Women applied makeup to their face and eyes to simulate what someone looks like after being abused. Sheila Frampton, a domestic violence legal advocate for the Women’s Center, said the Black Eye Awareness Event took place to raise domestic violence awareness. Frampton said many domestic abuse cases can go overlooked or get handled in an inefficient way, but the issue can be faced head-on with more exposure. There has been more than 500,000 service hours provided to abuse victims within a year in Illinois alone, Frampton said, and this event helped point victims to professionals who want to help. “Education and prevention are key to ending violence,� Frampton said in an email. “The Women’s Center offers public education and prevention programs on many topics related to domestic violence and sexual assault/abuse.� Wendy Weinhold, coordinator for the LGBTQ Resource Center, said the Women’s Center is not the only option for abused partners, and her resource center also spreads knowledge on the subject. “The LGBTQ Safe Zone training does touch on issues of power and oppression, which are at the heart of domestic abuse,� Weinhold said. “I absolutely believe these issues should be discussed more and more openly because we improve our world when we work to end violence.� She said the Black Eye Awareness Event gave students the opportunity to talk about this problem outside the classroom. “Educational opportunities are not limited to classroom interactions, and this event offers the campus community an opportunity to engage in dialogue about an issue that leaves its victims voiceless,� Weinhold said. “This is an opportunity for the campus to join together and voice our concern and care for people who need our support.� Frampton said the Women’s Center offers training to identify whether someone is in an abusive relationship, how to prevent getting into one that could be abusive and what to do in a dangerous situation.

Hanneh Shiheiber, a senior from Skokie studying special education, displays painted-on bruises to support The Black Eye Awareness Event Wednesday while she waits outside of her class in Parkinson Hall. Shiheiber said she was surprised how many women are actually abused every day after looking up statistics. Valerie Naglich, a junior from St. Louis studying nursing, who also wore a black eye for the event, said abuse can exist even without the physical signs. “Just because you can’t always see the bruises on people’s faces, they walk around like this every day,� Naglich said. “We just don’t realize it because their pain is hidden.� She said people should recognize a violent relationship’s cycle. She said it consists of highs and lows where the victim can feel at ease at times despite being physically or emotionally hurt at others. Proper knowledge and understanding can break this cycle, Frampton said, and victims can safely remove themselves from the situation. Frampton said there are also different forms of abuse besides physical. Other forms include financial, mental and sexual, she said, and can be achieved through dominance, isolation, guilt, threats and denial tactics.
A related event called, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, when women will march from Shryock Auditorium to the city pavilion for the same cause. Jacob Rose, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes coordinator, said the event is important to him because it upholds people’s rights and explores an issue that affects many lives. “Domestic Violence is a very important issue because this issue is a violation of the right we all have to live healthy, supportive, and happy relationships,� Rose said. “Domestic Violence doesn’t just affect women, but men,

However, he said members are still eligible to be national fraternity participants. “(The fraternity) was put on
probation, and they were given some sanctions,� Morgan said. “They just didn’t follow them.� The university requires Greek students to maintain a 2.5 semester GPA, he said, and the sorority or fraternity is required to put together a plan to raise members’ grades if the group’s GPA falls below that standard. A hearing is held if the group’s GPA remains low a second semester, Morgan said. The organization is then required to follow a schedule to fix problems. Fraternities and sororities are not required to follow plans unless they have sanctions levied against them, he said, but many choose to follow
plans anyway. “Other chapters we put on academic probation, they did those sanctions,� Morgan said. “They saw their grades go up.� Morgan said new Kappa Alpha Psi members are required to have at least a 2.7 GPA because of the sanctions, but the average GPA of all new members dropped to a 1.97 after members were recruited.

2IÀFLDOV SUHGLFW ODUJH HDUO\ YRWH WXUQRXW LQ ,OOLQRLV $VVRFLDWHG 3UHVV C H I C AG O — The number of votes cast in parts of Illinois before Election Day could top records set four years ago, some officials predicted Monday as residents trickled to the polls for the first day of early voting in the state. Rules have changed since 2008, Which makes it easier for people to vote before Nov. 6. For one, the state no longer requires people to have a reason to vote by mail, and the time period to cast early ballots in person has been extended until the weekend before Election Day. Chicago-area election officials were confident that ballots cast before the presidential election would rival the numbers from four years ago because

“The response rate has been dismal, so the numbers we collect do not hold any meaning,� Garrett said. The problem with the survey is that it cannot be accomplished through one university program or unit. She said a collaborative effort needs to be made, and the Career Task Force should accomplish this obstacle. “We want to educate students that we are not nosy, but we need to collect this information because it is so important we must comply with the new federal mandates as well as have the information for
of the changes and attraction to early voting, where there generally aren’t long lines or substantial wait times. In suburban Cook County on Monday voters cast more than 13,500 ballots, which Clerk David Orr said was a firstday early voting record. In 2008, roughly 260,000 Chicago residents, or about 25 percent of voters, cast early ballots in the city. In suburban Cook County, it was roughly 226,000, or about 21 percent of voters. Statewide nearly 1 million, or about 16 percent of Illinois voters, voted early. “I’m going to go on the record and say that we will at least equal, if not exceed, where we were four years ago,� said Chicago Election Board Chairman Langdon Neal. “That’s a high bar to reach. I think we can reach it again.�
He voted Monday, along with other election officials, at one of the city’s 51 early voting locations. Rupert Borgsmiller, executive director of the Illinois State Board of Elections, said he thought the number of early votes would at least match four years ago. The state has hundreds of early voting locations. Early voting will go until Nov. 3, but it’s not as long a time period as 2008. Election officials say that’s because turnout in the initial days of early voting was lower than other days. Illinois residents can also vote absentee by mail or in person through Nov. 5. However, the number of overall registered voters is down from four years ago when enthusiasm for President Barack Obama, particularly
among young and minority voters, was credited for a rise in voter registrations nationwide. The Illinois State Board of Elections has said that about 7.4 million people are registered to vote statewide, down roughly 5 percent from 2008, when it was approximately 7.8 million. While Obama is certain to win his home state of Illinois, Neal and Cook County Clerk David Orr said it would be difficult to match the enthusiasm of the 2008 historic election. They said voter registrations are down because the city of Chicago has lost residents since then and election officials in Chicago and its suburbs have purged voter rolls to remove people who have died or moved. Voters who showed up Monday said voting early was a quick option.
“It was great,� said Troy McEntire, 46. “Done in five minutes.� It was his first time voting early and he said he wanted to avoid waiting in line on Election Day. McEntire voted for Obama and left races he wasn’t sure about blank. Beverly Venit, a retired vacation consultant, also voted for Obama and cited a lower unemployment rate as one of the reasons. She said she was going to be out of town on Election Day and didn’t want to miss the chance to cast her ballot. “I don’t want to not vote,� she said. Election officials said no results will be tabulated until Nov. 6, and the number of registrations could still go up a bit. Although the last day to register to vote was Oct. 9, there’s a “grace period� until Nov. 3.
recruitment and current students in their field,� Garrett said. Bonnie Ebelhar, the Career Task Force representative from Institutional Research and Studies, said the group is still in its infancy. The last SIU graduate survey was published in 2011 and reported information on the 2009 graduating class, Ebelhar said. The data includes information on those with undergraduate and graduate degrees, and she said the survey was not comprehensive because it had a 31-percent response rate. According to the 2011 survey, 67.64 percent of graduates worked full-time, 14.66 percent worked part-time, 11.5 percent were
unemployed and seeking work, and 6.19 were unemployed and not seeking work. The survey also showed 26.94 percent held their first professional job as students, 16.94 percent had a job upon graduation, 6.7 percent had a job less than one month after graduation and 13.39 percent had a job within three months. Between three and six months, 11.42 percent had a job, 8.52 percent had jobs between six and nine months and 15.83 percent had a job after nine months. Garrett said it is most important for students to start the job search as early as possible. “Employers recruit in the fall, so
if a senior who is graduating in the spring starts looking for jobs in the spring, it’s a problem.� Garrett said. Garrett also emphasized the importance of internships. “About 58 percent of internships turn into full-time jobs,� Garrett said. Clare Mitchell, assistant dean for Mass Communication and Media Arts, said internships are very valuable for students. “Introducing freshmen to internship possibilities is very important because it can make a resume seem that much better,� Mitchell said. Garrett said Career Services sets up career fairs frequently, and the University College 101 course also
emphasizes students’ career skills. “SIU’s career services is not unique in its goal, but tries to adapt to its students’ demographic as well as employers’ needs,� Garrett said. She said a few employers have said SIU students have lacked preparation as well as appropriate workplace mannerisms in the past. “In the last career fair we had, we did not allow students in unless they were dressed professionally, and we received better feedback overall from the employers,� Garrett said.

The Woodbox Gang, Carbondale’s self-labeled “Trashcan Americana� band, will play a concert at 8 p.m. Saturday at Shryock Auditorium. This will be the band’s first live show since 2009, and it has been a long work in progress, banjo and guitar player Dan Goett said. Singer/songwriter and guitarist Hugh DeNeal was imprisoned Oct. 27, 2009, after a mail fraud conviction, and Goett said his absence put the band on hold until his release last year. Every band member has been in numerous other acts throughout the years and continued to play locally, Goett said, even after the band went on a break. Alex Kirt, Woodbox’s assorted instrumentalist, said he joined bands
such as the Giant City Slickers, the Mudsills and the Django Billies around town during the band’s hiatus. Although he traveled less, Kirt said he was able to grow as a musician in his time with other bands. “I never took a break personally,� he said. “I just stayed closer to home and I’ve learned a great deal from the great musicians I’ve been lucky enough to play with.� Goett said much like Kirt, he joined the Giant City Slickers, Rural Kings, Soul Glo, Django Billies, Mudsills and Boondock Billies when Woodbox wasn’t together. Curtis Conley, Woodbox’s event promoter, said DeNeal wrote lyrics when he was in prison and sent the lyrics to Kirt so he could write music along with it. DeNeal was placed on house arrest after his prison release, which is when Goett said the band took the time to get back together, practice and work on its new album. He said the band
didn’t feel comfortable playing a show as soon as DeNeal was taken off of house arrest because the group needed to feel confident in itself and have new material to present to its fans. “This comeback can really be a big deal for a lot of people,� Goett said. “We took our time and really put a lot of thought into making everything happen as opposed to playing a gig right after Hugh got off of home confinement.� Goett said the Shryock show will be for all the fans who eagerly awaited the band’s revival. “I can’t tell you how many conversations I had with people where they’d say, ‘Hey, how are you?’ and the next question was always, ‘When’s the band getting back together?’� Goett said. “Glorious Scars,� the band’s newest album to release Saturday, is the most diverse recording the band has done, he said, and each song is different. “Because the band has gone through different phases and ... different band
members, and (because) Hugh’s writing style changes throughout the years, they all sound a little bit different,� Goett said. “There’s one song that I think sounds like a Black Sabbath track, and the next track has got a banjo and a mandolin on it.� Kirt said Woodbox was fortunate to get a skilled drummer for the album because he blends well with its sound. “We were lucky enough to hire Jim Beers to play drums on nearly every song,� Kirt said. “He is a very talented percussionist, and his style works quite well with our sound. I think he stole the show on these recordings.� Conley said even though the band members have all played multiple shows with numerous bands, they seem anxious to play at a venue as large as Shryock. “They have some positive anxiety, as Hugh puts it,� Conley said. “For them to be nervous is a rarity, but they’ve been waiting for this for so long.� Kirt said he expects to see many
familiar faces Saturday, and he welcomes the opportunity to play for people who have followed them from the beginning. “It’ll be great to see everyone under one roof again,� he said. “The so-called local fans are mostly our friends and family, so we have a very different relationship with the home audience as compared to an audience in a distant location where we are mostly anonymous.� Goett said the show will be an experience fans will keep with them forever after all the work and time spent getting back together. “From the bizarre story of our band to the bizarre music that we play, to have the whole prison thing happen and to come back and have the event at a really beautiful theater like Shryock ... it’s just got so much significance,� Goett said. “I think that anybody who goes won’t forget this concert.� Austin Flynn can be reached at aflynn@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 257.

Cheesewright, a doctoral student in speech communication from Durango, Colo., said “Halos� explores the point where race and sexuality intersect. Cheesewright compiled author James Baldwin’s work, he said, and the show does not follow a traditional plot-driven narrative. “It’s more an episodic kind of narrative,� He said. “Moments are made clear and then implicate and resonate with other moments as the show goes on.� Nicholson, a doctoral student in speech communication from Ottawa, said the show deals with what it meant to be an LGBT youth during Baldwin’s time. One show sequence concerns the George Washington Bridge, where college student Tyler Clementi committed suicide. Clementi was a queer youth whose roommate videotaped him kissing his boyfriend. Nicholson said the show is a powerful argument for why people should be aware of American
violence. Baldwin shares stories about what it means to be queer in America, Nicholson said. “There’s a moment in the show in which (Baldwin) tells a story about a man with whom he may have been in love,� Nicholson said. “The story is extraordinarily touching, and I think it speaks to the tragedy of the suicides of LGBT youth in this country.� Nicholson said the show’s title references poet Buddy Wakefield, who described “folks with halos shaped like roller coasters you would stand in line to ride twice.� The roller coaster represents the constant cause and effect of our culture’s violence, she said. Wakefield addresses both people who commit violence and the people who choose to fight violence, Nicholson said. Cheesewright said he hopes audiences will consider politics and social justice during the show. “(Audiences) should bring their life experiences and be willing to listen to some different life experiences,� Cheesewright said. Audience members are advised that “Rollercoaster Halos� contains mature themes. Dorsey, a doctoral student in performance studies from Carbondale, said she loves storytelling, and “I Put a Spell on You� gives her a chance to tell her own story. Dorsey mixes life stories with American history stories, particularly lynching. Dorsey intersperses poetry
throughout the show, she said, and she links these stories with presentday events such as the Trayvon Martin case. Martin, a black teenager, was allegedly shot and killed in February by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in Florida. According to the Kleinau’s website, the show’s title references Nina Simone, a songwriter who recorded the album “The High Priestess of Soul.� Simone covered “I Put a Spell on You,� a song originally performed by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Dorsey said she hoped the audience would be open to listen, watch and hear the show’s intense message. Fan, a doctoral student in performance studies from Taiwan, said he thinks Dorsey’s performance is strong. “I feel the courage and sincerity that the performer will bring the audience to go through the journey of her reconciliation and forgiveness,� Fan said.

Cutler said Wednesday at Halas Hall. “I think by Sunday it’ll all be cleared up. I’ll be fine.â€? Cutler suffered the injury Monday night on a sack by Detroit’s Ndamukong Suh. Cutler said he regularly wears a flak jacket and plans to wear one again against Carolina. “I was lucky, I think,â€? Cutler said of the hit. “It was awkward. I sort of got

Freshman guard Anthony Beane Jr. said he looks forward to the upcoming season and working with the coaching staff. His father, Anthony Beane Sr., is an assistant coach on the staff. “My dad was familiar with some of the coaches, especially Barry,� Anthony Beane said. “He spoke very highly of them, and I see why. I’m already learning a lot, and upperclassmen like T.J. (Lindsay) motivate me. This year we should be a more athletic team, and if we contain and protect the ball, we should win a few games,� Beane said. Senior guard Jeff Early said he will do whatever it takes for his team to win this year. “We have to be exciting this year
bent over his knee a little bit. You want to try to stay away from those as much as possible.� Suh has a reputation for dirty hits, but Cutler insisted there was nothing illegal about the sack even if it looked ugly. “It was like a wrestling move a little bit,� Cutler said. “(Suh) plays hard. It’s out of the pocket. He’s playing football. I don’t have a problem with that. I really don’t. I don’t think it was dirty. He plays an aggressive style of football. That’s just who he is.� Teammate Brandon Marshall expressed a different opinion immediately after the game by criticizing Suh on Twitter. He hadn’t
changed his mind about the hit on Cutler by Wednesday. “I’m not going to back off on that,� he said. “I already said what I have to say, but I think Jay is in a position with you (media) guys that anything he says may be taken the wrong way. So I think it’s important for his teammates to maybe speak for him at times. I’m around Jay every single day on and off the field, so I know how he feels. And for me, I just think it wasn’t a good football play.� Offensive coordinator Mike Tice doubts he’ll limit the game plan because of Cutler’s injury. “I was a little cautious, obviously, once he got hurt and didn’t want to
expose him and really throw the ball down the field except for when we were getting pressed,� he said. “But no, he’s ready to go.� Cutler has been sacked 19 times this season, fifth-most in the league. Tice thought the bye week and 15 days between games may have taken a toll on his offense’s timing in blocking and in the passing game against Detroit. The Bears hadn’t allowed more than two sacks in three straight games before Detroit had five. “Just not as crisp,� he said. “We felt a little off. Guys hadn’t been hitting in awhile, although we went in pads in practice a number of times.�
Cutler has scrambled for 56 yards the past two games. He said he won’t necessarily adjust his style of play because of the injury. Playing through hits and knowing how to avoid them is part of the game, he said. “It’s just natural. You kind of learn how to take hits as a quarterback throughout the years,� Cutler said. “I took some shots, and playing here I’ve taken some shots. “You learn how to do it, but in the same sense you’ve got to play your game. You’ve got to play your style of football and running around. Trying to make plays is kind of part of my game. So it’s risk, reward.�
so that we can bring fans back to the arena. When you think about the teams in the MVC, they all have recognizable players. I want to be that guy for the Salukis,� Early said. “I’ve got to step my game up, be a leader on and off the court and stay healthy. I’m in a position on the team where everyone looks up to me, and that’s OK with me.� Early said he realizes how important everyone’s health is to the team right now, so he has been working out less to decrease the risk of injury. “I had to cut down on the weights,� he said. “I think all of our bodies have been taking a toll, especially since we started practicing. Coaches have been stressing the need to take care of your body the right way. They even showed us a film on recovery tips.� With so many injured front-court
players, Early said he expects to play the power forward position primarily. “I’ll probably be playing a lot of the four hybrid, (which means) I’ll defend and be guarded as a power (forward), but I’ll still be able to play a one or two (guard) on offense,� he said. “Yeah, I’ll be going up against guys bigger than me, but I’ll have a huge speed advantage.� The team finished second to last in both offensive and defensive fieldgoal percentage last season, which allowed other teams to shoot 47 percent from the field while shooting only 41 percent collectively. Sophomore forward Antonio Bryer said he must take a more demanding role on the team this year. “As one of the few healthy big men left on the team, I have to be more assertive and put myself in more plays. If I help set the tone on offense
and defense, I believe the team will be a lot better,� Bryer said. Hinson said he will alter the offensive scheme to improve the low shooting percentages from last year, and his defense should be familiar to his players. “The offensive system we want to play is the one where we put the ball in the hole, and that seems to have been a problem here over the past few years. We’re going to play just like we did at Kansas and just like we did at Missouri State. You’ve got to give freedom to shooters, give freedom to your guys. Defense, we’re going to play the exact same way we played at Missouri State, and we’re going to get after people. I don’t think that defense is something that is lacking in our guys,� he said. As a coach who has seen success in college basketball, Hinson said he
has never seen so much adversity. “This is my 32nd year to coach, and we’ve had more issues happen since I’ve been here. The Thursday after the National Championship game, we’ve had more issues in that time period than I’ve had collectively over 31 years,� he said. “With that being said, it’s OK because what it does is it energizes you every day. My assistant coaches have a saying: ‘You’ve got (to) put on your boxing gloves and come to fight every day with this group because we’ve got a battle every day.’� The Saluki basketball team will compete in its first exhibition game Saturday against Lincoln University in Carbondale.

6DOXNLV OLPS LQWR VHDVRQŇ‹V VWDUW '(0$5,2 3+,336 60,7+ 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ The 2012 Saluki basketball season hasn’t started yet, but first-year coach Barry Hinson has already been forced to make significant changes to his team. The basketball team has been marred with injuries since the end of last season. Hinson said at a press conference Tuesday that sophomore guard Josh Swan, who started nine games last year, will miss up to three weeks. Sophomore forward Dantiel Daniels will be out for at least five weeks and freshman forward Chase Heins won’t be available for another 12 weeks following a knee surgery. Hinson did not elaborate on the specific injuries of each player. The Salukis held their first walkon tryouts Sept. 5. However, Hinson said more tryouts may be necessary if more injuries occur. “We have actually opened up the walk-on tryouts, I think, once again,â€? he said. “We laugh about that, but guys, that’s the truth. We are actively right now still searching for somebody we can have hopefully to help us on the practice floor, hopefully to help us possibly in a game. We can’t absorb much more.â€? Hinson said freshman forward Bola Olaniyan will redshirt as a partial academic qualifyer because of NCAA rules that a student athlete is required to meet it’s minimum grade point average and SAT/ACT score. Heins will also redshirt because of the team’s injuries. Junior guard Diamond Taylor is still suspended indefinitely for his Sept. 22 driving under the influence citation, and Hinson said he would not reinstate him solely because the team needs another body out on the court. Taylor is not listed on the 2012 roster. Hinson said he is trying to repair and improve the team’s image. “I’m really upset at Diamond,â€? he said. “I’m really upset because you know the easiest thing for me to do right now is to bring him out of suspension based on all the things that have happened.

First-year men’s basketball head coach Barry Hinson speaks to press members Tuesday during Media Day in the Cook Club at SIU Arena. Hinson gave a brief opening speech before answering questions about the upcoming season. He covered many topics, including team injuries and the disciplinary actions taken against junior guard Diamond Taylor for his DUI charges during the offseason. Hinson acknowledged that these issues created a lot of adversity for this year’s team. “I knew for the most part what I was getting into,� he said. “I accept the challenges, and we’ll find a way.� CHRIS ZOELLER DAILY EGYPTIAN
