Tree shatters window

VOL. 100 ISSUE 85

Video suggests physical action against violence at May 2 protests TYLER DAVIS | @TDavis_DE

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Keith Robertson, the maintenance supervisor at Alleman Properties, saws a tree trunk into smaller, more manageable portions Wednesday after Tuesday night’s thunderstorm uprooted it on the property at 323 W. Walnut St. in Carbondale. “That darn storm blew this tree over yesterday,” said Robertson, a Johnsburg native. Taylor Johnson, a senior from Morris studying marketing, is one of eight tenants living in the damaged house. “We thought there was a tornado happening,” Johnson said. “One of the girls woke up from her nap and we checked her room and the tree had shattered her window. It was pretty scary.” Robertson said it will probably take the maintenance crew four or five days to clean up and replace the house’s siding.

Player’s Ball is back TIERRA CARPENTER | @TierraMC_

Kappa Alpha Psi’s 38th annual Player’s Ball is returning to SIU on Saturday after about a four-year hiatus. Player’s Ball is a large party that brings in college-aged people from across the midwest. It was held regularly until the fraternity that presents the event was made inactive roughly four years ago. Kevin Gettis, a senior from Bellville studying history, said KAP decided to bring back the event because it’s something students enjoy. Gettis said proceeds from this event, as well as other paid events by the fraternity, will go toward Hadly and Havyn Noto, twin girls who suffer from mitochondrial myopathy. “Their parents can’t afford the wheelchairs,” Gettis said. “They can’t afford the handicap accessible vehicles, so every single thing we’re doing is trying to help their parents fund the things that they need.” As for the party itself, Gettis said some extra steps were taken to provide a safe environment for expected crowd

of more than 2,000. He said there will be metal detectors, pat-downs, 27 SIU police officers, two emergency medical service vehicles, 20 volunteers and 20 chaperons. Some of the volunteers and chaperones include alumni, faculty and administrators. The large-scale event policy suggests safety measures because of the prevalence of non-SIU students, who have caused problems at past Player’s Balls. “We aren’t trying to have people overbearing,” he said. “They’re literally just there to help people get in, and our volunteers will make sure that we’re getting people to where they need to go.” Player’s Ball took about six months to plan, costing roughly $35,000 and has sold out in the past. This year’s party is expected to fill SIU Arena’s capacity of 2,500 people. Gettis said they were able to afford the event through contributions from alumni, previous fundraisers, ticket sales and Undergraduate Student Government. Gettis, president of USG, said he always heard of Player’s Ball, and wanted to be a

A video on Twitter that shows a man holding guns and threatening to retaliate against violent protests May 2 is being investigated by police. The 30-second video posted by @058_powermoves about 3 p.m. Tuesday shows an unknown male threatening to retaliate against any white students who act violently May 2. A caption with the video said the message goes out to students who plan on “purging” and harming black students May 2. The video, which was retweeted nearly 400 times, comes just days after a YouTube video encouraged white students at SIU to beat and lynch black students May 2. Both videos have since been removed. “I wish a m----- f----- would slide on me talking about they’re gonna hurt me May 2,” the male in the Twitter video said. “I’ll blow your s--- back.” In a conversation via direct message on Twitter, the account holder, who did not give his name, said the guns in the video are fake and he has no plans to commit violence. “I’m not a killer so I don’t care,” he said when asked about students being afraid after seeing the video. “I’m not attacking no one, I’m not racist.” The account holder said the video was taken in Chicago and when asked if he was an SIU student, he simply replied “First amendment.” May 2 was originally the date of protests against student loan debt and administrators’ “lavish salaries.” A supporter of the May 2 Strike Committee, which organized a strike against normal campus procedures that day, posted a YouTube video using footage from Disney’s “A Bug’s Life” encouraging students to join in the strike.

part of one. “I look at it as the students who never got to experience it,” Gettis said. “So we tried to make it as best as possible.” Gettis said he was able negotiate with administrators, such as interim Chancellor William Bradley Colwell, Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance Kevin Bame and Lori Stettler, interim vice chancellor for student affairs, to hold the party in SIU Arena, after the large-scale event policy in 2012 restricted the Player’s Ball to the Student Center Ballrooms. He said the administration trusts them to have an event with no violence, which is what they plan to provide. “We’re trying to party peacefully,” Gettis said. “We want to be social but at the same time we don’t want any issues to where we can’t have this anymore. … This is something I think we should all have a chance to experience, and I don’t want it to go away based off the current trend.” To read more, please see dailyegyptian.com

A Band-Aid on a bullet wound

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Donald Chamberlain, a master’s student in social work from Carbondale, describes issues related to the state of SIU’s racial climate Wednesday during a town hall style meeting in Morris Library’s Guyon Auditorium. “If none of this stuff is being brought to the administration then we’re wasting breath,” Chamberlain said. “Administration should be here and they should be taking real action. And my fear is that, and it’s not even just a fear, but I know administration is not going to address what’s going on on campus. … And then school is going to be over and it’s all going to die down and then we’re going to start a new school year with the exact same problems. And all that speaks to is that they’re putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound instead of really going in and fixing what’s the problem,” Chamberlain said. He also said to address a problem, one needs to admit that there is a problem. “And I don’t think the university has done that,” he said. “This university has a problem with race and diversity.”

Jared Stern wins USG presidency BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Jared Stern has been selected to replace Kevin Gettis as the next president of Undergraduate Student Government. Stern, a junior from Vernon Hills studying aviation management and flight, ran unopposed to lead the university’s undergraduate student body for a term lasting a single academic year beginning in fall 2017. He won with 78.4 percent of votes, and the rest went to write-in candidates. “I’m extremely honored and excited to take this position,” Stern said after winning the election Wednesday. A lack of student involvement was apparent in this year’s voter turnout, as less than 1,000 of enrolled students – or 6 percent

of the student body – participated in the election. Stern, who campaigned on the promise of increasing student participation in USG, said he will take active measures to bolster student support as soon as he takes office. Currently, Stern estimates about half of USG’s 48 senate seats are unfilled, and only about 17 to 20 of the appointed senators attend meetings regularly. He also named race relations as a top priority on campus, and hopes to use the influence of USG to promote diversity and inclusivity through open forum discussions similar to those organized by the administration. The newly elected leader of the undergraduate student governing body said he plans to “hit the ground running” by filling the

empty student senate seats and holding those chosen accountable for their actions. Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3329.

Naomi Tolbert elected SIUC Student Trustee BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Naomi Tolbert will be SIUC’s next student trustee. The four-way race ended Wednesday with Tolbert claiming victory by majority over candidates Joshua Bowens, Joseph Schneiders and Kimberly Woudenberg. She will take over the position on July 1, replacing current trustee Allen Shelton. After the weeklong campaign period, news of winning the contest came as a shock to Tolbert. “It’s mind-blowing,” she said shortly after learning the election results Wednesday. “It’s an exciting experience to be elected to such a high position and have the support backing behind me.” Tolbert, a junior from Carbondale studying political science and international affairs, said the current climate at SIUC

YouTube account “ATO AZO” then used the same “A Bug’s Life” footage and dubbed it over with racist speech advocating the beating and killing of black students. “Bring your bats and leave your wallets,” an anonymous voice said in the video after claiming it was made by the Alpha Tau Omega

calls for building “opportunities for students to have conversations” about race on campus. “I think one thing we can do is open up ways for all students to improve their intercultural experiences and knowledge,” she said. The SIUC student trustee is expected to work alongside the elected representative from SIU-Edwardsville. Gov. Bruce Rauner will appoint one student trustee with voting power on the university’s board of trustees, which the elected student representatives are expected to use collectively. Students were allowed to cast a single vote for any of the four candidates or a write-in candidate via the university’s Desire2Learn platform from 6 a.m. Tuesday through 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Singer comes home with record deal THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE

A native son returns to Carbondale this week. Southern Illinoisan Drew Baldridge will play his first gig in Carbondale since signing his record deal with This Music/ Warner Chappell when he takes the stage at 10 p.m. Thursday at Copper Dragon. "It’s been a whirlwind," said the Patoka native. "We went from just playing in the Midwest to now playing across the nation. It’s very, very exciting. We just broke the top 50 on Billboard for “Dance With Ya” just last week, so to think that you have a top-50 song, it’s pretty unbelievable. It’s pretty crazy. The fanbase has grown so much now."

"Dance With Ya," a saxophoneinfused track about — if you can imagine — dancing with a girl, currently sits at No. 52 on the Billboard Country National Airplay charts and is on its 11th week in the top 60. It is the first single from Baldridge's first full-length album, entitled "Dirt On Us," set for release on June 10. Baldridge, who resides in Nashville, Tenn., brings his smalltown lyrics and a style he calls "funktry" to Carbondale, about 80 miles from the small town where he grew up. "It’s just always great to come home and see familiar faces," he said. "Those are the first people that ever believed in me, and the first people that took a chance and

came out to my shows. It’s really good when I get to come back home and see those familiar faces and get in front of them and play the music that I wrote so long ago and have them know every word and sing it back." Baldridge, who said he loves the college vibe of Copper Dragon, will bring a buddy from Nashville to open for him in Ben Rue. Rue, a native of Silverton, Ore., sings mostly about love both lost and found as he attempts to make a name for himself in Music City. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $7 in advance. Attendees must be 19 or older.

4. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" (2015): This Tina Fey-created show seemed to come out of nowhere, but brings back the beloved ridiculousness of Fey’s “30 Rock.” The cast of this comedy is made up of misfit actors. But this idea, along with the crew consisting of Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess and Carol Kane, lands a misfit family dynamic that adds heart and emotion to this show. While not as poignant as a “Master of None” or “BoJack Horseman,” the ability to be a simple comedy with a lot of small, emotional moments, helps make “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” undeniably entertaining. 3. "Jessica Jones" (2015): It kills me not to put "Daredevil" on this list, but the importance and level of storytelling of "Jessica Jones"

pushes it above the red-suited hero. This show helped cement the quality of the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe. While some of the movies get stuck doing similar things, the Netflix universe has keep relevant and captivating in unimaginable ways.

Here are the 5 best Netflix original series JACOB PIERCE | @JACOBPIERCE1_DE

Original content coming from a streaming service was once a rarity that seemed a waste of time. But after Netflix released "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black," the game was changed. Now Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime all have some of the greatest shows out there. Here are the top-five Netflix original shows. 5. "Master of None" (2015): "Master of None" brushed past many people’s expectations and presented a comedy on par of "Louie." It is a laugh-out loud hilarious show that talks about relevant issues like racial casting and love in the modern age. "Master of None" is a great testament to the level of depth humorous shows can reach.

2. "House of Cards" (2013): "House of Cards" along with "Orange is the New Black" helped cement original content on streaming services. Without either show, it is questionable if Hulu or Amazon Prime would have gotten in the game.

While this show was one of the later of the original Netflix lineup, “Orange is the New Black” has pushed itself to the top. "Jessica Jones" tells the story of victim blaming and rape culture in a way few non-genre shows have. It is a enthralling and haunting tale that will keep even the biggest superhero hater on edge.

This political thriller, based on a British series of the same name, is the first online series to be nominated for Primetime Emmys. Beyond this, the show is smart

on so many levels. This style of tight and layered writing is something many thought HBO had a stranglehold on. 1. "Orange is the New Black" (2013): While this show was one of the later of the original Netflix lineup, "Orange is the New Black" has pushed itself to the top. The series has broken a huge number of boundaries by having most of the lead roles be played by women of all ethnicities. It makes sure these characters are dynamic, flawed and engaging. The writing along with that has been steady throughout, hitting a good level of humor, emotional depth and realism seen in very few shows.

What May 2 really means for campus

TYLER DAVIS | @TDavis_DE

As much as I’d like to, I cannot tell students to come to class Monday and to worry about recent violent threats. Thanks to an anonymous coward, SIU’s recent rocky racerelations have taken a turn toward catastrophe, fear and anger. Threats of lynching from an unknown YouTube user in a nowdeleted video called “SIUC White is Right” has prompted AfricanAmerican students on social media to suggest violent defense. One male went so far as brandishing two guns, which he said were fake, in an also-deleted Twitter video in response to the YouTube post. Some white members of the Carbondale community couldn’t understand how one could post images of guns on social media. But they haven’t had open calls of their group of people to be murdered at a place they call home just for being who they are. As a biracial man, I wish this man wouldn’t go to such lengths, whether he was serious or not. As the Editorin-Chief of the Daily Egyptian, I wish this fear wasn’t prevalent enough to warrant this editorial in the first place. But the fear surrounding Monday is real — I heard it in my bowling class Wednesday. My teacher, tired of inconsistent attendance, made Monday’s class worth 10 percent of our grade for the semester. White and black students alike complained, saying the anticipated tension Monday was far too dangerous to ensure their arrival. But Monday stands as our greatest chance to improve our racial climate. Just don’t feed into the fear. Don’t let the anonymous yellow-belly who started all of this win. While the fear is understandable, I have been in enough situations during my four years at SIU to accurately predict what will happen Monday. Somewhere between a couple dozen to 100 students will walk out of class in response to the May 2 strike against student loan debt — the original reason the date is even relevant. The many white students who have

Sloan Marion | @SketchingBear

black friends will continue to walk alongside them and vice versa. Most of the day will be uneventful because the majority of students understand there is racism on campus and do not harbor ill will toward other races. Regardless of what random video makers state. And that’s the root of the problem. That’s the issue the mystery man behind the YouTube video has manifested. There are people of all races who simply don’t care to interact with other ethnicities and cultures. Instead of investigating, and probably eradicating their prejudices, they let them create a wall of hatred. I know that hate is real because of the amount of times I have heard the word “nigger” on campus and

in Carbondale. This word was said conversationally by people I once called friends. Maybe it was my light skin, or the fact they were around four or five other white guys, but that word was the only way some people referred to black human beings. I would never fight someone because of something they called me, but I’d be sure to let them know why what they’re saying is wrong. And I have done it to nearly 10 different people in my time here. While institutional racism should be fought, it is this interpersonal racism that really harms us. Yes, more classes about black, Latino, Asian and Middle Eastern cultures may foster understanding, but equality and sympathy cannot be legislated. If friends allow and coerce racist

language and stereotypes, nothing will change. The best way to stamp this out is for fellow white people to notice it. I’ve had people stop hanging out with me because I was angry about their use of the word. I’ve had others realize how awful it is and stop using it. Either way, I didn’t hold my tongue. I know dozens of white people who have done this. Unfortunately, it is not enough as some of my friends wait until their white buddies leave the room to express their disdain for the word. We must hold these actions accountable. Similarly, I encourage fellow minorities to understand that some white people do want equality and

racial acceptance at the expense of their own comfort. There are plenty of white allies on campus. It’s time to choose one side or the other — not pro-black or anti-white — but pro-acceptance and antidiscrimination. Until then the things that divide us, such as the cowardice displayed by the YouTube video or the aggression showed in the Twitter video, will continue to do so. Our collective experience will deteriorate as they have over the past few months, and no amount of “listening sessions” by the administration can fix that.

Letter to the editor: Unity, understanding and support are needed to get past racial issues AMELIA KETZLE SIU civil service employee

I applaud interim Chancellor Bradley Colwell and other leaders on campus who worked to get the vile video “SIUC White is Right” removed from YouTube and who immediately denounced it as the very opposite of the university’s values. I’m glad they are working just as hard to find who posted the video and prosecute them, so we can have closure about this. Alpha Tau Omega denies involvement, and if that is true, their name should be cleared. I would expect they would be working as hard as SIU to identify the culprit since it is their name that was tarnished.

Until we know who is responsible, it will be very difficult for our campus to begin to heal from this. Suspicions and tensions are running high in every direction. The creator(s) of the video deliberately used the most violent and terrorizing language they could, conjuring the ugly legacy of post-slavery lynching in America. This was done for no other reason than to strike fear into the hearts of our black brothers and sisters on campus, and it worked. How could it not? This isn’t pretend or something to be easily dismissed. Lynching was a reality in this country not that long ago. The last recorded one was in 1981 in Alabama. Because of this ugly history,

we find it difficult to talk about race, but it doesn’t get any easier by avoiding it, and the issue isn’t going away. It keeps bubbling to the surface, a wound that refuses to heal because it hasn’t been properly tended to. We have an opportunity in times like these to make this wound a little better instead of worse. A lot of people on campus right now feel like they are not valued or welcome. Do what you can to combat that. Make sure your students, colleagues and friends know you support and value them. Standing against racism, hate and violence should not be controversial, but too often we are afraid to speak out for fear of offending someone or because

we don’t know quite what to say. Instead, be afraid not to speak out for fear of letting someone down. If you think the message of that video is abhorrent, make sure your voice is heard. You may be thinking they should assume that, but silence can be taken for complicity. Even if that’s not how it’s meant, the refusal to take a stand can be seen as assent. Letting someone else hurt is almost as bad as hurting you them, isn’t it? We don’t yet know exactly who made the video or why, but it’s clear they meant to cause fear and division on our campus, and so far they have succeeded. But we can deny them that victory. The chancellor asked us not to give the makers power by sharing the

video. But we can also rob them of the power to terrify and divide by standing together, by showing solidarity. As the individual members that make up SIUC, we can reject the message of this video, loud and clear, so whoever made it, and anyone who sympathizes with them, will know that they and their kind have lost. SIUC will not be a place of fear and division, living in the past. It will be a place that takes pride in our beautiful diversity, looking to the future, and we will be proud of it! Amelia Ketzle, who will return to campus for classes in the fall, is an SIU alumna and civil service employee from Carbondale.

SIU freshmen earning their playing time THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE

Sean Carley | @SCarleyDE Senior shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez runs towards third base April 19 during the second game of SIU’s doubleheader against Evansville. Gonzalez went 1-3 in the contest and stole a base. SIU lost both games on the day.

Gonzalez ending career on a high note

SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Growing up as a dancer, Saluki softball shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez is preparing for her final performance on the field. The four-year starter will play her last regular season game at Charlotte West Stadium on Sunday, capping a strong career for Saluki softball. As a career .278 hitter, a 3.97 GPA student in marketing and a two-year team captain, Gonzalez is a wellrounded person on and off the field. "She's just an A-plus type studentathlete," coach Kerri Blaylock said. "She's a leader, she's phenomenal with her teammates, she's a great student, she's a great athlete." The softball life began about the same time as her dance career — early elementary school years. "When I got really serious about it, I was probably around 8," Gonzalez said. "That's when I started doing the traveling. That's when I started pouring everything I had into it." The Bolingbrook native was teammates with former Saluki pitcher Alyssa Wunderlich at Naperville Central High School and decided to follow her friend to Carbondale. However, the success did not come at the genesis of her career. Gonzalez said both her offensive and defensive skills progressed since adjusting to college softball. Gonzalez's hit .210 and committed a team-high 11 errors while starting all 52 games as a freshman. Blaylock said Gonzalez struggled "learning the ropes" of collegiate softball in her first year.

She came back with a vengeance her sophomore year, raising her average by more than 100 points to .328, which was third-highest on the team. Since then her batting average has leveled out to .288 this year, fifth highest on the team, and she is on pace for a career low in errors. Gonzalez is also the lone senior among this season's three team captains and is the only one serving a second term.

around in the dugout and explained exactly how to hit Robinson. In her at-bat, she singled to start what would be a six-run inning, five of which were scored off Robinson, en route to a 10-5 Saluki victory. As serious as she may seem on the field, Gonzalez is more light-hearted in the locker room and off the field. "You can sit down and have a serious conversation with her and you can also cut a joke with her," Blaylock said of the team's biggest Beyonce fan.

“The biggest thing is just going out and enjoying my last time playing with this group and working hard to finish it out.” - Kelsey Gonzalez shortstop

Her leadership is not a facade put on for those outside the program either. April 7 at Murray State, SIU battled the elements on a dusty, rainy field. In addition to the weather, SIU was struggling to adjust to Racer pitcher Mason Robinson, who had allowed only three hits against SIU the prior season. Robinson was through 2 1/3 innings without allowing a hit and hitting coach Jen Sewell became irritated with the team's inability to adjust to Robinson so she, as well as Blaylock, pulled sophomore second baseman Savannah Fisher — the hitter at the time — aside to discuss the situation. Gonzalez then left the on-deck circle to rally the troops, corralled the team

Jokes and musical preferences aside, being a Saluki has given Gonzalez the opportunity to give to the less fortunate, notably in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last season. "Our trip to Mexico last year was a very cool experience to be a part of," she said. "We got to work with the local kids teams and teach them some skills. Just giving back and being in that community was really cool." As her final season winds down, Gonzalez hopes to instill the a winning culture in the younger players. In her first three years SIU went 7477-1, finishing above .500 once — 2824 in 2014. This year's team is guaranteed to at

least tie that mark even if it loses out. "This team has a different feel to it," Gonzalez said. "We have shown we can do some pretty amazing things. This year has definitely been a memorable one; it's kind of crazy that it's already [seven] games away from being over." One hundred ninety-six games after her Saluki career began, Gonzalez said the nostalgia is beginning to set in. Even though she's beginning to look back on her time as a Dawg, she feels the job is not done until she guides the team to its 11th NCAA tournament appearance. "The biggest thing is just going out and enjoying my last time playing with this group and working hard to finish it out," Gonzalez said. After graduating in May, Gonzalez will be back in August to begin her master's degree in business administration and will serve as a graduate assistant in SIU athletics' business division. "We talk about it all the time how you have to pass the baton and show the younger kids what Saluki softball is all about," Blaylock said. "We feel like we have a culture here of working hard, doing the right thing type of kids and she'll be another one to pass it on." Gonzalez along with fellow seniors Caylee Cook and Taylor Harris will be honored during Senior Day at 12 p.m. Sunday against Northern Iowa at Charlotte West Stadium. Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307.

The freshmen on the 2015 SIU baseball team faced a baptism by fire out of necessity. This year, coach Ken Henderson has freshmen he can rely on, but not because he has to. Third baseman Jared Schmidt and reliever Seth Hackett have proven to be reliable options in their first collegiate seasons. Schmidt is batting .250 with one home run and eight RBIs and has started 14 of the Salukis' last 16 games. "He’s got a lot of tools, and as a position player, it starts with that," Henderson said. "He’s a big, strong kid. He doesn’t look like a freshman out there. He has some range, arm strength and bat speed. If you’ve got those, you’ve just got to develop. He’s made great strides." Those strides allowed Schmidt to displace junior Ryan Sabo as the regular third baseman. Sabo, who led the team with a .292 batting average last season, has scuffled at the plate, batting .188 with one homer and four RBIs. "Yeah, it’s tough, but honestly, all I want to do is win," Sabo said. "And if Jared’s going to give us the best opportunity to win, and Coach Hendu feels that way, I’m behind him 100 percent." Schmidt said Sabo has been "like a big brother" to him and helped him work through some of his struggles in his freshman season. In 22 games, Schmidt has made a team-high eight errors, while Sabo has made six in 27 games. Henderson said although Sabo is struggling offensively, he is still the option when the Salukis need defense more than offense. Hackett has a 4.22 ERA in a teamhigh 17 appearances, most of them coming with a lead late in games. He and redshirt freshman Austin Covers have provided something the 2015 squad lacked — left-handed relief. "That’s something we look for, and we were hoping that one of those guys could take that role," pitching coach P.J. Finigan said. "A lot of times in the middle of the order there’s big lefthanded bats, so having a guy late in games who can match up against the middle of someone’s order is huge." Both Finigan and Henderson noted Hackett's command as a factor in his success — he leads all Saluki relievers with a 2.43:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. "His changeup is something you don’t see very often," Finigan said. "It’s extremely slow compared to his fastball, and he pitches backwards off of it.” To read more, please see www.dailyegyptian.com
