Polar Bear results in hospitalizations, citations During Polar Bear, a drinking event on Saturday, 26 people were hospitalized and 139 citations were made by local and state police officers. The severity of injuries during the weekend was the worst in three years, an E.R. nurse manager at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale said Monday, according to Rossalind Rice, communications coordinator for Southern Illinois Healthcare. The average age of patients treated was 19, and the common denominator in all cases was extremely high blood alcohol content. University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said the chancellorʼs office did not send an email to parents about the upcoming drinking event–as it has in previous years–and instead sent the email directly to students. The email offered alternative options for students such as extended Recreation Center hours and offered tips for staying safe during the weekend.

no easy feat.” Zabielski, a producer of “Tosh.0” on Comedy Central, was raised in suburban Long Grove and Naperville and lives in Los Angeles. The newly minted millionaire said he has no plans to quit his day job, and was on his way back to Los Angeles on Monday, where the TV show is in production. But he is hoping his Super Bowl victory will lead to new opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Galloway opens doors for others Aaron Graff

There were not a lot of black people directing sports when Dennis Galloway started doing so in 1983. Galloway, a radio and television professor at SIU, spent more than 30 years as a sports director and won a Regional Emmy while in Pittsburgh. A sports director makes the decisions of what action the television viewer sees, Galloway said. He said the director has to communicate with all of the camera crew to tell the story of the game. “I liked the live aspect of it,” he said. “You have one chance to get things right.” Galloway attended California University of Pennsylvania and majored in communications, knowing he wanted to work in television. He first applied for a job at a television station in Pittsburgh, which he knew he was not really qualified for. After the interview, it was clear they were not interested, until he told them he was the student representative on the Board of Trustees. Then they hired him. “I always tell this to students: Go to class. Do your work,” he said. “But do as much as you can outside of class because you never know how that’s going to benefit you.” Galloway has directed nearly every major sport and spent 21 years directing baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He said baseball is his favorite sport to direct because of the action and uniqueness; there are a lot of cuts to make in a telecast. He said one struggle about being black was having longer breaks than other directors. It took him five years to direct his first telecast after starting as a production
assistant in 1978. He said it took others less time because they were in better situations and knew more people. Galloway said he once had a client who wanted him to direct a basketball game at the University of Alabama Birmingham. He said the client was very friendly on the phone, but after they met in person his tone changed and he could not even look him in the eye. “He was barely speaking to me at all once he saw who I was and what I looked like,” Galloway said. Ken Lyles, a black freelance camera and replay operator in Chicago worked with Galloway. During Galloway’s time, when the Pirates traveled, they sent a producer, director, assistant director, assistant producer and on-air talent. All other crew members were hired locally. “[Galloway’s] a wonder to work for,” Lyles said. “He’s not a screamer. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it out of his crew people.” Lyles said it is a challenge every day being a minority in the industry. He said people in venues outside of Chicago still look at him funny and ask what he is doing there. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I still feel like I’m on the outside a lot of times,” Lyles said. “There’s been so many years where I’m the only black person on the crew, or one of two.” Jean-Pierre Reed, a sociology assistant professor, said there are different ways of measuring equality, but America is yet to get there. He said a black person and a white person could have the same qualifications for the same job, and the black person is usually bypassed. “If you look at the statistics, they tell you

something about the unemployment rate,” he said. Galloway said he has taken away mostly positives though. He said one morning while he was going to direct a college basketball game, a black guard stopped him and asked what he was doing. Galloway explained. “[The guard] got out of his booth, walked around, shook my hand and started to cry,” Galloway said. “I asked him what was going on. He said he never saw a black man in that position and he was so proud of me. I broke down crying too.” Galloway’s biggest contribution to Black History Month is getting a job and proving himself because it may open doors for people with the same background as him.

The civil rights problem is not just an American issue. Corne Prozesky, an associate director of facilities at the Student Recreation Center, knows this all too well. Prozesky was born in Pietersburg, South Africa in 1976. He lived there for 21 years until he received an athletic scholarship for swimming and came to SIU. He lived in South Africa during apartheid—the segregation of people with different skin colors. Getahun Benti, a professor who teaches South African history, said underlying racial discrimination was always prevalent in the country. However, apartheid became legally enforced when the National Party took governmental control in 1948. Benti said the time period included separate schools for different groups of people, prohibition of relationships between those of different people, designated living areas for each racial group and a disparity in wages between the groups. The discrimination did not stop there.

As a white child, Prozesky was conditioned be afraid of those who looked different from him. “You get indoctrinated when you’re young,” he said. “You’re taught to be tough for your people, to stand strong for your people. … You were brought up to be careful and fearful of black people, that they were out to harm you, and that you
always had to be on your guard.” He said South African society was militaristic and strict. “Our government controlled the television stations, so you never really saw the riots and people being unhappy,” Prozesky said. “We just lived life thinking nothing was going on.” Freedom of speech was closely monitored as well. In the town where Prozesky is from, a man got on a cart and began to speak about why apartheid was detrimental. “After about five minutes, the police arrested him and took him away,” he said. “As soon as someone started talking about apartheid and why it was bad, they would just arrest you.” The emphasis on militarism was carried on throughout the school system. Prozesky said once males reached high school, they were expected to complete unpaid mandatory military service, which was also racially segregated. “Wednesday was military day,” he said. “You began learning about the military and started drilling. You had to learn how to shoot guns and use smoke grenades.” Please see APARTHEID · 3
