Game Day Edition 2012

As Homecoming approaches, student and guest safety is a concern for law enforcement.

SIU’s Department of Public Safety prepared for the university’s Homecoming weekend, yet the department treats it as just another day at the office.

“As far as Homecoming (is concerned), we promote safety,” said Russell Thomas, allhazards preparedness resource coordinator for DPS. “We want to make sure that during Homecoming people don’t cross the line as far as what’s safe and what’s not safe, what’s a prank and what’s not a prank.”

Thomas said people may not know when they’re breaking the law, even if it is just for fun.

He said people get in trouble for pranks less often than others think, though.

“We always try to point it out that (people should) use good judgment (and) be responsible,” he said.

Thomas said there used to be more crime during Homecoming, but it has decreased in the past 12 years and become just another day at work for the DPS. “It’s been years since anything has happened,” Thomas said. “Homecoming is a pretty good day, actually.”

He said people should be aware of their surroundings when they use crosswalks during Homecoming weekend. He also said one of the best ways to prevent becoming a victim of crime is to travel with friends instead of alone. “(The police) want people to have fun but to be careful,” Rod Sievers, university spokesman, said.

W

e want to make sure that during Homecoming people don’t cross the line as far as what’s safe and what’s not safe ...

— Russell Thomas DPS resource coordinator Sievers said law enforcement will be at the parade and football game as well as other locations to guarantee everyone’s safety during Homecoming weekend.

Despite DPS’s presence, though, some students differ on how safe they expect SIU to be over the weekend.

Catherine Dempsey, a sophomore from Mahomet studying geology, said even though she thinks the event will not be very safe because of partying students, DPS will keep it under control.

“I always see (DPS) on campus pulling people over and handing out tickets, so I think they are doing a good job keeping us safe,” she said.

Benjamin Pedrigi, a junior from La Grange studying civil engineering, said he thinks the campus will be safe for Homecoming. He said he said he feels safe at SIU and thinks past Homecomings have been safe, too.

Swimming coach Rick Walker said he enjoyed his time at the Summer Olympics and would go back if given the opportunity, but that is not his main goal.

“If my work brings me to that, fine,” he said. “I’m more concentrated on trying to get our kids there.”

Saluki swimmers Csaba Gercsak, Pamela Benitez and Mazen Aziz went to London to compete in their respective competitions this Olympic season. Walker coached Egyptian Aziz in the 10 km. marathon. Both Gercsak and Benitez will return for the Salukis’ 201213 season.

It was the first Olympic experience for Walker, who had a chance to swim in the 1980 games but could not because of the United States boycott.

“In 1980 we held the trials, and I did not make the team, but nobody did,” Walker said. “We boycotted and nobody went.

That was kind of my year. I felt like I had a reasonable shot and I still wanted to go.”

Walker said he relished his first trip to the games — particularly being in the company of athletes around the world who worked relentlessly to get there. He said he also enjoyed seeing how similar all the competitors were, even across cultural barriers and in the presence of world-class athletes.

“I think in the (Olympic) Village everybody was just like everybody else,” he said. “Kobe Bryant could go down to go eat and, while people wanted to talk to him or get a picture, he wasn’t the biggest star there,” he said.

Hungarian Csaba Gercsak swam alongside

SIU teammate Mazen Aziz in the 10 km. marathon and finished six places ahead of him in 18th.

“Mazen is a good friend of mine,” Gercsak said. “It was really special that we both made the Olympics, but in the water we compete against each other, so I don’t treat him differently than anybody else.”

It was Gercsak’s second Olympic appearance, as he also competed in the 10 km. marathon during the 2008 Beijing games.

He also won bronze in last year’s International Swimming Federation World Championships 25 km. marathon in Shanghai. Of all the games’ spectacle and hoopla, Gercsak said it is the competition that he will remember most.

“The race was in my mind all the time. It was my second Olympics, so I kind of knew what to expect,” he said. “Obviously, I had a little more pressure on me, but it mostly came from the feeling that the world was watching.”

Pamela Benitez, from El Salvador, swam in the women’s 800 meter freestyle and finished in 33rd after the first heat at 9 minutes and 2.66 seconds.

Benitez, who does not typically swim in longer distance competition, only swam in one event greater than 500 meters last season.

Against Washington University, she swam the 1,000 meter and finished at 10:13.85.

Coach Walker said he is proud of his Olympians, and he enjoys watching his swimmers progress.

“Every good grade that we get, every good swim that we get, every challege we overcome, I get equal sense of reward and a sense of accomplishment,” he said.

BEN CONRADY | DAILY EGYPTIAN

After a tremendously successful premier campaign, Saluki Athletics decided to bring back the Black Out Cancer game this season.

The Black Out Cancer event is a game where the Salukis wear black jerseys instead of their regular home uniforms, and the jerseys feature names of family members and friends affected by cancer on the back. Last year’s event raised more than $125,000 for cancer research.

In the months before the game, Saluki football fans can make bids on the jerseys, which are given to the highest bidder afterward.

The Black Out Cancer game is the brainchild of Mike McElroy, a former safety and current Marion High School volunteer assistant football coach. McElroy thought of the idea before his 2011 senior season.

“The main goal was to find a way to use athletics to give back to the southern Illinois community that supported us,” he said.

Saluki Athletics announced a partnership with Southern Illinois Healthcare for the 2012 campaign during an Aug. 27 press conference.

People in southern Illinois who are affected by cancer travel far distances

to undergo treatment. All the funds raised from this year’s Black Out game will go toward an ongoing plan for a regional cancer center.

Athletic director Mario Moccia said the event was a way for the athletic department to pay back the community, which helped fund the Saluki Way project through taxes and donations. The project included SIU Arena restorations and the construction of Saluki Stadium.

“This community, through Saluki Way, made a significant investment in Saluki Athletics,” he said. “This is one more way that we can repay that investment that the community has made.”

Rex Budde, CEO of Southern Illinois Healthcare, said during the press conference that eight of the top 10 Illinois counties with the highest cancer death rates are in the region.

“That fact shows why the need for cancer care at home is even more important,” he said. Rarely in our lives do we have such a chance as this to make a significant and meaningful contribution to our community.”

Last year’s Black Out Cancer event happened during the Salukis’ last home game of the season, a 45-28 romp over Eastern Illinois.

The men’s basketball team also wore black jerseys during its home

This year’s game will be at 2 p.m.

Nov. 17 against the Western Illinois Leathernecks at Saluki Stadium.

Of all of Mike McElroy’s accomplishments during his four-

year SIU career, he said the Black Out Cancer game ranks near the top.

“It’s definitely something that I’m proud of, in being able to give back,” he said. “All of your records will eventually be broken, but this is a

legacy that (2011 SIU football team) left behind.”

Copping

An alumnus who fine-tuned his flying ability at SIU has taken his experience to new heights.

Clarence Copping, a 1977 graduate of SIU, is one of three SIU Alumni

Korte

As president of a global company, SIU graduate Dan Korte has traveled to Saudi Arabia, Korea, Russia, London and India within the last six weeks.

However, Korte, president of Rolls-Royce Defense, a $4 billion company, since 2009, said he looks forward to coming back to Carbondale the most.

Korte, 52, graduated with an electrical engineering degree from the university in 1985.

This weekend, he is one of three graduates to be honored by the SIU Alumni Association as a Distinguished Alumnus.

“I’m quite honored to come back,” he said. “Coming back and being able to help students who are just starting out is very valuable to me.”

Korte, who was also awarded the SIU College of Engineering Alumni Achievement Award in 2007, said he was excited to come to Carbondale early to speak with engineering students on campus. He said he planned to tell students that teamwork, never-ending learning and staying humble are the keys to success.

“My degree from SIU not only taught me the principles of engineering and taught me how to work in a team environment,” he said. “I learned the importance of business and finance when trying to resolve technical issues. I think all of those things have led to my success.”

After he grew up in a small farm community in southern Illinois, Korte enrolled at SIU to get a computer-related degree but switched

Association Distinguished Alumnus Award honorees this year. Although the aviation and College of Applied Sciences and Arts graduate is a senior captain at United Airlines, he has also done work for SIU in past years.

Copping, who is originally from Palatine but has lived in St. Charles since 1993, had flying experience before he started at SIU. He said his father was a World War II pilot, and he was always interested in aviation.

“I was one of those guys that somebody takes you up in an airplane and you just kind of go, ‘This is for me,’” he said. “And so I was very lucky.

I knew what I wanted to do early.”

Copping began to fly in high school with the Boy Scout Explorer Post, where

to the College of Engineering.

After he graduated, Korte spent about five years in the semi-conductor industry and has since worked in design engineering, electrical engineering, system engineering, supply chain management and as a program manager.

Before he became the head of Rolls-Royce Defense, Korte was the vice president and general manager for Global Strike Systems, which is a division of the Boeing military aircraft business. He has held various senior-level positions, including V-22 program manager and vice president of supplier management and procurement.

Today, Korte oversees RollsRoyce’s global defense aerospace business, encompassing 5,500 employees in 17 countries across the world. Altogether, Korte — an expert in design and systems engineering — has influenced the aerospace industry for more than 25 years.

Korte said he worked at the Student Center during his time at the university so he could pay for his books and tuition and live off of 20-cent boxes of macaroni and cheese. Now, he’s the head of a $4 billion company.

“I never thought I would be in the position that I am in today back then when I was struggling to get to the next exam,” he said.

Korte met his wife of 25 years, Laurie Landgraf, in the Engineering Building while the two were students at SIU. They now live in St. Louis with their 13-year-old daughter.

The Alumni Association honored Korte and the two other alumni Friday at a public reception and plaque unveiling in the Student Recreation Center’s Alumni Lounge.

The honorees’ framed photos will join the other distinguished alumni on the university’s Distinguished Alumni Wall.

he became friends with someone a year older who was attending SIU. Copping said he visited the friend in Carbondale, where he was introduced to the flight and aviation technology programs.

“I came home to my parents and said ‘I want to go to SIU,’” he said. “I made it real easy for them.”

Copping already had a private pilot’s license when he enrolled at the university because of his high school flying experience.

He said he was very busy in aviation technology and flying courses during his first two years at Southern Illinois Airport through the university. He said his peers and he had a lot of fun, but the curriculum often required a full day of work.

He received his flight instructor’s certificate at the end of his sophomore year and was hired by the university as a part-time flight instructor. He said he instructed during his junior and senior years and even got the opportunity to fly some charter flights.

“It was a really great learning experience, getting paid to learn at that point,” he said.

Copping was hired to work full-time as an assistant chief flight instructor for SIU a few months before he graduated in 1977. He did that for a year and a half before he placed an application with United Airlines.

“I didn’t think I was qualified, but I wasn’t going to not apply for the job,” he said. “Unbeknownst to me,

because I had the rating that I had and the flight time I was able to get at SIU, and ... the mechanics rating, all of that put together, in United’s eyes, I was able to get hired as a pilot.”

Copping said he was 22 years old when he got his job at United Airlines.

He was laid off, though, after three years.

SIU was looking for pilots at the same time. Copping was hired in 1981 as a university charter pilot, which is someone who provides air transportation for administrators and the athletic teams. He was at SIU for another two years until he was recalled by United Airlines. He has been with the airline ever since.

here was a period of time that I feel like agriculture was out of favor and people took it for granted. I am really pleased to see SIU College of Ag is witnessing growth. There are a lot of areas students can go into that would be fulfilling.

Delaney

Since he graduated SIU nearly 30 years ago, David Delaney has tried to give back to the school he said prepared him to be successful in his career.

Delaney, a 1983 graduate of the College of Agriculture Sciences and originally from Eldorado, started a scholarship in his late father’s name for students in the college, has been a guest speaker at the school’s Ag Industry Day and just last week started his orientation to be a member of the SIU Foundation board of directors.

He said the professors he had at the university taught him more than just the agriculture industry.

“Every university not only prepares you for the area of your degree, but you learn how to work as a team and build personal integrity,” he said. “I think that begins and ends with the professors you have. They weren’t just teaching from the textbook. They were preparing you for your future career.”

A day after he graduated, Delaney flew to Omaha, Neb., where he already had a job in his field. From there his career has been a transition of company buyouts that led him to his position as vice president and chief operating officer for PotashCorp, the world’s largest mineral fertilizer company by capacity and leading potash producer with opperations in seven different countries.

— David Delaney Distinguished Alumni Award recipient

Delaney has transferred with four different companies that were bought out, and he continued to work his way up through the organization.

He started out as a sales trainee, and then he was a sales rep. Delaney became product director in 1987, and he became product manager in 1989. In 1991, Delaney became director of industrial sales and in 1993 became the vice president of agriculture sales. He was promoted to vice president of industrial sales in 1997, and he became president of sales in 2000.

Delaney’s last climb up the corporate ladder came in 2010, when he became chief operating officer.

Delaney said he feels fortunate to work for the company as global food security is becoming a looming issue.

With the world population growing quickly, he said it is important to teach people in different positions around the world agronomic practices that will help sustain a growing population.

“It does feel like a greater calling,” he said. “I’m proud to be a part of agriculture and part of a great company that will contribute to the growing food security needs of the future.”

PotashCorp also owns 28 percent of the Arab Potash Corporation in Jordan. Delaney represents his company on the Arab Potash board of directors

and goes there five times a year where he said he enjoys learning the region’s different culture.

Delaney’s love of agriculture started young. His father, George Delaney, taught agriculture in Eldorado and Harrisburg for 15 years. “(He) was a great mentor to me and was a tremendous individual; well respected by anyone who knew him,” he said.

George Delaney died in 1985 from a heart attack. David Delaney, whose older brother and sister also graduated from SIU, decided to start a scholarship in his father’s name in 2007. Every year a $1,000 scholarship is given to three or four students.

Delaney meets the students every year and said he tries to mentor them as his father and professors did for him.

“There was a period of time that I feel like agriculture was out of favor and people took it for granted,” he said. “I am really pleased to see SIU College of Ag is witnessing growth. There are a lot of areas students can go into that would be fulfilling.”

Delaney lives in Lake Forest with his wife Kelley, and daughters Mallory, who is a school teacher, Madison, a senior in high school, and Meredith, who is in seventh grade.

NICHOLAS BURKE| DAILY EGYPTIAN

The women’s volleyball team was 15-3 and 5-2 going into Friday’s game on the road against Bradley. Today they play another conference team, Northern Iowa. The Salukis are undefeated on their home court under the direction of first-year coach Justin Ingram. Senior Alysia Mayes leads the team in kills, and in the team’s last win against Evansville she posted an impressive .842 hitting average. The team is in the top five in every Missouri Valley Conference statistic, including No. 1 in hitting percentage and opponents hitting percentage. A season highlight was the 3-1 Creighton upset for the first time in 10 years.

The swimming and diving team has competed in two events so far this season. SIU hosted the annual Miler and Open Water 5K. There was also a Sept. 29 alumni meet. Csaba Gercsak of Hungary and Pamela Benitez of El Salvador, who both swam in the London Olympics, won the Open Water 5K on Sept. 22, competing against Illinois State and Evansville. Benitez also won the Miler the night before. Till Pallmann won on the men’s side, competing against other Salukis.

Coach Rick Walker leads the team again this year in his 20th season.

The men’s tennis team has mixed results this season through two events. The Salukis have competed in the Dale Short Shootout at Middle Tennessee State University and the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s All-American, a tournament that featured some of the nation’s premier singles players. The Salukis compiled 14 victories in both singles and doubles at the Dale Short Shootout. Senior Badr Cherradi from France and freshman Jonny Rigby from England anchored the club in doubles, going 3-0. Cherradi also starred in the All-American, surpassing all other Salukis and advancing to the round of 64 in the pre-qualifying round. Dann Nelson is in his eighth year as coach.

Women’s tennis has had a stellar season so far. Being a preseason favorite to win the MVC, the team is earning its billing this year. Senior Melanie Delsart won the No. 1 singles championship at the MVC individual Championships. Senior Jennifer Dien and sophomore Natasha Tomishima won a doubles championship from the No. 2 slot at the Individual Championships last weekend.

Early in the season the team traveled to New Orleans and also found success there. Senior Anastacia Simons and Delsart were able to win the flight 1 doubles championship and Abigail Plecki won the flight 3 consolation championship.

Both cross-country teams are excelling this year. The men came into the season ranked No. 1 for the conference, but it’s the women who are exceeding their No. 4 preseason rank. Both teams were able to come away with the finishes at the Saluki Early Bird and the Walt Crawford Open in Charleston. At the Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational in Chicago, the Saluki men finished second only to No. 1 Wisconsin. The women were able to notch a sixth place finish out of the 51 teams participating.

The women’s golf team enters its fourth tournament this season Monday. The team placed seventh of 15 in the first tournament, fifth of 11 in the second and won the SIUE Intercollegiate Sept. 25. Freshman Amy Lee took the individual title at the SIUE intercollegiate by two strokes.

All five athletes who competed placed in the top five. At that tournament, junior Cassie Rushing placed third. She and her sister Ashleigh Rushing tied for 11th place in the year’s first tournament.

The team has three more tournaments in the fall season before it picks back up in March.

The men’s golf team has competed in five tournaments, with one remaining in its fall season.

Senior Brandon Cauldwell highlighted the team thus far, including a win at the Sept. 16 Purdue/ Midwest Shootout. After the win, Cauldwell was named Missouri Valley Conference golfer of the week. The Salukis finished in fourth place in tournaments twice this fall and tied for fifth place Oct. 9 at the Skyhawk Fall Classic. Seniors Jeff Miller and Jake Erickson lead the team, too, which has also seen action in the top five from juniors George Tate and Caleb Harms and freshman Drew Novara. The Salukis’ next match is Oct. 22-23 at the F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate in Hopkinsville, Ky.
