Parking Division accepting peanut butter for up to $35 citations FARRAH BLAYDES | @Farrah_Blaydes

The Department of Public Safety Parking Division is hosting an finereduction event for the SIU Food Pantry in addition to removing up to $35 citations for students who participate.

The SIU Food Pantry is a free pantry where students can get non-perishable groceries with no charge. The pantry is only opens Monday and Thursday From 1-4 p.m.

On Nov. 9, students and faculty can be eligible for a citation dismissal with a minimum donation of two 16-oz plastic jars of peanut butter or multiple jars equivalent to 16 oz.

Any acquired fees on the citation

must be paid first in order to receive the waiver.

The Parking Division requires peanut butter as its only donation, Benjamin Newman, chief director of DPS said.

Substitutions are not accepted.

“Peanut butter is packed with nutrients and a great source for protein,” Newman said.

The citation dismissal will cover students and faculty parking tickets.

The goal of the event is to help support the SIU Food Pantry, Newman said.

“The idea was developed with the Student Center staff,” Newman said.

Students and staff with multiple citations that are equivalent to $35 will not have them all removed. The citation

waiver refers to one citation per person.

Miranda Munguia, a senior studying cinematography said she’s excited about the event.

“Parking Division can at times be brutal with their fining and regulations, and I love how this donation can now waver a citation, even if it’s just for a day. It shows they have some humor and want to support a good cause,” Munguia said.

Citation dismissals will not be permitted after Nov. 9.

Students and faculty interested in participating can drop donations off at the Parking Division’s main office on 1175 S Washington St. or the satellite office in the Student Center on Nov. 9.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner concedes to Democrat J.B. Pritzker in Illinois governor race MIKE RIOPELL, STACY ST. CLAIR & JEFF COEN | Chicago Tribune

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has conceded his re-election bid to billionaire Democrat J.B. Pritzker, the Hyatt hotel heir's

victory likely putting his party in near total control of state government by limiting the governor to a single term.

Rauner started his concession speech less than an hour after polls closed, saying "this is a

time for us to come together.

This is a time for us to unite."

The governor called Pritzker before speaking to the crowd at his campaign party and promised a smooth transition, Rauner's campaign said.

"To Mr. Pritzker, I said, Godspeed," Rauner said. "I hope and pray you serve Illinois well."

His call for unity followed a bitter race in which the two candidates broke national campaign spending records by

tapping their personal fortunes for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Pritzker pumped $171.5 million into his campaign fund over the course of two years. The money paid for a nonstop stream of advertising on TV and the

internet to both attack Rauner and get Pritzker's name in front of voters in a state where he's never held elected office. And some of it went to other Democratic campaigns and causes, building the party with his personal wealth just like Rauner did for Illinois Republicans.

After self-funding his 2014 governor bid, Rauner put $50 million into his re-election campaign in December 2016 but hasn't added money since. He struggled to unite Republican voters after his signature on laws to expand abortion, gay and immigrant rights angered conservatives and led to a primary bid he nearly lost.

Pritzker will control a massive state government with $7.5 billion in unpaid bills and will have to navigate a likely Democratic legislature to get his agenda moved.

Rauner supporters began gathering at his election night party at The Drake hotel shortly after 6 p.m., an event held in a noticeably smaller room than the governor used previously.

The stage at the front of the room was backed by a large American flag, and two TVs near the stage were mostly being ignored as CNN began collecting national results.

Early in the evening, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin made the rounds at the Pritzker party, confidently predicting a win for the Democrat. He noted the Champagne glasses already in the ballroom at the Marriott Marquis

in South Loop.

Durbin praised Pritzker for efforts to stir support outside the Chicago area and said he believed the strategy should lead to victory.

"Pritzker did something different in this campaign," he said. "Here was a Chicagoan, clearly a Chicagoan, who wasted no time getting Downstate. I looked around and thought, 'This is what I've been looking for -- a governor who starts off by unifying the whole state.'"

Pritzker has proposed overhauling the state's tax structure but can't do so unless voters approve the plan two years from now, and he frequently has rebuffed requests for specifics about how it would work. He favors legalizing sports betting and the recreational use of marijuana.

At a final-week campaign stop in DuPage County, Rauner outlined what he'd do with a second term, listing the firstterm priorities he wasn't able to accomplish such as imposing term limits on elected officials.

Rauner focused the final weeks of his campaign on a confidential report from Cook County's top watchdog that Pritzker improperly received $330,000 in property tax breaks on one of his Gold Coast mansions as part of a "scheme to defraud" taxpayers.

Pritzker paid the money back, and also had to contend with racial controversies that arose inside his massive campaign organization.

Three weeks before Election Day,

Page 5 several Pritzker staffers filed a federal lawsuit alleging racial discrimination in their months on the job, accusations he called "just not true."

Weeks later, two of his campaign workers were fired over a video displayed on social media showing one of them wearing a dark facial cosmetic mask resembling blackface.

Both episodes stood to remind voters about an earlier storyline from Pritzker's primary campaign, when he embarked on an apology tour after the Chicago Tribune released a secretly recorded federal government wiretap that was part of the corruption investigation of thenGov. Rod Blagojevich, who is now in prison. The wiretap involved a replacement for thenPresident-elect Barack Obama for his U.S. Senate seat.

During the conversation, Pritzker pitched Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White as a replacement for Obama.

White, Pritzker said, would take care of the "African-American thing" and would be the "least offensive" of the potential black candidates Blagojevich was considering. Pritzker also called former state Senate President Emil Jones "crass" and former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. "a nightmare."

Rauner tried to capitalize on the late-campaign controversies over the property tax breaks, federal lawsuit and the two fired staffers, telling rally crowds and debate audiences that Pritzker was "using the language of racists."

The Republican governor, though, had his own political currents to swim against. His four-year term was dominated by a historic war over the state budget that left social services hurting, universities without state money and uncertainty reigning over the Illinois Capitol.

The impasse put the governor

“Pritzker did something different in this campaign.

Here was a Chicagoan, clearly a Chicagoan, who wasted no time getting Downstate. I looked around and thought, 'This is what I've been looking for -- a governor who starts off by unifying the whole state.”

- Dick Durbin U.S. senator

at odds with his chief political nemesis, Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, the longtime Southwest Side party leader whom Rauner spent most of his first campaign and term in office vilifying.

Rauner tried to push Democrats to accept some of his pro-business and government reform ideas before he'd sign off on their spending plans.

But after a two-year impasse, a handful of Republican lawmakers broke with Rauner, overriding his veto of an income tax hike and spending plan that broke the stalemate.

Soon afterward, the governor declared victory when signing legislation to overhaul how the state pays for public schools, but it came at a steep political cost.

He got almost none of what he had hoped to get out of the deal.

And with weeks to go before Election Day, Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced a criminal and civil probe into the

Rauner administration's response to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease at a Downstate veterans home that left more than a dozen veterans dead over several years.

The outgoing Democratic attorney general's move put Rauner back on the defensive weeks before a debate in Quincy on an issue that dogged his administration for more than a year.

The joy of Tuesday night may be met with the perhaps painful reality of being in control of Illinois state government in January. As of Election Day, the state faces $7 billion in unpaid bills despite last year's income tax hike. Pension costs are going up and will suck up state money lawmakers and the governor will want to spend on other things such as education.

Incumbent Mike Bost holds late lead against Democratic challenger Kelly CLAIRE COWLEY | Daily Egyptian

The poll reporting precincts said incumbent Mike Bost [R – Murphysboro] appeared to be on his way to a victory Brendan Kelly [D – Belleville] over at the time of publication.

Bost had 98,581 votes with 54.4 percent compared to Kelly’s 42.7 percent.

The election results said green party candidate Randy Auxier received 5,362 votes.

Williamson county appeared to support Bost the most with 17,597 votes with 100 precincts reporting.

Bost’s main campaign goals are improving agriculture, moving toward energy independence and southern Illinois economy forward

with accessible and affordable healthcare for residents.

In October, the city of Murphysboro hosted a rally for President Trump to endorse Bost for congress.

“Bost does not stop working for Illinois,” Trump said. “He is a great guy and is a warrior.”

Trump said other people in Illinois don’t care about this state’s improvement in terms of local factory and business employment.

Bost said if you want our president to succeed you need to make sure Nancy Pelosi doesn’t get elected.

“Brendan Kelly is beholden to the Democrats that support him,” Trump said.

Trump said Republicans want to

Trump endorsed Bost saying, “A vote for Mike is really a continuation for Make America Great Again.”

Former vice president Joe Biden campaigned for Kelly in East St. Louis Oct. 31.

“We’re in a situation where the character of the country is on the ballot in a way that it hasn’t been in my lifetime,” Biden said.

Windhorst wins over incumbent Phelps Finnie for Illinois House KALLIE COX | @KallieC45439038

Patrick Windhorst [R – Metropolis] has won against incumbent Natalie Phelps Finnie [D – Elizabethtown] and become the state representative for the 118th district of Illinois.

Windhorst won with 21,716 votes, having 57.6 percent of the total votes, while Phelps Finnie had 42.4 percent.

Windhorst ran on the principles of lowering taxes, increasing jobs, implementing term limits, decreasing state spending, reforming schools, and instilling conservative pro-life values in the country.

The principle that Windhorst ran on is that it takes a Republican outsider to vote against Mike Madigan. Windhorst said Phelps Finnie would vote to support Madigan.

Windhorst spent the majority of his life in southern Illinois and attended Shawnee Community College. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois and graduated law school at SIU. He now lives in Metropolis with his wife and two children.

According to the Illinois General Assembly, Phelps Finnie has served as a representative since September 2017. She was preceded by her cousin Democrat Brandon Phelps.

Phelps Finnie is a southern Illinois local and according to the Southern Illinoisan, she was the first woman to serve as a representative of the 118th district.

According to Bill Track 50, a vote tracking system for house representatives, Phelps Finnie voted yes on county lactation rooms, amending the stalking no contact order, a bill that causes federally

funded preschools to report chronic absences, and a bill that requires there to be a veterans coordinator in higher education.

Phelps Finnie also advocated for Senate Bill 2269 which would provide correctional officers with their back pay.

Patrick Windhorst is endorsed by various Republicans in southern Illinois including: Sheriff Ted Holder, Massac County Commissioner Jayson Farmer, and Johnson County Commissioner Fred Meyer.

Phelps Finnie was endorsed by the NRA, the Illinois Citizens for Life, the Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Farm Bureau Activator, and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police.

USG to vote on possible increased student tech fee next meeting, swears in new senator AUSTIN PHELPS | @austinphelps96

The vote on the $3 student increase to the student technology fee will be voted on by USG at the next meeting on Nov. 13, Paxton Morse, the vice president of USG, said.

At the previous USG meeting University Interim Chief Information Officer Scott Bridges proposed a $3 raise to the student information technology fee.

Bridges said the fee increase would predominantly go toward new costs. This would bring the fee to $10 per credit hour.

Students at the university currently pay $7 per credit hour. It is a part of the $117 per credit hour general fee structure.

Trey Hentis, a senior studying mechanical engineering, was sworn in as a new Senator for USG. He is a representative for the engineering department.

The Blockchain Economics club is a new RSO on campus and was approved by USG. Lazar Kuzmanov, a senior studying business economics and speaker for the RSO, said the group’s intent is to offer practical solutions to socio-economic problems.

“I’m sure some of you may heard of bitcoin, I want to focus on the underlying technology behind that,” Kuzmanov said.

GPSC approves of OIT student tech fee raise EMILY COOPER | @ecooper212

Graduate and Professional Student Council was scheduled to vote on the possible increase to the Student Technology Fee during their next meeting on Nov. 13, but the council motioned to vote at this Tuesday’s meeting.

The final vote was 21 yes votes with three abstentions and two no’s. The majority of the council fully supports the fee raise.

“As far as proposed increases to the student fees, [the] Office of Information Technology is looking to student constituency bodies for guidance on

this,” GPSC President Clay Awsumb said. “That is not something that is usually considered good practice to bring forward proposed increases to student fees or tuition without the support of students.”

OIT charges the Student Technology Fee to provide students with critical technology services, Scott Bridges, Interim Assistant Provost and Chief Information Officer of OIT, said.

This fee covers things like funds to pay SalukiTech Support Teams, email security, D2L and more.

“The cost of software, or even the software that is available at a student

discount, is sometimes unmanageable and WiFi in some parts of campus is spotty at best,” Bridges said. “Making these things more available in a more modern way is appealing to students on campus.”

The university’s Student Technology Fee is currently $7 per credit hour. This fee is included in the $117 per credit hour general fee that students pay each semester.

The $7 Student Technology Fee currently allows OIT to “keep the lights on,” Bridges said.

“However, we do not have the resources to propel us forward,” Bridges

said. “We propose an increase of $3 per credit hour, to $10 per credit hour for the STF.” Increasing the Student Technology Fee by $3 would raise the general per credit hour fee from $117 to $120, Bridges said.

Bridges said the fee was created in 2007.

“A decade has gone by, if not more, without any increase towards this, but yet the cost has risen,” Dianah McGreehan, GPSC vice president of administrative affairs, said. “To be able to maintain and sustain what we currently have, but also to expand that, we need to expand what

we’re providing to the this.”

Olinda Hubbs, Strategic Communications, said times have changed, systems have changed and technology has changed. OIT finds itself keeping things running.

“We stay at a maintenance level, but as technology increases for us to move to that next level we just don’t have the funds,” Hubbs said. “That next level of upgrade is really what makes the difference between having that technology as a utility versus having it as a tool.”

Third Campus Conversations event discusses grading policies KALLIE COX | @KallieC45439038

Student Trustee Brione Lockett’s third Campus Conversations on Tuesday focused on discussing faculty and student relationships on campus.

Undergraduate Student Government President Toussaint Mitchell and Graduate and Professional Student Council President Clay Awsumb were both in attendance and helped to facilitate the conversation.

Lockett asked what changes should be implemented to solve faculty/student problems.

“I think there [should be] some standard rules and regulations, standard grading policies that are objective so that the student knows what they are, so it’s down on paper,” a student said.

Another student raised concern about the

grading process for creative classes.

“There has to be a standard for creative majors,” the student said. “That is in the back of a lot of people’s minds, how am I going to be graded? Because I didn’t do it the way you would have done it?”

Awsumb asked students how well they felt the criteria by which they were evaluated was explained to them.

“From my experience, when it comes to not so much creative work but essays, they don’t give you the criteria for it,” One student said in response.

She said because there is no set criteria for grading, teachers with vestiges of racism in their minds from their upbringing, may grade a student with bias.

One student said she repeated an essay multiple times, receiving zero points each time.

“I think there [should be] some standard rules and regulations, standard grading policies that are objective so that the student knows what they are, so it’s down on paper.”

Even though she asked her teacher for feedback “I shouldn’t be fearful that I am going to each time, she said she was still left confused on get points off because I didn’t follow your the grading standard and still received zero points. suggestions,” the student said.

Brione Lockett asked students what they need to be successful at the university.

SIU Shooting Team plans exciting new collaboration with Colleges of Science, Medicine AUSTIN PHELPS | @austinphelps96

SIU Shooting Team plans to collaborate with the Colleges of Science and Medicine to help medical students learn bullet retrievals by shooting dead pigs, Helen Janis, vice president of the team, said.

The team will get some dead pigs from the farm, pigs that have either been euthanized due to old age or have just died from natural causes, and shoot them, Janis said.

“Then [we] give them to the medical students [and] let them do a bullet retrieval,” Janis said. “Pigs are often used in medical fields for training the students because the flesh texture is very similar to human flesh.”

Janis said this type of training gives students a hands-on experience before they get to their careers.

“We are going to use a couple of different calibers, hopefully do this with two or three pigs, they can see the damage the different calibers do, especially internally,” Janis said.

“They might have a general idea of the caliber and stuff and they already know what to start looking for.”

Janis said before joining the team she had no previous experience with guns.

“One of the first things that I learned coming right on was just the basic protocols of how to handle the weapons,” Janis said. “How to make sure everything is emptied, discharged, just basic safety.”

The thought of living on her own as a young 20-something year old woman, Janis said, was an aspect of her owning a firearm.

“I wouldn’t necessarily have neighbors around,” Janis said.

“There’s also multiple studies that show if you scream for help, help

doesn’t always come, so having a firearm was an element of protection there.”

Janis said the team is also looking to work with a forensics class next semester to do blood spatter analysis.

“With some synthetic blood, some bullet analysis using ballistics gel, bullet retrieval, stuff like that,” Janis said. “So we’re definitely also trying to make this as educational as possible and let it overlap into the other colleges.”

Any student, faculty member, or alumni can join the team, Dakota Serviss, president of the SIU Shooting Team, said.

“It really just gives people a chance who really don’t have an opportunity to get out and shoot with us in a safe and constructive setting once a week,” Serviss said. “We do rifle and pistol and trap shooting.”

Serviss said the SIU Shooting Team can be considered a sport, but it offers something different for everyone.

It is important to have something

for everyone on campus, though most people might not relate firearm ownership with college students, Serviss said. His parents weren’t thrilled when he first bought a firearm. “[Then there’s] someone like Greg who’s been shooting since he can walk, it seems like. It brings those two different viewpoints together and creates this inclusive environment,” Serviss said.

Greg Faust, range safety officer of the SIU Shooting Team, said he first wanted to own a gun for hunting purposes. Now he enjoys the competitive aspect of it also.

“I mean there's not always a purpose behind everything besides just enjoyment,” Faust said. “You can go out have fun on the range for a day, have fun with a couple of guys, go home, and enjoy yourself.“ Jonathan Harve, treasurer of the SIU Shooting Team, said he never shot a firearm until joining the team. He said the first firearm he shot was a 9mm pistol and it felt good because it came with a

lot of responsibility.

“I never really owned a gun, but today I own three guns,” Harve said. “I own a pistol, a shotgun and a rifle.”

Janis said people have accused the team of promoting violence.

She said the club does the opposite of that.

“The first thing drilled into us over and over again is gun safety, [and] responsible handling,” Janis said.

Serviss said the team is open to everyone regardless of experience level.

“If you don't really grow up in

that culture, if your parents don't take you out shooting, [then] it's pretty foreign to you,” Serviss said.

There are many levels of engagement in the team, and they try to find a comfortable medium between being casual and recreational then adding kind of a competitive element to it, Serviss said.

“A little bit of something for everyone with the common denominator being a firearm,” Serviss said.

Serviss said he has reached out to other RSOs on campus and

others who don’t see the need or interest in the team, in an attempt to try and diversify the team.

“I mean the narrative is there because that’s what people see,” Serviss said. “[In] the store I work at we deal with that too. People, they have this idea of what a gun owner is, and it usually is a republican white male and that’s simply not true.”

Serviss said they have brought people out who have not come back for one reason or another.

“I feel that it is in the back of

their mind that this is kind of like that white boy group,” Serviss said.

“It sucks and it’s something we have to deal with.”

A lot of people don’t know where to look for information on firearms and safety, Janis said. The team offers an area where they can come and learn if they want they can get involved.

“They can start learning safety, they can start the process to get their own firearm. If they’re just coming to find out what is this all about, what is all the hype about,

then we at least provide them a basis where they can actually look in and see what exactly the gunholder community is,” Janis said.

The team has practices every Sunday and they alternate between trap shooting with shotguns one week, and rifle and pistol practice the next week.
