NICOLE HESTER | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Brenda Suromi, a graduate student in art from Venezuela, works on her thesis project at the Glove Factory in Carbondale. Suromi works with different types of fabric and acrylic paints, and she said the main idea of her work is memories. “Now I realize my first meeting with art was with fabric,” she said. Both Suromi’s mother and grandmother were seamstresses. “My grandma made a living making clothing, and I want to make a living making art,” she said. Suromi described her work to be a bit feminist. “(It’s) more about celebrating that I am a woman and celebrating the beauty, design and work itself,” she said. “I want to make something that reminds me how to survive,” Suromi said.

think it’s a great idea to have students involved. Maybe not every student is up for the job, but I think it’s important that we have a voice and are able to talk about the things that concern us. What happens in Carbondale definitely has an effect on us — in our student lives and also in our daily lives because we all have a life outside school.

— Carolina Bonilla senior studying radiotelevision from Thompsonville

feel like the types of responsibilities you’re going to have as a City Council member wouldn’t fit well with a full-time class schedule. It all boils down to maturity, and a full-time student with a job and loans to pay back isn’t going to have time to run for City Council. Therefore, you’re only going to get the voice of an over-privileged or immature student whom I don’t think could properly represent the student body.

— Von’dragas Smalley senior studying business and English from Chicago

epresentation of anyone in academia at SIU is important because it’s such a big part of the town. Though one difficulty I see with that comes from most SIU students not being from Carbondale. Maybe they wouldn’t feel as strongly about issues around town as the people who live here year-round, but I think a full-time student on the council would represent an interesting perspective. — Derek Letellier senior studying journalism from Buffalo Grove

arking concerns me, both on campus and around town. I’m never worried about getting towed on campus, but around town it seems like they’re out to get you. If there was a student like me on the City Council I might be able to get proper representation, but I just don’t see that happening. I hardly have time for my major, let alone a position on the City Council.

Aries — Today is a 7 — An insider tip leads to a great bargain. It’s not a good time to gamble or travel. Something unusual is going on behind the scenes. Review your plans one more time, and then soar.

Cancer — Today is a 5 — You may be temporarily overwhelmed. There’s nothing wrong with being mellow for a couple of days. More profits are headed your way, if you’re willing to wait.

Libra — Today is a 7 — What are you waiting for? Now is the time to step out of your comfort zone and go for what you truly believe in. Set long-range goals over the next two days.

Capricorn — Today is a 6 — See what you can do for others, but don’t overextend to the point that you forget to take care of yourself. Talk philosophy around the dinner table. Relax.

Taurus — Today is a 6 — Work challenges abound, and overcoming them leads to advancement and extra income. Consult experts. Take care of your health, too. Eat nutritional foods, take a walk and rest.

Leo — Today is a 7 — Obligations could interfere with fun. Get the important things done quickly so that you can play with friends. Or have your friends help with chores while you have a good time together.

Scorpio — Today is a 5 — Be gracious to a jerk. Your theory is challenged. Hold on to what you’ve acquired, or it could slip away. A light touch works better. Query a person of many talents.

Aquarius — Today is an 8 — More group effort is needed, or at least more creative thinking. Call for a brainstorming session. Provide value. Don’t expand too rapidly, especially without considering the costs.

Gemini — Today is an 8 — When you’re hot, you’re hot. Enjoy your time in the spotlight, but don’t burn any bridges. Avoid gossip about your job. Advance to the next level.

Virgo — Today is a 7 — Hold the position you’ve taken, but use your imagination and creativity to improve it and make it more fun and exciting. Your partner is enthralled. Be a perfectionist (or delegate to one).

Sagittarius — Today is a 7 — You’re entering a two-day partnership phase. Behind the scenes work pays off. Fix something at home that’s broken. Don’t ask for favors now. Someone makes another brilliant discovery.

Pisces — Today is an 8 — Defend your position; they’ll understand. It’s a good time for a gettogether. Organize a group hike and get the exercise you need. Don’t take a financial risk. Provide information.
