Two campus greenhouses to be renovated HeatHer CaCHola | @HeatherCachola

A campus greenhouse that holds plants from around the world— some of which are almost 75 years old— will be renovated this year.

Greenhouses used by the colleges of agriculture and science are due for construction in the upcoming months.

The estimated total budget for the project is $4.6 million, which is divided among three main sources.

The state provided $2.4 million, the Facility Maintenance Fee paid by students supplied $1.2 million and the remaining $1 million was raised by the College of Agriculture and College of Science, said Phil Gatton, the director of Plant and Services Operations.

Capital Development Board, an state agency focused on construction, manages this project. The differences between the projects are based on the level of construction being performed on each building and which department they service.

The College of Agriculture’s greenhouse—situated behind the agriculture building—was constructed in 1955 and serves as a teaching facility for the students and teachers of SIU. Gatton said the maintenance department has performed many cosmetic alterations, but it is still an outdated building.

“There is a major construction project in the next 10 years that is

H oliday W agner | @HolidayWagnerDE Afternoon sunlight falls onto plants Monday in the Plant Biology Greenhouse. Richard Cole, the facility manager, said that the most unique aspect about the greenhouse is that it houses plants from all over the world. With flora ranging from tropical to desert, the greenhouse allows people to see plants unlike any found in southern Illinois. Both the Plant Biology Greenhouse and the greenhouse of the College of Agriculture will undergo construction beginning in May. “The renovations are mostly modernization, a lot of things that were done by hand will be done mechanically,” Cole said. Which, according to Cole, means a climate controlled environment for optimum plant growth and development. “I’ll be able to grow healthier, nicer plants and we’ll be able to do more research,” Cole said.

basically going to rebuild Ag, and these greenhouses we just couldn’t wait any longer,” he said.

Plans for the College of Agriculture involve the complete demolition of the original structure apart from the “head house” that is original to the building.

During the construction, Amy Boren, a professor in the College of Agriculture, said students will still

have access to a space for research facilities and the college will still teach the same courses in an alternate space.

Issues with the greenhouse include structural problems with the general layout, the mechanical systems and the glass and framing because of their age. Without mechanical systems, the staff cannot control temperature or moisture, Gatton said.

Demolition will begin in late summer, and the project will take eight to 12 months.

The other greenhouse on campus due for construction is the College of Science’s plant biology greenhouse, situated behind the Life Science II building.

The building’s existing structure will be renovated and its interior updated. Construction for this

project is slated to start in July and be finished in six months.

The first building was built in the 1940s and the rest added in the 1950s. The main structure, the brick base and the framing that holds the glass panes will be kept during the construction, said Stephen Ebbs, a professor in the College of Science.

The interior modifications include a new cooling system, lighting and improvements to the existing heat system. All these systems will be automated with sensors, which read and control the temperature and moisture level in the greenhouse.

Richard Cole, facilities operations manager for the Plant Biology greenhouse, said the updates will make regulating the environment more convenient.

“Automation will help us a little because someone still has to be here seven days a week,” Cole said. “The way that it is right now, everything is hand cranked, so as the day progresses the vents must be opened and closed to regulate the temperatures.”

Another improvement on the functionality of the greenhouse is to make the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is an issue because the greenhouse is open to the public, student groups and clubs.

“We want this building to be as readily accessible as it needs to be,” Ebbs said.

Students open Asian-American Heritage Month auStin Miller | @AMiller_DE Asian-American culture is not found at Panda Express, tattooed on the backs of young women or at a dry cleaner’s.

A.J. Soriano, president of the United Asian American Council, helped kickoff AsianAmerican Heritage Month by dispelling those stereotypes of Asian culture Tuesday in the International Lounge of the Student Center.

The council is a Registered Student Organization designed to serve and unite the 328 Asian students at SIU. The month’s events highlight people from China, Japan, Bangladesh and India.

“I find Asian-American in my grandfather, who fought side by side with Americans in World War II, and taught me to never back down,” said Soriano, a senior from Downers Grove studying S teve M atzker | @SteveMatzker business management.

From left to right, Todd Walkington, Stephanie Weber, Katelin Coursey, Zoe Jensen and Brandon Phetsadasack enjoy in complimentary fortune cookies during the opening ceremony of Asian-American Soriano, who moved to the U.S. from the Heritage Month at the International Student Lounge in the Student Center. Phetsadasack and Walkington Philippines when he was 3 years old, said he are members of Kappa Alpha Order and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, respectively, while Jensen and Coursey are members of Alpha Gamma Delta. The group said they came out to the opening ceremony in support of Alhopes this month can help bring together Asian pha Tau Omega philanthropy chair, AJ Soriano, who helped organize the event. The monthlong celebration and American cultures. of Asian-American culture is sponsored by the Center for Inclusive Excellence.

One way of unifying everyone comes in the form of wearing a lei, a necklace of flowers traditionally given to visitors to Hawaii.

Nathan Stephens, director of the Center for Inclusive Excellence, said Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Selma in 1965 was not just a day for African-Americans to stand together.

King and several others walked with the leis draped around their necks, showing support from the Asian-American culture.

“It may seem out of place. It may seem odd.

But this flowery optimism is amidst a backdrop of intimidation, violence and federalized troops,” Stephens said.

Because of this message, all attendees were handed white leis to come together in the same way.

“These leis are symbolic of the solidarity between all of those groups as espoused today,” Stephens said. “Instead of thinking about Asians as a group, think of them as something else, as humans, just like me and just like you.”

Even though all of the white, black and Asian peoples are coming together for April, Soriano said there is still work to be done for minority groups.

One example of the unifying of Asian cultures in America began after the murder of Vincent Chin in 1982.

Chin was working at an automotive supplier in Michigan when he was beaten with a baseball bat by two men who thought he was Japanese.

Animosity toward the people stemmed from many American auto jobs being taken by Japanese workers.

Chin died four days later, a few days before his wedding.

Soriano said Asian Americans are still questioned about their identity, as if some need them to prove how American they are.

He said it forces them to assimilate under one umbrella, when there are many different kinds.

“No other groups are constantly compared to Kung-Fu stars because of the movies,” he said.

Soriano said he hopes the month will allow people to talk about key issues like the Japanese internment camps and the thousands of forced Chinese laborers who built the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1800s.

More than 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were detained in camps following Pearl Harbor attack.

“We don’t like to talk about how Japanese people had all of their rights

s teve M atzker | @SteveMatzker A.J. Soriano, president of the United Asian American Council, opened Asian-American Heritage Month at the Student Center with comments about Asian-American identity in the U.S. Soriano said the monthlong program is a way to challenge the status quo in regards to how Asian-Americans are preceived. He paid homage to all the Asian-Americans who worked hard to give their children better lives and assimilate into the American culture.

“My mother may have an accent,” Soriano said. “She doesn’t think with one.”

taken away, even though they were American citizens,” he said. “They were placed into internment camps just because people were afraid of Japanese spies.”

Stephens, who deals with all kinds of students at the Center for Inclusive Excellence, said it is important to recognize all different cultures as equal.

He said it is important to bring students together with these events to establish connections among the SIU populace.

Stephens, a black male, working with Soriano and his primarily white fraternity brothers, is exactly what Stephens wants to see.

“Work to make those connections happen, because they aren’t accidental,” he said.

Among the speakers at the event, two Asian faculty members were honored for the service in the SIU community.

Mythili Rundblad, coordinator of service learning and volunteerism, was honored as the Outstanding

Administrative Professional Staff Member award and Nilanjana Bardhan, director of graduate communication studies, with the Outstanding Asian-American Professor.

“For my siblings and my mom… the proudest of our lives was when we became Americans,” Rundblad said.

The United Asian American Council will host several other events to commemorate the month, which can be found at www. inclusiveexcellence.siu.edu.

Plants and students alike will benefit from this renovation.

This greenhouse is a valuable, living collection, like a minibotanical garden, Ebbs said.

Many undergraduate and graduate classes take trips to the greenhouse, and students with research projects can work inside with the existing plants.

Students are also hired to work in the greenhouse to gain practical experience taking care of these plants and learning about the different species.

Each area of the greenhouse is specialized and represents a different type of ecosystem.

“The structure of this greenhouse is E-shaped, the main house or the backbone is tropical foliage, the south house is desert and succulents, the middle house is rainforest and ferns, and then the last house is a research and horticultural work area,” Cole said.

Ebbs said the renovations could lead to more plants being housed in the building.

“A goal of this renovation is to have better control over the climate in the greenhouse, so there is less unpredictability so we can have less accidental losses,” Ebbs said. “Ideally, we could not only maintain our current collection but even expand a bit further.”

Ninja fills lonely gap in student center CHASE MYERS | @chasemyers_DE For anyone venturing to the student center with an empty stomach, the words “Ninja Noodles and Rice” may raise an eyebrow or two.

The grand opening of Ninja Noodles and Rice on March 30 at the student center provided students with samples and prizes associated with the new restaurant, which will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays.

The food is organized in a “choose-yourtoppings” fashion where students build a meal from the ground up. After the choice of steamed rice or noodles, customers are allowed to pick from an assortment of meats, sauces and vegetables.

Although people take notice when a new restaurant pops up in the student center out of thin air, few realize the logistics behind restaurant’s arrival.

One misconception is the Undergraduate Student Government oversees the process of student food options, but in fact, the only influence the USG has is their Senator seat on the Student Center Advisory Board,

USG President Cameron Shulak said.

Franchises like Subway, Starbucks and McDonald’s start in the student center with a proposal. They fill out an application, which is chosen from a committee on the Student Center Advisory Board, Student Center Director Tena Bennett said.

Everything else in the building is a concept developed and operated by the school, from food preparation to serving, Bennett said.

Other than standard regulations and guidelines set by the franchises, the day to day operations are controlled by SIU, and student workers move around from shop to shop daily to serve, Chris Mcgregor, grill cook at Ninja said.

“We are only a team of nine people that are employed by SIU,” he said. “We could not serve all these people on a daily basis, so [student workers] are there to help us” The location of Ninja Noodles could serve as troublesome for business because of the distance between them and the rest of the marketplace, he said.

“What we wanted to see was more

business to the food court and what it’s doing is just splitting it up,” he said. “But, it gives the kids something else. What we are shooting for later on down the road is a little more variety.”

Ninja’s territory has had a consistent motif of Asian cuisine, replacing Jow Jing, an Asian restaurant offering sushi two years ago. Before Jow Jing, a food venture named “Chef Yan Can Cook,” was the tenant, which flopped after just one year, closing in 2009.

“We knew we wanted some sort of an Asian concept of that Asian flair food,” Bennett said. “We felt like we were lacking in that, so we have always leaned toward that.”

Students have shown mixed feelings about Ninja’s business thus far and the main issue has been the price of food, Laura McFarland, a senior from St. Louis studying linguistics, said.

“Most of the people I have talked to who have gotten it said they would not get it again unless they lower the price,” Mcfarland said.

The idea of an Asian restaurant has not

been a hindering element to marketplace business, as some students do enjoy the food.

“You get a big portion, and I like it,” Drake Anthony, a senior from Goodfield studying chemistry, physics and math, said. “I do not know if it is because of the time of day I go, but it is not really packed there ever.”

While some people feel the location is a problem, others find it slightly more convenient.

“I like it because I get to skip [the Marketplace Food Court] line,” Brian Heine, a senior from Ava studying chemistry, said. “There is only one line for that one and most of the time my food choices are dependent on how much time I have to eat that day.”

As the restaurant continues to grow, the business may follow suit, but the initial concerns seem to outweigh the pros during Ninja’s infancy.

“I’ll continue to eat there. I like the big meal portion because I do not eat breakfast,” Anthony said. “But, it is definitely a more fragile business than say Chick-Fil-A, McDonald’s or Subway.”

Fifth annual Edible Book April Fools’ Day Festival promotes creativity around the world JACOB PIERCE | @JACOBPIERCE1_DE A library can be a daunting place for some people.

The Edible Book Festival plans to make libraries a little more welcoming.

Morris Library will host the Fifth Annual Edible Book Festival on today from 3 to 5 p.m. The event will be located in the first floor rotunda and involves contests with several different categories of edible books, including Best in Show, People’s Choice and Punniest.

The event was created by Judith A. Hoffberg, an art curator and librarian, and Beatrice Coron, an artist, in 2000. Its philosophies come from French food lover Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, whose fame comes from a book on the meditation of food.

The Festival is always held on April 1, BrillatSavarin’s birthday, and can be held by any school who sends a request through the International Edible Book Festival’s website.

It was brought to Southern Illinois University Carbondale by former humanities and fine art librarian, Megan Lotts and former preservation librarian Julie Mosbo.

Sarah Prindle, humanities and fine arts librarian at Morris Library, has coordinated the event since 2014.

“Libraries are looked at as serious, literature is so serious,” she said. “In fact, both are more about play, silliness and pad puns than people think.”

She said an edible book is a physical representation of a novel using food. The possibilities are only limited to being related to fiction. Some people prefer to make versions of the books out of food, while some make illustrations from the story out of food, Prindle said.

“The thought behind it is just as important as the craftsmanship,” she said.

Part of making libraries and literature fun, is to add humor to them, especially through puns, which are huge in the Edible Book Festival, Prindle said.

“There is something revolutionary in a bad pun,” Prindle said.

A key goal for the festival in its fifth iteration is to

involve more people. Lotts ran the event until 2013 when she left SIU. Afterward, the event became a smaller gathering, going from as many as 25 entries, to six entries, Prindle said. When Prindle came in 2014, she decide to restore the festival to its original form.

Susan Tulis, the associate dean for Information Services—who used to help publicize the event—is now on the participant’s side.

“It is the perfect day to eat your words,” she said.

“And to play with them as books.”

Her category of choice tends to be punniest, she said. Last year she created an edible book based on Janet Evanovich’s “Sizzling Sixteen.” It was made out of a frying pan and sixteen pieces of bacon, Tulis said.

People do not realize the entries do not have to be based on fine literature, a lot of great pieces coming from popular fiction, she said.One of last year’s winners was a marshmallow dessert based on the children’s book “The Little Engine That Could,” Tulis said.

“It is a very clever way of getting people to look at books, look at the titles and be able to come up with something very creative to represent that book,” she said.

Pat Luebke, the children’s librarian at the Carbondale Public Library, has partnered with the Edible Book Festival for two years now. The library held an edible story time both years to help support the event, Luebke said.

The festival helps kids be creative in general, she said.

Story time can be more of a two dimensional way of thinking, involving this helps the kids think more three dimensionally. Something like this pushes the creativity in a way that also promotes reading, Luebke said.

“From what I saw last year, 60 percent of the books where children’s books,” she said. “It is really cool to see the families come together and create something like this.”

The contests will be judged by individuals from the library, art and design and English departments. There is no cost to enter a piece. Entries may be submitted until 3:00 p.m. on April 1.

ANAIS ENGLER |@anaisengler Today is April 1, the only day lies are without consequence, pranking your roommate is mandatory and announcing bad news to your family is funny.

The origin of April Fools’ Day is not well defined, but this fun tradition exists worldwide and the ways people celebrate changes from one location to another.

Yu Ting Ching, a senior from Taipei, Taiwan, studying psychology, said in her country people make mostly harmless jokes to friends and family all day.

“For example, our teachers can start the class by announcing a quiz and everyone gets scared,” she said.

However, it is also an occasion to tell the truth.

“It is the time you can go and say to someone you have feeling for him or her, and then say it is a joke even if it is not,” Ching said.

If there are jokes made in the media, it is about daily things, like a false advertisement for a store’s sale she said.

But most of the jokes are made online, on social networks and blogs.

Felipe Tabushi, a junior from Curitiba, Brazil, studying medicine, said these jokes are made on “dia da mentira,” the day of the lie.

“Most of the entertainment blogs do something funny on that day, even if they already make jokes all year,” he said.

But this tradition also includes jokes in real life.

“It is the time you can make your parents or your friends believe everything,” he said.

Tabushi said there are also common

traditions among young people.

“We used to write down words and stick them on the back of our friends in junior high and even in high school,” he said.

“Dia de los inocentes,” or the day of the naïve, is celebrated in Spain on Dec. 28 along with the rest of the Hispanic world, said Beatriz Gomez PerezGorostiaga, a senior from Pontevedra, Spain, studying electrical engineering.

“Usually kids goto prank store on that day and buy things to scare family still together during Christmastime,” she said.

Perez-Gorostiaga said there are also media-based jokes at the expense of celebrities.

“In Spain there is also this TV program on the main national channel that pranks celebrities,” she said. “It is pretty funny.”

Perez-Gorostiaga said kids and teenagers place little human-shaped pieces of paper on the backs of their friends.

When they figure it out everyone shouts and laughs, she said.

Kids and teenagers can find these figures for free on the main street’s candy shop of their town.

In France, people celebrate it the same way but on April 1. The game is to secretly stick little pieces of paper shaped like fish on someone and when they figure it out everyone shouts “Poisson d’Avril,” or April’s fish.

April Fools’ Day is present everywhere, at different times of the year and in different ways but worldwide, it remains as the day to gently scare people

‘The Breakfast Club’ still gets it wrong MARISSA NOVEL | @MarissaNovelDE

Coming to age films are no stranger to the big screen.

Jacob Pierce and I both reviewed the influential film “The Breakfast Club” to see if it stands up to the test of time.

Thirty years later, “The Breakfast Club” screams “won’t you” rather than “don’t you forget about me.”

The John Hughes classic, while having said to inspire many of today’s filmmakers, is a 21st century flop because of its narrative content.

If any memories need jogging, the basic plot of this film follows five teenagers as they enter Saturday detention, which is under the reign of controlling assistant principal Richard “Dick” Vernon, played by Paul Gleason.

Cinematically, the film is genius. Despite the countless cheesy 1980s guitar riffs, the utilization of sound surpasses many of today’s feature films.

The subtle echoes of fingers tapping and paper crumbling have never seemed so loud in a practically empty library. The sound of footsteps on a linoleum floor is so reminiscent of narrow high school hallways it is almost scary.

Even the more noticeable, suspenseful sound effects are impactful. The scene in which John Bender, played by Judd Nelson, is stealthily creeping above the school ceiling could have viewers on the edge of their seats.

The shots are just as immaculate visually, with each character placed in the frame in an ever-soaesthetically pleasing manner.

To get to my main qualm with the film, the characters are so rigidly stereotyped they are harmful.

Bender, a criminal and bully, takes his insecurities out on his fellow detainees by insulting their lifestyles and even their lunches.

He goes as far as sexually assaulting Claire Standish, played by Molly Ringwald, verbally and physically.

Though Standish, the popular princess, is no hero. Her superficiality is noticeable in the beginning as she turns her nose up at everyone in the library but the jock, Andrew Clark, played by Emilio Estevez.

In the end, her shallowness is more overt than ever as she admits she would not be caught dead associating with more than half of her detentionfriends during school hours.

Perhaps the most shocking aspect of Standish’s character is revealed when she seduces Bender near the end of the film, kissing him on the neck and eventually on the lips before the two part. Now, this may not be the case for all women, but being sexually attracted to someone who nonconsensually peeped beneath your skirt and pestered you for information on your sex life seems outrageously unlikely.

The other characters are just as tritely obscene.

Standish’s ally, Clark, is a typical high school athlete with an anger problem. He claims he cannot think for himself, but admits he too would never associate with the lower-status members of the detention group.

The brain, Brian Ralph Johnson, played by Anthony Michael Hall, hardly stands up for himself when bullied by his new peers. Even after divulging information about his self-worth and suicide attempt, the group still forces the nerd to write their papers for them.

The basket case, Allison Reynolds, played by

Ally Sheedy, is ignored entirely unless she is shaking dandruff upon her drawing or sprinkling cereal into her sandwich. She gains the attention of Clark in one scene after Standish gives her a makeover, feminizing her and removing all of her previous style.

The only time these characters empathize with each other is by way of a left-handed cigarette.

While sitting in the circle may be more of an enhanced shared experience than detention, it would be refreshing to see some compassion that was not drug induced.

The one enjoyable character in the film is the custodian played by

John Kapelos.

The teenagers jeer him for his chosen career path only for him to retort about invading their privacy. The custodian is a working class man demanding respect from those he cleans after.

While the characters in this film upset me, the lackthereof does so more.

People of color and gays are two examples of those who are completely absent from the film. While a rural Illinois high school may have exclusively consisted of white, able-bodied young adults in the 1980s, that does not mean people of other identities did not exist.

If this review is supposed to see whether this film stood up to the test of time, it failed. By presenting such fixed stereotypes, especially in such an entertaining way, this film has perpetuated ideas about our culture that are just plain harmful.

Sexually harassing someone should not be presented as attractive. People should not be shoved into gender specific boxes. Social status should not determine friendships.

In the end, teenagers are far more deep than this film begins to attempt to explain.

JACOB PIERCE | @JACOBPIERCE1_DE

Fiction is a wonderful thing. It has the ability to go beyond itself and become a piece of every person experiencing it.

“The Breakfast Club,” a 1985 film directed by John Hughes, changed several generations and still holds relevance in the digital age.

While I am biased to love

H ANNAH W HITE | Daily Egyptian

“The Breakfast Club,” my critic mask came on and all of the favoritism was pushed down as best as possible. The film still comes out and shows why it has survived so many years of rip-offs, copycats and love letters.

One argument thrown at “The Breakfast Club” is its reliance on stereotypes and tropes, but looking at it on this base level misses a few huge components to the film. The first being the movie basically created these archetypes and tropes.

Before this film, the genre tended to consist of slashers or raunchy comedies like “The Slumber Party Massacre” or “Animal House.” No film touched upon the social hierarchies in high school the way “The Breakfast Club” did.

The stereotypes serve as more than an easy way to convey a character’s personality. They connect the audience, placing them into the shoes of the characters and show archetypes do not make people.

A clear example of this is assistant principal Richard Vernon, played by Paul Gleason, who could have easily been the villain but has so much more to him.

Vernon cares about the teens he is watching over, even if it is in a messed up way. This is evident in the way Gleason reacts after acting tough in front of them. When he leaves them, an expression of pain stretches across his face. Being a tough guy is something he feels he has to do.

These characters are some of the most relatable teens in film history.

This comes from some great performances by the entire cast and terrific writing by John Hughes.

The film hinges on everyone’s performances. The character development emerges from the actors’ simple interactions rather than through expository dialogue.

It is evident in the way John Bender, played by Judd Nelson, shows pain after being called useless; the way Allison, played by Ally Sheedy, shows remorse when she causes the gang to badger Claire, played by Molly Ringwald, about her virginity.

These little pieces add up to one huge beautiful character puzzle.

Hughes knew how to write teenagers in a way few have reached. He looked at them as people and nothing less.

This is seen constantly throughout his work in the way characters talk, their feelings and flaws. Everything is genuine and feels real, as if a teenager from the 1980s wrote the film.

Much like its overall message, complex dynamics lie below the surface of the “The Breakfast Club.” With every new viewing, I find aspects I never saw before. Of course through time, certain scenes have become a little dated, but nothing brings this flick down. With themes of self-confidence, bullying, suicide and home problems, the film is still just as relevant today.

Saluki quarterback race wide open thomas donley | @tdonleyde After SIU football’s 6-6 2014 season left no clear-cut starter at quarterback, the Saluki signal callers are ready to get on the field and show what they can do this spring.

Senior Mark Iannotti, junior Ryan West, and redshirt freshmen Matt DeSomer and Sam Straub are all vying for the starting spot for 2015.

Despite spending most of last season as the starter, Iannotti does not think the starting job is his to lose.

“When you go 6-6, something obviously wasn’t working,” Iannotti said. “I don’t see it as anybody’s position.

I feel like we’re all on an even level.”

Iannotti started 10 games as a junior last year after transferring from Eastern Michigan. He threw for 2,241 yards, 22 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in 12 games at SIU. West started two games and saw action in four more in 2014. He amassed 599 yards, 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions as a sophomore. The Salukis went 3-1 in West’s four starts as a redshirt freshman in 2013.

West said he needs to be more conservative with the ball to win the starting job. The longest-tenured of SIU’s signal callers, he said his knowledge of the Saluki system and quick release give him an advantage against the other quarterbacks.

DeSomer and Straub redshirted last year as first-year freshmen.

DeSomer is the all-time leader at Andrean High School in Merrillville, Ind., in rushing yards and touchdowns and second in passing yards.

Straub is the career leader in completions, passing yards and

touchdowns at Ames High School in Iowa.

Iannotti closed last season with a 266-yard, 2-touchdown passing performance at FCS national runnerup Illinois State.

Quarterbacks coach Nick Hill said although Iannotti played well in the season’s final game, he does not have the starting job locked down.

“Iannotti is in with the [first string] right now,” Hill said Friday. “But they’re all going to get a shot. Nobody’s got a starting spot right now.”

Iannotti said if he had to accept a backup role, he would do so graciously.

“It’s a friendly competition,” Iannotti said. “The coaches have to put the best players on the field. If that’s not me, I have to evaluate myself.

‘What could I have done to win the starting job?’”

West said the idea of carrying a clipboard this fall is hard to stomach.

“That would be pretty hard,” West said. “I wanted [the starting job] pretty bad last year, but this year, I want it even more.”

Coach Dale Lennon said even though no player has separated himself yet, he has been encouraged by what he has seen out of his quarterbacks.

“All four have done really well, so it’s going to be interesting,” Lennon said.

“Iannotti has the experience. Ryan West has played a lot of football. Sam Straub has a good look and DeSomer has a lot of intangibles. Right now, I like what I’m seeing.”

Women’s golf wins Saluki Invitational matt Wells | @mattwells_DE

SIU women’s golf won the twoday Saluki Invitational on Monday at Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Carbondale for the fourth consecutive time.

The team split into an ‘A’ and ‘B’ team, with the ‘B’ team finishing third in the 11-team tournament.

The ‘A’ team was down 7 strokes to SIU Edwardsville after day one, but came back to win the tournament by a stroke. It improved by 13 strokes from Sunday to Monday.

For the first time in her career, junior Mattie Lindner finished as the tournament’s medalist, shooting 74 and 76.

“I think confidence was a huge factor,” Lindner said.

Women’s golf coach Alexis Mihelich said Lindner was prepared to capture her first collegiate victory.

Sophomores Kristie Yang and Brooke Cusumano and senior Kris Grimes finished tied for sixth, tied for 11th and tied for 13th, respectively.

Sophomore Xianmei Jin was the fifth Saluki on the ‘A’ team, tying for 22nd.

Lindner credited Mihelich with re-focusing the team when it was down after Sunday.

“She said, ‘We need to figure out what kind of golfers we are,’” Lindner said. “’[If ] we’re going to battle back being down, or if we’re just going to be OK with losing on our home course. We need to defend our dawghouse. We need to stand up.’”

Lindner said a 7-stroke deficit is a huge gap but the team was not going to let its sister school win.

Mihelich disliked how her team fell behind early on.

“It was definitely disappointing after the first round,” Mihelich said.

“It’s our home course, the course we play every day.”

Lindner said the wind was another factor. She said it is better to use a stronger club because at least the players know they will not be short of the target.

“If [the hole] is 100 yards [away] and you normally use your pitching wedge, you’re really going to need your 7-iron,” Lindner said.

p eter r ogolla | @PeterRogolla_DE Former SIU athlete J.C. Lambert competes in the hammer throw event on Saturday during the Bill Cornell Spring Classic at the Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex. Lambert finished No. 2 at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships on Feb. 28, and hopes to return to the championships beginning June 25 for another shot at No. 1.

Funding keeps former Saluki in the game Brent Meske | @brentmeskeDE

When collegiate competitions end, athletes are left with a choice: get a job or continue competing.

Thrower J.C. Lambert chose the latter.

Lambert, a 2013 SIU graduate, started a GoFundMe campaign Dec. 3 to help raise money to make it to the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships beginning June 25.

“I didn’t want to do one at first,” he said. “I didn’t want to seem like I was just asking for money.”

According to Lambert’s GoFundMe profile, he is attempting to raise $6,000 to support his throwing career through the year. As of Tuesday, 11 people have donated a combined $940. Travel expenses—including a hotel, food, gas and entry fees— cost Lambert about $170 when he traveled to Indiana University and the University of Illinois last year. Lambert said 2014’s trips to indoor and outdoor USA Nationals cost $1,150 and $1,500 respectively.

By starting the campaign, Lambert was able to spend more time conditioning for competition and less working as a server at Mackie’s Pizza in Marion.

“Being on my feet for five to eight hours wears me out and takes away from my training,” he said. “I just wanted to ask for a little bit, not anything extra to pocket. Everything I get, I use for my meets.”

Lambert said it is harder to balance his budget now than while in college.

“In school, I had a scholarship check that covered everything,” he said. “I went from getting all that money a month to now I

have to make it all.”

Now, Lambert sets aside money for bills and has a savings account separate from his track and field fund with each paycheck.

Throws coach John Smith said coming out of college, Lambert was not quite ready for the higher level competition.

“You have to be able to throw the distances to be ready to compete with the best guys in the country,” he said. “He’s working his way up… he can compete.”

On Feb. 28, Lambert threw for 25.53 meters in the 35-pound weight throw to finish No. 2 at the USA Track and Field Indoor Championships. Lambert led for five rounds before A.G. Kruger—a three-time Olympian—beat Lambert by about 2 inches.

Lambert said the loss was hard to cope with.

“It sucked,” he said. “I tweaked my knee… but it’s no excuse.

It wasn’t in the cards, but I’m hoping I can redeem myself this outdoor season.”

Junior SIU thrower DeAnna Price—Lambert’s girlfriend— said she has seen Lambert lose weight and gain strength since leaving SIU. Price said his success comes from his dedication to the sport.

“He studies the sport like no one’s business,” she said. “He analyzes and he knows what will get him to the next level.”

In his five-year career with SIU, Lambert was a 2012 NCAA runner-up for weight throw and earned five All-American awards, the most ever by a Saluki male thrower. Lambert was also a seven-time MVC champion and six-time national qualifier. He still holds the SIU and MVC alltime weight throw records and SIU’s hammer throw record.

During Lambert’s fourth year at SIU, he was diagnosed

with Rocky Mountain spotted fever—a tickborne disease caused by bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—which caused him to redshirt his senior outdoor season.

Lambert was not able to compete for a year and a half because the illness left him weak.

“It knocked me down,” he said. “I started feeling better and training like normal. Now I’m trying to get all my ducks in a row.”

He returned for a fifth year at SIU to throw in the outdoor season and won the MVC Championship for 16-pound hammer throw with a distance of 67.22 meters. The throw broke both the all-time MVC and MVC Championship record as well as breaking his own SIU record. Lambert also earned AllAmerican honors by finishing fifth in the weight throw and qualified for the USATF Outdoor Championships.

Lambert’s parents—Steve and Cheryl—knew the illness would not stop their son from pursuing throwing.

“Nothing has ever come easy for him,” his father said. “He had [mononucleosis] the year before.

I knew he would come back.”

Lambert, a sports administration major, said now he is on a year-byyear basis and if he does not throw 72 meters in the hammer throw he will move on, potentially to coaching.

“There’s not a lot of jobs around here that’s for me,” he said. “I want to coach at a university for track and field.”

Lambert will train until competing again at the Tennessee Relays beginning April 9 in Knoxville, Tenn.
