The dream lives on

Organist, professor honored by community SARAH SCHNEIDER Daily Egyptian There was no sheet music on the stand. His hands and feet played Bach, Shuman and Mozart, among others, from memory. Paul Jacobs’ organ repertoire was the reason Marianne Webb made a point in her will he would be the one to play her memorial recital. Webb died Dec. 7 after a 20year battle with breast cancer. She was a music professor and distinguished university organist at SIU for more than 40 years. Jacobs, a Grammy Award-winner and chair of the Julliard School organ department, said a few years ago Webb asked if he would play a concert after her death as a gift to the southern Illinois community and those who supported her during her career. Webb’s twin sister, Peggy Westlund, and her husband John said the recital was one of the meticulous plans Marianne made in preparation of her passing. Please see ORGANIST | 3

Members of the Boys and Girls Club in Carbondale work on their dream projects Monday during the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. The dream project let the members of the club get creative with what they want to do or what they hope will happen in the future. Some members dreamed for world peace while others dreamed to play basketball. One member, Savon Kirksey, a junior at Carbondale Community High School, dreamed about showing people it’s okay to be themselves. The Day of Service also featured activities such as making get-well cards for children at Shriner’s Hospital and Valentine’s Day cards for military personnel.

SIU says goodbye to Beck ADIE APPLEGATE Daily Egyptian Coats hung on racks in front of the Law School Auditorium across from timeworn pictures of a man called Bob. In front of these pictures stood a line of mourners. The air was heavy and silent as they passed photos of vacations and holidays. Some people would find one that made them

smile, as they remembered the man they came to honor. Robert E. Beck taught in the SIU School of Law for 25 years. He earned his retirement chair in 2002 and continued to work on natural resource law. He passed away Dec. 6, 2013 and the law school held a memorial for him Jan. 17. Sheila Simon, Lt. Gov. of Illinois, a colleague and friend of Beck, was among the guests and said his

character would be remembered as well as his career. “To his friends and coworkers, Bob was a character who showed his personality more than his achievements,” Simon said. “To the law faculty he was known to make a delicious yet tedious Martha Washington cake.” William Schroeder, a colleague of Beck’s who knew him throughout his SIU career, said he was accomplished and well-respected in the law community. “Bob did great work in natural resource law, he was considered a leading scholar across the nation,” he said. “He wrote a few books on the subject and his work is still helping our judicial system when it comes to our natural resources. He did great things in his field,” Schroeder said. But the people sitting in the auditorium Friday were there for more than just his academic accomplishments. Tom Britton, a close friend of Beck’s and retiree, was among them. “He was an opera aficionado and a world traveler who complained about being sore from riding elephants in India,” Britton said.

Saluki Shakers fall short in Florida TIA RINEHART Daily Egyptian Hard work and dedication throughout the season brought the Saluki Shakers close to a final spot Saturday at the Universal Dance Association’s Collegiate Nationals in Orlando, Fla. Despite their efforts, the team failed to make the top eight finalists and returned home Monday. Coach Tawmi Conley said the trip was full of practicing, performing and team bonding. Conley has coached the Shakers for 15 years and said the team has competed in the UDA Collegiate Nationals for about 10 years. The Shakers spend all semester preparing for the competition Conley said, and the beginning of the semester is hard to get practice time in because of football games. Saluki Shakers captain Chelsea Lemon said the beginning of the season is spent working on technique to get everyone up to the collegiate level. They learned their routines for both the Jazz and HipHop competitions in October. “Two choreographers come from out-of-state for a weekend

to teach the girls their routines,” Conley said. From then on the team works every day on perfecting the choreography, she said. The week after finals and the week before the spring semester consist of two, three-hour practices a day. On Jan. 15 the day finally came for their departure to Orlando, Fla. The trip started with waking up Thursday morning to eat a team breakfast, Conley said. The Shakers then enjoyed a day of fun at the parks in Disney World. It was here that first-year Saluki Shaker and transfer student from Venezuela, Andrea Hernandez tried out for a mock American Idol at Hollywood Studios. “I guess I was better than I thought,” Hernandez said. She said she first sang in front of an Idol staff member. This staff member then took her to a producer where she sang one song in Spanish and Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman.” The staff then told her she was going on to the live show at 2 p.m. that afternoon. Please see SHAKERS · 2

“When they told us, Tawmi lost it,” Hernandez said. “They then took me to get my hair and makeup done like a movie star.” Hernandez said she met with a producer to get a few quick lessons before the performance. There are about five small shows with three contestants every day and at the end of the day the winners from each compete in one last show she said. “The show was huge and looked just like the show on TV,” Hernandez said. “I competed with two other people but didn’t make it to the final show that they have that night. It was all just for fun though.” They made a video to display why Hernandez was at Disney World, just like the show American Idol, and the whole team got to be in it, she said. After the excitement of the American Idol experience, the team had to get back to work; they had practice time slots that night. “We had 20 minutes to practice our Jazz routine and 20 minutes to practice our HipHop routine,” Conley said. The team then ate dinner together and had free time until the next morning. Once again, the Shakers had a team breakfast and then were allowed time to spend with their family at the Disney parks until practice later in the evening. Saturday was competition day, and at 2 p.m. the Shakers competed in Hip-Hop. Conley said mistakes were made during the Hip-Hop routine when it came to stunts and choreography. “Two tricks dropped and we had hats fall off while on the floor,” she said. “We weren’t expecting to make it to finals.” Although the team was disappointed with their performance, Conley said they were

only four points away from making it to the finals. Later that night, around 6 p.m., Conley said the Shakers competed with their Jazz routine. “It was the best I had ever seen them do it,” she said. “Even though we didn’t make it to finals with the Jazz routine either, they couldn’t have done it better.” Conley said they missed finals with their Jazz routine by only 4.5 points. “It was a lot of fun,” Hernandez said. “And definitely a learning experience as a dancer.” Conley said the Shakers finished the trip off as a team by watching the Division I schools compete Sunday and bonding until their return home Monday morning. Lemon said after competing for three years in Nationals, this year was different because it was her last. The competition this year was bittersweet for the senior captain. “It was really fun to say the least and we did what we came there to do,” Lemon said. “I am so extremely proud of my team.”

Mark Dolan, assistant professor in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts, was elected president of the National Press Photographer’s Association Sunday by the organization’s board of directors. The meeting was held at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia in Athens. Dolan is an assistant professor

within the school of journalism teaching courses in photojournalism and multimedia communications. He received his Master’s degree from Syracuse University in the Department of Visual and Interactive Communications at the Newhouse School, and has more than 25 years of visual and multimedia journalism experience.

The organization fights for the rights of photographers and helps with legal issues surrounding the way visual journalists earn their living, Dolan said.

Jacobs met Webb when she invited him to play at SIU for the Distinguished Organ Recital Series she established. The series was one of the many contributions she made to the university. She also established

There are six officers who make up the executive committee, six elected directors and six appointed directors. As president, Dolan said he plans to continue advocacy of the work of visual journalists and to support the rights of photographers to do their jobs. “The organization has done tremendous work with advocacy,” Dolan said. “We’re always seeking ways to help out our members.” Other accomplishments Dolan has made in his time at the NPPA include winning the John Durniak Mentoring award in 2009. This award is given to an individual who

has served as an outstanding mentor, either to a specific individual or to photojournalism in general. The NPPA student organization at the university was named “Outstanding Student Chapter of the Year” in 2013 for its work documenting a tornado that went through southern Illinois, called “4:56 a.m. The Story of the February 29, 2012 Tornado.” Kyle Sutton can be reached at ksutton@dailyegyptian.com, on Twitter at @KyleSutton_DE or 536-3311 ext. 258.

and organized the SIUC Organ Festivals from 1966 to 1980. One of her greatest contributions to the school was the 58-rank Reuter pipe organ she designed in 1969. The organ took two years to build on the second level of Shryock Auditorium, and is where she spent many hours throughout her career. In 2001 the organ was named after her. Before Friday, Jacobs had already played the instrument twice. “It is a beautiful instrument,” he said. “It feels like an old friend.” Webb was a highly regarded organist and studied in Paris as a Fulbright Scholar before joining the SIU faculty. As she taught she continued to tour the country as a concert artist. But to many, Webb was a teacher. Frank Grzych, director of the school of music, is in his first year at SIU and did not work with Webb, but said she left a legacy. “In the short time I have been here, I know that Marianne has quite a legacy including her students’ success,” he said. Faculty who knew her said her students were incredibly important to her. She was known to go out of her way to help struggling students, even as far as purchasing textbooks they couldn’t afford. Jacobs said Webb was an influence on his teaching.

Beck was the youngest member of his family born in 1937 on a farm in Minnesota. He graduated high school in 1954 and enrolled at the University of Minnesota the same year. This was the beginning for Beck. He earned degrees in Law from the University of Minnesota and New York University, and began teaching law in 1962 at the University of North Dakota School of Law. He came to Carbondale in 1976 and began teaching at the university. Britton said it was in Carbondale where Beck formed some lasting bonds. “These colleagues and companions listened to Beck’s last vacation plans as he lay in different hospital beds,” Britton said. “These were the people who brought him clothes and mementos. They all came together to spend the time he had left with his family and him.” As pictures of Beck were projected on a screen in the auditorium both of his families passed around tissues and reminisced about the times they had with him. They laughed at some photos, but cried while viewing most, remembering his little quirks.

Edward Charity, left, Benjamin Bollero, Jacob Tews and Jennifer Franklund of Southern Illinois Chamber Music Society’s ripieno ensemble perform Sunday at the Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship. The Society presented a baroque style of music that was popularized from 1600 to 1750 and transitioned the arts from the Renaissance to Classical periods.

Music society performs Baroque ADIE APPLEGATE Daily Egyptian The Southern Illinois Chamber of Music Society performed its Baroque Celebration Sunday at the Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship. The performance featured Maryse Carlin on the harpsichord and Douglas Worthen on the flute. It was the second concert of the 2013-2014 season and will be followed by two more, each one featuring different musicians. Carlin, a professor at Washington University, made her harpsichord debut at Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, and has performed worldwide as a pianist and a harpsichordist. Worthen, SIU assistant professor of music, has also performed abroad. He previously taught at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. Eric Lenz, SIU associate professor of music, as well as a member of the society, said the Chamber Society was vital to the lifeblood of music in southern Illinois.

“The main mission of the society is to promote chamber music through the region while providing scholarships to talented students who wish to study music at SIU,” Lenz said. “We provide a high quality concert series which uses the proceeds of admission prices to fund those scholarships.” These performances have gone on for more than a decade, and usually feature SIU faculty as well as string instrument students who study at the university. “Some of the students performing in the concert are ones who have received scholarships from the Society,” Lenz said. “Many patrons donate more than the admission price because of the cause it is supporting.” The concert included pieces from the Baroque era. School of Music faculty members joined Carlin, including Worthen on flute, Edward Charity on violin, Jacob Tews on viola and Lenz on violoncello. Petra Bubanja, Jennifer Franklund

and Richard Davis, who all have master’s degree in music, as well as Benjamin Bollero, a sophomore majoring in music, joined the faculty in performing “Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major” by Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the most famous pieces of Baroque composition. The concert also featured a premier piece, a first for the chamber society. The piece, titled “An Opening, A Waltz, A Song, An Ending”, was composed by Lawrence Axelrod, a composer, pianist and conductor from Chicago. Worthen, Charity, Tews and Lenz all joined Carlin in the premiere performance. To support the chamber society, patrons can purchase season tickets or donate to the Allegro Group, which funds the scholarships.

“Shadow Recruit” recovers after shaky start KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER Daily Egyptian It has been almost 12 years since the last Jack Ryan movie, “The Sum of All Fears,” came to theaters. “Fears” was released just months after 9/11 and actually features a scene where terrorists nuke a football game. While the movie was in production before the events of that day, the film took on a new light without expecting to have to. So in the new Jack Ryan movie, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” (Rated PG13; 105 Min.), writers Adam Cozad and David Koepp make it clear Ryan’s motivations are driven by 9/11. The movie begins on that day as the audience sees Ryan watch the plane hit the second tower through a reflection on the wall. The problem with “Shadow Recruit” is it fast-forwards from this sequence too quickly. Instead of exploring how this moment turned an economic scholar into a soldier (the next shot is Ryan in a helicopter in Iraq), we get a very brief series of shots explaining Ryan’s background. Cozad and Koepp merely use 9/11 as a launching point, rather than a commentary on how that day changed anyone who watched it, at least until later on in the film. 9/11 has been explored in a variety of ways on film since the attacks. Some stories tackle it head on: “United 93” told the story of the passengers who overtook the

hijackers and crashed their plane in Pennsylvania, and “World Trade Center,” which followed firefighters trapped in the rubble. Other movies also use the events as a launching point, or ending point, to varying success: “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” was set in motion after Tom Hanks died in the attacks, and the 2010 romance “Remember Me” actually used the events in a controversial twist ending one could argue bordered on insensitivity. The best character study following the events was last year’s “Zero Dark Thirty,” which introduced 9/11 in a terrifying manner — the screen is dark as audio from news reports and the cell phones of people on the planes is blared through the speakers. That sequence set up a brilliant character study, in which the lead character Maya became obsessed with finding Osama bin Laden and was willing to condone anything, even torture, to get the job done. At the end of the film, after bin Laden is assassinated, the audience sees Maya climb aboard a plane and break down right before the camera goes dark. It’s a powerful ending to a sprawling 3-hour tale. “Jack Ryan” fails to match this motivation in the acting department, somewhat because Chris Pine is not the greatest actor to be put in the CIA agent’s shoes, but also because a good portion of the dialogue in the film’s first third is clunky. The movie speeds from scene to scene instead of developing Ryan and his handler Thomas

Harper (Kevin Costner). Luckily, the writers saved the best for later, really kicking the movie into gear about the time Ryan meets the film’s central antagonist Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh, also the film’s director). Cherevin is a Russian banker who has plans to crash the U.S. economy, and Ryan is the only one smart enough to stop him. At least, that’s the way it seems after the fifth joke about how no one is coming to help him. Instead of going over the top like in “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol,” which also featured a Russian threat to the United States, “Jack Ryan” sticks to the espionage and saves the big action piece for the climax. The series has been more about the plot than the explosions, a trait lost in the action-packed promotion for the film. The film maintains prestige mainly through Branagh, the most interesting and well-developed character in the whole piece. The audience learns of his past and his obsessions, as well as the familial sacrifices he has made for the cause. “Jack Ryan” resurrects Cold War-era politics in an age where movies often portray the Middle East as the greatest threat to our way of life, something spy movies have avoided for quite a while. It harkens back to the paranoia thrillers of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, not as ridiculous as the Roger Moore-era Bond movies, but not as clever as the Sean Connery Bond era. However, like Ryan’s motivation, this retro plot device

PROVIDED PHOTO

is an element the movie does not explore enough. “Jack Ryan” is a consistently entertaining, lean, mean thriller that would benefit from more meat on its narrative’s bones.

While the idea of Jack Ryan post9/11 is worth exploring, the writers don’t give him the same dedication other 9/11 scripts have given their characters, and that keeps it from being a truly great spy film.

Dawgs drop pair of matches to open season TONY MCDANIEL Daily Egyptian

JACOB HAINES · DAILY EGYPTIAN

Sophomore Jonny Rigby works on his forehand stroke Monday during a midday practice. Rigby was able to pick up a 6-2, 6-2 victory against South Dakota State University junior Andrea Boglić in singles action Saturday. The Salukis lost 4-3 overall to SDSU. The team will face Northern Illinois University Jan. 31 in Rockford.

The SIU men’s tennis team kicked off the 2014 season with losses against Oklahoma State University Friday and against South Dakota State University Saturday. The Salukis traveled to Stillwater, Okla. for their first matches of the season from the newly built Greenwood Tennis Center, a 50,000 square foot indoor facility. The team played its first match Friday losing 4-0 to the Cowboys and suffered a 4-3 defeat Saturday to the Jackrabbits. SIU started off against a tough OSU team, the Cowboys swept the Salukis in all sets during singles play and took both matches during doubles. Coach Dann Nelson chalked the loss up to the Salukis’ fitness and match preparation after the break. “Oklahoma State is very good. They’ll be ranked at some point during the year,” Nelson said. “We’re coming off a sixweek layoff, we practiced a week and then we played two matches. So we’re still getting into the swing of things.” New to the 2014 season are several rule changes from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the governing body of college tennis.

Prior to the 63-44 loss to the Sycamores, the team took a tough 76-59 loss Friday against the Illinois State University Redbirds. The Redbirds won only two games before defeating the Salukis. ISU shot 82 percent from the free-throw line, better than the Salukis’ 68 percent. The Redbirds never gave the Salukis a chance to lead. Coach Cindy Stein said the Salukis sometimes lack energy and confidence, which leads to losses like the game against the Redbirds. ISU sophomore forward Octavia Crump led the Redbirds with 20 points. Right behind her was ISU senior guard Chloe Nelson with 19 points.

Junior guard Mercedes Griffin charges past an Illinois State University player Friday during the women’s 76-59 loss to the Redbirds. Griffin finished the game with 14 points, 10 of them from free throws.

The Salukis were also outscored in the paint. The Redbirds scored 42 points in the lane, to the Salukis’ 20 points. Sophomore forward Dyana Pierre and junior guard Mercedes Griffin led SIU with 14 points each, but it was not enough to defeat the Redbirds. The last few losses for the Salukis have had one common denominator: turnovers. They played a huge factor with 22 in the loss to ISU and 27 Sunday against the Sycamores. “I liked the way our kids rallied,” Stein said. “I didn’t like our turnovers and obviously we are probably going to get pressed the entire season and that’s just something we’ll have to continue to get better at.” Although the Salukis came up short, they showed much more aggression and hustle against Indiana State. Even so, the Sycamores went on a run that helped keep their undefeated conference record. It was a close battle until the Sycamores went on a 10-0 run with under 10 minutes remaining in the second half. Indiana State did not make it easy for SIU to get the ball down the court. The Sycamores unleashed a tough full court press defense, which helped the Sycamores snatch 14 steals. By halftime, the Sycamores were on top of the Salukis 31-23. Indiana State scored 10 bench points to SIU’s zero. The Salukis did not hit a 3-pointer the entire game, which stalled their comeback run. Indiana State went 4-12 from behind the arc, while SIU went 0-7. Stein said the only way they are going to become better shooters is by taking extra shots in practice. “We have to hit some outside shots,” Stein said. “We have to find one or two kids that can score on the perimeter and I think that’s going to help open up a lot of stuff for us.” Stein was proud of her junior guard’s performance. Griffin led the Salukis in scoring against the Sycamores with 15 points. For the rest of the story, see dailyegyptian.com
