Some students have pitched their big ideas in hopes to win some extra cash and recognition.

A new event this year titled the Saluki Idea Competition, received its last submissions !ursday and is open for voting online at siu.launcht.com today through Oct. 14. Similar competitions were held at other research universities, and the Saluki Idea Competition will be implemented at SIU annually, said Je" Myers, senior technology transfer specialist in the O#ce of the Vice Chancellor for Research, which helped organize the contest.

Winners can receive $500, $200 or $50 in cash through the competition or the $1,000 top prize provided by SIU’s Sustainability Council, said Amy Hunter, a technology transfer specialist who reviews the submissions. Creators of the top $ve submissions with the highest number of votes will present a three-minute pitch to a judge panel at the Technology and Innovation Expo Oct. 19 at the university’s Dunn-Richmond Economic Development Center, Hunter said.

“It is about innovative solutions to ideas and product services for inventions related to sustainability in your community,” Myers said.

Hunter said organizers built the crowd-voting feature so people could get involved on an interactive level. Complete submissions will each get their own page on the competition website, she said. Submitted campaigns are advertised, and Hunter said anyone can vote through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and LinkedIn.

Brandon Ringer, a senior from Springfield studying automotive technology, fishes for bass at Wednesday’s Bass Fishing Team meeting. The team held a paper tournament in which the lengths of the participant’s five longest fish catches are recorded, and the scores get tallied to determine the winner. “I wanted to find somebody with a boat, but I just enjoy fishing,” Ringer said.

Chancellor Rita Cheng said in her Sept. 5 State of the University Address that SIU’s ACT average is better than the state average.

“!e average high school class rank among this year’s freshmen is up compared to both 2011 and 2010, as is the average GPA,” she said.

Cheng said in her speech the average high school GPA score of new on-campus students was 2.77 in 2010, 2.81 in 2011 and 2.85 in 2011.

While SIUC’s GPA and ACT scores are up compared to years’ past, as well as just above the state averages, SIUC has lower scores than other state institutions.

Representatives from both SIUC and Eastern Illinois University said the universities take a holistic approach for freshman admittance and thus examine more than just high school GPA and ACT scores.

“Other schools have had similar competitions, but (they) have done it traditionally without the social media aspect,” Myers said.

Participants have to not only submit their idea, Hunter said, but they also have to explain what is unique about it and how it will make money.

Hunter said one of the competition’s bene!ts is that it will give students exposure and contacts along with monetary awards.

“Basically, this is going to give students additional support to take their ideas further if they want to, or they could just win their award and be happy with that,” Hunter said.

Fifteen total submissions were entered into the contest, she said.

Myers said the O"ce of the Vice Chancellor for Research is able to organize the competition and expo

through sponsors. One sponsor is the Sustainability Council, and others include separate campus colleges as well as local businesses.

“#e theme for the Saluki Idea Competition is sustainability in the community, so it seemed appropriate that we support them,” said Makayla Bonney, Sustainability Council chair.

Bonney said she liked the idea of giving students resources to empower their ideas.

Jeremy Koshak, a senior from Alameda, Calif., studying art, said he submitted his “Power Caulk Gun” idea to gain recognition. He said the idea promotes a new design for a caulk gun that is easier to use, time-

saving and more e"cient.“It was something fun to do

outside of class,” Koshak said.He said he will spend the prize

money on textbook expenses if he wins the competition.

Jeremy Packer, a sophomore from Metropolis studying computer science, said he has had his idea for a long time and has been working on it for nine months. He said his submission, called “Life at Southern,” aims to unite the campus.

Packer said “Life At Southern” is a new website and mobile app for students to discover and connect with events, places and activities around the area. Students on this website can

!nd events and attractions to visit in Carbondale through this platform, he said.

“I attended the help sessions for the Saluki Idea Competition, and they were really informative,” Packer said. “#is competition encourages students to get their ideas out there.”

Joy Christensen, a senior from St. Louis studying art, is part of the team that submitted the “HCV Test” campaign and said she would use her reward money to fund research and development of her idea. “HCV Test” is a project that aims to provide a home Hepatitis C diagnostic exam that is a$ordable, private, easy to conduct

and uses economically responsponsible materials, according to Christensen’s campaign information.

“#is competition is a way for our idea to get noticed by as many people as possible,” Christensen said.

Myers and Hunter both said they have high expectations for the competition.

“We have had other competitions that we have been indirectly involved in with limited success, but they have not really caught on like we wanted to,” Myers said.

She said she thinks it’s exciting how much interest the competition has received.

“We hope the whole idea grows with participation so that we could get more faculty and sponsors involved in the future,” Myers said.

#ough the language is most commonly spoken in northwestern Europe, Celtic connections are strong in southern Illinois with a Celtic radio show originating here as well as an annual festival.

#e 14th annual Southern Illinois Irish Festival in Carbondale will begin at 7:30 p.m. with an acoustic concert from Scottish singer and guitarist Ed Miller. #e concert will take place at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Carbondale as part of Cousin Andy’s Co$ee House, a not-for-pro!t organization that provides a smoke- and alcohol-free performance space.

#e Festival’s Celtic Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Turley Park with two music and dance stages, Highland Games, bagpipes

demonstrations, beer, wine and activities for children.

Bryan Kelso Crow, president of the festival’s board of directors and an associate professor of speech communication, said the Highland Games are a sort of Scottish strongman competition, and in recent years have been one of the festival’s biggest attractions. Crow, host of Celtic Connections radio show, said the Games’ proximity to the beer tents might be one reason for it’s popularity.

“People can drink inside the beer tents and watch the Highland Games without hurting their back at all,” he said.

Event preparation is nearly year-round, Crow said, with fundraisers throughout the year to help bring in the bands, dancers and vendors that make the event possible.

#e festival began in 1997 as a Celebration of Irish American Music by Charles Fanning, director

of the University’s Irish and Irish Immigration Studies Program, according to the festival’s website.

#ough the event isn’t new to the area, Mike Shanahan, the festival’s entertainment coordinator, said it’s only the second year the fair will be hosted in October.

“After 12 years in April, we just had to pick a drier date,” he said. “We settled on the !rst weekend of October because it doesn’t interfere with any Saluki home games, and for the past two years things have worked out well and the weather’s been great.”

Shanahan said WSIU-FM’s nation-ally-syndicated Celtic Connections

radio program and the festival make Carbondale a hub of regional Irish Celtic activities.

Saturday’s Celtic Fair performers include Carbondale’s Irish band #e Dorians, Johnston City Celtic duo Roisín Dubh, Irish and American singer E.L. Kurtz, Shaina’s Strings, dancers and musicians from St. Louis Irish Arts, St. Louis Irish !ddlers Kevin Buckley and Ian Walsh, and cameo appearances by Ed Miller and Chicago Reel.

Sunday’s “Celtic Roots, American Traditions” lineup includes Wil Maring and Robert Bowlin, #e Bankesters, Rural Kings, #e Dorians and Bone Dry River Band.

Admission at the park entrance will cost $5 each day, and children ages 12 and under have free entry.

Chicago Reel, a !ve-member Irish band from Chicago, will play at 7:00 p.m. Saturday at Rustle Hill Winery. Admission at the gate is $12 per person.

Brian Stone, a doctoral student in English from Rockford and member of the Irish Studies Forum — a Registered Student Organization of graduate students with Irish backgrounds — said though the southern Illinois Celtic community is small compared to the state’s northern section, the festival is a great opportunity to meet those with similar backgrounds.

“It’s a great chance for people to take pride and celebrate their heritage,” he said.

ILLINOISCellini thanks friends and family in court

CHICAGO — Convicted Springfield businessman William Cellini says he’s taken responsibility for his actions.

A federal judge sentenced the 77-year-old once known as the “King of Clout” on Thursday to a year and a day in prison.

He was convicted last year for his role in trying to get a $1.5 million campaign contribution for imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich from an Oscar-winning producer in exchange for state business.

Cellini made a rare public statement in court. Despite his reputation and high level contacts, he’s largely stayed out of the public eye.

He thanked friends and family and took responsibility for his actions. He also urged the judge to give him probation saying he didn’t think he has long to live. He’s suffered from numerous health problems.

Cellini declined to comment to reporters.

NEW YORKFire forward Franco suspended for transgression

NE W YORK — Major League Soccer’s disciplinary commit-tee has suspended Chicago Fire forward Guillermo Franco for an additional game and fined him an undisclosed amount for endangering the safety of an opponent.

Franco is accused of making a reckless challenge on Philadelphia Union midfielder Brian Carroll in the 78th minute of their game Wednesday night.

Because the referee issued a red card on the play, Franco will be suspended two games.

Franco will serve the first game of his suspension Saturday, when the Fire travel to face the New York Red Bulls. He will serve the second game Oct. 20 when the Fire play the New England Revolution.

ILLINOISIllinois woman pleads not guilty in baby’s death

ROCKFORD — A northern Illinois woman has pleaded not guilty to charges she left her newborn daughter to freeze to death on a rural roadside in 2004.

The Rockford Register Star reports Katie Stockton of Rockton entered the plea Thursday to a new indictment in her case. The indict-ment replaces four death penalty-eligible charges with six new charges punishable by life in prison. Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011.

It has been more than three years since Stockton was arrested in connection with the death of the infant known as Baby Crystal. Stockton wept as a judge read the charges. The case is next in court Nov. 13.

Police originally questioned Stockton after a newborn in a plastic bag was discovered frozen along a dead-end road near her parents’ home.

MADISON, Wis. — His performance panned, President Barack Obama is changing his debate strategy against Republican Mitt Romney, aides conceding the president must !nd a crisper way to sell his agenda and counter his opponent without getting lost in the weeds.

"e heart of Obama’s new message with less than !ve weeks to go: Romney is a liar.

Expect that theme — expressed in softer terms from the president than from his aides — to drive Obama’s advertising and messaging for days. Wednesday night’s debate showed Obama was rusty, rambling and cautious, but his aides insist he emerged with a real opening to target Romney’s assertions.

“Gov. Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth,” Obama declared in his !rst post-debate appearance, a "ursday rally in Denver. He displayed an energy that was conspicuously absent in the debate.

"e new line of argument is based on the Obama campaign’s contention that Romney, while sharp and commanding on the debate stage, delivered a series of statements that don’t stand up to factual scrutiny. "ey singled out Romney’s positions on tax cuts, education and outsourcing as misleading to the middle class.

David Plou#e, the Obama White House adviser who ran his 2008 campaign, called Romney’s performance “probably unprecedented in its dishonesty.”

Obama’s campaign quickly released an ad that raised questions about Romney’s honesty, arguing that he didn’t level with middle-class families on how his tax plan would a#ect them. “If we can’t trust him here, how could we ever trust him here?” the ad says.

It was airing in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia. Separately, a campaign o$cial said Obama’s team had its strongest fundraising month of the 2012 election cycle in September, exceeding August’s haul

of $114 million. "e o$cial would not say how much the campaign raised and requested anonymity because he or she was not authorized to discuss the fundraising publicly.

At the same time, the Obama camp was forced into its own di$cult appraisal of the president’s performance, with no shortage of critical outside opinions, either.

"ose close to Obama said he was so intent on answering questions and not letting Romney rile him that he came across as wonky and lacking punch.

“Obviously, moving forward, we’re going to take a hard look at this, and we’re going to have to make some judgments as to where to draw the line in these debates and how to use our time,” said David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s senior adviser. “I’m sure that we will make adjustments.”

Plou#e put it this way when asked about those adjustments: “We just need to account for Romney’s dishonesty.”

But Obama had other problems, driven in part by a debate format that does not play to his strengths.

!e Salukis faced some of the toughest individual competition they will see all year during the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s All-American.

!e singles tournament, which was held on the University of Tulsa’s campus Saturday, featured more than 300 of the strongest players from universities around the United States.

Senior Badr Cherradi, junior Rafael Cuadrillero and freshman Jonny Rigby competed in the event, but none were able to advance past the pre-qualifying round. Cuadrillero replaced Brandon Florez, who underwent treatment for knee tendinitis.

Cherradi fared the best of the three Salukis, as he advanced to the third pre-qualifying round. He defeated Grant Taylor from the Air Force Academy 6-4, 6-2 in the "rst round.

Ross Peets, of Southern Methodist University, fell to Cherradi 6-3, 6-2 in his second match. Cherradi lost to Florida State’s Anderson Reed.

Despite falling in pre-quali"cation,

Cherradi said he was happy with his tournament performance. He said his practice regiment was a big factor in his ability to advance to the third round.

“It’s the biggest tournament of the year,” he said. “I was prepared physically and mentally.”

Jonny Rigby lost 6-3, 7-6 in the "rst round to John Warden of the University of Oklahoma, one of the

nation’s premier college programs. Rigby said he was not disappointed with his e#ort at the All-American, which was his second college event.

“It was a close match. It could have gone either way,” he said. “I played better as a whole than I did the previous weekend.”

Assistant coach Alejandro Vial, who traveled to Tulsa with the team, said he thought Rigby struggled with his serve, which is his weapon.

He said although Rigby has had problems in singles play, he does not foresee it continuing as the freshman progresses and gains con"dence.

“!e good thing is that it’s nothing technical,” he said. “It’s nothing that he doesn’t have. !ose things are really "xable.”

Cuadrillero began play in the second round because of a "rst-round bye. He lost 6-3, 6-3 to Ettore Zito of Middle Tennessee State University, who defeated Cherradi during the previous weekend’s Dale Short Shootout.

Vial said he wants an intensity increase from his players, but he wants them to balance it with relaxation. He said the team needs to gain momentum.

“We are not yet able to put sequence together,” he said. “We may have one great game, but we cannot keep our minds in the present moment to keep working on (what we do in practice).”

A rebound win Saturday would be the best medicine for the SIU football team after last week’s 24-3 defeat by Indiana State University.

Unfortunately for the Salukis, their opponents are the undefeated Redbirds of Illinois State University, who are ranked ninth in the Football Championship Subdivision and o# to their best start since 1967.

Illinois State (5-0, 2-0) is strong on both sides of the football, as the team ranks second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference in total o#ense and third in total defense.

Coach Dale Lennon, at his weekly press conference, said the Salukis must forget about last week if they want to succeed Saturday.

“You can’t let frustration enter in,” he said. “We have to number one, put last week behind us and number two, keep playing your position and doing your job. Believe in the fact that good things will happen, and just be ready for those opportunities that come.”

One positive for the Salukis is the chance that Illinois State’s star running back Darrelynn Dunn might not take the "eld. Dunn averages 105.8 yards per game for the Redbirds, but reports say he may be unable to play because of a possible hand fracture.

SIU (2-3, 1-1) might also be without it’s own primary rushing weapon, junior running back Mika’il McCall. McCall injured his ankle in Saturday’s contest, and Lennon said Monday his status will be evaluated throughout the week.

Junior wide receiver John Lantz said even if McCall is unable to go, the team has the ability to put together a positive e#ort.

“I know we have good running backs who can step up and do the job for him. He might be able to play this week. We’re not sure,” Lantz

said. “Illinois State has a great o#ense. !ey’re 5-0, a top-25 team. We’ve got to have our best game. We still haven’t put our best game out there yet.”

Perhaps the most important factor in Saturday’s game will be the Salukis’ ability to convert on third down. SIU’s o#ense has converted only one opportunity in 26 tries in the past two weeks, and the team will be challenged by an ISU defense that has allowed opponents to convert only 28.6 percent (22 of 77) of third-down tries on the year.

“When we go three-and-out, it takes away from the momentum of the game,” Lantz said. “Our o#ense tends to get down on ourselves. We’ve got to work on getting "rst downs here and there and start moving the ball.”

Lennon said he strongly believes that once a few plays begin to go in the Salukis’ favor, more will follow.

“We’re capable of doing things o#ensively. It’s been frustrating the last two weeks, but we can move the football,” he said. “We can execute a

game plan. We just need to go out and do it. !at’s the message that we need to get across to the team and the con"dence that we have to build this week. It’s really one of those things that once you get the momentum going, hopefully you can sustain that.”

Junior quarterback Kory Faulkner said a win with their backs against the wall could jumpstart the Salukis as they head into the thick of the conference schedule.

“We’ve got to refocus and get back

to the basics and keep a positive attitude. None of us like losing,” Faulkner said. “We’ve got to get back to how we were. If we can go beat Illinois State, they are undefeated and everyone thinks of them as a top-tier program. If we could go back up there and get a win that would put this behind us.”

Kicko# is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Senior wide receiver David Lewis runs the ball during practice Thursday at Saluki Stadium. Lewis started the final two games in his junior year and was third on the team with an average 14 yards per catch. Senior nose tackle Kayon Swanson said the team has been very optimistic about the rest of the season and this weekend’s game against Illinois State University. “We should do good,” Swanson said. “Our front seven is pretty good, so we can get after their front five.”
