Karate the defensive way Preston Barrett practices different forms of karate Wednesday at the Shotokan Karate Dojo on South Illinois Avenue. Barrett started karate in the SIU Karate Club in 1973 and became the instructor of the club in 1976, which he taught for 25 years. Barrett has been the instructor of the Dojo, meaning place of training, for 13 years. “Traditional karate and one form of martial arts is taught here,” Barrett said. “Karate offers the people a way to exercise and stimulate their mind and their body to grow.” Children and adults are welcome and private classes for individuals are available.

KIA SMITH Daily Egyptian In the U.S., 37 million people speak Spanish, the highest spoken non-English language among people five and older, according to a survey done by American Community. The number of Spanish speakers rose 233 percent since 1980 when there were only 11 million Spanish speakers in the U.S. Learning a second language can be difficult, but programs such as the Hispanic Resource Center’s Poquito a Poquito make it easy for non-Spanish speakers to learn the language. Leslie Delgado, a freshman from Elgin studying sociology, said the Hispanic Resource Center created Poquito a Poquito because they wanted a way to create a program for Spanish speakers to bond with non-Spanish speakers. “We wanted to get them involved with Spanish culture,” she said. “It’s just a group of students and we come together once a week to eat food and speak Spanish to each other.” The program is fairly new, but Delgado remembers how difficult it was to learn English when she was a small child. “Everything I thought was in Spanish, I was speaking Spanish and then they put me in a school where I was supposed to speak English and I was scared,” she said. “Learning a new language is scary, but once you start getting the hang of it, you get better at it.” James Berry, a lecturer in the linguistics department, said as far as difficulty goes, learning a second language, depends on the language. “There are theories in language called source language and target language,” he said. “So, if you’re a Spanish speaker trying to learn Portuguese, it may not be so hard for you because both Spanish and Portuguese have the same source language, which is Latin.” While there are tools, such as Rosetta Stone, to make learning languages easier, Berry said it is not very affective. “What the Rosetta Stone doesn’t do is make the language your own,” he said. “It doesn’t make you use it regularly or constantly, and just as soon as you learn something is just as soon as you forget it.” Berry speaks French, German and Old English. He said it is better to learn a language at an earlier age and grasping language concepts is easier when immersed in the culture. “When you’re young, you learn the language easier and faster,” he said. “The older you are really makes it more difficult. However, traveling to where the language is most commonly spoken also helps you retain information.” Delgado agreed with Berry and said the more a person is surrounded within a culture, the easier learning a new language gets. “The more you speak it, the more you hear it. The more you surround yourself in a specific culture, I think it is helpful to second language speakers.” she said. Poquito a Poquito is just one of the many programs offered at the university for second language speakers.

Security dawgs to impress at regionals ADIE APPLEGATE Daily Egyptian The Security Dawgs will continue to protect systems and their reputations at the Midwest Regional Cyber Defense competition. The SIU Security Dawgs are bound for regionals after their win at the state competition on Feb. 15. This was their second consecutive win and sixth title overall. Tom Imboden, assistant professor of Information Systems Technologies and coach to the SIU Security Dawgs said the team will not receive compensation for winning, but employers are influenced by students’ abilities in competitions. “We don’t receive any funding for winning these competitions, but students do have the reward of displaying their skills before employers from large companies,” Imboden said. “These employers want resumes from competing students before the competition and then watch each

individual perform to see if they have potential to be hired.” Imboden said military-civilian organizations, government organizations and consulting firms were present at past competitions to look at competitor’s skills. “I don’t know who will be there this year, but in the years past we have seen large companies sit in on the competitions and that can help a student’s performance as well as job opportunities in their future,” he said. The Security Dawgs help local nonprofit businesses with their security and any student is welcome to join, Imboden said. “We can only have eight students actually compete but any student is welcome to meetings,” he said. “We don’t have students help the University with their security issues but we do help local non-profit businesses.” Imboden said students who have issues with security on their laptops, tablets or computers should be aware of what sites they use. “Students should be skeptical about

what sites they are using and how legitimate the site is,” he said. “A lot of students end up with viruses just from sites they did not realize had opened with other sites.” Imboden said students should also be alert on their operating systems updates. He said Adobe and Flash are the two popular ones students tend to forget. The Security Dawgs will be at the Midwest Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition March 28-29 at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills. They will compete against teams from Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The first-place team in the Midwest will compete in the eighth annual National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, April 25-27, in San Antonio, Texas.

Professor moonlights as Moose JAKE SAUNDERS Daily Egyptian To some SIU students, Doug Anderson might simply be the man who passes back their philosophy midterm. However, outside the classroom, he plucks the strings of a different philosophy: music. Anderson is Ol’ Moose, an area musician, active since the 70s. His stylings resemble the folk sounds of soft Americana rock sounds that perfectly match his honest and earnest voice. “It’s fun to make other people have fun. It’s relaxing and enjoyable. Last week, we played at Rustle Hill and there were a lot of dancers and the music just gives good energy,” he said. Anderson often plays at area wineries and was at Starview Vineyards Saturday. Since last August, the winery has found itself in the hands of new owners, Brett, who has had experience in the wine industry for over 16 years, and Regina Morrison. “Doug is (in) Ol’ Moose and Friends, Bone Dry River Band, he also plays solo and his son has a new band, and we have them out here almost monthly,” said Regina Morrison, who is responsible for booking the music. Ol’ Moose’s music consists of cover songs of artists ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to the Grateful Dead, as well as original pieces. “We love having them. They have a great following and we’ve gotten to know their fans and we love their music,” Regina Morrison said. “So we enjoy when it’s their weekend to play here.” The composition of the voice and strings rise together like a smooth sail on a floating vessel. One guitar palm-mutes and strums while another, played by Anderson’s son, Marshall, hits the high notes and then falls into the bass notes, and simultaneously the rhythm drifts and carries their songs away. The strings whip and course like an undercurrent of musical backbone and hold the composition together in an energetic way. The voices sway together and create a

The program started Feb. 26 and meets every Wednesday in the Student Center on the third floor. Delgado said she enjoys being in a position to help others, something she has done since traveling to Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic to teach

monophonic harmony. Their sound lifts like sails that stream along the waves of song so deliberate and soft. The rivers meet and as the voice soothes and swoons over the strings, a violin, played by Becca Perry, glides in as gentle as a bird that beats its feathers over a brackish surf. Like Perry, many area musicians spread their time between different projects, Anderson said. “Playing (in bands involves) a lot of mix-and-match musicians, but most musicians in town do that,” Anderson said. “We’ll have Becca Perry, who was one of the leads in the Vivaldi concert last week, play with us, then she’ll run down and play for Die Fledermaus, the operetta on campus.” The violin rhythm patterns, though not always accompanying Ol’ Moose, are perfectly harmonious, and Saturday’s performance was more subdued, he said. “I’ve been playing here sometimes with a big band and we can make a lot of rock and roll noise,” Anderson said. “Today, we’re just going to be playing quiet acoustics.” Ol’ Moose will also release a new album, his second, within the next month, he said. “I played a lot in the old days on old vinyl records with friends, and their starting to redo that now,” Anderson said. “I think The County Graves band that I play with is going to be recording in the next couple weeks and they’re going to do at least part of it on vinyl.” The music of Old Moose may be found across YouTube or at his frequent performances at the local wineries along the wine trails. The cadence and ambiance that Old Moose creates leaves a longing and, as honest as it is, one can sink into his melodies and unwind “There’s an awesome atmosphere (Ol’ Moose and Friends) bring with them. It draws people from this area because of the type of music and ability to come here, relax and forget all their worries at home and just have a nice day out,” Brett Morrison said. “I think Doug and all of his acquaintances really help that happen.”

children English. “Remembering that experience helps me with this program. I knew if I needed help, there would be people willing to help, and I’m glad that I can now take that role,” she said. Delgado said the best part about teaching someone a new language is helping them accomplish their goals. “I remember how hard it was,” she

said. “ I always enjoyed helping people and I like that we started this program because not only are we being a help to the campus, but also we are getting to know peers.” Kia Smith can be reached at ksmith@dailyegyptian.com

with women who seek to empower other women. The monologues are meant to create conversations campus and community wide, across various cultures and sexes, she said. “We want to get a legit conversation going about what’s going on with young women here in the community with older women,” Thompson said. The piece is certainly not for the faintat-heart. It is a clever and extremely bold piece of art that, if viewed, will provoke a multitude of responses. “I got really involved with it when, two years ago my mom and I went to ‘The Vagina Monologues’ up at home; it caused a huge fight,” Thompson said. “She didn’t understand. She’s obviously older and from a different generation, so since then, I’ve said ‘I don’t know why we can’t just have a conversation about this.’” Co-director Sarah Diefenbach, a graduate student in theatre costume design from Carrier Mills, has performed in productions of “The Vagina Monologues” before; however, this is the first show she has performed in since beginning at SIU. “It was really the first thing got me involved in women’s rights,” Diefenbach said. “I really enjoyed being part of the show and I was in it two other years and directing it just felt like the perfect

closing chapter here at SIU.” Diefenbach said “Vagina Monologues” productions can be put on in various ways, created with outlandish settings and highly theatrical performances or more simplistic sets, focusing heavily on dialogue and dynamic. “I think being in it gave me a lot of different opportunities to see the way the piece can be performed,” Diefenbach said. “Watching it over the years gave me a lot of great ideas that people haven’t done before.” Different students came by the McLeod Theatre during the twohour time slot and auditioned. One such candidate was Kelsey Fortier, a freshman from Chicago studying musical theatre. “I love the adrenaline I get when I act,” Fortier said. “Auditioning takes me to another place … I think my audition went very well, I was comfortable in the atmosphere.” “The Vagina Monologues” will be presented April 19 at Curbside. All proceeds from the performance will go to the Women’s Center, though admission will be free for students.

Astronomy observation to kick off spring break LUKE NOZICKA Daily Egyptian Students now have the option to kick off spring break by discovering stars with faculty who know them best. The Department of Physics will hold their monthly astronomy observation from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. this Sunday on top of Neckers Hall. The event is free and spectators who arrive early can warm up with hot chocolate, apple cider and tea in room 456. Bob Baer, organizational coordinator for the observation, said Jupiter will be directly overhead for the occasion. He said the moon is about a third of the way illuminated as well, which makes

Skelton finished second in the three-meter dive last year. He said his one-meter dive will be a challenge, but he thinks he will win the three-meter. “It will be more difficult because it won’t be my home board, but we’re going there early so I will get to test the boards out a day in advance,” Skelton said. “A board is a board, I’m just going to have to adjust.” The Saluki men’s team finished in third as a team last year.

for a clear image. “The moon is just crystal clear, and very sharp when we look at it through your small scopes. It’s really bright,” he said. Considering it is a good time of year to view planets and stars, Orion’s Nebula will also be visible, Baer said. “On top of that we’re going to try and see the supernova M82, the one that was discovered just back in January,” he said. Baer presents a slideshow full of pictures and information as a guide for viewers. “That presentation is projected on one of our walls on the astronomy deck so people have something to look at while they’re not looking at

the stars,” he said. Each observation usually attracts 50 to 70 people. Baer said people are always excited to see the sky from a new perspective. “They’re utterly surprised because the planets look really good,” he said. “Sometimes they don’t believe it at first; they think maybe there’s an image stuck to the telescope and we’re faking it.” Children are welcome with the supervision of a guardian. Baer encouraged students and community members to attend. “When you understand that you’re looking at something eleven million light-years away or more, it sinks in and it’s pretty impressive you can see that thing,” he said.

Aquarium Society to give fish new homes LUKE NOZICKA Daily Egyptian Salamanders, fish and aquarium equipment will be available for purchase at the Southern Illinois Aquarium Society’s first swap meeting from 12:30 to 4 p.m. March 16 in Student Center Ballroom B. The event is $2 for students with university identification present, $3 for community members and $5 for families. The student center parking lot is free on Sunday. The aquarium society was formed nine months ago, by Emil Sutton, Rich Cummings and Marion community member Steve Christian, who owns 80 aquariums. Tom McDowell, a macroinvertebrate specialist in the school of medicine, said the society is still small, consisting of six members.

McDowell said seven vendors will be at the event. Vendor tables are $15 and will be available for purchase at the event. “Students can come out and sell stuff,” he said. “There will be freshwater and maybe saltwater fish. They’ll have guppies, angelfish... Pretty much any aquarium fish. One guy is going to sell plants.” McDowell said the society will raffle off a 55-gallon tank set up for tickets at $1 and will raffle off fish food. He said future events will have guest speakers and hopes to see at least 50 fish lovers come out. For more information, call McDowell at 618-549-3897.

Could this be the end of “El Chapo”? BRITTANY PETTIFORD Daily Egyptian Walter White does not have a thing on Joaqin “El Chapo” Guzman. Throughout time, the lives of drug lords are glorified by movies like “Blow” and, more recently, with shows like “Breaking Bad.” “El Chapo” puts all other drug lords from media and history to shame. On Feb. 22, the Mexican marines captured, one of the most notorious cartel leaders. Guzman was born in Badiraguato, Sinaloa. Growing up in a less than poor household, he wanted to make sure he could provide for his family. At the age of 15, Guzman was selling marijuana by himself to provide for his family. He built his mother a home in their rural hometown. By 1980, “El Chapo” was running the show with his own Sinaloa cartel. His empire became powerful within Mexico and began trafficking within U.S. borders. Reports say that 25 percent of illegal drugs that entered the U.S. may have derived from Guzman. This includes up to 4,000 pounds of cocaine that was transported to Chicago every month. From there, the drugs were transported across the country. It is rumored he had a net-worth of over $3 billion. With all the fortune he had, it is not surprising this man lived a lavish lifestyle. Guzman was known to enter restaurants and, for an hour or two, enjoy his meal with the cooperation of those also dining. Witnesses recall hearing the bodyguard of Guzman speaking upon entering. “Gentlemen, please. Give me moment of your time. A man is going to come in, the boss… Do not worry; if you do everything that is asked of you, nothing will happen. Continue eating and don’t ask for your

check. The boss will pay. Thank you.” While on the run for his life in 1993, Guzman fled to Guatemala where he was arrested and taken back to Mexico. While being convicted for bribery and criminal association in 2001, he escaped from the Puente Grande Prison, a maximumsecurity facility, in a laundry cart before trial where he was awaiting charges for murder and drug trafficking. The escape cost him $2.5 million and is one for the history books. Until Saturday, the man known as “El Chapo” was only a name in the breeze. Guzman was elusive, but never lost the power he had gained through drug trafficking, murder and bribery. Before his escape from the Puente Grande Prison, his people spent years sending him money and cocaine through suitcases. Much of this was used to make his escape possible. Up to 78 people may have been involved. Locals have reported that Guzman was once arrested in Mexico City. It only took a briefcase of $50,000 on the desk of the chief of police for him to be released within minutes. Other reports made by local authorities, claims were made about a man, who looked like “El Chapo,” killed in a shootout in Guatemala. Later, the local authorities renounced their claims, even the claim in which there was a gunfight at all. “El Chapo” owned many residences where he evaded the police. He was described as “omnipresent” by locals in the area. At the beachside residence, where Guzman was found, officials were stunned at what they discovered. Among the things recovered, $207 million in cash, a man-made cave with a hot tub, many exotic animals, an

immaculate gun collection and stolen artifacts are included. Seeing these things make you wonder about how materialistic Guzman was. Was living this lifestyle worth it? Living a life like “El Chapo” comes with costs. His life was lavish, but was also dangerous. Guzman was known for his “at any means necessary” approach to the cartel. He was feared and respected for it. The way he did business effected, not only him, but also affected close friends and family. “El Pollo,” Guzman’s brother, was arrested in 2001 and later, in 2004, was shot to death by an inmate within a maximum-security prison. Rival cartels have murdered his long time girlfriend Zulema Hernandez, who was found in a trunk 2008, and his son Edgar Guzman Lopez, who was gunned down in a shopping mall parking lot the same year. Guzman’s daughter and father-in-law where arrested within the past two years. With his recent arrest, Guzman leaves behind his beautiful wife, Emma Coronel, and his 2-year-old twin daughters. 13 years have been spent on the run. What kind of toll does that take on a man? “What does a man do, Walter? A man provides for his family. And he does it even when he’s not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and does it. Because he’s a man.” This is a quote from fictional character Gustavo Fring from popular TV show, “Breaking Bad.” Even though this character is fictional, his words may be the closest thing we have to understand the mind of a man who yields drugs, power and money. It’s expected that officials will ensure the imprisonment of “El Chapo,” but have we seen the last of him and his cartel?

Lost computers recovered ELIZABETH ZINCHUK Daily Egyptian More than half of the 256 computers reported missing eight months ago have been recovered. In June, a report by the Illinois Auditor Generalâ€™s office put the value of the missing computers at $416,183. The computers were found missing in a fiscal year 2012 audit of equipment inventory.

f the computers found, Goldsmith said all but nine computers were found to have no confidential information, which was a major issue of concern before. She said there are no suspicions the remaining nine contain information either.

Rae Goldsmith, university spokesperson, said 122 computers are still missing but many measures are taken to make sure their outcome is found and the issue does not happen again. Of the computers found, Goldsmith said all but nine computers were found to have no confidential information, which was a major issue of concern before. She said there are no suspicions the remaining nine contain information either. Goldsmith said the average age of the missing computers was calculated to be about a decade old, with the oldest one being bought during 1989. With them being so old, Goldsmith said it is thought they likely were gotten rid of. â€œWe really believe they were disposed of and not recorded as such,â€? Goldsmith said.

Poor flexibility trumps my good attitude Multimedia To see a video report visit: www.dailyegyptian.com Heights have always been a fear of mine and flexibility has never been my biggest strength, which means diving was not my ideal sport. Junior Kegan Skelton was involved in gymnastics before he started diving, and it shows. In practice, Skelton flips and spins, but it was difficult enough for me to stand on my hands and I was not even going to try half the tricks he was doing. Our experience levels are a little different, but I challenged Skelton to the best of three dives from the three-meter diving board, which is a lot higher than it sounds. Skelton was gracious enough to show me a hurdle, which is a common yet difficult way to begin a dive. He was extreme-

ly helpful as a coach, and said he could see himself as a coach in the future. Diving coach, Joy Zhao, said he makes her a better coach because of his will to improve and ability to help her. My first dive, I didn’t even bother trying the hurdle, because the board wasn’t as forgiving as my practice surface. It was a custom dive called the cannon ball to pencil, which started in cannon ball form, but changed to a straight body before hitting the water. I nailed it. Skelton’s first dive was nowhere near as difficult as the practice dives he plans to use in competition, but I knew it was over from there. For my last two official dives, I attempted the hurdle into a 180-degree spin, to show my competitive side. The board was still quick, and I fell off both times with no trick performed. Skelton told me to try an extra time just for fun. It took a few faults before actually somewhat completing the dive. I spun approximately 165 degrees. Skelton said the hurdle makes it tough to do the

Junior Kegan Skelton finished second in the Mid-American Conference Men’s Championships in the three-meter dive last season. Skelton will compete this weekend at the MAC Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. His coach, Joy Zhao, said the two of them are hoping for a first place finish. full 180-degree spin. Skelton and Zhao gave a round of applause for me. Afterwards, Skelton said my dives were not in the diving book, but he scored me at four out of ten for a beginner. Zhao made me feel a little better by

saying my attitude was great for her coaching style. She scored me somewhere between a five and six. However, I still don’t expect myself to walk onto next year’s team. My respect level for diving went up

after this competition. Swim coach Rick Walker said diving often gets overlooked after the women’s conference championships. Obviously flips and spins would be difficult for someone who doesn’t practice, but even the fluctuating temperatures made my training difficult. Saluki divers practice on trampolines and gymnastic mats above the pool, which feel like a sauna. Normal abdominal workouts were difficult for me there because of the muggy weather. After that, they jump into a cold pool repeatedly. They never complain and almost every member on the team qualified for the NCAA zone diving tournament this season. Skelton is the only diver competing in the Mid-American Conference Championships, and Zhao said he has a good shot of winning the three-meter dive. Skelton competes in the MAC championships this weekend in Buffalo, N.Y. and the zone diving tournament March 14-16.

Saluki softball gets offensive boost from freshman TONY MCDANIEL Daily Egyptian Saluki softball has gotten an offensive boost from an unsuspected source. Freshman Shaye Harre started the season off on a roll. Harre ranks in the top five players on the team in RBIs, hits, total bases and slugging percentage to name just a few of the 10 offensive categories Harre finds herself in, 14 games into the season. However, that’s not all Harre does to help her team. Harre is working double duty for the Dawgs and has pitched in seven games this season, starting in two and entering in relief for another five games. Coach Kerri Blaylock said she is pleased with the boost the Salukis are getting from the freshman. “She’s got tremendous power, she

can hit for average, she’s a very, very, good defensive player and she can pitch,” Blaylock said. “She’s just a well rounded athlete.” In the last game for the Salukis, Harre had, statistically, her best game of the season. Harre was the starting pitcher for the game against Miami University and allowed no hits, but gave up two runs off of three walks on the mound. Harre’s biggest accomplishments in Sunday’s game came at the plate. In the fourth inning, Harre gave herself run support when she stepped up to the plate with two runners on base and a one-run lead. Harre crushed a pitch that carried all the way over the right-field bleachers for her first career home run, a 3-run bomb that gave the Salukis a 4-0 lead. Harre said the home run came at an opportune time for her.

“It was pretty great, I had gone quite a few at-bats where I wasn’t able to make solid contact or get on base at all,” Harre said. “So that was a good way to come out of a little slump there.” Harre would go on to get another RBI in the seventh inning to make her 2-4 with four RBI’s in the game. Blaylock said Harre’s stellar offensive output early in the season comes at no surprise to her because of the type of player Harre was in her time before she came to SIU. Harre went to Nashville Community High School where she played three sports, basketball, softball and volleyball. As a softball player for the Hornettes, Harre hit .520 for her career with 182 RBIs in just three seasons. In Harre’s junior year, she helped her softball team win a state championship. One year later, she

won her second state title, this time in basketball. “It was a neat experience. Not many people can say they came out of high school with two state championship rings,” Harre said. “It’s definitely an honor to be able to say that I was a part of that.” One thing Harre’s hometown of Nashville has in common with Carbondale is an abundance of school spirit, which is something Harre said was a deciding factor for her when she picked SIU to play softball and get her degree. “Coming from a small town that was focused on sports gave us such a good community to come together and be our support group,” Harre said. “That’s one of the reasons I chose SIU, because it is that same type of atmosphere to play in.” Harre played first base more than

pitcher last year for the Hornettes, but still posted a 10-1 record with a 2.18 ERA. This season, Harre struggled in her first two starts giving up six runs in just 2.2 innings. Harre has since calmed down on the mound. Harre has appeared in five games since then, allowing nine runs over 14.2 innings to bring her ERA down to 4.85. Blaylock said Harre’s pitching could be just a good as her hitting. “She’s got really good movement, really good spin on the ball and she throws well to locations,” Blaylock said. “I think she’s going to get better and better the more time she spends doing it.” Harre will hope to continue to her strong start to the season with the rest of the Saluki softball team this weekend at the Under Armour Classic in Clearwater, Florida.

Dawgs burn Bruins with six unearned runs AARON GRAFF Daily Egyptian The Saluki baseball team had its sixth win from a freshman pitcher this season and have also had six pitchers earn their first Division I win this season. SIU (8-3) has won seven of its last eight games after a 7-6 win against Belmont University (6-6) Wednesday. “I’m very proud of our toughness,” Coach Ken Henderson said in a Saluki Athletics press release. “We’re learning how to win and learning how to battle through some adversity. The conditions were not great, but we battled through it and found a way to win again.” Belmont jumped out to an early lead by scoring four runs in the first three innings. Freshman

Connor McFadden (1-0) had his third start for the Salukis, and only had two earned runs in his first collegiate win. The Salukis scored one run in the third and fourth innings. The fourth inning run came from an RBI single by freshman Will Farmer, and was the only earned run by Belmont’s pitching staff. In the sixth inning, the Salukis teed off. Senior Cody Daily reached on an error to start the inning. SIU picked up four singles, a walk and a hit batter in the inning to score five runs and give the Salukis a 7-4 lead. “We scored five runs in one inning, and it wasn’t like we were hitting balls off the wall,” Henderson said. “We just put the ball in play, and that’s when good things happen.” McFadden gave up seven hits

in five innings pitched, struck out five and is tied for the team lead with 12 strikeouts. Freshman Austin McPheron relieved McFadden in the sixth and gave up one hit and no runs on 11 pitches. The Bruins cut the lead to 7-6 after scoring one in the seventh and one in the eighth off of seniors Derek Fogel and Lee Weld. Senior Tyler Dray was called on to close and recorded his third save of the season in three tries and the 12th save of his career. Junior Parker Osborne finished with three hits and one RBI while Freshman Ryan Sabo earned his second start at second base. Sabo had two hits and two runs. SIU plays at South Alabama University next for a three game series this weekend, and has four more games during spring

Salukis hope to finish with a splash AARON GRAFF Daily Egyptian The Saluki men’s swimmers and divers have their work cut out for them in their biggest tournament of the season. SIU will compete in the Mid-American Conference Championships Thursday through Saturday in Buffalo, N.Y. Coach Rick Walker said he

isn’t considering it an advantage or disadvantage competing in New York. “In competition’s like this, you can’t sit there and pick out the things that aren’t in your favor,” he said. “You just can’t afford that.” The Salukis only faced two conference opponents during the regular season: beating the University of Evansville twice and losing to Missouri State University once.

“This is arguably the best mid major conference in the country,” Walker said. “We are going up against some very stiff competition.” Freshman Dusan Vukobrat said he doesn’t think the Salukis will win the title, but he said they have a good chance of finishing third place or higher. “If we all do our best, we might place in the top three,” he said. “I don’t know if we can win it this year,

probably not, but if we get in the top three that’ll be really good success for the team.” Vukobrat will be swimming the 100-yard butterfly, the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle races as an individual. He said his butterfly stroke feels good. “I’m really determined,” Vukobrat said. “My expectations are high and I think it can be good, but it just depends if everything falls into place

on the day of the meet.” SIU will only have one diver in the competition. Junior Kegan Skelton has been the only male diver competing this semester. Freshman Aidan Chipps is ineligible because he took classes in Australia before coming to SIU and does not have enough credits.
