Administration explains university contingencies By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Even with the state budget impasse still in place, Eastern has plans and ways to keep the school open through the spring semester and beyond. President David Glassman sent out an email Oct. 12 telling students there is no doubt the spring semester will be completed as usual. Glassman said he sent the email because he heard from a number of students and even parents who were worried about the school closing in the spring. “We are absolutely having a spring semester,” Glassman said. “(Students) have nothing to be afraid about.” Glassman said he wanted to communicate that to students, and felt the email was the best way to do it. “Shortly after I sent the email, it was all over social media,” Glassman said. Glassman said social media worked fast, especially when it came to rumors, such as the one started about the school shutting down. Glassman said certain things from the State Senate Higher Education Committee’s budget hearing were taken out of context, such as when he was asked when the university would run out of funds. Glassman said he thought this would happen in spring, which is when they would then move to contingency plans. “It’s not a matter of closing, it’s a matter of moving to different contingency plans,” Glassman said. Glassman said the contingency plan consists of doing things the school would not normally have to do if it had an appropriation. “We have plans to get through spring,” Glassman said. “That’s the end of the budget year.” The first level of contingency is getting an ap-

propriation from the state and the second level is the use of reserved funds from past years. The reserved funds have already been used for several years. The third level of contingency is getting a loan. To get a loan from the bank, Eastern would
need approval from the state. Paul McCann, the interim vice president for business affairs, said this would mean asking for a new law giving the university’s authority to borrow the money. “The previous version that was passed in 2010 required us to run it by a committee that
the state established to review that borrowing,” McCann said. McCann said being a part of the state, he thought Eastern would have a good chance of getting a loan if the university had to.

Eastern to offer rural studies minor One suspect By Jason Hardimon Staff Reporter | @Jason_Hardimon Finance major Eric Johnson, who attended Lake Park High School about 40 miles east of Chicago, does not feel very connected to agriculture or rural issues. However, Johnson admitted agriculture probably affects him more than he realizes. Chris Laingen, a geography professor, agreed with Johnson. “No matter how urban you are, you’re still
very much tied to the rural landscape,” Laingen said. “From what you eat to the electricity that you get, to the fuel that’s in your car, to... you name it. It’s easy to overlook, but it’s really important to everyone.” Like Johnson, about half of Eastern undergraduates in 2015 attended high schools in Cook County and the collar counties, where approximately four percent of Illinois farms are located. About one quarter of undergraduates attended high schools in East-Central Illinois, where close to 19 percent of Illinois farms reside,
according to data from the Eastern Department of Planning and Institutional Research and the 2012 USDA census of agriculture. On a national level, census data suggested that many who attended high school in rural counties will move to a city or the surrounding suburbs after earning their degree, leaving fewer people with the responsibility of managing more than 70 percent of America’s land and natural resources.

CAA approves public relations major By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman
The Council on Academic Affairs approved a new public relations major, new public relations courses and a new philosophy course at their meeting Thursday. CMN 2920 Introduction to Public Relations, CMN 3960 Public Relations Writing and Production, CMN 4919 Principles and Practices of Public Relations Campaigns, and CMN 4920 Public Relations Case Studies were all revised. The new classes were CMN 3020 Public Relations Research, Evaluation, and Measurement and CMN 3965 Advanced Public Relations Writing and Production, and A, B, D, E, Seminar in Public Relations. The new philosophy course is PHI 3080 Medical Ethics. This course will look at ethical theories in the medical field.
The new public relations major will be housed in the communication studies department. Matt Gill, a professor in the communication studies department, said a number of years ago the provost asked communication studies and journalism to deal with the fact that they each had an option in public relations. “We have been working on rectifying that issue for years,” Gill said. Public relations is already one of communication studies’ biggest options. Gill said the public relations major is growing in many areas. “It has awful high ceilings for job placement, for salaries, it’s growing not just in the United States, but globally,” Gill said. Gill said he felt the program could become very successful, even one of the best in the nation.
“Our (program) is a balance between theory and practice,” Gill said. “It is both providing the necessary theoretical and critical skills to figure out what to do and why and when to do it, but at the same time we’re also doing a lot of handson work.” The courses have been updated to keep up with the university learning goals, as well as to create an online component. CMN 3960 was revised to change the title to make it more clear. “Currently, we have three major PR courses now, which we are deleting,” Gill said. “One of the things that happened with this course is that we get to do less now.” Gill said they are able to focus the content of the course more on what the course is specifically about.

Coronation to begin 100th Homecoming By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News This year marks the 100th anniversary of Eastern’s Homecoming, and one of the events kicking off the week is the coronation of Eastern’s Homecoming King, Queen, Prince and Princess. The coronation event starts at 7 p.m. Monday in McAfee Gym and those students who are nominated for court royalty will reign through Eastern’s Homecoming festivities. Alexis Lambert, a co-coordinators for the Homecoming committee, said the coronation of Homecoming royalty is very similar to how it is run in most high schools. “We are electing a royal court to our entire university,” Lambert said. “We expect for them to help increase awareness of Eastern Illinois University and help pump up the school spirit that we are having for the year as a whole, but especially
during the week.” Lambert said even after some mishaps with students voting for who should be a member of the roy-
al court, the final outcome had no negative impact. “Actually a lot of students were afraid, and not just students, but the candidates were afraid that it was going to affect the outcome of the results for the Homecoming campaign,” Lambert said. Lambert said student votes that were not counted received another email saying their vote was not counted and they would have to vote again. The overall theme for Homecoming is celebrating the 100 years the event has had at Eastern. “The official theme is ‘100 never looked so good,’ but something that we did decide to do is do a decade a day,” Lambert said. “For each day, there will be a different decade.” Lambert said the coronation will be a “Roarin’ ‘20s” theme. Nathan Wehr, the interim assistant director of student life, said throughout the week, each day is
going to be focusing on a different decade. “Tuesday is the 1930s to 1940s, Wednesday is 1950s to 1960s and Thursday is 1970s to 1980s,” Wehr said. “That’s why ‘90s are Friday and on Saturday, we’re bringing it back all 100 years of coming home, past and present for the parade.” Wehr said many of the student groups on campus picked a specific year that was important to them for the parade. “This year, we will have them in order for the parade of starting from the earliest to the present day,” Wehr said. “That’s going to be something really neat this year for the parade.” Homecoming starts with the sidewalk parties at 11 a.m. in the Library Quad.

City Council to vote on property annexation By Mackenzie Freund City Editor | @mgfreund_news
C ASSIE BUCHMAN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Booker Sanders and Dillon Burton, both Charleston residents, relax in the massage chairs Sunday in the Bridge Lounge of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Sanders and Burton said they come to Eastern “every now and then” to play basketball and are considering coming to the university in the future.
The Charleston City Council will have a public hearing about a plan to annex more property into the city limits Tuesday. The planned property to be voted on is located at the southeast corner of the city limits at the 2600 block of 18th Street. The property is approximately 1.9 acres and is currently open, wooded and vacant, according to the plot ordinance. The meeting will begin with the hearing at 6:15 p.m. before the scheduled start time of 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday in Charleston City Hall. Three different raffle licenses are on the consent agenda with recommendations to be approved. The Ashmore Parent-Teacher Organization has requested a raffle license in order to raise money for field trips and extracurricular activities, according to their license application. The raffle sales will begin on Nov. 13
until the announcement of the winners on Dec. 8. The Charleston Chill Softball Organization also put in a raffle application to raise money to help with tournament entries, equipment and uniform costs. The players in the organization will be selling raffle tickets from Friday to Dec. 5 and the winners are planning to be announced on Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. The last raffle license request is for the Eastern Illinois University Fraternal Order of Police. They plan to begin selling their tickets around Eastern’s campus on Oct. 22 through Nov. 14. The Fraternal Order of Police is to sell raffle tickets to bring awareness of police work while also raising money for the organization. The council will also be voting on the consent agenda to make Oct. 18- Oct. 24 as National Business Women’s Week. Mackenzie Freund can be reached at 581-2812 or mgfreund@eiu.edu
Potluck brings international students together By Alex Seidler Staff Reporter | @DEN_News As judges cast their votes, people ate cultural foods and played games during the International Potluck event Friday. The event consisted of cultural foods such as African chicken, Russian cabbage soup, bisi bele bath, veg biryani, fish curry and more. While cultural music played during the event, judges voted on the best food served. Shravani Akula, a graduate student, won first place for her Bakshalu, a traditional sweet served in Karnataka, India. She received an apron as her prize. Shraddha Shrestha, the president of the Association of International Students, said the event turned out better than she expected. “There were more people than last
time,” Shrestha said. “Last year it was held in Morton Park and it was cold.” The attendees were community members, Eastern students, Lake Land Community College students, high school students, parents and children. Mark Bettinger, the director of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, said the group came to the event to learn more about other cultures and different groups. “We wanted our students to experience international cuisine and to meet students from around the world,” Bettinger said. “It was fantastic and I think we can do well by learning about cultures different from our own.” Ahmed Salim Nuhu, the secretary of AIS, hosted the game Pass the Parcel while people continued tasting the food.
Players of the game pass around a small bucket of cards while music is played and try to avoid having the bucket when the music stops. The person holding the bucket after the music stops had to stand in front of everyone and perform the card’s actions. “We planned this out very well and it exceeded our expectations,” Nuhu said. “The level of excitement was every bit amazing and I hope this subsequent more participation in other events to come.” Maleeha Zia, a Lake Land student, talked about her culture and country of Pakistan to the crowd. “I thought it was scary and fun,” Zia said. “It’s fun because I’m more than willing to speak about my country and scary because I was not prepared to do it in front of that many people.” While on stage, Zia said some
people are unaware of where Pakistan is and often confuse Pakistanis for Indians a lot. Muhammad Alshanbari, the network administrator at Lake Land, had to count backwards from 50 within 30 seconds on stage for being the person who was left with the bucket. “It was really hard and confusing,” Alshanbari said. “I accidentally said 92 instead of 29 while counting.” During the game, each person who performed an action from his or her card received a cup full of candy. Nazmi Turker, a graduate student, said he appreciated not just the food, but events like the International Potluck. “The food is stimulating and I loved it because you get to try lots of different kinds of food you never had any idea existed,” Turker said. Sangram Kodavatikanti, the pas-
tor for Charleston Community Church, said he hopes to provide more help to international students throughout the community. “We want to give international students more opportunities and to bring people from local areas and bring them together,” Kodavatikanti said. Kodavatikanti said the church could help with providing international students car rides for groceries or other services they need. More people attended the event than the previous year at the Charleston Community Church. Kadavatikanti said he hopes this many attendees come to more future international events like the Sounds of the World. Alex Seidler can be reached at 581-2812 or ajseidler@eiu.edu

Save the people, not the phrase “No Bra Day” has become something of an extreme controversy among society this October. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in an attempt to bring awareness to the disease, an unknown person began the cause “No Bra Day.” People participating are supposed to post a picture while not wearing a bra in support of breast cancer. Pictures have gone from the occasional sideboob to full-on-frontal nudity. Breast cancer awareness has been fighting the sexualization of the disease for many years, and this particular event seems to magnify the ongoing battle against it. Instead of raising awareness for the disease itself, the day has simply turned the male population into a squealing bunch of boys waiting to see boobs all over the Internet. This event is not the first degrading cause to use breast cancer awareness as its excuse for sexual marketing. The many phrases such as “Save the Boobies” and “Save Second Base” have been used for years now. It is disgusting how the world has to turn a life threatening disease like breast cancer into a sexualized situation. The world is used to seeing boobs being used in marketing; therefore, the idea to use boobs to spread awareness for breast cancer does not seem wrong even though it certainly is. Though breast cancer is mainly found in women, there is also a 1-in-1,000 chance that a male can be diagnosed with breast cancer. In those cases we are leaving their fight out when saying “Save the Boobies.” When using these types of phrases, society also sets itself up to make breast cancer’s problem seem like it is about women becoming less desirable to the male population instead of it being about saving a humans life. When spreading awareness for this disease, the world leaves out the harsh realities that are tied to it. People do not want to see the mastectomy scars and the hair-loss. If awareness for the disease is truly going to happen, the best way to do so would be by sharing the story of those who have fought the disease itself. Instead of posting pictures of your perfectly perky boobs, post a story of a family member, a friend’s family member, etc. who have been affected by the disease on a personal level. Breast cancer awareness is not a month to be made about yourself and your own healthy body. It is not about wearing and buying pink products, posting porn-like pictures and “Saving the Boobies.” It is about spreading awareness about those who have lost their healthy body and now fight for their life and sharing stories of those who fought and survived or who gave it their all, including their life.

Students can combat flu season, stay healthy Flu and cold season will soon grip Eastern’s campus, along with colder temperatures, but there are ways for students to prevent the worst. The Daily Eastern News covered the free flu shot event hosted by Health Service and the Coles County Health Department in Wednesday’s edition. The flu shots were free for Eastern students, faculty, staff and retirees. The event was hosted in an effort to decrease the spread of flu on campus and keep the Eastern community as a whole healthier throughout flu season. Although the event has passed, free flu shots are still available for Eastern students while supplies last at Health Service, according the its website. Flu shots can provide a defense against
the illness that can often leave students laid up in bed, missing class and getting behind on assignments. On top of feeling terrible, the flu and colds can have a negative impact on academic performance, work and what meager social lives students may have left as final exams approach. Besides getting a flu shot, practicing healthy habits in daily routines can help combat illness. As easy as it is to roll out of bed, toss on a sweatshirt and head to class, skimping on warm layers can lead to illness. The great thing about layering up before heading to class in cold weather is that, as the day progresses, it is easy to cool down by taking off a jacket or sweater.
College students are similar to kindergartners because both tend to share more germs than they are aware of. So washing hands regularly and keeping hands out of mouths is a must. Because students share such close quarters, it is easy for students to pass illnesses. For serious cases, a trip to the HERC can result in a doctor’s note, or a ‘get out of jail free’ card. If a medical professional deems an illness too severe or too contagious to attend class, staying home and resting is a public service. As a community, everyone on campus can make an effort to keep Eastern healthy. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Campus sexual assault violence is not about race On Tuesday at 2 a.m., every Eastern student received an email that informed him or her of the sexual assault incident that happened on Oct. 12. As people heard about what happened early that evening in the W parking lot, there was a lot of discussion on Yik Yak. Since the email described the two that assaulted the victim as African-American males, the issue of sexual assault turned into a debate on racial stereotypes. Many of the offensive and anonymous messages criticized the Gateway Program at Eastern, and said that many of individuals from Chicago were responsible for these crimes, and said that African Americans were “meeting their stereotypes.” This is problematic, considering that the previous robberies on campus were by high school students, not any of the students in the Gateway Program. This also alienates an entire race as criminals, and makes an uncomfortable environment for a place that is supposed to advocate diversity. These anonymous messages are not only hurtful to a large group of people, but also to the victim who may see the posts. Focusing on the race of these attackers
Abbey Whittington takes away from the issue that we should be facing: sexual assault. The discussion of race rather than the attack belittles the victim and what happened to them while also ignoring how they are feeling and dealing with the horrifying situation. By focusing on the wrong issues, it may make the victim feel even more unsafe. With 1-in-5 students being victims of sexual assault on college campuses, the most important thing is our safety, not the color of someone’s skin. Rape culture is an issue that is alive all over the nation, and the amount of vic-
tims will never decrease when the focus is completely shifted away from the victim. We all know that the crimes on campus make us want to walk a little faster at night, grip our keys a little tighter and bring us to the closest stores that sell pepper spray or pocket knives; however, we should be working to end our fearful paranoia instead of worsening it with racist accusations and assumptions. Even if the two that are responsible for sexual assault are students from Eastern, it is not OK to assume anyone’s background, or to generalize a certain group of people as those who assault others. No individual should have to prove their innocence just because of their background or ethnicity. It is important to unite the student body instead of separating it with stereotypes. In order to end these crimes we need to raise awareness on sexual assault to lessen the amount of victims. Abbey Whittington is a freshman journalism major.

“The bigger issue would be finding a bank large enough to loan us money,” McCann said. “There are all kinds of lending limits that the banks have, you would just have to find a bank with a lending limit that was high enough that they could loan us the money.” McCann said he still thinks that the most likely scenario is that the state will pass a budget and the university will get appropriations.

The Nancy Hennings Memorial poetry reading will take place at 6 p.m. Monday at Bob’s Bookstore in the Charleston Square. The reading, hosted by Eastern’s English department, will feature three published poets reading some of their work. The three poets are Sandy Longhorn, Daiva Markelis and Jonathan Brown. Longhorn is the author of three award-wining poetry books and her poems explore how one’s physical health can affect every aspect of one’s day. Markelis is an English professor whose short stories and other creative work has been featured in more than ten different literary reviews. Brown is an Eastern graduate student, studying rhetoric and composition. Joe Judd, the owner of Bob’s Bookstore, said Eastern had contacted him about using the space in his store about a month in advance to help coordinate for the event. Judd said this is the first time Eastern has contacted him to host one of their events at his bookstore. “When we host anything that has to
do with the university, there is usually a fairly decent crowd,” Judd said. “It would be nice to host more stuff.” This is the second reading Bob’s bookstore has hosted within the last few weeks. Recently, the store was the host of a fiction book reading where authors Mary Maddox and Letitia Moffitt read off some of their work. Like the fiction reading, those who attend the Nancy Hennings Memorial poetry reading will be able to ask the poets any question they may have in mind. “I think that kind of stuff is important for the students to get into, that’s what authors do,” Judd said. “Even famous authors give readings and that’s the same with poets. These poets are published writers and they’re still reading their poems someplace.” Judd said the reading is a way for individuals to get off Eastern’s campus. “You have poetry, which is art, within the community. Clearly the university supports that and a lot of the local businesses do too,” Judd said. The event is free and open to the public. Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Despite these rumors and concerns about appropriations coming from the state, Glassman said the school would be able to get through the next semester as well as future semesters and years. Appropriations are funds given to universities from the state. Glassman said a new year sets up new appropriations, and Eastern is not the only school having problems. “A new year sets up new appropria-
tions,” Glassman said. The reason they are having problems is because they all need appropriations from the state that they are not getting. All universities need these appropriations, no matter how big or small they are. The nine public state universities in Illinois sent a letter to Gov. Bruce Rauner and other state leaders asking
them to end the fiscal impasse. “We talked about appropriations from the state, how important they are,” Glassman said. “We are all in this together.” Glassman said each year Eastern eventually receives the appropriations it needs from the state. “We’re hoping the budget gets passed as soon as possible,” Glassman said. “It’s hard to say at this point how
long we will go before the appropriations are put in place.” In the case that it does not receive these appropriations, a contingency plan allows the school to keep being funded and able to pay faculty and staff.
Gill said they did not really do marketing. Reid said she would find it useful to have a statement that made sure this public relations program was not duplicating anything from the business school. “I think it would be useful to have one sentence in there that says there’s been conversations with the school of business,” Reid said.
“The higher you get in this major, the more there might be things that marketing would go over that a person majoring in PR could benefit from.” Gill said there were also letters from people in the school of journalism and business in his proposal. The CAA also heard program reviews from the music department
and the economics department to see how they are upholding Illinois Board of Higher Education standards. They will hear next week from the Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies program.

CMN 3965 is the second course to CMN 3960. CMN 3960 is class where they do introductory public relations writing, where students learn about background elements to public relations like press releases. “We do stuff that has been foundational to the profession for a long time,” Gill said. With the next course, Gill said
they will get to have a little more fun and they will not need a textbook for it. “ We’re working in spaces we don’t have texts for,” Gill said. “It’s looking at cutting-edge, modern ways for which we’re writing.” Debra Reid, a history professor, asked how the course related to marketing and the whole business college.

The future of rural America is a key reason that Debra Reid, a history professor, and Laingen came together with faculty from the colleges of science, arts and humanities, education, and professional studies to develop a minor in rural studies. The minor is offered to students in Fall 2015. “It seemed like a good time when the university is challenged to attract students and we’re sitting in one of the largest, if not the largest, soybean producing county in the state,” Reid said. Despite its rural surroundings, there has never been a formal curriculum at Eastern that focused on agriculture or rural issues. Reid said when higher education in Illinois was established, the University of Illinois, being the “land grant” university, was designated the responsibility of teaching agriculture and industry to the masses. Schools like Eastern and Illinois State, which began as normal schools, were given the responsibility of educating teachers. The rural studies minor has the potential to appeal to students transferring to Eastern from Lake Land College, according to the rural studies minor proposal. Lake Land ranks second in Illinois and 12th nationally in graduates with associates degrees in agriculture, according to Community College Week 2014’s top 100. The proposal also said that Eastern students pursuing teacher certification could add
to their credentials relative to vocational agricultural education and science-based majors. Humanities and fine arts students could also be attracted to the minor. Reid and Laingen teach the minor’s two core courses and share a common thread. Laingen, originally from Odin, Minn., grew up on a farm that raised corn, soybeans and pigs. Reid grew up on a diversified farm in Rockwood, in the hills of southern Illinois. The two corresponded before finally having the opportunity to meet while each was serving on the Council on Academic Affairs. “About five years ago somebody said, ‘Oh, you should talk to Chris about rural studies,’” Reid said. “So we emailed, and emailed and emailed.” Laingen, who teaches agricultural geography, said students who take the course SUBMIT TED PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS would examine the major forms of agricultural produc- Danny Otto, a professor in the philosophy department, extion in the U.S. since World plains how Hindsboro farmer Jeff Chambliss’ John Deer 9770 War II and the ways each has combine operates to students in his Food and Philosophy changed over time, from both course on Tuesday in Hindsboro. a topical and regional perspective.

Women’s swim team beats Western Friday
By Sean Hastings Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports
The Eastern men’s and women’s swim teams started their seasons this past weekend that had 12 swimmers swimming for the first time at the collegiate level. The men and women both competed in the Illinois Invitational on Friday competing against Illinois, Western and Olivet Nazarene. The women swam against Illinois, Olivet and Western, but the men only went against Western and Olivet. Although the men were not able to get a win against either school, the women were able to outswim Western winning by a score of 241.50171.50. The women lost to Olivet and Illinois by scores of 260-154 and 37166. The men lost to Olivet and Illinois. The women started off the day finishing in fourth in the 800-yard freestyle relay. The team of senior Kelsey Ferguson, freshman Martee Grainger, senior Beth Houghton and junior Paige Eavenson came in with a time

of 8:19.38. Illinois won with a time of 7:27.17. The men also took fourth in their 800-yard freestyle relay. Freshman Nick Harkins, sophomore Steve Fishman, sophomore Bryan McPherson and senior Jake Roberts turned in a
time of 7:20.09, 17 seconds behind the team of Olivet, who won. Junior Brogan O’Doherty was one of the top swimmers for the men as he had a couple top five finishes. O’Doherty won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 52.93
touching the wall just before senior Jacob Anderson of Olivet. He also came in second for the 50-yard backstroke with a time of 25.26, just over a second behind Anderson. Senior Kaylee Morris finished in fourth for the women’s 50-yard butterfly, just three seconds behind freshman Lori Lynn of Illinois. The top three swimmers were all from Illinois. The teams also competed on Saturday when they hosted Indiana-Purdue University at Indianapolis at the Padovan Pool with many swimmers seeing improvements. Grainger was one of the swimmers who dropped her times in the meet. She posted a 29.24 in the 200-yard medley, .13 seconds better than her previous times. This was her first weekend of collegiate swimming, and she said she was pretty happy with how things went. “It’s always good to drop time and for this point in the season, it felt pretty good,” Grainger said. Grainger swam in events that she normally does not swim in, so she said that she told herself any result would be a good one in her eyes.
Sophomore Brandon Robbins also saw his time in the 200-yard freestyle drop by 2.17 seconds. He finished with a time of 1:49.43. All three swimmers for Eastern in the women’s 50-yard freestyle saw a time drop. Morris finished with a time of 24.77 improving by .32 seconds, senior Bridgett Bowen saw a time drop of .71 seconds to finish at 27.92 and junior Jessie Freudenthaler improved by .60 posting a time of 28.22. Although the teams did not get as many wins as they would have liked, Ferguson, a captain of the women’s team, said they were happy with how things went. “Overall I think it was a good weekend for the team, we had some standout swims and everyone raced every event until the end,” Ferguson said. She said the women’s team’s win against Western just came from staying focused and taking it race by race. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
Eastern falls to Eastern Kentucky at Lakeside By Elias Albert Staff Reporter |@DEN_Sports Eastern fell to Eastern Kentucky 3-0 at home Friday to drop to 1-5-1 in OVC play and 3-11-2 overall this season. Eastern surrendered their first goal of the game in the 41st minute by way of a penalty kick. Eastern Kentucky then scored goals in the 55th and 79th minutes. Coach Jason Cherry said his team executed their game plan throughout the game, but Eastern Kentucky was just the better team during the game. “I thought we came out and played very well,” Cherry said. “We just didn’t match their energy and desire.” Eastern managed to take five shots during the game with one being on goal. They also recorded just one corner kick attempt offensively. “We had a hard time getting things going,” Cherry said. “We came out flat and didn’t connect on our passes well.” Eastern sophomore forward Madi Fisher led the team in shot attempts with two and had the team’s lone ongoal attempt. Forward senior Molly Hawkins, freshmen defenders Kate Olson and Kayla Stolfa combined to add the other three. Defensively, Eastern had a strong first half, but lost the momentum in the second. Eastern Kentucky managed 16

shots, 12 of which were on goal, which means they played an accurate and efficient game that Eastern struggled to keep up with. “I thought we ended up chasing the game,” Cherry said. Despite allowing three goals during the game, freshman goalkeeper Maddie Lyon made nine saves, including six in the first half. In the recent stretch of home games, Lyon recorded three regulation shut-
outs and just four total goals in the four games. She also averaged about seven saves per game during that stretch. Cherry said he was satisfied with play of center back junior Emily Wolf, who was in for the injured red-shirt junior Lindsey Marino. Eastern also showed discipline as a team, as they usually do, but playing a clean game without a single booking and just two offside calls.

Cafe begins live music event every Saturday evening By Brad York Verge Editor
Jackson Avenue Coffee (J.A.C.) is a location to go blowoff steam, study for hours on end and socialize as the creamy fragrance of lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates stream though the air. J.A.C., located at 708 Jackson Ave., may sound like an unusual place for a concert setting, but Dan Reible believes it is the perfect location for live music that has not been offered to Charleston in some time. “In the Charleston area there is no place to relax and listen to music except for a bar,” Reible said. “I’d like a place where people can come relax, have a cup of coffee, sandwich, bagel and take it easy and listen to some good acoustic music.” Reible and his wife Vicki are currently shuffling through papers in order to become the rightful owners of J.A.C.
Reible moved to Mattoon in 1984 after serving in the Navy and soon became a truck driver, traveling the nation with his wife. Reible has played for various bands in the past and mentioned to his friend, Ryan Dawson and the current owner of J.A.C., he was looking for a place to host weekly concerts on Saturday evenings. Dawson then asked Reible if he ever pictured himself owning a café. Reible expressed an interest, and soon, Dawson offered to sell the business. Dawson said the Reibles’ have been his customers since J.A.C. opened nearly eight years ago. “I planned on going back to school this summer to complete a degree in teacher’s certification,” Dawson said. “We were ready to move on to new things. I figured it is best not to run anything into the ground, so I offered to sell the place.” Dawson has high hopes for

One local musician, Mitch Davis, a senior management information systems major, saod he plans on showing the crowd some new tunes to commemorate the new event. “I mainly like to get people dancing, but I also play some more chill stuff,” Davis said. “I don’t want people to get burnt out, so I’ll make new songs before the shows.

That’s why I am expecting to play in front of a totally new crowd, so I really got to try to pump people up.” With a wide variety of performances including blues, rock, jam band, electronic and rap everyone is beginning to develop expectations for the new event and Chaplinski is no different. “I want to be able to be out on the square, outside the bars and see people
having a good time,” Chaplinski said. “I want to hear, sort of over-hear, what they did like and what they didn’t like. I just think there will be a lot of good vibes coming. Perfect conditions for me, is hearing that people had a great time.” Brad York can be reached at 581-7942 or bayork@eiu.edu.

Wickliffe’s interception leads Panthers to victory By Blake Nash Staff Reporter |@Banash5 Facing a 3rd and 10 situation, Tennessee State quarterback Ronald Butler took the snap from center and fired the ball toward the end zone during the first overtime period. Eastern red-shirt senior cornerback Jourdan Wickliffe read the ball and intercepted it to give Eastern its third consecutive victory, 25-22. The Panthers move to 3-3 on the season, and 3-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play, following Wickliffe’s interception, and a 26-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Nick Bruno on their only possession of overtime. Both Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville also
have 3-0 records in the OVC. Red-shirt senior cornerback Dylan Chatman also picked off a pass at a very crucial time. The Tigers had the ball on the Panthers 9-yard line with seven seconds remaining in the first half, when Butler threw his first interception of the day. Chatman read the Tigers quarterback and intercepted the ball, to end the half with Eastern leading 14-10. Chatman also broke up a pass earlier in the red zone on that drive. He finished with three tackles. His fellow teammate in the secondary, Wickliffe, also recorded two tackles. Earlier on that drive, senior linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill was disqualified for targeting, and did not re-
turn in the second half. The Panthers defense proved to be stingy, holding the Tigers to 12 points and 48 total yards in the second half. Grugier-Hill had four tackles before he had to leave the game. Red-shirt sophomore Nick Horne filled in for Grugier-Hill and recorded four tackles, including two for loss. Junior middle linebacker Seth McDonald led the defense with eight tackles. Before the game there were questions about how much playing time red-shirt junior running back Devin Church would have. Church did not start the game, but led the Panthers rushing attack with 17 carries for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Graduate student Jerron Seymour started for the
Panthers. The ground game totaled 181 yards, which included 37 yards from senior quarterback Jalen Whitlow. Whitlow completed 12-of-27 passes for 120 yards and a 65-yard touchdown pass to red-shirt sophomore tight end Addison Bounds. That was Bounds only catch of the day, and his third touchdown in three games. Whitlow also threw two interceptions, both of which were on the first possession of each half. His counterpart, Butler, posted similar numbers, going 12-of-28 for 125 yards and a touchdown. He threw two interceptions as well. He was sacked three times by McDonald, GrugierHill and Horne.
Butler was active running the ball. He led the Tigers ground game with 104 yards on 18 carries, which included a 30-yard touchdown run to put Tennessee State on the board, and tie the game at 7-7. Wide receiver Patrick Smith caught three passes for 55 yards. It was the first time that the Eastern offense failed to score at least 30 points, since a shutout loss at Northwestern last month. The Panthers will return to Charleston Saturday for homecoming. They will host Tennessee Tech with a kickoff time of 1 p.m. Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu
Volleyball team comes back, beats SEMO 3-2 Saturday By Sean Hastings Assistant Sports Editor |@DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team has dominated almost every team it has faced this year winning all matches 3-1 or 3-0. Southeast Missouri State changed that on Saturday forcing the Panthers to go five sets. The Panthers hosted and defeated SEMO on Saturday and defeated UT Martin 3-1 on Friday in Lantz Arena. Eastern defeated SEMO in five sets 3-2 in a very close battle. Eastern was facing elimination, being down 2-1. The Panthers won the first set 25-22 in a set that consisted of the Eastern and SEMO trading points back and forth for most of the way. The longest scoring run that either team had was three points. Eastern went on two 3 point scoring runs with one at the end that helped the Panthers get a 2319 lead. SEMO was able to pull out a 2624 win in the second set, a match that seemed to be won by Eastern. Eastern had 24-20 lead but a 6-0 run by the Redhawks ended the second set in favor of SEMO 26-24. The Redhawks also won the third set 25-20 only needing to win one more to win the match but Eastern came out and go the key win in the fourth set 25-17. Once again scoring runs were key as Eastern went on a 5-0 scoring run to go up 8-4 and never trailed again.
Eastern had to play comeback at the end of the fifth set to get the 16-14 win. Eastern was down 14-13 not being able to give up a point to SEMO, scored three straight to get the win. The Panthers were shorthanded in the match as they were without senior Abby Saalfrank and freshman Nicole Schladt. Saalfrank is usually relied on to get a lot of kills and Schaldt is out there to get some digs for the Eastern defense, but that didn’t stop the Panthers from getting 79 kills and 94 digs. Sophomore Allie Hueston led with 17 kills and freshman Taylor Smith led with 22 digs. SEMO only had 63 kills and 80 digs. SEMO was 3-4 coming into the match but senior Stephanie Wallace and the rest of the Panthers knew that didn’t mean anything. “SEMO has always been a big rivalry for us in conference and always seems to go five sets,” Wallace said. “So we knew it would be tough and they weren’t going to give up at all.” Wallace said that they will have to keep playing that tough all throughout the season. Eastern coach Sam Wolinski called this a great win against SEMO. “Today was a very gritty win for our team,” Wolinski said. “After dropping that second set while up 24-21 the team was determined to find a way when we started the fourth set.” She said the team’s aggressiveness

picked up and having four players with double digit kills and digs played a big role in the win. The match against UT Martin was not as close as Saturday’s but a win is a win. Eastern won the first two sets 25-16 and 25-18, UT Martin won the third 2624 and Eastern won the fourth 25-19. The Panthers were able to go on long scoring runs that enabled them to get big
leads and hold them. “Our aggressive serving and defense allowed us to get on long runs and maintain those leads most of the time,” Wallace said. Red-shirt sophomore Josie Winner has stepped up in Saalfrank’s absence and getting a lot of kills for the Panthers. Winner had eight in the match. “Josie has come back to (do) a great
job playing in the middle,” Wolinski said. “It’s great to have our middles playing at a high level.” Eastern is now 6-2 in OVC play and will take on Austin Peay and Murray State this weekend. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
