Active Minds leave handprints for awareness

USG votes on RSO funding requests Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

Several Registered Student Organizations can look forward to funding for their events during the fall semester.

The Undergraduate Student Government voted on 16 RSO funding requests and appointed eight senators at its second meeting of the semester Tuesday in the Student Health Center Auditorium.

RSOs requested more than $28,900 for

events occurring Oct. 16 through Dec. 31.

The senate allocated roughly $15,600.

Treasurer Nick Roberts said at the current rate, a projected surplus of $15,000 would remain at the end of the year.

“Right now, fiscal responsibility and ensuring equal opportunity for all RSOs is our top priority on the student funding board,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the rest of the year to see what more we can do.”

There are still 20 open seats on the senate and Chief of Staff Shantel Franklin said in her two years in USG, there has never been a full senate.

“There is a total 42 seats but we have 22 senators who have petitioned and some of them are still waiting to get sworn in at the next meeting,” she said. “But we’re halfway full already, and I’m extremely excited about that.”

Recreation Center shows off new looks and programs

Chalk handprints made by students cover the pavement in front of Morris Library in remembrance of students who have committed suicide. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 1,100 students commit suicide each year.

Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day and the SIU branch of Active Minds, a Registered Student Organization and national organization, wants to change the negative perception around mental health.

Colleen Camarano, a junior from Chicago studying special education, and president of Active Minds, wants to increase suicide awareness so people will be compelled to seek treatment.

“Suicide has always been a private, personal issue,” Camarano said.

Camarano is one of the founding members of SIU’s branch of Active Minds, which began in 2013.

The group has more than 20 members, which is an increase from six members last year.

“I am so incredibly happy to see all of these people here,” Camarano said.

The group is comprised of students who have close connections with suicide, through friends, family or themselves.

Sean Douglas, a junior from Chicago studying biomedical science, has dealt with severe depression his whole life and has attempted suicide four times.

His first attempt was in 2010, after the rough breakup of his first relationship.

“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with,” Douglas said. “The feeling never leaves; it is like a creeping darkness. It’s like falling into a hole that was never-ending.”

Douglas, who joined the club this year, is very open about his past so he can help anyone in a familiar situation. One way he has helped cope is by playing video games, specifically “Halo”.

“When I was alone, I could go online and be the hero I wished I was,” he said.

Katie O’Dell, a sophomore from Chicago studying zoology, had to deal with the death of her best friend in 2009.

O’Dell enjoyed watching Star Wars and having fun with her friend from Chicago, who was the first person she met when she moved there in fourth grade. The two continued their friendship through high school, where they both played in the band.

“I was one of the last people to talk to him,” O’Dell said. “It still hurts to this day.”

The website for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention estimates more than 39,000 Americans died from suicide in 2011. Eleven percent of those deaths are from people aged 15-24.

All hands will be on deck for intramural Canoe Battleship, one of the new activities offered at the Recreation Center this year.

Shane Bennett, assistant director of intramural sports and sport clubs, said it is a tournament where teams of four will take to the pool to sink the canoe of the other team. Buckets will be provided for teams, but splashing is also an acceptable technique.

Corne Prozesky, associate director of facilities and operations, said he saw videos of other universities playing the game and is excited for students to find out how fun battleship can be.

“Seeing students getting in their battleships and then sinking each other,” Prozesky said.

“You certainly see some competitive nature among the pirates.”

Prozesky urges all students, regardless of athletic history to come out and play.

The tournament is Nov. 8, but it will host battleship on Oct. 28 to raise money for the Carbondale Splash Park.

Fit Fridays are another new program offered at the Rec. Stephanie Punda, a fitness graduate assistant, said Fit Fridays take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m one Friday a month. The program is geared for people who do not want to purchase a fit pass. Fit Fridays will range from a single exercise, to mixes of different exercises. The latest Fit Friday, on Sept. 5 featured 20-minute segments of different programs.

Punda said more than 40 students were in attendance.

“I hope just the opportunity to try the classes and have the ability to see there’s a different type of fitness out there, instead of just using the weight room, but seeing that a group setting can make a such a difference and keep them coming back,” Punda said.

All of the new activities, except the fundraiser, are free to attend.

The Recreation Center recently underwent renovations, which were the result of a $4 million energy conservation project to help the center be more energy efficient.

Prozesky said installation of 16 new heating

and air conditioning units was completed over the summer. New LED and skylights were installed in the swimming pool. LED is more efficient and skylights allow the center to not use lights during the day.

The roof of the complex was redone for the first time since 1977 and bathrooms had stalls, doors and other amenities replaced as well.

“We have the latest and greatest state-ofthe-art equipment and we save energy,” he said. “We will see a better product at a lower energy cost.”

The climbing wall also was upgraded. Three walls with different climbing difficulties were added. Students were able to suggest rock patterns and those designs were submitted to So iLL Holds, the company that made the handholds founded by alumni David and Daniel Chancellor.

“So far, everyone has told us they love the new walls,” Prozesky said.

Additional information about activities and event can be found on the Recreation Center’s website at reccenter.siu.edu.

Mission Statement

The DAILY EGYPTIAN is a “designated public forum.”

Student editors have the authority to make all content decisions without censorship or advance approval. We reserve the right not to publish any letter or guest column.

The DAILY EGYPTIAN, the student-run newspaper of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is committed to being a trusted source of news, information, commentary and public discourse, while helping readers understand the issues affecting their lives.

Douglas said students are susceptible to suicide because of stress and depression brought on by living alone for the first time.

“We’re not fully adults yet and stress hits you full force,” he said. “We don’t know how to deal with that stress.”

Group officer Madison Breidenbach, a senior from McHenry studying biological sciences, thinks the handprints will serve as great symbols for those who have died.

“No one knows 1,100 names,” Breidenbach said. “It’s a win-win just for people to notice.”

A new call to order was added to the agenda to address constituency and public concerns. President Cameron Shulak said the order was added to ensure the USG would be up to date with student concerns.

“In an effort to make sure that I hear everything that is going on, I want to make sure at every USG meeting that we give all the senators and the public an opportunity to voice any concerns they might have,” Shulak said.

The senate unanimously passed the official USG seal and the Student Health Initiative proposals, both of which were tabled at the last meeting.

Blast in Syria kills leaders of Islamist rebel group Mousab Alhamadee McClatchy Foreign Staff

ISTANBUL — An explosion of uncertain origin Tuesday killed nearly all the leaders of the largest rebel group fighting to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

At least two dozen senior leaders of Ahrar al-Sham, a conservative Islamist group, died in the blast, which came 10 days after the group had distanced itself from al-Qaida’s official Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front. The death toll, by some accounts, was as high as 75.

Activists and witnesses gave varying versions of what took place at a former government agricultural research

center outside the town of Ram Hamdan near the Turkish border that had become a major Ahrar al-Sham base. One account attributed the blast to a car bomb.

But a senior member of Ahrar al-Sham who tweets under the pseudonym Mujahid al-Sham posted on Twitter that the explosion had originated in a workshop for manufacturing bombs that was adjacent to the room where the Ahrar al-Sham leaders were meeting. He said the explosion detonated huge amounts of TNT. Among the dead was the group’s top leader, Hassan Abboud, and

its military leader, Abdulnaser al-Yassin, al-Sham tweeted.

Only one survivor was reported, Allam Abboud, Hassan Abboud’s younger brother. He was reportedly hospitalized in critical condition.

Al-Sham said in his Twitter account that the devastated meeting room had no windows and had quickly filled with acrid black smoke from the blast. He said it took 10 minutes for rescuers to reach the blast site and that by that time, most of the leaders and their bodyguards had suffocated.

Zaki al-Idilbi, a reporter for the opposition Orient TV, told

McClatchy that doctors who’d examined the dead told him that most had died from smoke inhalation and that injuries from the explosion itself were few.

Al-Idilbi said that most of the bodies had already been buried hours after the explosion, though a few were still waiting to be claimed by relatives.

Most of the dead were members of Ahrar al-Sham’s moderate wing, alIdilbi said.

The explosion was likely to prove fatal to the organization, which was once thought to have had as many as 35,000 fighters.

Those fighters now are likely to

drift to one of the other groups fighting in Syria — the Free Syrian Army, Nusra or the Islamic State, the extremist group that has declared an Islamic caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

McClatchy contacted one of the group’s surviving leaders and asked whether there was an official statement on what took place.

“No one is left to issue an official statement,” he said, asking that he not be identified by name for security reasons. “We are waiting for our brothers who are still alive to regroup so we can hold a meeting.”

Restored scholarships most important to Penn State Mike Jensen

Philadelphia Inquirer

(MCT) — When football recruiting experts, real or imagined, attach a ranking or stars to a recruit, they’re really setting odds.

The more stars, the better the odds of a payoff for the school that lands the recruit.

That’s all it is. In football, more than most sports, evaluating 15- and 16-year-olds, trying to figure what kind of player they’ll be at age 21, is a tough and risky business.

In addition to the inherent danger of the sport, that’s why Division I football teams get so many scholarships. It’s why the NCAA’s restoration of scholarships at Penn State is even a bigger deal than lifting the bowl ban.

You don’t get to the big bowls, into the Rose Bowl or the new four-team national playoff, without your full allotment of scholarships.

When the NCAA originally

announced sanctions against Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky scandal, it was those scholarships that then-coach Bill O’Brien and his staff focused most on.

It wouldn’t be a shock if the scholarship reductions had O’Brien questioning his own commitment to Penn State. He was suddenly the coach at a place that wasn’t “supposed to win it all.” That’s the retribution NCAA honchos had in mind.

Obviously, NCAA president Mark Emmert and the board that approved the original sanctions understood the consequences. They intended them to be severe, which is why they allowed Penn State players at the time to transfer and become immediately eligible anywhere else.

Renowned for his recruiting prowess, James Franklin and his assistants suddenly don’t have to make as many tough choices between players, with the scholarship limit moving up from 75 to 85. Odds are, one of the players who gets added to Penn State’s list will wind up being a starter.

Franklin’s star player at his last stop, Vanderbilt, receiver Jordan Matthews, is now with the Eagles. You think Matthews would have ever gotten out of his home state of Alabama if the Crimson Tide or Auburn had correctly forecast what he would become?

Two of the top five picks in the 2014 NFL Draft were from Central Florida and the University of Buffalo. Northern Illinois had a first-rounder. Fresno State had two second-rounders. You get the point. If everyone is guessing to a certain degree, you need as many guesses as possible.

That may even be more true when it comes to linemen. Sure, the big-time schools get first shot at the blue-chippers.

But look at this list of schools of all the offensive tackles drafted this year, in order: Auburn, Texas A&M, Michigan, Tennessee, Nevada, Alabama, Missouri, Virginia, North Dakota State, Michigan, Stanford, Purdue, Marshall, McGill, Kansas State, Portland State, Georgia

State, Miami, Boise State.

That’s 19 players, virtually all of whom would have accepted scholarships from Power 5 leagues if they’d been offered.

When Portland State ends up with a higher-graded guy than Oregon, it’s all a crapshoot of sorts.

All this is intentional. The big-time schools get 85 scholarships. The next level down, at FCS (or I-AA), they get 63.

There’s a side issue here, maybe a minor one. The NCAA wasn’t just sticking it to Penn State when it reduced scholarships. It was taking away scholarship opportunities for a certain number of football players who never had anything to do with Penn State. The ones who didn’t get offered by Penn State after the scholarship reductions still would end up at a Division I school, maybe in the Big Ten. Then there would be trickle-down — the Big Ten kid would end up at a Mid-American school, the MAC kid would go to I-AA, etc.

Eventually, a number of players would end up with no scholarship at all.

Maybe that’s minor, but it seemed wrong. Talk about victims who had nothing to do with a crime.

Just as big as the bowl restoration is a chance to play in the Big Ten championship game. In the scheme of things, that game is even bigger than most bowls. There’s no arguing that being bowl eligible and Big Ten-title eligible will greatly impact recruiting, too.

Getting to the big games that Penn State is now immediately eligible for, you don’t do it through smoke and mirrors or even X and O genius. You need players, every last one of them, four stars and two stars, blue-chipper Christian Hackenberg and walk-on Matt McGloin. (Don’t think for a second McGloin proves you can get it done with walk-ons. He’s the only one Penn State ever had to start at QB).

As of Monday, the Nittany Lions are back in the college football game that really counts. You don’t have to be a recruiting expert to see their odds just improved.

Emarosa ends four-year hiatus with ‘Versus’ Chase Meyers Daily Egyptian

When a band drops a vocalist, it could be because of internal or external reasons.

When that happens, fans tend to worry, like in the case of David Lee Roth’s departure from Van Halen in 1985.

Post-hardcore band Emarosa from Lexington, Ky. has had their fair share of lineup changes. Most recently is the band’s change from Jonny Craig, current vocalist of the band Slaves, to Bradley Walden, former Squid the Whale vocalist.

When Craig left it created a hole within the band, considering he recorded two full-length studio albums with them.

Emarosa had not released anything

more than several demos since their selftitled album was released in June 2010.

In 2013, they announced Bradley Walden as the new lead vocalist for the band.

Ever since the announcement, the band has been promoting a new album by dropping hints on social media, including two short trailers on YouTube.

The band’s fourth studio album, “Versus,” was released Sept. 9.

The song “Mad” was released in April. It could not have provided a better teaser. It has traces of old Emarosa, with plenty of new elements. It also gives the listeners a taste of what Walden brings to the band.

The album starts with the song “People like me, we just don’t play”,

followed by “American déjà vu,” both of which were released online prior to theelease of the album.

Both tunes exhibit what Emarosa has stood for as a band. They start strong with their distinct guitar sound, one playing rhythm while the lead plays melodically over top. There is also plenty of triplet drumbeats that add to the aesthetic of the album, while Walden wastes no time establishing his presence from the first couple seconds of the first song.

The next song “A Hundred Crowns” has a completely different vibe than the first two and is arguably the strongest song on the record. This song is tastefully triplet heavy and sounds like something from a southern blues-

rock band, but with a soulful edge in Walden’s voice.

The band continues to shake things up with the next song “I’ll Just Wait,” which is reminiscent of what rock ‘n’ roll became shortly after grunge died in the late ‘90s. With its slow building introduction and catchy chorus, it shows that simplicity can prove effective.

Walden truly shines in the next couple songs with an abundance of falsetto high melodies.

The album finishes strong with the song “1996 on Bevard,” ties in the heavier aspects of the band after two slower songs.

One thing missing in this album, which would have really perfected it, would be Emarosa bringing in

some heavier post-hardcore sounds.

Although the band started out heavier and have matured as a band, songs like “Set it Off Like Napalm” and “The Past Should Stay Dead” from their second album, “Relativity,” still seem much heavier than anything on this album.

This album provides a ton of beautiful hooks and melodies, something old or new fans could appreciate. It is a satisfying record that lived up to its hype.

Walden has successfully established his presence in the music scene and Emarosa has proven they are back and here to stay.

‘The Beatles’ complete mono catalog released on vinyl LPs Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

In one sense, Tuesday’s release of the complete mono catalog of the Beatles on vinyl LPs is the most technologically ambitious attempt yet to take what is arguably the most significant body of recorded music in the pop era and do ... absolutely nothing.

“This is a lot different than many other (reissue) projects,” said Steve Berkowitz, the lead producing

engineer on the 14-LP “The Beatles in Mono” set. Berkowitz, who has overseen elaborate and meticulous restorations of vintage recordings

by Robert Johnson, Miles Davis and many others, said, “The goal here was to replicate as closely as possible what their original intention was.

The music didn’t get any better. It stayed as great as it was.

“If the ‘Mona Lisa’ is the final work of (Da Vinci’s) art, then the

Beatles’ records that were released in the 1960s were the final work of their art.”

The new box set weighs a whopping 21 pounds, includes a 108-page book walking readers through the making of each album and is selling on Amazon.com for a hefty $375.

And that’s without the “Yellow Submarine” soundtrack, “Abbey Road” and “Let It Be” albums, which came out after the Beatles and their

label, EMI-Parlophone, belatedly adopted stereo as the preferred way to mix their music.

In addition to those original 10 mono titles, there’s a three-LP set featuring singles and other monaural tracks that did not appear on the studio albums.

It’s the final shoe to drop after the Beatles, their Apple Corps company and their label entered the digital era in 2010 by making their

recordings available for download on iTunes, and subsequently releasing the complete catalog on newly remastered CDs. Two years ago, “The Beatles in Stereo” box set made the music available once again on vinyl LPs, and now the mono box delivers the versions that were always closest to the hearts, minds and ears of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and producer George Martin.

The top 10 Prepping for customers best films of all time Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptian

What are the top ten best films of all time?

Anyone who pays his or her hard earned cash for a movie tends to have an answer to this question, although it’s not an easy one.

It is impossible to narrow down a list of all time best movies, but for the purpose of this list, I have done that.

Everyone’s list will be subjective. Some will have similar tastes, but no list is the same.

10. The Avengers (2012) There are few films that can match the fun, humor and excitement within The Avengers. The movie keeps you captivated every step of the way. It takes a concept long thought impossible: the formation of a team of superheroes, and makes it possible. Along the way it gives moments of genuine pathos that could challenge any film out there.

9. Ghostbusters (1984) Ghostbusters does what many of the best comedies cannot accomplish. It keeps you laughing the entire length of the film. It grabs you and never lets go. It is hard not to get into the adventures of Egon, Venkman, Stantz and the forgotten Winston, even after seeing it for the 100th time. It is an example of what happens when the ability of three comic geniuses come together to create a masterpiece.

9. The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) Few films are as brilliantly crafted as this. Everything from the score to the writing and acting is on point and leaves an impression long after the credits.

A film about hero worship and the media’s reaction to celebrities is mixed with the desolation of a western drama. By the end of the film, you are not sure who side you should be on. Who was the protagonist and antagonist?

8. Little Miss Sunshine (2006) I never thought a film about a little girl trying to make it to a beauty pageant could hit every emotional heartstring in me. A combination of terrific writing and performances from the entire cast make this film near perfect. It touches on family issues in a way very few films can.

7. The Big Lebowski (1998) The Big Lebowski is by no means the Coen brother’s greatest film. The movie does show just how far the Coen’s talent can stretch. Their idiosyncrasies and brand of humor clicks on every level. Jeff Bridges and John Goodman also give performances of a lifetime, which helps make this film.

6. Pulp Fiction (1994) Pulp Fiction is a film that hit me at a very early age and changed everything.

This film shows the talent of Quinten Tarantino and changed what a crime drama should be. Plot ideas and themes once thought old were rejuvenated with help of this revolutionary film. It is a clear example of what happens when the reins of an intelligent auteur are let go.

5. Annie Hall (1977) Woody Allen is a director whom filmgoers either prescribe to or they do not. Annie Hall is his magnum opus. It is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. One of the few films that looks at both sides of the relationship and gives them their equal due. It also touches on the theme of love like very few.

4. Jaws (1975) Jaws, one of the few films close to near perfection. Steven Spielberg is a master level director. There are very few bad films in his filmography and when I think of Spielberg, Jaws tends to come first. Jaws is pulse-pounding, heart-stopping and terrifying, everything a film should be.

3. Breakfast Club (1985) John Hughes knew how to write about teenagers in a unique way. He had a talent in making them feel human, where others got bogged down in stereotypes. Breakfast Club is the best example of this. Themes of acceptance, suicide and empathy are brought up like never before.

2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) It is unclear who should be given credit for this emotional rollercoaster of a film. Is it Frank Darabont’s combination as director and writer? Is it the acting of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman? Is it the source material written

by Stephen King? It does not matter. Shawshank, much like Jaws, is near perfect. It hits even the toughest of individuals and makes them feel in ways they thought impossible.

1. The Dark Knight (2008) The number one spot did not take a lot of thought on my part. To me, it is a no-brainer. The Dark Knight not only changed people’s movie going experience, but changed how the comic book genre was viewed It took a genre previously laughed at and never taken seriously, and forced everyone to appreciate it. The Dark Knight captures your attention and never releases throughout the entire 152 minutes.

Meet Apple’s new iPhone Paresh Dave

Los Angeles Times

Arriving Sept. 19, the new iPhone brings Apple in line with smartphones from Samsung, HTC and others while making a name for itself with powerful photo and video features.

The iPhone 6 comes in two larger, faster and thinner varieties than previous iPhones, allowing for sleeker horizontal display of apps and better gameplay, Apple announced Tuesday.

Prices start at $199, following Apple’s typical pricing schedule.

Buyers have the option for colors in gold, silver and “space gray.”

Apple had been expected for months to increase the size of the iPhone as the demand for smartphones with screens 4.5 inches or larger has doubled during the last year to encompass nearly a third of the smartphone market, with buyers choosing options from the likes of Samsung, LG and HTC. The smaller model has a 4.7-inch screen, a jump from the 4-inch screen on its predecessor, the iPhone 5S. It packs 38% more pixels onto the high-definition screen than the iPhone 5S, and comes in at 6.9 millimeters (about 0.25 inches) thick, about 0.7 mm less than the 5S. A second model, with a 5.5-inch screen and 7.1-mm thickness (also about 0.25 inches), is called the iPhone 6 Plus. With its large size comes 185% more pixels than the iPhone 5S and a much more powerful battery. It can hold its charge for 14 hours of high-definition video playback, compared to 10 on the iPhone 5S and 12 on the smaller iPhone 6.

While the cameras aren’t receiving significant megapixel boosts, both versions feature new camera sensors that produce faster, continuous autofocus and improved video stabilization. Another tool, similar to what some Android smartphones have,

lets users shoot a burst of photos and then choose to save the one with the best smile.

In another Android-borrowed feature, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be able to make phone calls over Wi-Fi. And

they now support WiFi 802.11 ac, which means that when the iPhone 6 is connected to newer routers that support the technology, Internet speeds can be up to three times faster, Apple said.

K arl M ondon B ay a rea n ews Apple CEO Tim Cook introduces the iPhone 6 and the Apple smartwatch at the Flint Center on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014, in Cupertino, Calif.

Women’s soccer club optimistic for new season Gabriella Scibetta Daily Egyptian

The 2014-2015 women’s soccer club opened its season by recruiting as many new players as possible.

Liz Bravo, a junior from Rockford studying biological sciences, and club president, said she has played soccer since she was 6 years old, and

is optimistic about this year.

“This is a rebuilding season for us since we lost a lot of players last semester,” Bravo said. “Four or five girls are returning from last year.”

Brittany Minninch, a sophomore from Tinley Park studying therapeutic recreation, and vice president, said the club will do a lot better than last semester.

Minnich said the new girls on the team are positive and enthusiastic.

“At the RSO fair, we had more than 60 girls sign up for the club,” Minnich said. “At the first practice, 15 showed up, which is a solid number for a team.”

Last season, the team was in the Woman’s Midwest Alliance Soccer

Saluki men finish eighth in Edwardsville Tony McDaniel Daily Egyptian

SIU men’s golf opened a new chapter with their first tournament of 2014.

The Salukis, led by new head coach Justin Fetcho, finished in eighth place at the Derek Dolenc Invitational presented

by DoubleTree. The Salukis’ tournament was highlighted by a third round 289, which moved the Salukis up the leaderboard four spots.

“While the 289 was a good score,” Fetcho said, “I still think the guys know we left some [shots] out there.”

The 289 in the third round was the second-lowest score of any team during the round.

Junior Drew Novara, who tied for 10th, led the Salukis. Novara shot a 67 in the third round to tie the lowest score of his collegiate career.

“The short game was really good today,” Novara said. “I got off the tee well, and hit some good approach shots. It just all kind of came together today.”

Novara attributed his success to being able to keep his emotions under control.

After the first two rounds on Monday, the Salukis were tied for 12th place with Drake University after shooting a 299 and a 305.

“After the first day we just kind of talked about some of the mental mistakes and positions we put ourselves in,” Fetcho said.

Senior Steve Souchek finished tied for 22nd with a three-round score of 224. Senior Brady Brown shot a 228 finish tied for 43rd.

Senior Wade Thompson carded a 72 in the second round on his way to a 61st place tie with fellow Saluki, sophomore Charles Hawn.

Senior Andrew Mitchell played as an individual and finished tied for 18th. Mitchell bounced back from a first-round 80 with a 71 and 72 to shoot a three-round score of 223.

Oral Roberts University finished at the top of the leaderboard, but was followed closely by Missouri State University and University of Tennessee at Martin. Missouri State and Tennessee-Martin finished in a tie for second, just one stroke behind Oral Roberts.

Fetcho said he was extremely excited to coach his first tournament at SIU and is already looking forward to the team’s next outing.

“I want to see us take away the positives that we had from this week,” Fetcho said. “I want us to keep putting the ball in the fairways, and keep putting ourselves in a position to attack these holes.”

SIU will continue its season with the Illinois State D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate in Normal on Sunday.

Conference, but because they had so few players, they were dropped from the conference.

“Eleven players [are] needed for fielding, but we aim for 15 to 18 players,” Bravo said.

A team in the conference plays about 10 games each season.

Once the team recruits enough players, it will look to join the WMASC again.

In the mean time, it will play local high school teams in Carbondale for extra playing time.

“We didn’t play any games last semester,” Minnich said. “I hope to play at least 3 games this semester.”

Like all club sports, money for the group comes from members and the Recreation Center Executive Board.

Brittney Noble, a senior from Darien studying business management, and club secretary said funding for travel, uniforms and spirit wear will depend on how many members the team ends up with.

All club sports meet with the Recreation Center Executive Board to present their plans for the money they are granted, on the first Wednesday of each month.

Funding aside, club leaders are looking to make this season a positive experience for anyone who joins.

“This semester, I’m focusing on rebuilding,” Minnich said.

“Making it more fun so more girls come out, meet new people, making new friends, getting involved and knowing more about their school.”

Bravo said it is exciting to see more interest in the club on campus.

“Outside of practice and games, I would want to incorporate more bonding with the rest of the team to make them want to keep playing,” Bravo said.

Although the team would be working on the growth of its players, it hopes to work on individual skills as well as team skills.

Noble said she hopes to get more girls to come out, even though it already started.

“We are just looking to have a lot of fun and form it like a group of friends getting together, hanging out, getting a good workout, and playing some soccer,” she said.

The team is open to having new members year round and looks to recruit and maintain a positive attitude throughout the year.

The team practices from 7 to 9 p.m. each Monday at the intramural fields, and 7 to 9 p.m. each Wednesday and Thursday at the track and field complex.

Salukis hold off Racers to open season with a win Thomas Donley Daily Egyptian

The Saluki women’s golf team opened its season in style Monday and Tuesday.

SIU added to its record books and capped off its first tournament of the fall with a dramatic win.

The team and sophomore Brooke Cusumano recorded one of the lowest single-round scores in school history Monday.

However, junior Mattie Lindner still needed to sink a par putt in the eighth tiebreaker hole to seal the victory.

SIU competed at the Jan Weaver – Murray State Invitational at Drake Creek Golf Club in Ledbetter, Ky., on Monday and Tuesday. The Salukis were part of a 12-team field for the threeround tournament.

The course at Drake Creek played 6,178 yards to a par-72.

The Salukis finished in second place after the first round, shooting 304 as a team.

Cusumano and Lindner both led SIU with scores of 74.

Xianmei Jin and Kris Grimes each posted a 78 in the first round. Kristie Yang shot an 81.

Competing as an individual in her first collegiate tournament, freshman Alice Ho carded a 75.

“Alice was great,” head coach Alexis Mihelich said. “If she keeps

it up in the next couple qualifiers, she could be playing in a couple tournaments.”

Western Kentucky University, led by freshman Emily Alexander, held a nine-stroke lead after 18 holes.

The Salukis followed their solid first round with a historic second round.

As a team, SIU shot a 292 in its second round of the day. The score is fourth-lowest in school history.

Cusumano led the Salukis with a 68 in the second round, placing her in a five-way tie for third place in the SIU record book for lowest individual score. Cusumano also scored a 68 at Drake Creek over the summer.

“I was just thinking, ‘have fun,’” Cusumano said. “No matter what happens, always just have fun and just roll the ball at the hole.”

Cusumano finished Monday’s competition in first place individually.

The Salukis’ efforts in the second round pulled them ahead of the Lady Toppers. SIU carried an eight-stroke lead over Western Kentucky into Tuesday’s third and final round.

After the third round, the Salukis were tied with host Murray State’s B team at 910. The Racers started the day in fourth place, 14 strokes behind SIU. Mihelich said the Murray State

golfers were birdie machines, as they shot a 291 to tie SIU. The Salukis and Racers played to a stalemate through the first four playoff holes. The teams were still tied heading into the fourth hole of the second playoff, but Lindner sank a par putt to seal the victory for SIU. “It was really nerve-wracking,” Lindner said. “But that’s what golfers live for. Golf ’s not a sport like basketball where your adrenaline gets pumping running up and down the court. It’s the putts that count that give you that energy.”

The third round started at 8:30 a.m., but the tiebreaker did not end until about 4:45 p.m.

“Overall we played pretty good,” Mihelich said. “But there’s some places where we can improve.”

Cusumano finished third overall individually, and Lindner finished tied for ninth, both career-bests.

Lindner said the Salukis are capable of continuing their success throughout the season.

“I just think we need to keep doing what we’re doing,” Lindner said. “Everything is there. This year can be a great year.”
