$GYLVHUV HQIRUFH SROLF\ RI QR WHVWLQJ EHIRUH Ă€ QDOV ZHHN TARA KULASH Daily Egyptian Teachers and students shouldn’t expect to skip town early during finals week anymore. An often-forgotten university policy states no finals should be given before finals week. Although the policy is not new, it hasn’t been followed in the past, including the fall semester, very strictly. Jim Allen, associate provost for academic programs and a professor of history, said he doesn’t think faculty members are purposely ignoring it — they just need to be reminded. “Either they don’t know about it, if we have a fair amount of turnover among faculty ‌ or there’s just the habit of paying no heat to it and thinking it would be acceptable to hold finals the week before finals week when it’s not,â€? he said.
The policy dates back to before April 1981, when the Faculty Senate approved a resolution to remind teachers of the policy. Allen said since 1981, several provosts have attempted to remind faculty of the policy with a memo. Provost John Nicklow is the most recent to do so. Nicklow said he wants to emphasize the policy to lower students’ stress levels. “The literature demonstrates that providing a cumulative final during a set-aside period like finals week strongly correlates to better student learning outcomes,� he said in an email. Nicklow's memo states finals during the last week of classes are likely to interfere with students’ other obligations, such as attending classes and completing papers and projects that are due the week before finals week.

The garage was demolished so construction of the new Student Services building could begin hopefully in March, said Leo Driscoll, an estimator at construction management services. Three parking lots have been made available to students and staff with red and blue parking decals to replace the demolished parking garage. Parking lots 10A and 10B, located south of Anthony Hall, were expanded and reconfigured to provide 81 parking spots. Lot 13B, located east of the Student Center, was built to provide 236 additional spaces. Even with three new lots, there are 27 fewer spaces than were available previously. Driscoll said he thinks the additional parking lots will be enough parking for students and staff, and the work on removing the parking garage is going well. “We’re finishing up the bottom floor and the east wall, and the columns need to be taken out,� he said.

The welcome center will have an open reception area and will have the latest technology to meet the '24/7' service expectations of our students.� Rod Sievers, university spokesman, said the new building is important because it will serve as a one-stop shop service for students. “The building will consolidate a lot of the offices that students use on a regular basis,� he said. “Students will have more convenient access to these services, and the offices will have more convenient access to each other.�

Allen said the purpose policy’s is to give students more time to study for their finals. He said he had to wait ten minutes past his class’s scheduled time last semester because the previous class was trying to finish up final exams the last day of class. “I had to walk in there and kick students out while they were finishing final exams in their class because they were doing their damndest to get done and do their best on exams,� he said. “And here comes another class right on their heels.� The class should have taken its exam during finals week so students could have been given the full two hours to do their best, Allen said. “It’s an important matter. When I see students freaking out and they’re really stressed, it bothers me as an instructor,� he said. “I care about my students.� Patrick Dowd, an undecided freshman from Bartlett, said he thinks the policy should be followed. He had friends that were stressed out from finals given early, Dowd said, and it would be fairer to have them all during finals week. Sierra Dolwick, a sophomore from Woodlawn, Tenn., studying theater and English education, said she had finals early but didn’t find it stressful. “I felt like it actually made finals week a bit easier because I didn’t have to worry about having all my finals in one week,� Dolwick said. Some students may benefit
from the policy, she said, but teachers should know their students well enough to be able to tell if they should take the exam a week early. One concern raised by Holly Hurlburt, an associate professor of history, was whether every class has to have a final. She said while she understands why the policy would be implemented, the memo seemed a bit general about the matter. Another concern was what would be the best way to assess students at the end of the semester. She said she thinks introductory level courses should have final exams, while upper level courses should lean more toward papers and projects. Allen said he agrees. Not every class must have a final exam, he said, and courses such as studio art, musical and theatrical performances and independent studies may find it more appropriate to assign a paper, project or performance, which would be reserved for finals week as well. The policy states teachers must turn in a hard copy of their syllabus to their director at the beginning of the semester. If a teacher thinks it appropriate to make changes to a final exam schedule, or even have no exam at all, the department’s chair or director must approve it. If the change is found unacceptable, the chair must report it to the dean who will then report it to the provost. Pam Walker, a lecturer in foreign languages and literatures, said she thinks the chain of command method is micromanaging. “I feel like people that are
teaching here have, at the least, a master’s,� she said. “Most of them have a doctorate, so why in the world would you have to control that much how they handle their class?� Walker said she thinks it’s a waste of energy and funds on the university's part. “My dean has much more important things to do than check what I’m teaching,� she said. Hurlburt said she thinks the idea a department chair has to decide whether a teacher is doing his or her job is stressful for the teacher. However, the syllabus is also part of university policy, Allen said. It is in the interest of students so they can keep up with assignments, tests, grading and more. “Are we infringing on the academic freedom of an instructor by telling them they have to have a syllabus? I should think not,� Allen said. “It’s so foundational, so fundamental to the working relationship between instructor and student.� He said finals should be the same way. They should be included in the syllabus as are all other assignments, Allen said. Hurlburt said she knew about the finals policy previously and always took it seriously. Walker said while she follows the policy, she doesn’t necessarily agree with it. “I think that’s a ridiculous assumption that one week makes that much difference,� she said. 7DUD .XODVK FDQ EH UHDFKHG DW WNXODVK#GDLO\HJ\SWLDQ FRP RU H[W

Jon Dye, a sophomore from Redmon studying forestry, grabs a drink Tuesday during a fishing expedition, which was cut short because of stormy weather on Crab Orchard Lake. Dye, a fisherman for the Saluki Bass team, said he has never caught any Asian carp in Crab Orchard Lake but has in lakes near Shelbyville and Mattoon. After recent flooding, Asian carp have shown a presence in local waterways such as Rend and Crab Orchard lakes, said James Garvey, professor of fish ecology and director of the SIUC Fisheries and Aquaculture Center. Research is underway to control the carp, which are an invasive species with a tendency to jump out of the water when startled. Garvey said this could lead to safety issues for recreational users on lakes. “The worry is there’s a lot of adult (carp) in there, jumping up and hitting people in the face,” he said. )LVKHULHV QHHG WR EH DEOH WR XVH QDWLYH À VK DQG EH Á H[LEOH HQRXJK WR GHDO ZLWK RWKHU VRXUFHV WR JHW WKH À VK *DUYH\ VDLG 1R VROXWLRQ ZLOO EH WKH VROH DQVZHU WR WKLV LQYDVLRQ KH VDLG EXW KDUYHVWLQJ PD\ DW OHDVW UHGXFH WKH SURSHQVLW\ RI WKH À VK WR PRYH XS WRZDUGV WKH *UHDW /DNHV HFRV\VWHP

Milica Obretkovich, a senior from Libertyville studying interpersonal communication and premedicine, examines a dissected part of a plant Tuesday in her plant anatomy class in Life Science II. Following lecture the first day, students in plant anatomy go straight into labs. “This is one of the first classes I’ve had where right away you get into things,â€? Obretkovich said. Renee LopezSmith, teaching assistant of the class and a Ph.D. candidate for plant biology, said it is important to introduce students to plant dissection early to allow them to get a feel for it. “It’s all about getting past the initial fear of cutting into things and getting their heads wrapped around plants,â€? she said.

I’ve been at the DAILY EGYPTIAN for eight semesters now — long enough to have witnessed more than a handful of changes. During the shifting of leadership and design, I covered news, features and sports as both a reporter and, more recently, a photographer. The joint experience has taught me more than discipline could alone. Now that I’m facing graduation in May, I don’t think there’s anything that could have given me as much experience or taught me as much about myself and the news industry than working four years at this paper. This semester, I felt like I had no option but to give back. It’s my hope to teach newer reporters and photographers what I’ve had the chance to learn, and as Editorin-Chief I want to help the paper continue to be successful in a changing industry. It is you, dear readers, who are the most important part of this process. Everything we do here is with the purpose of informing and entertaining you. I hope we meet and exceed your expectations. Whether we do or, as will sometimes happen, don’t, please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, opinions and letters to the editor with me at editor@dailyegyptian.com.
After a year as a campus reporter and quite a hectic semester as the campus editor, I decided to take a shot at managing editor. Last semester I covered everything from deer hunting season, a 2,000 student disturbance outside Brush Towers, the state budget crisis’ effect on the university and the university’s first-ever faculty strike. I learned so much from last semester about journalism and I now have a better idea of what I want to do in this field. I also learned it takes about six cups of coffee to keep me awake each day while covering a strike. I am from Arcola, a small town where breaking news is hard to come by and common stories in the papers document the lives of everyday people. My goal for the DE is for the reporters and photographers to tell local individuals’ stories and tell stories that relate to students, since they are the majority of our readership.
I’m a junior from Edwardsville with a double major in journalism and creative writing. I joined the DE only last summer, but my passion for writing and editing were so evident, I was quickly promoted to city editor. I followed the City Council meetings as well as the vote to allow liquor sales in grocery stores before being moved to the campus desk to report on the faculty strike. It was at this time I realized a university can be just as newsworthy, full of politics and fun to write about as a city. As campus editor this semester, I hope to answer questions about the campus community, such as who will replace David Carlson as the dean of Morris Library? And how does the chancellor plan to face this year’s budget issues? We’re all a part of this university, and we deserve to be in the know.
It wasn’t an error-free resume that earned me a position here back in 2010. Looking back on it all, I just happened to be in the same room on the same floor of the same hotel celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Chicago – a city of nearly 3 million – when I met my future boss. We exchanged numbers and that was that. I’m not saying I wasn’t qualified for the job. I just don’t think I’d be here if I hadn’t called her the very next day to find out when I should start working. And that’s how we, as journalists, have to approach this job: with the belief that it’s not only timing and luck that make great stories. You have to actively seek out whatever it is you want. And you have to be determined and passionate to work in this field because it’s definitely not about the paycheck. I’ve worked everything from campus editor to design chief to photojournalist. Now, as the voices editor in my seventh semester, I hope to bring readers a unique perspective on local and national issues.

If someone would've told me a year ago that I would eventually become the sports editor, I would've thought they were joking. But after two semesters as editor-in-chief, my interest in athletics grew and my opinions changed. Let's just say, as a Carbondale native and eager journalist, I'm excited to bring back an excellent sports section. This semester, our desk will work toward providing students with more insight into our university's athletes while continuing to cover their performance. For anyone who has ideas of what they may like to see in the sports section, don't hesitate to shoot me an email!
When I came to the DE a year ago as a copy editor, I had no plans of becoming a reporter. A few months and a lot of proofreading marks later, I found myself in the office of a Campus Habitat building, notebook in one hand and the building manager threatening to call the cops on me over a cell phone in the other. This isn't to make it sound like I've been channeling Bob Woodward for the last two semesters (I definitely haven't), but it's the occasional scene like that which makes all the poring over City Council agendas and seemingly endless phone calls to "media relations officers" worth it. For my last semester here I'll be editing the Pulse section of the paper. I hope to shine a bright light on the community's arts and entertainment community in the pages of the paper and develop a distinct critical voice for online.
This is my fourth semester at the DAILY EGYPTIAN and my first time working on the design desk. As a transfer student, Carbondale was a very different place for me. The DE allowed me to instantly become a part of the community. During my last three semesters as a reporter, I’ve seen a lot of papers, a lot of designs and it’s given me the chance to think about various layout ideas. Our staff has spent a lot of time on the paper’s redesign and we’re happy with the finished product. The DE should always reflect its readers and we hope to have captured a more modern spirit with our new design.
You guessed it. My job is to edit photos, which means looking through the photographers images and hopefully picking the strongest one that best relates to the story or can stand alone as a feature. I hope it’s one the photographer agrees on, because there’s nothing more terrifying than an angry, offended photog. As for me, I’m still new at this game and have a lot to learn. But a wise man once told me every photojournalist must spend time in the trenches as an editor to give back to the craft. I suppose this is my time. I’m from Barnhart, Mo., did some things, speak Spanish at a second-grade level and I like trees. That’s pretty neat.
My time here at SIU has been drastically different than what I came in believing it would be. I started as a zoology major, but after a few days in Phil Greer’s basic photojournalism class it all changed. I was thoroughly convinced photojournalism was the lifestyle for me and, shortly after, was hired on as a staff photographer at the DAILY EGYPTIAN. Starting a new semester here as assistant photo editor is intense in every way possible. The people I work with have truly become my family. I wouldn’t trade the stresses of this job for anything in the world.

David Hug, a senior from Carbondale studying forest recreation, practices bouldering Saturday at Devil’s Stand Table trail in Giant City. Hug worked on three boulder problems, or routes, at the Stand Table location, and after failing to complete the first of them, said, “I’m going to come out every week until I get that bad boy.”

Average grade in writing-intensive course, by ACT Writing score

Jumbles: SPOIL AWAKE TANNED CLOUDY Answer: After tasting his perfectly cooked, medium-rare steak, the customer said this — WELL DONE
Aries — Today is a 9 — Productivity is yours, but your wanderlust may be acting up. Some dream from the past could come calling, and what was stuck before now flows easily.
Cancer — Today is an 8 — Dig into a big job, and get lost in creative effort. Put together the budget, and your skills with penny-pinching are appreciated. Innovation saves time.
Libra — Today is an 8 — All of a sudden, things start making sense. There’s plenty of work, and more coming. Extra effort makes a difference. A surprise boosts self-esteem.
Capricorn — Today is an 8 — Don’t sweat the small stuff; there are plenty of big dreams to focus on. Keep your eye on the ball; be the ball; do whatever it takes to get past limitations.
Taurus — Today is an 8 — A congratulatory note arrives. Add it to the positive testimonials on your website. Go over the financials, too. Paint a persuasive picture of your goals.
Leo — Today is a 7 — Are there any jobs that need to be done first? Mop up messes before you play. A loved one encourages you to take on a challenge that inspires. It could cost extra.
Scorpio — Today is a 9 — There’s more money to be made, if you’re willing to work. Stick to the budget, and it’ll be easier to make household changes soon. A loved one has a brilliant idea.
Aquarius — Today is an 8 — Others are paying attention to your moves. Don’t be afraid to serve as an inspiration. There’s much to learn, but also much to teach. Build on solid ground.
Gemini — Today is a 7 — Lively discussions ensue. Seemingly closed doors now open. Hold off on travel just now. A caring soul is there to help with a big decision.
Virgo — Today is an 8 — Get into a homebody phase for the next few days. Start a project, clean closets or just laze around. Follow another’s suggestion for a pleasant surprise.
Sagittarius — Today is a 7 — Enjoy the next two days in the limelight. Use your extra selfconfidence to accomplish things that stopped you before. The outcome’s fantastic.
Pisces — Today is an 8 — Service to others brings your personal growth to the next level. Avoid distractions that keep you from completing your tasks. It’s satisfying. Embrace change.
