International student enrollment peaks ANDREA GILS ONLINE MANAGING EDITOR

International฀student฀enrollment฀at฀ Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀ may฀reach฀new฀highs฀this฀fall. The฀record฀for฀accepted฀applications฀from฀international฀students฀was฀ 253฀in฀fall฀2011,฀and฀the฀director฀of฀ International฀Education฀and฀Services,฀ Zahir฀Ahmed,฀said฀the฀department฀has฀ accepted฀280฀students฀for฀this฀fall,฀ although฀fewer฀students฀could฀actually฀ enroll฀at฀Southeast. That฀total฀includes฀students฀coming฀ to฀Southeast฀for฀undergraduate฀and฀ graduate฀degrees฀as฀well฀as฀for฀the฀ Intensive฀English฀Program,฀which฀is฀ expected฀to฀have฀an฀enrollment฀of฀ more฀than฀150฀students฀for฀the฀first฀ time฀in฀the฀history฀of฀the฀International฀ Education฀and฀Services฀Department. “We฀always฀have฀a฀guess฀work฀about฀ how฀many฀will฀come,฀so฀we฀look฀at฀ trends฀and฀past฀years฀and฀stuff฀and฀ some฀of฀the฀student฀responses,”฀Ahmed฀ said.฀“What฀happens฀is฀that฀some฀will฀ get฀a฀visa฀and฀come฀and฀land฀in฀the฀US,฀ but฀their฀relatives฀or฀they฀have฀friends฀ in฀other฀cities฀and฀they฀talk฀them฀into฀ coming฀to฀their฀school฀instead฀of฀ever฀ coming฀here.฀So฀we฀have฀some฀loss฀ with฀that฀as฀well.฀That’s฀why฀[we฀expect]฀ maybe฀around฀240฀and฀250.” Ahmed฀said฀that฀when฀he฀started฀ working฀at฀the฀international฀office฀in฀ January฀2008฀there฀were฀200฀international฀students,฀which฀was฀expected฀to฀ increase฀progressively฀up฀to฀500฀ students฀within฀a฀five฀year-period.฀ International฀student฀enrollment฀for฀ spring฀2013฀was฀845,฀including฀ students฀from฀50฀different฀countries.฀ With฀the฀expected฀arrivals,฀the฀total฀ international฀student฀population฀could฀ increase฀to฀more฀than฀1,100฀students฀ this฀fall. “We฀are฀already฀in฀the฀state฀of฀ Missouri,฀by฀percentage฀of฀total฀ enrollment,฀we฀are฀the฀highest฀among฀ all฀state฀universities,”฀Ahmed฀said.฀ “Seven฀percent฀of฀our฀university฀

population฀is฀international.฀There฀are฀ other฀universities฀that฀are฀larger฀and฀ have฀more฀international฀students,฀but฀ the฀percentage฀is฀more฀or฀less฀five฀and฀a฀ half฀or฀six฀percent.” The฀international฀office฀has฀one฀ person฀to฀process฀admissions฀and฀ applications,฀and฀Ahmed฀said฀the฀ international฀office฀does฀not฀want฀to฀ overwhelm฀the฀staff.฀To฀increase฀ enrollment฀the฀office฀would฀have฀to฀ hire฀another฀person฀for฀admissions,฀ which฀is฀limited฀because฀of฀the฀lack฀of฀ resources.

“Cape Girardeau is not a diverse city, so we have to build communities within the campus. If the city was diverse, it would be easier to attract people from many different countries.” Zahir Ahmed “We฀are฀not฀really฀trying฀to฀grow฀the฀ university.฀We฀are฀trying฀to฀maintain฀it฀ about฀this฀size,฀so฀we฀really฀tend฀to฀hold฀ back฀in฀the฀number฀of฀students฀we฀ want.฀...฀We฀could฀have฀recruited฀a฀lot฀ more฀students฀this฀semester,฀but฀we฀ have฀to฀look฀at฀the฀resources฀we฀have,”฀ Ahmed฀said. “We฀sort฀of฀get฀an฀idea฀now฀about฀ how฀many฀people฀will฀graduate฀and฀ how฀many฀students฀are฀likely฀to฀ transfer฀out.฀Between฀100฀and฀150฀will฀ transfer฀out฀every฀time,”฀Ahmed฀said. Ahmed฀said฀that฀the฀international฀ office฀has฀several฀representatives฀in฀ multiple฀countries฀who฀recruit฀and฀ advise฀students฀to฀apply฀or฀not฀to฀apply฀ to฀different฀universities,฀including฀ Southeast,฀according฀to฀their฀interests฀ and฀qualifications. “What฀the฀agents฀do฀for฀us฀is฀screen฀ out฀people฀…฀and฀to฀become฀more฀ efficient,฀we฀train฀our฀agents.฀I฀fly฀over฀

there฀to฀India,฀to฀Sri฀Lanka,฀Japan,฀and฀I฀ train฀them฀into฀saying,฀‘OK,฀these฀are฀ the฀kind฀of฀students฀we฀want.’” Southeast฀has฀agents฀that฀recruit฀ students฀from฀United฀Emirates,฀Saudi฀ Arabia,฀Bangladesh,฀Sri฀Lanka,฀Japan,฀ China,฀Vietnam,฀Nepal,฀Nigeria,฀ Uganda,฀Gana฀and฀Zimbawe.฀Southeast฀ only฀has฀one฀agent฀in฀Europe. The฀biggest฀international฀student฀ groups฀in฀spring฀2013฀were฀students฀ coming฀from฀China,฀Saudi฀Arabia,฀Sri฀ Lanka฀and฀India. Competition฀between฀schools฀ exists. “Agencies฀are฀like฀Wal-Mart,”฀ Ahmed฀said.฀“I฀have฀to฀go฀there฀to฀make฀ sure฀the฀agent฀places฀Southeast฀ Missouri฀State฀University฀on฀the฀right฀ shelf.” One฀challenge฀that฀Southeast฀faces฀ is฀that฀Cape฀Girardeau฀is฀not฀as฀ attractive฀a฀destination฀as฀popular฀ cities฀in฀California฀and฀New฀York,฀which฀ international฀students฀already฀have฀ heard฀of฀and฀which฀often฀are฀similar฀to฀ their฀big฀hometown฀cities฀with฀public฀ transportation฀and฀tourist-friendly฀ attractions. Students฀are฀unlikely฀to฀choose฀to฀ stay฀in฀Cape฀Girardeau฀unless฀they฀find฀ a฀community฀where฀they฀fit฀in฀and฀feel฀ at฀home. “Cape฀Girardeau฀is฀not฀a฀diverse฀city,฀ so฀we฀have฀to฀build฀communities฀ within฀the฀campus,”฀Ahmed฀said.฀“If฀the฀ city฀was฀diverse,฀it฀would฀be฀easier฀to฀ attract฀people฀from฀many฀different฀ countries.฀What฀happens฀is฀that฀they฀ [new฀international฀students]฀come฀ here,฀they฀find฀that฀there฀is฀one฀person฀ or฀nobody฀else฀from฀their฀country,฀and฀ they฀begin฀to฀think฀of฀transferring฀out.” Ahmed฀said฀that฀they฀cannot฀build฀ communities฀for฀every฀country฀that฀is฀ represented฀at฀Southeast,฀so฀officials฀ have฀to฀pick฀the฀countries฀they฀think฀ will฀grow฀as฀communities.฀In฀turn,฀ these฀communities฀will฀attract฀and฀help฀ retain฀new฀students฀coming฀from฀those฀ countries.

if฀they฀want฀to฀become฀a฀local฀artist฀or฀ just฀more฀active฀in฀the฀arts฀community,฀ Gaither฀said.฀But฀it฀also฀is฀just฀a฀great฀ opportunity฀for฀people฀who฀just฀have฀an฀ interest฀in฀art฀to฀come฀and฀talk฀to฀artists฀ and฀maybe฀find฀a฀local฀favorite฀featured฀ somewhere฀downtown. Gaither฀said฀there฀are฀many฀regional฀artists฀that฀present฀in฀the฀downtown฀galleries,฀including฀artists฀from฀ Sikeston,฀Ste.฀Genevieve฀and฀Perryville.฀ Gaither฀believes฀people฀want฀to฀participate฀in฀First฀Fridays฀because฀the฀arts฀are฀ such฀a฀blossoming฀community฀in฀Cape฀ Girardeau. The฀Arts฀Council฀will฀debut฀its฀first฀ ever฀members฀collection฀in฀September.฀ Each฀member฀of฀the฀Arts฀Council฀was฀ asked฀to฀bring฀one฀piece฀of฀their฀art฀to฀ be฀shown.฀Offering฀an฀exhibit฀for฀members฀brought฀out฀a฀few฀pieces฀by฀artists฀ that฀Gaither฀has฀never฀seen฀before. “We฀really฀want฀to฀provide฀opportunities฀to฀folks฀who฀really฀don’t฀have฀a฀ venue฀to฀display฀their฀artwork฀or฀who฀ are฀really฀wanting฀to฀get฀more฀active฀in฀ the฀arts฀community,”฀Gaither฀said.

businesses฀around฀here฀to฀want฀to฀tap฀ into฀that฀extra฀traffic฀and฀may฀do฀so฀in฀ various฀ways,”฀Gaither฀said.

“There’s a lot of foot traffic, and of course it’s only natural for the businesses around here to want to tap into that extra traffic and may do so in various ways.” Murielle Gaither “It฀really฀is฀a฀really฀cool฀event,”฀ Gaither฀said.฀“And฀we฀have฀a฀really฀ young฀crowd,฀too.฀The฀main฀demographic฀that฀we฀typically฀appeal฀to฀is฀the฀ 50-plus฀people,฀but฀in฀recent฀years฀we’ve฀ seen฀a฀younger฀and฀younger฀crowd฀ come฀through,฀and฀it’s฀really฀exciting฀to฀ see฀that.” First฀Friday฀occurs฀from฀5-9฀p.m.฀on฀ the฀first฀Friday฀of฀every฀month,฀including฀this฀Friday.

The฀Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀football฀team฀must฀overcome฀the฀adversity฀of฀losing฀starters฀and฀a฀low฀preseason฀ranking฀ in฀order฀to฀be฀successful฀during฀ the฀2013฀season. The฀Redhawks฀lost฀eight฀defensive฀starters,฀a฀running฀back฀who฀ gained฀more฀than฀1,300฀yards฀and฀ three฀offensive฀linemen,฀but฀the฀ Redhawks฀seem฀unaffected฀by฀all฀ of฀this฀heading฀toward฀their฀first฀ game฀of฀the฀season. Last฀year฀the฀Redhawks’฀finished฀3-8.฀This฀year,฀Southeast฀was฀ picked฀to฀finish฀eighth฀in฀the฀preseason฀Ohio฀Valley฀Conference฀ poll. “We฀really฀never฀pay฀attention฀to฀those฀preseason฀rankings,”฀Southeast฀defensive฀coordinator฀Brian฀Mohnsen฀said.฀ “The฀biggest฀thing฀for฀our฀guys฀is฀ just฀to฀come฀out,฀work฀hard฀and฀ keep฀trying฀to฀improve฀every฀day.฀ In฀any฀position,฀any฀team฀in฀the฀ nation฀doesn’t฀make฀a฀difference.฀ It’s฀what’s฀between฀the฀lines฀that฀ counts.” Some฀of฀the฀notable฀starters฀ that฀will฀not฀return฀this฀year฀are฀ running฀back฀Levi฀Terrell,฀who฀ rushed฀for฀1,349฀yards฀on฀231฀ carries฀and฀scored฀six฀touchdowns,฀all-American฀linebacker฀ Blake฀Peiffer,฀who฀had฀117฀tackles฀

and฀two฀forced฀fumbles฀and฀first฀ team฀all-OVC฀safety฀Tylor฀Brock,฀ who฀had฀81฀tackles,฀four฀interceptions฀and฀one฀forced฀fumble฀last฀ season.฀The฀Redhawks฀also฀will฀ replace฀their฀entire฀starting฀defensive฀line฀as฀they฀lost฀last฀year’s฀ starters฀Alonzo฀Nevarez,฀Taylor฀ Ramsey,฀Joe฀Malolo฀and฀Justin฀ Love฀to฀graduation. “We฀only฀concern฀ourselves฀with฀the฀people฀we฀have,”฀ Southeast฀coach฀Tony฀Samuel฀ said.฀“What฀you฀don’t฀have฀you฀ can’t฀worry฀about.฀There’s฀always฀ somebody฀in฀the฀ranks฀waiting฀ to฀get฀the฀opportunity฀to฀play,฀ and฀that’s฀where฀you’ll฀find฀out฀ you฀will฀get฀some฀new฀household฀ names฀from฀here฀on฀out.฀We฀feel฀ like฀we’re฀very฀athletic฀on฀both฀ sides฀of฀the฀ball,฀and฀we’re฀counting฀on฀that฀to฀make฀up฀for฀lack฀of฀ experience฀if฀we฀have฀any.” Quaterback฀Kyle฀Snyder,฀who฀ tore฀his฀ACL฀before฀the฀season฀ even฀started฀last฀year,฀returned฀to฀ the฀team฀this฀season฀and฀named฀ the฀starter฀quaterback.฀He฀was฀ locked฀in฀a฀position฀battle฀with฀ returning฀OVC฀Freshman฀of฀the฀ year฀Scott฀Lathrop฀and฀sophomore฀Blake฀Jackson,฀who฀also฀saw฀ playing฀time฀last฀season. “We’re฀working฀on฀reading฀ defenses฀and฀working฀on฀putting฀ourselves฀in฀a฀good฀situation฀ every฀play,”฀Lathrop฀said.฀“If฀you฀ put฀yourself฀and฀your฀teammates฀

in฀a฀good฀position฀then฀you’re฀ going฀to฀have฀a฀good฀chance฀of฀ being฀successful.” Also฀returning฀this฀season฀are฀ wide฀receivers฀Spencer฀Davis฀ and฀D.J.฀Foster฀who฀combined฀ for฀714฀receiving฀yards฀and฀six฀ touchdowns. Southeast฀opens฀the฀season฀ with฀three฀important฀games,฀the฀ season฀opener฀against฀Southeastern฀Louisiana,฀a฀game฀at฀Ole฀Miss฀ and฀the฀first฀football฀game฀played฀ at฀the฀new฀Busch฀Stadium฀against฀ Southern฀Illinois฀University. “It฀doesn’t฀matter฀who฀the฀ opponent฀is,”฀Mohnsen฀said.฀“Our฀ whole฀objective฀is฀to฀make฀sure฀ we฀play฀with฀great฀effort,฀and฀we฀ take฀care฀of฀our฀alignment,฀our฀ assignments,฀our฀techniques฀and฀ our฀efforts.฀That’s฀football.฀You฀ can’t฀decide฀how฀you’re฀going฀to฀ play฀against฀somebody฀because฀ of฀their฀size,฀the฀color฀of฀their฀uniform฀or฀the฀name฀of฀their฀school.฀ It’s฀an฀opponent.” The฀Redhawks฀will฀play฀their฀ first฀game฀of฀the฀season฀against฀ Southeastern฀Louisiana฀at฀7฀p.m.฀ on฀Thursday฀in฀Hammond,฀La. “First฀game฀you฀always฀have฀ to฀prepare฀for฀a฀little฀bit฀more,”฀ Samuel฀said.฀“There’s฀no฀comparison฀to฀the฀previous฀year.฀ They฀may฀want฀to฀add฀a฀few฀little฀ wrinkles,฀but฀just฀from฀the฀nuts฀ and฀bolts฀of฀it,฀we’ve฀been฀working฀on฀their฀scheme.”

Three฀quarterbacks฀battled฀for฀the฀starter฀spot฀on฀the฀ Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀football฀team. Sophomore฀Scott฀Lathrop฀and฀junior฀Kyle฀Synder฀were฀ the฀top฀picks฀for฀the฀starting฀spot,฀along฀with฀sophomore฀ Blake฀Jackson. Coach฀Tony฀Samuel฀officially฀announced฀that฀Snyder฀will฀ be฀the฀starting฀quarterback฀on฀Wednesday,฀though฀he฀said฀ that฀“all฀three฀of฀them฀are฀doing฀really฀good฀things.” “Kyle฀is฀talented.฀He฀can฀run฀and฀throws฀the฀ball฀well,”฀ Samuel฀said฀in฀a฀press฀release฀announcing฀his฀decision. Synder,฀an฀Ohio฀native,฀was฀the฀frontrunner฀for฀the฀quarterback฀position฀last฀fall฀until฀he฀suffered฀a฀knee฀injury฀฀nine฀ days฀into฀fall฀camp.฀His฀torn฀ACL฀prematurely฀ended฀his฀ season,฀and฀redshirt฀freshman฀Lathrop฀took฀over.฀ “My฀knee฀feels฀great,฀and฀I’m฀ready฀to฀go,”฀Snyder฀said฀in฀ the฀release. Lathrop,฀who฀is฀from฀Warrenton,฀Mo.,฀stands฀5-foot-10฀ and฀177฀pounds฀while฀Synder฀compares฀at฀6-foot-1฀and฀216฀ pounds.

Last฀year,฀Lathrop฀completed฀91฀of฀158฀passes฀for฀1,025฀ yards฀and฀seven฀touchdowns.฀He฀was฀named฀OVC฀freshman฀of฀the฀year,฀making฀him฀the฀first฀Southeast฀player฀ to฀win฀that฀award฀since฀it฀started฀back฀in฀2004.฀He฀also฀ was฀made฀the฀OVC฀All-Newcomer฀team฀and฀was฀one฀of฀ 20฀finalists฀for฀the฀Jerry฀Rice฀award,฀an฀award฀given฀to฀the฀ national฀freshman฀of฀the฀year. “I฀expect฀to฀play฀and฀so฀does฀Kyle,฀so฀it’s฀all฀just฀what฀ our฀coaches฀feel฀what’s฀best฀for฀us,”฀Lathrop฀said฀a฀day฀ before฀Samuel฀named฀Snyder฀the฀starter.฀“You฀know,฀ whoever฀it฀is,฀I฀just฀got฀to฀be฀able฀to฀contribute฀any฀way฀I฀ can฀to฀help฀this฀team฀win.” Samuel฀previously฀said฀not฀to฀count฀out฀Blake฀Jackson฀ for฀the฀starter฀spot.฀He฀stands฀at฀6฀feet฀and฀191฀pounds฀ and฀played฀in฀eight฀games฀as฀a฀freshman฀last฀season฀and฀ completed฀4฀of฀9฀passes฀for฀36฀yards. “Everybody’s฀different,”฀Samuel฀said.฀“Everybody’s฀got฀ their฀own฀fingerprint.” The฀team฀held฀their฀only฀scrimmage฀open฀to฀the฀public฀ on฀Aug.฀17. All฀four฀quarterbacks,฀including฀junior฀Tyler฀Peoples,฀ took฀snaps฀during฀the฀scrimmage,฀but฀there฀was฀little฀ passing.฀Jackson฀said฀that฀they฀didn’t฀want฀to฀show฀too฀

much฀to฀the฀public฀and฀therefore฀there฀was฀a฀lot฀of฀running฀ the฀ball. “I฀think฀I฀did฀pretty฀good,”฀Jackson฀said฀about฀his฀performance฀during฀the฀scrimmage.฀“I฀just฀did฀what฀I฀could฀do฀to฀ help฀my฀team.” Samuel฀said฀that฀when฀the฀coaching฀staff฀viewed฀the฀film,฀ they฀were฀looking฀for฀a฀quarterback฀who฀is฀the฀most฀efficient฀at฀both฀running฀and฀throwing฀the฀ball. “You฀want฀to฀make฀sure฀that฀one,฀that฀they฀understand฀ how฀to฀run฀the฀offense฀and฀they’ve฀got฀to฀be฀able฀to฀make฀ play฀changes,”฀Samuel฀said.฀“They’ve฀got฀to฀have฀the฀athleticism฀and฀lead฀the฀offense.” Southeast฀kicks฀off฀its฀season฀against฀Southeastern฀Louisiana฀at฀7฀p.m.฀on฀Thursday. Samuel฀said฀that฀they฀still฀had฀some฀fine฀tuning฀to฀do฀ before฀their฀first฀game,฀but฀he฀feels฀confident฀in฀his฀team฀ this฀year,฀despite฀the฀fact฀that฀Southeast฀is฀predicted฀to฀be฀ finish฀eighth฀in฀the฀OVC฀this฀year.฀Samuel฀said฀that฀their฀ ranking฀is฀just฀a฀number฀to฀him฀and฀though฀the฀team฀is฀ young,฀he฀believes฀that฀will฀work฀to฀their฀advantage. “We’re฀heading฀the฀right฀direction,”฀Samuel฀said.฀“I฀like฀ where฀we฀are฀going฀with฀this.”

TV and film instructor liaison with “Gone Girl” producers J.C. REEVES ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

Mass฀media฀professor฀Dr.฀Jim฀Dufek฀has฀played฀a฀pivotal฀role฀ in฀getting฀Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀students฀opportunities฀to฀be฀involved฀in฀films฀that฀come฀to฀Cape฀Girardeau. Dufek฀worked฀with฀the฀production฀staff฀of฀“Killshot,”฀feature฀film฀that฀came฀to฀Cape฀Girardeau฀in฀2008฀and฀helped฀find฀ internships฀for฀27฀students฀during฀the฀shooting฀of฀the฀movie. Dufek฀is฀constantly฀working฀to฀find฀job฀opportunities฀for฀ Southeast฀students,฀including฀on฀the฀feature฀film฀“Gone฀Girl,”฀ which฀is฀based฀on฀the฀novel฀by฀Gillian฀Flynn฀and฀is฀being฀speculated฀to฀have฀multiple฀scenes฀shot฀in฀Cape฀Girardeau.

Q: Since there have been casting calls, is it safe to say that there is going to be a movie, “Gone Girl,” filmed in Cape Girardeau? A:฀It฀has฀not฀been฀officially฀and฀formally฀announced฀that฀there฀ is฀going฀to฀be฀a฀film฀made฀in฀Cape฀Girardeau.฀Everything฀that฀ is฀happening฀right฀now฀points฀to฀the฀fact฀that฀there฀is฀going฀ to฀be฀a฀movie,฀or฀part฀of฀the฀movie฀made฀here,฀but฀neither฀ 20th฀Century฀Fox฀or฀the฀producers฀have฀officially฀or฀formally฀ announced฀that,฀and฀that’s฀the฀official฀word฀by฀everybody฀that฀ Cape฀is฀under฀consideration฀for฀this.฀That’s฀the฀word฀that฀I฀get฀ from฀everybody฀I’ve฀talked฀to,฀but฀all฀signs฀point฀to฀this,฀and฀it’s฀ a฀positive฀thing฀to฀be฀here฀but฀officially฀no฀confirmation.

Q: Did the people involved with the film contact you, or did you contact them? A:฀I฀have฀a฀lot฀of฀contacts฀around฀the฀state.฀I’m฀on฀the฀Missouri฀ Motion฀Media฀Association฀Board฀of฀Directors฀and฀have฀been฀ for฀several฀years,฀which฀supports฀any฀kind฀of฀filmmaking฀or฀ storytelling฀whether฀it’s฀film฀or฀television,฀and฀we฀support฀the฀ film฀office.฀Because฀of฀that,฀when฀the฀film฀office฀was฀contacted฀ by฀20th฀Century฀Fox฀and฀the฀producers฀of฀“Gone฀Girl”฀the฀film฀ coordinator฀gave฀them฀my฀name.฀They฀contacted฀me฀by฀the฀ end฀of฀July฀and฀asked฀if฀I฀could฀help฀them.

Q: A few years ago the movie “Killshot” was filmed here. Did you have any part of helping with that? A:฀Yeah.฀I฀helped฀with฀the฀location฀survey฀when฀the฀producers฀and฀the฀director฀John฀Madden฀came฀into฀town.฀Chuck฀ Martin,฀who฀is฀the฀director฀of฀“The฀Convention”฀and฀“Visitor’s฀ Bureau,”฀called฀and฀asked฀if฀I฀could฀help฀with฀location฀scouting.฀So฀for฀quite฀some฀time฀we฀drove฀around฀the฀director฀and฀ the฀producers฀all฀over฀the฀community.฀We฀went฀over฀to฀Illinois฀and฀looked฀at฀some฀sites฀and฀made฀a฀great฀relationship฀ with฀them฀by฀being฀able฀to฀do฀that.฀In฀the฀conversations฀that฀ we฀had฀we฀were฀able฀to฀create฀internship฀positions.฀We฀had฀27฀ interns฀placed฀on฀the฀film,฀which฀was฀fantastic.฀Fred฀Jones฀and฀ I฀collectively฀got฀the฀students฀involved฀in฀that,฀and฀we’ve฀had฀ some฀that,฀from฀those฀contacts,฀are฀still฀in฀the฀Los฀Angeles/฀ Hollywood฀area฀working฀in฀the฀business.

Q: Are these the only film opportunities that you’ve had the chance to work for? A:฀In฀Cape,฀no.฀We฀had฀a฀TV฀series.฀You’ve฀heard฀of฀Dick฀Wolf฀ and฀“Law฀&฀Order.”฀He฀did฀a฀syndicated฀series฀about฀10฀years฀ ago฀that฀came฀to฀town,฀and฀we฀shot฀five฀episodes฀of฀that฀here฀ over฀about฀a฀month’s฀time.฀So฀I฀worked฀with฀them฀on฀a฀variety฀ of฀positions฀and฀made฀contacts฀with฀some฀of฀those฀producers฀ and฀people฀and฀kept฀in฀touch฀with฀them฀and฀have฀been฀able฀to฀ keep฀that฀going฀over฀several฀years.฀So฀it’s฀not฀the฀only฀one฀I’ve฀ ever฀worked฀on,฀no.

Q: There was a casting call held in Rose Theatre. Can you explain what exactly happened during the casting? A:฀The฀casting฀director฀went฀through฀the฀list฀of฀people฀that฀ she฀needs฀to฀fill฀the฀spots.฀They฀have฀been฀to฀Kansas฀City฀and฀ St.฀Louis฀to฀fill฀spots.฀I’ve฀read฀that฀they’ve฀done฀some฀work฀ in฀Los฀Angeles,฀and฀they’ve฀looked฀at฀people฀in฀that฀area฀for฀ major฀roles.฀You฀go฀from฀the฀principal฀characters฀to฀the฀major฀ roles฀to฀the฀bit฀parts฀to฀the฀extras,฀and฀there’s฀more฀in฀between฀ that,฀but฀there’s฀a฀line฀of฀succession.฀We฀put฀a฀release฀out฀to฀the฀ community฀asking฀anybody฀if฀they฀would฀like฀to฀participate.฀I฀ put฀out฀one฀email฀to฀various฀radio,฀TV฀and฀print฀publications,฀ and฀that’s฀all฀it฀took.฀Just฀one.฀It฀filtered฀out฀through฀Facebook,฀through฀Twitter฀and฀through฀news.฀The฀casting฀director฀ thought฀that฀she฀would฀get฀about฀300,฀and฀I฀said,฀‘No.฀We’ll฀get฀ a฀thousand.’฀I฀thought฀maybe฀1,100. We฀stopped฀counting฀at฀1,400฀because฀it฀was฀a฀tremendous฀ success฀to฀the฀point฀where฀the฀casting฀personnel฀were฀thrilled฀that฀we฀had฀this฀much฀enthusiasm฀in฀this฀area฀to฀support฀ this฀film,฀which฀says฀a฀lot฀about฀our฀community,฀I฀think,฀that฀ they฀want฀to฀get฀involved฀and฀they฀want฀to฀help.฀Everybody฀ wants฀to฀be฀involved฀in฀some฀sort฀of฀capacity฀with฀this฀type฀of฀ franchise,฀and฀I฀think฀that฀this฀is฀a฀great฀avenue฀to฀bring฀people฀together฀to฀do฀this.฀We฀saw฀every฀kind฀of฀person฀—฀small,฀ big,฀large,฀white,฀green,฀I฀mean฀everybody฀was฀here.฀They฀were฀ patient.฀Some฀had฀to฀wait฀over฀two฀hours฀because฀the฀auditorium฀was฀filled฀through฀the฀lobby,฀out฀the฀hall,฀outside,฀around฀ the฀corner.฀It฀was฀intense.฀ We฀finally฀had฀to฀cut฀it฀off฀after฀4฀o’clock฀because฀we฀still฀had฀ an฀auditorium฀full฀of฀people,฀and฀there฀were฀people฀knocking฀ on฀the฀door฀at฀5฀o’clock฀and฀the฀casting฀director฀said฀that฀we฀ have฀plenty฀to฀fill.฀She,฀the฀casting฀director,฀within฀the฀process฀ of฀taking฀a฀head฀shot,฀because฀all฀it฀was฀was฀taking฀a฀head฀shot,฀ because฀you’re฀extras.฀All฀you฀are฀is฀background.฀She฀would฀ see฀somebody,฀and฀she฀would฀pull฀them฀out฀and฀say฀‘Come฀ over฀here,฀and฀let’s฀do฀a฀little฀animation,฀let’s฀do฀a฀little฀characterization,’฀and฀she฀would฀make฀notes.฀She฀wouldn’t฀give฀ them฀any฀false฀hope฀by฀saying฀this฀is฀going฀to฀work฀for฀you.฀She฀ would฀make฀notes,฀and฀then฀I฀think฀they฀went฀back฀and฀went฀ through฀all฀of฀the฀process.฀ It฀was฀a฀full฀day.฀I฀had฀eight฀students฀that฀volunteered฀to฀ help,฀three฀full-time฀staff฀and฀we฀had฀DPS฀here.฀It฀was฀a฀full฀day฀ I฀know฀I฀was฀here฀12฀hours.

Q: Aside from finishing casting, what is the next step? A:฀Well,฀right฀now฀we’ve฀already฀been฀informed฀that฀some฀of฀ our฀students฀in฀the฀TV/Film฀area฀have฀already฀been฀hired฀to฀ serve฀as฀production฀assistants฀or฀PAs.฀I’ve฀already฀got฀some฀ information฀on฀that.฀Fred฀Jones฀and฀I฀are฀trying฀to฀help฀coordinate฀that฀with฀the฀production฀personnel฀to฀let฀them฀know฀that฀ we฀have฀people.฀It’s฀a฀full-time฀gig. They฀don’t฀want฀any฀part-time,฀they฀want฀full฀time.฀Full฀ time฀is฀12฀to฀14฀hours฀a฀day,฀seven฀days฀a฀week฀for฀the฀whole฀ shooting.฀No฀days฀off,฀no฀‘I฀have฀to฀go฀to฀class,’฀no฀they฀don’t฀ want฀that.฀They฀want฀someone฀full฀time.฀Fred฀and฀I฀have฀sent฀ out฀information฀to฀our฀alums฀to฀inform฀them฀of฀this฀opportunity,฀and฀if฀they’re฀working฀someplace฀where฀maybe฀they฀can฀ take฀a฀leave฀and฀come฀back.฀If฀they฀don’t฀fill฀the฀positions฀here,฀ then฀they฀will฀pull฀them฀in฀from฀the฀city฀of฀St.฀Louis฀because฀ those฀people฀do฀that฀full-time฀freelance.฀ Our฀next฀step฀is฀to,฀when฀we฀finish฀up฀casting,฀I’ve฀already฀ talked฀to฀the฀art฀department,฀and฀we’ve฀offered฀our฀services฀ to฀as฀many฀as฀we฀can฀help.฀We’ve฀got฀people฀in฀the฀business฀ all฀over,฀and฀we฀just฀want฀to฀get฀our฀students฀involved฀in฀this.฀ That฀is฀the฀total฀motivation.฀That’s฀it.฀That’s฀what฀keeps฀me฀ going฀for฀this฀because฀if฀we฀get฀our฀students฀involved฀it฀could฀ create฀a฀long-term฀career฀path.

Why did you choose to come to Southeast Missouri State University?

Ashtyn Brooks Because I heard it was a great school, and I heard it had a great education program. I hope to be an elementary ed teacher.

Nicholas Deloch Because it was close to home, and I just liked it when I came to visit.

Haley Childers It’s a really good school, and it’s close to home. But it’s just far enough where I know a lot of people here, and I can go home all the time.

I’ve฀always฀been฀a฀sports฀fan.฀ Growing฀up,฀my฀dad฀would฀sit฀ me฀on฀his฀lap฀and฀make฀me฀ watch฀just฀about฀every฀sport,฀ especially฀football฀and฀golf.฀Though฀I฀think฀ a฀part฀of฀him฀wishes฀I฀received฀his฀golfing฀ gene,฀I฀fell฀in฀love฀with฀football.฀Maybe฀it’s฀ the฀tackling฀or฀the฀intensity฀of฀a฀game,฀but฀ football฀stole฀my฀heart. Cheerleading฀for฀both฀football฀and฀basketball฀in฀high฀school฀only฀intensified฀my฀ passion฀for฀the฀sport.฀Once฀I฀arrived฀at฀ Southeast฀and฀starting฀writing฀for฀the฀Arrow,฀ I฀gravitated฀to฀any฀sport฀story.฀Through฀the฀ Arrow฀I฀was฀exposed฀to฀so฀many฀different฀ clubs฀and฀teams฀that฀I฀never฀knew฀existed฀ on฀campus.฀All฀of฀the฀experiences฀I฀had฀over฀ the฀past฀year฀led฀me฀to฀becoming฀the฀sports฀ editor฀for฀the฀paper฀this฀year.฀I฀really฀love฀my฀ job,฀and฀I’m฀so฀excited฀for฀football฀to฀kick฀off. My฀favorite฀professional฀football฀team฀is฀ the฀New฀Orleans฀Saints.฀I฀get฀a฀lot฀of฀criticism฀ for฀loving฀that฀team,฀but฀they’re฀my฀favorite฀and฀I’m฀sticking฀to฀it.฀I฀grew฀up฀in฀New฀ Orleans฀and฀when฀I฀was฀younger,฀the฀team฀ was฀pretty฀horrible.฀That฀didn’t฀stop฀us฀from฀ showing฀off฀our฀“Who฀Dat”฀pride. After฀Hurricane฀Katrina฀hit฀I฀relocated฀to฀ St.฀Louis,฀and฀that฀year฀the฀Saints฀surprised฀ everyone฀by฀improving฀their฀game.฀My฀dad฀

and฀I฀stayed฀loyal฀and฀almost฀every฀Sunday฀ we฀went฀to฀the฀local฀pub,฀showcasing฀our฀ Saints฀jerseys. In฀2010฀they฀made฀their฀way฀to฀the฀Super฀ Bowl฀against฀the฀Colts.฀My฀father฀and฀I฀hosted฀a฀huge฀party฀and฀glared฀at฀anyone฀who฀ showed฀up฀in฀Colts฀attire.฀We฀were฀glued฀to฀ the฀screen฀in฀front฀of฀us฀and฀when฀we฀realized฀that฀the฀Saints฀had฀finally฀won฀the฀Super฀ Bowl,฀we฀ran฀around฀cheering฀for฀what฀seemed฀like฀the฀rest฀of฀night. Now฀I฀know฀a฀lot฀of฀people฀have฀their฀ favorite฀team฀win฀the฀Super฀Bowl฀and฀the฀ excitement฀for฀a฀team฀is฀not฀uncommon.฀ But฀for฀me,฀it฀meant฀more฀than฀a฀win.฀It฀ was฀like฀a฀stepping฀stone฀for฀New฀Orleans฀ to฀bounce฀back฀after฀the฀biggest฀disaster฀ the฀city฀had฀ever฀seen.฀The฀Super฀Bowl฀win฀ meant฀that฀no฀matter฀what฀we฀were฀faced฀ with;฀we฀could฀overcome฀it.฀And฀we฀did. For฀me฀personally,฀after฀losing฀everything฀ due฀to฀extreme฀winds฀and฀eight฀feet฀of฀water,฀ I฀didn’t฀think฀it฀was฀possible.฀But฀after฀years฀ of฀buying฀things฀to฀try฀and฀restore฀what฀we฀ had฀lost,฀we฀built฀a฀new฀life.฀Yes,฀all฀of฀my฀ childhood฀toys฀and฀mementos฀that฀I฀had฀ kept฀dear฀were฀gone,฀but฀we฀moved฀on. A฀lot฀of฀people฀weren’t฀as฀lucky฀as฀I฀was฀ during฀the฀storm฀and฀the฀city฀definitely฀struggled,฀but฀the฀Saints฀winning฀the฀Super฀Bowl฀ brought฀us฀all฀something฀that฀we฀all฀still฀desperately฀needed. Hope.

My฀favorite฀sport฀is฀baseball.฀I฀ know฀many฀people฀dismiss฀it฀ as฀“boring”฀to฀watch,฀but฀they฀ do฀not฀see฀all฀of฀the฀game.฀I฀ read฀once฀on฀the฀great฀MLB฀Memes฀page฀ a฀meme฀that฀said:฀“Oh,฀you฀don’t฀like฀baseball?฀That’s฀okay.฀It’s฀kind฀of฀a฀smart฀person’s฀ sport.”฀[A฀quick฀aside:฀if฀you฀are฀a฀baseball฀ fan฀and฀follow฀the฀sport,฀find฀MLB฀Memes’฀ stuff฀online฀—฀it’s฀great.] Baseball’s฀detractors฀just฀see฀the฀pauses฀ in฀action฀and฀dismiss฀it฀as฀bland.฀What฀they฀ don’t฀realize฀is฀all฀of฀the฀strategy฀involved฀in฀ a฀game.฀It฀is฀not฀just฀the฀overall฀game฀or฀even฀ each฀inning,฀the฀strategy฀is฀pitch-to-pitch.฀I฀ could฀talk฀about฀baseball’s฀strategy฀at฀length,฀ but฀we฀have฀to฀adhere฀to฀word฀limits฀around฀ these฀parts! The฀level฀of฀skill฀in฀baseball฀is฀also฀extremely฀high.฀For฀me,฀that฀adds฀to฀the฀intrigue฀ of฀the฀game.฀It฀can฀easily฀be฀argued฀that฀the฀ most฀difficult฀thing฀to฀do฀in฀the฀four฀major฀ sports฀is฀to฀hit฀a฀round฀baseball฀with฀a฀round฀ bat.฀And฀oh,฀did฀I฀mention฀that฀ball฀is฀often฀ traveling฀upwards฀of฀90-100฀miles฀an฀hour?฀ And฀if฀it’s฀not,฀the฀remaining฀pitches฀often฀ have฀wicked฀movement! The฀strategy฀of฀pitching฀has฀evolved฀so฀ much,฀making฀baseball฀into฀a฀thinking฀man’s฀ game.฀Current฀fans฀have฀the฀opportunity฀to฀

marvel฀at฀the฀mastery฀of฀Detroit฀Tiger฀Miguel฀ Cabrera’s฀hitting฀or฀Los฀Angeles฀Dodger฀Clayton฀Kershaw’s฀pitching,฀just฀to฀name฀two. The฀beginning฀of฀September฀is฀the฀best฀ time฀of฀year฀for฀someone฀to฀start฀following฀ the฀sport.฀The฀season฀is฀very฀long,฀with฀each฀ team฀playing฀162฀baseball฀games.฀But฀beginning฀in฀September฀the฀race฀to฀the฀playoffs฀ really฀kicks฀into฀high฀gear.฀Many฀of฀the฀races฀ end฀within฀one฀or฀two฀wins฀between฀teams,฀ putting฀a฀significant฀value฀on฀each฀of฀those฀ 162฀games. As฀with฀the฀vast฀majority฀of฀baseball฀fans฀ raised฀around฀St.฀Louis,฀the฀St.฀Louis฀Cardinals฀are฀my฀team.฀For฀the฀majority฀of฀my฀ now฀23฀years,฀the฀Cardinals฀have฀had฀consistently฀good฀to฀great฀teams฀and฀have฀won฀the฀ World฀Series฀twice.฀Particularly฀in฀the฀last฀10฀ years,฀the฀Cardinals฀have฀been฀great. This฀year’s฀team฀has฀a฀solid฀chance฀to฀go฀ far฀in฀the฀playoffs.฀The฀Cards฀are฀in฀a฀tight฀ division฀race฀with฀the฀upstart฀Pittsburgh฀ Pirates,฀who฀haven’t฀had฀a฀winning฀season฀ since฀1992,฀and฀the฀Cincinnati฀Reds,฀who฀ have฀become฀a฀main฀rival฀of฀the฀Cardinals฀ over฀the฀past฀few฀years.฀September฀should฀ be฀very฀exciting. Now,฀don’t฀get฀me฀wrong,฀I฀enjoy฀the฀constant฀action฀of฀sports฀like฀basketball฀and฀hockey฀and฀the฀excitement฀and฀gladiator฀mentality฀of฀football.฀I฀watch฀those฀sports฀often.฀ I฀am฀a฀big฀Rams฀and฀Blues฀fan.฀I฀just฀enjoy฀ baseball฀—฀and฀the฀Cardinals฀—฀more. 1530
