Bernie voters hit the streets

VOL. 100 ISSUE 59

BIILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Bernie Sanders supporters are ramping up efforts in Carbondale as the Illinois primary draws near. About 120 people attended a rally Sunday at the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign office at 715 S. University Ave. Sanders fans, draped in Bernie garb, manned phones, demonstrated on Illinois Avenue and went door to door to promote their pick for president. Southern Illinois native Ben Woolard, a 2012 graduate of SIUC, said he organized the event to bolster support in an area that traditionally tends to vote Republican. “I just felt like, ‘If you’re going to talk the talk, might as well walk the walk,’” Woolard said. The rally was about “getting people pumped up” and spreading the word to potential voters by phone banking and canvassing as much as possible before March 15, Woolard said. The Democratic contest uses statewide voting results to determine how many delegates will be awarded to each candidate from each district. There are 156 delegates — about 7 percent of the total needed to win at the Democratic National Convention — up for grabs in Illinois next week. Armed with a clipboard and a handful of pamphlets, small business owner Retha Daugherty, 65, of Carbondale, said she wanted to spend her Sunday afternoon knocking on doors because she thinks Sanders has the best policies concerning climate change and getting corporate money out of government. “He’s the only one who cares about the things that I care about,” she said, adding that it is the first time she has been truly enthusiastic for a candidate since Democrat George McGovern in 1972. “This is our best hope since then, and by God we have to do it this time,” Daugherty said.

Young, old rally against state budget crisis ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Andrew Bynom, a lecturer at SIU’s Center for English as a Second Language, stood among nearly 100 demonstrators along Carbondale’s Main Street on Saturday to raise awareness of how the state’s budget impasse is painfully affecting southern Illinois. Bynom, who stood next to the railroad tracks holding a sign with the words “Fair Budget Now,” said he is among the faculty in his department waiting to receive a notice at the end of the semester saying whether or not they will still have jobs next year. “We have absolutely no idea whether our contracts will be cut or not,” he said

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

during the rally, which was organized by the Peace Coalition of Southern Illinois and the campus’ Faculty Association. “It’s appalling because there is a complete lack of care from our politicians.” For more than eight months, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democratic Legislature have been unable to negotiate a state budget, leaving universities and colleges without funding since July 1. During the gathering next to the Town Square Pavilion, former Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon called the stalemate inexcusable and irrational. “I think all of us have the obligation to do what we can to let folks in Springfield know that this is a crisis for southern Illinois — for all of us” Simon said.

John A. Logan College in Carterville announced last week it will lay off 55 employees this fall. Bret Seferian, who works with about 3,600 SIU and John A. Logan employees as an Illinois Education Association regional director, said John A. Logan students are organizing protests every day next week. He said SIU students may not realize how much their school is hurting. “People have got to be aware of the damages this is going to do,” he said. “And, more importantly, the damage that is done when you lay faculty off is not something you can just un-do.” Ethan Stephenson, a graduate assistant in English, said funding

for GAs in the College of Liberal Arts has been secured through the fall semester, but he does not know if that will continue. He said any cuts to graduate assistants has the potential to affect the kind of education freshman get. “It doesn’t make any sense to me to cut funding when it seems counterintuitive for educating the next group of people who are going to take control of the state,” said Stephenson, who received his bachelor’s degree from Eastern Illinois University — one of the schools that has laid off employees because of financial uncertainty. “[Graduate assistants] are the backbone of the education system for students.” Please see RALLY | 3

New support group open to victims of sexual assault

Canvassing for Bernie

TIERRA CARPENTER @TIERRAMC_DE

Victims of sexual assault have a new resource on campus. Counseling and Psychological Services now offers a free support group for sexual assault survivors who are students at SIU and are eligible for Student Health Services. The department has offered group therapy before, but never anything as specialized as this, said Jaime Clark, director of Counseling and Psychological Services. The group, which first met last week, gathers from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays in the CAPS office on the second floor of the Student Health Center. Staff psychologist Abigail Bilderback said the service wanted to implement group therapy so students could work toward their goals together in a structured and safe environment, something previous students have asked for. “Survivors are impacted really individually and have many different responses, but there are some themes individuals may go through that can be helpful to process in a group setting,” she said. Bilderback said they discuss topics such as the impact of sexual assaults on relationships, coping, rebuilding relationships and self care, to name a few. Group therapy, which consists of nine students, isn’t for everyone, but it is the treatment of choice for some, she said. “It really depends on where the student is in their healing process and what their presenting issues are,” Bilderback said. Clark said she encourages students to share their ideas about needed services so they can possibly be implemented into the program. “It is our goal and mission to provide the most comprehensive and well rounded services to the students especially after going through such a traumatic event,” she said. Students hoping to join the group are required to complete a screening, which should be made by appointment at 618453-5371.

Members of the campaign went door to door in the building informing students about early voting options and how to register to vote. Vargas became involved with the local campaign early and now assists in organizing other students. “At our age we are still learning a lot,” Vargas said. “People think [politics] is one of those things you can slide into once you get older, but it is important now.”

Budget impasse forcing some students to question future SUZANNE BAKER NAPERVILLE SUN

Benedictine University junior Samantha Triani is just two semesters away from completing her business degree in management and organizational behavior. How she’s going to pay for her final year, however, is uncertain because Illinois Republicans and Democrats can’t agree on a state budget this fiscal year, nor have they started appropriating money for next year. The Plainfield resident is one of 130,000 college students statewide who receive a grant through the state’s Monetary Award Program. Up to a maximum of $4,720, which does not need to be repaid, was supposed to be awarded through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to Illinois residents who attend approved Illinois colleges and demonstrate financial need. Area schools like Benedictine

Sanders has thus far outperformed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in eight states and secured a total of 459 delegates. Clinton has led Sanders in 11 states — many of them in the South — and has more than half the delegates needed to win the nomination. But Sanders is still polling especially well among

University in Lisle and North Central College in Naperville, where a third of both schools’ student populations receive some type of MAP grant, have floated students this school year with the understanding that the state will fund the grants once a budget is finally approved. Students now are questioning if the practice will continue in the next school year or if colleges might force students to cover the floated money if the state doesn’t come through with the full amount. Appropriations for MAP grants and all state spending are on hold at the moment until the governor and state legislators in Springfield can hash out a budget that was supposed to start July 1. The Democratic-controlled House on Thursday approved a bill giving the state comptroller the authority to fund social service programs, as well as MAP grants and higher education institutions.

younger voters, and the trend showed at the campaign office. “Honestly, I’ve always been really, really passionate about politics,” said Camille Stone, a sophomore from Villa Park studying communications who plans to cast her first vote for Sanders as president in the 2016 election. “This is my first time I’ve really gone out and volunteered, and I’m having a great time doing it.” Stone has worked alongside other Sanders

The bill, which needs Senate approval, is expected to be vetoed by Gov. Bruce Rauner. The move came the day after Democrats tried to override Rauner’s veto of a similar appropriations bill. While the Senate managed enough votes to override Rauner’s action, the effort came up two votes short of the three-fifths needed in the House. The uncertain state of MAP funding leaves Triani and other college students who receive MAP money worried. “I am definitely scared for next year. I am thinking about taking out another loan,” said Triani, who is starting to register for the 201617 academic year. Her MAP grant helps pay for tuition while she works to cover the costs of room and board. Approaching her senior year, Triani said dropping out is not an option, nor is attending community college.

supporters since the Carbondale campaign office opened last week. She even hit the road with friends Friday to see Sanders in person at the SIUEdwardsville rally. “It was so empowering,” she said of the event at SIUE. “It just put a lot of things in perspective and makes me feel really good about all the work I’ve been putting in.” Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3329.

Dems advance latest higher ed bill, take another stab at union measure MONIQUE GARCIA, CELESTE BOTT CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Democrats once again sought to bolster their election-year campaign attack fodder against Republicans on Thursday, voting for the latest plan to fund higher education and another union-backed measure to prevent a worker lockout or strike following earlier vetoes by Gov. Bruce Rauner. Neither proposal is expected to become law — Rauner opposes both measures, and Democrats in the House have been unable to remain united to overturn the governor. But calling the bills for votes provides roll calls that can be used in mailers and TV ads in which Democrats can say they voted to fund education and support unions while most Republicans were opposed. The action marked the second straight day of political gamesmanship at the Capitol. On Wednesday, House Democrats were unable to override Rauner’s veto of a bill to funnel $721 million to community colleges and scholarships for low-income students tied up in the budget stalemate. Instead, House Speaker Michael Madigan doubled down, bringing forth a different proposal Thursday that would provide more than $3.5 billion for higher education, as well as dozens of other programs including rape crisis centers, meals for seniors, violence prevention and mental health. The spending would be partially paid for by tapping into specialized funds and allowing the state to forgo repaying $450 million it borrowed from similar funds to plug a budget hole last year, a concept Rauner suggested in his latest budget proposal. Madigan’s office characterized the legislation as a “compromise” because it relied on an idea from Rauner, though the governor’s office was quick to dismiss the plan as a gimmick. Before the vote, Rauner budget chief Tim Nuding sent a memo to lawmakers saying the state had no way to pay for the billions of dollars in additional spending. He declared the legislation a “giant step backward” as Illinois enters a record-breaking ninth month without a complete budget. “It’s just really, really sad that we’re continuing down a process of more political propaganda,” said House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie of Chicago said Democrats were not suggesting “we

have all the revenues in this needed to meet the need,” but passing the legislation would allow those struggling without any funding from the state to get in line for possible payment. Currie said it was up to the comptroller’s office to continue to prioritize which programs rise to the top of the pile of bills to be paid, likening the role to “triage.” The measure now heads to the Senate. Earlier Thursday, the Senate sent Rauner a separate labor-backed measure that would prevent a lockout or strike if talks with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and other unions reach an impasse, instead sending the matter to binding arbitration.

live. Rauner has endorsed McCann’s Republican primary challenger in one of the most hotly contested legislative races pitting the governor and his allies against union interests. Also Thursday, the House overwhelmingly supported a measure to give Chicago an elected school board. While praised as proof legislators can work together across the aisle despite larger differences, it’s more likely another example of providing political cover before the primary, particularly for city Democrats. There’s been increasing outcry to shake things up at Chicago Public Schools amid a financial crisis that’s seen the district lay off workers while seeking a bailout from the state.

“It’s just really, really sad that we’re continuing down a process of more political propaganda.” - Jim Durkin of Western Springs

A similar bill passed the General Assembly last year but was vetoed by Rauner. An override effort failed in the House. The latest effort followed Rauner’s request that the Illinois Labor Relations Board determine whether his administration and AFSCME have reached a stage in their protracted contract negotiations that would allow him to bypass further talks and impose his own terms on the roughly 38,000 state workers the union represents. That review could take months, and Rauner and the union have agreed to keep workers on the job in the meantime. But if Rauner ultimately succeeds in putting a stop to the talks, the union will have to decide whether to go on strike for the first time. Republicans argue the bill is an attempt by the union to force a contract on the state that it cannot afford, while Democrats say it’s intended to stop a possible work disruption under a governor who has repeatedly tried to erode the power of organized labor. In the end, it was approved 38-17, with two Republicans voting in favor. They were Sen. Neil Anderson of Rock Island and Sen. Sam McCann of Plainview, who also backed the bill last time. McCann’s district includes Springfield, where many union state workers

“CPS is in crisis. We’ve been facing devastating cuts, continually operating in crisis mode and instability all around,” said Rep. Ann Williams, D-Chicago. “(The appointed school board) is not working for CPS kids. There’s no accountability, no semblance of democracy or democratic process. There’s no opportunity for input and there’s no checks and balances.” Despite the strong support in the House, it’s unclear if the measure will move through the Senate, where President John Cullerton is tightly aligned with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has long opposed an elected school board. Asked about the legislation Thursday, Emanuel said the real issue is how Illinois funds schools. “That legislation doesn’t address all these inequities, and that’s what I’m focused on adjusting,” Emanuel said. As he has in the past when asked about that opposition, Emanuel tried to argue that the local school councils at each Chicago school are like elected school boards. “As you know, we have elected school boards for every school, and they’re active, it’s the largest democratic body in the country,” he said.

a single mother who attends John A. Logan, stood among the crowd with an arm around each of her two sons. All three of Rangitsch’s teachers this semester received layoff notices. “I brought them because, whether

they know it or not, they are affected by this,” she said of her children. Anna Spoerre can be reached at aspoerre@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

The workshop, which was sponsored by the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce, is part of a year-long project documenting life in the city of Carbondale. Under the direction of Mark Dolan, an associate professor in the school of journalism, and visiting industry professionals, students took to Carbondale beginning at sunrise Friday and ending at sunset Sunday.

Budget impass threatens SIU postseason play SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

If the Saluki basketball season is to continue, it’ll require a berth in a postseason tournament. But the team may not accept an invite because of the lack of a state budget. “We will not pay to play to compete in a postseason tournament when people are getting ready to losing their jobs,” SIU coach Barry Hinson said after his team was eliminated from its conference tournament Friday. The unprecedented move to deny a tournament invite is just another example of how the budget impasse is affecting universities. The question comes into play after Northern Iowa used a strong second-half shooting performance to down the Salukis in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament quarterfinals, 66-60. “I’ve walked off this floor 13 times in my career, and sometimes you walk off the floor, and you’re disgusted how you play or this or that,” Hinson said. “I just told a group of 12 individuals in the locker room that I couldn’t be any prouder of them.” SIU never led in the game, but tied it with 2:16 left on an and-one from freshman guard Armon Fletcher after being down by as much as 10 in the second half. “Armon capitalized on that andone,” junior forward Sean O’Brien said. “We just knew we had to get a couple stops at the end there and couldn’t get them.” Four-straight free throws by UNI gave the team a lead that would stand the rest of the game. Fletcher finished with 11 points and five rebounds. He said after the game that his performance was one he can carry into next season. “It’s a confidence booster knowing I can play with the guys in this conference,” he said. “I just credit my teammates and coaches for the confidence to go out there.”

As for the future of the season, it is uncertain if the Dawgs will accept a payto-play tournament bid due to Illinois’ budget impasse. The College Basketball Invitational and CollegeInsider.com Tournament both require teams to pay a fee to compete. Hinson said the school will only participate if a profit can be made, unless university administrators OK entry. In the game on the floor, poor shooting and turnovers once again plagued the Dawgs as SIU went 13-32 from the floor in the second half and committed 18 turnovers overall. “We just shot ourselves in the foot too many times,” junior forward Sean O’Brien said. “You can’t turn the ball over 18 times and beat a good team.” O’Brien had a double-double with 12 points and team-high 12 rebounds. UNI shot 50 percent and 15-18 from the free-throw line in the second half to carry the Panthers to victory, including four free throws by junior guard Jeremy Morgan. Offensively, the Panthers were led by Morgan’s 18 points and four rebounds. Senior guard Wes Washpun and Bennett Koch each had 11 points. Despite his starters’ strong efforts, UNI coach Ben Jacobson said his team’s bench players were the difference in the victory. Sophomore guard Wyatt Lohaus had nine points, and sophomore forward Klint Carlson added eight. SIU was led by senior guard Anthony Beane with 17 points in his final Arch Madness contest. He said he reminisced on his career as the clock struck zeroes. “Just everything that we’ve been through as a team and how this team stuck together, through the good times, through the bad times,” he said. “We were all positive for each other and we were all there for each other. Not much we can do.” Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com

Baird shuts down Hawkeyes on the hill

Isaiah Cotton | Daily Egyptian Sophomore infielder Greg Lambert slides into first base during Saturday’s 7-5 loss to Iowa at Itchy Jones Stadium. Lambert scored a run in the game.

TED WARD | @TedWard_DE

A strong pitching performance from sophomore pitcher Michael Baird kept Iowa’s bats quiet as SIU baseball won the three-game series with a 6-1 win on Sunday. Baird earned the win, pitching 7 2/3 innings giving up six hits and striking out two with one earned run. He said he felt like he had really good command of his pitches and got a big help from his fielders. “Everything was working today from my pitches to the defense behind me,” he said. “With the way our pitchers have been throwing the ball there’s definitely a pressure to step up and perform and I really like being the Sunday starter because I have a chance to either win the series, save it, or sweep it.” The Salukis got on the board early in the third inning after an RBI single by junior outfielder Jake Hand. They never trailed as they tallied 15 hits.

“We’ve been hitting really well and taking good swings at hittable pitches,” he said. “We’ve also been more balanced this season whereas last season we’d have good pitching and bad hitting and vice versa.” Coming off the 7-5 loss on Saturday, coach Ken Henderson said he was encouraged by his team’s performance and felt confident with his starting pitcher. “Anytime you give Baird the ball you feel confident he’ll give you a solid outing,” he said. “I thought our hitters did a nice job making solid contact and driving the ball and even our outs were good because we swung at pitches in the zone and didn’t strikeout a lot today.” The Salukis play Belmont at 4 p.m. on Tuesday in Nashville, Tenn.

SIU softball splits doubleheader AUSTIN MILLER | @AMiller_DE

Sarah Gardner | @rabbitearz Senior center Ibby Djimde attempts a block during the Salukis’ 66-60 loss to the University of Northern Iowa on Friday during the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Louis.

Junior third baseman Ryan Sabo doubled in a run to put the Salukis up 2-0 in the fourth. Sophomore catcher Nick Hutchins scored on a past ball in the sixth. Junior infielder Will Farmer drove in two runs in the seventh on a double and sophomore infielder Connor Kopach singled in another in the same inning to put the game out of reach. The Hawkeyes loaded the bases against Baird in the sixth but a 5-4-3 double play started by Sabo ended the threat. Hawkeye senior pitcher Calvin Mathews took the loss allowing two runs on seven hits in four innings of work. Iowa scored its only run in the eighth off sophomore closer Ryan Netemeyer but failed to score in the ninth. Sophomore first baseman Logan Blackfan, who went 3-5 with one run scored, said it has been a positive to have the bats show up this weekend.

One thing became clear for SIU softball on Sunday — as the team’s pitching goes, the team goes. The Salukis (9-7) split their final two games of the Coach B Classic, losing to the Kansas Jayhawks 10-4 and beating the Butler Bulldogs 11-1. Pitching proved to be the biggest factor in both games, with the Salukis throwing well in the second game but not in the first. Sophomore pitcher Savanna Dover walked six batters in five innings and allowed seven earned runs. Dover (2-5, 5.33 ERA) cruised through the first three innings against the Jayhawks (11-8), allowing zero hits with three strikeouts. But the game came apart in the fourth inning as Kansas brought all nine batters to the plate, something the Jayhawks did three-straight innings. Dover pitched in Saturday’s loss to Butler, giving up five earned runs and four walks in 2.2 innings pitched.

Freshman pitcher Brianna Jones (72, 1.85 ERA) relieved Dover in the sixth inning and gave up one unearned run. The Saluki bats came alive in the sixth inning, scoring four runs to prevent the game ending because of the 10-run rule. Senior shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez led the inning with a solo home run, her first of the season. In game two, the Salukis had a rematch against Butler, and carried some of the momentum the built at the end of game one. Jones stayed on the mound, pitching a complete game with seven strikeouts, one walk and one run. The Manchester, Tenn., native said was aware that she hadn’t allowed a hit until the fourth inning. Aside from the momentum Jones brought on the mound, got out to a quick lead against the Bulldogs. Harre hit her tean-leading fourth homer on a 2-0 pitch that she said was right down the middle in the second inning, to push the Saluki lead to 7-0.

“I’m not really looking to go for anything, I’m just always looking for solid contact,” she said. “If it goes out, it goes out.” The Nashville native finished the day 4-6 with 4 RBIs. SIU had two more home runs in the game, one from freshman outfielder Hanna Porter to start the second innings and one from sophomore catcher/infielder Sydney Jones. Jones, who went 3-3 at the plate with three RBIs, said she wanted to bounce after going 0 for her last 5. “I’m just trying to hit the ball hard, honestly,” she said. “I just tried to really hit the ball hard and do something to help score some runs.” Harre (.386) and Jones (.381) are first and second on the team in batting average. The Dawgs hit seven home runs in four games of the Coach B Classic. After their first homestand of the 2016 season, the Salukis go back on the road during spring break for the USF Under Armour Invitational in
