Foundation. Pie Pie-throwing incident shines light on SIUC Continued from B1 The impetus for Bowles' legislation was questions about SIU trustee George Wilkins, whose last known address is in Indiana. Wilkins is a former Democrat who switched to the Republican Party while serving on the board, thus giving the Republicans five members on the board. Under state law, no more than four board members can belong to the same political party. Ryan i in January reappointed another Republican, A.D.

Van Meter. That move preserved the Republican share of the seven-member board. Bowles said she believes that the political makeup of the SIU board has been unlawfully altered. "The law is very specific in its ratio of the number of Democrats and Republicans that should be represented on the board," she said. But a Ryan spokesman said the governor's stance is that Wilkins doesn't count as a Republican on the board because he was a Democrat when he was appointed.

The pie-throwing protester, SIU philosophy student Dawn Roberts, asked Ryan during a town-hall meeting Monday in Carbondale about Wilkins' residency status as well as the Republican majority on the board. Ryan responded that he doubted there was anything illegal about the board's makeup. Roberts, 29, is a student senator and coordinator for the activist group Students in Excellence for Education, according to the SIU student newspaper, The Daily Egyptian. She told the student He served as a volunteer with children in the Clayton recreation and athletic program and he participated in Crossroads, group that works with parents to help youths with alcohol or drug dependency. A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 7 p.m.

Saturday at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 106 North Meramec Avenue, Clayton. Burial will be private. Among the survivors are his wife, Susan McGowan; two sons, Robert John McGowan Jr. and Timothy McGowan, both of Clayton; and a brother, Thomas F.

McGowan III of Richmond Heights. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association, 2650 South Hanley Road, St. Louis, Mo. 63144. He was a display advertising sales executive at the Post Dispatch when he retired in 1994.

He had worked for 51 years at the newspaper, starting as a copy boy, and later working in the circulation department, composing room and advertising department. As a young man, he played on various amateur baseball teams and in AA softball leagues. In 1984, he won in the Missouri State Handball Championship, Senior Division. A native of St. Louis, Mr.

Hartin served in the Navy in World War II. He was a deacon and longtime member of Maplewood Baptist Church. Among the survivors are his wife of 51 years, Jean Hartin; three daughters, Suzanne Leek, Pamela Wright and Jane Sneed, all of Brentwood; a son, John Hartin of Rock Hill; three sisters, Mary Hartin of St. Louis, Gertrude Meyer of Haines City, and Mildred Boubek of Affton; and eight grandchildren.

The Web site is spearheaded by former state Treasurer Pat Quinn, a Democrat who has' mounted an online advisory referendum to pressure state legislators to get to the bottom of the scandal.

Although Ryan again insisted he did everything, he could to uncover the Pidgeons were not satisfied with his defense or with the makeup of the Gateway audience. "This crowd came from many, many phone calls to people," said Jim Pidgeon, 64, a retired schoolteacher. "Like any event, you call your supporters and put on a show." The Pidgeons would not say how they obtained the banner. "He must have sent it here," Jim Pidgeon said of Quinn. "I don't even know the For his part, when reporters asked him about the banner after the forum, Ryan replied, "I honestly didn't see it." Less than 24 hours after the pie incident, reporters focused on whether Ryan's security detail had failed him, rather than on Metro East area residents or the licenseselling scandal.

"I'm not going to bash security," Ryan said. "It was just one of those things that happen. We all feel very badly that it did happen. I feel secure. I feel our troops do a good job." Unlike Monday night, when Ryan addressed the news media in the forum auditorium, the governor conducted his brief news conference in a separate ballroom with only the news media and a few of his aides present.

He continued to insist that it was the rush of the news media that allowed Roberts through with her pie, not any lapse in security. postnet.com/links Read postp net.com's special report on Ryan's trip to Cuba in fall as well as his Illinois FIRST program from the state's Web site. newspaper the purpose of throwing the pie was to raise awareness "about all of the corruption going on in (Ryan's) office." She noted that Van Meter, the board chairman, has given the governor $10,000 in campaign contributions. She and others alleged that the money gave Ryan a motive to ignore concerns about the board's makeup. Ryan angrily denied to the audience that the money had any bearing on his views.

Van Meter was unavailable for comment Tuesday. Under the law, the governor appoints university board members, but they are confirmed by a bipartisan vote of the Senate, said Scott Kaiser, SIU spokesman. "This was an aberration. (Roberts was) one individual who has held a demonstration on campus before," Kaiser said. "I think this gives a misimpression of SIU-Carbondale." Roberts was charged with aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, State's Attorney Michael Wepsiec said.

A Class 3 felony can carry a sentence of two to five years in jail and a $25,000 fine or more. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 17. Roberts posted bond Tuesday afternoon and was released from the Jackson County Jail in Murphysboro, jail officials said. Reading challenges students to go beyond their curriculum.
