Trump, Hey Charleston what do you say? Clinton face-off for 2nd time ST. LOUIS (AP) — In a bitter debate filled with accusation and insult, Hillary Clinton declared that Donald Trump’s vulgar comments about women reveal “exactly who he is” and prove his unsuitability to be president. Firing back, he accused her of attacking women involved in Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs and promised she would “be in jail” if he were president. Trump, who entered Sunday night’s debate desperate to steady his floundering campaign, unleashed a barrage of attacks and insults, and continually interrupted Clinton. He repeatedly called her a “liar,” labeled her the “devil” and contended she had “tremendous hate in her heart.” On one substantive matter, he acknowledged for the first time that he had paid no federal income taxes for many years. The debate was the culmination of a stunning stretch in the race for the White House, which began with the release of a new video in which Trump is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to “do anything” to women. Many Republicans rushed to revoke their support, with some calling for him to drop out of the race. Answering for his words for the first time, Trump denied that he had ever kissed and grabbed women without their consent. He said repeatedly that his words in 2005 were merely “locker room talk” and paled in comparison to what he called Bill Clinton’s abuse of women. “She should be ashamed of herself,” Trump declared. Ahead of the debate, the businessman met with three women who accused the former president of sexual harassment and even rape, then invited them to sit in the debate hall. Trump refused to answer questions from reporters about his own aggressive sexual remarks about women during the meeting in a hotel conference room with Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey. Kathy Shelton, a fourth woman who appeared with Trump, was a 12-year-old Arkansas sexual assault victim whose alleged assailant was defended by Hillary Clinton. Some of the women seated alongside him, however, were graphic in their accusations against the Clintons. Bill Clinton never faced any criminal charges in relation to the allegations, and a lawsuit over an alleged rape was dismissed. He did settle a lawsuit with one of the women who Debate, page 5

Profit-loss sheets raise concerns By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman Though profit loss sheet data is now available on the vitalization project’s webpage, there are still concerns on differences between the data for intercollegiate athletics and academic programs. On the intercollegiate athletics profit and loss sheets, the tuition, student fee, and housing and dining revenue is counted as income athletics brings to the university. Philosophy professor Grant Sterling pointed out that the only income counted for the university from academic programs is student tuition. Profit-loss sheets look at the cost efficiency of different programs on campus and were put up on the webpage online under a “data” tab to assist Workgroups. Sterling said since student fees are earmarked for specific purposes, nobody should get credit for this revenue except for the programs the fees are being used in. “It seems to me more reasonable to say tuition and housing don’t count as income to anyone,” Sterling said. In profit-loss sheets for intercollegiate athletics from 2015, they claimed $4,185,756 in tuition, $1,217,773 in fees and $2,278,592 in housing and dining to get $7,682,121

as their total revenue. When this was added to their $7,017,767 expenditure, intercollegiate athletics came out with a profit of $664,354. Without adding in tuition, fees, housing and dining as revenue, athletics would have had this expense of $7,017,767 on their profit-loss sheet. Jon Blitz, president of Eastern’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois, showed these numbers in a presentation to the Faculty Senate. He argued that if academic departments used the same model intercollegiate athletics did, it would look like academic programs were making money as well. “Athletics was $7 million in the hole,” Blitz said. “To be in the black, they counted $4 million in tuition, (but) athletics doesn’t generate tuition.” Blitz’s fear is that if more resources are given to athletics because it looks like it is raising money, it will come out of everyone else’s budgets. In intercollegiate athletics, the profit-loss sheets were calculated by business affairs. Paul McCann, interim vice president for business affairs, said athletics is spread in so many different places that there is not just one place to look when doing an annual audit of intercollegiate athletics.

“We identify all the various sports, and we allocate costs, or specifically identify costs, associated with each of those sports,” McCann said. He said there are costs related to intercollegiate athletics. “Uniforms, umpires, officials, maintaining field, so you got the cost of doing the activity. You also have scholarships that you pay out,” McCann said. However, McCann said these athletes are also generating revenue for the university. McCann said this revenue, including student fees and housing and dining, with a bulk of the money coming from tuition, is part of the income athletes produce. “If the issue is that we want to adjust athletics, you have to consider what they’re bringing to the table,” McCann said. “And they’re bringing a significant amount of income to the university.” They did not put in housing revenue for academic departments, McCann said, because they do not have anything to do with housing, but athletics does provide housing for many athletes. The numbers business affairs used are from the university’s accounting system. “What we did was we pulled together what we thought was reason-

able for them to start with,” McCann said. “We think it’s a reasonable look.” However, Sterling said this made it look as if intercollegiate athletics play by one set of rules, and all the other programs play by a different set. Candace Flatt, a budget analyst who works in the Office of Academic Affairs, said she used several sources from student data, and financial aid that fed through accounts receivable to calculate the data for academic programs. The only funds she used were from Ledger One, which is from student tuition and state appropriations. The expenditure data comes from personal services, such as faculty payroll, student expenses, operating expenses, capital expense and summer school. The revenue used was from fall, spring and summer tuition as determined by a student’s billable hours and collected from the tuition amounts by the department associated with the courses. These billable hours were also used to allocate scholarships, waivers and the department spending by student, by course. Scholarships in academic programs are looked as an expenditure in Banner. Some scholarships are ledger one, and some are not. Profit Loss, page 5

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A weakening Hurricane Matthew lashed Georgia and the Carolinas on Saturday leaving in its wake millions of Americans relieved that one of the most fearsome storms on record in the U.S. wasn't that bad after all. The hurricane was blamed for at least 10 deaths in the U.S., including that of a 68-year-old Georgia man who died when two trees fell on his home. Hundreds were left dead in Matthew's wake in Haiti.

US judge denies media access to Chicago gang trial evidence CHICAGO (AP) — A U.S. judge in the racketeering trial of six purported Hobos street-gang leaders has refused media access to photographs and other evidence even after it's shown in open court to jurors. Judge John Tharp Jr. ruling denies a Chicago Tribune request to release exhibits once they're entered into evidence. Some evidence includes photos of victims allegedly killed by the gang. Tharp has ordered jurors not to follow any media coverage of the case. But he says in his ruling posted last week that he fears jurors wouldn't be able to avert their eyes from sensational, front-page treatment of evidence and that could undermine defendants' fair-trial rights.

Clown sightings continue ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police spokesman Simon Drobik says officers were dispatched Sunday to a call about a "clown sighting" near a kids' clothing store. Drobik says they were also in possession of what appears to be a handgun. The incident comes amid a rash of hoaxes and threats of scary clown sightings across the nation.

Women artists' obstacles, lives to be presented in series By Mandy Grepares Contributing Writer | @DEN_News The different obstacles and expectations of women artists will be discussed at this year’s Women’s Studies Endowed Speaker Series. Gail Levin, a professor at Baruch College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, will present “Telling Women Artists’ Lives” 5 p.m. Monday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Recital Hall. Levin will talk about the obstacles women artists of different cultural backgrounds face, including artists from different times and places. Her memoir, “On Not Becoming An Artist,” will also be displayed. Jamila Smith, acting coordinator of the women’s studies program, said

there are some realms of art where women are at the forefront; but when it is combined with different intersections of race and class hierarchy, it is not. Smith said when talking about art, people also talk about themselves. “In talking about myself, I’m talking about my background and the things that brought me to this place artistically and the things that shape who I am,” Smith said. Smith wants to draw a large crowd for the talk because it is a great conversation topic, she said, as it will be about various women’s experiences and things that shape who they are artistically. “When we’re talking about the different challenges that women experience, we hope that it begins a larger

conversation,” Smith said. Camille Compo, who the talk is named after, was a founding member of the women’s studies program at Eastern. Smith said Compo cared deeply about the arts and poetry, so they wanted to continue the conversation about art and women. It is a part of her legacy, Smith said. She was a part of the first Women’s History and Awareness Month. In 1984, members of the women’s studies program designated her as a Woman of Achievement. A reception will follow the talk at the Tarble Arts Center’s Main Galleries. Mandy Grepares can be reached at 581-2812 mgrepares@eiu.edu.

Educational, comedic approach to highlight Muslim challenges By Leon Mire Copy Editor | @DEN_News “The Other 1%: Muslims in America” will highlight the experiences of Muslim Americans 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday evening in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Hosted by the University Board, the evening will feature a presentation by storyteller and comedian Aman Ali. It will also include a calligraphy artist, and traditional foods will be served. The calligraphy artist will be available in the Bridge Lounge of the Union throughout the event to teach attendees how to write their names in Arabic calligraphy. Starting at 6 p.m., Ali will give a 60-minute presentation on the challenges he and other Muslims face

growing up in America. Katie Caulkins, cultural arts coordinator for the UB, said in an email Ali is a storyteller who uses a lot of comedic elements. “(He) also is very educational as well,” Caulkins said. According to his website, Ali has appeared on media outlets such as ABC News, CNN and NPR “to talk about the shenanigans of being an awkward brown kid from Ohio.” Foods traditionally found in Islamic cultures will be served by Panther Dining, including luqaimat, a sweet, crunchy fried dumpling often served during Ramadan; bourekas, pastries filled with meat or cheese; and a’tay, a hot green tea made with spearmint leaves. The event was planned for the UB cultural events committee’s “Ideas and Issues” segment. Carolyn Davis,

graduate assistant adviser for the Student Life Office, said the segment was formed to encourage discussion about hot topics going on in the student population. Members of Eastern’s Muslim Student Association will set up a table in the University Ballroom to talk with students about Islamic culture and answer any questions they have, Caulkins said. Davis said even though many Muslims are born and raised in the U.S., some are still treated as outsiders. “We want to bring awareness to a rich culture that is often judged but not well understood in today's American society,” Caulkins said. The event is free and open to the public. Leon Mire can be reached at 581-2812 or lkmire@eiu.edu.

Violence in Aleppo fails to end

BEIRUT (AP) — UNICEF's representative in Syria called Saturday for an end to the violence that has beset northern Aleppo. With the key powers deeply divided, the U.N. Security Council on

Saturday once again failed to agree on the course of action in war-ravaged Aleppo, and Syria in general. Russia vetoed a resolution drafted by France demanding an immediate halt to the bombing of Aleppo. A resolu-

tion put forward by Russia that called for a separation of moderate and extremist forces in Syria but making no mention of a bombing halt in Aleppo failed to get the minimum nine "yes" votes required for passage.

Families gather at Rugby Field to fly kites By Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News Kites flew high over the Rugby Field by the Campus Pond on a sunny afternoon, anchored by smiling adults, students and children on the ground. Eastern’s Staff Senate put “Flying High with EIU” on Saturday a few hours before the football game at O’Brien Field. The kites came either premade or with kite-making kits. Snacks were also available for kite-flyers who got hungry or thirsty. People chose from about 40 kites to play with. The kites came with various prints on them, ranging from superheroes like the Transformers, Iron Man and Spider-Man, to the minions from movies “Despicable Me” and “Minions”, to aliens, airplanes, flames, and a dragon. The kites could be seen from Stevenson Hall and even across the street, drawing all kinds of attention. Some people walking by the Campus Pond stopped by to play with the kites. Suzann Bennett, an office support associate in the Honors College, said it was a beautiful fall day to be out flying kites. Bennett said she did a test flight the Friday night, though her kite only stayed up for a few minutes. However, Saturday’s breeze helped her kite stay up longer. Bennett said the goal for day was simple. “(We’re) just try(ing) to have a fun day,” Bennett said. Shaniyah Mayes, a junior psychology major, said she saw the activity advertised on the communi-

ty service calendar and decided to check it out. Mayes said it was not the first time she has flown a kite; she had also done so as a child, but this is the first time she had flown one in a while. “It is more relaxing than anything to have the wind blow through your hair,” Mayes said. She said it is a challenge to get the kite up in the air in the first place, as it takes a running start to get the wind under the kite. It is a lot of exercise, but it is rewarding to get the kite up and fly-

ing, Mayes said. Mayes had an Iron Man kite, which kept falling to the ground, so she concluded it was time to get a minion one. “Iron Man was tired,” Mayes said. Many families showed up to play with kites, including the family of Alex Lazzara of Carol Stream, Ill. He was visiting his grandmother, a Charleston resident, with his brother for the weekend. Lazzara said his grandma heard there would be kite flying and thought it would be a good family

activity. He said it was not hard to build his kite, as he only had a couple of pieces to put together. Lazzara eventually let his brother use his own kite, as the one his brother was trying to use was not catching the wind well. Lazzara said flying the kite made him feel like he was three, and it took his mind off of what he had to get done when he got home. Keerthana Saraswathula, a freshman undecided major, said she was doing it as part of the class University Foundations, which is offered

specifically to freshmen so they can familiarize themselves with Eastern. She said she was flying kites as a way to interact with the campus. Though Saraswathula had flown kites with her family at her local park when she was younger, she was still a little rusty at the start of the activity. “It was a little bit rough in the beginning but I got it,” Saraswathula said.

Save a Life: Differentiate Mimes from Clowns

Shelby Niehaus

Pink products do nothing to cure cancer

In October, everything in stores is pink: bright, highlighter pink, blush pink, barely-more-thanwhite pink, mute pink. Every store is a wonderland of off-red. I love the color pink, and I hate shopping in October. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Because breast cancer is a high-profile malady, everyone jumps at a chance to support it for a little while. Snarky high school boys break out their Save the Tatas wristbands, men begrudgingly dress in pink tees for at least one day in the month and businesses stamp a cute ribbon decal on an even-more-overpriced-than-usual pink skillet or water bottle or pair of socks and bill themselves as progressive. For a second, I shall bench my criticism of pinkified marketing. Instead, we will look at the history of breast cancer treatment and the start of pink products. According to an article from The Guardian on Oct. 3rd, 2012, women initially struggled to get any recognition for breast cancer. The disease was not considered a polite topic for conversation, and women suffered in silence while the public valued their comfort over their lives. The same article notes that the iconic pink ribbon was a mark of solidarity between survivors and feminist breast cancer activists. However, the movement could not adapt quickly enough. What was intended to be a game-changing movement to acknowledge and adequately research a deadly illness instead turned into a cash grab by every major marketing firm, retailer and developer. Some companies actually set a predetermined donation amount when they decide to produce breast cancer awareness products, according to thinkbeforeyoupink.org. A company might, for example, choose to produce pink clipboards and donate a set amount of $10,000 to a breast cancer research agency. No matter how many or how few pink clipboards they sell, the money remains the same. So it is perfectly innocent to buy a hot pink clipboard? Well, no. That clipboard might be produced with methods that knowingly introduce carcinogens into the environment, the community, the product or the people who work to produce the product. More demand for that product will only produce more carcinogens. The pink ribbon on the back of your clipboard will not save the factory worker who handled thousands of clipboards from getting cancer. Finally, pink marketing is a safe and insincere decision for most companies. Now that the initial legwork of getting breast cancer into public discussion is over, everyone wants to support their mothers, aunts and daughters. Aside from some lesser-known groups and activists, most people do not know how pinkified products can complicate the fight against breast cancer, so companies face almost no resistance in producing pink products. Few people research what they buy, so most companies can slap a coat of pink paint on any product, change nothing else, raise the price by 20 percent and make a killing. Pinkified products change nothing. Sure, maybe more people know about breast cancer, but awareness is only the first of many, many steps. Do pinkified products leave out known carcinogens that can be found in manufacture methods and final products? Do they contribute to social change movements that try to break down barriers that women, especially marginalized women, face when trying to access health care? Do they remind, empower or assist women in getting regular mammograms? For all of questions, the answer is no. Shelby Niehaus is a senior English language arts major.

Healthy competition is essential for community Weller hall earned first place, Lincoln hall earned second place and Stevenson hall earned third place for the annual Residence On Campus Festival competition. The Residence Hall Association announced the winners and results last Thursday. Residence halls battled each other for five days in various activities from the legendary boat race to a campus-wide scavenger hunt. This week-long competition encouraged student participation by rewarding points for every resident that attends. The Daily Eastern News believes that this form of competition promotes school spirit and helps establish an active environment.

The majority of our students live in residence halls, especially underclassmen. For RHA to offer activities that will help students bond with one another is impressive. Creating a space where residents can create memories, laugh and cheer for their neighbors helps students feel like they are a part of a community. Competitions are known to bring out the worst in people. The cheating, scheming and unethical practices people use to win paints competitions in a terrible light. With rules and guidelines these negative side effects can be avoided. Healthy competition promotes teamwork, communication and pride. One student cannot win

ROC Fest; it takes students from every floor, every room and every director to put an equal effort into the activities. Students from all different backgrounds live in residence halls and these activities help students bring students together to achieve a common goal. When everyone is one the same page establishes a fertile ground for friendships to flourish. The Daily Eastern News wants to applaud RHA for hosting ROC Fest while encouraging students to continue to participate in healthy competition. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Cherish summer even though it has passed John Keats was an English Romantic poet who lived in the 19th century. He is classed in the same breath as Shakespeare, and some of his masterpieces are still studied today by English majors in schools all over the world. He wrote about life and love, about people and prejudice and other things that poets write about. He also wrote about the weather. He called it “Ode to Autumn.” It was a classic. His lines were crisp and fluid. His words flowed with the beauty of a meandering stream. It was like a painting on canvas— visual, brilliant and radiant. It was words at the service of a wordsmith. Robert Merry, not as popular Keats, was also an English poet of a different hue and class. He is the first known poet to write a poem about summer. He wrote in the 16th century in old-styled English, and his poem, “Ode to Summer,” is laced with imagery. Perhaps it does not have the kind of lines that would appeal to most modern readers, but it is worth reading This is my “Ode to Summer.” No rhymes or meters, no puns and those other devices that poets make a fetish of. Just the random musings of another graduate student. When I first arrived in Chicago in the windy blast of winter, I was not fully prepared for what laid in store. In spite of my sweatshirt, I felt as though I

Kehinde Abiodun was unclothed in the face of the elements. As I tried to find my way around, dragging my luggage along with me on the cold and chilly streets of Chicago, for the first time, I saw my own breath floating languidly right across my face. I feared that I might freeze to death in this place where nobody gives a tinker’s damn before I reached my destination. I survived. Fast forward to the dawn of summer, towards the end of spring actually, and I was excited to see the sun gradually creeping up in the morning and staying up longer on the horizon. It was respite at last. Trees that once appeared lifeless were now fullfleshed in lush green leaves. It was all beginning to look somewhere familiar to me.

It seemed it was the time of the year everyone was waiting for. College boys and girls, half dressed and half naked, drove in roofless cars, blaring music at the highest decibel under the kind eyes of a mild summer sun. Others just sat in some open space, taking in the gentle rays. On some days, I also felt like yanking off my shirt and joining the fray. But I contented myself with watching. And I sure had a good look. Although I have lived in the tropics for more than 20 years, in the month of July, when the heat reached crescendo, it was too much even for my well-tanned skin. After 6 months in the States, I was sweating again under the glare of the July sun. On those sultry afternoons in July when the sun bared its fangs, it was like the sting of a scorpion. Now the summer is over, but the memories will linger, at least for me. It was my first summer in the land of Lincoln, and it brought me luck, hope and some fortune. I will spare you the details. Now, the leaves are falling, and there is a chill in the air. It is fall. That time of the year when leaves gently acquire new colors. No more humid nights, no more scorching sun. So long, summer.

Letter to the Editor

Democrats have always been sponsors of slavery

After the Civil War when Republicans were busy amending the Constitution to assure former slaves a full standing as US citizens, the Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan in 1866 as an effort to violently deny former slaves from having such standing as citizens. This is, of course, why former slaves valued the Second Amendment. A series of Democrat presidents aligned with the Klan’s goals. President Woodrow Wilson helped popularize the movie “ Birth of a Nation,” which glorified the Klan, doing so over the objections of Ida B. Welles, a pro-rights activist. President Franklin Roosevelt assured his party he would veto any

anti-lynching laws, protecting one of the Klan’s favorite actions. President Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty was a cute name for a program which tended to undermine marriage and education among people living in public housing. His voting rights act did not have the support of his fellow Democrats. Without Republican votes in the Congress, voting rights would not have become law. The Klan mentality in the Democratic Party remained. With nearly eight years of our first African-American president, Americans of African ancestry have seen no real improvement of education and marriage in their communities and the escape

from poverty supposedly promised by the long war on poverty. War? Barely even a skirmish, and an expensive skirmish at that. Democrats continue their legacy of slavery through the use of the welfare system and the income tax. They never see a tax they do not like, especially that bloated monster with twisted rules: the income tax delights them. Slavery, not governing, is the ongoing dedication of the Democratic Party. Slavery, with “pay to play” gone global as one of its tools.

Debate

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 claimed harassment. “Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me,” Broaddrick said. “I don’t think there’s any comparison.” Broaddrick, a former Arkansas nursing home administrator, first claimed 17 years ago that Bill Clinton raped her during a meeting in Little Rock in 1978. Her lawsuit against him was dismissed in 2001 and criminal charges were never filed. Clinton has denied the allegations. On the debate stage, Clinton did not respond directly to Trump’s accusations about her husband or her own role, but was blistering in her condemnation of his predatory comments about women in the tape released Friday. “I think it’s clear to anyone who heard him that it represents exactly who he is,” she said, adding that she did not believe Trump had the “fitness to serve” as commander in chief. The tension between Trump and Clinton was palpable from the start of their 90-minute debate, the second time they have faced off in the presidential campaign. They did not shake hands as they met at center stage. Trump, who is several inches taller than Clinton, stood close behind her as she answered questions from the voters. At other times, he paced the stage, repeatedly interrupting her and criticizing the moderators. Trump also made clear that he did not agree with running mate Mike Pence on how to deal with war-torn Syria. It was unclear whether Trump’s performance did anything to expand his support beyond his core backers. He did repeatedly cast Clinton as a career politician who had accomplished little during her years in Washington and would be incapable of bringing about change, one of his strongest argument in a campaign that has highlighted American’s deep frustration. “With her, it’s all talk and no action,” Trump said. The new revelations about Trump overshadowed potentially damaging revelations about Clinton’s paid speeches to Wall Street firms. Emails released by WikiLeaks last week showed Clinton told a group that it’s acceptable for a president to project differing positions in public and private. Asked in the debate whether that’s “twofaced,” Clinton pointed to Abraham Lincoln, saying he did whatever he could to get the 13th Amendment passed, allowing emancipation of the slaves, by lawmakers who did not support African-American equality. “I was making the point it is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want them to do,” Clinton said. “That was a great display of presidential leadership.” Rolling his eyes, Trump said, “Now she’s blaming the late, great Abraham Lincoln.”

When looking at expenditures, Flatt looked at the fiscal year, which ends in July. When looking at tuition, she looked at the academic year, which starts in September. She said this was not aligned, so she took expenditures and shifted it over. Expenditures were then adjusted to reflect an academic year to match tuition. A database was then created with 438,317 records and 56 fields that detailed the expense and income brought by a student based on these billable hours from Fall 2011 through Spring 2016. This database also included whether or not the department was associated with a student’s major, the department associated with the course and whether or not the course was continuing ed-

ucation. Flatt looked at these numbers of billable hours, looked at the costs associated with them, then allocated piece of the expenditure to each student before looking at the total spending by the department. When doing this, Flatt considered the fact when a student takes a class that is not from their major, which might have different expenditure, so they would pick up a piece of the different major’s expenditures. Though academic programs also have people donating money to them, they do not get the credit because it is not included in Ledger One money, Sterling said. Sterling said even if one set of spreadsheets were done by one person and the other was done by a different person, the administration still has the responsibility to assign the tasks in a way that makes sense. To rectify this, they could have had someone look over it before it was released, he said. “What should really be done is giv-

ing academic programs credit for the revenue they generate, and (not giving) intercollegiate athletics credit for things not in intercollegiate athletics,” he said. Though people can argue students are brought to Eastern because of a certain sport, Sterling said other athletes come to Eastern regardless. “Even if they say the student’s at EIU only because EIU has (that sport,) nevertheless, by paying tuition the university is required to provide that many credit hours worth of classes. The money isn’t pure income to the university, the income is payment for a service,” Sterling said. Sterling’s fear now is that the Workgroups that look at the academic programs will look at data that could be misleading. “It makes it look as if various departments on campus are losing money, when some of them are not losing money,” Sterling said. “Some of them are making money, others are losing not as much as it appears because the accounting is done wrong.” If during the vitalization project, Workgroups look at this data, Blitz

said, academic programs are at a disadvantage if they do not use the same criteria in the profit loss sheets as intercollegiate athletics. Sterling said if Workgroups make decisions based on this data, they will recommend cuts in various programs because it looks as if some programs are losing more money than they actually are. On the flip side, if a program such as intercollegiate athletics looks like it is making money, it is less likely there will be cuts to it, Sterling said. Because of this, Blitz’s concern is that if more resources are given to athletics because it looks like it is raising money, it will come out of everyone else’s budgets. Flatt said this data has been checked “a hundred” times and been reviewed by the administrations. The business office also did their own independent analysis and came close to the conclusion Flatt did, even when using different assumptions.

Own goal hands Panthers 3rd-straight loss By Phil Delma Women’s Soccer Reporter | DEN_Sports In Sunday’s away game against Morehead State, the Eastern women’s soccer team fell 1-0 in the 48th minute in virtue of an own goal after an attempted clearance rebounded from the defense. The women’s soccer team’s record stands at 4-9 overall and 1-4 in Ohio Valley Conference play. Following the loss, the Panthers had their last six games decided by a goal, which includes all OVC fixtures played in the season. Eastern’s late, unlucky loss to Morehead State came in a game where the Panthers were able to get some shots on goal. The Panthers had 13 shots overall with six of them being on goal. Morehead State had 12 shots, but seven of those were on net. Freshman goalkeeper Sara Teteak made six saves in the game, which was her fourth most on the season. Her season high came against Illinois State when she recorded 19 saves. Most of Teteak’s games have been close games, but Eastern’s offense just has not been able to score many goals. The Panthers have lost their last three games. And with the saves Teteak has made in net, her save percentage is at 83.8 percent. Recent losses to Jacksonville State and Belmont have come as a result of a goal scored in the last 15 minutes of the game.

Volleyball team still winless at home By Maher Kawash and Sean Hastings Volleyball Reporter and Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports A team’s home court is usually where most of its success is found, but that has not been the case for the Eastern volleyball team. The Panthers returned home this past weekend to begin a four-match home stand with an 0-5 record in Lantz Arena, and that did not improve against two of the top teams in the Ohio Valley Conference. Eastern struggled from beginning to end against Austin Peay and Murray State, and those games resulted in two more home losses. The toughest part of the weekend for the Panthers was having to face Murray State Saturday without one of their top players. Sophomore Taylor Smith went down with an ankle injury against Austin Peay Friday night, and in result, Eastern had to play the rest of the weekend without the Division Ileader in triple-doubles. But the struggles went beyond Smith not being able to play, as Eastern followed the trend it has for most of the season. The Panthers hung in there with Murray State in the first set with the score tied at 16 heading into the final stretch. But this set and match was another example of Eastern falling just short as the Racers rallied for a 5-0 run and went on to take the first set, 25-20. Eastern coach Sam Wolinski said Friday night that if Eastern was going to have success against Murray State, and really any team, they cannot let them go on four to five point runs. The following sets did not offer

much more success for the Panthers as they dropped both, 25-18, as well as fell to 4-17 on the season. “Losing Taylor on Friday night was a loss for sure, but I thought we did a good job responding with the 5-1 overall on Saturday,” Wolinski said. The loss to Murray State handed Eastern a 1-5 record on the season, while dropping the team to 0-7 in Lantz Arena. “I think the last two weeks we have made some solid improvements, and need to keep bettering ourselves as the rave for the OVC tourney is still wide open,” Wolinski said. Although the Panthers dropped another match, some improvements were still evident. Freshman Katie Sommer continues to emerge in her first year, and she added another four kills and four blocks against Murray State. Redshirt junior Josie Winner stepped up by leading the Panthers with eight kills and 10 digs, while junior Allie Hueston led both teams with five blocks. Friday night against Austin Peay, the Panthers were down most of the first set but were able to keep it close with the Governors. Eastern trailed, 24-21, but rallied back to take the lead, 25-24. Eastern was unable to put away Austin Peay with the 25-24 lead, and also with a 26-25 lead. Austin Peay got back-to-back kills and eventually won 28-26 off a ballhandling error by redshirt freshman Gina Furlin. Wolinski said the way the Panthers were able to fight back from the early deficit, but when the time came to end the set, they were unable to put a ball down. The second set was similar in a

way, except Eastern had a 19-14 lead, but blew the lead and ended up losing 27-25. One thing that stood out is Eastern was playing much smoother than in recent matches. “We’ve gotten better in the last few weeks, and that’s why there’s a lot more fluidity,” Wolinski said. The third set was just tough for the Panthers all around. Austin Peay

jumped out to 4-0 lead and kept rolling. And early in the third set is when Smith went down. She went up for a block attempt and came down holding her ankle and she was replaced by freshman Maggie Runge. The Panthers fell in that set, 2515. The Panthers now turn their focus

to the final two matches of the home stand that take place this upcoming weekend. “This week at practice will give us a chance to improve in some areas of running the 5-1 and tweak some rotations,” Wolinski said. Maher Kawash and Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2818 or densportsdesk@gmail.com.

Losing streak up to 7 for men’s soccer team By Mark Shanahan Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team was held scoreless for the fourth game in a row and was handed its seventh loss in a row on Saturday against Omaha. The loss puts the Panthers at 2-91 and 0-3 in conference play while Omaha improved to 5-4-3 overall and 2-0 in conference play. Eastern lost 2-0 on a pair of first half goals from Omaha.

The first goal came 11 minutes into the game by Fazlo Alihodzic for his sixth goal of the year. The goal was assisted by Seth Rinderknecht. Junior goalkeeper Mike Novotny was kept busy recording five saves in the game for the Panthers. The second goal came in the final minutes of the first half from Emmanuel Hazmat for his third goal of the year. The 41st-minute goal was assisted by Ethan Bowman and was sent past Novotny’s left side. The Panthers were unable to find a

goal on Saturday despite outshooting Omaha 8-4 in the first half. Freshman Alex Castaneda led the Panthers with four shots, three on goal for a new season high. Both teams finished the game with 11 shots each, but Omaha outshot Eastern, 7-4, with shots on goal. Senior Miguel Carillo had the other shot on goal for Eastern in the game. Sophomores Kris Luke, Trevor Kerns and Christian Sosnowski each had shots in the game along with senior Davis Wegmann.

Elvir Ibisevic led Omaha in shots with four and two of them were on goal. Alihodzic and Mark Moulton each had two shots on goal at well. Alihodzic has a Summit League-leading 16 points on the year that ties him with two others. Omaha goalkeeper Joseph Ghitis had four saves in the game. Ghitis was forced to make two saves in the first half and two in the second half. Castaneda put the pressure on with shots in the 55th and 56th

minute but was unable to get it past Ghitis. Omaha now joins Western Illinois and Denver as the unbeaten teams in conference play, while Eastern joins IUPUI as the only 0-3 teams in the Summit League. Eastern will remain on the road to face Mid-American Conference opponent Northern Illinois this Tuesday. Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.

Run game knocks off Tennessee State By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports It did not take long for redshirt junior quarterback Mitch Kimble to get back into his usual form after sitting out the last two games because of an injury. Following a 66-yard kick return from redshirt junior Korliss Marshall to open the game, the Panthers ran three plays before Kimble ran it 9 yards into the end zone. Eastern’s drive began at the Tennessee State 10-yard line. Kimble took the snap, faked the handoff to redshirt senior Devin Church and maneuvered his way into the end zone, having to beat just one defender as the fake handoff drew Tennessee State to Church. And having Kimble back not only brings his arm back into the equation, but Kimble has been able to get the job done using his legs. His touchdown Saturday night was his second rushing touchdown of the year in four games. He has 117 rushing yards. Church was happy to have Eastern’s starting quarterback back on the field. “We got Mitch back; I definitely think that helped us out a lot,” Church said. “Mitch almost gives you a dual threat because he can run the ball and he can pass the ball. And we just played a good game.” Church and Marshall also added to the Panther running that game that has seemed to find a life in the last few weeks. Eastern rushed for 221 yards, and Tennessee State only ran for 76. “For us to rush for 221 yards, that’s what we need to be doing,” Dameron said. “Especially against a good defense like that. They made some plays.” Eastern came out hot to start the game, with the first score coming just 1:30 into the game and a second score five minutes later. But Eastern slowed down a little bit, and Tennessee State started to inch its way back into the game. Senior linebacker Seth McDonald said the Panthers kind of lost composure after having such a fast start and need to make sure they cut down on opposing offenses making big plays to get them back in games. And a fast start like that, Coach Kim Dameron knew that it would keep going that way. Part of the reason Tennessee State was able to get back into the game was because of wide receivers Patrick Smith and Steven Newbold. Smith and Newbold each had one touchdown, and Smith had 160 yards receiving. Coach Dameron has high praise for the Tiger receivers. “There might not be a better receiver in the country than Patrick Smith,” Dameron said. “The guy makes plays. And Newbold isn’t far behind him.” Eastern had to deal with injuries on defense on the outside and had to use two redshirt freshmen and a senior to try and stop the duo, but Dameron was proud of the way they competed. One of the bigger stories coming into the game was Tennessee State’s kicker Lane Clark. Clark has a stronger leg than most college kickers in the country, and it showed Saturday. Clark was good from 57 yards, but that one was waved off because Eastern was offside before the ball was snapped, and then on the do-over, Clark drilled the 52-yard field goal. But when it came down to the wire, what seemed like an easy field goal for the kicker with three minutes left from 46 yards, Clark was not clutch. Clark shanked the kick and it was a low line drive that came up well short of the uprights. The kick would have given Tennessee State a 3735 lead. Eastern got the ball back and ran the clock down to 40 seconds. This meant Tennessee State would get a few shots to move down the field. And if they got it past the 50, Clark would get a shot at redemption. But redshirt junior punter Cody Edwards pinned the Tigers at their own 4-yard line and the ground was too much to cover for Tennessee State, and Eastern escaped with the win.

OPINION

Defense, discipline stand out in win By Maher Kawash Football Reporter | @DEN_Sports Numbers never lie in football, but sometimes in the end all that matters is the outcome of the game. That was the case for Eastern Saturday night as the team took on an undefeated conference-foe in Tennessee State. The 35-34 score line may give one the impression that both defenses struggled throughout, but in reality, that was not the case. Along with allowing the 34 points, the Panthers’ defense gave up 379 yards of total offense. That number stands out, but most of it came through the air and on a couple of deep pass plays. Eastern allowed two passing touchdowns of 40-plus yards in the second half, and that evidently kept the game close. But as they have stressed all season long, senior linebacker Seth McDonald said the Panthers could bend but not break. McDonald and the rest of the team believe BRYAN BUND | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS they can give up any amount of yards, but in the end, the score is the only thing that mat- Redshirt junior quarterback Mitch Kimble makes his way into the endzone for the Panthers' first score of the game against Tennessee State at O'Brien Field.
