Faculty Association sets strike date Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association to decide today SARAH SCHNEIDER Daily Egyptian Tenure and tenure-track faculty members represented by the Faculty Association will go on strike in two weeks if a settlement is not reached. The Departmental Representatives Council — the governing body for the Faculty Association — voted Thursday, 29 to one, in favor of a strike Nov. 3. “Strike is always a means of getting an agreement,� said Dave Johnson, DRC chair, after the vote

count was tallied. “If we can get an agreement, that would be our preference by far.� While faculty members are not obligated to strike, they will have to cross the picket line if they choose not to. The House of Delegates — the governing body for the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association — will discuss today if and when they will set a strike date, said NTTFA President Anita Stoner. Graduate assistants, faculty and staff represented by Illinois Education Association unions have been without contracts since June 2010, when their previous contracts
—Dave Johnson Departmental Representatives Council
ended. From Sept. 27 to Oct. 5, dues-paying members of the unions voted and authorized a strike date to be set if no further progress was made toward a settlement. The vote was the last legal step toward a strike. A press release from the FA stated university administrators chose to shut down negotiations in spring of 2011, imposing a set of demands on the faculty. “Negotiations resumed over the summer, but very little progress was made, leading FA members to vote on Sept. 28, by an overwhelming margin to authorize their elected representatives ... to initiate a
strike,� the release said. FA President Randy Hughes said the union and the administration bargaining teams have met almost every day for two weeks since voting to authorize a strike date, but little progress has been made with certain issues. He said the key issues have been narrowed down, but could not go into detail because it would give too much insight. “I want those issues to be resolved at the table,� he said. The press release said in order to resolve issues, the union offered to postpone resolution in areas such as conflict of interest policy and a
revision of the sexual harassment procedure if the issues could be bargained to a resolution in a set time frame. Johnson said although there has been increased frequency in meetings and some productive conversation, there has been no major progress on issues that divide the two sides. Hughes said Tuesday there has been a change in what is happening at the bargaining table. “We thought for a long time very little was productive, and I can’t say any progress has been made when it comes to the very key issues and concerns that are preventing us to a settlement, but we haven’t seen nearly enough progress on those key concepts,� he said. “What we do have is more productive and we have more narrowly isolated the issues that need to be resolved.� Please see STRIKE | 2
Mayor would like to see routes on Highways 13, 51 Fritzler in favor of bike lanes downtown ELI MILEUR Daily Egyptian Riding a bike through downtown may get easier if new routes are put along Carbondale’s main thoroughfares. “It makes it a little safer if you have that white line painted with little bikes there,� Mayor Joel Fritzler said. Fritzler said he wants to put more commuter bike trails in the city, particularly along U.S. Route 51 and Highway 13, which would include Walnut and Main Streets, and Illinois and University Avenues. He said there aren’t currently any concrete plans, but he’s mentioned it to the Illinois Department of Transportation, which seemed receptive. He said plans for the routes were shot down in the past. Bike lanes are typically installed when other work is being done to a road, said Tom Ridgell, spokesman for IDOT. There isn’t any work planned for 51 or 13 in IDOT’s 2017 Multi-Year Plan, the blueprint for upcoming road projects, Ridgell said. However, the department’s always willing to work with communities to make plans, and there’s potential to work bike routes into it, he said.

Ryan Grumberg, a graduate student in philosophy from Carbondale, repairs a bike wheel Wednesday at The Bike Surgeon in Carbondale. Mayor Joel Fritzler said he is interested in adding bike routes on
U.S. Route 51 and Highway 13 through Carbondale, though he said no steps have been taken to start building. Grumberg said he believes extending the bike paths is a great idea.
There are currently several city-designated bike routes in Carbondale. Poplar Street among others has a bike route, but the city’s

STRIKE CONTINUED FROM

Chancellor Rita Cheng said the unions should bargain in good faith and not pose strike threats. “It feels disingenuous to me to have people sitting at the bargaining table and then the next hour giving us a letter saying they are thinking about a strike date,” she said. Language has been discussed in the Reduction in Force article of the contract, but Hughes said the association wants something in writing. Cheng said there is a lot of misinformation about tenure.

Losing parking on Illinois Avenue would not be a big loss, said Meghan Cole, executive director of Carbondale Main Street. She said some people might complain about having to walk a little farther from their cars, but that’s not unusual for a city. Cole said people already ride their bikes downtown, but it would be safer with designated routes. She said the issue is brought up at Main Street board meetings and everyone agrees it would be a good idea. Biking has a number of advantages, which includes saving money that would be going into a car, said Ryan Grumberg, a graduate student in

Cheng said layoffs would only happen in the state of financial exigency, however Hughes said those words were not in the current proposal. “We are following all of the AAUP guidelines and what we have in our proposals follow peer institutions,” she said. Stoner said a settlement would come faster if the union were to go on strike. “We have been asking for a week for
another meeting or to have a response come back in writing,” she said. “We got word (Thursday) that we will hopefully get something for Tuesday, but that, to me, is a discouraging pace and I would like to get this over with,” she said. “I think everyone wants to get this over with.” Leaders from the Graduate Assistants United and the Association of Civil Service Employees did not respond to numerous phone calls Thursday for comment.
philosophy from Carbondale. “I don’t even know how much gas costs right now,” he said. Despite the advantages, it can take a little experience to bike the streets, Grumberg said. Experienced cyclists typically don’t have a problem riding on the road, where they legally belong, but less confident ones might take to the sidewalk without a designated route, he said. Grumberg, who works at The Bike Surgeon, said he rides in town all the time but typically avoids 13 and 51. He takes longer routes so he doesn’t have to worry about motorists, he said. “It would be nice if we had bike routes to stay away from traffic,” he said. “When I’m on 51, people
question what the hell I’m doing there.” Chris Enright, of Carbondale, said he lived in Boulder, Colo., where drivers are much more responsive to cyclists. However, he said he actually prefers Carbondale, where the relationship between cyclists and motorists isn’t always as amicable. “Some people in Carbondale aren’t going to give you an inch,” he said. In the meantime, Fritzler said bike lanes or not, cyclists have plenty of space on Carbondale’s streets. “Everywhere where there’s a paved road, that’s a bike path,” he said.

Alcohol Awareness Week sparks student discussion SARAH MITCHELL Daily Egyptian Wellness Center counselors say they understand binge drinking occurs at the university and they are trying to take a realistic approach to the situation. Christopher Julian-Fralish, coordinator of the alcohol and drug abuse program at the Wellness Center, said for National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, the center worked with different places across campus to educate students about safe alcohol consumption. According to the university’s Department of Public Safety website, 76 percent of students are moderate or non-drinkers. The site also states 30 percent of students have gotten into an argument or fight because of alcohol or drug use, and 33 percent have driven a car impaired. Michael Berman, a sophomore from Arlington Heights studying cinema, said binge drinking is prevalent on campus. “I think there’s a lot of pressure for (college students) to drink because we can’t really drink later on in life as much as we can now,” he said. Benjamin Penrod, a freshman from O’Fallon studying radiotelevision, said he doesn’t think students do not need to drink to have fun in college. “To feel that you have to drink to enjoy everyone else is just wrong,” Penrod said. “It’s a pack mentality and it’s a college stereotype. You shouldn’t have to fit into social stereotypes just to have fun at college.” Berman said he disagrees because drinking is an important part of having fun in college. “If you’re drinking, you’re cool, and if you’re not, you get exiled, almost,” he said. “People who binge drink are ashamed of it, so seeing someone not drink (watch them drink) makes them

feel bad about themselves. I think many people drink to feel good about themselves.” In 2010, there were 20 oncampus arrests for liquor law violations and 311 disciplinary actions and judicial referrals, according to the DPS website. Of the arrests, three were in residence halls, and of the disciplinary actions, 279 were made in residence halls. Berman said the illegality of underage alcohol consumption is often part of the appeal to college students. “I think it’s seen as taboo, which makes it more fun for us,” he said. The Wellness Center has a variety of ways to deal with alcohol use on campus, said Julian-Fralish. He said although encouraging alcohol abstinence can be a useful method, it is not always necessary because not everyone drinks irresponsibly. “Part of it is just developing people’s awareness of how to drink rather than just letting loose,” he said. “It’s just attaching awareness and intent to how I do something. It’s like studying for a test; I might wing it and do okay, but if I study, I’m more likely to do better. It’s the same thing for drinking. If I have a plan prior to

Binge drinking, as defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, is a pattern of drinking that raises a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent in a short time span. Generally, this occurs when a male consumes five or more drinks in a two-hour going out and doing something, I’m more likely to stick to it.” Julian-Fralish said most people assume they are going to be lectured about why they should not drink when they visit the Wellness Center, but that is not the case. “We’re not going to look away from reality,” he said. “Let’s deal with realities as they present themselves and move forward. We find we actually get a good response because we’re not telling people what to do — we’re giving them options.” The center worked with the Greek system and screened students across campus for alcoholuse disorders. Julian-Fralish said the main focus of the week is the designated driver program. The DD Dawg program provides designated drivers with cards which,

when shown at various restaurants, bars and wineries throughout the Carbondale area, can earn them free soft drinks and/or food. Anyone in the community can become a designated driver if they pick up a card in the Wellness Center and sign a statement that says they vow to remain sober when they’re a designated driver and get their friends home safely. “It allows you to gain some benefit for providing safe behaviors for others and being the designated driver,” Julian-Fralish said. Pearl Franz, a freshman from Springfield studying photography and graphic design, said it can be difficult to deal with excessive binge drinkers. “I don’t mind if people drink around me, but it comes to a point
where if you’re the only coherent one, it’s not the most fun thing to be around because everyone’s in this state where they’re not themselves,” Franz said. She said despite SIU’s reputation as a party school, students are often aware of how to handle themselves in situations where alcohol is present. “The ones that do go out and drink will limit it to the weekends, and they’ll buckle down on their studies,” Franz said. Julian-Fralish said he has high hopes to spread alcohol awareness the rest of the year. “Awareness can facilitate behavior change in people,” he said.

habit of starting the party early. Unofficial Halloween has been a long-standing city tradition. The custom stems from the city’s history of October riots, the last of which occurred in 2005. Since then, students and citizens alike have flocked to bars, nightclubs and house parties around town fully adorned in their theatrical getups. Kevin Ryan, a senior from Springfield studying cinema and photography, said he likes the participation of Unofficial, as well as the creativity in students'

Ryan, who made his Lady Gaga costume last year, said he’ll be doing the same this year as Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter. “I like to take stuff from the store and change it up,” Ryan said. “Buying costumes can be (costly), but if you make it, fabric's not very expensive.” A number of venues in town have Unofficial Halloween parties planned for Friday and Saturday, and Sidetracks, Cooper Dragon, Gatsby’s and Club Traz have included costume contests for their Saturday night festivities.

Lohan late to first day of community service at morgue ANTHONY MCCARTNEY Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan arrived late to her first day of community service at the county morgue Thursday and was turned away, another hiccup in the actress’ effort to prove to a judge that she is complying with terms of her probation. Lohan had been told to arrive at 8 a.m. for an orientation session but arrived 40 minutes late, spokesman
Craig Harvey said. The actress was told to try again on Friday, but will have to arrive at 7 a.m., he said. Steve Honig, Lohan’s spokesman, said in a statement that the actress was late because she didn't know which entrance to report to, as well as “confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival.” The “Mean Girls” star’s tardy arrival at the morgue came a day after she was scolded by a judge for being terminated from a community service
assignment at a women’s shelter. The hearing ended with Lohan’s probation being revoked and her being led from court in handcuffs. She later posted $100,000 bail and was released. She remains on probation for a pair of drunken driving arrests in 2007 and a misdemeanor theft case filed earlier this year after she was accused of taking a $2,500 necklace without permission. She pleaded no contest in that theft case. Superior Court Judge Stephanie
Sautner ordered Lohan to complete 16 hours of work at the morgue before a Nov. 2 hearing. The judge will determine whether Lohan violated the terms of her probation by being terminated from the Downtown Women’s Center after being late several times and not showing up for her service. The actress had done community service in recent days with the American Red Cross, but Sautner said Lohan would not get credit for that work as part of her court case.
A probation officer noted in a report filed Wednesday that Lohan told her that the work at the shelter was “not fulfilling.” Lohan will be doing mostly janitorial work at the morgue, Harvey said. Her duties will include cleaning and stocking restrooms, mopping floors and washing sheets that the facility uses, he said. The actress will have to surrender her cellphone while working at the morgue and will have to bring her own lunch, Harvey said.

Salukis head north to take on No. 2 UNI CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian The Salukis continue their uphill battle for a playoff berth as they travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to take on the top team in the conference. SIU (2-4,1-3 Missouri Valley Football Conference) has now lost three straight games, all in the form of conference matchups. Their opposition, the No. 2 ranked University of Northern Iowa (5-1, 4-0), was the preseason pick to win the MVFC and has thus far dominated the conference. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Saturday. Coach Dale Lennon said this is the starting point for the team to build back their postseason chances. “Winning cures everything,� Lennon said. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, but a win would be huge for us and make us feel good about what we’re doing.� Sophomore quarterback Kory Faulkner said there were a lot of adjustments the team needed to make after the loss to Youngstown State University Saturday at Saluki Stadium, but the team will stick with the same game plan against UNI. He said the game will combine a mixture of play action, with junior running back Jewel Hampton getting the bulk of the offensive load. Hampton has rushed for 561 yards, nine touchdowns and has averaged 93.5 yards per game.
Faulkner said the UNI-Dome can be a hostile stadium to visit. He said this won’t be an easy game for the Salukis, and they will have to be sharp, both offensively and defensively. “It’s going to be a tough environment to play in and we just have to make sure everybody stays together,� Faulkner said. “We just need to put the best game we can out there and hopefully we come out with the win.� In his five games, Faulkner has passed for 509 yards and one touchdown. Opposite of Faulkner is senior quarterback Tirrill Rennie, who has been the one to primarily lead the Panthers’ offense. Through six games this year, Rennie has thrown for 1,064 yards and nine touchdowns, with an average of 173.3 passing yards per game. He has also been a force in the Panthers’ running game, as he is the team’s second-leading rusher with 502 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The Panthers’ leading rusher is freshman David Johnson, who has rushed for 510 yards this season. He has six touchdowns and has averaged 85 yards per game. Rennie has now led the Panthers to their first 4-0 start in conference since the 2007 season. Lennon said he has limited experience with Rennie as the Panthers’ starting quarterback, but he knows how dangerous he can be to the opposing teams.

SIU running back Jewel Hampton breaks through Youngstown State University’s defensive line for a six-yard touchdown run Saturday at Saluki Stadium. For the season, Hampton averages five yards per carry and 93.5 total rushing yards per game. SIU takes on the University of Northern Iowa Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa. “He’s the trigger of their offense,� Lennon said. “He’s tough to grab on to in the backfield; he has great speed; he can score from anywhere on the field, so he’s that big-play threat for them.� Freshman wide receiver LaSteven McKinney said the team needs to make sure it gets back on track by
sticking to what has been successful in the past. He said there have been times this season where the team tried to do too much. As the Salukis are second to last in the conference rankings, McKinney said the game against UNI will be tough, but leaving Cedar Falls with a
win would give the team a confident outlook for the remainder of the season. “Right now we’re not low, but right now we need a win,� McKinney said. “Beating Northern Iowa would definitely be something to boost our team morale as a whole.�
Volleyball on the road against Creighton, Drake SIU defeated Drake, lost to Creighton earlier this season JOE RAGUSA Daily Egyptian The schedule turns over for Saluki volleyball as they travel to Drake University and Creighton University to start the second half of the season. SIU (9-9, 3-6 Missouri Valley) takes on Creighton (11-10, 6-3 MVC) Friday at Omaha, Neb., before traveling to Des Moines, Iowa to face Drake (7-15, 3-6 MVC), a team it shares sixth place with. The Salukis faced both teams earlier this season at Davies Gymnasium, defeating Drake 3-1 Sept. 23 and losing to Creighton 3-1 the next day. Coach Brenda Winkeler said there will be changes in SIU’s formations, but not necessarily because of its three-game losing streak. Sophomore outside hitter Emily Less went down with a knee injury against Wichita State Saturday, and Winkeler said even though an MRI is pending, she will likely be out for the year. “Emily was really coming along,� Winkeler said. “We’re just really short in that left side position.� Less’ injury led to junior outside hitter Laura Thole’s return to the left side this week in practice, which is
where she played during her first two years in the program. “Coach (Peter) Chang really wanted to see Thole on the left side the whole year,� Winkeler said. “But I had seen her there for two years and felt she was more successful on the right, plus we had some other options.� Chang said they did not want to release too much information about the formation changes, but they expect to see a lot more of senior right side hitter Amanda Arnold. “Amanda’s a natural right side hitter. Sometimes she doesn’t get a lot of kills, but she gets a lot of shots,� Winkeler said. “We feel good about her being a low-error person.� The Salukis hit for the same percentage as Creighton Sept. 24 and almost climbed out of a 2-0 hole to force a fifth set. SIU had a 25-24 lead in the fourth, but Creighton used a 3-0 run to take the match. “We played really well against both of those teams, so we're just coming out with that same intensity and energy,� said junior setter Rachael Brown. Creighton senior Laurel Sanford and junior Heather Thorson were

SIU women’s volleyball coach Brenda Winkeler, left, talks to players during Saturday’s game against Wichita State. The Salukis lost all three sets with final scores of 25-22, 25-17 and 25-13. The team will play against Creighton 7 p.m. Friday at Omaha, Nebraska. a challenge to defend for SIU as they posted marks of 11 and 15 kills respectively, while only committing five errors combined. “We’re going to change our blocking schemes to try to shut down (Sanford) and (Thorson),� Winkeler said. “We watched film about how we serve against them, and that was a
big deal in limiting their offense. We want their other outsides to get a lot of balls off the serve.� The matchup against Drake Sept. 23 went better for SIU as it won 3-1. After the team dropped the first set 27-25, SIU stormed back to take the final three sets with a .317 hit percentage.
“(There is) a lot of different factors with them, and things have changed with them, too,� Winkeler said. “They’re a team that makes more errors then Creighton, so we just have to limit the errors we make.� Both Creighton and Drake feature left-handed attackers, so assistant coach Tammi Fries, who is also lefthanded, has been active in practice to prepare the team for that. “We’ll be fine adjusting to it. I’ve swung a little bit at them in practice this week just to get them used to lining up and looking at the opposite arm that they normally would,� Fries said. “I don’t think that will be a problem.� SIU goes into the weekend tied with Drake for the sixth and final spot in the MVC tournament. SIU had the same record at this time last year, but went 2-7 down the stretch to miss the cut by three games. “This weekend is kind of a big weekend. We know that, but we’re trying not to stress on that too much,� Fries said. “We know from here on out that the conference is competitive, and in this second round, we know a lot can happen.�
