Sorority hosts baby shower for pregnant students Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Giving birth is one of the hardest things for a woman to go through, and two students had their journeys made a bit easier. The SIU chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority hosted a baby shower for two pregnant students Sunday in the Alumni Lounge of the Recreation Center. Chasity Jones, vice president of the sorority, said this is third year of the event “Shower Me Blue,” which brought in diapers, wipes, lotions and toys. “Expecting mothers in college are trying to balance school, work and having a baby, so if they have additional support, it’s easier for them to finish school,” Jones said. All financial issues hit expecting mothers the most, Jones said. So she was excited to keep the event going and provide a little relief. Aseedaw Deal, a clinical instructor with the rehabilitation department, said the shower goes along with the national Stork’s Nest Initiative for Zeta Phi Beta, which has supported needy, typically young mothers since 2010. More than 20 women have been helped by the movement in the last five years, Deal said. “We look for college-aged women to provide support because they are typically between 18 and 23 years old,” Deal said. “We want to show them that the community supports them.” Brandy Dix and Ricki Gary, both moms-to-be, were helped by Zeta Phi Beta on Sunday. The women said they were thankful for the help, but wished the university were more understanding of their situation. Gary, a senior from Chicago studying community health, said she has had several professors who would not adjust or accommodate the issues she had while pregnant.

Brandy Dix, a senior from LaVergne, Tenn., talks with her friends Sunday evening at the Shower Me Blue event hosted by Zeta Phi Beta in the Alumni Lounge of the Recreation Center. “We just want them to feel supported, that’s the main thing. We want to donate something to them to help get them started,” said Chasity Jones, one of the coordinators of the event. Donations went towards Dix, who is expecting a baby girl July 15, and senior Ricki Gary, who is expecting a boy April 21. The event aimed to support women through their pregnancies while attending college. “It’s difficult, but you need to keep pushing through it because it’s not just you anymore, it’s your child,” Dix said. “Don’t give up.” Dix said the degree was not just for her anymore, but for her baby girl too. “She’ll be literally graduating with me while I cross that stage,” Dix said.

“I had a professor say, ‘A pregnancy doesn’t stop anything,’ and if I’m sick, I need to bring crackers to class,” Gary said. “When I was late to class because I was waddling to get up stairs, she would ask why. Well, because I’m carrying 20 extra pounds.” Gary, who also works a receptionist at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale, said she was surprised by the teacher’s reaction, but understood everyone has his or her own opinions.

Dix, a senior from Lavergne, Tenn., studying paralegal studies, said she had not had any faculty be as direct with her, but had many problems balancing everything during her first trimester, before she knew she was pregnant. She said she was extremely exhausted and often sick, causing her to miss class frequently. Having to deal with the changing of her body and hormones, especially without any family around her, Dix said extra support means

everything. She managed to keep her grades up and began an internship with the Williamson County Public Defender’s Office this semester. “We’re seniors and we’re doing this,” Dix said. “This was not going to stop us from anything. We are graduating with our degrees in May.” Along with that, Dix is also the president of the Real Talk Registered Student Organization, which brings together students with

different backgrounds to tell their experiences, and is a babysitter for the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services. “Nothing stops,” she said. “You have to keep pushing through. We’re bringing life into the world. This is a miracle.” Both women were determined to finish their degrees, even with the added challenge of having a baby. Dix is expecting a baby girl named Lily in April, and Gary a baby boy in July named Kaiden.

Eggemeyer has worked with SIU for 15 to 20 years, including on the renovation of Trueblood Hall. Mark Dillon, president of Eggemeyer, said the company assessed what changes needed to be made by visiting the dining hall when it was busy, and watching how students move through space and how food is served. Then they made recommendations to dining services and worked with them to come up with the new design. According to a University Housing press release, Peggy Connors, associate director of university housing, said the

reasons behind the renovations are poor layout of service stations and equipment that has not been updated in 25 years. She said with the large number of customers, the dining hall’s traffic flow can become congested. Alex Nagy, a sophomore from Aurora studying anthropology, said he noticed congestion in Lentz, at noon everyday, and when the hall is serving popular foods. “Typically on specific days, like chicken nugget day, there is a large amount of congestion that flows all the way out of the building,” he said. The press release also states the

renovated dining hall serving areas will include new food serving stations such as a bigger salad bar, deli and dessert station, pizza and pasta counter and a cook-to-order station. There will also be a self-service pantry in the serving area that will offer a variety of cereals. Instead, Veronica Kleber, a sophomore from Grayslake studying mechanical engineering suggested University Housing make use of the amount of usable food stations the dining hall already has. “In one of the dining rooms, there used to be another food serving

station that had a small salad bar,” she said. “Even something like that would open it up a little bit more.” While there will not be any changes to the meal plan, “The newly renovated dining hall will significantly improve the quality of undergraduate housing for SIU Carbondale students on campus,” the release stated. Connors said during the renovation, business will continue as usual. However, some students say the work is disruptive and won’t solve student dining concerns.

Renovations underway for Lentz Hall

Tierra Carpenter Daily Egyptian

Lentz Hall renovations, which began in February, are expected to be completed by fall, university officials say. Lentz is undergoing $1.4 million renovations paid for by University Housing, which is “operated through room and board funds,” said Crystal Bouhl, University Housing assistant director of marketing. Eggemeyer Associates Architects in Carbondale are the designers for the project, while the SIU Physical Plant will carry out the plans.

Kaitlyn Delaney, a sophomore from Wood Dale studying early childhood education, said having one of the overflow rooms closed during the renovation is problematic. “It made it way more crowded,” Delaney said. “Sometimes when I come in here during lunch time, I can’t seem to find anywhere to sit, and it takes up more of my time that I have to get to class.” Also, several students said they

would like to see the Lakeside Express come back. Lakeside Express was a store inside Lentz that allowed students to convert their dining plan into points, and use those points to purchase food that they were allowed to carry out of the dining hall. There was a similar store on the east side of campus, called Eastside Express, and they were both removed from the campus after the Spring 2014 semester when the Saluki Anytime Plan was built into residence hall contracts.

The new meal plan allows students unlimited access to the dining halls, but does not allow students to take food outside. Kleber said the express shops were convenient for students. “Lakeside Express was a great way for students to be able to access groceries and not have to go all the way to the store, especially for students who don’t have cars,” she said. “They took away a big privilege the students had.” As of now there are no plans to reopen the expresses, Bouhl said.

Opinion: Maintaining power remains police’s priority Tyler Davis

@TDavis_DE | Daily Egyptian

“To protect and serve” is emblazoned across countless cop cars across America, but serving and protecting has not been the reasoning behind every ticket administered by the police. Sometimes officers need to remind citizens who is in control. This was especially true Sunday morning on the Strip in Carbondale. Lives were not in danger and no services were being granted when a Carbondale Police Department officer cited me, a black 21-yearold, for illegally crossing a street and resisting arrest. Walking from the west side of Illinois Avenue to the east side of the street en route to Jimmy John’s, I was told by an officer to stop and show my ID. A bus was northbound on the street and about 30 yards away from me as I jogged across the road. I asked the officer why I had to

give him the card as I continued to walk down the street. He grabbed me and as I continued to ask questions, I was cuffed. Believe it or not, this was not the first time police had given me a hard time about something trivial. Many other black men are questioned, stopped and even arrested based on suspicion. The National Registry of Exonerations, an organization that tracks falsely convicted people, has 26 U.S. exonerations listed so far in 2015. Fifteen of those were black, eight white and three Latino. The main arresting officer assured me that my skin color, full lips and curly hair did not influence his aggression and arrest. “Hey, man,” he said pointing to his bare wrists. “Color’s got nothing to do with this.” That is a funny thought to me. While most prominent cases of police aggression and suspicion

against blacks feature white officers, black officers are not given an “It’s not a race thing” card to play. There is no such card. Prejudice and oppression against black people by police is not perpetuated by the officer’s skin color—it’s all in the badge. No matter if the officer is black, Latino or white, there is an inherent mistrust associated with police against people of color. There is a superior-inferior relationship with the police, and not just black people, but with all people. The officer said it himself. “Even if you think I’m wrong, it will go a lot smoother if you just listen to me,” he said. He is the boss. I am not. He has the power and I do not. In his mind, he was not trying to flex his muscles or intimidate me, but that’s exactly what he did. My experiences lead me to believe he and other officers do it every day. He was letting me know, no

matter what, he was in charge and there was nothing I could do about it. After I wrote my statement, detailing why I felt I was being improperly punished he told me following police orders would keep me out of trouble. He called me smart, well-spoken and said I didn’t belong in the jail. (I agree seeing as I had never been there before.) He made himself seem understanding and caring. I’m not saying he is not, but why can’t police be that way in the beginning? Why can’t all police encounters begin with understanding and providing answers instead of questioning and suspicion? The double standard where officers can ask whatever they want but do not have to answer arrestees’ queries, is an ailment that will encourage citizens to distrust police. What happened last night was not a case of police brutality—not

even close. I have no plans to sue. I will fight my charge in court. I don’t think the officer is even a bad guy. He probably went to bed at the end of his shift believing he did his job as well as he could have. But if the goal was to protect and serve, then he misfired. He had put me in my place. Not as a criminal, not as a troublemaker, but as someone without power during face-toface interactions. I recognized that I am feeble as a regular citizen against the badge. I know officers are in dangerous situations each and every day, but I should never feel like an inferior member of society. And the problem lies with the day-in, day-out actions by police that reinforce this narrative. Until that is addressed and adjusted, there will continue to be a gap between police practices and a public that feels served and protected.

Floridian keeps southern rock authentic Chase Myers

@chasemyers_DE | Daily Egyptian

There must be something in the swampy waters of Florida. Tom Petty, Underoath, Yellowcard and Less than Jake are just a small selection of the rock ‘n’ roll names to emerge from the panhandle. Eric Sardinas, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native, is one name to break out of the Florida music scene with his authentic, classic rock sound and his integrity. Sardinas will play at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Corner Shots Sports Bar in Carbondale. Tickets are $10 at the door. He began playing music at the age of 6 when he was exposed to a lot of blues, soul, gospel, funk and Motown, he said. “I always had a musical household,” Sardinas said. “My older brother... was more rock ‘n’ roll, so I have a

lot of classic rock ‘n’ roll that I was exposed to.” Blues influences his music the most, with artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Charlie Patton and Muddy Waters helping him develop his own style, he said. “When it comes to having something to say within the context of blues, you have to have your own story and your own voice,” he said. “Everything comes from everything and everyone’s got something.” During his childhood, he began playing acoustic and electric guitar left-handed and eventually switched to right-handed. “Sometimes it’s a right-handed world,” he said. After playing about 300 shows a year with different backing bands, Sardinas released his first record “Treat Me Right,” in 1999 with authenticity and few digital adjustments.

“I knew I wanted to have a record contract and with that being said, there was a time when that was the way for an artist to have their music on the scene,” he said. Since then, he has recorded six studio albums including “Boomerang,” which was released last year. He is currently touring with his band, Big Motor. He said although he has had about 15 versions of a backing band since his career began, the current lineup, with Big Motor, is the most consistent. The band consists of Levell Price on bass and Bryan Keeling on drums. The combination of Sardinas’ Floridan influence, Price’s Mississippi background and Keeling’s Kansas roots authenticate the band’s original southern style, he said.

Experimenting to achieve the big ‘O’ DE After Dark Branda Mitchell

@BrandaM_DE | Daily Egyptian

If I were stranded in the desert for a week and I had to choose between water or an orgasm, the orgasm wins. There is no better feeling in the world than a great back-arching, toe-curling session with whomever you get down to business with. The American Psychological Association found that men orgasm on average more than 90 percent of the time, while one in three women have trouble achieving one, according to Brown University Health Services. As a woman, I already have some bones to pick with mother nature. Childbirth and cramps are one thing, but the inability to orgasm as easily as a guy is also on my list. I had never considered this was a normal issue for other women and assumed something was wrong with me. After a Google search turned up many articles about women who also

have this problem, I knew I had to solve it for myself. To rule out any legitimate health concerns, a trip to the doctor was first. After that was squared away, I took information I found on the Internet and put it to the test. The quickest way to learn about yourself is to fly solo before you bring in a co-pilot. Yes, that means masturbation. When you are alone, you do not have all the self-consciousness that can come with being with another. My vibrator does not care if my eyeliner makes me look like the kid from "The Grudge." So sit back, relax and figure out what works for you. It is much easier to get off with someone else if you already know what you like. Plus, masturbation releases endorphins and increases blood flow, so it is good for you too. For women, slow and steady wins the race. Foreplay can make a big difference in a woman's arousal, so take your time. The more aroused a woman is prior to having sex, the easier it is to orgasm. Most women respond to clitoral stimulation because the female equivalent of the penis is the clitoris, not the vagina. Vaginal orgasms are

harder to achieve in general, so try shifting your focus. This is where the fun comes in with a partner: try oral. Oral is basically one of the easiest ways to get a grand finale. Take the opportunity to offer your partner some guidance because they do not know what is or is not working well. Certain positions can also make difference. The girl on top allows for pressure on the pelvis, which aids in achieving the big O. The girl on bottom with a pillow under her hips makes for the best angle. The Coital Alignment Technique, the best in my opinion, is another version of missionary. With slow movements, it is geared toward optimal clitoris stimulation. Think "Driving Miss Daisy" here, not "The Fast and the Furious." The fun of having an orgasm is finding out what works for you. Not every romp session has to end with a mind-blowing, full-body reaction, but it is great when it does. So explore yourself or your girl and have fun doing it, because once you figure it out, it is well worth it.

Lineup change spurs success Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

After 15 games with the same leadoff hitter, the Saluki softball coaching staff made a change at the top of the order. Senior center fielder Kalyn Harker batted leadoff for 14 games with junior infielder Kelsey Gonzalez batting second for 13 games. The lineup was not producing, so coach Kerri Blaylock said the team needed a change. “It was time to do something different,” she said. “We needed a spark plug.” Harker had a .191 batting average, 10 runs, 3 RBIs, 6 walks and 10 strikeouts in the first 15 games of the season. Strikeouts were a problem Harker worked with associate head coach Jen Sewell to solve. She said it was because of an uncomfortable swing. “I worked a lot with [Sewell] to get my footwork and hands right,” she said. “I feel a lot more comfortable slapping and I have everything right now.” Harker admitted she struggled in the leadoff spot, which Blaylock attributed to a usual slow start for Harker. “She’s been a slow starter for four years,” she said. “She just needed to get on track, but you see what she can do.” While the leadoff hitters struggled, the Dawgs limped to a 5-9-1 record. Gonzalez had a .244 batting average, with 4 runs, 5 RBIs, 7 walks and 3 strikeouts through the first 15 games. Sewell said the team feeds off of Gonzalez. “Whatever Kelsey does makes them feel better,” she said. “She’s like the

comfort blanket. She calms the team at short, and she calms the team at the leadoff spot.” On March 11, in a 3-2 loss against Lipscomb University, the coaching staff put Gonzalez at leadoff and Harker at No. 2. The Salukis are (61, 6-0) since, and are leading the Missouri Valley Conference. Gonzalez and Harker are No. 1 and

Zhang gets bumped off podium in NCAA return Matt Wells

@mattwells_DE | Daily Egyptian

Junior diver Kaixuan "Sherry" Zhang returned to the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship but did not qualify for the final in either the 1-meter or 3-meter dive. Zhang finished 21st place in the 3-meter dive preliminary round with a score of 318.20. Last year she scored 389.20. “It’s hard to hold up at the top of 3 [meter dive,]” Saluki diving coach Joy Zhao said. Zhang placed 24th in the 1-meter dive preliminary, scoring 285.35. Her score was 3.05 points better than last year, where she scored 282.30. She finished 11th last season. Zhao said Zhang's first dive was not great, but after that she did very well. “She didn’t give up,” Zhao said. Zhang's scores this year would have qualified her last year. Only the top-16 divers qualify in both NCAA Championship final. Zhao said Zhang is going to qualify again for the NCAA Championship in 2016. She has one last season to build upon her successful Saluki career. Zhang was recognized as

MVC Diver of the Week nine consecutive times this season. She was later named MVC Diver of the Year, First Team All-MVC and MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. As a sophomore, she was a five-time Missouri Valley Conference Diver of the Week honoree. Zhang was First Team All-MVC and MVC ScholarAthlete of the Year. This season, she finished first in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives at every meet before the zone diving qualifying meet, where she finished second in both. Last season, she did not finish worse than third place in any event throughout the season, except in the NCAA Championship. Zhang was one of two Missouri Valley Conference divers, along with Illinois State senior diver Wenting Zhang, to qualify for the meet in Greensboro, N.C. “I’m so proud of that honor,” Zhao said. “That we had two divers in the NCAA from our conference.” While there is no guarantee of what Zhang will accomplish from here on out because every season is different, Zhao said she is confident Zhang will continue to succeed.

3 in batting with .328 and .306 averages respectively, and are two of four players on the team batting .300 or better. Gonzalez has the 14th best average in the MVC for batters with 60 or more at-bats. Sewell said Gonzalez is calm and Harker is energetic, a perfect one-two punch for the lineup. “We can have a nice, calm first at-bat and then we can go to work after that,”

she said. “We don’t have to stifle our momentum and we can just roll now.” Since the switch, Gonzalez is batting .478 with 5 runs, 3 RBIs, 5 walks and zero strikeouts. Harker is batting .480 with 7 runs, 5 RBIs, 1 walk and 1 strikeout. Gonzalez, who has not batted leadoff since she was 12 years old, said she did not think the change would be permanent.

“Kalyn wasn’t feeling confident in the one-hole so [Blaylock] tried me there,” she said. “Right now it is working and the two of us feel comfortable where we are.” Blaylock and Sewell told Gonzalez not to change what she was doing when going to the leadoff spot. They stressed she would only really be leading off once per game and every other time would be a normal at-bat. Gonzalez gives the team feedback about pitchers, a key for success in the game, Blaylock said. “[Gonzalez] does a great job of seeing a lot of pitches,” she said. “She gives great information—once she sees the pitcher for the first time—to the other hitters.” Since the change, the Salukis have scored in four of seven first innings, something the team did only five times in the 15 games before. Harker said she and Gonzalez need to help the team score early. “When we get on base in the first inning, it pumps the team up,” she said. “If we can score in the first inning, it helps our pitchers out too.” The change at the top two positions was a drop in the bucket for an everchanging Saluki lineup this season. SIU has used 21 different lineups through 22 games this year. Sewell said once they made the switch with Harker and Gonzalez the offense clicked. “When we switched it, it was a ‘duh’ moment,” she said. “Players really make coaches look like geniuses, so we thank them for that.”

Salukis sweep Shockers, move to 6-0 in MVC Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

SIU softball (11-10-1, 6-0) continued its impressive start to the Missouri Valley Conference schedule after sweeping Wichita State (16-15, 1-5) and winning its seventh straight series against the Shockers. On Saturday, coach Kerri Blaylock earned wins No. 550 and 551 behind senior pitcher Katie Bertelsen’s fourth and fifth win of the season. Bertelsen has been the winning pitcher in all six SIU conference victories this season. In game one of the series, the Salukis wasted no time getting on the board en route to a 4-3 win. In the first inning, senior center fielder Kalyn Harker reached on a fielder’s choice and later scored on an RBI double from freshman
