Table tennis: international style Pepper spray deployed at Curbside fight Tyler DAvis | @TDavis_DE

A bbie i yun | @ AbinbolA 09 Shoujie Ho, president of the SIU Table Tennis Club, serves the ball at the 2015 International Games Tournament hosted by the International Student Council on Saturday. In 2014, the Table Tennis Club—consisting of players from China, India, Malaysia, Russia and Taiwan—made it to the National Collegiate Table Tennis Regional Championship in Pittsburgh. Despite a serious ankle sprain during a tournament in 2013, Ho still plays table tennis and motivates his team with his passion for the game. As club president, Ho wants to bring more awareness to the various styles of table tennis played worldwide. He said one way to do this was to recruit more international students. Chung-ying Tsai, a doctoral candidate in mechanical engineering and winner of the 2015 International Games Tournament, said he has been playing table tennis since he was 10. Chung said the club works hard, practicing every Saturday for four hours or more.

Carbondale police deployed pepper spray to break up fights in and around Curbside, a bar on West Main Street, early Sunday morning.

Just before 2 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a call claiming Curbside was over maximum capacity, and officers used pepper spray to break up a fight involving about 30 people in the bar, CPD Lt. Paul Edwards said. There were also four people fighting in the parking lot south of Curbside and west of the Carbondale Civic Center.

“A few people complained of injuries from the pepper spray,” Edwards said. He said foot patrol officers also responded to help disperse the crowd in the parking lot.

There were state troopers on the scene, and about 40 to 50 people leaving the bar shortly after the altercations. Witnesses complained of officers’ force restraining one man, who they said was not involved in either fight.

Edwards said no one was arrested as a result of the fights in the parking lot but would not say what arrests were made in connection to the incident in Curbside.

Ambulances were on the scene to treat injuries, and Edwards said no officers were injured during the altercations.

Curbside’s management could not be reached for comment.

Morel mushrooms fuel spring fever sAM beArD | @SamBeard_DE From the Mario Bros. to mind expansion, various mushrooms have had distinct roles in cultures around the world.

But come April in southern Illinois, the only mushroom playing with people’s minds is the morel.

This particular fungus can only be found for a few weeks each spring and is prized for its culinary value, selling for $15 to $25 a pound at the Neighborhood Co-op, located in the Murdale Shopping Center.

With warming temperatures and late night rainfalls, now is the perfect time to begin hunting morels, said Travis Neil, a graduate student in plant biology from Yorkville.

Neil, who is beginning his seventh year of hunting morels, said southern Illinois

is by far the best place in the state to find them.

“Historically, I get pounds in a day,” he said. “But I try not to destroy [the habitat] so I can come back year after year.”

Overharvesting is one concern about hunting, but different areas have restrictions on collecting mushrooms.

Southern Illinois has a variety of public property owned by various agencies ranging from the U.S. Forest Service and Illinois Department of Natural Resources to U.S. Fish and Wildlife, said Jennifer Randolph, a natural resources coordinator at Giant City State Park.

“Every agency has its own guidelines,” she said. “While some places you can hunt morels wherever you want, there are other places where there are restricted areas.”

Giant City State Park—located about a 15-minute drive south of SIU— encompasses 4,055 acres, but on the north side 110 acres have been set aside as a nature preserve, and no collecting of any kind is allowed there.

Randolph said hunters should be courteous of others by giving them space when they are mushroom hunting, and to take a bag with holes in it—such as a mesh bag onions are purchased in. These bags allow for the mushrooms to be easily carried while distributing reproductive spores throughout the forest, increasing the likelihood of more morels in future seasons.

Randolph, who also gathers morels, has found them in pine stands and said

H oliDAy W Agner | @HolidayWagnerDE Nicholas Flowers, a senior studying plant biology, picks up a false morel to distinguish the differences between false morels and true morels on Sunday near Devil’s Kitchen Lake. Flowers said the easiest way to tell if a mushroom is a geunine morel is to slice it open vertically. Morels have hollow centers while false morels do not. While morels are considered a prized mushroom to find and eat, a false morel can be very harmful to consume. False morels contain monomethylhydrazine which can cause symptoms ranging in severity from vomiting to death. Mushroom hunting is an exciting and competitive hobby for some, but it is important to be informed before injesting any of the mushrooms found in the wild.

Giant City is a popular spot for amateur mushroom hunters.

She said while there are some with years of experience, nobody is truly an expert at hunting morels.

“If they tell you they’re an expert and they know where to find them, they’re lying,” Randolph said. “Morels are a cantankerous little mushroom, because you might have a spot that you’ve had

success at for 10 years or so, then you go one year and there is not a single morel to be found.”

Different people have different techniques they follow when hunting morels. Oldtimers will urge beginners to start under ash, elm and cottonwood trees, but Randolph said there is no guarantee of success.

MORELS CONTINUED FROM

1

“It is really just kind of a gamble when you morel mushroom hunt,” she said. “They kind of have their own way of popping up wherever they want to.” “[True morels] are completely hollow inside,” he wrote in an email. “I compare them to those chocolate Easter bunnies that are hollow shells. And while solid chocolate Easter bunnies... do exist, no solid morels exist.”

He said false morels, which are poisonous, are not hollow when sliced open and depending on the species, there may be wrinkled folds of tissue inside or they might appear to be stuffed with cottony filaments.

False morels have high concentrations of monomethylhydrazine, which is a potentially carcinogenic toxic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

True morels have a small quantity of the toxin and must be cooked before consumption.

McFarland, who has been studying fungi for more than 20 years, said poisoning from MMH—the toxin in false morels—can lead to a splitting headache, vomiting, dizziness and

H oliday W agner | @HolidayWagnerDE Nicholas Flowers, a senior studying plant biology, and his brother, Brian Brown hunt for morels on Sunday near Devil’s Kitchen Lake. Each April, people flock to the forest in search of morels. Many morel hunters say around the third week of April is the best time to find morels and many will not reveal the locations where they have found them. “People think that you have to have some secret hidden spot, but they grow everywhere,” Flowers said. “I’ve found them on the edge of parking lots, in cities, in towns,” he said. “They’re not restricted to being out in the woods.”

muscle cramps, but deaths from ingesting it are uncommon.

The caps of true morels generally resemble a sea sponge with pits and pores, while false morels have wrinkled and brain-like caps.

McFarland said since false morels

are not hollow like true morels, false morels tend to be heavier.

True morels tend to grow in proximity with one another and when one is spotted, more are likely nearby.

However, ecologically minded hunters like Neil do not grab

everything they see. In fact, he leaves about 90 percent of the mushrooms intact when he finds a grouping to help maintain a stable population, he said.

McFarland said the secret spots where morels regularly pop up are

never mentioned among serious morel hunters.

“Die-hard morel hunters are known to go to their grave without revealing the most treasured of foraging secrets,” he wrote. “So morel hunters sneak about the woods in secrecy, jealously guarding the ultimate foraging knowledge.”

The season has just begun—by Sunday, only one morel was found by the six interviewed hunters. All of the gatherers said their favorite part about hunting morels is simply being in the woods.

Neil said the season lasts from mid-April to mid-May, and the yellow morels—the most popular variety—are usually the last to show themselves.

“The best luck I’ve had, for whatever reason, has been on April 24,” Neil said. “It’s been a really solid date every year.”

McFarland said morel season coincides with the first outbreaks of warm weather.

“People stampede toward the woods when morels pop up, partly to find morels, partly to rid themselves of cabin fever,” he said.

“Hunting for morels is a perfect way to get outdoors and enjoy the return of the good life. They can be quite delicious, which adds to their mystique.”

Breaking up is not so hard to do DE After Dark Branda Mitchell | @BrandaM_DE I have always been the one who breaks up with my significant other, primarily because I get bored easily.

While my approach may not work for everyone and I am not advocating it, I have always wondered why people have different deal breakers.

So, I set out to figure out why ending a relationship is different for everyone.

Brian Boutwell, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at Saint Louis University, and his colleagues used evolutionary psychology to look at what goes into ending a romantic relationship with a partner in a recent research review.

After examining prior research that suggested there was a mechanism in the brain

to make people fall out of love, the researchers evaluated the evolutionary, cognitive, neurobiological and genetic reasons for breaking up.

The study found that men and women tend to break up for different reasons. Men tend to break up with women who are physically unfaithful, based on the idea that men have evolved to not want to care for another person’s offspring. Women were found to care more about emotional devotion.

To determine the validity of this study in my own life, I used young people as a small sampling pool. I asked multiple people what breaking up was like in their past relationships and the results were very different.

Everyone was equally concerned with emotional and physical faithfulness. People were fairly evenly divided on why they broke up with their last significant others.

Some told me they broke up because of infidelity, others

because of a lessening emotional connection, with no correlation to gender and both applied in my own life.

Unsatisfied with the lack of a definitive reason for my own attitude, I sought answers from a clinical psychologist.

The local psychologist I talked to suggested falling out of love can be a form of trauma and every person processes it differently. In my case, ripping off the bandaid and moving on is easiest, but for others, communicating and working through a problem is best.

In the end, it is clear there is no single school of thought. Everyone has their different reasons and all them are valid. So whether you are bored like myself or you just got cheated on, any rationale is good enough.

‘OlliOlli2’ skates its way to success austin Miller | @AMiller_DE Skateboarding games kickflipped their way into obscurity after dominating everyone’s original PlayStation in the early 2000s.

The “Tony Hawk Pro Skater” series defined the childhood of many young boys, making them buy a board and pads for the first time. Then, the “Skate” franchise grabbed the torch in the late 2000s, being a more realistic skating-sim, but devolved into the jokiness of “Tony Hawk.”

However, “OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood” has found a way to freshen the skateboarding genre.

“OlliOlli2” is a 2D game, where players ride their boards through a downhill jam. They will grind down rails and jump off ramps. Sounds pretty standard for a skateboarding

game, but “OlliOilli2” makes every trick matter.

The game is all about linking together combinations of tricks and getting high scores. Each kickflip, heel flip and ollie adds up the combo counter, with harder tricks giving more points. Being able to link the terrific tricks with the rails sends your score over the moon. But now, with the ability to manual— riding on just the back wheels— players can keep their streaks going in stretches without rails or ramps.

It may sound easy on paper, but “OlliOlii2” is no walk in the skate park.

Not only do players control when they jump, but they also have to stick the landing by tapping the X button just before hitting the ground. It is a hard mechanic to comprehend at first, but eventually becomes muscle memory. Grinding must also be landed in a similar fashion. Instead of hitting X, skaters have to hold

down on the left analogue stick, but at the last second in order to get a speed boost.

Hitting that grind boost is paramount, because some rails go on and on, and players will lose all of their momentum and fall off.

It has high rewards for high risks, and an adrenaline shot of speed provides each level with enough risky business to make Tom Cruise dance around in his socks and underwear.

There is a distinct learning curve, which is more like a 50-foot ramp with explosives on the end. This is not a game where you can just start it up and get the hang in an instant.

Players will fail a lot, but a quick tap of the triangle button refreshes the skater and course.

As tracks get more complex, players’ thumbs and joysticks are in for a workout. Each trick sends the left thumb into a kind of frenzy. It jerks around like a golf ball hit into a

bathroom, while the right one sits fairly motionless. The thumb stick wishes it was wearing pads and a helmet.

The controls are simple and easy to learn, even though they feel unnatural at the start.

But once players get into the groove of the game, they feel more like Tony Hawk. Being able to complete a level in one long combo is such a feat once first accomplished, but becomes habitual once gamers get comfortable on the highway to the danger zone.

“OlliOlli2” is greatly re-playable because there is always a way to improve your score. Swapping a double kickflip for a single could be the difference in a great four star or a boring one star run. As well as each course having specific, difficult challenges to accomplish.

My only complaint with this game is the amount of levels.

There are 25 amateur levels

spread across five zones. Some levels go through ancient Aztec monuments and others go through a rollercoaster park in a big city.

Then there are another 25 pro levels going through the same areas.

“OlliOlli2” can’t be completed in one sitting, but more levels would have made me book a longer stay in Olliwood.

There are obvious comparisons to be made to the “Trials” series, swapping motorcycle obstacle courses for devious skate parks.

Both games may be similar, but stand out independently. “Trials” is all about getting through a stage as quick as possible, and “OlliOlli2” is about doing it in style.

“OlliOlli2” is unlike any other skateboard game ever made, and with its predecessor, is the best to come around since “Skate 3” in 2010.

It is one of a kind and is one of my favorites of the year so far.

‘Get Hard’ is a stupidly, fun comedy Jacob pierce | @Jacob Pierce1_DE I have never found Kevin Hart’s brand of comedy funny. The man is amazing in small doses. “This is the End” and “40 Year Old Virgin” show off his comedic ability. But his stand-up and starring roles prove to be problematic and stereotypical.

Hart also rarely stars with anyone of talent.

“Get Hard,” (Rated R; 100 mins) directed

by Etan Cohen, is saved by Hart and Will Ferrell’s collective performance.

Millionaire James King, played by Ferrell, is going to jail for fraud and has 30 days to get his life in order. King realizes he will never survive in prison unless he prepares for the worst.

Enlisting the help of small time car wash owner Darnell Lewis, played by Hart, he spends the

month getting ready for the slammer.

Along the way, the two become friends and realize someone close to King framed him.

Ferrell himself has quite a few missed opportunities. With hits like “Anchorman” or “Step-Brothers,” shooting blanks like “Land of the Lost” and “The Campaign” do not mean much. Yet, every “Megamind” level film makes you wonder if he has lost it. This film is a little reminder of his movie saving talent.

“Get Hard” is stupid. It shows levels of moronic ideas only expressed in films like the “American Pie” spinoffs and Hart’s 2014 film “Ride Along.” The jokes are offensive at times, and the villain plot twist is as subtle as a bull in a china shop. Yet, this idiocracy floats away with the tag team performance of Ferrell and Hart.

This movie would be nothing without these two actors. It would be a ship without

a captain, hitting every rock on its way home. The two have an oddly magnificent chemistry. Hart plays the straight man to Ferrell’s ridiculousness, and their banter makes the flick funny.

For the most part, the jokes land perfectly. For how much the movie relies on nauseating prison rape quips, every other joke works. Knowing both actors love of improvisation, the good laughs probably come from the two just riffing—all of the offensive qualities originating in the script. The film provides virtually constant laughter for the entire 100 minutes.

To not talk about the prison rape jokes would downgrade how off-putting they are. In any jail story, the topic needs to be brought up.

With how prevalent it is behind bars, it would be weirder if ignored.

But the times “Get Hard” makes the topic a

joke, it is an outdated viewpoint only thrown out by stereotypical frat guys. The kind of outlook only movie-goers who think Seth MacFarlane is the edgiest and funniest man alive will like.

“Get Hard” reeks of obviousness. It could never reach anywhere near being a good movie, because it hates even the thought of a curve ball. Every stereotype and contrived thought you had about the movie from the trailer, is true on so many levels. The best comedies, and even regular movies, are ones with surprises.

Watching this movie is a little like eating at a buffet. Nothing you will get is prime cut food. But if you know what is in store, a good time can be had. Hart and Ferrell’s performances alone make this worth watching. Only on DVD or Blu-Ray though.

Do not spend $9 on this.

Alumni challenge Hinson, recruits have his back aaron graff | @Aarongraff_DE There are bandwagons and debates for everything in sports.

In March, five SIU men’s basketball players announced they will transfer at the end of the semester, leading to some fans, including former players, calling for coach Barry Hinson’s job. “[People calling for my job] are going to have to put up with me for at least three more years, because I have a contract,” Hinson said. “People that call for my job, they’re calling for a lot of people’s jobs. I’m not a quick fix. I never have been and I never will be. The only heat I feel is the heat I put on myself.”

The first three transfers, freshman guard Chaz Glotta, redshirt freshman guard K.C. Goodwin and junior guard Jalen Pendleton all made their decisions based off playing time.

Hinson said he was honest with them about the time they would get and they made the choices on their own.

Some are skeptical of that based on verbal commits from guard Mike Rodriguez and forward Rudolfs Stradnieks within a week of the first two transfers, because of the lack of scholarships that would be available if the players who transferred were still there.

“You look at the timing of the first two transfers, and then two guys committed right away,” 1988 to 1991 forward/guard Erik Griffin said. “It kind of makes you wonder, if everyone

l uke n ozicka | @LukeNozicka SIU men’s basketball coach Barry Hinson calls out plays March 6 at Arch Madness in St. Louis during the Salukis’ 56-45 loss to Wichita State.

could stay, how would those guys be able to commit right away?”

Freshmen forward Jordan Caroline and guard Deion Lavender were the next two to announce they were transferring. Caroline said he wanted to play at the highest level possible.

Lavender said he was not always happy in Carbondale and after his close friends left, it was the nail in the coffin.

S arah g ardner | @rabbitearz Barry Hinson sits in the team locker room March 5, after the Salukis defeated Missouri State at Arch Madness in St. Louis.

Q

Caroline was first on the team with 6.2 rebounds a game and second with 9.2 points a game.

Lavender started 13 games. He averaged 6.6 points a game and recorded 26 assists and 14 steals.

Griffin said the number of transfers could affect recruiting.

“Changes obviously need to be made,” Griffin said. “If you’re a player and you’re looking for a school, are you really going to go to a school where two starters just transferred?”

However, Griffin said Hinson has done something right since he started coaching at SIU. “He’s entertained the media,” Griffin said. “He’s an entertainer.”

Former Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and NBA player Chris Carr said he does not appreciate some of Hinson’s comments to the media. He said if someone made a reference to his child as a puppy dog to be trained, as Hinson did after a 73-65 loss to Murray State on Dec. 17, 2013, he would not want his child to play for that coach.

“If those are the kind of things being said to the media, I think one would have to question what’s being said at practice and in locker room settings,” Carr said.

Carr said if he was a prospect today,

he would consider what kind of player he was, but would likely not want to play for SIU. He led the Salukis to three NCAA Tournament appearances from 1992 to 1995 and had a six-year career in the NBA. Carr said he is sure Hinson is doing his best to make the program good, but knows whatever he is doing is not positive.

“It can’t be with the amount of kids that are leaving the program,” Carr said.

Guard Mike Balogun was one of two players to transfer after last season.

He said the decision was already made

for him. He said it is unfortunate Hinson keeps playing with young men’s lives and it seems he’s giving up on them too early.

“You have to take the good with the bad,” Balogun said. “If someone has a bad streak, work with them and believe they’ll get better.”

But the past is in the past, and the future sticks by the coach.

Rodriguez said he could tell who was happy and who was not happy on the team when he made his official visit March 26. He said all blame should not be put on the coach because Hinson cares about his players. “[Hinson’s] been treating me like I’m already on his team,” Rodriguez said.

“Showing me love, pushing me to finish strong academically.”

Rodriguez promised next year’s team will have a better record than this season’s 12-21 finish.

He said the comments bother him, but he has his future coach’s back.

“I committed here and I’m going to stick with it, and I’m going to help this program,” Rodriguez said.

Griffin said every school has a bad recruiting class, and that it takes at least five years of building to earn a postseason nod. He said it will take the next coach more than five years because Hinson is taking steps backwards.

Griffin and Carr both said the majority of former players they have talked to agree on the matter.

“It kind of stinks that a program that was so prominent at one time has fallen on such hard times,” Carr said. “With the new facilities and everything that’s going there, you would think it’d be at a different level. But it’s not.”

DE Spor ts Bark March Maddness ends Monday with the NCAA championship game. Wisconsin and Duke square off for all the glory. Which team wins and why?

Aaron Graff - Sports Editor

Wisconsin wins because of experience. Duke beat Wisconsin by 10 earlier this season, but that was before Rasheed Sulaimon was dismissed. He scored 14 in that game.

Thomas Donley - Sports Reporter It’ll be Wisconsin. Bo Ryan has his team playing too well to get beat by anybody right now.

Brent Meske - Sports Reporter Wisconsin wins it all. The Badgers will have crowd support after giving Kentucky its first loss of the season.

Matt Wells - Sports Reporter Wisconsin should win the NCAA championship because of its versatility on offense and its defensive prowess.

Tyler Davis - Campus Editor Duke will win because it is more talented and determined. The Blue Devils have been arguably the best team throughout the tournament while Wisconsin has won four of five games by single digits. The Badgers will run out of steam.
