Greeks to host breast cancer walk By Torri Griffith Staff Reporter | @DEN_News In efforts to bring awareness to breast cancer, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. will be holding their first interactive walk. T h i s w a l k w i l l t a k e p l a c e a t 3 p. m . Wednesday meeting at Ninth Street Hall. It will continue on to Andrews Hall then end at Old Main. Melanie Dyer, the president of Zeta Phi Beta, said this walk is a way for students to hear personal stories from others to become aware of the disease. Phillip Love, the president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said many people have important stories that need to be told in regards to breast cancer. Michael McGee, chairman of membership intake, said this is the first time the two organizations have worked together to have an interactive walk. “With every event we do we look to evolve to add more involvement,” McGee said. McGee said his fraternity helps the progress of African-Americans. He said this event can help with the progress of not only African-American women, but women of all races. “Our organization takes pride in helping with major causes such as this,” McGee said. At each station members of the organizations will be telling personal stories about breast cancer. “This is more than just a breast cancer walk, these are real people telling real stories,” Love said. The members of the organizations will tell how breast cancer has affected their lives. Some of them have had family members who were diagnosed with breast cancer and they will tell their survival stories. Information about how to get tested will also be given out during the walk. “I wanted this walk to have some kind of meaning behind it further than just breast cancer,” Love said. Dyer and Love both agreed on it being very easy to get members of their organizations to come out and share their personal stories. They said while dealing with sickness in family members, it could sometimes be difficult to come out to people and tell how it affected them or their family members. “Sometimes hearing personal stories can give others strength and motivation,” Dyer said. “Asking the members of my organization who have been affected was very easy. They were all on board.” The targeted audience for this event is not just women, they want anyone who has been affected by breast cancer or has seen anyone affected by breast cancer to come out and support the walk. Love said many events on campus have dealt with breast cancer, but he wanted this walk to be a way to have a real conversation. He said this walk is a way to show the reality of the disease. “I believe women are aware of breast cancer. Getting them to go out and get tested is where the problem comes in,” Love said.

Diva Drag Show engages audience By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News Posed in a white and jeweled flowing gown, Kelasia Karmikal, lip synced music while swaying down the T-shaped runway in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Karmikal walked enticingly down stage after revealing the last trick up her long sleeve, another outfit. She relieved herself of the elegant gown and pre-
sented the second outfit, underneath her first one. As the show went on, all of the queens wowed the crowd with their changing outfits and fierce stares. This year’s Diva Drag Show included several performances from different queens across central Illinois. These queens have been performing at Eastern for more than 10 years. Clad in a pink and black rhinestone dress, Ceduxion Carrington, the animated emcee for the night, kicked one heel in the air as she went into
a cart wheel and ending in a split, received a loud cheer from the audience. “Not too bad for a 38-year-old,” Carrington said. The silhouette of Calexus Carrington-Steele appeared as she walked down the runway preparing to twirl her purple shimmering dress for the crowd.

Faculty Forum scheduled for Wednesday By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman A faculty forum on shared governance will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the Effingham Hall in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The forum will cover shared governance from the past and future.
Todd Bruns, dean of library services and chair of faculty forum committee, brought the idea up for a forum at previous Faculty Senate meetings. The forum was originally the idea of one of Bruns’s colleagues on Faculty Senate who proposed the upcoming confidence/no confidence regarding Provost Blair Lord, vice president of
academic affairs. After the senate discussed the forum, they decided to have a forum that focused more on shared governance in general, since some of the discussion regarding the vote was about shared governance.

High-pitched screams filled the air while characters were being killed during the "Dracula" show put on by the Charleston Alley Theatre. The Charleston Alley Theatre held their closing show for their fall show, "Dracula," Monday at the theatre. The show was directed by Tony Cox, treasurer of the theatre board, and took roughly eight weeks to set up completely. Linda Bagger, vice president and historian of the board, said the show took a little longer because it was a heavy tech show. “(Cox) needed a lot of extra time, a lot of props, and a lot things like that, so eight weeks,” Linda Bagger said. Cox said he likes that the show has dark comedy, because there are not many shows that are horror plays about horror stories. “This is one of the few plays I’ve found that I really, really like,” Cox said. “Its well written, its very close to the novel, (Steven Dietz) did a wonderful job putting together the play, that’s why we did the same version we did last time.” During the play, you see Renfield, played by D. Craig Banyai, eating a rubber rat at the beginning, before you see him in the asylum. All through the show, there were different emotional scenes during the characters, as well as some violent times, such as when Dracula kills Renfield. "Dracula" was not only held at the Charleston Alley Theatre. It was a travelling show to Mattoon. "Dracula" was the second show put on by the theatre that has been a traveling show, which means they took the show and their set to the bus and train depot in Mattoon and performed shows for audiences there. “Mattoon is wonder ful, and they’ve been so nice to us, and we really enjoy going,” Linda Bagger said. Linda Bagger said the lighting

system was different, and that was one of the troubles the show faced while it was in Mattoon. “Their lighting system is all LED and its all computerized, and really nobody knows how to run it really well,” Linda Bagger said. When the theatre went to Mattoon, they had to take some of their lighting and sound equipment, along with their stage, so the show would be able to run more smoothly. When the theatres has shows at home, the “techs” run the show blind because the system controls are behind the brick wall that sits behind the set. Linda Bagger said the techs that run the system have to rely on sound cues in order to be accurate in the shows. “It is awesome, but its difficult,” Linda Bagger said. “But we’ve been doing it for 25 years.” Melissa Akins, a volunteer for the theatre, said she likes the people they meet through the Mattoon shows.

“The audience they get over there is different too and they’re also really nice,” Akins said. “Its nice having fresh people sometimes.” Demetrius Johnson, playing Dr.
Seward Head of the Lunatic Asylum, said this was the first show he ever acted in. Johnson said the theatre offered him the part after he arrived late to an improve night. “I didn’t choose Dracula, they chose me,” Johnson said. “I was going to try for a small part, maybe as an attendant or something, and they were like ‘no, no were going to give you a main role’.” The show, quite literally, ended with a bang, when after the cast had come out, two flash boxes exploded and Dracula emerged from the coffin he was originally in. Duke Bagger, president of the board and the actor who played Professor Van Helsing, said he enjoys setting them off because of audience reaction. “I told you, I had another surprise coming,” Duke Bagger said.

Calculus crunch

Police warn of fake IRS callers
Staff Report | @DEN_News
JOSH SAX TON | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Wonjin Song, a junior economics major, does his Calculus 2 homework while working the front desk in Thomas Hall on Monday.
The Charleston Police Department issued a press release Monday warning Charleston residents of fraudulent phone calls from scammers claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service. According to the press release, two Charleston residents have reported being called from someone who alleged to be from the IRS. The reports indicate that the caller has an accent and threatens to arrest the person if they do not send money. The caller also specifies that the money is supposed to be sent via money gram or money order. Police urge people to be aware that the IRS does not communicate with the public in this manner. Police also recommend being suspicious of anyone who calls on the telephone asking for or demanding money and being prepared to ask questions of the individual on the other line.
Philosophy professors to discuss devil’s existence By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News Eastern’s Philosophy Club came up with a new panel discussion event discussing if the devil truly exists in the world. Five professors from the philosophy department will join the club as part of a discussion panel The panel, “Does the Devil Exist?,” will take place at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Coleman Auditorium. The five professors joining the panel include Brian Beakley, Gary Aylesworth, Dannie Otto, Grant Sterling, and Jason Waller. Panelists will be limited to 10 minutes for their own individual presentation; afterward the discussion will open up to the audience. There will also be a Tarot card reading for one hour prior to the panel, and audience members are invited to wear their Halloween costumes.
Sterling said the philosophy department has done several public discussions and they have discussed the existence of God before and have had good attendance at the events. “Some people think of the devil as the opposite of God—a being of pure evil,” Sterling said. “I think there are good philosophical reasons to believe that such a being is impossible.” Sterling said before they discuss the existence of the devil, people need to have a clear state of mind of what the topic is truly about. “Pure evil, by definition, cannot exist. Existence is a good thing, a purely evil being would be utterly impotent,” Sterling said. “Knowledge is a good thing, so a purely evil being couldn’t know anything at all.” Sterling said if they replace the concept of a “purely evil being” with another concept, there would be no good way to prove or disprove the claim. “Suppose, then, that instead of a
‘purely evil being’ we mean a being possessing great but not infinite power and knowledge, but extremely morally evil,” Sterling said. “In that case, I think that there are no good philosophical arguments to prove or disprove the existence of such a being. There may indeed be religious reasons to believe or not believe.” Sterling said some of the speakers will focus more on the question of what kind of being the devil is and one of the speakers will focus on the nature of evil itself. “I think that discussions like this are opportunities for EIU students and faculty and staff, (and) community members to come together and think about an interesting topic, to see different perspectives and different ideas, and to think about how these issues may relate to other ideas in their lives,” Sterling said. “I enjoy such debates, and I think that bringing ideas into the open and applying reason to them is
a healthy thing. So I very much hope that students and others can come and enjoy themselves and take away things to think seriously about in the future.” Otto said the reasons he was invited to join the panel discussion was because he is a member of the philosophy department and he also teaches religious studies. “I will talk about the devil as a shape-shifter, appearing in different guises through history, especially as a hyper-sexual being,” Otto said. “I will conclude with photographic evidence that the devil exists today.” Waller said one reason the philosophy department decided to do this panel was because it would be fun for people. “We have debated the existence of God publicly a number of times, so for Halloween this year, we thought we would mix it up a bit and argue about the devil,” Waller said. “We were reflecting on how great it is that
the philosophy department has faculty that express such a range of different viewpoints. We were trying to think of something fun to do for Halloween and this idea popped up, so we ran with it.” Waller said his presentation would focus on arguing the existence of the devil. “My argument will be based on the idea that God is ‘maximally creative’, namely, that God creates everything that he can create,” Waller said. “So, if it can exist, then it does exist. Following the same reasoning, I also think there are likely many, perhaps infinitely many, universes other than this one, so it is far from clear whether devils exist in this particular universe, but I think it is likely that they exist somewhere.” Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.

Remove jealousy, be thankful Relationships and life bring up a lot of feelings in a person’s daily experiences such as love, anger, happiness, excitement and jealousy. Jealousy is one of the most problematic of them all. Jealousy can either bring two people or a community together or rip them apart. In a relationship, some males or females find it attractive or exciting when their significant other is jealous or worried that their partner is being romantic with someone else. They find it as a way the other person is being protective. Some go as far to say that they think it shows how much their partner cares for them. Once the couple gets past the lovey-dovey part of jealousy, they might realize that jealousness can be a serious turn-off. For example, if a significant other is so jealous they say that someone is cheating because they just made eye contact or are partnered with another person in class, this may be a sign that it is time to sit down and have a chat about the relationship. Jealousy can also cross into the line of domestic violence. If the significant other is so jealous that they make threats towards their partner, this may be the beginning of an unhealthy relationship. Making threats towards the other person that the partner is jealous of, can also be a red flag. Jealousy in domestic violence can also be when the partner is jealous when their significant other is with their own family and not with them. Jealousy can be a cute or ugly thing in a relationship. However, jealousy is also an ugly thing outside the category of someone’s love life. Jealousy is a feeling that people experience every day. “You got out of class early today? I’m so jealous.” “She has Ugg Boots and a brand-new MacBook pro? I’m so jealous.” “That couple looks so happy. I’m still single and jealous.” Some people may say that jealousy is the ugliest trait someone may have. Being jealous of someone can show that you may not be content in your own life. So, before you become jealous of someone, look at your life or your relationship and be thankful. Do you have clothes on your back? Do you have the privilege to go to class every day? Do you have the chance to have someone to love and experience life with you every day? If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then take a minute in your day to turn off your jealousy and turn up your thankfulness. Sydney Edwards is a freshman marketing major.

Rauner should not hold the budget hostage Illinois will be entering its fifth month without a budget Sunday, and it looks as if there still will not be one anytime soon. In Friday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News, the article “Edgar talks state budget issues” said former Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar came to Eastern to discuss issues with the state budget. Without a budget, Eastern has not been able to receive state appropriations. Edgar said some schools are able to go on without a problem, but Eastern is not one of those schools. President Glassman presented contingency plans to help keep Eastern open and one plan said it will need to use its reserve funds, but those have already been in use for years. Another plan mentioned Eastern would need to take out a loan from a bank large enough to let Eastern borrow money to continue. Edgar supported Gov. Bruce Rauner in the general election last November and said he explained the importance of a budget to Rauner. Rauner is seen as the leader of Illinois, and
the fact that it has been this long without a budget is ridiculous. Edgar also said the governor is the person who is in charge and sets the things that are supposed to be accomplished. Rauner is to set the agenda for the state, and the most important thing that needs to be done is setting the budget. It has been mentioned before, and it will be mentioned again. Without a budget in place, Eastern and the other public Illinois state universities are in financial crisis. Eastern is relying on funds that will not last forever and taking out a loan to continue operation. The article in The News said that Edgar explained the importance of higher education and if it takes any longer students might leave the university. Students were already worrying so much on social media that Glassman had to send an email out to students not to fear about the school closing. The article said that Edgar did not blame Rauner entirely for the budget, but as stat-
ed earlier, he is the leader and he needs to get things done. The governor does not act alone when it comes to the state budget, but it is the job of the governor to make sure one is passed. There are too many disagreements with the budget, but an agreement needs to happen. College students in Illinois even gathered at Springfield urging lawmakers to pass a budget soon. Instead of discussing the budget or trying to get it passed, Rauner is instead making other things happen like signing legislation making pumpkin pie the official state pie of Illinois. Or even making sweet corn the official vegetable of Illinois. While some may find this amusing, there are other things that are more important than deciding the official foods of Illinois. As the budget impasse continues, the state of Illinois will continue to hurt financially. But hey, at least there is an official pie and vegetable. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Avoiding the freshman 15 is possible, easy Among mumps and alcoholism, the dreaded freshman 15 is one of many hazards we were warned about upon being introduced to the college life. When you’re huffing and puffing after climbing one flight of stairs when just five months prior you could run a marathon and still run back home, odds are you caught the freshman 15. Granted, gaining weight in college can be due to stressful factors or not finding the time to eat during the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. However, more and more lately it seems as though this so-called hazard has evolved into nothing more than a pathetic excuse to haphazardly extend the waistline. It’s like saying “oh, I’m going to gain it anyways since it’s a thing and everyone does so I might as well get a head start and just go along with it.” That’s a fallacy imbedded in the minds of freshman. It doesn’t work that way. A bubble bursting moment for some, the freshman 15 can be avoided. Much like washing your hands to avoid a cold, you can take precautions.
Analicia Haynes The freshman 15 is avoidable as long as those precautions are followed. For instance, it’s okay to eat food. There’s a difference between eating healthy and starving; one leads to serious health problems. When you eat, do so in moderation. Instead of getting the large coke and fries try for a medium. In lieu of eating two slices of pizza, restrict yourself to one and eat a substitute for the other slice like a piece of fruit or (dare I say) a salad. Also, be food conscious.
Along with that chicken stir-fry at Taylor try adding a fruit or veggie to the mix instead of fries and avoid the late night munchies as much as you can. Avoid making it a habit to get pizza every night. Don’t let the concept of eating healthy scare you. It’s not all about eating plain, unsalted, disgusting foods that insult your taste buds. There are great tasting foods out there, and they will not be extinct anytime soon. Be sure to treat yourself every now and then also. The last thing you want to do is quit cold turkey and end up suffering from withdrawal. Living a healthy lifestyle leads to multiple benefits. For instance, I’ve noticed an improvement in concentration in my classes not to mention an improvement in my grades. Plus, I’ve come to find that when you look and feel good you have a positive attitude on life and it’s one less thing to be stressed about. Analicia Haynes is a freshman journalism major.

Presentation to prepare students for job fair By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Education majors can prepare at 6 p.m. Wednesday for an upcoming education job fair on campus. The fall education job fair will be 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4 in the Grand Ballroom in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Jennifer Peterson, a career counselor, will be presenting at the education job fair prep. “I’m basically just going over the dos and don’ts of a job fair,” Peterson said. She said a lot of it had to do with planning ahead. Peterson will show students how to use the career services website to see what positions are available and how to research the school district in which they are interested. “You want to dress professionally, as opposed to slacks and a T-shirt,” Peterson said. Peterson will also go over what to bring and networking etiquette. Since the job fair is going to be for education majors, Peterson will talk about what school administrators want. “Students go through so much training, and (administrators) want them to articulate well in practicum,” Peterson said. Peterson said school districts want students to know something about the district they are interested other than the jobs they have. She suggests students bring an extra copy of their resume to the job fair and come early. “We can’t force employers to stay,” Peterson said. As far as outfits go, Peterson said students should dress for a position one step above the position they want. At the job fair, teachers, administrators and special school services will talk to students. Diane Smith, marketing specialist and career advisor at Career Services, said the job fair prep
could help students who have never been to a job fair before. “They sometimes don’t know how to approach it,” Smith said. “(They wonder) what will they ask me? What should I bring?” Smith said the job fair prep will help students have a successful time at the job fair. Students will practice skills at a workshop where they will talk about going to the job fair, what to say, and share feedback from administrators that recruited from Eastern’s job fairs before. Resumes will also be discussed, such as what information to say on one, as well as how to present oneself with a professional image. Smith said some students do not go to the education job fair because they think they will not see their own school district there, but they often find one they like anyway. “Students go, not thinking about a school district, but then they’re offered a contract from them on the spot, and decide to go to that school,” Smith said. Smith said the fair was a good opportunity to start networking and pick up information, as well as being good for students to see what they are looking for. Many schools throughout the state come to the education job fair, even some Eastern alumni. One recruiter for a job fair has even been from Honduras. One thing Career Services recommends students do before the job fair is research the employers that are coming to the fair. Smith said having many people come to the job fair could bring potential recruiters to campus. “High turnout shows students are interested, so recruiters definitely want to come if students show interest in having them on campus,” Smith said.

McGee said breast cancer should be a main concern of college women. He said this should be a concern because there could be things going on now potentially affecting the health of women in the future. Although October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Alpha Phi Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta plans to keep working together to bring awareness of the disease in months other than October. Dyer said they wanted to have this event during the last week of October to give the walk a lasting impression. She said she wants people to take away from everything being said at the walk so they can
see the bigger picture dealing with breast cancer. McGee said they will not ask students to give money during the walk, but they do encourage them to take knowledge away from the event. McGee said the members of Alpha Phi Alpha will personally donate to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Regional Cancer Center. “These stories will touch a person more than giving out candy or just giving facts about breast cancer,” Love said.

“I’ve been to a drag show and there was never king representation and I enjoyed it because it brought diversity to the show,” Bresnahan said. “It added something that was lacking in previous years.” Kicking in the air and swinging her huge Afro came the mother of the house, Chanel Carrington. The “drag mother” of the house grooved to a funky beat as she made her way down stage to audience members. Sheldon Aaron, a graduate student, said the event brought another form of diversity to campus. Aaron said this is a culture many people are not aware of. “It brings the capability of experiencing a different culture for some of the students who one never interacted with LGBT people,” Aaron said. “Or to someone who has never witnessed a drag show.” Ky Martin, sophomore art major, said each year the show brings an experience people in the town or campus usually do not encounter.
“A lot of people aren’t used to seeing drag and it can be an eye-opening experience,” Martin said. “It allows people who typically wouldn’t feel comfortable in a queer space to have fun and realize it’s no different from any other show.” One performance replicating a famous celeb was from Chanel, who dressed in an outfit resembling Beyonce’s 2006 BET Award performance of “Déjà vu.” Another queen who brought out their inner celeb was Kalasia Carmichael, who based a majority of her performance on Janet Jackson songs. “ It’s m o re l i k e a n a r t form,” Amaya said. “ To me it’s like a celebration of art of a woman, and a lot of times we try to emulate celebrities.” Proceeds after the queens and king have been paid will go to SACIS.

In every performance each queen and this year’s king started on stage and lip-synced. By midperformance, they were in the crowd collecting offered money, audience members or the crowd would bring the money to them. Amaya St. James got a good reaction from the crowd with her flirtatious antics. From collecting money mouth to mouth from audience members to shimmying down the aisles of the crowd, Amaya kept the crowd rowdy. With a new themed show came a somewhat new addition to the queens, a king. Justin Zane appeared in front of the crowd with battered jeans and a black plaid shirt. Lip-syncing to the Flobot’s “Handlebars.” Justin earned hoots and whistles as he rapped the song to the crowd. Although this is not the first time Eastern seen a king at the Diva Drag Show, it has been a while since one has performed. Maece Bresnahan, a sophomore education major, said the king was her favorite part.
Calexus’s second performance got loud hoots and hollers as “Hit the Quan,” by iheart Memphis, sounded through the ballroom. She danced downstage and after collecting money from the audience, Calexus threw her earnings in the air and swung her brunette hair wildly. Throughout the show Ceduxion chimed in to amuse the crowd. “If you come in the drag dressing room, you’ll never be the same, I promise you,” Ceduxion said. Along with the humorous chimes the emcee offered, she commented on some societal conflicts going on as well, including marriage equality in all 50 states. She asked the crowd who were either LGBT parents or parents of a LGBT child. “Having a gay child is not the end of the world,” Ceduxion said. “ I know straight friends that have messed up homes.” The queens and king kept their energy up even with their long performances.

“Ideally we will have a robust, informative discussion about shared governance as it has been on this campus and what we would like it to mean going into the future,” Bruns said. At the forum, attendees will discuss Rob Miller’s “A Review of Shared Governance” as well as the work from the committee to study shared governance. The work from this committee was released in 2011. The committee itself was also created in 2011. Bruns said while it is possible

Men’s soccer team to take on Green Bay Tuesday By Maher Kawash Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team is coming off its biggest win of the season, and are now hoping to maintain its momentum as it hits the road to take on Green Bay at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Wisconsin. “We have a group that is building some chemistry, and they are beginning to understand a system of play and how it can work,” Eastern men’s soccer coach Kiki Lara said. The Panthers will go up against a Green Bay team that is 4-8-3 on the season, and in eighth place in the Horizon League. Eastern is coming off of a win that has many people on the team believing that they can end this season on a good note. “The win against IUPUI was very big for us because it gave us a lot more confidence heading into Green Bay,” sophomore Justin Oliver said. “We’re still a confident group who knows that we can play with anyone.” It can be said that the team has used this season as part of a rebuilding process for a program that has not seen much success in past years. The Panthers’ win against Indiana-Purdue University at Indianapolis put their win total at three on the season, which matches the total number of wins from last season. “Anytime you win as a team, you feel the reward and benefit of things that you have been plugging away at for an extended period of time,” Lara said. Eastern has a chance to top last year’s win total and sophomore goalkeeper Mike Novotny said the team has a lot of confidence. “Our goal is to keep the streak go-

ing,” Novotny said. “Confidence is high after our last win, and we are definitely pumped to play Green Bay.” A large part of the team’s success this year is the breakthrough of many freshman. After starting six freshman in Sun-
day’s win, there could be a similar trend in the final four games of the season as the eyes are on the future for this program. “We are hungry for a chance to play and compete, and our group is learning how to compete every
day,” Lara said. After snapping an eight game losing streak, there is certainly a significant desire to end the season on a good note. “ We know that the season is coming to an end, but we need to
finish on a high note especially for all the seniors,” Novotny said. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mmkawash@eiu.edu
Women’s golf team struggles in first day of Fall Classic By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The women’s golf team wrapped up day one of the two-day Evansville Fall Classic in 10th place out of the 11 teams competing in the event. Evansville, the host of the Fall Classic, leads the competition so far with a team score of 318 on Monday. The four teams are right on their tail as Butler is in second with a score of 322, Indiana State in third with 323 and Northern Kentucky and Lipscomb tied at fourth with scores of 325.
The top player from Monday was Kayla Katterhenry from Evansville who finished even with her score of 72. Miriam Parker from Lipscomb University was right behind her with a score of 73, just a stroke over. In third and fourth are Marissa Uradomo and Lauren Tibbets with score of 74 and 77. Uradomo, from Indiana State is just two strokes back from the leader Katterhenry as Tibbets from Butler has some work to do sitting five strokes back from the lead. The rest of the competition is very tight knit as three women are tied for fifth with scores of 79 and two tied
for eighth with scores of 80. Valparaiso had the most players in the top 20 with four although they still sit in sixth place in the team standings. Katie Willenbrink had the highest score for Valparaiso with an 81. She is tied for 10th place. Evansville, Northern Kentucky and Loyola each have three players in the top 20 after Monday. Two of Northern Kentucky’s golfers are in the top 10 as Allison Leigeb is tied for fifth and Sarah Kellam is tied for eighth. Elayna Bowser is the top performer for Loyola as she is one of seven
tied for tenth after day one. Eastern was the only team to not have a player finish the day in the top 20. The leading scorer on the day for them was Alex Pickens who shot an 83 and is tied for 25th. Other golfers competing for Eastern today were Annie Bahr who is tied for 38th, Madison Burget who is tied for 50th, Hannah Magda tied for 56th and Chloe Wong tied for 60th. Day two of the event begins with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Tuesday and the women will golf another round of 18 holes.

Panthers’ defense to swarm opponents By Blake Nash Staff Reporter | @Banash5 The Eastern defense has allowed a total of 42 points in the last two games, which includes wins over Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech. As of this week it is the No. 1 passing defense in the Ohio Valley Conference. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack brought a new defensive system from Mississippi two years ago, which he calls “The Swarm.” People familiar with Ole Miss football would recognize it as the “Landshark” defense, but Wommack is not ready to make that claim yet. “Swarm defense is what we believe in and call ourselves,” Wommack said. “You can call yourself the ‘Landsharks’ or the ‘swarm defense,’ or whatever you want to, but you’ve got to get young men to buy in to whatever it is that you’re selling.” Wommack believes the Panthers are buying into the system, especially after the forcing seven turnovers in last week’s 51-20 win over Tennessee Tech. Coach Kim Dameron said he was a little frustrated because the Panthers only scored 10 points off three turnovers in the first quarter, but was pleased with their effort in the second half. Dameron said that the defensive secondary, including the linebackers, have disciplined eyes and do not bite on play action fakes very often. Also there is very rarely a play when a single player is executing it. Good pressure by the defensive line resulted in four interceptions, including one by red-shirt senior safety Jourdan Wickliffe, who has two picks in the last two weeks. “When everybody’s on the same page and doing what they’re supposed to do, it makes it so much easier,” Wickliffe said. “The line’s getting pressure, corners like Antoine Johnson and Dylan Chatman are

playing great defenses on the edges and it makes the safeties’ job easier.” Wickliffe said that the talent of the Panthers’ defense fits perfectly with the coaching, and when you combine talent with great coaching the sky is the limit. However, Wommack believes that the recent victories have been because of execution rather than scheme. “It gives people freedom to put speed on the field, but at the same time there are also disciplinary things we have to get better at,” Wommack said. “We’re starting to see the fruit of that labor.”
Eastern’s passing defense has forced opponents to average of just 147 yards, and leads all teams with eight interceptions. “There’s very rarely a play where it’s just one guy,” Dameron said. “I can’t say enough good things about our defense.” The defensive line has also played a role in the “swarm” defense. Because of defensive tackles like redshirt senior Dino Fanti and red-shirt junior transfer Jarvis Williams, as well as senior defensive end Thomas Coronado, two Panthers are ranked in the OVC’s Top Five in tackles for loss.
Senior linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill is second with eight tackles, while Fanti has five and a half. Fanti also ranks fourth in the conference. “Coach always has us prepared, both physically and mentally,” Williams said. “If we focus on ourselves, we can go play our hearts out.” The Panthers’ defense will be tested in the next two weeks, as they host two of the OVC’s best offenses. Saturday at Murray State Eastern will be playing against the No. 1 passing offense in the conference. The Racers have 372.8 yards per game. A week later the No. 1 team in the
nation, Jacksonville State comes to Charleston, in a matchup that could feature two unbeaten OVC teams. The Gamecocks have the No. 1 total offense in the league, averaging 544.2 yards per game. Williams said it does not matter who they play at O’Brien Field because they will always be ready. “Whether it’s No. 1 or No. 2, when you come into this house we’re going to be ready to play,” Williams said. “Trust me.” Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu
Women’s soccer team loses despite winning effort By Elias Albert Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern is now 3-13-2 on the season, and 1-7-1 in OVC play, following losses to Austin Peay and Murray State over the weekend. Coach Jason Cherry said his team played well but let the game get away from them as the game progressed. “The score didn’t show it,” Cherry said. “But when we stuck to our game plan, we were definitely better.” In the game against Austin Peay, Cherry said the opening-goal scorer for Austin Peay was offside, but was not caught by the officials at the time. Cherry said this is when his team changed form and tried a press-defense strategy. “Once we did that, we began to lose control of the game,” Cherry said. “I’m proud of my team for their effort though.” Cherry said he also thought senior forward Molly Hawkins was tripped in the keeper’s box on a scoring chance. The officials gave Eastern a set piece for the Austin Peay infraction, but the ball was placed just outside the goal box instead of being placed within the box for a penalty kick.
JASON HOWELL | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Freshman defender Kayla Stolfa hops up on the back of Morehead State’s Tonia Parisi during the Panthers’ 1-0 loss to Morehead State on Oct. 11 at Lakeside Field.
“I was fouled inside the box,” Hawkins said. “It should have been
a penalty kick but the ref didn’t call it. It could’ve been a whole new
game had that call gone the way it should have.” Eastern would go on to lose to Austin Peay by a final score of 3-0. In the game against Murray State, Cherry said his team faced early adversity, but managed to keep themselves active in the game throughout. Cherry also decided to make a change at the goalkeeper spot as he went with freshman Liz Carmody in relief of freshman, and seasonstarter, Maddie Lyon in the 55th minute. “I wanted to give Liz (Carmody) a chance to get some time on the field,” Cherry said. “She’s worked hard all year and she’s earned a chance to show what she’s got.” Cherry said the goalkeeper change was just a chance to give a young player some experience and give Lyon, who’s been the team’s most frequent goalkeeper, a chance to rest and recover. Eastern went on to lose 4-0 in what was their last road game of the regular season. Cherry said despite the two losses, he is still proud of his team’s effort and wants to see more of the same in that category. “All of my players want to win and they showed that this weekend,” Cherry said. “The scoreboard
doesn’t necessarily reflect that, but their effort is exactly what I’m looking for.” Cherry pointed out a number of underclassmen players for their effort and execution over the weekend. He said players like sophomore midfielder Ali Carlson, sophomore midfielder Kaci Schonert, freshman defender Kayla Stolfa, freshman midfielder Kate Olson and sophomore forward Madi Fisher for their effort and execution. “They’ve been stepping up defensively and doing all they can to help the team,” Cherry said. “They’re a pleasure to have on the roster.” Hawkins said she was happy with the energy that her team exerted. “I thought we played really hard,” Hawkins said. “We ended up with some unfortunate outcomes even though we kept the intensity high the entire game. It was nice to see everyone work.” Eastern will see the field for the last time in the regular season as they host Southern Illinois- Edwardsville at 3 p.m. Thursday at Lakeside Field.
