Daryah Ireland, a sophomore studying business management, 19, making cotton candy in the Lentz dining hall while dressed as a clown for their carnival-themed night, Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018. “I think this benefits the students because it gives them the feeling of being at home.” Ireland said. “Cotton candy is like fun and there’s fun stuff to do. It’s always good to switch up the type of food and the style that we have from the, like, everyday.” (Allie Tiller | @allietiller_de)

Seth Moorman, a carbondale K-9 patrol officer, 27, of Carterville stands on the grass field behind the Carbondale police station with his canine, Pasja, as he talks about the training he took to be a K-9 officer, Friday, Oct. 12, 2018. Moorman said that he spent his first six weeks with Pasja training in Indianapolis, coming back to Carbondale in August 2017. “If an officer does a traffic stop and wants to walk the dog around the car and the dog can sniff for illegal narcotics, she can do that. If there is also any type of crime like a robbery or a burglary or something like that that’s just happened recently, depending on the information we have, we might be able to deploy her and track a suspect,” Moorman said. “We can also use her to clear buildings.” (Allie Tiller | @allietiller_de)

SIU students grab candy from a pile to put in pinatas they made at the Student Center Craft Shop during day two of the pinata event for Hispanic Latino Heritage Month, Friday, Oct. 5, 2018. “You fill [the pinata] with good stuff because that’s things that you want in life,” Celeste Orozco, a junior studying forestry, said. “It is normally hung because it is supposed to be up in the sky, like the heavens, so you’re looking up and it’s about faith, Orozco said. So, just keep going and eventually when you break through all the barriers, good things will come of it and that is the candy part of it.” (Allie Tiller | @allietiller_de)

Daniel Bennett, a graduate student studying theater technical direction, 28, of Greensberg, Ky. picks up a skull prop built for the upcoming play Pippin, Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2018. Our version of Pippin is a post-apocalyptic take on this older musical. Bennett said. We’re taking elements from that sort-of dystopian future and making it useful for our story and our telling of it. The crew is using found and recycled materials taken from the recycling center to develop their props and set. (Allie Tiller | @allietiller_de)

Daniel Overturf, a professor in the department of cinema and photography, shows his CP 431 class examples of 4x5 large format photographs taken with a view camera, Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018. Overturf said one of the reasons they teach photography students how to produce photographs with a view camera is because it goes back to the traditions that photography is built off of today.
