The university has until Thursday to appeal an Illinois Education Association’s unfair labor practice lawsuit against SIU’s former administration. If it does not appeal, SIU would have to pay nearly $1.9 million to about 2,000 current and former employees. According to the ruling, the administration at the time–President Glenn Poshard and Chancellor Rita Cheng–acted unfairly in contract negotiations, resulting in a six-day strike and four furlough days in 2011. On Wednesday, President Randy Dunn met with the SIU Board of Trustees executive committee–Chairman Randal Thomas, Vice-Chairwoman Donna Manering and
Rita Cheng
former chancellor
What we don’t know: If no appeal, how will the university pay for the furlough days? When would employees receive the money owed to them?

Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association recieves notices of possible layoffs.
Contract negotiations begin ahead of contract’s end in July.
Secretary Don Lowery–in Edwardsville for a special meeting to discuss the situation. “No action from the meeting today,” Dunn wrote in a text message. “Announcement anticipated [Thursday] to be released by campus through Rae [Goldsmith, the university’s spokeswoman.]” In August, Poshard said the university was facing a severe fiscal crisis at the time and relied on Cheng’s assessment of the situation. “She felt like she had a good handle on the finances on campus there at the time and it was something we needed to do,” said Poshard, who retired in April. “[Association of Civil Service Employees] had every right to protest that and to put their case before the court, and apparently that’s what they did and they won and the university will have to pay them for that time they forfeited.”
IEA Uniserv Director Bret Seferian said negotiating with Dunn’s administration is much better because it actually tries to bargain with faculty. “It’s like night and day,” he said. “The attitude of the administration has changed a great deal. … The current administration gets it.” Jim Wall, president of the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Association, which represents more than 600 employees at the university, said furloughing teachers hurts the university as a whole, not just employees. “Imagine an undergraduate or graduate student going to class one day only to find our their professor has been furloughed and they have a sub for four days,” Wall said in an August interview. “It’s not just about us and our pocket books, it is also about the students.” See page 3 for a union breakdown

Judge Colleen Harvey, of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board, found the administration at the time “lacked an open mind and a sincere desire to reach agreement,” and “did not demonstrate any interest in working with the unions.”

Fire burns memories, displaces 8 Illinois governor’s motorcade involved in Chicago crash
Samuel Beard
@SamBeard_DE | Daily Egyptian
Eight students affiliated with Tau Kappa Epsilon had to find new living arrangements for the semester after a Jan. 5 fire damaged their home. The resolution found some young men living with friends, some finding a new apartment and some even taking shelter in a hotel. Blake Bradley, coordinator of fraternity and sorority life, said the university offered to pay the hotel bill for about four of the students, who stayed at the Super 8 located on East Main Street for three days. The men have since found new places to live because their rooms in the house, located at 408 W. Mill St., are uninhabitable. Two students moved to a new location owned by Chris Barrett, landlord of the Mill Street home, while another signed a lease with a new renter. Christopher Maniatis, a sophomore from Chicago studying
business administration, said he was the first to discover the midafternoon blaze. “All four of those guys at the top apartment pretty much lost everything,” he said. Maniatis said the fire destroyed fraternity heirlooms including portraits bearing the names and faces of members. “Things that are irreplaceable were lost,” Maniatis said. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.Bradley said the building is not an official chapter home for the fraternity and is simply associated with TKE. He said he is not sure how members will be reimbursed for lost items because he does not know who had renter’s insurance. Maniatis said some of his fraternity brothers do not have renter’s insurance and an online fundraiser helped pay for damaged items. Adam Armour, former SIU
TKE chapter president, created the fundraiser the same day as the fire, raising more than $5,000 in about one week. The money was distributed to the students who faced the most severe damages, Maniatis said. The Carbondale Fire Department arrived in about five minutes but did not put out the fire until a few hours later, Maniatis said. Carbondale Fire Chief John Michalesko said an electric wiring malfunction in the attic was deemed the cause of the fire. With multiple rooms burnt and out of commission, renovations are needed to make the apartments livable again. Barrett said he will restore the building but isn’t sure when the process will begin. “We’re going to… make it even better than before,” he said. “This will be something the TKEs can be proud of.”

A motorcade carrying Gov. Bruce Rauner was involved in a four-vehicle accident Wednesday morning, officials said. Neither Rauner nor any members of his security detail were hurt in the crash, which happened at Michigan Avenue and East Randolph Street, said Hiram Grau, director of the Illinois State Police. The governor’s motorcade was stopped at a red light prepared
to travel westbound on East Randolph when a two-vehicle crash occurred. One of the vehicles spun and slid across the intersection, hitting the vehicle Rauner was riding in and another vehicle. The vehicle suffered damage to the front right bumper and fender area, Grau said. Three people were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Obama allies vow to fight his State of the Union plea on trade Carter Dougherty Bloomberg News
Some of President Barack Obama’s staunchest allies are vowing to fight legislation he requested to expand his power to negotiate trade agreements. Rep. Rosa DeLauro said she supports Obama’s initiatives aimed at strengthening the middle class, but drew the line at his desire for so-called fast-track trade negotiating authority, which she said would sideline Congress. “It surrenders the congressional authority that we may need to protect American workers and American consumers,” DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat, said Wednesday at a news conference hours after Obama asked for fast-track authority in his State of the Union address to Congress. Labor groups, including the AFLCIO, and some Democrats have attacked the proposal, which would let Obama present a trade accord to Congress for an up-or-down vote without amendments. Opponents argue the trade deals are negotiated in secret and reflect a corporate agenda that has pulled down U.S. wages. U.S. businesses stand to gain greater access to markets in the Asia-Pacific region through a proposed accord known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 12 nations representing 40
percent of the global economy that the Obama administration said it hopes to complete this year. The U.S. also is working on a agreement with the 28-nation European Union that aims to clear away barriers to trade. The difficult path for Obama to win passage of legislation giving him the authority was illustrated by opponents who began issuing statements Tuesday night before Obama had even finished speaking. The Communications Workers of America said it supports many of Obama’s initiatives but wouldn’t stand with him “to send more U.S. jobs offshore.” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka applauded Obama’s initiatives on taxes and wages, but added “our opposition to fast-track trade deals that are giant giveaways to big corporations must be resolute.” The authority was used in 1993 to pass the North American Free Trade Agreement and the pact that created the World Trade Organization. “I’m the first one to admit that past trade deals haven’t always lived up to the hype,” Obama said in his State of the Union speech in Washington. “But 95 percent of the world’s customers live outside our borders, and we can’t close ourselves off from those opportunities.”

The facts about Frozen Fun Tyler Davis
@TDavis_DE | Daily Egyptian
Events sponsored by University Housing usually include kiddie games, popcorn and T-shirt giveaways, but rarely do they involve ice skates and green screens. Entertainment Avenue, a Maryland-based firm for fun, provided a 24-by-4 foot synthetic ice-skating rink that brought out more than 800 students to the Frozen Fun event Tuesday night at Grinnell Hall. “We didn’t know how many people would really be interested in ice skating indoors but we were really happy with the outcome,” said Justin Schuch, coordinator of residential leadership and engagement. Schuch said he cut out more than 70 3D snowflakes to help add to the theme. Schuch said housing usually schedules a large event each semester and this idea came from resident hall advisors. The Black Togetherness Organization, National Residence Hall Honorary and Area Councils also collaborated to create the event. The skating rink wasn’t really made of ice, but rather 42 4-by-8 foot plastic panels, said Danny Divens, Entertainment Avenue’s operations manager. “[We use] real thick, hard plastic as the
rink and then we spray a real thin, almost watery, silicone plastic on top of the rink and that’s what gives the illusion of gliding on ice,” he said. The plastic used for the skating rink, which weighs more than a ton when assembled, is similar to that of a cutting board. While the skating rink was not covered with ice, Divens said the skates were metal-tipped. He said skates are sharpened every four uses. “It’s not like you’re in your tennis shoes and just skate around; you actually use real ice skates,” he said. The rink itself, which was the medium option of the company’s three rink sizes, cost $3,000 and was paid for by the Student Activity Fee, Schach said. That fee was $45.40 during each of the last two semesters. Brandon Macier, coordinator of marketing for housing, said this was the first time the university tried to simulate an event like ice skating indoors. “We just try to go above and beyond with bringing entertainment,” Macier said. “Not just your standard fair, but we really try to bring different things that students haven’t seen before.” However, the skating rink was not the end of the entertainment brought to East Campus.
Along with games and prize drawings, there was also a green screen, which allowed students to take pictures encompassing the event’s wintery theme. The images that appeared on the green screen were not all created by Entertainment Avenue; an SIU student submitted designs for the company to use. Rebecca Michelson, a senior from Millersville studying communication design, works in University Housing and helped Macier come up with four backgrounds for the photos. “We wanted to get a visual sense of what we wanted them to see and then repeat that throughout all the different items,” she said. Michelson said she designed the backdrops, then emailed them to Entertainment Avenue, which then provided its employees with the images. Michelson said she was excited her designs added to fun, frozen theme. In an email, Schuch said other students who want to participate in planning for events like Frozen Fun can meet at 5:30 or 7:30 p.m. Monday in Lower Level Grinnell with the National Residence Hall Honorary or the Residence Hall Association, respectively. The Black Togetherness Organization also helps plan the events at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday in the same location.

Oscar review part two Jacob Pierce
@JacobPierce1 | Daily Egyptian
Common moviegoers who typically do not understand the process of sound or film editing constantly overlook the mechanics of a film. Many barely understand the duties of a director. Though not as well known, films would not be the same without excellent technicians in these fields. Here is my review of some select 2014 Oscar nominees for technical aspects. Best Picture: “Birdman,” “Boyhood,” “American Sniper,” “The Imitation Game,” “Selma,” “The Theory of Everything,” “Whiplash,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel” Best Picture is continually an area of controversy for the awards, as the academy often snubs certain films. While most of 2014’s premier movies made the list, David Fincher has once again been overlooked. Replacing his newest psychological thriller “Gone Girl,” is Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper.” While not a complete failure of a film, it does not compare to “Gone Girl,” or even any of the other nominees. Directing: Alejandro G.Inarritu for “Birdman,” Richard Linklater for “Boyhood,” Bennett Miller for “Foxcatcher,” Wes Anderson for “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” Morten Tyldum for “The Imitation Game” The directing category has been caught in controversy for excluding “Selma.” While the movie was looked over in many areas, the directing in particular points out a possible flaw with the nomination system. Critics and entertainers have complained the academy is made up of “old white guys,” accusing it of white washing and nominating only Caucasian entertainers. Aside from “Selma” being snubbed, the group is solid. Animated Feature Film: “Big Hero 6,” “The Boxtrolls,” “How to Train a Dragon 2,” “Song of the Sea,” “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya”
Trends were a big part of 2014. If you look at the year’s film list, superheroes and remakes were just some in fashion. The trend for Oscar nominations was snubbing quality movies. “The Lego Movie” being left out of this category is a travesty. The film was not only the most unique animated picture of the year, but possibly the most creative in the last ten years. It rivaled all of the recent great Disney Pixar movies. “Big Hero 6,” and “ The Boxtrolls,” are minor league players in comparison to “The Lego Movie.”
Original Screenplay: “Birdman” written by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, Jr. and Armando Bo, “Boyhood” written by Richard Linklater, “Foxcatcher” written by E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” written by Wes Anderson, “Nightcrawler” written by Dan Gilroy Original Screenplay has a specific connotation; a common
opinion says when a movie wins, either for original or adapted screenplay, it is the true best movie of the year. With a lineup so strong, it is hard to argue. It seems the academy chose all the most creative films from the Best Picture nominees and added the missing unique movies, two of which being “Foxcatcher” and “Nightcrawler.” Both have good chances of winning Original Screenplay. Visual Effects: “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” visual effects by Dan DeLeeuw, Russell Earl, Bryan Grill and Dan Sudick ; “Dawn of the Planet Apes,” visual effects by Joe Letteri, Dan Lemmon, Daniel Barrett and Erik Winquist; “Guardians of the Galaxy,” visual effects by Stephane Ceretti, Nicolas Aithadi, Jonathan Fawkner and Paul Corbould; “Interstellar,” visual effects by Paul Franklin, Andrew Lockley, Ian Hunter and Scott Fisher; “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” visual effects by Richard Stammers, Lou Pecora, Tim Crosbie and Cameron Waldbauer In an age of mind-blowing computer technicians working in film, how can one pick a winner for best visual effects? All of these movies are visually stunning. While none are what purists would consider Oscar worthy, all of them are favorites among critics and fans alike. “Guardians of the Galaxy” in particular is impressive for having two main characters be completely motion capture. “Interstellar” also managed to portray space in a bold new way in a day and age where space has been overdone. On first glance, the list for 2014’s Oscar nominees is a failure. While each year has its significant exclusions, very few years have had snubs of this magnitude. At the same time, a lot of impressive films were nominated. It was a solid representation of the year in film. A lot of substandard pictures were released, but uniqueness was the name of the game for the unconventional film scene.

Former SIU coach excels at small college Sean Phee
@seanpheeDE | Daily Egyptian
After more than 50 years of coaching basketball and 900 wins at the high school and college levels combined, former Saluki basketball coach Rich Herrin said he still has fun coaching every night. Herrin retired from coaching in 2007, but decided to come out of retirement in 2012 and become the first basketball coach for the Patriots of Morthland College, a small Christian college in West Frankfort that opened in 2011. Herrin is 81 years old and has been coaching more than half of his life. Morthland’s initial enrollment was only forty students, but it has continued to grow every year; so has the basketball team’s success. After having only seven wins during his first season, Herrin quickly made Morthland a force to be reckoned with. The team posted a 17-9 record last season in the program’s second year of existence. Herrin said Morthland has continued its success this season and has earned a reputation as a high scoring team by emphasizing a fastpaced less restrictive offense. “We average 81 points a game,” Herrin said. “I just let the team play.” Before Morthland, Herrin coached the Salukis from 1985 to 1998. He coached them to three straight NCAA tournaments from 1993 to 1995 and four appearances in the National Invitation Tournament. Herrin said winning the three Missouri Valley Conference championships to get into the NCAA tournament were his greatest memories at SIU. Before his time in Carbondale, Herrin was a successful high school coach at Okawville High School and Benton High School. At Benton he coached former NBA All-Star and coach, Doug Collins. Other former NBA players coached by Herrin include former Salukis Chris Carr, who played for eight years, and Troy Hudson, who played for 10 years. “I’ve had outstanding individuals as players, so I’ve been very lucky as a coach,” Herrin said. Morthland shooting guard Dylan Burmester said luck has nothing to do with Herrin’s success. “Being coached by Rich Herrin is a great privilege,” he said. “I believe that he can make anybody who loves the game a better player on and off the court.” Herrin’s players said he emphasizes education above all else. Junior shooting guard Matt Weeks said Herrin is crazy about basketball, but teaches his players about life as well. “It is more about succeeding in life with him and not just in basketball,” Weeks said. A West Frankfort native, Matt Weeks is not only a player, but also an assistant coach. He said he could not pass up an opportunity to coach with Herrin, whom he considers to be a coaching legend. “I felt like this was a huge opportunity for our town and the area,” Weeks said. “Rich Herrin being a part of anything makes me want to be a part of it.” Morthland has a 9-7 record this season and plays Friday at the St. Louis Concordia Shootout.

SIU boasts after Bradley win Aaron Graff
@AaronGraff_DE | Daily Egyptian
Men’s basketball coach Barry Hinson surpassed former SIU coach Rich Herrin in wins in Missouri Valley Conference games with his latest. SIU (9-11, 2-5) defeated the Bradley Braves (6-14, 1-6) 70-59 for its second consecutive MVC win. Hinson is fifth in the MVC with a 112-93 record all-time. “I never have been nor will I be a trophy guy, but I will say this: I love this conference,” Hinson said. “I love that I’m apart of it and I got to achieve something [Wednesday] because of a lot of great players over the last 12 years.” The Salukis led the Braves 34-33 at half. No team had more than a 4-point lead in the first half. Both teams combined for 11 threepointers in the half. Both teams had a better three-point shooting percentage than a field goal percentage in the half. “Everyone is wondering why our three-point shooting was so good,” Hinson said. “I called [New England Patriots coach Bill] Belichick [Wednesday] and said, ‘Hey, what do you think, should we deflate the balls?’ … I did not call Belichick, that is a joke.” The Braves took a 43-39 lead in the second half, before SIU went on a 10-0 run and cruised to the victory. SIU lost to the Braves 63-44 on Jan. 3, but the Saluki offense was not as quiet this time around. The Salukis

matched the 44 points with more than 13:30 to play. Junior guard Anthony Beane led all scorers with 16 points. He also led the team with 6 rebounds. “Coach said it’s going to be one of those games where the guards have to get to the ball,” Beane said.
Sophomore guard Tyler Smithpeters followed with 12 points. Smithpeters made his first start since Dec. 31 against Missouri State. Hinson said the team overall did not have a good practice before the game, but Smithpeters had two good practices. Braves’ junior guard Tramique
Sutherland led his team with 13 points. Bradley had three players in double figures. Junior guard Ka’Darryl Bell and freshman forward Josh Cunningham both had 10 points. The Salukis play the Evansville Purple Aces (14-5, 4-3) at 3 p.m. Saturday at Ford Center in Evansville, Ind.
Salukis support cancer awareness with Pink Out Brent Meske
@brentmeskeDE | Daily Egyptian
Both the Saluki men’s and women’s basketball teams are raising money for breast cancer awareness. Fans can bid on jerseys and the highest bidders will be able to pick the name they want on the back of a player’s jersey. The players will wear the jerseys in the games and then present them to the highest bidders after the game. The money raised will go to Southern Illinois Healthcare’s Hope Is Home cancer center. As of Jan. 21, all the women’s jerseys and 12 of the 14 men’s jerseys have been bid on. Bids can be placed at www.salukisgopink.com. Marketing graduate assistant Nicole
Sack said she expects more bidding by the end of the fundraiser. “As with any auction, the closer it gets to the end the hotter it gets,” Sack said. “We anticipate it to be really successful this year… and it looks good so far.” Bidding for women’s jerseys ends at 8 p.m. on Friday and the bidding for the men’s jerseys ends at 8 p.m. Jan. 30. Freshman forward Celina VanHyfte said the game will mean more to her because her aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer twice. She said playing in front of a full stadium is something she has not been able to experience yet as a Saluki. “It’s a great feeling that I’ll get to go out there and show them that the whole
school is out there rooting for them,” she said. “I’m also out there supporting them, and I want them to succeed in life.” Sack said most athletes ask about the name on the back of their jersey. Women’s senior guard Mercedes Griffin said playing for someone else is an honor. “You have someone’s name on the back of your jersey that has probably suffered from breast cancer,” she said. “You fight for them and can feel them looking down on you.” Women’s coach Cindy Stein said the more people who show up for the game, the better the players want to perform. She said the game drew a bigger crowd last year and the players took notice.
Although the team will likely play in front of more fans than normal, Stein said the team will be prepared. She said games against Illinois and Murray State this season have built the team’s confidence to play in front of a large crowd. “Any time we’re at home and there’s a good crowd, they feel the energy in the building,” she said. “A game like that, the energy is double because everyone is there for a reason so it brings a great spirit.” The women’s team plays its Pink Out game at 12:05 p.m. Feb. 1 at SIU Arena against the Bradley Braves. The men’s team plays its Pink Out game at 1 p.m. Feb. 7 at SIU Arena against the Illinois State Redbirds.
also averaged 17.0 points a game last year at Lake Land College in Mattoon and earned an All-American nod. She was Lake Land’s team MVP both seasons she played there. Stephenson said the reduction in floor time from last year to now does not bother her because she has a team-first mindset. “It’s just about doing whatever I have to do to help get the win,” Stephenson said. “That’s all that matters to me. I always want to play a decent amount of minutes, but whenever I get my chance in a game, I’ve got to take advantage of it.” Coach Cindy Stein said Stephenson has handled the drop off in playing time well. “I think she’s been a phenomenal team player,” Stein said. “She’s always into the
game mentally. There’s no complaints there. She’s always ready to go.” Stephenson said she knew she wanted to play for SIU, but never thought she would actually become a Saluki. She fell in love with SIU while attending team camp in the summer of 2010, just before the start of her senior year at Cardinal Ritter High School in St. Louis. Stephenson noticed the Saluki familyfeeling and wanted to be part of it. It was in her freshman year at Lake Land that Stephenson first caught Stein’s eye. Stephenson’s Lakers faced Illinois Central College in Stein’s only year there as coach. Stein said Stephenson left an impression on her. “She had a phenomenal defensive game and did a lot of really good things
offensively,” Stein said. “So that led to us recruiting her in her sophomore year.” Stephenson’s reputation was noticed before she came to Carbondale. Junior guard Cartaesha Macklin said the Salukis knew all about Stephenson before she joined the team. “We knew everything about her,” she said. “We were excited. Anybody that’s coming in with competition always makes the team better.” Stephenson has had to adjust to faster, stronger opponents. Stein said she is impressed with how Stephenson has handled that task. “She’s catching up with the speed and the physicality of the game,” Stein said. “She had it, but when you’re not getting the minutes or the reps early, there’s an adjustment in each game.”
All-American moves up to smaller role Thomas Donley
@tdonleyDE | Daily Egyptian
Weeks of patience are starting to pay off for transfer junior guard Blair Stephenson. The former NJCAA Division II All-American made her first career NCAA start Sunday against Evansville because sophomore starting point guard Rishonda Napier suffered a shoulder injury against Indiana State on Jan. 16. Stephenson provided mixed results, scoring a career-high 12 points, but also recording 5 turnovers and 2 assists. She played 25 minutes in Sunday’s game, 15 more minutes more than her season average. Stephenson ranked 10th in the country, at the NJCAA level, averaging 6.2 assists a game as a sophomore. She
