ATO denies making racist video that calls for lynchings TYLER DAVIS | @TDavis_DE

A YouTube video spouting racist views of black people at SIU is making the rounds on social media, increasing the conversation about racism on campus. The 2-minute, 5-second video posted Thursday by YouTube account “ATO AZO” calls black people the N-word while using footage from the Disney movie “A Bug’s Life.” An anonymous speaker ends the video by attributing the message to the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at SIU and calling for black students to be beaten and lynched on May 2. May 2 is also the date of protests against student loan debt. Nolan McConnell, president of SIU’s ATO, said no one in his fraternity made the video, which is titled “SIUC White is Right.” “Obviously there’s been stuff going on with us since that Facebook video was posted a few weeks ago,” McConnell said in response to a viral video accusing ATO members of making racist comments against blacks and Latinos. “I’m assuming it’s just a retaliation because those people were most likely silenced and it kind

of died down. I think they’re trying to re-hype what was going on.” SIUC interim Chancellor William Bradley Colwell responded to the video in an email sent to students, requesting it be removed. He urged students to stop sharing the video, which has nearly 2,500 views, and said disciplinary action could be taken against the publisher. “Those who choose to disrupt the campus or threaten others will be held accountable via laws and policies that are in place to protect our community,” he said. Kendall Crayton, a member of the Black Affairs Council, said the video is probably not the ATO’s doing. Crayton, a senior from Peoria studying mining engineering, said recent graffiti at Faner Hall about student loan debt has inspired people to anonymously speak about issues on campus. “It’s just a bunch of keyboard warriors that are just taking advantage of the situation that happened with the spray painting of the walls of Faner [Hall],” he said. “We shouldn’t feed in to this. They’re just trying to rile everybody up.” Please see RACIST | 4

Lentz’s head chef dies at 48 BREY MONG-DELANE @BreyMongDE

James Gilmore, the head chef at Lentz Dining Hall who was better known by students as “Chef Jim,” died Saturday. He worked at Lentz for eight years and was 48. “James touched my life in a very profound way,” said Cory Rowley, a childhood friend of Gilmore. “He was always there when I needed a friend, a ride or just to get out and go adventuring. He gave of himself so freely.” Jon Shaffer, director of University Housing, said James had a great personality and loved working with the students. “Whenever, wherever I saw Jim, he was happy and bubbly,” Shaffer said. Rowley, 36, of Union County, said Gilmore loved most things

outdoors, especially birds and more specifically bald eagles. Sharon Spence, who works at Lentz, recalled how Gilmore would cook a special Brazilian cuisine for the students at the dining hall. She remembers how Gilmore would “often come up with new ways and meals to serve to the students.” Gilmore was not married, but had three dogs he loved very much, Rowley said. He said because of a traumatic brain injury, Gilmore was placed on leave about two years ago. It is unclear how he died. “It crushed him to leave a job he loved so much,” Rowley said.

Fun, food and fundrasing for Flint

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE Kamaal Najieb, a senior from Chicago studying microbiology, grills chicken wings Saturday during the “SIUC for Flint” fundraising event at the Phi Kappa Tau House. Najieb said the goal of the barbecue was to raise between $2,000 and $3,000 to support the water crisis in Flint, Mich. “I was like to my roommate [Kendall Crayton], ‘Man, this issue in Flint really bothers me, we should do something about it,’” Najieb said. “We didn’t want it to be just a him and I thing, we wanted it to be a southern Illinois thing.” Najieb and Crayton, a senior from Peoria studying mining engineering, got Golden Corral, 17th Street Barbecue, Saluki Bar N’ Grill and a local community service building to donate food and supplies. “One thing that makes me so happy is that knowing one day I will leave a mark on this youth who is being affected... and the cycle will keep on going where people will continue to give.”

State funding on the horizon CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE

The state may soon money provide colleges and universities with money for the first time since the budget impasse began in July. State lawmakers approved a measure Friday that would give the governor spending authority to provide $600 million for public higher education and low-income student grant aid. The SIU system would receive nearly $58 million for operational costs — 30 percent of the money the university was supposed to receive this fiscal year. The legislation marked the first sign of bipartisan support for a higher education funding measure since the state’s budget impasse began in July, passing the House 106-2 and in the Senate 55-0. The bill is a stopgap measure designed to fill the hole in funding for a short amount of time. “It buys everybody some time,” said SIU President Randy Dunn. “We now have to turn around, go

back and continue to seek the full amount of fiscal year 2016 state support that we would typically anticipate getting for a year.” Dunn said if the bill is signed, SIUC will see about 60 percent of the $58 million. The bill also provides almost $170 million for the state’s Monetary Award Program, a lowincome grant given to college students statewide. The program received $373 million in fiscal year 2015, which is a difference of $203 million or 54 percent. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has yet to sign the bill, but is expected to do so following amendments made in the House. Rauner’s press secretary Catherine Kelly said Thursday the General Assembly should “move the agreement to the Governor’s desk without delay.” House Speaker Michael Madigan rallied the rank-and-file Democrats to pass the measure Friday with hope the emergency

relief would be a benchmark in a continued push toward a more comprehensive funding. “I am hopeful the governor sees the funding in this higher education package not as a solution, but as emergency assistance to those most in need,” House Speaker Michael Madigan said. All local legislators in the districts that encompass SIU voted to approve the measure and begin a cash-flow for the university. “We can only hope to stop the bleeding with this ‘band aid,’” said Sen. Dave Luechtefeld, R-Okawville. “There are no real winners with today’s budget bill, only a sliver of relief is being provided.” Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, said he voted for the measure because SIU is in a “crisis situation.” “Jobs are at stake, our young people’s education is at stake, and I will not stand by and let this happen,” Forby said. “State schools need state funding. Period.” Please see FUNDING | 4

SIU lecturer reflects on work with Prince

EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

SIU senior lecturer Todd Herreman has worked with huge names in the music industry, including Michael Jackson, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Jeff Beck and Jody Watly. But during lunch on Thursday, he received tragic news of a former star he worked with — Prince. "My break was the Prince gig," Herreman said of the rockstar who was found dead in his Minneapolis home early Thursday morning. "I started working with equipment thinking I might go work for one of the big manufacturers who changing the face of making records, in doing so I sold some esoteric equipment to Prince. His manager gave me a call to recommend someone to run this equipment for Prince. I said that would be me." Herreman, who works in SIU's radio and television department, started working a sampling synthesizer

for Prince. From there he became a hitech roadie, and "keyboard babysitter" for Prince in Los Angeles, on tour in Japan, London and across Europe, and recorded in Prince's home in Minneapolis during the late '80s. "They used to call James Brown the hardest working man in show business, but Prince took that title over," Herreman said. Herreman said he remembers rehearsals that would last eight hours. Prince would go over soundcheck, dance numbers, and when they were finished, they would get back and start recording some new songs. "He gets a bad rap for being too tough, but he needed someone who could keep up with him — if you couldn't you were out," he said. Herreman remembered working on the album released by Prince under the name Mad House, titled "Eight." The entire album was instrumental, with

Prince improvising most of the music. They finished recording the album after working three straight days. Only four people worked on the album — an engineer, a sax player, Prince and Herreman. "One of the dreaded words that when you have been working for 36 hours straight, you would think Prince would be just about done, and you could get maybe an hour of sleep," Herreman said. "Prince says in his kind-of nasal voice would go 'Fresh Tape,' which meant he wanted to record another song, and you're not going to get any sleep for a while." After the eighth song was finished, the sun was coming up on Monday morning, the lights were dimmed and the studio was silent — except for the sound of a completed tape smacking against the reel as it turned, Herreman said.

Just as long as you ride

Jacob Wiegand | @ JacobWiegand_DE David Adams rides past Jon Stevens, holding flag and directing traffic, while finding a parking spot Sunday during the annual Blessing of the Bikes at Bald Knob Cross of Peace in Alto Pass. Adams, of Johnston City, said the Blessing of the Bikes is a good time to meet with fellow bikers. “And the blessing is good to protect you for the year,” said Adams, who has been coming to the cross for more than a decade. Stevens, of Johnston City, estimated that 5,000 bikes visited the cross during the event. “It’s just the fact that there’s fellowship and everybody is seeing everybody and being kind,” Stevens said. “It’s just as long as you ride.”

Fraternities, sororities rally against discrimination, hate DIAMOND JONES | Daily Egyptian

SIU’s Inter-Greek Council joined the movement toward freedom of speech and expression with the “I Won’t Stand For” campaign to combat racism and other social issues on campus. Greek students who participated Thursday received shirt that reads “I Won’t Stand For ___.” They then used a marker to write a social issue they oppose. The campaign started with USA Network’s Characters Unite, which lets anyone join the fight against intolerance and hate. “When people are expressive, it sparks other people to be expressive and be involved in the conversation about issues that we face on campus,” said Rose Weisenstein, executive director of the Inter-Greek Council. Weisenstein, a junior from Belleville studying human nutrition and dietetics, said she wants to show people that fraternity and sorority students engage in more than partying. She said with this campaign, she wants to show that any acts of discrimination are unacceptable, especially when it’s done by Greek members. “It’s been a long time coming to address these issues,” Weisenstein said. “I know racism has been on this campus for a long time and in the shadow, and now it’s finally getting light.” Weisenstein said more than 500 shirts have been distributed to students and more were ordered. Students covered their shirts with phrases against violence, homophobia and bullying. Characters Unite is also an

award-winning public service program with the support of leading national nonprofits, which backs activities and messages that prevent these acts. The organization goes against prejudice and intolerance while promoting understanding and acceptance online and in communities across the country, according to its website. “I stand against malice, which is any wrongful intentions on another person,” said Logan Anderson, a sophomore from Rockford studying business in health management.

“I stand against malice, which is any wrongful intentions on another person” - Logan Anderson Sophomore

Anderson, who has experienced bullying, said participating in such events has made him stronger and more involved campus. Mustafa “MJ” Abdullah Jr., a member of the Sigma Pi fraternity, said SIU has a sense of unity, but he thinks it can be more connected. “We all got accepted here and we should work together and accept everyone no matter what background, so that we can all be better together,”

said Abdullah, the assessment and recognition coordinator for the InterGreek Council. Abdullah, a senior studying marketing, said the recent racism and discrimination on campus awakened him to the reality of issues affecting black students such as himself. He said as painful as it may be for the school, people must accept that these issues exist and use these conversations to make the university better. Anderson, the issues and awareness coordinator of the Inter-Greek Council, said on-campus racism is seldom acknowledged without proof. He said if students stand up, make videos and speak about it, they’re guaranteed to be recognized. “Your campus should feel like your home, and there’s so much diversity and minorities on campus, and for them or anyone to feel discriminated against is terrible,” Anderson said. With this campaign Weisenstein and Anderson want to make Greek life appear more positive. Anderson said people see the organizations as predominantly white filled with partygoers who are bound to drop out. He wants people to know Greeks care about the community. “We hope that this movement keeps going and others have the opportunity to speak out and continue to spread awareness,” Weisenstein said.

Crayton is not taking the threats made in the video seriously and said students should not worry about their safety May 2. McConnell, a junior from Bourbonnais studying computer science, said he told ATO’s national organization about the video. “[The video] has ‘ATO AZO.’ I’m not even sure what AZO is,” McConnell said. “That’s not even our chapter initials, or really have anything to do with us.” He said his chapter is meeting with the Center for Inclusive Excellence, which promotes equality and diversity on campus, to better inform his fraternity about racism. However, he denied his members’ involvement in any racist acts. “Every organization has those two or three bad apples who get the organization in trouble from time to time,” Crayton said. “There’s always that one person who ruins it.” This comes during a time of several reported racist incidents on campus. In a Facebook live video, SIU student Leilani Bartlett said white students — some of whom are alleged ATO members — used racial slurs against her and told her in Brown Hall to “go back to Africa.” The video had gained more than 171,000 views and nearly 6,000 shares on Facebook as of Sunday afternoon. “You’re not going to make me feel uncomfortable at a school I pay $22,000 to go to,” Bartlett, a freshman from Chicago studying business, said in the 3-minute, 26-second video. “I went down there and I confronted all of them. Y’all want to have an open discussion and an open forum about black people? Let me pull up a seat.”

Interim Chancellor William Bradley Colwell responded to the video via email by saying the university was investigating the incident. After Bartlett’s video, 100 people marched from Brown Hall to Morris Library to demonstrate against on-campus racism. The group walked to the library chanting phrases such as “How’s a university take pride in its diversity, but we can’t live here comfortably?” and “Accepted, but not welcomed.” Then on April 17, a swastika was drawn on a Neely Hall chalkboard next to a pro-Donald Trump message, reading “Build That Wall” and “This country is so sad.” About 20 students gathered Monday for a sit-in in the lobby of the chancellor’s office in Anthony Hall, where they demanded the university resume a search for a professor who specializes in Africana philosophy and AfricanAmerican philosophy. Johnathan Flowers, a doctoral candidate in philosophy from Oak Park, said the department has been trying to get a professor in this position for the last 10 years, and this is the first year the administration had approval to conduct a search and interview applicants. He said having a professor that specializes in Africana and African-American philosophy would serve all students. Students expressed concerns on Wednesday about on-campus racism during a meeting held by the Center for Inclusive Excellence. The panel of administrators said students can be open when filing complaints, and explained what resources students have to file a complaint. Evan Jones contributed to this report.

PRINCE CONTINUED FROM

“Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to break the silence,” he said. “I said to Prince, ‘How can you sleep at night knowing you could do stuff like that?’ And we weren’t buddy-buddy, I had been working with him every day for over a year. But there was this moment — probably because he was very tired — he said something very personal, and it explained it all. ‘Todd that’s the problem,’ he said. ‘I can’t sleep at night. God hands me a groove and I can’t throw it away.’ “It chokes me up when I hear that because he meant it. He literally thought it wasn’t him that he was channeling — that it was a gift. Whatever you believe that to be, he thought he would be doing a disservice to not record that.” From then on, Herreman said, it was a lot easier to get out of bed when Prince was paging him at 3 a.m. in Minneapolis in 20-below weather. Prince Rogers Nelson was 57. Evan Jones can be reached at Ejones@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3325.

FUNDING CONTINUED FROM

Even if Rauner signs this bill, the university system will still be about $140 million short of what Dunn expected it to receive from the state for fiscal year 2016. “We heard from legislators on both sides of the aisle — Republicans and Democrats — that this is intended to be only a short-term fix, and that everyone is committed to coming back and getting [fiscal year 2016] funding,” Dunn said. “We’re going to hold their feet to the fire on that pledge.” Bill Lukitsch contributed to this report.

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE A fan takes a picture of Chase Rice as he performs Saturday at SIU Arena. Rice toured Carbondale, along with various other universities, as part of “College Days, Country Nights: The Chase Rice Back to College Tour.”

Chase Rice makes good on his word THOMAS DONLEY | @TDonleyDE

Chase Rice promised a show that would allow southern Illinois to have a good time and “forget about life for a while.” He did just that Saturday night at SIU Arena. Rice’s up-tempo country sound had fans screaming and singing along from the time his curtain dropped at the start of his performance, opening with “How She Rolls,” one of his most popular songs not to make it to radio waves. Wasting no time fitting in, Rice denounced the concert’s no-alcohol policy and accepted a beer tossed to him from the crowd

early in the set. Covers of popular songs like Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer,” along with Rice’s own songs played true to their studio recordings kept the energy high. Rice also showed his range with the slower, emotionally vulnerable “Jack Daniel’s and Jesus.” Rice involved both of his opening acts in his show, bringing out Lacy Cavalier to perform the hot-andheavy “Ride,” and Jon Langston for a duet of “Cruise,” a song Rice wrote with his buddies Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, better known as Florida Georgia Line, who took the song to Diamond status (10 millions copies sold).

Langston preceded Rice with a similar style of show. The lesserknown artist had some people singing along to “Rollin’ In and Rockin’ Out,” “Forever Girl” and covers of Tim McGraw and Toby Keith hits. The only memorable part of Cavalier’s set was a cover of R. Kelly’s “Ignition” that can be best described as awkward. The show was the fifth stop in Rice’s seven-campus Back to College Tour. His next show will be at East Georgia State College in Swainsboro, Ga. Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307.

SIU football holds annual spring scrimmage JACOB GAERTNER | @JGaertnerDE

SIU football held its Annual Spring Scrimmage on Saturday, giving fans a taste of the 2016 football season. The final score was 43-35, in favor of the offense. This was the third scrimmage for the Dawgs and the team won't see action again until September. Here are the takeways from the game: Quarterback battle becoming more defined Sophomore Sam Straub started the scrimmage on the first drive and played the majority of the game, including all but two of the second half possessions. Straub had a rough day, though, completing less than half of his passes. He was 9 for 25 for 81 yards. He took some hard hits, including one at the knees that left him limping for the next few minutes, and a sack and fumble on the final play of the game. Senior Josh Straughan scored the first touchdown of the scrimmage, and completed 70-yard and 95yard drives. He was 12 for 18 for 91 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore Matt DeSomer and redshirt freshman Tanner Hearn only had a couple of drives each and only DeSomer had one that scored. DeSomer carried the ball five times for 36 yards and completed

two passes for 28 yards on a drive in the second half, capping it off with a five-yard rushing touchdown. Defense looked good Kraig Paulson's 4-3 defense had a strong showing, as most of the

first-team defensive drives resulted in three-and-outs by the offense. The defense registered four sacks in the scrimmage, led by senior defensive end Deondre Barnett's 1.5 sacks. Senior linebacker Chase Allen was

Saluki softball gets sweep on the road against the Braves SEAN CARLEY | @ SCarleyDE

The Saluki softball offense picked up where it left off Saturday. SIU won a Missouri Valley Conference series on the road for the second time this season — this one in a sweep after defeating Bradley in Peoria, 6-3. "It's nice to just get back to playing well again," coach Kerri Blaylock said. "We feel if we just keep playing well, the W's will take care of themselves." The Dawgs registered a seasonhigh 13 hits Sunday, picking up contributions throughout the lineup. Bradley (14-25, 8-10 MVC) used four different pitchers in the game and SIU (28-16, 11-8 MVC) had success against each of them as five different batters got multiple hits and seven reached base. SIU garnered a lead early, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning on one hit. Four different Salukis got a walk and junior catcher Jessa Thomas was hit by a pitch to help the cause. "It was just a sloppy long game," Blaylock said. "There wasn't a lot

of flow or rhythm to the game with how many walks there were." Braves freshman starter Julie Kestas (4-12, 6.73 ERA) took the loss, throwing 2/3 of an inning and allowing the three runs in the first. The one hit was an RBI single by sophomore third baseman Sydney Jones, who rebounded from an 0-6 day Saturday by going 3-4 with two RBIs Sunday. "She did a great job," Blaylock said. "She jumped on pitches early, hit the ball hard and was finally able to find holes with it." Jones was just part of a 5-6-7 string in the batting order that was on fire Sunday. The trio of freshman outfielder Hanna Porter, Jones and Thomas combined to go 7-10 on the day with four RBIs. The top of the order was solid as well, as senior shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez and freshman left fielder Eyrika Brandenburg combined to go 5-8 against the Braves' pitchers. "Eyrika played really well today," Blaylock said. "She and Merri Anne made excellent plays in the field that saved us from

some trouble." Six runs would be more than enough for Saluki freshman starter Brianna Jones (20-9, 1.91 ERA), who extended her own SIU freshman record, picking up her 20th win this season. Jones joined former Salukis Danielle Glosson, Amy Harre, Lisa Peterson, Erin Stremsterfer, Jaime Schuttek and Cassidy Scroggins as the only pitchers in SIU history to win 20 games. Jones threw another complete game Sunday, surrendering six hits and striking out three to push her total to 132 strikeouts on the year. SIU will be back in action 5 p.m. Wednesday to battle Evansville on the road, hoping to avenge a doubleheader loss Tuesday to the Purple Aces in Carbondale. "It's a new game and you just have to try to play well," Blaylock said. "Hopefully we continue what we got going right now when we head out there."

all over the field making plays, as well as leading the defense in a middle linebacker spot that he fits well in. Senior defensive back Tareq Abulebbeh played most of the second half snaps in spite of his ongoing recovery from a lower leg injury.

He made two key plays, stopping Hearn after a nine-yard scramble and defending a 20-yard pass targeted for sixth-year senior wide receiver Israel Lamprakes. Drops plagued the offense The offense struggled to get things going outside of a handful of big drives. Lamprakes played with the firstteam offense, but only recorded one catch for seven yards. Junior wide receiver Connor Iwema had back-to-back drops to stall a drive, but later recovered with a tough catch in tight coverage for a first down. In spite of the drops, the Salukis finished the day with no turnovers. Running attack inconsistency Sophomore running back Daquan Isom had more than 100 yards rushing in the scrimmage, including a 50-yarder he broke out on the second drive of the game. Isom also had a five-yard touchdown to cap off a 95-yard drive with Straughan. Outside of Isom and a single drive from DeSomer, the Salukis couldn't find any consistency in the running game.

Redbirds salvage a game, SIU baseball wastes Baird’s gem THOMAS DONLEY | @TDonleyDE

SIU sophomore pitcher Michael Baird turned in a gem Sunday, but his teammates could not figure out Illinois State pitching in a 1-0 loss. Redbird senior lefty Jacob Hendren entered the game 1-7 on the season with a 7.21 ERA, but held the Salukis scoreless in Bloomington on three hits with three strikeouts and three walks in seven innings to deny the Dawgs a weekend sweep. Hendren earned the win and lowered his ERA to 6.31. Baird (6-3, 1.73 ERA) pitched eight innings, allowing a lone run on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk. He retired 13 straight Redbirds after a one-out single by senior center fielder Daniel Dwyer in the first inning. SIU sophomore left fielder Greg Lambert had the game's only extra-base hit, a sixthinning double that put runners at second and third with one out. The Salukis (23-17-1, 4-5 Missouri Valley Conference) failed to capitalize, as sophomore first baseman Logan Blackfan grounded back to Hendren and sophomore designated hitter

Drew Curtis flied out to left. "We gave away too many at-bats early and did not have good approaches," coach Ken Henderson said to Saluki Athletics. "We were better from the fifth inning on, but we just couldn’t get anything to fall." Baird's only hiccup came in the bottom of the sixth, when a walk and two base hits brought in the game's only run. Freshman shortstop Owen Miller drove home the run with a one-out single to left field. "[Baird] was outstanding again for us," Henderson said. "He held them to one run, and you can’t do much better than that. We just have to find a way to get runs when you have a guy pitching like that." Illinois State (11-27, 2-6 MVC) picked up its second conference win of the year. Junior closer Jack Landwehr picked up his third save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. The Salukis' next game will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Southeast Missouri State. Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307
