From her wheelchair, Cynthia Matheny pulls back her Wii Remote as she prepares to bowl her � nal frame.

As she knocks down her last pins, her score reveals she has bowled a 146 and her opponent, Mark Basco, has bowled a 159.

“If I could bowl in real life, I’d be bowling a lot better than this,” Matheny said.

Matheny is not playing in the comfort of her home but at the Acute Rehabilitation Center in Her-rin Hospital. � e game is part of Matheny’s rehabilitation a� er having her ankle amputated.

Basco, a sta� member for the center, said the department uses the games “Wii Sports” and “Wii Fit” to engage patients in a virtual reality therapy program. He said certain games are chosen to � t patients’ needs, and bowling was chosen for Matheny.

“Bowling is the best one. � ey’re just sitting and moving,” Basco said. “But if we want to challenge our pa-tients we will have them play baseball or tennis. Baseball is intended to strengthen eye-hand coordination.”

Herrin Hospital has used the Wii for two years to treat rehabili-tation patients, Jim Osborn said. Osborn, executive director of the Acute Rehabilitation Center, said his sta� was thinking of creative ways to enhance the rehab program and somebody suggested the Wii.

Suggesting the Wii was one thing, Osborn said, but securing

one proved to be di� cult. He said he was searching for a Wii during its sales peak and it would quickly sell out at stores. � e hospital could � nd no one to donate a Wii, so an employee had to wait in line, he said.

� e story was generated among local news, but Osborn said it grew from there. He said a reporter from the Chicago bureau of � e Associ-ated Press picked up the story and wrote an article. Before Osborn knew it, the story had garnered na-tional attention.

“One day, somebody came in and said, ‘Herrin is on Yahoo News,’” Osborn said.

By day’s end, Osborn was doing a live interview for a San Francisco

radio station. He said media from cities such as Minneapolis and Seattle have done stories, he has spoken with an Australian radio station and even appeared in an Italian health magazine.

“� e use of the Wii has been one of the most unusual things that have happened to me in the whole time I have been a professional in this � eld,” Osborn said.

Osborn said the Wii employs various aspects of patient treatment, including physical, occupational and speech therapy. He said it is used as a treatment strategy for improving range of motion, hand-eye coordi-nation and endurance. � e hospital even uses a game called “Big Brain Academy” that helps improve short-

term memory loss, he said.� e Wii does not replace actual

therapy, Osborn said. While the gaming console has many bene� ts, he said it is a supplement to three hours of intense therapy and serves as a reward for patients.

“� ey need to get to a certain point; when they’re closer to going home, then we introduce the Wii,” Osborn said. “� ey need to be a little more functional, a little more with-it to do all the tasks and bene� t from it.”

Osborn said the best thing about the Wii is it allows patients to be-come immersed in the game and forget the pain.

“I remember one of the very � rst ladies we tried this with,” Osborn

said. “She was really hu� ng and pu� ng a� er doing it for a few min-utes and the therapist stopped and said, ‘Do you want to take a break now?’ She said, ‘No, I want to beat my score.’”

Matheny said she has enjoyed her time at Herrin Hospital and the Wii was the most fun she had dur-ing rehabilitation. She said she is de-termined to get through rehab and walk again a� er her prosthetic leg is attached.

“It’s just mind over matter,” Ma-theny said. “I guarantee it. I will walk.”

� e city’s most bene� cial youth services are unfairly in danger of being discontinued, representatives from local community service or-ganizations said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

Recommended budget cuts on a wide range of community organi-zations were submitted for council and community discussion to help curb a projected budget de� cit of more than $5 million over the next two � scal years by the city manag-er’s o� ce.

� e � nal budget will not be ap-

proved until April 20, Mayor Brad Cole said.

Should the council follow sta� recommendations, nine com-munity programs, including the Lights Fantastic, Attucks Com-munity Services and “I Can Read” of Southern Illinois would not re-ceive any funding. Attucks Com-munity Services, and “I Can Read” of Southern Illinois which are both based in the city-owned Eurma C. Hayes Center, would still be given rent subsidies, according to sta� recommendations.

Cole referred to a standing o� er

made to the organizations by the city: Either the city would cover the center’s rent and the organizations would be responsible for fund-ing their own services, or the city would cover the costs of their ser-vices but transfer the building and its maintenance to the group.

Staff-recommended fund-ing would be disproportionately granted to organizations that aren’t included in the city’s defi-nition of “community services,” under the proposed budget said Abdul Haqq, executive director of Attucks Community Services. He

asked the city to consider restor-ing 100 percent of funds to all so-cial service agencies.

“We cannot a� ord to change the city’s funding of social services,” Haqq said. “(We need to) compete against those barriers that place youth and family at risk.”

� e “I Can Read” organization can only employ one record keeper, so it has problems getting grants, said Margaret Nesbit, chairwoman of the “I Can Read” Board.

COUNCILCONTINUED FROM 1

Chancellor Sam Goldman said the budget situation for SIUC would not improve this year — or even next year — during the � rst Faculty Senate meeting of the semester Tuesday in the Student Center.

Goldman said there are too many variables concerning money from the state, but ensured the university would continue to pursue its edu-cational goals.

“� e state has given enough funds to last us through the end of March, but nothing for a­ er that,” he said. “It’s like water torture, it’s coming month a­ er month.”

James Ferraro, associate professor in the School of Medicine, asked Goldman what the worst-case scenario was for the school, and what the chances were for the school closing down, a question Goldman quickly shot down.

“We will not close our doors; we will � nd a way,” he said.

Philip Howze, president of the Faculty Sen-ate, said there are three areas where money comes from, including one contingency plan that in-cludes frozen faculty positions. He said he was not sure if that money could be used.

“I think we’re beyond the point of any hope of that (contingency) money going back to the col-leges who so desperately need them at this time, or at least before the end of the � scal year,” Howze said.

Allan Karnes, head of the senate’s budget com-mittee, said there would need to be a tax increase in order to raise the necessary funds, or else the region will be devastated.

“We are the economic engines of this region,” Goldman said. “And if we had over 7,000 employ-ees without a paycheck, it would be devastating.”

Karnes said those interested in helping out should talk to their congressional representative.

Other points discussed during the meeting were the insurance plans for students, and the responsibility of professors when a student is sick or su� ers an injury in a classroom environment.

Jake Baggott, associate director of the Student Health Center, said professors should be able to take students to the health center before it closes at 4:30 p.m. He said if there is any serious concern,

then the professor should just call 911.Chris Glidewell, director of risk manage-

ment, said professors would be covered under the “Good Samaritan Law,” which protects from liability when one chooses to aid or help some-one, she said.

� e senate also voted on and approved mo-tions to collect all nominations and ballots for

the April Faculty Senate election electronically and to recommend the creation of a minor in photography.

� e senate will meet again March 16.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

Let me get straight to the point: Americans’ profound distrust of government is neurotic — irratio-nal, defensive and born of emotional trauma.

­ at doesn’t mean I discount other sources of our disabling dis-trust of Washington. I believe the scholars who cite watershed events like Watergate and Vietnam as having undermined our belief in governing institutions.

But such recent-history ratio-nales for our distrust don’t fully explain the emotional depth of our disa� ection. ­ ey don’t properly take into account how these events triggered the anti-government strain already in our national DNA, in the same way that, say, environmental factors can trigger a genetic predis-position or a childhood trauma can create anxiety in an adult.

If Americans were to seek help for their neurosis, any good therapist would try to dig down to the root of

the outsized distrust. Maybe he or she would let us beat around the bush for a few sessions. We’d recount incidents of government corruption, overreach. ­ en there was slavery, Jim Crow, in-ternment camps and poorly planned wars. But eventually, we’d have to discuss our national birth trauma, our violent revolt against our “father,” King George III, which gave us our independence in the � rst place.

It’s no secret that the founders in-fused this mistrust into the design of our government, or that the Constitu-tion was deliberately written to pre-vent another King George from tram-pling on our liberty again. Just pick up ­ omas Paine’s “Common Sense” to remind yourself that government is “but a necessary evil.”

Still, a legacy of articulate stances against tyranny doesn’t explain our anti-government emotionalism. Last week, members of the sprawling, frac-tious “tea party” movement gathered in Nashville. As with most naysayers, their fundamental conundrum is how to harness an essentially negative im-pulse into a positive, constructive force.

­ e movement’s very name has a lot to say about how emotional such discontent is. ­ ink back to your grade school lessons about the Boston Tea Party and remember its carnival-esque aspects. ­ e conspir-ators that night painted their faces and dressed up as Mohawk Indians. As University of Michigan historian Philip J. Deloria points out in his book, “Playing Indian,” the dress-up part of the party wasn’t only about masking identities; it was about ex-ercising New World liberty, which would become a fundamental part of forging a new collective identity as Americans.

“­ e Tea Party wasn’t the only instance in which colonial whites acted out in Indian disguise. To these revolutionaries,” Deloria writes, “In-dianness lay at the heart of Ameri-can uniqueness.” Donning feathers and darkening their faces, they sym-bolically proclaimed their separation from the mother country. And what

did they think the Indian costume meant to the representatives of King George? Unconstrained, even aborig-inal, freedom.”

­ at would be a breakthrough on a therapist’s couch. From the very beginning, to go with our legitimate fear of tyranny, we’ve idealized an end to all authority.

In a 1923 essay on U.S. litera-ture, British novelist and poet D.H. Lawrence ridiculed the American fetish-ization of liberty as a source of perennial tantrums. “Somewhere deep in every American heart,” he wrote, “lies a rebellion against the old parenthood of Europe. Yet no American feels he has completely escaped its mastery.” To Ameri-cans, he went on, liberty means “the breaking of all dominion.”

In other words, the American pas-sion for absolute liberty isn’t too far removed from heedless adolescent re-bellion. ­ e “tea party” faithful might as well be Marlon Brando in his black

leather jacket in “­ e Wild One.” “What are you rebelling against,” a girl asks the smoldering Brando. “What’ve you got?” he replies.

So, yes, there are reasons to be sus-picious of government, and yes, our yearning to be “master-less” has cre-ated a culture that sends adventurers on the open road and pioneers look-ing for the next frontier. But it’s also making it increasingly di¤ cult for government to function.

I’m not unsympathetic to the argu-ment that vigilance — protest, activ-ism, anger — is the price of freedom. But with the national government in gridlock, I’m beginning to worry that our “don’t tread on me” birthright has a deeper and darker cost.

It’s not a matter of le¥ or right. In my mind the only di� erence between 1960s le¥ ist radicals and new millenni-um right-wing refuseniks is the length of their hair. ­ ey both have showed a desperate need to work through their issues with old King George.

This photo ran in the June 30 edition of the DAILY EGYPTIAN. At the time, Clarissa Morgan and her 2-year-old son, Chance Meyers, were living at the Women’s Center in Carbondale. Clarissa contends that her employer fired her after seeing the published photo. “(My boss) said that business would decline if clients saw I was in the shelter,” Clarissa said.

Apostle Lemuel E. Holmes cries as he recalls Clarissa’s hardships while he stands in front of his church, Light-House Ministries, in Murphysboro Sunday. Holmes and his wife, pastor Judy Patterson, directed Clarissa to the Women’s Center this summer. “If it wouldn’t have been for them, I really don’t know what I would have done,” Clarissa said.

Undergraduate Student Gov-ernment o� cers said they were ex-pecting a full house Tuesday a� er controversy arose from recent wage increases.

But only one student spoke about the increases at the second meeting of the semester — and that student used to be a senator for the student government.

John Boddie, the former sena-tor and a junior from Joliet studying   nance, questioned whether sena-tors brought the wage increases to the attention of their constituents before it was voted on in the Jan. 26 meeting.

During that meeting, senators approved an amendment to increase USG President Priciliano Fabian’s wages from $1,800 to $4,000, among other o� cers’ increases, but Fabian said last week he decided to put a limit on the increases until summer a� er receiving complaints from stu-dents.

For the rest of this semester, the president will be paid $2,800; the vice president $2,600; the chief of sta� $2,100; and the executive assis-tant $1,300, Fabian said.

“I was upset that this actually went through without it actually be-ing discussed,” Boddie said.

Most senators said they talked to the students they represent before the bill was proposed at the Dec. 9 meeting.

Ashley Epps, vice president, said she was disappointed about the apathy from students, especially since they voiced their concerns to members but didn’t show up to the meeting.

“A lot of students said they wanted to come to this meeting, but we only had one student come out and speak,” Epps said. “I wish more would come down to the USG meetings.”

If students want their voices heard, they need to come and speak at the meetings during public com-ments where everyone is invited to talk, she said.

“At the end of the day, they did a good thing by decreasing the in-

crease,” Boddie said.In the summer, the president will

be paid $4,000 a semester instead of $1,800; the vice president $3,000 instead of $1,600; and in the fall the chief of sta� $2,200 instead of $1,600; and the executive assistant $1,500 instead of $800.

A� er discussing the wage in-creases, the senators passed a bill that requires all executive o� cers to have at least a 2.5 grade point average.

Some senators did not vote in fa-

vor of the bill because they said the requirement would make the stu-dent government more of a closed group and that it would raise con-cerns about privacy.

“I wouldn’t want someone repre-senting me having a GPA lower than mine,” Epps said. “Nobody wants a person representing them with a (low) GPA if they can’t even repre-sent themselves.”

Dave Lo� us, chairman of the In-ternal A� airs Committee, and other

senators said they were concerned about who would have access to GPA information.

Katie Sermersheim, advisor to the student government, would be the only one who could see the aver-age, Fabian said.

Regardless of the concerns, the senate passed bills to recognize three groups as Registered Student Or-ganizations: Students for Children, Scholars United Making Major Im-pacts a Tradition and the Computer Arts and Technology Society.

¦ e senate also elected four more senators: Ashley Jordan for Brush Towers; Tyler Chance for ¦ ompson Point; Dominique Tuck-er for the College of Science; and Margaret Butera for the College of Agriculture.

John Kiwala, executive assistant, said he was glad to have new sena-

tors who could bring fresh ideas to the senate, but added there was plen-ty of room for more.

“We need to   ll the seats,” he said.

Obama would take health care bill that’s not all he wants CHARLES BABINGTONRICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVARThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Signaling he’d meet critics part way on health care, President Barack Obama, said Tuesday he’s willing to sign a bill even if it doesn’t deliver everything he pursued through a year of grind-ing e� ort at risk of going down as a dismal failure.

� e Democrats’ massive health overhaul legislation is stalled in Congress by disagreements within the party and the loss last month of their 60th Senate vote, and with it, control of the agenda. Republicans suspect that Obama’s invitation to a televised health care summit Feb. 25 is a thinly disguised political trap. On Tuesday, the president tried to change the dour dynamic, indicat-ing he could settle for less in order to move ahead.

“Let’s put the best ideas on the table,” Obama told reporters a� er meeting with congressional leaders of both parties. “My hope is that we can � nd enough overlap that we can say, this is the right way to move for-ward, even if I don’t get every single thing that I want.”

Obama’s overarching goals are to rein in medical costs and expand coverage to millions of uninsured. Speci� cally, Obama said he’d be will-ing to work on ways to limit medi-cal malpractice lawsuits — one of the main ideas Republicans have for reducing costs, by addressing the problem of defensive medicine. Democrats, who count trial lawyers among their most generous contrib-utors, especially in an election year, have blocked all previous attempts to tackle the issue.

Obama’s � exibility marks a con-trast with the approach former Presi-dent Bill Clinton took in the 1990s

when his health care overhaul got bogged down in Congress. Clinton sternly waved his veto pen at law-makers and threatened to reject any legislation that fell short of his goal of covering all Americans. � e bill died, and Democrats lost control of Con-gress in the 1994 midterm election.

Still, Republican leaders ex-pressed renewed skepticism about Obama’s call for bipartisanship and reiterated their demand that Obama jettison the Democratic bills and start from scratch.

“It’s going to be very di� cult to have a bipartisan conversation with regard to a 2,700-page health

care bill that the Democrat major-ity in the House and the Democrat majority in the Senate can’t pass,” said House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio. “It really is time to scrap the bill and start over.” Sen-ate Republican Leader Mitch Mc-Connell of Kentucky echoed those sentiments, even though the White House says Obama has no plans to set the clock back to beginning.

But even Obama’s fellow Demo-crats are expressing skepticism about what the summit can accomplish. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., who shepherded the legislation through the Senate’s health committee, said

the GOP has had plenty of chances to o� er input, and Republicans and Democrats know each others’ posi-tions so well that “this meeting could occur an hour from now.”

“We could play each others’ hands, that’s how much familiar-ity we’ve had with this issue,” Dodd said. “� is idea we all don’t know what the other side wants, there isn’t a person le� around here” who doesn’t, Dodd said.

Republicans may run political risks if they just say no. A new Wash-ington Post-ABC News poll found that most Americans want Congress and the president to keep work-ing on a comprehensive health care overhaul. Two-thirds supported the goal in the survey, released Tuesday. Nearly six in 10 said Republicans aren’t doing enough to � nd compro-mise with Obama, while more than four in 10 said Obama is doing too little to get GOP support.

M y hope is that we can find enough overlap that we can say, this is the right way to move forward, even if I

don’t get every single thing that I want.

and a Manicure

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said Tuesday that he and the top Democrat in the Senate will play a key role in choosing Gov. Pat Quinn's running mate for the fall election.

Madigan, who also is chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party, said he plans to meet with Quinn and Senate President John Cullerton to discuss � lling the vacant position of nomi-nee for lieutenant governor. � e three of them will submit the name of a candidate to the party's central

committee, which formally makes the choice.

"At some time, the governor and Sen. Cullerton and I will sit down and talk it through," Madigan told reporters. "I expect that I will be the one that will be called upon to com-municate with the members of the committee, which I'll do. We'll at-tempt to come to a consensus."

Asked how much weight should be given to Quinn's preference, Ma-digan said he would work coopera-tively with the governor.

� e Quinn campaign did not immediately respond to a question about how much in� uence Madigan and Cullerton should have. Quinn

did say Monday that he planned to work collaboratively with the two legislative leaders.

Madigan would not say whether he favors any particular candidate or what quali� cations the running mate should have.

Democratic voters nominated Scott Lee Cohen for lieutenant gov-ernor last week, but he dropped out of the race a� er the public learned he had been accused of domestic abuse, skipping child support payments, steroid abuse and more.

Cohen's withdrawal puts Quinn in a unique position.

He gets a say in who runs with him for lieutenant governor, some-

thing voters normally decide, but the ultimate decision rests with party insiders — a group Quinn never has been particularly close to. Quinn and the Democratic Central Committee will be juggling a long list of political questions, such as whether the ticket needs a downstate candidate.

Madigan predicted a tight race for Quinn. He said the governor has been weakened by the revelation that his Corrections Department had quietly adopted a policy that allowed hundreds of inmates, some of them violent, to leave a� er serving only days or weeks behind bars.

Madigan said he is surprised Quinn didn't � re someone. "� at's

what I would recommend," he said.Quinn blamed Correction Direc-

tor Michael Randle for the "big mis-take" but said Randle had learned from the experience and didn't de-serve to be � red.

Madigan also took aim at Repub-lican lawmakers, saying they have refused to cooperate with Demo-crats on � nding solutions to the state's massive budget problems. He called them "nonparticipating do-nothings."

Republicans argue that the Dem-ocratic majority routinely shuts them out of budget talks, rejects their ideas and uses parliamentary maneuvers to block their legislation.

Chicago band Dot Dot Dot coming to Copper Dragon

Band from top � ve of ‘Next Great American Band’ stops in Carbondale

I t was just such an emotional experience for me. I got to play in front of my family. I’ve never got to do that before. It was something I will never forget.

— Rose Laguanalead guitarist

On their last appearance on “� e Next Great American Band,” the judges told Dot Dot Dot that while musically it was good, the band had trouble conveying the meaning of the music it played. Friday, it can be judged in Carbondale.

Dot Dot Dot is a Chicago-based pop band formed in 2007. � e band � nished � � h out of 12 in “� e Next Great American Band”, a series that aired on Fox in 2007. At 10 p.m. Friday, Dot Dot Dot will be performing at Copper Dragon.

Lead vocalist and guitar player Adam Blair said the band enjoyed the exposure “� e Next Great American Band” gave it.

“� e show really helped us get our name out there,” Blair said. “We had so much fan support and interest from people, it was unbelievable. I loved every second of it.”

Blair said he was especially proud of the per-formance on “� e Next Great American Band” because the group had only been together for � ve months before the show went on the air.

Dot Dot Dot was chosen to be on the show from a � eld of 6,000 di� erent bands that sent in

audition tapes. Of those, 60 were � own to Las Vegas to participate in a judging session. Dot Dot Dot was selected as one of 12 bands to par-ticipate in the show, which had an American Idol format that involved viewers voting on the winners.

On the show, Dot Dot Dot sang songs such as “Pressure” by Billy Joel, “Let’s Spend the Night Together” by the Rolling Stones and, in their � nal performance on the show, “Young Turks” by Rod Stewart.

Blair said the experience helped him realize how good the band is and how it has a lot of potential.

“We weren’t together very long and we were already selected to be on this show,” Blair said. “It was pretty amazing.”

� e band formed because the musicians were familiar with each other, Blair said. Blair,

along with keyboard player Michael Bonowicz and drummer Stephan Kohnke, was part of a band called � e Fabulous Janes. Bass player Lisa Shank and lead guitarist Rose Laguana were part of a band called Cat� ght.

“When you play around the Chicago music scene, you become familiar with everybody there,” Shank said. “You gain respect for your fellow musicians and it builds a camaraderie.”

� e group gets along well because of this familiarity, Shank said.

“� ey’re like a second family to me,” Shank said. “You spend so much time with them; you can really count on them for anything.”

Shank said her favorite moment as a mem-ber of Dot Dot Dot was not being part of “� e Next Great American Band,” but instead was when the band performed in Guam April 25.

“It was a privilege to be able to go out there and do that,” Shank said. “� ere were people there who had never got to hear anything like us before. � ey loved us and it was awesome.”

� e band performed in Guam because La-guana is from there.

“It was just such an emotional experience for me. I got to play in front of my family. I’ve never got to do that before,” Laguana said. “It was something I will never forget.”

Dot Dot Dot last played in Carbondale Oct. 23. Blair said the band is looking forward to the return trip.

“We love playing in Carbondale,” Blair said. “It’s a fun city and they really know how to par-ty. � e people there are the best.”

� is past summer Clarissa Morgan reached the end of her rope. She lost her house when mold took over a� er the May 8 storm. Her husband � led for divorce. She lost

her job and was living with her two sons in the Women’s Center in Carbondale a� er su  ering physical abuse from a family member.

Eight months later, Clarissa is doing much better. She is back in her house, has a new job and is loving life with her boys.

This photo ran in the June 30 edition of the DAILY EGYPTIAN. At the time, Clarissa Morgan and her 2-year-old son, Chance Meyers, were living at the Women’s Center in Carbondale. Clarissa contends that her employer fired her after seeing the published photo. “(My boss) said that business would decline if clients saw I was in the shelter,” Clarissa said.

Apostle Lemuel E. Holmes cries as he recalls Clarissa’s hardships while he stands in front of his church, Light-House Ministries, in Murphysboro Sunday. Holmes and his wife, pastor Judy Patterson, directed Clarissa to the Women’s Center this summer. “If it wouldn’t have been for them, I really don’t know what I would have done,” Clarissa said.

Janaya Leigh, 21, of Carbondale, sits as Clarissa cuts her hair at Hot Heads Salon in late January. Clarissa loves her new job and says her co-workers are “very supportive.”

Clarissa relaxes in front of the television with her son Chandler Teeling, 5, at their home in Carterville earlier this month.

Just one week ago, the SIU men’s basketball team was pulling out a tough 73-67 victory against Mis-souri State at the SIU Arena.

Today, the Salukis (13-10, 5-8 Missouri Valley Conference) will head to Spring� eld, Mo., in an at-tempt to sweep the season series from the Bears.

Head coach Chris Lowery said the team is con� dent going into its last six games of the regular season.

“It’s about not letting the stu� af-fect you mentally that doesn’t need to a� ect you,” Lowery said.

In the win, SIU freshman center Gene Teague scored a career-high 16 points while grabbing eight re-bounds to lead the Salukis to the win.

Teague also scored nine points and grabbed � ve rebounds Satur-day against Northern Iowa senior center Jordan Eglseder, a candidate

for MVC Player of the Year, and held him to four points and four re-bounds.

Lowery said Teague and Eglseder had a tough matchup and nulli� ed each other in SIU’s 55-52 loss to the Panthers Saturday.

“¥ ey had a heavyweight boxing match and knocked each other out,” Lowery said. “¥ ey cancelled each other out, honestly.”

Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacob-son said Teague has been key to the Salukis’ improved play.

“Teague is one of the bigger rea-sons why they’re playing better here in the last three weeks,” Jacobson said.

¥ ree other players joined Teague in double � gures for the Sa-lukis, as junior guard Justin Bocot scored 13 points, sophomore guard Kevin Dillard scored 11 points and sophomore forward Anthony Book-er added 10 points.

Missouri State (16-8, 6-7 MVC) junior guard Adam Leonard led the

Feb. 3 game in scoring, netting 29 points, going 10-19 from the � eld and 7-11 from 3-point range. Of his 29 points, 20 came in the � rst half.

Junior forward/center Will Creekmore joined Leonard in dou-ble � gures for the game, scoring 12 points while knocking down all six of his free throws.

Senior guard Tony Freeman, who led the Salukis in scoring Saturday with 17 points, said the team needs to learn how to execute down the stretch in order to win close games.

“It’s not over until the buzzer sounds,” Freeman said. “Every play is crucial, especially down the stretch. We just gotta do a better job of ex-ecuting plays and being tougher.”

¥ e Salukis will look to beat the Bears at 7:05 p.m. today at Missouri State.

Just three days after the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, that Colts have been tagged as 6-1 favorites to win next year’s Super Bowl. Who is your pick?

Saluki Insider

I’m going to go with a bit of a sleeper and say the Tennessee Titans, at 30-1 odds, are going to take the big game. My boy Vince Young is going to do like he did at Texas and use his arm and legs to take out all potential comers, including Who Dat Nation.

Well, I think we should just take a second to appreciate the Saints great season … OK, second over. I think the San Diego Chargers might finally put it all together next season. Even without LT, the Chargers have a strong defense, quarterback and one of the best tight ends. If the run game comes around, they could be champs.

I have to go with the Green Bay Packers. They were a trendy pick to win it all last year, but I did not figure they would put it all together until the 2010-11 season. Aaron Rodgers is aging into an excellent leader and could very well be the Steve Young to Favre’s Montana. At 12-1, my money is on the Packers.

NEW ORLEANS — Only a Super Bowl victory parade could upstage Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Carnival floats carrying Saints players, coaches and team owner Tom Benson rolled past tens of thousands of jubilant fans in downtown New Orleans on Tuesday, two days after the 43-year-old franchise won its first NFL championship.

Players, wearing team jerseys instead of traditional Carnival masks and costumes, tossed beads into the crowd and signed auto-graphs for throngs of screaming fans. Benson shouted “Who Dat!” into a microphone from his perch atop a float. Head coach Sean Pay-ton blew kisses and held the Lom-bardi Trophy over his head.

“Here’s to the best Mardi Gras

week in the history of this city,” Payton said, raising a glass of champagne during a toast outside the city’s historic Gallier Hall.

The parade, a week before the city’s signature Fat Tuesday cel-ebration, started outside their home turf at the Louisiana Su-perdome. Black, gold and white confetti floated over the crowd and a man wearing a Saints jacket held aloft a sign that read, “Happy Lombardi Gras!”

The floats stopped at a review-ing stand so elected officials, in-cluding Mayor Ray Nagin, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter, could toast the team’s 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

“How’s the ‘Who Dat’ nation feel tonight?” Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees yelled when his £ oat stopped at the reviewing stand. “¤ is toast goes out to you. We love you and we won that championship for you.”

Ten Carnival krewes lent floats for the team to ride. More than a dozen marching bands joined the team on its route, which passed by the edge of the French Quarter and ended at the city’s convention center. An official crowd estimate wasn’t immediately available, but many fans said the gathering seemed larger than any during Mardi Gras.

“¤ is is wilder than Mardi Gras,” said Frank V. Smith, 55, a lifelong New Orleans resident who shot pho-tographs of players from the rear of a pickup truck. “I’ve never seen so many people out here like this. ¤ is is beautiful, man.”

Shannon Cobb, 28, of Metairie, said the parade was a party with a purpose.

“Everybody is here for one reason: their love for the city and their love for the Saints and to show our appreciation for what they’ve done for us,” she said.

Good times roll at Saints’ victory parade

Nick Evans con� rmed Tuesday that he has le the SIU men’s basketball team.

� e 6-foot-11-inch sophomore center said he made the decision to leave the team following practice Monday a ernoon.

“It just wasn’t for me anymore,” Evans said. “Everybody’s looking for a � nger to point, everybody’s looking to blame somebody and there’s really nobody to blame.”

� e Salukis are 13-10 overall on the season, and sit in ninth place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 5-8 record.

Evans is the eighth player who has le or been dismissed from the team during Chris Lowery’s six-year stint as head coach, including Mike Dale, Brandon Wood, Joshua Bone, Jordan Armstrong, Torres Roundtree, Chris-tian Cornelius and Ryan Hare.

Evans said he was not sure if he would transfer to another school or if he would end his basketball career.

In 21 games this season, Evans averaged 5.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

Evans was suspended twice dur-ing the season, once following an ejection in the Salukis’ Jan. 13 game against Creighton, and again for Sat-urday’s game against Northern Iowa for a violation of team rules.

Evans said he was an athlete who

played with passion when he got onto the court.

“I really slowly started losing my passion for the game and I really don’t know why,” Evans said. “I just realized that I couldn’t help this team win any-more. I realized I was just hurting my-self. I just didn’t want to play anymore.”

Lowery did not respond to a voice

mail le on his cell phone.Athletic Director Mario Moccia

said he could not con� rm that Evans has quit, and his current status is that he has been suspended from the team.

Moccia said the Salukis were at their best when they had continuity.

“We had our greatest success over the last six years ago in the NCAA

Tournaments because we had up-perclassmen, people who had been in the program for four or � ve years,” Moccia said. “I think the path back to success lies in continuity.”

Evans said he was thankful to ev-eryone he encountered since trans-ferring to Carbondale Community High School his senior year.

“� is is my hometown,” Evans said. “I just want to be thankful for what this place gave me and what I was able to take from it. � at’s what means the most to me, not just a ball and a hoop.”

Stile T. Smith can be reached at sts34@siu.edu or

536-3311 ext. 256.

New Saluki o� ensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer will likely make between $63,000 and $66,000 annually, Athletic Director Mario Moccia said.

Moccia said head coach Dale Lennon

will decide the � nal amount, but he would have to stay within that range.

“Whether coach wants to � ddle a little bit here and there, he has that ability contractually, but we haven’t

made any � nal determinations yet,” Moccia said.

Moccia said former o� ensive coordinator Phil Longo made about $65,000 annually.

The SIU men’s basketball team’s record could easily be 19-4 overall and 11-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

But as it stands, the team is 13-10 overall and 5-8 in the MVC af-ter going 2-6 in conference games decided by five points or fewer.

If the team does not move into sixth place by the end of the sea-son, it will play in the Thursday play-in game of the MVC Tourna-ment, trying to get a quarterfinals matchup with one of the top two seeds.

But if you ask Northern Iowa or Wichita State, the top two teams in the conference, if they want to play the Salukis in the first round of Arch Madness, their responses would likely be a re-sounding, “No.”

SIU has shown the ability to play with any team in the confer-ence. The team suffered a three-point loss on the road to the MVC-leading and No. 19-ranked Panthers and a one-point loss at home to Wichita State.

In addition to those close loss-es, the Salukis have beat two of the three teams tied for third place in the conference, taking down Bradley on the road and Illinois

State in overtime at the SIU Are-na. They dropped a close game to rival Creighton, also tied for third in the MVC, by two points in Omaha, Neb.

SIU has the talent to beat top teams in the conference. Fresh-man center Gene Teague proved that he is for real by holding Northern Iowa’s Jordan Eglseder, a frontrunner for MVC Player of the Year, to just four points and four rebounds Saturday.

In addition to Teague, the Sa-lukis have reigning MVC New-comer of the Year Kevin Dillard, averaging 13.1 points per game and leading the MVC in assists per game with 5.5. Senior guard Tony Freeman is averaging 12.5 points per game, is third in the MVC in 3-point percentage at 43.2 percent and gives the Salu-kis the veteran leadership they need.

The Salukis are also not at a

loss when it comes to confidence. Following the team’s heartbreak-ing three-point loss to Northern Iowa Saturday, Freeman said SIU has never been more confident.

“I think our confidence is at an all-time high,” Freeman said. “We know we can play and beat any-body in our league. That’s what’s so frustrating about these close, close losses.”

The Salukis will be ready once March rolls around, and no team in the MVC should be excited to see them.
