CAMPUS SPORTSCAMPUS

Chancellors may soon have the ability to declare unpaid adminis-trative leave, or furlough days, af-ter the SIU Board of Trustees vote on a new resolution today in Ed-wardsville.

� e resolution would provide authority for SIU President Glenn Poshard to grant authority to the SIU chancellors to implement a temporary closure of a campus. � ough the measure is likely to pass, Poshard said he saw it as a precautionary move in case any of

the SIU schools face crisis mode in the next year.

“Right now we have set aside 4 percent of our budget for the shortfall,” he said. “Administrative closure days would only be uti-lized to make up whatever short-fall we have. This is something we’ve looked at and may use — just in case.”

No more than six unpaid ad-ministrative leave or furlough days could be implemented every � scal year, according to the resolution. However, it states these days may not be scheduled during periods when classes are in session.

� e rationale for adoption of the proposed resolution is that the measure would allow for the tem-porary closure of a campus to help manage the budget shortfall.

A� er the resolution passes, Poshard said it would be up to each chancellor to have conversations with the heads of the unions to work out if and when any unpaid leave days could be used.

“We are required as a university to barter over wages, hours and terms and conditions of employ-ment; that’s speci� cally where we are,” he said.

A 1998 resolution, put together

by the Faculty Senate, Graduate Council and Faculty Association, states unions have “legal jurisdic-tion over all matters pertaining to wages, hours and working condi-tions for all the faculty within the bargaining unit, and these matters will be negotiated by the Faculty Association.”

SIUC Chancellor Rita Cheng said she has spoken to some civil service workers, but she was wait-ing for approval from the board before talking with the Faculty Association.

Federal regulations on the dis-posal of coal ash could burden the university if the Environmental Protection Agency designates coal ash a hazardous waste.

� e agency will hold a hearing in Chicago today to discuss a pro-posal to regulate the disposal and management of coal ash from coal-� red power plants. � e hearings will be held in other states and end in Tennessee — the state that suf-

fered the worst coal ash disaster in U.S. history just two years ago.

If new federal standards pass, the university’s power plant would see regulations increase on the hauling and dumping of ash, which would cause coal prices to rise, said Phil Gatton, director of the Physical Plant.

“� e question is going to be what limits they are going to put out there while regulating our ash,” Gatton said.

� e university’s power plant pays a Du Quoin mine thousands per year to haul away around 13,000 tons of coal ash but donates

some to mix with concrete for roads or with salt for an ice melt solution. � e plant produces only 15 percent of the university’s power per year, which pales in comparison to city power plants, Gatton said.

“� e size of our facility means we’d probably be under the radar, but if they make coal ash hazard-ous waste, then there will be big expenses for us,” said Neil Sa� elder, chief plant operating engineer.

In southern Illinois, four plants have been identi� ed as having contaminated water by the Envi-

ronmental Integrity Project, and Southern Illinois Power Coopera-tive, which operates 10 miles south of Marion, is one of them.

Lisa Widawsky, an attorney from the project, said coal ash is laden with toxic heavy metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, selenium and thallium. � ese heavy metals can accumulate in animal and human bodies and eventually poison them.

“Because these elements are al-ways in coal, when coal is burned, the metals stay in the ash and be-come very much more concentrat-

ed,” Widawsky said. � e EIP acquired test results

directly from the power coopera-tive’s monitoring data by using the Freedom of Information Act and included it in an investigative re-port released Aug. 26, EIP Attorney Kimberly Wilson said.

“We’re sighting their quarterly ground water and data,” Wilson said. “� ey must certainly be aware of this issue.”

Randy Hughes, president of the SIUC Faculty Association, said in e-mail sent Wednesday to all the group’s members that even if the res-olution was approved, it would not give administrators the authority to implement the measures for faculty represented by the association.

“Any changes to our terms and conditions of employment must � rst be bargained in good faith with the Faculty Association, which is the le-gal representative for our bargaining unit,” he said. “Our bargaining team’s negotiations will be based on a com-plete review of the actual � nancial status of the university and a con-sideration of appropriate options for these circumstances.”

� e current board policy requires any closure of campus be considered

paid leaves for all faculty and sta� , ac-cording to the board’s personnel poli-cies. � e policy also requires all e� orts to reduce expenditures be invoked in response to budget shortfalls.

� e resolution, if passed today, would revise this policy, according to the board’s meeting agenda.

� e SIUC campus is looking at a shortfall of $11.5 million for the cur-rent � scal year, according to an e-mail Cheng sent Aug. 2 to university per-sonnel. She said 4 percent cuts from all university units and money from fall tuition would determine wheth-er furlough and unpaid leave days would be required.

SIUC announced Sept. 7 that its fall enrollment had dropped 1.5 per-cent from last fall. Between the drop in tuition received and the 4 percent cuts, Cheng said the university is facing a shortfall of roughly $2.5 million. She said she expects four unpaid adminis-

trative leave days to cover the shortfall.“We will begin conversations with

all bargaining units about the impact of this and we will then plan on what we will do and have some discussion on campus,” Cheng said.

She said the days would likely take place around holidays and � anksgiv-ing or spring break. Everything is still coming together, and the approval of the resolution by the board would al-low for the next steps in � lling the uni-versity’s shortfall, Cheng said.

“I don’t want to declare any un-paid administrative leave days that we don’t have to,” she said. “� is is a di¢ cult time for higher education in the state of Illinois and all around... � ere’s just not a lot of money lying around.”

� e report identi� ed contami-nated ground water and private wells with maximum concentra-tions reaching 10 to 18 times the federal maximum contaminant level. � e two wells with the highest average concentrations are adjacent to Saline Creek and discharging into the water, the report said.

“Anyone on public water has no concern, and (owners of) private wells would have been identi� ed,” said Maggie Carson, communica-tion manager at the Illinois Envi-ronmental Protection Agency.

Leonard Hopkins, rule and compliance manager at the South-ern Illinois Power Cooperative, said

he was aware the power cooperative did not comply with drinking wa-ter standards, but the contaminated wells were contained within the plant’s site.

“� ese were not drinking water wells, and they are contained within our site,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins said he thought the re-lease of the EIP’s report was timed so the EPA’s hearings would wrong-ly correspond with the report.

“� ey’re combining two di� er-ent things here,” he said.

� e power cooperative’s stan-dard coal ash runo� goes into the south fork of Little Saline Creek and is sampled monthly to check for toxins. � e allegations of contami-nation stemmed from a letter from the EPA that said results were above

standards, Hopkins said. “We have these minerals present

in our ground water throughout the state,” he said.

� e power cooperative burns 10 times as much coal as SIUC’s power plant, and uses the same coal technology, Sa� elder said. How-ever, larger scale plants have coal scrubbers that make the ash wet and then it is dumped into ponds or discharged into creeks.

“� is is the cleanest coal tech-nology we could get,” Sa� elder said. “I don’t think it should be hazard-ous waste; I’m sure there’s much worse stu� going into land� lls.”

Sam Nylen said the only way for American democracy to work is for students to register to vote, and then go out and do it.

Students are a� ected by the state government’s choice to provide student loans and grants, and whether the university can borrow state money and state appropriations, said Nylen, president for SIUC College Democrats. He said education should be the driving motivation for students to go beyond registration and become more informed about candidates.

Since Aug. 30, the College Democrats and College Republicans groups have been sta� ng voter registration booths from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Grinell Hall and Trueblood Hall, Nylen said.

“We’re trying to make students more aware of this election, not only how to register, but tell them who is running, candidates’ positions, and when Election Day is,” Nylen said.

He said between 350 and 400 students have registered since the booths were set up. � e booths will be set up until Oct. 5, the deadline for voter registration.

� e Voter Registration for Education, a bipartisan group formed between College Democrats and College

Republicans, is trying to remedy potential low voter turnout, Nylen said. He said there were low numbers because younger voters tend to believe it’s not important to participate unless it’s a presidential election.

“� at couldn’t be more wildly wrong,” Nylen said. “Your next senator (and) your next governor are as important as your next president. � ese are people who deal with everything every day in your state.”

David Yepsen, director for the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said students believe they don’t know enough about candidates to cast an intelligent vote or are intimidated by the voting process.

“Registering requires little e� ort,” he said. “Students can ¥ nd out about candidates by going to new organizations or going online to search for stories about candidates.”

Student numbers are traditionally low, as are the total voter turnout numbers in midterm elections, Nylen said.

Almost ¥ ve times the number of voters participated in student precincts for the 2008 Presidential

Election as the 2006 general election, according to numbers provided by the Jackson County Clerk’s O� ce.

Between 22 million and 24 million Americans ages 18 to 29 voted in the 2008 Presidential Election, the second-largest younger voter turnout in history. � e highest turnout rate occurred in 1972, the ¥ rst year 18-year-olds could vote in a presidential election, according to � e Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, a nonpartisan research center.

Nylen said he thinks if every student who registered in the 2006 midterm election voted, legislators would look at the university and the community more closely. Legislators decide which services should be cut by analyzing locations where voter turnout is greatest, he said.

“� e number one issue politicians face is re-election,” Nylen said. “If all of a sudden students started voting, they would be forced to vote for student issues.”

He said students who don’t vote in the general election shouldn’t complain about high tuition or taxes, or a lack of jobs or available classes.

“If more students participated, there would be more pressure on legislators to get things done,” Nylen said.

He said he wants students to have the same motivation as in the rally in Spring¥ eld to reinstate the Monetary Award Program grant last October. More than 400 SIUC students and thousands more statewide went to Spring¥ eld to restore the grant, he said.

“If students don’t vote, legislators won’t have any problem cutting their MAP grants and not

helping out universities,” Nylen said.

Congressman John Shimkus, a Republican from Collinsville, said to students Sept. 8 at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute that being informed is crucial to voting.

“You have to eventually make a decision. If you don’t really have a dog in the ¥ ght, you have to ¥ gure out the pros and the cons,” he said.

Young voters do not notice how government a� ects them, which is a mistake on their part, Yepsen said.

“Which generation is going to have to pay o� this national debt?” he said. “Which generation is trying to get an education and ¥ nd a job in the worst economy since the 1930s?”

While her mother is in Mexico celebrating Mexican Independence Day, Yvonne Cordero said she does the same in Carbondale.

Cordero, a graduate student in social work from Chicago, said countries all over the world are cel-ebrating the day di� erently.

To celebrate Mexican Inde-pendence Day, the bicentennial celebration will be broadcasted in the Big Muddy Room today in the Student Center, said Rosalba Cor-rea, Hispanic Student Council fac-ulty adviser. She said broadcasting Mexican Independence Day would show people in the U.S. how others celebrate Independence Day.

“It is our culture, and these activi-ties manifest pride in it,” Correa said. “Many Mexican students were born in the United States, but it’s nice for them to go back to their roots. Most of their parents were born there.”

Cordero said since the U.S. is so diverse, it’s easy for her to celebrate her heritage throughout the year.

Jeanette Garcia, a freshman from Anna studying psychology, said she stays connected with her Hispanic culture despite living in southern Il-linois her whole life.

“� is small community is diverse, but you don’t see this culture as much as you do in other places, so it’s im-

portant to promote my culture,” she said.

Mexican Independence Day is just part of the Latino Heritage Month celebrations, which started Wednes-day with Vive la Vida Latina!, where multicultural student organizations presented their group’s message to students at Grinnell Hall.

Carbondale City Council member Corene McDaniel and Undergradu-ate Student Government President Marcus King were among those in attendance to welcome multicultural students to the city of Carbondale and SIUC campus.

Garcia said because Hispanics make up such a small population in the community, being involved in events on campus helps her stay in touch with her culture. Hispanic indi-viduals born in America need to stay connected to their culture, she said.

“Children tend to start losing the language (when they are born in America),” Garcia said. “I speak both Spanish and English. It’s who you are.”

Since coming to SIU, Garcia said it has been easier for her to connect

with other students of her culture.“Being a part of Hispanic Student

Council, I can get to be involved with all these events on campus and pro-mote who we are,” she said.

Carl Ervin, coordinator for Mul-ticultural Programs and Student De-velopment, said there are a few new events happening this month on campus, including martial art shows and a presentation on Oct. 6 by Iris Y. Martinez, the ¥ rst Latina elected to the Illinois State Senate.

Correa said she believes such events held by minority groups can bene¥ t the entire student body.

“It promotes respect and under-standing of other cultures,” she said. “It gives a wider scope of what the culture truly is.”

McDaniel said it’s important for students to celebrate their heritage beyond one month.

“Please, don’t make it one month,” she said. “Make it a daily thing.”

Editorial PolicyOur Word is the consensus of the Daily Egyptian Editorial Board on local, national and global

issues a� ecting the Southern Illinois University community. Viewpoints expressed in columns and letters to the editor do not necessarily re� ect those of the Daily Egyptian.

At Pomona College, a top-� ight lib-eral arts school, this year’s sticker price for tuition and fees is a he� y $38,394, not including room and board. Even a� er adjusting for in� ation, that comes to 2.9 times what Pomona was charging a generation ago, in 1980.

­ is kind of massive tuition increase is the norm. In New England, Williams College charges $41,434, or an in� ation-adjusted 3.2 times what it did 30 years ago. Southern Cal’s tab of $41,022 is a 3.6 multiple of its 1980 bill.

Tuition at public universities, in a time of ailing state budgets, has risen at an even faster rate. ­ e University of Il-linois’ $13,658 is six times its 1980 rate a� er adjusting for in� ation. San Jose State’s $6,250 is a whopping 11 times more.

If you look at how that added rev-enue is being spent, it’s hard to argue students are getting a lot of extra value for all that extra money. Why? Colleges aren’t spending their extra revenues, which we calculate to be about $40 bil-lion a year nationally over 1980 reve-nues, in ways that most bene t students.

Colleges spend more on athletic

teams, which have become a more pro-nounced — and costly — presence on campuses everywhere. Even volleyball teams travel extensively these days, with paid coaches and customized uniforms. Currently, 629 schools have football teams — 132 more than in 1980. All but 14 of them lose money, including some with national names. It’s true alumni donations sometimes increase during winning seasons, but most of those gi� s go speci cally to athletics or other des-ignated uses, not toward general educa-tional programs.

Meanwhile, the cost of sports con-tinues to rise. ­ e average football squad has gone from 82 to 102 players, due to sub-specialties required by eso-teric coaching strategies.

­ e number of women’s sports teams has also risen sharply. Since 1980, for example, the number of women’s soccer programs has soared from 80 to 956. Teams cost money — o� en lots of it. Varsity golf at Duke, open to both genders, costs an estimated $20,405 per player per year. Because there are no revenues for most sports, the de cits o� en have to be covered by tuition bills.

Another source of increased ex-pense is administration. Since 1980, the number of administrators per student at colleges has about doubled; on most campuses their numbers now match

the number of faculty. Here are some of their titles: senior specialist of assess-ment; director for learning communi-ties; assistant dean of students for sub-stance education; director of knowledge access services.

Needless to say, these o° cials claim they o� er needed services. Who can be opposed to ensuring access and assess-ment? But let’s not forget tuition pays for all these deans and directors. Hav-ing more of them means higher bills for students.

Added tuition revenue has also gone to raise faculty salaries. Yale’s full-time faculty members now average $129,400, up 64 percent in in� ation-adjusted dol-lars from what they made in 1980. Pay in other sectors of the U.S. economy rose only about 5 percent in this period. Stanford’s tenured and tenure-track professors are doing even better, aver-aging $153,900, an 83 percent increase over 1980.

We’re told such stipends are needed to get top talent, but we’re not so sure. Faculty stars may raise prestige, but they are o� en away from the classroom, hav-ing negotiated frequent paid leaves and smaller teaching loads — underwritten, of course, by tuition. At Williams Col-lege this year, for example, three of seven religion professors are taking o� all or part of the academic year.

Complete data on college presidents’ pay is easily accessible only back to 1991. Yet even in that relatively short span, college leaders have seen their salaries double in in� ation-adjusted dollars. Carleton’s president today gets 2.4 times more than the president did 19 years ago; at NYU, pay has risen by 2.7 times. Measured another way, it takes the tu-itions of 31 Vanderbilt students to cover their president’s $1.2 million annual sti-pend. We have yet to see evidence that lo� ing more money to the top enhances the quality of instruction.

In theory, all this extra tuition money should permit the hiring of more junior faculty, which might mean smaller in-troductory courses. But on many cam-puses, huge classes remain the norm. One reason is most teaching budgets are consumed by senior professors. Am-herst’s full professors absorb 77 percent of the cash available for full-time faculty. At Berkeley, they sop up 73 percent. At Northern Arizona, it’s 75 percent. ­ e little that’s le� is parceled out among ju-nior professors and underpaid adjuncts, who despite rising tuitions are doing an increasing portion of the teaching.

­ e cost of room and board has gone up sharply too, with charges o� en double or more in in� ation-adjusted dollars. At Bowdoin and UCLA, they have gone up three times. Most college

tours will show student living stan-dards have risen too. Rooms once had only iron cots, military mattresses and battered desks. Now suites are wired for electronic gear, with fully equipped kitchens down the hall. Penn State enables students to legally download music — at last count about 2 million songs a week.

As to dining, food costs may be lower than ever, but not on college campuses, where the quality of cam-pus dining has become a marketing tool. If your memories of dorm food include mystery meat and overcooked vegetables, you’d be in for a shock on today’s campuses. Here were some re-cent choices in the Middlebury College dining rooms: sun-dried tomato pizzas, African couscous, tandoori chicken, orange-ginger tofu steak, red beans and basmati rice. Whether these more elaborate menus make students more studious is not known.

­ e travesty of high tuition is that most of the extra charges aren’t going for education. Administrators, athlet-ics and amenities get funded, while history departments are denied new assistant professors. A whole gen-eration of young Americans is being shortchanged, largely by adults who have carved out good careers in places we call colleges.

GUEST COLUMN

Colleges: where the money goes

Dear Editor:On Saturday, I participat-

ed in a local garbage clean-up as part of a National Volunteer Day project. It’s nothing new, but the amount and variety of garbage peo-ple found was nevertheless astounding.

The majority of this trash came from fast-food estab-lishments — I’m includ-ing take-out here — and consisted of Styrofoam and cardboard containers, plas-tic cups, lids, straws, etc. You name it; we found it.

So, if you plan to eat fast food, which generates a lot of waste regardless, I encourage you to take the garbage home, or at the very least throw it away in one of the many strategi-cally placed receptacles on campus.

But please, don’t be so lazy and mindless as to pitch it out of the window of a moving vehicle and declare it a job well done. I think I can say without exaggera-tion that these kinds of ac-tions indicate a pitiful lack of respect for one’s environ-ment, and by default, one’s self and community mem-bers. Basically it’s just poor form to foul the nest.

My hope is that maybe we can channel some of the apparent school spirit that’s found here on campus — take a look around on game day — extending it so far to keep the campus and its sur-roundings somewhat free of the garbage that is so hap-hazardly strewn about.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Andrew Hacker Claudia DreifusMcClatchy Tribune

Dear Editor:I wish to commend William Freivogel,

SIUC’s director of the School of Journal-ism, for his very generous and sincere e� ort to save jobs in his department.

Such qualities are rare in people earning relatively high salaries compared to faculty on compressed salaries, civil service sta� and others existing on basic wages. It is a shame that our even higher-paid adminis-trators and athletic directors will not follow the same path.

 Instead, they intend to cut salaries that will drastically a� ect those employees who are less well-paid than those on 12-month, six- gure salaries. ­ is seems to be the strategy for our recently acquired, highly paid addition to SIUC’s already heavy ad-ministrative bureaucracy.

Nero ddled while Rome burned. Our higher administration seems more inter-ested in developing sports stadiums and administrative buildings while the aca-demic infrastructure of the university rap-idly deteriorates and essential services such as the Student Health Assessment Center

are eliminated. ­ ose people are more con-cerned with maintaining their obscenely paid salaries than helping deserving stu-dents who need this important service.

Student numbers at SIUC are falling as a result of failed administration policies, both historically and recently, especially since 2005 following the appointment of our illustrious president. Students who leave the university are voting with their feet. ­ at is why other institutions such as SIU’s Edwardsville camps and Southeast Missouri State University are booming and SIUC’s enrollment continues to decline.

I can cite a case of a very good student, whose name I will keep private, whose mother had a heart attack last semester. She was also diagnosed with a medical condition.

When she requested a withdrawal and supplied the necessary personal and medi-cal information six weeks before the end of the semester, the relevant university body waited until just before nals week to refuse her request. Fortunately, I worked with her throughout the summer so her nal grade

would represent the high quality of the one paper she had submitted during class be-fore she had to leave to care for her mother. ­ is student le� and doesn’t plan to return.

Is it any wonder we are losing good quality students when this type of arro-gant administrative practice, which would be subject to legal action elsewhere as an amazed contact in the University of Geor-gia informed me, continues and those higher up choose to in� ict economic hard-ship on the university community rather than reducing their highly in� ated salaries during this time of economic hardship?

­ e problem with this university clearly lies with higher administration, not fac-ulty, civil service and other sta� , as well as students who see their education being devalued by those who appear unprepared to follow the example of Freivogel. Cuts should be in� icted on those with high sala-ries, not on those already struggling to sur-vive economically in this climate.

CHAMPAIGN — Robert Van Der Hooning has spent almost four years trying to regain the University of Illinois job he lost in a dispute over a veterans scholarship program, but now a decision in a state court means he has to start over from the beginning.

� e state Court of Claims decided on Aug. 30 that an amendment of the State O� cials and Employees Ethics Act means it’s no longer the right place for Robert Van Der Hooning to pur-sue his case against the university.

Van Der Hooning was � red in June 2006, not long a� er being promoted to an assistant dean’s position and praised for his work in setting up a scholarship program for military veterans pursu-ing MBAs. � e program won praise from, among others, then-Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, Donald Rumsfeld — at the time the Secretary of Defense — and then-Rep. Rahm Emanuel.

He said he was let go a� er refusing to whittle down the number of quali-� ed applicants.

Van Der Hooning, 53, said he has worked only sporadically since he was � red, believes he’s missed out on posi-tions he’s applied for because he was � red, and recently lost his house in Winteka to foreclosure.

“It’s hard to get a job in this econ-omy with a situation like that — it’s hard to explain to people exactly what happened,” Van Der Hooning said. He declined to discuss further details of his � nances except to say, “things get tight, things get di� cult. I’m a single dad, I’ve got three daughters, I’ve got two in college.”

He and his attorneys, who are working at what he would only de-scribe as a steep discount, plan to re-� le the case in Cook County Circuit Court. A son of one of the attorneys, Michael Shakman of Chicago, applied for one of the scholarships.

University spokeswoman Robin Kaler declined to discuss the case, cit-ing the pending litigation, but said at least 119 veterans eventually received MBA scholarships. � e school’s at-torney did not return a call from � e Associated Press.

� e program no longer exists.

Van Der Hooning and the uni-versity announced the scholarships in March 2005 at an event attended by, among others, his boss, then-Col-lege of Business Dean Avijit Ghosh. Ghosh is now the university’s vice president for Technology and Eco-nomic Development.

As announced, the program would provide 110 full scholarships for veter-ans to the university’s executive MBA program, relying on a chronically un-derfunded state program that guaran-tees veterans tuition at state schools to cover most of the roughly $8 million in costs.

According to Van Der Hooning, Ghosh and two associate deans in the College of Business, Larry DeBrock and Sandy Frank, soon worried that the state tuition program might fall short. � ey also, Van Der Hooning’s court � lings say, complained that enrolling too many students with military backgrounds might hurt the quality of the executive MBA class, with Ghosh and DeBrock calling them “jar heads.”

Neither Ghosh nor DeBrock re-sponded to e-mails from the AP for

comment. Frank no longer works for the university, and her phone number couldn’t be found. In the past, all three have declined to comment on the case.

According to Van Der Hooning, Ghosh, DeBrock and Frank cra� ed new, tighter application deadlines to cut down the number of veterans.

And, he says, they wrote letters to 35 of them rescinding conditional ad-missions to the program, and a later e-mail explaining that those veterans should continue to apply. According to Van Der Hooning, the e-mail was never sent to applicants but was sent to Quinn a� er an inquiry by his o� ce over complaints from veterans.

Both the letter and e-mail con-tained Van Der Hooning’s signature. He says he signed neither, and pro-tested sending the letter because he believed changing the veterans’ status was unethical.

According to a deposition of De-Brock by Van Der Hooning’s attor-neys, DeBrock said he dra� ed the letter and e-mail, placed the electronic signature on the e-mail. He said he did so because “this was to come from the (veterans scholarship) program.”

A� er pressure from Emanuel and Quinn, Van Der Hooning says, the university honored those conditional admissions. � e university has said it eventually enrolled 49 veterans, a number that dropped to 43 a� er some decided not to attend.

But a� er refusing to help whittle down the number of veterans, Van Der Hooning says, he was � red, not long a� er the promotion and a pay raise that pushed his salary from $156,000 to $172,000 a year.

� e school has long maintained it never intended to award the scholar-ships in one school year, and a� er Van Der Hooning’s case was � led with the Court of Claims in December 2006, said it would continue the program until it reached 110 scholarships.

But notes obtained by Van Der Hooning’s lawyers from an interview the state O� ce of Executive Inspec-tor General conducted with Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Rich-ard Herman indicate that Herman believed the scholarships were to be awarded “all at once.” Herman, whose sta± took those notes, resigned as chancellor last year.

Daily EgyptianNews� ursday, September 16, 2010 7WASHINGTONAP-GfK Poll: Political environment improves for Republicans over course of primary season

WASHINGTON — Tilted toward the GOP from the start of the year, the political environment has grown even more favorable for Republicans and rockier for President Barack Obama and his Democrats over the long primary season that just ended with a bang.

With November’s matchups set and the general election campaign beginning in earnest Wednesday, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that more Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction than did before the nomination contests got under way in February. Also, more now disapprove of the job Obama is doing. And more now want to see Republicans in control of Congress rather than the Democrats who now run the House and Senate.

The country’s pessimism benefits the out-of-power GOP, which clearly has enthusiasm on its side. Far more people voted this year in Republicans primaries than in Democratic contests, and the antiestablishment tea party coalition has energized the GOP even as it has sprung a series of primary surprises.

WASHINGTONMore House Democrats balking over Obama plan that would let taxes on wealthy go back up

WASHINGTON — More Democrats joined Republicans on Wednesday in calling for the preserva-tion of tax breaks for Americans of every income level, bolting this election season from President Barack Obama’s plan to preserve cuts for those who earn less than $200,000 and let taxes for the wealthy rise.

“We should not be raising taxes in the middle of a recession,” Rep. Jim Marshall, D-Ga., who’s facing tough odds in his bid for a fourth term, wrote in a terse letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“It is essential that we keep things as they are in the short term,” said Rep. Travis W. Childers, D-Miss., another conservative incumbent in a tight race, whose district, like Marshall’s, voted for Republican John McCain in the 2008 presidential race.

For this pair, one press release announcing their opposition to Obama’s plan was not enough. They and other jittery moderate Democrats have signed a letter being circulated by Utah Rep. Jim Matheson urging Pelosi, D-Calif., and other House leaders to abandon the Obama plan and extend to everyone the Bush-era tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year.

ISRAELMideast peace talks round ends with no deal; Palestinians launch mortars, Israelis drop bombs

J E R U S A L E M — A mortar attack by Palestinian militants and airstrikes by Israel formed the grim backdrop as Mideast leaders ended their latest round of peace talks Wednesday, still divided on major issues. There was no word on when they would meet again.

The inconclusive U.S.-brokered talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas left in doubt the prospects for their new effort to end generations of hostilities in the region and create a sovereign Palestine alongside a secure Israel.

George Mitchell, the U.S. envoy for Mideast peace efforts, emerged from an evening session to say the talks had been encouraging but had fallen short of agreement.

“A serious and substantive discussion is well under way,” Mitchell told a news conference.

Abbas and Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for about two hours at the Israeli leader’s official residence here and agreed to continue the search for a peace deal, he said.

WASHINGTONArlington National Cemetery discovers 3 service members have been buried in wrong graves

WASHINGTON — Three people were bur-ied in the wrong graves at Arlington National Cemetery, the Army said Wednesday as it fol-lowed up an investigation into bookkeeping problems and burial mix-ups at one of the nation’s most hallowed sites.

After a report issued in June found that the problems could potentially affect thousands of graves, defense officials received about 1,100 calls from worried families.

One of those callers, the widow of an Army staff sergeant, led to the exhumation of three graves late last month. The three remains in those graves, all former members of the armed forces, were found to be in the wrong place, said Gary Tallman, an Army spokesman.

“The families are satisfied that the problem was fixed,” Tallman said Wednesday.

A fourth grave was opened Wednesday in a different section of Arlington. At the request of his father, the grave and casket of Marine Pfc. Heath Warner of Canton, Ohio, were opened.

� e only player to not be a� ected by the curse is Arizona Cardinal wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who shared the Madden 2010 cover with Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. During the 2010 season he played in all 16 games, recorded 97 receptions for more than 1,000 yards (career standards for Fitzgerald) and had the most touchdown receptions in his six-year career with 13. Polamalu, however, sprained his knee the � rst game of the season, came back, and then injured a ligament in the same knee. He was limited to � ve games and 18 tackles in

the 2009-2010 season, compared to his usual total of at least 50.

In week one of this season, Brees didn’t get hurt but didn’t perform to his normally high standards. � e Saints only scored 14 points while he threw for only 237 yards and one touchdown. In the 2009 season, Brees threw for less than 237 yards only four times and had 34 touchdowns. � e Saints scored less than 14 points one time during last year’s Super Bowl run. � e Saints got the win Sunday, but it was against a Minnesota Viking team who lost its receiving core. Week two is against the Houston Texans, who are notorious for their o� ensive attack behind quarterback Matt Schaub.

Only one game has been played and Brees didn’t look bad, but with all the history of injury problems and career downfalls of past Madden poster boys, there has to be caution. Every time Brees is sacked I’m going to look at my copy of Madden. � is is also the reason he is not on any of my four fantasy football teams.

When the Saints won the Super Bowl and Brees became MVP, the Colts had their heads down wondering why they didn’t win a second championship. � ey may have been asking the same question — why? — when the Texans defeated them 34-24 in week one.

� e only team to have a winning

record the year a§ er losing the Super Bowl since 1994 is the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona made it to the playo� s last season a§ er losing to the Steelers at the Super Bowl two seasons ago.

Last season the Colts started with a 14-0 record and only lost the last two games because they sat their starters.

Indianapolis, known for its weak defense, lost star safety Bob Sanders to an injury yet again. Sure, this seems to happen every year, but the Colts need him on the � eld as the leader and headhunter he is.

� e Colts have won 12 or more games in the last seven seasons, so fans shouldn’t be worried about them.

But the week one performance against the Texans has to show a threat of the hangover curse coming true. � e No. 1 wide receiver on the team, Pierre Garcon, dropped catchable passes and running back Joseph Addai has proven time and time again he is not a starter in the back� eld. � e Colts have relied on Manning to win games for a long time, but the curse of being a losing Super Bowl team could stop the tradition of the Colts being a playo� team if there isn’t a change in the game plan.

RUGBY MEN CRAVE CONFERENCE TITLESteve Adent, a senior studying criminal justice from Frankfort, runs through drills at rugby practice Wednesday at the playing fields. The club has a coach, Joe Lasky, for the first time in its history as it looks to improve on some of the most successful previous seasons in the club’s existence. The club won the 11th annual Ruggapalooza Tournament, and looks to win conference before playoffs begin in the spring. “We’ve got a shot to do something this year here that we’ve never been able to do before,” Lasky said.STEVE BERCZYNSKIDAILY EGYPTIAN

Scheduling for the program sometimes provides a challenge because athletes typically have morning classes to allow for a§ ernoon practices, Nothwehr said.

To avoid scheduling con« icts the program is o� ered in the months of October, November, February, March and April, Watkins said. � ose months were chosen to avoid con« icts with exams and more stressful times of the student-athletes’ lives, he said.

Participating schools have embraced the grassroots program, Watkins said.

“(� e athletes) really enjoy being out in the community and being able to be a role model to those kids ... and telling them, basically, if they work hard they can maybe be a student-athlete someday,” Nothwehr said.

There are plenty of professional sports and almost each one has a league or tournaments aired on national TV. Some have proven to be more popular than others such as the NFL, which makes more money from advertising and merchandise than any other league or sport. As a sports fan, which sport or league is too boring for viewing?Saluki Insider

This isn’t because it’s a female sport, but I’d have to say the WNBA. I’ll watch softball and volleyball and the Williams sisters play tennis, but it’s torture to watch women’s basketball.

Regular season NBA is the single-worst regular season of any sport. Watching 10 guys on the court give 1/20 of an effort as they hope to be healthy enough to make a playoff run forces me into a sleep-induced coma. In fact just thinking about it makes me wan…………. zzzzzzz

Things that are more interesting to watch than PGA golf: bread toasting, con-crete setting, the bottom of my car rusting, a cat falling asleep, and — how could I for-get — the playoffs of ESPN68’s paint drying competition (BEHR is the champion, three years running).

On the very last hole of the invite, Goelzhauser drove a shot from 220 yards out onto the green and 6 inches from the hole. He then tapped it in for an eagle. During the last 18-holes he shot one under par.

Other than his con� dence, Miller said the strongest aspect of his game is 150-yard and in shots.

“If I have a 9-iron and pitching wedge I’m de� nitely going to hit the green; if not, within 10 feet,” Miller said.

Four new players teed o� for the team at the invite, including sophomore Brandon Cauldwell, who placed 10th out of 60.

“(Cauldwell) played a little better than I thought he would because I

thought he’d be nervous the � rst time out,” Newton said.

Cauldwell is a transfer from Division II Harding University in Searcy, Ark., Newton said. He wanted to move home to Illinois and play for a Division I program, Newton said.

Newton said he believes Cauldwell may shoot one under par every tournament.

Newton said the main team he wanted to defeat at the invite was John A. Logan College because of the friendly rivalry with the junior college.

JALC always has a good team and has talented players this season, but Newton doesn’t like losing to community colleges, he said.

SIU � nished third out of 10 teams at the invite, one place ahead of JALC.

Goelzhauser, who transferred from

JALC, said the Salukis were behind his former school at one point. He said he wanted to show up his old teammates.

Newton said he plans to keep the same lineup for the University of Texas-Arlington Waterchase Invitational Sept. 20 in Arlington, Texas. He plans to arrange hitting order by lowest score and average from practice, Newton said.

“(� e Salukis) don’t let one shot or two (bad) shots bother them and I think that carried over to where they made a few birdies later on (in) rounds,” Newton said.

Newton said the team in general has to improve its putting and chipping in order to be more competitive in MVC play.

Women's tennis Head Coach Audra Nothwehr said the fan base for her team consists of more than just tennis enthusiasts and fans of SIU athletics.

� e majority of her team's fan base is built on personal connec-tions made through community service experiences like the “Just Read” program, a program that creates an educational bond be-

tween college student-athletes and elementary school students.

“Athletes are natural role models,” Nothwehr said.

Sophomore tennis player Jennifer Dien said she and her teammates, along with other athletes, sign up for the event and visit local elementary schools. She said the athletes split into groups and read books to a wide variety of classes and grades.

� e program was founded in November 1997 and was designed for two purposes: to provide an

educational experience for students (elementary and college), and blending State Farm Insurance Company, which co-sponsored the program, with Missouri Valley Conference, said Jack Watkins, MVC associate commissioner for marketing and television.

Watkins also said the program provided a forum for developing public speaking skills for the athletes in a non-threatening environment. � ey learn vital leadership skills and have a chance to tell their life stories, Watkins said.

Nothwehr said the program also provides an opportunity for athletes to recognize their position as role models for the community.

“It’s good for athletes to know that they are a role model,” Nothwehr said. “It’s when they forget that they do dumb stu� .”

Dien said helping out in the program made her feel closer to home, since she comes from a large family.

C o m i n g into the season, Drew Brees and the Indianapolis Colts face two of the worst omens NFL players and teams have had to deal with: the

Madden curse and the Super Bowl hangover. A� er week one, signs of these omens already exist.

New Orleans Saints quarter-back Drew Brees, who was the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV, chose his own potential downfall in the Madden Curse, while the Colts are trying to become just the second team since 1994 to lose a Super Bowl and have a winning record the next season.

Electronics Arts has put a di� erent NFL player on the cover of each year’s edition of its Madden NFL football video game since 2000. � e game is released each August, before the ensuing football season. But for every edition of the game, the featured player either has the worst statistical season of his career or su� ers a severe injury. Brees put his playing career on the line by being on the cover of Madden 2011.

Former NFL quarterback Daunte Culpepper and former running backs Marshall Faulk, Shaun Alexander and Eddie George all had career years before appearing on the Madden cover but were all but out of the league a� erward because of injuries. � e year a� er Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was on the cover was the ¢ rst year he didn’t record an interception and he le� the season early with a wrist injury.

Will bad omens continue in NFL?

Coach Newton: team uses swagger to succeedBRANDON COLEMANDaily Egyptian

Sophomore Saluki Je� Miller said a golfer has to be cocky when he or she steps onto the course, and that attitude helped Miller shoot under par for the ¢ rst time in his collegiate career earlier this week.

It was also that con¢ dence that helped Miller almost get his ¢ rst hole-in-one in the third round of 18 holes during Tuesday and Wednesday’s Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-O� in Pineville, Ky., he said.

Head Coach Leroy Newton said the team’s greatest asset is its con¢ dence. � e Salukis’ con¢ dence

was the main reason why they shot under par at the invite.

“We all have pretty big egos,” Miller said.

Miller said he took aspects from every professional golfer he watched. He emulates his game, from his swing to his putt, a� er Zach Johnson and Tiger Woods, he said.

“I try to take away from Tiger Woods his mental game and his power,” Miller said. “He’s the most mentally strong player in the game.”

Miller said senior PGA golfer and fellow Centralia native Tom Wargo also helped him develop his game in Centralia during the summer.

Junior Joe Goelzhauser, who ¢ nished the invite tied for 12th out of 60 golfers, said seeing Murray State’s players all score within the top six gave him con¢ dence he could do the same.
