Spanish club, students create ‘alfombras’ By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter @DEN_news After an entire summer of planning and prepping, Eastern’s Spanish Club organized the making of an alfombra, or carpet, for their Latino Heritage Month project at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the hallway of the art wing in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Club president Kasey Adams came up with the idea for the project after her second trip to Guatemala for a spring break study abroad program. While Adams was in Guatemala, she roomed with fellow club member, Hollie Austin, during the family homestay. “I loved (the experience),” Austin said. “When we got there, the family we were staying with had one set up for us to help them with. We stayed up ‘til 4 in the morning. It was a lot of fun, though.” An alfombra is a carpet often made in Central America for “Semana Santa,” or “Holy Week.” It is made from things like sawdust, flower petals, grass blades and other natural materials. When made with sawdust, the dust is collected and dyed, then left to dry for a few days. After the sawdust is dry enough, it is then spread in layers over a canvas or street with a screened sifter and placed into patterns. After weeks and months of preparation, entire neighborhoods and streets work together to create large alfombra designs. The process can take hours and even days to finish. The carpets are then put on display on streets for a

parade to walk through during the celebration of Holy Week, which is in the spring. The Spanish Club’s display is made of dyed sawdust donated from Adams’ local Home Depot.
Other club members, including Vice President Brianne Ed, Treasurer Erin Murphy, Public Relations Representative Audrey Rex and Secretary Rachel Washburn, helped Adams and Austin.
“It’s super exciting, but I’m definitely not an artist,” Washburn said. “It’s something we don’t do here, and it’s interesting learning Latin culture and the process of assembly.” The Spanish Club finished dy-
ing the sawdust Monday, and let the dust dry for Wednesday. They started 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and hoped to be finished with

Visual culture presentation addresses power of images By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman The power of images and how they have affected African-American politics was the topic of the latest presentation at the Booth Library Wednesday. The presentation was made by political science professor Kevin Anderson, and was a part of the exhibit, “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights.” “African-American politics, without question, is American politics,” Anderson said. “Debates on questions of freedom, of equality, what constitutes justice, all of these arguments, all of these ideas are central ideas (that are) a part of American political thought.” The images African-Americans used to fight for their equality showed the cruelty and inequality they faced in the U.S., while others showed a sense of independence and “pushback” against these oppressions, Anderson said. To illustrate these images, Ander-
son showed historical pictures such as a slave with scars on his back from being beaten and a picture of a white teenager trying to strike a black attorney with the American flag. He also showed a picture of a memorial sculpture made by Robert Gould Shaw that showed AfricanAmerican soldiers fighting in the Civil War and portraits of four young girls who died when four Ku Klux Klan members bombed a church in Birmingham, Ala. Though some think these images were meant to raise awareness of inequality, Anderson said they were also meant to create discussion and debate in the African-American community and push back against a racist institution. “The understanding of cruelty has to embrace the idea that (what is happening) is cruel because this is a fellow human being,” Anderson said. While showing the audience pictures of tragedies and violence, Anderson challenged the audience by asking which pictures defined the era and the country. Powerful Images, page 5

Chicago State University President Thomas Calhoun Jr. will be replaced after nine months, according to an article in the Chicago Tribune. The CSU board of trustees will vote on Calhoun’s “separation agreement” Friday and name an interim president as well according to the meetings agenda. Calhoun took over in January in the early stages of the budget impasse that starved Illinois public universities. Relying heavily on the state for funds, the university declared a financial state of emergency, losing about 40 percent of its employees, the Tribune reports. However, in the Tribune’s article, the decision to “part ways” with Calhoun is an “about-face” from 11 months ago when trustees first hired Calhoun after much praise from the campus community. Robert Bionaz, president of the faculty union, said the board chose a path guaranteed to create continued conflict in the article. “This is a truly dark hour for our university, and Gov. Rauner should immediately replace every member of this current board of trustees,” Bionaz, a history professor, said in the article.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s homeland security adviser said Wednesday that it would be very hard for someone to hack into America’s voting systems in a way that could alter an election outcome. Lisa Monaco, speaking at an event commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the Justice Department’s national security division, said election systems by and large are not hooked up to the Internet and are diffusely operated by state and local governments. The bigger worry, she said, involves efforts to sow “concern or confusion” about the resilience of the system. To help counter that, the federal government is pushing out to states a set of tools, such as the ability to scan for vulnerabilities and quickly patch them, and best practices that they should apply — including encrypting their voter registration data, she said. The comments come amid ongoing concern about the ability by hack-

ers from Russia or other nations to breach voting systems. The FBI last month warned state elections officials to boost their election security in light of evidence that hackers targeted related data systems in at least two states, Illinois and Arizona. A Homeland Security Department official who is very involved in efforts to secure local elections but wasn’t authorized to speak publicly said the department was not looking at designating election systems critical infrastructure now because of how little time there is until the elections. The official said the focus has been on providing information to states on technical assistance the department can provide to secure their systems as well as existing vulnerability reports it sends out. The official said the department was looking at designating election systems as critical infrastructure in the future. Besides hacks of election systems, the federal government is continuing to investigate a hack of the Democrat-
ic National Committee and the subsequent disclosure of internal DNC emails on WikiLeaks. The U.S. hasn’t formally blamed Russia for the hack of Democratic National Committee emails over the summer, but the party has, and the White House has pointed publicly to outside investigators who have determined Russia is to blame. Those investigators have been less clear about whether Russia was also responsible for disseminating those emails through the website WikiLeaks. Determining Russia’s involvement in the public disclosure of the emails is seen as a prerequisite to any sanctions the U.S. might levy on Russia in response to the hack. The Obama administration in the last two and a half years has publicly accused Chinese hackers in breaches of American corporations, North Korea in a punishing hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Iranian hackers in digital breaches of banks and a small dam outside New York City.

Clinton releases letter on health WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton has released a new letter from her doctor declaring her to be "recovering well" from pneumonia and remaining "fit to serve as President of the United States." The Democratic presidential candidate faces increased scrutiny about her health after a video showed her staggering while getting into a van on Sunday. Her campaign later disclosed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. The letter says the illness stemmed from seasonal allergies that developed into an upper respiratory tract infection. Clinton's pneumonia symptoms began around the start of this month, and she saw Bardack on Sept. 2 for a low-grade fever, congestion and fatigue.

Hard to hack voting systems
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Donald Trump was cut off, chastised and then heckled after he attacked rival Hillary Clinton during what was supposed to be a speech on helping where the government had failed the people of Flint, Michigan.
The Republican nominee quickly stopped, then said "Ok, that's good, Then I'm going to go back to Flint" and its water crisis that had sickened its citizens. But the interruption seemed to embolden those in the sparse crowd. One woman shouted that Trump had used discriminatory housing practices in his buildings, causing the celebrity businessman to respond, "Never, you're wrong. Never would." Trump abruptly ended his speech, which had lasted six minutes. More heckling followed him out.
Three shot at senior citizen complex CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A 77-year-old man shot three people Wednesday at a senior citizen apartment complex where he lived, killing one before he killed himself nearby as officers closed in on him, police said. One victim was shot inside the Heritage Court Apartments in Cheyenne, and two were shot outside, said Dan Long, spokesman for the Cheyenne Police Department. Larry Rosenberg fled after the shootings armed with a handgun and
rifle. He killed himself as officers approached him in a neighborhood about a mile away, Long said. No motive was disclosed for the shootings. Long did not identify the victims or provide information about the conditions of the victims who were wounded. Attempts to reach Rosenberg’s family weren’t successful.
Oregon occupiers warn sheriff of 'invasion' PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The occupiers who took over a national wildlife refuge warned an Oregon sheriff that his county would be “invaded” by armed citizens if he didn’t protect his constituents from the federal government, the law officer testified Wednesday. Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward said that before the 41-day standoff, group leader Ammon Bundy and another man urged him to protect two local ranchers who faced additional prison time for setting fires on federal lands. That protest grew into demands for the U.S. government to turn public range over to local control. The trial is expected to last until November.

Student Senate discusses new sales tax By Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News Student Senate discussed the upcoming visit of an official from Hong Kong, feedback about Pantherpalooza and a sales tax that will be on the November ballot. Matt Titus is an Eastern graduate and is part of Citizens for Coles Counties Schools, which is a campaign whose goal is to pass a 1 percent sales tax increase, and this would go towards school infrastructure and paying off school debt.. It is aimed for schools that house kindergarten through 12th grade. He said the 1 percent sales tax will be added onto the current sales tax of 6.75 percent, bringing it up to 7.75 percent. The 1 percent tax would be distributed to the local schools by enrollment be-
tween the Charleston, Mattoon and Oakland schools. Titus said the 1 percent sales tax increase has been brought up twice before, once in 2010 and once in 2014, and it failed both times. He said he wanted to hear about what kind of activities the senate had planned for voter registration. Executive Vice President Maralea Negron said they will have an informational meeting on voting Tuesday, Oct. 4., to follow the meeting the senate had Monday. Negron said this one would focus more on the platforms instead of the history of the parties. She said people will be registered after the informational is done. She also said a poll would be sent out
to the students, but it has to be approved first by the vice president of student affairs. “In the poll, I was thinking you could even include the referendum to see a preliminary how they might vote on that,” Negron said. “Other than that, we really don’t have that much planned besides getting informed.” The president of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, will be coming to Eastern for a lecture 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Paris Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Catie Witt, student body president, said all the major parties have gotten behind him and said this is a rare occurrence. “In a time in our country where we want everyone in our country to be bipar-
tisan, we are not,” Witt said. “So it will be interesting to see (Yok-sing’s) viewpoints and how he got all them to collaborate together and basically agree on one guy which never happens here.” The senate voted and agreed to go to this presentation instead of holding a meeting. Witt said she met with people from the Health Education Resource Center about the It’s On Us Campaign. Ideas they came up with include a video that may involve faculty members. She asked for senators to join the It’s On Us Campaign committee. “We meet about once or twice a month, probably more if there is an event coming up. We mainly just deal with planning those events and meeting with people from the HERC and the sexual as-
sault prevention team,” Witt said. Witt said she has heard people outside of the senate express interest in joining the committee and she urges the senators to spread the word about the available positions. Negron congratulated all the senators who went through sorority recruitment and passed a sheet around for senators to sign up for the voter registration drive. She said the senate will pair up with Alpha Phi Alpha and the Political Science Association. Negron said she reached out to several groups, but these are the two that seem the most interested.

Tests cannot Staff Editorial measure a Plan, do not rush in the pursuit of a degree person, a life
COURTNEY SHEPHERD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Whose bright idea was it to make my 17-year-old self sit for three hours to take a test? Tedious studying and five ACT prep classes later and I still didn’t get a 30 on that monstrous test. Ah, the dreaded ACT, or American College Testing, also known as a crappy time that we all hate to hate, or is it just me? Is it me or does the ACT not tell a story about a student who never missed a day of class? Does it shed light on the student who stayed a couple hours later to get tutored by a peer or a teacher? Or the student w-ho bombed the standardized test, but succeed in college and later down the road? It shows nothing of how an F student could persevere and do better because they are given a chance to. This kind of labeling tests have never been my forte. I am not sure if it is because I am sitting on my hands nervous for hours on end, or because being timed is not a pleasant experience for most. Or maybe is it because of my frequent and profound test anxiety. Whatever the case, I think it is simply, pardon my language, absurdity. In my opinion, just like with your credit score, the ACT turns a person into a number. People do not care about the circumstances of how your credit score plummeted, but just that it is 376. It is human nature to generalize others based off of a certain facet and not look at the humans themselves. The ACT made me a number: 29. Psyche. I wish. It did, however, make every school label me my score, and soon I was no longer a 17-year-old girl, but just that number. To me, really, the increasing trend with my grade point average was great. I started from the bottom as a freshman, and I was there my junior year. I was doing great academically, but not enough to get a full ride at my top pick, or even a third of a tank there. One would think potential and growth would be a category people applaud, but eh, not really. My grades junior and senior year of high school made me feel like I was going somewhere. But the ACT brought me back to freshman year, first semester and that T’Nerra is an entirely different lass. The ACT should be obliterated! Let us all take each edition and throw them to the wolves, only they would not eat that vile waste. Also, there is no heartfelt way to put this. I was not going through some overshadowing breakup or tragedy at the time, but by the time I flipped to the 35-minute science section, I had checked out. I just said no, and it had nothing to do about my competencies, or did I doubt myself. I just hated it. Oh, how I hate the ACT (still); let me think of 36 ways! T’Nerra is a junior journalism major.

The idea of being an Eastern student for more than the average four years can be scary and frightening. According to college.usatoday.com, a four-year degree is becoming increasingly uncommon. “For a non-flagship public university, only 19% of students graduate on time and even at flagship research public universities, the on-time graduation rate is only 36%,” college.usatoday.com said. “Only 50 of the more than 580 public four-year institutions have graduation rates above 50%.” The expectation for majority of students is to earn a bachelor’s degree within the standard four years, but there is no rush when bettering yourself. The Daily Eastern News understands the urgency to leave within four years due to financial pressures and an urgency to start in the desired career field. The purpose of a degree is to have a full understanding of the expected career while mastering the skills needed to be successful in the field.
Do not forsake gaining all of the skills needed because of the urgency to finish college and complete one’s academic career. Employers do not care whether the degree was fulfilled within four or five years as long as the person applying for the position is qualified and can apply those skilled effectively it does not matter. However, there is a shame associated with being a super senior. Students can assume that being a super senior is due to laziness, confusion and foolish decisions. This is unfair portrayal of these students. Our society is fueled on reacting on impulses and immediate gratification due to modern technologies and social media. These inventions have created a fast-paced culture that encourages immediate reactions, decisionmaking and instant changes. Students can become comfortable with taking short-cuts, expect quick results and fast progress in matter of months.
The News can relate to narrowly focusing on the daily grind and accomplishing the daily tasks, but it is just as important to take a step back and plan ahead. Students should use their time to explore classes that pique their interest instead of just solely focusing on courses that will only meet the minimum requirements. The Daily Eastern News encourages students to take their time and use their college career to discover their strengths and talents. Education is about improving your knowledge on a subject and this may include participating in a club, choosing a second major or including a minor. There is no one standard track that will work for everyone, so it is unfair to assume that anyone who does not follow the four-year track is underperforming. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Slut shaming is unfair, unnecessary, rude Slut shaming is the body count of a woman’s sexual partner(s) versus the victorious tallies of a man’s number of lays. Sexuality is a dangerous dance on a double-edged sword for women; they are often asked, sometimes begged, to intimately share themselves and as soon as they do they become the ultimate sinners, scum of the Earth. For anyone in need of more clarification, slut shaming is the difference between receiving a high five rather than being called names or getting ridiculed for having sex. It does not matter if it is one or 20 partners: women are looked at as impure after they have lost the social construct that is virginity.
Abbey Whittington Ridiculing women for having a sexuality that is so desperately begged for in the first place is extremely hypocritical and unnecessary.
Men are not the only ones responsible for this shaming because women are conditioned to be discomforted and guilted by their own sexuality. Either way, it should not matter to anyone except for the ones engaging in coitus. Before going to call someone a slut for expressing promiscuity, ask yourself, “Does someone else’s sex life affect me? Will calling someone a slut benefit me? Who asked for my commentary?” You may find that the answers to these questions are: no, no and no one.

Adult students are intrinsically motivated What assets do adult students bring with them when they return to school? How hard is it for them to be accepted are they only seen as old people by the younger generation, some of whom might be thinking that these adult students are only at school because they are bored and looking for something to fill their time? I say no: they are here to learn just like everyone else, and they bring many wonderful qualities to the classroom. They bring experience to the classroom; they know why they are there. They want something more and realize that higher education is the way to get it. Many employers require higher education and will help pay for college tuition to help their employees get a degree. Adults understand that getting their degree is better than losing their job to someone that may be more qualified; they take advantage of what is offered to them. Adult learners have a team that supports them: family, friends and co-workers. That can mean the difference between making classes stressful or making them easier to get through. Adult learners have another advantage in that they are able to make connections with faculty members or advisors that can help through mentorship. Supporters who believe in the adult learner and help them through dif-
Cindy Huff ficult periods while attending school can make all the difference with the outcome of their education. Older students are the biggest believers in themselves. They know that they have the abilities to get their work done and will do what it takes to reach their goals. They believe that they can accomplish things because they have seen life in general and have overcome many obstacles to get where they are today. They keep their thoughts focused on the reason that they came back to school in the first place: to obtain that precious prize, their degree. Nothing can be more thrilling to an adult learner than walking
up to get their diploma as friends and family look on. Adult students are strong and can speak up for themselves. They fight for what they believe in. Having had many life experiences they can connect their past experience’s with what they are learning today for a better educational experience. They understand that in order to reach their goal they must remain highly motivated. This motivation inspires them to strive for success and reach their goals. They also understand that in order to achieve their goal that they must show up every day for classes, do their assignments and take on extra credit when it is available. Going back to school is not easy. It can be exhausting at times, and it takes sacrifice. Adult students are grateful for the opportunity to go back to school, so they don’t mind the sacrifice for many it has been a lifelong dream. They are strong; they are survivors, fighting for their dreams, and they know what they want and are prepared to go for the gold. Cindy Huff is an aging studies graduate student.

“Which part is definitive? Which one explains us in nauseating, complete, acceptable detail?” Anderson asked. “Is there one picture of you that you want everyone to see? And, by the way, is there a picture of you want no one to see?” Anderson noted that when looking at pictures of public figures, such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., what one sees is not the sum total of who they are as a person. “The power of image is...if they are powerful enough, they provoke action from the other side,” Anderson said. “Good photographs (are) not going to provide answers, but it is going to provoke debate. And if you do that well, you might actually solve a problem or two.” Karron Davis, a sophomore finance major, said the images Anderson showed were a good example of violence people kept trying to overcome. “We’ve been struggling as a country to accept each other and all our colors,” Davis said. “We just need to come together and realize we’re one.” Davis said the monuments Anderson presented stood out to him because they showed a group of people coming together for national equality. Bree Johnson, a junior political science major, said the images Anderson used in his presentation stood out to her, especially as she had never seen some of them before. The picture of the African-American attorney being attacked with the flag impacted her. “How could that be acceptable right there on the street?” Johnson said. “It was very upsetting. Nobody wants to see something like that, especially as an African-American woman today.” Johnson said while in some places racism has gotten better, in others it has not. “It’s a reminder of what we need to do and how much better we need to get,” she said.

6 ISU Redbirds host Panthers following big win THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS
By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports It may not have been by much, but the Illinois State Redbirds found a way to beat Big Ten opponent Northwestern last weekend. It came down to the final play, and the foot of kicker Sean Slattery, who came through as time expired to give the Redbirds a 9-7 win. Slatter y failed to convert an extra point earlier in the game on Illinois State’s first score of the game. Illinois State stayed at 6 points, until he was called on with the game on the line. Slattery almost missed the game winner from 33 yards too. He got the ball to hit the left upright and bounce back and go through for the win. Not only was Illinois State able to take down a Big Ten team, they did it on Northwestern’s own field.

7 Senior leader, mentor feeds off team’s success
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS
By Parker Valentine Women’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports Senior Kamile Stadalninkaite finds herself in a position to be a leader on the women’s tennis team as well as mentor to her younger teammates. “Three full years here gives me a lot of experience. I’ve realized team unity and playing together is very important,” Stadalninkaite said. “I always try to help freshmen assimilate to college.” Stadalninkaite has consistently improved throughout her time as a member of the Eastern tennis team and is expecting a strong 2016-17 season. T h e Na p e r v i l l e No r t h h i g h school graduate has been at Eastern the entirety of her collegiate career. “I love it here,” she said. “This campus provides a very good atmosphere and the faculty and administrators are always willing to help me with anything I need.” Stadalninkaite has played with many different athletes and has seen many of her friends graduate and pursue their respective careers. When it comes to preparing for a match, the health studies major stressed that getting plenty of sleep is essential to being both a productive athlete as well as being a productive student. Eating enough to maintain high energy levels and staying hydrated were both high on her list as well. When it comes to splitting time between the tennis court and classroom, she takes her education just as seriously. “It’s a 50/50 split when it comes to class and practice,” she said. “I always give 100 percent in practice, and class gives me a great time to relax physically and focus mentally on my classwork.” When it comes to getting pumped up before matches, she is very vocal in giving her team support. “She talks to the team a lot before matches to hype them up,” sophomore Srishti Slaria said. Stadalninkaite mentioned the music selection that the team listens to before matches also helps with team chemistry. “The whole team listens to mu-

sic before matches together, a team favorite is Twenty-One Pilots as well as different music on the radio,” she said. Stadalninkaite said she feeds off the success of her teammates. “When we win, we win together,” she said. “My teammates winning amps me up — Panther Pride.” She said she does not have a favorite doubles partner; she enjoys playing with the entire team. She said she enjoys seeing the different strengths different players bring to doubles matches.
She said she does not think the team needs to improve as much; rather just continue to grow as a team, and continue to unify as Panthers. In the case of self-improvement, she stressed the need to stay aggressive as well as stay focused on the court and in pursuing her goals. She is a very strong supporter of Coach Emily Wang and said she likes her positive attitude. “She always gives us words of encouragement, through the good and the bad we always know she is
there for us,” she said. Even at their low points she said that Wang is always there giving encouragement. “Coach Wang is always there as someone we can talk to before matches and whenever we need someone to talk to, no matter the time,” she said. Stadalninkaite said she is excited and looking forward to playing Friday and the rest of the season with her teammates. “Tennis is primarily a singles competition, but we always root for each other and recognize that
we are teammates and friends,” she said. St a d a l n i n k a i t e s a i d t h a t t h e bond the team has is already very strong. “Even with freshmen who we have only known for three weeks, I feel as though I have known these people for quite some time,” she said. “That’s how strong our bond is.” Parker Valentine can be reached at 581-2812 or pivalentine@eiu.

Men’s soccer team defeats St. Ambrose 2-1 By JJ Bullock Men’s soccer reporter | @DEN_Sports
Led by sophomores Tyler Massa and Kris Luke’s second half goals and a strong defensive effort, the Eastern men’s soccer team picked up their second win of the season over St. Ambrose 2-1 Wednesday evening at Lakeside Field. The first half of the game saw its fair share of offensive opportunities, as both teams had four shots on goal but were unable to find the net, it wasn’t until the second half in the 62nd minute that Massa would open up the scoring. After a shot by freshman Marcus Menniti ricocheted off St. Ambrose goalie Tom Greensall and junior Tim Pieper got a shot off as well, Massa was able to handle the rebound and put the ball right into the center of the net giving Eastern a 1-0 lead. “It was kind of a scrappy goal, but it was a good ball played near the box,” Massa said. “It kind of bounced off a few feet and ended up in a good opportunity for me to strike the ball; and I didn’t hit it as well as I could have but I got enough on it to put it in the back of the net, so I was happy.” Nine minutes after Massa’s goal, the pair of Luke and sophomore Julian Montoya was able to extend Eastern’s lead to 2-0 on a goal in the 71st minute. Luke received a pass from Montoya following a corner kick and found his way into the box, striking the ball into the left side of the net. “Montoya had the ball in a good position, he looked up, I called his name twice, he saw me and he played me the

ball,” Luke said. “I was able to just connect properly and put it bottom left.” St. Ambrose cut down the Eastern lead to just one, two minutes after Luke’s goal. St.Ambrose’s Nicolas Vizuette scored a goal very similar to that of Massa’s. After Eastern goalkeeper Mike Novotny saved a potential goal, the ball bounced off of him to a waiting Vizuette who found the net and made the score 2-1
with 16 minutes remaining. Following the goal by St. Ambrose, the Panthers tightened up on defense and held on for the 2-1 victory. Overall, men’s coach Kiki Lara was pleased with his team’s performance in the win. “We won. And we wanted to win,” Lara said. “We had a winning mentality. There were things that weren’t done specifically beautifully today, but at the
end of the day when you win there’s a concerted effort from everybody to get the job done. And sometimes it’s beautiful and sometimes it’s not as beautiful, but for me it was just nice to get a win, it was nice to get a win at home and in college soccer they’re tough to come by so we take them.” Lara was particularly satisfied with his team’s execution of the defensive game plan.
“They did very well with that, today we were very good defensively,” Lara said. “I thought, with minus the goal, I thought with just recovering runners and being disciplined and with being aware, I thought we made a big jump there.” JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.
Men’s soccer team loses key defender in win By Mark Shanahan Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports Just five games into the season; men’s soccer is already one win away from matching its win total from last season. Although the men came out victorious on Wednesday evening, they lost a key player in the game. Junior Zach Medeawattage went down with an apparent right shoulder injury with 13 minutes left in the first half and did not return. The junior defender has played the bulk of the minutes in the previous four
games for the Panthers. Junior Tyler Enright was asked to take on the task of filling in for Medeawattage. Men’s coach Kiki Lara thought Enright did well when called upon. “Losing Zach (Medeawattage) is a tough one because he’s experienced and he’s one of our leaders there, but I would say Tyler Enright stepped right in there, we’ve been training him there and he stepped in there and did a good job,” he said. “Tyler Enright, he’s a very competitive person and he’s a team player and when he has to do the job, we have a lot of confidence he’ll get it done.”
The Panthers did a good job of limiting Saint Ambrose’s opportunities in the absence of Medeawattage. They gave up one goal in the game, which came in the 73rd minute off of an initial save by junior goalkeeper Mike Novotny. Novotny was forced to make three saves in the game, while letting one past him after making the initial save. The men saw a new face take the field yesterday for the first time this year in junior Tim Pieper. Pieper has been bothered by injuries in his career here at Eastern, seeing less playing time from when he started 17 matches as a fresh-
man. Lara gave the midfielder some playing time after seeing him training for two weeks straight. “Tim’s just coming back from injury,” he said. “He’s barely getting into the rhythm. It’s been to weeks in a row where he’s trained. He’s training, he’s getting better and Tim is just one of those steady eddy guys that at the end of the day he’s responsible, disciplined, and he can spread the ball left to right very well. He actually opened up the first goal.” Pieper registered one shot in the
game that was saved by a diving Saint Ambrose goalkeeper. Pieper was the contributor for sophomore Tyler Massa’s goal, as his shot rolled back into the box after the save by the goalkeeper setting up Massa. Finding a new contribute for the offense could be key for the Panthers as the status of defensive leader Medeawattage is uncertain. Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.
Running center of life for cross-country’s Yunk Kaitlin Cordes Cross Country Reporter | @DEN_Sports Senior cross-country runner Tyler Yunk can consistently be found within the team’s top four at any meet he participates in. This season, Yunk took the team’s top spot at the EIU Walt Crawford Open, placing third with a time of 25:33.32. He ran the Illinois State Country Financial Invite in 25:39.04, finishing in ninth place and slating him as the third scoring runner for the Panthers. Yunk’s cross-country career started long before his days as a Panther, however. At 6-years-old, he began running for a youth cross-country program in his hometown, Belvidere, Illinois. Yunk competed in the Amateur Athletic Union in national meets as a youth runner, where his highest placing was a third place finish at just 10-years-old. When Yunk was 12-years-old, his youth team, the Belvidere Tornadoes, won the AAU national championship. Yunk’s Belvidere North High School team won three Illinois High School As-
sociation championships during his time as a Blue Thunder from 2009-11. In his sophomore and junior years, he was the state runner-up at the IHSA Class 2A level. Yunk won back-to-back state indoor titles in the 3200-meter race as a junior and senior. Before attending Eastern, Yunk went to the University of Kansas where he ran cross-country for two seasons. In his time as a Jayhawk, Yunk ran in two Big 12 championships and two National Collegiate Athletic Association Midwest Regionals. Yunk said his athletic career has been plagued by what he calls a “five year curse”. When he was 5 years old, Yunk cut one of his fingers off. Five years later, he said he broke his right arm and at age 15, his left arm. He now has two plates and 11 screws in his wrist because of his left arm fracture. At age 20, Yunk said he suffered from heat stroke multiple times in one race because of medicine he had been taking. Despite his reoccurring ailments, running even seeps into Yunk’s personal time.

Senior Tyler Yunk runs the final stretch of the EIU Walt Crawford Open. Yunk was the top Eastern men’s finisher.
He and older brother, Bruyn, broadcast a bi-weekly podcast on runnserspace. com every other Thursday. The brothers discuss high school, collegiate and professional running, providing insight on news, races and their own performances.
Yunk said that their online venture has been quite successful. The duo has produced 13 episodes, and their most popular episode has been viewed 84,442 times. Yunk is majoring in mass communication, and he said he intends to stick with
video production as a career. “I plan to make movies and videos for the big and small screen,” said Yunk. “I am going to try to get a job at the runner space website, reporting on cross-country and track meets.” His biggest dream, however, is to write and produce superhero comics and films. Along with his podcast, Yunk said he spends a lot of his free time with his teammates. Yunk said his group has recently started a Dungeons and Dragons campaign and play the recently released video game, Overwatch, together. The cross-country team is centered around friendships, and he and his teammates have grown to be very close, said Yunk. “We are all about friendship on the team. It is the best thing to be able to hang out with some of the most awesome guys I have ever met,” Yunk said. Kaitlin Cordes can be reached at 581-2812 or krcordes@eiu.edu.
