FCC votes in favor of net neutrality Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

Students can rest assured knowing high-definition Netflix will be there to help them procrastinate on school work.

In a historic decision, the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 in favor of new net neutrality rules on Thursday. The rules prohibit websites from being blocked, similar to how phone companies cannot prevent a number from being called. Providers are not allowed to purposefully slow down the time it takes to reach a site, or create paid “fast lanes,” where content creators pay to have their product prioritized and delivered faster.

The vote comes a year after Netflix paid Comcast several million dollars to prevent the Internet service provider from slowing down its videos.

“The action that we take today is an irrefutable reflection of the principle that no one, whether government or corporate, should control free and open access to the internet,” said FCC chairman Tom Wheeler during the announcement.

Under the new rule, ISPs are classified as a telecommunications service, similar to telephones or radio, giving the FCC more power to regulate the corporations.

Belle Woodward, SIU associate professor of information systems technologies, was excited for the positive ruling.

Woodward said one of the difficulties she experienced recently was explaining what net neutrality means. Being in the world of information technology, she said many students asked her whether it was a good thing and if they should be in favor of it.

During the summer comedian John Oliver did a segment on net neutrality for his show “Last Week Tonight.” The clip has had more than 8 million views and has been credited by some sites as a source for the rise in advocacy in the fall of 2014, where the FCC was contacted nearly 4 million times by people asking for net neutrality changes.

Woodward said once students found out Netflix, Facebook and YouTube were at stake, they woke up and spoke out.

“Ages 28 and younger, they feel entitled to having access,” she said. “They feel it’s an innate human right, and I agree. It is a human right to have the same level of access to education and to any other resource that others do.”

If not, she said, a society of haves and have-nots will continue to grow.

Woodward said the Internet is important in terms of education, but the economic side of the decision is equally as important.

For example, in the deal between Comcast and Netflix, the provider was allowed to interfere with online commerce.

If Netflix paid to get uninhibited access to consumers, Comcast could prioritize Netflix over Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime.

Special Olympics’ Polar Plunge inspires teammates Matt Wells

@MattWells_DE | Daily Egyptian

Seven SIU women’s swimmers and divers took a swim this weekend, but it was slightly colder than they are used to.

Sophomore swimmer Lauren Stockton started a team who jumped into Campus Lake on Saturday morning in the name of charity.

Donning their SIU bathing suits and swim caps, despite sub-freezing temperatures, the swimmers took on the Polar Plunge to support Special Olympics of Illinois.

Stockton has participated in the event before.

“It was warmer last year,” Stockton said “I’ve never jumped into a lake where there’s been seven inches of ice the day before.”

Freshman swimmer Mikaela Montgomery compared the plunge to an ice bath.

Sophomore swimmer Sarah James was on board with the idea when she saw Stockton and sophomore Riley Schroedter take the plunge in 2014.

“This year, I did really want to do it,” James said. “Watching them do it last year really inspired me.”

James, who has friends with relatives who deal with mental disabilities, said the Special Olympics is a great cause because it enables those with special needs to participate in sporting events that people without disabilities do not really have to think about.

Stockton said she was proud of her group.

“It was a huge success,” Stockton said.”Not only did it get a few of my teammates to work together to benefit a good cause, but it took a lot of heart for them to jump into that freezing water.”

The Polar Plunge raised $54,235, compared to $55,000 last year, Melzer said. This included online donations, as well as the cash and checks paid the morning of the event.

The team raised $1,365, compared to

a iDaN o sborNe • D aily e gyptiaN A group of students from Herrin run into Campus Lake Saturday, during the annual Polar Plunge. The event, which benefits the Special Olympics, raised $21,373.94 from 436 participants.

$300 last year when it was just Stockton and Schroedter.

All of the proceeds go to Special Olympics.

The goal of next year’s event is to get the rest of the team involved, including coach Rick Walker and diving coach Joy Zhao.

Plant Services and Operations made the event possible. It provided backhoes, axes and the manual labor needed to cut the ice at about 3 p.m. Friday.

The lake refroze to about 1-inch thick by Saturday morning.

Paul Melzer, the event organizer and Special Olympics Area 15 director, said the re-clearing of the lake’s ice shelf started at

about 9 a.m. Saturday.

Sledgehammers and axes were used for the second part of the excavation, while Rend Lake search and rescue divers were on hand.

The Polar Plunge, a volunteer-driven organization, had more than 1,600 active volunteers at the event.

“It provides funding and support for those athletes in the [14] events we’re running on a year-round basis,” Melzer said.

With their competing season over, the Salukis participated for the bonding experience.

NEUTRALITY CONTINUED FROM

1

Todd Ihle, an undergraduate assistant network engineer, said the only companies against the ruling are the providers, while several others such as Google and Microsoft, were aligned with consumers.

The old system was a form of double dipping, Ihle said. People paid their provider to have access to the Internet.

Then, they paid a subscription fee to a service like Netflix, which gives some of that money to the provider.

“I should not, as a consumer, expect that a company would be held hostage for profit,” he said. “Especially by an Internet provider to give me a service I am already paying for.”

Ihle said this ruling, which allows true competition online, is best for consumers. Providers would have to compete based on the services they provide, not based on what sites they do and do not allow.

As good as the ruling is in theory,

semester editions run Monday through Thursday. Summer editions run Tuesday through Thursday. All intersession editions run on Wednesdays. Free copies are distributed in the Carbondale and Carterville communities. The Daily Egyptian online publication can be found at www.dailyegyptian.com.

there are still some aspects of net neutrality members of the public still may be unaware of.

Because of this, Tom Imboden, SIU associate professor of information systems technologies, remains skeptical.

“I like the idea that [Internet] traffic can’t be messed with and allowed to get to its destination just as any other,” Imboden said. “It was always built for everything to be treated equally. If the classification comes at the expense of privacy from the government, or other trade-offs we don’t know yet, it might not end up being a good thing.”

Any time there is an increase of government activity, questions of privacy arise. After the National Security Agency leaks by Edward Snowden revealed the government’s monitoring of citizens’ Internet browsing, online privacy has become increasingly publicized.

Woodward said she has taken several students to Germany to talk about online privacy, and Europeans asked

why Americans are not as interested in privacy. She said many people have become afraid of things like terrorism, so they want to feel safe.

Growing up in Germany, Woodward said Europeans are more active in defending their privacy, in lieu of security, because of how easily Adolf Hitler found all Jews.

“Do we need the government a lot more? It is what it is,” she asked.

“Benjamin Franklin said ‘Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.’”

She said she does not think the NSA has the man power to survey every single person, as many think.

Even with those concerns, there is still a possibility lawsuits will prolong the implementation of the rules.

The FCC’s original rules were struck down last year after Verizon appealed the claim the Internet was classified as a common carrier, typically classified as gas and oil pipelines. But now that the Internet is classified as a utility, it is unclear if an appeal could be made.

Letters to the Editor

Inclusion implies trust Dan Richardson

Makanda Speech Communication, 1994

I want to commend Johnathan Flowers on his opinion article in the February 24th edition of the DE. He makes a distinction between the numbers game of diversity and the activity of diversity itself. It is one thing to show charts and numbers; it’s another to show how impartiality is practiced in all areas of SIU. In a similar way, it’s one thing to treat hospitality as “a completed task;” it’s another to treat hospitality as “something you are.”

MOnday, March 2, 2015

Editorial cartoon

Flowers’ analysis helps us stay true to our goal: seeing people as individuals yet to be discovered, and known, and appreciated— regardless of race.

Flowers says the university can do more than just treat cultural education “as an elective requirement” and “spaces for inclusivity.” As I see it, education, in all its forms, is all SIU can do. As an organization, SIU can only create more attractive opportunities for engagement.

To be consistent, SIU must trust the students because inclusion implies trust. As individuals, it is up to us to think like Flowers, and promote respect and appreciation for all.

Protect and expand Amtrak Shane Nodurft Chicago

I am writing to inform you that I am very upset with Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut Illinois’ Amtrak routes by 40 percent. More people including the millennial generation are using Amtrak. Since the millennial generation

is notorious for ditching automobiles, the millennials need to get out and vote, so we do not get another anti-Amtrak governor. As a 41-year-old Midwest High Speed Rail Association member I am urging all millennials to write their elected officials and newspaper editors to protect and expand Amtrak.

Chase Myers

@Chasemyers_DE | Daily Egyptian

Little did the world know, a supporting actor for a Canadian teen show would snowball into one of the greatest hip-hop artists of the new millennium.

Aubrey “Drake” Graham, a rapper and singer from Toronto, has secured his place in the music industry since he dropped his first EP, “So Far Gone,” in 2009.

Drake’s ability to blend the worlds of hip-hop and R&B has been effective in expanding his fan base to both male and female audiences, releasing three successful albums and various singles through Young Money/ Cash Money Records.

Not only did Drake debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, but he is also tied with The Beatles with 14 simultaneous hits on the Billboard Top 100 Hits.

Drake unexpectedly released a mixtape “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” on Feb. 12, which was so successful it practically serves as his fourth studio album.

It is a preview to his new album “Views From the 6,” set to be released later this year.

Drake has always been an artist with no emotional restraint, rapping about past relationships and subject matter rarely touched on by other hip-hop artists.

“If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” reflects the emotional and tough sides of Drake more effectively than any of his past projects.

We get a taste of a newly acquired confidence in “Legend,” the first track of the album, where Drake explains how he has already made a legendary mark on the industry.

The album really picks up with

the second song “Energy,” which has been one of the most wellreceived songs thus far. Here, we catch a glimpse of a paranoid Drake; isolated by his fame and surrounded by people he cannot trust.

The third song “10 Bands” is one of my favorite songs off the mixtape. Drake has always had the ability to craft an outstanding party jam and this is definitely something to listen to before going out for the night.

He continues with “Know Yourself,” and probably the most popular hook of the entire album, which revolves around the phrase “running through the 6 with my woes.” The “6” refers to Toronto’s area codes, and woes to travelling around his hometown with his crew of friends.

The beat shifts its key right before the chorus, which is a great move in the song and changes the mood entirely, from dark to optimistic.

Every beat and flow in this album feels a little sluggish compared to the rest of Drake’s work. It is almost as if some songs need a faster tempo in order for the listener to stay interested.

The album’s energy picks back up with the song “Star 67,” a song modeled after a message on an answering machine. The beat includes various sound clips you would hear on a voicemail, adding to the the phone motif as Drake takes us through his recent journey through success.

Drake’s sensitive side continues to show in the song “Preach,” which features PARTYNEXTDOOR, a fellow Canadian artist and one of Drake’s closest collaborators.

This song has one of the most complex beats on the album and really takes you on a

journey by itself. The following interlude, also featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, provides the perfect break from the album and really nails the whimsical, dreamlike aesthetic.

The tempo picks back up with “Used To,” featuring Lil Wayne, a voice rarely heard in recent years.

The song features an evolved Wayne with a new voice but same metaphoric style.

There is quite a bit of controversy surrounding the lyrics in the next song, “6 God,” where Drake takes shots at labelmate Tyga and his rumored relationship with the underage Kylie Jenner.

There is no proof of an intimate relationship between the 25-yearold Tyga and 17-year-old Jenner.

The album stays rather uninteresting until the song “You & The 6,” which is a thoughtful ode to his mother, Sandi Graham, who raised him as a single parent.

Drake takes us through several issues he faced growing up and how his mother helped him.

Overall, the timing for this project was perfect. Ever since Beyonce’s last release, the idea of dropping music without warning has been working for other wellknown artists.

In comparison to his previous album “Nothing Was The Same,” this new collection is just as diverse, with heavy and slow songs.

It shows us a new, charismatic Drake who holds nothing back.

He even touches on his career as an actor on Degrassi, a topic he seldom mentions.

If this is only a preface to another album, then what is soon to come is surely on a whole new level for Drake, and the entire hip-hop industry.

Sex: Maslow’s best basic need DE After Dark Branda Mitchell

@BrandaM_DE | Daily Egyptian

Abraham Maslow was definitely onto something when he theorized people prioritize sex and food over everything else.

Sex is a part of our lives whether

you are having a ton of it, not enough of it or you have recently been on the Internet for more than five minutes.

Even with sex bombarding all aspects of our culture—I am looking at you, every advertisement ever—there is a serious lack of productive conversation.

This problem coupled with my lack of filter and tendency to overshare brings you the best thing since contraception: a place for

us to openly discuss what puts the dirty in the ‘Dale.

Spoiler alert: your parents had sex to make you. Getting down to business is not new and not going anywhere. There is no need to be embarrassed, ashamed or offended.

This column will serve to inform, advise and tell you all about my relevant rendezvous.

The idea that sex is controversial to discuss in a public forum is the problem itself. Sex is relevant to

everyone; therefore people should feel comfortable enough to talk about it.

So if you do not know what to do when you need the morningafter pill on Saturday and the Student Health Center is closed for two days or you want to read about my latest interaction with a penis piercing, you have come to the right place.

I am going to talk about the information you need to know and the fun stories you want

to know. Going forward, share your thoughts, stories and ask the questions you need to have answered so we can talk about sex.

TV review: Will ‘House of Cards’ come tumbling down?

Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times

Be careful what you wish for.

That old axiom is at play early on in Season 3 of “House of Cards.”

Fans who binge-watched the first two rounds of Netflix’s political thriller know by now that dastardly Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey), with the aid of wife Claire (Robin Wright), connived and backstabbed his way from Congress to the vice presidency to the Oval Office.

Game over? Not quite. Especially

now that the dream job has become a nightmare.

As the still-gripping drama returns, Frank’s approval ratings are in the toilet. Unemployment has soared to scary heights, and a Republican-controlled Congress is thwarting him at every turn. Even leaders in his own party regard him as toxic. So much for enjoying the spoils of victory.

“House of Cards” has always been at its most fun when ruthless Frank and his gorgeous partner-in-slime have to extricate

themselves from trouble while outwitting and outplaying their foes. But the problem, especially in a highly uneven Season 2, was that the obstacles weren’t daunting enough, and the game got too easy. If Washington, D.C., is the raging snake pit “House of Cards” cynically portrays it as, Frank was a boa constrictor among a bunch of puny garters.

That’s why the overwhelming pressure being felt by the president and first lady _ at least in the six episodes Netflix made available for

review _ brings a much-needed new dynamic to the show. Frank still doesn’t have one formidable adversary going toe-to-toe with him, unless you count the thuggish Russian president played by Lars Mikkelsen. Instead, he’s being besieged on nearly every front by various rivals who smell blood, and that’s a change for the better.

It’s compelling, after all, to see Frank display levels of desperation and vulnerability we haven’t witnessed before. The arrogant man who routinely turns to the camera

to brag about how he is one or two steps ahead of everybody else is now way off balance, alternately lashing out at Cabinet members and slipping into bouts of dark despair.

Of course, he still has Claire to lean on, and an intriguing scene in Episode 2 reinforces just how vital a role she plays in helping the prez retain his mojo. On the other hand, this season Claire has her own power-grabbing ambitions in mind, and it’s interesting to see how her self-interests occasionally thrust her into conflict with her husband.

Terriers enter regional SIU ends regular season on a win competition as top dogs Thomas Donley

@TdonleyDE | Daily Egyptian

The Murphysboro Illinois High School Association Class 3A girls basketball regional two weeks ago was one of the most competitive postseason pools in southern Illinois.

Those same five schools— Muprhysboro, Carbondale, Herrin, Marion and Massac County—will meet in Metropolis this week for the Massac County boys basketball regional, but the competitive balance is not quite the same.

The Terriers are ranked No. 9 in Class 3A by the Illinois Associated Press and hold the top seed in the regional.

“You have four teams, and then you have Carbondale,” Murphysboro coach Daryl Murphy said.

At 22-5, Carbondale has the best record in the group, just a game

better than No. 2 seed Murphysboro (21-6). The two teams played Feb. 3.

Carbondale won, 78-53.

No other team in the regional has a winning record. Third-seeded Marion ended the season with an 11-14 record.

The Wildcats did give Carbondale a close game Jan. 30, taking the Terriers to overtime before falling 53-52.

Carbondale won the first meeting of the season 57-26 on Dec. 5.

Terrier coach Jim Miller said he and his coaching staff will try to make sure their players stay humble.

“As coaches, we don’t take anybody lightly,” Miller said. “But convincing 16-, 17-, 18-year-old kids that teams are good, and you’re going to get their best game every time you step on the floor is a hard sell sometimes.”

The Dawgs claimed the win on Senior Night, the last home game of the season. SIU will be the ninth seed in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. SIU will play against No. 8 Missouri at State at 6:05 p.m. Thursday.

SIU wins eight at MVC Indoor Championships Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

SIU finished the Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championships with eight MVC championships, and 16 All-MVC honorees.

Before the weekend, both teams were picked to finish third but the women finished just 3 points behind Indiana State in second and the men finished in fourth.

Saturday was a quick start for the Salukis with four individual champions and seven total All-MVC honors. The

men finished the day in first, and the women in third.

SIU swept the weight throw with the help of seniors DeAnna Price and Curtis Wideman, earning the first championships of the weekend.

Price won her first ever MVC Championship with a throw of 21.06 meters. With the victory, she became SIU’s 10th women’s weight throw champion in coach John Smith’s 11 tries.

Defending champion, senior Sophia

d aily e Gyptian F ile p hoto Raven Saunders, pictured here practicing the hammer throw last November in the Recreation Center, placed first in the shot put during the Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championships where the women finished second and the men finished fourth. Saunders won with a throw of 17.98 meters.

Lozano finished second with a throw of 20.56 meters. Sophomore Freya Block, junior Alexus Scott and freshman Raven Saunders finished sixth, eighth and ninth respectively. Block earned All-MVC honors for her finish.

Wideman had been an All-MVC honoree before Saturday, but his throw of 20.79 meters was his first MVC Championship. Junior Bradley Sauer and junior Josh Freeman finished second and sixth, respectively. Sauer was a 2013 NCAA weight throw national qualifier but finished with All-MVC honors this year.

SIU’s third championship of the day came from senior Lauren Cheadle who won her second-straight indoor MVC long jump title. Cheadle jumped 6.17 meters for the victory, which built on her standing as No. 1 in the MVC and No. 3 all-time on SIU’s indoor list.

The jump also added six inches to her personal record.

The fourth and final championship of the day came from the distance medley relay team—its first championship since 2001. Seniors Mobola Rotibi, Kelley Gallagher and Allison Gallo, along with sophomore Victoria Archie won the race with a time of 11:53.22, capturing the victory by less than one second.

The final All-MVC honor for the Salukis on Saturday came from senior Juan Carrera. Carrera finished third in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 14:31.24, a 10-second increase on his personal best. This was Carrera’s first all-conference honor for track, but he was a two-time All-MVC cross-country runner during his career at SIU.

While the men’s pole vault team did not record a victory or All-MVC performance, it finished with five scorers. Sophomore Chad Weaver led the team with a jump of 5.08 meters to finish fourth. Junior Jonathan Walsh and senior Alex Lietz tied for fifth and sophomore Nathan Schuck and freshman Chase Black finished seventh and eighth respectively.

Vaults coach Brian Porter continued his impressive career in only his third year as a coach at SIU. After Saturday’s performance, Porter’s vaulters now hold three spots in the all-time top-10 SIU pole vault records.

On Sunday, the Salukis added four more MVC championships and nine All-MVC honors.

Much like Saturday’s weight throw sweep, the Salukis dominated the shot put with Saunders and Freeman winning the events.

Saunders won the event with a throw of 17.98 meters. She was joined on the podium by senior Ashley Gaston who finished second to earn an All-MVC honor. Price and junior Alexus Scott also earned points for the Salukis finishing fourth and seventh, respectively.

Freeman won the men’s event with a throw of 18.66 meters. Freeman was the outdoor MVC shot put champion the last two years and earned All-MVC honors both years indoors. Wideman finished second.

Senior Jeff Stewart and Sauer finished sixth and seventh respectively to earn the Salukis points.

Freshman Lindsey Murray continued her dominant year in pole

vault with a MVC championship on a jump of 4.18 meters.

Sophomore Katie Trupp, senior Caselyn Harding and sophomore Cara Engel finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Trupp’s jump of 3.98 meters was a personal best.

In the men’s high jump, sophomore Kyle Landon defended his indoor MVC championship with a jump of 2.10 meters.

The Salukis also had All-MVC finishes from three other athletes on Sunday.

Junior Remy Abrought finished second in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.43 seconds, just a tenth of a second behind racewinner Nikki Larch-Miller, a Wichita State sophomore.

Senior Cetrena Simmons finished second in the high jump with a height of 1.69 meters. This was tied with Indiana State sophomore LeVisa Evans who won the event, completing the height in two jumps as opposed to Simmons’ three.

The final All-MVC performance of the weekend came from senior Luke James, who finished second in the triple jump with a distance of 15.69 meters. Loyola senior James McLachlan won the event with a distance of 15.91 meters.

Qualified Salukis will compete at the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 13 in Fayetteville, Ark. The entire team will compete in the first outdoor event at the Bill Cornell Spring Classic on March 27 at the Lew Hartzog Track and Field Complex.
