Cristina Enea, a junior from Elk Grove studying speech communication, spins during the Southern Illinois Dance Company’s last show of the semester May 1 at Furr Auditorium. The show consisted of 15 dances including one by the company’s artistic director Donna Wilson. Furr

Auditorium is home to SIDC and is in need of several expensive renovations. “We spend four to five nights in there a week,” said Sarah Fader, the company’s public relations chair. “The seats fall out on you, the paint is peeling off — it needs help.”

Firefighters move along the walls of a simulated mine shaft during a fire safety exercise April 13 at Southeastern Illinois College. The exercise requires them to navigate without sight, using their hands to

feel for objects — the same technique they would use to find people in an actual mining disaster. SEIC is one of only two facilities in the nation to provide this type of simulated mine safety exercise.

I t’s cliché, but this semester, has been a truly rewarding

experience. � e photo sta� has improved incredibly, leaving us with one nice Semester in Photos edition.

And we’ve been through a lot as a group — the photo love is strong.

Isaac, I can decrease my phone minutes now that I’m not your

editor. Genna, let’s have more road trips that involve naps in the car. Evan, thanks for coming back. You rocked video. Dan, you can call me Sugar F. Baby. Steve, thanks for pinch-hitting. Pat, stay out of the ceiling. Edyta, it’s because of you that I survived, and Jess, good luck!!

— Julia Rendleman

EDITOR’S STATEMENT:

I don’t know when I have ever endured so much stress

in my life like I have in this past semester. I actually developed bags under my eyes, but it was all for the love of this newspaper.

Julia and I have watched the relatively new sta� go through the highs and lows of developing their photojournalistic skills this whole

semester. I would like to believe that we helped these kiddos get at least a bit of a sense of what real life is like in the world of media.

We were hardasses and I hope they appreciated all the time we dedicated to making them better. I loved all the laughs and tears we’re shared.

— Edyta Błaszczyk

(Top) Matt Swift, a senior from Joliet studying administration of justice, rap jumps off Devil’s Diving Board Feb. 22 at Giant City State Park. Rap jumping involves jumping off a cliff while using a repelling rope to catch yourself before you hit the bottom. “It’s a huge rush,” Swift said. “When you’re jumping off, everything just slows down and you get a real look at things.” According to rapjumping.com, rap jumping started in Australia in the late 1960s as a form of rope work for the Australian army. It was commercialized and made public around 1989.

The group posted fliers and posters as part of a class project on social issues. The students were to choose a social issue that they felt strongly about, discover what mainstream media has done to inform the public about it and find a way to use alternative media to further inform the public about what the mainstream media has left out, Weinhold said. SIUC maintenance staff removed more than 90 percent of the posters the same day. “Someone denied everyone an opportunity to learn about human rights when they tore those posters down,” Weinhold said.

HoroscopesBy Nancy Black and Stephanie Clement

Daily EgyptianStudy BreakWednesday, May 12, 2010 13

Today's birthday — This year, the foundation of your efforts includes creative inspiration and thoughtful execution. Perseverance overcomes obstacles that stop others cold. Skillful methods include knowing how hard to push to get your way and when to acquiesce.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Sprinkle your abundant passion through your work and relationships. You may want to do everything at once, but a methodical effort gets better results.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 9 -- The balance of power has shifted to a distant location, causing agitation. Plan for more phone calls to work it out.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- The person who handles finances causes agitation among the team. Your mission is to get the facts and communicate them with enthusiasm.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- A favorite associate comes under fire. To relieve stress, offer help with both muscle and money. You're not doing it to be repaid, but you will be.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Don't let a bossy co-worker spoil your day. Get your own work done, and redirect any gossip that comes your way to someone who can do something about it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Handle all communications as if they were private. Secrets need to be protected. Also, what you hear today could change dramatically by tomorrow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Don't let anyone draw you away from a principle you consider essential. They can argue all they want, but you have the final decision.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- In starting the active phase of your project, there's lot of static from a powerful person who wants to be in charge. The more you push, the less gets done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Imagine yourself infinitely powerful and ruler of the world. A little too much stress? Instead, act as a cheerleader for everyone in the group and share the glory.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- The normal flow of resources may be interrupted, causing a brief moment of panic. Upon further consideration, you realize that you can get by with what's on hand.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- Anticipate the stress associated with unavoidable obstacles. Sidestep to make forward progress. Your partner is enthusiastic about the suggestion.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 5 -- If you're in charge of the group, use your own stress level as a barometer of group energy. Choose practical ways to get the job done.
