Safety concerns raised over recent crimes Mackenzie Freund City Editor | @mgfreund_news
Recent robberies and assaults on campus have sparked a safety concern among students and families. Dan Nadler, the vice president for student affairs, said he has heard concerns from students. “I’ve received some emails and I’ve talked directly to students and tried to reassure them that
we’re working very hard with the Charleston Police Department,” Nadler said. Nadler said they are working closely to find the people who are responsible for the recent crimes and bring them to justice. Eastern was recently ranked the No. 2 safest college town in the country, according to The SafeWise Report. “That speaks volumes in terms of how hard people have worked to get to that point,” Nadler said. “That doesn’t mean we can rest either.”
Woman injured in attempted robbery
Nadler said the ranking does not mean the people who have helped Charleston get the rating can stop, but people need to keep working so the rank can be maintained. Nadler said campus safety is one of the more important issues for a college campus. “This is unusual for us,” Nadler said. “We are not a campus that experiences very much crime, and certainly crime within a short period of time.
Students are being encouraged to call the police departments with any information they may have or if they feel something is not right. “If you feel something suspicious or sense that, go ahead and call it in,” Nadler said. “We would rather have a respond to a false call than to have something bad happen.” Mackenzie Freund can be reached at 581-2812 or at mgfreund@eiu.edu.
Free Flu Shots
Staff Report | @DEN_News A woman was transported to Sarah Bush Health Care Center with non-life threatening injuries after she was struck during an attempted robbery in the 1700th block of 11th Street Tuesday night. In a press release issued by the Charleston Police Department, the victim, whose name has not been released, returned home to find a male in her driveway. The suspect reportedly is a 5-foot-10-inch white male with a slender build and 5 o’clock shadow who was wearing a red shirt and backwards-facing dark hat. The confronting male attempted to rob her of her purse, but was unsuccessful, according to the press release. Anyone with information is asked to contact CPD at 217-345-8404 or message them through their Facebook page. Information can also be left by calling the Coles County Crime Stoppers at 866-345-8488.

Federal Perkins loans end Senate approves bylaws By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman The Federal Perkins Loan program, which was the oldest federal student loan program, ended on Sept. 30. The Perkins Loan was a low interest federal loan for students with exceptional financial need. This academic year, about 250 students received the loan. In 2014-2015 about 350 students did. Amanda Starwalt, the interim senior associate director of financial aid, said her office did not know until the end of September whether or not the Perkins Loan Program was going to end. “There was nothing really we could do; we just had to wait and see what happened,” Starwalt said. Some students are still eligible for the loan as they are part of a grandfather provision that allows schools to make loans to certain students for up to five additional years. Students who had the loan before or during the 2014-2015 year will probably be able to get the loan again next year unless it was their first time having it.
“It still depends on what funding we have, as it depends on what the institution has to award,” Starwalt said. Starwalt said this was the government’s way of slowly getting rid of the program. “Every year we’re going to have more students graduate and every year that are going to be fewer students who are eligible,” Starwalt said. “Eventually as students graduate the program is going to go away altogether.” Students who change their majors need to be careful when dealing with the Perkins Loan. “It depends on how far they change their major,” Stalwart said. Students get a code associated with their major and if the major is identical to the first four digits of the code of the new major, they can still get it. “If you’re in education and you change from math and science, you’re probably okay,” Stalwart said. “If you make a big jump from education to say, kinesiology, you’re probably going to lose it.” PERKINS LOAN, page 6
By Analicia Haynes Staff Reporter | @DEN_News The Student Senate approved two registered student organizations as well three new student justices to the student Supreme Court Wednesday night. The Andrews Hall council and the southern poverty law council were approved as RSOs in Wednesday’s consent agenda. Leah Kolakowski, president for the Andrews Hall council, said the hall council puts on events for students to help keep them active on campus.The hall council plans events for stress relief week to help students get through finals and also hands out study bucks to students in the hall who are caught studying in the open. The study buck acts as a raffle ticket and students have the opportunity to turn in the study buck and enter for a chance to win an Andrews mug. “Being in an RSO really benefits the students. It creates a sense of community especially in the residence halls,” Kolakowski said. The Student Senate also approved the EIU
Chapter of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Rodney Fidel-Ndubisi, president for the EIU Chapter of the Southern Poverty Law Center said the center does a lot for minority groups and civil rights groups. Fidel-Ndubisi said one of the things the chapter will be doing this semester is a movie screening on Nov. 4 at hunting grounds and it will be documentary on sexual assault on campus. “The chapter’s initiative is to promote culture acceptance and justice on campus,” FidelNdubisi said. The Student Senate also approved three student Supreme Court justices. Ashley Renkor, senior psychology major, Jeremy Lynch, junior political science major, and Lucia Castro, Junior Philosophy major were approved as new justices Wednesday. “I wanted to be able to give back to the student body,” Lynch said. Maralea Negron, speaker of the senate, authored the bill introducing the bylaw change to amend the current attendance bylaw.

Students chanted and raised hand-written signs during the S.L.U.T. Walk while marching past the Biological Sciences building on Sept. 23, 2014.
S.L.U.T. walk making way to campus By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor| @DEN_news This year’s Satirically Lessening Unfair Theories walk welcomes people on campus to walk in anything ranging from underwear to a turtleneck and slacks. The S.L.U.T. Walk is at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. EIU FEM is meeting in the South Quad and will be walking around campus. Dana Gilbertsen, the president of EIU FEM, said the S.L.U.T. Walk is a march which started in 2011 in Toronto when a woman had been raped and a police officer told her women should avoid dressing like sluts to not be victimized. Gilbertsen said this year’s S.L.U.T.

“I know the word slut is used rather frequently on campus,” Gilbertsen said. “You see it on social media, you hear it in general conversation. It is everywhere.” Last year’s group walked around campus with signs various signs including one saying “My dress is not a yes,” and “Abolish rape culture.” Emily Stockdale, the vice president of FEM, said many times the word slut is not well defined, but commonly used. “It’s definitely a way to control female sexuality and degrade them for being sexual in any way, when men are expected to do that,” Stockdale said. Stockdale said a lot of people chose to overlook rape as a way to not deal
with the task at hand. “I also think that since there is this stereotype that women who get raped are sluts because they dressed a certain way,” Stockdale said. “That invalidates the victim Stockdale said she wants to educate students on the issue and make sure they know it does happen at Eastern. She said the people who have suffered from those experiences deserve to be heard and need to feel safe. “If we can empower one rape survivor through this walk then I’ll feel like we accomplished something and that we’ve done enough,” Stockdale said.

Lunches will not be provided to so people attending will have to bring their own. “This is our first one we had,” Kathy Hummel a board member for the Five Mile House Foundation said. “This is an event for the Academy of Life Long Learning.” Cheryl Hawker, a retired Eastern professor of mathematics and a Charleston resident, will be talking food preservation like she was doing at the Five Mile House Fall Festival
last Sunday. “I’m going to be talking about the food preservations,” Hawker said. “I’m going to show all the things we hung up to dry and talking about what things you would preserve in that was versus other ways of preserving food for the winter.” The point of putting on the luncheon is to educate more people on the Five Mile House history. “They will be munching while we talk to them about the history of the Five Mile House, “ Hummel said. “My husband will be doing a pre-tri-
al of the first owner of the land.” The Life Long Learning Academy is mainly aimed at people ages 50 and older, but anyone can belong.

Walk is dedicated to relaying the message of no matter what a person is doing they do not deserve to be victimized for it. “The ultimate is to help the people in the march feel empowered and feel as though they have control over their bodies,” Gilbertsen said. “On the other end, my goal is to educate people on campus not involved in the march.” One in four women report surviving rape or attempted rape in college, and Gilbertsen said whatever the case might be, universities do not want to talk about it. Although the word slut may offend many people, EIU FEM is using the term as a way to empower women to be above the derogatory word.

3 Kings, queens to mimic Greek gods, goddesses
THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 2015
By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor |@DEN_news The Diva Drag Show, an event named the second most attended function next to graduation, added something new this year. The kings and queens will be striking fierce poses, Oct 26. in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, and kings will be a new addition this year. K. Saldanas, the vice president of Pride, said two kings are going to be a part of the show this year. Kings are women who dress up in drag as men. This year the theme for the show is Greek Mythology. Saldanas said most of the money donated will be given to Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Services. SACIS is in danger of closing its doors, and Pride wants to put some of the profits toward SACIS. “It not for us. It’s not our funding; its SACIS’ funding,” Saldanas said. “My priority is to gain as much as possible for SACIS, because it is a very important resource on campus.” Jo Stauder, the president of Pride, said the showcase also raises a lot of awareness about Pride as an organization. Stauder said Pride is known for the Diva Drag Show, and seeing the show can heightens students’ interest to join the organization. “It is not necessarily us educating the audience, but it’s for them to learn and

experience what drag is,” Saldanas said. Stauder said within the last few years Pride has encountered some major budget cuts, so personal donations would help to put the greater cause, which is funds for SACIS. “This year it’s my personal goal to incorporate teaching people about the history of drag because drag today is a lot different from how it first started,” Stauder said. Stauder said when drag started in the ‘70s and ‘80s, it was a place where trans women would go and practice passing so they would not experience violence. Passing is being able to look like what they preferred to be identified as. Stauder said over time it developed into a societal parody, which sometimes included gay men dressing and make fun of straight men. “Eventually it lost that kind of heavy social connotation and just became gender performance,” Stauder said. Stauder said the leader of the queens, Ceduxion, and all of the other queens from last year’s show are returning. The Diva Drag Show has been in the making since the start of the summer and Pride reserved the Grand Ballroom around last semester as well. Tickets are $5 for general admission, $8 for VIP seats and $10 for front row seats. T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutler@eiu.edu.

UB to bring comedian during midterms week By Mallory Kutnick Staff Reporter | @DEN_News With midterms coming to an end, the University Board will help students unwind by hosting comedian and actor Byron Bowers at 7 p.m. at Thursday in 7th Street Underground. According to his official website, Bowers is known for his performances on Comedy Central’s “Adam Devine’s House Party,” Adult Swim’s “The Eric André Show,” and BET’s “Comic View.” He first appeared on the late-night scene on TBS’s now-defunct “The Pete Holmes Show” and performed
Wednesday night on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show.” He has toured America with Eric André, Hannibal Buress, whom Eastern hosted in 2009, John Caparulo and Dave Chappell, who Eastern hosted in 2003. He has also made regular appearances to the Comedy and Magic Club, the Comedy Story, the Hollywood Improv and the Nerdist Theater. Bowers reportedly won the Big Sky International Comedy Competition in Montana in 2013, the same year the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival featured him as a New Face and LA
Weekly listed him amongst other comedians as a “Comedy Act to Watch.” In 2014, he performed alongside the likes of Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan and Sarah Silverman. Bowers’s IMDB page cites him as a writer for four episodes of FX’s “Lucas Bros Moving Co” and three episodes of “Upgraded.” The movie database also lists him as having acted in two shorts ,“Venice Love Story” and “Teenage Prostitution: A Public Service Announcement”, one TV show “Why? With Hannibal Buress”, and a movie “Brainiacs in La La Land.” Lucas McGeath, the UB come-
dy coordinator, said he has been busy with preparing for this upcoming show. McGeath also said he has been busy handing out hot chocolate, hanging posters, passing out pluggers and setting up outreach tables, all to promote Thursday night’s show. “If I had to pick any comedian to come to campus, I’d have to say either Nick Swardson, Kevin Hart or Amy Schumer,” McGeath said said. “I’m a big fan of Chris D’elia and Sarah Silverman, too, so that would be a tough decision!” Despite this, McGeath has expressed an eagerness and excitement
for Bowers’s arrival, promising an entertaining and side-splitting evening. “Byron is going to put on a great show,” McGeath said. “Byron has preformed on Comedy Central, BET, adult swim, (recently) performed on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.” After Bowers, McGeath has other dreams for an ideal future. “The last show was really fun,” McGeath said. “We’re hoping for a good turnout.” Byron Bowers will perform at 7 p.m. at 7th Street Underground.

5 Authors read chilling excerpts from novels
THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 2015
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS
By Cheyenne Fitzgerald Staff Reporter | @DEN_News
Author Mary Maddox said she disliked herself on an occasion when she had thoughts like her fictional murderous character Rad Sanders during Bob’s Bookstore’s “scary” novel reading Wednesday afternoon. Maddox recalled a time at the gym where another women was sitting on the machine she wanted, flirting with a man. She said she had gotten so angry that she had similar thoughts as one of her characters. Authors Maddox and Letitia Moffitt made their way to the bookstore to read excerpts from their novels “Talion” and “Trace.” Maddox is a horror and dark fantasy writer while Moffitt writes paranormal mysteries. Both authors are former English professors here at Eastern. In Moffitt’s “Trace,” main character Nola is a tracist, or someone who can sense particles of energy that are released from the body once someone is dead. Nola uses her skill to help the Redford Police Department work on missing persons cases, one of which involved the richest man in town. “In the first book Nola is the main character but other books have subsequent characters at the center,” Moffitt said. After Maddox had done the reading, she said in retrospect she hated having to write the Rad Sanders parts of the novel. Carol Stevens, a Charleston resident, said she read both authors’ works and was looking forward to coming to the reading. “The characters really get you and it’s very well plotted. Nola reveals herself in some very interesting ways,” Stevens said. “Absolutely nothing happens in the way you might expect it to happen.” In Maddox’s “Talion,” a murderous man, Rad Sanders, finds his newest interest in 15-year-old Lisa Duncan who seems vulnerable enough to let him into her world. Maddox read from the novel the capture and assault of Lisa. Many of those listening had already read “Talion” and commented after how suspenseful those pages had been upon reading them for the first time. “I’ve read ‘Talion’ and it’s terrifying,” Stevens said. Moffitt now teaches at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Maddox has now retired from teaching. Maddox’s very own publishing press publishes the authors’ books. Maddox also has published anthologies of memoir pieces by the Past/

Forward Memoir Group, which she said began at Eastern. The press is now working to publish Moffitt’s third book in the “Trace” series. Moffitt said they are hoping to have it out by the end of Januarymiddle of February. Moffitt said she also has an idea stirring for a fourth one. She is unsure how many books the series will end up with. Maddox is also working on her next piece. She said it would be pure suspense about an art curator who is looking for his friend who has recently gone missing. The novel will not have any supernatural, different from her usual writing. Maddox said she also plans to write book number three in the “Talion” series that will follow “Daemon Seers”. The third book will be called “Daemon Blood”. Maddox plans to write one more following that to end the four book series. “If anyone is interested in writing my advice to you is to write and read, a lot,” Maddox said. Autographed copies of Moffitt’s and Maddox’s books are on sale at Bob’s Bookstore.

Stalwart said the government wants to make sure the students who receive the loan are working toward the same degree. “If it takes you longer to graduate, they don’t want to keep giving you the loan for something you’ve changed your mind on,” she said. Stalwart said like much aid, the loan will be first come first served. “The earlier you file, the earlier you turn in all of your verification documents, then the better your chances of receiving certain aid are,” Stalwart said.

Dearth said cost and affordability is the most important factor in college selection, and the loan was one of the factors that helped alleviate financial burdens for prospective students. He said while it was unfortunate that the federal government, who talk about the importance of a college education, chose to let the program end. However, Eastern was focused on taking care of students and their families. “It is business as usual, we have been through this before,” Dearth said. “Things are going to be fine.”

Football team ready to challenge TSU By Blake Nash Staff Reporter| @Banash5 The last time Eastern coach Kim Dameron found himself on NFL turf was during the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Dameron was the safeties coach for Ole Miss, which defeated Oklahoma State 21-7 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex. This Saturday, Dameron and the Panthers will take on Tennessee State at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, which is the home of the Tennessee Titans. It’ll also be the Tigers homecoming game, but they’ll be left without redshirt freshman quarterback O’Shay Ackerman Carter, who was injured in last week’s 28-14 loss to University of Tennessee at Martin. Junior backup quarterback Ronald Butler will start for the Tigers. “For us to win this league, to win the next game, our front seven have to dominate their offense,” Dameron said. “I felt like we did that last week. We’ve got to do it again this week.” Last week the Panthers defense held the Southeast Missouri offense to 334 yards of total offense, including 117 yards rushing. Defensive players and coaches said that they are looking to be more furious in future weeks, but that holding an offense to 117 yards rushing was a big accomplishment for the team.
Junior linebacker Seth McDonald has collected 11 total tackles in the last two weeks, after averaging 13 tackles per game during nonconference play. But the drop in tackles has not served as warning sign for McDonald, especially since the Panthers have won their first two Ohio Valley Conference games. “We’re winning games right now. I could care less about how many tackles I get,” McDonald said. “If someone told me, ‘You’re going to get one tackle and we’re going to win,’ I’d rather have that.” Eastern enters this weekend ranked No. 6 in the Football Championship Subdivision, averaging 8.8 tackles for loss per game. The Panthers are also second in the conference behind Jacksonville State, which averages 9.5 per game. “We’ve been good at times, but we can be better,” Dameron said. “Our front seven has the ability to be very good, and they’re getting better.” Dameron said that he thought the Eastern defensive line was active last week, but the Panthers still need to be able to finish off tackles, and begin to limit rushing yards. Red-shirt senior Dino Fanti will lead that charge for the Panthers, as he has for the last two years. “Everything has to start with Dino. It’s been that way around here for a

few years,” Dameron said. “He’s active and intelligent. “He’s played at an allconference level, and we expect him to continue to play that way.” Last week Fanti had a season-high two tackles for loss, which gives him five for the season. His experience on the field has coincided with the emergence of McDonald, who is in his first
year starting at middle linebacker. Tennessee State comes into this game with a 3-2 overall record, but are 0-2 in OVC play. That doesn’t change the fact that the Tigers are a dangerous team Dameron said. “TSU’s a very scary team, dangerous. (Rod) Reed’s done a great job,” Dameron said. “We’re just trying to
make sure we’re 1-0 at the end of the week, keeping our focus on us, and making sure we’re the best us we can be.” Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. in Nashville, TN at Nissan Stadium. Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu.
Women’s soccer team hosts Eastern Kentucky By Elias Albert Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern women’s soccer will end its four-game home stand with a conference matchup against Eastern Kentucky at 3 p.m. Friday. Eastern enters the game at 3-10-2 on the season and 1-4-1 within OVC play. Eastern Kentucky comes in with a 2-12 record and are 2-4 in the OVC. Eastern coach Jason Cherry said he would like to pick up another win while his team plays at home for the last time until Halloween weekend. “I think it’s a big game for us,” Cherry said. “We’ve built some confidence on our own field, going 1-11 and beating teams ranked highly in the conference. We definitely seem to play a bit better over at Lakeside.” Cherry said having one game this weekend also benefits his team. He said it is preferable to prepare for one opponent rather than two. In the last game, Eastern fell just short to Morehead State 1-0 in double overtime after a late penalty kick. Cherry said he’d like to see his team move on from the close loss. “It was tough to lose that way,” Cherry said. “But we learned from it and now know what we need to work on to improve.” Eastern scored one goal during the three-game of the current home stand, which came from midfielder sophomore Ali Carlson for her first of the season. Cherry said he would like to see some improvement all along the offensive side, mainly when it comes to finishing on scoring opportunities. “We’ve created quality chances for ourselves, but we came up just short on a lot of them,” Cherry said. “It might just be a case relaxing and taking a smart shot when the chance arises.” Eastern Kentucky enters the game ranked ninth in the OVC in goals allowed during conference play, with 10. Cherry said he thinks his team will have chances and expects the ear-

ly-season stars to rise again as well as players who have yet to break through, like forward sophomore Madi Fisher. “I think gets better every game,” Cherry said. “I expect her to perform and end up somewhere on the box score.” He pointed out players like senior forwards Molly Hawkins and Hannah Miller who he also thinks can be difference makers. Cherry said he is looking for more of the same out of his team defensively. “We always have things to work on with the defense,” Cherry said. “But we’ve done well lately and we have built a lot of pride in that.” With Eastern Kentucky, Cherry said he will have his team ready for whatever their offense comes out with. Eastern Kentucky sits at 1st in the
OVC with over 14 shots per game. However, Eastern goalkeeper Maddie Lyon leads the conference in saves to this point. “We’ve come to expect great play out of her,” Cherry said. “She’s helped give our defense more confidence and keep us in these games.” Lyon is coming off a third-straight regulation shutout. Cherry said his team needs to continue to perform well on both ends if they hope to contend when the postseason begins. “It goes back to doing the little things,” Cherry said. “We want to pick up points, but we’d like to turn some of these into wins to put ourselves in the best position.” Elias Albert can be reached at 581-2812 or at ewalbert@eiu.edu.
The Eastern athletics department unveiled a new Panther logo a week ago after the Vice President for University Advancement Bob Martin announced the change in the Buzzard Hall Auditorium. This logo replaces the most recent Eastern Panthers logo, which has been used since 2000. The new logo made its first appearance for competition Saturday as the Eastern football team sported the logo in its helmets in the game against Southeast Missouri at O’Brien Field. Several athletes have expressed their opinion for the new logo, as it will eventually be implemented in every sport. Since last spring, a committee of people including members of the Eastern administration, athletics, employees of the Eastern bookstore and Eastern Board of Trustees student representative junior Catie Witt have been working with the Collegiate Licensing Company on this logo. The committee looked at a number of different looks and color schemes that work. Senior tennis player Robert Skolik said he thought the new logo turned out great, but wishes the unveiling came out earlier. “I do wish they could have unveiled it prior to the semester start-
ing,” Skolik said. “I think it will be interesting watching the athletics at EIU shifting to a new theme throughout the year.” Martin explained during the unveiling last week that the process to change out the older version of the logo that are already incorporated on the campus will not just change overnight. The new logo that is currently in the middle of the football field will stay as long as it can until it wears out, or until the university gets enough money to replace it. Eastern senior volleyball player Stephanie Wallace said she was skeptical about the new logo. “It is really different from the old logo,” she said. “I personally don’t think it looks a lot like a Panther. I will get used to it though. It’s just really different.” Eastern senior soccer player Molly Hawkins was also indifferent about the logo. “It is more modern looking and unlike other school’s logos,” she said. “It does give a new and refreshing look to Eastern, but after having the old logo for nearly 3.5 years of my college career, it’s going to take a little bit of getting used to.” This logo is the seventh in Eastern’s history.

SEAN HASTINGS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Sophomore kicker Nick Bruno is 4-7 on field goals this year. Bruno made two field goals on Saturday to contribute to the Panthers’ 33-28 win against Southeast Missouri.
Bruno makes comeback following injury By Maria Baldwin Staff Reporter| @DEN_Sports Before starting his football career, sophomore kicker Nick Bruno did what many kickers do, play soccer. Although soccer was his first sport, Bruno liked being on the football field more. ‘’I played soccer, and then a teacher I had, who also coached football asked if I had ever kicked a football, and I told him no, but that I would like to try.’’ Bruno said. “It was different. The atmosphere is completely different. Football just felt more right to me.’’ Bruno took his kicking experience from Daytona Beach, Fla. to Charleston and despite the climate change was successful his first year, earning Freshman All-American Honors. In his first season, Bruno was 14of-16 in field goal attempts, his lon-
gest field goal being 45 yards. For his skills he was also named to the AllOVC Newcomer Team. Bruno knows what it takes to perfect his skills in the off-season. “The off-season for me is just getting stronger and working on my technique. I don’t kick as much but I’ll work on my steps.’’ Bruno said. “I’ll work on the little things, like the inches and centimeters that make a difference.’’ Eastern coach Kim Dameron said Bruno brings a strong leg to the team, and Bruno said he knows the importance of being accurate. “When we can’t score a touchdown, we have to kick a field goal, the strengths I bring are in my kicking.’’ Bruno said. “My goals are just to put them through and make my kicks perfect. You’re going to miss here and there but hopefully I can continue to put them through.’’
So far in his sophomore season Bruno is 4-7 in field goal attempts, his longest was hit from 39 yards. “When you miss you have to take the time to figure out what you did wrong, or maybe you know right away, which most of the time I know exactly what I did wrong when it happens. Just focusing on that, and correcting the next one and relying on your technique.’’ Bruno said. “It’s all a mind game really. You have to envision yourself doing it before you do it. When you step out there you have to envision the best situation possible.’’ The worst situation possible Bruno could have imagined occurred last spring when he faced surgery on his hip. The road to recovery was hard but Bruno is on the comeback. “I just came off hip surgery so hopefully I can get back to how I
was before. I’m struggling a little bit but hopefully I’ll get more consistent and keep putting them through.’’ Bruno said. “The recovery was hard and rehab was very difficult for me. It was a long process, and it was painful. Once I got it all right it just clicked again.’’ After the hip surgery, Dameron said he is happy with what Bruno has done. “He had surgery in the offseason on his hip,” Dameron said. “It’s been a bit of a process, getting him back into a groove. But I was really happy he hit 2-for-2 last week (against Southeast Missouri), which was huge for us. We won by five and he scored on nine of the points that we scored.” Bruno said he and the rest of the Panthers are excited to play Jacksonville State after their current 2-0 starts in the Ohio Valley Con-
ference. He said Jacksonville is the team to beat right now, as the Panthers hope to win the conference. Bruno said he can handle the pressure of how important his role is on the field in just the very short time he is out there. “I really like being able to score a lot of points all the time. If there score I know I can put a point up. It’s just fun to me as in just trying to see how accurate you can be and how consistent you can be. I like putting myself in pressure situations, I get a joy out of that,’’ Bruno said. Bruno and the rest of the Panthers will travel to Nashville this Saturday to play the Tennessee State Tigers at 6 p.m. Maria Baldwin can be reached at 581-2812 or mjbaldwin@eiu.edu.
Panthers return home to face Tennessee-Martin By Ali Kissane Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team returns home to Lantz Arena this weekend where they have not lost in Ohio Valley Conference play this season. T h e Pa n t h e r s a r e 2 - 0 w h e n playing in Lantz Arena and are excited to be back on their own court. They will start the weekend off by taking on the University of Tennessee-Martin on Friday and finish the weekend off by taking on Southeast Missouri. “It’s nice to not have to worry about getting on the road and traveling again,” Eastern coach Sam Wolinski said. “ They can take care of what they need to take care of in the classroom and then we can get on the court.” After dropping a three-set match last weekend against Mur-
ray State, the Panthers got right back to playing their game and won against Austin Peay. “Anytime you get a loss you obviously want to get another win in conference,” Wolinski said. “We wanted to make sure that we’re 4-2 and finishing still in that top half of conference, so I think that’s definitely the motivation right there.” Eastern made adjustments to their lineup as senior setter, Abby Saalfrank will continue to sit out. One of the Panthers’ key players so far in conference play has been senior outside hitter/middle back, Chelsea Lee. “This weekend Chelsea Lee was actually our most consistent attacker,” Wolinski said. “Even against Murray she led us in kills, she did a great job again against Austin Peay.” Sophomore middle hitters, Allie Houston and Josie Winner also
“No match is a given, you have to come ready, bring your A-game and we just want to continue where we left off from Austin Peay heading into this weekend.” - Sam Wolinski Eastern Volleyball Coach contributed to getting the win against Austin Peay. UT Martin and SEMO are both coming to Lantz Arena with 3-3 records and the Panthers will have the opportunity to get a couple more key wins in OVC play. “We want to make sure we’re
6-2 and staying in that top three in the conference,” Wolinski said. “Great part is we’re home for the next two weekends and I think that helps us a lot as well in this point of the season.” Tennessee-Mar tin has a ne w head coach and so far they have
been playing well according to Wolinski. “ I t ’s c o n f e r e n c e , i t ’s c o m ing ready to play,” Wolinski said. “No match is a given, you have to come ready, bring your A-game a n d we j u s t w a n t t o c o n t i n u e where we left off from Austin Peay heading into this weekend.” The Panthers are in the top of the conference right now and grabbing two wins will only help their chances to keep playing into late November. Wolinski said they would accomplish this by not doing anything fancy on the court and just being consistent. The match against TennesseeMartin will start at 7 p.m. Friday, and Saturday’s match with SEMO is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start. Ali Kissane can be reached at 581-2812 or at aakissane@eiu.edu.
