Romero said he thinks an alliance would be mutually bene!cial for both universities’ study abroad programs.
“Study abroad opportunities provide our students with the kind of exposure that makes them more con!dent in their country,” said Peter Gitau, associate vice chancellor and dean of students.
Gitau said agreements vary by university regarding how much students pay for tuition at SIU or an abroad university, and they do
not cost the university money. He also said almost all agreements allow students to transfer credits.
Sarvela said the contract may generate revenue for SIU over time.
“Agreements with such universities provide a super opportunity for international experience with a country very di"erent from ours,” Sarvela said.
He said the agreements create university faculty partnerships. He said professors often work together to create new research opportunities that often qualify for grant dollars.
“I think there are some incentives
to studying abroad,” Gitau said. “So those type of things attract students.”
Gitau also said !nancial aid and scholarships are easily available for students who want to take advantage of these study abroad agreements.
“Students sometimes do not even consider studying abroad because they consider it out of their means,” he said.
Sarvela said he thinks it will raise enrollment because students will see that they can have more than the typical college education through SIU.
“Students not only will receive
a traditional education, but learn about their !eld in Cuba,” he said.
Jon Davey, an SIU architecture professor, said he has taken architecture students abroad for the past eight years and will take students to Cuba this spring.
“One of the ways this agreement helps students is that they can see historic and colonial architecture in Havana,” Davey said. “Illinois, as well as SIU, has had a long history with Cuba. Paul Simon started the relationship through his outreaching to the University of Havana.”
Sarvela said the agreement will also
a"ect the colleges of music and art.“#ere is rich Cuban culture that
our students who are interested in studying music or art would speci!cally bene!t and learn from,” he said.
Sarvela said the Cubans have a lot to share with SIU.
“I think we accomplished our goal to get to know a di"erent university through their programs, students and research e"orts,” Sarvela said.
Animals are constantly brought to these shelters that cannot turn strays away and must be made for the new animals because the facility is small, Smith said.
“#ey do everything they can to get animals adopted, but being an animal control for an entire county, you have to make tough decisions,” she said.
Anderson said although Wright-Way occasionally has to turn animals away, the shelter is generally able to house most.
Any animal Wright-Way can’t keep can also be sent to its secondary adoption clinic in Niles, Anderson said.
She said the primary
Murphysboro facility is 10,000 square feet, and the Niles location is half that size. Another di"erence between a no-kill shelter and a kill shelter, Smith said, is the way the two entities are funded.
#e Marion Animal Control is funded by the city, she said.
Anderson said Wright-Way is funded solely through its adoption fees.
Kay Creese, executive director and veterinarian at no-kill shelter St. Francis Care, said the goal kill
and no-kill facilities work toward is quite clear. She said kill shelters are just as important to a community as a no-kill shelter and will often work cooperatively with no-kill facilities to ensure the animals’ well-being.
“Kill shelters are unfortunately a necessity,” Creese said. “#e kill shelters do a lot to try to get as many dogs into no-kill shelters as possible, but the numbers can often times be overwhelming. #ey do a good job in a very tough situation.”
If pet owners maintained their animals vigilantly and exhausted all options before turning them in, stray animals would be much less prevalent, she said.
However, if an owner realizes he or she can no longer care for a pet, Creese said, it is always better to bring the pets into a shelter than to dump them on the side of the road or in the middle of a forest.
Anderson said one service she has made available is a veterinarian clinic called Timber Trails, which
o"ers a"ordable vaccinations and operations to animals.
#e clinic opened in June, Anderson said, and o"ers as an aid to pet owners because when people get rid of their pets it’s often because they can’t a"ord to spay or neuter them on top of vaccination costs.
She said on top of the already low cost, Timber Trails o"ers discounts to pet owners who can show proof of social security, disability or a link card.
#e Niles Wright-Way center will hold an open house clinic from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 21 to treat animals for reduced rates without an appointment.
She said she took on the Touch of Nature Center administration when she became responsible for the Division of Continuing Education in her last four years as the associate provost for academic administration.
“I moved Touch of Nature out from under Continuing Education and had it reporting directly to me,” Logue said. “#is allowed me to work directly with the sta" and help turn around the de!cit spending trend that had been going on for many years.”
She said she !rst worked with Touch of Nature in 1979 as the Camp Little Giant beach director and found the experience rewarding.
Logue said she also enjoyed the opportunity to work on the Morris Library renovation project and her work as associate provost in 2007, even though it was a challenge. She said she took on the Morris Library project on the condition that she could do what she thought was best for the library.
“#e decisions were not always the most popular, but I was able to maintain a clear conscience in all of my work,” she said.
Some library sta" members said they thought Logue was a good leader.
Susan Tulis, associate dean of library a"airs, said Logue was instrumental in working with the university’s physical plant and others involved in library renovations.
Tulis said Logue was one of the longest working sta" members through her many positions at the library, and she was very proud of what she did.
“I don’t think anybody would disagree with the statement that she contributed a lot to this library and made it what it was today,” Tulis said.
David Schremp, procedures and systems analyst for the library, said he enjoyed working with Logue.
“Susan was a very organized
person,” he said. “She was very driven. She had her way of doing things. I think she was a get-it-done type of manager. She wanted to make sure projects kept moving.”
Schremp said Logue would set goals for him and other workers to meet. He said she would meet with individuals and provide them with tools if they lacked the resources.
“I thought she was very fair,” he said. “Whether anyone liked her or loved her or not, the fact is she did a good job.”
Logue said she retired from the university to pursue other goals.
“I decided to retire because I wanted to move on to di"erent things in my life,” she said. “I’ve worked there almost constantly since I was 17 years old and wanted to spend more time with my family and getting reacquainted with my hobbies and personal pursuits.”

Forms of guerilla marketing, endless fundraisers and even games of Red Rover are just a few ways the university’s Up ’til Dawn executive board hopes to raise awareness about this year’s event.
!e university will host its fourth annual Up ’til Dawn fundraiser from 9 p.m. Nov. 10 to 3 a.m. Nov. 11 at the Student Recreation Center to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which is in its 50th year of operation.
Donations to St. Jude are used to help fund childhood cancer patients’ care free of charge to the families, according to the hospital’s website. It also helps fund the research conducted to "nd cures for the diseases.
“Our main goal is to help fundraise and raise awareness for the hospital,” said Danielle Sheley, a senior from Taylorville studying interior design and Up ’til Dawn executive board director. “We plan from March to November, with several events leading up to the day.”
Sheley said Up ’til Dawn’s existing executive board conducts interviews every February to obtain 50 new members and start planning in March. !e board starts its awareness e#orts during the last week of September by handing out St. Jude buttons, ribbons and $yers.
!e following week is marketing blitz week, she said, in which the board focuses on event registration. Board members continue to hand out St. Jude gear as well as put on “Be a kid, save a kid” days outside Lawson and Morris Library by hosting games such as Four Square and Red Rover, she said.
Attending Up ’til Dawn can earn students volunteer hours through Saluki Volunteer Corps for both attending the event and participating, said Joseph Gulick, a senior from Villa Grove
studying physiology and member of the Up ’til Dawn executive board.
Sheley said a lot of time and volunteer hours go into making the event free for students to attend.
“We don’t want to spend money to make money,” she said. “We try to get as many sponsors as we can and get the community involved by going to local businesses "rst. We want to make sure that all the money is going to St. Jude. Even if it’s just the decorations, we’ll make sure to get all of those donated.”
Gulick said last year’s Up ’til Dawn event raised close to $66,000 in donations for the hospital. Of the more than 76 Up ’til Dawn events nationwide on collegiate campuses, he said SIU ranks fourth in its fundraising e#orts after only three years of hosting the event.
“I’d venture to say that it’s almost becoming a part of SIU culture,” Gulick said. “Our turnout has increased every year, and I do not anticipate this year being any di#erent. Generally, the more people that come, the more money we raise for St. Jude and the children that really need our help.”
!is year’s event will be a military theme and include a step show, zumba, in$atables, free food, prizes and an appearance from a St. Jude survivor named Max, who is in remission from acute myeloid leukemia said Sheley.
Participants are asked to bring 20 mailing addresses with which they will send out prewritten St. Jude letters. !e recipients of the letters then send their donations to the hospital.
“!is cause is something that we can be united about as a campus
community,” Gulick said. “We raise well over $60,000 each year in one single night. !at is something Salukis should be proud of. !is night isn’t just about raising money. It’s also about coming together and supporting a cause that so many people believe in.”
Sheley said many campus Registered Student Organizations form teams for the event, and any RSOs from Greek communities to individual clubs are welcome to attend.
“!e fraternity and sorority community holds community service strong within our values,”said Jesse Cler, a senior from Pen"eld studying agribusiness economics and plant and soil sciences as well as president of the Inter-Greek Council. “Having an opportunity as large as Up ‘til Dawn helps us get out and get involved in these positive charitable organizations.”
Alexis Bergman, a senior from Quincy studying zoology and a member of Students United and Making Major Impacts on Tradition, said the best part of participating in the event is knowing she is makes a di#erence just by showing up, sending 20 letters and having fun.
“I enjoy getting to hang out with people I don’t always see while doing something good and giving to an important cause,” she said. “I didn’t realize how much I was giving back. !ose 20 addresses are doing more than people can imagine.”
Rudy Faulkner, a graduate student in glass from Morgan Hill, Calif., carves a glass pumpkin Thursday in the hot glass studio in Pulliam Hall’s industrial wing. Faulkner said each pumpkin takes an average of 30 minutes to complete, and glass students worked together to create about 700 pumpkins. The pumpkins will be sold at the annual Southern Glass Works Glass Pumpkin Patch sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Town Square Pavilion. Proceeds will help the School of Art and Design build new equipment, bring in visiting artists and attend conferences such as the Glass Art Society Conference, said Cortney Boyd, visiting assistant professor of glass. “For the sale, we all donate our time in order to give back to our major,” Faulkner said.

Although Abraham Lincoln is often well-revered for his !ght for civil liberties, a new exhibit at the SIU School of Law shows he may have taken away some Americans’ rights.
A national traveling exhibit titled “Lincoln: "e Constitution and Civil War” focuses on how America’s 16th president dealt with civil liberties and constitutional rights during the Civil War.
"e National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs O#ce organized the exhibit with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. "e Lesar Law building will display the exhibit during normal building hours until Nov. 28.
"is demonstration supplements an event series scheduled this month focused on consitutional rights, said Douglas Lind, director of SIU’s Law Library.
“We are very honored and excited to have the exhibit here,” said Cynthia Fountaine, dean of the School of Law.
Alicia Ruiz, director of the School of Law for communications and public outreach, said the university’s law school has had programming in the past about Lincoln and his law process during his presidency. She said the focus on the constitutional rights would bene!t law students.
“We hope to introduce people who do not know much about the topic of the Civil War from the perspective of the constitutional issues,” Ruiz said.
Lind said many of the Civil War’s civil rights issues are relevant today.
He said the exhibit has three main aspects: the states’ right of succession, the slavery issue and the security of civil liberties.
One civil liberty that a$ected people during the Civil War and still today is habeas corpus, which orders a person in custody to be brought before a court so the prisoner can be released if the case lacks real cause or evidence. Lind said
habeas corpus is the right which requires o#cers to specify why they arrest a suspect. Lind said the executive branch has the option to suspend habeas corpus if it is in the government’s best interest.
He said habeas corpus was suspended for some time during Lincoln’s presidency. He said because it was suspended, the union was able to stay together during the Civil War because there were many civilian Confederate sympathizers arrested.
“People were often arrested for speaking out against the president, so arrests sometimes were based o$ political ideology,” Lind said.
Steven Macias, an assistant professor of law, said another example of how civil liberties a$ect people was when Japanese Americans were detained and deprived of their civil rights in the
U.S. because of a disloyalty fear after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. He said the U.S. could have learned lessons from the Civil War era and applied it to issues that surround civil liberties during World War II.
“Having a historical perspective can help someone appreciate what is going on today with the war on terror and Guantanamo Bay,” Macias said.
Despite the 9/11 terrorist attack, he said, Muslims were not detained and habeas corpus was not suspended.
“On a ground level look at civil liberties, there are some lessons that can be learned today,” Lind said.
Macias said Lincoln’s interpretation of the Constitution was questionable, and that aspect of his presidency is often overlooked in Civil War studies and research.
"e main question the exhibit proposes is whether faithfulness to the Constitution is more important than addressing problems as they arise, Macias said.
“During a very short period, all the three branches of government had to address constitutional issues and determine the founding father’s intent,” Lind said. “"e decisions made during Lincoln’s presidency form a foundation for future discussions of constitutional issues arising wartime.”
Fountaine said the exhibit’s goal is to expose Lincoln’s impact on southern Illinois and encourage SIU students and the community to learn about constitutional law. She said she hopes students will take advantage of this opportunity to gain knowledge.
“Any student interested in history, political science or Lincoln would be interested in this exhibit, which displays information in a new way,” Ruiz said.
Other events related to the exhibit can be found on the School of Law website.

!e SIU football team has a chance to seize a share of #rst place in the Missouri Valley Football Conference with a win on the road at Youngstown State Saturday.
!e Salukis (4-3, 3-1 MVC) head into Saturday’s matchup fresh o" of back-to-back wins against ranked conference opponents. Youngstown State (4-2, 1-2) has lost two straight after a hot start to the season that included an upset win over Football Bowl Subdivision opponent Pittsburgh in the season’s opening week.
At his weekly press conference, coach Dale Lennon said the Penguins will o"er some unique challenges to the Salukis.
“!ey know we run three down lineman. !ey will be game planning for that,” Lennon said. “!eir o"ense is a fun o"ense to watch. !ey are very well coached and will #nd your weak areas and know how to attack you. Every week is di"erent, so they will have a di"erent game plan for us, and they will throw some stu" at us that we haven’t seen. !at will be the key for us, how we adjust to that and how do we defend it.”
!e Salukis have thrived o" of big turnovers this season, including a blocked punt touchdown and a fumble returned for a touchdown Saturday against the University of Northern Iowa. Youngstown State has turned the ball over only four times this season, which is the fewest instances in the conference.
“We always try to put the o"ense in bad spots, so if they aren’t accustomed to turning the ball over, that is going to be the main thing we try to do is force them into bad situations,” senior linebacker Jayson Dimanche said. “When it’s time to make a play, we really make an e"ort to do so. You know when the game is on the line.”
Lennon preaches to his team the notion that a handful of plays can determine the game’s outcome. If the Salukis can come out on top in those big plays, it vastly improves their chances of leaving Youngstown with a win Saturday.
“We understand that every play has the possibility of becoming a big play,” sophomore linebacker Tyler Williamson said. “As a
defense, we learned that last week. We gave up too many big plays (against UNI). !ere was a big discretion between their explosive plays and their non-explosive plays. You’ve got to contain.”
Williamson said the Panthers gained close to 260 yards on #ve or six plays Saturday, and they ran only 180 yards on the remaining 58 plays.
Youngstown quarterback Kurt Hess is the Penguin o"ense’s leader. Hess completes 62.1 percent of his passing attempts and has turned the ball over twice this season, which is the fewest among the MVFC’s starting quarterbacks.
Hess also has been sacked only #ve times. !e Saluki defense leads the conference with 22 sacks on the year.
“(Youngstown State) returns a
veteran o"ensive line,” Lennon said. “All #ve of those individuals were playing last year. Plus, Hess is just good. He is tough to get to. We will have our schemes, and we will have our matchups. It’s not going to be automatic trying to get pressure on him every time they throw the football.”
Dimanche said the Saluki defense will be ready for whatever the Penguins throw at them.
“!ey are a good team. !ey’ve got some good players. It’s going to be tough. It will be a great challenge for us as a defense, and we’re looking forward to it.”
Kelly Krone, a junior from DuQuion studying buisness management, loses his hat while performing a bike trick Thursday on the half pipe in front of the Alice Wright Early Childhood Center. Krone said he has been riding BMX for seven years. Last weekend, Krone rode at the Texas Toast Jam in Austin, Texas, along with pro riders such as Ryan Nyquist. Krone said the most gratifying feeling comes from the satisfaction of learning a new trick. “When doing something out of your limits, it makes you nervous and its fun being scared every once in a while,” He said.
