Illinois voters approve two new amendments Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Two new amendments to the Illinois Constitution were passed Tuesday with overwhelming support. Both measures had more than 70 percent of votes in approval, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The first amendment will update the law of crime victim’s rights, which were passed in 1992, and make them part of the Constitution.

The amendment provides victims with protection from harassment, intimidation and

abuse during trial. Victims will be allowed “to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing,” according to a pamphlet issued by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.

Jennifer Brobst, assistant professor of law, said the amendment was partially based off of “Marsy’s Law” in California, which stems from the death of Marsy Nicholas, who was stalked and murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 1983.

Nicholas’s mother and brother ran into the killer at a grocery store, unaware he was free on bail during the trial.

Brobst said the new amendment is somewhat insubstantial because there is no definite answer if victims or their families have the right to their own attorney during trials. Without this stipulation, no one would ensure the law is being followed. Marsy’s Law also gives victims the right to be informed if the defendant appeals his or her sentencing, while the Illinois amendment does not.

Senior Saluki linebacker Victor Burnett was arrested Saturday by the Carbondale Police Department on charges of possession of nearly 700 grams of cannabis, intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court records acquired Wednesday by the Daily Egyptian.

The cannabis, paraphernalia and $937 were all taken as evidence, according to the sworn statement of probable cause by CPD Officer Jeramie Stewart.

Burnett was suspended Tuesday from the SIU football team for a violation of team rules. SIU Athletic Director Mario Moccia would not specify if this is the reason Burnett was suspended, but did say the player is suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.

According to the statement, CPD responded to a possible home invasion in progress at 800 E. Grand Apt. 29A about 12:20 a.m. Saturday, where Burnett and senior cornerback Suggs both reside.

A witness told CPD she saw someone enter the front of the residence through a broken window.

Police entered the residence and found no one inside.

During the search, Sgt. Jarin Dunnigan observed two zip-lock bags of cannabis and the grinder in plain view in a bedroom, according to the statement.

Burnett and Suggs were notified their apartment was burglarized and returned to the residence.

According to the statement, Burnett told police nothing was missing.

The door to Suggs’ room was forced open, and according to the statement, Suggs told Carbondale police $500 and an ounce of cannabis was missing.

Carbondale police found two digital scales closely associated with the sale and distribution of narcotics in the residence, according to the statement.

Burnett’s room contained four vacuum-sealed bags of cannabis and $797. $140 was later found on Burnett and was seized.

The statement of probable cause reports Burnett was approached by someone who offered him an ultimatum. The ultimatum was Burnett would hold a package until it was picked up or he would no longer be able to play football for SIU or sell his clothing line, according to the statement. Three packages of cannabis were delivered to Burnett on three separate occasions.

“On the final occasion, [Burnett] decided to start selling the cannabis in hopes that he could make a profit and stop them from delivering more packages,” according to the statement.

According to the statement, Burnett said the packages belonged to an individual named Shakey, someone he never met.

Fireball recalled, ingredients remain safe Discrepancy in U.S. and Europe regulations to blame for recall Marissa Novel

@MarissaNovelDE | Daily Egyptian

Fireball Whisky, a liqueur which has had an increase in U.S. sales from $1.6 million to $61 million since 2011, was recalled in three European countries about a week ago because of a difference in regulations of an ingredient used to make automotive antifreeze.

Norway, Sweden and Finland recalled the cinnamon-flavored whiskey after receiving a shipment meant for North America that had higher levels of propylene glycol than European regulations allow.

Matt McCarroll, director of the Fermentation Science Institute at SIU, said propylene glycol, a colorless additive found in many food products, can be used as an antifreeze as opposed to

ethylene glycol, a poisonous substance.

“The term antifreeze, from a scientific perspective, just means that it lowers the freezing point of the solvent,” he said. “What we think as antifreeze for automobiles is ethylene glycol, which is terribly toxic to mammals.”

McCaroll said the brewing industry uses propylene glycol as a coolant during fermentation because it is safe to add to food.

McCarroll said Fireball likely uses propylene glycol to stabilize cinnamon oil.

“Philosophically, I would rather use a natural extract,” he said. “But when you get into food science, there’s a lot of additional costs and it’s really hard to make a consistent product that way.”

McCarroll said consumers buying products from bigger companies tend to look for dependable taste. But the problem of products made from solvents found in nature is that they

tend to be more variable.

He also said propylene glycol is not a major health concern.

“It’s one of the things in my lab that I don’t worry about my students poisoning themselves with,” McCarroll said.

Sazerac, the company that produces Fireball, said in a press release the ingredient is common in thousands of foods including ice cream.

An article published in the journal, Critical Reviews in Toxicology in April, 2013 also found that the ingredient proposes a very low risk to human health.

Sazerac said the European recipe is made to comply with its regulations of the ingredient.

European regulations allow one-eighth the amount of propylene glycol that the Food and Drug Administration permits.

Sazerac said both formulas are safe for Please see FIREBALL · 2

“The constitutional amendment change is positive, but is still relatively weak,” Brobst said. “It’s no Marsy’s Law, but it is a step in the right direction. It’s all well and good to have rights, but what’s the point if you can’t enforce it?”

The second amendment prevents any voting restrictions based on gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Under the new amendment, voters will be protected from discrimination through voter identification laws.

John Jackson, visiting professor at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said 24 states have enacted restrictions on voting times and require specific identification to vote. Illinois does not require photo identification to vote.

Jackson said proponents of the amendment argue the voter identification laws are designed to suppress minorities from voting because they are less likely to

have the necessary identification.

In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which mandated nine states with discriminatory pasts had to receive approval from the federal government before enacting new voting laws, was unconstitutional.

One of those nine states, Texas, passed new voter legislation earlier this year. In October, the Supreme Court voted to not block Texas’ new law, making the new legislation official for this week’s elections.

Texas now requires either a Texas Department of Public Safetyissued driver’s license, Texas Election Identification Certificate, concealed handgun license, military identification card with a photograph or a citizenship certificate with photograph or passport to vote, according to the votetexas.gov website.

A federal law is also in the works, titled the Voting Rights Amendment

Act of 2014. The law is similar to the new Illinois amendment, which was introduced in January 2014 by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner.

Jackson said these amendments may not change Illinois in the immediate future, but will have more importance in time.

“These were an attempt to put into constitutional language what is already law,” Jackson said.

Edward Dawson, assistant professor of law, said the constitution is designed to be tough to amend. A three-fifths supermajority is required in legislature before citizens can vote on the amendment.

“The reason it’s harder is because the Constitution is higher law,” Dawson said.

“It sets up the structure of government.

It protects the most important rights and values, so the idea is you make it harder to amend the constitution than it is to pass a regular statute. You’re writing into the Constitution certain values that you don’t want to let even a majority overturn. “

Martin said his drink of choice is beer that does not contain genetically modified wheat, but said it is difficult to pay for because of his budget.

“It’s hard to afford good beer on a college budget so most of the time I’m stuck drinking something that tends to go against what I stand for,” he said.

Jared Ryan, 26 of Carbondale, said he is not worried about the recall.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal at all,” he said. “It was recalled because of stricter standards in the European Union, not because of any new or existing known health risks of the actual product.”

According to the statement, Suggs said he assisted Burnett in the sale of cannabis to prevent anything from happening to him. Suggs is not currently suspended from the team and does not face criminal charges.

“We’re trying to gather some more information about that,” Moccia said. “We’re aware of the report, but we’re trying to get more information.”

Burnett is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 13.

SIU Asian carp research continues Jill Moon

The Telegraph

A Southern Illinois University Carbondale postdoctoral fellow, a professor and their colleagues, still are exploring ways to make U.S. wildcaught Asian carp freshly available to Asian consumers, who consider the fish a delicacy.

Among the goals of SIU fellow Marybeth K. Brey, 33, with the university’s Center for Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences and its Interim Vice Chancellor of Research Jim Garvey, who also is the interim dean of the graduate school and professor of fisheries, is a quest to find answers to shipping whole bodies of dead Asian carp to China while maintaining fish freshness.

Though businesses involved in this realm of commercializing Asian carp have not perfected the concept to the satisfaction of domestic suppliers or Asian consumers, research continues on both sides of the world to make this a desirable reality. For American Heartland Fish Products LLC’s Grafton investors Gray Magee, who is the company’s chief executive officer, Ben Allen and Bryon LeBeau, shipping whole, flashfrozen Asian carp turned out to be less economically viable due to high export/ import costs and the lack of ability to ensure freshness of the fish that according to U.S. federal regulation must be shipped dead.

Thus, American Heartland produces fish meal, bone meal and Omega 3 fish oil instead, which they learned were in shortage globally and highly traded worldwide commodities.

“We’re not necessarily looking at different approaches of meal, oil, whole fish, which are being shipped from Kentucky, it’s all been done. But a big problem everyone is having is with exports because the cost for exporting is very high, and importing into China, with tariffs, are just too high to make a profit,” Brey said about her and U.S. interests in the problem.

The existing issue of keeping whole invasive fish on ice, flash-frozen and fresh enough upon arrival still must be perfected, but she said she thinks the export costs are more prohibitive at this point.

“We are looking at how we relate this information to both U.S. and Chinese governments to make this an affordable process for everybody,” she said. “It might be more of a logistics conversation, than doing something different. We in the U.S. don’t eat enough fish overall in numbers we need to fish down such a population, so maybe it’s good to send them to China and how can we make this happen in terms of fishing the rivers, and/or processing them or freezing them and shipping.”

Brey described U.S. inland waterways as “a very pristine environment compared to the Yangtze River,” which is overwhelmingly polluted and overfished. Yet, the majority of Asian fish consumers are used to buying fresh fish at open markets, which makes marketing flash-frozen fish a challenge. The use of sarimi, which is a fish product used to make imitation crab meat, has been considered to market Asian carp into food items, such as fish balls, which are common Asian consumer food products.

Upcoming guitar festival aims to increase appreciation Chase Myers

@ChaseMyers_DE | Daily Egyptian

Unused guitars have become a common thing in modern day households.

A remnant of inspiration someone once had to either shred in a band, or play soulful melodies for large crowds, reduced to a dust collector. People often take the beauty that comes with the instrument and the sounds it makes for granted, especially with an increase in pop music that doesn’t require live instrumentation.

Guitar professor Isaac Lausell has teamed up with the School of Music and several featured artists to bring back some appreciation for the instrument with a festival specifically for guitar, the SIU Guitar Festival 2014.

Lausell, artistic director of the festival, organized the event in order to bring attention to the guitar program and continue the classical guitar tradition originated by his predecessor Joseph Breznikar.

“There is little awareness of what goes on in the guitar program here,” Lausell said. “We bring guest artists in to perform, they do master classes and it’s opening up a lot and I thought the festival would be a good way to actually showcase what’s going on.”

The festival will feature Armondo Nuñez-Portillo, a jazz professor from the University of Chihuahua in Mexico and a colleague of Lausell. The two met around 14 years ago when they attended North Texas State together, completing master’s degrees in jazz studies.

“Even back then he was a formidable player,” he said. “We recently, over the Internet … came in touch again and I had heard some things from friends I had in Mexico, and he’s become a strong voice for jazz performance and jazz education in Latin America.”

Nuñez-Portillo has quite a lot of influence form Latin culture in his music, while also bringing in some

modern voice that reminds Lausell of current players, he said.

Other featured performers include Persian guitarist Ali Behjatian Esfahani, jazz guitarist Jose Guzman, flutist and assistant director of the School of Music Dr. Douglas Worthen, master’s student Marcus De Jesus, various guitar ensembles and the guitar orchestra.

Lausell will also be playing along with Nuñez-Portillo and Worthen.

Master’s student Marcus De Jesus also agrees that this festival is a great contribution from the School of Music to raise appreciation for the instrument.

“From my experience in playing guitar, people still don’t know what the guitar is able to do,” De Jesus said. “If you go to a classical, you’ll hear a lot of music that sounds like piano playing … and there’s always someone that comes [after] and says ‘wow, that sounded a lot like piano’ or ‘I didn’t know the guitar could do all this.’”

De Jesus’ performance will focus on the Brazilian style of guitar, which differs from the American popular style, because it includes lots of classical guitar technique but is similar in that it takes different influences from different areas, he said.

He will also be playing first chair in the guitar orchestra.

Another performer who plays a unique role in the festival is flutist Douglas Worthen, who will be collaborating with Lausell during the Friday recital.

“Flute and guitar has always been a popular combination,” Worthen said. “One of the things I particularly enjoy is that the flute doesn’t have to be played loudly and we can be comfortably heard with the guitar.”

The difference in the two instruments is also what makes them work so well together, he said.

“The flute is a sustaining instrument and guitar is such a contrast of being a plucked

instrument, so you hear that precise sound of the strings being struck,” he said. “It gives us a lot of opportunities for contrast.”

Other than flute and acoustic guitar, the festival will also feature electric guitar during different performances.

Worthen also agrees that the program is beneficial to the School of Music, as well as those attending.

“I think the more opportunities that we have like this to present programs with a broad appeal to a lot of different types of students at SIU with different interests … tend to be really well attended and we are looking forward to a big audience.”

The following are the scheduled times of the events according to the SIU School of Music’s webpage: Friday, November 7th Located in the Old Baptist Foundation Noon – Check-in 12:45 p.m. – Orientation – Dr. Lausell 1 p.m. – Jose Guzman’s Jazz Trio (recital) 2 p.m. – 2:50 p.m. – Brazilian Guitar Fundamentals – Marcus De Jesus 3 p.m. – 3:50 p.m. – Jazz Guitar Chords – Jose Guzman 7:30 p.m. – Flute and Guitar Recital – Dr. Douglas Worthen (flute) & Dr. Isaac Lausell (guitar) Saturday, November 8th Located at Altgeld Hall 9:00 a.m. – 9:50 a.m. – Overview of the Persian Setar – Ali Behjatan (room 110) 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. – Classical Guitar Master Class (room 110) 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. – Jazz Guitar Master Class – Professor Armando Nuñez-Portillo (room 112) 3:15 p.m. – 4:20 p.m. – SIU Guitar Ensemble Concert (room 110) 7:30 p.m. – Armando NuñezPortillo (jazz guitar) Concert (room 112)

Freshman punter stands out Brent Meske

@BrentMeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

Punters can often be overlooked, but SIU’s punter should not have the same fate.

Redshirt freshman Nick Neidig has been the go-to punter this year and has taken all but one punt this season.

Special teams coach Keith Murphy said even though Neidig is young, he has all the physical tools of a successful punter.

“He has a long, lean punter’s body that you like to see,” he said. “His number one thing is the physical attributes, but the number two thing is his preparation. You see him in warm ups and pre-practice, he’s always focused and never sidetracked.”

Neidig has the No. 6 average punt length in the MVC this season. He averages 40 yards on every punt, which is not much less than the Misssouri Valley Conference leader, junior Ben LeCompte of North Dakota State, who averages 43.1 yards.

He has also landed 11 punts inside the 20-yard line and has five punts of more than 50 yards.

Although Neidig has been impressive this season, there is still room to grow. He

said he has not reached his potential, but it will come with experience.

Murphy said Neidig is very impressive for a freshman and his work ethic is allows him to improve.

“I need to learn to stay in a flow,” he said. “I’ve had some good games this year, but I need to learn to be more consistent.”

Neidig’s best game of the year came Sep. 27 in a 34-17 victory against Western Illinois.

Junior Derek Matthewson took the first punt of the game, his only punt of the year.

“Nick was being a little too methodical, and Derek had earned his shot,” Murphy said. “We wanted to see if Nick would respond, and he did.”

Neidig came into the game and with his next punt he recorded a season-high 75-yard punt. He took three more punts in the game for 37, 43 and 52 yards.

The 75-yard punt is the fifth-longest punt in the country this season.

Neidig said he did not have a good week in practice, and being pulled made him improve his game.

“Being pulled for a punt made me realize that I have to step it up, so that

kind of helped me,” he said.

Murphy said specialists tend to get comfortable once they have earned a starting position. He and head coach Dale Lennon wanted to break Neidig of that.

Neidig came to SIU after a successful punting career at North Posey High School in Indiana. He was a 2012 AllState selection by the Associated Press and was named Indiana’s top punter by the Indianapolis Star.

Neidig said he has improved a lot since high school both mentally and physically.

“I’ve put a lot of work in through the offseason, and a lot of coaches and teammates here have helped me out,” he said.

Murphy said Neidig has improved since the spring.

“It shows how hard he worked on his own over the summer,” he said. “He earned the job. For that, mentally, for a freshman, that is pretty impressive.”

Austin Flyger, defensive line coach, said he was put in charge of recruiting Neidig.

The Salukis named Ryan West the starting quarterback for the game against Missouri State Saturday; a mustwin if the team wants to keep their playoff hopes alive.

West, a sophomore, will take over for junior Mark Iannotti under center.

Head coach Dale Lennon made the announcement in a press conference on Monday, saying West gives the offense the best chance for success.

“Right now, his skill set is what we need,” he said. “We want to do some things offensively that suit Ryan really well. Mark Iannotti is going to be available.”

West relieved Iannotti halfway through a 41-26 loss to Indiana State on Oct. 25. West came in just before halftime and finished the game 2134 with 195 yards, 1 interception and 2 touchdowns.

Lennon said the team is fortunate West has experience and knows how to prepare for games.

West has played in three games this season, throwing 28 completions for 276 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

He started four games last season, taking over for starter Kory Faulkner, who injured his hand in the Homecoming game against North Dakota State.

West played seven games in 2013, with 63 completions on 127 attempts for 675 yards and 6 touchdowns.

West said he doesn’t know what the rest of the season will hold for him.

“None of the coaches really gave me an insight as to whether or not this was a one time thing to see how I do, or if it’s a whole season thing,” he said. “I’m going to start this game and hopefully do a good job and we’ll go with what the coaches decide.”

West said he thinks the team needed a spark against Indiana State and he thought the offense moved the ball well in the second half.

Iannotti was pulled after throwing 10

completions for 96 yards a touchdown and an interception. He said he was never given a reason why.

“I think it was an accumulation of everything,” he said. “I actually found out from West and he told me, ‘Hey I’m in,’ so that’s how I found out.”

Iannotti has started every game so far this season and led the team to a 5-1 start before going 0-3 the next three games.

In the first six games, Iannotti went 122-191 for 1,458 yards with 13 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

“These past couple weeks, the offense hasn’t been producing like it had in the past, and something has to be the factor,” Iannotti said. “I haven’t been throwing the ball with the confidence I had earlier in the season.”

In the last three games, Iannotti was 40-72 for 391 yards with 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

Going into the game against Missouri State, Iannotti said he thought he gave the team a better option against an opponent that likes to rush the passer.

“I feel I have an advantage of getting out of the pocket if things break down, especially with Missouri State coming up,” Iannotti said. “They like to bring a lot of pressure. I feel like I can get out of the pocket and extend plays, but that has gotten me in a little bit of trouble this season.”

Iannotti is third in net rushing yards for the Salukis this season with 67 yards on 53 attempts.

West said the team should find a way to win the game no matter who is behind center. A fast start to the game will help the team, he said.

“We just need our drive back, our killer instinct,” he said. “We have to come out ready to go, we can’t come out flat in the first half. When we’re playing well we came out with a fast start. If we get that back, it’ll set us in the right direction.”

SIU will come off of its bye week at 2 p.m. on Saturday against Missouri State.

The Salukis won five games last season.

Injuries depleted the roster as four players were forced to redshirt.

Freshman guard Kiley Gorski, sophomore guard Rishonda Napier, junior guard Cartaesha Macklin and senior center Alexus Patterson all sat out most or all of last year for various reasons.

Their absences allowed other members of the team to see the floor more than they would have otherwise.

Gorski suffered a career-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury before the season started, but Napier, Macklin and Patterson are all back to create competition amongst the Salukis.

“It’s absolutely outstanding,” said head coach Cindy Stein. “Kids can fall behind,

and this is a really competitive group. If they fall behind, sometimes it’s tough to come back. Plus, it gives us so much more depth, and I think depth is always a key to winning championships.”

Macklin led the team with 15.0 points per game in 2012-13 and was named honorable mention All-Missouri Valley Conference for the second year in a row.

Macklin was the MVC Freshman of the Year in 2011-12.

Patterson was named to the MVC AllFreshman team in 2011-12 after leading the team in rebounding.

Napier ranked second on the team with 11.3 points per game as a freshman in 2012-13, and was named to the MVC All-Freshman team.

Napier is excited to be back on the court. After playing five games

last year, she redshirted because of a digestive tract disorder.

“It’s great to be back in action,” Napier said. “Just to experience the momentum and the thrill again is awesome.”

With those three players back, junior forward Dyana Pierre said this year will be much better than last.

“I think we’re going to do great,” Pierre said. “We’re expecting big things.

Coach is pushing us hard. We’re ready to see how we do.”

Pierre was a bright spot in a down season for SIU last year. She led the MVC in rebounding and doubledoubles while becoming the first Saluki to be named First Team AllConference in seven years.

Pierre also led the team in scoring, blocks, free throws, field goal percentage

and minutes played. She was named to this season’s MVC Preseason AllConference team.

The Saluki frontcourt goes deeper than just Pierre. Azia Washington was second in scoring and rebounding last season for SIU. Stein said sophomore Kim Nebo and freshman Celina VanHyfte have also been impressive in practice.

Another positive for the 2013-2014 Salukis was the emergence of walk-on junior guard Hannah Shores. Shores led the team in assists as a sophomore after getting a shot to play once Napier and Macklin were out for the season.

After receiving an athletic scholarship this fall, the versatile Shores will contribute to the depth of the Saluki backcourt.

“The great thing about Hannah is that she’s got a year’s experience, so she knows

any position,” Stein said. “She can play the point guard, and she can play the off guard. She’ll add depth to those positions.

I think she challenges [Macklin and Napier] on a daily basis.”

The Salukis’ schedule does not include any schools receiving votes in the Associated Press preseason poll.

SIU’s non-conference schedule includes Memphis and Illinois at home, and a trip to New Orleans to face Oregon State and Toledo. The Salukis will begin MVC play Jan. 4 at Illinois State.

SIU will open the season Friday with an exhibition game against NCAA Division II opponent Quincy University.
