Technology workgroup identifies redundancies, plan to use surveys By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman Getting data on what software and technological programs could be improved, made more efficient, consolidated, or outsourced was discussed at Workgroup no. 2’s meeting on Monday. Workgroup no. 2 is the subcommittee in the vitalization project that focuses on university technology. Biology professor Billy Hung said the group is planning on talking to specific groups that use technology on campus, such as housing and dining, ITS, CATS, Health Service, the Booth Library and Student Disability Service. The group is also planning on sending out a campus-wide survey. “Right now, we are thinking of possible topics we will address after we get the data,” Hung said. This data includes what people think could be improved, what would help with marketing, what could be made more efficient, and what sort of things could be consolidated or outsourced when it comes to technology. They will then take into account everyone’s feedback when making their recommendations. “Things people like and what to see more of, things people want and think that we should have, things that people think we should eliminate and replace,” Hung said. “We’re looking for all those three things.”

During the meeting, Hung suggested training for online programs such as Desire 2 Learn. “If we’re going to pay so much for D2L, it will be a shame to use it as an online grade book when it could be so much more,” Hung said. Hung asked whether software called Banner was one of the programs that suck up a lot of resources.

As of now, however, Awalt said there are not really any products that fit the Eastern’s needs better than Banner, as it is widespread among a lot of universities. One of the issues brought up was the fact that there is not a lot of standardization across the board.

"If we’re going to pay so much for D2L, it will be a shame to use it as an online grade book when it could be so much more." Billy Hung, workgroup member

Josh Awalt, interim assistant director for information security, said Banner is good if used in its “vanilla” form, but the university has taken different fields and manipulated them to mean different things, which adds a lot of additional work. “When we do an upgrade to a system, there’s a long, long process to get all the custom stuff that we’ve done up to par with whatever the update changed,” Awalt said. “We have to rechange our code to match whatever changed in Banner.” Banner has helped Eastern meet some needs across campus, but because of these new additions, it is taken so much time, he said. Awalt said with the reduction in staff, no new development is going on right now, so they are trying to maintain everything that has been customized.

Awalt said this lack of standardization could cause problems. One of the things the group discussed standardizing was how long people kept their panthermail address after graduating or retiring. Hung said many of these problems came down to needing a centralized structure that coordinates these things. The Workgroup discussed software and programs that are redundant and could be consolidated. These included video capture, document imaging, Electronic Medical Records, reporting software and E-textbooks. Awalt said they collaborated as a group to come up with a list of programs or software that provided the same function as others that were being used. Technology, page 6

By Analicia Haynes Managing Editor | @Haynes1943 Workgroup no. 8, focused on academic visioning, drafted their goals for the first week and defined what their mission is at their preliminary meeting Monday. Jeff Stowell, the chairman for the committee, reiterated the charge or purpose of the workgroup, and said members should be thinking about new or modified programs, completion programs, signature programs and micro degree programs. “Today my goal is to discuss the process, what our charge is and begin thinking about what our questions are for sources of data,” Stowell said. “If you have questions, please ask.” Amy Rosenstein, a Workgroup member, brought a list of suggestions to the table she found would be useful for the group to look into based on the Workgroups’ charge. Rosenstein said the Workgroup should look at the majors and minors offered on campus and then look at some of the other regional institutions and community colleges to see what they might offer that Eastern does not. Rosenstein said this idea is not a matter of just stealing students from other locations but to think about some other options being offered at different institutions that are exciting for students. Rosenstein used the art department as an example, saying that though it is an amazing department with many options offered, there is not a graphic arts program as of right now. However, though there are the graphic arts major and minor that will be offered next spring, which was brought up during the discussion by member Nora Pat Small, Rosenstein said it then would make sense to think about what is already in the works. “Then how do we think about (the new major) in terms of major programing and how it relates to what is offered at other places so that we can hone in on some of that,” Rosenstein said. She also recommended the workgroup not only look at undergraduate students but non-traditional students and graduate students as well when considering different programs. “We need to consider making our programing something that is enticing to all age ranges and all students,” Rosenstein said. Renee Kidd Marshall said after looking at a report from the Illinois Board of Higher Education it said 61 percent of the workforce in Illinois has a professional degree in collaboration between the state universities and the community colleges. Kidd Marshall said looking at reports and identifying the trends is also important. Britto Nathan, a workgroup member, agreed with Rosenstein and said it is important to create programs that will follow those trends across the country. Small also recommended that since members will be looking at several trends that will eventually tie into new or existing programs, then they should look at Eastern’s signature programs and how those fit in the equation.

Metal madness

Tara Starling, senior art education major, works on her first radio sculpture. This sculpture will have a pipe in the center with each 14-gauge metal cutout will be evenly spaced around the entire pipe. “I never did anything this big,” Starling said. “It’s intimidating but it is exciting.” The first step of creating the sculpture is picking the material then you have to stick with a theme Starling said. “When I was sketching it, it reminded me of a very abstract shape of a woman,” Starling said.

teachers threaten strike

Blotter A theft was reported near Stevenson Hall at 9:18 p.m. on Friday by the University Police Department. The theft is under investigation.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO (AP) — A weekend of inconclusive contract talks meant that negotiators for the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools met again Monday in a bid to avert a threatened teachers' strike, with an announcement expected before a midnight deadline on whether teachers would form picket lines in the nation's third largest public school district. Teachers are prepared to walk off the job as early as Tuesday morning, the CTU said. All 652 schools will be open during normal school hours for the district's 400,000 students, CPS said. The union wants no cuts to salary or benefits and an additional $200 million — or $500 per student — in spending to ensure adequate staffing and "to accommodate the needs of our children," CTU President Karen Lewis said. CPS has said it is working within the framework of a January offer, which included pay increases and a cap on privately operated charter schools. The union turned it down in February.

Dakota Access pipeline work paused BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers won't yet authorize construction of the $3.8 billion, four-state Dakota Access oil

pipeline on federal land in southern North Dakota, it said Monday, along with reiterating its earlier request that the pipeline company voluntarily stop work on private land in the area. The corps' statement came in the wake of a federal appeals court ruling Sunday that allowed construction to resume on the pipeline within 20 miles of Lake Oahe. That ruling sparked a large protest Monday in North Dakota that led to the arrest of 27 people, including "Divergent" actress Shailene Woodley, who is known for her activism. A joint statement from the Justice Department, Interior Department and the corps said it was not ready to allow pipeline work to continue on its land bordering and under Lake Oahe, a reservoir that the agency manages on the Missouri River and the water supply for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe believes the pipeline, which will cross through North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, will destroy cultural artifacts and could pollute drinking water. The tribe had asked the appeals court to continue blocking work on the section of pipeline while it appeals a lower-court ruling from September that let work on the entire pipeline go forward. Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault II said in a statement Sunday that the tribe "is not backing

down from this fight." Thousands of people have protested the pipeline in southern North Dakota in recent months, and nearly 125 people have been arrested since mid-August.

UN appeals aid for Haiti MARFRANC, Haiti (AP) — At a cramped police station serving as a makeshift clinic, Darline Derosier fastened IV drips to jail cell bars, wiped the brows of cholera patients and tended to the wounds of those injured when Hurricane Matthew slammed into Haiti's southwestern peninsula. She was the only health worker helping about 40 patients Monday inside the station bereft of police as she waited for help to arrive in the hard-hit town of Marfranc nearly a week after the Category 4 storm struck Oct. 4. Among the patients was an elderly woman lying unconscious on a jail cell floor with a leg bandaged in an old rag and a man with gashes around his neck, his eyes fluttering. "People will die soon if we don't get some aid," an overwhelmed Derosier told The Associated Press. The town is a 45-minute drive southwest from the coastal city of Jeremie, where food, medicine and fresh water are finally arriving but still slow to reach increasingly desperate communities.

Art historian lectures on women’s artwork Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter|@DEN_news Eastern’s women’s studies department celebrated the life of founding member Camille Compo on Monday night by inviting Gail Levin, a professor of art history and women’s studies, to speak as a part of the Inaugural Camille Compo Memorial Women’s Studies Endowed Speaker Series. “I really loved (Levin’s) personal connection with the art and artists,” Carol Stevens said, a retired professor of English and women’s studies. “It’s a record of a life lived in art and it would have suited Camille well.” Camille Compo was a long-time advocate for the women’s studies department and worked in the office of budget and planning during her time at Eastern. When the women’s studies department was approved as a minor in the early ‘80s, the work in the department motivated Compo to support the program even after her retirement. She retired in 2001 as the administrative assistant to the vice president of external relations, and was heavily involved with the first Women’s History and Achievement month. “(Compo) could sit down and talk to anyone and she had a fantastic skill in communicating and writing,” Judy Barford said, long-time friend of Compo. “She would have loved Gail’s lecture.” Compo died in June 2015, and less than a year after, the women’s studies department dedicated a speaker se-

ries in memory of her name. As the first speaker, Levin presented “Telling Women Artists’ Lives,” a lecture focusing on the challenges women artists faced in history. “It’s a great honor to find out that (Compo) shared some of the same enthusiasm for the same artists and art,” Levin said. Jeannie Ludlow, associate professor of English and coordinator of women’s studies, gave a personal introduction to Levin’s lecture, honoring Compo and her support for Eastern and the arts. “I’m 100 percent confident Camille is joyful wherever she is,” Ludlow said. Ludlow said Levin was a “committed feminist” and praised Levin’s studies as something that would have greatly interested Compo. Levin grew up in Atlanta and was the first person in her immediate family to earn a PhD. She has written “Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography,” “Becoming Judy Chicago: A Biography of the Artist” and “Lee Krasner: A Biography.” In her work she talks about the female artists Jo Hopper, Judy Chicago and Lee Krasner, all of which were women whose work Levin believed needed to be brought to light. “Things haven’t changed that much since I was young,” Levin said. “The stereotypes in public discourse and racism exemplified by people like Donald Trump and the gender bias is distressing.” During her career, she curated at the Whitney Museum and became the first curator of the Edward Hopper collec-

Gail Levin, a professor of art history and women’s studies at Baruch College, talks about a painting by Paul Gauguin, which influenced some of her own artwork, as part of a series of lectures dedicated to Camille Compo, a late founding member of the Eastern women’s studies program, Monday in the Lecture Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

tion. She studied his work and life extensively, and also studied Jo Hopper’s work. She has also worked on a collage memoir, “On Not Becoming an Artist” where she made her own collage art about the people she met and the things she experienced in her field of study.

She now teaches art history, American studies, liberal studies and women’s studies at Baruch College and Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Levin’s lecture was the first of the series, and spoke at the Doudna Fine Arts Center Lecture hall followed by a re-

ception in the Tarble Arts Center Main Gallery. “I want to encourage young women to stand up and make it a better world,” Levin said. Angelica Cataldo can be reached at 581-2812 or amcataldo@eiu.edu.

He said he is very optimistic and hopeful they will find a good match for both the administration and Eastern in gen-

eral. “(We are) checking out the candidates to see if they are a good fit for Eastern,” Lord said. The four candidates are Melvin Allen, Juanita Morris, Shaun Manning and Josh Norman. The candidates each turned in their resumes and are looking at a similar day-long interview process. They will each be talking to Eastern President David Glassman, Lord, the search committee and deans, as well as going on a campus tour. Allen has his interview on Tuesday. He is from Chicago and received his education from Robert Morris College and DeVry University and is currently

getting a doctorate in education from Argosy University. He has worked at colleges such as Robert Morris College in Chicago, College of Lake County in Grayslake, Rock Valley College in Rockford and the college prep school Lake Forest Academy in Lake Forest. Morris also got her education from a variety of universities including Illinois State University and Benedictine University. Morris has worked in both high schools and universities, including the University of Illinois, Danville High School and Southern Illinois University. Manning is from Cotton Grove, and received his education from the Univer-

sity of Wisconsin, River Falls and Keller Graduate School in Minneapolis. He has worked at Minnesota State University, University of Wisconsin at Waukesha, and Capella University in Minneapolis. Norman is currently working at Eastern, as the assistant for the assistant vice president of enrollment management, and has worked at Eastern for eight years. He got his degrees from Eastern and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Samuel Nusbaum can be reached at 581-2812 or at scnusbaum@eiu.edu.

The Times, They Are A-Changin’

Georgia Danos

Being bilingual from a young age can be a strengthening experience Growing up in a household where my grandmother did not speak English and other loved ones barely spoke any English, it was all normal to me. I did not feel like I was different or unique; I thought I was like every other student. But my perception quickly changed when I soon learned that Greek was not understood at school. Everyone spoke English. Unlike some kids growing up, I was lucky enough to learn a different language besides English. As a young girl who learned Greek before English, it was hard to adjust from one language to another. Because I transitioned from Greek school to American school, I felt that it was harder for me to fit in and communicate with others since it is a very different environment and structure. Learning English was one of the most challenging experiences that I struggled with because I was young, it was harder for me to grasp concepts and I felt that my educators did not really understand what they should have me do since I was different than my peers. During my elementary school years is where I found the most difficulties, but I learned the most about myself. During this time period of my life, I constantly struggled with trying to keep up in American school, stay on top of Greek schoolwork and fit in with my peers at both schools. There was hardly any time for me to do anything else. But because I had my brother at the same school as me, I felt more comfortable since I knew I was not alone. I learned that being different because I did not learn English first was not a bad thing. Despite some teachers not understanding what assignments to give me or how to help me, I had some great teachers who have impacted me to become a future educator. And although I did struggle with staying on top of both my Greek and English studies, I never gave up and kept working hard because I knew it would soon pay off. Thankfully, I had help from my family but I learned many valuable lessons at a young age. I learned to never give up when I was challenged, never stop fighting when I felt defeated, to always believe in myself when no one else did and to keep a positive mindset when nothing seemed to go right. Throughout my unique childhood, I have carried these lessons with me to my college career, and I have applied them throughout my life. Learning Greek and English as a young girl not only has helped me learn valuable lessons, but it has helped shaped who I am today. Georgia Danos is a senior English language arts major.

COURTNEY SHEPHERD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Staff Editorial

Apologies are more complicated than we know The recently released footage of Donald Trump saying derogatory statements about women paired with Sunday night’s presidential debate has brought about much controversy regarding the Republican presidential candidate’s respect for the opposite sex. Indeed, this has been and still is a widely disputed topic. However, the question we, The Daily Eastern News editorial board, are trying to figure out involves the phrase “I’m sorry.” This commonly used phrase is seems so simple on the surface, but its connotations are much deeper than one may initially think. Trump’s contrite response to the leaked video seemed genuine, but is an apology enough in this case? When are reparations appropriate and/or inappropriate? How much weight does an apology

hold? What does the term “I’m sorry” even mean? It is hard to pin point the correct retorts to these complex inquiries because the answers really depend on whom you ask and the situation at hand. In Trump’s case, the only logical response to the leaking of 11-year-old footage of him and Billy Bush degrading women was an apology. This does not signify he meant it. However, as Hillary Clinton pointed out during Sunday’s debate, Trump never says sorry for anything he says or does. With that being said, the weight of the Republican presidential candidate’s apologies is heavier than the weight of reparations from someone who pulls the “I’m sorry” card on a regular basis. Still, the vulgar content of the video makes it difficult to openly forgive Trump regardless of his sincerity and the tape’s age.

After all, he is running for the highest position of government in the United States, which means he would be the human representation of this country. Yet, it is hard to condemn a careless celebrity who has been known to say such crude things. It is equally as hard to defend his statements and actions though. That is why we presented the aforementioned questions and heavily debated on whether to even editorialize this issue. Although the board never truly agreed upon whether Americans should forgive Trump, we all can agree that the phrase “I’m sorry” is way more complex than it initially seems. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Manage midterms by managing stress This week marks the halfway point of the semester and the lowest point on the descent to rock bottom for those who procrastinate: Midterms. As midterms approach, I can feel myself becoming overwhelmed with anxiety about catching up with school work, finding time to work on projects and studying for midterm exams. When all of your professors decide on the same due date for all of your assignments, it is important to remember how to maintain one’s sanity in order to avoid sinking into a puddle of crippling anxiety and utter failure. One of the ways I manage my stress is to plan out my assignments ahead of time. Typically, I start with the assignment with the most recent due date. From there, I prioritize by which assignments might take the most time. I do these assignments first typically so that I can space out the giant assignment into smaller chunks in order to avoid overwhelming myself. Also, it helps to keep close contact with a planner or agenda in order to make sure one stays true to one’s schedule. Personally, I like to plan my day by the hour. This way, I can feel more in control of my day and the amount of time I spend on a certain assignment. It also helps me avoid distractions so that I can reach my goal and time limit. In order to promote good academic habits dur-

Sierra Falk ing this week, be sure to be your own coach. I personally like to reward myself in order to feel positive while doing my overwhelming amount of assignments. When I go to the library, I usually make a run to Starbucks or bring a ton of snacks to munch on as a subtle treat for being productive. In addition, I will set a daily goal to accomplish when I am working and reward myself when I meet it. For instance, if I get one assignment done, then I will reward myself by watching a movie that night or going out to eat. Edible rewards are the best rewards in my opinion. When looking at one’s calendar and seeing all of the due dates for different assignments to be un-

comfortably close to each other, it is important to take a step back and focus on maintaining one’s emotional and mental stability. In addition to physical rewards, I make sure to take the time to mentally and emotionally nurse myself during this stressful period. I am an avid nap taker and sometimes space out my assignments in between naps. In addition to being a natural couch potato, I find that I also am more productive if I provide myself with time to “sleep” on an idea. I have found that typically napping after studying or doing an assignment allows me to take a step back from my work and return to it at a later point with a much more clear mind. If naps are not your forte, there are tons of useful apps for meditation and relaxation. Taking a few minutes to relax and rest the mind does wonders for one’s stress overload. As midterms approach, one must put into consideration the importance of maintaining a healthy anxiety level. Whether it is planning, eating, napping, taking a break or meditating, be sure to focus on your own stress management during this finals week. Sierra Falk is a senior English language arts major.

“I grew a lot through the events that Pride hosted,” Eberle said. “Some were focused on activism while others were just on making friends.” Stauder said that those who attend Pride do not need to self-disclose their life in order to go to meetings. “It is just a place for people to exist,” they said.

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS

Men’s soccer team travels to NIU By Mark Shanahan Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports With a seven-game losing streak and almost a month since the last win, the time is now for the Eastern men’s soccer team to turn it around with a trip to face the Northern Illinois Huskies on Tuesday night. While they haven’t been winning, they also haven’t been scoring. The Panthers have been shutout in four consecutive games. Last time out, the Panthers had some chances from freshman Alex Castaneda against Omaha. Castaneda’s three shots on goal are a sign progress is being made on the offensive side of the ball. Junior goalkeeper Mike Novotny made a season high five saves in the 2-0 loss to Omaha on Saturday. NIU is 1-5-4 this year and has not won on their home field this season. They come into Tuesday’s match up on two straight ties against University of Illinois Chicago and Western Michigan. The tie against Western Michigan was their first conference game of the season putting their record at 0-0-1 in Mid American Conference play. NIU and Eastern both faced off against University of Milwaukee this season with NIU winning 2-1. The 2-1 score was also the same score as the Eastern and U of M matchup,

except the Panthers were on the losing end. The leading scorers for the Hus-

kies, Kevin Rodriguez and Max Voss each have two goals. Rodriguez is the leading point leader with five due to

an assist he has. The Huskies have just five goals on the season, with the other goal from Richard Hall, who

also has an assist. Goalkeeper Drew Donnally has started nine of the 10 games for NIU this season. He has 37 saves and a goals against average of 1.55. Goalkeeper Christoph Koninger played one game and had 11 saves, while giving up one goal. That match ended in a draw. This will be the 27th time the schools have met and Eastern currently holds the advantage 15-8-3 in the all-time series. The Huskies topped the Panthers last year on a double overtime goal to win it. Eastern will have a new look for the Huskies this year with many newcomers seeing action this season. Freshmen Anton Olsson, Marcus Menniti, Jonathan Huerta and Tyler Enright have been in all 12 games for the Panthers this year. Castaneda and freshman Yann Nsoga have also seen a lot of time. Nsoga leads the team in assists with two. The four-game road trip and nonconference schedule will come to an end Wednesday, Oct. 19 when Eastern travels to Cincinnati. After that they’ll be home for two games and away for the last to finish out the year. Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.

Garippo setting bar high for senior season By Kaitlin Cordes Cross Country Reporter | @DEN_Sports This cross-country season has already shaped up to be a memorable one for senior Ruth Garippo. Garippo said she came into the 2016 season in the best shape of her life. She worked all summer to maintain the fitness level needed to compete during the school year. “I worked really hard this summer to stay in shape and become the runner I know I can be, and it has being paying off a lot so far this season,” Garippo said. Garippo has been one of Eastern’s top five finishers in all three of the team’s meets so far this season. She posted her fastest time of the three competitions at Notre Dame, finishing in 17 minutes, 56.1 seconds. Garippo said one of the biggest chal-

lenges of her senior season has been realizing her true capabilities. Every morning, she reminds herself to run and do everything with a purpose, just as coach Erin Howarth has taught her to do. Garippo said she is the one person who can control her determination and avoid negative thoughts. “I have high expectations for myself this season and this year, and I have to remind myself that I can only be as great as I let myself be,” Garippo said. “Therefore, I can’t let mental distractions get in the way.” Garippo does not want these distractions or doubts to get in the way of the goals she’s set for herself this season either. She said she would like to win the conference championships in both cross-country and track, personally win the steeplechase in the conference meet for another year in a row and break the

Ruth Garippo

school record in the steeplechase. Achieving these goals may be a little easier for Garippo with her sister Rachel running by her side. “Running with Rachel has helped me so much, especially this past year,” Garippo said. “I always have someone to run with when she’s around, and we have the same capabilities, so we can go

the same pace...” The two have been running together for Eastern all four years in both track and cross-country, but they will be separated come spring. Rachel will graduate in December and will not participate in track. Garippo admitted that she will feel somewhat lost without her sister as a teammate this coming spring. The Garippos are often mistaken for twins, but Garippo said they are actually part of a triplet set. Their sister Hannah runs for Northern Illinois University. Garippo’s running career began while she was a sophomore at Lake Park High School in Roselle, Illinois. She started running to stay in shape for basketball, which was the sport she wanted to continue well beyond high school. However, Garippo soon realized she enjoyed running much more than play-

ing basketball and there was more of a future for her in running in college than playing basketball. Balancing school and sports has become second nature for Garippo. She keeps a strict routine when it comes to waking up and going to bed. She said she keeps herself organized by working on assignments ahead of time and writing out checklists everyday to ensure the most important tasks get done. Garippo is an Accounting major and will be graduating in May 2017. After graduation, Garippo will join the Financial Services Tax group for Ernst and Young, a job she lined up after interning for the company in the summer of 2016.

8 Panthers back in OVC hunt with win

By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports The Panthers needed a win Saturday to keep a realistic hope of winning the Ohio Valley Conference Championship. The one loss to Southeast Missouri may hurt them in the end, but every team in the OVC has at least one loss besides Jacksonville State. Gamecocks won their first OVC game of the season Saturday 40-21 over Tennessee Tech. Eastern and OVC favorites Jacksonville State will square off in three weeks down in Jacksonville, Ala. The Panthers have still have a chance to win the OVC championship but if they don’t show up ready to play each week, any team can beat them, Coach Dameron said. And Southeast Missouri showed that last week against the Panthers. Eastern didn’t play a perfect game against Tennessee State either, but still came out with the win. “We were able to make one more play it seems like they did,” Dameron said. “It was satisfying to get out there and play again and get our offense (going).” Dameron said the Panthers don’t worry about whom they are playing, and instead have to fix themselves first. Adding not being ready to take on the opponent is what gets you hurt. Next up for the Panthers is Tennessee Tech on the road, a team Dameron said is a much-improved team from last year. “If you don’t show up you can get beat by every team in this league,” he said. “I feel like we can win out, but we could get beat by every team in this league if we don’t show up and get ready to play.”

A Look Around the OVC Jacksonville State vs. Tennessee Tech: 40-21 JSU

For Jacksonville State, playing in the OVC has been complete domination. Saturday’s win against Tennessee Tech marks 18 OVC contests wins in a row, dating back to the final OVC game of 2013. The Gamecocks were able to put up 446 yards of offense, even with quarterback Eli Jenkins on the side-

line for the second half. The Gamecock defense forced five turnovers in the game while allowing Tennessee Tech only 229 yards of total offense, well below their season average.

Tennessee-Martin vs. Austin Peay: 45-31 UTM

The struggles continued for the Governors, who lost their fourth straight game and dropped to 0-4 on the season. Austin Peay was able to put up 31 points, but Tennessee-Martin dominated the Governors on offense. The Skyhawks led by 35 points in the fourth quarter after scoring five of the first six touchdowns to start the game. Tennessee-Martin put up 568 yards of total offense on the Governors with 380 of those yards coming through the air. Ben Axline had eight catches for 198 yards.

Eastern Kentucky vs. Southeast Missouri: 31-16 EKU

A week after SEMO got a win due to the Eastern defense falling apart on two plays and shutting down the Panther offense almost completely, Eastern Kentucky turned the tables on them to earn the victory. Southeast Missouri saw a 6-0 lead wiped away as Eastern Kentucky scored 24 unanswered points. A lot of the time, if a team puts up big yards, it is the quarterback having himself a good day. That has been the case for Eastern Kentucky the past two weeks. Bennie Coney, the Eastern Kentucky quarterback, threw for over 300-yards for the second-straight game. The Colonels put up 527 yards of total offense on the struggling Austin Peay Governors. With three losses in the OVC, Austin Peay can be pretty much

eliminated from an OVC Championship.

Back to Eastern

The Panthers have their starting quarterback back running the offense that seemed to lose a stride against Southeast Missouri. Redshirt senior running back Devin Church said having Redshirt junior Mitch Kimble back will help get Eastern back on track. Kimble showed his dual-threat

1-0 4-1 2-1 4-2 2-1 3-3 2-1 2-4 2-2 2-4 1-1 4-1 0-1 1-3 1-1 1-4

abilities with a rushing touchdown and throwing two passing touchdowns to Church. Even though Eastern did not play a perfect game Saturday, like Dameron said, having the running game rushing for over 200 yards, and having a quarterback who can run past teams, or find open receivers on any given plays. Sean Hastings can be reached at 5812812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.

Opportunities available for Eastern volleyball team By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team has lost eight of its last 10 games, but is suffering from more than just its losses. One of the Panthers best players and the Division I leader in tripledoubles, sophomore Taylor Smith left Friday’s matchup against Austin Peay with an ankle injury in the third set. Smith was held out of the rest of the match as well as Saturday against Murray State. Both games resulted in losses, but with the bad news also comes good opportunity. As Smith nurses her ankle injury, it becomes a critical time for some younger Panthers to step up in her absence. With no seniors to lead Eastern, the team will rely on its six newcomers to continue to emerge as the Panthers search for a turn-

around. Eastern is tied with three other teams for last place in the Ohio Valley Conference with its 1-5 record. Non-OVC opponents have not been any easier, the Panthers have gone 4-17 overall on the season, but the team is earning plenty of experience along the way. Eastern was projected to finish fourth in its conference this season, but has not been able to succeed with its youth to this point. Smith provided versatility to the team, with her sidelined freshmen Lindsey Powers, Katie Sommer, and Maggie Runge will all earn more playing time in Smith’s absence. Sommer and Powers have come on as of late with Powers filling in as Libero. Improving each match, Sommer’s posted four blocks and four kills in her last match. Runge has been one of the most impressive in the conference this

season, and has been a dominant presence on the defensive side of the ball. Runge ranks second in the OVC

in blocks this season, and will need to continue that as Smith misses time. Eastern coach Sam Wolinski said

there is no update at this time regarding Smith’s injury, but if she is sidelined the team will also rely on other sophomores. The Panthers have been led by redshirt junior Josie Winner and junior Allie Hueston who have both impressed this season. Winner has posted eight or more kills against the team’s last five opponents, and Hueston has posted at least five blocks in her previous five matches. Regardless of who steps up for Eastern, the team faces an important stretch of games coming up. The Panthers begin that stretch this weekend with the final two matches of its homestand, and that will come against Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State. Following the wrap up of home matches, Eastern hits the road for two more. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
