Union workers request contract negotiations LUKE NOZICKA Daily Egyptian “Union power,” and “we love SIU,” were two of the many chants made by SIU Illinois Education Association union workers on Wednesday in front of Morris Library.

Almost 100 tenure and nontenure-track employees, civil service

workers and members of Graduate Assistants United were present at the noontime demonstration.

Signs reading, “SIU work with us for a fair contract,” were carried as they marched from Morris Library to Anthony Hall. Union officials delivered four letters – one from each union addressed to Chancellor Rita Cheng stating university

union workers want to discuss their contracts up for negotiation June 30. The formal letters are required to begin negotiations under their current contracts.

George Boulukos, vice president of the Faculty Association and an associate professor in English, said the kick-off rally is to let people know new contract discussions have begun.

“This is the formal beginning where we formally request to bargain,” Boulukos said.

Jim Wall, a senior lecturer in radio, television and digital media, said working conditions, salary and terms and agreements are several of the areas addressed in the legal documents delivered Wednesday.

“This is essentially our way of

Jim Wall, a senior lecturer for radio, television and digital media, and Jonathan Wiesen, a history professor, address a crowd of union workers Wednesday in front of Morris Library. The Illinois Education Association union worker’s contracts are up for negotiation after June 30 and members said they want a better deal for their new contracts. George Boulukos, an associate professor in English, said the rally was a peaceful way to ask the university for an improved contract.

suggesting – we now have a new president coming in to say look, let’s work together,” Wall said.

“Everybody here has the same goals and rather than having an adversarial relationship, let’s have some constructive dialogue.”

Matt Ryg, a member of GAU, said the university has 45 days to hold the first meeting to initiate negotiations.

Boulukos said the proposals were in rally form to set a positive tone and show the unions have supporters.

The four unions represent more than 3,000 faculty and staff.

Boulukos said some faculty wants incoming SIU President Randy Dunn to use interest-based bargaining tactics to find equal ground. This strategy entails training each group to articulate their most important interests, and integrating their ideas into the bigger picture, although some have not enjoyed this technique in previous years, he said.

“We know Randy Dunn knows a lot about negotiation, he’s done it a lot on both sides,” he said. “So we’re really hoping that he will understand the value of the process and that he’ll be willing to take it in that spirit and possibly do this interest-based approach.”

Wall said the chancellor was not present in the office and the letters were left with the front desk staff.

He said there is no way to predict when contracts will be complete and it depends on the interests being debated.

Council considering election process change KARSTEN BURGSTAHLER Daily Egyptian

As the Administrative Professional Staff Council nears its annual election, council officials want constituents to understand potential changes to the election policy.

The council did not take any action on the proposed policy during its meeting Wednesday. Presently, any AP staff member can run to be a representative. When one member’s term ends another may come in from a different department, with unequal representation on the board.

The new policy would divide membership among eight different sectors and provide two representatives per sector, with the potential for more depending on the number of employees in the sector. During its February 18

meeting, the group estimated a ratio of one representative for every 30 employees.

Council Chairperson Kathy Jones provided the Daily Egyptian the proposal’s most recent draft in hopes AP employees might provide feedback on the sectors (detailed in the graphic to the right.)

The changes would not take effect in the 2014-2015 school year; during Wednesday’s meeting it was announced four nominations have been made for the four positions opening this year.

Vice Chair Jon Geiger, Secretary Valerie Brooks Wallin, councilman Don Castle and Jones will reach the end of their respective terms in May. Karsten Burgstahler can be reached at kburgstahler@dailyegyptian.com, on Twitter @kburgstahler_DE or by phone at 536-3311 ext. 254.

Tight races for governor, state rep lie ahead SETH RICHARDSON Daily Egyptian With the primary elections over, the general election landscape is beginning to take shape.

Key races at the state and local level include the race for governor between incumbent Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner, and the race for the 115th State House of Representatives seat pitting Republican Terri Bryant against Democrat Bill Kilquist.

Faculty and staff from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute weighed in on these primaries.

Institute director David Yepsen said both candidates for governor performed poorly, especially in southern Illinois. Quinn’s challenger Tio Hardiman, carried some southern districts and ended with almost 30 percent of the vote.

Yepsen said Hardiman’s showing in the election was because of unhappy voters, particularly union members, casting protest votes.

He said Rauner faced similar problems as Quinn, including

opposition from unions and an apathetic base.

“Quinn and Rauner need to fire up their base voters,” he said. “Now they can do it. Republicans are disgusted with Pat Quinn and some will accept Rauner as anybody but Quinn. Democrats are going to look at Rauner and see him as wealthy and hostile to organized labor, so that will be a big motivator.”

Professor Emeritus John Jackson said the numbers did not surprise him as Quinn still won against Hardiman, and Rauner was facing three other candidates with campaign experience.

“I don’t buy the idea that Rauner’s victory, even though a narrow margin, somehow indicates a loss or a weakness for him,” he said. “I think he’s going to be very competitive and I think Pat Quinn’s going to be very competitive. This is going to be a down-to-the-wire, slam-bang, spend a ton of money, knock-down dragout fight.”

Professor Charlie Leonard agreed with Jackson about the money.

Rauner spent $6 million of his own money on his primary campaign, a

record for an Illinois governor race.

“He outspent everybody combined,” Leonard said. “And a year ago nobody except political insiders that he contributed to knew who he was. It’s name recognition that can be bought.”

Jackson said the bases of both parties will likely support their candidate.

Leonard said Rauner’s showing will come down to him taking a stance on certain issues, something he said they failed to do during the primary.

“Nobody’s pressed him real hard to take a position on anything,” he said.

“He’s against making the income tax increase permanent. Where will he cut? Where will he make up the lost revenue? There’s a big one right there. He’s offered nothing and, to the best of my knowledge, he’s been pressed weakly at best.”

Yepsen, Jackson and Leonard all said despite Quinn being a Democratic incumbent in a blue state, there is no clear leader.

Yepsen said the race for the 115th House District is going to be tight as well. The district is open for the first time in almost 20 years after

current Rep. Mike Bost announced he was challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart for the 12th District Congressional Seat.

“Both parties have nominated strong candidates,” Yepsen said.

“Kilquist has a proven record of getting votes and Bryant won a very impressive, hard fought primary.”

Yepsen said Kilquist is experienced at gathering votes as he was previously elected as the Jackson County Sheriff and as a Board of Trustee member for John A. Logan College.

However, he said Bryant is experienced and served in leadership positions with other campaigns.

Jackson said he found it interesting yet unsurprising both candidates are from Murphysboro.

They might have a difficult time sharing the same location, Jackson said.

“They’re going to have to reach out to those other counties, including, most notably, Jefferson county, and the other counties north and northeast of us,” he said. “It remains to be seen which candidate will be more effective in that.”

House Speaker Michael Madigan showed interest in the race and might

consider it poachable from Republicans.

“The Democratic organization in Springfield sees possible pickup here with a Republican stepping down and Mr. Kilquist being elected several times as sheriff and John A. Logan Trustee and is a well-known name to voters, and I expect they figure they might have a chance for a pickup,” Leonard said.

The interest in the 115th District may be a tactical move to force Republicans to spend resources they might use elsewhere, Yepsen said.

Yepsen said he gives the Republicans an edge because it is a midterm election and many Republican voters are upset with the Democrats in the White House.

Leonard and Jackson said there was no clear front-runner.

Robair’s music more than meets the eye KYLE SUTTON Daily Egyptian Music comes in many forms and for Gino Robair, music is more than just a 4-minute song heard through the airwaves of someone’s personal radio.

Robair is an improvisational percussionist from San Francisco who performs a style of music both creative and unique in its own light. Robair and members from the School of Music performed an improvisational set on Wednesday at the Old Baptist Foundation

Recital Hall. The performance began with a 20-minute solo by Robair followed by a 40-minute set with the other members.

As Robair sat down in front of his snare and tom drum, the lights dimmed and a faint echo hovered above the music hall. From the darkness emerged the sound effects of a suspenseful sci-fi, performed live with an array of different instruments and household items.

“A lot of what I do is focused around drums but I don’t always play drums with the normal implements,” he said. “I have tried to find ways to excite a drum head that

is different than just hitting it with a stick or a mallot.”

Robair used various objects like motors and found objects like Styrofoam and blades off a street sweeper in his performance. Creating a sound most people would overlook, he said.

“Using everyday objects as musical instruments is something I really enjoy,” he said. “Everything is fair game for a percussionist to play so I like to take advantage of that.”

Robair said he likes to use a prepared piano and electronics like small analog synthesizers.

“I write for a magazine called Electronic Musician, so I get a chance to try out new software and hardware all the time,” he said.

Ron Coulter, a percussion, improvisation and jazz studies senior lecturer, facilitated the event. Coulter said it was a pleasure getting to spend time with Robair.

“He is like an encyclopedia of this sort of improvising contemporary art music,” Coulter said. “He is highly unique.”

Pilot helps students spread wings

SARAH GARDNER · DAILY EGYPTIAN

Participants of the ‘I Can Read’ program gather around Bill Norwood as he autographs copies of his book, “Cleared for Takeoff: A Pilot’s Story of Challenges and Triumphs” Wednesday at the African American Museum in University Mall. Norwood, originally from Centralia, graduated from SIU in 1959, was the university’s first African American quarterback and was named a Saluki Hall of Fame member in October when he served as Grand Marshall for the Homecoming parade. Norwood also served six years years in the Air Force, and was the first African American pilot hired by United Airlines. His Boeing 727 is on permanent display at Chicago’s Science and Industry Museum. Profits from the book go toward the William R. Norwood Aviation Scholarship Fund at the university. Parth Patel, a junior from Streamwood studying aviation management and flight and a recipient of the scholarship, said it was an honor to meet the person who was responsible for his scholarship. Scholarship recipient Isaac Mendoza, a senior from Elgin studying aviation management, said his presence made the event special. “There’s an actual connection, and you can thank them in person,” he said. Norwood’s book is available on www.barnesandnoble.com and www.amazon.com, and as an e-book.

‘‘N

ever give up the craziest idea you have because people will tell you it’s crazy, but if you really believe it’s possible, you should pursue it. There are no rules in music.

— Gino Robair musician

ROBAIR CONTINUED FROM

2

Robair said he formulated his own creative style at an early age.

As a toddler, he played pots and pans he found around his parents’ house. He began taking drum and piano lessons when he was seven, he said.

“I realized I wanted to compose by my junior high school years and built from there,” Robair said. “When I got into high school and college, I started learning about more unusual kinds of music like avant-garde and things that were unpopular.”

As an undergraduate, Robair founded a record label named Rastascan Records to promote music and different projects he was involved in. After almost 30 years, the record company has approximately 70 releases in the form of casettes, CD’s, LPs, flexi discs among other formats, he said. “(Rastascan Records is) more a promotional tool then anything else,” he said. “If you want to promote yourself to radio stations and in the

press and to get performances in festivals, they like to see you have a hard copy of something.”

In the mid ‘80s, Robair began working on a book of improvisational structures in the form of an opera. Named “I, Norton,” the opera follows a man named Joshua Norton who declares himself emperor of the United States in an effort to clean up lawlessness and corruption in the government, he said.

To challenge political ideals, Norton sends proclamations to newspapers. Robair uses these proclamations as the opera’s libretto, he said.

As creativity is important to Robair, each performance is meant to use different platforms so people can improvise and meet their own personal talents to perform the opera in various ways.

“The idea is to have five performances that could all be radically different,” he said. “For me, as a composer, it is more interesting than seeing the same thing over and over again. I like to see people

challenge. I like to be surprised.”

Throughout his career, Robair has done works on a variety of different platforms in the music industry. Outside of his work as a drummer in bands like The Splatter Trio and Pink Mountain, he has created music for dance, theater, radio, television, silent film and gamelan orchestra. He also served as the music director for the CBS animated series “The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat.” As an innovative artist, Robair offered up advice for aspiring young musicians.

“Never give up the craziest idea you have because people will tell you it’s crazy, but if you really believe it’s possible, you should pursue it,” he said. “There are no rules in music.”

Reconnecting with my childhood friend, Barney Staff Column TONY MCDANIEL Daily Egyptian Yesterday morning, while listening to A Tribe Called Quest’s “8 Million Stories”, also while taking a shower, Phife Dawg had a line around the 30-second mark.

“My little brother wants Barney, cool I’m gettin’ it. Took him down to KB, they ain’t sellin’ it.”

This simple line about Phife’s little brother not getting what he wants may leave some listeners completely untouched, but for me it brought all kinds of memories flowing back about my early childhood and my closest friends, Barney, Baby Bop and BJ. Being an only child, and living with my grandmother for the first six years of my life, it was usually just the two of us on a small street in O’ Fallon with only five houses. Most of the people who lived there were older and did not have kids my age, which led to a bit of a sheltered childhood.

There were toys, baseball games in the backyard with grandma and best of all, there was Barney.

Barney and Friends was my favorite TV show. If you have never seen it, first of all, I feel sorry for you and second of all, it was a show about big purple dinosaur named Barney that taught kids numbers, the alphabet and how to treat others with respect.

I loved Barney. He was everything to me at age five. I remember having a Barney themed birthday party, even a stuffed toy of the big dinosaur himself.

Barney and his friends were my best friends and we hung out every morning in front of grandma’s television with a glass of chocolate milk and a bowl of cereal.

Then kindergarten happened.

I remember in kindergarten trying to relate with other kids by talking about Barney, asking them if they’ve seen certain episodes and asking which brightly colored dinosaur was their favorite. Their response was always the same.

“Barney is for babies.”

This news was devestating. These kids had the gall to tell me my favorite show was for babies, and being young and easily influenced there was no doubt in my mind they were right.

I denounced Barney and moved on to Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers as my favorites. I donated my stuffed toys and put Barney and Friends out of mind for close to 20 years until I heard Phife Dawg’s lyrics yesterday morning.

What happened to Barney and Friends? The last I heard, things were going well for Barney, Baby Bop and BJ. So, I sat down in front of my computer and got to Googling.

Barney and Friends started airing in 1992 and

still runs in syndication. However, no new episodes have been made since 2010. In 2006, the show even added another character, Riff, a music loving orange dinosaur that wears some pretty sweet green shoes. There have even been Barney movies, seven of them in fact.

A couple of celebrities even got their start on Barney and Friends. Actress and singer, Selena Gomez, was on the show from 2002 to 2004, and Demi Lovato was on the show around the same time as Gomez. Both of them played some of the lucky kids who got to kick it with Barney whenever they wanted.

The show has taken its first step towards being cancelled. Soon, the episodes they re-air will become out dated and Barney and Friends will just ride off into the sunset and be forgotten.

I’m upset to know that one day when I have children, they won’t have such great role models as Barney and his colorful friends to look up to and learn from. Instead, they’ll have me as their dad to teach them how to be kids the right way, the way I was taught: by a large purple dinosaur.

Thursday, March 20, 2014 LOVE CONTINUED FROM

11

Love said the pain is getting worse, although she continues to push through and has had a prosperous season. Playing with three different doubles partners, Love has still managed a winning record.

Coach Audra Anderson said the injuries have hindered Love’s ability to play singles; however, Love still remains a valuable asset to the team. “(PTPS) is a chronic injury and whenever you have a chronic injury, it can flare up,” Anderson said. “Sometimes it will get better, sometimes it feels worse but she’s still a fantastic doubles player.”

Anderson said the sporadic nature of the injury has been a challenge for her to coach around because she does not know the extent of pain on a given day. She said the injury is inconvenient for Love because of her passion for the game.

“It comes and goes so it’s very frustrating,” she said. “Mostly for her because she wants to play, but also for me not knowing if we’re going to have her or not because she’s a great singles player.”

Anderson said while not being able to have Love in the lineup for singles has been frustrating, Love’s leadership as a captain makes up more than enough for her absence in singles.

“She’s a fantastic leader, she takes

initiative and she really fits into her role now that she’s a senior,” she said. “She’s a fighter. You can never count her out of a match.”

Anita Lee, fellow senior captain, has been Love’s teammate since the two athletes came to Carbondale in 2010. They are leaders on the team and have become close friends and even roommates through the years.

Lee said she has enjoyed coming up through the program and learning with Love.

“We’ve grown together and learned a lot from each other,” she said. “She’s a great doubles player so she’s a huge asset to our team and she’s dependable, too.”

Lee said PTPS has tested Love’s dependability, but she still remains one of the team’s better doubles players and most consistent competitors.

“I think she’s playing really well,” she said. “She’s been injured for the past couple of seasons, but I think she’s been doing really well and pushing herself so that she can help the team out.

As Love’s final season as a Saluki tennis player, finishes, she said she enjoyed her time in Carbondale. She has captured Missouri Valley Conference titles in doubles; one her sophomore year and one senior year.

As conference play approaches, Love said she expects nothing less out of the team.

“I think this season I can win the MVC title at number two doubles and the all team title as long as we go undefeated in the Valley,” she said. “I think we can do that.”

Love said though her tennis career may be over, she still intends to stay in Carbondale as she has recently been accepted into the media management graduate program at SIU. Love and the Salukis next match is Friday against the University of Illinois in Champaign, Ill. Tyler Davis can be reached at tdavis@dailyegyptian.com, on Twitter @Tdavis_DE or 536-3311 ext. 269

Thursday, March 20, 2014 JACKSON CONTINUED FROM

Even with my best effort to dunk, I jumped a few feet off the ground and lost the match.

The men’s basketball team had a complete turnaround this season. They were 5-15 on Jan. 25 and their season was known for coach Barry Hinson going on a rant about the team not taking any shot fakes in a game at Murray State University.

Hinson has compared his wife to the team many times and said

his wife would take more shot fakes than the team did. He said she wouldn’t win a game of horse against Jackson, but she would take more shot fakes.

The team won seven of its last 10 games, including one against Indiana State University, who finished second in conference.

SIU earned the sixth seed in the conference tournament.

In the tournament, the Salukis upset the University of Northern Iowa and played in the semifinals, where they lost to Indiana State.

Jackson said he wants to

11 continue playing basketball because he has played since he was in grade school. He will likely go overseas, but he should have no problem finding a team.

Jackson averaged 16.9 points at SIU and had 138 steals in his two years here. He became the first Saluki to lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and free throws in a season.

Last season, Hinson and Jackson weren’t always on the same page.

Hinson said his relationship with Jackson turned around when Jackson started putting more work in.

The season is over for the Salukis, but March Madness has begun.

Wichita State University is the only MVC school in the tournament, but they are a number one seed.

The Shockers are undefeated this season and play Friday.

I have Wichita losing in the Sweet Sixteen, but I don’t have them making any granny shots.

Senior guard Desmar Jackson prepares to drive during SIU’s 63-58 win against the University of Northern Iowa March 7 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Jackson lead the team this season in points, rebounds, assists, steals and free throws, and was the first player in SIU school history to do so.

CHRIS ZOELLER DAILY EGYPTIAN

Senior Saluki fights through tennis injuries TYLER DAVIS Daily Egyptian A fast paced sport like tennis is strenuous on the legs and knees and one women’s tennis player has persevered despite her setbacks.

Korey Love, a senior from Daytona Beach, Fla. studying radio/television, has been on the team for four years. She enjoyed a successful high school career, winning a Florida High School 4A State singles Championship in 2009. She began her career playing both singles and doubles, but lately has been confined to doubles.

Love said she was diagnosed with Patella Tracking Pain Syndrome (PTFS), also known as Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

Since her freshman year, doctors have urged her to just play doubles.

“When I was diagnosed with (PTPS), they just told me that I should kind of focus on doubles because singles was too much for my knees, and freshman year it really started to kick in,” Love said.

According to the University of Illinois’ McKinley Health Center, PTPS is a disorder in the patella, or kneecap. When the “tracking,” or alignment, of the patella is skewed, the knee can be come swollen causing pain around the knee. The disorder is responsible for 25 percent of all knee related injuries and becomes a chronic problem in most cases.

McKinley’s website reports those who suffer from PTPS can feel the effects of the disorder even after 20 years of treatment.

Love said the pain has been getting worse as of late and her treatment involves shots, a lot of ice and wraps on the knees.

“The pain’s too much to deal with on a daily basis that I had to resort to cortisone shots,” Love said. “No time for surgery now.”

The surgery Love was referring to is a procedure that can clean up and adjust the tracking on the patella to make the knee less painful.

At least my granny can shot fake Multimedia To see a video report visit: www.dailyegyptian.com

There is only one shot I have been able to master in the game of basketball: the granny shot.

Senior guard Desmar Jackson was a second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference basketball player this year. He has range and has been able to dunk since the seventh grade. It gave him a lot of options for our game of H-O-R-S-E. H-O-R-S-E is a basketball

game where every made shot has to be matched by the other player, or else they get a letter from the word horse. The first person to spell H-O-R-S-E loses.

Coach Barry Hinson said he thought I would have a rough time in the game beforehand. He was right.

My favorite shooter in basketball is San Antonio Spurs

forward, Matt Bonner. He has a smooth shot and is usually one of the first players to start warming up before games. He is nicknamed the Red Mamba because of his red hair.

I represented him by wearing a t-shirt with a red mamba on it. It did not help me.

Jackson started the game by hitting shots from beyond the arc.

I was only able to answer one of

them. He did miss a couple times, which allowed me to try hitting my long-range granny shots.

It took me a while to get going, but I eventually hit a granny shot just outside the three-point line.

Jackson missed, but only because he has no reason to practice granny shots.
