Safe Zone Training a valuable student resource SETH RICHARDSON Daily Egyptian As the school year begins, members of the SIU community will engage in a crash course geared toward Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer lifestyle awareness. The Safe Zone Training Program, led by the university’s LGBTQ Resource Center, takes place today through Friday as part of the school’s Week of Welcome. LGBTQ coordinator Wendy Weinhold said the center aims to create an inviting atmosphere to students of all sexual orientations. “The Safe Zone Program is a program that educates people who are interested in being

allies in the LGBTQ communities,” Weinhold said. “It is an opportunity to explore some of the issues and concerns regarding safety and identity for LGBTQ peoples.” Despite the name, Safe Zones aren’t actually areas. “The idea of a Safe Zone is not about making spaces … because there’s no such thing as a safe space,” Weinhold said. “People are safe zones; spaces aren’t, because people can be responsible for their actions.” The program has been a staple of the Week of Welcome for several years. It consists of a 60-minute training session tailored to the heterosexual community that engages in discussion, role-playing and education about

resources to the LGBTQ community, she said. Topics covered include coming out, respecting gender identity, terminology and ways to help LGBTQ people, Weinhold said. Sarah Self, an LGBTQ Resource Center graduate assistant, said the program has been viewed as a success. “It has improved tremendously over my time here,” she said. “I’ve been here since December 2010 and we have increased our numbers from approximately 200 to about 1000 participants.” Weinhold said the program is not a rote series of repeatable steps. Each session is customized for the particular group partaking in the course. The process has an added benefit

of making a difficult issue more relatable to the community attending the event, she said. Interim Dean of Students Katie Sermershein agreed that the program was critical to the campus. “We want students coming in to our university community to respect the environment in which they are coming in to,” Sermershein said. “Everyone should be allowed to be the individual that they are and that they choose to be.” Nearly 200 Recreation Center student staff members participated in a training course Friday.

University debt rating lowered MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian A rating downgrade could deal Southern Illinois University additional stress when it comes to loan approvals, adding to financial burdens already coming from the state. Moody’s Investors Service, an international credit agency, lowered the university’s debt rating from an A2 negative to an A3 negative Aug. 9, furthering the agency’s downgrade of the university’s overall credit rating for the last several years. While SIU’s rating was lowered, university President Glenn Poshard said SIU’s rating is on par or better than that of most state universities. Poshard said the main reason for the debt downgrade is because of Illinois’ financial problems; the state still owes the university millions in appropriations, he said. “The report states, most explicitly, that it’s due to the state’s downgrade that took place a couple of months ago,” he said. “All public universities are heavily reliant on the state (for) appropriations.” Poshard said when the state’s debt rating was lowered several months ago, officials were informed that SIU’s rating would be affected, so the decrease was expected. While the university’s rating has lowered, it shares the same rating as the University of Illinois, tying it for the highest rating in the state, he said. All state universities in Illinois had their debt rating downgraded in the latest

Moody’s report, except Northern Illinois University, which was downgraded six months ago, according to Moody’s website data. Poshard said the rating would affect the university’s plans to borrow $30 million from the bond market to improve campus infrastructure this fall. The new debt rating will increase loan interest rates, he said. While the university’s rating was lowered, there’s still hope for future recovery, Poshard said. “It is entirely possible for our rating to improve, but it will depend on the economy of the state,” he said. “When it turns its own situation around, that will be the primary factor.” Matt Daray can be reached at mdaray@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 254.

Dr. Wendy Weinhold conducts Safe Zone Training Friday for Recreation Center student employees. Weinhold said the training she conducts was developed by Jessica Pettitt, a nationally known diversity educator. “Today, 180 people participated in the Safe Zone Training,” Weinhold said.

SAFE ZONE CONTINUED FROM

“I thought it was a good eye-opener on how to handle certain situations,” said John Schiller, a senior from Wood Dale studying civil engineering. “I believe it will be beneficial to the employees here at the (Student Recreation Center).” Molly Gable, a junior from Carbondale studying outdoor recreation, agreed with Schiller. “(Weinhold) was very informational and educational in the way she taught the class and had everybody involved,” Gable said. Both students said they recommended the course.

Safe Zone Training will take place during the Week of Welcome from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday and Thursday in Grinnell Hall, from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in Lentz Hall, and from noon to 1 p.m. Friday in Lentz Hall.

‘Kick-Ass 2’ loses original’s action jolt KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER Daily Egyptian

It’s been three years since Matthew Vaughn’s “Kick-Ass” hit theaters and took audiences by surprise by introducing heroes with no powers. All of the main characters were simply wellversed in hand-to-hand combat. HitGirl, played by a young Chloe Grace Moretz, was hyper-violent and swore like a sailor. Nicolas Cage played her father, Big Daddy, and together the two drove the stylish, smart original film. But times have changed. And the team is gone; Big Daddy failed to make it out of the original alive. Hit-Girl is now in the custody of one of her father’s old friends, who has forced her to begin attending school like a normal teenager. Meanwhile, Kick-Ass (Aaron TaylorJohnson), who teamed up with Hit-Girl

and Big Daddy to take down mobster Frank D’Amico in the original, has to look for another group to join. He meets Colonel Stars and Stripes, a reformed mobster who now walks the streets taking down traffickers. But D’Amico’s son Chris has also decided to put on a costume and seek revenge for his father’s death. He takes up a moniker, one I can’t repeat in this newspaper, and begins to hunt down everything Kick-Ass cares about. I’m a pretty big fan of the original. Moretz had guts to play Hit-Girl, and Vaughn upped the ante every scene she was in. She gave one of the most memorable action performances of the last decade. But now that the audience knows what to expect, the writers of “Kick-Ass 2” no longer have the element of surprise on their side. “Kick-Ass 2” flounders creatively; the plot is tired, and relegating Hit-Girl to a high school “Mean Girls”-esque sideplot doesn’t help matters. Moretz doesn’t

get to shine like she should be able to. It is refreshing that she defends herself and doesn’t require Kick-Ass’ help; in fact, she saves him a couple of times. Cage is sorely missing here — Jim Carrey, as Stripes, tries to fill in, but Cage’s shoes are simply too large. As Chris, Christopher Mintz-Plasse steps up to the plate and delivers a truly psycho performance. He’s a super-villain without a clue, reliant on the thugs he pays to be his posse. He gets the two most memorable moments here. Because the element of surprise is gone, the action seems rote now; the gunfire doesn’t pack the same punch. Even so, “Kick-Ass 2” is much better than it has any right to be, and fans of the original will enjoy this one. Just next time let’s not force Hit-Girl to the background, eh, guys?

‘Butler’ helps Oscar season to strong start KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER Daily Egyptian

PROVIDED PHOTO

If there was any question as to whether or not Oscar season has kicked in, “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” gives a definitive answer. “Butler” is more of a civil-rights sliceof-life film than a strict narrative, and the plot is simple enough: Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) grew up on a cotton plantation during the 1920s. After a tragic turn of events concerning his father, Gaines began to work inside his employer’s home. Eventually Gaines is able to parlay his experience into a job at a swanky hotel in Washington, D.C. and, finally, to a prestigious post serving in the White House. We follow Cecil as he works under presidents beginning with Eisenhower and ending with Reagan. The film examines the civil rights movement during Cecil’s years of service; we see him react to the death of Martin Luther King Jr., as well as

John F. Kennedy. Gaines’ son Louis works with leaders such as King and becomes involved with the Black Panthers, and the film shows the discord between Louis and Cecil as to how the two men feel the government is dealing with racism and segregation. Because the film is presented on such an epic scale, rather than as an intimate portrait of a man in an extraordinary position, sometimes emotion and sentiment cloud what is otherwise a fresh take on the civil-rights biopic. “The Butler” doesn’t really take us anywhere we haven’t been, except for the fleeting scenes inside the Oval Office as the presidents ruminate on national events; instead, it chooses to look at well-known civil-rights events from a different perspective. For the most part, it works, but I have this nagging suspicion that if the script were a bit tighter this could have been better. The film does take a more searing look at racism than “42,” the Jackie Robinson film released earlier this year, and “The Help,” which was a hit two years ago. Daniels captures the brutality of hate groups in the segregated south, or at least

as much as he can with a PG-13 rating. And it’s hard watching Cecil and his wife, played by Oprah Winfrey, as they try to cope with the knowledge that any moment Louis could become a victim as he attends college in Tennessee. Back in Washington, the parade of actors portraying presidents is hit-andmiss. Robin Williams is an odd choice for Eisenhower, but James Marsden slips into JFK well, at least for the few scenes he has before his assassination. Liev Schreiber is okay as LBJ, John Cusack is totally out of place as Nixon and Alan Rickman actually disappears into Reagan quite well. Marsden probably wins best in show, but none of the presidents get any serious screen time. Whitaker is the true star here, and he has plenty of opportunities to shine. Although the film plods a little bit, especially as it winds down, Whitaker never drops the ball. His performance alone makes the movie worth seeing.

MARYCLARE DALE

PH I L A D E L PH I A — No one may ever know Barbara Mancini’s intentions when she allegedly handed her dying 93-year-old father a bottle of morphine at his central Pennsylvania home. Did she want to relieve his pain? Help him end his life? Both? Joe Yourshaw died four days later at a hospital. That was after a hospice nurse making a call to check on Yourshaw arrived at the home a short time later and called 911, despite a “Do Not Resuscitate” order. In the interim, Yourshaw was given a drug antidote, awoke agitated over his hospitalization, and became upset when told his daughter might be in trouble, according to Mancini’s supporters. “Don't hurt Barbara,” he cried, according to Compassion & Choices, a Denver-based group that supports “death with dignity” laws and has advocated for Mancini since her arrest in June. A trim, silver-haired hospital nurse from Philadelphia, she is just the latest person caught in the crosshairs of the nation's assistedsuicide debate.

While Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont allow at least some types of assisted suicide, and another half-dozen states have considered it, most states ban the practice, and a small number of people are prosecuted in the U.S. each year. “She told me that her father wanted to die and she gave him the morphine,” Pottsville Police Capt. Steve Durkin testified at Mancini’s preliminary hearing this month, when a judge in Schuylkill County upheld the assisted suicide charge. Mancini, a 57-year-old wife, mother and daughter is now heading for trial, while supporters attack state Attorney General Kathleen Kane for pursuing the case. Yourshaw suffered from end-stage diabetes and heart problems before he died in February. “This chilling precedent could impact tens of millions of baby boomers caring for their aging and dying parents,” Compassion & Choices said in a news release. If her case plays out like most, a judge or jury will sympathize with Mancini, and she will get probation or community service, according to medical ethicist Art Caplan. “Very few of them turn out to be anything other than motivated

by love or concern, or mercy. But a few do,” said Caplan, who therefore believes that authorities need to review such deaths for potential abuses. “They're checking to ... establish what really happened. Was it really because that's what her dad wanted, or was she just tired of visiting?” he said. In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court said patients who are dying and in pain have the legal right to get prescribed medications “to alleviate that suffering, even to the point of causing unconsciousness and hastening death.” Some recent prosecutions around the issue include that of an elderly Connecticut man who told police he had cleaned a gun for his dying friend, and left it within reach before the friend killed himself. He received probation. Barbara Coombs Lee, the president of Compassion & Choices, called Mancini’s case “much more ambiguous and benign.” “Even if the law and facts were crystal clear in this case — and they’re not — juries engage in jury nullification. Or, the prosecutors could have their own internal guidelines, their own determinations about malice,” she said.

LONDON — Britain’s Prince Harry has returned from Angola, where he visited a landmine clearance charity championed by his late mother, Princess Diana. The HALO Trust charity said Saturday the 28-year-old prince visited the Angolan town of Cuito Cuanavale, which saw heavy fighting during the southern African nation’s 1975-2002 civil war. The group said Harry toured minefields and met beneficiaries of the group’s work.

LONDON — British police say they are examining newly received information relating to the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, and that officers are assessing the information’s “relevance and credibility.” Scotland Yard declined to provide details about the information, only saying Saturday in a statement that the assessment will be carried out by officers from its specialist crime and

Harry was following in the footsteps of Diana, who visited minefields in Angola in 1997 and drew global attention to the charity's efforts to clear them. Kensington Palace said in a statement that Harry was pleased to see the progress HALO had made and that he was keen to continue supporting its work. The prince visited minefields with HALO in Mozambique in 2010. The group said that it began clearing mines in Cuito Cuanavale about three years after the end of Angola's civil war, and that it has so far located and destroyed more than 21,300 mines.

operations unit. The force stressed that it was not reopening the investigation into the 1997 deaths of Diana and Fayed, who were killed in a car crash in Paris. In 2008, a British jury ruled that Diana, the Princess of Wales, and her companion, Fayed, were unlawfully killed due to reckless speed and drinking by their driver, and by the reckless pursuit of paparazzi chasing them.

No Swan song for SIU Cubs fall to Cardinals 6-1 MATT CARLSON Associated Press

The Chicago Cubs have struggled most of this season and are in last place in the NL Central. Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright added to their frustration on Sunday. Wainwright struck out 11 and allowed one run through seven innings, and Jon Jay drove in four runs with a homer and double to lead St. Louis to a 6-1 win over Chicago. St. Louis relievers Kevin Siegrist and Trevor Rosenthal combined to pitch a scoreless eighth and ninth against the Cubs, who have scored just 12 runs in their past eight home games and have been shut out five times in those contests. Junior Lake drove in the Cubs’ run with a double in the sixth. “He’s just Adam Wainwright,” Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “Nothing overpowering. He just knows how to pitch.” Matt Carpenter singled in two runs in the third to help back Wainwright (14-7), who

shot 44 percent from the field, a 15-percent improvement from his freshman season. Swan seemed to shine in bright spots as he shot 51 percent in Missouri Valley Conference play. In the Dec. 15 game against University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Swan made a diving attempt for the ball in the final seconds, scoring to give SIU the 72-70 win. SIU head coach Barry Hinson said Swan’s presence will be missed this year. “We were really counting on Josh for this season, based upon his improvement last year. He was the epitome of a guy doing more than you expect,” Hinson said in an official SIU statement.

“It’s a bittersweet thing, because we’ve enjoyed it so much,” Carol Rushing said. “It definitely is a blessing to be able to still be a part of watching them play golf and watching them mature.” They decided SIU was the best fit after considering Louisville and Indiana State. Family was a word that resonated with the sisters when describing why they came to SIU. “For me personally, I wanted to be closer to home,” Ashleigh Rushing said. “I’m a big family person.” Ashleigh Rushing said despite getting offers from other schools, she knew it would work out if they were meant to be together. “I think because we both prayed about it a lot and we’re like, if we were meant to be separated, then it’s the way it was supposed to be,” Ashleigh Rushing said. Being from Marion, most of the twins’ family is close by. Cassie Rushing said it’s still nice being close to their grandparents. “When we told my grandma, she cried because she was so happy,” Cassie Rushing said. “She didn’t express it to us that she didn’t want us to go away, but she was so happy that we were going to stay here for another four years.” Former women’s golf head coach Diane Daugherty recruited the girls to SIU, but left

was in command and allowed just five hits and one walk after going 0-2 in his previous four starts. “It’s as good as he’s been all season,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “He came out in the first and established all his pitches, had great life. “His curveball was as sharp as we’ve seen it. That made the difference, it set the tone.” Wainwright hadn’t won since July 21 at home against San Diego and had allowed 14 runs in 28 innings during the span. On Sunday, he faced only one batter over the minimum through the first five innings and only 26 through seven innings. He also beat the Cubs for the first time since April 13, 2012, a span of six starts. “I just went out there in attack mode,” Wainwright said, “went out there with the right philosophy in understanding of who I was as a pitcher and just made pitches.” One of Wainwright’s strikeouts led to Cubs manager Dale Sveum and reliever James Russell being ejected from the game in the bottom of the seventh.

after their freshman year. Alexis Mihelich was named the new head coach in August of 2011. “It shocked me, I guess. I figured (Daughterty) would retire before I graduated but I didn’t figure it would be after one year,” Ashleigh Rushing said. “I definitely cried after she told us. We were all crying.” “They’ve always worked hard,” Mihelich said. “They’re already named co-captains; hopefully they can shape and mold the younger players.” Neither of the sisters had the words to describe their feelings going into their senior season. “It still hasn’t really sunk in yet,” Cassie Rushing said. “It still feels like I should be in orientation.” Cassie Rushing is getting married next year to Tom Brooke. Brooke works at Hickory Ridge Golf Course, the Saluki women’s home course. Cassie Rushing said if she moves away, she’ll miss her practice partner but she’ll still be able to play golf with her fiancé. She added that she is able to beat him in golf. After graduating from SIU Cassie Rushing hopes to continue playing golf at a competitive level, while Ashleigh hopes to become a kindergarten teacher.

Senior golfers Ashleigh Rushing, left, and Cassie Rushing, right, gear up for their final season as teammates on the Saluki women’s golf team. “The last three to four years have gone by super fast,” Ashleigh Rushing said, “It’s kind of settling in that this is the last year for both of us to have a chance to win conference as a team.”

Many athletes don’t get the opportunity to be on a team with their best friend or sibling throughout high school and college. The Rushing twins have gotten the chance to do both. Ashleigh and Cassie Rushing are seniors at SIU and have been on the same golf team since their days at Marion High School. Cassie Rushing, a sports administration major, has won many accolades during her time as a Saluki. She is a three-time Missouri Valley Conference AllConference selection as well as a First-Team ScholarAthlete selection her junior year. This past summer, she was named a Women’s Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar. Ashleigh Rushing, an elementary education major, still holds the 9-hole record at Marion High School with a score of 30. She also led the Salukis in three tournaments during the 2012-2013 season and shot 15 rounds in the 70s. Mary Thomason, the twins’ coach at Marion High School, said she loved the girls from the beginning. “They’re all around great girls,” Thomason said. “As far as their skills, they only got better.” The twins were born at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Doctors thought they were conjoined because they were in the same amniotic sac. Ashleigh Rushing jokes that she and her sister were close from the very beginning. Their two younger siblings, Mitchell and Haley, 16, are also twins. The girls started playing golf when they were seven years old with their parents, the twins said. “Growing up, it was kind of a family thing,” Cassie Rushing said. “I honestly don’t really know why I got interested in golf. I wanted to go spend time with (our parents) when I was like six . . . and I just fell in love with it.” The sisters’ parents, Darron and Carol Rushing, are successful golfers in their own right. Darron Rushing was the player of the year in 2011 at Lake of Egypt Country Club. Their father also won the Men’s Club Match Play Championship in 2002 and 2003. Since 2006, one of the Lake of Egypt women’s golf tournaments has belonged to the Rushing family. Ashleigh Rushing won in 2006 and 2007, Carol Rushing took home the honor in 2008 and Cassie Rushing has won it every year since. Please see GOLF | 11

The 2013 NFL Schedule will open Sept. 5 with the defending champion Baltimore Ravens traveling to Denver to take on the Broncos. The offseason was filled with coaching changes and star players switching teams. Which team do you feel has the edge to make it to Super Bowl XLVIII and win? Terrance: Last year the Seattle Seahawks surprised everyone with their 11-5 record and second-place finish in the NFC West. Seattle also won their playoff matchup against the Washington Redskins before losing a heartbreaker in the divisional round against the Atlanta Falcons. The Seahawks won’t sneak up on anyone this year, but with a top-five defense and an emerging offense led by second-year quarterback Russell Wilson, look for the Seahawks to build on last season’s success and reach the big game.

Tyler: There are a lot of teams that can make some noise in the upcoming season. I think the Broncos will have an edge because they were pretty close last year. They added a good piece in Wes Welker, but if outside linebacker Von Miller gets suspended, that will hurt them. Peyton Manning also showed last season that we should never doubt him.

Jack: One team that made a lot of noise this offseason was the Chicago Bears. The main factor with the Bears’ offense will be how efficient Jay Cutler can be in spreading the ball. Last year Chicago wide receiver Brandon Marshall caught 118 balls for over 1500 yards; however Chicago’s second-best wide receiver, Earl Bennett, only had 29 catches. On the defensive side of the ball, the Bears should hold up to their usual standard. I think if the Bears can stay healthy and focused, there will definitely be some playoff games in Chicago this winter.
