SIU starting safety arrested EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

Redshirt junior safety Kenny James was suspended from the SIU football team indefinitely after he was arrested this weekend on three counts of aggravated third-degree assault in Columbia, Mo., according to the police department there.

James, who is 5-foot-10 and 204 pounds, was arrested about 1 a.m. Sunday at the Tonic Nightclub, a public information officer at the Columbia department said Tuesday. Columbia police were called to a physical disturbance involving a large group of people at the nightclub, where police say James assaulted the bar’s

security guards as they were escorting him out of the facility. James did not participate during SIU’s first spring practice of the year Monday morning, and is not working out or practicing with team. Coach Nick Hill said Monday that James was suspended from the team and will not play in the Spring Game on April 23.

“I am facing my consequences like a man,” James said. “[Hill] has nothing but the best intentions for this program and his players. I’m focused on regaining the trust of my coaches and teammates and putting this behind me.” Last season James started 10 games in the secondary for the Salukis. He returned two interceptions for

touchdowns and recorded 107 tackles, which was second on the team. The Salukis will be returning 11 other players in the secondary from last season, five at safety. Brent Meske contributed to this report. Evan Jones can be reached at EJones@ dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3304.

DIAMOND JONES | Daily Egyptian

The Students for Life of America, the nation’s largest anti-abortion organization, will host a presentation at the Student Center on Wednesday about alternatives to Planned Parenthood for women’s health services. The event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. is open to the public. Kristan Hawkins, who has been president of organization since 2006, said Planned Parenthood isn’t needed. She believes taxpayer money should fund community health centers instead of subsidizing a billion-dollar organization that “uses women for profit.” “While last year’s undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives touting the horrific business practice of harvesting the body parts of aborted babies and selling them for profit made news for months and the U.S Congress did pass a bill to defund the abortion giant, they are still being funded by taxpayers with over half a billion dollars a year,” said Hawkins, who has helped expand a number of anti-abortion groups on college campuses. The videos in question taken by the Center for Medical Progress allegedly showed executives discussing the use of aborted fetuses’ tissues. However, the videos were later found to be edited, and a Texas grand jury indicted CMP’s founder and one videographer while declining to indict Planned Parenthood, according to NBC News. But Hawkins said she prefers Federally Qualified Health Centers because they provide more comprehensive health care services and give local communities an increase in jobs and economic benefits to help less fortunate communities. Julie Lynn, Planned Parenthood’s manager of external affairs for Illinois, said her organization also helps poor communities because it does not turn away patients who aren’t able to afford services.

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms John Ewing, of Galesburg, strolls past salt water aquariums between chores Tuesday at Hardware and Pets, a store he runs with his mother, Wilma, in Murphysboro. The Ewings began the business in 1978 selling hardware, and in 1986 John started selling fish downstairs. Hardware and Pets has since evolved to sell predominantly pets, offering birds, lizards, mice, rats, a chameleon and hundreds of species of fish. “We always had pets when we were young,” John said. “I had a fish tank back in the 60s and we just gradually got into it. We started off with one tank and the next thing you know, there’s 90.”

Saluki debate finishes second in nation DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK

Southern Illinois University finished as the runner-up at this year’s National Championships of Debate. SIU finished higher than universities such as Rice, Missouri, Washington and Loyola at the National Parliamentary Debate Association championship tournament, which was hosted

from March 19 to 21 at California State University, Long Beach. Arielle Stephenson, a junior from Torrance, Calif., studying business economics, and Bobby Swetz, a freshman from Flossmoor studying economics, won 13 times at the 165team tournament before being bested in the championship debate against William Jewell

College, a school of about 1,100 students. “There are no divisions in debate,” said Todd Graham, SIU’s director of debate. “So as you can expect, there are excellent teams from smaller institutions as well as large. We lost to a better team today, and they deserved to win the national title.” Please see DEBATE | 2

This is the sixth time in nine years SIU has advanced into the championship debate, winning four of those years. “Arielle and Bobby exceeded all expectations we had for them at the beginning of the year,” Graham said. “I told everyone this was a rebuilding year, since we lost our national champions from previous years to graduation and Arielle and Bobby were so young. When they heard me telling people that, well, I think I made them mad.” In response to the “rebuilding” title, the tandem doubled their research and practice times. Graham said after a win in a tournament at the University of

Students spend spring break helping others TYLER CROTZER | @TylerCrotzer_DE

Partying with friends, seeing family and having no responsibilities come to mind when thinking about spring break. It’s a time to relax and recharge the batteries before returning to all the work that was so easy left behind at school. “I could have went to a different city and partied or went out with people,” said Aaron Uhe, a senior from Alhambra studying architecture. “But for me, a better memory would be to go to a place and interact with the community.” Uhe was a part of a group of more than 30 SIU students who used spring break to take part in community service projects around the U.S. The Carbondale chapter of Students Today Leaders Forever, which works to reveal leadership through service projects, went on its first stand-alone “pay it forward” tour during the break. The members participated in the tour during last year’s spring break — their first year as a RSO — but because of low enrollment, they had to merge with St. Louis University’s tour. This year, the group visited five states and took part in six projects, ranging from cleaning local businesses to advocating for homeless teens. Cassondra Walker, a junior from Middleborough, Mass., studying physiology, planned the event in Myrtle Beach, S.C. They worked with Sea Haven’s Project Lighthouse — an emergency crisis service for youths 13 to 21 years old. “I’d never done anything with homelessness,” Walker said. “So, I knew I wanted to do something different not only for myself, but for others in the program. There are not a lot of opportunities in Carbondale that I know of for people to help the homeless, so I found Project Lighthouse.”

Utah, he began to believe his team could compete for a national title. SIU continued its record streak of having a team compete in the semifinals of a national championship for the ninestraight year. “I know Dr. Todd really wanted to continue our final-four streak,” Swetz said. “I wanted to continue the SIU streak of winning a championship for a fourth recordsetting year.” No other team had won a title three-consecutive years until the Salukis achieved that last season. Swetz said the team will just have to start a new championship streak next season. To read more, please see www.dailyegyptian.com

Yenitza Melgoza | @YenitzaM_DE Tyler Brenneise, a senior from Minnetonka, Minn., studying communication studies, serves customers March 3 at McAlister’s Deli. Brenneise has been a member of the Carbondale chapter of Students Today Leaders Forever since it was established last year. STLF is a program run by students, which engages qualities such as leadership and service.

The group split into teams and visited hotels to disperse food vouchers provided by Sea Haven for homeless or runaway teens. Walker said most of the hotels they visited allowed younger individuals to stay there while the food vouchers, which could be redeemed at the Sea Haven facility, allowed teens to have more money to spend on lodging. Some groups visited hotels that turned away people under 21 and gave staff vouchers to hand out to teens, which provided them with a meal and a place to stay at Sea Haven. “I was unsure how we would be able to make a difference in hopes of hotels giving food vouchers out,” said Kristin Boelter, the chapter’s founder. “But after seeing what Sea Haven offers — nice clothes for interviews, a garden, help creating resumes and more — I knew that any one person that stepped into Sea Haven would

“Many people are unaware that Planned Parenthood’s Public Policy department has played key roles in getting certain legislation passed,” she said. Still, at least one student organization is supporting Students for Life of America’s event at SIU. Kasey Schwartz, president of Saluki Respect Life, the university’s anti-abortion group, said the goal of her group is to support pregnant and parenting students with its Pregnant On Campus program. “We are hoping to conduct fundraisers where the proceeds will create a scholarship fund for pregnant and parenting students,” the graduate student said in an email.

make all the difference.” The group also did clean-up projects for the Costal Discovery Museum in South Carolina, Chehaw Park’s Zoo in Georgia, Pensacola Beach in Florida and a no-kill animal shelter in North Carolina. While in the Tar Hell State, some of the members helped a water revitalization organization clean a creek in Asheville. After spending long days working throughout the country and even longer nights sleeping on the floors, tour members were treated to a hotel room for two nights in their celebration city, Pensacola, Fla., which sits on the Gulf of Mexico. In Pensacola the national branch planned a project to clear sand and debris left behind from recent hurricanes before they took time to relax on the beach and meet people from other chapters of STLF.

The tour cost $480 per person with a $125 registration fee. To ensure that everyone who wants to go can, Boelter said payments can be made in small increments. Boelter, a junior from South Elgin studying interior design, said the group is always searching for ways to help out in the Carbondale community as well. Last year they helped with Keep Carbondale Beautiful and Touch of Nature. She hopes to do more projects this year as the weather gets warmer. Anyone interested in giving back to the community or participating in next year’s tour can attend one of the weekly meetings at 5 p.m. Tuesdays in the lower level of Grinnell.

Regan Nielsen, midwest regional coordinator for the Students for Life of America, said Saluki Respect Life invited the display to the school. She said she was impressed with the male and female students involved with the group and how they help their communities. Saluki Respect Life has held events to help mothers with newborns, but Nielsen said the event on Wednesday will be its biggest event yet. “Our ultimate goal of being a part of pro-life is to spread awareness to truth of abortion,” Nielsen said. “We want to let people know that abortion doesn’t have to be the only option. With Planned Parenthood, their constantly hurting women when women deserve better.”

However, Lynn denied these allegations. She said the type of care Planned Parenthood provides empowers patients to make decisions for themselves about their own body. Lynn said “pro-life” groups do not recognize the many services Planned Parenthood provides other than abortions, such as STI testing and treatment, sex education, annual exams, breast cancer screenings and sexual health services for men. “With Planned Parenthood we want to provide quality reproductive health care without judgment and with respect,” she said.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE The Rev. Sidney Logwood, owner of Southern Que Barbecue Restaurant and pastor at Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Carbondale, stains a countertop for his new restaurant location on Thursday in Murphysboro. Logwood said he plans to open Southern Que, which was previously located in Carbondale, before the end of the month. He said Southern Que had to rely heavily on catering jobs in the summer in Carbondale because of the smaller student population, but he hopes the steady population of Murphysboro will make for an easier time running the business. Murphysboro was designated as the “BBQ Captial of Illinois” in May of 2015. “I’m hoping we can make it a better reflection of what a barbecue capital ought to look like,” Logwood said. “I’m just trying to get a little piece of the pie.”

Popular Carbondale barbecue restaurant moves to Murphysboro TIERRA CARPENTER | @TIERRAMC_

After being closed for nearly two years, Southern Que, a barbecue restaurant previously located in Carbondale, will reopen in early April in Murphysboro, the barbecue capital of Illinois. The Rev. Sidney Logwood, who co-owns the restaurant with his wife Hope, said the restaurant relocated because the small space of the previous location and the lack of students in Carbondale during the summer. “You have people over there [in Murphysboro] that support their restaurants,” Sidney said. “You have baby boomers over there with money and if you have good food they’ll come get it, and they’re there all year — as opposed to when the students go home you have all summer where you’re trying to survive.” Sidney, a pastor at Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church, also said the price of rent is inexpensive in Murphysboro compared to Carbondale. “We’ll have more space available

to us and we’ll know how to design our menu to better meet our needs, Hope said. "Then we’ll be in a setting where people are coming to look specifically for barbecue.” Illinois lawmakers named Murphysboro the barbecue capital of the state and the Travel Channel listed the city as one of the top barbecue destinations nationwide. Hope said she was on board to reopen the restaurant — which serves ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, rib tips and pig snoot, among other things — because she was having trouble finding a suitable job in her field of social work. Even though she holds a master's in social work, she said she actually prefers working in the restaurant business. “For me it’s a sense of accomplishment and a challenge, and I like challenges,” Hope said. “As a business owner you have a lot of responsibilities, but there’s a certain amount of challenge to it that allows you to be creative and do things the way you want to do them.” Sidney said he knows that people are still interested in the restaurant.

“Even after us being closed for a year and a half people are still asking, ‘When are y'all going to reopen? Where are you at?’” he said. Logwood said it was frustrating to have to recruit new customers every year after students left the university. He said he annually spent money on advertising to make new students aware of Southern Que. While he still thinks students will visit, he said they aren’t his target consumer. Anthony Hudson, a junior from Chicago studying exercise science, said he often ate at Southern Que his freshman year and had nothing but good experiences. Hudson said when Southern Que closed there was no place in Carbondale where he enjoyed eating barbecue. “I enjoyed their rib tips and their family friendly service. They always made me smile when I went in there,” he said. “I was upset when they closed.” Tierra Carpenter can be reached at Tcarpenter@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Help needed: More minority college grads TERESA WILTZ | STATELINE.ORG

In 15 years, California expects to be about 1.1 million college graduates short of the number needed to fill jobs that require at least a bachelor's degree. Already, the nation's most populous state is a minority-majority state — one in which racial and ethnic minorities comprise more than half the population. And blacks, Hispanics and American Indians not only are less likely to go to college, but their graduation rates are also lower than that of whites. California is a bellwether for a nation that is becoming more diverse, whose economy is demanding a better educated workforce, and whose state colleges and universities are increasingly pressured to deliver it — which means making sure minorities, especially African-Americans, finish school and get degrees. College graduation rates among African-American students have lagged behind the national average for a variety of reasons, including poor preparation at the K-12 level, family issues, feeling alienated at school and financial pressure from rising tuition costs. Latino and American Indian students also lag, but not as much. In response, major state universities — such as the University of Maryland, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, as well as the University of California system — have been making concerted efforts to attract and retain disadvantaged students by using programs tailored to boost academic performance and improve assimilation to college life. And

they are showing some results. Among 255 four-year state colleges and universities with a large enrollment of minority students, combined graduation rates for African-American, Hispanic and American Indian students rose from 43.8 percent to just over 50 percent from 2003 to 2013, according to the Education Trust. Many educators, such as Kumea Shorter-Gooden, chief diversity officer at the University of Maryland, say that because public universities receive state funding, they have an obligation to educate the citizenry. Admitting students and not helping them succeed doesn't make financial sense, she said. Other educators, such as Angela Dillard, associate dean for undergraduate education at the University of Michigan, agree. University of California President Janet Napolitano plans to increase enrollment, adding 10,000 more undergraduates over the next three years at its 10 campuses. The university system is sending administrators, including Napolitano, to high schools to encourage low-income minority students, who reflect the state's shifting demographics, to enroll. And it is stepping up efforts to get students to graduate on time. Like nearly every major state university, the University of Nebraska has been focusing on increasing the graduation rates of all students, said Amy Goodburn, the associate vice chancellor for academic affairs. But the school also put in place programs, such as the William H. Thompson Scholars Learning

Community, to help disadvantaged students, many of whom are minorities. By law, the university cannot award scholarships based on race, but it can issue scholarships to students who've faced challenges in their lives. The program, which started in 2008 and is funded by the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, gives a full ride to promising students from low-income families. Thompson scholars live together and receive academic support and intensive mentoring. The program's success inspired the university to add programs that pair students with academic coaches and financial aid counselors, like First Husker, for students who are the first in their family to attend college, and Emerging Leaders, for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's most recent retention rates — the rate of students who enrolled in 2014 and returned for the 2015 academic year — were 68 percent for black men and 80 percent for black women, Goodburn said. And this year, applications from minority students more than doubled. The University of Maryland launched a diversity initiative in 2010, including programs to address the achievement gap between white and minority students. Fifteen percent of undergraduates on the campus are black. Another, longer-standing, program targets talented African-American and Latino men. The 8-year-old College Success Scholars program brings in students the summer before their freshman year and supports them

throughout their college career. Parents are also encouraged to get involved, Shorter-Gooden said. The university graduates 74.1 percent of its black students and 79 percent of its Hispanic students. Similarly, the University of Michigan reports an increase in graduation rates: 78 percent of black students who enrolled in 2007 graduated within six years, up from 71 percent who enrolled in 2000. How has the university done it? "The easiest answer is that we're the most selective institution in the state," said Dillard, who helps oversee undergraduate education in the university's largest college, the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. Still, she said, "we want to close the gap completely." The university wants not just to improve students' graduation rates, but also to boost their GPAs, improve their quality of life, and prepare them for fulfilling careers, she said. To that end, the university has invested heavily in its Comprehensive Studies Program. Accepted students, who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, start their freshman year early with an intensive, seven-week summer bridge program. Once the fall term starts, they receive academic counseling and are eligible to participate in smaller study sessions for more challenging courses. The idea is to give first- and secondyear students support so they can thrive, Dillard said. The program, which serves 2,500 students, got its start in the late '60s, and originally was intended for AfricanAmerican and Latino students. But in

2006, Michigan effectively outlawed affirmative action by public colleges. Now, the program targets a broader segment of the state's population, focusing on students from low-income families, first-generation college students, and students from rural high schools — which means it serves more white students, Dillard says. Still, she said she hopes the program can be positive for black and Latino students, as well. "They won't be so isolated, this population of talented young people who haven't had the same advantages as some of their peers." States have a vested interest in a college-educated workforce. Federal, state and local governments enjoy greater tax revenue from college graduates, according to a 2013 report by the College Board, a national education advocacy group. The report also found that adults over 25 with only a high school degree are five times more likely to rely on food stamps and school lunch programs. College graduates earn on average twice what workers with only a high school diploma earn, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Today, a high school degree is no longer enough to guarantee admittance to the middle class, said Antoinette Flores, a post-secondary education policy analyst at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank based in Washington, D.C. "Fifteen years ago, you didn't have to go to college," Flores said. "You could find a middle-class job without a degree. But that's not the case anymore."

Magic of Makanda

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE John Richard Burpo, known around town as “Burpo,” talks about the stones used to craft necklaces in his workshop located in Makanda. Burpo spends his days creating jewelry, stone pipes and most notably knives from which the name of his business, “Hobo Knife” was derived. Burpo moved to Makanda two years ago from Steelville, Mo. “I grew up so far back in the sticks they had to pump in daylight,” Burpo said March 7. “I ran like a wild engine. I still do.” Burp stumbled across Makanda when he went to the local junk store in search of knives and rafts for his crafts. “I fell in love,” Burpo said. “It’s laid back, no stress, no drama. They told me about the festivals here and I hit every festival after that.” When he started at the festivals, Burpo said he sold out his pipes on the first day. “I made big piece pipes, tomahawk pipes and pipes with gnarly guys’ faces on them.” “Hobo Knife” is one of the many art and craft shops located in Makanda. “If you do something you love, you never work a day in your life,” Burpo said. “I finally got my disability from serving in Vietnam so now I craft. It’s my passion.”

10 gems to watch on Netflix JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE

Here’s my list of top films on Netflix to watch in your downtime. 10. “The Rundown” (2003): “The Rundown” is a wonderful homage to a decade of action films long gone. Missing in 1980s action movies are the thoughtful themes rampant in new-age films, replaced badass action-set pieces full of glee. This film is also the first real showcase to the talent Dwayne Johnson brings to the screen. All the raw charisma and intensity he brings to the silver screen is showcased in this early 2000s actionadventure film. While it is by far the least intelligent film on this list, this movie doesn’t mean it’s a bad film. 9. “The ‘85 Bears” (2016): Throw a dart and there is a good chance it will find a fantastic addition to ESPN’s “30 for 30” series. Even if you are not a sports fan, these documentaries will grab you and will not let go. “The ‘85 Bears” is no exception.

This documentary has virtually every sports troupe under the sun. A team full of misfits, a hot-tempered and a soft-spoken coach, a city craving a championship; it is all there. But unlike every cliché sports movie you’ve ever seen, this documentary has enough depth and emotionally resonant to make the oldest sports fan cry. 8. “Hot Fuzz” (2007): Magic, hilarity and profundity are bound to happen when the combination of director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost come together. “Hot Fuzz,” much like “The Rundown,” pays respect to classic 1980s and 1990s action films like “Point Break” and “Die Hard.” This comedy is funnier than the other film and it connects you emotionally to the characters. You can watch this film multiple times and always be entertained. 7. “Good Will Hunting” (1997): One of the best aspects of a streaming service like Netflix is it gives people more opportunities to watch classic movies

they might have missed. “Good Will Hunting” is a great example of an excellent film to go back and watch. Written and starring the young duo of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, it is a great view of what these two actors would become. It also demonstrates the serious talent the late comedian Robin Williams had in a role that won him an Oscar. 6. “Life Itself” (2014): “Life Itself” is one of those documentaries that takes a myth of a person and actually shows who he or she was, and very few have done it better than this Roger Ebert-based flick. You will get a beautiful glimpse into a man doing what he loves, even in his painful last days. The film will make viewers feel a multitude of emotions and make them sympathetic toward a key figure in the film industry. 5. “Dope” (2015): This film, like a few other movies on the list, is a piece of cinema that talks

about issues happening today. Serving as a coming-of-age story many have not seen before, the themes of race, fitting in and adolescent drug use are portrayed wonderfully in a new way. Watching “Dope” will be an intelligent experience for even the most casual viewer. 4. “Tangerine” (2015): Much like “Dope,” this film hits at topics that are relevant today. Yet, these themes are ones relevant to all those living and breathing. “Tangerine” features characters who identify as transgender, something not seen often in the film industry. While it could have come off as gimmicky and manipulative, this film pulls off a genuine, thoughtful and funny tale. 3. “Short Term 12” (2013): Riding the line between a realistic and emotion-drive narrative is a hard task. This Brie Larson-lead film seems to do it with the greatest of ease. The film presents a wonderful performance from Oscar-winning

actress Larson and a script that touches on mental illness and the stereotypes that come with it. Watch this film with a lot of tissues on hand, because you may literally cry your eyes out. 2. “Fruitvale Station” (2013): Speaking of tissues, you may want to bring a lot more if you plan to see “Fruitvale Station.” This is the first paring of actor Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler in a film that focuses on race, family and fighting one’s past. “Fruitvale Station” will emotionally wreck you. 1. “Groundhog Day” (1993): This Bill Murray classic is one that finds its place on many people’s greatest of all-time list. Watch it and you’ll see why. “Groundhog Day” is an example of a near-perfectly told story and an example of how thematically deep a comedy can get. If you have not seen it, drop whatever you are doing and see this movie.

Salukis win in walk-off against SEMO SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Fans were blown away at Charlotte West Stadium from both Mother Nature and a dramatic Saluki win. SIU softball (17-8, 2-0 Missouri Valley Conference) came back from a 0-2 deficit against Southeast Missouri State to win with a walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh, 3-2. The win came with gusts as high as 50 mph blowing from right to left field. "I have not played a game like this in 26 years," coach Kerri Blaylock said. "It's been windy, but nothing like today." Sophomore second baseman Savannah Fisher's double to bring home junior center fielder Merri Anne Patterson sealed the game for the Salukis. Patterson had a roller-coaster day in the field as her three-base fielding error allowed SEMO's second run in the fourth, prompting a team meeting in the field with Blaylock. Despite this, Patterson and Fisher were crafty on the base paths all day, stealing three combined bases in the game. The Lynnville, Tenn., native scored the Dawgs' first run on a double steal with Fisher in the bottom of the fifth. "We would not have won a game like this the last two or three years," Blaylock said. The Salukis used all three of their pitchers in the game for the first time this year. "For midweek games, they're all fresh, they're all good to go that way," Blaylock said. "So if we have to, we will." Freshman Nicole Doyle (1-0, 3.82 ERA) lasted just 2/3 innings after walking four batters to allow the game's first run. SEMO sophomore starter Madeline Kremrey (4-3, 3.40 ERA) pitched a solid five innings, allowing just one run on two hits in a nodecision. Sophomore Savanna Dover (35, 3.73 ERA) pitched the next five innings after Doyle, allowing an unearned run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Freshman

Brent Meske | @brentmeskeDE Junior first baseman Shaye Harre smiles towards teammates after her game-tying home run in the sixth against Southeast Missouri State on Tuesday at Charlotte West Stadium. She has eight homers on the year, which leads the team and is tied for No. 1 in the Missouri Valley Conference with Loyola sophomore infielder Brooke Wyderski.

Brianna Jones (13-3, 1.67 ERA) closed out the game, pitching 1 1/3 innings of one-hit ball. For the third time in four games, Jones picked up the win, and junior first baseman Shaye Harre hit another home run. Harre's team and career-high eighth home run crept over the right-center fence directly into the tropical storm-force winds and tied

the game in the sixth. "You can't tell if it's her birthday or her dog died," Blaylock said. "She's just that type of person. She's just so consistent that that's how she plays." Harre said her home run is probably not the hardest she's ever hit, but it's high on the list. The winds made life difficult for fielders and batters alike. Multiple

timeouts were called because of dust being picked up. Freshman left fielder Eyrika Brandenburg said assistant coach Jen Sewell made it easier to field in the wind by adjusting their positioning. "[Sewell] had me over on the foul line to play any foul ball," Brandenburg said. "She had Merri Anne moved over too to make up for me moving over."

SIU is now 2-0 in midweek games this year, much to Blaylock's happiness. "You need to come play every day," she said. "You need to be able to come out and do things like that. I was really proud of them."

Ryan Sabo's roommate and former outfielder, Parker Osborne was the lone Saluki to grow his lip hairs out, thus creating Mustache March. Sophomores Greg Lambert, Hunter Anderson, Logan Blackfan, juniors Ryan Smith, Sabo and senior Taylor Martin have all participated in some capacity in Mustache March this season. Only Lambert, and Sabo's 'staches remain. For some players, the mustache did not improve performance on the field. Take Blackfan — the mustache seemed to hinder his abilities at the plate. Before the doubleheader against Northern Illinois and Illinois on March 20, Blackfan went 8-37 at the plate with six RBIs for the month. In the six games right

before NIU and Illinois came to town, he went 2-22. Something had to change. Blackfan shaved off his mustache the night before SIU's games against the Huskies and Illini. "I didn't want to do it, I was sitting in front of the mirror for a long time [on March 19]," he said. "I guess it worked out for us — he's gone but hopefully he will be back again next year." The Cordova, Tenn., native belted a fastball on a full count over the right-center field fence for a three-run home run in his first at-bat after shaving his whiskers. It would seem the mustache was bad juju for Blackfan, but as a team, SIU is 8-4-1 in the month of March including two wins

against Illinois. "I could grow a mustache when I was in seventh grade," Sabo said. "I started growing this one a couple weeks before March, so I had a headstart." Lambert said the team's mustaches intimidate opposing teams and it shows. Since growing his 'stache, Lambert is batting .301 at the dish. His blonde hair means his mustache is not easy to see from afar. Even players with darker facial fur used Just for Men hair treatment to darken their 'staches. "They see a guy with the mustache and they have to think 'I don't want to mess with that kid," Lambert said. "The next step has to be be to add the mullet with the mustache."

But it's not just the opposing teams that have taken notice — members of the opposite sex have as well, the players said. Lambert thinks that is the reason that some of his teammates refused to try and grow a mustache. "They have girlfriends and they're whipped," he said. The Mustache Marchers went on to give reasons for players not growing mustaches; they can't physically do it, they're scared and they're pretty boys. Lambert and Sabo have just five more games to don their 'staches, next being against Memphis at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Itchy Jones Stadium.

Mustache March coming to an end for SIU baseball

EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

Sometimes baseball players' facial hair is comparable to their legacy on the field. Take Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers' handlebar mustache for example. Other times players wish their mustache was more popular than his legacy — a la Bill Buckner, famous for his error that lost the Red Sox a World Series. This season six SIU baseball players grew mustaches for their own month-long holiday they named "Mustache March." They come in different thicknesses and lengths. Some blonde, and some black. But it's not the appearance that matters, it's the effort. Last season, junior infielder
