CUPB discusses athletics budget By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman
JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
President Glassman and diversity committee member, Samara Abdoulaye Pedila discussed issues affecting minority groups on campus of Eastern Saturday in the Charleston/Mattoon room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Glassman talks diversity with students By Chrissy Miller Administration Reporter | @DEN_News Students expressed concerns about discrimination students face from police, in campus housing and the Greek community during a forum with Eastern President David Glassman. Glassman said making all students feel welcome and that diverse groups felt they had a voice in the community was important. “We want to do our very best to be proactive and to do the things that are necessary in order for respect and inclusion to take place for everybody on this campus,” Glassman said. Glassman said he wants students to know there is a presidential task force on
diversity whose goal is to make the campus as inclusive as possible. Maya Lee, a sophomore sociology major, said one issue she sees on campus is that housing arrangements seem to be based on race. Lee said one example would be the differences between Thomas Hall and Taylor Hall. When Lee saw that Taylor houses predominantly minority students and Thomas houses mostly white students, she said, it discouraged her. “Having that division automatically eliminates opportunities for real diversity,” Lee said. “When you do that, it limits the chance for exposure to people of different backgrounds so you’re automatically setting people up to stay closed into one group.”
JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Catherine Polydore, professor of counseling and student development spoke to students during the Help Me, Help You session Saturday.
Lee said besides Thomas Hall having nicer furniture and equipment, having the Honors floor housed there also seems discriminatory. “I just feel like that sends a very wrong message to have the predominantly white hall being the one that has the Honors floor, because when you look deeper what does that really say?” Lee asked. Glassman responded that housing was based not on race, but rather on seniority. He said Taylor Hall was already scheduled to have its lobby remodeled this summer. “We don’t have the money to do all of (the halls) at the same time, so we stagger them,” Glassman said. “But that’s been approved for over the summer, so if you’re living in Taylor and you come back next fall, you’re going see a beautiful lobby.” Dameon Cooks, a junior Africana Studies major, said even if unintentional, this grouping of minority students is detrimental to their growth. “If you’ve got everybody from these same neighborhoods and you bunch them all together, it’s like we’re still in the same neighborhood,” Cooks said. “For these incoming freshmen that come to college to get this diverse type of feel, it’s not fair to them when we’re living in the dorm room we’re still like the South Side of Chicago.” Cooks also brought up discrimination by the University Police Department against minority students. Cooks said officers seemed to fine and ticket minority students more for things of little significance, like having a chair out on their porch in University Court. Cooks said he has tried going to the director of his residence hall with these issues, but he was dismissed. Catherine Polydore, a professor in counseling and student development, said she has witnessed some of this discrimination by University Police officers. One graduate student told her police followed him one day for no reason and questioned why he was going so many different plac-
es.
“It is within his right to go wherever as long as he wasn’t doing anything illegal,” Polydore said. “So, it happened multiple times.” Hillary Fuller, a member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority, said discrimination is prominent in the Greek community as well. Fuller said her sorority recently learned they were being called “Little Africa.” “The (National Pan-Hellenic Council) building is where we live, it’s our home,” Fuller said. “It’s really insulting because I have to walk past these two-story, grand Greek houses and they come into my one-story Greek house, which I have a lot of pride in and call us ‘Little Africa’ for just living.” Fuller said using this is a slur because it is meant to imply savagery. “It’s not like I’m embracing my culture,” Fuller said. “It’s more like you spit on mine.” Glassman said he needs to look into the inclusivity of Greek Week because African-American sororities and fraternities did not participate in it. “If there are reasons as to why the Black fraternities are not participating in Greek Week… I’d like to know about it,” Glassman said. “I’d like to see it be holistic.” Glassman said it will take time to address all these issues and create a truly inclusive university but he will do everything in his power to make the campus experience a positive one for all students. “Inclusion isn’t a light switch that you can turn on and all of a sudden everybody accepts it, everybody embraces it and everybody moves towards it,” Glassman said. “It’s something that takes steps to move forward and bring people together.” Chrissy Miller can be reached at 581-2812 or clmiller9@eiu.edu.
A possible athletics deficit and steps the department is taking to fix it were brought up at a meeting of the Council on University Planning and Budgeting Friday. As of March 31, when the budget report for athletics came out, the ending fund balance showed a deficit of $838,440. There are currently $523,170 in expenses that still need to be paid out, but these encumbrances could still be reduced, Paul McCann, interim vice president for business affairs, said. The athletics department also expects to receive about $1 million from the NCAA in the summer and to make a transfer from the Panther Club for $250,000. There is also $68,000 of unencumbered money in the appropriated budget and other encumbrances that the athletics department is looking at for possible reductions, Athletics Director Tom Michael said. Michael said at this point in time, when working with these encumbrances, there is a potential deficit of less than $50,000. “In general, we anticipate being very close to breaking even,” McCann said. “There is a possibility we might be have a deficit of the year of about $50,000, (but we’re) still working to try to eliminate that.” CUPB chair Kathlene Shank, chair of the department of special education, asked what the department has that it could cut in light of the possible $50,000 deficit. Michael said this is what the athletics department is looking at. Along with looking at how to reduce encumbrances, he said, it is also hoping to raise money at fundraisers such as the Spring Fling. “We’re trying to look at every possible way to reduce and raise more money,” Michael said. McCann said the way these encumbrances works is that at the beginning of the year, there is an estimate set of what each expense is going to be. The university might say it is going to spend a certain amount during the year on some expenses but it might not get there, he said, meaning there will be dollars left on some encumbrance contracts. “We will have some extra money in those line items (on the budget),” McCann said. Michael said as everyone takes on more duties and responsibilities across the university, intercollegiate athletics is no different.

TANTA, Egypt (AP) — Suicide bombers struck hours apart at two Coptic churches in northern Egypt, killing 44 people and turning Palm Sunday services into scenes of horror and outrage at the government that led the president to call for a threemonth state of emergency. The Islamic State group claimed re s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r t h e v i o l e n c e , adding to fears that extremists are shifting their focus to civilians, especially Egypt's Christian minority. The attacks in the northern cities of Tanta and Alexandria that also left 126 people wounded came at the start of Holy Week leading up to Easter, and just weeks before Pope Francis is due to visit. Pope Tawadros II, the leader of the Coptic church who will meet with Francis on April 28-29, was in the Alexandra cathedral at the time of the bombing but was unhurt, the Interior Ministry said.
It was the single deadliest day for Christians in decades and the worst since a bombing at a Cairo church in December killed 30 people. L a t e Su n d a y n i g h t , Pre s i d e n t Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for a three-month state of emergency. According to Egypt's constitution, parliament must vote in favor of such a declaration — a virtual certainty since it is packed with supporters of the president. It cannot exceed six months without a referendum to extend it. The first bomb exploded inside St. George's Church in Tanta, killing at least 27 people and wounding 78, officials said, overturning pews, shattering windows and staining the whitewashed walls with blood. Video from inside the church broadcast by CBC TV showed people gathered around what appeared to be lifeless, bloody bodies covered with papers. Several doors had been blown
Trump advisers: US seeks to fight IS and oust Syria President Assad WA S H I N G TO N ( A P ) — President Donald Trump's national s e c u r i t y a d v i s e r o n Su n d a y l e f t open the possibility of additional U.S. military action against Syria following last week's missile strike but indicated that the United States was not seeking to act unilaterally to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. In his first televised interview, H.R. McMaster pointed to dual U.S. goals of defeating the Islamic State group and removing Assad. But he suggested that Trump was seeking a global political response for regime change from U.S. allies as well as Russia, which he said needed to re-evaluate its support of
Syria. "It's very difficult to understand how a political solution could result from the continuation of the Assad re g i m e , " Mc Ma s t e r s a i d . " Now, we are not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect that change. What we are saying is, other countries have to ask themselves some hard questions. Russia should ask themselves ...Why are we supporting this murderous regime that is committing mass murder of its own population?"

A f e w h o u r s l a t e r, a s u i c i d e bomber rushed toward St. Mark's Cathedral in the coastal city of Alexandria, the historic seat of Christendom in Egypt, killing at least 17 people and wounding 48.

State Rex Tillerson said "steps are underway" to organize a coalition to remove him from power. But as lawmakers called on Trump to consult with Congress on any future military strikes and a longer-term strategy on Syria, Trump administration officials sent mixed signals on the scope of U.S. involvement. While Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, described regime change i n Sy r i a a s a U . S . p r i o r i t y a n d inevitable, Tillerson suggested that last week's American airstrikes in retaliation for the chemical attack hadn't really changed U.S. priorities toward ousting Assad.
Legislators want to rein in property confiscation laws SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois legislators are joining a national flurry of efforts to curb laws that allow police to confiscate property even if the owner isn't convicted of a crime. The contentious practice permits law enforcement to permanently seize vehicles, cash and other property associated with i l l e g a l a c t i v i t y a n d p ro f i t f ro m i t . T h e Il l i n o i s p ro p o s a l w o u l d allow the Prairie State to join 12 other states in requiring a criminal conviction to formally confiscate assets.
NEIU will close for 3 full days CHICAGO (AP) — Northeastern Illinois University will shut down for three days this month due to a major shortfall stemming from the state's budget crisis. The Chicago-based school announced Friday it'll close all locations and continue an employee f u r l o u g h p r o g r a m o n Ap r i l 1 1 , April 12 and May 1 in addition to canceling classes. The move is an attempt to help make up for state support stalled amid Illinois' two-year budget logjam. T h e c l o s u re w i l l a f f e c t a b o u t 10,000 students and 1,100 staff members. Services like computer labs and child care will also be unavailable. Interim President Richard Helldobler says he does not know how much longer the university can survive this "financial starvation." This is the second time Northeastern has required employees to take unpaid days off since the state budget impasse began in mid-2015.

EIU Foundation honors three alumni By Jason Hardimon Staff Reporter | @DEN_News
sity Development, said one of the more important aspects of the ceremony is the interaction between students and donors. “The donors get a chance to interact with the students whose lives they personally affect and the students get a chance to thank them personally,” Pschirrer said. Frida Arellano, a senior political science major, said the generosity of Eastern’s alumni made earning a college degree possible for her. “I can say proudly that if it w e re n’t f o r y o u r g e n e r o s i t y, I wouldn’t be here today,” Arellano said in a speech. Arellano is the daughter of agricultural laborers from Texas. She said while she has her family’s support, the scholarships she received were vital to her success. “Instead of working two jobs full-time, I was able to work parttime jobs. It allowed me to focus more on school,” Arellano said. Arellano now plans to attend law school in 2018. Gosselin, a vice president for the customer services support division at Caterpillar Inc., said most of his contributions have gone to students in the Lumpkin College of Business. “That is my primary passion and area of focus,” Gosselin said.
The EIU Foundation celebrated scholarship and exceptional generosity Friday as Eastern continues to weather the Illinois budget impasse. One-hundred and fifteen donors and 30 students were in attendance as the foundation honored Steve Gosselin, who earned a bachelor’s degree from Eastern in 1979 along with Randall Wright and his wife Brenda, who both earned bachelor’s degrees in 1970, with the 2017 Burnham and Nancy Neal Outstanding Philanthropist Awards at the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Michael Murray, director of university development, said Eastern’s donors play a critical role in securing the future of the university. “Without people like this, the university would be suffering even more than we are right now,” Murray said. “Everyone is aware of the plight that we face with the state of Illinois and the lack of a budget and lack of funding and so forth. Any support coming in right now — financial support and moral support, for that matter—is really important.” Cara Pschirrer, director of donor relations in the Office of Univer-

Gosselin said while serving as an executive-in-residence for the College of Business, he decided he wanted to fund study abroad programs. “We are teaching global business, global marketing, all of those programs… but the students I was speaking to either had never been overseas or never had any experience overseas,” Gosselin said. “I wanted to provide kids an opportunity to gain that experience.” Gosselin said he owes much of his success to Eastern. “I got a very good education, but I would openly say that I got equally as much value from the influence Eastern had on my perspectives on people, on relationships, on life in general,” Gosselin said. Gosselin declined to disclose the amount of his contributions, but said he has given more than the minimum requirement for the award – $50,000 over a lifetime. “At this point, I give an annual amount,” Gosselin said. “And now everything is targeted at the study abroad program to help build the principle for that program, as well as fund the current years.” Randall Wright, a retired deputy vice president for Texas General Hospital in Houston, explained why giving to the physics depart-

Happy National Library Week
Staff Editorial
Nearly two weeks ago, Eastern police chief Kent Martin announced that the University Police Department would be streamlining parking rules and regulations. The biggest change proposed is to eliminate the distinction between underclassman and upperclassman parking, so that freshman and sophomores can now park in any of the areas with green parking signs labeled as “Staff/Student Parking.” Some juniors and seniors may be concerned that they will not be able to find a good parking spot, now that any student can park in their spots. But this is not likely to happen at Eastern. Freshmen are required to live on campus, so their cars will usually be left near their residence hall unless they have a class on the other side of campus. Most of the time, they will simply walk to class since Eastern is such a small campus. Many freshmen do not even have cars, because with the Panther Shuttle, they so rarely need to use one. The same situation mostly applies to sophomores, although some will be commuting from off campus. But the population of sophomores is generally the smallest, because not all freshmen come back. About 71% of freshmen return for a second year, according to Eastern’s statistics on the retention rate, which is pretty normal. That may be offset slightly by transfer students, but most have already taken enough credit hours to be a junior anyway. The only parking lot that might be strongly affected is the lot across from Buzzard Hall and Doudna Fine Arts Center, since it was a small lot with only upperclassman parking. Juniors and seniors accustomed to parking in that lot may find it filling up quickly in the morning. However, this slight inconvenience will be offset by the benefit to new students. Freshmen, especially early in their first semester, are likely to be confused trying to figure out where they can park. Parking fines are supposed to be a deterrent, not a source of income, so making the parking regulations simpler will ultimately make their college experience less frustrating.

DANIEL FOX | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Hypermasculinity: a fraught gender expression I am all for the random destruction of material items. Lighting a stick on fire? Cool. Someone accidently threw a baseball through his or her neighbor’s widow? Awesome. Watching a bunch of frat boys destroy an old car during a party? Hilarious. Iconic. I love it. On Saturday afternoon, a beautiful, gorgeous day, I spent a good deal of time watching select members of a certain fraternity destroy a car. It was not like they just threw a beer at it or kicked a tire; they completely demolished the thing. What began as one boy climbing the top of a singular car gave way to a display of acrobatic leaps and soaring karate kicks (soaring through the air at 180 degrees), smashing into a windshield in a mess of broken glass and blood. There was a kid who body/shoulder-slammed a sunroof WWE-style. The party encouraged the boys, and the frenzy only fed the fire, attracting more boys and causing more damage inflicted, and so on. I watched as they scraped their skin, sprained their wrists and potentially dislocating their shoulders, for what? I do not know. I do not understand, but I loved it. This, however, is only a single example of how men seem to draw attention to themselves individually, but especially in big groups. For some reason, society turns a blind eye to the idiocy that is a group of guys saying, “let’s do this really dumb thing,” and everyone else saying, “oh, that sounds like a bad idea… I better record it.” I do not mean to sound critical, because
Abby Carlin I celebrate expression and the bonding of a people with and through any activity (so long as it is not at the expense of anyone else). These shows of brute hypermasculinity display strength, courage and perseverance. Anyone who has ever tried to smash a windshield knows that it does not break easily, let alone trying to do it without the aid of a baseball bat or a crowbar. What happened Saturday afternoon was a beautiful depiction of the perseverance of the human body. It was a showcase of men pushing their bodies to the limit—truly a display of man versus machine. The scene was chaotic, hilarious, kind of scary, but in a way, beautiful. However, I am left to reflect on the stereotypes that surround these exercises. Are they necessary? Do “men” have something to prove? Why not all men? What even is a man? And the list of questions continues. I, personally, am comforted by the idea of the individual’s autonomy over their own existence. People are free to choose who they wish to become, what they identify as and what they decide to do with a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps there are such societal pres-
sures that fuel these mass displays of masculinity, such as Hemmingway’s running with the bulls, football and driving big, intimidating cars (but not too big or intimidating, for one does not want to give off the impression that they are compensating for something). As women are pressured to look and act a certain way in public, are men not expected to do the same? This is not a column that is trying to reconstruct the social order of things, take anything away from women fighting for equality or distract from the movements in place that challenge these very notions. Instead of labeling this act as “typical drunk frat boy behavior,” I would like to give these men more credit. I do not think, in the midst of destroying this car, that they were slaves to their stereotypes, but rather, they were having a good time. The car was on its way to the dump and they had to pay for it to get towed, anyway. Why not destroy it? Lord knows that there have been days where I wish I could destroy a car, and perhaps, next time I see a bunch of people destroying a car (whether it be frat boys, sorority girls, jocks, band kids, citizens of the world, etc.), I will join in.

Learning a new skill may take deconstruction, concentration Growing up, I have always been the clumsy one in my group of friends. Simple manual tasks like shuffling a deck of cards or opening a package of ramen noodles always caused me to fumble about looking like a fool. You know how some people who are equally good with their left and right hands are called ambidextrous? Well my friends teased me that I was “antidextrous.” Given that background, you might be surprised to learn that a few years back, I picked up a hobby that would seem to require a lot of dexterity and hand-eye coordination: juggling. It started off on a whim. I had a bag full of tennis balls on a lazy weekend afternoon, so I decided to grab three of them and see if I could figure it out. Like most people who start juggling this way, I failed utterly. The tennis balls flew wildly in every direction, even after 30 minutes of concentrated practice. Unlike most people, I did not give up there. Instead, I sought out the help of an expert on YouTube. The first thing I learned is that I was that making the same mistake nearly everyone does. Most people try to pass one ball quickly between their hands while tossing up the others high in the
Leon Mire air. But it is actually much easier to toss every ball up in the same arching pattern, one underneath the other. I took another piece of this YouTuber’s advice: I started learning to juggle not with three balls, not with two, but with only one. I imagined I was trying to trace the St. Louis Arch with every toss, keeping my hands as still as possible. After 15 or so minutes of practicing with one ball, I moved on to two, with just two tosses at first before starting over, but then gradually trying to keep the momentum. After about another 30 minutes, I picked up the third ball, and I found that my practice had pre-
pared me well. Within another 15 minutes, I was already juggling with decent competency. I learned several valuable lessons that day: if you want to learn something effectively, you have to break it down into its simplest parts, practicing them one by one and then putting them all together. Whenever I find myself having trouble learning something new, whether it is a new skill or a difficult concept, I tell myself, “Start with one ball.” If you master the basics, the things you think are so simple they are not worth your time to practice, you will find you learn the difficult stuff much more quickly, with less frustration. You should also seek out an expert’s help at the beginning to save yourself from making common mistakes and entrenching bad habits. My YouTube mentor taught me you should not look at your hands when you juggle, which seemed counter-intuitive. Instead, you need to look at the top of the arch, because all the information you need is when the ball first begins its descent. The right equipment and the right environment are also crucial to success, I learned. Tennis balls are actually terrible for juggling, because they bounce
wildly off each other when they collide. The digital tutor encouraged me to use bunched up socks at first, and eventually I invested in professional juggling balls. The best environment is standing over your bed, because it keeps you from moving your legs forward to catch a bad throw, thus encouraging proper form. It also means you do not have to walk around the room and bend over constantly to pick up balls when you drop them. Which you will. A lot. Before long, I decided to show off my new skill to my friends, and in the process, I gained insights about self-confidence and persistence. But that is a story for next time. All it took to learn the basic juggling pattern was one hour of practice under the tutelage of an online expert. If it sounds fun to you, I encourage you to bunch up a pair of socks the next time you have a lazy weekend afternoon. Start with one ball and build your way up. It is not nearly as hard as it looks.

The Final ‘Tug’ Down
5
Greek Week closes with the last rounds of Tugs By Loren Dickson Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News Greek Week ended in the mud with the final round of Tugs on Saturday. Returning champions Alpha Sigma Alpha won in the women’s championship round against Sigma Sigma Sigma, with a time of two minutes, 42 seconds. Sigma Pi beat Lambda Chi Alpha in the championship round for Big Men Tugs in one minute and eight seconds. As the women of Alpha Sigma Alpha were only a few feet away from being pulled into Campus Pond, spectators screamed louder to encourage them to keep fighting. At the very front of the rope was Alpha Sigma Alpha member Elisa Perez, a junior communication studies major. “Our strategy was all mental,” Perez said. “We just wanted to win so we knew what we had to do and we knew we were able to do it.” Although a mental competition, Tugs is physically demanding as well. “We would practice five times a week for about an hour and a half,” Perez said. “Our girls would also go to the gym every day on top of that.” Perez said she could tell her team improved

and became more dedicated over months of practice. “I’m so proud of my team for getting out there today,” she said. “It’s been a great Greek Week.” Perez said it is always bittersweet for her at the end of Greek Week. “It’s awesome to see that no matter what chapter you’re in, everyone crowds around you and wants you to win…everyone congratulates each other and (Tugs) is a big community event,” she said. “I’m excited for us to come out here next year and do it all again.” Sigma Pi Tugs coach Kevin Augustyn described his fraternity as being the best in the competition. “We have won five out of the last seven years,” Augustyn said. “I just think we have a different intensity level than everyone else. We have the heart, the form, the technique and the mindset.” Augustyn said for various reasons, fewer fraternities tugged this year compared to previous years. “Making it fun comes with a lot of participation,” he said. “I just like having more competition.” Loren Dickson can be reached at 581-2812 or ladickson@eiu.edu.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The department is about as thin operationally as it can be in different areas, though still trying to keep in mind the student-athlete experience, competitiveness and sustainability, he said. “I want to make sure we’re providing for students at EIU,” Michael said. “At the end of the day become our best recruiters based on that experience they had. If they don’t have a good experience for whatever reason, it’s going to be difficult for them to talk up
about EIU when they leave.” From a recruiting standpoint, he said, what makes it challenging is that coaches are recruiting students earlier and the department is projecting out scholarships five or six years in advance. Michael said when compared with peer institutions, the department was operating very thin, sometimes with a minimum amount of competitions. “The program does not appear to operate
as efficiently to lend itself to that competitiveness and recruiting as compared to our other OVC institutions,” Michael said. What the department has tried to do as a staff is try not to let student-athletes see where and how it has cut, though it has had to work with less, Michael said. Regarding the vitalization project recommendations for intercollegiate athletics, Michael said he and the administration are working through those.
Among the recommendations the workgroup studying athletics made was the suggestion up to five sports be eliminated. “Those conversations are certainly ongoing,” he said. “Hopefully a decision will be made very soon.” Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

Panther tennis loses on senior day By Parker Valentine Women’s Tennis Reporter The women’s tennis team came up just short on senior day Saturday, after a dominant performance Friday. Eastern swept Murray State 7-0 Friday, although the matches were more competitive than the score shows. Senior day brought less fortune for the Panthers. They were defeated by Austin Peay 4-3. The Governors clinched the doubles point early, which ended up being the deciding factor in the match. Senior Kelly Iden and freshman Stella Cliffe were defeated by Ana Albertson and Helena Kuppig 6-1. Pugachevsky and Slaria were defeated by Lidia Yanes Garcia and Isabela Jovanovic 6-3. Iden came in at her No. 1 singles spot as usual. The senior was defeated by Lidia Gar-
cia 6-0, 6-2. Junior Grace Summers had one of the more thrilling matches of the day, defeating Claudia, the other Garcia twin, in three sets 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. “My second serve was staying consistent. I just kept the ball deep until I got the short ball to put it away,” Summers said. Cliffe was defeated, but not without putting up a fight. The freshman was defeated by Kuppig 2-6, 6-4, 4-6, in a match that lasted over two hours. Sophomore Shristi Slaria defeated Brittney Covington 6-1, 6-3. “I was able to set up the point better (than her), I was able to move her which helped me. I was more patient, I wasn’t going for the winner,” Slaria said. Pugachevsky earned another victory from her No. 6 spot. She defeated Jovanovic 6-2, 7-6 (5-3) to remain undefeated in OVC play at 6-0.
“Things were not going well (in the second set) I just had to push through it and get the balls in. I needed to get the win for the team,” Pugachevsky said. Saturday’s win was Pugachevsky’s seventh straight victory in singles. Although the Panthers were narrowly defeated, coach Emily Wang believes this was a positive step moving forward. “We fought really hard until the very end on all courts. (Austin Peay) are tough players, they executed just a little bit better than us,” Wang said. The duo of Summers and senior Kamile Stadalninkaite got things started off right Friday in doubles, defeating Anja Loncarevic and Amina Hadzic in straight sets, 6-0. Iden and Cliffe finished off the doubles point, defeating Claire Chang and Alina Schibol 6-2. With the doubles wins, both Panther duos have passed the double digit mark in wins
this season. Iden started things off for the Panthers from her No. 1 spot. The senior defeated Loncarevic in a solid second and third set, after dropping the first set 6-7 (6-8), 6-2, 6-1. Summers backed that up with a win over Chang, winning 6-2, 7-5. Cliffe went three sets with Hadzic with two tie breaks. Thirty total points were scored in their tie breaks, with Cliffe going on to eventually win in a strong third set 6-7 (6-8), 7-6 (9-7), 6-1. Sophomore Srishti Slaria came in at the No. 4 spot and defeated Schibol 7-6 (9-7), 2-6, 6-4. Moshteva was up next, she defeated Jeanne Masson 6-1, 6-3.

Track, field finish third at ISU Invitational By Kaitlin Cordes Track and Field Reporter | @DEN_Sports Senior Haleigh Knapp and junior Chrisford Stevens led the way for the Panthers Saturday at the Illinois State Redbird Invitational. Eastern posted 18 top-three finishes over all. Knapp won the high jump with her best performance of the season. She cleared 5’8.75”. Stevens took the gold in the triple jump with a measurement of 46’2”. Stevens also placed third in the long jump with a mark of 23’8”. Stevens was one of four Panthers to post

Junior Nyjah Lane moved into ninth on the EIU career list for her third-place 100-meter dash performance. Lane’s time of 11.98 seconds pushed her into the top 10 in school history in the event. Junior Davion McManis, the recent Ohio Valley Conference field athlete honoree, was second in the long jump after clearing a distance of 24’2.25”. Senior Jamal Robinson placed second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.55 seconds. Freshman Nick Phillips earned third place hammer throw. He posted a mark of 175’8.5”. Sophomore Ashton Wilson rounded out the men’s top-three finish-
es with his third-place high jump performance. Wilson cleared 24’2.25”. Sophomore Jasmine Woodley was third in the hammer throw with a toss of 161’8”.

Panthers pick up one win against SEMO By Tyler McCluskey Assistant Sports Editor | @McCluskeySports The Eastern baseball team took one win out of a three-game series against Southeast Missouri this weekend. The Panthers won game two 5-4 on Saturday while they dropped game one and three 7-3 and 7-6. In game three, the Panthers’ bats started out of the gate hot with junior Joe Duncan getting a single and scoring on a single by junior Dougie Parks. Parks would be the main run scorer for the Panthers going 2-4 with three RBIs. The Redhawks tied it up in the top of the second. Danny Wright doubled to start and scored off of a single from Kyle Bottger. In the bottom half of the second, the Panthers’ bats poured on the runs, scoring four, starting with a walk by junior Frankie Perrone. Perrone scored on a sac bunt by junior Andrew Curran who reached second base on a throwing error by the Redhawks’ first baseman Tristen Gagan. Duncan singled which scored Curran. Sophomore Jimmy Govern singled, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. Parks singled in Duncan and reached second base on another error from the Redhawks right fielder Josh Haggerty. Govern scored on a wild pitch and the Panthers took the 5-1 lead after two innings. Southeast Missouri put up three straight singles scoring only one. Brian Lees doubled in another one and advanced to third on a wild pitch by Eastern senior pitcher Chase Thurston. Thurston’s day was done, only going two innings giving up eight hits and giving up five runs. Senior Brandon Allen came in to stop the bleeding and closed out the second inning with three straight outs. Coach Jason Anderson said that with the wind, he hoped that Thurston could get more than three innings of work in. “He’s pitched a lot of innings for us. We’d hope, with the wind the way it was, he could get us through three or four innings by throwing strikes and getting the ball down,” Anderson said. “(He) came out after we scored four and (we) gave four right back to them. That’s where we should have pulled away and we let them back in there.” Allen came in and immediately shut down the bats of the Redhawks. Allen pitched four innings of scoreless work and gave up only one hit and had four strikeouts. “I came in and just commanding the zone. It was something I was struggling with a little bit this year,” Allen said. “The last couple of outings, I’ve gotten a better feel for it. Getting ahead of hitters and working on my off speed (pitches).” Allen said that he continued to work batters with his off-speed pitches and when he needed to get a strikeout, he threw his fastball. Allen said that coming into the game he felt no pressure. “It’s been an adjustment for me because I’ve started my whole career and this yearI’m out of the pen,” Allen said. The Panthers could not hold the 6-5 lead as they gave up two runs in the top of the eighth on a two RBI single from Haggerty. The Panthers next game is 3 p.m. Tuesday against Illinois-Springfield.

Junior Jessica Wireman struck out 27 batters in 16 inning pitched over the weekend against Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky. The Panthers won both games she pitched in.
Wireman strikes out 27 in 16 innings over weekend By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports It could not have been easy for junior pitcher Jessica Wireman, but she sure made it seem like it was, with two complete game wins and a combined 23 strikeouts in those two starts. Wireman also struck out four in a two-inning save. In her home state of Kentucky, Wireman gave the Panthers exactly what they needed to open the weekend against Morehead State with a 2-0 win. She pitched all seven innings to pick up the win and struck out 12. The Panthers offense was silent until the fifth inning when they were able to put across two runs, including one on a wild pitch. Wireman was called to the rescue in game two against Morehead
State after the Golden Eagles had their way with starter Michelle Rogers. Rogers allowed four runs in 3.2 innings. Freshman Allison Golic came in to slow down Morehead State and she gave up one run. Eastern’s offense came to life in the sixth and scored five times to regain the lead 6-4, giving Golic the win. Sophomore Mady Poulter got the sixth-inning rally started with a single to score freshman Mia Davis. Junior Taylor Monahan finished off the five-run inning with a 2-RBI single to score sophomore Jennifer Ames and Poulter; both unearned. Wireman shut the door in the sixth and the seventh to pick up the save and struck out four batters. Morehead State scored one in the seventh, but Eastern pulled out a 6-5 win.
Eastern was on its way to its third straight weekend sweep after a pair of wins against Morehead State on Friday and one win against Eastern Kentucky on Sunday, but the Panthers dropped the final game of the weekend to EKU 2-1. The Panthers lost just their second game of OVC play and are still 8-2 in Ohio Valley Conference games. Their 8-2 record has them in second place behind 9-1 Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks picked up two wins against Tennessee State on Sunday to be the OVC leader. The Panthers will play Jacksonville State April 23 at Jacksonville State. A year ago, this past weekend Wireman struck out 22 Eastern Kentucky batters. She did not strike out that many this year, but
still hit double digits with 11 to give her 27 on the weekend. She now has 121 strikeouts this season which has her in the top 10 in the OVC. Everything was working for the Panthers in Wireman’s complete game against Eastern Kentucky. The Panthers came away with a 7-2 win in game one against the Colonels. The Panthers scored in every inning but the fifth with freshman Haley Mitchell and junior Kiley Pelker driving in two runs. Eastern will take a quick break from OVC play with a non-conference game against Butler on Tuesday on the road. The Panthers will be back at home Friday to take on Tennessee-Martin.

Women’s golf team in 9th place after day 1 Adam Shay Women’s Golf reporter | @DEN_Sports At the end of the first round, the Eastern women’s golf team scored a 328 and is currently ninth out of 12 at the Indiana State Spring Invitational. For the fourth year in a row, the Indiana State Spring Invitational is a two day tournament and is hosted by the Country Club of Terre Haute on a par-72, 6,041 yard course. The Panthers were led by senior Alexandra Pickens, who is tied for
28th with a round score of 81. “For the first 14 holes, I played really well,” Pickens said. “My drives and irons were all solid and I putted pretty well.” Right behind Pickens is junior Anne Bahr and senior Chloe Wong, both tied for 33rd as they shot an 82. Like Pickens, Wong said she had a lot working for her in the first round, but she needs to improve on her tee shots. “My pitch shots were pretty good today. I was able to hit it close most of the day,” Wong said. “I need to focus more on my tee shots
and it should be a good round.” For the rest of the Panthers, junior Hannah Magda is tied for 40th with a score of 83 while senior Madison Burgett is tied for 66th shooting an 89. Earlier this season, Bahr had her first back injury mid-February and continues to have reoccurring back pains. Bahr said her mental game was strong today; however her consistent back pains was her biggest setback “(My swing consistency) feels out of whack, and I attribute it to my back injury more than anything
else, but it’s hard to fix inconsistency like that out on the course,” Bahr said. “My mental game was in a good place today though so that was a positive.” Atop the leader board is William Woods University, placing first with a team score of 306. Individually, Loyola sophomore Elayna Bowser and William Woods freshman Lucy Matthews both scored a 73, one over par, and are tied for first place.
