SIU may be seeing double in Fall 2015.

William and Matthew Galik, 17-year-old Carterville High School seniors, interviewed this past weekend for the Chancellor’s Scholarship at SIU. Being born 16 minutes apart is about the only discrepancy in the list of accomplishments these twins have accumulated.

The Chancellor’s Scholarship is a full ride worth more than $85,000 over the four years of an undergraduate program, and is being awarded to about 25 of 476 finalists. Those not receiving the Chancellor’s Scholarship are still eligible for the University Excellence scholarship, which is full tuition renewable for four years, valued at about $34,000.

Chancellor’s and University Excellence Scholarship Interview Weekend consisted of interviews with some 460 applicants along with campus tours, the opportunity to sit in on classes and an RSO expo.

Rae Goldsmith, university spokeswoman and interview panelist, said the interview, though important, is not the only way candidates are evaluated.

“You’re looking for students who have done their homework about SIU,” Goldsmith said. “We need students who are ambitious and who will bring a lot to campus. We’re looking for bright

students who are capable of being leaders here.”

Matthew, who plans to study physics, and William, who will study mechanical engineering, are strong applicants who agree there is more than one aspect to consider when awarding the scholarship.

“A person with good test scores who’s not involved? I don’t know if a college would want someone like that,” William said. “They want someone who’s well-rounded, who’s good at academics, who can relate to other people, be involved with the community and make a good influence.”

Though test scores are not the only factor considered, the twins certainly have them covered.

Each earned a perfect 36 on his ACT last April– Matthew scored a 36 in each of the four categories, and William had a 36 in each category except science, in which he earned a 35.

“We’ve taken them three times total,” Matthew said of the test.

“When we were in eighth grade, we each took them and got 29’s. In the fall of our junior year I got a 35 and William got a 34, and in April, we took them and we both got 36’s.”

They said they credit their strong test scores to commitment to studies, as well as the cumulative preparation they had received during the three years of high school before taking the test.

“We didn’t really study super

hard before,” Matthew said.

“It’s difficult to cram for the ACTs. You have to be really wellprepared.”

The twins’ academic success is not limited to test scores.

Both have a 4.174 GPA on a weighted scale for all of high school—the highest GPA a Carterville High School student can receive. Matthew said they have taken various advanced placement and honors classes as well.

“We’re really involved in school and academic clubs,” William said. “We’re both co-captains of the rocket club and we’re in astronomy club.”

They are also members of Spanish club, the National Honor Society and the Scholar Bowl.

William and Matthew also are candidates to be Presidential Scholars, too. They are in the process of finishing their essays and applications, which will then be reviewed to determine the victors. If the twins are among the 140 to win, they will get to go to the White House to receive a medal. About 3,900 high school students nationally are nominated for the award each year.

Though academics play a major role in their lives, the twins are also dedicated athletes.

Matthew and William have played basketball since they were young and plan to continue in college.

SIU remembers first black president Saturday marked the ninth anniversary of the death of James Walker, the first black president of SIU, who died Feb. 6, 2006 after a battle with cancer.

Walker led SIU as its fifth president starting in July 2000 after serving as president of Middle Tennessee State University for 10 years. He was also provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of Northern Colorado and began his career in higher education as an assistant professor at SIU-Edwardsville nearly 40 years ago.

Many people who worked under him said his tenure was marked by stability and

success following the presidency of Ted Sanders, who resigned in early 2000.

During Walker’s time as president, the university system received millions of dollars in research grants and donations.

Private donations rose 30 percent during his five and half years and the $40 million renovation of Morris Library as well as the $21 million Cancer Institute in Springfield were a part of his legacy, according to SIU’s news website.

Walker is also known for his commitment to ensuring that SIU and SIU-Edwardsville would remain one system instead of two different entities at a time when separation talks were suggested.

“There’s a good chance that we’ll be going to SIU, so hopefully we could walk onto the basketball team there,” Matthew said. “We are really excited that we have a chance to play in a Division I program.”

They are also considering playing basketball at Washington University in St. Louis and Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington.

When not preoccupied with academics and basketball, the twins can be found working on their music.

William has played guitar for eight years, and Matthew has played piano for 10 years.

“We actually have our own little jazz band,” William said.

The band, known as The Galaxy, includes the twins’ older brother on the drums and a friend as an upright bassist. They write their own songs as well as perform covers.

“Matthew’s a creative genius on the piano, so he makes some pretty awesome songs for us to play,” William said.

They said they want to get to the point where they can do live shows.

“We’ve done a couple outdoor shows; one in Johnston City and one at the Carbondale Community Library,” William said. “We’re hoping to get into a bigger jazz scene and maybe play in some restaurants.”

In addition to playing for The Galaxy, they are also members of their high school’s jazz band.

As a result of their engaged lifestyle, the twins rarely have any free time.

“We get extremely stressed sometimes,” Will said. “With all the scholarships that we’re doing, basketball and music, sometimes we get a little uptight.”

When the stress becomes unmanageable, Will said a break is necessary. “I’ll just watch a movie or something to take my mind off of things, then attack them with a free mind.”

However, the hectic schedule is a part of their lives.

“We’re so used to it,” said Will. “We’re always busy and we never have free time.”

As they grow older and more independent, they depend upon themselves to stay motivated rather than relying on being pushed by others.

“We’re naturally curious people, so we’re always trying to learn and better ourselves,” Will said. “If we take a day off we feel like we cheated ourselves a little bit, so I think that’s what kind of keeps us going.”

If selected, the twins would be part of the Saluki Scholars Program, in which scholars must maintain a 3.0 GPA, complete community service hours and attend events and activities to renew the award each year.

Recipients of the scholarships will be notified by March 7.

Warhol exhibit opens at University Museum Marissa Novel

@MarissaNovelDE | Daily Egyptian

From Campbell’s soup cans to vibrant portraits of icons such as John Lennon and Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol has created some of the most recognizable pieces of modern art in recent years.

Until April 15, his fans and art lovers will not have to travel to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, or the The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh to see his work, but can simply visit the University Museum in Faner Hall.

The exhibit “Celebrity and Scintillation” features nine of Warhol’s original screen prints, which The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts donated to SIU last year.

The exhibit’s curator, Alison Erazmus, said the foundation was created after Warhol unexpectedly died in February 1987.

“The estate had lots of Polaroids, prints and pieces that didn’t really have a home,” she said. “So the foundation has been sending out portions of the estate to various

institutions that can showcase his work for educational purposes.”

Warhol’s will requested his pieces be preserved and distributed for the advancement of underrecognized and experimental visual arts, according to the foundation’s website.

Erazmus said she created a partylike theme for the exhibit after seeing a particular print titled “After the Party,” which features images of wine glasses and dinner plates.

“It kind of shows these remnants, artifacts if you will, of the party and

you can imagine the conversations that took place over these objects,” she said.

The exhibit also features other new screen prints and 25 Polaroid photos taken by Warhol.

“I really liked the idea of honoring celebration,” Erazmus said. “I figured that’s pretty prominent in Andy’s whole body of work.”

Dona Bachman, the museum’s director, said the Polaroids were part of a group of 104 photos and 51 black and white silver gelatin prints donated by the foundation

in 2008.

Johanna Tesfaye, a senior from Champaign studying communication design, said she enjoys Warhol’s work.

“I’ve never seen it in person… so this is pretty cool,” she said.

Tesfaye, who discovered the exhibit’s Friday reception through a friend working at the museum, said she wishes the museum would be marketed more toward students.

“If my friend had not told me about it, I would not have known about this event at all,” she said.

‘Jupiter Ascending’ is a visually stunning mess Jacob Pierce

@jacobpierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

Film directors Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski have an uneven vibe to their careers. Starting off with the game changing “The Matrix,” the brother and sister seemed to have cemented a place in the sciencefiction genre. Their clout quickly diminished with the release of the next films in “The Matrix” series.

Since then, the Wachowskis have directed creative, but disappointing films like “Speed Racer” and “Cloud Atlas.” “Jupiter Ascending” (Rated PG: 13; 127 min)–a science-fiction starring Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne and Sean Bean–is just as creative and messy as their previous films.

Unknown to people of Earth, a race of humanoid beings are harvesting planets for immortality. The rulers of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy are called the House of Abrasax and are fighting over the ownership of Earth.

Soon they realize Earth does not belong to any of them.

Jupiter Jones, played by Kunis, is the true heir to the Earth,

unbeknown to her. The House of Abrasax will stop at nothing to get rid of her so they can claim ownership.

Standing in their way is a genetically engineered former soldier named Caine Wise, played by Tatum. He will make sure the Earth’s true queen lands on her throne.

“Jupiter Ascending” is a film marred with problems. It was originally slated for a June 2014 release, but got pushed back nine months for extra time in the post-production process.

While a film being held is not always a sign of doom, it is also not an indication of success.

The movie deserves some praise.

In an age of sequels, reboots and adaptations, anything original earns some points. The Wachowskis have always been great at creating new productions and techniques. “Jupiter Ascending” imagines a world on its own with a lot of amazing possibilities.

While not creating an entirely new universe like a “Star Wars,” the film takes our already adventurous universe and makes it new and interesting, much like “The Matrix.”

It functions in a way that compels you to wonder what else the cosmos have to offer.

From giant Gundam-like robot suits to unique alien races, everything is visually pleasing combining influences of everything from asian anime to “Star Wars.”

Tatum’s career is having a wonderful couple of years. The actor gained big star power since his role in “Magic Mike,” but now he seems to be showing off his acting potential. Performances in “Foxcatcher” and “22 Jump Street” have proven Tatum is a terrific actor when given the chance.

The loner, space bounty hunter role is hard to make dynamic. Matt LeBlanc in “Lost in Space” is a key example of the archetype being tarnished. Tatum brings pain to Caine Wise. He brings an inability to emote and deep-seated anger. The character has an extensive backstory, but Tatum brings more interesting concepts to the film than the writers do.

“Black Swan” proved Kunis can be great if given the right role. She is also someone who can be very bad with unfit writing and directing. Her role in “Jupiter Ascending” is just another example of her being miscast.

The character of Jupiter Jones should be the audience’s connection

Braden Barton

-junior cinema major • Worked on “Jupiter Ascending” during summer of freshman year • Two jobs while on set, production assistant and location assistant • Filming took place in downtown Chicago • Barton helped set up green screens on set while also making sure the crew had everything they needed • “I was still very young and still learning what it means to be on a film set,” Barton said.

• Barton has taken what he learned on set and put it to use in Movie Camera Milita, a movie-making RSO. • “As a story, it could have been better,” Barton said.

“The way they describe it as a space opera, it was a stylistic art movement.” to the crazy world she is thrown into.

Instead, Jones comes off as annoying and sometimes whiny. She is given no help with dialogue. Her lines are constantly awkward. The role was doomed from the start. Even an actress like Natalie Portman, who dropped out of the film, could not

have saved it.

The film is beyond visually stunning, exemplifying the Wachowskis’ artistic vision in their creations. Where they tend to fail is in storyline and direction. Yet “Jupiter Ascending” is definitely not the worst movie out.

Coach vaults team to new heights Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

Two years ago, SIU’s pole vault coaching position was vacant. Now the Salukis are led by a former four-time national pole vault qualifier.

Brian Porter, in his third year as pole vault coach at the university, has the pole vault program among the best in the Missouri Valley Conference. Both the men’s and women’s teams have four of the top eight athletes in the MVC standings.

Porter had one man and no women in the top eight of the MVC in his first year. Last season, he had one man and two

women in that rank.

Along with strong standings in the MVC this year, Porter has coached six of his female vaulters into the top seven of SIU’s all-time indoor records.

“They are a testament to what they believe in.” he said. “I can’t ask for a better group of kids.”

Freshman Lindsey Murray, who has set the indoor school record in each of her four events, said Porter has helped her improve.

“He picks out little things that I need to work on,” she said.

Dawgs extend win streak as Stein notches 300th career victory Thomas Donley

@tdonleyDE | Daily Egyptian

Just two days after knocking off Drake, the Missouri Valley Conference’s top team, the SIU women’s basketball team kept momentum Sunday.

The Salukis (13-9, 6-5) defeated the Northern Iowa Panthers (12-10, 8-3), 79-75 at SIU Arena.

The win was the 300th of coach Cindy Stein’s career, which includes her victories at the NCAA Division II and NJCAA levels.

The game had the makings of a classic from the start. The teams traded jabs early, resulting in four lead changes in a span of 48 seconds.

Junior center Dyana Pierre scored 6 points and hauled in 7 rebounds in the game’s first nine minutes.

The Panthers used a 15-2 run to pull away late in the first, but SIU closed the half on a 6-0 run capped by a pull up 3-pointer by junior guard Hannah Shores with three seconds remaining.

The second half saw only one lead change. The Salukis came out of the locker room red hot, extending their run to 15-0 to take a 6-point lead.

The Panthers tied the game 6464 with 5:01 remaining, but never regained the lead. SIU fended off every Northern Iowa run to finish with a win.

Pierre ended the game with 26 points and 21 rebounds, both gamehighs. Her 21 rebounds was also a career-high. Sunday marked the fourth straight game she recorded a double-double. Her 33 career doubledoubles put her in sixth place all-time in MVC history.

Senior guard Brooke Brown led the Panthers with 18 points. All five Panther starters finished the game in double figures.

Stein summed up the back-andforth game succinctly after the game.

“Holy sweat balls,” Stein said. “That was crazy, huh?”

Junior forward Azia Washington said the Salukis’ recent success against top-flight MVC teams is special, given their struggles last year.

“We know how it feels to walk off the court and lose by 30,” Washington said.

“So to look at these same coaches and these same players that used to look at us like we were nothing and show them that we do know how to play basketball, it’s the greatest feeling ever.”
