Bakken announced as 2nd provost candidate By Chrissy Miller Administration Reporter| @DEN_News The second provost candidate has been announced on Eastern’s website as Jeffrey Bakken, currently the associate provost for research and dean of the graduate school at Bradley University. Bakken is staying until Wednesday t o g o t h ro u g h t h e o n - c a m p u s interview process. An open forum for students to ask Bakken questions will be from 1 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Tuesday in the Arcola/ Tuscola room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The
faculty forum will be directly after from 2 p.m. to 2:50 p.m. in the same place. An open session for the staff and staff senate will be from 11:05 p.m. to 11:50 p.m. Wednesday in the Arcola/Tuscola room. Bakken was an associate professor in the department of specialized educational development at Illinois State University from Aug. 1999 to July 2004. From 2004 to 2012, he served as a full-tenured professor at Illinois State. He became the interim chair of the department of special education at Illinois State in July 2007 and continued in that position until
Dec. 31, 2008. He then became the official chair of that department from Jan. 1, 2009 to Aug. 16, 2011. In 2011, he served as interim associate dean for research, graduate studies and international education in Illinois State’s College of Education. In 2012 he was relocated to Bradley University, where he served as the dean of the graduate school and sponsored research for a year. In 2013, he became associate provost for research and dean of the graduate school at Bradley. In his current position, he helped increase Bradley University’s graduate enrollment from 578 students in
2012 to 1113 students this past fall. He also helped raise the international graduate population from 118 in 2012 to over 400 currently. According to his resume, in his past position as interim dean at Illinois State University, Bakken was able to approve all grant proposals when the dean was off-campus and unable to do so. He was also in charge of analyzing all graduate programs in the college, deciding if these programs should grow, be reduced or be deleted.

Proposal combining the Gateway Program, Academic Advising services to be considered By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman A proposal to combine some of the advising services provided by the Academic Advising Center on Ninth Street Hall and the Gateway program is currently being evaluated at Eastern. Mona Davenport, director of minority affairs, said these organizational changes are still in the infancy stage. Even if they were to go into effect, she said, the Gateway program would still
continue to exist. “We still have Gateway students coming in, and we will continue to have the Gateway program,” she said. In an emailed statement, Provost Blair Lord said the proposal for this reorganization is simply being discussed. If it were to go through, he said, there is a contractual process that would need to be followed. “With the lower staffing levels across the university, we are always looking for the most efficient ways of deploying our
staff resources,” Lord said. The proposed reorganization combine Gateway office’s academic advisers and advisers under the Center for Academic Support and Assessment, Davenport said. The program, housed in Minority Affairs, would potentially move to the Academic Advising Center in Ninth Street Hall. Gateway advisers would keep their positions. Currently, Gateway advisers advise Gateway students and advisers in Ninth Street Hall only advise new or undeclared
standard admits.** With the proposal, students would be taken care of by all the advisers. Before, there were two separate offices, Davenport said. “What we’re doing is putting the office together.” Gateway students get some opportunities other students do not, Davenport said, including the chance for more intrusive advisement and workshops on timemanagement and test-taking skills.

Students will have the chance to vote for the next student body president Monday and Tuesday. An email will be sent to each students’ panthermail address, a l l ow i n g t h e m t o vo t e a l l t h e student government’s executive board positions. Speaker of the Senate Felicia Wagner, student vice president of academic affairs Luke Young and Jonathan Williams, a graduate student studying political science, are the candidates running for student body president. Wagner has been in student government since the spring of 2016. She said she wants to make a difference by increasing student recruitment and retention at Eastern, with academic initiatives and by continuing the “It’s on Us” campaign, which raises awareness of sexual assault on college campuses. She plans on increasing recruitment and retention by going to high schools from many areas to talk to students about Eastern. As president, Wagner said she wants to bring hands-on learning into the classroom by reaching out to Human Resources and faculty members. “That is how I learned and I know that many other students learn that way as well,” she said. To increase campus unity, she would have a pep rally during midterms instead of just once during the school year. Wagner said the way to make student government more visible to students is by getting its logo out there and having the senate talk to students. Student Vice President of Ac a d e m i c A f f a i r s L u k e Yo u n g has been involved in student government for two and a half years. “I am running for president b e c a u s e I h a ve b e e n a p a r t o f (student government) for a long time and I love it,” Young said. “I also have ideas that will benefit Eastern now and also in the future.” Yo u n g s a i d h e w o u l d s o l v e problems that are stopping students from coming to Eastern. He wants to make programs on campus sustainable so when students leave, their ideas will remain and others will build on that foundation.

STATE AND NATIONAL NEWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1 dead, 15 injured at Cincinnati nightclub CINCINNATI (AP) — A gunfight broke out inside a crowded Cincinnati nightclub early Sunday, leaving one man dead and 15 others wounded after a dispute among several patrons escalated into a shootout, authorities said. No suspects were in custody by late afternoon in the shooting at the Cameo club, which has a history of gun violence, and police said there was no indication of any terrorism link. Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said one of the wounded was in "extremely critical condition," while a hospital spokeswoman said two victims were listed in critical condition. Police began receiving calls at 1:30 a.m. about gunshots at the club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati. Isaac said some 200 people were inside the club, one of the few hip-hop venues in the city, for music and dancing.
Isaac identified the dead man as 27-yearold O'Bryan Spikes, but provided no other details. He said 15 others were injured, with some already treated and released from hospitals. "What we know at this point in the investigation is that several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar, and it escalated into shots being fired from several individuals," Isaac said. It wasn't clear how many people fired shots. Club patron Mauricio Thompson described a chaotic scene in which as many as 20 shots were fired as people scrambled to get away. He said there was a fight and people were yelling for security to intervene before the gunfire began. Isaac said the club has its own security operation that uses detection wands and pat-downs, but that police believe several firearms got inside. Four officers were working security in the club's parking lot and
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Marijuana advocates are trying to lay the groundwork for Illinois to become the first state in the Midwest and the ninth nationwide to legalize recreational pot, arguing the move will help solve the state's notorious budget crisis. Two Illinois state lawmakers introduced legislation last week that would allow residents 21 and older to possess, grow or buy up to an ounce (28 grams) of marijuana and license businesses to sell marijuana products subject to regulation. They say it would help fill Illinois' multibillion-dollar budget hole with $350 to $700 million in new tax revenue. A national advocacy group, the Marijuana Policy Project, based the estimate on the proposal's $50-per-ounce wholesale tax, Illinois' standard sales tax, federal marijuana consumption data and recreational pot prices in Colorado. The proposal earmarks 50 percent of wholesale revenues for the state's general fund and divides the remaining half 30/20 between education and public health.
Every state to legalize pot to date has done so by voter ballot initiative, according to Chris Lindsey, a legislative analyst with the project. But Illinois advocates are not alone in holding out hope for lawmaker approval. Seventeen other states — including Missouri — are also considering legislative action. Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat who co-sponsored 2014 legislation that legalized medical marijuana in Illinois, is sponsoring the proposal in the House. She said states that legalized marijuana have seen an economic boost from increased tax revenue, new jobs and bolstered tourism. "We're talking about all sorts of ways of raising revenue," Cassidy said, referring to state lawmakers' efforts to break a two-year budget logjam. "We might as well be talking about this, too." But she and fellow Chicago Democrat Sen. Heather Steans, who sponsored legislation that succeeded in decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of pot last year,

ed in stable condition. She had no details on the types of injuries or the ages of the victims. Other injured people were taken to or drove themselves to other hospitals. Authorities asked anyone with information to come forward. Investigators were checking to see if surveillance cameras were working, Williams said. An Associated Press phone call to the club Sunday morning went unanswered. The area is mostly industrial but also home to several nightclubs with a smattering of homes. A regional airport is nearby. The neighborhood is fairly desolate at night, with the exception of the nightlife scene and 24-hour gas stations. The road where the club is located was easily cordoned off by a single police cruiser and officer at either end. First responders had problems reaching the shooting victims because the parking lots were full, Sgt. Eric Franz told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

some tried unsuccessfully to revive the man who died. The club has a history of gun violence, including a shooting inside the club on New Year's Day in 2015 and one in the parking lot in September of that year, City Manager Harry Black said. Police Capt. Kim Williams said there was "just a lot of chaos, obviously, when shots were fired." "Saturday night, it is a very young crowd. We have had incidents here in the past, but this is by far the worst," she said. A single body was removed by the coroner shortly after 6 a.m. A federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives team was also at the scene. Among the injured, five were treated at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and released, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Martin said. She said two people were in critical condition and another two were list-

know their new pitch could be a tough sell. They plan to jumpstart conversations with lawmakers, interest groups and the public this spring but won't move legislation forward in the current session. Key players like the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police currently oppose the measure. Ed Wojcicki, the association's director, called legalizing recreational pot "an enforcement nightmare." He said existing science remains inconclusive about how to best identify impairment on the road and in other compromising situations. Democratic Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie, lead sponsor of the medical marijuana proposal, suggested the staggered timeline could help lawmakers gain a more complete picture of potential benefits and consequences — especially as more data rolls in on Illinois' pilot medical marijuana program, which launched in late 2015. "I do think this might be in Illinois' future," Lang said. "I certainly support the idea of having a discussion."
Illinois legalization advocates like Dan Linn, who directs the state chapter of a nonprofit lobbying group called NORML, have long been working toward this conversation. Linn said states where pot is legal have recorded no uptick in traffic fatalities. Instead of threatening public safety, he contended, regulating the already widely consumed substance will take the business out of the hands of criminals and impose important regulations like quality and age controls. "There's not a drug dealer in this country that asks for an ID when someone's looking to buy drugs," he said. The proposal is launching at a time when the federal government, which still lists marijuana as an illegal drug, is considering ramping up enforcement against recreational use. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said last month his department is reviewing an Obama administration memo that gave states flexibility in passing marijuana laws.

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | REVIEW
Candidates for vice president positions discuss plans By Chrissy Miller Administration Reporter| @DEN_News The student government will have elections for its executive positions Monday and Tuesday. Students will be sent an email in their panthermail letting them vote for the candidates. Derek Pierce and Juan Neveraz are both running for executive vice president. Pierce, current student vice president of student affairs, said as executive vice president, he would work to ensure all voices are heard in the State Capitol and the Board of Trustees. “After serving as vice president of student affairs and talking to various organizations and countless students, I believe I have a firm grasp on our collective concerns,” Pierce said. Piece said he aims to improve overall campus relations with the local community by forming a strong relationship with Charleston and its Chamber of Com merce.
»
On student government, Pierce has been a senator, chair of the business affairs committee and the vice-chair of the Apportionment Board. “In my current role as student vice president of student affairs, I planned Pantherpalooza both semesters and oversaw the allocation of over $420,000 in student fee money,” Pierce said. Juan Nevarez, a senior psychology major, said he will represent the students in front of the Board o f Tr u s t e e s p ro f e s s i o n a l l y a n d maintain constant communication with all organizations on campus. Nevarez said he does not just want to be a voice for students, but faculty as well. “I seek to represent the university down at Springfield by lobbying for the university, as every single faculty member here is family and should be represented as such,” Nevarez said. He said if he gets the position, he would work to fix the senate retention rate and increase ben-
efits for students who are part of Student Senate. “(Low retention rates) affect the effectiveness of the officials responsible to represent the student body,” Nevarez said. Ne v a r e z s a i d h e w o u l d i m prove the experience of students by reaching out to the students on campus and developing a sense of unity. “Students should be open to discussing their issues with me and I will represent every single student on campus,” Nevarez said. The candidates for student vice president of academic affairs are Rebecca Cash and current senator Tarve’a Durant. Cash, a sophomore public relations major, said she would work extensively with the deans of each college to make sure students’ voices are being heard. “Responding to your academic issues will be my top priority,” Cash said. “I want to give more recognition to organizations that are excelling in their academics.”
Cash said she would also like to continue coming up with more ideas and events for “Prowling with the Prez’,” events where students get to interact with Eastern President David Glassman. Cash is currently the treasurer for Sigma Sigma Sigma, executive vice president for the Panhellenic Council and University Board’s concert coordinator. “I have been in charge of multiple different committees due to my involvement in multiple organizations and each committee comes with a vast range of personalities,” Cash said. Durant has been involved with the student government for a year. If elected as student vice president for academic affairs, Durant said he would reach out to students about their thoughts involving academics. Durant said he wants to make students more aware of the process for grade appeals and invite students to attend student government meetings to help educate
students on what student government is and what it does. “I would reach out to RSOs and all of the student body because sometimes they go unnoticed, like the graduate students and international students,” Durant said. Durant said being a senator has helped him to develop skills that will help him to interact with the community. Current senator Zac Cohen is running unopposed for vice president of student affairs. Cohen said during his semester as a senator, he has been able to have an inside eye and observe the current vice president, Pierce, at work. Cohen is now the vice president of the Apportionment Board, a member of Sigma Chi, a member of the Student Action Team and a member of the Student Publications Board.
is we want to be able to offer our students through standard (admissions) a freshman experience where they get the chance to have intrusive advisement,” she said. “They would get an opportunity to attend some of the workshops we offer for our Gateway students….we just want to make it so all of the incoming freshmen get the experience that we think would be beneficial to them.” A meeting between the academic
advisers and Gateway advisers, was held Friday morning to talk about the potential changes. Davenport said both sets of advisers would be meeting on a regular basis in the future to see how the proposal would work. Gateway adviser Yolanda Williams said the meeting consisted of a lot of questions from Gateway advisers. They had heard from other people the change was coming, Wil-
liams said, but this meeting was the first time they had officially heard about the proposal. She said part of her concern about the changes came not from not being sure what is happening, and she also had concerns over how services would be provided. The advisers in Ninth Street Hall are great, Williams said, but the advising styles, program and requirements for students are different. “I really care about this program
and I really care about these students,” Williams said. Davenport said Gateway has always been the same and always will be. “We are as an institution, I think, we’re going to have to make some changes,” Davenport said. “This is one I think is a positive one.”

Abby Carlin
Find time for fun during the last five weeks I feel that, for some, the latter half of the spring semester is a very depressing time. We are stuck between a short break and a three-month-long summer in a time filled with nearly six weeks of final papers, group projects and exams. However, there is no reason to despair, for one has so many opportunities to thoroughly enjoy what springtime in Charleston has to offer. The first thing I would recommend doing is spending an hour or two at the Doudna steps with friends. The steps are a great place to socialize, play guitar, work on homework or eat with one’s peers. However, this time of year, the weather can be rather unpleasant and unpredictable. In the case of a cool, rainy day, Netflix and snacks in your dorm makes a great alternative if the steps are not an option. If you or anyone you know has a car, I would recommend taking the 15-mile trip out of Charleston to visit the world’s fastest soda machine. It is not a hard drive, and then the soda itself only costs 75 cents. Whenever I visit, my friends and I try to catch the soda before it falls to the bottom of the machine. However, I know many of students do not have a car, and even if you do, gas is especially expensive. Though that is unfortunate, instead you may find that an evening with Netflix in a cozy, clean dorm can be just as fun. One of the best parts of childhood was decorating the sidewalks with chalk drawings. Luckily, we live on a campus that tolerates college-sized children to draw on the concrete. A perfect afternoon only requires a bit of sunshine, some chalk and an active imagination. Though, as previously mentioned in this column, sometimes the weather can be pretty terrible. And chalk costs money. And sometimes your imagination is hard to come by when you’re just counting the hours to summer (or even graduation). Perhaps then it is best to stay behind and enjoy a couple episodes of your favorite show on Netflix. Perhaps, if you’re feeling a bit blue, spending an hour or two every few days at the Rec center can help you get back on track with all of your abandoned New Year’s resolutions. I understand that the Rec offers a variety of classes and equipment throughout the day to ensure that every student can find a fun, personalized workout experience. But maybe your gym shoes have a hole in them, or do not seem to fit your feet all that well anymore. Or maybe you had a big lunch and you just want to make up the workout later, or tomorrow, or next week. In that case, maybe watching a movie or two on Netflix would give you time to digest or wait to find a new pair of shoes. March and April are probably the worst months of the year, but maybe, this year we can take it a little bit easier. Instead of counting down the days until move out, work ahead and finish a little bit of your long-term projects every day. That way, once the weather gets nicer or the classes get more intense, you will have more time to do things like sitting on the Dounda Steps or using sidewalk chalk. I myself am only a sophomore, but I would like to make a quick shout-out to all of my graduating friends out there and a reminder that these are your last few weeks of your college career. Remember to take time for yourself and enjoy being a Panther, because finals, summer and graduation cannot seem to come quick enough for some, but for others, all too quickly.

Journalistic ethics guide writing, print The editorial staff of The Daily Eastern News is still growing. Everyone whose hands touch the daily paper before it reaches newsstands (save Tom, our pressman) is a student. As a result, we make mistakes. Sometimes we misprint information and sometimes we miss grammatical errors and sometimes we misspell names. But we try to stick close to our code of ethics. We would like to believe that we do not make ethical mistakes as often as we make grammatical mistakes because journalistic ethics are so near to the center of what we do. The code of ethics that The News follows is the Society for Professional Journalists’ version. It highlights four basic principles: seeking and reporting the truth, minimizing harm, acting independently and being accountable and transparent. Each of these principles is clarified with more specific points. The SPJ’s Code of Ethics makes it clear that journalism should be a profession that high-
lights accuracy and fairness in information, respect for all people involved in the news process (from sources to journalists to readers) and responsibility and responsiveness to the public. We realize that journalists are frequently characterized as conniving, sneaky sorts, taking handouts from corporations and tailoring the news to fit our preexisting agendas, even if it means distorting or dismantling the truth. We also realize that these ethical failures do exist and that some journalists are really that selfserving. However, we are not those journalists. We take ethics seriously and believe developing a deep, comprehensive sense of ethics is one of the most important parts of learning to be a journalist. The Code of Ethics is far too long to editorialize in one short piece. We would, though, like to highlight some of the portions of the Code that we hold dearest to our hearts, and the ones that we think are more pertinent to
the opinion page. The Code encourages us to “support the open and civil exchange of views, even views [we] find repugnant.” The opinion page celebrates differences of view and interest, and the writers who are featured on this page come from many walks of life and ideologies. Additionally, the Code asks us to “give voice to the voiceless” and to “seek… voices we seldom hear.” We want to be a mouthpiece for interesting stories from interesting people. We want to be accurate and fair at all times. We understand that we do not always make these goals But we are working towards a better News. We encourage our readers to review the Code of Ethics and understand what guides us as journalists and as public servants.

Pitfalls: print journalism is not infallible
Last week I discussed the importance of being cautious when encountering direct quotations in print sources. Fortunately, it is usually easy to double-check cherry-picked quotes to see if they accurately represent the author’s views. The same problem exists in any kind of print journalism, whether in a traditional newspaper or online blog. But some journalistic conventions make it more difficult for readers to know what the person being interviewed really thinks. Journalists are taught to prioritize in-person interviews over email interviews, for instance, and there are plenty of good reasons behind it. Interviewees talk more naturally than over email, making it easier to understand, whereas emails may be written in an unnatural style to hide the truth or promote their organization. Reporters can also pick up information from body language, tone of voice and the surrounding environment that are not available through email. The assumption is that people reveal their truest selves face-to-face, but this is not necessarily true. Some people may become nervous or intimidated by speaking with a reporter. Others are simply better at written than verbal communication, myself included. I need time to gather my thoughts, carefully choose my words and double-check my facts. I am not very accurate or articulate when I am put on the spot, even when asked about subjects I am knowledgeable about. One of journalism’s roles is to be the watch-
Leon Mire dog for public interest, which may partly explain the preference for in-person over email interviews. I agree that elected officials and others in power should be put on the spot. But that has its own drawbacks, because then they avoid interviews as much as possible so as not to fall into the dreaded “gotcha” moments. Even when all parties are acting in good faith, miscommunication can occur. People just do not speak in perfectly coherent, grammatically correct English, so reporters must paraphrase. This is often more challenging than it sounds, especially since nonverbal cues like sarcasm are difficult to convey accurately. Reporters and editors must also make decisions about punctuation when they translate from spoken word to print, which can change the meaning significantly. Other conventions contribute to the possibility of miscommunication between interviewee and reader. Reporters are taught to avoid being a charac-
ter in their own story and instead become an invisible observer, which keeps the article focused on the interviewee and helps curb subjective bias. But it also means that direct quotes from interviewees lose much of their context. The interviewee did not speak those words spontaneously; it is usually in response to a question asked by the reporter. The question that prompted the answer, however, is rarely printed. Many readers not familiar with journalistic style may assume that stories are written in roughly chronological order, but this is not the case. Instead, it usually follows the “inverted pyramid,” where the most important information is placed at the top and the least important at the bottom. This makes it easier for readers to scan over an article quickly, but it also scrambles the order of events and may cause the reader to infer unintended connections between nearby paragraphs. None of this is to suggest that print journalism as a whole cannot be trusted. Every news medium has its own pitfalls, and miscommunication is an inevitable side effect. Both reporters and editors are trained to look out for those pitfalls and to ask critical questions to ensure accuracy. But readers should still take caution, whether they are opening up The Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, or The Daily Eastern News. Leon Mire is a senior philosophy and English major.

Elections Workgroup hears master’s degree proposal »CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
By Kalyn Hayslett Editor-in-Chief | @DEN_News
Eric Davidson, interim director of Health Service, proposed three possible offerings for a master’s program in college health promotion during a meeting for Workgroup No. 8, Academic Visioning I. Davidson suggested combining both the master’s in college student affairs and the master’s of science health promotion and leadership into a 3-year dual master’s program. According to the academic catalog, both masters’ programs offer similar courses, including HST 5810: Research Methods for Health Professionals and CSD 5505: Research Methods in College Student Affairs. “Instead of the student taking two different (statistics) classes from two different departments, they take one stats course if they have to do a thesis in the student college affairs program and a thesis in the health promotion program, instead of doing two theses, combining those two projects into one and kind of giving them the credit,” Davidson said. Davidson also proposed two forms of college health certificates. One certificate will mainly cater to students interested in either a master’s in college student affairs or health promotion and leadership programs, because the certificate will offer courses that are required in both.
The other certificate would not have any connection to the two master’s degrees, so students with different majors and interests could participate in it. If the workgroup decides to recommend a certificate or a dual master’s degree program, it will allow Eastern to offer a graduate program that is not provided by any other higher learning institution, Davidson said. Nora Pat Small, interim chair of the history department, said workgroup members should focus on how sustainable the proposed programs are to ensure increased enrollment for years to come instead of looking at what is “cool” now. “I like the idea of thinking about sustainability, because this didn’t happen overnight that we are at this critical low enrollment,” Small said. “We have to recognize that it is going to take a number of years to regain and grow to the size we want to grow to.” The program in health promotion was proposed out of a perceived need, because most employers in the health promotion field expect candidates to have a master’s degree, Davidson said. “The need for the field is growing; interestingly, the academic preparation has not followed. I have tried to see if there are any master’s degree programs that offer a specialty, that offer a concentration, that offer a certificate,” Davidson said. “I was able to fine none.” Davidson said offering a graduate program could
increase enrollment by capturing students who are interested in getting a master’s degree. “Students are going through these undergraduate degrees and probably have to make a choice-‘Am I going to continue with my health education route and hope that I get the job, or will I go to a college of student affairs type program?’” Davidson said. This was the last presentation the workgroup will hear. Workgroup members will use the information from all the presentations to complete its final recommendations. Workgroup chair Jeff Stowell said members will look at the program proposals and determine how it will impact enrollment because this is the workgroup’s focus. “We will use the data that we have to make our best judgment on how it will affect future enrollment growth over time,” Stowell said. The workgroup will focus on groups of related program fields, particularly in health, business, agriculture and education. The next meeting, when the group will discuss the formal structure of its recommendations, is set for 2 p.m. in room 2118 of Blair Hall.
The ballroom was completely full, with people having to stand in order to watch the show. After intermission there was still a line of people wanting to get in. Many attendees were friends and family of the models as well people who were fans of the clothing lines. Those who attended also received a glass coaster as a party favor. The models meet on Tuesdays and Thursday at 1 p.m. in the basement of Andrews Hall. That is where they practice their runway walk and techniques.
Young’s plan to improve communication between the student government and students includes the creation of a presidential cabinet. This cabinet would consist of different fraternities and sororities on campus, students from different registered student organizations and a diverse group of students. The third candidate for student body president, Williams, is a former student senator who resigned out of frustration over what he calls ineffective leadership in Student Senate, which made other senators leave. If elected, Williams wants to address the senate’s retention rates. “Too many senators leave the senate because they feel unwelcome and are faced with too many strict requirements that interfere with their class work,” Williams said. “I will work with the executive board to reform these requirements so that more senators will want to stay on board.” As an AmeriCorps VISTA alumnus, he had to coordinate the effort of a statewide anti-poverty initiative. He said this gave him the experience to manage Eastern’s budget, recruit talented volunteers and ensure that student government can produce results. He plans to reach out to the media to fight for higher education funding. “When our state leaders fail us, or call groups such as Fund EIU ‘crazy,’ I will make sure the media is reporting upon these failures,” Williams said. “(Gov.)Bruce Rauner, (Sen.) Dale Righter, and (Rep.) Reggie Phillips work for us, not the other way around.” Williams said as president, he would reassure minority students and members of the LGBTQ community that the student government will stand against federal policies and rhetoric that he said unfairly target members of the university. “College is meant to be a time of learning and growing, and nobody should spend college living in fear,” Williams said.

Couture features Chicago fashion By Angelica Cataldo Managing Editor | @DEN_News The Couture Models of EIU strutted down the runway donning black-owned Chicago fashion lines Friday night in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Ballroom. However, clothing was not the only showcased at the fashion show that Friday. Painting and music were also part of the show. Cydne Garrett and Shadezja Garrett emceed the event, while DJ Gabby provided the musical entertainment for the show. Before the intermission there was also a rapper and painter who
performed together. The spring Fashion Friday Show featured Chicago based clothing lines including Traperella, Rich So, Dream Collection.Co, Lady Killer, Tony D. Banks, Designer Zoh and Slayhouse. Choosing black-owned clothing lines was part of Couture Model’s President Andrianna Fullerton’s effort to support blacks and other minorities. The clothing lines featured many designs ranging from casual dress to semi-formal attire. One clothing line, Dream Collection.CO had an artists physically paint a design on a white dress as if it were a canvas. The line, Lady Killer, is owned by Eastern Alumni Orlando Thomas.

While the majority of this movie was trying to be grounded and somewhat gritty, Elizabeth B a n k s’ r o l e a s t h e e v i l R i t a Repulsa was straight out of the ‘90s show. I typically enjoy Banks’ acting, but she really delivered the cheese this time around. This was symbolic of the main issue with the movie: tone shifts. Scenes jumped from sci-fi to action to drama too often, which was incredibly jarring to watch. I liked most of the scenes by themselves, but they did not mix

Panthers loses to Eastern Kentucky By Parker Valentine Women’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Panthers continued Ohio Valley Conference play Friday against Eastern Kentucky. The Panthers started off the day strong, as they clinched the doubles point early. Senior Kamile Stadalninkaite and freshman Shelby Anderson won their doubles match in dominant fashion. The duo defeated Marina Marti Hernanz and Raquel Montalvo Perez in a sweep 6-0. Freshman Emily Pugachevsky and sophomore Shristi Slaria clinched the doubles point for the Panthers. The pair defeated Laura Argente Escamilla and Sagung Putri Dwinta by a score of 6-4. Pugachevsky and Slaria have been the Panther’s most productive doubles team this season as they own a record of 7-3 on the year when paired together. Freshman Stella Cliffe and senior Kelly Iden rounded out the doubles card for the match. The duo was defeated by Kristina Lagoda and Viktorija Demcenkova 7-5. The Panthers seemed to run out of steam when singles play began.
SEAN HASTINGS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Kelly Iden returns the ball in her singles match Friday at the Darling Courts. Iden won her singles match 7-5, 7-6 and (7-5).
Iden started things off for the Panthers from her No. 1 spot. The senior defeated Lagoda in a hard fought three set match 7-5, 7-6, 7-5. The win puts Iden at 10 wins for the season, joining Cliffe as the second Panther to reach double-digit victories this season. Iden is in the midst of one of her stron-
gest campaigns with the Panthers. In her fourth and final spring season, she appreciates conference play more than ever. “I enjoy the heightened level of competition (in OVC play) because it brings a vibrant, indescribable environment,” Iden said. “We not only compete on the courts together, but we also positively cheer for
each other and form a stronger bond.” The Panthers did not have much luck after that victory though. Eastern Kentucky bounced back from an early deficit, as they earned a win from the next three spots, as well as at No. 6. The Colonels defeated Cliffe, Slaria, and seniors Maria Moshteva and Stadalninkaite in the No. 2, 3, 4, and 6 spots respectively. The Panthers next singles victory came from Pugachevsky, who finds herself on a three-match winning streak. Pugachevsky defeated Margaux Lacroix in a grueling third set, 2-6, 6-3, 10-8 to notch her third win in a row. The defeat Friday puts the Panthers at 9-6 on the season and 1-2 in conference play. The Panthers continue OVC play next weekend. They are set to take on Belmont Friday the 31st and Tennessee State Saturday, April 1st. Both matches are set to take place in Nashville with play set to begin at 2 p.m. Friday. Parker Valentine can be reached at 5812812 or at pivalentine@eiu.edu.
Track, field runs away with 27 top-5 finishes By Kaitlin Cordes Track and Field Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s track and field team posted just two first-place finishes at the Bill Cornell Classic in Carbondale this weekend but snagged 27 top-five combined finishes. Seniors Ruth Garripo and Bryn Buckwalter took home the only top honors for the Panthers in the 5,000-meter run and the shot put, respectively. Garippo finished in 18 minutes, 00.34 seconds. Buckwalter tied with Northern Iowa’s Allison Griffin as each athlete tossed the shot put 45’3”. The highest individual finishers for the men were sophomores Ashton Wilson and Clayton Turner. Wilson earned the silver in the high jump after clearing 6’6.25”, and
Turner placed second in the javelin throw with a 140’1.25” toss. The men’s 4x100-meter relay team also picked up a second-place win. Sophomores Brandan Lane, Ja’Marcus Townsend and Michael Miller and senior Jamal Robinson coasted through the race in just 41.28 seconds. Robinson was also third in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.83 seconds. Lane was fifth in the same event with a time of 10.96 seconds. Miller earned points with his fourthplace, 400-meter finish of 49.19 seconds. The women’s 4x400-meter relay team finished third with a time of 4:04.39. Seniors Julie James, Kristen Paris and Tori Master and freshmen Sophia Keith were all a part of the relay squad.
Junior Stephanie Dominguez sailed over the 400-meter hurdles to earn fifth with a time of 1:07.41. Junior Brion Portis and sophomore Shirley Jones rounded out the women’s top five finishes for the day. Portis was third in the triple jump, covering 39’6.50”, and Jones placed fifth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 59.62 seconds. Seniors Riley McInerney and Riley Kittridge and junior Myles Foor provided Eastern with a third-place performance a piece.

Women’s golf team places 11th at Carbondale By Adam Shay Women’s Golf Reporter | @DEN_Sports After 36 straight holes on the Hickory Ridge Golf Club course, the Eastern Illinois women’s golf team placed 11th at the Southern Illinois University Saluki Invitational with a score of 660. The Panthers finished three spots higher from their 14th place finish last weekend, while also finishing strong with a 12 stroke improvement from their first round total of 336 to 324 second round total. Leading the Panthers was junior Anne Bahr who tied for 24th place. In the first round, Bahr shot an 84 which was 12 strokes over par. However, Bahr had a seven stroke improvement in the second
round, shooting a 77 and totaling her score to 163. Bahr said she didn’t have to make any adjustments to improve her score. She settled into a rhythm after the fourth hole of the first round. “I didn’t make any adjustments from the first round,” Bahr said. “The nice thing about 36 holes is that it keeps going. 8 of my 12 strokes from my first round came in my first four holes, after that I settled in and continued through the day.” Senior Chloe Wong also made improvements from her first round score of 84. Wong improved five strokes and scored a 79 second round total, making her total score 165 and placing her tied for 35th. Throughout the 36 holes, Wong said it
was her positivity and consistent tee shots that helped lower her score. “I stayed positive and made sure I was focused on each shot,” Wong said. “I felt really comfortable over the ball and was consistent with my tee shots.” For the rest of the Panthers, senior Madison Burgett tied for 42nd with a total of 165, followed by senior Alexandra Pickens who tied for 55th scoring a 171 total. Senior Erika Von Itter rounded out the five Panther golfers, finishing 72nd with a total of 189. Pickens said it was her tee shots that caused her problems this weekend. “I need to work on my tee shots,” Pickens said. “They put me in some trouble today.”

Panthers make comeback wins look easy By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports It is not something the Panthers want to make a habit of, but when facing an early deficit, they were able to erase that and come out with the win. Two out of the four wins the Panthers picked up were comeback victories. The Panthers went 3-1 over the weekend against Belmont and Tennessee State. Eastern lost the opener against Belmont 4-3 in the seventh, won 3-1 in the second game, 5-3 against Tennessee State in game one and 9-1 in the second game. Tennessee State scored twice in the top of the first inning in the first game against the Panthers on Sunday, but after that, the Panthers’ bats came alive and they eventually pulled out a 5-3 win. Eastern was able to do it with two outs to score both runs in the first. With a two-run lead and two outs, Danica Gleason was given an inning-ending groundball, but she booted it and the inning continued. Freshman Mia Davis reached on the play and was driven in on freshman Haley Mitchell’s double to right center and she was driven in on Friday night’s hero Amber Toenyes. That was not the only time Eastern trailed it that game and had to piece together a comeback. Courtney Geralds laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt in the third inning to score Kasey Cox and give Tennessee State a 3-2 lead. Cox led off the inning with a double. Eastern had an answer. It scored three runs in the bottom half of the third to take the lead. “Today, the first inning was a huge wake-up call for our team,” coach Kim Schuette said. “It wasn’t looking too good for our team. I kind of got on them a little bit, but they responded in the bottom of the first and came back with two runs right away. That was good because

that is starting to show me some toughness.” What helped Eastern Sunday against Tennessee State was having lively bats from the whole lineup. But that was not the case Friday against Belmont. Wind was blowing in hard in the first game and died down a bit for the second, but it was still enough to play against Eastern’s hitters until the sixth inning. The Panthers had just one hit in the game until they pieced togeth-
er a three-hit inning capped off with, once again, a two out three-run home run by Toenyes. Wind blowing it, the mindset was to keep the ball on the ground or line drive. And the way her home run went out, was a version of a line drive. It was a shot that left the field quickly. “That’s not my usual home run. Usually it’s like towering, but I’m glad it was like that because I don’t think it would have went out if it was too high,” Toenyes said.
She has six home runs on the year. The comeback wins are fun for the team to play in and fun to watch, but playing with a lead is more comfortable, Schuette said. And despite having put the Panthers in a hole early, the pitching held the team together for most of the weekend. And that is where it starts for Eastern to not have to be the comeback kids every game. “Whenever you’re the home team, that pitcher is going to set the tone and I think both our pitchers are
OK with that but now the defense has to realize that they’re going to set the tone, just not the pitcher and that was the big wake-up call in the first game (Sunday),” Schuette said. Juniors Jessica Wireman and Michelle Rogers pitched all 26 innings this weekend. Wireman picked up two wins and Rogers earned a win as well. Both pitchers have ERAs below 3.00 Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
Eastern wins game three of weekend series By Tyler McCluskey Assistant Sports Editor | @McCluskeySports
The Eastern baseball team had a wild weekend in their scheduling of their games against Murray State. What would have been a doubleheader, game two was cut short in the seventh inning due to darkness because Coaches Stadium does not have lights, leading to another “doubleheader” on Saturday. In the final game of the series, the Racers started the second inning with a leadoff double by Tyler Lawrence and following that, Ryan Perkins reached first on a dropped-third-strike by a throw that overshot the first basemen by redshirt junior Justin Smith which allowed Lawrence to score. The Panthers would end up having three errors, two of which came in the fourth inning. But those defensive errors would later mean nothing when there was a 4-6-3 double play that came in the eighth inning that saved the Racers from scoring to cut the lead down to one. “We didn’t play good defense and we didn’t throw enough strikes,” coach Jason Anderson said. The Panthers were tied going into the bottom of the seventh inning at five when junior Logan Beaman drew a walk. Junior Dougie Parks then saw a slider coming on the inside corner from Murray State’s Chance Carner and a strike was called. “I knew that pitcher was working slider away a lot on our guys. I saw a lot of

guy flailing, missing pitches up, and so I was thinking ‘I was a four hitter. I know he’s probably going to come at me with a slider,’” Parks said. “So I waited on the slider and hit it to right field. Good things happen I guess.”
The next pitch was that slider away and Parks got the extension on his hands that he needed to score the runner at first with a triple. Parks’ triple sparked the goahead run and the Panthers would not look back.
“That was definitely big for the team,” Parks said. “Tie, 5-5 ballgame, just kind of waiting for anybody who is going to get the big hit and drive in the go-ahead run. I’m happy in this game it ended up being us in the end.”
The Panthers would end up winning 7-5. In the second game, it was another Panther comeback but this time, it did not have the same outcome. The Racers were up 6-0 in the fifth inning when the Panthers started a comeback. The Panthers scored five straight runs. Smith and redshirt Frankie Perrone singled to start off the inning then junior Andrew Curran tripled in the two runs then junior Joseph Duncan hit a two-run homerun. The Panther bats kept it coming even in the next inning. The Racers got three runs in the top of the sixth, but the Panthers answered right back with another five run inning to take the lead 109. The game would get suspended in the seventh and continue in the eighth inning the next day. The Racers would tie the game up in the eighth and would take the win with an RBI triple from Adam Bauer. Despite the two losses, coach Anderson was still pleased with the fight the Panthers had in them in this series. “This team just don’t quit,” Anderson said. “To be ahead seven runs, we give away that game in game one, game two we’re down big and have a lead late, pretty much give that one away too. To be down four or five runs in the third game and to stick with it and win it, it’s impressive that these guys don’t give in. I’m excited to see where we take it from here.” Tyler McCluskey can be reached at 581-2812 or at trmccluskey@eiu.edu.
