House to vote !"#$%&'()$*#)&+")&(&',)'"%# on same-sex marriage bill KAYLI PLOTNER Daily Egyptian Illinois could soon be the 10th state to legalize same-sex marriage. The Illinois Senate approved the bill Feb. 14 in a 34-21 vote, and Gov. Pat Quinn has told various news outlets that he will sign it into law if the House approves the bill, which could happen within the week. Steve Macias, associate professor of law, said the state Senate’s willingness to pass the bill helps the process. “The Senate passed the bill somewhat symbolically last week for Valentines Day,” he said. “More recently, we’ve seen states passing this on their own without their hand being forced by their Supreme Court. In that sense, it’s good that it’s a more democratic process bringing about same-sex marriage.” States such as Massachusetts and California were among the
first to pass same-sex marriage. However, the decision came through state courts that deemed a denial unconstitutional. Macias said the Illinois Supreme Court is now hearing cases based on those grounds. “As I understand it, they do have lawsuits pending in state court that the denial of same sex marriage does violate the Illinois constitution,” he said. “That’s sort of, I think, a backup plan. There are court cases pending. I think it will not be necessary to pursue those cases once this bill passes.” While the law would allow churches to marry same-sex couples, article 209 section a-1 of the bill states the act cannot be used to force any denomination’s religious entities to perform a marriage ceremony. Macias said the clause is unnecessary from a constitutional perspective and is included simply to show that bill proponents are not interested in infringing upon religious freedom.

Charlie Dorsey, a founder of Transpoetic Playground and graduate student in speech communication, performs poetry Monday during Transcending Transgressions, a spoken word open mic event at Global Gourmet. Transpoetic Playground, a group of area poets, partnered with the SIU theater department in light of the Feb. 21-24 production “For Colored Girls who have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow is Enuf” to present the night’s theme of women’s abuse, hope and healing. Dorsey said themes are interesting because they can help fuel a poet’s inspiration. “The best part about our open mic nights is sharing and knowing that people are there to listen to whatever it is you’re sharing,” Dorsey said.

Prospective college students will soon have a new way to put institutions to the test. The scorecard program, which President Barack Obama reintroduced during his Feb. 12 State of the Union address, will display the graduation rate, average cost of attendance per year and median loan payments expected for any institution selected, according to the White House’s web site. The new program will provide students a way to compare education costs and benefits, but university officials said the data may be skewed and other programs may present more accurate information. While the scorecard program is new, Chancellor Rita Cheng said in an email that the university has long been up front with its costs. “The scorecard is consistent with my focus on student success and completion, preparing students for post-graduation economic and life success and keeping the cost of college affordable,” she said. The scorecard uses data provided by the U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency Center, but Cheng said the data isn’t quite what it’s made out to be.

MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian A university task force is looking to increase campus efficiency. The Complementary Practices and Academic Efficiencies task force is responsible for suggesting redundant classes to eliminate, determining how to move classes to more beneficial departments and increasing inter-department cooperation while containing costs, according to the task force report. The task force presented an attachment of recommendations for different university programs during Faculty Senate’s Feb. 12 meeting, and the suggestions include moving economics and agribusiness economics under the College of Business finance program as well as moving computer science to the College of Engineering. Jim Allen, task force chair and associate provost for academic programs, said Provost John Nicklow established the task force last spring after the Illinois Board of Higher Education required all universities to create a program review committee. University spokesman Rod
Sievers said the group plays an important role, especially in the state’s weak economy. However, he said, it is still too early to determine how the task force’s suggestions and class combination would impact the university’s future and budget. “Money has been quite an issue given the state of the economy for the state, for the institution, and the state continues to cut back on the amount of money they provide the institution,” he said. “We have to start looking at efficiencies. Can we do that without affecting the quality of the academic offerings? … That’s certainly what this task force was designed to do.” Allen said the group’s suggestions are now under consideration in departments across campus. He said while the task force looks for results, it is cautious in the information it presents. The group decided the best way to determine program changes is to let departments decide what might work and direct their Faculty Senate representatives to recommend changes, he said.

Study Abroad program expands to Phillippines ELIZABETH ZINCHUK Daily Egyptian Students will soon have more options to earn university credit around the world. The Center for the Inclusive Excellence is sponsoring a new program, called “Global Seminar:! Culture, Education, Health and Politics in Manila, Philippines� that will allow students to study abroad. Thomas Saville, Study Abroad associate director, said students pay $3,500 in expenses and leave the country from May 17 to May 31. The deadline to register is March 1, according to a CIE flier. Peter Gitau, associate vice chancellor for student and intercultural affairs, said he encouraged the center to have the program because Sapphire Cureg, CIE director and a Phillippines native, would be an invaluable student resource. “She’s from the Phillppines, so we wanted to utilize her experience,� he said. Gitau said the university’s Study Abroad program reaches unique destinations such as Ghana, Europe, South America and beyond, but the Philippines is a distinct part of the world the program has not yet explored. !"#!$%%!&'()$*+',(&-+)!.(//%)-)012 he said. “Each program is unique in it’s own way.� Gitau said he is an advocate of studing abroad, and he wishes every student would take advantage of the opportunity. “The Phillipines is very different,� Gitau said. “So if you are able, why not explore the world?� Thomas Saville, Center for International Education associate director, said students
of any major can join the program, and any student can receive Educational Leadership or Africana Studies elective credit if they are in good academic standing. Saville said majors or minors such as health education and political science may be interested in the program. ! "3&45%)&$! 6-77! 0%&!

Saville said the Phillippines trip may attract new students to the Study Abroad program because of its location and ability to explore a different culture. “It attracts students all over the campus,� he said. “A part of it is that the center’s role is to try to increase opportunities for students and attract a diverse group of students.� Saville said the program is based in Manila, but will also explore cultural landmarks such as the vice presidential palace. “It’s a mixture of institution-based activities and student cultural programs,� he said. Heather Hernandez, Center for Inclusive Excellence employee, said a main goal of the center is knowledge promotion of different cultures. She said the Study Abroad program is a good way to diversify knowledge. Hernandez said the Philippines is not a common place for students to consider when evaluating study abroad options. “I think often when people think study abroad they think popular places like England, Italty or Ireland, so we are trying to show that there are other choices out there,� she said.

SCORECARD CONTINUED FROM

“Unfortunately, much of the data is old and available from other sources, so in that way not much help,� she said. “In particular, the university’s data on tuition and fee increases is from 2007-2009 and not relevant today.� Cheng said the scorecard’s data reflects costs for only full-time freshmen who begin their college careers at the university, and it does not include transfer or part-time students. Families need more concise information, she said. “In addition, the scorecard has averages and medians, not individualized information,� Cheng said. “What families need is information on how much they will pay (individually), not averages.� Financial aid director Terri Harfst said the university has offered the same information as the scorecard to prospective students for some time. “The university has always put everything out front for students, every part of our cost of attendance from room and board to living expenses like gas and ordering late-night pizza,� she said. Harfst said families needed a regulated system to compare different colleges’ cost, but the scorecard isn’t necessarily the best solution. She said the shopping sheet, a new federal program that allows a school to break down its cost of attendance line by line and uses a student’s FAFSA information to determine individualized costs, is a better solution. “The Department of Education has realized the need for these numbers to be communicated to students and families, but I believe the new shopping sheet program is more appropriate,� Harfst said. Universities must elect to join the shopping sheet program. While it may be difficult to compare schools that participate with those that don’t, Harfst said more schools join frequently.
“Sometimes the total cost of attendance can be fairly shocking,� she said. “It’s easier to digest when it’s broken down and you can see where the money is going.� Cheng said she does not think the new programs will negatively impact university enrollment. “We will continue to provide our own, more individualized, information to prospective students and families,� she said. “As well as communicating the value, and relative low cost, of a degree from our university.� While the programs seek to help families choose the right college, students have their own ideas about whether they receive enough educational value per dollar. Sarah Niebrugge, a freshman from Teutopolis studying photojournalism, said she understands why the program is needed, but she thinks her individual education is worth the amount of money she pays for it. “Even if the scorecard had been available when I decided to come to the university, I would still have chosen SIU,� she said. Mark Muellner, a senior from Aurora studying criminal justice, said he thinks the scorecard program is a waste of both time and money. “This information is already available to prospective students,� he said. “Including the announcement of a program like this during the State of the Union was not a great use of time.� Muellner said he is satisfied with the education value the university provides. However, he said attendance costs affect him less because he received the Post 9-11 G.I. Bill, which covers tuition and fees equal to the state’s most expensive public school. “If you’re an incoming freshman, you should absolutely be given a breakdown of exactly what college will cost you,� he said. “Not just tuition but living expenses too, and the scorecard isn’t individualized enough to help new students make this life-changing decision.�
MARRIAGE CONTINUED FROM
1
“The first amendment to the United States Constitution always protects the free exercise of religion, which includes deciding whom to marry and whom not to marry,� he said. “Even if they wanted to, they could not force ministers or priests to marry anyone, gay or straight.� Josh Swain, pastor of The View Church in Carbondale, said he is unsure whether the law will pass, but he is happy the clause is included. “Even if it wasn’t there, I still would make my decision on what ceremony I was going to perform,� he said. “I don’t really think that someone would want someone performing a wedding ceremony for them if they didn’t agree with their union.� Swain said the bill’s potential passing does not excite him, but he is not angry. He said as a Christian, he will love all people and be their friend and pastor no matter their life decisions. “We are all precious in the sight of God and not one person more than any other person. However, speaking for me individually, I believe that marriage was instituted by God to be between one man and one woman,� he said. “However, the government is going to make the decision that the government is going to make, and what I have found in every aspect of life is that we cannot ask the government to legislate morality.� The rise in same-sex marriage approval is something assistant sociology professor Christopher Wienke said comes from younger generations. “The vast majority of people under 30 are supportive of gay marriage,� he said. “People with college educations are much more supportive. The aging of the populations and greater success of somewhat younger generations is driving the attitudinal shift.� Wienke said marriage’s societal image has changed over time as well. “Marriage itself doesn’t have the same

meaning it once did,� he said. “Marriage is no longer acquainted with children and setting up a household. It has more of an individualized meaning in the sense of personal fulfillment, personal development, personal need.� Illinois already recognizes civil unions, which Macias said is essentially the same as a marriage from a legal standpoint but lacks the symbolism that accompanies marriage. “The idea with a civil union is to provide same-sex couples with all of the legal state rights that married couples have,� he said. “In that case, as some courts that force marriage in particular states realized, the only difference between civil unions and same-sex marriage was the name itself.� Wienke said it may only be a name difference, but the name carries symbolic importance. The idea of same-sex marriage is consistent with American values of acceptance and differences, he said. “Marriage is a critical component in this culture because it’s something that is taxed by the state, and there is a legal policy component to it,� he said. “Our government has historically privileged marriage as a component of family life. As a preferred kind of arrangement, it’s tied to a lot of legal protections and benefits and rights and responsibilities.� Mary Sophia Hall, a senior from Boulder, Colo., studying studio arts, said she thinks the bill will be passed into law, and Illinois is ready for the change. “As a college student in a same-sex civil union, the passing of this bill means that there will be fewer barriers that my partner and I will have to face that married heterosexual couples do not,� she said. “The political climate here is, for the most part, very positive when it comes to equal
— Josh Swain Pastor, The View Church
rights for same-sex couples. It seems that the rest of the United States may not be far behind.� Hall said although the state may soon allow same sex marriage, she found problems filling out her financial aid application because it is a federal document and does not recognize civil unions. “A student under 25 in a marriage would be considered an independent adult, whereas a student of the same age in a civil union would not,� she said. “Since then, the LGBTQ Resource Center has worked with a receptive Financial Aid Office to make sure that rules are in place to treat civil unions with as much weight as marriages.� Hall said she does not care if a religious group or individual does not consider her married. All that matters is that she is in love with her partner, she said. “What is important to me is that our marriage is afforded the same respect and multitude of rights given to heterosexual, married couples by the government,� she said. “Every moment that same-sex couples are denied these rights is a moment that this country isn’t what it ought to be — a place where we are equal.� Macias said the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act’s constitutionality next month and potentially recognize same-sex marriage before the spring term’s end. “It may be by the summer, the federal government will recognize same sex marriages where they are legal,� he said. “That doesn’t mean that they’ll be forced upon other states. In the legal field, same-sex couples have all the same problems everyone else has and the courts generally have been able to deal with them without any sort of discriminatory treatment.�

However, task force recommendations do not have to be followed, he said, and departments are not mandated to act on the report. Although some classes might be combined or removed, it is highly unlikely changes will result in job loss, Allen said. It is not in the best interest to lay off employees because the university may move programs around, he said. “What we’re talking about is trying to strengthen programs where faculty have retired or left, and we haven’t been able to get enough of a budget from the state to hire replacements and won’t be for a while yet,� he said. Several students said the task force is essential, but the university should also continue to search for other revenue sources. Logan Hoeltke, a junior from Orangeville studying mathematics, said although SIU should look for additional revenue generators, the task force is a great idea because the university should cut costs when it can. “It would tighten things up,� he said. “If a class is redundant and it’s not working like it should, if people aren’t getting their money’s worth, then I say out with them.� Hoeltke said he believes condensing classes could also lessen student-teacher interaction. However, he said the teacher and class size do not matter if students apply themselves. Alex Kirt, a graduate student in mass communications from Makanda, said the decision to condense classes is interesting. “It seems like more classes would be better for the university,� he said. “At the same time, if they don’t have the money to do it, I guess maybe they’re going into survival mode.� Condensed classes could also limit students’ learning opportunities, Kirt said. “I found in my studies here that having a variety of different people teaching really benefits you in the long run and your educational experience just because people can be specialized in different areas,� he said.

Who decides who will be killed by U.S. drone attacks? Protectors of civil liberties have expressed dissatisfaction with the present system of unreviewed presidential discretion, whether in the hands of George W. Bush or Barack Obama. Must an individual have attacked America or Americans to make the “kill list”? Are the standards higher if the target is a U.S. citizen? How much “collateral damage” is acceptable? And, above all, how comfortable are we with one person, albeit the commander in chief, making these decisions? Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has suggested that a judicial panel might be added to the process. Other suggestions include using the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress. A judicial drone panel would be similar in concept to the court set up by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, in which federal judges decide on warrants to allow eavesdropping in national security cases.
They make their judgments on the familiar legal basis of whether there is probable cause to suspect a crime has been committed. However, it would not be appropriate here. It is an entirely different kind of decision to weigh the value of a target and collateral damage in a drone attack. Nothing in a judge’s training prepares him or her to make that decision, and this approach confuses the government’s role in prosecuting criminals with the government’s role in carrying out a war. Involving congressional oversight committees is also an inadequate solution. They can’t move quickly; yet delay could cause opportunity to vanish. Further, such decision-making isn’t a comfortable fit with Congress’ legislative or oversight functions, and if it were, it is the entire Congress, not just some members, in whom Article 1 of the Constitution vests authority. Obviously, submitting these questions to the entire Congress would be unworkable. There is another answer: In 1973, the War Powers Resolution became law as an accommodation to the swift realities of modern war. Rather than exercise its constitutional power to declare war, Congress may vote to authorize the
use of force within 60 days after U.S. armed forces are “introduced into hostilities.” If Congress does not pass such an authorization, the action must cease. The War Powers Resolution respects the Constitution’s requirements: Congress makes the initial judgment on war but then hands over to the president the authority to wage it. After 9/11, under this law, Congress authorized the president “to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations or persons” connected with the attack “to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States.” But the 9/11 resolution may not extend to drone cases now being considered, which have little to do with the specific groups that attacked us a decade ago. A new resolution could give the president the authority to make use of drones as a necessary and appropriate force against current iterations of alQaida and other specified terrorist organizations, for a certain period of time. Declarations of war don’t have a cutoff date, but this is a different situation. In traditional wars, the government will eventually negotiate a truce or a peace treaty with an enemy state, ending the authority granted. In the war on terrorism, however, there
is no responsible country on the other side to negotiate with, so Congress will need to review the authority periodically. Two presidents have defied the War Powers Resolution (Bill Clinton and Obama); others (George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush) have abided by it without admitting that it is binding. With 36 other members of Congress (including Republican Ron Paul and Democrat Dennis Kucinich), I brought a lawsuit in 1999 against President Clinton for bombing Yugoslavia for more than 60 days without obtaining congressional approval. The case was dismissed for lack of standing. President Obama conducted war in Libya in excess of 60 days without a resolution, and members of Congress sued once again; the case was also dismissed for lack of standing. Hence, the constitutionality of the War Powers Resolution has never been settled. Congress should pass a new resolution to cover drone attacks, and the Supreme Court should decide its constitutionality. In so doing, the balance of powers would be restored. The court would be fulfilling its appropriate constitutional responsibility, and if this approach were upheld, so would Congress and the president.

Ben Dory, a graduate student in art from Lawrence, Kan., works on a piece Tuesday in Pulliam Hall. The piece is one of a series created from a combination of techniques that include metalworking and bookbinding. Dory said he made the pieces as a statement about the rising use of digital books after he learned Encyclopedia Britannica was ceasing print operations. The Glove Factory will display firstyear graduate art students’ work Friday, and second-year graduate art students’ work will be shown March 1.
Art Institute of Chicago opens Picasso show CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press CHICAGO — A century after the Art Institute of Chicago became the first American museum to show work by Pablo Picasso, the institution is celebrating the Spanish artist with a major exhibition featuring his art and its relationship with the city. “Picasso and Chicago” opens Wednesday, featuring 250 works — nearly half of the museum’s own Picasso collection along with pieces from private collections and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It’s the Chicago museum’s first major Picasso exhibition in three decades. “One of my hopes is that people can appreciate the art and enjoy it but then also at the same time sort of fall back in love with these works for the history that they represent,” exhibit curator Stephanie D’Alessandro said. One of Picasso’s designs is a wellknown city attraction, a 50-foot-tall (15-meter-tall) steel sculpture at the downtown Richard J. Daley Center.
Children often play on the massive piece in summer, while visitors debate what the enigmatic artwork depicts. But the artist and the city have a deeper relationship than simply a tourist attraction, museum president and director Douglas Druick said. “There’s a link between Chicago and Picasso in terms of temperament,” Druick said. “A restlessness, a desire to improve, a desire to change, a desire never to stand still.” D’Alessandro believes Picasso’s art has a boundary-breaking, revolutionary vision similar to Chicago’s character and energy. “That bold vision, that interest in the new and the modern and the technologically interesting is something that Picasso was,” she said. “I think his personality was perfectly akin to that and I think that that kind of spirit really appealed to Chicagoans.” The museum became the first in the nation to feature Picasso when it decided to give space to
the 1913 Armory Show, which the museum says introduced European modernism to an American audience. It was a move Druick describes as bold and daring for the time because even though the exhibit was presented in New York and Boston, it was only shown in a museum in Chicago. “We were the only museum willing to take the risk to show the paintings and sculpture that had drawn so much criticism and ire when shown in New York,” Druick said. “Picasso and Chicago” features paintings, drawings, works on paper, ceramics and sculptures, including “Old Guitarist,” ‘’Mother and Child” and Picasso’s 1906 self-portrait. It runs chronologically from the artist’s early years in Barcelona to his late years in the south of France. The exhibit is open through May 12. It is accompanied by related exhibitions throughout the Art Institute’s other galleries, including installations such as “Picasso and Cezanne,” “Picasso, Paris and African Art” and “Picasso and American Art.”

Deng leads Bulls over Hornets 96 - 87 BRETT MARTEL Associated Press N EW O R L E A N S — Luol Deng scored 20 points and the Chicago Bulls snapped a two-game skid with a 96-87 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Tuesday night. The Bulls took the lead for good late in the first quarter, but didn’t put the Hornets away until Deng’s clutch jumper from the top of the key with 44.8 seconds left put Chicago up 94-87 after the Hornets had pulled within five points on Eric Gordon’s 3-pointer. Carlos Boozer added 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Joakim Noah had 15 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, which outrebounded New
Orleans 47-39 and had 15 secondchance points. Gordon finished with 20 and Anthony Davis had 15 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which saw its two-game winning streak snapped after committing nine of its 15 turnovers in the final quarter. Greivis Vasquez had 11 points and 10 assists for the Hornets. Kirk Hinrich had 10 assists for the Bulls, who combined for 30 assists as a team and shot 46.4 percent (39 of 84). Deng, Boozer and Noah all shot 50 percent of better. Deng was 7 of 13 from the field, Noah 6 of 11 and Boozer 8 of 16. The Bulls led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter when Kirk Hinrich’s transition 3 and Boozer’s reverse layup
made it 64-52, but the Hornets kept making it interesting, pulling within 74-68 on Anderson’s free throws in the final seconds of the period. Early in the fourth quarter, reserve point guard Brian Roberts hit a jumper and 3 in succession, pulling New Orleans within 76-75. But Chicago responded soon after with a key 6-0 spurt on Nate Robinson’s finger roll, Jimmy Butler’s layup after an offensive rebound and former Hornet Marco Belinelli’s free throws. Davis’ dunk snapped the minirun and New Orleans trailed 88-82 on Gordon’s driving layup with 3:48 left, but Boozer scored inside and Noah banked in a difficult jump hook to make it 92-82 with 2:53 left, and New Orleans couldn’t recover.
Chicago surged into the lead for good by closing out the first quarter with a 14-4 run that included Taj Gibson’s dunk and 3s by Belinelli and Deng, the latter making it 26-21. The Bulls maintained the lead throughout the second quarter, going up by as many as nine in the period when Butler’s right wing 3 and Gibson’s follow-up dunk powered a 7-0 run that made it 37-28. Davis, who had a pair of crowdpleasing dunks in the opening half — one in which he lifted off just inside the foul line and another one-handed throw-down of an alley-oop — closed out the first half with an even more impressive score, snagging a long pass from Vasquez, then quickly turning and banking in
a short shot as he was shoved to the floor by Noah. Davis hit the ensuing free throw to trim Chicago’s lead to 47-43 at halftime. Ryan Anderson and Al-Farouq Aminu each scored 10 for New Orleans. The Hornets won the only other meeting this season, 89-82 Nov. 3 in Chicago, despite the absence of Davis, who missed the game as a precaution after getting a concussion in the previous game. Hinrich was called for a technical foul in the third quarter for arguing with official Sean Wright. Two days after the dunkfilled All-Star game, both teams went looking to score from above the rim and didn’t always convert. Davis, Noah and Aminu all missed dunks in the first half.

JACK ROBINSON Daily Egyptian In the fourth game of its season, the SIU baseball team scored eight runs against the University of Tennessee-Martin’s four in junior pitcher Bryce Sablotny’s first Saluki win. Saluki scoring happened when the team earned five unanswered runs in the first three innings. The first came in the opening inning, when junior shortstop Ryan Rosthenhausler scored on junior outfielder Donny Duschinsky’s hit to right field. Runs then came pouring in the third inning, when three Salukis scored off of four hits. The Skyhawks’ first runs came in the bottom of the fourth inning. Sablotny walked Skyhawk senior infielder Wade Collins with loaded bases, which allowed UTM senior outfielder Grant Glasser to score. Morris then scored off of junior infielder Luke Sornsen’s single to first on the next play. Morris’ run brought the Skyhawks within three runs, but that was the closest the team came to winning through the whole game. The Salukis sealed the game when they scored two runs at the top of the ninth inning. Junior infielder Ryan Casillas scored the first of the inning when senior outfielder Brock Harding hit a fly out to center field. Senior catcher Luke Mottashed then hit a single to the right side, which allowed Duschinsky to score on the team’s final out of the inning. Sablotny pitched five innings, faced 17 batters and struck out three Skyhawks during his first Saluki game. He also allowed two runs and gave up only three hits. Junior relief pitcher Todd Eaton grabbed his second save of the year as he struck out one batter in the bottom of the ninth to clinch the Saluki win. Before he came to SIU, Sablotny was a member of the Lincoln Land Community College baseball team. During his time at LLCC, he posted a 16-5 record and a 4.13 earned run average. SIU struggled the past three games with their hitting. However, The Salukis seemed to have found their stride in Tuesday’s game after they posted the eight runs and fifteen hits in their win. The team hit the ball only 19 times in its previous three outings. SIU’s record improves to 2-2 on the season and 20-9 on their all-time record against the Skyhawks. The Salukis travel Friday to Jacksonville State University for a three-game series against the Gamecocks. SIU aims to continue its win streak, and the Gamecocks look to post their first win of the 2013 season. Jack Robinson can be reached at Jrobinson@dailyegyptian.com or 533-3311 ext. 269.

Junior jumper Kenya Culmer attempts a high jump Tuesday at the Recreation Center. Culmer was the Missouri Valley Conference champion last year in the event and posted a 1.81-meter jump. The Salukis head to Cedar Falls, Iowa on Feb. 23 and 24 for the MVC Championship.
Creighton cruises past Salukis DEMARIO PHIPPS-SMITH Daily Egyptian Creighton’s Blue Jays played suffocating defense all night against the Salukis and held them to just 35 percent shooting from the field to take the game 59-45 during SIU’s 16th consecutive conference road loss Tuesday. Jays’ senior guard Grant Gibbs affected the game in almost every aspect for Creighton (22-6, 11-5 Missouri Valley Conference) as he tallied 13 points, five assists, five rebounds and two steals. Gibbs was also clutch from the free-throw line, as his seven free-throw buckets were four more than the player with the second highest amount. Creighton shot 51 percent in the game, but the team’s defense was key to its victory. The Jays’ defense hindered the Salukis into tough contested shots all night. SIU (11-15, 4-11 MVC) shot 22 percent from beyond the 3-point line and made just 18 of their 51 total shots. Saluki junior guard Desmar Jackson was ineffective scoring the ball and hasn’t scored more than 20 points in nine consecutive conference games. Jackson was held to just 5 points and went 1-9 from the field. The junior struggled with foul trouble and suffered an ankle injury late in the second half as he played just 17 minutes on the night. After displaying signs of resurgent play, SIU sophomore forward Dantiel Daniels scored two points and failed to collect any rebounds. Daniels grabbed more than five rebounds in each of the two games before Tuesday’s. Fellow Saluki post forward junior Davante Drinkard also tallied just 2 points but managed to notch three rebounds and an assist. The inside scoring threat and lack of a post presence prevented the Salukis from
getting clean looks on long-distance shots. However, Creighton thrived on the inside and outscored the Salukis 3418 in the paint. Senior guard T.J. Lindsay was hot from the 3-point line coming into the game, but could not connect on either of his two 3-point attempts on the night. The Salukis appear to shoot well from the perimeter when Lindsay makes his shots, but the senior didn’t seem focused tonight and went just 1-5 shooting in the contest. SIU senior guards Jeff Early and Kendal Brown-Surles were the two bright spots on a dull offensive night. Early led the Salukis with 12 points and five rebounds, and his defensive energy led him to a game-high three steals. BrownSurles read the court well and dished a game-high five assists. The 5-foot-11 guard also scored 6 points and connected
on one of the Salukis’ three 3-pointers. The Salukis played great individual defense against Creighton’s forward Doug McDermott as they held him to just 10 points on 4-11 shot attempts in 26 minutes. SIU also defended Jays’ big man Gregory Echenique effectively as he scored just 6 points against a small SIU frontcourt. Echenique was also limited on the glass and held to three rebounds. Creighton found success through the Blue Jays’ role players. Center Artino Will scored 13 points on 6-6 shooting and grabbed 5 boards in 17 playing minutes. Gibbs and guard Jahenns Manigat accounted for 19 points and eight assists in Creighton’s backcourt. SIU will face Miami of Ohio in Carbondale Sat., Feb. 23 in the ESPN BracketBusters game.

Junior guard Desmar Jackson retrieves a loose ball Saturday during the Salukis’ 62-54 victory over Missouri State University at SIU Arena. SIU fell 59-46 Tuesday to Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. Jackson saw early foul trouble, injured an ankle in the second half and scored just five points in the game.
