Even though students and resi-dents will soon be able to receive the H1N1 vaccine through the Jackson County Health Depart-ment, the university is struggling to determine when its vaccine ship-ments will arrive.

Ted Grace, director of the Stu-dent Health Center, said the center was promised shipments a couple of weeks ago, but has no idea when the vaccines will arrive.

“I wish I knew the arrival date,” Grace said. “No one is communi-cating with us on what’s going on.”

President Barack Obama de-clared H1N1 a national emergency Saturday as a pre-emptive measure designed to speed up treatment and slow the spread of the strain. Ac-cording to the Chicago Tribune, the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention wanted to have ample supplies of the vaccine available by mid-October, but problems in pro-duction have slowed distribution.

Grace said the vaccine has been under-produced because the H1N1 strain does not grow as fast as the seasonal flu does in eggs used to produce the vaccine. According to The New York Times, only about 28 million doses would be available by the end of October, which is 30 percent below the 40 million doses that had been previously projected.

Angie Bailey, director of health education, said the Jackson County Health Department has received a supply of H1N1 vaccinations and has scheduled free clinics beginning Friday. Bailey said she did not know the exact amount of vaccinations received, but she anticipates there will eventually be enough for everyone who wants it.

“(The amount of vaccinations) is constantly changing,” Bailey said.

“We anticipate we will have enough vaccinations probably within the next couple of months.”

Bailey said the department has scheduled clinics for Friday and Saturday to vaccinate people who are most at risk of complications, including people age 6 months to 24 years old. Though there are three scheduled clinics for November, Bailey said she would encourage people to check the Web site or call ahead to confirm the clinic time.

Grace said the health depart-ment and area hospitals are first priority to obtain the vaccines and the Jackson County Health De-partment has received three small shipments. Bailey said the depart-ment has already ordered more.

Grace said the university is second priority and he thought it would begin receiving shipments soon after the health department received its first order.

“We thought we would then begin getting the shipment,” Grace said. “It looks like they’re going to fill (the Jackson County Health Department’s) full order first … be-fore they go to the second priority.”

SIUC’s enrollment decreased for the fifth consecutive year to 20,350 students, and the unknown status of the Monetary Award Program grant for the fall 2010 semester could force that number even lower.

Victoria Valle, assistant vice chancellor for enrollment manage-ment, said efforts have been in-creased to both recruit students to the university and to keep them here.

“The other thing we’re doing is we’re not making the assump-tion that when a student leaves us, they’re gone forever,” Valle said. “We’re making some substantial ef-forts to get students back who may have left.”

Valle said they would find out where students have gone after leaving the university, discover if they have any interests in coming back and then make efforts to bring them back.

Heather Eldridge, a sophomore from Murphysboro studying ac-counting, said she does not know if

she could afford tuition at SIUC if the MAP grant does not continue to be funded.

“Tuition keeps going up, MAP grants are reinstated, but who knows how long they will be rein-stated for,” Eldridge said. “That’s a big issue.”

Eldridge said she has considered going to John A. Logan College if the grant does not return.

Valle said the loss of the grant would be devastating to the uni-versity, and it would be difficult to recover in its absence.

“Quite frankly, the university

doesn’t have any funding to match that,” Valle said. “What we’re hop-ing is that the program is funded in a real and substantial way.”

Shetara Sawyer, a freshman from Chicago studying pre-medi-cine, said she is considering going back to school in Chicago because she is not sure if she could get into the program she wants: fashion design.

“They want me to do too much to get into the program,” Sawyer said. “They told me my ACT scores were too low, so they said if I get a 3.0 (GPA) this semester, then I

could possibly get in.”Sawyer said if she were able to

get into the program, she would probably stay at the university; oth-erwise she would likely transfer to the Art Institute of Chicago.

Valle said in order to better re-tain students, they must find out how to keep students engaged.

“We find that the students who are more engaged, both in the class-room and outside the classroom, are the ones who we tend to keep,” Valle said.

Whether it’s a heart in a cooler or a pizza in a cardboard box, Chris Rob-ertson of Swifty Delivery says he’ll deliver it.

The 33-year-old Evansville, Ind., native said he started the freelance delivery service a couple months ago and already delivers for Quizno’s and Southern Que Barbecue res-taurants, as well as anyone else who contacts him.

The idea for Swifty Delivery came when Robertson and his friends were at a bar in Evansville and ran out of cigarettes.

“The bar didn’t sell cigarettes, and we couldn’t get a pack of cigarettes delivered by anybody, and we said ‘Why don’t we just start doing this?’” Robertson said.

Robertson and a friend set up a business in Evansville that offered various low-cost shipping services, he said.

“We finally got to where we were delivering organs for the hospitals and saved them quite a lot of money be-cause the ambulance services always charged them a lot,” Robertson said.

Robertson left his friend in charge of the Evansville service when he moved to Carbondale to manage

Jimmy John’s, he said. But he said he had a falling out with the owner and decided to set up a service in Carbon-dale similar to the one he founded in Evansville.

Robertson, who is the sole em-ployee of Swifty Delivery, said he would deliver just about anything to anywhere in the region.

“If a lawyer needs a document sent from here to the courthouse in Mar-ion, I’ll deliver it. You think about it, I’ll pretty much deliver it, as long as it’s not against the law,” he said.

Robertson said he charges $4 per any in-town delivery, and a dollar extra for each additional stop.

He eventually would like to build his operation to a full-scale delivery service, complete with a fleet of trucks that would compete with other ship-ping services such as FedEx, he said.

Robertson believes bringing such a company to Carbondale would pro-vide a large amount of jobs.

“Eventually I could probably have a hub here 10 years down the road if everything works out right … and I could probably employ 100 people to anywhere from 600 or 700 people,” he said.

The Rev. Sidney Logwood, owner of Southern Que Barbecue, said he turned to Robertson’s delivery ser-vices because his newer business does not have the customer base to hire a

full-time delivery driver.“It was hard to get somebody just

to be on-call without having a lot of deliveries,” Logwood said. “One day we might get six deliveries, the next we might get 10 — we could never be for sure. (Robertson) came by and made us aware of the services he offered, and we thought it was great idea.”

Robert Frassato, owner of Quiz-

no’s, said he turned over his delivery responsibilities to Robertson two weeks ago to save labor and better serve his customers.

“It makes it a lot more easier on us as far as scheduling and ... it allows us to concentrate more on what the customers need in the store,” Frassato said.

Frassato said he’s received positive

feedback from several customers who received deliveries from Robertson.

“There are times when he’s run-ning three different deliveries for three different establishments, and we haven’t had any complaints about him thus far,” Frassato said.

Nick Johnson can be reached at 536-3311 ext. 263.

Mike CorderTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Radovan Karadzic’s words urg-ing the destruction of Bosnia’s non-Serbs rang out in a courtroom Tuesday from speeches and inter-cepted phone calls as U.N. prosecu-tors opened their genocide and war crimes case against him.

The former Bosnian Serb leader boycotted his trial for the second day, despite warnings from the war crimes tribunal’s presiding judge that he could be stripped of his right to defend himself.

The trial promises to be the ju-dicial climax of the Balkan wars of the early 1990s that left more than 100,000 people dead, most of them victims of Bosnian Serb attacks.

In his opening statement, pros-ecutor Alan Tieger called Karadzic the “undisputed leader” and “su-preme commander” of the Serbs re-sponsible for atrocities throughout Bosnia’s brutal four-year war.

“(Karadzic) harnessed the forces of nationalism, hatred and fear to pursue his vision of an ethnically segregated Bosnia,” Tieger said.

Prosecutors allege Karadzic was the driving force behind atrocities beginning with the ethnic cleans-ing of towns and villages to create an ethnically pure Serb state in 1992 and culminating in Europe’s worst massacre since World War II, the 1995 slaughter of 8,000 Mus-

lim men and boys at Srebrenica by Bosnian Serb forces.

Karadzic, who has submitted more than 250 motions to the court since he decided to represent him-self, claims he has not had enough time to prepare for his defense, even though he was arrested more than 15 months ago and first indicted in 1995.

Judge O-Gon Kwon said he will consider imposing a lawyer to rep-resent Karadzic if he continues to boycott proceedings.

At the end of Monday’s hear-ing, Kwon said if Karadzic con-tinues his boycott when the case resumes next Monday the court will hold a hearing Tuesday to dis-cuss its options, including assign-ing a defense counsel to represent Karadzic and possibly adjourning the trial to give an assigned lawyer time to prepare.

Karadzic faces 11 charges — two genocide counts and nine other war crimes and crimes against hu-manity. He has refused to enter any pleas, but insists he is innocent. If convicted, he faces a maximum sen-tence of life imprisonment.

Tieger played video of a noto-rious Karadzic speech before war broke out in which the Bosnian Serb leader predicted that Muslims would disappear from Bosnia.

“By the disappearance of the Muslim people, Karadzic meant that they would be physically an-nihilated,” Tieger said.

He showed judges footage of skeletal Muslim prisoners behind the wire fence of a Serb-run deten-tion camp and read from transcripts of intercepted phone conversations.

He quoted Karadzic as saying that Serb forces would turn the ethnically mixed Bosnian capital of Sarajevo into “a black cauldron where 300,000 Muslims will die.”

Witnesses who survived the 44-month siege of Sarajevo have described living “in constant fear, day after day, for years, knowing that they or their loved ones were targets,” Tieger said, before showing judges video of a young boy fatally shot by a sniper and Bosnian Serb forces tar-geting mourners at a funeral.

He said Karadzic and other high-ranking Bosnian Serbs engaged in a campaign to vilify Bosnia’s Muslims and drive them out of towns and vil-lages as war erupted in 1992. Non-Serbs in Bosnia were rounded up and incarcerated in a series of camps con-trolled by Karadzic’s police and army, Tieger told the tribunal’s judges.

“In the best of circumstances, de-tainees existed in dehumanizing con-ditions,” Tieger said. “In the worst, all too frequently, detainees were subject-ed to beatings, rape, terror and death.”

Outside the courtroom, Bosnian survivor Esnaf Moujic said hearing the prosecutor recount the begin-nings of the Bosnian war was pain-ful, even though it told him nothing he did not already know.

“It is shocking to come here,” he said. “You relive the images of how it was back in ‘92.”

He also lamented Karadzic’s ab-sence.

“Again, it is Karadzic who is dic-tating what happens,” said Moujic, 42, who fled the Bosnian town of Bratunac in April 1992 with his wife and child

and now lives in the Netherlands. “He decided in 1992 and again now.”

Dozens of other war survivors crowded into the courtroom’s public gallery and other rooms set aside for them at the tribunal to watch the trial. Some traveled up to 30 hours on buses across Europe just to be at the trial.

Karadzic was arrested last year in Belgrade after 13 years on the run. When he was captured he was pos-ing as New Age healer Dr. Dragan

Dabic, disguised behind thick glasses, a bushy beard and straggly gray hair.

Tieger mentioned Biljana Plavsic as one of Karadzic’s key col-laborators. Earlier Tuesday, Plavsic — the only woman among the 161 people indicted by the Internation-al Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia — was released from a Swedish prison after serving two-thirds of an 11-year sentence for war crimes.

Cabaret Decadance started out of a casual conversation about poetry among friends.

“We need to make poetry so it is laughing and dancing in people’s faces,” said Clare McCall, the founder and lyricist of the burlesque troupe in Carbondale, which has been performing around Halloween each year for sever-al years. “It created itself out of nowhere,” McCall said.

“Burlesque” originates from the French word meaning “comic.”

This burlesque troop consists of an eccentric group of extroverts who take pleasure in perform-ing musical entertainment styled by the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s, with comedic lyrics, laced with sultry dances, ornate costumes and party props.

The troupe comes together to practice its songs and dances for about a month before its annual performance. The show pieces itself together to entertain a full house of spectators.

The most common misconcep-

tion of the term ‘burlesque’ is it is about stripping. It’s not.

It’s about women being empow-ered by their sexuality, coordinat-ing elements of humor and parody.

“It’s a way to lighten up a nor-mally serious topic,” Gwen King, saxophonist, said. “It should be a blast; it should be goofy and spunky.”

To enjoy a typical burlesque show, one may need some level of comfort in seeing females dressed scantily. This Cabaret doesn’t do things differently, but the troupe is well aware of the social implications.

“We have two doctors … we are highly educated here,” McCall said.

Those two are her husband John McCall, the composer and keyboardist and an associate pro-fessor of anthropology at SIUC; and the drummer, SIUC percus-

sion instructor Ron Coulter.The McCalls find inspiration from old tunes as well as ones that have already been reused in modern times.

“I took this tune and structure … I turned it into really quite a travesty of a lusty little parody of all the things that could potentially go wrong,” McCall said. “I mocked it, and I parodied it … that is basically the essence of what bur-

lesquing is. To burlesque is to take something and to –– through song, parody, dance, mockery and acting out –– make total fun of something that should be beyond reproach, that should be held as sacred in society,” McCall said. “So I went there.”

Grace said he has ordered 8,000 doses, but has not commu-nicated with the Illinois Depart-ment of Health since it questioned whether the health center could house that large of an order, which Grace said it could.

Once the health center does re-ceive the vaccines, Grace said clin-ics would most likely be held often and possibly daily for about three to four hours at a time at multiple locations on campus.

Grace said the university has had two confirmed cases of H1N1 and about 25 positive cases of in-fluenza A, which has not been identified in the area as any other strain besides H1N1. Grace said those cases receive the same H1N1

treatment as well.

EDYTA B!ASZCZYK | DAILY EGYPTIANSurgical masks are presented around the Student Health Center so students with flu-like symptoms can wear them to prevent the disease from spreading. Ted Grace, Student Health Center director, said he was unsure of when the university would receive the H1N1 vaccines.

Valle said retention begins with recruitment, and it would be vital to bring students to the university with the same traits as those who have succeeded.

Valle said it is also important to help students with any needs they may have.

“If those are academic needs, we provide the support that they need,” Valle said. “If they’re social needs, we let them know what’s available for them on campus.”

Latoya Gordon, a junior from Chicago studying early childhood education, said the reason most of her friends have dropped out have been their own fault.

“They weren’t even attempting to go to class,” Gordon said. “If a per-son really wants to go to school and get their degree, then they can do it. But, if they’re not going to work for it, they’re not going to make it.”

Gordon said she has never even thought of leaving SIUC and she plans on graduating in May 2011.

Lorenzo Fitzgerald, a senior from Maywood studying radio and televi-sion, said he would do whatever it takes to come back in the fall and get his degree, even if the MAP grant does not continue to be funded.

“Regardless of if it’s back or not, I’m going to have to finish,” Fitzgerald said. “I’ll have to try and get a few more scholarships or grants.”

Although the Strip is shut down on Hal-loween, Booby’s will be alive and full of music.

The venue will host a Halloween concert Saturday that includes popular local bands such as The Black Fortys, Himalayas and Nighty Night. Bat Rider, a band from the United Kingdom, will also perform.

Josh Doyle, of Himalayas, said the Hal-loween show at Booby’s last year was such a success they had to do it again.

“It’s a special show,” he said. “Booby’s is prob-ably going to be the place to be on Halloween.”

Lacy Morris, Booby’s manager, said the venue is not shut down on Halloween because it is both a restaurant and a bar.

Doyle said Nighty Night is joining last year’s acts –– The Black Fortys and Himalayas

––because of its recent splash onto the Car-bondale music scene.

David Allen, of Nighty Night, said the band’s first show was around Thanksgiving in 2008.

Bat Rider presents a unique addition to the concert because it is a foreign band. Allen said Bat Rider was booked for The Swamp, a local basement venue, but decided to join the Halloween show at Booby’s.

“Somebody talked to Josh (of The Black Fortys) about maybe getting them in on this show because they’re from, you know, a ways away,” Allen said.

David Brown, of The Black Fortys, said the band should be received well because Car-bondale is open to new music.

“People are way less pretentious here than in other places. I think that in a lot of places people … pretend to not be interested,” he said. “They hide their emotions a lot, and that

doesn’t happen at all in Carbondale. It’s very down to Earth, and people are excited to see music and excited to see bands from out of town that they’ve never seen before.”

Doyle said members of the three local bands are friends with each other and find common ground through playing music.

“Everybody’s friendly in this area, and we hang out a lot. Most of it revolves around mu-sic,” he said. “We all love music, talk about music all the time and write our own music, and I think that’s really important.”

Brown said the three bands are also made up of southern Illinois natives, which is why they are such a tight-knit group.

“It doesn’t seem like we’re transient peo-ple. When we say, ‘Oh I’m going home this weekend,’ it means, ‘I’m going over to that street,’” he said. “There’s no danger in any of these bands being in town for four years and then taking off.”

Patrick Scheil has big plans when he finishes school at SIU — and they do not involve his field of study.

After graduation, Scheil plans to chase a dream as a professional golfer instead of pursue a career in commer-cial recreation.

“I knew I wanted to play golf pro-fessionally ever since I was a little kid in the backyard hitting balls around,” Scheil said. “I started hitting balls when I was 1 and my dad cut me down a club for size, and I picked it up from there.”

After his father lost his job, Scheil said his family moved down to Wil-liamsburg, Va., where his interest in golf continued to grow.

“It was a great move for me be-cause the whole town was a huge golfing town and I got to see the ju-nior golf scene,” Scheil said.

During his high school career at Walsingham Academy, Scheil won the Tidewater Conference of Indepen-dent Schools Championship in 2003 and 2004. He also was a three-time Virginia State Catholic Champion.

After high school, Scheil came to southern Illinois to continue his golf-ing career at John A. Logan College. While at John A. Logan, Scheil was named to the National Junior Col-lege Athletic Association’s PING All-American second team for the 2007-08 season. He was also named Region 24 Player of the Year in 2007-08. He won the 2006 Regional Championship and as a sophomore he won the 2007 Illinois State JUCO Championship.

Scheil said he came to SIU be-cause he had developed friendships with several SIU golfers while he went to John A. Logan.

Scheil said his family has sup-ported him in his junior career and still does.

“If it wasn’t for my parents, I wouldn’t be here today,” Scheil said. “They have supported me from day one whether it was tournament fees or hotel rooms, and they are happy to see me doing something that I love.”

SIU freshman Jeff Miller said Scheil is a talented golfer and is always willing to help anybody on the team.

“Pat has helped me as a person and as a golfer,” Miller said. “He has helped me with my game, and he also helped me deal with the transition from high school to college.”

SIU men’s golf coach Leroy New-ton said Scheil has done a good job for

the Salukis. Newton said Scheil takes pride on having low scores and has worked hard on his game over the years.

Scheil said he loves golf because it is an individual challenge.

“Golf is a sport that is the ultimate reward, and I don’t depend on other

players for success,” Scheil said. “It is a battle between me and the course, and when I win a tournament, it is because I played good golf.”

Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, will miss four to six weeks with a broken kneecap. The Clippers have a history with failed No. 1 picks (Danny Manning, Michael Olowokandi) and have had only two winning seasons in the last 30 years. Are the Clippers cursed?

!"#$%&'()*&+,-

Of course there are curses, Derek, as a Cubs fan you should know this. What, were the 102 years of futility just because of an astronomical amount of poor man-aging? You’re crazy. Anyways, Donald Sterling has proven himself to be an almost Billy Goat-like presence in Los Angeles. Anything he touches turns into embarrass-ment. On the bright side, Sterling still makes great money.

Yeah, they have to be cursed. They are about as cursed as the Cubs or even the Pittsburgh Pirates. Either way, no matter which sport it is, these teams are nothing more than utter failures. I think it gets to a point where management doesn’t even matter and superstition becomes the most feasible way to explain why a team has become the laughingstock of the league.

There are no curses in sports. I don’t care if it’s been 100 years since you’ve won a championship or if you have never won a championship at all, curses just do not exist. What does exist is incompetent ownership that makes horrible decisions about what is best for a given team. The Clippers are one of the most poorly run organizations in all of sports and have a general manager in Mike Dunleavy that makes Isiah Thomas look like the Billy Beane of the NBA. It is a shame for Griffin to miss time with an injury, but the Clippers have been miserable for years with or without injuries.

Men’s“Obviously everybody likes their teams, usually, right

now. Just because everything is new and highly competitive,” Lowery said. “I think we definitely have that, but that is ob-viously in judgment until you play a game and you actually watch people play and see how they respond.”

Past history supports Lowery’s beliefs.Only once in the past four years has the preseason poll

correctly picked the regular-season champion, as last year’s preseason No. 1 Creighton finished tied for first with North-ern Iowa, which was ranked sixth in the preseason polls.

Lowery said his team is only concerned about its depth right now.

“The one thing we are focused in on is trying people in different spots, and it is good for us that we do have a lot of guys that we are seeing in practice,” Lowery said. “Right now, we’re looking for our guys to compete. That is our biggest concern.”

MENSCONTINUED FROM 12

Tom WithersTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — The re-united Big Three — and Rasheed — are one up on the Big Two.

Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Ray Allen 16 and Kevin Garnett 13 in his first regular-season game since last March as the Boston Celtics beat Cleveland 95-89 on Tuesday night in the NBA season opener, spoiling the hyped debut of the Cavaliers with LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal.

Pierce made two crucial jump-ers and two free throws in the fi-nal 1:03 to pace the Celtics, whose drive to a second straight title was derailed when Garnett injured his knee late last season. Rasheed Wal-

lace, added as a free agent during the offseason, had 12 points.

James scored 38 and O’Neal added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who won their first 23 home games last season but are already 0-1 on their floor.

Because of the 14-time All-Star O’Neal’s addition, the Cavaliers have gotten the bulk of the pre-season attention and are a trendy pick to win their first NBA title.

The Celtics may have other plans.

Garnett looked fully recovered from surgery to repair his right knee. Allen stroked a couple 3s, and Pierce was his cold-blooded best down the stretch. After James missed a 3-pointer that would have brought Cleveland within one,

Pierce stuck a 15-footer to make it 89-83.

Cleveland turned it over when newly acquired Anthony Parker couldn’t handle a pass from James, and Pierce made the Cavs pay again with a second dagger from the outside.

Pierce had 11 rebounds, Gar-nett 10 and Rajon Rondo added 10 assists for Boston.

James was in MVP form, but this wasn’t the debut the Cavs en-visioned. Their offense sputtered as coach Mike Brown feared, and their defense didn’t do a good job on the perimeter and was missing one of its key components, guard Delonte West, who was inactive for the game and whose future seems uncertain in Cleveland.

The Salukis are ready to put the past be-hind them.

The SIU women’s basketball team is coming off of its second straight losing sea-son, going 9-18 and 5-13 in Missouri Val-ley Conference regular season play. In the conference preseason rankings that came out Tuesday at the MVC Media Day, the Salu-kis were picked to finish 10th in the confer-ence — out of 10 teams.

Head coach Missy Tiber said she wel-comes the underdog role.

“It makes it exciting; it’s going to be a challenge,” Tiber said. “(The coaching staff ) understood that when I took the position.”

Tiber said the biggest change for the team would be the new up-tempo offense and it would create more scoring opportuni-ties for the Salukis.

“The kids have really embraced it,” Tiber said. “I think they are very excited for the freedom they get with the flow of our of-fense.”

Tiber instituted the same offense in her old program, Division II Tusculum College.

At Tusculum, Tiber accumulated a record of 86-34. The team won back-to-back South Atlantic Conference championships in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons and made it to the NCAA Division II Tournament in those years.

Tiber said the biggest difference at SIU is the recruitment process.

“I can look at more players in the gym,” Tiber said. “Hopefully at some point we’ll have a product. We have to bring our pro-gram up to that level so we can go after and recruit the top talent and kids. The recruit-ing trail has been the biggest difference to this stage.”

Tiber has brought in five new players on the team, three of which are freshmen.

Tiber said she is looking for someone to come in and lead the Salukis.

“There are three seniors on the team, and two of them are newcomers,” Tiber said. “That tells you where we are at and where we need to go.”

Tiber said she looks forward to Missouri Valley Conference competition and embrac-es the challenges ahead.

Missouri State head coach Nila Milson said the conference is stronger overall.

“I truly believe the Valley as a whole is stronger this year and probably the strongest it has been in the three years I have been here,” Milson said.

Milson said out-of-conference schedules would play a big part of getting the confer-ence some national respect and more bids in the NCAA Tournament.

“It is still very, very tough to get multiple bids away from the big schools simply be-cause of a perception standpoint,” Milson said. “It doesn’t do any good to go 0-11 in non-conference. We need to schedule at the level you can schedule and still win ball-games.”

Illinois State head coach Robin Pingeton

agreed with Milson.“Scheduling is a big part of that in chang-

ing the image,” Pingeton said. “I remember just like it was yesterday that we were getting two or three bids in the NCAA. We got to not only schedule the games, but we have to

win the games.”Tiber said she

wants to help raise the image of the conference, but at the same time she wants to focus on the challenges that lay ahead.

“I think we have some challenges

ahead, but we’re all geared toward it, and we’re going to hit it full force,” Tiber said.

The women’s basketball exhibition sea-son begins Sunday against Quincy.

The Salukis will rely on a new all-con-ference player to help lift them above con-ference expectations.

The SIU men’s basketball team was picked to finish fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference in a poll conducted by league coaches, media and sports informa-tion directors during the annual media day in St. Louis Tuesday.

Along with the No. 4 ranking, SIU also had its senior guard Tony Freeman se-lected as a part of the six-person preseason

a l l -conference squad. Freeman did not play last season af-ter transferring from Iowa.

Freeman said the honor is nice, but it does not mean anything to him.

“It’s nice to get these awards after you’ve won some games,” Freeman said.

“I’m not really looking forward to these things. I just want to get some wins, as part of the team aspect.”

Freeman was named Third-Team All-Big Ten in 2007-08 during his final season at Iowa. Because of NCAA transfer regula-tions, he sat out last season. He said sitting on the bench and watching for a whole season was hard.

Freeman said putting in the effort at practice but not being able to play would be rough on any player.

“But this year, it’s whatever coach asks me — offense, defense. This year I see my-self as a playmaker that can score. But the primary focus right now is on winning,” he said.

Sophomore point guard Kevin Dillard was named an honorable mention to the all-conference team.

Freeman and his teammates will look to bounce back from a 13-18 season and topple the experienced teams ranked ahead of them.

Northern Iowa, last season’s regular sea-

son co-champions and State Farm MVC Tournament winner, was the near-unani-mous pick to win the conference title. The Panthers, who received 38 of 39 possible first-place votes, return all five of their starters from last season, and nine of 10 players overall.

Northern Iowa head coach Ben Jacobson said his squad is even better this season.

“We got a good returning group; I like what I saw during the offseason. They’re stronger, and they’re in better shape,” Ja-cobson said. “We learned a lot from play-ing Purdue last year, and hopefully our guys will carry over that lesson into this year.”

SIU head coach Chris Lowery said he was not concerned with any polls, and the preseason analysis means nothing.
