Shared governance may be resolved Tarble shows ‘Real Women Have Curves’
Faculty Senate decides January as end date to resolution on shared governance
By Mercury Bowen Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News
By Brooke Schwartz News Editor | @DEN_News After a year of discussion, the question of what to do about the Higher Learning Commission’s concerns with Eastern’s organizational communication is coming to a potential end. Many solutions and ideas have been discussed, and at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting, an official end date for the resolution was set to be, ideally, this upcoming January. At a senate meeting last semester on Jan. 23, 2018, Council of Academic Affairs members went to the meeting, much like they came to the most recent senate meeting, and shared governance was discussed in many of the same ways as it was on Tuesday. An underlying discussion of Faculty Senate’s larger role on campus and in other organizations was discussed at both meetings this September and last January. Jeff Stowell, senate vice-chair and psychology professor, has been leading discussions and creating plans since those first meetings last year as a part of the senate shared governance subcommittee. At Tuesday’s meeting, Stowell said he believes a change needs to happen to clarify the senate constitution, which currently says that CAA, the Council on Graduate Studies and the Council on Teacher Education are populated by the senate, but are part of “the Faculty.” “I think we should start back at the beginning, which is what is (the senate) constitution saying about our relationship (concerning organizations), and presently we specify their existence, we say they shall be committees of the faculty, and then we really don’t specify anything about what (the senate does) with them,” Stowell said. “We spawn them, and then we orphan them.” He said he thinks having a clear relationship and connection to these other organizations is important in the senate constitution. “I might suggest, that if one word was added to the constitution that says these are committees of the faculty senate, then suddenly we have a relationship, which we then want to cultivate with

these other committees,” he said. “We’re not claiming any more power than we already have; it gives us reason to collaborate more and feel like we are connected in some way.” Rebecca Throneburg, a CAA member and a communication disorders and sciences professor, was in the audience at the senate meeting and she said she strongly disagreed with Stowell’s solution. “(Adding senate) says that basically CAA is a subgroup of Faculty Senate, and I‘m OK with that, if Faculty Senate is a representative body of the other people. Many of the other universities, Faculty Senate has … two people from CAA, or
it’s all members of CAA. Then if you have a seat on the senate, you’re a member of the other body that you’re elected to serve,” Throneburg said. “If Faculty Senate is a representative body of those people, then … OK, fine. Otherwise, we really don’t like the model of CAA, COTE is a committee of the senate with a liaison being a part of that. (CAA) is opposed to that.” Billy Hung, senate recorder and biological sciences professor, said he could see both sides of the constitution interpretations.

Homecoming week sees changes By Brooke Schwartz and Corryn Brock News Editor and Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Planning for Eastern’s Homecoming, which is taking place Oct.15 through Oct. 20, is underway, and students will see some differences from past years. The most notable difference is that the “Yell like Hell” event, which served in the past to get students excited for the Saturday football game, will not be not be included in this year’s Homecoming Week as it has been in past years. Emonie Jordan, one of the homecoming committee co-chairs, said this switch was to change the stigma that surrounded certain homecoming events, like Yell like Hell, that they were Greek life oriented. Jordan said Yell like Hell was also cancelled due to low involvement rates in past years. The coronation ceremony, which was typically held on the Tuesday of Homecoming
Week, will now be held on Friday and will be combined with an updated pep rally event that is replacing Yell like Hell on the following Friday. Coronation applications are due this Friday, Sept. 21, while the applications for faculty king and queen and little prince and princess are not due until Sept. 28. Coronation interviews are set for Oct. 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Interviews cannot be rescheduled. Picture dates for coronation will be Sept. 26 and 27 at 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in room 20B of McAfee gym. Applicants should wear Eastern spirited and their RSO’s clothing, as compared to the more formal attire that was required in the past. A meeting for applicants will be at 8 p.m. next Tuesday in the Casey room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. A coronation candidate is required to have a minimum of a 2.5 grade point average.
The winners will be chosen 60 percent by their interview, 30 percent voting and 10 percent on their application. The rush events for this year include a carnival, an obstacle course, golf cart trivia and glow bowling. Jordan said the application for participation form for this year’s homecoming can be found in the Student Activity Center. “If your (registered student organization, Greek organization or residence hall) still has not filled that out … please get that done and in the SAC office by Friday (Sept. 21),” Jordan said. Parade applications are due Sept. 28 and will be found online within the next couple of days. The theme for Homecoming Week 2018 is “This is Who We Are.” Brooke Schwartz and Corryn Brock can be reached at 581-2812 or at bssschwartz@eiu.edu or cebrock@eiu.edu.
The Tarble Arts Center presented “Real Women Have Curves” Tuesday night to a diverse audience. The film was the first shown at the Tarble Arts Center, and according to Museum Education Manager Tim Abel, the showing was a success. “It was good to see people come out,” Abel said. Abel said the film was a great one to show at the Tarble, because some of the themes are relatable for students. “It’s about someone who wants to go to college,” Abel said. “It’s really nice that seen (at the Tarble) it kind of leads to going to college.” The film was presented as part of the fall semester programs in conjunction with the “In the Eye of the Beholder” exhibition. “I like how it’s this one person’s perspective and this one person’s kind of problem solving,” Abel said. “It’s just like how the art is in the (‘In the Eye of the Beholder’) show. There’s this complete understanding that this is someone’s perspective and this is their way of being brave in the world and that’s only their direction. That idea of narrative is really strong in the movie.” Kinzi Duncan, a senior English major, said the film was very empowering. “It made me feel very OK with myself,” Duncan said. “I especially loved the scene when all the women were like stripping down and talking about how much they loved themselves. It was very sweet.” The film also resonated with Simone Reynolds, a junior theatre arts major. Reynolds said she read the play for a class, so she loved to see the movie. “The play is very different from the movie,” Reynolds said. “Even just reading (the play) and seeing (the film) there were a lot of similarities.” The film also connected with Reynolds on a personal level, because her father worked for the city of Chicago. “It was nice to see the dad not act a certain way,” Reynolds said. “He was more open and accepting to the main character Ana going to college and stuff like that.” Reynolds said there were several important messages people should take away from the film. “The grandfather tells Ana, you are at the goal, now you need to go find what fulfills you,” Reynolds said. “I think a lot of women of color, if you don’t hear that, a lot of people especially family members telling you that, it’s everything.” Another important message Reynolds took away from the film was the idea that both kinds of women portrayed in the movie are important. “If you choose to go the traditional route, you still have rights,” Reynolds said. “If you choose to go to college, we should all be included and respected for whatever decisions we make as women.” Reynolds said she would be interested in seeing a modern adaptation or sequel to the film with more inclusion. “What about the women who don’t have breasts and what about the women who don’t have vaginas?” Reynolds said. “So being more inclusive, I think that’s always a way to make something better.” Mercury Bowen can be reached at 581-2812 or mjbowen@eiu.edu.

State and Nation THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trump rolls back pollution rules for drilling on US lands BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Trump administration on Tuesday rolled back an Obama-era rule that forced energy companies to capture methane — a key contributor to climate change that's released in huge amounts during drilling on U.S. and tribal lands. A replacement rule from the Interior Department rescinds mandates for companies to reduce gas pollution, which Trump administration officials say already is required by some states. Within hours of the announcement, attorneys general for California and New Mexico filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to reinstate the 2016 rule. "We've sued the administration before over the illegal delay and suspension of this rule and will continue doing everything in our power to hold them accountable to our people and planet," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said. The change by Trump could save companies as much as $2 billion in compliance costs over the next decade. It comes a week after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed weakening a separate methane emissions rule affecting
private land and some public lands. "We're for clean air and water, but at the same time, we're for reasonable regulations," Deputy Interior Secretary David Bernhardt told reporters. Methane is a component of natural gas that's frequently wasted through leaks or intentional releases during drilling operations. The gas is considered a more potent contributor to climate change than carbon dioxide, although it occurs in smaller volumes. Bernhardt and other Interior officials were unable to immediately say how much the new rule would affect methane emissions. But a U.S. Bureau of Land Management analysis provided to The Associated Press said all the reductions projected to occur under the original 2016 rule were lost with Tuesday's change. The prior regulation would have cut methane emissions by as much as 180,000 tons a year. Emissions of potentially hazardous pollutants known as volatile organic compounds, which can cause health problems if inhaled, would have been reduced by up to 80,000 tons a year. The change could also result in the loss
of $734 million in natural gas that would have been recovered over the next decade under the old rule. Those savings would have offset some of the industry's compliance costs. An estimated $330 million a year in methane is wasted on federal lands, enough to power about 5 million homes. Kathleen Sgamma, president of Western Energy Alliance, said the old rule improperly put the Bureau of Land Management in the role of regulating air quality, which she said should instead be done by the EPA or state agencies. The Obama rule has been tied up in the courts since its adoption. It was put on hold in April by a federal judge in Wyoming. Energy companies said it was overly intrusive and that they already have an economic incentive to capture methane so they can sell it. However, that's not always practical in fast-growing oil and gas fields, where large volumes of gas are burned off using flares. Flaring has been a common practice in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, New Mexico and other states.

attacks show need for better cell service BOSTON (AP) — More than a century ago, the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi pioneered long distance, wireless communications from Cape Cod's famous coastline. But two shark attacks this summer — including Massachusetts' first fatal shark attack in more than 80 years — have underscored a troubling reality: In many parts of the vacation destination, great white sharks are now plentiful, but cell phone signals are still not. Local officials say better communication, particularly at some of the Cape's most picturesque but remote beaches, should be among the priorities as they gather later this week to discuss what can be done.
Ex-Marine admits to killing 2 suburban Chicago girls in 2005 WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — A former Marine already sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia pleaded guilty Tuesday to fatally attacking two young girls in a suburban Chicago park 13 years ago. A judge sentenced Jorge Torrez, 30, to 100 years in prison under a plea deal with prosecutors for the fatal stabbings of 8-year-old Laura Hobbs and 9-year-old Krystal Tobias on Mother's Day 2005 at the Beulah Park Forest Preserve in Zion, near the Illinois-Wisconsin state line.
settlement with ex-football player in hazing WHEATON, Ill. (AP) — A former member of a Christian college football team has settled his lawsuit against the school and four of five teammates accused of attacking him. The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights reports Wheaton College officials on Tuesday announced the confidential settlement involving Charles Nagy. Details of the settlement weren't revealed. However, in a joint statement issued by the college and Nagy, the college offered regrets for the incident and "saddened by any harm suffered by Charles Nagy."
Lawsuit filed against gas company after Massachusetts blasts BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of people who were forced out of their homes for days when dozens of natural gas explosions and fires ripped through three Massachusetts towns. The lawsuit is the first of what's likely to be several filed against Columbia Gas and its parent company over Thursday's explosions , which killed one person and injured more than two dozen in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover. It accuses the utility companies of negligence and seeks compensation for residents of who had to evacuate but didn't suffer injuries or damage to their homes. Columbia Gas officials didn't immediately respond to an email on Tuesday. About 8,600 customers were affected by the explosions. Many had to evacuate their homes for days and may have to go without gas service for weeks.
Supreme Court refuses to block dark money court ruling Dark money groups will be required to disclose the identities of some anonymous donors after the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to stop a lower court's ruling from taking effect. Crossroads GPS, a nonprofit Republican group at the center of the case, had asked the high court to put a decision on hold while the case is appealed, but the justices declined. The ruling in August by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia applies to nonprofits that give money to super PACs for advertising that supports or opposes a specific federal candidate, called an "independent expenditure." Now donors giving more than $200 to nonprofits "for the purpose of furthering an independent expenditure" have to be disclosed to the Federal Election Commission.

Fall book sale to take place Wednesday Hannah Shillo Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Booth Library is hosting its fall book sale Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. outside the south entrance of the library. Arlene Brown, office manager in Booth Library, said the book sale happens every semester. “We do it once in the fall near family weekend,” she said. “We do it once again during National Library Week in the spring.” Brown said the sale will include many different topics of books, including children’s, history, English and math books, as well as VHS tapes, DVDs and LPs.
She also said the library receives donations weekly, so everything at the sale is heavily discounted. “Usually when we get a donation, we look first to see if we need it in our collection,” she said. “If we have an older or damaged version of the same book, we might replace it (with the donated book) so as long as we pull one out of the collection, it would go into the sale.” She said hardback books will be sold for $2, and paperbacks will be sold for $1. Beth Heldebrandt, the public relations director at Booth Library, said the sale is a way to get many books at a discounted
price. “You get some bargains if you come to the book sale,” she said. Heldebrandt said there will be hundreds of books available at the sale. “We separate tables by topic,” she said. “Hopefully that makes it easier for people to find what they want.” Brown said purchases can be made using cash, check and credit cards. “(Being able to use a credit card) is fairly new for us, and students really like that,” Heldebrandt said. “We had a lot of requests. People wanted to buy books and they would come up with their credit cards, so they
would have to run to the ATM and come back, but they don’t have to do that anymore.” Brown said proceeds from the book sale will go to purchase new items or replenish old or damaged items in the library’s collection. Heldebrandt said the sale is an event that many look forward to because they can get books at such a discounted price. “Dan Hagen, a journalism professor, comes to the book sale every year,” Heldebrandt said. “Then he posts about the things he bought and what a bargain it was. He always finds something really rare, and he’s very excited about it. He’s a very strong li-
brary supporter.” Brown said there are representatives from local book stores that arrive first thing in the morning and buy as much as they can. “(The representatives) come and buy cartons and boxes of books,” she said, “So, if you want to get here before them, you’re going to have to get here early.” Heldebrandt said it is a good idea to get there early. “There’s a better selection if you arrive in the morning,” she said, “but there will be plenty of books throughout the day.” Hannah Shillo can be reached at 581-2812 or hlshillo@eiu.edu.

Why is this taking so long?
Respect, observe Latino Heritage Month With September being Latino Heritage Month, we at The Daily Eastern News feel that it is best for everyone to look past the issues regarding immigration and the stigma that people place upon Latino immigrants. This month is for meant for celebration of the culture and heritage of Latinos. We understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and they are more than welcome to share their opinion with others. Immigration is a topic that people perceive from a variety of different viewpoints, and we are always open to and will continue to be open to the idea of hearing these opinions. We notice that some people in the world get the idea that all immigrants are bad people because a single person who commits a crime happens to be an immigrant. We at The Daily Eastern News do not think that is the case. Because immigration is a topic that the Latino community is considered a part of, and immigration is something that can negative opinions can arise from, it is best— for the remainder of the month, at least— for everyone to set aside these opinions and respect the lives of the Latino community as they spend this month celebrating their culture, their family history and their countries. We believe that we all should put aside our differences and opinions on immigration in order to let members of the Latino community observe and celebrate this month in a peaceful manner. Latino Heritage Month is important to members of the culture because it is the celebration of the independence of multiple Latino countries, and it is also a way for people to celebrate well-known Latinos and Hispanics who have made a difference in the world. Members of the Latino community have celebrated Latino Heritage Month with their children for years, because they want their children to know the importance of the culture and of their Latino ancestors. It is never a bad thing for different opinions to be present in an issue, but for the sake of this community and this month, just be respectful to the people who they involve.

Hang in there; stay motivated Although we’ve only been in school for a month, this is the time when we start getting big tests in all of our classes. We start getting tired of doing homework every night, and we start to feel things pile up. Everyone can get stressed out—especially those with a large work/school load. Sometimes I myself can get extremely stressed out, but I have come up with a short list of things to keep myself going, even when things start getting tough. 1. Make lists. This sounds silly, but do it—I promise it helps. Make a list of things you have yet to do, and throw in some things that you have already done to make it a little easier. We all can have lists of things to do that seem like they go on for miles and miles, and that can be frustrating and discouraging. So, write down things you’ve already done, like “Get out of bed,” check. “Brush teeth,” check. “Go to class,” check. 2. Do your homework. Just do it. Start somewhere and do it. Stop procrastinating, it’s just going to add more stress in your life. And if you have a ton of homework to do, then just work on it a little bit at a time. It’s okay to work
NATALEE REYNOLDS for ten minutes at a time, as long as you’re being productive. 3. Take breaks. I don’t mean work on your homework for ten minutes, then scroll through Instagram for thirty minutes and not get your work done. I mean go for a walk if you’re getting writer’s block. Make a Starbucks run and get some coffee for brain food (or I suppose it’d be a brain drink). Clean your room—I promise it will make you more inspired and re-motivate you to be more productive. 4. Set goals and reward yourself. When I say this, I mean to set realistic goals. If you’re an average student, aim
for at least B’s this semester, and when you get an A, reward yourself. Go out and do something you’ve been wanting to do, or celebrate with your friends. Set small goals too though, to keep yourself accountable. When you get that homework done, then binge watch that series on Netflix you’ve been wanting to finish. 5. Remember why you’re here. You’ve been in school for the last twelve or more years, and you’ve only got a few more left—and these classes are what really matters. This is the start of your career. You are learning to be an expert in your field, so remember that your hard work will soon pay off. And remember too, that it’s okay to cry. It’s okay to feel too stressed out and want to spend all day in bed and wallow in our sorrows and stress—but you’ve got to get up at some point. Cry, let it out. And then pick yourself up and get going. College is tough, but you’re tougher. Hang in there and remember that your hard work will pay off.

The real agenda against Kavanaugh Hysteria is fun. It leads to all sorts of exciting events. Flipped cars, burning buildings, wailing in the streets, frantic cries of “Not my President,” it’s all great. And as every well-intentioned politician knows, one must always have a readymade source of hysteria. Thus, here we are today, the Kavanaugh hearings. Today will likely have more grandstanding, protestors screaming, missed handshakes and all manner of obnoxious tweets. I’m giddy with glee. But let us cut through the chaos and get to the root of the issue. The Democrats can scream about missing paperwork and unreleased documents all day (and believe me, they’ve been doing their vocal exercises), but the simple truth of the matter is that they weren’t going to vote for the guy anyway. Donald Trump announced the pick at 9:03 p.m. on July 9, according to whitehouse.gov. The conference ended at 9:18 p.m., also according to whitehouse.gov. The first Democratic tweet announcing opposition was at 9:25 p.m. July 9 and at 9:46 p.m. July 9 the Women’s March released the following statement that starts as:
“In response to Donald Trump’s nomination of XX to the Supreme Court of the United States, The Women’s March released the following statement…” That XX is not my typo. In their rush to blindly oppose any nomination not made by President Hillary Clinton, they forgot to edit in the guy’s name. Oops. This all debunks the wannabe Presidents’ claims. If you can’t read 42,000 pages of released documents in 24 hours, then how did you do it in 7 minutes? “But William, they knew the shortlist, they did their research in advance!” Fair enough. Though that begs the question: if you did your research, and read his pub-

lic rulings already, then why are you complaining about a rushed confirmation process (and by the way RBG’s confirmation process so far has been a day faster, ‘natch), since you clearly already had time to read everything and decide your opposition? None of this is important. It’s not the real agenda. The issue at hand isn’t Brett Kavanaugh. The same stuff would be happening if it was Amy Barret or any other nominee. Yeah, the Democrats care about the Supreme Court, but not as much as they want you to think. Their real prize is a certain oval office, and Kavanaugh is what they feel will get them there. Sure, they’ll lose this fight. They simply don’t have the numbers. Winning is not the point though. It’s how many outrageous tweets they get retweeted, it’s how many pithy putdowns they can say during the hearings, it’s how many grandstands they can get away with. So, while they stoke the fires of mass hysteria (if the tax cuts didn’t kill you, Kavanaugh will), let’s remember their real goal. The Democrats have 2020 vision.

FACULTY SENATE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“I think I echo part of the sentiment from (Stowell) … CAA, CGS, COTE don’t have constitutions, they have bylaws, which is really odd to me, because if they are separate entities, they should have their own constitution for existence. Right now, these committees exist under the constitution of Faculty Senate,” Hung said. “However, if you read the language of the constitution, it refers to ‘the Faculty’, capital f, so it leaves the impression that whoever drafted the constitution considers ‘all of the Faculty on campus’ as ALL faculty. I read it … as the faculty spawns the senate, the COTE, etcetera, but the Faculty Senate is deputized to populate these committees.” Stowell said he did consult with a former member of Faculty Senate who’s been at Eastern for a long time, and asked him what was his perspective of the intended relationship was between the senate and the other committees. “He pointed to the constitution of the Faculty Senate, the part that talks about the right to review any matter that concerns faculty as a whole, which includes that from other committees, and it (reiterates) that it may be that the senate would have a different recommendation to the administration than one of these curriculum bodies, that he felt that the senate decision should weigh stronger as the governing voice of the faculty,” Stowell said. “Now, that creates tension with other committees, but this is a Faculty Senate problem: What is our role, and how do we relate to other committees on campus.” Todd Bruns, senate chair and scholarly communication librarian and institutional repository director,
2014 Higher Learning Commission concerns which sparked this discussion across campus:
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS
Play away
“EIU approaches the matters of curriculum, student learning assessment, and curriculum reform in a manner that differs from many other institutions. Rather than organizing various committees, general education, curriculum, assessment, etcetera, under one umbrella, for example the Faculty Senate, the university takes a disaggregated approach with each as a stand alone entity. The value of this is that many people seem to touch and be engaged in various dimensions of assessment and curriculum review and development; however, the limit of the model is that the work can overlap and there can be disconnect and gaps because of the model employed.”
said his solution to this would involve a different change, possibly to the senate’s constitution. “My concern throughout this whole (shared governance) process has been ‘(does the Faculty Senate) really need to be in the position of essentially rubber-stamping or second guessing our colleagues that are doing important work on COTE, CAA, CGS?’,” Bruns said. “I would like to propose, and this would mean a change to perhaps our constitution, I’m not sure, that we basically create what I would call a Faculty Congress. That congress is composed of four entities: Faculty Senate, CAA, CGS, COTE. So when we have elections, if one of our colleagues runs for CAA, they are representing faculty on the issues that CAA addresses.” The “Faculty Congress” that Bruns proposed would not meet, but would entail that each entity, the senate, CAA, COTE and CGS, would compose a specific branch of the congress. “(Faculty Congress) is the organizational umbrella of CAA, which works on curriculum, of COTE,
which works on teacher education, CGS, which does what it does, Faculty Senate does everything else,” he said. “It’s basically just codifying and saying CAA, COTE, CGS and Faculty Senate combined represent the faculty.” Bruns also proposed codifying a regular meeting between the chairs of all the committees where they can discuss current business and topics. Hung said he felt this proposal was more inline with the intended meaning of the senate’s constitution. The idea of having a Faculty Congress website, which would house all the organization’s minutes and agendas, also appealed to the senators. The senate decided to table this discussion until Bruns can get more of his idea on paper and laid out, along with some justifications for how committees are currently set up and some written benefits to either staying with or changing the current structure.

FOOTBALL | COLUMN
What can Eastern expect moving forward? What lies ahead for the Eastern football team, who now sits at 0-3 after a 5541 loss to Indiana State on Saturday, is a difficult question to answer. And with conference play beginning this Saturday, it is certainly not a question the program wants to be asking itself right now. All the questions that will sit with the team during conference play revolve around what will be done with the defense. The defense is giving up 52.7 points per game this season, and the game against Indiana State was so bad, head coach Kim Dameron said he did not think they did anything well and that some kind of changes were coming, maybe even a complete overhaul of the system. The offense seems to have itself figured out well enough; the unit put up 501 total yards against Indiana State and is averaging 404.7 yards per game. The quarterback situation, which has been the offense’s biggest question since last spring, possibly reached a conclusion in week three. Quarterback Johnathan Brantley passed for 443 yards and four touchdowns, while Harry Woodbery threw just five passes in the game, completing two of them. It would not be surprising to see Brantley shoulder most of the load during conference play. At running back, Jamal Scott is third
JJ BULLOCK in the OVC in rushing, and wide receiver Alexander Hollins has been setting the world on fire, leading the conference in yards and touchdowns. So, while the offense appears to be stable at this point, it all comes back to the defense. What happens with the defense will determine if the Panthers are looking at a potential two-win season or at making a move back into the upperechelon of the conference. If the defense plays this weekend against Tennessee State the way it has in the first three games, the Panthers will lose and fall to 0-4. Right now that seems like a given if the defense does not improve. If the defense improves even just a little bit and wrinkles out some of the major problems they have had this season, and the offense plays at a high level, then Eastern can give Tennessee State a game. Last year, the defense is what carried
Eastern through the season, and it played at a very good level. If the defense can find its roots from last year and the offense plays at a high level, then Eastern should probably beat Tennessee State. But, right now that seems like a long shot to happen in just one week of time. If the defense is completely overhauled, who can tell how long it would take before it is ready to help the team win games. It would probably be safe to say it wouldn’t be ready by Tennessee State, and maybe even the week after that against Tennessee Tech. Right now, the defense is not good enough to beat middle-level OVC teams like Tennessee State and Eastern Kentucky, much less Austin Peay and powerhouse Jacksonville State. Eastern should still be able to beat the hapless Tennessee Tech, even with the way defense is playing, and Eastern should still be better than Murray State. But currently, that one is probably closer than it should be. With that said, if the defense does not improve at all, that means Eastern could be staring a twowin season in the face. That is why defensive improvement needs to happen, and the sooner the better. Eastern’s roster is more talented than two-win production; a two-win season would be an embarrassment. The Panthers have the player talent

where they should be competing easily in the tier with teams like Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri, Eastern Kentucky and should easily be ahead of Tennessee Tech and Murray State. During these defensive changes that will be coming, keeping players healthy will be invaluable to the Panthers. All-conference cornerback Mark Williams got a little banged up against Indiana State, and linebacker Dytarious Johnson, who may well be the team’s best player, was frequently on the ground holding his arm.
For the defense to be successful in this transitional phase, the team needs these two guys, especially, to be healthy and productive. The coming weeks will be very telling for Eastern and all of it will depend on the progress of the defense. That unit will be the difference between a season of embarrassment or a season with the narrative of a team that fought and turned things around.

Conference season underway for OVC teams By Adam Tumino Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports The OVC standings are starting to take shape now that the first weekend of conference play is complete. Teams earn three points for each conference win and one point for a tie. Eastern was one of two teams to earn four points, joining Austin Peay on top of the standings. Eastern’s win was the first conference victory for the program since Oct. 16, 2016. The Panthers’ overall record of 2-4-3 is the 7th-worst in the conference, and they are one of just three OVC teams with a losing record to pick up a conference win. But conference records are all
that matter. Three OVC teams played only one conference match so far. Two of them are Tennessee-Martin and Murray State, which are 1st and 2nd in the conference in goals scored respectively. Both earned a win. Two OVC teams failed to pick up a single conference point. Southeast Missouri dropped both of its conference matches, and Jacksonville State lost its lone match. Still leading the way individually for the OVC is Murray State’s junior forward Miyah Watford. She leads the conference in points with 15 and goals with seven. Her teammate Abby Jones, a freshman forward, is 2nd in the OVC in

Murray State will be Eastern’s next conference opponent. The two teams will play at Lakeside Field on Sept. 21. OVC co-leaders Austin Peay and Eastern will face off at Lakeside Field on Sept. 23. Even early in the season, the match could have major implications on the
standings all season. Tennessee-Martin continued its impressive season with a 1-0 win against Southeast Missouri last weekend. At 6-2 overall, they hold the 2nd-highest winning percentage in the conference. They are also riding a three-game winning streak, the longest in the OVC. They will be at Lakeside Field on Sept. 30 for the last match in Eastern’s four-game homestand. In other news, the OVC handed out player of the week awards Tuesday. Austin Peay’s Claire Larose earned OVC offensive player of the week honors this week after scoring two goals over the weekend. The sophomore now has five goals on the season. Two Eastern players were honored

this week. Senior Kate Olson earned defensive player of the week honors. A four-year starter for Eastern, Olson played all 200 minutes during the weekend for a defense that allowed zero goals. The biggest reason Eastern allowed zero goals is goalkeeper Sara Teteak, who was named goalkeeper of the week. The junior made ten saves in the two matches and earned her 3rd and 4th shutouts on the year. There is still over a month until the OVC Tournament begins on Oct. 26, but every match matters now that the conference season is underway.

Wright State shuts out men’s soccer team By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist The Eastern men’s soccer team had its offensive attack cooled off by Wright State Tuesday in a 2-0 loss. The Panthers (2-3-2) were outshot by the Raiders (5-0-1) and had fewer shots on goal in the match. In each of Eastern’s last two matches, a 2-1 victory over Mercer and a 0-0 tie with IUPUI, the Panthers fired 14 shots. But in Tuesday’s match, Wright State only gave up five shots to Eastern, only two of which were on goal. Eastern’s low amount of shots taken Tuesday is well-below the team’s season average of 10 shots per game. Including Tuesday, Eastern’s shots-per-game average is now sitting at 9.28, only a slight drop off. Eastern did have one edge offensively over Wright State, getting one corner kick compared to the Raiders’ none. Jake Andrews led Eastern with two shots, one of them on goal. Cameron Behm had the other shot on goal, and Shady Omar and Kris Luke each added a shot in the match. For Wright State, the team was able to get off a lot of shots, despite not scoring on any regular shots. The Raiders fired off 12 shots against the Panthers, while hitting five of those on-target. Both of Wright State’s goals came from kicks off Eastern fouls. The Raiders scored 13 minutes into the match, when Jackson Dietrich scored off a free kick, his first goal of the season. Wright State then added a security goal in the 58th minute when Deri Corfe converted a penalty kick for his third goal of the season. In goal for Eastern, making his seventh start and completing his seventh full match in goal, Jonathan Burke faced all 12 shots and had three saves. With the loss Tuesday, Eastern has now given up more goals this year than

what the team has scored itself (6-5). The penalty kick goal is also the fourth such goal that opponents have scored against Eastern so far this season. The Panthers have given up five total penalty kicks, but Burke saved the
first one he faced this year in the 2-0 season-opening victory over Cincinnati. With Tuesday’s loss, Wright State now holds an all-time 8-5 record over the Panthers. The last time the two
teams faced off was last year at Lakeside Field, when the Raiders also won 2-0. Like Eastern, Wright State defeated Cincinnati earlier this season as well, 3-2. The Raiders also defeated one of Eastern’s conference foes: Fort Wayne.
The Panthers’ next match is Friday at 4 p.m. at Lakeside Field against Northern Illinois. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@eiu.edu.
First round rematch for Eastern volleyball on Wednesday By Tom O’Connor Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports Through three games, the results varied. The two teams, Eastern and Southern Illinois Edwardsville, were the only variables to remain consistent, as neither team could defeat the other in both the playoff and regular season contexts. Eastern will engage in a rematch of last season’s first round playoff game this Wednesday night, with the Panthers eyeing this Southern Illinois Edwardsville matchup at Lantz Arena, which will be the first conference affair of the season for both teams. The Panthers tiptoed behind the Cougars all of last season, as they lost two regular season matches by scores of 3-1 and 3-0, searching for the opportune moment to catch the Cougars off guard. But, then, hiding behind a seventh seed in the tournament, Eastern jumped out ahead and startled Southern Illinois Edwardsville, the second best team in the conference, 3-1 in the first round. Even for all their practice attempts last season, Anne Hughes, Laurel Bailey and company have not turned around to look back at their previous encounters with Southern Illinois Edwardsville. So the Panthers, at 4-10 overall, have made a conscious decision to remain in the present. “We really don’t talk about last year or the past because it’s a different team,” head coach Julie Allen said. “We run a whole different style. Just watching film though, I am excited about what their
outside hitters do. I feel like we have a great game plan against them, so that will be fun to see that get implemented.” In Eastern’s 3-0 win versus Omaha, sophomore Laurel Bailey and junior Maggie Runge remained at the forefront of a defense attack that, despite nine lead changes throughout the match, forced sophomore outside hitter Claire Leonard, one of the top offensive contributors for the Mavericks, into a string of blunders in set three. Southern Illinois Edwardsville, a team that has won seven sets through 12 games, came up with its first victory on the year this past Saturday, a game in which the Cougars, who played Oral Roberts, won 3-2 with five players setting career marks. As part of the preseason poll the Cougars had been predicted to finish third overall. Sophomore Rachel McDonald, whose 16 kills and 26 digs on Saturday landed her on the Cougar Classic AllTournament team, has upgraded her play making since freshman year, when the outside hitter finished with a season best two kills. Besides this performance from McDonald, a few of her teammates, junior Dylynn Otte, Hope Everett and freshman Ellen LeMasters, commanded 43 kills among the three of them. The Cougars have, historically, been an obstruction to the Panthers, as the last such regular season win versus Southern Illinois Edwardsville occurred in November of 2015.

“Right now everyone is 0-0 in the conference, and so we have been talking about that it’s a new ball game, new team across the board,” head coach Julie Allen said. “So, things in the past are in the past and we have got to focus on us and what we are going to stop them now.”
A potent serving game, according to Allen, will keep the Cougars contained in the corner, where the most fitting response for Southern Illinois Edwradsville would be to counter with a high ball, an approach her team has readily handled. Allen also said that the Cougars have a tendency to get buried in
their rotations. “So we have really been talking about how we are going to influence the game as opposed to letting them do all of the talking,” Allen said. Tom O’Connor can be reached 581-2812 or troconnor@eiu.edu.
