SIU student researching the origins of barbecue CORY RAY | @coryray_de
While many people may say they’re passionate about their favorite foods, Zach Myers is taking that passion one step further by asking just how his favorite food — barbecue — came to be. It all started when Myers, a senior studying history, tried to track where barbecue began for a history of food course. “When I first started, it was more of a, ‘Here’s why Memphis has the best barbecue,’� he said. “Then I realized it was the most biased thing I’ve ever written in my life, so I definitely had to change my questions.� Merriam-Webster defines barbecuing as the act of “roasting or broiling on a rack or revolving spit over or before a source of heat.� A Memphis native, Myers said barbecue has always been influential food in his life and he remembers making rubs with his father. Now, Myers is exploring barbecue’s roots. He uses everything from historical documents to cook books to a text titled “Cornbread Nation 2: The United States of Barbecue.� Barbecue’s origins can’t be traced to one culture, he said; rather, it’s a mix between Native American, African and slave and European practices. “All three of those combine and create the southern phenomenon of barbecue,� Myers said. From there, he said he is seeking to discover how each group impacted barbecue and what that means for regional styles, such as Memphis and Kansas City techniques. “There’s a million different ways to cook a pig,� Myers said. “Everybody’s got their different opinion on how to do it.� That cultural representation is not necessarily apparent in some regions, he said. For instance, Myers said many of Texas’ most well-known barbecue restaurants have white owners. One reason for this is that in the 60’s, Myers said minorities largely found audiences using roadside stands, not brick-and-mortar restaurants. Those stands would later be shut down with stricter FDA laws, he said. But he said black history is intimately connected to the evolution of barbecue. He said Kansas City-style barbecue was a result of the Great Migration, a 20th century mass exodus of African American people from the South to avoid racism and prejudice.
“There’s a million different ways to cook a pig. Everybody’s got their different opinion on how to do it.� - Zach Myers senior
SIU photojournalism professor Mark Dolan is currently traveling across the country to capture and experience barbecue throughout America. He said he’s met barbecuers of multiple ethnicities. “I’ve seen the gambit,� he said. “There’s plenty of diversity out there.� Myers said barbecue been served for hundreds of years in South; in fact, he said President George Washington used to serve barbecue at official political events. Barbecuing stretches back even farther than that, Myers said, appearing in Spanish documents as early as the 1500s when conquistadors saw Native Americans smoking fish over an open pit. While smoking meat is associated with Native American traditions, he said Europeans then began to practice smoking meat by placing it in the ground. He said that practice would later implement slave spices, in turn inspiring Memphis-style dry rubs. “There’s probably all kinds of barbecue joints in Mississippi and Arkansas — backwoods stuff that nobody knows about except the local people,� Dolan said following a stop at SIU after a photoshoot in Memphis. “It’s people that have a pit set up; they’re making it until they sell out, then they shut down.� Myers said he is currently working to enter a masters teaching program, and he said he ultimately wants to become a high school history teacher. “I want to get as much history in my head as I can so that I don’t have to be chained to a textbook,� Myers said. “I can teach from legitimate ideas.� Staff writer Cory Ray can be reached at cray@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @coryray_de.

Art of Sleep exhibit to show work from various campus departments AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeliaBlakely
Starting Friday, members of the campus community will have a chance to see an exhibit they previously could've only dreamed of — an exhibit devoted entirely to sleep. The Art of Sleep showcase will be displayed in the cinema and photography gallery and the front display of the Communications Building from Nov. 10 to Jan. 30. The exhibit will open with an artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 10. It will showcase work from 10 graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty members who come from different departments on campus. Work from the psychology, microbiology, communication studies and cinema and photography departments are involved in the exhibit. Associate professor of cinema and photography Robert Sphar is curating the exhibit, and said it's centered around the psychological, philosophical, literary, medical and aesthetic aspects of sleep. Sphar said his idea for the exhibit came to him after assigning the book "24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep" to incoming freshmen in the cinema and photography program. “It’s all about how capitalism tries to profit from keeping us awake with energy drinks and put us to sleep with sleep aids,” Sphar said. “It’s like your private time that is getting shrunk ... You sleep less and less.” Sleep is a private time, Sphar said, but it is being eaten away by distractions. “Two generations ago, we slept 10 hours, one generation ago it was six hours a night, and now we’re approaching four to five hours a night,” Sphar said, citing the book. This fall, Sphar said he was working with associate professor of microbiology Scott Hamilton-Brehm on a proposed honors class called Creative Critical Thinking: Between Art and Science. “Because I was doing this honors class and this book, I was like ‘Wow! Everyone deals with sleep differently. We need to do an interdisciplinary show,'” Sphar said. Stephanie Clancy Dollinger, an associate professor of brain and cognitive sciences, entered a poster in the exhibit that shows research examining college

students, older adults and patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Dollinger said the message of her work is that sleep is vital for the brain to function and having high quality sleep is becoming a struggle for many people, especially college students. College students' lack of sleep has been found to lead to depression and memory problems, Dollinger said. Brehm’s piece in the exhibit describes his research on sleeping microbes and a collection of rocks. “It might seem that microbiology has no place under sleep,” Brehm said. “But I was thinking of, there are states in which microbes go into states we call sleep states or dormant stages.” His research is on deep subsurface microbes and how they’ve been resting as many as three miles deep underground for eons. Brehm said there is a lot of important information to evaluate with sleeping microbes that could lead researchers to colonize other planets and moons. Planets could be seeded with life if these microbes are planted on meteorites and asteroids, Brehm said. “Life doesn’t have to originate on Earth, it doesn’t have to originate on Mars,” Brehm said. “Other solar systems and other galaxies can become contaminated with life by arriving on a rollercoaster ride of a meteorite landing on another planet.” Gavin Glass, a sophomore from Peoria studying cinema and photography, entered his work showing a series of pictures depicting college students experiencing sleep. The three picture series shows a couple sleeping

in different settings. Glass said he hopes the photos make the viewer question why the two chose to sleep in various places. He said there are two perspectives of sleep: the perspective of the sleeper and the perspective of the person watching the sleeper. “When you mention sleep, do people think of dreams, or do they just think of falling asleep and waking up eight hours later?” Glass said.
Glass said the exhibit will be interesting because the placement of each work can affect the viewer's interpretation of each exhibit. “Everything in the gallery will sort of work together, even though they’ll all be extremely different,” Glass said.

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz Low brass professor Jessica Butler, left, works with masters student Weston Mayer, of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, Tuesday in her office at Altgeld Hall.
Moved by the melody Jessica Butler leaves students on a high note ISABELLE ROGERS @isabellearogers
Jessica Butler has been immersed in music all her life. She grew up in a musical family in Georgia, where she took piano lessons with her siblings. Butler said she followed in the footsteps of her older sister when she first joined her middle school band as a trombone player. Butler is a lecturer in music history and the director of the low brass collective, a musical ensemble made up of SIU students and community members that play trombone, euphonium and tuba. She said she became serious about music when she started taking private lessons in 7th grade. In her junior and senior year in high school she began taking lessons at the University of Georgia and became involved in the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. “I got exposed to a ton of really great music that I never would have been
exposed to otherwise,” Butler said. “From there, I just figured I enjoyed it so much I tried my best to pursue it in my education.” Butler continued playing trombone in her high school band and in 10th grade, met her husband Christopher Butler, who is also a music professor at SIU. “For us, it is the perfect situation,” Christopher Butler said. “ We have a situation where we can both do exactly what we want to do as far as our jobs and our roles, … but the fact that we pursued our own research and interests and passions and the fact that we can both have that here at SIU is pretty serendipitous.” After receiving her master’s and doctorate from the University of Iowa, Butler said she found the “perfect job” here at SIU. “I’ve always liked school and studying and the academic setting,” Butler said. “I figured if I could make a career doing
that, it would be really fun.” A couple of weeks after offered the job at SIU, a position opened for a percussion professor, which her husband applied for as he was finishing his doctorate at the University of Kentucky. Jessica and Christopher Butler have been working at SIU together for four years now and have an 18-month-old son named Clark. “We feel so thankful to be here together doing, honestly, what we absolutely love, and we can’t imagine doing anything else,” Jessica Butler said. "A lot of times we say to each other, ‘I can’t believe we get paid to do this.’” Butler said in her career she has noticed most trombone players are male. She did her doctoral research on a female trombonist named Abbie Conant, who is a well known feminist in the music industry. Conant’s work explores the creative identity of women as well as performing many feminist musical works.

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz Professor of Low Brass Jessica Butler is pictured Tuesday in her office at Altgeld Hall.
“Being a female trombone player, it’s still a little unusual to people because when [people] think of trombone players, they think of a guy,” Butler said. “I’m just enjoying the experience of being a female brass musician.” Butler brings new and different aspects of music and teaching to her students in multiple ways, said sophomore Riley Wagner. Wagner, a computer electrical
engineering major from Danville, has Butler as a professor for low brass collective and said she makes an effort to introduce her students to new music. “We play chamber music but she finds music that’s out of the ordinary, it’s not stuff that everybody has heard a million times,” Wagner said. Though Butler makes an effort to find new music for her students, Wagner said it is not her only aspect
that is refreshing. “I think it’s [inspiring] that she is a younger teacher” Wagner said. “She’s more relatable to students. I think that’s very cool.” Cameron Taylor, a senior music performance major specializing in euphonium, said he believes Butler’s persona is unique. “Her overall personality is just so light hearted and humble that she
just brightens up the room,” Taylor said. “Her personality and teaching style is always very forward and very enlightening.” As Christopher Butler works with his wife, he said he gets to see her see her find harmony among all different aspects of her life. “I think with everything she does, with how she balances becoming a great musician with becoming a great
teacher with being a new mother as well, there is a ton of preparation that goes into it and there’s a lot of work,” Christopher Butler said. “She consistently strives to do the best job in every aspect of her roles. I think that’s what makes her extremely unique.” Staff writer Isabelle Rogers can be reached at irogers@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @isabellearogers.

After Texas shooting, Chicago-area churches seek balance between hospitality and security MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN Chicago Tribune
The Rev. Kurt Hartrich doesn't know what more he can do to keep his parishioners safe. They already must cross two thresholds and pass muster with security guards before they can enter the worship space at St. Peter's in the Loop Catholic Church to pray. Still, some parishioners frown on the idea of a security guard clearing them for worship, even if it's for their own protection. "People say 'You're a church. Why do you have these security people?'" said Hartrich, a Franciscan friar who oversees five Masses every weekday at the downtown church. "We certainly want everybody to feel welcome. ... At the same time, if the security guards really feel it's a possible security risk, they would take care of that." Alarmed by the mass shooting at a small Southern Baptist church in South Texas, Chicago-area congregations of all sizes are trying to find a balance between acting out their mission of providing an open, welcoming environment to those who visit and keeping both newcomers and regulars safe. The same issue has long dogged synagogues, where threats of violence are not uncommon and membership has been in decline. Some churches have already decided to lock their doors more often to prevent vandalism and burglary, and limit access to the homeless. More recently, mosques have faced increasing security concerns. Some church leaders won't openly discuss safety precautions, for fear of scaring away potential members or giving away security
secrets. Others are training ushers and greeters to look for danger signs as soon as cars pull up and park, in hopes of deterring danger before it enters the building. In just the past year, hundreds of congregations have joined a coalition called Secure Church Chicago, a regional working group of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergy and volunteers who want to take a proactive, professional and pastoral approach to church safety. "We don't ever want to create a sense of fear in our congregations," said Mark Lundgren of Oak Brook, a former FBI agent and co-founder of the working group. "Our goal is to create worry-free worship, where someone can literally kneel down, bow their heads, close their eyes and not have to worry about looking over their shoulder." The Rev. Myron McCoy, pastor of First United Methodist Church at Chicago Temple, said that during a regularly scheduled staff meeting on Monday his staff reflected on the Texas shooting in addition to how they handled a troubling visitor to their own congregation the same day. "It is extremely tricky, especially for us being downtown where you can encounter the full range of personalities, including our membership and still wanting to make our members feel safe and take the necessary precautions to make sure they feel safe," McCoy said. At Rogers Park Presbyterian Church, elders had already installed cameras and stepped up security after a rash of burglaries and purse snatchers. But Sunday's shooting prompted them to shut three of the four traditional entrances to the church and limit entry to the main doors at the top of a flight of steps. Cameras and ushers will be trained

on each person climbing those steps, said Elder Franklin Rhodes. Jay Tcath, senior vice president of public affairs for the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, said after renewed threats of anti-Semitism surfaced this past year, 61 Jewish facilities invested about $2.4 million to upgrade security. As threats against mosques, churches and other nonprofits have risen in recent years, the federation has offered plenty of advice. Tcath said there are no shortcuts — houses of worship should consider installing cameras, hiring security and inviting law enforcement to audit their safety measures. But not all congregations and nonprofits are receptive. Some African-American churches and mosques distrust law enforcement, Tcath said. Others simply don't
like the visible reminders that sacred spaces can be targets. "The more they look like an armed fortress, the more offputting it is to potential visitors, clients and would-be members," Tcath said. But the truth is, no space is safe anymore, he said. "Whatever taboos may have existed in American society for decades and decades are also being broken down. There's no universally accepted sacred spaces anymore, including churches," he said. But Lundgren said that's the balance the nearly 400 members of Secure Chicago are trying to find. Its tactics combine the best takeaways from military intelligence, counterterrorism and law enforcement with hospitality and compassion. Unlike other public venues such
as courthouses, schools and sports stadiums, which have installed metal detectors, implemented bag searches and brought in bombtracking dogs and police troops to deter acts of violence, houses of worship have less flexibility when it comes to welcoming and protecting the faithful. A police officer in every pew doesn't exactly inspire a pure focus on God. "A church almost needs to look like a soft target in order to be what it wants to be," Lundgren said. If churches don't adapt to the times, he added, the church's mission will suffer. "Husbands and wives are going to be sitting across the dinner table on Saturday night asking the question 'Should we take our kids to church tomorrow?'" he said. "That threatens the ministry model of every church in America."

On gun control, Mr. President, keep our city's name out of your mouth REX HUPPKE | Chicago Tribune
Asked how America should reckon with its most recent massacre-by-gun, President Donald Trump responded Tuesday with his favorite, National Rifle Association-approved trope: Chicago. The question posed during a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, involved the possibility of "extreme vetting" for people who want to buy guns. "Look at the city with the strongest gun laws in our nation — Chicago," Trump said. "Chicago is a disaster, a total disaster." With all due respect, let me say this: Mr. President, keep the name of our city
out of your lie-spewing mouth. Chicago does not have the "strongest gun laws in our nation." That's a lie. It's not a "misstatement" or a "falsehood." It's a flat-out lie, and a cynical one at that, because it's using the tragic — and, yes, disastrous — number of homicides in Chicago as a cudgel to knock down any talk of sensible gun-law reform. Trump doesn't care about the daily carnage on our city's streets. Remember during the campaign, when he pledged he would solve everything, when he hinted of some magical police officer here who told him he knew just what to do to solve Chicago's decadeslong violence problems?
There's no magical police officer. Trump has done nothing. Trump will do nothing. People here are not his voters, they are merely human cover in his effort to shield America's gun cult from reality. And that reality is this: We have 26 people — children, a pregnant woman, a pastor's daughter — shot dead in a church in Texas by a man who had no business owning any firearms, much less one capable of destroying so many lives so quickly. That reality is what should be addressed. The Air Force failed to enter the shooter's past domestic violence conviction into the National Criminal Information Center database, so he
managed to pass background checks when he bought his guns. A president who gives a damn might answer a question at a news conference by saying we absolutely need to investigate this failure and make sure our system of federal background checks on gun buyers is as close to flawless as it can be. Instead, Trump belted out every line in the NRA playbook: He suggested it was too soon to be talking about such things as gun control; he brought up Chicago to suggest that gun laws don't do any good anyway (this overlooks the well-established fact that most of the guns coming into Chicago are purchased in states with lax gun laws);
and he cited the Texas man who got his own gun and fired on the shooter, saying that if that man "didn't have a gun, instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead." It's the good-guy-with-a-gun line. Undoubtedly, that man who went after the shooter is a hero. But are we supposed to be OK with 26 people killed before the good-guy-with-a-gun savior arrives? (Also, no one is talking about keeping guns out of the hands of good people with clean records.) As far as the "hundreds more dead" goes, Trump has no idea what he's talking about. He's just pulling words out of thin air to gin up a hypothetical that honors the almighty gun.
mass shootings that people across the country were poised immediately to add the Texas incident to the raging debate over gun rights vs. gun control. It's only been a month since Las Vegas, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Second Amendment supporters believe gun ownership is a right and guns protect. The adherents probably heard everything they needed in the incredible early news accounts from Sutherland Springs to justify their position: A church neighbor rushed to the scene with a rifle to engage the shooter, potentially saving lives. The neighbor flagged down a passing driver and they bravely took off after the gunman at 95 mph. Gun control advocates think the country is less safe with a proliferation of guns: Assault rifles, concealed carry permits and permissive laws for firearms and ammunition contribute to the American disease of gun violence. They believe stricter controls would
reduce mass shootings and carnage in Chicago and other cities. Does either side's argument gain sway after Sutherland Springs? We'll see. The Texas rampage apparently grew out of a demonic domestic dispute: The killer had been courtmartialed and sentenced to military prison for assaulting his spouse and child. He received a bad-conduct discharge. He was feuding with his former in-laws and may have targeted the Sutherland Springs church because they attended there. The shooter was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and several handguns. It wasn't clear Monday how he obtained his weapons, but the Air Force said it had failed to notify federal authorities of his conviction, which would have prevented him from purchasing firearms. The Air Force said it would investigate. The Texas killings were incomprehensible, and the circumstances were unique. But
it's not tempting fate to anticipate more mass shootings. There will be more. That requires a response. The country can't accept mass carnage at churches, concerts, schools, workplaces and elsewhere as a fact of life. What to do? Because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the Second Amendment guarantees individuals the right to own guns, bans on specific weapons or other strict measures are not on the horizon. But there are steps Congress can take to reduce the opportunities for armed villains to kill. Among them: Require background checks for every gun purchase, including those at gun shows and transactions between private parties. Limit the capacity of magazine clips to, say, 10 rounds. That would force an assailant to frequently reload or switch weapons, buying time for victims to escape, good Samaritans to overtake him and law
enforcement to arrive. Ban "bump stock" devices that convert semi-automatic rifles into machine gun-like weapons. The Las Vegas shooter used bump stocks. In the wake of that massacre, members of Congress who support gun rights and the National Rifle Association said they were ready to consider a ban on bump stocks, thus heralding a potentially important step in the gun control debate. We haven't heard much about that proposed federal ban since early October. Amid the sadness in south Texas, members of Congress have a promise to keep. Nor is Springfield on the case. In late October, an effort to ban bump stocks and comparable devices died in the Illinois General Assembly. Each mass shooting in America is its own terrible story that can't be undone. The responsible perspective is to use the shock of the moment to take actions that will save lives in the future.
How to help prevent the next gun massacre Chicago Tribune
Mass killings like the one at a south Texas church are acts of extreme violence that defy rational explanation and simple solution. They raise demands for specific steps to be taken to ban horrors that are as indiscriminate as they are depraved. That doesn't make this a time to mourn and shrug. America needs to deal with its propensity for gun violence. Here was another reminder. Tens of thousands of churches across America held worship services Sunday, but it was the First Baptist Church in tiny Sutherland Springs that came under surprise attack by a heavily armed, disgraced Air Force veteran. The 26-year-old man, wearing a ballistic vest and skull face mask, murdered 26 members of the congregation, including children. The shooter was found dead in his vehicle after being chased by two heroic civilians in a truck. America has endured so many

Illinois lawmakers on sexual harassment: Too little, too late BELLEVILLE NEWS-DEMOCRAT
We'll give our state lawmakers this: They're really good at looking out for themselves, as well as waiting for things to reach crisis level before they take action on something. The latest example is the embarrassing sexual harassment scandal in Springfield. Last week, more than 130 people signed onto a letter circulated by women involved in Illinois politics that alleges an epidemic of sexual harassment at the statehouse. Also last week, a lobbyist said she had been sexually harassed by a state senator from Chicago who was working on a bill that she wanted passed. And later in the week, we learned that there is a backlog of 27 ethics complaints that have been filed against state lawmakers or their staffers, though we don't know the nature of those complaints. Those 27 complaints have not been addressed because state lawmakers
have left vacant — for three years — the position of legislative inspector general, who is supposed to investigate such complaints. They can find money and people to fill 75,000 state jobs, but they can't find one person to fill the one position that keeps an eye on the legislators themselves? Not even one of their political buddies? Not that having someone in the job these past three years would have mattered. The last inspector general, in a 10-year period, investigated 150 complaints, but only four of them resulted in findings of misconduct. Two legislative staffers were given disciplinary slaps on the wrist, and one staffer was suspended for 30 days. In the only finding of misconduct against a legislator, the inspector general found that a senator engaged in "unbecoming" conduct stemming from domestic calls at her home. There was no sanction, because the law doesn't allow one for
"unbecoming" conduct. After last week's revelations shined a bright light on Illinois lawmakers, and left voters wondering if the statehouse has become a frat house, the legislators suddenly decided there was a full-blown emergency. The job had been vacant for three years, but suddenly they needed a legislative inspector general right now! So on Saturday, during a private meeting, they hired a former federal prosecutor, Julie B. Porter, as inspector general. As lawmakers return to Springfield this week, they'll consider legislation filed by House Speaker Mike Madigan that would require legislators to complete sexual harassment training. Maybe they'll have to watch a video? We've received press releases supporting the measure from two of our local lawmakers, Katie Stuart and LaToya Greenwood, both newcomers to the legislature. But we haven't heard much on the issue from the
other lawmakers who represent the metro-east, some of whom have been in office for many years but apparently weren't aware of the problem. As usual with our state leaders, they've done too little, too late. For starters, they need to give their inspector general some real authority. Another good step would be to make public any complaints that are made against lawmakers — so voters can know who the creeps are. They also should put some real penalties
in the law that contains the ethical code of conduct for legislators. As it stands now, that law says the code is "intended only as guides to legislator conduct, and not as rules meant to be enforced by disciplinary action." In other words, they're just suggestions for lawmakers' behavior. In a statehouse that's been plagued with corruption, and now sexual harassment complaints, we know how well those suggestions have worked.
October, 71-40. A lot of local people would benefit. In Boone County, there are 243 unclaimed policies worth $595,190; Winnebago, 3,139 policies worth $3,994,287; Ogle, 353 policies worth $366,889; Stephenson, 544 policies worth $746,576; Jo Daviess, 151 policies worth $214,399. It will cost the insurance industry some money to find people, but it's the right thing to do. We encourage senators to follow representatives' lead and vote for the measure. House Bill 3649, the Debt
Transparency Act, would require state agencies to report monthly to the comptroller the unpaid bills that they haven't submitted for payment, and whether they have the money to pay any of those bills. State agencies currently are only required to report annually how much they owe. The state's unpaid bill backlog was $16.5 billion as of Monday. That might be understated because there's no telling how much has not been submitted for payment. Illinoisans deserve accurate information on how bad the state's
financial situation really is and we would hope that lawmakers would show a greater urgency to deal with the problem if they saw how deep the fiscal hole really was. The House voted 112-0 — nary a no vote — to override the governor's veto. It's up to senators to complete the override. Senate Bill 1351, the Student Loan Bill of Rights, would require financial institutions to tell borrowers what their repayment options are, prohibit deceptive practices and provide
information so cosigners know the conditions for being released from their obligations. Veterans groups such as Amvets support SB 1351 because of the challenges active duty service members face because of frequent deployments. The Senate voted to override 37-19 in October. The House can complete the process. There are other bills that will come up during the veto session, but we think these three are the most worthy of support.
Last week, more than 130 people signed onto a letter circulated by women involved in Illinois politics that alleges an epidemic of sexual harassment at the statehouse.
Halfway there: Lawmakers should complete override process on these three bills ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR, ILL.
Illinois lawmakers returned to Springfield on Tuesday for the fall veto session halfway to overriding Gov. Bruce Rauner's vetoes of three bills that would help Illinois residents get information they deserve. House Bill 302, championed by state Treasurer Michael Frerichs, would require insurance companies to look as far back as 2000 to identify and pay beneficiaries of policies no longer in effect. The House voted to override the governor's veto in

Saluki football turns attention to Youngstown State for Senior Day NATHAN DODD | @NathanMDodd
Following a disappointing loss to Missouri State Saturday, and with only two games remaining, the Saluki football look to end their season on a positive note. The loss on Saturday marked the third conference defeat in a row that Southern has suffered and the fourth overall. This weekend, SIU (4-5, 2-4 MVFC) is tasked with facing off against Youngstown State, the runner-up in last season's FCS Championship. In 2015 — the last time the two schools met at Saluki Stadium — SIU used an overtime touchdown pass from senior quarterback Mark Iannotti to take down the No. 17 Penguins 38-31. This season YSU (4-5, 2-4 MVFC) played opponents close and only lost one game by more than seven points. "When they play at their best, Youngstown is as good of a team as any in the league," coach Nick Hill said. "They've lost a lot of close games and they are a quality opponent." In the loss to MSU, Southern gathered 28 points behind the split quarterback duties of sophomore Tanner Hearn and junior Matt DeSomer. Hearn threw for three touchdowns and one interception in his first career start, while DeSomer led the team with 74 yards rushing. "We will dive into it and see who gives us the best opportunity to win the game," Hill said. "They are two different types of quarterbacks and will both have their packages the next two weeks. Both of them will be ready to play." Hill said that last week was the first time that DeSomer — who also plays safety — appeared in the quarterback room to work on the offensive game plan. "Matt only had about five days of preparation for a conference game," the Saluki head coach said. "We have a good package that he is comfortable running and that will continue to grow moving forward." The Salukis allowed five plays of over 40 yards against the Bears on Saturday and face a YSU team that accumulated 66 points at Indiana State, the Penguins' highest total this season. "We all just have to do better," Hill said of his defense's recent inability to stop explosive plays. "We've also had 11 15-yard penalties in two games and seven of them on third down. It's about executing the call that is made and going out and making plays." Through nine games this season, the Penguins have found most of their success in the running game. Youngstown ranks second in the MVFC with 1,911 yards rushing and an average of 212 yards per game on the ground with 23 touchdowns. Junior tailback Tevin McCaster served as the leader of the YSU rushing attack this season and has amassed 727 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. "They're going to commit to running the football," Hill said.
Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz SIU sophomore quarterback Tanner Hearn advances the ball during the Salukis' 20-27 loss against the Missouri State Bears Saturday at Saluki Stadium.
"There's no tricks. When they run the ball well, it's because they're executing with really good running backs which makes them tough to stop." The Penguins also feature a defense that has only allowed 158 yards passing and 20 points per game to opponents. "Their staple is to play great defense," he said. "You have to work for all of your yards. You have to make plays and some contested throws." The Salukis fell victim to turnovers in the last two weeks, something that Hill said the team must focus on in the next two contests. According to Hill, Southern's seven combined turnovers against MSU and YSU were a direct correlation to the outcome of the games. "Turnover margin is the one key thing that we have to work on," Hill said. "We have to get turnovers and we can't turn the ball over." SIU's objective leading up to the matchup against MSU was to win
the final three games of the season and claim a spot in the playoffs. The loss to the Bears removed the Salukis from a playoff bid. Southern's fourth loss in the MVFC declined the squad from being able to achieve a record above .500 in league play for the fourth consecutive season. "I think we're taking the right steps," Hill said in regards to the future of SIU football. "We're learning a lot about what it takes to win. The margin for error is small." The last home game at Saluki Stadium marks the final time that Southern's 14 seniors will take the field in front of the home crowd. Senior Day on Nov. 11 is scheduled to kickoff at 1 p.m. "I can't say enough about what this senior group has done for the program," Hill said. "They give us everything that they've got every single day. We'll line up and play as hard as we ever have and look to play our best game."

Wilhoit and Netisingha
thrive in fall season NATHAN DODD | @NathanMDodd
Saluki golfers Peyton Wilhoit and Hanna Netisingha put the spotlight on SIU's men's and women's golf with impressive fall performances. Wilhoit and Netisingha cemented themselves as leaders of the men's and women's teams, respectively, and brought a championship caliber of play to the links in each event this fall. The impressive play of the Saluki standouts earned each golfer awards and honors throughout the season. Peyton Wilhoit The junior from Searcy, Arkansas improved his finish in the standings
"One of my goals this year was to win a tournament. I'm happy I got to do it with my mom there." - Hanna Netisingha senior
from one tournament to the next. "Peyton has continued to improve from the day he arrived on campus," men's head golf
coach Justin Fetcho said. "He has a chance to win any golf tournament if he just goes out and golfs the way he is able to."
Wednesday, november 8, 2017 In the first two events of the season Wilhoit tied for 41st out of 89 at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate and 36th out of 75 in the Golfweek Conference Challenge. He earned the best finish of his collegiate career in September when he tied for fifth at the David Toms Intercollegiate. Wilhoit posted a 2-under-par 142 at the David Toms Intercollegiate tourney and received Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week honors for the third time in his career. The Arkansan claimed his first career victory two weeks later at Kennesaw State's Pinetree Intercollegiate and became the first Saluki tournament champion since 2013. In the 36-hole tournament, Wilhoit carded a 7-under-par 137 that helped vault the Salukis to their first team title since winning the Murray State Invitational to open the season last year. "It was a long time coming," he said. "I had been trying so hard to find a way to win. Now that I did, it's like a weight lifted off my shoulders." His first individual win once again earned the junior MVC Golfer of the Week recognition. "It's a good feeling to win [Golfer of the Week]," Wilhoit said. "What I'm doing on the course is more exciting. Those honors are just things that come at the end as an added bonus." Hanna Netisingha Netisingha — a senior from Carol Stream, Illinois — competed in each of the Salukis' tournaments since the 2015-16 season. "She's the staple in our lineup," women's head golf coach Alexis O'Brien said. "She's our leader and our captain. Hanna is a critical piece of the puzzle." Of the six events that the women's team competed in this fall, Netisingha only failed to place in the top-20 once. Netisingha finished in the top-5 in three different tournaments: the APSU Intercollegiate, Chi-Town

Cougar Classic and MVC Preview. With a 4-over-par 148, Netisingha recorded the second individual victory of her collegiate career at the Chi-Town Cougar Classic .
"I always play well in Chicago," Netisingha said. "Before we got on the bus, I told our coaches that I was going to try and win the thing."
She said that one of her goals entering the fall season was to win a tournament championship. Netisingha's mother witnessed her daughter achieve that goal in Chicago.
"One of my goals this year was to win a tournament," she said. "I'm happy I got to do it with my mom there." The Saluki senior's performance earned her MVC Golfer of the Week honors for the second time since 2016. "I get so excited to win MVC Golfer of the Week," Netisingha said. "It's nice to be recognized by the conference. It's something to be proud of when you compete against some of the best golfers and you get to come out on top for the week." Netisingha's consistent finishes near the top of the individual leaderboard led the Salukis to victory in three of its last four tournaments. As one of the team's upperclassmen this season, Netisingha said that she wanted to improve her play, approach and attitude. "This year I wanted to make sure that I was leading the team," Netisingha said. "I wanted to show the underclassmen how much fun golf can be. I made sure to have fun because I don't want to leave SIU with a bitter taste in my mouth about golf."
