Rally against budget cuts reveals resistance sam beard | @SamBeard_DE

The sun beat down on more than 240 people at the Rally Against Bruce Rauner’s Budget Cuts at noon Wednesday in front of Morris Library.

At a town hall meeting the morning before the protest, SIU President Randy Dunn said he hoped the rally would be a big one, urging more political involvement from the community.

The rally was organized by all four SIU unions — three employee unions and one student union — on campus and drew awareness to the people hurt by the governor’s proposed cuts, organizer Johnathan Flowers said. Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget would cut social services, including higher education, and has led to the university sending potential layoff notices to faculty members and graduate assistants.

If passed, the governor’s budget would withhold an unprecedented $387 million from Illinois state universities next year, equating to a $44 million slash in state appropriations to SIU. The governor’s proposed cuts would put hundreds of thousands of citizens at risk, said Flowers, a doctoral candidate in philosophy form Oak Park.

Messages like “Proud Union Member,” “Don’t Cut Students” and “I Love Illinois, Don’t You?” plastered homemade protest signs raised in opposition to the the cuts. Protestors championed school funding, unions and education as a human right. Some said the governor should raise taxes on the wealthy as opposed to a idan O sbOrne | @AidanOsborne_DE cutting the social support services of the poor.

Man charged in death of SIUE student Taylor Clark

President Dunn speaks out at town hall meeting

st. lOuis pOst dispatch

At Wednesday’s town hall meeting, President Randy Dunn spoke of the potential budget crisis, running through scenarios that may become reality if Gov. Bruce Rauner gets his way.

The town hall meetings and talk of funding woes are a result of the governor’s cuts to higher education, proposed in his Feb. 18 budget address, which he said will balance the state’s finances.

If passed, Rauner’s budget would take $62 million of state appropriated money from the SIU system — equating to a $44 million cut to the Carbondale campus.

Two more town hall meetings are scheduled for 2 to 3 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m. Thursday in the Student Center Auditorium.

The town hall meetings offer community members an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns on the proposed cuts, which could devastate the university and Carbondale, Dunn said.

He speculated on SIU’s financial

Police have charged a suspect in the fatal shooting of Taylor Clark, they announced at a press conference Wednesday night.

The suspect is Michael Gordon, 24.

He is an employee of the MTC truck driver training center in Hazelwood, where Clark’s car and body were found.

The two had met through a Craigslist ad that Clark had placed about the sale of his car, Florissant Police Capt. Tim Fagan said.

A college student from St. Jacob was shot to death by a man he connected with through a Craigslist car ad, a police source said.

The body of Taylor S. Clark, a 19-year-old student at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, was found Tuesday in a shallow grave in Hazelwood, near his abandoned car, according to the police source. Authorities have a suspect in custody and believe the man acted alone, the source said.

Clark was reported missing by relatives Monday night.

During a press conference on

Wednesday, Florissant Police Capt.

Tim Fagan would not confirm where Clark’s body was found, and he denied that anyone was in custody. Fagan, who is heading the Major Case Squad investigation of Clark’s death, said only that Clark’s body had been found and that the case was a homicide investigation.

He would not say whether police believed the Craigslist ad placed by Clark was connected to his death, but said police were “concerned” about the information. His family told investigators Clark had listed his car for sale on the site, and spoken to someone Monday morning about the ad. Authorities aren’t sure if Clark met anyone to discuss selling the car, a red 2007 Nissan 350ZX. Clark’s car was found Tuesday evening on the lot of a truck driver training center in the 12000 block of Missouri Bottom Road in Hazelwood, near Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. The body was found not far from there.

Clark, of the 400 block of West Fifth Street in St. Jacob, was last seen by his

girlfriend in Glen Carbon about 10:30 a.m. Monday after he finished taking exams at SIUE. Clark was a sophomore in the School of Engineering.

Cellphone records indicate Clark’s phone was near the St. Louis Outlet Mall, formerly the St. Louis Mills, in Hazelwood about 11:37 a.m. Monday.

The lot where the car was found is 2 miles from the St. Louis Outlet Mall.

A memorial page for Clark was set up on Facebook Tuesday night.

Friends held a candlelight vigil for Clark Tuesday night and planned another one Wednesday night.

Friends who knew him posted on the page that Clark was warm and caring, had a wonderful smile, and was always helpful. On his own Twitter account, Clark posted numerous photos of his car and modifications he made to it.

On April 1, he posted, “I want a GTO, someone buy my car.” His last tweet was April 6, when he wrote: “Love watching people stare at my car as they walk by.”

A man who answered the phone at Clark’s home in St. Jacob Wednesday declined to comment.

future, as nothing is certain and the revised state budget will not be passed until later this summer. In planning for potential future cuts, the university is constructing possible courses of action.

However, Dunn said the university is combating the proposed cuts, which would set state funding for SIU back to a mid-1980s level.

“If the state budget cut is only 3 percent, you won’t feel it,” Dunn said.

“If it’s a [$44 million] dollar cut — you will not recognize this place.”

He said the potential cuts will not be easily mitigated.

“Every campus — and we are no different — always has a couple of million sloshing around,” Dunn said.

“We don’t have [$44] million sloshing around, or even half that, or even a fourth of that.”

If the university only made up the funds by raising the cost of attendance, tuition would go up 90 percent, Dunn said. However, he assured the audience that will not happen.

“He is endangering the future of Illinois with these budget cuts,” Flowers said. “It affects the future leaders of Illinois, the future leaders of the United States.”

Jessica Hays, a freshman from Bozeman, Mont., studying forestry and photography, said she came to SIU because of Touch of Nature Environmental Center and WSIU. She was protesting because those two units are facing a potential 50 percent cut in state funding.

“If we lose both of those I will be leaving SIU,” Hays said. “You need more than a degree — you need experience and you need an opportunity.”

The crowd was not limited to those associated with the university as community members and city officials also attended.

Carbondale Mayor Mike Henry was first scheduled speaker and said the city of Carbondale stands with the protestors.“I’ve been calling this a perfect

storm — the budget cuts to the school and to the Amtrack services,” Henry said. “No one deserves this.”

If Rauner’s budget is approved, Amtrak funding would be decreased by $16 million, eliminating two daily trains to Chicago. At the town hall meeting, Dunn said the university plans to fight the Amtrak cuts.

Former Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon did not make her scheduled appearance.

After the event, a group of about 20 continued the discussion, elaborating on the history of similar movements.

Measures like Rauner’s cut do not lie along party lines, said Nick Smaligo, a doctoral candidate in philosophy from Carbondale.

“This kind of stuff is called austerity,” Smaligo said. “Which is when politicians and wealthy people try to solve their economic problems by cutting funds and services from poorer people.”

People in the group talked about the 1970 protest at SIU, which received national attention and caused the spring semester to end in March.

the student revolts in the ‘70s,” he said.

“This was a specific strategy enforced by former California Gov. Ronald Regan who was elected on the platform of ‘cleaning up that mess in Berkley.’”

Reagan was referring to similar protests sweeping California at the time.

He said political strategies of that time were to raise tuition and change the nature of the university itself.

“The university shifted it’s focus from a place where people go and discuss what’s going on, to being a place where you go for job training,” he said. “The point there is that these kids need to think about getting a job and nothing else.”

The governor’s proposed budget cuts endanger higher education’s mission, which is to create responsible citizens of the world, Flowers said.

“Once we realize that the politicians aren’t representing us, is when we start looking to one another and start organizing things that have the capacity to be effective,” Smaligo said.

Cuts could split Continuing Education shawn Bowen | @ShawnBowen_DE Continuing Education and Outreach, an oncampus department that focuses on the Carbondale community, joins a long list of SIU divisions that could be significantly altered if Gov. Bruce Rauner’s state budget proposal is passed.

From summertime aviation camps to online technology classes, Continuing Education and Outreach provides non-university students, or those who are not enrolled in courses for credits, with programs to continue their educations.

Rauner’s proposed budget would cut 31.5 percent, or $44 million, in state funding from Carbondale’s campus.

In preparation for the possible cut, SIU President Randy Dunn asked self-supporting departments

to indicate what effect a 50 percent cut in state funding would have on their departments.

Kathy Smith, a coordinator for Continuing Education and Outreach, said there have been discussions about re-distributing the staff if the budget proposal passes, but nothing is official.

She said if the staff was re-distributed, they would continue to work the way they do now, but would be working under the umbrella of a different department.

“For example, if some of us would move over to the Student Center, then the Student Center would take on the staff and have to figure out how to pay for the staff,” Smith said. “And then the revenue that they would generate through the activities they create would then be credited to the Student Center.”

Smith said the revenue generated by the

department is enough to cover operating costs, but not all of the department’s salaries. State funding is needed to fill the gap.

“Being an auxiliary, this office’s main goal has always been to be self-sustaining — to make enough money for operating costs as well as salaries — that’s easier said than done,” Smith said.

Karen Stallman, Continuing Education and Outreach director, said in an email she is not anticipating staff cuts. She said if significant funding is cut from her department, it plans to increase the number of programs it offers, creating more revenue and lessening the burden of the cuts.

“That’s always in the back of our minds,” Smith said. “What else can we do? What else can we offer that can generate some money and what can we do that is going to generate significant money?”

However, the Board of Trustees approved a 5 percent tuition increase in April, amounting to an increase of $163.38 per semester for incoming students.

Dunn said there is discussion in Springfield that would delegate state funding of universities based on the school’s performance.

“This is not new money,” Dunn said. “This is taking a piece of the money that we’ve had appropriated to us over the years, pulling that off and saying to all the institutions: “Oh, by the way, we’ll let you access this if grades improve, if your graduation rate improves, if

The best way the department can generate additional revenue is by offering more non-credit online courses, Smith said. It currently offers courses on SAT and ACT preparation, Photoshop, Microsoft Excel, among others. Classes cost $94 and last six weeks.

Smith said although the department has no direct effect on students currently enrolled at the university, the relationship the department creates between parents and the university during summer camps is important to a healthy SIU. Along with camps and non-credit classes, the department also helps to coordinate many of the conferences that take place on campus.

this, if that.”

He said this, in conjunction with the cuts in state support, would put Illinois state schools in a vice.

He said the university can be imagined as a core surrounded by rings — with the outermost rings being the least critical to the university’s mission.

If cuts need to be made, the outermost rings will be first to receive cuts, as they are least central to the university.

However, even if every state dollar was cut from both rings that surround the core, such as non-academic services or research opportunities, that would amount to $9 million and the university would still need to cut $35 million.

The article in Wednesday’s DAILY EGYPTIAN titled, “Nepal fundraiser to be held in Gaia House should have read “The Nepal dinner fundraiser will be held at 6 p.m. May 13 at the Gaia house.”

The outermost ring includes, among other things, hands-on learning programs like Touch of Nature, WSIU and others that compliment the classroom by providing experience for students in that course study.

“You can’t be a research university without research centers, by definition of what we do” Dunn said.

Dunn said there is only so much the university can do to prepare for cuts like this.

However, he urged political involvement and events similar to Wednesday’s rally against budget cuts.

“We need your help in building political action — we must have a drum beat going,” he said. “You have this opportunity to assist us, and this is the time to be doing that.”

The cutline for the front page photo in Wednesday’s DAILY EGYPTIAN should have identified Maurine Pyle as a traveling minister.

Archnemsis concludes tou Chase Myers | @ChaseMyers_De

A combination of an intricate arrangement of sounds and exuberant lights is expected at an electronic music show, but beneath the excitement lies a frequently unappreciated art form.

Curt Heiny, or Archnemesis, is a South Carolina artist who strays from the overused samples and bass drops of popular electronic dance music.

Archnemesis will perform at 10 p.m. on Saturday at Hangar 9, ending a six-month tour. The show will include Medusa as an opening act.

Heiny is a classically trained musician who played cello throughout high school, adopting a passion for jazz theory and composition while attending the University of North Carolina.

He segued into electronic music after picking up electric bass and gaining a better understanding of music production software, Heiny said.

“You’d be surprised how many

Diamonds and Glass EP in 2010, a fan favorite, which gave the world a rough introduction to his signature sound.

He said he describes his sound as funky electronic music with hip-hop beats, sampling early funk tracks and including various live instrumentals.

“When Archnemesis started … there was no one else doing it,” he said. “There were none of these artists that people refer to as ‘electric soul’ now.”

During the last five years, his sound has remained true to his original vision, but his production has improved, allowing him to venture to try new things, he said.

He said he likes to keep things fresh by remixing popular tracks, like Fetty Wap’s hit single, “Trap Queen.”

Like with most musicians, a sound change resonates with some fans, but turns others away, like a group at a Colorado show who left the venue after hearing new music.

The end of the semester ignites reminiscing.

The Advanced Spotlight will help the department of communication studies do a little remembering of its own at 8 p.m. on Saturday at The Marion Kleinau Theatre.

The department is holding the Advanced Spotlight, an event displaying various performances from classes in speech communication.

Performances can be anything from personal narrative and literature to experimental pieces.

The show will feature both graduate and undergraduate students and will host end-ofthe-year awards after the acts.

Jonathan Gray, an associate professor of communication studies, said the spotlight displays acts from advanced level classes at the 300 and 400 level. It is a biannual event, the awards always being held during spring.

Oftentimes teachers keep in mind particular acts from the beginning of the semester and

have to convince students to return to the piece months later.

“It is a little bit unnerving,” Gray said. “We try to work with it and imagine, ‘What do you need to do to make this fit in the Kleinau Theatre?’”

The number of students who participate varies on the classes being taught and the adaptability of performances in the class to the Kleinau. Gray said he tries to pick a piece that will perfectly represent his class and what he is trying to get out of it.

“It creates a real beautiful end to the semester,” he said. “It always feels a little bit exhausting to me, but it is like a ritual closing of the year.”

Nathan Stucky, a professor and chair of the department of communication studies, said many instructors pick a piece from appropriate material given in class. This is not the case for each professor; some let the students vote on the best work.

These performers work hard all throughout the semester. Not

everyone gets a chance to present at Kleinau, and this hour is a chance to share with a bigger audience and get feedback on an act, he said.

“It is kind of nice to be able to share your work with a larger audience than just the class,” Stucky said. “They just have a broader expositor to the show.”

Caryle Schweska, a graduate student in performance studies from Sterling, said her act is based on a master’s project involving student veterans. This topic is personal to Schweska as she is also a student veteran. Her research started out as interviewing more than a dozen students, then she would transcribe the talks, and memorize them.

She took down the people’s inflections and weird traits and then pieced seven interviews together to form one large performance. The experience got her closer to what many student veterans go through.

“The object is to better understand and describe their journeys,” she said.

J.J. Ceniceros, a graduate student in communication studies from

Perryton, Texas, said he will be performing an untitled piece about race, stereotypes and masculinity.

The presentation is based around the idea of a “cholo”, a word related to a Mexican gangster.

It will use personal anecdotes, along with professional research to tell the story of a specific “cholo,” he said.

“Whenever I was younger I sort of identified with this subculture,” He said. “This is something I gravitated to, something I took interest in.”

The subject comes in and talks directly to the audience, Ceniceros said. He notices the crowd is not tough enough, not gangster enough.

So he goes through a step-by-step process on how to become a “cholo.”

After the performances are finished, awards will be given out, Gray said. The prizes include the Telka Story Award, awarded to an outstanding undergraduate student, and the Marion Kleinau award, awarded to the an outstanding graduate student.

The Advance Spotlight will be free to everyone.

Softball Superlatives Not quite an ESPY, but better than nothing BrenT Meske | @brentmeskeDE The Saluki softball team finished fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference this season and plays its first tournament game Thursday in Wichita, Kan. Here are my 2015 Saluki Softball awards:

Most Valuable Player: Kalyn Harker, CF, Senior

This award is no contest. Not only did Harker win the MVC batting title with a .466 average in Valley games, she finished with a team high in batting average, runs, hits and doubles.

Harker was deadly in the batter’s box and lethal in the outfield. As a center fielder, Harker was responsible for running the show, and she did. Harker has the speed to track down most balls in the gaps and her glove is responsible enough to make the catch. Harker had only 2 errors in 46 games started.

Offensively, look for the returning Salukis to step up in her absence. Defensively, sophomore left fielder Merri Anne Patterson is the clear choice to switch to center.

Offensive Player of the Year: Merri Anne Patterson, LF, Sophomore

B renT M eske | @ BrenTMeske de Sophomore pitcher Shaye Harre delivers a pitch in the first inning of a canceled game against the University of Tennessee at Martin on April 21. The Salukis finished the season at No. 5 in the Missouri Valley Conference and will play Indiana State at 9:30 a.m. Thursday for the first game of the MVC Tournament.

Saluki softball heads to Wichita for MVC Tournament BrenT Meske| @brentmeskeDE

SIU softball (21-25-1, 15-11) finished the season fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference and begins tournament play at 11 a.m. Thursday against eighth-ranked Indiana State (22-29, 13-13).

Eight of the ten teams make the tournament.

The Salukis and Sycamores played twice on April 26 after the previous day’s game was canceled for weather.

Indiana State took the first game 5-1 before SIU battled back in game two for an eighth-inning, 7-6 win.

In game one, senior pitcher Katie Bertelsen suffered the loss while Sycamore junior pitcher Taylor Lockwood earned the win with 1 run allowed on 4 hits, 7 strikeouts and 1 walk.

In game two, SIU rallied from a 6-run deficit. Sophomore catcher Jessa Thomas contributed 4 RBIs including a bases-clearing double.

The Sycamores finished third in the Valley with a .284 team batting average

compared to the Salukis’ ninth best .255. They also finished with a better team ERA and fielding percentage.

Indiana State senior utility player Megan Stone finished the season with a .400 batting average, second best in the league, against all teams. Saluki senior center fielder Kalyn Harker won the MVC batting title with a Valley batting average of .466 against conference teams.

The winner of the game will face No. 3 seed Wichita State. The Salukis swept the Shockers in the second MVC series of the year beginning March 21.

SIU won each game by 1 run.

SIU has made the conference tournament in 32 of its 33 years and has won at least one game in 23 of those years. The Salukis won their last, and only, MVC title in 1991.

This is Indiana State’s first MVC Tournament appearance since 2009.

In its tournament history, SIU has played 94 games. Nearly half have been decided by 1 run and SIU is 1924 in those games.

While Harker built a great season, Patterson was second with a .321 batting average.

Not only did she finish second in runs, hits and doubles, she was top-5 in doubles, home runs and RBIs. She led the team with a .534 slugging percentage and tied for the team lead with 70 total bases.

Patterson was also an integral part of the Salukis calling themselves the comeback kids. On March 21, Patterson hit a solo home run in the sixth inning giving SIU a 4-3 win. On April 4, Patterson hit a go-ahead double in the seventh to put SIU ahead for a 4-2 win.

Most Underrated: Brook Womack, 3B/SS, Sophomore

Womack is a player easy to forget about because she is quietly consistent. She started 43 games and played in all but two this year batting .250 with 15 runs, 12 extra base hits and 19 RBIs. Defensively, Womack had 8 errors, a stat she needs to improve going forward. That is not to say she was disappointing however, as she made unexpected plays through the year.

If Womack keeps batting well and betters her defense, she will be a steady fixture in the Saluki lineup for upcoming seasons.

Co-Defensive Players of the Year: Kalyn Harker and Merri Anne Patterson

It’s only fair to split the defensive award between the left fielder and center fielder who kept runners from taking liberties all year long.

Patterson shut down runners hoping to tag up or stretch an extra base hit with her canon disguised as a right arm.

Meanwhile, Harker used speed to track down more fly balls than most would have.

Dual-Threat: Shaye Harre, 1B/P, Sophomore

Not only did Harre have the third best batting average on the team — .292 — she was a fixture at first base and in the pitcher’s circle.

Harre often launches home runs well over the right field wall in practice. It is just batting practice, but the promise it shows is intriguing.

If Harre can wait on her pitch next year, she’ll hit far more than the 5 home runs she had this season.

With senior pitcher Katie Bertelsen graduating, look for more of Harre in the circle in the upcoming seasons.

Breakout Player: Sydney Jones, C/3B, Freshman

Coaches always say their recruits are the next best thing for the program but coach Kerri Blaylock was not kidding about Jones. She finished the season fifth on the team with a .268 batting average.

It was few-and-far-between Jones did not contribute offensively and she was a solid bet to connect bat to ball every game.

Jones played two of the most difficult positions on the field well, and was one of two Salukis to start all 47 games.

Comeback of the Year: Meredith Wilson, RF, Senior

Wilson made the best of a bad situation this season coming back from a March 21 ankle injury. She batted .157 before injury and .333 after returning April 3, finishing the year with a .235 batting average.

I would not have given an award to Wilson before the injury, but her comeback and turn-around made her deserving.

Projected lineup for next season: 1. Kelsey Gonzalez, SR, SS 2. Merri Anne Patterson, JR, CF 3. Sydney Jones, SO, C 4. Shaye Harre, JR, 1B 5. Brook Womack, JR, 3B 6. Lacey Newbold, SR, 2B

7. Savannah Fisher, SO, LF 8. Jessica Heese, SO, RF 9. Jessa Thomas, JR, DP Starting Pitcher: Savanna Dover, SO Bench: Taylor Harris, JR, 1B and Caylee Cook, SR, UTIL plus incoming freshmen
