Under a curtain of darkness Monday morning, four SIUC stu-dents took part in an underground movement to draw attention to hu-man rights violations — but their e� orts would largely go unnoticed.

Across campus, the students hung � iers that said, “Every hu-man has rights” and posters of the “Vietnam Napalm Girl” image by Eddie Adams, an award-winning war photographer.

But by noon Tuesday, only one of hundreds of the posters was le� hanging.

� e students’ demonstration was part of a class project for MCMA 204, Alternative Media and Diverse Cultures, taught by Wendy Weinhold, a doctoral stu-dent in mass communication and media arts.

� e project began with stu-dents picking a social issue they felt strongly about and then � nd-ing a way to publicly address it by using alternative media, Weinhold said.

SIU President Glenn Poshard presented the best, worst and most likely budget scenarios for � scal year 2011 to members of the faculty and sta� Monday.

In the most likely scenario, Poshard told a crowd of about 75 there is a strong potential for mod-erate layo� s and furloughs during his presentation at the Student Cen-ter Auditorium.

It also included borrowing au-thority and no rescission from the � scal year 2010 budget. Gov. Pat Quinn’s proposed budget decreases appropriations from $236 million to $219 million in � scal year 2011.

Poshard said he hopes to make up that de� cit by asking legislators to restore the $87 million cut from

higher education because of the loss of federal stimulus money. He said the $87 million could come from the $500 million the state is saving from its pension reform.

“It’s a big variable, but we’re hopeful about getting some of that money,” Poshard said. “At this point I don’t know if anyone has actually made a pitch for it other than us, but it is something all the universities will be working on.”

� e best-case scenario would result in no furloughs or layo� s, but a tax increase would need to pass, which Poshard said was highly unlikely. � e worst-case scenario would mean signi� cant layo� s and furloughs, but that would require the defeat of the borrowing bill, which Poshard said was also un-likely.

With the � scal year set to begin

July 1, Poshard said the borrowing bill is becoming more of a necessity than a safety net. � e university will know how much borrowing could cost by the end of the month. A� er credit rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor downgraded Il-linois’ credit standing, Poshard said the university’s P1 rating is in jeop-ardy. � e P1 rating would allow the university to borrow $100 million for roughly $1 million, Poshard said.

If the university was downgraded to a P2 rating, it could cost three times as much to borrow. Duane Stucky, vice president for � nancial and administrative a� airs, will meet with representatives from Standard & Poor at the end of the month to de-termine the university’s bond rating.

Even with the borrowing au-thority, Poshard said furloughs and layo� s would be likely and guar-anteed the administrative o£ ce would share the burden with the

rest of the university. He said the administrative ranks have already cut a $150,000 lobbying position in Washington and decreased an assistant’s salary from $96,000 to $60,000.

“Whatever pain this university experiences will be felt at every lev-el. We are not going to exempt the administration from this,” Poshard said.

Whatever � nal decision is passed down, Poshard said it would be solely in the hands of incoming Chancellor Rita Cheng. Cheng, who made another visit to campus this week, said she is getting more com-fortable with each visit and has been involved in the budget forming pro-cess since day one.

“I just am trying to absorb as much as I can before I start full time,” Cheng said. “I’m learning quite a bit about the institution through the numbers and am very

involved in the budget decisions for next year. Next year will be here before I know it, so I need to know what’s going on right now.”

Poshard said it is still di£ cult to pin down speci� cs because the Leg-islature has yet to form a budget. He said he hopes to see a resemblance of a budget by the General Assem-bly’s May 15 adjournment date.

� ere is a possibility of a six-month budget, but it would be enough to get an idea of what the university can expect, Poshard said.

“� ey need to � nd a way to deal with this, but the courage to deal with this just isn’t there yet,” he said.

A student in Wendy Weinhold’s MCMA 204 class holds up a human rights flier after hanging copies of it all over campus Monday morning. The group posted fliers and posters as part of a class project on social issues. The students were to choose a social issue that they felt strongly about, discover what mainstream media has done to inform the public about

it and find a way to use alternative media to further inform the public about what the mainstream media has left out, Weinhold said. SIUC maintenance staff removed more than 90 percent of the posters the same day. “Someone denied everyone an opportunity to learn about human rights when they tore those posters down,” Weinhold said.

CHICAGO — Illinois Demo-crat Alexi Giannoulias said Monday his � rst-quarter fundraising in a state where Democrats hold every state-wide o� ce didn’t match the money raised by Republican Mark Kirk in their race for President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Giannoulias’ campaign did not

disclose the actual amount he raised but said it was not as much as Kirk, a � ve-time congressman who said last week that he raised $2.2 million in the � rst quarter of 2010. Still, Gi-annoulias said his campaign posted its best fundraising quarter yet, rak-ing in more than the $1.1 million raised during the � rst quarter of last year aµ er he announced he was ex-ploring a Senate run.

Both candidates’ federal fundrais-

ing reports are due � ursday.Giannoulias, a � rst-term state

treasurer who is trying to hold on to the Senate seat for Democrats, said he wasn’t troubled that his campaign failed to match Kirk’s � rst-quarter results.

“Making a pledge not to take money from federal lobbyists and corporate PACs, I can tell you, makes things tougher. � at’s the reality of it,” Giannoulias said.

A selection committee has chosen Ruth Anne Rehfeldt to be the new director of the Cen-ter for Autism Spectrum Disorders, said Kenneth Teitelbaum, dean of the College of Education and Human Services.

Rehfeldt, a professor in the Rehabilitation Institute, will replace Anthony Cuvo, one of the founders of the SIUC Center for Autism Spec-trum Disorders, which opened in 2000.

Her work will enhance the research pro� le of the autism center, Teitelbaum said.

Cuvo, Rehfeldt and John Bensho� , interim director of the Rehabilitation Institute, declined to comment. Bensho� has been contacted since April 2 to discuss the position, while Rehfeldt was contacted Monday and said she was advised not to comment without including Bensho� .

Teitelbaum said Rehfeldt’s research history and accomplishments within the center made her a perfect � t for the position.

� e selection committee consisted of mem-bers within the academic unit of the Rehabilita-tion Institute, Teitelbaum said.

It is unclear who those people were and who else was considered for the position.

Rehfeldt has served as professor for 10 years

in the rehabilitation services undergraduate pro-gram, where she specialized in the behavior anal-ysis and therapy program.

Since 2000, Rehfeldt has contributed an in-credible amount of research, Teitelbaum said.

Rehfeldt has been awarded the Rehabilitation

Institute Teacher of the Year several times and was the Teacher of the Year for the College of Educa-tion and Human Services in 2006, according to the behavior analysis and therapy Web site.

“Rehfeldt is an accomplished faculty member and proli� c researcher,” Teitelbaum said. “She has

the capability to bring these services o� campus. It will be tremendously helpful to the community.”

“They have absolutely accomplished the goals of this project,” she said. “Some-times these projects mean putting your bodies, minds and ideas on the line.”

The students said they chose human rights violations as their issue because the topic is relevant in today’s global society.

Human rights can vary in degree, ranging from the right to have food, wa-ter and security to the right to love and share information, Weinhold said.

In a way, the students’ rights to com-municate their ideas were violated once their posters were removed, she said.

The students said their focus was based on the right to live.

Acts of violence, such as the Holo-caust, the Vietnam War and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, Africa, have not been eliminated with the passing of his-tory — such violations persist, the stu-dents said.

“For decades now there have been

horrible crimes against humanity, and we think it’s time for these to stop,” one of the students said.

The overall project took about two hours to complete, with fliers spread from the walkway bridge over U.S. High-way 51 to Faner Hall, and posted on every door at Lawson Hall.

However, maintenance crews, who check campus daily for fliers not located on a designated area, removed the post-ers before most students arrived on cam-pus Tuesday morning, said David Tippy, assistant superintendent of the grounds department.

The students said they knew the post-ers wouldn’t stand for long but hoped they would be up long enough to get people talking.

“It didn’t take Martin Luther King or Gandhi one march, speech or some kind of movement to get their point across,” one of the students said.

Kaleb Wilson has had a passion for it since he was a child.

Wilson, the cellar master of Blue Sky Vineyards, oversees all the wine-making at the vineyard and dedicates his year to developing the best wine possible.

While the winter is slow, Wilson is preparing for the busy season and bottling wine. In the vineyard’s cellar sit 50 barrels stacked three rows high. Each 60-gallon barrel holds 360 bottles of wine, producing 18,000 bottles in all, he said.

Wilson spends much of the harvest season to making sure the grapes make the perfect wine. � ey test the sugar content, acidity levels and pH levels.

“We don’t just go out there, taste it and say, ‘Oh, that’s nice’ and start pick-ing,” Wilson said.

Opening a winery is a tough task and can be a huge time commitment.

But when one loves wine as much as Sylvia Presswood and her husband, it gets a lot easier.

“My husband likes to stay home, so he’s happy as a clam,” Presswood said. “He loves his wine, and he loves his vineyard.”

� e Presswoods have lived on the same property since 1979 and started growing grapes 10 years ago. Living on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, they had to decide if they would continue to just grow grapes or open their own winery.

� ey took the leap and opened Hickory Ridge Vineyards for business. However, Presswood said they like to be low-key and do not advertise much. She said people try their wine, tell their friends and keep coming back, which is good enough for them.

She is not afraid, however, to ad-vertise for wineries along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, which consists of 12 wineries and approximately 300 acres of grapes. Instead of competing, Press-wood said the local winemakers feel like colleagues and support each other.

“We know what each other of-fers,” Presswood said. “If someone asks where a good place to eat is, I say, ‘Well, you have to go to Hedman’s be-cause they’ve got really good food.”

Sara Roux, sous chef for Hedman Vineyards, appreciates the publicity.

Hedman, similar to Hickory Ridge, is a smaller winery, Roux said.

“One thing people say that they like about our bed and breakfast is it’s a little more intimate because you do get to know the owners very well,” Roux said.

� e trail sports 14 di� erent bed and breakfast locations. � ere are also oth-er non-wine tasting activities, includ-ing golf courses and campgrounds.

But for those looking to taste di� er-ent wines, Roux said southern Illinois wineries o� er a wide variety of palettes and new grapes. She said many people who visit from Chicago have never heard of Traminette grapes, a primary grape in the region.

“People wouldn’t think of southern Illinois of having any large wine trails, but it’s not as sophisticated as if you wanted to go to Napa,” Roux said. “It’s more of a laid-back sophistication.”

Roux said, along with the sophis-tication, visitors will experience the passion local winemakers have with their wine and the care they give to

their grapes.“If you do it down here, it’s going to

be more of a passion, and you’re really going to want a good product out of it,” Roux said.

Wilson said southern Illinois wine is special because it produces a unique taste one cannot get anywhere else in

the world.“You’re not just tasting the wine,”

Wilson said. “You’re tasting the ground, the soil, the terroir. It’s special.”

Philip Howze said faculty members begged him to set up a meeting with SIU President Glenn Poshard to answer questions about next year’s budget.

� at is why he le¬ Monday’s meeting with Poshard disappoint-ed when only three questions were directed at the president a¬ er his hour-long presentation about 2011 ® scal year budget.

Howze and the Faculty Senate welcomed more than 75 faculty members to the Student Center Auditorium Monday as Poshard presented possible budget scenar-ios for the 2011 ® scal year.

Howze, president of the Faculty Senate, said it is necessary to hold these meetings so the faculty is not misinformed.

“I think because the tendency

toward rumor is so quick to happen that it is necessary for the president to periodically hold something and let everybody know the story, with-out all the hearsay,” he said.

Faculty members said a¬ er-ward they thought the presenta-tion thoroughly answered their questions about the budget in the next ® scal year.

Charles Leonard, a visiting professor at the Paul Simon Pub-lic Policy Institute, said most of Poshard’s information was ex-plained during a meeting last se-mester. He said the presentation was straightforward and captured all the possible budget problems facing the university.

“A lot of us have had to have seen this coming, at least if we had been reading the news,” he said. “It makes it more real, though, to have him standing up there and show us on the slide (show) that layo� s and

furloughs are a possibility.”Leonard said the presentation

brought a sense of urgency to the budget concerns.

Steve Belletire, a professor in industrial design, said the presen-tation was thorough and served as the ® rst step to get the faculty to-gether for the cause.

“Us as a faculty should pull together as an institute, and the presentation is a good start in that direction,” Belletire said. “� e fac-ulty wants to do what’s best for this university.”

Mary Lamb, a professor in the English department and secretary of the Faculty Senate, was one of the three faculty members to ask a question. She asked Poshard what the administration is doing to de-crease it’s own costs to help take some o� the pressure o� the faculty.

Poshard said the administra-tion has already made several bud-

get cuts, including the elimination of a lobbyist position in Washing-ton and an o± ce in Edwardsville.

“Whatever pain this university experiences will be felt at every lev-el,” he said. “We are not going to ex-empt the administration from this.”

Howze said he thought faculty members would have expressed more concerns about the budget during the meeting.

“I thought there would be more discussion, especially of the, ‘Well, it kinda sounds i� y if I can get paid. Can you tell me if I should go out and buy that new SUV?’” he said.

Howze said he has changed his

own spending habits in prepara-tions for any changes in university payment.

“We’re not looking to make any big purchases; we just don’t know if we’re going to get paid month to month,” he said. “And I still don’t know. But Poshard said there is a plan … but there is nothing in these plans that says if you have tenure then you are exempt. I’m treating each one of these days here like it’s my last.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

GUEST COLUMN

We use our voices every day, all day — at work, with family and friends, to share our emotions and feelings. We rely on our voices to communicate and connect with everyone around us, but how o� en do we show our voices how much we love and appreciate all they do?

In honor of World Voice Day Friday, the Communication Dis-orders and Sciences Program of the Rehabilitation Institute at Southern Illinois University Car-bondale reminds people to use three little words “I love you” and protect your voice by proactively keeping it healthy.

The theme for the 2010 cele-bration of World Voice Day, “Love Your Voice,” reminds us of the emotional power of the human voice and the many feelings it can elicit. It also should remind us that our own voice requires care to keep it healthy.

World Voice Day creates the opportunity for people around the world to say ‘thank you,’ ‘I love you,’ and ‘I care for you’ to our voices, which are so vital to our daily existence. It is like Val-entine’s Day for our voice!

According to a 2009 survey by the American Academy of Otolar-yngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), many Americans already know some key steps to keeping their voices healthy. More than 90 percent of people polled ranked the following steps as im-portant to vocal health: not smok-ing, paying attention to hoarseness in your voice, breathing appropri-ately and drinking plenty of water.

But translating knowing how to take care of your voice to actu-ally doing it often takes a loving reminder.

World Voice Day gives vocal health experts an opportunity to bring renewed awareness about vocal health to the general pub-lic and to professionals who have built careers around their voices.

As the Rehabilitation Insti-tute’s CDS Program celebrates the eighth year of the World Voice Day observance, we offer the community a top-10 list for ways to love your voice:

Embrace hydration — Mois-ture is good for your voice, and drinking plenty of water through-out the day is the best way to stay hydrated.

Kiss but don’t yell — Yelling or screaming is always bad for the voice as it puts a lot of stress on the delicate lining of your vocal cords.

Hug a microphone when speaking in public — When you are called upon for public speak-ing, particularly in a large room or outdoors, use a microphone. The amplification allows you to speak at conversational volume, yet reach the entire audience.

Warm up your voice by saying

a few sweet nothings — Warming up the voice is not just for sing-ers; it helps the speaking voice, too. Doing simple things like lip or tongue trills, or gliding up and down your range on different vowels will help warm up your voice.

Always clear the air, but don’t clear your throat — Clearing your throat is like slapping or slam-ming the vocal cords together. In-stead of clearing your throat, take a small sip of water or swallow to quench the urge.

Go ahead and look hot, but never smoke — Likely the single worst thing you can do for your voice is smoke. It causes perma-nent damage to the vocal cord tis-sues and is the No. 1 risk factor for cancer of the larynx (voice box).

Know what you’re feeling — When you are in a place with loud

background noise, you don’t real-ize how loudly you may be talk-ing. Pay attention to how your throat feels in these situations because it will often feel raw or ir-ritated before you notice the vocal strain you are causing.

Think good breath support, not just heavy breathing — Breath flow is the power source for voice. Don’t let your breath support run down before refilling your lungs and refueling your voice.

Be a good listener — If you hear your voice becoming hoarse when you are sick, be sure to rest it as much as possible. Pushing the voice when you have laryngi-tis can lead to more serious vocal problems.

Check it out — If your voice is persistently hoarse, be sure to seek evaluation by an otolaryngologist.

Dear Editor:This is in response to Mr. Desper’s let-

ter to the editor Monday. He implies that he, first of all, knows

more about abuse than a victim of abuse, which is absurd. He should realize he may not know everything.

He also states that alcohol is a drug and by that I am sure he means a recreational one. Well, recreational drugs are all ad-dictive. When someone is truly addicted to something they will go to any means to obtain it, which can include committing some serious crimes along the way.

If an alcoholic is that addicted to alco-hol then he will still get it no matter what. This would include driving to a liquor store along with the grocery store. If the person is going to drink and abuse some-one or make bad decisions, then moving the location of the addictive substance will not alter the amount they purchase.

It will merely increase the likelihood that they will take their kids to a liquor store to buy it instead of a grocery store!

Dear Editor:Many students on campus have

recently become angry over the hottest political topic: the death of SIUC’s ¶ nances. � e cause of death is uncertain, with symptoms pointing to many possible failures. Some cite a mismanagement of the internal budget; others, the national and global

economic crisis — and as they debate over the autopsy, we must not miss our opportunity for practical action.

On April 22, the university and Undergraduate Student Government will send buses of students to Spring-¶ eld on a Lobby Day ¶ eld trip. It is imperative that SIUC sends as many students as are willing to go. When

the legislators were discussing MAP Grant funding, SIUC sent eight bus-es full of students to face o� with the legislators. � e university sent more students than any other university, and the legislators acted.

We know that the legislators do not want to face a large student body again. So sign up to go. Contact stu-dent president Priciliano Fabian on the third � oor of the Student Center

and say, “Hey, save me a seat on the bus. I’m going to Spring¶ eld to save the university.”

Yes, it is the end of the semester and you are busy, but remember ev-eryone in the same boat: professors, graduate assistants, teacher assis-tants, service workers and students. Ask your professors and instructors for an excused absence April 22. You will ¶ nd many of them sympathetic

to your actions and motivations, typ-ically willing to ignore the guidelines of a syllabus for the common cause.

Get on the bus. Go to Spring¶ eld. Know that you were there. Know that you helped save your university.

Power to the people.

Dear Editor:There are around 27 million modern-day

slaves across the world today, forcefully in-volved in sex trafficking, forced labor and child soldiering. That is more than the total num-ber of slaves trafficked in four centuries of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Today, there are students all over campus wearing bright green shirts that say “SLAVE” in order to raise aware-ness of this injustice. Each shirt you see visually represents about 325,000 victims of human traf-ficking (slaves).

This project is just one of many things that will take place on campus this week as a part

of Justice Week, a campaign to raise awareness about human trafficking and spur action spon-sored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. We challenge you to join the fight and check out some of the events we are doing this week to educate and equip people with the knowledge necessary to bring an end to human trafficking.

Desmond Tutu summarized the situation well when he said, “If you are neutral in situa-tions of injustice, then you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” Which side will you choose?

Amy Myers, a freshman from Athens studying cinema and photography, DJ’s an hour-long block of ‘60’s music Monday at WIDB. Monday marked the station’s 40th anniversary.

FBI’s tapes of Blago at issue in corruption case

CHICAGO — Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s brother’s attorney said Monday that all of the FBI’s tapes of the ousted governor talking on the telephone should be kept sealed or else all of them should be released so the

public can hear them in their entirety.Michael Ettinger, attorney for busi-

nessman Robert Blagojevich, told U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel in court papers that prosecutors will be able to paint a one-sided picture of the defense if they’re allowed to pick and choose which tapes or portions of tapes get released.

Both have pleaded not guilty and

deny any wrongdoing.Zagel is deciding how much of a

sealed document outlining the govern-ment’s corruption case should be made public and how much should remain under seal.

According to Ettinger’s brief, the sealed document quotes from the FBI tapes.

Title: “Yakuza 3”ESRB Rating: M (17+)Developer: CS1 Team

Publisher: SegaPlatform: Playstation 3

It’s been a long wait but “Yakuza 3” is � nal-ly available to an English speaking audience.

“Yakuza 3” was released in Japan 13 months ago, and many felt it would remain there. � e game relied heavily on Japanese culture to tell its narrative and publisher Sega felt the title would not sell well in a western market.

More than a year of fan complaints later, “Yakuza 3” has reached the United States. It still relies heavily on Japanese culture, but that does not overshadow the fact that “Yakuza 3” is a quality title.

“Yakuza 3” follows Kazuma Kiryu, who is the main character of the franchise. He is trying to live a quiet life while running an orphanage, but eventually a small Okinawan yakuza clan kicks Kazuma and the kids out of the orphanage. Eventually, he is drawn

back into the yakuza lifestyle that he was try-ing so hard to escape.

It starts slowly, but “Yakuza 3” continues the series tradition of maintaining a strong plot. The story is shown through stylish cinemas and impressive writing. It is clear that much work was put into telling the story, which makes it a shame we are just now getting it.

Unfortunately for some, the game only uses Japanese voice acting. So, if the player dislikes subtitles, this game will not do any-thing for them. � e decision to keep the original Japanese voice crew was wise be-cause it helps create the game’s atmosphere. An important part of the story telling is that it feels like the player is in Japan.

It is also recommended the player go into the experience knowing a little about Japa-nese culture. Some bits about it were cut out because the material was already so dense. � ese would be hostess clubs, or a clubs that pay women to have conversations with pa-trons. It is not a huge loss that these got cut out, but it speaks to how dense the game is with Japanese culture.

� e gameplay is strong. � e � ghting can be a bit mash happy and tedious at times, with thugs from the street occasionally pes-

tering the player when they are wandering around. Even though it gets annoying, the � ghting system is still fun. It feels like they were trying to jam as many � ghts down the player’s throats as possible early on, which was bothersome.

� e game makes up for it with a wide se-lection of mini-games. Mini-games include various arcade games as well as bowling and golf. It is easy to get lost in the side games and delay completing the main storyline. � is is a strength more games should use.

In a way, putting the main objective on the backburner while the fun side missions intrigued the player may remind some of the Dreamcast classic “Shenmue.” While “Yakuza 3” has no relation to the “Shen-mue” franchise, it can be seen as a similar source of entertainment for series fans. This is a good thing, given that we may never see a “Shenmue 3.”

� e main problem with “Yakuza 3” is the same problem in many sequels: it is just too similar to the past titles. “Yakuza 2,” which also saw a lengthy delay between Japanese and American releases, is very similar to the third game. While beautiful graphics and an interesting, engaging story help make this a worthy purchase, not much has changed

since the second title.� e game is very unique, and very hard

to replicate the experience. While it is simi-lar to its prequel, there are not many games like “Yakuza” out there, so it’s not grating. Players looking for a di£ erent game experi-ence need to check out this title.

Santonio Holmes, who was acquired by the New York Jets Sunday for a fifth-round draft pick, was suspended for the first four games of the season Monday for a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. Who wins this trade?

Saluki Insider

Holmes has had some personal problems in the past but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he is a great wide receiver, as evident in his game-winning Super Bowl XLIII catch and MVP selection. For a fifth-round pick, missing four games is worth his abilities. Chalk this up as a victory for the J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS!!!

Rex Ryan and the Jets are now officially the schoolyard bully in the AFC, if not the entire NFL. I don’t know how they managed to get Holmes for merely a fifth-round pick, but it leads me to believe Ryan’s stomach had some say in the negotiations.

It was a great move by the Jets because it was just worth a fifth-round pick. Holmes is a very good receiver and if the Jets plan on overtaking the Patriots, they needed to make a move like this. Mark “Sanchise” Sanchez will not face a sophomore slump with the addition of Holmes as well as LT. Jets just became the favorite in the East.

Spring schedule starts strong

James helped thwart Reid’s at-tempts and was asked by the cap-tain of the plane to hold Reid in place until the plane landed in Boston, its new destination, which was still four hours away.

James complied and Reid was swi� ly taken o� the plane upon landing. For his bravery, James was the 2002 recipient of the MVC Most Courageous Award.

Any physical harm had been avoided but, according to Wert-heim, the events onboard ¡ ight 63

forced James to walk away from his passion — basketball.

� e emotional a� ere� ects of the would-be terrorist attack in-stilled a sense of paranoia in James whenever he took the court with his French professional basketball team, AS Bondy. About a month a� er the incident, James turned in his uniform and ¡ ew back to Evansville to be with his girlfriend, Jill Clements, who he met at EU.

He was not a legal U.S. citizen and was living in America under a temporary visa, but James was un-der the impression that he would testify against Reid in exchange for

a worker’s permit to remain in the States.

Reid, however, pleaded guilty to eight charges against him and a trial was never held. In response to James’ situation, Wertheim re-ported that the Immigration and Naturalization Service denied any prior arrangements with James and informed him that he would not be receiving such a permit.

By mid-2003, James was subject to deportation.

With the possibility of getting deported all too real, James and Clements married in the summer of 2003 — � lling a loophole and

making him eligible for full citi-zenship three years later.

Having never lost his passion for basketball, James played for a short period with the Gary Steel-heads and Brooklyn Kings — mi-nor league organizations of the United States Basketball League — and a one-year stint with France’s B-league B.C. Longwy-Rehon in 2004, according to Werthiem, where he averaged 20 points per game before o© cially retiring from basketball.

According to a report by � e Associated Press released Saturday, James — now 32 years old — was

sworn in as an o© cial U.S. citizen � ursday in a ceremony held in Atlanta, where he now works at an Information Technology sta© ng � rm.

Now I am not claiming to be any breed of mathematician, but a timespan between 2003 and 2010 doesn’t quite equate to three years.

Nevertheless, an American hero can � nally refer to himself as just that. An American.

And not a moment too soon.

BANTER

Outfielder Katie Wilson slides into third base in the bottom of the fourth inning Saturday at Charlotte West Stadium during the 3-1 Saluki win against Indiana State.

Wilson leads with team with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs, which puts her four home runs and 11 RBIs short of the single-season records.

Katie Wilson is close to a senior season that would cement her place in SIU so ball history.

� e senior le � elder is enjoying her � nest year in a Saluki uniform, as she leads the team with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs. She sits just four home runs and 11 RBIs shy of tying single-season records.

Wilson said the key to her success this season has been simply getting the bat on the ball.

“I just try to hit the ball hard, put it in play and make things happen,” Wilson said.

Wilson is already tied for the single-season home run record, as she hit 14 her freshman year in 2007, tying her with Katie Jordan and Ma-ria Damico, both of whom hit 14 in 2005.

Wilson’s 35 RBIs are just 11 shy of the 46 runs Damico drove in during the 2005 season.

Wilson has been a key to leading the Salukis to a 27-12 overall record and a 12-1 mark in the Missouri Val-ley Conference.

Head coach Kerri Blaylock said it is important to have a player like Wil-son on the team.

“Every so ball team needs some kids that are RBI producers,” Blaylock

said. “If you’re gonna be successful, you need those type of people, and she’s doing that.”

SIU’s 12-1 MVC mark is bettered only by Illinois State, which sits at 10-0 in conference this season.

Wilson’s 10th home run of the season came Sunday against Indiana State as a solo shot. � e Salukis won that game 4-3, and junior out� elder Chelsea Held said the Salukis would need to continue winning those types of games.

“We’ve learned a lot since the beginning of the season,” Held said. “You just have to stay calm and � nish it out, and we’ve been doing a lot bet-ter with it.”

Wilson boasts the best batting average she has ever had at SIU, hit-ting at a .340 clip, which ranks third on the team. She ranks second on the team with 34 hits and has crossed the plate 21 times this season, good for third on the team.

Blaylock said Wilson’s con� dence is higher than it has ever been in her career.

“She’s fearless at the plate,” Blay-lock said. “She’s just a di� erent person in the box right now. She’s really hard to get out.”

Wilson’s 10 home runs have her tied for third in the conference, trail-ing only Creighton’s Renae Sinkler and Illinois State’s Abby Olson, each

with 14 homers. Her 35 RBIs put her second in the conference, which trails only Olson.

Wilson has 15 regular season games remaining, plus postseason play, to make her mark in the record books.

Wilson said much of her success this season has been due to her team-mates.

“Hitting is de� nitely contagious,” Wilson said. “When somebody gets on, then another person hits, you just want to keep it going.”

Sep. 11, 2001, will forever be asso-ciated with terrorism in the minds of

Americans, but if it were not for the actions of a former Evansville student-athlete, terror would also be associated with Dec. 22 of the same year.

Kwame James, a member of the EU men’s basketball team from 1996-2000, was aboard American Airlines � ight 63 when Richard Reid — who would become known as the “shoe bomber” — tried to ignite

plastic explosives in his shoe over the Atlantic ocean.

Jon Wertheim, a columnist for Sports Illustrated, detailed James’ he-roic actions in his 2006 article dubbed “� e Ultimate Assist.”

All crew and passengers in-cluded, 197 people were onboard the trans-Atlantic � ight destined for Miami from Charles de Gaulle

Airport outside of Paris.About three hours into the � ight,

Reid attempted to light a match on the tongue of his shoe. Standing 6 feet 4 inches and 200 pounds, Reid was able to fend o� � ight attendants for some time before James jumped into action.

Reid was larger than the majority of the other passengers but proved no match against the former Evansville

center from TrinCity, Trinidad.James had once used his 6-foot-8-

inch, 240-pound frame to patrol the paint in the Missouri Valley Confer-ence. But at that mid� ight moment, his stature was called upon to suppress a far di� erent opponent — terrorism.
