Candidates await UPD police chief decision By Cassie Buchman News Editor | @cjbuchman A new police chief is set to be announced soon, after three days of interviewing candidates last week. Candidates were on campus, eating two meals, one with students and one with Lynette Drake, interim associate vice president of student affairs. Heather Webb, director of student standards, said they have met with the President’s Council and the search committee as well. The search committee’s feedback will be used when Drake makes her final decision on whom to appoint. Webb said the new police chief will be announced after the first day of classes. The first day of interviews started with the current interim police chief Kent Martin. At an open session where faculty, students, and staff could interview the candidates, Martin talked about his experience, and the connections he has made at Eastern. “I don’t pretend to know all the answers, but I have a great network of people I can call and people I can go to get the answer,” Martin said. He added that it should be a “seamless transition” into the new job because he has already had the responsibilities of a police chief during his time as an interim in the position. During his interview, Martin addressed how he plans to reach out to members of the Eastern community, and bridge the gap between Eastern and the Charleston communities. Martin said he has different outreach programs in mind to connect with Eastern’s community. These events include a “Coffee with the Cops” event on Wednesday, Aug. 31, which Martin hopes it will be the first of many icebreakers. “The police department has kind of become isolated from the rest of the campus in the last few years,” he said. “I want to get us back out there. The way to do that is to talk to people.” Martin also expressed interest in having officers meeting with Registered Student Organizations. “Tell us what you’re thinking, what’s on your mind, what’s your concerns?” he said. Martin said he always thought the UPD could work with the Charleston Police Department on outreach events they hold.

Faculty Laureate speaks about perseverance By Sam Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_News Even though Richard Jones became faculty laureate because of his work in the communication studies department, he originally started out in a different major in college. Jones, now a communication studies professor, started his own college career as a music major before switching. He realized he wanted to switch majors while taking an interpersonal communication class at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. Now, Jones is the communication department’s basic course director. His job is to supervise all introduction to speech classes. Jones also teaches interpersonal communication and communication theory, among other courses. Jones said he was excited to receive the award. “It is one of the biggest awards faculty can
receive. It is just really nice to be recognized,” Jones said. “The other people who have won the awards over the years have been great teachers who have definitely had a big impact so it is nice to be counted among them.” To become faculty laureate, a professor must go through a selection process spearheaded by a committee. The committee is made up of members of the Council on Academic Affairs, plus three student members who are appointed as well. A professor has to be a tenured faculty member who has a good record teaching general education courses to meet the criteria for getting the faculty laureate position. Seven professors were nominated in total this year. Debra Reid, a history professor who was on the committee that chose Jones, said he was chosen because of the extra work he does. Reid said Jones’ responsibilities mainly include speaking at Convocation, though some
faculty laureates use their position to advance general education classes for the campus. To be nominated, a professor needs to collect all of their evaluation reports from the past three years, get letters of recommendation from at least one student and one peer and write their own letter. Austin Mejdrich, a senior political science major, wrote the student letter of recommendation for Jones. Mejdrich had Jones in his intro to speech communication class but also knew him from theater programs. “I did a community theater production my first year here, and he directed the show. So I have gotten to know him on a professional, student-to-professor basis as well as on a personal level,” Mejdrich said. Mejdrich said Jones is one of his favorite professors at Eastern. He said Jones has a passion in
what he is teaching and tries to keep things fresh for students to help them succeed. Jones asked Mejdrich to write the letter of recommendation because of the relationship they had built through class. “He had reached out to me and asked me to write him a letter and I don’t think I could have been faster to agree,” Mejdrich said. Mejdrich said Jones embodies what Eastern looks for in a professor and how teaching in the classroom should be. The biggest thing he took away from Jones’s class was how to think critically, Mejdrich said, which is important regardless of career choice. At Convocation, where Jones addressed incoming freshmen students, he talked about how students tend to struggle during their first few semesters of college. Laureate, page 5

Pantherpalooza to showcase RSOs By Olivia Swenson-Hultz Assistant Photo Editor | @DEN_news Finding where you belong in a college setting can be unsettling to students, but Pantherpalooza helps bring the different Registered Student Organizations together. For over 15 years Eastern has consistently provided students a chance to explore different organizations
students can get involved in. Booths will be spread across the South Quad, so students can learn more about what each RSO has to offer. Student Government vice president for student affairs Derek Pierce said Pantherpalooza has been a showcase for RSOs for over a decade. “It’s a great networking tool for like-minded individuals,” Pierce
said. Hailey Tellier, student speaker of the senate, said it also gives RSOs a chance to recruit students and promote themselves. “Pantherpalooza runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., which is long enough that everybody has an opportunity to get out there,” Tellier said. “The entire place is packed.” According to Student Body Presi-
dent Catie Witt, there were over 100 groups last year. “New students can see organizations that can meet their interests,” Tellier said. “It’s really great for new students to be able to know what they can get involved in.” Olivia Swenson-Hultz can be reached at 581-2812 or omswensonhultz@eiu.edu.
Tampa comedian visiting Eastern campus By Janet Pernell Multicultural reporter | @DEN_news Ester Steinberg, one of the most popular stand-up comedians in New York, is making her way to Eastern’s campus 7 p.m. Friday. Steinberg will be featured in the first comedy show of the semester in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Comedy shows, which are hosted by the University Board once a month, will be free and open to the public. According to the comedian’s website, Steinberg went to high school in Tampa, Fla., where she started her
comedy acts during her lunch breaks on the tables. Steinberg went to New York University’s Tisch School of Arts to prepare for a future as a comedian. The comedian has been featured and starred on television networks like Oxygen for the show “Funny Girls.” She is currently working on a production called “Smoking Whitefish,” a dark comedy to be featured on ABC. Her “Kibitz Room Comedy Show,” which gained popularity at Canter’s Deli in Los Angeles, Cal., was featured on the blog Time Out LA. Also,
the 2015 “Just for Laughs” festival in Montreal included Steinberg in a list of new faces to comedy. Popcorn, popcorn chicken, beverages and prizes will be available during the show. Nia Douglas, the comedy coordinator for the UB, said the board likes to keep things diverse so that they can attract all types of people and students on campus. “Let’s bring a woman, they’re funny too,” Douglas said The show is meant to help students socialize and have a positive college experience, Douglas said. “A lot of our freshman that have
come are not very social,” Douglas said. “In order to have a great college experience, they need to actually go out there and enjoy themselves and meet new people.” Douglas said her goals for the show are to give people an idea on who the UB is as well as help students socialize and bond over the comedy and free food. “What’s a better way than sitting next to someone and laughing about a joke,” Douglas said. “Funny things bring people together all the time.” Janet Pernell can be reached at 581-2812 or jopernell@eiu.edu.

Community Theater holds ‘Queen of Bingo’ auditions By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News From the stage to the director’s chair, DQ Grill and Chill owner, Scott Brooks, 62, has taken on yet another production for the Charleston Community Theater. Brooks will direct this season’s production of “The Queen of Bingo,” and auditions will be open to the public. Brooks directed two other shows with Charleston Community Theater before this season; those
shows being the 2012 production of “Hallelujah Girls” and 2013 radioplay performance of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” He was also one of the only male roles in the company’s female rendition of “The Odd Couple.” “This is kind of a unique situation…the board picked the show and had asked me to direct,” Brooks said. “I remember reading the full script about four to five years ago, but I didn’t remember much about it...I knew it was a comedy, so I went ahead and said ‘yes.’” “The Queen of Bingo” is a show
about two sisters in their 50s out on the evening at a bingo hall. The two women exchange gossip, discuss the happenings in their life, and carry the show from start to finish. The play takes place the evening at a Catholic school, and follows the two women on their path to bingo-victory. The lead roles consist of Babe and Sis, with the male supporting role of Father Francis McKenzie Muldoon, who is the assistant pastor at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in the show. Sis is a widowed woman who genuinely enjoys playing bingo
with her sister. Babe is a little more competitive and eager to win on their big night out. This comedy was performed on both a community and professional level. The professional traveling show traditionally has two men casted as the two lead female roles, with supporting actors. Brooks said the script was originally written to have two women play the leads, but he is opening the roles for men to audition, as well. The Charleston Community Theater will be holding auditions for
their upcoming production of “The Queen of Bingo” at 6 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Auditions will be in the lower level of the Charleston Carnegie Library. Performances will be at the Tarble Arts Center on Oct. 7 through Oct. 9 and Oct. 13 through Oct. 15. Angelica Cataldo can be reached at 581-2812 or amcataldo@eiu.edu

The End of an Era
Analicia Haynes
Strive to get the most out of your time at Eastern Youth is a wonderful and exciting time for many of us. The opportunities, knowledge and time seem never ending. We can eat what we want, drink what we want, act and talk how we want (bearing the consequences of course), but most importantly we can learn whatever we want when we want to. We have the world at our fingertips and yet time and time again we let the ignorance and stubbornness of youth get in the way of experiencing the wonders that endless amount of knowledge can give. Believe it or not, we do not know everything. This is the best time to be in that position because we are given the opportunity to make up for that lack of knowledge. We can learn what our elders know and we can obtain the wisdom that we crave we have if we just make the most of our college experience. College is tough. I can vouch for that, and I am sure most of my peers can as well. It is easy to skip class because of being too tired and then to cram half a semester’s worth of material in on one night of studying. But why waste the time worrying about what you missed and wondering how much better you could have done? Go to class. Not just because you or your parents dished out hundreds of dollars for the courses, but because there are people our age half way around the world who do not have the option of going to school and receiving an out-of-this-world education. Imagine for a moment the overwhelming amount of what you can learn, things that you thought were never even possible. Study for fifteen minutes one night and 20 minutes the next and before you know it you never have to cram the night before a big exam because you already know the material. But do not just stop there. Get involved with a registered student organization or start one. Make a name for yourself on campus. Volunteer as much as you can because you can help make a difference. Don’t let yourself live a sheltered life. For far too long we have left ourselves vulnerable to ridicule from older generations because we are “too lazy” or “incompetent” to make it in the real world. Prove everyone wrong, including yourself, and make the most of this year. Just be sure to have a little fun along the way. Analicia Haynes is a sophomore journalism major.

Represent your school tactfully, gracefully Staff Editorial
Knowing how to act in public is a trait that many of us should already have embedded in our systems. Being reminded of it as young adults seems almost juvenile considering that most of us have had our parents indoctrinate us with this trait since exiting the womb. However, it seems as though tactfulness and classiness have fallen out of style and therefore are easily forgotten. But why should we possess these tactful and overall professional traits? Some people don’t care about their behavior or actions in public, which is fine. You should be able to express yourself vividly. But what we do not realize is that it is not so much about representing yourself; rather, it’s more about whom you represent. The staff at the Daily Eastern News feel that
as another year starts back up we, as students of Eastern, should remember to act accordingly in public. Not only do we represent our school, but we also represent our parents and the towns we spent our childhoods in. It is incredibly embarrassing when one of our peers stumbles out of Marty’s on a Friday night and vomits all over someone’s front lawn. But it is not just public intoxication that makes the school look bad. Fighting, thievery, blasting music at three in the morning or leaving empty bottles scattered all over the front lawn: these are all examples of how not to represent this school. Sure, you make yourself look bad, but imagine what others think about Eastern as a result
of your nutty behavior. Eastern is an accredited institution with an incredible turnout, but when students act in a manner that makes locals feel angry or unsafe, then everything the students worked for is irrelevant. We are not necessarily saying that students cannot have any more fun and that your bar crawling, drinking, party raging days are over. What we recommend is that you act within reason. It is alright to go out, but know your limit. You will avoid making a complete fool of yourself and our school in front of Charleston residents. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Guest Column
Find outfits that fit your lifestyle, schedule As we begin our fall semester at Eastern, it is well known that our school, and the whole world for that matter, have many troubles afoot. However, I would like to take your mind off of these issues by talking about something that even among the turmoil, almost every person has thought about at least once: what are you going to wear during the first week of school? Not a very pressing issue, true, but an issue none the less. One could go the way that I used to go, which was dressing to impress on the very first day. The pros to this are that you feel great, you give off the vibe of being put together and you may catch the eyes of some suitors. Cons to this option are that you actually have to take the time necessary to put an effort into your appearance and you turn your room into a disaster zone trying to pick out the perfect outfit. Then you worry about whether or not the patriarchy is the reason you feel the need to look nice, and no one wants to do it for the patriarchy, you want to do this for yourself. If you are this person that chooses this route, you may have also told yourself that you would dress to impress every day, and swear that you would not touch that legging and t-shirt combination that are so comfortable.
However, if you are anything like me, those comfy clothes would come out a lot sooner than you would think, which brings us to the other choice of clothing for those first days back. One could completely overlook the “dress to impress,” phase and accept the inevitable. Admit it, everyone has come across that one day where they either slept through their alarm, or simply chose to sleep and had to pull out a last resort outfit so they would not be late for class. This outfit tends to consist of some sort of yoga pant or sweat pant and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. If you are really running late, you may just go to class in your pajamas. The pros to this choice are that you are super comfy, sleeping in is amazing and you can run to the gym right after class if you choose to do so. The cons to this are that people will constantly tell you that you look tired, you may actually feel more tired and you might smell a little bit because you grabbed a t-shirt that kind of smells and you wonder if anyone else can smell you. Commence putting on an insane amount of perfume in between classes. While every person will choose what suits their personality best, I did find one other option that really works. It falls in the middle of both of these
options and it is called practicality. Look ahead at your schedule for the week and figure out what you need to wear in order to make your day flow by seamlessly. For example, if you have decided you want to get into the gym 3 days during the week, then choose a time that works best with your schedule. If this time happens to fall after one of your classes, then it may not be that practical to take the time to look amazing for that class when you will be ruining your hard work an hour later. Instead, you can dress for the gym and then plan to look nice for the rest of your classes that come afterwards. If you are going to the gym after all of your classes, you can decide whether or not you want to look nice all day, or if you would rather be more comfortable for a long day coming. Regardless, the goal should be to find a flow that works for you so that you can ensure that not just your first week, but your whole semester goes by smoothly. Welcome back everyone! Happy outfit hunting! Alex Bonnot, senior English language arts major

CONTINUED FROM PAGE1 “They could start seeing us as people who just happen to be police officers instead of seeing us as police officers,” he said. Peter Buckley, another candidate who is currently a special investigator who conducts background checks on applicants to the FBI and other U.S. Department of Justice employers, also spoke about outreach programs. As a new police chief, Buckley said he would be “foolish” to change anything immediately. “I’d like to take a look at what’s going on now,” Buckley said. “I’d like to see what’s working and what’s not working.” He was intrigued by programs such as ‘Coffee with the Cops,’ and having officers go to residence halls and other areas to teach students how to be safer with their property, alcohol abuse talks, and rape prevention programs. “I’m kind of a wait and see kind of guy with things like that,” he said. In Buckley’s session, he emphasized the importance of training. To make connections with the city, Buckley said he would meet with city officials such as the mayor. In the
community, he said he wants to touch base with sororities and fraternities, faculty, residence halls, academic departments and others to see what they need. Dennis Franks, the last candidate interviewed, spoke about building a presence on campus. If chosen, he plans to assess programs already in place instead of changing systems right away. “If it’s not broken, it doesn’t need to be fixed,” Franks said. In Franks’ opinion, the police chief of any department should be the most visible person in the department. “I try to have very visible presence on campus,” he said. To increase this visibility, he mentioned using social media to check what people are talking about. It is with these solid interactions, he said, that officers can create positive relationships. In five years, Franks said he sees himself still working at Eastern should he get the position. He said he does not want to be the person who jumps around from position to position.
Stefan Eckert, a music professor on the search committee, said he was looking for someone who continued the relationship between the Charleston Police Department and the UPD. “Get rid of that kind of town-andgown separation,” he said. JaLisa Smith, a graduate assistant who works for the UPD, said she wanted to see more community policing from the UPD. “I am a student who is a minority and I am a leader on campus, I’m very involved, so in my opinion there could be more done in the community policing side,” Smith said. “Some groups see the police, some don’t.” K’lynn Robinson, a senior psychology major, said as a student, she wants the new police chief to be someone who is respectful and unbiased. She added that it would be important to watch the way his officers interact with people on campus. “I kind of want them to be strict, (but) fair,” Robinson said. Cyle Smith Colbert, a senior communication studies major, said he wanted a police chief who is con-
cerned primarily with student’s welfare and safety. He said it would be nice to see them more involved with the community and university. “Every once in a while, walk down and around campus,” Smith Colbert said. Cassie Buchman can be reached at 581-2812 or cjbuchman@eiu.edu.

7 Panthers anticipating improved 2016 season
TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2016
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS
By Tyler McCluskey and Phil Delma Women’s Soccer Reporters | @DEN_Sports With the women’s soccer season kicking off, the director of soccer, Kiki Lara is hoping to improve upon last years 4-13-2 record. Eastern lost their two leading goal scorers from last year, Hannah Miller with five goals and Molly Hawkins with seven, but the team added new freshmen and wants them to add to the culture of the team. “The main thing is that we want players to come in with the mentality that they are willing to serve the program and give the program everything,” Lara said. “We expect them to be phenomenal student-athletes (on) day one.” Lara added that the freshman on the team have fit well to the ideals of what he expects out of his players on and off the field. But with the loss of Miller and Hawkins, Lara said he wants to input a consistent style of play. “We want every position to think how we can influence the attack and we want them to think how can we influence the defending side of things,” Lara said. “We mostly want them to anticipate each of those before they happen.” One freshman, goalkeeper Sara Teteak, started both games so far for the Panthers and has faced 18 shots on

goal and has saved 15 of those for a save percentage of 83. Sophomore goalkeeper Maddie Lyon had 129 saves and a save percentage of 79.6 last season for the Panthers. “The goalies right now are all competing, they all have strengths and weaknesses, weaknesses and strengths. They all match each other,” Lara said.
“So we’re trying to figure out what’s the best combination of players. I don’t think we figured it out yet, not just in the goalkeeper position, but in any position. It’s a new team.” Over the course of the season, Lara will have to decide on which team to travel with for some of the games. He said that his staff was good enough

Volleyball team riding on newcomers By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports After five graduates and one transfer, the Eastern volleyball team has just seven Panthers returning from last season. With that being said, the Panthers are entering this new campaign with six new faces from all across the country, and will be expected to compete right away according to Eastern coach Sam Wolinski. “On Friday, some of those girls are going to be stepping onto the court for the first time in a collegiate setting,” Wolinski said. “It’s important for Coach Green and I to maintain that positive disposition with them.” Katie Sommer, Morgan Matusik, Lindsey Powers, Alissa Danosky and Maggie Runge are the five freshman filling out some key positions on the roster. Joining that recruiting class is junior Hayley Richardson, who transferred from Jefferson College in Missouri. These newcomers are all coming from different parts of the country with only one, Danosky, from Illinois, as she was recruited out of Batavia High School. Regardless of where they came from, these new Panthers are being placed in crucial roles on the team. Sommer comes in as a right outside hitter, and comes with some accomplishments already under her belt. Sommer was named “MiddleBlocker of the Year” as a junior at Boswell High School in Fort Worth, Texas, as well as being named to First-Team All-District during her senior season. Matusik certainly brings some versatility to the Panthers as she was a three-sport athlete at her high

school in Chelsea, Michigan. As a member of the track and softball team, Matusik led her high school volleyball team to a conference championship title in 2014 and 2015. As she led her team to success throughout her career at Chelsea High School, Matusik was named to the All-Conference team as well as an honorable mention for the AllState team. Powers comes in as the new Libero of the Panthers, and is coming in with a storied high school career.
Throughout her high school career, Powers was named to the AllState, All-Area and All-Conference teams twice while also appearing in all-star games during her final two seasons. Runge will be expected to provide some help in the middle with her blocking abilities. Runge led her high school team in kill efficiency and blocks as a senior while also participating in the Iowa vs. Illinois All-Star game. While those five freshman establish themselves, the Panthers
will also receive the talents of Gina Furlin. Furlin comes into this season as a redshirt freshman after sitting out last season and gaining another year of eligibility. Furlin will be expected to fill the role as a setter on the team, and comes in as a high school record setter. She once set a single-match school record with 52 assists in one game leading to a single-season school record of 988 total assists. The Panthers will hope to see
more of the same from here at Eastern as the team lost two of its setters from a year ago. These newcomers will all take the court Friday as the Panthers open the season with a tournament in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Following the weekend tournament, Eastern will return to Lantz Arena Aug. 30 for its home opener against Butler. Maher Kawash can be reached at 581-2812 or mwkawash@eiu.edu.
Garoppolo, Grugier-Hill gear up for season with Patriots By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports When the New England Patriots regular season gets underway, former Eastern quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will head the offense after Tom Brady was suspended for the first four games of the season. While Garoppolo mans the starting job at quarterback, former Eastern linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill may crack New England’s roster. Both players have seen playing time in the first two preseason games. Grugier-Hill may not have a starting position locked up, but he has made his presence known through the first two games of the preseason recording six total tackles. The former Eastern linebacker also may see time on special teams throughout the season. The Patriots have won both preseason games including a 34-22 win over the New Orleans Saints Aug. 11. In the game, Grugier-Hill was responsible for dropping back into coverage, like he had done while at Eastern. Grugier-Hill was also responsible for calling the huddles on defense and relaying the plays, according to Boston.com. “I like that role,” Grugier-Hill said in the article. “We’ve obviously got to hit the film and practice tomorrow and get better. The only thing we can do is work on commu-

I love my position I’m in. I love where I am in the defense.” In his final season at Eastern in 2015, Grugier-Hill racked up 70
tackles in 10 games played, including 45 unassisted. He also recorded 6.5 sacks for a total of 42 yards. Jimmy Garoppolo was supposed to be the Patriots’ starter last season for the first four games, but Brady’s suspension was lifted. But the sus-
pension was brought back on Brady, giving Garoppolo the reins of the offense for the first-four games. Garoppolo, who was apart of the Patriots’ Super Bowl team in 2014, has seen a majority of the action in the first two games, and has helped New England to back-to-back wins. In his latest game, Garoppolo went 16-21 with one touchdown and 181 passing yards in his one half of playing time against the
Chicago Bears. Chicago got out to an 11-0 lead after the first quarter, but Garoppolo marched the Patriots down the field in the second quarter and put up 17 points. The Patriots trailed 11-9 with 17 seconds left in the half when Garoppolo threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to AJ Derby, and then converted on the two-point conversion on a pass to Chris Hogan. “It was still not our best start,” Garoppolo said in a press conference following the win over the Bears. “We started with another three-and-out, which is never good. But after that I think we got into a nice rhythm offensively.” Garoppolo and Grugier-Hill and the Patriots have two more preseason games left before the regular season starts. They will take on the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants. New England opens the regular season on the road in Arizona to take on the Cardinals before playing three-straight games at home against the Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills. For Garoppolo, those are the games he has predicted to start before Brady returns, and for GrugierHill, the future may be bright. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.
