Fighting for truth, justice, and a world record

TIFFANY BLANCHETTE | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Reid Carter, 4, left, and Ethan Carter, 5, center, both of St. Louis, relax Sunday near the Superman statue in Metropolis during the 35th annual Superman Celebration. Organizers of the celebration hoped to bring the Guinness world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Superman back to Metropolis this year, a record they originally set in 2008 with 128 participants, said Karla Ogle, co-chairman of the Superman Celebration. Sunday’s world record attempt brought 268 participants together, falling short of the newest record set by 566 Sears employees from Chicago June 5, said Lisa Gower, co-chariman of the Superman Celebration. “We tried really hard and we knew it was going to be fun,” she said. “We decided to try to beat our personal record and we did.”

IT department hopes to improve campus technology TREY BRAUNECKER Daily Egyptian The information technology department at the university will begin charging each department a basic fee of $100 per faculty or staff member to cover technology services. The fee will help keep each department up to date with technology across campus by paying for newer desktops, network access, e-mail accounts and directory services. The objective with the new fee is to help centralize all technology services to the IT department, and allow better service to faculty

in all departments, said David Crain, assistant provost and chief information officer. Currently, it is the responsibility of each department to take care of issues such as wireless access points, telephone lines, voicemail services and new desktops. Crain said because each department pays for their own IT services, there is a wide variation of technology services across campus. “The colleges that had plenty of money were up to date on their technology, while those departments that did not have much money were using nine- to 10-year-old computers,” he said.

Crain said some departments even cancelled their phone lines and voicemail services because of budget cuts in an attempt to save money. Unfortunately, the cancellations were not saving money because the university already pays for those services, he said. Keeping an old computer for more than five years could also cost individual departments and the university more money than it would save because of computer downtime, lost productivity and support costs, Crain said. He said with the new fee, the IT department will put computers on a five-year replacement cycle to provide each department with

constantly updated computers. Crain said although the payment method will be different from what the faculty is used to, he hopes they will understand how much it could help keep the university up to date. “At other universities, they are charging more than $100 for these services for all users, not just your all-time permanent staff. So, these are highly subsidized services,” Crain said. “We realize it is somewhat controversial because it is new way to pay for technology services, but it is still a real bargain for our users.” Please see TECHNOLOGY | 3

Assistant dean of student affairs to retire after 30 years MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian A senior staff member from the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts is set to retire at the end of July. Clare Mitchell, assistant dean of student affairs, is retiring this summer after 30 years of service at SIU. She has been a successful member of the university staff,

earning recognition for superior achievements by the university in 2006 at the Excellence Through Commitment Awards program. Mitchell’s co-workers said her departure will leave a void that cannot be filled in the department or the university. Mitchell stated that she thinks she has done all she can for MCMA students, helping some of them receive scholarships as well

as contributing to the creation of Kellogg Hall as an MCMA student residence. Mitchell said she is retiring for a few reasons, including family and personal issues, but also because she thinks it is time for her to move on. “Retiring from the university will be a challenge, but it is also another opportunity,” Mitchell said. “I’ll miss the students a lot, and a lot

of people I work with, but I look forward to some new and exciting challenges in my life and I know the people who are still here will do a wonderful job carrying on.” Mitchell plans on traveling, seeing her family more often as well as additional volunteering when she retires. Some of Mitchell’s co-workers spoke about her, holding her in very high regard saying that she

will be missed at the university. Jean Kelley, an academic advisor for radio, television, and digital media students, said she has worked with Mitchell since she first started in the department and Mitchell has been an important member of the university, prioritizing student assistance and helping fellow coworkers at every turn.

Analysts: Midwest drivers to see lower gas prices DAVID EGGERT Associated Press LANSING, Mich. — The worst may be over for drivers in the upper Midwest who have been grappling with the highest gasoline prices in the continental U.S. Analysts said one major Illinois refinery is back online and another big one in Indiana is on track to ramp up production again soon. The refineries’ ongoing maintenance — which led to reduced supply and higher prices — are the primary culprits for the surge at the pump. “On balance, I think the worst is over,” Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com, said Tuesday. Exxon Mobil’s refinery in Joliet, Ill., was offline longer than expected, he said. Assuming there are no hiccups with BP’s plans to soon restart a crude unit at its refinery in Whiting, Ind., prices could drop

University spokesman Rod Sievers said since each department has had to deal with its own computer problems, centralizing IT services would help solve technological issues faster. “Say a computer in a department goes down, you just call someone and they take care of it,” he said. “The faculty do not have to worry about it. It’s going to take away the burden of maintaining computer systems within the departments so each office can concentrate on their tasks at hand.” Michael Shelton, deputy director

below $4 a gallon within weeks throughout a five-state region stretching from Wisconsin to Ohio, according to experts. “You just have one refinery issue after another. As they’re coming back on, that should be a big thing,” said Phil Flynn, chief energy analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. AAA said Michigan’s average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gas was $4.20 on Tuesday, topped only by Hawaii and well above the national average of $3.63 per gallon. Motorists in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin were paying above $4 on average while drivers in Ohio were shelling out $3.90. Gas prices in the five Midwest states ranked in the top nine states nationally. With many people preparing to hit the road for their summer vacations, public anger over the high price of gas is building in Michigan. One

of telecommunication services, said if faculty can open new channels for communication, such as more telephone lines and voicemail accounts, it can also help interdepartment relations. “Keeping updated with phone lines and voicemails is important for all departments to connect with students,” Shelton said. “But it also makes it easier for different departments to contact each other and find a direct link to other university faculty.” Crain said standardizing technology across campus would also help the university become a leader in higher education technology and provide a positive

Republican lawmaker is drafting a bill designed to entice construction of a new refinery in the state and Democrats are questioning the state attorney general’s commitment to investigating high prices. Anton Fellinger, who lives near Detroit in Macomb County’s Washington Township, finds the high pump prices particularly acute with his 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. “My blood boils every time I put gas in it,” he said. “I’m biting the bullet right now, but if this continues I might pull the trigger and get something that gets me 30 miles per gallon.” Fellinger, who drives about 18 miles to work, found a more economical mode of transport on Tuesday: his motorcycle. But that option is limited in northern states such as Michigan. His saving grace on days he drives the Silverado is a local gas station that offers free car

impact on the recruitment and retention of students by providing better access to faculty. Sievers said he agreed and that standardizing technology on campus would give students better access to all departments. “If everyone is standardized, then it can only help the efficiency between departments,” Sievers said. “ If we can improve efficiency, then we are bound to improve services to students and other people who come into contact with the university.” Trey Braunecker can be reached at tbraunecker@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 259.

washes for customers who buy at least eight gallons of gas. “I’ve just been racking up the free car washes,” he said. “I might as well get something out of it.” Analysts said it will take some time for the refineries to ramp up production, but the upgrades — which took longer than expected at the Illinois refinery — ultimately could pay dividends because some maintenance is being done so facilities like the one in Whiting can refine Canadian crude oil. “This is the busiest (refinery) reconfiguring quarter we’ve seen in a generation,” Kloza said. “A year from now you should be beneficiaries of all the cheap crude coming from Canada. It’s a little pain this year but perhaps it means gain next year.” Continuing of a time-honored tradition of politicians from either major party seizing on gas prices

whenever they spike, Democrats in the Michigan House on Tuesday said the public deserves answers. House Minority Leader Tim Greimel of Auburn Hills said he does not believe most gas station owners are taking advantage of the refinery issue to gouge drivers. But in calling on the Michigan’s attorney general to investigate, he questioned if there is broader price manipulation higher up in the supply chain. “It’s time the state government stood up and tried to protect Michigan families in every way possible,” Greimel said. Attorney General Bill Schuette, a Republican, said a myriad of factors contribute to fluctuating gas prices. He warned retailers against taking advantage of customers while at the same time saying his office routinely investigates the issue and will not hesitate to act if laws are broken.

a true expert concerning the policies and procedures of the university, yet at the same time the friendliest face a student at SIUC could ever hope to meet,” Young said. Mitchell said that some of her favorite times at the university involved teaching before she became an administrator and interacted with staff across the university. She said being able to work with MCMA students in her time at the university was one of her favorite things. “I love mass communication and media arts students,” Mitchell said. “They’re creative and dynamic and very devoted to what they want to do, and it’s been a lot of fun working with that.”

“Clare (Mitchell) always works to put the students first and provide’s as much assistance as possible to the students,” she said. “She also was there to assist faculty members with various issues that they were experiencing with students and she routinely provided information to the various administrative offices regarding MCMA, the students and the faculty and staff.” Jack Young, an academic advisor for journalism students, shared that he has been grateful to work with Mitchell for nine years in the department. He considers Mitchell as one of the most caring professionals he has ever worked with, even outside of the university. “Clare is such a hard worker and

Visitors dressed as Superman look up in the sky to pose for a group photo Sunday at the 35th Annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis. Organizers of the celebration were attempting to break the Guinness world record for the number of people dressed as the Man of Steel in one location. The 268 participants fell short of breaking the newest world record of 566, but managed to break Metropolis’ 128-person Guinness world record, which they originally set in 2008.

Carimi passes physical with Bucs to complete trade FRED GOODAL Associated Press The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope reuniting Gabe Carimi with one of his college coaches will help jumpstart the offensive tackle’s pro career. The former first-round draft pick passed a physical on Monday, completing a trade that brought him to the Bucs from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2014 draft. The 6-foot-7, 316-pound Carimi won the Outland Trophy as a senior at Wisconsin, but failed to play up

to expectations the Bears had for him as the 29th overall pick in the 2011 draft. The Bucs welcomed the opportunity to bring Carimi in to work with offensive line coach Bob Bostad, one of his college coaches. The move bolsters the depth on a group that helped Doug Martin rush for 1,454 yards as a rookie despite playing much of last season without injured starting guards Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph. “It provides competition. ... He’s played right guard and right tackle,” general manager Mark Dominik said, adding that the Bucs also liked

Carimi coming out of Wisconsin. “We did have a low first-round grade on him, about where he went,” Dominik said. “We felt he was a good fit for a mauling type of scheme, like someone who’s going to be more physical and run the ball. ... “I think our style of play fits into what he is.” Carimi, who’s expected to participate in a mandatory minicamp that begins Tuesday, started the first two games of his rookie year at right tackle before suffering a seasonending knee injury. The Bears shifted him to right guard, where he started the first 10 games before losing the job to

Jonathan Scott last season. “You almost have to look at last year as kind of his rookie year. He only played a couple of games his first year, so he missed a lot of chance to grow and develop,” Dominik said. The GM watched tape of Carimi from last season. “You could see he was not 100 percent, and they wound up having to sit him. ... He looked more rusty than like a guy with limited skills,” Dominik said. Carimi attended the Bears’ voluntary minicamp in April, but did not participate in organized team activities after that. “He’s going to have a lot of work to

do, but I think he’s looking forward to it,” Dominik said. “He saw what Doug Martin did last year and what we do as an organization, and I’ve got to think that being reunited with his college football coach is a big deal to him.” Bostad, an assistant at Wisconsin while Carimi was with the Badgers, is looking forward to working with the player again. “We’re just looking for Gabe to come in here and compete, come in here and do what he did for me for four years at Wisconsin,” Bostad said. “Come out there and be physical, be tough, be a smart football player.”

Cubs end Locke’s no-hit bid and beat Pirates 4-1 Associated Press

Jeff Locke was having such a hard time throwing strikes that he didn’t even realize he was working on a nohitter. The left-hander held Chicago hitless into the sixth inning Sunday but Cody Ransom hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer off reliever Justin Wilson in the seventh and Edwin Jackson pitched the Cubs to a 4-1

NBA CONTINUED FROM

Despite Miami getting the win in both games, the Spurs weren’t at full strength for the first game either. Duncan, Parker and Ginobili had the day off to rest. In the first two games of the finals, James was the lead scorer, putting up 18 points in game one and 17 in game two. This is normal for Miami as James has led them in points, rebounds, assists and steals throughout the playoffs. San Antonio’s key player has been Parker. Parker has averaged 17 points per game in the finals and has thrown in 5.5 assists per game. The

victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Locke went 5 2-3 innings without allowing a hit but also walked seven batters. “I didn’t really know that I didn’t give up any hits because there was somebody on base every inning,” he said. “Multiple people the whole time. I was pitching from the stretch no matter what.” Locke gave up his first hit, a sharp single to left field by Dioner Navarro, in the sixth after the Cubs tied the

score at 1 without a hit. “Definitely kind of a freak game,” Locke said. “Something that I haven’t been a part of before.” Locke was pulled after Navarro’s hit. He struck out six but threw 100 pitches in 5 2-3 innings. “It was a mixed bag,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “The rhythm and repeating his delivery wasn’t where it needs to be. He kept his mound composure. He continued to compete. But he pitched out of the

stretch the entire day with runners in scoring position.” Ransom connected off Wilson (5-1) for his sixth home run of the season. Darwin Barney and Julio Borbon were on base. “I just have to make a better pitch there. Good job of hitting,” Wilson said. “I didn’t get it far enough in there and he got the barrel to it and it got up in the jet stream and the ball went out.” Jackson (2-8) had his best and

longest outing of a frustrating season, striking out eight in seven innings. He allowed four hits and a walk as the Cubs salvaged the finale of a three-game series. “Sometimes we take the game too serious and we are kind of confined in a bubble,” Jackson said. “Today I was just able to come out of that bubble and have some fun out there.” Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his seventh save in seven chances, completing a six-hitter.

“Big Fundamental” Tim Duncan has been a beast on the boards, collecting 25 rebounds in the finals. If Duncan continues to impose his will in the paint, the Spurs will have a chance at the title because Miami lacks a dominant inside presence. Parker’s circus shot at the end of game one was the talk of the series until the game two blowout. Parker said the shot wouldn’t mean anything unless they won the championship. Despite being out rebounded by eight, Miami took control of game two with a huge run in the second half. The Spurs’ guard Danny Green was the lone bright spot for the team in game two with 17 points. Green was 5-5 from beyond the three-point

line and was perfect from the field. In the seven-game series, the majority of ESPN experts, as well as local students, pick the Heat to win it all. “I am pulling for the Heat because I am a fair weather fan,” Ryan Speelman, a doctoral student from Colombus, Ohio studying behavioral analysis, said. “It’s hard not to root for LeBron James.” Brandon DeLage, a junior from Crystal Lake studying journalism, said he agrees with Speelman and the majority. “I think the Heat will win,” he said. “The NBA is a star-driven league and Miami has the league’s biggest star (James).” A few ESPN experts picked the

Spurs to win in six games because they are the veteran team, but game three will be a deciding factor. According to ESPN statistics, when the series is tied 1-1, the team that wins game three wins the series 86 percent of the time. Brent Kennedy, a junior from Mounds studying safety engineering at Murray State, said he agrees that the Spurs will win the series because the Heat aren’t a consistent team. “Because the Spurs are a veteran team, I feel like the Heat are either all on or they seem to struggle,” Kennedy said. San Antonio only had four turnovers in game one, but that number skyrocketed to 17 in game

two. Miami had found a way to capitalize on the amount of Spurs’ turnovers and score more points in the paint in game two. The series still has a long way to go with the next three games to be held in San Antonio, Texas. Games six and seven will be at Miami if neither team has won four games. Anytime a series goes to six or seven games, fans usually get excited to see who takes home the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy. “I want it to go seven games and end on the last shot,” Speelman said.

Phillies draft left-hander Forsythe in 25th round CHRIS ZOELLER Daily Egyptian The Philadelphia Phillies drafted senior left-handed pitcher Cody Forsythe Saturday in the 25th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Forsythe, a three-time Missouri Valley Conference All-Conference selection, pitched four seasons for the Salukis and is the alltime school leader in starts and innings pitched. After pitching 101 innings during the 2013 season, Forsythe became the first pitcher in school history to throw more than 100 innings in three consecutive seasons. “I’m excited to move onto the next stage,” Forsythe said in an SIU

Athletics press release. “I just want to thank everyone who helped me get this opportunity. I want to thank Coach Henderson, Coach Finigan and all the coaches at SIU including Coach Cal and also Kent Wallace who helped me get here.” SIU head coach Ken Henderson, who has now seen four SIU draft picks in his three seasons as head coach, said he was very excited for Forsythe. “We are thrilled for him,” Henderson said. “He has certainly earned it and is deserving of this opportunity.” Forsythe joins former SIU first baseman and two-time draft pick Chris Serritella and left-handed pitcher Nathan Dorris on the list of Salukis who have been drafted during Henderson’s tenure at SIU.

Heat, Spurs tied in title race TYLER DIXON Daily Egyptian The NBA finals rarely disappoint and this year is certainly no exception. The San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat have come to a draw after the first two games. The Spurs played the role of the tortoise perfectly in game one, scrapping by with a 92-88 victory. While seen as a veteran team, the Spurs are also called slow and boring. San Antonio won’t wow you with acrobatic dunks, but they will beat you with classic plays such as the pick and roll. In game two, the Heat showed how to play the role of the hare, cruising to a 10384 win. Miami did what they do best. They ran. By spacing the floor, they gave their shooters plenty of open shots. To further the competition, the Spurs are trying to reignite their “big three” while the Heat are

trying to solidify theirs. The Spurs’ big three, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, have been together since the 2002-2003 season and have won three championships together. Miami’s big three, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, have only been together since the summer of 2010 when James and Bosh joined the roster to birth a new dynasty. These two teams played twice during the regular season with Miami winning both games. James led Miami in the first 105100 victory with 23 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. He also added four steals. The second game, which Miami won 88-86, was the Chris Bosh show. Bosh had 23 points and nine rebounds while James and Wade didn’t play because of injuries.
