Staff Report | @DEN_News Eastern President David Glassman is set to give the university’s annual State of the University Address 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the Dvorak Concert Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. According to a press release from the university, the address will cover topics such as the university’s FY18 budget, enrollment and recruitment trends and strategies, some organizational and individual accomplishments over the past year, an update on the ongoing vitalization project and the university’s plans on moving forward with initiatives from its Pathway to Success campaign. At Glassman’s state of the university speech from last year, he first announced the vitalization project, which tasked nine workgroups with analyzing different areas on campus to see which could be given more resources, which programs were stable, which needed to work out a plan to become more efficient and which could be deleted or outsourced.

Boil order still in effect on campus Staff Report | @DEN_News The boil order for the City of Charleston was discontinued Monday, though it remains in place for those on Eastern’s campus. The original order was put in place after a large water main break on Douglas Drive at Alan Drive, between Lincoln and Polk Avenues. Though original set to end at 11 a.m. Monday, the city-wide boil order was discontinued at 12:34 p.m. that day. Because Eastern operates its own water system, the university must test its own system, separately from the city. An Alert EIU Update message will be sent out by the university when the boil order is discontinued. On campus, Java Beanery and Bakery was closed Monday, and according to signs put up around the store, it will be closed until the end of the water boil order. Boil, page 5

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans commemorated 9/11 on Monday with tear-streaked tributes, a presidential warning to terrorists and appeals from victims' relatives for unity and hope 16 years after the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Thousands of family members, survivors, rescuers and others gathered for the hourslong reading of victims' names at the World Trade Center, while President Donald Trump spoke at the Pentagon and Vice President Mike Pence addressed an observance at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Reflecting on a tragedy that still feels immediate to them, victims' relatives thanked first responders and the military, worried for people affected by Hurricane Irma as it continued
its destructive path as a tropical storm and pleaded for a return to the sense of cohesiveness that followed the attacks. Trump, a native New Yorker observing the anniversary for the first time as the country's leader, assured victims' families that "our entire nation grieves with you" and issued stern words to extremists. "America cannot be intimidated, and those who try will join a long list of vanquished enemies who dared test our mettle," the Republican president said as he spoke at the Pentagon after observing a moment of silence at the White House. When America is united, "no force on earth can break us apart," he said. At the Flight 93 National Memorial, Pence said the passengers who re-
volted against hijackers might well have saved his own life. The Republican vice president was a member of Congress on 9/11, and the Capitol was a possible target of the terrorist piloting Flight 93. Instead, it crashed near Shanksville after the passengers took action. Thirtythree passengers and seven crew members were killed. The ceremony on the National Sept. 11 Memorial plaza in New York strives to be apolitical, allowing politicians to attend but not to speak. Yet last year's 15th anniversary ceremony became entangled in the presidential campaign when Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton left abruptly, stumbled into a van and ultimately revealed she'd been diagnosed days earlier with pneumonia.
This year, the focus remained on the names read out beneath the waterfall pools and lines of trees. While many Americans may no longer interrupt their days to observe the 9/11 anniversary, the ceremony remains a touchstone for many victims' families and friends. After 15 years of anniversaries, the reading of names, moments of silence and tolling bells have become rituals, but each ceremony takes on personal touches. Name-readers Monday gave updates on family graduations and marriages and remembered loved ones' flair for surfing or drawing on coffee-shop napkins. A few never even got to know the relatives they lost on Sept. 11, 2001.
Harvey and Irma to slow US economy but rebound
otherwise have been. But repair work, reconstruction and purchases of replacement cars and other goods should provide an offsetting boost later this year and in early 2018. Catastrophic natural disasters often don't depress the U.S. economy in the long run. The destruction of property reduces the nation's total wealth. But all the rebuilding and restoration work tends to stimulate economic growth in the following months. Irma has so far wreaked much less damage than initially feared, with Citi analyst James Naklicki estimating total costs could reach $50 billion, down from earlier estimate of as much as $150 billion. Still, more than 7 million people have lost power because of Irma, with most of them living in Florida. The state makes up about 5 percent of the U.S. economy. Flooding from Irma could affect about $1.2 billion of the state's crops, Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimates, and elevate food prices. With oil refineries along the Gulf Coast shut down, gas prices have jumped about 30 cents a gallon nationwide, on average, since Harvey made landfall in late August. That will temporarily reduce Americans' spending power because they will have less money to spend on other items. The impact of Harvey has been particularly harsh in Houston, the nation's fourth-largest city. The entire
metro area accounts for about 3.2 percent of the nation's economy. Higher gas costs will likely increase measures of inflation in the coming months, economists say, but the rise will likely be small and temporary. Housing costs could rise, too. Nearly 90 percent of U.S. chemical refinery capacity has been closed down, Mothersole said. That could make all sorts of plastics more expensive, including PVC pipes and other building materials. The Federal Reserve, which adjusts interest rates to keep inflation in check, will likely discount any increase in prices.
leaders' meetings. Purvis led a school funding commission, among other posts. In a statement, Purvis says that working for Rauner's administration was a privilege. Rauner's office didn't specify replacement plans for a new education secretary. Emily Bastedo, who served on Rauner's legal team and as first lady Diana Rauner's chief of staff, will oversee Rauner's education policy team.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With businesses disrupted, fuel and chemical refineries out of commission and consumers struggling to restore their lives, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma will likely pack a tough doublewhammy for the U.S. economy. Nearly one-fifth of the nation's oil refining capacity has been shut down because of Harvey, and fuel production has dropped sharply as a result, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Consumers will also spend less in the immediate aftermath of the storms. Even those ready to make purchases will face closed storefronts and dark restaurants. Irma will cause tourists to delay — and in many cases never take — trips to Florida's beaches or Disney World. Chemical refineries have also been closed, reducing the production of plastics. Damage estimates from the two storms are still early, particularly for Irma. While the economic toll pales beside the human costs, analysts estimate that the nation's annualized growth rate will be one-half to one full percentage point slower in the July-September quarter than it would

ACTS provides place to foster religious beliefs By Gabriel Tomer Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Editor’s Note: This story is the first in a series of articles exploring religious organizations on campus and in the community. Eastern is a place where different cultures and lifestyles collide. There are many registered student organizations on campus providing sanctuary for people with differing ideals and beliefs. One of these is Apostolic Christians in Today’s Society. ACTS adviser Wanda Kay Robinson said the common beliefs the group shares hold them together in their faith. “Everyone can come to Jesus. We have a plan of salvation that we need to follow. It’s a process,” Robinson said. ACTS’ mission statement is one of positivity and explaining the message of Christ, Robinson said. “We want to reach as many students, staff and faculty as we can. We want to share with them the message of Jesus,” Robinson said. “We

He embodied what it meant to be a Christian, and I saw that through everyone in ACTS,” Chatman said. Emmanuel Ayiku, an associate pastor and senior public relations major, said ACTS is about more than just religion and can be directly applied to everyday life. “All of us as humans ask ourselves daily, ‘Where do we go from here? What do we do?’” Ayiku said. “Coming to ACTS helps us answer those questions.” Christina Peter, a senior music performance major, said after getting to be a praise leader during an ACTS service, she feels strongly about the welcoming atmosphere that ACTS has to offer. “I think that being away from home, people need a chance to feel family and love,” Peter said.

Embrace unfamiliar subjects When I took my final English methods course last semester, I was the only student to focus on journalism for most of my projects. I compiled lists of reliable sources pertaining to student journalism, I designed a class handbook for student journalists and I wrote up a full unit in which students created a news magazine of self-produced longform articles. As the semester wore on, I realized that I was not just focusing on journalism because it interested me .I realized that many of my classmates were afraid to try breaking into the journalistic world. While many journalists will insist that expert-led training and j-school education are essential for developing young journalists, most high school students will not have access to these specialized resources and rely, therefore, on general English language arts educators. And in a rapidly-changing world where the skills of processing and disseminating information are increasingly in demand, these budding teenage journalists are important figures in the American civic landscape. It is no longer safe for English educators to assume they are can ignore journalism as a skill in our teaching arsenal. Every student who passes through our classrooms from this day forth will have to be a journalist in order to be a citizen. They must be able to write about the things that they care about and that affect them. But where to start? For many English educators, journalism is terrifying to break into. We all assume there there is a canon of exemplar texts and methods that we have never heard of. When teachers break into teaching drama, sometimes they flounder because nobody introduced them to something like Our Town or Bye Bye Birdie, and teachers who want to teach visual texts are at a loss when they fail to see how the latest graphic novelization of a Meg Cabot novel pales in comparison to “Maus” or “Persepolis.” In journalism, there are no true exemplar texts to help students look for. Think of it this way: what news sources do you trust? Which ones are the most accurate? Which ones turn news into something more than just a recounting of events? Those are the closest things to exemplars that students can reach for. Once you give students the basic tools and help them outline what they want out of their foray into journalism, they can begin working immediately. These early products might be weak or unstable, but they are still valid as news, especially for beginning reporters. Journalism is, I believe, the perfect marriage of content knowledge and life skills. Students learn to hone their writing skills by producing work that is optimally both descriptive and evocative, filler-free and accessible to the common reader. They exercise civic engagement skills and develop them beyond the confines of the classroom. They follow their interests, deepening their own learning and preparing for their adult lives in ways that cannot be assigned in traditional courses. Future and current English educators, please consider dipping into journalism with your students. Do not let a lack of knowledge deter you-this is an opportunity to learn alongside your students.

Trees that fell because of Hurricane Irma in front Perera’s sister’s house in Miami, Fla on Monday, Sept. 11.
Feeling helpless during the Hurricane As most of you may know, I transferred to Eastern from Miami, Fla. Just like most people who go out of state for college, I had to give up a lot to make the move up here. I left my family. I left my friends. I left my dog, Vienna. I left my home. That may sound incredibly dramatic, but it’s not. It is terrifying and I cannot help but feel helpless. I am 1,203 miles away from home. I have always lived with my parents, and now that I am alone in another state, I am petrified. I have always tried to be independent and sustain myself. I know how to cook, I know how to clean and I know how to do laundry. I know how to be alone. But it’s different being alone so far away. Moving away is not all it is cracked up to be. It is really lonely. I am lucky enough to have been paired with cool roommates who are very supportive, but it still does not compare to what being back in Miami makes me feel like. Back home, I know where everything is located. For example, when I have to go shop for something, I know where to go. Up here in Charleston, I am only familiar with the boundaries of the Panther Shuttle route because I did not bring up my car. I am sure everyone has heard the news of Hurricane Irma, which hit Florida this weekend. It made landfall late Saturday night. After seeing the media coverage of the category four Hurricane Harvey which hit Texas in late August, I was petrified of what the damage could be, as this was a storm just as severe as Harvey and category five Hurricane Andrew in
Jaynell Perera Miami back in 1992. Throughout the early hours of the hurricane, I was communicating with my parents, but there reached a point when my messages would not send and my calls would not go through. All I wanted to do was hear their voices and I could not. As I am typing up this article, I am crying on the phone speaking to my family members. This is the first time I hear their voices in over 12 hours. I can finally breathe, because I felt like I was being suffocated this weekend by not speaking to them. I have experienced a few hurricanes in my life, but nothing like Hurricane Irma. My parents lost power on Sunday afternoon and they still do not have their power back on. According to Florida Power & Light, residents in Miami-Dade County will not have power for a few days or even weeks, due to severe damage done to electric poles.
People ravaged stores trying to stock up on supplies the week before the storm. But since they were in such high demand, they quickly ran out of a lot of necessary items. Thankfully, most of my loved ones bought everything that they needed to sustain themselves for a few days after the hurricane. I just pray and thank God that the damage was small. There were a few trees and plants knocked down in my street and a part of the fence in my backyard was ripped off. My 93-year-old grandma was not so lucky. Her apartment was inundated with a few inches of water. The damage was minimal, but I just wish I could be there with her. I cannot even begin to describe what I felt inside this weekend. I was just torn and empty. All I wanted was to be home with my family and I could not. I lost so much sleep because I could not hear back from my family back home. Flights were absolutely outrageous and I did not care what it would have cost me to go back home. I was willing to pay for it, if it was not for the fact that the airports were closed. It is completely devastating to see all the photos and videos of the aftermath of the hurricane. Since I was born and raised in Florida, it is sad seeing my home state as it is now. But I know my people, we will get through this. Jaynell Perera is a junior journalism major.She can be reached at 581-2812 or jperera@eiu.edu
Staff Editorial
Do not forget tragic parts of history Even though it happened 16 years ago, the Sept. 11 attacks still shape the way we live life today. It changed the way we go to airports, the way we see the world and each other. There are reasons for that, and they need to be talked about. For some children, they were not even born yet when Sept. 11 happened. For them, it is a harrowing part of history, not one they can remember fully. Even if they were born, some of them may have been too young to even realize or imagine the magnitude of what happened that day. However, looking and learning about it can make a difference. “Whenever I learn about it, whenever I see videos, it really is heart-wrenching,” Daugherty said. “I think of so many people who have passed away.” These are all reasons we need to keep talking about it, and not forget what happened on that tragic day. Is it upsetting to talk about? Yes. Does it make for some uncomfortable conversations?
News Editor Chrissy Miller
Sports Editor Sean Hastings
Of course. But it would be a disservice to those who died to sweep what happened under the rug. This goes for any tragedy or suffering people have gone through throughout history. It is important that we do not let people forget about what people have fought and lived through to get us to where we are today. It is always shocking to see terroism like this, especially when it hits so close to home. For many it was a wake up call. One student said he never thought that type of destruction would happen in the United States. In the midst of present-day terrible things happening, such as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma ravaging Texas and Florida, it is also important to remember how a country can come together even in its darkest moments. However, as the same student said in the article, it should not take a tragedy to come together. It is important, even as divided as we all are as a country right now, to remember
these times, and help each other out. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Campus police officers to serve lemonade By Valentina Vargas Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Students will be able to interact with the officers from the University Police Department through “Layin’ Down the Law Lemonade Stand” from noon to 2 p.m. on Wednesday outside of Coleman Hall. University Police officers will also be giving handouts to students about campus safety tips, such as being aware of their surroundings or not walking alone at night, as well as giving out lemonade. The handouts will include important contact phone numbers as well. There will also be other items like whistles, key chains and flashlights given away during the lemonade stand. University Police Chief Kent Martin said the UPD has tried different activities such as having coffee and pizza with students before, although this time they have decided to mix things up and collaborate with the University Board. Ella Blakley, a junior art major, said it is cool that the police officers will be interacting with students through the lemonade stand. “Some students might be nervo u s , b u t I m e a n I ’m n e r vo u s when I talk to people (in general),” Blakely said.

Illinois sees fewer West Nile cases, still advises caution SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois public health experts say they’re seeing fewer human cases of the West Nile virus this summer, but are still asking residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites, which cause the infection. Fewer pools of mosquitoes and fewer dead birds across Illinois are testing positive for the virus this year compared to last year, said Melaney Arnold, spokeswoman for the state Department of Pub-
lic Health. The state has so far received 16 reported human cases this year, compared to nearly 90 statewide this time last year, the Springfield Journal-Register reported. Still, officials are urging the public to keep taking steps to protect themselves against mosquito bites. Sangamon County has treated places where mosquitoes breed and has also supplied larvicide to municipalities to reduce the mosquito
population, said Jim Stone, director of the Sangamon County Department of Public Health. West Nile inflames the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, according Steven O’Marro, an infectiousdisease specialist with Springfield Clinic. About 70 to 80 percent of people infected with West Nile don’t exhibit any symptoms, while 20 to 30 percent may get West Nile fe-
ver and feel weak and get muscle aches but require no medical treatment, according to Dr. David Warren, an infectious-disease specialist at Washington University School of Medicine. He said only about 1 to 2 percent of patients get severe complications that result in hospitalization and sometimes death. “I’m a big proponent now of people taking precautions,” said Jack Handy, a Springfield man still recovering from the West Nile-re-

Handy said he never took any of the recommended precautions when he was affected, such as avoiding outdoor activity at dusk and dawn, applying repellent, and wearing long pants and longsleeved shirts when outside. Warren said it’s important to reduce risk of mosquito bites because West Nile is just one of several diseases spread by the insect.

Body Electric begins sessions By: Travis Moody Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Body Electric, a program designed for middle and high school students to become educated on health-related issues, began its six-week, three-part program last week. In 1998, Body Electric was founded to raise awareness and educate middle and high school students on issues surrounding mental and physical health. The program also gives students a creative outlet to express their thoughts concerning these topics. Laura Bollan, the Healthy Communities director for Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System, said for the first part of the program Body Electric helps administer the Illinois Youth Survey. The Illinois Youth Survey asks stu-
dents about their experience with drugs and topics related to their physical and mental health. Once the results of the survey are returned, Body Electric then shares the collected data with the students. Bollan said while most students have the mindset that everybody is doing drugs or engaging in other unhealthy behaviors, that is not what the survey results show. “From there, students from grades 6 to 12 pick a topic that’s meaningful to them based on the (survey) result, and turn it into art,” Bollan said. In the third phase, the students’ art is toured through local schools, giving students from the different districts the chance to view each other’s art projects Julie Meinhart, the program coordinator at Sarah Bush, said. “We have a scavenger hunt that we do during that time frame which will guide them to certain projects to
ensure . . . they are getting information on a variety of different issues,” Meinhart said. Tours at the schools are exclusively for students and family, but there is a summer art show open to the community. While many programs focus on areas such as drug and alcohol abuse, the surveys have been showing an increase in issues about mental health, and the art projects have been reflecting that, Meinhart said. The IYS from 2016 found that suicide and depression was the number one health concern for 38 percent of eighth graders and 28 percent of high school students. “We weren’t surprised because for the past two years the projects that students have been choosing have been about depression and suicide,” Bollan said. Meinhart added that the art proj-
»
ects focus on the positive side of these issues, highlighting that people dealing with these issues are not alone and their feelings will not last forever. “There are art projects that people stand in front of and read the artist statement and people cry in front of these because they’re so moving,” Bollan said. “I mean, to think that a student did an art project, and it’s changing people’s lives.” At one school the went to, Meinhart got a call from a parent who said the student’s grandfather had recently committed suicide, and the presentation had “triggered some strong emotions in him.” “I assured her we would be as sensitive as we could, and he was more than welcome to do a project on that. At the end of the process, I got an email from the mother saying the process of making the project helped
him deal with some of his emotions,” Meinhart said. She described to process as “cathartic” for the students and a way to provide psychological relief. “Every aspect of it has an impact on the students,” Meinhart said. “Even if they haven’t had first hand experience with the issue, the process of creating the project and researching the data gives them an understanding of how many people are affected by (their topic).” Body Electric also has internship opportunities available for those interested. Those interested can apply online at bodyelectric.sarahbush.org/ interns. For more information about Body Electric, those interested can visit www.sarahbush.org/bodyelectric.
an adapting environment. “We must urgently explore altering our existing programs when appropriate, as well as developing new programs,” Glassman said. “In order for us to plan our university’s future, we must realistically define our optimal enrollment size given current demographics, mar-
ket-place competition, and our own interests in financial sustainability.” A copy of the speech will be available after it is given on the president’s webpage on Eastern’s website.

1 raise for Illinois caregivers approved, another on hold SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Advocates say a 75-cents-an-hour wage increase for people who care for the developmentally disabled in Illinois should help group homes hire and retain staff members. The (Springfield) State JournalRegister reports that Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration indicated last week that the increase included in the
2018 budget lawmakers approved in July should begin within 60 days. But another wage hike included in the budget is on hold. That’s 48 cents an hour allotted to 28,000 personal assistants who look after physically disabled people in their homes. Chicago Democratic Rep. Greg Harris says the 48-cent raise “wasn’t a suggestion.” Rauner spokesman Jason Schaumburg says the raise must be part of contract negotiations with SEIU Healthcare Illinois. SEIU disagrees and filed a lawsuit last week in Cook County to force payment.
Cops ‘find’ red balloon floating in Stephen King’s hometown BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Police in the Maine city that’s home to Stephen King played a prank to coincide with the opening of the horror film “It,” based on King’s book. The police department said that a red balloon was “found” floating near the department’s stuffed duck. A red balloon is the calling card of Pennywise, the sewer-dwelling, homicidal clown in “It.”

Women’s tennis team opens season By Parker Valentine Women’s Tennis Reporter|@DEN_Sports Eastern’s women’s tennis team began its fall season over the weekend at the SIUE fall invitational, still without a head coach. In fall tournaments, play is divided into multiple groups called flights. The reason the tournament has flights is due to the fact that many schools are in attendance. Eight different teams attended the SIUE invite. After seeding was decided, play began. Eastern finished the tournament with two athletes having made the final of their respective flight. Sophomore Emily Pugachevsky made the Flight B championship, while freshman Karla Contreras made, and won, the Flight C championship match. After defeating Alexa Brandt of Bradley (6,2 6,2), Pugachevsky went on to defeat Western Illinois senior Courtney Lubbers (7-6, 6-1). In the championship round Pugachevsky faced off against conference foe Anne-Christine Link of SIUE. Link defeated Pugachevsky (6-3, 6-2). In Flight C, Contreras opened tournament play Friday with a win. Contreras defeated Maria Bessmertnaya of Western (6-1, 6-2). She then defeated Ariana Rodriguez of SLU (6-1, 6-4) in the semis, advancing to the flight championship. The championship was the most competitive match of Contreras’ young career as a Panther. It was also her introduction to the SIUE/EIU rival-

ry.
After losing the first set of the match 3-6 to
sophomore Lara Tupper, Contreras tied the match in the second set 6-2. This led to a 22 point third
set, which Contreras won by two points, defeating Tupper (3-6, 6-2, 12-10). SIUE and EIU have had two of the more successful women’s tennis programs in the OVC in recent years. The two faced off in the OVC spring tournament last year, with No. 1 ranked SIUE defeating EIU by their closest margin of the season, winning 2-4. The Panthers’ next match with the Cougars is set for March 20th at the Darling Courts in Charleston. On the doubles circuit, sophomore Stella Cliffe and freshman Rachel Papvasilopoulus found a bit of success as well. The duo placed third in doubles, beating yet another SIUE team. They defeated Morgan Steffes and Tupper (6-2), in the Flight A doubles bracket. “We worked well to figure out each other’s strengths, we worked well as a team. We did well to come to the net together and sort out our combinations,” said Cliffe, speaking on the doubles match. The Panthers’ next event of the fall season is set for two weeks from now. The Panthers head to Peoria Sept. 22 for Bradley’s annual fall tournament. It is a multiple team event just like the SIUE invite. The Panthers will see multiple teams that they will play again in the spring. Parker Valentine can be reached 581-2812 or pivalentine@eiu.edu.
Panthers struggle on day one of tournament By JJ Bullock Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s golf team struggled to make pars and the ever so crucial birdie, Thursday in the first 36 holes of action at the Northern Kentucky Classic at the Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia, Ohio. The Panthers made 77 pars in the round, but made just six birdies, on route to the Panthers finding themselves in 12th place out of 14 teams, shooting 97 over par and 665 total. However, the team has many new players, which left them satisfied with their performance. “Overall for the team I think it was a
good start,” senior Anne Bahr said. “We have a lot of newcomers so it was hard to say how we were going to perform. But, for the first day and 36 holes, I thought it was a decent start.” Junior Daphne Chang led the Panthers with a score of 21 over par on the day, putting her at 45th overall in the tournament. Chang made 19 pars in her 36 holes today, however, she also made four double bogeys and two triple bogeys on the day. Her last six holes of the first 18 included two triple bogeys, two double bogeys and two bogeys. Following Chang in the standings was Eastern senior Anne Bahr who finished the day in a tie for 53rd at 24 over par. Bahr
made 17 pars on the day, eight bogeys, five double bogeys and just one triple bogey. “It was alright. No bad for the first tournament of the season and 36 holes,” Bahr said of her performance. “Today was a decent start and I hope tomorrow is better.” Sarah Guetersloh finished in 62nd place for the Panthers. She shot 26 over par, making 23 bogeys in her two rounds. Senior Hannah Magda trailed her closely, finishing in 65th place with a score of 27 over par. Magda made 15 pars in 36 holes, but made six double bogeys and two triples. Rounding out the bottom two spots for Eastern in the standings were McKenzie O’Brien and Katlyn Hasprey. They finished 75th and respectively.
O’Brien made just four pars in her final round and finished the day 36 over par. Hasprey made a team high four triple bogeys on the day. The course played as a par 71 at 6053 yards. “ We didn’t have many surprises after the practice round yesterday,” Bahr said. “The winds picked up a bit too about twothirds of the way through, but I thought the course played well. The back nine is much more challenging than the front. It’s in good condition overall, the greens are a little beat up.” JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.

Hughes named player of week By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports After collecting 63 digs and averaging nearly six per set this past weekend, Eastern volleyball player Anne Hughes has been named Ohio Valley Conference defensive player of the week. Hughes is a redshirt sophomore and this is a special reward considering that Hughes is coming off a season in which she played in no matches. “Having not played last year allowed me to really focus in on defense and serve receive while also trying to work on my weaknesses so I feel pretty comfortable,” Hughes said. She has bounced back incredibly strong this year and matching career high in digs against Chicago State with 29 is a fine example of that. Coming in with a chip on her shoulder this season, Hughes knew that the added depth to Eastern’s team could be a factor in her playing time. “Our team is a lot bigger this year with a lot of depth, and we always face tougher opponents so I can never get too comfortable with where I am and always try to work harder,” Hughes said. The weekly honor is the first of Hughes’ career, and it comes after she closed out the tournament with a kill, nine assists, and two service aces. “I think to continue this play I just need to keep focusing in at practice on the little things to keep me disciplined and always try to get one percent better,” Hughes said. Hughes has put in some solid performances throughout the entire season as she has notched double-digit digs in nine of 10 games thus far.
BRYAN BUND| THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Redshirt sophomore Anne Hughes digs the ball in the Panthers’ 3-0 win against Alabama A&M Friday in Lantz Arena. Hughes was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week.
When considering her ability to earn that number of digs, Hughes is quick to credit the rest of her teammates’ efforts. “Our block has been stellar since the season has started, and they always do an amazing job setting up well so that the defense can work around them, making my job a lot easier,” Hughes said. Hughes is right to credit the
team’s blocking as Eastern is ranked first overall in the Ohio Valley Conference for blocks. Allie Hueston and Maggie Runge have been key catalysts in that department, ranking second and third respectively in the conference. Hughes has also played a key role in the Panthers being ranked top five among the OVC in digs this season. Her role does not only lead the
Panthers, but she also ranks first in the conference in digs with a total of 171 as well as an average of 5.18 per set. To put that into perspective, Eastern as a team average 15.67 digs-perset. Not only has Hughes notched double-digit digs in all but one game, but she’s reached over 20 in four of those games; by no means an
easy task. Hughes now gets a chance to back this award of defensive player of the week with the team’s next matchup against Valparaiso Wednesday. Following that match the Panthers head to Indiana State over the weekend for a two-match tournament Saturday. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
Ohio Valley Conference football notebook sonville State led early in the second, but from that point on Georgia Tech scored at will. Georgia Tech did its scoring off big plays. On its four straight touchdowns, Georgia Tech scored on a 27-yard touchdown pass, a 23-yard touchdown pass, a 10-yard pass, and a 65-yard touchdown run.
By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports The Eastern football team was not the only Ohio Valley Conference team to lose over the weekend. Eight out of the nine teams in action lost their non-conference matchups. It was not a good day around the OVC, mostly because the scores were lopsided. OVC play begins in two weeks. Morehead State and Austin Peay, however, will take each other on to open conference play.
Eastern 10, Northern 38 Eastern did not play its best game, and it led to a big loss. Heading into next week, coach Kim Dameron said all sides of the ball need improvement before playing Illinois State Saturday. Last year the Panthers beat the Redbirds and won the Mid America Classic Trophy. The Redbirds are a talented team, just as the Panthers faced against Northern.
Ole Miss 45, Tennesee Martin 23 An upset was brewing with Tennessee-Martin and SEC opponent Ole Miss as the Skyhawks had a nine-point lead in the second quarter, but Ole Miss started to play like Ole Miss and eventually won 45-23. Although the Skyhawks ended up losing big to the Rebels there was a silver lining to come out of it. Tennessee-Martin racked up 334 yards on offense including 253 on the ground. The downside to that is that Ole Miss had no problem dominating on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Shea Patterson threw for 489 yards to lead the offense to a 543-yard day. He also had five touchdown passes in the win.

Redshirt senior quarterback Mitch Kimble fires a pass in the Panthers’ loss to Northern Saturday in DeKalb. Eastern was one of eight out of nine OVC teams that lost Saturday.
Kentucky 27, Eastern Kentucky 16 This was another case of an OVC team not being able to hold a lead. Eastern Kentucky led for almost three full quarters. The Colonels led 16-10 after a field goal, but the Wildcats marched down the field on the ensuing drive with a touchdown and ran away with the game from there.
Running back Benny Snell had a 25-yard touchdown run to take the lead 17-16. The Colonels got the lead by scoring 13 unanswered points after Kentucky got a field goal on its opening drive. Eastern Kentucky’s opening drive resulted in a touchdown capping off a 75-yard drive on nine plays.
Georgia Tech 37, Jacksonville State 10 Jacksonville State did not quite blow a lead like Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee-Martin did, but they definitely did let the game slip away. The Gamecocks trailed 10-7 at half but three turnovers in the matter of 10 minutes blew the game wide open for Georgia Tech. Jack-
Rest of the OVC scores: Dayton beat Southeast Missouri 25-23, Miami Ohio beat Austin Peay 31-10, Central Arkansas took down Murray State 41-13, Kennesaw State beat Tennessee Tech 27-14. Tennessee State was the lone winner for the OVC Saturday with a 17-15 win over Jackson State. Sean Hastings can be reached at 5812812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
