Testing the waters for nationals MVC and ESPN 3 working on contract aaron graff | @Aarongraff_DE

A subsection of the largest sports network in the world could be coming to campus.

ESPN 3 and the Missouri Valley Conference have been working on a contract that would require all court sports — men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball — to be televised on the website. Baseball and softball would follow the next year.

The home team of all conference games would be responsible for producing a stream.

Saluki Athletics Director of Video Services Shane Gibbons said he hopes the contract is finalized within the upcoming weeks.

“It’s hard to put into words how excited I am,” Gibbons said.

ESPN 3 broadcasts would essentially replace Saluki All-Access, which gives customers audio and video coverage of non-televised games. Saluki AllAccess audio streams would continue.

SIU broadcaster Mike Reis said ESPN does not want simulcasts, meaning his audio over their video, opening up opportunities for on-air talent.

Saluki All-Access, which costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, does not require a cable package, but ESPN 3 would.

Gibbons said it would differ from Saluki All-Access slightly. He said the video team has to be more neutral than it is with Saluki All-Access. However, it can still run university commercials and Saluki Spotlights — features of SIU athletes and coaches — during halftime.

Reis said there are several hundred Saluki All-Access customers and ESPN 3 would be a good thing.

“There are so many more positives than negatives,” Reis said. “Really the only negative is a significant equipment investment. That means money at a time where it’s not really available. But it’s an investment and big things cost money.”

Gibbons said he is unsure of the total cost, but knows SIU would have to purchase and assemble a truck to act as a mobile control room and house the production equipment.

Reis said if ESPN 3 came to SIU, it would be a good recruiting tool for the Department of Radio, Television and Digital Media.

Joe Frye, a junior from Grand Ridge studying radio and television said he is interested in being on-air talent.

“I think it’d be worth something investing in,” Frye said. “I know we’re not the biggest power house in any sport, but I think it would give us more exposure.”

Gibbons, who graduated from SIU in 2014, said he wants to stress how good of an opportunity it is for students, especially because they can be noticed by higher ups at ESPN. “I had mentors that taught me things, but they only did that because they saw the want to in me,” he said.

“That’s what I’m looking for out of the students.”

MVC Associate Commissioner Jack Watkins said he is confident a contract will be signed, but he was not in a position to comment on the new contract, as it has not yet been finalized.

C arrington S pireS | @CSpires77 Mike Esker, right, a senior from Teutopolis studying civil engineering and the captain of the Concrete Canoe Design Team, sends off a four-person team into Campus Lake on Wednesday to practice for the national championship in South Carolina this summer. Each year, the team is tasked with building and testing concrete canoes throughout the school year before competing in the regional conference in April. “We’ve been canoeing since 1986,” Esker said. “This is the first time we’re able to go to nationals.”

Turn your back on Rauner at graduation our Word As Saturday’s commencement ceremonies draw nearer, it is clear the student-led petition to get Gov. Bruce Rauner replaced as a commencement speaker will not produce its desired effect.

Students opposed the decision because of Rauner’s proposed budget cuts, which would slash $62 million from the SIU system’s budget.

The more than 2,700 online signees — students, alumni and others have signed the petition without considering two vital pieces of information: Rauner was asked in January to speak at commencement, one month before he proposed his fiscal year 2016 budget.

Also, the governor is not being paid to speak at graduation, as some concerned students have claimed.

The furor behind this petition is legitimate. Students have the right to appeal to the university about anything they disagree with. Without this vital tool, democracy could not function.

The university will not reject the governor. It would be a bad political move and disrespectful to an elected

official the university works so closely with every year. Dislike his platforms or not, he is still the leader of this state.

Petition supporters should be educated on both sides and tolerant to the conservative voice, which is often muted in most university discourse. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and no one should automatically be shunned for it.

We as students need to step back and look at the big picture surrounding the governor’s decision to decrease funding for state universities. He is not the first person in Springfield to cut higher education; cuts have been made seven of the last 10 years.

The state’s budget has been in disarray for longer than many students have been alive. Every spring, patchwork fixes are put in place to make it to the next year.

Unfortunately current college students are just some of those who must deal with it.

This petition is a great way to let the administration and Springfield know students do not agree with Rauner’s tactics. But a petition is as far as it should go.

Rumors of unruly protests, possible

violence and detrimental activity that would distract from the actual graduation ceremony are concerning. Salukis should not use this opportunity to embarrass the university, graduates or families this ceremony is meant to celebrate.

Loud, raucous protests have no place at such an event. Protesting could and should occur, but with respect to everyone involved.

Simply turning your back while the governor speaks, or silence following his speech would reach volumes screaming protesters could not match.

Those methods would show the state what students believe in — higher education and the survival of SIU as it operates.

The newsroom’s initial reaction to hearing Rauner is a commencement speaker was shock and anger. We shared the sentiments of the petitioners.

However, in reality, administration is not to blame. President Randy Dunn and his staff are accommodating the proposed cuts as best they can. If there was no plan in place, SIU would be in shambles when the actual cuts are made.

Perspectives on SIU accessibility dean reece | Daily Egyptian Sam Goodin, director of Disability Support Services Goodin, who previously served as assistant dean of students at the University of Michigan, said SIU is a phenomenal campus for people with disabilities, but there is always room for improvement. "[SIU] couldn't even come close to the most accessible campus because some campuses were built entirely after the passage of the civil rights legislation... requiring all buildings to be made accessible," he said.

The university is continually improving its accessibility, Goodin said. He said Evergreen Terrace will transform one of its three bedroom units into an accessible two-person bedroom, and a new elevator will be installed in Woody Hall within

the next year.

Goodin encourages anyone with accessibility issues to notify Disability Support Services.

Clarence Council, an SIU student with Cerebral Palsy who uses a motorized wheelchair Council, a freshman from Chicago studying radio, television and digital media, said getting around in Carbondale is challenging on the weekends. He said he has turned over his chair on campus before.

"I have flipped my chair a few times once in the Pulliam circle drive, and once while getting on the bus at the Student Center," said Council, who also has poor vision. "Curbs are not my friend."

Phil Gatton, director of Plant and Service Operations Gatton, who has worked at the university for more than 15 years, said SIU's reputation as an

accessible friendly campus is true considering the number of people with disabilities who attend it.

"The beauty of our campus starts with the fact that it's all kind of one location and it's all flat terrain," he said.

Since he began working here, SIU has spent about $10 million on renovations following updates around the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Of the complaints he has heard, Gatton said people continue to emphasize the need for power assisted doors. He said the university is adding more to department suites, restrooms and main entrances of buildings throughout the campus.

Gatton also said SIU is adding unisex restrooms to upcoming projects, which will allow a safe area for someone with a disability and their attendant.

Letter From the editor 1

When the Daily Egyptian editorial board set out to write this, we immediately wanted to side with the student body. But since the creation of the petition, it has been apparent that not all those who oppose Rauner as the speaker are familiar with the details or processes of decision making.

The numbers don’t lie either.

Four percent of the total votes cast in this 2014 gubernatorial election were cast by people aged 25 and younger. In Jackson County, just less than 14,000 votes were cast, and Rauner won by a matter of 1,200 votes.

As a school of slightly more than 16,000 students, we could have made a difference in Jackson County. Though Salukis alone could not swing the entire race, those who did not want Rauner could have changed how the county voted.

We support students’ rights to petition, but perhaps the university would not be in this situation if those who disagreed took slightly more political initiative than signing an online petition.

#DElove is more than a hashtag Sarah Gardner | @rabbitearz93

After wondering how to go about writing a farewell column for my last issue as editor-in-chief at the Daily Egyptian, I realized there really are no words to express the feelings I’ve had this week as I prepare for graduation — or those to describe how much the DE means to me.

This was my eighth semester working for the DE. After doing a little math, I realized I have been on the staff for more than 600 issues. I began a few weeks into my first semester of college as a staff photographer and, well, never left.

As I wrap up my yearlong term as EIC, I cannot help but realize how much the DE has shaped my college career, or what my life would be like without it. As of this weekend, my term will officially be over, and I’ll be off to bigger — and so they say — better things.

Recently, students tend to come and go and staff turnover is common. It is different than many of the veteran staff members I looked up to when I was new.

But even though there aren’t as many “DE-Lifers” as we like to call them, I am still incredibly proud of the staff we have.

Each year the staff votes for two newsroom awards — outstanding newsroom senior and outstanding newsroom rookie. In a typical year, there is roughly an equal number of seniors and rookies, or if anything, a larger group of seniors. This year, our staff had 25 rookies compared to four seniors including myself.

It was while I was writing the names on the chalkboard that I realized how much we had accomplished with so many new staff members. This year we improved in many areas, and finally began to think as a digital-first news

organization, rather than limiting our identity to a physical newspaper. We tried new things and while some may have failed, others succeeded. Our Twitter account grew by more than 1,300 followers since August. We switched to a new website and increased our page traffic. Most importantly, the staff began to brainstorm and try new things together. That is what I’m most proud of.

EIC life hasn’t been easy. As a double major in photography and journalism, I’ve nearly lived in the Communications Building. I’ve had my fair share of allnighters, stress, tears — and sometimes — trips to the health center.

Despite the lack of sleep and constant busyness, I wouldn’t trade any of it.

I’ve seen a change in myself since I arrived at SIU as a quiet, shy freshman.

Aside from learning the skills that come with my majors, my confidence, public speaking, and professionalism have become so much greater in a short time.

As a freshman I would have laughed had someone told me I would become the editor of a student newspaper someday.

Now, I'm finishing a year at the helm,

and will somehow still graduate Magna Cum Laude, a Chancellor's Scholar and as a member of the University Honors Program.

At SIU I've shared wonderful memories with amazing people. Most are other student journalists, but some are faculty and the people I’ve meet while covering stories the past four years. These people are some of my best friends, I thank them and I will miss them terribly.

This week has been full of “lasts,” but soon enough my life — and that of the incoming editors — is going to be full of “firsts.” I hope as the next editors of the DE produce their first editions, make decisions and pass along their knowledge to the new staff, they come to love the DE as much as I do.

I am truly sad to leave this place, but I know I leave it in good hands. Good luck to all those who will be returning to school and thank you for being such dedicated, passionate employees. I’m proud to join the ranks of the other successful former editors and look forward to the day when I visit the newsroom as an alumna. Make me proud, and remember #DEforLife.

The Black Fortys talk jazz influence, Chicago sessions and Carbondale Chase Myers | @chasemyers_DE Blending a unique set of influences ranging from ‘90s alternative rock to jazz, Carbondale’s very own The Black Fortys has been blessing the scene with a progressive pop sound.

The band consists of Josh Murphy on guitar and vocals, Kevin Ohlau on percussion and vocals, Nathan Doyle on bass guitar and Jimmy Beers on drums.

The Black Fortys will perform at 6 p.m. at the Friday Night Fair located on the corner of Route 51 North and Route 13 West.

Admission to the festival is free and open to everyone.

The night will also feature music from The Jewels, a jazz collective The Black Fortys consider as a brother band.

The Daily Egyptian had the opportunity to speak with Josh Murphy about the band’s history and their self proclaimed “outsider progressive” view of music.

How did the band get started?

I met Kevin and Nate in Chicago. I was recording them with another band called Queen May at the time. We all moved back down from Chicago at the same time, and because I knew them

from that recording session, I asked them to come play with me. It just went from there. There have been different members throughout the years, but those are the three core guys.

As a group, who, or what, are you guys influenced by?

Kevin has a big jazz influence. Nate and I were both into Radiohead a lot.

Radiohead is probably the pervasive influence. We all come from different angles and we try to blend somewhat contradictory influences together.

Can you describe what “outsider progressive pop” means to the band?

We say that because its music that doesn’t really fit into a particular genre and usually when things are progressive, that means that we just try to stretch the normal envelope of how a pop song is structured.

How are the vibes from the crowds at Friday Night Fairs?

Those things are nice to play because it’s evening time and it’s outside. It’s just nice to kind of get out of the house, out of the basement or a bar and just get to play outside. I think we all like that experience of it. I never really know what other people think. We just kind of go do our thing and hope somebody enjoys it.

Since you guys have those

influences, would you say the band has an overall jazz influence?

Definitely. I’m a huge Miles Davis fan. I know Kevin likes John Coltrane and all those classic guys. We use elements and we even provide sections [of jazz] on this new album.

How was the recording process for your new album?

We tried to do something a little out of the ordinary for ourselves. We tried to track 10 songs in two days, which we pulled off in Chicago at the Observatory Studios. David Allen produced it. It was great. It was probably the easiest and most fruitful recording experience I’ve ever had. It was very quick and painless.

We crammed a lot in very quickly and I think we’re all pretty happy with it.

Have you remained loyal to the same recording process, or do you switch it up?

Our first recording, I did out of my room in my house. The next one we did at the Skihaus basement with David Allen. Then, we recorded with Brian Deck in Chicago in a more professional setting. The last one we did in my house again and this one was back in Chicago, so we’re all over the place.

‘Clouds of Sils Maria’ is pretentious, but entertaining

Jacob Pierce | @JacobPierce1_DE Many average movie-goers look at independent films as gaudy, pompous and overly eccentric.

While this bias, like the majority of prejudices, is mostly incorrect, there are some films that fall into a selffulfilling prophecy.

“Clouds of Sils Maria” (Rated R;124 min) directed by Olivier Assayas, falls into a lot of the traps of an infuriating indie movie, but ends up being an amazing drama with fantastic depth.

Maria Enders, played by Juliette Binoche, is in the twilight of her career.

It has been many years since the release of the play that made her famous.

She is now close to 50 years old and starring in several big budget movies.

After the death of a playwright friend, Enders feels the desire to once again act on stage.

Her loyal assistant Valentine, played

by Kristen Stewart, informs her of a famous theater director’s plan to revise the play that was once Enders’ claim to fame. He wants her to join

the production, this time playing the older, romantic lead of her previous character. Preparing for the play brings haunted memories, and Enders goes down a rabbit hole she might never come back from.

Overall, the movie is delightfully engrossing. It takes a life-imitating-art attitude and most of the plot plays as a reverse version of Enders’ fictional play.

This helps the film beautifully touch on themes of the hypocrisy put on aging actresses, culture clashes and the difference between actor and character.

It also showcases terrific performances by the three female leads.

Stewart especially should be praised for playing a role which shows she is more than the monotone character Bella Swan, of the Twilight series.

Yet, the “Clouds of Sils Maria” ruins most of its good faith by generalizing and poorly parodying modern big budget movies. In a movie full of depth, emotion and great characters, it could have easily left out any cheesy caricatures.

Instead, they are left in and the movie suffers.

The film characterizes popular films

as being created by individuals who do not care about their product, creators making convoluted messes only lowbrow people can enjoy.

All of the parodies end up looking like attacks, rarely siding with popular films. Even when Valentine tries to defend them, she ends up saying she likes most of them from an ironic, hipster viewpoint.

There are problems with big-budget movies, but one could argue there are just as many problems with the independent film scene.

The film takes a page from “Birdman” and touches on age in acting. “Clouds of Sils Maria” actually talks about it a little better, as discrimination against older actresses has been present for ages.

There are exceptions to this inequalwwity. Actresses such as Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren have garnered amazing roles in their older age. But, for the most part, actresses 40 to 50 years old are rarely given substantial roles.

Pitchers vary in size more than other positions aaron graff | @Aarongraff_DE The average professional horse jockey is roughly 5 feet 2 inches; the average height of an NBA starting center is 7 feet. A pitcher in baseball could be anything in between.

But is there an advantage for a pitcher being tall or short? The answer is not as concrete as a center being tall or a jockey being small.

MLB Hall of Fame pitchers Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux are 6 feet 10 inches and 6 feet respectively. Both earned more than 300 wins and had ERAs below 3.50. Maddux is ranked as the fifth-best pitcher on BaseballReference.com, Johnson the seventh.

SIU pitching coach P.J. Finigan said taller pitchers have more of a downward angle throwing, which is advantageous.

“It’s not always an exact science,” Finigan said. “There are guys that are 6-foot or under

that can sink the ball and miss the barrel, but that’s the big advantage that the bigger guys can be more downhill.”

However, Finigan said 6 feet 5 inches and above can hurt a pitcher’s consistency.

“You start to find guys that are a little less coordinated,” he said.

“It’s harder for them to repeat their delivery. If it’s hard to repeat their delivery, that’s when you can get some injuries but also just inconsistency.”

SIU redshirt freshman Jack Granath, who is tied as the tallest pitcher in the Missouri Valley Conference at 6 feet 6 inches, agreed the leverage his longer arms have gives him an advantage.

“If you asked any of the shorter guys, they’d all say they wouldn’t mind being my height,” he said.

“I think it’s an advantage.”

Finigan said shorter pitchers are often overlooked. He said he has heard stories of programs not recruiting pitchers shorter than 6 feet 2 inches.

“I could care less if a guy is 5 [feet] 5 [inches,] if he can get it done and I think he can get it done, we’ll recruit him.”

Finigan said generally the staff recruits taller pitchers, but it isn’t a make or break point. He said he likes to give smaller pitchers a

chance if they are good because he was a smaller pitcher himself at 6 feet.

He had a 9-3 record with a 3.24 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 105 innings his senior season at SIU, which led to the Detroit Tigers drafting him in the seventh round in 2005.

Freshman pitcher Ryan Netemeyer is tied as the shortest pitcher on SIU’s team at 5 feet 10 inches. He said pitching skill is dependent on speed.

“If you have a shorter body and you have a shorter arm, you can make up for it,” he said.

Netemeyer said pitchers have more variance in size than other positions.

“First basemen and third basemen are usually bigger guys,” Netemeyer said. “Outfielders are faster guys and middle infielders are more skilled guys, so usually shorter.”

Granath also played first base in high school. Netemeyer was also a middle infielder.
