Geology student connects shale research to politics CORY RAY | @coryray_de

Geology student Kailey Zalucha came to SIU for science and lab research; now, she’s taking her lab work into the world of politics.

Zalucha, a senior from Bloomington-Normal, studies a type of rock in the oil industry for fracking, a drilling process used to extract oil and gas from the ground. “I really want to better understand the politics, the economics and the environmental impacts that what I’m [researching] has on the world around me,�

Zalucha said.

She said after taking an environmental economics class, which focuses on laws and public policy on environmental procedures, she wanted to know what happened after she finished her research. “It inspired me to take what I was doing a step further,� she said.

For a year, Zalucha has analyzed, polished and blasted light onto a type of rock called shale in an attempt to see if they may be able to release oil and gas.

Those shales can contain bits of wood from trees, and when Zalucha shines a white light off of her samples, she can measure the reflectance of compounds in the woods that bounce that light back.

From there, she can determine if that shale could potentially release oil or gas as wood — like all living organisms — contains large amounts of carbon needed to produce the substances.

Zalucha said she’s already spoken with Republican Senator Jason Barickman about how Illinois lawmakers pass fracking laws.

Those processes can be tightly regulated, not only by state laws, but by local laws as well, she said.

Zalucha said the controversial practice has a lot of checkpoints it must pass through before it is permitted.

The state’s first fracking permit was issued in September, according to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. A November article by the Chicago Tribune, however, reported the company with the permit wouldn’t move forward with fracking because “burdensome and costly� regulations. “I think it’s important that we help bridge the gap between scientists, politicians, economists and the public,� Zalucha said. “Personally, I want to help connect those things to better understand it.�

Zalucha specifically looks at the New Albany Shale, a type of rock that is found in the Illinois Basin,

“I think it’s important that we help bridge the gap between scientists, politicians, economists and the public. Personally, I want to help connect those things to better understand it.�

- Kailey Zalucha senior

which covers southern Illinois as well as portions of Kentucky and Indiana.

Her mentor, geology professor Sue Zimmer, said their findings show their target areas may not have a high potential to recover oil or gas. “They are fracking targets, both in the Appalachian Basin and here,� Zimmer said. “The kind of work that Kailey is doing is helping us to refine what we call the maturation level, which means if you put a well into it, would it produce oil? Would it produce gas?�

Zimmer, has been studying shales for over three decades, and in addition to Zalucha, she works with three graduate students.

Zalucha will graduate this semester, but she said she’s applied to SIU to work toward her masters degree while in Zimmer’s lab.

In the meantime, she said she’s working to speak with more lawmakers about creating fracking policies. “I’ve found that the more questions I have answered, the more questions I have overall,� she said.

Reactions again mixed over second draft of Montemagno’s academic reorganization CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE

Chancellor Carlo Montemagno released the second draft of his academic reorganization plan Nov. 17 with changes to reflect the feedback members of the campus community gave the first draft.

Though some say the new draft is better than its predecessor, others say the newest version still misses the mark.

Major changes in the second draft include a year-long deferral of any decision to keep or eliminate the Africana studies major, the inclusion of political science into the School of Homeland Security and the shift of zoology to another school within the same college.

The plan still includes the elimination of all 42 academic departments on campus and their chairs, an aspect that students and faculty have criticized. Instead of department chairs, a director would oversee multiple programs under the restructuring proposal.

SIU political science professor Virginia Tilley said it is inappropriate for the chancellor

to house political science in the same school as his proposed police academy, now called the Public Safety Institute.

“It’s not the job of political science to train people to do homeland security,” Tilley said.

She said the move would suggest homeland security is the principal goal of the program, and it could even “compromise the legitimacy” of research being conducted by political science professors.

Tilley said she would support the creation of program in homeland security where interested political science professors could participate.

Ray Walden IV, an alumnus from Berwyn who studied history, said he thinks Montemagno’s reorganization plan is the best course of action available to the university.

Although Walden said he believes the proposed school system will benefit SIU overall, he said he does see the potential for damage to some programs, especially smaller ones.

“I want the best for the school because it is my alma mater,”

Walden said, noting bigger programs will likely not experience any major changes.

Walden, who minored in political science, said while he believes the program would be better suited in the proposed social sciences school, students in political science could still benefit from being in the School of Homeland Security.

“I like the idea of it, because they’re trying to make another reason for students to come into SIU,” he said. “Whether it be in the legal form or whether it be from politics, because unfortunately post9/11, that is a big part of politics.”

Walden said the best move Montemagno could make with political science would be placing it in the same school as criminology and criminal justice.

Garrett Watts, a junior from Bloomington studying civil engineering, said the elimination of departments makes sense because it will cut costs.

“I understand right now SIU is strapped for cash,” Watts said. “The reality is that somewhere costs need to be cut.”

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz Chancellor Carlo Montemagno speaks about shared governance at the university Aug. 28 in Anthony Hall. "Shared governance is power – it provides the ability for access," Montemagno said. "You're looking at over 20,000 minds – that can be smarter than me and my cabinet."

Montemagno says the reorganization will save the university $2.3 million, which is a little over 1 percent of SIUC’s fiscal year 2018 total general operating budget, according to a budget document released by the Board of Trustees.

Walden said he’s noticed the chancellor has not been receptive to major changes in his plan, despite the chancellor’s repeated calls for shared governance.

“He’s only listening to the people that are agreeing with him or the people who are going along with him but have a few minor changes,” Walden said.

Montemagno has refuted this claim, saying he and his team have sifted through roughly 3,000 feedback responses and spoken to multiple professors and students on campus to ask for input.

One area in which Walden said Montemagno has listened to student input is in the deferral of the decision on whether or not

to eliminate the Africana studies major. It is, however, one of the programs Walden said he worries could struggle under the new school system.

Montemagno’s department elimination plan is currently being opposed by Faculty Senate, the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Undergraduate Student Government.

USG voted to formally oppose the plan in order to represent undergraduate concerns senators said they have heard around campus and to have “a seat at the table,” said USG Executive Vice President Emily Buice.

According to the Vision 2025 Survey, formal feedback is only being accepted from the Faculty Senate and Graduate Council, not from USG or GPSC. Staff writer Cory Ray can be reached at cray@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @coryray_de.

Students say GOP tax bill is ‘ridiculous,’ ‘devastating’ for higher education AMELIA BLAKELY | @AmeilaBlakely

After House and Senate Republicans passed sweeping tax legislation last week, some graduate students say they are worried the new laws will make them unable to continue receiving their educations.

Trisha Crawshaw, a graduate student in sociology, is one of these. The GOP tax rewrite, she said, could be devastating for her.

“I don’t know how I would [get] groceries, pay bills, pay my rent, feed my dog,” Crawshaw said. “These things that seem maybe easy to other people are things that are actually jeopardizing me.”

The Senate bill passed Friday and, much like the House bill that passed last month, it had no public hearings.

Senators — mostly Democratic ones — complained that the process was rushed, that they didn’t have time to read the almost 500-page bill and that handwritten, last-minute amendments were confusing and sloppy.

Because House and Senate Republicans passed different bills, the differences between the two must now be reconciled. Of particular concern to students is a provision in the House bill that strips many tax benefits for those obtaining undergraduate or graduate degrees or those in the process of paying off student loans.

Crawshaw, a first generation student, said this will make it harder for lowincome students — who she said are already underrepresented on campuses — to pursue advanced degrees.

“We have been excluded for the production of knowledge,” Crawshaw said. “That’s why this tax bill disgusts me, because it continues to perpetuate this idea that only the wealthy can go to college and can afford it.”

Korey Phelan, a graduate student in the sociology department, said the tax rewrite “disgusts” her.

Opponents of the legislation criticized

it for being full of provisions unrelated to the tax code. Significantly, the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate was repealed. The individual mandate was meant to distribute risk on the insurance market between the healthy and unhealthy so costs are shared.

With the repeal of the individual mandate, those who get health care subsidized by the federal government will likely stay in the system, while those healthy people with unsubsidized care will leave the markets as premiums go up and healthy people leave the ACA system to purchase less expensive policies. The average cost for those left in the system will skyrocket.

Phelan has insurance under the ACA, and with the individual mandate gone, she said she is scared she won’t be able to afford health care.

“The tax bill benefits the wealthy so much at the expense of people who can already barely afford to make it,” Phelan said.

Emily Humbert, a philosophy graduate student, said the tax bill is “ridiculous” because it follows a model called trickle-down economics that has never worked.

Trickle-down economics is a tenet of Republican ideology that was famously advocated for by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. It basically says if the wealthy receive tax breaks, they have more money to spend and invest, which should then create jobs for everyone else.

This has not been the case in the past.

In fact, according to historian Robert McElvaine, the Great Depression was caused by a decade of Republican lawmakers giving tax breaks to the rich.

This created the greatest concentration of income to the richest 1 percent of Americans since World War I. The next time this concentration of wealth happened, McElvaine said, was in 2007 when President George W. Bush’s trickle-down policies — along with legislation passed by Republicans

in Congress at the time — again led to a recession.

“I just don’t understand who is consulting [the GOP] about this,” Humbert said.

Humbert, who works a part-time job and teaches three classes as an instructor of record, said she and her fellow graduate students fear this tax bill will discourage future students from enrolling because they won’t be able to pay for it. She said she will have to get another job if student tax benefits are stripped.

“It’s ridiculous that we need to be paying this much to be educated,” Humbert said. “We know what Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz education provides: informed, humane Professor of Cinema and Photography Jyotsna Kapur protests the proposed GOP individuals who want to do better in tax bill Nov. 29 outside of Morris Library. the world.”

USG votes to oppose the chancellor's plan to eliminate all departments CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE

Steak ‘n Shake slated to open in Student Center in the spring DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK

As the fall semester comes to an end, some students are left wondering when the Student Center Steak ‘n Shake will finally open for business.

University officials announced in March 2017 that the business would open this semester, but its gates still remain closed.

Tena Bennett, director of the Student Center, said students should expect it in around January 2018.

“And if not, as soon as possible afterwards,” Bennett said.

She said the construction took longer than expected because an air-handling unit on the roof needed replaced. The plan is to bring in a helicopter over winter break to install the new unit, she said.

Bennett said there will be a big grand opening when the new Steak ‘n Shake is ready

to open.

“I think they’ve got a great price point for students,” Bennett said.

Molly Groninger, a junior from Murpheysboro studying biomedical sciences, said she thinks it’s better than the space’s old tenant, McDonald’s.

“I feel like it’s a little bit of a step up,” she said.

Withney Simon, a junior from Orlando studying broadcast communications, said it might be hard for food to get done as quickly at a Steak ‘n Shake as it did at McDonald’s, which might be annoying for busy students.

“That’s the only thing I’m worried about, like a lot of people got class and they stop in here to get lunch and stuff so the food gotta be ready,” Simon said.

The Daily Egyptian’s campus desk can be reached at 618-536-3397 or editor@dailyegyptian.com.

At USG’s last regular meeting of the semester Tuesday, Undergraduate Student Government senators voted to oppose Chancellor Carlo Montemagno’s plan to eliminate all departments on campus.

This follows actions taken by the Faculty Senate (FS) and the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC), which also voted to oppose Montemagno’s current reorganization plan.

The measure was proposed by Senator Brandon Kyles, a senior from Chicago studying journalism, who said USG would give undergraduates a “dog in the fight” by taking a stance.

“I’m tired of us getting nowhere,” Kyles said when proposing the resolution. “This is our time to make a difference.”

Montemagno’s current plan would eliminate department chairs in favor of a “school” system, in which multiple degree programs would be ran by a single director.

The resolution USG senators voted on stated, in part: “ ... the chancellor has refused to provide empirical evidence in support of a unilateral elimination of departments as beneficial across all academic disciplines ... ” Senators also voted to state — like FS and GPSC — the chancellor's plan has “caused avoidable confusion and worry among undergraduate students.” Montemagno has said the reorganization would save the university $2.3 million, though others have expressed concern rebranding and movement may be costly.

Like many, Vice President Emily Buice said she doesn’t oppose restructuring in general, but she said she’s seen too many concerns from students to believe the plan is the best option.

“We should be conscious that individual departments are different, individual programs are different,” Buice a senior from Tallassee, Alabama studying history, said.

“While some programs might benefit from

not having a department, others might not.”

She said she’s spoken with students who have said they believe their department chair contributes to the success of their department, and they fear taking that position away could hurt the program. “[Not] everyone can fit in this small box,” Buice said. “It’s like those little things you play with as a kid: the square won't fit in the round hole.”

Montemagno has said the elimination of department chairs will free professors to more actively contribute to research, an effort to re-establish the university's status as a Tier 1 institution.

USG senators collectively said Montemagno has not provided substantial evidence on how complete departmental elimination would boost enrollment, recruitment and retention efforts.

“The way that the chancellor has reacted, especially toward students in my experience, has not been the greatest,” Kyles said.

While the Vision 2025 plan website states Montemagno will accept formal feedback from the Faculty Senate and the Graduate Council, USG and the Graduate and Professional Student Council are absent from that language. It does, however, generally state all feedback is welcome.

“That is literally going against what we do,” Kyles said.

Buice said it's a trend she's noticed multiple times, and she said USG should have a formal voice to represent undergraduates in reorganization matters.

“At the end of the day, we've established that we do want a seat at the table,” she said. “While I understand the importance of having GPSC and Faculty Senate's voice, the undergraduate students are also the heart and the soul of this university. We deserve to have our voices heard and wanted.”

Film professor ‘inspiring’ students with industry knowledge KITT FRESA | @KittFresa

H.D. Motyl, professor and interim chair of radio, television and digital media, prefers to take a handson approach in the classroom.

“Learning from a book is great and people should do that, and I do that,” Motyl said. “But having that practical knowledge also helps.”

Motyl teaches classes that help students learn how to write and produce a television pilot as well as direct cameras and actors.

After graduating from Pennsylvania State University in 1979 with his bachelor’s degree, Motyl enrolled at Northwestern University to get his master’s of fine arts in screenwriting and film and video production Motyl decided to move to Chicago after receiving his second degree in 1990. He started working for a film company, where he said he produced television shows for around 20 years. In 2007, he got his first teaching gig at Columbia College. After a year of teaching there, he applied for tenure and sent out applications to multiple schools, including SIU, where he was eventually hired.

“I think that it’s a huge advantage to have been out in the world before I came back to teaching, because there are lessons that I learned working,” Motyl said. “Whether it's about equipment, how to act on set, how to work on a script, how to deal with a network — I think that it helped tremendously.”

Motyl’s teaching philosophy The most important thing Motyl said he’s learned is to never stop learning.

“The best way to learn is be doing and keep doing,” he said. “My big thing, and I talk about this all the time in my writing class, is that yeah, sure, it’s a lot of words on a page, but you need to think of the visual end of it too and how the visuals can help tell the story. I learned a lot of that by working with a variety of people.”

When preparing students for their future careers in film and television production, Motyl said he tried to impress upon them the importance of collaboration.

“They’re going to have to do it,” Motyl said.

“They have to learn how to be able to not take things personally; if somebody doesn’t like something, it's not because they think you’re an idiot, its just they don’t like that idea for this show. It’s all about the story that you’re telling.”

Motyl said it’s vital for students to learn how to make a cohesive film rather than focusing on individual scenes.

“We have this expression ‘kill your babies,’” Motyl

Mary Newman | @MaryNewmanDE Professor Howard Motyl, widely known for his documentary Cowboy Christmas, poses for a portrait Nov. 21 at his office in the Communications Building.

said. “There are certain things that you can have in a film, you have a scene in there that you think is the greatest scene ever, but it really stops the flow of the story, it just doesn’t work in the story. It may be beautifully written as a scene and it looks great, but that’s your baby and you gotta kill it. As soon as you take that out and put everything together, then suddenly things work.”

Mentor to his students One of Motyl’s students said the way he teaches makes the work seem “almost effortless.”

“Those classes were great … I was actually a little terrified of him, because I had heard he was a big deal, but when I got to the class I realized that he was really nice and he really wanted everyone to try to like writing,” Tiffany McLaughlin, a senior from Chicago studying cinema and photography, said. “I had never written a television episode before, and the way he taught it made it seem almost effortless if you just follow the rules he gave you.”

McLaughlin said Motyl takes extra care to make sure students are understanding his coursework.

“He would set up office time with all of us to catch up with us and help us,” she said. “I needed loads of help, and he would sit there with me for an hour or two and go through my script and analyze it and see what I could fix. That was on his own time.”

The reason students love taking his classes,

McLaughlin said, is he way he acts toward his pupils.

“He treats you like an equal adult,” McLaughlin said. “He was the first professor that I’ve had … treat me like an actual human being rather than just being a silly old student. He’s like a mentor to me.”

Emily Bouchoc, a senior from Collierville studying cinema and photography, said the industry knowledge he teaches is vital for students.

“I got to learn not only how to interact with actors, but also how to do it in a way that is practiced in Hollywood,” Bouchoc said. “I feel like he stands out against other professors in a way that he cares about what he’s teaching. Not that other professor don’t, but he’s really passionate about what he was teaching, as well as the students in the class.”

Bouchoc echoed McLaughlin in saying Motyl is unique for the way he interacts with students.

“When it came time for critique, it was almost as if he was treating us as an equal and giving very honest feedback from someone who’s done it before, but also as someone who is able to relate to you,” Bouchoc said. “It didn’t feel condescending, but rather encouraging and helpful.”

Teaching is a two-way street, Motyl said.

“I’ve said before in my classes the students are teaching the teacher,” he said. “To see how people think and approach something can be inspiring, to hear how somebody else looks at something

and I go ‘Oh they’re right,’ and then I start changing the way I’ve been teaching that because of the way they saw it … I think that dialogue between a student and teacher can be inspiring and make me think in different ways about the work that I’m doing.”

Documenting rodeo If Motyl’s name sounds familiar, it could be for his award-winning documentary about rodeos, “Cowboy Christmas.”

He said he became intrigued by rodeos around 2008, when someone sent him an article about Cowboy Christmas, an annual summer event in which a massive number of rodeos take place and cowboys from all over the country compete to win up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Motyl talked about his interest to some of his friends, and they found out the national high school rodeo finals in 2008 were going to be in Springfield.

He said he gathered a team of people in Chicago and they went down to the rodeo just to see what it was about. They interviewed and watched the event, but the idea of making a documentary about high school rodeos didn’t appeal to Motyl as much.

“I still had this nagging thing to do professional rodeos, and so I did.” Motyl said.

Motyl received a faculty grant from SIU and immediately started looking for cowboys. He went to Cody, Wyoming, to attend a week-long rodeo event.

“I thought if I could be stationed there for a week I would be able to talk to a lot of cowboys and figure out who would be the best one,” Motyl said. “It was a little weird because I didn’t know that much about them.”

He found one cowboy, Matt Reeves, who had a story that resonated with him. Reeves agreed to be part of the film and Motyl started talking to Reeves’ friends.

“We just kept talking, and we set it up to go in January to shoot,” Motyl said.

When the documentary came out in 2013, Motyl said it began to spread and eventually made it into some film festivals.

At the 2013 Madrid International Film Festival, “Cowboy Christmas” won the award for Best Feature Documentary.

“Now it's on Netflix, Netflix said yes to it, so that’s a big deal and I’m happy about that,” Motyl said.

College men and consent: How the wrong perception can lead to sexual misconduct ALISON BOWEN | Chicago Tribune

Maybe a man believes a woman wants to have sex. But does that mean she wants to have sex with him?

This is a question at the heart of recent research gauging how college men consider sexual consent. The study published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence examined what men think implies consent and in which scenarios they felt women expressed a desire to have sex.

Rush University professor and co-author Ashton Lofgreen said she wanted to survey college men after realizing much research focused on victims' actions.

"I wanted to shift that focus into, how are men construing sexual consent and how can we use that understanding to improve education and prevent sexual assault?" she said.

She and her co-authors surveyed 145 heterosexual men attending southeastern U.S. universities.

They presented each with six scenarios followed by questions about the described encounters.

One scenario, for example, described an evening with a woman named Amy, who wore a short skirt and a blouse showing cleavage. The scenario had Amy and the man going back to the man's place and kissing. Then, after a few minutes of making out, the man reaches under Amy's shirt, and she responds to that unwanted action by saying, "Let's not do this right now."

The questions that followed the scenarios included asking whether the women signaled a willingness to continue the physical encounter and whether they communicated a willingness for sex.

Lofgreen was interested to see whether nonverbal cues and context — knowing someone's past sexual history, revealing clothing — had an impact on a man's understanding of consent.

She found men often conflated their perception of a woman's sexual desire with her consent for intimacy with them personally.

"If people seem like they want to have sex, they're more likely to communicate willingness to do that, but they are separate constructs," said Lofgreen, an assistant professor and clinical psychologist at Rush's Road Home Program for military veterans.

The research is limited by its sample size, which was homogenous in age, ethnicity and socioeconomic level. Also, because the scenarios had specific details, it is impossible to know what a man

might infer or understand from a situation he's in personally.

Something that stuck out to Lofgreen was that men who were more likely to think that women enjoy being overpowered or men should be aggressive were also more likely to think the women in the scenarios wanted to have sex.

Another key finding was that men might understand passivity to be a positive response.

"We found that, particularly in passive conditions, men with a higher rate of masculinity tended to view those situations as more consensual," she said.

She pointed out, "Consent is a message of yes versus an absence of no."

People with trauma histories, for example, are more likely to freeze in a sexual situation. Or someone who feels uncomfortable or doesn't want to hurt someone's

feelings might respond passively but have no desire to have sex.

At a time when high-profile men are apologizing amid sexual misconduct allegations, the research indicates, she said, that people others might not expect to cross boundaries might feel justified to in certain scenarios.

"We tend to think of a rapist as a social deviant and who's going to jump out of the bushes," she said.

But, she said, it wasn't personality traits that influenced the outcomes. It was a combination of attitudes about sex and the situation itself.

This indicates, she said, that people others might not expect "are capable of sexually assaulting someone if they're taking certain attitudes into the situation, if they're in a situation where they feel justified in doing so."

DeVry parent hands ownership of school to California company ALLY MAROTTI | Chicago Tribune

DeVry University, one of the nation's largest remaining forprofit college chains, is getting a new owner.

The university's parent company, Downers Grove-based Adtalem Global Education, plans to transfer ownership of DeVry University and its Keller Graduate School of Management to Silicon Valley-based Cogswell Education, according to a news release. The deal, which still needs regulatory and accreditor approval, is expected to close in 2018.

No money will change hands when the deal closes, according to the release. Adtalem will inject working capital into DeVry and be paid out over the next few years

based on DeVry's performance.

The announcement comes about a year after DeVry University agreed to pay $100 million to settle a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit alleging it misled tens of thousands of students about their post-graduation job and income prospects. Separately, in January, the company agreed to settle an investigation in New York into misleading advertising.

Adtalem President and CEO Lisa Wardell said in a news release that by transferring ownership of DeVry and Keller, the company can focus more on its remaining institutions.

Those include Chamberlain University, which recently expanded degree offerings and underwent a name change from Chamberlain College of

Nursing, and health care-focused Carrington College, among other institutions.

"We will work closely with Cogswell Education over the coming months to finalize the transfer of ownership and ensure a smooth transition for DeVry University, its colleagues and students," she said in the release.

As of June 30, DeVry University had about 1,100 full-time staff members, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Enrollment numbers in September at DeVry and Keller totaled more than 26,000 students, said Adtalem spokesman Ernie Gibble. The new ownership isn't expected to affect degrees students have earned or are earning, and no tuition changes are planned as a result.

Adtalem has more than 130 campuses globally, including 90 in the U.S. and 12 in Illinois, Gibble said. DeVry accounts for more than 50 of those U.S. campuses, and has online offerings.

A spokesman from Cogswell did not immediately return a request for further comment. Cogswell Education owns the for-profit Cogswell College, which focuses on entrepreneurship, digital art and technology, according to its website.

For-profit colleges came under scrutiny during the Obama administration, which targeted inflated job placement claims, predatory lending practices and more. Government investigations and sanctions have led to closures of several for-profit college chains,

including California-based Corinthian Colleges, which sold or closed most of its 107 campuses and liquidated its assets through Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015, and ITT Technical Institute, which closed its more than 130 campuses last year.

DeVry, which denied allegations of wrongdoing in the FTC case, has faced campus closures amid sliding revenue, though Adtalem has expanded globally. According to an annual report filed with the SEC in August, DeVry had reduced its footprint by 22 locations since June 30, 2015.

In May, Adtalem changed its name from DeVry Education Group and debuted a new ticker symbol, ATGE, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz SIU junior center Kavion Pippen and University of Illinois Springfield junior center Zach Steinberg fight for the ball Nov. 18 during the Salukis' 69-64 win against the University of Illinois Springfield Prairie Stars at SIU Arena.

Meet dominating Saluki center Kavion Pippen RYAN DEMER | @RyanDemer_DE

Ever since 6-foot-10-inch, 240-pound junior center Kavion Pippen stepped on the court in SIU maroon, he has dominated Division I competition in all facets of the game.

As the Salukis' leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker, Pippen transitioned well to the D-I style of play, as compared to his previous two seasons at the junior college level.

“I was playing against a lot of people smaller than me,” the Saluki

center said. “But in Division I every person seems to be athletic and near my height and size.”

At Three Rivers Community College, Pippen averaged 11.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and two blocks per game for the Pirates.

So far this season, his stats rank with some of the best players in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Amongst MVC leaders, Pippen is first in blocks per game (2.3), eighth in rebounds per game (6.7), seventh in field-goal percentage (.563) and

eighth in points per game (13.8).

“Just working hard has mostly factored into my success,” Pippen said. “That, along with taking advice from the coaches and my teammates.”

Pippen grew up in Hamburg, Arkansas and attended Hamburg High School, the same school that sculpted his uncle and NBA great — Scottie Pippen.

In his senior year, Pippen was listed at 6-foot-5. He said that he was not heavily recruited because he was undersized the center position.

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Jalen Henry, left, attempts to block junior center Kavion Pippen Nov. 29 during the Salukis’ 86-59 win against the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Cougars at SIU Arena.

However, he grew to 6-foot-8 and weighed 210 pounds when his collegiate career began at TRCC. With much success at the JUCO level, he received

the attention of Division I schools and coaches, including SIU head coach Barry Hinson.

Pippen loved the basketball tradition

SIU had to offer and it did not hurt that his cousin, Taylor Pippen, attended Southern and ranks amongst the alltime greats in Saluki volleyball.

“It’s a great atmosphere and I got a good vibe from the players and coaches,” Pippen said. “The history in the program is just something I wanted to experience.”

Before he joined SIU, Pippen grew an additional two inches. He also worked to add extra weight in muscle to complement his gained height.

“Putting on the extra weight has helped me out a lot in D-I basketball,” he added. “It helped me turn into a more physical player than I was in JUCO.” In addition to his extensive training and superb play, Pippen was prepared to put his mark on D-I basketball and carry on a strong pedigree of basketball previously set by his family members.

His cousin, Quinton Pippen, played at Chicago State for two seasons and was the team’s leading scorer in his senior season. Another cousin, William Pippen, played for Middle Tennessee State for two seasons, as well.

With the amount of talent and experience in Pippen's lineage, he said that his cousins and uncle Scottie are his biggest mentors in the sport.

“They give me pointers on the game in general, like having a winner’s mindset,” Pippen said. “They tell me to go into every game with confidence and to continue to work hard.”

Of all players in the NBA, Pippen tries to model his game after New Orleans Pelicans' superstar center Demarcus Cousins.

To reach that level, he said that he must improve in all aspects of the game including shooting, defensive movement, rebounding and dribbling.

Pippen has the full support of the rest of his team and coaching staff to reach that level, as they all speak of him in high regard.

"He's a sponge, he's learning, he's getting better," Hinson said. "I'm telling

you, he has a chance to be a special player."

After being thrust into a starting role when senior center Thik Bol was sidelined with a knee injury, Pippen emerged as the anchor of the Saluki lineup and the focal point of the offense.

The guards feed him the basketball and work around his play in the post.

Because his presence requires a double team, there is almost always an open shot on the floor.

Pippen also has recorded two buzzer beater tip-ins at halftime this season, which helps the team tremendously as they head to the locker room.

His awareness of offensive rebound opportunities is a major part of his scoring game.

“I just assume every shot is a miss,” Pippen said. “By doing that, I try to work myself in the right position for a tip in.”

On the court, Pippen's quickness separates him from opposing centers. His athleticism has factored into both sides of the ball this season.

“I know what Kavion can do, he can definitely be an all-league player,” senior forward Jonathan Wiley said. “Once he gets his motor going, there’s a lot more that he can unleash.”

Pippen is humbled, however, as he continues to embrace what the coaches and teammates are helping him with on the court. When he does reach his full potential, the NCAA will take notice, because Pippen and the Salukis are on a mission this season.

“Our goal is to not be an average team this year and win the MVC,” he said.

“We want to go to the tournament and we want to win.”

Tavae Lewis: 'Southern Illinois' Golden Boy' RYAN DEMER | @RyanDemer_DE

As “Southern Illinois' Golden Boy” and a Saluki on campus, local MMA fighter Tavae Lewis represents Carbondale each time he steps into the cage, as he fights for all of those like him that never received a chance in life.

“I want to put southern Illinois on the map,” Lewis said. “The goal is for people to see you don’t have to be the biggest or the strongest to compete with the best.”

Lewis did not have any prior fighting experience before he started training for the sport. The only experience he can relate to it would be playing football.

“I consider myself the Happy Gilmore of fighting,” Lewis joked. “No one’s improving as fast as I am in this sport. I was never the chosen one or anything.”

However, he first learned wrestling from his good friend who was an all-American wrestler and had plenty of other friends who are wrestling on the Olympic team and for Division I colleges.

Besides wrestling, Lewis does a lot of boxing as well as Muay Thai training to be considered an all-around fighter.

“I really love boxing as a whole,” Lewis said.

“The footwork, slipperiness and everything really complements my wrestling game.”

Lewis stands at 5-foot-10 and has fought at the 170-pound welterweight and 185-pound middleweight classes. The difference in 15 pounds for a fighter is tremendous in terms of weight cuts, and Lewis must keep that in mind each time he steps in the cage at a different weight class.

“I’m very quick with my wrestling and have more power in my boxing at 170,” the fighter said. “At 185 I feel stronger and faster than the guys in my weight class and can use my speed against them.”

The life of an MMA fighter is much different than any other sport. When entering the cage, the body engages a roller-coaster set of emotions he says is like no other feeling in the world.

“You feel angry, happy, upset and anxious at the same time,” Lewis said. “It’s the only time I actually feel like you have 100% control over what happens in your life at that moment.”

In his stint as an amateur fighter starting in 2014, he amassed an 8-3 record before deciding to go professional.

Brian Muñoz | @BrianMMunoz Tavae Lewis, a senior from Carbondale studying exercise science, poses for a photograph Monday outside of the Communications Building. The "Southern Illinois Golden Boy" made his professional MMA fighting debut in the welterweight class last weekend.

In his professional debut in Rosemont, a Chicago suburb, Lewis lost via split decision to Chicagoland native Miguel Luis.

“I felt it was a hometown decision, but it’s a decision I should’ve known,” Lewis said.

“There was room for improvement everywhere, and I should have equipped myself better to finish the fight and eliminate the chance for a decision.”

Lewis bases most of his training in Carbondale where he has two primary coaches that he feels very equally about.

Eean Chapelle, his boxing coach who was a professional fighter in his own right with Shamrock FC, has been with him ever since he started fighting at the amateur level where he went on a tear with six titles.

He works with Lewis on his footwork so that he can transition amongst all the facets of mixed martial arts. Andy Sabens, his head coach, works with him on his Brazilian Jiu-

Jitsu and his Muay Thai.

“Those two are probably the two most influential on my career,” Lewis said. “It’s crazy how we have these guys here in southern Illinois and people don’t know about them, but they could really help a lot.”

His training is not excluded to the region, however. Lewis has traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico to train at Jackson Wink gym, which is widely considered to be one of the top MMA training centers in the world.

There, Lewis got the chance to talk and train with his all-time favorite fighter, and arguably the best fighter of all-time in former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones.

Lewis also trains out of St. Louis, going to several gyms around the area. However, during the school year, the bulk of the work is done in Carbondale.

“When we’re in school, I work around my classes for training,” Lewis said. “I’ll run on the

treadmill in the morning, box with Eean and then go right to Jiu-Jitsu.”

With such a busy schedule, Lewis spends the little free time that he has with his growing family. He loves hanging out with his 3-yearold son, his mother and his little brother who he said are “his world.”

“I consider myself like Will Smith from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” Lewis said. “I’m the fun and goofy personality that likes to crack a lot of jokes around the family, and we love playing video games together.”

Ultimately, his plans are to make it to the pinnacle of MMA as a UFC fighter and put SIU on the map. By continuing to polish his craft, Lewis believes he the potential to become a highly marketable fighter.
