Pulliam Hall, seen Thursday, was built in 1954 and serves as a longtime marker for SIU pride and identity. The brick structure is easily recognized because of its familiar clock tower.
Advice from an alumna: Embrace SIU like the magical place it is So let me give you a little advice.

W
and economic classes that you’ve never been exposed to before. Many people will have ideas and backgrounds that are foreign to yours. I’m from Simpson, a tiny Southern Illinois town of 61. My first roommate was from Chicago, population 2.7 million. I grew up awkward and innocent on a gravel road where the cows and pigs outnumbered people. She was a social fireball who talked a mile-a-minute and had a pet iguana. We became the fastest of unlikely friends. Trust me: Stay up as late as necessary with
these people hashing it all out, from war to the opposite sex. Those were the things that weighed heavy on me at 19. I had just been hired at the student newspaper, the Daily Egyptian, and just entered my sophomore year when the Twin Towers fell. As we watched the old press clunk out the paper that night, letting it all finally sink in as we gathered around the loading dock, I knew I wanted to be a reporter. It won’t be the same for you, but there will be defining moments of both your own and the world’s making. I know from experience that often the greatest revelations about life will come to you in the uninhibited, wee morning hours, but trust me on this one, too: always sleep on it. Keep an open mind and heart. This is your opportunity to make friends that push you from your comfort zone, challenge your view of the world and enrich your spirit. All of these people will shape your life, and a few will change it. Years later, these are the people you will not only track on Facebook, but that you will visit in exotic places, stand next to at the altar as they marry, cheer on through babies and promotions, and drive across the country for in times of tragedy and loss. They will do the same for you. You will be faced with the choice to party or study. Make time for both. Despite popular belief, you don’t write a 10-page Italian history paper better on deadline at 3 a.m. after a night out at Pinch Penny Pub. Don’t procrastinate – but procrastinate at least once so you know how it feels when your computer crashes as you hit the print button 15 minutes to the start of class.
Go somewhere for Spring Break. Even if you’ve decided on a career, take classes that teach you something that may not seem relevant until decades later. Learn a foreign language. Pay attention in math class even if you hate numbers. Learn to write a paper even if you hate words. The business world you will enter upon graduation does not teach to the test, so don’t focus so much on learning facts as on learning how to learn. Volunteer or work. I recommend that every student work one semester at the front counter of the SIU Parking Division. If you can survive that, you can survive any job in the world. And that reminds me, pay your parking tickets (they are a rite of passage) before they expand into a $200 bill that is mailed to your parent’s home, the Richard Sitler photos, The Southern address where your car Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest is a popular spot for hiking and relaxing. is likely registered.

Jackson County Mass Transit
The Saluki Express helps students get across campus and around Carbondale. Several buses run the route every day, taking riders to places like Wal-Mart and other businesses in town.

Rides should be requested at least 24 hours in advance. People can book same-day rides only

Quick: Say yes ALEE QUICK THE SOUTHERN
Living on your own the first time is terrifying. Well, it’s terrifying the second and third times, too. Every time you unload a truck full of stuff in a new Quick apartment and watch whoever helped you drive away, there’s a sinking feeling. You go back inside, turn on some music, start to unpack boxes and arrange things. Something to keep your hands busy. Something to fill the silent air. Living on your own
isn’t just about the space where you lie your head. It’s about exploring a new culture, meeting new people. It’s about figuring out what to do with yourself now that you have the freedom to come and go as you please. So after you’ve unpacked, and you’ve learned your way around campus, get to the good stuff. Say yes to everything — well, almost everything. Say yes to your first chicken-fried steak in the campus cafeteria. Say yes when the silly man at the dive bar asks you to dance. Say no if he’s a terrible dancer and asks for a second song. Say yes to watching all the movies and TV shows that were strictly forbidden by your
want to ditch and grab a cup of coffee. Say yes, you must wash my sheets — right now — when your roommate mentions she let a strange man sleep in your bed while you were out of town. Say no when the guys you met at a dance club invite you to take a ride with them to a nearby beach town the day before finals, and none of your friends want to go with you. Say no when you just know you should say no. Say no when you know it’s The Southern File Photo time to walk away. But mostly, say yes. The Carbondale Farmer’s Market is a popular tradition, bringing together all sorts of local vendors selling everything from vegetables to bison.

Shawnee National Forest Shawnee National Forest at a glance: The largest continuous stretch of wooded land in Illinois, the Shawnee National Forest extends from the Ohio to the Mississippi rivers, covering hundreds of thousands of acres. The Shawnee was designated in 1933 as the Illini and Shawnee Purchase Units. It was proclaimed the Shawnee National Forest by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. Most of the forest consists of land obtained in the 1930s that was over-farmed, and land on which people could no longer make a living. In the 1930s and ‘40s, the Civilian Conservation Corps planted much of this land with pine trees to prevent erosion and restore the soil. The forest contains portions of six rivers and creeks: Bay Creek, Big Creek, Big Grand Pierre Creek, Big Muddy River, Hutchins Creek and Lusk Creek. The forest protects federally-listed threatened and endangered species, many listed as regionally sensitive, and more than 100 forest-listed species of plants and animals. The Cave Valley/Cedar Creek area is a non-game bird management area, including the endangered Swainson’s Warbler. The forest has nearly 100 natural areas. Among its designated wilderness areas are Bald Knob, Bay Creek/ Burden Falls, Clear Springs, Garden of the Gods, Little Black Slough, Lusk Creek and Panther Den. Ripple Hollow is conditionally recommended for wilderness study. The forest has a system of about 350 miles of equestrian/hiking trails, approximately 500 campsites at designated campgrounds, and dozens of designated picnic areas. Recreation

Salukis will be strong up front this year TODD HEFFERMAN THE SOUTHERN
CARBONDALE — The strength of the Southern Illinois University football team could fit nicely with its no-name theme this year. The Salukis lost four major seniors from this past season’s 6-6 club, one which was drafted and another that signed with the Green Bay Packers as a free agent. Three-time All-American tight end MyCole Pruitt, running back Malcolm Agnew, linebacker Tyler Williamson and kicker Thomas Kinney were exactly what this year’s Saluki squad does not have: big names. Pruitt was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. Agnew rushed for 10 touchdowns in eight games before a season-ending ankle injury. Williamson left SIU as the school’s career forced fumbles leader, and Kinney was a preseason All-American in 2014
and made 10 field goals. SIU returns two starters on the offensive line, longtime guard Jake Notario and fifth-year senior tackle Ethan Wirth, and two starters on the defensive front in coach Dale Lennon’s 3-4 system. Senior nose tackle Raysean Golden started 10 of 12 games but shared a lot of time with fellow senior T.J. Beelen in the middle of the D-line. Senior defensive end Adam Brandt had 26 tackles and four sacks this past season, and with Du Quoin native Brandon Williams, could give the Salukis a hefty front three. The no-names on the offensive and defensive lines could pave the way for the new names in the skill positions. The Salukis only true returning skill player on offense, quarterback Mark Iannotti, will get some competition this fall from redshirt freshman Sam Straub
and transfer Matt McIntosh from Northern Illinois. SIU lost its leading rusher (Agnew), leading receiver (Pruitt), and leading returner (Tay Willis). Iannotti completed 201 of 319 passes for 22 touchdowns, eight interceptions and 2,241 yards in his first season as a collegiate starter. The 6-foot-2, 227-pound senior won the starting job after a solid spring, according to Lennon, but could be pressed by Straub and McIntosh. McIntosh, the younger brother of former Saluki starting quarterback Paul McIntosh, played in 10 games for Northern Illinois this past season. The 6-1, 213-pound senior threw only 23 passes for the 11-3 Huskies, completing 14 of them, and rushed for 44 yards on eight carries. Northern Illinois lost 52-23 to Marshall in the Boca Raton (Florida) Bowl to end their season.
SIU will have to replace 14 starters against another challenging schedule in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, which became the first league in Football Championship Subdivision history to have both teams in the national title game. Topranked North Dakota State won its fourth straight national title with a come-from-behind win over Illinois State in the final two minutes and will likely begin the year No. 1 again. SIU will play three of its first four games away from Saluki Stadium, beginning with the opener at Indiana and a road game (although only about 45 minutes) at Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 12. The Salukis then host Liberty, a potential top 25 team, before opening league play at Western Illinois. The Salukis haven’t reached the postseason since 2009.
