Students Clouds rumble in as the banjo twangs start relief campaign for Nepal austin Miller | @AMiller_DE More than 5,000 people are already confirmed dead after Saturday’s earthquake in Nepal.

To help send aid back home, members of the Nepalese Student Society of Carbondale have created a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe.com and are taking donations in the Student Center and Morris Library this week.

Ramesh Neupane, a doctoral candidate in higher education, said the group is trying to raise $35,000, but once they reach $2,500, they can withdraw the money and disperse it. He said some of it will go to the Red Cross, but they are looking for agencies in Nepal to deliver aid swiftly.

“If we give to the Red Cross, it will take some time to reach Nepal,” Neupane said. “We are trying to find a valued organization in Nepal where we can directly wire transfer our donation for them to use immediately.”

Finding the right aid program to donate to was an important choice for the group.

Diwash Gautam, a graduate student in plant, soil and agriculture systems, there has been recent political instability and several scam websites preventing money from reaching those who need it.

He said the Red Cross is great way place to donate because some non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, may not use all the money they receive in Nepal.

“A lot of NGOs can use the money to further their own interests,” he said.

“We just want the money to be utilized for help and peace, not for war or to the fill the pocket of someone else.”

Conditions in the mountainous country are expected to worsen as landslides have occurred from subsequent aftershocks. An estimated 200 people are missing after a landslide on Tuesday hit north of the capital city of Kathmandu.

Basanta Dahal, president of the Nepalese Student Society, said small earthquakes were frequent in Nepal, but this was the largest to occur in more than 80 years.

H oliday W agner | @HolidayWagnerDE Daniel Meeks, a traveling musician called “Foots” from Champaign, plays his banjo as the storm clouds rolled in on Saturday at the intersection of East Frontage Road and North Giant City Road. “I had a house up in Illinois but vandals flooded it, so my choices were to be homeless or to go to California, and that’s where I found her [his dog, Poodle].” Meeks said he has been traveling ever since, with his dog by his side. He plans to head to Baltimore where he wants to perform a different type of sound by mixing his folk punk music with his friends’ rapping.

Concrete Canoe Team paddles to nationals sHaWn BoWen | @ShawnBowen_DE Winning a race in a boat made of concrete would seem ridiculous to many, but one group of SIU students rowed such a boat past all other regional competitors.

The Concrete Canoe Team, sponsored by the SIU chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, won its regional competition last weekend at the University of Kansas, and will move on to the national competition for the first time in the 20-year history of the team.

Sanjeev Kumar, chairman of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, said he is confident the team will do well at nationals because of its determination and hard work.

“It’s more than a six-month process to go through — getting their design ready, their materials ready — and it’s a whole team effort the day they pour the concrete,” Kumar said.

Team captain Michael Esker said the process of creating the canoe begins with deciding which type of concrete and shape would be best.

This year’s team has 18 active members, but to create the boats, the team was divided into

It’s more than a six-month process to go through — getting their design ready, their materials ready — and it’s a whole team effort the day they pour the concrete.”

- Sanjeev Kumar Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Chairman

four sub-teams so everyone can participate.

The canoe’s mold was made with help from the architecture department’s Computer Numerical Control machine. The machine can take a computer-aided design file and make precise cuts of the design out of plywood.

The boat stretches 18 feet 9 inches long and is painted black with “007” in white on the side. To continue the James Bond theme, the boat also features “Carbondale Royale” painted on the outer wall.

Esker, a senior from Teutopolis studying civil engineering, said although this year’s team deserves enormous credit for bringing home the trophy, the concrete canoe tradition is passed down from year-to-year with contributions from past members.

“Some of the guys that I had on the team last year came up with some excellent ideas that we re-used this year and were able to perfect,” he said.

The national competition will be held at Clemson University June 20 to 22.

@dailyegyptian There will be a candlelight vigil to honor the lives lost in the Nepal earthquake at 7 p.m. Thursday in front of Faner Hall.

Former treasurer’s scholarships called into question Shawn BowEn | @ShawnBowen_DE

Gov. Bruce Rauner is not the only state leader concerned with Illinois’ past financial issues.

Illinois State Treasurer Mike Frerichs said an audit found issues in the way scholarships were awarded in his office during a press conference on Tuesday at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.

After taking the position in January, Frerichs requested an independent audit of the treasurer’s office and released the parts of the results as a section of his 100-day report on Monday in Springfield.

He was originally going to release the whole audit but was convinced not to by state Attorney General Lisa Madigan, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The audit showed that almost no criteria had been in place for awarding scholarships under former Treasurer Dan Rutherford and his predecessors. He said the focus of allocating scholarships should be on need and not personal connection to

“We’re going to put the scholarship program on hold.

We’re going to standardize how people are chosen so they’re not given out based on political considerations.”

-Mike Frerichs Illinois State Treasurer

the office, which was the case under previous treasures.

“We’re going to put the scholarship program on hold,” Frerichs said.

“We’re going to standardize how people are chosen so they’re not given out based on political considerations.”

The report states the office plans to overhaul the program while it is on hold, “to ensure transparency in how the scholarships are awarded.”

Scholarship allocation was not the only the problem the audit exposed.

The treasurer’s office featured a “cloutheavy” paid internship program lacking hiring guidelines and performance monitoring, according to the report.

The report comes at an interesting time for Illinois’ finances. With potentially substantial state budget cuts on the horizon, Frerichs is concerned the already daunting task of paying for college will become even tougher.

“If the proposed cuts go through — cutting funding for higher education in the state by nearly a third — there is no doubt that tuition is going to have to rise, or quality [of education] is going to decrease precipitously,” Frerichs said.

Along with budget cuts, Frerichs said student loan debt is another problem that could await students in the future.

“It is important that students work toward their degrees, but they also have to understand the amount of debt they are taking on,” Frerichs said. “We have more student debt than credit card debt in this country.”

Frerichs said although the treasurer’s office cannot solve all students’ financial problems, his goal is to give students the tools they need to invest in themselves.

Taking a breather

E llEn B ooth | @EllenBooth_DE Walker Romans, left, a junior from Decatur studying linguistics, takes a break from working on a presentation while Alex Araya, middle, a senior from Naperville studying psychology and anthropology and Ugo Nunes, a graduate student in psychology from Brazil catch up on “Games of Thrones” during Nunes’ office hours, Monday outside of Morris Library.

NEPAL CONTINUED FROM

1

Dahal, a doctoral candidate in biochemistry, said his home of Janakpur is a flat area in eastern Nepal, which has seen no casualties. He also has family safe in Kathmandu, which was 8 miles from the epicenter of the quake.

He said many of the towns are overpopulated and are poorly constructed.

“We were always waiting for this,” he said. “Every 80 years, we have a big earthquake, and this was the 82nd year since the last one. People were already afraid

and had started making stronger homes.”

Santosh Dhakal, a graduate student in structural engineering from Nepal, said the issue of building safety is his primary concern. He said sanitation issues are a big problem with harvest season coming up.

He said diseases like malaria and cholera could become prevalent if proper bathrooms and houses are not rebuilt and repaired.

From there, buildings need to be inspected for livability.

He said buildings that are stable could be retrofitted better to the earthquake conditions.

“Everyone thinks it could just be a small crack [on the outside], but there will be heavy damage inside and nobody knows it’s there,” Dhakal said.

Neupane said it is tough to be in Carbondale while people in his home are suffering. He said a few Nepalese students plan to go back home and help after the semester ends.

They will be holding a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. Thursday at the fountain in front of Faner Hall.

Donation tables will be up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in the library and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the weekend in the Student Center.

Novel adaptation touc Jacob Pierce | @JacobPierce1_De Adapting a novel into a play brings various headaches.

Converting a book of roughly 300 pages of dialogue and history can be a nightmare.

The Marion Kleinau Theater is hosting “The Last Report on Miracles at Little No Horse,” from at 8 p.m. from April 30 to May 2. The show is adapted from a Louis Erdrich novel and directed by Elyse Pineau.

Pineau, a retired associate professor in speech communications, said adaptations are a specialty of hers. While at SIU, she has taught classes on it and most of the shows she has directed were reimagined from original material.

“To immerse yourself in a novel, either reading or seeing it on stage, is a way to invite people to encounter a world, a culture, a way of being in a very intimate way,” Pineau said.

Choosing “The Last Report on Miracles at Little No Horse” was easy for Pineau. Erdrich is one of her favorite authors and has won various awards including an American Book Award and a National Book Award, she said.

The story connects the life of Agnes Dewitt and her alternate personality Father Damien Modeste.

Dewitt has kept this persona for more than 80 years, needing it to serve a Ojibwe community. Pineau said the character is on her deathbed at more than 100 years old, and her life is flashing before her eyes.

“The novel, and all of Erdrich’s novels, are stories that tell the history and challenges of native peoples,” she said.

Andrea Baldwin, a doctoral candidate in communication studies from Avalon, Texas, co-directs the show and said her job was making scenes come to life with setting and stage direction. This particular job was a challenge, as the play takes a minimalistic approach.

Baldwin said the play spends a lot of time jumping from place to place, with a lot of the locations being immersive and quite different from each other.

The production has to portray a bank robbery and murder and this all has to be done without big costume changes or time to rearrange the set, she said.

“We use those props in multiple ways,” Baldwin said. “For example, the ladder can be a barn, the ladder can be a piano and the ladder can be a tombstone.“ Caryle Schweska, a graduate student in performance studies from Sterling, is one of two performers

who plays the bifurcated main character of Dewitt and Modeste.

She portrays the priest side of the character.

This type of performance adds depth to the entire show. It puts a secondary level to both sides of the character, she said. The duality of the role had to be worked on with both actors.

“This role lets us be both tough and afraid at the same time, and for the audience to visually see that,” Schweska said.

Ashley Beard, a doctoral candidate in communication studies from Los Angeles, said the partnering performance was accomplished through various exercises used to connect with each other.

While many involved with the play were told not to read the book beforehand, a few read it in one of Pineau’s classes. Beard fell in love with the character while reading the book, she said.

She empathized with the character, having a religious background of her own. Beard was also denied the right to be a pastor because of her gender. A lot of religions have a patriarchy system built around them, she said.

The show will be $5 to students and $7 to the public.

Games With Austin Miller

To see Austin’s top 10 anticipated games of 2015, head over to www.dailyegyptian.com

After a recent fad of simulator games, much different from “The Sims” or “Sim City,” every odd job or hobby has a usually low-budget game to pique interest. “Tea Party Simulator,” “Farming Simulator” and “Euro Truck Simulator,” are games where players can fulfill their fantasy of being a semitruck driver through the vast European Union.

Even as absurd as those games are, they are made with serious intent. However, one game is seriously absurd and it smells like a petting zoo.

Have you ever wanted to be a goat? Have you ever wanted to stare blankly into a field and chew on grass? Do you even know what goats do for fun? If so, a game has finally been made for you.

If “Goat Simulator” has taught me anything, it is that goats are a lot more

interesting than anyone could imagine. It turns out they do not just stand around in fields.

Specifically, goats can defy the laws of physics — the main fun of the game. “Goat Simulator” takes place in some God-forsaken city where goats can jump from skyscrapers and land without as much as a scrape. They just hit pavement like a bag of hammers and hop right up, with a blank stare without a care in the world.

“Goat Simulator” is

more of a joke than a game, but it is so funny you cannot put the controller down. It does not try too hard to be funny, it just is. A goat is a naturally funny animal.

We all knew they were trouble when they walked in.

Being able to run out in front a car, get hit and limply fly

a lex B ennett | d aily e gyptian

away is just hilarious. Or, players can make the goat head-butt a gas station pump, making the whole place blow up and creating a real goat-tastrophy.

There are no missions or objectives and no storyline to discover. Just a goat playing a symphony of destruction.

The men and women of Goatville just stand around and stare at goats

wreaking havoc on their city. They make snide comments, questioning the animal presence, but may then be licked and carried around by the hairs on their chinny chin chins.

Think of the fairy tale “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” Goats tell the troll not to eat them and to wait for a larger one. Instead of each goat increasing in size,

it increases in ridiculousness. It is way funnier than your crappy show, Rob Dyrdek.

“Goat Simulator” knows it has glitches and flaws, but it has centered the gameplay around it. Many games have accidentally launched while broken in the last year, but this game did it on purpose.

The goat’s tongue will extend forever and bend around like the old Windows pipes screensaver.

There are no glitches that break the game outright. Sure, a goat may get stuck in a wall or the ground every now and then, but it is just funny. It is still playable, unlike when “Halo: The Master Chief Collection” released in November. “Goat Simulator” wags a hoof at all of those issues.

Is “Goat Simulator” a game you need to rush out and spend $60 on? No, because it is only $10, and it will probably only hold your attention for a couple days.

But fringe titles like these should be rewarding when they can make something so fun out of an idea so stupid.

It is unfair to review this game similar to a major release.

The money spent to make a “Call of Duty” or “Grand Theft Auto” forces a fire to be held to them. But when a small studio is able to put together a hit with limited resources, they should be complimented.

Saluki senior ready to start new baseball career ThOmas dOnley | @tdonley_DE SIU senior outfielder Parker Osborne’s college playing days are coming to a close, but this summer he will embark upon the next chapter of his baseball career.

Osborne will spend the summer as a bench coach for the Walla Walla Sweets, a collegiate summer team in Washington state for which he hit .254 with 4 home runs and 29 RBIs last summer.

Osborne said his previous experience with the Sweets made his return an easy choice.

“I love that place,” Osborne said. “I know a lot of people, the management, the front office and everyone there, so it just ended up working out perfectly.”

The city of Walla Walla and Borleske Stadium will be familiar sights for Osborne, but not the only ones.

Three of Osborne’s Saluki teammates: sophomore second baseman Connor Kopach, sophomore center fielder Dyllin Mucha and freshman pitcher Michael Baird will suit up for the 2015 Sweets.

Osborne helped Sweets Chief Operating Officer Zachary Fraser get in touch with Saluki assistant coach Ryan Strain to set those three up in Walla Walla before he decided to return.

Baird’s eyes lit up when asked about the prospects of playing for his current teammate.

“I’m totally looking forward to it,” Baird said. “I’ve gotten to know Parker pretty well this year. He’s been a real good role model to me.”

Osborne turned down a similar position with the Front Royal (Va.) Cardinals, where SIU freshmen third baseman Greg Lambert, catcher Nick Hutchins and center fielder Braden Mosley are slated to play. Walla Walla offered Osborne more money to man the bench in Florida.

Sweets manager Frank Mutz, who

a idan O sbOrne | @AidanOsborne_DE Senior outfielder Parker Osborne, right, rehearses for his role as a coach for the Walla Walla Sweets this summer on Monday during a portrait session in the Saluki dugout at “Itchy” Jones Stadium. Michael Baird, center, a freshman pitcher, and Connor Kopach, left, a sophomore infielder, will be playing for the Walla Walla Sweets this summer, along with Dyllin Mucha, not pictured, a sophomore outfielder. Though all four are currently teammates at SIU, Osborne will step up to the role of coach during the collegiate summer season. The Walla Walla Sweets are part of the West Coast League.

will be in his first season with the team, said a main factor in bringing Osborne back to Walla Walla was Osborne’s popularity.

“If you allow the community to embrace you, you will have more people on your side in the community,” Mutz said. “When you come to bat, the fans will make more noise for you. I believe Parker has done that.”

Mutz said he hoped having three former teammates on the roster would

help Osborne into a coaching role. ““That would be a good thing,” he said. “The challenge will be separating himself as a player and a coach. If there comes a time when things aren’t going well, he’ll need to tell them things need to change.”

SIU coach Ken Henderson said he would have brought Osborne back as an assistant coach next spring if Osborne had another year of school to finish.

“I didn’t realize he was supposed to

Dawgs tie for best finish in program history aarOn graff | @Aarongraff_DE Coach Justin Fetcho’s team tied for its best finish ever in his first season.

SIU men’s golf tied for second place with Northern Iowa at 901 and 37-over par, out of nine teams at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, at The Club at Porto Cima in Sunrise Beach, Mo. The Dawgs were in fifth place after the first two rounds on Monday at 28-over par. They had the second-best

round Tuesday, which was 10 strokes better than UNI, to surpass Bradley and Evansville on the leaderboard.

“We had the first tee-time of the day,” Fetcho said. “I thought it was a good draw for us if we got off to a good start and apply a little pressure to the other teams.”

Wichita State won the tournament for the eighth consecutive year at 864 and even par. Evansville and Bradley tied for fourth, two strokes behind Southern Illinois and Northern Iowa.

h Oliday W agner | @HolidayWagnerDE Drew Novara, a junior from Murphysboro, chips a golf ball during practice on Thursday at the Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Carbondale. The men’s golf team competed in the MVC Championship on Monday and Tuesday in Sunrise Beach, Mo. “We’re going with the mindset that we’re going to win,” coach Justin Fetcho said.

“[Wicihita has] kind of been head and shoulders above the rest of the conference for the last few years,” Fetcho said. “We didn’t try and let them affect us. We tried to stay within our game. To win the conference and to win by that much just goes to show how good of a program and how good of a team and season they had this year.”

Senior Wade Thompson led the Salukis at 4-over par, tying for fifth place. It was the highest finish by an SIU golfer since Patrick Sheil placed also fifth in 2010.

Thompson shot 78, 70 and 72 in his three rounds.

“I really wanted to win, but I’ll take a top-5 finish any day,” Thompson said.

Junior Drew Novara followed at 11-over par, tying for 19th. Senior Andrew Mitchell tied for 21st at 12over. Senior Steve Souchek tied for 31st at 21-over. Senior Brady Brown tied for 26th at 15-over.

Souchek shot a 33, 3-under par, in the last nine holes. Novara credited his teammates for the comeback. He was not happy with his final round.

Novara shot 76, 73 and 78 in his three rounds respectively.

graduate this summer,” Henderson said.

“I would love to have him as a student assistant.”

Mutz said while he is looking forward to having Osborne on his coaching staff, he would be more than happy for Osborne if he left the Sweets for an opportunity in the minor leagues.

Osborne is SIU’s leading hitter at .324 and is second on the team with 19 RBIs, as of 1 p.m. Tuesday. The Salukis’ hottest hitter, he is batting

.408 in his last 18 games and has raised his average from .156.

He said he would forego the opportunity if he got drafted, but said there is no chance of that happening.

In addition to learning how to coach players, Osborne will be learning the ins and outs of the front office operations in Walla Walla. He said he sees himself making a career out of coaching baseball.

“It’s basically an internship,” Osborne said. “I’m using it as my starting point.”

last year, so that is a good thing.”

Jumps coach Andre Scott said Landon can become more steady by improving on form, running approaches and the technique over the bar. He said Landon is hitting his technique correctly nearly every time over the bar this year.

Scott said he has had to change Landon’s approach because of his increased strength in the weight room. He said Landon needs to stay determined in the competition. “[Landon] gets over a couple bars and is like ‘Oh, I’m good,’ and just relaxes,” he said. “That’s when his form breaks down.”

Scott said Landon has missed 2.24 meters multiple times this year, which would be an inch-and-a-half improvement on his outdoor personal record. He said the hardest part will be qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championship.

“Once you get to that meet, anything can happen,” he said. “Once you’ve done that, just go for broke.”

All-American dismayed with performance

Becoming an All-American should be a substantial accolade, but is was dissatisfying for the No. 8 high jumper in the nation.

Sophomore jumper Kyle Landon finished tied for seventh at the NCAA Indoor Championships last month.

“I was unsatisfied,” he said. “Everyone has their downfalls but I’m ready to pick it back up this outdoor season.”

Coach Connie Price-Smith said Landon should be happy with being an All-American but likes that he wanted more.

“If you’re satisfied and pleased, you don’t have anything to strive for,” she said. “He wanted to finish a lot higher and he could have finished a lot higher.”

Landon tied his outdoor high jump record of 2.20 meters, which is No. 5 all-time outdoors at SIU, on April 11.

Last year, 2.20 meters tied Landon for third at the national meet.

Landon said he still has a lot to improve on.

“I’m hit and miss most times,” he said. “I’m more consistent than I was
