COMMITTEECONTINUED FROM 1

ENROLLMENTCONTINUED FROM 1 T here was a concerted effort to recruit students,

use scholarship dollars, and the faculty, staff and dean all worked together over a number of years to turn those numbers around.

— Chancellor Rita Cheng

Saluki Shakers co-captain Megan Campbell, a junior from Wayne City studying health care management, runs through a new routine Tuesday for their next performance. They will perform at halftime of the men’s basketball game Saturday against the University of Evansville at home. The Shakers are holding a dance clinic for pre-k through fourth-grade girls Sunday at the Recreation Center.

Aries — Today is an 8 — Allow ideas to gel, for now. Get into research, where it’s all starting to make sense. Pull together facts and data, and sort through them to discover treasure.

Taurus — Today is an 8 — You have plenty of profitable ideas, and some are ripe for the picking. Confer with dreamers for inspiration, and let the wind dictate your direction.

Gemini — Today is an 8 — The Moon’s in your sign, and you’re riding high. A unique character enters the picture. Accept an assignment for the money, and find hidden interest.

Cancer — Today is a 7 — Thinking and planning fits your mood. Slow down and contemplate. Fine-tune your domestic environment. Clarify your direction, and get ready to play catch up.

Leo — Today is an 8 — Balance responsibility with a bit of crazy. Don’t take friends for granted. They’re really there for you. It’s a two-way street ... do something fun together.

Virgo — Today is an 8 — Wake up to a beautiful day full of options. Climb mountains, cross rivers, stop and smell the roses. Watch where you place your feet. The view’s incredible.

Libra — Today is a 6 — Business interferes with fun. Don’t goof off! You’d much rather play. Plan a vacation or trip, even as you manage your responsibilities. Being productive pays.

Scorpio — Today is a 7 — With the right company, you can face obstacles that you normally might shy away from. Things don’t seem like such a big deal. Balance action and patience.

Sagittarius — Today is a 9 — Insights battle for your attention. Intuition guides your pen, and emotion fuels your efforts. Imagine that you have it all. What would that look like?

Capricorn — Today is a 7 — “Do what you love and the money will follow” really rings true now. But really, don’t worry about the money ... it comes. Enjoy the little pleasures.

Aquarius — Today is a 7 — You are surrounded by love, but you may not be in the mood to run around. Find the inspiration you need to tackle a creative project.

Pisces — Today is a 6 — It’s best to stay close to home for the next couple of days. Don’t rush any decisions now that you may regret later. Stand your ground, and take it easy.

Level: 1 2 3 4

Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, assuggested by the above cartoon.

Unscramble these four Jumbles,one letter to each square,to form four ordinary words.

Head coach Rick Walker watches the women’s 200-yard breaststroke event during the men and women’s swim meet against Western Kentucky University Saturday in the Edward J. Shea Natatorium. Walker has been a coach at SIUC for 25 years.

Junior tennis player Jordan Snyder, left, and sophomore tennis player Rafael Cuadrillero warm up for practice Tuesday at Sports Blast. The team hosts students from seven different countries and two different states. There are no players originally from Illinois. SIU men’s tennis coach Dann Nelson said many of the top players in Illinois end up going to Big Ten schools and do not normally commit to SIU. “In order for us to compete in our league, we need to broaden our recruiting scope, and so we do that nationally and internationally,” Nelson said.
