Sexual assault activist’s demand change from university SHANNON ALLEN @ShannonAllen_DE

SIUC students and community activists are working to reopen a sexual assault case that occurred in August.

Robyn Del Campo, a freshman from Bloomingdale studying physical education, reported she was sexually assaulted a week and a half into the school year. She said after completing an investigation, the university determined there was not enough evidence to convict her attacker.

On Wednesday, several people met at the Flyover Info Shop to write letters to administration regarding the case, which they believe was not thoroughly investigated.

Del Campo said SIU did not use her rape kit from the hospital or interview her friends who gave statements to police the night of the assault.

Casey Parker, coordinator of the Office of Equity and Diversity, investigated on Del Campo’s case.

Because of this, Del Campo said she is writing her letter to Parker.

“Casey Parker needs to know exactly how I’m feeling,” Del Campo said.

The Consent Party, a Carbondale group that aims to end sexual assault, reached out to Del Campo about her assault.

“The university is acting to protect itself,” said Amanda Braden, Consent Party member and event organizer. “I get that it’s an institution and it should protect itself, but it also needs to protect its students.”

The letter-writers are addressing interim chancellor Brad Colwell; Casey Parker, coordinator of the Office of Diversity and Equity; Chad Trissler, director of Student Rights and

Aidan Osborne | @AidentOsborne_DE Matt Krawcyk, left, a freshman from Bloomington-Normal studying french education, and Robyn Del Campo, a freshman from Bloomingdale studying physical education, write letters to members of the university administration regarding the current sexual assault policies Wednesday at the Flyover Infoshop in Carbondale.

Del Campo said she was sexually assaulted on Aug. 28 and believes her case was not properly investigated by SIU. Krawcyk said Robyn is not his only friend to be sexually assaulted, and he attended the event to support all of his friends who are victims of sexual assault. “It’s almost normalized, because we are desensitized to the sexual violence and sexual assault that occurs,” Krawcyk said. “I want it to stop, especially here at SIU.”

Responsibilities; and Linda Smith, the university Title IX compliance coordinator, according to Braden.

Braden said Colwell is most likely to act on their concerns expressed in the letters because he was named one of the top-30 most influential educational deans

by Mometrix Test Preparation. However, Braden said her purpose of writing to Parker and Smith is to “scare them.”

“I want them to know people are watching,” Braden said. “They have eyes on them now, so every step they take forward, they will have to deliberate

very carefully.”

Katie Wagner, a member of the Consent Party, said since her father works for the university, she has seen how SIU has brought culture and education to Carbondale. But, that culture has been tarnished by the

university’s neglect to follow policies.

“I used to love and respect SIU, it was what fed us,” Wagner said. “Now it’s dirty and I’m not proud of it anymore.”

Paris attacks hit home for SIUC students SIU fraternities donate CORY RAY | @coryray_de

Some students in Carbondale are feeling personal effects of last week’s Paris terrorist attacks, and two recall reaching out to family members in the area after the attack.

Warrys Akadiri, an undeclared freshman from Paris, France, was worried about his family when he first heard of Friday’s attacks.

Akadiri called his family the day following the attacks, but he did not hear from them for three days.

“They called me, and they told me they’re fine because [the attacks] didn’t really go to their area,” Akadiri said. “I also feel bad, though, because it’s where I’m from, so it’s kind of hard.”

Three bombings occurred outside of Stade de France during a soccer match between France and Germany. Akadiri said he had been to the stadium and near the areas attacked many times.

According to The New York Times, 129 people were killed on Friday at multiple locations, including 89 people killed at the

Bataclan concert hall.

Akadiri said his family has felt a mixture of both worry and gratitude. He plans to travel to Paris this summer, as he does every year.

“I still love the atmosphere,” Akadiri said. “I still love everything [about the city].”

Rashad Nageeb, a graduate student in mechanical engineering from Saudi Arabia, said he has experienced many of the same fears, in addition to receiving hateful speech.

“I freaked out because I have a family member over there,” Nageeb said. “I called my cousin ... for like six hours trying to reach him. He didn’t answer, didn’t do anything. I freaked out.

It was like, I need to make sure he’s okay.”

Nageeb managed to get a hold of his cousin — who was unharmed — but said initially hearing about the attacks was scary.

After praying, Nageeb was verbally attacked for his Islamic beliefs by a group of people who

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

told him Muslim people are the reason for the attacks.

“I usually don’t get offended, but it hit that nerve,” Nageeb said.

“For someone to come in front of you ... and just start talking about your beliefs, your family, your people, it just hurt me a little bit.”

Nageeb said he commonly receives similar reactions to his beliefs.

“It’s happened to me on a daily basis sometimes,” Nageeb said.

“Every year on 9/11, people come and stop to talk to me.”

However, Nageeb said his religion and peaceful followers should not be condemned for the radical actions of a few who claim that doctrine.

“Our religion itself is not violent,” Nageeb said. “Whether Islam, Jewish, Christian, whatever.

It’s the people who are violent.

Being from that religion doesn’t mean that religion told you to do bad things.”

presents to children SHANNON ALLEN @ShannonAllen_DE

Kids from all over the world will open presents from fraternities this Christmas.

Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Tau Omega are donating toys, hygiene products and clothing to underprivileged children from southern Illinois and countries such as the Ukraine, Serbia, Romania and Belarus.

Last year, Beta Theta Pi teamed up with the Marine Corps Reserve in a Toys for Tots Drive to donate toys to more than 1,172 children in Carbondale and more than 3,000 in southern Illinois, according to JK Brandon, risk management chair of Beta Theta Pi. “Toys for Tots affects our community directly,” said Brandon, a junior from Buffalo Grove studying psychology. “It’s an excellent program founded by the

Marines, and it’s a fantastic way to get involved with the community.”

Brandon said drop-off boxes are in Morris Library and donations will be collected until Dec. 12.

Alpha Tau Omega partnered with Samaritan’s Purse for its second annual Operation Christmas Child on Wednesday.

Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization that “provides spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world,” according to its website.

Operation Christmas Child donates gift-filled shoeboxes to children affected by war, poverty, natural disasters and other crises in various countries.

Last year, ATO donated $500 and raised more than $12,000 to send 165 boxes to these countries, according to Kohl Lamb, organizer of the project and member of ATO. Please see TOYS | 3

BILL LUKITSCH | @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

Governors from 31 states around the country — including Gov. Bruce Rauner — have announced suspensions of the admission of Syrian refugees prompted by the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people.

A statement issued by Rauner on Monday pointed to finding “a way to balance our tradition as a state welcoming of refugees while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens” and said the state will consider all legal options “pending a full review of our country’s acceptance and security processes by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”

The statement echoes similar concerns by the governors of other states around the country.

Human rights advocacy groups and some members of the media have criticized governors for suspending programs on the grounds that possible terrorists may enter the country masquerading as Syrian refugees.

As of Wednesday, all of the Paris

attackers have been identified as European nationals, according to European Union officials.

But Cindy Buys, a professor at SIUC who specializes in immigration law, says governors do not have the legal ability to close their borders to Syrian refugees.

While federal law empowers governors with the responsibility of administering refugee programs in their respective states, the United States Refugee Act of 1980 designates the president with making determinations regarding the number of refugees who may enter the country.

Since the governors of the 19 remaining states have said they will accept Syrian refugees, Buys said there is not much Rauner or other state governors can do to prevent refugees from entering Illinois without a national uniform policy.

“It’s not very effective for individual governors to say ‘I don’t want them in my state because they can settle next door in another state and come into

Illinois anyway,” Buys said.

A Syrian family of five moved to Chicago on Wednesday with assistance from Exodus World Service, a non-profit organization based in Bloomington, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Rauner’s policy inspired activist Cheyanne Lovellette, a graduate student in linguistics, to launch a Change.org petition asking fellow Illinoisans to support Syrian refugees who wish to move to the state.

“As a citizen of the United States and specifically the state of Illinois, I believe Gov. Rauner’s statement goes against the very essence of who we are as a state and as a nation,” Lovellette wrote on the webpage.

“I do not support Gov. Rauner’s decision to speak for the people of Illinois on this issue with such fear and hatred.”

College students find new power in campus protests THOMAS CURWEN, JASON SONG AND LARRY GORDON LOS ANGELES TIMES

If the University of Missouri was the spark, then the fire didn’t take long to spread.

Since the resignation of its president and chancellor Nov. 10, protesters have organized at more than 100 colleges and universities nationwide. Social media sites have lighted up with voices of dissent, and what began as a grievance has evolved into a movement.

Inspired by the marches in Ferguson, Mo., and Black Lives Matter, students are taking to social media to question the institutions they once approached for answers.

Calling for racial and social reforms on their campuses, they are borrowing tactics of the past _ hunger strikes, sit-ins and lists of demands _ and have found a collective voice to address their frustrations, hurt and rage.

Their actions seem to have hit the mark.

Last week, the dean of students at Claremont McKenna College left the university after students protested her comments to a Latina student with the offer to work for those who “don’t fit our CMC mold.”

Tuesday night, Jonathan Veitch, the president of Occidental College, said he and other administrators were open to considering a list of 14 reforms, including the creation of a black studies major and more diversity training, that student protesters had drawn up.

Students at the University of Southern California have similarly proposed a campuswide action plan, which includes the appointment of a top administrator to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

Nationwide, complaints of racism and microaggression are feeding Facebook pages and websites at Harvard, Brown, Columbia and Willamette universities, as well as at Oberlin, Dartmouth and Swarthmore colleges.

Protesters at Ithaca College staged a walkout to demand the president’s resignation, and Peter Salovey, president of Yale University, announced a number of steps, including the appointment of a deputy dean of diversity, to work toward “a better, more diverse, and more inclusive Yale.”

For decades, students have helped drive social change in America, if not the world. Campuses, said University of California President Janet Napolitano, have “historically been places where social issues in the United States are raised and where many voices are heard.”

“We have all had the privilege of receiving gifts on Christmas our whole lives,” said Lamb, a junior from Ottawa studying aviation flight and management. “It feels right to give to children who have never had that opportunity to open something new for the first time.”

This year, ATO donated $750 to buy 700 items for children, according to Nolan McConnell, a junior from Bourbonnais studying computer science and incoming president of ATO. “Kids having presents to open on Christmas morning is important,” McConnell said.

“I’m glad to be a part of that.”

What’s wrong with policing campus speech CHICAGO TRIBUNE

This summer, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon signed into law the Campus Free Expression Act, which prohibits the state’s universities from restricting student protests to designated “free speech zones.”

The law declares campuses a “traditional public forum” and guarantees students the right to express themselves freely on any outdoor space.

In recent weeks, as tensions mounted over a series of racial incidents in and around Mizzou, a group of student activists erected a tent city on Carnahan Quadrangle.

So far, so good.

Then they planted a sign declaring their campsite a media-free zone.

So when their exercise of free speech caused the university president and chancellor to resign, the students sullied that victory by trying to chase reporters from that public forum. Yes, they’re a little unclear on the concept of the First Amendment.

There’s a lot of that going around.

American universities, traditionally bastions of free speech, have taken a discouraging turn toward policing and even silencing forms of expression that might make students uncomfortable.

Last month at Yale, an intercultural affairs committee email cautioned students not to wear Halloween costumes that could be perceived as insensitive toward women, minorities, religious faiths or socioeconomic groups. (What’s left?)

The committee members had the

right to raise those concerns. First Amendment, remember? But when a pair of administrators suggested the university shouldn’t tell people how to dress — First Amendment again — they were pilloried by students.

During an hourslong confrontation captured on video, one student argued that by pushing back against the Halloween police, the administrators failed to “create a place of comfort and home” for students.

“It is not about creating an intellectual space!” the student shouted.

At UCLA, some students demanded that administrators punish partygoers who wore offensive

costumes to a Kanye West-themed party hosted by campus Greek organizations.

Students have demanded that instructors be fired and commencement speakers be disinvited. They’ve filed Title IX gender discrimination complaints against professors over the content of their research. They’ve complained about buildings named after the rich white men who paid for them.

Shielding students from thoughts they might find objectionable is the opposite of what college is supposed to be about. But many universities have gone out of their

way to accommodate those delicate sensibilities.

The University of California system has devoted months to educating its faculty on “microaggressions,” defined as “everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”

Those land mines include using the pronoun “he” in a gender-neutral context or mispronouncing non-English sounding names. Saying “America is the

land of opportunity” suggests that those who don’t succeed are lazy. Asking a student “Where are you from?” suggests they aren’t a true American.

Some universities have directed instructors to correct (or report) each other for such utterances. Schools encourage students to report hurtful speech to online forums or even to campus police, who will forward the complaints to the administration for possible disciplinary action.

At some colleges, teachers are advised to alert students if an assignment contains provocative material that could trigger a strong emotional response. The lists of potential “triggers” goes beyond sexual and racial violence to include misogyny, classism and privilege.

Some students have even complained about being traumatized by subject matter that wasn’t flagged with a “trigger warning.”

All of this creates an environment in which seemingly fragile young adults are allowed and enabled to avoid troubling thoughts, and the people who are supposed to be educating those students are required to second-guess their every word.

Four years of that will do nothing to prepare students to run the world.

Freshman orientation should include an all-purpose trigger warning: This curriculum may contain material that some may consider racist, sexist, genderphobic, graphic, tasteless, politically incorrect or otherwise offensive. You can handle it.

Students are supposed to come to college to be exposed to challenging ideas, not be protected from them.

‘Moliere than Thou’ contemporizes Moliere Jacob Pierce |@JacobPierce1_De

Classical writing can be difficult to understand, but a former SIU student is trying to make one playwright more comprehendible.

Timothy Mooney, a 1977 university alumnus, will present his one-man show “Moliere than Thou” at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 in the McLeod Theater. The show takes several characters of Moliere, a comedic French actor and playwright of the 17th century, and exhibits the wit and hilarity that characterized much of the artist’s work.

Moliere, whose real name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, wrote plays such as “Tartuffe” and “The Imaginary Invalid,” which continue to be shown across the world.

Mooney, an actor and playwright from Arlington Heights, began the process while being the artistic director of Chicago’s Stage Two Theatre Company. As a fan of Moliere, Mooney said he wanted to do his own adaptation of “Tartuffe.”

“I had a real vision of what that play was and the language surrounding it,” Mooney said.

In four years he created about a dozen versions of Moliere productions, all of which he took around the country.

Mooney would travel to lecture about his company’s shows.

However, one group he spoke to did not want a lecture — they wanted a production. Because he knew monologues from Moliere, he put together a one-man show of characters and history of the playwright.

He said Moliere is a relatable and funny writer. Mooney aims to make Moliere and his work easily understood.

“If I do my job right, it will be every bit as funny as “Saturday Night Live” or “The Colbert Report” had been,” Mooney said.

Christian H. Moe, a retired professor from the theater department, agrees, saying he represented the playwright wonderfully.

“His aim is to make them associable to young college students,” said Moe, who has a theater in the department named after him.

Moe, who retired in 1996,

taught Mooney, during their time at the university.

He remembers him as a good actor and student, and an even better leader.

He saw Mooney in a production of “Tartuffe” at a dinner theater before the current SIU show, Moe said. The actor keeps the plot and iambic pentameter together, while also making it understandable.

“I think he is a fine example of a theater graduate who went on and made a living in a difficult profession,” he said.

Susan Patrick Benson, a voice and speech associate professor, said Mooney bringing his oneman show to SIU is important for the theater students, especially those who will be in the department’s spring production of “Tartuffe.”

“They will get to see how the whole package comes across,” she said. “It gives our students a chance to step back in history.”

The show involves specific iambic speech and various costumes such as large heels and wigs. This gives students a chance to work with different ideas, an aspect they might do later in their career, Benson said.

While the play is spoken in rhyming couplets, and is different from a modern drama, it’s still timeless and has visible truth today, Benson said.

The story is about the titular “Tartuffe,” an impostor posing as a religious leader. He goes into the home of Orgon, who is unable to see the charlatan’s tricks.”Tartuffe” starts to take over and the house devolves into anarchy.

It shows an idea that is still relevant, she said. If a person allows anyone but himself or herself, like churches and governments, to run their lives, chaos will ensue.

“People very readily turn over their power to the religious doctrine and government,” Benson said.

“Moliere than Thou” is free and open to anyone. The funding for the event came from the SIU Fine Arts Activity Fee. Jacob Pierce can be reached at 536-3325 or JPierce@dailyegyptian.com.

Gameplay from “Fallout 4”

‘Fallout 4’ is a vault of incredible game design Grant Meyer | @GrantMeyerDe

Who would have thought a nuclear holocaust’s wasteland was so much fun to play in.

Bethesda Game Studios made yet another incredible game in “Fallout 4,” their second entry in the long-running post-apocalyptic series.

“Fallout 4” takes place in 2287, 200 years after humanity desecrated earth with nuclear weapons. Players customize their character and are sent on a journey to rescue their captured son from a mysterious organization in the ravaged remains of Boston. However, you play the game for the exploration and character progression, and they are as strong as ever.

Bethesda Game Studios is the best at creating open world environments and “Fallout 4” is no exception. Players can look up at the horizon and see a structure or landmark they can travel to and explore, providing countless hours of gameplay. The map is dense with buildings, caves and towns, which are all worth the time to seek out creating the epitome of open world game design.

This exploration is accompanied by a flexible firstperson shooter system. The game’s traditional route is to use V.A.T.S., a system that slows time and allows players to target enemies’ specific body parts, giving players more strategic combat options. However, the core shooting mechanics have been greatly improved since “Fallout 3” and can be a viable alternative to using V.A.T.S. Most players will use a combination of the two.

Building up settlements is the biggest change to the series.

Players can unlock various outposts and towns across the game and can be populated with settlers and characters found on their travels. Furthermore, each settlement allows the player to build homes, generate food and provide defense from invaders, creating a miniature real-time strategy game.

While a great idea for the series, it does not quite reach the depth it could have. Settlements are limited in size, maxing out at only 20 settlers. The interface of building a town is not as user friendly as it could be. Basic convenience aspects such as an undo button are absent.

Furthermore, the game frustratingly forces players to build using the game’s first-person and third-person camera angles. A bird’s eye view, such as in “The Sims,” would be superior for the building portions of gameplay. These are not game breaking, but it makes the settlements feature more tedious than it should have been. Despite this, the idea is perfect for a Bethesda-style open world game. It helps immerse the player even more in the world and generates even more reasons to explore every nook and cranny.

An improved feature is the companion system. While companions are not necessary to play, they do provide benefits when accompanying the player. The best thing about companions is their deep backstories players can discover by earning the companion’s trust. Each story is interesting and makes you understand them even more.

Upon reaching maximum trust with a companion, players receive a permanent perk which makes them more powerful.

Overall, it is a huge improvement over previous iterations.

Customizing weapons is also more fleshed out. Each weapon and armor piece can be modified or enhanced using resources found in the environments. This is great and gives players more options to fit their individual play styles.

The conversation system has received an overhaul. In older entries the player’s character was mute, but in “Fallout 4” they are given a voice. This is controversial, because players may prefer the previous style of a voiceless protagonist.

Overall, the voice work is done well and the game is not any better or worse because of it.

Previous players of Bethesda games will feel right at home playing “Fallout 4,” but it suffers from having a significant learning curve. This is not helped by a lack of tutorials provided to players, which are usually just vague on-screen pop-ups.

Players must learn many aspects of the game on their own.

Ultimately, “Fallout 4” is another incredible achievement for Bethesda Game Studios and, as expected, this game is massive and consumers can easily spend 100 or more hours exploring and leveling up in the game’s world. This game defines getting your money’s worth.

SIU cross-country coach leaves, interim coach named BRENT MESKE | @brentmeskeDE

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Senior guard Anthony Beane attempts a basket during SIU’s 72-69 win against Kent State on Wednesday at SIU Arena.

Beane scored 32 points during the game.

SIU basketball begins season 3-0 EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

The SIU men’s basketball team (3-0) beat the Kent State Golden Flashes (1-1) 72-69 Wednesday night at SIU Arena.

The Salukis are now 3-0 for the first time since 2012 behind senior guard Anthony Beane’s 32 points, which tied for his career high.

Kent State started three players taller than 6-foot 7-inch SIU junior center Bola Olaiyan.

SIU was out-rebounded 43-32 in the game.

“Very seldom do you win a game when you get out rebounded like we did,” coach Barry Hinson said. “In the Missouri Valley [Conference] we will never play a team with a front line like that.”

Kent State forced a tie once in the game when the score was 2323 with 4:30 left in the first half, but never led.

Beane opened scoring with the first five points for the Salukis, and seven of the Salukis’ first 13 points.

The SIU defense kept the Golden Flashes off the scoreboard for more than three minutes, and started the game on a 10-2 run in the first four minutes.

The teams combined for 10 total fouls in the first seven minutes of the game. Kent State was in the bonus with just more than nine minutes to play in the first half. The Salukis’ weren’t far behind — a minute later, SIU was in the bonus.

Both teams had 10 fouls with more than five minutes to play in the first half. They finished the half with 24 total fouls: 13 for SIU and 11 for Kent State.

SIU shot 50 percent from the field in the first half including

David Beauchem, SIU cross-country coach and distance coach for the track and field team, left the Salukis at the end of the cross-country season to become the Director of Track and Field Operations at Florida State.

Gary Holda, former track and field coach at Carbondale Community High School and SIU alumnus, will serve as a volunteer interim coach while track and field coach Kathleen Raske searches for a permanent coach.

Athletic Director Tommy Bell said Beauchem took the job during the Saluki cross-country season but finished the season under contract.

Beauchem began coaching at SIU, his alma mater, in 2014. He earned his master’s degree at Florida State in 1993 and served as a graduate assistant for the track and field team from 1991-93 with the Seminoles.

Senior Oscar Medina said the team was told of his contract offer before the season and were informed of the official move right after the season.

Bell neither confirmed nor denied if Holda is being considered for the position, but said they are pursuing three scenarios. He said the hiring is up to Raske.

Medina said former SIU distance runner Lucas Cherry will serve as an assistant volunteer coach to Holda who graduated in 2013.

“He’s a friend for us more than a coach,” he said. “It feels safe knowing he is there.”

Holda was a two-time All-Missouri Valley Conference runner in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and was named to the MVC Elite-18 twice.

Medina said Raske is searching for a coach with a five-year minimum contract, but does not think it will happen during the season. He said junior Brandon Shemonia and himself will try to help the younger runners, like they did for the cross-country season.

“It wont be a huge change,” Medina said. “We’re blessed to have [Holda and Cherry] here. … it shows how close the SIU family really is.”

Beauchem was the only remaining coach to serve under Connie Price-Smith after she left SIU for Ole Miss in July and the remainder of the staff followed. He also served as the CCHS track and field coach in 1991.

The Salukis begin the indoor track and field season Dec. 5 at the Saluki Fast Start at the Recreation Center.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Junior center Bola Olaniyan attempts a basket during SIU’s 72-69 win against Kent State on Wednesday at SIU Arena. Olaniyan scored seven points and fouled out of Wednesday’s game.

three for eight from behind the three-point arc.

Beane played all 20 minutes in the first half, leading the Salukis with 15 points and no personal fouls.

“I just took what the defense gave me, and what happened, happened,” Beane said. “We’re 3-0, it’s a great feeling, but you can’t be satisfied.”

Olaniyan fouled out with 5:25 left in the game and junior forward Sean O’Brien fouled out with eight seconds remaining.

With two minutes left, a stepback jumper for Beane gave

him 32 points on the night and extended the SIU lead to 72-66.

Beane finished the night with a team-leading 32 points, eight rebounds in 39 minutes.

A buzzer-beating attempt was thrown up from the corner by junior guard Kellon Thomas to possibly tie the game and force an overtime, but the shot missed.

Saturday in Huntsville, Texas.

While a 3-7 overall record and 2-5 Missouri Valley Football Conference record leaves the SIU football team out of the running for the conference title or a playoff spot, the team still has something to play for.

Players mentioned pride as a driving force behind the team in this final week of the season.

“We’ve just got to finish strong,” senior safety Anthony Thompson said.

SIU coach Dale Lennon has said all year every week is a season. The Dawgs go on the road to face No. 15 Northern Iowa (4-3, 6-4) at 4 p.m. Saturday in the team’s quest to be undefeated in the 11th “season” of the year.

“The goal every week is to go 1-0,” junior outside linebacker Leonard Garron said. “I think everybody’s got the right mentality. Everybody came in and had a good Sunday, so we had a good start to the week.”

Northern Iowa is tied for fourth in the MVFC with Western Illinois. The Leathernecks hold the tiebreaker over the Panthers on the strength of a 24-19 win Oct. 17, but UNI is projected to be in the Football Championship Subdivision playoff field by FCS Bracketologist George Hammond.

A win Saturday would tie Northern Iowa with South Dakota State and WIU for third if South Dakota loses to WIU on Saturday.

A loss could put UNI in a four-way tie for fourth place in the Valley at 4-4, and at the mercy of a tiebreaker with Youngstown State.

Senior quarterback Mark Iannotti said this week’s game can set next season’s tone for returning players.

“If we throw in the towel and quit now, that’s the message that we’re sending to these younger guys,” Iannotti said. “So we definitely have to go out there, finish strong and set the tone that Saluki football players are tough.”

Statistically, Iannotti could increase the school record for total offense in a single season Saturday. His 3,587 yards are also an MVFC record, and even if he does not record a single yard Saturday, he will still finish 2015 with the best per-game average in Valley history.

If Iannotti throws for 69 yards, he will become the 15th player in MVFC history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season and the sixth to do so in fewer than 12 games.

He also needs 245 yards to break the SIU record for most passing yards in a season, set by current co-offensive coordinator Nick Hill in 2007. Iannotti broke Hill’s single-season total offense record Saturday.

The Salukis have lost three straight games and four of their last five. Their Nov. 7 34-31 loss at South Dakota dropped them to 3-6 overall, assuring them of the program’s first losing record since 2011. That year, SIU finished 4-7, 2-6 and tied for seventh in the conference.

2011 and 2015 have been Lennon’s only losing seasons at SIU and two of four in his 18-year career.
