Panel gives franchising advice from business leaders By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Panelists gave audience members advice on franchising and answered questions at “The Ins and Outs of Franchising: What You Need to Know” as part of Entrepreneurship Week Thursday. Some told stories, such as Jim Severson, franchise owner of Hilton, Holiday Inn, and Marriott hotels. Before Severson became a franchise owner of hotels, he decided to buy a restaurant with his business partner. Severson and his partner had to come up with $30,000 each, so he went to his father for a loan. His dad was hesitant at first, because Severson had gone to college for engineering. “He asked, why did we put you through school?” Severson said. “He tried to do everything to dissuade me.” Severson was at first heartbroken, thinking his father would not loan him the money. But the next morning, his father told Severson he had always wanted to open his own business but could not because he had a family to support. Severson’s father ended up loaning Severson the money he needed that morning. Steven Michael, professor of entrepreneurship and strategy, moderated the panel, which consisted of Severson, Darrell Fisher, vice president of franchise operations at Midas International in Chicago, Cassandra Halm, franchise bureau chief in the Office of the Attorney General in Illinois, and Moni Sheehan, franchise owner of the Mattoon Dairy Queen. Michael said franchising is a method of business that has been fabulously successful throughout the world. Franchises are established by a legal contract. The franchisee is not an employee, but instead creates a contract with the franchisor. “It’s a relationship of legal independence, but economic and strategic interdependence,” Michael said. “That’s important to remember.” Halm stressed the importance of franchisees hiring a lawyer or accountant to look over documents. “Make sure that the franchisees understand what they’re getting into,” Halm said.

Darrell Fisher, vice president of franchise operations for Midas International in Chicago, discusses the advantages of working for a franchise as opposed to being part of an independent business during “The Ins and Outs of Franchising: What You Need to Know” event on Thursday in Lumpkin Hall.
Audience members were given cards they could write questions down on to ask the panelists. Michael read from a card that said, “Why should I invest in such a leap of faith, draw a line in the sand operation as a franchise, rather than punching a clock for a big company? Why should I do this? Money or something else?” Fisher said money and drive had something to do with it, as well as the fact that in a job where you “punch the clock” for a big company, there
can be a limit to the upside. “Owning a business and driving your passion to run a business, and executing that business plan flawlessly, your upside is not limited,” Fisher said. Sheehan said a perk was being able to be your own boss. “You absolutely have to have a stellar work ethic,” Sheehan said. “You have to get in there and bust your butt.” Severson he would rather work 100 hours a
week for himself than work 10 hours for someone else. The panel also discussed identifying good labor and identifying good customers for their franchises. “As a business owner, your biggest battle is getting employees that will clean up and show up and do the job as the job description entails and as they were trained to do,” Sheehan said.

New community set to Legal services provide consultations to students help with substance abuse By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Even though Steve Davis, former Student Legal Services attorney, has retired after 35 years of working at Eastern, legal services are still able to provide consultation to students. Kirsten Bays became the new student legal services attorney in mid-September, and works part time at Eastern while practicing privately in adoption and reproductive technology. Bays said she has spoken with Davis and knew him from the years, giving her an idea of what was involved in the job. “He told me I could call him anytime. He’s very helpful,” Bays said. As Student Legal Services attorney, Bays gives students legal advice on typical student legal issues and potentially refers them to an attorney. These include traffic ordinance violations like underage drinking tickets, minor criminal issues, landlord-tenant issues and expunction. Expunction is getting minor criminal issues off of student’s records. “There’s a series of steps you have to follow,
and that’s pretty much what I’ve done: tell students what they are and the paperwork,” Bays said. Bays said a lot of students might not understand the terminology they have in their leases, and she is able to explain it to them. “Generally, (students) get it then,” Bays said. Bays had one student come in to have Bays read her lease before she signed it. “I loved that,” Bays said. “It was pro-active. She knew all the things she had to do to move in and check out and make sure she got her security deposit back.” Although Bays recommends being proactive, she understands leases can be long to read. “If you’ve never had a problem, you wouldn’t know how this applies,” Bays said. “If you’ve always had great experiences wherever you rented, you don’t know what this means until you have to use it.” Bays cannot go to court with students, but instead gives them advice and tells them what their options might be and how to access an attorney.

By Mackenzie Freund City Editor | @mgfreund_news Providing a safe place for students dealing with substance abuse has become more of a focus for college campuses across the country. The Health Education Resource Center has started a new program called Collegiate Recovery Community, which gives students this safe place. The main focus of the community, as explained by Mike Tozer, an alcohol prevention, intervention and recovery specialist, is to provide a safe and comfortable place for students dealing with substance abuse in themselves or within their family to be with others who have had similar experiences. “This is a place where people can go that are trying to remain abstinent- free from (substances)- can go and feel safe and comfortable when they’re there,” Tozer said. Tozer said the community is something that has been growing across the country over the last four to five years, and Eastern is the first college in the state to start a program.
There are approximately 200 schools across the nation that have developed this program. Tozer said that substance abuse prevention and treatment is becoming more of a priority in higher education; recovery services and CRC’s fall into those categories. “They’re really starting to see the need to bring these to campuses so we can not only have prevention or intervention for drinking or drug use, but we have students who are already here trying to stay or remain abstinent,” Tozer said. The community allows students to be around others in an environment where they do not have to worry about facing more possibilities of alcohol or other substances. Tozer said he began doing research on the CRC last year to find out more information about it so the community could be formed this year. Over the summer, Tozer said paperwork was filed so that the HERC could receive a grant to help fund the CRC on campus.

Eastern’s Ballenger Teachers Center invites children to a free storytime on Nov. 7 and Nov. 14. The Ballenger Teacher Center is teaming up with Kappa Delta Pi and Sigma Rho Epsilon to allow children ages 3 to 7 to attend the event. Children will have the opportunity to be involved in crafting, activities, and feature stories from 10 -11 a.m. at Booth Library. All of the children participating in storytime have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian while they are in the library. The children will be moving around from different groups, but their parent or guardian needs to be in the room with them. The activities are a part of a three-set piece. The first program was on Halloween. This program allowed the children to participate in Halloween-themed activities as well as meet the trombone player who was associated with the Doudna Fine Arts Center that day. The Saturday program will have a “being thankful” theme and will involve turkey and pumpkin making as well as leaf rubbing. The children will also discuss things they are thankful for as a precursor to the upcoming holiday season. The members of Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary society of educators, will be there helping with the event. The members who will be in attendance have a concentration in elementary education and are well fit for the age group attending the event. The Nov. 14 program will have a

Jeanne Goble, a senior library specialist at Booth, has participated in putting these events together for the
children. “Last Saturday’s event was fantastic,” Goble said. “They had a lot of hands on with a trombone player.” The event splits up the children into stations so they are all doing something different.

Usable passwords must be between 8 and 15 characters long, start with a letter, have both upper and lower case letters, have at least one number and one special character. Also, previously used passwords are not acceptable. “I’d rather know that my information with the school is secure,” Bennett said. “If changing my password is a way to keep it secure, I’m fine with doing it.” The existing policy also recommends that students try to avoid recognizable and associable names or phrases in their password. Students should also refrain from using birthdates in their passwords. Emmerich said changing an East-

3 ‘Divine Nine’ prepare for annual Step Show FRIDAY, NOV. 6, 2015
By Chris Picazo Opinions Editor | @DEN_News Students and community members looking to join the National Pan-Hellenic Council for its annual Step Show can do so during Black Student Reunion Saturday. Doors for the event will open at 6 p.m. at McAfee Gym, and the show will be from 7-10 p.m. The NPHC, or “Divine Nine,” are nine African-American-lettered organizations. The sororities consist of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho. The fraternities are: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma and Iota Phi Theta. Mona Davenport, director of Minority Affairs, said the Step Show is a traditional event that happens with African-American Greek organizations on campus. “It is just a form of expression,” Davenport said. “It is something that has been going on forever. It’s literally just an expression of their organization and rhythmic moves.” Shawn Peoples, associate director of Student Standards, said the show consists of traditional stepping. “There is a little bit of dancing in there, but each of the groups has their own unique style,” Peoples said. “So the show will consist of performances by those groups who are competing for the title of BSR/NPHC 2015 Step Show
Champs.” Peoples said not all of the Greek organizations will be in the competition portion of the Step Show, but groups will also participate in an exhibition showcase. Peoples also said the importance of the event is to show individuals the history of these groups and their traditions. “Stepping has been part of the groups for a number of years, and so it is an opportunity to showcase those groups, to showcase their talents and also to showcase the traditions of the organizations themselves,” Peoples said. Shavon Francis, president of Delta Sigma Theta, said the purpose of the event is to showcase the skills and creativity of the Greek organizations in NPHC, and the event is also largely a fundraising event. Francis said a large percentage of the profits go toward a graduate scholarship. Davenport said the organizations ask alumni for donations to assist with scholarships given to undergraduate students at Eastern. Practice for the Step Show starts early for the groups and Peoples said some groups begin practicing as early as summer break, while many wait to begin practice when classes resume in August. Melanie Dyer, president of Zeta Beta Phi, said practicing for the Step Show requires a lot of time and dedication. “There are long nights and you

would swear you added on another class,” Dyer said. Dyer also said she is looking forward to showcasing the organization’s performance at the event. “We always put 100 percent into everything that we do,” Dyer said. “Every year we make it a priority to dedicate our time to step show to make sure that we are giving it everything that we’ve
got.” Francis also said she is looking forward to the group’s performance and “loves” to see what other organizations have put together. Tickets for the event can be purchased now for $20 on the university union ticket website or tickets can be purchased at the door for $25. “It is a good time for everybody to
come together and everybody is usually familiar with the different groups, and so they all have their own unique style of stepping and what they do and you’re always excited to see what they do each year,” Peoples said. Chris Picazo can be reached at 581-2812 or cepicazo@eiu.edu.
Jazz faculty to perform fundraising concert By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News Eastern’s jazz faculty will be performing a full-length jazz concert at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Theatre. The performance will feature a variety of musical pieces ranging from jazz standards to music created by contemporary composers including Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Sam Fagaly, the director of jazz studies, said this will be the first time this semester the full jazz faculty will be performing in the same concert.
“It’s the first one that has our full jazz faculty performing, but the trio, Paul Johnston on piano, Ryan Tucker on bass and Jamie V. Ryan on drums, had a recital a few weeks back,” Fagaly said. “We have other folks that will be joining them.” The concert performance on Sunday will feature the trio as well as Fagaly, Andrew Cheetham, Jemmie Robertson, Nick Tucker and Scott Hesse. “Well there’s a good variety of pieces,” Fagaly said. “People who are jazz fans will probably recognize these composers: Cedar Walton, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock and Wayne
Shorter. Those are great jazz composers.” Fagaly also said there will be a mix of some contemporary jazz along with some familiar jazz pieces. “For the last three years, I believe, we’ve done this on the corresponding Sunday each fall semester,” Fagaly said. “Two of the members of the group are not local to Charleston. (Tucker) comes over from Indianapolis, and (Hesse) lives in Chicago. They come down to teach but since they’re not local folks, it’s harder to get together as a full group very frequently.”
This year the proceeds from the tickets will go to the David Frank Tanner/Ronald Eugene Gholson Endowed Fund Celebrating the Goodness of Music. The endowment fund was established in 2009 by Ronald Gholson, a professor of education, in tribute of his friend, David Tanner. The endowment has helped to pay for equipment, travel costs, scholarships, and bring in guest artists for Eastern’s jazz program. “It’s to support really all kinds of activates in the jazz program, including scholarships, bringing in guest
artists, sometimes its equipment, or music that we purchase, a variety of things that are not supported by the normal operational budget given to the department of music,” Fagaly said. “We rely on it quite a bit to do really do anything besides our normal classwork if we want to take a trip or have a guest artist, we have to use funds from that account.” Tickets for the jazz concert are $10 for general admission and $5 for students. Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.

Shave off stereotypes During my freshman year of high school, I participated in “No Shave November” for the first time. My involvement was even published in the school newspaper. It was the first time I had ever been interviewed for a story, and I was super proud of myself for it. That is, until I was laughed at and ridiculed simultaneously by males and females alike when the article was released. These critics scornfully told me I was not only gross but masculine for my excess amount of hair. After that humiliating experience, I was ashamed to have body hair, even if it was for a good cause (prostate cancer awareness). However, over the years, I’ve learned to disregard the negativity projected on me by naysayers. This indifference to the opinions of others has helped me realize that shaving is an unnecessary cultural construct. That is why I refuse to pick up a razor ever again.

Letter to the Editor A letter to the editor from Gary Aylesworth and James Conwell (Nov. 5th) contains six reasons for bringing a confidence/no-confidence petition to the Faculty Senate. However, the last item states, “Provost Lord allowed to go forward a list of eligible voters in the current referendum that included names of administrators who have faculty titles (including vice-presidents and deans), in clear violation of the intention of the Faculty Senate when it revised its constitution last year.” This is an inaccurate statement. Faculty Senate’s revised constitution contained language that opened the door (inadvertently) to allowing administrators who also hold faculty rank to participate in the voting. Provost Blair Lord had no role in the process of identifying or approving the list of potential voters. Rather, the Faculty Senate elections committee chair made the request to Dr. Jeff Cross (Associate VPAA) using the exact language of the senate’s constitutional definition of “faculty” (i.e., holding the rank of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, professor, chair), who then authorized ITS to generate the list of voters. As a Faculty Senate executive committee, we agreed that we were on safer ground to use the approved constitutional language instead of changing it ourselves without having the power within us to do so. When the voting results are made public, the report will include the number of eligible voters who are a part of each voting constituency, including the number of administrators who also hold faculty rank.

Staff Editorial
Do not be quick to judge students, others In the past few weeks, there have been a string of crime incidents both on and offcampus that have prompted much backlash from members of the Charleston community. Many students and residents of the community have said they feel unsafe because of the incidents, which is understandable, but there has always been one constant trend with each crime. The residents of Charleston blame the students or the minority community and that needs to stop. As soon as crime happens off-campus many begin to point their fingers at the minority college students on campus using a racial slur and/or assuming they are from Chicago just because they are not Caucasian. Many of these comments are from the Charleston Police Department Facebook page, which a lot of students read and they are both upset and hurt by the language used.
What the community needs to understand is that crimes happen anywhere and by anyone. Just because someone is from Chicago, it does not mean that they are more prone to committing violence. People need to stop blaming that city and its residents for whatever crime happens in Charleston. A location does not make a criminal, the action performed and carried out there does. At The News, we have minority reporters and journalists that are not from the Chicago area, but we also have some who are, which could easily be said for the rest of the university. The Charleston community should not be so quick to judge someone based off the color of their skin and blame an entire group of people for the actions of others. Just like those who have lived in Charleston all of their lives, students of all nationalities and ethnicities work, live and gener-
ate income to the town from August until at least May. Furthermore, saying these students need to go back to Chicago is not helping the situation because students bring a lot of income into the community. Many businesses in the town depend heavily on student spending. However much a student spends at a business during the academic year could mean the difference between being able to stay open in the summer or closing for the season. Again, Charleston should not be so quick to judge and point the finger whenever crime happens and the town would do well to remember the string of robberies that occurred earlier in the year were done by local high school students—not minority Eastern students from Chicago. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Make Eastern, community welcoming Eastern has a beautiful campus. It constantly has people buzzing from place to place, people having conversations, or people selling things on the sidewalks. Eastern Illinois University is a partially-full place that is full of positivity. However, crime on campus has been a big topic on the minds of people around here lately. There have been alleged shots fired, tire slashing, Wal-Mart fights and robberies. While all of these things are awful, the big question is, “How are these events going to affect the Eastern community in the future?” I am sure many people in the community can agree with me when I say that I do not want these events to affect campus in a negative way. However, negativity has shone on Eastern from a local and statewide light from this. One of the consequences of these events may be that enrollment could continue to decline. This may be due to the economy and high cost of school, or it could be from people being concerned for their safety on campus. If one of these reasons can be avoided, then why don’t we? Do we really want to risk more declines on campus? While the community cannot really control what people do or what crimes are com-
Sydney Edwards mitted, we can come together to make campus look better though volunteering, or by just making students touring Eastern feel welcomed. We want to convey to them that Eastern is where to be. The community can host volunteer events to clean up campus. Future Panthers love to see a clean campus that they can see themselves living at. Registered Student Organizations can be on the sidewalks doing little events at the Open Houses in order to show that there is always something fun to do on campus. The student body can smile and wave at future Panthers as they walk by on Open House dates. If one of the families or students look lost,
students can stop, smile and show them the way. So many people say that Eastern has a small-town feel. However, not many people show others the small town attractions (besides the bars). Charleston has so much to offer. So, spend more time in the community. Offer others to do the same. The more Eastern students go into the community, the more the people in the Charleston area get a feel of what Eastern students are like. When they get a good feeling about the Eastern community, there will be a bond to fill. Let’s break the wall between Charleston and Eastern and just be a community or a family. Overall, the Eastern community needs to take steps just to make Eastern seem even greater than it already is. We need to show the community and future Panthers that Eastern is not just a place to get a degree, it is a place where people should be able to grow and have an amazing time while being a Panther. Let’s take steps to make Eastern the best it can be in the upcoming semester and school year. Sydney Edwards is a freshman marketing major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or skedwards2@eiu.edu.

He said he was sure each of the panelists could tell stories of smiles that they have brought to their customers, directly or indirectly. “A person whose stranded and his vehicle isn’t moving, a person whose desperate for a good night›s sleep before the big sales call the next morning, or watching the state champion baseball team coming in for a round of blizzards,” Michael said.

After school program teaches children French, Spanish By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor |@DEN_News An after-school program focused on connecting Eastern and neighboring communities has been running since the ‘90s, and involves students teaching elementary children a foreign language. Eastern students are given the role of teacher and conduct interactive activities with elementary students in 45 minute lessons. The languages being taught this semester are Spanish and French. Eastern students teach a class size of eight to 10 and make their own lesson plans with this semester’s school, Jefferson Elementary School. Christiane Eydt-Beebe, the interim chair of the department of foreign language, said she prepares Eastern’s students to go out and teach to the community’s children. She said students are not required to be majoring in education to teach in the program. “It’s them figuring out how to teach fourth graders, who are very lively, in an educational and entertaining way,” Eydt-Beebe said. “They have to teach them effectively and also they have to teach in a way to help the children retain the
information.” Eydt-Beebe said this program is a hands-on approach both for Eastern’s students and the elementary children. The children play interactive games like, Twister and Bingo, in a different language. “This is theory put into practice for the (Eastern) students,” Eydt-Beebe said. Veronica Skidmore, a senior Spanish major with teacher certification, knows five languages including French, Italian, German and English, with her native language being Spanish. Skidmore said her parents were teachers, so their passion to pass on knowledge pushed her to carry the torch of knowledge. This is Skidmore’s third year in the program and said the children’s curiosity and excitement brings her back each year. She said children are the future, so now is the time to utilize their eagerness to learn a different language. “With language comes culture, so it’s a way to learn about culture,” Skidmore said. “Kids are like sponges and they assimilate everything and they are more open to learn than kids who are a little bit older.” Skidmore said it is important for Eastern students to connect with the Charleston communi-
ty because students are studying to be a part of a unit one day and college is a good way to begin bridging gaps within similar but unlike communities. Paisley Adams, a junior Spanish major with teacher certification, said her experience with her Spanish teacher in high school inspired her to teach Spanish. She said her enthusiasm changed her life and helped her make the decision to pass knowledge to the next generations. “It’s their reaction, excitement and that smile they have on their face when they are learning a new language that makes it all worth it,” Adams said. Adams said community members need to see the Eastern students doing something valuable. “It’s a way for community members to see that we’re not just a bunch of college students hanging out,” Adams said. Adams said her first day teaching was nervewracking. She said not knowing what to expect or if the children would be receptive to her was the hardest part. She said after meeting them she found out they were a phenomenal group of children. Adams said Eastern cares about the commu-
nity and the students want to make an impact on the world around them. Tionna Alderson, a senior communication disorders and sciences major, said the program is giving her experience in teaching in a shared way. She said there has not been a positive light on Eastern lately. She said this program provides a way for the Charleston community to see students from a different angle. Adams also had a similar outlook on things. “It’s something that’s important to us and something that we are really passionate about and it’s something the community should see,” Adams said. “We’re teaching their children a new language and that there are possibilities outside the four walls of their classrooms.” Alderson said the after school program gives the younger generations a chance to grasp a culture and do great things with it. “We get so wrapped up in what we’re used to that we forget that other people have their own way of life and I think that’s the importance of foreign language,” Alderson said.

“If a student came in and had a question about a family law matter, I would answer that question for them, but really I focus more on things students run into all the time,” Bays said. Bays also teaches law classes at Eastern through the college of family and consumer sciences, and said it was neat to see students from a new perspective. “A lot of what we talk about are things we’ve talked about in class as well, but it’s more of a one-on-one basis,” Bays said. Bays said the students keep her young. “They’re fun to talk to. I like being around them,” Bays said. “They have a different perspective on life.” Bays had to refresh a few areas of law that she had not looked at for several years before starting her new job. “I had to get up to speed on those, but it wasn’t terrible,” Bays said. She said the biggest challenge was scheduling, because she is working part time.

it is similar to other places on campus, such as the Cultural Center and the Military Student Assistance Center. Tozer said that the more students that get involved with the CRC, the more it will grow into a peer-run program. “It’s their program, so they need to be the ones that are guiding it and directing it in the direction that’s going to work best for what were doing here,” Tozer said. Tozer said another point of the CRC is to help break the stigma of substance abuse and using terms like “alcoholic,” or “addict.” The term “person in long term recovery” is now becoming more popular. “They can go to school; they can get good grades; they can do pretty much anything,” Tozer said. “They just have this illness, this problem, where they’re drinking or using drugs, and they’re likely to jeopardize their college career.”

7 Cross country teams on final stretch of season
FRIDAY, NOV. 6, 2015
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS
By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men and women’s cross country teams both placed second at the Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships and will try to continue their success at the NCAA Midwest Regional next weekend. Both teams began the year with first place finishes at the EIU Walt Crawford Open. Next up was the Illinois State invite where the men came in fourth of eight teams and the women came in sixth out of nine. Junior Ivy Handley compared the two teams to a family. “We all enjoy what we do,” Handley said. “We hold each other accountable to be the best runners and people we can be. My teammates are my best friends, my tutors, my family away from my real family and I am the same to them.” The third meet of the year was a third place finish out of 18 teams for the men that competed at the Notre Dame invitational in the beginning of October. The women placed eighth out of 19. The men had another top-ten performance at the Bradley Pink Classic where they came in sixth of 26 teams. The women finished 14th out of 30 women’s teams. The last meet they had before the conference championships was the Illini Open, where the women placed fifth out of eight teams. There were no team scores kept for the men. Junior Riley McInerney of the men’s team and sophomore Maria Baldwin of the women’s team each earned first team All-OVC honors this year. McInerney had a first place finish in the first meet of the year. At the Illinois State invite he came in second with a time of 24:41.7 sec-

onds, and at the Notre Dame invite he placed third with his time of 24:40.7 seconds. He earned a new personal record at the Bradley Pink Classic with a time of 24:28.4 seconds and a 21st place finish. Baldwin also had a first place finish at the beginning of the year at the EIU Walt Crawford Open with a time of 18:03.48 seconds. She set her personal record at the
Notre Dame invite with her time of 17:44.5 seconds in a race that she placed seventh. She placed sixth at the OVC Championships with a time of 17:46 seconds. The men and women also each had a runner that earned second team AllOVC honors. Juniors Paxson Menard of the men’s team and Handley of the women’s each had performances in the
conference championships which earned them second team honors. Menard earned the honor with his ninth place finish with a time of 25:13.2 seconds and Handley got the honor after a placing 13th with a time of 18:10.5 seconds. Junior Tyler Yunk just missed out on second team honors for the men with his 15th place finish at the conference championships. Handley earned her place on the
All-OVC second team after a placing 13th with a time of 18:10.5 seconds. She said she felt highly about receiving this honor. “It’s incredible,” she said. “All of the hard work paid off.” The NCAA Midwest Regional takes place Nov. 13 and the NCAA Championship is Nov. 21.

Eastern volleyball team hits road for weekend matches By Tiffany Wayne Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports After splitting its matches last weekend on the road, the Eastern volleyball team will hit the road again this weekend to play Eastern Kentucky on Friday and Morehead State on Saturday. The Panthers are fresh off a win against Tennessee-Martin after losing to Southeast Missouri and losing their five-game winning streak in the process. Eastern Kentucky has a record of 7-5 and Morehead State is currently 6-6.
This weekend will be a new test for the Panthers, as they have not seen either team yet this year. Coach Sam Wolinski said that she and assistant coach Peter Green both had to really look at what these teams do so they can be ready for them. Late in the season, the Panthers have already played a few of the other teams one time before and had a chance to look back at the first match to ready themselves for the second. Although the Panthers have not played either team, they will see some similarities between them and Morehead State as they both play a 6-2 style offense.
The Panthers practice against a 6-2 offense in practice and Wolinski said that will help them this weekend, even though Morehead runs it a little differently. Morehead State has two outside hitters that will get the ball often that the Panthers will be looking for. Wolinski said that they have been focusing on a way to win the matches quickly. “Going into practice this week just taking care of our controllables and being more efficient at what we are doing and find a way to win early on,” Wolinski said. Wolinski added that the strengths
for the Panthers include putting focus on getting after their serving as well as on the defensive end, and that the team’s blocking has picked up later in the season. Many of Eastern’s players usually get double digit kills, which has helped them get a few wins as they usually out-kill their opponents. “I think we are doing a good job. If you were to look at our stats sheet we are averaging anywhere from four to six people in double figures with kills,” Wolinski said. One of their biggest challenges against Eastern Kentucky will be to take out the middle out of their of-
fense according to Wolinski. Rachel Vick has the second most kills on Eastern Kentucky’s roster with 219. She also has the highest kill percentage with .244. The Panthers run an offense similar to Morehead State. but that is not the case with Eastern Kentucky. Eastern Kentucky runs a slower offense than the Panthers. “Our serving game is going to be huge. I think that if we serve aggressive that will keep them out of system,” Wolinski said. Tiffany Wayne can be reached 581-2812 or tdwayne@eiu.edu.

Panthers face No. 1 Gamecocks Saturday By Blake Nash Staff Reporter | @Banash5 It only takes one for the Eastern football team this Saturday. One victory over Jacksonville State puts the Panthers in the driver’s seat of first place in the Ohio Valley Conference, and one win would dethrone the Gamecocks, who have been ranked No. 1 in the FCS since September. Only one team has been able to defeat Jacksonville State this year. An overtime loss to Auburn, a game in which the Gamecocks led for most of the game, remains the lone blemish on their record. But this Saturday, they will play an Eastern team that has been unbeaten in the OVC all season, and has waited all year for this opportunity to defeat one of the conference’s best teams. “We’ve fought very hard over the last five weeks to get to this position, where we’re one of two undefeated teams in the league,” Eastern coach Kim Dameron said. This is the second year in a row that these two teams have met late in the season, with conference championship implications depending on the outcome. Jacksonville State won last year’s matchup in Jacksonville, Ala. by a score of 27-20. It has been a pattern in recent years, having both these teams competing for the OVC crown late in the season. Both have combined for nine of the last 12 conference championships since the Gamecocks joined the OVC in 2003. Red-shirt senior defensive tackle Dino Fanti won one of those championships in 2013, and said that the key to the Panthers’ recent success has been execution, not just skill. “It’s not about us being better athletes, or being stronger or faster,” Fanti said. “It’s about us doing our

job better than them.” The Gamecocks have the best offense in the OVC, averaging over
500 yards of offense and 39.8 points per game this season. If that were not enough to describe their season so
far, spectators only need to look at the Gamecocks’ defensive stats. Jacksonville State is first in the
conference in several defensive categories, including scoring defense, total defense and rushing defense. Eastern has averaged 206 yards on the ground through eight games this season, with junior transfer Devin Church leading the way with 568 yards on 110 carries. Only the Gamecocks, who average 270 yards on the ground, rank ahead of the Panthers. For Dameron and the Panthers, being their best gives Eastern an advantage on Saturday. “We have to make sure we’re the best Eastern Illinois football team we can be when we take the field, because that’s the only chance we have,” Dameron said. Fanti leads all Panther defensive linemen with 43 tackles, including 13 for loss. Fanti recorded four tackles for loss last week, becoming the all-time leader in school history. His head coach said that Fanti’s intelligence has also been a part of his record-breaking career. “He’s not a guy that just runs around like a blind dog in a meat house,” Dameron said. “He studies the game extremely well and knows our defense, as well as opponents’ offensive line and formations.” Jacksonville State’s offensive personnel remind Dameron of another familiar opponent. Quarterback Eli Jenkins and running back Troymaine Pope are similar to Illinois State’s quarterback and running back combo of Tre Roberson and Marshaun Coprich. “It doesn’t matter what team you watch them play on film. They’re extremely fast and physical,” Dameron said. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field. Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu.
Men’s soccer team’s season coming to close By Maher Kawash Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team is preparing for their final game of the season as they will take on conference-foe Omaha at 10 a.m. Saturday at Lakeside Field. The Panthers come in with a record of 3-13 on the season, and hold a conference record of 1-4. “We just need to get a win to end the season on a high note,” sophomore goalkeeper Mike Novotny said. Eastern will take on an Omaha squad that is 8-5-3 overall and 2-21 in conference. The Panthers are currently on a three-game losing streak, and coming off a 2-0 loss to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. “This season has showed us that we can compete with some of the top teams in the nation, but it’s just a matter of finishing or chances throughout these tough games,” Novotny said. Omaha is coming off a 1-0 loss to a nationally ranked Rutgers team. Eastern is currently sitting at the bottom of the Summit League standings, while Omaha is in fourth place. The Panthers may have the upper hand with their final game being played on their home field, ac-
cording to Novotny. “Playing on our home field will give us an advantage because not many teams are used to playing on grass like ours,” Novotny said. Senior midfielder Nick Smith said that what they have learned this year will benefit them in their futures. “We have learned what it takes to be successful at the collegiate level from a mental, physical and emotional perspective,” Smith said. “This lifestyle and development of strong character will transcend into our professional careers beyond soccer.” It is also Senior Day for the Panthers, and each senior will be honored before the game for what they have done for the program. “It’s sad to see the season come to a close, but we are proud of what we have accomplished on and off the field,” Smith said. For Smith, this will be the final soccer game of his career as he will head to medical school after this school year. “My experiences as a studentathlete will transcend into my interactions in the medical field as well as a professional,” Smith said. “I am forever grateful for my time here as a student-athlete.” For others on the team, there is a sense of motivation heading into the final game of the year.
MACKENZIE FREUND | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Freshman forward Trevor Kerns tries to steal the ball back from Northern's Nicolas Wandl during the game against Northern Illinois on Sept. 29 at Lakeside Field. The Panthers will take on Omaha at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Lakeside Field.
“It’s sad that the season is coming to a close, and we are losing our seniors, but we still have one more game to prove to ourselves how good we can be together,” Novotny said. “Hopefully we can get a
good result on Saturday.” Regardless of the outcome, there seems to be plenty of optimism that this program is headed into the right direction, Smith said. “The program is certainly head-
ed into the right direction, and the younger players are eager to continue this momentum,” Smith said. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.

Culinary-inspired movie cooks up sub-par release Review by Rose Sacco Verge Designer | @DEN_Verge Being a self-proclaimed “foodie," as well as a lover of anything that has to do with Bradley Cooper, I knew seeing his latest box office release was imperative. “Burnt” is the story of a young A m e r i c a n c h e f n a m e d Ad a m Jones, who is played by Cooper. Jones once had a promising career as a widely known chef in the restaurant world, but his overuse of drugs quickly ended that. After getting clean, he is offered a job in London by his former maitre d’, Tony, played by Daniel Bruhl. To n y i s v e r y re l u c t a n t b e cause he knows of Jones’ past, but decides to give Jones a second chance as the head chef of Tony’s restaurant. Jones is determined to keep his drug-fueled demons at bay and return on top, this time hoping to earn the restaurant three Michelin stars. Michelin stars come from the
oldest European hotel and reference guide. Select establishments are awarded stars for excellence. Three stars, according to the guide, would mean the restaurant has “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey” (“Une des meilleures tables, vaut le voyage”). So, Jones works with Helene, played by Sienna Miller, and Michel, played by Omar Sy, to put his plan into action. I absolutely loved that Cooper and Miller worked together again. Seeing how perfectly they seemed to fit together in “American Sniper,” I was not the least bit shocked to see their excellent acting performance together in “Burnt.” “Burnt” gave a great inside look as to how fast chefs move while under the scrutiny of their guests. Their impeccable timing and art of perfecting every last bite of their prepared meal was heavily shown throughout the film. Most of the “heavy stuff ” came from Cooper who threw tantrums
and raged on in the kitchen, similar to chef Gordon Ramsay, who ironically has earned his restaurants 14 Michelin stars. If there is one thing this movie has taught me, it is that controlling your demons is hard, but focusing that energy into something positive and creative will greatly turn your life around. The film hit a slight lull when Jones tries to woo Helene. Don’t get me wrong; their romance is cute and the acting is amazing, but Jones’ pickup lines are just so…cheesy (pun intended). I will be on the lookout for the remake where chef Ramsay replaces Cooper and the rest of the actors are scared out of their minds. Maybe then this comedy-drama will add more spice (pun intended, again) to it. I give “Burnt” three out of five stars. Rose Sacco can be reached at 581-2812 or rcsacco@eiu.edu.

Student pianist's tunes lead him spiritually By Kalyn Hayslett Verge Editor | @DEN_Verge A quiet place with a piano secluded from others is where Mike Rosenbaum, a senior history major, feels most at home on campus. From kindergarten until now, Rosenbaum has played the piano in school performances, in his church at home and with his family, but playing during personal prayer time is his favorite. Eve n w i t h n o o n e a ro u n d , Rosenbaum understands that he has an audience of one. “I play for my own enjoyment, but if I play Christian music it definitely glorifies God,” Rosenbaum said. The stresses of school take a toll on a student’s physical, emotional and intellectual health, but Rosenbaum uses the piano to help him relax and reflect. “We’re in college. We all deal with stress, so it's therapeutic,” Rosenbaum said. “So if I have a small window then I will go to Doudna practice rooms and play until I have to go.” Playing helps Rosenbaum not think about any assignments, meetings or obligations. Instead he lets the lyrics of the songs flood his heart, especially in "Help Me Find It,” by Sidewalk Prophets. "The lyrics to the songs I play are good reminders,” Rosenbaum said. "The Sidewalk Prophets’ verses tells us to be patient and He will do what He has to do.” Rosenbaum was raised in a Methodist church, so he is familiar with Jesus Christ and his presence, but being so young, Rosenbaum did not really value it. Rosenbaum said maturity and his piano helped solidify his relationship with Jesus Christ. “When I was younger I didn’t take it seriously, but when I trans-
ferred to Eastern it gave me that opportunity, because Lord knows I needed it,” Rosenbaum said. The numerous songs Rosenbaum learned and played “10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman stands out the most. "Throughout the years I’ve never forgotten because I definitely have an emotional attachment to that song. When I started taking my faith seriously that was the song that always reminds me of it," Rosenbaum said. David Emrick, a sophomore pre-nursing major, said Rosenbaum’s relationship with God has helped highlight his already kind personality. “Getting close with God has built the characteristics he already had and made them stronger,” Emrick said. Friends for a year, Emrick describes Rosenbaum's character as kind, respectful and courteous. “That’s just who Mike is, raised great, always kind to people and always willing to do for others,” Emrick said. Rosenbaum was a part of Christian Campus House for about one year but now is a member of the Newman Catholic Center. “He is actively involved in the Newman center,” Emrick said. “He volunteers occasionally, tutors and every week the pastor gets a group and they eat pizza and talk.” Even though Rosenbaum did not grow up in a Catholic church, he was open to learn about a different religion. “It’s important all Christians try to understand each other if we are going to get along,” Rosenbaum said. “It’s all about furthering the kingdom of God.” Gr ow i n g u p a r o u n d m u s i c helped Rosenbaum develop his own love for it. “Both my parents are musicians. My mom plays the flute

and piano, my dad plays the violin and viola and my younger brother plays the piano, so I did not have much of a choice,” Rosenbaum said. Music has not only built his spiritual walk but also helped strengthen his relationship with his mother. His mother's ability to play the piano gives them another avenue where they can relate to each other and another way to communicate with each other. “When my parents divorced, we moved to Illinois and my mom became my private piano instruc-
tor and she is way better than I am,” Rosenbaum said. In being his piano instructor, his choir director and his mother, she has served as three influential roles in his life. Besides gospel, Rosenbaum enjoys playing pop and country music and uses the learning method of sight-reading for each song. “When I heard it before and if I like the song it's easy because the chords fall together and I can site play the melody,” Rosenbaum said. However, even mastering a method is still a skill that has to
be practiced constantly and even with years of experience there will always be areas to improve. At the age of two or 52, a person can learn how to play the piano. “Just because you don’t get it the first time doesn’t mean you are in capable of it because all instruments take time,” Rosenbaum said. “There is nothing really stopping you. Just start simple and work your way up.” Kalyn Hayslett can be reached at 581-2812 or kehayslett@eiu.edu.
Jackson Avenue Coffee to feature teen musicians By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Jackson Avenue Coffee has a weekend full of music planned from new and returning artists, including the band BreakAway at 7 p.m. Saturday. Dano Reible, owner of Jackson Avenue Coffee, asked BreakAway to play. This is not their first time playing at the coffee house. “They did a great job,” Reible said. He f o u n d o u t a b o u t t h e m from seeing the band at other locations and events, such as last year’s Celebration. Celebration is an annual spring festival that has musical performances and local art. BreakAway is from Central Illinois and consists of four members between 15 and 17 years old. They perform original songs
as well as covers of '80s, classic and southern rock songs. According to their website, “their repertoire includes songs by Bon Jovi, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC / D C , Gu ns N’ Roses, Bob Seger, The Beatles, Bryan Adams and many more.” Their four members include Will Sharp on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Hunter Laughhunn on lead guitar, Spencer Sharp on drums, and Jacob Murphy on bass guitar. They were the winners of the Eastern’s Homecoming Battle of the Bands as well as the Champaign Park District Battle of the Bands in 2013. The last time BreakAway performed, they got a great crowd, Reible said. “They’re very talented,” he said. The last time BreakAway was at Jackson Avenue Coffee, some of the audience members were

surprised at the young age of the band members. “They handled the job just fine, played as well as most other people,” Reible said. Reible said it was great to support younger artists. “That’s what we’re here for,” Reible said. A couple of weeks ago, some
high school students performed in the coffee house. They also have open mic nights every Thursday, where a lot of first-time performers are able to show their stuff. “We get all kinds of performers,” Reible said. “We’ll have a full night of performances.” Reible said they get people
who play the blues, bluegrass and more. “All kinds of stuff,” Reible said. All different kinds of musicians from all levels perform at the open mic nights. Reible said there are a lot of different musicians performing at Jackson Avenue Coffee. “We have all types of music. We get all kinds,” Reible said. “It’s a great variety.” Friday night they will feature an artist named Kenna Mae, who has not performed at Jackson Avenue Coffee before. According to Mae’s website, Mae will be performing 7 p.m. Friday. According to Mae’s website, her debut record “Blue Darlin’” was released in October.

Local band The Moondogs play at Top of the Roc for Rock Out Against Rape in January.
Second Rock Out Against Rape concert to commence By Kalyn Hayslett Verge Editor | @DEN_Verge Sexual Assault Counseling Information Center (SACIS) will host their 2nd Rock Out Against Rape (ROAR) concert from 7- 11 p.m. Friday in Mother's Bar with four performances from local bands and musicians. The musicians include The Trio: JB Faires, Jay Ferguson and Paul Johnston, Rev. Robert, Uncle Albert and The Conspiracy Theorists and The Moondogs. Rev. Robert and The Moondogs performed during last year’s ROAR event and there will be a wider range of genres with the other performers. Erin Walters, director of SACIS, said each band brings their own flavor to the event which she is looking forward to, but the Moondogs is SACIS’s house band. “We have a nice variety of music this year,” Erin Walters said. “There is something for everyone.” Attendees will hear roots, country, rock, blues, jazz and reggae music as well as everything from solo performances to eight-piece band harmonies. Joseph Mclean, foreign languages office manager and The Moondogs band member, said the four male members of The Moondogs will do a separate blues set, as well as close the evening with the women members in the band.
“The men in the group are doing a separate set just to keep up with the women’s community involvement,” Mclean said. Mclean and Abby Haughee both took SACIS training and are strong advocates for sexual assault awareness. Haughee, former member of the SACIS board of directors, worked with Walters to bring the concert into fruition. “Abby and Joseph really put the thought in motion. Moondogs has been such a support to SACIS that we just can’t thank them enough,” Walters said, “ They have provided a level of support that can’t be matched.” Accompanying the performances will be a silent auction with donations from artists and a 50/50 raffle with prizes. “We would like to overtly and outwardly show our support to the survivors, educate people that no matter the circumstance it is never the vicitm's fault and fundraising because our agency is suffering as a result of the budget impasse at the state level,” Walter said. Rallying community members, students and faculty to support this event can help sexual assault victims combat feeling alone, uncared for and ashamed from possibly being blamed. Before SACIS was notified about the budget deficit, the organization was already preparing for the concert, but this
fundraising could not have come at better time, Mclean said. “I received great news for Erin stating that they won’t have to close the business for five more weeks,” said Mclean. “If that is great news we have to do better than that.” SACIS has relied on Illinois’ financial support, but with the condition of the state’s budget SACIS will not be able to remain open, and as of now are expecting only months of business operation. “We are truly grateful for every dollar that comes in and equally grateful for the support that is felt by the survivors that we work with regardless of the monetary amount,” Walters said. “We understand not everyone can make a financial contribution, but their support is equally important.” With the community's support, this event will not only raise funds but also raise awareness and support. “It will be a success if the community shows up and shows out how they feel about SACIS and realizes SACIS’s importance, because it’s a community service,” Mclean said. Attendees must be 21 or older.
