Student survey says Yearwood is the one UB places bid to bring country singer in for upcoming concert By LAUREN KRAFT Activities editor

The University Board has made a bid for country si nger Trisha Yearwood to perform during the spri ng concert after student survey results were in favor of lhe performer.

UB Chair Tom Ryan said no response has been received from Yearwood's agent as of Sunday.

Ryan said the survey revealed that of the 200 students who voted, 140 are in favor and 60 are opposed to Yearwood performing this spring.

The poll was compiled by student response to a half-page ad ran in The Daily Eastern News. which asked if students would be willing to pay $15 per ticket to hear her to perform April 4.

Yearwood is a country singer who Ryan said is strong in the college market.

Wheeler said she tries to vol­unteer at every blood drive and that everyone can volunteer. There are jobs such as escorting people to sit down and other var­ious tasks that allow volunteers to help.

Faculty evaluates integrated core By DAN OCHWAT Staff writer

The Council for Academic Affairs Thursday raised questions and expanded discussion on whether to change the integrated core.

During their weekly meeting, CAA members assessed the inte­grated core and addressed issues that surfaced during the focus groups' discussions. The focus groups were comprised of 60 facul­ty participants in the integrated core.

The purpose of the focus group is to address general education issues by creating and circulating questions about the core to students and faculty.

The three main topics spoken about were: • the writing intensive element in the core. • the analysis of the traits and abil­ities for general education and how they function. • the involvement of faculty in preparing methods with which to

teach the general education pro­gram.

In regards to the writing inten­sive element, Mary Durkin Wohlrabe said that the CAA's con­cerns lie in the fact that it has yet to be implemented into the core.

"This is extremely important," Wohlrabe said. "We've got to make it work; we have to make it work."

She also posed the questions, "How do you define writing inten­sive, and what courses should be writing intensive?"

CAA member Bill Addison said that developing and polishing writ­ing skills may be more important to some core classes than to others, but questioned whether all faculty should include the writing require­ment as part of the core curriculum.

Panel members said that some writing elements will definitely be implemented into the core curricu­lum but to what extent was unde­termined.

The CAA also questioned how to analyze Lhc: 1rai1s and abiliti~ in the general education program. which are listed in the undergradu-

ate catalog, as well as which ones should be emphasized.

The nine traits and abilities are in the form of a list that details the specific objectives for the general education program at Eastern.

The traits include literacy. rea­soning ability, quantitative analysis. historical consciousness, scientific awareness, social responsibiliry, aesthetic literacy, multicultural awareness and intellectual curiosi­ty.

CAA member Jill Owen said that some of the traits and abilities are interrelated and overlapped, which may cause the list to change.

Owen shared some possible ney. traits and abilities mentioned by the focus groups, such as gender, ethics. geographical awareness, computer literacy and visual literacy.

The involvement of faculty with the core and the preparation that they receive for teaching the core was also questioned by the CAA.

··How do we introduce faculty to the intcgnnect core, ru1d how do we get them committed.?" :Addi on asked.

Referendum may prolong decision BY RYAN HIWGOSS Staff writer

A second referendum on Student Senate executive compensation methods may be drafted for the next campus-wide election, said senate speaker Doug Stepansk.')'.

Currently, executive members are given full-tuition compensation and are paid minimum wage for time spent in the office during the summer months.

In Spring of 1997 students voted to replace the cur­rent form of executive compensation, wherein the stu­dent body president, Speaker of the Senate and student

4 vice presidents for academic, public, financial and stu­dent affairs are giyeo full-tuition waivers. Sixty percent"' of voters supported alternative compensation methods.

Two weeks ago at a senate meeting an audience member reminded senate members that "the issue of executives' compensation is still out there," according to senate member Melissa Girten. The audience mem­ber was told che issue would be looked into.

A senate subcommittee drafted two proposals of alternative forms of compensation last semester based

on the results from the referendum. Both proposals were defeated.

"The issue of executive compensation was well covered last semester,'' Stepansky said. "Several pieces of legislation were \\ ritten. but all of them failed because of senate votes er due to poor construction.··

"The senate will have to look at the issue because the Apportionment Board has-reCenlly-Oi~ussed c!u­ting some money budgeted to Student Senate," Harri~ said.

submitted as one, Ryan said. He said he changed the format because he felt by dividing the UB 's budget proposal, money was lost

"UB has probably taken the largest hit." Zielinski said.

"I' m sure everyone (will have) to cut a little money," Zielinski said.

"I think that's an unfair disad­vantage to us," Ryan said.

Zielinski said he is happy with the budgets because they are all low.

Ryan said the concert budget has not effected the overall UB budget

Platelers are donated through the· process of apheresis. Apheresis involves taking blood from the donor and slowly cen­trifuging it until the platelets rise up and are filtered out, said

The Blood Drive Committee meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday in the Sullivan Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Zielinski said some money had to be cut from all boards in past years because the student activity fee had not been raised. He said the UB received more budget cuts than other boards.

"What they tried to do was to submit a bottom line budget of what they needed," Zielinski said. "We are very happy with all the boards. I'm really hoping this is a trend that will continue."

Zielinski said $30,000 will still have to be cut from the budgets.

"The concert budge;t ha<l not one thing to do with next year's budget," Ryan said.

Ryan said the only way that the concert budget will effect the over­all budget is if the loan is not paid back in three years.

Proposed budget cuts wouldn't be 111i.~sed by Senate Thi! Apportionment Board is preparing its

budget recommendations for the next fis­cal year. At this time the board looks at the budgets from the various fee-funded boards such as the Student Government, Dramatic Performances, University Board, and the Division of Sports and Recreation.

Amongst the contemplated cuts is $2,224.80 from the Student Government budget.

Editorial The cut would be made from funds used for summer pay for execu­

tive board members. During the summer, exec­utive board members can receive up to 48 hours of minimum wage pay for doing office work.

The work includes thipgs like fj.ling paper­work and preparing for the next semester. Steve Zielinski, student vice president for financial affairs, said Student Government has only used $406 of the $2,224.80 for this fiscal year. During the 1996-1997 fiscal year Student Government spent about $1,000 of the summer money.

The AB has a couple of choices when it makes a budget recommendation. The AB can cut alf $2,224.80 from Student Government's budgets or the AB can reduce the amount of money allocated for summer pay for execu­tives.

The AB should reduce the amount of money allocated for the summer Student Government. By reducing the amount allocated, the AB can redistribute the funds to some other event for students like a comedian or speaker. Even Kirn Harris, student body president, suggested the amount of the funds be reduced to at least cover summer traveling expenses for the exec­utive members.

It isn't as though student executive board members aren't receiving any compensation. All executive board members receive tuition waiver for their work in Student Government.

By providing some funds for traveling expenses, AB isn't hurting the pocketbooks of executives who are sacrificing their time for the public good. The reduction would also free up money for other fee-funded boards and pro­vide other services to the student body.

II, British Prime Minister Chamberlain visited with Adolf OLATOYE BAIYEWE Hitler to offer appeasement. Regular columnist However this diplomatic effort did not stem Hitler's desire, or maybe ambition for the domination of Western Europe or his Aryan goal. six million Jews and hun­dreds of thousands of soldiers from colonial Britain, France, the United States and others lost their Jives in their campaign to contain Hitler. Even Gennany's ally at the outbreak of the war, the former Soviet Union under Stalin, threw its weight on the side of the most disheartening event of this century, until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union.

At the end of the war, over 20 million people were dead or maimed. The United States is now positioned on the other side of the divide. What do we do, placate our allies and go along with their compromising stance or go it alone? Th.is is the big question. The recent public pronouncement from Moscow by Yelstin and the defense minister is a threat that must not be taken seriously. President Clinton must now begin educating this country on why it is important to finish the unfinished business in lraq. Chemical and biological weapons are not tootsie-rolls for children to play with. The larger question is what will the late 20th century be remem­bered for, a Saddam unleashing chemical and biological weapons of mass destrucnon in the Gulf, the Middle East and maybe continental USA?

A word of caution. Our Middle Eastern allies want balance in the region and for us to impartial, all UN resolutions on Israel and Iraq must be championed rather than taking sides. The belligerency of the Israeli Prime Minister is the reason why Arab states are nol lining up with us on Iraq, particularly in public. They fear the resennnent that might be voiced by their people.

Why does a developing country like Iraq after 2 wars (with

The stalemate must be resolved now for any U.S. legiti­macy in the region.

The Saudi authorities refuse to make available to the U.S. government results of their internal probe on who was behind the bombing and massacre of American servicemen. Our servicemen cannot be put on the front-line for the defense of a government. albeit the House of Saudi, if that family is not ready to call it as it is.

Oil may be important to us and it is becoming a thorny subject that our allies don't have a clue to. They want growth and profit. Where will they or their citizens spend the money? In hell? This administration must drive this message home our allies. Enough is enough. If Saddam annihilates his brethren. it will not only be his fault but that of the world.

America should put aside about a billion dollars as incen­tive and compensation to any and all Iraqi scientists that are willing to come over to sanity.

Eastern·s Blood Drive Committee will kickoff its fifth annual blood drive today in compe­tition w11h Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

The drive wi ll be held in Stevenson and Thomas Halls from 1 to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and from I 0 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday.

Students can donate whole blood or apheresis, a process through which platelets are taken from the blood.

Apheresis is becoming more popular because of the advantages it offers for patients and the donator.

Apheresis is beneficial mainly to cancer patients who have a low platelet count in their blood because of treatments.

The symptoms some people experience after givi ng blood include dizziness, nausea and light headiness. The side eff~ts are pri­marily caused by the blood working to redistribute itself. With apheresis however, the blood does not have to

Apheresis will be offered only in Thomas Hall on Tuesda) and Wedne!>da) . Those wishing to do this must do so by appointment. Appointments can be made either by calling 1-800-GIVEBLOOD and asking to donate through apheresis at the EIU Blood Drive or by going to make an appointment in Thomas Hall early Tuesday morning.

Eastern has won the SIU vs EIU competition for the past three years, despite Southem's higher student population.

Chris Kiefer, the president of the EIU Blood Drive Committee, said that Eastern can win the blood drive competition this year "if we have a really good turnout"

"I get joy from knowing that I'm helping to save a life and I think that's the general feeling among the other committee members coo," Kiefer said.

Students wishing to donate must weigh at least 110 pounds. They cannot have received a tattoo in the last year or have been pierced in the last three months.

Harry Caray in critical condition after fall RANCHO MIRAGE. Calif.

AP) - Harry Cara} - lhe beloved Chicago Cubs broadcaster known for his exuberant " Holy cow!" -collapsed at a nightclub while having a Valentine's Day dinner with his wife.

Caray, 78, was listed in critical but stable condition Sunday at Eisenhower Medical Center. Hospital spokesman Jim Ellis said Caray's wife, Dutchie, asked that no further detail s be released.

Caray's stepdaughter, Tunie WeJls, said doctors said he defi­nitely did not have a stroke.

Dutchie Caray told WGN rad­io, the Cubs' flagship station, that her husband collapsed Sacurday night after he leaned on a table that gave way. Wells told Chicago radio station WMAQ that Caray put his hand on the

table when he stood to acknowl­edge the crowd after someone pointed out he was in the restau­rant.

"He simply put his hand on the table, probably just for balance ... and the table was not secured, and it came up and knocked him," she said. "[ do not believe that be suffered a heart attack and fell. I believe he fell, and if his heartbeat stopped it was because of the trauma to the head."

Caray's son-in-law, Coley Newell, told The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Mundelein, ILL, that Caray was still unconscious but was breathing on his own.

'The feeling amongst the fami­ly is that there's no grave concern yet" because he is stable, Newell said. He said family members are hopeful Caray will survive.

"Anybody that knows Harry knows how tough he il>. ·· Newell said a neurosurgeon would t>e attending to Caray.

Caray and his wife have a home in neighboring Palm Springs during the offseason.

A report of Caray's collapse was first confirmed by nightclub general manager Peter Marin and Ron Marino, a former scout for the Kansas City Royals who knows Caray.

"Everybody was stunned," Marino said. "It took awhile for the paramedics to get there. They worked on him for a long time, but there were no signs of life."

Paramedics said they cook a man in full cardiac arrest from the Basin Street West nightclub to Eisenhower Medical Center at about 10: 10 p.m. However. hos­pital officials would not confirm

Caray was that person. ··we had about seven ambu­

lances come in here about the same time, and four were cardiac arrest cases," Ellis said.

Cubs general manager Ed Lynch told WON radio the team is going to sign a big card and send it to the Caray at the hospi­tal.

"Harry's got the knack of be­ing like John Q. Public, the fan, up there in the booth calling the game like any fan would," Lynch said. "He doesn't call the game, he talks to the people watching the game."

The Cubs shared the worst record in the National League last season, and Lynch recalled how outspoken Caray was about the team.

' 'Harry will come up to me and say, 'When are you going co get

some ballplayers?' and aJI I can do is laugh." Lynch said.

Caray had a stroke in J 987 and cut back his broadcasting last year.

After the stroke, and especially in recent years. he has made an increasing number of on-air mis­takes - misidentifying players and mispronouncing words.

Nevertheless, fans love him, and he returns the favor.

After every Cubs victory he hollered "Cubs win! Cubs win!"

During every seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field he led fans in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Caray has been a broadcaster for 53 years and is in the Hall of Fame. Before joining the Cubs, he was with the St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland A's and Chicago White Sox.

Bulls whip Pistons CH ICAGO (AP) - With

Dennis Rodman being punished for missing practice, Toni Kukoc got to jump back into a role he relishes for the Chicago Bulls.

Kukoc, forced back into the sixth man role last month when Scottie Pippen returned from a foot injury, got to start Sunday and scored 14 of his 22 points in the second half as the Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 99-90.

" I found out five minutes before the game I was going to start, that was it," said Kukoc, once voted the NBA's lop sixth man award.

Kukoc said he's always pre­ferred to start because he gets into the game ·s flow quicker.

"It doesn't make any differ­ence the way I approach the game. I'm trying to do the things bes t l can on court. I guess when I'm starting, they are just easier, good things hap­pen early and I'm havmg a bet-

ter game," he said. Rodman missed practice

Sunday for the second time in a month. He was sent home fro m New Jersey on Jan. 23 after missing a shootaround fol­lowing a late night on the town.

R odman, wh o entered the game late in the first quarte r and finished with no points and eight rebounds in 21 minutes, said he did not make Sunday's shootaround because he lost the keys to his pickup truck.

"I have o ne set now. I lost the other last night,., he said.

Rodman called to say he couldn't make practice but still didn't start. Bulls coach Phil Jackson said Rodman's excuse ''was not valid enough."

.. He didn't show up at prac­tice and we think that is impor­tant.·· Jackson said.

Michael Jordan scored 21 points and picked up the rebounding slack with 12.

sons he used Hill in the game was the type of game it was. It was a fast-tempo game which favored the quicker guys on the Eastern team.

"It was a track meet out there

and our big guys aren't runners, they're shot puuers," he said.

Hill was one of three Eastern players to score 20 points or more. Owens Jed Eastern with 26 points, while Kaye added 25 points and

Track teams take second, sixth at weekend meets By DAVID PUMP Staff writer

One good weekend does not make a sea­son: just ask women's track coach John Craft following a second-place finish at Southern Illinois. Saturday.

Michigan. Western Michigan Michigan State and Central Michigan. Notre Dame. Marquette. Detroit-Mercy. Loyola and Bradley were seven through eleven.

··we were flat and we didn't focus on the right things:· Akers said. "We were physi­cally ready. but not mentally prepared."

Throwers Keisha Dunlap and Rachel Schwartzkopf finished in second and sixth in the 20 pound weight. respecth ely. Vicki Sleezer captured first in the pentathalon with a final score of 3062 point-;. Danyel Watters was fourth in the high jump clear­ing 5 feet .5 inches.

Moroney, Chad White and high jumper Ruffner Francis had an impressive weekend for the Panther's. Moroney finished second in the mile. second in the 3000- meter run and anchored the fifth place distance med­ley relay team along with Cory Finn. Marcus Carter and Ryan Boyles.

"You can't win on a given Saturday and carry that over to the co the next week," he said. "When it comes time to compete you have to do it all over again."

While the men had a letdown following a successful weekend at Indiana. the women continued to make team improvements. Leading the way for the Lady Panther's were; Candy Phillips. Marissa Bushuc and Susan Langer.

The mile relay team of Lisa Klingler, Jonica Craft, Serra Morton and Gina Annyanontakoon were third.

Sara Fithian recorded a personal best ume of 20 minutes 23.31 seconds in the 5000-meter run. Kathy Hults didn't place but showed a 6.12 second improvement in the 800-meter run and Phoinix McCoy took sixth in the hurdles.

"Todd had an outstanding weekend - he was in a zone" Akers said. ''Moroney ran a really gutsy race (in the distance medley) but got knocked down in the end."

Compere is what the the Lady Panther's did collecting 80 points and second place in the Salukt Invitational. Eastern trailed first place Southeast Missouri by 31 points but defeated conference foes Tennessee-Martin and Murray State. Tennessee-Martin (50 points) finished fourth and Murray State (24 points) ended up in eighth. .

Phillips finished with a double win in the 55-meter hurdles (8.28 seconds) and in the high jump clearing 5 feet 4.25 inches. Bushue captured the long jump with a leap of 17 feet 10.25 inches and took second in the triple jump (37 feet 11.25 inches.)

"It was an important race for Sara and she was able to get in there and score," Craft said. "That's the name of the game, getting in there and scoring when it counts."

In the 400 meter-dash White was com­peting with Clement Chukwu, who is the fastest in the nation. White finished third after being blocked in by Chukwu who was protecting a fellow teammate, Akers said.

McBride competed in the 800-mecer run and finished fifth in the mile. Aundra Williams had a personal best in the 400 and Francis finished third in the high jump. Joe Flanigan took home a sixth place finish in the triple jump and Jimmy Simms was fifth in the long jump.

"We had significant performances going into the conference meet," Craft said. "Now we have to get ready for the Ohio Valley Conference meet."

"Marissa is not a I 00 percent but she is competing and did a admirable job," Craft said. "It was a nice weekend and double for her."

The men were given a boost by Cameron Mabry. second in the 55-mecer dash, fourth in the triple jump and eighth in the 200-meter dash. Langer was second in the 3000-mcter run

~md Erika Coull-Parcnty sixth. "It\ not a fast track and it was his third 55 of the afternoon ... Akers said. "Cameron was a very busy camper this weekend."

Tr ~1ichigan,

.. Sue had a -.ignificant improvement fin­ishm~ 6 seconds faster than she had previ­ously run ... Craft said. Along with Mabry, Akers said, Todd

Pole vaulter's Tom Marchense and Dan Stone were second and eighth respectively. Throwers Jason Waldschmidt and John Davis finished seventh and eighth in the 20 lb. weight throw.

Men's team falls to Murray State Thursday night. .. By MATT WILSON Associate sports editor

The Panther basketball team suffered its first conference home loss of the season, as it lost the battle for first place in the Ohio Valley Conference against Murray State 74-64 Thursday night.

"We are here representing EIU so we have to do the best we can, and tonight we didn't do it.'" Panther senior guard Rick Kaye said.

With the loss, Eastern dropped co 12-3 in conference action and will likely take the No. 2 seed in the OVC Tournament.

... Then rebounds for 94-83 victory over Skyhawks By MATT WILSON Associate sports editor

The Panther basketball team lost the battle for first place in the Ohlb Vatley Cdnt'etetice ag:llnst Murray State, but came back to defeat Tennessee-Martin on Saturday.

Just when things were looking bad in the 95-83 victory over Tennessee-Martin, a freshman

Murray held on to its firs t­place standing, as it increased its record to 13-2.

Eastern had a poor shooting night, as it was able to only hit 24 percent of its shots in the first half. The Panthers even had more trouble from beyond the arc, as they were 2-for-13 in the first half for 15 percent.

··we had open looks," Kaye said. "This was by far the worst shooting night ever."

With the loss to Murray, Eastern now has to hope for more than winning the rest of its games.

"'We don't control our own des­tiny, but we don't quit," Panther head coach Rick Samuels said. "We thought we were out of it after the loss to Middle, but on that Saturday we were right back in it.

Eastern saw its first lead of the game after Hill hit a three pointer with five minutes left to put the Panthers up 38-36. Eastern was unable to hold onto the lead, as lhe Skyhawks took a 49-46 lead into halftlrtte.

Eastern also found its troubles from the foul line, as it went l 4-for-23 in the second half from the charity stripe.

Eastern missed the shots at the wrong times also. Down 48-47, Panther junior guard Jack Owens missed two free throws that could have given Eastern the lead.

Kaye also missed a couple of key free throws down the stretch.

"We're the two best free throw shooters on the team, and when you gel fouled you should make every o-ne," Kaye said. "You should make every one; nobody's guarding you."
