Three arrested during South Ash Street incident Luke Nozicka Daily Egyptian

Three people, two of whom are SIU students, were arrested after police broke up an Unofficial Halloween house party about 12 a.m. Sunday when 200 people met on the lawn of 408 S. Ash Street where a car was flipped by partiers.

Zachary Justus, 19, a freshman studying marketing, was arrested for disorderly conduct and was released, according to the Carbondale Police Department’s news

release Monday. Corey Albrecht, 18, a freshman studying engineering, was arrested for underage possession or consumption of alcohol, aggravated assault and reckless conduct, according to the release. Albrecht was released after posting bond.

Both Justus and Albrecht have been emailed for comment.

While witnesses say an SIU student and a woman were pepper sprayed during the incident, the department’s press release said no pepper spray was used by CPD officers.

“There was no use of force used by the Carbondale Police,” Sgt. Corey Kemp wrote in an email when asked if the department used other forms of irritant.

The Illinois State Police, SIU Department of Public Safety and the Jackson County Sherriff’s Office assisted CPD, according to the release.

Dylan Coler, a freshman from McHenry studying mechanical engineering, said he was maced.

Tree-killing beetle Big pink volleyball served for breast cancer discovered in southern Illinois Muriel Berry Daily Egyptian

The Emerald Ash borer, an invasive species of beetle responsible for the deaths of more than 250 million ash trees throughout the U.S., has been discovered in Perry and Williamson counties.

The beetle is native to Asia and eastern Russia, but was first found destructive in the U.S. in 2002 in Detroit. The Illinois Department of Agriculture detected the insect in Perry and Williamson counties thriving in local trees by setting traps for the bug.

While the borer poses no threat to humans, it could have a devastating effect on agriculture in southern Illinois, and even at SIU. Daniel Nickrent, professor of plant molecular systematics and evolution, said there is a significant ash tree population on campus.

“There are at least four species of native ash,” he said. “In terms of ash tree, SIU hired a tree survey of campus a few years ago, [the survey] recorded [more than] 200 ash trees.”

There is a possibility borers could end up on campus because ash trees are a natural habitat for it.

Benjamin Snyder, district forester at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said a borer population in rural woods could lead to a decrease in wood product sales, aesthetics and diversity.

The beetle can also cause problems for urban communities where ash trees are commonly used for décor or shade.

“The United States Forest Service estimated that the impact on the urban landscape is 0.5-2 percent loss of total leaf area at a cost of $20 billion to $60 billion,” he said. “Costs in urban areas are from removal and replacement of dead and dying trees, as well as planning.”

William Eshbaugh, professor emeritus of botany, said there is a chemical called “Treeage” that can be used to treat the infested trees and kill the insect. Although this insecticide costs around $700 per liter, it enables the ash trees to live an additional two years before another treatment is needed.

Nickrent said other colleges such as Miami University in Oxford, Ohio had already seen the negative effects of the borer.

“Many mature ash trees are being cut down because they have been completely killed by the beetle,” he said. “Unfortunately, I think our campus will be experiencing the same thing as MU as the EAB moves south.”

It’s a bird, it’s a plane. It’s a giant pink volleyball flying through the air.

Thirteen teams of six people took to the courts to find out who could handle the 4 foot diameter ball, all in the name of charity for the Inaugural Big Pink Volleyball Tournament.

Shane Bennett, assistant director of intramural sports and sport clubs, brought the tournament to SIU this year after creating it at Western Illinois University in 2002. He was a founding member of the Big Pink Volleyball National Network, which has raised more than

$150,000 at 15 universities.

Bennett said he was approached by a group of women at WIU who wanted to create an activity to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Bennett has a close connection to the disease, his mother passed away from breast cancer when he was in junior high. “(This event) hits closer to home than other events,” he said.

Brittany Minnich and Nikki Bordeur, two Recreation Center staff members, worked with local businesses to provide prizes for a raffle.

Minnich, a sophomore from Tinley Park studying therapeutic recreation, said more than

eight businesses agreed to help with the raffle.

Brodeur, a junior from Chicago studying business management, said the event is a great way to give back to the community.

The Recreation Center partnered with the Residence Hall Association to sponsor the event.

The RHA passed out fliers for the event and donated pink cupcakes for competitors.

Michaela Lydon, a sophomore from Houston studying mechanical engineering and director of recruitment for RHA, said she hopes the tournament will push students to get involved with cancer research.

Chicago high school students visit art facilities Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

The art of glass blowing dates back to the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt.

Today, Salukis and high school students alike are using it to increase opportunities for their futures.

Ten high school students from Chicago toured art and design facilities, and watched a demonstration by graduate and undergraduate glass blowing students on campus Friday and Saturday.

The students were from Little Black Pearl Art and Design Academy, a school on the south side of Chicago thats offers several in-depth, fine and visual art programs to less than 200 students ages 13 to 19.

Jiyong Lee, associate professor and head of the glass program, led the tour and said he organized the trip with Tracy Kirchmann, Little Black Pearl’s

Chris Wiley, a freshman visiting from Northern Illinois University, said he spoke with a woman who said she was pepper sprayed.

“There’s this girl who’s just crying.

We’re like, ‘What’s wrong? Are you okay?’ She’s saying how she’s been pepper sprayed in the face,” he said. “She was pepper sprayed in the face over nothing.

This girl was no anarchist.”

Members of the crowd threw rocks, bottles and full beer cans in the direction of officers, and a bottle, according to CPD’s press release, struck one officer. The news release says the officer was not injured.

Clinton Farr, a 19-year-old freshman

art director and SIU alumna, last November.

Lee said SIU and Illinois State University are the only schools in Illinois, out of the 20 nationwide, with glass blowing degree programs.

“I think it’s really great to have the students come see the campus,” he said.

“We have a large School of Art and Design facility so they can see a lot going on around our school.”

Kirchmann said Little Black Pearl serves at-risk youth, or children from impoverished neighborhoods coping with gun and gang-related violence.

“It’s not a choice for these kids, it’s what they have to do,” she said. “When I was in high school, you could kind of choose to be in a gang. Now you can just get shot on the south side of Chicago [because of] your address.”

Kirchmann said the academy began as a nonprofit, after school program before

it became a public school in 2011. She said the school provides all core subjects as well as specialized programs ranging from music production to woodshop.

Kirchmann said the school has three recording studios and computer labs in its Teen Tech Center, a technology studio sponsored by Best Buy. “A lot of my students have come from places that didn’t even have computers or libraries,” she said. “Our school is formulated to provide twice as much of those resources as normal, to try to re-enchant them with learning, and the world through the arts.”

The mission seems to resonate with the students, as many of them have aspirations for higher education.

Lateefah Williams, a senior, said she started glass blowing at the academy last year. She said she has applied to a few colleges and is working on finding scholarships.

“This is one of my top choices,” she said. “This is the first college I’ve actually visited and I really like it.”

Some of the visiting students said they were impressed with SIU facilities.

Kirchmann said the university’s interdisciplinary art programs helped her develop diverse skills she continues to use today.

“I run the glass studio completely by myself at the school,” she said. “I’m the shop tech, I’m the instructor, I also manage the other facilities in the building and I wouldn’t know how to do that if I hadn’t taken metals classes here.”

Kirchmann said students were chosen for the trip based on high academic performance.

Devonta Smith, a senior, said he is interested in rapping, singing and playing piano, and decided to attend Little Black Pearl because of its recording studios.

“It’s a good opportunity because at my old school the teachers seemed like they didn’t care, but these teachers interact way more with the students,” he said.

Smith said he has not decided which university he will attend in the fall.

“I was thinking about going to Iowa State University, but when I went there it seemed kind of boring,” he said. “But I’d rather come here. It seems like they have everything I want to do.”

Rozzie Cribbs, a junior, said he is interested in graphic design. He said his teachers have been helping him build his portfolio and find freelance work.

“I was thinking about going to the Art Institute of Chicago, or the American Academy of Art but after coming here I might decide to go here,” he said.

Lee and Kirchmann have preliminarily talked about students visiting SIU next year.

visiting from Lindenwood University in Belleville, said people were throwing beer bottles at officers after a vehicle was flipped on the street.

“During the retrieval process, the vehicle inadvertently became disengaged from the tow truck cable and damaged a second, parked vehicle, which prolonged the removal process and extended the overall time this incident took to resolve,” according to CPD’s release Monday.

Gerald Welch, 30, of Chicago, was arrested for criminal damage to state supported property and was sent to the Jackson County Jail, according to the releas. None of the individuals who overturned the vehicle had been identified by about 4 p.m. Monday when CPD’s release was posted online.

Juniors and seniors who have had breast cancer, or know family members and friends with the disease can apply for the scholarships, which Alongi said she wants to have for the 2015 school year.

She said she has had more than twodozen students tell her their stories and express interest in a scholarship.

“A lot of the time, it was guys that stopped to tell me their story,” she said.

“It’s primarily a female thing, so when males tell their stories, it’s sometimes more touching.”

Alongi has also had her own experiences with the disease, losing two friends before the age of 40.

Spider-Man decided to swing by to find if his web-slinging skills

translated to the volleyball court.

He revealed his identity as James Johnston-Deming, a junior from Metropolis studying animation.

Johnston-Deming said he lost his great-grandmother to the illness and has participated in other charity events, such as Relay for Life.

He said he was surprised by how difficult it was to play with the huge ball.

“It was tougher than I thought,” he said. “It takes a lot more muscle and effort than a normal ball.”

Bennett said he hopes the tournament will grow and become more popular each year. He said his plan is to have more teams, so there will be a week-long tournament.

“In elementary school, I had three teachers with breast cancer,” said Lydon. “Two of them beat it and one passed away. They were our symbol of hope. Knowing people that have beaten it shows that it’s not just a terminal illness.”

Money raised from the event, totaling nearly $400, goes directly to the Saluki Strength Breast Cancer Fund.

Beth Alongi, assistant director of marketing, has been in charge of the fund. She said the program was founded this year and seeks to create scholarships for students affected by breast cancer.

‘Fury’ is innovative and compelling Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptian

World War II is a widely overused staple of the war film genre.

Hollywood has had its struggles finding new angles to show an important part of human history.

“Fury” (Rated R; 134 min) finds a unique way to tell the story of the second World War. “Fury” is directed and written

by David Ayer and stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman and Michael Pena.

The year is 1945 and the Allied forces

are well on their way to winning World War II. They out-class the Axis forces in nearly every way possible. The one exception is the tank division.

Staff Sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier, played by Pitt, commands a Sherman tank named “Fury”, its fiveman crew have been together since the North African Campaign. They are now in the end of the European theater, when their assistant driver is killed.

They are given a replacement named Norman Ellison (Lerman). Ellison is a typist only eight weeks into his tour and has never seen the inside of a tank.

He soon learns ideals are peaceful and history is violent.

One reason World War II is portrayed so often is how easy it is to use. It is a war with clearly defined lines between good and bad. The war is not questioned like others. It is easy to glorify the actions of characters by having them fight Nazis.

This is changing. Since “Saving Private Ryan” was released in 1998, movies have taken a different direction. Film stopped romanticizing the war and started showing the horrors of it. Yet, even without this glorification, most of the movies still have heroes.

There are no heroes in this movie.

It is a world full of characters with conflicting emotions, the job of killing people weighing heavily on their

conscious. This is a strong point to Ayers writing in general.

All the men who make up the crew of “Fury” cope with their job in different ways. But this crew seems like a family, even with a new addition. They do not always get along, but they have each other’s backs.

There is no character stronger than Pitt as Don Collier in this film. He could have easily settled back into his role of Lt. Aldo Raine in “Inglorious Basterds”, his accent even bringing back memories of Raine’s southern tones.

However, Collier is not the Hollywood hero that Raine is.

Collier is the authoritative father

figure of the crew. He cares about his men and helps them through their episodic missions emotionally while having dealing with his own struggles.

This film is relentless from beginning to end. It opens up on death and it never stops. It is always quick but brutal. It becomes the status quo, much like real soldier experiences. It happens, and you do your best to move on. The characters you are close to go quickly, and there is no time to mourn.

“Fury” is not a masterpiece. It will not contend for any awards this year, nor will it join the pantheon of classic war movies.

However, it will entertain, compel and captivate, which is all that matters.

J.T. Bandy, owner of Bandy’s Pumpkin Patch, said the pumpkin patch sells up to 1,000 pumpkins per day, with most of its sales coming from the $1 pumpkins when the school groups show up.

“We get about 600 to 700 kids a day coming through here,” Bandy said. The pumpkin patch also features hayrides, a corn maze and a play area for children.

The guest speaker attending the Devil’s Kitchen Literary Festival is not unlike many SIU students. Her resume however, includes being published by the Guardian and Vice, among others.

The 15th-annual festival, hosted by Grassroots magazine, will begin with a reading from Kathleen Hale, an author from New York City, at 8 a.m. Wednesday in the John C. Guyon Auditorium.

Hale is the author of “No One Else Can Have You” and “Nothing Bad is Going to Happen,” as well as non-fiction for magazines. In her works, she delivers quirky quips followed by a sobering dose

of honesty.

Shaylin Carlton, the editor-inchief of Grassroots, the university’s undergraduate literary magazine, said Hale was invited based off faculty adviser Pinckney Benedict’s recommendation.

“It’s a very collective process,” she said.

“This year Pinckney chose Kathleen Hale with a lot of pressure from Grassroots as well because we really wanted to meet her.”

Benedict said Hale was chosen because her age is close to many undergraduate students and younger than most graduate students.

“She speaks the same language that our undergraduate and graduate students speak for instance, in a way that

I and people my age tend not to,” he said.

He said she was also invited because she was briefly a student here and is familiar with the area.

Hale said she has been writing since childhood.

“My first story was about tigers escaping the circus by eating all the clowns,” she said. “People were disturbed.

They still are.”

She said she seeks inspiration in taking risks and often finds herself divulging personal secrets within her stories.

“My aim is always to tell stories that entertain,” she said. “If I can talk about how the Internet cultivates obsession in a way that reads like a horror story, then

I’ve done my job.”

Hale’s work is a recent topic of a blogger and book reviewer debate, after her article “‘Am I being catfished?’

An author confronts her number one online critic” was published to The Guardian’s website Friday.

The story follows Hale as she indulges in the widely discouraged act of reading a nasty review by an infamous Internet bully on her first novel. She then spirals into a 21st century rabbit hole of sorts, stalking the reviewer on multiple social media platforms and eventually in person. Hale finds the reviewer is a “catfish,” or someone portraying a false Internet identity.

Hale said although the situation is difficult, it led to a rewarding moment in her career, being the third most read author on The Guardian two consecutive days.

“This came with its fair share of [criticism] from people who didn’t read the piece and have little-to-no understanding of journalism,” she said.

“So that was hard, but I’m getting used to feedback of all kinds.”

Carlton said the festival is also hosting Steven D. Schroeder and Victoria Redel, the 2014 winners of the Devil’s Kitchen Reading Awards in Poetry and Prose among other visiting authors.

The festival schedule can be found online on Grassroots’ website grassroots.siu.edu.

Agnew family suffers two football setbacks Tony McDaniel Daily Egyptian

Monday was a bad day for the Agnew brothers.

Cleveland Browns’ General Manager Ray Farmer announced the team waived former SIU fullback Ray Agnew Monday.

Several hours later and 580 miles away in Carbondale, SIU

football coach Dale Lennon announced Malcolm Agnew will miss Saturday’s game at his weekly press conference.

Lennon said Malcolm will miss two weeks, but may only miss one game; the Salukis have a bye week after the game against the Sycamores.

Malcolm suffered a foot injury

P hoto Provided by S aluki athleticS Ray Agnew played for the Salukis from 2010 to 2013 and was signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent. Agnew was waved off from the team. NFL teams have 24 hours to claim him off wavers.

in the first half of the Oct. 18 game against Youngstown State.

He was carted off the field and returned later in full pads, but did not re-enter the game.

Lennon said he does not expect Malcolm to miss the remainder of the season.

The loss of Malcolm is a big blow for the Salukis. He is 15th in the Football Championship Subdivision with 820 rushing yards and 11th with 10 touchdowns.

Lennon said the team would use a “committee system” at running back until Malcolm returns.

Senior running back Mika’il McCall and redshirt freshman Cameron Walter will likely take the majority of the carries for SIU until Agnew returns. The two players have combined for 69 carries, 338 yards and 3 scores.

Senior Ken Malcome, who also missed much of the season with an injury, could see some touches for SIU. Malcome had 1 carry for 1 yard in the game against Youngstown State.

Malcome rushed for 277 yards and 5 scores in 2013.

Lennon said senior wide receiver Tay Willis would be included in the running game. Willis rushed for 321 yards in 2013.

“Losing (Malcolm) Agnew is not a good thing,” Lennon said.

“We have tailbacks that can step up and play, and it’s their turn to play.”

As for Ray, NFL teams have 24 hours to claim Agnew off of waivers; otherwise he will become an unrestricted free agent.

The Browns signed fullback Kiero Small from their practice squad to replace Ray. Ray had 2 receptions for 15 yards in six games with the Browns, he also had 2 carries for 2 yards.

He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft

by the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle released Small prior the start of the regular season. The Browns added Small to their practice team on Sept. 2.
