CAA expresses shock, concerns Eastern with shared governance proposal prepares By Brooke Schwartz News Editor | @DEN_News While the end of shared governance discussions may have seemed over to some following the conclusion of the Faculty Senate meeting on Tuesday, members of the Council on Academic Affairs were in for a surprise at their meeting Sept. 20. The senate ended their meeting with Todd Bruns, senate chair and scholarly communication librarian and institutional repository director, heading off to write a more formal proposal of his Faculty Congress idea. The congress idea would, Bruns said at that meeting, make the organizations on campus less hierarchical and more equal. “(Faculty Congress) is the organizational um-

brella 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.” Jeff Stowell, senate vice-chair and psychology professor, had proposed earlier in that meeting a change in senate constitution that would officially make CAA, the Council on Graduate Studies and the Council on Teacher Education organizations of the Faculty Senate, not of the Faculty as the constitution now says. “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.

“To hear that (Stowell) feels he wants to go ahead and do this resolution, which is going to be pushed through... it’s disappointing. I don’t really understand where it’s coming from...” -Marita Gronnvoll, the CAA chair

Students find opportunity at job fair By Jelan Buchanan Staff Reporter |@DEN_News Students came to the job fair to meet potential new employers during the Job and Internship fair Thursday in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. Union. Essence Chatman, a senior public relations major, said she attended the job fair because this is her last year at Eastern. “I’m graduating in May so I wanted to see if they had any internships related to public relations in jobs,” she said. Senior psychology major Pleasant Singleton said he attended the job fair because he also is leaving Eastern soon.

“I’ll be graduating in December and I need to get a job by the time I walk the stage, that’s my goal,” he said. Singleton said he knows a lot of people who have gotten jobs from coming to the job fair in the past. “That’s one of the main reasons why I come, just so I can possibly be one of those people by the time I graduate,” he said. Jimmy Smith, a senior sales counter executive at Schneider National, said freshmen should come out to the job fair because they could meet and gain knowledge from many of the businesses. “It doesn’t hurt, I mean (freshmen are) very young, (they) may not know if (they are) going to stick to this major or if (they are) going to change majors, but I’m not going to tell people not to come because you

never know what opportunities you can get,” he said. “Not a lot of (businesses) offer stuff to freshman, but it’s never a bad thing to network.” Jeff Leichty, the accounting manager for Caterpillar Inc., said more freshmen should come to the job fair to get familiar with it. “I think that even if you don’t know what your major is, I think that it’s beneficial to attend, to come see it, to walk around to kind of understand what it’s about and get some of those first time jitters out of the way,” he said. “(Then) when you do have your career picked, you are a little more seasoned when you are here as a junior/senior.” Jelan Buchanan can be reached at 581-2812 or at jjbuchanan@eiu.edu.

for Family Weekend By Logan Raschke Staff Reporter | @DEN_news Family Weekend will host a series of events for students and their families starting Friday at several locations on Eastern’s campus. Students can check in and receive additional information about the schedule of events from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Java B&B and Bookstore at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on Friday. Beth Dunahee, assistant director for new student and family programs, said Family Weekend will include a movie night, a family breakfast, a murder mystery dinner, several volunteer projects, a creation station, Family FUNfest, the football game, bowling night, bingo and other events. Dunahee said everyone is welcome to the events for Family Weekend, and all but three of the events are free. “(There are) events that free for anyone to attend, and then there are also events that you have to purchase the tickets to,” she said. Everyone who wants to attend the department of music’s concert hall and the murder mystery dinner will have to purchase tickets, but students will receive two free tickets to the football game—one for them and one for a family member or friend, she said. The murder mystery dinner, movie night, concert, bubble show, rock ‘n’ bowl and family bingo will be on Friday, Sept. 21. According to Eastern’s website, the murder mystery dinner will start at 5:30 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. at the University Ballroom in the Union. The murder mystery dinner will have an 80’s style, and tickets are available to order online at Eastern’s website, Dunahee said. The family movie will be showing Incredibles 2 at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the Martinsville room in the Union and 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Charleston/Mattoon Room in the Union, and refreshments will be provided, according to Eastern’s website. The department of music collage concert will start at 7:30 p.m. at the Dvorak Concert Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center, and tickets are also available to purchase on Eastern’s website, Dunahee said. Bob’s bubble show will go from 8 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Grand Ballroom in The Union. Rock ‘n’ bowl games are $2 per game including free shoe rental, and it goes from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. at the Bowling Lanes in the Union on both Friday and Saturday.

Mattoon High School students healing 1 year after shooting MATTOON, Ill. (AP) — Illinois high school students are still healing a year after a shooting in the school's cafeteria that left one student wounded. Part of the recovery effort in Mattoon includes a community service work day Thursday, The Journal Gazette & Times-Courier reported . Mattoon High School students will plant flowers, wash cars, organize gifts for Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center patients, clean up the Coles County Fairgrounds and present lessons on kindness and giving back to students at Riddle and Williams Elementary schools. High school sophomore Rick Wright

said it is a chance to give back to the community that supported students after the shooting. "They helped us on this, so we are helping them on this day," Wright said. Wright was in the cafeteria on Sept. 20, 2017, police say, when a student brought a gun on campus. A teacher grabbed the boy's arm as he fired at a female student in the cafeteria. The gunshot missed the girl but hit another student. "Overall, it's not that hard to think about anymore," Wright said. "Enough time has passed and we are able to see our surroundings in a new light."

Madigan: 'I didn't do enough' to combat sexual harassment

Slayings raise alarms for women about defense

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan says combatting sexual harassment in the Capitol has become a "personal mission" but he wishes he'd acted sooner to "correct past mistakes." The Chicago Democrat spoke out Thursday in a Chicago Tribune op-ed . A string of Democratic lawmakers and workers in Madigan's political and government organizations have been accused of sexual misconduct this year amid the #MeToo anti-har a s s m e n t m ove m e n t . Ma d i g a n has been criticized for not having rooted it out. Madigan says "that I didn't do enough, and that we, collectively, have failed in the Capitol to ensure everyone can reliably, confidentially and safely report harassment." An outside investigation of all harassment allegations continues and Madigan's chief of staff is reviewing House procedures to ensure she is told of complaints and reports them to Madigan.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — It was decades ago, but Sara Schwendinger remembers perfectly the panic she felt when she realized a car was following her as she ran along a country road at dusk, just outside her small Wisconsin hometown. She desperately tore into a cornfield and listened as the vehicle stopped. "I remember hiding in the cornfield and hearing them and then just running as fast as I could in the other direction and making it out of this cornfield and all the way to my house and being petrified," she said. "That experience has never left me, and it's 25 years ago." Now 41 and living in Des Moines, Schwendinger often recalls that evening as she hears comments yelled by passing motorists when she trains along city streets. It's a disturbingly common part of life for female athletes, and it's suddenly in the spotlight following the deaths of three women who were attacked while engaged in the sports they love. The killings raised alarms about how women can defend themselves and why they must be ready to fight off attackers in the first place. "It's not fair that they have a different situation than a man does," said Steve Bobenhouse, the owner of a Des Moines-area running store and a long-

High school junior Bianca Beltran said many students don't think of the day as frequently, but the scars still remain. "There are still scars, but they're kind of the scars that you can hide, that don't come out every day," she said. High school sophomore Alex Seymour said the community service day will be a good chance for students to get off campus and avoid reliving the traumatic events. The 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to aggravated battery with a firearm last month. He will be sentenced on Oct 11.

time fixture in the city's running community. "But it's the way it is." The latest attack happened Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C., when Wendy K. Martinez, 35, was attacked as she went for a run in the Logan Circle neighborhood. She was stabbed in what police said was likely a random attack, dying after she staggered into a restaurant where customers tried but failed to save her life. A day earlier, Iowa State University golf star Celia Barquin Arozamena was stabbed to death during a random attack while she was golfing by herself in broad daylight on a course not far from campus in normally quiet Ames, Iowa. That attack came little more than a month after the body of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts was found hidden among corn stalks near her small hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa. She had disappeared weeks earlier after going for a run. Police have charged men with murder in both of the Iowa killings. Tibbetts' death prompted an outpouring from other runners, especially on social media under the hashtag #MilesforMollie. Hundreds of women shared their experiences of being harassed and followed and vowed to keep running as a show of defiance.

Illinois gets $44M in federal funds to fight opioid abuse SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois has been awarded a $43.5 million federal grant to fight opioid abuse. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Wednesday that the Illinois portion is part of more than $1 billion the agency distributed to all states as part of its five-point opioid strategy. Illinois will get about $29 million from the Substance Abuse and Mental health Services Administration. It will increase availability of addiction treatment using medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration and to reduce overdose-related deaths through prevention, treatment and recovery activities. A $14.5 million Health Resources and Services Administration grant will help 50 federally funded community health centers, academic institutions and rural organizations in Illinois expand substance-abuse and mental health treatment services.

Chicago alderman to change plea in bribery case CHICAGO (AP) — A prominent Chicago alderman who pleaded not guilty to bribery and wire fraud two years ago is changing his plea. A judge posted a brief order Thursday in Chicago federal court setting Willie B. Cochran's change-of-plea hearing for Nov. 28. It provides no details, including whether a plea agreement is in place or which charges the 65-year-old Democrat might plead guilty to. Prosecutors allege that he stole money from a charitable fund, spending some of it at casinos. They also say he demanded cash from an attorney for developers in exchange for taking action in his official capacity. Defense attorney Christopher Grohman told the court last month that Cochran was talking to prosecutors about a plea deal. He didn't reply to a Thursday message seeking comment. The U.S. attorney's office declined comment.

TODAY ON CAMPUS: THIS WEEKEND!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Eastern’s Concert Band and Wind Symphony groups will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Dvorak Concert Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The Concert Band will perform first, followed by the Wind Symphony. Tickets to the concert will be $5. According to Alicia Neal, the director of bands and associate professor of music, students in the groups have been working on the music to be performed since the second week of class. Neal said her favorite part of directing the groups is watching the students grow and improve. “Every time we do something it gets a little bit better,” Neal said. “I like seeing them do things that they’ve never done before and be successful on things we worked on and be able to execute it under pressure.” Neal said she is especially excited about the concert because it takes place during family weekend. “I think a lot of students’ parents are going to probably make it to this concert, more than they would normally maybe come to a concert,” Neal said. “I’m excited to actually meet their parents because some of them I don’t know, and some of them I know well and I’d like to see them again.” One of the pieces Neal said she is most looking forward to being performed is “Awayday” by Adam Gorb.

The Concert Band will also be performing excerpts from “Appalachian Spring” by Aaron Copland. “I think that I’ve seen the most growth from the students on those two pieces,” Neal said. “They’re the hardest.” Willie Morris, a senior music education major and saxophone player in the Wind Symphony, said to prepare for the concert, the students often spend a great deal of time practicing their parts of the performance on their own. “It’s taking something that’s extremely difficult, if it’s technically difficult, and slowing it down then speeding it up gradually until I can play it at tempo,” Morris said. Jaida Brockman, a sophomore music education major and flute player for the Wind Symphony, agreed that much of the practicing was done individually. “I think the coolest part is when we’re all together and we all know our stuff,” Brockman said. “It’s just a matter of putting the puzzle pieces together.” Morris said his favorite part of being in the Wind Symphony was the feeling of togetherness. “Whenever we come together, the feeling of playing a piece and then when it’s over and you realize that you’ve just done this thing together is super powerful,” Morris said.

Pancake Breakfast benefits ROTC By Corryn Brock Staff Reporter | @corryn_brock The EIU Leadership & Excellence Club is hosting an annual pancake breakfast to benefit the club and the ROTC on September 22 from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Charleston VFW on 20th Street. Ben Leman, a member of LEC who has been involved in the planning of the event, said it’s a good event to support. “It’s a good way to get exposure for us and for the VFW as well,” said Leman. “It also

lets the community know that we’re out here doing stuff.” Tickets are $7 in advance and $9 at the event, and kids under the age of five eat for free. Tickets can be purchased by calling or going to the EIU ROTC office in Klehm Hall, or by asking any ROTC cadet on campus. Proceeds for the event go towards a traditional military ball for the cadets as well as different events for the EIU LEC like obstacle courses. Last year funds helped LEC do an escape room together and this

year some may go towards a paint-ball event as well as “adopting” a highway. During last year’s pancake breakfast over 350 tickets were sold, and similar numbers are expected for this year. For those interested in joining the EIU LEC to participate in events like the ROTC Pancake Breakfast, it is open to all students. Contact Kevin Peterson, the president of LEC, for more information. Corryn Brock can be reached at 581-2812 or cebrock@eiu.edu.

Friday, finally

On shared governance:

Oversight is not a form of communication Polarized, racist portraits of weed COURTNEY SHEPHERD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

A yearlong discussion about organizations on campus is coming to an end soon. Shared governance, which has been a topic since the 2014 Higher Learning Commission review of Eastern raised concerns about communications between campus organizations, has been discussed by groups around campus with varying solutions. Today, it was revealed that a solution many people thought was discussed and dismissed will be passed through the Faculty Senate at their next meeting. The proposal would create a hierarchy with the senate on top and with the Council on Academic Affairs, the Council for Graduate Studies and the Council on Teachers Education below it. We at The Daily Eastern News do not consider this to be a productive or effective solution to what is considered by many to be a minor problem. Oversight is not communication, and if it is, it is one-sided between the people at the top and the people on the bottom. When a parent sets a curfew or grounds you, although that parent is communicating with you, more than likely you are

not communicating with them. It seems insulting to add more of a problem to the HLC concerns than there originally was. Of the three sentences the HLC wrote about shared governance, not one of them mentioned a lack of trust in the curriculum process that this proposal seems to be trying to fix. If this proposal goes through, far from fixing any perceived communication problems, it will increase them ten-fold. Who wants to communicate with a body that just voted themselves to be the top of the hierarchy? If this resolution passes, it has the potential to lead to years of distrust between the senate and the other bodies on campus, which would be harmful for everyone. No matter how you interpret the senate constitution or the good intentions that lie behind this proposal, the organizations on campus have to work as a team for the good of the students, something that might not be possible if this chasm of disappointment and distrust is allowed to grow between them. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

WE ARE WE'RE HIRING! HIRING

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk, the face of Tesla, smoked weed during a live interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Since, the Tesla stock has fallen, but no major consequences have followed Musk’s actions. Why would he? It’s 2018, and no one cares about weed anymore. Well, I guess that can only be said for some. On September 6, Botham Jean was killed in his own apartment by Officer Amber Guyger. He was 26 years old, a St. Lucia native and a college graduate living in Dallas. The day after the shooting Guyger was placed on paid administrative leave, and a warrant was issued allowing items to be seized from Jean’s apartment. On September 9, Guyger turned herself in and was charged with manslaughter, and within an hour, posted bond and walked free. The details of the murder were made public on September 10. This is where the story gets especially tragic, and all of this is documented in the public affidavit. After shooting Jean, Guyger called 911 and went to the front door to verify the address. It was not until this moment that she realized that she was on the third floor, not the fourth, and was in the wrong apart-

ABBY C ARLIN ment. On September 13, the media began its field day with the findings from Jean’s apartment, which included 10.4 grams of marijuana and a grinder. After this was made public, Jean’s mother pleaded with the Dallas Police Department that Guyger be fired for not only murdering her son, but for ruining his name. All of this information I have just provided is public and can be found through Dallas News by The Dallas Morning News. Currently, weed’s legality is a hot topic, but concerning its practice, no one seems to care. It was a joke when Elon smoked on the YouTube show, yet possession of marijuana was used to villainize Botham Jean. I believe this was a rhetorical strategy used to

save Guyger’s reputation, and that of the Dallas Police Department, create drama and to distract the public from the issues at hand. If that is not enough, Guyger was charged with manslaughter instead of murder. The culture in which this crime was committed favors the police over the lives of the people they are sworn to protect. There is no excuse for Guyger’s actions, but she is not a unique figure. Across the country, countless innocent lives have been stolen, and even more bodies have been brutalized, by militarized forces. For what reason? The media talks endlessly in circles on the topics of respecting the flag, honoring armed forces, celebrating the police and so on, but the same respect does not extend to the victims of these same powers, which is absolutely infuriating and unacceptable. It is shameful that our country can react to Musk smoking weed with a flood of viral memes while the family of Botham Jean, while in the deepest depths of mourning, watches his legacy go down the drain over possessing less than an ounce of weed.

Understand everyone’s differences I realized in one of my Monday classes that I don’t know any personal information about anyone in my classes. I remember in high school knowing what kind of household everyone was raised in. A topic of discussion that came up in my class went something along the lines of, if we were in a life-threatening situation, such as being on a sinking boat, who would we save—one of our parents or our significant other? For nearly all of the class, it was obvious. They would save mom or dad, but to others it was just the opposite. When we were discussing why some of the class had chosen what they had, one of my classmates argued that no one can replace your parents. You can just get a new boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. Parents are irreplaceable. They raised you and gave you the life you have now. That is true, for some. Unfortunately, what the rest of the class came to find out was that not everyone had a happy childhood. For some, the question was not wheth-

K ARENA OZIER er to save mom/dad or the significant other; it was, why are my parents even with me? They might not ever speak to their parents. For the rest of the class, it was heartbreaking to know that not everyone had it so easy, but this brief question and discussion opened our eyes to the world around us. A few students even had their own viewpoint on the question. Those students were thinking, “depending on the situation, maybe I could save them both.”

In any instance that the question was answered, I got a glimpse of who each of my classmates were. Compared to high school, personality is not as easily detected. Judging someone based on their choices, how they act or even how they look will not get you anywhere. From high school, the quiet boy who twiddled his thumbs ended up being my greatest love, and the loud, obnoxious girl in the lunch room ended up being my best friend. Not everyone wears their true colors on the outside. We relate to people who have gone through some of the same battles we have. We accept comfort from those who have familiarized the path we are on. We know that we are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes the world we live in makes it hard not to. Be cautious of your surroundings and keep an open mind. Not everyone is on the same boat. Karena Ozier is a freshman elementary education major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or at kmozier@eiu.edu.

CAA

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “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 who was in attendance of that Sept. 18 meeting, said she disagrees with Stowell completely. “(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,” Throneburg said. “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.” Many council members said they left the senate meeting feeling optimistic about the idea of a Faculty Congress, which would make all organizations equal and allow them to act as sole experts of their given area. Before the CAA meeting Thursday, Marita Gronnvoll, the CAA chair and the communication studies associate chair, said Bruns visited her and told her that Stowell planned to go through with proposing his plan to the senate for a vote. Stowell’s plan would include a change to the constitution as well as the addition of having any new programs CAA approved that requires Illinois Board of Higher Education approval to appear on the senate agenda as an executive action. This means that the proposal would not be officially approved until it went through the senate, after going through CAA. Gronnvoll said that both proposals, Bruns’s Faculty Congress and Stowell’s changes, will go through the senate at their Oct. 2 meeting. If both proposals are passed by the senate, then the conflicting resolutions will be put up to a vote for all faculty on campus. Gronnvoll said she felt confused about the direction that some senators had chosen to take. “This is disappointing, it’s extremely disappointing. The feeling in the room (at the senate meeting) that I

grams, and then to just trump everything that we do. That’s what they’re trying to say.” Many council members said they did not understand how Stowell’s proposal would address any of the Higher Learning Commission concerns that this whole discussion has been centered around. Bruns and Gronnvoll encouraged members of CAA, COTE and CGS to attend the senate’s Oct. 2 meeting at 2 p.m. in room 4440 of the Mary J Booth Library with the hopes that with more voices, Stowell’s proposal will not pass through the senate.

Dunahee said bingo has been a favorite of families for years, and people take the game very seriously. “(Family bingo) is just a popular event that people get really into,” she said. “There’s a lot of free prizes … They have everything from gift cards to big prizes.” The events for Saturday, Sept. 22 include the volunteer programs, the Tarble Arts Center Extravaganza, the Panther football game, Family Funfest and more. The volunteer programs include the Fit-2-Serve community garden off-campus service project and the fleece blanket service project. Volunteers will leave from campus at the Panther Pantry located in the Union for the community garden project at 8:30 a.m., and volunteers should RSVP at volunteer@eiu.edu. The fleece blanket service project begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 12 p.m. in the university ballroom at the Union. Family breakfast with Eastern President David Glassman starts at 9 a.m. at the Grand Ballroom in the Union. The Tarble Arts Center Extravaganza starts at 1 p.m. at the atrium and Tarble galleries. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. for the Panther vs. Tennessee State football game at O’Brien Stadium, and tickets are available for purchase online. There will also be other weekend activities and events during family weekend available on Eastern’s website. Dunahee said she encourages all students to attend family weekend to have a good time with their families and relax. “ ( Fa m i l y w e e k e n d ) i s a f u n weekend for everyone to come and get involved,” she said. “There’s a lot going on, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”

had was, overall, that Faculty Senate was behind what (Bruns) was proposing,” she said. “So to hear that (Stowell) feels he wants to go ahead and do this resolution, which is going to be pushed through, that’s what he wants to do, it’s disappointing and I don’t really understand where it’s coming from. It does seem to not be a majority opinion.” Barry Kronenfeld, CAA member and geography professor, said he was less wary of Stowell’s proposal than other members of the council. “I am not as resistant as you guys are to some degree of hierarchy, I do agree that Faculty Senate should not be making curricular decisions, but I do think as a body we shouldn’t resist

any kind of oversight,” Kronenfeld said. “I mean, we should welcome some feedback and guidance.” Stacey Ruholl, CAA member and kinesiology, sport and recreation professor, said she could see where Kronenfeld was coming from, but she still disagreed. “Recognizing that Faculty Senate is not representative, they don’t make sure they have a good distribution of senators from all the various areas, that’s a concern and I think they would have to change that,” she said. “I agree with what we’ve been talking about for a long time, in that they don’t have any background of any of what we’ve done for all these years of looking at courses, looking at pro-

7 Panthers set to host Murray State, Austin Peay FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS

By Adam Tumino Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s soccer team is at home this weekend for a pair of conference matches against tough opponents. On Friday, Murray State will come to Lakeside Field for a 12 p.m. match. They have had the best record in the OVC for the last three seasons. The Racers come into the match at 5-1-1 on the season after winning their only conference match last weekend. On Sunday at 1 p.m., Eastern will face their co-leaders in the OVC: Austin Peay. The Governors are 6-2-1 on the season overall, and 1-0-1 in the OVC. Although Eastern has a losing record at 2-4-3, the conference results are more important. The Panthers’ defense did not surrender a goal against their first two conference opponents this past weekend. They did not score a goal either. Head coach Jake Plant said he had the team focusing on finishing their shots in practice this week. They turned down the intensity for practice on Thursday, but Plant said he liked what he saw in practice earlier in the week. “Tuesday and Wednesday the finishing was very good. Very good rhythm,” Plant said. “It’s a skill that isn’t devel-

oped in a week. It’s a skill that is developed over time. As we go on through the weeks and the more we do it, the better we look.”

Even with the strong opponents this weekend, Plant said that the preparation doesn’t change a great deal. “We prep as much as we can for every

single opponent,” Plant said. “We treat everybody with the same respect, whether it’s the champions or someone who finished just above us last year. We try to

be as thorough and as detail orientated as possible.” The Panthers used their detail-heavy approach last weekend when they went 1-0-1. Defensive details were the focus in practice before those matches, and it paid off. The Panthers allowed zero goals in 200 minutes of gameplay. Junior goalkeeper Sara Teteak made ten saves, increasing her season total to 32. She was named OVC Goalkeeper of the Week for her efforts. The defense in front of her was not ignored, as senior Kate Olson earned OVC Defensive Player of the Week honors. “The league is very big on recognizing individuals,” Plant said. “Those individuals that were picked did excellently.” Plant added that they were not the only standout performers last weekend. “The whole defensive unit, the whole team that goes out and defends does it brilliantly,” he said. “It takes more than one player to get two shutouts. It takes 22.” The Panthers will be home not just this weekend but the following weekend as well when they face Belmont and Tennessee Martin.

Women’s swimming seniors lock in on upcoming season By Eric Hendrix Swim Reporter | @DEN_Sports The swimming team is spending the last few days of this week preparing for an exhibition swim meet on Saturday. The Blue vs. White exhibition meet will be at 8 a.m. in Padovan Pool in Lantz. Martee Grainger is a swimmer on the team entering her senior year. Martee has been a swimmer since she was six years old, and she usually competes in the 150 and 200 meter freestyle and also competes in the backstroke on occasion. Martee shared some of her expectations for the season. “As far as the season goes, I expect big things. I think we’re looking pretty strong and fast and we have a lot of freshmen this year, which is cool because it brings in a new dynamic, so I kind of

"As far as the season goes, I expect big things." Martee Grainger, Senior have some big expectations for the year,” Martee said. When asked about Saturday's matchup, Martee had this to say, “I expect the grey team to win by a lot.” Martee spoke about her bond with her fellow seniors and even expectations she had for some of them such as Lauren Oostman, a returning senior and record holder. “She is a record holder, so she’s obviously looking to chase her own records again this year,” Martee said. “We came in with three and we’re leaving with three, which is like unheard of. There’s always someone you lose throughout the years, and I know there’s only three of us,

but we didn’t lose anybody.” She went on to speak about her teammates and newly discovered leadership role. “Better attitude in general,” Martee said. “As a senior you’re kind of a leader, and so I look to be an example for the team and I think all the seniors would say the same thing; it’s a very different year this year and it’s got a different energy, it’s cool.” Martee also mentioned some matchups that she is looking forward to this upcoming season, such as Valparaiso, Saint Louis and Western Illinois. “We always like to compete against

Western because that’s always a good hit or miss battle, we go back and forth with them,” Martee said. Lauren Oostman is another senior swimmer on the swimming team. Lauren competes in the 100 and 200 backstroke. “I’ve been swimming year-round since I was six years old,” Oostman said. Lauren spoke a little about what it takes to prepare for the swimming season. “I try to keep my head focused and focus on what goals I want. I usually put around my room my times that I want to hit by the end of the season and that usually keeps me really motivated,”Oostman said. Lauren spoke on finding motivation and her personal and team expectations for the season.

She spoke on the importance of senior year in comparison to others. “It kind of freaks me out; I’m like wow, I only have six months left of swimming like ever, so it really pushes me a lot during practice.

Defense hopes to improve against Tennessee State By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports Eastern football head coach Kim Dameron was honest when discussing the state of his team’s defense, which has given up 52.7 points per game this season, saying that he knows the unit has to be better. But even after a week of practice and learning, he was not sure if it would be improved Saturday against Tennessee State. “I hope we’re going to be much improved, but I don’t know,” Dameron said. “It’s going to remain to be seen. (Tennessee State) has great athletes, they’ve got great coaching and we have got to find a way to tackle people. Especially when they get in the open field, right now we have not been able to get them on the ground.” The defense this season has been so bad it prompted the coaching staff to look at every aspect of the unit. Personnel, schemes, everything and anything that could be looked at to help the defense turn itself around has been. So, it will be very interesting to see what the defense looks like when the Panthers take the field on Saturday. The past two weeks of practice for Eastern have been focused on fixing the defense. Prior to the Indiana State game, the main thing being looked at was the secondary; now, however, the secondary and every other unit has been under the magnifying glass. “What we’re doing is trying to get better fundamentally,” Dameron said. “I mean we have always been some three-down and some four-down. So, depending on what we do or what’s working, but right now we’re going to start off with three down, but who knows, we’re going to do whatever we can find that works.” Dameron went on to say that what set they line up with will not be as important as the team simply just tackling better. Tackling has been the major theme of all three of the Panthers’ games on

defense this season. To put it frankly, Eastern has not been tackling. It cost them big plays against Illinois State and Indiana State. Linebackers and defensive lineman were letting the running backs slip right through their hands and the secondary had just been flat out missing guys. Eastern gave up 326 yards on the ground to Indiana State and 254 to Illinois State. Some of this was because of tackling, and some of it was Eastern’s lineman getting bullied up front by the big offensive lineman that the

SEC and MVC typically boast. Perhaps facing an OVC team will help correct this problem somewhat, but as Dameron said, the team just needs to be better fundamentally. Tennessee State does not run the ball much, but Eastern’s secondary will be tested by the Tigers’ passing game, led by quarterback Michael Hughes. Hughes will be aided by receivers Steven Newbold, Chris Rowland and Treon Harris. Eastern knows what the trio brings to the field and is expecting them to cause problems. Newbold

was selected to the preseason all-conference team. Other notes: -Tennessee State has two all-conference defensive backs in Vincent Sellers and Dajour Nesbeth. They will be testing Eastern quarterback Johnathan Brantley all game. -After a quarterback battle that dates back to last spring, Johnathan Brantley is now listed as the No. 1 guy on the depth chart. However, Dameron said Harry Woodbery will still see playing time behind him.

-Running back Jamal Scott, who leads the team in rushing, has moved up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Prior to week two he was not listed at all, and prior to last week he was listed as number three. -Tennessee State has only been able to play in one game this season because of weather cancellations. -Tennessee State is 2-9 at O’Brien Field.

Men’s soccer team prepares for Northern Illinois match By Oscar Rzodkiewicz Men’s Soccer Reporter | @ORzodkiewicz Eastern (2-3-2) men’s soccer team looks to get back on track and into the thick of the Summit League’s upper tier against Northern Illinois (5-2) at 4 p.m. Friday night at Lakeside Field. Historically, Eastern holds the upper hand against Northern Illinois, leading the all-time series with a 16-8-3 record. T h e Pa n t h e r s c o m e o f f t w o straight scoreless matches, including a 0-0 draw versus IUPUI on Sept. 12 and a 0-2 loss against Wright State, which ranks 25th in the country according to Top Drawer Soccer. Northern Illinois strung together three straight victories at home in the last two weeks, and that momentum has come from both sides of the ball. No r t h e r n Il l i n o i s o u t s c o re d Su m m i t L e a g u e m e m b e r Fo r t Wayne 4-2 on Sept. 7, and then p o s t e d t w o 1 - 0 w i n s i n a row against Western Illinois and University of Illinois-Chicago, respectively. Eastern prides itself on stout defense, but Wright State broke the one-allowed-goal seal the Panthers maintained through the first six matches of the year. The focal point in Eastern’s de-

Senior forward/midfielder Kris Luke starts to make a move to get around a defender during Eastern’s 1-0 loss to Green Bay at Lakeside Field on Sept. 2.

fense, sophomore goalkeeper Jonathan Burke, has posted 24 saves and allowed just six goals in 670

minutes in the net this season. Out of all Summit League keepers that have started six or more

contests, Burke ranks second in save percentage, clocking in at .800 on the year.

Eastern will have its hands full with tough scorers against Northern Illinois, though, as junior Jan Maertins and freshman Nick Markanich have combined to score six of the Huskies’ 12 goals this year. For Eastern, the offense has been slow lately, but the Panthers have still had their chances as senior Jake Andrews has gotten a shot on goal in each of the last two matches. B e f o r e E a s t e r n’s l a s t m a t c h against Wright State, the Panthers had 14 shots in each of their matches against Mercer and IUPUI. Ju n i o r C h r i s t i a n So s n ow s k i leads Eastern’s offense in scoring going into Friday’s matchup, netting two balls on just three shots on goal this year. Senior Kris Luke will also be important, as his nifty footwork has created one goal despite coming off the bench in all but one game. Senior Toby Andrews and sophomore Shady Omar also have contributed a goal this season. After Northern Illinois, Eastern sets its sights on Belmont for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Oscar Rzodkiewicz can be reached at 581-2812 or orrzodkiewicz@eiu.edu.

Tarble invites families to create art at Extravaganza By Karena Ozier Staff Reporter | @DEN_News

referred to as “volun-tolding.” “We want our students to say to their families and loved ones, ‘Hey, let’s go do this thing,’ which we call “volun-tolding” in our world. That’s when someone says, “We’re going to do this together,’” Gillespie said. “We’ve all had those friends in our lives that say, ‘Hey, I signed up to do this, you’re coming with me.’” But Brown said when this happens, students usually end up loving it. “You have to start somewhere,” Brown said. Gillespie said the two volunteer opportunities are also a way for families to get a chance to see what life is like in Charleston and to get a taste of the community. “That’s why we think it’s important,” she said. Overall, Brown said they like to challenge themselves, and since volunteers were able to make 60 blankets two years ago, their goal is to make more than that. “Knowing that we have more students and our students are very engaged already and connected, I would love to see us hit or exceed that goal this year, and I think that’s doable,” Brown said.

The Tarble Arts Center is hosting their annual Tarble Arts Extravaganza alongside Family Weekend on Saturday, starting at 1 p.m. in Tarble’s atrium. Riley Snyder, a student worker at Tarble, said three activities will be available at Tarble for students and their families to engage with. Model printing (a type of printmaking), button making and kite making will all be available to those who come to the event. Tim Abel, the museum education manager said, “We are going to have lots of art making. We are going to kind of show off our big classroom space and hopefully, if the weather is nice, we will do art making out on the tables as well.” Everyone who plans to attend Family Weekend events is welcome to participate in the event at Tarble. Families are also welcome to write on a sticky note with what they feel empowered by near the permanent gallery in Tarble. “’I feel empowered by…’ is our slogan right now,” said Abel. Those interested in viewing Tarble’s current exhibit, “In the Eye of the Beholder,” may do so on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. According to the Tarble Times, the exhibit features work from female artists from 1968 to the present with diverse artistic practices. Works in the exhibit are from different artists, such as Judy Chicago, Bethany Collins, Jenny Holzer and Yoko Ono, with Ono’s work being interactive. Snyder said he believes the Extravaganza is important for families to attend for bonding time during Family Weekend. “The event is taking place so that families have a way to bond further with their student here at EIU,” Snyder said. “When you create something with someone else, not only are you creating art, but you’re creating a bond. It’s a lot like food, in a way that art brings people together.” Refreshments will be available for those in attendance, including “kid-friendly” refreshments.

Shelley Barnard is from the Chicago area and said she came down to spend Family Weekend with her son.

Families can make blankets to give back By Analicia Haynes Editor-in-Chief | @Haynes1943 Students and their families will have the opportunity to give back to the community during this year’s Family Weekend by volunteering for one of two different events on Saturday. Beth Gillespie, the interim director for the Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism, and Crystal Brown, the assistant director for the office, said there are two ways students can help out on Saturday on and off campus. The first is participating at the Fit-2-Serve Community Garden in Mattoon, which is an off-campus service project, and the second opportunity is the Fleece Blanket Service Project, which will be on campus in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Brown said families can help weed and harvest while participating at the garden, but those interested need to register beforehand by going to volunteer@eiu.edu. She said volunteers do not have to drive there. Instead, everyone should meet by the Panther Pantry in the Union by 8:30 a.m. Saturday, and volunteers help from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

The Fleece Blanket project will be from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday and is intended to create blankets for children through One Stop Community Christmas. “Families, friends, students all are welcome to come by,” Brown said. “They can stay for 10 minutes and make one blanket or they can stay the whole two hours and make as many as they want.” Both events are free. So far this year, there have been over 1,200 students who have volunteered through the Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism in the past six weeks, Gillespie said. “That is a huge amount of students coming in and doing good, and as we know our campus loves to get involved and to give back,” she said. She said knowing this is why she believes students’ families also have that spirit of giving. “If not, if they haven’t grown up volunteering, this could be a really cool way for our students to say, ‘Here’s this new thing that I discovered (and) that I would like to be a part of, let’s go do some good together,’” Gillespie said. “(This) could potentially open up the practice of volunteering and giving back.” She said the office wants students to invite their loved ones to participate, something she

‘80s dinner, murder mystery to take place By Mercury Bowen Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News Students and family members will have the chance to attend an ‘80s style dinner and murder mystery at 5:30 p.m. Friday in the University Ballroom at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The Central Illinois Stage Company will be performing the event in five acts with dinner taking place between each act. Audience members may also be asked to take part in the performance, with members of the theatre troupe giving them scripts to read and such. Attendees are encouraged to come in ‘80s themed costumes as well. The performance will mark the second time Eastern has hosted a dinner and murder mystery. Tanya Willard, the director of new student family programs, said because she is new to Eastern she did not get to see the last

murder mystery dinner and is looking forward to seeing how the event will play out. Beth Dunahee, the assistant director of new student family programs, was a graduate assistant when the last murder mystery dinner took place. “We’re both seeing this in a different way,” Willard said. “Looking at it from the perspective of a graduate assistant or a student is different from having to look at it from the perspective of a full-time staff member.” As well as looking forward to seeing the dinner and murder mystery, Willard said she is excited to see some of the families she met at orientations over the summer. “I’m hoping I get to see some of those family members and reconnect with them,” Willard said. Because the first event was successful, Willard said she and Dunahee chose to do another murder mystery dinner. “We had really good feedback from this event last year,” Willard said. “People who attended it had a really good time. It was

really popular, so why not bring back something that’s popular and successful and people really enjoy?” According to Dunahee, attendees should expect the unexpected regarding the performance. “Last year’s performance was a lot of fun and just quirky,” Dunahee said. “I feel like it’ll probably be the same dynamic.” Of the performance itself, Dunahee said she is looking forward to seeing the new theme. “Last year was a murder at a saloon,” Dunahee said. “It was like a wild west theme. This year it’s the ‘80s style so it think it’ll be a different twist on it.” Willard said the event will sell out, so she encouraged students to purchase tickets as soon as possible. For more information about family weekend events students can see the family weekend website at eiu.edu/famweekend. Mercury Bowen can be reached at 581-2812 or mjbowen@eiu.edu.

RHA Carnival to host games, opportunities for family fun By Corryn Brock Staff Reporter | @corryn_brock The Residence Hall Association will be hosting an RHA Carnival from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday around Eastern’s campus for Family Weekend. Chris Dixon, RHA president, said the event will have many activities for students and families to participate in. “I heard (there will) potentially be a Jenga game to something as simple as passing items out,” Dixon said. Different activities will be available to students and their families in the Library Quad. Options include inflat-

ables, games, and corn hole. Each residence hall will also be putting on events for families. “It’s good to go because you don’t know who’s going to be there. It could be your friend and their families, and you can meet each other’s families,” said Julia Contreras, Andrews Hall RHA hall representative. “Your family can know you’re doing good here.” Andrews Hall will offer friendship bracelet making. Ford Hall will be offering “Pie a Panther” in which students and their families can “pie” each other. Lawson Hall will offer popcorn and

“bag games.” Lincoln Hall will be offering various board games. Pemberton will offer a different take on musical chairs that will include hula hoops. Thomas Hall will be offering balloon darts activities. Stevenson Hall will offer “Pie a Resident Director,” which is similar to the “Pie a Panther” event in Ford Hall. Weller Hall will be offering face paint and henna. Exclusively for students residing in Weller, parents will be able to write their students “midterm mail” which will be passed out to

“Weller Dwellers” during midterms. Douglas Hall, McKinney Hall and Taylor Hall events have yet to be confirmed, but each hall will be offering something to parents and students. Dixon said he recommends that everyone who can come to an event does. “I’m excited to see all of the families get out and about, said Dixon. “I’m also excited for people to recognize the RHA for being the wonderful organization that it is.” Corryn Brock can be contacted at 581-2812 or cebrock@eiu.edu.

FAMILY WEEKEND | SEPT. 21, 2018

FUNfest to have family activities By Logan Raschke Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Family Weekend FUNfest will take place from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, and it is free for everyone to attend. According to the official 2018 Family Weekend schedule and highlights, Family FUNfest is a great way for students and their families to create lasting memories at Eastern because it has so many different events anyone can enjoy. “Family FUNfest features a family atmosphere that includes creation stations, movies, inter-active games, giveaways and refreshments showcased throughout (the Union),” according to the official schedule and highlights. “(Highlights of Family FUNfest include) a virtual reality pod, bumper cars, laser tag, Builda-Bear, sand art, airbrush and caricature artists, an escape room, carnival games and prizes, a ‘giant’ bean bag toss and double shot basketball games, a funny money booth, a kid’s corner featuring mini-pumpkin painting, coloring, cookie-decorating and button-making stations, movie night (showing) Incredibles 2 and ‘discount’ bowling and billiards.” Beth Dunahee, assistant director for new student and family programs, said she expects the Union to be full with excited students, children and families during Family FUNfest.

“Technically, (Family FUNfest) is spread out between the Grand Ballroom, the University Ballroom, the bridge lounge and pretty much everywhere else in the Union,” she said. Dunahee said the creation stations are great for students and families, especially families with children, who like to create art. “(There are) different activities like face painting, sound art and coloring,” she said. Dunahee said attending Family FUNfest during Family Weekend is great for students living away from home to get together with their fami-

lies and enjoy themselves. Attending Family FUNfest during Family Weekend can also help families adjusting to living separately from their children who now attend Eastern, she said. Even if family members cannot make it to Family Weekend, all students are still encouraged to attend, she said. “I always went with friends,” she said. “It was always fun.” Logan Raschke can be reached at 581-2812 or at lrraschke@eiu.edu.

Family weekend sports primer Everything you need to know about the Eastern sports in action Football

BRYAN BUND | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Eastern’s captains for its game against Indiana State in week three, Isaiah Johnson (23), Alexander Hollins (15) and Aaron Gooch (7), stand on the sideline before walking out for the coin flip. Eastern is 0-3 this season and has surrendered 52.7 points per game this season.

The Eastern football team currently sits at 0-3 this season, having lost games to Arkansas, Illinois State and Indiana State. The Panthers have struggled on the defensive side of the ball, giving up 52.7 points per game, but the team has worked on new schemes in practice and hope to be better this weekend against Tennessee State. The Panthers are expecting to see a very physical defensive team from Tennessee State on Saturday and also expects the Tigers receivers to keep the Eastern secondary busy all game. Johnathan Brantley is listed as the starting quarterback for the game, but head coach Kim Dameron says the team will also still play Harry Woodbery there as well.

Men’s Soccer

DILL AN SCHORFHEIDE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Members of the Eastern soccer team warm up before a match with Evansville at Lakeside Field on Aug. 31. The men’s soccer team is 2-3-2 this season.

If one thing has helped and will help Eastern this year, it is the offense. Coming off last year, when the Panthers only scored 10 goals in the entire season, creating chances to score and capitalizing on them was and still is a major focus for Kiki Lara and his team. Through seven matches, just under the halfway mark of the season, the Panthers have scored five goals, half of last season’s total. Christian Sosnowski was pegged as an important player for Eastern by Lara at the start of the season, and he leads the team with two goals. Shady Omar, Toby Andrews and Kris Luke have each added a goal as well. Friday’s match will be a good point for Eastern to see where they are offensively and smooth out the system before conference play.

Swimming

Women’s Soccer

The Eastern swimming team has not actually competed in a real tournament this season, but they have competed in one exhibition and will compete in another this Saturday. Both exhibitions will be at the Padovan Pool located in Lantz. Last season, Eastern’s men’s team was 4-1, the women finished 4-2.

The Eastern women’s soccer team may have a losing record this season, but are currently tied for 1st-place in the OVC standings. Their overall record is 2-4-3 and their conference record is 1-0-1. The Panthers are led on offense by a trio of players. Sarah DeWolf, Lexi Ketterhagen and Haylee Renick have each scored two goals this season to lead the team. On defense, the Panthers are anchored by junior Lindsey Carlson and senior Kate Olson, who have each earned OVC Defensive Player of the Week honors this season. Goalkeeper Sara Teteak was recently named OVC Goalkeeper of the Week and is tied for first in the conference in shutouts in this, her junior year.

FAMILY WEEKEND | SEPT. 21, 2018

Family Weekend Football: Extra intensity brought to football team By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports Some of Eastern’s football players have the luxury of parents that can make the trip to Charleston for every home game to watch their sons compete on the football field. Other players only see their families in the stands for maybe one or two games a season. Regardless, this Saturday when the Panthers play Tennessee State on family weekend, families who travel for every game and those that do not will all be in the stands at O’Brien Field rooting on Eastern. Having their parents in the crowd gives the players an added intensity as they always want to perform at a higher level when their families are in attendance. “I think (family weekend) is always a great thing you know when you’ve got families that can come and make it,” Eastern head football coach Kim Dameron said. “Some of these guys have their family come every week, some of them they only get to come once or twice a year, so yeah, anytime its one of those where they don’t get to come all the time, but then they show up, there is a little added intensity. The Eastern football team however is notorious for having families that

travel well, whether or not its family weekend or a conference game in November. “Its not just family weekend, we have families that try to make it all the time,” Dameron said. What Dameron and the rest of the program are really hoping for however, is to see the families of students in attendance at the game. Whatever added energy having their own families in attendance brings to the athletes, having the stands packed with fans brings even more energy. “The thing that I would hope is that the rest of the students here on campus get their families to come and bring them to the game. That’s what family weekend is all about , it’s not about really our team and their family, it’s about our fans, our students especially and their families and if we can get them here, then we’ll have a good crowd.” Eastern is 5-5 in the last ten years on family day, last season they lost to Illinois State 44-13. In 2016 however, the Panthers clobbered Austin Peay 56-35. The game begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, tickets are free to all students when they show their student ID. Tailgating is located West of the stadium. JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.

What Family Weekend means for Eastern’s men’s soccer By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist After having to wait two and a half weeks before its next home match, Eastern’s men’s soccer team will host its third home match on Friday against Northern Illinois. To be fair, the Panthers would have had a home match last Wednesday, but Lakeside Field was unplayable from the previous weekend’s rain. But forgetting that the team has been gone from Charleston for awhile, the important thing is that the Panthers will be home on Family Weekend at Eastern. This can be a vital weekend for Eastern. A few reasons supplement this statement. For one, the Panthers have not won a home match this season, tying Evansville 1-1 in its first home match and losing 1-0 to Green Bay in the second home match. What better way to get a home win under your belt than in front of an audience of your family and friends. Secondly, for that exact reason: families and friends of the players will be in the audience. Having people who are close to the players watching them live and in-person, yelling and screaming and cheering them on, can give an unmatched type of confidence boost for the players. And having that extra support and cheering from fans could be important for Eastern nabbing a victory this weekend, which will in turn help

them for the season. The Panthers are coming off a 2-0 loss to Wright State where they only got off five total shots, two of which were on goal. The result of the match is not terribly worrying, considering Eastern has improved offensively this year and has been tough defensively, which the team prides itself in. But before the conference play starts, a sour taste is not what Eastern wants. Having to go against Summit League foes, especially Denver who is rolling this year, after having a bad stretch of matches is not a formula for success to get ahead in the conference standings. Also, considering Eastern’s first

conference match is against Denver at home, getting back to its so far usual form this weekend will be good preparation for Denver. This weekend, the Panthers need to make the most of the situation and feed off the crowd’s energy to get a win and get back to the level it is used to playing at, after being shut out by Wright State. Not to mention, Northern Illinois (5-2) will be a good matchup for Eastern to see where the team stands because the Huskies defeated one of Eastern’s conference foes, Fort Wayne, 4-2.

By Adam Tumino Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports This year, Family Weekend clashes with an important weekend of matches for the Eastern women’s soccer team. On Sept. 21, reigning OVC champions Murray State come to Lakeside Field, followed on Sept. 23 by Austin Peay, who currently sits atop the OVC standings with Eastern. Eastern junior goalkeeper Sara Teteak and junior defender Lindsey Carlson are looking forward to both the matches and the family festivities. “We have a lot of support from very committed parents to see their daughters get a chance to play at this level,” Carlson said. “It’s just a great thing to see,” Teteak said of the support. Carlson said that she has been spreading the word for the weekend matches to more than just family. “We’ve told our friends as well, to get all the support we can get,” she said. The match against Murray State in

particular stands out to the players. The Racers have won the OVC regular season title three years in a row and have the conference’s best winning percentage this season at .786. The match can have a big impact on the conference standings for weeks to come, even though it is only the third conference match. Carlson and Teteak said that they believe family weekend can provide a boost for the team. “They (the parents) love seeing their daughters play,” Carlson said. “They like to see how they grow throughout the years, ever since they were kids. It’s going to add that extra emotion for us on the field.” “It definitely helps,” Teteak said. “You feel the support and the confidence from your family and you want to play good for them. They’re one of the reasons I’m here. I want to give it my all.” Adam Tumino can be reached at 581-2812 or ajtumino@eiu.edu.
