Larger than football The success of the 2010 Southeast Missouri State football team transcended football and athletics. Travis Wibbenmeyer Sports Editor
Â
After years of suffering from a marred image, whether it be from losing teams or NCAA violations, Southeast Missouri State University athletics have a much improved reputation thanks to the success of their 2010 football team. “It’s the beginning of the changes in the perception of athletics in the university,” said university President Dr. enneth W. Dobbins. The Southeast women’s and men’s basketball teams had major NCAA infractions reported against them in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Both were forced to vacate wins and received recruiting restrictions and a reduction in financial aid. At the same time, Southeast’s football team was mired in seven consecutive losing seasons from 2003-2009. Coach Tony Samuel’s job appeared to be in jeopardy heading into the final year of a five-year contract. The 2010 football team responded with, arguably, the best season in the program’s existence. The team finished with a 9-3 record and won the Ohio Valley Conference for the first time. With winning the OVC came an appearance in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, the first time Southeast made the
NCAA playoffs in football at any level of competition. The Redhawks’ season ended in the second round of the playoffs with a 37-17 loss to Eastern Washington University, who would go on the win the FCS championship. Numerous players garnered postseason honors at both the conference and national level. Ten players made the All-OVC Team and three were All-Americans. Samuel was named OVC Coach of the ear and also won the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the ear award. The entire team received the conference’s sportsmanship award, marking the first time a team won both the OVC championship and sportsmanship award. The success of the team has meant more positive feelings toward the football team and also the university. “It gets people to talk about Southeast in general,” said Derek May, a student ambassador at Southeast who leads campus tours for new and prospective students. “People will talk about its perks and what it has to offer.” May also said the fresh wave of positive feeling towards the football team is a complete reversal from previous semesters. “People actually stayed after halftime at games,” May said. “Usually they would leave at halftime because they didn’t like watching them play.” According to Bill Holland, Vol 101, No. 3 •
executive director of the Southeast Missouri State University Foundation, there has been an increase in donations to the Southeast Booster Club. “The success of the football team has had a very positive impact on the image of the university,” Holland said. “[Success] gets you major coverage in the St. Louis market. One-third of our alumni base was from St. Louis in 2000. They like to have positive to stories to tell.”
“
That success moves to all of the athletic programs. It causes excitement in other activities on campus. Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins A larger presence in the big media market of St. Louis is more proof of Southeast’s brand becoming more widely known. The improvement is also noticeable on campus. “That success moves to all of the athletic programs,” Dobbins said. “It causes excitement in other activities on campus. It ows into reeks and other student organizations.” The football team’s success has
been an image boost to Southeast athletics and has gained the school some national prominence. “Some students from Michigan told me that they had heard Southeast had a good football team,” May said. “But what amazed me was they had heard of us, and not Mizzou [University of Missouri]. Our name has grown bigger if people from other schools are hearing about the football team’s success.” Attendance increased dramatically in 2010. An average of 8,342 fans filled Houck Stadium during the team’s five home games, the highest average home attendance since Southeast joined the FCS division in 1991. Average home attendance in 2009 was 5,835. “We had a notable increase in our attendance,” said interim athletics director Cindy annon, about attendance during the 2010 season. “There is a different level of anticipation about the upcoming season,” annon said. “We have seen a little bit of an increase in ticket sales.” While successful athletic teams are a great boost to the entire university, May believes that students come to Southeast because of things the university offers outside of athletics. He said the selling point of Southeast, which has a student body that continues to grow, is that students here aren’t a number, they have a name. “Athletics is just one piece of the pie,” Dobbins said. “Students are coming here because of high quality academic programs, affordable cost, the ability to know their faculty and successful intercollegiate programs adds to the experience of going to Southeast.”

Senior steps back into captain’s role after injury Travis Wibbenmeyer Sports Editor
ÂBryan Blanfort, the starting
strong safety for Southeast Missouri State University’s football team, tore his ACL and meniscus before getting to play in a game during his senior year. According to Blanfort, it is a blessing that he has a chance to play football for another season. Blanfort received a medical red shirt for the 2010 season, granting him another year of eligibility. He said that his knee has recovered completely and that he is ready for the 2011 season. “Sometimes I forget I ever had surgery,” Blanfort said. “It feels fine as long as I keep icing it to keep it maintained. It gets sore from time to time, but that’s just from playing football, period.” Blanfort was voted a team captain by his teammates for a third consecutive season, despite missing the entire 2010 season. That gesture is one that means a lot to Blanfort. “To be voted captain despite missing last season, that means they really look up to you,” Blanfort said. “It speaks to his leadership,” said Southeast coach Tony Samuel. “He doesn’t say a lot, but when he speaks up, players listen to him. They can follow his lead by example.”
“
He doesn’t say a lot, but when he speaks up, players listen to him. Coach Tony Samuel Blanfort has earned playing time every season that he has been healthy. His best season was his junior season in 2009. He started all 11 games and ranked second on the team with 79 total tackles and had a team-high 42 solo tackles. He also had two interceptions and returned one of them for a touchdown. “He’s a very good tackler,” Samuel said. “He’s good in coverage. He loves to play the game.” Blanfort’s return should help alleviate the stress of losing three 2010 starters in the secondary, which includes both cornerbacks and the strong safety.
Blanfort, at the strong safety position, will be paired with Tylor Brock at free safety. Brock was voted to several preseason All-American teams and was first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference in 2010. “I love my secondary,” Blanfort said. “It’s one of the most athletic groups I’ve ever played with. It’s a very competitive group. Everybody is hungry and competitive. There isn’t any set starting spots.” Blanfort, who went to Hileah High School in Miami, said he came to Southeast because he liked the coaching staff, but he could have gone to a rival OVC school. “Eastern entucky University offered me a full scholarship, but they pulled it away at the last minute,” Blanfort said. “E U is my rival school. I want them to be like Look what you missed out on.’ I always give a little extra when I play them.” Blanfort isn’t taking anything for granted during his second senior season and wants to repeat last year’s success. The team finished with a 9-3 record, won the OVC for the first time and made the NCAA playoffs for the first time in school history a year ago. “I want to continue the winning tradition at Southeast,” Blanfort said. “I’m going to play every snap as hard as I can and give it my all.”

Fresh faces in Student Government Association The new leaders of SGA focus on goals for the school year Tina Eaton Managing Editor
ÂThough it is early in the school
year, newly elected members of the executive board of the Student Government Association have already outlined a few objectives for the school year. Southeast Missouri State University student body President Patrick Vining, Vice President Greg Felock and Treasurer Emilee Hargis, who ran together on one ticket and were elected in a general election in April, have three major goals to put into effect this year. “We are wanting to find a better way to communicate with the student body and administration,” Vining said about their first goal. Their second goal is to become more relatable to their constituents, including all students as well as student organizations and Cape Girardeau residents. The third goal on their agenda is to establish a complete transparency and accountability to the campus community, a topic that they heavily emphasized during their campaign. SGA was created to serve as a liaison between the student body and the administration that runs the university as well as a support system to on-campus organizations. “Student Government serves as a vehicle for student opinion,” Vining said. “It’s important for us to be able to represent students.” The executive board of SGA would not be functional without its other branch, the senate. Each college and school in the university has four representatives that are active in SGA meetings. This year, an emphasis will be placed on making sure that these senators
“
Press, total enrollment at Southeast this fall is 10,875 students, which includes 1,924 freshman. Overall enrollment increased by 2.7 percent in a year while freshman enrollment decreased 1.7 percent.

fulfill their mission to represent their section of the university. “We want to make sure the four senators represent their colleges,” Felock said, “that they are talking to their college councils and hearing their goals.” Though SGA has to meet with university administration to make major decisions, they agree that the higher-ups value their input. “There is a lot of autonomy,” Vining said. “They look to us for a lot of feedback.” “They base their decisions after us nine times out of ten,” Felock said about the administration. Though the executive board plans to consult with the senate and university administration before compiling a complete list of goals, they already have begun to enact a few changes. They will hold several townmeeting type gatherings to which the entire student body will be invited. “We want to see what direction they want to see campus go,” Vining said. The process for applying for funding through SGA will

According to Hargis, an influx of students has not meant a great influx in discretionary funding. “We’re looking at a lot of groups coming at us this year,” Hargis said. Vining also hopes to meet with the heads of every campus organization more frequently than has occurred in the past as well as revisit the Frequent Flyer Program. This program rewards students for attending Southeast events, entering them in a drawing every time they scan their student IDs at a Frequent Flyer Program table. Applications for First Year Senate positions were included in the informational packets that freshmen received at the beginning of the semester and applications for special elections in the Colleges of Health and Human Services and Education and the Schools of Visual and Performing Arts, University
Studies and Polytechnic Studies can be picked up in Room 202 of the University Center. First Year Senator applications are due on Sept. 1, and special elections forms on Sept. 8. Meetings will be held at 8 p.m. every Monday night starting Sept. 12 and are open to the public. “It’s a great way to have your voice heard,” Felock said. “If you care about the university there’s no better way to get involved.”
A public forum
will be held at noon Aug. 31 in the Program Lounge at the University Center for students to discuss their thoughts on Cape’s newly modified parking and noise ordinances. SGA and city officials will be present.

COMPETE REDHAWKS shift strategies Soccer team shoots for OVC championship Dan Fox Editor
Â
Finishing second in the Ohio Valley Conference last season wasn’t enough to satisfy the Southeast Missouri State University women’s soccer team. The team fared well in its first three games of the 2011 season, beating Illinois State 3-2, losing to the Big 10’s Iowa 2-1 and routing Arkansas State in a 4-0 victory in its home opener. According to the team, however, these performances are only a sampling of things to come. The team has its sights set on the OVC championship. “We had really good placement last year. We got second in the conference,” said Shona oodwin, a team captain. “Hopefully we can win the conference and get a little redemption this year.” According to coach Heather Nelson, losing only one senior player to graduation last season and gaining six new players has made the team stronger. Nelson, who is in her 13th season coaching the team, said that in addition to already showing promise, several of the new players have shifted the team’s style of play. “We’re definitely more of an attacking-orientated team than we have been for many years,” Nelson said. “A couple of the additions have made a real change to us.” Two of the biggest additions to the team are newcomers essie

“
A couple additions have made a real change ... Heather Nelson Crabtree and Erin Shulman. Crabtree, a senior transfer from Missouri, scored twice against Illinois State and once against Arkansas State. Shulman, a freshman from Bloomington, Ill., scored three goals over the course of three games, twice against Arkansas State and once against Illinois State. Both players are becoming forces to be reckoned with, according to Nelson. “[Shulman] just has to get used to how much she’s going to get beat up at this level,” Nelson said. “She’s a smaller player. She’s extremely quick, but defenders are pretty big in Division I.” The team will play at Evansville on Sept. 2 and St. Louis on Sept. 16. Next it will compete in the University of entucky Tournament on Sept. 9 before its first OVC game against Austin Peay on Sept. 23. Austin Peay beat the Redhawks in the semifinals of the OVC tournament last year. So far the team has outscored its opponents 8-4 in its first three games and is one of four OVC teams with a winning record.

Intramural sports are a competitive and fun way to be involved on campus. However, it’s not all about the competition. Sportsmanship is a huge part of the intramural leagues at Southeast Missouri State University. “We have a rating system for sportsmanship in the intramural leagues, and without

a good sportsmanship rating, a team can be kept from the playoffs,” said Jennifer Rose, director of intramural sports. The rating system is based on a 1-5 scale, 5 being an excellent sportsmanship rating and 1 being a poor one. Scores are given to each team after each competition, and the ratings are at the disposal of officials and supervisors. No-shows, starting fights, threatening, throwing punches and disregarding warnings of unnecessary roughness will earn the team a 1 rating. According to the intramural sportsmanship rating guide, if a team does not end the regular season with a 3.5 or higher average sportsmanship rating, it cannot qualify for the playoffs in that sport regardless of its wins and losses. “The key to intramural sports is the sportsmanship,” said Elizabeth Stuckle, a former intramural volleyball and
softball official. “We, as officials, are taught through a threeday training program how to handle sportsmanship and what qualifies as good sportsmanship. It’s important for teams to stay civil with one another.” Officials and supervisors crack down on unsportsmanlike conduct and won’t make exceptions. “It is competition, and it’s all fun and games, but sometimes it just gets too intense, and we have to settle the teams back down,” Stuckle said. Hannah Roach, a 2010 intramural soccer champ, understands the importance of the sportsmanship aspect of the leagues. “Sportsmanship plays a big part in competitive sports,” Roach said. “It’s pretty easy as long as you play the game the way that athletes are expected to play in a mature manner.” Roach and her teammates
upheld their sportsmanship rating and were able to win the championship, but she has seen teams that were kept from playoffs due to unsportsmanlike conduct. “I had a friend whose team got bad sportsmanship ratings in one game, and it kept them out of the championship. It’s just important to act mature in every game,” Roach said. Kelsey Bierman, a 2010 intramural volleyball champ, agrees. “Being in a sorority, we don’t just represent ourselves and our team, we represent our entire chapter,” Bierman said. “We definitely are competitive, but the main purpose of intramurals is to have fun playing the sports that we love.” Maintaining a positive attitude is crucial to success in intramurals. “We love to win, and unsportsmanlike conduct does not help you win,” Roach said of herself and her teammates.

ARTIST inspired by historic era
KETCHENS FOCUSES ON THE SHARECROPPERS’ STRIKE OF 1939
Elizabeth Fritch Arts & Entertainment Editor
Â
The Transition Spaces Series, housed in a exhibition space devoted to the work of artists within 150 miles of Cape irardeau, will kick off its 20112012 season with “Robert etchens: Transition Spaces 11.2.” The exhibit has opened in the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at Southeast Missouri State University to offer a glimpse into a historic era that sometimes gets overlooked. etchens, a New Orleans native and 25-year fine artist, lives in southern Illinois. His series of paintings that is currently on display at the museum pays tribute to the Sharecroppers’ Strike of 1939. During the strike, both black and white sharecroppers left their homes in protest after their wages were withheld by landowners. They camped south of Sikeston and around towns such as Charleston, New Madrid and Morley, Mo. etchens said he got the idea to paint this period in history when the grandson of the Rev. Owen Whitfield, the organizer of the protest, married a close friend of his wife. After much discussion over dinner with Whitfield’s grandson, etchens said he was drawn to the subject matter. “I had never heard of the story,” etchens said. “I had never heard of the strike, but the movement was so critical during the time. It was 15 years before the civil rights movement. Everything that Dr. ing did in the civil rights movement, Reverend Whitfield had also done 50 years earlier, so I was impressed with that.” etchens also added that the strike took place in the early stages of the im Crow era. He praised the courage of the protestors to do what they did during that time. “With that personal connection and then that story, that sort of David vs. oliath story really attracted me,” etchens said. etchens’ work begins with a considerable amount of research. He finds small side stories and different angles of the big story, this one being the Sharecroppers’ Strike. He then bases his work off of that. “There’s a lot of small stories that the community joined
“
With that personal connection and then that story, that sort of David vs. Goliath story really attracted me. Robert Ketchens in to make this [the strike] a success, but of course those small heroes go unnoticed a lot of times,” etchens said. Away from the subject matter, the way etchens goes about painting his works is also important. “Texture is a very important part of my work, as well as color,” etchens said. “Me being from New Orleans, it’s sort of natural, you know, with pink and yellow homes. But in this series I had an internal battle because the colors that I normally paint with the bright reds and blues and greens I had to subdue them so the color could help tell the story as well. Being such a depressing story, I found myself leaning more toward earth tones, so to make up for that, the texture became a very important element in the paintings.” im Phillips, curator of collections at Crisp Museum, enjoys etchens’ work because it is a combination of history and art. “I like the textural quality of the actual paintings,” Phillips said, “and then the subject matter because it ranks very closely to part of our mission within the history thing, so it’s a nice tie-in to the region, to the museum and our mission overall.” etchens’ paintings will be on display at the museum until Oct. 16. An opening reception will be held on Sept. 2 and is free and open to the public. The reception will begin at 4 p.m. etchens will speak about why he painted the works and different aspects of the paintings beginning at 5 p.m. The public may view the paintings until 8 p.m. that evening.

FRUEHWALD takes to the stage to serve as model RECITAL WILL SHOWCASE COMPOSITIONS BY SOUTHEAST PROFESSOR
Professor kicks off guest artist, faculty recital series Elizabeth Fritch Arts & Entertainment Editor
R
obert Fruehwald, a Southeast professor of musical composition, will be presenting the first of ten recitals that will either be performed by Southeast faculty or guest artists. The recitals will take place in the Robert F. and Gertrude L. Shuck Music Recital Hall at the River Campus. Fruehwald’s recital will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and will feature his own music as well as music by other composers, including Claude DeBussy’s “The Chansons de Bilitis.”
What is the theme of your performance?
The funny thing about being a composer is that your job is to write the music, and then you sort of feel like it’s done when you’ve done that but it’s not because it’s got to get performed. It’s sometimes very difficult to get from the step where you finish writing the music on paper to the point where it reaches a performance, but I think that’s the most important part. So, again, I want to sort of model that for my students to show them what they have to do sometimes to get their music played.
What are you hoping that the audience will get out of your performance?
Fruehwald: I don’t know if there is really a theme. There are some things that connect it all. One of them is the variety of music for ute. Every single piece has some kind of a ute in it, and utes are prominent in the concert. But they’re not just the normal ones. The last piece is two regular utes, but then there’s also bass ute and there’s also alto ute and there’s also piccolo. So it’s sort of a variety of ute music. That’s one thing I’m trying to get across.
Fruehwald: That they’ll hear some music they’ve never heard before. There’s one bass ute piece that I play fairly often that people around here might’ve heard. Other than that, my guess is they’ve heard absolutely nothing on the program, so it will be new to them. Two pieces have never been played at all two are world premieres.
Why did you decide to do this recital?
Fruehwald: eah. It is unusual to have a narrator along with instrumental music, so that’s a little bit special and just using all the different utes. Again, you don’t hear piccolo sonatas very
Fruehwald: I try to do one every year as a way of modeling for my students more than anything else.
“Pretty much anybody who likes modern classical music would probably enjoy the concert,” Fruehwald said.
Robert Fruehwald conducts a class at the River Campus.- Photo by Kelso Hope often. ou don’t hear the bass ute hardly ever. It’s very rare to hear alto ute and piano for example, so there’s a lot of things that are unusual about the concert.
How do you feel about being the first faculty Are you doing anything special recital of the year? at your performance? Fruehwald: I don’t know that I’d even thought about it. In some ways it’s nice because you have a lot of preparation you have to do for these concerts, and I could do that over the summer. And since the first week has already started,
I realize how busy we get sometimes once school has started. So in some ways I feel really good about being first because I can get all the prep done during the summer and that means that I know I’m prepared, which is nice.
What is the difference between a performance like this and teaching a class? Fruehwald: ou know, I can teach and not be able to do it, theoretically. But if you’re doing a performance like this, you actually have to be able to do it. Considering that I don’t
even teach ute anymore and I’m playing three different kinds of utes, that’s a little scary for me because I don’t play the ute on a daily basis.
What are you looking forward to most about the recital? Fruehwald: It’s hard to say. I’ve been wanting to play this piccolo sonata for a long time, and I’m not a wonderful piccolo player unfortunately, so I’m struggling with it a little bit. But I like the piece, and I’ve been working on it for over 10 years, so I’d like to see that get performed.
How was your first week at Southeast?
Sindupa Desilva: “I’m from Sri Lanka and I’m a junior. My first week here it’s been music, biology and two other subjects. To me the best experience is that the classes are on a 50 percent basis, half online and half in class. Back in my country we’ve never had that before, and the content is interesting, and the professors even more. I love it here at Southeast.”
Lou Schreibver: “I’m from ermany and my major is mass communications. My best experience, so far, is to meet so many new people who are so nice and friendly and openminded. And the teachers are very friendly, and you can talk to them like normal people.”
Josh Cady: “The best part of my first week has been seeing friends who I haven’t seen all summer.”
Audra Wiant: “My first week back at classes has been very dif ferent. My classes are a lot easier than I thought they were going to be, but I haven’t started Missouri Government, and that’s when I’ll start ripping out my hair. I’m enjoying myself. I’m thrilled.”

SAC opens floor for student ingenuity OPEN MIC NIGHT WELCOMES MUSICIANS, POETS AND OTHER PERFORMERS acqueline Irigoyen Arrow Reporter
Â
Students at Southeast Missouri State University are not only encouraged to excel academically but also to express their creativity in poetry, song, acting and music. The Student Activities Council offers an outlet for such talent at the annual Open Mic Night. Sophomore Trevor Mulholland, the professional music coordinator for the SAC, believes this is an inventive way to get students interested in campus activities. “The students requested that we do an open mic event of some kind, and as a council we made it happen,” Mulholland said. “This has become a regular event over the last few years and seems to be growing more each time. Last year we had a student get up and read a whole short story and then another student came up and read a few short haiku.” Open Mic Night is from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14 in the University Center Ballroom, and all students are encouraged to participate. Sophomore Lindsey Wildschuetz enjoys attending the event each year and watching fellow students perform. “I like how you can go and hear original pieces, and people aren’t afraid to be themselves,” Wildschuetz said. “It is a great time to hang out with friends and even make some new friends. “I attended Open Mic Night last year and had no idea what
to expect, but I was very excited because it was something new. I came out of it having really enjoyed it and wanting to go to another one again.” Senior Audrey Hanley also plans to attend the event. “I love hearing everyone’s original works or interpretations of others,” Hanley said. “They send chills through my body and give me goose bumps. Every mind is different, and it is wonderful getting to see some of them in action. “All kinds of personalities appear at Open Mic Night. If students go and at least watch, they will find themselves meeting people with new realms and perspectives different from theirs. They will meet all different kinds of people from different departments on campus and sometimes you end up running into professors as well. It will get them thinking in new ways.” Hanley has not participated in Southeast’s Open Mic Night, but she has participated in a similar event at Broadway Books Roasting Co. on Broadway. “I read two original poems, and I was really nervous,” Hanley said. “After the first time, though, you start to realize that people enjoy listening to you and that they appreciate you and what you’ve given to them.” Students who wish to participate should contact Trevor Mulholland at tpmulholland1s semo.edu. Sign-ups are open until the day of the event.

POINT • Steps being taken to help students understand ordinance Steve Backer Interfraternity Council President
Â
The Interfraternity Council at Southeast recognizes that a new ordinance has recently taken affect in Cape irardeau. The specific ordinance cited 11 specific aspects that make a gathering of ten or more a “nuisance party.” These 11 points are all reasonable aspects that should come as no shock to not only reek students but to any student living on- or off-campus. In an effort to help students understand the new city laws, the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council held meetings the week students moved in for the entire
reek community. At the meeting was an officer from the Cape irardeau Police Department who came to explain the ordinance and informed the students that the police department was not targeting reek students. He also helped them to understand that cops are often willing to work with students as opposed to against them. He advised those attending and hosting parties that if they find themselves in a situation where they are violating the new laws to politely help the police officers on site, and they will be willing to
cooperate with everyone. Also attending the meeting was assistant dean of students for student conduct, Dr. Randy Carter. He explained how the ordinance affected students as well as discussed new policies regarding judicial affairs for students. Members of the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council have also been working with Student overnment Association on ways to pass the message along to the entire campus community.

FALL COURSE OFFERING AT THE BSC The Rise & Fall of the Israelite United Monarcy
COUNTERPOINT • Law adheres to rules we should already be following Drew Reilly President of Sigma Nu Fraternity
ÂThere has been a major
uproar in the last several weeks about the new city ordinances passed over the summer. Before I begin my piece about these new ordinances, I feel like I need to put forth this disclaimer: The following viewpoint does not re ect the viewpoint of my chapter, Sigma Nu as a national organization, nor SEMO reeks as a whole. This viewpoint is merely the musing of me as an individual who happens to be the president of Sigma Nu here at Southeast. To begin with, the “nuisance party” laws seem to coincide with Sigma Nu’s national Risk Reduction
Policy and our Fraternity Insurance Purchasing roup agreement. This is to say that these new laws seem to restate all of the things that our chapter must follow according to our national headquarters and our insurance policy. Because of these similarities, it should not shock any reek on campus that these laws should be followed. Secondly, these new ordinances passed do not seem to be an outrageous change from what was already in effect the past several years that I have been a student on this campus. Before these laws were passed, there was still a worry that the police must shut a party down due to excessive noise or public urination. In my opinion, Vol 101, No. 3 •
this new ordinance is a way for the Cape irardeau Police Department to have a streamlined way of helping prevent outrageous and nuisance parties from happening. Finally, I feel that in the past several weeks the students of this campus have made a big deal over what is not a large change to this city. As long as we, as students and members of organizations, follow the guidelines of the city, our campus and our organizations as a whole, we will have nothing to worry about with this new policy. Having said that, I would urge all students on this campus to be extra careful when planning a party because we have now been put in the spotlight.

GRANT
MAC grants River Campus nearly $40,000
Elizabeth Fritch Arts & Entertainment Editor
Southeast Missouri State University has been awarded nearly $40,000 from the Missouri Arts Council. Each department at the River Campus will be putting this money toward either concert series, guest artists or art exhibitions. The council, a state agency and a division of the Department of Economic Development, is dedicated to the growth, development and appreciation of the arts in Missouri and provides over $6.5 million a year to non-profit organizations throughout the state. “Research shows that students that participate in higher levels of art education in and out of school have higher test scores, higher attendance rates, lower dropout rates and higher disciplinary action,” said Beverly Strohmeyer, executive director of the MAC. Strohmeyer credits this as one of the big reasons why the council funds so many nonprofit organizations. This year the state agency funded 308 out of the 321 organizations that submitted applications. “They tell us what they’re planning to do with the money, and that’s what they’re supposed to do with the money,” Strohmeyer said. According to Strohmeyer, the amount of funding any organization receives is based on its requested amount, the amount of artistic quality, community involvement and management

Beverly Strohmeyer ability plus the amount of money the council has to distribute. Peter Nguyen, director of the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum, said typically the museum staff will ask for the maximum amount of money they need for the year.

This year, the museum received a grant over $12,000 that will be divided to defray the costs of touring and local exhibitions at the museum. “Even though it’s not the max amount [the museum asked for], it does help us with what we need for the museum in terms of shipping costs, advertising, post cards and programs that will go with the exhibits,” Nguyen said. “Whatever we do get from the art council, we do appreciate.” The Department of Music and the Department of Theatre and Dance also received major
funding from the MAC. Over $15,000 was awarded to the music department to support the Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra’s annual concert series, which presents a wide range of programming, including several world and national premieres and high-caliber guest artists. Over $8,000 was awarded to the theatre and dance department to bring in nationally recognized costume designer Bill Black and lighting designer R. Dean Packard for the department’s performance of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” A monthly amount of nearly
$2,000 was also awarded to the theatre and dance department to underwrite the residency of Adam Sage, the choreographer and artistic director for the Missouri Ballet Theatre. Sage will host an open audition for students and will direct master classes and rehearsals for a week at Southeast. In addition to departments at the River Campus, the Southeast Missouri State University Press was awarded $2,000. This money will be used to support the “Big Muddy” literary journal, which highlights works focused on the Mississippi River Valley.
