Resource centers search for coordinators

20-hour cap to change during breaks Luke Nozicka Daily Egyptian

Students will be able to work on-campus jobs for more than 20 hours a week during intercessions and summers after the fall semester. Susan Ford, interim provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, said administration will hopefully decide how many hours students will be able to work during these times by the end of the semester.

She said the 20-hour cap policy remains for fall and spring semesters. “How high can students go in terms of the hours they work? Do they need to be registered or not registered?” Ford said. “We’re trying to sort all that out … by the end of the fall so that as we move into spring semester, students know by January what the policy is going to be for the summer.” Ford said determining the amount of hours students can work on campus during

intercessions and summer semesters will be discussed with deans and financial officers in the next several months. “Having students work more than 20 hours a week in a regular academic semester is considered poor academic practice all across the country,” Ford said. “It is best practices to encourage them to work at a level that fits allowing them to also be a full-time student.” For more information on the 20-hour work cap, see page 2

Four resource centers in the Office of the Dean of Students are looking to fill vacant coordinator positions. The positions are open in the Office of Student Involvement, Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Hispanic and Latino Resource Center and the LGBTQ Resource Center. Andy Morgan, acting associate dean of students, said a search committee will meet Thursday to review applications for the open Student Involvement coordinator position, who will work with Registered Student Organizations and organize conferences. He said his goal is to bring three finalists to campus for interviews, which could take nearly two weeks. Morgan said Benjamin Chamness is serving as acting coordinator of Student Involvement until a permanent one is hired. He said Chamness has worked 20 hours each week as extra help since June. “The search committee reviews all the applicants and makes a recommendation on who to invite to campus for interviews,” Morgan said. “From there it goes up the chain of command to the dean of students, provost and affirmative action office. Then it comes back to me and we invite candidates.” Morgan said he took the position as Undergraduate Student Government adviser when Bethany Wendler, former coordinator of student involvement, left in May. He said Katherine Sermersheim, interim dean of students, changed the title of the adviser for USG and Graduate and Professional Student Council from coordinator of student involvement to associate dean of students. “[Wendler] took an opportunity at a different university for career advancement,” Cameron Shulak, USG president said. The Office of the Dean of Students is also looking to hire a fraternity and sorority life coordinator for one year, who will advise the Inter-Greek Council and its four sub-councils. Both current employees and people who do not work at the university have applied for the student involvement and fraternity and sorority life coordinator positions. Nathan Stephens, director of the Center for Inclusive Excellence, said the Hispanic and Latino Resource Center is reviewing three applicants, none of whom have worked at the university. He said the LGBTQ Resource Center is going through the administrative process to get advertisements placed about the vacant position. Morgan said both positions help mentor students and lead programming for heritage months. Stephens said staff members have stepped up while the offices look for applicants to fill the positions. “We have graduate assistants doing some of the day-to-day work,” he said. “Myself and my assistant director are having an active role in the leadership of those resource centers.” Brent Meske can be reached at bmeske@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @brentmeskeDE.

International student enrollment spikes Taylor Vogel Daily Egyptian

SIU has the largest number of new international students this semester since 1985. Carla Coppi, director of the Center for International Education, said the 515 new international arrivals include both undergraduate and graduate students. She said many of these students are transfers who completed some college in their home countries. This semester’s new international students include 156 Brazilians, 86 Indians, 63 Chinese, 60 Saudi Arabians and 16 Taiwanese. “Even if you take Brazil out of the mix, we still have 40 over last year’s high water mark,” Coppi said. “We’ve always had a very robust international student population.” Coppi said 347 new international students were enrolled in fall 2013, which at the time was the highest number since 1991. She said one of the reasons for the upsurge in Brazilian students is because the Brazilian government decided to sponsor students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics. While some of these students are financially supported through their governments and other programs, Coppi said most of them are paying for their education. She said international students usually do not become eligible for in-state tuition and end up paying a higher price for education.

Yonus Entezar, a graduate student from Afghanistan studying media, said he learned a great deal from the university. He said he learned a lot while at school and is excited about the rise in international students. “The more you involve international students, the more it gives us different points of view,” Entezar said. Haitao Zeng, a graduate student from China studying media and media management, said he came to the U.S. to improve his English. Zeng said in China everyone takes the same classes so

he enjoys how people can focus on one area of study at the university. “There is more freedom for us to think about what is good for us,” he said. Zeng said he would easily be able to find a job in China because of his education at the university and work experience in the U.S. “If I get experience here, it’s good for me to go back to China,” Zeng said.

20-hour cap drives student jobs off campus Gabriella Scibetta Daily Egyptian

Many students who have an oncampus job are seeking a second job off-campus to make ends meet. Students now are able to work only 20 hours a week because of the new policy implemented May 11. Many said the 20 hour cap isn’t giving students enough money to cover expenses. Students were able to work nearly 30 hours every week before the policy was introduced. Kevin Bame, vice chancellor of administration and finance, said the University of Illinois Chicago,

Chicago State University, Western Illinois University and Loyola University also limit student employees to 20-hour work weeks. Part-time civil service employees at the university are limited to 900 hours within a 12-month period, Bame said. Taylor Serrata, a junior from Kankakee studying criminal justice, said she began working at Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches because she wasn’t making enough money to pay her rent. Her on-campus job is working as a New Student Programs orientation leader.

Bame said the policy only affects 20 percent of the students who work on campus because 80 percent of students worked less than 20 hours a week already. Thomas Becker, a junior from McLeansboro studying marketing and business economics, said the cap presents good and bad effects on students. The Affordable Care Act enforced the health care law in 2010, which required the school to insure fulltime employees. The law states the school will be fined $2,000 every time an employee works more than 30 hours a week.

Brenda Escutia, a senior studying social work, said the work cap has hindered her ability to complete academic work for her field of study. “This year I was planning on getting another job,” Escutia said. “But since the cap is at 20 hours, I am not able to get paid for my undergraduate research that I wanted to do this semester ... Now students are limited ... where they might not make enough money to pay their bills.” Bame said the cap was passed in the best interest of students. “[It can be] difficult to work

full time and maintain a good GPA,” he said. “[We] value student employees and they significantly contribute to the mission of the university.” Four student employees who were approached to give their opinions regarding the 20-hour cap declined to comment and three wished to remain anonymous in fear of losing their jobs.

Annual music festival, back and ready to rock Kyle Sutton Daily Egyptain

A hard rock band by the name of AC/DC once said these famous words. “For those about to rock, we salute you,” words quite fitting for the weekend that lies ahead. The fourth annual Carbondale Rocks Revival Music Festival is back this weekend. The festival will run Thursday through Saturday at various locations in Carbondale. The festival is organized by the Carbondale Music Coalition, which showcases local music by partnering with artists, venues, businesses and people in the community. CMC president Curtis Conley said last year was a huge success, and he expects the trend to continue. “The third CRR blew away our expectations with most of the venues seeing max capacity crowds all weekend minus one or two disappointments,” he said. Conley said as the years pass by, the CMC has focused on quality over quantity. “If we book a show, we want it packed,” he said. “This year’s lineup is a huge step up for the CMC and early signs point to being the best one yet.” This year’s festival will play host

to more than 30 musical acts spread across seven venues. Participating venues for this year include PK’s, The Grotto, Hangar 9, Fat Patties, The Cellar, Varsity Theater and Tres Hombres. The festival will feature both local and national acts. Headliners this year include Lucero, Dex RomWeber, Nikki Hill, Amanda Shires, Charlie Parr, Tommy Womack and many more. The first CRR festival was held in 2011. Co-founders, Conley and Matt Loungeville, created the festival with the mindset of holding a major music event to replace the Main Street Pig Out, an outdoor event no longer running.

“Instead of putting the event outside we wanted to do an event that supported local businesses directly by putting the shows in the venues,” Conley said. In February 2013, Conley, Dan Goett and John Huck founded the CMC. Conley said the first priority on the agenda was to make the CRR festival the marquee event of each year. The Buddy Rodgers Quartet will open the festival at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at The Grotto.

SIU men’s tennis reloads with youth Thomas Donley Daily Egyptian

The SIU men’s tennis team is going with a youth movement this fall. Saluki coach Dann Nelson said with only three returning players from 2013 to 2014 he would need to recruit plenty of freshmen to fill his roster. He brought in six newcomers to fill out the lineup, and also provide insurance off the bench. Nelson recruited Daniel Martinez of Enid, Okla., Max Phipps of West Midland, England and Peter Molloy of Brighton, England. The trio signed with the Salukis in April, but Nelson was not finished recruiting. Over the summer, SIU signed Ransom Braaten of Chicago, Alex Pozo of St. Louis and Aidan Saggers of Cape Town, South Africa. “All these guys will contribute,” Nelson said. “I’m very happy with what we’ve got coming in.” Braaten was ranked No. 8 in the state of Illinois by Athletic DNA — a ranking website for tennis recruits — and Pozo was No. 2 in Missouri. Braaten advanced to the second round of the Illinois High School Association state tournament as a senior at Lincoln Park High School. Pozo advanced to the Missouri State High School Athletic Association’s state finals his senior year, but was eliminated in the first round by the eventual champion. Martinez led Enid High School to an eighth

place in the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association state finals. Molloy ended his summer by winning both the Under-18 Boy’s Final and the Men’s Open at the Weald Open Junior Tournament. Phipps trained at the Corby Tennis Centre in Corby, United Kingdom, before coming to Carbondale. Saggers advanced to the Boys’ 16 Singles quarterfinals of the 2011 US Tennis Association’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Junior Tennis Classic. Martinez was born in Ecuador and lived there for 10 years before coming to the United States. He said he is not intimidated by playing with the Salukis’ internationally diverse roster. “It’s back to what I started with when I was younger,” Martinez said. With the incoming freshmen, the Salukis have nine players on their roster, giving them better depth than last year. The 2013-2014 team featured only six players, meaning there was nobody on the bench in case of injury. Nelson said having two-thirds of his roster made up of freshmen will not be a disadvantage. “I’m looking at it as all positives right now,” Nelson said. “Freshmen don’t know who the guy is across the net from them … These new guys ... they don’t know any better ... They go out and play the same.” Junior Jonny Rigby said having such a young

roster will play out in favor the Salukis’ favor. “When you come as a freshman, you’re really hungry to make an impression,” Rigby said. “There’s that extra incentive to prove yourself. Maybe in the last couple years, when we’ve been older, we could’ve done

with more youth in the team.” Opieczonek is looking forward to that challenge. “Being a leader for them is going to be a great experience for sure,” Opieczonek said. “They don’t look too tough to coach. It’s going to be a fun journey.”

Salukis will be challenged by the Panthers Saturday SIU football (1-0) will tackle its first tough game of the season Saturday against Eastern Illinois University (0-1). The Salukis are ranked No. 25 in the nation, the first time the team has broken into the top-25 since October 2011. The Salukis will have a fight on their hands to keep their ranking; EIU is the No. 14 ranked team. The Salukis defeated Taylor University 45-0 last Thursday in a lopsided, but unsurprising win considering Taylor is just a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Association team.

The same night, Eastern played its first game of the season, a matchup against Football Bowl Subdivision’s University of Minnesota. The Panthers lost 42-20. To say Eastern is not a good football team based on the result of its first game against a Big Ten Conference opponent is simply not a fair assessment. It also isn’t a fair assessment to say SIU is a good team based on its win over Taylor. The two openers did offer our first look at each team and a look at the kind of plays each offense and defense will run. In the Salukis’ opener, they proved they will run the ball, and run it well. The Dawgs rushed for a total of 284 yards and 3 touchdowns, which is impressive against any football team above the high school level.

Senior running back Malcom Agnew ran for 145 yards, giving him a quick start for reaching the 1,000yard benchmark for the season. Eastern’s offense proved it could run the ball, but from a different position. Junior quarterback Jalen Whitlow had 92 yards rushing to go with his 110 yards passing. Expect Eastern’s offense to be less explosive than in recent years now that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is with the New England Patriots. Garoppolo passed for 118 touchdowns and 13,156 yards in his career as a Panther. Eastern Illinois will run a twoquarterback offense this season, with Whitlow and redshirt senior

Andrew Manley. Manley is more of a pocket passer than Whitlow. Manley was 18 for 34 with 200 yards passing and 2 touchdowns against the Golden Gophers. Manley ran for 20 yards as well against Minnesota. It is likely that Eastern’s offense will still run a high number of plays; it totaled 96 plays against the Golden Gophers. Minnesota only ran 58 plays on offense en route to the win. Eastern was plagued by turnovers against Minnesota’s defense. It will be interesting to see if this is something that will continue for the Panthers. On defense, Eastern was able to stay in the game against the Big Ten school. Its defense held Minnesota’s offense

to 338 yards on Thursday, and trailed the FBS team by only 21 yards after three quarters. On the other hand, SIU’s defense stifled Taylor, holding the Trojans to just 141 total yards of offense. It is hard to say if SIU will continue to dominate on defense based on a matchup against an NAIA team, but it’s a great starting point for the Dawgs. Saturday’s game between EIU and SIU will be the first glimpse of what these teams can do against a Football Championship Subdivision team. In 2013, this same matchup went into double-overtime, a game that the Salukis lost 40-37. The 2014 edition of SIU vs. EIU is likely to be a game that will go down to the wire again.
