Unofficial takes to the Strip
Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Unofficial party-goers wait in line to enter Stix Bar & Billiards on the Strip early Sunday morning. Unofficial Halloween was created when then-SIUC student Steve Mulderink created a Facebook group to celebrate since bars were not allowed to operate on Halloween weekend at the time. The 15-year bar ban was fully recinded in 2015. For more photos from the weekend, please see page 5.
Bagels are a bargain for bar-goers ANNA SPOERRE | @ASPOERRE_DE
Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Winston Mezo attends his bagel cart across the street from Pinch Penny Pub early Oct. 11. Mezo said meeting and joking with all the people who come to his cart is probably the best part of his job. “I’ve met some of the best kids I’ve ever seen in my life right here at this cart,” Mezo said. Winston’s Bagels has been in operation since 1983.
@DAILYEGYPTIAN
Newcomers to Carbondale during this year’s Unofficial Halloween may have seen a lively old man standing behind a small cart until the early hours of the morning, serving warm bagels to students and bar-goers. The owner — who can often be heard telling comical stories to his customers — and his food cart attract hundreds of people every weekend, as they follow the smell of warm grilled bagels to the corner of Pinch Penny Liquors. For the past 32 years, Winston Mezo, more commonly known as the Bagel Man, has satisfied late night cravings with an array of bagel concoctions. Bagel toppings include cinnamon, garlic salt, apple slices, raisins, bacon bits, onions, cucumbers, cream cheese, butter and sunflower seeds. “I just added [ingredients] that I thought would be good,” Winston said. It is the combination of food
and entertainment that keeps customers coming back week after week, year after year. “Somehow, he makes magic on the grill when all those flavors go together,” said Guy Tiberio, an SIUC alumnus who was visiting the area, as he ordered a bagel with everything on it. Tiberio frequented the bagel cart at least twice a week when he attended the university. Winston grew up in Herrin and joined the Army after high school. After returning from the Army he attended SIUC to earn a degree in social work. He found himself with a lot of time on his hands and said it was the worst place a recovering alcoholic could be. Winston said one day he realized he wanted to live and prosper more than he wanted alcohol, so he started Wintson’s Bagels. He had a friend who previously ran a bagel cart business in Carbondale. When his friend moved, Winston decided to continue with the idea and opened
his bagel business in 1983. “It was a distraction, something to do other than drinking,” Winston said. Now, Winston is 33 years sober. However, Winston was not always as outgoing, and said when he was beginning his sobriety, it was difficult having a business so close to the bars. He often felt sick and withdrawn, and did not interact with his customers like he does now. “Alcoholics know loneliness like no other,” he said. He said found camaraderie in his involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous, and continues to give back to the organization. He is a mentor to several other recovering alcoholics, some of whom, over the years, have worked for him at his second cart. He said this gave them structured time and something to do. Winston recently closed his second cart on the strip and now operates solely from the one next to Pinch Penny because it gets the most traffic. Please see WINSTON | 2

Housing stands by no guest policy SHANNON ALLEN | @SHANNONALLEN_DE
Residence Halls will be closed for non-resident guests during Halloween weekend. The no guest policy, now in its second year, was implemented to ensure the safety of students who live at the residence halls, according to Housing Director Crystal Bouhl. Bouhl said guest visits are restricted several times during the year. According to the University Housing website, visitation is typically also restricted during Unofficial Halloween, Solar Bear and Polar Bear. The policy was enforced this past weekend for Unofficial Halloween. “During these periods, residents are expected to adhere to the restricted guest policy,” Bouhl said. “Guests or residents in violation of policies will face consequences, which depend on the severity of the violation.” Natasha Dempsey, a resident assistant at Warren Hall, said since Thompson Point does not require its residents to sign in their guests, it is difficult to confirm a resident is violating the policy. “There is no way of me knowing a resident has a guest unless I see them in the hall or walking around,” Dempsey said. “Luckily, most residents

“I love the stories, and I love that it’s local,” said Colleen Ryterski, a senior from Pinckneyville studying geography and environmental resources, who has been coming to Winton’s since 2013. “You can’t get this everywhere.” Winston said he loves Monday
mornings with a laugh, because he takes his hard-earned cash to the bank. “But the kids are the best part of it. I’ve met some of the best kids I’ve ever met in my life right here at these bagel carts,” he said. Even though he does not work as many hours as he used to, Winston can still be found Thursday through Saturday night from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. at

go out for these holidays and stay with friends off campus.” Dempsey said if she sees someone she knows does not live in Warren, she has to tell that person to leave. If the person refuses to leave, Dempsey must call her supervisor. If the person still refuses to leave, the supervisor will then call the Department of Public Safety. “That part is always really awkward, but it helps keep the building safe,” Dempsey said. Unlike west campus, residents in east campus are required to sign themselves and their guests in. Jake Barker, a freshman from Taylorville studying music business, lives in Schneider Hall and said he thinks the “no guest” policy is successful. “I understand the school’s reasoning for not allowing guests in the towers. But, the only reason for the guest ban is because SIU has let the Unofficial Halloween tradition get out of hand when people are breaking windows and flipping cars,” Barker said. Bouhl said east campus will turn restricted guests away at the door and on-duty staff will enforce the policy at west campus. Bouhl said the policy has proven to boost residential safety but did not elaborate. his cart. He’ll likely be serving a chatty crowd as he tells one of his famous jokes about a fabled nephew, with his AA pendant hanging from a chain around his neck. “At $2.25, the bagel’s a steal. It’s the best value for your hard earned student loan money. But, the stories and the entertainment you get is worth $2.25 more,” Tiberio said.

Cross-country excursions available for student veterans SHANNON ALLEN | @SHANNONALLEN_DE
Student veterans will be traveling together, both locally and across the country, in an effort to replicate working as a team as they did in the military. The SIU Touch of Nature Environmental Center and Veterans Services are offering student veterans trips to hunt, backpack, canoe and whitewater raft in Florida, Colorado and southern Illinois during the 2015-16 school year. Veteran Adventures is available for all student veterans, members of the National Guard, the Reserves and the Registered Officers’ Training Corps. Shane Brady, a graduate assistant at SIU and a U.S. Army veteran, realized there was a lack of opportunities for veterans to socialize and thought of taking trips to bring them together. “These trips will definitely help build a ton of camaraderie because we use challenge and adventure as a tool to make them work together
and trust each other, just like they had to do in the military,” he said. The trips, Brady said, involve activities the veterans have to work together to complete, which will help them bond. “Many veterans feel like they will never create bonds as strong as they had with people they served with, and those bonds were created because they literally trusted their lives to someone else,” Brady said. “These trips are meant to replicate being a team member in a high-risk situation where the results of failing are severe.” Zack Constable, an SIUC student and U.S. Marines veteran, said that transitioning from the Marines to college was, and continues to be, a struggle. “Being institutionalized and desensitized is rough when being free around people who are sensitive,” Constable said. “The hardest part for me was not being around the guys or anyone I trusted as much as them.” Zane Ecklund, a graduate assistant at the university and a U.S.
Navy veteran, works at the Veterans Services office and helps promote these trips. Ecklund said since some veterans come to college after they serve and are older than most students, they often feel out of place and alone. “A lot of veterans who come into this office are older because they went into the military right after high school, so they don’t know many people in college anymore,” Ecklund said. “These trips are a great way for veterans to meet people and make friends with similar interests.” Trips are funded by the participants, but Touch of Nature and Veterans Services is hosting fundraising events to make it so veterans can participate for free. The fundraisers will be Nov. 10 at Quatro’s Pizza and Feb. 16 at S&B Burgers. If diners at either restaurant say they support Veteran Adventures, 20 percent of their bill will go toward a veteran scholarship or funding a trip, which can range from $150 to $700.

Facebook seeks to conquer the workplace QUEENIE WONG | SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
What’s taboo in some workplaces is just business for Stella & Dot employees, who use Facebook to connect with thousands of stylists selling the company’s jewelry and fashion accessories. So when Facebook approached the California company this year about testing a separate version of the social network, called “Facebook at Work,” Stella & Dot jumped on board, joining more than 100 other businesses. “There isn’t really a strict line for us between social media in the workplace versus social media out there in the world. We blur the identity quite a bit,” said Meera Bhatia, Stella & Dot’s vice president of product. Facebook, where 1.5 billion people share wedding photos, vacation selfies and random thoughts, is making its way into the office and plans to launch a work version of the site in several months. But as the world’s most popular social network tries to shed its image as a website meant only for personal time, Facebook will also have to convince a variety of businesses that the work version can foster collaboration more than procrastination, experts say. “We’ve all seen the five seconds when a boss walks by and somebody clicks out of Facebook,” said Rebecca Wettemann, vice president of Nucleus Research, an information technology research firm in Boston. The social media giant isn’t the first tech firm to offer a social tool to help employees communicate with their co-workers, Wettemann noted; Salesforce’s Chatter, Microsoft’s Yammer, SAP’s Jam, IBM’s Connections,
LinkedIn and Slack are just some of the other options already available. Research on those sites shows they can make employees more productive. For example, Nucleus Research found in 2011 that users of Salesforce’s Chatter experienced a 12.5 percent bump in productivity because of fewer emails and a more rapid access to work information. “We see social collaboration driving productivity when it’s linked to giving employees better information to do their jobs. Facebook’s challenge is breaking its perception of ‘social not working’ to show how they can really provide value in the workplace,” Wettemann said. About 88 percent of employees surveyed by law firm Proskauer Rose in 2013 and 2014 revealed they harnessed the power of social media for business, up from 76 percent in 2011. But the survey also showed that many employees are using social media in ways companies might disapprove — goofing off at work, leaking confidential information, posting disparaging remarks or harassing co-workers. About 36 percent of employers worldwide still block access to social media, the survey found. State workers in South Carolina, for example, have been barred from using social media sites since July unless it’s part of their jobs. Investment banking firms, which are required to keep records of business communication on any device or website that their employees use, are also known for blocking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube at work. Even though Facebook at Work looks identical to a person’s personal Facebook, it’s meant solely for communicating with co-workers, which could make users think twice about what they’re posting.

B RADEN B ARTON | Daily Egyptian From left to right: Kickers Josh Haynes, Austin Johnson and Chris Adams kneel on the sideline Aug. 15 at Saluki Stadium during the last scrimmage of the season.
Kickers at SIU and MVFC fail to impress SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE
SIU football’s 39-36 loss to No. 19 Indiana State on Saturday was an ugly game to watch. Neither team really wanted to win, and neither kickers did helped. In the game, Saluki junior kicker Austin Johnson missed a 38-yard field goal, which would have made up the difference in score. Johnson was not alone in his struggles, as ISU junior kicker Eric Heidorn missed a 43-yard kick in the game and has not made a kick longer than 28 yards all season. The entire Missouri Valley Football Conference is struggling to put three points on the board. The
conference as a whole is only hitting 63 percent of field goals so far this season. Southern Illinois has the second highest field goal percentage in the conference with 69 percent, only behind next week’s opponent Youngstown State’s mark of 85 percent. Even the latter won’t turn the heads of NFL scouts, no matter how bad their kickers are. The field goal is Johnson’s fourth missed attempt and the third from less than 40 yards. This is also the second game — the other being the 37-36 loss to Western Illinois — where a missed field goal could change the outcome. This year seems eerily reminiscent of last year’s situation with preseason all-conference selection Thomas
Kinney’s struggles — converting 53 percent of his kicks. Sure, he made 75 percent of kicks in his junior year, including a 52-yarder. But those percentages scream acceptance of mediocrity from the conference. Senior kickoff specialist Chris Adams is the other kicker on SIU’s active roster. Adams was in an open competition with Johnson in preseason camps. Adams has not attempted field goals since high school, but did convert 11 field goals with a long of 49 yards his junior and senior years. There may not be an answer to the problem immediately, and Johnson may just be in a slump. However, SIU coaches need to figure out who they can field as kicker with more success in the meantime.

A 2-0 series lead manifested itself in the span of three batters in 13 pitches during the first inning of Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday night.

On the fifth pitch of the game, Curtis Granderson found a hole in the shift on the right side of the infield, and he reached on a single to start the Mets’ night. David Wright, who was 1-for19 entering the game, followed by hitting a booming double to deep center on a 2-1 pitch to plate the game’s first run and give the Mets a 1-0 lead against Arrieta. It marked Wright’s first RBI since Game 1 of the NLDS. Murphy, who homered in each of the previous three games, hooked a ball foul into the second deck in right field on the second pitch of the atbat, but on the fourth pitch he evened out his swing and poked a two-run homer into right to give the Mets a 3-0 lead.
