‘Chrysler’ of jets comes to SIU Tyler Davis

@tdavis_DE | Daily Egyptian

S arah G ardner • d aily e Gyptian Aviation students sit and talk inside the newly donated airplane Tuesday at the Transportation Education Center.

Michael Burgener, aviation department chairperson, said the Department of Defense put nearly $1 million of maintenance into the plane before SIU received it, so it is in good condition. “Now it’s up to us to maintain her,” he said.

After serving the U.S. Navy for decades, a Gulfstream III jet will be serving the students of SIU’s aviation program.

Michael Burgener, chairman of the Department of Aviation Technologies, said the Navy donated the jet, which he said is in great condition, after it was decommissioned Tuesday.

“Gulfstream is one of the premier manufacturers of business jets in the country,” he said. “We’re going to use it for a majority of our classes for maintenance training and for avionics training.”

The Gulfstream III, which is more than 80 feet long with a 78-foot wingspan, will be the second largest aircraft the department has. The only aircraft owned

by SIU larger than it is the 1960s Boeing 737 the university received in 1998, Burgener said.

Burgener said the Department of Defense put more than $1 million in renovations into the jet, which was built

in 1983. The Gulfstream is also the newest in SIU’s fleet and uses aviation electronics, or avionics.

“Avionics is a field of technician that deals more with the instruments, with the autopilot, the navigation system, the communication systems, the radios, flight management systems,” he said. “This aircraft has a lot of that. It has capabilities that no other aircraft in our program has.”

Burgener said another one of the best aspects of the jet, which cost approximately $30 million when new, is that students will be working on the same kind of jet as many professionals.

“There’s several large maintenance repair organizations in the state of Illinois that have large contracts with Gulfstream to maintain the jets,” he said. “Many of our students go to work for these companies after graduation.”

From classes on hydraulics to classes on computer systems, Burgener said the jet can be a tool for learning how to maintain nearly all aspects of similar airliners.

SIU: no stance on ‘free community college’ Sam Beard

@SamBeard_DE | Daily Egyptian

Free community college is a concept that could change the landscape for America’s students, but some shrug it off as an impossibility.

In President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address on Jan. 20, he said he is sending Congress a plan to make community college free. The president’s plan, called America’s College Promise, would save community college students who maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher an average of $3,800 dollars per year, according to the White House. It would cost $60 billion dollars over the next decade.

SIU has not taken a stance on the proposal because it is unsure how the program would be funded, university spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith wrote in an email Sunday.

“Until we have a clearer picture of funding and how the plan may be put into operation if it passes Congress, we don’t know what the full implications might be,” Goldsmith wrote.

Malika Murphy, a junior from Pasedena, Calif., studying animal science, said she likes the idea of free higher education, but wonders why it has not always been the standard.

“Obama’s plan would just make two years of college a standard part of one’s education,” Murphy said. “But who knows if anything will come from it?”

John Jackson, a visiting professor at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, said the proposal shows Obama is committed to college students. Even if the White House is dedicated, Congress would still need to take action.

“There is very little chance the Congress will pass this because the majority party is almost, by reflex, opposed to anything that the president suggests,” Jackson said.

A 2013 Gallup poll found 59 percent of Americans disapproved of Congress’ performance because of party gridlock and ineffectiveness.

Congress has been exhibiting party tensions, resulting in legislative

standstills, uncharacteristic of America’s past.

“It’s deeper and worse now than it has ever been in history,” Jackson said. “[American history is full] of instances where the two parties compromised and common ground was made.”

Murphy said the Republican Party seems to oppose bills that help the underprivileged.

“They seem to think that everyone can make it, regardless of their social status,” she said.

This is the first time the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have had a Republican Majority at the same time since 2006, and that year the president was a Republican.

With a Democratic president and a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate, the nation has a unique combination, which could slow the speed at which certain types of laws are passed, Jackson said.

However, Obama has included America’s College Promise in the proposed budget for the 2016 fiscal year, which nears $4 trillion dollars.

Wilson Meador, a senior studying aviation technology, said students will learn the ins and outs of the machine as well as how to diagnose problems.

Meador said they will run tests on the jet, putting it in different situations, making aspects like tire pressure deplete, and then consider how to fix it.

Burgener said this is one of the biggest aspects of aviation technology.

“We train students to be able to maintain aircrafts as technicians, so they have to learn

all the systems on the aircraft,” he said. “That’s what it’s going to be used for. The only thing we’re not going to do is fly it.”

Burgener said to fly the plane, the department would have to pay to get it reclassified from a military aircraft to a civilian one. He said the university has no plans to do so, citing fuel costs for the high-powered jet as another reason for it to remain grounded.

Michael Higgs, a senior from Central City, Ky., studying aviation technology, said working on a plane with a functioning turbine, as opposed

to a propeller-powered plane, is something he looks forward to.

“Most of our turbines we get to work on don’t run anymore so it’s exciting to get to play with something new like this,” he said.

Other students were excited about different aspects of the university’s latest addition.

Zach Swint, a junior from Rolling Meadows studying aviation technology, said the modernity of the Gulfstream includes a more digital display that uses fewer gauges.

“Avionics system is all computers rather than all steam, which is what older aircrafts

use,” he said.

Alec Tepps, a junior from Lindenhurst studying aviation technology, said even though the jet is older than he is, the technology is still pretty modern.

“It’s definitely nice to have something that’s coming right off the workforce,” he said. “Everything’s in great condition.”

Tepps said the technology in aviation is always being updated and even his professors have to take classes to keep up with the machinery. Although the Gulfstream is far from the most modern jet in existence,

he said it will still help students immensely.

He said many of today’s planes and jets are nearly capable of being flown completely on autopilot and this jet will put the students closer to learning that technology.

As for the future of the jet, Burgener said he intends to keep the Gulfstream in mint condition for a long time.

“It will last longer [than the Boeing],” he said. “The Boeing we have to leave outside because of the size of it. With the Gulfstream, we’re going to put it inside. It’ll stay nice.”

Frozen food forbidden in Indian restaurant Jessica Brown

@BrownJessicaJ | Daily Egyptian

An emphasis on crisp ingredients at Reema’s Indian Cuisine has kept the customers coming since it opened in July 2013.

Ramneesh Prabhakar, owner and manager of the restaurant, said he is always looking for ways to set his establishment apart from competitors.

Reema’s, located on the Strip at 709 S. Illinois Ave., creates most food from scratch, such as the naan bread, yogurt, samosas and paneer, an Indian cheese.

“The freshness of the food brings success,” Prabhakar, 46, said.

The restaurant opens at 11:30 each morning. It then closes from 2 to 5 p.m. every day except for Friday, when it closes from 3 to 5 p.m. It then reopens until 9 p.m.

During the break in operations, the restaurant is cleaned thoroughly and ingredients are delivered from St. Louis or Chicago.

“We know that we could be getting business within those hours,” he said. “But we don’t

compromise.”

Reema’s waitress Haley Hodgson, a junior studying social work, knows this all too well, as she often helps carry in the ingredients.

“They usually come by the carload,” she said.

Despite the large amount of food in the shipments, there are few leftovers.

“We don’t really have much extra,” said Hodgson, who has worked at the establishment for a year. “They’re pretty precise with getting the right amount.”

Food not sold at the end of the day cannot be reused. If Indian food is not prepared fresh, it doesn’t taste right, Prabhakar said.

Leftover food is either used for the employees’ meals or discarded, said waitress Brennan McMillen, a senior studying fashion design merchandising.

Taste is not the only important factor of the food, Prabhakar said. He said health benefits play a role as well. But Beth Michaels, a dietitian at Southern Illinois Healthcare, said the claim of

increased health is questionable.

“There’s very little, if any, nutrient loss simply by decreasing a food’s temperature to freezing point,” Michaels said. “What really matters is whether or not any additional alterations were done to the food prior to freezing, such as heat-treating or adding preservatives.”

A definite advantage to having fresh food over frozen, however, is taste and quality.

“When frozen food is thawed, it can be a little watery,” Michaels said. “This can give the food a different texture and flavor.”

Reema’s food is spread solely by word of mouth. Because of this, Prabhakar depends on customer satisfaction.

Aja Garmen, a freshman from Springfield studying cinema and photography, said the spices make the restaurant authentic.

“It was my first experience with Indian food,” Garmen said. “I’ve eaten at other Indian restaurants afterward, and Reema’s is definitely my favorite.”

10-day enrollment shows slight increase Jonathan Swartz @JP_Swartz | Daily Egyptian

Spring enrollment for the Carbondale campus has increased by 65 students from last spring according to a university press release sent Tuesday.

Administration attributed the rise to investment in recruitment and retention plans, university spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said.

The sophomore class had the largest increase, rising 16.4 percent.

Goldsmith said these results show that successful recruitment of freshmen last year has carried over to success in retaining those students this year.

While junior class enrollment remained level, according to the press release, numbers of offcampus and transfer students increased 11.6 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively.

Goldsmith said the only class to experience a drop in student enrollment this spring is the senior class. Year-to-year class enrollment of seniors decreased by about 10 percent, she said.

“There are pockets of improvement and pockets where we think we can do better,” Goldsmith said. “The good news here is that we’re holding our own after a number of years of decline.”

Investments toward keeping freshmen at SIU have led to the development of a two-year rolling retention plan, Goldsmith said.

The plan targets specific groups of students prone to non-enrollment after their first year. Goldsmith said students with undecided majors are a part of this focus, as they show lower rates of return.

Efforts include helping students identify their strengths and choose a major.

Goldsmith said the positive results of the strategy, combined with the decrease in senior enrollment, is evidence the policies and endeavors aimed at freshmen and sophomores need to be expanded to upperclassmen.

She said focusing on strong advisement, emphasizing the ways students can graduate on time and making sure students are engaged are aspects of the approach.

The colleges of Applied Sciences and Arts, Engineering and Science have notable increases in enrollment since last spring, according to the press release.

Goldsmith said while a reason for this is hard to define, a likely cause is the fact that students in those colleges have a direct line to employment.

Easier access to jobs across the nation has led to increases in enrollment, Goldsmith said.

Nationwide is not on your side Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Seahawks fans were not the only people crying after Sunday’s Super Bowl.

The big game draws in die-hard football fans, but also an audience of people who could not point to Green Bay, Wis., on a map.

Some watch for the halftime show, in which Katy Perry had a wonderful performance this year, and others watch to see the commercials.

This year, there must have been a memo sent out to companies to find which could create the saddest 30-second ad possible.

Insurance company Nationwide would have won the wretched wager.

The commercial started by showing the life of a young boy. He is riding a tricycle beside his dog, trying to catch up with a group of older boys on bikes. He then looks down in sadness and says he will never learn to ride a bike.

Then the boy talks about never having his first kiss with a girl, comparing it to the childhood fear of catching cooties.

Next, he is traveling through the sky in a jetpack and setting sail

Editorial Cartoon

across a stormy sea. At this point, viewers are thinking maybe the child has realized the differences between dreams and reality.

Maybe the advertisement is for Monster.com, a perennial commercial holder for the Super Bowl, and website to help people find jobs. Maybe the kid has discovered he needs to settle on his goals and work in a cubicle.

Sadly, the boy said he will never do any of those things because he died from a preventable accident.

This clip had to have been directed

by M. Night Shyamalan because it felt like seeing the twist in “The Sixth Sense.”

After the commercial hit the air, social media was rife with complaints. Some were angry because the Super Bowl is meant to be this joyous occasion where Americans watch some football, shovel chicken wings in their gullets and enjoy a couple cold ones.

Those people are right, except for the extreme caloric intake.

Super Bowl commercials are meant to be fun, but that does not mean sad ones do not work.

Memes are all over Twitter with the child actor. One of the most popular said, “I would have ran

the ball with Lynch, but I died,” in reference to the Seahawks’ decision to pass the ball on the goal line instead of run it with star running back Marshawn Lynch.

Always, a producer of femininehygiene products, put together a heartfelt ad showing how the phrase “Like a girl” is outdated.

Men and women can throw and run the same way, so the phrase only continues to purvey an inequality between genders.

This ad successfully creates a needed conversation, unlike the one Nationwide wanted.

People are angered because the commercial is sad, but they should be angry for a different reason.

Commercials are designed to sell a product. Nationwide is an insurance company, so its goal is to sell more insurance. They are hoping to guilt you into purchasing insurance on the appeal that your child could die in a preventable accident.

Always does not directly profit from gender equality—women will always need their products.

But Nationwide can only stay in business if people buy its insurance.

So, if families are afraid for their children, they will drop whatever

‘Project Almanac’ neither impresses nor disappoints Jacob Pierce

@JacobPierce1_DE | Daily Egyptian

Time travel has been used in fiction for quite some time. At its best, it can produce classic films such as “The Terminator,” “Back to the Future” and “Groundhog Day.” At its worst, time travel can cause a plot to become convoluted and full of confusing paradoxes.

“Project Almanac” (PG-13;106 min) falls right in the middle.

“Project Almanac” is a sci-fi thriller directed by Dean Israelite starring Jonny Weston, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Sam Lerner and Allen Evangelista.

Time machines bring nothing but trouble, as David Raskin, played by Weston, and his group of friends learn the hard way. After seeing himself at his current age appear in an old home video, he realizes he must eventually build one. When he and his friends build the machine, a world of opportunity arises and second chances become reality.

The consequences of time travel become apparent and the world starts to pay the price in the form of tragedy, devastation and death. The group has to revert everything before it is too late.

“Project Almanac” had bad news written all over it. When the trailers

were first released almost two years ago, the film was titled “Welcome to Yesterday.” It looked promising, having aspects of both “Chronicle” and “Back to the Future.” It was then pushed back to 2015, retitled twice and moved to a January release.

For the most part, “Project Almanac” is an enjoyable teen tale.

What hurts its good intentions is the found footage gimmick. Films such as “Chronicle” and “Paranormal Activity” reinvented and rejuvenated the genre successfully. By 2015, found footage became another overused trick, along with the vampire and zombie genres.

Films that utilize found footage film must have a clear reason for doing so. “Project Almanac” fails to and it ends up hurting the film, causing many dramatic scenes to fall short. When you cannot even identify the hair color of a main character, it is hard to develop empathy for them.

In contrast to this problem, one of the more successful points of the movie is its interesting characters.

The film could have easily been like the slew of teen oriented flicks coming out each year and had unlikable characters. The people in “Project Almanac” are far from unlikeable, being one of the most

enjoyable group of characters in a mediocre film.

David, the main character, in particular shows a dark side of himself. Losing his father at a young age, the movie portrays David inventing the time machine to become closer to him. He is a kid who pushes himself to his limits just to reach greatness. But when David learns he must give up the wonderful life the machine has brought, his selfish side appears.

This duality is hard to come by in an average teen movie.

David’s sister Christina, played

by Virginia Gardner, should be just as compelling as David. She lost her father as well, and ends up losing more than he does as the movie progresses. Yet, we never learn who she is beyond the typical high school girl. Her scenes involve her holding the camera, but nothing but expository and awkward dialogue come from her.

“Project Almanac” is a thrill ride.

It is not great, but is enjoyable.

When the film does well and focuses on the main characters, you will find yourself invested. But when it fails, it fails hard and knocks the viewer off track. The film is a good for matinee viewing, but do not pay full price for it.

Former dawgs sniffing NFL opportunities Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

MyCole Pruitt and Malcom Agnew are not the only former Saluki football players with sights on the National Football League.

Thor Hadfield, Courtney Richmond, LaSteven McKinney and Ken Malcome are all using the offseason, combines and pro days to impress NFL scouts.

None of them played in showcase games, but they do not see that as a disadvantage.

Hadfield, a long snapper and former captain, said making the NFL is about consistency.

“It’s not one big game. It’s doing it right every time,” he said. “I’m lifting, gaining weight and snapping.”

Hadfield said it is difficult to stand out among long snappers, but his passion for the game is next to none.

Next for Hadfield is the Coach Zauner College Senior Specialist Combine in Phoenix beginning Feb. 27. He said as long as he can impress one scout or coach, he will be able to live out a dream he has had since he was 3 years old.

“I don’t want to sell myself or my talents short,” he said. “I’m confident in my abilities and I

think I can compete at that level.”

While Hadfield is working out with SIU’s head strength coach Clete McLeod, his Saluki teammates are training outside of Carbondale.

Since January, former Saluki cornerback Courtney Richmond, who finished his career with 136 tackles and 3 interceptions, has been working out at D1 Memphis Sports Training and Therapy in Collierville, Tenn. He signed with an agent in St. Louis.

Richmond, who will attend SIU’s pro day March 17 at Saluki Stadium, said not playing in a showcase game like Pruitt and Agnew makes him train harder.

He does not think the NFL Draft is a possibility, but that signing as a free agent is.

Richmond is open to playing in the Canadian Football League as well. If neither work, he said he would go to graduate school.

Former Saluki wide receiver LaSteven McKinney is working out at Acceleration Sports Performance in Naperville and Lisle.

“I’ve been in Naperville working on power and technique in the morning,” he said. “Then I go up

to Lisle to work on mechanics.”

At SIU, McKinney also played running back, wildcat quarterback, punt and kick returner. He finished his SIU career with 2,786 all-purpose yards, 11 receiving touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown.

McKinney signed with NFL and CFL agent Allan Cunanan of Maximum Sports Agency out of Silicon Valley, Calif. McKinney will also attend SIU’s pro day and is deciding if he wants to attend Northwestern’s and or University of Illinois’.

He said depending on how his pro days go, the NFL Draft is still a possibility. McKinney is also open to playing in different leagues to get to the NFL. “Canadian and Arena football are the two next steps I’m willing to take,” he said.

Former SIU and University of Georgia running back Ken Malcome–who had a combined 788 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns in his collegiate career–is without an agent, but has talked to scouts.

Malcome will attend Northwestern’s and SIU’s pro days. He said he often asks his cousin, Dallas Cowboys wide

Alumnus reflects on racism, athletics and philanthropy Sean Phee

@SeanPheeDE | Daily Egyptian

Harvey Welch worked his way up in the world and now he is paying it forward.

Welch was the first AfricanAmerican on the basketball team at SIU, playing from 1951 to 1954. But his achievements go far beyond the court.

He was born in Centralia and had five siblings. His father died when he was young, so his mother had to raise all her children and her three nieces alone, despite having only a sixth-grade education.

Welch said he wanted more out of life and knew education was the way to get it. He said he had black elementary school teachers tell him to work harder to get what he deserved, even though he would not be treated equal.

“I believed if I got an education, all these barriers that were on me because I was black, would come off,” Welch said. “It was a lie because I got the talent, skill and education. I was still not able to enjoy many privileges because of the color of my skin.”

Still, he became the first black student to complete the ROTC program at the university.

Welch said it was tough being a black athlete in the early 1950s. He said a small child once threw a basketball directly at his head from close range at Southeast Missouri State.

Harold Bardo, interim athletic director, said he first met Welch as a student in 1957. Bardo said Welch means a lot to the university and community.

E llEn B ooth and S arah G ardnEr • d aily E Gyptian Harvey Welch, the first African-American SIU basketball player, poses for a portrait Tuesday. Although Welch is well-known for his contributions to SIU, he said helping others is his goal in life. “Having the opportunity to serve students is probably my proudest and happiest thing,” Welch said

“It’s hard for young people to appreciate what he’s done for this university,” Bardo said.

He is a Saluki sports Hall-ofFamer and two-time All-Conference selection. However, he said after college, golf became his favorite sport.

Welch has helped make golf more accessible to minorities through the National Minority Golf Foundation, where he is able to combine two of his favorite things, golf and helping others.

He raises money with the Harvey Welch Jr. Golf Scramble. He and his wife, Trish,

use the money to give scholarships to students in need every year.

“Having an opportunity to serve students is probably my proudest and happiest thing, and I will continue to try to do that,” Welch said.

Welch uses golf as a metaphor

when giving advice to students.

“If you can model your life and behavior around the rules of golf, you can be a successful person,” he said. “In golf, you have to play the ball where it lies, and in life you must accept responsibility. Anybody can tee the ball up and then hit a good shot, but in life it’s not that easy. When you play the ball where it lies you must dig down, think and work at it to be successful.”

After college, Welch had a 20year career in the U.S. Air Force, where he became one of the first three black colonels.

Welch said most Air Force officers did not have bachelor’s degrees in the 1950s, but he had one and a master’s degree.

Despite these qualifications, he said it took him longer to earn promotions than others.

“One of my bosses wrote on a report that Lt. Welch had a good education for a negro,” Welch said.

“A brave sergeant saw that and reported it to the director personnel and said, ‘This isn’t right.’”

After the Air Force, Welch served as the first black dean of student life at SIU and subsequently served as vice chancellor of student affairs.

He is district governor of Rotary International, serves on the board of directors for Lutheran Social Services and is a board member of the Carbondale Park District.

He also served on the board of directors for Southern Illinois Regional Social Services.

Welch still lives in southern Illinois and makes his best effort to walk the track in the Recreation Center every day.
