School of Law to focus on operations vital to functioning

Partiers cycle through city

CORY RAY | @CORYRAY_DE

The School of Law is fighting to retain its core mission as budget cuts are made throughout the university.

The school experienced a budget cut of almost $111,000 — 1.2 percent of its overall budget for this fiscal year.

School of Law Dean Cynthia Fountaine said the cut represents 3 percent of the university’s state budget for the law school and came from a reserve fund. The reserve acts as an emergency fund, and according to Fountaine, because it has accumulated over the years, the school can prepare for emergencies differently than departments.

The school is also cutting expenses to accommodate for the budget crisis, including seven vacant tenured-track faculty positions.

To cover the courses attached to those positions, the school is focusing on providing classes vital to the functions of the school by having other faculty take over teaching.

Though a few instructors who are covering an overload of courses are being compensated, some instructors are giving up elective classes they usually teach to cover core courses.

“We have certain classes here at the law school that are required,” Fountaine said. “For the most part ... we have shifted their teaching list to make sure all those classes are covered.”

To decide what classes to offer, the school offered a town-hall style meeting for its students to voice their input.

Maria Napolez, a second-year law student from Los Angeles, said the associate dean of the school asked students what classes they believed were important, what class times worked best for students and addressed other concerns.

“They try their best to make it where it accommodates the students,” Napolez said. “I think that’s one way they’re dealing with those budget cuts.”

The school is also postponing or canceling building improvements and renovations during this period, according to Judi Ray, the school’s assistant dean of administration.

Ray said the school planned to reorganize one of its administrative suites and buy upgraded equipment, but will now postpone such projects to save money.

“We can deal with what we have,” Ray said.

Other cuts include travel reductions per the recommendation of Interim Chancellor Bradley Colwell.

The school only enrolls graduate students, but does not have any graduate assistantships.

Fountaine said graduate assistant positions are not a concern for the law school as they are for other departments.

As of now, Fountaine said the school has not had to terminate any staff or faculty members.

“As we’re making these cuts, we’re trying to protect our academic mission here at the law school,” Fountaine said. “We’re looking at everything we can do to save money and still provide the excellent legal education that we do. “

Mizzou football players join campus racial protest DAVE MATTER | ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Racial tension on the University of Missouri’s campus could soon impact Mizzou athletics. MU football players will apparently stop participating in team activities until university system president Tim Wolfe resigns.

A message circulated on Twitter on Saturday night featuring a photo of 32 African-American Mizzou football players, some locked arm in arm along with the following message: “The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere’ We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experiences. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!”

On Sunday, head coach Gary Pinkel expressed solidarity with his players on Twitter by posting a picture of the team and coaches locking arms. The tweet on Sunday read: “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”

Most Missouri players declined comment on the situation when leaving the team facility after an approximate 90-minute meeting with coaches that started at 10 a.m. Sunday. After the meeting, team

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

spokesman Chad Moller said the team would eventually release a statement on the situation.

While walking out of the facility, tight end Jason Reese said the team was originally scheduled to practice Sunday but will not practice. Asked when the team will resume practicing, Reese said, “After this gets resolved.”

On Saturday night, the Twitter account for the school’s Legion of Black Collegians posted the message and photo. Several players in the photo have since retweeted the photo.

Among those players in the photo are star linebacker Kentrell Brothers, defensive end Charles Harris, tailbacks Russell Hansbrough and Ish Witter and several other starters and backup players.

Mizzou football team spokesman Chad Moller released the following statement: “The department of athletics is aware of the declarations made tonight by many of our student-athletes. We all must come together with leaders from across our campus to tackle these challenging issues and we support our student-athletes right to do so.”

Several players tweeted about the protest Saturday, including cornerbacks John Gibson and Finis Stribling, safeties Thomas Wilson and Anthony Sherrils and linebacker Clarence Green

among others. In response to another tweet, Gibson wrote the boycott “has nothing to do with our coaches. Our coaches are 100 percent behind us. Including the white ones.” He later deleted the tweet.

Linebacker Grant Jones, the son of running backs coach Brian Jones, tweeted, “If anyone’s mistaken the 32 players that are in the picture are not the only players participating in the boycott.”

Missouri’s football team played Thursday, losing to Mississippi State to fall to 4-5, and does not play again until Saturday’s game against Brigham Young in Kansas City.

Mizzou student Jonathan Butler has been staging a hunger strike since Monday, saying he won’t eat until Wolfe steps down. Butler has been critical of the system president for the way he’s handled several racial incidents on campus.

Butler was pictured in the photo featuring the 32 Mizzou players.

Wolfe met with Butler and representatives of several student organizations Friday, The Associated Press and other news outlets reported.

In a statement released Friday, Wolfe called Butler an important voice for social justice and said he was concerned about Butler’s health.

Law students put their skills to the test this weekend in a competition that forced them to consider real-world issues.

The SIU School of Law hosted its annual National Health Law Moot Court Competition on Saturday and Sunday, a two-day mock court competition in which students from universities across the nation compete against each other.

While SIUC students do not participate, they do host and organize the event.

This year, 29 teams of two to three students each represented 23 universities at the competition.

Gene Basanta, a professor of law emeritus who has worked with the event since 1992, said it is beneficial for students because the hypothetical case is relevant issue in U.S. law.

In the mock case, a state discontinued religious exemptions for vaccinations and required non-vaccinated children to view an informational film about the consequences of being unvaccinated. A set of parents filed a suit claiming their constitutional rights have been violated.

The teams then composed arguments based on the case facts.

“Where there are laws that are passed that require, as in this case, students to be vaccinated ... That’s something that I think is important,” Seth Granda, a thirdyear law student participating in the moot court, said. “I think it’s really good that the competition has picked something that is that relevant and forced us to take it head on and address it.”

Every team assembled arguments for both sides of the case.

“I think any good lawyer has to be able to dissect an issue,” Basanta said. “A lot of these times, they are issues that do have two sides to this story and there are two different viewpoints, or multiple different viewpoints expressed ... You’re also forced to think about the way that someone else who believes things very differently than you thinks.”

Vaccinations were discussed at the second Republican president debate earlier this year. During the debate, candidate Ben Carson argued no correlation between autism and vaccinations against Donald Trump’s accusations linking vaccinations

to the disorder.

“It’s a very timely issue,” Basanta said.

“Students who come from [these] schools want to argue cases that have a dose of reality to them.”

In addition to arguing the case, teams also prepared briefs reviewed by a panel and included in overall team scores.

The law school depends on local and state attorneys and judges to volunteer to judge the competition.

Students competed in two rounds Saturday, and the top 16 teams competed Sunday in a tournament-style format until one team is declared the winner.

Rebecca Harris, a third-year law student from Albion and member of the Moot Court Board, previously participated in a moot court in Albany, N.Y., that focused on family law. She said she finds the event beneficial and she devoted a lot of time in preparation.

“We did practice rounds about five days a week for a couple hours,” Harris said.

“We started out with a script — basically our whole argument — and, eventually, we would work down to where we got to no notes.”

SIUE jazz station to lose state funding KELSEY LANDIS | THE TELEGRAPH

While state funding for Illinois public universities remains tied up by an ongoing budget stalemate, appropriations for other services, like SIU-Edwardsville’s jazz station, are drying up altogether.

Central administration at SIU-E charged WSIE “The Jazz Station” managers in April with weaning themselves off of $140,000 in state appropriation funding by 2018. That accounts for nearly 80 percent of the station’s $180,000 total annual operating budget. Amid declining and delayed support from the state for higher education, the university has focused on shifting money to classroom teaching.

“The radio station is somewhat outside of that focus,” said Doug McIlhagga, executive director of university marketing and communications at SIU-E. But enhancing sponsorships, underwriting and listener support could cover the loss of state and university support, he added.

“In reality, considering the radio station, its value, its placement in the market, that’s an achievable goal.”

The station’s most recent fundraising effort comes in the form of an online campaign on website IndieGoGo, with a goal of raising $10,000. The online effort is a new avenue for raising money, said Greg Conroy, general manager of six years. It comes in addition to two annual fundraisers.

Shifting to a self-sustaining budget driven by fundraisers signifies an overall transformation in the business model, the

communications director said.

“The president’s office told us what our focus needs to be, and where we need to change our way of doing business. From our perspective, we said okay, we just need to change our business model,” McIlhagga said.

WSIE (88.7 FM) was founded in September 1970 and originally played an eclectic mix of music chosen by student DJs. In the mid-1980s, the station’s mission shifted under then General Manager Roy Gerritsen, who decided the station would become a purely jazz station to serve an empty niche in the region, Conroy said.

“I still believe in his mission,” Conroy said. “We have a following of people who listen to jazz. That’s what they want to hear. A radio station is supposed to be serving the needs of a region. We serve that purpose.”

Last year, the station began hosting the weekly St. Louis Jazz Talk, a program featuring interviews with and music from local jazz musicians. The station plays local music throughout their 24/7 programming, along with selections from a server that has grown by nearly 6,500 tunes in the past six years. Dick Ulett, president of Clayton Studios and consultant to WSIE, reviews CDs from distributors weekly and decides what will be played.

In addition to broadcasting jazz music, live news and special programming to the entire St. Louis metropolitan area, including southwestern Illinois, the station offers paid, part-time student worker positions in new and sports broadcasting and audio broadcast board

operations for SIUE sporting events. The student positions would not be affected by the budget cut, McIlhagga said.

Conroy said the opportunity for students to work at a major regional radio station provides valuable experience both in and outside of mass communications careers.

“Even if they don’t go into radio, it teaches you teamwork, discipline, deadlines, responsibilities, how to do the news, run sports events so our listeners can hear these events,” Conroy said.

Each year, he added, at least one of the 16 or more students working in the station goes on to land a job in radio.

Valerie Sieth is a graduate assistant with the station. She is pursuing her master’s degree in public administration, and says she has developed skills that will help her as she pursues a career in public policy.

“As far as the public affairs programming, it (the station) is an outlet to the community to get information on what’s going on in the local area, as far as the economy, environment, local government, anything that might affect them,” Sieth said.

Learning about that process “will definitely aide in my future career path,” Sieth said.

Dr. Elza Ibroscheva, department of mass communications professor and chair, said many students in the department “experience valuable learning opportunities” by working at the station, some even joining the major specifically to work at the station.

“The radio station is a great learning laboratory for our students who focus on broadcasting,” Ibroscheva said.

SIUSS skates into Carterville with fall competition

Jordan Duncan | @jordanduncanDE Joe Vizzaccero, of Rochester, Mich., attempts a trick during an intermission between competitions at the SIU Skate Society competition in Carterville on Saturday. Wade Stofko, a senior from Joliet studying cinema and photography and president of SIUSS, said hosting events helps bring people outside from school to skateparks to inform them about resources they may not know of.

Supreme Court dives back into the fight over contraceptives and Obamacare DAVID G. SAVAGE TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU

The Supreme Court has agreed to decide another religiousliberty clash over contraceptives that insurers are required to pay for under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

The justices said they will rule on whether religious schools, colleges and charities may refuse to cooperate in any way with the administration’s plan of offering free birth control to female employees, including by refusing to sign a notice citing their religious objection.

Obama’s lawyers have stressed that none of the Catholic or evangelical Christian institutions are being asked to pay for contraceptives if they cite a sincere religious objection to doing so.

But that concession has not mollified Catholic bishops or the leaders of hundreds of Christian schools and colleges, including Notre Dame University and nonprofit charities like the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Joined together in dozens of lawsuits, the religious institutions argued they would be “morally complicit in grave sin” if they were required even to notify the government of their refusal to comply. That notice would shift the burden of paying for birth control to their insurers, they noted.

Under federal regulations, the notice “triggers” the duty of the church’s private insurers and therefore, makes the church leaders “complicit in the delivery”

of the disputed contraceptives, lawyers for the Catholic archbishop of Washington said in an appeal to the high court.

The Obama administration has stood fast on the so-called contraceptive mandate, insisting that women employees and students must have access to birth control through their insurance.

Providing contraceptives free of charge will greatly reduce unwanted pregnancies and abortions, they say.

And, they argue, it’s one thing for the religious institutions to say they should not be required to pay for contraceptive coverage. It’s quite another for them to refuse even to notify the government so that other arrangements can be made.

If a religious nonprofit institution notifies the government of its objection, that step “relieves the employer of any obligation to provide, arrange or pay for the coverage to which it objects,” said Solicitor Gen. Donald Verrilli in response. That, he said, should be sufficient to protect the groups’ rights to religious freedom, the government argues.

These disputes have been heard in federal courts across the country for several years.

Most judges have ruled for the administration and its “opt-out” plan for religious groups. They said notifying the government of their religious objection did not put a “substantial burden” on anyone’s freedom of religion.

But in September, the 8th Circuit Court in St. Louis

took the side of the churchbased institutions and said that requiring them to cooperate with the government would “substantially burden” their freedom of religion.

That split all but assured the Supreme Court would step in to resolve the matter.

The justices said Friday they would hear several appeals in a single, combined case.

The case is the fourth major test of Obama’s health care law to come before the court. Twice, the justices have rejected broad challenges to the law. But in 2014, they said that the Christian family that owns the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores may refuse to provide contraceptives as part of their insurance coverage.

The ruling turned not on the First Amendment but on a federal law known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. That law says the government may not “substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” unless the requirement is the “least restrictive means of furthering a compelling government interest.”

From the start, the Obama administration said churches, synagogues and other houses of worship were exempt from the health care law’s requirement.

But the administration refused to extend the full exemption to religiously affiliated schools, hospitals and other groups because those institutions may have hundreds of employees who do not share the religious view of their employers.

Veterans day should become our national election day CHARLES STIMSON The Heritage Foundation

One of the saddest statistics in America today is the low rate of voter turnout. In the 2012 presidential election only 57.5 percent of eligible voters turned out. That number is sobering.

Even worse is having to go back to 1896 to find a rate significantly higher (79 percent). The oftrepeated reason for the low rate is that potential voters don’t think their vote will matter.

By combining Veterans Day and Election Day into one national holiday we, as a nation, can provide eligible voters with a whole new reason to vote — to honor the veterans who have given so much to protect this right.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

One vote may not change an election, but the individual act of voting can become a message sent to all veterans on Veterans Day that we know what they have done for us. In 2014, Election Day did fall on Veterans Day. Now we need to make that permanent. A group of students has become interested in pursuing this effort, and you will be able to follow their work on www.

VetDayVoteDay.org. Their simple message is: How can you honor a veteran on Veterans Day? Vote!

The most moving moment on a trip to Europe years ago was not seeing the Coliseum, the Eiffel Tower or a masterpiece in the Louvre; it was a visit in Italy to a cemetery dedicated solely to American soldiers. There were thousands of simple white tombstones with the names of our

fallen soldiers. Walking among them it was impossible not to cry. So many young Americans whose lives lasted only 18, 19, or 20 years, and who died so far away from their homes.

At a World Economic Forum in 2003, Colin Powell was challenged about American “empire building.” His answer silenced the room: “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.

The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.”

We entered World War I with Woodrow Wilson’s call to “make the world safe for democracy.”

Americans responded, and

many — too many — did not return. We must continue to honor their sacrifice by taking the one action that defines a democracy: voting.

There is nothing that connects a Tuesday in November — typically Election Day — to anything meaningful in our national culture. The date was set not by the Constitution, but by Congress in the 1880s.

In those days voting could be a two-day commitment for farmers who had to travel to the county seat _ often a day’s journey by wagon. So elections had to be held after the harvest.

And they couldn’t happen on the Sabbath. So allowing Monday for travel, voting could be done on Tuesday, with time

left over to buy supplies and head back to the farm. It made sense then, but such thinking is irrelevant today.

If we make a change by linking Election Day and Veterans Day, your candidate still may not win.

Your candidate may not even have a remote chance to win.

But every vote would become a continuing statement saying that all of those lives marked by white tombstones were not lost in vain.

All those veterans, who served in our armed forces and protected our nation, would be further honored and valued.

They fought for you. They served for you. Honor them.

Vote. It is so simple and so obvious and so easy to achieve.

We can do this.

School of Music showcases talent KRISTEN LEVINE | @KLevine_DE

A small program with large talent, the School of Music prepares emerging artists, educators and industry professionals for today’s market.

The School of Music will host the SIU Music Showcase at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Luther F. Carson Center for Performing Arts in Paducah, Ky. The showcase will include musical and theater performances from members of the university.

Eric Lenz, an associate cello professor, is excited to promote the diversity of options within the school of music and the university at the showcase “The showcase event is an opportunity for

SIU to connect with alumni and prospective students in one of the regional cornerstone communities closest to our own,” Lenz said.

Lenz, who has served as principal cello for the Paducah Symphony since 2008, said several school of music faculty members perform regularly at the Carson Center with the Paducah Symphony.

Jose Guzman, from Ponce, Puerto Rico, a second-year graduate student in theory and composition/guitar performance, will perform in the jazz orchestra, which he has been preparing for since August.

Guzman began playing the guitar 17 years ago on Three Kings Day, a main Puerto Rican holiday in January that marks

the biblical adoration of Jesus Christ.

“When I was little, I received a guitar on Three Kings Day. Ever since then, I’ve been playing the guitar,” Guzman said.

The most difficult part for preparing a showcase is communication between colleagues, time accuracy and understanding, and knowing different genres, Guzman said.

“From my personal standpoint, the hardest part for any upcoming show is getting to know the different genres that you aren’t usually used to playing,” Guzman said.

Although preparation has taken its toll, Guzman said he is thrilled to represent his school and country.

Isaac Lausell, a guitar professor and

showcase performer, has played the guitar for 30 years. He will conduct for the guitar orchestra and be a feature soloist in two pieces at the showcase.

“This showcase is about showing the community the different aspects for what these students can offer,” Lausell said.

Even though the music program at the university is small, Lausell said students in the showcase will gain experience putting on a well-structured performance.

“When we get on a bus, go to a different state, play on a stage with a big audience, the students get a real life experience of what the music world is,” Lausell said.

“Increase the craft and get better.”

Donald Trump on ‘Suffragette’ star Carey Mulligan: ‘SNL’: 5 thoughts ‘Many of the issues raised in the STEVE JOHNSON | Chicago Tribune

In the end, the anticipation far outpaced — trumped, you might say — the reality.

For weeks, people had fretted about Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidate, despoiler of a Chicago skyscraper and former NBC reality star, being given a chance to host “Saturday Night Live.” Free advertising, they said. Unfair!

But the show that aired Saturday was one of the genuine duds in the recent history of the NBC late-night warhorse, and that’s saying something. “SNL” didn’t seem to know what to do with Trump beyond, mostly, a string of late appearances in sketches that sapped whatever meager power they had managed to muster.

Here are five thoughts on Trump, the candidate, hosting “SNL,” the show that is now officially more interested in an extra few ratings points than in comedy: 1. Larry David as Bernie Sanders should have been the host. There was more life in David’s brief caricature of the Vermont socialist seeking the Democratic presidential nomination than in all of Trump’s onstage moments combined. “I’m not talking about fancy coins like dimes and quarters,” David/Sanders said in a plea for donations found in a household cleaning device. “I’m Bernie Sanders, and I want your vacuum pennies.” Unfortunately, the David moments came early, and the rest of the show went on like, for instance, a presidential campaign being fought months in advance of the calendar year of the actual election.

2. The monologue, which sets the mood for a host’s evening, was a snooze. Not even Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond doing their versions of Trump beside Trump could save this TV moment. At least there was

a laugh in cast member Aidy Bryant feigning exasperation at Trump mistaking her for his long-time nemesis Rosie O’Donnell.

3.

Trump walks away unscathed. He didn’t particularly help himself in his apparent quest to become president, but the “short-fingered vulgarian,” as Spy Magazine used to call Trump in the 1980s, didn’t hurt himself either. He poked just enough fun his own way to seem a good sport but, whether playing the laser harpist in a low-rent band or a sleazy record producer, he stayed mostly above the proceedings, reading his lines with a smirk that suggested he thought he was getting the better of this deal.

4. So why did “SNL” bring him on? The show took its shots at Trump in the first sketch after the monologue, which imagined the year as 2018, Trump in the White House, and the many unlikely things he’s promised on the campaign trail having come true. But even having a “president of Mexico” giving President Trump a check to help pay for the border wall between Mexico and the U.S. didn’t land particularly hard.

5. This was in no way worth the controversy. The essence of people’s beef with NBC and “SNL” is that they gave free image-polishing airtime to a leading presidential candidate.

They did, and they’ll be hard pressed to offer anything like the equivalent to that still massive group of Republican hopefuls, although I think we all look forward to walk ons from Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham. Meanwhile, the only time Trump’s presence boosted the show a notch was in a better than average Drunk Uncle sketch, which hinged on Bobby Moynihan’s character being a Trump supporter. Getting a line about Trump and Drunk Uncle both loving white Russians hardly seems worth the fuss.

film are just as relevant today’

KRISTIN TILLOTSON | Star Tribune

Carey Mulligan laughs. Then sighs, then laughs again.

The star of “Suffragette” is reacting to being told that, superimposed over a short online video she made on feminism, a pop-up ad reads “The No. 1 reason men pull away!

The biggest mistake women make to kill a man’s attraction!”

“That’s so funny,” said Mulligan, who plays Maud Watts, a young working-class mother caught up in the women’s right-to-vote movement in 1920s London.

“Especially when we’re talking about a film like this. I have to think of that kind of thing as white noise.”

Mulligan’s film career was auspiciously launched six years ago with the well-received 1960s coming-of-age tale “An Education.” Since then she has played Daisy Buchanan opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Great Gatsby” and a folk singer married to Justin Timberlake in the Coen brothers’ “Inside Llewyn Davis.”

Maud, who must convincingly evolve from a nondescript laundry worker to a firebrand activist, could be her most challenging role to date.

“One big reason I was drawn to this project is that she’s a completely ordinary woman who finds a voice through these other women and becomes extraordinary,” she said. “So many stories are about people who already are extraordinary. This woman, you see her as she’s going through the process of being radicalized.”

“Suffragette” also features veteran actors including Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter, but it’s really Mulligan’s picture to make or break. Did she feel that kind of pressure during shooting?

“No, it really felt like an ensemble to me,” she said. “Except when I was in a prison cell, alone.”

She recalls the suffrage movement as being little more than a footnote in history class, and learned a lot while making the movie about all the attempts to quell the women’s efforts that went on behind the scenes.

“I had no idea they were forcefed like that in prison; that was shocking,” she said. “And they only released the full private information on all the surveillance in 2003. The authorities felt threatened enough by these women to spy on them.”

Although she hails from a generation known for taking equal rights for granted, Mulligan said she’s “proud to be a feminist.”

She was also tickled to work with Streep, who plays suffrage leader Emmeline Pankhurst.

“We only had two days together, but she blew everyone away,” Mulligan said.

“There was a buzz building up the day she was coming.

Everyone was giddy. They turned the family room of the house we were shooting in into sort of a green room, and everyone was sitting on the sofa like little kids in kindergarten, with our faces in our hands, staring at her while she told stories. Kind of pathetic, but that’s just the way people feel about her.”

Scouting the Saints, Falcons and Rattlers SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

SIU men’s basketball opens the 2015-16 season this week with three games at SIU Arena.

7 p.m. Monday versus Maryville University (Exhibition Game) The Saints had seven 10game starters last season with four returning. Two of the three graduates were leading scorers on last year’s team.

Sophomore guard Forrester Sims and senior guard Derek Deters shot better than 42 percent from three-point range.

Maryville finished 12-17 last season in Division II, and SIU may be able to try different looks before the regular season begins.

7 p.m. Saturday versus Air Force This is the Salukis’ game in the Mountain West/Missouri Valley Conference Challenge.

Four players on the 22-man roster are taller than 6-foot-7 and none of them played more than 10 minutes a game last year.

Junior forward Joe Tuss, who missed last season because of injury, will be the tallest Falcon starter at 6-foot-8.

With limited size, the Falcons play a technical game focusing on passing and quality shots. The team averaged 15 assists per game and shot 53.9 percent from two-point range, which was 12th in the nation.

SIU had 8.3 assists per game. The Salukis shot 44.3 percent from twopoint range, which ranked 306th out

of 351 in the nation last season.

Three starters return for the Falcons. Junior guard Zach Kocur averaged 8.7 points per game last year and shot 48 percent from three-point range.

3 p.m. Sunday vs. Florida A&M

This game could possibly be the easiest test the Salukis face all year.

The Rattlers finished 2-28 last year and their top two scorers — junior guard Jermaine Ruttley and freshman guard Jorge Rosa — transferred in the offseason.

Of 351 Division I teams, Florida A&M ranked 349th with 55.4 points per game and 348th with 8.3 assists per game and a .373 field goal percentage. The Rattlers were 302nd with 31.5 rebounds per game.

Florida A&M ranked 316th with

72.9 points allowed per game.

SIU averaged 59.6 points per game last season and ranked 324th.

The preseason KenPom — a metricsbased college basketball ranking website — ratings have the Rattlers at secondto-last in the country.

Salukis’ close losses are not a positive SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

SIU football has lost six games by a combined score of 17 points, all by a touchdown or less, but Saluki fans should be asking if this is a good thing.

Good: SIU has been competitive in every game so far this season. Bad: The team does not have the complete game needed to win.

“We’re playing hard; we’re giving ourselves a chance,” coach Dale Lennon said after Saturday’s 34-31 loss to South Dakota. “We’re just not able to do it.”

There’s a common theme to almost every loss. In five of the losses, Saluki offense had multiple turnovers. The Salukis had more than 65 penalty yards in five losses. Four losses featured an SIU missed or blocked field goal. SIU’s defense allowed 500 or more yards in four of the losses.

Fixing any of these problems would have resulted in more wins. Instead, the Salukis continue making the same mistakes.

Saturday’s loss had nearly all these factors. The Salukis had four turnovers, 75 penalty yards and the potential game-tying

field goal was blocked.

The team is young and missing players in most position groups because of injuries.

But, this team knows how to win.

They shut down highly-touted, thenNo. 10 Liberty holding their offense

to 368 yards and 13 points. They then scored 11 points in five minutes against Youngstown State’s top-ranked Missouri Valley Football Conference defense before winning in overtime.

The team will have to emphasize holding onto the ball next season.

SIU has turned the ball over 20 times in nine games and has generated 12. The -8 turnover margin ranks 105th of 123 teams in the Football Championship Subdivision and is the worst in the MVFC. An entire offseason will seem like an eternity to fix all the problems, but the team will likely be better next season.

The team will be a year older, and hopefully a year wiser, with a majority of the starters returning. In addition, the team should be hungry to rectify past mistakes.

With the playoffs and conference championship outside the realm of the reality this season, the focus of the final two games might shift to ending the season on a positive note.

Momentum at the end of the season can carry into the offseason, and the offseason needs to becomes the team’s time to rectify its wrongs.
