Shots fired near Saluki Apartments BILL LUKITSCH AND LUKE NOZICKA DAILY EGYPTIAN
Carbondale Police responded to multiple reports of shots fired at East Cindy Street and South Wall Street about 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Lt. Matt Dunning said. Dunning said no one was injured during the incident. Police have two
suspects in custody but, as of 11 p.m., would not release further information about them. Police were seen taking a person into custody at Saluki Apartments about 9:15 p.m. There was evidence of multiple shots fired on scene, Dunning said. SIU student Cody Gallardo, who lives in the building, said he was in his
Spring enrollment dips from previous year CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE
A decade ago, university enrollment was at more than 20,000. Enrollment has now fallen below 16,000 students. SIU’s enrollment is down from the 2015 spring semester by 878 students, according to a university statement released Tuesday. University officials, interim Chancellor Brad Colwell said, expected the decrease as low spring numbers are a result of low fall numbers. Graduate enrollment dropped nearly 12 percent from the previous spring semester, with 420 students fewer graduate students. “In part, we attribute the additional decline in graduate enrollment to the delayed decision to award graduate assistantships given the uncertainty in the state budget,” the news release said. Many graduate students were on newly-introduced single-semester assistantship contracts and were concerned about renewal of their contracts this spring until Colwell issued a statement on Oct. 26 telling the university to move forward with those renewals. “At the time, it seemed like the fiscally-wise thing to do because we didn’t have any sense of the what the budget was going to be,” University
Spokesperson Rae Goldsmith said, “but it had unintended consequences because it created a lot of uncertainty.” For future semesters, Goldsmith said the university knows it must inform students earlier. “This year we know that we cannot do that again even though we know we’re in exactly the same spot we were in last year,” Goldsmith said. “We can’t leave students hanging like that because they have other choices.” While undergraduate enrollment decreased by nearly 900, enrollment declined at a steady rate from spring 2015, instead of sharply falling all at once. Colwell attributes this to the university’s decision to continue funding Monetary Award Program grants for undergraduates. Because this this academic year’s decline in undergraduate admissions, however, Goldsmith said recruitment is one of Colwell’s top priorities as chancellor. “We’re trying to build additional bridges between the academic units and admissions so that everybody’s rowing in the same direction,” Goldsmith said.

apartment when the shots rang out. “I heard three loud bangs and just chilled till it settled down,” said Gallardo, a junior from Aurora studying psychology. This is the third incident Carbondale police have responded to involving a gunshot since Saturday. At 2:45 p.m. on Monday, Carbondale police officers responded to
a report of a gunshot wound victim at the Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. Police say the victim, who was shot at an unknown location, received medical treatment for “what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries.” At 6 p.m. on Saturday, SIU student Spencer DePue suffered a single gunshot wound to his upper-right shoulder. After he was shot, DePue, a
senior studying management, walked to the 700 block of East Grand Avenue, where he was helped by Pinch Penny Pub staff and transported by ambulance to Carbondale Memorial Hospital. He was later moved to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for treatment. “Actually I feel quite well and in good spirits despite my predicament,” DePue said in an email Sunday.

Skibinski said Carbondale is lucky to have businesses like the Town Square Market. Pellow and Skibinski have known each other for nine years. “Being a small store, it’s really easy to get to know your customers,” Pellow said. Skibinski said the thing she enjoys most about the market is the people.
Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction may shed light on global warming ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre
A furry groundhog woke up Tuesday to a sunny morning which, legend says, signifies an early spring. Every year on Feb. 2 since 1887, a groundhog named Phil in Punxsutawney, Pa., forecasts Abbey La Tour | @AbbeyLaTourDE the coming of spring for the U.S.
@DAILYEGYPTIAN
If he sees his shadow, there will supposedly be six more weeks of winter. However, some experts call this hogwash. Despite predicting the weather for 129 years, Phil has yet to show he’s a reliable weatherman. The accuracy of the rodent’s forecasts are about as accurate as flipping a coin.
However, this American tradition based on a German legend gets people talking about the weather every year. Though he does not have much faith in the animal’s foreshadowing prowess, Nick Hausen, a meteorologist at WSIL TV, agreed spring weather is arriving sooner
than later. But he does not think the winter coats should be put away just yet. “It’s still winter, and I think we still have quite a few cold spells [left],” Hausen said. To read the rest of the story, please see www.dailyegyptian.com

Yepsen weighs in on Iowa caucus
Tribune News Service
BILL LUKITSCH | @BILL_LUKITSCHDE
Donald Trump ate humble pie after losing to Ted Cruz by three points during the Iowa caucus. The race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was so tight, six delegates were decided by coin toss. Mike Huckabee and Martin O’Malley dropped out for good. Election season is in full swing. The Iowa caucus on Monday signified the beginning of the electoral process for presidential nominees. As David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, puts it, the caucus serves two main functions: "elevate candidates and winnow the field." Yepsen was the chief political reporter and columnist for the Des Moines Register before coming to SIU. While it isn't a tell-all for who will grab a party nod in November, candidates who secure delegates early on can build momentum that carries through the race, Yepsen said. One of the more surprising candidates has been Sanders, who
polled favorably among younger Democrats, securing 84 percent of caucus-goers ages 17 to 29. But whether Sanders has the clout to run against a GOP nominee in November is an open-ended question, Yepsen said. Clinton claimed a narrow victory as results from holdout districts came out in the early hours of Tuesday morning. And although she may be at a disadvantage against Sanders during the primary in New Hampshire, Yepsen expects Clinton would fare better against a GOP nominee in "battleground states," such as Nevada, Ohio and North Carolina. Clinton has greater appeal among a broader spectrum of voters, he said, and is likely to secure many of the southern states in coming weeks. Cruz won over evangelical Christians and Republicans who identify as "very conservative," giving him the push to secure his three-point lead — the most comfortable win of any candidate

in this year's Iowa caucus. Trump seemed all but certain he would win Iowa in the days preceding the caucus, and showed uncharacteristic signs of humility when he congratulated Cruz on taking first place. “I think just about everyone in the political community is surprised about how long [Trump has] lasted,” Yepsen said. While Cruz's win is a noted advantage going forward, Yepsen said Marco Rubio shouldn't be counted out yet, either. Rubio finished just behind Trump, and appears to be a candidate the Republican Party "can live with," Yepsen said. “Rubio is starting to be the Republican establishment candidate,” Yepsen said. “I would expect that New Hampshire would help him cement that lead.” Bill Lukitsch can be contacted at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com or 618536-3329.

124 citations issued during Polar Bear weekend
Anna Spoerre | @AnnaSpoerre A police officer watches students as they gather Saturday at a party on South Poplar Street during Polar Bear. Carbondale and Illinois State Police distributed underage drinking tickets and open container tickets throughout the day.
TYLER CROTZER | DAILY EGYPTIAN
While overall citations decreased during this year's Polar Bear weekend, hospital visits at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale went up 50 percent. Carbondale and Illinois State Police issued 116 citations to 97 individuals, 42 of which were identified as SIUC students, during Polar Bear weekend, according to a preliminary report released Tuesday. The two agencies wrote 139 citations during last year's drinking holiday. At least 30 individuals were treated for injuries associated with Polar Bear
activities, Rosslind Rice, Southern Illinois Healthcare communications coordinator, wrote in an email. Patient visits were up 50 percent in the Emergency Department at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale compared to last year, she said. Exact numbers on hospital admissions were not available Tuesday night. Of the 116 citations, six were for assault with a deadly weapon and two each for aggravated battery, unlawful use of weapons and fighting. Carbondale police also cited an individual for aggravated battery of a police officer. Fifty-two people were cited for
underage possession or consumption of alcohol, and 38 were cited for public possession of alcohol. SIU police reported 14 preliminary citations, nine of which were for underage possession or consumption of alcohol, down from 15 in 2015. Four of the nine citations were issued to SIUC students. Combined, Carbondale and SIU police cited three individuals for possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia. Tyler Crotzer can be reached at tcrotzer@dailyegyptian.com or 618536-3325.

Correction: The student mentioned in Monday’s edition of the DAILY EGYPTIAN was not shot near Pinch Penny Pub on Saturday but near the intersection of Cedarview Drive and East Walnut Street – about one mile away.

Women’s golf hopes to continue momentum TED WARD | @TedWard_DE
After a successful fall campaign, SIU women’s golf is gearing up for the transition to spring season. The Salukis finished in the top 10 in every match during the fall and won the University of Illinois-Chicago Invitational on Sept. 19 and Loyola Invitational on Sept. 22. All the winning last season has the team thinking big for when the weather warms. “We need to focus a lot on our putting and chipping and being more confident and believing that we can win,” said Saluki coach Alexis Mihelich. “We have the ability to win the Missouri Valley Conference title, and I’ve had teams come within shots of doing so. I believe that this team could be the one to seal the deal.” Since Mihelich was hired in 2011, the Salukis best finish was third. SIU hasn’t won a conference title since 2007. Mihelich said there are several players to watch for including freshman Sun Jung, who the coach said could contend for MVC Newcomer of the Year. Jung finished in the top 10 in every fall match she played, including a season-best third place tie at the Loyola Invitational. “She’s one of the most improved from
October to now,” Mihelich said. “Her striking is a lot better and she fixed a couple of things that would throw her trajectory off, so she’s a lot more consistent.” Mihelich said she would like to see the same strong, consistent play from her top five, which includes junior Brooke Cusumano and senior Mattie Linder. Cusumano notched a win in the Murray State Invitational on Sept. 15. To get more victories, she said she must improve her mental and short games. “It’s really hard to be positive when you hit the ball into the lake, but sometimes its just not your day,” Cusumano said. “Alice [Ho] and I read devotionals on the bus that have scripture, plus a thought of the day that I’ll write it down and put it in my pocket so it’s always there.” Mihelich said Lindner, who won the Saluki Invitational last season, could also have a nice year. Lindner said although being a senior is bittersweet, she will enjoy what she hopes is her best semester before she graduates. She is 10th all-time in lowest career score with a 79.99 average in 74 rounds and had four top-five finishes last season. “Right now, I’m just living in the moment and enjoying what I have,” she

said. “My goal is to go out and play the best golf I can before it’s all over and just enjoy the time I have left.” Lindner said she plans to work within golf after graduation.
The Saluki women begin their season Feb. 12 in Fort Meyers, Fla., at the Eagle Invitational. Ted Ward can be reached at tward@ dailyegyptian.com or 618-534-3303.

How the Salukis can settle the score against Wichita SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE
SIU men’s basketball has the opportunity to avenge its biggest loss of the season Wednesday when the team travels to Charles Koch Arena to take on the No. 21 Wichita State Shockers. Saluki coach Barry Hinson has defeated Shocker coach Gregg Marshall just twice in 11 contests; once as Missouri State’s coach in 2008 and once as SIU’s coach in 2013. A win will give Marshall the most wins in WSU program history and push his team’s win streak to 12 games. The Salukis (18-5, 7-3 Missouri Valley Conference) will likely need to have their best performance of the season to prevent that from happening. Wichita State (16-5, 10-0 MVC) comes into the game averaging a plus-20.3 scoring margin in conference games this season. If the season ended today, that would be the best point differential in the last 20 years of the Missouri Valley Conference. Only one MVC team has lost by fewer than 15 points to Wichita State. Evansville lost by three Jan. 6 in Wichita and lost by
13 on Wednesday in Evansville. The Salukis lost their first matchup with Wichita State by 25 points, in front of a sold-out home crowd. The blowout loss was the 25th sellout in SIU Arena history and the Dawgs’ first conference loss of the season. Wichita State will most likely have a big crowd Wednesday as the Shockers have sold out 41 consecutive home games. “It’s a cool place to play, it’s always sold out,” junior forward Sean O’Brien said. “The communication is harder — you really got to be on point.” After No. 23 Arizona’s loss to No. 16 Oregon last week, Wichita State now owns the longest home winning streak in the country at 42 straight games. “That’s my dream to play in these big arenas,” junior guard Mike Rodriguez said. “I’ve been waiting for that moment.” A capacity crowd of 10,506 would be the largest the Salukis have seen this season; almost 2,000 more than the season-high 8,758 fans they saw Dec. 21 at Saint Louis. The Shocker crowd will hope for a repeat
of the team’s performance the last time it saw SIU. Wichita shot 46.6 percent (27-58) from the floor in its previous game against the Dawgs and got double-digit contributions from three players: senior guard Ron Baker (18 points), sophomore guard Conner Frankamp (14) and freshman forward Markis McDuffie (10). There are two things about this that should concern the Salukis: Baker scored 16 of his points in the first half then sat most of the second half, showing he’s capable of more. Plus, senior guard Fred VanVleet, an Oscar Robertson Award watchlist member, didn’t contribute much to the scoring. His numbers from the last matchup (six points, six assists and 12 rebounds) show he can affect games even when he isn’t getting buckets. VanVleet comes into the contest averaging 13.4 points, 4.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game. When Baker and VanVleet aren’t on the floor, the Shocker bench is dangerous, too. WSU’s bench leads the MVC in points per game, scoring 30.3 points per game. That is
good enough for 13th in Division I. WSU also has a knack for stopping the Salukis and senior guard Anthony Beane in particular. Beane, a career 43.8 percent shooter, has shot just 33.7 percent against the Shockers in eight career matchups. He shot 3-14 from the floor in the Jan. 9 game. The entire SIU team struggled in the last meeting, shooting 37 percent overall (17-46) and 9 percent (1-11) from 3-point range. Rodriguez and Tyler Smithpeters must improve upon their combined 3-point performance against Wichita in January for the Salukis to stand a chance. On the other side of the ball, SIU must step up its defense and not allow so many open looks to the talented Shockers. If SIU does lose, Marshall would pass former Saluki coach Rich Herrin for sixthmost all-time MVC wins at 112. Marshall will have accomplished the feat in nine seasons, while Herrin needed 13.

Five former Salukis drafted for inaugural Major League Football season BRENT MESKE | @brentmeskeDE
Five former Salukis will be involved with Major League Football when it begins its inaugural season this year. SIU’s five draftees leads the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Illinois State had four. The eight-team league was founded in 2014 by Wes Chandler, who played in the NFL from 1978 to 1988. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and coached in the league for six years. Former Saluki linebacker Bryan Presume and defensive tackle/nose guard Kayon Swanson were drafted to former Dallas Cowboys’ head coach Dave Campo’s team in rounds 37 and 40 of the MLFB draft. Presume graduated in 2013 and was a first-team All-MVFC player his senior season. He finished his SIU career with 205 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 34 games. Presume was signed as a free agent by the Atlanta Falcons in 2014, but never played in the NFL.
Swanson attended SIU from 2008 to 2012 and had 136 tackles in 45 career games. He was second-team All-Conference as a junior. Campo coached the Cowboys from 2000 to 2002, finishing with a 15-33 record and the worst winning percentage, .313, in Cowboys’ history. Former Saluki linebackers Stephen Franklin and Dinnus Harding were drafted to Charles Collins’ team, in rounds 59 and 69, respectively. Franklin played with SIU from 2007 to 2010 and finished his career with 174 tackles, 12.5 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks in 50 games and was second-team All-MVFC as a senior. He played in five games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011 and recorded two tackles. Last year he played for the Colorado Crush of the Indoor Football League. Harding played with the Salukis from 2011 to 2014 as a walk-on and finished with 12 tackles in 18
career games. Collins’ coaching career began at Santa Monica Community College where he coached Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Steve Smith in 1997. The duo have combined for 11 Pro Bowl selections, 24,991 yards and 143 touchdowns in the NFL. In round 60, coach Chris Miller drafted former SIU running back Mulku Kalokoh. Kalokoh played with the Salukis in 2011 and 2012, finishing his career with 717 all-purpose yards and one receiving touchdown. He was named the IFL special teams player of the year last season with the Bemidji Axemen and led the league with 991 kick return yards and five kick return touchdowns. Kalokoh finished second in the league with 1,550 allpurpose yards. Miller played quarterback in the NFL from 1987 to 1999 after being selected 13th in the 1987 NFL Draft by the Falcons.
