New peer program seeks to raise grades and retention ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

This semester, University Housing started a new student leadership position — Academic Peer Advocates — to student housing in addition to the traditional resident assistants.

APAs are responsible for planning programs to help residents with academics. They include study sessions and performing interventions for students with academic problems. The advocates receive room and board, along with a stipend.

The university hired 32 advocates this semester. One more will be added in Wall and Grand next semester.

Elizabeth Scally, associate director of housing, said students were selected based on academic performance, problem solving and communication skills.

“The APA position is a very important part of a larger movement towards focusing on retention,” said Ethan Johnson, a graduate assistant for academic initiatives.

Johnson is responsible for supervising the advocates and assigning help for struggling students.

Johnson said the advocates do not have access to students’ grades or attendance records, but they are sent a list of ‘students of concern.’ There have been more than 1,000 interventions so far this semester, Johnson said.

However, students do not have to be in need of an intervention to meet with their advocates.

Abbott Hall APA Jesse Galaway, a sophomore from Monticello studying mechanical engineering, said students approach him more often than he expected.

Galaway said he likes sharing his own experiences and advice with new students.

“This has helped me relate to people more positively when it comes to different conversations,” he said.

Yenitza Melgoza | D AILY E GYPTIAN Jesse Galaway, APA at Abbott Hall and sophomore from Monticello studying mechanical engineering poses in front of his bedroom on Tuesday. “It’s interesting being a part of the start up program for the first time,” he said.

He works between 10 and 35 hours a week, depending on how many interventions he has.

Cecelia Cox, a freshman from Rockford studying business management, said when she was struggling with a math class, her APA helped her find study sessions

and a tutor.

Jamie Gustafson, the APA for Brown and Steagall Halls said, “Sometimes students can be shy and hesitant to go to resources to get help with their classes. Having an APA brings resources to students and encourages them to use them.”

Gustafson, a sophomore from Oak Forest studying human nutrition and dietetics, said the job has benefited her own studies.

“It keeps me on track and it keeps me accountable for my own things,” she said.

It is still difficult to directly measure

the success of the program, Johnson said. Scally said housing will continue assessment and changes of the program as the year goes on.

US officials defend decades-old refugee resettlement program HANNAH ALLAM MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU

Obama administration officials pushed back Tuesday at an effort by more than half the nation’s governors to block entry for Syrian refugees, saying the campaign has no legal grounding and threatens a decadesold tradition of bipartisan support for giving sanctuary to the world’s most vulnerable.

U.S. officials gave several briefings throughout the day to counter a Republican-led movement to bar resettlement for Syrian refugees based on fears that extremists will infiltrate the program and carry out attacks like the ones in France and Lebanon last week. Resettlement personnel have stressed that stringent security vetting already is in place — each case takes around two years to process and only about half the applicants are accepted

in the end.

The explanations so far haven’t satisfied at least 30 Republican and one Democratic governor — who have adopted stances ranging from demands for a federal review of the program to vows to “suspend” resettlement of Syrians in their states.

Meanwhile, Republican congressional leaders, feeling pressure from constituents and eager to put political heat on President Barack Obama, moved Tuesday to restrict and even bar Syrian refugees from entering the United States. They began crafting legislation and spoke of attaching it to a bill to keep the government running after Dec. 11.

If no spending bill is approved by that date, parts of the government could shut down. While that’s highly unlikely, the prospect at least created a deadline for acting on the refugee issue.

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

Many Republicans embraced calls

by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to temporarily suspend the refugee program.

Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, using language similar to other Republican governors, wrote in a letter Monday to Obama that it makes no sense for the United States “to allow people into our country who have the avowed desire to harm our communities, our institutions and our people.”

The announcements were prompted by reports that at least one suspect in the massacre Friday in Paris landed in Europe by using an assumed Syrian identity and entering Greece alongside refugees in October. The man’s real identity has yet to be confirmed.

Authorities have identified five of the eight suspected militants behind the Paris attack as French nationals.

6 quintillion gallons of water are hiding in the Earth’s crust DEBORAH NETBURN LOS ANGELES TIMES

Most of us think of the water cycle as something that occurs above ground — water falls from the sky, evaporates back into the atmosphere and then condenses into rain once again.

But above-ground water is just a fraction of our planet’s water story.

Hidden in the Earth’s crust are vast stores of what is known as “groundwater” — water that fell from the sky and then trickled into the cracks and crevices between the sand, gravel and rocks beneath our feet.

We can’t see this groundwater, but more than 2 billion people across the globe rely on it for drinking water every day. In arid areas it is pumped out of the ground to grow crops, and it also plays an important environmental role, keeping streams and rivers running in times of drought.

Back in the 1970s a team of scientists estimated how much of the planet’s water lies buried beneath the ground, but that calculation had not been updated for 40 years — until now.

In a new study in Nature Geoscience, researchers took another stab at estimating how much water is stored in our planet’s crust, this time with tens of thousands more data points.

They also looked at the age of that water, or how long it had been underground, to understand how quickly it can be replenished as humans keep pulling it out.

“Our maps and estimates show where the groundwater is quickly being renewed and where it is old and stagnant and nonrenewable,” said Tom Gleeson, a hydrogeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada who led the study.

Gleeson and his team report that there are 6 quintillion gallons of groundwater in the upper 1.2 miles of the Earth’s crust. If you could magically pump it all out of the ground and spread it across the continents, it would form a layer of water 600 feet high, or twice the height of the Statue of Liberty.

To derive that number, the scientists used computer models that take into account 40,000 distinct measurements of how much water can be stored in various types of rocks across the planet.

The researchers were also interested in the age distribution of that underground water. Previous studies have shown that water that has made its way into the ground could have fallen from the sky as little as a day ago, or as long as millions — even billions — of years ago.

In particular, the scientists wanted to know how much of the Earth’s groundwater was “modern,” meaning it had entered the ground system less than 50 years ago.

Quantifying the amount of young groundwater is crucial for a variety reasons, they write. It is a more renewable groundwater resource than older “fossil” ground water, and is also more vulnerable to industrial or agricultural contamination.

To see how much of groundwater is “modern,” they decided to look at how much tritium had been found in groundwater across the globe. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that spiked in rain water approximately 50 years ago as a result of above-ground thermonuclear testing.

The team reviewed the scientific literature and eventually found 3,700 tritium measurements of groundwater from 55 countries.

From this data set they determined that just 5.6 percent of groundwater is less than 50 years old. That’s about enough water to cover a stop sign across the continents, if it was pumped out of the ground.

Gleeson said the finding that modern groundwater was such a small percentage of overall groundwater was the biggest surprise of the study.

In a News and Views article accompanying the paper, Ying Fan of Rutgers University, who was not involved in the work, writes that the team’s findings have several implications.

From a science perspective, it suggests that researchers in the future might look to the Earth’s ancient stores of water for information about our planet’s past. “(The study) hints at the sluggishness and the vastness of the world’s older groundwater stores, which may record the climate and tectonic history over centuries, millennia or even millions of years,” she writes.

She also thinks the results of this study could help inform how we treat the stores of modern or renewable water in the immediate future.

“This global view of groundwater will, hopefully, raise awareness that our youngest groundwater resources _ those that are most sensitive to anthropogenic and natural environmental change _ are finite,” she concludes.

Gleeson said the next step for his team is to take their new estimates of young groundwater and combine them with local estimates of groundwater use.

“We want to find out how long before we run out of this critical resource,” he said.

Caroyln Cole | Los Angeles Times People continue to pay tribute to those who died in the Paris attacks with candles, flowers, and notes like these seen at the Bataclan theater on Monday

French investigators believe another attacker could still be at large Henry CHu, riCHard a. Serrano and alexandra ZaviS | loS angeleS TimeS

Investigators believe that a second militant who played a direct role in last week’s assault on this storied city could still be at large, a U.S. law enforcement official said Tuesday, as authorities in France and Belgium scrambled to identify the potential assailant.

Seven militants blew themselves up or were killed by police during Friday’s deadly attacks, three of them around a sports stadium, three inside a concert hall and one outside a cafe.

An international manhunt is underway for an eighth suspect, Salah Abdeslam, who is believed to have played an important role in the attacks. One of his brothers, Brahim, has been named as the militant who blew himself up on the cafe’s terrace.

Some witnesses placed the two brothers in a car used to open fire on a string of Paris eateries, said the U.S. official, who was briefed on the ongoing investigation but was not authorized to speak publicly about it. Others said there were three men inside the vehicle, not two.

“They didn’t see a lot,” the official said, “except some insisted there was a third person in the car.”

Investigators do not have a name or facial description for the potential suspect, the official added.

France says Islamic State conceived the bombing-andshooting rampage in Paris, which killed at least 129 people who were enjoying a night out in cafes and restaurants and at a rock concert and a soccer match.

French President Francois Hollande has declared that his country is “at war” with the extremist group and has asked lawmakers to give the government broader powers to counter imminent threats to national security.

French warplanes pounded Islamic State targets in Syria late Tuesday, the third straight night of airstrikes against the group. French

Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told TF1 TV that 10 fighter jets were taking part in the bombardments.

He said the number would increase to 36 when a French aircraft carrier reaches the area.

There were also more raids Tuesday on locations across France that are suspected of links to extremist activity, though not necessarily tied directly to the attacks on Paris.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told French radio that 128 locations were targeted overnight Monday, on top of 168 raids the night before. He said the government was mobilizing 115,000 police officers, gendarmes and soldiers to protect the public.

Officials in France and Belgium, where many of the Paris attackers either lived in or had connections to a Brussels neighborhood known to harbor radical Islamists, are said to be focusing their attention on a Belgian national named Abdelhamid Abaaoud as the potential ringleader.

He is believed to be in Syria, but is not thought to be the militant heard in an audio recording taking credit for the attacks on behalf of Islamic State, according to the U.S. law enforcement source. An analysis of the recording points to Fabien Clain, a Frenchman has been linked to previous plots dating back to 2012 and is also thought to be in Syria.

“It’s him,” the U.S. official said.

Investigators believe that at least some of the Paris attackers posed as Belgian businessmen when they entered France in the days before Friday’s rampage, the official said.

A cell phone thought to have been used by the militants has been recovered, the official added.

On Tuesday, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office charged two men arrested over the weekend, Mohammed Amri and Hamza Attou, with being part of the plot.

Lawyers for the two suspects

acknowledge that their clients drove to Paris to pick up the fugitive Abdeslam and bring him to Brussels early Saturday. But they say the men deny any role in the attacks.

Amri’s lawyer, Xavier Carrette, said Abdeslam called his client Friday night asking for the ride, but made no mention of the attacks, the Belgian broadcaster RTBF reported. Attou went to keep Amri company, according to his attorney, Carine Couquelet.

Belgian media reported that ammonium nitrate, an ingredient often found in homemade explosives, was found at the men’s residences. But prosecutors said tests were still being conducted to determine the nature of the materials seized and cautioned against drawing any hasty conclusions.

The developments in the fastmoving investigation came as Russian security officials confirmed for the first time that a bomb brought down a Russian commercial airliner over Egypt last month, killing all 224 people on board.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for that attack as well as for the assault on Paris, sparking increasing alarm over the group’s apparent growing ambition, sophistication and reach in its terror campaign.

On Tuesday, a soccer game between Germany and the Netherlands was abruptly canceled because of a bomb threat. Police said they had “concrete evidence” that someone wanted to set off an explosive device at the stadium in Hanover. Another bomb threat about an hour earlier proved to be a false alarm, they said.

U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry, visiting Paris in a show of solidarity with France, met with Hollande on Tuesday to discuss how to increase the pressure on Islamic State. Hollande will travel to Washington next week to hold talks with President Barack Obama.

NFL: America’s worst monopoly EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

The National Football League is ruining the sport of American football.

The evolution of the NFL has deteriorated the sport into a commercial based flag-fest that turns the 60-minute games into three and a half hour snooze fests.

That being said, I love the sport of football. I grew up on the sidelines of Huskie Stadium in Dekalb watching my father coach the DeKalb Barbs every fall Friday night. It teaches discipline and teamwork, and I would not be who I am without the sport.

Football is unique, the clock runs when the ball is not in play.

According to a Wall Street Journal study in 2010, only 11 minutes of football is actually played in an average NFL game.

That means in a 15-minute quarter there is less than three minutes of football played.

Compare that to the amount of commercials being aired during the broadcast. The Journal’s study found commercials took nearly an hour out of a scheduled threehour broadcast.

Commercial breaks take up nearly one-third of the broadcast, compared

EDITORIAL CARTOON

to 3 percent for actual football.

This week’s Monday Night Football game between the Houston Texans and the Cincinnati Bengals did not end until nearly 11 p.m. central time. The Monday night football countdown pregame show started at 5 p.m.

The NFL rule book requires eight commercial breaks per half, but a commercial timeout is taken for eight different reasons. t A timeout called by either team t Instant replay stoppage t Game stoppage after a score t Game stoppage after a kickoff or punt (excluding the opening kickoff of each half ) t Game stoppage after a turnover t Injury timeout t The end of the first and third quarters t And the infamous twominute warning The two-minute warning got its start in pre-1960 NFL when game clocks were not required.

The referee would stop the game in order to inform both coaches how much time was left. “[The two-minute warning]

had become an important strategic part of the game, helped build excitement during game-closing drives and offered broadcasters an opportunity to sell an extra set of commercials,” said Ethan Trex of Mental Floss, an online magazine.

The NCAA does not have a twominute warning anymore and they still seem to be functioning. The only reason for the NFL applying the two-minute warning is to squeeze in as much commercial time as possible.

It does this because huge TV contracts line the pockets of NFL owners and other front office types, at the expense of young men throwing themselves at each other on any given Sunday.

The NFL is hoping to achieve $25 billion annual revenue by 2027.

Currently media and television rights to broadcast games cost $5 billion, to get to $25 billion annual income USA Today predicts TV contracts will skyrocket to $15 to 17 billion.

Not only do you hardly get to watch any football, but the evolution of the NFL rulebook makes it difficult for the casual viewer to understand the game.

Does anyone actually know what a catch is in the NFL? The New York Giants were losing to the New England Patriots late in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Giants’ quarterback, Eli Manning, threw a pass in the endzone to wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham Jr. caught the ball with both feet down, the ball was then swatted out of Beckham Jr.’s hands shortly after and the play was ruled incomplete.

Rewind to Week 5 in the NFL. The Detroit Lions were on the two-yard line when quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a slant route to wide receiver Golden Tate. Tate caught the ball, and then crossed the goalline. The ball was quickly knocked out of his hands by a Chicago Bear defender, much like the Beckham Jr. catch.

The NFL subsection on touchdowns that most relates to these plays is as follows: “The ball is on, above, or behind the plane of the opponents’ goal line (extended) and is in possession of a runner who has advanced from the field of play into the end zone.”

Now, whether either player

established themselves as a runner is open for interpretation, but the similarity of these two catches is baffling. The only difference is one was ruled a touchdown and the other was not.

That’s not the only thing confusing the casual fans of football.

The multitude of flags slows the game down. I know I’m not the only one getting tired of seeing Ed Hochuli’s veiny triceps every time he signals an automatic first down on defensive pass interference penalty.

There are eight different variations of the “delay of game” penalty, which includes, “Repeatedly snapping the ball before the referee can assume normal position.”

So not only do we have to wait for the refs to get to their spots, but you also might not even understand the penalty after it’s called.

Moving forward, I don’t know what we can do about it. Unless we have another professional football league emerge, much like the United States Football League tried in 1983, I don’t think we have any other choice but to watch college football Saturday mornings.

Charlie Sheen has been HIV-positive for four years STEPHEN BATTAGLIO Los Angeles Times

Actor Charlie Sheen is publicly acknowledging that he has been HIV-positive for four years.

Sheen told Matt Lauer during a live interview on Tuesday’s “Today” show that he is revealing his condition in order to end extortion threats that have cost him millions of dollars.

The “Two and a Half Men” star said he was given the HIV diagnosis four years ago when he entered the hospital concerned about migraines and night sweats. “I thought I had a brain tumor,” he said.

Nervous and stuttering throughout the interview, held live in the “Today” studio, Sheen

said, “It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point of one’s life.”

Sheen confided his condition to several people in his inner circle, some of whom demanded payment to remain silent.

“We’re talking about shakedowns,” he said.

He confirmed a story of a prostitute who took a cellphone picture of his anti-retroviral medications and threatened to sell it to the tabloids.

Sheen said he is no longer going to pay the extortion demands.

“I release myself from this prison today,” he said.

Sheen said it was “impossible” for him to have transmitted the virus to a partner even though he has had unprotected sex.

Sheen’s physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga, appeared on “Today” and said the drugs have suppressed the virus. He said Sheen has an “undetectable level” of the virus in his blood.

“He does not have AIDS,” Huizenga declared.

The doctor said he is more concerned about depression and substance abuse related to Sheen’s response to learning he has HIV. Sheen said he was not “entirely sure” how he had contracted the virus.

Sheen, 50, is a Hollywood star whose resume includes such hits as “Wall Street” and “Platoon.”

But his best-known role is as the lothario on the long-running situation comedy “Two and a Half Men,” which for years made

him the highest paid star on television.

Sheen left the series in 2011 after a dispute with the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, and for a short time became a media folk hero who celebrated a debauched lifestyle. He told Lauer he did not connect his public meltdown to learning of his diagnosis.

Sheen’s last TV series, “Anger Management,” was canceled in 2014. He said he plans to work again and has made his HIVpositive condition known to the studios and producers whom he has discussed working with.

Both of Sheen’s ex-wives, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, have also been aware of his diagnosis for some time, the actor said.

Sports films can be one of the best genres to tell a good story because of the personal tales already occurring in athletics. It can also be full of stereotypes, awkwardly placed themes and uncreative ideas.

“Woodlawn,” directed by Andrew Erwin and Jon Erwin and starring Caleb Castille and Sean Astin, tries to be different than other football and Christian movies, but falls for all the same problems.

It is the 1970s and Woodlawn High School is one of the first schools to integrate black and white students.

With this comes an integrated football team. And while the team has problems at first, a local religious man makes everything right.

The rise of a talented running back and the team coming together has given the entire town hope that racism will be nonexistent one day.

“Woodlawn” shows the same exact plot, themes and ideas as “Remember the Titans,” but with more emphasis on God and less on originality.

Movies like this should be simple — people are angry, dislike each other, bonding happens and finally everyone comes together. This is not creative, but it’s at least a start.

However, the movie skips steps.

There is no bonding, there are barely even characters disliking each other.

The film gives one quick religious speech and every individual miraculously forgets about their hate.

The only good aspect of this film is in the filming of football action.

“Woodlawn” actually manages to be innovative in how the cinematographer shoots football. It is gritty, realistic and personal.

Every scene feels like it is taking place on a battlefield, and every touchdown and tackle makes the viewer feel like he or she is there, an idea the rest of the film should have tried.

Iannotti named finalist for Offensive Player of the Year Brent Meske | @BrentMeskeDe

SIU football senior quarterback Mark Iannotti was added Tuesday to the STATS Football Championship Subdivision Offensive Player of the Year watch list.

Iannotti is one of 25 finalists for the award and the eighth in 12 years for SIU. Former tight end MyCole Pruitt was a finalist last season. Arkee Whitlock and Deji Karim both finished third in 2006 and 2009, respectively, the highest finish all-time for a Saluki.

Iannotti leads the FCS this season with 358.9 total offensive yards per game. He also leads the Missouri Valley Football Conference with 3,578 yards of total offense, 293.1 passing yards per game and 22 touchdown passes.

On Saturday, he became the SIU single-season record holder for total offense, breaking former quarterback and current co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Nick Hill’s 2007 record of 3,532 yards of total offense.

Iannotti needs 345 passing yards against Northern Iowa on Saturday to break the single-season SIU record for passing yards, also set by Hill in 2007 with 3,175.

He has thrown for more than 345 yards twice this season. The first was the season opening 48-47 loss at Indiana when he threw for a school record 517 yards. The second was in a 39-36 loss to Indiana State on Oct. 17 when he threw for 427. Iannotti also broke the 300-yard mark Saturday with 329 against Illinois State in a 42-21 loss.

Iannotti also set SIU and FCS records during Saturday’s 42-21 loss to Illinois State. He broke SIU’s single-game record for passes completed with 42 and passes attempted with 63. His 423 total yards of offense is fourth in SIU history. He now has three of the top four spots, all set this season. Iannotti also set an FCS record with 36 total offensive plays as an individual during the fourth quarter.

The quarterback is ranked second nationally in total offense, fourth in completions per game, fifth for passing yards, passing

yards per game, points responsible for per game, 11th in completion percentage and 12th in rushing yards for quarterbacks.

Voting will be next week and the award winner will be announced Jan. 8, 2016 in Frisco, Texas, at the STATS FCS Awards Banquet.

The award is voted on by more than 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters and writers.

Dome not so sweet dome evan Jones | @evanJones_De

The Saluki football team’s final two away games of the season are in domed stadiums.

SIU lost to South Dakota 34-31 at the DakotaDome on Nov. 7 and plays Northern Iowa at 4 p.m. Saturday at the UNI-Dome.

When the team practiced in Saluki Stadium before playing South Dakota and Northern Iowa, it played loud music and artificial crowd noise to replicate the amplified volume of playing a football game indoors.

Coach Dale Lennon has a background in dome games, as he coached for nine years at North Dakota before coming to SIU. “It’s all about your attitude going into the game,” he said. “If you make it a big deal it’s going to be.

The teams that came out there and just enjoyed the atmosphere were the teams that did the best.”

Lennon said the student section often tries to get to the opposing team.

“When I saw players getting involved with fans, I knew they weren’t going to play very well that game, and that would be to the home-field advantage,” he said.

Junior inside linebacker Chase Allen said the crowds proximity to the field makes it feel like the game is being played inside a basketball arena, making it harder to ignore the crowd.

When defensive coordinator David Elson sends in signals with non-verbal hand signs, Allen then relays the defensive schemes to his team on the field.

Usually teams are allowed to hold practice before game day, but SIU will not have the chance because of high school playoff games being held in the UNI-Dome on Friday.

“Each dome field is a little bit different,” Lennon

said. “You just don’t know what you’re getting into, even the field surface is different, you need to bring a few different pairs of cleats.”

Lennon said dome lighting can differ with some lights being located outside the field and others directly overhead, which can take some getting used to.

The Saluki fast-paced offense is communicated from the sidelines using hand signals, no matter the game location. The offense’s approach, however, differs at the line of scrimmage.

“When it gets to a point where the offensive line can’t hear me from five yards away, then we will go to a silent cadence,” senior quarterback Mark Iannotti said. “All the receivers and running backs look to the sidelines for the play call, so it’s my communication with the offensive line that we need to take care of.”

Lennon said snapping the ball using a nonverbal count is the toughest part about playing in domes. SIU uses a high-tempo offense and averages 64.8 more yards per game than any other Missouri Valley Football Conference team. The Salukis also lead the Valley with 36.9 points per game.

In order to gain yards and score, the Dawgs will need to focus on non-verbal communication before and during the snap. Iannotti said he is not a fan of the type of music typically played during practice times, such as rap and hip hop. He prefers country music, specifically Toby Keith.

“It might bring down the tempo of practice a little bit, but I would be hopping around having a good time,” he said. “The majority of the team would disagree with me, but I would have a good time.”

Other MVFC players nominated for the award are Illinois State senior running back Marshaun Coprich, South Dakota State sophomore wide receiver Jake Wieneke and North Dakota State senior offensive tackle Joe Haeg.

Injury riddled defensive line showing resilience teD WarD | @teDWarD_De

The average starting defensive lineman in the NFL plays about 700 to 800 snaps a season. Some Saluki defensive linemen might have that many snaps by the end of the season.

SIU football has had injuries across the defensive line so far this season, limiting the unit.

With 11 defensive lineman on the roster, only three of those players are defensive tackles. With one of them currently injured, it has led to some shuffling of positions.

Senior nose tackle TJ Beelen had a knee injury in a road loss to Western Illinois on Oct. 3, ending his year. Freshman Nate Sylvester shifted inside to nose tackle from defensive end to replace him; he also suffered a knee injury in practice three weeks ago.

Junior tight end Shaq Findlater was moved permanently to defensive end after the injuries.

His first game in the new position was against North Dakota State on Oct. 31 in a 35-29 loss.

Defensive coordinator David Elson said Findlater asked coach Dale Lennon if he could switch positions to help the team.

“He came to us and was very eager to help out wherever he was needed,” Elson said. “There’s

definitely a learning curve for him, but he’s progressing every day.”

Findlater did not have any catches at tight end, but has recorded two tackles on defense.

The team also lost senior defensive end Adam Brandt on Nov. 2 when Lennon released him from the team because of a violation of team rules and personal reasons.

Brandt had 20 tackles and one and a half sacks when he was dismissed.

Elson said the injuries and the dismissal are a concern, but it brings a next-man-up mentality to the team.

“You don’t really worry about it because of how many guys we have on our team that are capable of stepping in and filling those holes,” he said.

Senior nose tackle Raysean Golden said despite the injuries to his teammates, he doesn’t plan on slowing down.

“I do get a little exhausted during practice but [defensive line] coach [Austin] Flyger does an excellent job of pushing us to be our best,” he said. “I’m motivated to get after it every day and help the younger guys get ready for game day.”

The Salukis play their final game Saturday against Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
