Neighborhood Co-op hosts annual Carbondale farm crawl FARRAH BLAYDES | @Farrah_Blaydes

On Saturday and Sunday, the Neighborhood Co-op began its annual Carbondale farm crawl. The event began at 1 p.m. and lasted until 6 p.m. A farm crawl is the produce version of a scavenger hunt. Members of the community were given directions by the Neighborhood Co-op staff on how to proceed with the event. Once participants arrived at the Coop, they were directed inside where they could purchase passes. The passes allowed people to visit 14 different farms across southern Illinois, receive tours from the farmers and see where their food comes from for $20. According to the Co-op website, the farm crawl is a fundraiser for Food Works, a non-profit organization facilitating the development of a regional food economy in southern Illinois. The proceeds of every ticket purchased went to the organization. After receiving the passes from the Co-op staff, participants were given a map of the 14 different locations both near and far where they were allowed to freely explore. The crawl allows smaller farmers to market to bigger audiences outside the Saturday farmers market. Five Hen Farm, located in Buncombe, Illinois, is a family farm that operates on six acres in Union County. The farm sells pasture eggs, poultry, pork, and Thanksgiving turkeys. Andrew Banks, co-owner of Five Hen Farm, was a representative for his farm. “We sell at the Carbondale farmers market, the Cobden market and an online farmers market called LEAF,” Banks said. LEAF is an acronym for Little Egypt Alliance of Farmers. Charlotte Clover, owner of the Lavender LLC along with her husband were participants in the farm crawl. The couple sold soaps, wax melts, tea,

"It’s hard to compete with the big producers selling everything for 69-cents-a-pound [...] so you have to find a way to diferentriate your product from the competition.”

and bundles of various types of dried lavender. The LLC is a limited liability company in the United States of America, a specific form of a private limited company. “We put our first plant in the ground in 2014, so we have operated three seasons,” Clover said. The hardest part of farming is that we lose plants every year and we have to replant the plants we lose every year, Clover said. Chassidy Mayes, one of the owners of Mustard Seed Sowers farm was one of the representatives for the farm. This particular farm which has participated in the farm crawl for two years is located on a small plot of land in a residential community.

The farm practices chemical free organic growing. Mustard Seed Sowers sells goods ranging from tea to medicinal herbs. Mustard Seed Sowers primarily markets through the farmers market but they also have an online presence. “We sell at the Carbondale Saturday market, the winter market at Carbondale high school and we have a online presence with our website and social media,” Mayes said. The farmers market differs from the crawl in many ways, Mayes said. “At the farmers market you're focused,” Mayes said. “You talk to us a little, but the crawl allows that customer connection, they know who we are, where we are and how hard we work.”

ALIAS RSO explores BDSM, polyamory, kink, and fetish lifestyles RANA SCHENKE | Daily Egyptian

The Alternative Lifestyles, Identities and Sexualities RSO gives presentations exploring BDSM, polyamory, kink, and/or fetish lifestyles. ALIAS held its first meeting Friday night. “ALIAS is an experience-based and positive reinforcement education support group for those who are interested in risk-aware consensual sexual practices,” Nakkiah Stampfli, a

senior studying university studies and president of ALIAS, said. This includes people interested in exploring the BDSM, polyamory, kink, and/or fetish communities. The term BDSM is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D (bondage and discipline), D/S (dominance and submission), and S/M (sadism and masochism,) according to Wikipedia. “Our ultimate goal is to create a safe space for SIU students and

some community members […] to explore their sexualities, to explore their identities, to explore polyamory, to explore BDSM,” Simon Blackfell, secretary/treasurer of ALIAS and a graduate student studying public health, said. ALIAS gives presentations for members on different topics related to BDSM, polyamory, kink and fetishes. “It’s important to reiterate that not everything that we educate on is inherently sexual,” Stampfli said.


Wednesday, september 19, 2018 “There are many aspects of the BDSM, kink and fetish communities that actually have little to nothing to do with sex.” The group also does presentations on safety, including internet safety, Blackfell said. Blackfell said one of the important internet safety practices in the BDSM community is the idea of a safe call. “A safe call is a friend that knows that you’re going somewhere to meet someone,” Blackfell said. “You’ll give them details like where you’re going, who you’re meeting... you can snap a picture of [the person’s] driver’s license and […] text it to [your friend].” Blackfell also said a safe call is a way to check in and make sure everything is okay — if the friend doesn’t hear from you at a certain time, that means they should call you. If you don’t respond, they should send help immediately. Safe calls are important when meeting someone found on the internet since you don’t actually

know the person, Blackfell said. “Anybody can be anybody on the internet,” Blackfell said. “And unfortunately one of the few resources for people in alternative lifestyles is often the internet.” ALIAS hopes to provide an inperson resource to people interested in alternative lifestyles in the area, Stampfli said. “[We want to make] sure that anybody who’s interested has [a] community, community is really your best resource,” SIU student and ALIAS member M, who asked to remain anonymous, said. “It provides safety, in that it teaches you how to do things safely and not hurt yourself or somebody else.” M said they looked for resources online and found the group that way. This will be their fifth year in ALIAS. “[I] decided to go to a couple of the meetings and honestly, it was the best thing I could have done,” M said. “I made so many great friends, met so many great people

page 5 in this community.” Stampfli said the first couple meetings this semester will focus on icebreakers and team-building to foster community amongst members. “We are all very unique individuals with very unique academic interests and social interests,” Stampfli said. “Getting to know each other outside of this community and what we have to offer to the rest of the world outside of that is important.” One of ALIAS’s goals this year is to gain members, Stampfli said. “We haven’t been able to promote our events thoroughly as I would have liked to and as other officers would have liked to in previous years,” Stampfli said. “Now that we have the opportunity and the platforms [as an RSO], I think membership expansion is a big [goal of ours].” One of the setbacks for the organization’s attempts to become an RSO was that many members did not want to put down their information to be listed as members

of the group, according to Stampfli. Because of this, ALIAS has special precautions in place to protect members’ privacy. Members are allowed to go by whatever name they want at meetings, and at the beginning of their Friday meeting, ALIAS officers read the organization’s discretion and membership clauses aloud to attendees. In order to become members, people must agree to not speak about other members’ affiliation with the group and to not approach them outside of meetings unless the other person specifically states that they are okay with being approached, among other things, Stampfli said. Members who violate the clauses will be removed from the group, Stampfli said. “With openly being involved with the kink, BDSM, and fetish communities, there are some repercussions that do come along with that,” Stampfli said. “People

have lost jobs, have lost grants and scholarships and housing… custody of children, [and] relationships.” Understandably, some members would prefer not to be publicly affiliated with the group, Stampfli said. “A lot of our members want to keep things more private,” M said. “They may use an alias at ALIAS, but they’re no less members than the ones who are publicly associated with us.” Membership is open to SIU students, as with all RSOs, but also to members of the greater community, Blackfell said. Non-students do not get a vote in matters of how the organization is run, but can still attend and participate in meetings and events, Stampfli said. “Whether [interested people] have no experience in the community at all or they’ve been in the scene for thirty years, they are more than welcome to attend our meetings and get the education and support that they deserve,” Stampfli said.

Allie Tiller | @allietiller_de SalukiTech closed on Friday, and will be replaced by an esports center and makerspace in the future.

SalukiTech Shuts Down in Student Center, esports center and makerspace to replace KALLIE COX | @ KallieC45439038

The SalukiTech computer store, located in the Student Center, closed last Friday, and moved out of the Student Center on Saturday. Tena Bennett, the director of the Student Center, said the decision to close SalukiTech was made by the university administration in early August. “The university is moving forward with a new esports facility, as well as a makerspace,” Bennett said. “The current location of SalukiTech and the Innovation Hub have been deemed the appropriate place for these new endeavors.” The SalukiTech service center in Morris Library will remain open

until further notice. In the Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday, SIU Chancellor Carlo Montemagno said the esports facility should be fully operational by the end of the semester. “Another key element we are putting in place is an esports competition center,” Montemagno said. “We are building a competitive building for both intramural and intercollegiate.” In the Board of Trustees meeting, Montemagno also mentioned the university’s plans to build a new makerspace as a way to fuel student innovation. Montemagno said the makerspace would be one of the largest in the nation and would allow students to innovate in a

variety of disciplines. Bennett said she was unsure of how much notice was given to the employees of SalukiTech before the closure. “SalukiTech is a tenant of the Student Center and we do not manage the employees,” Bennett said. “They are employees of Information Technology, not the Student Center.” At the time of publication, the manager and employees of SalukiTech declined to comment on the closure.

Jeremy Brown | @JeremyBrown_DE SIU School of Medicine Dean and Provost Jerry Kruse responds to a presentation, next to SIUC Student Trustee Brione Lockett at the SIU Board of Trustees meeting, Sept. 13, in the Meridian Ballroom at SIUE.

Many reorganized schools are in the final steps of approval, says Montemagno KALLIE COX | @KallieC45439038

SIU Chancellor Carlo Montemagno said half of his reorganization plan’s proposed schools had been approved at the SIU Board of Trustees meeting Thursday. Montemagno said the proposed school plans are sent to the office of the president for approval within a week. “This reorganization is part of creating the nimblest...allowing us to address the need to deal with the ever-changing dynamic and nature of education that will allow us to be competitive,” Montemagno said. Montemagno also said that to show a commitment to innovation the university will be creating a “makerspace” where students can work in a variety of disciplines to create and innovate. In addition to the makerspace, Montemagno said the University is

creating an esports competition center and has already joined the National Association for Collegiate Esports. “We are building a competitive building for both intramural and intercollegiate,” Montemagno said. “It is under construction right now it should be fully operational by the end of the semester.” Montemagno said the university can no longer rely solely on funding from the state of Illinois and must look elsewhere for more funding. “We have to find new avenues for providing revenue and capital beyond that,” Montemagno said. “We are looking towards providing [many] opportunities [...] an opportunity zone that’s going to make placement of innovative businesses and entrepreneurial startups in our region.” During his report, Montemagno said the freshman class of 2022 is the strongest class academically to be

accepted at SIU since 1990, the furthest back the statistic has been recorded. Todd Bryson, interim associate chancellor for diversity, spoke about diversity at SIU and said in 2016, minority students made up 29 percent of our total enrollment. During the meeting there were 30 minutes allotted for public comments and questions. Two speakers were scheduled during this time however neither were present. There was one faculty appeal and one student appeal voted on to be approved or denied, the board denied both appeals. 20 items were approved via omnibus at the meeting, including a salary increase plan for 2019, HVAC maintenance for the SIU School of Medicine, and the purchase of a new identity management software. The next board of trustees meeting is scheduled for Dec. 13 at SIU Carbondale.

Carbondale mayor threatens firing of Human Relations Commission chair over community roundtable KALLIE COX & AUSTIN PHELPS

Jerrold Hennrich, Carbondale Human Relations Commission chair, said he received two phone calls from the city manager advising him not to go through with a Thursday roundtable because the university might be insulted. The roundtable was meant to facilitate a conversation with community members, Southern Illinois University officials and students to discuss a proactive way to attract new students and businesses as well as retain young professionals in the community, according to the roundtable press release. Comments and concerns voiced during the roundtable would be collected and incorporated into recommendations that will be presented to the Carbondale city council, according to Hennrich. “I said [to the city manager], ‘We’re kind of [an] advisory body to you. It doesn’t really work the other way around,” Hennrich said. “He called me again and asked me not to, [the] diversity officer called and asked me not to, then the mayor called me and fired me.” Because of the way the Human Relations Commission is set up, however, commissioners can’t be “fired” in the traditional sense of the word,

“What I'm not going to allow the mayor of this commuity to do is eliminate the Human Relations Commission through attrition. I've got several vacancies on the commission as it is, and if he doesn't want to appoint people, we just lose the commission entirely.” - Jerrold Hennrich Human Relations Commission chair, Carbondale

Hennrich said. “He said that I was effectively fired… and to not show up at the next meeting,” Hennrich said. “[The commission has a] statute that requires him to take a vote of the city council to either remove me from office or replace me.” Hennrich said until the mayor gets the necessary votes, he will stay in his position. “What I’m not going to allow the mayor of this community to do is eliminate the Human Relations Commission through attrition,” Hennrich said. “I’ve got several vacancies on the commission as it is, and if he doesn’t want to reappoint people, we just lose the commission entirely.” Hennrich said the Human Relations Commission has been a thorn in the side of city administration because

it talks about sensitive issues that administration doesn’t necessarily want to address. Hennrich said the commission invited Chancellor Carlo Montemagno and Interim President J. Kevin Dorsey to attend the roundtable and both declined. “I already knew the answer [before I asked], to be honest,” Hennrich said. “There’s a board of trustees meeting tonight, so I didn’t expect that they would attend.” The SIU Board of Trustees meeting took place at 9 a.m. in Edwardsville, Illinois. The mayor and the city manager also declined to attend, Hennrich said. The roundtable was open to both Carbondale residents and students of SIU. No current SIU students were in attendance.

“It’s the duty of every citizen to try to figure out how to be responsive to the needs of the people,” Hennrich said at the beginning of the roundtable. “This is a democracy; we’re going to talk about it,” Hennrich said. “This is our community.” Some of the issues discussed at the roundtable included decline in diversity in Carbondale and at SIU, the separation between SIU and the rest of the town, and declining enrollment at SIU. Karriem Shariati, one of the commissioners facilitating the roundtable, said he started to take serious note of the enrollment issues while driving around campus last spring. “What I noticed [while driving] was, I could literally drive on the sidewalk from the Communications building circle drive past Thompson Point and

not hit a student,” Shariati said. “That’s when it became real to me.” SIU’s enrollment has hit a new low of 12,817 students for Fall 2018. According to another commissioner, Ted Gutierrez, the group he facilitated at the event discussed diversity in university employees as something that could be improved. “[We need to figure] out a way to attract the diversity that we have in our student body [in our staff],” Gutierrez said. “If we have a student here that can’t relate to administration, faculty or staff, then how are we going to be able to recruit them and retain them?” John Lenzini, Building and Neighborhood Services Supervisor and roundtable attendee, brought up another concern with administration. “One consistent theme that we’re [seeing] is the constant, constant, constant change in leadership at SIU,” Lenzini said. “That’s a problem, I think the university is suffering a lot from the lack of leadership.” Shariati brought up former SIU presidents Delyte Morris and Roscoe Pulliam as examples of strong university leaders. “You need to have a good handle on academics and on finances and all that, but we really need a visionary,” Shariati said. “At this point, we’re right back to where we were with Roscoe and Dr. [Morris].”

Column: A day-long nightmare, a Conjuring movie marathon EMILY COOPER | Daily Egyptian

Imagine this: it’s raining and gloomy outside. It’s a perfect day to do absolutely nothing. Inside it’s a nice 67 degrees. You are laying on a cozy couch in your boyfriend’s living room covered in two blankets, one is a black and maroon tied blanket with a charcoal gray soft blanket covering the one underneath. You have your remote to your left with a laptop for your notes on your lap, while a table full of different snacks cover the surface. You turn on the tv that sits on a dark, wooden stand in front of you and the words “The Conjuring” appear on your screen in yellow. It’s time for a movie marathon. I couldn’t watch all five movies alone so, of course, I asked my boyfriend Chase to watch them with me. We started this day full of movies at 11:30 a.m., and we left the movie theater at 11:30 p.m. The Conjuring First up was The Conjuring, and let me tell you, it took a while to get interesting. An hour into the first Conjuring and I already ripped opened my first snack of the day: Keebler’s Fudge Stripes cookies. All I could think is why I didn’t go to the gym before I started this marathon, I mean I think I ate enough snacks for five people. In the first Conjuring, two paranormal investigators (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) look back on a case that deeply disturbed them. In a rural house, the Perron family is terrorized by a demon and the investigators attempt to remove it. The pop-ups weren’t really scary, but I did get creeped out about some of them. The creepiest part, I would say, is when the demon or the Salem Witchcraft mother went after Judy, the investigator's daughter. That's how you know it

Hannah Smith | @h_lou_s

has power outside the home. By the end of the movie, I was sitting criss-cross applesauce in the corner of the sectional with both blankets draped over me waiting impatiently for The Conjuring 2. The Conjuring 2 When the second Conjuring started, I tried out the recliner adjacent to the couch, but it didn’t last long. What a terrible chair Chase’s roommate bought. My time in it lasted about five minutes. The same investigators of the previous story travel to Britain to aid the Hodgson family with another demon. Shocker.

During this movie, I jumped when the demon popped-out at Billy, the main character’s brother, while in his fort at the end of the hallway, that one got me so good. I loved how original this movie felt. I liked how complex the demons were in this one, where it wasn’t just one demon collecting a person’s soul. This movie had the complexity I was missing in the first movie. Even beyond the scares, I still wanted to know the backstory of the demons. The Conjuring 2 has a really good soundtrack. It made me feel fully immersed in their 1970’s British home, with songs like The Clash’s

“London Calling” and Bee Gees’ “I Started A Joke.” I noticed each house in the series has been really big. I don’t know if the family's houses were this big in the true stories, but it definitely made me feel like the setting was larger than just one home. Conversely, Chase’s apartment is like a box. It’s super nice for a guys house, but it’s not very homey. Right after Conjuring 2, Chase asked me if I was hungry, and I jumped out of the couch I was laying on because I thought he was the nun. Don’t laugh. Annabelle

This one was a trip. There was no time for any breaks, besides when I had to hit up Family Video, and Annabelle was sold out. For a movie about a doll that appears everywhere I couldn’t find it anywhere. So we rented a cheap copy of Annabelle: Creation because I’m too broke to afford Amazon for two movies in a row. When we came back, we went upstairs to watch Annabelle on Chase’s Xbox 360 through Amazon. Chase cursed Jeff Bezos for the $4 price of the rental. This old doll haunts a family, and a friend of the mother comes to help. It’s boring. I almost fell asleep during Annabelle because I didn’t like it as much. After seeing the greatness of The Conjuring 2, Annabelle’s failure to grab my attention was disheartening. Annabelle: Creation Now this, this is a movie. This wife and husband lose their daughter when she’s hit by a car. Then a nun and a group of female orphans come to live with them. This disabled girl can’t leave the house, so she finds the daughter’s room, finding Annabelle. Great. She’s back. It was in-depth about the demons, and the story behind it. I loved how the mom of the deceased daughter had a different side of the story to tell. As this demon occupying Annabelle, praised the young disabled girl, the story finally gave the scare that I was desiring in the first Annabelle. The movie was so enticing that Chase’s roommate, Joey, had to sit in and watch part of it. I didn’t mind since he was quiet, and he was only there for about 10 minutes. The movie kept me on the edge of my seat while making me too scared to sit all the way on the back of the couch fearing that someone was behind me. By the end of the home portion for this marathon, I was drained


Wednesday, september 19, 2018 mentally. It felt good to stand up because that many movies feels like a road trip. I needed to leave the house. I needed to see The Nun. The Nun After we finished Annabelle: Creation, Chase and I took another walk outside, following our long day cooped up inside. It was time to finish off our day-long nightmare with The Nun. We drove to the Carbondale AMC to find out, after standing in line for 10 minutes, that The Nun was practically sold out. Bummer. We stood around the theater aimlessly trying to get signal on Chase’s phone to see if any other theaters were still selling tickets to the movie. We saw Marion still had openings. So, we drove 30 minutes to Marion to watch "The Nun" in theaters. By the time we arrived, it was around 9 p.m. When we got there, I paid for my ticket and a drink to share with Chase, while he bought his ticket and popcorn for me to throw later. We waited for 20 minutes in the theater for the movie to start. We were talking about our predictions and what we hope to see throughout this movie when a group of high schoolers came through. Now, that's fine and all until you can’t even hold a conversation with the person beside you because this group of kids are arguing about what row to sit in. They kept going between two rows, deciding which was more centered. They’re just seats, shut up and sit down. After about ten minutes going back and forth between two rows, one of the girls in the group sits down in a seat and calls it a day. Great. Moments after this noise disruption, the movie starts with a loud male choir singing some ancient ritual song. Everything is fine until the demonic nun appears behind one of the sisters of the cloistered abbey in Romania. I don’t want to ruin it for those who still want to see it, which I strongly encourage, because this movie was very good.

I wasn’t too fond of a tonal change compared to the rest of the series. It felt more like a journey similar to “The Lord of the Rings,” when they went into the woods during the daytime and seeing the light cast a shadow through the leaves. It felt more inconsistent than the previous Conjuring movies due to the increased fighting scenes, making it more of a villain than a demon in this movie. They didn’t miss the mark on being scary and the scenery in which The Nun took place was beautiful. Now, this movie scared me the most, maybe because I just watched people get murdered for 10 hours prior to seeing this movie. I couldn’t even grab the popcorn or drink without freaking out and when I did, I almost spilled the popcorn in the movie theater, like that guy at the intro video of every AMC showing that throws his popcorn everywhere. I’ll be surprised if there isn't another movie added to the Conjuring series. There will definitely be another one, the hard part is what it’ll be on. I always thought that they’d do one on the monkey toy in the first Conjuring, but for now, who knows. 12 hours later and I finally finish the marathon. My 12-hour journey came to an end, I walked from the theater to Chase’s car where I mentally ranked the Conjuring movies. Given that most people don’t watch all five movies in one sitting, I think it’s important to give my personal evaluations after this haunting experience.

Saluki football's struggling defense DILLON GILLILAND | @DillonGilliland

After a strong performance against Murray State to open the 2018 season, the Saluki football team has lost two consecutive high scoring games. SIU's season opener, 49-10 win against the Racers was nothing short of impressive as they made a bold statement with both their offense and their defense. The Salukis' defense outshined the offense as they forced three fumbles with

two being returned for touchdowns and two interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown. Not to mention, they also forced six punts and limited the opposition to only ten points. While the defense looked on point, the offense was nothing to sleep on, as senior quarterback Sam Straub threw for 107 yards on 16 completions. The senior tagged on a touchdown while also giving up an interception. However, junior running back D.J.

Davis was even more impressive with his 128 yards on 19 attempts. While Murray State is a solid team, they're not exactly Ole Miss, SIU's next matchup and first big test of the fresh season. Prior to taking on the Rebels, I said that SIU needed to make it a close game in order to establish some confidence and make a statement. I was afraid if the Salukis got ran over by Ole Miss then they would struggle for the rest of the season.

Carson Vanbuskirk | @carsonvanbDE SIU’s final “Hail Mary” pass of the game is incomplete, and SEMO takes the victory at the Salukis 48-44 loss to SEMO, Saturday.

However, the Dawgs gave the Rebels a run for their money for the first three quarters. Although SIU did not take the win as they did lose 76-41, they did show that they can hang with some of the top teams. Southern traded touchdowns with Ole Miss and even led 38-35 going into halftime. Coming out of halftime the Rebels put up a quick touchdown that SIU replied to with a field goal. After adding three points late in the third quarter, the Salukis could not find themselves on the scoreboard again. The offense showed it really can beat any defense, as they did put up 41 points. Straub threw 29 for 47 for a total of

382 passing yards. The quarterback nabbed four passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, while giving away two interceptions. Davis did what Davis does in the contest, netting 121 rushing yards on 16 attempts. While the offense did look solid through three quarters, they still fell off in the end, which is a big flaw. When games come down to the wire and every first down matters, Carbondale is going to need their football team to keep it together in the clutch moments. Then there's the defense that reared its ugly head in the game. The Saluki defense allowed 479 passing yards along with 167

passing yards. Not to mention they only forced the Rebels to punt twice and also gave up 76 points. The offense can only do so much. They can score til the cows come home, but if the defense keeps allowing the other team to walk right into the end zone, then what good is the offense doing? What bothered me about the Ole Miss loss is that it reminded me of the loss to Memphis in the 2017 season. Last year SIU played with the Tigers all the way to the very end, until the offense fell off and they pulled away. After losing to Memphis, the team just did not look the same in my eyes. The offense was not playing on the same level and neither was the defense.

Of course they still had some big wins, such as the 42-7 win against Illinois State, but still they just did not play on the same level as they did prior to the loss. It is tough to compare Ole Miss to Memphis, but prior to playing SIU in 2017, Memphis was coming off of a big win against UCLA, which I would imagine gave them a lot of momentum and plenty of confidence. In hopes that history would not repeat itself, the Salukis took on their rival, the SEMO Redhawks. It was like watching the same game against Ole Miss without the falloff in the end. Southern continued to put points on the board, despite three first quarter interceptions by Straub.

However, the ugly thing we call defense reared its head yet again and could not stop the Redhawks from scoring therefore losing them the game yet again. Something has to change or the Salukis are going to continue dropping games that they should be winning. I do not care what the situation is or how good the other team is, giving up 40 plus points in a game is just poor defense. Unless the offense is continuously turning the ball over in dangerous spots, I think a majority of the blame belongs to the defense. SIU will be taking on another tough opponent on Sept. 29 when they face South Dakota for Family Weekend. Kick off is scheduled for 6 p.m.
