Police canine diagnosed with terminal lung cancer

Experimental medication given to Ebola patient Monica S. Nagy

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The Ebola patient in a Dallas hospital is receiving an experimental medication called brincidofovir that was authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, officials announced Monday afternoon. The “investigational medication” was first administered to Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, at 2:14 p.m. Monday, said Candace White, a spokeswoman for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Duncan is the first person to be diagnosed with the Ebola virus on U.S. soil. He was hospitalized Sept. 28 after symptoms developed while he was on his first trip to the U.S. to visit Louise Troh, who is now one of 10 people considered to have had “high-risk” contact with Duncan. Duncan was in critical but stable condition Monday, White said. The drug is manufactured by Chimerix, which is working with the FDA to finalize a clinical trial to assess its safety, tolerablity and efficacy, according to a company statement.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said city workers have been in contact with Troh and her family. Rawlings spoke during a Monday afternoon press briefing with Texas Health Commissioner David Lakey and Dallas Councilwoman Jennifer Staubach Gates, who represents the Vickery Meadow neighborhood where Troh lives and Duncan was visiting. Gates said the biggest concern of the Vickery Meadow community is that residents feel there is a stigma attached to them. They have had hard times finding jobs, she said.

After locating 10 pounds of marijuana, 4 pounds of cocaine, nearly $20,000, multiple firearms and saving a man’s life -- Lizzy, an award-winning Dutch Shepherd from The Netherlands, has been diagnosed with cancer. Deputy James Wright, of Williamson County, and his canine, Lizzy, placed first in the overall patrol event at the 15th annual K-9 Olympics at Vohne Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind. in August. Two officers from the Carbondale Police Department and one from the Williamson County Sheriff’s office and their canines also placed at the competition. “The patrol portion of her is very strong, and that would consist of crowd control, tracking and building searches,” Wright said. “A lot of that is because of me, I’m more patrol oriented.” Lizzy was suffering from pneumonia during the competition and has been retired since being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer on Sept. 2. Wright said Lizzy developed a cough in May. She was sent to a veterinary specialty clinic in St. Louis in early August and was diagnosed with pneumonia. “I asked them what should I do with her in the working type status,” he said. “They said to keep her at home to rest and I said that dog will not rest. She’s telling you now ‘nothings going to keep me down.’” Wright said he competed in the K-9 Olympics three weeks later because of Lizzy’s positive attitude. “There were a few events where I could tell maybe her stamina was not at 100 percent, but she was still able to perform at an, extremely high level,” he said.

Student voting rates lower than national trends Marissa Novel Daily Egyptian

Whether its entering the voting booth or logging on to Desire2Learn, youth voting in student and governmental elections is marginal. Six percent of students voted last month in the student trustee election, a 2 percent increase since 2012. Andy Morgan, acting associate dean of students, said students may be unaware of the importance of the student trustee position on the SIU Board of Trustees, as it approves tuition, fees, and hires. “I think our students care about tuition and fees and how they continue to rise,” he said. “So they should have a voice on the board of trustees and they should let that student trustee know their concerns and issues.” Morgan said students actively involved on campus, such as members of fraternities and sorities, and graduate students, are more inclined to vote than others. He said many young people do not understand, are uninterested in, or are uninformed about governmental voting. He said this is apparent in this

year’s midterm elections for governers, representatives and senators. “We have people that won’t vote and I think the candidates know that, political parties know that, lobbyists know that so they cater to those who do vote,” he said. About 60 percent of all Illinois citizens were registered to vote in the 2010 elections, while 45 percent of that population actually voted, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. Registered voters ages 18 to 24 accounted for 45 percent of all citizens, but 21 percent of their total population actually voted, according to the bureau. In the 2012 presidential election, 45 percent of citizens ages 18 to 29 voted, compared to 72 percent of citizens ages 65 and up, the bureau reported. Charles Leonard, a political scientist and visiting professor for the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said voting difference in age can be attributed to maturation and cohort effects. He said the maturation effect occurs when groups of voters gain interest in government as they grow older. “Your [age] group doesn’t vote as much

as my group does,” he said. “But when your group is my age, you will because of the experiences that all people get as they become young marrieds, young parents, homeowners, and they see that they have more at stake in politics.” Leonard said the cohort effect occurs when voters are grouped together based on their shared experiences. Gregory Maddox, a lecturer in the sociology department, said student voter involvement in a large-scale sense may be low because young people lack a sociological imagination. “The sociological imagination is the ability for people to see how social issues matter; what is it that makes somebody’s personal trouble a social issue,” he said. Maddox said people must be critical, abstract thinkers to develop this imagination. “A lot of people, young and old, don’t really have that [ability],” Maddox said. “It’s a generational thing I suppose in that a lot of young people don’t feel as connected because they’re still in school, they’re not out there with a job and a family.” Please see POLITICAL · 3

Wright said Lizzy and her team were initially given second place in the patrol event, but a few weeks later the kennel said the scores were tallied incorrectly and Lizzy’s team placed first. “She’s won the same award back to back years, and she did that with freaking lung cancer,” Wright said. He said the specialists in St. Louis thought her performance was unbelievable, but more x-rays showed Lizzy’s condition had worsened. “I had been giving her breathing treatments twice a day, antibiotics,” he said. “It’s just like having a kid. I had to do everything.” Wright said on Aug. 27 Lizzy had

her left lung removed and on Sept. 2 she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He said the doctors offered Lizzy chemotherapy but said she had three months to live. Wright said after he consulted with the sheriff’s department, they decided against therapy. “We can’t work her even when she’s doing chemo, so we just want to let her be a dog and let her enjoy life,” Wright said. He said he has disciplined Lizzy less since the diagnosis. “I’ve been grilling her chicken breast, some steak, and chicken livers. She’s probably thought I’ve lost my mind because I’m not on her as much, but I feel guilty.” Wright said Lizzy recovered well from the surgery. “I still get out, play ball with her

Hispanic students hope for Greek acceptance Jordan Duncan Daily Egyptian

After searching for a fraternity to join, a group of students decided to begin forming a new Greek organization. Fuerza Integridad A Todos, which translates from Spanish to “The Strong Integrity of Everyone,” or the FIAT Club, was approved as a Registered Student Organization at the Sept. 23 Undergraduate Student Government meeting. The group plans to become a fraternity by the year’s end. The club would be the third Hispanic fraternity recognized by the university. Julio Hernandez, a junior from Wheeling studying electrical engineering and treasurer of the FIAT Club, said he had trouble finding a fraternity he liked. Cris Duran, a senior from Chicago studying recreational therapy and vice president of the club, said members had difficulty connecting with other Hispanic students

because there are fewer organizations for those students on campus. “I don’t feel we have as many options as an African American student or a Caucasian student,” Duran said. He said he hoped the group would help build the Hispanic community at the university. Andy Morgan, acting associate dean of students, said FIAT Club needs to follow the guidelines to be accepted into the Multicultural Greek Council. He said the club must obtain a letter of support from its RSO advisor as well as a letter from the national organization. The MGC is a sub-council of the InterGreek Council and serves as a governing body for culturally based fraternities and sororities, according to its webpage. The national organization for FIAT Club is the Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity Inc., the oldest Hispanic Fraternity in existence, according to its website.

Meera Komarraju, the chair of the psychology department, said busyness of student life can affect student voting on the individual level. “You’re younger, you’re still discovering yourself and what you want and who you are,” she said. “So as you’re immersed in that experience, the other things seem more distant.” Komarraju said social norms and access to

Morgan said after obtaining these letters, it must pay an application fee of $50 and await a vote from the council. He also said because it can only apply to be part of MGC in the first four weeks of the semester, the club must wait until next spring. Then the members must maintain an average 2.5 GPA and pay dues every semester, or face removal from the council for a year, which would postpone its official status longer. Juan Andres Corral, a sophomore from Chicago in paralegal studies and president of the organization, said it plans to have higher standards for its members than what is required. These standards include a 3.0 minimum GPA for all FIAT Club members, compared to the 2.5 minimum GPA the Multicultural Greek Council set. “We don’t want to say that we’re about something and then the reality is that, when the statistics come out, we’re on the bottom,” he said.

voting booths also influence voting rates. Josh Abell, a senior from Harrisburg studying pre-medical sciences, said he did not vote in the trustee election. “I didn’t vote because I didn’t know we were even having elections and that could have been due to me being busy with course load,” he said. Jessica Nelson, a senior from Lake Zurich studying advertising and photography, said she did not vote in the trustee election and she does not plan on voting in any elections this year. “I just don’t know a lot about that stuff, so I

Duran said he supports the GPA minimum as a personal goal because he takes pride in earning higher grades. He said the club’s short-term goals are to get recognized, do community service and begin fundraising. “We’re here for good,” he said. “We’re not here to make Greek life any worse.” Hernandez said his inspiration for founding a fraternity was to give back to the Hispanic community as well as inspire his younger brother to work hard when he came to SIU. “Starting a new fraternity takes a lot and requires a lot of will and strength,” he said. “I think that me showing him I could be a founder of a fraternity could definitely set an example for my brother.” Corral said the RSO has 15 members and welcomes more. The RSO plans to meet Thursday and offer opportunities for community service hours. Jordan Bartolini, a junior from

don’t want to vote for something I don’t know anything about,” she said. Caroline Thoma, a senior from Columbia studying theater, said she voted in the trustee election. “I saw it all around campus and thought I might as well vote,” she said. Thoma said she plans on voting for governmental elections. “I think it’s your right to vote,” she said. “It’s just a good thing that we have and if you don’t use it, then why have it?”

Chicago studying international studies and criminology, and president of the Inter-Greek Council said once a Greek organization officially has a charter, it is held to a higher standard. She also said the council is excited to welcome new additions to the university. USG senator Joshua Brandon, a sophomore from Buffalo Grove studying psychology, said the group’s eagerness to serve the community will show the positive effects of a Greek organization. “They seem like really motivated guys and, in my opinion, they would be an asset to the Greek community,” he said. “SIU is a university that supports groups of people who want to get together and have organizations that help spread positivity throughout their community.” Jordan A.

Thoma said she previously served as an election judge, or someone responsible for proper and orderly voting, in the last presidential election in her hometown. On campus polling places for the coming election are Grinnell and Lentz Halls as well as the Student Center.

‘Gone Girl’ brutal, but in a good way Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptian

It is hard to remember amazing movies can come from big budget studios, especially with the mediorecently released. “Gone Girl” (Rated R; 149 min) is a helpful reminder that the studio system can make a brilliant movie. “Gone Girl” is directed by David mund Pike and Neil Patrick Harris. Amy and Nick Dunne are the typical all-American couple. They live in a small town mansion in Missouri and are expected to live happily ever after. But the moment Amy disappears, everything starts to change. Nick finds

himself under a spotlight held by his neighbors and the media. Things come to light, and nothing is ever what it seems. There are certain directors who can do no wrong. While this statement may seem a little subjective, it is true that certain directors seem to hit gold every time. A great example of this kind of director is David Fincher. While Fincher started his career kind of rocky, “Alien 3” world, but by all accounts that was out of his control. Since then, the man has been a makes has a Fincher style to it— unique and thought provoking. His psychological thrillers will always

Students iron out connections in Memphis Tara Kulash Daily Egyptian

Carbondale metalsmiths have another home just two states away. As part of a long-standing tradition, the Southern Illinois Metalsmiths Society, or SIMS, volunteered Thursday through Sunday at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tenn. The annual Repair Days event brings student and professional metalsmiths from all over the country to volunteer their time and skills repairing metal objects brought in

only museum in the country that exclusively displays metal art. Objects for repair varied from knives and candelabras to a Foo Dog statue from the Memphis Zoo. Jim Masterson, shop foreman and lead designer at the museum, said the event has drawn in even bigger items in the past, such as a boat. The museum, which opened in 1978, had an SIU alumnus as its retired in 2007 but returns for the Repair Days each year. He said the Repair Days, which began in 1979, originally only brought in Carbondale blacksmiths. Over the years, though, other schools began to participate, such as the Memphis College of Art. Marketing and communications director for the museum Eileen Townsend said SIU still generally brings in the most students. SIU is also the only school in the nation with a master’s program in blacksmithing. “They’re some of the most consistent and most important students that we see every year,” she said. “I think everybody is really grateful for that reof the best schools in the country.” SIU metalsmiths have attended started in 1979.

A group of spectators gathered to watch an experienced blacksmith walk students through the process of heating and liquefying iron. gear and threw scraps of iron and students heated the iron to a liquid, they hammered through the ceramic plug until the bright orange—almost neon—liquid iron came and poured out of the funnel into a bucket. The students then lifted the bucket and poured the iron into molds.

Rick Smith, a full professor of metalsmithing and blacksmithing, called the pour a visual effect. “It’s almost like a performance and I think people are drawn to that,” he said. Many of the students in the demonstration were from SIU. Most were women. Tina Neiweem, who majored in metals at SIU and graduated in spring 2013, participated in the iron pour and said it was exciting to see so many females. “There’s a group of women who were already passionate about it and when another girl would come in curious, we would encourage them to participate,” she said. Overall, about 30 SIU students at-

tended the weekend event, as well as several alumni, but the relationship between SIU and the museum goes further than Repair Days. The museum offers an apprenticeship program that often selects SIU graduates. The apprentices receive a small stipend and live on the museum grounds while working under metal professionals for two years. Tim Schaeffer, a blacksmith major who graduated from SIU in spring 2014, landed one of the two positions this year. He said it seemed natural to move from the rare blacksmith hub in Carbondale to the hub in Memphis. “This would be the next place to push myself,” he said. “It’s a blessing

and a privilege to be here, so it was just a way for me to improve myself.” SIMS has its own networking event Oct. 17 and 18. Zach Lihatsh, a second-year graduate student in blacksmithing, said two visiting artists—Seth Gould and David Clemons—will lead demonstrations and lectures Friday and Saturday. The conference will also include an art show of students’ work from throughout the region, as well as an art auction Saturday night at 17th Street Bar & Grill in Murphysboro.

‘Left Behind’ is beyond uninteresting Jacob Pierce Daily Egyptian

The biggest complaint about movies do the books justice. “Left Behind” (Rated PG-13; 110 min) is a reminder that it is OK to deviate away from source material. “Left Behind” is a disaster movie adaptation directed by Vic Armstrong and stars Nicolas Cage, Lea Thompson and Chad Michael Murray. Rayford Steele (Cage), Buck Williams (Murray), and Chloe Steele (Cassi Thompson) are having what seems like a normal afternoon. Both Rayford and Williams are on home from college.

The movie even ends with a bible quote, which refers to the idea that no one knows when the rapture will come, so al-

It can have hints of post-apocalyptic nature to it and prove to be complex character drama. The movies’ characters are some of the blandest featured on the big screen. This seems to be a contradiction to the point of the film, being that all of the main characters are supposed to be those left behind. It is unclear what the characters have done to be stuck on earth. Even when it is talked about, the crimes seem to be misdemeanor in comparison to what could have been shown. Buck Williams seems to be stuck on the earth only because he is a liberal journalist. No other reason is given.

Facilities allow better practice

The SIU volleyball team started the second half of its regular season unhappy with its record. Only six teams in the Missouri Valley Conference will make the conference tournament Nov. 27 to 29. If the season ended today, the Salukis (8-9, 2-3) would be the sixth seed. “The regular season title is a wonderful thing because you get a bye within the conference tournament,” head coach Justin Ingram said. “I think everybody needs to look at this realistically and shoot for a conference tournament bid.” Ingram said the regular season title does not matter as much as the tournament title because it does not qualify a team for the NCAA tournament. Ingram coached the Salukis to consecutive conference tournaments in 2012 and 2013 in his first two years as coach. SIU was 12-3 through the first half of the 2012 season, but was knocked out of the tournament in the first round by the Illinois State Redbirds. The Salukis were 6-9 through the first 15 matches last season. The team finished runner-up at the conference tournament as the third seed to the Wichita State Shockers. Junior hitter Taylor Pippen said at the beginning of this season, the team goals were to win the regular season conference title and win the MVC tournament to qualify for the NCAA tournament. “It’s still possible,” Pippen said. “We just have to come out stronger. We just have to have a different mindset going into the rest of the games. It’s very capable of us still winning.” The Salukis were picked to finish fifth in conference in the MVC preseason poll. Sophomore setter/ hitter Meg Viggars said she wanted to prove the pollsters wrong. “Of course we’re not happy with the record,” she said. “We’re losing more games than we expected.” Two of SIU’s conference losses came from Indiana State (10-6, 2-3) and Loyola (6-9, 2-4), and both were picked to finish behind the Salukis. “Every team can beat every team in this conference,” Viggars said. Ingram said SIU has to be more consistent with its play going forward this season. “Unfortunately we’re taking baby steps,” he said. “The staff is looking for a bit bigger steps into getting consistent to where we need to be.” The Salukis are coming off a win against Bradley on Saturday. Redshirt freshman outside hitter Andrea Estrada said the win was crucial because it snapped the team’s threematch losing streak. Estrada said the team’s techniques are important, but the main thing it needs to work on is attitude. She said the team forgot about the losses, came ready to play Saturday, and has to do that for the rest of the year. The Salukis have 13 more conference matches this season, including two this weekend. They play at 7 p.m., Friday at Drake and 7 p.m., Saturday at Northern Iowa.

L ewis M arien D aiLy e gyptian Sophomore Kyle Pauly delivers a pitch Monday during practice at Itchy Jones Stadium. Pauly said the youth on the team this year could be an advantage. “Everybody’s going to get a chance to play right away,” Pauly said. “Not many programs can have 28 to 35 guys getting playing time.” Pauly said he would like to be more comfortable throwing his changeup pitch this year. The Salukis will open the season Feb. 13 against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, Texas.

At this time last year, the SIU baseball team was homeless. The Salukis did not have a field to call home last season until after the team’s fall practices. Abe Martin Field was completed in November, which only granted the Salukis some individual practices on the field. The rest of Itchy Jones Stadium was not completed until March. The NCAA allows 28 full team practices in the fall. Coach Ken Henderson said he will complete those practices in a 45-day window this year. SIU scrimmaged at John A. Logan College’s baseball field and held most practices at the SIU recreational fields last year. All of the team’s fall practices have been conducted on Abe Martin Field this year. “It’s a lot better,” senior outfielder Tyler Rolland said. “It’s a lot more of a home feel. Last year walking up to the rec fields was kind of a pain, but now that we have this [field], it’s a beautiful park and it’s fun coming to practice every day.” Henderson said the field is ready to practice on shortly after rain, and ready to go if it is dark. He said it also helped with recruiting. The Salukis have 12 freshman, 14 sophomores,

three juniors and four seniors this season. All of the upperclassmen are community college transfers. Henderson said it is an advantage because players are competing for playing time. “We do not have a kid with more than one year of experience in Division I baseball,” Henderson said. “Is it a disadvantage? No it’s absolutely not. I think it’s an advantage to us.” Rolland said the team has been working on playing as hard as it can because it is going to have to scrap for every run this season. Henderson said he has seen great team chemistry between the returning players and the freshmen. “[The freshmen are] a talented group,” Rolland said. “They’re doing well. They are. If they learn to play the game the right way, they’re going to be real good.” Freshman catcher Nick Hutchins said he chose SIU because the team’s potential and the coaching staff made it an attractive option. He said the returning players have helped him transition to the collegiate level. “It’s a lot different,” Hutchins said. “It’s a lot more. It’s a grind. High school is a lot more laid back, and this is the real deal. I like it a lot better.” Henderson said the lineup and pitching rotation is not set. He said redshirt senior pitcher Aaron Hauge will probably be a weekend starter, as he was last year.

Sophomore pitcher Kyle Pauly might be a weekend starter if he keeps at the pace he is on. “I couldn’t tell you one thing that’s settled right now,” Henderson said. “Every position on that field is wide open. There are two and sometimes three good options at every position.” Pauly was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American last season. He was also second-team All-Conference relief pitcher. Pauly said the team’s success means more to him than anything, and he trusts his coaches to find the best role for him. “I have no idea what I’m going to be doing,” Pauly said. “Whatever [pitching coach P.J.] Finigan and [Henderson] think they need to have me in, I’m totally there for it.” The coaches originally placed Pauly with a summer league team, but shut him down to preserve his arm and not risk injury. He spent most of his summer lifting weights and has been working on little things with his delivery at practice. “Before I came here I didn’t even play summer ball,” Pauly said. “I’m kind of used to it and honestly, I think the break it gives on my arm is exactly what I need. I’ll be good to go.” The Salukis have their first series Feb. 13 to 15 in Fort Worth, Texas against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.

Cross-country star hopes to reach higher Brent Meske Daily Egyptian

The women’s cross-country team has already won one of its two events this year, and one runner in particular has been vital to its success. Senior Kelley Gallagher is the top Saluki runner this season. She won the Saluki Invitational and finished 40th at the Notre Dame Invitational. Gallagher’s 21st place finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional last season helped the team finish fourth, its highest regional finish in school history. She was also part of the team’s first Missouri Valley Conference title in 21 years and finished fifth at the MVC Championships. This resulted in her first career All-Conference honor. “My ultimate goal is to make it to nationals whether it be as an individual or as a team,” she said. “I was really surprised I did that last year, but I think I can better that this year.”

Senior teammate Tori Parry said Gallagher can do even better this year. She said Gallagher’s pace, 17:00.7, at the Notre Dame Invitational could make her an individual qualifier for nationals. Head coach David Beauchem said Gallagher can improve on her accomplishments from last season. “I think she’s ahead of where she was last year,” he said. “I think our goal is the top 10 in the regional meet but she has to get to that point in the season healthy and ready to go.” Parry said Gallagher is a leader on the course and constantly pushes team members to better themselves. “She pushes every workout, she is never a slacker and that obviously shows,” she said. “We have weekend runs, and even when she doesn’t have someone to keep her accountable, her paces are always good.”

Beauchem said Gallagher is not expected to win the regional, but he said the opportunity is there. “She has been our top runner this year,” he said. “She has helped our other runners because she’s the most experienced runner up front right now. She sets up our races based on what she does.” Beauchem said she can lead the team at both the MVC meet and the regional. They have talked about her goals and how they will take advantage of her opportunities, he said. “We’ve looked at race strategies to give her a shot to be at the top in the conference and then come back and run better at the regional,” he said. Gallagher said she is working especially hard this season because it could be her last year of collegiate running. “I have another year of eligibility, but I’m looking at going to graduate school,” she said. “So if I do run next season, it wouldn’t be at SIU.”
