CAA votes to revise courses By Cassie Buchman Administration Editor | @cjbuchman The Council on Academic Affairs voted in favor of revising two chemistry courses during their meeting Thursday. The classes are CHM 1410 General Chemistry II and CHM General Chemistry Laboratory II. The lab class is the companion to a threehour lecture. The CAA then entertained a motion to suspend the bylaws so the chemistry proposals could be acted on that day and added them to the agenda. Mark McGuire, department chair of the physical science department, spoke about the classes at the meeting. McGuire said there were not many changes taking place in the courses. In the middle of July, McGuire got a request from people who asked him to look at the chemistry classes. As part of the chemistry classes, they want a currently approved university course proposal. “You know, the department’s been making an effort in the last couple years to look at our current course proposals, and not all of ours are up on the electronic course library,” McGuire said.

Glassman narrows budget gap, eliminates incentives Staff Report Eastern President David Glassman sent an email to all university employees Thursday announcing his decision to no longer explore the possibility of implementing retirement incentives this fall. Glassman said he indicated the university was looking into retirement incentives as an agreement between the administration and the University Professionals of Illinois. He said saving on university costs and narrowing the gap between anticipated revenues and predictable costs for the 2016 fiscal year would have been the purpose for the incentives. “It was my intent that if any retirement incentive program be implemented, all employee groups would be treated similarly in a commitment to fairness,” Glassman said. The final decision came after a realization of the risk that incentives might actually increase university spending. “I have decided not to offer a retirement incentive this year,” Glassman said. “I believe that my decision is in the best interest of the university.”

Trey Turner, a member of The Icarus Account, performs “Chicago,” the band’s latest single during their show at 7th Street Underground on Thursday.
YouTube series starts strong By Luis Martinez Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News Twin brothers Ty and Trey Turner, 27, started playing music over 15 years ago, eventually forming The Icarus Account. The duo officially started up their band over eight years ago, and became quite serious only five years ago. The brothers performed as part of the University Board Mainstage YouTube artist series Thursday night at 7th Street Underground. “We started back before YouTube was really big, back in probably 2006 was when we first started out,” Ty said. ”We didn’t know that much about YouTube back then, there weren’t really great quality videos that we could record at that point in time.” Ty said they were able to find a studio to record and used MySpace originally to spread their music. “A couple of years later, when YouTube started coming around and when people started getting better cameras and stuff like that, then we started doing covers video on YouTube,” Ty said. This was the brothers’ first time performing here at Eastern, although they play in different venues all over the country. “We played all over,” Trey said. “Our last big tour, we did Charlotte, Philly, and Boston. We played the Grand Mercy Theater in New York, that was pretty cool.” Trey said they perform not only university shows, but they also perform at clubs, venues and bars. The duo performed a variety of their own original songs, as well as a few covers of some well-known songs. Some of their original songs include “She Walks Away,” “Proud,” “No One Else,” and a brand new song not yet recorded, titled “Chicago.”
The brothers got really creative combining the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” “Habits” by Tove Lo, and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye into one continuous song and had some of the audience members singing along with them. The brothers even played some covers of “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town and “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. “There’s so many things that inspire us,” Ty said. “We grew up listening to music and just loving it and there’s a lot of really great song writers that really inspire us over the years.” Ty said they write their songs a lot about love and relationships, and their family gives them inspiration as well.
“Ultimately, it’s about life’s experiences and emotions and just trying to bottle those up into a song.” -Trey Turner member of The Icarus Account
“Everyday you feel something new,” Trey said. “Writing is just trying to express whatever you’re feeling. Ultimately it’s about life’s experiences and emotions and just trying to bottle those up into a song.” Audrey Rex, a freshman chemistry major, said she heard from a previous UB event, that the band was scheduled to perform on campus; she and her friend were excited. Though she had never before seen them live, she had been following them on Instagram and Twitter for months. “I really like their style and all the instru-
ments they play,” Rex said. “I listened to them for four hours today while I was studying.” Other non-musical aspects about the band include their comical segues. Rex said this part of the performance made her like the band even more. “I didn’t think they would actually make me really laugh, but they did,” Rex said who could not stop giggling when addressed by the duo during their performance. Patrick Davis, the UB mainstage coordinator, said he thought the show was great. “Tonight was awesome,” Davis said. “Icarus Account was really dope. I really dig them.” Davis said he would probably go out and buy their album, and he could not be more excited about the performance. “For the first turnout, I’m pretty pleased with it,” Davis said. “We’re in a very intimate setting so I felt like the aura was really good, especially for their genre of music.” Davis said there was great crowd participation during the show and there was not a dull moment in the show. The brothers said if they had to choose between playing on YouTube or playing live, they enjoy playing live more. “When it’s live, number one you’re performing and you can tell how much talent the people do or don’t have,” Trey said. “Number two, it’s not a marketing game. You have to be very strategic about what covers you put on YouTube, how the shots and angles are done, and live, it’s raw.” Ty said he likes the intimacy of a smaller audience when performing live.

The Charleston Parks and Recreation Department’s five main staff members plan out events for Charleston residents of all ages to enjoy. The parks department comes out with a booklet three times a year that includes about one hundred planned events and classes. Diane Ratliff, who is in charge of tourism and special events, said the book comes out on a semester calendar. The programs in the book are planned by the different positions on the staff. Ratliff said most of the events that are planned are ones they have taken from previous years. “We always take suggestions from the community,” Ratliff said. “When we get a suggestion from the community and offer it, it is sometimes a big hit.” Dirk Bennett, the athletic supervisor, said some of the past athletic events have been modified to attract more people to the parks department. “We had a youth football clinic for first-and second-graders for many years and it was suggested that we make it into an actual flag football league,” Bennett said. “We're always looking to improve and evaluate and add to it.” Kaylie Pruett, the recreation supervisor, said she plans most of the events that are not for the tourism or sports departments. “Every semester I’ll have all of the

kids stuff that isn’t sports related, dog classes, special interests, and senior lifestyle events,” Pruett said. Pruett said some of the ideas she has gotten for the book have come from Pinterest, a social networking site that allows users to save articles onto virtual pinboards. Bennett said some of the rotary pool events are included in the department. Ratliff said the difference between the department and a park district is the funds that support them. “ We are community funded
through municipal fees and we put on programs that are open for everyone,” Ratliff said. “With park districts, you have memberships for that district and you have extra fees outside of that area.” Pruett said she participated in a lot of the sports when she was growing up and the parks department is cost effective. Bennett said his favorite part about being the athletic supervisor is seeing all the kids and parents show up for the events he has coordinated.
“All of a sudden this thing that you have in your mind or put on a spreadsheet is actually working,” Bennett said. Ratliff said she has worked for 10 years as the recreation supervisor and the last five years as tourism and special events. "One of the hardest things about the move to tourism was leaving the kids," Ratliff said. “Seeing the kids grow up in our programs is a lot of fun.” Mackenzie Freund can be reached at 581-2812 or at mgfreund@eiu.edu.

business strategies. These business strategies are to prepare the students for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical filed, or to take on advanced degrees in the medical sciences. According to the board report, they anticipate the program enrolling 10 majors in the first year and 25 once the program is fully put into effect. Paul McCann, vice president of business affairs, said there is some information they are providing to the board on athletics and about Title 9 they are required on an annual basis to provide. “Those are pretty normal reports,” McCann said. “We give information on what (athletics) has done in the last year.” The summary of purchases will also be given at the meeting. “We are required by board regu-
lations to provide them with a list of purchases between $100,000 and $250,000,” McCann said. These purchases include beverages from Pepsi Mid America in Marion, edible and nonedible items for Chick-Fil-A from MBM Corporation in Atlanta, Ga., elevator maintenance and software maintenance. At the meeting, it will be announced if the naming of university property will go forward. The property to potentially be named is the School of Technology Conference Room-Room #1151 in Klehm Hall. McCann said there will be little in the way of discussion at this meeting except for the president’s report. “He will make some comments,” McCann said. “I think a lot of it will be about athletics and about the other things that are at the board meeting.”
University highlights will be reported to the board. “There are highlights of what have gone on, on campus,” McCann said. “That’s just a regular report the board is provided with.” The highlights to be reported on at this meeting are Eastern’s rankings as one of the best online colleges in Illinois for 2015, the changes made in the website to be mobile-friendly, and the new transitional program started by the Autism Center to help incoming students with autism spectrum disorders navigate their new college environment. The program is called Students with Autism Transitional Education Program, or STEP. Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

Praise dancing, mime ministry dance for spirituality By T’Nerra Butler Multicultural Editor | @DEN_News Many dance groups on Eastern’s campus deliver different messages to various crowds, but “In Christ for Christ” moves to a different beat. IC4C Praise Dancing and Mime ministry dance through their spirituality. These individuals have infused two elements of praise dancing which are miming, and traditional inspirational dance, to form a group, which praises through sound and movement. Praise dancing is typically done in the church and is another form of worship for Christians. The group is under the Unity Gospel choir on campus and minister around campus as well. Tamara Swanson, the director of IC4C, said the group praises God through a song of which they feel a connection with. “It’s our way to connect with God; it’s our way to give praise to him,” Swanson said. “We try to perform, and minister at least two times a year at concerts.” Swanson said when dancing, she is telling a story through her movements. The praise dancers in the group do lyrical and ballet style dances. Swanson said their movements can be described as smooth and graceful. “I was brought up dancing knowing that you can’t give God mess so the way you move is supposed to be
your all, you’re not supposed to just throw the dance at God,” Swanson said. “When dancing I feel a breakthrough.” A spiritual release is felt while dancing, Swanson said. She said it is her form of meditating. Aigner Nash, a senior health administration major, is a mime dancer for IC4C and said a vital part of miming is the facial expressions. “Miming is multiple faces based on your emotions and what the song is saying,” Nash said. “It’s a strong connection to a song, I can’t minister a song if I’m not connected to it.” Nash said while dancing she can be going through something in her life and she will leave those emotions on stage. She said her miming speaks through whatever pain she is feeling. “Whether it’s speaking, singing, crying, dancing, that’s a prayer to God. It’s simply prayer through movement,” Nash said. Nash said many times students go to college and lose their sense of religion. She said miming constantly reminds her of her faith in God. RonNesha Harris, a senior communication studies major, said she has been miming since she was 14. She said miming for her is an adrenaline rush. She said her purpose is to convey a message while she is on the stage. The mimes paint their entire face white and wear all black. “I feel like when I put that makeup on I’m one with my mime, like I’m one with everything when I put

the entire outfit together,” Harris said. Harris said miming is a gift she possesses and she tries to embrace her talent whenever she can. Often times, dancers use improvisation if they make a mistake. Nash said she goes on her own accord if a song hits an emotional nerve.
Harris said if she actually makes a mistake on stage she feels bad, not for the audience but for herself. “If I do bad, it feels like I didn’t leave it all on stage, all the pain, the hurt, or just letting stuff go,” Harris said. Both mime dancers agreed their technique is similar to how writers express feelings; they said they dance
what they preach. The praise and mime dancers perform sometimes as a mixed group and often times with the separate dance styles. T’Nerra Butler can be reached at 581-2812 or tabutler@eiu.edu.
Booth Library to host Curiosity Day event for kids By Liz Gomez Staff Reporters | @DEN_News The Booth Library will be hosting its first ever Curiosity Day here at Eastern for the children and parents of the Charleston area on Saturday at 10 a.m. in the Booth Library Ballenger Teachers Center.

Waiting for marriage is worth it Dating is a natural thing in college. People meet on campus, realize they are attracted to each other and then start this confusing thing we call dating. They go out to dinner, walk around campus, make out in the hallways of Doudna and they might even decide that they want to put a ring on the relationship. One of the important decisions that needs to be made in the course of that relationship, however, is whether they want to have sex or not and when. Waiting until marriage for sex can be both good and bad for a relationship. But, making the decision to wait does not have to be religion-orientated. Waiting to have sex with someone can be a decision that a couple will be glad they made if their relationship makes it in the long run. First of all, waiting for sex is not impossible for someone who has had sex before. It can, honestly, be a good chance for the person to learn self-control. Many people let their sex drive run their feelings for someone too. This causes them to have false feelings for someone or rush into a relationship. Being in a relationship with someone is a big decision. Let your brain control your emotions, not any little mind a person may have in other parts of their body. Relationships need something to look forward to, to keep them exciting for both partners. If someone gives you a wrapped present, you like the excitement of not knowing what it is at first, right? Well, what if that person just told you what it was when they handed it to you? It takes out all of the excitement and the surprise, does it not? The same applies to a relationship. If the kissing part of the relationship is already amazing six months into the relationship, would you not want the surprise and excitement for when you do take the step and go all the way? Wrapping it all up and giving someone the full package on the first date can make the relationship boring quickly. As for the health side of things, it is always better to wait to have sex with someone until you really know them. I mean the guy or girl can be extremely cute, but until you know their past history with people you will not know if they are STD free or if they will run away in the case of pregnancy. Abstinence is always the best option when you are talking about someone’s health. When it comes down to it, waiting to have sex until marriage is a good idea for couples young and old. Waiting to have intimacy until the wedding night makes the whole marriage thing more exciting. Sydney Edwards is a freshman marketing major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or skedwards2@eiu.edu.

Do not wait to cram for the election The time for presidential candidate campaigning is here. From social media to news outlets, America is abuzz discussing and dissecting the professional and personal qualities of those individuals running for the 2016 presidential election. Instead of tuning out or turning it off, it is time to look up and take notice of the influential candidates that are vying for, arguably, the most powerful position in the world. As easy as it may sound to just block out the barrage of commercials, hashtags and personal opinions, it also hinders voters from taking the initiative to become active in the next election. November 2016 might seem far away, but now is an opportune time to listen to the pressing issues and the candidates’ stances on those issues. An easy way for voters to begin their research is by studying the issues that matter to them and deciding what side they will take.
From there, following the political party debates is a great way to see where candidates stand on the issues. It is also important to watch the candidates’ consistency over the length of their campaign. Looking into a presidential candidate’s views is similar to looking into a university’s academic benefits. Both are steps to securing a brighter future. As adults with the right to vote, college students have the power to choose what the future will bring, and not enough young adults are using their right to vote. According to a 2012 article in USAToday, “about 22 million to 23 million people under 30- or at least 49 percent- voted in the election.” 51 percent of this age demographic did not place a vote in the 2012 election. People have the right to choose who may be representing the U.S. for the next four years. Every vote matters.
Just because someone is young does not mean the vote can be considered any less significant than others. Today, there are many outlets through which students are able to educate themselves about the issues and the candidates. So there are no excuses for being uninformed and not voting when the time to vote rolls around. Just like extensive studying before an exam, research is vital to making an informed and responsible vote in the next election. When researching, do not let buzzwords and click bait sway your thoughts or decisions. Find a candidate who best represents your views and values. Stay informed, and think for yourself. No one will know whom you voted for. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Mediafest offers career advice to students Mediafest was the scene in Buzzard Hall Thursday. Mediafest, hosted by the Society for Collegiate Journalists and The Agency, is an annual event where many forms of journalistic media converge to explain what their organization does and how to get involved. The event is also a way to allow journalism students who have had internships to speak on a panel to answer any questions and give advice on how they landed their summertime gig. In short, Mediafest is like Pantherpalooza, but for those interested in student media, whether it is print, broadcast or radio, which is a great thing. Getting involved in student media as a journalism or even communication studies major is an important way to get a foot in the door for employment. There are many different student media groups that will allow students to see if their major really is something they want to do for the rest of their life. There is The Daily Eastern News, The Agency, The Warbler, Hit-Mix 88.9 FM , WEIUTV and The Vehicle. One of the rare benefits of Mediafest is that many of the students who work in those outlets have majors in that discipline and are getting invaluable experience for that field. Seeing fellow peers who not only are studying, but gaining experience in their field at the
Roberto Hodge same time can be encouraging to those prospective students who are undecided in what they want to do. Being part of any student media group also gives a student experience in media, and it can greatly benefit a student after college. Employers will be more apt to hire people who were part of an organization and gained experience than someone who did not. Being part of an organization can also help students when applying for internships. Employers will see that a student has already been involved in some sort of media, and an internship can also lead to a job offer after college or open the door for job opportunities. That said, I had a chance to speak on the internship panel with fellow student media workers and, after hearing them speak further, solidified why I sacrificed my early mornings.
Speaking on the panel was also beneficial because one student who was obviously very curious about how the internship process worked asked lots of questions. Being able to have an event where students who are curious about media can ask questions regarding jobs and internships is a bright sign. It shows there are some who are interested in what their major is and want to learn more. When departments or programs have events where they can show students the different activities they have is an awesome thing especially for incoming students. Mediafest was not the only chance to get involved in student media. A student can go to any of these organizations and join. Student media will always welcome new and eager members who are ready to get involved. Coming to a new university can be intimidating and trying to find organizations that allow for creativity and interaction with those who share the same interest can be hard as well. Getting involved in something on campus is not only a great way to get experience and get a nice resume booster, but it also gives room to step out and meet new people.

Bluegrass jam band to perform By Kendra Cwikla Staff Reporter| @DEN_News Merging bluegrass with everything from classical music to space sounds, bluegrass fusion band Porch Fire will be playing at Macs’ Uptowner Saturday night. The six-piece band’s members come from all over the Midwest, but are based in Carbondale. Porch Fire’s members are Dakota Yeck-Petty on the mandolin and vocals, Blake Bledsoe on guitar and backup vocals, Elizabeth Hartman on bass and backup vocals, Troy Hutchens on drums, Cecily Rhodes on the fiddle, and Levi Jones on keyboard. The group started in August, playing their first show together in Charleston. The band plays bluegrass instruments but experiments with other genres like reggae, funk and experi-
mental jam, bringing it back to bluegrass. “We like to bend the genre a little bit and see what else we can do with these instruments,” Yeck-Petty said. “We’ve got a lot of different sounds that we can do a little bit of Middle Eastern stuff, do a little bit of space sounds, then go into something bluegrass then going to something jazz. It’s great. Everyone talks together really well musically.” Hartman has been playing the double bass for 15 years. “I’ve mostly played classical music for the past 10 years, playing in orchestras and stuff, and whenever I’m able to bring that in where it fits in that’s really neat,” Hartman said. The band plays a combination of covers and original music. One of the band’s favorite songs to play right now is called “Inertia,” which was written by Hartman. “I have way too much philosophy
in my head,” Hartman said. “It needs to come out somehow.” “For the first Porch Fire song we wrote, Blake came over with a chord progression, Troy came over with the idea for the song and I came up with lyrics and within an hour we had this song. We’ve done quite a lot with it since but that’s how we built it,” Hartman said. The band hopes to finish their first EP by the end of the year. “Everybody will come in and shoot their part to a click track and we record the instruments separately, and once we mix it down we upload to Soundcloud and Facebook and wherever you want to get music for free, and eventually have it at shows in a cool case or sleeve.” Blake said. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. and has a $2 cover charge. Kendra Cwikla can be reached 581-2812 or kecwikla@eiu.edu.

Tom Vance, president of the Five Mile House Foundation, said the event raises money for restoration projects. “This fundraiser has been an annual event for about 15 years, ever since the acquisition and restoration of the Five Mile House beginning in 1999,” Vance said. The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
“This fundraiser has been an annual event for about 15 years, ever since the acquisition and restoration of the Five Mile House beginning in 1999.” - Tom Vance, president of the Five Mile House foundation Admission will be $9 for adults and $5 for children under 12 years old. The entry fee will buy a barbecue
or chicken lunch, with potato salad, green beans and coleslaw. Dessert and a drink will also be provided. The fundraiser will include a silent auction and music will be provided by the Old Time Fiddlers, a traditional string music band. The fundraiser will be held in the Merchant’s building at the Coles County Fairgrounds and is open to the general public. The Five Mile House Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps preserve the history of the house. The house has programs for different events planned during the year, including the fourth-grade school program and the Fall Festival. The fourth-grade school program is put on during the summer to teach children about history. Historical games are taught to the kids, such as Game of Graces. Other games during the program consist of rolling hoops and the broom dance. The kids also learn a history lesson and get to experience open hearth cooking. Events at the festival vary each year. Some of the 2014 events included a petting zoo, wood-stove cooking and a performance by Mackville. The foundation also helps repair damages to the house, preserve historical elements and made the area surrounding the house more accessible to tourists. Vance said there are some plans to make the house more historical and attract more tourists. “(The funds) will also go to help fund eventual archaeology and the construction of a timber frame blacksmith shop at the site,” Vance said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Cherry thinks his team has been just a couple plays away and is capable of making those crucial plays in their games ahead. If Eastern hopes to come away with wins this weekend, and in the future, the team will more than likely need players like forward Molly Hawkins to come up big. Hawkins has led the pack for Eastern with her five goals and two assists. “I’ve been really impressed with Molly,” Cherry said. “She’s really seemed to benefit from the position change and it’s also been a huge lift for our team.” Even with Hawkins’ production, Cherry expects more of his players to step up and have an impact. Cherry not only expects it but also thinks other players will have more opportunities with so much attention being paid to Hawkins. “Molly is going to be on everyone’s scouting reports,” Cherry said. “Hopefully this will open the door for other players to break through and score when she’s being covered.” He also looks for his team to use more of an “outside-to-in” strategy by utilizing his forwards on the outside. “I don’t see any reason why the op-

more scoring chances off of set pieces, like free kicks and corners. With the conference schedule beginning Sept. 25 at Tennessee-Martin, Cherry wants his team to have
momentum for the long haul. The Panthers will play MissouriKansas City in Kansas City Friday at 7 p.m. and will play Chicago State Saturday at 2 p.m. at Lakeside Field

Softball team set to begin fall season Friday By Sean Hastings Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Eastern softball team will kickoff its fall portion of the schedule with eight games at Williams Field missing its top two hitters from last season. Shortstop Bailey O’Dell and catcher Hannah Cole were both lost to graduation. O’Dell and Cole were both at the top in Panthers’ batting average last year. Cole led with a .361 average and O’Dell had the third highest with .338. Besides O’Dell and Cole, everyone else has returned including seniors Jennette Isaac, Haylee Beck, April Markowski, Katie Watson and Kylie Bennett. Markowski, having been through this three times already, knows how
important this fall season is even though it does not count toward their regular season record. Markowski also had the second highest batting average on the team last year at .349. “What I (want to) get out of this fall season is coming out feeling ‘yeah, this is a great group of girls and we are going to be successful,’” Markowski said. She added that the fall season is especially important for the freshmen to get the feel of how college ball is played to be ready when they play the big schools later in the year. The Panthers have five freshmen on the roster this year in outfielder Kayla Bear, utility player Maria DeVito, utility player Jennifer Ames, infielder Mady Poulter, and catcher/infielder Ashley Brown. “This weekend being my first col-

Wireman led the team with 153.1 innings pitched and Rogers pitched 135.1 innings. The Panthers open their season Friday with a doubleheader against Danville Area Community College with the first game starting at 5 p.m. and the second game starting right after.

Eastern to host Redbirds in Mid-America Classic By Blake Nash Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The time for excuses has passed for the Eastern football team, as the Panthers host Illinois State for the annual Mid-America Classic at 7 p.m. on Saturday at O’Brien Field. After starting the season with twostraight losses followed by a matchup with last year’s national runnerup this weekend, coach Kim Dameron said that it is time for the Panthers to do their job. The Redbirds come onto O’Brien Field on Saturday ranked No. 5 in the latest Football Championship Subdivision poll. Their offense features AllAmerican senior running back Marshaun Coprich and senior quarterback Tre Roberson. The duo has helped Illinois State average 40 points per game and 372 yards per game through the first two weeks of the season. By looking at the Redbirds’ running game this week, red-shirt senior defensive tackle Dino Fanti knows that the Panthers need to contain both Roberson and Coprich. “You can’t take anything away from the running back. When both he and Roberson are in there, you have to account for both of them,” Fanti said. “Their offensive line is pretty young, so hopefully we can take advantage of that.” Fanti has recorded eight tackles per game in the first two weeks of the season, including two for a loss. He has been a part of this rivalry game before, which has reached 104 years, as has Illinois State senior linebacker Pat Meehan. Meehan is one of the leaders on team with 11 tackles. He was named a preseason second team All-American heading into the season. Meehan will see some new faces on the Panthers’ offense including red-shirt junior Devin Church. Church has averaged 46 yards per game this season, including a seasonhigh 63 yards on 11 carries in a loss at Northwestern Saturday.
He has become an option in the passing game as well, catching six passes for 43 yards out of the backfield. Church said that despite the rough start to the season, the Panthers’ veteran players have been trying to keep a positive vibe flowing throughout the team. A pair of good practices early this week also has the team feeling good about its chances on Saturday. “Being 0-2, a lot of people usually stick their head down and point fingers, but here everybody’s been coming together and trying to stay positive,” Church said. “We’re saying we’re going to win this game, and that the offense is going to get in the end zone.” The Panthers offense has been kept out of the end zone so far this season, but Dameron said that everyone is committed to keep running the offense the way it should be. Dameron said that he is still looking to get the ball in the hands of multiple running backs this week, including red-shirt senior Shepard Little and graduate student Jerron Seymour. Little was limited in the game against Northwestern after getting a concussion against Western. Little did not practice until Friday. “He’s lucky he played at all last week, but he wasn’t himself,” Dameron said. “This week he’s practiced all week, and he’ll be fine this week.” Senior cornerback Anthony Goodman is questionable for Saturday after sustaining an injury at Northwestern. Defensively, Dameron said the Panthers have to be aware of Roberson’s scrambling ability. He has rushed for 66 yards on 15 carries, but he can also find receivers while on the run. He added that the Panthers will have to take good angles to the ball to stop him. “He’s going to out-athlete you sometimes and we’ve just got to have 11 guys around the ball,” Dameron said. “It comes down to effort and angles.” This will be the final non-conference game for the Panthers, who have

lost 9 of their last 13 games against the Redbirds. It is a rivalry that dates back to 1901, and Fanti said that a doctor’s appointment should be made if fans, coaches and players are not ex-
cited for this one. “It’s one of those things if you can’t get up for ISU you should go to the doctor and have your pulse checked,” Fanti said. “Every time we play them
it’s usually a good game, so it’s important this week.” Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu.
Volleyball team to take on Ohio State Panthers By Ali Kissane Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern volleyball team will be taking on No. 13 Ohio State on Friday at the Oakland Golden Grizzly invitational. The Buckeyes will come to Oakland with an 8-1 record. The Golden Grizzlies will host Eastern along with Dartmouth, Western Michigan, and Ohio State at this weekend’s invitational. The Panthers dropped all three of their games against Cleveland, Dayton, and Baylor last weekend. “Last weekend definitely was challenging,” coach Sam Wolinski said. “We played really good competition, and I think we played well at times and there’s just some things we need to become more consistent at.” Wolinski added that ball control, serving game, and the hitters being consistent were the main focuses in practice this week. In terms of rankings, Wolinski said Ohio State will be one of the best teams that Eastern plays all year long. She added the teams the Panthers played last weekend helped them prepare to play Ohio State. “It definitely gets us ready for OVC play,” Wolinski said. “We have nothing to lose, they (Ohio State) have everything to lose in terms of playing a team
like us and it not going in their favor.” Western Michigan will be coming into this weekend with a 2-9 record. They have a strong outside hitter who earns a lot of kills for the team. Dartmouth is 2-3 on the year. “They have a strong outside and a strong right side,” Wolinski said. “Their right side is actually their go-to, so we have to make sure that we can contain her and know where she is.” Oakland comes into the weekend with a 3-7 record. Oakland won their conference last year and attended the NCAA tournament. The Panthers will have to be prepared for whatever the Golden Grizzlies bring as they are constantly changing their lineup now that they have all their players back. Eastern was able to get motivation out of their tournament last weekend and are prepared to play well in their last non-conference tournament before OVC play starts Sept. 25. “We have one more non-conference tournament to get us ready for OVC play, so it’s all about that and taking care of the little things,” Wolinski said. Wolinski added that it is about refining their skill set but also about refining the mental part of the game as well. Coming off the losses last weekend, Wolinski said the team has a lot of energy and confidence going into the tournament.

Freshman Taylor Smith had two kills in four sets played during the Panthers' 3-1 loss to Indiana State on Sept. 1 in Lantz Arena.
“It’s another chance to celebrate, another chance to play as well,” Wolinski said. “Even though we play Ohio State right off the bat, I think that’s exciting, we get to go out there and see what we’re made of.” The Panthers’ first match will be
Friday against Ohio State at 11 a.m. They will take on Oakland later that afternoon and Dartmouth and Western Michigan on Saturday. Ali Kissane can be reached at 581-2812 or aakissane@eiu.edu.
The Eastern women’s soccer team will look to end its two-game losing streak this weekend as the team visits MissouriKansas City on Friday and hosts Chicago State on Sunday. This comes after a 3-2 loss to Bowling Green State University in their last game. Eastern coach Jason Cherry once again saw his team show some positive signs, but he did feel there always needs to be improvement. “We’re working on a few things defensively that were evident in the game,” Cherry said. “We could also use some work in our attack as far as building up the play a bit more.” Cherry wants his team to play its own game. “I’d love to pick up two wins this weekend, which I think we can,” Cherry said. “But we have to clean up a few things and prepare ourselves for conference more than anything.”

Tips and tricks for fall lipstick trends By Abbey Whittington Staff Reporter | @DEN_Verge Select Your Shade It seems that after turning every corner, there’s another fashion trend to face because the world of fashion is constantly changing, especially with lipsticks. Many of these trends are comebacks from previous generations and blend with modern day fashion to create a fresh new look. With these renewed fashion statements comes accessorizing and finding a way to make, this blast from the past, a bolder version than it was before. The words that speak from your attire are not only from the clothing, but from how you pair your makeup with your outfit, which leads to the final element of sealing a fierce getup: the lipstick. Although new trends can also be expensive, lipstick is a very accessible addition to anyone looking to add a bit of edge to their wear. You can find affordable lipsticks at Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Forever 21 and many other stores. The tricky part is picking the right
shade of lipstick to make your outfit pop, so here are some tips for selecting your perfect shade: Go With the Season With sweater season on the way, the darker lipsticks are coming out. A nice shade of maroon always goes nicely to warm up your wardrobe, and these darker shades will look good throughout the winter as well. The spring calls for a pastel pink to celebrate the return of newly blossomed flowers. In the summer it’s good to pair a light pink, or bright red with your newly sun-kissed skin. Use Color Contrast Whip out your color wheel to see what shade will go well with that new blouse you just bought. A royal blue shirt can be accented well with a coral shade, and an emerald green dress will look sharp with a ruby red lip. Even just shades of red can be an accent to a green article of clothing. Take Advantage of Neutral Clothing Neutral clothing opens doors to a world of unlimited shades for the brave wearer of lipstick because anything goes
with black, white, grey, etc. Whether it be a hot pink with all black attire, a plum shade paired with a grey sweater, or even lavender lips with a white-collared shirt, neutrals are always a great way to experiment with new and funky makeup trends. Brown is Bliss Not only does new fashion icon Kylie Jenner rock several shades of brown lipsticks, but the shade also looks fabulous with any earthy tones in clothing. It’s an easy go to shade for yet another bold look. Find Your Favorite Color Sometimes, simply grabbing the lipstick tube that gets your attention can become your everyday shade. I personally fell in love with Studded Kiss’ “Prayer” by Kat Von D and wear it almost every day. Lipstick is an interesting and simplistic way for self-expression, as well as an experiment in painting the canvas that is you. I hope that these steps have guided you in your search for the right shade. Abbey Whittington can be reached at 581-2812 or anwhittington@eiu.edu.

Lipsticks come in many different types of colors, shades and stains. They also range in prices depending on where the lipstick is sold. Local drug stores will have weekly makeup specials to draw in buyers.

Hating football doesn’t mean it can’t be fun By Stephanie Markham Editor-in-Chief | @DEN_news Back when I was the editor of The Verge, someone suggested I include tips on how to tailgate in the issue we published right before the first home football game. I thought this was a good idea based on the interests of our readers, but I had no idea how to go about it. I wasn’t exactly an expert on the subject. As someone who doesn’t watch sports, drink beer or eat meat, I did not have much insight into that particular ritual. We ended up including a story in which we asked students about their tailgating memories and traditions. They recalled enjoying barbecues, showing school spirit or city pride, and watching on the edges of their seats for scoreboards to change. Since then I’ve realized a few things about the phenomenon that is sports culture. Even though I’ll most likely never catch on to the craze, I can understand why people do. The biggest reason I can figure it is tradition, and some others include bonding with family and friends, appreciating the incredible physical feats of athletes, and analyzing the complexities of game
strategies. I’ve also learned that you don’t have to be a super-fan to squeeze some type of fun out of football season. You can bring whatever food you want to a tailgate; it doesn’t have to be the typical burgers and hot dogs. Take an ice cream cake to the tailgate if you really want to. Melting might be a problem, but the point is you can take part in these activities without doing them exactly the way they are usually done. You can create your own traditions using old ones to inspire you. To me, watching a football game is like listening to a lecture in Spanish. I get that things are happening and people around me seem to be following along, but I just don’t speak the language. I don’t find sports interesting generally, so I don’t care to try too hard to understand. However, I have been to some games since I’ve been at Eastern, and it is possible to have a good time even if you have no idea what’s going on. After all, we all pay an athletics fee whether or not we are involved in any sports, so we might as well get something out of it. A football game can give you and your group of friends an excuse

to avoid homework for one more day and a reason to get together and chill. Some of your sports-literate friends may be able to guide you though the plays, and you might actually find that you spark a slight interest in whether the Panthers
win or lose. If not, you can simply hang out and talk about which football players/ Pink Panthers/ members of the marching band you find most attractive. Everybody does it. The point is, don’t be closed off to enjoying certain things just be-
cause it isn’t your scene. Learn to make your own fun wherever you are. Stephanie Markham is a senior journalism major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or samarkham@eiu.edu.

Missing out on being a part of the cheerful band because of a devastating head concussion inspired Amie Hanson to revitalize the school spirit group Blue Crew last year. Blue Crew, with the help of face paint, beads, foam fingers and pompoms, prepare for the matchup against our rival Illinois State at 7 p.m. on Saturday at O’Brien Field. Embodying Eastern’s school spirit, increasing participation in athletic events and building leadership opportunities is the heartbeat of this newly reestablished Registered Student Organization. “We create a family within Blue Crew and build a community that loves Eastern and its games, which then increases school spirit at our school," Hanson said. Approximately 150 members are a part of Blue Crew currently but the ultimate goal for the organization is to be the largest organization on campus, Hanson said. The crew leads pep within the stands by coordinating with the marching band with chants, cheers and clap-patterns. Sarah Hollenstine, a sophomore kinesiology sports studies major, said her experience in Blue Crew and being a part of a positive and up-beat group helped her gain more confidence. “Before this I was in a shell and you have to burst out of your shell to be a part Blue Crew,” Hollenstine said. Before a football game, the crew pre-
pares together by decorating themselves in full blue, grey and white colors and walk behind the marching band into the stadium. “It makes me feel proud to be a Panther and founder of the Blue Crew when there is a mass of Blue Crew members because I can just look back and see a sea of blue,” Hanson said. However, the crew is excited to participate at the #futurepanthers tailgate, sponsored by the admissions office, starting at 4:15 p.m. with check-in and cookout at 5:30 p.m. held at the Campus Pond. They plan to start a chant during the tailgate and boost the moral of the students with their enthusiasm and by being sociable. “My favorite part is dancing to the songs during half-time and time-outs because they play oldies which are the good stuff,” Kersten Kidd, a junior communication disorders and sciences major, said. If you are interested in being a part of Blue Crew you can join by emailing the organization at bluecrew@eiu.edu and paying an entry fee for their T-shirt. “It’s one of the best ways to get incorporated at the university and takes everyone from all different departments to come together to support Eastern,” Gretchen Butterfield, a sophomore biology major, said.

Country crooner gives shout out to “Illinois”
By Rose Sacco Verge Designer | @DEN_verge
Hailing from Paris, Ill., country artist Brett Eldredge is all about letting his fans know he is proud of where he was born and raised. That is why it comes as no surprise his newest CD, released Sept. 11, is aptly titled “Illinois.” With songs on it such as “Fire,” where he sings about how awestruck he is over a beautiful, devilish woman he recently met, it is hard to put this CD on and not want to dance and sing along. He also teams up with fellow country artist Thomas Rhett in “You Can’t Stop Me” where they sing about how exciting and happy their lifestyle is. They sing about how “the roof is on fire, so turn up the heat, all my friends are here, but the drink's on me.” Eldredge warns listeners that you can try to tame him, but you really cannot stop him. One of the more heartfelt and relatable songs is “Illinois.” The lyrics perfectly paint a vision of central Illinois: “I come from the
heart of the Heartland, where pictures shows where the corn grows, in rows and rows of summer greens, and winter snows, and it goes on, through the crack of the bat," Eldredge said. Eldredge’s “Illinois” is an all around happy-go-lucky upbeat-feeling production. His first single from the new CD, “Lose My Mind,” is a hilarious tale of how bittersweet it is for him to be falling for a girl who makes him feel crazy. Even though, Eldredge is literally singing about being in a straightjacket, somehow he makes the song so perky and entertaining that you almost want to switch places with him. Overall, I believe this is Eldredge’s best album. I can foresee him earning different awards in the future because of it. His ability to make any type of song catchy will make even noncountry fans want to buy this CD.
