Preston Greff, of Marion, performs a trick off a half-pipe Monday at Cannon Park in Carterville. Greff and his friends agreed this is one of the area’s better skate parks. “We don’t have a lot of options when looking for a place to skate,” Greff said. “Maybe they’ll open up a park again in Carbondale some day.”
Trustees approve interim candidate KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ University trustees met for a brief special session Tuesday to approve several housekeeping issues, including the appointment of an interim general counsel. The SIU Board of Trustees unanimously approved Lucas Crater, who serves as associate general counsel for healthcare and compliance at the
university’s Springfield campus, as interim general counsel during Tuesday’s seven-minute session. The board also added a meeting date to its 2013 calendar since its regularly scheduled Feb. 28 meeting was canceled. University president Glenn Poshard said Crater worked in the general counsel office since May 2005, when he began as a law clerk while attending the university’s law school. Crater was hired as an
assistant general counsel in August 2006 after he graduated, and he was promoted to his Springfield position January 2008, Poshard said. “Luke’s broad familiarity with the university, including the medical school, make him the strongest candidate for interim general counsel,” he said. Poshard said Crater would split his time between Springfield and Carbondale. According to the board’s trustee-approved agenda,
Crater’s salary will be $145,000 per fiscal year, or $12,083.34 monthly. However, Poshard said it typically takes six months or less to find a permanent general counsel. Upon Crater’s board approval, Board Chair Pro Tempore Roger Herrin congratulated him. “Welcome aboard,” he said. “I’ve got a feeling you’ve got your hands full.” Herrin’s statement reflects the unrest the board has experienced since Feb.
25, when Gov. Pat Quinn appointed Lee Milner, of Springfield; Melvin Terrell, of Chicago; and Sandra Cook, of Collinsville; to take over for ousted members Ed Hightower, John Simmons and Mark Hinrichs. However, the three new members were SIUC graduates, which meant the board would have no SIUE representatives beyond David Hamilton, SIUE’s student trustee. Please see TRUSTEES | 3

Alternate Spring Break 2013 will take students to one of four locations, where they will volunteer their time through service learning. This year, participants will travel to
New Orleans to volunteer at food pantries and shelters; to Knoxville, Tenn., to assist veterans with disabilities; to Nashville, Tenn., to work at a zoo and learn about ecology; or to Memphis, Tenn., to work with organic gardens and provide food to those who live in poverty. The trip runs March 9-16 and provides students more than 1,200 possible service hours. Jason Gillman, student health services
assistant director and Alternate Spring Break staff adviser, said the program is a way students can enjoy their break while performing service events on a drug- and alcohol- free trip. While other departments such as Residential Life have offered the program in past years, this year’s Wellness Center-sponsored version will offer a specific theme to “think globally, act locally,” he said.
“This one is a specific model that’s designed to help students move across the continuum of citizenship and also is built around certain aspects of the trip like reflection and working together,” he said. Gillman said students who take the trips can benefit just as much as the people they help.

“It’s an opportunity to give back to the community,� he said. “(Students) get a sense of community amongst the other members who are going with them. They meet new people and make new friends, and they also start to consider the world we live in whether it’s hunger and homelessness or ecology over sustainable food.� Jo Ann Howd, program coordinator and graduate student in education from La Harpe, said she began to map this year’s Alternate Spring Break locations and activities almost a year ago, and much diligence went into the planning. “We wanted to find places that weren’t too far away from Carbondale, cities that needed service work in their area but also places that would be fun destinations,� she said. Howd said she wanted enjoyable destinations because exploration is just as important for students as the work they provide. Though student numbers are limited as about 35 students will participate between the four locations, she said, students can still make a difference and accomplish much during the break. “The groups range from anywhere from 10 people to 14 people all together, so they’re

The Illinois Senate unanimously rejected the governor’s appointments Wednesday, and Milner and Terrell had to leave executive session because they were not technically trustees. Herrin had to adjourn the meeting because not enough members were present to hold it. During the press conference that followed, the board argued over the senate’s rejections as well as accusations that Herrin played a role in the
going to be working on different venues,� she said. “That’s a lot of volunteers to be working for an entire week.� Beyond providing community service outside Carbondale, University Spokesman Rod Sievers said the trip will benefit the volunteers and spread a positive university student image. “We all know how our students are eager to get out and do new things, get out and work and explore new ideas and new events, and this gives students an opportunity to do that.� Howd said she believes the trip helps offer students a rare chance to travel to new places and assist other communities. “It’s a lot different from the traditional spring break where you’re not really doing anything over your spring break,� she said.� (It gives) students a chance to get out, see some different issues that are going on in communities not far from them, and then act on that,� she said. Gillman said Alternate Spring Break is important to community building and hopes to see it expand. “Not only is it important (to students), but it’s also one of the things that SIU can continue to do and grow and be part of the community it serves and build upon that service learning aspect,� he said.
trustee changes. Illinois lawmakers also submitted several bills recently that would affect how the BOT functions. State Rep. Jay Hoffman, D-Collinsville, introduced a bill Feb. 26 that would split the Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses and form two separate boards. State Sen. Bill Haine, D-Alton, introduced a bill Feb. 28 that would force the board to be composed of three alumni from each university. Because the board was unable to meet Feb. 28, the board unanimously voted during Tuesday’s meeting to hold its next meeting Apr. 3.

Jeremiah Hintz, of Murphysboro, starts a 1978 Chevy Nova in a private mechanic shop Monday in Murphysboro. Hintz has worked on cars at the shop with his friends for about three months and said it’s a great get away. “It’s like we have our own little man cave here,� he said. “We can just come in and work on cars and relax.�
Hintz and his friends provide their own tools when they work in the shop, and they can service up to four cars at once. They work on small projects such as repairs on their vehicles to large restorations such as the 1978 Chevy Nova. LYNNETTE OOSTMEYER DAILY EGYPTIAN

Sophomore thrower Bradley Sauer drags three hammers back to the throwing circle Tuesday at the Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex. Sauer has only thrown since he began his SIU career. “They don’t have weight throw in high school, so I just started last year,� he said. “I threw shot put in high school, and I wasn’t very good at it.�

All-American and teammate J.C. Lambert was the last man to qualify for weight throw nationals. Lambert was the NCAA Runner-Up in the weight throw and missed the national title by less than three inches. Lambert, a senior from Harrisburg, said he met Sauer when Sauer was a freshman in high school and he was a senior. He said the two wrestled against each other at nearby schools. “That was the first time I ever had any encounter with him,� Lambert said. “A
couple years later I met him at a track and field camp at SIU, and coach (John Smith) saw him and we were talking about him. That’s when coach became very interested.� Lambert said Sauer took no time to establish his presence as a track and field team member. “He came here and in his freshman year, he broke the school record I previously held by two feet,� Lambert said. “He broke the hammer record as well and ever since then, it was like ‘This guy is going to be good.’� Throws coach John Smith said Sauer is light on his feet despite his
stature, which sets him apart from other throwers. “Usually when you get a big guy like that, he has a hard time turning and he has a hard time standing in the ring, but he’s really built well for throwing.� Smith said. Smith said he classifies throwers in three categories. “You have tractors, monster trucks, and Ferraris,� Smith said. “Brad’s a tractor. He will run you the hell over.� Terrance Peacock can be reached at tpeacock@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 269.

Saluki thrower earns bid to nationals TERRANCE PEACOCK Daily Egyptian
JON-ERIK BRADFORD | DAILY EGYPTIAN
Sophomore thrower Bradley Sauer practices the weight throw Tuesday at the Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex. Sauer was the only Saluki to qualify for the NCAA Indoor National Championships scheduled Mar. 8 and 9 in Fayetteville, Ark.,. As a Murphysboro native, Sauer said he has always had a solid support channel. “It means a lot to have the same group of friends and family to support me and cheer me on at events.”
One Saluki athlete will have the opportunity to add an impressive piece of hardware to SIU’s trophy case — a national championship. Bradley Sauer, a sophomore Saluki track and field thrower, has officially qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships. The Murphysboro native ranks 12th in the nation in the weight throw, and he is the only Saluki to earn a spot at the national meet. The top -16 athletes in each event qualify for the indoor championships. Sauer’s qualifying 21.17-meter throw came during the Feb. 15 Eastern Illinois University Friday Night Special, where he took one of his five 2013 weight throw titles. The 6-foot-7, 320 pound sophomore was named All-Missouri Valley Conference for this year’s indoor season and took second in the Feb. 23-25 MVC Indoor Championships weight throw competition. Sauer said one reason he attended the university was the Saluki throwers’ success that came before him, which pushed him to perform better. “We’ve been one of the top programs in the nation every year, and we’ve had great throwers come through,” he said. “I just want to keep that going.” A three-sport athlete in high school, Sauer placed AllState in track and wrestling and was a two-time football all-conference selection. Sauer placed eighth in the state his senior year in track and said his high school throwing coach was the person who introduced him to the sport. “He started me off in seventh grade,” he said. “If he didn’t motivate me to start throwing, I probably would never be here.” Sauer has improved his personal best in the weight throw by more than four feet between his freshman and sophomore campaigns.

Teams look for upsets in weekend tournament TOURNAMENT PREDICTIONS
!"# !$% &' ($)"*+#,-.$/*0"$%%1!2,$)"
After an exciting and contentious regular season, the Missouri Valley conference will hold its championship tournament Thursday in St. Louis. The MVC has had four different champions in the last six seasons, and Northern Iowa is the last team to repeat
in 2008-09 and 2009-10. The No. 8 seed Bradley Braves will face the No. 9 Drake Bulldogs in the first tournament game Thursday. Drake might have one of the conference’s most balanced rosters, but Bradley possesses MVC Defensive Player of the Year senior guard Dyricus Simms-Edwards. Along with fellow Bradley backcourt member junior guard Walt Lemon, Jr., the Braves’ perimeter defense will provide too large a challenge for the Bulldogs. The No. 10 Salukis will battle the No. 7 Missouri State Bears in Thursday’s second game. SIU, winner of four of its last six contests, has been one the hottest teams in the conference since their Feb. 2 64-62 win over Wichita State. MSU lost three of its last five games, including a Feb. 27 85-50 Illinois State drubbing. Although Bears’ freshman guard
Game 1 - 6:05 p.m. Thursday
Marcus Marshall is a solid scorer with great potential, SIU’s senior leadership will propel the Salukis to a win. Top-seeded Creighton will square off against Bradley during Friday’s first tournament game, but the Braves will be unable to account for All-Conference junior forward Doug McDermott and the Jays’ offensive presence. The second Friday game puts No. 4 Evansville against No. 5 Indiana State. INS is one team projected to be on the cusp of a NCAA tournament bid, so the team needs a great tournament run to increase its chances of receiving a bid. The Aces’ All-Conference guard Colt Ryan will lead Evansville’s offensive attack, but fellow All-Conference member guard Jake Odum of Indiana State has more help on both ends of the floor.
The No. 2 Wichita State Shockers will face the Salukis in Friday’s third tipoff. Both games between the two teams were close this year with each team claiming a win. Creighton crushed the Shockers in their last game, so they will be focused early in the tournament. Saluki head coach Barry Hinson will ensure his team exerts its best effort, but WSU’s talent will outmatch Southern Illinois. Friday’s final game will be a rematch between No. 3 Northern Iowa and No. 6 Illinois State. UNI has played well against conference opponents this season, but second team AllConference senior guard Anthony James is recovering from a leg injury. Even if he was completely healthy, the Redbirds have elite post and perimeter talent in seniors Troy Brown and Jackie Carmichael. ISU will get its revenge. Creighton is paired against Indiana
State for the first game of Saturday’s semi-finals, but the Sycamores’ reserves will not be enough to defeat a talented Jays squad. The battle of the state teams puts Illinois State against Wichita State in the second semi-final game Saturday. Despite WSU’s combination of length, size, speed and scoring, the Redbirds will defeat them on timely shooting and high-percentage shots from senior power forward Jackie Carmichael. Sunday’s championship game will come down to Creighton and Illinois State. The Redbirds’ difficult journey through the MVC tournament will better prepare them for a tight championship, and Creighton usually struggles in games where McDermott doesn’t perform well. Unless he has another 41-point MVC game, Carmichael and Brown will push ISU past the Jays.
