Professors wary of new IT fee TREY BRAUNECKER Daily Egyptian A new fee implemented by the information technology department may help faculty stay connected, but some are not excited about the added cost. The IT department decided to begin charging departments at the university a technology fee. The fee charges each department a certain amount based on the number of full-time staff working for the department and is intended to help standardize communication across campus. University spokesman Rod Sievers said by centralizing communication mediums such as e-mail, voicemail and phone lines, the IT department hopes to better connect faculty. He said the funding from each department would also vary depending on its size. “None of the money will come out of the professor’s pocket, but the funding will be provided by each department’s budget for the services provided by the IT department,” Sievers said. Although the fee seems beneficial to the university, Gregory Budzban, chair of the department of mathematics, said some professors are worried the costs may deplete department budgets and impact education at the university. Budzban said he first heard about the fee more than a month ago at a department chair meeting, but was not aware of the cost it would add to his department’s $50,000 yearly budget. “When we first heard about it, it was said

to be $100 per month for full-time staff,” he said. “In our department, there are 35 full-time employees. That would come out to $3,500 a month, and roughly $42,000 a year for the math department.” Budzban said the $50,000 budget is used to pay student workers at the math department, purchase classroom commodities such as paper and pens and also provides funds for guest speakers. He said if the department paid the IT fee, it would have to cut student programs such as the Early Intervention Program as well as student workers because the budget would not be able to afford them. “If we have to pay what the bill should be, two of my student workers would have to lose their positions,” he said. “I simply can not run a department as big as mathematics on the budget, and without student workers, we would have to get rid of the E.I.P.” Carey Krajewski, chair of the zoology department, said the IT department’s fee for next year would almost double the cost of his department’s previous communications budget. “I don’t have my budget figures with me, but the IT fee for the zoology department is projected to be about $22,000. This is $10,000 more than our previous telecom budget,” he said. Krajewski said the quality and services provided by the university would also be affected by the fee. Please see FEE | 3

University loses $400K worth of computers MATT DARAY Daily Egyptian A state audit has found the university to be missing a large number of computers. The Illinois Auditor General’s office found that 192 computers from the Carbondale campus and 65 computers from the Edwardsville campus with a total value of $416,183 were either missing or stolen during SIU’s 2012 fiscal year audit. While the university has recovered some of the missing computers, the result of the audit has caused the university to re-evaluate their computer policy. University spokesman Rod Sievers said the result of the audit has influenced the university to change the policy it uses to keep track of computers. “They recommended a number of avenues the university could implement to keep better track of our computer inventory,” he said. “Of course, we agreed with that and will, in fact, institute those recommendations.” Some of these recommendations include reviewing current practices of monitoring computers, establishing procedures to notify security personnel at a faster rate and ensuring confidential information is secure, according to the audit report. Jim Dahlquist, an administrative manager for the Illinois Auditor General, said the recommendations provided to the university are optional and are there to help improve the university from a passive standpoint.

“We like the audit to speak for itself,” he said. “We are, by law, required to be neutral on any type of legislation and things of that nature.” Dahlquist said his office is required by the state to audit state agencies, such as public universities, once every two years. Sievers said most of the computers lost were older models and the value of the computers listed was likely the original value. He said the university has recovered around 40 devices since the audit and it is possible that more will turn up over time. The audit also brought up concerns as far as online safety. According to the audit, protection of crucial information was a problem for the university. The Illinois Auditor General’s office said during testing, auditors found the university had not protected its computers with encryption software, which increases the risk of confidential information becoming exposed. The university experienced a breach of security information on March 30 when the personal information of students in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts, including their grade point averages, was accidentally emailed to more than 150 other students. It is unknown whether this incident is related to the Illinois Auditor General’s findings. Matt Daray can be reached at mdaray@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 254.

House passes far-reaching anti-abortion bill JIM ABRAMS Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republicanled House on Tuesday passed a far-reaching anti-abortion bill that conservatives saw as a milestone in their 40-year campaign against legalized abortion and Democrats characterized as yet another example of a GOP war on women. The legislation, sparked by the murder conviction of a Philadelphia late-term abortion provider, would restrict almost all abortions to the first 20 weeks after conception, defying laws in most states that allow abortions up to when the fetus becomes viable, usually considered to be around 24 weeks. It mirrors 20-week abortion ban laws passed by some states, and lays further groundwork for the ongoing legal battle that abortion foes hope will eventually result in forcing the Supreme Court to reconsider the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, that made abortion legal. It passed 228-196, with six Democrats voting for it and six Republicans voting against it. In the short term, the bill will go nowhere. The Democratic-controlled Senate will ignore it and the White House says the president would veto it if it ever reached his desk. The White House said the measure was “an assault on a woman’s right to choose� and “a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.� But it was a banner day for social

conservatives who have generally seen their priorities overshadowed by economic and budgetary issues since Republicans recaptured the House in 2010. Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, called it “the most important pro-life bill to be considered by the U.S. Congress in the last 10 years.� Marjorie Dannenfeiser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List — a group that seeks to eliminate abortion — said the legislation differed significantly from past abortion measures in that it restricts, rather than merely controls, the abortion procedure. Democrats chided Republicans for taking up a dead-end abortion bill when Congress is doing little to promote jobs and economic growth. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called it “yet another Republican attempt to endanger women. It is disrespectful to women. It is unsafe for families and it is unconstitutional.� Democrats also said the decision by GOP leaders to appease their restless base with the abortion vote could backfire on Republican efforts to improve their standing among women. “They are going down the same road that helped women elect Barack Obama president of the United States,� said Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s delegate to the House. The bill is so egregious to women, said Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., that women are reminded that “the last possible thing they ever want to do is leave their health policy to these men in blue suits and red ties.�

Democrats repeatedly pointed out that all 23 Republicans on the Judiciary Committee that approved the measure last week on a partyline vote are men. Republicans countered by assigning women to conspicuous roles in managing the bill on the House floor and presiding over the chamber. Republican women were prominent among those speaking in favor of the legislation. The bill, said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who was assigned to manage the bill despite not being on the Judiciary Committee, would “send the clearest possible message to the American people that we do not support more Gosnell-like abortions.� The Republican leadership gave the green light to the abortion bill after social conservatives coalesced around the case of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion doctor who was recently sentenced to life in prison for what prosecutors said was the murder of three babies delivered alive. Abortion foes said it exemplified the inhumanity of late-term abortions. “After this Kermit Gosnell trial, (and) some of the horrific acts that were going on, the vast majority of the American people believe in the substance of this bill, and so do I,� said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Absent from the debate was the bill’s main sponsor, Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who last week sparked a controversy by saying that rape resulted in few pregnancies. After Franks’ remark, which he later modified, Republicans quietly altered the bill

2IÀFH0D[ 2IÀFH 'HSRW SLW ,OO Y )OD IRU +4 DAVID MERCER Associated Press CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — OfficeMax Inc. and Office Depot Inc. want Illinois and Florida to compete to be the home of their combined headquarters if their proposed merger is approved by offering the best package of tax breaks that they can. Naperville-based OfficeMax made its pitch to Illinois lawmakers Tuesday when executives testified before a state Senate Executive Committee hearing in Springfield. The hearing was on the state’s pension crisis, but before addressing the issue, OfficeMax CEO Ravi Saligram and state Sen. Tom Cullerton pitched legislation that would give the new merged company unspecified tax breaks in exchange for maintaining at least 2,000 non-retail jobs in the state and making $150 million in capital investments. OfficeMax now

has about 2,000 employees between its headquarters, a nearby distribution center and a call center in Peru. Saligram said the two companies are just beginning the process of choosing a single headquarters. The merger, which was announced in February, is expected to be complete by the end of the year, he said. The deal still needs approval from federal regulators and shareholders. “What we are trying to do right now is first decide all the criteria, and then try to get economic incentives on both sides so we can come to an informed decision,� Saligram said, adding that Illinois has been a good home for OfficeMax. In a statement emailed to The Associated Press, a spokeswoman for Boca Raton, Fla.-based Office Depot said Florida has not yet made an offer. “The companies have agreed to discuss incentives with state and local officials at the right time in

the integration process,� Stephanie Sampiere said. “The Illinois state Legislature appears to be trying to gain an advantage by being the first to the table.� Cullerton, a Villa Park Democrat whose district includes the distribution center, told the AP Wednesday that he needed to move quickly and decided to introduce the legislation during the special session on pensions rather than wait until later this year. “Right now we’re in a competition,� he said, adding that he was waiting to hear back from the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity about how much the agency could offer in tax breaks. Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity spokeswoman Sandra Jones would only say that the agency believes the new company would be well positioned if it stayed in Illinois.

FEE

CONTINUED FROM

to include an exception to the 20-week ban for instances of rape and incest. Democrats still balked, saying the exception would require a woman to prove that she had reported the rape to authorities. The bill has an exception when a physical condition threatens the life of the mother, but Democratic efforts to include other health exceptions were rebuffed. The legislation would ban abortions that take place 20 weeks after conception, which is equivalent to 22 weeks of pregnancy. Some 10 states have passed laws similar to the House bill, and several are facing court challenges. Last month a federal court struck down as unconstitutional Arizona’s law, which differs slightly in banning abortion 20 weeks after pregnancy rather than conception. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a New York-based reproductive health research organization that supports abortion rights, in 2009, 1.3 percent of the 1.2 million abortions in the country, about 15,600, occurred 20 weeks after the fetus was conceived. Supporters of the legislation also contended that fetuses can feel pain after about 20 weeks, and the bill cites extensively from studies agreeing with that conclusion. Opponents say such findings are inconclusive. Pro-choice groups argued that the 20-week ban, in addition to being unconstitutional, would affect women just at the point of learning of a fetal anomaly or determining that the pregnancy could put the mother’s life in danger.

“We have been told to prepare for a two to five percent cut in operating and staff budgets in addition to the IT fee,� he said. “This would require reducing several full-time staff to part time, eliminating all funding for student travel and drastically reducing the amounts available for teaching equipment and supplies.� Sievers said the fee will have advantages such as regular maintenance of computers, constant upgrades and free telephone lines for each department. Although the IT department is supposed to improve communications across campus, Budzban said he does not understand the practicality behind the decision to charge departments.

“The technological problems we face are fixed within the math department at a fraction of the cost,� he said. “The only benefit I see with this fee is they replace your laptop every five years, but that comes out of the cost for the IT department, so we would be losing more money than if we just used our current laptops.� Both Krajewski and Budzban said they realize the importance of having an IT department on campus, but the expenses for this IT service is unrealistic. “IT services are necessary to the university, but how we pay for them as a campus requires more thought,� Krajewski said.

Space Capone opens summer series

CHRIS ZOELLER | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Members of Space Capone perform Thursday during the first Sunset Concert at Shryock Auditorium in Carbondale. The Nashville based R&B/Soul group has performed at the summer concert series in previous years. The weekly series will continue tonight at Turley Park with Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers performing at 7 p.m.

Father sentenced for binding kids outside Wal-Mart Associated Press LAWRENCE, Kan. — A suburban Chicago man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 months in prison for binding and blindfolding two of his children a year ago in a Wal-Mart parking lot in eastern Kansas. Adolfo Gomez, 53, also was ordered to serve 24 months of postrelease supervision after his prison term ends, said Cheryl Wright Kunard, a spokeswoman for the Douglas County district attorney’s office. Gomez and his wife, Deborah Gomez, were arrested June 13, 2012,

in Lawrence after a woman saw a child bound and blindfolded near the family’s vehicle. Police reported finding two of their children, ages 5 and 7, bound by their hands and feet in the store parking lot, while three other children, ages 12, 13 and 15, were inside the SUV unrestrained. Adolfo Gomez pleaded no contest in December to felony child abuse and child endangerment. Deborah Gomez was sentenced earlier to one year of probation after pleading no contest to child endangerment. The Gomezes told police they were in the parking lot because their vehicle had broken down on

Interstate 70 near Lawrence on their way to Arizona. At a preliminary hearing, investigators said Adolfo Gomez told them he had been listening to an online preacher who was predicting the end of the world and that a “darkness had come over� their house in Northlake, Ill. One of the older children told police the family believed demons were in their home and outside their SUV in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Adolfo Gomez told police the two younger children were acting out toward the older children in the vehicle during Bible studies.

Louisville Slugger exhibit features Lego stadiums Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A baseball-themed exhibit built entirely from Legos is attracting adults and children to the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum. The exhibit occupies a large space inside the museum and is filled with baseball-themed art, including

a 58,000-piece model of Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. There are also portraits of famous major league players built out of Legos, and a model of Milwaukee’s Miller Park with a retractable roof. Curator Nathan Stalvey says the “Big Leagues, Little Bricks� exhibit was created just for the Slugger

Museum. Cameron Crossley, an 11-yearold from Pembroke Pines, Fla., was visiting the museum last week and was impressed by the sculptures. Crossley says he would love to have a job building Lego creations when he grows up. The exhibit runs through Labor Day.

Moccia named athletic director of the year TYLER DIXON Daily Egyptian The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics named Southern Illinois University’s athletic director Mario Moccia one of four Under Armour athletic directors of the year. Moccia was chosen by the NACDA in the Football Championship Subdivision along with Bill Chaves from Eastern Washington University, Bruce McCutcheon from Lafayette College and Mark Wilson from

Tennessee Tech University. The committee that selected the winners consisted of past winners of the award and past presidents of the NACDA. “I think it’s a nice recognition for the institution,� Moccia said. Moccia graduated from New Mexico State University in 1989 and played professional baseball for two years. He started his career at the University of New Mexico as the director of sales, then moved to Southwest Texas University as associate athletic director for

external operations. Before coming to SIU, Moccia was the senior associate athletic director at the University of Missouri Columbia for seven years. When Moccia was named athletic director at SIU in 2006, he helped finish the plans for Saluki Way and develop the plans for the Abe Martin Field facelift, which will occur in the next few months. Head softball coach Kerri Blaylock, one of the most successful head coaches at SIU with an overall record of 513252, has seen three different athletic

directors in her 14 years as head coach. “Moccia’s given us the opportunity to win because of facilities and because of the Under Armour contract,� Blaylock said. Head basketball coach Barry Hinson said he has worked with four athletic directors throughout his career and in less than two years at SIU, thinks highly of Moccia. “I’d have to say (Moccia) is one of, if not the best, I’ve had the opportunity to work for,� Hinson said. After traveling to Orlando to

receive his award last week, Moccia said he is looking forward to the Sept. 21 football game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis where SIU will play the Southeast Missouri State University Redhawks. “There are very few special opportunities at the (Football Champion Subdivision) level,� Moccia said. “It’s an opportunity for a mini bowl game.� Tyler Dixon can be reached at tdixon@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 259.

James, Heat beats Spurs 103-100 in OT; Game 7 next BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press LeBron James saved a championship reign, canceled a celebration. The toughest part now might be topping this performance in Game 7. “It’s by far the best game I’ve ever been a part of,� James said. He wouldn’t let the Miami Heat lose it — or their NBA title. If the San Antonio Spurs want that, they’ll have to fight just a little harder to get it. One last game, winner take all. James powered Miami to a frantic fourth-quarter rally and overtime escape as the Heat beat the Spurs 103-100 on Tuesday night to extend the NBA Finals as far as they can go and keep Miami’s repeat chances alive. Losing his headband but keeping his cool while playing the entire second half and overtime, James finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, making the go-ahead basket with 1:43 remaining in the extra period. So close to being eliminated that they noticed officials bringing yellow tape out to block off the court for

the Spurs’ trophy presentation, the Heat hit a couple of big 3-pointers, got some defensive stops, and did everything else that makes great teams champions. “We seen the championship board already out there, the yellow tape. And you know, that’s why you play the game to the final buzzer,� James said. “And that’s what we did tonight. We gave it everything that we had and more.� Tim Duncan scored 30 points for the Spurs, his most in an NBA Finals game since Game 1 in 2003, but was shut out after the third quarter. He added 17 rebounds. Game 7 will be here Thursday, the NBA’s first do-or-die matchup to determine its champion since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010. “They’re the best two words in sports: Game 7,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. And two the Spurs were oh-soclose to avoiding. They looked headed to a fifth title in five chances when they built a 13-point lead with under 4 minutes left in the third quarter, then grabbed a five-point edge with 28 seconds left in regulation after blowing the lead. But James hit a 3-pointer and

Ray Allen tied it with another. Just 5.2 seconds remained in regulation. The Heat were that close to the edge. “It’s a tough moment. We were a few seconds away from winning the championship and we let it go,� Spurs veteran Manu Ginobili said. “A couple rebounds we didn’t catch, a tough 3 by Ray and a couple missed free throws. It’s a very tough moment.� James was just 3 of 12 after three quarters, the Heat trailing by 10 and frustration apparent among the players and panic setting in among the fans. Nothing to worry about. Not with James playing like this. He finished 11 of 26, even making a steal after his basket had given Miami a 101-100 edge in the OT. Somewhere in there, early in the fourth quarter, James lost his familiar headband. He couldn’t remember exactly when or how. Nor was it particularly important to him. Losing the game would have been far worse. “I guess the headband was the least of my worries at that point,�

James said. Before that, he had been 12 minutes from hearing the familiar criticisms about not being able to get it done, from having to watch a team celebrate on his home floor again. Then he changed the game and erased that story. The Heat, who haven’t lost consecutive games since Jan. 8 and 10, had too much defense and way too much James for the Spurs in the final 17 minutes. They are trying to become fourth team to win the final two games at home since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the finals in 1985. James came in averaging 31.5 points in elimination games, highest in NBA history, according to a stat provided through the NBA by the Elias Sports Bureau. This wasn’t quite the 45-point performance in Game 6 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals in Boston, but given the higher stakes may go down as more important — if the Heat follow it with another victory Thursday. The Heat were in the same place as they were in 2011 at the end of their Big Three’s first season together,

coming home from Texas facing a 3-2 deficit in the finals. This is a different team. And oh, what a different James. “He just plays with great force,� Allen said. The Heat said they welcomed this challenge, a chance to show they how much mentally tougher they were than the team the Dallas Mavericks easily handled in Game 6 that night. James made sure they did, looking nothing like the player who was so bad in the fourth quarters during that series. He was simply unstoppable down the stretch of this one. “He just made plays. I don’t think there’s any two ways to put it,� Duncan said. “We were in the right position to close it out and he found a way to put his team over the top and we just didn’t make enough plays to do that.� Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs. Tony Parker had 19 points and eight assists, but shot just 6 of 23 from the field. The Spurs had one final chance down 103-100, but Chris Bosh blocked Danny Green’s 3-pointer from the corner as time expired.

Saluki basketball players celebrate on the bench during a 57-54 win Nov. 28 against Fresno State at SIU Arena. The men’s basketball team, along with all SIU athletic teams, passed the NCAA Academic Progress Rate testing, which allows them to participate in post-season play. Teams are required to maintain a score of 900 out of 1,000 in order to be eligible for the postseason. The men’s basketball team scored 904, the lowest of all the Saluki athletic teams, and will follow the NCAA Academic Performance Program Improvement Plan since their score was under 930 again this year.

Saluki Athletics pass APR tests eligible. The men’s basketball team finished with a 904 multiyear rate, which is an average of scores from the 2008-2012 academic years, according to the NCAA Division I APR Institutional Report. The team scored 908 last season and was required to follow the NCAA Academic Performance Program Improvement Plan since the score was under 930. This season, the team will have to follow the institution’s plan once again. Head coach Barry Hinson said the team was already instituted when he

TYLER DIXON Daily Egyptian Saluki fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the upcoming sports seasons. Every team passed the NCAA Academic Progress Rate testing, which allows teams to participate in post-season play. The NCAA requires teams to maintain a score of at least 900 out of 1,000 on the test, which is determined by the amount of athletes receiving scholarship or aid and if those students remain academically

arrived last spring. Last season, the team’s grade point average for the academic year was 2.812, which was fifth highest in team history. Hinson said the restrictions his team could have faced if it failed to pass the tests could have been detrimental to the team and the upcoming season. “To say that I’ve been stressed would be a minimum statement,” Hinson said. Head athletic director Mario Moccia said he is relieved that no teams will face post-season bans.

“I’m very happy that all the programs made the benchmark,” he said. “But you just don’t want to meet the benchmark, you want to tremendously exceed the benchmark.” The women’s softball team had the highest APR in the school, scoring a 996. Head softball coach Kerri Blaylock said her teams could vary between a 3.4 to a 3.6 grade point average. “We really stress academics as well as athletics,” Blaylock said. During softball players’ freshmen year, they are required by Blaylock to attend a study table, an organized

study session. While Blaylock’s players are not required to attend study tables after their first year, she said her players are so competitive they voluntarily use the services. Although every team passed the APR tests, Moccia said academics always come first. “Academics are a constant top-ofmind thing up until we truly get out of the weeds,” Moccia said.
