Dave Dardis, of Makanda, admires his Grim Reaper sculpture Tuesday at Rainmaker Art Studio in Makanda. This year will be Dardis’ 40th year making and selling metal jewelry and sculptures. Dardis has been preparing for Makanda’s annual Spring Fest, which is set for Saturday and Sunday. He said 5,000-7,000 people typically attend the local art and music festival.

Virtual tours give insight into universities TREY BRAUNECKER Daily Egyptian A new virtual touring website could make picking the right college easier for incoming freshman. CNN posted a video April 16 about an online university-touring site, Unigo. com, that features pictures, videos and different university reviews in more than 1,600 higher education institutions across America. Prospective college students who use the site can read reviews written by university students and information not normally shared through universities. The site is also constantly updated so students have the latest information available to find the right programs for incoming freshmen.

It also features pictures and student reviews that pertain to SIU. Paul Copeland, undergraduate admissions customer service assistant and campus visit program manager, said it is important for students to know the physical campus before they enroll. “What we want to do is help students understand what is available here so they can make the right decision,” he said. “Everyone has choices, so we want people to come in with their eyes open and see what is available for the students.” University tours help students become more familiar with the campus and what faculty expect of students, Copeland said. “Part of the walking tour is showing

the housing area, to give an idea of what the residence halls look like,” he said. “We also set up opportunities to meet with academic departments so they can talk about their programs, research and study opportunities and what class work students will be doing,” he said. However, being able to virtually view what the campus looks like, where campus facilities are located and the university’s academic programs makes it more available to new students, he said. Although online tours only provide a general campus view, they are helpful in readily making information available to prospective students, he said. Please see TOURS | 3

Officials are working to clarify sections of the university’s student code of conduct. Student Rights and Responsibilities director Chad Trisler said his department must update the code every five years, and many changes are under way for the 2013-2014 code. Many simply involve reworking the present code to avoid confusion, he said. The new code will reduce the revisions to every two years instead of five and create one document every student can look at and understand what’s expected of them, he said. Trisler said a committee composed of students, staff and faculty was formed to determine updates, he said, and the group was thorough in their analysis and decisions. “At this point we have what we think is a pretty solid draft, but we want every student, every staff and faculty member to tell us what they think we missed or what they think should be in there,” he said. Dean of Students Katherine Sermersheim delivered a campus-wide email April 23 that requested commentary on the proposed changes from anyone who wishes to provide it. Anyone can download the new code and comment, Trisler said, and the new code will go into effect sometime this summer for the fall semester. “We’re asking for anything,” he said. Undergraduate Student Government President Elect Adrian Miller, a sophomore from Carbondale studying political science, said incorporating the student’s voice is the most important policy change in the code. “Administrators might not understand the student (or) the situation,” he said. “To be able to have the student’s voice present on that appeals process will reassure the students that the university does care about the students, and that they are striving to do things to ensure that they are represented.” Cheating is one issue the code addresses. Trisler said the process for dealing with a student who is caught cheating is too long of a process that could take months and includes the professor addressing the student. The complaint then travels to the department’s chair, then the dean and then the provost. Code updates could shorten the process by making it much more specific in what must be done when, and issues will go directly to the department dean to resolve the issue in half the time, he said. Harassment is another issue the code mentions but does not clearly define, especially concerning the Internet, he said. Please see CODE | 3

State program to increase campus safety, readiness MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian Universities statewide are participating in a test program designed to inform students that safety is a high priority on their campus. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency announced a pilot program April 22 for the Ready to Respond Campus initiative, a program that will set rigorous standards for universities to meet in order to receive program designation. The certification will allow universities to use approval in their promotional material and allow parents and students to determine whether their university places high importance on campus safety. SIU is one of nine participating schools in

the program alongside the University of Illinois in Champaign and Columbia College in Chicago, according to the IEMA website. The program is expected to expand to other schools and universities January 2014, according to the website. Brian Brackemyer, Illinois Emergency Management Agency regional coordinator, said the program’s university-level role is to have adequate safety plans that are updated and to practice safety measures for each university. IEMA director Jonathon Monken created the program concept, he said. Brackemyer said the campuses must demonstrate compliance with standards such as hazard identification, operational and violence prevention planning, incident management,

training and exercises to attain the Ready to Respond designation. However, Todd Sigler, department of public safety director, said the program is an extension of safety programs and preparations that DPS has been working on for several years. “This is sort of an outgrowth of work that the university has already been doing in regards to all hazards planning,” he said. “As of 2008, college campuses and community colleges of Illinois are required to have an emergency response plan ready to go, prepared and on file.” The pilot project is exciting because it allows the department to look over its plan and fix any gaps or flaws that might be in some plans, Sigler said. While it would be nice to receive

the Ready to Respond rating, he said, the department’s main focus has always been safety first. “We don’t do it for gratitude,” he said. “We do it so that the campus can be as prepared and as safe as possible for students, faculty, staff and visitors. To get the recognition, to successfully complete the program and to be certified ... as a campus ready to respond, we would take a lot of pride and satisfaction in that.” Sigler said the pilot program covers areas of campus safety such as communication, how to continue in disaster aftermath and how to handle media outlets.

“If you are looking at the academic programs we offer, the virtual tour can point you to certain university facilities like the College of Engineering, College of Education, mass communication, media arts, liberal arts, all those elements are embedded in the tour,” he said. “If someone is just browsing the web and needs insight, the virtual tours can really help you in the right direction.” Ideally, he said, virtual tours would help convince prospective students to visit the university in person. Tedgie Morgan, admission counselor and campus visit program supervisor, said it is important to keep up with technological trends because of the new generation of students the university wants to recruit,. “The students we are trying to bring to the university are a technologicallybased generation, and they are more computer and web savvy,” she said “A lot of students start their search online, so it is important that we try to reach out to those prospective students.” Morgan said many people who want to attend college start their search online, so ensuring the university maintains a web presence is important. However, she said, as convenient as virtual tours are for students without the time or money to check out universities individually, the tours do not have the same personal touch that comes with an on-campus visit. “We are all consumers, so we make decisions based on how we feel

and how comfortable we are with a product, or if we feel it is a good investment for our money,” Morgan said. “With a virtual tour, you do not get to that personalized touched or feel that you would from a tour of campus in person.” Some students said online tours are a good option for prospective students to gauge universities’ options, but websites do not replace a physical tour. Mark Shannon, a freshman from Chicago studying kinesiology, said physical campus tours are more effective than virtual tours because it helps students understand a college layout. “Virtual tours can help students by giving information like tuition or academic programs, but it definitely takes a tour on campus if you want to see what college life is like firsthand,” he said. Dante Leveritte, a junior from Fayetteville, N.C. studying radiotelevision, said on-campus tours are welcoming to prospective students, but virtual tours can help give a more general view of a particular university. “I used to be a tour guide for the university, so I know guides are a first look into college life for students,” he said. “(Students) are getting some real experience from someone who has been there. I know the online virtual tours are more in-depth than they used to be, and keeping that information updated and open to the public gives a good overview of the campus.” Trey Braunecker can be reached at tbraunecker@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 259

While the university is working to improve its programs, several students said they already feel safe from natural and man-made disasters at the university. Eric Churilla, a sophomore from Maryville studying nursing, said he thinks half of student safety is students’ personal responsibilities. Churilla feels safe from any disasters such as tornados and mass shootings, he said. Jeffrey Hughes, a junior from Waukegan studying sociology,

Trisler said the definitions for harassment will be more clearly defined and set to include social media in the process. This includes bullying in all forms, defining it in social media as consistent and repeated behavior. However, Trisler said the harassment’s definition cannot interfere with students’ rights to freedom of speech via social media. The old code would say something was against university policy, such as physical assault or harassment, but doesn’t give an exact definition. The new code seeks to define these topics more clearly so everyone understands exactly what actions violates the code, he said. The code also doesn’t address alcohol, Trisler said. The rules enforced with alcohol are in the

3 said he thinks the systems the university has set up and good communication between most students will eliminate almost any chance of a disaster affecting the university. “I feel like we have a very good system in place in case of a tornado or something like that,” he said. “I feel like all the students intermingle with each other, so I don’t feel like (anyone) is going to come and shoot up the school.” Matt Enger, a junior from Morris studying forest hydrology, said while he is unsure how the

university would handle an actual incident, he thinks they at least have plans in place. “I think the system they have in place, they obviously have it rehearsed,” he said. “For instance, the last tornado warning that came about, all the teachers and all the employees of the school acted quickly, got everyone into safe buildings. It seems pretty organized and wasn’t chaotic or anything.” Matt Daray can be reached at mdaray@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 254.

building and facilities policy — a document most students don’t think to look at, he said. Michael Uphoff, code committee member and senior from Monticello studying industrial technology, said beer pong has also been banned in the past, but conduct loopholes allow the game when it is entitled “water pong,” which is the same as beer pong using water. The entire game will be banned on campus, he said.

As many rules as there are in the code, there is an appeals process for students who are accused of breaking these rules. It also will be revised for students’ benefit and give them a chance to address hearing committees directly, a part of the process not allowed before, Trisler said.

FBI releases photo, statement concerning university threats

PROVIDED PHOTO

Editor’s note: The FBI released a statement Tuesday that requests help from the community regarding the series of threats the university received during the fall semester. The statement’s texts reads as follows. “As the public is aware, someone sent communications during the fall semester of 2012, threatening acts of mass targeted violence against the entire SIU Carbondale community. The language was frightening and law

enforcement responded quickly and appropriately. Although no one has been harmed by this person so far, this is not a harmless prank. Evacuations caused by threats are disruptive and create safety hazards to others. We would like to ask for assistance from the community. This person sending these communications may be known to those around him as having one or multiple grievances related to what he perceives to have been

a wrong or a series of wrongs done to him. He may have been continually angry during the fall semester and prone to making rash, if unbelievable, statements about his complaints. He is likely to be immature and lacking in focus. The person is probably familiar with the SIU campus and campus life, although is not necessarily a student or former student. We would ask the author to please write again, to explain how he has been wronged and what can be done to address these concerns. We are also releasing selected handwriting from one of these communications. We are asking the public to examine this unusual printing to see if it is familiar. Anyone with information is asked to call 618-453-3771.”

“After that 85, I didn’t know what is going to do,” Harms said. “I calmed down and realized I can’t do much worse than that and then came out with a 69 and shot a 72 today.” Newton said he was proud of Harms’ ability to recover from his first round. “He was really down after the 85, but I kept track of him and kept talking with him,” he said. “He

They don’t give up.” Senior Jake Erickson’s 228 over three rounds had him finish tied for 17th overall. Fellow senior Brandon Cauldwell finished with a tie for 26th place. Cauldwell’s score was not good enough to earn a tournament award, but he earned All-Conference honors for his season performance. He finished with a team-low 73.5

stroke average, which is the MVC’s fourth-lowest stroke average. Goelzhaser, Harms and Erickson earned flags for finishing in the tournament’s top 18. Newton said he was proud of his team’s performance over player careers, especially the seniors. “The seniors, they were the team,” he said. “They worked with our juniors and worked with our freshman. While they were taking time to help their teammates, well, they were just getting better themselves.”

Junior infielder Ryan Casillas drives the ball Sunday during the Salukis’ 5-2 loss to Wichita State University at Abe Martin Field. Wichita State scored three runs off of two Saluki errors in the sixth inning. The Salukis host Belmont University at 3 p.m. today at Abe Martin Field.

Close games make or break Dawgs The

With Jack Robinson The Salukis have lost 16 games by three runs or less this season, and the team looks to improve on late-game errors for these final 11 games. It seems every time the Salukis are close to sealing a win, there is

some extraordinary error or play that deflates them. The team can be in good shape for the playoffs if it can improve on these minor errors. There is more emphasis on the team’s mental state in the playoffs. I see no reason why SIU won’t return to the MVC championship for the secondconsecutive year if the team’s morale is high and the Salukis can travel well and play through adversity. The Salukis have worked against themselves more than their opponents this season. SIU has 64 errors to its opponents’ 59 errors and have a .961

team fielding percentage. Senior outfielder Austin Montgomery has been a team leader in batting this season, as he boasts a .337 batting average. Montgomery hit his sixth home run during Saturday’s game against the Wichita State Shockers and has driven in 34 RBIs this year. With Montgomery feeling confident, he can get the Salukis going when the team needs offense. Besides Montgomery, junior infielder Jake Welch has a high .317 batting average and provides a spark for the Salukis in base running. Welch has 17 stolen bases on 19 attempts and has

also posted 42 runs this season. Along with having an offensive side, Welch holds a .950 fielding percentage and has put out 79 runners this season. With a player such as Welch on a hot streak going into the the season’s tail end, he can provide the spark the team could use late in the season. The Salukis’ struggle this year has been hitting with runners on base. SIU has left several runners stranded and left 14 runners on base in an April 21 game against Creighton University. The team has tried to improve hitting in situations with runners on base during practice. However, head coach

Ken Henderson, said there is no way to recreate a genuine game scenario in practice. Saluki pitching has been consistent throughout the season. Team ace senior pitcher Cody Forsythe broke the SIU record in career starts Friday with his win against WSU. Forsythe has a seasonal 2.79 ERA and has struck out 45 batters, which is second on the team to sophomore pitcher Sam Coonrod, who has 48 strikeouts on the season. Please see BREAK | 5

MEN’S GOLF

Salukis take third at MVC championships MATT FERGUSON Daily Egyptian After back-to-back bottom finishes at the Missouri Valley Championship, the Salukis ended the 2013 season with a thirdplace finish. The first two rounds of play positioned SIU at third with a score of 600. They maintained

third with Illinois State taking second and Wichita State winning the tournament by 32 strokes. Coach Leroy Newton said he was happy to be back among the top three MVC finishers. “I am thrilled to death for the kids,” Newton said. “They all worked hard before the tournament and were a team.”

Senior Joe Goelzhauser’s 148 score through the first two rounds made him the only Saluki to finish in the tournament’s top 10. He finished No. 9 overall after scoring 74 on the final round with an overall 222 tournament score. The final score tied him for his second lowest three-round score on the season.

Goelzhauser said he was ecstatic to get his game on track. “I’m just glad I could finally get my game together and start playing well,” he said. “I was being patient with my game and driving the ball consistently. If you keep it on the fairway on this course you can do really well.” After having a Saluki worst score

of 85 in the first round, junior Caleb Harms shot a team-low 69 the following round. His 226 final score was good enough for 13th overall. The finish was the highest he has placed in any tournament this season. Please see CHAMPIONSHIPS | 5
