Moore Brothers Band kicks off Doudna season By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor| @DEN_News The show started with a light haze as three young musicians stepped into the limelight. The Moore Brothers Band is a trio of young musicians from North Carolina who came to perform for the Charleston community Saturday in the Theatre in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The trio consists of Daniel Perry, 21, Jacob Moore, 17, and Isaac Moore, 13. The Moores met Perry at the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2010. Since then, the three have performed at hundreds of shows. Pattie Moore, the mother of Jacob and Isaac, was also at the concert. “ The performance was good,” Pattie Moore said. “The boys did some new material, which was good, and I thought they did a good job” The band performed in front of a crowd of about 70 people. “It’s been a lot of fun. We’ve really enjoyed coming up to the more Northwest area,” Jacob Moore said. “It’s been a lot of great people and the campus atmosphere and the facilities were wonderful. This was one of the nicest stages and theatres we’ve seen in a long time.” Daniel Perry, the oldest of the trio, said everyone in Doudna really helped them out a lot during the performance. “The crew and everybody that’s helped us out and has been facilitating us since we’ve been here has just been incredible,” Perry said. “The Doudna Center, the acoustics and the way they can really hone in our sound was just incredible. Overall, I think it’s a ten out of ten being out here.” In between songs, the band interacted with audience members by telling a few jokes to get them excited for the next act. Carole Everett, a Charleston resident, said she really enjoyed herself at the show. “I was very impressed. I was amazed at how young they were and how well they could play,” Everett said. “Many comments here were how can you keep your fingers from get-

ting sore from playing all that much time. It was very impressive to see young people so dedicated to do such a good job.” Dwight Vaught, the assistant dean of the college of arts and humanities, walked on stage before the band to say how he heard the band perform on TV, and now 18 months later, they were performing at Eastern. “I think it went great. They’re the kind of performers that we wanted to connect with not only the university, but also the community and the younger people,” Vaught said. “I think it was a great opening.” Some of the songs the band performed Saturday night included their own songs like
“Osmosis,” “He’ll Walk With You” and “The Diffusion.” The trio even performed classic songs like the Blue Brother’s “Sweet Home Chicago” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Good Luck, Bad Luck,” with their own spin. “I think it was a really good audience. The longer the show went I think they were really getting into it, and we were too,” Jacob Moore said. “I think they really enjoyed it, and we had a lot of fun playing for them.” Perry said they were surprised at the turnout given this was there first time performing in Illinois. “We were really surprised, I mean, be-
ing from North Carolina. I thought it was a great turnout,” Perry said. “I would have been surprised to see 50 people there for us.” The trio closed out their Doudna performance with a cover of Steppenwolf ’s “Magic Carpet Ride,” and received a standing ovation from everyone in attendance. “I know that Doudna, they had fliers all over the place,” Perry said. “They’ve done a great job getting us out there.” Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.
Employees voice fears, opinions following layoffs By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman Even with all her other responsibilities at Eastern, Patricia Sparks, an office support specialist for Andrews and Thomas Halls, was still able make meaningful connections with many students. Sparks, like many other faculty and staff members at Eastern, was told she was being laid off in August. Sparks said the best part of her job was interacting with the students. “I really enjoyed the kids,” she said. “They are like my own children. I’m like a second mom to them. Some have been here since they were freshmen. Now they’re seniors.” The fact that the students loved Sparks so dearly made leaving that much more difficult for her. “That’s going to be the hard part, missing the kids,” she said. As an office support specialist, Sparks did key and money audits, handled desk equipment, games, and questions from freshmen and other students. Sparks said she was told that Sept. 18
would be her last day. This was not something she expected at first. “I anticipated being moved, I did not anticipate being shut out and having nowhere to go on campus after 25 years,” she said. Because she has worked on campus for so long, Sparks thought she would have “ b u m p i n g r i g h t s ,” m e a n i n g s h e c o u l d choose to move to a different position on campus. However, bumping rights are based on an employee’s seniority in the position they are currently working at, and Sparks has worked many during her time at Eastern. “I got an upgrade on my job a couple of years ago, so I knew I was not real high on the seniority list,” she said. “But I have been the staff clerk, the chief clerk, the cashier.” Because of the years and the many jobs she has worked for Eastern, Sparks thought she would still have a place. “I figured between holding several positions, I’d be able to be bumped somewhere. I do feel like there had to be something wrong,” she said. Anne Youakim, an office support specialist in Taylor and Lawson Halls, who was laid off
around the same time, said she did not think it was fair.
“We’ve given all these years to the university, and we’re just left hanging. We’re done.” -Patricia Sparks, office support specialist “If you take a promotion to better yourself, and you end up fired, that’s not fair,” she said. Sparks said she knew of other individuals on campus who were just as shocked as she was, including another colleague who has also been at Eastern for more than 20 years. “We’ve given all these years to the university, and we’re just left hanging. We’re done.” she said. Despite her shock, Sparks feels no anger toward the university itself.
“I won’t say I’m angry, I was just floored and shocked,” she said. After being laid off, Sparks had the difficult task of telling her family members that she was no longer working at Eastern. She said they knew her job would change, but they did not know to what extent. “They were expecting me to tell them something,” Sparks said. “They were not expecting me to say Sept. 18 is my last day.” The question of how she will now afford insurance, which was formerly provided by the university, now lingers in Sparks’ mind. “The cost to pick up insurance is quite high,” she said. “ There’s no way in the world to get enough in unemployment to pay the $1,000 a month.” Sparks is also thankful for some of the measures the university has taken to help out those who have been laid off. The university provided information on unemployment, career services and ways to find new jobs. Sparks was also given a clearance sheet, which she will use when returning items back to the university.

Ludlow chosen to be Faculty Laureate By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor |@cjbuchman As the Faculty Laureate, English professor and coordinator of the Women’s Studies program Jeannie Ludlow feels very strongly on the importance of imparting knowledge onto students. Ludlow was chosen to be Eastern’s 2015-16 Faculty Laureate by the Council of Academic Affairs. As Faculty Laureate, she will be asked to represent the university at events and will help choose next year’s Faculty Laureate. “I wrote about how students can be empowered by knowing more about the world and learning and knowing how things work,” she said. “I teach about it in my classes.” Ludlow said all courses have learning objectives, where educators are supposed to aim for teaching students job skills like reading and writing instead of knowledge. Ludlow said that while learning these skills is important, it is also important for students to gain knowledge as well. “You can’t prove knowledge,” Ludlow said. “Four students can sit in the same class and learn different pieces of knowledge.” Ludlow said her opinionated personality has always been present in her life. “My dad says I was born this way,” she said. “He claims that I organized a protest in the first grade.” Although Ludlow does not remember this protest, she says her dad would not lie. Growing up in a small town, Lud-

impressed me is how hard Eastern students work.” Ludlow said at other schools, students did not always struggle as much in their lives as Eastern students did. Many times, they would try to get a higher grade by asking her instead of working on it. Students would even follow her into the bathroom trying to argue about their grades with her. “Students here do not have that same sense of entitlement,” she said. “That’s why I feel honor-bound to speak up on their behalf.” While she does not want students to feel entitled in a negative way, Ludlow said she wants them to feel entitled to claiming their education, to having their ideas taken seriously and to be respected as scholars.
Ludlow’s drive and dedication to her students is where the title of her speech, “Claim Your Education,” came in for the freshmen and transfer student convocation. “I chose this title because 'claim' does have this sense of entitlement to it,” she said. “This is what I hope for students. I hope students will claim the knowledge they need.” She saw this claim in one student who came to her office to get help with a paper. “I told her this is a good solid B paper, and she asked me what to do to get an A,” Ludlow said. “She was saying she has a claim to that A.” Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

our lives and we don’t know the good or bad it can do to our community,” Williams said. “PAECE is a free speech zone, you can say whatever you want to and feel however you want, like with social networks.“ Williams said PAECE got 160 signatures at Pantherpoolza. She said from those she could expect at least 30 people to show up at the meeting. This year the organization also saw many signatures from men. Williams said budget cuts and their effects would be one of the topics for the RSOs this year. “It affected a lot of us, and a lot of the staff that we love and a lot of the staff who were passionate no longer remain,” Williams said. She said along with talking about budget cuts, she wants to see the separation on campus change for the better. “If we’re not diverse, we’re going to have the same opinion,” Williams said. “People find who they like and sit at that same table with the same people the rest of their college career.” She said Eastern would only grow stronger if powerful organizations
come together on campus and show students separation is not an option. “We don’t come together often. The black Greeks and the white Greeks don’t come together,” Williams said. “We never come together and have events and I feel that if we came together this campus would be an amazing place.” Williams said outlets can be found around campus for topics like separation, and PAECE is where students can go and not be judged for being themselves. “PAECE is where I went to vent and where people can come to express their ideas through talent,” Williams said. “We are a RSO for talent, and if you want to express yourself through music, or through, or dance, this is the place to do it.” PAECE will have meetings every Tuesday in the Effingham room. “Shamerea started it, and she planted the seed, and I want it to grow with me,” Williams said.

low was not always as exposed to the world as she is now. She was raised in a small, rural town and went to college in Danville, Ludlow said she was not able to see what represented inequality and why it should be fixed until enrolling in higher education. “We had quite a few Iranian international students,” she said. “On the first day, my calculus professor came in and told us how great he was, then pointed to a group of Iranian students, and said ‘In this country, we read left to right.’ I was sure he was trying to humiliate them in front of the class.” It was the first time she really saw racism and xenophobia somewhere that was not on TV. “Students here are different,” she said. “One of the things that really

Bookstore hosts open mic night for local artists Musicians, poets and comedians performed at open mic night Friday. By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News Audience members enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of open mic night Friday at Bob’s Bookstore. The activity was started by owner Joe Judd a few months ago. At first, there were three consistent performers who came every week.
“I know Joe’s been really open about literally any form of art or artistic expression, if anyone want to do anything all, they’re welcome to.” - Harrison Rollings, Charleston resident Some of the acts of the night included poetry readings, musical performances and even some comedy acts going on during the show. Harrison Rollings, a Charleston resident, was not only the first act
of the night, but was the host. “They started a couple a months ago and Aaron and I and Seth too have been playing there every week,” Rollings said. “Last night was my first night hosting, and it was a lot of fun, calling people up and making a good environment. It’s like a show and tell type thing.” Rollings said he usually performs his own songs and tries to write songs through out the week. “I know Joe’s been really open about literally any form of art or artistic expression, if anyone wants to do anything at all, they’re welcome to,” Rollings said. “ Personally, I’d like to see more acoustic acts, I’d like to see some poets or slam poets. Other than that, with the equipment we have there is not much we can do.” Aaron Jenkins was one of the first consistent performers at Bob’s since open mic night started. Normally sticking to performing music, Jenkins changed it up this time, performing a small comedy routine. “I usually perform music. This was the first time that I actually performed comedy,” Jenkins said. “People told me that I could try comedy because I’m always really funny when I do music and then I do it.” Jenkins also said he usually performs music with his friend, Roll-

Forum to educate students on participation By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News The men of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will be gathering students in the “Welcome Back” forum at 7:06 p.m. Thursday in the Coleman Auditorium. The forum is targeted toward the freshmen and will act as a sur vival guide to help students through their first semester. Kendall Fields, the organization’s historian, said he began to sketch out the making of the forum after the other members came up with ideas. “We had a chapter meeting and we came up with a forum because we wanted to be the ones to have the first forum to set the tone for
the campus,” Fields said. The forum starts at 7:06 p.m. because 1906 was the year the fraternity was founded and members thought seven would be a reasonable time to ask students to attend the event. “ We s t a r t e d o n t h i s b e f o r e school started, because we wanted everything set in stone, so when school began we had something to present to the students,” Fields said. Fields said he would be speaking at the forum, along with his fraternity brothers who will chime in from time to time. Though the forum is meant for new students, Fields said returning students can gain knowledge from the forum as well.
“This is a new year and a fresh start for everybody, and hopefully this will bring out the upperclassmen as well because it brings a positive energy on campus,” Fields said. Fields said guiding freshmen through their first year will mold them into better students. It will also help them channel their right to speak freely. Fields said freshmen are the next class to past down traditions and if they do not agree with something on campus they have upperclassmen to give them advice. “If there is something that they don’t like on campus they will hopefully be able to speak up about it knowing there are people who will listen,” Fields said.
Fields said he wants everyone to come out and have a good time, but he also wants to establish an educated setting. “ St u d e n t s s h o u l d re m e m b e r why they came to college, and the struggle it might have taken to get here,” Fields said. “Some students may have had it easy, and some had it hard, so just keep that in mind.” Fields said educating others on how to participate is vital because teachers have two kinds of students engraved in their mind. The student who goofed off, as well as the student who never missed class. T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutler@eiu.edu.
that I internally feel, and I like to output that in some way and that happens to be with guitar.” Jenkins also said he loves coming to open mic nights and hosting the event with his friend. “ H a r r y a n d I a re i n a b a n d called Nine Wise, and we’re just two people that write songs, not really that type of band thing,” Jenkins said. “We’ve been coming here every Friday for the past two months or so.” Seth Asbell said he has per formed since the activity began. “I think I’ve missed one or two cause I work a lot,” Asbell said. “I’ve made it to almost all of them so far.” Asbell performs his own work while adding some covers of songs as well. “It all depends on how I feel that day,” Asbell said. “Mostly, I do my own originals because I promote my band along with it.” Asbell said when he plays songs with his band, it is different from what he intended them to be. “This is how I originally wrote the songs, so I can go in and kind of workshop them while I’m here, see if it works,” Asbell said. Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu.

Nothing better than the summer
Stephanie Markham
Riding solo is underrated Some people think they need the comfort of a group to have fun at a concert. However, being at an event where communicating verbally is nearly impossible and the building is overflowing with sweaty bodies as it is, you may have a better experience going alone. Expectations dictate that if you are going to see any type of performance for entertainment purposes, someone must accompany you lest you have obvious social deficiencies. One of my favorite bands of all time was putting on a show near my home this summer. Going was not a question; I purchased my ticket as soon as they went on sale. The only thing I was not so sure of was whom would I be able to get to go with me. It is a hard life for a metal fan, and a female one at that. I have very few friends who enjoy the same genre of music as I do. Metal is not played on the radio or MTV, where the average listener might venture to hear new music, and the metal community suffers from a lot of stereotypes and misinterpretations from the general public. Just because none of your friends share your enthusiasm for your favorite band does not mean you should sit in your room and cry because you will miss them yet again. I did not, and not only do I not regret my decision to go to a concert by myself for the first time, I had a blast and would definitely do it again. Especially in a smaller, club-type venue, space is limited, so more bodies generally means more shoving, sweating, and having a harder time finding somewhere to squeeze in and stand among the crowd. When you are by yourself at a concert, you can arrive at whichever time you want. If it is your favorite group you have been idolizing since you were 13 finally going on tour near your city, you probably want to show up in advance to be able to get closer to the stage. If you are less enthusiastic or do not mind standing in back, you will probably want to get there as the show opens, or maybe after the opening bands are finished. Generally you will be screaming between songs in your friends’ ears to be able to tell them anything anyway. If you really want to socialize, this would be a great time to find new friends; you already have something in common with everyone around you. If you fear going to a concert alone for safety reasons, just make sure you check out the venue ahead of time. Read online reviews and call the owners to be certain they have proper security. Concert etiquette has dictated every show I have been to, and the common practice is to help someone up who has fallen and make sure they are OK. So, do not worry about people judging you for going to a concert alone. Chances are, they will be too busy watching the performance anyway, and you can do that as well with more focus if you aren’t distracted by your friends’ needs to use the bathroom again.

JEHAD ABBED | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Staff Editorial
Freedom of speech belongs to anyone on campus It is the start of a new semester, which means it is time for another visit from Brother Jed and other members of The Campus Ministry. Brother Jed and others came to speak to students and spread their beliefs outside of the Doudna Performing Arts Center at the Mellin Steps Thursday. The group travels to different college campuses with a mission to convert as many students to Christianity as possible. In the process of spreading their beliefs, members of the group may seem extreme with the things they say to students. Students have said that the members tell students that “they are going to hell” if they do not have the same beliefs as The Campus Ministry. While students may become upset at the things Brother Jed and others say and may want the group to leave, the members have the right to be here.
The First Amendment gives the group the right to assemble and speak to students about their beliefs. Students stop by to talk with the group and may become upset at what the group has to say. Like the group has the right to come to campus and spread their beliefs, students have the right to walk away from the group. If a student is angry with the visits from Brother Jed and the other members of the group, the best thing a student can do is to simply walk away and ignore them. The group has been coming to campus for many years, and they will continue to come to campus for years to come. People overreact to what the group has to say and become furious, but students need to remember that they do not have to go to the Mellin Steps when the group visits. Students do not have to listen to what the group has to say. The group is spreading their opinions and
beliefs to students who want to listen, and naturally there will be people who do not agree with what is being said. Overreacting to the group would not solve anything. A possible reason the group continues to come is that they draw a large crowd on campus. The crowd may not be a happy one, and they may be there to argue against the ministry, but a crowd is a crowd. The ministry wants people who disagree to approach them because it helps their mission of trying to convert the religion of students. The group has every right to freedom of speech to help spread their message, and students have the choice to just ignore what is being said if it truly makes them upset. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Making America great again can be simple Before I start, I want to say that I do not really come from a very political family. Politics were never a huge part of my life and normally, I would just ignore the ongoing scandals that seem to come from this. This is especially true when it comes to the presidential election season. This year, we have people like Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush and Donald Trump. Yes, that is correct. Donald Trump, reality TV personality and billionaire, announced his interest in running for president. The guy’s campaign slogan is “Make American Great Again,” which, to me, is another politician trying to get some publicity and more people to support him. I just thought this was nothing more than trying to gain the republican nomination. I was already getting ready to tune out this election once again, and then I heard Trump’s candidacy announcement speech and that was the moment that I started to pay attention to this election. As I’m sure many of you already know, Trump is somewhat of a controversial figure, but it is his recent actions and remarks that caught my attention. First off, Trump’s thoughts and remarks on illegal immigration really set me off. In his speech, Trump said that when Mexico sends its people over to the United States, they are sending their worst. Afterwards, he said that he believes that some of them are good people.
Managing Editor Katelyn Siegert
News Editor Roberto Hodge
Luis Martinez Now, point of clarification, I am not Mexican; I’m Puerto Rican by heritage. Some of my closest friends are Mexican, but they are not bad people. Saying that Mexico is not sending its best without really knowing anything about who is coming into the country is assuming a lot, and Trump is just reveling in all of the media attention he is getting. I was actually shocked to see that Trump was an early favorite among the candidates, because I believe that many people in this day and age are more mindful of facts rather than assumptions. Yes, there are some bad people that can and have come into our country, but what about the people who want to escape bad situations and have a good life. This is primarily why many people come to the U.S., because it is a land of opportunities.

Of course, Trump opened his mouth again, and during his interview on “Meet The Press” said he would reverse President Obama’s immigration orders and send all undocumented immigrants back, even those who were born in the U.S. and are technically citizens, as stated by the 14th amendment of the constitution. Trump wants to keep families together, but kick them out at the same time. Honestly, to me, it’s all been one huge media circus that I almost feel like I’m watching some bad reality TV. I mean out of all people, Trump does not even remotely fit into the Presidential puzzle. In fact, should Trump’s immigration idea come to fruition, what will happen to the rest of the nation? How many people will be forced to leave, and how will that affect the hierarchies that many people choose to ignore? Donald Trump is a lot of things. He believes that he can do no wrong, everything he says is right, and that people are “misquoting” what he says, but there is one thing that Trump will never be, President of the United States, and that’s what makes America great again.

By Mackenzie Freund City Editor | @mgfreund_news The Mattoon/Charleston Tornado of May 26, 1917 is said to be the third deadliest tornado to hit Illinois, according to the National Weather Service. William Lovekamp, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Eastern, presented his research of the tornado at the “Coles Co. and the 1917 tornado” event Sunday at the Five Mile House. Lovekamp said he has been doing research on disasters for about 15 years and just began doing research on the 1917 Mattoon/Charleston Tornado back in the spring. Lovekamp teaches a course about the sociology of disasters and said he already had interest in the research. “I thought this was a good opportunity to do something that’s local,” Lovekamp said. “It was one of the most significant and deadly tornados in the state.” Through his research, Lovekamp found that roughly 53 people were killed and 409 people were injured in Mattoon, and 38 were killed

and more than 180 were injured in Charleston. L ove k a m p s a i d t h e e s t i m a t ed damage costs were about $1.28 million in Mattoon and just under $800,000 in Charleston. Adjusted for inflation, these figures would have been just under $24 million in Mattoon and nearly $15 million in Charleston had the tornado hap-
pened in 2015. Even though they are thought of as first responders, the police and fire departments were secondary responders compared to the members of the community, Lovekamp said. Lovekamp said neighbors and other members of the community went out to help in any way they could before the first responders ar-

rived. “I absolutely love reading the stories of the community and how neighbors help neighbors,” Lovekamp said. Dick Hummel, the vice president of the FMH’s board of directors, and Gary Foster, a committee member for the FMH, knew about Lovekamp’s research and asked Lovekamp to come present his research. Lovekamp said the FMH tries to host events and presentations that are historically specific to the area. Lovekamp said he still has some research to do over the next year and a half before the 100th anniversary of the Tornado. “I would absolutely love for there to be some commemoration of some sort,” Lovekamp said. Before the presentation started, there were demonstrations at different parts of FMH property, along with an activity for children and musical entertainment. Mackville, a bluegrass/gospel band, performed during the event. Terry Schlabach, the upright bass player for Mackville, said they have been playing at some of the FMH events for about five years.
Schlabach said the FMH usually would ask them to come back and

Myrna Madigan and Jeannie Ahasay, volunteers at the FMH, were also demonstrating how to spin yarn. Madigan said the women of the house would spin wool or animal fleece into yarn so they would have something to weave with. Children were allowed to make their own clay marbles in yet another demonstration. Participants smashed dr y clay into powder, mixed it with water and shaped it into marbles of various styles.

Drivers compete for grand prize at speedway Saturday By Mackenzie Freund City Editor | @mgfreund_news After working on his 1977 Dodge Dart for 11 years, Ron Hill’s newly designed car made its return to racing. Hill, a Villa Park Ill. resident, has been racing in his Dart since 1990, and won the 1998 Pro class championship with it. Hill, who loves the competitive aspect of racing, was one of the professional class racers at the “Big Dollars August” racing event at the Coles County Dragway on Saturday evening. The race was open to all classes, but only the Pro class winner took home the grand prize of $2,000. The different classes are categorized according to horsepower and driver experience. The Sportsman class is typically for people who are just starting out. The Pro class is the intermediate racers and the Super-Pro class is for the more advanced drivers with well-built cars.
John Seabrooke, an employee at the drag strip, said he has been working at the Dragway for about three years. He drives from Paxton Ill. every weekend to work. “I drive 85 miles to get here every weekend,” Seabrooke said. “I think I have only missed two Fridays in my three years of working here” Seabrooke is the tech inspector and ensures that cars are safe prior to a race. He also serves as track photographer. Seabrooke explained that a typical race day starts with each class going through two time trials before they go into the elimination rounds. The race on Saturday had an estimated 90 cars across all classes. 52 cars raced for the Pro class grand prize. Tom Harlin, a Mattoon resident, entered his built-fromscratch 1977 Camaro into the Pro class race. Harlin said he has been racing

at the Dragway since 1988. He said that races feel like a family gathering, and that his favorite event was when BP hosted a race with a grand prize of $10,000. Rob Fisher, a Humboldt Ill. resident, said he has been racing since the dragstrip opened back up in 1987. Fisher said he loves the compe-
tition, the friends and sometimes the payout. Fisher built a 1966 Chevelle wagon he races in the Pro class, a 1 9 8 3 Ma l i b u w a g o n f o r t h e Sportsman class and a 1978 Malibu, which his girlfriend races. Each weekend in August there are designated days for different classes to win a grand prize. The different monetary prizes
depend on what class a driver is in and can range anywhere from $400 to $2,000.

In Yo u a k i m’s c a s e , s h e had to break the news to her husband. “He did say we’ll have to tighten our belts,” she said. “It will be tight financially.” Both Sparks and Youakim said something they will focus on in their last moments
at Eastern is keeping up a strong facade for the students they work with. “ You can’t let the kids know, especially with parents moving in,” Youakim said. “You have to try not let them know it affects you. ” She said the week of move-in was probably the worst time for the layoffs to occur. The layoff notices were given to the hall secretaries during what Sparks said was the “busiest time of the year,” which was a few days before move-in. “Now, I’ve got extra stuff
I need to be doing, like researching and making a decision on what I’m doing,” Sparks said. Although she was visibly upset about being laid off, even tearing up when speaking about it, Youakim said her faith along with the support from her husband will help her. “Whatever happens, happens for a reason,” Youakim said.

Panthers volleyball wins IPFW invitational By Sean Hastings Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team posted a perfect 3-0 record to win the Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne Invitational over the weekend. The Panthers were down 2-0 to Central Michigan in the second match of the weekend, but won three straight sets to get the win. After losing the first two sets by scores of 25-19 and 24-16, the Panthers came out strong and got the ball rolling in the third, winning 25-15. After winning the fourth set 2520, the Panthers came out and won the deciding fifth set 15-13. The Panthers scored first on an attacking error by Central Michigan sophomore Jordan Bueter as senior Marah Bradbury and Allie Hueston recorded the block. The teams traded points almost the entire set, but the Panthers scored two in a row to take a big 13-11 lead. They would trade points once again, but it wasn’t enough as the Panthers scored that final 15th point. Senior Chelsea Lee killed home the final point on an assist from senior Marah Bradbury. Bradbury had 45 assists in the match. Eastern coach Sam Wolinski was very happy with how the team was able to fight through and get the match win. “(I’m) very proud of the way our team fought to come back from an 0-2 deficit and win the match,” Wolinski said.
Bradbury helped contribute to the kills by dishing out 42 assists in the match. Senior Stephanie Wallace led the team with 21 digs in the match. In the final match of the weekend the Panthers earned a clean sweep of IPFW 3-0, (25-18, 25-18, 28-26). Wolinski said their side out game was outstanding in the first two sets along with their serving game. Overall, Wolinski said she was very proud of what they were able

Men’s soccer splits games over weekend Women’s By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team earned a split in its two games over the weekend after defeating Lipscomb 3-1 Sunday and losing 8-0 Friday to nationally ranked Xavier. Trailing 1-0 early in the first half against Lipscomb, sophomore Tyler Oliver tied the game at the 48:45 mark in the second half. Justin Oliver then gave Eastern a 2-1 lead about two minutes later for his first goal of the season. Sophomore Dominic Recca put in a cross from Tyler Oliver at the 64:08 mark of the second half to give Eastern a 3-1 lead, which they would hold for the rest of the game. 19 different players saw the field for Eastern as new head coach Kiki Lara was playing a variety of lineups in his first game. Nine of those 19 were seeing their first action at the collegiate level. Sophomore goalkeeper Mike Novotny got the start in net for Eastern after starting in 15 games last season. He made seven saves in the loss. Lara said that his team did not c o m e i n t o t h e g a m e p re p a re d enough physically. Lara also said that the team relearned Friday that to play at a top 25 level, you have to play at a high physical level. He also said that the team is a little naïve at the moment and they still have a lot to learn when playing a team like Xavier.
