Sustainability council funds eco-friendly projects WHITNEY WAY Daily Egyptian Thompson Woods can breathe again, says Susannah Bunny LeBaron. The Green Fund Committee, part of the SIUC Sustainability Council which is run by students, approved a grant for multiple campus environmental projects, including $841 to aid in the restoration of Thompson Woods after the SIUC Fire Dawgs, a Registered Student Organization, set fire to the woods in order to decrease invasive insect populations, said LeBaron, chair of the Committee. “The purpose of the council is to promote sustainability at all levels of campus life,� LeBaron said. The committee, which is supported by the $10 green fee incorporated into student tuition, awarded more than $59,000 in grant money toward 10 environmental projects. The
Sustainability Council, which has nine members altogether, selected the projects that would be funded, LeBaron said. Projects include the Thompson Woods restoration, the incorporation of environmental studies into local high school curriculum, the SIU Sustainability Intern program, recycling bins for student housing, SIUC’s local food network and using coal to produce solar-cell energy. In May 2009, the SIU Board of Trustees enacted the Green Fund Committee, which is made up of students and faculty, said Paul Restivo, chair of the Sustainability Council. Students suggested the creation of the Green Fund Committee and the incorporation of the green fee into student tuition, Restivo said. “Students control their dollars,� Restivo said. “Three of the five (Green Fund Committee) members have to be students.� Please see SUSTAINABILITY | 3

Money exchanges hands between grower and buyer at the Carbondale Farmers’ Market in the Murdale Shopping Center, Saturday. Farmers’ Markets across the country are eligible for a United States Department of Agriculture grant worth more than $10 million through the Farmers’ Market Promotion Program. The Green Fund, a sustainability committee at SIUC, was awarded money for sustainable projects from this grant.
Local governments, if they are directly connected to a farmers’ market, are also eligible. However, the city of Carbondale has no such connection. Francis Murphy, general manager of the Neighborhood Co-op Grocery, said he has traveled throughout the Midwest and is aware other cities have invested in their own farmers’ market infrastructures, such as permanent booths for sellers. “I would love to see the city connected,� Murphy said.
Bars compete for summer night life business TARA KULASH Daily Egyptian

Sarah Brzoznowski, center, of Carbondale, gets a drink for a patron Tuesday at Tres Hombres. Brzoznowski has worked at Tres for seven years. Tres has served Carbondale for
nearly 30 years. Alan Dillard, of Jonesboro, said he has tried to come once a week since they opened in 1982. “I come for the food and for friendship,� Dillard said.
When it’s time to pick a bar for the night, Alec Wallis says he considers which places have the best beer gardens, cheapest drinks and most people. Wallis, a junior from Kirkwood, Mo., studying music-business, said Pinch Penny Pub offers all three. “There’s just so many people there over the summer,� Wallis said. “If you want to go see your friends and see people you know, they’re going to be at Pinch.� With summer semester comes lower student enrollment, and for the city of Carbondale that can mean fewer consumers for businesses. For night life in particular, Matt Longueville said each bar has something different to offer, which can dictate their customer base. Although bars such as Pinch offer less expensive drink prices, he said people also take entertainment
into consideration. “I think every bar in town kind of has its own niche,� said Longueville, part-owner of Tres Hombres. “Any bar that has Dollar Night is where the kids are most likely going to go. For me, you’ve got to have a good band or something to compete with that.� Although Pinch has Dollar Night on Tuesdays, where many drinks are offered for prices as low as a dollar, Wallis said his favorite bar at the moment is Callahan’s Irish Pub because it has specials every day of the week. He said he also likes the nice interior of Hangar 9 but feels drink prices and cover are too expensive at times. “From the times I’ve been in there, they’ve been pretty dead, especially when they should be maintaining steady business,� he said. “But it’s fun because if you come in with a big group of friends, you run the whole bar.� Please see BARS | 3

SUSTAINABILITY CONTINUED FROM

Restivo said the Sustainability Council and Green Fund Committee look for ways to improve the ecological environment of the campus. He said the council makes recommendations to the vice chancellor of administration and finance in regards to environmental maintenance. SIUC was included in the 17 percent of schools whose student groups thrive, in the Princeton Review's 2011 Guide to Green Colleges, according to a university press release. LeBaron said after the spring 2011 projects, the Green Fund will have $146,504 remaining to invest in other sustainability projects and programs on campus. A program or project can apply for money from the Green Fund Committee and, if approved, have a set deadline to spend the money, Restivo said. He said if the money is not spent by the deadline, it will be reclaimed by the Green Fund Committee and put toward other projects. LeBaron said projects chosen by the sustainability committee represent the broad range of sustainability concerns on campus.
BARS CONTINUED FROM

Wallis said he thinks Hangar 9 needs to find a good balance to compete with other bars, particularly Pinch. However, Sally Carter, owner of Hangar 9, said business has been great during the summer. “(The bars are) almost, I suppose, in competition with each other to a degree, but everybody offers something different,� she said. Many bars offer live bands, but
“There are students developing new technology for solar-cell production,� LeBaron said. “Others are working on projects that focus locally, ranging from our networks of food distribution to the removal of invasive species from Thompson Woods ... and supporting ecological ways to address the needs of disabled students. And a number of people are focused on the need for both hands-on and classroom-based education regarding sustainability.� The Green Fund Committee funds various on-campus green incentive projects, said Rod Sievers, assistant to the chancellor. “(The Green Fund Committee) sets SIUC apart,� Sievers said. “The (committee) does a great job in deciding which projects to fund.� LeBaron said students are encouraged to join the committee and provide suggestions. “The best part of this job is reading all the proposals ... and addressing concerns of campus sustainability,� LeBaron said.

Farrar gives US a win on July 4 at Tour de France JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press Two months ago, Tyler Farrar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrow after his best friend died in a crash at the Giro d’Italia. On Monday, Farrar became the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of July. It was the first time he had won a stage in cycling’s showcase race, and he dedicated the victory to the late Wouter Weylandt of Belgium. After crossing the finish line, Farrar held up his hands to form a “W’’ with his fingers and thumbs in tribute to Weylandt. Farrar, a sprint specialist from Wenatchee, Wash., who rides for Garmin-Cervelo, sped ahead in the
last few hundred yards of the 123mile course from Olonne-sur-Mer to Redon to win the third stage. He has now won a stage in each of cycling’s three-week major tours — France, Italy and Spain. The previous American to win a Tour de France stage was Levi Leipheimer, who in 2007 was first in the individual time trial in Angouleme. It was during the third stage of another race — the Giro in Italy on May 9 — when Weylandt clipped a wall on a steep descent. He fell off his bike and slammed his head on the ground, dying almost instantly. It was the first death of a rider at one of the major tours in 16 years. Jonathan Vaughters, the GarminCervelo team manager, said Weylandt was Farrar’s best friend from the time Farrar was 15 years old. Vaughters said he wasn’t going
to push Farrar to ride again, adding that he would have understood if the 27-year-old American decided to wait until next year to race again. Farrar gave Garmin-Cervelo a second straight victory following a win in Sunday’s time trial that left Hushovd with the yellow shirt. Overall, Hushovd leads teammate David Millar of Britain, in second, by a split second. Cadel Evans of Australia of BMC is third, a second back. Three-time Tour champion Alberto Contador, who lost time Saturday after becoming entangled in a crash, is 69th — 1:42 behind the Norwegian. Others looking to contend for the title on the Champs-Elysees on July 24 include 2010 runner-up Andy Schleck of Luxembourg and Bradley Wiggins of Britain. Schleck is eighth overall and Wiggins is 10th, each four seconds off the lead.
In Monday’s final dash, the HTCHighroad team of British sprint star Mark Cavendish lined up near the 2.4-mile mark to escort him to the finish line. But by the last few hundred yards, Hushovd and Farrar had zoomed ahead. “To have the world champion and yellow jersey work for you to launch the sprint, it’s crazy,” Farrar said. The American nosed ahead of France’s Romain Feillu, who was second, and Spain’s Jose Joaquin Rojas, who was third. Farrar and a pack all had the same time: 4 hours, 40 minutes, 21 seconds. Five breakaway riders jumped out early in the stage from the coastal town of Olonne-sur-Mer, building a lead of as much as 8 minutes, 5 seconds by the 46-mile mark. The fast-moving pack reeled them all in with 5.5 miles to go. The 2-mile blustery ride over the
Loire River temporarily broke up the pack. Another challenge was a sprint at Saint-Hilaire-de-Chaleons, about halfway through the stage. There, Cavendish’s hopes of winning the green jersey — awarded to the best sprinter — took a bad turn. Hushovd cut ahead of him and Cavendish responded by burrowing his head into the Norwegian’s back. Race officials penalized both men by docking them to the last places in the pack for the intermediate sprint, costing them crucial points for the green jersey. Cavendish says winning it is a goal this year. Hushovd has won that jersey twice, and says he’s not aiming for it this year. Hushovd could be pressured for the lead as soon as Tuesday when the pack travels 107 miles from Lorient to Mur de Bretagne with a supersteep, 1.2-mile uphill finish.
Britain shocked by hacking into slain girl’s phone GREGORY KATZ Associated Press Britain’s long-running phone hacking scandal has taken a sickening twist, with claims that a tabloid newspaper hacked into the phone mail of an abducted teenage girl and may have hampered the police investigation into her disappearance. Prime Minister David Cameron said Tuesday he was deeply shocked by the new charges and called for a thorough police inquiry. The case involves 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who went missing in 2002 and was murdered by a
nightclub doorman who has been convicted of the crime. The new allegations center on the controversial News of the World tabloid, which has already seen a number of its journalists arrested for breaking into the cell phone voicemail systems of celebrities, sports figures and royal aides. The newspaper has admitted wrongdoing in those cases and made financial settlements with some of its victims, including actress Sienna Miller. The newspaper is now accused of hacking into Dowler’s voicemail and deleting several messages on her cell phone, giving her parents
false hope that she was alive as well as potentially damaging the police effort to find her. Lawyer Mark Lewis, representing the family, said he plans to sue the tabloid for its interference in the days after the girl went missing while heading home from school in Walton-on-Thames in Surrey, south of London. Her remains were found in woodlands six months later by mushroom pickers. It was not clear how long she was alive after being abducted. The Dowler family claims a private investigator working for the paper deleted some of Milly’s messages to make room for new
messages. The family was told of the intrusion into her cell phone in April, but the accusations were only made public Monday. Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, which publishes the tabloid, said in an email to her staff Tuesday that the “strongest possible” actions would be taken if the charges were found to be true. Brooks said in the email that she had no knowledge of the alleged hacking and she would not resign. News International said it would be conducting its own inquiry into the allegations.
News International is the main U.K. subsidiary of News Corp., where media mogul Rupert Murdoch is chief executive. A private investigator and a royals editor who worked for News of the World were jailed in 2007 for tapping the phones of royal household staff. Five more people have been arrested since a fresh police investigation began in January. Opposition leader Ed Miliband of the Labour Party said Tuesday that Brooks should “consider her position” in light of the new accusations, which he said threaten to put a stain on British journalism.

THEIR WORD
Obama’s still on the fence about same-sex marriage The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, July 1: Last month President Obama, addressing a fundraising dinner in New York, said: “I believe that gay couples deserve the same human rights as every other couple in this country.� The natural interpretation of those words is that Obama was endorsing same-sex marriage. But he wasn’t. He made that clear Wednesday in some maddening remarks at a White House news
conference. Yet again he spoke in a way that would convince an unwary listener that he supported marriage equality. Referring to New York state’s enactment of a same-sex marriage law, Obama said it was a “good thing.� But he quickly made it clear that he wasn’t endorsing same-sex marriage. This equivocation is unworthy of a president who, as he boasts, has done much to promote equality for gays and lesbians, including pressing for the abolition of the military’s
“don’t ask, don’t tell� policy. Obama’s defense of his position comprises two arguments. One is that his thinking is “evolving� (a process that would seem likely to culminate at some point in support for same-sex marriage). The other is that same-sex marriage is a matter for the states to deal with. At his news conference, Obama said that “each community is going to be different and each state is going to be different.� But that’s sophistry. Even if one firmly believes that
the states have the right to legalize or outlaw gay marriage, that’s no reason not to take a position of one’s own. One can have a view on a subject — say, that the legal driving age should be 16 — without questioning the right of the states to make their own laws. Of course, some of Obama’s critics see another explanation: concern about the 2012 election. But allowing politics to determine his position on this issue strikes a profile in caution, not
courage. And a refusal to endorse same-sex marriage may not be the political asset the president seems to think it is. Voters who would penalize him for supporting same-sex marriage might already be alienated by his other gay-rights initiatives. When a reporter at Wednesday’s news conference pressed Obama on his position, the president said, “I’m not going to make news on that today.� But he should make news somewhere, and soon. Just say yes, Mr. President.
GUEST COLUMN
PETA: In running of the bulls, the bulls finish dead last JENNIFER O’CONNOR PETA Every July, bored middle-class Americans, Canadians, Aussies and Europeans with time and money head to Pamplona, Spain, to amuse themselves by running with the bulls. But by the time these tourists go home with hangovers and anecdotes, the bulls who are victims of this exercise in machismo will be dead. Even though this event is about as relevant today as an eighttrack tape player, reporters still fill up column space by glamorizing the run. What’s rarely mentioned is that the bulls are whipped and terrorized to force them to run down streets crowded with masses of ine-
briated people hitting them with sticks. Bulls slip and fall on the slick cobblestone streets, often breaking horns or sustaining other injuries. And few tourists know the ultimate fate of the animals: death, one by one, in the bullring. It’s hard to believe that bulls are still being stabbed to death for entertainment in 2011. The running of the bulls is just a prelude to them being led into bullfighting arenas. The exhausted, confused bulls fight for their lives as men on horses run them in circles while repeatedly piercing them with knives called banderillas, until the animals are dizzy, weakened from blood loss and suffering agonizing pain. The horses, who are blindfolded, can also suffer serious injuries if they can’t avoid a charg-
ing bull. The matador (Spanish for “killer�) comes in only when the exhausted bull is already near death. Bulls are often still conscious as their ears and tails are cut off as “trophies� and as they are dragged from the ring on chains. Tourists are what keep the fights alive and the bulls dying. Money spent to run with the bulls contributes to the bullfights, as do tickets purchased by curious tourists or those who simply go along with what’s included in their travel itinerary. By the time an appalled spectator rushes out of the arena in horror, the damage has been done and more bulls will endure a painful death. But condemnation of this bloody pastime is growing worldwide, and those few still clinging to this barbaric tradition are finding
themselves in nearly empty arenas. Spain’s Catalan Parliament overwhelmingly voted to ban bullfighting after officials were presented with the signatures of 180,000 people demanding an end to the carnage. Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona, is widely considered the birthplace of bullfighting. Dozens of other Spanish cities and towns have also declared their opposition to bullfighting, and 76 percent of Spaniards have no interest in attending or supporting bullfights, according to a 2009 Gallup survey. Portugal’s municipality of Viana do Castelo purchased the city’s only bullring and transformed it into a science and education center. A poll conducted by Mexico’s Green Party found that 84 percent of respondents believe that the cru-
elty of bullfighting is unnecessary. Even Alvaro Munera, a South American matador who was once known as “El Pilarico,� or the star bullfighter, now works to ban bullfighting. Munera, who suffered severe injuries after being gored by a bull and is confined to a wheelchair, says that he is haunted by the animals he killed — in particular, one “practice� cow whom he watched die (only to learn that she was carrying a calf) and a bull who fought to live after a sword pierced his body and came out the other side. Would those who participate in the running of the bulls still do so if they knew that the bulls are running toward their death? If there is any civility, decency and kindness left in a world that still kills animals for sport, let’s hope not.

Tweedy’s happy but fans may not be LEAH STOVER Daily Egyptian When Wilco is brought up in conversation, it’s never a surprise to hear someone say, “Cheer up, Jeff.� Since his debut in 1987 with the band Uncle Tupelo, Wilco frontman and Belleville native Jeff Tweedy has been known for his deeply passionate and somewhat depressing music. Even those who see the band’s live performances have never ceased to comment on how upset Tweedy looks as he strums his acoustic guitar and fights to finish the lyrics to memorable songs like ‘Reservations.’ Throughout the years the Chicago-based band’s vibe has transitioned from country-folk to what Rolling Stone considers indie-rock. Like 2009’s catchy ‘Wilco (the album),’ the band’s upcoming release ‘The Whole Love,’ seems to follow in its footsteps. ‘The Whole Love,’ set to release Sept. 27, was announced June 29 along with the fall tour dates via the band’s Facebook page. It was only a matter of minutes before the comment wall was drowned with praise from fans, and within hours tracks from the album were leaked on YouTube. Luckily, I was one of those who had the pleasure of listening to a few of them before they were yanked off the site and might I say, Jeff has cheered up just a little bit
but not in the most positive way. The single, “I Might,� was released to the public months ago and, as much as I hate to say it, is as catchy as anything released by today’s pop stars. The track “Open Your Mind� was quite different as it divulged Tweedy’s struggle with his lover, who he describes as a person who has trouble looking outside of the box. But with the lyrics “I can only dream of the dreams we’d share if you weren’t so defined, I would love to be the one to open up your mind,� it proves to be just another love song. I believe it’s only fair to say that as a long-time, die-hard Wilco fan, I myself was not impressed. My first exposure to the soft tone of Tweedy’s vocals can only be described as intense. As a child my mother was a music buff and never failed to keep me in the loop with upcoming artists, typically through various “Live from the Archives� albums. It was “ONXRT Live from the Archives Vol. 5� that held the track “Can’t Stand It,� a Riviera recording from May 1999, and a song that continues to be a personal favorite. It wasn’t until 10 years later, and dramatic musical transitions on Wilco’s part, when I truly understood the connection. That was when I experienced the band’s fourth album, 2002’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,� referred to as one of the most talked about albums of the year by Rolling Stone.
GEORGE LAMBOLEY | DAILY EGYPTIAN
Wilco’s lead singer Jeff Tweedy plays at the Beale Street Music Festival May 1 in Memphis, TN. Wilco is set to release their new album This, my friends, is what I consider to be Wilco’s expression phase, a time for Tweedy as a lyricist to express in song what he probably wasn’t able to in day-to-day life. The opening track, “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,� is what seems like a drunken stupor through an overly obsessive, reversed recap of a failed relationship and is a prime example of why Tweedy has earned the reputation as a sad, sad man. Others include “I Must Be
“The Whole Love� on September 27, though it was leaked online for a limited period of time June 29.
High,� the band’s first track on their 1995 debut, “A.M.,� and “A Shot in the Arm,� off of the band’s third album, 1999’s “Summerteeth.� Although tracks included melancholic lyrics such as “maybe all I need is a shot in the arm, something in my veins bloodier than blood,� and “you never looked in my eyes, long enough to find any piece of mind, but now you got it,� the early years were certainly Wilco’s best.
“Wilco (the album)� was clearly a happier time for Tweedy. The songs are experimental, upbeat and catchy, yet unfortunately push the band toward a style of music that is incomparable to what they once were. Some say Tweedy needs to “cheer up,� but in all honesty, it would be to the band’s benefit if he remained sad. In the long run, his sorrow filled lyrics make for greater music.

Alcohol is Daniel Radcliffe’s Voldemort DARCE OLUND Daily Egyptian Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe may enjoy butterbeer in the wizarding world, but in the real world he’s stopped drinking because of a battle with alcohol not unlike Potter’s battles with Draco Malfoy. Radcliffe’s confession to GQ magazine showed a great deal of courage, especially since he has become a famous actor over the past 10 years and maintained a clean public persona. The question is does his confession of a two-year stint
with alcohol harm his ‘good-boy’ reputation, and does his honesty make up for his frowned-upon behavior? The 22-year-old actor told the magazine he started drinking whiskey when he was 19 while working on the set of 2009’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” “I became so reliant on alcohol to enjoy stuff,” Radcliffe told the magazine. “There were a few years when I was just enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me.” The actor also told the magazine he feels as though he got away with
it because he was never caught drinking by the paparazzi, for which he was grateful. He said there were definitely times when pictures could have been taken. Both Radcliffe’s confession and his desire to stop show maturity. It’s also impressive that he took control of the publicity by revealing his addiction to the press before it turned into another celebrity scandal. Radcliffe said he has been a strict non-drinker since August 2010. “I’m actually enjoying the fact I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant,” Radcliffe said in the interview with the magazine. “As much as I would
love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully.” The maturity Radcliffe showed in his confession is similar to the transition in his career. The end of Harry Potter also marks the end of his childhood acting. While Radcliffe moves past his addiction, he also steps forward in his career toward more serious and adult roles. According to the Associated Press, Radcliffe said, “If I can make a name for myself after Potter, and it goes well and is varied and with longevity, then that puts to bed the
‘child actors argument.’” While Radcliffe’s alcohol problem is a shame, the courage and maturity he showed in revealing it is commendable. If anything, it’s refreshing to see that it’s possible for a rich and famous celeb to avoid another pathetic “E! True Hollywood Story” of falling from grace like we’ve seen with Lindsey Lohan ... or Charlie Sheen ... or Britney Spears ... or Amy Winehouse. Let’s hope Potter doesn’t relapse and lose some points for Gryffindor.

Fraternal twins with autism: Is risk in the womb?
CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press Most of the risk of autism has been blamed by experts on inherited genes. Now one of the largest studies of twins and autism shifts the focus to the womb, suggesting that the mother’s age and health may play a larger role than thought. The new research doesn’t solve the mystery of what causes autism. Most scientists think faulty genes and outside factors are both at work. And since autism spectrum disorders include a wide range of conditions, from mild to severe, it’s unlikely there’s a single cause for all of them.
Conditions during pregnancy may trigger autism where there’s a genetic vulnerability, said Dr. Gary Goldstein of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, who was not involved in the new research. The new twins study, published Monday by Archives of General Psychiatry, used rigorous methods to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, including direct observation of the children. Using California health records, it’s the largest study to do that and the first to consider a large sample of twins drawn from a general population, said lead author Dr. Joachim Hallmayer of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. The new study included 192 sets of
twins where at least one of the twins was affected with autism. Some of the twins were identical and some were non-identical, or fraternal, twins. The researchers used DNA testing to determine which twins were identical and which were fraternal. That was important because identical twins come from one fertilized egg and have identical genetic makeups. Fraternal twins, from two fertilized eggs, share no more genetic material than any other siblings. The new study found, as expected, high rates of shared autism disorders for identical twins: 77 percent of male twin pairs and 50 percent for female pairs had autism in both twins.
Surprisingly, it also found fairly high rates of fraternal twins both having autism spectrum disorders: 31 percent rate for male fraternal twins and 36 percent for female fraternal twins. Other studies have found 10 to 20 percent of younger siblings of children with autism are likely to be diagnosed themselves with the disorder. Fraternal twins share the same womb, even though they don’t share identical genes. That could be important, said Dr. John Constantino of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who wasn’t involved in the new research. Those factors could include stress, diet, infections, a mother’s age and
medications, experts said. The new study didn’t try to determine what factors increase risk. In another study published Monday in the same journal, researchers found a higher risk of autism among children born to mothers who took antidepressants during the year before birth, particularly in the first three months of pregnancy. It’s too early to advise pregnant women against antidepressants, however. Untreated depression also can be harmful to mother and baby, said lead author Lisa Croen of the Autism Research Program at Kaiser Permanente, a large health maintenance organization in California.
Quinn: Ready for court battle over canceled raises DEANNA BELLANDI Associated Press Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said Tuesday he was prepared to go to court against the unions to defend his decision to cancel pay raises for nearly 30,000 state workers and he repeatedly blamed lawmakers for leaving him no choice by not setting aside the money. “It’s very clear that the money wasn’t available for the raises and therefore there’s really nothing I could do to clear it up,” Quinn said after a Chicago press conference where he touted a $10 million
program to give teens and young people internships and jobs in state parks, park districts and nature centers. Quinn made the surprise announcement Friday that workers wouldn’t be getting the 2 percent increase they were expecting that day. The state’s largest employee union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said it had no idea Quinn was considering such action. The raises will save the state about $75 million as it continues to cope with a budget crisis. The state still faces a shortfall of at least
$6 billion and possibly more than $9 billion despite cutting costs and raising the state income tax. Quinn’s budget spokeswoman Kelly Kraft said the governor began thinking about cancelling the raises after lawmakers approved the budget on May 30. He did not tell workers they were losing the money until July 1. Quinn insisted he’s following the law because he can’t spend money the General Assembly doesn’t appropriate but AFSCME has condemned Quinn’s actions. Quinn wasn’t concerned about what could potentially be a long
and costly legal battle. “If they decide to sue that’s their right and we’ll be happy to meet them in court,” he said. While Quinn said repeatedly that lawmakers did not set aside money in the budget to pay the raises, that’s not entirely accurate. It’s true that lawmakers cut spending for salaries despite the scheduled raises. The Corrections Department, for instance, saw personnel money drop by 7 percent. But budgets don’t distinguish between regular salaries and raises; they simply give the governor a certain amount of money for
employees. The governor decides how to spend the money. House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spokesman said it’s up to Quinn’s administration and state agencies to decide how to spend the money lawmakers appropriate. “We don’t get involved in that level of detail,” Madigan spokesman Steve Brown said. Senate President John Cullerton’s spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon said Quinn’s decision to end the raises will be added “to the list of items in the current year’s budget that need to be addressed in the coming weeks and months.”

Enrollment peaked in 1991 with 24,869 students and has been in steady decline for the past two decades. Since 2005, around the same time the Saluki Way project was formulated, enrollment has dropped each year with a total loss of 1,404 students. This decrease has cost SIUC millions of dollars in tuition and fee revenue. Much of the Saluki Way project, including renovations made to the SIU basketball arena, was planned in 2005 — around the same time the men’s basketball team went to six straight NCAA tournaments from 2002 to 2007, he said. “For a school of our size (and budget), I don’t think people realized how historic that was. Those six years had never been equaled in the 100year history of the Missouri Valley Conference,” he said. “In a perfect world, you build facilities and you win national championships. It doesn’t work out like that.” The historic successes from both the men’s football and basketball teams were driving forces in the need for better facilities, he said. McAndrew Stadium was built in 1937, and the SIU Arena was built in 1964, which makes them two of the oldest facilities in the conference, he said. “You can’t win forever. We have won with substandard facilities … and for us to achieve historic winning … a lot of things were going right,” he said. “That just doesn’t happen, You’re winning in facilities that are just embarrassing.” In the 2010-2011 season, the men’s

added 7.4 points and 3.5 assists per game. They led Monroe to a 31-5 record last season and a third-place finish at the Division I national tournament, according to the Saluki athletic website. Aside from playing Xbox, Early said the team has 6 a.m. workouts and other various activities they must do to prepare. “We wake up at 5:30 a.m. and workout with the football players,” Early said. “We lift weights and have open gym at 4.30 p.m. and coaches are making sure our classes are right and we’re getting good grades.” Ron Smith, associate head coach
for the basketball team, said all 13 basketball players take summer school classes which take up a lot of time in their day, along with activities monitored by university staff. “They are in weight training and conditioning four days a week with our strength and conditioning coaches, and they are in study table everyday, these are all part of their regiment,” Smith said. He said players tend to coordinate on their own time and scrimmage three to four times per week. Smith said it’s typical to see players at the SIU Arena, Davies
Gym and the Recreation Center. “They do it at different places depending on what facilities are available,” Smith said. “Those are things the NCAA does not allow us to observe or participate in so it is strictly voluntary.” Senior guard Justin Bocot said he joins in with the team’s daily regime, but his individual goal is to gain weight for the upcoming season. “I think I am alright, but a little bit of weight will help going into next season,” Bocot said. Weighing in at 170 pounds, he said he will try and eat more throughout the day in order to reach his targeted
weight of 180 pounds by next season. Aside from physical training, Early said the team is in the midst of building emotional chemistry. With all of the new faces on the team, he said he looks to improve the program with the help of his junior college experience. “We are excited about the new group of people we brought in,” Early said. “(Lindsay and Early) won 60-plus games in junior college as teammates and we are coming to SIU to try to switch this program around and get them back in the winning tradition that they used to have.”

Hammering out SIUC Athletic spending on the fitness with Herman rise for five years LAUREN LEONE Daily Egyptian SIUC increased its athletic spending by more than 120 percent in the last five years, according to an article published by the Chronicle of Higher Education. SIUC is ranked third among institutions in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, behind Winston-Salem State University and University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, according to the article, which was published June 26. SIUC's athletics department spent roughly $10.5 million in 2005 and more than $23 million in 2010, according to the article. Much of the increase is because of SIUC’s Saluki Way project, said Mario Moccia, director of intercollegiate athletics. Ticket sales, NCAA/conference distributions, guarantee games and cash contributions generate 29 percent of revenue for institutions within the mid-major subdivision, in which SIUC is included, according to the Chronicle. The other 71 percent is allocated from direct or indirect institutional support and student fees. Ticket sales generated more than $1.7 million in 2010 for the athletics department and athletic student fees generated more than $9 million, according to information provided by the athletics department. The SIU Board of Trustees approved the increase in athletic student fees in 2006 to help fund the project, he said. Student fees covered more than half of the $76 million for Saluki Way construction such as the new football stadium, renovations made to the SIU Arena, a new track and
field complex, renovation and new additions of academic buildings, an academic-services building for athletes and a remodeled Morris Library, he said. The city of Carbondale also imposed a half-percent sales tax increase, raising $1 million dollars per year for 20 years to go toward the project, and the athletics department raised $10 million in private donations, he said. Tenured and non-tenured faculty, civil servants and graduate assistants gathered July 1 on campus to criticize the university’s spending habits. Natasha Zaretesky, of the SIUC Labor Coalition, said more money goes toward building projects and the athletic department than toward academic programs and faculty salaries. “Whether individuals like it or not, those three main sources were designated for this purpose,â€? Moccia said. The new football stadium was being constructed when SIUC began its 2011 fiscal year with a $13 million deficit. Mark Scally, chief financial officer and associate director of intercollegiate athletics, said the university experienced a very different budget environment when plans for the Saluki Way Project were originally made in 2005. “I don’t think that it’s fair to compare this project to the state budget deficit. ‌ I don’t think those are directly linked in any way,â€? Scally said. “I don’t think that you could use Saluki Way’s priorities, which includes some classroom buildings, and say, ‘Hey, if we hadn’t done this, this deficit wouldn’t be here.'â€?

Herman Louw instructs his Saluki Sculpt class Tuesday at the Recreation Center. The class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon and is designed to sculpt and CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian As he paces back and forth and closely watches the class, fitness instructor Herman Louw is kicking southern Illinois in to shape. “I’m going to push you and show you that you can do anything you put your mind to,� Louw said. “It might seem impossible, but with the right tools, you can do it.� Putting mind over matter is Louw’s training philosophy to a healthy lifestyle. A South African native, Louw is an SIU alumni and former All-American athlete on the SIU swim team. As an instructor and personal trainer, he said he has found what he loves to do. Settled into his career, Louw said he is now able to work towards his ultimate goal in life, which is to change people’s lives for the better and give them a healthy dose of fitness. While he still gives individual attention to every person in his class, Louw said he prefers to do fitness training in groups because people tend to help motivate one another, which creates a less intimidating environment. “It’s all about encouragement,� Louw said. “That’s what brings people back.� In 1996, Louw came to the United States to swim. Prior to SIU, he received his associate degree from a junior college in Fort Pierce, Fla.,
strengthen major muscle groups. “Some of us call him the ‘Herminator,’ but really he’s a pussycat,� Cheryl Martin, a member of the class, said of Louw.
while he competed on its swim team. After two years in Florida, Louw came to SIU on an athletic scholarship to swim. He finished as a decorated athlete with All-Conference and AllAmerican honors with his name on the Dean’s list. He went on to graduate school at SIUE where he received his Master of Science in Kinesiology in 2007. Once Louw received his degree in Edwardsville, he worked for St. Louis University as a strength and conditioning coach for its swim team and has been involved in fitness since. Louw returned to SIUC and worked for the fitness department at the Recreation Center from 2007 to 2009 but went to the University of Missouri when he was offered the position as Fitness Coordinator. He said he enjoyed his time in Columbia but wanted to come back to Carbondale to continue as a fitness instructor and personal trainer. Now that Louw is back in southern Illinois, Carbondale native Cheryl Martin said his loyal followers couldn’t be happier. “He was away for a while and we all missed him,� Martin said. “I was in line when his class opened, that's no exaggeration.� Martin said she used to lift weights on her own, but likes to come to his classes because he keeps the activities mixed up, which creates a challenging workout. While Martin said Louw has
followers for his fitness classes, Lynne Thompson-Cundiff, the Assistant Director of Fitness at the Recreation Center, said loyalty is a common theme throughout the fitness instructor staff.
