SIU police launch investigation after graffiti incident at Faner Hall

ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Students walking to class Monday may have seen a series of messages written on the walls of Faner Hall. The campus police department launched an investigation after they were notified of the estimated $3,000 in damages, SIU spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said. She said the individual or individuals involved, if discovered, may face criminal charges for the graffiti, which is considered criminal damage to state property. Messages included, “Riot Proof...We’ll See,” on the east side of Faner Hall and, “You are not a loan? All Money to the administration,” on the building’s northwest end. Another read, “Debt rules everything around me, monthly, monthly bills y’all, May 2nd.” Goldsmith said the university is paying attention to social media and other outlets to see if any consistent messages show up across the board. She said the university has found no reason for individuals to be concerned. “We don’t have any reason to believe at this point that there is any particular focus to that particular message but we will continue to pay attention,” she said. Brad Dillard, associate director of facilities at SIU’s Physical Plant, said his staff hopes to have the vandalism removed by the end of Monday. This story will be updated as more information becomes available. Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE SIU Physical Plant workers attempt to scrape off a sign Monday morning that was glued to the east side of Faner Hall. The sign read, “Riot Proof...We’ll See,” which was found Monday along with other graffiti.

Campus community’s Students demand search for response to racism Africana philosophy professor ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Seventy percent of faculty and 77 percent of students believe racism exists on campus, according to a straw poll conducted this month by the Daily Egyptian in response to recent racial incidents on campus. The anonymous poll, which ran April 15 through April 18, collected 1,293 responses — 44 from faculty and 1,249 from students. “I am a faculty member who has, on several occasions tried to bring up the issue of racism to my administration (Director and Dean) only to be disregarded,” one respondent wrote. “My program has very low inclusion of people of color and women, and yet, nothing is done. Racism is institutional, and it is personal at this university ... This threatens our students safety and feelings of belonging.” Others who commented defended the university. “I’ve personally never seen any sort of racially charged incident take place on campus,” one student wrote. “I think the university does more than enough to make sure we have an inclusive campus.” Sixteen percent of faculty and 19 percent of students who responded said they do not feel welcome on campus.

“I have friends that are scared of going to the dining hall because of the looks they get, people are constantly whispering names like “monkey” and “ape” under their breath,” another wrote. “Students and faculty has [sic] made it very clear that minorities are not welcome here.” And that perceived racism doesn’t just extend to American students, one person wrote. “I am an international student and most of the time in campus I feel that white people don’t like me and want to avoid me,” another said. Others said it seems the university only addresses racism between black and white students. “Latinos experience racism here too and are left out of these talks,” a student said. “Inclusivity should include all people of color not just African Americans.” This survey was conducted after a student living in Brown Hall made a video relaying racism she experienced in her dorm earlier this month. In response to her video, which has since gained more than 150,000 views, interim Chancellor Bradley Colwell sent out a number of emails addressing the racism, saying the university is investigating the event.

TIERRA CARPENTER | @TierraMC_

About 20 students gathered Monday for a sit-in in the lobby of the Chancellor’s Office at Anthony Hall where they demanded the university resume a search for a professor who specializes in Africana philosophy and AfricanAmerican philosophy. Johnathan Flowers, a doctoral candidate in philosophy from Oak Park, said the department has been trying to get a professor in this position for the last 10 years, and this is the first year the administration had approval to conduct a search and interview applicants. But Flowers, who is on the hiring committee, said the administration cancelled the search this month because they say the hire would not increase enrollment or the amount of majors. “To cancel it right before we were going to have on-campus interviews is suspicious at best, and an example of institutional racism at worst,” Flowers said. He said another reason university administrators have given for not going through with the hire is the Illinois budget

impasse, although the new position was approved during the third month of the impasse. SIU spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said a number of faculty searches have been put on hold because of “the lack of a state appropriation in the current year and a proposed 20 percent cut in next year’s appropriation.” “These include a number of high priority positions as determined by the deans,” she said. “Overall, we have not filled more than 100 positions due to the state budget impasse.” She said this does not mean the positions won’t get filled, but they are on pause until Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic-led Legislature agree upon a state budget. “The last [departmental review], which happened about three years ago, indicated the department needed an Africana specialist in order to remain competitive overall, and it also needed an Africana specialist to increase the diversity of the department of faculty, which is all white,” he said. “It’s all white, all male except for one woman.” Flowers said his goal is to get this

professor hired and then help other departments in similar situations. He said having a professor that specializes in Africana and AfricanAmerican philosophy would serve all students. “An Africana hire would enable white students to understand their own white privilege, to understand what people are talking about when they say that America is organized around white supremacist ideologies,” he said. “It would enable them to understand why students on this campus feel accepted but not welcomed. It would enable them to understand things like black lives matter, and it would enable them to understand what role they can play in pushing back against these kinds of institutionalized oppressions.” Bryce Pulley, a junior from Marion studying philosophy, said he agrees that having a professor in this position would help with racism on campus. “The primary problem with racism, and just in general any kind of bigotry, is a lack of understanding and just flat out ignorance,” Pulley said.

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Devin Hunter, a senior from St. Louis studying linguistics, gets his head shaved by Ashley Comerford, an employee at the Sport Clips in Marion, on Monday during a fundraising event for St. Baldrick’s Foundation in the pavilion behind the Student Services Building. Participants in the fundraiser donated money toward childhood cancer research and then shaved their heads. Comerford said this is the first time she has participated in this event and hopes she can again in the future. “The world isn’t such a nice place anymore,” Comerford said. “It’s great to see people out here in their free time doing something good for other families.”

Kyles said one of his instructors from high school was recently rediagnosed with breast cancer, which took an emotional toll on him.

and Undergraduate Student Government — was held outside Student Health Services and raised $2,344.06 in donations. Joe Schneiders, who was one of the 11 students, lost his grandfather to skin cancer five years ago and his mother’s friend currently has stage four cancer. "People should be involved because younger kids should have a fulfilled life just like everyone else and it’s unfortunate that they can’t because of certain health issues," said Schneiders, a freshman studying sports administration from Chicago. Brandon Kyles, a sophomore studying journalism from Country Club Hills, said people must be aware of the ways they we can help this cause. "The fact that you can donate a

Members of the Black Male Roundtable visited students at the Rebound High School in Carbondale to bridge a gap between the SIU and Carbondale communities. "[BMR] came to talk to our students who are working on their GED or high school diploma about going on to college and what it's going to be like to be an incoming freshman and what they should prepare for," said Sandy Snowden, Rebound's program coordinator. "I hope to set up another meeting with these guys." Rebound High School has more than 80 students, including dropouts and adults without diplomas or GEDs, from across southern Illinois working to advance their education.

Black Male Roundtable, an RSO that informs and empowers black men at SIU through meetings and demonstrations, visited the school to answer questions about anything from college life to politics, said BMR president Michael Smith "Why do you go to SIU? I saw on Facebook that they're racist," a Rebound student asked Smith, a junior from Chicago studying political science. Smith responded to the student by trying to toe the line between respecting each political opinion and giving an honest assessment of the situation. The conversation turned to the presidential election, weighing the pros and cons of each candidate — something a political science major has no problem with. This was the first meeting

between the two groups of students, and Smith said he would like to keep the dialogue open for students interested in collegiate opportunities after graduation. Planning for this discussion began in the fall when Smith approached Carbondale Community High School principal Daniel Booth. "They were very persistent," Booth said. "I thought they should talk to middle school students to get them think about the future early. I said, it may be good for you to talk to the students in Rebound, because they're in a place where they are thinking 'what is next.' They were very outreach oriented, and I respected that."

SIU student groups plan state budget rally for Wednesday in Springfield DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK

Members of the campus' two student governments — Graduate and Professional Students Council and Undergraduate Student Council — will travel Wednesday to Springfield to protest the state's budget impasse. The organizations and other students will head to the Capitol to "show our continued disappointment in the State of Illinois Government for their inability to support higher education," according to a GPSC flyer. GPSC President Brandon Woudenberg said faculty and students from all over the state will be at the event to support MAP grant funding and the "generalpass-the-budget battle cry." MAP grant funding was fronted by the university and without a state budget, SIU President Randy Dunn has alluded to students potentially paying back the grants. After the 12:20 p.m. rally,

Imaging the brain

students will meet with their local legislators to talk about the university. For more than eight months, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic Legislature have been unable to negotiate a state budget, leaving universities and colleges without funding since July 1. Illinois' longest budget impasse to date has left its higher education institutions in a dire situation, which has some universities considering shutting down programs, cutting staff or ceasing operations all together. The student governments are still looking for 80 people to sign up because two charter buses were purchased for the trip. Students can miss class to join in the rally by reserving a spot here.

Luke O’Neill | @lukeoneill_DE Blake Cain, manager of the SIU multisensory lab, examines a manatee brain on Monday in Life Science II building. Cain inserts electrodes into the brain to research how sensory imagery integrates into the brain as part of his autism research. “You see what electrodes respond with which parts of the brain,” Cain said. “You do this for the whole brain and you have an entire map of the brain. It’s cool stuff, you can actually measure where in the brain things are being integrated.” The lab will begin testing on live mammals in November.

Police investigating violent robbery in northwest Carbondale BILL LUKITSCH | @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

A male was attacked and robbed of personal property by a group of men while delivering food to a residence in northwest Carbondale on Saturday.

Correction In Monday's edition of the Daily Egyptian in the article “SIU student meets with Rauner to discuss legislation that could affect transgender student,” Rainbow Cafe should have been described as a youth center.

Carbondale police responded to a report of a robbery at 10:05 p.m. Saturday in the 600 block of North Carico Street. Officers learned on scene that the victim, a male whose identity had not been released by police as of Monday,

was walking back to his car after attempting to drop off an order when he was attacked and robbed by four suspects. The suspects are described by police as black males all in their late teens or early 20s and about

5-foot-11 to 6 feet tall. One was reportedly wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and another was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, police said. Anyone with information this incident is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police

Department at 618-457-3200. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

STUDENTS

Daily Egyptian poll that collected 1,249 student responses, 77 percent of students said racism exists on campus. Flowers said his group will continue to hold demonstrations until administrators agree to their demand. "It’s a demand they should take seriously if they are concerned about the kinds of incidents of racism and systemic oppression that are being manifested on this campus," he said. "We will continue to restate our demand in large and small ways, letters, sitins, protests, whatever it takes to get the hire search resumed." Joshua McGowan, a sophomore from Chicago studying radio,

television and digital media, said he will continue to participate in demonstrations for this cause. "Why are students being charged the same tuition if all of these programs are being cut and all of these teaching positions are being eliminated"" McDowan said. Donald Chamberlain, a graduate student in social work from Carbondale, said his group is tired of dialogue after years of talking. He said he will continue to support this cause because he cares about SIU. "This is your university," Chamberlain said. "This is your SIU, and you can’t complain

about things you’re not willing to take actions to change." Flowers has a meeting scheduled with interim Chancellor William Bradley Collwell for Tuesday to further their discussion and hear the university’s position on the issue. “Even understanding their position does not change the fact that we will continue to demand this hire," Flowers said. "We are willing to meet with the administration and hear their rationales, but we will not change our position on the demand."

CONTINUED FROM

He said as a white male, he sees how it could help people understand different people and cultures. This comes during a time when racial tensions on campus are high. Debates about races began after Leilani Bartlett, a freshman from Chicago studying business, said in a Facebook live video that she experienced racial comments in her residence hall, Brown hall. The video spurred a response from the campus' interim chancellor and an April 12 demonstration of about 100 people. In a recent

“I can say though that the way the university responded was the best way possible at this time and moment,” a respondent wrote. “The school can not risk anything at this current time, and drawing a large amount of attention towards the school at this time can cause

financial issues. If it was at any other time I would say that the university handled it inappropriately but at this time, and what we are going through as a school it was the appropriate response.” Another commenter defended Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump amid allegations of racism against his supporters. “I think that people need

to stop being so sensitive and taking everything so seriously,” one student wrote. “I also believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should not be punished or yelled at for it. People need to grow up and realize that there are other opinions than their own and need to stop throwing hissy fits about it. Also, IT IS NOT RACIST TO TALK ABOUT

DONALD TRUMP. He is a serious presidential candidate and people have the right to support him if they want.” The university also held a listening session last Wednesday to discuss racism on campus. “I think everyone should be required to be educated on cultural differences that occur around the world and especially on campus,”

one person wrote. “These things are important when SIUC is such a diverse campus. I hope you will truly consider this, because ignorance fuels this hate. And you can get rid of that fuel by educating everyone.” Anna Spoerre can be reached at aspoerre@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Trump support moves from politics to hate DAILY EGYPTIAN EDITORIAL BOARD

As members of a media organization, the students in the Daily Egyptian newsroom understand the importance of the First Amendment. We understand the importance of having the ability to say unpopular things, to challenge the powers that be. We understand the importance of speech that shakes our comforting notions and takes us out of echo chambers of our own ideals. We do not, however, understand the point of saying things to just to offend or hurt other people. The swastika that students say was drawn on a chalkboard in Neely Hall on Monday is an example of the latter. To make matters worse, the words “Trump” and “build the wall” were next to it, which poorly reflect the presidential candidate. It’s amazing these people don’t realize that for every “go back to Africa” spouted and every “border” drawn between the U.S. and Mexico, whether on campus or on the Internet, they are hindering the legitimacy of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. They are spreading more negativity about Trump. While it is protected free speech, students should feel protected in their dorms. We don’t think this person should be criminally charged for it, even if it is idiotic and childish. If discipline was handed down, it’s not like sensitivity training or cultural education would trample upon his or her rights. To try to legitimize disdain for Mexican immigrants — illegal or not — is racist, whether or not you think Trump is. And don’t make Monday’s incident about politics. Because it is not. It is about promoting ideas that divide the student body in a time when the campus community should rally together against a historic state budget impasse or increased crime, nearly all of which is perpetrated by non-students. So please recognize that we do not want to censor political dialogue. We do not believe Trump supporters are inherently racist. We do not think his name should be wiped from the ballot because some racists follow him. That would contradict our very ideas of freedom.

Our love of freedom of speech is the reason the DE did not cover the chalking of Trump’s name over campus. It wasn’t news that Trump has supporters. Despite the controversy of his campaign, it is perfectly legal to support him. No one on our editorial board voted for him in primaries, but we would not ostracize someone if they did. And that’s because we simply understand how important freedom of speech is, if it is done respectfully. It is the alarmingly large amount of his supporters — people who draw swastikas and hold negative thoughts about Mexican immigrants — who make the connection of Trump and racism so popular.

“[Monday’s incident] is about promoting ideas that divide the student body in a time when the campus community should rally together against a historic state budget impasse or increased crime...” - DAILY EGYPTIAN editorial board

The point of politics is to bridge gaps between philosophies and decide what is best for our country. But discussion has to be civil. We cannot be afraid of messages that do not correspond with our own. But we also cannot use the political theater as a shield for racist and offensive speech. Swastikas and the n-word have no place in serious political discussion. Once we realize that, maybe America will have a chance to be great again.

Letter to the Editor: Did somebody say “riot”? MAY 2 STRIKE COMMITTEE MAY2STRIKE@GMAIL.COM

Editor’s note: The May 2 Strike Committee members asked to remain anonymous for this column. There seem to be mixed reactions about some graffiti that showed up on campus, like a ghost from decades ago. One wall of Faner Hall declared “Debt Rules Everything Around Me, monthly monthly bills y’all.” Indeed: the university today runs on student debt, whereas in other developed countries, university education is seen as a right and tuition is free or nearly free. It was the second wall — disappeared by the administration with a swiftness that would make any totalitarian government jealous — that caused more of a stir. On the east side of Faner Hall it said, “Riot proof? We’ll see.” These four words touched a nerve. This makes sense. This university is shaped around the trauma of the riots of 1970 — riots sparked as most riots are, as a response to police tear gas. Faner was built as a monument to the administration’s fear of student power breaking out of established channels for their discontent.

It only makes sense that the student energy, repressed for more than 40 years, would have that event as a reference point. Today, students are waking up once again as it becomes more and more clear to them (and everyone else) that those who hold power are wielding it against the rest of us. As things stand, young people are entering a world of environmental destruction and a repressive police state ruled by an oligarchy beholden to corporations. They enter this world saddled with debt, holding in their hands degrees that have lost all meaning. This is the context in which we have called for a student strike on May 2. This context — this world we are being educated to inherit — is what is important to us, not some graffiti. But let’s just say outright: there are absolutely no plans for a riot on May 2. As Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “riots are the voice of the unheard.” Our plan is to make ourselves heard with our voices, our bodies and our joyous creativity by interrupting the deafening pace of everyday life. We don’t plan on breaking anything other than the miserable routine.

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Jeff Cloud, who works in SIU’s Physical Plant paint shop, attempts to clean off graffiti Monday morning from the west side of Faner Hall. Cloud used a power washer with a sand blasting unit attached to remove the spray paint, which read, “Debt rules everything around me, monthly, monthly bills y’all, May 2nd.”

We ask you to join us in this, assured that our aim is to intervene in the slow motion destruction of university education, of the lives of people around the state and of our collective future. The May 2 student strike is against Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget fiasco. It is against the administration, which consistently prioritizes their own lavish salaries and pensions over the cost of education for students. It is against the way university education is being reshaped into job training for corporations — abandoning its role of empowering people to create a world that responds to their needs for goodness, justice and beauty. We ask you to read our Call to Action, and decide whether you too are fed up with the grievances we’ve listed. We ask you whether any of the demands we articulate point in the direction of the world you want. If so, then this strike is for you. Why a strike? We think this is the wrong question. Why continue on as normal? It is the normal, everyday life that has us paralyzed. The reason things have been allowed to get so bad is because we haven’t found the collective power to resist those in authority. Nothing will change unless we learn how to stop the everyday life they control, to call their power into question through finding our own, and to take back the conversation from the crappy options they’ve forced on us. So for one day, on May 2, let’s do it. Let’s stop the machine, look at one another, and ask how we get out of this mess together. A riot isn’t what we have in mind, and we’re not sure exactly what the graffiti writers were thinking. Maybe they were just trying to get your attention. If so, we hope it worked. With love, May 2 Strike Committee Contact us at May2Strike@gmail.com.

Salukis’ second-leading tackler to transfer EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

Redshirt junior safety Kenny James will transfer from Southern Illinois, head football coach Nick Hill announced Monday. Hill said the coaching staff decided

it would be in the best interest of both James and the team if he were to find another school. "We're going to support Kenny and help him," he said. "But there's a certain way you've got to act to be on this team, and we've got a bunch of guys that are

The one that got away EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

The MLB Draft stole away a player who could have been a member of the improving Saluki baseball program, which has nearly doubled its win total from last year. The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Logan Soole as an outfielder in the 23rd round of the 2015 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Instead of coming to SIU, he passed on the scholarship to play baseball at the pro level. Before being drafted, the Louisville, Co., native signed his national letter of intent to become a Saluki on Nov. 12, 2014.

during his senior season and picked up six wins with a 0.77 ERA while striking out 73. He hit .518 and led the team with 22 runs batted in. The Coyotes went 16-5-1 his senior year but didn't advance out of the first round of the playoffs. Before the draft, Soole was rated the 19th-best player in the state of Colorado and named to the allregion team as a senior. He was assigned to the Arizona Fall League D-Backs for rookie camp and batted .261 while collecting 36 hits in 33 games with 10 runs batted in. Soole is currently assigned to the fall league team in short season.

“Every kid grows up wanting to play pro baseball and when I found out I had been drafted it was some of the best news I had gotten.” - Logan Soole

"The campus was beautiful and I pictured myself there. I really liked coach [Ken] Henderson and [hitting coach Ryan] Strain a lot," he said via direct message on Twitter. "I felt really comfortable there and, at the time, thought it would be a good fit and given me a great chance to play. While an education is important, I really felt I needed to jump right into pro ball because there might not have been another opportunity down the road." Soole said was eating pizza with his girlfriend when he got the news and said he was elated to find out he'd been drafted. "Every kid grows up wanting to play pro baseball and when I found out I had been drafted it was some of the best news I had gotten," he said. "I wasn't really nervous but I knew the level of competition was going to be greater and I'd have to work hard to be successful." He said the decision took a lot of thought, but he felt like he made the right one. "I discussed the situation with my parents and coaches and after a lot of consideration I decided that signing with the Diamondbacks was the best decision for me," he said. "Both parties were all for it and we carefully discussed all the options. Up until the draft I planned on fulfilling my commitment to SIU, but [MLB] was a shot to fulfill my dream. He said he'll be making about $850 per month as he chases his dream. Soole attended Monarch High School in Louisville. He was a pitcher and outfielder in high school and

Soole said he didn't have much interaction with SIU coaches because everything happened so fast, but he did inform them of his decision. "It was such a hectic time for me," he said. "As soon as I got drafted I was on a plane to Arizona and into a baseball season the next few days." But SIU baseball has played well without Soole. The Salukis are 20-131 in 2016 after a 2015 season in which they won only 12 games. Henderson said although he understood Soole's desire to play ball, he was disappointed in the decision. "There are very few kids who can come out of high school and are physically ready to play at that level," he said. "Logan would have been a really good player for us and would have been productive because he's such a talented kid." Since taking over as manager in 2010, Henderson has had four follow the same path as Soole took passing up college. Henderson said losing Soole was surprising, but the Salukis will be fine going forward. "Coach Strain went out to Colorado but by then we knew there was no changing his mind. It was disappointing but from a recruiting standpoint we did our best to fill our other needs," he said. "The outfielders we have right now have done a tremendous job for us and we look forward to what they'll bring the rest of the season."

bought in, and we felt it was best if he transferred to another school." James, who was second on the team with 107 tackles in 2015, did not play a snap for the Salukis in the spring. He was serving a suspension after an arrest for three counts of aggravated

third-degree assault in his hometown of Columbia, Mo. Hill said he would meet with James on Monday to discuss potential transfer destinations for the No. 4 tackler in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

"He's not leaving on bad terms or anything," Hill said. "We just felt like it was best for him to get a fresh start." Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307

Ranking the MVC’s Baseball Stadiums THOMAS DONLEY AND SEAN CARLEY @TDONLEYDE | @SCARLEYDE

If one takes a tour of Missouri Valley Conference baseball stadiums, he or she would see a wide variety of settings. After taking into account stadium capacity, amenities, atmosphere and player facilities, here's what we, along with the Saluki baseball players, are the best (and worst) stadiums in the Valley: 1. Hammons Field - Missouri State It's a tight race between Hammons Field and Horner Ballpark for the top spot, but the outside training facilities push Hammons Field over the top. In addition to the 7,986-seat stadium itself, there's separate facilities for the Bears to train in just outside the right field wall. Sure, it’s a bit unfair that some funding comes in because of the Springfield Cardinals playing there; but overall, it's no wonder why MSU plays there as well. Every team that plays at Missouri State gets a taste of professional baseball in college.

Horner Ballpark

Hammons Field

2. Horner Ballpark - Dallas Baptist As far as ballparks where the studentathletes are the only ones to play there, Horner Ballpark takes the cake. A relatively new stadium — built in 2013 — the home of the Patriots is the perfect example of smaller being better. "Their facilities are incredible," junior right fielder Jake Hand said. "The conditions are usually pretty consistent." The 2,000-seat facility features a dark red brick architecture, a personal favorite, creating an intimate atmosphere for the 5,319-student school. Plus, with closed circuit televisions and audio broadcasts describing the action in the concourses, fans are never too far away from the game. 3. Dozer Park - Bradley Another entry on the list that is shared between university and minor league team is Dozer Park. Splitting its usage between Bradley and the Peoria Chiefs, this stadium held the 2015 Midwest League All-Star Game.

Dallas Baptist Athletics

While the stadium itself is nice and offers many amenities such as a playground in center field, the 7,500seat complex seems almost too big for the Braves. 4. Itchy Jones Stadium - SIU "The Itch" as it’s called by Saluki fans is the MVC’s most laid back stadium. Between the Hill along the right field line where fans can enjoy their favorite alcoholic drinks and the pavilions on the third base side complete with tables to picnic on, fans and families alike can enjoy an SIU ballgame. 5. Eck Stadium - Wichita State Eck Stadium is not the most aesthetically pleasing on the outside, yet the 7,851 packed seats behind home plate create a close-knit atmosphere for Shocker fans. Even if the fan experience isn’t the best, junior pitcher Chad Whitmer said he enjoys playing at Wichita because of Eck Stadium’s facilities. "They’ve got a nice place there," he said. "Big stands with a great field." 6. Bob Warn Field at Sycamore Stadium - Indiana State While Indiana State fields a strong baseball team, its field itself is not as strong. Recent renovations such as new seating, which boosted the capacity up to 1,000, and a larger press box have improved the home of the Sycamores, but the decision to install a FieldTurf infield and leaving a natural grass outfield creates a two-tone field that just doesn't look good. Despite this, the host of this year’s MVC tournament is pleasing to the players, giving it the nod over Illinois State's stadium. To read more, please see www. dailyegyptian.com
