A SALUKI HELPING HAND

For-profits thrive while universities decline Madeleine Leroux DAILY EGYPTIAN MLEROUX@SIU.EDU

EDYTA BŁASZCZYK | D AILY E GYPTIAN Beau Singer is one of the most recognized people within the SIU Athletic Department.

Whether he is sitting on the sidelines or in the equipment room, his presence warrants recognition from people passing by.

Singer has been a volunteer equipment manager for the Salukis for six years.

He has worked with the football, softball and basketball programs. During the football season, Singer changes the double-sided tape on the players’ pads; for basketball, he refills water bottles and Gatorade cups; and for softball, he collects foul balls.

Singer is diagnosed with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy, which affects his legs.

Singer said he couldn’t have done it without men’s basketball coach Chris Lowery. “It’s Coach Lowery’s little boy who got me involved — reading an article about Ka-

hari (Lowery’s son) … he has severe cerebral palsy.”

During home football games, Singer sits in the gator on the sidelines cheering on the Salukis and leading the team in the fight song after the game.

“I’m just happy to be a part of it because I know I’m not going to play college football or college basketball — college sports for that matter. Managing is as close as I am going to get to playing football or basketball,” Singer said.

Singer hopes to be the head basketball coach at SIU one day.

“Coach Lowery, (he) better not go anywhere, cause I’ll call him right back as an assistant and be like, ‘I need your help!’”

Singer said he wants Carbondale to be his home for the rest of his life.

“I told my mom I wanted to one day die down here.

Basically, this is my Notre Dame.”

Law professor outlines health care conundrum Madeleine Leroux DAILY EGYPTIAN MLEROUX@SIU.EDU

For Edward Zelinsky, health care costs cannot be controlled without denying someone something.

Zelinsky, a law professor at Yeshiva University in New York, said in his lecture, “Reforming Health Care: The Conundrum of Cost,” elected officials on both sides of the health care reform debate are avoiding the main issue of denying coverage in order to cut medical costs.

The lecture, held at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Lesar Law Auditorium, outlined the issues surrounding the national debate of health care reform, specifically methods on how costs could be cut in the medical system and Zelinsky’s own five-point program for reform.

“Elected officials are reluctant to

deny medical services to cut costs, but health care costs cannot be meaningfully controlled without such service denials,” Zelinksy said. “No one wants to confront this.”

Zelinsky said he had a modest fivepoint program to help curb such costs, outlining measures such as allowing states to experiment with different types of health care coverage and placing higher caps on employer-provided health care. Zelinsky said placing caps on employer-provided health care would force employees to confront the costs of their care and look at what is a necessary medical service.

State Rep. Mary Flowers, DChicago, said though she agreed with Zelinsky’s idea of allowing states to control the type of health care system offered, she disagreed with almost everything else.

KEVIN TRUJILLO | D AILY E GYPTIAN Speaker Edward Zelinsky, professor in the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, answers a question from Leslie Lloyd, a professor in health care management at SIUC Thursday at the School of Law auditorium.

As the university continues its struggle to improve declining enrollment, for-profit institutions are seeing increased numbers, but administrators say there is a clear difference in service.

Paul Sarvela, vice president for Academic Affairs, said at the Sept.

10 Board of Trustees meeting, a report from the Chronicle of Higher Education outlined how for-profit institutions, such as the University of Phoenix, are growing faster than community colleges, public four-year institutions and private not-for-profit institutions, such as DePaul University.

“For-profit institutions are an area of tremendous growth, not only in the United States, but in Illinois,” Sarvela said. “Many of the for-profit institutions are adding new programs and courses of study throughout the state.”

Sarvela said enrollment in four-year, for-profit programs has increased 14 percent in the past couple years, while the university has seen a 1.6 percent decline in enrollment this year.

According to the University of Phoenix Web site, there were 420,700 students enrolled by the end of May 2009, with an average student-age of 34 years old. The institution has a core faculty of 1,410 with an average of 19 years experience in their fields, according to the Web site. Sarvela said these institutions, especially in Illinois, are enrolling the working adult and focusing on marketplace demands.

Sarvela said the University of Phoenix and its parent company, the Apollo group, spent $228 million in the last quarter on marketing for prospective students.

“What (the University of Phoenix) spent last quarter on marketing, we get roughly the same amount in our general operations budget,” Sarvela said. “They are spending a tremendous amount of money in marketing.”

Chancellor Sam Goldman said for-profit institutions also have fewer expenses than traditional universities and colleges.

“They use everybody else’s space; they don’t pay for it,” Goldman said.

“We have brick and mortar that we have to pay for, that we build and so on. They don’t. They don’t worry about that.”

The biggest challenge facing these institutions is to find qualified faculty, Sarvela said. Goldman said most often, for-profit institutions hire local teachers to instruct classes while they are earning a doctorate from the same institution.

“We have the best health care system in the world, but fewer people who have access to it,� Flowers said. “The way we’re delivering care in this country is wrong.�

Flowers said while Zelinksy specified end-of-life medical costs as being aggressive and driving up costs, the high expenses are often because people without coverage are forced to wait until their Medicare kicks in at age 65.

Regardless of how the health care system is reformed, Zelinsky said he does not anticipate the issue to be settled anytime soon. “I do not expect to see the end of our national debate about health care costs for a long time,� Zelinksy said. “Indeed, it is likely that this prolonged debate will last beyond my lifetime.�

Tracy Hotze, a senior from Teutopolis studying health care management, said she enjoyed Zelinsky’s lecture because he pro-

vided a different perspective. Hotze said she, for the most part, agreed with Zelinsky, but thinks the issue of health care reform would not take as long as he predicted. “I think it’ll be settled sooner than he said,� Hotze said.

“We are not appropriately compared to a for-profit,� Goldman said. “We provide a value-added education and some people want that, many people don’t. It depends on where you go.�

Counseling Center participates in national study More than 140 universities wait for $1 million grant Erin Holcomb DAILY EGYPTIAN

EEERIN9@SIU.EDU

SIUC’s Counseling Center will join an ongoing national study on college students – once the study gets a $1 million grant.

More than 140 universities are participating in a study to gauge the mental health of college students from across the country. Students respond to a survey and counseling centers will then submit the results to a central server where the rest of the colleges can access and study the information.

The data will be compiled at the Center for the Study of Collegiate Mental Health at Pennsylvania State University.

Jean Cunningham, assistant director of the Counseling Center, said each university involved could look at its own students’ statistics and compare them to other colleges.

Cunningham, who is on the advisory board for the study, said she wants students to be aware the data collected will not include any identifiable information.

“That data that is de-identified will go into this big database,” she said.

“We will have a monstrous database and people will be able to do research on it.”

The Counseling Center will access

records on past students so it can better plan its efforts to help them, Cunningham said.

The computer server that will hold this plethora of information does not exist yet as the Mental Health Center in Pennsylvania is still waiting for the grant from the National Institute of Mental Health.

“What we really are right now is about two file drawers in a cabinet at Penn State,” Cunningham said.

Ian Birky, director of the Counseling Service at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, said the study has started without the grant. Existing information can be wrongly perceived year after year without research like this, he said.

Birky said this is the first time data

of this magnitude would be available about college students’ mental health.

Dennis Heitzmann, director of the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at Pennsylvania State, said this type of across-the-board data exists, it’s just not compiled in a central location.

The Mental Health Center performed its pilot study last fall. It collected information from 28,000 students at 66 different universities in the country, Heitzmann said.

“Instead of getting information from one source, we get a national picture,” he said. “That info is for university officials who want to keep their finger on the pulse of students’ needs.”

Rosemary Simmons, director of

the Counseling Center, said the information will help legislators decide where to distribute funding in counseling centers based on students’ needs.

“I think there’s a really good chance we’ll get the grant money because of this,” Simmons said. “We can work with federal and state legislators to create bills and moneys and local grants to help students more effectively.”

After the Mental Health Center receives the grant money, Cunningham said she hopes to expand the study to students who do not enter counseling centers.

“The more we know from a large number of college students, the better job we can do to plan what kind of services we can offer them,” she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cole makes unilateral decisions D ear E d i t o r :

I believe the public should know that in an Aug. 18 memo, Mayor Brad Cole made a unilateral decision that members of the City Council could no longer ask the city manager questions or submit questions via e-mail about the warrants presented on the City Council agendas prior to the council meetings.

At the Sept. 22 City Council meeting, the mayor made another unilateral decision and prevented me from asking questions about the warrants during the meeting. Warrants are the bills and invoices for services, travel, equipment, etc. provided to the city which the council is required to approve or disapprove.

Council members receive a listing of the warrants with their council packet the Friday evening prior to the council meeting on the following Tuesday.

The mayor’s memo states, “Any Council member who wishes to review the back-up materials may do so in person, during regular business hours, by obtain-

ing the file from the City Manager and utilizing the Council cubicle in my office suite.” The six other council members have access to a cubicle next to the mayor’s office.

I explained to the mayor that I have a full-time job, which sometimes requires me to work beyond the city’s “regular business hours” on the Monday and Tuesday, and I would be limited to sorting through the warrant materials.

The mayor suggested that perhaps I could arrange to come in over the weekend. Well, occasionally, I am out of town during weekends.

The mayor made a comment during the Sept. 22 meeting that this change was because of cutbacks.

However, for years these lists of questions have been sent to a mid-level person in the finance department and there have been no cutbacks in the finance department. For the last four and a half years, I have probably averaged about five questions for each warrant; which usually consists of about 10 pages with

around 300 invoices.

Most of the invoices have a generic heading such as “FIA Card Services” which is the credit card service used by the city. One credit card charge that I questioned in the past included a trip to Africa by the mayor. The warrants are in the consent agenda, which, as the mayor states, are “items considered routine in nature.”

In the most recent warrant, there were five invoices from a construction company totaling over $27,000 and another invoice for $633 for a Nashville hotel.

Mayor Cole denied me the right and my responsibility to question these bills.

I can’t image why Mayor Cole doesn’t want me to question the city’s bills. I’m sure that most of them are legitimate. His style of management only causes me concern and to ask more questions.

Joel Fritzler Councilman

When you first moved in, everything seemed fine. You spent time getting to know each other and you discovered all the interests you had in common. You noticed some differences too, but they seemed small or you just ignored them.

Often when we spend time with someone, we notice behaviors that don’t match our way of doing things. At first we don’t seem to mind much. We tell ourselves it’s no big deal or even find those little quirks endearing.

However, as time passes, those same behaviors can become annoying after awhile. Irritations that are not resolved often fester and lead to resentment and anger.

The next thing you know you’re having a huge fight with your roommate. Or maybe your style is to stop talking to them, leave them a note or be sarcastic.

It’s time for an honest self-assess-

ment. Are there behaviors that are annoying you? This can include things like a dirty kitchen/bathroom, being too noisy while you’re sleeping, eating your food, being sexual with their partner while you’re in the room, etc.

If you don’t say something now, the behavior will continue and your relationship will deteriorate.

So how do you effectively talk to your roommate about your concerns? Try using DEAR MAN to communicate more effectively.

Describe the behavior that’s bothering you. “I’ve washed the dishes for the last three days, and you haven’t taken a turn.”

Express your feelings and opinions. “I know we’re both busy, but the kitchen does need to get cleaned. I’m feeling put out that you haven’t helped.”

Assert yourself by asking for what you want. “I’d like to share the responsibility for cleaning the kitchen.”

Reinforce or reward your room-

G-20 near agreement on banker’s pay Tom Raum

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH — Struggling with a contentious issue, world leaders have reached basic agreement on limiting the bonuses of bankers whose risky behavior contributed to the global financial meltdown, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday at a summit of the world’s largest economies. In the streets outside, protesters tussled with police on the opening day.

At a news conference, Geithner also expressed optimism that summit partners would endorse the broad outlines of a U.S. proposal to deal with huge imbalances in the global economy such as large trade surpluses in China and record budget deficits in the United States. He also said the U.S. supports China’s efforts to gain greater voting rights in the International Monetary Fund over the reservations of European nations, who would lose influence.

Given the rise of China’s economic powers, “it’s the right thing,” and Europe recognizes that, Geithner said.

World leaders descended on the comeback city of Pittsburgh to debate how to nurture a recovering but still-wobbly global economy.

Nerves are still on edge, but this summit of the world’s 20 leading economies seems free of the crisis atmosphere that hung over the past

two — despite the clashes between protesters and police.

The treasury secretary said the G-20 countries had reached a consensus on the “basic outline” of a proposal to limit bankers’ compensation by the end of this year. He said it would involve setting separate standards in each of the countries and would be overseen the Financial Stability Board, an international group of central bankers and regulators.

Until now, European countries had pressed harder than the U.S. for limits.

“We want to have very strong standards to limit the risks that compensation practices” encourage, Geithner said.

The issue of compensation has been one of the more difficult ones facing the summit.

Europeans in particular pressed for strict limits on salaries and bonuses for executives of financial institutions to keep them from being rewarded for the risky practices that contributed to the financial crisis.

“Europeans are horrified by banks, some reliant on taxpayers’ money, once again paying exorbitant bonuses,” said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. Insisting “this is not a witch-hunt against bankers,” Barroso said the EU was urging G-20 partners to stop the pay practice, “building on measures already taken in Europe and elsewhere.”

Geithner said on Friday, the concluding day of the summit, “you will see a really far-reaching, pretty detailed set of standards.”

He said summit partners “made it clear that we are going to move in each country to put in place the mix of regulations, laws, advisory measures that are necessary to give those standards force.”

The treasury secretary also re-

ported progress in getting G-20 nations to go along with President Barack Obama’s proposal to move toward eliminating government subsidies on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas that contribute to global warming.

Obama-led UN council backs broad nuclear agenda Charles J. Hanley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U N I T ED NAT I O NS — With President Obama presiding, the U.N. Security Council on Thursday unanimously endorsed a sweeping strategy aimed at halting the spread of nuclear weapons and ultimately eliminating them, to usher in a world with “undiminished security for all.”

“That can be our destiny,” Obama declared after the 15-nation body adopted the historic, U.S.-initiated resolution at an unprecedented summit session. “We will leave this meeting with a renewed determination to achieve this shared goal.”

The lengthy document was aimed, in part, at the widely denounced nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, although they were not named. It also reflected Obama’s ambitious agenda to embrace treaties and other agreements

B O S TO N — Paul G. Kirk Jr. served Edward M. Kennedy as an aide, rooted beside him at Harvard-Yale football games and is the executor of his will. Now, as Kennedy’s replacement in the Senate, he is charged with trying to complete his late friend’s legacy by passing health care reform.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick tapped the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday to hold Kennedy’s seat until a special election Jan. 19. Kirk, 71, said he would not run himself.

BA N G KO K — For the first time, an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus, a watershed event in the deadly epidemic and a surprising result. Recent failures led many scientists to think such a vaccine might never be possible.

The World Health Organization and the U.N. agency UNAIDS said the results “instilled new hope” in the field of HIV vaccine research, although researchers say it likely is many years before a vaccine might be available.

the test-ban pact in the U.S. Senate in 1999, and Obama is expected to face similar GOP opposition in pushing for ratification next year. The Senate objected to the measure because the U.S. might need to test its weapons to assure reliability, and there were concerns international monitoring might fail to detect cheaters.

The resolution in various ways reaffirmed support for the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the 1968 accord aimed at preventing the spread of atomic arms beyond five original weapons powers — the U.S., Russia, Britain, France and China.

It bolstered a slew of earlier council resolutions that slapped sanctions on North Korea, for its testing of nuclear weapons, and on Iran, whose uranium-enrichment program is suspected to be intended for nuclear weapons. It demanded that these “parties concerned” comply fully with such requirements.

Obama, leading the meeting be-

cause the U.S. is council president for the month of September, said the resolution was not “about singling out an individual nation.” But French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in his council speech, directed sharp words at both countries.

“We may all be threatened one day by a neighbor, by a neighbor endowing itself ” with nuclear weapons, Sarkozy said.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called on the council to consider “far tougher sanctions” against Iran.

In reaction, the Iranian U.N. mission later issued a statement denouncing “fear-mongering” and “falsehoods,” and repeating its claim that its nuclear program is designed for civilian energy purposes only.

The flare-up came just a week before a scheduled Oct. 1 meeting in Geneva between the Iranians and European, U.S. and Chinese representatives to try to move toward resolving the long-running standoff.

Sky Bar prepares for ‘happy accident’ Luke McCormick DAILY EGYPTIAN LMCCORM2@SIU.EDU

Brian Henneman is calling his band’s Carbondale tour stop “a happy accident.”

Henneman, the guitarist and vocalist for St. Louis southern rockers The Bottle Rockets, will be playing at 9 p.m. Sunday at The Sky Bar (located in Sports Blast) with Jason Isbell.

Henneman said the concert is an off-show performance, as the two acts are not touring together.

Pulse was able to catch up with Henneman and Isbell to get their thoughts on their show.

The Bottle Rockets formed in 1992 and have produced 10 albums. The band is touring after its release “Lean Forward” on Bloodshot Records.

Pulse: You guys have been around for 16 years now; most bands do not make it that long.

How have you continued being successful for nearly two decades?

Brian Henneman: We were just too dumb to quit. The secret is don’t quit.

P: How has the reception been to the last record?

JI: It’s been great and people seem to like it a lot.

P: Now that you are recording with The 400 Unit, how does your music differ from your solo output?

JI: The solo record was just a one-time thing. I see this as more of a continuation. I wanted to work with a band that was the same from album to album.

P: After your departure from Drive-By Truckers, did you feel most of that fan base followed your solo work, or did you have to build up a whole new fan base?

JI: There were some people that knew who I was, but I always try

and build on that. You want more people to appreciate your music.

P: You are from Greenhill, Ala., near Muscle Shoals, which is a historically rich musical spot. How much does where you grew up influence your music?

JI: I still make records here and work with some people who were making records here in the ‘60s and ‘70s. It’s very important to the whole band and me. We all get to know those people early on and they had a big impact on me.

P: I read most of your family are musicians; did you every want to do something else besides create music?

JI: I think it was always the goal — when I was six or seven years old and figured out people do this instead of having a job.

Seattle receiver challenges Bears THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

C HI CAG O — Chicago Bears defensive players can find fault so far only with their inability to create turnovers. Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a somewhat harsher critic.

During a conference call with Chicago reporters Wednesday, Houshmandzadeh promised he could beat Bears cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Zack Bowman “95 percent” of the time in this Sunday’s game at Qwest Field.

“I feel like I’m going to get open every play, every time,” Houshmandzadeh said. “But that’s not going to be the case. Those guys get paid well. I feel I’m going to win regardless, but I have to be realistic. I feel I’m going to win 95 percent of the

time and they can get the other 5.”

The Bears’ defense is ranked fifth in the NFL with 267 yards allowed per game, and eighth against the pass at 176.5 yards per game.

They have a lone turnover, an interception by Tillman.

Houshmandzadeh also had a promise for Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, whom he said ignored him during free agency in March when Chicago was in the market for a wide receiver.

“Jerry Angelo probably didn’t think I could play,” he said. “So I’m going to show him Sunday.”

Bears cornerbacks tried to avoid getting tangled up in the trash talk.

“We’re just as confident in ourselves, obviously, for Sunday,” Bowman said.

Tillman has faced Houshmandzadeh only once, in 2005 when

the Bears lost 24-7 to Cincinnati.

Houshmandzadeh had two catches for 15 yards that day.

“Sounds like a challenge for us, so we’ll see what happens,” Tillman said.

“I think we all like challenges. Right?”

The Bears’ 17-14 win over Pittsburgh last Sunday was Bowman’s first NFL start and his third game. Houshmandzadeh doubts he’ll play Bowman any different because of his inexperience.

“It doesn’t matter who it is,” Houshmandzadeh said. “It can be inexperienced, it can be Champ Bailey, it doesn’t matter. I feel like I am going to get open and if the protection is there, it doesn’t matter who it is.

SIU kicked off its fall season last week with a pair of games Saturday. The Salukis defeated John A. Logan 2-0 in the morning set, as junior right-handed pitcher Danielle Glosson pitched a complete game, five-hit shutout against the Lady Vols, retiring nine batters on strikeouts.

Two newcomers made good first impressions in the afternoon match against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, as junior transfer Alex Peters threw a complete game one-hitter in the Salukis’ 2-0 win. Peters also struck out nine batters in the game.

Natalee Weissinger also made her mark in the game as her line drive to the wall in the fourth plated two Saluki runs.

The Salukis will continue the second part of the fall Round Robin tournament on Sunday with a 1 p.m. game against Southeast Missouri State and a 5 p.m. game against Univeristy of Southern Indiana.

The men’s golf team has been tightening its game at practice as it heads to St. Charles to compete in the John Dallio Memorial Sunday.

Senior golfer Jordan Cox said the team has built off its experience at the Wasioto Winds Fall Kick Off tournament Sept. 15.

“I think we took a lot away from the last tournament because we shot better by the third round of the tournament. We missed a lot of greens at Wasioto, but we have been practicing our chipping and our putting all week,” Cox said.

Head coach Leroy Newton said the team has worked hard on its game and has been practicing at the Dalhousie golf course in Cape Girardeau, Mo. “The Dalhousie golf course is a tough course and it is very similar to the one we will play at on Sunday. We have been working on driving the ball straight, as well as our putting and chipping so we can be ready to go out and put up low scores,” Newton said.
