PoetrySoutheast students celebrate International Poetry DayAmerican and international members of the Southeast Mis-souri State University community gathered in front of Kent Library on April 18 to celebrate Inter-national Poetry Day by reciting and listening to cultural poetry.

Presenters read selections written by international poets in their original languages. They then gave an English translation of each poem.

The event was sponsored by International Education and Services at Southeast. There were 23 readers from 12 different countries, according to Suzanne McKinney, assistant director of International Programming at Southeast. McKinney said readers included graduate and undergraduate students, as well as Southeast faculty and staff members, community members and a former foreign-exchange student.

McKinney said the program was organized as a way to celebrate International Poetry Month.

MusicalYoung Frankenstein comes alive at the River CampusThe Broadway musical “Young Frankenstein” was performed Sun-day in the Donald C. Bedell Perfor-mance Hall at Southeast Missouri State University’s River Campus.

“Young Frankenstein” is based on the 1974 movie of the same name, a comedy written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. It is a parody of the 1931 horror movie “Frankenstein” and the 1939 sequel “Son of Frankenstein.”

“Young Frankenstein” takes place in the year 1931. Scientist Frederick Frankenstein, the ashamed grandson of the mad scientist Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, must travel to Transylvania Heights to organize his late grandfather’s affairs.

Ten members of the Southeast Missouri State University football team may face punishment from the univer-sity for an incident April 13 that started in the locker room at Houck Stadium and then carried onto the fi eld.

According to a statement released by Diane Sides, assistant to the president at Southeast, the Department of Public Safety received a report of hazing on April 14.

The release stated that “After conducting an investigation, the Department of Public Safety reported that on the morning of April 13, 2012, approximately 10 members of the football team were alleged to have engaged in an incident in the team locker room at Houck Stadium in which several players had their arms, legs and mouths duct taped.”

The release also says that as the athletes tried to free themselves from the tape, other players carried them out to the football fi eld. Photographic evidence obtained by the Arrow through an independent investigation shows a football player in uniform lying on the Redhawks logo in

one endzone of Houck Stadium.The photo is a screenshot that

was taken of a YouTube.com video that was titled “College football team hazing freshman 2012.”

A link to the video was posted in a forum thread on the website semofans.com on April 13.

Since then, the thread has been removed from the site and the video has been made private on YouTube.

No member of the Arrow staff has seen the complete video.

DPS passed the case on to the Cape Girardeau County Prosecuting Attorney’s offi ce, but the prosecutor did not press formal charges against the athletes involved, according to the release.

The matter was then transferred to Southeast’s Offi ce of Student Conduct.

Randy Carter, assistant dean of students for the Offi ce of Student Conduct, declined to comment on the incident, but did comment on the university’s punishments for hazing.

“Depending on the severity, probation up to expulsion,” Carter said. “It just really depends on the severity.”

Mark Alnutt was announced as the new athletic director at South-east Missouri State University with his former boss at the University of Missouri in attendance.

“I think the fi rst is character,” Missouri’s athletic director Mike Alden said of Alnutt’s leadership traits. “It has to do with his integrity and his belief in doing things the right way. I think that is critically important in today’s day and age. In college athletics, I think with the challenges all of us have out there, you want to make sure you have a leader that has tremendous character, tremendous belief in the core values of your institution.”

Alnutt has worked in Missouri’s athletic department since 1998, the same year that Alden became the school’s athletic director.

Alnutt, who played football at Missouri from 1993-1995, held the jobs of director of football operations and assistant athletic director before becoming senior associate athletic director for the last two years.

Alden said that Alnutt will face challenges such as declining state department support for higher education that leads to less available resources, adherence to academic to integrity and gender equity during his tenure as an athletic director.

“That’s something I need to evaluate and see exactly where we are across the board with all of our sports and what enhancements need to be made,” Alnutt said. “That’s part of me getting out in the community and being able to be that person to help generate more resources.”

Alnutt is inheriting an athletic program that has been on probation since 2008 due to NCAA violations committed by the men’s and women’s basketball teams. The program will remain on probation until June 17, 2013.

Alnutt said he was able to talk to Southeast coaches about being compliant with NCAA rules. An alleged hazing incident involving 10 Southeast football players occurred on April 13 and was reported to the Department of Public Safety the following day. The incident will be reviewed by the Offi ce of Student Conduct because hazing violates the university’s code of student conduct.

“We have to be very compliant in terms of how we do things,” Alnutt said. “We have to establish a culture of ‘Ask before you act.’”

Alnutt received a fi ve-year contract, but the amount of money and incentives that he will receive have yet to be fi nalized.

He is the fi rst African-American athletic director for Southeast.

The 39-year-old will begin his duties at Southeast on or about May 21, according to a press release by the university.

He was introduced by Southeast president Kenneth W. Dobbins at a news conference that was open to the public at the Aleen Vogel Wehking Alumni Center.

Cape Girardeau mayor Harry Rediger and some Southeast coaches and athletes attended the conference.

Dobbins said that the university received 74 applications for the job.

Eight fi nalists were interviewed earlier this month and Alnutt

was one of the two fi nal candidates considered.

Alnutt was interviewed off campus on April 12 in St. Louis and was on campus Thursday for fi nal interviews, according to the press release.

Parker Executive Search was contracted by the university to fi nd suitable candidates for the position.

Cindy Gannon, Southeast’s associate athletic director and senior woman administrator, had been serving as the school’s interim athletic director since John Shafer retired from the position in June.

Shafer was the school’s athletics director for about two-and-a-half years.

Junior Taylor Westrick became the fi rst Southeast Missouri State University gymnast to compete at the NCAA National Championships at the Divi-sion I level when she competed on the beam Friday night.

The championship was in Duluth, Ga. at the Gwinett Center. The top 12 teams in the nation participated in the competition. Individuals who participated at this level had to place fi rst in their event at regionals.

“The experience here was fantastic,” Westrick said in a press release by the university. “The noise was deafening, it was such an amazing atmosphere. I learned a lot tonight after having to do a beam routine in this environment. Seeing the top 12 schools compete motivates me to get back to the gym and work harder. They had such great technique and stuck all of their landings. I can’t wait to get back in the gym.”

Westrick competed in the second semifi nal session at the championships. She scored a 9.850 in her session, and fi nished 28th overall.

“Taylor did an awesome job tonight,” Southeast coach Kristi Ewasko said in the press release. “She competed with the best and outscored some of the top collegiate gymnasts in the country. She has every right to hold her head high after tonight.

Her performance was a source of pride for both herself and the Southeast gymnastics team.”

Ewasko, who recently had a baby, was unable to work with Westrick the week prior to the National Championships.

“I’ve talked to Taylor multiple times,” Ewasko said in a phone interview on April 18. “She’d text me and let me know how her practices are going. We’ve stayed in contact, and I just pretty much try to encourage her and let her know how proud I am of her and how much she has earned this honor. She feels very grateful to be able to go and represent our program and also represent herself and the university at such a high, nationally-recognized competition.”

Westrick said that Ewasko keeping in contact with her and the assistant coaches that worked with her were able to help her prepare in the week leading up to the competition. She also said that she focused on refi ning the details of her routine, like dance elements and fi nishes, and also added new skills.

“It’s just the same thing as the rest of the year,” Westrick said in a phone interview on April 18. “She gives me my corrections and just tries to keep me relaxed. I just have a lot of belief behind me and support that really helps me stay relaxed and calm about it.”

Westrick will return to Southeast next season for her senior year. Ewasko said she

hopes that competing at the highest level in gymnastics will build Westrick’s confi dence.

“She’s defi nitely earned this honor,” Ewasko said. “It’s a great thing for this program. We

always knew we could continue to climb and make that next step and it’s exciting that she’s the fi rst person to kind of do that, and we hope to continue to build on that each year.”

Both the Bike ride and the run start and finish at the student recreation center-north.

Bradley ConwayArrow Reporter

ÂWith finals approaching at Southeast Mis-souri State University, the Office of Residence Life is giving students a chance to blow off some steam by hosting the Blow-Off Biathlon.

The race will take place on May 5, and will consist of a three-mile run and a 12-mile bike ride through Cape Girardeau. Participants will receive a T-shirt upon entry and have a chance to compete for a medal.

“If you’ve ever been on the fence about trying one of these crazy multi-sports, like a triathlon or a duathlon, then this one is just a good one to do,” said Eric Redinger, assistant director of outdoor adventure and facilities at Recreation Services. “It’s a local course, a local race. Very inexpensive, especially for students.”

The Blow-Off Biathlon can be done singularly or as a team. If students decide to pair up, one individual must run and the other must finish the race on his or her bike.

“I’m hoping we can get about 50 participants or more and give all of our T-shirts away and order more,” Redinger said. “The shirts are a red dry-fit material that has a cool design, and we have a one-of-a-kind award from local artist Matt Miller, who is a school teacher in Scott City and was a Southeast graduate.”

The course will start at the Student Recreation Center-North under the bridge that crosses over New Madrid Street and go along North Sprigg Street to Lexington Avenue then back to the bridge. The course will be a mixture of hills and flat roads. If participants want to look at a more detailed map then they can go to usatf.org and search for “Blow-Off Biathlon.”

“Medals will be for age group and overall winners, male and female,” Redinger said. “I’m hoping we can give medals three deep to each age-group winners, but I’m not sure yet.”

Pre-registration will run though May 4. Students signing up must present a valid Southeast ID and will be charged $15 while non-Southeast students will be charged $20. Race day registration will run from 7:30-8:30 a.m., with an additional $5 charge

to anyone signing up that morning.“We wanted to figure out a way,

right before finals, to blow off some steam,” Redinger said. “It’s a fun and challenging event that will also test the participants, and what perfect way would it be to have a race that is cheap for everyone. You really can’t find another race that’s inexpensive like this one.”

The money raised will be donated to Southeast’s Autism Center for Diagnosis and Treatment to support children in the area diagnosed with autism.

“Anything above and beyond our own cost for the event will go to the Southeast Autism Center on campus,” Redinger said.

To register for the Blow-Off Biathlon and look at the basic course map, go to semo.edu. Redinger can be contacted for information at [email protected] or 573-651-2417.

PRESENTRAGEFEST will feature fi ve bands for freeVANATTICA, JOSH LYNN WITH THE MONSTARS, GUY MORGAN AND THE FT CREW, THE BIG IDEA AND SAMURIOT WILL PERFORM



Savanna MaueArrow Staff Writer

This year’s RAGEFEST concert, hosted by Southeast Mis-souri State University’s radio station Rage 103.7, has two more bands on its set list to help increase its popularity and attract more listeners.

“I think we are going to try to outdo ourselves from last year,” Rage 103.7 station director Sean Kenney said.

Vanattica, Josh Lynn with the Monstars, Guy Morgan and the FT Crew, The Big Idea and Samuriot will each get about 45 minutes to play between noon and 6 p.m. April 28 on the Academic Terraces.

“RAGEFEST is a free concert that we are putting on featuring bands from our local spotlight, which plays at the top of every hour on our radio station,” Kenney said. “So the bands that are the most local and have the most presence in Cape are the ones RAGEFEST is trying to feature.”

The Rage staff chooses the bands. Station manager Audra Wiant picked Vanttica because it was a favorite last year. Program director Jimmy Bernhard picked Samuriot. Haley Medlin, host of Hulahae’s Local Hour on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m., recruited Josh Lynn with the Monstars and The Big Idea. Kenney will be performing with his band Guy Morgan and the FT Crew.

“[Expanding] actually did not require a lot of extra work.” Wiant said. “The bands choose to come to this because we play their music on the radio. Most of them are independent and self-promoted, and these are bands that are in the local spotlight, have been on local Hulahae or are interested in being in that local spotlight. So it’s really just a means of self-promotion.”

The location is also intriguing to some of the bands. It is not very common that a band has

the opportunity to perform on a natural outdoor stage.

“[We play] because a lot of our members are associated with Southeast,” Jason Heeter of Josh Lynn with the Monstars said. “It’s a great opportunity. We love the campus, and I’ve always wanted to play on the terraces.”

Wiant hopes that providing a variety of bands will help make the show more entertaining for the audience.

“Our choice to broaden the style of bands was made simply by the knowledge that people change stations and listen to different types of music, and they have a lot of different styles that they listen to,” Wiant said.

The only off-campus resources will be provided by Shivelbine Music and Sound, which donated the sound system.

“We do it all for free,” Wiant said. “No one pays for it, the artists all donate their time, and it is just solely to entertain the students on campus.”

The Second Annual World Dis-cussion Panel will bring South-east Missouri State University students together to learn about religions and philosophies other than those they follow.

“The event was created because a group of people, myself included, noticed that most people don’t know much about religions aside from their own,” said Eric Ralfs, a mental health counseling graduate student and event organizer. “Unfortunately, when people don’t know things about other people, they start to make things up or

believe what other people say.”A panel of students representing

different belief systems will discuss world issues and how their beliefs tie into their views .

In addition to questions asked by moderator and Southeast music major Deane Buckingham, the audience members will be able to ask their own questions.

Last year’s panel included topics such as the infl uence of the church against the state, science, violence in relation to religion and the practicality of pacifi sm and utilitarianism.

Last year the panel only had three members, who represented Catholicism, Islam and secular beliefs. Ralfs said it was diffi cult

to come up with a format that engaged the audience but did not overwhelm the panelists.

“We had a decent-sized list of topics for last year’s event, but we only got through half of them because the audience really got suckered into the experience and asked questions following nearly every panel member’s response,” Ralfs said.

In addition to the groups from the previous year, Judaism, Protestantism and pagan beliefs will be represented on the panel.

Three-fourths of the time will be devoted to audience questions due to the response from last year.

Ralfs describes himself as “a rambling man.” He is involved

in 18 organizations and has two on-campus jobs, which allows him to be in contact with many groups. Among these organizations are nine religious organizations, both on and off-campus, despite the fact that Ralfs is an agnostic-atheist. Ralfs is able to bring events to the Campus Association of Student Ministries’ attention that it would not hear about normally.

“This has basically been a pet project of mine since August,” Ralfs said. “I started talking to different organizations about the event during their various events during Welcome Back Week. After going to last year’s event, I started interacting with both the

Panel to discuss religious worldviewsCatholic Campus Ministry and the Muslim Student Association. By the time the school year ended, I thought to myself, ‘This needs to happen again.’”

Buckingham said he hopes the panel will offer everyone involved a chance to learn about other religions and worldviews.

“Religious dialogue today mainly consists far more of negative value judgments and accusations with little-to-no experience to back it up,” Buckingham said.

The Secular Student Association and the Campus Association of Student Ministries will sponsor the panel, which is open to all students, at 7 p.m.

“It’s a great opportunity. We love the campus, and I’ve always wanted to play on the terraces.Jason Heeter

ENTERTAINCIRCUS tent rises at Show Me Center

THE RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS PROVIDES FAMILY FUN FOR SOUTHEAST

Whitney LawArrow Reporter

The Show Me Center will be full of elephants, clowns and acro-bats when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus perform the new “Barnum Bash” tour.The “Barnum Bash” is a new show for the world-renown circus troupe. It will feature classic and beloved circus acts as well as some new performances.

The “Barnum Bash” will feature exotic animals, clowns, acrobats and trapeze artists, motorcycle stunts, comedians, dancers and an award-winning strongman.

An hour before the circus performance begins, there will be a Rockin’ All-Access Pre-Show free with the price of admission. Audience members will have the opportunity to mingle with performers and get pictures and autographs with them. Attendees can also learn dance moves from the clowns, learn how to juggle and take an up-close look at the exotic animals at the pre-show.

Southeast Missouri State University political science professor Dr. Jeremy Walling’s 5-year-old son Jefferson Walling said that he thinks it would be fun to go to the circus. He said that he would love to see elephants on elephants and the strongman would be his favorite part.

“I love juggling,” Jefferson Walling said. “I can’t really do it, but I love it.”

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus was at the Show Me Center last year, but

this show will be different. Show Me Center marketing director Josh Hanlon said that at last year’s performance there was a motorcycle on a tightrope, so you never know just what to expect.

The show will feature stunts in a motorcycle globe, strongman Dmytrio Khaladzhy and fi rst-generation circus performer Francleib Rodrigues, who will walk upside down while high above the audience without nets or harnesses, suspended from aerial foot loops that allow him to spin and skip from truss to truss.

Hanlon said that the show also includes a famous clown duo that was on season 20 of the television show “Amazing Race.”

The animal trainers and presenters for this show are seventh-generation animal trainer and performer Cathy Carden and her husband, fourth-generation circus performer

Brett Carden, who was born and raised in Springfi eld, Mo.

“This is one of the biggest circuses in the world, the Ringling Bros. crew,” Hanlon said. “We’re bringing the real deal here; it’s not some offshoot of them. It’s the real thing.”

Hanlon said that this show is affordable enough for most people to be able to bring their whole family. He also said that this is a great family event that almost any child could enjoy, but it’s not just for the kids.

The “Barnum Bash” will be at 7 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday at the Show Me Center. The doors will open for the pre-show one hour prior to show time. Tickets cost either $11 or $35 depending on the seat location. Tickets are available at the Show Me Center ticket offi ce or online at showmecenter.biz.

PARTICIPATEWALK for a cure at Relay for LifeEVENT HOSTED BY CITIES AROUND UNITED STATES TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANCER RESEARCH


Amity DowningArrow Staff Writer

Looking at Joyce Penny, one would not know that she was diagnosed with cancer of her lymphoid tissue four years ago. One would not know that she has lost her brother, mother, father and three cousins to cancer. One would not know that three more of her cousins have cancer right now. They would only see her smile.

Penny has been in remission since September 2008 and has been involved in Relay for Life since 2009. Relay for Life is an annual American Cancer Society event hosted by cities around the United States to raise money for cancer research. This year Penny is the event co-chair of Relay for Life on April 28 in Cape Girardeau.

Penny was diagnosed with follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2008 and is a Hero of Hope for the American Cancer Society. Penny speaks to groups about what it is like to have and survive cancer, as well

as what the American Cancer Society offers cancer patients.

“I actually used the American Cancer Society when I got my diagnosis,” Penny said. “Immediately, that day I called and had them send me information on my cancer. I had to come up with a goal, as a Hero of Hope, so my goal was to get Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) started on SEMO’s campus.”

The Southeast branch of CAC was founded in January and has around 30 members. Southeast student and CAC President Rachel Peck said they set a fundraising goal of $1,500 for Relay for Life this year. “It’s kind of a small goal, but since we were fi rst starting out we didn’t know how much support we’d get,” Peck said.

After raising just under $1,000 from a dodgeball tournament called “Grab Your Balls” CAC hosted earlier this semester, Peck is confi dent their goal will be reached.

Other student organizations from Southeast involved in this

year’s Relay for Life are Chartwell’s, Gamma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi and Gamma Phi Beta.

Penny’s Relay for Life team, Go SEMO, has raised around $6,000, and Penny is determined it will meet their goal of $10,000. Go SEMO raised a total of $10,884 for the American Cancer Society at last year’s event.

Relay for Life will be held inside the Arena Building, where it has been located for the past two years. However, Penny said, weather permitting, they hope to create a track that will be part indoor and part outdoor.

“We’re quickly outgrowing the Arena Building,” Penny said. Throughout the night, 47 teams and 600 participants will continue fundraising with bake sales, raffl es, contests, games and entertainment.

The Luminaria Ceremony will be held at 9:30 p.m. Candles sitting in bags of sand will be lit, each one in honor of someone who has been touched by cancer.

Names will be read in

remembrance of those who have died from cancer and to honor those who are still battling the disease.

Kelli Schenimann is the community manager of development for the American Cancer Society offi ce in Cape Girardeau. Schenimann began her involvement with Relay for Life as an intern for the American Cancer S ociety in college.

“Last year the event raised $192,000,” Schenimann said. “This year we are right on track to reach our goal of $195,000. Teams work year round to ensure the success of Relay. Without the support of our teams, this event wouldn’t be successful.”

Next year CAC hopes to get more Southeast students involved in fundraising for Relay for Life.

“The goal is to have an on-campus Relay for Life next year,” Penny said. “We’ll still have the community one, but we’ll actually have one just for the college students, too.”

Although Penny and her family

have been devastated by multiple types of cancer, she has a very positive outlook on life. She puts her heart and soul into planning, fundraising and organizing for the annual Relay for Life event.

Penny knows fi rsthand the importance of cancer research, as well as the programs and benefi ts the American Cancer Society is able to provide cancer patients.

“There is such a need for people to help in any way they can,” Penny said. “People understand not only is Relay for Life about remembering and getting well and everything, it’s also a carnival atmosphere. It’s a celebration of life.”

Relay for Life will be held from 5 p.m. April 28 to 5 a.m. April 29 at the Arena Building. All members of the community are welcome to join the festivities, even if they are not a registered member of a team. All money raised before and during the Relay for Life event will be donated to the American Cancer Society to fund further cancer research.

Carpe Diem Spring 2012 will offer Southeast students, staff and community members a night of cultural diversity.

This semester the biannual event will be held at 7 p.m. April 28 in the University Center.

According to Priya Tauro, a graduate assistant in the Offi ce of Residence Life and part of the Carpe Diem planning committee, this year’s event will include a variety of multi-ethnic experiences for those who attend.

There will be a fashion show featuring around 20 different ethnic clothing styles.

Food served at the event

will range from crepes to Nepalese dumplings, fried rice and African-style plantains.

The Southeast dance department will present an Afro-modern dance, a tap dance and a Bollywood-style routine. Southeast’s international students will also perform traditional dances from their native countries.

Tauro said that Carpe Diem will be the result of a lot of hard work on the part of the Offi ce of Residence Life, the planning committee and others involved.

“There’s a lot of planning, and it’s been going on for months now,” Tauro said.

According to Tauro, everyone will be welcome at the event, including non-student community

members and families. Tauro said she hopes that

area families will bring their children to have a good time and learn from the event.

“Although it’s a fun program, it’s a very culturally educational program, too,” Tauro said.

Tauro said that Carpe Diem is a night to celebrate and have a good time, but it is also a time to embrace the diversity of cultures at Southeast and in Cape Girardeau.

“The purpose of Carpe Diem is to celebrate every student on this

Carpe Diem provides multicultural experience at SEMO

campus and not just to celebrate every student, but where they come from, what they are and what they represent,” Tauro said.

More information about the upcoming event can be found on the Carpe Diem Spring 2012 Facebook page.

Last week, Broadway Street was closed to traffi c between Main and Spanish Streets.

The block will be closed for approximately two weeks as Fronabarger Concreters begins Cape Girardeau’s Broadway corridor project, which is expected to cost $4.41 million and will include new lighting, walkways and landscaping as well as road repair.

The two-block section from Water to Spanish Streets has been under construction since April 9.

New sidewalks, curbs and gutters were installed. The intersection of Broadway and Spanish Streets is still closed according to the City of Cape Girardeau Transportation blog. Workers are installing new pavers, crosswalks, tree planter boxes

and other improvements. Old Town Cape executive

director Marla Mills said the construction will eventually reach Pacifi c Street.

“We have worked with the Chamber of Commerce in the city to develop a communication chain to try and make sure that both the public and the businesses are aware of the changes as the changes happen,” Mills said.

Old Town Cape’s goal is to gather advanced information about the closures.

It encourages the companies along Broadway to develop a plan to try to negate the impact that the construction may have on their business.

Several businesses are revamping to begin offering delivery services and providing other entrances for their customers.

“If the block is closed where a

business only has a front door, you should be able to access that by a pedestrian path,” Mills said. “In other words, you may not be able to park or drive in that block, but you should be able to walk to that store.”

In order to keep the Broadway project running smoothly an agreement was made between the construction company and the city to ensure that no section of street is closed over 21 days. Fronabarger will be forced to pay a penalty of $10,000 for every day the project is delayed.

The agreement holds the construction company accountable and sets a time frame for each section of construction as well as the overall project.

“I think overall the idea of the improvements and the long-term impact that it will have, as far as drawing in new business and new interest to the block

Beautifying Broadway: Broadway closed from Main Street to Spanish Street

on the Broadway corridor, has already started,” Mills said. “We already have more and more people who are interested. When I talk to people who are thinking about putting a business in, the idea of the streetscape and the

road enhancement has been a very positive point for them.”

The project is expected to be fi nished before Nov. 5 and the completion of the $125 million casino that is under construction a few blocks from Main Street.

As part of the Broadway construction, workers have installed new side-walks, curbs and gutters. They are installing new pavers, crosswalks, tree planter boxes and other improvements. - Southeast Missourian photo

KATHY SMITH’S EXHIBIT IN CRISP MUSEUM INCLUDES A BODY OF WORK SHE REFERS TO AS “OLD MOVIE CLASSIC”

Jacqueline IrigoyenOnline Editor

Kathy Smith, an assistant profes-sor of art and foundations coordinator, feels an intimate con-nection with movies, which she will share with viewers at the Crisp Museum at Southeast Missouri State University’s River Campus.

Smith is showing a new collection of pantings that she refers to as “old movie classic.”

To create her artwork, she chose a particular scene from a movie and took a snapshot of it.

She then put it into Photoshop for editing to help personalize the image.

She ended the process by painting the scene.

“I fell in love with movies a long time ago and have been collecting old fi lms for many years,” Smith said.

Smith likes to use post-World War II fi lms and British fi lm noir.

She researches the movie and spends a lot of time viewing it to see which scenes stick out to her.

Smith tries to capture dark and mysterious moments.

She uses actors and actresses in her paintings, but obscures them so they aren’t easily identifi ed and aren’t the main focus.

Smith also likes to include human relationships and the psychological drama in people’s lives in her artwork.

“I fi nd people’s stories very interesting and that is how I

get the ideas and inspiration for my work,” Smith said.

One piece that Smith will be showing at her event is a scene inspired by the movie “The Letter.”

“The scene I captured was when an actress murders her lover because he left her for someone else,” Smith said.

Smith’s passion for old fi lms gives her an appreciation for black and white fi lms.

She believes a key component to fi lmmaking is how the director produces the fi lm and the characterization.

Smith’s exhibit uses very little color to emphasize lighting.

“Black and white fi lms have a lot of power with the use of lighting,” Smith said. “I am not a real fan of all the new movies using computerized elements and extra features because sometimes less is better.”

Smith has always known she wanted to work in the art community.

“When I was younger and I got my driver’s license, instead of going shopping I wanted to go to art museums,” Smith said. “I have always found art fascinating.”

Crisp Museum director Peter Nguyen said that Smith’s exhibit will be entertaining to viewers.

“Viewers can expect to see Kathy Smith’s interest in how fi lms stills can draw the viewer into the story and the changing reactions to the viewing constantly changing,” Nguyen said.

According to Nguyen, when putting together transition spaces events, the fi rst thing that needs to be done is the selection of the artist and a part of their body of work.

Then a press release is sent out and the installation process begins.

The gallery hosts an opening reception for the artist and sometimes the exhibit will also feature a lecture from the artist.

Smith will hold a presentation of her collection at a transition spaces event from 4-8 p.m. with a gallery talk at 5 p.m. May 4 at the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum.

Parking Permit TypesPerimeter Parking Permits A perimeter parking permit can be purchased for the fall, spring and summer semesters at a cost of $105. Students can purchase spring and summer perimeter parking permits for $79. Summer perimeter parking permits can be purchased for $59. These permits are available to students with 29 or less cumulative hours, students who applied for preferred parking but were denied or students who choose the perimeter permits.

Preferred Parking PermitsThere are two types of preferred parking permits — preferred commuter and preferred resident. Preferred commuter permits are available to students who live off campus and have completed 30 or more credits hours. Preferred resident permits can be purchased by students living in on-campus housing and have completed 30 or more credit hours. Both of these permits are distributed for the upcoming academic year through a seniority-based lottery system held in July. The permits will be distributed while available parking spots remain. When parking is no longer available in preferred parking lots, perimeter parking is assigned to those individuals and their name is placed on a waiting list. Students may refuse a perimeter parking permit, and their name is taken off the waiting list. A preferred parking permit can be purchased for the fall, spring and summer semesters for $155. A student can purchase a permit for the spring and summer semesters for $116. River Campus preferred parking permits are $135 for the year.

Evening Only PermitsStudents attending only evening classes or who choose to park on campus only after 1:30 p.m. can purchase evening-only permits for the fall, spring and summer semesters combined for $55. A combined spring and summer permit can be purchased for $41. Students with this parking permit can park in any preferred commuter lot after 1:30 p.m. or can park in employee lots after 5 p.m., except at residence halls.

Disabled Parking PermitsDisabled parking permits are available for students, faculty and staff.

Motorized Scooters and Motorcycles Parking PermitsMotorized scooter and motorcycle permits are available to students, faculty and staff for the fall, spring and summer semester together for $50. A spring and summer permit is available for $32, and summer only permits are available for $15. If the student has already purchased a motor vehicle permit for the academic year, motorized scooter and motorcycle permits can be purchased for $25 for the fall, spring and summer semesters, for $15 for the spring and summer semesters and for $5 for the summer semester.

*Parking at the Student Recreation Center-North is by permit only. Student parking is available for any permit in designated spaces for no more than two hours.

An unregistered vehicle without a visitor’s past will result in a $20 fine on the first offense. If the ticket can be traced to a student’s parents or relatives that student will be charged with the fine. Visitors can obtain free temporary parking permits at Parking Services when they arrive on campus.

What happens if I don’t pay my parking tickets?After five unpaid tickets, a letter is sent to the vehicle’s owner explaining the consequence of additional tickets. After 10 unpaid tickets, a second letter is sent and the owner of the vehicle is asked to contact Parking Services. At 11 unpaid tickets, a third letter is sent to the owner as well as to Judicial Affairs, which may issue a notice to appear to the vehicle owner. Judicial Affairs may rule that the vehicle be booted or towed and the violator’s parking privileges revoked.

Student permits must be displayed on the left side of a vehicle’s back window. Failure to register will result in parking citations and/or impounding or towing.

Parking is an oft-discussed topic at Southeast Missouri State University. Where and when a student can park can be confusing if they don’t know the rules set by the Department of Public Safety’s Parking Services.

**Students not returning for the second semester of the academic year may return their parking permit for a partial refund. If the vehicle with the student’s permit is replaced, the orginal permit must be returned to Parking Services for a replacement. Failure to return the original will result in additional fees for a replacement permit.

ADOPTBE informed before adopting a pet

WHAT EVERY PET OWNER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE CITY OF CAPE GIRARDEAU’S RULES


Roxie Meyer Arrow Staff Writer

A new town, strange faces and a taste of independence in a new apartment is just enough enticement for some Southeast Missouri State University students to think about adopting a new pet from the Cape Girardeau Humane Society. However, adopting a pet without planning for the future may mean having to return it later.

“A lot of times when we’re young we don’t realize what a 15-year commitment means, and that’s what we want you to look at when you are adopting a pet,” Southeast Humane Society volunteer Requi Salter said. “You will still have this pet for the next 15 years to take with you.”

Salter has been a volunteer at the Humane Society for 20 years. She said in the past the Humane Society in Cape Girardeau has had problems with students adopting animals only to return them at the end of semester. According to Salter, there are many reasons for the return. Sometimes living arrangements change and pets are not allowed, students don’t have time to take care of the animal or they can’t afford the animal.

“Puppies are easy to adopt out, but when they are brought back at seven to nine months old, those are the hardest to adopt out,” Salter said. “By then the training that should have been done as a puppy was neglected and that makes it harder to adopt out as well.”

Consultants at the shelter meet with potential pet owners to prepare them for the changes an animal would make in their lives.

“I always tell everybody, ‘When you get a puppy, something you love and of value will be destroyed,’” Salter said. “Know up front it’s going to happen.”

Before the adoption process is started, the adoption consultant calls landlords and property owners to confi rm animals are allowed on the property where the animal will be kept.

If there already are animals at the residence they must have up-to-date shots and vaccinations before the new animal may be taken home.

“The leash laws are a biggie, though,” Salter said.

The leash law is ordinance 6-29 in Cape Girardeau’s Animal Ordinances. It states that all dogs must be on a leash or tied up on the owners or keeper’s property. The city has four ordinances that directly affect students with pets.

According to ordinance 6-38, animals within city limits must be pinned or chained on the owner’s property and within 300 feet of the residence and at least 20 feet away from any neighboring residences. Ordinance 6-26 requires dogs and cats wear a license purchased from the city clerk or any of the local veterinarians. If a license is lost, the owner should contact the business it was purchased from or have a receipt of the purchase to receive a replacement. Licenses must be renewed annually by April 1 and cost depends on age of the owner and whether or not the animal has been spayed or neutered.

“I think it’s a discount encouragement for a lot of people,” patrolman and supervisor of the Nuisance and Abatement offi ce Ty Metzger said about the price difference for the animal licenses.

According to the ordinance 6-26, senior citizens with a spayed or neutered animal are charged $1 for a license and senior citizens with an animal that is not spayed or neutered are charged $3 for a license. For citizens under the age of 65, the license rate is $3 for a spayed or neutered animal or $15 for animals that have not been altered.

“We don’t just come up to your house and ask if an incident has occurred or if your animal has gotten loose or if someone has complained,” Metzger said about leash-law enforcement. “It may just be one of those things if your animal

is at large that draws our attention.” Ordinance 6-36 also allows no more than

eight animals per property and no more than four of those animals may be dogs. If the four animals have not been spayed or neutered, the number of same species of animals allowed on the property decreases.

According to Metzger, offi cers may ask if an animal has a license and ticket an offender at their discretion. If a ticket is issued, the offender must speak with a judge to determine a fi ne. The fi ne is doubled for each consecutive offense.

Animal owners are required to provide proof of rabies and vaccination shots for animals older than three months, according to ordinance 6-26. Owners are also responsible for any property, damages, and containment of the animal in their care or the animal may be declared a nuisance according to ordinance 6-31.

In light of the long-term responsibilities and laws of pet ownership, Salter recommends students become involved in the shelter’s foster animal program.

“I do believe this is the best place in the world to fi nd a pet when you’re ready,” Salter said. “If you can’t have a pet at home, volunteer so you can get your pet fi x and make a difference.”

Former Southeast student Brianna McMaster lived with her roommate and her Blue Heeler, Diesel, while attending school.

After graduating in 2010 she volunteered as an animal foster parent instead of adopting more pets.

“The biggest challenge is fi nding an apartment that would accept pets,” McMaster said about 65-pound Diesel.

McMaster said her roommate’s main complaint is the amount of pet hair Diesel sheds and the loss of almost 15 pairs of shoes between the two girls.

When McMaster has foster animals in the house she uses children’s play pens to contain puppies and kittens.

Older animals may be a better choice for students who don’t have as much time on their hands.

“My dog goes with me almost everywhere,” Southeast senior Bobbie Piatchek said of her 7-year-old Beagle, Scout. “The hardest part is having time to take him for walks, so luckily he is an older dog so he can stay home by himself.”

Piatchek said her landlord usually charges a $50 pet deposit and an extra $25 a month to keep animals.

“It’s a lot of responsibility,” Piatchek said. “You can’t stay out all night and play.”

If students want to adopt an animal from Cape Girardeau’s Humane Society, they must be over 21 or prove that that are responsible, have their own house and hold a job before they can adopt a pet.

“We try to make the placements permanent,” Salter said. “This animal is yours for life.”

Zeuxis, an organization formed by a group of painters in 1995 in New York, will exhibit its modernist paintings at the Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at the River Campus from May 4 to June 30.

“Zeuxis: Refl ections” will include works of Zeuxis artists as well as guest painters. Artists will show still life on their canvases with an incorporated refl ecting object, both which were chosen by the painter. Students are encouraged to visit the gallery and some art majors are required to attend this exhibition by their professors.

Zeuxis started exhibiting work in several museums and art galleries in 2002 in New York. Phyllis Floyd, a painter and organizer of the project, was able to build the organization

by gathering painters with different views about perceptual painting to work with her.

“We choose the best painters we can fi nd because they bring us all up to a higher level,” Floyd said.

Organization leaders choose not only who will exhibit but also their guests, who are well-known and several of whom are affi liated with commercial galleries in New York.

“They are real guests, not paying guests,” Floyd said.

All of Zeuxis’ exhibitions have a specifi c theme to make them more attractive to galleries and museums, a catalogue containing information about the exhibition and an essay written by several devoted-to-art writers.

Floyd enjoys the ability to work with interesting people since painting can sometimes be a solitary activity. She said not having to run a gallery and focusing only on exhibiting works of art enables her to concentrate

on doing just one good piece.Floyd sees Zeuxis as a growing

force and looks forward to increasing the crowds attending its exhibitions, developing an admiration for modernist painting among its audience and having more writers commenting on the organization’s exhibitions.

According to Caroline Kahler, chair of the Department of Art, students should attend to help them see the world in a new way.

Seeing other artists’ work makes students more thoughtful and better informed as people and artists.

“You can never see enough art, just like you can always marvel at another sunset,” Kahler said.

By expanding their visual vocabulary, students can be constant learners by listening to each artist speak about their work and asking them questions.

“This is what I want for my students to be

inquisitive, articulate and engaged,” Kahler said.

There will be an opening reception from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. May 4.

Artists Megan Williamson, Ruth

Miller and Temma Bell will speak to the audience about their work.

The Crisp Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 1 p.m.- 4 p.m. on weekends.

PERFORMTRIO will perform classical pieces

GABRIEL FAURÉ’S CLASSICAL PIECE WILL BE ONE OF THE PIECES PLAYED AT THE BEDELL PERFORMANCE HALL ON MAY 1

Whitney LawArrow Reporter

Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem is a composition that is known for its beauty and has been described as a lullaby. Southeast Mis-souri State University’s Choir, Choral Union and orchestra will come together to perform this work as well as an original piece and other classical pieces.

The concert will open with the orchestra performing “Finlandia” by Jean Sibelius, followed by “Concerto No. 5 in A Minor” by Henri Vieuxtemps, which will feature 16-year-old violinist Amy Lidell. Lidell is a member of the Indiana University String Academy Virtuosi, which is a group of violinists between ages 11-18 who study an intense musical curriculum and tour the world performing. Lidell was also the winner of the Second Annual “Rising Star” Competition held at Southeast in February.

The University Choir and the Choral Union will join the orchestra to perform two more compositions. They will perform “Trust,” composed by Southeast’s director of Choral

activities Dr. Peter Durow, and fi nish with Fauré’s Requiem.

“It’s a piece that I wrote almost 10 years ago, and it’s never really been performed,” Durow said. “I orchestrated it for the whole symphony to play, and so it’s going to be a world premiere.”

The performance will feature two vocal soloists, Southeast faculty members Timothy Schmidt and Lori Shaffer. It will be conducted by Dr. Sara Edgerton, artistic director of the Southeast Missouri Symphony Orchestra and Dr. Peter Durow,

who will conduct the choirs. The University Choir is made up

of approximately 30 students who have been working on the music for the concert since they fi nished their own concert on March 29. The Choral Union is made up of about 60 community members and 20 students that receive college credit for being a member.

Sophomore vocal performance major Kaitlyn Robinson is a member of both choirs and said the requiem was a challenging piece that was simple enough for the University Choir to learn

in a short amount of time, yet still challenging enough for the Choral Union to be excited by it.

“It’s defi nitely been a little more challenging than some of the other requiems we’ve done. We tend to do requiem mass at the end of the year,” Robinson said. “It has a lot of clashing notes and dissonance, which makes it more diffi cult.”

Durow described the requiem as a lullaby requiem that is beautiful, gentle and lyrical. The Choral Union only performs once a semester, so Durow said that this is a great opportunity for students

and community members to see a great choral orchestral work.

“They should come see this performance because it’s beautiful music,” Durow said. “They should come support the community members who made a big sacrifi ce. They’re really dedicated.”

Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem will be performed at 7:30 p.m. May 1 at the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall. Tickets cost $18 or $14 depending on the seat’s location and can be purchased at the River Campus box offi ce or online at rivercampusevents.com.

Travis WibbenmeyerNew editor for 2012-2013

I was not sure what I was getting into when I began writing for the Arrow during my fi rst semester at Southeast Missouri State Uni-versity in August 2009. I chose to major in journalism during my senior year of high school because it seemed like a good idea. I have loved sports ever since I can remember, so it made sense to become a sportswriter and watch games for the rest of my life.

I did not know that I would enjoy the management side so much.

The sports editor position that I have held since last year’s spring semester fell into my lap. That was when the Arrow was disorganized and looked straight out of the 1920s, so I was reluctant to take on the responsibility, especially on short notice. But I fi gured that it would be a good idea to show ambition and hope for the best.

The “best” happened when Rust Communications decided to create a hybrid academic/corporate publication. The Arrow is still student run with student-generated content,

but is now printed in full color with a new emphasis on digital and social media. This much you already know.

What you probably haven’t seen is the behind-the-scenes work and development of all the editors’ and writers’ skills. The editors have learned a lot from content adviser Rachel Crader of the Southeast Missourian, who has helped to make the writers better. The partnership has made it fun and a privilege work at the Arrow, which is something that was missing before.

Things have worked out well from a personal standpoint, but I still have plenty of work to do. I will be the new editor-in-chief of the Arrow beginning May 2. This time, personal ambition was only a small reason I wanted to take on a larger role. The best part of working for the Arrow has been working with the wonderful people on our team.

The writers and editors have worked hard all year and displayed a great commitment to the Arrow. It will be my duty as editor to ensure that continues so that our content will continue to be high-quality. I think that our product has been outstanding and I take a lot of pride in that, but it took a team to achieve that. A lot of good people with great attitudes work for the Arrow and that will make my job easier and more enjoyable.

During my time as editor, you can expect an increase in our

usage of social media to better connect with you, the reader. We want to hear what you think of the content we put out and your opinion about issues around campus. That kind of feedback will help us to understand what kind of news is important to cover. We don’t know what you want until you tell us. We can’t guarantee that we will act on your feedback, but we will listen.

And a little more about me:I’m 21 and from Perryville,

Mo., which some of you may know as “That place I stopped at to get gas on the way to St.

Kristina BenedictArrow Reporter

Â The Southeast Missouri State University chapter of Phi Beta Lambda competed at the 53rd Annual Missouri Phi Beta Lambda State Leader-ship Conference on March 23. Southeast’s chapter placed third in total awards with 24.

Fourteen students are eligible to advance to the national conference in June. Phi Beta Lambda was chartered in 1958 as the collegiate version of Future Business Leaders of America at the high school level, which was chartered in 1937. Any student that is interested in business is invited to join Phi Beta Lambda.

International business major Daniel Levesque is vice president of Southeast’s Phi Beta Lambda chapter. He said that anyone can join, but

members have to stay active.“We have a strict attendance

policy,” Levesque said. “We also do a lot of community service projects, so it’s very important that members remain active.”

Dr. Dana Schwieger in the department of Accounting and Information Systems has been the co-adviser of Phi Beta Lambda for two years.

She said the club is the largest it has been in a long time with 31 members.

Twenty-two students participated in the conference this year and competed against 18 other two- and four-year colleges and universities in Missouri. The unusually high number of competitors from Southeast helped the chapter win third place in total awards at the state conference.

Levesque won first place in financial services and third

place in financial concepts. He said this year there

was a high number of students advancing to the national conference.

“We’ve experienced a lot of growth in the chapter this year,” Levesque said. “We usually have around five to eight people competing most years.”

The 14 students able to advance to the national conference are Megan Stackle, Josh James, Katie Stephens, Devin Melton, Chris Dzurick, Stephanie Bechard, Erika Geisler, Kara Gilbert, Rachel Reischman, Amber Joiner, Wade Kraenzle, Justin Bader and Jade Wayne and Levesque. Of these students, only 11 will be attending the conference.

“There is a high cost that goes into the conference,” Levesque said. “There is the cost of travel and the hotel. You also have to miss a full week,

Fourteen Phi Beta lambda members qualify for national conference

so some students can’t afford it or can’t take off work.”

The conferences consist of leadership seminars and workshops as well as competitions. Speakers give presentations about their success in entrepreneurship.

Levesque said there is also a two-day event before the conference that includes leadership training, management skills, networking with business professionals and more.

During the competitions, students are given case studies that simulate real-life scenarios. They are given different problems and must solve those problems in their specific field, such as accounting, economics, business management and finance. Levesque had to score within the top five on a written test before he could advance to the case study portion of the competition.

“They give you 15 minutes to prepare a 10-minute speech,” Levesque said. “You have to explain why you solved the problem the way you did [and] the pros and cons of your decisions. Then there is a three-minute question-and-answer session with the judges about your presentation.”

Levesque said the national conference will have similar competitions to those at the state conference. Students can win scholarships from placing in the competitions, but the national conference will require a lot of preparation.

“You are competing against a higher level,” Levesque said. “You are competing against the top students in the nation. You really have to work hard.”

The Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference will be held June 24-27 in San Antonio.

Parmley’s 47-game hitting streak an ovC record

Spencer MichelsonArrow Staff Writer

ÂSoutheast Missouri State Univer-sity baseball player Kenton Parmley’s 47-game hitting streak ended on Sunday in a 3-1 win against Tennessee Tech.

The streak tied the third longest in NCAA Division I history and is an Ohio Valley Conference record. The longest previous OVC streak was 42 games, which Parmley broke in a 9-4 victory against Morehead State on April 14.

“I mean, basically, confidence is what has helped me through everything,” Parmley said. “I’m going up to the plate just confident I can get a hit.

“I mean, I’ve got the experience down. I just have to play confident through every at-bat and just envision myself getting a hit, and I think that’s what has helped me succeed this year.”

Parmley’s hitting streak is one part of a strong year at the plate. He has a .410 batting average, 7 home runs, 29 RBIs and a .476 on-base percentage. He said that his success is due to his experience from three years as a starter.

“The experience part has taught me that last year I pressed a lot, and this year I’m not pressing,” Parmley said. “I’m just out there having fun, going through the motions and, I mean, just enjoying

the game of baseball while I can.”Southeast coach Mark Hogan

said he is glad to have been able to watch Parmley’s hitting streak.

“All of it is wonderful,” Hogan said. “He’s worked very hard and for him to do what he’s doing is amazing.”

Although Parmley is having a good year personally, the team is tied for eighth place in the OVC. The top six teams make the OVC Tournament. Southeast is 5-10 in the OVC with 12 conference games left.

“So far, the biggest struggle has been having a losing season,” Parmley said. “I mean, this is the most I ever lost. I’ve never had a losing season in my career, and

I’ve never been on a losing team.” Hogan said he has seen

Parmley develop into a good leader from his freshman year to his senior year.

“He has been a four-year starter and has done a heck of a job,” Hogan said. “He will go down as one of the all-time players, and his hit streak will be part of his resumé.”

Parmley hopes the team can make it to the conference tournament.

“I just hope we pick up a few key wins on the weekend, a couple sweeps, and that will help us get in the conference tournament and hopefully make some noise in it,” Parmley said.
