Students comment Where the pink flowers grow on chancellor’s diversity measures BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE
Interim Chancellor Brad Colwell issued a campus-wide announcement via email Tuesday detailing a plan of action to address recent grievances aired by members of the student body and surrounding community. “Clearly, we have much work to do to build understanding and respect, and it will take the entire community — administrators, students, faculty and staff — to move forward,” Colwell wrote in the email. “We have all heard the calls for change, and we must respond in partnership.” The announcement comes the day after a protest on campus against a host of issues, including racism, student debt and administrative pay scales. Colwell’s plan calls for the establishment of a “diversity council” comprised of students and “other constituencies” by fall 2016 to promote the university’s overall goal of inclusivity and diversity, according to the email. He said new resources may be needed to help students acclimate to campus and he will improve current resources and programs. Michael Smith, president of the Black Male Roundtable registered student organization, said Tuesday he was pleased to see the chancellor address issues that were introduced during the protest, but added there is much more that must be done to improve the social climate on campus. The only way that will happen, Smith said, is if the majority of nonmarginalized groups rally to help end racism and discrimination on campus. “The administration can only do
so much toward the social climate considering that the social climate exists mostly between students and somewhat between the community,” said Smith, a junior from Chicago studying political science. Students and community members will have a chance to comment on the issues in the fall via surveys to gauge race relations on campus, Colwell said. The university will also begin integrating cultural diversity into the curriculum, according to the email, and the provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs have been scheduled to begin conversations before the beginning of the next academic year. Smith said cultural diversity should be required to help educate students who do not have a first-hand experience of dealing with people of different ethnic backgrounds. The chancellor’s plan also calls for policy reforms that focus on increasing diversity among the university faculty to ensure the university “better reflect[s] the diversity of our community.” President of the Graduate and Professional Student Council Brandon Woudenberg said the email from the chancellor was a “good first step” toward addressing the concerns of SIU students. He added student leaders must follow up to ensure a university council does start in the fall, and it “actually creates a long-term diversity plan” for the university. The measures are “first steps in a larger conversation and effort,” Colwell said. Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com
Aviation chair resigns LUKE NOZICKA | @LukeNozicka
The interim chairman of SIU’s aviation management and flight department is stepping down at midnight Wednesday, according to an email obtained by the Daily Egyptian. José R. Ruiz — who has been at the university since 1995, according to his online biography — sent an email to aviation students and staff about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday saying he was resigning earlier than he originally planned. “My contract as interim chair was due to expire on June 30th,” he wrote in the email. “However, circumstances have forced me to accelerate that
timeline. ... It has been an honor to represent this department, but some of the actions I have been asked to engage in are contrary to what I believe in. As such, I felt that I had no option, but to step down.” Ruiz could not be reached for comment as of Tuesday night. In his email, Ruiz said he will continue to serve as a faculty member. Andy Ju An Wang, dean of College of Applied Sciences and Arts, “or his designee will assume the responsibilities of acting department chair,” Ruiz wrote. Luke Nozicka can be reached at 618-536-3325
Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE Christina Blakeney, of Carbondale, mulches flower beds Tuesday at the Carbondale Town Square. “I’m volunteering with Carbondale Main Street,” Blakeney said. “Every year for Mother’s Day I used to work in my mom’s garden, so I was excited when they told me about this project.” Meghan Cole, executive director of Carbondale Main Street, said the organization is a nonprofit that works to develop and promote the downtown area. “I do all types of things [as a volunteer],” Blakeney said. “On Friday, we have the Brew Fest, I work the Friday Night Fairs, things like that.”
Optimistic Rauner mum on what it will take to end budget impasse MONIQUE GARCIA AND CELESTE BOTT Chicago Tribune
As Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner continues to talk up the possibility that he could strike a sweeping agreement with lawmakers to resolve the budget stalemate by the end of the month, he’s refusing to say which portions of his agenda he needs to get the deal done. It’s nothing new, as Rauner has long been wary of giving away his negotiating position. Instead, he’s issued broad calls to freeze property taxes, cut costs related to workers hurt on the job, curb benefits that could be negotiated during collective bargaining and rein in pricey civil lawsuits. Democrats largely have rebuffed those efforts, saying they would harm the middle class and are unrelated to the state budget, which is billions of dollars out of whack after a temporary income tax hike began to expire in January 2015. On Monday, Rauner offered the latest reason for his opacity on the 10-month stalemate, saying he was keeping quiet so he wouldn’t derail negotiations among rank-and-file lawmakers who are scrambling to
come up with something they can present to legislative leaders. “I don’t want to get ahead of the legislature in their negotiations. I don’t want to comment on specifics,” Rauner said during an event commemorating small businesses at his favorite Springfield microbrewery. “But I think the good news is they are talking about very significant reforms, I am told, and they are talking about a balanced budget that includes cuts as well as some tax revenue reform, and I think that’s the right answer.” Rank-and-file members, frustrated by months of inaction, hope there’s an opening before lawmakers head home at the end of May. None want to spend a summer on the campaign trail with little to show. But cutting a deal in the next four weeks is far from an easy task, particularly in an election year when few want to be on the record voting for a tax increase. That political reality is made even more difficult by the likelihood that a budget agreement also is likely to include major spending cuts, meaning taxpayers will be asked to pony up more but get less in return.
It’s a tricky situation Rauner acknowledges while still trying to strike an optimistic tone. “There are many legislators who, they won’t vote for a tax raise no matter what, end of story. I’ve talked to them. We are going to have to find those folks who are willing to compromise. I’m willing to compromise. But in order to do it, we need structural reform to protect taxpayers in the future,” Rauner said. “And frankly, there are many members on both sides of the aisle who have their own pet programs or pet spending that they won’t consider cutting in any scenario. Well, you know what? We have got to have some cuts. “This is why it’s taken over a year,” Rauner said. “I hope we can get it done in the next four weeks.” Others are less hopeful, saying Rauner will continue to stand in the way by demanding his agenda items. “The governor doesn’t understand what stirs the economy. If he did we would have had a budget long ago,” said Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie. To read more, please see dailyegyptian.com

Jessica Allee, co-founder of the Carbondale Tool Library, talks about the newly created project Saturday at the Flyover Infoshop. “I felt like there was a need in our community to share,” Allee said. “I wanted to build on that, I wanted to give back.” She said this is the second tool library in Illinois. “There is no money transfer in tool libraries,” Allee said. “It’s all about giving.” Allee said there were two tool libraries in the San Francisco area, which is what influenced the San Diego native to open one in Carbondale.
Tool-lending library opens in Carbondale WILLIAM DAVID HIGGS III @HIGGS_THIRD
Colleagues Ari Jihan and Jessica Allee began the grand opening of the Carbondale Tool-Lending Library on Saturday not by cutting a ribbon, but by sawing through a wooden board with the word "share" painted on it. The library, located at 214 N. Washington St. at the rear of the Flyover Infoshop, provides students and community members with free access to tools. Renters must fill out a borrowing application and release form and watch a 10-minute safety video. Rentals last a week and the library's hours are Monday and Wednesday 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday 9 to 11 a.m.

Jihan has similar aspirations for the project. "A major facet of this project is to break the barriers money creates," Jihan said. "It will help people do home improvement much easier." Jihan and Allee said they want to eventually expand the lending library to include kitchen equipment and other items.

Public Health has rejected the board's past recommendations. The governor, who inherited the medical marijuana program, has been reluctant to broaden access, instead calling for further study of the drug's benefits and risks. But supporters said public access to marijuana should be a matter of compassion, not science, arguing that people were suffering and shouldn't have to wait for continued research. Farah Zala Morales, who works at a medical marijuana dispensary, spoke on behalf of her 12-yearold daughter, Mira, who has Type 1 diabetes. Morales said the drug helped ease her daughter's discomfort and stabilize her blood sugar so she didn't have to inject herself with insulin as often and could maintain good grades and play sports. "She feels pain, burning sensations all over at the injection sites," Morales
said. "She still manages to keep it all together and be an amazing person [even with] all this discomfort that she feels on a daily basis." Panic disorders drew more support from the board. "Having the option [of medical marijuana], instead of just putting someone on four-times-a-day Xanax, would be very useful," said Dr. Eric Christoff, an HIV specialist at Northwestern Medicine. The board rejected using medical marijuana for persistent depressive disorder, Lyme disease and MRSA, a drug-resistant staph infection. Ten conditions Rauner's public health agency rejected again were autism, chronic pain syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, neuropathy, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain due to trauma, chronic post-op pain, intractable pain, migraines and osteoarthritis.

"In Carbondale there are a whole lot of students who do not have a lot of income," said Jessica Allee, who co-founded the library with Jihan. "There's also a history of low-income families in the area. Allee said the price of tools deters many in the community from maintaining their homes. Now, people can rent carpentry, home-repair, power and select hand tools, she said. "If you only have a small network of friends and family, it can be difficult to borrow tools," she said. "It's about getting everyone to participate in [sharing] tools." Allee hopes that by inviting students and community members to borrow and share tools, Carbondale will experience revitalization.
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner came under fire Monday as the doctors, nurses and patients on a state panel that recommends whether to expand Illinois' medical marijuana test program complained their suggestions are routinely ignored. The Medical Cannabis Advisory Board suggested that 10 previously recommended ailments receive approval, as well two new ones: Type 1 diabetes and panic disorder. As some at a hearing celebrated the diabetes recommendation, board member and pediatrician Dr. Nestor Ramirez cautioned the crowd to "wait for what the governor says." "We don't get everything that we want on this board anyway, several times over," said board chair Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple. Rauner's Illinois Department of

‘Slacking’ at the end of the semester
Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Eugene Ballance, a freshman from Cobden studying forestry, attempts to balance on a slackline set up across the pool Monday in the Edward J. Shea Natatorium. A slackline is a piece of rope or webbing stretched tight with a ratchet and then walked across. According to Cody Lennon, a senior from Carbondale studying outdoor recreation, the event was hosted by his employer, Outdoor Pursuits, as an opportunity for students to de-stress before finals. “It’s always a good time to see people try new things,” Lennon said.
Students lead studies about video games, sleep patterns BREY MONG-DELANE @BREYMONG_DE
As the semester is coming to a close, two SIU students are wrapping up their yearlong research projects while preparing for graduation. Bradley Henning, a senior from Hanover Park studying exercise science, and Miranda Gibson, a senior from Centralia studying psychology and paralegal studies, were two of 20 REACH grant award winners for the 2015-2016 academic year. The REACH program offers 20 grant awards a year to full-time undergraduate students to complete independent research with a faculty member. "The challenge in completing undergraduate research is just learning how to break up a yearlong project, setting your own deadlines as well as having self discipline," Gibson said. "You have to learn how to organize your time and not put everything off at the last minute." Video games and body control Henning's research was focused on video games and motor behavior. His study set out to prove whether playing video games could change motor behavior characteristics such as memory, reaction time and fine motor skills. A German research video that tested whether 'video games make you smarter' inspired his idea. The German study found increases in the part of the brain associated with fine motor skills and reaction time. That study took 60 days to complete, while Henning had three days. "The benefits of this research will go toward the communities affected with neuro-degenerative diseases and it will also benefit the medical community in general where they could use this as a
therapy," Henning said. Subjects in Henning's experiment were split into two groups. People who played the video game would play for one hour for two days and for 15 minutes the third day. The control group would come in and rather than playing the video games, these students did motor skill tests for the three days. "It was a very long process,"Henning said. "The fall semester was spent fine-tuning the study, making sure everything works correctly and figuring out how long we need the people to play the game. From there we tested a few people, trying to get the experimental methods right. This spring semester was dedicated to actually collecting data and have people in here playing the video games or not." The results of Henning's study were inconclusive. "In the end we didn’t have them playing the game long enough," he said. "Working with students, we didn’t have that much time because three hours is pushing it for them." Henning said he thinks someone else will finish his work after he graduates later this month. Sleepy students and daytime dysfunction Gibson’s research examined the effects of poor sleep on cognitive and emotional responses of college students. She compared 25 students' sleeping quality and how sleepy they felt throughout the day to their mood and ability to function. These tests were taken by the subjects at the beginning and end of the study to compare differences. Gibson's results found that students' sleep quality decreased from the beginning to the end of the semester. Students who struggle with poor sleep are more likely to struggle with
depression, high stress and other negative affects. After graduation, Gibson plans on continuing her education at SIU for her graduate studies. She has a graduate assistant position with the criminology department and will be doing research within the department. "I really want to work in corrections, and work with offenders, especially the mental health populations within prisons and mental institutions," Gibson said. "I want to work in programs that will help rehabilitate them and help them get the help they need." Henning is waiting to hear back from three graduate schools for a doctorate program in physical therapy. He has plans to work full-time at a physical therapy clinic as a rehabilitation aid. The $1,500 they received funded their research and the equipment needed to complete the study. They were also awarded a paid undergraduate assistant position. Henning and Gibson are set to graduate in May. The REACH award winners for 2016-2017 academic year have been chosen. To find out more information about the REACH program or the current winners of the grant, visit www.reach.siu.edu. "There were very stressful times and, sometimes, I just want to be done with it, but it's so worth it in the end," Gibson said. "It looks good on your resume and being able to say 'I designed a project, I planned a budget and proposal and I stuck to it. I can handle this yearlong project as an undergraduate.'"

Keep BTO the way it is IVANA HILL SIU alumna
It has come to our attention that SIUC is making a move toward inclusiveness and diversity. The problem here is that there is no definition of what is or isn’t “inclusive,” instead the university uses their protected definition of inclusivity to justify taking away places that were made for the students who need inclusion. Marginalized students’ input is greatly needed to fix this problem. Since they understand and deal with these issues daily, these students know what can and should be done to truly bring about the change that SIUC desires.
As marginalized students, we have few places of comfort that we can go to in order to discuss many of the places of discomfort that plague SIU. Having and keeping a safe space improves the well-being of the these students. The university wants to promote inclusivity and diversity, but has resisted creating safe spaces on campus. This is the main purpose of the Black Togetherness Organization. However, students have heard that BTO will move from University Housing to become a regular registered student organization. Students are worried if BTO is turned into a regular RSO, it will be easier to get rid of if it suffers from inactivity. Not to mention,
its mission is for students who live in the residence halls. BTO works to empower SIUC students living in the residence halls by focusing on academics, cultural education and political education as well as social events to promote togetherness. This organization affects many students who live on East Campus and should also have the access to impact the students on West Campus as well. Not only does BTO execute its mission statement, it acts as a safe space for students on East Campus to speak on problems that SIUC doesn’t seem to want to face. BTO has been on campus for decades as a housing RSO — why is it
now a problem that it’s a housing RSO? Over the past few months, BTO has weighed its options, from turning into a normal RSO to trying to understand what the school means by “be more inclusive.” If SIUC decides it is not in the best interest of its students to keep BTO as a housing RSO, that would take away one of few spaces where minorities feel like they are at home after being in a society that doesn’t promise fair treatment, even on campus. As for its location, what will happen to Grinnell Hall? BTO is located in an important place on East Campus, making it easier for the residents to have access to it. As some know, marginalized students
have a different way of living, different social issues and participate in different activities. This isn’t meant to divide the campus — it provides escapes where they can talk about the issues that directly affect them without having to change their opinion or tone of voice. The location is also provides a new and different way of living that can be experienced by any student on this campus. It gives them the power and control over that small environment that they have a voice in, making it very important that it stays where it is, for the good and well-being of future students.
suppressed free speech and discriminated heavily against white males. The Department of Justice conducted its own investigation of SIUC during 2000 to 2004 and threatened SIU with legal action due to its discrimination against white males. Furthermore, if one looks at materials currently pushed by the Office of Equity and Diversity such as ”Race: Through the Eyes of White Privilege,” it is clear that SIU is committed to diversity on its campus — as long as that diversity is not made up of white people. Also, the Affirmative Action website has posted a mission statement that states that SIUC is committed to “increasing the number of minority individuals and women in all aspects of the university, with special procedures applicable to those positions determined to be underutilized for
minorities and women.” Therefore, SIU has stated as a university and higher education facility, that it is committed to simply increasing the amount of minorities and women on its campus especially in areas deemed “underutilized.” This, students, is the actual definition of discrimination. SIU has stated that as long as you are not a white male, you are more likely to be accepted into this campus. In conjunction to its track record of discrimination, SIUC also has suppressed student’s rights to free speech as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. SIU has used “free speech” zones — areas outside of the sight of campus where students were able to practice free speech. As the university stands today, a student is not allowed free speech demonstration and rallies except in two areas of campus.
Furthermore, the nonpartisan Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has found that SIU “clearly and substantially” violates students’ right to freedom of speech. The foundation also states that SIU’s Board of Trustees and Student Conduct Code clearly restricts students’ right to freedom of speech. We, as students, are not divided by race or gender. We are divided because SIU wants us to be divided. It is time for us as students of white, black, Asian, Latino or Native American descent to demand truly equal rights and rights that are guaranteed to us as American citizens under the U.S. Constitution. We do not want a “race war,” although it seems SIU will take any means to drive students farther apart. We must act together as one voice to demand answers to our questions.
Why does SIU discriminate against white males? Why does SIU claim to be a campus of inclusivity and equality while taking away students guaranteed rights? As an Army veteran, I swore to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies and I do not condone the actions taken by SIU. I believe SIU has restricted students’ rights to freedom of speech substantially and that is not what I, nor any other service member, swore to uphold. You are given rights by the United States government, and they are unalienable. There is no university that can supersede the U.S. Constitution.

How SIU tramples certain students’ rights
ALEX SUMMERS Undergraduate student
A video surfacing last month of fraternity members allegedly using hate speech and now more recent racist videos have led interim Chancellor Brad Colwell to decry any message that “promotes division, racism and violence on our campus.” However, it seems that now SIU is only concerned with recent events of racism and division. What about the huge spike of violence in Carbondale and the seeming unresponsiveness from SIU? As soon as allegations surface of racism or “promotion of division” occurs, SIU is extremely quick to bring it to the attention of students and state how “diverse and equal” the university is and should be. Meanwhile, SIU at an institutional level, has clearly and substantially

‘Captain America: Civil War’ deserves superhero worship CARY DARLING Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Moviegoers can be forgiven if they’re a little skittish about returning to theaters for another superhero-vs.-superhero showdown. After the cinematic car crash of “Batman v Superman,” the idea of a gang of costumed crusaders going WWII on each other doesn’t necessarily inspire enthusiasm. But “Captain America: Civil War,” like its two predecessors, overturns expectations and ranks as one of the better vehicles to roll off the Marvel assembly line. While it lacks the sense of surprise of the second film, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” its mix of action, humor, effects, the introduction of a new character and the reintroduction of an old one strikes just the right tone for a film that is as much about marketing as moviemaking. The similarity to BvS doesn’t end with the concept of good guys squaring off against each other. In both cases, our heroes are dealing with the perhaps unintended consequences that their presence has among mere mortals. At what shade of gray does doing good curdle into doing bad? Do the heroic ends justify the murderous means? “Civil War” doesn’t dig too deeply into this quandary – after all, this is the snarkier Marvel movie universe, not the gloomy world of, say, DC Comics-based “The Dark Knight” – but directors Anthony and Joe Russo unearth just enough emotional baggage for our heroes to carry. When “Civil War” opens, stalwart Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans), and some of the Avengers crew are doing their kill-’em-all routine against some evildoers in Lagos, Nigeria. As usual, innocents are killed and the world – through Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (William Hurt) – tells them that it’s had enough of being the collateral damage strewn in the wake of their superhero muscle-flexing. The Avengers are given a choice:
Marvel Studios | TNS Chris Evans, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in “Captain America: Civil War.”
retire or sign an accord putting themselves under the control of the U.N. Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), is down with it. A visit by a mom (Alfre Woodard) whose son was killed during one of Iron Man’s missions has convinced him of his culpability. At the other end of the spectrum, Captain America thinks the restrictions are nothing but a bureaucratic yoke. He refuses to sign,
and the rest have to choose sides. On team Iron Man are War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany) and this new, gangly kid Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland, Wolf Hall), who has only had his Spider-Man powers for a few months. Team Captain America has Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Ant-

Man (Paul Rudd) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). It turns out the good guys are far more entertaining as adversaries than any of the bad guys have been. But that’s not the whole of it. T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), the son of an African king, wants revenge against Bucky Barnes/ Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) because he blames him for his father’s death. That’s where T’Challa’s alter ego, Black Panther, comes into play. Yet Captain America has allied himself with Bucky, who was programmed decades ago by the Soviets to rampage and kill, but now doesn’t want any part of that. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure named Zemo (Daniel Brühl) is up to no good, and has an elaborate, Pinky and the Brain-style plot for revenge – the kind that only sounds credible within the world of superhero movies.
The Russos, who came out of TV (Community, Happy Endings) before landing “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, keep things moving briskly and stage a couple of neck-snapping action scenes. The airport battle alone is worthy of a few high-fives. Still, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely mine the script with enough offhand comedy to maintain the attention of the action-weary. One of the highlights is the new Spider-Man, who comes across as much younger than the previous movie incarnations but also exceedingly likable. As is generally the case with Marvel movies, stay through all the credits for a couple of extra scenes. And then sit back and wait patiently for the next models with any of these characters – upcoming are Spider-Man: Homecoming, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp and “Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1.” Because Marvel cranks them out faster than Toyota makes Camrys.
Top-5 Hulu original series JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE
Hulu Plus is one of the three giants of video streaming services. When it comes to TV shows, not even Netflix can contend with the day-after service of Hulu Plus. This service doesn’t have the name value of Amazon Prime in original TV content though. But this doesn’t mean the streaming service doesn’t have interesting original content. Here are five Hulu Plus original series worth checking out. 5. “Quick Draw” (2013): This improvised comedy historically marks the streaming services third jump into the
land of original content. It also provides an incredibly hilarious and ridiculous experience. “Quick Draw” uses western clichés to satire a genre and keep you laughing for its two seasons. The show’s improvised nature, while not as clean or intelligent as a show like “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” brings a lower-grade level of quick-witted comedy seen in very few shows today. 4. “The Awesomes” (2013): “The Awesomes,” a parody of a superhero show, brings a comedic pedigree to Hulu Plus that hadn’t been seen before it. Seth Meyers, of “Saturday Night Live” fame, is one of the
co-creators and stars of the show, which was also executive produced by SNL creator Lorne Michaels. Along with the creative side, the show stars people like Ike Barinholtz, Taran Kilam and Kenan Thompson, who bring their talents to a series that could have ended up being nothing. 3. “Behind the Mask” (2013): Great documentaries and documentary series follow perspectives few people have seen before. Mascots at sporting events are a perfect example of this and something this Hulu Plus original talks about brilliantly. The lives, dreams and aspirations of the mascots are as normal as
anyone’s and that makes the show easily connectable. 2. “Difficult People” (2015): “Difficult People” hits the comedy trend of making a show a character piece as well as bringing the laughs. It does this just as well as shows like “Louie” and “Master of None.” Following these terrible individuals as they try to make it in the comedy game will anger viewers as much as it makes them laugh. The talent of Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner brings a sense of sarcasm and jadedness that helps both aspects of the show. 1. “11.22.63” (2016): This show is the only drama on the list, but for good reason.
While Hulu Plus has had serious shows before “11.22.63,” nothing has reached the level of this Stephen King adaptation. Talents like James Franco and Chris Cooper bring a film prestige to the show. Being a limited series helps make the series feel compacted and tense, much like a novel and movie. Yet, by making it a show, “11.22.63” hits character arc’s and themes that help keep viewers emotionally captivated and connected.

McPheron taking advantage of opportunities THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE
The punter on a football team is in a unique position: he only sees the field when his team fails to pick up a first down. A long relief pitcher is in a similar situation, almost exclusively pitching when his team is trailing early in the game. Junior right-hander Austin McPheron has filled that often uncertain role for Saluki baseball this season. "With that role you've got to be ready to go from pitch one, because you never know how the starter's going to do," he said. "I treat it as if I'm starting. That way, I'm mentally prepared to go from the first inning on." McPheron said he sticks to a routine to stay prepared on game days, stretching his legs first then his arms, using resistance cords to loosen his arm, throwing a weighted
ball, playing catch and throwing long toss, depending on how he feels. He finishes with a "short box" bullpen session to make sure he has a feel for all his pitches. After a rough start to the season, in which he allowed four earned runs in 1/3 of an inning in his first two appearances, McPheron has allowed four earned runs in his last 20 innings. While he is 1-0 on the season, the Salukis are 3-7 in games he pitches. "It’s a unique situation," pitching coach P.J. Finigan said. "You have to always be ready because you’re probably going to be fired into action when things aren’t going well. You have to have the confidence to come in and get people out when there’s runners on base. [McPheron]’s done a great job of that. He has a very, very, very even-keeled personality, and I think that’s why it works for him." McPheron said a turning point for him was his third outing of the season, in which he went 3 2/3 innings on
Yenitza Melgoza |@YenitzaM_DE Junior right-handed pitcher Austin McPheron throws a pitch during SIU’s 7-4 loss to Memphis on March 24 at Itchy Jones Stadium. McPheron pitched 3.2 innings and had 5 strikeouts.
March 24 in relief of junior lefty Joey Marciano, allowing one run on three hits with five strikeouts against Memphis. "I think with last year struggling as much as I did, I wasn't ready for game
experience," said the Johnston City native. "I really needed that one game just to gain confidence and show myself I could do it in a game. When I came in against Memphis and had a really good outing, that propelled me
for the rest of the season and gave me a lot of confidence." As a sophomore in 2015, McPheron posted an 0-4 record and a 16.53 ERA in nine appearances, including four midweek starts. His 2016 ERA sits at 3.54 in 10 games. Finigan said McPheron's durability helps the 6-foot-4 righty pitch multiple innings of relief and had him in contention for the 2016 starting rotation. As McPheron has proven himself in long relief, he has earned higherleverage opportunities. His last two appearances have come while the Dawgs were leading. "When he got opportunities, he threw well," coach Ken Henderson said. "If you have success, you get more and better opportunities, and he’s certainly done that."

What Team Should SIU Invest In To Compete in the Summer Olympics?
SIU should add a ping pong/table tennis team. Table tennis is arguably the greatest sport in the world. It brings out raw tenacity in rec centers, garages and basements all across this country. America has never won an Olympic medal in table tennis and I think it's about time we change that. SIU could become a hotbed for table tennis, and one day, send out a champion to return with gold around his or her neck. USA! USA! USA! -Austin Miller
Katniss Everdeen is the most significant heroine of the 21st century. Without her bow and arrow, she wouldn't have accomplished greatness. The unstoppable archers of SIU would follow in her footsteps. May the Salukis be ever in your favor! -Athena Chrysanthou
Windsurfing. The Surfin' Salukis would take first place in the MVC every year, because no other school has a windsurfing team. They could train on Campus Lake in order to prepare for the toxic water in Rio. -Thomas Donley
I think SIU should add a field hockey team. When you think of backyard sports, you think of football, basketball, baseball, soccer and maybe someday you'll think of field hockey. Besides, it's cheaper to get a field for field hockey than it is to build an ice rink for ice hockey. -Jacob Gaertner
Dodgeball. This would give every gym class try-hard an opportunity to earn ascholarship here at SIU. This sport wouldn't cost SIU too much more money, and would probably pack the Arena with the Saluki faithful. -Evan Jones
SIU should definitely add a beach volleyball team. Nothing tops going to the beach with your friends and finding a net and a volleyball. SIU could dominate the Midwest region and get a taste of the coastal lifestyle close to home. -Sean Carley Sloan Marion | @SketchingBear
