Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE The SIU football team marches out before the home-opener Saturday against No. 10 Liberty. The Salukis (1-2) won the game 34-13. The matchup marked the fifth annual Salukis Blackout Cancer game, benefiting the Southern Illinois Healthcare Cancer Institute. Donors bid on custom, black jerseys worn by players during the game, which are then given to the winning bidders. This year’s game raised more than $29,000. Salukis Blackout Cancer games have raised more than $160,000 in the previous four years. Please see pages 5 and 8 for more on Saturday’s game.
City seeks local solution to combat homelessness ANNA SPOERRE | @ASPOERRE_DE
During his recent visit to the U.S., Pope Francis stressed that there is no way to justify a lack of housing for those in need. Community members and city officials in Carbondale feel similarly and are working toward a solution, as homelessness is prominent in town. “The homeless community is largely hidden,” Carbondale Mayor Mike Henry said. Good Samaritan House is one of the places where the homeless of Carbondale reside. Established in 1985 by the Carbondale Interfaith Council, Good Samaritan House provides food, shelter and an emergency assistance program to those in need. “There’s nothing wrong with this shelter,” one resident said. “There just isn’t enough room for the people who need it.” Residents are allowed to stay for periods of 30 days at a time, with a potential two-week extension. The organization’s soup kitchen is open to anyone in Jackson County. It serves three meals a day to the
community and served 32,000 meals last year. “The only reason I’m staying alive is because I’m eating here,” said Gordon McKenzie, a resident who previously spent two winters living on the street. Since the recession in 2008, the mission to assist the homeless has become increasingly difficult. More than 578,000 Americans are homeless, according to a 2014 report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “Over the past six years, our numbers have gone up every year,” said Patty Mullen, the assistant director of Good Samaritan Ministries. She said she blames the economy on the rising homeless population in Carbondale. However, an exact number of homeless citizens in Carbondale cannot be determined, Mullen said. “Everyone has different definitions of homelessness,” said Marlene Shepherd, the spokesperson for Sparrow Coalition, a local non-profit organization aimed at eliminating homelessness through creative means.

Anarchists promise ‘To Change Everything’ SAM BEARD | @SAMBEARD_DE
Anarchism is usually characterized by violence, chaos and tear gas. However, those are misunderstandings and tactical misrepresentations of the political ideology that come from those who want the word to evoke fear, anarchist Bea Traven said. A panel of anarchists will take the stage at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Guyon Auditorium to discuss the promise of anarchism in the twentyfirst century. The speaking tour will feature an international discussion by contemporary activists with focus on what anarchism means and why it will be useful in upcoming social struggles, panelist Vlasta Nikolic said. “In a world in which we’re facing economic crises and widespread disillusionment with governments and political parties of all stripes, anarchism offers a new way of conceptualizing what human relations could look like: something that is radically decentralized, based in personal freedom and collective relationships of mutual aid and solidarity,” Traven said. He said anarchists oppose all forms of hierarchy that concentrate
power into the hands of a few and anything else that limits human potential. Nikolic will speak about how the language of democracy has been used against the anarchist movement and about what autonomy in a modern society could look like. She said anarchist relations give people an opportunity to act upon their agency and directly address their own desires, needs and ambitions. The presentation will be hosted by the Flyover Infoshop, Department of Anthropology and others. Flyover, a radical clubhouse and community center at 214 N. Washington Street, teamed up with Crimethinc, an ex-workers collective, to bring panelists from three continents to the university, according to its website. “The anarchist idea is that life is sweetest when no one can wield power over you,” Traven said. “Human relations are the best and are most ennobling for the participants when people relate to each other as equals.” He said there are fundamental differences in the relationship one has with their employer and their friends. “One of them is based on voluntary association and egalitarian
interchange,” Traven said. “The other one is basically coercive. It is a result of the power relationship in which people need to be interacting but because of structural factors they cannot interact as equals.” Anarchists aim to abolish violence and coercion, Traven said. They believe the primary source of violence in the world historically and today is the state, and that hierarchy breeds coercive relations. “Who is it that shoots the teargas? It’s not the anarchists — it’s the police,” he said. “Who is it that’s responsible for the bulk of the violence in this society? It’s the police.” Nikolic said hierarchy exists through white-supremacy, sexism, capitalism and the government; the panel will be discussing how to move past those forms of oppression. “It is important to talk about how to prepare for an uprising because we are living in the times of unrest,” she said. “And it is important that when unrest happens, we take part in it. Therefore, determining what action will come next.” After Wednesday, the tour will continue making stops around the country. Flyover will host a barbecue Friday evening to reflect on the presentation.

Rape reported at SIUE; woman later asks police not to pursue case Elizabeth Donald | Belleville News-Democrat
A woman reported a rape on the campus of SIUEdwardsville on Wednesday, but later declined to follow through with an investigation. According to SIUE police, the woman reported that she accompanied a male acquaintance to his on-campus apartment in Cougar Village about 4 a.m. Sept. 20. They were part of a group of friends who attended a party in Edwardsville but dispersed once they returned to campus. She reported that back at his apartment, he sexually assaulted her. It was reported to SIUE police on Wednesday, and the campus issued a crime “e-lert” to faculty, staff and students on Thursday. However, SIUE Police Chief Kevin Schmoll said that the woman does not want police to proceed with an investigation. “That was her choice, perhaps because she knew this person,” Schmoll said. “But she was adamant that she did not want to pursue this.” Schmoll said investigators told the woman she also can pursue a Title IX investigation with university officials that would investigate separately from law enforcement. The possible findings for that include violations of the student conduct code, which would be referred to the Dean of Students, he said. Consequences might include relocating either or both students in residential housing and removed from being in classes together, so that they do not

run into each other. “We talked to her and laid out all her options,” he said. “The choice is up to the reporting party whether they pursue it or not.” Schmoll said they also referred her to SIUE’s counseling services and contacted the Dean of Students. The man’s name was not released by police, but they gave a description of him in the alert: a white male with brown hair and brown eyes weighing approximately 170 pounds. The e-lert reminded students of safety practices, such as letting someone know where you are and where you are going, being aware of levels of intoxication and not accepting drinks from other people or leaving your drink unattended, staying with friends and being aware of surroundings. “When going on a date, have an idea of where you are going and be suspicious of sudden changes to the plan,” it read. “Let someone know if your original location is changed ... Trust your gut feelings. If you feel that you are in a dangerous situation or that you are being pressured, you are probably right.” It also told students that SIUE police will offer escort to students apprehensive about walking on campus, or they can use the Rave Guardian app recently adopted by SIUE, which includes a panic button, direct contact with campus police and a “safety network” of friends and family who will be able to use the app to track where they are.

Keith Myers | Kansas City Star Sarah Gifford makes posters for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march against sexual assault and gender violence Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015, at the University of Missouri Kansas City in Kansas City, Mo.
When the rules keep victims of sexual assault from speaking up SCOTT CANON THE KANSAS CITY STAR
Michael Williams wants his young college students to feel they can come to him for help. He’s eager to guide them while working on an assignment or offer a sympathetic ear when things go sour in their personal lives. But if they confide something to the University of Kansas journalism professor about sexual harassment or worse? “I have said to the student, ‘I’m really sorry this happened, but if you tell me more details, I have to report this’” to others on campus, said Williams, president of KU’s University Senate. “Sometimes, the student goes ahead and tells you everything anyway. They’re seeking an adult they can trust. ... But I’ve had students say, ‘I don’t want anyone else to know.’ They don’t tell you anything more. That’s when the situation gets a little gray.” And, say faculty at a number of colleges, a student who can’t tell a professor something in confidence might not tell anybody. Those same professors embrace the need to track sexual harassment and assaults, to better root out campus rapists and to get a student help in a time of crisis. Yet some say a student looking for a familiar person to confide
in might clam up if that means hearing from some other college official — no matter how kind that third party might be. “I want to help that student,” Williams said. “But if the first thing out of their mouth is ‘I don’t really want to report this,’ what do you do?” The federal government continues to pressure college campuses to make sure that women, in particular, can pursue their studies safe from sexual harassment and assault. That’s long been enshrined in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibiting sex discrimination on campus. Title IX may be best known for how it remade college sports by demanding that women get the same chance at athletic scholarships as men. But increasingly it’s also grown as a tool to fight campus rape. Washington puts ever more exacting demands on schools to better document all manner of assault and harassment. New federal requirements kicked in over the summer that demand schools beef up both training for students and efforts to report potential Title IX violations. That followed a stern reminder issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office
in 2011 widely interpreted on campuses to mean that — with a few deliberate exceptions — virtually anyone working for a university must alert administrators about suspected cases. That’s why Williams feels obligated to warn students that telling him about a date that turned violent or a relationship that’s become abusive means he must tell others. Angela Speck, who teaches astrophysics at the University of Missouri, is an outspoken advocate for logging assault cases. Such reporting, after all, can reveal where and how problems happen. And she speaks enthusiastically about various caring and competent professionals on campus ready to help someone who’s been attacked. Still, she said, few students already know those professionals. “That’s great if you know about it, if you feel comfortable dealing with absolute strangers,” Speck said. Maybe, she said, at least one professor in a department should be left off the hook on reporting so students can confide in a familiar face. “Otherwise,” she said, “how can you have a conversation in confidence if you know that you’re talking to a mandatory reporter?”

HOMELESS CONTINUED FROM

For this reason, Sparrow Coalition has partnered with Dan Bryant, a pastor who has been focusing his efforts on eliminating homelessness, to discuss solutions to Carbondale’s housing problem. Bryant has already successfully started a community initiative to build tiny residences for the homeless in Eugene, Ore. The town of Eugene is home to the University of Oregon, which is why Bryant thought it would set up a good model for the southern Illinois area since there is a university in Carbondale. Katherine Graves, the pastor at First Christian Church in Carbondale, and the sister of Bryant, said Bryant’s collaboration with the City of Carbondale will provide an opportunity to learn more about approaching the issue of homelessness. “[Bryant’s plans] provide a safe and inexpensive place in which people can live and have an opportunity to participate in a future that can be hopeful,” Graves said. “It just takes citizens who are willing to get involved and a little bit of property.” However, Bryant said the community must overcome the fear of homeless living within a neighborhood. “I think it’s certainly an improvement that we’re having the conversation that we’re having because of negative comments about homeless people, like ‘Why don’t they pull themselves up by their bootstraps,’” said Maurine Pyle, president of Carbondale’s Interfaith Council and facilitator of Sparrow Coalition. Bryant will discuss these issues at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Carbondale Community Library, as a part of “Challenges of Poverty in Carbondale” community forum series. The discussion is open to all community members. “As mayor, I want to encourage people to talk about it, I want to let them know that I’m behind them, that whatever plans they come in with, I’m willing to give a real hard look at it and promote it … and present these grants to the city,” said Henry, who spoke previously with Bryant. Shepherd said there needs
Timothy “Cricket” Mullen, originally from Greenville, plays his banjitar outside Good Samaritan House on Friday. “For me to actually sit there and be able to play brings so much joy and so much comfort that I know I can do something that’s going to travel with me for the rest of my life,” said Mullen about his music. Mullen describes Carbondale as a home away from home. When he is not staying at Good Samaritan House, Mullen stays with whichever friend is able to accommodate him at the time. “My thing is, it’s society’s belief that a person is homeless, but wherever you feel more comfortable at, that should be your home, not a building,” Mullen said. “Me myself, I’m more of a free spirit. Like if I want to go out and do something, I’m going to go out and do something. Otherwise I just stay at home, which home could be right over there in that field.” J ACOB W IEGAND @J ACOB W IEGAND _DE
Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Gordon McKenzie describes his experience being homeless at Good Samaritan House on Friday. “When I was sleeping in the snow at the train station, I woke up and I walked to the police station. I didn’t even know where the police station was or anything, but I found out that it was right there and I walked in there and they told me that Good Samaritan was right here. So I walked over here and they let me in.” McKenzie has been at Good Samaritan on and off for a year. “They have a great staff and they have a lot of help,” said McKenzie about Good Samaritan. “As far as the homeless help, they have it here.”
to be focus on helping those who will be on the streets when winter hits, as well as developing long-term initiatives to solve the
housing problem. Bryant’s proposal based on community efforts made in Eugene is a plan that provides
the homeless with a home and affords them the opportunity to become a part of a community in which they can recover.
“I am very confident that it is something that any community can embrace and can be well received,” Bryant said.

5 takeaways from SIU’s 34-13 victory against No. 10 Liberty
THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE
1. This team is better than its record indicates SIU football’s offense had a good day in week one at Indiana. In week two, the offense couldn’t help its stout defense. In the season’s third game, both pieces came together. After knocking off the nation’s No. 10 team on Saturday in the first home game of the season, the Salukis are a few turnovers and an unlucky dropped two-point conversion away from being 3-0 and among the top-25 teams in the Football Championship Subdivision. 2. Daquan Isom has arrived Sophomore running back Cameron Walter entered this season as the Salukis’ No. 1 running back. Walter did not touch the ball against Liberty and freshman Daquan Isom may have cemented his spot as the starter. Isom rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown, while adding another 29 receiving yards. Isom has led SIU in all-purpose yards every game this year. Saluki fans should be excited to watch him for the next few seasons. 3. The secondary can play ... when it wants to The SIU defense gave up 277 yards through the air and could have easily allowed more if not for a few drops or poorly-thrown passes. However, sophomore cornerback Ryan Neal, redshirt freshman cornerback Jefferson Vea, senior safety D.J. Cameron and sophomore safety Kenny James came up with big plays. If the mostly-inexperienced defensive backfield can improve its consistency, Missouri Valley
Brent Meske | @BrentMeskeDE Freshman running back Daquan Isom eludes a tackle for a 49-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Isom finished with a game high 127 yards on 10 attempts and one touchdown.
Football Conference offenses could be in for a long season against SIU. 4. Special teams coach Keith Murphy is earning his keep The Saluki kickoff coverage shut down Liberty’s return game. The Flames’
average starting position on kickoffs was its own 22.3-yard line. If you take out the kickoff pushed back 15-yards by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the average start was the 18.8. A longer field makes scoring a lot harder. Liberty only
found the end zone once and missed two long field goals. 5. This team needs to show up every week in the MVFC Coming into this game, six MVFC teams were ranked in the
top-25. The Salukis will need to play a complete game like it did against Liberty every week in order to contend for a conference championship and a playoff berth.
SIU football has complete game in Liberty victory SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE
Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Sophomore wide receiver Connor Iwema, left, and senior cornerback Kendric Randolph, celebrate by jumping in the air Saturday during SIU’s 34-13 win against Liberty. Iwema rushed for one yard, and received for 11.
The Saluki football team was finally able to put together the two sides of positive play from its first two losses and convert it to a win Saturday night against No. 10 Liberty, 34-13. SIU’s offense put up 47 points in Week 1 against Indiana, but its young defense appeared to be lacking initiative and relinquished 595 yards. Against Southeast Missouri State the following week, the offense became its own worst enemy and turned the ball over seven times, yet the defense gave a strong showing. This team is better than its record shows. A turnover less in each loss could make it 3-0. The Salukis put the doubters to rest — even if only temporarily — showing that this team is better than its previous 0-2 record indicated. SIU was -9 in turnover margin before Saturday, tying it for fifth-worst in any level of NCAA football. The team somewhat righted the ship against Liberty by recovering two fumbles. The only turnover they gave up came when redshirt freshman wide receiver Matt DeSomer’s trick pass was intercepted. The Salukis gave up 368 yards but kept bending without breaking, allowing only 10 third-down conversions on 20 attempts. They also stopped the
Flames twice on fourth and short situations. The offense kept with the trend of balance and ball distribution fans saw in the first two games, picking up 255 yards on the ground and 227 through the air. Freshman running back Daquan Isom had 10 carries. Three other players had seven or more. Eight players carried the ball at least once in the game. This amount of parity out of the backfield can drive opposing defenders mad as there are multiple options to cover every play, leaving carriers the ability to make one cut and see daylight. On the other hand, when the Salukis pass the ball, there are many options to throw to either as eight different players caught at least one pass. To the more casual football fan, this offense looks a lot like the University of Oregon’s in the last few years. Opposing defenses do not know how it will gain yards, but it probably will. Senior quarterback Mark Iannotti is not Marcus Mariota, who won the Heisman Trophy and led the Ducks to the NCAA Championship game last year, but with the plethora of options he has to assist him, he does not need to be. It is going to be a wild ride for SIU football fans the rest of the year.

City seeks local solution to combat homelessness ANNA SPOERRE | @ASPOERRE_DE
During his recent visit to the U.S., Pope Francis stressed that there is no way to justify a lack of housing for those in need. Community members and city officials in Carbondale feel similarly and are working toward a solution, as homelessness is prominent in town. “The homeless community is largely hidden,” Carbondale Mayor Mike Henry said. Good Samaritan House is one of the places where the homeless of Carbondale reside. Established in 1985 by the Carbondale Interfaith Council, Good Samaritan House provides food, shelter and an emergency assistance program to those in need. “There’s nothing wrong with this shelter,” one resident said. “There just isn’t enough room for the people who need it.” Residents are allowed to stay for periods of 30 days at a time, with a potential two-week extension. The organization’s soup kitchen is open to anyone in Jackson County. It serves three meals a day to the
community and served 32,000 meals last year. “The only reason I’m staying alive is because I’m eating here,” said Gordon McKenzie, a resident who previously spent two winters living on the street. Since the recession in 2008, the mission to assist the homeless has become increasingly difficult. More than 578,000 Americans are homeless, according to a 2014 report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “Over the past six years, our numbers have gone up every year,” said Patty Mullen, the assistant director of Good Samaritan Ministries. She said she blames the economy on the rising homeless population in Carbondale. However, an exact number of homeless citizens in Carbondale cannot be determined, Mullen said. “Everyone has different definitions of homelessness,” said Marlene Shepherd, the spokesperson for Sparrow Coalition, a local non-profit organization aimed at eliminating homelessness through creative means.

Anarchists promise ‘To Change Everything’ SAM BEARD | @SAMBEARD_DE
Anarchism is usually characterized by violence, chaos and tear gas. However, those are misunderstandings and tactical misrepresentations of the political ideology that come from those who want the word to evoke fear, anarchist Bea Traven said. A panel of anarchists will take the stage at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Guyon Auditorium to discuss the promise of anarchism in the twentyfirst century. The speaking tour will feature an international discussion by contemporary activists with focus on what anarchism means and why it will be useful in upcoming social struggles, panelist Vlasta Nikolic said. “In a world in which we’re facing economic crises and widespread disillusionment with governments and political parties of all stripes, anarchism offers a new way of conceptualizing what human relations could look like: something that is radically decentralized, based in personal freedom and collective relationships of mutual aid and solidarity,” Traven said. He said anarchists oppose all forms of hierarchy that concentrate
power into the hands of a few and anything else that limits human potential. Nikolic will speak about how the language of democracy has been used against the anarchist movement and about what autonomy in a modern society could look like. She said anarchist relations give people an opportunity to act upon their agency and directly address their own desires, needs and ambitions. The presentation will be hosted by the Flyover Infoshop, Department of Anthropology and others. Flyover, a radical clubhouse and community center at 214 N. Washington Street, teamed up with Crimethinc, an ex-workers collective, to bring panelists from three continents to the university, according to its website. “The anarchist idea is that life is sweetest when no one can wield power over you,” Traven said. “Human relations are the best and are most ennobling for the participants when people relate to each other as equals.” He said there are fundamental differences in the relationship one has with their employer and their friends. “One of them is based on voluntary association and egalitarian
interchange,” Traven said. “The other one is basically coercive. It is a result of the power relationship in which people need to be interacting but because of structural factors they cannot interact as equals.” Anarchists aim to abolish violence and coercion, Traven said. They believe the primary source of violence in the world historically and today is the state, and that hierarchy breeds coercive relations. “Who is it that shoots the teargas? It’s not the anarchists — it’s the police,” he said. “Who is it that’s responsible for the bulk of the violence in this society? It’s the police.” Nikolic said hierarchy exists through white-supremacy, sexism, capitalism and the government; the panel will be discussing how to move past those forms of oppression. “It is important to talk about how to prepare for an uprising because we are living in the times of unrest,” she said. “And it is important that when unrest happens, we take part in it. Therefore, determining what action will come next.” After Wednesday, the tour will continue making stops around the country. Flyover will host a barbecue Friday evening to reflect on the presentation.

Rape reported at SIUE; woman later asks police not to pursue case Elizabeth Donald | Belleville News-Democrat
A woman reported a rape on the campus of SIUEdwardsville on Wednesday, but later declined to follow through with an investigation. According to SIUE police, the woman reported that she accompanied a male acquaintance to his on-campus apartment in Cougar Village about 4 a.m. Sept. 20. They were part of a group of friends who attended a party in Edwardsville but dispersed once they returned to campus. She reported that back at his apartment, he sexually assaulted her. It was reported to SIUE police on Wednesday, and the campus issued a crime “e-lert” to faculty, staff and students on Thursday. However, SIUE Police Chief Kevin Schmoll said that the woman does not want police to proceed with an investigation. “That was her choice, perhaps because she knew this person,” Schmoll said. “But she was adamant that she did not want to pursue this.” Schmoll said investigators told the woman she also can pursue a Title IX investigation with university officials that would investigate separately from law enforcement. The possible findings for that include violations of the student conduct code, which would be referred to the Dean of Students, he said. Consequences might include relocating either or both students in residential housing and removed from being in classes together, so that they do not

run into each other. “We talked to her and laid out all her options,” he said. “The choice is up to the reporting party whether they pursue it or not.” Schmoll said they also referred her to SIUE’s counseling services and contacted the Dean of Students. The man’s name was not released by police, but they gave a description of him in the alert: a white male with brown hair and brown eyes weighing approximately 170 pounds. The e-lert reminded students of safety practices, such as letting someone know where you are and where you are going, being aware of levels of intoxication and not accepting drinks from other people or leaving your drink unattended, staying with friends and being aware of surroundings. “When going on a date, have an idea of where you are going and be suspicious of sudden changes to the plan,” it read. “Let someone know if your original location is changed ... Trust your gut feelings. If you feel that you are in a dangerous situation or that you are being pressured, you are probably right.” It also told students that SIUE police will offer escort to students apprehensive about walking on campus, or they can use the Rave Guardian app recently adopted by SIUE, which includes a panic button, direct contact with campus police and a “safety network” of friends and family who will be able to use the app to track where they are.

Keith Myers | Kansas City Star Sarah Gifford makes posters for the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march against sexual assault and gender violence Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015, at the University of Missouri Kansas City in Kansas City, Mo.
When the rules keep victims of sexual assault from speaking up SCOTT CANON THE KANSAS CITY STAR
Michael Williams wants his young college students to feel they can come to him for help. He’s eager to guide them while working on an assignment or offer a sympathetic ear when things go sour in their personal lives. But if they confide something to the University of Kansas journalism professor about sexual harassment or worse? “I have said to the student, ‘I’m really sorry this happened, but if you tell me more details, I have to report this’” to others on campus, said Williams, president of KU’s University Senate. “Sometimes, the student goes ahead and tells you everything anyway. They’re seeking an adult they can trust. ... But I’ve had students say, ‘I don’t want anyone else to know.’ They don’t tell you anything more. That’s when the situation gets a little gray.” And, say faculty at a number of colleges, a student who can’t tell a professor something in confidence might not tell anybody. Those same professors embrace the need to track sexual harassment and assaults, to better root out campus rapists and to get a student help in a time of crisis. Yet some say a student looking for a familiar person to confide
in might clam up if that means hearing from some other college official — no matter how kind that third party might be. “I want to help that student,” Williams said. “But if the first thing out of their mouth is ‘I don’t really want to report this,’ what do you do?” The federal government continues to pressure college campuses to make sure that women, in particular, can pursue their studies safe from sexual harassment and assault. That’s long been enshrined in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibiting sex discrimination on campus. Title IX may be best known for how it remade college sports by demanding that women get the same chance at athletic scholarships as men. But increasingly it’s also grown as a tool to fight campus rape. Washington puts ever more exacting demands on schools to better document all manner of assault and harassment. New federal requirements kicked in over the summer that demand schools beef up both training for students and efforts to report potential Title IX violations. That followed a stern reminder issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office
in 2011 widely interpreted on campuses to mean that — with a few deliberate exceptions — virtually anyone working for a university must alert administrators about suspected cases. That’s why Williams feels obligated to warn students that telling him about a date that turned violent or a relationship that’s become abusive means he must tell others. Angela Speck, who teaches astrophysics at the University of Missouri, is an outspoken advocate for logging assault cases. Such reporting, after all, can reveal where and how problems happen. And she speaks enthusiastically about various caring and competent professionals on campus ready to help someone who’s been attacked. Still, she said, few students already know those professionals. “That’s great if you know about it, if you feel comfortable dealing with absolute strangers,” Speck said. Maybe, she said, at least one professor in a department should be left off the hook on reporting so students can confide in a familiar face. “Otherwise,” she said, “how can you have a conversation in confidence if you know that you’re talking to a mandatory reporter?”

HOMELESS CONTINUED FROM

For this reason, Sparrow Coalition has partnered with Dan Bryant, a pastor who has been focusing his efforts on eliminating homelessness, to discuss solutions to Carbondale’s housing problem. Bryant has already successfully started a community initiative to build tiny residences for the homeless in Eugene, Ore. The town of Eugene is home to the University of Oregon, which is why Bryant thought it would set up a good model for the southern Illinois area since there is a university in Carbondale. Katherine Graves, the pastor at First Christian Church in Carbondale, and the sister of Bryant, said Bryant’s collaboration with the City of Carbondale will provide an opportunity to learn more about approaching the issue of homelessness. “[Bryant’s plans] provide a safe and inexpensive place in which people can live and have an opportunity to participate in a future that can be hopeful,” Graves said. “It just takes citizens who are willing to get involved and a little bit of property.” However, Bryant said the community must overcome the fear of homeless living within a neighborhood. “I think it’s certainly an improvement that we’re having the conversation that we’re having because of negative comments about homeless people, like ‘Why don’t they pull themselves up by their bootstraps,’” said Maurine Pyle, president of Carbondale’s Interfaith Council and facilitator of Sparrow Coalition. Bryant will discuss these issues at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Carbondale Community Library, as a part of “Challenges of Poverty in Carbondale” community forum series. The discussion is open to all community members. “As mayor, I want to encourage people to talk about it, I want to let them know that I’m behind them, that whatever plans they come in with, I’m willing to give a real hard look at it and promote it … and present these grants to the city,” said Henry, who spoke previously with Bryant. Shepherd said there needs
Timothy “Cricket” Mullen, originally from Greenville, plays his banjitar outside Good Samaritan House on Friday. “For me to actually sit there and be able to play brings so much joy and so much comfort that I know I can do something that’s going to travel with me for the rest of my life,” said Mullen about his music. Mullen describes Carbondale as a home away from home. When he is not staying at Good Samaritan House, Mullen stays with whichever friend is able to accommodate him at the time. “My thing is, it’s society’s belief that a person is homeless, but wherever you feel more comfortable at, that should be your home, not a building,” Mullen said. “Me myself, I’m more of a free spirit. Like if I want to go out and do something, I’m going to go out and do something. Otherwise I just stay at home, which home could be right over there in that field.” J ACOB W IEGAND @J ACOB W IEGAND _DE
Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Gordon McKenzie describes his experience being homeless at Good Samaritan House on Friday. “When I was sleeping in the snow at the train station, I woke up and I walked to the police station. I didn’t even know where the police station was or anything, but I found out that it was right there and I walked in there and they told me that Good Samaritan was right here. So I walked over here and they let me in.” McKenzie has been at Good Samaritan on and off for a year. “They have a great staff and they have a lot of help,” said McKenzie about Good Samaritan. “As far as the homeless help, they have it here.”
to be focus on helping those who will be on the streets when winter hits, as well as developing long-term initiatives to solve the
housing problem. Bryant’s proposal based on community efforts made in Eugene is a plan that provides
the homeless with a home and affords them the opportunity to become a part of a community in which they can recover.
“I am very confident that it is something that any community can embrace and can be well received,” Bryant said.

5 takeaways from SIU’s 34-13 victory against No. 10 Liberty
THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE
1. This team is better than its record indicates SIU football’s offense had a good day in week one at Indiana. In week two, the offense couldn’t help its stout defense. In the season’s third game, both pieces came together. After knocking off the nation’s No. 10 team on Saturday in the first home game of the season, the Salukis are a few turnovers and an unlucky dropped two-point conversion away from being 3-0 and among the top-25 teams in the Football Championship Subdivision. 2. Daquan Isom has arrived Sophomore running back Cameron Walter entered this season as the Salukis’ No. 1 running back. Walter did not touch the ball against Liberty and freshman Daquan Isom may have cemented his spot as the starter. Isom rushed for 123 yards and one touchdown, while adding another 29 receiving yards. Isom has led SIU in all-purpose yards every game this year. Saluki fans should be excited to watch him for the next few seasons. 3. The secondary can play ... when it wants to The SIU defense gave up 277 yards through the air and could have easily allowed more if not for a few drops or poorly-thrown passes. However, sophomore cornerback Ryan Neal, redshirt freshman cornerback Jefferson Vea, senior safety D.J. Cameron and sophomore safety Kenny James came up with big plays. If the mostly-inexperienced defensive backfield can improve its consistency, Missouri Valley
Brent Meske | @BrentMeskeDE Freshman running back Daquan Isom eludes a tackle for a 49-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Isom finished with a game high 127 yards on 10 attempts and one touchdown.
Football Conference offenses could be in for a long season against SIU. 4. Special teams coach Keith Murphy is earning his keep The Saluki kickoff coverage shut down Liberty’s return game. The Flames’
average starting position on kickoffs was its own 22.3-yard line. If you take out the kickoff pushed back 15-yards by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the average start was the 18.8. A longer field makes scoring a lot harder. Liberty only
found the end zone once and missed two long field goals. 5. This team needs to show up every week in the MVFC Coming into this game, six MVFC teams were ranked in the
top-25. The Salukis will need to play a complete game like it did against Liberty every week in order to contend for a conference championship and a playoff berth.
SIU football has complete game in Liberty victory SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE
Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Sophomore wide receiver Connor Iwema, left, and senior cornerback Kendric Randolph, celebrate by jumping in the air Saturday during SIU’s 34-13 win against Liberty. Iwema rushed for one yard, and received for 11.
The Saluki football team was finally able to put together the two sides of positive play from its first two losses and convert it to a win Saturday night against No. 10 Liberty, 34-13. SIU’s offense put up 47 points in Week 1 against Indiana, but its young defense appeared to be lacking initiative and relinquished 595 yards. Against Southeast Missouri State the following week, the offense became its own worst enemy and turned the ball over seven times, yet the defense gave a strong showing. This team is better than its record shows. A turnover less in each loss could make it 3-0. The Salukis put the doubters to rest — even if only temporarily — showing that this team is better than its previous 0-2 record indicated. SIU was -9 in turnover margin before Saturday, tying it for fifth-worst in any level of NCAA football. The team somewhat righted the ship against Liberty by recovering two fumbles. The only turnover they gave up came when redshirt freshman wide receiver Matt DeSomer’s trick pass was intercepted. The Salukis gave up 368 yards but kept bending without breaking, allowing only 10 third-down conversions on 20 attempts. They also stopped the
Flames twice on fourth and short situations. The offense kept with the trend of balance and ball distribution fans saw in the first two games, picking up 255 yards on the ground and 227 through the air. Freshman running back Daquan Isom had 10 carries. Three other players had seven or more. Eight players carried the ball at least once in the game. This amount of parity out of the backfield can drive opposing defenders mad as there are multiple options to cover every play, leaving carriers the ability to make one cut and see daylight. On the other hand, when the Salukis pass the ball, there are many options to throw to either as eight different players caught at least one pass. To the more casual football fan, this offense looks a lot like the University of Oregon’s in the last few years. Opposing defenses do not know how it will gain yards, but it probably will. Senior quarterback Mark Iannotti is not Marcus Mariota, who won the Heisman Trophy and led the Ducks to the NCAA Championship game last year, but with the plethora of options he has to assist him, he does not need to be. It is going to be a wild ride for SIU football fans the rest of the year.
