Student names released after arrestsB r ia n W a l l h e i m e r

E d it o r in C h if .f

Two SIUE students will appear in Madison County Circuit Court Feb. 5 to face charges of illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor.

Maryville Police Chief Donald W. Sonnenberg released the names of the two students and the charges Jan. 17 just as The Alestle was delivering a written

Illinois Freedom of Information Act request for the arrest records.

SIUE sophomore Jennifer Isaacs and freshman Stacey Schrand were arrested Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Maryville Knights of Columbus Hall. Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity held a party at the hall that night.

Though the two were arrested Jan. 12, Sonnenberg refused to release their names

until five days later, an apparent breach of the Freedom of Information Act. Sonnenberg had said releasing the information would “impair the investigation.”

The Freedom of Information Act states that arrest records, including names and charges, are open to public inspection.

Both Isaacs and Schrand are set to make a first appearance Feb. 5, and could enter a plea, ask

SIUE police arrested and charged two St. Louis men with residential theft in Bluff Hall last week.

According to Police Chief Richard Harrison, Justin Ashford and Terrel Jones, both 21, were charged after allegedly stealing a

wallet containing $40 and credit cards from a student’s room.

The suspects were arrested Jan. 17 and charged Jan. 18. Bond for the men was set at $50,000 each.

Ashford and Jones claimed they had come to Bluff Hall to look for a friend.

Review of the applications for a director of the National Com to Ethanol Research Pilot Plant began Monday, Jan. 14.

“The Director is responsible for the effectiveness, efficiency, and profitability of NCERPP. (He or she) will secure clients, government appropriations and both public and private grants for the facility,” said Brian E. Donnelly, chair of the NCERPP director search committee in a press release. Donnelly demands specific qualifications of the would-be director.

To be considered for the position, applicants must have a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Agricultural

Engineering, Microbiology or a closely related field.

In addition, applicants must have significant com-to-ethanol plant experience, substantial experience in representing the industry to state and federal officials and other agencies and have experience in working with research scientists.

Although the review process has begun, applications are still being accepted until the position is filled. Time is running out for hopeful applicants, however.

The director is expected to begin working Mar. 1.

What still remains a mystery to Donnelly and many other faculty members involved is how the ethanol plant will or will not affect students.

The student senate may have a full house in the cards for the first time in five months.

Students have been submitting applications for senate seats opened by the resignations of Senators Christina Flannery and Stacey Franklin at the Jan. 11 senate meeting.

“We have about 15 applications total,” Personnel Director Natalie Shubert said. “The interviews are being held this week.”

Shubert will select two of the applicants to seek approval from the senate Friday.

At the last meeting, Senator Katie Serrano was approved by the senate to fill the seat of former Senator Andrew Ravanelli.

Ravanelli resigned in December due to class schedule conflicts.

Should the senate approve two applicants Friday, it would mark the first time since the senate’s first meeting Aug. 24 that all of the senate seats will be

occupied.“Having a smaller senate has

forced the current senators to get into the roles of their duties a lot quicker and be a lot more serious,” Student Body President Dwayne Bess said.

Student Body Vice President Michelle King said she does not anticipate any problems in selecting senators this semester.

According to King, there was some confusion about appointing senators last semester revolving around parts of the constitution. The confusion was caused because some senators did not have a current copy and revisions had been made.

The revisions causing the confusion were made toward the end of Phil Gersman’s tenure as president last year.

The changes place the responsibility of selecting candidates upon the personnel director, while it was the president’s duty before Gersman’s term.

Bess said that filling vacant senate seats last semester could have been handled a lot more efficiently. Senators battled for

several weeks over the appointment o f a senator and could not decide between Serrano and Jeff Twardowski.

Franklin was taken off the senate in the fall because it was found that she did not meet the grade requirement.

It was later found that she did meet the grade requirement and she had been removed in error. She reclaimed her seat in November.

She then resigned on Jan. 11 because she was “held from my duties by no fault of mine.”

Flannery also resigned at the same meeting, citing a need to devote more attention to her classes.

King talked about future revisions that may be in store for the constitution.

“We have goals that we want to meet and one of those is revising the constitution,” King said. “So far it has been difficult getting everyone together to work on it.”

The next senate meeting will be at 2 p.m. Friday in the Goshen Lounge of the Morris University Center.

Volunteer opportunities coming to SIUER i c h a r d A. K o e r p e r

Drug tests violate basic rights

As SIUE students prepare to enter the work force, many of them will have to decide whether or not to submit to a drug test.

In the political climate fostered by the war on drugs, such testing will not be presented as a choice, but rather an inevitable component of the search for employment.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, workplace drug testing is up 277 percent since 1987, “despite the fact that random drug testing is unfair, often inaccurate and unproven as a means of stopping drug use.”

There are legitimate reasons for people to refuse to submit to a drug test, even if they feel they have nothing to hide.

Drug tests are invasive, unconstitutional and have enormous potential for abuse. A sample of urine or blood can be used to discover many private details about a person that have

nothing to do with illegal drugs.Such samples can reveal the

existence of medication for treating a heart condition, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, even AIDS. The tests can also be used to find genetic predisposition for diseases such as cancer, something to seriously consider if an applicant is expecting health coverage as part of the employment benefits. These tests can also reveal whether o r . not a potential employee is pregnant.

For those who believe employers would never abuse drug tests for such purposes, there is evidence to the contrary.

According to an ACLU brief opposing drug testing, in 1988, the Washington, D.C., Police Department admitted using urine samples collected for drug tests to screen female employees for pregnancy without the knowledge or consent o f the women tested.

Potential employees are often required to take drug tests during the application process or immediately before starting a new job.

In other words, without having received a single paycheck, people are expected to give samples of their bodily fluids to strangers, blindly trusting them to use this

extremely personal information ethically. Drug tests are particularly inadequate at the one thing they’re supposed to prevent: impairment at work.

Dr. Dale Gieringer, coordinator for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in California, has written about the problems with dependence on drug testing to discover impairment at work.

In “The Untold Costs of Drug Testing Abuse,” Gieringer wrote, “Ironically, urinalysis is considerably more tolerant of harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin, which generally wash out in two to three days at most. Other commonly used psychoactive drugs [such as] tranquilizers, and psychedelic drugs such as LSD are generally not tested for. —— — ———Above all, u r i n a l y s i s doesn’t detect A m e r i c a ’ s No. 1 drug of abuse, alcohol.”

Drug tests are humiliating and they are ineffective at i n c r e a s i n g worker safety or sobriety. It is not surprising, however, that

employers increasingly use them, as most information distributed on the effectiveness of drug testing comes from the multibillion-dollar drug-testing industry, hardly an impartial source.

Fortunately, we still have a choice and can refuse to submit to drug tests on general principle. The more people are willing to defend the right to privacy, the more likely we are to keep that right.

As we enter the job market, we should ask ourselves if we really want that potential employer to know more about our chance of getting cancer than we do.

Letters to the E ditorDear Editor:

Many years ago in one of my general education classes, the professor asked something that stuck with me. “What would it take for you to act?”

This was in reference to some controversial issue that was circulating on campus at the time. The events that tipped the scale toward action for me were set into motion long ago. The most recent of which happen to involve athletics.

I am a member of the wrestling team at SIUE, and as an athlete representing the school, I think I deserve to have a place to unwind before and after practice or to shower. I also would like a place where I can display motivating articles and other items of significant value like other teams such as volleyball, track, and basketball do.

In an ideal world, I would hope that my locker room would not be violated by anyone other than members of the wrestling team. Unfortunately, SIUE does not posses enough space to allow each team to have its own locker room.

The men’s and women’s basketball teams each have their own respective locker rooms and the volleyball team shares with women’s track and tennis. The wrestling team, men’s track and field, and baseball teams all share one locker room. In addition, faculty members are given their own locker if they request one.

I have long felt that the wrestling team is treated like a stepchild within the department of athletics. This treatment could be because wrestling is not a revenue-generating sport. I was not aware that the wrestling team, as well as every other person that uses our locker room, was a stepchild to visiting basketball teams.

Recently a note was placed on the door leading to the locker room stating, “During all home basketball games anyone normally assigned to this locker room is to use the public-locker room on the first floor.”

This went for the women’s locker room too.My blood began to boil as I thought about the desecration that

might take place in my locker room at the hands of a visiting basketball team. I could not understand why any team would need to use our locker room.

For the past nine years, any visiting team that needed to use a locker room used the ones on the first floor. The explanation given by administration for the chaange was that the visiting teams needed their privacy and the downstairs locker room was not big enough.

I could not understand why the privacy of a visiting team would be placed above that of several SIUE teams who are still at practice during basketball games. I am also not aware of any rule changes that have increased the number of people that are permitted on a basketball team.

How could a locker room that has been sufficient for nine years all of a sudden have so many problems? In addition, why did the administration choose to make sudden changes in the middle of a school year? Wouldn’t it be best to allow discussion of this topic that has angered so many within the athletic department? Is there a need for them to change their facilities?

In addition, I believe the administration acted so secretly because they did not want any negative discussion and now that the changes are in place, the administration will not change a thing; in fact, they are unwilling to change it back to the way it was.

I can only hope that this letter will open the eyes of the administration so they will allow the wrestling team to have it’s locker room back.

When Jennifer Graham couldn’t find an organization on campus to suit her, she decided to start one of her own.

Graham founded the Pre- Dental Association in the summer of 1999 for SIUE students interested in dental school.

“SIUE had no way of informing and familiarizing students about the field of dentistry. There’s the SIU Dental School in Alton and the counselors are helpful, but there was no one source of information to tap into,” Graham said.

Graham, 18 at the time, created the organization through the Kimmel Leadership Center and held the first meeting with four student members. Since then

the organization has grown to about 35 active members.

Meetings are generally presentation-oriented and take place once or twice a month. Members take tours and listen to presentations and speeches from guest speakers.

The organization also helps members make friends, share information and study for tests.

“I met one of my best friends in the group,” Graham said.

Treasurer Brooklyn Bertels said she had no idea what to do to prepare for dental school.

“You have a question you think is stupid so you don’t want to ask your adviser, and you find out 20 other people have that same question,” Bertels said.

Anyone interested in the organization can e-mail siuepredental @ hotmail.com.

ARRESTSfrom page 1

A man who answered the phone at the Maryville K. of C. Hall Wednesday but refused to identify himself said all IDs are checked before anyone is allowed in the hall.

The man, who refused to identify himself, said, however, that sometimes people bring their own alcohol or someone in the hall gives it to them.

If they get ahold of some alcohol, there’s not much we can do about it,” he said.

He added that the hall had not heard about the arrests or been contacted by M aryville police.

Davenport said that no one has looked into the possibility of moving Greek parties from the Maryville hall since the arrests.

He said M aryville is the closest place organizations can have parties because Edwardsville officials have cracked down on parties because of noise violations.

PLANT-from page 1

According to Donnelly, a lot depends on the researchers utilizing the plant. Companies and other research groups will be able to lease the plant for any length of time, days, weeks, months or years. Donnelly believes some researchers might be willing to hire students or faculty to assist them in their research. Specifically, he mentions opportunities for engineering students, especially computer and electrical, business students, and biology and chemistry students.

“There will definitely be observance opportunities,” Donnelly said.

Jacob Van Roekel, associate dean of engineering, is not so

hopeful. He feels that since the goals of the plant are more toward the chemical engineering field, a field that the engineering school does not offer, opportunities to assist researchers will be few if any.

Roekel said he does not “fully understand how the faculty and students could be involved.” He said the school might become involved in areas such as the plant’s environmental impact, assistance with its control systems and other activities that would become available while the plant is between leases.

Overall, Roekel predicts a limited involvement with little or no direct experience with the plant’s research teams.

The United States Institute of Theater Technology organization at SIUE presented the second annual Battle of the Bands Friday, Jan. 18, in Dunham Hall.

USITT organized the event to raise money for a trip to New Orleans for a national theater convention.

Thirteen bands competed and each paid a $25 entry fee to play a 20- minute set. The entry fee went toward prize money awarded to the winning bands.

USITT put on a very smooth show. Each band was raised from the orchestra pit at the end of the previous band’s performance as one of three emcee’s introduced them.

The stage was empty except for the performing band and brightly colored lights on the back wall.

USITT may have heard most of the bands for the first time and may consider screening them before their performances for the next event. Especially after hearing The JNMJ Band perform “HIV,” a remake of Weezer’s “Sweater Song.”

The Litany Theorem had to restart a song several times. Out of three, they only played one whole song. A member of the band later explained they had recently lost their drummer and bassist and were not prepared for the show.

Half Fast, sounding like a combination of Slayer and Metallica, had songs with excessive swearing that audience members found disturbing. Half Fast also did a rendition of Rancid’s “Ruby Soho” they probably shouldn’t have.

To describe all of the 13 bands would be impossible and possibly offensive, but some do deserve recognition.

Blue Shot is a band of SIUE students. The members showed professionalism and unique style. The lead vocalist, Ryan Harris, had an intense and memorable voice and the band itself demonstrated great instrumental balance and variety. They performed all original songs except for two covers, one by Nirvana and the other by The Rolling Stones, both of which would have made the original bands proud. Blue Shot will be

"In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others."

- Andre Maurois

The New Jerseys had a true stage presence and really connected with their audience. Their energetic performance was a welcome change from the hard rock that preceded them.

“We didn’t come here to win, we just came for the exposure and to play,” lead singer Josh Clitha said.

The band, Failing English, was so good many students bought its CD. Although they were the last band and they knew most votes had already been cast, the members played all the same and they played strong. With great harmonies, strong lead guitar, vocals and smart lyrics, Failing English is a band that people should have stayed to hear.

Failing English will perform Mar. 11 at the Creepy Crawl on 412 N. Tucker Blvd. in St. Louis.

Delayed Reaction was a cover band. Although many thought its performance was mediocre, the members performed especially well on Incubus’ “Wish You Were Here” and Bush’s “Machine Head.” They also showed a sense of humor when one audience member yelled out, “Cover band!” and the lead vocalist replied with “Yeah! We’re a damn good cover band!”

Underneath won the first place prize of $200. The second-place prize of $50 went to The JNMJ Band. Delayed Reaction and Blue Shot tied for third place and split the $25 prize.

Lead singer of The JNMJ Band Jason Huot said he believed they probably won because of the song “HIV.”

“That’s why we play that song, everyone loves it,” Huot said.

The Battle of the Bands was fairly successful, although USITT may want to screen the contestants next year before allowing anyone with an instrument and $25 to get on stage. Brook BertelsMlestlb

With flu season at its peak, Susan Grimes, head nurse at Health Service, urges students to get flu shots.

Many students recently took advantage of a walk-in clinic at Health Service to get their immunizations for free.

Amy Hart, a psychology major at SIUE said, “I received the flu shot, but this was my first year. I usually do not get sick.”

Because college campuses are largely populated and the risk of contact with infected people is high, college students are prone to catching the flu.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the flu is a highly ■contagious viral illness spread by contact with an infected person or the airborne virus. The flu is often confused with the common cold and gastrointestinal problems. Flu symptoms include headache, body aches, fatigue and fever, usually from 100 to 103 degrees.

Lauranne Cryer, a sociology student, said, “Because of the changes in the weather, I think the flu is going to be bad this year. Me and my roommate were just talking about getting the flu shot.”

Students are in constant exposure to the various strains of the virus and are very susceptible because the usual college diet lacks proper nutrients to help strengthen the immune system.

The CDC encourages people to frequently wash their hands and avoil exposure with infected people to combat the illness. If diagnosed with the flu, it is important to drink plenty of water and get ample rest.

Symptoms can be relieved by over-the-counter medications. But the majority of non-prescription medications generally will not shorten the illness but they will control most of the symptoms. The virus just has to run its course. Usually the flu lasts about three to four days. If symptoms persist, students are encouraged to see a doctor so the illness does not lead to a more serious bacterial infection, such as pneumonia.

It is important to eat right to avoid catching the flu. Vitamin C is a supplement that is essential for a healthy diet. Vitamin C can be found in most fresh fruits and vegetables. A multivitamin helps ensure that all nutritional needs are met.

College students are reluctant to spend money on well-balanced meals. Pizza rolls and macaroni and cheese may seem like healthy meals, but they do not contain all of the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy diet and immune system. Multivitamins can add essential nutrients that may be lacking in the diet of a typical college student.

Anyone can fall victim to the flu. Washing hands frequently and eating healthy foods will decrease the chances of contracting the virus.

For information about the flu, its symptoms or vaccines, contact the CDC Web site at www.cdc.gov/nip/diseases/ or Health Service in Rendleman Hall, Room 0214. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Women's basketball looks to move upA m y G r a n t

A s s is t a n t S p o r t s E d it o r

With the third place spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference at stake, the women’s basketball team will take on two more conference opponents at home this week.

The Lady Cougars will go into the game against the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thursday tied with Bellarmine University for third place in the conference.

Both teams have an 8-3 GLVC record, but Bellarmine has the edge with an overall record of 12-4 and a four-game winning streak in hand.

In SIUE’s first game against Wisconsin-Parkside this season, SIUE junior forward Ruth Kipping shot a jum per with 4.4 seconds remaining to put the Lady Cougars ahead 55-53 and secure the win.

“W isconsin-Parkside is an improved team and playing

better,” SIUE head coach Wendy Hedberg said. “But hopefully since we’re at home it shouldn’t be that close.”

As W isconsin-Parkside’s shortest player at 5 feet 6 inches, Michele Pickering is leading the Lady Rangers with 52 assists and 28 steals.

SIUE will take on another conference opponent Saturday as it faces St. Joseph’s College.

After starting December with three consecutive wins, St. Joseph’s is looking to end a nine- game losing streak.

The team has fallen to 4-13 overall and plunged into ninth place in the conference.

The Lady Cougars haven’t played since the game last week against Quincy University. Kipping finished the game with 13 points and six rebounds.

Senior forward Jill Johnson returned to SIU E’s lineup wearing a face mask after missing one game.

She suffered a broken nose

in a game against Kentucky Wesleyan College earlier this month.

“Out of everybody playing, with a broken nose and a mask on, for her to get 10 boards and play defense, I was very happy with her play,” Hedberg said.

Quincy made it a game in the second half and the Lady Cougars were barely able to keep the lead.

The Lady Hawks senior guard Heather Hall shot a three- pointer to put Quincy within two, 31-29, with just over 11 minutes left.

SIUE managed to pull ahead, but found Quincy in close pursuit again when Quincy sophomore guard Lisa Farrell scored on a jum per to close the Lady Cougars’ lead to 41-40 with five minutes remaining.

SIUE kept shooting and managed to come out with a 55- 48 victory in front of a home crowd of more than 500 on “Pack the Gym” night.

The Cougar wrestling team continues to gain wins, confidence and experience as the 2001-2002 season rolls on.

SIUE competed in two meets over the weekend at Eastern Illinois University and a dual meet with the University of Illinois and M issouri Valley University in the Vadalabene Center.

The Cougars traveled to Charleston Sunday to meet the Panthers of Eastern Illinois.

The Cougars fell to the Panthers in a close 29-19 loss.

SIUE sophomore Matt Tomanovich posted a win at the 141-pound division, pinning the Panthers’ Nick Cirrincione in 6 minutes, 40 seconds.

The 151-pound SIUE junior

Nathan Graumenz also pinned his Eastern opponent Andy Coyle in 3:49.

SIUE sophomore Omari Johnson defeated Eastern’s Sam Smith 1-0 at 165 pounds.

SIUE’s junior heavyweight Aaron Weins defeated his Panther opponent Joe Gleissner, 13-5.

But the Cougars suffered six losses and lost the overall match.

Friday night the Cougars had some success against Missouri Valley gaining a 30-19 win.

Cougar senior Manny Herrera posted a 4-3 win at 133 pounds over Missouri Valley’s Tyson Biddle.

Graumenz posted a win by pinning Patrick Giangrosso in a time of 2:55 at 149 pounds.

Johnson claimed a 5-2 win over Missouri Valley’s Justin Erickson at 165 pounds.

Cougar basketball hopes to start winning streak in conference play

The men’s basketball team clawed its way back from a 19- point deficit to beat Quincy University 82-78 last week at “Pack the Gym” night in the Vadalabene Center.

Senior forward Marty Perry led the Cougar charge with 15 second-half points and 20 points overall as SIUE jumped up into the eighth slot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

With the win over the Hawks, now 2-8 in the conference and 5-11 overall, and with the University of Missouri- St. Louis’ loss at Lewis

University, the Cougars were able to put themselves into contention for conference tournament.

Only the top eight teams will play in the tournament.

“Obviously we are really pleased we were able to pull it out,” SIUE head coach Jack Margenthaler said. “You don’t get the opportunity to come back when you’re 19 down twice in a basketball game and be able to come back and win a game.”

The Cougars had two halves of nearly opposite play. In the first half, SIUE converted on just one of 14 shots from 3- point range.

SIUE was down by as many as 19 points twice during the game but moved within 12, 41- 29, at halftime.

In the second half, the Cougars made their move.

SIUE took a momentary lead with 4:41 left in the game on a 3-pointer from junior guard Garrett Thomas.

The Hawks would retake the lead just seconds to put Quincy up by one, 68-67.

The two teams exchanged baskets until Perry hit a 3- pointer which gave the Cougars the lead for good.

“The effort in the secondhalf was there and the teamreally did a good job,”Margenthaler said.

“I was happy with the win against Quincy,” Hedberg said. “But I wasn’t happy with the way we played. We have to play better than that.”

WRESTLING----from page 8

SIUE sophomore Mike Davis defeated Mario Thomas, 6- 3 at 174 pounds.

Senior Zach Stephens claimed his win at 184 pounds with a 3-1 overtime win.

Weins rounded out the Cougar victories by pinning Missouri Valley’s Adam Nuru in 5:23.

The Cougars only lost three matches to Missouri Valley.

Illinois came into the meet No. 15 in the nation and proved why it is among the top in the country, claiming a 44-3 victory over the Cougars.

Stephens posted the lone Cougar victory defeating the Fighting Illini’s Ben Hay 5-3.

The win moved Illinois to 7-1. With losses to Illinois and SIUE, Missouri Valley moved to 4-8.

COUGARS--------from page 8

SIUE hit 20 of 27 free throws for the game while Quincy struggled from the line, hitting 13 of 24.

The Cougars, now at 3-8 in the GLVC, 7-10 overall, will play host to a pair of home games this week.

“We’re in line now,” Margenthaler said of moving up in the conference. “With nine games left, two here at home are coming up which are very important. Before the Quincy game, I told our players these next three home games are pivotal in what is going to happen a month from now. We got one last Thursday, which was tough to get, and now we have two more to get this week.”

Thursday the Cougars will face the University of Wisconsin- Parkside, which ranks fifth in the GLVC and is 6-5, 10-7 overall.

St. Joseph’s College, ranked last in the conference, 1-10, 4-13 overall, will come to the Vadalabene center Saturday.

Both games are set for 7:30p.m.

SIUE fell to Wisconsin- Parkside 70-64 in December and hopes for a different outcome this time.

The Cougars will battle St. Joseph’s for the first time this year.

Indianapolis is coming off their first GLVC win of the season, having defeated the University of Southern Indiana 92-87 Saturday.
