of us have found frustrating, is when we have asked the chancellor where these ideas are coming from and what research he has done, we have found that we don’t always get answers to those questions,” Zarestky said. “We’re academics, we’re interested in evidence.” The CCC is finding evidence and research about the proposal as well as gathering data about the campus community’s thoughts about the chancellor’s reorganization. This research will be used to see a broader picture of positive and negative feelings of the chancellor’s plan, Zarestky said. The CCC is using a survey on their website to see a broader scope of positive and negative feedback on the chancellor’s plan. The survey’s deadline is Feb. 11. “Any type of change coming from a leader should have the support of the people they’re leading and right now the support does not seem evident,” Gregory Wendt, a CCC member and staff member for the Center of Teaching Excellence said. “The leadership should listen to the students, staff and faculty and reboot.” If the chancellor’s proposal is implemented and departments and department chairs are eliminated, Wendt fears valuable and talented faculty will leave the university in search for other jobs if the proposal is implemented. Wendt said, when a department students are depending on and faculty members have invested time in is dissolved faculty begin to start looking somewhere else to work. If departments and department chairs are eliminated, Wendt said, the structure would deter graduate

students from pursuing research and work at the university because there are programs instead of departments. A program, Wendt said, is viewed by many people as something weaker than a department because a department has a specific structure and discipline. Not only would the university look less appealing for graduate students, it would also hand down more administrative work to faculty, Wendt said. Currently, a department chair is who takes on the administrative responsibility of a department and

is unable to participate in teaching and research. Wendt said, he fears the chancellor’s proposal will cause great chaos and disruption to students who need stability and consistency at the university. “Any change will cause disruption,” Wendt said. “Changes done in short small steps would create small disruption.” A small disruption is easier to adapt to rather than a one-size-fits-approach that could turn the university upside down, decline enrollment and drive faculty members away from the

university, Wendt said. “If everything changes, and faculty don’t know how things work it will take years for this change to become normalized,” Wendt said. “The most important word for change would be a wise change.” Wendt suggested to work with groups that are willing to restructure themselves, see if the models work and expand the change to other parts of the campus.

Gaia House provides overnight shelters to homeless during subzero temperatures AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeilaBlakely

For two years, James ‘California’ Hayes has been sleeping rough on the streets of Carbondale. “I used to be somebody,” Hayes said. Originally from Monterey County, California, Hayes found himself in Anna two years as a stranded commercial truck driver when he became homeless. Before being homeless, Hayes said he was a police officer in Salinas, California and assisted homeless in finding shelter and give them money to buy food. With plummeting temperatures in Carbondale and no place to call home, Hayes said he has been struggling to cope with the freeze. Hayes has been seeking shelter in the Gaia house since Jan. 1 to escape from the temperatures. Hayes leaves the Gaia house during the day and walks his way around the icy streets of Carbondale to find warm shelter, frequently using Burger King as a warm refuge. “Everything in my cart froze,” Hayes said. “I was trying to save as much as could to get where I wanna be.” Hayes said he dislikes Carbondale and wants to be in Los Angeles. Since Jan. 1 the Gaia house has served the Carbondale community as a warm place to sleep for the homeless during subzero temperature days and nights. Fern Chappell, a board member of the Gaia house, said the interfaith center is the only warming station for those in need in the region and is open from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. She said the center is open for everyone, and cash, supplies, or time donations would be greatly appreciated.

Mary Newman | @MaryNewmanDE Shopping carts filled with personal belongings Saturday outside the Gaia House Interfaith Center in Carbondale. Gaia House is serving as an emergency warming station for the homeless this winter.

This upcoming week southern Illinois is expecting more freezing temperatures, not reaching higher than 30 degrees. In the past, temperatures during the week of Jan. 7 have reached up to 64 degrees but have also dropped to 16 degrees, according to Weather Underground, a commercial internet weather service. Everett Keeter, a volunteer for the Gaia house, said for the past week it has been closed because

of a lack of funding and warming temperatures, but reopened on Jan. 12. “We’ll keep doing it till it warms up,” Keeter said. “It’s too cold to be out there at night.” Keeter has been one of the few volunteers for the Gaia house who has been assisting those in need of a warm place to sleep. He said the center has called around the community looking for volunteers, but the search has been unsuccessful.

Keeter said he was unsure why people have been so reluctant to help but believed a reason may be because people fear the homeless. “The reason I do, is because I’ve been there,” Keeter said. Keeter was homeless in Atlanta for approximately eight to nine months. Then he joined Atlanta Union Missions, a nonprofit christian ministry service that had a sobriety program.

“I got clean, stayed sober, and I got a job with the city of Atlanta at the housing authority,” Keeter said. The Gaia house serves from two to six people every night when they are open and is appealing for any volunteers who are able to help.

Tips for having a stellar second semester instead of just surviving it JEREMY BROWN | Daily Egyptian

Spring semester can be a complete disaster for those who’ve gotten too lax over winter break. Grades drop. Couples break up. Roommates don’t clean up. However, it doesn’t have to be a harder semester. For those dreading the coming weeks, this guide will help you survive to see summer’s light. Resident Assistants are a reliable source of help for those living in the dorms — you can even ask them for money. They’ll say no, but it’s still your right to ask. Joshua Chavez, is a senior at the university studying Criminology and Criminal Justice from Rockford. As a student who has lived all four years in the dorms, he said he believes spring semester goes at a much different pace than the fall semester. “Spring semester has a lot of long

periods,” Chavez said. “We really only have one real break, with spring break.” Fall semester graces us with more frequent and shorter breaks including Labor Day, fall break and Thanksgiving break. Chavez said, “Spring semester tends to just fly by. People will get caught off-guard more often.” This comes from the overconfidence that carries over from completing one semester, Chavez said. Since students have done this before, they think they can breeze through it. What many people don’t think about is their general classes are out of the way and now it’s time for more challenging major-specific classes. “Last year I finished my basic core for my major, but then I had to complete my 400 level courses,” Chavez said. “I thought to myself

‘Oh, this won’t be much different,’ but they hit me like a truck.” It’s important to know when to destress from classes and learn how to balance your time despite the hectic mess during a typical semester. “Have a place where you can just sit, be alone,” Chavez said. “At least once a week, you should give yourself five minutes. Turn off your phone, turn off everything, and just sit. Nowadays we’re always going, we never get a chance to pause and reset.” Michael Page, a senior studying cinema and photography from Chatham, said the best thing you can do for yourself is eliminate the surprise of homework. “Whatever time you plan to wake up, wake up 30 minutes earlier and do homework,” Page said. “Just doing that will rid you off ‘Oh my gosh that’s due tomorrow’ worry. Steal

those 30 minutes from your sleep.” Instead of taking your phone to bed, Page said to buy an alarm clock and put it on the other side of the room, which forces you to start the day. One thing to remember when staying motivated through second semester is the investment that college is. Every single second you spend in college is just preparation for the discipline and demands of the real world. Life doesn't get easier after college. Higher education is meant to expand one’s comfort zones and encourage knowledge growth. Carbondale weather plays a huge part in spring semester difficulty. From icy sidewalks to dark nights, motivation levels to get out of bed for that 8 a.m. are pretty low. Be aware and check the constant

weather changes, so you don’t end up soaked with sweat in February, or frozen like an icicle in April. Finally, don’t forget the basics. Pack an extra pencil, always charge your phone at night and check the weather before wearing a jacket outside. Additionally, make sure you order the right books for your classes and don’t wait until the last minute, make yourself known to your professors, and stop trusting D2L to save all responses at the end of a quiz. What it really boils down to is that you’ve succeeded once before, and you can do it again. Just make sure you can walk before you sprint, especially if you’re late for class.

Column: Spring 2018, A defining point in SIUC history

Daily Egyptian file photo

To all returning students, staff and faculty: Welcome back! I hope y’all had some time to gather your bearings over break and prepare yourself for the new semester. The fall semester was certainly an interesting one, and I don't expect that to change this spring. This week’s column will serve as a recap of the defining element of the unprecedented attempt by Chancellor Montemagno’s to completely reorganize the structure of Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Last fall, Montemagno unveiled a grand scheme to dissolve every single academic department on campus, nix the important position of “department chair” and consolidate the now exdepartments into "schools". The original reasons offered by the chancellor’s office for the restructuring were savings on administrative costs, boosting enrollment and promoting “synergy” on campus. However, it seemed a little disingenuous to some for the top-paid campus administrator to be publicly

lamenting over administrative expenses. Montemango makes $340,000 a year as chancellor. Further, the administration has provided zero evidence whatsoever that eliminating all academic departments will increase enrollment and retention at the university. And finally, dissolving departments and lumping their remnants into various schools is certainly not the only way to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. While a lot of academics keep to themselves and their research, from what I have gathered most are stoked about cross-disciplinary academic initiatives and would value a campus that facilitates such collaborations. However, the creation of and investment in existing centers, research projects and clubs would arguably do much more to facilitate synergy then simply eliminating departments and expecting the rest to follow. With unsatisfactory explanations like these, one might be wondering why getting rid of a departmental structure is even necessary. Some have even explicitly said they could tolerate the proposed schoolbased structure as long as they can just keep the word “department” in their academic programs for networking, recruitment and aesthetic purposes. But last December, the chancellor’s office revealed they would not allow academic programs to call themselves departments post-restructuring. What is the reason for the administration’s insistence upon eliminating departments? The answer is quite simple, really. By eliminating every single department on campus, the Chancellor can juke around

contractual obligations outlined in the faculty union’s contract with the SIU Board of Trustees — contractual obligations that are specifically written for a departmental structure. In other words, the wholesale eradication of the word “department” across the campus allows the administration to restructure our school in virtually whatever fashion they please. Additionally, eliminating the word department diminishes departmental self-determinacy. As it stands, individual departments have control over their own “operating papers.” Which is academic jargon for all departmental matters pertaining to budgeting, new hires and control of tenure and curriculum (ie. everything important). Decision-making power over these matters will be taken away from individual academic programs and be awarded to the schools in which they are housed. This is where some of the worry comes in. Small programs will no longer have final say in the aforementioned matters because instead of being decided on by the individual departments operating papers — which exclusively pertain to a specific program — would now be voted on by the larger school, which is composed of several to many programs. The proposed School of Biological Sciences, for example, would house 10 different degree programs that now vote on each other’s affairs. In the nearly 40 letters that I have received on this matter from

students, faculty, alumni and others, most are against the restructuring. Yes, a significant number are in favor of it. But most of those go something along the lines of “we need to do something,” “we hired Montemagno, so let him do his job,” or “change is necessary for the survival of SIU.” However, shooting yourself in the foot is a type of change. The proposed restructuring would disempower departments and further centralize power at SIU. We all agree that this country desperately needs a fresh take on higher education. But academically speaking, this reorganization makes no sense. The whole matter is very complicated along legal and contractual lines. But as is now best understood, most of the restructuring will be formally dealt with in a piecemeal fashion, and everything will have to be approved of by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. If the unions and voting bodies on campus continue to vote against it, the administration must then

make the case to the IBHE about why these campus constituencies are wrong about the merits of the chancellor’s reorganization and attempt to sway the IBHE into approving the changes. The chancellor’s office is, on their own terms, trying to move SIU into uncharted waters. All in all, a lot is up in the air and even more is up for grabs. The administration knows it, the unions know it and now you know it too. Stay informed about developments in the proposed restructuring and involve yourself with it in any way that you find appropriate. This semester will define the fate of Southern Illinois University, and hence the entire city of Carbondale. By whom will the future be written? Student Trustee Sam Beard can be reached at samuelrobert@siu.edu or by phone at (618) 453-8418. His office is located in the Registered Student Organization Suite on the third floor of the Student Center and his office hours will be posted next week.

SIU Athletics found non-compliant with Title IX regulations, will add D1 women’s soccer program BRIAN MUÑOZ | @BRIANMMUNOZ

The university does not offer as many opportunities to women athletes as it does to men, an internal review of SIU Athletics found last year. The university has agreed to a resolution with the U.S. Office of Civil rights to add a women's soccer team, according to documents obtained by the Daily Egyptian. University officials submitted a proposal to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights on

Nov. 10, 2017, committing to create a women’s soccer team to become compliant with federal Title IX laws. The team will begin competing in Division 1 in 2020 after playing as a club for a year. The agreement, drafted by the SIU Board of Trustees and signed into effect by Chancellor Carlo Montemagno on Jan. 5, outlines steps the university will take to create the new women’s soccer program and upgrade athletics facilities to a Division 1 caliber. The agreement states the "university

acknowledges as part of the agreement that there are a sufficient number of female students and admitted students at the university with the interest and ability to support the addition of an intercollegiate women's soccer team." Though athletics spokesman Tom Weber said on Tuesday morning the university had not decided to add a women's soccer team, SIU Athletics announced the addition of the team on its website later that day. The announcement came hours after the Daily Egyptian published

the story stating the university was starting a women's soccer ream. It is estimated the soccer team will cost between $650,000 and $700,000 a year according to memo written by President Randy Dunn obtained by the Daily Egyptian. Weber said the women's soccer program will have an annual budget of approximately $400,000 annual budget, compared to the $600,000 spent on the two tennis programs their final year. An additional $100,000 is

anticipated to cover one-time facility enhancements and equipment purchases, athletics announced in its press release. In Dunn's memo, he also reported the athletics department is operating with an approximate $4 million annual deficit. “In the last three years we have done over two million dollars in cost cutting,” Weber said. “In the last fiscal year our expenditures were down more than $700,000. A lot of our revenue is tied to student fees, so as our enrollment drops that significantly affects us.”


Wednesday, January 17, 2018 Dunn also said in the memo that Athletic Director Tommy Bell has wanted to start a women’s soccer team since he became SIU’s director of athletics in 2015. "Interest in soccer is at an all-time high, and our University had the foresight to build a dual-purpose facility for the eventual arrival of soccer on our campus," Tommy Bell said in Tuesday's press release. "The addition of soccer at SIU is a natural fit for our region and is consistent with our University's goal of creating a vibrant student experience." “In the end, I am hopeful this did not become a backdoor way to implement a new and more expensive sport without making the case in regular fashion to drop one and start another,” Dunn said in the memo. Dunn also said in the memo, had the university kept women’s tennis, it would have cost about $350,000 a year. He said the new women's soccer team, which will play club competition in 2018-2019 and Division 1 the following year, would help attract students to the university. The addition of a women’s soccer team will lead to the hiring of a head coach, assistant coach and support staff. The team will begin practice and play in the 2018-2019 academic year, according to the agreement between the university and the Office of Civil Rights. In the agreement the university did not admit non-compliance or any wrongdoing. An internal Title IX assessment summary conducted in 2016 and updated in 2017 by Helen Grant Consulting outlines the university’s noncompliance findings. Title IX, a federal law that is part of the United States Education Amendments of 1972, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Title IX compliance is determined by a three-part test in which the consultant found SIU failed to comply with two parts.

Page 11

The report stated SIU failed to comply with part one and two of Title IX, with the third unable to be determined. The report reads as follows: SIU does not meet Test 1 requirements. There was a 7.0 percent difference between the participation rates between male and female student athletes and the enrollment rates of male and female students for the 2015-2016 academic year. The difference is significant and represents approximately 65 participation opportunities. Currently, SIU does not meet Test 2 (history and continuing practice of program expansion) requirements because it has been twenty-six years since the last sport for women was added (swimming/ diving in 1989-90). It cannot be determined that SIU meets the third test because there are indicators of interest (i.e., club & high school participation and competitive region competition) for bowling, equestrian, lacrosse,

soccer and rugby. Additionally, since beach volleyball has become an NCAA Emerging Sport for Women it has grown significantly and is being considered by most NCAA Division 1 institutions. It is difficult to comply with Title IX requirements for Test 3 in general and probably not possible for SIU simply because of not sponsoring women's soccer. Women's soccer is a major intercollegiate sport for women, and is played by over 750 high schools in the state, and is sponsored by seven other schools in the MVC. However, if SIU chooses to adjust the sports it sponsors and proportionally (Test 1) compliance is obtained, Test 3 compliance will be moot. The men’s and women’s tennis teams were cut by the university in January 2017 to save $660,000 while the state was without a budget. Former tennis coach Judy Auld and former SIU tennis athlete Molly Beckmann filed a complaint to the

Office of Civil Rights on March 29, 2017, alleging Title IX violations after the men’s and women’s tennis teams were eliminated. “I was pretty devastated,” Auld said. “I did not feel that [eliminating the team] was justified. I felt like other things could have happened if we would have thought [a little bit] out of the box.” Auld and alumni of the tennis program attempted to raise money to save the teams. However she said there was not enough time, which prompted her to pursue the Freedom of Information Act to inquire about SIU’s Title IX compliance. “Once we saw that they were not in compliance with Title IX, we had to file the complaint and Molly Card Beckmann that played in the early ‘90s was also on the complaint,” Auld said. “In dropping the sports we were going to be more out of compliance and somewhere it has to stop; that’s the purpose of Title IX.” Auld said she didn’t expect the

tennis team to be reinstated and that she was disappointed but not surprised about the agreement creating the soccer team, expressing concern that the addition will be costly to the university. “I don’t know how they’re going to handle this to where it can be a good competitive Division 1 program,” she said.

Three-part test determining title IX compliance

Test 1

“Whether intercollegiate level participation opportunities for male and female students are provided in numbers substantially proportionate to their respective enrollments.”

Test 2

“Where the members of one sex have been and are underrepresented among intercollegiate athletes, whether the institution can show a history and continuing practice of program expansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developing interest and abilities of the members of that sex.”

Test 3

“Where the members of one sex are underrepresented among intercollegiate athletes, and the institution cannot show a continuing practice of program expansion such as that cited above, whether it can be demonstrated that the interests and abilities of the members of that sex have been fully and effectively accommodated by the present program.” Reagan Gavin | @RGavin_DE

SIU Cheerleaders honored at MLK Breakfast “We are going to keep doing what we believe in, taking a stand for what we believe in, and nobody can ever change that.” - Czarina Tinker sophomore

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz SIU cheerleaders Ariahn Hunt, Alasyia Brandy, both of Chicago, and Czarina Tinker, of Nashville, Tennessee, speak in front of a packed crowd Monday during the Carbondale NAACP Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in the SIU Student Center. The girls were recognized for their willingness to protest police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem at sporting events.

JEREMY BROWN | DAILY EGYPTIAN

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Carbondale honored three SIU cheerleaders at the 36th Annual MLK Breakfast. At the breakfast three sophomore cheerleaders Ariahn Hunt, Alaysia Brandy and Czarina Tinker were recognized for kneeling during the national anthem at the athletic events in order to protest against racial oppression.

Kneeling during the anthem became a common practice at American athletic events when San Francisco 49’ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled in protest to racial oppression in 2016. When accepting the certificate, the cheerleaders thanked everyone for their support. Dr. Linda Flowers, NAACP Carbondale Branch president, said “They are college students whose courage transcends cheerleading. They have risked their safety, dare

I say their cheerleading careers, to protest violence and injustices to African Americans.” Flowers said the cheerleaders’ courageous actions are strong examples for older Americans to follow in standing up against racial oppression. “I’m just so proud that our hard work finally paid off,” Hunt said. “For something that was meant for all of these people in this community and our town. As long as we are cheering we are kneeling.” Brandy described the feeling of

this special day of one of our greatest heroes of America. “As always, we do it for the people,” Tinker said. “We are going to keep doing what we believe in, taking a stand for what we believe in, and nobody can ever change that.” After supporting the cheerleaders’ right to protest in October, Chancellor Carlo Montemagno was not present during the event. Vice Chancellor Lori Stettler said that Montemagno was currently on a fundraising campaign with university alumni for the SIU Foundation. Stettler was supportive for the cheerleader’s right to protest. “The three young ladies were recognized for their courage in standing up for what they believe in,” Stettler said. “That is foundational to everything we believe in as a society and as an institution.” The university has made improvements, Stettler said, in certain areas of its inclusiveness. The campus is a small representation of the divide in the country’s society that still has work to be done in terms of equality and equity across the university.

being honored at the event as an “out-of-body” experience. “It’s been hard for all of us,” Hunt said. “It wouldn’t have been the same without the support from the SIU campus and the community around here.” Agreeing with Hunt, Brandy said that especially with the negative pushback the three cheerleaders received, the community’s support means the world to them. Hunt said she was really honored Staff writer Jeremy Brown can be to be in front of all these people on reached at jbrown@dailyegyptian.com.

With Ozuna, is Cardinals’ outfield among the best in baseball? TODD EACHMAN Belleville News-Democrat

Tommy Pham's excitement about a December trade with the Miami Marlins was rooted less in what Marcell Ozuna can do for the Cardinals than what he can no longer do to them. In seven games against the Cardinals, Ozuna hit .357 with three home runs and 10 RBIs. His .750 slugging percentage against St. Louis was the highest against any National League team. "I was pumped because, you know, he killed us this past season," Pham said Sunday at the Cardinals WinterUp. "He hit all of our pitchers and he used the whole field from right field down to the left-field line. And you see he won a Gold Glove, so you see he's a guy that can impact the game, not only offensively, but defensively." Ozuna said he's also "pumped" by his trade to an organization with a history of success and a city that more than doubles the average attendance for a home game than the one from which he came. "I feel very happy. The first thing when I heard they were going to trade me to the Oakland A's, I said ... 'Wow, God please leave me over here," Ozuna said through a heavy Latin accent. "Then I heard they traded me to the Cardinals and I said 'OK, thanks.'" Whatever else the Cardinals do

— if anything — in their offseason improvement plan, the outfield is the one thing that's chiseled in stone. Only Dexter Fowler, the prize of the Cardinals offseason in 2017, returns to the mix, though he'll be shifting over from center field to right. Ozuna will be in left as the other bookend to Pham. Some already are calling it one of the best outfields in baseball, an assessment Pham agrees with, "but it's one thing to say it," he added, "you have to go out there and do it." Ozuna's addition bolsters both the Cardinals' offense and defense. Last season with Miami, the 27-year-old outfielder batted .312 with 37 home runs and 124 RBIs. He had a .376 on-base percentage, a .548 slugging average and an OPS of .924. All were career bests. His Gold Glove Award was his first. The Cardinals acquired him in exchange for minor league outfielder Magneuris Sierra and pitching prospects Sandy Alcantara, Zac Gallen and Daniel Castano. Ozuna changes the makeup of the entire lineup, said Cardinals President Of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak. "I think the most interesting internal debates we've had is when you look at our position players. You can look around and you can name them by name. They're all good, but we needed great," Mozeliak said.

"Ultimately, that's what we were trying to focus on ... We were able to do that with Ozuna and we think with that addition he's going to pull some people up with him." Ozuna says he's visited on social media with some of his new teammates, including longtime friends Yadier Molina and Carlos Martinez, who have long teased him about bringing his skills to St. Louis. He feels no added pressure by being the big bat to the middle of the lineup. "There's no pressure. Just play the game, enjoy the game and have fun," Ozuna said. "If you have fun and your family is OK, you're going to play well ... Being in the lineup is my best part. Hitting eighth or leadoff, it's being in the lineup that's important to me. Playing every day makes me feel happy." Pham, 29, had a breakout season in 2017, batting .306 with a .411 onbase, .931 OPS, 23 home runs and 71 RBIs. He not only expects to repeat that level of performance — acknowledging that some do not share his expectations — he believes he can improve. "Personally, I think I'm a 30-30 player. I probably would have got it if I was up all year," he said. Between Memphis and St. Louis, Pham came close with 31 bases and 27 home runs in 153 total games. He says he's comfortable with the

shift to center field after playing left last year. "I came up as a center fielder. Playing the corners is new to me," he said. "Prior to last year, I probably only had like 50 games max in left field. I'm very familiar with center field."

Fowler is entering the second year of a five-year contract worth $82.5 million. At .264, he hit close to his career average, but gave the Cardinals better power numbers than they anticipated with 18 home runs and a career-best .488 slugging percentage.

What you missed in Saluki basketball NATHAN DODD | @NathanMDodd

After final exams ended and students departed SIU for Christmas break, the Saluki men and women’s basketball teams remained in action. The culmination of the fall semester marked the initiation of the Missouri Valley Conference schedule for the Saluki aquads. Each team experienced its own unique compilation of dramatics victories, tough losses, setbacks, flourishing talent and injuries that landed the Salukis where they are now. Saluki women’s basketball Days after the semester concluded, coach Cindy Stein’s 5-4 team made a lengthy trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Southern suffered two losses in the Puerto Rico Classic to the University at Albany and the University of Miami. In the loss to UAB, sophomore guard Nicole Martin posted a career-high 20 points. In the following game against Miami, Martin tallied another 14 points. As losers of three consecutive games, Stein’s squad trended in the wrong direction as the conference schedule approached. The Salukis headed to MVC play with a record of 4-7. Southern looked like a rejuvenated team following a nine-day span without competition. In the MVC opener, the Salukis posted a 74-62 win against the Evansville Purple Aces. Against the Purple Aces, freshman forward Abby Brockmeyer finished with 27 points and 14 rebounds — both career-highs. Two days later, Brockmeyer carried the Salukis to victory against Indiana State. In the 64-45 triumph, she registered 16 points, eight rebounds and a career-best four blocks. Brockmeyer’s strong performances earned her recognition as MVC Player and Newcomer of the Week. She became

the fifth player in MVC history and first in SIU history to sweep both honors in the same week. The Salukis returned home for their first game at SIU Arena in nearly a month for a matchup with the Northern Iowa Panthers. Southern secured a victory in overtime against the Panthers due in part to freshman guard Makenzie Silvey’s career-

high 17 points. “Makenzie is fearless,” Stein said. “She could miss ten shots in a row and she will still believe that she’s going to make the next one. And she usually does.” SIU’s 3-0 start in the MVC was snapped by Drake two days later. In the 11-point loss to the first-place Bulldogs, Silvey and senior guard Kylie Giebelhausen each compiled 13 points.


Wednesday, January 17, 2018 “I'm disappointed, but I'm also extremely encouraged," Stein said following the loss to Drake. “This is a great game to have this time of year as it shows us what we need to do better. That's what I'm encouraged about." The Salukis responded well in their next matchup at Bradley as Martin knocked down two clutch free throws that gave the Salukis the lead with six seconds remaining. However, the Salukis were not as fortunate in Sunday's game at Illinois State. After it led the entire game, Southern surrendered its lead with just under four minutes left to play. The Redbirds held strong and sealed their victory. Returning students will be able to see the Saluki women in action at SIU Arena on Jan. 19 in a matchup against Loyola. Saluki men’s basketball Eleven days after junior guard Marcus Bartley returned from a wrist injury, the Salukis appeared to be near fully healthy with word that senior forward Thik Bol was near returning. On Dec. 17, the Salukis took down the Lamar Cardinals, 71-61 behind 21 points and five assists from junior guard Sean Lloyd. “We came in tuned in,” Lloyd said. “The outcome was a ten point win.” Against the Cardinals, SIU took a blow as junior guard Eric McGill injured his hand. Southern later found out that McGill would miss the rest of the season. Two nights later, on Military Appreciation Night, the Salukis gave the home crowd a show with a 102-64 win over North Carolina A&T. In the win, six Salukis — Lloyd, junior guard Armon Fletcher, junior center Kavion Pippen, sophomore guard Aaron Cook, senior forward Jonathan Wiley and senior guard Tyler Smithpeters — scored in double figures. "We have got a group of young men who can score the basketball and when we share it like that, we have a chance to be special," coach Barry Hinson said following the victory. Hinson’s squad then traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada for a matchup with the Nevada Wolfpack and ex-Saluki Jordan Caroline. Behind Caroline’s 13 points and seven rebounds, the Wolfpack dismantled the

Salukis, 86-64. In the second game of the Las Vegas Classic, Lloyd tallied 19 points, along with 12 points each from Cook and Fletcher, that earned Southern a 74-64 win over Duquesne. SIU then traveled to Northern Iowa for its first MVC matchup of the season. Pippen’s 14 points and five rebounds led the Salukis to their first victory at UNI in 14 years. After they pulled off the upset at UNI, the Salukis returned home and fell victim to the Drake Bulldogs. SIU competed in the game without junior forward Rudy Stradnieks who battled the flu. To make matters worse following the 70-67 loss to Drake, Hinson confirmed that Bol — who dressed and participated in pre-game warmups — would miss the remainder of the season. Bol joined McGill and Wiley as members of the team that fell victim to season-ending injuries. “I’m extremely disappointed in what this team is having to go through,” Hinson said. “This team can’t take much more adversity.” Later that week, the Salukis came out on top of a dramatic game against the Evansville Purple Aces. Led by Cook's 14 points, SIU overcame a late four-point deficit and defeated Evansville 65-63. The victory was the first time that Southern defeated Evansville at SIU Arena since 2013. “I think the significance of this game was that they had beat us the last four times in this building,” Hinson said following the win. “We found ourselves down at 3:44 and found a way to win it. I couldn’t be any prouder of our group of guys.” Following their dramatic victory, the Salukis dropped their next two games on the road to Valparaiso and Bradley. Southern returned home for a nationally-televised matchup against Illinois State on Jan. 13. The Salukis overcame a 14-point disadvantage in the second half and downed the Redbirds, 74-70. In that game, Fletcher tallied 26 points, four rebounds and three steals. Lloyd and Pippen contributed 14 and

Column: Dawg talk with Dodd Where in the world is Austin Weiher? NATHAN DODD | @NathanMDodd

On basketball rosters, role players rarely see the floor or move from their secured spot on the end of the bench. In many situations that player is a redshirt, a developmental project or just a last resort option for desperate game situations. That is the case for teams that carry a maximum capacity roster. The SIU men's basketball team does not have that flexibility and have not for virtually the entire season. Yet, junior forward Austin Weiher continues to warm his cushioned, maroon seat at the end of coach Barry Hinson's bench. The 2017-18 season got off to a rocky start for Hinson's squad as Weiher was limited due to an offseason surgery that removed bone spurs from his foot. Shortly after, junior guard Marcus Bartley broke his wrist. Bartley's injury kept him out of action until Dec. 6. The injuries piled up for the Salukis as the team received word that senior forward Thik Bol would be out for the season with a knee injury. Since Bol was reported to be near a return, the news came as a shock to Southern. Season-ending injuries then struck junior guard Eric McGill and senior forward Jonathan Wiley. While injuries are commonplace in athletics, the trauma that the Salukis

suffered is somewhat out of the ordinary. McGill suffered his hand injury after falling to the hardwood upon driving to the basket in a game against Lamar. Wiley — who suffered a thumb injury earlier in the season — got back to action but then suffered the knee injury that knocked him out for the year. In the blink of an eye, Hinson's squad was down to nine active players. However, there are instances where only eight Salukis got playing time. Weiher was the lone Saluki that remained seated for the majority of competition. Even behind redshirt freshman Brendan Gooch. As an upperclassman on scholarship, I'm sure Weiher feels disappointed about being the guy that does not get to take his warmup top off until he gets in the locker room after the final buzzer. While not the most skilled player on the roster, Weiher contributed significant minutes in the 2015-16 season. As a redshirt freshman, he played in 31 games, averaged 10.7 minutes per game and posted a 51.3 fieldgoal percentage. Of any Saluki who attempted at least 13 shots in the season, Weiher's field-goal percentage ranked second on the team. As a sophomore, Weiher was reduced to only 7.8 minutes per game. In 24 games, he shot 43.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from 3-point range.

Weiher alone is not going provide the spark that the teetering Salukis need. He will not be a go-to option on offense or a star player. However, he will provide depth to a seemingly desperate Salukis squad.

Brian Munoz | @BrianMMunoz Junior forward Austin Weiher, junior forward Rudy Stradnieks and junior guard Marcus Bartley react after a basket is scored Saturday during the Salukis' 74-70 win against the Illinois State Redbirds at SIU Arena.

This season, the junior's role diminished even further. Perhaps Weiher is still recovering from his offseason surgery. Maybe Hinson is saving him as a last resort in case one of the rotation's regulars goes down with an injury of his own. In my opinion, since Weiher's minute totals have decreased each season, he simply is not being viewed as an asset to the team. In 10 games this season, Weiher failed to see game action. In the nine games Weiher played, he only

averaged 3.5 minutes. In two of SIU' last three conference games, Hinson only used an eight-player rotation and left Weiher on the bench. Now in Missouri Valley Conference play, the Salukis are 3-3 and have yet to play some of the conference's top teams. In a perfect world, Weiher contributes valuable minutes, provides a few points off the bench and gives decent stretches of defensive effort. Weiher alone is not going provide

the spark that the teetering Salukis need. He will not be a go-to option on offense or a star player. However, he will provide depth to a seemingly desperate Salukis squad. In the past, Weiher proved that he has a solid mid-range and 3-point shot. Most importantly, he is a fresh set of legs that gives Hinson options in physical conference matchups.
