Puppy power Faculty Senate talks profit-loss, reserves By Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News The Faculty Senate discussed concerns with how Eastern is approaching some trouble areas, such as the profit-loss sheets and it assigned members to committees. Blair Lord, Eastern’s provost and the vice president for academic affairs, said there are essentially no reserves left. “I have used the description that we are sort of like a big building with pillars holding up the roof and we spent all of this summer and much of last year knocking one pillar out at a time,” Lord said. “The roof is being held up with the volume of the air inside.” Profit-loss sheets look at the cost efficiency of different programs on campus. Senate chair Jemmie Robertson told faculty senate members that he met with Eastern President David Glassman last Friday. In their meeting, he told Glassman he wanted more transparency involving the profit-loss documents. Robertson said Glassman is aware of the concerns and plans to be transparent with the profit-loss documents, and the departments themselves will be able to review the information once the sheets are released. Robertson said he sees the profit-loss sheets as a conflict between Eastern’s mission, the goals of the university and what the profit-loss sheets could say about the department it discusses. “Our core mission is not to generate profit,” Robertson said. Robertson said some departments are inherently more expensive than others. He used his own department, music, as an example. He said the music department hires professors who are knowledgeable in certain sections, and some hold one-on-one teaching sessions with students to track progress. Glassman also said he plans on instituting working groups that will be made up of faculty, staff and students to get Eastern growing again. Robertson then moved on to talk about the athletic budget. Glassman said the athletic department was close to, if not on, budget this year. Robertson said it will be difficult for athletics to stay on budget this year when keeping to their schedule because of the drop in enrollment. Amy Rosenstein, a senator, brought up a point about trust and said back when former Eastern President Bill Perry was in office he asked the Council on University Planning and Budgeting to look into possible budget changes. Rosenstein said it was stressful work,

President to address university goals Staff Report | @DEN_News Eastern President David Glassman will give his State of the University Address, where he will outline his plans for the university’s future and recovery. This speech is set for 2:20 p.m. Wednesday in the Dvorak Concert Hall. In a media advisory, it was written that the president has indicated that he will not address questions following his talk. Glassman will detail steps the administration plans to take for the next four years, strategies to enhance Eastern’s brand, and his focus on getting a full budget from Springfield. This includes continuing to visit the state
capitol, meeting with lawmakers and investing in marketing the university through social media, billboards, radio and other forms of media. Glassman said he wants to recognize the many strengths and weaknesses of the university. All those who are interested are invited to attend, and according to a post on the university newsletter, Glassman encourages supervisors to let staff members leave their offices to watch the address.

National PanHellenic Council hosts step-dancing event to promote fraternities and sororities By Janet Pernell Multicultural Reporter | @DEN_News St u d e n t s c a n s e e s t o m p i n g , strolling and clapping at the Meet the Greeks Step Show 5:30 p.m. Friday in front of the Doudna steps. In case of rain, the show is scheduled to be in the McAfee Gym. Meet the Greeks is an annual step show that takes place at Eastern every year around recruitment time for other sorority and fraternity councils. The show is put together by the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which serves mainly African Americans. The NPHC has a different way of recruiting members compared to Eastern’s other Greek organizations, the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils. When the IFC and Panhellenic recruit, fraternities and sororities plan a day-by-day process for prospective members, who then visit different houses run by the differ-
ent organizations. Meet the Greeks, for NPHC organizations, is a way for them to introduce themselves, especially to new students. The students can then learn more about each of the fraternities and sororities. The NPHC organizations also put together what they call “probates.” Probates are held toward the end of each semester to show off each organization’s new members. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will be at the show presenting the different ways they stroll and step. Aaliyah Stephen, the second vice president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, said the organization has been practicing for Meet the Greeks to make sure the crowd will get a good show. Delta Sigma Theta practices daily from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. in order to prepare for Meet the Greeks. Stephen said by performing their chants and steps, the sorority can show what they are all about. Tylen Elliott, the public relations chair for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, said they hold daily practices until the day of the show. Elliott said Alpha Phi Alpha is currently coming up with new routines and songs to perform. Jordan Dadez, the associate resi-

dent director for housing in Greek Court, said she expects a high attendance rate for Meet the Greeks. She also said a lot of the freshmen who come to Eastern are interested in joining an NPHC organization. “I think this an important event, not just for Greek life but also the community to show that we have different facets of Greek life (and) that there are diverse organizations,” Dadez said. “So if you feel like you may not belong to those certain councils such as IFC and Panhellenic, there is another home for you.”
Dadez said she would consider Meet the Greeks to be an educational and spirit-filled event for students and students can learn what makes an NPHC council different from other councils. “A l o t o f p e o p l e d o n’t know much about NPHC organization(s); they don’t know what they’re about so they can see them stepping and strolling and that’s cool,” Dadez said. “It’s just really fun to see them all step and stroll.” Janet Pernell can be reached at 581-2812 or at jopernell@eiu.edu.
After 10 years, business added to city limits By Kalyn Hayslett Editor-in-Chief | @DEN_News
The Charleston City Council approved Owen Motor Sports Inc. to become a property within Charleston city limits. City planner Steve Pamperin said as a whole, the annexation process is lengthy because he had to validate the petition, finalize the maps and communicate with both parties. “It takes a lot of coordination with the city and time with the property owner,” Pamperin said. C h a r l e s t o n Ma y o r Br a n d o n Combs said approximately 50,000 hours of labor and materials went into constructing the business about 10 years ago. Although the initial process of the
annexation started before Combs took office, he wanted to complete it as soon as possible. “I know when I came on board, we met with Owen and we got it handled,” Combs said. Owen Motor Sports Inc. is an already established business located on 11660 Old State Rd. However, the business did not receive the benefits of being a part of city limits before. Now both the business and the city will benefit, council member Jim Dunn said. The Charleston Fire Department and the Police Department will provide protection for the business by answering any calls if there are thefts, vandalism or fires, while the business will start paying property taxes, which will help increase the
city’s overall revenue. Extending the city limits to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center has increased tax revenue and the amount of city businesses, board member Jim Dunn said. “We are glad to have the annexation; anything to improve (Charleston’s) tax base is a great thing,” he said. The permanent utility easement was approved for the Owen Motor Sports property, which grants Charleston officials the right to fix any structural issues. The council agreed to reject the use of funds for the milling and resurfacing of various local streets due to budget cuts. Combs said there is a projected shortage of $50,000 from the Mo-
tor Fuel Tax funds from the state that made the council reconsider its spending. Also approved was the recognition of Sept. 17 through Sept. 23 as Constitution Week. Raffle licenses were approved for The Court Appointed Special Advocates of East Central Illinois, The Trojan Booster Club and The Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce. The council also approved the use of traded construction equipment. The next city council meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. in city hall, located on 520 Jackson Ave. on Sept. 20.

Center for the Humanities presents ‘Invisible Matter’ By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News This year, with the help of donations from Phi Beta Kappa and other contributors, the Center for the Humanities will present their 26th annual fall lecture 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15 in the Doudna Lecture Hall. The installment in the series is “The Invisible Matter,” which will be led by Mansa Bilal Mark King, a sociology professor at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He will discuss his thoughts and studies on the marginalization of Africana Muslims in liberal arts education. Su z i e Pa r k , E n g l i s h p r o f e s sor and president of the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association of East Central Illinois, and C.C. Wharram, English professor and
"People should expect a highly informative and provocative exploration of topics that we wouldn’t necessarily think of together, like hiphop and Islamic culture.” Suzie Park, English professor
director of the Center for the Hum a n i t i e s , w o rk e d o n b r i n g i n g King to Eastern back in the spring and have now been able to procure the proper funding for the lecture. It was originally supposed to be held on Sept. 8, but due to financial complications, it was moved to Sept. 15. “People should expect a highly informative and provocative exploration of topics that we wouldn’t necessarily think of t o g e t h e r, l i k e h i p - h o p a n d Is-
lamic culture,” Park said. The Center for the Humanities, partnering with Phi Beta Kap pa Honor Society, aims to bring in lectures and events that focus on current events and issues. Last year they brought in a speaker who discussed the representation of people with disabilities in entertainment and in 2014 they brought in someone to discuss the Ebola outbreak. Park said King is also leading a study abroad course that fol-
lows the migration of Islamic culture all over the world, starting in Senegal and ending in New York City. During the lecture, King will be explaining that course, talking about his personal experiences as a practicing Muslim himself and detailing the Africana Muslim contribution to liberal arts, both historical and contemporary. “I do really hope people see the entire wealth of knowledge of the Africana Muslim culture that we don’t know or don’t have a lot of access to,” Wharram said. T h e p h i l o s o p h y o f Ph i Be t a Kappa is “ The love of learning is the guide of life.” It is the nation’s oldest academic honors society and was established in 1776. According to Park, Phi Beta Kappa believes in free inquiry and are known defenders of the liberal arts
and sciences. This is why the honor society and The Center for the Humanities presents informational lectures at Eastern every year. Pa rk o r i g i n a l l y m e t K i n g i n Colorado at the Phi Beta Kappa Triennial Council, which only meets ever y three years. There, Park believed that King would be a captivating and exciting speaker and wanted to bring him to Eastern. “ He i s v e r y f u n a n d p e o p l e should expect him to stimulate the mind and be exciting,” Park said. “He is seriously a kick-ass speaker.” Angelica Cataldo can be reached at 581-2812 or amcataldo@eiu. edu.

The Rarest of all Sedges
Joe Tucci
Keep your money out of the hands of greedy artists With faster broadband speeds and larger audiences, streaming has been taking the musical world by storm. Bands and artists alike are outraged at their lack of compensation. If you use Spotify or Apple Music, or if you share music with your friends, you do not have to feel bad (not that you would have ever had to feel bad in the first place). In the early days of Napster, bands like Metallica worked to make you feel bad for not giving them your $10 for a compact disc. Now huge icons like Taylor Swift are just as upset about streaming her music through Spotify. So in this dilemma of artist and listener, who is correct? To truly decide what side of the fence you are on, you first need to ask yourself what music means to you. Understanding how you view the creation of and consumption of music is, and should be, different for every listener. Music can be political in that it aims to make statements or commentaries on issues in government or society. With this in mind, certain artists may wish to garner large audiences that seek to advocate for change. So to gain a wide audience, the correct method may be to charge listeners a fee that allows the artist to continue to develop their ideas and distribute them to their listeners. Music can also be about introspection and reflection of the self. While music can be outwardly trying to portray any given message, it just as easily can also be reflective of an artist’s thoughts or feelings. If an artist is, for example, releasing bits of depression or despair through music, then to create the music may already be enough and not warrant any sort of compensation other than the listener’s attention. Yet with any given intention there can easily be an opposition. Politically-fueled songs can ask nothing in return other than your thought on a matter and willingness to be open-minded. And deeply personal music by an artist can also warrant some sort of monetary compensation to reward them for their hard work. At the end of the day, though, you the music listener need to ask yourself how you are going about listenership. Supporting a band or artist can vary depending on what you classify as support. If you make an effort to see a band live every time they are near you, share their music with friends, buy t-shirts from the band directly or even make your own shirt for yourself, you are doing your part as a supporter of music. Showing support for an artist should not be exclusively financial. Just like artists can express themselves through music, you can express your support through various different forms. If your favorite artist is someone as widely popular as Taylor Swift or Metallica, chances are they probably have enough money already. Joe Tucci is a senior English major.

Mascots can do wonders for image, spirit Three unnamed students were recently selected to split the duties associated with wearing the Billy the Panther mascot suit. The News, first and foremost, would like to congratulate those students. Being a mascot, contrary to some less-than-stellar images in popular movies and television, is a hard and thankless job that nevertheless adds exponentially to any school event. Too often, we overlook the contributions that sports and their related performances (be it dance, cheerleading, marching band or the mascots) give Eastern. There is a certain element unique to pub-
lic university athletic events that has charmed millions of Americans and will continue to enchant us. Our athletes and the performers who work to support them draw in new students and interested families. We may not gain as many students as larger universities in this manner, but the influence is still present. Furthermore, in our present enrollment situation, we cannot afford to overlook any attractive elements that Eastern may offer future students. Even beyond a mascot’s effect on athletic events and recruitment, a mascot helps current students to
identify with the university and to feel proud of it. Seeing a fellow student work hard to emulate a personality and character entirely centered around Eastern’s traditions and features can have a powerful effect on even the most stoic of students. Be sure to support our latest mascot(s) anytime you see them. Interact with them and applaud as loud as you please; they will certainly appreciate your appreciation. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Conference will not save Trump’s campaign Donald Trump held a press conference on Aug. 31, 2016 with the current leader of Mexico, President Enrique Nieto. The president made strong remarks regarding the intensity of the debate and the active American democratic election traditions. Nieto mentioned his belief to be strongly open to debate in order to achieve better control of the border and conduct the best possible procedures to protect the border and achieve a progressive future. President Nieto noted that he had written letters in order to express his message with the current American presidential nominees. Mexico and the United States have a relationship that is important not just to our economy, but to Mexico’s as well. Nieto mentioned that they hold stronger commerce with the U.S than Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan and the European Union. Also according to Nieto, Mexico has not pursued major business deals with countries, since the U.S. is a crucial partner for Mexico. The current goal of the meeting was to discuss the importance of the relationship with the U.S. There was discussion of the wall that Trump has mentioned, but no discussion of Mexico paying for the wall. Nieto has mentioned that he does not plan on paying for it and made sure to note this to Trump in person. He also made a clear Twitter statement on the matter. Trump and Nieto did have a respectful discussion about stances on the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico. It shocked me that Trump was actually able to have a clean, policy-directed conference. Nieto noted at the end of his speech that he

Juan Nevarez hopes Trump will support Mexico with good intent, as well. Trump went on to mention his nebulous policy for a relationship between the U.S. and Mexico but did not expand on his plans. Trump also noted respect for Mexican-American citizens, which was a surprise to me. Additionally, he mentioned that the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico is not supportive of the U.S. but has had a positive, prosperous influence on Mexico. Trump’s primary focus was on the safety of U.S. citizens and Mexican Citizens and on ending the illegal cartels in Mexico through cooperative operations between the two countries. All of the points mentioned and discussed, I have to admit, mark a huge difference from Trump’s previous statements. It was a surprising discussion where there were no insults to Mexico, which resulted in great civil discourse, something I was not expecting from Trump.
Associate News Editor Abbey Whittington

Nieto did go on to mention that this was not negotiation, but had also stated to CNN affiliate Televisa in an interview this past Wednesday that Trump’s positions “are a threat to Mexico.” Nieto had also mentioned that the people of Mexico are “very insulted,” but who wouldn’t be? He stressed his responsibility to the people of Mexico and said that Trump would need to show more responsibility for his statements. Trump must have left his “Celebrity Apprentice” personality at home, and brought his “presidential nominee for the Republican Party” personality with him. If only all his debates were run with this amount of professionalism, he might actually be doing well in the polls. However, Trump did not gain any political ground during his trip to Mexico, since he discussed no real plans to change the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. beyond how crucial it is for each other to protect their own citizens. I agree with the protection stance 100 percent, but it is also very important to keep our current relationship with Mexico. We are dependent on Mexican migrant workers, and the U.S. has businesses running in Mexico that provide back to our country. The two are virtually codependent, relying each on the other’s strong economic support. It benefits both countries to continue this relationship, which is what Trump might consider.

but when the results came out they were not used. “It is important that whatever we are being asked to do, whatever the results are that we have some trust there,” Rosenstein said. Other members brought up concerns about the allotment of resources on campus. At the meeting, Robertson was told that Glassman was made aware that as resources continue to decrease, productivity expectations remain stable, and this puts pressure on the professors to produce. Lord said a search for the new associate vice president for enrollment is now going on. There are eight candidates who just went through phone interviews and are now going through reference checks for this position. The search for a new vice president for academic affairs to replace Lord, who will retire this year, will start as soon as Glassman talks to the Board of Trustees. The tenth-day enrollment numbers will be released on the thirteenth day, this Thursday. The numbers are being released late so university officials can double-check and finalize the enrollment numbers, Lord said. Glassman will talk more about enrollment during his State of the University Address. Samuel Nusbaum can be reached at 581-2812 or scnusbaum@eiu.edu.

Miami starts season with blowout loss Panthers traveling to face Redhawks By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Miami (Ohio) Redhawks started their season no different than the Panthers. The Redhawks opened their season against a Big Ten opponent Iowa and were blown out, 45-21. Considering the caliber of the No. 16 Iowa Hawkeyes, a 24-point loss by the Football Bowl Subdivision is not the end of the world. The Hawkeyes came out of the gates hot and scored 21 points on Miami, giving them a comfortable lead after just one quarter. But with the help of a big passing game turned in by Redhawks’ quarterback Billy Bahl kept them in the game. Miami’s defense allowed points in all four quarters though. Sophomore Bahl was 19-29 with 266 passing yards in the game against Iowa with two touchdown passes. Bahl found receiver James Gardner for both scores. The Redhawks’ offense actually had more yards on offense than the Hawkeyes. Miami put up 424 yards of total offense, and Iowa put up 404 yards. The problem for the Redhawks in the game was not their inability to move the ball, but it was their defense in stopping the run-game Iowa brought to the table. Iowa’s quarterback C.J. Beathard threw just one touchdown pass in the 45 points the offense put up. Iowa utilized three running backs in the game, each scoring at least one touchdown. Akrum Wadley was the team’s main back in the game, scoring two touchdowns on 12 attempts and rushing for 121 yards. His longest run of the game was 38 yards.

The Hawkeyes’ Leshun Daniels had 12 attempts and also scored two touchdowns in the game rushing for 83 yards, with his longest rush being 43 yards. Miami’s run game also used three running backs, but the Redhawks were not able to put the ball into the end zone the way the Hawkeyes did. Alonzo Smith handled most of the rushes, getting 13 attempts and rushing for 58 yards and one touchdown. Maurice Thomas and Kenny Young also got some rushes in the game, giving the Redhawks 158 yards on the ground. That run game also struggled to hang on to the ball, fumbling three times and allowing the Hawkeyes to take complete advantage of those turnovers. Twenty-one of the 45 points came off of Miami turnovers.

Ben Odugbesan and Joe Caputo attempts to pin Western deep in their own territory early on in the 2nd quarter Thursday at O’Brien Field. Eastern lost to Western, 38-21.
Miami’s offense overall stuck around with Iowa, and playing against other teams in the FBS may be enough to get them a win, but against a Big Ten opponent like Iowa, it clearly was not enough. When it came to defending the pass, Miami stepped up for the most part limiting Beathard to 192 yards passing. Eastern’s run game was not used as much in its opening game against Western Thursday, getting just seven attempts and rushing for 102 yards. The big portion of the Panthers’ offense came by way of the arm of red-shirt junior quarterback Mitch Kimble. Kimble threw for 323 yards in the game, completing 18 of 29 passes and throwing two touchdowns. The Panthers also utilized red-shirt junior
quarterback Austin Green on one drive. Green moved the Panthers up the field, completing four of his five passes and throwing for 43 yards on the drive that ended in a missed field goal. It may be a different look for Miami with Eastern if they remain pass-heavy in their game this Saturday. Miami was unable to stop Iowa’s run game, so red-shirt senior Devin Church and red-shirt junior Korliss Marshall could get a few more carries. Both teams will be in search of their first win of the season as the Panthers will have just one more game after Miami before conference play starts.

Grugier-Hill waived by Patriots, signs with Eagles By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports With just a week before the start of the regular NFL season, it seemed like the New England Patriots would have two former Panthers on their roster in 2016-17, but when the deadline for NFL teams to get their rosters to 53 rolled around, that possibility was eliminated. Kamu Grugier-Hill was waived by the Patriots to get them down to the 53-man roster the league required, meaning any team in the NFL could pick him up and sign them to their team if they wish. If Grugier-Hill cleared waivers, the Patriots could have signed him to the practice squad. Grugier-Hill was most likely not going to see much playing time at linebacker in his rookie season with the Patriots, but special teams was seeming like it was a good possi-

bility for him. But now, Grugier-Hill is going to head
He is listed third on the Eagles depth chart, but after the uncertainty in New England, the Hawaii native is on the Eagles 53-man roster. Grugier-Hill recorded five tackles in a preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. It will still be a couple of days, maybe even Sunday, until we find out what the former Eastern linebacker’s role on the team will be. He may get some playing time on defense, but he is sitting at the third string spot for right now. Special teams could be an option, too. Even though Grugier-Hill’s rookie season will not be with the Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo is still there and is still going to be the starting quarterback for the first four games of the season.

Volleyball team wins against Western Eastern earns 2nd-straight win By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports
CELINE CROW | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Senior Tyler Yunk runs the final stretch of the EIU Walt Crawford Open. Yunk was the top Eastern men’s finisher. Eastern won the men’s and women’s team titles.
Panthers outrun competition By Alex Hartman Cross Country Reporter | @DEN_Sports The season opener for the Eastern Cross Country team at the EIU Walt Crawford Open last Friday was a resounding success with both the men’s and women’s teams winning team titles with total scores of 33 and 17 respectively. The second and third place teams for the men’s side were Southern Illinois Edwardsville, with 43 points, and Southern Illinois Carbondale, with 55 points. For the women’s side, the second and third place were Southern Illinois Edwardsville, with 48 points, and Southern Illinois Carbondale, with 76 points. Eastern won the women’s title with a first-place finish by junior Maria Baldwin with a time of 17:48.92, which is a school course record; followed by the second-, fourth- and fifth-place finishers also from Eastern. Eastern senior Ruth Garippo finished second with a time of 18:07.60; Megan Krolak, running unattached, finished third with 18:08.88; and Eastern senior Ivy Handley finished fourth with a time of 18:09.19. Eastern senior Rachel Garippo finished in fifth with a time of 18:23.43. Handley, Ruth and Rachel Garippo all set personal records with their times on Friday. The Panthers ran with a pack mentality on Friday, and that is exactly what Baldwin aims for when they race, she said. “Ruth, Rachel, Ivy and I are our top four; we work in a pack and play off eachother’s strengths to win a race,” she said. Another point of the race was that conditions were perfect for the Panthers compared to the 90-degree heat index of previous years, Baldwin said. “The weather affected us posi-
tively, as a team it gave us confidence and with this fast course, it made it easier on us,” she said. On the men’s side, the Panthers managed to edge out a win without their star senior runner Riley McInerney, absent due to illness, but he said he will be ready for the upcoming meet at Illinois State on Friday. The top runner was Josh Maier of Southern Illinois Carbondale with a time of 24:56.59, followed by Southern Illinois Edwardsville’s Keith Meyer with a time of 25:09.82. Eastern men’s top finishers were senior Tyler Yunk, who finished third overall with time of 25:32.33; junior Chris Orlow was fifth, setting his lifetime best; senior Paxson Menard finished seventh and senior Greg Rogers finished eighth. Yunk said he had a positive outlook on the race for the season and is confident they can only get better from here. “Running without Riley created a different plan, but it was something we had to overcome,” he said. “It was a good starting point for the season, and I know what I need to improve upon for the rest of the year.” Now the team is preparing to compete and fight for a high spot at larger meets. “It set the tone right for the rest of the season,” coach Erin Howarth said. “As a team, they put the ‘we’ before the ‘me’ during the race. That helped them come away with the team win.” Looking ahead to the next race, the Panthers can expect to see a different team with McInerney returning and two additional freshmen running on the men’s side. Alex Hartman can be reached at 581-2812 or aihartman@eiu.edu.
Baldwin a key asset By Kaitlin Cordes Cross Country Reporter | @DEN_Sports Junior Maria Baldwin has not only proven herself throughout her years at Eastern on the cross-country course, but she has solidified herself as a key asset to the team, and it showed in her performance at the season opener. Baldwin placed first overall in the women’s five-kilometer race last Friday at the Panthers’ season and home opener, the EIU Wa l t C r a w f o r d Open. She covered the Panther Trail in just 17 minutes and 48.92 seconds. Baldwin Baldwin’s performance set a new school record, which she shattered by seven seconds, and she was a mere four seconds off of her personal career best time. Such feats do not occur without physical and mental preparation, however. Baldwin has been training for this meet and for the 2016 season throughout the summer. Cross-country coach Erin Howarth said Baldwin spent the summer months sweating and training in the weight room and on the course. Howarth described Baldwin as someone who is always prepared to compete. “Maria is one of those people who is always ready to rave,” Howarth said. “She loves race day and even loves workouts.” For the season opener, Baldwin said she mentally prepared herself for the most difficult parts of the course by envisioning herself feeling strong throughout the race instead of tired at the toughest areas. This year, Baldwin is a co-captain with some of her senior teammates.
Howarth said she put Baldwin in this position because she is a natural leader. “She is a leader by example,” Howarth said. “If you just watch her, you think to yourself ‘wow, I want to race like her.’” Howarth said Baldwin embodies the team slogan “we before me” well. Baldwin said much of her focus for Friday’s race was on team performance, not just her own.She and seniors Ivy Handley, Ruth Garippo and Rachel Garippo combine for a solid top four for the Panthers, said Baldwin. Baldwin said that individually, the foursome are strong at different points in the race and as a pack, they play off those strengths. Baldwin said she had confidence going into this meet, not only in herself, but also in her teammates. “I had no concerns going into this meet,” Baldwin said. “I knew that our top four was solid and that if we worked together, great things would happen. We still have work to do, but we are at a great place right now.” Baldwin said her strategy going into the meet was just pacing the course with her team and finishing within seconds of each other. Eastern snatched the overall race victory over seven other schools, earning 17 points, with the Panthers finishing in four of the top five positions. Baldwin was also named the Ohio Valley Conference Female Cross Country Runner of the Week after her victory last week. Her first season performance of the year was the top 5K time in the OVC this season by 20 seconds. Howarth summed Baldwin up with just one word. “When I think of Maria, I think fierce,” Howarth said.

In a battle of six-loss teams, the Eastern volleyball team found the consistency it has been searching for against Western Tuesday night. A back-and-forth first set saw the Panthers fall just short, 22-25, but they responded in convincing fashion. Eastern found itself in the remaining sets and hit on that consistency as the team won three straight sets to earn its second win of the season. The Panthers took advantage of a winless Leatherneck squad and handed them their 7th loss of the season. Eastern’s 2-6 record shows there is work to be done, but on a team with no seniors, there is excitement in back-to-back victories for the first time this season. Part of the Panthers’ success has been dependent on the play of sophomore Taylor Smith. While the team continues to grow and succeed as a whole, Smith has only elevated her play. Smith wrapped up the match with another triple-double on the season, as she served the Leathernecks with 11 kills, 15 assists and 19 digs. As far as this victory goes though, the whole team enjoyed plenty of success. Junior Maria Brown continues to hit her stride as well, after being named to the All-Tournament team over the weekend. Brown wrapped up the match against Western with 10 kills and 14 digs and was joined by red-shirt junior Josie Winner, who finished the night with eight kills and 15 digs. Eastern is also seeing solid production from some younger players on the team, and that was especially the case Tuesday night. Freshman Lyndsey Powers stepped in and posted 16 digs on the night, and red-shirt freshman Gina Furlin provided a boost with 20 assists. Freshman Maggie Runge continued to string it together on defense, as she finished with eight blocks. Before the match, Eastern coach Sam Wolinski stressed consistency to her team, and it appeared that her team gave her just that. The Panthers will search for more of the same after this midweek matchup, and they will now return home for the week. Eastern is set to host its annual EIU Panther Classic this weekend and is welcoming Bowling Green, Louisiana Tech and Drake into Lantz Arena. The three-match classic will take place Friday and Saturday. Butler handed Eastern its first home loss of the season last week, but things may be different this time around. The Panthers have strung together back-to-back wins for the first time this season and appear to be settling in on the young season. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
