Chinese political candidate to speak at Eastern Staff Report | @DEN_news One of three candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, will be giving a speech 7 p.m. Wednesday in Roberson Auditorium in Lumpkin Hall about the role of Hong Kong in world politics. Tsang, who over the past eight years served as president of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council and Speaker of the Hong Kong Parliament, announced his candidacy last July and is likely to win the election, according to an annual survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong. The election will take place in March. According to the survey, Tsang is the city’s most popular lawmaker. He was also featured in the Sept. 12 cover story of Time magazine (Asian Edition). According to the article, Tsang is a bridge builder among pro- and anti-Chinese forces in Hong Kong and is considered to be the city’s best hope. Tsang, who is also a founding member of Hong Kong’s largest political party (the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong), is trying to fix the rift between Hong Kong and China, said the article. Eastern President David Glassman welcomed Tsang Tuesday in Chicago and traveled with him while meeting with state officials. Glassman said he is looking forward to hosting the event, and it should be a very interesting lecture. Ryan Hendrickson, the interim dean of the graduate school and a political science professor, said Tsang’s lecture is an opportunity for the Eastern community to hear from a distinguished international leader. “Students and the community will definitely benefit from his presentation,” Hendrickson said. Ping Chen, director of Eastern’s Public Policy Institute, worked hard to bring Tsang to Eastern, he said. The lecture is scheduled to be 20 minutes and is set to be followed by a question-and-answer session. A reception will also take place from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Lumpkin Auditorium foyer. Admission to the lecture is free and open to the public. The News staff can be reached at 581-2812 or dennewsdesk@gmail. com.

Voter Pride
MOLLY DOTSON | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Cerys Boston, a junior elementary education major, puts an “I registered” sticker on her shirt after registering to vote in Coles County Tuesday outside the food court of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Although Boston said she thinks voting is important, she said she likely would not have taken the time to register if registration was not available on campus. Students will have the opportunity to register again today from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Taylor Hall and tomorrow from 12 to 3 p.m. at the Doudna Steps.
Faculty Senate shares concerns about new Vitalization Project By Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News At its meeting Tuesday, the Faculty Senate discussed concerns about the Vitalization Project Eastern President David Glassman introduced during his State of the University Address. The project is designed to guide the budget and planning decisions when it comes to allotting resources to different programs and services. Different workgroups will recommend increasing resources for a program or service, changes to increase the program’s student enrollment and marketability, a plan for programs to improve their efficiency and programs that can be deleted. Workgroups one through six will analyze the efficiencies, viability and sustainability of existing services and programs. Workgroup seven will assess Eastern’s academic undergraduate and graduate programs. Eight is in charge of program development and nine is in charge of Eastern’s organization of colleges, departments and classes. These workgroups will analyze student services, technology, enrollment
management, intercollegiate athletics, facilities, marketing, university branding and academic programs. Jemmie Robertson, the faculty senate chair, said the nominations for the workgroups, whether they are selfnominations or nominations of colleagues, will go directly to the president. Robertson said the Council on University Planning and Budgeting will be serving as overseers of the work groups. “What Glassman wants to work on most is the faculty-to-student ratio and the staff-to-student ratio of the university,” Robertson said. Robertson also said that Glassman wants to achieve this by gaining more money with greater enrollment numbers. Senate member Amy Rosenstein said that by January, the committees need to make a decision on what they recommend for the programs and services. She said it reminds her of schools being treated according to their assessments, where a good school is left alone and a bad one has specialists come in and is monitored then to see if it will stay open or not.
Senate member Billy Hung said he felt similarly when he read the terms of the project. “My sense is workgroups one to seven are supposed to focus more on the dollar sign, including the cost benefits of academic programing, then eight and nine are supposed to come up with a more broad-based academic vision of the school,” Hung said. “It is not clear to me how the two sides are melting together. To me it seems like President Glassman is looking for two streams of input; one on the business side and one on the teaching side.” Senate member Teshome Abebe said when making decisions, the focus should be on whether or not the actions they take follow the constitution of the senate, and senate members should make sure they have the opportunity to say something when the recommendations come in. Abebe said the faculty senate should be involved in the reviews because they may have to say something at the end of the Vitalization Project’s process. “We may decide to have our own plan to present to suggest to the presi-
dent,” Abebe said. “I don’t think we can, given the time and shortness people have talked about…These things can go in many different directions, and someone is going to get gored.” Besides this concern, Abebe said the institution is trying to do the best they can for everyone and he supports their efforts. Abebe said it is important to have a transparent and mature process. Senate member Grant Sterling said he has been an advocate for these steps to happen for years. “I am optimistic in the sense that this had to be done,” Sterling said. During the meeting he told the senate he had been through something like this twice before with the university years ago. He said a plan had been drawn but nothing happened after all the work. Sterling said he thinks Glassman has the will to make the tough decisions this time. The senate decided to table the discussion until their next meeting to think about their next move.

If the grant gets approved, work would start on the houses next fall. The grants are given in two-year cycles, so the city would have two years to finish the work on the house, Pamperin said. The renewal for the agreement on alcoholic liquor enforcement with the Illinois Department of Revenue, a pilot program that started last year, was approved for renewal. Mayor Brandon Combs said last year, the department came to Charleston and trained the Charleston police officers to perform the liquor inspections of different businesses. This was because the state cut down on employees’ hours, as they did not have enough money, Combs said.
“We know the facilities, we can come in there and do the inspections ourselves, and last year it was very successful,” Combs said. He said it also benefits the police department because they get money out of it. “If it works good in our town, they are going to go to other cities and have those cities do the same,” Combs said. The council also approved closing various streets for the Charleston Challenge 40-Mile Relay foot race, which will be held on Nov. 5. The streets being closed temporarily are Reynolds Dr. and McComb St. AJ Fournier can be reached at 5812812 or ajfournier@eiu.edu.

The Charleston City Council approved sending an application for a Community Development Block Grant to rehabilitate houses on Tuesday. The grant will help lower-income families with house repairs such as replacing roofs, updating electrical systems and plumbing. No money would be spent out of pocket by homeowners. City planner Steve Pamperin said the grant is $450,000, and the city will fund up to $45,000 worth of repairs per home. If the grant gets approved it will also improve the housing stock, Pam-
perin said. Qualifications to receive the grant for household repairs depend primarily on the person’s income. But after income is considered, other qualifications to get some of the grant money are the age and disabilities of the homeowner. Community planner Kevin McReynolds said they are hoping to hear back on if the application will be approved by January. If it gets approved, the grant will go through the state but be funded by the federal government. The state will set up some rules, McReynolds said. “The neighborhood is bordered on the west by East St., on the east by Illinois 30 or Fifth St., on the north by Walnut Ave. and on the south by the bike trail,” McReynolds said.

Chicago P.D. to hire 100s more officers CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Police Department plans to hire more than 500 additional officers as it struggles to deal with a violent year full of killings and gun crimes, a city official told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson will announce the hires Wednesday. The department currently has more than 12,000 officers, and it hasn’t had a hiring push of this magnitude in years. The move is a departure from how Mayor Rahm Emanuel has handled staffing at the de-
partment during his tenure, resisting pressure to add to the department’s ranks and instead paying thousands of dollars in overtime. Chicago has seen a dramatic rise in the number of shootings and homicides this year. In August alone, there were 90 homicides for the first time in two decades. Overall, the city has recorded more than 500 homicides this year — higher than all of 2015 — and is on pace to climb past the 600-homicide mark for the first time since 2003. There have also been more than 2,500 shooting incidents so far this year, about 700
more than in the same time period last year. City officials have discussed possible hires with aldermen in recent days. Some of the aldermen were skeptical, saying resources should also be poured into education and creating jobs. The high use of overtime payouts in a financially strapped city is something Emanuel forcefully defended, saying it was a less expensive way to keep more cops on the street because hiring more would bring additional health care and pension costs. But things have drastically
changed. According to a recent Chicago Sun-Times report, there are fewer officers because police retirements have outpaced hiring by 975 officers. Plus, the department that’s long struggled with a reputation for police misconduct and brutality has been beset by criticisms and an erosion of trust in the wake of several fatal police shootings. Last year, the city was forced to release a video of a white officer fatally shooting black 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014, sparking major protests as well as federal and local investigations.
Donors spend big to help Trump, Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton say they raised record amounts of money in August for their presidential bids — a total of $233 million just in one month. And wealthy donors are pouring millions more into outside groups involved in the race for the White House and Senate contests. Some takeaways from the reports: CLINTON SPENDING SPREE Clinton matched her best-yet fundraising numbers with her biggest single-month outlay, new documents
show. The campaign spent almost $50 million last month, nearly $12 million more than in July, its previous most expensive month. Nearly $33 million went into advertising. She has blanketed the airwaves with thousands of commercials promoting her candidacy and attacking Trump as unfit for the presidency. And Clinton spent about $5 million on her roughly 800-person payroll. NRA FOR TRUMP One of the most active outside
groups backing Trump, the Republican nominee, is the political arm of the deep-pocketed National Rifle Association, which began September with about $10 million in the bank. The NRA Political Victory Fund reported Tuesday that it raised $1.4 million in August, mostly from small donations, while it spent more than $3.9 million. The majority of the group’s spending— some $3 million— was on television advertising opposing Clinton, the Democratic nominee, the
reports show. According to the Kantar Media’s political ad tracker, the group’s ads have been concentrated in the battleground states of Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Iowa. The new reports also show the NRA set up pro-Trump booths at gun shows across the country.

3 Art show to prove art is not only for elites WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2016
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS
By Kalyn Hayslett Editor-in-Chief | @DEN_news The art show “Art is kinda, sorta dead,” will offer a combination of art pieces in an environment that the artists say will break the traditional gallery setting. Approximately 30 to 40 pieces ranging from various acrylic paintings to handmade puppet sculptures created by artists Alysia Klein, Shane Kennedy and Joe Nivens will be displayed. Klein said art tends to only praise affluent, wealthy and sophisticated artists, which can be discouraging for poorer artists. “Sometimes I see it as a very elitist profession in some standards, but the nice thing about it is that it doesn’t have to be that way all the time,” Klein said. “You can totally choose to deviate from that and do your own thing.” Narrowly defining what art should be creates unnecessary pressure on younger artists and ultimately limits their creativity, Klein said. “They’re afraid that someone is going to judge their work harshly so instead of taking a chance they just won’t show it at all,” Klein said. “ I think more people should just not care about what teachers think sometimes or what their classmates think sometimes because art is totally opinionated.” Kennedy said criticism should not prevent the artists from experimenting with different materials and forms of art. “The idea is that we should not care about the material you use but we (should) care about how it makes you feel or if we have a response to it or if.

Alysia Klein, president of the student art association, prepares for the “Art is kinda, sorta dead” art show by hanging paintings with similar color schemes at eye level in the Doudna Fine Arts Center student gallery.
it looks nice,” he said. As student artists it can be difficult to afford expensive materials or have unlimited resources, especially with the lack of school funds, Kennedy said. The name of the show is a commentary on how art programs are one of the first departments that are cut because of a limited school budget. However, art can and still does thrive, Kennedy said.
The artists used a mix of items they found themselves and recycled supplies to create their artwork. “We want to show that you can make nice quality art that you can be proud of with cheap materials,” Kennedy said. “A lot of students don’t want to show something because maybe they used acrylic paint instead of oil paint, which is cheaper, or a cheaper type of canvas, but it really doesn’t matter.”
The show aims to create a causal environment with artwork that has relatable themes, live music and free snacks. Musicians Alexus Alvarado and Seth Asvell will both play an acoustic guitar set during the show. “When you try to be profound or too serious with it all the time you kind of count half the population out of it,” Kennedy said. “When you throw some jokes in there and throw
some stuff that people can relate to I think people enjoy it more and connect with it more.” The artwork will include a variety of themes based from everyday life to political satire. The show will last from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday in the room 1910 of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Kalyn Hayslett can be reached at 581-2812 or kehayslett@eiu.edu.

Pumpkin Spice Madness
Sierra Falk
Seasonal allergies can be bested
“Achoo! Sniffle, sniffle.” Every morning, my roommate and I awake to each other’s coughing and sneezing attacks. I look in the mirror, and my eyes are puffy and have large, dark circles beneath them. I try to force contacts into my dry eyes, but they refuse. Although my roommate is from the suburban Chicago area, I am from central Illinois. I know that it is corn-harvesting season. As a kid, I moved to different regions of the United States and was able to experience a multitude of the different plants and sources of pollen, or as I like to call them “airborn assassins,” that would send my respiratory system into complete shock. My first job I ever had was detassleing corn and picking pumpkins, gourds and squash at our local pumpkin patch. Every day I would come home with my body rushing out histamines in an attempt to attack the debris of corn and pollen that engulfed my workplace. Although doctors assured me that my body would soon become accustomed to the exposure of these pollens, I continued to have terrible allergy fits. The first step I took was taking simple overthe-counter allergy medicines, but I found the more I took them, the more my body seemed to become immune to their effects. I have learned that a good trick is to switch between different over-the-counter medicines about every month or so. This allows my body to let the medicine do its job without becoming too used to a medicine. In addition, I added on some nasal steroids to help with the constant sneezing and runny nose. The next step I took was trying to eliminate the pollens I was exposed to. After I would come home from work, I would be entirely covered in debris from the plants and the corn fields. While I do not currently work in the corn fields, this debris and pollen still exists in the air that I breathe on my way to class or any time I spend outside. In order to prevent the pollen from building up in my apartment, I recommend vacuuming carpets and washing sheets at least once a week. Sometimes when I wake up in an allergy funk, all it takes is a good vacuum to get the allergens out of my living space. It also is beneficial to shower before going to bed. This, quite literally, washes all of the pollen off so that I can get a good night’s sleep without waking up to an allergy attack. Lastly, if all allergy preventions seem to fail, it is possible to develop a sinus infection. I used to get at least two of these crummy infections per year. While antibiotics will only treat bacterial sinus infections, I like to go about natural remedies to treat viral infections. As bad as this sounds, eating raw cloves of garlic is a great natural anti-viral remedy. I have found the most tolerable way to try this is to chop the cloves up very finely and place them on a piece of toast. Although you might need a breath mint after this trick, it certainly helps clear your nasal passages and soothes the throat from post-nasal drip. With all of these tips and tricks under my belt, I am ready to take on the first official week of fall! Sierra Falk is a senior English language arts major.

Staff Editorial
Understand, exercise First Amendment rights As another Constitution Day passes with a successful panel about the First Amendment under its belt, it is time for students and the Eastern community to take a step back and understand just what our First Amendment rights mean. The five freedoms-the freedom of press, religion, assembly, petition and speech-seem easy enough to remember and a luxury for those who have them. However, they can also be a terrible burden and easily forgotten because we are so adamant about spreading our own beliefs that we refuse to hear an opposing voice. It is one thing to learn about the first five rights our Founding Fathers decided we should have and jot those rights down in our notebooks, but do we really understand what those rights mean?
Just because we jot down our freedoms in our trusty notebook does not guarantee that we will remember them and remember that they apply to everyone in the United States. There have been many instances in which we assume we know what our rights are and we run around freely expressing those rights; however, as soon as someone else who has an opposing view challenges our belief we want to ban them from speaking. What we fail to realize is that those five rights are for everybody whether some of us like it or not. The staff at The Daily Eastern News, believes students should not only know their First Amendment rights, but that they should also understand that freedom is a two-way street and everyone is entitled to these five special freedoms.
We live in an open market place of ideas, according to philosopher John Stuart Mill, and an individual cannot share their opinions without opposition. Instead of shunning another person for an opposing opinion, especially during this crucial election period we are living in, try to understand where they are coming from because after all, they have the same right as you to express their opinion, regardless of how “vile” it might be. If you argue your own belief you have a better chance of defending it and you have a better understanding of what it means to truly have the freedoms listed in the First Amendment. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Gun control is a reasonable reaction to threat Gun control has always been at the pinnacle of most political policy debates, but nothing seems to advance in legislation to obtain any real change. The current statistics from an On the Issues article published May 25, 2015, states that 40 percent of U.S. homes have guns, which is a huge number. The debate over gun control does not mean every single liberal wants to barge into your home and take away your guns. Gun control refers to a deeper conversation about making sure everyone that can and should own a gun keeps theirs ,but keeps them from individuals who are prone to doing harm to themselves or others. It should be a consensus belief to make America safer. We should administer child-safety locks that either require an ID (like the iPhone’s touch ID feature, for instance) or a combination to use a gun in order to avoid altercations involving children. According to an On the Issues article published May 22, 2015, 140 children died after being shot accidentally in 1996, and the number increased to 259 in 2012. There is a clear and evident gun show loophole that exists when someone attends a gun show with a substantial amount of money to purchase guns. This loophole can also be caused by carelessness, as own-
Juan Nevarez ers are not required to perform background checks when selling in a private transaction. I strongly agree with the right to bear arms given to us by the Second Amendment, but that also means that I can logically support the need for gun control to keep it out of the hands of dangerous or harmful individuals. The no-fly list is a no brainer and should always restrict individuals suspected to be a threat to society from having a gun. The no-fly list is a list consisting of individuals that are on the terrorist watch list, are registered sex offenders and are people convicted of trafficking in illegal narcotics, all of which clearly should not own a gun. There is also an issue with the states that have implemented Stand Your Ground laws
that allow the use of deadly force when there is a threat to one’s life. Once the law was implemented, there was a drastic increase in deaths of minorities, since now an individual can use the Stand Your Ground laws to excuse any kind of altercation as a defensive struggle, even when there was no true danger of one’s life. On another discussion regarding gun control, the argument that guns are for protection, often coming from individuals that live in rural America, is invalid in my eyes. Many proponents of this argument are not realistically prone to confrontation because of a lack of population compared to urban areas. My argument is: if you are more paranoid about your safety than the individuals living in areas where there is more gang violence or risk of being mugged, your perspective is skewed. I understand the enjoyment of guns for sport, for defense and for the right to express Second Amendment rights; however, I do not agree with illogical arguments that put the lives of all Americans in danger.

Tie ‘dyeversity’ brings bright colors to campus Students make individually themed tie-dye shirts at UB social activity By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News St u d e n t s l i n e d u p b e t w e e n Klehm Hall and the Life Science building Tuesday, shirts in hand, ready to express their diversity through tie-dye. The University Board’s cultural arts representation committee handed out free shirts on a firstcome, first-serve basis and also encouraged students to bring their own shirts. From there, students dunked their shirts in water until they were saturated, then wringed them out. Next, students went to a table that had different tie-dye designs displayed with rubber bands to hold their design in place. After choosing and fashioning their design, students were ready to dye their shirts. Each color offered represented a different aspect that makes people unique. For example, the color green signified that a person was a vegetarian or vegan, a scarlet red color signified that a person liked dogs, light green was for upperclassmen and yellow stood for members belonging to the LGBTQ community and their allies. Among the students in the process of applying dye was Breanna Young, a senior applied engineering and technology major. “When you see a color that actually relates to you, it makes it more interesting,” Young said. Nia Douglas, a junior fami ly and consumer sciences major, finished her shirt with a myriad of colors she said represented her best. Her shirt was red, representing her love for dogs, yellow for her support of the LGBTQ community and belief that everyone deserves equal rights, purple because she is an off-campus student and light green for being an upper-

The dye is supposed to set for about six to eight hours after the initial application and then should be rinsed and dried.
The UB’s cultural arts representation committee aimed to kick off their semester of diversity events by providing a way for students to show off their diversity through various colors that can be used to dye their shirts. Angelica Cataldo can be reached at 581-2812 or amcataldo@eiu.edu.

7 Panthers continue road trip at Wright State
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2016
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS
By Mark Shanahan Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The men’s soccer team continues its three-game road trip still in search of its first win away from Lakeside Field this season. The Panthers will head to Wright State, a member of the Horizon League, who is 4-3 on the season including a 2-0 record at home. Eastern is coming off of a tough road loss to Western Michigan as another late goal turned into a loss for the Panthers this season. Men’s coach Kiki Lara called Wright State a dangerous team on offense with some special players. “They are a dangerous team going forward,” he said. “They have some special players that can be individualistic. This means they can hurt us at times but also be susceptible to counters and good team play.” Eastern has been able to generate some offense this year, which was a problem for the Panthers last season. After being shut out in four of the first six games last season, Eastern has scored at least one goal in all but one game this season when the Panthers were shut out 1-0 against Marshall. Lara talked about what the offense needs to do in this game for them to be successful. “On the attacking side, we need to work toward becoming a more fluid and relentless team getting forward with multiple ways to get into the attack,” he said. “That is going through them with good possession or in behind them and supplying numbers to the ball.” A player to watch from Wright

Sophomore defender Jacob Lysik moves the ball upfield during the Panthers' game against Marshall University on Sept. 4, 2016. The Panthers lost, 1-0.
State is Peguy Ngatcha, who has six goals and one assist this season. The next leading goal scorers on the team have two goals apiece, and Ngatcha is responsible for half their goals so far this season. The defense, which struggled against Western Michigan, is something Lara pointed out as a key to
winning the game. They will once again be without junior Zach Medawattage, who did not play on Sunday but is progressing for Saturday’s game. “We have to be bought into team defending and organized with our thoughts and recovery runs,” Lara said. “We need to be committed de-
fensively with our set pieces, as well, and aware of dangerous players that come in our box.” Wright State is coming off of a 4-0 win against the University of IllinoisChicago on Saturday but suffered losses to Bowling Green and Green Bay before that. Eastern also played Green Bay ear-
lier this season and beat them 1-0; Wright State was on the other end of the same score in that matchup. The game will begin at 6 p.m. on Wednesday night. Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.
OPINION
Soccer team must find itself again after loss By JJ Bullock Men’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports On Sunday, the Eastern men’s soccer team was uncharacteristically poor on defense in a 3-2 loss to Western Michigan. Normally a team that takes pride in its defensive ability, Eastern gave up a season high in goals (3) and shots on goal (21) in the loss. Prior to the defeat, the Panthers had only given up five goals and 43 shots on goal in their first five games. On Wednesday, Eastern will find itself on the road again to face Wright State, and to come away with a win, the Panthers must regain their defensive prowess. Wright State is no Western Michigan; Western Michigan is one of the top programs in the country and boasts one of the more potent of-
JJ Bullock fensive attacks in the NCAA. However, Wright State has shown it can score and get to the net in bunches. The Raiders have totaled 99 shots on goal through their first seven games of the season, in-
cluding 25 in one contest against the University of Cincinnati. In order to prevent Wright State from creating havoc near the net, Eastern must get back to the defensive style of play that was so effective in the early parts of the season. If they do not, it could be a long day for the Panthers. Eastern will be tasked with getting back to its defensive roots without the help of junior defenseman Zach Medawattage, who will be missing his second straight game because of injury. Coming off a poor defensive performance, losing a starting defender and coming up against a strong offensive team, the cards are stacked against Eastern defensively. But Eastern men’s coach Kiki Lara was confident his team would bounce back from the
loss and regain their defensive identity. “Opposite of disappointed,” Lara said Sunday after the loss. “Western Michigan has one of the best offenses in our region, and the boys played very disciplined and grew a ton with the details required to compete with a team that will be ranked in the top 30 this week. The goals against were all goals that can be trained and made adjustments to.” To pull out a win on the road against Wright State, Eastern must be running on all cylinders on defense. If they can get back to their gritty and hardworking approach on defense, the Panthers should have no problem picking up their third win of the season. JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.

Volleyball team set to begin OVC play Eastern to face Southern Illinois Edwardsville in OVC opener By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports It is not how you start; it is how you finish. That is what the Eastern volleyball will hope to follow as it closes the book on the non-conference slate of its schedule. The Panthers knew there would be growing pains as they came into the season with no seniors, and that has been the story with a 3-11 record heading into conference play. While the wins have come at a premium, the growth of this team has not. Freshmen are filling positions they have never played before, and transfer junior Hayley Richardson is playing one of the most important positions at libero. But although growth is important, wins are as well, and the Panthers head into the Ohio Valley Conference play with a clean slate. The 3-11 record may matter to some, but the Panthers’ focus turns completely to a midweek matchup against Southern Illinois Edwardsville. Road games are never easy, but Eastern receives its first OVC test there. The Panthers head to Edwardsville to play a Cougar team that comes into play boasting a 7-4 record on the year. While Southern Illinois heads in with a better record, it is Eastern that comes in with the higher odds to win conference. The Panthers were selected to finish fourth in the OVC this season as the Cougars were voted to finish ninth. Regardless of the odds, both teams come into play at 0-0 in conference play. The Panthers’ biggest task will be to contain a dynamic duo on South-

ern Illinois’ side of the court. The Cougars post up Ashley Witt and Taylor Joens on the offensive end, and both have carried the team with triple-digit kills this season. Witt leads the team with 129 kills, averaging 3.07 per set, and Joens follows right behind with 127 kills and 2.95 per set. It does not end there for the Cougars though as they bring in an anchor on the defensive end as well. Eastern is dealt the task of making it past Katie Shashack who leads Southern Illinois with 214 digs this season and 4.98 per set. Shashack stands out on the defensive end as no other Cougars have more than 125 digs thus far.
The Panthers have some fresh talent of their own, as well as an NCAA statistic leader. Sophomore Taylor Smith has led the Panthers, the OVC and all of Division I volleyball in triple-doubles this year. Smith notched her sixth of the season in last weekend’s tournament, and that brings her within one of her total from all of last season. Red-shirt sophomore Gina Furlin is also enjoying being back on the court in her second campaign, as she was forced to sit out all of last season due to injury. Furlin earned All-Tournament honors last weekend for the first time in her career.

Freshman Maggie Runge will try to cause fits for the Cougars’ offense as she leads the OVC with 65 blocks on the year. The Panthers continue to grow through each set this season, and now they face the test of growing and winning against conference op-

OPINION
Panther team will get better in conference play By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports It was a rough preseason for the Panthers playing in non-conference matchups, but that tough competition has geared them up for the start of Ohio Valley Conference play. Eastern finished tied for second in the OVC for the regular season in 2015 after that team also struggled in non-conference play. The Panthers finished 11-5 in OVC play, and at times seemed like they could win the whole thing. Arguably the best match for the Panthers came on Oct. 24 when they hosted Murray State. Murray State finished as the top team in the regular season and started a perfect 9-0 in OVC play. Eastern pulled off what seemed like the impossible with the way the Racers were playing in the conference and came away with a 3-2 win in a five-set thriller. The energy and noise from the Panthers and the fans was unmatched in any other
Sean Hastings match of the season. Coach Sam Wolinski was speechless after the win. Unfortunately for the Panthers, that would be the highlight of that season, as they had a first-round exit in the OVC tournament. Tennessee Tech took down the Panthers in five sets. Eastern had a clean 3-0 sweep of the Golden Eagles to start the season. One question mark still remains and that
is how the young Panthers will find a way to keep getting better every day. The Panthers come into OVC play following a 3-0 sweep over Troy and a 3-0 loss to Mississippi State. Despite the lack of wins, sophomore Taylor Smith had an incredible preseason and even became the national leader in triple-doubles in all of Division I volleyball. She leads the nation with six triple doubles. What is even more impressive is she is just one shy of matching her season total from last year. Eastern has 17 matches left. In just her second season, Smith has already earned 114 kills, along with 224 assists and 153 digs. She and junior Maria Brown both dominated in more than one category in non-conference play in 14 matches. Brown recorded 102 kills and 141 digs. Eastern will have to wait a few days until they get to play their first OVC home match. And when that day comes it will not be an easy task. Eastern is set to host tournament champ Belmont Friday at 6 p.m. in Lantz Arena. The Bruins are the favorite to win the
OVC again this season. The Panthers fell to Belmont 3-1 last year. But first they see Southern Illinois Edwardsville, whose season the Panthers ruined last year by beating them in the final week of the season. The loss made it official that the Cougars would not make the OVC tournament. Eastern can expect a hungry SIUE team looking to get revenge on the Panthers. This can get the Panthers ready for the tough test with Belmont Friday. Yes, it may be tough with having no senior on the team after losing Stephanie Wallace, Kayla Nesbitt, Marah Bradbury, Chelsea Lee and Abby Saalfrank to graduation. But the freshmen got plenty of experience in the non-conference matches and held their own against the tough competition. Eastern should be able to have another successful season in OVC play and earn another trip to the tournament, which is hosted on the top team’s floor.
