19 alcoholrelated visits to ER during Unofficial

A blast from the past

SINCE 1916

VOL. 100 ISSUE 2

CORY RAY | @CORYRAY_DE

The Memorial Hospital of Carbondale’s Emergency Department saw a total of 19 alcohol related injuries this weekend, according to Southern Illinois Healthcare Communications Coordinator Rosslind Rice.

Of the 19, seven of the patients exhibited blood-alcohol levels, six of which were underage.

The hospital also saw 12 victims of assault, including wounds, lacerations, musculoskeletal injuries and fractures.

Rice said these numbers are preliminary and the count could be higher as it is hard to categorize the injuries as a result from Unofficial Halloween.

“We always have to have extra staff ... doctors and additional nurses to handle the load,” Rice said. “We have to [prepare beforehand]. Our volumes are already high; it’s an emergency room, but when you have risk of such, you have to plan ahead.”

Approximately 75 percent of the land in Illinois is being used as corn fields. Nearly 97 percent of the food consumed within Illinois is imported from other states and countries, according to a report by the Illinois Local and Organic Food and Farm Task Force.

SIUC is working to raise local consumption by bringing in more food from the area to the dining halls.

Leslie Duram, the director of SIUC’s environmental studies program, said eating local food keeps more money in the local economy and has a large environmental impact.

“Studies show that most food we eat travels 1,800 miles from the field to the fork,” Duram said.

“That has a huge impact — from [carbon dioxide] emissions, from transportation and everything that has to occur to bring it that distance.”

In 2008, the Illinois General Assembly organized the Illinois Local and Organic Food and Farm Task Force to develop policy and funding for local farms and food systems state-wide. The task force eventually led to the passing of the Illinois Local and Organic Food and Farm Act. “We came together to figure out what we could do to promote local food within the state,” Duram said.

The act includes an initiative to have areas of state-provided food

service, such as the university, purchase 20 percent of their food locally by 2020.

William Connors, executive chef for University Housing, has been in charge of menu developments, quality control and sustainability initiatives in the dining halls for the past 20 years. He was also a member of the task force.

In time, Connors has worked with the university’s sustainability department to improve the dining halls.

“We were doing it before it was cool,” Connors said of the university implementing sustainable practices on campus.

In fall 2008, Connors helped eliminate trays, which saves approximately 134,000 gallons of water and 66,000 pounds of food annually, from the dining halls, which reduces the number of dirty dishes and how much food students can take at once. The green initiative, Connors said, continues to reduce water, chemical use and food waste.

Connors, along with students and faculty from geography and agriculture started a sustainable garden in 2009 after a group of students from the geography department proposed the dining halls serve organic vegetables.

The SIU Sustainable Farm, located on Pleasant Hill Road, began as four 4-by-8 foot beds and has expanded to cover almost three acres.

The Green Fee, included in student fees every semester, partially funds the farm, and some of the kale, cherry tomatoes, squash and bell peppers grown there are used in the dining halls.

Connors said he continues considering ways to purchase and serve more food from closer to home.

“It would take growers willing to grow large amounts of [food] for us,” Connors said. “We don’t have that going on yet.”

Despite this limitation, Connors is still working toward the 20 percent by 2020 goal. He said there is a plan in place to track local and sustainable food brought into the dining halls.

Connors said at one point, about 24 to 25 percent of the food served was local. These percentages have lowered to the current 15 to 17 percent.

Connors said because of budget restraints, SIUC policy does not allow the purchase of local food more expensive than what they can purchase through US Foods, the food distribution company the university uses. If the university were to buy raised vegetables just from local vendors, he said it would cost 20 to 40 percent more than using US Foods.

However, Connors is aware of which companies are local and is mindful of sustainability when purchasing food because students should care where their food comes from.

The candidates with the most ads are not doing well in the polls JOHN MCCORMICK | BLOOMBERG NEWS

The top six Republican presidential campaign advertisers, all independent political action committees that can raise and spend unlimited sums of money, have little to show for what they’ve shelled out so far. After at least $18.5 million of television commercials, the candidates they’re backing are among those doing the worst in the polls.

Those findings, from a Bloomberg Politics analysis of broadcast advertising data, raise questions about the return on investment so far for the mega donors mostly responsible for super PAC financing, while also suggesting that long-held truisms of campaigning might be weakening in the face of new technology.

Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, three candidates who have led in the polls in recent weeks despite never having held elective office, haven’t had super PAC support on TV. Among the three, Carson is the only one to have run his own campaign ads, and at significantly lower levels than the super PACs. “We’re not going to be running ads. I can tell you that,” Fiorina said Friday in Iowa, the state that hosts the first nomination voting. “We’re going to be shaking hands and meeting voters.”

The ability to advertise in multiple states at once has traditionally been viewed as a sign of political strength in presidential campaigns. In this election season, at least so far, it seems a sign of weakness.

“Often you spend money when you are in trouble,” said Ken Goldstein, a University of San Francisco professor and polling and advertising analyst for Bloomberg Politics. “In this campaign, that’s proving especially true.”

The analysis used data from Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group and was based on presidential campaign-related spots run through Oct. 12. It doesn’t include millions more spent on local and national cable, radio and other platforms.

Among the super PACs linked to a candidate still in the Republican race, Right to Rise, the group backing Jeb Bush, has been the most vigorous advertiser. It’s also the best-funded of this year’s presidential super PACs, having raised $103 million in the first six months of the year. That has helped the group run 3,229 broadcast spots in support of the former Florida governor, who began the campaign as

the expected frontrunner but is now struggling to gain traction.

The pro-Bush super PAC has been buying broadcast spots for a month, targeting the leadoff nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The highest concentration — 42 percent of the ads — have aired in TV markets that cover New Hampshire.

“It’s really a shock and awe campaign. They’re on satellite, radio, cable and broadcast,” Goldstein said of Right to Rise, citing industry data he’s seen. “They are everywhere.”

Nonetheless, recent New Hampshire polls show Bush running 10 points behind Trump and lagging behind Fiorina.

Mike Murphy, who runs Right to Rise and served as a top adviser to Bush’s two successful campaigns for governor, said it’s too early to say whether the ads have been effective.

He argued that there’s been little high-quality polling in the early states since the super PAC went on the air in mid-September.

“Advertising takes a long time to take effect because you have a complex story to tell,” he said. “Obsessing on polling now is an amateur mistake.”

It can take 10 days to two weeks to drive a message with a television ad and the super PAC probably has about a dozen messages it wants to sell for Bush between now and the first balloting in February, Murphy said, adding that the group will likely be on the air continually between now and then.

Bush himself has pointed to the importance of the TV campaign to potentially move his poll numbers.

“I’m going to do something really novel,” he said earlier this month. “It’s called advertising.”

Goldstein countered that it will become increasingly hard for Bush and others to move poll numbers through ads, as more candidates and super PACs go on the air later this year.

“If you are not moving numbers now when you mostly have the space to yourself, it may be hard to move numbers later,” he said. “One would expect to see direct advertising effects when you are up in a one-sided situation and people are still search for information.”

The correlation between polling success and advertising spending is far from perfect and there are many variables that determine a candidate’s success. Still, advertising spending

is typically one of the largest single expenses for presidential campaigns.

After the PAC backing Bush, the next biggest advertisers on the Republican side, in rank order, are committees backing Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

All of those candidates are stuck in single digits in state and national polls, with Jindal, Christie and Kasich especially trailing the field. Each of those PACs has run at least 1,000 spots already this year. So far, virtually all of the spending on the Republican side has been by super PACs. Another example of the futility of advertising so far this year: Rick Perry. The Opportunity and Freedom PAC, which backed the former Texas governor before his Sept. 11 exit from the race, still technically ranks as the top Republican advertiser for total broadcast spots, even after being off the air more than a month.

The super PAC started advertising the day after Perry announced his candidacy in June and spent an estimated $926,000 on broadcast ads in an attempt to boost the candidate, who struggled from the start largely because of the errors he’d made in his first presidential run four years earlier.

“We wanted to get up early, reintroduce him to voters there, knowing that he was well like there, and see what could happen,” said Austin Barbour, who led the Perry super PAC and is now a senior adviser with Bush’s campaign.

But Trump’s presence upended the traditional rules, Barbour said, as the real estate mogul and former reality TV star’s knack for attracting free media coverage — in other words, via news programs _ set a new precedent for a presidential race.

“He’s an entertainer and he’s entertaining,” Barbour said of the billionaire. “But at some point, he will have to go talk to voters in the early states.”

Trump’s free media advantage is something he routinely brags about.

“I’m getting so much publicity that I don’t have to advertise so far,” he said Oct. 7 in Waterloo, Iowa.

With his poll numbers down from previous highs, even Trump plans to start running ads soon. He told the Washington Post earlier this month that he’s planning to spend $20 million on paid television advertising later this year.

As debt limit deadline nears, Lew worries about ‘terrible’ accident JENNIFER EPSTEIN AND BILLY HOUSE Bloomberg News

Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew on Monday tried to increase pressure on lawmakers to raise the nation’s debt limit before a Nov. 3 deadline, warning that he feared an accidental federal government default if they wait too long.

“I worry every time we hit this that sometime there would be an accident, and that would be terrible,” he told CNBC. Lew wrote to congressional leaders last week that the Treasury Department would run out of borrowing authority on Nov. 3 — two days earlier than a previous estimate — unless the $18.1 trillion debt limit is raised.

At that point, he said, the Treasury will have about $30 billion in cash and will have to use that

and the daily inflow of revenue to pay a host of major bills, including Social Security payments, federal salaries and interest on the debt.

“Just think about it, we have a government of the United States, a $4 trillion-a-year enterprise, where swings of a few billion dollars can determine whether or not you have enough cash to pay your bills,” Lew said.

“It’s ridiculous,” he said. “The debt limit needs to be raised.”

Republican congressional leaders have said they want to avoid a federal government default, but many conservatives want spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit.

Obama administration officials have refused to negotiate, arguing that Congress has a responsibility to raise the limit to pay for spending that it already has authorized.

Lew said the recent turmoil among House Republicans, which led Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, to announce he was stepping down, has complicated the issue as the deadline approaches.

“I believe that all the congressional leaders understand that they need to do this,” Lew said. “I think they’re in a very uncertain environment right now in Congress and they don’t have a lot of time.”

Chris Krueger, a Washington policy analyst at financial services firm Guggenheim Partners, said in a report to clients Monday that there was a “40 percent probability for some kind of accident that would keep Congress from raising the debt ceiling in time due to brinkmanship, procrastination, or political gridlock.”

“We believe the debt ceiling will

be raised in November, but we are basing that on nothing more than blind faith and would remind investors who shrug at another debt ceiling ‘boy cried wolf ’ charade that, at the end of the book, the wolf eats the boy,” he said.

A 2011 standoff over the debt limit, which was raised at the last minute, spurred Standard & Poor’s to downgrade the nation’s AAA credit rating for the first time.

Another showdown two years later — again resolved before a default — caused investors to avoid buying some government bonds and led to higher government borrowing costs.

The brinkmanship over the issue in recent years has sparked calls from the Government Accountability Office and others for Congress to change the way it handles the debt limit to avoid

future crises.

The nation technically hit the debt limit in March, but Treasury officials have been using so-called extraordinary measures since then to juggle government finances and continue borrowing.

Those measures will be exhausted on Nov. 3, starting the clock ticking on a potential default, Lew said.

The Bipartisan Policy Center think tank has estimated that the Treasury would not be able to pay all of its bills sometime between Nov. 10 and Nov. 19.

But Lew said it’s difficult to estimate the exact date a default could happen, which is why Congress shouldn’t delay.

“Anytime you wait until the last possible minute, you’re inviting a risk, and this is not a last minute that we can know with absolute certainty,” he said.

Hilary Clinton looks to turn Benghazi hearing into next boost JENNIFER EPSTEIN AND BILLY HOUSE Bloomberg News

Hillary Clinton and her allies can’t stand the House Select Committee on Benghazi, charging that it’s driven by political motives and a rehashing of previous investigations into the 2012 attack in Libya that left four Americans dead. Some even call it the Select Committee to Destroy Hillary Clinton.

Despite all the risks that come with hours of nationally televised questioning before a Republican-led congressional panel, the Democratic front-runner and her team are looking forward to Thursday’s hearing as a key turning point that will help solidify the momentum she’s built since last week’s debate.

To avoid further charges of political showboating following House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s comments on the committee, GOP members are expected to focus their early rounds of questioning on the attacks and to reference her emails

as evidence, not as a separate line of inquiry and investigation. Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, for instance, has vowed that his questions to Clinton “won’t be about the server.”

Aware that his committee’s legitimacy is being challenged, even by some members of his own party, Chairman Trey Gowdy, of South Carolina, was insistent Sunday that his fellow Republicans stop making comments that risk to derail his work. “I have told my own Republican colleagues and friends, ‘Shut up talking about things that you don’t know anything about.’ And unless you’re on the committee you have no idea what we’ve done, why we’ve done it and what new facts we have found,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

While some Republicans may be hoping the Democratic presidential front-runner will slip up during her hours of testimony, a Clinton aide pointed to her long day of Benghazi testimony before Senate and House committees in January 2013 as evidence of her endurance,

noting that she’d suffered a concussion and a blood clot the month earlier and still “killed it.”

But during that appearance, an exasperated Clinton also gave her political opponents ammunition when responding to a line of questioning from Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, about the Obama administration’s initial characterization about what sparked the Benghazi attack.

“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans?”

Clinton fumed. “What difference at this point does it make?”

Clinton’s focus before last Tuesday was on preparing for the debate and it’s only since then that she’s been able to prioritize preparations for the hearing, aides said. She has no travel on her public schedule ahead of the hearing and is studying a briefing book to make sure she gets her facts right. While her immediate preparations are limited to this week, an aide noted that her two previous rounds of

testimony on Benghazi and the questions she’s been getting on the campaign trail for months about her email account have prepared her for the style and substance of the hearing.

Clinton is expected to start off with an opening statement much like the ones she delivered during her previous round of testimony, honoring the four Americans who died, taking responsibility for her role overseeing the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and stressing all the efforts to investigate and ameliorate what went wrong on that night more than three years ago.

If Republicans’ questioning heads down rabbit holes that have little to do with Benghazi or that are clearly politically motivated, Clinton can always point to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s suggestion that the committee was successful in hurting her poll numbers or Rep. Richard Hanna’s assertion last week that “a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people — an individual: Hillary Clinton.”

Why Congress should reconsider the Perkins Loan program THOMAS J. BOTZMAN The Philadelphia Inquirer Numbers have a way of revealing the real story beneath the rhetoric and misinformation around controversial topics.

Take the ongoing Federal Perkins Loan debate, for example.

More than 1,700 institutions of higher education participate in the program, resulting in about 500,000 students in need being awarded loans to finance their college educations. This campusbased program provides funds to students with the highest level of financial need.

The federal government began its new fiscal cycle on Oct. 1. For the first time in 57 years, the proposed budget does not include the Perkins Loan program.

Although there is a wide range of programs that aim to support the nation’s neediest students, the Perkins Loan has a few unique twists that make it valuable to both students and taxpayers.

Most obviously, the Perkins Loan is a loan and not a grant.

As such, the student agrees to pay back the loan over a 10-year period following graduation. With a 5 percent fixed interest rate, repayment generates additional funds for the next generation of students. Furthermore, colleges and universities make contributions to the fund, which extends the reach of the program.

At Misericordia University, a cumulative federal contribution of $1.1 million was available for student loans during the 201415 academic year, $245,000 of

that in new loans. Those funds were cumulatively supplemented by more than $600,000 of institutional money, which also was lent to students. Although the limit for Perkins Loans to undergraduates is $5,500 annually, most students receive about $2,000 per year. Perkins Loan funds help fill the gap between other sources of financial aid and family contributions so students can meet the entire cost of attending a college or university of their choice.

One argument that led to the expiration of the Perkins Loan program was that other vehicles provide funds to students with significant financial need. Yes, the landscape of student-aid programs is complicated. It requires expertise on the part of financial aid administrators

to apply assistance appropriately and justly. It is important, nonetheless, to have an array of programs that meets the need of each individual and not just a mythical “typical” student.

The Pell Grant, for example, provides a much larger average award to a student, but it does not need to be repaid. While the Pell is a progressive and respected option, it does not return funds to be lent again and again and again.

Stafford Loans, meanwhile, are not earmarked solely for students with the greatest need and do not carry a fixed interest rate.

I should also note that there have been efforts by Congress to cut funding for Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, just as we have witnessed for the Perkins Loan program.

If the Perkins Loans are not restored, repayments of loans will

return to the federal government.

We would then have taken a program that has worked for nearly six decades — providing a hand up for so many students — and turned it into a political football with little return to taxpayers.

Support for education at the federal level is an investment in our collective future. It is simple arithmetic to figure out that a $2,000 loan each year for four years equals $8,000. That is obviously less than the $8,000 plus 5 percent interest the student repays — not to mention the lifetime of higher earnings that provide more taxable income.

We have taken a solid program that works for everyone and replaced it with, well, nothing.

That’s not solid policy, good government or a step toward building a future for all of us.

Non-traditional students deserve better support systems SUSAN GROENWALD The Philadelphia Inquirer

Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates have some company. Today, more than one in five workingage Americans is a college dropout.

Unfortunately, most dropouts aren’t tech billionaires. Many are nontraditional students who leave school not because of academic concerns, but because of issues specific to their stage of life: a sick family member, a job loss, a lack of family support or just the pure shock of returning to school after a long hiatus.

Colleges must do more to reverse this trend. After all, they bear at least some responsibility for the fact that 20 percent of their students walk away.

Schools can drive down the dropout rate — and get more students to graduate — by investing in staffing support and resources for high-risk students.

The United States has the highest college dropout rate of any industrialized nation.

Almost half the students who enroll in postsecondary programs fail to graduate

within six years. More than 36 million Americans have already dropped out.

Dropout rates are even worse for nontraditional students — students who commute from off campus, go to school part-time, elect to change careers, or start pursuing a degree later in life.

This burgeoning group comprises 75 percent of the college student population.

But even as their enrollment numbers have increased, nontraditional students’ graduation rates have remained low. Nearly two in three fail to graduate.

Fortunately, some colleges are bucking the dropout trend. By providing targeted institutional support for nontraditional and first-time college students, these schools are graduating more students on time — and preparing them for the workforce.

Consider the efforts of Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., It has implemented a personalized achievement contract that emphasizes helping students who come from low-income backgrounds and are the first in their families to attend college. Each freshman in the program is paired with a professional mentor who offers academic advice and

helps with financial aid and career planning.

Since its implementation, Mercy’s five-year graduation rate has increased 20 percent.

A coaching service known as InsideTrack has delivered similar results. It provides students with personal coaches who regularly contact students to discuss classes, map out academic goals and suggest appropriate institutional resources. In a randomized study, InsideTrack coached more than 8,000 first-year students at eight institutions of higher learning. These students were almost 9 percent more likely to stay in school after their first year than noncoached students.

The effects of the program persisted even after the yearlong coaching period had ended.

Coached students were 13 percent more likely to graduate than non-coached students.

At Chamberlain College of Nursing, we’ve developed a philosophy of education called Chamberlain Care, which focuses on taking extraordinary care of students and providing robust resources to help them succeed.

A recent Gallup poll revealed that a primary factor in success in school and the workplace was having a faculty member who “cared about

them as a person.” Yet only 22 percent of those surveyed reported receiving such support in college.

Through Chamberlain Care, students have access to success seminars and contentspecific tutoring that teach communication, relationship-building and emotionalintelligence skills. Students are also engaged in experiential learning through simulated hospital environments and clinical work.

Since the initiative was implemented two years ago, student academic performance has surged. In one key course, the number of students who passed increased from 71 percent to 92 percent. More students are also graduating and passing the national nursing licensing exam.

Perhaps more importantly, the program has proved invaluable for high-risk students who have failed at or withdrawn from other nursing schools. Since its inception, 230 such students have enrolled at Chamberlain’s Addison, Ill., campus. Of that group, more than 90 percent graduated. Ninety-four percent passed the national nurse licensing exam on their first attempt — a rate roughly 10 percentage points higher than the national average.

‘Bridge of Spies’ crosses between boredom and entertaining JACOB PIERCE |@JacobPierce1_DE

The Jacob Show

Just because a master is behind the wheel, does not mean the ride is entirely entertaining.

“Bridge of Spies,” directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance, is made with nearperfection, but it makes the viewer bored.

It is almost impossible for Spielberg to make a bad film.

This does not stop him from making tedious films like “Bridge of Spies” and “Lincoln.”

This movie has nothing wrong with it on a base level. The acting, directing and overall storytelling are masterful and will most likely be an Oscar nominated film.

This film fails at its writing.

“Bridge of Spies” does not need to be an action-packed spy thriller.

The film is about a lawyer trying to persuade Soviet Russia and the United States to trade imprisoned spies, a more

dialogue-heavy concept.

So the film could have been more mature like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.” But the film takes this idea, and pushes it in an uneventful way.

Hanks and the clever back and forth between his character and the opposition keep tension going, but this movie stops any attempt of creating real anxiety right in its tracks.

‘Back to the Future’ is back! How much did it get right?

RICH HELDENFELS Akron Beacon Journal

It’s not quite the future imagined.

When “Back to the Future Part II” hit theaters in 1989, it included what the world might look like in 2015.

Among the things it got wrong: We don’t navigate aerial highways in flying cars.

There’s no “Jaws 19.” That series of movies sputtered to an end after four films.

We still have lawyers.

Princess Diana never became queen. The record in the mile run is not 3 minutes. We don’t have a woman president yet.

The movie did anticipate some things — including an easily-used digital camera and Vietnam as a surfing attraction — and inspired reallife hoverboards. And the Cubs are still in the hunt for the World Series.

But regardless of its visions, the trilogy of films from 1985, 1989 and 1990 as a whole still appeals to many fans across generations. And not only because we have reached the 30th anniversary of the first film.

While that anniversary was in July, greater celebrations have been set for Wednesday — among them theatrical replays of the movies and other events, new home-viewing offerings and the release of limited-edition Pepsi modeled after the second movie’s drink. There has also been constant speculation that Nike will release a replica of its futuristic shoe in the second film. All that is happening because when the second film leaps into the future, it hits Oct. 21, 2015.

But what is this all about?

The series began with young Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) going from 1985 to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean developed by inventor Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Marty inadvertently stalled the relationship between his future parents and had to fix it to ensure his own existence.

Well, that and give Chuck Berry a musical inspiration.

Marty actually improved his 1985 life by his 1955 deeds. But in the second film, Marty and Doc had to go to the future, 2015, to deal

Universal Studios | TNS Inventor Emmett “Doc” Brown, played by actor Christopher Lloyd, left, and Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, prepare for the first test of the Doc’s time machine in a shopping mall parking lot in the 1985 film “Back to the Future.”

with another family crisis — and Marty again causes havoc, this time for 1985. The third movie — shot back-to-back with the second — sent Marty and Doc to the Old West, and to a resolution of the entire story.

The first film was the biggest hit of 1985. Fox, who had become a TV star thanks to “Family Ties,” showed he could carry a theatrical movie.

Director Robert Zemeckis had the first of what would prove to be a string of blockbusters such as “Forrest Gump.”

The first film “was popular because it combined the best of oldschool and new-school storytelling,” said film and TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz. “The old-school part was the clockwork plot — literally clockwork, in the end — and the

strong, simple characterizations.

“The movie had a sense of craft that was often lacking in 1980s Hollywood films, which could sometimes feel rather slapped-together,” said Seitz, the editor-in-chief of Rogerebert. com, via email. “The new-school part was the special effects, which were innovative both technically and in terms of images — stuff like the flaming tire tracks were as iconic as the way the stars in Star Wars turned into streaks when the Millennium Falcon jumped into hyperspace.”

Seitz saw it for the first time when in high school, and then kept going back that summer.

“I probably saw it six times,” he said. “I didn’t realize who Robert Zemeckis was, even though I had seen some of his other movies. This was

the one that made me pay attention to him.”

And it still can have that effect.

“It holds up really well,” said Seitz.

“The most fascinating thing about its durability to me is that now, 30 years later, we are as far away from Marty’s time as Marty was from his parents’ time. Back in the ‘80s, we watched this movie and laughed at how primitive the past seemed.

Now we laugh at how primitive the ‘80s seem. It’s a double time-capsule now, because it shows us how 1980s Americans viewed the 1950s.”

But what about the second and third film? Neither did as well as the first at the box office, and the second one can feel overcomplicated as it moves around in time and characters overlap with themselves

along the timeline.

“The second film doesn’t have the emotional pull of the first one, but as a conceptual feat it’s dazzling, especially when Marty sees Marty in that replay of the finale,” said Seitz.

“The third one is quite sweet and has some marvelous Western parody elements, and the final chase is great.”

Some theaters will show all three together on Wednesday, and “it’s kind of fun to watch all three of them close together and see how they comment on each other, and also how they create this sense of history repeating itself, almost as a preemptive joke against complaints that the sequels repeat themselves,” said Seitz. “The same actors play themselves at different ages, or they play their own ancestors or descendants.”

Time capsule: The last 10 years of SIU football homecoming

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2015

Row, row, row your biceps

BRENT MESKE | @BRENTMESKEDE

The Saluki football team was once dominant in homecoming games, winning 10-straight from 2001-10, but since then the Salukis have only won once on homecoming.

Saturday marks the third time SIU and Youngstown State have played on the Salukis’ homecoming since 2007. The teams split the past two homecoming visits, with SIU winning in 2007 and Youngstown winning in 2011.

The Dawgs have a 27-25 record for homecoming dating back to 1963, and they are 4-3 since coach Dale Lennon took over for Jerry Kill, who had a perfect 7-0 record.

(Date - Opponent - Result - Final Score - SIU FCS Ranking) Oct. 25, 2014 - No. 24 Indiana State - L - 41-26 - No. 19 No. 19 SIU fell to No. 24 Indiana State in a game that coach Dale Lennon said the team was its own worst enemy. The Sycamores used a quick start, scoring 14 points on the first six offensive plays of the game, en route to a 41-26 win.

Note: Ryan West replaced Mark Iannotti under center, which started a quarterback battle which lasted the rest of the season.

Oct. 19, 2013 - North Dakota State - L - 31-10 - NR The No. 1 Football Championship Subdivision team visited Carbondale for the Salukis’ homecoming and used three third quarter touchdowns to spoil the Dawgs’ reunion. The Salukis sniffed the upset, leading 10-0 in the second quarter, but the Bison scored 31 unanswered points.

Note: The Salukis attempted to beat a top-10 team for the third straight week after beating No. 4 Northern Iowa and No. 7 South Dakota State in the previous two weeks.

Oct. 13, 2012 - Northern Iowa - W - 34-31 - NR The Salukis ate up more than nine minutes of the fourth quarter with a 19-play drive ended by a game-winning 24-yard field goal by Austin Johnson to put the Salukis ahead for good, 34-31.

Note: Linebacker Bryan Presume set a school record with a 100-yard fumble return for a touchdown Oct. 15, 2011 - Youngstown State - L - 35-23 - NR The Dawgs pounced on the Penguins in the first half, jumping out to a 17-7 lead, but Youngstown scored on its first two possessions of the second half to take a 21-17 lead. Youngstown outgained SIU 464-248 in total yardage en route to a 12-point victory.

Note: The Salukis had won their homecoming game the previous 10 seasons before the loss to Youngstown State. In those games, SIU outscored its opponents 395-254.

Oct. 9, 2010 - Northern Iowa - W - 45-38 (OT) - No. 21 Quarterback Chris Dieker led No. 21 SIU to overtime with a three-yard touchdown run with more than a minute left in regulation. He then found receiver Jeff Evans in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown in overtime against No. 15 Northern Iowa.

Note: This was SIU’s 13th straight win at home against Missouri Valley Football Conference opponents and its 10th-straight homecoming victory.

Oct. 10, 2009 - Illinois State - W - 43-23 - No. 6 SIU rattled off 613 total yards on offense — the fourth most in school history at the time.

Note: Running Back Deji Karim led the team with 273 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including one for 93 yards.

Oct. 11, 2008 - Indiana State - W - 60-7 - No. 15 SIU started its dominating win early with a 60-yard touchdown from Dieker to receiver Damian Sherman on the first play from scrimmage. Ten different Salukis scored in the game.

Note: This was the Sycamore’s 20th-straight loss, giving them the nation’s longest losing streak in any division.

Oct. 6, 2007 - No. 10 Youngstown State - W - 24-17 - No. 6 A top-10 matchup resulted in No. 6 SIU rattling off a homecoming win against No. 10 Youngstown State. Karim rushed the game-winning touchdown with 1:50 left after quarterback, and current co-offensive coordinator, Nick Hill made two big completions to keep the game-winning drive alive.

Note: This was coach Kill’s final homecoming game at SIU, finishing his career 7-0 in homecoming games.

Oct. 7, 2006 - Western Illinois - W - 31-24 - No. 9 The Salukis relied on the run game, picking up 466 yards rushing, en route to SIU’s fifth-straight win against WIU. Running back Arkee Whitlock rushed for 216 yards and three touchdowns.

Note: With the homecoming win, the Salukis got back to .500, 22-22, in homecoming games dating back to 1963.

Oct. 1, 2005 - Missouri State - W - 30-23 (OT) - No. 2 The Saluki defense came up big twice in the final minutes of the game. With 15 seconds left in regulation it stopped the Bears’ offense on its own three-yard line.

Missouri State settled for a game-tying field goal. The Saluki defense then stopped the Bears on fourth-and-goal at the one in overtime, securing a 30-23 win.

Note: Quarterback Joel Sambursky threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the game, including a 12-yard go-ahead touchdown to fullback J.T. Wise in overtime.

Jordan Duncan | @jordanduncanDE Emma Moburg-Jones, owner of CrossFit So Ill, performs row exercises between classes outside. She said she brings the Concept 2 rowing machine outside when the weather is nice. “Rowing just makes you better at everything. I mean your cardio-vascular is going, you’re working your legs, your arms, your back and you can do it in a relaxing manner,” Moburg-Jones said. She said CrossFit blends together strength and cardio training in burst workouts. “One of the biggest misunderstandings is you have to be in shape to do CrossFit. That’s the thing I hear most but it’s for all fitness levels.”

Mike Krzyzewski to step down as national team coach after 2016 Olympics LAURA KEELEY THE NEWS & OBSERVER

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will step down from his position as the head coach of U.S. men’s national team after the 2016 Olympics, according to an interview he gave to ESPN’s Andy Katz.

“It is. It definitely is,’’ Krzyzewski told ESPN about this being his last stint as head coach with USA Basketball. “I think it’s time to move ahead.”

This is not the first time Krzyzewski, 68, has made a pledge to step away from his head coaching position with USA Basketball. After winning gold at the 2012 Olympic games in London, Krzyzewski returned to the Raleigh-Durham airport and said he was done, but he changed his mind in 2013. This time, the plan is to announce his successor before the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games next summer.

“I think it would be good if somebody had experience in international basketball,” Krzyzewski told ESPN. “They will pick the best person, from whatever — the NBA or collegiate environment. They will pick the best person and complement that person with a great staff and infrastructure so we can have a chance to keep winning.’’

Corey Lowenstein | Raleigh News & Observer Duke University’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, center, was officially named the next Team USA Men’s coach during a press conference at Duke University’s Cameron Indoor Stadium on May 23, 2013. Also with him is the school’s President Richard Broadhead, left, and Director of Athletics Kevin White, right. He will coach the American team in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Krzyzewski would like to stay involved in USA Basketball in a non-coaching capacity, he said.

In the 10 years he has served as the national team’s head coach, Krzyzewski has a record of 75-1, winning gold in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London. The team’s only loss came to Greece in the semifinals of the 2006 FIBA World Championship.

Krzyzewski led the team to the 2010 world championship and the 2014 World Cup as well.

During his tenure, the NBA’s best players have returned to the national team, as opposed to skipping out on international competitions.

“Hopefully we can finish things up well with Rio, and I would move onto something else with USA Basketball,” Krzyzewski told ESPN. “But I think we’re ready as an organization to do that, and I’m excited about the future because [of ] what we’ve done over the last 10 years.”
