Study shows increased need for MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian

ZANE ECKLUND | DAILY EGYPTIAN SIU women’s tennis players Meagan Monaghan, Polina Dozortseva, Lauren Hoekstra and coach Audra Anderson participate in a team building exercise Saturday at the Campus Lake Boat Dock. “It is good to do stuff like this so the team gets to know each other and build their team skills in an environment that is not as stressful as competition or practice,” Anderson said. The SIU women’s tennis team was ranked 59th in the nation in a Feb. 29 Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll.

CHRISTOPHER HICKS Daily Egyptian There was a dream 50 years ago, and for many that dream is still alive today. The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom is documented as one of the largest political rallies for human rights in United States history, a movement that called for civil and economic rights for blacks. Organized by a group of civil rights, labor and religious organizations, the march consisted of more than 200,000 people. Observers estimated that nearly 80 percent of the marchers were black. Fifty years later, university community members

continue to celebrate the event but still acknowledge the need for continual progress. Derrick Williams, Black Resource Center coordinator, said his organization will be working in conjunction with Benjamin Smith, student coordinator of the Black Male Initiative, to bring awareness to the 50th anniversary of this historic day by hosting an anniversary event at 5 p.m. today outside of the lower level of Grinnell. “What a lot of people don’t know is that there were a lot of unsung heroes that spoke that day, particularly A. Phillip Randolph,” Williams said. “We want to highlight the hidden heroes of that day. A lot of the speeches that were given before Dr. King really laid out a detailed plan of action on how

Students across the nation are turning to loans and grants more often to help pay for college. According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, 71.4 percent of students in the country received some type of financial aid during the 20112012 school year. The study, released Aug. 20, was conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. Data from the study indicated that the number of students needing aid has risen from the 2007-2008 school year, when 66 percent of students required some form of aid. These numbers coincide with Southern Illinois University’s data, which shows a rising need for aid. University officials say they are doing everything possible to make the university as affordable as possible for students as aid turns from a necessity to a need. Chancellor Rita Cheng said financial aid is important for all students to have because the cost of college has become high. “I think the president has really affirmed for everybody the importance of a college education, that it is the single most important investment students can make in their futures,” she said. “But at the same time, I believe that we all recognize that it’s never been more expensive.”

to organize for jobs. This was a multi-racial march, not just for African-Americans.” Brandon Willingham, Alpha Phi Alpha president, said that his organization plans to get involved on Wednesday to commemorate the legacy and honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “We have come far, but there is still work to be done and accomplished,” said Willingham, a senior from Olathe, Kan., studying journalism. “If we as a people would work together to get to know each other and grasp the concept of unity in all races, then we will be able to progress forward as a whole.” He said every spring semester, his organization has a campus march, as well as a meet and greet breakfast in King’s honor.

Kameron Hill, a senior from Peoria studying electronic journalism, said that being able to “communicate with any and all races” is vital in order to be able to improve. He believes that there are still many obstacles that prevent all Americans, regardless of race, from being successful. “Although many African Americans have come far, such as Barack Obama being elected president and our race obtaining the right to vote, we can’t be too proud of certain things and must continue to work hard to make sure we are equal in all aspects.” Christopher Hicks can be reached at chicks@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-6311 ext 254

Three candidates vie for newly open state House seat SETH RICHARDSON Daily Egyptian The 115th district in the Illinois House of Representatives will have a new face for the first time in nearly 20 years. Longtime state Representative Mike Bost announced he is challenging incumbent Bill Enyart for the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 12th District, which would leave the 115th district seat open. Bost has served as the district’s representative since 1995. Three candidates — two Republicans and one Democrat —

are vying for the seat. Robert White is an insurance agent and entrepreneur on the Republican ballot. He was born in Chicago and graduated high school in Ann Arbor, Mich. White joined the Army in 1988 and served in the Gulf War. His roommate in the Army suggested that he continue his education in Carbondale, prompting him to enroll at John A. Logan College in 1992. He continued to SIU, where he graduated in 1996 with a marketing degree. White married his wife, Christina, in 1993, and they moved to Nashville in 1996. The

two eventually relocated to Mount Vernon, where he opened his own insurance agency in 2003. White made his first political foray in 2008, when he ran for the Jefferson County Board. “I wanted to serve people in my county board district,” he said. “Just looking at the issues going on reading the paper, I thought, rather than complain, I’d just go out and do my best and throw in to see what I could do to help.” White was successfully elected and eventually became chairman in 2010 under a Democrat-controlled board. He retained his seat in 2012,

receiving another four-year term. White’s decision to run for the state legislature mirrored his decision to run for the county board. He wanted to be a proactive force tackling the issues at hand instead of standing by while the legislature takes no action. “While they’re fighting the issues out in Springfield, we’re still not seeing any headway,” he said. “We need effective representation up there to fight these issues.” Terri Bryant is the second Republican who hopes to fill the district’s open seat. Bryant is the Head of the Dietary Department

for the Pinckneyville Correctional Center and the Du Quoin Impact Incarceration Program. She was born in Gary, Ind., and moved to the Trico Community Unit School District in Campbell Hill. She finished high school in south Florida while spending her summers in Jackson County. She then attended John A. Logan College before she opened Murphysboro’s Blue Bell Restaurant in 1988. Bryant joined the Illinois Department of Corrections after she left the restaurant to take care of her child. Please see CANDIDATES | 4

USG looks to incoming freshmen for involvment JORDAN VANDEVEER Daily Egyptian The first Undergraduate Student Government meeting of the fall 2013 semester involved many introductions, encouragements and explanations. This year’s president, Adrian Miller, was introduced along with other members that will be a part of the council for the fall semester. Following introductions, Miller and others encouraged those in attendance to become a part of the council, or at least continue to attend the meetings in order to have a voice. The fact that most senator seats remain open is a concern of the council, but Kirstie Rulel, a junior from Aviston studying computer science and a senator for Greek Life said low involvement seems normal for the beginning of the semester. “It usually starts off pretty slow at the beginning of the year, but towards the middle we actually start getting our name out there,” she said.

‘‘

e don’t just want to sit around in our office and rock back and forth, we actually want to see things happen.

There are 41 total senate seats and only six are filled. The council showed how to become a senator step by step for anyone at the meeting interested. Information can be found at usg.rso.siu.edu. David Lynch, a junior from Rockford studying political science and economics is the council’s Executive Assistant and said USG is trying to get more students involved. “We’ve been doing a lot of marketing techniques,” Lynch said. He said USG will soon be going over ways to get their name out to the student body. They recently set up tables in the Student Center where they passed out flyers, but are going to try other approaches too.

— Oliver Keys vice president of USG Oliver Keys, a senior from East St. Louis studying automotive technology and the vice president of USG, said he is excited for the fall semester and wants to see things happen. “We don’t just want to sit around in our office and rock back and forth, we actually want to see things happen,” said Keys. Keys said USG has members on the executive board that are peer mentors and get to know the freshman through that. Keys said USG as a whole will work on ways to get this year’s large freshman class involved. Jordan VanDeveer can be reached at jvandeveer@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 259

AID

CONTINUED FROM

Cheng said it’s important for students to have financial-aid options available, and the university is taking as many steps as possible to keep costs down. She said a variety of aid options are available to students, including scholarships, grants and loan management. In 2012, SIU had 19,086 students who required some type of financial aid, with 14,401 of those students being undergraduates. The number of undergraduates and graduates consisted of 86 percent of the student body for the 2011-12 school year. Terri Harfst, director of financial aid, said in an email that the number of students requiring aid has increased over the past few years. “Over a three-year period, we have seen an increase of 3 percent of our students receive financial aid,” she said. Harfst said financial aid comes from three sources: federal aid, which consists

of Pell Grants and student loans; state aid, which consists of Illinois Student Assistance Commission grants; and institutional aid, which consists of grants and scholarships the university provides. She said she does not anticipate an increase in federal or state aid, but said the university will continue to provide institutional aid to those who need it most. The university has expanded on the amount of aid it provides, such as increasing the number of scholarships provided to students, Harfst said. “SIU has always had a tremendous interest from high achievers, but we always exhausted our scholarship funding before we could award to the entire applicant pool,” she said. “This year, Chancellor Cheng allowed us to fund more scholarships to deserving students and the results were astounding.” Some students think the university is helping out students as much as possible, despite their personal financial situations. Austin Winters, a junior from Carmi

studying speech communications, said he received a grant for transferring to the university and thinks SIU can offer the same or more opportunities for other students. “Yeah, definitely, considering so many students can afford to go here,” he said. “There has to be some sort of vast amount of financial aid going around, even if it’s a little amount of money.” Evan Marshall, a freshman from St. Louis studying education, said he receives financial aid from subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Marshall said the university has provided him with enough aid to ease his mind about having debt after college. “I am worried because of the profession I’m going into, but one of the reasons I chose to go to SIU … was because it was one of the most costefficient schools on my list,” he said.

for the district seat because of a lack of action or direction in the Capitol. “In the last 10 years, I’ve become more frustrated with how state government has been run,” she said. “When I got involved with the Illinois Lincoln Excellence in Public Service Series, it allowed me to be in Springfield and make contact with a lot of legislators there. The more I saw the things they do, the more I understood I am as qualified as the people who are serving.” Tony Mayville, from Dubois, is running unopposed as the

Democratic candidate for the district seat. Mayville is the director of mine safety for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. He is a graduate of Cahokia High School and attended Southwestern Illinois College. After a short time, Mayville joined the coal mining industry. He said he initially thought he would make some quick money and go back to school, but he eventually found himself enjoying his profession.

THEIR WORD

Affordable Care Act: Is it affordable? LOS ANGELES TIMES A new report showing a relatively modest increase in premiums for employee health coverage is either a validation or an indictment of the 2010 health-care law, depending on whose spin you believe. Supporters cite the slowing rise in health-care spending, while opponents retort that premiums are still growing faster than the economy or consumer prices. There’s a bit of truth to both sides, but more posturing. The biggest effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act won’t be seen until next year at the earliest. And while there have been some promising signs, there are worrisome ones as well. The Kaiser Family Foundation’s report on employer-sponsored health plans reminds the public of a fact that’s often forgotten in the debate: Premiums were rising fast before the law was passed, with no end in sight. It’s fatuous to blame the law for premiums going up; the real question is how, if at all, the law has affected the rate of growth.

According to Kaiser’s research, average premiums rose 5 percent for single coverage and 4 percent for families from 2012 to 2013. The share paid by employees was effectively unchanged from the previous year, averaging $999 for single coverage and $4,565 for families. Those amounts are almost twice what they were 10 years ago. But premiums have grown much more slowly in the last two years than in the 2000s, when increases of more than 9 percent were common. Economists say that premium growth slowed largely because of the slow economy. Other factors include higher deductibles and co-pays, which shift costs from insurers onto their customers, restrained spending on new technology and the introduction of more generic drugs. The law’s provisions cut both ways. The new rules it imposes on insurers, such as the requirements to offer policies to all applicants and meet federal standards for coverage, put upward pressure on premiums (albeit more so on policies sold to individuals than on employer plans, which already meet many of those requirements). The pressure is offset to some degree by the caps the law places on insurer profits, as

well as the efforts it makes to promote more efficient and higher quality healthcare. Even supporters of the law acknowledge that it didn’t go as far as it might have to hold down health-care costs, which are the biggest factor in rising premiums. The steps it does take are designed to produce savings over the long term; in the near term, it focuses mainly on covering more of the uninsured. And many of the cost-control efforts take the form of experiments within Medicare, under the hopeful assumption that the rest of the industry will adopt the ones that prove successful. The most promising sign so far has been the premiums announced by the new exchanges that states are setting up to sell policies to people who aren’t covered by employers. In most cases, they have been lower than expected. Older and ailing consumers could see their costs go down, while young and healthy ones are likely to face higher premiums than they do today for less comprehensive coverage. Analysts say the prices show that insurers are competing aggressively for the buyers who will be drawn into the market by new federal

premium subsidies. To do so, they are seeking new ways to control costs, such as by sharing risks with doctors and hospitals and providing incentives for higher quality care. Such changes in the way health care is paid for and delivered are crucial in the long run, though they are easier to describe than achieve. Of course, the law won’t accomplish anything if the government can’t implement it; a new delay or snafu is disclosed seemingly every week. Beyond that, the biggest risk is that younger, healthier people will defy the new mandate to buy coverage next year and remain uninsured. Although many could qualify for premium subsidies, they may opt instead to pay the relatively small federal penalty. And if insurers are stuck covering only sicker and riskier customers, premiums could quickly spiral upward. The first sign of such problems may come a year from now, when the exchanges announce their premiums for 2015. For now, the data from Kaiser and the exchanges suggest that costs are headed in the right direction, even if it’s not clear how much credit to give the 2010 law.

John Beyler, owner of Screaming Owl Records in Carbondale, listens to the band Soul Census rehearse Sunday in his studio. The studio has two isolation booths and provides instruments if needed. “We will officially be signing this band on Tuesday, and we’re really excited about it,” Beyler said.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Screaming Owl swoops onto local music scene ALLISON MATYUS Daily Egyptian An area recording studio is looking to expand Carbondale’s music scene and give community members a chance to put their vocal talents to use. Located on “The Island” in Carbondale next to Artistic Minds Tattoos, Screaming Owl Records has worked to make a name for itself since April 2012. Owner John Beyler said he noticed the lack of studios available for Carbondale musicians and wanted to fill that void. “There were people’s houses, garages and private studios, but there was nothing for the public or for people who wanted to pursue music,” he said. “It was either a drive to Chicago or Memphis to get to a good studio, so it seemed like a good time to open one right here in Carbondale.” An artist can record in the basement studio for $35 an hour. Beyler said the studio and its employees provide the knowledge and the equipment to help customers make music. He said with two isolation vocal booths, a live studio room for big bands and various instruments, the Screaming Owl has everything a musician would ever need. “There are a lot of things that go into a recording studio and making the sound perfect, and I think we do a good job at providing that here,” Beyler said. Screaming Owl employee Josh Combs said an artist will leave a studio session with a finished track and some added tweaks. “For the set price you can leave with a mixed product, but if it’s something you would want to go

in-depth with, like make it radioready, we can also do that for an extra fee,” he said. “It all depends on how much time someone is in here.” Beyler said the studio has worked with genres and artists across the spectrum. “So far we’ve done a lot of bluegrass and hip-hop,” he said. “The biggest person we work with right now is Project Pat from Three 6 Mafia.” While nationally known acts are using the studio, many area artists are also taking advantage of the studio time. Cold Pizza, a folk rock band from Carbondale, has been recording at the Screaming Owl since the beginning of the summer. Lead singer Ben Fuson said he has always been more than satisfied with the studio sessions. “Cold Pizza has recorded in other places in the area previous to Screaming Owl opening, but none have compared,” he said. “It has a better environment for the artist all around, where the other recording studios do not.” Screaming Owl employees are also looking to expand the studio’s name to other events. The studio collaborated with the Premiere Lounge in May to put on a show during which Project Pat performed for a packed crowd. It is also continuing to work with the Premiere Lounge for their Thursday

— John Beyler owner of Screming Owl Records night Talent Throwdown, a program with an “American Idol” vibe that begins this week. “You can bring in a band, rap or sing, or even DJ, and at the end of the semester we are going to offer a record contract,” Beyler said. “We are bringing in guest judges from the industry, and then the crowd has a vote as well. So we’re encouraging people to bring their friends.” Each genre will be judged separately at the end. Beyler hopes it is another way to get local artists out there and promote the variety of talent in Carbondale. “A lot of local bands and artists around here have just as much talent, if not more, than bigger music scenes like Nashville,” Combs said. In an effort to showcase local musical talent, the Screaming Owl began its weekly Sunset Showcase 7-10 p.m. Thursday at the Town Square Pavilion. Beyler said the event is free to the public, and people can come to see multiple acts with a wide range of genres. It’s through events like the Sunset Showcase and Talent Throwdown that Beyler hopes to strengthen the city’s music scene. “This last year, I’ve seen a lot of fire lit under people’s butts in music, which is what I like to see,” Beyler said. “We aren’t trying to be the only one doing it. We’re trying to collaborate with people so that way this town has everything.”

WORLD & NATION Startups gain appeal as some Japan Inc. names fade YURI KAGEYAMA Associated Press TO K YO — In a shabby backalley office in Shibuya, a Tokyo district known for youth culture and tech ventures, defectors from corporate Japan are hard at work for a little known company they fervently believe will be the country’s next big manufacturing success. Like a startup anywhere in the world, its bare bone setup crackles with an optimistic energy and urgent sense of purpose. What’s different, for Japan, is that this startup’s talent

is drawn from the ranks of famous companies such as Mitsubishi, Michelin and Nissan. Kohshi Kuwahara, 26, worked for more than two years at electronics giant Panasonic Corp. before hopping to Terra Motors Corp., a little known venture that pays far less but is out to conquer the world with its stylish electric scooters. As with his colleagues at Terra, he resiled from the hidebound culture of big Japanese companies and felt a deep sense of frustration at their eclipse by rivals such as South Korea’s Samsung and America’s Apple. “If you’re stuck in a system that

promotes just by seniority, it’s living a slow death like animals on a farm,” said Kuwahara. “I wanted to be in a tough competitive place.” Despite having some of the developed world’s least hospitable conditions for starting a new business, Japan’s “salaryman” culture of guaranteed lifetime employment at a household name corporation is no longer the unquestioned ideal. Ventures are sprouting again after a decade marred by some high-profile failures and a striking aspect is their focus on manufacturing. Facebook and Google they are not. They are

‘‘J

apan has the capability to innovate. But the problem is that this capability does not translate to commercial value. — Masazumi Ishii managing director of AZCA Inc.

Sony and Toyota, all over again — but with young fresh faces. Terra Motors founder and president Toru Tokushige, 43, said one sign of progress for startups is that these days they have no problems recruiting quality people.

A few years ago, all he could hire were what Japan categorized as the losers, those who had no hopes of getting hired at an established company. As Sony Corp. and other mainstream brands lose their luster, Terra is gaining a chance to shine.

Snowden name, revelations prominent in Chicago case MICHAEL TARM Associated Press C H I C AG O — Edward Snowden’s name loomed over a Chicago teenager’s terrorism case as a judge said Tuesday she must delay the trial to grapple with unresolved issues raised by the one-time government contractor’s leaks. The U.S. judge scratched Adel Daoud’s Feb. 3 trial date, citing pending defense requests for details on the role expanded U.S. surveillance programs — revealed by Snowden — may

have played in the Chicago case. A former National Security Agency contractor, Snowden sparked intense national debate after he disclosed documents illustrating the broadened scope of U.S. phone and Internet surveillance. During a status hearing, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman said she needs time to rule on the complex defense motions seeking government surveillance records. She said that means Daoud’s trial cannot start earlier than April. Daoud, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen, has

pleaded not guilty to attempting to set off what he thought was a car bomb outside a Chicago bar last year. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. At Tuesday’s hearing in Chicago, defense lawyer Thomas Durkin used Snowden’s name several times, referring to one defense motion that asked for surveillance details as the “Snowden ... matter.” “I don’t know if I’d call it the Snowden motion,” government attorney Barry Jonas responded. In a filing this month, prosecutors said they won’t use evidence directly derived from

expanded surveillance at Daoud’s trial and therefore aren’t required to produce any of the detail the defense requests. But Daoud’s lawyers say prosecutors should disclose how the surveillance might have triggered the initial investigation, saying that could provide grounds for challenging the constitutionality of subsequent evidence. Coleman’s eventual ruling about what, if anything, the government must divulge would be among the first such rulings since Snowden’s revelations. The Justice Department has since charged Snowden with espionage.

“I always give 100-percent effort every time I go,” Agnew said. “Also, if I need to say something to the team, I’ll say it because they know I’m a quiet person so usually whenever I have something to say it’s something from the heart.” Williamson and Presume are two of five players returning who scored a defensive touchdown last season. Williamson led the Salukis last season with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He had one interception and one blocked punt along with 4.5 sacks which leads all Saluki returnees. Williamson, who played at Highland Community College in Kansas, said he was pleased to gain the respect of his teammates although he has been a member of the team for a short time frame. “I’ve only been here a year and a half, and to earn the respect of your teammates is a pleasure and I look forward to it,” he said. Presume led the team last season with 78 tackles and set a school record with a 100-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Northern Iowa. He said it feels good to have

“That high school team could have won the state championship in 49 other states,” Mihelich said. Yang said she had offers from colleges in California, but wanted to go elsewhere. She said the nature was another aspect that drew her to SIU. “I wanted to experience something different, and I really like nature,” Yang said. “So being around all this green, I really like it.” Yang was one of Mihelich’s early

the respect of his teammates and to be named captain. He also said he looks forward to providing leadership for the defense. “We don’t have too many (defensive) starters returning from last year, and I was the leading tackler last year so automatically they’re looking up to me to lead the defense again this year,” Presume said. “I’m just trying to do the same thing as last year but even better.” Coach Dale Lennon said captains are critical to the management of the team and he will count on them heavily this season. “I use them extensively as far as making sure the morale is good and if there’s issues that come up they’re my sounding board and they’re also the voice to the team,” Lennon said. “They have a different responsibility than the average player and it’s not a popularity contest, they have to say what they think.”

Lennon said when it comes to attributes, all four players possess the same qualities. “I think the common denominator is that they are all the hardest workers on the team,” Lennon said. “I think the players see that, they respect that and just because of the work ethic, I think that’s the main reason they have been selected.” Junior tight end MyCole Pruitt said he is pleased with who the team selected as captains this year and is looking forward to them providing leadership to the team. “We have some versatile captains on the team this year,” Pruitt said. “We have some very vocal captains and we have some silent-leader type captains and they all are leaders in their own way.”

signings. In November, Cusumano and Yang signed to play at SIU and will both have four years of eligibility. Yang lives with Cusumano and Jin in Thompson Point, and said despite only living with the girls for a little over a week, they have already become close friends. Mihelich said that the seniors have been good role models for the freshmen to look up to and are bonding with the younger players. “They all get along; they’re already planning socials,” Mihelich said. “It’s a really friendly bunch.”

Mihelich said her goal of winning the conference is something that’s eluded her team the past two seasons. “I’ve come pretty close the last two years,” Mihelich said. “This year I think is the right mix of players to get it done.” The Salukis will participate in five tournaments this fall season, beginning Sept. 8 at the Redbird Invitational in Normal.

Salukis choose captains to lead way TERRANCE PEACOCK Daily Egyptian Captains are often looked upon to lead their team and be an extension of their head coach. With the captains for the 2013 SIU football team now in place, the team will look for them to provide guidance and a voice for the upcoming season. Senior quarterback Kory Faulkner and senior fullback Ray Agnew were chosen as offensive captains for the upcoming season, while senior linebacker Brian Presume and junior linebacker Tyler Williamson were picked as captains on the defensive side of the ball. The captains were chosen through a team vote. Faulkner and Agnew are two players who remain from the 2009 SIU team, which was the last to appear in the playoffs. Faulkner is a three-year starting quarterback and has started 18 consecutive games for the Salukis, which is the third longest active streak in the Missouri Valley Conference. Faulkner said he was honored to be chosen as a captain, but he also knows the territory that comes with that title. “It’s a privilege,” he said. “It’s definitely a great opportunity, but at the same time it’s a role you have to play. You can’t be everybody’s best friend at every time; you have to do what you feel is best for the team.” Faulkner said his job this season is to garner the role as player-coach and to be on his teammates when times get rough. “At practice, sometimes when things get hard it’s easy to take a play off, but we have to come out every day and make sure we are trying to get better,” Faulkner said. Agnew played in all 11 games at fullback for the Salukis last season and started five. Agnew said he has come a long way since he first came to the program, so being selected as captain is a big accomplishment. “My freshman year I came in and had struggles,” he said. “I was a quiet guy, so it means a lot to me to know my teammates recognize my hard work and my dedication to the team.” He said his approach to leadership is to lead by example, but he will also be a vocal leader if it comes down to it.

Coach pins championship win on freshmen golfers TYLER DIXON Daily Egyptian The women’s golf team has four new faces on a roster that hopes to capture its first conference title since 2007. Brooke Cusumano, Xianmei Jin, Savannah Myers and Kristie Yang join a team that has finished in the top three in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships for the past two seasons. Head coach Alexis Mihelich is expecting a lot from this class because she’s been watching these players since she started at SIU in August of 2011. “I have high expectations. I’ve spent the last two years recruiting these players,” Mihelich said. “They’re a right fit with the current team and, with their competitive experience, (they) come in and make an impact from the start.” Cusumano, of St. Louis, attended Westminster Christian Academy, where she was a two-time Missouri individual state champion in 2012 and 2013. In 2012, her school claimed three of the top four individual places and won the state championship as a team by 91 strokes. In 2013, Cusumano took the top spot, with her school claiming the team state championship by only 52 strokes. Cusumano’s brother plays golf for new Missouri Valley Conference entry Loyola University, where he is an all-conference performer.

From left to right, freshmen women’s golfers Brooke Cusumano, Kristie Yang, Savannah Myers and Xianmei Jin pose for a portrait Monday at Hickory Ridge Golf Course. Women’s golf coach Alexis Mihelich said she has been recruiting the players for two years and has high expectations for what they will accomplish this season. The Salukis’ first match will take place Sept. 8 at the Redbird Invitational in Normal. While Cusumano said she hasn’t seen any players from the other MVC schools, she said that if SIU plays to their potential, they will do very well against the competition. “I haven’t really seen anyone on the other

teams, so I’m just kind of playing my part,” she said. “If we all do what we can and have the ability too, we could do really good.” Mihelich’s last summer signee was Jin, who has experience playing in tournaments with

many of the top players in the country. Jin was born in China, but attended high school at Mesa Grande Academy in Calimesa, Calif. Because her high school didn’t have a golf team, she succeeded on her own, signing with SIU when she was the 66th-best prospect in the country. She had a scoring average of 77.2 when she played in American Junior Golf Association tournaments, and shot a 69 at a 2012 AJGA event. Jin said the golf courses are not the same in southern Illinois as they are in California. “The grass is kind of different and the weather is so different,” Jin said. Myers, a freshman walk-on, enters SIU as a 10-time varsity letterman in high school. Myers, of Decatur, was the captain and Most Valuable Player of her high school team for four years. She was also a two-time Decatur City Junior Open champion in 2009 and 2010. Myers said of all the schools that she visited, SIU was a step above the rest. “I looked at other schools, but nothing really compared to SIU,” Myers said. Yang, of Chino, Calif., was named a firstteam all-conference performer four times while playing for Diamond Bar High School. Mihelich said Yang’s high school team was the runner-up in last year’s state championship. Please see GOLF | 11
