It might be time to move into igloos. SIU students did their best impression of “March of the Penguins” while walking through the frigid temperatures on campus this week, minus the narration by Morgan Freeman. After classes were canceled Monday because of two inches of snow, cold air has made being outside less enjoyable. Forecasts now predict the temperatures to plummet even more.

State funding for Illinois universities will be cut more than 31 percent if Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner gets his way. At his budget address Wednesday, Rauner discussed the ways he plans to fix Illinois’ budget crisis, which Reuters reports is a $6.2 billion structural deficit. One major way Rauner plans to make this happen is by slashing funding for higher education by $387 million next year; about $44 million of which would be taken from SIU’s Carbondale campus, President Randy Dunn said. He said the entire SIU system will take a $60 million hit if approved by the General Assembly. Dunn said public education in Illinois, and maybe the entire country, has never seen a funding cut of this magnitude happen so fast. If approved, the cuts would go into effect July 1. While details of the cuts were unclear, MAP grants will not be affected. Lynne Baker, managing director of communications at the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, said she is happy to hear of this. The commission handles MAP grant funding. Please see BUDGET · 3

Swims has been a member of the church for 12 years, and the pastor for four years. “I’ve done a little bit of everything. I’ve been the janitor and youth pastor,” Swims said. He said the church played an invaluable role during the civil rights movement. “If you look back at the civil rights movement, the church was where people met and received Jesus. It gave them hope and courage to continue on,” Swims said. For the story, please see page 6.

Cap cut: What nine and a half hours means to student workers Ahmad Hicks

@AhicksSports_DE | Daily Egyptian

When going to college, some students dream of moving out of their parents’ homes and into their own apartments. In May, 2014, the university reduced the number of hours a student could work at an SIU job from 29.5 hours to 20 hours. That made this dream hard to achieve for those paying for college with no assistance. Initially the university cited policies relating to the Affordable Care Act as reason for the cap change, but has since sited academic success as reason to keep it. “For some students, student employment is their only income,” said Luther Porter, a senior from Du Quoin studying history and psychology. Porter, who works as an operations and maintenance member at the Student Center, said he planned to move out of his parents’ house before the cap was implemented. Most student employees start out making $8.25 per hour, the state’s minimum wage. Porter said before SIU instated the cap, he made almost $800 a month, which was ideal for his situation. “When I could work 29.5 hours per week, I had no worries,” Porter said. “I had money to afford books and other needs a college student would have while saving up to move out. That extra nine and a half hours a week really helped.” The cutback in student hours also means a cut in pay. If a student works the sanctioned 20 hours each week, they make about $600 to

e llen b OOth • d Aily e gyptiAn Luther Porter, a senior from Du Quoin studying psychology and history, finishes up the last hour of his workday Tuesday dust moping Student Center Ballroom B.

$700 a month. The cap change diminished Porter’s chance of moving out. The money he earns from student employment is not enough to cover the cost of college expenses. Porter pays for his cell phone bill, car payment, car insurance and gas to commute to school. If he added rent and groceries to that, his monthly expenses would exceed $700. He has trouble getting books at the beginning of some semesters because he does not have enough money to pay for them.

“This semester I have all my books but one,” Porter said. “I’m getting that, next check.” For Porter’s former co-worker Anthony Castaneda, who works at the Student Services Building, affording rent, books and food with the 20-hour work cap is nearly impossible. Castaneda, a senior from Chicago studying video production and sports administration said he has little spending money left after paying for his utility bill, groceries and his half of the $700 per month rent. Castaneda said the extra $200 a month he made before the cutback covered everything else.

Because of the 20-hour cap, Castaneda had to find another source of income. He now works a second job at Fazoli’s, a restaurant on East Main Street. Porter said the cost of getting to and from an off-campus job can be troubling. “Some students have to rule out an offcampus job because they wont have a ride to work and back,” said Porter, who could not find an off-campus job that fit his school schedule. Castaneda works both jobs some days, and said doing so is difficult for a full-time student trying to maintain good grades. “It’s unfair for students because the university is mostly run by students and without students working, the campus would fall apart,” Porter said. Adrian Miller, the campus’ student representative on the SIU Board of Trustees, said the 20-hour cap made life hard for some students. “As a student who also has relied heavily on the income from my student worker position, I know what it’s like to have to go and work a second job just to be able to make ends meet,” said Miller, a senior from Carbondale studying political science. Miller said he is hopeful the cap will change to 25 hours a week. He said he has brought it up to SIU’s administration several times, but is not seeing any progress. “I, like every other student who has to work more than 20 hours a week, know that the current model in place doesn’t work,” Miller said.

So I came out here with a warm croissant and a warm cup of coffee to sit down on a bench and just enjoy the beauty of the day. I don’t think I could live somewhere where there wasn’t a change of seasons,” Brooks said.

WEATHER CONTINUED FROM

WSIL TV’s news station in Carterville reached below zero on Tuesday for the first time since 1996, said one of its meteorologists Nick Hausen. Carbondale’s Wednesday forecast projected between 3 and minus 6 degrees, with wind chills of 15 below, much lower than the February average low of 27. Hausen said Carbondale hit minus 4 in January 2014, which had not happened since 2004. Hausen said the Popsicle-like conditions of this week are not ordinary for southern Illinois. “For us to see two days below

“In light of the challenging budget situation, we were pleased to see that the governor’s proposed budget at least preserves MAP funding at current levels,” Baker said. She said she is not sure what will happen to tuition rates or fees. Dunn said the cuts would significantly change the university’s business model. “[The proposed cuts] would be draconian, and severely detrimental to the operations of the campus as we know them,” Dunn said. He said the nearly one-third slash

zero, consecutively, is somewhat rare,” he said. Cold temperatures may seem like just a hassle, but there are real health issues at stake. With the current forecast, exposed skin would succumb to frostbite in 30 minutes, Hausen said. It is important for people to keep all areas covered with hats, gloves and coats because they can get frostbite sooner then they might think. Several conditions have facilitated the arctic blast from Canada, Hausen said. The first of which is the present snow. From there it all comes down to clouds and wind. Some might think a clear sky would bring warmer air, but that

is not the case. Hausen said clouds act as a blanket, trapping warm air below. Without the clouds, the heat escapes, making people need an actual blanket. People may also assume higher winds decrease the temperature, but Hausen said that is also not the case. Strong winds make people feel colder because it bombards them, but calm winds actually are colder. The wind just mixes air around, not giving it the opportunity to drop, he said. To combat the cold, students made their best burrito impersonation, wrapping themselves in coats, scarves and gloves. However, some students resorted to unconventional

methods to stay warm. Taylor Buley, a freshman from Spring Bay studying zoology, and Sydney Kolb, a junior from Mt. Carmel studying microbiology, huddled around an air vent behind Morris Library Wednesday afternoon. Buley said she hopes the university will cancel classes again. “People living at Thompson Point have to walk all the way across campus, and with the wind chill, it is not going to be good for them at all,” Buley said. Larry Raymond graduated from SIU in 1994 with a degree in atmospheric science and spent 10 years in Green Bay, Wis., as a meteorologist. Raymond has since

moved back to Mulkeytown and runs the website SIWeather.net. Even though he is more than 20 years removed from campus, he knows how cold it can be. “Thompson Point to the Communications Building is not that far, but when it’s that cold, it feels far away,” Raymond said. This weekend’s forecast does not offer much relief for those bothered by winter weather. Hausen said southern Illinois could experience some ice on Friday night. Saturday could bring heavy snow or rain, depending on the temperature. Flooding could be a problem with the frozen ground and melting snow, and Sunday could bring more flurries.

in funding came as a shock. “About a third of state money disappearing under the governor’s proposal was a figure that took your breath away,” Dunn said. Philosophy professor Larry Hickman, director of the Center for Dewey Studies, said cutting funding for higher education is not a good economic policy. Hickman said a decrease in funding could incentivize top professors and researchers to relocate. “Cut funding for higher education by 30 percent, and basically you are going to have a brain drain away from Illinois,” Hickman said. “When I was in graduate school in

the 1960s and ‘70s, state support for higher education in many states was up around 80 percent.” Not only has state funding for colleges decreased in parts of the country, the cost of school is steadily rising, according to the Center of Budget and Policy Priorities. From 2008 to 2014 the average cost of tuition for public colleges and universities in Illinois has increased $2,326, according to the center. “With the increases in college tuition and fees over the years and increasing demand for MAP grants, MAP now serves only about half the applicants who are eligible, and covers only about one-third of

average tuition and fees at a public university in this state,” Baker said. Dunn said he is not in a position to argue with the governor. “What we’ve got to do now as a group of universities is to go to the General Assembly and show that this is part of the investment [in Illinois’ future],” he said. Dunn said the presidents and chancellors for all Illinois state universities will have a conference call Thursday to discuss how to move forward. He said higher education is going to help solve the problems of economic recovery and workforce development. “Don’t think about what we do as

a cost, but as an investment,” Dunn said. “Right now it feels like there is a huge disinvestment in Illinois higher education, and in the long run, that is not going to lead to a good outcome for this state.” When asked what he would say to Rauner, Dunn used a metaphor to explain his thoughts. “It has taken us decades to get into this financial crisis that were are in,” Dunn said. “It becomes very difficult to correct that problem all in one year. I understand the need for all of the state government to take some medicine, but even too much medicine given too quickly can kill the patient. And I worry about that here.”

African-American history seen in black churches Story By Jessica Brown | Photos By Aidan Osborne The expression of African-American faith is rich in culture and has deep, historical roots that touch nearly all branches of Christianity. “The greatest value of community in black churches is so many of the black churches, especially those organized during the times of slavery, were opportunities for people to organize themselves, educate themselves, strengthen one another and plan for liberation without anybody else knowing it,” the Rev. Joseph Brown said. “Those churches are incredibly important to the history of black people in America.”

However, Catholicism—the third-largest denomination of black Christians in the U.S.—is often left out when many think of the African-American community. “People don’t count black Catholics or even recognize they exist in the same way they recognize Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian,” Brown said. Brown, ordained as a Catholic priest in 1972, said much of Catholic theology is compatible with traditional west African theology. Because of this, the ritualistic practices of the Catholic church that capture methods of African-American worship are

culturally-based. This includes the manner in which music, speech and dance are performed in services. Cultural expression does not detract from Catholicism, or vice versa—Brown makes sure of that. “I’m one of those people that helps to plan, organize and coordinate such experiences in the black Catholic church that are as authentically black as they are truly Catholic,” Brown said. Though the cultural basis is the same, what differentiates black Catholic churches from most Protestant denominations is the

highly organized set of rituals. “We have a blessing for everything, we have a prayer for everything,” Brown said. This does not always correlate with the way most Protestant churches conduct their services. Chris Swims, pastor of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Carbondale, said his church puts an emphasis on preaching and singing, with a choir of roughly 20 people. Regardless of the method of worship, he said the goal is the sense in community members share.

“We have a great big melting pot,” Swims said. “We strive to reach people in whatever we’re doing.” Churches are far more diverse now than they were historically, said the Rev. Bob Flannery, a Catholic priest at the Church of St. Francis Xavier. “Unfortunately part of it was segregation,” he said. “[Black people] were not permitted to worship with the white churches.” The formation of black churches also has ties to the fight against slavery. Brown said some early African Methodist Episcopal churches

played a crucial part in the Underground Railroad. “They were organized around helping their brothers and sisters be free,” he said. The churches would appear to be solely for worship, but have false walls with runaway slaves behind them. The people would hide in the walls until they were able to make their escape out of town. Brown said this is one of the many glories in black history and was a contributing factor to establishing feelings of solidarity between patrons of churches today.

Smear, innuendo in the Mayoral race? Jane Adams

City Council Member

I am deeply disappointed in a statement by Mayoral Candidate Mike Henry in the Feb. 16 Daily Egyptian. In a profile, Henry made wild and reckless allegations, unsupported by any facts, concerning my actions toward city staff. Henry alleged that “she [Adams] has criticized all of City Hall. … She has called our routine staff incompetent and not worth the money we pay them” He went on to charge that because staff “don’t like her” [Adams] can’t have “anybody’s ear to talk about suggestions or new initiatives.” I have never said the words he quotes, nor do they reflect my views of our “routine staff,” who I find to be friendly, helpful, and responsive to our residents. I challenge Mr. Henry to show where these alleged remarks were made. Our city’s executive staff are professionals, employed by the city manager to carry out the policies established by this and prior city councils. I have worked very hard over 4 years to maintain this professional relationship, as a review of my blogs and my comments in council will make clear. Carbondale faces many challenges and opportunities. The voters need to learn how we plan to face these challenges and seize the opportunities. I have a strong record of accomplishment that belies

Henry’s charge that I “can’t walk into City Hall and have anybody’s ear to talk about suggestions or new initiatives.” Mayor Monty expressed his confidence in me by appointing me Mayor Pro Tem to act as Mayor in his absence, and we have worked well together on several important issues. Here are a few of the most visible and important initiatives I have shepherded through: I am working closely with the mayor and city staff to develop a wireless downtown network, proposed by the Downtown Advisory Committee. That group is moving forward to incorporate our growing gigabit capable fiber optic network in city planning processes. I successfully advocated for the replacement of a bridge at the bottom of Eason Drive, used by many residents in that neighborhood to walk to Schnucks and other services. Both the previous police chief and the current acting chief strongly supported my “Safe Cities” initiatives which should help reduce crime in Carbondale. The extended stay hotel legislation which I initiated is on the next Planning Commission agenda. It is a first step in adopting Safe Cities codes. I promoted a top-to-bottom management review to make sure that the city administration is as efficient and effective as possible; at the last council meeting the mayor and council instructed the city

manager to include such a review in the FY 2016 budget. I have advocated in council and in my blog for greater city transparency and communication with the public. Development Services has been responsive to this call, instituting an email list that regularly alerts the public to upcoming zoning and code issues and initiatives. These are only some of the most visible initiatives I have accomplished during my tenure as a member of City Council. I have worked with the mayor, fellow council members, and city staff to address numerous other less visible items that provide greater information to Council and the public and that move important legislation and planning processes forward. As I said in a Facebook post earlier today, “This campaign is about letting the voters know our vision for the future of Carbondale and our qualifications for moving Carbondale toward that future. Whoever wins, our government must serve ALL the people of this wonderful city—we ALL must win, though only one candidate can win.” Personal attacks, smears, and innuendo should be the last thing either myself or the other candidate resorts to. It demeans our political process and diverts the voters from learning how we intend to lead Carbondale.

Norwood soars past segregation Aaron Graff

@Aarongraff_DE | Daily Egyptian

It takes a whole village to make change. Bill Norwood became the first black quarterback at SIU and the first AfricanAmerican pilot for United Airlines, but he said he had a lot of help getting there. “We don’t do things alone,” Norwood said. “None of us. And if we don’t have that support system, it becomes more and more difficult and sometimes impossible for some people. I’ve had a good support system.” Norwood said when he went to SIU from 1955 to 1959, outside the university was segregated. He said he and other black players could not go to restaurants downtown. He said the football team would get tickets to see movies after games, but black players were treated differently than white players. “We’d go to the movie and black players had to sit upstairs,” Norwood said. “White players could sit downstairs or upstairs. That’s the last time I went to a movie. I said, ‘Don’t give me any more tickets.’” SIU journalism professor Bill Recktenwald, a friend of Norwood’s, said he remembers going to Kentucky in that time period and seeing segregation signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains. “The ‘50s and ‘60s separation of blacks and whites was so intense,” he said. Recktenwald said it was a big accomplishment to be the quarterback of a football team in the time period. Norwood’s book, “Cleared For Takeoff: A Pilot’s Story of Challenges and Triumphs,” tells how an assistant coach told him he had such speed and good hands that he should be

a flanker back or a split end. Norwood considered it because he valued his education, but his backfield coach, Carmen Piccone said, “Bill, you do not know what he’s trying to do, but I do. If you stop being my quarterback, I will take your scholarship.” Norwood said he threw just 4 passes his senior year of high school. He said the quarterback was used more for catching passes and blocking in the formation used. Former SIU quarterback Gerry Hart was a senior when Norwood came to SIU. Norwood

said Hart took him aside and showed him how to throw a football correctly, something he practiced nearly every day. Norwood led the team to a 7-2 record in 1958 and was inducted into the Saluki Hall of Fame in 1993. “Bill’s imprint has been left here in a number of ways,” interim athletic director Harold Bardo said. “He was an original in terms of being a black quarterback.” After football, Norwood served six years in the Air Force and had a 31-year career with United Airlines.

Relay team uses expired event for future success Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

The 4x800 meter relay may not count when SIU gets to conference, but the runners have used the it to prepare for a different event and broke a longstanding record in the process. On Jan. 31, a mix-match of women’s distance runners set the school record for the relay. Seniors Kelley Gallagher, Mobola Rotibi and Allison Gallo, along with freshman Alexandra Martel, broke the record by less than half a second with a time of 9:09.22. The previous record, set in 1998, was 9:09.60. The 4x800 is no longer an official event in the NCAA, but was once a competitive event in the Missouri Valley Conference and the NCAA. Track and field coach Connie PriceSmith said although the event is not important for NCAA records, it is always exciting to see history made. “It’s always nice to break a record,” she said. “It was something we ran before and it hadn’t been broken for a while.” Distance coach David Beauchem said not running the event frequently makes it hard to find a group that will work well together. “To break it now, when it’s not a primary relay, is a great accomplishment,” he said. “The team that set the record [previously] set it when it was a conference championship and NCAA event.” Beauchem said he knew they could run together after their performances on the cross-country team last fall. Gallo said it was exciting to set the record because the team had only run the

“Whenever you’re the first—first of your gender or first of your race—it puts a little bit more pressure on the professional job you perform,” Norwood said. “A lot of people didn’t want any African-American pilots.” When he retired, his name was painted on the 727 airplane he used to fly. The plane is now in the “Take Flight” exhibit in the Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. Recktenwald said the plane was stripped of unnecessary parts and landed at Meigs Field in Chicago. It was then put onto a barge and taken down Lake Michigan to 55th Street. They then rolled it to the museum. Norwood helped form the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals in 1976 and was inducted into the Illinois Aviation Hall of Fame in 2007. Since he retired in 1996, Norwood has visited southern Illinois multiple times. He said it is a lot better for race relations than when he graduated. Norwood said Black History Month is a time to celebrate historical achievements that once were relegated to the back page. He said it is important, but America should have an awareness year, celebrating all cultures and each group's contributions, instead of Black History Month. While he has been recognized by a lot of people during Black History Month, Norwood gives credit to the people who helped him get where he is today. Recktenwald said Norwood is a guy who will remember you after meeting you once. Bardo said Norwood and his wife Molly are helping SIU students reach milestones by providing scholarships. For those interested in learning more on Norwood, his book can be found online at barnesandnoble.com or Amazon.com.

event one other time in last year’s outdoor season. “We don’t practice anything with batons or relay,” she said. “For an 800-meter event we just focus more on speed, and since it was early in the season, we never trained for it.” Gallagher, who typically runs the mile and 5k events, said she had not run this distance since high school but relied on her teammates through the event. She said the pace was faster than what she was used to and she tried to stay with the pack as the lead runner. Beauchem said he focused on secondary events during the second day of the Indiana Relays, held at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., including the 4x800. “We thought we had a chance at the record just based on their personal bests,” he said. “With the history here, there are

no school records that aren’t significant.” Beauchem said the team had run together in the distance medley, and will all be considered for the distance medley relay at the conference championships. Rotibi said the success on the relay will translate to success in future events. “It’s comforting that our distance medley will be good,” she said. “We work together well so we’ll know strengths and weakness going into that event.” Martel said she had experience with distance relays from high school. During her senior year at Lane Tech High School, her 4x800 meter relay team qualified for nationals. “My coach loved mid-distance events,” she said. “The 4x800 team was a big part of our team dynamic and I loved running it.” The team will likely not compete in the 4x800 event again this season.
