Teach-in to educate people on state economy By Cassie Buchman Associate News Editor | @cjbuchman People who want to know more about Illinois’ financial situation and what they can do about it can go to a teach-in from 10:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Tuesday in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Math professor Charles Delman said people really need to be educated about what is really going on. Delman said the purpose of the teach-in is not to tell people what is right and wrong but to share information and ideas. “You’re welcome to question it; you should question it, it’s a discussion,” Delman said. “But we need to talk to each other to come to a solution.” This includes the budget impasse and budget deficit Illinois currently has. “(These problems) didn’t happen overnight. It wasn’t inevitable,” Delman said. “It could have been prevented; policies could have been different.” History professor Debra Reid said the teachin is a way to gather in an informal setting with experts to teach those who want to learn more about different perspectives. She said though people can teach themselves about these things, they often just end up looking at things that reaffirm their positions. “Maybe people who are of a different political persuasion will learn information (at the TeachIn) and think ‘Hey, this is a problem, we need funding,’” Reid said. “We can pressure with real information and real facts to help people’s opinions change.” Reid said it would be nice to lessen the divide between political parties because then they would communicate in ways to solve problems. “This is a huge problem,” Reid said. “It’s not just that we don’t have money.” Delman said the reason behind the teach-in was to educate people on what has led to these financial problems and to reach some conclusions on what to do to make Illinois better. “Illinois is in a really deep hole, and it’s going to be really hard to get out of this, and this hole was created over many years,” Delman said. “I’m not saying there are easy solutions, but the simplistic explanations are simply not true.” The teach-in will start at 10 a.m. with journalism professor Bryan Murley presenting a session on “Social Media: Basics and Beyond.” Murley will teach those at the session how to use Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter for community organizing. “Those are modern methods of quick communication that help to mobilize people to give them ideas or spread ideas, so we want to use those effectively,” Delman said. Reid said if people are more familiar with the technology, people will be more likely to use it. Delman said this workshop will be hands on and teach people who to use their knowledge to create change but the teach-in itself will be to help people learn more. TEACH-IN, page 6

Senate to hear admissions report, nominations for executive board By Shirmeen Ahmad Staff Reporter | @DEN_News The Faculty Senate will hear a report from the Admissions Office to get an update on the number of potential students enrolling in the fall semester at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Room 4440 of Booth Library. They will also have nominations for executive positions. Jeffrey Stowell, the vice-chair of the Faculty Senate, said the senate gets an update from admissions once or twice a year. “We had admissions come to an earlier meeting but we didn’t feel like we gave them an adequate time,” Stowell said. “We’re particularly interested in the success of our recruiting efforts for fall enrollment given the current climate of higher education in Illinois.”
"We’re particularly interested in the success of our recruiting efforts for fall enrollment given the current climate of higher education in Illinois.”

Kara Hadley-Shakya, the interim director of admissions, said the office has seen some difficulty as a result of the current budget impasse, but they are staying positive and continuing their efforts by looking at where they are at and in what ways they can improve. Hadley-Shakya said they are a little closer to knowing how Eastern is doing in terms of its enrollment numbers for the fall, but calculations and plans are already in place for the following spring semester.
The Admissions Office is currently increasing their communication plan and focusing on juniors and seniors, giving them additional marketing materials as well as getting more people to come for overnight stays on campus, HadleyShakya said. Hadley-Shakya said there are also plans to have two new college search kickoff events in Naperville and Orland Park.

City Council to vote on annual budget By Lynnsey Veach Staff Reporter | @DEN_News There will be a public hearing on Charleston’s proposed annual budget at 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, before the routine City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. Charleston Mayor Brandon Combs said the proposed budget was created by the city manager and comptroller. He said there are no notable changes in this annual budget, which will start May 1, 2016 and end April 30, 2017. The council will vote to increase the charges for ambulance services from the Charleston Fire Department. This would increase charges for residents living in city limits, non-residents and residents who live outside of city limits. The base rate for full-time Eastern students and residents within city limits would be
$424.91 for Basic Life Support, $803.93 for Advanced Life Support, and $803.93 for Advanced Life Support II. For non-residents, the charge would be $607.02 for Basic Life Support, $955.33 for Advanced Life Support and $1,148.47 for Advance Life Support II. The council will vote on the purchase of a cot power-load system for fire department personnel that will be purchased for $22,767 or less. According to the agenda, if approved, the council will waive bidding purchases to provide the most compatible system for reducing potential injuries. The council will be authorizing a street closure on the Courthouse Square for the Farmer’s Market starting June 1 and continuing every Wednesday after until October 26 if approved. The Charleston Tourism Advisory Board has
recommended that the council cover expenses relating to 2015 brochure printing costs by the Lincoln Log Cabin. If approved, the council will give $1,000 to Lincoln Log Cabin for said expenses. The council will pay $2,000 to cover expenses for the Charleston Chill’s Invitational and Summer Slam, if this is approved Tuesday. If approved Tuesday, the council will also pay $2,238 for Eastern’s kinesiology department’s expenses relating to the Illinois High School Association Girl’s State Badminton Championship. The council will also vote on the approval of tourism funds for the Charleston Transitional Facility, CIL-Con, a paranormal, horror, anime and gaming convention, and the Coles County Memorial Airport.

By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News Students can stop by Coleman Hall and pick up condoms as members of EIU FEM distribute over one thousand of them to the campus. EIU FEM will be giving out the form of birth control from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday outside of Coleman. The organization brainstormed the idea of giving out condoms to campus as a way to promote safe sex at a meeting. Dana Gilbertsen, the president of EIU FEM, said condoms were the easiest method to spread the word about practicing safe sex. She said condoms are the most cost efficient form of contraceptives, so they were able to buy them in bulk and give them out for free. “In this situation, there is no excuse to not have safe sex,” Gilbertsen said. “We are literally giving you what you need in order to have safe sex and that is, I think, reason enough.” Because EIU FEM usually discusses topics on sexual assault, domestic violence and consent, Gilbertsen said they wanted to flip the script and offer an opportunity for people on campus to have a sex positive event, where they can gain access to a contraceptive and talk about safe sex. Maya Lee, the secretary of EIU FEM, said the Health Education Resource Center usually does a similar thing through the Rubber Lovers program but people are required to pay for the condoms they get. “Not everyone can pay a fee, and you still deserve to have access to pro-

EIU FEM will be handing out 1,000 free condoms from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday in front of Coleman Hall Tuesday.
“We're helping the student body prevent the spread of STDs and even unwanted pregnancies.” -Maya Lee, secretary of EIU FEM tection even if you aren’t financially capable of providing it,” Lee said. Lee said the organization also felt that going and sitting in a lecture might deter people from going to Rubber Lovers. “Having access to protection is very important. By handing out free condoms, we may be giving protection to people who aren’t capable of getting it themselves,” Lee said. “We’re helping the student body pre-
vent the spread of STDs and even unwanted pregnancies.” During the distribution of condoms, the organization will also give out handouts about safe sex that will be Gender and Sexual Minorities inclusive. They will also discuss the importance of consent when it comes to sexual activity. “Consent and GSM inclusion are very important because they are areas
that are often overlooked when discussing this topic,” Lee said. “That’s why our (organization) wants to draw attention to them. We will be spreading awareness on the campus.” This is the first time EIU FEM has done a program like this, Lee said. She said they are looking to send out a positive message about how vital consensual and safe sex is. She said the event was designed for the people of campus, and she hopes people are enthusiastic and receptive. T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutler@eiu.edu.
Groups plan carnival to celebrate end of year By Jeff Coy Staff Reporter | @DEN_News The Residence Hall Association and National Residence Hall Honorary are hosting the annual Campus Carnival from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Campus Pavilion. This event is free for all students. The carnival will have karaoke, inflatables, cotton candy, giant Jenga, a bag toss, a station where people can tie-dye shirts and Bingo. Students will compete in Bingo for multiple prizes.
Jacob Gulso, vice president of community engagement for the RHA, said participating students can play multiple rounds of Bingo for prizes varying in value. There will even be a grand prize for the overall winner. Students must fill out a waiver to play on any of the inflatables. The location of the carnival will change to McAfee Gym if the weather is not suitable for outdoor activities Wednesday. “We have had spring events in the
past that have been quite unsuccessful, but this year we’re really trying to promote just an entertaining environment,” Neiv Hans said. Hans said she feels it is important to get the Eastern community together to celebrate the end of the school year. The carnival is also to spread awareness about both organizations to promote more campus involvement. Hans serves as the RHA vice president of administration and finance. She helped plan for the carnival by applying for multiple grants to fund
the event. Both the RHA and the NRHH used their own money for the carnival as well. Both Gulso and Hans are expecting around 200 people to show up. They hope more students spread the word about the carnival. Hans said planning the event was a great way for RHA to intergrade more with NRHH. Jeff Coy can be reached at 581-2812 or jrcoy@eiu.edu.

3 Zumbafest to bring awareness, raise funds
TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2016
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS
By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News People of the campus and community can get up and move at this year’s 4th annual Zumbafest for the Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service. The communication studies department and the students of Communication of Gender and the Body will host the Latin-inspired music and dancing. The festivities are set to begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Tickets are available to the public, and they are $10 for general admission and $5 for students. All proceeds will go to SACIS directly. SACIS has not been reimbursed since June of last year because of the budget impasse throughout Illinois. Jeannie Ludlow, the coordinator of the women’s studies program, has worked closely with SACIS and said the fundraiser is important for the campus because the same group of people who are causing SACIS’s problems are causing problems for Eastern. “When we work to raise money and support SACIS we’re showing that they can’t keep our community down,” Ludlow said. “We’re all in this together, and we are going to fight back.” SACIS always gives out information about the services that may stand out to sexual assault victims and survivors, Ludlow said. She said along with reaching out to the family members of those who have experienced sexual assault, the event will bring awareness to the campus be-

cause they are able to find out more about SACIS through programs like Zumbafest. Erin Walters, the executive director of SACIS, said the night will be a fun way to get out and support the agency. “In this time, when we don’t have a budget at the state, we need funds now more than ever,” Walters said. Walters said Zumba has quite a
following. She said people love to dance and exercise, and the event has been successful in the past. “We encourage everybody to bring their bottle of water and come on out and get ready to get a little sweaty,” Walters said. SACIS has a lot of support that radiates from Eastern’s campus, Walters said. She said in their time of need,
countless members of the university have stepped up and tried to help SACIS. “It says a lot to see the people piling in to dance the night away and that will say a lot to the survivors we serve,” Walters said. “It’s important to be aware and to support the survivors at our event and this is one way to do that.”
Dr. T.M. Linda Scholz and her class were able to plan out the night of dancing. Walters said Scholz has been a strong supporter of SACIS and took charge with coordinating the event. T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutlereiu@edu.

Check your facts before sharing News is everywhere these days. People can access information anywhere at anytime. They can learn what is happening and when it’s happening. In the 21st century, we have an influx of information never before seen in previous generations. Even though this is the case, people still walk around ignorant of facts, choosing instead to stay in their own little bubble. Although the Internet allows people to gain information, in many cases they only choose to stay in a bubble, looking up socalled “facts” that support and reaffirm their own positions on issues. If you see something on Facebook or Twitter that you disagree with or challenges dearly held beliefs, you can click away. If a friend or someone you’re following posts an opinion you don’t like, you can unfriend them. It has never been easier to get information, but on the flipside, it has also never been easier to ignore information one doesn’t care for. This is why people are seemingly more ignorant in the Internet age; they don’t seek out information that will help them grow as a person. They seek out whatever facts, pictures or statistics that will make them seem the most right. One of the biggest problems with this is the fact that a lot of the things posted online to prove a point end up being misleading at best and downright, completely wrong at worst. Many times, these simple pictures and quotes are not used in context, and just because there are words on someone’s picture does not mean they necessarily said them. It is very easy to just copy and paste text on a picture. I don’t know if people post these things because they believe they are correct and didn’t bother taking the 10 seconds it takes to Google and fact check what they are sharing, or if they don’t care that they’re wrong and just want to prove a point by any means possible. To these people I ask, is an opinion really worth having if you have to lie to make it seem credible? Either way, it makes you look like an idiot to share false information on social media, especially given the fact that it is easy to verify simple facts on various search engines. There is no penalty for spreading false information online. The Internet police won’t arrest you. They won’t give you a ticket. In fact, I don’t even think they exist. But your friends and family will judge you, and you will be compromising your online image and your basic integrity. And that, I think, is enough to think twice about what you post, or at the very least check your facts first. Cassie Buchman is a sophomore journalism major.

KELLY FLETCHER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Raise in tuition could be necessary
As the 2016 fiscal year nears its end on June 30, many people have probably noticed that this year was a bit different from other years. What was so different though? A trip to Ilbudgetclock.com can provide the answer, and it shows that Illinois has now gone through nine months and 13 days without a budget. And it seems incredibly likely that the fiscal year will end without a state budget in place. The Council on University Planning and Budget heard proposals to increase tuition for incoming students, and it also announced that no further adjustments in terms of layoffs, furloughs, or salary deferrals will be made until June 30. According to Monday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News, the article titled, “CUPB hears proposed increase in tuition rate,” said the rise in tuition rate proposed was 1.5 percent. This would raise the price by $4 per credit hour for resident undergraduate students and by $5 for non-resident undergraduate students. Eastern’s online financial aid guide lists the current price for resident undergrad students and for bordering students at $285 per credit hour, and $356 for undergrad non-resident students
for the 2015-16 academic year. As Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan continue their rivalry with neither budging on their stances nor showing signs of a resolution, the state and higher education continues to take hits. While a tuition increase is not ideal, it could very well be necessary in order to allow the university to continue operating the following school year. President David Glassman said in The News’ article that if tuition were to increase, it would be in the range of 1 to 2 percent total. The small rise in tuition will put Eastern at third in lowest tuition for the state. Eastern is also not the only school proposing increasing in tuition because of the lack of state appropriations. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is raising tuition by 9 percent; Southern Illinois University Carbondale is raising it by 3 percent; and some community colleges are looking at a 10- to 12-percent increase in tuition. As the General Assembly continues to do whatever it is they do these days, higher education is forced to continue making adjustments
wherever possible in order to continue operating for the upcoming school year. Higher education cannot wait to find out if there will be budget for the 2017 fiscal year. Schools need to plan now in case there is a similar situation, and schools are taking the necessary steps to be safe, including Eastern. Layoffs, furloughs and salary deferrals are not things that people want to happen but they are things currently helping Eastern stay open, and a raised tuition rate will also help Eastern. The proposed raise is not much different than the tuition now, and it still puts Eastern at one of the lowest spots for tuition in the state. Other schools are proposing larger increases due to the lack of appropriations from the state. Higher education is not in a spot it wants to be, but universities continue to make adjustments that are best for the schools. Until the General Assembly, Gov. Rauner and House Speaker Madigan figure out a budget, which is hopefully sooner than later, Illinois and its school will continue to struggle. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
It’s important to learn from experiences I learned another a tough life lesson this past weekend. Recently, I wrote an article for The Daily Eastern News about the “Big Gay Panel” last Thursday night. In the article, I mistakenly used the word “lifestyle” to refer to LGBT identities. Initially, I was totally unaware that using that word would be offensive to the LGBT community. I truly apologize to people in the LGBT community and others who were uncomfortable when reading my article. I’m planning on doing a Safe Zone training to ensure this won’t happen again. When it was brought to my attention, my heart was pounding. I felt like I forgot what my morals were when it came to respecting others and myself. This is not the first time things like this have been addressed to me, and I put them to an end. I learned that using the word “lifestyle” in regards to the LGBT community implies that sexual orientation is a choice, and a person can change or can be changed. However, someone’s sexuality is not a choice. It is their identity. I understand that LGBT rights is another civil rights issue that’s trending today. People in the LGBT community want accep-
Janet Pernell tance like everyone else. People in the LGBT community are human beings like me and you. Everyone is different, which makes each and every one themselves. I thought being an ally would consist of respecting people of the LGBT community just like everyone else, giving them acceptance, using the appropriate pronoun, giving the respect that you would give anyone else, and attending Pride every year in Chicago. But there is more to it than that. You must know how to approach and speak on situations without hurting others.
Because I grew up in a conservative Christian family on my mother’s side, I was not too comfortable with discussing the LGBT community. My dad’s side wasn’t familiar with the community, but they were more open to people in the LGBT community and still respected them. If I asked, I wouldn’t get answers about the community other than “please pray for them,” and “please don’t you turn gay.” As I grew up, I started to just ignore that and try to learn by life and observe, and I still have a long way to go. Everyone is different and people have different preferences about what you call them that need to be accommodated to ensure respect, trust and comfort. Yes, I was getting emails left and right about my article, but that was fine. I’m glad I received emails about that because I would still think the word “lifestyle” would be appropriate to use when it is not. I will continue to write for The News and even hope to promote to another position within my college career someday to educate other aspiring journalists.

Professor to present on child sexual abuse By Abbey Whittington Entertainment Editor | @anwhittington96 Lisa Moyer, a professor in family and consumer sciences, will be presenting research on child sexual abuse from 11 a.m. to noon Tuesday in the Charleston-Mattoon Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Moyer said she has been researching the issue of child sexual abuse for 11 years, giving presentations on the problem and updating the information of her lecture on the topic over time. The presentation will be over what teachers, parents and friends
can do if they find out a child has been sexually assaulted along with the definition and prevalence of sexual assault. “Oftentimes, people do not really know how to respond when someone tells them they are a survivor or if a child discloses sexual abuse,” Moyer said. Moyer will be informing participants on the patterns an abuser would go through before assaulting a child and how people can catch these signs to prevent the assault. She said many times an abuser will select a child who seems isolated or is having problems with their family members and then develop a
relationship with the child based on these things. “Abusers tend to target those that seem like they will not tell, so then they form a non-sexual relationship and use behaviors like hugging or other innocent things and then escalate to a sexual touch, oftentimes right in front of other people,” Moyer said. Moyer said if no one catches these signs before it is too late and their mom and dad have not said anything about the abuse, the message to the child is that the relationship between themselves and the abuser has been there all along, so they think what has happened or is hap-

pening is OK. The presentation will also teach parents how to talk to their child about the areas other adults should not be touching them in, which is also called the “secret touch.” Moyer said she will discuss what people can do if they think they have been sexually abused. This will include resources for adults who are survivors because they were not able to tell someone when it happened to them as a child. As a survivor of sexual abuse, Moyer said it is important for her to spread awareness about sexual assault.
She has participated in the Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service’s fundraisers and social media campaigns and created an informational video on sexual child abuse to raise awareness. “I think this will spread awareness about sexual child abuse. People do not really like to talk (about sexual abuse) and they really do not want to suspect or worry that their child has been abused,” Moyer said. “It will give them some action to take if they suspect anything so they will know what to do.” Abbey Whittington can be reached at 581-2812 or anwhittington@eiu.edu.

“In general, the community needs to learn more about how this has come about,” Delman said. “There’s a lot of soundbites and propaganda on both sides, and I think we need to get past that and understand some of the facts, some of the real-life comparisons.” According to a press release, attendees should bring their smartphones and other tablets with the

Baseball team tries to end drought against Illinois By Maher Kawash Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern baseball team is in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, and searching for an end to that with a midweek matchup against Illinois. The Panthers are coming off a three-game series sweep at the hands of Southeast Missouri State, and hold a 5-30 record this season. Eastern tries to end the losing streak with this single-game matchup against Illinois Tuesday in Mattoon. The game will be held at Peterson Park and is the second game of a home-and-home series set for the two teams this season. Illinois has not met many expectations this weekend, but the Fighting Illini are coming in on a win streak. The Illini are riding a four-game winning streak after defeating Illinois State in a single-game matchup followed by a three-game sweep over Saint Louis. The four-game winning streak has pushed Illinois over .500 on the season with a 17-16 record coming into Tuesday’s game against the Panthers. While the Illini have begun to turn their season around, Eastern is trying to string together wins as the end of the season nears. The Panthers will send junior
Chase Thurston to the mound in an attempt to limit Illinois’ offense. Thurston is 0-3 in 14 appearances this season with an 8.89 ERA in 26.1 innings pitched. In his last appearance, Thurston allowed one run on five hits, three walks and six strikeouts in 3.1 innings. The Panthers’ offense will be responsible for backing Thurston on the mound against the Illini. Eastern has relied on the offensive success of some younger guys on the team and is hoping that continues for the remainder of the season. Sophomores Cale Hennemann and Joseph Duncan have been the catalysts of the offense so far this season, and their batting averages prove that. Hennemann continues to lead the team’s starters with his .326 batting average, and Duncan follows with .305 average out of the leadoff spot in the lineup. Hennemann’s most recent success at the plate came against the Redhawks as he hit .417 by going 5-for-12 in the weekend series. Two of those hits were doubles and he also added three RBIs for the Panthers. Hennemann did not stop there as he led the team in the series with a .462 on-base percentage as he earned his 17th walk of the sea-

son. Duncan proved to be a leader in the series as well as he hit 6-for-15 against the Redhawks with a .400 batting average. Duncan finished the weekend series with four extra-base hits while driving in five runs and scoring three runs. The Panthers will need those two to continue to succeed at the
plate if they hope to top the Illini. The last matchup between these two teams resulted in a 9-7 win for Illinois, and it came after Eastern’s late inning comeback fell short. While the Panthers try to even up the season series, there is also another single-game matchup in store Wednesday. Eastern will have a quick turnaround after they take on the Illini,
and it will be a home game against Illinois College Wednesday. Following those two midweek games the Panthers will stay home for a three-game conference series against Belmont this weekend. First pitch of Tuesday’s game against Illinois is at 6 p.m. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
Women’s golf team finishes 1st round of tournament By Adam Shay Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Panthers placed ninth out of 10 teams today after the first round of the OVC women’s championship, scoring a total of 337. Junior Chloe Wong led the Panthers with shooting a low 78, tying her for 14th with several other golfers. Wong has become more consistent with keeping her round total under the 80 mark. Sophomore Anne Bahr scored an 84, tying her for 39th overall. This has been her highest round score since the SIU Saluki invite where she shot an 85 and 87. Coming in at 44th, junior Madison
Burgett shot an 87, followed by sophomore Hannah Magda placing 45th shooting an 88. Junior Alexandra Pickens golfed only six holes Monday before she had to withdraw due to health conditions. “I’ve been sick for the past week.” Pickens said. “I thought it was getting better but I couldn’t keep my energy levels up.” Pickens said she started off the round playing fairly well, however by the last couple of holes, she was struggling to stand over the ball. She will be able to participate the next two days. Her scores will not count toward her individual placement in the tournament but her next two round scores
still count in other ways. “I will be able to use my scores for the team placement,” Pickens said. With a low score of 78, Wong said what worked for her was keeping the ball on the fairway most of the round. However, Wong knows what she needs to do to obtain lower scores. “I need to minimize my mistakes, too, so I can go lower the next few days,” Wong said. She said her goal is to capitalize on her fairway shots so she can score more birdies. The Panthers increased their score by 19 points from their lowest round score last weekend at the Indiana State Spring invite of 318. Wong says the team needs to forget
about today and stay positive for the next two rounds. She added that the greens were probably the difficult part of the course. “Everyone on the team hits the ball really well and has the ability to shoot a low score,” Wong said. “It’s just a matter of grinding it out and making putts.” Pickens shows optimism about the next couple rounds of golf. “We just have to try to not make the same mistakes as the previous day,” Pickens said. “That’s what is best about our team. We know how to come back.” This is only the second time all season the Panthers have participated in a
54-hole tournament. Earlier this fall, the Panthers went to the Loyola-Chicago Fall Tourney and shot a combined 1018 over the three rounds, finishing last out of ten teams. Senior Anna Gleixner of Eastern Kentucky led the round with a low score of 68, shooting a four under par, followed by her freshman teammate Amanda Lindahl who tied for 2nd with a 71. At the end of round one, Eastern Kentucky leads with a team total of 293. The OVC Championship will continue through Wednesday. Adam Shay can be reached at 581-2812 acshay@eiu.edu.

Sophomore Trent Reiman defeated Belmont’s Adam Rudowski 6-2, 6-4 in singles play on April 1 at the Darling Courts. Reiman defeated Morehead State’s Enrique Samudio 6-2, 6-4 in singles play on Saturday in Morehead, Ky.
Men’s tennis team finishes season with split By Tyler McCluskey Staff Reporter| @DEN_Sports The men’s tennis team finished their season on a high note, winning 4-3 over Morehead State ending their six-match losing streak. The night before, the Panthers fell to Eastern Kentucky, 6-1. The Panthers finished their season with a record of 4-15 and an Ohio Valley Conference record of 2-7. The Panthers started off their match with Morehead State (6-11) strong with the doubles point win. Sophomores Grant and Trent Reiman defeated Ognjen Sunjevaric and Nick Mercer, 6-0. Senior Ryan Henderson and sophomore Jared Woodson beat Enrique Samudio and Garrett Mandrell, 6-4. Seniors Robert Skolik and Rui Silva went unfinished against Gabriel Ruiz and Ritchie Kruunenberg. After losing six matches this sea-
son by the score of 4-3, coach Sam Kercheval said that it was only fitting to get a 4-3 win in the final match of the year. “I’m extremely proud of my guys for fighting all the way through the year. They never stopped working hard and trying to get better even after a lot of close losses,” Kercheval said. “So to get the win on the final match is just proof that they kept going all the way through the season.” Leading the way for the Panthers in singles play was Henderson. Henderson’s match went down to the final set and ended up pulling away the victory and the Panther win. Henderson defeated Ruiz 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. “It was tied 3-3 coming down to Ryan’s match so he was definitely the decider. He got down 1-2 in the third set but managed to take the next two games to regain the lead,” Kercheval said. “Ryan played such a smart game
to get it to hold and stretch the lead to 4-2.” Kercheval said he knew Henderson would win his match because of the way he played. “He is too smart a player to have let it slip at that point. It was a great moment for him to go out as a senior,” Kercheval said. Grant Reiman took away a victory, beating Samudio 6-2, 6-4. Freshman Ognjen Jevtic defeated Mandrell 6-2, 6-2. Skolik lost 7-5, 6-4 to Kruunenberg. Trent Reiman lost to Sunjevaric 6-1, 6-0. Silva lost 6-2, 6-3 to Mercer. For the match against Eastern Kentucky, the Panthers only had one singles win, which came from Skolik. Skolik defeated Ramon van Flymen 7-5, 6-2 at the No. 1 spot. “Rob did what he had all year and beat a tough player by being steady and sticking to his game,” Kercheval
said. Jevtic took his match to three sets against Florian Graskamp but fell 6-4, 4-6, 1-0 (17-15). “(Jevtic) actually had match points in that match but he spent the entire third set match breaker cramping which made things tough,” Kercheval said. “He did well to fight but we came up short.” Henderson lost 6-2, 6-0 to Alex Alvaro. Grant Reiman lost 6-4, 6-3 to Guillem Sanchis. Silva was defeated by Sebastian Mueller 7-5, 6-4. Trent Reiman lost to Diogo Soares 6-4, 6-1. For doubles, the Reiman brothers went unfinished. Skolik and Silva lost 6-2 against Alvasro and Mueller. Jevtic and Henderson lost 6-2 to Diego Asis and Sanchis. “We played pretty well actually in doubles but got beat by better doubles teams, simple as that,” Kercheval said. Despite how the year went, Kerche-
val, in his first year as head coach, said that he is proud of the guys on the team. “They worked hard to improve going through a lot in previous years. New coach, new system, for the seniors they had three coaches in four years,” Kercheval said. “There is a lot to adjust to and figure out, but everyone did well to take steps toward building this program.” Kercheval said this year the team took great strides to improve the program from last season, even with the same record. “I can’t thank my players enough, especially Ryan (Henderson), Rui (Silva), and Rob (Skolik).” Kercheval said. “Those three are great tennis players and even better people that are going on to great things.” Tyler McCluskey can be reached at 581-2812 or at trmccluskey@eiu.edu.
Men’s golf team finishes 7th at Beu/Mussatto invite By Jack Arkus Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The two-day Beu/Mussatto invite concluded Saturday afternoon, as the Eastern men’s golf team managed to finish in seventh place down at Western Illinois’ home golf course. Harry Mussatto Golf Club provided the venue for the 12 participating schools and has been hosting the annual tournament the past 44 years. As a team, the Panthers finished their regular season campaign on a strong note. This past weekend was the best finish the Panthers have had at any tournament for the spring. The private school William Woods
University from Fulton, Mo., took home the tournament title this year with all five of their members finishing in the top 20 spots. Junior David Houlding finished tied for fourth place overall with a weekend total score of 219. Host school Western Illinois finished in second place out of the 12 teams competing for the tournament. Andrew Blackburn was the Leathernecks’ top finisher. He shot three rounds of 70, 72 and 75 while finishing in third place in the individual standings. The Panthers brought five players to compete Friday through Saturday. Alvaro Hernandez, Charlie Adare,
Kevin Altenberger, Will Drerup and Alex Gowin were the Panther representatives. The freshman duo of Adare and Hernandez were the Panthers’ front men on day two of action. Alvaro finished tied for eighth place when his last round concluded Saturday. He shot three scores of 73, 76 and 72 giving him a weekend total of 221. Adare shot a 71 on Saturday and finished tied for 16th place in the standings. His tournament-ending score of 71 was the lowest round shot for Eastern during this year’s invite. Panther Freshman Altenberger shot a 75 in his last round on Saturday.
He ended the tournament with a final score of 244 and was the Panther’s fourth best golfer. The Panthers’ third best golfer was sophomore Gowin. He finished his three rounds with a total of 247 and shot his best round early Friday with a score of 79. Senior Drerup made his spring debut this past weekend and ended up tying for 59th in the individual standings. Indian Hills Community College had a third-place finish in the team standings. Their very own Jackson Bugdalski finished in the number one spot for the overall individual standings. Bug-
dalski had three exceptional scores of 75, 67 and 72. Overall, the Panthers managed to finish their regular season with impressive numbers. Eastern has had to pick a handful of players from their eight-man roster to represent the Panthers at every tournament this spring. The five who attended this past weekend may give Eastern their best chance in the season finale next week. Eastern will play again April 25-27 at the Ohio Valley Conference Championship in Muscle Shoals, Ala. Jack Arkus can be reached at 581-2812 or jtarkus@eiu.edu.
