shotofawareness Number of alcohol arrests peaks by Holly Meyer Alestle Managing Editor

SIUE Police made 46 more arrests for alcohol violations in 2006 than they did in 2005, according to the annual security report that came out Oct. 1. In fact, the number of alcohol-related arrests was higher in 2006 than it had been in the past 13 years. The lowest number of arrests happened in 2000, with police only arresting 12 people in violation of the alcohol laws. The previous high happened in 2002 with 96 alcohol-related arrests. Since 1993, the number of alcohol arrests has been all over the board. SIUE Police Lt. Kevin Schmoll said he could not explain the sporadic increase and decrease in arrests since 1993. The university is required to publish timely information on the campus crime statistics and the security policies under the Jeanne Cleary Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Under this act, an alcohol offense includes illegal transportation, possession and consumption of alcohol and the sale of liquor to a minor. Though more arrests were made in 2006 than in 2005, Schmoll said the police have not changed the way they operate. “We’re about the same as the years before,” Schmoll said. Schmoll said the police have not increased patrols on campus. However, they are instructed to patrol the residence areas after classes are out because diat is where the majority of the people are. Since they are already in the residence areas, the police can Steve Berry/Alestle spot parties and respond quickly even before complaints are Junior Mike Maschhoff helps pharmacy student Sara Robinson through “A Fatal Spin on the Classic Obstacle Course,” in which participants wore made. goggles to simulate intoxication.

For an untold number of students, faculty and other members of the SIUE community, a single event dominated the out-of-class experience. For those people, some of the fondest memories are linked to a 62-foot-tall, 140-foot-wide white tent. It was a gathering point, a concert venue, an experience, an icon; it was the Mississippi River Festival. The MRF was one of a kind. For six weeks, every summer from 1968 to 1980, musicians would play in the MRF tent before crowds sometimes numbering in the thousands, who would flock to SIUE in droves. The players were varied and legendary. Folk acts included Judy Collins, Joan Boaz and Arlo Guthrie. From the world of blues came B.B. King and Muddy Waters. Jazz artists included Ella Fitzgerald, Chuck Mangione and George Benson. Comedians Richard Pryor and Bob courtesy Steve Kerber 325 productions throughout the festival’s history. Hope took the stage.

Daniel completed 12 o f his first 14 passes, and the Tigers converted their first five third-down attempts. He finished the half 20 of 32 for 222 yards and a touchdown. He opened the third quarter completing seven of his first seven passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. In the third quarter, Daniel found receiver Danario Alexander in stride for a 48-yard touchdown pass to put the Tigers up 34-6. Alexander was playing his first game since suffering a broken hand against Illinois in the season opener. Alexander made the leaping catch with a cast on his left hand. Much o f Nebraska’s problem early was that it went to a pass- heavy offense despite the fact that the Missouri defense had been criticized all season for its inability to stop the run, and the Huskers had the Big 12 rushing leader in Marlon Lucky. However, Lucky was limited to 33 yards on seven carries in the first half and Nebraska managed just 161 yards of total offense in the first half. Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller threw for 223 yards but continued his streak of interceptions as Pig Brown grabbed an errant throw in the second half. Keller has thrown at least one interception in every game this season. By the time the Huskers started to use Lucky as a rushing threat, they were down four touchdowns and the Tigers were still going full bore on offense. Just to add insult to injury, Missouri faked a field goal with 12:52 remaining in the fourth quarter. Holder Tommy Saunders tossed the ball to Rucker, who shuffled 10 yards for Missouri’s final score.
