Exhibit to center on 19th century writer Exhibit to highlight Gilman’s life By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN _News Various exhibits in the Booth Library are centered around the idea of students expanding on the variety of books they read, and the latest exhibit focuses on artist and writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Starting Sept. 24, Booth Library will host the presentation of the new exhibit, “The Literature of Prescription: Charlotte Perkins and ‘The Yellow Wallpaper.’” “The Yellow Wallpaper” exhibit is an account of Gilman, an artist and writer from the 19th century, who had a doctor who discouraged her from pursuing a career to help her preserve her health. “The Yellow Wallpaper” explores women’s rights and social conventions restricting women’s professional and creative opportunities. Stacey Knight-Davis, a dean in Library Services, said the exhibits in the library are designed to influence students to read and expand their reading selection. “Students can explore new ideas that they might not have thought about be-

fore,” she said. Knight-Davis said exhibits at the library could last from six to eight weeks. “It varies, depending on what the subject is,” she said. During the time span these exhibits are on display, students get a chance to experience a plethora of movie screen-
ings, lectures and discussions. Students who participate in the activities will get a chance to interact with faculty members and other students. “You get a chance to talk with your fellow students and faculty about the exhibit,” Knight-Davis said. Booth Library, with the assistance of
the National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine, construct many of the exhibits at the library. The library receives financial assistance for the construction and shipment of the materials needed for the exhibit. EXHIBIT page 5
Members of Eastern’s accreditation steering committee met Friday to discuss the first of the university’s criteria for reaccreditation. The meeting, which focused primarily on the university’s commitment to maintaining a clear and well-defined mission statement, was meant to inform faculty on the first stage of the reaccreditation process and was attended by more than 40 members of Eastern’s faculty. According to Bob Augustine, co-chair of the accreditation steering committee and the dean of the graduate school, the two-year ongoing process essentially serves as a quality evaluation for the university. In order to receive reaccreditation, Eastern must first conduct a self-study in accordance with the five criteria provided by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association for College. The first of those criteria evaluates the university’s mission statement and uses a variety of sub-criteria. Among those criteria is an evaluation of how well the mission statement is publicly articulated, how it demonstrates commitment to the public good, how it is understood within the institution and its role in the guidance of the university’s operations. Terri Fredrick, who co-chairs a subcommittee that deals primarily with evaluation of the university’s mission statement, discussed how maintaining a transparent mission which is visible to the public helps promote a variety of Eastern’s program. She said keeping with a publicly articulated, current mission statement helps with enrollment, as well as alumni campaigns like EI&U. When the last NCA site team visited Eastern in 2005, they found the applicability of Eastern’s mission statement adequate, but also said the university needed to adopt a better process to stay consistent with the actual statement. Fredrick said the university convened a team to reassess the process, and they approved a revision in 2007.

Study Abroad | information
Fair to highlight foreign programs By Jack Cruikshank Staff Reporter @DEN_News Since last fall, more than 200 Eastern students have studied abroad, and with the upcoming Study Abroad Fair, the program organizers are hoping to beat that number for this academic year. The fair, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday in the University Ballroom in the Martin Luther King, Jr. University Union, will give students the opportunity to explore different study abroad programs and the details of the program. Kelly Holland, the interim director of study abroad, said the fall fair is usually the busiest and most exciting for students, as it gives them the opportunity to talk with other students who have just returned from studying abroad during the summer. “The students who have been to the different countries can really give new students a perspective of what life is like in the different countries,” Holland said. With an Oct. 4 application deadline for students interested in participating during the upcoming winter and spring sessions, Holland said she encourages everyone interested to go to the fair to see what study abroad
has to offer. “Fairs are held to bring international partners to campus, to bring faculty into one location and to bring students together so they can walk around and see what programs there are out there,” Holland said. Holland added a big benefit to the fair is it is a more relaxed setting where students can collect more information about a program. “The fair is a little bit more fun and informal where students can talk to a lot of people at once,” Holland said. Last fall, around 300 students attended the fair, and through study abroad programs over the past year, Eastern students earned an average of seven credits per trip with an average GPA of 3.14 while abroad. Carlos Amaya, a Spanish professor, said his annual trips help him teach his students about different cultures and how to acclimate to different lifestyles. This spring break, he will take a small group to Guatemala for 10 days. “The best way to learn about other cultures is to go there,” Amaya said. “Through studying abroad, students become more open-minded to different cultures.” Amaya has been involved with different trips through Eastern for more than 10 years, and he said
he encourages all of his students to consider it. “(The Guatemala trip) is a great trip for someone who has never been outside of the United States,” Amaya said. “We (faculty members) take you to guided places, then you can come back and be prepared for your own trip in the future.” Study abroad coordinator Evan Lohmann said students often worry about not being able to afford a program, but money is available for students. “There are always scholarships,” Lohmann said. “Not only through our office, but there are also campus endowments that students can apply for in addition to local financial aid. There are also national scholarships; there is an incredible amount of money out there to be had for studying abroad.” Different types of programs at Eastern provide many unique opportunities for students who think they do not have the time to study abroad, he added. “A typical program used to be during spring semester of a student’s junior year,” Holland said. “Now, at Eastern, short-term projects like spring break are becoming very attractive to a student who is heavily booked during the fall and spring before they intern somewhere.”
Lohmann said if any student is unsure about whether or not to study abroad, the benefits are great. “I’ve traveled to different locations and in some of those locations, I get asked why there aren’t more Americans that travel abroad,” Lohmann said. “I want to make sure that I am doing my part to educate students about the different study abroad possibilities and the ability to earn credit toward graduation.” He also said on top of the cultural education studying aboard offers, when a student returns home, the experience will help in future endeavors. “Studying abroad greatly helps students further their knowledge of the world around them,” Lohmann said. “It also lends itself to professional development, adaptability when trying to find a new job and the education itself of being in a different country and learning about its culture. Research shows that students who study abroad come back wanting to pursue a master's degree and further their education. It really opens up your mind.” Jack Cruikshank can be reached at 581-2812 at jdcruikshank@eiu.edu.
Charleston | outreach
Community leaders to meet residents By Jarad Jarmon Student Governance Editor @JJarmonReporter Student Community Services will host Eastern’s sixth annual campaign for campus leaders to work in tandem with the Charleston community to talk with off-campus residents over residential concerns. Starting from 3:50 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Old Main, students, including the student government executive board, and community leaders , like Charleston Mayor Larry Rennels and City Manager Scott Smith, and will be walking around to residential homes educating students and other residents about responsibilities of living off campus. Before heading out, volunteers
will be split into groups in order to cover ground more easily. Those participating in the program will also be giving out care packages to those they meet with. Rachel Fisher, the director of Student Community Services, said these care packages will include donations from businesses around the area. “Typically, the bags feature information about the city of Charleston, the Good Neighbor Project and other fun giveaways,” Fisher said. The packages will also contain information that might help with living off campus. Members of the Good Neighbor Project will be going to roughly 300 homes around the campus over the
three days, Fisher said. Those helping out will give out information regarding businesses in the area, programs and events around the campus and basic information to living off campus. The program is not exclusive to student leaders, though. Eastern students are allowed to participate and help out with the three-day campaign. Fisher said she recommends contacting Students Community Services beforehand if students wish to be involved. While the Student Community Services members are running the campaign now, it was originally a pilot as part of a grant for Eastern Health Services. “It has continued to expand since
that time and is now a part of the Student Community Services office,” Fisher said. It has only been for the past few years that the student government executive board and the Student Senate have been involved in the program. Student Body President Kaylia Eskew said Eastern has its own community on campus, but it is important to keep in contact with others in the Charleston community. “They offer up their home to us nine months out of the year, so it is a great way to give back to them,” Eskew said.

HERC to promote safe sex to students By Alex Seidler Staff Reporter @DEN_News The Health Education Resource Center is hosting a Rubber Lovers program to educate students on the importance of using condoms. The next Rubber Lovers program is at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King, Jr. University Union. Amanda Woolard, the assistant director for Health Education and Promotion, said Rubber Lovers members plan to teach students the 18 steps to proper condom use and give them additional information regarding sexual health. Once students complete each session, they can receive a free safer sex packet each month. Each packet consists of a variety of condoms, dental dams and lubricants. All Eastern students who participate in one Rubber Lovers presentation and become certified will receive one. Woolard said students will be discussing condom rules and instructions, but also other important knowledge that is vital to know in order to stay safe. She also said students will learn how to go about using condoms in the correct manner. Members of the Health Education and Promotion committee will be assisting the students through the steps of proper condom use. “The students can expect to learn the 18 steps, importance of using a condom correctly and consistently, consent to be sexual, risk of sexually transmitted infections, information on testing, barrier methods

and general sexual health,” Woolard said. Students who are interested in viewing a sneak peak of what the session will consist of can watch a video of the 18 steps to using a condom properly on YouTube.
Both men and women may participate in this program. Woolard said everyone is welcome to come and get more advice to stay protected and make smarter decisions about sex. The HERC hosts Rubber Lover
sessions every semester, but all students are encouraged to attend. Woolard also said the sessions will consist of presentations discussing different topics related to safe sex techniques. “The presentation educates stu-
dents on the importance of using a condom consistently and correctly for everyone,” Woolard said. Alex Seidler can be reached at 581-2812 or ajseidler@eiu.edu.
Construc tion | ne w location
Honors College moved to Pemberton Hall By Kadie Peterson Staff Reporter @DEN_News After spending about $1.5 million on renovations of the Honors College, it is now officially located in Pemberton Hall – and that is just the beginning for the residence hall. Rex Hilligoss, an architect for Facilities Planning and Management, said the construction of the Honors College officially started June of 2012. After its founding in 1982, the Honors College was located in the Booth House, where Mary Booth, Eastern’s library’s namesake, lived. Mark Hudson, the director of the University Housing and Dining Services, said the Honors College had to be moved to a newer building. “The Booth House is a histor-
ic building on Eastern, but it is very old and was not in very good shape,” Hudson said. Hilligoss agreed with Hudson and said the building was beyond repair. “One of the goals of President (Bill) Perry was to enhance the honors experience,” Hudson said. The Honors College staff needed a new place to call home on campus, and a space had become available when the Textbook Rental Service was moved from the south end of Pemberton to its new building behind Carman Hall on Edgar Drive in 2009. It was then decided that would be the new home for the Honors College. Hudson said Housing and Dining partnered on some of the expenses for three reasons. The first was to make Pemberton more accessible. An elevator was put
in to make the Honors College accessible on the second floor, and this created the opportunity to provide elevator access to the residents of Pemberton. Some extra dollars were spent in order to have the elevator to stop on the three main floors of Pemberton, Hudson said. The second reason was to update Pemberton’s electrical system, which not only benefits the Honors College, but when it comes time to do renovations to Pemberton, there will be a more robust electrical system there to help with some of the repairs. Third, Hudson said Housing and Dining paid extra to tap into a chilled water loop, which ends in McAfee, to bring it to Pemberton, which will eventually result in the air conditioning of Pemberton. Hudson recognized one reason why
students chose not to stay in Pemberton is because of the lack of air conditioning. However, Hudson said air conditioning in Pemberton will not be available by fall of next year. It will be a slow process in order to change the building for the privilege of air conditioning without destroying the integrity of the building and its historical significance, he added. A similar process was enacted in order to renovate for the Honors College. “May 1 was when the space had become usable, except for a few minor things that need to be repaired,” Hilligoss said. The Honors College staff members were able to move in on July 22. Another reason Pemberton was chosen to be the new home for the Honors College was to give it a more

prestige address on campus and more in the core of campus, Hudson said. Hudson said he would like to get focus groups of students and residents in Pemberton within the Honor College sometime this fall. With these focus groups, members of Housing and Dining would ask what would make Pemberton work well for the student body that occupies the space, not only physically, but through programs that would make the student experience more exciting. “The philosophy of Eastern has been to integrate the academic and residential experience, and placing the Honor College in a residence hall is taking another step toward that philosophy,” Hudson said.

Today’s quote: "Well done is better then well said."
- Benjamin Franklin
Lesbi-honest, DC Comics: New 52 changes status quo Imagine a 15-year-old boy drawing Harley Quinn, the Joker’s on-and-off again love interest in myriad of Batman stories, dead. What if she was naked? Does that make it more disturbing? Now, imagine the picture as an apparent suicide. Would you believe the 15-year-old was disturbed for drawing it? You shouldn’t. DC Comics just commissioned it. DC Comics started the open search last week for artists who were willing to draw four different panels wherein Harley Quinn kills herself by using a lightning rod, wearing a chicken bikini hoping to be eaten by alligators, trying to be swallowed by a whale and, the last one, naked in a tub with electrical appliances hanging over her. Two years ago, the editorial board of DC Comics created the New 52, a vehicle to start 52 different series for old and new readers alike, setting aside some characters’ histories to re-create or expand on others. Reboots like this are especially important in a fictional world where no one really dies and nothing is ever truly permanent. By September 2012, a year after the initial relaunch, they canceled 10 new titles. But more specifically, editorially they have eliminated paralyzed superhero, The Oracle, and relegated Barbara Gordon back to Batgirl, a way to make her more attractive and oversexualize her crippled character; fired female writer, Gail Simone, for Batgirl, despite artistic and commercial success;
Sean Copeland and over-sexualized the roles of Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Starfire. Now, the openly lesbian Kate Kane, Batwoman, has lost J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman as writers for defending Batwoman’s decision to marry her partner. Really? You’re not even going to try to maintain consistency after completely reversing Green Lantern Alan Scott’s sexual orientation with no pretense at all? But I’m sure DC Comics co-publisher Dan Didio has a really good reason for not allowing Batwoman to be married after proposing twice on panel. Here’s his official statement released at the Baltimore Comic-Con 2013: “Heroes shouldn’t have happy personal lives. They are committed to being that person and committed to defending others at the sacrifice of their own personal interests.” Right, because we’ve never seen Bruce Wayne in a healthy relationship with a woman, or Barbara Gordon date Dick Grayson, or Barbara Gordon recover from being paralyzed. But as if
to suggest goodwill, Didio has employed Marc Andreyko, an openly gay writer, to pander to LGBT audiences in the wake of this decision. So, essentially, DC Comics will deny a fictional character to be married to her lesbian partner, but they completely support hiring a homosexual man to write what happens after they don’t get married? The thing is, I don’t care if you have homosexual, bisexual, transgendered or any other kind of superhero in the multiverse of 52 parallel universes. Personally, if you never introduced sexual orientation to a world where aliens, zombies, spaceships and superpowers are commonplace, then I would just accept that it’s not a huge part of the DC Universe. But comic books have presented us with an outlet to reference and maintain real-world scenarios for decades. To cut out minority characters and how they interact with the world and reign in creative control over their editors while eliminating your audience for your own benefit is absolutely disgusting. DC Comics needs to figure out where they stand. Either flesh out these characters as real people, or don’t bother mentioning sexual orientation. Either way, all I’m going to want to know is if the good guy wins. Sean Copeland is a senior journalism major. He can be reached at 581-2812 or denopinions@gmail.com.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE1 “Sometimes they come with grants, sometimes we have to pay shipping,” Knight-Davis said. She also said some of the exhibits that have been displayed in the library were designed and constructed by local residents in Charleston, like the “Post Office Art” exhibits. Knight-Davis said the feedback from the students on the exhibits has been generally positive. “We see a lot of people standing around and observing the exhibits,” she said. The library displayed popular exhibits in the past, such as a “Harry Potter” exhibit and a “Frankenstein” exhibit; both were sponsored by the National Library of Medicine. “Steam Punk” and “Route 66” are exhibits currently on display in the library. The “Steam Punk” exhibit is a dedication to a retro-futuristic themes found in literature, film, art and fashion. Some examples of steam punk films are “Sherlock Holmes” and “The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”

Panthers suffer 59-point loss By Bob Reynolds Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports After coming off a tough loss last week at home to the Quinnipiac Bobcats, the Eastern Illinois women’s rugby team lost 66-7 to a group of Wisconsin All-Stars from seven different University of Wisconsin schools. The 59-point loss is now the worst loss in program history after losing by 58 points last week against Quinnipiac in the season opener. The schools Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Platteville, Stevens Point and Stout were all represented for the Wisconsin All-Stars. The Wisconsin All-Stars enjoyed a 24-0 lead at halftime as they scored five tries and two conversions. Coming out of the break, the Panthers were controlling most of the field early in the third quarter. “We were finding it a little bit, but then it gets out of rhythm,” Eastern coach Frank Graziano said. “The defense just disassembles itself. It would
be different if the opposition forced us to disassemble ourselves, but we are just dissembling ourselves, and that’s the inexperience.” The lone try for the Panthers came when Wisconsin All-Stars committed a penalty and Eastern sophomore Hannah Vieth was close-lined. Vieth was credited with the try, and junior Carissa Burge booted the twopoint conversion straight through the uprights for the lone Panthers score of the day. Graziano said he liked the way Vieth played in her second-ever rugby game. “Hannah was fine, her kicks are getting better,” Graziano said. “The position she is playing is so complicated. Her vision is starting to open up. She is a wonderful competitor.” The Wisconsin All-Stars added 42 unanswered points in the second half, with Grace Hodve accounting for 39 of the Wisconsin All-Stars’ 66 points. Graziano was impressed with the way the team competed all 80 minutes, despite the blowout loss.
“The girls played with a lot of guts and a lot of heart out there. I have nothing but praise for them with their effort and willingness to compete,” Graziano said. “That has always been a bonus for all of them.” The Panthers edged the Wisconsin All-Stars in lineouts 12-to-6, and both teams were even at 12 in scrums won. Eastern also had fewer penalties than the Wisconsin All-Stars, 18-to26. The loss dropped the Panthers to 0-2 on the season as they finished up their home part of their schedule. Before the game at Lakeside Field, the Panthers honored three seniors— Emily Fitzgerald, Angelica CerceoJensen and Shelby Pilch. While heading on the road for the rest of the season-schedule, the Panthers will take on the University of Pittsburgh next 10 a.m. on Saturday in Pittsburgh, Penn.

Eastern falls over weekend Panthers still winless for 2013 season By Michael Spencer Staff Reporter @tmskeeper The Eastern men’s soccer team fell to 0-2 in this weekend’s Dayton Flyer Classic in Dayton, Ohio. The Panthers dropped their season opener once more, making it six years since Eastern won its first match of the regular season. The Panthers slipped to sixth in the Summit League ahead of only Oral Roberts, which has lost its first four matches of the season. Eastern lost Friday to Lipscomb 3-1 in the first matchup of the tournament. Junior midfielder Omar Djabi scored his third goal of the season to open the scoring in 47th minute of the second half — it was the first of Djabi’s two goals in the game. Djabi finished with five shots on goal. He added his second in the 55
minutes, and just one minute later, teammate Luke Gearin scored from 18 yards out to put Lipscomb up 3-0. After the Bison’s two goals in one minute, junior winger Will Butler pulled one back for the Panthers from 18 yards out from a pass by Jake Brillhart. The goal was Eastern’s first of the season, but it was not enough to undo Lipscomb, who improved to 2-0 on the year. However, Eastern was not dominated on the stat sheet, creating 12 shots to the Bison’s 14 and winning four more corner kicks than Lipscomb, as the Bison had none. Freshman goalkeeper Austin Miller got his first start over sophomore Garrett Creasor. Miller had three saves in his collegiate debut. But Creasor was in goal in the Panther’s Sunday morning matchup with Northern Kentucky. Eastern lost in overtime when freshman Setho Moshoeshoe managed to put the ball past Creasor before he could close down the Norse midfielder just 1:33 into the overtime period. That was Moshoeshoe’s second goal of the match, with the first
being an equalizer for Northern Kentucky in the 90th minute, just 50 seconds before the end of regulation. Junior forward Tayron Martin struck first in the match with a goal coming just four minutes into the second half. But Eastern could not manage to close out the match, giving away the potential victory in the dying moments of the game. Creasor had two saves on four shots on goal against Northern Kentucky; Eastern had seven total shot and two on goal. Northern Kentucky, who improved to 1-1-1, will be in Charleston Friday for the 50-Year Anniversary Soccer Tournament, along with Loyola and Western Michigan. Eastern will be in action against Loyola at 4:30 p.m. on Friday in the second match of the tournament, followed by a game with Western Michigan 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. Michael Spencer can be reached at 581-2812 or tmspencer2@eiu.edu.
Sophomore midfielder Elaina Musleh assisted on all three of Ball State’s first half goals on Friday, leading to Eastern’s fifth straight loss of the season to drop to 0-5. The Panthers were again unable to find the back of the net, making it the fourth straight match without a goal for Eastern. The Panthers have not scored since junior forward Madison Carter’s first-half goal against Oakland in the season opener. Eastern goalkeepers Kylie Morgan and Emily Hinton split time in net, with Morgan starting the first half and Hinton in the second. Morgan made seven saves and gave up all three of the match’s goals. Morgan becomes the first Eastern goalkeeper this season to start multiple matches. Hinton made four saves in the second half. Ball State’s Maimee Morris opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a goal off a rebound off the top of the box. Musleh was credited with her first of three assists of the match. Morris had one goal and two assists last season for the Cardinals. The goal is Morris’s first of the season. Ball State would score again 14 seconds later for its second goal when freshman forward Kelsey Wendlandt
»
would score from the top of the box on an assist from Musleh. The goal is Wendlandt’s second of the season. With halftime approaching, Ball State would add its third goal, when sophomore midfielder Erin Greeley would score from the right side of the box, with Musleh adding her third assist of the match. The goal is Greeley’s second of the season. Greeley only appeared in one match for the Cardinals last season. Eastern would allow no second half goals, a first for the team this season. The three first half goals were the most allowed by Eastern all season. Ball State improved to 3-1 on the year, recording its second shutout of the season. The Cardinals outshot the Panthers 31-10. The 10 shots mark the most by the Panthers in any game this season. Red-shirt junior Lauren Hoppensteadt led Eastern with two shots on goal. Ball State’s Brooke Dennis was credited with the win in goal, making it her second win of the season. Eastern will return to action at 6:30 p.m. on Friday against Missouri on the road, then again at 10:30 a.m. Sunday against Loyola at Lakeside Field. Dominic Renzetti can be reached at 581-2812 or dcrenzetti@eiu.edu.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Eastern coach Dino Babers said the physical play by the Southern offense played a role in slowing down Eastern in the third quarter. “They are very, very good in the defensive line,” Babers said. “They were lining up in that 3-4 front, and those cats are hard to move. It’s a physical team, and it was a physical game.” Garoppolo, who was not sacked by San Diego State in the season opener, was taken down three times by the Salukis. With 2:19 left to play, Southern quarterback Kory Faulkner passed the ball to fellow senior John Lantz for a 17-yard touchdown. Thomas Kinney kicked the extra point, tying the game at 30. Eastern had already scored two touchdowns in less than two minutes in the first half, and Garoppolo was poised to do the same to close out the game. Garoppolo and the Panther offense began the ball at their own 11 after a holding penalty negated a 30-yard kick return by Eastern’s Shepard Little. Garoppolo completed all five of his passes on the drive for 61 yards and also added an eight-yard rush, bringing the ball inside the Southern 20yard line. After a couple of Taylor Duncan rushes that brought the ball to the Salukis three, Southern coach Dale Lennon called a timeout, and then came the blocked kick. “We were a little down at first,” Eastern wide receiver Adam Drake said. “We just had to shrug it off and keep going.” Berra said he was met with positiv-
ity from his teammates on the sideline after having the possible game-winning kick blocked. “We just have to be positive, and that’s what we did so well,” Berra said. “We kept plugging away and plugging away, and the defense came up with a big stop.” That stop came in the second overtime after both teams exchanged touchdowns in the first overtime. The Eastern defense, which had allowed 473 yards in regulation, clamped down on Southern’s offense, forcing it to settle for a 37-yard field goal attempt. Kinney missed the attempt (third miss of the game) as the ball sailed wide left, giving the Panthers and Berra a chance to win the game. After a six-yard run by Little, Garoppolo missed on two pass attempts, setting up Berra for the gamewinner. “Going out there, you have to tell yourself that you’ve done this over and over again, you’ve made this kick before,” Berra said. “I have to just trust the snapper, holder and line. That’s all you can worry about. You can’t second guess the game-winner.” Berra kicked the ball right down the middle of the uprights. Eastern escaped with a 40-37 win in Carbondale. “Overall, (Berra) has been one of the best kickers I have ever been around,” Babers said. “We’re not changing kickers. We love Cam, and we are behind him 100 percent.” Aldo Soto can be reached at 581-2812 or asoto2@eiu.edu.

football | game recap
Teams finish one, two at Open By Blake Nash Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s cross country team took first place, and the women’s team took second as it hosted the Walt Crawford Open Friday. The men’s team scored 27 points overall, followed by Southern IllinoisEdwardsville with 59 points and the Illinois Track Club with 94 points. Two Panthers took first and second individually. Red-shirt senior Michael Hesslau finished first individually with a time of 25:35.49. “We ran well despite the heat,” Hesslau said. “It’s always nice to have a home meet, being that it always gives us a confidence booster.” Senior Pablo Ramirez finished second with a time of 25:40.99. Junior Bryce Basting also placed in the top five, taking fifth place with a time of 25:51.89. “If we can bring the same focus and stick to our plan, there is no question this could be a big year for us,” Hesslau said. However, the heat was a problem for a few runners, Hesslau said. Several runners needed medical attention afterward. This is another issue that Hesslau believes the team will need throughout the rest of the season. “Staying healthy is very important for the rest of the year,” Hesslau said. “This is a long season, and we need all the help our bodies can provide us.” The women’s team took second place, finishing behind only Southern Illinois-Carbondale. The top three teams consisted of Carbondale with 22 points, Eastern with 59 pts and Murray State University with 94 pts. Freshman Emily Brelsfoard was the only Panther to finish in the top five with a time of 17:37.52. “This was really exciting for my first meet,” Brelsfoard said. “The most important things I can take away from this meet is the need for teamwork and listening to your body when it’s pushed in hot weather”. Brelsfoard said the excitement brought unnecessary speed to her and her teammates. “Something I think we need to work on in the future is running in groups,” Brelsfoard said. “Teamwork is important, and it’s something we need to bring with us to every meet.” Carbondale’s Sadie Darnell finished first overall among the women with a time of 17:37.52. Despite being the only Panther in the top five, Brelsfoard said she is looking forward to the rest of the season. “We have lots of potential, and I’m very excited,” she said. “Fellow freshman Julie James is getting better every day, and by the looks of it, so is the future of the program.” This was the only home meet of the season for Eastern. The next meet for both teams will be Friday at Illinois State University in Normal at the Illinois State Invite. Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu.

Red-shirt junior offensive lineman Collin Seibert celebrates after Eastern’s 40-37 double overtime victory over Southern Illinois Saturday in Carbondale. The win brings Eastern’s record to 2-0 for the 2013 season. The Panthers will take on Illinois State on the road this Saturday.
Eastern escapes with victory By Aldo Soto Assistant Sports Editor @AldoSoto21 @DEN_Sports CARBONDALE — Junior linebacker Tyler Williamson bursted through the middle of Eastern’s line as time expired in regulation and blocked Cameron Berra’s 19-yard field goal attempt. Southern Illinois-
Carbondale players erupted with a simultaneous roar — the game was heading to overtime, tied at 30. “It should have been over,” Berra said. “It should have been over in regulation.” The blocked kick, however, would set up Berra for the eventual gamewinning kick for Eastern’s 40-37 win over the Salukis in double overtime. The senior kicker missed an extra
point earlier that would have given the Panthers a 31-23 lead. Berra also missed a 43-yard field goal attempt in the third quarter. The Eastern offense passed the ball effectively against the Salukis in the first half, scoring in three of its first four possessions. Senior quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw three touchdown passes to start the first half. He was 19-of-26 for 250 yards heading
into halftime, leading to a 21-17 lead for Eastern. Southern adjusted to the Panther passing attack, sending more pressure at Garoppolo. The Panthers struggled in the third quarter, running the ball 11 times for 37 yards and completing 50 percent of its passes for 69 yards. The Salukis took a 23-21 lead into the final quarter.
