Carbondale police chief fired Tara Kulash Daily Egyptian

The Carbondale chief of police has been fired.

City Manager Kevin Baity announced Monday in a press release that he is dismissing Jody O’Guinn from his position and naming Deputy Chief Jeff Grubbs as interim police chief. Grubbs was previously deputy chief of administration.

“I have full faith and confidence in Deputy Chief Grubbs’ ability to lead the police department,” Baity said in the statement.

There is no timeline to find a permanent replacement for O’Guinn, who began his post in June 2009.

In June 2011, O’Guinn’s handgun was stolen

out of his car and he did not report it for a week.

Once he did report the theft, Carbondale police initially filed it as an animal control issue. Three months later the weapon was used in a murder in the city, leading to the sentencing of Matthew Jones for the death of Deaunta Spencer, 20.

Investigation of the circumstances surrounding the theft and how the police department handled it continues.

O’Guinn oversaw the department in March of 2012, when Molly Young, 21, died of a gunshot wound to the head. She was in the Carbondale apartment of Richie Minton, who was a Carbondale police dispatcher at the time. Minton faced no charges in the death.

Then SIU student Pravin Varughese went missing in February. The 19-year-old ran into the woods along Illinois 13 after having a conflict with another person. His body was found five days later and the public has since questioned the police department’s handling of the case.

Baity made clear in his statement that O’Guinn’s dismissal is not related to the recent incidents.

“I want to stress that my decision to dismiss Chief O’Guinn is a confidential matter and has nothing to do with the unsolved cases or recent litigation filed against the city and the chief,” he said in the release. “Any assumptions/allegations to this effect are completely unfounded.”

“It could have happened here” Sarah Niebrugge Daily Egyptian

Nearly 100 students and faculty rallied Monday evening in front of Grinnell Hall to raise awareness of the crisis in Ferguson, Mo. At the event, organized by Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha, community members discussed the aftermath of the death of Michael Brown, 18, who was reportedly unarmed when shot by a St. Louis County police officer on August 9.

Desmon Walker, a junior from Champaign studying business and finance, led the rally with opening statements regarding the timeline of the past week.

“We want people to be aware of what happened,” Walker, president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said. “Aware of both sides of the story because the officers’ version varies greatly from what other witnesses are saying.”

Walker said he hoped those attending have a peaceful reflection of people suffering from the events in Ferguson.

“This could have happened anywhere, it could have happened here,” Walker said.

Marquita Winston, a junior from St. Louis studying criminal justice and psychology, recited a poem she wrote for the crowd conveying her personal thoughts on the injustice of the situation. Winston ended the poem with the statement, “because I could have been Mike Brown.”

Nathan Stephens, director for the Center of Inclusive Excellence, spoke of his first-hand experience with racism. He said he questions whether media or activism was a stronger method of change.

storming a building?” he said.

Stephens said it is the younger generation’s duty to be active in the movement to ensure changes in the way situations like these are handled. A great way to work with

the younger generation is by mentoring, he said.

The rally ended with a group photo, where everyone raised their arms, counted to three and yelled, “Don’t shoot.”

Many similar photos have been posted on social media within the last week.

The “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” movement has become popular on social media, with more than 17,000 posts with the hashtag #handsupdontshoot on Instagram alone.

Housing opens doors to gender inclusivity Marissa Novel Daily Egyptain

Several students were welcomed into the university’s first gender-inclusive residence hall last weekend, at the Campus Pride Living Learning Community in Mae Smith Hall.

The LLC is a program through the LGBTQ Resource Center and University Housing that is “designed to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and or queer,” its website states. The floor allows students to live on campus without disclosing their gender.

Quentin Harris, a freshman from Lebanon, Ind. studying art education, said SIU providing a gender-inclusive housing option was the main reason he chose the university.

“It was either this or Alaska,” Harris said.

He was planning on attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks had it not been for the LLC. Les Billing, a senior from Batavia studying fashion design, who lives in the LLC, said he had roommate trouble while living in traditional dorms last year.

“At the beginning of last year, I started going by a different name,” Billing said. “It was really hard to deal with my roommates because they were not respectful of me being me.”

Billing identifies more as male than female, which made living with female roommates

particularly difficult.

“I just felt so uncomfortable that I didn’t even live in my room for a while,” Billing said.

“I was couch surfing.”

Billing said the gender-inclusive dorms were appealing because of bullying experiences in the traditional dorms. “[Bullying] was the biggest reason that I wanted to be on the floor,” Billing said, “I wanted to be able to be myself around people without having to worry about judgment.”

Billing appreciates names not being specified on the dorm room doors in the LLC because typically the gender of given birth names do not match the gender of students’ chosen names.

“I knew if they used birth names [on the doors], some of us would get really offended,” Billing said. “I know if they had our chosen names my mom would have freaked out.”

The absence of names helps students avoid disclosing their gender identity to their fellow residents.

Brett Shoemaker, a senior from Watseka studying mechanical engineering, who also lives in the LLC, said he is unsure about his gender identity, but appreciates the opportunity the new dorm arrangement gives him to explore who he is.

Manatees could lose endangered species status

Sarvela serves it up

Louis Sahagun Los Angeles Times

About 2,500 manatees have perished in Florida over the last four years, heightening tension between conservationists and property owners as federal officials prepare to decide whether to down-list the creature to threatened status.

Conservationists say the deaths are evidence of the vulnerability of the walrus-like mammals, which were included on the endangered species list in 1967 because of boat collisions and destruction of sea grasses in the shallow coastal inlets they inhabit.

But owners of waterfront property and businesses filed a lawsuit in April in federal court accusing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of failing to adhere to its own 2007 recommendation that down-listing is warranted because there are now more manatees than ever.

Most of the 4,800 pudgy sea-grassmunching mammals in the U.S. gather each year in Florida, where warm, temperate coastal water, power plant discharges and warm-water springs act as buffers to the lethal effects of icy winters.

The agency’s delay in implementing the recommendation prompted the Pacific Legal Foundation to sue on behalf of a group called “Save Crystal River Inc.” The group takes its name from the Crystal River, a destination about 100 miles north of Tampa, known for sport fishing and manatee tours in the vicinity of its headwaters.

“Environmentalists want to turn the entire Crystal River into a sanctuary, which would hurt our clientele,” said Christina Martin, a Pacific Legal Foundation lawyer representing property owners in the case. “Our clients simply want the federal government to pay attention to what its own biologists are saying and down-list.”

Opponents of down-listing argue that the agency’s recommendation came before two major mortality events. They also fear that decreasing protection would leave manatees more vulnerable to potentially catastrophic die-offs.

Chinese women use theater to push back against pressure to marry young Stuart Levenworth McClatchy Foreign Press

B E IJING — For young women in China who have ambitions beyond raising a family, life is a constant barrage of societal pressures to marry early _ preferably by 25, by no means beyond 27.

For these women, few things in life are more stressful than returning home annually on Chinese New Year and fending off questions about their unwed status. So stressful, in fact, that some have found it liberating to take the stage in Beijing to recount their ordeals before a public audience.

In China's capital over the last month, more than 15 women have gone onstage

to share their true-life stories about being labeled "sheng nu" _ a Chinese term that means "leftover women." Dubbed "The Leftover Monologues," the presentations proved surprisingly popular _ and the cast is considering whether to continue now that the original plan of three performances is completed.

"After the show, I had several women come up and tell me that my story sounded much like their story," said Fu Xin, a 31-year-old unmarried architect who appears in "The Leftover Monologues." "We are being told that we are too picky _ that we should compromise on making the most important decision of our lives."

Like Fu, nearly all of the women appearing in "The Leftover Monologues" are well-educated and off to a promising start in their careers. Even so, they say, family and even friends regularly taunt them for being too selective in life goals.

Yolanda Wang, one of the cast members, offered a withering account of an encounter with her father, who she said told her she needed to learn how to cook _ or risk a beating from her future husband. She also received laughs during a recent performance by poking fun at her less-than-railmatter how hard I try," she said in Chinese.

"So what? Should I just go die?"

Some themes in the "The Leftover Monologues" are familiar to women in many parts of the world: Unfaithful boyfriends. Abusive relationships.

Pressure by media and society to focus on their looks and behave in a way that doesn't threaten male sensibilities.

Yet several of the stories are uniquely Chinese. One woman told of being snubbed by men because she lacked a Beijing "hukou," a registration essential for receiving municipal services.

If a woman lacks hukou, families of prospective husbands have been known to derail the marriage, fearful that the woman's parents will move to Beijing

and became a burden on the rest of the family.

Another woman, Wang Anqi, described how her high school sweetheart broke up with her after his parents paid for him to attend college in the United States. Apparently, Wang said, his mother questioned why she lacked similar resources to pay for an expensive U.S. education.

"When it comes to marriage in China, there is a gap," said Wang, who is 24.

Young people start out viewing marriage as an expression of love, she said, but families traditionally view it as a "massive transaction that requires matching backgrounds and a fair trade of assets."

Germans say they accidentally tapped Clinton, Kerry calls Matthew Schofield McClatchy Foreign Staff

BERLIN — The German Foreign Intelligence Agency has admitted tapping "at least one" phone call each by current Secretary of State John Kerry and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton while they were aboard United States government jets, according to German media reports.

The reports claim Kerry's intercepted communication was a satellite phone call from the Middle East in 2013. Clin-

ton's communication was also a satellite call, in 2012, and was reportedly to then United Nations Secretary General to have been intercepted accidentally while German intelligence was targeting terror suspects in the Middle East and northern Africa.

The intelligence agency (the Bundesnachrichtendienst or BND) told German media that terror groups often use the same frequencies that the secretaries phone calls were made over, so

the calls were picked up. The calls were among what the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung said intelligence sources described as several cases of up accidentally during anti-terror communications monitoring.

The BND is the German equivalent of the American Central Intelligence Agency. German-American relations have chilled in the past year _ since former National Security worker Edward Snowden began leaking docu-

ments detailing the extent of America's global electronic spying and eavesdropping programs. Media reports about Snowden's leaked documents led to the revelation that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's private cell phone had been tapped, since the years when she was a lower ranking German minister and continuing at least until the summer of 2013.

The spy scandal includes the electronic spying on millions of private emails and electronic communications,

as American agents and pass on secret German government information.

The news reports outraged Germans, leading to favorable attitudes about the United States falling to their lowest levels in years and creating a public and private sense of mistrust.

Merkel has repeatedly called the U.S. spy program a breach of trust and noted that "friends don't spy on friends."

Meet the Editors Sarah Gardner

Jack Robinson

Editor in Chief

Managing Editor

In 2011 I started as a photographer at the DE in the middle of the Faculty Association strike, and I’ve worked here ever since. I am a senior in photojournalism and photography and have been at the DE for seven semesters. I’ve been the photo editor as well as the managing editor and now have the honor of leading the staff as Editor in Chief. I look forward to taking the DE to new heights, engaging with our readers, and embracing digital formats including social media.

Born and raised in Illinois, I am a journalism, advertising/IMC and political science major and plan to attend law school after college. I have been with the Daily Egyptian since I transferred in 2012. I have previously held positions with the city, design, copy and sports desks before taking the managing editor position in 2014.

Tony McDaniel

Jennifer Gonzalez Photo Editor

Sports Editor

I’m a graduate student studying digital documentary and this is my second semester at the Daily Egyptian. I’m interested in digital storytelling combining the use of still and moving image, sound, and social media. I was recently awarded my second grant with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, in which I will be joining my co-worker Luke Nozicka to document teenage pregnancy in the Dominican Republic this winter.

I’m in my second semester at SIU and also the Daily Egyptian.

I got to know the Saluki sports scene through covering the men’s tennis team, women’s golf team and softball team last semester.

In what little free time I do have between school and the DE I golf game but often fail. If you see me around campus feel free to stop me to talk about sports, don’t hate on my St. Louis Cardinals or Blues though.

Branda Mitchell Design Chief

I am majoring in Journalism, and planning to get a minor in Psychology. I am the Design Chief at the Daily Egyptian, but this year I also hope to occasionally write. I am from Chicago, where I went to Northeastern Illinois University for a year before transferring to SIU. This will be my third semester at the Daily Egyptian and I am excited to design on our new digital platforms.

David Carr, a media reporter at the New York Times, once said, “If you’re going to get a job that’s a little bit of a caper… where you interesting than you and tell other people about it, that should be hard to get into. No wonder everybody’s lined up trying to do it, it beats working.” After reporting at the DE since October, reporting and photographing this summer and preparing for my Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting trip this winter, drives me to be a journalist, as I enter my sophomore year.

Greenberg’s passenger pigeons tell a deeper tale Chase Myers Daily Egyptain

This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the death of the last known, living passenger pigeon. The bird, Martha, resided at the Cincinnati Zoo until her death on Sept. 1, 1914.

She was part of the once abundant breed, originating in Europe and eventually migrating to the eastern half of both Canada and the United States.

Joel Greenberg, an active member of the international group “Project Passenger Pigeon,” and author of the book titled, “A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction,” will be presenting on Tuesday in the Student Center Auditorium. He will be sharing insight on the species’ journey from once staggering numbers to its eventual extinction in the early 20th century.

“I have been interested in birds since the age of 12 and more recently I have been looking at historical natural history,” Greenberg said. “It was unlike any other bird in history.”

Greenberg focuses on three key factors when describing the bird’s individuality: abundance, aggregation and the rate at which the species became extinct.

“It was the most abundant bird in the United States, and probably the world,” he said.

Greenberg said at one time, the pigeons would flock in staggering numbers, some groups reaching hundreds of millions.

While numbers reached more than 6 billion in the 1860s, it would only take roughly 50 years before the entire population was wiped out, he said.

The reasons for such a quick decline of an abundant species can be found in the progression of technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, he said.

Greenberg said information and expansion played a crucial role in the extinction, with the help of two inventions: the railroad and telegraph.

The railroad allowed people to gather the pigeons into railcars and ship them all around the country, while the telegraph allowed for quick information of the pigeon’s location.

“They were the cheapest terrestrial protein and thus were highly coveted for food,” Greenberg said. “People continued shooting them and netting them until the last wild bird was taken . . . in 1902.”

Many people of the time believed a bird so large in numbers could never

become extinct. Therefore, little was done to protect and enforce laws protecting the endangered animal, he said.

“The story of the passenger pigeon is a powerful, cautionary tale that no matter how common something is – be it alive or something inanimate like fuel or water - we can cause its depletion if we are not careful in our use,” Greenburg said.

With a growing human population of 7 billion, the underlying story of the pigeon has never been more relevant, he said.

Greenberg teamed up with a number of passenger pigeon enthusiasts from around the world to build a movement called Project Passenger Pigeon. The project uses a wide variety of outlets with the goal of informing people of the pigeon’s story, as well as aiding the understanding of societies relationship with nature. The project also created a documentary on the subject, which is due to air on various public-broadcasting stations in the near future.

‘Cops’ fail to serve, protect and entertain Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptain

Lethal Weapon. Bad Boys 1 and 2. Beverly Hills Cop. These are all famous examples of buddy cop movies. Buddy cop movies are a staple in the action movie genre and for a time, they seemed to be the most popular genre out there.

People could not go to the theater without seeing a new pair of cops joining forces to fight the villain of the week. Unfortunately, “Let’s Be Cops” just blemishes the name of a classic genre.

“Let’s Be Cops” (Rated R; 104 min) is directed by Luke Greenfield (The Girl Next Door, The Animal), staring Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr. and Rob Riggle. The movie follows two struggling pals: a game designer and a former college quarterback, who decide to dress up as cops for costume party. After becoming neighborhood heroes for the night, the two decide to continue the façade. Eventually, after a slew

of awkward situations, the two run afoul of the local mob. They must then decide whether to give up on the fantasy or to fight the mob.

“Let’s Be Cops” is a film with an identity crisis. At times, the film wants to be a raunchy comedy with a little bit of ridiculous action movie violence thrown in. Because the film never fully decides what it wants to be, it never gains its footing and continually falls down any chance it gets. It seems as though someone gave the writers of the film Seth Rogan’s guide to writing an action comedy to read as homework, but they only read the Wikipedia summary. They got the gist of how to do it, but didn’t fully understand how to do it well.

The film is an example of how poor writing can bring a film down, even with a premise full of potential and a cast of talented comedians. Character progression goes nowhere and offers no resolution. Justin (Wayans) and Ryan (Johnson) each have their own set of problems throughout

the film, but no solutions are ever given. While everyone seems to change by the end of the film, it does not feel like genuine.

The film is full of jokes that do not land anywhere close to being funny. It’s hard to watch at times. Some jokes manage to be saved and even elevated past the source material. Many jokes are misused and the actors struggle their way through a majority of the film. No one is more misused than the Wayans. He seems to flounder for a large majority of the film. He is constantly looking for something funny to say, but only finds expository dialogue.

His true talent is shown in scenes where he is let loose to do what he wants.

“Let’s Be Cops” is a combination of bad jokes, a sloppy plot and a misuse of talent. It is a depressing film at times and even makes one wonder why they went to the theater in the first place.

Katy Perry’s rise to summer song supremacy Kevin C. Johnson St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Ever since Katy Perry kissed a girl in 2008, the pop singer has been the one to beat when it comes to infectious summer anthems.

A summer anthem, or song of the summer, is that one inescapable tune that rings out throughout the season, booming everywhere from radio and iTunes to advertisements and TV shows.

Think Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” last year, or jump back more than 50 years to the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ U.S.A.” “I Kissed a Girl” — from Perry’s second album, “One of the Boys” — was the soundtrack for summer 2008.

The song topped Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for nearly two months — and for good reason.

The ditty was undeniably catchy and memorable, and its zippy melody

was hard to shake: I kissed a girl and I liked it.

The taste of her cherry ChapStick.

I kissed a girl just to try it.

I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it.

Since then, Perry has shown up regularly as a summer staple, with “Waking Up in Vegas,” a hit in 2009, “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg taking over the following summer, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” in 2011 and “Wide Awake” in 2012.

Volleyball legend motivates dawgs Aaron Graff Daily Egyptian

Mike Hebert retired from coaching volleyball at the University of Minnesota in 2011, but said he was not ready to give the game up all together.

Herbert has traveled to visit teams during preseason the past three years to visit teams and motivate them. SIU was one of his stops last week.

During his coaching career, he won five Big Ten Conference championships and reached the NCAA tournament five times, finishing as high as second place in 2004. He also wrote “Thinking Volleyball” a book on coaching philosophy.

“If there are credentials, he is

the John Wooden of volleyball,” Saluki volleyball coach Justin Ingram said.

Hebert helped the team last season and junior hitter Taylor Pippen said she noticed a difference. “(Hebert) has taught us a lot about not only things on the court but also about the chemistry of the team,” Pippen said.

Sophomore setter Hannah Kaminsky said the team started slow last season, but once they realized it’s not only about the skills, they started playing better, and Hebert was a big part of that.

“It’s awesome getting the experience of having him here,” Kaminsky said. “He’s a volleyball legend.”

The Salukis finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference

last season, and Ingram said the team is focused on winning the championship this season.

“Our goals are so high this year,” Ingram said. “We’re looking at things that are unfamiliar.

We’re looking for championships.

We haven’t talked solely about that in, I don’t know how long.”

Hebert said he always enjoyed visiting Carbondale when he coached at the University of Illinois. He considers Ingram an up-and-coming coach who understands the game and has great potential.

“This school has taken some pretty good strides to establish itself at the [Division I] as an elite school,” Hebert said. “I’ve been really impressed during the last cou-

ple of times I’ve been here.”

Hebert said the team has a lot of size and athleticism. He said it needs to work on a few things, but watching one scrimmage was enough to get an idea of how it would finish the season.

“I’m not yet able to distinguish what separates this team from some of the others in the Valley,” he said.

Ingram said he is thankful Hebert has come in to help because the team is young.

“We have 15 athletes that are either freshmen or sophomores, of the 18 total,” Ingram said.

“That number is so big, there is a lot of maturing and a lot of understanding that needs to happen in order for us to get really

as high or higher than even the athletes think they can get.”

Hebert has done some coaching with team USA, and said the only way he would come out of retirement is if he got an offer to coach there.

“I’ve got my grandkids and my golf clubs back in San Diego,” Hebert said. “When I’m done, I’ll be headed back there.”

Hebert plans to help Ohio State University, Iowa University, Pittsburgh University and Concordia University Irvine before the season begins.

Michigan freshman Austin Hatch shares special bond with John Beilein Mark Snyder

Detroit Free Press

Michigan basketball coach John Beilein putting his left arm around Austin Hatch on Wednesday at the Davidson Player Development Center in Ann Arbor symbolized their unique connection.

The 61-year-old Beilein and 19-year-old Hatch are now that close, bonded at the hip by life, loss and lectures.

For more than four years now, Beilein has been watching Hatch, a 6-foot-6 freshman forward originally from Ft. Wayne, Ind. He saw him stand out in the Michigan basketball camp as a high school freshman.

He offered him a scholarship on the phone and got his commitment on June 15, 2011.

And he was crushed nine days later, along with the rest of the sporting world, when Hatch was in the second private airplane crash

of his young life, near Charlevoix, Mich. The crash killed his father and stepmother, like the one eight years earlier that took away his mother, brother and sister.

His family was gone, but Beilein remained.

“He came to the hospital to visit me twice,” Hatch recalled Wednesday after U-M’s basketball practice, in one of his first interviews since the 2011 crash. “Once when I was in Traverse City, I was in a medically induced coma and I didn’t know he was there. Then I remember the (other) visit vividly, he came to visit me at the RIC (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) in Chicago before I relearned how to walk. Talk about a man of loyalty. Coach Beilein, he’s the most loyal man I know.”

The conversation at that time has resonated with Hatch, even three years later.

“He told me when I was in a

wheelchair, Austin, I can’t wait for you to come here and play for me,” Hatch recalled. “We’re going to be honored to have you as a part of our program. It says a lot about the kind of man he is.”

Nothing was easy about the past three years.

From rediscovering basic life skills of walking and talking, to remembering the game he loved, to moving from his Indiana home to California for an extra senior year to get his bearings.

Beilein kept calling, every month to six weeks as the NCAA rules allowed, bringing along the person, not the player and building an intense relationship.

“It’s pretty close,” Beilein said.

“Between he and I and then (assistant) Jeff (Meyer) _ we were basically in the early recruiting process _ and to his family, we’re very close with everybody. We’re all in this together to help him live his dream

_ playing at the Michigan basketball program and getting a degree from the University of Michigan.”

Which brings Hatch to the present. He’s wearing the No. 30 jersey for the Wolverines and living each day on the Ann Arbor campus.

As he began classes this summer in the bridge program, transitioning athletes into the academic environment, he reconsidered his dream of following his father Stephen’s medical training.

Now Hatch ponders becoming a business executive at the school where both grandfathers and his mother attended and his father did lab work.

U-M is the place that got him to “bleed maize and blue from an early age.”

On the court, he remains motivated as ever.

Hatch’s basketball skills are far from a Division I recruit. He spent much of Wednesday’s practice do-

ing individual drills and currently is not expected to be in the playing rotation for the team’s upcoming exhibition trip to Italy.

Yet listening to him describe his journey, regaining the nearly 50 pounds lost when he was in the coma, to having a muscular, athletic body, it’s tough to imagine he’ll ever be satisfied, holding a singular motivation.

“It’s really my father,” Hatch said. “I’ve done my best to honor him during my recovery. He taught me how to work hard from an early age and that’s the only thing I know. It’s a process. I’m trying to embrace the journey.

“I’m going to get there in time. I’m not going to be there tomorrow, not next week probably. It’s going to be awhile. I had to re-learn how to walk and talk. I was obviously impaired significantly. Getting back to the level where I’ll be able to represent Michigan on the court is just going to take time.”

Senior linebacker set to lead defense

N athaN h oefort

Tony McDaniel Daily Egyptain

One of the Salukis’ nine returning starters on defense has turned into a proven leader on the field and sidelines.

Senior outside linebacker Tyler Williamson is one of the faces of the 2014 Saluki football team. He is a captain on defense and is on the team poster and media guide.

Williamson earned the honor of being one of the faces of a Division I football program through his impressive play on the field. Since 2012 he has played in 23 games and recorded 98 tackles and 8.5 sacks. He was also named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference AllNewcomer team in 2012.

Williamson is not only a talented player in between the sidelines, but also in between the ears.

“He has a knack for being wherever the ball is,” outside linebacker coach Travis Stepps said. “He’s one of those guys that can get turnovers for your defense whether it’s through a pick or through a forced fumble or strip.”

Williamson is more than just a leader through his play on the field. He can often be seen alerting his teammates of potential plays or correcting mistakes less experienced teammates make.

Williamson said his coaches did not have to ask him to be the vocal leader on the sideline. It’s just something he wants to do.

“It’s in my character,” he said.

“Since I’ve gotten in college I’ve just understood the importance of having someone who will take control when chaos is going on. I’ve just found it to be very productive especially in my position group.”

Stepps said Williamson could be used almost as an extension of the coaching staff thanks to his experience and vocal leadership.

“He’s familiar with the lingo and the terms,” he said. “We always ask when we’re doing team reps to go over and coach guys on the sideline. The more we can help each other the better we will all be.”

Senior inside linebacker Jordan Poole has shared the field with Williamson for 23 games since 2012, which has helped the two linebackers build strong chemistry on the field. But they are also close off the field. The two Salukis are roommates.

“We have a good relationship,” Poole said. “He’s from east Tennessee, I’m from middle Tennessee, so naturally we have a connection there.”

Poole said he and Williamson like

to fish together in their free time. Both players are also Tennessee Titans fans.

So far this year during practices Williamson has gotten a break from the coaching staff. During team sessions Williamson gets a bit of a rest on the sideline while younger players get repetitions at outside-linebacker.

“It’s really nice for me to be honest.

It gets me some rest for my legs,” Williamson said. “I’ve been here for two seasons and started so it’s just as good for me on the sideline to help coach these young guys up.”

Despite Williamson’s break, Stepps said he wants to see Williamson improve his durability.

“It’s a physical position playing outside linebacker,” Stepps said. “Just being able to stay healthy and play physical throughout a 12-game season is going to be tough to do. He’s taking care of his

D aily e gyptiaN -

body and he’s going to have a chance to have a good season for us.”

Williamson said he gained 10 to 15 pounds during the offseason to help build up his body for the physical demands of his position.

The Salukis will return nine starters from the 2013 season and Williamson said he expects his defense to be tough.

“I think we’re really strong,” he said.

“It helps that we’ve had a good spring and a good start to the fall. Most of the guys on the team have played together here in the first team… I’m pretty happy with where we are as a defense right now.”

Summer golf heats up Saluki clubs Tyler Davis Daily egyptian

Instead of pouting about a disappointing 2013-2014 season, the SIU men’s golf team got to work.

When collegiate play ended in May, many SIU golfers kept their seasons alive by playing in a number of high profile amateur tournaments.

Junior Drew Novara played in tournaments across the state with other Saluki golfers. He said most of his teammates also participated in various events to ready themselves for the season.

“Ben Patton played in quite a few SIGA tournaments with me,” Novara said. “Steven Souchek played quite a few tournaments. Brady Brown played in a few and won his club tournament. Most of our team played in some tournaments.”

Novara was among the most active players, competing in nearly 20 tournaments, winning five of them, and qualifying for the USGA National Tournament. He said playing these tournaments against other good amateurs could only help.

“Its helped me quite a bit; most of the tournaments have a pretty good field,” Novara said. “The pressure of playing in the last group of any tournament is similar to the pressure in college tournaments.”

Senior Andrew Mitchell was also invited to the USGA National by winning the qualifier in Bloomington. He said the added practice would especially help as the team faces a tough schedule in the spring, which includes visits to The Ohio State University, the University of Louisville and Purdue University.

“We’ve got a very tough schedule in the spring,” he said. “We’re going to see some competition we’ve never seen before as a team. But we’ve got more talent than we know what to do with.

If we continue to work hard we should be fine.”

Senior Steve Souchek had a successful summer on the amateur circuit. He competed in the final Public Links Tournament, a yearly open tournament for all golfers who do not belong to a country club.

He said extra swings in practice help any golfer while nothing beats the competition of tournament play. Not only will the added play help Souchek on the course, he said it will also help with his relationship with Fetcho.

“The more golf you play before the season starts, the better prepared you

are,” he said. “Coach doesn’t know me that well as a person, but he will see that all summer long I put in a very good effort. I think that will give him a little added trust in me as a player.”

With 18-year Saluki coach Leroy Newton retiring in May, head coach Justin Fetcho inherits a team that had its effort in practice questioned by Newton last season. That does not seem to be the case this season as nearly every golfer on the team played in at least a handful of tournaments.

Fetcho, a former golfer at the University of South Florida, said playing summer golf is very important for regular season success.

“Its good to hear that guys are putting in work even after the season ends,” Fetcho said. “You can tell who has been working and who has been

playing over the summer, and those will be the guys who will stand-out to begin the season.”

Souchek, Novara and Mitchell played in the majority of tournaments last season under Newton. Fetcho, though, says it is an open competition for the five spots in the lineup, but practicing over the summer goes a long way towards consistent play.

The team tees up its fall season Sept.

8 at the Derek Dolenc Invitational at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The Salukis struggled at the same tournament last year, finishing in 9th place in the field of 12.
