Eastern has had two confirmed cases of the mumps virus with others being evaluated as of Monday. As of Sunday, there have been 177 reported cases of mumps with 128 of them associated with the outbreak at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Sheila Baker, the medical director for Health Service at Eastern, said in an email that the two cases were diagnosed between Sept. 8 and Sept. 11. Baker said the virus is self-limited, which means it goes away on its own. “We develop symptoms; sometimes we get worse for a while, but then it goes away all by itself,” Baker said. Baker said the best way to avoid getting the virus is to get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination. “We believe that 90 percent of people who get the recommended vaccinations are immune to the mumps virus. Baker said it is a state requirement for any student attending a state university to show proof of the two vaccinations. “If you don’t show us proof of two MMR vaccinations by the end of your first semester here, we will place a hold on your account,” Baker said. Baker said this is not the first time there has been reported cases of mumps on Eastern’s campus. “It’s the first time that we’ve seen a situation that we felt needed public attention,” Baker said. In her email, Baker said the mumps illness usually lasts 10 days and students with the illness have to self-isolate themselves for the first five days while they are contagious. Baker said the symptoms start off non-specific for the first two days such as a low-grade fever and fatigue. “Usually within a couple of days we get swelling of one or both of our parotid, or salivary glands, typically in front of our ears,” Baker said. Baker said the process of diagnosing starts with talking about medical history, a physical exam to look for evidence of mumps, and a swab of the inside of the cheek to test for the genetic make-up of the virus.

Fall 2015 enrollment numbers have decreased for Eastern as well as Western Illinois University and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. Numbers have increased for The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and Illinois State University.
Enrollment varies across state
By Roberto Hodge News Editor | @DEN_News Some four-year public universities have steadily declined statewide in student enrollment. Enrollment for Eastern, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Western Illinois University and Northern Illinois University has declined; however, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Illinois State University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have increased. Eastern has the lowest student enrollment in the state at 8,520, which is a decrease of nearly 400 students from the previous fall semester. The University of Illinois is the largest with more than 40,000 students currently enrolled. Chris Dearth, the director of admissions at Eastern, said enrollment is down overall in many of the public state universities because of an increased competition both in and out of state. Dearth said Eastern has traditionally been one of the smallest schools of the bunch, which has often been its charm. He said one of the hallmarks of the institution is the ability of the campus to be more per-
“Eastern attracts over 50 percent of our undergraduate students north of Interstate 80; well, what’s between those students and Eastern? ” -Chris Dearth, director of admissions
sonal and intimate. “We are truly student-centered,” Dearth said. Eastern’s enrollment has typically always been around the 10,000 range, Dearth said. Dearth said Eastern and Western are usually the two smallest campuses, which can be traced to their geographical location. Western’s enrollment for the current semester is 11,094, which is 364 less than the previous fall semester.
Blair Lord, the vice president for academic affairs at Eastern, said Western and Eastern are the two universities with the most similarities not only in geographical location but also in enrollment trends, which is reflected in their decreases. However, Illinois State is the university’s biggest competitor; it had an enrollment of 20,788, which is a 173 increase from the previous year. “As an institution with sort of a second position within the state, (Illinois State has) the ability to continue to attract students while the Eastern, the Western, the Northern’s are having more trouble,” Lord said. Because students usually gravitate toward schools in larger metropolitan areas, schools in the rural parts of the state are smaller than those surrounded by bigger cities. What has been found is students are also attending universities closer to home that will allow them to commute because not every family can afford to house a student on a campus far away from home, Dearth said. Lord, who agreed with Dearth, said Illinois State is a centrally located campus with it being inside the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area, which is attracting more students.

Glassman to address Faculty Senate meeting By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor|@cjbuchman The Faculty Senate will vote on items from its previous meeting and hear President David Glassman speak at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Booth Library conference room. Jemmie Robertson, the Faculty Senate chair, said members are voting on the previous meeting’s items because they did not have a quorum
last time. These items included are a letter from the coalition on intercollegiate athletics, a draft resolution for House Resolution 275, an email from Marita Gronnvoll concerning the need for a replacement for the Council on Academic Affairs, and an email from Andrew McNitt concerning Commitment to Excellence scholarships. Glassman will also answer various questions
from the Faculty Senate. “(President Glassman) will set his own agenda for what he would like to discuss with the Senate,” Robertson said. “However, I did update the president on a few ‘items of concern’ amongst the faculty that I thought it would be helpful if he spoke about.” John Henderson, the assistant vice president for academic affairs for technology, will also speak during the meeting.
“John Henderson will speak about CATS restructuring at 3 p.m.,” Robertson said. “There is growing concern amongst the faculty about recent layoffs in ISS and CATS and hopefully senators will have the chance to discuss those issues.” Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

Annual Booth Library book sale to return By Erika Panatera Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Booth Library will be hosting its annual Fall Book Sale at 9 a.m. Wednesday near the Alumni Clock tower. For about 32 years, Booth Library has hosted these book sales. The first was held in the spring of 1983, and this upcoming spring will mark the 33rd anniversary of the library book sale.

tions director for Booth Library, said students, faculty, staff and Charleston residents donated the books; they are also organized and displayed by subject. The donated books are first looked at to see if they fit into the library’s collection, and if they do not they are sold at the book sale. The library tries to sell everything for low prices, she said. “Hardcover books are $2, paperbacks are $1, magazines are 25 cents,” Heldebrandt said. “All other materials
are between a quarter and $1.” She also said the only method of payment would be cash or checks. Heldebrandt said all the money earned during the book sale would go towards the library programs and services offered. “Funds raised at the book sale (are) used to offer services and programs to the library’s patrons,” Heldebrandt said. However, fall is not the only time that Booth will be holding this sale. The library will also be hosting a

Julia Abalos, LASO’s public relations coordinator, said the movie shows a realistic view of the Latin American culture. “It’s a very universal movie and anybody can relate to it and find interest in it,” Abalos said. “It reaches different audiences because of its cast so people who do not know much about the Latino culture can learn more about the community.” Abalos said she wants people to know what it is like to be in the Latin American community. She said “McFarland USA” lets students in by telling them the struggles of the Latin community, and how those problems can be solved. “People in the movie have to go

“It reaches different audiences because of its cast so people who do not know much about the Latino culture can learn more about the community. ” - Julia Abalos, LASO's public relations coordinator Abalos said playing a film showcasing resolutions in the Latin American community instead of problems in the community may help people understand any misconceptions about Latin Americans.
“They will see our culture shine through and for us to have that exposure means a lot to me,” Abalos said. Abalos said movies are universal and can be shared by people with different backgrounds. She said it brings a sense of diversity and not by ethnicities. “It’s seeing a group of people who are in a different socioeconomic status and it’ll bring different kinds of diversity other the simple race and ethnicities,” Abalos said. Valentin said it is a remarkable thing to see an honest depiction on the Latino American community. “This film makes me feel like people from Hollywood are wanting to get to know more about the Latino culture and wanting to present it to all over the world,” Valentin said. “Also to see how others help Latinos and not give up on them.” T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutler@eiu.edu.

Orchid Ensemble plays first show of tour at Eastern By Liz Gomez Staff Reporter| @DEN_News The Orchid Ensemble kicked off its two-week tour in America at Eastern Monday night. The ensemble was originally schedule to perform on Sunday evening; however, because of issues with immigration, the group had to delay their travels from Canada. The group started off the performance with a Chinese folk song, “Meeting in the Yurt,” the group arranged themselves and even incorporated their own improvisations throughout the song. The song started out as all of the instruments playing together and eventually transitioned into solos by each performer. As the song came to a close, the group came back together as a whole and ended on a good note. Lois Dickenson, who saw the performance, said “Meeting in the Yurt” was her favorite of the band’s performance. Dickenson said she liked “Meeting in the Yurt” because it appealed to her the most and with her love for world music, she liked all of the different sounds of the instruments. The Eastern and Charleston community have been waiting for the Orchid Ensemble to make an appearance for about three years. Between each piece the ensemble informed the audience about the history of each song and how they tie in multiple cultures in their arrangements. Larry Stephens, a regular audience member at Doudna, said the Orchid Ensemble was a great sounding group and he thought this was a great opportunity to hear something different at Doudna.
MOLLY DOTSON | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Lan Tung, erhu and vocalist of the Orchid Ensemble, plays the Mongolian folk song “Meeting in the Yurt” on Monday in the Recital Hall of the Dounda Fine Arts Center.
Another popular piece of the night was “Xiao He Tang Shui,” a Cultural southeastern Asian song that is about a woman singing to search for her true love. As beautiful and longing as it sounded, it ended with the woman asking if her true love can actually hear her. Toward the middle of the perfor-
mance, “The Gallop” was introduced as a fun cartoonish song that was described by Jonathan Bernard, the percussionist of the group, as “a between scenes” song. The band said the song was played in a Chinese and a movie. The Orchid Ensemble closed the night with “Ya Ribon,” a sacred melody that they arranged as a group.
This Orchid Ensemble said they perform “Ya Ribon” at the end of every performance and that it has become a tradition of theirs. The audience was very pleased with the performance and intrigued by the multiple cultural sounds that the ensemble performed even giving a standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance.
At the end of the performance the group announced they are planning to perform at the Food Court in the Union Tuesday afternoon for the Eastern community, as well as having a workshop with a Q and A session. Liz Gomez can be reached at 581-2812 or ecgomez@eiu.edu
Mediafest to showcase all forms of student media By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor|@cjbuchman Students will get to learn about how to get involved in student media and internships at Mediafest at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in Buzzard Hall on the second floor atrium. Liz Viall, a journalism professor, said Mediafest is chance for the students at Eastern to get to know about the student run media on campus, as well as other things. Displays will be up for the Agency, which is the student run public relations firm, WEIU-TV, Hit-Mix, The Daily Eastern News, and the Warbler. Viall said she believes the Vehicle, Eastern’s literary magazine, will be
there as well. “Mostly Mediafest is there to show students the different things they can do,” Viall said. “If they’re interested in photography, they could work for the Warbler or the DEN.” There is an internship panel at 4 p.m. where students from different kinds of media would talk about what kind of internships they have, and how they got them. One of these students is Danielle Tadlock, a senior journalism major, who interned at Chicago Agent Magazine as a design intern. Tadlock said she will be talking about her experiences as an intern and how much she learned. “I’ll talk about moving up to Chicago,” she said. “I had never been
“We decided to do Meidiafest to make sure people knew about all the different publications.” - Liz Viall, journalism professor there before.” Other internships students will be talking about are Univision Communications, one of the largest media companies serving the Hispanic pop-
ulation, and WXRT, a popular Chicago radio station that has been active since the 1970s. Tadlock said the Society of Collegiate Journalists, which she is president of, would have a booth as well. “We started doing it because the department kind of changed the way they welcome new students,” Viall said. The department used to have a meeting at the beginning of the fall semester where the faculty would talk and have tables outside of The Daily Eastern News. “We decided to do Mediafest to make sure people knew about all the different publications,” Viall said. “We did have quite a few people come
and especially the internship panel was well attended.” The freshman and transfer students will meet right before Mediafest and the professors are going to tell them about the Journalism Department. “I think we’re kind of targeting our audience a little bit better,” Viall said. Mediafest is open for all majors, not just journalism. “I have invited communication studies students, but we’re also interested in marketing and advertising students coming,” Viall said. “Anyone who wants to come can.” Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

Down in the Mumps
Analicia Haynes
Follow before you lead It is always been said that to become a leader one must first learn to be a follower. I could not agree more with that notion because it is the same concept that applies to infants when learning to walk. It is a methodology, a process that everyone undergoes before being able to reach the ultimate goal in this instance that ultimate goal would be walking and eventually running. Therefore, those who wish to be a leader in their field of work or their school must first learn how to follow. Being a follower is not a bad idea either. That process really is intended to gain experience points. How can you lead a party of people into battle and not know what you are fighting for? Granted, that has been the question for more than 11 years in America, but I digress. When you are a follower you learn who to follow and what ideals you want to defend. However, what if you learn to follow the wrong crowd? Thus the negative connotation of a follower is formed. The idea that being a follower insists that the individual doing the following is a secondclass citizen who cannot speak up for himself derives from the choices and actions that individual makes. Bullying, for instance, is an evident display of the bad choices a person who follows makes. The cronies that follow the bully like lost ducklings and instigate an attack on another do so because they do not want to be left out in the dust. Ladies and gentleman, high school is over. There is no need to try and “fit in� with the cool crowd because the idea of the cool crowd is a fallacy. That defeats the true purpose of following. When one follows, he or she picks up bits and pieces of information that are essential in aiding the development of their own ideals, values and beliefs. To be a follower is to learn how to be a better leader and to create your own voice. Follow with an open mind but do not follow blindly in order to better ones self. Therefore, some day the follower will be able to exercise free speech and express the values and beliefs they thoroughly constructed through their experience. A follower must be willing to interpret different ideals and empathize with whom they are following without holding that leader as the golden rule. The majority is not always right. History is a key example in deciding who to follow and what to follow. When you follow blindly and neglect to cultivate your own opinion and voice based on what you learned congratulations you have just managed to transport yourself to 1936 Nazi Germany. If you are going to follow someone make sure it is the right person who will not leave you in a desert to dry up and dissipate until you become one with the sand. Instead, follow the individual who exhibits leadership traits such as integrity, courage, and unselfishness, which are just a few that, I firmly believe, are crucial for any leader to possess. Before you can lead a club or a revolution follow those who will help you become a better leader. Analicia Haynes is a freshman journalism major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or achaynes@eiu.edu.

Celebrate Latin culture and diversity Tuesday marks the start of Latin American Heritage Month, consisting of a full month of events being put together by both the Latin American Student Organization and the University Board. Minority students only make up about a quarter of the total student population with 2,209 students. Of those 2,209 students, only 471 of those students are Hispanic, which translates to about 5 percent of the total student population. The Latin American population is not one that seems to be represented well in terms of looking at the student population. But is fantastic that LASO and the UB have teamed up for the month-long celebration starting Tuesday, and the celebration will run until Oct.15. With a month-long event, students will be able to learn about different cultures through the events being planned.
In an article published in Friday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News, one event that will be included in the festivities are free dance lessons in the Student Recreation Center. The lessons are open to any student with an interest in learning different types of dancing styles. It is just one of the many things happening on campus over the next month. It is great to see that students that make up a small portion of campus are able to show other students something they may not be familiar with or know at all. Learning about a different culture can teach a student to empathize with other individuals and students of different cultural backgrounds. It will also combat stereotyping and racism as students learn different cultures. Latin American Heritage Month is great opportunity for all students on campus to take part in.
It is not only for students of Latin American or Hispanic descent. It the opportunity for everyone on campus to celebrate a heritage that may different from his or hers. While the Latin American and Hispanic only makes up a small portion of the student population, an article in The News published Monday said that President David Glassman attended a LASO meeting. The article also said that Glassman is pushing for more diversity and supports the idea. Students should be taking advantage of this great month long opportunity to take part in Latin American Heritage Month by learning about diversity, learning something new and different.
The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Consider both sides of gun control debate Violence at the hand of a gunman has been on the rise in the news lately. Professor Shannon Lamb from Delta State University in Mississippi shot professor Ethan Schmidt, who also teaches at the school, on Monday. Reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward of WDBJ-TV in Virginia were shot and killed on live TV on Aug. 26. Shootings spread out in Chicago left eight people dead while 46 others were wounded from shots over Labor Day weekend. Even earlier in the year there were nine dead and 53 wounded throughout Chicago over Fourth of July weekend. One of the nine included a 7-year-old boy who was shot while watching fireworks with his father. Near our own campus there was a shooting on Sept. 15 in 2013 at a Phi Beta Sigma party that luckily ended in no deaths or injuries. With the media bringing attention to the staggering stories about gun control, arguments have consequently been on the rise as well. Communities are trying to place blame on someone, but where should the blame lie? Gun control has been an issue for many years now. On one side, we have those who believe guns should be made illegal, while on the other hand we have those who believe making guns illegal will not alter the crime rates that involve gunmen but rather take away the protection granted to those who want it. The argument has made headlines as well as
Cheyenne Fitzgerald making a pretty huge controversy on social media. Major points are made such as illegal drugs being mass distributed and used without much help to decrease the usage coming from the idea that they are illegal. There is also the terrifying thought of being told a person cannot legally have guns to protect themselves anymore from those who illegally obtain them. Consider a future where legally owning a gun is socially acceptable across the board. The legality of the gun would not have saved reporter Alison Parker because she would not have had a gun on her during a live news report. Also, the gun that was used during the attack was purchased legally. In this instance, making the gun illegal would not have changed the outcome of the scenario. Now change your perspective around and
consider a future where guns are illegal. Does it change the outcome of the holiday weekends gone wrong in Chicago that were mentioned earlier? I found a statistic in an article in The Trace written by Adam Sege reporting that in the first six months of 2015, officers in Chicago recovered 3,470 illegal guns, or one gun every hour and 15 minutes. With that many guns being recovered the number of illegal guns actually in Chicago will be higher. Though these guns were obtained illegally, they were still being distributed and used, therefore making guns illegal does not seem like it will eliminate the increase in gunmen orientated crimes. In fact, if we make guns illegal we simply will be taking guns out of the hands of the innocent who are trying to protect themselves. In looking at both possible futures neither will provide for a concrete solution nor will either future appease both sides of the controversy so where do we go as a country from here? For now the police departments have increased their street activity. The solution is out there, but if you are anything like me, you will not be the one to find it since you are sitting on the fence.

MUMPS,
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “If we diagnose someone with mumps, we will ask them to selfisolate for five days after their symptoms have started,” Baker said. She also said Health Service would notify the student if they need to fill out registration forms because of the vaccinations. Baker said if the registration needs to be notified, Health Service would say the student is out for medical reasons and will give a date when they should not be contagious. Baker said that any students who have any of the symptoms are encouraged to call ahead and go to the Health Service center to be properly diagnosed. The Center for Disease Control released a report that showed that between the years of 2006 and 2014, about 71 percent of the Illinois mumps cases occurred in zip codes containing or neighboring a college or university. This means people at Eastern are especially at risk because of the college environment. The CDC reported the two doses of the MMR vaccination is 88 percent effective in protecting against mumps. One dose is 78 percent effective. The CDC said the largest outb re a k s o c c u r re d i n 2 0 0 9 a n d 2010. JOSH SAX TON | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Traditional dances to celebrate Latin heritage By Cheyenne Fitzgerald Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Eastern students can dance their way into Latin American Heritage Month by attending a three-part series of Latin dance lessons. The sessions will start at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Recreation Center. Latin American Heritage Month is usually observed from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. Eastern has been celebrating the month since 1991.
In previous lessons, the Salsa, Tango and Merengue dances were taught to students and staff. This year, many of the same dances will be taught but with the addition of Bachata. Gladys Valentin, president of the Latin American Student Organization, said although LASO is not sponsoring the event, she believes it is a great opportunity to get students involved in the Latin culture. Valentin also compared the dance lessons to Zumba, a commonly known workout that incorporates dance moves.
Krishna Thomas, director of faculty development, said she would be assisting her husband, Antoine Thomas, who will be teaching the dance lessons. Together they own and run the DanceLife Center in Charleston. The Thomas couple has been involved in the Latin American Heritage Month events at Eastern since 2012 when they were first asked to teach a few Salsa lessons. Krishna Thomas said they are big believers in movement, and dance is just a way of life for them.
They are looking forward to sharing their knowledge with the participants during these sessions, Krishna Thomas said. Krishna Thomas said the dance lessons will involve some partner work and are available to those who are either young or just young at heart and looking to have a good time. Last year’s participants consisted of Eastern students, faculty and even a high school Spanish class. The difficulty level will be minimal, and there are no dress or prior knowledge requirements
“Dancing is such a universal language; it’s a great way to just blow of some steam. Come as you are and expect to have some fun,” Krishna Thomas said. Krishna Thomas said of the three dances, Bachata may be the one to challenge some people because of its fast pace, hip usage and sensual style; however, the basics for all three dances will be easy to catch on to.

Jacksonville State falls short at Auburn By Blake Nash Staff Reporter|@Banash5 An upset in college football was not to be on Saturday, as the No. 6 ranked Auburn Tigers defeated in-state foe and Football Championship Subdivision member Jacksonville State 27-20 in overtime. The Gamecocks, ranked No. 5 in the FCS, came in as five-touchdown underdogs, but took the lead twice on Saturday, including a 10-6 lead at halftime. The Gamecocks also grabbed a lead in the fourth quarter when senior running back Troymaine Pope scored a touchdown from five yards out. That would be the final score for the Gamecocks, as Auburn would tie the game on a 51-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Jeremy Johnson to senior wide receiver Melvin Ray. Auburn scored on the first possession of overtime, on a four-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Peyton Barber, and held the Gamecocks out of the end zone to win the game. The Tigers came into the game ranked No. 6 in the Football Bowl Subdivision Coaches Poll. Despite the outcome of the game, they dropped in Monday’s rankings to No. 15. It was a different story in Jacksonville this afternoon, as the Gamecocks found them ranked No. 1 in the FCS STATS poll. This is the first time in school history the Gamecocks have been ranked No. 1 in any poll. Coach John Grass told the STATS Inc. editor that polls do not mean much. He pointed out that being ranked No. 3 heading into the playoffs last year didn’t turn out to be a good deal for the Gamecocks. “We got beat in the second round (by Sam Houston State),” Grass said. “We’re proud to be ranked, but I know if we’re thinking about being No. 1, we’ll get beat.” Junior quarterback Eli Jenkins led the Gamecocks offense by completing 26-of-43 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 37 yards on 18 carries. Pope led the Gamecocks ground attack with 85 yards on 21 carries. The Gamecocks defense also forced three turnovers, including a fumble recovery by freshman defensive lineman Randy Robinson as the Tigers were looking to tie the game with almost three minutes left. The Gamecocks would punt on the ensuing drive, and Auburn scored on Ray’s

touchdown to send it into overtime. Late field goal gives SEMO win over SIU The second time was the charm for Southeast Missouri junior kicker Ryan McCrum in a 27-24 victory over Southern Illinois University Carbondale on Saturday. The junior had missed his last three field goals, before making a 42-yard field goal with five seconds left to lift the Redhawks to victory over the Salukis. McCrum had already missed on a 42-yarder early in the game, and also missed from 38 and 39 yards out. He did, however, make a 39-yard field goal to spark a 10 point Redhawks lead early in the first quarter. “It definitely wasn’t my best night,” McCrum told reporters after the
“We’re proud to be ranked, but I know if we’re thinking about being No. 1, we’ll get beat.” -John Gass, Gamecock Coach game. “I believe God had a plan for me and he wanted me to make that last kick. I just had to move on and block out what had previously happened.” McCrum is 3-for-6 kicking in this season, which includes a 35-yard field goal at Missouri a week ago.
Streak ends for the Panthers History was made in Evanston, Ill. on Saturday afternoon. Northwestern defeated Eastern 41-0, ending the Panthers streak of 139 straight games without being shutout. Eastern was last shut on October 11, 2003 by
Eastern Kentucky 41-0. Redshirt junior running back Devin Church paced the Panthers with 183 all-purpose yards, including 120 yards on kick returns. Church also had 63 yards on 11 carries to lead the Eastern rushing attack. The Eastern defense allowed 496 yards, but did stop the Wildcats 10of-17 times on third down conversions. The Wildcats were also 0-for-2 on fourth downs in the contest. Sophomore safety Bradley Dewberry led the Eastern defense in tackles with 12. Junior linebacker Seth McDonald followed with 10 tackles, for his second straight week with 10 or more tackles. He had 17 a week earlier at Western Illinois.
