Man shot during robbery in southeast Carbondale BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

A man was shot Saturday night during a robbery in Carbondale’s southeast side. The victim was a passenger in a vehicle stopped in the 900 block of East College Street when an armed motorist exited a separate vehicle and spoke with the victim, according to a Carbondale police news release. The suspect attempted to rob the man, a struggle ensued and the victim was shot once in the leg, police said. The victim, whose name was not released as of Sunday afternoon, was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at Carbondale Memorial Hospital, police said. Police received the initial report at around 7 p.m. Saturday that a male gunshot wound victim was being treated at the hospital, which led to the investigation of the incident. He has since been released from the hospital. The suspect remains at large and is described by police as a black male, 25 to 30 years old, about 6-foot-1, weighing roughly 180 pounds. The suspect’s vehicle is a gray, four-door 1980’s model Chevrolet, possibly a Caprice, police said. The shooting is the third gunviolence episode reported by the Daily Egyptian in the past three weeks. The first Carbondale homicide of 2016 occurred in the early morning hours of Easter Sunday in the 400 block of West Walnut Street. Police

responded to a shots-fired call about 2 a.m. on March 27 to find Tim Beaty, 41, killed in his home by a stray bullet. A second victim, Nehemiah Greenlee, was treated at Carbondale Memorial Hospital for a non-life-threatening injury. Three suspects have been apprehended on gun charges in connection to the shooting of

Greenlee and are incarcerated at Jackson County Jail awaiting preliminary hearing. No charges had been filed in relation to the homicide as of Sunday. Police are still searching for Daniel Holmes, 21, of Carbondale, as the fourth suspect wanted on felony gun charges for alleged involvement in the Easter shooting.

Holmes is also suspected to have participated in a separate incident at Evolve Apartments at SIU, an apartment complex near campus, that sent one 19-year-old male victim to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the lower back. Police consider Holmes armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about

these incidents is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-COPS (2677). This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Corps, is not the only homeless student veteran. The junior from Thompsonville studying computer and electrical engineering is helping establish a transition home for veterans so they don’t have to experience what he did. “This time three months from now, I’m going to be able to walk out on my balcony and fish out of the moat,”

he excitedly said of moving into the transition home. The large six-bedroom brick house, at Giant City and Pleasant Hill roads, is secluded from the noise of the city. Such noise can affect veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder, said Anthony Pilota, who is part of the Veterans Affairs work-study program at the university’s

veteran services office. Some rooms will be rented out at low prices on a first-come, firstserve basis, and some will be open for homeless veterans, said Pilota, a junior from Homewood studying general management. He said he hopes camper hook-ups will also be installed so veterans with

RVs can move onto the property for a small cost. “We found that a lot of veterans were sleeping in their cars until they got their first full GI Bill payment, which usually was about two months after school starts,” Pilota said of the bill that covers education expenses for veterans.

“It came as quite a shock when I didn’t get any money at first,” Summers said. “When my GI money finally came in that I was counting on, instead of $1,800 it was $700 and that’s just not enough money to get all the things I need.” He said in all the advice he got about transitioning from the military, no one ever told him how long it took to receive government payment. On any given night, about 48,000 veterans in America are without a home, the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates. Summers, who enlisted in the military right out of high school, said he served for five years then moved to Carbondale, where he was unable to get a job because he had no permanent address. Without a job, he couldn’t afford housing. Though he knew of homeless shelters in the area, Summers said he didn’t want to take up a bed someone just evicted or living on the street might need more. He said he would spend most afternoons finishing schoolwork in the library before returning to his 1995 white Jeep Grand Cherokee. He showered at the Recreation Center and his meals consisted of dollar menu items at fast food restaurants. He said he would spend his nights browsing Facebook on his phone or walking around Walmart, where he usually parked his car. “There were a few mornings where you wake up very, very cold and it takes a minute to get moving,” he said. In the mornings, he’d park as close to campus as he could, then longboard to classes because he couldn’t afford a parking sticker. “[Homelessness] was uncomfortable, it was unpleasant, but it wasn’t really keeping me from getting things done,” Summers said. “The hard part was just flat out not having enough money and having to choose between having food and getting things like books.” In late February, Summers said a teacher persuaded him to go to

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Military veteran James Summers, a sophomore from Thompsonville studying computer and electrical engineering, poses outside his Jeep Grand Cherokee on Thursday in Carbondale. Summers was homeless and living out of his Jeep for the first month at SIU after finishing his service contract in Sigonella, Italy. “I was counting on the GI Bill for my federal benefits,” Summers said. “But what I didn’t know was that you only get paid after the fact. So that was the first hit where I was like, ‘What am I going to do?’ … So I lived in the Jeep, showered at the Rec Center and ate a lot of fast food. … There were a couple of days there where it snowed really bad and I’d wake up and couldn’t even feel my feet. Like you’re just frozen.” Summers said although the situation was unpleasant, he did not believe it was dire enough to live in a homeless shelter. “In my mind, me living in my Jeep in a Walmart parking lot is me getting by. Me going to a homeless shelter — that’s tantamount to admitting defeat,” he said.

University Housing where they waived his security deposit and application fee and set him up to live at Evergreen Terrace. Summers said he had no idea the university would do that. Though he said the university was helpful in getting him an apartment, Summers said he is excited to move into a home where he will be one of the six residents who help run and maintain the house. The 38.8 acres of land also comes with a fishing pond, barn and fourcar garage. Right now, the veterans are figuring out how to cover the $20,000 down payment on the house they plan to move

into in May. A gofundme account was set up in late February to raise money, and Pilota is hoping the house gets alumni support. Summers said at first he was hard on himself for being homeless and was surprised to find out his situation is common. He said many veterans are reluctant to ask for help and have similar independent attitudes. “It’s hard to understand how much money you need saved up because it’s going to take a long time to actually get … all the paperwork filed and everything moving like it should,” he said. Summers said he wants the home to become a place for veterans to hang

out after class or on weekends, where they can build a larger community and make more veterans aware of available resources. Veterans often miss this sense of community after leaving the military, said Garett Gill, a junior from Huntington Beach, Calif., studying accounting. “I didn’t think I’d ever find [community] again,” said Gill, who will be one of the home’s permanent residents. “I’m so very happy and blessed that I was able to.”

Chancellor urges students to join racial conversation, plans for more inclusive future ANNA SPOERRE | @ANNASPOERRE

Interim Chancellor Brad Colwell sent an email Friday to students, faculty and staff concerning recent racist issues reported on campus. Colwell said the recent events tell of a need to have what he called “a critically important conversation about race and inclusivity on campus.” In a Facebook video shared Monday, Leilani Bartlett, a freshman from Chicago studying business, said she experienced racial comments in her residence hall, Brown hall. In the 3-miunute 26-second video, Bartlett, who is from Chicago and studies business, said racial slurs were used against her and she was told to "go back to Africa" by white students who live in her dormitory. The video has gained nearly 150,000 views and more than 5,200 shares on Facebook as of Sunday evening. In response, Colwell sent out a first email Thursday, saying the university is investigating racial

issues, but wasn't specific whether it concerned Bartlett. In the most recent email, he said the university is taking the situation seriously but cannot release details of the investigation for the sake of the privacy of those involved. Colwell said the campus community must make sure everyone at the university feels welcome. “This is a conversation that is happening on campuses across the country, because the issues we face are not isolated to SIU,” he said. The chancellor urged the students and employees to contact the Office of Diversity and Equity if they notice SIU’s discrimination policy — “all students, faculty, staff and guests should be able to enjoy and work in an educational environment free from discrimination and harassment” — is being violated. Bartlett said the racist comments came while students were discussing their support for Donald Trump, a Republican candidate for U.S. president. Because of Trump's views on illegal immigrants, who

he called murderers and rapists in a June interview, and civil rights investigations into his housing properties, some students on campus associate support for the businessman with racism. After on-campus chalking in favor of Trump appeared, students have taken to social media to discuss the controversial candidate. Bartlett said in the video that she has no issue with people having their own political views, but the students in her dorm were outright racist in their speech. "You're not going to make me feel uncomfortable at a school I pay $22,000 to go to," Bartlett said. "I went down there and I confronted all of them. Y'all want to have an open discussion and an open forum about black people? Let me pull up a seat." In the meantime, Colwell said while the university has taken action to improve the campus’ diverse campus climate, it must do more. Colwell said staff in the Center for Inclusive Excellence and the Office of

Diversity and Equity are developing ways to increase conversations pertaining to the importance of valuing and respecting diversity. The Office of Diversity and Equity has also been asked to conduct a campus climate survey in the fall, he said. Colwell said he recently had a conversation with members of the Black Faculty and Staff Council to discuss ideas moving forward that included mandatory training for search committee members, a campus diversity plan and the creation of an advisory diversity council. “I urge everyone to be a part of this important conversation — a conversation that requires listening as well as contributing, respect and civility, and a commitment to fulfilling our historic mission as a university committed to diversity and inclusion,” he said.

The Hill Gang

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Jeff Wright, of Murphysboro, one of the founding members of “The Hill Gang,” motions while talking with Jeff Hayes, a senior lecturer in aviation management and flight, Sunday during SIU’s 5-1 loss to Indiana State at Itchy Jones Stadium. Wright, Hayes and Dan “Red Dawg” Abbott, who has been attending Saluki baseball games since 1976, created the group in 2013 during SIU’s last season at Abe Martin Field. The group can be seen grilling on the hill behind Itchy Jones Stadium, with a Saluki flag waving from a pole attached to Abbott’s car. Throughout the 2013 season, the three grilled food and gave it away for free to anyone who wanted some. During the middle of the season, they began collecting donations for the food and were able to raise $500, which was used to help with the renovations of the old field and the creation of Itchy Jones Stadium. Last year, the group raised $1,000 and is close to raising $1,500 this season, all of which will be donated to the Dugout Club, a fundraising group where all the money raised goes to the baseball team. “Some times we have 100 people up here on the hill,” Wright said. The crowd is usually a mixture of local fans, SIU alumni and the family members of current Saluki baseball players. “Some years I wish we could redshirt parents,” Abbott said. Last week, during SIU’s series against Jacksonville State, family members from the opposing team became interested in the group and brought a pork loin to be grilled and shared with “The Hill Gang.” “People will come up here and ask me which kid is mine out there on the field,” Abbot said. “I say all of them, I am a huge fan.”

Headliners are no-shows at concert on campus BILL LUKITSCH AND LUKE NOZICKA DAILY EGYPTIAN

A concert scheduled at Shryock Auditorium ended hours early Friday evening after neither of the headlining artists appeared. Chicago rappers Lil Bibby and G Herbo were supposed to be the main attraction for the on-campus event, which has been rescheduled for May 6. More than 800 people bought tickets for the concert, said Ryan Reed, one of the show’s organizers. “For the people who came, we just want to show them that we care about them,” Reed said. Lil Bibby was double booked for a show in Chicago and G Herbo had to postpone because of a family medical emergency, Reed said. Concertgoers were notified of the change in lineup about halfway through the show, he said. Reed said there was a “phenomenal” response from the crowd considering the situation and expressed gratefulness that no one reacted violently. A number of attendees vocalized disappointment while leaving the 1,100-occupancy venue despite reassurance that the tickets would be honored at a future date. “They gave us our tickets back and it’s rescheduled,” said Jahlil Mullins, a freshman from Chicago studying automotive technology. “I just feel like we expected more.” Some also took to social media to voice discontent. “SIUC bogus as hell neither Bibby or G Herbo show up,” a commenter on Twitter said.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE A member of the SIU police department stands on a stairway as concert attendees disperse Friday night at Shryock Auditorium. Attendees said the concert was canceled when Chicago rappers Lil Bibby and G Herbo failed to show up at the event.

When asked whether people who cannot attend the later date will be refunded the face value of their tickets, Reed said he is not sure. “We’re trying to figure that out

now,” he said. The Daily Egyptian's campus desk can be reached at 618-536-3325 or lnozicka@dailyegyptian.com.

Key said his favorite part of working at the circus is interacting with the cats. “I’m so happy every day I get to do that and just be around them,” Key said. “I’ve done the act 3,000 times and I still laugh every day with the cats.” Key has been in the circus business for 25 years and has been working with the cats for a decade. Key said he has decided his tombstone will be a life-size lion.

Romario said the act he and his father perform goes by two names: the “Wheel of Death” and the “Wheel of Destiny.” Romario has been involved with the circus his whole life and travels in the circus with his father, mother and sister. He said he likes travelling and meeting new people.

Leo Acton, the tour guide and circus clown, said there are people from all over the world in the circus industry so someone who works with the circus picks up on a lot of culture. “It’s just amazing to really see the world in multiple ways,” Acton said. “Not only the worlds people bring to our show and they’re a part of our show, and the worlds we get to go see as well as our show.” He said Culpepper & Merriweather goes to smaller communities that are overlooked by larger companies. “We know that there’s great people out there that want to come see an amazing show and deserve some entertainment brought to them,” Acton said.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Jesse Crider, of West Frankfort, hold his daughter Maddyson Crider, 17 months, while Kasey Mezo, of West Frankfort, buys tickets for the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus on Sunday in De Soto. “This is [Maddyson’s] first time at the circus,” Jesse said. He said looking he is forward to seeing his daughter excited.

Leo Acton, the circus clown and tour guide, signs posters during an intermission of the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus on Sunday in De Soto. The circus visits over 200 towns each year. “We play a lot of the same communities,” Acton said, “and folks know that we do this show rain or shine. … There are fewer and fewer big top shows on the road anymore so we really want people to come out and experience our traditions so that they can continue. This is a great part of American history.” Acton has been doing circus shows for 16 years and said he considers his trailer and the circus community home. Morgan Timms @Morgan_Timms

Gorski named next Bradley head coach TED WARD | @TEDWARD_DE

SIU women's basketball associate head coach Andrea Gorski will drop the associate tag from her title and go back to where her collegiate basketball career began all in one move. Gorski will be named the head coach at her alma mater Bradley on Saturday, as first reported by Dave Reynolds of the Peoria Journal-Star. Bradley hired Gorski after dismissing Mike Brooks last month. Brooks compiled a record of 37-84 in four years. She has served the last three seasons as associate head coach at SIU under head coach Cindy Stein. "We're very excited for this opportunity that she has to be the next head coach at Bradley," Stein said in a statement Saturday. "Andrea has been instrumental in our program's success and while we're sad to see her go, we know how much this opportunity means to her." In her three-year span, Gorski helped Stein turn SIU around from going a 5-25 record to a 20-win team this season, earning a bid to the Women's Basketball Invitational. Gorski scored 980 points in her playing career and was named first team All-Missouri Valley Conference in the 1991-92 season. She was elected to the Bradley Hall of Fame in 1996. It will be her first gig as a head coach at the NCAA level, but Gorski does have experience in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Before coming onto Stein's staff, the former Brave was the head coach at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Mich. In her five years as head coach there she led another turnaround, taking a 8-22 team to a 23-11 season in Year Three and earning the school's first ever NAIA Division II tournament appearance. The following two seasons, the team made it as far as the NAIA Division II Sweet 16 and had a No. 4 national ranking. Gorski has 17 years of head coaching experience between the high school, Amateur Athletic Union and college ranks. "She's the kind of coach that is always willing to put in any kind of extra work whenever," junior guard Carlie Corrigan said. "We're definitely going to miss her positive energy and enthusiasm she always brought to practice, but we're really excited what she's going to do at Bradley." No statement has been made if her daughter Kiley will transfer. She was an student assistant the previous two seasons after tearing her ACL her freshman year. The senior guard graduates in May with a degree in Biological Sciences. Ted Ward can be reached at tward@dailyegyptian.com or 618-534-3303

SIU hosts second spring scrimmage EVAN JONES | @EVANJONES_DE

SIU football gave Carbondale fans a preview of the upcoming season in its second scrimmage of the spring season. DuQuoin High School hosted the first scrimmage in March, so this was the first action in front of a home crowd for the Salukis since November. Here are the takeaways from the night: Quarterbacks starting to lead pack Two quarterbacks stood out in Friday's scrimmage. Transfer senior Josh Straughan ran the faced-paced Saluki offense to near perfection. He finished the first half with 163 yards and two touchdowns on three drives. In the first drive of the night, he went 7-8 for 67 yards and a touchdown to senior wide receiver Connor Iwema. Sophomore Sam Straub also scored on his first drive, a 20-yard touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Darrell James. Straub was on the field for five of the 19 drives. He finished the day with 124 yards two touchdowns and an interception on the last play of the game. Fast-paced offense improved with points on board In the first scrimmage, the Saluki offense didn't put points on the board other than four field goals from senior kicker Austin Johnson. He made a 20-yard field goal and missed a 45 yarder wide right. In Friday's scrimmage, the offense scored on its first two drives of the night and had a total of six

touchdowns, including a 97-yard drive led by Straub. The rushing aspect of SIU's offense was also on display Friday. The first four touchdowns were through the air, and the last two were scored on the ground. There were six rushes that went for more than 10 yards, including a 55-yard run by sophomore running back Daquan Isom. Also coming out of the backfield were SIU quarterbacks. They combined for 67 yards on 18 rushes. Wide receiver breakouts Four of the six touchdowns were scored by wide receivers on plays

over 20 yards. Senior wide receiver Israel Lamprakes hauled in several big catches, including a 37-yard touchdown from Straub. He finished the game with four catches and 72 yards. Iwema also had the first touchdown of the night, a 21-yard pass over the middle of the field The biggest play of the night came after a scramble by Straughan. He was able to escape out of the backfield and connect 75 yards with James on his second touchdown. Center to Quarterback disconnection The amount of mistakes made in

Friday's scrimmage were minimal. But there were at least six snaps back to the quarterback that were either mishandled, at the quarterback's feet or over his head. Two of the bad snaps resulted in turnovers. The Salukis have one center listed on the current roster, but also have six guards. The Spring Game for the Salukis will be held at 2 p.m. April 23 at Saluki Stadium. Evan Jones can be reached at Ejones@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3304

SIU men’s tennis sends Rigby off in style AUSTIN MILLER | @AMILLER_DE

SIU men’s tennis not only sent Illinois State home with a loss, but they sent one of the greatest players in program history out in style. The team (12-3, 1-0 Missouri Valley Conference) defeated Illinois State (8-11, 0-1 MVC) 4-3. Senior Jonny Rigby won his singles match against Redbird senior Jakub Eisner (6-4, 6-0). He won his 66th doubles match, the most in program history, with junior Piotr Baranski against the Redbird team of Eisner and sophomore Andres Boers. The team won all three doubles matches. Rigby, who's 142 combined wins is No. 2 all-time at SIU, closed out his home SIU career in front of his parents. Karen Rigby, Jonny’s mom, said she and her husband, David, have made the 15-hour trip to Carbondale from their home in Lancashire, England twice. "[Tennis] has given him chances he would never have had, he would never have been here if he had not been a tennis player," Karen said. Coach Dann Nelson said he is sad to see Rigby go, especially

because he had him play in the No. 1 position against the opposing school’s top player for most of his four years as a Saluki. Nelson said Rigby has continued to improve at every step since his freshman year, but that hasn’t been the only thing that sticks with him.

State, with the Birds winning their last meeting 4-3 on April 4 in Bloomington. He said the team knew the score would probably end 4-3. "On a personal level, it was really pleasing to win my matches and to see the support from everyone who came out," he said.

“The greatest thing about Jonny is that he’s a great human being, he’s a great person,” he said. “I love having that kid around, so it’s going to be sad to see him go and graduate.” - Coach Dann Nelson

"The greatest thing about Jonny is that he’s a great human being, he’s a great person,” he said. "I love having that kid around, so it’s going to be sad to see him go and graduate." Jonny, a three-time singles and two-time doubles MVC AllConference team member, said it always tough to play against Illinois

Karen, who played club-level tennis for most of her life, said there is no tennis comparison between herself and her son anymore. "I don’t think I’ve beat him since he was about eight," she said. With Rigby playing his final match at University Courts, the tennis program may have as well.

Both the men’s and women’s teams could be cut next season as a result of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget. Nelson, who is in his 11th season as head coach, said he doesn’t want Saturday to be their last match. "Why would we get rid of this? This is something that we’re all bleeding for, we all work so hard for this program," he said. "This program’s important and we do things the right way. That’s what you want. We do well in the classroom and we do well on the court. Isn’t that what you want for a college program?" Rigby, who graduated in December with a degree in management, said he hopes the university can find a way to keep the program going. “For me, [the program] changed my life, gave me a great opportunity and I think it would be a shame if the other guys didn’t get to see out their four years here," he said. The Salukis play next at Wichita State on April 17 and Drake on April 22 before starting the MVC Team Championships on April 29.
