Semester in Photos Fall 2011

Baptism by ! re. " at’s de! nitely how it felt when we took over double duty as photo editors. At times it was stressful and we couldn’t wait to get away. Other times it seemed like nothing else in the world mattered but the DE. If you came in on any given day you would think all seven of us moved in: shoes strewn across the # oor, stained co$ ee mugs scattered about and crusty food containers used as paperweights. And

of course there was the camera gear. It’s the details like these that we

focus on as photographers. If we weren’t doing our job, witnessing the moments, we would definitely have missed all the laughs we shared together when things got a bit squirrelly. Photojournalist Phil Greer says photojournalism is a lifestyle, always having your camera or eyes scanning for that interesting person. Though this is a style we learn to cultivate, it’s definitely not a life without the people you surround yourself with. And the staff this semester was one hell of a group.

We started o$ the semester in little

groups of our own, but once we all came together, we learned what kind of journalist each person was. Genna showed her passion for nature by the animal features she brought in each week; Isaac could tell an entire story with one photo; Nathan, whose enthusiasm is infectious; Pat, who was clutch and made the important news images; and Sarah, who proved there is a blurred line between ! ne art photography and photojournalism.

" anks for the hard work this semester, you Dirty J’s, and always remember to rack the focus!

This semester has been one long exposureA lot of people think being a

student worker means you are a student ! rst and then an employee, but that's not always the case. Student worker literally means you are a student of the job. Especially in a place of higher education, a job on campus is another avenue for learning. My time as Photo Editor taught me that. I have learned many things throughout the course of these last few months. I’ve learned how to better manage my

time, a skill required for any job. I’ve learned how to listen to others before considering my own interests. Above all, I learned humility.

Sometimes, being a leader isn’t about managing a sta$ or guaranteeing photos get in the paper. Being a leader is about creating the greatest opportunities for your sta$ , even if that means stepping aside to allow someone more quali! ed than you to take your place. I’m proud of the work Steve and Lynnette have done in my stead, and I look forward to working with them in the upcoming semester.

The unions set a strike date for Nov. 3 in order to quicken the bargaining process. By early morning Nov. 3, all had reached tentative agreements but the Faculty Association.

The FA, representing tenured and tenure-track faculty, went on on strike for seven days in the university's first faculty strike. The following are images from that week.

Occupy Chicago protesters march Oct. 29 chanting slogans such as “We are the 99 percent” and “This is what democracy looks like.” The protesters marched from the Financial District to Grant Park, where they held their general assembly. According to

a group representative, members had met with city officials to discuss dropping the charges on those arrested and to find a place where they would be allowed to set up a more permanent camp. Both requests were denied.

LYNNETTE OOSTMEYER | DAILY EGYPTIAN Madeline Pisani, of St. Louis, carries a St. Ioasaph (Joseph) of Belgorod portrait during the 100th anniversary of the saint's glorification celebration Sept. 17 at St. Ioasaph's Russian Orthodox Church in Muddy. Pisani said her family donated the land the church was built on 98 years ago and paid for by Tsar Nicholas II. She said her family continues to care for it now. The church is the

only one dedicated to St. Ioasaph in the United States, though anniversary celebrations took place throughout the world. Religious leaders from around the tri-state area, including His Grace and Bishop Peter (Loukianoff) of Chicago, attended the service. Visitors also included Anton Golovin and Violetta Yufereva, who drove 14 hours from Palm Coast, Fla., to attend the celebration.

Kaleb Brown, of Macedonia, moves deer into a cooler Nov. 18 at TALK Deer Processing in Goreville. Shotgun season for deer hunting in Illinois began Nov. 18. TALK Deer Processing owner Timothy Klein said he anticipated a slower-than-usual turnout but still expected several hundred deer by the end of the first season. TALK Deer accepts deer from hunters and processes the meat into various cuts, including sausage. Klein said

it is a trade he grew up with. "Both my sets of grandparents were from Germany," he said. "I used to sit and watch them. They would take and grind out into a great big old wash tub all of their sausage and stuff, and they would sit there and taste it raw. They did everything by taste." Klein said he structured his business around maintaining his grandparents' dedication to quality. "It was something that was instilled in me as a kid," he said.

Austin Shults, 9, of Golconda, plays behind a deer that was killed by a family friend Nov. 19 outside of Golconda. Along with his family friend, Shults began hunting early with his grandma, Linda

Shults, of Mackinaw. She said Austin has been hunting with his family since he was 5 years old and had his permit well before he could hold a shotgun. “He’s my little hunter,” Shults said.

PortraitsLeft: Starting in November, Mayor Joel Fritzler began the “Shave It or Save It” campaign, asking people for $1 donation and a vote for him to either keep or shave his mustache. The money goes toward the Carbondale Scholarship, awarded to two Carbondale High School students who plan on attending SIU. Fritzler said he has had a mustache off and on since the late 1970s, but would not be upset if he had to shave it. He said he has recently grown tired of it.

Bottom left: Karlie Eddleman, 11, of Dongola, watches over her Hampshire show pigs Aug. 23 at the Union County State Fair in Anna. Eddleman said she has been showing pigs in southern Illinois for two years and raises them on her family’s farm. They train the pigs, which she said could weigh more than 250 pounds, to behave in the show ring by offering them marshmallows after they exit. “It takes a lot of work to do what we do,” Eddleman said. “But I’ve been very lucky with the pigs that I’ve raised. They are all very special.”

Bottom right: Dakota Needham, 10, plays during recess Sept. 30 at Carterville Intermediate School in Carterville. Andrea Needham, Dakota’s mother, said he was born with a cleft lip and palate and has undergone three surgeries since then. She said his medical problems have left him with a speech impediment. Andrea Needham said other than not reading aloud in class, his impediment has not caused him any real social problems. Though he said he does get bullied from time to time, Dakota said he does not let it get him down.

According to the company’s website, CrossFit So ILL provides a high-intensity workout focused on building strength and endurance. “It’s about blending your strength training with your cardio in short, intense workouts,” said trainer Emma Moburg-Jones. “It provides the best results, hands down.” To cater to the idea of total body conditioning in one workout, the training methods differ each day, she said. “It changed my life. I dropped 25 pounds in four months and gained strength in all my muscle groups,” said Simpkins, who trains there five to six days a week. – Lynnette Oostmeyer | Daily Egyptian
