‘Step Up’ or get kicked out Ahmad Hicks

@AhicksSports_DE | Daily Egyptian

Incoming students who do not complete the “Step Up” training course will be dropped from their classes Thursday.

Students who have not completed the training were allowed to register for classes, but were informed that Thursday would be the last day to complete the state-mandated training.

“Step Up” is a bystander intervention course, which helps prevent domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and sexual assaults among students, according to the university’s website.

Chad Trisler, director of Student Rights and Responsibilities, said about 6,000 incoming SIU students and employees were required to complete the training this school year. He said the university could be fined a maximum of $35,000 per person who does not.

Interim Provost Susan Ford said in December there were 1,200 students who had not completed the training, but that number has since decreased.

Trisler said there are training sessions every day so there is no way to get the exact number of students who have not completed it, but that the number is well below 100.

He said if students were dropped from classes, they would have to wait a semester to reapply.

Trisler said he expects everyone to finish training by Thursday because Students Rights and Responsibilities have notified atrisk students through different channels.

He said the department sent out five emails to each of the students. A message was also on SalukiNet’s login page, and when students met with their advisers to register for spring classes, advisers should have let the students know if they have completed the course or not.

“We wanted to make sure we sent out as many notifications as possible, so students couldn’t say we didn’t warn them,” Trisler said.

University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said there were more than 90 training sessions for students to attend since August, and the university will continue to hold them until Thursday.

The training is broken down into two parts—a one-hour seminar where students go over basic information including protocol for reporting incidents, and an online section, which tests students afterward.

Some freshmen who have taken the course said the training was mostly common knowledge and would not take it if it was not state mandated.

JaWana Green, hearing officer for Students Rights and Responsibilities, said students who have not taken the training can go to safe.siu.edu and find more information under the “Step-Up” tab.

Remaining training sessions are to be held at 11:00 a.m.

Wednesday at Guyon Auditorium and 3:00 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Services Building, rooms 150, 160 and 170. The last chance to attend training will be at 9:00 a.m. Thursday at Guyon Auditorium.

Trade Little Egypt for the real deal Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

The university’s mascot was once the royal breed of Egypt, and Salukis can make the pilgrimage back home.

Students and members of the community are able to visit Egypt, Greece and Turkey as part of the Ancient Legacies program, led by Robert Hahn. At 6 p.m. Thursday in Lawson Hall Room 201, Hahn will host a meeting for those interested in traveling.

The trip through Egypt will last from May 19 through 31, while the Greek portion lasts from June 1 through 14.

Students are eligible for three to six credit hours for the philosophy-based program.

Prices start at $2,800, but increase with airfare.

Hahn, a professor in the philosophy department, has guided the trip for more than 30 years, which always has a centralized theme.

This year’s trip is focused on the question of happiness. What makes people happy in Egypt versus Turkey and America? What makes a student happy compared to an adult?

Hahn said a diverse age group is key for these trips.

The program can only succeed if people with a wide range of experiences are brought together. Not every student has the same experience as their parents. It is important for community members to go along too. The two groups fill in the gaps with philosophical discussion.

Egypt

Greece B raNDa M itchell • D aily e gyptiaN Locations visited during the Ancient Legacies program, which visits Egypt from May 19 through 31 and Greece from June 1 through 14.

“I don’t expect that the parents, grandparents or the students know much about Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece, but they do know what it means to be happy,” Hahn said.

Egyptologist Ihab Shaarawy will accompany the group on leg of the trip in Egypt. Shaarawy

has two master’s degrees from the ParisSorbonne University in Egyptology and has been working with SIU since 1995.

Shaarawy explains the history of Egyptian monuments including the pyramids. He said it is important for him to explain the history of his country to complete strangers, so they understand the importance. These are some of the oldest structures in history; so he hopes foreigners get in touch with a culture outside of their own.

“It’s a way for people to know where they originally came from because it is the origin of civilization,” he said.

Aside from just visiting the must-see tourist locations, participants will engage in a wide range of activities to make learning fun.

Hahn said while in Greece, the group looks at several Greek inventions that have stood the test of time. Democracy, sculptures and the Olympics are some the big ideas the group will tackle.

When discussing the Olympics, members will run a race in the same stadiums used thousands of years ago. It may only be 600 feet, but you can still retrace the footsteps of ancient athletes.

To discuss democracy, travelers will reenact the trial of Socrates in an ancient counsel chamber.

Hahn said he believes he is still visiting ancient times because the locations have largely been unaltered.

“We’re using the country as a classroom’” Hahn said. “Although it’s strange to say, ‘I’m going to Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece,’ I really think that is what we’re doing.”

It’s -30- for the printing press, but not the DE Sarah Gardner

@rabbitearz93 | Daily Egyptian

Throughout most of journalism’s history, the symbol -30- was used to indicate the end of a news story. Although many theories of its origin exist, it has become a common way to represent “the end.”

Thursday will mark the last edition of the DE to be printed on the in-house printing press—how the DE has been made for the past 47 years. What will not end Thursday, however, is the Daily Egyptian. First it must be made clear the DE is not going out of business.

We will still print a newspaper four days a week as we have this year, but it will be sent from our emergency printer in Cape Girardeau, Mo., until a formal bidding process can take place.

To the readers, you should not notice any difference in our product. We remain your news source on our website, on social media and in print. Our goals for the year emphasize the importance of being digitalfirst. We must face reality and recognize the demand for content in new forms, and at higher-than-ever speeds.

This does not mean we will not produce the best print product possible. As always, the standard the DE has upheld for 99 years is intact.

The decision is far beyond my control, regardless of how much I will miss the people who poured their hearts and souls into bringing our paper to fruition every day. When the DE asked for a student fee last year, and a group of professionals pooled their experience and expertise, one recommendation made was to outsource

keep this from happening.

Perhaps most shocking is how suddenly the change is occurring. It is a difficult time for staff, alumni and for myself. We will not let it affect our coverage or

quality. But we will not take the experience of printing in-house for the last time for granted.

Being one of only a handful of college media organizations with a printing press has been a source of pride for the DE, the School of Journalism and the university itself. I am thankful for the lessons having a printing press has taught me, and I know that sentiment is shared by a number of graduates and former editors here. It will be sad for such a rich piece of history, tradition and teaching opportunity to end.

To the alumni, I am honored and grateful for your support through the past few days, and in what will be a transition in the weeks to come. This will be an opportunity to reflect on the fond memories of printing our paper, and the things we have learned in the process. I hope you all take the time on Thursday to watch our documentary of the last press run. We understand the historical importance of this change, and would not be doing our jobs if we did not cover it with the care it deserves.

To the crew, I say thank you, especially to Printshop Superintendent Blake Mulholland, and graduate assistant Justin Godbold, whom I have known many years, and owe more than can be expressed in words. Your passion and dedication have been invaluable to the DE. This is not the end, but a milestone in the growing history of the organization.

Thursday’s edition will be bittersweet, and employees at the DE will not soon forget the moment we witness together, “the last run.”

‘Whiplash’ is brutal and captivating Jacob Pierce

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

“Whiplash” is one of the most decorated films of 2014’s Oscars. It is nominated for Best Picture, Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing an Adapted Screenplay. Being an indie film, these nominations are an incredible feat. While the academy is not against the indie genre, they are known for praising the more conventional film. “Whiplash” is no traditional film.

“Whiplash” (Rated R; 106 min.) is a drama directed by Damien Chazelle starring Miles Teller, J.K. Simmons, Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist.

In the film, Shaffer Conservatory music school is one of the most prestigious and cutthroat in the country. Aspiring musicians who attend the college go on to be great craftsmen. Andrew Neiman, played

by Teller, is a first-year student at the school and strives to become a legendary Jazz drummer.

Neiman soon meets the conductor of the college’s fabled jazz band, Terence Fletcher, played by J.K. Simmons. Neiman enters the band as

the second chair drummer and hopes to show Fletcher his talent. He soon experiences Fletcher’s brutal teaching techniques, which proves to be a psychological journey on a long and bumpy road.

Simmons is a character actor. Most casual filmgoers would not know his name off the top of their heads, they would only be able to refer to his roles in the “Spider-Man,” films and on “Juno.” While “Whiplash” may not shoot his name into the stratosphere of stars like Brad Pitt and George Clooney, hopefully more people will remember his name.

The man is viscous in his portrayal as Fletcher. He takes the hate-filled lines given to him by Chazelle and makes each syllable seem natural.

When Simmons is yelling at a student for messing up on a simple mistake, he shows his true character. He portays where Fletcher came from better than any backstory could. He puts everything he has into it, and it shows on screen.

With this level of acting, the film is not dependent on the writing to humanize him. You struggle throughout the film between hating the character for putting people through emotional trauma and respecting the actor for his talent.

Chazelle’s semi-autobiographical

movie has been praised since it’s screening at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014. One can even claim the film was met with applause before Sundance, the original screenplay rising to prominence on the Black List, an internet database which puts out the best unproduced script.

While his directing was phenomenal, Chazelle’s real talent is shown in his writing. His characters are real, compelling and dynamic.

Even someone as emotionally connectable as Neiman makes human mistakes. The entire film is set up as both a representation of Chazelle’s own life and the pressures put upon all college students.

It is disappointing Chazelle was not nominated for the directing award, as his directing is a key component to the success of the film. The story is personal and emotional and the film represents the psychological drive in the ways it portrays Neiman destroying his own body for music.

The film is arguably the best nominee at the Oscars. It is brash and hard to watch at points. J.K. Simmons’ yell will haunt your dreams. Teller’s broken hands will scar your memories. It is one of those movies that will leave you emotionally wrecked in a good way.

Most unique game of 2015 is #IDARB Fun & Games With Austin Miller

It all started with a red box.

Developer Other Ocean tweeted a picture of red box and asked the people of the Internet what they wanted to see the box become.

Some people asked for the game to have a ball.

Some asked for robots. Some sick individuals asked for clowns. With all of these random responses, it is hard to believe the game did not turn into a dumpster fire.

Instead, “#IDARB” which stands for “It Draws a Red Box” is unique and original, resembling an 8-bit game from 20 years ago. “#IDARB” is a 2D, platformer sports game.

Imagine “NBA Jam” with “Super Mario”-esque platforms between half-court and the hoops.

Players must collect the ball, jump across the stages and throw the ball into the goal. As simple as that sounds, “#IDARB” is hectic, heated and just plain hard.

Gamers must pass the ball to their teammates to put together a multiplier that will make one

goal worth more than a single point. A goal is also worth more points when lobbed from a farther distance. Putting together a strategy resulting in the most points is tough, especially when facing a defense.

Trying to get a perfect pass or shot is difficult enough, not to mention while opponents are punching and stomping on you from above.

Good defense leads to more turnovers than an Arby’s counter.

Scoring a goal brings another similarity to “NBA Jam.” Instead of an announcer yelling “Boomshakalaka,” players will hear various movie quotes being screamed with excitement.

I never knew I wanted someone to yell “I drink your milkshake” from “There will be blood” upon scoring a goal. But that is now a reality in this world and I do not want to go back.

The hashtag in the name may look out of place, but “#IDARB” is one of the first games to use social media in the game itself. The game

creates a bond between players and Twitter and Twitch, a game streaming site. When a match begins, a hashtag is displayed in the top right corner. Spectators in the same room, or across the country via Twitch, can alter the game by using that hashtag.

An example is being able to turn the lights out in the arena of the game. Tweeting @Idarbwire with the match specific hashtag, #KGP6 for example, and #lights, will make you question if the game designers paid the electric bill.

Viewers can also make players fly around with fizz coming out of their butts using #fizz. They can also fill up the arena with water using #flood.

For a game designed with so many social interactions, it is disappointing it does not have a great option for online matchmaking. “#IDARB” gives the best experience when playing with a group of friends. It is much more fun to beat a friend than some random, faceless person in Kentucky, unless it is the ghost of Colonel Sanders. That would be a victory worth celebrating, with fried chicken of course.

The game supports up to eight people, but they must all be on the same console. It’s great to get together and game with friends, but in 2015, people do not go to their friends’ houses every day.

An online match only allows for two friends to team up, meaning a group of people will be broken like a promise by Pinocchio.

Without the online functionality, which could be fixed, “#IDARB” is still a one-of-a-kind game.

Players can customize their own characters and create custom songs for their team.

Twelve food recipes can also be unlocked from playing the game. Pumpkin bread, bacon-wrapped chicken bites and Neapolitan Rice Krispy treats add a delicious flavor to a fun game.

Academics and athletics are two separate specializations, but for student athletes, the two become one.

The women’s cross-country team had the highest team grade point average last semester with a 3.659, according to information obtained from a Freedom of Information Act. Men’s basketball had the lowest with a 2.607 GPA. Women’s cross-country also has the highest cumulative GPA at 3.611 and men’s basketball has the lowest at 2.713.

Two of the members of the women’s cross-country team, senior Sadie Darnell and junior Kristen Levi, have been named to their college Dean’s List seven times.

Darnell, an elementary education major who has achieved a 4.0 GPA her entire collegiate career, said the team works just as hard on academics as its athletic training.

“We are definitely focused on doing our best in all that we do, so being on top of our school work is a priority to all of us,” she said. “The discipline we know from running transfers over to the classroom too.”

Darnell was a member of the All-MVC Scholar-Athlete team her sophomore, junior and senior years. She has been the MVC Athlete of the Week twice and was her high school’s valedictorian.

Darnell has been named the Missouri Valley Conference’s Elite 18 award the last two outdoor track seasons. An athlete must be nominated by their coach and finish top three in their event to win the award. Darnell finished third both years in the 5,000-meter run.

Levi, an exercise science major, said academics are more important to her in the long run than athletics.

“Most likely, we won’t be professional track athletes,” she said. “So when we’re done athletically, we’re going to need academics to succeed in life.”

Levi was named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association all-academic team on Feb. 14, 2014. She had a 3.84 GPA at the time, which was 40th best of 129 Division I honorees.

“I knew how hard I had worked in the classroom to get to that point,” she said. “When [former] coach [Matt] Sparks told me, I didn’t believe him, but I knew I deserved it.”

Levi said her parents have always pushed her academically and she still takes effort to study. She said she had to work on finding the balance between pushing her studies and taking a break.

The team has an advantage on other sports and is able to take more time with academics, coach David Beauchem wrote in an email.

“We have a rigorous training

program,” he wrote. “But we also have some latitude for individual academic conflicts,” Levi said Beauchem puts academics first, allowing his athletes to pursue academic opportunities, even if it interferes with their training.

Men’s basketball coach Barry Hinson said academics are not his first method of judgment.

“In our sport, I’m not going to look at GPA,” he said. “I talk to our

academic advisors and I measure our guys not based on eligibility or GPA, but by what they can do.”

Although Hinson does not judge players based on GPA, he said he still expects his players to show up and be attentive in class. He said he punishes them when he finds out they do not.

Hinson said he asks people to understand what the players go through on a daily basis.

“Accept our guys for the effort

they give,” he said. “An average student doesn’t go through what they go through on a daily basis. For the most part, they’re up at 8 a.m. and they aren’t done until 9 p.m.”

Freshman forward Jordan Caroline said the team should not be happy with the results and needs to focus in class for their futures.

“Academics are really important, you have to look for a career,” he said. “Even if you go and play professionally, you can’t play forever.”

Pruitt signs with National Sports Agency

Martin Brodeur to announce retirement, to join Blues’ front office

Former SIU tight end MyCole Pruitt signed with the National Sports Agency for representation in the National Football League.

The agency represents 25 players on NFL rosters, two free agents and retired players such as former Chicago Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox and former Saluki linebacker Bart Scott.

Pruitt said he called Scott and talked to him about the agency before signing. He said signing an agent was an important step.

“It was important to have someone who knows the business well and has experience,” he said. “They can tell me things I don’t know and aren’t sure about.”

Scott wrote in a testimonial on the agency’s website that he was happy with his decision to sign with them.

“Coming over to NSA was the best decision I could have made,” he wrote. “Before, I felt like a small fish in a big pond. At NSA, everyone is equal. We’re all family!”

Pruitt said the agency brought

him and his family in and made them feel at home.

Coach Dale Lennon said signing an agent is the first step in Pruitt’s

journey to the NFL. “It’s important to get a good agency to represent you and train you and make sure you’re doing everything you need to do to be successful,” he said. “Now I get to be more of a proud coach and watch what he is capable of doing and take on more of a fan status.”

Lennon said Pruitt’s strength is his versatility, noting that Pruitt has great hands and could be used as a tight end, wide out or full back.

He said now the game becomes a business.

“Before it was a game, now there’s a seriousness and every day you’re paying attention to the details,” he said. “As for everyone going from college to the professional level, you need to become a professional, and that’s your livelihood.”

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Martin Brodeur, the Hall of Fame-bound goaltender who played seven games with the Blues after 21 seasons with the New Jersey Devils, will announce his retirement Thursday.

The club confirmed the news Tuesday, also acknowledging that Brodeur will assume a position in the organization’s front office.

A news conference will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in St. Louis, where the Blues are expected to expound on Brodeur’s management role.

Neither Brodeur, nor Blues general manager Doug Armstrong, were available for comment Tuesday.

Blues players leaving the club’s practice facility were caught off guard by the news.

“I was kind of surprised, shocked,” Blues goalie Brian Elliott said. “He’s been around for so long, watching him grow up and then having a chance to be on the same team as him, it’s not something you expect ... heck of a career. It’s kind of sad to see a guy like him hang them up. I’m sure it’s a tough decision, but I was grateful to be on the same team with him, if only for a little bit.”

There are reports that Brodeur’s role will be as an assistant GM, but that does not appear to be so.

Alexander Steen said Brodeur joining the Blues in any capacity will be beneficial.

“If that’s the case, that’s an extremely smart move,” Steen said. “All the experience is so valuable to have in an organization. That stuff spreads. It doesn’t just stay up in the offices, it spreads throughout the organization and the players.”

Brodeur, 42, appeared in seven games with the Blues, with a 3-3 record and one shutout. He had a 2.87 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage. That brought his career record to 691397-154 with 125 shutouts. Those are NHL records

for wins, losses and shutouts.

Brodeur parted with the only NHL team he had played for, New Jersey, after last season and wasn’t signed in the offseason.

When Elliott was hurt on Nov. 22, the Blues, with the little-tested Jordan Binnington as their top minor-league goalie, brought in Brodeur for a oneweek tryout to see if he could be Jake Allen’s backup.

He decided he could and he made his Blues debut on Dec. 4 in a loss at Nashville. Two days later, he came after the first period to replace Allen in a game against the Islanders and stopped 14 of the 15 shots he faced as the Blues came back for the win.

Brodeur posted a shutout in his next-to-last game, facing only 16 shots in a win over the Avalanche that had fans at Scottrade Center chanting, “Marty, Marty.” In what now stands as his final game four days later, the Blues lost at Anaheim 4-3.

By then, Elliott was back with the team and coach Ken Hitchcock needed to get Elliott back up to speed as quickly as possible, and he got the bulk of the work, with Allen, who was given an extended break, serving as backup.

Three goalies are a tricky prospect for NHL teams. With teams having only two nets to work at in practice, one goalie is invariably standing around watching and it cuts into the amount of time everyone gets.

As much as the Blues wanted Brodeur to stay around _ and coach Ken Hitchcock ranks as one of Brodeur’s biggest fans and regularly praised the value of having a legend like Brodeur in the locker room _ it was clear that Brodeur’s playing time was gone and not coming back, barring another injury.

On Jan. 14, Brodeur was given a one-week leave of absence to figure out his next move, and with that leave running into the All-Star break, he had almost two weeks to make up his mind.

Brodeur’s decision would leave the Blues with an open roster spot.
