Cheryl Barnett, international recruitment coordinator, as well as Cheryl Ernst and Patricia Krejcik, faculty from the Center for English as a Second Language’s department of linguistics, visited Brazil three times in the past two months to meet with various government leaders and discuss ways to recruit students from Brazil. The trio said they met with the Department of Commerce and the Department of Education, and they attended a Brazilian government-sponsored commercial affair for recruitment purposes. They also met with thousands of Brazilian students during September and October as a part of the university’s recruitment efforts.
“We are hoping to see some of these students arrive for the spring semester,� Barnett said. She said the three chose to go to Brazil because of the country’s booming economy. Brazil ranks with India and China, she said, as having one of the top emerging international economies. Barnett said SIU hasn’t had a large Brazilian presence, which was another reason the trips were planned. She estimated fewer than 10 Brazilian students attend SIU, and she would like to see a more diverse student population. “We want students from all over the world in all our colleges so they can interact with our students,� she said. “It’s good for our population and good for (the other countries’) population.

In the September 2012 issue of The National Jurist, a national law publication, the university’s law school received an A- grade based on factors such as average student
debt and job placement. Nathan Rice, a third-year law student from Jonesboro and Student Bar Association president, said the rating is appropriate. “If you look at some of the schools we’re in company with — University of Florida, University of Arizona — it’s great company to have,� Rice said. Other schools honored include
Brigham Young University and the University of Iowa. The University of Alabama placed first, with job placements at 90 percent. Rice said the equation for the recognition adds together in-state tuition, average post-graduation student debt, the percentage of employed graduates nine months after graduation and test passage rates. “It’s really every key factor
included in legal education in one behemoth of an equation,� he said. According to the article, new American Bar Association employment data changed this year’s calculation. The ABA’s data was released for the first time last spring, and the information caused several schools, including Brigham Young, to drop ranks. Rice said the United States has
more than 180 accredited law schools, and only 47 schools made the list. He said 65 schools made the publication’s list in 2011.

"QQFBMT DPVSU DBOEJEBUF TUBOET CFIJOE EJTQVUFE BE -,0 68+5 $VVRFLDWHG 3UHVV S T. LO U I S — A Democratic candidate for a southern Illinois appellate court said Monday she has no plans to honor a state bar association’s recommendation that she pull a television campaign ad accusing her Republican opponent of ramrodding foreclosure orders while serving as a circuit judge. Judy Cates said she stands behind the veracity of the ad Steve McGlynn complained to the Illinois State Bar Association wrongly accuses him of playing a key role in Illinois’ foreclosure crisis as a St. Clair County circuit judge assigned to his district’s foreclosure docket.

“SIU law really strives to give that practical experience and to make sure tuition is low and graduation debt is low so that you can do whatever you want when you graduate,� he said. “You’re not weighted down (by debt). The way (the magazine) measures it is attuned to our strengths.� Alicia Ruiz, director of communications and public outreach at the School of Law, said
The association’s Standing Committee on Supreme/Appellate Election Campaign Tone and Conduct last Friday sided with McGlynn and issued a written, non-binding recommendation urging that Cates stop airing the ad in her quest for the Mount Vernonbased 5th District Appellate Court. Cates, saying she was “shocked� the panel decided the matter without hearing her side, told The Associated Press she received the letter Monday but that “the ad will continue� until she gets that hearing before the panel. “Stephen McGlynn cannot hide from his judicial record,� said Cates, an attorney in the St. Louis suburb of Belleville. “Our commercial is entirely accurate on
the facts.� According to the ad, McGlynn has signed more than 2,000 foreclosure orders “evicting families from their homes� — a claim the bar association panel ultimately ruled “erroneous� — and that the Belleville Republican routinely “rubber stamps� foreclosure orders. Calling the ad’s assertions “flatly false,� McGlynn’s campaign has argued that the ad violates Illinois Supreme Court rules for ethics in judicial campaigns and “brings disrepute onto the entire court system by suggesting that the courts have created the foreclosure crisis.� “To suggest that the courts have created the foreclosure crisis is like saying the Red Cross creates natural
disasters because they are always there for the clean-up,� McGlynn campaign spokesman Charlie Johnston said, adding that “foreclosure is not eviction� but instead the start of a process often resulting in homeowners redeeming their homes or restructuring their loan. “Judge McGlynn has been noted for his fairness and compassion in working with both lenders and families to develop a workable plan to deal with the devastation our poor economy has wreaked on many homeowners and lienholders,� his campaign said. “You cannot make statements that are materially false or, in a misleading way, bring the judicial system into disrepute.� Seeking a return to the appellate court, McGlynn was appointed in
2005 to serve on that panel before his unsuccessful bid the following year to keep the seat. McGlynn and Cates are vying for the seat being vacated by 60-year-old James Donovan, who announced last year his plans to retire this December from the appellate court covering 37 counties. Donovan was assigned to the court in 2002 and was elected two years later. Dave Anderson, a spokesman for the bar association, told The Associated Press on Monday that both candidates had signed a pledge “to abide by certain standards� while campaigning, though it’s up to Cates to voluntarily pull the ad as recommended by the committee.
low tuition rates are something all students appreciate, but the school doesn’t always receive national recognition for it. “It has always been our mission to make the cost affordable, not only for students as they come in but also so that they can then pursue careers in public service,� she said. Ruiz said the minimal debt allows students the freedom to choose where to work rather than being tied into taking high-paying jobs. Tisdale said many out-of-state law
students attend the university because of the low tuition rates. Rice said the lower tuition was one of the reasons he decided to study at the law school. “They teach the same law everywhere,� he said. “Here, we get a practical spin to it. Beyond that, it’s the small town feel (of the school).� Rice said the law school is like a family. He said the administrators, students and professors all have close bonds. “Law school is a tough road to travel,� he said. “At the end of the day,
we’re all in the same boat.� Every university law school class contains an assignment with a practical workforce application, which Rice said can benefit students. “Every class you’re in has a writing assignment that gives a practical application of the law,� he said. “You’re not just learning about theoretical ideas and torts and damages. You’re learning about things that matter, things that make you a better attorney.� Many adjunct professors at the law
school are from area law firms, Rice said, and they give assignments they know will be practical. Often times, he said, the university’s law students are more prepared for externships and internships than their peers. “People are giving the assignments to the people from SIU because (our students) know what they’re doing,� he said.

Derrick Smith told Chicago’s WMAQ-TV that whether he wins his race is “in God’s hands,� but he believes he will win. Smith was arrested days before the March primary in an FBI sting. He is accused of accepting a $7,000 bribe in exchange for helping what he thought was a day care center to obtain a state grant. He pleaded not guilty. He refused to resign and easily won his primary election. But his colleagues in the House voted 100-6 in August to relieve Smith of his duties.

Yi Lee, the university’s international program coordinator, said partnerships with other countries are beneficial to everyone involved. “They are getting a cultural understanding of the United States and the academic experience of the American education system,� he said. “Also, our students are learning about the cultural diversities of the world.
Gov. Pat Quinn earlier this month announced he is backing Tyson, joining Secretary of State Jesse White, who was once a Smith supporter. Smith was first appointed to the House last year to fill a vacancy. Since his indictment, Smith has kept a low profile, refusing to debate his opponent and turning aside interview requests from the news media. On Monday, a reporter for WMAQ-TV tracked him down in a parking lot of a West Side seafood restaurant. Smith said as he campaigns, he hears a lot of comments about being innocent until proven guilty. He says if he’s re-elected, his agenda would be bringing economic develop to his district. When expelled, Smith expressed disappointment that his colleagues had not heard “the whole truth� about his case. He refused Monday to talk about the case against him.
Barnett said the results so far have been encouraging. She said website data showed a recent spike of Brazilian students who are interested in attending the university. She said she will find out the official numbers of students who will attend the university soon. Daniel VanOverbeke, a graduate student in accounting from Fox Lake, said it is important to have a diverse student population.

The new vice chancellor’s salary will be at $185,000, Salmo said. “SIU salaries, while not the highest, are competitive with other universities,� Cheng said.

OKL AHOMA CIT Y — Republicans in Oklahoma are so confident Mitt Romney will win the Sooner State and capture its seven electoral votes Tuesday that they are exporting volunteers to the nearest swing state — Colorado. More than 50 volunteers left Oklahoma Sunday and were knocking on doors Wednesday in the Denver area and urging voters to support Romney. “We have so many people that want to help, that because of that, we have the luxury of sending volunteers from Oklahoma to a swing state,� said Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell. “I think Oklahomans realize how important this race is and want to do everything they can to help.� Colorado is one of about nine swing states where polls show Romney and President Barack Obama within a few points of each other. Pinnell said the trip, funded entirely by the Oklahoma Republican Party, also gives activists a chance to be
involved with a presidential campaign that is running in high gear. “We feel like we have a very organized victory program here in Oklahoma, but in these swing states they take it to a whole other level,� Pinnell said. “It’s a great learning opportunity for those who want to be involved in politics to see a real well-oiled volunteer operation in a swing state.� Mark Keeling, a truck driver from Chickasha and the founder of the Grady County tea party, said he joined the Oklahoma GOP’s “Boots on the Ground Deployment� because of his dislike for Obama and government restrictions, such as limits on beverage serving sizes recently proposed in New York. “The main reason we started the tea party four years ago was to get anybody but Obama,� Keeling said in a telephone interview from Colorado. “I’m a freedom person. ... I’m not a socialist. I like my guns. I like my 32-ounce soda pops. “I’ve got the time, so I wanted to
help out.� Keeling said volunteers are targeting voters who already have requested absentee ballots and reminding them to vote for Romney. Oklahomans aren’t the only ones joining volunteer efforts in nearby swing states. From Illinois, where Obama is favored to win his home state, Democrats have sent volunteers to nearby swing states Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri, said Steve Brown, spokesman for the Illinois Democratic Party. “Some of that is being coordinated in the areas that border those states,� Brown said. “There’s a feeling in Illinois that the president will do well here.� Wallace Collins, chairman of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, said he has no problem with GOP volunteers leaving Oklahoma. “We’re going to try to keep our powder dry and stay right here and work on Oklahoma issues and Oklahoma voters,� Collins said, “and I think we’ll have a few surprises for them on Nov. 6.�

ROMNEY
The president started a program that exempted children brought illegally to the United States from deportation. He also granted work permits to all illegal immigrants who chose to apply for one. This initiative can benefit up to 1.4 million illegal immigrants in the country, according to the Sacramento Bee newspaper. He did this after a failed immigration overhaul that would have granted citizenship to young illegal immigrants who are enrolled in college or enlisted in the armed forces. Obama has said his greatest failure as president was his inability to pass a comprehensive immigration reform, but a record almost 400,000 illegal immigrants have been deported per year for the past three years
Republican candidate Mitt Romney has said he believes only illegal immigrants who serve or will serve in the armed forces should be granted citizenship. He also supports the U.S.-Mexico border fence, which has been proven to cut down on illegal immigration but holds an estimated $50 billion lifetime maintenance cost. If voted into office, Romney said he would set up a national immigration-status verification system for employers so companies that employ non-citizens can be punished, according to an article on CNNmoney.com. Although Romney will not grant citizenship for illegal immigrants who attend a college, he has proposed visas be granted to advanced math, science and engineering degree holders. He would also award permanent residency to foreign students who graduate from U.S. schools with a degree in those fields. Romney said he will create a comprehensive immigration policy upon election.
Expert Weigh-In Should illegal immigrants be granted legal status if they are in college or serve in the armed forces? "This is an example of an issue where the country has to have a civil discussion with itself about this problem," said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute. "It isn't just illegal immigrants. It's immigrants in general." Should businesses be punished for hiring illegal immigrants? "Yes we should," Yepsen said. "But at the same time we're going to say you're going to be punished for hiring illegal immigrants, we have to find a system that will allow agricultural laborers to work in this country. We've always done that. I think you have to be careful about being too hard lined that you exclude those (workers), because then you'll have a problem in your whole agricultural sector."

Student Insight Should illegal immigrants be granted legal status if they are in college or serve in the armed forces? "An immigrant in college has only demonstrated an interest in their benefit (education)," said Michael Roatz, a junior from Thiensville, Wis., studying computer science. "An immigrant willing to enter the armed forces demonstrates their allegiance by oath of enlistment. I believe those entering the armed forces should be granted a conditional citizenship with the requirement that they demonstrate knowledge about the political and societal nature of the country." Should businesses be punished for hiring illegal immigrants? "There are so many Americans who are unemployed and/or on public aid, and those are the people who need these jobs," said Chelsea Reardon, a senior from Murphysboro studying speech communication. "They might be overqualified or not want to work hard labor jobs, but Americans need to be willing to work and stop relying on the government and illegal immigrants need to go through the process to become legal and then get jobs."

Jamie Foxx stars in the film as the title character, a freed slave who teams up with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to take down several slave traders and rescue Django’s wife from an evil plantation owner (Leonardo Dicaprio). Since it’s Tarantino, the audience is guaranteed a couple things: The movie is going to be ridiculously long, and it’s going to be ridiculously awesome. Foxx is a dependable actor, and the team of Foxx and Waltz is an interesting choice. This may be an unorthodox Christmas release, but it tops my list.
Also in December: Judd Apatow spins off “Knocked Up� as he follows Paul Rudd’s character from the original movie in “This is 40,� Dec. 21; Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Awarding-winning director of “The Hurt Locker,� presents a tale about catching Osama Bin Laden in “Zero Dark Thirty,� Dec. 19; and Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand go on a road trip in “The Guilt Trip,� also out Dec. 19.

%HDUVŇ‹ RIIHQVH SUHGLFWDEOH IRFXVLQJ RQ 0DUVKDOO $VVRFLDWHG 3UHVV L A K E F O R E S T — The Chicago Bears’ offense has been anything but a balancing act. The Bears know they’ll have to do more than have quarterback Jay Cutler throw to wide receiver Brandon Marshall repeatedly if they’re going to handle a handful of strong defenses in the second half of the season, starting Sunday with Tennessee. Still, they’re not necessarily willing to abandon their offensive star. “We’re like the (Minnesota) Timberwolves when Kevin Garnett was playing,â€? Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice said. “All their offensive plays went through him, and in our passing game obviously we’re going to go through Brandon.
“So he’s going to be the first read or an early read a lot of the times and there are other plays where we design to have a read on both sides, and the coverage dictates which way the quarterback is going with the football.� When the Bears acquired Marshall in the offseason, the plan wasn’t to use him as a decoy. They’ve followed through on that as the only game in which Marshall caught fewer than five passes was in a loss to Green Bay when he had two receptions for 24 yards. “When you have a definite ‘one,’ you want to make sure you get your ‘one’ receiver; his reps, his plays, his passes, which we are doing,� coach Lovie Smith said. “But we definitely want to get others involved.� However, it hasn’t exactly been a rush to the end zone even if Marshall
and Cutler are piling up statistics. The two have been at their best in clutch situations. Marshall leads the NFC in third-down receptions (16) and yardage (675), while Cutler leads the NFL with a fourth-quarter passer rating of 132.0. The most important figures are point production. The Bears’ offense — excluding defensive scoring — is averaging 20.1 points per game. That’s down from the 21.9 points per game the offense scored last season in 10 games when Cutler didn’t have Marshall to throw to and Mike Martz was offensive coordinator. Losing Alshon Jeffery for at least one more game due to a hand fracture has hurt the balance, but Earl Bennett returned two games ago from a hand injury and is starting to
work his way back into the offense. “It’s really important,� Marshall said. “I think getting Earl back is definitely going to help us and open up some things for all the guys. “He was the reason things shifted for us on Sunday, making two big first down catches I think in the fourth quarter really got us going.� Running back Matt Forte has never had fewer than 51 catches in a season, but has just 18 receptions for 134 yards this year and only 45 yards receiving total over the past four games. “I think I said earlier, maybe in training camp, I didn’t think Matt was going to get the touches that he got last year,� Cutler said. “There’s not enough balls to go around.� “I think we want to keep him fresher than he was last year toward
the end of the year; that’s why we put (Michael Bush) in there and with the receivers we have there is a lot of balls to go around there. So Matt is not going to get the receptions he had last year. I think that is just how it is going to be this year.� The Bears’ offense has been at its worst on first down, averaging a leaguelow 4.19 yards a first-down play. “It’s really hard,� Tice said. “We’re running the ball good and all of a sudden we run into a second-and-10, -11 -12. And so where do you find the rhythm?� NOTES: Jeffery missed practice, while TE Matt Spaeth had limited participation with an ankle injury. ... Cutler said the rib injury suffered Oct. 22 against Detroit is no longer an issue.

Pippen has been serving as a team ambassador. In a statement issued Wednesday, Reinsdorf says
the new title will “better reflect his role with the Bulls.� He says Pippen has a “great rapport� with the players, and his “generous personality and sense of humor� allows him to “connect with our partners, fans and front office.� Along with Michael Jordan, Pippen helped lead the Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s.
$VVRFLDWHG 3UHVV CHICAGO — Forward Taj Gibson does not expect to agree to a contract extension with the Chicago Bulls before Wednesday’s deadline. Asked if he’s turning down the Bulls’ offer, Gibson says that’s “the way I see it.�
He spoke briefly before the season opener against the Sacramento Kings. The sides have until 10:59 p.m. Central time to reach an agreement. Otherwise, he becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the season, meaning the Bulls would have the right to match any offer he receives on the open market.

Soccer has been around for more than 150 years, but Americans are just now picking up the world’s game. We have adapted to new technology, reconstructed legislature and foreign concepts pretty quickly throughout our brief history. What’s taken us so long with soccer? Many Americans will tell you that no one here cares about the game. We have our football, baseball, basketball and hockey. There’s just no room for soccer in our world of sports. I say otherwise. But what’s most surprising about soccer’s expansion in the United States is where it’s coming from: Europe. The Champions League, which is the championship tournament for Europe’s best club teams, brought Fox more than two million viewers during the final match between English club Chelsea and German club Bayern Munich in May 2012. This figure is a 676 percent increase compared to when ESPN 2 hosted the Champions League final in 2002, according to Nielsen Media Research,. NBC Universal signed a three-year deal with the Barclays English Premier League Tuesday that will allow NBC, its newly developed NBC Sports Network and two other NBC-owned channels to broadcast up to 380 games a year.

NBC Universal will spend an estimated $80 to $85 million a year for the deal, according to Richard Sandomir of the New York Times. “The European soccer fan base is big in America because of all the stars,� said Bryan Musungu, a graduate student in planet and solar science from Fayetteville, N.C. “I feel like U.S. soccer (MLS) is starting to get bigger, but we’re not quite the best yet.� European soccer leagues such as the Premier League and Spain’s La Liga are expanding the American scope of the game. As a result, America’s league, Major League Soccer, is picking up some steam and finding its way into Americans’ homes. ESPN has started to increase its coverage both on TV, where it broadcasts at least one Premier League game a week, and on its website. The NBC Sports Network has also garnered high ratings from its league broadcasting.

Gordon Lee, a junior from Manhattan studying zoology, said he thinks soccer’s television coverage has benefited both networks and fans. “I think people are more knowledgeable now and can talk about different teams,� he said. “I see a lot more soccer jerseys around, and I think the media has played a big part of it.� Nielsen Media Research reported that the NBC Sports Network received more than 200,000 viewers in six of seven matches it broadcasted for a six-week stretch in June, July and August. The July 28 Dallas and Los Angeles game drew an estimated 400,000 viewers — such an astounding figure for a league long considered an afterthought. The league’s success can also be attributed to some European imports. England’s David Beckham came to the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007, and French striker Thierry Henry joined the New York Red Bulls in 2010. Both of these
moves signified a change in the way America perceives the world’s most popular game. “The MLS is definitely becoming more popular,� Musungu said. “They’re starting to bring in more European players, which gives it more of an international feel. Certain teams now have big name stars, which has raised the league’s status.� Soccer hasn’t just expanded on American airwaves in the past 10 years. Youth soccer developmental programs are rapidly expanding, and these kids stick with the game when they get to high school and college. Kelly Kuyawa, a junior from New Lenox studying exercise science, said she has played the game for more than 12 years. A member of the SIU women’s soccer club, Kuyawa said she thinks the college generation is mostly responsible for the game’s expansion across the United States. “Now, more so than ever, college soccer is getting bigger,� she said. “We’re the first generation that’s been playing soccer since our youth. We are only a generation in, but we will see that soccer in America will get more support.� Americans are also reciprocating the soccer exchange in Europe, as some top contributors from the U.S. men’s national team such as Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard and Michael Bradley have found places in some of the world’s most competitive clubs. Soccer will never surpass football or baseball as the United States’ pastime, but it is making its mark. It’s about time, America.
