‘Song Stage’ competition returns Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_news After having a good time working on a documentary about a musician and composer in Utah, Producer Roy Wells and his partner Ryan Wiggins got the idea to take their music initiative to a higher level. That is when the idea for the music competition program, “Song Stage Midwest” was born. “After (the documentary) we thought it would be fun to do more features or documentaries like this,” Wiggins said. “We (wanted) to do it in more of a show format, and Roy thought it’d be fun to put (the musicians) headto-head.” The second season of “Song Stage” will be filmed Friday, Sept. 9 at Eastern in the Doudna Fine Arts Center with the help of WEIU-TV, television producers, and camera crews from Chicago and St. Louis. In the spring, the finale will be broadcasted on regional PBS stations. Wiggins will be hosting the live finale show. “(This year) is going to be a bigger production, a much bigger venue than last time with more crew (members) and more cameras,” Wells said. “Everything will be a little bigger this season.” “Song Stage” is a music competition, similar to “American Idol” and “The Voice,” but the focus is not just on vocals. This competition takes into consideration songwriting, singing and the contestant’s ability to play instruments.

The Charleston Police department was able to eliminate several people as suspects for a robbery at Prairie State Bank Wednesday. As of press time, the suspect has not been identified. Deputy Chief Chad Reed said the employees at Prairie State Bank did a good job in being able to note details about the suspect. “They gave an excellent description of the suspect,” Reed said. The employees were able to give details on the suspect’s clothing, marks on his body and speech patterns. During the robbery, which was reported around 2:33 p.m. Wednesday, the suspect entered the building, demanded money and left. According to a press release sent by the CPD, the suspect displayed a weapon that was described as a silver-colored revolver. To help banks deal with these situations, the CPD puts on programs with area banks where they go over protocol and procedures for what to do during a robbery. CPD even works with banks to stage mock robberies for practice, Reed said. Reed said this information is important to be able to locate the suspect. CPD, page 5

The Marvin Foyer in Booth Library is decorated with displays of historical moments and people from the civil rights era to prepare for this semester’s traveling exhibit. The library will be hosting several programs in, “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights” from Thursday to Thursday, Oct. 20. Ellen Corrigan, an associate professor, said the civil rights traveling exhibit was originally requested four years ago for the anniversary of the movement, but the library was not able to get the exhibit until now because it was so booked. “It works out because right now we are facing a presidential election where things like civil rights are a big deal,” Corrigan said.

“It works out because right now we are facing a presidential election where things like civil rights are a big” -Ellen Corrigan, associate professor and exhibit director The library would also be collaborating their programs with the Tarble Arts Center because of the gallery “A Dark Matter,” which ties in with the civil rights theme with a more contemporary perspective. Corrigan said she thinks the program is important because everybody

deserves the same rights and freedoms. “(Civil rights) is still a big topic today, even 60 years after,” Corrigan said. The theme for each exhibit and which exhibit is to be featured is chosen by the library planning committee.

The opening reception for the program will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8 in the West Reading Room of Booth Library. The reception will have light refreshments and feature keynote speaker Janice Collins, an assistant professor in journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an

Emmy, Associated Press and Best of Gannet award-winning journalist. Collins’ research focuses on demarginalization, self-empowerment, leadership development and gender and race in the media, college classrooms and newsrooms. The reception will also feature other speakers including Eastern President David Glassman, who will introduce Collins. Collins will also give her presentation, “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Race, Relations and Reflection,” 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8 in the west reading room of the library. Her presentation will discuss how visual culture in the media gives a voice to the marginalized. A few other programs for the semester will include other art exhibits, a musical perspective of the movement, a book discussion and much more. Corrigan said the program includes several disciplines so the exhibit would be well rounded in educating attendees. For more information on the exhibit, those interested can visit the library’s website: http://library.eiu. edu/news/event/world-see-visualculture-struggle-civil-rights/ Abbey Whittington can be reached at 581-2812 or anwhittington@eiu. edu

CAA approves new psychology courses Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News The Council on Academic Affairs voted to approve two new psychology courses Thursday. The two courses are psychology 3760, Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making, and psychology 4810, Neuropsychopharmacology. The CAA heard arguments about why these courses should take place from psychology professors Dr. Caridad Brito and Dr. Jeffrey Stowell. Brito said the judgment and decision-making class is a standard and cognitive course and will cover theories about decisions people make. “It is not so much a practical course where you can take it and say ‘Well, what can I do to make the best decisions?’” Brito said. “It really is about conceptual models of the decision process that individuals engage in.” In the course proposal, the CAA found an error under “enrollment re-

strictions” which accidentally said no one could attend the course, instead of saying that everyone could take it. When they voted, the CAA made a correction to the proposal to fix this. The vote was then passed unanimously. The CAA then moved onto the second course proposal, which was for Neuropsychopharmacology.

“Students seem to get excited when you talk about drugs and how they affect the brain,” Stowell said. Stowell said other classes touch on how drugs affect people on a cultural and behavioral level, but this class will go deeper than that. This course will go to the receptor and neurotransmitter level, so it needs biological psychology as a pre-

“Students seem to get excited when you talk about drugs and how they affect the brain” -Dr.Jeffrey Stowell, psychology professor Stowell described it as a course with a prerequisite that will be part of a neuroscience major, which the psychology and biological sciences department are working on together. The prerequisite course is biological psychology. The course covers a book chapter about neurotransmitters in the brain, and how drugs alter them.

requisite. The committee found a pair of typos in the proposal saying the class can be used as an elective, and the course number was listed incorrectly. The CAA corrected this and voted to unanimously pass the course. CAA Chair Dr. Marita Gronnvoll said the meeting went smoothly. She

saw no problems with the courses outside of a couple of typos in the course proposals themselves. Gronnvoll said she liked how when it comes to creating courses or revising existing ones, departments are usually practical. “What I have noticed is how hard departments are working to accommodate students,” Gronnvoll said. Gronnvoll said next week’s meeting may be canceled because of a lack of subjects to cover. “Right now we have nothing in the pipeline,” Gronnvoll said. She said the CAA cancels its meetings every now and then, especially at the beginning of the semester and after deadlines. Gronnvoll said she would make a decision about whether or not to cancel the next meeting when this week’s minutes go up online. Samuel Nusbaum can be reached at 581-2812 or scnusbaum@eiu.edu

CTF gives local opportunities to volunteers By Janet Pernell Multicultural Reporter | @DEN_News

After a successful last semester, the Charleston Transitional Facility is coming back to Eastern this fall. The CTF provides programs to adults in the Charleston community who have mental disabilities. Volunteers can work with these adults at Eastern every Thursday starting Sept. 15. Members of the CTF will bring eight to 10 participants from their program. Pa r t i c i p a n t s f r o m C T F w i l l spend time with volunteers doing

activities such as walking around campus and eating lunch. If the weather permits, participants will walk around the quad if not, they will walk around in the McAfee Gymnasium. Beth Gillespie, the interim director of civic engagement and volunteerism, is looking for six to eight individuals to volunteer with the CTF participants. St u d e n t s c a n v o l u n t e e r a n d spend 90 minutes with people from the CTF or be a part of a group that will plan the activities. CTF first came to Eastern last spring.

“I am really excited that the campus embraced this program in the spring so that we can continue it on through the fall,” Gillespie said. “I think it’s a great way for different student groups to get involved.” This semester, the CTF will be longer than six weeks. It will begin Sept. 15 and end in the beginning of December. Gillespie said she hopes the CTF can have a repeat of last year’s success. “I think this is a great way to bring students together to support the individuals at CTF,” Gillespie said. “If you’ve got 90 minutes, it’s

a great way to give back and help make somebody’s day a little bit brighter.” Gillespie said being with the people from the CTF is less intimidating than it seems because they are happy people. “It can feel like an intimidating population if you haven’t spent much time with them, but they are, 95 percent of the time, super excited about what we’re doing and just being here on campus and spending time with our students,” Gillespie said. “The individuals that are coming and the staff that comes from CTF are cheerful and hap-

py to be here and glad to be doing something different than what their typical days look like.” Gillespie said it is important to do activities as a community. “It’s important to take care of each other, and this a great way to support the individuals who participate at CTF, give them a chance to come and see how beautiful our campus is, how awesome our students are, and do something different than what they normally get to experience,” Gillespie said.

Preview for the Year

Staff Editorial

Keep Eastern informed, not coddled Eastern President David Glassman will address the university once again in his State of the University Address next week, giving him the opportunity to answer some of the questions students, faculty, staff and locals may have. After a tumultuous year dealing with a budget impasse, the loss of staff members and a tightening fiscal situation, the university needs to hear about what the plans are from the man in charge. We at The News hope that Glassman will be as candid and objective as possible in his speech and will tell people what they need to know, instead of just what they want to hear. As written in Wednesday’s issue of The Daily Eastern News, Glassman is planning on talking about his plans for the university’s recovery as well as what the administration is planning to do to move forward over the next four years. As Glassman will “touch upon on subjects that affect the everyday lives of students, faculty and staff,” we believe it is important for him to be as open, transparent and truthful as possible to assuage people’s doubts and questions on the health of the university. Even if the news is not necessarily good, it needs to be heard. As we wrote in Tuesday’s editorial, people need to be open to hearing this news, but the president should also provide them with the information they need. In Wednesday’s article, it was written that Glassman said he wants to recognize Eastern’s strengths and weaknesses. While it could potentially be tempting to emphasize the strengths and downplay the weaknesses he sees, this will only hinder the university from making progress in the coming year. Hearing the things we need to focus on and ways we need help from the state and others will help us achieve our goals as a place of learning and help faculty, staff and students grow and make progress. Glassman said in The News that he has a plan to do this, as he wants to invest more heavily in marketing Eastern to prospective students through social media, billboards, radio and other media formats. Enhancing Eastern’s brand, Glassman said in the article, will increase enrollment, which has been a pressing issue on the minds of many in past years. These are all positive developments we all hope to see in the coming year. It will be great to hear about these initiatives in the speech and it will be informative to know what our weaknesses are and how we can overcome them in the speech.

COURTNEY SHEPHERD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

To outsiders, religion can be intimidating Religion, defined by a simple Google search, is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. As someone who grew up without a single church service experience other than weddings, funerals and a baptism, I can not remember a time in which hearing the word “religion” has not caused me to take three giant, cautious steps back. This is not because I have an issue with anyone’s faith which, defined by another simple Google search, is the strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. I have seen how the belief or faith in a higher power has bettered people’s lives, and if more people followed their faith with love instead of with hate, I would be much less intimidated by religion. With only a historical perspective on religion, it has admittedly been easier to find the bad than the good aspects in the following of a higher power(s). Religion seems to be the root of several issues for human rights including homopho-

Abbey Whittington bia, racism, sexism and much more. Radical religious groups who live and breathe by each drop of ink to fall on the pages of the Bible are generally responsible for preaching hatred and are the same ones to miss the Bible’s line “love thy neighbor as thyself ’ in Mark 12:31. It also shocks me that I, as well as others, have been asked how I have morals without a religion, as if I, or anyone else, needs something more than common sense to know right from wrong.

Using faith as a source of hope during our hard times in life is understandable, but blindly following an ideology and hating others for not living the same lifestyle is unhealthy and closed-minded. I am always more than willing to learn about religion to better understand why people practice it and to pinpoint the reasons I am against it; after all, it is one of the greatest freedoms we have in the United States. Personally, I believe religion was created to distract the human race from the fear of death and to give us a false hope of an everlasting life whether it be through reincarnation, Heaven, Hell and so on. Either way, no one breathing can give any evidence to support any kind of afterlife, and if there is I am sure some radical religious groups will be the first ones at the gates of a fiery Hell to greet me with an “I told you so.” Abbey Whittington is a sophomore journalism major.

Online learning brings new possibilities Are you interested in going back to school as an adult learner? Will you be able to learn anything at all? Are the instructors prepared to give you their undivided attention? These are some of the questions that you may be asking yourselves if you are an adult learner who is going back to school after years of being out of school. I am an adult learner and also an online student. When I first tried online learning I was petrified. I was so afraid that I would not understand how to do the work. I wondered what I would do if I failed. Thankfully things never got around to that scenario. The first day online was crazy: I had four classes and thought that I was going to lose my mind trying to keep up and at the same time be able to understand exactly what I was supposed to do. It was a nightmare. But after a week or two I started to enjoy the concept of online learning. First of all, I could go to school in my pajamas. I did not have to worry about looking good or smelling good, for that matter. I actually had control over my learning experience. It is not all fun and games, however. Being an online student requires you to be organized, self-motivated and able to control your time effectively so that you get all your assignments done. You cannot wait until the

Cindy Huff last minute of the last day to turn in your work. I had a lot of nail biting days, praying for success. The potential to learn is there if you are prepared to give it your all. While I have great enthusiasm for online learning I should warn you that it is not for everyone. If you are not an organized person, do not work well alone, or if you are the kind of student that does not like to read or write extensive papers that require a ton of research, then online learning is not for you. Students must be careful of the online learning pitfalls that may results in failure. Those particular pitfalls are another story for another day. As for today, it is an exciting time for edu-

cation because of all the new technology. We can get a degree without ever having to leave our house. Online learning gives us the opportunity to work and learn at our leisure. As for the course instructors who must be prepared to teach adult students online: their task is not an easy one. They must be properly trained in online delivery and methodologies or the adult learner will be compromised. All the instructors that I have had so far have been great. They are always available to answer any questions that I might have. I may have to wait a day or two for an answer, but I get it eventually. Online learning for adult students is hard. You have to use every mind trick that you know just to get through the classes. If you are an adult learner continuing on with your education and you want to take classes online, be prepared; this is not going to be a walk in the park or a swim in the pool or anything else fun and easy. It is going to be exciting, stimulating and a great big adventure, so tighten your seat-belts. Cindy Huff is a graduate student in aging studies. She can be reached at 581-2812 or clhuff2@eiu.edu.

The CPD located several people who somewhat fit the description given by bank employees, but they were later eliminated as suspects because they did not fit all the details. Reed said this gave the CPD more time to search for the real suspect. Community members called into the Coles County Crime Stoppers and CPD with people who fit the description police officers gave. The CPD, the Eastern Police Department and Coles County Sheriff Department were on the scene. “As far as I know, the call was placed by phone,” said Lt. Bennett. “We didn’t get a report of the bank alarm; we got a report from a phone call.” Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identity of the suspect is encouraged to message the CPD on their Facebook page or contact the Coles County Crime Stoppers at 866-345-8488.

Wiggins, as the host, will find ways to get the audience involved with what happens on stage, as well as interact with the performers on and offcamera. Wells said there is a comedic element to the show itself, especially when Wiggins tries to get the performers and the audience out of their comfort zones.

“(We do) weird stuff with the artists to let their personalities come out a little bit. (We) just do a lot of goofy questions; some stuff related to music and some stuff related to nothing,” Wiggins said. “We have fun and poke fun at the artists and even the audience. It’s all very interactive.” Wiggins said that this season will

be a memorable show that he hopes audience members and performers will look back on. “We take the music very seriously and everything else not very seriously,” Wells said. “We try not to take ourselves too seriously. We have fun with it and let the music speak for itself.”

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS

Men’s soccer team home for two games By JJ Bullock Men’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports Seeking their first win of the season, the Eastern (0-1-1) men’s soccer team will have a chance to notch their first mark in the win column in a pair of home games against of out-of-conference foes University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Marshall University this weekend at Lakeside Field. After ending the season opener against Eastern Kentucky in a 1-1 draw, the Panthers lost to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2-1. The Panthers return to Lakeside Field with an opportunity make a statement against a struggling UW-Green Bay (0-2) program. The UWGB program finished 2015 going 5-10-3, for their fourth consecutive losing season. Not only have the Phoenix lost both the games they’ve played this year, but they have also failed to score in both contests, losing 2-0 to Missouri State and 5-0 to Central Arkansas, while mustering just five total shots on the season. Despite the offensive str ug gles, second-year head coach Jeremy Bonomo will see the return of 2015 leading scorer Audi Jepson (4 goals, 12 points), among 14 other returners. Regardless of their playing struggles, Bonomo’s program will be no push over for the Panthers in the eyes of Eastern men’s soccer coach Kiki Lara. “Green Bay is a team that is currently in transition, they have

a new coach there, he’s been there now, this is his second season,” Lara said. “I know him well and they’re going to be a hard-working, organized team and a team that is trying to get their first win of the season.” Fo l l ow i n g t h e g a m e a g a i n s t UW-Green Bay, Eastern will face Marshall University (1-1) on Sunday. The Thundering Herd lost their first game to Western Michigan, followed by a 3-1 win over the University of Detroit. Marshall has enjoyed more success in recent years than Green Bay, finishing 8-9-2 last year while playing in Conference USA. Bob Grey, in his twenty-second season with

Marshall squad is not unfamiliar however to Lara. “I’ve played Marshall several times over my career,” Lara said. “They’re also a very blue-collar team, very hardworking, very athletic. They play in the Conference USA, it’s a league that you have to have athletes to be successful in. So they do that, they’ve done that, Coach Grey has done that for years and years, is to have organized and athletic teams.” While the two teams have had ver y different rates of success, Green Bay and Marshall both deliver similar styles of play through organization and hard work. “ Yo u k n ow Gre e n Ba y a n d

Marshall won’t be too different in that way,” Lara said. “So we will expect a very difficult matchup in both games, just in terms of physicality and breaking down an opponent.” Lara is confident however that his team stacks up evenly against both the Phoenix and Marshall. “There is no doubt in my mind that the men’s program is ready for competition,” Lara said. “These guys are definitely on an equal playing field and they just have to go out and perform.” With confidence levels high approaching the two weekend home games, Eastern doesn’t look at these games any different from a conceptual standpoint. “Nothing is viewed as a must win. Every game we approach with the exact same winning mentality,” Lara said. “I think for us it’s just about being consistent. For us, that’s a must. Specifically at home, we want to make sure that the people that come and watch us know what they’re going to get from us. Which is a gritty performance, hard-working performance, and an entertaining one; something that people will come out and enjoy and want to come back to. So it’s more of a must be consistent and less of a must-win.”

The Cross-country teams each share a similar goal for the season, making waves in the Ohio Valley Conference and improving times. Coach Erin Howarth said that she would like to see the teams make a name for themselves in the conference to begin their campaign. “(Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville) will be in attendance which means that we need to send a message to them from the start of the season that we are ready to contend with any and all OVC competition,” Howarth said. “It is always nice to beat Missouri Valley (Conference) schools and any other state schools in Illinois for that matter.” Howarth described SIUE as a consistently solid program with a knack for late pushes and passes in races, especially on the men’s side. Also competing in Friday’s meet are National Collegiate Athletic As-

sociation Div. I schools Evansville and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Kaskaskia College, Danville Area Community College, Lincoln College, Illinois Track and Cross Country Club and McKendree University’s men’s team. A personal and team goal Howarth said she hopes to see accomplished at the Panthers’ first meet is improvement on times between the top finishes. At t h e 2 0 1 5 Wa l t Cr a w f o rd Open, the men’s team earned the top two slots with a three second difference between first and second place, which went to seniors Riley McInerney and Paxson Menard respectively. The gap between Paxson and the team’s third finisher, senior Greg Rogers, was a 42 second difference. Howarth said she wants the runners to narrow those time gaps this time around. “My hope this year is that our top three are very close together,

with the addition of (senior) Tyler Yunk, when finishing and that our fourth is within 10 to 15 seconds of them,” Howarth said. “What will be interesting is who steps up in that fifth position.” Junior Maria Baldwin lead the women’s race last season, putting Eastern’s second place runner, senior Ivy Handley, behind her by 39 seconds. Howarth said she wants the topfour team finishers to come in at least 10 seconds apart from each other this year. The fifth place Panther will also be a vital finish for the women’s team to be championship-ready, she said. At last year’s opening meet, the men’s team placed first out of four teams with a 30-point team total. Yunk and junior Chris Orlow placed in the fourth and fifth team positions. The women also took home a first place win in the 2015 meet, combining for 21 overall points.

Column: Men’s soccer returns home

Senior Emily Breslfoard came in third for Eastern, followed by alumnae Amy Yeoman and Victoria Quarton. The Walt Crawford Open will be ran on the Tom Woodall Panther Trail in Charleston on Friday. The women’s five-kilometer race will begin at 4:45 p.m. followed by the men’s four-mile competition at 5:30 p.m. Eastern’s cross country team was recently chosen to finish second in the conference this year on both the men and women’s sides. The conference order of finishes is voted on by the OVC head coaches. Eastern Kentucky University men and women’s teams received 11 and 10 first-place votes respectively, earning them the No. 1 slot for 2016. Belmont rounds out the top three.

The men’s soccer team hosts Green Bay on Friday, a team that they have not been able to beat in the past three seasons. Eastern does however, hold an all-time record of 12-8-3 against Green Bay, but the Phoenix have had their number as of late. The Panthers played Green Bay late last season and were shutout 1-0 on the road. In the 2014 season, Eastern lost again by one goal, 2-1. Senior goalkeeper Kyle Ihn returns for Green Bay and is going for his third win in a row against the Panthers. Facing Ihn again could be bad news for the Panthers as he has 11 saves through two matches this season, ranking him third in the Horizon League. The good ne ws for the Panthers is that Green Bay has had absolutely zero offense up to this point. If Eastern can attack on offense for the majority of the game they will be able to get past Ihn easily, who let past five goals last time out. After Eastern plays on Friday afternoon, they will host Marshall on Sunday for the first ever meeting between the two teams. A team that they don’t see every year can be a good opportunity for the Panthers to keep the ball rolling if they can play well on Friday. As for Marshall, they will be on their second game of a road trip, as they will play Bowling Green State University on Friday night. I think that the Panthers will have the advantage in this game because Marshall has only played at home so far, and they may be a little jet lagged. Hopefully this weekend will bring the spark the men’s team needs to start scoring goals and winning games this season.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: Football drops season opener 38-21 to Western Illinois.

S ports Korliss Marshall steps up in first game By Maher Kawash Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports Fans who have watched Eastern football over the years would agree that the Panthers pride themselves on the run game. Well that was not working for them Thursday night as the team totaled just 102 rushing yards in a 3821 loss to Western Illinois. With that being said, 19 of those rushing yards came from the quarterback position as redshirt junior Mitch Kimble scrambled in to open the scoring against the Leathernecks. “We wanted our running backs to rush for more yards than what we did,” Eastern coach Kim Dameron said. “We need to be rushing for 250 or 300 yards a game.” But even though the run game wasn’t itself for Eastern, redshirt junior Korliss Marshall found success through the air. Marshall finished the night with just 46 rushing yards on 11 attempts, but his highlight of the night came on a 79-yard touchdown catch. The redshirt junior totaled 111 yards on four receptions along with that one touchdown, offering a bright spot in what was a tough way to begin the season. Marshall earned almost as many carries as the starter, redshirt senior Devin Church. Church had 12 carries on the night for 42 rushing yards, and that left the run game dwindling. “We weren’t having a ton of success running the football, and for us to keep drives alive we had to be able to throw it,” Dameron said. Marshall’s performance in the receiving game was able to open up the offense for a quarterback who played for the first time in two years with Kimble. The Panthers were struggling before that 79-yard touchdown, trailing 24-14 and needing a spark. Marshall gave exactly that to bring the lead within three at 24-21, but the Panthers offense faltered from there on out. The inability to run the ball left Eastern’s defense on the field for much longer than any team would like, and Western Illinois took advantage of it with two running touchdowns in the fourth to end the game. “We put our defense in bad situations and left them out on the field too long,” Dameron said. “If you are scoring points then it’s not a big deal, but we turned it over too much.” Now the Panthers turn their focus to next week with a matchup against Miami of Ohio. With the running game being the focal point of Eastern’s typical offense, improvement is likely heading into next weekend. While the run game is sure to be a focus in practice, Dameron said the main focus will be controlling the turnovers. The Panthers turned the ball over three times in the loss to Western Illinois.

Miscues hurt Panthers in season-opener By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports Redshir t junior quar terback Mitch Kimble had not played a down in his Eastern career, and it showed at times in Thursday night’s 38-21 loss to Western. Kimble also looked like a veteran quarterback at times. Kimble made his first career start and came out of the gate hot, sending the Panthers on a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended with him running the ball in for a 19-yard score. Something Eastern failed to do in 2015 against the Leathernecks. Overall, Kimble showed signs of promise, his three turnovers led to the Panthers’ demise. On his first play of the second drive, he fumbled at the Panthers 19-yard line, leading to Western’s first of five touchdowns. All three of the turnovers led to a Leathernecks score. Again, Kimble showed many signs of being a strong quarterback, but the turnovers hurt. “Turnovers, that’s the big thing, that’s what killed us,” Kimble said. “They stopped our drives and I take a lot of blame for that because I didn’t put our defense in a good position.” As the game went on, Kimble improved, but said there is no excuses to turn the ball over the way he did. Earlier in the week, Coach Kim Dameron said he was planning on going with a two-quarterback look against Western, using both Kimble and redshir t junior Austin Green as well. Green only took one drive, which ended in a punt. The plan was to use Green for the one series, and have Kimble be the guy the rest of the way, Dameron said. “We knew offensively going in, especially with our lack of depth on the D-line, (turning the ball over) is something we knew we couldn’t do,” Dameron said. Green saw some playing time last year, and was 4-for-5 on his only drive of the game this year.

JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN

Eastern runningback Korliss Marshall rushes past Western defenders during the first half on Thursday. Marshall finished with 46 yards on 10 carries and 111 yards recieving on 4 rec. and a touchdown in the 38-21 loss at O’Brien Field.

Eastern handled the Leathernecks better overall than they did a year ago, but the result was all the same. They opened the season with a loss. Despite what the scoreboard says, Eastern’s defense held their own even with the inexperience they have on the defensive line. They had their backs against the wall two out of the three times the Panthers turned the ball over. Eastern fought its way back into the game to make the score 24-21 off a 79-yard pass from Kimble to redshirt junior running back Korliss Marshall at the 3:36 mark, after a 53-yard pass to senior Ben Odugbesan made it 24-14 with five minutes earlier. It was two passes like those from Kimble that made it seem like he can still do big things for Eastern. “Everyone on offense, we can be good if we just execute and do what we’ve been practicing all camp,” Kimble said. “What you saw in the third quarter, I think if we do that the entire game, I think we’re going to be hard to beat.” Eastern’s attempt at a comeback was quickly foiled when Western marched down the field with

a 6-yard touchdown run by Devon Moore capping off the drive. Up until then the defense kept them in the game, but back-toback scores put the Panthers away. “I see the points, and I actually feel like we did a great job,” redshirt junior linebacker Nick Horne said. “But we still had times, where they get the ball on the 1-yard line, we need to stop them. We’d rather have 3 points than 7 points.” Defensively there were a few new faces in this season opener, especially on the defensive line with two starters having to sit out, there is no lack of chemistry on that side of the ball, Horne said. And just like on offense, the miscues made there, and the “missed assignments” as Horned called them, will hurt the team. “Every time we had a missed assignment, we gave up a big play,” he said. For the second straight year, the Panthers start 0-1 and will hit the road next Saturday to take on Miami of Ohio. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu

Women’s soccer team prepares for weekend matches, home opener By: Tyler McCluskey Women’s reporter | @DEN_Sports The women’s soccer team will have two matches this weekend. The Panthers (0-3) will travel to Chicago State University Friday, followed by the home opener Sunday versus Indiana State University at Lakeside Field. The Panthers are coming off of a 4-0 loss to Illinois State. There was only one shot from the Panthers, and that came by sophomore defender Kate Olson. The Panthers were outshot 38-1, with 23 of those coming on goal. The Redbirds had 11 corner kicks. Freshman goalkeeper Sara Teteak had 19 saves and is averaging 11.3 saves per game. Teteak has 34 saves on the year and has only given up seven goals in the three matches she has played. The Panthers have been shut out in their first three matches and have yet to score a goal. This is the third season in a row that the Panthers have

been shut out in three of their first four matches. The Panthers have had five shots on goal so far this season. Those shots came from redshirt junior midfielder Emma Scaro, freshman forward Sarah DeWolf, redshirt freshman Ellie Corrigan, Olson, and sophomore midfielder Elisabeth Held. Chicago State (1-2) won their last match against Saint Xavier 3-2, ending a 30 match-losing streak. Freshman midfielder Mariela Alba scored the first goal of the game for the Cougars in the thirtieth-minute. In the Fifty-third minute the Cougars struck again with a goal from a header by sophomore midfielder Amber Jones. Freshman midfielder Taylor Rankin scored her first collegiate goal in the eighty-seventh minute. Rankin also had a game-high six shot attempts. Junior goalkeeper Gabby Klemp also recorded her first career win in goal for the Cougars. The Panthers are undefeated against Chicago State and look to

keep that up, winning last years meeting 4-1. The Sycamores (2-2) are coming off of a 2-1 loss to IUPUI. The Sycamores had nine shot attempts with three of those coming on goal. IUPUI had 14 shots with five coming on goal. Senior goalkeeper Brittany San Roman let up her first goals of the season, but also saved three shots. Sophomore forward Kayla Schrubb led the Sycamores with only two shots. The Sycamores had three corner kicks. The Panthers have only had two corners all season, one in the match against Bowling Green State University where the Falcons had nine, and one against Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne where the Mastodons had four. The Panthers will face the Cougars at 3 p.m. in Chicago and will have their home opener at Lakeside Field at noon Sunday. Tyler McCluskey can be reached at 581-2812 or at trmccluskey@eiu.edu
