Protesters prepare for the worst in Ferguson Jennifer S. Mann St. Louis Post-Dispatch

They stood in a crowded meeting room, arms locked at the elbows, as the tap, tap, tap of police batons grew louder.

The Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, of the First Baptist Church of Boston, stood in the middle of the tightly woven circle.

“How do you feel?” he asked, as makeshift batons beat even more urgently.

His trainees responded in chorus: “Nervous!” “Anxious!” “Threatened!” “I

feel like you’re provoking me!”

Three months and nearly 350 arrests since they first took to the streets protesting the death of Michael Brown at the hands of a Ferguson police officer, activists here and across the nation are girding for round two.

If the grand jury deliberating charges against Officer Darren Wilson does not indict him, protesters will flood the streets -- that’s a promise.

What nobody can predict is whether that type of mass gathering will erupt into arson, looting, tear gas and rubber bullets like last time.

Those who have been protesting on the streets since the beginning insist they share one goal of police and officials: They don’t want violence either.

But they also want their voices to be heard, both now and for the long term. And in the bundle of nerves that is Ferguson, that requires planning and training.

The training with Sekou on Wednesday was one of many sessions the grass-roots network called the Don’t Shoot Coalition has planned this month, with a grand jury announcement expected at any moment.

‘Deadliest’ frat Deer processors prepare for shotgun season hopes to establish chapter at SIU Joshua Murray

@JDMurray_DE | Daily Egyptian

With nine deaths attributed to it since 2006, Sigma Alpha Epsilon hopes to be the next fraternity at SIU. Founded more than 150 years ago, SAE is one of the largest and oldest fraternities in the nation, and is now seeking to join more than 30 other fraternities or sororities on campus.

One of the nine fatalities attributed to the fraternity was Carson Starkey, 18, who died of alcohol poisoning. A freshman at California Polytechnic State University, in San Luis Obispo, Calif., Starkey died in 2008 after being pressured to drink excessive amounts of alcohol in a 90-minute period given to him in a brown paper bag. This was done as part of a “brown bag” hazing ritual.

Four men were arrested and served jail time for the incident.

More than 60 fraternity-related deaths have occurred in the U.S. since 2005, and Bloomberg News labeled SAE the “deadliest” fraternity in the nation in December 2013.

More than 100 chapters of SAE have been disciplined by universities in the U.S. Matthew Snite, a freshman from Wilmette studying business, is the student leader in trying to establish the chapter in Carbondale. He said a man approached him at a fair showcasing Greek life at the beginning of the semester.

“I was just over there with a couple of friends and Thomas Brigman, the recruitment director for the organization, approached me and said, ‘How would you like to be the founding father of this fraternity?’”

Snite said they exchanged numbers and kept in contact.

Eventually Brigman began taking Snite and several others to upscale restaurants, discussing membership recruitment, goals of the fraternity and the recruitment process.

The creed of SAE is “The True Gentleman.”

“The mission of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is to promote the highest standards of friendship, scholarship and service for our members based upon the ideals set forth by our Founders and as specifically enunciated in ‘The True Gentleman,’” according to the organization’s website.

After a continued string of hazing and pledging incidents, the organization announced in March it would be banning all forms of initiation pledges. Under the new policy, which was announced on the fraternity’s 158th Founder’s Day, students can become members by simply accepting a recruitment offer. And instead of pledging, new members will have to complete the Carson Starkey Membership Certification Program, named after the hazing victim.

In a YouTube video, Brad Cohen, a top SAE official, commented on the fraternity’s decision.

“As an organization, we have been plagued with too much bad behavior, which has resulted in loss of lives, negative press and bad lawsuits,” Cohen said. “We have taken our bloodline for the fraternity-our new members-and treated them as second-class citizens.”

Adams seeks Carbondale mayor position Luke Nozicka

@LukeNozicka | Daily Egyptian

A second person has tossed her hat in the ring for mayor of Carbondale.

City councilwoman Jane Adams announced Saturday she will run against John Henry, owner of Henry Printing, to replace interim Mayor Don Monty who will not seek reelection April 7.

“City Hall is dysfunctional,” Adams said to a crowd of about 30 people outside the Carbondale Civic Center. “There are serious leadership problems in City Hall. … City council isn’t getting things done.”

Adams said if elected she will work with the council to promote safety and security to residents and visitors, revitalize Carbondale and focus on a responsive city administration.

She said the city is overly reliant on taxes, and must recruit SIU alumni to start companies in Carbondale.

“We need to create another leg of our economy,” said Adams, who retired in May 2010 after teaching anthropology at the university for 23 years.

She said the city needs to complete its Downtown Master Plan and must enforce housing codes to assure high quality rental housing.

“If Carbondale is to catch the next wave, it must vigorously move forward,” according to a pamphlet given to attendees

FRATERNITY CONTINUED FROM

Cohen said pledging and hazing incidents have given the organization a bad name. He said he is concerned stockholders and universities would begin to drop SAE. And they have.

JPMorgan and Chase Co. quit managing SAE’s account, citing concerns with the bad publicity of both Cohen and the organization.

Some SAE alumni, as well as current members, have spoken out against this decision. Online discussions started by both alumni and current members claim a ban on pledging would allow anyone to just be able join. Many think this will take away a sense of the tightknit brotherhood and fellowship that come with a fraternity.

“This is not a way to stop any hazing,” one SAE alumnus said on a discussion board. “I feel that this is only giving those individuals an easier way to become a part of something amazing…something they need to learn before they are given.” Another SAE member shared the same sentiment saying, “Now accepting a bid from SAE is going to Vegas to get hitched. Now you’re in so you better like it.”

Brandon Weghorst, associate executive director of communications for the fraternity, said he knew there would be opposition to the ban.

“No change is easy, especially one of this magnitude for an entire generation of members,” he said. “As with any change, there are people who are skeptical or who hold a negative

outlook. As a large organization, there are members who make bad decisions or act in ways that go against what we stand for.”

Weghorst said the original founding fathers required no pledging process for membership, and pledging was only introduced to fraternity-life long after the organization originally formed.

“From the very beginning, our leaders have maintained that they will not tolerate groups that fail to follow our guidelines for the new membership experience,” he said.

Weghorst said the fraternity’s board of directors started a discussion on ways to improve membership. The students and community should have no reason to be concerned about hazing, he said.

“We have zero tolerance for actions and behaviors that are not consistent with our creed and expectations, and the organization’s leadership will not hesitate to take corrective actions or to sanction individuals or groups that fail to comply with our guidelines,” he said.

Kate Roessler, who works for Fraternity and Sorority Life, said the university welcomes SAE’s colonization.

“We do support the colonization of this fraternity, but we haven’t provided any additional assistance to them that we wouldn’t give to any other fraternity on campus,” Roessler said.

She said the university would require the same of SAE as they would any other fraternity or sorority on campus.

“Overall, we expect them to meet

the standards of our community as a whole, so that means taking members with a GPA above a 2.5,” Roessler said. “We also recommend that students do eight or more hours of service per semester. It’s more so that we expect them to live up to the expectations that we have on all of our other chapters, as well.”

Nationwide, SAE has 223 chapters and 23 colonies, for a total of 246 groups. The organization has approximately 15,000 collegiate members and has initiated nearly 325,000 men since its founding.

Weghorst said the colonizing process at SIU is ongoing and the organization is focusing on recruitment. He said because the students have only formed an interest group, it would be presumptuous and too early for anyone to worry about hazing.

“If anything, our colony members work harder and have a stronger passion than brothers who come from historic chapters because they are working in pursuit of a charter,” Weghorst said. “The students and community at SIU are partners in education with us, and we are confident a Sigma Alpha Epsilon group will raise the bar for everyone.

We currently have 23 colonies that are thriving on the campuses where they have joined the Greek system.”

With an interest group already formed, the next step to take toward colonization is to become a campus RSO. Roessler said the group is still recruiting members and does not believe an actual date for colonization is set.

Peter Kassig beheaded by Islamic State Patrick J. McDonnell Los Angeles Times

Islamic State militants have beheaded Peter Kassig, a U.S. aid worker and ex-Army Ranger who was captured last year in Syria while on a private humanitarian mission, the White House confirmed Sunday.

U.S. officials authenticated a 16-minute video, released on various social networks by the militant group earlier in the day.

The video also includes footage of the mass beheading of men said to be Syrian government soldiers.

“Today we offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter,” President Obama said in a statement released by the White House, using the name Kassig adopted after converting to Islam. “We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time.”

The graphic video shows a blackclad, masked militant with what appears to be a British accent saying Kassig had been beheaded. It shows a decapitated head, but does not show the execution.

In a statement released Sunday, the slain hostage’s parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, said from Indianapolis that they were “heartbroken” that their son had been slain “as a result of his love for the Syrian people and

his desire to ease their suffering. Our heart also goes out to the families of the Syrians who have lost their lives.”

The grieving couple also expressed condolences to the families of the other four Western hostages who have been killed by Islamic State, while saying they prayed for the safe return of all captives held by all sides in the Syrian war.

“We are incredibly proud of our son for living his life according to his humanitarian calling,” the couple said. “We will work every day to keep his legacy alive as best we can.”

Earlier in the day, the Kassigs had asked that the news media refrain from disseminating video or photographs distributed by their son’s captors to “avoid playing into the hostage takers’ hands.”

Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said President Obama was briefed about the video by national security advisor Susan Rice during a flight to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. He was returning from Australia, where he had been attending the G-20 summit.

Kassig became the third U.S. citizen known to have been executed

by Islamic State, an Al Qaeda offshoot that controls vast swaths of territory in Syria and neighboring Iraq. The group arose amid the tumult of the

Syrian conflict, now in its fourth year.

Islamic State has previously released videos of the beheading of a pair of U.S. journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff. The militants have also beheaded two British aid workers, David Haines and Alan Henning.

All were captured in rebel-held territory in northern and eastern Syria. Islamic State says the killings are revenge for the ongoing, U.S.led air campaign against the militant group in Syria and Iraq.

In his statement, Obama -- using the acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- said Kassig “was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity. Like Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff before him, his life and deeds stand in stark contrast to everything that ISIL represents.

“While ISIL revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction, Abdul-Rahman was a humanitarian who worked to

–Ed and Paula Kassig Peter Kassigs parents save the lives of Syrians injured and dispossessed by the Syrian conflict.”

Obama concluded: “ISIL’s actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which AbdulRahman adopted as his own.

Today we grieve together, yet we also recall that the indomitable spirit of goodness and perseverance that burned so brightly in AbdulRahman Kassig, and which binds humanity together, ultimately is the light that will prevail over the darkness of ISIL.” Matt Olsen, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said the executioner’s British accent in the latest video made it appear that he was the same person who beheaded the other hostages.

Olsen, speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” said U.S. government officials were still trying to identify the killer. It’s not yet clear when the tape was made, he said.

Unlike videos released after the previous decapitations of Western

hostages, Kassig does not appear alive or speak in the videotape. The other hostages, clearly under duress, made statements critical of their governments.

“It’s possible, of course, that he wouldn’t cooperate and speak on the video,” Olsen said of Kassig.

Asked about broad threats to Americans issued in the tape, Olsen said the Islamic State militants have the capacity to carry out small-scale attacks, but not on a scale that suggests an imminent danger to Americans outside the war zone.

But he said the militants’ use of propaganda, including the latest videotape, could inspire people who are “mentally ill or deranged” to carry out attacks.

Kassig, 26, was captured in October 2013 while on a charity mission to Syria.

While in custody, his family said, Kassig converted to Islam and changed his first name to Abdul-Rahman.

Kassig, who served a stint in Iraq with the U.S. Army during 2007, traveled to Lebanon while on spring break from college in 2012 and began working with Palestinian refugees and victims of the Syrian war. He later founded an aid organization, Special Emergency Response and Assistance, largely funded with his savings and donations from relatives and others in the United States.

Music could be heard escaping the doors of the Old Baptist Foundation Recital Hall on Saturday night as the SIU School of Music hosted a violoncello and piano recital featuring Amy Catron and Silvan Negruţiu.

The two performed “Suite Per Violoncello” by Gaspar Cassado, “Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano”

by Franz Schubert and “Sonata in D minor” by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Eric Lenz, an associate professor of cello at SIU, contacted Catron to come play in Carbondale.

Catron, who is an adjunct cello professor at Millikin University in Decatur, said Lenz performed at Millikin in September and her appearance at SIU is part of a recital exchange.

Catron and Lenz have been

playing cello together in the Illinois Symphony Orchestra and the Illinois Symphony Chamber Orchestra for the past eight years.

“I have enjoyed working closely with [Catron] because we often share music in the symphony, so we get to know each other more closely,” Lenz said.

Catron said she decided she wanted to play the cello when she saw a famous cellist named Leonard Rose when she was in sixth grade.

“I think the cello has a range closest to the human voice, and I love the lyricism,” Catron said.

Catron received her bachelor’s degree from Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., and her master’s degree from the University of Akron in Ohio.

Catron has performed with the Sinfonia da Camera since 2000, a chamber orchestra at the

University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign.

In February, she will perform as the principal cellist for the world premiere of a Concerto for Cello and Orchestra with Sinfonia da Camera.

Negruţiu, a pianist from Romania, said he and Catron have performed at University of Illinois Springfield, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and now in Carbondale as part of their Midwestern tour.

“It brings me a lot of joy to collaborate with [Catron],” Negruţiu said.

Negruţiu received his master’s degree with first class honors from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin, Ireland.

“This is my first time in SIU, I know SIU has a very good school of music,” Negruţiu said

‘Dumb and Dumber To’ fails after 20 years Jacob Pierce

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

“Dumb and Dumber” is a popular culture phenomenon.

While doing wonderful at the box office, it did very poorly when it came to critical reviews. Yet, since its release in 1994 it has become a cult classic.

Age does not matter. Everyone knows the lines. Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne will always be America’s favorite idiots.

That is why “Dumber and Dumber To” (Rated PG-13; 110 min) is such a disappointment to fans of the original.

“Dumber and Dumber To” was directed by Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly and stars Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Rob Riggle and Laurie Holden.

Harry Dunne, played by Jeff Daniels, is in trouble. One of his kidneys is failing and he needs a donor soon. After waking from a 20-year-old joke coma, Lloyd, played by Carrey, joins in a hunt for a kidney. They soon learn Harry has an adult daughter and she could possibly be a candidate for the transplant.

Jennifer Lawrence was a self-proclaimed fan of the original movie. Having sway in Hollywood now, it was not unusual for her to ask for a cameo.

Right before the release of this film, Lawrence used her sway to get the cameo removed. The story behind this was she said her cameo did not fit in the film. This should have been a big indicator of how awful this movie was going to be.

For the most part, this sequel falls under the type that tries to emulate everything from the original. It is almost like these movies are saying, “Hey, remember how amazing we were in the original?” They copy themselves at every chance they get, winking at the audience the entire way.

The problem with this type of sequel is it can mirror the original all it wants, but will never have the same heart. Jokes from the original return, yet they never hit the same marks as before.

Even when this movie tries to do something different, it misses on many levels. The Farrelly brothers’ directing should take the blame. Since the original, their style changed for the worse. They went from oddball comedy placed into a realistic world to a terrible imitation of the Zucker brothers’ slapstick comedy.

They place Harry and Lloyd into a world of ridiculousness. While the world of everything being slapstick works for movies like “Anchorman,” it ruins the unique characteristics of Harry and Lloyd. The two characters only work if you have people from the normal world thrown off by the almost unreal level of stupidity.

This film does hit on a few levels. To call it a complete waste of time is misleading. Some of the jokes do hit. The return of Carrey and Daniels back to these characters brings something wonderful as well.

This movie is what it is. You pretty much get what this film is going to give you after watching the trailer. Do a few good jokes make a movie viewable? Do not waste full ticket price on this, but seeing a matinee is not the worst decision ever.

SIU School of Music: upcoming performances Monday Guest violinist Julieta Mihal recital The School of Music features violinist Julieta Mihal for a guest recital from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Old Baptist Foundation Recital Hall.

Mihal is an associate professor of violin at Western Illinois University and is also a member of the Julstrom String Quartet. She has performed in more than five countries as a solo violinist and her performances have been broadcast on public radio stations in the Midwest.

The Illinois Times described her sound as a “pure and delicately strong tone,” and reviews of her concerts have been featured in issues of the NewsGazette and The Edge.

She teaches graduate and undergraduate students at Western from different parts of the world and held master classes in Arizona State University in Tempe and the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.

Tuesday Student composers concert The Student Composers Concert will take place from 8 to 9 p.m. at the Old Baptist Foundation Recital Hall.

The concert will feature undergraduate and graduate students from the School of Music who will showcase original compositions in the form of solos or collaborations.

School of Music lecturer Armando Bayolo is the organizer of the event.

Wednesday Jenna Mee Dosch collaborative recital Jenna Mee Dosch, a graduate student in the School of Music, will be performing a collaborative recital from 4 to 6 p.m at the Old Baptist Foundation Recital Hall.

The recital will also feature performances from Ben Bollero, Jenny Choo, Season Cowley, Ted Graham and Joseph Ryker as they collaborate with Dosch instrumentally.

Percussion Ensemble concert The SIU Percussion Ensemble will hold a concert from 8 to 10 p.m. in Altgeld Hall and features performances from percussion undergraduate and graduate students.

The group will perform various compositions and features an abundance of percussion instruments.

Altgeld Hall will provide a comfortable environment for

the performers and audience with an up close and personal feel and acoustics that are fit for a percussion group.

Thursday Studio Jazz Orchestra The SIU Jazz ensemble will play at the Shryock Auditorium from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Under the direction of Dick Kelley, SIU’s studio jazz orchestra is comprised of the highest level players in brass, woodwind and rhythm instruments, and plays a variety of songs from classic to modern jazz.

The band has also played for visiting jazz artists and records albums in SIU’s very own personal studio.

SJO, as well as the Lab Jazz Orchestra and SIU’s Jazz combos will also be playing in the 2015 jazz festival coming up in February.

Friday Marla Hansen masters collaborative piano recital Marla Hansen, a master’s student in the School of Music, will be performing a Collaborative Masters piano recital from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Old School Baptist Foundation recital hall.

Collaborating musicians performing at the recital have not been announced yet.

A degree in collaborating piano prepares students for a career in vocal coaching, vocal accompanist and teaching of collaborative piano and focuses on the relationship between the pianist and other performers.

SIU Flute Choir fall concert The School of Music will have a Flute Choir concert from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church. The concert will feature the flute ensemble as the sole performers of the event.

The ensemble is directed by Doulas Worthen, professor of flute and music history, and includes musical arrangements of The Planet Suite of Mars and Venus by Gustav Holst and Kokoteli

by Robert Rains. The flute choir will also be performing several holiday songs and songs fitting with the season.

Four different kinds of flutes will be featured during the performance including the piccolo flute, alto flute, bass flute and one contrabass flute.

The introduction of the contrabass flute will be a unique sound and the choir is lucky to have that addition and range, Worthen said.

Season of skin Jordan Duncan

@JordanDuncanDE | Daily Egyptian

The smell of blood accompanies a knife opening flesh in a deer-processing warehouse as the owners prepare for shotgun season.

Whitetails Deer Processing, a business in Carbondale, will have an increase in business this shotgun season—which starts Nov. 21—according to co-owner Mike Greer.

Greer said the company, located on New Hope Lane, will bring in approximately 200 more deer this shotgun season than in other seasons.

He said Illinois hunting attracts people from around the country, and this keeps them busy.

“Shotgun season gets here and we

could have another five to eight people for a minute,” Greer said before cutting meat for a client Friday night. “We could have deer stacked up pretty high in there. Kind of like a farmer. All depends on the weather, seems like.”

Zach Hill, co-owner of the processing plant, said a snowy season might affect business.

“Last year was a bad year,” Hill said.

“The first season was so hot and the second was a blizzard. We only had half a dozen during bow season.”

Hill said he processes an average of 300 deer for the whole year, with nearly 200 from shotgun seasons.

“It keeps us working pretty much around the clock,” he said. “With bow season, me and Mike, we usually do it ourselves.”

nning Hill said he usually only takes 50 to 90 deer during bow season.

“A lot of bow hunters cut them up themselves,” Hill said. “There’s just so many shotgun hunters.”

He said shotgun seasons being shorter brings a higher concentration of hunters.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources website lists shotgun season in two waves, the first starting Nov. 21 through Nov. 23, and again Dec. 4 through Dec. 7.

Hill also said hunting is more costeffective than buying meat from a grocery store. A resident hunting permit costs $26 for archery and $42.50 for shotgun season. He said he can get 60 pounds of meat from a deer.

Wal-Mart lists its price for 73 percent lean ground beef at $3.98 per pound in Carbondale. At that rate, buying 60 pounds of meat would cost nearly $240.

Whitetail Deer Processing charges $90 to cut and process a deer. It charges other fees for extra cuts and an additional $20 to field-dress them.

Wade Smith, a bow hunter from Gainesville, Fla., said he took his deer to be processed without field dressing.

“You can do it yourself but it’s easier to just take it over there,” said Smith. “The guy will have it froze and put it in the cooler and haul it home and you’re done.

Two weeks of hunting you get home and you’re ready to take a break; you want to go to sleep.”

Smith, 42, said for the past five years, he has driven with a large group 14 hours to hunt in Illinois because the deer are larger than elsewhere.

“We like to hunt big deer and this is where they’re at is up North,” Smith said. “Florida don’t got big antlers and big deer. We got a lot of deer, just not the big ones like you got.”

Greer said the deer in Illinois are larger than other regions because they eat from farms.

“Illinois’ deer eat very well,” Greer said. “We have good crops. All of our farmers are growing alfalfa grasses and the deer love that so they’re right out there harvesting before the farmers can.”

Patrick Upchurch, a hunter from Carrollton, Ga., said he has seen hunting groups from Alabama and Texas. He also said southern Illinois is a major attraction for hunters.

“Local guys don’t think it is,” Upchurch said. “I got maybe 150,000 acres of public land within an hour’s drive. Y’all have 2 million acres of public land in an hour and a half drive from this spot. So it’s just amazing. And it’s all farm. Georgia doesn’t farm. We just grow pine trees.”

Assistant athletic director runs more than a department Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Some men unwind with hobbies such as woodcarving, car restoration or bowling. One SIU employee likes to spend his time away from the office running.

Matt Vincent, assistant athletic director for compliance, took up long distance running while he was in college and completed the New York City Marathon on Nov. 2.

Battling against 20 mph winds in New York, Vincent completed the race in five hours and 18 minutes, more than three hours behind men’s winner, Wilson Kipsang of Kenya.

Vincent started his running while training as an offensive lineman at Saint Mary’s College and New Mexico State from 2001 to 2004. Vincent said he started out running 20 minutes on a treadmill, but increased his time to push himself. Twenty minutes turned into 25. Twenty-five minutes turned into 30,

SIU gets last look at potential opponents

which progressed to 40.

After hitting those time goals, Vincent decided he should try a race. He ran a 5K and then a 10K. He ran a half marathon in Tupelo, Miss., in 2010 and was set up with a trainer, Lynn Holland.

Vincent ran his first marathon, the Walt Disney World Marathon, in 2011.

Holland, who lives in Tupelo, said he has never met Vincent in person and gave him training routines online.

Holland’s regimen starts 17 weeks before the race, running 20 miles a week. From there, the mileage increases, hitting 40 to 50 miles a week at the end of training.

Holland, who has completed seven marathons during his 35 years in long distance running, said his program is similar to those of other top-level marathon runners.

He modifies the training when he needs to.

“Lots of people running marathons today are not running 40 miles a week,” Holland said. “But when

they’re done, they feel like they’ve been hit by a car.”

Vincent said he doesn’t feel post-race effects until about two days after. He said walking up stairs is not fun.

To maximize his training, Vincent makes sure he eats the right foods. Chicken and pasta give him the carbohydrates and energy to keep running.

Senior cross-country runner Oscar Medina has given Vincent tips and said eating properly is one the most important parts of his preparation.

Medina said he loves to eat chocolate, but has to enjoy the treat in moderation to be at his best.

“You have to stay away from junk food and sugar because it slows you down and it slows down your recovery,” Medina said.

During training, Vincent said he burns around 4,000 calories a day, so he tries to consume nearly 6,000 calories. He said chicken is a mainstay of his diet, but isn’t too picky and will eat anything else his wife cooks.

“I try to eat what I use and not eat too much,” he said.

As part of his routine, he always eats spaghetti the night before the race.

Other parts of his routine include wearing the same pair of Brooks Ghost running shoes and long-sleeve Ole Miss shirt. He was the assistant director of compliance at Ole Miss before he came to SIU in 2013.

In addition to New York City and Disney World, he has also completed the Big Sur International Marathon in Big Sur, Caif., and the Chicago Marathon.

Vincent said he plans to run every two years, starting with the Vancouver USA Marathon in Vancouver, Wash. in 2016. Next he will return to Disney World to complete the Goofy Challenge, which is a half-marathon, followed by a full the next day.

His ultimate goal for running is to run the Boston Marathon in 2020.

Salukis lose to Billikens late

Aaron Graff

@Aarongraff_DE | Daily Egyptian

SIU volleyball got one last look at two teams that clinched a spot in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

The Salukis (15-14, 9-8) extended their winstreak to five matches by upsetting the Missouri State Bears (17-10, 10-5) 3-2 Friday. The streak was snapped with a 3-0 loss to the Wichita State Shockers (17-8, 11-4) Saturday.

MSU defeated SIU 3-0 Oct. 18 in Davies Gym, but the Salukis evened the season series.

SIU trailed 2-1 and won 3-2 for the second time in three matches.

Four Saluki players had more than 10 kills.

Junior hitter Taylor Pippen led the way with 12. Freshman outside hitter Abby Barrow, redshirt freshman outside hitter Andrea Estrada, and freshman outside hitter Nellie Fredriksson all had 11.

“What’s good about that method of production is the even distribution,” coach Justin Ingram said. “Everybody pulling almost equal weight is hard to do. Certainly for opponents it’s hard to defend, because you’re not in the mind of one person.”

Saturday the Salukis had no players reach 10 kills. Sophomore setter/hitter Meg Viggars led the team with 8.

Ingram said SIU was not prepared for Wichita.

“They went on a serving run and really deflated our everything,” Ingram said. “Our response to that wasn’t fast enough.”

WSU defeated SIU 3-0 Oct. 17 and swept the season series against the Salukis.

Ingram said the Salukis will likely face the Bears, Shockers or the Northern Iowa Panthers (18-9, 12-3) in the first round of the tournament.

“We definitely knew we’d see [MSU or WSU] again,” Pippen said. “Going into the conference tournament, we wanted to play well so we had some more confidence.”

The Salukis have their final regular season match against the University of Evansville Purple Aces (8-20, 4-12) 7 p.m., Friday in Evansville.

SIU men’s basketball lost its regular-season opener 62-59 in heartbreaking fashion at St. Louis University on Saturday.

The Salukis led for most of the game until Billiken junior Austin McBroom hit a three pointer to give his team the lead with less than 11 seconds left in the second half. The guard led all players with 24 points and knocked down 5 three-point field goals.

Following McBroom’s three pointer, the two teams traded free throws until a last-second

inbound pass by sophomore Tyler Smithpeters was intercepted by SLU and time expired.

Saturday was SIU’s first game against a Division I opponent of the season. SLU is coming off a year in which it reached the NCAA tournament but returned just four upperclassmen. The Billikens started just one of their eight freshmen, guard Davell Roby, who had 4 points and 3 assists in 20 minutes.

Sophomore Sean O’Brien said before the game the matchup would be a good indication of the Salukis’ potential.

O’Brien led SIU with 15 points and 12

rebounds. The forward had a career-high in rebounds and notched his first double-double as a Saluki. Beane poured in 14 points but was limited by foul trouble in the second half.

SIU led 37-33 at halftime behind 10 points from both Beane and O’Brien. McBroom knocked down 3 three pointers had 12 points going in to intermission. Billken turnovers led to 16 points for the Salukis in the first half, but in the second half, SIU scored just 4 points off of SLU’s mistakes.

Herrin knocks off Carterville Thomas Donley

@tdonleyde | Daily Egyptian

The last time Herrin High School and Carterville High School met on the football field, most current high school students had not yet been born.

Saturday afternoon, the two schools met in Carterville with a trip to the Illinois High School Association football semifinals on the line.

Herrin made the most of its opportunity to advance to its second ever semifinal game on the strength of an explosive fourth quarter.

The Tigers (11-1) came away with a 28-7 victory over the previously undefeated Lions (11-1).

Defense was the story of the game for both sides. Both teams combined for nine turnovers, six caused by Herrin. After three quarters, the score was tied at seven apiece.

Carterville’s best chance to score in the first half came after an interception by senior defensive end Brayden Bisaillon deep in Herrin territory, but junior Jeff Giffey’s 30-yard field goal attempt fell short.

The lone touchdown of the first half came on the next play when senior fullback Brent Milner ran 80 yards into the end zone on the next play. Herrin took a 7-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Junior quarterback Blake Hicks tied

l ewiS M arien

the game with a 5-yard touchdown run with 6:50 to play in the third quarter.

After a sequence of five possessions that resulted in four turnovers, Carterville pinned Herrin at its own 11 with nine minutes remaining.

On the first play of the possession,

Milner ran for an 89-yard touchdown to pull the Tigers ahead for good.

Senior running back Chase Merrill added a 15-yard touchdown run to pad the lead with 6:31 left in the game, and senior linebacker Chris Butler returned Hicks’s fourth interception of the game

d aily e Gyptian

for a touchdown to make the score 28-7.

Milner finished the game with 229 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

The Tigers finished the game with 305 total rushing yards.

After the game, Milner praised his offensive line.

“We had really good blocking,” Milner said. “I wouldn’t have went anywhere without the blocking.”

Bisaillon led Carterville with 126 yards on the ground.

The Lions entered the game averaging 41.5 points per game offensively.

This is the first year IHSA has placed Carterville in Class 4A. The Lions’ previous 12 playoff appearances had come at the 3A level.

Carterville coach Dennis Drust praised his team’s effort for the whole season.

“Just look at the record and the accomplishments,” Drust said.

“The bump to 4A and what we did at 4A, I think, speaks for itself. The kids have been focused all year.”

The win was Herrin’s 11th of the season, a school record. The Tigers will face the winner of Bloomington Central Catholic High School and Rochester High School in next weekend’s semifinal game.

Herrin senior Josh Haynes, who had two interceptions in the quarterfinal game, said the proximity of the two towns made for a unique atmosphere.

“A lot of our friends were on that team, and it’s kind of disappointing to see them lose,” Haynes said. “It was a great atmosphere having so many fans come out here to see who is the best team in Williamson County.”

Change wouldn’t hurt SIU football program The SIU football team may have one more game left, but after yesterday’s loss the Salukis’ playoff hopes are as dead as disco.

SIU needed to win seven games against Division I opponents to become playoff eligible, and after Saturday’s 40-21 shellacking from Northern Iowa, that is no longer a possibility.

After the Salukis’ 4-1 start against Division I teams, it seemed that SIU was a shoe-in for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, but alas, the Salukis will get an early end to the season.

So who is to blame for this disappointment? It shouldn’t be the defense. While the statistics do not show it, the defense has done everything it can to keep the offense in games.

The offense on the other hand, has not done its part. The blame should not sit on the players’ shoulders however; it should sit on the coaches’.

If head coach Dale Lennon woke up feeling like he was on the hot seat Sunday morning, it’s because he probably should.

Missing the playoffs this season is unacceptable.

This is arguably one of the most talented teams to grace the Saluki Stadium field in the Lennon era. The team can boast an AllAmerican tight end who is probably on his way to the NFL, a running back who cruises to 100-yard games with ease and a defense that has the ability to be stifling.

So what went wrong?

Senior running back Malcolm Agnew went down with an ankle injury Oct. 18 against Youngstown State. While an injury to the team’s leading rusher is no coach’s fault, it quickly became

clear just how much this team relies on the run.

It is fine to base the offense around the rushing attack, as long as the best rusher is on the field.

Redshirt freshman running back Cameron Walter made the rush work against Missouri State, but that was the one time SIU ran well without Agnew.

After Agnew was hurt, the team continued to run the ball to no avail. That’s like burning yourself taking a pizza out of the oven, but doing the same thing again. It’s insane.

Sophomore quarterback Ryan West should not have started a game this season. Junior quarterback Mark Iannotti was on his way to a nice season. He was added to College Football Performance Award’s watch list for player of the year and tied a school record for touchdown passes in a game with 6 against Southeast Missouri State. Iannotti was solid until the game against North Dakota State Oct. 11. A poor performance against Youngstown State seemingly made the coaching staff fall out of love with Iannotti.

On Oct. 25 against Indiana State, Iannotti turned the ball over twice in bad field position to earn himself a seat on the bench.

West came in for Iannotti and was competent against Missouri State. He threw 3 touchdowns, but only one those was for more than 6 yards.

Saturday against Northern Iowa West showed he was not the quarterback SIU needed. West threw 2 interceptions in awful field position.

His second interception was taken into the end zone for a Panther touchdown and seemed like it would get him benched—his situation was just like Iannotti’s when he was benched against Indiana State.

West, however, remained in the game until he threw a third interception in the second half.

Iannotti entered the game and played pretty well in relief of West, reminding everyone why he was the starter to begin the season.

Why West remained in the game is a

S arah G ardner

mystery; he giftwrapped the victory for UNI. What standard this university holds its football team to is unclear.

In the Jerry Kill era of Saluki football, from 2001 to 2007, SIU made the FCS playoffs five straight times. Since Lennon has taken over, the Salukis have twice gone to the postseason, and those were the two seasons after Kill’s departure, so the teams were mostly made up of Kill’s players.

The teams Lennon recruited have not won in the post season. Lennon’s 48 wins is good for fourth all-time at SIU, but only two wins came in the post season. Lennon is one of three SIU coaches to win 10 games in a season. His regular season accomplishments are nice, but teams don’t play to win

d aily e Gyptian

regular season games, they play for championships.

Lennon hasn’t won a conference title since 2009.

It is unlikely Lennon and SIU will part ways after this season, he signed a contract extension through 2016 earlier this year. Lennon will have at least one more season to prove himself.

The university needs to decide what it wants this football team to be.

If it is comfortable with the team coming up short of the playoffs year after year, then Lennon and his staff are exactly what the team needs.

If SIU wants to return to the glory days when the postseason was an expectation, not a hope, then it should look elsewhere for the coaching staff to run its football program.
