TheCharleston Area Chamber ofCommerce and the League ofWomen Voters sponsored theforum.“The most critical time is thenext 90 days,” Bough said. Themayor and the city council willhave to hire a city manager andenumerate what his or her dutieswill be.Cougill said the city councilpassed an ordinance spelling outthe city manager’s duties. Underthis ordinance the city managerwill handle the day to day business of the city.The city manager’s duties willbe based on the policies andpriorities of the city council,Cougill said. Under a city manager form of government, themayor will act as a consensusbuilder for all the different groupsin Charleston, Cougill said.Cougill said the mayor alsoshould support the efforts of ColesTogether and talk to people whoare interested in bringingbusinesses or industry to Charleston.Bough said he would leave theproblem of bringing businesses toCharleston completely to theCharleston Chamber of Commerce and Coles Together.“The business community hasto sell it,” Bough said.Cougill and Bough disagreedover how to handle parkingproblems around the town square.Cougill said Charleston’s “meter maid” will be getting a handheld computer and the new 911system’s computer equipment.This hand-held computer willallow the “meter maid” to keeptrack of the cars that have beenparked around the square for morethan two hours and ticket thedrivers.“The tickets are a good sourceof revenue but they do not solvethe problem,” Bough said. “Whenthere is a court date you cannotcome close to the square.”The city council should consider building a parking garage oracquiring new parking lots, BoughSee MAYOR page 2SARAH WONG/Associate photo editorHenry Bough, Charleston mayoral candidate, answers a question from the audience during a publicforum Tuesday night while Mayor Dan Cougill awaits his turn at the microphone.Eight vie for council positionsBy BRITT CARSONCity editorThe eight candidates vying for city council agreedat a public forum that adult entertainment should beheavily regulated in Charleston.The candidates: Marge Knoop, John Bell, KeithPerry, Bruce Scism, Ted Hartley, John Winnett, GregStewart and Larry Rennels participated in a forumsponsored by the Charleston Area Chamber ofCommerce and the Coles County League of WomenVoters.The candidates are running for four commissionerpositions in the April 1 Municipal Elections.The Charleston City Council passed a strip clubordinance in December 1996 regulating adultentertainment in Charleston. The ordinance specifiedcertain areas in the city the businesses could exist.“The environment the adult entertainmentbusinesses create is detrimental to the community,”Stewart said. “The ordinance was passed to protectthe community.”Winnett said he also supported the strip clubordinance and was opposed to any adultentertainment businesses in Charleston.“I wish they had never come here,” Winnett said.Hartley said he had past experiences with adultSee COUNCIL page 2Keynote speaker focuses on breaking language barriersBy TRACY BROWNStaff writerKAORI HAZAMA/Staff photographerDr. Suzette Hadin Elgin, a psycholinguistic expert, talksabout cross-cultural communication to about 75 studentsat Lumpkin Auditorium Tuesday night.People look at words today the same way people looked atthe environment years ago, said a speaker today to a group ofabout 75.Suzette Hadin Elgin, a psycholinguistic expert, discussedthe connection between language and the problems in today’ssociety during her speech “Cross-cultural and Cross-genderCommunications: Building Language Bridges over RealityGaps.”“When I was a child, we did not talk about the environmentbecause each of us believed that it made no difference,” Elginsaid. “Our own personal contribution was so small that it didnot matter.”She said people today are doing the same thing with the“language environment.”“The language environment is just as important as thephysical environment. The language environment can be bothharmful and helpful,” said Elgin.If people continue to ignore the problems that we have withlanguage then we will continue to have world hunger, AIDSand global warming, she said.Elgin compares the language environment to a ball of yarn.“You have a big ball of yarn that has just become a horriblemess,” she said. “Each day you could pull at each knot or youcould just pull at one loose end and the whole thing will comeapart easily.”Elgin said that the language environment can be looked atthe same way. People try to get rid of violent language in thewrong way and therefore violence does not go away.“The government spends too much money on violentpeople. The government does not have enough money tohelp pregnant ladies before the birth of the baby,” Elgin says,“but it has enough money to keep teenagers and adults lockedup for 20,000 a year and they have medical coverage by lawfor life.”Elgin said that the key to stopping violence is stopping“hostile language.”Hostile language is using aggressive and sometimes violentlanguage toward other people, she said.Major consequences, such as violence, exist because ofhostile language, Elgin said.“Hostile language is the heart of violence,” she said.Elgin said, “Hostile language is also an inherited behaviorhanded down from generation to generation.”She said children in abusive families say the verbal abusethey received was worse than the physical abuse.The benefits to not using hostile language are better healthSee SPEAKER page 2

2Wednesday, March 26, 1997The Daily Eastern NewsKey defendant blames EdgarSPRINGFIELD (AP) – A key defendant in astate contract scandal contends in a new round oftelephone transcripts that Gov. Jim Edgar is “culpable” and suggests it could lead “right up to Edgar’slap.’’Edgar press secretary Mike Lawrence again onTuesday vehemently denied the governor did anything wrong in the federal case and labeled indicteddefendant Michael Martin, who made the statements, as an “out-and-out liar.’’ The taped excerptsof Martin’s conversations surfaced in court papersfiled by attorneys for Martin, a former owner ofManagement Services of Illinois Inc. and a majorcampaign contributor to Edgar.The latest excerpts of September conversationsinclude one in which Martin says he has a “lot ofsurprises we can pull out of our hat’’ and “about ahalf a dozen bombshells.’’Martin and three others were indicted in Augustin an alleged scheme to bilk the state Public AidDepartment out of more than 7 million on statecontracts held by MSI. Martin has pleaded innocent.He has called for the case to be dismissed or thetapes to be suppressed.Way Back 345-7849Wednesday No Cover!70’s and 80’s Music 1.65 16oz.DraftsLunchSoup & SandwichVeggie or chickenquesadillaMiller Lite,Bud LiteGin Mixers 3.75 3.95Dinner 2.25Express Lunch Daily 5.50Beef Lt.

At themost, only 400-600 students leaveCharleston during the weekend,Bough said.This does not significantly hurtretail business in Charleston on theweekends, he said.COUNCILCougill said the communityshould work with Eastern studentsto develop community activitiesthey would be interested in.However, Cougill said this wouldnot be easy.“We can’t impose what we thinkis fun on the students,” Cougillsaid.Bough and Cougill disagreedabout how to enforce city buildingordinances.The city should concentrate onenforcing the ordinances it alreadyhas, Cougill said. City workers arealready responsive to the complaints of Charleston residents,Cougill said.Bough said many city ordinances need to be reorganized andenforced.“A lot of the things we have inplace are totally inadequate,”Bough said.The reorganization of city ordinances should take place alongwith the changeover to a city manager form of government, he said.Full & Part-time study availableeach Fall & Spring semesterAdmissions Office511 NE Greenleaf StreetPeoria IL 61603-3783 Ph: (309) 655-2596Robert ResslerSpeaker onSerial Killersfrom page oneentertainment issues when he lived in another townin 1993.“The businesses are within the law, but we canmake things very uncomfortable for the people whorun the establishments,” Hartley said. “We can makethings not easy for them and they eventually leave.”Rennels said the city should look into every optionthey have to eliminate adult entertainment businessesfrom Charleston. “We should do whatever we canunder the limits of the law to control or eliminateadult entertainment businesses.”Scism said the law prohibits the city from banningthe establishments, but said he fully supported thestrip club ordinance.The candidates took written questions from theaudience and also addressed the issue of a community center in Charleston.Bell, a member of the Recreation Board, said thecity needs the community center. “We are responsible for providing a place for our residents to workand to live life and enjoy certain activities,” Bellsaid. “We need a place for people of all ages.”Rennels agreed that the city needs a versatile community center. “This should be the type of facilityR Nthat everyone could use for everything from weddingreceptions to public meetings,” Rennels said.Perry said the city needs to work with the community to find out what the people need.“I think we can bring a plan from the city councilin the next two years,” Perry said. “We have to determine the extent for the project as well as addressingboth the youth and the senior citizens. We need to beable to serve the whole community.”Scism said the community center should bedesigned from the input of Charleston citizens.Knoop said she was concerned with how the community center would be funded after it was built.“We need to know how to support the center andhow to keep it going after it is established,” Knoopsaid.The candidates disagreed on where the funds forthe community center should come from, but all candidates agreed the new center would not raise taxes.The candidates voiced their opinions on whetheror not Charleston should lower the bar entry age toage 19 instead of 21 years old. All the candidatesagreed that the bar entry age should remain at age 21and should not be changed.7:30 reception8:30 speakerGrand BallroomFounder and former director ofFBI’s Violent CriminalApprehension ProgramTONIGHT 3 student w/ ID 5 general publicSPEAKERfrom page oneand fitness, success in social andpersonnel lives. People have waysto stop hostile language alreadyembedded in their minds, she said.“Every single thing we need toknow about getting rid of hostilelanguage is already in our heads.”Elgin said. “We do not have separate customs for each verbal abuse.It does not matter if Buddhistsspeak to Baptists or men to women,it is not the words that are signifi-cant.“It is a myth that what mattersare the words that you say. Themost important part of communication is the body language,” Elginsaid.The tone of your voice is theideal body language because people know how a person feels by listening to the tone of their voice, notto their words, said Elgin.Elgin say therefore hostile wordsdo not exist in the English language. One good self defenseagainst hostile language is to borethe person to death until they goaway, she said.“This is called the Boring BrokeResponse,” she said. “The personwill eventually get tired of listeningto you and they will go away.”Elgin’s speech was held in conjunction with Women’s History andAwareness Month.T h e itDaily 2Eastern Advertisewith usNewspaysThe Daily Eastern NewsThe Daily Eastern News is published daily, Monday through Friday, in Charleston, Illinois, during fall and spring semesters and twiceweekly during the summer term except during school vacations or examinations, by the students of Eastern Illinois University.Subscription price: 32 per semester, 16 for summer only, 60 all year.

3Wednesday, March 26, 1997The Daily Eastern NewsPre-paid tuition billmay not attract allBy SCOTT BOEHMERCampus editorIKUYA KURATA/Staff photographerJason Amato (left), Student Senate member, and Kim Harris, student vice president for AcademicAffairs, discuss multi-cultural diversity during a panel organized by the Multi-Cultural Student Union.About 20 students attended the event Tuesday evening in Stevenson Hall lobby.Students call for diverse coursesBy DEANA POOLEActivities editorStudents at a panel discussionTuesday said more diversityshould be incorporated inEastern’s curriculum.Ten panelists and an audienceof more than 20 students discussed various ideas about how toadd multi-culturalism courses.Lue McGee, president of theBlack Greek Council, said multiculturalism should be integratedinto all of the history classes.“Just one course isn’t going tomake a difference to a lot of people,” McGee said.Liz Halbert, a Student Senatemember, said a course examiningcultures should be mandatory.“If you don’t make it mandatory, the only people who are goingto take a multi-culturalism classare the ones who are alreadyenlightened and want to betterthemselves,” Halbert said.Collette Guerdet, a representative of the Residence Hall Association, said a course on multi-culturalism should not be mademandatory.“Eastern needs a better multi-culturalism course, but peoplecome in with too many negativeattitudes to make a mandatorycourse work,” she said.An audience member also suggested a multi-culturalism coursecluster for the integrated core.All participants of the paneldiscussion agreed education is thekey to increasing acceptance ofother people and their cultures.“Education is the only thing wehave in our hand,” said WendyGuerra, a representative of theLatin American Student Organization. “It’s the only way we canchange the future.”Matthew Manuel, former president of the Black Student Union,said college is too late to beginteaching people about other cultures. People should learn aboutmulti-culturalism when they arechildren, he said.The panel also addressed theissue of whether people are afraidof integrating with people of different cultures.“I think sometimes there is afear because that would bringabout change and people fearchange,” Halbert said.Christi Hardin, the educationdirector of the Lesbian, Gay,Bisexual and Allies Union, agreedpeople fear integration.“There is a fear,” she said. “Tome you have to be wiling to openyour mind to change.”Halbert said Eastern’s campusis an example of the continuedsegregation of cultures.“If we look around our campus,it is segregated,” Halbert said.“We worked so hard for integration and you go into a dining halland see people segregated. I thinkit’s up to us as students to changethat.”The panel consisted of Guerra,Halbert, Courtney Stone, president of the Panhellenic Council;Matt Donoho, president of theResidence Hall Association;Jason Amato, a senate member;Kim Harris, student vice presidentfor academic affairs; TravisSpencer, editor in chief of TheDaily Eastern News; and SteveHuchel, a representative of theSociety of MetaphysicalAdvancement.

Frank Watson,R-Greenville, passed the senateMarch 17 by a vote of 52-2. Itallows parents, grandparents andothers to pre-pay up to ninesemesters of college tuition androom and board costs to avoid therising cost of higher education.House Bill 190, which was introduced by Rep. Dan Burke, DChicago, is awaiting approval bythe House and will be modified tomatch the senate bill. A vote isexpected shortly after the Housereturns from its recess April 8.The Dean of Enrollment Management Frank Hohengarten saideven if the House bill passes and issigned by Gov. Jim Edgar, it willprobably only be used by a limitednumber of people.He said wealthy parents andgrandparents are among those mostlikely to invest money in the planbecause of the large lump sum ofmoney needed to participate in theprogram, Hohengarten said. Headded he would expect most parents to need that sum of money toinstead support their family untilthe time to pay for college is nearer.“It would obviously be a benefitfor people who have money at thetime to put away,” Hohengartensaid.However, Burke said the proposal is based on similar programs thatexist in Florida and 20 other states,including a program in Florida thatattracts around 400,000 people.That program requires collegetuition be pre-paid in four years.The Illinois proposals allow thechild to attend any state-supporteduniversity or community collegethat they are accepted to, and themoney will be refunded if they donot attend, Burke said.The tuition rate paid would bedetermined by the average statesupported college tuition rate whenthe contract is made, Burke said.The tuition would be paid in eithera lump sum or over a period of fiveto 10 years.Contracts can be set up to payfor either university or communitycollege tuition or a combination ofthe two.Burke said he believes the program is necessary because of theincreasing cost of higher education.“(It has been) determined thatthe increase in college tuition is 85percent over rate of inflation overpast 10 years,” Burke said. “Noinvestments (exist) that wouldbegin to match with that type ofincrease.”However, Director of FinancialAid John Flynn said he believes theprogram could run into major problems with providing compensationfor differences in tuition rates andbecause of increases in tuition.“How can you lock in today’scost for 18-years down the road?”Flynn asked. “For me, I don’t seethat as being a viable option.”Hohengarten said caution isneeded when the state sets tuitionrates and looks at the future cost ofcollege education, and added thisalso caused problems with a similar plan in Michigan.Burke said the interest generatedfor the university by the savingsshould be enough to compensatefor any differences in the tuitionrate. In addition, he said the planshould be able to generate a profitbecause of the large number of participants expected.“The more money you have toinvest as a greater capital, thegreater your returns are,” Burkesaid, adding that the highest returninvestments are available to thosewho have a lot of funds. Financialexperts, appointed by the governor,will invest the money into a fund.Burke said the initial start upcost for the program has rangedfrom 60,000 to 200,000 at otherschools.SUBSSOFASTYOU’LL FREAKJIMMY JOHN’SCHARLESTON345-1075“WE’LL BRING ‘EM TO YA.” COPYRIGHT 1993 JIMMY JOHN’S INC.

NCAA basketball, spring fever go hand in handThe Daily Eastern NewsOpinionpageEditorials are the opinion of the Editorial Board.Columns are the opinion of the author.Wednesday, March 26, 1997PAGE 4Student BOT memberknows Eastern best,deserves official voteEastern’s Board of Trustees has seven votingmembers, most of whom live and work throughout the state. They convene on campus only fourtimes a year.Brian Anderson, the student representative tothe BOT, is surrounded by university issues everyday but is granted only an “advisory” vote.A new bill circulatingthrough the Illinois StateHouse of Representatives,however, could make hisvote official. The bill would grant official votes tostudent trustees at public universities statewide.With the BOT mostly removed fromCharleston, Eastern’s student body deserves thisvote.A key problem with giving the student trusteean official vote is the loss of a tie-breaking vote.With eight official votes, a critical issue might endup in a 4-4 split. But in little more than a year ofthe Eastern BOT’s existence, no issue has been socontroversial.To teeter the balance, appointing a ninth BOTmember is a feasible idea. Eastern BOT memberNate Anderson said this is a possible notion.Until that appointment, either BOT Chair MackHollowell could abstain from voting, or BrianAnderson’s vote could remain advisory. Anybrewing controversies that will split the BOT inthe near future are doubtful.Officials opposing the bill have cited complaints about the ineffectiveness of a studenttrustee with a one-year term.These ridiculous claims state that the one-yearterm does not provide students with enough timeto look into issues involving the university.This completely contrasts the truth as far asEastern is concerned. The student trustee liveshere and works on campus. If any BOT member ismost familiar with university issues, it is him.Nate Anderson agreed, adding that BOT members often consult Anderson for information aboutcampus issues when making decisions.This bill could only help boards of trustees andthe universities they represent.The BOT votes aloud in a roll-call fashion.Considering the student trustee casts his “advisory” vote after all of the BOT members cast theirofficial votes, his views do not seem to matterwhen the time comes for the BOT’s final say onan issue.Editorial“today’s quoteAs long as I count the votes, whatare you going to do about it?When T.S. Eliot correctlylabeled April the cruelest month, Isuspect he may have had in mindthe end of the NCAA basketballseason.Thisweekend,Indianapolis will play host to thelast four teams vying for a nationalchampionship title, signifying theend of another college basketball TRAVIS MCDADEseason and yet another crown for Regular columnistthe University of North Carolina.Monday, however, signifiessomething altogether greater thanthis. April traditionally is the month during which basketballfans of all stripes yawn, stretch and begin their unhappy trekback into the land of the term papers, girlfriends and (ugh)baseball. No other feeling compares to the remorse of thebasketball junkie after a five-month bender. After months ofbroken promises and broken dates, months of neglectedhomework and unpaid bills, the ugly truth of April arriveslike a debt-collecting Mafioso who finds you without anycash.A singular phenomenon occurs to the afflicted that, whilesometimes debilitating, is most often harmless and shouldprobably just be let alone to run its course. Similar to the wayyour vision is temporarily affected after you stare at a certaincolor for a long period of time (you then see the opposite ofthat color if you stare at a blank wall), the basketball junkiemay have, for about three weeks, a sort of hazy flashback tosomething that occurred repeatedly during the season or inthe tournament.For instance, one of these guys might be walking acrossthe quad one day when he suddenly has a vision of the ageless color commentator Al McGuire (ageless because hisbirth certificate burned in the Great Chicago Fire) mistakenlyand continually calling UCLA forward Charles O’Bannon byhis older brother Ed’s name (although Ed graduated twoyears ago). You’ll recognize this seizure because, like the1,000-year-old McGuire, the person involved keeps fallingdown while trying to dance (on live television).Another of these “shadows” may involve the person suddenly speaking in incomprehensible initials and exclamations like the ubiquitous Dick Vitale. An example might bethe same dude on the quad suddenly screaming that he’s“gotta go SFF, baby!” which you will immediately decipherto mean that he’s going to go study for finals.
