Rauner, Sleepless nights inspire creativity Madigan push budget fix Monique Garcia | Chicago Tribune House lawmakers on Tuesday quickly approved a plan aimed at plugging a $1.6 billion hole in the current budget that threatens subsidized day care programs and paychecks for prison guards. Under a bill that passed the House 69-48, about $1.3 billion would be taken from funds earmarked for special purposes such as road construction. The remaining shortfall would be dealt with by cutting 2.25 percent from most areas of state government -- including an estimated $150 million from schools. Health care and pensions would not be cut. The proposal is the result of weeks of talks with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative leaders, and it could be voted on by the full House later Tuesday. Rauner inherited the budget shortfall after lawmakers last spring approved a spending plan that did not have enough money to cover a full year’s expenses. In addition, a 2011 state income tax increase started to roll back Jan. 1. The new short-term budget fix is backed by Rauner and House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. “This is not as perfect bill, it’s not perfect solution,” Madigan said. “Some might say it’s not pretty, but it responds to the governor’s request, responds to the problem.” Earlier, the propsal passed a House panel with little debate. “The crisis is serious, it’s real, it’s earnest,” said House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, who carried the bill on Madigan’s behalf. “It’s a painful vote, but I’m glad our members, our colleagues are prepared to step up to the plate. I don’t think we have any other choice.” Currie said that under the legislation, Rauner would be given discretion to use a $97 million pot of money to help school districts that might be harmed by the cuts that come in the middle of the school year. He’ll also have access to another $90 million to help plug other, yet unforeseen budget problems that might arise. “Gov. Rauner didn’t create this fiscal mess, but he is willing to work across party lines to fix it,” said Richard Goldberg, Rauner’s deputy chief of staff for legislative affairs. “This is our opportunity to come together for the good of our state.” A spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton said Democratic leadership was encouraged by the “progress” but said the plan must be discussed with rank-and-file members.
H oliday W aGner | @HolidayWagnerDE Savannah Ganster, a performer from Baton Rouge, La., and Ashley Beard, a doctoral student from Los Angeles, create silhouettes on a projected video of Beard Monday in the Marion Kleinau Theatre while rehearsing their show Lullaby: A Show About Insomnia and Creativity. “It highlights our differences as people and as performers, while simultaneously addressing our friendship,” Ganster said. Together, the two wrote, compiled, co-directed, and performed the show, bonding over both having insomnia. “The space in the night where we’re awake is the space where we do most of our creative work,” Ganster said. After performing their show for the first time at LSU the first week of March, the two said they are prepared and excited for it to premiere Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Marion Kleinau Theatre, and in two weeks in Las Vegas. Beard said many other creative people she knows also have trouble sleeping at night and that people who love the arts would enjoy and relate to the show. Ganster said the show is relatable to anybody who has long distance friends or has experienced any kind of sleeplessness or yearning for a thing in the middle of the night. “Anybody who loves music, art, or poetry would love this show,” Ganster said. “It appeals to such a wide range of people.”
Rehabilitation center faces budget crisis aHMad Hicks | @AhicksSports_DE Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed budget cuts that could wipe out drug and alcohol treatment for more than 7,000 Illinois residents. Rauner’s Feb. 18 proposal would eliminate $27.6 million from the $127 million budget of the Illinois Department of Human Service’s Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, according to the Gateway Foundation. Gateway is a charitable foundation in Carbondale that operates a substance abuse program. The foundation is one of 10 drug and alcohol treatment centers in Illinois. Lori Dammermann, executive director of the foundation, said along with eliminating treatment, the budget cut would jeopardize the chances of patients getting a job when leaving the program. The center has 70 in-house residential beds for men, women, boys and girls. Dammermann said even though the foundation can only house 70 people, it still assists patients who can not get into the center as out patients. Jane Nichols, an assistant professor at SIU’s Rehabilitation Institute, helps coordinate the substance abuse addiction program. The program does not treat patients, but trains individuals to become counselors and work with a broad range of people facing challenges. “First of all, as a taxpayer, I appreciate having someone go to treatment,” Nichols said. “It costs

substantially less than to go to jail.” Dammermann said when a patient goes to rehab, they learn skills to help them become employable, better parents, more capable of managing emotions and family life, and they also learn where they can go to get support. “Sending people to rehab saves money in the long run,” Dammermann said. “Lock people up and they just learn to be better criminals.” It costs patients $600 to stay one night in the Gateway Foundation. If the proposed budget cuts are approved, the foundation estimated it would lose more than $2 million. As a comparison, the annual cost per inmate at the Menard Correctional Center in Chester is $20,699, which is about $57 per day, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections. “The money is important to our foundation because it affects people with Medicaid, and a good portion of our clients are on Medicaid,” Dammermann said. The cut would result a 12 percent overall decrease,

eliminating 710 patients from receiving healthcare. Dammermann said she did not know the exact number of clients on Medicaid and how much was provided for each client, but stressed the importance of losing them if the budget passes. “If this goes through, certain people may not receive the treatment they need,” she said. Nichols said treatment centers are good for more than just alcohol and drug problems—they can diagnose other issues in people’s lives. The Gateway Foundation also helps treat family problems and psychological troubles. It is one of the only centers in Illinois to help out young adolescent girls, Dammermann said. “This area needs more centers to help people. Substance abuse is higher in areas like Carbondale,” Nichols said. “The people who have serious problems are the ones who need an intervention. Treatment gets them away from those problems.” Since 2009 the state has slashed $39.7 million from treatment, denying care to 8,941 individuals in order to solve annual chronic budget problems, according to the Gateway Foundation. “It’s something that needs to be treated like diabetes or cancer,” Nichols said. “The only alternative for some of these people are jail. They don’t have a way out outside of the rehab center. They will end up in a mental hospital, jail or dead.”

Is college family? JACOB PIERCE | @JACOBPIERCE1_DE Andrew Johnathan Ruiz was one of the few people who looked normal in a blue denim jacket, the kind a greaser from a 1950s movie about motorcycle gangs would have worn. He not only looked normal in this, he wore it with the utmost style. People remember the oddest idiosyncrasies about the people they love, no matter the shape or form the love takes. Some people remember high-pitched laughter, others the way a person ate their favorite sandwich. What I remember of Andrew right now is that damn denim jacket. It was his cape, his cowl; he
He died on March 12 at about 2:50 p.m. A day deeply engrained in my memory. It had first come to me as a rumor. Living in a small town, word of one’s death tends to travel quickly. Neither I nor the group of friends around me could believe it at first, so we went on with our night. Some dumb rumor was not going to ruin a fun spring break night. After a couple of calls, what was thought to be speculation turned out to be fact. Devastated does not come close to describing how I felt. As a writer, I pride myself on being able to describe how I feel. Having the ability to always come up with the right word. There is

no right word. It felt like a piece of me was gone, ripped out while I was distracted. All of the “dealing with death� stereotypes hit me at once. I slumped down on my friend’s porch and I stared off into the distance for a great deal of time. When I was up, my feet barely
held me, my legs about to bring me down. I walked until I could not walk anymore, bent over and broke down. So coming into the week after, I figured I would have to head home from school at some point. The death happened so suddenly, no one expected the visitation date to be out right away. On Monday, I learned the visitation was Friday—I had a test on Friday. This appeared worrisome at first. Home being nearly six hours away, I would need to leave Carbondale before the test time to make it there. The stress dissolved; if I were to tell my math teacher right then, I should be good. This is not the first time in the history of tests some had a visitation come up. I would just have to take the test before Friday or the next week. Apparently this was a huge deal. I received an email back that said unfortunately, there are no makeup tests in this class. This came as a surprise, as death seems to be one of the only reasons for missing a test. After another email exchange, I was told the teacher was not allowed to give the test early or late. So after some advice from a coworker, I went higher up the food chain. After talking to this person, I was assured there was a large chance of me getting an extension, they would just have to talk to the professor. After almost a week of waiting, I was given a verdict— still no. The reasoning behind it was

We are a family when the college needs us to be one, but not when we need them. the class had more than 1,000 people in it, and it was impossible to give an alternative testing time for reasons like this. There was an option given—the class has a drop test. I would just have to take a zero and get the test dropped. For a student like me, this option is not much of an avenue at all. I stress about grades, and schoolwork is something I work hard on. I give this class my all, and I am not getting a failing grade by any means. Now any time I look at my grade, the zero will be hanging with it until the end of the semester. The visitation of a close friend is no less of a reason than a game to an athlete. This is not to argue against athletes getting an alternative testing time, it is just an example of the double standard in this situation. Athletes are provided alternative times and dates for making up exams, this visitation was just as good of a reason. I was willing to work within the schedule of the Mathematics Department. In my emails, my
#&
availability was made clear. I would take the test early, I would take the test late. I would take it anywhere in the department they offered. Anything they needed to feel comfortable. As with any college, Southern Illinois University likes to talk about students being a part of a family. We go out and support our college like it is flesh and blood. Yet, situations like this make me feel like the family ideal is only going one way. We are a family when the college needs us to be one, but not when we need them. Occurrences like this make me question whether Carbondale was the right choice for school. For a university that prides itself on being personable and more focused on students, this is quite the opposite. Unfortunately this situation‚ and therefore SIU, has made an already painful two weeks, so much more stressful. SIU should have a more concrete and fair policy for alternative testtaking—one without any double standards involved.

Honduran artist furthers the female perspective Chase Myers | @chasemyers_DE Honduras, a Central American country south of Mexico, has a history of violence and economic instability. With minimal art school opportunities, a successful career as an artist can be hard to come by, especially for a woman. Alma Leiva, a visiting artist in the Department of Cinema and Photography and native Honduran, will present her visual installations with a discussion panel to follow at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Morris Library First Floor Rotunda. She will also be showcasing her photography this week in the Cinema and Photography Gallery. One of Leiva’s major influences is Frida Kahlo, a self-taught female painter from Mexico. Leiva said women offer a lot to the art world when it comes to perspective, and the world has been taking notice. “In my opinion, Frida Kahlo was a better painter than Diego Rivera, her husband,” she said. “Now people are beginning to rediscover her art and really see the amount of pain and life experiences she put in her work.”
Her feminist ideals are evident in some of her work, including her current project, a display paying homage to murdered prostitutes of her hometown of San Pedro Sula, she said. “I especially wanted to do this because it is an overlooked group,” she said. “There has been an increasing way of violence against LGBT groups... and women in general in Honduras and I wanted to create awareness.” Leiva broke the mold of the artistic constriction in San Pedro Sula when she moved to Miami at the age of 14. “They don’t have the opportunities they have here in general,” Leiva said. “It’s a very poor country, so if you want to pursue a career in the arts, you had to come from a well family.” Because of the large Latino community in Miami, the transition was not difficult, though racial tension was present among her high school colleagues, she said. She said there was hostility between African Americans and Latinos, as well as tension between different races in the Latino students. After attending Miami Jackson Senior High School, which had a reputation for behavior problems but
also a reputable art program, she took a break from school for more than a decade until attending New Worlds School of the Art in Miami, where she graduated in 2007. She began graduate school at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., an area with a much smaller Latin American community, pursuing art and graduated in 2011. “When I moved to VCU, to Virginia, that’s when it hit me,” she said. “That’s when I felt the culture shock at full-speed.” Although the initial change in culture was new for her, it did not negatively effect her artwork, she said. While her mediums range from still photography to film production, her first love was drawing, she said. “I started getting bored drawing from reference,” she said. “I started becoming more interested in drawing from imagination and symbolism.” Leiva still paints and draws, but gets bored with just one art form and expands her expression through different outlets, she said.

’Lullaby’ combines studies of sleep and the creative mind Jacob Pierce | @JacobPierce1_DE
Sleep, insomnia and the creative mind are all topics that occasionally come together. One production looks to question how they all affect each other. The Marion Kleinau Theatre is holding the experimental play “Lullaby” on March 26 to 28. “Lullaby” was created and codirected by Ashley Beard, who goes by the stage name A.B., and Savannah Ganster. Ganster, who has a doctorate in communication studies from LSU and lives in Baton Rouge, LA., said the idea all started when she and Beard met at a performance festival and snuck away from a party and started talking about insomnia and art. “We talked about what would happen if we made a show together,” she said. “We live 624 miles apart. So it’s kind of crazy.” The show is about insomnia and how sleep affects the creative mind, and is comprised of several different artforms including personal narrative, still images and poetry, Ganster said. It was planned, written, compiled and rehearsed primarily through text messages, emails and using FaceTime, Ganster said. The first showing took place in March at Louisiana State University, just five days after the first face-to-face rehearsal of “Lullaby.” “It was the full spectrum of magic
h oliday W agner | @HolidayWagnerDE As Savannah Ganster, a performer from Baton Rouge, La., acts asleep on stage, A.B., a doctoral student from Los Angeles, reaches out to her Monday night in the Marion Kleinau Theatre while they rehearse a scene from their show Lullaby: A Show About Insomnia and Creativity. When A.B. addressed her sleeping friend, she whispered, “How can we touch each other and not disappear?” She explained that the line is from Shinji Moon, a poet based in New York, and is used in an earlier scene in the show. The two became friends after A.B. visited Louisiana State University to explore the campus. Although she decided against going to LSU, the two continued to be friends despite the geographic distance. “Having so much of our friendship online, it sometimes doesn’t seem like we are real,” A.B. said. “I think that this show is how we work against that disappearing, by making art together and materializing it.”
to hell and everything in between,” Ganster said. Funding being a huge issue for theater departments everywhere, this experiment looks to help adapt to some of the cuts, she said. Using this technology saves the school money it intended for sending
people to different schools for collaborations, Ganster said. “Before I started this, I did an experiment with people from California, at SIU, LSU and Southern Florida all at the same time,” she said. “This technology lets us do this on a budget.”
Beard, a doctoral candidate in communication studies from Los Angeles, said the show started to take cognitive form from there. The performers talked about the overlapping theme of the show and how the intent is to blur lines of what a traditional play should be.
The story is told using several mediums of art, forming another piece of art, Beard said. One of the medium transitions includes a nude painting by Leonardo de Vinci. Beard painted the piece of art onto the body of a friend, and took a photo to put up on screen. “We are really hitting at those boundaries between the different types of art,” Beard said. She said the sleeping habits of artists such as T.S Eliot, Sylvia Plath and Vincent Van Gogh are used as inspiration for the projects. Beard and Ganster both participate in different art forms including singing and poetry, which made choosing what to use a lot easier than they expected. “When I do my work, organic composition happens. It is based upon feel,” Ganster said. “You just kind of know when you know, then you put everything into an order that feels right.” For performances at each school, different directors come in to critique the show, giving a new perspective on the same play, Beard said. “The long distance has made it so there is not one view, even though there is one imbedded in it,” Beard said. “We are getting other direction and asking, what can our show be?” “Lullaby” starts at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $7 at regular price and $5 for students.

Pendleton announces he will transfer AARON GRAFF | @AARONGRAFF_DE SIU men’s basketball junior guard Jalen Pendleton will transfer at the end of the spring semester. Pendleton said his decision is based on his playing time next season. “I told [the coaches] I wanted to play a lot,” Pendleton said. “I guess we couldn’t make an agreement.” Pendleton averaged 18.7 minutes in his Saluki career, and averaged 22.2 minutes this season. He averaged 6.7 points in his career. He had a career high in steals and assists with 34 and 51 respectively, but had a career low .428 field goal percentage this season. Pendleton said he is unsure where he will transfer, and has had some offers from some schools, but hopes to stay at the Division I level, meaning he would have to sit out next season. He is the third player to announce he will transfer this year. Freshman guard Chaz Glotta and redshirt freshman K.C. Goodwin announced they would
transfer March 16. Goodwin said he is transferring for the same reason as Pendleton. Pendleton said there is not tension between the players and coaches. “It’s more of a business thing,” he said. “Coach feels like he needs players to come in and play a certain role for them. It just didn’t work out for me this time.” He said he enjoyed his time at SIU and wanted to thank the coaches, his teammates, the fans and his family for the experience. “I came here a boy and I’m leaving a man,” Pendleton said. “I loved everything about it.” Coach Barry Hinson was out of town recruiting and did not answer a phone call, but issued this statement in a Saluki Athletic press release. “Jalen has been an instrumental part of the rebuilding process during the past three years and we appreciate his contributions,” Hinson said. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Tyler Davis contributed to this story.

Finger injuries hinder success for All-American BRENT MESKE | @BRENTMESKEDE Holding a 16-pound shot put requires all the power your hand has to offer, and when your throwing hand has three injured fingers, it becomes far more difficult. Junior thrower Josh Freeman suffered strains in his index, middle and ring fingers during a warm up throw at the Kentucky Invitational on Jan. 17. Freeman said the injury weakened his hand—inhibiting his throw all season—but he knew it was not serious enough to see a doctor. “[The training staff and I] dealt with it on our own with strength exercises, ice and heat,” he said. “We knew I couldn’t take time off for it. It was just one of those things you had to work through.” Freeman certainly worked
through the injury, winning six of the eight indoor shot put events he entered including the MVC championship. His only finish outside of the top two was an eighth place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championship on March 14. But his throw of 18.69 meters still earned him his first first-team All-American award. Throws coach John Smith said while everyone else was failing in the event, Freeman threw tough and earned the award. Freeman said he was happy with being All-American even though he never felt comfortable with the shot on his neck and in his hand. “I can’t complain, I’ve never been a first-team All-American,” he said. “There was so much more there though.”
While working through the finger injuries, Freeman practiced with a protective glove on his throwing hand for four weeks. Freeman said he pushed himself to practice without the glove, which he could not use in competitions once he got closer to the Missouri Valley Conference and NCAA championships. “It was a little tough on the hand at first, but it started to come back around” he said. “We thought it would be 100 percent by the NCAA [championships].” Finishing the indoor season as an All-American stirred up mixed emotions for Freeman. “I can worry about placing as high as I can because I have that first-team All-American under my belt,” he said. “But it’s still a

nationals for discus with senior Curtis Wideman. Freeman said he will set a distance rather than a place as his goal for outdoor shot put. “The men’s shot put is so strong right now,” he said. “If I can throw 66-feet plus at the national meet, I’ll be happy.” Smith said Freeman is still two months from being able to hit 66-feet because a hand injury will take a couple more months to get back to full strength. Coach Connie Price-Smith said she is happy Freeman is focusing on a distance instead of a rank. “He can control that and I think it’s the best way for him to go into the season,” she said. “If he does what he is capable of doing, the rest will take care of itself.”
motivator because I didn’t place as high as I could have.” Smith said Freeman is a stronger outdoor thrower because he feels his throw better off of concrete instead of plywood. Freeman has success in the outdoor shot put in his career, winning the MVC championship last season. His throw of 19.86 meters also set the MVC Outdoor Championship shot put record. Discus is an event added for the outdoor season, and Freeman said he is looking forward to competing in it. Smith said discus can help Freeman’s shot by focusing on turning cleaner. He said Freeman is throwing the discus better than he has ever seen him, and he could possibly make it to
