Students stand outside of Old Main at the 5th annual S.L.U.T. Walk Wednesday afternoon. Siobhan Doherty, President of EIU Pride, said the most empowering thing about this march is seeing the look on people’s faces as they drive by and forcing people to acknowledge a problem they do not see often.
‘No means no’
S.L.U.T. Walk promotes stand against rape culture By Travis Moody Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Dozens of Eastern students gathered at the south entrance of Coleman Hall to participate in Eastern’s annual S.L.U.T. Walk Wednesday evening. The S.L.U.T. Walk, which stands for Satirically Lessening Unfair Theories, began when a Toronto police officer told women that they should “avoid dressing like sluts” in order to prevent sexual violence. EIU FEM president Alana Reinhardt said organizing the S.L.U.T. Walk this year was not too much of a challenge, because everyone involved really helped by spreading word of the walk. “It’s our fifth year doing it, so we sort of know what works as far as where our route is around campus and what’s most effective,” Reinhardt said. “It’s great to have a gathering community, and everyone’s super supportive.”
Reinhardt said even people who are not members of EIU FEM recognize the movement and name of the walk. She attributed this to social media influences such as Amber Rose, who initially began the S.L.U.T. Walk after the incident in Toronto. After the participants arrived, Reinhardt gave a speech about the history of the S.L.U.T. Walk and what the main idea of the walk is. “Today, we call for an end to rape culture on our campus and beyond,” Reinhardt said. “We demand that victim blaming be abolished and that victims get the justice and respect that they deserve.” Reinhardt said the reasons for the walk should be easy to understand, but continue to be a problem in society. “We march because consent isn’t sexy,” Reinhardt said. “Consent is required.” Reinhardt said for her, the walk meant solidarity and empowerment, and continues to be a great opportunity to speak up for those who often go unheard.

Nominations being taken for feedback committee By Cassie Buchman Editor in Chief | @cjbuchman Nominations to serve on a committee to review and give feedback on vitalization Workgroup no. 8 and 9’s recommendations will be taken by the Faculty Senate until Monday Oct. 16. The Faculty Senate has sent out a call to faculty asking for them to nominate people and selfnominate to serve on the committee. Nominations can be sent to Jon Oliver, chair of the sen-
ate’s nomination committee and a kinesiology and sports studies professor, at jaoliver@eiu.edu. “We’ll see how many volunteers we have, try to pick a good representation of faculty,” said Faculty Senate Chair Jemmie Robertson. On Tuesday, Oct. 17, the Faculty Senate will pick from the pool of nominees to appoint people to the feedback committee. Provost Jay Gatrell submitted a written report to the Faculty Senate at its last meeting, asking that a “feedback committee” be made to determine the “merits, priorities and overall feasibility”
of individual recommendations of Workgroups no. 8 and 9 made during last year’s vitalization project. During the Faculty Senate meeting, Eastern President David Glassman mentioned that the information dealt with in Workgroups No. 8 and 9 would be better decided between department chairs and faculty. “(The recommendations are) very broadbased, and when I take a look at that, I go, well somehow, we’ve got to try and find a device in which we find out which really will fit us,” he
said. Workgroup no. 8 looked at developing programs that could increase Eastern’s enrollment and Workgroup no. 9 analyzed the organization of the university’s academic colleges, schools and departments. It also looked at different learning platforms and tuition models that could be used. “Some of the ideas are really big and I think it’s important to have an opportunity to reflect on what the implications are and sort of figure out what we can work on now, what is two Committee, page 5

GENEVA (AP) — President Donald Trump has passed Pope Francis to become the most-followed world leader on Twitter, a social media tracker says. Twitplomacy says Trump, with about 40 million followers, over the weekend took the top spot on its tracked list of about 890 accounts of leaders like heads of state and government. The pope's followers in all languages are slightly fewer. Twitplomacy founder Matthias Luefkens, head of digital with Burson Marsteller EMEA, acknowledged that many followers could be dormant accounts or "bots." The list also doesn't count ex-leaders like Barack Obama, who has 95 million-plus followers. Luefkens said Wednesday that Trump's tweets get many "interactions" and he expects the U.S. leader might trumpet the achievement: "He does like his crowd size."
Solar energy is fastest growing source of power PARIS (AP) — A report shows that solar energy was the fastest-growing source of power last year, accounting for almost two-thirds of net new capacity globally. The International Energy Agency said Wednesday that the rise was due to a boom in panel installations, particularly in China, thanks to a drop in costs and support from governments.

LONDON (AP) — Royal Air Force Typhoon jets escorted a Ryanair flight from Lithuania to London Stansted after what appears to be a hoax security threat. The plane was traveling from Kaunas, Lithuania to Luton Airport but was diverted to Stansted. All flights have now resumed after being held for 10 minutes just before 9 a.m. (0800 GMT) on Wednesday. Ryanair says in a statement that the flight was diverted "after Lithuanian authorities received a suspected hoax security alert."

Comedy Carnival hits campus By Chrissy Miller New Editor | @DEN_News Comedian Lafayette Wright will perform at the Comedy Carnival at 7 p.m. Thursday in the 7th Street Underground. Although there will be no big tent or elephants, Dallas Lancenese, University Board comedy coordinator, said there will be decorations, prizes and carnival food to add to the carnival theme. “There’s going to be food that you can find at a carnival, like churros and funnel cake fries, which I’m very excited about,” Lancenese said. Lancenese said he chose the carnival theme because it is a theme he has not seen used in the past. Wright uses experiences related to
his experiences in his culture to find material for his comedy, Lancenese said. “Him being a black comedian, he uses that to his advantage a little bit, I wouldn’t say advantage, but he jokes about that in different scenarios that he’s been in,” Lancenese said. He said Wright is very relatable with his comedy. “If you can relate to the act it’s easier to loosen up and it’s easier to laugh,” Lancenese said. Among his other comedic endeavors, Wright has been featured in a Kevin Hart comedy special, Lancenese said. “If you want to compare it to the August event, he is less raunchy, but still very funny, hard-hitting and enjoyable to watch,” Lancenese said.
TODAY ON CAMPUS:
Lancenese said he thinks having the comedy night on a Thursday will be good for the turn out. “Fridays are very hit and miss because the comedy events are always at 7. It really depends if people are going out that weekend? Because if people are going out that weekend, the Friday misses,” Lancenese said. “Thursdays are always like, ‘Whelp, there’s still another class day afterwards, it’s not too late to actually go out and enjoy yourself.’ Plus, there’s not much people are doing on a Thursday night rather than a Friday night.” He said this comedy night marks the last of his “training” performances, where he did not choose the act.

Student Senate approves RSO, Senator Dale Righter to visit By Samuel Nusbaum Contributing reporter | @DEN_News The Student Senate welcomed another Registered Student Organization to Eastern and discussed the upcoming attendance of Illinois State Senator Dale Righter during its Wednesday meeting. The RSO is called Project L.I.N.K. and is a community service and education group. The group’s mission statement states that it was created to “inspire our students by programming that is geared towards furthering and enhancing the knowledge of and participation in community service.” Usually an RSO must go through a two-week process of presenting themselves to the senate and answering questions, followed by a vote the next week. However, since Project L.I.N.K. had been waiting over a month to be voted on according to Outzen, an emergency bill
was proposed and voted on during the same meeting to prevent further waiting. Outzen said the senate did not have time to set up a presentation time between the group and the senate. He said it is one of the functions of the senate to allow new RSO’s on campus after the groups’ Constitution and bylaws have been approved. Outzen also said other potential RSO’s will not get the same treatment, as bylaw revisions for next semester are going to create a charter system. Under this system, the student affairs committee would have approved the RSO’s constitution and bylaws so the group can be voted on at that meeting. Then, potential RSO’s will meet with the student affairs committee so they can skip part of the waiting period and be put on the consent agenda for the next student senate meeting. It was also announced that State Senator Dale Righter will be coming to talk
with the senate. Student Body President Luke Young said it will be more of an informative meeting. Young said it will be a time for Righter to answer questions on the new Illinois budget and how it affects the school and the upcoming race for governor. Senators will also host “1st Thursday,” an event where students fill out suggestions about campus improvement, will be from 1 till 3 p.m. on Thursday Oct. 5 in front of the Doudna Steps. Rebecca Cash, student vice president of academic affairs said her second installment of Prowlin’ with the Prez will be Pumpkins with the Prez. It is from 5 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 23 in the library quad. “Scratch pumpkin carving, it will be pumpkin painting, less weapons, injuries and guts, pumpkin guts,” Cash said. Samuel Nusbaum can be reached at 581-2812 or at scnusbaum@eiu.edu.
Guest philosophy speaker Vernon Cisney will look at the themes beyond perceived masculinity in the movie Fight Club at 5 p.m. Oct.10 in the Doudna Lecture Hall. Cisney is an Eastern philosophy alumnus who is currently working at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. To prepare for the speech, the Philosophy club is showing the movie at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Coleman Hall room 3752. Popcorn will provided. It is not necessar y to see the movie before the speech on Tuesday, philosophy department chair Jonelle DePetro said. DePetro said Cisney’s focus on creating programs for student audiences and his connections to Eastern and Mattoon make him a clear choice for a speaker. DePetro said when she had Cisney as a student he was hardworking and showed a passion for philosophy. Cisney will be arguing against what most viewers of Fight Club see as the motif of the movie: the aggressive masculinity and white male angst, according to the event write up. She said she hopes students who attend will achieve a new way to look at philosophy and art past their implications in the film. “I hope they’ll (the students) get an understanding of how philosophy engages with things like film and art and literature, because philosophy is there and I think philosophy is sort of mys-
terious to students because it’s not something they have in high school,” DePetro said. “They’re not exposed to philosophy and then they don’t really have a good understanding of what philosophy is.” This lecture has been made possible by the Jack and Margaret Redden Fund Grant, a grant that goes toward improving undergraduate instruction, DePetro said. DePetro said that philosophy is connected to more subjects than students generally think of, and she hopes that that is something students will get out of this presentation. “I hope students learn that you can engage with philosophy in ways that you might not expect,” DePetro said. This club is for every type of student, philosophy club president Rebecca Horan said. “ Ph i l o s o p h y c l u b i s a s p a c e for people to go and discuss important questions, and so anyone looking to have that sort of outlet would be a good fit,” Horan said. The club meets at 7:30 p.m. every other Tuesday in Coleman Hall room 3752. The next meeting is Oct. 17. Another guest speaker is planned to present his experience in the Warsaw ghetto in Nazi Poland and how it affected the rest of his life. This meeting will feature vegan food, to go with the speaker’s choice to turn away from animal cruelty after his experiences, DePetro said.

Find what makes you smile, happy Happiness comes in all sorts of interesting ways and who are we to judge another peer’s source of happiness. Whether it is running and singing in the rain or curling up with a book next to a warm fire, happiness is vital in our lives. My happiness comes in all shapes and forms but my favorite escape from life is hunting for vintage inspired clothing. Part of the joy that comes with creating this vintage persona is the sense of escape I encounter when doing so. That sense of escape leads to this overwhelming feeling of sheer happiness that turns even the darkest of days bright. Perhaps I am only speaking for myself, however every time I come across a vintage find at the Goodwill or even a vintage inspired clothing website I encounter this sense of relaxation. It is an overwhelming feeling that gathers up all the negative thoughts I might have had at that moment and locks them up. The feeling of satisfaction that comes in knowing I can wear something that accentuates my body and makes me look and feel good consumes me, even if it is just for a minute. This is the type of feeling I hope you can all find when you hunt for what makes you smile endlessly. Think of it as trying to find yourself by finding what makes you laugh, smile or jump and scream because you are so happy. For me, happiness is about self-expression. Do not be afraid to express your style, whether it is bold and wild or conservative and humble. If you are interested in vintage attire I encourage you to try that on for size. The possibilities are endless and the tools you will need to complete the look are right at your fingertips. If you decide to take the vintage clothing road to happiness then the first thing you will need to do is research. Of course there is no better research than pictures. However, in order to fully embrace the idea of emerging yourself in the fashion of clothing’s past then a better route would be to read up on some reliable sources. You also get an understanding of why women and men dressed the way they did and what made each decade of fashion so revolutionary. To get you started check out https:// vintagefashionguild.org/fashion-timeline/ which covers the timeline of vintage clothing from the 1800s to the 2000s, believe it or not, that is vintage. Regardless of what you establish as your source of happiness, make it worth your while and have fun creating those memories. Analicia Haynes is a junior journalism major.

Staff Editorial
Sexual assault should not be accepted In Thursday’s article of The Daily Eastern News, EIU FEM President Alana Reinhardt took a stand against rape culture by marching in the fifth annual S.L.U.T. walk. “We march because consent isn’t sexy,” Reinhardt said. “Consent is required.” We live in a society that has not shown full support of the victims of sexual assault. This is absolutely unacceptable. It is a simple concept- unless a person gives consent, someone who wants to make sexual advances towards them should do what we all learned in elementary school and keep their hands, as well as all their other parts, to themselves. For some reason this is somehow lost in translation in our culture. We even go as far as to blame victims. We scrutinize victims to the point it is sometimes hard to tell if we are prosecuting them or the perpetrator. In the article, it mentions the walk started because a Toronto police officer told women that they should “avoid dressing like sluts” in order to prevent sexual violence. No matter what anyone wears, they are
never at fault for some other person deciding to commit a crime against them by sexually violating them. It is sickening that victim blaming still exists. By saying a victim is at fault you are basically supporting what the perpetrator did. Do not let your own personal fashion choices distract from the fact people who are sexually assaulted are victims. They did not ask for what was done to them. The fact that they did not ask or even approve of what was being done to them is what makes it a crime. By not always accepting this as fact, members of society make it hard for victims to come forward and begin the healing process. We would never say if someone did not look so rich, they would not have been robbed. Why do we find it normal to question people about their clothing after a sexual assault? It makes no sense. Hormones do not control people like

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Letter from the editor: We want feedback Any paper’s purpose should be first and foremost to serve its readers. To keep up to date with what they care about, and talk about the issues, news and events they need to read. You are able to hear from us, the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News, often on this edit page through editorials and columns. And by deciding what to put in the paper when, we decide what information is prioritized and seen by our readers on a daily basis. Now, I think it is time that we heard from you. To better know how to serve our readers, we need to know what they need and want to know. To do this, we need to keep the lines of communication open and keep ourselves as transparent and open to criticism as possible. This is why The Daily Eastern News will set up a stand from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday by the Food Court at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. At this stand, our staff members will pass out surveys asking for feedback on what you would like to see us cover, what you think we need to improve on and other ways we can make the The Daily Eastern News a paper you can rely on. Any comments, or constructive criticism, will help. All we ask is that you be honest and fair in your assessment of us. Let us know what you like, but even more importantly perhaps,
Cassie Buchman what you do not like. There may be some decisions we as a paper make or aspects of journalism itself that we do not necessarily see eyeto-eye on, but it is still important to keep that dialogue and conversation open and honest between both parties. If you have questions about our process, the way the paper is run or journalism itself, we will also do our best to answer those. Though it is normally our job to ask questions, we are more than willing to answer any ones that people might have. Our staff is made up of passionate people,

that. Rape is a choice made by the perpetrator and no one else. Marches like the S.L.U.T. walk are great to spread awareness this issue society is facing. Hopefully with awareness being spread, understanding of the awful reality of rape and how horribly destructive it is to blame those who have experienced it will spread as well. However, this is not enough. People must take a long hard look at themselves and commit to not standing by silently as rape culture is perpetuated. Sexual assault is a terrible thing in all its forms. With self reflection and enough education, may be sometime in the future we as a society will be able to realize how terrible it is that sexual assaults ever occurred and that walks had to be put together just to get people to care about such a devastating issue.

who love showing others what we do and how we do it. We will be more than willing to open up about why we did or did not run a certain article, why we chose a certain photo, or how we plan on addressing and fixing issues and mistakes that come up in the future. Also included at the stand will be job applications for various positions on our staff. If you see area that you think needs improvement at the paper, maybe you can try your hand at it yourself. We are always looking for people to join our team, from all areas of campus. While people sometimes think that we are primarily made up of journalism majors, to more accurately be a voice for this campus, we need staff members from different majors, years and areas of campus. No matter how much or little experience you have, we are happy to teach people what we know and help them as they embark on the field of journalism. So I encourage anyone curious about The Daily Eastern News to come by Thursday to our stand when going by the Food Court. I look forward to the conversations and feedback that follow.

“It gives a voice to those who are often silenced by society and their attackers,” Reinhardt said. Participants walked from Coleman to Old Main, chanting mantras such as “whatever we wear, wherever we go, yes means yes, and no means no” and “we demand the right to walk the streets at night.” Many of the walkers also held signs, some of which were provided and some of which were made by the participant before the walk and held a personal meaning to them. Some of the signs featured the number for the rape crisis hotline, as well as sayings such as “No means no” and “Consent is required.” In front of Old Main, the group took pictures and stayed to do a few chants before walking down 4th street and back to Coleman Hall.

is not as overt and obvious as the ‘left drinking fountain for negroes’ and ‘the right drinking fountains for whites,’ or ‘that this is the colored bathroom and that is the whites only bathroom.’” A specific example is how the amount of people who died during the Holocaust is portrayed in books, Bickford said. “Most people would say 6 million Jews, but it is actually 11 million people who were killed,” he said. Bickford said the era of re-segregation is an era in American histor y that is largely misrepresented in textbooks. “This is, in a way, an era of history that is misrepresented or a lot of people are unaware of it,” Bickford said. Illinois has some of the most disparate funding for public schools in the country, he said. “Rich Chicago-land schools may spend 25 grand per kid, per year. Mt.

When you look at the poorest schools in Illinois, you see an awful lot of rural poverty,” Bickford said. “In Texas and other places, you see more urban poverty.” Juanita Cross, Latin Heritage Month chair, said in an email the more she learned about the film, the more she felt it was important to share its screening with the campus because stories like the one in the documentary are not normally introduced or discussed in the K-12 educational system. “I encourage students to not only come and learn this specific story, but also consider why stories like this one are missing from our curriculum,” she said.

DeWolf can lead the Panthers’ offense By Dillan Schorfheide Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s women’s soccer team has lost six straight matches, five of them to conference opponents, and over that span the team scored one goal. But by no means is the team playing “bad.” By no means are the team’s main scorers, as of right now, bad or not playing well; in fact, it is the opposite. Four players for Eastern, Kate Olson, Hannah Heinz, Henar Urteaga and Sarah DeWolf, have three goals each this season. They just have not come at opportune time as of late. DeWolf has been the main forward this season, and throughout the losing streak she has had a lot of the team’s chances to score. Both in the Panthers’ loss to Southern Illinois Edwardsville, the conference opener, and the loss to Morehead State, the most recent match, DeWolf got a few chances to score within a few feet of the goal. The offense does not need a huge makeover or anything, but it needs a bonafiede scorer. DeWolf is the best candidate to be that scorer. She has good speed, she can defeat defenders off the dribble and she has shown that she can finish in front of the goal. But she might need a partner up top to get the Panthers’ offense rolling again.
That is where the freshman Niondina Nystrom comes into play. She is fast and has great stamina. Late into the game she can still sprint full-speed to dribble the ball or track down a defender. While she is a valuable piece in the midfield for her speed and stamina, and also for her defense and field vision, putting her at forward would give the Panthers the edge they need on offense. Nystrom can be the forward who can chase down through balls and, if need be, can make crosses into the box for DeWolf and company. In fact, that was how the team won against Green Bay on Aug. 25. Nystrom dribbled the ball into the right corner of the field and made a cross into the box, which DeWolf headed home with 61 seconds left in the match for the 1-0 victory. Nystrom can also score if need be; she scored her first and only goal of the season in the 5-1 victory over Chicago State. Put it this way: Murray State, which is barely second place in the OVC and is most likely the toughest team in the conference, has one player who has a majority of the team’s goals. Senior Harriet Withers has 12 of the Racers’ 21 goals on the year, and Murray State is 9-1-1 overall, 4-0-1 in conference. This weekend, Eastern has two home matches. Eastern hosts Jacksonville State Fri-

day, which is 4-7-2 overall and 10th in the OVC with a 1-4 conference record. Then Sunday, for senior day, Eastern faces Tennessee Tech, which is 6-4-1 overall with a 3-1-1
conference record in third place in the OVC.

Panthers set for Valparaiso invitational By Parker Valentine Tennis Reporter| @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s tennis team is heading to Indiana this weekend for the Valparaiso Fall Invitational. This is the second tournament of the Panthers’ fall season; the first came three weeks ago at the River Forest Invitational. Senior Trent Reiman was an anchor for the Panthers in River Forest. He not only registered a win in sin gles competition, he and sophomore partner Freddie O’Brien advanced to the flight championship of their doubles bracket, defeating the Marquette duo of Andre Romanello and Scott Christian. Freshman Kaisei Kuroki and Logan Charbonneau showcased their talents in River Forest as well. Both freshman earned wins in their debut tourney with the Panthers.
Eastern’s tennis alumni weekend concluded last Saturday. Alums descend upon Charleston to compete against, and enjoy time with current tennis athletes. They did not miss the opportunity to give advice either. “We are very fortunate to have a supportive and enthusiastic alumni base and there are a core group of former players who keep coming back year after year,” coach Sam Kercheval said. Play at Valparaiso will begin Saturday at 11 a.m. There will be four other teams in attendance. Along with Eastern and home team Valparaiso, Wright State, Chicago State and DePaul complete the tournament. The Panthers competed against three of these teams last spring, the one team they lack familiarity with is DePaul. Of the teams the Panthers played in the spring, they had the most success against
Chicago State. Current Panthers senior Jared Woodson and sophomore Marko Janjusic both recorded wins against the Cougars. Those wins did not come without hard work though, both Woodson and Janjusic completed competitive three-set matches before earning victory. This tournament will be a bit different than previous tournaments. Instead of the traditional randomized seeding and brackets, each team at Valparaiso will go head-tohead in competition. The one exception at this event will be Chicago State and DePaul, which will team up, due to the fact that both universities will only be sending half its rosters. Both singles and doubles competition will be played. Kercheval is keeping his lineups a bit under wraps, but did say that the players should expect to be seeded with different doubles partners than last week-
end. One thing Kercheval made clear is that he is looking for progress from his players. “The expectation this coming weekend at Valparaiso is to see improvement from each of the guys. We’ve had two weeks of practice and will have had another before we start play on Saturday so I expect to see things that we worked on come out in matches,” Kercheval said. Eastern will have nearly a month off before its next invitatonal. The Panthers next matches will be at the Illinois State invitational Nov. 3. Once the Panthers wrap up play at Illinois State in November, they will not play again until 2018 when the spring season gets underway at Indiana for the Panthers first dual match of the year.

Panthers playing at home this weekend By Kaitlin Cordes Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team will face the likes of Southeast Missouri and Tennessee-Martin this weekend as each team travels to Charleston for the Panthers’ fifth and sixth conference matches. Eastern is coming off its first conference win against Tennessee State last Saturday when the Panthers took the match in four sets. Eastern enters this weekend’s games at 1-3 in the conference and 7-9 overall. First up is Friday’s match against Southeast Missouri. The Redhawks are currently 1-3 in the conference with a 6-12 overall record. Southeast Missouri lost to Ohio Valley Conference foes Tennessee-Martin, Austin Peay and Murray State with their only conference win coming over Jacksonville State. In their most recent match, the Redhawks won just one set when they hosted Murray State last Saturday (29-27, 17-25, 22-25, 20-25). Southeast Missouri’s middle Nzingha Clarke dominated the team statistics with a careerbest 11 blocks, 10 assists and 14 kills. Clarke has continued to be a team leader throughout the season. She has earned 143 total kills and leads the team in blocks per set, averaging at least on block per set. Another Southeast Missouri standout is outside hitter Krissa Gearring. Gearring had 11 kills and a season high of 21 digs in the Murray State match for her sixth double-double of the season. Gearring holds the team-high 188 kills on the season and even out-digs the team’s libero with 157 digs on the year. The Redhawks won the last meeting with the Panthers in three sets.

Junior Taylor Smith kills the ball in the Panthers’ win over Tennessee State Sept. 30 in Lantz Arena. Eastern has two home matches this weekend.
The Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks will enter Saturday’s match at 3-1 in the conference. The Skyhawks have defeated Southeast Missouri, Tennessee State and Murray State with their only conference loss delivered by Austin Peay. The Skyhawks proved they have a strong front row as middle Jemima Idemudia, outside hitter Macy Reigel-
sperger and outside hitter Megan Fair each reached double digits in kills at 10, 10 and 12, respectively. Idemudia also lead the team in blocks with one solo block and three block assists. Fair leads the team in kills on the season with 181 followed closely by Idemudia’s 180. Idemudia is Tennessee-Martin’s top blocker with 11 solo
blocks and 65 block assists. Tennessee-Martin has yet to play an away conference match. In non-conference away matches, the Skyhawks sit at 1-3. Tennessee-Martin won its last meeting with Eastern on the Panthers’ home court. However, Eastern took the Skyhawks to five sets, barely losing at 21-25, 25-23, 22-25, 28-26, 15-17.
Friday’s match against Southeast Missouri is at 7 p.m., and Saturday’s matchup with Tennessee-Martin begins at 2 p.m. in Lantz Arena. These matches will be Eastern’s last home competitions until Oct. 20 when the Panthers host Tennessee Tech. Kaitlin Cordes can be reached at 581-2812 or krcordes@eiu.edu.
NOTEBOOK
Ohio Valley Conference with 3 undefeated teams By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports Three teams in the Ohio Valley Conference remain heading into the third week of conference play and the Eastern football team is one of them. Austin Peay has begun a turn-around season starting 2-0, picking up its first and second wins since the seventh game of the 2014 season. The Governors won their season opener, which resulted in the fans celebrating and bringing down the goal posts. Austin Peay had the goal posts ready for its next home game. The Governors have picked up back-to-back wins against Tennessee-Martin and Murray State. It is safe to say that Austin Peay and its fans are playing with a bit of energy and a so-called monkey off its back. The Governors may have won on Saturday against Tennessee-Martin, but it was only by 7-0. The defense held strong and allowed just 291 yards to the Skyhawks. They did, however, beat Murray State 27-7. The 7-0 win does not speak much about how the game went, whether it was poor offense, or great Austin Peay defense, and in reality, good TennesseeMartin defense as well. But the Governors have another thing to celebrate as it was their first shutout since 2012 and first against a Division I opponent since 1986. Austin Peay struggled for years, but now it is a team that can actually be feared among the OVC. Even though it is early and the Governors do not have
a great history to talk about or look at, this year has shown a different monster. The Governors are playing on adrenaline after finally cracking the win column and only has them hungry for more. They will be on the road this weekend against Jacksonville State, the other undefeated team in the OVC. The Gamecocks have only played one OVC game. Jacksonville State won last weekend against Tennessee Tech, the team that Eastern hosts this weekend for its Hall of Fame game. The Gamecocks won big over Tennessee Tech 34-7 last weekend. Even without their start quarterback Eli Jenkins, the Gamecocks still put together 523 yards of total offense. Jacksonville State is No. 4 in the FCS top 25 this week. Eastern has not had a game with that explosive of an offense, so a 500-plusyard game against the Golden Eagles should not be expected. The Panthers have improved their offense the past two weeks, using redshirt freshman quarterback Scotty Gilkey Jr.’s running ability to gain most of their yards. He has given Eastern an energy boost after having two bad losses. And while Eastern's offense is starting to find its way and improving each week, the defense has continued to stand strong. The defense has kept hard-fought games close, and close enough for Eastern's offense to do just enough to win games.
JUSTIN BROWN| THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Junior running back Isaiah Johnson rushes in a touchdown against Indiana State Aug. 31 in Terre Haute. Eastern hosts Tennessee Tech this weekend for the Hall of Fame game.
The Panthers are coming off a double overtime win against Tennessee State on the road, which resulted in Gilkey Jr. and senior Nick Horne receiving OVC Player of the Week honors. While those three teams have played well to start the OVC portion of their schedules, three teams are looking for
their first wins of the season. Murray State, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech have yet to win a game. Murray State has not played well in its last two games, especially. For the second-straight game, the Racers’ offense was held to under 100 yards. The Racers lost to FBS Louisville 5510.
This week is not only vital for the winless teams to get back in the win column, but it can start shaping the OVC more and giving a better look at who is contenders and who is not. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 smhastings@eiu.edu.
