“Why does SIU say I’m not a survivor?” Sexual assault survivor expresses frustration with university SHANNON ALLEN | @ShannonAllen_DE

Sexual assault survivor expresses frustration with university Robyn Del Campo, a freshman from Bloomingdale studying physical education, said she was sexually assaulted a week and a half into the school year. “My report pretty much said that I did not continuously say, ‘No’ [while being attacked], therefore I did not have enough evidence to convict my attacker,” Del Campo said. “Why does SIU say I’m not a survivor?” Del Campo said her attacker’s friends have verbally harassed her and made her feel worthless, which has contributed to her current depression, anxiety and sleep deprivation. “I’m in pain every day, every time I see him and I feel that SIU does not care about my personal being,” Del Campo said. “I don’t want to be at school, but I have to show people that I’m tough and I can do this.” It’s On Us, a nationwide initiative created by President Barack Obama, works to end sexual assault on college campuses. SIUC’s It’s On Us student task force, which launched in fall 2014, gathered Monday at Morris Library with five panelists and the public to discuss how to report sexual assault. The panel consisted of Casey Parker, coordinator of the Office of Equity and Diversity, Abby Bilderback from Counseling and Psychological services, Sarah Mason from The Women’s Center in Carbondale, Carbondale

Morgan Timms | Daily Egyptian Sexual assault survivor Robyn Del Campo, a freshman from Bloomingdale studying physical education, challenges panelists during Monday’s “It’s On Us” sexual assault panel. “Listening to these questions kind of cleared some things up,” Del Campo said. “But I still feel like SIU’s not doing enough, especially for a victim.”

Police Department crime victim advocate Susie Toliver and SIU Police Cpl. Adam Cunico. Attorney General Lisa Madigan was invited to the event, but could not attend. Instead, Madigan sent a personalized video to the group about the importance of stopping sexual assault. Mason said as a member of The Women’s Center her focus is survivor-minded. She informs sexual assault survivors of their options and allows them to make the decision. “I’m never going to tell you

what you should do,” Mason said. “I work with them one-on-one and my goal is to restore balance back into their lives.” Parker said her office believes every survivor who comes in, but must consider evidence in an investigation. There are multiple ways to help survivors of sexual assault, such as collecting evidence, conducting an investigation and offering counseling. However, there is still difficulty in convicting an attacker without reasonable doubt, Cunico said.

Del Campo said the university did not use her rape kit from the hospital or contact her friends, who were present the night she was attacked, after they gave statements to police. Parker said she could not comment on previous cases. Del Campo wept as she told the audience that her college life has been taken away because of “this one incident,” and feels she cannot go to parties anymore without being attacked. “Let everyone know that sexual assault is not a joke,” Del

Campo said. Cunico said his department also believes survivors, but few criminal charges are filed because of a lack of evidence. Ninety-eight percent of rapists will never spend a day in jail or prison, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. “This happened in my dorm, and I don’t think I should be the one who has to move out,” Del Campo said. “After this investigation, I no longer feel safe in my dorm, and it’s not fun.”

University of Missouri president, chancellor resign over racial turmoil MATT PEARCE AND LAUREN RAAB Los Angeles Times

University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe resigned Monday morning, forced out of office by student protests alleging he had not done enough to address racism and other issues on campus. Hours later, the university’s governing body said Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin would resign at the end of the year and transition to research. Wolfe, a businessman who took charge of Missouri’s public university system in 2012, had become the focal point of demonstrators’ demands that he

do something about the campus climate. “The frustration and anger that I see is clear, real, and I don’t doubt it for a second,” Wolfe said at a meeting of the university’s governing body, called over the weekend after the football team said it would strike in support of a hunger striker who was demanding Wolfe’s ouster. Students have highlighted a series of disturbing racist incidents on campus, including being called racial epithets, and accused Wolfe of not acting decisively to address race issues. “We stopped listening to each other,” Wolfe told a packed room

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

of reporters at an open meeting of the system’s board of curators. “This is not the way change should come about.” “I take full responsibility for this frustration and I take full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred,” Wolfe said, adding: “Use my resignation to heal and start talking again.” Missouri’s curators then voted to go to closed session. The resignations of Wolfe and Loftin, a physicist, came after a series of protests on campus. The school’s football team had gone on strike, and some professors were staging a walkout from their classes. A tent city had

sprouted on a campus quad. A graduate student had gone on a hunger strike. Some state legislators also joined in calls for Wolfe’s removal. The university’s student government called for the president to resign Monday. Wolfe was holed up in university offices past 1 a.m. Monday — seen through windows talking on a cellphone and meeting with other officials — having become the latest Missouri public figure caught in a maelstrom of radical protest as pressure on campus built for a year, incident after incident. There was the anonymous threat University of Missouri students spotted on social media

app Yik Yak in December, after riots in Ferguson, Mo.: “Let’s burn down the black culture center & give them a taste of their own medicine.” This September, the president of the Missouri Student Association, Payton Head, who is black, said he was walking through campus when a man in a pickup truck shouted a racial epithet at him. “I’ve experienced moments like this multiple times at THIS university, making me not feel included here,” Head said in a Facebook post that went viral, with other students echoing his account with versions of their own.

Regional poll shows approval of bobcat hunting, trapping BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Southern Illinoisans are statistically in favor of a new law to bring bobcat season back to the state next year, despite harsh criticism from animal-rights advocacy groups. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed legislation in July amending the Wildlife Code to allow the hunting and trapping of bobcats statewide, which will take effect after Jan. 1 and open up a bobcat season in late 2016. It will be the first time in 40 years Illinoisans can legally hunt the once-protected species. The bobcat — or felis rufus — can weigh anywhere from 11 to 30 pounds and gets its name from its curly tail. Bobcats were officially removed from the state’s threatened species list in 1999. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources estimates a population of 3,000 to 5,000 statewide based on sightings in 99 of the state’s 102 counties and research conducted by SIUC, which showed more than 2,200 bobcats in 13 southern counties. But animal advocacy groups are saying those numbers do not adequately represent the bobcat population in the state, and strongly oppose the methods through which bobcats are killed. “If you’re lucky enough to spot one of these bobcats, it’s rare and

Last month someone drew a swastika on a residence hall wall, using human feces. The campus has since been increasingly roiled by protest, and campus observers say the dissatisfaction isn’t just limited to racial incidents. Students also have accused university administrators of a lack of decisiveness in protecting graduate students’ health insurance plans from elimination and defending the university’s relationship with Planned Parenthood against attacks from conservative state lawmakers. But race appears to have become the most volatile issue on a campus where racial unease has long simmered among black students and staff. In 2010, two white students scattered white cotton balls on the lawn of the campus’ black culture center in what black students saw as a racist attack. They were convicted of littering. Cynthia Frisby, a journalism professor, wrote in the Missourian newspaper this week that in her 18 years at the university, “I have been called the N-word too many times to count.” Kim English, a black former player on the university’s basketball team, wrote on Twitter this weekend that “Oppression at my alma mater and in the state of my alma mater occurred

it’s certainly a treasure. And that’s why we’re opposed to this,” Illinois State Director of the Humane Society Marc Ayers said. Because of bobcat’s elusive, nocturnal nature, the Humane Society expects a the majority killed in the state will be caught with steel-jawed traps, a method considered both cruel and unsporting by the organization, Ayers said. He said the new law is not in the best interest of registered voters, citing a statewide poll conducted by the Humane Society in June that found 75 percent of surveyed voters opposed the bill. “The only ones benefiting from this misguided legislation are those who will exploit that public resource to make a quick buck off of selling their pelts to overseas markets,” Ayers said. Southern Illinoisans, on the other hand, are showing support of the new law. Almost 54 percent of registered voters in the region said they strongly favored or somewhat favored the new law, while less than one-third either somewhat opposed or strongly opposed it, a recent poll by the Paul Simon Public Policy institute showed. “We’re happy to know that the species was able to come back enough to where we’re going to have a season again, not just for trappers but for hunters as well,”

said Neal Graves, president of the Illinois Trapper’s Association. Graves said he does not plan to pursue any bobcats next season because the population in East Peoria, where he resides, is not up to par. As for opponents of the legislation, Graves said he believes some animal advocacy groups would like to outlaw all outdoor events associated with hunting, trapping and fishing. “Those are the kind of people you’re never going to make happy,” he said. But even if some studies show an increase in population, there have not been sufficient studies performed to determine what will happen to the ecosystem if bobcats are heavily hunted, Ayers said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen to the species, or what’s going to happen as a result of that,” he said. In the midst of a fourmonth budget impasse, Ayers said politicians should be more concerned with the state’s financial crisis than with creating new legislation for hunters and trappers. “It’s ludicrous that a bill to allow the slaughter of bobcats — a species that the state has spent significant resources bringing back from the brink of extinction — is being treated as a priority,” Ayers said.

LONG before the tenure of this System President.” “If U were black at my alma mater, and ur name was not Maclin, Denmon, Pressey, English, Weatherspoon, Carroll, etc. You didn’t feel welcome,” English said, listing the names of some of the university’s most prominent black athletes over the last decade. But campus activists appear to have been emboldened by the protests they watched last year in Ferguson, about a two-hour drive away. “A lot of Mizzou students traveled to Ferguson,” and those who didn’t “wanted to stand up and make a change,” said Ayanna Poole, a 22-year-old senior from Tyler, Texas, who is one of the founding members of the black campus activist group Concerned Student 1950. “I do believe it’s been a domino effect.” The campus coalition’s name reflects the year the university began accepting black students. Today, more than 75 percent of the university’s 35,000 students are white. Several black students have said some white students use the N-word or otherwise discriminated against them. Poole recalled how she was kicked out of a fraternity party her freshman year after a man used the N-word and said, “All you ... girls have to leave.” Andrea Fulgiam, 21, a junior

studying psychology and sociology, said when she sat down in a lecture class freshman year, the student next to her muttered, “I’m not about to sit next to this black girl.” Fulgiam said a professor once told her she was at the university only because of affirmative action. Parnell said when she transferred to the university last year, other black students warned her, “Don’t walk through Greektown,” the cluster of fraternities and sororities just off campus. Wolfe, a former businessman, became president of the University of Missouri system in 2012 and has been targeted by students who accuse him of a lack of empathy for racial minorities. Campus tensions reached a boiling point during the Oct. 10 homecoming parade, when student protesters blocked the parade route by standing in front of a car containing Wolfe. The car inched forward and, according to communications professor Melissa Click, bumped into a protester. Wolfe did not speak to the protesters, and police took them off the street, threatening arrest. Wolfe “allowed his driver to try to drive around us, even hit one of us,” said Parnell, who participated in the demonstration. She said police threatened protesters with pepper spray and pushed them, and Wolfe “did not intervene whatsoever.”

Medical marijuana debuts in Illinois but some patients turned away ROBERT MCCOPPIN Chicago Tribune

Illinois’ medical marijuana dispensaries opened their doors Monday and have begun processing patients who will receive the first batches of the drug under the state’s four-year pilot programs. At EarthMed, a dispensary in Addison, the first patient to legally purchase pot, Chris Favela, 19, emerged with a small, opaque canister of a strain called Grape God. He paid $180 for about 9 grams of the marijuana. “I think it’s fantastic,” Favela, of Itasca, said of the program. “It’s going to help patients that are suffering. I take a lot of medication and if this reduces it ... I’m a fan.” Favela hopes the drug will relieve muscle spasms he has as a result of multiple sclerosis. The long-delayed program has not been without early glitches, though. Some patients were turned away from EarthMed because they were not registered as customers there. One such patient was Ryan Flannigan, 24, who has spinal arthritis and muscular dystrophy and walks with a cane. “It’s depressing. I was hoping to get my help today. I’ve been waiting two years for this moment. It’s horrible,” said Flannigan, of Palos Heights, who said he moved to Colorado for three months so he could access marijuana there. He moved back to Illinois in anticipation of the

state’s medical pot debut. Patients who were turned away had apparently been approved to use the drug and had patient ID cards. But once patients and caregivers receive their cards, they must register online to use a particular dispensary and that can take at least 24 hours to process. Some patients and caregivers only received their ID cards in the mail Friday or Saturday. Up to eight dispensaries were expected to open Monday, including several in the Chicago area, after state regulators gave cultivation centers the go-ahead to start shipping the drug to the

retailers late last week. Michael Murphy, of Mokena, was one of about 10 people waiting outside EarthMed for it to open Monday morning. He said he hopes the drug will relieve headaches he suffers from past concussions playing football and injuries from a car crash, and he hopes it replaces the prescription painkillers he’s been taking. Murphy, 54, said he’s used marijuana before but feels more comfortable now that he can purchase it legally. The Addison dispensary and four others confirmed they have

inventory and were prepared to open Monday, according to the Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois. The other dispensaries are in the Chicago suburb of Mundelein and in downstate Canton, Marion and Quincy. Others are planned to open Tuesday in North Aurora and Ottawa. In Mundelein midday Monday, a crowd of more than 100 was waiting outside The Clinic Mundelein dispensary when Ben Kovler opened its doors, greeted by applause as he welcomed the first set of clients. “This is an historic day in the state of Illinois,” said Kovler, CEO

of Green Thumb Industries, the firm behind The Clinic. “What we’ve gone through [to open] is nothing compared to what the patients have gone through.” A “Menu for Opening Day” distributed outside The Clinic featured both indica and sativa strains with prices ranging from $35 for 1.75 grams to $110 for 7 grams of either product. Second in line outside The Clinic was Edwin Schlesser, who drove north from Streamwood to purchase medication that he said is preferable to the narcotics prescribed to him for a spinal condition. “My doctor was actually proud of me for never taking the pain pills,” said Schlesser, expressing worries about addiction. “This is God’s natural gift to us right here,” he said, holding up a sealed vial of cannabis that he intended to use as soon as he got home. “It was a long process [to acquire it], but it’s a great day.” Illinois officials said they mailed the required ID cards Oct. 30 to qualifying patients, whose numbers have climbed to about 3,300 — still well below the number that many people in the fledgling industry say is needed to make the business viable in Illinois. State workers were expected to work through the weekend to finish setting up a computer database of patients and caregivers that dispensaries must use to track where patients buy their cannabis and how much, so that patients cannot exceed the legal limit of 2 ounces every two weeks.

It’s On Us to Stop Campus Sexual Assault VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

Twenty-one years ago, I wrote the Violence Against Women Act to end the scourge of violence against women and hold perpetrators accountable. It’s been a great success, but even one attack is one too many. So I held a number of calls with hundreds of students, administrators, advocates, and survivors and asked what we can do to make colleges safer. The overwhelming answer—get men involved. So President Obama and I started It’s On Us — to wake-up our colleges and universities and the country — to the epidemic of sexual violence on their campuses. Over the past year, we’ve gotten celebrities, major companies, sports leagues, and leading broadcasters to participate in public service announcements and display logos and information, showing how everyone can help prevent these heinous crimes from

ever happening. One thing students can do is take the It’s On Us pledge. Over 250,000 students have already pledged: 1. To intervene instead of being a bystander. 2. To recognize that any time consent is not — or cannot — be given, it is sexual assault and it is a crime. 3. To do everything you can to create an environment where sexual assault is unacceptable, and all survivors are supported. The response has been overwhelming. More than 300 campuses have hosted over 1,000 It’s On Us events, and nearly 300 colleges and universities have created their own It’s On Us public service announcements, reaching millions of people online and at football and basketball games. But this year, we want to do even more. That’s why between November 8th to November 14th, I’m traveling across the country

calling for a Week of Action to get more students involved. This week, the University of Wisconsin is hosting an It’s On Us flag football game with student athletes, members of Greek organizations, and other student groups. At Stonehill College in Massachusetts, students, faculty, and staff are wearing nametags that say how they have been affected by sexual assault: “I am a survivor,” and “I will not be a passive bystander.” Middle Tennessee State University is hosting discussions in the student center and online about consent and stopping sexual violence. In addition to taking the pledge, consider other steps: · Organize drives to get more students to take the It’s On Us Pledge. · Ask businesses, libraries, hospitals to display an It’s On Us logo. · Encourage sports teams, fraternities, sororities, bands, and other student organizations to get involved.

· Hold press conferences and roundtables with school administrators and community leaders about campus sexual assault. · Use social media to spread the word using #ItsonUs. You have to demand that your Universities be held accountable. President Obama and I have made it crystal clear that schools that fail in this responsibility are in violation of Title IX and risk federal investigation and financial penalties. And each of you can make it clear that you expect nothing less. I also encourage your colleges to partner with local rape crisis centers, local law enforcement, and women’s health centers to coordinate a robust community response and ensure that victims are supported in every way possible. We have more to do to change the culture that asks the wrong questions, like why were you there? What were you wearing?

Were you drinking? We have to ask the right questions — What made him think that he could do what he did without my consent? Why on Earth did no one stop him instead of standing by? What can we do to make sure everyone has the courage to speak up, intervene, prevent and end sexual assault once and for all? You know that survivors are not statistics. They’re our sisters; they’re our classmates; they’re our friends. They’re at every university, every college, in every community — large and small. For all of them, everywhere, we can and we must end sexual and dating violence on campus. But we can’t do it without you. Visit www.itsonus.org to find out what you can do during this Week of Action and throughout the school year. It’s on me. It’s on you. It’s on us — and it’s within our power to end sexual violence on campus once and for all.

Mission accomplished: a unique Call of Duty

PAGE 5

‘Spectre’ makes Bond unoriginal again JACOB PIERCE @JacobPierce1_DE

GRANT MEYER | @GrantMeyerDe

It is a shooter fan’s duty to check out Black Ops III. “Call of Duty: Black Ops III” is the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter series developed by Treyarch. Treyarch is known for creating the more unique entries in the series. They allow tons of player creativity, customization and have more surrealstyle storytelling. They also created the fan-favorite Zombies mode in their first entry in the series with “Call of Duty: World at War,” which has since permeated other games in the franchise. Campaign starts out slow, but picks up about midway through and becomes more engaging. As expected the story gets strange, especially near the end. I can see fans who prefer the more realistic approach of previous Call of Duty games being both confused and annoyed with this approach. However, I like the risk Treyarch takes with its unorthodox storytelling approach because it freshens up the experience and is different from the norm. Another difference in this storyline is the small but nice touch of romance in the story. It is not anything too dramatic, but it adds much needed emotion Call of Duty games usually lack. Gameplay has received an improvement as well. Not only can the player choose what equipment they bring into missions, but they are granted special abilities through the characters robotic limbs and implants. These abilities range from controlling enemy robots to sending out swarms of small robots to stun and defeat foes. This campaign also features the largest enemy variety to date. Players can expect to see soldiers, robots, flying drones and giant walking tanks. This is particular great for Call of Duty because previous entries have almost no enemy variation. For the first time, Call of Duty players can play as a female in the campaign mode. Giving players more options

is always better. While it is good the developers are being more inclusive with women, it is odd that you can only play as a white protagonist. This is not a flaw, but it would have served the game better to include more diversity. Classic Call of Duty multiplayer returns in every way a returning fan would expect and it plays well. The addition of movement options such as wall running and double jump help freshen the game and forces players to be more creative in their traversal of various maps. The biggest change is the introduction of a class system, in which players choose a class before going into battle. The classes all play the same except for their special ability. These provide a slight boost in the player’s power, giving them varying advantages. For instance, some players can choose to have a bow with explosive arrows while others can increase their durability. Every class also has its own appearance, providing a unique visual identity and emotes. More classes can be unlocked by leveling up in online rank. Zombie mode returns and is as bonkers as ever. Set in the 1940s, this cooperative mode allows players to fight multiple waves of zombies and other monstrosities. This is just as fun as before and should keep fans of the mode enjoying it for a while to come. The setting of the new map is also

incredibly detailed and oozes style, and is the most impressive feature of the mode. Unfortunately, there is just one map to play on. However, if history repeats itself, future downloadable content will most likely include zombies maps. To add to the zaniness, four Hollywood actors lended their faces and voices to the playable characters, all with their own aesthetic and personality. The actors include Jeff Goldblum, Ron Perlman, Heather Graham and Neil McDonough. Nightmare is a new mode that combines the campaign and Zombies mode. You play through campaign levels, but enemies from the zombies mode inhabit them. The idea has a great deal of potential, but ultimately falls short. There is a unique story, but it is only told as narration over the campaign’s cutscenes and much of Zombie mode’s tension is lost in the campaigns open environments. Furthermore, the amount of enemies thrown at players is excessive and in earlier levels players will fight wave after wave of slow-moving, boring zombies. Ultimately, Nightmare is a missed opportunity. Overall, “Call of Duty: Black Ops III” is a solid entry into the series. It is not groundbreaking and mostly more of the same, but it has one of the stronger campaigns of the franchise and has more content and options than any previous Call of Duty.

Some diamonds are not forever. “Spectre,” directed by Sam Mendes and starring Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz, is the worst film of Craig’s run as Bond. James Bond is back again, and this time a dark secret from his past has come to haunt him. The terrorist organization Spectre is here, led by a mysterious man from Bond’s past, and the secret agent must race against time to stop them and save MI6 from closing. While this is nowhere near the worst film of the year, it definitely makes “Quantum of Solace” feel like a competent movie. “Spectre” is full of clichés and overused action tropes. This can be commonplace for many action films and Bond movies, but that has not been the case for Craig’s Bond films. Everything from obvious villains on the good side going to the dark side right at the end, to a plot ripped straight from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” there is nothing original about this film. The movie tries to add bits of the old, cartoony Bond franchise such as henchman and gadgets with the new addition of gritty, realism. This is not a bad idea. Many older fans want classic Bond tropes in the newer films. But the filmmakers poorly use all of the old, overdone ideas making it uninteresting.

The Jacob Show “Spectre” also has some of the worst attempts at Bond villains. Oberhauser, the main antagonist played by Waltz, has no real motivation. He terrorizes for what seems like no reason and his back story is haphazard. One would think adding Waltz — an Academy Award winning actor — would help, but it’s like they asked him to play a watered-down version of Hans Landa, his character from “Inglorious Basterds.” The movie is not completely terrible. A lot of the good aspects from previous films carry over and make it bearable. Craig is still amazing, Mendes can still set up beautiful action set pieces and most of Bond’s supporting characters continue to entertain.

Former SIU athletic director promoted at U of I BRENT MESKE | @brentmeskeDE

Paul Kowalczyk was named interim athletic director at University of Illinois on Monday.

The hiring came after the university fired Mike Thomas earlier the same day. Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said the release was a no-cause dismissal.

Kowalcyzk served as U of I’s senior associate athletic director and has been with the university since 2012. His salary will increase from $140,595 to $295,000,

according to The News Gazette. Kowalcyzk was the athletic director at SIU from 2000 to 2006 and was responsible for hiring former football coach Jerry Kill.

He was former basketball coach Bruce Weber’s boss at SIU from 2000-03 before then-Illinois AD Ron Guenther brought Weber to Illinois.

Saluki football attendance on pace for 6-year low SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

TJ Price | @TJPrice_DE Azia Washington sits on the sideline during the women’s basketball exhibition game against Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday at SIU Arena. Washington is rehabbing a knee injury and is close to returning, coach Cindy Stein said.

Senior playing waiting game after knee surgery THOMAS DONLEY | @tdonleyDE

After a season of consistency in the starting lineup, the SIU women’s basketball team has been without one of its lineup stalwarts. Junior forward Azia Washington missed both of SIU’s exhibition games because she is rehabbing from knee surgery. Washington suffers from patellofemoral pain syndrome, a condition common in athletes that results from wear of cartilage under the kneecap. She underwent lateral release surgery to alleviate the right knee pain that had nagged her for more than a year. Washington has started 58 of the Salukis’ 60 games the last two seasons, including all 30 last year. She spent practices this preseason working on strengthening her knee while her teammates participated in full-court drills. She watched from the stationary bike on the sideline or from a stretching position on the floor while the team scrimmaged. “It’s really hard mentally,” Washington said. “But you just have to get through it. I just know that there’s going to be better days ahead.” Washington has been gradually working her way back to full participation. She participated in full-court drills on a limited basis Wednesday for the first time all season. “She looks good,” coach Cindy Stein said. “There’s still some rust, but it’s just a matter of time.”

Stein said after Saturday’s exhibition game against Kentucky Wesleyan that Washington probably could have played, but did not as a precaution. “We felt like it was just smart to hold her out one more week and to see where she is a little bit more,” Stein said. Junior guard/forward Carlie Corrigan and sophomore forward Celina VanHyfte are receiving more time with Washington’s absence. Corrigan started in the Salukis’ first exhibition game Oct. 30 against Maryville, posting four points and three rebounds in a 66-60 win. VanHyfte started Saturday and finished with 19 points and six rebounds in a 96-64 victory. “I just go out and play as hard as I can every day,” VanHyfte said. “There’s nothing else I can do. It’s great that I’m getting more opportunities, but then again, Azia’s a really key player, and we’re going to miss her.” Sophomore guard/forward Kylie Giebelhausen, SIU’s regular starter at small forward, can also slide into Washington’s power forward position and allow other guards to contribute. “I still like playing outside more,” Giebelhausen said. “But my attitude more so would be to step in at any position I need to.” Stein named junior forward Kim Nebo and freshman forward Ashley Hummel as other players who could benefit from more playing time in Washington’s absence.

Unless 10,410 or more people attend Saturday’s football game against Illinois State, this season’s average attendance will be the lowest in the 15,000-seat Saluki Stadium history. Through the first four games of this season, attendance averaged 8,091 fans per game. The lowest season average was 8,554 in 2013. Last season was the first increase in attendance from a previous season since Saluki Stadium opened in 2010. During its first four years, attendance had decreased every season. Saluki Stadium’s single game lowest attendance was set this year with 5,509 attendees during the Oct. 10 73-26 win against Missouri State, which took place during fall break. Athletic Director Tommy Bell said a variety of factors has contributed to the low attendance this year. “We do know that timing of weather had an effect ... win-loss record had an effect,” he said. There was rainfall the morning of the homecoming game Oct. 24 against Youngstown State. Yet, despite the team’s 3-6 record overall, the Salukis are 3-1 at home so far this season. Bell said the university depends on

walk-up ticket buyers, so when these conditions exist, it’s hard to make money. Fans leaving mid-game has also been an issue this year, which Bell said matches a trend across the Football Championship Subdivision. “FCS football sees the highest [number of] people leaving during the third quarter or halftime,” he said. Luke Dvorak, a sophomore from Essex studying forest recreation and park management, said he usually stays until afternoon games end, but leaves night games early if he thinks he knows how the game will end. He also said he knows others leave night games early to go out and party at night. For all four home games this year, the Salukis were either leading or within a touchdown of their opponent at halftime. Bell said the Salukis marketing and promotion division has an on-campus plan to get more students to games, but still needs to find strategies that will draw students through the gates. Both coach Dale Lennon and senior quarterback Mark Iannotti said the lower attendance has not impacted the team. “We just play the game,” Lennon said. “We understand we don’t have the record people want, so attendance will not be where we’d like it to be. All we can do is just play as hard as we can.”
