“TELL THE TRUTH AND DON’T BE AFRAID”
Comedian to perform at 2014 Family Weekend By Samantha Middendorf Entertainment Editor | @Samantha_EE
CHYNNA MILLER | DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Marvin Collins, a senior pre-medicine major, and Jerome Montgomery, a senior pre-medicine major, represent their fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., by stepping Friday during the Yard Show on the steps of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
Step show brings minority awareness By: Roberto Hodge Multicultural editor | @BertoHodge Red and nude toned lace panties rained down from the Doudna steps as the women cheered on the “pretty boys” of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity’s cane stepping routine Friday evening. Their routine was part of the National Panhellenic Council, which had its annual Yard Show, comprised of six of the nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities. The Yard Show is meant to bring awareness to the “Divine Nine” as they are usually called. Wearing white button-ups with red ties, dress pants and shoes, the men of Kappa Alpha Psi danced and shifted their bodies in front of the steps. They tapped their red and white canes to the ground, exciting the crowd. Even the NPHC President Jarvis Burks joined in the dancing routine, seeing so many African-Americans and other races gathered at the steps watching the show. The show gives students on campus a glimpse of what all the organizations are about
and their historical importance that dates back to slavery. The stomping and historical background information from the fraternities and sororities were well received. “It’s just to pay homage to our ancestors,” Burks said. Burks, who is a member of the Kappas, said their organization practiced for two weeks to learn their moves. “It’s something social we do, but we also give back to the community,” Burks said, “We want people to know us besides (our) fraternity.” Before the Kappas could even stomp a cane on the pavement, the “ice cold” men of Alpha Phi Alpha kicked off the event with an energetic dance. Yelling out calls, which sounded like that of a dog, the Omega Psi Phi men in gold boots with purple shirts made their mark on the pavement. With heads shaking full of attitude and sass, the women of Delta Sigma Theta sorority came onto the scene in unison to Iggy Aza-
lea’s “Fancy.” The clapping and knee stomping were choreographed so that the ladies would strategically switch dance leads with the beat of the song. Some of the fraternities and sororities would even call out to their sister or brother organization. The Kappas handed the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho their own stepping canes with their colors gold and blue. Damion Jamison, a freshman psychology major, said this was his first time seeing the event. He also said seeing all of the African-American fraternities and sororities in one place meant unity and diversity in school. Jamison said he already knew about the NPHC being on Eastern’s campus and had in mind that he was going to join one of them. “I didn’t know anyone when I first came here, so it’s the best way to meet new people,” Jamison said. Roberto Hodge can be reached at 581-2812 or rlhodge@eiu.edu.
Presidential consultant visiting campus By: Debby Hernandez Administration Editor | @DEN_News President Search consultant David MeadFox will be coming to campus to listen to input from faculty, staff and students about the search for a new Eastern president. Faculty forums will be from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. The open session for staff and students will be from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. Both sessions will be in the Charleston/Mat-
toon Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. “The forums will serve as an opportunity for the consultant to know the Eastern community,” said Joseph Dively, the chair of the Eastern presidential search advisory committee. “This will be a very open process,” Dively said. “I encourage everyone to come and participate.” Helping in the search is an international executive search firm known as Korn Ferry, which contracted with Eastern’s Board of Trustees.
Dively said Korn Ferry’s practice is focused exclusively on higher education. Formulated by the Board of Trustees, the presidential search advisory committee is composed of 18 varied members that will be responsible for the search, determining the finalists and conducting the interviews. The Board of Trustees will be responsible for naming the next president. Debby Hernandez can be reached at 581-2812 or dhernandez5@eiu.edu.
Comedian Sinbad will be the main act at 8 p.m. Sept. 20 in the Lantz Arena for Eastern’s 2014 Family Weekend. Darius Francis, University Board chair said UB chose Sinbad as the entertainer with the hopes of drawing in a larger crowd of all ages. “People’s families as well as students know comedians, so it makes it more universal,” Francis said. “We knew it would be new, fresh and innovative to have a comedy show instead of a musical concert.” Melanie Kaderabek, UB vice-chair, said this is not the first time Eastern has hosted a comedian instead of a musical act. “We’ve done things like this before, for example, when Bill Cosby came a few years ago,” Kaderabek said. “So, it’s definitely something that we thought we could change up a bit.” Sinbad will also provide a change of events because Family Weekend typically features a musical act. “Typically we do a concert with a musical guest, but we thought it would be interesting to have a comedian come,” Francis said. “He’s still a really well-known, popular name and we wanted to spice it up a bit and do something new besides the standard concert.” Francis said that UB chose the entertainment this year by questioning the community. “We have a concert coordinator and Ceci Brinker, who is also a concert advisor, who look through various musical and comedy acts and we decided choosing a comedy act would be really great this year,” Francis said. “We also took student polls and asked people around the office what they thought. Despite speculation, UB has not changed their budget to accommodate the change in performance. “Because he’s more well-known, the budget is the same as what we always work with,” Kaderabek said. UB is not making budget cuts. “It’s not like we’re trying to cut back on money or anything like that,” Francis said. “It’s a pretty standard process whether it’s a comedian or a music show.” Sinbad is most widely known for his appearances in the movies “Jingle All The Way,” “Houseguest” and “Necessary Roughness.” He has also held starring roles in “A Different World” and “The Sinbad Show.” Most recently, Sinbad has appeared in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Celebrity Apprentice.” Tickets are being sold for $21 and can be purchased through the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union Ticket Office. Francis said he expects it will be an exciting weekend, and the change will spark interest with more of the audience.

Panthers fall short against Lipscomb By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team (11) went down two goals in the first half and was denied multiple chances in the closing minutes to drop its Monday afternoon game 2-1 against Lipscomb (2-0) at Lakeside Field. Lipscomb’s first goal game in the 13th minute, when the initial shot was saved by Eastern’s goalkeepe r B e n Fe l t es, but it redirected to eventual goal scorer Matt Kerridge who put it in the back of the net. Minutes later, Lipscomb’s Omar Djabi struck the ball from 18 yards out past Feltes for a two-goal advantage after the 19-minute mark of the first half. Eastern head coach Mark Hansen said his team started the game off very well, but then made a few mistakes that were proven costly. “First half we didn’t react well to our mistakes as a team,” Hansen said. Although there were a few mistakes, Hansen was happy with how his team played in its second home game of the season. “As a whole we had a much better performance than we did on Saturday,” he said. The Panthers opened their season with a 2-0 win against St. Francis (Ill.) on Saturday. It was the first time Eastern started with a season with a victory since 2011. Sophomore Davis Wegmann scored his first goal of the season for Eastern a couple of minutes before the end of the opening half. His goal came off a free kick from 25 yards out that was buried to the top right corner of the net in the 43rd minute. “I saw the goalie was on the opposite side of the goal so I put it on the other side,” Wegmann said. The Decatur native made five starts last season, but did not score a goal. Monday’s goal against Lipscomb was Wegmann’s first career goal as a Panther.

Senior Will Butler battles for possession of the ball with Lipscomb’s Matt Kerridge, during Eastern’s game Monday at Lakeside Field. The Panthers lost 2-1 and dropped to 1-1 on the season.
Nick Wegrzynowicz initially drew the foul, but Wegmann took the free kick. That ended up as Eastern’s lone goal. Wegmann wants the team to play
with intensity for the entire game. “As a team we need to keep the intensity up the full 90 minutes,” he said. Tony Meza and Jack Patrick both
sat out Monday’s game after getting injured in Saturday’s 2-0 win over St. Francis. Hansen said both players should return in the near future. “We held them out for precau-
tionary reasons and we think that going forward they should be able to return very quickly,” Hansen said.

Eastern’s Lee, Wallace shine at Ball State Challenge By Blake Nash Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports It was a tale of two days for the Eastern volleyball team at Ball State during the weekend as it played in the Ball State Active Ankle Challenge in Muncie, Ind. After losing its opening match to Northern Colorado, Eastern bounced back to finish second in the tournament. On Friday the Panthers dropped a tough loss to Northern Colorado in five sets, but the following day Eastern swept both of its matches with wins over host Ball State and Western Illinois. The Panthers only lost one set against the hosting Cardinals. Friday’s matchup with Northern Colorado was the first matchup between both schools. The Panthers got
off to a fast start, taking the first two sets by scores of 25-21 and 26-24. The Bears responded with a pair of wins in the next two sets, by scores of 25-17 and 25-19. Northern Colorado completed the comeback, winning the match deciding set 15-10. Junior outside hitter Chelsea Lee led the Panthers in kills with 17 and blocks with three. Fellow junior Abby Saalfrank picked up her second career kill-dig duo with 14 put-downs and 16 put-ups from the Panthers right side. All-Ohio Valley Conference setter Marah Bradbury narrowly missed a triple-double with 42 assists, 14 digs, and nine kills, while picking up her 23rd assist-dig double-double in the opening loss. Stephanie Wallace led the backcourt defense, registering 17 digs.

Team-wise, the Panthers held the advantage over the Bears in kills, (6158) attacks, (176-154) assists, (59-54) and digs (93-85). Saturday’s portion of the tournament saw Eastern go nearly perfect in its two wins. In their first match-
up of the day the Panthers defeated Ball State 3-1 while recording 61 total kills. Bradbury once again led the team in assists with 52 of those kills. On the defensive side of the ball, Dakota Springer had 17 digs, while Wallace had 16 more digs. Offensively, Lee totaled 11 putdowns from the outside hitter position, committing just two miscues for a .360 average. Saalfrank continued her hot start from the previous day, with a career-high 20 kills and her second career double-double with 14 digs. In Saturday afternoon’s matchup the Panthers shutout Western Illinois, beating the Leathernecks 25-18, 2518 and 25-20 in the sweep. Newcomer Maria Brown led the Panthers’ offensive attack with 12 kills and a .357 average, while Lee and fellow fresh-
man Josie Winner notched seven kills apiece. Bradbury added 33 assists to her previous total of 94, along with three kills and six digs. Wallace added 15 digs, as she and Lee were named to the all-tournament team for Eastern. The Panthers finished second in the four-team field, with Ball State winning the tournament, by a .700 set winning percentage, which was a little more than 30 points higher than Eastern’s total of .667. The Panthers will return to action starting at 7 p.m. Friday at Western Illinois in a rematch with the Leathernecks and then will have a double header Saturday against Saint Louis and Texas-El Paso.

Dameron finds positives after loss By Aldo Soto Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21 The Eastern football team began its season with a 42-20 loss at Minnesota, but head coach Kim Dameron had a couple of positives to point to following the defeat. Despite the Panthers’ defense allowing five touchdowns, Minnesota only scored two against Eastern’s defensive unit entering the fourth quarter. The Golden Gophers had four possessions in the first quarter, the first three with an average field position at their own 33-yard line. The Eastern defense shutdown Minnesota’s first three drives, forcing and recovering a fumble midway through the opening quarter. Gopher running back Berkley Edwards, who scored two rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter, said Minnesota’s offense got off to a sluggish start because of nervousness. “I had some nerves, and I think the offense was a little nervous at first,” Edwards said. “It was difficult because we were studying old tape for this game, and we weren’t sure what Eastern Illinois would come out with.” As the first quarter was coming to a close, Eastern quarterback Jalen Whitlow and center Nick Borre did not get on the same page, leading to a fumbled snap that was recovered by Minnesota. In less than two minutes the Gophers’ converted with a Mitch Leidner two-yard touchdown run after taking over at the Panthers’ fiveyard line. Leidner and the rest of the Minnesota offense struggled to move the ball in the first half despite having a 14-point lead starting the third quarter. After the first quarter, Leidner was only 1-of-4 for two yards and the entire offense picked up a lone first down. “Eastern Illinois played a great defensive game,” Leidner said. “Every time we came out on the field they had a different defensive structure. That is tough as an offense to see them pick all the different options. We tried a lot of different things to switch up our game.” Eastern’s defense was preparing

to get on the field for its first defensive stand in the third quarter, but instead it had to wait after Eric Murray blocked Cody Edwards’ punt. On the same play, Logan Hutton snagged the ball from the air and scored Minnesota’s third touchdown. Despite trailing 21-0 after three quarters, the Gophers had fewer first downs than the Panthers, (16-10) fewer passing yards (162-112) and fewer total yards (248-207). Dameron said he was pleased with the Panthers’ defense and more so toward their performance during the start of the game. “I thought we did some good things defensively, early especially, but we just shot ourselves in the foot
way too much on offense and in the kicking game to be able to play with a good football team like Minnesota,” Dameron said. “We’ve got a lot to clean up, but we’ve got some positives to work on.” The fourth quarter was a different story, though. Red-shirt senior Adam Gristick said the size of Minnesota started to take its toll on the Eastern defense. The Gophers proceeded to score three touchdowns and rush for 87 yards in the final quarter. “I thought in the first half, we really played well on defense,” Gristick said. “One touchdown (drive) in the first half started on the five-yard line and we almost stopped them there, so really in the first half we just had
that seven points on us. We played especially well in the first half, but that didn’t translate into the second half.” Gristick finished with five tackles, including a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Dameron said he was proud of the Panthers for battling all 60 minutes. Eastern scored its three touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the game. Red-shirt senior Andrew Manley rushed for one score and threw two touchdown passes in the final half minute of play. Running back Jimmy Lera made it a 42-14 game after his 11-yard touchdown and wide receiver Adam Drake hauled in a 32-yard pass as the clock
expired. Now, Eastern prepares for its home opener against in-state rival Southern Illinois-Carbondale. Dameron hopes Eastern learns some lessons after its season-opening loss. “I told the kids after the game, now that we have a little adversity, it’ll give us an opportunity to see who’s going to show some leadership and make sure they’re working on the things they need to get better at in all three phases of the game,” Dameron said. Kickoff against the Salukis is set for 6 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field. Aldo Soto can be reached at 581-2812 or asoto2@eiu.edu.
Panthers drop matches against Conference-USA foes By Dominic Renzetti Assistant Sports Editor | @domrenzetti The Eastern women’s soccer team thought it might be on the verge of its first win of the season, but it found out in Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Lakeside Field against Louisiana Tech that there are two halves to each game. In the 42nd minute, junior Meagan Radloff fired a shot through the middle of the field. Louisiana Tech goalkeeper Kylee Seto bobbled the save. Remembering what had been stressed all week in practice, red-shirt junior Chris Reed charged toward the net. Reed found the ball off the rebound and put it in the back of the net, giving Eastern its first lead and first goal of the season. “If you’re ever at our practices, we pound into our brains: follow your shot, follow the keeper, crash the goal,” Reed said. Reed said she saw the backspin on the ball and knew it would bounce backwards. She shielded off the goalie, put a toe to it and scored. The Panthers headed to the break with a 1-0 lead. The second half saw three unan-
swered goals from Louisiana Tech, enough to secure the 3-1 win. The first came in the 61st minute from Brittany Beddow on an unassisted shot from 25 yards out and over the head of Eastern’s Emily Hinton. The go-ahead came soon after, with Louisiana Tech’s Kathryn Sloan getting a pass from Annabel Prior in the 65th minute. Louisiana Tech added one more in the 88th minute on an unassisted shot from Jenny Bitzer. After finishing at an even six shots each in the first half, Louisiana Tech pounded the net in the second, outshooting the Panthers 18-4. Hinton, making her fourth straight start in net, made 11 saves. For head coach Jason Cherry, he says this loss is one that will stay with him. “This was a tough one because I really thought we could have won this game,” he said. “To give it away like that, it’s gonna sit in my belly tonight.” The loss puts Eastern at 0-4 to start the season. Panthers fall to Marshall Two goals from junior Kelly Culicerto and a third from sophomore
Sydney Arnold were enough for the Marshall Thundering Herd to secure a 3-0 win on Sunday over Eastern at Lakeside Field. Culicerto, who had three shots on goal in Sunday’s match, found the back of the net in the 24th minute off a header from junior Lia Foster. Culicerto struck again in the second half, connecting on a free kick after a foul in the 55th minute. The third goal came on a breakaway when junior Erin Simmons found Arnold for the two-on-one opportunity in the 66th minute. Hinton got the start in goal for the Panthers, making a total of eight saves. Red-shirt senior Lauren Hoppensteadt, who had one shot on goal in the match, said the way the Panthers possessed the ball showed some positive improvement. “We possessed the ball really well and it shows us that we can hold up with people who are playing No. 3 and No. 5 teams in the nation,” she said. “It was a positive way to realize that we’re getting better.” Cherry was well aware of the challenge that would be presented by the Conference-USA opponent, but still thought the Panthers played well.

Drake finished the season opener in Minneapolis, Minn., with 11 catches for 109 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers lost 42-20. Drake’s 11 catches were the fourth most for any FCS-level player. Drake’s touchdown came on the last play of the game on a 32-yard pass from quarterback Andrew Manley. Drake now has 1,767 career receiving yards and 120 career receptions. It was his seventh career 100-yard receiving game. Drake, a red-shirt senior and native of Charleston, started all 14 games for the Panthers last season and was a second-team All-OVC selection in 2013.

Meza’s injury looked to be his right leg and Patrick’s a p p e a re d t o b e t h e r i g h t foot. Hansen did not expand on the extent of the injured players. Novotny had two saves in his first college game as goalie, but Hansen said Feltes is the starter.
Using both goalies was planned ahead of time to help get Novotny real game experience. Eastern out shot St. Francis 20 to 6. Hansen said he wants the team to play its style of play for the whole game in the future. “ T h e b i g g e s t t h i n g we need to take away from this game is that we need to dictate our style of play from the beginning,” he said. “I think we came out after we scored a little bit passive and we kind of sat on scoring the first goal as opposed to moving forward and trying to get that second and third.” Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.

FROM THE EASEL
Letter to the Editor: In Ferguson, we are all ignorant to the facts My name is Hannah Edwards and I am a junior finance student. I would like to provide a response to the piece written in the Opinions section of the Daily Eastern News (8/29) by Roberto Hodge: I am a white, female, middle class woman and I will admit that I haven’t spoken about or expressed any opinion on the events in Ferguson, Mo. It is not because I don’t care, because I felt like Mike Brown “deserved to die,” or because I don’t feel like it has anything to do with me. As a “white” (or just as a “person” as I like to classify myself ), I have not spoken out on this topic because I simply don’t know the facts. I am not Officer Darren Wilson, and I am not Mike Brown — the only two people who know what truly happened that night. I have no right to say that it was discrimination and I have no right to say what happened was fair. What occurred that night was trag ic, but I’m certain that pointing fingers, looting stores and continuing this spread of hate isn’t going to fix what happened. I hear you shouting “ignorance” at me, but unfortunately in this case, no matter how much one thinks they know about the situation, we’re all ignorant to the facts. Thank you for your time! Hannah Edwards Junior finance major

STAFF EDITORIAL
Presidential search opportunity to hear student voice With President Bill Perry stepping down from his position in June 2015, the search process is on, and that means students who will most feel the effect of the new president should have their input heard. In its early stages, the presidential search committee will be bringing a representative from the consulting firm Korn Ferry to hear what students, staff and faculty have to say about what they want in the new president. From 1:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Charleston-Mattoon Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, students and staff will have an opportunity to let the consultant know what they want in a new president. Representing the student body as a whole will most likely be the standard set of faces, such as the student body president. But that’s not enough, especially if you are a freshman or sophomore and will be around the longest for the new president, you should show up and have your say at the open forum. Change comes from the voices who speak up, so now should be the time to give your opinion on what the new president should be focused on. Perry’s contract ends in the middle of a storm of controversial topics: budget cuts, retirements and low enrollment numbers — just to name a few. These topics have a way of rippling out and effecting students here, especially when you look at the fact that you have four years left to go. Problems will arise at any university, but so rare is it that you have the power to contribute to its solution. If you have problems with this university you want brought to the
new president’s attention before they sign on, then speak up now. That’s the reason for the open forums and transparency in the search. Don’t expect other students to feel as passionately as you do about certain issues. But on the flip side, do take the search and open forums seriously. Don’t be tempted to bring up imaginary or minute problems that are fixed every day. Look at the long-term effects and what it does to you as a paying student for this school. Emphasis on the paying part, by the way. You funnel in thousands of dollars each semester and you should be 100 percent happy with the school you’ve chosen. The step in the right direction is making sure your voice is heard and the problems you have are being addressed. Very rarely do students have the power to sit down and let someone know what they want in an administrator, so take full advantage of it. Don’t let it be the same stock students — step out of your residence hall and bring what you believe to be the major problems at Eastern to the forefront. Eastern begins a new chapter in June 2015. Depending on how you want it written will depend if you care now. For one hour you will have the opportunity to try and shape the future of this school, which is a chance few students ever see. Think about it this way: if you don’t care now, then when your problems and issues aren’t addressed in 2015, you have no right to complain. It’s a matter of getting out there and realizing that’s how change is made — speaking up. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
How Eastern’s paper-saving saves paper I noticed something particular as I made my way to all of my classes last week — the first day of class is traditionally highlighted as probably the easiest day of the semester. Walk in, meet the professor, find your seat, introduce yourself and page through the syllabus. In semesters past, at the end of the first week, I’d find that I’d have dozens of sheets of paper in my backpack, some of which make it out and into a folder, others just get lost in the first week. This semester was different, though. In almost all of my classes, I didn’t get the traditional three or four sheets of paper spelling out the class objectives, policies, tentative schedule and whatever else. This semester, in almost all of my classes, the professors just went over one syllabus downloaded from the Web, presenting it to the class. I think this is a good move by Eastern. I can’t imagine how much paper was saved or how much money was saved by not printing out hundreds, maybe thousands of sheets of
Dominic Renzetti papers, most of which probably end up lost anyway. I can’t tell you how many times last semester I ended up just re-downloading the syllabus off Desire 2 Learn anyway after I lost it in the first week. And does the schedule ever not change? In some classes, the whole thing is out the window before Halloween. Aside from the savings Eastern can get by not printing out all the paper, I think we should also focus on the bigger picture — the drastic effects such a move has on the environment. As a society, we need to be more conscious of how wasteful we are. The change to being green doesn’t have to
be something out of this world; even the simplest, smallest changes can and will have a big impact. It seems like a no-brainer and I’m glad the school is doing it. Think about how much paper Eastern is saving and then imagine a school even bigger than Eastern doing the same thing. That’s a lot of paper and probably even more paper back into the pockets of universities. As more and more paper products move into the digital age, some of them still thrive on having that in-hand feel. Some people will only want to read a newspaper or pamphlet in its physical form, and I suppose that’s understandable. The syllabus, though? I don’t think too many people will mind about not being able to grasp the syllabus in their hands on the first day of class. I know I’m fine with it. Dominic Renzetti is a senior journalism major.

3 Faculty member receives award
Poster perfect
THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | CAMPUS
By Luis Martinez Staff Reporter | @DEN_News
CHYNNA MILLER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Andrew Dilbeck, a senior communications studies major, buys a poster from Jason Baran on Monday during the Back-To-School Poster Sale in the Library Quad. This discount sale is sponsered Pyramid America, who sells posters to people all over the country.
A Booth Library faculty member won the third annual Institutional Repository All-Star award for 2014. Todd Bruns, the Booth Library repository librarian, won this award for his work on The Keep. The Keep is an online archive that contains tons of local, national, and even international news, articles and other important academic items. The Keep acts like an electronic scrapbook, containing more than 30 thousand items, with more added daily. He is in charge of making sure that The Keep stays up and running and that students, not only here at Eastern, but from all over the world, have access to all the information that is in the ever-growing online database. To receive the award, someone must have used presentations, articles, or videos that help detail the guideline to help others learn. Out of more than 170 repository managers, only four are selected for their hard work and dedication to their field
of work. Bruns said he believes the award is fairly prestigious as there are a total of four awards in this field of work. Bruns said the award came as a Todd Bruns shock to him. “I was surprised at first,” he said. “I didn’t even know I was nominated for the award until I had found out I won it.” Todd Burns grew up in Iowa and has been working at Eastern since Nov. 2010. Having graduated with a bachelor’s degree for the University of Iowa in 1989, Bruns has also received two master’s degrees in library science and technology before coming to Eastern. While it was a shock, Bruns said he was very humbled by the award. Luis Martinez can be reached at 581-2812 or lpmartinez@eiu.edu
Student senate needs 15 new members to represent variety By Debby Hernandez Administration Editor | @DEN_News The student senate is looking for 15 senators to represent a variety of registered student organizations. “We are looking for students that are ambitious and like to think outside the box,” said Reginald Thedford, student body president.
As of the time of print, 20 students have already applied. “We want to fill all 15 seats to make sure more students are representing different areas of the university,” Thedford said. He said one of the biggest challenges past senators have faced is not being able to be fully involved in the senate. “Most members we attract are involved in other activities,” he said. “We under-
stand they are full time students, but we want to focus on retention.” Each senator will serve as a liaison for two RSOs that will be assigned to them based on their strengths and interests. Thedford said the goal is to get senators involved and committed to two organizations they are comfortable representing. He said senators will also have to fulfill a diversity requirement.
“A senator has to attend an event or meeting that is diverse to them and report on what they have learned,” Thedford said. Student senators must have a minimum GPA of 2.5, be in good standing with the university, be able to complete a minimum of two office hours each week and attend all senate meetings, and must serve on one of the eight
student senate committees. Those who qualify will be contacted to set up an interview. Applications are available through the student senate website and will be due at noon Wednesday. Debby Hernandez can be reached at 581-2812 or dhernandez5@eiu.edu.

Sam Wheeler, pastor at the Vineyard Church, assists Jayme Grubbs, a volunteer, with measuring where to cut the steps for the layout of their new church.
Vineyard Church relocates New facility to open Sept. 14 By Roberto Hodge Multicultural Editor | @BertoHodge Charleston’s Vineyard Church has moved from its current location on 1505 Seventh St. to 917 Woodlawn Dr. to accommodate larger audiences. Pastor Sam Wheeler said the move was an important step for their church due to the new building having a larger auditorium for gatherings as well as a bigger basement. Their previous building held around 80 chairs, but Wheeler es-
timated the new building might have about 30 more. Much like their old building, which they opened in September 2012, which was being rented; the church’s new home is also being rented out. The new church’s basement will be used for Sunday school and include a nursery where parents can drop their kids off to be watched by volunteers while enjoying their Sunday services. The nurser y will also have a hand painted mural of trees and various animals. “ It’s p a r t o f t h e w a y w e d o church,” Wheeler said. The organization heard the current property on Woodlawn was
up for rent. He said it seemed like a good step to grow their church. Wheeler said their church sees many types of people from students, married couples, retirees and others from the community, young and old. “ We p r i d e o u r s e l v e s o n b e ing a multi-generational church,” Wheeler said. Vineyard’s mission is to continue the ministry as Jesus would whether it be loving, praying, and serving others as he would, Wheeler said. The church also gets a good amount of support from others as they just received cabinets donated to them from the friend of an-
other friend. Volunteers did most of the renovations on the new church as well. There were, at one point, around 20 volunteers working on the church, Wheeler said. Aside from the cabinets, Wheeler said the Salisbury Church donated the Woodlawn scaffolding. Wheeler said their church still meets at the other building until the one on Woodlawn is finished, which will open September 14.

City Council to vote on construction No parking zone also on agenda Blake Warman City Editor | @BlakeWarman Charleston City Council plans to vote on a tuck-and-pointing construction project for the Seventh Street and 10th Street Stone Arch Bridges on Tuesday. The construction is to “tuckpoint” bridges. Tuck-pointing is the extraction
and replacement of old mortar with new mortar. These are two of three stone arch bridges located in Charleston. Local stonemason Alexander Briggs built the three bridges during the 1890s. These bridges were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 and are the only stone arch bridges within the city. The city council also looks to vote on no-parking zones around the ne wly renovated Reynolds
Drive. These parking zones will run from Eden Drive to 323 north on West Reynolds, and Eden Drive to 277 north on East Reynolds. The other parking zone will run from South Taylor from 9th Street to 10th Street Other topics on the agenda include the approval of constructing a concessions building for the local community school district. The construction project according to the agenda will not exceed the amount of $22,000.
