EASTERN’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS First-time freshman enrollment is up 2 percent; graduate student enrollment is up 3.5 percent, and honors student enrollment is up 5 percent from last year. U.S. News & World Report ranked Eastern the No.1 public regional comprehensive Illinois university and No. 5 among the 12 state Midwest regional public master’s universities. Eastern was cited among the Best Online Colleges in Illinois for 2015-16 by onlinecolleges.net and recognized in Princeton Review’s Guide to 322 Green Colleges for the third year. Eastern’s University Advancement Office had $11.1 million in gifts received and pledged for FY 15 and passed its goal of achieving 100 new student scholarships. During the past school year 7,400 students participated in a total of 159,000 community service hours. Booth Library was awarded the 2014 Illinois Library Association Demco Library Innovative Award for its programming success.

President David Glassman addresses students, faculity, staff and community members about the budget, enrollment and the community during the State of the University Address Monday in the Dvorak Concert Hall of the Dounda Fine Arts Center.
Information from President David Glassman’s State of the University Address given Monday.
Glassman talks marketing plans, athletics By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor|@cjbuchman Eastern President David Glassman said he expects the university’s enrollment to grow and stabilize by 2017 during his State of the University Address on Monday. Glassman also said athletics would report to the Office of the President as opposed to Student Affairs. Glassman said the transition would provide a chance for them to take a long-needed breath. Intercollegiate athletics received $1.6 million
generated from the university’s appropriated and tuition revenue of about $90 million. “This is down from $1.9 million a few years ago,” Glassman said. Glassman said he cut the athletic appropriated and tuition funding an additional $320,000, which brought it down to a total of $1.28 million. The student athletic fee was increased by $4.36 per-credit hour to assist intercollegiate athletics in meeting its expenses. This action was challenging because of the decline in student enrollments, which resulted in
the school getting less fee revenue. Without an increase in athletic fees or appropriated funding, intercollegiate athletics ran annual deficits from about $300,000 to slightly less than $1 million. “These deficits were covered, as were other deficit spending by the university reserves,” Glassman said. Even though they had a reduction in their appropriated funding, Intercollegiate Athletics has had to maintain a balanced budget with the new student fee rate. Director of athletics Tom Michael said he did
not know if the transition would change what everyone sees on the outside about athletics. “What we’re trying to do is make athletics to fit the university better and certainly reporting to President Glassman is something that I’m excited about,” he said. Jonathan Blitz, president of the University Professionals of Illinois, said a part of the address that surprised him was the transition of athletic reports from the Office of Student Affairs to the president.

Senate to discuss CATS UB tickets selling slowly By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor|@cjbuchman Changes to the Center for Academic Technology Support media center will be a topic for the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday. The meeting will be at 2 p.m. in 4440 Booth Library. Jemmie Robertson, the Faculty Senate chair, spoke at the Board of Trustees meeting Sept. 18, which will also be of topic Tuesday. Robertson asked the board about student fee increases that he and other faculty senate members had noticed. “If we can rescind an instructor’s contract, can we not rescind a fee increase?” he asked. Pete Grant, the director of digital and multimedia services for the CATS, sent an email call-
ing for the CATS Multimedia to be renamed Research, Education, and Applied Learning Multimedia Center. In the email, Grant gave examples of all the ways CATS helps the university, but he understood that the university had to make some difficult decisions. “But my big concern here is two-fold,” Grant said. “First, I don’t know what the future will look like without the valuable services provided by CATS Multimedia Services and Media Services. Second, and most important, what will happen to the student opportunities that were provided by CATS Multimedia, through collaborative efforts with other areas?”

With Family Weekend and the Three Dog Night concert less than two weeks away, more than 300 tickets have been sold. Family Weekend is Oct. 9-11. Director of student life Ceci Brinker said the amount is normal and ticket sales should pick up closer to the actual event. “(The numbers) are low, but we’re still pretty optimistic that they’ll pick up in the next two weeks,” Brinker said. “Parents are still making plans to come to Family Weekend.” Brinker said the tickets sales are slow, but one of the challenging aspects with promoting the event is notifying parents about the concert. “I think part of the challenge is parents are
used to the Family Weekend mailer that use to go out to them in the mail,” Brinker said. “Due to budget cuts, we cut that out about two years ago so that makes it really challenging for them to get information.” Brinker also said students are the ones who receive all the information pertaining to the Family Weekend events. “The challenge there is this is information that the students are passing on to parents,” Brinker said. “We’re still optimistic that sales will pick up.” Brinker said another reason is parents are still trying to make their plans to come to Eastern, and the costs for lodging and other events during the weekend also need to be considered.

“Without a personal story it is often difficult for us to understand why so many people leave their homes and why some choose not to leave, choosing poverty over family separation.” - Betty Smith Professor of geography The film would solve a lack of understanding in global unemployment by expanding students’ knowledge of working abroad and stirring up questions of a different world outside of their normal social and cultural circle, said Smith. “Today we live in a transnational world,” Smith said. “Many individuals and families are temporarily and sometimes permanently migrating to
live and work in more prosperous locations, often separated by great distance from their homes.” Smith said students who attend the event are going to receive a new perception about foreign workers in the U.S.; she said the documentary is also being shown in hopes of stimulating curiosity in the audiences’ minds about the social and economic issues in international workers’ lives. Smith said she hopes the audience leaves with an understanding of why some people choose to study and live abroad. Smith said when students come to the event they should imagine themselves as a member of the family in the documentary and how to go about the circumstances the documented family went through. “Without a personal story it is often difficult for us to understand why so many people leave their homes and why some choose not to leave, choosing poverty over family separation,” Smith said.

Student finds home away from home By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News Though he lived in Australia all of his life, coming to America was not a culture shock for Nicholas Stuart. A second-year accounting major, Stuart said only three years are required to earn a bachelor’s degree in Australia as opposed to America’s four-year requirement. Stuart is in his second year and is earning credits here through a foreign exchange program. He has received $5,000 in a scholarship in June to study at Eastern. Stuart is from Rockhampt o n , Q u e e n s l a n d a n d C e n t ral Queensland University is his permanent school. Coming from a campus of about 20,000 students, Eastern is still similar to his main university. Stuart said the university is split into four campuses, so he still gets the small campus feel back at home. The only difference between the two countries is the scenery. Stuart said when he thinks of h o m e h e e n v i s i o n s b row n a n d gold. When he steps outside in America he sees a variety of colors. He s a i d o n c a m p u s b a c k a t home, there are a lot of artificial plants outside, which compensates for the hot climate in Australia. He said Eastern is refreshing because he can experience four seasons and what they bring. Stuart said in Australia, in order to be eligible for the scholarship, he had to have a certain GPA and at least eight credit hours. “Particularly now, with fees, it could be hard on students to be financially comfortable and not
worry about how to pay this, or get approved for that,” Stuart said. “If you’re not thinking about your financial situation, you’re going to be more clear headed. He said the scholarship is allowing him to have an extra sense of financial security. Stuart said he can travel and experience the country more now, than if he had the burden of paying on his own for his studies overseas. Along with experiencing the

back at home. “A meal here wouldn’t look too much out of place in Australia,” Stuart said. “If anything what we call the food would be different. Like biscuits, what we call biscuits are cookies, which is far off from what you guys say here.” Stuart said he wished he could say one of the biggest myths about Australia was wrong, but the tale holds some truth. “Everyone kind of thinks that we see kangaroos all the time, and where I live, on my campus, there is a family of about 40 kangaroos living there,” Stuart said.
He said the kangaroos are probably just unique to where he stays in Australia. Back at home, Stuart said it is uncommon for students to live on campus. Many students stay at home because their university is typically close by. He said staying in Thomas Hall is more convenient than his commute back home. While at Eastern, Stuart said he has been experiencing a little homesickness. Stuart said the hardest part was not being able to see some of his
loved ones before he left. He said though it is minimal, he still wants to see his family. “It’s just not being able to be there for someone else if they need it,” Stuart said. “You know, you can talk to someone over Facebook, but that doesn’t substitute for being physically there.” Stuart said even with his thoughts of home, he would not trade this experience at Eastern for anything in the world.

New music recording resources available at Booth By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor| @DEN_News Booth Library is offering a new way for Eastern students to record music, creating more music options this semester. The purpose of these new recording places is to help promote more interest in Booth Library. Stacey Knight-Davis, the head of library technology services, is in charge on these new recording rooms in the fourth floor of Booth. “This was part of a read-in grant project,” Knight-Davis said. “This one was written to encourage peo-
ple to come to Booth Library to use our music collections and also to learn how to play and learn how to make their own music here at the library.” Booth Library had previously offered two digital Yamaha pianos students could use. Now, students will have access to not only the digital pianos, but also two electric guitars and advanced amplifier emulator software used for the guitars. Students can also access more than 64 amplifiers, 77 cabinets and 113 effects. “What we did with the grant is we brought in some Mac-minis that were actually transferred to us from

(the Center for Academic Technology Support) for this project,” KnightDavis said. “The piano is hooked up into the computer and the guitar runs up to (a Behringer guitar link) next to the computer.” For the guitar, students can access different apps to help monitor and control the tempo of the sound as well as maintaining its pitch. “What we’ve got for the guitars is we’ve got a really simple program called Appkit,” Knight-Davis said. “(It) includes many, many different amplifiers, speaker cabinets and effects and you can turn off and on and recombine them in many different ways.”
Other than Appkit, students will also have access to two other programs, Pod Farm two and Guitar Rig, which offer even more effects for students test. All of the equipment in these rooms all connected to a large monitor, where students can see what they record and are able to edit as well. “You can record from the guitar, you can record from the piano, “ Knight-Davis said. “You can lay down tracks from both in Garageband if you want to, there’s all kinds of loops and effect you can use in Garageband.” Students can use the equipment Booth has provided or bring their
own. Anyone who wants to access the room can bring their own equipment if it is compatible with the cables used to record the audio. “We haven’t had too many people in yet,” Knight-Davis said. “We’ve have had at least one person while I’ve been working.” These room are available to all students, and any student who wishes to reserve one of the rooms must do so on a first-come first-served basis.

Tattoos are OK in the workplace Ever since I was 14, I have been fascinated by tattoos. I have often envisioned my adult self as someone who would be almost entirely covered with body art. Tattoos have also seemed to blow up in the media, and this generation is a lot more covered in ink then ones in the past. As I scroll through my news feed on almost every form of social media there is either someone on my friends list getting an additional tattoo, or pages supporting tattoos and even piercings. It is no longer unusual to hear our youth going to get tattoos or making Pinterest boards for ideas of their future ink. The problem with this is a question every 18-year-old will have to face before they enter the tattoo parlor: Will this tattoo prevent me from getting a job? As I have entered establishments where tattoos are prohibited, I have noticed many employees will cover up their body art with band aids or gauze. These cover ups draw even more attention to customers, and they would be better off showing their tattoos then appearing as wounded. Employees also might have to go out of their way to cover up this body art with long sleeves or pants which may be uncomfortable when there are high temperatures. Depending on the occupation, it is understandable to have certain professional dress codes, however, to ban tattoos in the workplace does not make sense to me. If an individual meets and/or exceeds the expectations of a position, and the dress code is met then why does this mark a potential employee as incompetent? I think that telling an individual that they cannot work for you because of how you choose to express yourself makes for an uncomfortable and boring work environment. The decision to hire should be based entirely on qualifications, not the art that may or may not decorate your skin. Those who say that tattoos are unprofessional may also be categorized as someone who stereotypes and discriminates. The statement implies that all people with tattoos are of lower intelligence, are criminal, or simply are not qualified which is too broad and general of an assumption to make. However, with tattoos booming in this generation comes widespread acceptance. With TV shows like L.A. Ink, Ink Masters and Tattoo Nightmares the art has become popular among many. Corporations are starting to change policies in “dress codes.” According to Support Tattoos and Piercings at Work in 2014, 28 major companies and hundreds of small businesses are changing policies regarding piercings and tattoos. Some of these corporations are the Bank of America and Olive Garden. With corporations changing their policies, people will have better opportunity to express themselves without feeling questioned by corporations.

Events help raise sexual assault awareness The gap between the Eastern and Charleston communities is often difficult to bridge and has been a point of contention when it comes to events within the area. In Monday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News, we covered “Take Back the Day,” a walk/ run created to spread sexual assault awareness. Events like “Take Back the Day,” are geared toward both Eastern and Charleston community members. The turnout for this year’s “Take Back the Day” was lower than in previous years, but a wide variety of area residents still participated in the event. Because the threat of sexual assault is not limited to a certain age or demographic, these events are a way in which the community and the university stand together on an issue and fight for change. Sexual assault is a serious threat and major safety issue on college campuses across the country, but it is also an evil that lurks within
residential communities as well. According to a 2014 report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the rate of rape and sexual assault of female nonstudents aged 18-24 was 1.2 percent higher than that of female students the same age. 1 in 5 women are also said to have experienced sexual assault or rape. Women are not the only victims involved in sexual assault cases. The same report also found that the rate of sexual assault of male students was higher than that of male nonstudents. According to an article in the Huffington Post, a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that 1 in 25 men said yes to being a sexual assault victim while in college. This is no a one-sided issue. Sexual assault can affect anyone. Eastern’s campus is not a bubble separated from the real world and the problems that peo-
ple off campus face every day. This is a great example of the support that Eastern students can find within the community and vise versa. On this topic the two can find a common ground and create a system of support. Events like these are opportunities for students to realize that they share grievances with the Charleston community, as well as triumphs. Because Charleston is a small city and the Eastern community makes up a significant portion of the population, it is vital that the two come together on issues such as this. As neighbors and co-habitants of the area, it is up to each resident of Charleston to support one another and keep each other safe. No one should turn a blind eye to sexual assault awareness within Charleston. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Student-athlete life is like sleepwalking A day in the life of a student-athlete would be similar to a day of sleepwalking. During the two years of being a collegiateathlete, I learned quickly that life as a high school athlete from a small town did little to prepare me for what was to come. Personally I believe that student-athletes do not get enough credit for the amount of hours and time that they must stretch themselves out across. Even though I was definitely stretched to my limits at times, being a student-athlete taught me how to manage my time and make certain things priority. During my time as a student-athlete, I always felt as though I had to decide between sleep, grades or a social life. Many times the latter would literally have to take one for the team. Student-athletes wake up before the sun for workouts or practices, rush to early morning classes, head from class to practice or lifting, then must find time to eat and do homework in the meantime. That is only during an off-season. During the season, there also has to be travel time and weekends where you could quite
Cheyenne Fitzgerald possibly be in another state. There are times when the athletes are missing class time so they can travel to their away games that are farther away. Though homework and studying can be done on the long bus rides, what student can focus on a bus with 20 other people who could be doing any number of things? Not only do I have personal experience, I was also able to interview a few current student athletes. It is hard to keep the mindset of being a student-athlete instead of an athlete-student when you are putting in the same amount of
hours into both if not more into being an athlete. For me, it was difficult to put the hours into school because anyone would want to be doing something they love rather than sitting at a desk reading a textbook. Being a student-athlete, it was also rewarding when people recognized the effort and time that was put into both my studies and my team. Clearly being a former a student-athlete puts bias on the matter. However, athletes have to do the same amount of homework, studying, internship hours, clinical hours, etc. as those who are just students. Some days you get worn thin and feel overwhelmed. There is pressure from your teachers and from your coaches to preform your best in both areas. It is nice to feel a little acknowledgment for the hard work put into succeeding in both areas.

The dining halls will be getting in touch with their safari side at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Gail Abrams-Aungst, the associate director of hosing and dining, said Thomas, Taylor, and Stevenson dining halls would have three different meals that students will have to travel to. Thomas dining will be serving soup and salad, Taylor dining will be serving the entrée, and Stevenson dining will be serving the desert portion of the meal. Students will get a wristband at Thomas Hall at the beginning of their trip between the halls so they will not have to swipe their Panther Card at each location. Abrams-Aungst said the special dinner took about a month to plan
and how the menu is going to look and what decorations they need to get for the dinner. “At the time we plan the events, we are thinking about what we can do to make the event come to life,” AbramsAungst said. The multiple dining hall dinner is an event that happens once a year. However, the dining staff has other themed events throughout the year. Sh e s a i d t h e s p e c i a l d i n i n g events help keep the students engaged. “We would also love to hear from our students on what special events they would like to see,” AbramsAungst said.

“I think that was probably a bit of welcome news for many,” Blitz said. Glassman spoke about his vision for the future, including what he called the “Pathway to Success” and how, to achieve it, the university needs to be able to make changes in its operations and become flexible to an adapting environment. “We must urgently explore altering our existing programs when appropriate, as well as developing new programs,” Glassman said. “In order for us to plan our university’s future, we must realistically define our optimal enrollment size given current demographics, market-place competition, and our own interests in financial sustainability.” Glenn Hild, the dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, said he believed Glassman spoke in broad terms but explained Eastern’s situation correctly. “I anticipate that there will contin-
ue to be some reductions in faculty to achieve those goals,” Hild said. Total enrollment for fall 2015 is 8,520, with the current senior class the largest of the four classes. “As our new freshman classes meet or exceed the previous year’s freshman class, we should be able to stabilize our total enrollments and begin to grow them by 2017,” Glassman said. “To do so, it will be essential that we deploy adequate resources to our marketing and admissions efforts.” Bob Martin, the vice president for university advancement, said the news of Eastern planning to spend more on marketing was excellent news for his staff. Eastern spends $700,000 on marketing, which is substantially lower than most of the four-year public institutions within the state, Glassman said. “We’ve got a great story to tell, but we need more people and more revenue to tell it,” Martin said. “Our mar-
keting budget is tiny, but (Eastern does) a good job of using every available dollar to get the word out.” Director of admissions Chris Dearth said he also enjoyed the president’s speech. “I think since he’s come here he’s tried to be extremely transparent about everything,” he said. “We need to get in front of more students earlier in the process and by increasing our marketing resources we’ll be able to do that.” Glassman said Eastern has created its brand in the past by maintaining low student to faculty ratios. “The result has become an immense financial challenge for Eastern to maintain these very low ratios while student enrollment revenue continues to go down, exacerbated by a steady annual decrease in state appropriations,” Glassman said. During this year, Glassman plans to meet with academic and staff lead-

ership to hear what they think are appropriate ratios given the university’s financial position. The budget for the 2016 fiscal year revealed a deficit of $13 million dollars if the state keeps the appropriation of a reduction of 6.5 percent. “In order to balance the budget, funds were annually supplemented from university reserves,” Glassman said. This was not a sustainable business model without major positive changes in revenue and the significant reduction in university reserves left the university in a more precarious state, Glassman said. “There was no alternative, but to immediately develop a plan that would move the university toward a balanced budget,” Glassman said. “The plan called for right-sizing our university.” The reductions through layoffs, furloughs, decreasing operating budgets,
moving salaries and other measures lowered the expenses for fiscal year 2016 by about $10 million. Without knowing the state appropriation for this year and other factors, it cannot be predicted whether additional employee layoffs will be necessary, but Glassman said they would be smaller than previous ones. Jeannie Ludlow, coordinator of women’s studies, said Glassman’s language about “right-sizing” the university was insensitive. “I think ‘right size’ is harsh language when people have lost jobs, because it makes it sound like you weren’t necessary, and that’s not a message that is kind,” she said.

Brinker said the goal for the weekend is to make sure Eastern students and their families are all having a good time over the weekend. Brinker said other than the concert UB is sponsoring three other events as well, including a movie event, a comedian juggler and bingo for families. “We don’t do all of the events for Family Weekend because Family Weekend is kind of big.” Tickets for Three Dog Night can be purchased either through the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union’s website or in person at the ticket office. Tickets for the concert are $25 for the general public. Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.

Panthers start 2-0 at top of conference By Sean Hastings Assistant Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports Senior Stephanie Wallace breaking the all-time digs record for Eastern was a highlight of the weekend, but she said winning is more important and that is exactly what the Panthers did on Friday and Saturday in Lantz Arena. The Panthers have started the season 2-0 as well as Murray State and Belmont. Murray State is picked to repeat as Ohio Valley Conference champions. Murray State straight set Southeast Missouri and University of Tennessee at Martin both on the road. Belmont straight Eastern Kentucky 3-0 and took down Morehead State 3-2. There was no better time for the Panthers to finally start winning again than the start of conference. Coach Sam Wolinski always says that the team’s goal is to get ‘one percent better every hit.’ The Panthers just didn’t win this weekend; they dominated Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State straight setting both schools 3-0. Wallace and Wolinski said dominating Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State and starting 2-0 gives them a lot more confidence heading into Wednesday’s match with Southern Illinois- Edwardsville. SIUE started the year 1-1 by defeating Jacksonville State 3-2 and losing to Tennessee Tech 2-3. The same schools that Eastern dominated.

The Eastern volleyball team practices as Coach Kate Price looks on in Lantz Arena on Sept. 9, 2014.
Another positive thing to take away from the Panthers successful weekend is that they had five players have at least seven kills against Jacksonville State. The same was seen on Friday against Tennessee Tech as the Panthers used seven different players earn a kill. Freshman Taylor Smith said having that many possible targets really
helps the Panthers because the opponents never know where the ball is going to go, and it can be given to anyone at anytime. Sophomore Allie Hueston led the Panthers over the weekend in kills earning 24 combined in the two matches. Although the Panthers have tons of options on kills, Smith and se-
nior Marah Bradbury are the ones usually dishing out the assists. The two combined for 84 out of the 92 total assists over the weekend. But both girls also contributed to the kills in the game. It’s early in the season, but the Panthers have had a really strong start and have a high confidence level heading into conference play.
They also gained a lot of energy being able to grab those two wins at home as they will not return to Lantz Arena until Oct. 16. Eastern will play four matches on the road from Wednesday to Oct. 10. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
Women’s tennis team splits dual matches over weekend By Bob Reynolds Sports Editor| @BobReynoldsDEN The Eastern women’s tennis team split two matches over the weekend at Darling Cour ts in Charleston. T h e Pa n t h e r s e a r n e d a w i n against fellow Ohio Valley Conference opponent Murray State, but fell to Missouri Valley Conference opponent St. Louis.
Eastern opened the morning with a 4-3 win over Murray State, who ended the Panthers season last year in the conference tournament. Junior Kelly Iden started the Panthers off with a win over Megan Blue of Murray State 6-3, 3-6,10. Sophomore Grace Summers defeated Hailey Morgan in straight sets 6-2, 6-4. Senior Ali Foster
continued her hot stretch from last season and defeated Alina Schibol 6-2, 6-2. Freshman Abby Carpenter was able to pick up a win in the six spot for Eastern after she defeated Suzaan Stoltz 6-1. Senior Hannah Kimbrough and freshman Srishti Slaria were both defeated in their matches and were the only two Panthers to lose. Eastern lost the doubles point

Men’s soccer team looks to start new with NIU By Maher Kawash Staff reporter| @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team is hoping to end its three-game losing streak and receive some bragging rights as they take on in-state rival Northern Illinois University at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Lakeside Field. Eastern will go up against the Huskies who hold a 4-2 record this season and are coming off a 2-0 loss against Creighton, which is the No. 1 ranked team in the nation. “NIU is one of our in-state rivals, and rivalry games are always competitive,” sophomore forward Justin Oliver said. “We are going into the game with the mindset that we are going to win it just like we do for every other game.” After starting the season at 2-2, the Panthers have been put to the test against some top tier competition causing them to fall to 2-5 on the season. “I’ve still seen the growth that we need to be successful in the long run,” Eastern coach Kiki Lara said. “We just need to stay concentrated on the building blocks that are going to lead to success for a number of years.” T h e Pa n t h e r s h a ve g o n e u p against some physical teams and have been competitive in most of their games, but still come out with a 2-5 record. “We have had our chances plain

and simple, but we just need to capitalize on them and turn them into goals,” sophomore goalkeeper Mike Novotny said. Northern is known for being a competitive and athletic team, but the Panthers feel that they have prepared well enough to come out with a victory. “We just have to focus on ourselves, and try to execute every role
and responsibility a little better than last game,” Lara said. During this three game losing streak, the Panthers have been searching for improvement, and members of the team still feel confident in what they can do. “We have been working on our own game, on both sides of the ball,” sophomore Dominic Recca said. “We feel like our game is good enough to
win games, it’s just a matter of putting together a full 90 minutes.” The Panthers are hoping to use this game as a turning point in their season as they continue to build on last season where they only won three games all year. “Division one games are hard to win, and we have to accept that and focus on our day-to-day habits that are necessary to put together a suc-
cessful 90 minutes of play,” Lara said. The Panthers will also look to earn their first home victory of the season today as they look to get back on track to a winning record. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
Jenkins, Neal earn co-conference POTW awards By Blake Nash Staff Reporter| @Banash5 Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins and Tennessee-Martin quarterback Jarod Neal both earned Ohio Valley Conference offensive players of the week, after both scored four touchdowns in Saturday’s game between the Gamecocks and the Skyhawks. Jenkins scored three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown, as the Gamecocks survived a fourth quarter comeback to win 48-41. Neal led the Skyhawks rally, throwing three of his four touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The 48-20 lead by the Gamecocks became a seven-point game with 4:26 remaining. However, the No. 1 ranked Gamecocks were able to run out the clock, and leave Martin with their third victory of the season. Both quarterbacks combined for 687 yards of passing offense. Jenkins became the first Gamecock since 2013 to account for four total touchdowns. He also moved into fifth place on the school’s all-time list for total offense. He has 5,638 yards in his career. Neal also had a career day on Sat-
urday. He completed 34-of-49 passes for 433 yards, setting a new career high for completions and passing yards. He is off to a much better start this season, scoring 10 touchdowns through his first three games. He is not far from eclipsing his career best of 14 touchdowns last year. Murray State wide receiver Jeremy Harness was so close to scoring the two-point conversion that would have sent his team to overtime on Saturday against Tennessee Tech. But senior linebacker Tra’Darius Goff forced him out of bounds at the two-yard line, which ended all hopes for the Racers. Goff finished with a game-high 14 tackles, including eight solo, to help give the Golden Eagles a 31-29 victory in their OVC opener. He was named the conference defensive player of the week on Sunday, That crucial two-point conversion would not have taken place, if it were not for Tennessee Tech junior cornerback Malik Hall. Hall blocked an extra point in the third quarter, which forced the Racers to go for two late. He also blocked a 34-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, to keep the score tied at 14.
