Stepping hard
Faculty to host teach-in Monday CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE
Faculty members planned their own events for a day scheduled full of rallies and protests. In response to a YouTube video that calls for lynchings on campus that day, history professor Holly Hurlburt has organized a teach-in along with half a dozen to a dozen professors to educate students on social justice. The event will begin at noon near the Faner Hall breezeway. “We were all pretty angry about the video,” Hurlburt said. “We were pretty upset that whoever created the video felt like he or she could threaten people in that way, and in particular, make it as though it’s not OK to come to school.” Hurlburt said this is not a strike alongside the May 2 Strike Committee; rather, it is an attempt to let those propagating violent speech know it will not stop people from coming to the university Monday. For Hurlburt, she plans to use the teach-in as a way to evoke conversation about racism. The faculty will also screen “Strange Fruit,” a 2003 film about the history of lynchings. “We need to have an honest conversation on this campus about the legacy of lynching,” Hurlburt said. “Because when that video chose to use that terminology, that wasn’t accidental. That was fear-mongering.” While she doesn’t want professors to cancel classes because of the event, she hopes it will attract them to bring their classes to it. Then at 4 p.m., students can join an open mic reading about social justice in Faner 2302. “We believe quite strongly that conversation and dialogue will go a lot further than in solving problems than threats of violence will,” Hurlburt said. SIU Police Chief Ben Newman said Sunday his department will have extra officers on duty in response to anticipated protests. Cory Ray can be reached at cray@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3325.

Carbondale adult-education school will close if state funding doesn’t come soon ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre
The Carbondale High School Rebound program — started in 1970 to give southern Illinois residents the opportunity to receive their high school diploma or earn their GED certificate — faces uncertainty going into next school year thanks to the state budget impasse. “If we don’t have a budget by the end of June, we’re going to plan on not opening in the fall,” Stephen Murphy, superintendent of Carbondale Community High School, said of the program that serves about 225 students every year. The prospect of the school’s closing is concerning to employees and alumni of the program, which,
like most state-funded institutions, has not seen any state money since July 1 amid the budget impasse between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislators. Jake Burns, 21, of Murphysboro, said he never had a formal high school education because his parents pulled him out of school in eighth grade. At first first he thought it was really cool to be out of school, but he said that feeling of freedom only lasted for so long. “You realize you’re in a gutter and you’re not going anywhere with life,” he said. “It just sucks.” In 2013, when Burns was 18, he came to Rebound to complete his GED before he started at John A. Logan Community College in
Carterville that summer. “This place is a crutch for a lot of people who have been told that they don’t mean anything or that they don’t matter,” he said. He said the people here change students’ lives. For him, that person is Candy Calcaterra, who recently helped him get admitted into SIU with more than $10,000 in scholarships per year. “Three years ago I would have never thought I’d be at SIU,” Burns said with a grin as he pulled his new student ID out of his wallet. Burns is not the only one who got a second chance at an education at Rebound. When Marcie Johnson first stepped beneath the colorfully-

painted ceiling tiles in the small, five-classroom school, she had not received an education past 11th grade. Decades later, she decided she wanted to receive her high school diploma. Johnson, now a grandmother of two, started at Rebound in 2005 — testing at a fourth-grade reading level and a third-grade math level. “The more I learned, the better I started caring about myself,” she said. “Education gives you tools.” She graduated from Rebound in 2010 with a high school diploma and has attended John A. Logan College since, working toward an associate’s degree in art. Please see REBOUND | 2

Two of the Southeast Missouri State University students suspected in a March 27 Carbondale shooting that resulted in the death of Tim Beaty and the injury of another man pleaded not guilty Thursday to multiple felony gun charges. Co-defendants Travis Tyler, 21, of Hazelwood, Mo., and John Ingram, 21, of Webster Groves, Mo., were each indicted by a grand jury in early April on two counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm. Both defendants face a Class X felony and two Class 2 felonies, which, if convicted on all counts, would carry a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison. Ingram’s defense attorney Bryan Drew asked the court to reduce a $1 million bond set on his client to $200,000 on grounds that the amount is unduly burdensome. He argued Ingram acted in self-defense the night of the shooting and was within his legal right to bear a firearm under Missouri’s concealed carry law. Assistant State’s Attorney Casey

“I didn’t care about nothing until I started going to school and seeing that there’s a better life out there,” she said. “I like me now, and that’s a good feeling.” Even though Johnson no longer attends Rebound, she said she doesn’t let a month pass without visiting, greeting all her old teachers with a big hug. Marla Martin, who has been an adult basic education reading instructor at Rebound for 15 years, said once someone has been a student, they are always welcome back, especially since a lot of the students stay in the area. “If their life is chaos, they come here and have support they don’t
Bloodworth, the prosecutor in the case, objected to the reduction, citing reasons of potential flight risk and general safety concerns for the community. Judge Kimberly Dahlen denied the motion and upheld the current bond at $1 million. She then granted a motion by the prosecution to collect blood, hair and saliva samples to be taken as evidence from the two defendants. The two SEMO students surrendered to law enforcement earlier this month following the issuance of nationwide felony arrest warrants by the Jackson County State’s Attorney. Police say the two fired guns in the direction of victim Nehemiah Greenlee at about 2 a.m. March 27 in the 400 block of West Walnut Street. Greenlee suffered a non-lifethreatening injury. Investigating officers learned an altercation at a large party led to the incident and gunshots were fired both inside and outside the home. Witnesses who spoke to the Daily Egyptian on the condition of anonymity said Beaty, 41, was killed while attempting save them.
The only official statement released by Carbondale police is that Beaty was an uninvolved bystander killed by a stray bullet. A third suspect, Dwayne Dunn Jr., 21, of St. Louis, entered a plea of not guilty during his arraignment on April 21. He is charged with two felony counts for allegedly firing a Smith & Wesson handgun in the sky and illegal possession of a firearm under state statutes. Dunn remains in Jackson County Jail on a $500,000 bond. Police are still searching for Daniel Holmes, 21, of Carbondale, as a fourth suspect. Additionally, Holmes is a wanted suspect in connection with a separate shooting at an apartment complex near campus days after the Easter Sunday shooting. Holmes is considered armed and dangerous by police. Anyone with information about these incidents is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-COPS (2677).
have elsewhere,” she said. “It’s the labor of love over here.” Stephanie Brown, who has been a family educator at the school for 10 years, said many people have the misconception that just because someone is at Rebound, they behaved poorly in high school. “They aren’t bad kids,” she said. “They’ve had bad situations in their life.” Calcaterra, a guidance counselor at Rebound who will be retiring this spring, said the program works with groups such as the Women’s Center, Centerstone and Good Samaritan Ministries to help students get any outside support they need to succeed.
However, if the school closes, she said it will be very difficult for the students to find another place to continue their education. “We’re not advocating just for us to keep employment,” Brown said. “No, we’re worried about the hundreds of students who are not going to successfully complete their high school diploma if we’re not here.” She said all of the teachers there make less than $25,000 a year. “Rebound is Carbondale’s best kept secret,” Brown said. “It’s a diamond in the rough.”

Fraternity’s event fundraises for twins with muscular dystrophy DIAMOND JONES | Daily Egyptian
The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity raised money this weekend for “Hope for Haven and Hadly,” two 7-year-old twin girls fighting muscular dystrophy. “What we want to do for this family is relieve stress,” said Terry Matthews, a Kappa Alpha Psi member. “We want to give the most financial and moral support that we can.” Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass, according to the Mayo Clinic website. With this condition, abnormal genes interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscles. People who have the disease will eventually lose the ability to walk, some may have trouble breathing or swallowing and there is no cure. Matthews, a senior from Chicago studying Education, said he heard about the fundraiser through a mentor. He had the chance to meet both Haven and Hadly Noto and see their mother, an elementary school teacher, on a daily basis and has also met their father, a police officer. “I can relate because my family worked hard and couldn’t give me everything I needed,” Matthews said. “I understand it because with this situation everyone needs support under the circumstances of a family struggling to provide.” The Kappas are getting others involved as well. Ten contestants of the “Meet the Queens” court at the 46th Annual Kappa Karnival Queen Pageant on Saturday helped fundraise for the twins by washing cars and selling food and baked goods. “As I did research on the event,
it touched my heart,” said Cheanell Dotson, one of the Kappa Carnival Queen contestants. Dotson, a senior from Glenwood studying radio-television, said she saw videos of the two girls smiling and laughing and she knew this disease was slowly and painfully taking them away. She said seeing that made it her goal to raise as much money as possible. “I feel as though the good moves and decisions we make are overshadowed by negativity,” Matthews said. “We don’t need to be awarded all the time; it just needs to be known that we’re doing something good.” Kappa Alpha Psi also helped the Flint, Mich., water crisis by
holding a party in which each guest brought a water bottle to give to the University of Michigan, along with the money raised. “Word of mouth is the most influential way to spread the word about something, and we’re doing that by being a part of this event,” said Dotson, who is also the director of the Student Programming Council’s television program.

SIU releases video in response to recent racism on campus DAILY EGYPTIAN CAMPUS DESK
The university published a YouTube video Friday in response to a video posted last week that called for lynchings on campus. The video, titled “It’s Not OK,” features students and interim Chancellor Brad Colwell talking about the negativity of racism on campus. It is a response to “SIUC White is Right,” a video that uses the N-word and encourages violence against black students on Monday. The video, which is less than two minutes long, can be viewed at bit.ly/24boU3c. “Whoever this is needs to be confronted,” soon-to-be student trustee Naomi Tolbert said during an April 25 meeting with Lori Stettler, vice chancellor for student affairs, to put

together the video. Colwell sent out an email last week addressing the racist video, which has been be taken off YouTube, and urged students to “stand together as Salukis to fight intolerance.” Students decided to work with the university to create the response video. During the meeting April 25, students also suggested mandatory diversity training on campus at the beginning of each year, noting that many students have not previously been exposed to as much diversity as the Carbondale campus. “We need to show as a community on campus that we will not stand for any of this nonsense,” Tolbert said.

Chicago State lays off a third of its staff
JODI S. COHEN | Chicago Tribune
Chicago State University on Friday said more than 300 employees are being laid off, a dramatic downsizing a week after the school received some long-awaited money from the state, the Tribune has learned. The layoffs — which equal about one-third of the workforce — are effective immediately. “It’s dreadful. I have spoken to people as they have been packing up their offices,” Chicago State President Thomas Calhoun Jr. said in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. But, he said, “It is not disheartening for the future of the university. The university has been here 150 years and will continue to be here.” Calhoun said the cuts will touch
every area of the university — from associate vice presidents to police officers, counselors and carpenters — and will reduce the number of noninstructional employees by nearly half. Faculty members were spared during this initial wave of cuts but are likely to be affected later. The cuts will save about 40 percent in payroll costs, or about $2 million a month, Calhoun said. They come after Chicago State and other Illinois schools went nearly the entire academic year without state money as lawmakers were unable to agree on a budget. Last week, lawmakers approved $20.1 million in emergency funding for Chicago State, part of a larger funding package for public universities, but it proved to be too little, too late. “It was less than what we needed
and later than we needed it, as much as we appreciated getting it,” Calhoun said. “It really is a Band-Aid and not the solution.” Chicago State employees have been on edge since February, when officials sent notices of potential layoffs to all 900 employees. The university said it would not be able to meet payroll costs past April without state money. Earlier this month, Calhoun instructed administrators and civil service employees not to return to work after April 30 unless specifically told otherwise through a recall notice. Then, in a process that began Thursday and will likely continue through the weekend, some employees were “recalled,” or told that their jobs were safe for now. Employees who did not get notified should understand
that their jobs were cut, Calhoun said. Calhoun also said employees can be recalled in the future if the university realizes their positions are needed. “The recall process really is a process,” he said. “If we find, for example, that we are short in an area that is creating a bottleneck or a way in which we cannot function ... we will make note of that and recall appropriately. “We are hoping not to have a dramatic impact on the student experience because we want students to have a fulfilling day every day they come to the campus.” Located on the Far South Side, Chicago State serves about 4,500 mostly minority and low-income students from the city. It had nearly depleted its cash reserves when the state approved the
emergency funding — less than 60 percent of what the university had expected to receive this fiscal year. The funding was part of a $600 million stopgap measure to ensure that struggling campuses would stay open through the summer after the longest budget delay in state history. Of the $600 million, $356 million is for universities, $74 million for community colleges and $170 million for Monetary Award Program scholarships for low-income students. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the bill Monday. While the cash influx provided some relief, it was not enough to prevent the layoffs. To read more, please see dailyegyptian.com

Letter to the editor: As budget crisis continues, administrators prosper ANDREW GILLESPIE Graduate Student
More than half of the state’s $4.1 billion budget for universities is spent on retirement costs, according to a study by the Illinois Policy Institute. A large share of these benefits are going to those who have served, and perhaps even to some who are still serving, as administrators at state universities. Although it may not be well-known, a significant portion of administrators’ salaries are awarded in perpetuity after they leave their position and it is possible for administrators to collect large pensions at the same time that they are drawing high salaries in their administrative positions. Beyond this, high-level administrators often receive lavish perks and other
underreported forms of compensation. Let’s look at the example of adviser to Gov. Bruce Rauner and former SIU president Glenn Poshard. Poshard was able to draw a six-figure pension, mostly from the state, in addition to his salary while serving as SIU president. He retired as president of SIU in June of 2014. Yet, the Better Government Association found that by November of 2014, Poshard had already collected over $1.4 million in state pension benefits. It also found that his yearly state pension benefits exceeded the governor’s salary, and that his state pension benefits would exceed $280,000 a year if he lives past 80. A separate study by the Illinois State Senate Democratic Caucus recently found that SIU paid about $30,000 a year in addition to Poshard’s published
“... a significant portion of administrators’ salaries are awarded in perpetuity after they leave their position and it is possible for administrators to collect large pensions at the same time that they are drawing high salaries.”
$326,820 salary for an annuity in his name. The BGA reported that Poshard’s annuity was actually paid in the amount of $55,066 a year. Enter current SIU president Randy Dunn. Dunn has served the state for 27 years and he will conclude, retiring from the presidency at SIU, having earned an annual salary of $430,000. This will allow him to earn a large state pension, which is based on a high percentage of this salary. Dunn is actually an expert on the state pension system: in 2004 Gov. Rod Blagojevich tapped Dunn to serve as the president of a $31 billion Illinois pension program, the Teachers’ Retirement System of Illinois. Before coming to SIU, Dunn was president of Youngstown State University in Ohio for just seven months. His position at YSU had a number of perks in addition to his advertised salary of $375,000: use of a new car and all associated costs, free housing in a newly remodeled home, along with utilities and bills, travel and entertainment expenses and a country club membership. One can only assume that Dunn left YSU for a better situation here at
Daily Egyptian file photo Glenn Poshard shakes the hand of his successor, President Randy Dunn on April 30 when they met to discuss key university issues at the Stone Center. Dunn toured both the Edwardsville and Carbondale campuses the next day.
SIU. One aspect of this must have been the state pension benefits — from the system he helped design — he would reap from the Illinois system. Considering the massive pensions that will have followed in their train, one can only hope that these last two SIU presidents were some of Illinois’ most expensive hires. Regardless, our administrators are being compensated very well
and executive compensation for administrators is certainly a fundamental aspect of the state’s — and the university’s — budget crisis. However, it’s one issue that has hardly been brought into focus by the administration itself during these tough times. Andrew Gillespie is a graduate student in philosophy from Alton

Two former Salukis get a chance in NFL TED WARD | @TedWard_DE
Adam Fuehne
SIU athletics
Two SIU football players will get a chance to continue their careers with an NFL team. Shortly after the conclusion of the 2016 NFL Draft Saturday, Saluki tight end Adam Fuehne signed as an undrafted free agent with the Detroit Lions. Fuehne played in all 11 games last season, catching 25 passes and hauling in two touchdowns. The Damiansville native averaged more than 12 yards per reception in
his four years in maroon, catching 45 passes in 45 games with four career touchdowns. Fuehne had a career-high 130 receiving yards in a one-point loss against Indiana to open the 2015 season. Also, former Saluki outside linebacker Brandon Williams received a tryout at minicamp with the Atlanta Falcons, which will start May 6. Williams played all 11 games last season, leading the Salukis with 4.5 sacks and returning a punt for a touchdown. He finished his career
with 9.5 career sacks, 45 solo tackles and 18 tackles for loss. Fuehne will report to Lions training camp July 29. He’ll join former Saluki tight end MyCole Pruitt in the NFC North after Pruitt was drafted in the fourth round by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015. If Fuehne makes the Lions roster, the two will face each other twice, once on Nov. 6 and a Thanksgiving Day matchup on Nov. 24. Ted Ward can be reached at tward@dailyegyptian.com

Salukis go out in style on Senior Day SEAN CARLEY | @SCarley_DE
Three Salukis are going out as winners in their final act. Saluki softball shut out Northern Iowa on Senior Day Sunday 2-0 to clinch a 30-win season for the first time since 2012. Seniors Kelsey Gonzalez, Caylee Cook and Taylor Harris all played in their final regular season game at Charlotte West Stadium. “It was a huge win and series win today,” Gonzalez said. “It was definitely a good way to celebrate my Senior Day and final season.” Gonzalez went 1-3 in the game before being escorted by her parents, Mark and Joni Gonzalez, onto the field after the game where head coach Kerri Blaylock gave an emotional speech to her three graduating seniors. Gonzalez said emotions began to flow during the speech after the game. “It was a weird feeling because we still have a couple weeks left,” she said. “It’s definitely kind of winding down and as it is, I’m really realizing it more and more.” SIU (30-17, 13-9 Missouri Valley Conference) will host the MVC tournament beginning May 12, so the senior Salukis aren’t quite done at Charlotte West Stadium. While the seniors were the story of the game, freshman pitcher Brianna Jones (21-10, 1.80 ERA) provided quite the subplot, pitching her MVC-leading 10th shutout this season. Jones allowed four hits and

struck out eight. Saluki pitching was dominant all weekend against arguably the toughest competition it has seen this season. The Panthers lead the MVC in runs scored (303), hits (422) and home runs (58) entering Sunday
and Saluki pitchers held them to one run, 11 hits and zero home runs all weekend. The Panthers were inches away from a home run until junior center fielder Merri Anne Patterson caught a fly ball, crashing into the wall in the process.
“My offensive game was struggling and it has been all season,” Patterson said. “So the one thing I needed to be consistent in was my defense, and that’s the one way I can help this team. If that’s my role, then that’s my role.” After Saturday’s split
doubleheader, Blaylock said her top-four hitters in the lineup can be counted on after a strong season. They produced again on Sunday as the quartet of Gonzalez, freshman left fielder Eyrika Brandenburg, sophomore infielder Sydney Jones and junior first baseman Shaye Harre each had a hit. Brandenburg, Jones and Harre strung together three consecutive hits in the first inning to score the game’s first run against UNI starter Chelsea Ross (15-7, 2.34 ERA). After shutting out the Salukis on Saturday, Ross had not allowed a run to SIU since March 15, 2014 — 778 days ago. The Salukis tallied a second run in the fifth inning when sophomore second baseman Savannah Fisher hit a deep home run to left field and was doused with water as she jumped on home plate. “Fish’s home run was huge because it gave us some separation from [UNI],” Blaylock said. SIU has now won five of its last six games and is a single game out of second place in the MVC. The Dawgs will head to Evansville for a midweek matchup Wednesday before heading west to MVC leader Wichita State for the season-finale series against the Shockers Saturday and Sunday.

Men’s, women’s tennis finish season, will compete next year amid budget impasse SEAN CARLEY | @SCarley_DE
Two SIU athletic teams are off the budget chopping block. Both men’s and women’s tennis will compete in the 2016-17 academic year after speculation that the two teams would be cut because of the state’s historic budget crisis. Director of Athletics Tommy Bell said the teams will be around for at least the next year, and the intent is to keep them operating permanently, which men’s tennis coach Dann Nelson confirmed. “It’s a great relief, obviously,”
Nelson said. “We just want to thank all of our alumni who helped us and our athletic department who has represented us all so well.” Following the news, the women’s tennis team lost in the Missouri Valley Conference finals to No. 26 Wichita State 4-0, and the men’s team lost in the MVC semifinals to Drake 4-0. The women’s tennis team has finished in the top four of the conference the previous five years while the men’s team finished 2-1 in MVC play this season after finishing 0-3 in the conference last season.
On March 9, SIU President Randy Dunn listed men’s and women’s tennis as potential cuts in response to Republican Gov.
Bruce Rauner’s proposed fiscal year 2017 budget. After her final home match of the season April 23, sophomore women’s
“We just want to thank all of our alumni who helped us and our athletic department who has represented us all so well.” - Dann Nelson men’s tennis coach
player Athena Chrysenthou said her team had not been told any update on the status of the situation. “I’m sure just like every other program that was listed on that report, we were all nervous,” Nelson said. April 25, the governor signed a bill that allowed him to provide $600 million for public higher education and low-income student grant aid, approximately $58 million of which to go to SIU.
