Obama unviels Student Aid Bill of Rights Sarah Gardner

@rabbitearz93 | Daily Egyptian

With student loan debt in the U.S. topping $1.3 trillion, President Barack Obama unveiled his plan to help the more than 40 million Americans who feel trapped under insurmountable student loans. The president laid out his plan Tuesday during an address at Georgia Institute of Technology. He outlined the major points of what he is calling a Student Bill of Rights again in a conference call with student media Wednesday. “I want every student to have access to a quality, affordable education at a college that’s lowering cost and increasing learning,” Obama said. “Every student should be able to access the resources to pay for college… and every borrower has the right to quality customer service, reliable information and fair treatment, even when they’re struggling to repay their loans.” The Department of Education released state-by-state data showing the number of borrowers and total outstanding balances as of January. Illinois ranks No. 7 for total debt with 1.8 million borrowers accumulating nearly $50 billion in debt. The Obama administration committed to a series of steps it says will minimize that debt and ensure borrowers are treated reasonably and fairly. During the conference call, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in addition to working to keep college costs low on the front end, the Department of Education and other federal entities will take the following actions to make paying for higher education easier: t By July of 2016, establish a website that will act as a streamlined way for students to file complaints and receive timely responses to any issues with lenders, collection agencies or institutions of higher education. t Make sure banks that service federal loans are held to high standards and provide better information to borrowers. t Raise the bar for debt collection, so that agencies are fair and reasonable when dealing with borrowers, are transparent and help students get back on track when they need help. t Improve customer service by finding better ways to communicate and help borrowers make smart decisions about repayment, and creating a centralized process for repaying all their loans.

Dunn talks potential impact of budget cuts As many as 1,000 SIU courses could be cut if Gov. Rauner’s budget passes.

Dunn said proposed cuts could wipe away $500M in the southern Illinois economy. Dunn said the impending minimum wage increase will cost SIU $2M and the university system about $2.8M.

Dunn estimated a 2 to 5 percent tuition increase as a result of the cuts. b rAnDA M ItcHEll

SIU President Randy Dunn and some of his top aides traveled to Springfield on Thursday to discuss the repercussions of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed budget cuts. A Senate budget committee convened in the state’s capitol to hear from Dunn as well as officials from Eastern Illinois University and Western Illinois University. The officials discussed their plans to deal with the cut and fielded questions from the state legislators. All schools expressed apprehension at any cut of state funding to higher education. Rauner’s budget, proposed Feb. 18, called for a 31 percent decrease in state appropriations to public universities. Dunn told the committee the cuts would not only affect the Carbondale campus, SIU-Edwardsville and the SIU School of Medicine in Springfield, but families and students throughout Illinois. He said SIU is the largest employer south of the state capitol, and budget cuts can lead to a loss of jobs, which would cause the state to lose jobs to Kentucky and Indiana. “Any cut has an impact,” Dunn said. “Things are going to disappear and people are going to lose jobs.”

He said other factors, such as raising the minimum wage, will cut into SIU’s funds. Dunn said the SIU Board of Trustees will discuss increasing tuition at its April meeting. Dunn expressed a reluctance in raising tuition, saying it would hurt SIU’s affordability for many people. Two calls for further comment on Sunday to Dunn were unreturned.

OBAMA CONTINUED FROM

Duncan said these steps build on the initiatives the Obama administration has already been working on in the past several years, including Obama’s state of the union proposal to make two years of community college free. Another of his initiatives is the pay-as-you-earn plan—which Obama made available last June— that caps federal loan payments to 10 percent of the borrower’s income. Duncan said there are approximately 3 million people enrolled in the program, a fourfold increase in the last year. Both the president and Duncan stressed the importance of states financially supporting higher education.

“We want to challenge states to re-invest in higher education,” Duncan said. “States cut their investment, universities jack up their tuition and then universities themselves have to do a better job [of being more effective.]” He said it should not become a partisan issue, as all people should be in favor of supporting education, which contributes to an effective workforce and strong economy. “We should not be putting higher ed against K-12 against early childhood education,” Duncan said. “We have to think about this as a continuum from cradle to career.” The four articles of the bill read: Every student deserves access to a quality,

affordable education at a college that’s cutting costs and increasing learning. Every student should be able to access the resources needed to pay for college. Every borrower has the right to an affordable repayment plan. And every borrower has the right to quality customer service, reliable information, and fair treatment, even if they struggle to repay their loans. The president urged all who agree with the statements to sign their names at whitehouse.gov/ collegeopportunity to express their support for the plan. “We can’t allow higher education to become a luxury,” Obama said.

Student government: It’s now or never to pass ACA-compliant health plan Matt Ryg

GPSC President

Cameron Shulak USG President

SIUC students are united in calling for quality and affordable healthcare. In 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as “Obamacare.” This bill raised the standards for health insurance nationwide. Currently, however, SIUC’s Student Health Insurance does not meet the standard of federal law. Together, both the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) call on the SIU Board of Trustees to pass the proposal— selected and vetted by students— to bring ACA-compliant health insurance to students. During the 2014-2015 academic year, SIUC students paid an insurance fee of $437 per semester. In the 2015-2016 academic year, an ACA-compliant plan would cost $148 more per student per semester for an unprecedented range of new

benefits. Although many of the details of the two plans are the same, including the deductible, maximum out-of-pocket, and coinsurance ratio, there are many

new benefits to be gained under the new plan, including but not limited to those shown in the table below. The student body at SIUC has repeatedly expressed

its interest in and support for an ACA-compliant insurance plan. Students are willing to pay more for higher quality health insurance. Students have done

their due diligence in researching alternative and affordable health insurance options: we have worked for years to bring this proposal to our Board Of Trustees for approval. The student health insurance program is at a vital crossroads—either the new ACA-compliant plan is adopted or SIUC will cease to offer student health insurance during the next academic year. This would adversely impact more than 11,000 students at SIUC who currently enroll in the plan. We support the proposal of our university administration to increase the Student Insurance Fee and bring the minimum health insurance required by federal law to the students of our university. We respectfully ask that the SIU Board of Trustees hear our call and vote for a new student insurance plan at SIUC. If you are a student who would benefit from an ACA-compliant insurance plan, a parent or community member with stake in the issue, we humbly ask that you reach out to our board, and let your opinion be known.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, would you be cool with being in an open relationship?â&#x20AC;? This was the first time I had been asked if sleeping with other people was okay prior to it happening. Eventually, this question led to a first of many experiences in the nontraditional realm of romance. Like any person who is not used to sharing, I immediately got defensive at the idea of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands in my cookie jar. My new boyfriend explained this was how he operated with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;monogamy is unnaturalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speech, completely surprised that I was unaware of his lifestyle. I thought this was weird, yet I was still intrigued. After doing more hours of research than I care to admit, I had convinced myself that I could give it a whirl. If only 3 to 5 percent of species were monogamous, then I could handle being in the majority. For the first few weeks, it was fun. I enjoyed my freedom and made a new friend. My boyfriend and I did not openly discuss our escapades, but we both knew what was happening when we were not together on a Friday night.

As a person of science, I continually reminded myself of the facts: Monogamy is a cultural expectation, humans have animal instincts and fidelity is indicative of a relationshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in our society. Even knowing these things to be true, I was still curious about the weekends I spent at home alone and started asking questions. My behavior quickly began to resemble a dog who does not like the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new puppy. Being jealous or territorial does not work in these types of relationships, so I ended it completely. Although my free love lifestyle was short lived, I learned some things about expectations: 1. Sharing may not be caring I spent the majority of that time convincing myself I was okay with something I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Polyamory is totally fine for people who can handle it, but some people simply cannot. Jealousy is very real and can cause a serious rift. Suppressing your real feelings will lead to resentment, which ultimately ruins any relationship. Ultimately, I was not down with the cause no matter how hard I tried to be. 2. Circumstances matter There is a difference between casually dating and being in a defined open relationship. I can be casual and totally okay with it, but I cannot develop serious feelings for multiple people at one time. I

can barely make sure my own problems are handled, so I cannot keep up with three people. 3. Ground rules are important If you are going to venture into the world of being open, do not do it blindly. Establish boundaries and rules so you know where the other person stands. Having an initial open discussion lays the groundwork for good communication. For example, I strongly suggest discussing threesomes before you find someone in your significant otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed, because it just gets awkward. 4. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risky business When it comes to your health, having multiple partners increases your risk for just about everything. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re indirectly sleeping with everyone your partner has ever slept with. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be with multiple people, be safe about it. 5. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knock it until you try it Initially, the thought of sleeping with other people made me immediately feel like I was insufficient. Most people I discussed my relationship with thought I was in it just to sleep around. However, neither of those things turned out to be true. The implication that people cannot truly care about more than one person is unfair. It may not be for me, but the only way I learned that was by keeping an open mind.

‘House of Cards’ continues to build on success *This review contains spoilers from the third season of Netflix’s original series House of Cards*

Austin Miller

@AMiller_DE | Daily Egyptian

A house divided cannot stand. Growing up in the Land of Abraham Lincoln, it is not hard for me to rattle off quotes of Honest Abe. But this speech, given by Lincoln during his debates with Stephen Douglas before he was president, holds to true for a fictional head of state. “House of Cards,” based on career politician Francis “Frank” Underwood, has become one of the most talked about shows since it first streamed in 2013. Netflix has found a way to make politics interesting for its typical consumers—young adults who are less likely to vote. Some critics said season two of the Netflix original series followed the recipe of season one too much. Politicians can only cheat on and kill so many people before the show becomes too unbelievable. Season three strays from that path and delivers a much more realistic political drama that is just as interesting without death and sex. In two seasons, “House of Cards” has shaken up the world of pretend politics. Viewers have seen Frank, played by Kevin Spacey, rise from congressman to president. Season one saw Frank lay the foundation for his empire after he was promised a promotion to secretary

of state, only to have that promise revoked. Frank then embarked on a warpath to prevent future humiliation. He made politicians align or resign with his proverbial whip of words. Or through murder (rest in peace Peter Russo). After becoming vice president at the end of season one, Frank fortifies his empire in season two. Everyone who knew his dirty secrets were ground to dust, allowing him to pave his way to the presidency. So now that he has reached the top of the mountain, Frank has to find a way to the peak, but it is windy up there. Up until now, Frank has always been in control. Even though he had a lower political ranking, Frank could assert his will onto everyone. But now, as The Leader of the Free World, he has no control at all. His approval rating is in the toilet, with most Americans labeling him as a transitional president. The democratic party does not want him on the ticket for the next election and his marriage has hit a rough patch, with he and his wife, Claire, sleeping in separate beds after moving into the White House. But those were just his obstacles at the start of the season. Frank puts together a new program called America Works, which gets rid of entitlement

programs, like Social Security and Medicaid, to create new jobs. With Congress unwilling to play ball, Frank takes money from FEMA to fund the program in Washington D.C. He said if citizens and politicians see Americans being put to work in the nation’s capital, they will want it country. Then Mother Nature comes in like a wrecking ball and sends a hurricane toward the east coast. He is forced to cut America Works so FEMA can have the money to help the affected areas after the storm. Only for the hurricane to veer away from the coast, meaning the program, which was working, was cut for nothing. One of the season’s bright spots came from the introduction of Viktor Petrov, president of the Russian Federation, who is heavily based on actual Russian President Vladimir Putin. Petrov talks about how important manliness is to him. Putin is often photographed shirtless riding horses, or in leather on motorcycles, showcasing his masculinity to the world. If only the Old Spice horseman could run for president in 2016 and give Putin a run for his money. Seeing the U.S.-Russia dynamic in a show is interesting because any time we see it on the news, it is just hand shaking and smiles. “House of Cards” shows what possibly happens behind

closed doors. Petrov strongarms Frank during peace negotiations in the Jordan Valley between Israel and Palestine. The tension is high every time these two are on-screen together, especially when Petrov lists his one condition for the deal: Claire stepping down as U.N. Ambassador. Frank wanted to shove Petrov down a flight of stairs when he kissed Claire after a White House dinner, and knowing Frank’s murderous past, it is surprising he did not even if World War 3 could have followed. He has used trains to take care of enemies before, he could probably find one in the Jordan Valley. Political power may be the one thing Frank craves more than Freddy’s Ribs, but it is the power of his family that he ultimately loses. Claire asks to be U.N. Ambassador to validate herself, with her own desires for power. But after she has the position taken away, she spends the rest of the season contemplating what she wants. After having several people tell her they wished she was running for president instead of Frank, she leaves him. “House of Cards” stands firm in quality, while Frank’s begins to tumble down. This is where my big questions come out on the season. With Claire

leaving, is the audience supposed to be sympathetic to her? She knew what she was getting in to when she married Francis. He wanted to be president, and there is only one desk in the Oval Office. She leaves him because his desires do not line up with hers anymore. But he always supports her, even when she does not return the favor. He constantly defends her. Heather Dunbar, a democratic presidential candidate, threatens Frank with a smear campaign centered on Claire, then he threatens to slit Dunbar’s throat in broad daylight. This is not even the first time she has left. In season one, she ran off with her former artist boyfriend, only to return in a few episodes. This season felt like it was split in half and the ending is the climax, not the resolution. The 2016 presidential campaign has just begun and Frank has a worthy challenger for the democratic nomination. But what role will Claire play? Will she run for president? I do not think that is a legal option, but who knows, I am not an expert on the Constitution. Each season has 13 episodes, and this one ended with 39. So a 13 episode season four brings the total to 52, the amount of cards in a deck. Will next season be the last the one? I guess we will see next February.

Saluki women tie at No. 9, tie best indoor team finish of all time Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

The Salukis sent seven individuals to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Championships this weekend and left with one national champion and five first-team All-Americans. The women’s team finished tied with Louisiana State for ninth, the highest finish ever for an SIU indoor women’s team. The ninth place finish also tied the 1984 men for the best indoor finish in SIU history. SIU was led by national champion freshman shot putter Raven Saunders and senior weight throwers DeAnna Price and Sophia Lozano. SIU’s women’s team entered competition at No. 20 in the nation and beat out teams from the Southeastern Conference, Big Ten and Big 12. “When you look at the list of schools behind us it is amazing,” coach Connie Price-Smith said. “We’re supposed to be a mid-major, but there were a lot of big schools behind us. It’s good to be where we’re at.” Saunders became the first true freshman in available history—1999 and later—to win the women’s shot put title. Saturday, Saunders became the 16th Saluki to win an NCAA championship, and the first since Jeneva McCall in 2012. Saunders won the event with a throw of 18.62 meters, which is a new personal record and again broke the all-time SIU, Missouri Valley Conference and American Junior records. The Saluki women have won six NCAA individual championships, all by the throws team. Those six championships have all come in the last eight years under the direction of Price-Smith and throws coach John Smith, both former throwers. Saunders’ winning toss was also the sixthbest throw in the world in 2015 and made her the first SIU and MVC female shot putter to throw for 61 feet. Saunders entered the weekend No. 2 in the nation behind LSU senior Tori Bliss, who regained the lead last week at the SEC

Championships. Saunders took the lead on her first throw of the day and set personal records on her third and fourth throws. Bliss took the lead briefly on her fifth throw before Saunders regained the lead en route to the victory. “It was really exciting, the whole competition was,” Price-Smith said to Jeff Hartsnell of the Charleston Post and Courier. “I couldn’t even watch on (Bliss’s) last throw, I had to go hide.” Saunders said she was happy to perform well with the tough competition this season. “I knew I had a good chance to win, because this is everything I’ve been working for since I took up the sport,” she said. “I just tried to tell myself, ‘It’s just like high school. It’s just another year, and these are just other shot putters.’” Friday, senior weight throwers Price and Lozano became the 147th and 148th firstteam All-Americans in SIU history. They finished third and seventh, respectively at the NCAA championships. Price threw a personal best of 22.04 meters to become the fifth Saluki woman to ever throw for 72 feet in the weight throw. Lozano threw for 20.79 meters on her first throw before fouling on four of her next five throws. The duo are two of only six female Salukis to ever throw for more than 70 feet in the weight throw. They became the 71st and 72nd indoor first-team All-Americans and the 18th and 19th women in the category. Price-Smith said she was proud of Price and Lozano for their performances. “There were a lot of girls in the competition that could hit big throws at any time, so it was nerve wracking just sitting there and watching,” she said. “All I can say is that they went in and competed, unafraid and with the best in the nation.” Sophomore Kyle Landon tied for seventh in the high jump, becoming the 150th All-American in SIU history. Landon finished with a height of 2.20 meters after failing at 2.23 meters. Landon is the third male high jumper in SIU history to be an All-American in

F ile P hoto • D aily e gyPtian Raven Saunders, pictured here practicing the hammer throw last November in the Recreation Center, took the No. 1 spot in shot put nationwide on Saturday during the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Saunders had a personal best throw of 18.62 meters. The throw also broke the all-time records for SIU and MVC.

an indoor and outdoor season. The other two, Darrin Plab and Cameron Wright, were both Olympians. Landon also joins three Saluki Hall of Fame members— Bill Cornell, Oscar Moore and Michael Franks—as the only Saluki males to be AllAmericans in each of their first two seasons. Junior Josh Freeman finished eighth in the men’s shot put with a throw of 18.69 meters. Freeman earned first-team AllAmerican status after finishing as a secondteam All-American in the previous two national meets.

Freeman became the first male shot putter to become an All-American since throws coach John Smith did so in 1984. With his finish, Freeman also ensured the first time in SIU history the Salukis earned All-American honors in both men’s and women’s shot put in the same season. Freshman pole valulter Lindsey Murray finished ninth with a height of 4.20 meters to earn a second-team All-American award. Her jump was only three inches shy of her personal record, which is also the best alltime vault at SIU.

The second-team All-American honor finishes off an indoor freshman season in which Murray became only the second female vaulter to break 14 feet in the history of the MVC. Senior Ashley Gaston finished 13th in the shot put with a throw of 15.86 meters. She earned a second-team All-American award after being a two-time honorable mention All-American in 2014 for shot put and discus outdoors. The Salukis begin the outdoor season at the Bill Cornell Spring Classic March 27.

Salukis have to wait and see after early MVC exit Salukis drop interstate rivalry Brent Meske

@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian

The future of the SIU women's basketball team hangs in the balance after losing to Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament Friday. Thanks to a historic turnaround, the Salukis have a chance to play in a postseason tournament other than the MVC Tournament for the first time in eight years. Although the NCAA Tournament is out of the question, at (17-13, 10-8) the Salukis have a shot at the Women's National Invitational Tournament or the Women's Basketball Invitational. Self-professed control freak and SIU coach Cindy Stein will just have to wait. “I hope the NIT looks at us hard, but that's out of my control,” Stein said. “It's hard to answer questions that are out of your control.” The 64-team WNIT and the 16team WBI will announce their brackets Monday night. Even if the selection processes for both tournaments leave the Salukis out in the cold, SIU has enjoyed its first winning season since 2006-2007. That year, the Salukis finished 21-

11 and 16-2 in conference. SIU lost to Drake in its first MVC Tournament game, but advanced to the second round of the WNIT. The 2014-2015 Salukis jumped out to the program's best start since 1993-1994, winning six of their first eight games and quickly surpassing last season's total of five wins. A six-game winning streak from Jan. 30 to Feb. 15, the school's longest in eight years, helped SIU ensure the biggest single-season turnaround in program history. With 18 points and 21 rebounds Friday, junior center Dyana Pierre recorded her 16th double-double of the season, giving her 37 for her career. She is now first in Saluki history in that category and tied for third all-time in the MVC. Another factor in SIU's success this season was the return of guards Rishonda Napier, a redshirt sophomore, and Cartaesha Macklin, a redshirt junior. Macklin and Napier played in a combined 12 games in 2013-2014 before sitting out. Other guards averaged 4.8 points per game last season. Macklin has averaged 9.8 points this year, while

Napier leads SIU in scoring at 16.2 points per game. Senior guard Mercedes Griffin said Napier and Macklin's presence helped the team's mentality over the course of this season. “We're a lot hungrier,” Griffin said. “We were excited to have our key players back. Just having everybody back as a team helped out a lot.” Napier earned her first career First-Team All-MVC honor this year. Pierre earned her second straight First-Team honor. Freshman guard Kylie Giebelhausen garnered all-conference honors of her own, being named to the MVC AllFreshman team. Giebelhausen started 28 of 30 games for SIU, averaging 6.9 points and tied for sixth in the Valley with 30 blocks. Junior forward Azia Washington expressed confidence in her team's ability to continue its success this season. “Obviously it hurts that we just lost, but we're ready to go back out there and give it another shot,” Washington said after the loss to UNI. “We've proven a lot of people wrong this season just doing what we do. We want to continue showing we know how to play.”

SIU baseball picked up a win against a ranked opponent this weekend, but lost the series. The Salukis (3-15) dropped two of the three games against the No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini (14-4-1) in Champaign. Friday was a pitchers' battle, as senior Aaron Hauge earned the victory in a 2-0 ballgame. "It was a good win for us," coach Ken Henderson said. "Obviously any win is a good win right now, but we pitched well and played good defense." Both runs came in the third inning. Sophomore third baseman Ryan Sabo led off the inning with a home run. The team picked up three more hits and one more run in the inning. Hauge allowed 0 runs on 7 hits, 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 8 innings pitched. Illinois junior Kevin Duchene allowed 2 runs, one of which was earned, on 6 hits, 0 walks and 9 strikeouts in 6 innings pitched. Junior Colten Selvey earned the

save with 1 strikeout in a perfect ninth frame. Saturday was a hitting duel as both teams recorded at least 10 hits. Illinois tied the series with a 6-2 win. Freshman Michael Baird suffered the loss, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, 1 walk and 0 strikeouts in 1.1 innings pitched. Illinois senior Drasen Johnson surrendered 2 runs on 10 hits, 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. Johnson pitched a complete game and picked up the win. Three Salukis recorded 2 hits, but failed to score enough runs to win. The rubber match was tied 1-1 through seven innings, but the Salukis let it slip away late to lose 4-1. Sophomore Kyle Pauly allowed 1 earned run on 3 hits, 0 walks and 1 strikeout in 5 innings pitched. Freshman Ryan Netemeyer gave up 3 runs in the eighth on two home runs, 1 of which was earned, to suffer the loss. U of I junior Tyler Jay picked up the win in relief. He threw 2 perfect innings.
