Resolutions are ripe at the Rec Austin Miller

N athaN h oefert • D aily e gyptiaN Zoe Yeshayahu, left, a senior from Carbondale High School, listens to her personal trainer, Mike Fiala, a junior from Chicago studying information systems technology, in the Personal Fitness & Wellness Studio at the Recreation Center. Fiala said he has already had people drop sessions they started this semester.

The calendar changing leads many people to want to change their lives.

Forty-five percent of Americans make New Year’s resolutions each year, according to a poll by the University of Scranton.

A separate poll conducted by Marist College found healthrelated goals make up 38 percent of resolutions.

Troy Vaughn, director of the Recreation Center, said the first few months are the busiest of the year.

Whether it is because of resolutions, intramural sports or the desire to get a beach body for Spring Break, the Recreation Center is full of students and members.

Three-thousand people visit the Recreation Center every day, and staff is stationed accordingly to those numbers.

More than 200,000 people came through the doors of the Recreation Center during January, February and March in 2014, including 718 new members.

With all of the new bodies in the facility, Vaughn said he hopes the staff can keep those people coming back.

The more than 60 group fitness sessions, including yoga, Zumba and cycling classes, are free for all visitors from Tuesday to Jan. 30.

Design student wins top-five honor Jessica Brown

@BrownJessicaJ | Daily Egyptian

An SIU student was named one of the top-five finalists for a national interior design competition, which included about 800 college students.

Sara Diesburg, a senior studying interior design from Paxton, was named a finalist for the competition, called NEXT, on Dec. 11.

The contest is sponsored by Steelcase Education—an organization that helps schools create new learning environments that cater to students’ and educators’ needs.

Diesburg had to create interesting design aspects of a fictitious college campus.

“For the project we had to design four different classrooms, a faculty lounge and a cafe area,” she said.

This project explores how spaces can better support learning and improve student outcomes. Most education spaces are inadequate learning environments, according to Steelcase’s website.

NEXT was Diesburg’s first time participating in a design competition.

“My professor for interior

design studio pointed us towards it,” she said. “Our whole studio did the projects together, then the professor picked two of us to enter into the competition.”

Her class then had about a month and a half to complete its designs.

“It was an opportunity to take on a challenge that wasn’t set up by the professors,” Diesburg said.

“It was interesting to see what professional people out in the real world can put together for students, and to understand what they want to see.”

Jason Davis, assistant director of fitness and wellness, said there are normally 10 to 50 people in the classes, but those numbers double during the preview weeks.

“Try it before you buy it,” Vaughn said. “Whether you’re advanced, a novice or intermediate, there is something for everyone and everyone’s fitness level.”

Zach Serrette, sales manager for Gold’s Gym in Carbondale, said his gym has had 100 new members sign up this month. Gold’s Gym is also giving a free month to people who sign up for a membership.

The national fitness chain also offers the Gold’s Gym Challenge, a 12-week weight loss program that awards $100,000 to top losers around the country. Participants have access to one-on-one training programs, diet plans and seminars to help complete their transformation.

The average participant lost 12 pounds last year.

percent of participants finish the challenge, and half of the people see dramatic results.

With these new people coming into gyms, Davis said some of the regular Recreation Center visitors can get irritated, but many of them know the population will wither after a few months.

“They know every January you’re going to get this influx on new people clogging up the weight room and taking their spots in class, but most of them are pretty familiar with how it works,” he said.

Even though the opening months are the busiest, Vaughn said there is a drop-off in visits near March.

Gold’s Gym experiences a similar drop in activity.

“There’s a big stir for fitness in January,” he said. “It’s much more important to create a sustainable routine than burn out in three months.”

People who leave after a few months are not alone because it appears humans are not good at keeping resolutions. The University of Scranton poll found 71 percent of resolutions are continued after the first two weeks, and 64 percent after one month.

“It saddens me that so many

people say ‘I’m going work out every day,’ then we only see them for two weeks once school gets busy and classes kick in,” Vaughn said. “We hope that students will be cognitive of their own health and wellness, and they can come over and take part.”

Just 8 percent of people complete their resolution, according to the Scranton poll.

Kim Graham, a 30-year-old from Indianapolis, has set the goal of improving her sleeping pattern, so she can feel better and be more motivated to work out.

Graham, who comes to the Recreation Center four to five days a week, is trying to lose a few pounds before her wedding in October.

Davis said most resolutions fail because people set unrealistic and unattainable goals. People turn away because they get too sore or do not see immediate results. It is harder to go from A to Z, than A to B to C and so on, he said.

“Anytime you achieve something, it makes you feel good about yourself,” he said. “You need some little landmarks along the way where you can see results.”

The fictitious college the competitors designed for was set in Norfolk, Va. Norfolk is home to a major U.S. Naval base and because of this, her designs were inspired by colors and symbolism from the Navy.

She brought her design to life by using a 3D computer generated modeling program.

As a top-five finalist, Diesburg flew to Grand Rapids, Mich., on Jan. 11 where Steelcase’s headquarters is located, and stayed in a hotel for three days with the other finalists. During that time, she presented her designs to a panel of five judges and

others who were sponsoring the project.

“It was a little nerveracking,” Diesburg said.

“I was presenting in front of all of these professional people who were potential employers.”

Diesburg was not chosen as the winner but will receive a free desk chair from Steelcase for being a finalist.

The winner of the competition, Emma Montgomery from Kansas State University, was awarded $1,000 and a $1,000 contribution will be made to her school’s design program or a charity of her choice.

Though she did not win, Diesburg said her experience was positive.

“It was really neat to be

with all the people up in Grand Rapids, because I met a lot of professionals,” Diesburg said. “Not only in the design field, but also product designers, researchers… Steelcase is a very research-oriented company, so it’s really interesting.”

Diesburg said NEXT helped widen her perspective on what she would like to do with her degree.

“I really want to go into hospitality design, but after experiencing the educational side of design, it’s interesting to me, too,” she said.

A thin layer of fog fills the banquet hall of Murphysboro’s world famous 17th Street Bar & Grill as the scent of smoked pork and sound of friendly chatter fill the air.

The fourth annual Whole Hog Extravaganza/Brisket Bonanza/BBQ MBA is a three-day event where barbecue

pitmasters from all over the country flock to the Murphysboro restaurant to either prepare their version of a full-grown hog and specialized meat or to learn the ins and outs of barbecue.

“In addition to learning about whole hog cooking, beef ribs, brisket and sausage, we have a barbecue MBA that focuses on various topics and this year’s theme is telling the barbecue’s story,” said

Amy Mills, owner of 17th Street.

Mills is the daughter of world-famous champion pitmaster Mike Mills, founder of 17th Street BBQ and legend in the barbecue world, winning numerous grand world champion awards for both barbecue cooking and sauce.

The Oscars are finally here. While the award show represents what many in the industry consider top tier filmmaking, people always criticize every pick the academy makes. The award show is known for being both a high mark in the industry and for being out of touch. Here is my review of the 2014 nominees.

Actor in a Leading Role: Bradley Cooper in “American Sniper,” Steve Carrell in “Foxcatcher,” Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Imitation Game,” Michael Keaton “Birdman,” Eddie Redmayne in “The Theory of Everything.”

The Actor in a Leading Role award has two glaring holes in its lineup. While both Cooper and Cumberbatch are phenomenal actors, Jake Gyllenhaal from “Nightcrawler” and David Oyelowo from “Selma” inhabit their roles at a deeper level. Cooper and Cumberbatch are the uncommon elements in the race for Actor in a Leading Role because their acting lacks the extreme believability present in the performances of their fellow nominees. Everyone

from Carrell to Redmayne take eccentric and flawed characters, grab their skin and become them. On a more positive note, it is wonderful to see Keaton nominated for his almost biographical role, setting a career high.

Actress in a Leading Role: Marion Cotillard in “Two Days, One Night,” Reese Witherspoon in “Wild,” Julianne Moore in “Still Alice,” Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl,” Felicity Jones in “The Theory of Everything.”

The Actress in a Leading Role category is one of the strongest of 2014’s nominees. While some will argue Jennifer Aniston was robbed of an Oscar for a career high role in “Cake,” everyone here performed just as well. Witherspoon easily takes Aniston’s place, “Wild” being her Magnum Opus. Pike lands “Gone Girl,” its only Oscar nomination, which serves as a bittersweet victory for the film. Her portrayal of the ultimate sociopath, along with David Fincher’s directing and Gillian Flynn’s writing, gives the picture its uneasy tone.

Actor in a Supporting Role: J.K Simmons in “Whiplash,” Edward Norton in “Birdman,” Ethan Hawke in “Boyhood,” Robert Duvall in “The Judge,” Mark Ruffalo in “Foxcatcher.”

Another strong group of nominees, they may even have a better foundation than the category for Actress in a Leading Role. No one was forgotten. Acting students could take each of these actors’ performances and use it as a how-to guide for becoming a top-tier actor. A clear leader in the pack is hard to distinguish.

Everyone involved, excluding Duvall, has never won an Oscar. And while Duvall is a former Oscar winner, his performance comes with an asterisk. “The Judge” is mediocre at best, which could overrule his heartbreaking performance.

Actress in a Supporting Role: Patricia Arquette in “Boyhood,” Emma Stone in “Birdman,” Merly Streep in “Into the Woods,” Keira Knightley in “The Imitation Game,” Laura Dern in “Wild.”

No one wants to anger the Meryl Streep fan club.

The word legendary does not even start to describe her acting prowess. The nomination for her role as Witch in “Into the Woods,” is beyond ridiculous.

The film is a decent movie and her performance was probably the best portion of it, but it was not Oscar worthy. It brings into question whether the academy nominated her for her performance or just for the sake of nominating her. Aside from the Streep problem, every actress brings their own piece to the puzzle. Another great selection.

Just looking at the performing side of the Oscars, the round up appears to be solid. Problems are quite evident throughout, many of the past year’s great actors, actresses or films going unnoticed. Stay tuned the next Oscar review, which will take a look at various nominations for technical film aspects.

Football recruits bring mix of youth and experience Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

The Salukis have to fill 21 roster spots, vacated by players who finished their eligibility after the 2014 season.

SIU has signed two junior college transfer players and at least five high school players for the 2015 season.

Coach Dale Lennon said the points of emphasis for this recruiting class were the running back, linebacker and cornerback positions.

Lennon said he cannot compare the recruits with the current freshman class for compliance reasons.

“You’re always trying to combine the current recruiting class with what you had done the year before,” he said. “If you can get a good mesh, that definitely bodes for a very bright future.”

Recruiting coordinator David Elson said establishing a relationship with the prospects and parents is crucial.

“Having a connection, getting to know them and being a mentor is important,” he said. “You have to show that you want to help them do what they want to do with their lives.”

Andrew McCrea, a cornerback, spent two years at Los Angeles Pierce College in California. In 14 games, McCrea recorded 3 interceptions and 24 tackles. As a sophomore, McCrea was invited to play in the Junior College All-American Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. for the California team.

“We have some good recruits that can come in and play right away,” McCrea said. “We want to win.”

Darius Merriweather, a sophomore inside linebacker, said he and McCrea met through Instagram. After texting, Merriweather gave McCrea’s information to Elson.

Merriweather said McCrea has his head on straight and will use spring camp to potentially earn a starting spot.

“He fits our needs right now, we need guys that can play immediately,” he said. “We’re losing a lot in our defense so we’re going to need guys to fill those roles.”

Nine of the graduated seniors played defense, including cornerbacks Boo Rodgers and Courtney Richmond.

Lennon said McCrea’s experience

could help him fill the vacant spots at cornerback. He said current freshmen Jefferson Vea and Darrius Spivey-Nunn will also be considered for the position.

The other junior college transfer is Aaron Stanton, a running back from Ventura College in California. Stanton rushed for more than 1,500 yards and added 18 touchdowns in two years there. He also had 78 receptions for 662 yards. Stanton also averaged more than 29 yards as a kick returner.

SIU lost last season’s punt and kick returners, LaSteven McKinney and Tay Willis respectively.

“You’re always looking for people who have the skills to be a return man,” Lennon said. “Stanton has those abilities.”

Elson said the freshman class looks good, but it will take time to evaluate the prospects.

High school recruits include Airan Reed, who played free safety for South Gibson County High School in Tennessee. He was named First Team All-Region his sophomore, junior and senior years. He also played in the West

Tennessee All-Star game his senior year.

Reed said he came to SIU for the bond between players and coaches. He also liked the team’s outlook for the future.

“We’re going to try to turn it around,” he said. “One of the recruiting pitches they gave me was the freshman class combined with my class could really make a run in the FCS playoffs.”

SIU also added high school cornerback Julius Washington. At Lake Mary High School in Florida, Washington was named First Team All-Conference his junior year. His school also named him the Defensive Back of the Year his senior year.

Washington said he felt at home at SIU and loved the team camaraderie.

He said determination is his strength on the field.

“I’m a ball hog, every time the ball is in the air, I want to go up and get it,” he said. “My speed helps me get into position to do that.”

For high school offensive recruits, the Salukis added tight end Tyler Mabry, quarterback Tanner Hearn and offensive lineman Graham Lawrence.

Mabry is from IMG Academy in Florida. He said he could tell Carbondale was a football town.

“My goal is to come in and be a factor on the team and be a leader on and off the field,” he said. “I want to take SIU to the playoffs.”

Hearn is from East River High School in Florida. He said getting to know the coaches was pivotal in choosing SIU. “When I took my official visit and went to a camp I really loved the coaches,” he said. “I was able to build a relationship with them… other schools didn’t take the time to get to know me.”

Lawrence is from Trigg County High School in Kentucky. He said SIU was always his top choice and although he had offers from six other schools, he only made an official visit at SIU. “I had SIU on my mind all the time,” he said. “As soon as they offered, I talked with my parents and it felt like the right choice.”

Recruiting will continue throughout the spring.

no exception because of how many spots there are to fill on the swimming team.

There are 52 athletes on the roster.

He said he has to have other coaches help him with the process because he cannot promote the program to everyone at once.

“I get contacted a lot,” Walker said. “If I’m getting too bogged down, then I send my international athletes to one [coach], and then my domestic kids to another [coach].”

Walker said the decision to come to SIU depends on more than the team’s previous success. Last season, the women’s

team finished third in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships, while the men finished fifth in the Mid-American Conference Championships. But the team’s welcoming environment was the main factor in recruiting for some of the top performers on the team in previous years.

“When people come here and it’s everything that we said it would be, and they love it; that’s only going to help more,” Walker said.

Matt Lee from Bartlett committed and will be in the class of 2019. The team traditionally goes hiking with its recruits.

Lee said he and at least five other potential recruits did so in October and got to see some southern Illinois scenery.

“The team made me feel like I was a part of something,” Lee said.

When sophomore swimmer Sarah James made her trip to SIU she also made her decision based on the homey feel. She said her and her teammates try to do the same for new recruits.

“People were coming from their own schedules during the school year,” James said. “It’s hard, but people made time for our recruits.”

Junior swimmer Till Pallmann

said he showed up late to his trip and felt awkward.

“I came to practice and everyone was just staring at me,” Pallmann said.

Despite feeling out of place at the beginning, Pallmann said he left practice feeling like a member of the team. He knew he wanted to be a Saluki swimmer.

Walker said the team is still recruiting for next season and there is never a slow point in the process.

“We want more. We’ve gotten some of our really big needs filled,” Walker said. “But now we can be a little more specific and work the areas that we still need to have.”

It is a decision all college students have made, but student-athletes also have to consider whom they want to spend most of their time with.

The Saluki swimming and diving team regularly has two-a-day practices.

Sixteen recruits made a visit to campus to witness them, and at least two have now committed to SIU. Coach Rick Walker said 16 is a good number for this point in the season.

Walker said the recruiting process is difficult for coaches of any sport, and he is
