PANEL

Faculty to discuss economic woes Panel discusses government’s influence on the economy By Kathryn Richter Staff Reporter

Faculty panelists will discuss the government’s role in the current global economic crisis today. The discussion, “Government and the Economy: Does Government Have a Role?” is co-sponsored by the University Professionals of Illinois and the Faculty Senate. The group will lead an intellectual discussion. The discussion is about the current economic crisis and whether the government has played a role in the current global situation or not. The panelists include philosophy professor Jason Waller; Jeanne Dau, director of the business solutions center; economic professor Teshome Abebe; history professor Ed Wehrle; political science professor Kevin Anderson; and Michael Gillespie, an associate professor of sociology. Abebe said the Faculty Senate and the University Professionals of Illinois approached faculty members from different colleges on campus to hold an intellectual fo-

rum because of the current debate about the global economy. “I hope we broaden their view of what is going on in the economy,” Dau said. “With your awareness maybe you can help be an agent of change.” Abebe said students have shown an increase in discussion about economic issues, as well as more anxiety and awareness about the economic situation. “All these shocks affect us here in the United States if not directly, indirectly,” Abebe said. “For example, some of the retirement and pension funds to which faculty members contribute hold positions in some of these global assets.” Dau said she had a different perspective to offer on the panel because of her diverse work history and her opinions where based on actual practice versus theory. “I felt that because I had a job in the past where I did work with the government economic development programs, I have a unique viewpoint,” Dau said. Dau said she felt that the government and capitalism should be kept separate and more incentives should be given to smaller businesses. Dau said she was familiar with the obstacles that small business face, having started four businesses in three different states in three years. WOES, page 5

RENE WABLE ENERGY

Students learn about energy By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Christopher Frederick, a graduate assistant in the school of technology, gives an overview of biomass gasification with Wei Wang, a graduate assistant in the school of technology, before students from introduction to speech communication honors give their speeches on clean energy Monday during an Integrative Learning and Renewable Energy research sharing event in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

It is not the strongest or even the smartest that may survive, but it is the most able to change. These words were said by Fiona Finnigan, a sophomore art major on Monday. Finnigan was one of five students who presented topics on renewable energy ranging from the war against carbon, the basics of biogas, corn as biomass and the green movement in architecture and schools. Two graduate assistants from the School of Technology also presented their work with renewable energy. “I think it is important for us all to be able to be willing to change and not stay the same, and I think it is much more important to think of renewable energy as moving forward,” Finnigan said. Kyle Burton, a freshman communication studies major, presented a speech on the war against carbon dioxide. “Every year humans produce staggering amounts of CO2, and now it threatens to cause a mass extinction of thousands of species on the world,” Burton said. “This is truly a war that humans have brought upon themselves and the first thing that needs to be done before engaging in war is to know thy enemy.” He said he was inspired to sculpt a speech around the theme of war because he has been a part of the Air National Guard for two years. “We have a long and expensive war ahead of us and it is not going to be easy, but with the opening of the Renewable Energy Center and rising support across the world, I have no doubt that one day the human race will claim a victory,” Burton said.

Even though it has been 17 years since Kirby Barr, a local veteran, served in the United States Marine Corps, he said he is still as patriotic as ever. Barr, a Marine from 1990 to 1994 and a lifelong Charleston resident, said he had always planned to join the forces and joined the Marines directly out of high school. “When the recruiter called me, I asked him what took so long,” he said. “I had been itching to join.” Barr said for him, joining the military is a family affair. He said his uncle, also a former Marine, inspired him to join the Marine Corps. “I’ve wanted to do it since I was a kid,” he said. “(My uncle’s) son and I played together and grew up idolizing the Marine core and listened to all the stories.” Barr said during his time in the Marine Corps, he served mainly in Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, but also served a six-month term in Okinawa, Japan. He said serving oversees especially made him value living in the U.S. “It made me appreciate home a lot more,” he said. Barr said throughout his time in the military, he had many signifi-

ried, Barr said he was not in a relationship during his time in the Marine Corps, which he said he believes was emotionally beneficial. “Being single made it easier,” he said. “I know a lot of friends that got married, and a lot that got divorced.” Barr said even though he is glad to be close to his family, there are times he still longs to go back to the Marines. He said he especially felt this way after Sept. 11, 2001. “It was tough for me,” he said. “I felt like I should have gone back in,

but I also felt I had to take care of my family commitment.” But for now, Barr said he enjoys spending time with his wife, 14-year-old daughter and 3-yearold son. He said he has hopes that his son will continue the military family tradition. “He likes to play with guns, so I’m hopeful he’ll follow in his dad’s footsteps,” he said.

Women's role in music business to be discussed Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor

The role of women in the music business will be discussed Wednesday. The film “ Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour” will be played and discussed by audience members and four panelists. David Gracon, an assistant professor of communication studies and one of the panelists, said the film is a documentation of the 2004-2005 world tour of the band, Le Tigre. Le Tigre is made up of founding members Kathleen Hanna, the lead singer, and Johanna Fateman and member JD Samson. The film follows the band across four continents and four countries, and captures their views on the male domination in the music industry.

Cafe begins live music event every Saturday evening By Brad York Verge Editor

Jackson Avenue Coffee (J.A.C.) is a location to go blowoff steam, study for hours on end and socialize as the creamy fragrance of lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates stream though the air. J.A.C., located at 708 Jackson Ave., may sound like an unusual place for a concert setting, but Dan Reible believes it is the perfect location for live music that has not been offered to Charleston in some time. “In the Charleston area there is no place to relax and listen to music except for a bar,” Reible said. “I’d like a place where people can come relax, have a cup of coffee, sandwich, bagel and take it easy and listen to some good acoustic music.” Reible and his wife Vicki are currently shuffling through papers in order to become the rightful owners of J.A.C.

Reible moved to Mattoon in 1984 after serving in the Navy and soon became a truck driver, traveling the nation with his wife. Reible has played for various bands in the past and mentioned to his friend, Ryan Dawson and the current owner of J.A.C., he was looking for a place to host weekly concerts on Saturday evenings. Dawson then asked Reible if he ever pictured himself owning a café. Reible expressed an interest, and soon, Dawson offered to sell the business. Dawson said the Reibles’ have been his customers since J.A.C. opened nearly eight years ago. “I planned on going back to school this summer to complete a degree in teacher’s certification,” Dawson said. “We were ready to move on to new things. I figured it is best not to run anything into the ground, so I offered to sell the place.” Dawson has high hopes for

cant moments, but boot camp completion is among one of his proudest accomplishments. “Graduation from boot camp is always a defining moment in a Marine’s life,” he said. “You feel proud that you made it and the other guy started and didn’t finish.” Barr said he credited research prior to boot camp in aiding his completion. While Barr said most of his fellow soldiers are also no longer in the Marine Corps, he said he still knows some that are still active. “The officers (still involved) are doing great things and having a good effect on the world,” he said. “I’m very proud of them.” Barr said on Veteran’s Day, he both commemorates and celebrates his time as a Marine by watching war movies and spending time reflecting on his time as a Marine. Barr said although he no longer sees his former Marines, he still stays in contact with them via Facebook and Internet communication. When Barr decided to leave the Marines, he said someone recommended him to join the Emergency Medical Technician. From there, he also decided to join the Charleston Fire Department. Barr currently works full-time as a firefighter and EMT for 15 years. While he is now currently mar-

Gracon said Le Tigre is a feminist electro punk band that uses its lyrics to comment on social issues. “The band is very politically and socially active,” Gracon said. “Their lyrics have a lot of social commentary about social gender, especially gender dynamics and sexuality.” Le Tigre used their music to comment on the control of men in society. “They confront sexism and homophobia in the music industry,” Gracon said. Gracon said he felt that this politically active feminist band was very significant. “Ideally, they will influence future generations,” Gracon said. “It’ll give women musicians something to look up to besides just male musicians. They are creating music from a female per-

spective.” Gracon said the film shows how the group fits into the male dominant music industry. He said after the movie, the panelists will discuss some of the themes in the movie, but the audience is allowed to ask questions for discussion. Gracon said the panel will discuss how the punk culture influence life, how Le Tigre challenged the sexual codes in punk culture, and implications of being a female band in a male dominant social sphere. The panel consists of: Gracon; Mimi Thi Nguyen, assistant professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Fiona Ngô, an assistant professor of Asian American Studies and Gender and Women’s Studies, at the

University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign; and Robert Martinez, an assistant professor of English at Eastern. The event is sponsored by the communication studies department, the University Board, Women’s Studies, the College of Arts and Humanities, and Eastern’s film studies minor. The event will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Lecture Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Gracon said this film is something that could interest any student. “I can’t guarantee that all students will be interested in it, but I think some students will be into it, especially those interested in music culture,” Gracon said.

SEMINAR

Students, community learn healthy cooking options By Emily Pellegrine Staff Reporter

KIMBERLY FOSTER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Senior management major Giana Pickett mashes potatoes Monday at Healthy Holiday Cooking 101 in Klehm Hall. Other dishes included green bean casserole and a strawberry pretzel salad. Another session will occur Monday Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. in room 2309 of Klehm Hall.

Students gathered anxiously to learn new cooking skills at the Healthy Holiday Cooking seminar Monday. Healthy Holiday Cooking 101 took place as part one of a two-week seminar. The group of nine students made three dishes: mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole and pretzel salad. Michael Kelly, nutrition educator from the Health Education Resource Center, instructed the seminar and said that they had a good turnout, but hopes for more students to attend next week. “I think the class definitely learned something from the class; we also had a culinary student in the class who helped out as well,” Kelly said. Each student who came received recipe cards and a healthy modification list with the nutrition facts listed for the original recipe and the modified recipe, Kelly said. Emily Wadsworth, a senior family and consumer sciences major, said she enjoyed the class because she was around other students who share the same interests in health and cooking. “The substitution list was helpful too, the class helped me develop my cooking skills because I learned that you can substitute butter for fat drippings and you will come out with a healthier recipe,” Wadsorth said. The green beans were also frozen and not canned, so there was a fresher taste to them, which made the green bean

casserole that much better, Wadsworth said. In the green bean casserole, the calories were reduced by 52 percent, the fat was reduced by 30 percent and the sodium was reduced by 61 percent. “I also really liked the mashed potatoes and gravy, I will definitely make that recipe at home,” Wadsworth said. Brittany Cole, a senior family and consumer sciences major, also has a culinary degree and said she liked the class because she got to help other students cook as well. “The substitutions are good for everyone to know because the original recipes are very high in calories,” Cole said. As for the taste difference, Cole said there was really no difference, everything tasted good enough to continue eating it. Jordan McDermott, a junior kinesiology major, said the class helped her develop cooking skills because she does not cook often at school. “The recipes are pretty easy to make and they didn’t take a lot of time. (It took) about 20 minutes, so I will definitely make some of them at home,” McDermott said. Lisa Techman, a senior family and consumer sciences major, said it was intriguing to compare the original recipes with the modified ones. “I never realized how many calories were in mashed potatoes and gravy. The modified version cut the calories almost in half,” Techman said. Techman said she is not normally a

big fan of mashed potatoes and gravy, but said that when she ate it with the green bean casserole. It tasted delicious. The students made mashed potatoes and gravy, and the calories were reduced by 56 percent. The fat was also reduced by 33 percent, cholesterol reduced by 31 percent and the sodium reduced by 62 percent. “The seminar would be helpful to people who are lacking cooking skills because it is taught step-by-step how to make the recipes,” Techman said. Using the recipe modification list for ingredients such as skim milk instead of heavy cream, smart balance butter instead of fat drippings and Splenda instead of white sugar, is something McDermott said she would refer to when making other recipes. In the pretzel salad, the calories were reduced by 62 percent, fat reduced by 62 percent, cholesterol reduced by 57 percent and sugar reduced by 39 percent. “I like to eat pretty healthy and I work with athletes so I can teach them some of these modifications and recipes and make sure they stay healthy,” McDermott said. Kelly said next week they will be making stuffing and assorted pies. The second part of Healthy Cooking 101 will take place on Nov. 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. Healthy Cooking 101 is free and is open to all students. Emily Pellegrine can be reached at 581-2812 or elpellegrine@eiu.edu.

These schools include:

Jefferson Elementary School, Treatment & Learning Center School in Humboldt, Mattoon Middle School, Windsor Middle School and Windsor High School. Kathryn Morice, the curator of education for the Tarble Arts Center, said this gives the community a chance to learn from a professional artist during the classes he gives. “It is basically a painting class, collage usage, and many of the techniques he uses in his works,” Morice said. “With the students, he will help them explore in the way of creating images inspired by his working method.” Fessler also has an exhibit in the eGallery in the Tarble Arts Center. His exhibit contains 14 paintings, some on canvas and others on drop cloths. Morice said Fessler has used his drop cloths as a painting. “He’s often taking material such as a drop cloth that he would be using in the studio and looking at the

random marks that are already on them and then responding to those marks, creates an image,” Morice said. Morice said Fessler is unique because he does not have an idea of a picture. “Whereas some artist have an idea of what the image is going to be before they even start, he’s open to looking at what is there and having it suggest what identity it might take as he creates the painting,” she said. Morice said Fessler was on the roster for the Illinois Arts Council. “That’s a pretty rigorous application process to be designated as one of the roster artists,” Morice said. “You know right there you have artists who have a significant record and exhibitions and teaching experience.” She said it is a way to be introduced to different teachings and styles. “They get exposed to new con-

STAFF EDITORIAL

Student Senate ‘In God We Trust’ one God-awful national motto serves itself, not students On Sept. 11, the Student Senate Speaker Zach Samples came to speak with the editorial board to address concerns we raised in an editorial. We had expressed dismay over statements made by Samples and other senators that seemed to suggest the Student Senate was committed to an agenda for the semester that would benefit very few people outside of the senate. Samples assured us this was not the case. After presenting a well-crafted PowerPoint presentation outlining the internal matters he sought to address, he was unable to come up with a single issue the senate would focus on that would serve its constituents. Still, we were only three weeks into the semester and he argued, fairly, that we ought to give them a little more time. Twelve weeks into the semester, we’ve seen next to nothing from the senate. At least one person familiar with the senate shares our concern. Alex Boyd, who served on the senator for four semesters, resigned Oct. 27 because the body is not performing its duties. As he told The DEN for an article Monday, “I felt like nothing was being accomplished to directly benefit students and too much time has been spent on fixing themselves (Student Senate), such as the Student Senate Oversight Committee.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. The senate has passed two resolutions this semester. The first was in support of a proposal to erect electronic billboards on campus. We were not altogether surprised the senate weighed in on the issue. For one thing, during our meeting with Samples, we offered it as an example of the kind of thing senators might take a stand on, since it will affect the lives of the students they represent. Also, their adviser, Dan Nadler, vice president for student affairs, proposed the plan. We were surprised by the inadequate amount of student feedback they gathered before passing the resolution and presenting it to city council on behalf of the students. As we argued in an Oct. 9 editorial “Student Senate uses bad poll to justify position,” we don’t think any poll of 121 respondents conducted on Facebook can provide an accurate reflection of student opinion. The other resolution approved “Senate on the road,” a plan to bring the senate closer to the students by conducting three meetings in residence halls, rather than in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. It’s a nice idea, but the first two meetings have not been well attended and have not led to any action. The senate has not had any new business in at least three weeks. We don’t write this because of any agenda against the senate, nor to prove our suspicions were justified. We believe in the value of having a the senate. We believe that students should elect their peers to speak on their behalf and give voice to their concerns. The senate isn’t doing that. They are ignoring the student body to focus on “internal matters” and add new sub-committees (and sub-subcommittees) to what is already an overly bureaucratic and convoluted hierarchy. A government of the students and by the students means little if it isn’t for the students. Step it up.

Opinions Editor Dave Balson

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

In their ongoing effort to prove they deserve a 9 percent approval rating, members of Congress voted 369-9 last week to reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the national motto. As anyone with eyes, ears and a short-term memory can attest, there are clearly more pressing issues Congress should address. Their efforts would be best spent affirming the validity of the American experiment by showing that representative democracy is in the best interests of the people. For example, creating jobs, regulating carbon emissions, fixing our immigration policy or establishing national Free Lollipop Day, would at least affect the lives of the people they represent. But, in lieu of effective legislation, reaffirming American values in troubling times is not an altogether terrible idea. The problem is that trust in God is not an American value. About 10 percent of Americans are non-believers and about 20 percent identify themselves as non-religious, according to Gallup. If a national motto is patently false for one out of five citizens, it’s probably not a very good one. It’s not even historically accurate. Most of the Founding Fathers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Ethan Allen, James Madison and James Monroe, were Deists. Deists believed a supreme being created the universe and its laws, then removed itself from the picture entirely. They believed that human rea-

Dave Balson son could solve the problems of man. They trusted in man, not God, and expressly set out to create a nation built on that belief. The first Assemblies would almost definitely have rejected “In God We Trust” as the national motto. It wasn’t established as the national motto until 1956, when a paranoid Congress decided it was necessary to distinguish Americans from the godless communists. Of course, this didn’t even make sense at the time. Though communist ideology is inherently secular, there is nothing about capitalism that is inherently religious. It wasn’t God they were fighting, it was capitalism and democracy, and the motto had nothing to say about either. We’d have pissed them off more by bringing back the words Benjamin Franklin put on the first penny in 1787: “Mind Your Business.” So what if we affirmed a new motto, one that truly reflects the American people and our ideals rather than reactionary fears from our past? Why not keep three quarters of the motto and

replace the word “God” with “Democracy” or “the People”? Better yet, what about “In Freedom We Trust”? We are founded in the freedoms iterated by the Bill of Rights. These criteria have been embraced by the Western world as the fundamental goals of a modern society. Unlike God, freedom is a concept every American can embrace. Unlike piety, freedom is a value we can all aspire to. It also reflects our message to the rest of the world. We are an interventionist nation and we defend our right to intervene because we hold freedom sacred, not God. In fact, oftentimes we intervene to protect people from the tyranny of zealots whose trust in God far outdoes our own. Nobody trusts in God like a suicide bomber. “In God We Trust” is such a backwards message to send to the world, especially to the Arab world, whose people have taken to the streets and risked their lives in pursuit of the same freedoms our founders sought. And what do we tell those who have thrown off the shackles of theocratic tyranny? What do we tell ourselves? We say that, in the moment when the world needs us to lead with the courage of our convictions, we are too encumbered by the delusional fears of our past. They look for a torchbearer and we’re still running from shadow puppets. Dave Balson is a senior journalism major. He can be reached at 581-7942 or DENopinions@gmail.com.

Herman Cain truly a self-made punch line

Recently, several conservative pundits have said the overwhelming criticism of Republican presidential frontrunner Herman Cainis because Cain is a conservative black man in America. They have suggested that liberals are, in fact, racist. Laura Ingraham said Democrats are trying to send “a black man who thinks for himself” to “the back of the bus.” Rush Limbaugh, always known for his cool-headed reasoning—not to mention racial sensitivity—called it a “racist hit job” and the launching of “an unconscionable, racial, stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant, conservative black.” These are just some of the myriad of comments coming from Fox News’ ever-accurate crack team of reporters. How quickly they forget which party elected the first black man to the presidency less than 60 years after the Civil Rights movement. His campaign ads are a joke. His campaign itself has been bizarre, as media figures have reported being unable to get in touch with anyone on his staff. He suggested setting up an electrified fence on the Mexican border, then took it back, then said it again in the span of one single press conference. Four women have made allegations of sexual harassment against Cain, and the first one has finally revealed her identity. Sharon Bialek stepped forward Monday to publicly accuse Cain of inappropriately touching her and attempting to coerce her into performing oral sex in exchange for a job. Bialek is the first to put a face to the allegations. All four women are under confidentiality agree-

Sarah Bigler ments that they signed when Cain financially settled their cases more than a decade ago. Not only is this is a quintessential accusation of sexual harassment; it’s a legal accusation of sexual assault. Here’s where Cain’s intelligence really shines. According to some Harvard experts, as reported by ABC News, Bialek was only able to step forward because Cain commented on the specifics of some of the cases in interviews early last week. He broke the confidentiality agreement, not Bialek, leaving her legally able to publicly comment without repercussions from Cain or his legal team. Then there’s the infamous quote given to David Brody of the Christian Broadcast Network. When asked if he was ready for the “gotcha questions, like, ‘Who is the president of Uzbekistan?’” Cain put on that now-ubiquitous smile. “When they ask me ‘Who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan?’ I’m going to say, you know, ‘I don’t know. Do you know?’” While Cain was being facetious, it’s worrying that he doesn’t seem to care that he might have to

know that particular man some day, or that smaller countries matter. Uzbekistan, in particular, might be one country the president should know about. Despite the fact that most Americans probably have never heard of it and couldn’t find it on a map if it was the only country labeled, it is a country our government should be keeping an eye on. Uzbekistan provided an air base in KarshiKanabad, on the border of Afghanistan, for the United States when we invaded that country in 2001, and then relations soured and they ordered us out in 2005. There is currently some hostility between our two governments. Do we really want a CEO running our country? The Occupy Movement is fighting against men just like him. He has serious allegations of misconduct against him and questionable ethics. He has no connection to the average American. He would only encourage the influence of big business and, worse, not know that it could be any different. He has admitted he knows very little about foreign relations and has spent just three months or so reading up on a subject other politicians and academics spend a lifetime trying to understand. No, liberals are not racist. Herman Cain is an easy punch line, but it’s not because he’s black. It’s because he’s ignorant, inexperienced, inappropriate and seems unwilling to fix any of those conditions. Sarah Bigler is a senior political science major.

CONCERT

Symphony performs concert for veterans By Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor

Eastern will commemorate U.S. veterans with music on Thursday. The Eastern Wind Symphony will present “Call to Duty: A Veterans Day Tribute” as a tribute to veterans. Alan Sullivan, interim director of bands, director of the Panther Marching Band and the Eastern Wind Symphony, said the band will be playing music that shows patriotism for the troops and veterans. “We are playing tunes that have an Americana feel to them,” Sullivan said. “We will play some tunes that were written for our veterans and some that are just basic patriotic tunes.” The Eastern Wind Symphony will be performing “The Star Spangled Banner.” The band will also play “American Overture for Band” by Joseph Willcox Jenkins. This composition was written for the United States Army Field Band 50 years ago. “This year marks its (the United States Army Field Band’s) 50th anniversary,” Sullivan said. “It’s a special time to be playing this selection.” They will be playing “Anthem” by Mark Camphouse, a composition written about the Iraq War. This composition is a mix of the new Iraq national anthem, the U.S. national anthem and some other original material. The band will also play a piece that is a salute for troops of D-Day on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France. “Lonely Beach Normandy 1944,” by James Charles Barnes will be played for these troops. “It is actually a tone poem that goes through how one soldier might have perceived the day, including his death,” Sullivan said. Sullivan said there will also be a slideshow presentation that goes along

with the composition. “We’ve put together a slidesshow together with pictures from D-Day,” Sullivan said. “So, it’ll be really emotional for the audience.” They will also play “Taps” in remembrance of all the troops that have lost their lives from the U.S. “America the Beautiful,” written by Katharine Lee Bates and composed by Samuel A. Ward, will also be played. “Chester” by William Billings will be played. This song was considered the theme song of the Revolutionary War, Sullivan said. The symphony will also play “Duty, Honor, Country” while a narrator reads a speech by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. During the “Armed Forces Salute” those who have served and their families will be asked to stand and be recognized for their service, Sullivan said. Sullivan said he wants to recognize both the veterans and their families because their families sacrifice too. “For example, my daughter-in-law hasn’t seen my son in a long time,” Sullivan said. “Since they’ve been married he has been deployed longer than they’ve been together.” “The Stars and Stripes” by John Philip Sousa will close the show. Sullivan said he thinks it is important to recognize the veterans. “The old saying goes ‘freedom isn’t free,’ and it’s not,” Sullivan said. “Our veterans and current military members are why we have the freedoms that we have in the United States. It’s important to recognize those that have given service to their country.” This event will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Dvorak Concert Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Admission is $5.

DIVAS, from page 1 Before the show began audience members were instructed by queen Ceduction, who hosted the EIU Pride event, to keep “arms, legs and other appendages away from the performers ” unless told otherwise. The divas performed to primarily Lady Gaga and Beyonce songs, and interacted with the audience members during each performance. Mark Hudson, the director of University Housing and Dining Services, was one of the audience members to be brought into the performance by Amaya M. Mann, who has participated in at least three Eastern drag shows. “This (was) my first time coming to this event and it was memorable and fun,” Hudson said. The event, which first took place on Dec. 1, 2003 as the Drag Queen Show, will be donating half of its proceeds to the Sexual Assault Counseling & Information Service. EIU Pride faculty adviser Terri Fredrick said the event raised approximately $1,200. EIU Pride vice president Nick Niemerg said he was glad that so many members of the Eastern community came to the event. “It’s great to see a lot of first timers really excited to experience their first drag show on campus,” Niemerg said. Jordan Garrett, a sophomore business management major, said she was glad she went to her first drag show. “I’m just going to say wow,” Garrett said. Garrett said the queens paired with the excitement of the audience made the event come to life. Amaya said she has been able to see the numbers grow and see a consistency in those attending the show. “The crowd gets better and better each year,” Amaya said.

Champaign-based drag queen Leiloni Stars performs as pop star Lady Gaga Monday during the ninth annual Diva Drag Show: Angels and Divas in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Dondre Keeler, a junior family and consumer sciences major, has been to three of the Diva Drag Shows and said he liked this year’s show the best. “Just the audience interaction really hyped up the performers,” Keeler said. “It was amazing—the best I’ve ever seen.” Sienna Mann said she performed at Eastern’s first drag show. “It’s always energetic on a college campus cause people genuinely just want to have fun,” Sienna said. Tyler Leasher, a 26-year-old Eastern graduate, said he has continued to attend the event several years after his graduation. “I came down to support the people I know,” Leasher said. Leasher said he was glad to see students enjoying the performances of his friends in the show. “At first they are kind of in shock, but as the night goes on they get more into it,” Leasher said.

Amaya said the organization of EIU Pride’s drag shows are different from the one’s she is used to performing. “A lot of drag shows have less girls and you have to keep moving, but this one was more (slow) paced,” Amaya said. Calexus Carrington also performed in Eastern’s first drag show and said being a queen is about confidence. “You only get one life why spend it worrying about what other people think,” Carrington said.

ENERGY, from page 1 In 2001, the Eastern coal power plant produced about 189 million pounds of carbon dioxide and in 2010, the Renewable Energy Center cut that amount to 155 million pounds, he said. “Because of the Renewable Energy Center, that number is predicted to be reduced by about 80 percent, which will leave us with about 31 million pounds of CO2,” Burton said. Moriah Ord, a freshman communication disorders and sciences major, spoke about the use of corn as energy and a biomass, and she said she was interested in the topic because her grandfather is a farmer and she could see her-

self pursuing the topic more in the future. Corn can be used to fuel cars, industries and farming machinery and will take the strain off of the decreasing amount of fossil fuels, she said. “It is interesting that the food that gives humans energy can also power machines and other technology,” Ord said. “From the growth and history of corn, to the current process of creating the crop into fuel and energy we can hope for future generations that they will have a brighter and greener world.” Katie VanHootegem, a freshman elementary education major, presented on

the green movement in schools, and Zac Call, a freshman Spanish major, spoke about green architecture. “Roughly 50 percent of carbon emissions originate from ordinary buildings,” Call said. “As college students, we spend the majority of our waking hours inside of these buildings without considering the massive carbon footprints that they create.” VanHootegem said students who go to environmentally green schools are 51 percent less likely to get the flu.

2 Panthers take home honors By Lenny Arquilla & Dominic Renzetti Staff Reporter & Sports Editor

In Friday’s win against Tennessee Tech, junior Emily Franklin nailed 20 kills and 11 digs and earned 24 kills and 15 digs Saturday as she recorded consecutive kill-dig double-doubles for the weekend marking her at five. Fellow junior Alison Berens had eight kills and three digs Friday while sophomore Reynae Hutchinson had 14 kills and 11 digs with her 16th career kill-dig double-double and her 13th this season on Saturday. Senior Chrissie Albers and sophomore Stephanie Arnold took home Ohio Valley Conference honors following their performances this past weekend. Albers finished with 160 assists, enough to earn her OVC Co-Setter of the week. Arnold, who took home OVC Defensive Player of the week, finished with 21 blocks. “I am very proud of both Chris and Steph, but it’s important to remember that these accomplishments are impossible without the help of their teammates,” head coach Kate Price said in a press release. “Although individual awards are always nice, I would prefer to focus on winning important matches.” Around the OVC Morehead State sweeps the visiting Murray State (25-17, 25-12, 25-23) on Senior Day. Morehead State improves to 22-6 overall and upped their conference mark to 17-1 and Murray State dipped to 8-21 and 8-10 in the league.

Junior outside hitter Emily Franklin spikes the ball past two Tennessee Tech blockers Friday during the Panthers’ sweep of the Golden Eagles in Lantz Fieldhouse.

Red-shirt sophomore Aryn Bohannon had 11 kills, red-shirt freshman Laura McDermott notched nine kills, and junior Annie Gruenschlaeger picked up five blocks and moved into third place in block assists at Morehead State with 276. Murray State was led by Mary Cunningham with 10 kills, but the team was held to a .075 team hitting percentage. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville swept Tennessee Tech in Ohio Valley Conference (28-26, 25-13, 25-18) play Saturday. Junior outside hitter Brooke Smith recorded a team-high 11 kills as Southern Illinois-Edwardsville improves to 12-18 overall and 7-11 in the OVC while Tennessee Tech dropped to 4-24 overall and 3-15 in the OVC.

TOURNAMENT, from page 8 The second match will feature Oakland against Western Illinois, which enters the tournament as the top team. The Leathernecks hold an overall record of 11-6-1, with a 4 - 2 - 0 re c o rd i n t h e Su m m i t

League. Oakland is 6-11-1 overall, while 3-3-0 in conference. Dominic Renzetti can be reached at 581-7942 or dcrenzetti@eiu.edu.

PERFECT, from page 8 The try was assisted by senior flyhalf Tina Crema. Junior flanker Stefanie Mahan, sophomore wing Cara Hahne, Doyle and Williams each found the back of the end zone in the second half. “We really focused this week on trying to put a full game together,” Eastern head coach Frank Graziano said. “From an offensive and defensive standpoint this was our best game of the season.” Team captain, Ramirez, capped off Senior Day with a try of her own in the final minutes of action. “Every decade a coach gets someone special like Narissa Ramirez. She is the emotional and inspirational leader, and if I need something done I just go to her and she

takes care of it,” Graziano said. “I don’t know if you can replace a kind of player like her.” Doyle led all players with 31 total points. Williams and Hahne each recorded 10 points in the win. With the win, the Panthers move to 9-0 on the season and are just one win away from recording a perfect season. The Panthers will be back in action this Saturday when they host Big Ten opponent, Purdue. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. at Lakeside Field. Jordan Pottorff can be reached at 581-7942 or jbpottorff@eiu.edu.

Although Southern Illinois-Edwardsville found itself down 10-4 early, it battled back to 15 a piece before Tennessee Tech would regain a four-point lead after a kill at 21-17 by Natalie Penrod, who finished with 10 kills. The Cougars, however, buckled down and won the set and did not let go of that momentum as they took the next two sets for the win. In the second set at 22-22, the two teams traded points up to 26-26 until Southern Illinois-Edwardville would win on a kill by Julia Whitfield.

Loss heartbreaking for soccer seniors Eastern women’s soccer had its season end in the most heartbreaking of fashions last week, falling 2-1 to Tennessee-Martin after going into halftime with a 1-0 lead. The Panthers came out in the second half after controlling the tempo in the first, and they looked like an unchanged team, which most teams are bound to do when they’re ahead at the break. Tennessee-Martin, however, made a major adjustment to the Panthers’ style of play, taking control and keeping Eastern on its heels for the vast majority of the half. It was this kind of adjustment that led to TennesseeMartin going on to win the entire OVC tournament over the weekend. The Skyhawks’ victory over Eastern was just the first step, and they went on to stomp Eastern Kentucky 4-0 and came from behind to beat Morehead State 2-1 much the same way they beat Eastern en route to a tournament win and a bid in the NCAA tournament. A loss to the eventual champions may soften the blow, but as far as the Panthers are concerned, they still believe they could have and, by all rights, probably should have won that match with the Skyhawks and advanced to face Eastern Kentucky in the semi-finals. More than anyone, though, this loss has got to be crushing the team’s seniors. In particular, to have come so close to advancing and overcome so many obstacles throughout their Pan-

Brad Kupiec ther careers, only to see it all slip away in 45 minutes of soccer on a cold, rainy field in Missouri. Sure, the team will go right back to the drawing board and look at how they can make next year’s team better, faster, stronger, more consistent, etc. But how much can they really do in the way of more preparation and training? Aren’t they already going at full capacity? Don’t they already do as much as they can? If the answer to that last question is “no,” then why not? If you’re committing yourself to something like a collegiate soccer team, why wouldn’t you commit yourself 110 percent to making it the best you can, on every level? That only leaves it to the chance that the other teams will lose more than the Panthers in the way of senior contributions, and that they have fewercoming in as far as recruiting classes. If those things pan out, great. If not, does that mean the Panthers will be looking at another season like this one? Only time will tell. Brad Kupiec can be reached at 581-7944 or bmkupiec@eiu.edu.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: After an exhibition win on Sunday, men’s basketball will open the regular season Friday at Indiana State.

Doss ready for season Panthers win exhibition game By Rob Mortell Staff Reporter

Senior guard L.C. Doss showed off his offensive skill set against Olivet Nazarene Sunday, scoring 13 points and finishing 5-7 on shooting. Doss missed 10 games last season because of injury. He averaged 4.6 points in 21 minutes of action. Doss said he concentrated on getting completely healthy during this off-season. “I just tried to get my legs back under me,” Doss said. Doss scored 13 points against Olivet Nazarene and showed he could do a little bit of everything on the offensive side of the ball. He shot 5-7 from the field including 1-3 from beyond the threepoint arc. He also was 2-2 from the free-throw line. Doss said he played pretty well, but had a few mental lapses on defense that need to be cleaned up. He said he thinks he could provide the Panthers with an offensive spark for the season.

the first half against Olivet Nazarene to open up a 19-point lead and never looked back. The run started with two free throws by freshman guard Austin Akers with 7:44 remaining in the half. Red-shirt junior forward James Hollowell quickly added a fastbreak dunk and the run finished with a fast-break lay-up by senior guard Jeremy Granger. Eastern would go on 16-2 run in the second half to open up a 28-point lead. The closest the Tigers would come from that point on was 24 points. Miller pleased with efforts in exhibition game Head coach Mike Miller said he was happy with how the team preformed against Olivet Nazarene. The two teams played in 2009 and Eastern snuck past with a twopoint victory; however, this result was the same, but done in a more convincing fashion. The Panthers won the game 7848. “We had a good energy,” Miller said. “We used a lot of people and

I thought we had a chance to see what different guys can do and what they bring to the table.” Eastern played five of its seven new players and every player was able to score. The group of five combined for 31 points. Freshman forward Josh Piper led the newcomers with nine points and six rebounds. Miller said the team needs to improve on its post defense and rebounding before the start of the season on Friday against Indiana State. “I want to see our team get better,” Miller said. “Guys are going to be able to play to their strengths, we have not set limits for how good we can be, we just want to keep moving forward.” Rob Mortell can be reached at 581-7944 or rdmortell@eiu.edu.

Panthers to miss Season still perfect for team One game remains tournament on schedule By Dominic Renzetti Sports Editor

The Eastern men’s soccer team closed out its 2011 season on the road with a 2-1 loss on the road against Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne. The loss has the Panthers finishing with an overall record of 7-9-1 and a record of 1-4-1 in the Summit League. Panthers out-shoot, still come up short The Panthers took a total of 20 shots in the game, out-shooting the Mastodons 20-8, but only one of those shots was able to find the back of the net for Eastern. Eastern also out-shot IPFW in shots on goal, 11-3. The Panthers also took more second half shots, holding the 12-3 advantage. As a team, the Panthers average 13.71 shots per game, which ranks third in the Summit League. The Mastodons, however, average 12.11 shots per game, despite playing in two more matches than the Panthers. The Mastodons rank fourth in the Summit League, one spot behind the Panthers. The Panthers also managed more corner kicks than the Mastodons, totaling six to only one for IPFW. Team unable to stop top national player Senior Max Touloute of IPFW

ranks among the nation’s best in points per game, goals per game and assists per game. He had one goal in the game against the Panthers and is the conference leader in shots, shots per game, points, points per game, goals, goals per game, assists and assists per game. His 33 points this season are the most by any Summit League player since the 1996 season. Touloute has been named Summit League Offensive Player of the Week a conference record four time this season. He is this week’s conference offensive player of the week, as well. Around the Summit League Freshman defender Matt DeLeon of Oakland was named Summit League Defender of the Week for his performance in the Golden Grizzlies’ 2-0 win over IUPUI. The shutout win, the third of the season for Oakland, helped boost the team into the post-season tournament. The Summit League tournament will begin on Friday, with Oral Roberts facing IPFW, which is making its first appearance in the tournament in school history. Oral Roberts has an overall record of 6-10-1, while also a conference record of 3-2-1. IPFW holds a record of 8-9-2 overall, while also holding a conference record of 3-2-1. TOURNAMENT, page 7

The premier team in NCAA Division I women’s rugby remains undefeated following the 66-3 Senior Day win against the Quinnipiac Bobcats. The Panthers have now started the season 9-0 for the third time in the last four seasons. Eastern and the Quinnipiac Bobcats met on the rugby pitch for the finale of the three-game season series. Junior center Lauren Doyle continued her offensive outburst, as she got the Panthers offensive attack going early on, recording an unassisted five-point try in the second minute of play. The Panthers were at it again in the 17th minute when junior wing Kayla Heal raced downfield to record a five-point try of her own. The try was assisted by senior scrum-half Narissa Ramirez. Eastern continued to pile it on as Doyle recorded her second try of the afternoon in the 28th minute of play, to making the score 17-0. The try was assisted by freshman flyhalf Carissa Burge. The offensive onslaught continued just eight minutes later as freshman center Nia Williams finished off an impressive run that had her breaking multiple tackles before finishing the job with a five-point try of her own. Doyle capped off an impressive first-half performance with her
