If there is also any type of crime like a robbery or a burglary or something like that that’s just happened recently, depending on the information we have, we might be able to deploy her and track a suspect,” Moorman said. “We can also use her to clear buildings.”

SIU Carbondale Chancellor Carlo Montemagno dies after battle with cancer BRIAN MUNOZ | @brianmmunoz
SIU Chancellor Carlo Montemagno died on Oct. , according to an announcement by interim SIU President Kevin Dorsey. Montemagno announced in June that he had been diagnosed with cancer. “Dr. Montemagno was a visionary who worked tirelessly to advance SIU Carbondale since he joined the campus as a chancellor in August 2017,” Dorsey said. “He created a roadmap to secure the university’s future; earned the respect and commitment of faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members’ and was an unwavering proponent of the university's mission.” Dorsey called the Board of Trustees to convene for a special meeting as soon as possible to appoint an interim chancellor but will be serving as acting chancellor until the board appoints a new individual. Career before Southern Montemagno became the latest chancellor at the university in August 2017 after being recommended for the position by former SIU President Randy Dunn. Montemagno was an internationally recognized expert in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering, focusing his work on linking multiple disciplines to solve problems in areas of health, energy and the environment, according to Montemagno’s biography released by the university. Prior to his appointment at SIU, he founded the interdisciplinary Ingenuity Lab based at the University of Alberta in Canada. In addition to leading the lab, which connects organizations and researchers from across the Province of Alberta, he served as director of the biomaterials program for the Canadian Research
“He created a roadmap to secure the university’s future; earned the respect and commitment of faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members’ and was an unwavering proponent of the university's mission” - Kevin Dorsey interim SIU president
Council’s National Institute for Nanotechnology as well as research chair in intelligent nanosystems for the Canadian National Research Council. Before joining the faculty at the University of Alberta, he was the founding dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a professor of bioengineering at the University of Cincinnati, according to the biography. He also served as a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, founding chair of the Department of Bioengineering and co-director of the NASA Center for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration at the University of California, Los Angeles. Other previous roles include serving as director of the biomedical engineering graduate program and associate professor at Cornell University, group leader in the environmental research division at Argonne National Laboratories at the University of Chicago, and as a U.S. naval officer working with the U.S. Department of Energy. Montemagno has received a number of awards for his scientific work, including the Feynman Prize for Experimental Work in Nanotechnology, the Earth Award Grand Prize and the CNBC Business Top 10 Green Innovator award, according to the biography. He was named a Bill & Melinda
Gates Grand Challenge Winner for his development of an oral vaccine delivery system that increased vaccine stability. He has also been named a fellow for the American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering, the American Academy for Nanomedicine and the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts. Over the course of his career, he has received more than $100 million in grant funding for research, and he has received or is awaiting approval of more than 40 patents. He holds a bachelor’s degree in agricultural and biological engineering from Cornell University in New York, a master’s degree in petroleum and natural gas engineering from Pennsylvania State University and a doctoral degree in civil engineering and geological sciences from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. The Journey to SIU Montemagno was appointed as SIU’s ninth chancellor since 2000, the latest non-interim appointment since Rita Cheng’s tenure from 2010 to 2014. Montemagno and former interimchancellor Brad Colwell were the only two finalists for the position after Rodney Hanley and George Hynd pulled out of the running in June 2017. Colwell was appointed the SIU Vice President for Academic Affairs,
a position that had been vacant since 2014, after officially recommending that Montemagno be appointed as the permanent chancellor. Montemagno, a former researcher and professor in engineering, chemical and materials engineering at the University of Alberta, came to the university with a vision of a new university — “Vision 2025.” As part of his plan, Montemagno talked on shared governance and the removal of seven programs, four humanity-based, in August 2017. During the chancellor’s “State of the University” address last year, Montemagno unveiled a plan to reorganize existing academic programs and consolidating them with similar programs into new colleges. Since Montemagno unveiled his plan to reorganize SIU’s academic units, campus leaders said he had not been receptive to their input. Montemagno’s reorganization plan and proposal to eliminate all departments was met with pushback from major constituency groups including the faculty senate, undergraduate student government and graduate and professional student council. Both student constituency groups later went on to provide votes of no confidence for Montemagno after the chancellor refused to meet with student groups and would only meet with students, one-on-one.
In a survey sent to faculty association members, out of those who voted, 75 percent chose to extend the deadlines for reviewing or not advancing SIU Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s restructuring plan, according to a press release from the Illinois Education Association’s regional office. After Carbondale campus and community members took to the SIU Board of Trustees to express their discontent with the proposed reorganization, board chair Amy Sholar and Dunn released a statement on the reorganization. Dunn and Sholar said the plan was not a “be all end all” for the university. “Chancellor Montemagno has delivered an academic reorganization plan that would certainly change the way the campus operates as it introduces new ideas into what the future might be for SIUC,” a joint statement between Sholar and Dunn said. “While its various aspects have sparked a vigorous debate, everyone, including the two of us, has agreed to the fact that something must take place to change the trajectory of the campus.” Montemagno’s third and final draft of the reorganization plan planned to take SIU from eight colleges with 42 departments to five colleges with 20 schools, including the proposed education school, which would be unique in that it would have its own dean and act as an independent entity. Upon the end of the academic year, Dunn said Montemagno bet his chancellorship on the success of this reorganization, calling the initial deadline bold and aggressive but almost impossible. “The driver for his selection was that he had proposed putting forward a plan that would address the challenges of the university and would
Wednesday, OctOber 17, 2018 implement shortly after arriving over the course of a year,” Dunn said. Surrounded by controversy The chancellor was subject to protests, including an occupation of his office, on a proposed police academy at the university. In January, Montemagno had been found to have been involved in the hiring of his daughter and son-in-law in positions that the university created for them, were never formally applied for and were never advertised. The revelation raised national attention to Southern and raised ethical inquiries on nepotism law, leading SIU President Randy Dunn to launch an ethics investigation on the hirings. The investigation was later passed on the State of Illinois Ethics Commission because the SIU Board of Trustees had a hand in the hiring of the chancellor’s children. Montemagno was also found to have used university money to move his daughter’s home from Alberta, Canada to Carbondale. The former chancellor refunded the university $11,146.42 for the part of the moving cost of the second household initially covered by the university. He also paid $4,930.03 upfront to the moving company after exceeding the $61,000 in moving expenses allotted to him by the university, SIU university spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said. Looking at the administrator's past, employees of Montemagno’s nanotechnology lab in Alberta came forward about the “toxic” and “hostile” work environment he created in a lab where he employed his family. The Ingenuity Lab was established in 2012 by the government of Alberta in partnership with the University of Alberta and Alberta Innovates to conduct nanotechnology research related to health, environment, energy and agriculture. Though a reason was not explicitly given, funding for the lab was cut this year following a review of the lab’s operations — many attribute it to

Montemagno spoke on his vision for the university and the steps administration plans to take to increase enrollement numbers.
Montemagno’s poor leadership and abandonment of the laboratory. The chancellor was found to be kept in the dark as Dunn worked with SIU Edwardsville officials in an attempt to shift more than $5.125 million in state funding from the Carbondale campus. In an email obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by former faculty senate president Kathleen Chwalisz, Dunn wrote that a reference to a traditional 60/40 funding split between Edwardsville and Carbondale was “simply to shut up the bitchers from Carbondale who are saying loudly we shouldn’t even be doing the $5.125M at this time.” The motion was denied during the Board of Trustees meeting in April, Dunn later resigned from his position
as SIU President and Kevin Dorsey was appointed as an interim president as a national search is conducted for the system’s next leader. A vision for a better university Montemagno hoped to revitalize campus and make SIU the "maroon ruby in the crown of higher education in Illinois.” Through new initiatives and recruitment efforts, Montemagno hoped to increase the university’s enrollment by 18,300 by 2025 after the university saw one of it’s largest student decreases in recent history. “We knew that this year would be challenging, since many students are already seriously considering colleges in their junior year, and the recruitment season was well underway when we embarked on our
transformation,” Montemagno said in a September press release. “Our focus last year was on increasing the quality of new students, retention and positioning ourselves for the future. His focus on student life has brought internationally acclaimed musicians and groups to the university such as the band Skillet and hip-hop artist Ice Cube. Part of his efforts also include bringing a new makerspace and e-sports arena to the university. As a continuation of his plan to improve the student experience, Montemagno said a new intramural esports arena is to be placed in the Student Center within the next two months. “The whole idea is having a collegiate experience where [students] are having fun… and growing
as individuals to be successful,” Montemagno said. Montemagno also closed two of the residence hall towers “not for economic reasons” but in order to “bring all of the students in one location,” he said in August. “You probably heard that we closed the towers,” Montemagno said. “We closed the towers not for economic reasons — we closed the towers because we had the ability to bring all of the students in one location.” Montemagno said the community created now has dormitories that are “97-98 percent full versus 68 percent full.” On the dissolution of the system, Montemagno believed the campuses are better together as a university system. “There are great things happening on both campuses across the system and our hope is that moving forward we’re going to be able to bring ourselves closer together and not be driven apart,” Montemagno said during a legislative hearing at the Carbondale campus in August. As the Carbondale campus prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2019, Montemagno looked forward on ways to prepare the university for the next 150 years. Montemagno said the upward swing at the university is part of the school’s re-emphasizing four attributes associated with getting an education at SIU — communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. “We are revamping the academic programming — we’re making core curriculum extend through all four years,” Montemagno said. “I want to have a place where anybody can come learn about anything they want to learn about and to do it at a worldclass level. Montemagno is survived by his wife Pamela, his two children and five grandchildren. Contributing reporter Brian Munoz can be reached at info@brianmmunoz.com or on twitter @brianmmunoz.

McCartney’s charisma wins over the crowd at Shryock EMILY COOPER | @ecooper212
The chanting of Jesse McCartney’s name filled Shryock Auditorium on Saturday night, as the audience flooded the venue into their seats. Saweetie, an American rapper and songwriter, canceled last minute leaving DJ D9-3 to take center stage as the opener. DJ D9-3 performed alongside an
artist he found from west Chicago who is also an SIU alumni. The DJ was entertaining, besides a few transitional errors,
however his sound system didn’t help energize the crowd as half of them sat back in their seats reading their phone waiting for
Jesse McCartney to perform. After 30 minutes of restless beats and singing, it was time to transition the stage to welcome on McCartney.
“I would say out of my contract here, this was one of the best concerts.” - Eunice Obeng-Adjekum Student Programming Council, concerts director
Dory Lobel, a guitarist from The Voice and McCartney’s guest guitarist, began the show with a solo act leading into “She’s No You.” McCartney kept the high energy by performing “Leaving” and “How’d You Know.” As he sang hits like “Bleeding Love,” (sang by Leona Lewis, written by McCartney), and “Body Language,” audience members of all ages screamed the lyrics along with McCartney.
Wednesday, OctOber 17, 2018 After singing four songs, McCartney paused his performance to read a t-shirt made by a fan stating the top ten reasons he should notice her in the crowd. Keeping up the pace, McCartney sang “Better With You,” “Selfless” and “Wasted” both new singles released earlier this year. He slowed things down singing a cover of Robin Thicke’s “The Stupid Things.” During this song, McCartney paused his show as he asked the crowd who would like to come up on stage for the rest of the song. He picked a student named Emma, who told the crowd she’s a junior physiology and chemistry major, out of the hundreds of stretched out hands. There she sat on a stool as McCartney involved his crowd full of cheering fans to sing along with the rest of the song. McCartney said this was the first year of him putting out music in four years. McCartney put on a show for his fans, who all screamed after being asked who was attending their first McCartney show, after months of waiting to see him perform. McCartney’s DJ-styled upbeats and charisma personality kept the crowd pleased throughout his entire show keeping the crowd singing along to his multiple hits. “I think he was a really great performer,” Eunice ObengAdjekum, concerts director of the Student Programming Council, said. “I would say out of my contract here, this was one of the best concerts.” He ended his show with “Beautiful Soul.” The audience chanted for him to perform the song before the show was over. Willingly he performed it, while the crowd filled the auditorium with the lyrics to McCartney’s most well-known song.

Flow Arts Group at SIU attempting to
gain RSO status R ANA S CHENKE | Daily Egyptian
Three SIU students are hoping to start an official flow arts RSO on campus. Flow arts is a free-flowing movement with no rules involved, according to Eleanor Lercel, a junior studying automotive technology. “Everyone has their own flow, per se, so everyone sort of puts their own twist on different moves or tricks,” Lercel said. With flow arts, you just listen to the music and do whatever you feel like doing, Alyssa Weimer, a junior studying art education, said. “If you’re listening to a slow song, you can go slow, if you’re listening to a fast song you can
go fast,” Weimer said. “It doesn’t really matter.” Flow artists often use props when flowing. Different props can include hula hoops, poi, contact staffs, and fans, among other things. Flow props can be purchased from various sources, and some, like hoops, can be handmade, according to the flow arts group. “There [are] big companies [that sell props], too, but honestly, I like to get most of mine from small shops,” Lercel said. “You’ll make friends with the shop owners; it’s really personal.” The group said beginners interested in hooping can purchase inexpensive hoops from Walmart or Dollar Tree to start with.
Wednesday, OctOber 17, 2018 “I wanted to start and I went and bought a Walmart hoop,” Weimer said. “[I] probably bought two or three of them.” The combination of movement and manipulation of props makes up flow. “There’s something called the flow state, and it’s kind of like when you’re dancing or flowing and you really get in the groove,” Lercel said. “For me it’s like I forget about everything, and then I’ll start doing stuff that I didn’t even know I could do, and making up new things.” Weimer agreed. She said flow arts also helps her relieve stress. “I feel like you just let go of a bunch of insecurities when you’re doing it,” Weimer said. Lercel said flow arts are a great activity for adults since there aren’t a lot of new things for adults to pick up and learn. “Flow arts is really fun [because] you’re always growing and always progressing,” Lercel said. “In the beginning it might be really frustrating, but it’s so satisfying to get to the point where you can flow for a long period of time or getting that new trick.” Weimer said she enjoys flow arts because of the noncompetitive attitudes of flow artists. “When I was in dance, [...] it felt like it was so competitive, and everybody kept trying to get above each other,” Weimer said. “I feel like most hoopers aren’t like that, or just anybody that does flow arts isn’t really like that. We’re all uplifting towards each other.” The flow group said flow arts are a good way to meet people, whether through attending festivals and meeting other flow artists or talking to people who walk up and ask what they’re doing. “It’s nice getting people who are just genuinely interested as opposed to guys just coming up like, ‘Oh my god, do a trick for me,’” Mia Lopez-Negrete, a junior studying psychology, said. “When [people ask about] it in a respectful way, it’s really nice, and maybe that’s a person who

has just some untapped flow ability.” Lopez-Negrete said flow props can act as a conversation starter, or flow artists can flow at events if they’d rather not talk to people. “I’m always really kind of awkward when I go to concerts, [because] I don’t dance, [...] it gets me moving and I like that,” Lercel said. “It lets you be by yourself, but not in an awkward way.” The group said when they become an RSO, they would like to organize field trips to events like concerts, festivals, and flow jams.
“They have flow festivals where you can go and have different workshops for all different kinds of props,” Lercel said. “They have beginner and advanced levels, and you can go and learn different tricks from [flow artists] you’ve seen on Instagram.” Lercel said flow jams are organized meetups of flow artists, sometimes with live music or a DJ. “There’s not really a structure [to them]; you can go up to people if you see them flowing [and ask about tricks],” Lercel said. “It’s like
flow artists’ version of a party.” Weimer said the group is also interested in putting on performances for the public. Currently, the group is looking for a sponsor so they can get official RSO status. They have been working on a constitution detailing membership and funding. “We’re not trying to do where you need to pay a fee up front,” LopezNegrete said. “It’s not something that [is] expensive to join, it’s supposed to be something more community-based and [the only
expense would be] for stuff that we would collectively want to do.” Lopez-Negrete said the group wants to create a community for flow artists at SIU, and to help incoming freshmen come out of their shells. “I don’t want them to feel like [the group is] something so strict, like if you’re doing a sports team or doing Greek life,” Lopez-Negrete said. “Those are great things for some people that are really heavily into it, but having something that’s more free and a group of friends, it’s more relaxed.”

SIU community remembers Montemagno: 'He had such a vision' RANA SCHENKE | Daily Egyptian
SIU Student Affairs held a candlelight vigil honoring Chancellor Carlo Montemagno Friday evening. Montemagno died early Thursday morning, according to an announcement by interim SIU President Kevin Dorsey. Lori Stettler, vice chancellor of student affairs, opened the vigil with a statement about Montemagno’s philosophy about the school and students. “He believed that students were the core of everything that we do,” Stettler said.
During the open speaker portion, Elizabeth Hamilton, a graduate student studying communication disorders and sciences, shared her experiences with the chancellor. Hamilton said Montemagno attended a presentation she did for local legislators. He approached her after her presentation and praised her speech. “What he said next will remain with me forever as one of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received,” Hamilton said. “He said, ‘SIU is lucky to have you.’” Hamilton said Montemagno brought
a personal touch to SIU. “It’s not about how big our enrollment size is, or how many famous alumni we have, or what our graduates bring in financially,” Hamilton said. “It’s about what’s in [our hearts].” Hamilton said Montemagno knew it was what was inside that mattered, and he shared that value with the students. “The best thing I can close with is to say truly and sincerely from the bottom of my heart, SIU was and is lucky to have you,” Hamilton said. Phil Gilbert, vice chair of the board of trustees, also spoke at the vigil. He spoke
about Montemagno’s hiring process and how impressed the board was with his interview. “It was a unanimous decision, after all the interviews, that Carlo was the man who was going to lead us into the next decade,” Gilbert said. “He was so energetic, he had such a vision.” Gilbert said Montemagno’s vision for the university would continue. “The best legacy that we can give him is to just keep moving forward with the groundwork he has set forth,” Gilbert said. Joel Sambursky, secretary of the board of trustees, spoke about how
Montemagno embodied what it means to be a Saluki. “He was tough, he was smart, he refused to give up no matter what came his way, he cared deeply for others, and [...] he was determined to make Southern Illinois University better than he found it,” Sambursky said. “I do believe he did.” After the public comments, student trustee Brione Lockett shared his testimony. The vigil ended with a candlelit moment of silence. A public memorial service for Montemagno will be held Tuesday, Oct. 23, at Shryock Auditorium.

Extra Life raises money for hospitals through videogames E MILY C OOPER | @ecooper212
From Nov. 3 at 8 a.m. until Nov. 4 at 8 a.m. Extra Life, a non-profit charity organization will host its nationwide day of play. William Martinez, former SIU student, said every year Extra Life has a Nationwide Day of Play where major streamer and average players gather and stream, anything of their choosing, while trying to raise as much money as they can for charity. “The rules are simple, you have to stream for 24 hours straight,” Steven Brunner, sophomore computer science major, said. Martinez said Extra Life is a nonprofit charity organization. “Extra life works hand-in-hand with companies such as Children Miracle Network Hospitals, [...] and Twitch, a live video streaming video platform, to help raise money for kids in need through video games
and streaming,” Martinez said. Extra Life benefits many hospitals that Children Miracle Networks reaches, Martinez said. All the money raised by you in this event will go to any hospital a part of the network of your choosing. “With all the money gained throughout the year, the Extra Life company give every penny back to children in need, by giving them equipment and medical supplies they need as well as entertainment to enjoy themselves just as we do,” Martinez said. Martinez found out about Extra Life through a company called Rooster Teeth Film Productions, an American media and entertainment company. “They alone raised over 1.2 million dollars for this charity,” Martinez said. “They do all sorts of activities and segments which made me want to do just that with a group of friends on my own.”
Martinez brought Extra Life to SIU in the fall of 2018. “Bringing it to SIU wasn’t hard at all, anyone can start their own group,” Martinez said. “You just have to make a name, grab some games, either board games or PC gaming, hook it up and hit stream. Just like that you will have started making a difference!” Martinez said SIU made only $100-200, but as more people join, the more money can be raised. Rish Chalam, sophomore Cinema and Photography major, said he was a part of Augmented Salukis when he participated in a previous Extra Life event. “Participating in Extra Life was awesome. It was a night full of laughter, livestreaming the game Injustice,” Chalam said. Hundreds of thousands of people join in on this nationwide day of play, Martinez said. Often times players will stream before and after to continue the hype of charity raising.
“As for my team, I had about 1015-ish friends in Carbondale that joined me to goof off, lose matches, win clutches, and just have a good time for this event,” Martinez said. “You can have as many people in your group as you want.” Extra Life gives students a chance to do good while doing something they love. “I’ve only participated for one year, but the best part of Extra Life, to me, was how it was a way to support a charity, while also doing what I love and spending quality time with friends,” Brunner said. Chalam said the Augmented Salukis donated to HSHS St. John’s Hospital. “HSHS St. John’s Hospital which is partnered with SIU Healthcare actually,” Chalam said. “We choose hospitals of our choices. So, we chose this one because it well works with our healthcare system.” Some students found out about Extra Life through YouTube.
“I found out about it initially by watching a bunch of YouTube videos, but I never knew exactly what it was until last year when Will told me about it,” Nic DeDominicis, a sophomore studying Cinema and Photography, said. Martinez said he has about 13 participants so far for this year’s nationwide day of play. Martinez said this event gives opportunities to himself and others to enjoy gaming while making a difference in other’s lives. “Every penny counts, so if you have the chance to donate anything towards this cause I highly suggest you do,” Martinez said. “You can go to extra-life.org, and search up Augmented Salukis to donate to our team or just support a random team of your choosing.” Staff reporter Emily Cooper can be reached at ecooper@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @ecooper212.

Middle schoolers Jon and Chloe are best friends, until Jon gets kidnapped. Four years later, near the end of senior year, he returns. He’s different: bigger, stronger, and possessing strange powers that put those around him in danger. Afraid of hurting Chloe, he runs away, trying to find answers about what happened to him in the four years he doesn’t remember. In Providence, Rhode Island, college students and residents are dropping dead for no apparent reason. Detective Charles “Eggs” DeBenedictus suspects a serial killer might be striking in his town, but everyone else believes the deaths are coincidences. Title: Providence Author: Caroline Kepnes Genre: Thriller, paranormal thriller, romance Page count: 367 pages Release Date: June 2018 Overall grade: CI picked this book up because of its eye-catching cover and brought it home with me because of the stellar blurbs coating the back cover. This book was a strange one. Reading it, I didn’t feel like it fit into any particular genre. The paranormal part wasn’t so much paranormal as science fictionesque, but that wasn’t even enough of the story to classify it as science fiction either. I suppose the best way to read this book would be to read it without preconceptions about genre, because otherwise it won’t live up to expectations. One of the interesting things about the book was it started off in first person with middle school-aged protagonists. Not what I expected from an adult thriller. I found that a little off-putting, since although I don’t mind reading books with middle school protagonists, I’m don’t think it really meshes with any of the potential genres it’s trying to fit into. My biggest issue with this section is
an over-abundance of Chloe. It starts off with one Jon chapter, in which the author gives a perfect summary of Jon’s character, personality, and emotions and shows his kidnapping. Then four bland Chloe chapters in which nothing really happens besides Chloe missing Jon. Yes, they were friends and they loved each other. We get it. I don’t understand how the author could so concisely sum up Jon’s character and then follow that up with four chapters in which Chloe shows next to no personality. This book had so many interesting characters: Jon with being kidnapped and having mysterious powers; Eggs, the detective who will follow his gut at any cost; Lo, Eggs’ wife, a college writing professor who considers her students like family; Florie, cat lover and poet. And then we have Chloe, who has a nearly nonexistent personality, and conflicting values in friendship. For example, she says she loves Jon, but lusts after Jon’s bully in school who was the reason Jon was walking through the woods when he got kidnapped. Chloe spent the beginning of the book pining after Jon while he’s missing, then pining after him later after he runs away. We don’t see much of her character before Jon gets kidnapped, since that happens in the first chapter, narrated by Jon. We only see her in the aftermath, when her whole world essentially revolves around the fact that Jon is gone. I get that his disappearance was a traumatic event and that they had a close relationship, but reading 20 plus chapters in which she’s waiting for Jon to come back or waiting for Jon to text her gets monotonous. Also, Jon is supposedly in love with her, which is a big part of the story and the reason he ran away after he got back, but the only thing he said explain his love for her was she’s “nice.” I would have liked to see something that gave perspective on why he’s attracted to her. Maybe a flashback to the day they became friends, or times

she stuck up for him when he was getting picked on. Instead, we get Jon calling her nice and saying she smells like cookies, and meanwhile she’s obsessing over the kid who bullies him and doesn’t defend Jon at all, at least not that we see. She’s attracted to a bully because she can “see his sweet side,” like that makes it okay to ignore everything else. It makes her relationship with Jon lose credibility since she supposedly loves him but can’t stand up for him because his bully is hot. And not only is she attracted to the bully, he’s attracted to her, too. That makes two boys lusting over a girl without any clear reason. How can someone be so alluring to two characters in the story but not have any personality whatsoever? And it’s not her looks, either, because neither character mentions those. In fact, neither character ever really verbalizes what makes her attractive to them. The one thing I found interesting
about Chloe was her use of art as a coping mechanism, but I also couldn’t stand her character, so when Jon’s mom went on about how Chloe was a terrible person and profiting on the family’s tragedy (Jon’s kidnapping), I didn’t completely disagree with her. The section devoted to Eggs’ investigation of the mysterious epidemic of young people dying of heart attacks, I enjoyed significantly better. I liked Eggs’ character. I thought he was written with realistic feelings and motivations, the conflicts he had to deal with were interesting and his dedication to the case was impressive. Here’s a proposition: what if the whole first part of the book was removed and Eggs and Jon were the main characters? All of the same events and character interactions happen, but no Chloe chapters. Anything useful from Chloe could be incorporated into Jon’s chapters. Normally, I would never advocate
for cutting a female perspective from a book. Representation is something I feel strongly about, and I think all stories benefit from having well-crafted female characters present. But I have no idea what went wrong with Chloe. The other female characters in the book are fine, like Lo. She’s very family-centered, which makes her easy to identify with. Chloe feels like a partiallydeveloped side character who somehow became a narrator. Despite the negative things I’ve said in this review, I did mildly enjoy the book. I would have rated it at least a B, if it hadn’t been for my ongoing confusion on why Chloe was a guy magnet when she had nothing that made her particularly likeable. The lesson I learned after reading this: Don’t judge a book by its blurbs. Staff reporter Rana Schenke can be reached at rschenke@dailyegyptian.com.

Column: In the Dawg Pound with Dillon Patiently waiting for college basketball DILLON GILLILAND | @DillonGilliland
Less than two weeks away from the opening exhibition game for the men's basketball team, and the anticipation for the first game is upon us. The volleyball and football team came out in the early stages of their seasons looking like teams that could finish top in their conference and somehow managed to lose the reputation and look like the worst in the conference. However, on Nov. 1 SIU will be taking on the East Central Tigers for the opening game of the season. Not only that, the Salukis will move on and play the University of Kentucky, where Dawg fans will get to see some of the top players in the country including UK's freshman guard Tyler Herro. SIU will have a tough time keeping up with UK, but it will be interesting nonetheless to see some of the top talent in the world compete. Then there is also conference play, which will be very exciting to watch this year. Unlike other sports programs this season, the Salukis will actually be able to hold their own this year and possibly make a push for a March Madness appearance. Loyola is a top team to watch this season, it is going to be interesting to see if they can duplicate their success from the previous season. Honestly, one of the most thrilling things to think about going into the 2018-19 season is the fact that Southern will actually have more than six men to put on the court. The Salukis biggest problem in the previous season was that with only a six-man rotations, as soon as someone fouled out, you were down to your last five and no one ever had a chance to catch their breath. This lost them several games and caused a lot of frustration with the team, but it could not be helped because there is not a whole lot you can do about preventing injuries.

This year it is going to be a lot different as you will have new players joining the program as well as senior forward Thik Bol returning for his final year. It's safe to say fans are excited to see what kind of show Bol is going to put on considering he is going to be partnered up with senior forward Kavion Pippen. The idea of Pippen and Bol teaming up down low is going to be intimidating, but yet so thrilling to watch how far they take this team in the season. While my excitement for SIU's 201819 season is gearing up, I am in general excited to see college basketball start up for the new season. This year there is a lot of talent coming out of high school that people have been following since they were little and  it is easy to say the one player most people are waiting to see perform is senior forward Zion Williamson from Duke University. Williamson has take the media by storm for the last couple years with his inhuman athleticism and his unworldly ability to finish.
There has also been a lot of talk saying he is overrated, but I am not going to lie I think with fresh forwards RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish and Williamson, the Blue Devils are looking at their sixth national championship. Of course there is also other starts coming out of high school such as Georgetown's freshman guard Mac McClung who is known for his athleticism and his wild dunks that go viral. Freshman guard Jordan McCabe who committed to West Virginia who is going to be an exciting player to watch as he can shoot the ball as well as pass the rock with excellent court vision. Herro from Kentucky, who I mentioned earlier, will be another player for sports fans to keep an eye on as he has one of the best shots I have seen in a long time. All in all, I am excited for the basketball season to begin, and to see where all of this great talent leads theirs respective teams to.

Joseph prepares for first season as Track and Field director TAMAR MOSBY | @mosbytamar
This summer has proven to be one of reconstruction for Saluki athletics with the exits of former coaches and directors and the introduction of new faces. One of SIU athletics’ newest faces is Rosalind Joseph who was recently hired as the director of Saluki Track and Field and Cross Country. Coach Joseph arrived in Carbondale after leaving her alma mater and long time coaching job at Ohio State University where she worked with the program’s jumpers and multi-event athletes. During Joseph’s time at OSU, the team won six Big Ten team titles and produced several AllAmericans, conference champions and Academic All-Americans. Joseph was also the recipient of the Great Lakes Region Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year award for the 2018 outdoor season. Prior to her ten year coaching job at OSU, the new director was an assistant coach at Auburn University for two years. “At Ohio State I was alumni and I ran there,” Joseph said. “I left for for two years to coach at Auburn University. It was good to see a different conference and a different perspective.” Joseph described the transition from her alma mater to Southern as fairly easy, but also stressed the importance of making sure the move went smoothly for her family. “It’s been great. I think any transition is tough,” Joseph said. “I was excited about the challenge. The tough part was moving my family and finding a good school district for my children as well.”
Joseph said she is fond of SIU athletic's smaller sized programs. “I find that it has definitely been good having a smaller, more tight knit community,” Joseph said. “You can get to know people easier in the athletic department.” Joseph’s experience with sports is not limited to coaching. As a child Joesph grew up playing a multitude of sports taught to her by her father, who was a P.E. teacher. Finding her love for track and field in high school, the director initially went to college at Ohio State with no intention of competing as a track athlete, but missed the sport and decided to compete. “My mother and father were track athletes in college,” Joseph said. “As much as I thought that I wouldn’t do track and field, it turned out to be my calling.” Joseph has a long standing tradition of success in the sport of track and field dating back to her own collegiate career. During her time as a Buckeye, Joseph was a two-time AllAmerican in the triple jump, a six time Big Ten champion in the triple and long jump and a 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifier in the triple jump. Joesph also currently holds three records at OSU and was inducted into the university’s athletics’ Hall of Fame in 2014. She graduated from OSU in 2006 with plans of becoming a physical education teacher like her father, but decided to start a career in coaching. “I wanted to be a P.E. teacher and teach people about athletics,” Joseph said. “I realized that
“I find that it has definitely been good having a smaller, more tight knit community.You can get to know people easier in the athletic department.” - Rosalind Joseph Director of Saluki Track and Field and Cross Country
coaching was a similar passion. I could still teach young people and stay in athletics.” Joseph has taken her love for education and applied it to her coaching SIU’s track and field athletes. Junior middle distance runner Genesis Ewell, who is a three-time MVC champion, said she likes Joseph’s coaching style and the effect it has had on her performance. “She breaks down every single workout and the benefits of each one,” Ewell said. “They let us know what to work on in each workout, so that we can continue to progress with our goals.” Senior sprinter Bri’Anna Branch, who is a three time AllMVC athlete and two time MVC champion, also identified Joseph’s informative coaching as a positive change in the program. “They tell us what we are doing and why we are doing it,” Branch said. “They really explain things to us, so that we aren’t doing things without purpose.” The director has not found it hard to get to know her new athletes and said that track and field is something that helps her to relate to them and find common ground. “I pride myself on being an educator first,” Joseph said. “So if
I’m coming in talking about track and field, and everyone is here for that reason then we already have something in common.” Joesph said she enjoys learning about the athletes she interacts with. “The part I enjoy is getting to know the team and they have done a great job of coming in and trying to get to know me too.” Joseph said. Branch noted Joseph’s ability to relate to the athletes and how it has been very easy for them to adapt to a new program. “It has been extremely easy to adapt to her coaching style because she relates to us,” Branch said. “She is very understanding about a lot of things and is also very funny.” Joesph also said she is excited for her new job and she sees it as a new challenge. “The challenge of something new is exciting,” Joseph said. “It’s something I get to mold into what I think will be most beneficial for the student-athletes, the program, and the university.” Joseph said the second part of her new challenge is building on and upholding SIU’s success in track and field. “It is one of the more prominent programs and I take pride in the fact that Jerry Kill and the staff feel that I am the right person to
continue the tradition,” Joseph said. “I do not take that lightly.” She identified recruiting as a large factor in building on the Saluki track and field winning tradition. “The main thing is always recruiting and getting people buy in and work hard,” Joseph said. “Once you can do that, you can start winning and winning helps to keep building on tradition.” While Joseph takes on the new challenge of her job, she has also made it a point to challenge her athletes to become better on and off of the track. “We have to get better every day, every week, every month, and every year,” Joseph said. “I want to make sure that we’re recognized in athletics, community service and academics.” Ewell said she implemented Joseph’s challenge to athletes and has already seen improvements in her performance. “Everyone is already faster than they were last year in time trials,” Ewell said. “Coach Joseph knows what she wants for this program and where she wants everyone to go.” Sports reporter Tamar Mosby can be reached at tmosby@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @mosbytamar.

Jeremy Chinn: The king swiper of safeties ADAM WARFEL | @warfel_adam
Junior safety Jeremy Chinn has shown to be loyal on Southern’s defensive side of the ball since he arrived at SIU in 2016. Chinn was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan but spent most of his life in the town of Fishers, Indiana, a northeast suburb of Indianapolis. Chinn always wanted to play football and started playing in second grade. “I couldn’t play tackle football,” Chinn said. “I didn’t want to play flag football, but I eventually signed up for [flag football] in second grade.” Even as a young player the safety had success in third grade as his team went undefeated. As a running back, he was a contributor to the teams success. “[I] scored 40 touchdowns that year, seven in one game,” Chinn said. Even though Chinn has shown to be successful as a safety in college, in high school he played mainly on the offensive side of the ball. “I played [cornerback] in high school,” Chinn said. “Really running back was my primary position.” In high school Chinn said he enjoyed playing in front of a full stadium in the rivalry games. “Playing our rivalry school, Hamilton Southeastern, every time we played them there was about 10,000 people at a high school game,” Chinn said. Even though Chinn had success as a running back in high school averaging almost seven yards per carry with 101 carries, he came to Carbondale as a cornerback. “It’s where they placed me,” Chinn said. “They offered me for cornerback when I got here so I just stuck to defense.”
“He does a great job communicating and just being that guy there for us” - Marty Rogers Men's football safety coah
Colgate University in New York, along with North Dakota University and SIU were three schools offering scholarships to Chinn. “I was committed to North Dakota before I committed here and [Marty Rodgers] was the cornerback's coach [at North Dakota],” Chinn said. Safety’s coach Marty Rodgers arrived at SIU in 2016, but saw a part of who Chinn was in the recruiting process for him at North Dakota. “Getting to know him throughout the recruiting process and the things you heard about him, you know he was going to be a competitor,” Rodgers said. As soon as Chinn arrived on campus in 2016, the Salukis converted him from cornerback to safety, because of the mental approach he took on defense. ”He does a great job communicating and just being that guy there for us,” Rodgers said. Chinn described the approach and change he had to make as a player with the transition from cornerback to safety. “That whole summer I started working on safety,” Chinn said. “It was kind of natural with cornerbacks having quick feet and good hands.” Rodgers was one of the men responsible for helping Chinn convert from the cornerback position to safety.
Chinn said Rodgers is one of the men that has pushed him as a person and player to be the best he can be in every aspect of life as a student athlete. “His demand for excellence on and off the field and in the classroom, he holds me accountable,” Chinn said. Sophomore outside linebacker, Bryce Notree, came in to Carbondale in the same class of players as Chinn, and said Chinn has had an impact on him as a player. “He was one of those guys you wanted to be around,” Notree said. “Being around him you know you have to make the right decisions on and off the field.” In his freshman year here at Southern the junior safety played in eight games and started the final six after suffering an injury to his shoulder. “I dislocated my shoulder, and I tore my labrum,” Chinn said. “I also fractured part of my shoulder bone.” Even after Chinn suffered the injury his freshman year he made sure to keep the same frame of mind as he returned back to the field. “My mindset didn’t change,” Chinn said. “I thought why not me, why can’t it be me to overcome this situation.” Notree said the way Chinn approaches a play during a game and the physical build of him as a “super soldier.” “You look at him and think, this guy is built — he’s an athlete,” Notree said.
Wednesday, OctOber 17, 2018 Chinn came back from injury that season and started all six games, recording at least seven tackles in each game and getting interceptions against Illinois State, South Dakota State and Western Illinois. The Western Illinois game for Chinn in his freshman year was one of his favorite collegiate memories. “My freshman year rallying back at Western Illinois,” Chinn said. “Doing that for the seniors, I got an interception late in the game, that’s something I won't ever forget.” After coming off a successful freshman season for Chinn who ended that year with 51 tackles and three interceptions, his focus pushed to his sophomore year and second year as safety. “I got smarter, I knew the game more,” Chinn said. “I was faster, bigger and the game just came quicker.” Chinn started in all 11 games of his sophomore campaign which resulted in 66 tackles, three interceptions and four forced fumbles and a 4-7 record for the Dawgs. “There’s always room for improvement,” Chinn said. “We didn’t finish the season how we wanted to.” Now into his third year starting as safety for Southern, many proclaim him as the leader of this young defense. “He’s made a lot of plays, he’s a leader on and off the field,” Notree said. “A lot of people on the team want to follow Chinn and be just as he is.” Chinn is a man who is vocal and defines the defense and there is a noticeable difference on the defense when he is on the field. “He’s definitely one of our leaders,” Rodgers said. “We had a point in camp where he was out for a couple weeks, you can see the change when he’s out there.” Chinn as the leader of the defense looked for Salukis to stop the big plays this year, and to be troublesome to the opposing offense. “Be disruptive, take the ball away,” Chinn said. “Play smart

and play hard and fast, you combine those three things to be disruptive.” In the first game of this year the defense played well with four forced fumbles, two fumble returns and two interceptions.
Aside from the Murray State game the defense has struggled, but shown glimpses of turning it around. The game against Youngstown State the defense held the Penguins to one touchdown and three field goals.
“Trust the process,” Chinn said. “We’re working every single day, we’re never going to give up.” You can see Chinn, along with Notree and the rest of the Dawgs defense back in action in the homecoming game against
Indiana State Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. in Saluki Stadium. Sports reporter Adam Warfel can be reached at awarfel@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @warfel_adam.
