Local women create ALS gathering

RSO promotes women’s wellness Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

If you are a Saluki woman looking for the secrets to success, seek no further. The Women Excelling in Leadership and Learning Registered Student Organization will hold its first workshop of the semester at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Center Delta Room. The theme, “Success for the College Woman”, will include presentations by women in leadership positions at the university. While more than 90 percent of

secretarial positions have been held by women, a majority of faculty and administrative positions, including executive and managerial, have been held by men for the past 13 years, according to the university factbook. Melinda Yeomans, faculty advisor for the WELL RSO, said the mission of the organization is to help women become independent, well-rounded leaders. “We want the best particularly for women on this campus in terms of knowing who they are and knowing what they deserve,” Yeomans said. “And just

knowing that their potential is unlimited and their value is priceless.” Megan Peterson, a junior from Normal studying psychology and physiology, president of the RSO, said the Women’s Resource Center helped her make friends after having trouble her first two years at the university. “Having other people that are in the same situation as me really helped to bring me out as a person and want to step up,” she said. “The most important part is gaining allies with other women.”

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has gained notoriety with the recent viral trend, the “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge”, and two local women have created a group for families dealing with the disease. Deb Geiger, of Murphysboro, and Nikki Morgan, of Herrin, started an ALS social gathering in June for the southern Illinois community to provide support for group members. The group also shares stories with one another about the ailment. “When a disease like ALS happens, you don’t really know what it is,” said Geiger, whose sister-in-law, Rebecca Clifford, was diagnosed with the illness in 2009. “You feel so alone, so we wanted to bring people together.” The group consists of 17 members including people with ALS, their families and community members who have lost relatives to the sickness. Members come from different parts of southern Illinois, such as Sesser, Pittsburg, Herrin and Du Quoin. “We wanted to be able to share things that can help make people’s lives a little bit easier,” Morgan said. She said she took part in the challenge in honor of her father-in-law, Don Morgan, who was diagnosed with ALS in August 2013. The ALS Association defines the disorder as a “progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.” The deterioration of neurons leads to muscle atrophy and paralysis, then death, according to the association. Its website states ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects 30,000 people in the United States. Please see ALS · 02

J amie e ader d aily e gyptian Melinda Yeoman, coordinator for the Women’s Resource Center, laughs with members of the new Registered Student Organization, Women Excelling in Leadership and Learning, Tuesday at the Center for Inclusive Excellence at the Student Center. Yeoman is the faculty advisor for the RSO and has worked with students to help launch WELL this semester including vice president Savannah McCord, a senior from St. Louis studying business and psychology. “There are a lot of resources on campus for women to socially connect,” McCord said. “But there are not a lot of avenues for women to connect on a deeper level.”

Andrea Baldwin, a graduate assistant for the resource center, said the RSO will also present an open discussion panel about the popular Netflix series “Orange Is The New Black” in October. She said the panel will focus on analyzing the female centric issues in the show, and was inspired by “OITNB” actress and LGBTQ advocate Laverne Cox’s lecture at SIU-Edwardsville on Oct. 22.

“One of the great things that I think OITNB does is it brings up lots of issues for women in terms of gender, sexuality, aging and disability all in a confined space,” she said. Baldwin said she is working on acquiring a charter bus for students to attend the event. She said students interested in attending should contact the Center for Inclusive Excellence once promotion begins.

WELL Wednesdays will continue once a week at the same time and place until Thanksgiving break. Future themes will range from resume writing, sexual health and financial advice. A free yoga class will precede each workshop at 4:30 p.m. Marissa Novel can be reached at mnovel@dailyegyptian.com

Campaigns for student trustee re-election begin The SIU Board of Trustees student trustee re-election takes place Sept. 3 and 4 on Desire2Learn. Election results will be announced at the Student Center’s Illinois Room immediately after voting closes at 5 p.m. Adrian Miller won the original election in April against opponent Kane Hudson, a then-freshman from Peoria studying engineering. Re-elections are being held because of a reported internal error with the original voting. A debate between candidates will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Student Services Building in Room 150. The elected candidate will take his seat for the first time at the board’s Sept. 10 and 11 meetings in Edwardsville. Brent Meske

Adrian Miller, a senior from Carbondale studying political science, returns to the ballot seeking re-election for the student trustee seat on the SIU Board of Trustees. Miller has served on the Illinois Board of Higher Education and president of the Undergraduate Student A driAn m iller Government. “I’ve taken my passion to serve to everything I’ve been involved in,” Miller said. “I believe that I have the experience to advocate and see that results get done. I truly care about students’ concerns.” If elected, Miller said he would focus on working with USG, Graduate and Professional Student Council to urge the administration to change the hours a student can work in a week from 20 to 25.

Jim Tobin, a senior from Farmer City studying agriculture systems and political science, is running for the student trustee seat on the SIU Board of Trustees. “It’s a great time to be a Saluki and it’s a great time to have an active voice on campus,” he said. Tobin said attending SIU J im t obin was not his original plan. After serving as an officer for the Future Farmer’s of America his senior year of high school, the university awarded him the Chancellor’s Scholarship. Tobin said he is excited to work with the new administration. “I think there’s big changes on the rise and I’d love to be a part of it,” he said. “I’ve got the background, the experience and the outside perspective to help make the decisions that are best for students.”

Christopher Wheetley, a senior from Murphysboro studying political science and paralegal studies is running for the open student trustee seat on the SIU Board of Trustees. Wheetley said in an email that he is running because he believes his experience, knowledge and commitment to his peers make him a prime C hristopher W heetley candidate. He said he wants to provide his peers with more choices for the board. “Two years ago, I watched as the position for president of the Undergraduate Student Government was filled by default because there was only one candidate,” Wheetley said. “Similarly, the Spring 2014 election for Student Trustee seemed to lack a competitive field of candidates to effectively give the student body enough choices.”

ALS CONTINUED FROM

Gehrig was a first baseman for the New York Yankees, who was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame and retired prematurely because of complications from the condition. Geiger, a co-founder of the local group, said her sister-in-law experienced symptoms in 2007 when she started tripping more than usual. The disease then spread up her legs and into her spinal cord. Clifford is now almost

RECRUITING CONTINUED FROM

Anderson said she puts a lot of effort into recruiting American players and tries to maintain a balance on the team. She said recruiting a majority of her players does not usually involved face-to-face meetings, as opposed to other sports. “When I recruit, I don’t really go to other nations,” Anderson said. “I do most of my recruiting through YouTube, emails and working with recruiting companies.” Moccia said he is asked to meet with potential student-athletes when they visit campus, but that happens

completely paralyzed, although she can still breathe, swallow and move her hands. “It’s a very difficult disease to deal with,” Geiger said. “There is a lot of emotional and physical support needed to deal with it.” Since the challenge began on July 29, the ALS Association has received more than $79 million in donations, according to the association’s website. The organization raised $2.5 million this time last year. Social media has affected donations greatly. The hashtag

#ALSicebucketchallenge has been posted on Instagram more than 2 million times. The ALS Association’s website states 1.7 million more people have donated to the cause compared to last year. The southern Illinois group has met twice and will continue to gather every other month. Their next meeting will be at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 at John A. Logan College and a charity walk is planned for Oct. 11 at John A. Logan, which raised about $5,000 last year.

more often in sports like football, volleyball or basketball. “I will talk to any recruit that the coaches want me to,” he said. “I talk to all the football recruits because we do that in a big group. Due to the distance of our international students, they rarely come over for a visit but with Skype and other technology there’s a lot of ways to communicate.” Moccia said no matter how they get here, most student-athletes have the shared love of sports and desire for a quality education. Anderson said this meshes well with SIU’s goal to get athletes who can perform well on the court and in the classroom.

She said the high number of international students is a case of independent interests reaching a common goal. Student-athletes get to continue playing while getting an education and the coaches get hardworking student-athletes eager to play Division I athletics. “We are just looking for students who are going to fit into the program and work hard,” Anderson said. “We don’t care where they’re from the local area, other states, other countries; we want to get quality students-athletes.”

“That is the worst thing in the world,” he said. “The students we have here at SIU struggle to pay their bills. They struggle to pay the high cost of tuition and fees, and the last thing we should do as a university is take away the hours that they get.” Miller plans to work with the board to fix the campus’ parking problems, as well as make all students feel welcomed at the university. “It’s time to make sure that every student who attends here is treated as an equal student,” he said.

Ice bucket challenge should be in hot water Branda Mitchell Daily Egyptian

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells and causes paralysis before ultimately killing the individual with it, but you probably didn’t know that. ALS is gaining national attention with the social media campaign called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This campaign consists of someone taking a bucket of ice, dumping it on his or her head and nominating a few friends to continue the trend, or they have to donate money to the ALS Association. And it is working: As of Aug. 25, the association has received $79 million in less than a month. Bringing awareness to a serious illness is inarguably a good thing. Yet, this campaign has brought up multiple issues with our culture and the way we justify our actions to have a clean conscience. One of the problems with this campaign is how it has become a narcissistic means of conforming for people to feel good about themselves. People take a serious illness that others suffer from, make it into a comedic means of

entertainment and then feel as if they have actually helped a cause. This relatively new concept of “slacktivism” makes people think once they’ve posted to social media, they have done their part to bring attention to a disease. But all it does is bring attention. Some would say even just talking about it is enough, but what difference does it make if no one understands the disease? Although the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has raised millions of dollars for the ALS association, funneling tons of money into any organization has disadvantages. According to the ALS Association website, only 19 percent of funds for the organization go to patient and community services. In 2013, more than $6 million was used to fund research grants. The ALS Association’s tax form filed with the IRS in 2012 stated $5,138,716 was spent on salaries, including more than $300,000 for the president alone. The 10 highest paid employees individually make more than $100,000 each, with some making significantly more. If current donations were spent this way,

only $15,181,000 of the nearly $80 million would go to actual patient resources. While organizations have to pay people in order to function, there is no need to pay multiple employees hundreds of thousands of dollars when there is a lack of funding in other areas. Presented with information about where money is going and the social media craze, people appear to be okay with the idea that at least something is happening for a cause, when so much more can be done. Rather than justifying it by thinking more money is being raised than before, people need to advocate for those who cannot do it for themselves. Individuals are doing the ALS Ice Bucket challenge, but that’s all they’re doing. It is not acceptable to sit back and be okay with money and resources going anywhere except to those who suffer and their families. To actually make a change, activism needs to entail much more than blindly donating money and a bucket of ice water. Branda Mitchell can be reached at bmitchell@dailyegyptian.com

‘When the Game Stands Tall’ falls short Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptian

Sports films have a long and inconsistent history. For the most part, sports films have an extensive line of successes. Consider “Raging Bull”, “Caddyshack” and “Friday Night Lights.” At best, sports films can bring out some of the best character dramas film has to offer. At its worst, the sports genre can sometimes feel generic. For every “Raging Bull”, there is a “Rocky V.” For every “Caddyshack”, there is a “Caddyshack 2.” And for every “Friday Night Lights”, there is a “When the Game Stands Tall.” “When the Game Stands Tall” (Rated PG; 115 min.) is a sports drama directed by Thomas Carter (“Coach Carter,” “Save The Last Dance”) and stars Jim Caviezel, Michael Chiklis, Laura Dern, and Alexander Ludwig. When De La Salle High School loses for the first time in 151 games, right after coach Bob Ladouceur has a heart at-

tack and loses a former member of the team to a gang shooting, the team is in shambles. The team must figure out how to continue on with its season while also remembering what high school football is all about. At first, this film looked promising. While the trailer showed a lot of clichés associated with sports movies, it also showed potential. It seemed as though the film was going to be more focused on its characters than the game itself. The best sports movies are more of character studies than sports highlights. While “When the Game Stands Tall” attempts to do this, it never actually does it well. The characters given to us are boring and resemble cliché characters of past football movies. Clichés are not bad starting points. There is a reason they become clichés, but problems arise when it feels like nothing more than a movie following a script. Coach Ladouceur, played by Caviezel, is a speech-giving, straight-faced, family-ignoring coach, typical of most sports movies. Even when he is given a hard edge, smoking being what caused his heart attack, the

Hogging the spotlight

film never goes far enough. Chris Ryan (Ludwig), the star running back who is only a few touchdowns away from breaking the record, is really playing for his father, not himself. But all of that is verbalized by Ryan or other characters. It is never clear if he actually feels this way. One extremely depressing thing about this film is misuse of acting talent. Sometimes great actors can grab the terrible source material and run with it in a way that elevates a film. This time it is unclear whether the script and directing are just so bad that the actors have absolutely nothing to work with. They seem to be just as generic as the movie itself. Chiklis and Dern are two actors who are known for their great nothing. So then comes the question, should you see this movie? Do you have a Netflix account? It is a better idea to just go on there and watch the entire “Friday Night Lights” series. It will not only fill your sports drama need, but it will fill it cheaper and better than this film ever will.

Dirty Loops keeps jazz fusion alive Chase Myers Daily Egyptian

Sometimes radio play can wear out a song, so when a band comes along, takes an already popular song and re-works it, it can be refreshing. Since 2008, Swedish jazz-fusion trio Dirty Loops has been enlightening the music world with its unorthodox arrangements and precise musicianship. The band is made up of keyboard/vocalist Jonah Nilsson, bassist Henrik Linder and drummer Aaron Mellergardh, all of whom studied classical and jazz music in Stockholm. Known prior to its debut primarily for covering popular songs, the trio takes a stab at some original material with the Aug. 19 reThe album was co-produced by Andreas Carlsson (Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry) and David Foster. band released through YouTube called “Hit Me,” which shows the upbeat side of the band and gauges the band’s skill level.

shift in key. The re-interpretation includes a symphonic sound, which replaces the original’s bass drops and dance beats. The outro contains a key-changed version of the chorus, which catches the listener off guard. The band likes to switch up its sound at different times to incorporate a new feel to an already electronic-heavy sound. In songs like “Accidentally in Love,” you can hear a harmonica part that sounds oddly appropriate for the club jam. One of the aspects of a good album is the ability for a band to go from an upbeat jam to the complete opposite, keeping the listener on their toes. Dirty Loops shifts its sound and mood in the song “Crash and Burn Delight,” which sounds like a slow R&B love song from a ‘90s boy band, in the best possible way. If this song was made into a music video, you could expect lots of dramatic lighting, fog and cheesy hand movements. At the end of the deluxe version of the album, the band includes some of the covers it is recognized for, such as Justin Bieber’s “Roller Coaster” and “Baby,” Britney Spear’s “Circus” and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” all of which are a refreshing break from its repetitive originals. Overall, the album is impressive both musically and lyrically. Other than some over embellished thing to dislike on this album. Even if a listener isn’t familiar with the style of jazz-fusion, it is easy to appreciate the musicianship and production of the record.

Former Rambler coaches Salukis Aaron Graff Daily Egyptian

One SIU assistant volleyball coach has roots with two other Missouri Valley Conference schools, but wants to remain a Saluki. Dean Torgerson graduated from Loyola University, where he was a setter for one season and coached both the men and women’s club teams. He played and coached the intramural men’s team to a second place finish in the D-1AA National Championship Tournament in 2008. He said he ran the program for three years, which made him really get involved with coaching. He coached two years at the North Shore Assault Volleyball Club in Evanston before landing a graduate assistant position as a coach at Arkansas State University with coach Justin Ingram. Ingram said when he was looking, he called as many qualified applicants as he could. He said it helped that Torgerson was from Racine, Wis., because that part of the country develops hard workers. “It’s a very blue-collar place,” Ingram said. “He’s a son of a volleyball coach. He lives and breathes volleyball.” Torgerson earned his master’s degree from Arkansas State after Ingram came to SIU. Torgerson was an assistant coach with the University of Evansville before reuniting with Ingram before last season. “I think I’m a younger kind of version of [Ingram],” Torgerson said.

“I know some of the things he knew at that time and he does a wonderful job trying to teach me about things he learned along the years.” Torgerson said it’s friendly rivalry between his former schools, and he is happy to see the players’ growth when Salukis play them. Ingram said Torgerson’s youth is valuable to the team because the other coaches are more distant in age with the players. “You never want to hire people that are identical than you,” Ingram said. “I think there are some similarities in our approach. He’s far more analytical and way smarter than I am. This guy can read a book and build a spaceship. I think he’s that smart.” His youth has also been valuable in practice, where Torgerson steps in for reps occasionally. The team has only two setters, sophomores Hannah Kaminsky and Meg Viggars. Viggars is also a hitter, so sometimes both setters are on one side of the court. “When both of them are on the one side, I set the other side,” Torgerson said. “Just a mere lack of numbers. We don’t have a third setter to go in, so I go in and play because it’s easier than having someone who doesn’t set try to step in and set.” Both Kaminsky and Viggars were named to the MVC All-Conference freshmen team, and Kaminsky is the reigning MVC Freshman of the Year. “Coming from high school to college, it’s a big transition,” Kaminsky said. “From everything,

from going to classes, to everyone you meet, to starting with a college team. I feel like [Torgerson] really helped with that transition right away.” Kaminsky said Torgerson understands the setter position, so she gets most of her positional coaching from him. Ingram said Torgerson has a great ability to connect with the players, and has potential with his coaching career. “There is no money in it,” Ingram said. “Not for most people, up until

SIU expands borders for students athletes Tyler Davis Daily Egyptian

When sophomore Polina Dozortseva decided to travel halfway across the globe from Moscow to attend a school she had never seen, she felt a bit nervous and alone. She was not the only Saluki making an international transition. Dozortseva is just one of 55 student-athletes to leave their home country for SIU, according to Matt Vincent, assistant athletic director for compliance. With 16 different varsity teams, that is an average of three foreign students per team, one of the highest percentages of any Missouri Valley Conference school. MVC rival Western Illinois University, has eight international student athletes on its 18 teams. Athletic Director Mario Moccia said SIU’s resources and willingness to work with foreign students makes the school appealing to those looking to study abroad and compete athletically. “SIU has always been known for our international student department on campus,” Moccia said. “Also we have allowed our coaches to go out and find the best student athletes whether they are local students or international.” SIU’s recruiting effort is especially apparent in tennis. Tennis, which is usually dominated at the professional level by non-American players, has a strong international presence at the collegiate level. In the MVC, foreign players filled last year’s All-Conference men’s team with all members coming from European countries, including SIU junior Jonny Rigby. On the women’s side, five

of the six members of the All-Conference singles team were international students. Audra Anderson, the 10th-year tennis coach for the women, said the reason for the influx of foreign players could be attributed to more interest in tennis in other countries, as well as the opportunity American universities provide with athletic scholarships. “A lot of times soccer is going to be the No. 1, most popular sport in other countries and tennis is going to be No. 2 or No. 3,” Anderson said. “In America it’s going to be more like the No. 6 most popular. Also, we have a unique situation where our universities have athletics. There might be a few countries that do that, but in general, the universities overseas do not give the opportunity for someone to play athletics and to be a student at the same time.” Dozortseva said education was one of the main reasons for her to travel 5,300 miles to Carbondale. “I always wanted to go to college and continue my education but I wanted to play tennis too,” she said. “I was recruited by other schools in America but I liked SIU’s education and Coach Anderson really wanted me to come here.” Dozortseva joined one of the most diverse teams on campus. The team features two American players, sophomores Meagan Monaghan, of Denver, and Lauren Hoekstra, of Effingham. Players for the women’s tennis team come from Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Brazil and England. Please see RECRUITING · 02

you get to leading an incredible team into the finals of the NCAA or whatever. But you need people that enjoy coaching and enjoy sport and enjoy mentoring, because that’s where the reward is.” Torgerson said he would like to be a collegiate head coach some day, but he wants to stay for now. “I’m just kind of taking it one day and one year at a time,” Torgerson said. “I’m blessed to be here for a second year and I hope I’m here for many years to come.” Ingram said coaching staffs like

this are special because of the ability to identify talent and recruit. He said he hopes the coaching staff sticks together for as long as possible. “You always want to work with people that you trust,” Ingram said. “[Torgerson’s] one guy on my staff right now that I would give him the world and I would trust him with it.

Saluki senior returns as coach Thomas Donley Daily Egyptian

This summer the SIU men’s tennis coaching staff experienced addition by subtraction from its roster. Rafael Cuadrillero’s 6-2, 6-2 loss to Wichita State University in the Missouri Valley Conference Championship semifinals on April 26 ended his career as a college tennis player, but it did not mark the end of his time with the Saluki tennis team. Cuadrillero’s NCAA eligibility expired after last spring, but he still had classes to complete for his civil engineering degree, so head coach Dann Nelson brought him back to roam the sidelines of University Courts as a student assistant for the 2014-2015 season. Because the Salukis return only three players from last year, it was important for Nelson to keep as many experienced minds around the team as he could to ease any growing pains for new players. Cuadrillero played for the Salukis for four years and will use his experience to help guide this year’s young roster. He said he hopes to teach the younger players on the roster not only how to take advantage of opponents on the court, but also how to properly manage their time as college athletes. “We have six freshmen, so it’s imperative for us to have as many people as possible for those guys to go to if they have a question about something,” Nelson said. Cuadrillero’s quick transition from player to coach means he now coaches players who were his teammates just a few months ago. Senior Szymon Opieczonek, junior Jonny Rigby and sophomore Michal Kianicka have all played alongside Cuadrillero as

Salukis, and will now take instruction from him. Because Cuadrillero, affectionately known as “Rafa,” has been part of the team his former teammates said it will not be difficult to adjust to having a former teammate on the sideline. “He’s one of my best friends and my roommate as well,” Opiezconek said. “I see him every day, and we still practice together. He’s one of us.” Cuadrillero, who was the only senior for the 2013-2014 Salukis, brings intelligence to the coaching staff along with his playing experience. He was named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete team three times, twice making the first team. He was also named to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Scholar-Athlete Team in 2013. Once the dual-match season starts in the spring, SIU play at least three freshmen in every match. Cuadrillero said he hopes to help the Salukis improve upon their semifinal exit in the MVC tournament last spring. SIU fell to Wichita State to end the spring with a record of 10-11. “I probably know most of the players they’ll play against,” Cuadrillero said. “So I’ll be helpful with that.” A native of Madrid, Spain, Cuadrillero totaled 22 singles wins in his Saluki career, including a career-high seven in his senior year. He said he has been impressed with the crop of freshmen Nelson recruited for the 2014-2015 season. “We haven’t gotten the chance to compete much because we’re in the offseason,” Cuadrillero said. “But just by being with them I know they’re a great group.”
