*$ # *& $ SIUE is offering online general education courses during a new four-week winter session for the first time during this year’s winter break.

Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Parviz Ansari said the students taking these courses and the professors teaching them are being offered financial incentives.

“We follow whatever the classes would qualify for during the year, but since these are courses offered during a new term, we are going to offer some discounts to the students of up to $300 for three credit hour courses. We will go by credit hours,” Ansari said.

According to physics professor Jeffrey Sabby the teachers are being offered stipends for teaching these courses during the winter session.

Art and design professor Ivy Cooper, who is offering an Introduction to Art course during the winter session, said she is thrilled about the benefits the winter courses will offer to the students.

“I think it’s a nice bonus for professors,” Cooper said. “The financial incentive is a big motivator, but I was also just interested in supporting a program that would increase students’ flexibility and their ability to graduate on time.”

Despite the concerns that students and faculty have, the goal of the winter session is to help the students complete their educations efficiently.

“It’s a student-centered model, so everybody is very excited about it,” Ansari said. “The intention is to make sure we bring the best education to our students — the kind of education that will allow them the opportunity to better their own future. We like to listen to the needs of the students. We are remaining very hopeful that this will be a very successful proj-

ect. We are very excited about this opportunity. It will be something that students can perhaps take advantage of for their own education.”

The reason for this offering is meant to further assist students in completing their programs as efficiently as possible.

“There is always a question as to what more we can do for the students because every students will have certain needs and for that reason we figured out that we are talking about four-weeks that nobody is using for any specific curricular reasons,” Ansari said. “And we are not the first university doing this, there are examples out there. We figured out that it is a good idea for us to let the students be able to take one course and by augment-

We would also like to examine how much we are learning from this pilot project, while we are examining the type of courses we offer, how this is being conducted, feedback from the students and the faculty and also figuring out if we can expand this beyond the boundaries of the campus.”

Cooper said she hopes this project will grow in the future for the sake of the students.

“I hope that the university does expand on this because I think this effort of offering courses during the winter session is an effort to allow students more flexi-

ing the summer program; they will have a lighter load during the year. That is one important aspect to us. The other one is to offer an online education to those that would like to have that opportunity.”

According to Ansari, this new project is a trial run that could be changed in the years to come.

“I’d like to make sure that everybody understands this is a pilot project, meaning that this is subject to potential changes in the future. We did not begin this project based on the assumption that we are going to stop offering it in the future,” Ansari said. “This is just testing the

bility. It will aid in helping them graduate on time and a lot of students don’t have the flexibility to take courses in the summer so I think this is ideal,” Cooper said.

In order to test the success of this trial run, Sabby said he will study the grade distribution of the winter session.

“If us teachers are doing our jobs correctly, we should get a bell curve for the grade distribution in our classes,” Sabby said. “I hope to see this kind of grade distribution in the winter session astronomy class.”

For Ansari and his staff, a lot of elements needed to be thought about in

%+$ order to execute the winter session successfully.

“It’s very intensive to make sure it makes sense in all aspects,” Ansari said.

“The question is: Do you have enough time to offer a course with the quality that all academics would like in the very short and compressed time that we have between the end of the fall session and the beginning of the spring session?”

Although this was not the first time this project had been considered, this project has not been implemented before.

“It had been designed before my arrival, however it never saw the light of day. So when I came on the board, I looked into the possibilities, and talked to a number of people about this,” Ansari said. And certainly with the university and the support of all of the departments we brought all of the elements together.”

Ansari said the the time to plan the winter session was short.

“It took us a few months to design; it was not a matter of designing overnight and certainly we have people who worked very, very hard to make sure this became a reality,” Ansari said.

Many of the professors offering these courses are enthusiastic about the winter session.

“I would just like to say that I’m really excited that SIUE is thinking about a variety of ways to aid students in completing their programs on time and offering them incentives, and also offering faculty incentives to really just to try to think creatively about how to put together a program that will aid them in graduating on time. I think this is a really good direction for SIUE,” Cooper said.

Ansari said all of the teachers volunteered to teach these classes over winter break.

Jacobs: ‘Control is the

issue’ in domestic violence Domestic abuse is widely overlooked and to enlighten the public on the issue, the Women’s Studies Program hosted a lecture called “Understanding Domestic Abuse,” by Marcy Jacobs, client services coordinator of Oasis Women’s Shelter in Alton.

Jacobs shed light on many of the statistics about domestic abuse and the importance of addressing the issue.

“One in three of [women] will be battered, which means physically assaulted by a partner in our lifetimes,” Jacobs said. “That means every person in this room, domestic violence will touch your lifetime at least once. So the chances that you know a battered woman are very high. It will touch all of our lives and that is why it is all of our responsibilities.”

Not only did Jacobs discuss the number of women affected by domestic abuse, but she addressed the number of people who commit this devastating crime.

“Your chances of finding an abuser when you’re dating is about one in six. About one in six American men use violence in their relationships,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs said some of the myths many people include into the mix of domestic abuse include blaming the crimes on alcohol, drugs, mental illness and social statuses of the batterer and the victim.

“We blame our victims by dividing ourselves by race, by education, by whether we’re married, by religion… When we think about ‘okay people and non-okay people’, we think domestic violence happens to non-okay people,” Jacobs said. “I am here to tell you that it is not them. It is us.

Domestic violence is not respectful of our personal income. It is not respectful of our education.”

For those who are questioning their relationships, Jacobs said there is one way to tell if the situation is domestic abuse — control.

“Control is the issue. Domestic violence might be as subtle as treating her like she’s stupid all the time,” Jacobs said. “It’s a continual effort to have power over her by undermining her, by isolating her, by making sure that she can’t get away emotionally.”

Jacobs also alluded to what one should do if they have a friend in a domestic abuse situation.

“Be a good friend. What you do say is: ‘What do you want?

What can I help you with? Let’s go have fun today.’ What you’re doing is breaking that isolation.

That, believe it or not, is one of the most helpful things,” Jacobs said. “You are there to be in touch, even when it’s painful. You are there to comfort; you are there to say ‘I will do these kinds of things if you need them. If it’s two in the morning, and you need someone to come pick you up, I’ll do that…

If he leaves you stranded at a party somewhere, I’ll come get you. If you need someone to go to the police station with you because you’re terrified out of your mind, I will go with you.’

“You can do those kinds of things, but talking her into leaving isn’t helpful. The advice for friends is be patient... She must be absolutely certain in her mind that she will never ever hear ‘I told you so’ from you.”

Jacobs outlined the main reasons for domestic violence with pictures of the “Cycle of Abuse Wheel” and a “Power and Control Wheel.” The former showed how

abuse begins with tension building and ends with a honeymoon phase, in which the batterer is sorry for his actions. However, as the abuse becomes more prevalent, the honeymoon phase tends to disappear altogether. The “Power and Control Wheel” made it clear that the reason for domestic abuse is for an abuser’s need to control.

“One of the spokes that props up the wheel of power and control is isolation: One of the most common control techniques, and one of the most debilitating. He drives everyone away by being rude and being exclusive… He removes her physically. He interrupts her career. So she’s alone and the more alone she is the crazier she feels.

And the crazier she feels, the more she believes him when he tells her that this is all her fault. And the more she believes this is all her fault the more she tries to fix the relationship rather than leave it,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs said the reason she referred to the batterer as a man during most of her speech is because men battering women is more frequent in comparison to a woman battering a man.

“We grow up in a culture in which to be considered a man, you have to be in control. Anger is the manly emotion. That is the emotion that men can express and still be men,” Jacobs said.

According to junior physics major Jeff Huelsman, of O’Fallon, another issue that instigates domestic violence is the media.

“We can see how the media and our society try to protect people that shouldn’t be protected, ” Huelsman said. “They’ll say ‘this is an important person in our industry and we don’t want them to get in trouble with the law even though they did something wrong.’”

A student, who wished to remain anonymous, in attendance at this event said this topic is crucial for people to understand.

“I think it’s important because I actually was sexually assaulted by another student on this campus and it took a while after I had ended the relationship to realize he had assaulted me. It was scary because I know the statistics, I know the facts, but it took me so long to realize it had happened to me… I felt dirty and ashamed and embarrassed… We need to educate more people about this… We need to know what’s acceptable and what’s not,” the student said.

In fact, the anonymous student said talks like this are important for all students.

“I think they should require people to attend a lecture or a course on sexual harassment, sexual abuse, what it means to consent to something, abusive behaviors and speaking out on those types of things,” the student said.

In order to address the issue of domestic abuse on the campus, Seltzer said there are resources available to students.

“Counseling Services is the number one resource on campus, particularly because they are trained in a lot of those issues, but we also rely a lot on organizations like Oasis and their hotline and having students know that those resources are out there,” Seltzer said. “Not even for themselves, but for their loved ones too.”

Jacobs said the Oasis shelter performs many tasks to help battered women in need of assistance.

“At the shelter, we provide | pg.4

session. I’m really, really excited for this opportunity,” Cooper said.

The time frame in which the faculty had to plan the winter session was a matter of months, according to Ansari. However, this was not a problem for the teachers offering courses.

“I think that the planning for this came about really swiftly and we were asked to consider it, and asked to give an answer in a pretty short time frame,” Cooper said. “That didn’t bother me though because we already have these online courses ready to go, so we didn’t need a lot of time to get them ready for a winter session.

“I think for this pilot project, it was really smart to ask professors who already had online courses prepared if they were ready to re-format them and offer them in a winter ses-

The Alestle // 3 sion… the success of this will excite other professors to develop courses that they can offer during the winter session.”

Although the financial rewards and student benefits for this pilot are helpful, these four week classes could be a challenge for students, according to Sabby.

“It will be a little more accelerated,” Sabby said. “I would recommend that the students that are really, really committed sign up for it — the students that have really good study habits. I would say the students are going to have to be very serious to attempt this, but if they’re feeling a little bit adventurous and feel that they can commit the time to it, I would say do it.”

Another concern Ansari addressed was the worry of not being able to adequately learn the information, normally obtained in 16 weeks, in four weeks.

“That is a very genuine con-

cern and that is why we are making sure that we are offering only those courses that can be delivered in four weeks and meet the curricular demand. That is why we are picking general education courses specifically,” Ansari said.

Senior mechanical engineering major Lauren Hoffman, of Belleville said she believes students can learn an adequate amount of information in four weeks.

“I’ve taken these before at my previous college and I definitely learned just as much as I would during the other semesters,” Hoffman said.

For students interested in taking these courses, the sign-up will be at the same time as registration for the spring semester.

The session will begin Dec. 15 and end Jan. 9, 2015.

temporary housing for victims of domestic violence and their children. We do a 24-hour hotline, 365 days of the year…

There’s a trained person answering the hotline. We provide education and support, and a jobs program,” Jacobs said. “We also help people obtain orders of protection, a legal instrument that orders abusers to stay away from their victims.”

Junior construction management major Weston Hock, of Millstadt, said the importance of domestic violence is due to its lack of consideration and more people should have attended the event.

“It’s such a big thing in our country and needs to be changed.

I think more people should go than just the twenty that were there,” Hock said.

The anonymous student said

Jacobs did an exceptional job of delivering information to students.

“I think she definitely did a good job of explaining things and making it relevant. I think she shocked a lot of people when she made her point about ‘abuse doesn’t care about how educated you are, assault doesn’t care how much money you have, what degree you have.’ It doesn’t matter where you live, how poor you are, the color of your skin. It happens to a lot of people,” the student said.

Hock said he was astonished by much of the lecture.

“I’d say a lot of it was surprising, especially the statistics,” Hock said.

Huelsman said there needs to be even more educational opportunities about this topic.

“You really can’t have enough.

It’s just something people need to

!

be aware about,” Huelsman said.

Although a serious issue, Hock felt the public lecture was very useful.

“I thought it was very insightful. I never would’ve guessed how big of a deal domestic violence is,” Hock said.

In order to make domestic abuse relatable to students, Jacobs highlighted some similarities between marital control and dating control.

“Dating relationships also get very much in the pattern of control. It doesn’t matter that they’re not living together,” Jacobs said.

“It doesn’t matter that they don’t have joint checking accounts.

There are other kinds of control.

Dating relationships are very much a part of our job.”

Every year, SIUC and SIUE each elect a student trustee who will both sit on the board of trustees, but only one of them gets to vote on issues.

Student Body President Nasir Almasri said Student Government is frustrated at the process by which the governor grants voting rights to student trustees.

“I don’t have hardcore evidence in front of me to show the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR University diversity a problem in all areas Different groups should have same privileges no matter what race The other day, I was walking towards the MUC to grab a coffee when I saw two older gentlemen setting up a box on one of the tree boxes in the quad. At first I paid them little attention, until I saw one of the men flatly ignore a young black woman, and then only a few moments later, politely stop a young white woman to offer a free copy of the New

Jeffrey Elliot Student Testament. Needless to say, at this point I was more than a little annoyed.

As I approached, the man said to me, “Would you like a free gift?” as he extended out a stylized green book towards me. I said, “You just ignored a black girl, only to take the time to share your little book of false promises with a white girl.

You are a racist and you can bite me!” As I walked away he called after me, “God bless you!” I am rapidly becoming convinced that “God bless you” is actually code for “F@#k you, buddy!”

Putting aside the rather disturbing tone of our exchange, I began to wonder how they managed to get permission to distribute religious

literature on state property when the campus’s policy on this sort of speech is quite clear: you get a 20 foot radius around “the Rock” in the quad, and you must apply for use with 48 hours notice.

Now, I for one find this to be a rather despicable policy, as I believe that the entire United States ought to be a “Free-Speech Zone,” but the fact that Christian proselytizers are able to violate this policy with impunity should make it clear that the nature of the enforcement of this policy is reserved for those who do not fit a particular profile — white, male Christians.

You want to talk about a prejudicial status quo? You want to talk about discriminatory policies? Let’s talk about a campus that will allow a man to stand outside the Peck Hall door distributing Bibles (in clear violation of campus policy) but that will force the Ultimate Frisbee Club to remain within the designated zone. Let’s talk about a campus that has multiple unconstitutional speech codes, but that will selectively censor people and groups attempting to exercise their free speech. Let’s talk about a university that will designate specific classrooms as LGBT safe zones, but won’t make a commitment to an LGBT safe campus.

If you don’t play by the rules, if you don’t toe the line, if you don’t fit the mold, rest assured

that you would be the person at our school that is the most discriminated against.

We are living in chaotic times, and there is great change on the horizon; one need only look at the situation in North St. Louis County to see that we are approaching a boiling point. The organs of the state (including universities) seem to be quite complicit in taking any measures necessary to enforce a system where the only people with any genuine rights and liberties are whites, men, Christians and the rich. At what point are people going to stand up, raise their voices, and say “There is no justice, there’s just us!

I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

We cannot survive as a nation if there is one law for them, and another law for us. We cannot live in a country where the poor are divided and weakened by the rich, when they pit blacks against whites, Christians against Muslims, men against women and straights against gays.

You don’t need to protest, you don’t need to riot, you don’t need to campaign or vote; all you need to do is get mad. You’ve got to say — in the words of Howard Beale — “I’m a human being, Goddammit! My life has value!”

Irony persists in difficulty of being proactive about mental health There absolutely needs to be more funding for Counseling Services.

It is outrageous that in this day, with as much stress as our students can be put under, not all students who need help are able to

Nathan Sierra Alestle Copy Editor get it. Having mentally healthy students is a core responsibility each university should take on for its student body. We want to facilitate the learning process as much as possible.

Students being in a state where they are unable to learn because of high levels of stress or other mental issues should be one of the top concerns of any learning environment.

In my previous opinion article, I stressed the importance of students being proactive about

their mental health instead of being reactionary.

However, currently it is nearly impossible to add new clients because Counseling Services does not have any open time slots. If you are lucky enough to get in, it may take up to three weeks to get your first appointment.

News flash: it is difficult to be proactive about mental health issues if there is not a professional available to work through any issues.

In light of this, the university is unintentionally propagating a reactionary stance on mental health awareness. Which, pardon my crass verbiage, drives me insane.

Clearly, if all of the appointments are filled, then Counseling Services needs more funding and a larger staff. The fact that this is not a major concern for a university with such a large student body that lives on campus, away from home, is concerning. It is not uncommon for college students who are close to home to suffer from anxiety or depression, let alone students who are far from family have so much at risk if anxiety or

any other issue pops up in their life.

This needs to be fixed. And the simplest, clearest answer is to allocate more funding toward Counseling Services.

I know; there are money issues here at SIUE — there are money issues everywhere at this point in time. Money issues cause amazing amounts of stress on students who are doing their best to attain a degree to have a comfortable, well-paid life, which, in the economic state Americans find themselves in today, is looking less and less likely to occur. So, of course, that only further proves we need to be more proactive about mental health, and to actually fund Counseling Services.

If you are suffering because you are unable to see a health care professional, make it clear. The only way more funding can occur is if the issue becomes more well known.

Do you think the university should screen the groups they allow on campus or should anyone be able to visit?

METRO EAST EATS pumpkin creme brulee

A glaze of toasted caramel resting on a creamy custard of pumpkin, made the most remarkable dessert we have tried this fall.

Peel Wood Fired Pizza truly delivered on its seasonal dessert, presenting something that, as the waiter claimed, ‘brought people in time after time.’

The Pumpkin Creme Brulee was served to us on a long, rectangular plate with the golden square of pure decadence placed beside two soft, chewy gingersnap cookies. The caramel topping was torched

Peel Wood Fired Pizza: to perfection with three toasted pecans resting on the top. The glaze cracked gently as we enjoyed it, the creamy goodness of the pumpkin custard set off by the dark sweetness of the hard caramel shell.

This was one of the most amazing desserts we had ever tried and it was hard not to lick the plate when we finished. It was definitely something that we will be going back for until the season is complete.

Butternut Squash Ravioli & Caramel Apple Scone

and the pasta used to make the ravioli was also a bit gummy, but the garnishes helped eliminate those issues. The dish is available in large and small portion sizes, but we would recommend getting a small since the pasta is filling and the raviolis are not bite-sized, so they can be cut in half for easy consumption.

The caramel apple scone is tasty as well, and it puts an unconventional spin on a fall time favorite. Filled with caramel and cinnamon apple bits, this dessert fails to disappoint any sweet tooth and maintains good taste while still managing to not be overly sugary. This dessert is topped with a caramel icing and in the center there is a small portion of apple filling which adds a good texture contrast from the firm outside of the scone. When it comes to size, this treat is a little larger than the average scone making it an easily sharable item.

Overall, the desert is a little sticky to handle, but delicious none the less.

If you are looking for a tasty seasonal dish then look no further than St. Louis Bread Co. This fall has seen the return of a few customer favorites, as well as some brand new menu items.

Two of the new additions are the butternut squash ravioli and the caramel apple scone. Both are very lovely choices for almost anyone, especially if you like meals that highlight seasonal foods and ingredients.

The butternut squash ravioli is delicious and while its name is straightforward, it still presents itself as an original dish. The ravioli itself is filled with puréed squash flavored with butter and brown sugar which creates a very subtle flavor, but the additional baby arugula and crisp onion bits used as garnish add a strong yet balanced boost to the overall bite. The ravioli is also covered in a creamy garlic sauce that mends all of the individual ingredients together.

Be careful how much onion and arugula you put in each bite though — it can become easily overpowering and leave an unpleasant taste. Texturally, it is mushy considering the ravioli filling

The Cheesecake Factory’s pumpkin cheesecake is a seasonal opportunity best not missed. The St. Louis Galleria location offers a delectable slice, albeit for $9; it’s worth the price, but maybe not the drive.

Don’t be fooled; the Cheesecake Factory offers more than pastries as its name implies. When first walking into the establishment, you will catch a welcoming whiff of such delicacies as stuffed chicken tortillas, chicken bellagio and shepherd's pie from the overwhelming menu.

The wait was relatively long – 10 minutes – but the warm, welcoming decor compensated for the wait time.

You’ll feel like you’re at home.

The service was quick once we were seated. Despite the place being very busy, the hospitality was very nice and we were greeted with a smile. Once we sat down and

ordered, everything was very prompt, and the cheesecake didn’t disappoint.

The pumpkin cheesecake was garnished with a fluffy helping of whipped cream, and topped off with crushed pecans which gave it an artisan flair. It was cool to the taste and had a buttery aftertaste to it. The crust had a way of melting in your mouth. If pumpkin isn’t your thing, maybe a helping of the chocolate tuxedo cream cheesecake, or the Snickers bar chunks cheesecake might satisfy your sweet tooth all the same.

The next time you’re in St. Louis, go on down to the Galleria’s Cheesecake Factory for a nice, pumpkin cheesecake if you’d like a nice, tasty autumn experience.

Fall favorites Culver’s pumpkin cheesecake concrete mixer

a z e iz e P ul d r e B a d ir e F m antle d e m s A e o r y al o C / W in o b r t e l k e p ho rn e P tu P um P

Ice cold temperatures and rich warm flavors don’t usually mingle as well as they do in Culver’s pumpkin cheesecake concrete mixer. With its cream color swirled with pumpkin orange, this exclusive fall item brings together the comfort of home and the commemoration of fall, with a secret ingredient: cheesecake.

The mixture of pumpkin pie filling, rich cheesecake syrup, bite-size cheesecake pieces and Culver’s creamy frozen vanilla custard creates a concrete mixer that is sure to satisfy the appetite of the lucky individuals who taste it.

Although this dessert has a steep price, even a medium-sized concrete can provide satisfaction for more than one serving. Culver’s also provides an assortment of coupons, one of which offers a free concrete mixer with the purchase of a medium-sized one. Furthermore, it comes in several sizes. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you get a mini or a short size if

you’re enjoying this after a meal.

Not only does this delicacy have a wonderful taste, it is delightful to enjoy in the company of the fine staff of Culver’s, known for its great service and pleasant faces. The wait for the concrete mixer was no more than two minutes, and it was brought to where I was seated by an amiable staff member.

The fall decorations, such as the Halloween window stickers, enhanced the mood of this delicious pumpkin snack. However, it can also be enjoyed outside in the outdoor seating that Culver’s provides, or in your car with Culver’s convenient drive-thru.

If you’re looking for a way to reminisce on the summer with ice cream and welcome the fall with a pumpkin flavor, do so by enjoying Culver’s pumpkin cheesecake concrete mixer.

harvest salad & porky fig pizza We went into Dewey’s Pizza in Edwardsville to try two of its seasonal dishes: the harvest salad and the porky fig pizza.

The wait time on ordering was extremely minimal, and our service was impeccable.

The harvest salad was served quickly, and contained field greens, figs, applewood bacon, roasted pumpkin seeds and Boursin cheese, all covered in apple cider vinaigrette. The most striking thing about this dish was the clash in differing textures and flavors of the ingredients, with the figs providing a uniquely subtle sweetness along with the creaminess of the Boursin cheese and crunch of the pumpkin seeds.

We thoroughly enjoyed combining each of the different ingredients on our fork and how they

played off of each other; however, if one already is not a fan of figs or creamier types of cheese, it may be a bit more difficult to enjoy this dish.

The porky fig pizza was prepared and served to our table quickly. This pizza had a fig-jam base sauce with mozzarella, Gorgonzola and fontina cheese, caramelized red onions and prosciutto. The first bite of this pizza was surprising, to say the least. We weren’t prepared for just how sweet the pizza was going to be, but combined with the saltiness of the cheese and prosciutto, we found it to be delicious.

We would recommend both of these dishes to more adventurous eaters, and especially those who are fig fanatics.

Jilly’s Cupcake Bar and Cafe CAramel Apple & Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

Jilly’s Cupcake Bar and Cafe, located on Delmar Blvd. in St. Louis, has been on the Food Network several times, and for good reason.

The cupcakes here are inventive and big enough to be worth the money. Due to the sheer massiveness of the cupcakes, we had only two of the five October cupcakes: caramel apple and pumpkin cheesecake.

Caramel apple is a vanilla cupcake filled with baked apples and topped with a mound of caramel apple buttercream and caramel, dipped in chopped nuts; then, on top of that, a dark chocolate straw. Pumpkin cheesecake is a pumpkin cheesecake cupcake filled with dulce de leche caramel and topped with pumpkin spice and vanilla buttercreams, fall spices and candied pecans.

Cupcakes don’t get more autumnal than these. As with all of Jilly’s cupcakes, the cake is moist, and the buttercream was perfectly creamy and not too buttery.

If we had any misgivings about Jilly's cupcakes, it is that there is just so much to the whole package. There is about a 2:1 frosting to cupcake ratio, and while it’s all so delicious, it should really come with a glucose monitoring kit. Jilly’s cupcakes are best shared or eaten at a leisurely pace.

The October cupcakes include caramel apple, pumpkin cheesecake, tick or treat, smurtle and Jilly’s coffee crumb cake.

Maeva’s coffee Autumn spice buttercake & pumpkin spice frappe

We went over to Alton to try the seasonal foods at Maeva’s Coffee, a rather Bohemian coffeehouse located inside of an old, renovated schoolhouse.

The atmosphere at Maeva’s is very relaxed, and the service there was quite accommodating. We ordered three of their seasonal items off of the menu: an autumn spice buttercake, a pumpkin spice frappe and later during our stay, we ordered the caramel cider steamer.

The autumn spice buttercake was a pleasant deviation from more traditional iterations of buttercakes, gooey or otherwise.

There was a distinct pumpkin-spiced flavor with the classic buttercake texture, creamy and sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. We had the cake along with a tall glass of pumpkin spice frappe. The frappe certainly had a strong pumpkin spice flavor, but it had a

The Alestle // 8 delicate sweetness as opposed to some other pumpkin drinks.

Once we finished the cake and frappe, we went ahead and ordered the caramel cider steamer, which stands apart from most hot ciders we’ve had due to the subtle, caramel aftertaste. The drink itself is initially very tangy, but does subside into caramel notes afterwards. It was a good follow-up to the frappe, which has a more quiet, subtle flavor.

Maeva’s also offers two other seasonal frappes: praline and toasted marshmallow, which due to the popularity of the latter, was sold out by the time of our arrival. We would highly recommend visiting Maeva’s not only for its coffee, but the quirky and almost eccentric artist’s atmosphere.

Bobby’s frozen custard Just five minutes from Edwardsville is a slice of heaven in the form of the pumpkin pie concrete at Bobby’s Frozen Custard in Maryville, Ill. Well, technically the slice isn’t of heaven; it’s pumpkin pie! They mix real pumpkin pie into frozen vanilla custard to make the most perfect concoction of a fall dessert. When you order any size of the pumpkin pie con-

crete, for a reasonable price at that, you also get a free mini pumpkin. I don’t necessarily see why you would need mini pumpkins, but it’s so festive and fun, everyone just goes with it anyways. Be sure to visit Bobby’s on a day that isn’t too chilly, because there is no indoor seating available.

For those of you who are of age, be on the hunt this fall for Pumking, a seasonal pumpkin ale made by the Southern Tier Brewing Company. It’s actually made with pumpkin, which is one of the few reasons on the list of reasons why this beer stands out.

Sold in bottles at a variety of grocery stores, we found our beverage on tap at Global Brew Tap House and Lounge in Edwardsville.

Before even taking your first sip, you can smell a hint of pumpkin pie spices, vanilla and roasted pecans coming from the deep

copper liquid. This sounds off-putting, but the malty sweetness flavor of you experience after first tasting this beer makes the glass hard to put down.

Compared to other ales, Pumking has a low bitterness to it, so if you like sweeter beverages, this is the one for you. This is like the pumpkin spice latte of beers, so if you’re looking to add a little alcohol to your basic white-girl status, make sure to pick up Pumking by Southern Tier Brewing Company.

Men’s soccer dominates in 4-0 victory With three first-half goals, the offense exploded for the men’s soccer team on Saturday, Oct. 18. The team won 4-0 to beat Drake University (3-8-2 overall, 1-2 Missouri Valley Conference) and continued a four-game win streak.

Co-Head Coach David Korn said the team’s fourth conference win of the season was a continuance of the players’ belief in the game plan.

“I think what we wanted to get out of tonight was a win,” Korn said. “We definitely wanted to continue to defend well so we could get a shutout, which was great.

At one point of the season we said these four games are the next part of our season. We wanted to make sure we did certain things in each of those games. I thought we have done them well.”

SIUE (4-6-2, 4-0) got on the board early in the first half, with a goal from junior defender Justin Bilyeu. Bilyeu hit a high cross into Drake’s box that caught the opposition’s goalkeeper off his back line.

The ball floated down past the goalie’s reach and into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead.

It was Bilyeu’s first goal of the year.

In the 37th minute, the Cougars doubled their lead off a corner kick. Drake’s goalkeeper fumbled a cross inside the 6-yard box and smacked it down to the foot of SIUE senior defender Matt Polster. Polster

blasted a volley between the posts for his third goal of the season.

SIUE’s dominant scoring run in the first half ended on a counter-attack. Senior forward Christian Volesky controlled a lofted through ball and laid it off to redshirt junior forward Garet Christianson.

Christianson took on the away team’s goalkeeper one-on-one and beat him, bending the ball around the goalkeeper for the 3-0 lead.

It was Christianson’s third goal of the season. Volesky’s assist was his team-high third of the year.

In the 59th minute, Volesky improved the team’s lead with the first goal of the second half. Fighting off three Drake defenders, Voleksy controlled the ball until he was alone with the Drake goalkeeper. He blasted the shot past the opposition for his team-high seventh goal of the season.

With four goals from four different players, Korn said he enjoyed the spread of the offense.

“I think the thing that’s been nice is now that we’ve gotten into conference play, we’ve had a good balance to our attack,” Korn said. “It’s good to see [Christianson] come on in conference.”

It was the third time during the team’s four-game win streak it has shutout the opposition. Korn said the players’ work ethics have helped them attain this goal.

“One thing I would compliment the

guys on is their training mentality the last week has been better,” Korn said. “That’s ultimately been a reason why we’ve had good performances.”

With less than 10 minutes in the game, players who had not played often this season were rotated in. Korn said their contribution to the game could not be forgotten.

“I thought one of the things we did well, even in the last few minutes of the game with some of our guys who haven’t played as much or have less experience, they shared the ball,” Korn said. “The moves that they made were the right soccer decisions.

They didn’t make an individual choice. They made a team choice. I think those things ultimately led to our success.”

The Cougars’ next game is at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 22, in DeKalb, where the team takes on Northern Illinois University.

Korn said despite not being a conference opponent, NIU will prove a tough test for the Cougars, and he expects the same results.

“Now we have to continue to [work hard,]” Korn said. “We have to be just as hungry.”

The men’s soccer team returns home at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, when it goes against Missouri State University at Korte Stadium.

Cougar Highlights: Cross country teams finish regular season with successful races at Bradley Pink Classic At the Bradley Pink Classic, the men’s and women’s cross country teams both had multiple runners set personal bests in the last regular season meet of the year.

For the men, junior Clint Kliem set a personal best, running the race in 25 minutes, 9 seconds. The time is a top-10 best in

SIUE history.

For the women, the top five finishers for the Cougars, including junior Kirby Hale who led the team with her time of 22:42, ran their best races of their collegiate careers.

Outscoring its opponents 52 during the weekend, the women’s soccer team remained in first place in the Ohio Valley Conference with two victories.

Playing away from Korte Stadium for both games, the team defeated Morehead State University 2-1 on Friday, Oct. 17, and completed a perfect weekend by winning against Eastern Kentucky University 31 on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Head Coach Derek Burton said the team got better as the weekend went on.

“It was a solid weekend,” Burton said. “We did what we needed to do to get a couple wins on the road. We didn’t start great on Friday, but improved in the second half and kept improving as the weekend went along. We did have a good start on Sunday, which got us going and kind of established what we wanted to do. We were able to put three goals on the board on Sunday to really help things, especially the late one really helped us ease any late game anxiety that can be there when you’re just up by one.”

On Friday, a pair of freshmen worked together to take the early lead against Morehead State. In the 27th minute, freshman forward Mariah Vollmer collected a pass from fellow freshman forward Emily Grahl, and put the ball past the goalkeeper for her second goal of the year. The pass gave Grahl a team-high five assists.

The team’s lead doubled in the 60th minute. Junior midfielder Cassidy Sherman hit a deep shot from 30 yards out that ended up over the opposing goalkeeper’s head and into the back of the net. It was Sherman’s third goal of the year.

Burton said the goal was not just important for Sherman, but for the team as a whole.

“It was a quality goal, a quality finish from [Sherman,]” Burton said. “Also it was a little

more breathing room, and helped us settle in a little bit in the second half. We played well after that.”

The home team’s only goal of the game came minutes later off a penalty kick. Junior goalkeeper Jennifer Pelley was unable to make the stop, but ended the game with five saves for the victory.

On Sunday, the Cougars had three different scorers on their way to their fourth road victory of the year.

In the 14th minute, Grahl sent a through ball over the EKU defense. Senior forward Michelle Auer ran down the ball, and beat the opposing goalkeeper one-on-one for the 10 lead. It was Auer’s team-high sixth goal of the season and extended Grahl’s assist lead to six.

Burton said Auer is scoring more this season in part to having a clean bill of health. “[Auer’s] been a scorer her whole life,” Burton said. “It’s nice for her to play and see her be able to bounce back from last year. She really played injured all of last year. She wasn’t herself.

Being her senior year, it’s nice to see her getting the points and make an impact in that way.”

Talking about Grahl, Burton said the coaching staff did not know what her production would be like in her freshman year, but they are pleased with her influence this year.

“You never quite know, when a freshman’s coming in, how impactful they’ll be,” Burton said. “We obviously recruited [Grahl] because of her tenacity and her willing to work hard. Certainly, she’s utilizes those positives, those strengths.

She utilizes those pretty well to be effective.”

After letting in a goal, the Cougars took the lead back in the 32nd minute off a corner kick. Sherman got her head on the kick and sent it to junior forward Katye Skrivan. Skrivan handled the header and put the ball away | pg. 11

| from pg.10

for her second goal of the campaign. Auer and Sherman were given assists on the play.

Skrivan’s name got on the score sheet again in the 77th minute, this time assisting on the goal. Skrivan sent a pass to freshman forward Caroline Hoefert, who headed the ball in for her second goal of the season and the 3-1 lead.

With five different players scoring during the weekend, Burton said the team showed its depth in the two victories.

“It helps us when other teams are looking to prepare for us,” Burton said. “It’s not like you can shut one person down,

Volleyball struggles continue, go 0-2 during weekend "

With two losses during the weekend, the volleyball team dropped to 1-7 in the Ohio Valley Conference.

On Friday, the Cougars came up short against Southeast Missouri State 14-25, 19-25, 2527.

Junior middle blocker Kristen Torre and freshman outside hitter Emily Harrison finished the night with seven kills apiece. Sophomore outside hitter Alicia Streetar and senior libero Chelsea Colclasure each contributed 12 digs in the match.

The team’s downfall came in its 28 errors, opposed to the Redhawks’ 8.

Head Coach Leah Johnson said a big reason the team is not winning is because of its high level of errors.

“Other teams are playing more efficiently and we are just playing inefficiently,” Johnson said.

“Right now we are giving up over a third of our points, so in a threeset match, we have given them 35 percent of their points.”

On Saturday, the team fell to the University of Tennessee at Martin 16-25, 20-25, 16-25.

Torre led the Cougars with 12 kills on the match, followed by Held with eight and Harrison with six. Colclasure had 19 digs on the night.

Johnson said in Saturday’s match, the team started out flat, waiting until set two to start being aggressive.

“That’s been something I’ve

been saying all season, but yet the execution side of being aggressive still isn’t there,” Johnson said. “In set two, the last 10 points were the most aggressive we played the whole match. Our team needs to be more diligent about that mindset from point one.”

Johnson said the team’s outside hitters showed improvement during the weekend’s matches.

“Two of the three [outside hitters] had positive hitting performances and were terminal,” Johnson said. “They are still not as efficient as we need them to be, but are becoming more of a threat.

We need to continue to get [freshman outside hitter] Ashley Witt and [Torre] more involved in the offense, but we do have better balance. For the second half, that will benefit us more than just our two key players being the go-to.”

Johnson said the second half of the season begins next weekend and gives the team a clear mindset.

“We’ve got to focus on winning the second half,” Johnson said. “That can be going undefeated or going .500, but whatever that is, we want to look at the second half as a completely new season. It’s going to be a fresh start, a fresh look and a fresh effort.

It’s zero-zero in this half, and that’s exciting because we can still play our way into the tournament.”

The Cougars’ next game is at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, at Murray State University.

It’s also important in illustrating what we’ve always tried to do with our program, which is to have lots of people ready to make an impact and not fear taking on a responsibility of putting the ball in the back of the net. Anyone can do it at any given time.”

Pelley had three saves in the game.

With three games remaining in the OVC schedule, the Cougars take on Jacksonville State — the second place team in the conference — at 7 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 24, traveling to Jacksonville, Ala. Burton said the team used

Tuesday and Wednesday to get ready for the challenge.

“Leading up to the game on Friday, it’s really going to be the same approach we took last week,” Burton said. “[On Tuesday,] we look at ourselves improving some of the things we need to clean up from the weekend’s game, and certainly recover.”

The Cougars return home at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, when they go against Southeast Missouri State University in the final game of the regular season.
