a idan o sborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Denton Giovenco, a senior studying Forestry, spits during the tobacco spit contest at Saturday’s 63rd Annual Midwestern Foresters’ Conclave. “We usually meet people [at the conclave] that you wouldn’t normally meet unless you work with them,” Giovenco said. “We talk with people on the other team more than our own team.” Giovenco also competed in the match split event in which the contestant uses an axe to try and split a match standing vertically on a log.
Young lumberjacks showcase skills evan Jones | @EvanJones_DE The sound of chainsaws cut through 3,100 acres of forest in Makanda on Saturday. The crowd roared as the last competitor finished the heat. Eleven colleges from across the Midwest gathered Saturday at the Touch of Nature Environmental Center in Makanda to compete in the 63rd annual Midwestern Foresters’ Conclave. Men and women from schools as far north as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and as far east as Columbus, Ohio participated in a wide variety of traditional lumberjack games. Axe throw, log roll, bolt throw and underhand chop were some of the events performed. This was the first time in six years the SIU Forestry
club has hosted the event. “There are around 15 to 20 events and they all have historic precedence in forestry and surveying in this country,” said Charles Ruffner, a professor of forestry. “A lot of the chopping and cutting events date back to the 1800s, where men would be working out in the woods cutting different log sizes.” Beer and beards were a common sight Saturday and one of the bushiest beards belonged to Ted Craig, a six-and-a-half foot tallsenior from Vienna studying forestry and resource management. Craig competed in the bolt throw, log roll and tobacco spitting competitions. “You take a big ‘ole dip of Red Man, make sure you keep all the juices in your mouth and spit it
towards a piece of paper 10 feet away from you.” Said Craig, “You have to make sure you watch the wind.” An estimated 200 participants chopped, cut and spit in hopes of taking the top spot for each event. They gathered around a bonfire the night before, sharing stories and making new friends. SIU won the competition 18 years in a row during the ‘90s and early 2000s. This year SIU finished second in the team standings as the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point won the team title. “This is one of the only sporting events where the loudest cheer you will hear is for the guy finishing last,” said Brad Sorgen business manager at Stihl Inc. Stihl Timerbersports, one of the
main sponsors for the event, held its own competition after the contest. Camera crews from ESPN filmed the event, which was a qualifier for the Collegiate Series that will be aired June 6 on ESPNU. Conclave team captain Eric Baumberger, a senior forestry student from Cape Girardeau Mo., represented SIU in the Stihl competition held after the conclave events ended. The winner qualifies for the national event held in New York state, and the winner of the national event becomes part of the professional lumberjack series. “I can’t take time off of work for nationals, so hopefully I don’t do too well” said Baumberger, who is an assistant natural history biologist at the Missouri
Department of Conservation. Aaron Hovis, of Three Rivers Community College won the overall Stihl competition. Baumberger is one of the few SIU students in the Forestry department who already has a job in the field. Many students used conclave to network and speak to future employers. “I think all of the schools brought their best teams, and this was one of the largest events I’ve been to,” said Morgan Schulte, the president of Forestry Club. “Since I’m a senior, this is my fourth conclave. We all worked hard and it’s nice to see it pay off.”

String of auto thefts hits Carbondale tyler davis | @TDavis_DE Five vehicles on the east side of the city were stolen in a 24-hour period starting April 13, according to the Carbondale Police Department. Sgt. Corey Kemp said three motorcycles and two vans were stolen, and the vans were recovered in St. Louis after being set on fire and abandoned.
@dailyegyptian
The vans were taken from the 1200 block of East Grand Avenue, two of the motorcycles were taken from Aspen Court Apartments and the other motorcycle was taken from the 600 block of East Park Street. Nick Williams, a junior from Steger studying civil engineering, said his bike was stolen from outside his Aspen apartment Monday. “It happened within a two hour span of
me leaving and me coming home,” he said. “I couldn’t believe my eyes.” He said he came home from Morris Library and his 2008 Kawasaki DX10 was gone. Williams said he has been trying to get in contact with CPD to get updates about the investigation but has received no reply. His bike was covered for liability insurance so his provider, Progressive, will not cover any costs for the $6,700 bike.
“I lost almost $7,000,” he said. “Progressive said I was like the fifth person who reported a stolen [vehicle].” Kemp said CPD is working with the St. Louis Auto Theft task force to follow all possible leads on the thefts. This story will be updated as more information becomes available. Aidan Osborne contributed to this report.

No evidence of gunfire found in Lawson Hall aaron graff| @AaronGraff_DE luke nozicka | @LukeNozicka Following reports of gunshots in Lawson Hall just before 9 p.m. on Friday during a talent show, SIU police did not find evidence of shots fired. University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith could not confirm gunshots, but said there was an altercation. The Department of Public Safety found no casings, but did report seeing blood as evidence of an altercation in front of room 171. Several students said they heard shots fired, while others said there was a fight. No injuries were reported. SIU police are investigating and officers walked through buildings near Lawson and evacuated them for safety. The hall was being used for a variety show presented by the Registered Student Organization, Underground Arts, which was concluding at 9 p.m. Destiny McClendon, secretary of Underground Arts, said she is disgusted by reports of gun fire. “I don’t know who started this rumor but there were not guns involved,” said McClendon, a sophomore from Chicago studying fashion merchandising

S arah g ardner | @rabbitearz93 After responding to reports of gunfire at Lawson Hall, police officers converse at the scene of an incident outside room 171 Friday. Officials announced they had not found any evidence of shots being fired, but did confirm blood on the scene as a result of an altercation.
and marketing. “There was an altercation, a physical fight and that was it. People were performing on stage — if there was guns involved, it would have been evident.” She said while setting up the final acts, the room broke out in chaos after one man was jumped by others. McClendon did not know how many people were
fighting, but estimated that more than 100 people were present and the room was filled to capacity. Tierra Carpenter, who attended the event, said she heard a loud noise from what friends told her was a group of people jumping one person. Carpenter, an intern at the Daily Egyptian, said after hearing the noise people hid under their chairs during the
fight, but does not believe the noise was gunfire. “There’s a lot of speculation right now” about gun use, said Carpenter, a freshman from Lansing studying journalism. McClendon apologized to the university for the incident and said the organization tried to maintain a safe environment without the use of security guards.
“Underground Arts promotes peace and tried to have a safe event, but some rowdy individuals messed that up,” she said. Police taped off the entrances to the lecture hall, and eventually extended it to light poles and trees around the building. SIU’s emergency alert system sent messages at 9:16 p.m. saying possible shots fired and to evacuate the area immediately. At 10:30 p.m. they issued an update saying the area was secure, and the remainder of the campus is open. By 11:30 p.m., an SIU alert stated the building had been reopened despite the ongoing investigation. This story will be updated as more information becomes available. Branda Mitchell, Tyler Davis and Aja Garman contributed to this story.

‘Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2’ falls below stupidity Jacob Pierce | @JacobPierce1_DE With the release of the second Paul Blart film comes one huge question. Has Kevin James ever been funny? If one were to look at his filmography, they would see a huge steaming pile of awfulness, bottom of the barrel stuff. Yet, James somehow gets thrown in with David Spade and Adam Sandler as people with former glory, actors who keep ruining their names with subpar roles. “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” (Rated PG; 94 min) directed by Andy Fickman, shows James was never good, and this is just making him look worse. The jokes fall flat even for children, Blart never comes off as a likeable character and the movie makes absolutely no logical sense. Blart, played by James, is back, and this time, the stakes are much higher. After the events of the first movie, the mall cop loses both his wife and his mother. He feels alone, the only person in his life being his daughter, played by Raini Rodriguez, who will also be leaving soon for college. Both are invited to a security convention in Las Vegas and Blart looks at it as the last vacation the two can have. But like the lead mall cop says, security never takes a break. The hotel the two are staying in is taken over by an art thief, played by Neal McDonough, who kidnaps Blart’s daughter. He must once again go above and beyond the call of duty to save the hotel’s art and his daughter.
Not to use a dad joke here, but if you look up the definition of useless, unwanted and idiotic in the dictionary, a poster from the Paul Blart series will be there. The sequel somehow exceeds the original in all the worst ways. “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” being made is interesting on its own. No one clamored for this film. The original was made six years ago, and while it made more than its budget, most critics hated it and fans did not think a sequel was needed. The only reason this got made was because James is buddy buddy with the film’s producer, Sandler. Both actors’ current stench surrounds this movie. What is so disappointing is the minuscule potential it holds, which serves twofold for the original. This plot is straight from a 1980s, 1990s action movie. “Cop or authority figure gets stuck with a bunch of thieves and has to play reluctant hero.” It is “Die Hard.” A director who understood the glory and hilarity of these 1980s and 1990s movies could make a flick both genuine and interesting. Underneath James’ clumsiness, lies a plot made for directors like Edgar Wright of “Hot Fuzz”, or Phil Lord and Christopher Miller of “21 Jump Street.” They know how to make a beautiful action movie tribute that shows the magnificence of the genre and its many pratfalls. Their film would be pay homage, while also poking fun. Not be a series of
fart jokes and failed attempts at physical comedy. Is it possible James and the Blart character got worse? The role was never one people could connect with, which is a huge problem in comedy and in fiction in general. No matter how reprehensible the protagonist is, the viewer needs to emote with them. Even a character as horrible as Walter White makes you care about him. This main character just comes off as annoying and Blart’s success is never really believable, which becomes a huge problem when the whole plot revolves around it. He ends up being too busy fainting because of a supposedly funny illness or being creepily overprotective of his daughter to come off as an interesting character, even by a comedic standard. The one semi-good side of the movie comes in the form of Neal McDonough. An actor most have never heard of, but will know when they see him, he brings a level of elegance and charisma to anything he does. For a good performance by him, look up the third season of “Justified.” Here, he just serves as a lost possibility. He brings the same charm and ruthlessness that he does to all of his villain roles. Yet, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” cannot keep a good thing going. The character is brought down to a level where not even a child could find him frightening or threating. While this movie was not as bad as “50 Shades of Grey,” it definitely tried to gobble up the cake.

Love at first swipe DE After Dark Branda Mitchell | @BrandaM_DE To swipe left or right, that is the question. In January of this year, mobile devices accounted for 55 percent of Internet usage, according to an article by CNN. Increasing mobile access directly correlates to increasing usage of apps, so it means more people are connecting through dating sites like Tinder. Initially, the idea of online dating seemed comical to me. I thought it was for old people who didn’t go out on Saturday nights anymore, but more and more young people are doing it. So, I decided to try it and see what all the hype is about. The following is what I have found: OKCupid OKCupid is the best of them all. It is based on a mathematical algorithm to best match you with others dependent on the way you answer various questions. It gives you a match and enemy percentage to gauge how well you and another person might get along. You can browse profiles and compare your answers to questions you both have responded to. Unlike some other sites, you only need to provide basic information. There is an option to
elaborate on your answers, but it isn’t required. The site seems like a good mix of people looking for different things, whether it is hooking up for the night or a serious relationship. The free version is more than enough to meet and talk to new people. This app has a pretty even blend of locals and students on campus. The amount of polite messages heavily outweighed the creepy ones, so I spent less time than I did on other sites filtering through strange messages like, "You are so beautiful I had to leggo my eggo." Tinder Tinder is free, requires nothing but Facebook and is full of people. Tinder is the place to be if you’re just looking for casual fun. While some people meet others who are interested in serious relationships, most people are using Tinder to hook up. Tinder works by linking to your Facebook account and posting pictures you already have. You then get matched based on distance or a location you choose. Swiping left means you're not interested and swiping right means you like the person's profile. The coolest feature Tinder has is its mutual match. Everyone you match with thought you were good enough to swipe right for, so you’re always off to a good start. There is a limited amount of matches each day, so don’t
get too right-swipe happy. You can pay for extra stuff, like the ability to take back an accidental swipe. In the ‘Dale, this one is perfect if you're looking for a student. Most people you match with are close by and in college. Plenty Of Fish Plenty of Fish, or POF, is for the more serious online dater. I did not like this one. It requires a short novel for a description and a variety of lifestyle questions that you have to answer. People who are looking for a quick hookup aren’t going to bother with the hour-long process of setting up a resume. The perk of this one is it is completely free. You can play the game of swiping like Tinder, where you will be notified if you have a mutual match. You can also search based on distance or other requirements you may have. In Carbondale, this one seems to be more popular among the locals rather than the students on campus. The weird level of this one was very high. One guy actually tried to sell me a dog. Although I only used three apps, there are a ton of different ones to choose from. Other popular apps include Grindr, which caters to gay and bisexual men, Down, which lets you scroll through your Facebook friends to look for mutual matches or Match, a mobile version of the Match.com website.

Softball ends, careers begin for seniors Brent Meske | @brentmeskeDE Editor’s note: The following is the first of a three-part series detailing the next steps for the Saluki softball senior class. Diamonds last forever, but diamond dreams often last only four years. Outfielders Meredith Wilson and Kara Kimball, both majoring in marketing, will hang up their cleats after the final Saluki game of the season and move on. Wilson said having the same major allows them to help each other in the job searching process. “We always joke that we spend too
much time together,” she said. “We have had a majority of our classes together, which has been really nice.” Wilson, a native of Granite City, said she will move to St. Louis after graduation in pursuit of a marketing job. Kimball said she is looking for a job in sales as well as marketing, but nothing has come up yet. Kimball said when she looks back on her time at SIU, she will remember playing in the conference championship game her freshman year. For Wilson, it will be the life lessons of dealing with adversity, failure, success and a team atmosphere.
n athan h oefert | @nathanhoefertDE Senior outfielder Kara Kimball leads the post-game hand shake after the 6-7 loss against St. Louis University April 6 at Charlotte West Stadium. Kimball was a walk-on in 2011 and has scored 60 runs in 162 career games played for the Salukis.
Wilson and Kimball said the relationships they have built with teammates will be one of their favorite memories. “We do a pretty good job of not getting on each other’s nerves,” Kimball said. “We’re basically together all the time with practices, games and traveling. Everyone enjoys being around each other and getting to know each other beyond softball.” The seniors have not just bonded with teammates, but also with their coaches. Kimball said it is a bond other athletes might not get with their coaches. “Coaches sometimes just want the players for four years and then, ‘Oh yeah you are done,’” she said. “That’s not the way with the coaches we have.” Coach Kerri Blaylock said their work ethic not only made them better softball players, but will make them successful professionals as well. “They’re those type of people that give everything they have,” she said. “They spend extra time hitting and doing the little things that they need to to get better.” Both players came to SIU in the summer of 2011, but Kimball came as a walk-on. Blaylock said Kimball is one of her favorite walk-ons of all time, and she has earned a scholarship through her efforts on the field. “She does everything the right way and works really hard,” she said. “She understands the concept of what a good teammate is.” In her career, Kimball has been used primarily as a pinch runner, and has only 1 hit in 14 career at-bats for a batting average of .071. By pinch running, she has scored 60 runs in 162 career games played. Wilson played right away for the Salukis and has started 158 of her 177 games played through four years. This season, Wilson is batting
n athan h oefert | @nathanhoefertDE Senior outfielder Meredith Wilson is congratulated by assistant coach Buddy Foster after an RBI single in the forth inning during the 6-7 loss against St. Louis University April 6 at Charlotte West Stadium. Wilson has started 158 of the 177 career games played for the Salukis.
.208 with three home runs, 6 runs scored and 7 runs batted in. Blaylock said Wilson has played much better since she returned on April 3, from an ankle injury — which occurred on March 21 against Wichita State. “I thought she was slumping a little at the plate but the time off has helped her,” she said. “She still doesn’t have great mobility but for hitting I think she’s come back stronger.”
Before the injury, Wilson was batting .157 with eight hits in 21 games. After missing six games, she is batting .350 with seven hits through 10 games played. The Salukis have 11 games remaining before MVC Tournament, which begins May 7 in Wichita, Kan. Check next week for a story featuring senior pitchers Katie Bertelsen and Alyssa Wunderlich.
SIU men’s tennis done after day one Matt Wells | @mattwells_DE
n athan h oefert | @nathanhoefertDE Freshman Alex Pozo serves the ball during practice Tuesday at University Courts. On Friday, Pozo and sophomore doubles partner Michal Kianicka won the No. 1 doubles match 8-6 against University of Maryland Baltimore County at the Missouri Valley Conference Team Championships at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis.
Saluki men’s tennis (6-16, 0-4) lost 4-1 to Maryland Baltimore County (12-6, 1-0) Friday in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis, ending SIU’s season. The Dawgs’ lone team point came in the No. 2 singles match when sophomore Michal Kianicka defeated Retrievers’ junior Melker Svard 6-3 and 7-5 in a straight-set victory. The sophomore was not done and continued his winning into the No. 1 doubles match. Kianicka teamed with freshman Alex Pozo to beat UMBC’s senior Daniel Gray and junior Alex Drean 8-6. It takes two doubles wins to earn a team point. The Retrievers won the other two doubles matches and scored the point. In No. 2 doubles, senior Szymon Opieczonek and junior Jonny Rigby lost to Svard and junior Jaan Kononov 8-7. Freshmen Daniel Martinez and Max
Phipps lost their No. 3 doubles match to Carter and sophomore Eliott Loubatie 8-3. “It was really tough to lose that doubles point, because the momentum kind of shifted in the other direction,” coach Dann Nelson said. The team’s other singles either resulted in losses or went unfinished to UMBC once the Retrievers scored their fourth team point. In the No. 1 singles match, Rigby’s match against Kononov went unfinished with scores of 4-6, 6-3 and 2-1. The No. 4 singles match also went unfinished. Opieczonek lost to Drean, 6-4, 3-6 and 5-1. Martinez lost to junior Justin Carter in the No. 3 singles matchup, 6-1, 6-4. Pozo lost the No. 5 singles match to Loubatie 6-3, 4-6 and 6-2. Phipps lost the No. 6 singles match to Gray 6-3, 6-2. UMBC lost to Wichita State on Saturday in the conference semifinal match, 4-2. Wichita State lost the championship
match to Drake 4-3. Going forward, Nelson said the team has to grow up, because of its inexperience. The team has only one senior, one junior, one sophomore and six freshmen. “We played the toughest schedule we have ever played since I’ve been here as a coach, with six freshmen,” Nelson said. Despite winning only six matches, Nelson said the team defeated tough teams such as Northern Illinois and former nationally ranked DePaul. “We played eight or nine nationally ranked teams this year and played them all pretty tough,” Nelson said. He said the team must improve its singles play. “With the tough competition, we were trying to show our new guys this is where the program was headed,” Nelson said. He said he hopes the team continues to play nationally ranked programs. “We might get beat up a little bit this year but we must improve because that’s where we want to be,” Nelson said.
