As contract negotiations continue between the administration’s bargaining team and the four campus unions, Anita Stoner says some progress has been made for the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association.

In an email to the campus community Friday, Chancellor Rita Cheng included a Frequently Asked Questions section titled “Know the facts: Distance education is not that scary!” One question included in the section of the email was, “Can I be forced to teach a distance education course if I do not feel qualied in the subject area or not technically savvy enough to do so?” e response read, “e university has no intention of forcing a faculty member to teach courses for which they are unqualied or unprepared to teach.” Hughes, an associate professor of mathematics, said he considers Cheng’s comment to have missed the point. He said the faculty isn’t concerned about being competent enough to teach a distance education course. “I think she wants to draw attention away from the real issues involved here,” Hughes said. “It’s a matter of academic freedom and academic responsibility. ere’s still a remaining issue about whether or not a faculty member could be forced to use a particular method, particularly distance education.” Students gathered outside of Anthony Hall Wednesday to support unionized faculty and share their opinions on the possible strike and Chancellor Rita Cheng’s emails.

As contract negotiations continue between the administration’s bargaining team and the four campus unions, Anita Stoner says some progress has been made for the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association.

Stoner, visiting assistant professor of journalism and NTTFA president, said the union continues to bargain increased job security and appropriate layo! procedures. Randy Hughes, president of the Faculty Association, said the FA is concerned about layo! s for tenured faculty and distance education.

In an email to the campus community Friday, Chancellor Rita Cheng included a Frequently Asked Questions section titled “Know the facts: Distance education is not that scary!”

One question included in the section of the email was, “Can I be forced to teach a distance education course if I do not feel quali" ed in the subject area

or not technically savvy enough to do so?” # e response read, “# e university has no intention of forcing a faculty member to teach courses for which they are unquali" ed or unprepared to teach.”

Hughes, an associate professor of mathematics, said he considers Cheng’s comment to have missed the point. He said the faculty isn’t concerned about being competent enough to teach a distance education course.

“I think she wants to draw attention away from the real issues involved here,” Hughes said. “It’s a matter of academic freedom and academic responsibility. # ere’s still a remaining issue about whether or not a faculty member could be forced to use a particular method, particularly distance education.”

Students gathered outside of Anthony Hall Wednesday to support unionized faculty and share their opinions on the possible strike and Chancellor Rita Cheng’s emails.

Cheng sent an email to the campus community Friday, in which she addressed the union situation’s current status.

“Students came to SIUC to receive an education,” Cheng said. “Students are not directly involved in the labor negotiations between the university and the unions which bargain on behalf of the university employees, and they should not be used as unwilling pawns in the disagreement between the parties.”

Alexandra Kane, a junior form

Libertyville studying anthropology and an active member of the informal group SIU Students Against University Cuts, said she considers Cheng’s emails to be condescending, if not threatening.

“Rita Cheng calling students pawns was just insensitive and insulting,” she said.

University spokesman Rod Sievers said while students have the right to protest their own opinions, the only way of compromise is through the bargaining table.

A group of more than 50 students, faculty, sta! and community members gathered Wednesday for Occupy Carbondale’s second general assembly meeting at the Gaia House Interfaith Center to discuss the groups future and goals.

Occupy Carbondale is one of many branches of Occupy Wall Street, a movement that started in New York City when people

began to protest in the " nancial district Sept. 17. # e national groups localize issues in their area. Members of Carbondale’s group have said they want to bring democracy to southern Illinois.

# ose in the people-powered Occupy Wall Street movement have said they vow to end corruption of democracy. # e group is a leaderless resistance movement with people of di! erent backgrounds who say they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent

of Americans who continue to become wealthy while 99 percent of Americans become poorer, according to Occupy Wall Street’s website.

Treesong, program director for Gaia House Interfaith Center and Carbondale resident, said the group is in its planning stages but the main goal is to challenge the in$ uence of corporate money on democracy.

“Right now, the people’s voice has a lot less to do with what has

happened in the government then how much corporations spend on funding certain candidates,” he said. “# at is how we ended up with a multi-trillion dollar bank bailout that bene" ted a small number of banks and didn’t really trickle down to any of us working people.”

At the meeting some questioned the goal of the group.

Leevi Burnett, a junior from En" eld studying physical therapy,

said clearly de" ned objectives should be set for any movement.

“Unless we have written down a list of what is wrong and what we hope to change through reasonable goals we can obtain…I don’t think we will have any ground to stand on. Until we get that done, we are just a bunch of people talking about everything,” Burnett said at the meeting.

Arrows were flying as the start of October brought the start of bow-hunting season.

Archery season kicked-off Oct. 1 and runs through Jan. 15., which means deer can only be hunted with bows and arrows as opposed to firearm hunting which runs Nov. 18-20.

Gary Apgar, interim department chair and associate professor in animal science food and nutrition, said archery hunting presents a di* erent set of challenges than + rearm hunting.

“There is more greenery on the

trees which limits your visibility, and the deer tend to move differently,” Apgar said.

Hunting is more than a sport in southern Illinois said Jon Schoonover, assistant professor of physical hydrology and forest soils. He said the skill of hunting is passed down through generations and can be considered a way of life.

“I started hunting when I was about 8, as soon as I was old enough to read and pass the hunters safety exam,” Schoonover said. “I started with my dad, and it’s always been a family tradition.”

Apgar said the sport of hunting can also be used as a way for people bond.

“Sitting in a tree stand last year with my daughter, we were able to see a big owl within about eight feet from our tree,” Apgar said. “The things you see show perspective, there’s more to life than an office building and a computer screen.”

Apgar said hunting takes a lot of patience because hunters will sit in stands suspended in the trees and hunt for hours at a time.

Apgar said he finds the patience of the sport to be relieving and it gives him an experience that he cannot find anywhere else.

“For me it not about the harvest, its the opportunity to leave all of this stu* behind,” Apgar said.

Schoonover said hunters’ objective has shifted from a natural experience to a business, as he said hunting is a way to generate revenue. He said while many people have started to understand the economic value of hunting, others have begun to lease their land so others can’t hunt on it. Schoonover said it’s become more difficult to find a place to hunt because there is more private ground.

Although private ground is more prevalent, Apgar said southern Illinois still has many open areas available to the public for hunting. He said the Shawnee National Forest has hundreds of

acres throughout the region, some of which are available to hunt.

Even with hundreds of acres of open forest public, there are still challenges to public hunting.

Kyle Kuhns a junior from Altamont studying agricultural systems, said everything comes down to the basic rules of hunting: Keep an eye out so other hunters don't get hurt.

“Anybody and everybody will be out hunting on public ground. You could have someone walk right in front of you,” he said.

Golf may be played at a slower pace and consist of less contact than other sports, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t as physically demanding.

As any other collegiate sport, golf requires a mixture of time spent in the weight room and on the practice field.

Saluki men’s golfer Brandon Cauldwell said golf requires extensive strength training and athleticism. Cauldwell, a junior in biological sciences, said the

sport is just as intense as others played in college or on the professional level.

“It’s just as intense to me but a little different,” Cauldwell said. “During a tournament, we’re walking 36 holes in one day, which is a lot when you’re walking and carrying your own bag.”

He said golf requires more mental strength and physicality than a lot of other sports because it’s extremely time-consuming.

“On days when the team plays 18 holes, it usually takes about five hours,” Cauldwell said. “But

the days we play 36 holes, we usually start playing at 8 a.m. and (don’t) finish until dark.”

Junior golfer Jake Erickson said it’s important to keep your body in shape because golf is a sport that has a lot to do with the body’s core.

“Strength training is huge for us, little do people know,” Erickson said. “It’s obvious that you have to be in some shape when you play any sport. We run a little to work on endurance (since we’re) out on the golf course for 11 hours when we play 36 holes.”

Erickson said the team does more core exercises to strengthen muscles for adequate swinging.

“We lift weights lightly but with a lot of reps,” Erickson said. “Our main focus is abs exercises because this is the area that needs the most strength in order to follow through with powerful swings to hit the ball far.”

SIU men’s golf coach Leroy Newton said there is one major aspect with golf that people fail to realize.

“People don’t understand that golf is the only sport kids are continuously playing for about

ten and a half hours at one time,” Newton said. “In other sports, there are limits on how long each match can last, but in golf there are no limits.”

He said the team needs to be physically fit while on the golf course during competition.

“The kids must be in shape mentally and physically to be able to compete for that long period of time, as well as carrying their caddy too,” Newton said.

Golf strength training underestimated

A Super Bowl title, four MVP awards and playo* appearances in every season save one during the last decade, speak volumes about how much Peyton Manning means to the Indianapolis Colts.

But not enough.Manning isn’t just the most

valuable football player of his era. He belongs in the conversation for most valuable in any team sport ever. He’s mastered the game like no one since Otto Graham took the Cleveland Browns to the championship match in each of his 10 seasons more than a

half-century ago.Indy’s error-riddled, injury-

plagued 0-5 start to this season, while Manning recovers from two neck surgeries that sidelined him for the + rst time in his pro career, is a testament to it. But it’s only one of many.

“We’ve been spoiled by great quarterback play for a long time,” Colts defender Robert Mathis said a, er a second straight second-half letdown resulted in a 28-24 loss to Kansas City last weekend. "But the fact of the matter is we have got to hold our end up.”

) e Colts have become a cautionary tale about what happens when a team ties its fate to one player,

and that player can no longer go. ) ink of the Chicago Bulls a, er Michael Jordan walked away from basketball the + rst time. Or, to cite an example of NFL history repeating itself, how long the old Baltimore Colts wandered in the league’s wilderness searching for Johnny Unitas' replacement.

Using the dra, , trades and free-agent pickups, NFL contenders continually strive to strike a balance between the strength of their o* enses and defenses. But in the modern game, with its increasing emphasis on scoring and protecting quarterbacks more than any other player on the + eld, a top-- ight passing attack has become paramount. Manning was so

successful for so long that the Colts became dangerously lopsided.

During his tenure, their running game became an a, erthought and the defense, used to chasing opposing quarterbacks forced to throw o, en to make up the de+ cits Manning built, evolved into a one-dimensional unit. ) ey were fast enough to pressure the passer, but too small to win most wars of attrition.

With hindsight, it’s easy to see how Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay and football chief Bill Polian were caught unprepared. Manning, who turned 35 in March, hadn’t missed a game since the Colts used the + rst pick of the 1998 dra, to get him. During that

span, only Drew Brees of New Orleans contributed more to his team’s total o* ense — 72 percent vs. 71 — though that covers only the past + ve seasons, compared to 13 for Manning.

Brett Favre, who holds several NFL passing records Manning is still chasing, ranked third at 68 percent during a 10-year stint in Green Bay. Even Tom Brady, the Patriots’ three-time Super Bowl-winning QB whom Manning is most o, en measured against, comes in at the same 68 percent a, er 10 complete seasons as the starter in New England. All three rivals value to their teams was propped up by better, more consistent running games and defenses.

Is Manning's value more than Colts bargained for?JIM LITKEAssociated Press

Some Latino students at SIUC say they question the university’s commitment to displaying diversity in the model of inclusive excellence.

In an e* ort to raise cultural awareness, the Latino Heritage Month planning committee held a forum Oct. 6 for faculty and students to discuss changes needed to create and sustain inclusion at the university. National Latino heritage month started Sept. 15 and ends Saturday. Events such as Festival Latino, Punto de Vista — a panel of Latin American immigrants sharing personal stories — and many others took place at SIUC in honor of recognizing Latino culture.

Alicia Chavira-Prado, coordinator for diversity and equity, said those at the forum took a comprehensive look at what the university can do to continue to bring in, serve and maintain students to help them succeed.

“Our interest is for all students, but because we’re celebrating Latino Heritage Month, we’re focusing on Latino issues and Latino students,” she said.

Kendra Torres, a senior from Chicago studying journalism, said she believes the university needs to hire more faculty and staff of Latino and Hispanic descent if they want to keep Latino students' enrollment up. She said faculty and staff help promote and bring students to the university.

She said although the university recognizes Latino Heritage Month, she believes it is not enough when it comes to raising cultural awareness.

“I feel like they’re trying but not trying hard enough,” she said. “We just got the Hispanic Resource Center; that would have been helpful when I was a freshman.”

Chavira-Prado said the issues being discussed include the number of Latino faculty at the university available as a resource to Latino students.

Panelists also examined if administrators were re+ ective of the Latino presence on campus and what resources — such as faculty, events, registered student organizations and curriculum — are available.

Luisa Concepcion, coordinator of the Hispanic Resource Center, said one of the advantages of having Latino faculty as a resource at the university is to provide mentors for Latino students who see the

faculty in that role. She said Latino faculty can relate culturally with the student in terms of the culture — language, customs, etc. — to make students feel at home and help them with networking opportunities.

) e number of Latino faculty members at SIUC has increased in the past , ve years, according to the O- ce of Institutional Research and Studies. Twenty eight latino faculty members were at the university during the fall 2006 semester. ) at number increased to 32 members in fall 2007, 34 in fall 2008, 38 in fall 2009 and 39 in fall 2010.

Jazmin Duran, a sophomore from Elgin studying Spanish and international trade, said she believes there wasn’t easy access to Latino resources on campus when she arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2010.

“When I , rst arrived on campus, my impression was that there wasn’t any Latino outreach services,” she said. “In order for me to get involved and get in touch with the Latino community, I had to go out and look for it.”

Concepcion said administrators have done a great job of recognizing the Latino presence on campus and students, faculty and sta* should look at the good things that come

from the work of administrators.“There are still some challenges

but we have to look at the positive things the university has done,” she said.

Duran said she found the Hispanic Resource Center helpful.

) e Hispanic Resource Center, which opened in December, is for Hispanic and Latino students to , nd out about resources on campus and in the community.

Concepcion said the center o* ers workshops, seminars, social and cultural events as well as mentorship opportunities. ) e center is a part of the O- ce of Student Life and Intercultural Relations, located in Woody Hall, Room C325.

Mayor Joel Fritzler took some time Monday to re* ect on his + ve months as mayor and the Carbondale City Council.

“It’s probably the most diverse council Carbondale’s ever seen,” he said.

Fritzler succeeded Brad Cole as mayor in May, and Jane Adams and Don Monty were elected to the Council the same month. Lee Fronabarger was appointed to + ll Fritzler’s vacant council seat.

Since the considerable shi, in the council’s makeup, the city has seen a number of major issues addressed. Fritzler said the Council’s granting of liquor licenses to grocery stores in July was probably the greatest one so far.

“) at was a big victory for the entire community,” he said. “I’m hoping to see a turnaround in some of our sales tax revenues.”

He said the issue of liquor sales at grocery stores has been around for more than 40 years.

“Even when I moved here 15 years ago, it was like the big question, ‘Why can’t I get beer in the grocery store like I can in probably 95 percent of the other stores in Illinois, or across the country or around the world?’” he said.

And the issue may not be settled. Fronabarger — who voted with Fritzler, Monty and Adams to approve the measure — said he would like to see liquor sales expand to convenience stores as well.

) e Council’s decision says something about Fritzler’s mayoral qualities, said Francis Murphy, general manager of the Neighborhood Co-op Grocery, one of several grocery stores to pursue a liquor license.

“Joel has shown really strong leadership to overturn a 43-year-old law that bene+ ted a few families in Carbondale,” he said. “Joel is not beholden to certain interest groups the way Brad was.”

Fritzler seems to have a more inclusive and participatory style than Cole, who strictly ran the previous Council, Murphy said.

However, Councilwoman Corene McDaniel said Cole had a vision and the connections to make it work.

McDaniel, who has served on the council for more than 10 years, has found herself in the minority on a few major votes since the new council members took o- ce. She voted against grocery store liquor sales and cutting the city’s funding for District 95’s Summer Reading and Math Program.

“Maybe we have new members who may not have been responsive to items that were passed in the past,” she said.

Councilman Chris Wissmann, who’s been on the council for 8 years, expressed a similar sentiment.

“I do seem to + nd myself on the short end of the stick these days,” he said.

He said anyone who has watched the council for the last 8 years would have no problem seeing the di. erences since the last election, but Wissmann would not comment on the di. erences between Fritzler and Cole.

Scott ) orne, owner of Castle Perilous Games and writer of the city government blog Carbondaze Gazette, said Cole and Fritzler are actually similar in at least one way.

“) ey’re both kind of, ‘I want it done my way,’ but Cole was more in your face,” he said.

One case of Fritzler’s initiative is his emphasis on building-code enforcement, a topic he stressed during the election.

“In the last 8 years or so, we’ve

been pretty lax on enforcement,” Fritzler said. “One of the + rst things I did when I took o- ce, I went over to Building and Neighborhood Services, and all I said was, ‘Write tickets, write tickets, write tickets.’”

Since the summer, the city’s e. orts to force New York-based landlord Campus Habitat to bring its properties into safety compliance have been well publicized. ) e city declared two of the company’s buildings to be un+ t for habitation in August, and a Jackson County Circuit Court judge levied $30,000 in + nes against the landlord in September.

“I was really happy … the judicial system has taken our side on the ruling, the + nes. I don’t think we’re ever going to collect any of those + nes, but it helps put the word out there that we’re serious about these violations,” Fritzler said.

He said improving housing is one way the city can help the university + ght its enrollment problems.

Fritzler said a, er matters such as raising water rates and + nding a new city manager are settled, his next big issue is to improve and clean up downtown. He said one idea he has had is to close Illinois Avenue to vehicles and divert Highway 51 onto University Avenue.

However, he said ideas are cheap, and sometimes planning is too, but making it happen would be expensive.

“We’re doing all right,” he said. “Our sales tax revenue projections are right on track … but there’s no frosting.”

Treesong, who only goes by his ! rst legal name, said the group has discussed if or how Occupy Carbondale will have an impact on the region because Carbondale is in a fairly remote area.

“We don’t have any big ! nancial districts in Carbondale,” he said. “We don’t have any Bank of America branches we can protest against or that sort of thing but we wanted to do it because it is something that we can protest against ... we wanted to do it because it is something that is a" ecting people in Carbondale.”

Burnett said people who want to bring down corporate America have unrealistic goals.

“You have to infuse reality with ideology, and I hope this group is able to do that,” he said.

He said he is afraid people with alternative lifestyles will have an a" ect on how seriously others take the group.

“# ey immediately become the face of something that isn’t what the organization wants,” he said.

At the ! rst general assembly meeting Oct. 5, Treesong said people were concerned about labor disputes on SIUC’s campus.

Four unions that have been in contract negotiations since June 2010 when their previous contracts ended, gave authorization in the last two weeks to their unions to set strike dates at any time if signi! cant progress is not made in negotiations.

“We see it as related to the broader economic issues of the country,” Treesong said.

He said Occupy Wall Street formed because corporations bailed out banks and the economy crashed, which forced people to cut funds.

“One of the ways they do that here at SIUC is to cut funding for

the faculty, grad assistants and sta" ,” he said.

Paula Bradshaw, of Carbondale, said Carbondale primarily depends on the university as its main economic source but the university is being deprived funds from the state.

“I think it is important for us to support SIUC and the workers there and higher education,” she said. “Wall Street is preying on students.”

Student loan debt outpaced credit card debt for the ! rst time in 2010, according to an article in the New York Times, and is estimated

to top $1 trillion this year.“# e United States used to highly

support education but now it is the other way around,” Bradshaw said. “We have 14 prisons in southern Illinois when we had three in 1980 when SIU is starving for funds. Where are the priorities?”

At the general assembly meeting Wednesday, the Occupy Carbondale group decided to join the Peace Coalition of Southern Illinois — a group that advocates peace and solutions to end war — for the second consequtive Saturday. Members of the coalition have stood at town square every

Saturday for an hour since 2001, said Celeste Williams, member of the coalition.

Williams said the coalition is collaborating with the Occupy Carbondale group because they have similar messages.

“We know quite a few people in the anti-war movement that have joined and are supporting the Occupy Wall Street,” she said. “We see the lack of funding change for basic human rights, health care, food for children, food pantries, funding of education, all the social services we see direct decrease of and that ties into the peace and

justice issues.”Treesong said the group not

only wants to make a change in the southern Illinois area but also show support for the Wall Street demonstrators.

“If there were just people demonstrating in New York City people in congress would not pay much attention to it but if it gets as far as Carbondale, Ill., that shows that everyone in the U.S. is concerned about this issue,” he said.

BROOKE GRACE | DAILY EGYPTIANBrad Linzy, of Evansville, Ind., holds a sign that reads 'Inflation equals larceny' Sunday while speaking with Occupy Evansville participants during an informational meeting Sunday. More than

70 residents attended the meeting to vote on plans to march through downtown Evansville Saturday.

Four Illinois Education Association unions on campus gave authorization to their executive bodies to set a strike date at any time if there is no further progress in contract negotiations.

The unions have been without contracts since the previous ones ended in June 2010.

Kane said she believes part of an education is to learn how to think critically, and if Cheng believes that students are “used as unwilling pawns” then she is not doing her job properly.

Kyle Cheesewright, a graduate student in speech communications from Durango, Colo., and member of Graduate Assistants United, said the emails are a rhetorical ploy designed to scare people into not standing up for their basic rights. He said he believes the ideas Cheng advocates in her letters are subtly meant to scare people.

“The idea that students are not involved is just an attempt to make students apathetic and make them not

take action when they can,” he said.

Samuel Perry, a senior from Mooresville Ind., studying mortuary science and funeral services, said he attended the protest to inform students on the current situation so they can become capable of forming their own educated opinion.

“I am not going to fully blame Rita Cheng, and I am also not going to advocate only for the unions,” he said. “I just want students to be informed and become involved.”

Hughes said the contract’s language needs to be more speci! c for the tenure layo" s issue.

“We believe there needs to be something more speci! c about what circumstances might lead to a layo" ,” he said.

In another FAQ section titled “Know the facts: Students — Do not be Misled!” the administration stated classes will not be cancelled in the event of a strike. In the email, Cheng said if teachers try to cancel classes or threaten to not count students’ academic work as complete, they will be in violation of the Faculty Code of Ethics by exploiting the students for their private advantage.

If students believe they are not receiving fair consideration of their work, the FAQ section stated students have the right to ! le a grievance in regards to their grades.

In another email from Cheng Sept. 29, the chancellor said the administration’s bargaining team has made numerous concessions to the four unions in an attempt to reach a settlement.

Stoner said she is frustrated to hear talk that the administration has made those concessions.

“It’s more like they’ve poked a bunch of holes in it and gave us Band-Aids and called those Band-Aids concessions,” she said. “We haven’t gone forward as much as we sidestepped to ! x the

problems they’ve carved with our contract.”

Stoner said progress has been made, though, as the NTTFA has been given a proposal by the board and will respond with a counter-proposal. However, she said the NTTFA has trust issues with the negotiating team.

Stoner said, for example, the contract states Head Start workers would receive a spring break, but now they have been told they are expected to work during the break.

She said the NTTFA also wants personal leave days. While the administration said leave days could be given with prior permission, Stoner said there’s no time to seek approval in the instance of an emergency.

Stoner said the NTTFA was also o" ered a pay raise, but that was never the union’s issue.

“Trust issues, what’s best for students and quality education are what come first for us,” she said.

University spokesman Rod Sievers said the administration and bargaining units are working hard to come to an agreement.

“Nobody wants a strike, so they’re working very actively to try to avoid that and come to terms of an agreement,” Sievers said. “How long that takes, I couldn’t tell you.”

Mayer Hawthorne is part of a trend of artists who see vintage as the new modern. His 2009 debut, “A Strange Arrangement,” was a swirling soundtrack inspired by ‘60s and ‘70s soul, mirroring the vocal style of artists such as Al Green, Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye. The album seemed like an odd release for Los Angeles independent hip-hop label Stones Throw Records, however it was met with critical acclaim and saw Hawthorne as the male poster child for blue-eyed soul. In the time since its release, the artist has performed hip-hop under the alias Haircut, collaborated with rappers The Cool Kids and released a new record.

The album, “How Do You Do,” picks up where the previous left off. The lead single, “The Walk,” is a cheeky, upbeat breakup song with strong doo-wop influences. The track is the album’s best because here Hawthorne’s lyrics move past the flowery, regurgitated love lyrics he’s become accustomed to and instead opts for some true depth, going so far as to get foul-mouthed in one of the verses.

“Dreaming” comes across as

a lost Beach Boys B-side. The layered harmony and major chords bring a brightness and sun-soaked piece of pure pop perfection.

“Can’t Stop’s” low brass rhythms, piano chords and swirling strings lay a solid base for Hawthorne’s flip-flop baritone and signature falsetto vocals.

Snoop Dogg has always been linked to classic R&B since his soul-sampling debut nearly two decades ago. His stab at singing on the 2007 single “Sensual Seduction” was a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the era Hawthorne’s music embodies. But on “Can’t Stop” his vocals sound off-key and, as Hawthorne’s sole guest musician, brings down the album.

“Finally Falling” and “Hooked” pay homage to the love-struck

ballads of Motown guy groups such as the Temptations and Smokey Robinson.

“The News” is a brassy, big band influenced swing track that ends as soon as it starts but captures its bluesy, melodramatic mood perfectly.

Unlike his contemporaries and fellow vintage soul revisits Aloe Blcac, Cee-Lo and the late Amy Winehouse, Hawthorne’s tunes come off as a rewriting of classic R&B standards as opposed to a pastiche to the genre. For an artist so closely related to hip-hop, it would be nice to see him incorporate it into his music rather than the direct soul reworks he’s become accustomed to.

Marbin, an Israel-based band from Chicago, plans to give southern Illinois a performance to remember today at 10:30 p.m at PK’s.

Today marks the second year Marbin has performed in Carbondale for residents and the student community. ) e band’s music encompasses jazz, rock and many other musical styles which culminate into an electric high-energy show. ) e band’s extensive itinerary goes across the United States with stops at venues including jazz festivals, biker bars, wineries and rock clubs. ) e Grind spoke with band founder Dani Rabin about the group’s journey in the music industry and what’s to come for tonight’s performance.

' e Grind: Where did Marbin get its start?

Dani Rabin: ) e group started in Israel in 2007 with just myself and Danny Markovitch. He played the saxophone and I played guitar, and it wasn’t long a* er we met that we decided to move to Chicago to better our chances at getting discovered.

TG: What changed for you once you were settled in Chicago?

DR: It was when we got to

Chicago that we got signed to the MoonJune record label. It was all very surreal because we had been performing at di+ erent venues in Chicago since we moved there. One night, Brad Walseth, a friend of ours in the industry, brought the label’s president to see us. A* er we performed, he came backstage to introduce himself and o+ er us a contract with MoonJune records in New York City.

TG: When did Marbin transform from a duo into a full band?

DR: We didn’t add additional members until a* er our , rst album “Marbin” in 2009. A* er our , rst album was released, we met drummer Ian Stewart and bass player Justyn Lawrence in Chicago. With the addition of Stewart and Lawrence, we began production on our second album “Breaking ) e Cycle,” which was released March 2011. “Breaking ) e Cycle” had an overall fuller sound than our debut, mainly because we now had four musicians.

TG: What is your most

memorable performance?DR: It had to be when we

opened for Scott Henderson’s tour. We opened for him in four di+ erent places: New York, Pittsburgh, Ohio and Chicago. It was an amazing experience we will never forget. ) e crowd’s energy was extraordinary. Our sounds blended.

TG: What do you plan to bring to Carbondale audiences?

DR: ) e performance will include three sets of our music, some from our , rst album as well as new songs from our most recent album. We want to give the crowd high energy, good music and our story as a band. Carbondale crowds really responded well to our music last year, so this year we want to give them more in a full night of Marbin. I speak for all of us when I say we always enjoy coming to southern Illinois, and we will continue to as long as they have us.

Some Latino students at SIUC say they question the university’s commitment to displaying diversity in the model of inclusive excellence.

In an e* ort to raise cultural awareness, the Latino Heritage Month planning committee held a forum Oct. 6 for faculty and students to discuss changes needed to create and sustain inclusion at the university. National Latino heritage month started Sept. 15 and ends Saturday. Events such as Festival Latino, Punto de Vista — a panel of Latin American immigrants sharing personal stories — and many others took place at SIUC in honor of recognizing Latino culture.

Alicia Chavira-Prado, coordinator for diversity and equity, said those at the forum took a comprehensive look at what the university can do to continue to bring in, serve and maintain students to help them succeed.

“Our interest is for all students, but because we’re celebrating Latino Heritage Month, we’re focusing on Latino issues and Latino students,” she said.

Kendra Torres, a senior from Chicago studying journalism, said she believes the university needs to hire more faculty and staff of Latino and Hispanic descent if they want to keep Latino students' enrollment up. She said faculty and staff help promote and bring students to the university.

She said although the university recognizes Latino Heritage Month, she believes it is not enough when it comes to raising cultural awareness.

“I feel like they’re trying but not trying hard enough,” she said. “We just got the Hispanic Resource Center; that would have been helpful when I was a freshman.”

Chavira-Prado said the issues being discussed include the number of Latino faculty at the university available as a resource to Latino students.

Panelists also examined if administrators were re+ ective of the Latino presence on campus and what resources — such as faculty, events, registered student organizations and curriculum — are available.

Luisa Concepcion, coordinator of the Hispanic Resource Center, said one of the advantages of having Latino faculty as a resource at the university is to provide mentors for Latino students who see the

faculty in that role. She said Latino faculty can relate culturally with the student in terms of the culture — language, customs, etc. — to make students feel at home and help them with networking opportunities.

) e number of Latino faculty members at SIUC has increased in the past , ve years, according to the O- ce of Institutional Research and Studies. Twenty eight latino faculty members were at the university during the fall 2006 semester. ) at number increased to 32 members in fall 2007, 34 in fall 2008, 38 in fall 2009 and 39 in fall 2010.

Jazmin Duran, a sophomore from Elgin studying Spanish and international trade, said she believes there wasn’t easy access to Latino resources on campus when she arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2010.

“When I , rst arrived on campus, my impression was that there wasn’t any Latino outreach services,” she said. “In order for me to get involved and get in touch with the Latino community, I had to go out and look for it.”

Concepcion said administrators have done a great job of recognizing the Latino presence on campus and students, faculty and sta* should look at the good things that come

from the work of administrators.“There are still some challenges

but we have to look at the positive things the university has done,” she said.

Duran said she found the Hispanic Resource Center helpful.

) e Hispanic Resource Center, which opened in December, is for Hispanic and Latino students to , nd out about resources on campus and in the community.

Concepcion said the center o* ers workshops, seminars, social and cultural events as well as mentorship opportunities. ) e center is a part of the O- ce of Student Life and Intercultural Relations, located in Woody Hall, Room C325.

Arrows were flying as the start of October brought the start of bow-hunting season.

Archery season kicked-off Oct. 1 and runs through Jan. 15., which means deer can only be hunted with bows and arrows as opposed to firearm hunting which runs Nov. 18-20.

Gary Apgar, interim department chair and associate professor in animal science food and nutrition, said archery hunting presents a di* erent set of challenges than + rearm hunting.

“There is more greenery on the

trees which limits your visibility, and the deer tend to move differently,” Apgar said.

Hunting is more than a sport in southern Illinois said Jon Schoonover, assistant professor of physical hydrology and forest soils. He said the skill of hunting is passed down through generations and can be considered a way of life.

“I started hunting when I was about 8, as soon as I was old enough to read and pass the hunters safety exam,” Schoonover said. “I started with my dad, and it’s always been a family tradition.”

Apgar said the sport of hunting can also be used as a way for people bond.

“Sitting in a tree stand last year with my daughter, we were able to see a big owl within about eight feet from our tree,” Apgar said. “The things you see show perspective, there’s more to life than an office building and a computer screen.”

Apgar said hunting takes a lot of patience because hunters will sit in stands suspended in the trees and hunt for hours at a time.

Apgar said he finds the patience of the sport to be relieving and it gives him an experience that he cannot find anywhere else.

“For me it not about the harvest, its the opportunity to leave all of this stu* behind,” Apgar said.

Schoonover said hunters’ objective has shifted from a natural experience to a business, as he said hunting is a way to generate revenue. He said while many people have started to understand the economic value of hunting, others have begun to lease their land so others can’t hunt on it. Schoonover said it’s become more difficult to find a place to hunt because there is more private ground.

Although private ground is more prevalent, Apgar said southern Illinois still has many open areas available to the public for hunting. He said the Shawnee National Forest has hundreds of

acres throughout the region, some of which are available to hunt.

Even with hundreds of acres of open forest public, there are still challenges to public hunting.

Kyle Kuhns a junior from Altamont studying agricultural systems, said everything comes down to the basic rules of hunting: Keep an eye out so other hunters don't get hurt.

“Anybody and everybody will be out hunting on public ground. You could have someone walk right in front of you,” he said.

Golf may be played at a slower pace and consist of less contact than other sports, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t as physically demanding.

As any other collegiate sport, golf requires a mixture of time spent in the weight room and on the practice field.

Saluki men’s golfer Brandon Cauldwell said golf requires extensive strength training and athleticism. Cauldwell, a junior in biological sciences, said the

sport is just as intense as others played in college or on the professional level.

“It’s just as intense to me but a little different,” Cauldwell said. “During a tournament, we’re walking 36 holes in one day, which is a lot when you’re walking and carrying your own bag.”

He said golf requires more mental strength and physicality than a lot of other sports because it’s extremely time-consuming.

“On days when the team plays 18 holes, it usually takes about five hours,” Cauldwell said. “But

the days we play 36 holes, we usually start playing at 8 a.m. and (don’t) finish until dark.”

Junior golfer Jake Erickson said it’s important to keep your body in shape because golf is a sport that has a lot to do with the body’s core.

“Strength training is huge for us, little do people know,” Erickson said. “It’s obvious that you have to be in some shape when you play any sport. We run a little to work on endurance (since we’re) out on the golf course for 11 hours when we play 36 holes.”

Erickson said the team does more core exercises to strengthen muscles for adequate swinging.

“We lift weights lightly but with a lot of reps,” Erickson said. “Our main focus is abs exercises because this is the area that needs the most strength in order to follow through with powerful swings to hit the ball far.”

SIU men’s golf coach Leroy Newton said there is one major aspect with golf that people fail to realize.

“People don’t understand that golf is the only sport kids are continuously playing for about

ten and a half hours at one time,” Newton said. “In other sports, there are limits on how long each match can last, but in golf there are no limits.”

He said the team needs to be physically fit while on the golf course during competition.

“The kids must be in shape mentally and physically to be able to compete for that long period of time, as well as carrying their caddy too,” Newton said.

Southern Illinois: a hunter's haven

Golf strength training underestimated

A Super Bowl title, four MVP awards and playo* appearances in every season save one during the last decade, speak volumes about how much Peyton Manning means to the Indianapolis Colts.

But not enough.Manning isn’t just the most

valuable football player of his era. He belongs in the conversation for most valuable in any team sport ever. He’s mastered the game like no one since Otto Graham took the Cleveland Browns to the championship match in each of his 10 seasons more than a

half-century ago.Indy’s error-riddled, injury-

plagued 0-5 start to this season, while Manning recovers from two neck surgeries that sidelined him for the + rst time in his pro career, is a testament to it. But it’s only one of many.

“We’ve been spoiled by great quarterback play for a long time,” Colts defender Robert Mathis said a, er a second straight second-half letdown resulted in a 28-24 loss to Kansas City last weekend. "But the fact of the matter is we have got to hold our end up.”

) e Colts have become a cautionary tale about what happens when a team ties its fate to one player,

and that player can no longer go. ) ink of the Chicago Bulls a, er Michael Jordan walked away from basketball the + rst time. Or, to cite an example of NFL history repeating itself, how long the old Baltimore Colts wandered in the league’s wilderness searching for Johnny Unitas' replacement.

Using the dra, , trades and free-agent pickups, NFL contenders continually strive to strike a balance between the strength of their o* enses and defenses. But in the modern game, with its increasing emphasis on scoring and protecting quarterbacks more than any other player on the + eld, a top-- ight passing attack has become paramount. Manning was so

successful for so long that the Colts became dangerously lopsided.

During his tenure, their running game became an a, erthought and the defense, used to chasing opposing quarterbacks forced to throw o, en to make up the de+ cits Manning built, evolved into a one-dimensional unit. ) ey were fast enough to pressure the passer, but too small to win most wars of attrition.

With hindsight, it’s easy to see how Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay and football chief Bill Polian were caught unprepared. Manning, who turned 35 in March, hadn’t missed a game since the Colts used the + rst pick of the 1998 dra, to get him. During that

span, only Drew Brees of New Orleans contributed more to his team’s total o* ense — 72 percent vs. 71 — though that covers only the past + ve seasons, compared to 13 for Manning.

Brett Favre, who holds several NFL passing records Manning is still chasing, ranked third at 68 percent during a 10-year stint in Green Bay. Even Tom Brady, the Patriots’ three-time Super Bowl-winning QB whom Manning is most o, en measured against, comes in at the same 68 percent a, er 10 complete seasons as the starter in New England. All three rivals value to their teams was propped up by better, more consistent running games and defenses.

As contract negotiations continue between the administration’s bargaining team and the four campus unions, Anita Stoner says some progress has been made for the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association.

Stoner, visiting assistant professor of journalism and NTTFA president, said the union continues to bargain increased job security and appropriate layo! procedures. Randy Hughes, president of the Faculty Association, said the FA is concerned about layo! s for tenured faculty and distance education.

In an email to the campus community Friday, Chancellor Rita Cheng included a Frequently Asked Questions section titled “Know the facts: Distance education is not that scary!”

One question included in the section of the email was, “Can I be forced to teach a distance education course if I do not feel quali" ed in the subject area

or not technically savvy enough to do so?” # e response read, “# e university has no intention of forcing a faculty member to teach courses for which they are unquali" ed or unprepared to teach.”

Hughes, an associate professor of mathematics, said he considers Cheng’s comment to have missed the point. He said the faculty isn’t concerned about being competent enough to teach a distance education course.

“I think she wants to draw attention away from the real issues involved here,” Hughes said. “It’s a matter of academic freedom and academic responsibility. # ere’s still a remaining issue about whether or not a faculty member could be forced to use a particular method, particularly distance education.”

Students gathered outside of Anthony Hall Wednesday to support unionized faculty and share their opinions on the possible strike and Chancellor Rita Cheng’s emails.

Cheng sent an email to the campus community Friday, in which she addressed the union situation’s current status.

“Students came to SIUC to receive an education,” Cheng said. “Students are not directly involved in the labor negotiations between the university and the unions which bargain on behalf of the university employees, and they should not be used as unwilling pawns in the disagreement between the parties.”

Alexandra Kane, a junior form

Libertyville studying anthropology and an active member of the informal group SIU Students Against University Cuts, said she considers Cheng’s emails to be condescending, if not threatening.

“Rita Cheng calling students pawns was just insensitive and insulting,” she said.

University spokesman Rod Sievers said while students have the right to protest their own opinions, the only way of compromise is through the bargaining table.

T he idea that students are not involved is just an attempt to

make students apathetic and make them not take action when they can.

—Kyle Cheesewrightgraduate student in speech

communications from Durango, Colo.

W e believe there needs to be something more specific about what

circumstances might lead to a layoff.

—Randy Hughespresident of Faculty Association

A group of more than 50 students, faculty, sta! and community members gathered Wednesday for Occupy Carbondale’s second general assembly meeting at the Gaia House Interfaith Center to discuss the groups future and goals.

Occupy Carbondale is one of many branches of Occupy Wall Street, a movement that started in New York City when people

began to protest in the " nancial district Sept. 17. # e national groups localize issues in their area. Members of Carbondale’s group have said they want to bring democracy to southern Illinois.

# ose in the people-powered Occupy Wall Street movement have said they vow to end corruption of democracy. # e group is a leaderless resistance movement with people of di! erent backgrounds who say they will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent

of Americans who continue to become wealthy while 99 percent of Americans become poorer, according to Occupy Wall Street’s website.

Treesong, program director for Gaia House Interfaith Center and Carbondale resident, said the group is in its planning stages but the main goal is to challenge the in$ uence of corporate money on democracy.

“Right now, the people’s voice has a lot less to do with what has

happened in the government then how much corporations spend on funding certain candidates,” he said. “# at is how we ended up with a multi-trillion dollar bank bailout that bene" ted a small number of banks and didn’t really trickle down to any of us working people.”

At the meeting some questioned the goal of the group.

Leevi Burnett, a junior from En" eld studying physical therapy,

said clearly de" ned objectives should be set for any movement.

“Unless we have written down a list of what is wrong and what we hope to change through reasonable goals we can obtain…I don’t think we will have any ground to stand on. Until we get that done, we are just a bunch of people talking about everything,” Burnett said at the meeting.

! e SIU men’s golf team succeeded in the Skyhawk Fall Classic Monday and Tuesday with the help of a " rst place victory by junior golfer Jake Erickson.

Erickson clenched the individual title as the Salukis completed 14 strokes above second-place Jackson State University in Tuesday’s win. ! is was the " rst tournament victory for the team since March 2009. Erickson’s win was also the " rst for an individual since former Saluki Jordan Cox won the JSU National Invitational in September 2007, according to the Saluki Athletics website.

SIU hasn’t swept team or individual wins since the Blue Demon Invitational in 2003 when former Saluki Brian Norman won the tournament to lead the Salukis to triumph.

“I just tried to stay out of trouble out there,” Erickson said. “It wasn’t a long course, so I just stayed in the fairway and went for pars, and the birdies just came when I could get them.”

Erickson is now the eighth men’s golfer ever to win a tournament

with at least " ve teams and 20 golfers, and he posted a 70-70-69 (209) total score, which is seven under par, according to Saluki Athletics website.

Head coach Leroy Newton said he was very pleased with how the team played Monday and Tuesday, and he appreciated how everyone put in e# ort to make this tournament an SIU success.

“Everyone played well and everyone contributed,” he said. “We expected to win going in to the tournament, and we played smart golf and didn’t make mistakes, which was good enough to win this one.”

Newton said everyone is very proud of Erickson, and this is a huge accomplishment for him as a player and the entire team.

“Everyone was just so happy for Jake,” Newton said. “He played three solid rounds of golf. He didn’t do anything spectacular, but he played three good rounds of golf.”

Junior Brandon Cauldwell tied for ninth with a score of 218. He has " nished in the top 10 in three of this fall’s four tournaments.

Senior golfer Joe Goelzhauser, who scored 220, " nished third on the team and tied for 15th overall.

Goelzhauser jumped out to lead the tournament a$ er a " rst-round 68, which is three strokes better than his previous career-best of 65.

Junior Je# rey Miller " nished one stroke behind Goelzhauser to tie for 18th overall.

Senior Richie Williams rounded out the Saluki scoring with a 228, which tied him for 39th overall out of 80 golfers. Williams’ tournament

was highlighted by a career-best of 71 in the second round.

Senior Jared Harp improved his score each round and ended with an even-par third-round at 72.

Newton said he is overjoyed for the team’s success as well as Erickson’s great competitive performance.

“It's great to see him get the win,” Newton said.

! e men’s golf team will compete in one more tournament during this fall season.

A$ er a week of rest, the Salukis will travel Oct. 24-25 to Edwardsville, for their last tournament of the season.! e SIUE Invitational.
