Glassman gives updates on athletics, budget By Samuel Nusbaum Contributing Writer | @DEN_News An update on athletics, including a timeframe for when a decision will be made on deciding how many sports team Eastern should support, and an update on the budget were provided at Eastern President David Glassman’s State of the University speech. Because of the end of the three-year budget impasse, highly conservative department budgets are now being loosened, and limited professional travel is also being brought back. P-card use has also been reactivated for fiscal managers, effective immediately. The new budget will allow for the hiring of new faculty in both Unit A, or tenure-track positions and Unit B, or non-tenure track, positions, designations and other operational staff positions for the university’s operation. Glassman urged those in the audience not to go about their work as nothing had happened for the last three years, though. “Spending must follow the very conservative parameters outlined by the administration for purchases to be limited to high operational needs with the approval from the deans and vice presidents,” Glassman said. Glassman also talked about issues with the Pastern’s sports teams. He said while the athletic department has several major sources of funding, some have dropped in recent years. The budget for sports teams has dropped in addition to a decrease of funds for scholarships, which many student athletes came to Eastern with. Possible remedies would mean disbanding some of Eastern’s sports teams. Glassman said less than half of Eastern’s student-athletes are on scholarships and students who are partially covered by scholarships or not on scholarship at all must pay Eastern tuition and fees like any other student on campus. The funds for scholarships are tied to university enrollment, so with the decrease of enrollment numbers, the amount of allocated funds for the scholarships also goes down, putting students at risk for losing award money.

Getting rid of these teams and a reduction in scholarship money could lead to student-athletes transferring out of Eastern in favor of another university, Glassman said. “Eliminating one or more of these teams will have a negative impact on our general fund, which is central to university operations, faculty and staff salaries, faculty development and instructional equipment and supplies,” Glassman said. The sports that would produce the greatest savings if they were eliminated are men’s and women’s basketball, football and volleyball, as these are the teams with the greatest percentage of students receiving scholarships. However, the Board of Trustees has indicated a desire to retain these four sports teams and they are not being considered for elimination, Glassman said. The Board of Trustees has requested recommendations on how to tackle the issue by the end of the semester. In his speech, Glassman gave an update on the vitalization project, undertaken last year to analyze programs around campus. One of the many areas the vitalization project focused on was academics. Glassman said one aspect studied was the possibility of departments becoming more efficient in their work with more strategic scheduling of classes, revising or developing classes that he said could lead to increased enrollment or moving graduate programs online. Glassman said he asked members of the Council of Chairs to review the recommendations made by workgroups no. 8 and 9, which looked at program development and the organizational structure of the academic colleges. “With the large number of recommendations, and noting their diversity, we will need to create a process early this semester for faculty and administration to vet the recommendations collaboratively and to determine appropriate plans of action,” Glassman said.

RSOs, departments get ready for Latin Heritage Month By Kennedy Nolen Multicultural Reporter | @KennedyNolenEIU Multiple registered student organizations and departments around campus are coming together to celebrate Latin Heritage Month from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. Jessica Rodriguez, public relations person for Latin American Student Organization, said this month is for Latinos to share their culture, including herself. “It’s not just (about) a particular country,” Rodriguez said, “We can share our customs, food and our culture.” Food and drinks will be served at noon in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Friday as the “Taste of Latin Culture” reception kicks off the celebratory month. Rodriguez said Saturday is an important day for Latino people, especially Mexicans, because it is the date Mexico gained its independence. In honor of this and in partnership with Latin Heritage Month, bilingual mass will be at 8 a.m. at the Catholic Newman Center Saturday. A panel and presentation called “From the Eyes of Latinos: Students’ Experiences from Studying Abroad,” will be at 4:30 p.m. in the Tuscola/Arcola room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on Monday. Students who have studied abroad in countries in Latin America will share their experiences, studies

and differences and similarities in cultures, Rodriguez said. LASO will be selling elote, corn, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside of Coleman Hall Tuesday. Rodriguez said elote is corn in a cup with butter, mayonnaise, cheese and chili powder.

Stephanie Beltran, vice president of LASO, said the documentary includes the stories of immigrants living in the United States. Miranda Ramirez, vice president of Esperanza, said the organization will sell paletas, Mexican ice cream pops, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m, in Coleman Hall,

"It’s not just (about) a particular country. We can share our customs, food and our culture." Jessica Rodriguez, public relations person for LASO The organization is planning to sell elote for $2 per cup, Beltran said. Later that day, Esperanza, an empowerment RSO, is hosting a workshop to educate attendees on the history of corn tortillas and the cultural significance from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the cultural center, said Lina Lopez, treasurer and junior finance major. The Students for Justice and Peace will present a documentary called “Hear My Story,” at 7 p.m. in Lumpkin Hall Auditorium Monday Sept. 25. Latin Heritage game night will take place at 7 p.m. in Coleman Hall room 1165 Sept. 26 and will be hosted by the Latino co-ed fraternity Alpha Psi Lambda.

Wednesday Sept. 27 and the money they raise will go toward their RSO. LASO will also be reading with and to children at 10 a.m. in the Ballenger education room inside Booth Library Saturday Sept. 30. This is called “Latino Heritage Story Time.” Beltran said LASO wants to have a theme for the reading day, but they are not sure what it will be yet. Amigos and Friends, a group who helps Spanish speakers with English, is hosting a trivia night at 7 p.m. in 7th Street Underground on Monday Oct. 2. Vita’s Mexican Food Truck will be from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m between Coleman Hall and Taylor Hall Tuesday Oct. 3.

A documentary called “Stolen Education” will be presented by Jay Bickford, education professor, at 2 p.m. in Buzzard Hall room 1501 on Thursday Oct. 5. Beltran said she is looking forward to the event “Vamos a Bailar” from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom in the Union on Saturday Oct. 7. An instructor will teach Bachata and the salsa, some of the most well known dances from the culture, Beltran said, and the instructor may teach more. Two different presentations will take place Oct. 12 and Oct. 13 to wrap up Latin Heritage Month on campus. “Clinica de Migrants: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” is Oct. 12, and “Making Excellence Inclusive Inaugural Conference” is Oct. 13. Rodriguez said students should come and hang out with members of the different organizations hosting the events and to get informed about different cultures. Beltran said she encourages students to come to any of the events to learn how different the cultures are, but also how similar they are. “At the end, we aren’t that different,” Rodrigues said.

3 Harry Potter reception brings fans of all kinds FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2017

Students and faculty come out to hear the keynote speech By Brooke Schwartz Staff Writer | @brookesch_wartz The opening reception of the Booth Library’s Harry Potter exhibit saw students and community members alike gathered together in their shared adoration of J. K. Rowling’s popular book series. People of all ages were in attendance, proving Harry Potter’s multigenerational appeal, which Jonelle DePetro, chair of the philosophy department, said is one of the reasons for the series’ success. “I think it’s a great story that appeals to all ages,” DePetro said. Jordan Armes, a local high school student, said his appeal had more to

“mainstreaming of death.” Park also pointed out how death is never far away from Harry Potter or his friends in the books; from his beginning near-death experience with Voldemort to his last one, Harry is not new to the constant fear of the end. “Harry Potter teaches us how to accept that we are going to die,” Parks said. Park’s speech also stressed the real world importance this fantasy novel has had. Jake Armes, a senior at a local high school, also likes this aspect of the novels. “Harry Potter hits on real world issues in a way that’s enjoyable as a story,” Armes said. The reality aspect in turn influenced the novels themselves, Park said. “I think Harry Potter is very much a product of our own time,” she added. Despite its lack of an age limit,

“Harry Potter teaches us how to accept that we are going to die.”

Jemmie Robertson, associate professor of trombone and euphonium, plays “Harry’s Wondrous World” with other members of the EIU Graduate/Faculty Brass Quintet. The song was one of six played by the quintet on Thursday night during their performance “An Evening at Hogwarts,” which was part of the opening reception of the Harry Potter exhibit in Booth Library.

-Suzie Park, English professor do with Harry’s unwavering loyalty to Hermione and Ron. “It’s like a whole big symbol of friendship,” Armes said. No matter what connection readers have made with these stories, they have inspired adoration from young and old alike. English professor Suzie Park gave her keynote presentation entitled “The Boy Who Lives: Harry Potter and the Culture of Death.” Park took a different look at Rowling’s series by examining how the series has made considering one’s own morality a more public and common thing. Park said instead of living “carpe diem”, people have started living “carpe mortem” or “seize the death.” She spoke of how the Harry Potter series paved the road for this

the lessons found within the novels are sometimes difficult for anyone to deal with, which is one of the points Park was hoping to make. “Harry Potter … reminds us that without death, there is no life,” Park said. Marita Metzke, the director of the Academy of Lifelong Learning, partnered with the library for this program. The connection between the series and human morality is what makes Harry Potter a timeless novel that all ages can relate to, Metzke said. “I think it’s the message of morality that we all face,” Metzke said.

Bingo!

Abbey Whittington

Look for news with content

On my trek between classes yesterday I was scrolling through Snapchat’s “news feed,” mostly ignoring the typical Jenner/Kardashian crap sprinkled across the Internet until I saw a photo of the iconic rapper Nicki Minaj. Naturally my eyes were drawn to her look since the photograph was from New York Fashion Week, but I found myself gazing into the back of my skull with disgust once I read what the story was really about. They were calling Minaj out on a having a wardrobe malfunction, a “nip slip,” and had five different angles of pretty much the same photo with a censor over her chest. I have a never-ending list of criticisms of the fashion industry already, and I suppose I can understand people are there to look and feel like they are on the top of the celebrity pyramid, but really? I am sure there was probably a total of two seconds where her top was not completely covering her and people jumped at the chance to humiliate her for a quick mistake. And please do not mistake this for me hating journalism, because these types of stories are anything but journalism. Although I am a huge fan of entertainment news and I have unconditional and sometimes problematic love for certain celebrities (I am definitely talking about Queen Bey), I find it weird people are so interested in the miniscule things public figures or celebrities do. We put them on some weird pedestal and worship them and then put them under a scrutinizing magnifying glass as soon as they do anything that reeks of morality. If we are going to talk about things that celebrities do I would much rather hear something that is impactful, not about some pop star having an “off” hair day. Just imagine having even one person looking over your shoulder to remind you of every tiny thing that is out of place in your life. For instance, Thursday morning when I pulled myself out of what seemed like my coffin, I was not ready to face my morality and responsibilities. I went through my normal routine and as soon as I got to class I realized my pants were inside out. That is what sleep deprivation and cramming before the night of an exam will do to you. And with that, I thank the stars I am and never will be famous because it would be a little humiliating if people knew I forgot how to get dressed yesterday.

Staff Editorial

Be thoughtful when disseminating information The phrase “fake news” has been talked about a lot lately- everywhere you turn, there seems to be some fake story made up intended to dupe people into clicking on some website looking merely for ad revenue, and not to inform the public. This has caused a headache for real news organizations, who unfortunately get very unfairly lumped into the “fake news” category for a variety of reasons, usually because someone does not like what they are reporting. This is why many have been talking about the importance of verifying information when on social media. Some are being more careful and making sure they are vigilant on social media, calling others out when they post something that is non-factual. However, what might is not known is the importance of doing this on not only a national but local level as well. In fact we’d even say hyper-locally, people should do this as well. Eastern is not a tiny university, but it is not a large one either. One thing the university often tries to market is the fact that it is a public univer-

value that would hurt someone else just to get more clicks or readership. In non-journalism settings, this could mean deciding whether everyone really needs to know a new piece of gossip, or if it would hurt someone without any tangible benefits. Is what you are saying going to change anything drastic in the long run? Is anyone benefiting from what you are saying? Will anyone be hurt if you do not say it? Being journalists, we of course believe in freedom of speech and information. It is incredibly important to uphold those values. However, while we do have the freedom to say what we want in the United States, this does not preclude us in being thoughtful in how and what we choose to say. In the long run, being thougtful in deciding what information to spread is better for everyone in the long run. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Do not wake people up at night There is nothing like getting a good night’s sleep as a college kid. You work hard all day and the second your head hits the pillow, it is glorious. And a lot of us only have so many hours to get sleep. More times than not we are catching up on sleep. My roommate Kyle ruins that for me all the time. I lived with Kyle last year as you might remember. He set off the fire alarm at 4 a.m. in Stevenson Hall, spilled a crockpot of boiling hot water and chicken on himself. The 4 a.m. wake-up call was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life and looking back it is now one of the funniest as well. Nothing tops the spilled crockpot since Kyle was unharmed. He is crazy, but Kyle is one of my best friends and I would not trade it for anything else. He is a vital part to our “Unit.” Last year the big wake up call was when he set the fire alarm off and scared me half to death and woke me up. But now, he is more intentionally waking me up. Here is a scenario. Most people when they go to sleep, their lights are off, TV is

sity that feels like a private university. One consequence that comes from that, though, is the fact that rumors can spread on a campus like this one. Someone hears something, they pass it on to the next person, albeit with some information getting lost in translation, who passes it on. There, it goes down the line until the original information, which might not have been correct in the first place, is completely distorted. In the best-case scenario, this leads to a little misunderstanding that ends in a few chuckles and shaken heads. In the worst-case scenario, it can cause widespread confusion and nervousness, especially in such a close-knit university. This is why it is so important, that before passing along information, you make sure it is from a reliable source. Not only that, you think about whether or not it is worth spreading in the first place. As journalists, we at The Daily Eastern News are taught to minimize harm. This means not publishing information without

off, phone is on a nightstand and they are wrapped in their blankets. Correct me if I am wrong. I am going to take a guess that we are in agreement here…besides Kyle. He does not seem to grasp the whole idea. It has happened more than once in our time living together this year. It still blows my mind that he continues to do it. Kyle is always working hard on his physical therapy major and is in the library all hours of the night. When he rolls back into our apartment at 1 a.m., I am lights out. Kyle comes back, opens my door and says ‘hey what’s up Sean, good night bro.’ OK, I

get the nice gesture, but I am totally asleep. I do not know what he is thinking when he walks into the apartment at 1 a.m. or why he does not get the idea that when my door is closed, lights are off, TV is off, and phone is on m night stand that I am sleeping. I love Kyle to death, but, man, it drives me crazy. Once he wakes me up I make sure that I just lay as still as I can so he does not stop talking. Except, he will try to keep saying what’s up to me. After a few failed attempts Kyle goes to bed. But this is not over. Not even close. The waking up has not stopped. Kyle likes to run at 6 a.m. as well and since he sleeps like a rock he needs the most intense alarm clock of all time. This is a first ballot Hall of Fame alarm clock. It is called the Sonic Bomb. That noise cuts through two closed doors and a wall and wakes me up. If you are like Kyle, stop it and be more courteous to your roommate. Kyle, please read this so I get my point across even more.

Students have 24 hours to show art

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | NEWS

Poker face

By AJ Fournier Campus Reporter | @DEN_News Students will have the opportunity to act out a skit, sing a song or perform anything that they want at the “No Shame” open mic night 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23. The 24-hour open mic night will go until 7 p.m. the following day. Frank Monier, a senior theatre arts major, said this is an opportunity for students to perform on any subject that they want to. “It can be anything. They can get up there and sing a song or do a dance,” Monier said. “A lot of people want to write, so they are going to write something, get a team of actors and perform it.” Even though the event is 24 hours, participants do not have to stay for the entire time. They will meet at 7 p.m., talk about how the night will go and then take a break around midnight to let people sleep, Monier said. He said during the break, students can still perform or use the time to build sets and prepare for their performances if they need to. Moinier said the performances will either take place in the Globe/Theater or Black Box, bu students can perform other places too. “If you want to perform on the steps or in the quad, no one is going to stop you,” Monier said. Senior psychology major Gabrielle Going said people who write short stories or plays typically never have the time to present their work.

Panthers host first OVC match Sunday By Dillan Schorfheide Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s women’s soccer team has its first conference match of the season Sunday against Southern Illinois Edwardsville. The match will be the sixth home match for the Panthers, and it will be the second OVC match for the Cougars. Both teams up to this point have been preparing for the conference matches, but the Panthers have had a better start to their season than the Cougars have. Eastern, which is on a threematch win streak, has placed itself in third in the OVC with a 5-2-1 record behind first-place Murray State (5-0) and second-place Austin Peay (5-2). SIUE on the other hand, has a losing record in its first seven games, sitting in ninth place in OVC standings with a 2-4-1 record. If the Cougars were looking for a break after their 5-1 loss to Missouri State on Sunday, they will be disappointed for this weekend. SIUE faces two of the top four teams in the OVC this weekend, first Belmont (4-2-1), who’s fourth in the OVC, on Friday and then the Panthers on Sunday. And while the Cougars are com-

ing off a loss, the Panthers have momentum on their side after a weekend sweep, in which the offense was able to net five goals in two games. In the offensive category, Eastern has outscored SIUE 16-5 on the season, and defensively, the Panthers have allowed five fewer goals (10) than the Cougars (15). Also, Eastern has three players, Kate Olson, Sarah DeWolf and Hannah Heinz, who have become a scoring threat off the bench. They lead the team with three goals, with five other players who have scored as well. SIUE has three players who have scored the team’s five goals, two of which, Caroline Hoefert and MacKenzie Litzsinger, who have two goals each. The two teams have three common opponents this season that have brought different results, both teams having played UIC, IUPUI and Western Illinois. Both teams beat Western, SIUE 1-0 and Eastern 2-1. Eastern lost to UIC in an exhibition match 4-1, and the Cougars lost to UIC in a regular season match 1-0. Both teams also defeated IUPUI, Eastern 2-0 and SIUE 3-1 in an exhibition match. Eastern is 4-1 at home this season, compared to SIUE’s 0-1 away record. The match is set for 1 p.m.

The women’s soccer team celebrates a goal in the Panthers’ 3-2 double OT win over Fort Wayne Sept. 8. Eastern has its OVC opener at home Sunday afternoon.

B e f o r e E a s t e r n’s f i r s t OVC match, the Panthers will travel to Indianapolis to face Marian University Friday at 6 p.m. Marian is 4-2 on the year while boasting an undefeated 4-0 home record. Eastern has

an even away record of 1-1-1. The Knights have the scoring edge on the Panthers, with a total of 27 goals on the season, 11 more than the Panthers. And much like Eastern, Marian is riding a three-

match win streak that is part of a stretch of eight home matches in a row. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@eiu.edu.

Men’s soccer team heads to Evansville By Vince Lovergine Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team continues its mini two-game road trip, but this time a little closer to home. The Panthers have a three-day layoff before returning to the field when they head to Evansville, Indiana to take on the Evansville Purple Aces on Sunday afternoon. Eastern has yet to find much consistency on offense so far this year, as the offense has only produced four goals in seven matches this season. Senior goalkeeper Mike Novotny has held his own through seven matches to this point, allowing only five goals this season, saving 53 shots and recording four shutouts. Novotny’s strong play in goal has earned him national recognition as well. His 53 saves lead the nation.

He is also the national leader in saves per game with 7.57 as well as minutes played with 710. With the offense struggling to put the ball in the back of the net, Eastern has only had 43 shots, while their opponents have had 125. The Panthers have landed 14 shots on goal and have allowed 58 on goal. With only allowing five goals this year, the first period is a tough one for the Panthers as four of those five goals allowed come in the first. In the loss to Marshall Wednesday night, the perfect season came to an end for Eastern, as they were dealt their first loss of the season. After tying one and winning one game at Lakeside Field last week, the Panthers were shut out by Marshall 3-0. Evansville is struggling a little bit as of late, as they ride a two-game los-

ing streak. The Purple Aces have a 4-2 overall record, and perform well at home, still undefeated at 3-0. The Purple Aces are a good offensive team, scoring 16 goals on home turf compared to just one on the road. Sophomore Johnny Huerta leads Eastern with nine shots but knows the team has to keep moving forward to fix their weakness. “It’s a tough loss for us but the mentality we have stays the same going forward,” Huerta said. “We have games coming up that we have to focus on so we have to learn from our mistakes this game and try to fix as the season goes on.” The Panthers and the Purple Aces play Sunday at 2 p.m. Vince Lovergine can be reached at 581-2812 or vplovergine@eiu.edu.

Eastern set for big game with Redbirds

By Sean Hastings Sports Editor|@DEN_Sports It is not an Ohio Valley Conference matchup, but it is the battle for the Mid America Classic Trophy between two instate rivals, Eastern and Illinois State. Eastern had a let-down game last week and Illinois State is coming off a bye leading up to the home opener Saturday at O’Brien Field. The Panthers are the owners of the Mid America Classic Trophy now after a 24-21 win at Illinois State last year. Eastern led for much of the game, but a late push made it a closer final score. It is the Panthers’ home opener, Family Weekend, and brings a little bit more to the table than any other regular season

game. “We’ll have a good crowd,” coach Kim Dameron said. “It’s a big game. I told our kids it’s like a playoff atmosphere, it’s like a playoff game. That’s what we’re approaching it like, but our preparation is really not any different than any other game.” Since he has been here the biggest thing Dameron has preached is to not turn the ball over and the Panthers did not follow that last weekend. Eastern turned the ball over three times. “We can’t turn it over, we can’t,” Dameron said. “We also need to create turnovers defensively. But the biggest focus for us offensively has been getting in sync, get going, be at the right spot at the right time and doing the right thing.”

In week one, Illinois State won 45-0 over Butler and allowed just 41 yards to the Bulldogs. That stat is something that is not seen everyday, but that does not concern Eastern. It comes down to what Eastern knows about them and the Redbirds bring back essentially the same team the Panthers’ played last year. “They’ve got a good stable of (running) backs, they’ve got tight end and they’ve got a heck of a quarterback,” Dameron said. “We know that, regardless of what happened in week one. I’d have been totally shocked if that hadn’t have happened because I know what type of football team they have.” A big part of Eastern’s offense runs through junior running back Isaiah John-

son, who has played in just two career games. Through two games, Johnson has 89 rushing yards on 26 attempts with one rushing touchdown which came in Eastern’s season-opening win over Indiana State. Johnson knows that he and the rest of the offense has to get going, and doing it this weekend on their home turf is the perfect time for that. Johnson said they have put in extra preparation into this week, such as watching film and making sure everyone is healthy. After two games as the starting running back, he said he is getting more comfortable playing at this level. “It is a different level of play and

speed,” Johnson said. “All the athletes out there, you can’t run circles run around out there like in junior college, everybody is a pretty good athlete out there. You definitely need to bring it all to the table if you want to compete.” The same goes for this week, as both Dameron and Johnson said the turnovers cannot happen. Defensively, the Panthers will have a few suspensions to work around. Senior safety Bradley Dewberry and junior defensive lineman Josh Price both received targeting penalties last week that have them suspended for the first half of this week’s game.

Football team facing perfect opportunity for turnaround By Maher Kawash Football Reporter | @DEN_Sports It is family weekend, the first home game of the season, and time for one of the biggest in-state rivalries. There is no better time or opportunity than Saturday afternoon for the Eastern football team to gain momentum and take off with its season. The Panthers host No. 14 ranked Illinois State at O’Brien Field this weekend, and there is no doubt the atmosphere will be just right for an upset to please the home crowd. After the 28-point blowout Eastern received from Northern Illinois Univer-

Maher Kawash sity a week ago, it also comes at a desperate time for the team to turn it around. Yes, it is still early into the season as this is just week three, but the last thing this team wants to do is head into next week’s conference-opener with two losses.

If history can repeat itself, the Panthers will be in great shape considering how they traveled to Illinois State last year and pulled off the upset. But there is also a bad side to Eastern’s history in home openers as the Panthers have dropped their last three including a 34-31 loss to the Redbirds in 2015. Luckily for Eastern, the team still is pretty similar to the one that knocked off ISU a year ago, and there is no question that Mitch Kimble plays a vital role in that. Kimble may be coming off a week of three turnovers, but in his career he has never been one to consistently turn the ball over.

While Eastern hopes that results in a clean game against the Redbirds, it is also important to mention how the Panthers performed on their home turf a year ago. The Panthers actually played better on the road as they won just two of three games at O’Brien last year as Western Illinois, Murray State, and Tennessee-Martin all knocked off Eastern. That will have to change this time around as those last two home losses could be said to be the biggest last year. Murray State came into the Panthers house on homecoming weekend and escaped with a 40-38 win, and with family weekend arriving that cannot happen again.

Family weekend is always one of the biggest games as far as attendance, and the Panthers have a solid chance to not only build momentum for the rest of the season but to also send the crowd roaring. Eastern was up and down last year when coming off a loss the week before as their first loss a year ago was followed by three straight wins. If that were to happen again, the Panthers would be set up well to not only dominate conference play, but go on the road with more confidence.
