Dance society salsas into Latino Heritage Month By Amy Wywialowski & Amanda Wilkinson Assistant Daily Editor & Staff Reporter
Hand-in-hand and eyes downward at their feet, about a dozen pairs of Eastern community members repeated the eight counts involved in Salsa dancing on Tuesday. Salsa, Rumba, Bachata and Cha Cha are just a few of the dances the EIU Ballroom Dance Society will teach in the next month in honor of Latino Heritage Month. The four-part series began Tuesday when the group taught participants how to do the Salsa. The dance pairs gathered in the Dance Studio of the Student Recreation Center to learn the dance that has been around since the early 1900s, the salsa.
Cece Smith, vice president for campus relations for the group and sophomore family and consumer sciences major, taught the dance after introducing its history and origin. “It says Salsa comes from Cuba, but it can also be found in the Dominican Republic,” Smith said. “It is a mixture of British, Frenchcountry style dance with African flair and Cuban music.” Smith said the name “Salsa” actually came from New York, although the dance does not originate there. This is first time the EIU Ballroom Dance Society has participated in Latino Heritage Month. “We cover a lot of Latino dances in here,” Smith said. “Dancing is a part of Latino culture, and we figured we might as well.” After going over the histor y,
Smith and Lisa Perfors, president of the society and junior music major, divided the group in half to learn the lead and follow roles. The lead role is traditionally taken by the male of the pair, but since more females attended the event, five of them learned the lead part. Kinyeta Porter, a senior psychology major and president of the Jolie Dance Troupe, chose to learn the lead role. “It is kind of weird but is fun,” she said. “This was a way to do something different.” Smith said along with learning the roles, they would also teach the basic steps, the side step, the underarm turn and the cross-body turn. Despite being a registered student organization, the club is not SALSA, page 5
CIT Y COUNCIL
Charleston council adds property By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor
The Charleston City Council voted to add 49 acres within the city limits at its meeting on Tuesday. The council annexed the property adjacent to Sister City Park. The First Christian Church, 411 Jackson Ave., owns the property, and petitioned the city to annex the property. Mayor John Inyart said the property will potentially be developed by the church. “We hope, at some point, that the land will be developed,” Inyart said.
“We think that church someday will like to build a church on part of it, and this leaves their options open for what they do with the rest of it.” Inyart said along with annexation comes city services like water, sewer, police and fire protection. With the property, there are some streets that will become part of the city. “There are some county roads that go around this property, and so we will probably end up with the responsibility of maintaining part of those roads,” Inyart said. Inyart said there is an issue of
maintenance responsibility. “When we have an area with the city on one side and a township on the other, we will have to work something out to share the maintenance of the roads,” Inyart said. A no-parking zone was also added to the section of 13th Street across from Mark Twain Elementary School. This addition is to help improve the flow of traffic and visibility before, during and after school events. The ordinance was placed for public inspection at the Sept. 4 meeting. PROPERTY, page 5
The debate regarding Chick-filA’s contract with Eastern took place Tuesday between faculty, guests and administrators during Faculty Senate. The contract is renewed yearly on May 31. Nico Canady, a senior English major, came to the meeting to express his concerns. He said Chick-fil-A sends its money to organizations working toward limiting legal protections for those in gender or sexual minorities. “The bottom line is that Chickfil-A has the right to spend its money however it pleases, but we don’t have to let them do that on our campus and, in doing so, align our university’s values with theirs,” Canady said. Clinton Brown, a graduate student, showed the group that Chick-
fil-A Appreciation Day is shared on the EIU Facebook page. Br ow n s a i d p e o p l e c a m e t o Chick-fil-A on Aug. 1 in the Food Court of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union to support “a symbol of hatred” rather than simply food. “We cannot allow our campus to be hijacked by certain company’s extremist views,” Brown said. Amy Rosenstein, a Faculty Senate member from the special education department, motioned to place the last two sentences of Eastern’s mission statement detailing its commitment to diversity and inclusion in a visible place on all of the school’s social media websites. While Stacey Knight Davis, a Faculty Senate member from Booth Library, motioned to send a message to President Bill Perry requesting a formal statement addressing the issue and reinforcing the mission statement. However, the meeting was no longer in quorum, so both motions will be readdressed during the next meeting. CHICK-FIL-A, page 5
BUDGET
State reimbursement goal for university By Robyn Dexter In-depth Editor
Illinois owes $11.7 million to Eastern, but Eastern’s treasurer is hopeful that the amount will be paid back by the end of 2012. Treasurer Paul McCann said all the universities the state owes money to are paid in the same increments. “The state is paying down as they get money, and they’re keeping everybody at just about the same percentage of unpaid across the state,” he said. “It doesn’t make it any better or worse; it just puts everybody in the same place.” McCann said the state treasurer and the comptroller feel that Eastern will receive the money it is owed before the end of the fiscal year. “We are in about the same place we were a year ago,” he said. McCann said on top of the $11.7 million the state owes Eastern for Fiscal Year 2012, they also owe a little more than $8 million for FY 13 and about $4 million in Monetary Award Program grant money, bringing the total to around $24 million owed by the state. “It was a hard lesson when we first started having our reimbursements withheld,” he said. “ We quickly learned how to survive.” McCann said there are some monies that are set aside over the
years and put in equipment reserves for big projects. “There are also other unrestricted monies around the university that we can borrow,” he said. McCann said the way Eastern uses its income has also changed. “It used to be that we’d use all the Springfield money first, and we’d save tuition money until the end of the year,” he said. “Now we’re using the tuition money as soon as we get it in and using the appropriated money after that.” He said the cash flow does not change much, but the order in which the money is used does. “In general, we have not made any major cuts,” he said. “I go through every expenditure every day to give a fresh set of eyes to see if this is something we really need to be doing.” McCann said if he knows what he anticipates for spending, he will know what the university has in terms of cash flow. “Second guessing can come in handy,” he said. “People know that I look and think about whether or not we really need certain things.” McCann said campus does a great job of saving money by getting vendors down to the lowest price and by limiting travel.

Members of the play "A Strindberg Café" practice one of their scenes Monday in the Doudna Fine Art Center's Black Box. The play addresses the relationship between a daughter and an overprotective mother.
Strindberg to be remembered after 100 years with student performances By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor
This year marks the 100-year anniversary of the playwright August Strindberg. To celebrate the life of Strindberg, the Theatre Arts Department will be performing two of Strindberg’s one-act plays, “Mother Love” and “The Stronger.” The plays will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday in the Black Box Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The group will also be performing this show at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Armory Free Theatre at the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign. Chris Mitchell, the director of Strindberg Café, said the two plays are some of Strindberg’s lesser know plays, but still celebrate the playwright’s life. “This is a big year for Strindberg,” Mitchell said. “There is kind of a world wide celebration of Strindberg.” Mitchell said theaters across the world are doing different things to commemorate Strindberg’s life. U of I will be performing a production of “A Dream Play.” “We are working with U of I to coordinate being a part of the celebration together,” Mitchell said. Grace Munoz, a sophomore theatre arts major and a psychology major, said she is ex-
cited to perform at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “I haven’t been to U of I since high school theatre fest and it’ll be fun to go back and perform for an audience that isn’t Eastern,” Munoz said. “The Stronger” is about 15 minutes long while “Mother Love” is about 30 minutes. Michell said they have changed the setting of the plays. “The Stronger” is set in Havana, Cuba, in the 1950s, while “Mother Love” will be set in a seaside resort on St. Barths in the Caribbean in the 1950s. “Mother Love” is about the struggle between a mother, a daughter and the mother’s dresser. The mother is trying to control the daughter’s life, and she is trying to live a life of her own. “The Stronger” is about the power struggle between two women. Munoz will be playing the role of a dresser in “Mother Love” and the role of Mrs. X in “The Stronger.” Munoz said the daughter meets a new friend who encourages her to find new independence for herself. “In the end, she realizes that she would rather be with her mother than find her independence,” Munoz said. Munoz said during the play “The Stronger,” the two women compete for power throughout the play.
“The funny thing about that play is only one person talks throughout the entire play,” Munoz said. Munoz’s character Mrs. X is the only character with dialogue. At the end of the play, audience members will have to guess which woman is the strongest one. “At the end of the play, we try really hard to have an ambiguous struggle with each other, and we don’t know who they are going to pick as the stronger person,” Munoz said. “We want to keep them guessing who is stronger.” Mitchell said the plays’ characters are “typical Strindberg.” “They have bold female characters in it,” Mitchell said. “With the exception of the waiter, these are all women shows.” Tickets for the Eastern showing are $5 for students, $10 for audience members of 62 and older, and $12 for the general public. Tickets for the the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign showing are free. Munoz said this is not something Eastern students usually see on campus. “They can look forward to how different these plays are than anything EIU Theatre is going to do this year,” Munoz said. “These are two very short, very intimate classical plays that we’ve interrupted in our own ways.” Samantha McDaniel can be reached at 581-2812 or slmcdaniel@eiu.edu.

Mattoon’s dark history Sex, drugs topic of HERC presentation depicted through film By Tim Deters Features Editor
Local residents are preparing to film an alternative history depicting a dark part of Mattoon’s past. Jason Shook, of Mattoon, and several friends are in the pre-production stage of recreating the history of the Mattoon Mad Gasser. The Mad Gasser was the name of an unidentified suspect who allegedly terrorized Mattoon between Sept. 1 and Sept. 11, 1944. Shook explained that the Mad Gasser supposedly lurked around Mattoon at night and sprayed a chemical anesthetic into houses while residents slept. Victims who suspected they were exposed to the chemical reported symptoms that included headaches, nausea, facial swelling and constriction of the mouth and throat, according to reports in the Charleston Daily Courier and Daily Journal-Gazette. Reports also said there was mass hysteria as residents feared the attacker would continue his attacks and possibly escalate attacks with deadly chemicals. More than 30 Mattoon residentswere reported to have been victims of the Mad Gasser. Although no individual was charged with the attacks, the main suspect was Farley Llewellyn, a chemical engineering student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, who also had a chemical laboratory in his backyard. Shook said he grew up hearing stories of the Mad Gasser from his grandfather. “My grandfather was off in the second World War, but he always got news of it whenever he came back from leave,” he said. “He remembered
the town being in constant hysteria.” Shook said the hysteria of the little town of Mattoon intrigued him and that he is impressed the Mad Gasser was never caught. “They never really found the man who did it,” he said. “It’s almost like the perfect crime.” Shook began to create comics about the Mad Gasser in 2006 retelling the history, but a car accident damaged his hand and prevented him from completing the comic. He then wrote an alternative history of the Mad Gasser that he is using as the premise of the film. In the film, Llewellyn is the Mad Gasser. Through a series of events, Llewellyn’s grandson discovers his grandfather’s sordid past and becomes the new Mattoon Mad Gasser. “He took it upon himself to be the new Mattoon Mad Gasser to seek revenge on all those who opposed him,” Shook said. The film incorporates flashbacks to Llewellyn’s past, as well as a video diary of his grandson throughout his developments as the new Mad Gasser. Despite reshaping Llewellyn’s past, Shook said the movie will be historically accurate. “We do not want to screw with history because history is something that needs to be learned,” he said. Although it was a challenge, Shook found locations in Mattoon for filming that he said have the dark look and feel of Mattoon during the hysterical period of the Mad Gasser. “It was a bit of a challenge, I’ll admit,” he said. “I was trying to find the look of a broken city.” Shook chose several old factories and alleys in Mattoon for filming and said he has been given legal permission

to use the properties. “We want this to be 100 percent legit and 100 percent legal,” he said. Shook and his crew have also created props that actually work as depicted to ensure the reality of the film. “We have literally built every single one of the props that are going to be used in the movie to work in real life as they would in the movie,” he said. “Whatever I introduce into the movie, I want it to be able to exist in real life.” Shook said the main issues that are holding up production are funding and casting. Shook and his crew are funding the film from their own pockets and need to cast about 15 extras before filming can begin.
NRHH sells more than 300 cancer awareness T-shirts The National Residence Hall Honorary is raising money for the Mills Breast Cancer Institute in Champaign by selling T-shirts and have already sold more than 300 shirts. The NRHH has been raising money for this institute for six years by selling breast cancer awareness Tshirts. Mark Hudson, the director of University Housing and Dining Services, said over the years, the NRHH has raised more than $20,000 for the Institute. “One of the most impressive things is that NRHH have adopted this organization and have stuck with it for a number of years,” Hudson said. “ I think that shows an ongoing relationship between a university organization; they see it as their cause.” Chelsea Beaty, a senior communication disorders and sciences major and a member of NRHH, said she enjoys supporting the cause. “All of the proceeds are going to the Mills foundation, so it’s a good cause,” Beaty said. “I’m glad people are supporting it.” Janelle Reese, a senior special edu-
cation and elementary education major, said this is an easy way to support a good cause. “Breast cancer is something that affects a lot of people,” Reese said. “I have an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor.” Caitlin Garstkiewicz, a junior psychology major and a member of NRHH, said supporting this institute helps them fulfill one of society’s main goals. “I would definitely say one of the four pillars is service,” Garstkiewicz said. “We are really committed to service, and this is one way we do philanthropy.” The Mills Breast Cancer Institute has also named an operating room named after NRHH and Eastern. “Through the selling of these Tshirts that are very popular on campus, they take the profits and make fairly substantial contributes,” Hudson said. Garstkiewicz said they like supporting the foundation because of all the work they do. “The other members have expressed that they feel such a large connection when they go there, so it’s so rewarding to give to this foundation,” Garstkiewicz said. Sarah Wulf, a sophomore special education major, said she buys

Two of the Health Education Resource Center’s most well-known programs will be combined on Wednesday to form the “Sex and Booze” presentation. For the past five years, the HERC has hosted sessions titled “Rubber Lovers,” based on safe sex practices, and the “Six Pack Series,” which focuses on alcohol education. “Sex and Booze” is part one of six programs offered through the semester focusing on how alcohol can affect sexual activity. The presentation begins at 7:30 p.m. in Room 1255 in the Coleman Hall Auditorium. Because of the number of programs, the series is appropriately titled “The Six Pack.” Maggie Luneburg, a graduate student and substance abuse coordinator at the HERC, organizes and teaches many of the presentations. Luneburg said when the program first began, all six presentations occurred during the first six weeks of the school year, but now there are two presentations per month. “We changed it because we feel, by the end of the series, in the past was when people were more aware of it,” Luneburg said. “By spreading it out, we figure we will have a better turnout.” Luneburg said each of the presentations has a slightly different focus that goes with the main theme of al-
cohol use, including how it relates to the law, a student’s future, sex, society and alcohol poisoning. Members of the Charleston Police Department will help out with two of the sessions. Amanda Woolard, the assistant director for health education and promotion at the HERC, said the turnout was typical for the time of year last year. “It was really early in the semester,” Woolard said. “There is a lot going on campus during those first few weeks.” Madison Dailey, a graduate assistant for sexual health education at the HERC, will be presenting the program with Luneburg. She said Rubber Lovers is a program that students can sign up for after attending an education session on how to avoid high-risk sexual activity as well as the 18 steps of how to correctly put on a male condom. After the sign up, they receive a “Safe Sex” packet for the next 12 months that includes condoms, flavored condoms, lubricant and tips on having safe sexual activity. “I think we will have a lot more people this time,” Dailey said. “We have been handing out flyers, and I have had more people at ‘Rubber Lovers’ meetings.”
a shirt for many of her family members. “My family has a history of breast cancer,” Wulf said. Jamie Montgomery, a senior family and consumer sciences major, said she tries to buy a shirt every year. “My grandma had breast cancer, so that is why I buy them,” Montgomery said. Hudson said most students have felt the effects of breast cancer. “I think for some, being supportive and buying a T-shirt is their way of helping with a public issue like breast cancer,” Hudson said. Wulf said she also felt it showed support for Eastern. “It is what Eastern is all about,” Wulf said. “Everyone here donates to good things.” The T-shirt sale will continue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Friday. Garstkiewicz said this year she likes the shirts because of the support it shows. “I like how it encompasses breast cancer awareness and EIU,” Garstkiewicz said. “It shows (Eastern’s) dedication to service.” Samantha McDaniel can be reached at 581-2812 or slmcdaniel@eiu.edu.

Creating art has worth, strengthens our culture Freedom of speech: say whatever the hell you want Seth Schroeder We at The Daily Eastern News strongly believe in the use of our First Amendment rights. As journalists, it’s part of our day-today jobs, but it doesn’t apply to just us. This is why, as part of the Society for Collegiate Journalists’ Constitution Day on Monday, we wanted to get the campus involved in expressing their rights as much as possible. Students were free to express whatever they pleased either on our free speech board or by speaking over the microphone. Some students were shy and afraid to speak their mind at first, but with a little coercing to let them know this is what the First Amendment is all about, they let loose with what they were really thinking. This included anything from curse words to religious and political commentary and in some instances, even singing songs like “America the Beautiful.” SCJ also sponsored a Constitution panel in which journalism department chairman James Tidwell, political science department chairman Richard Wandling and political science professor Karen Swensen spoke even more on First Amendment rights. They discussed topics like the Constitutional implications of the Chick-fil-A controversy, how politicians can legally lie in their campaigns and the importance of freedom of speech and why students should care. What we at The News hope you openly practice your rights. We also hope you know you can say whatever you want as long as the speech does not incite violence, go against obscenity standards or threaten national security. If what you want to say doesn’t fall into those categories, go for it. Speak your mind. If you want to say “fuck” or any expletive (as long as it does not incite violence), that’s your right. Don’t shy away from saying what you really feel. The United States is one of the leading pioneers in free speech. People in this country have not always had the right to be who they are and to say what they want. People in other countries still do not have the rights we have here. If you are a woman, black, Asian American, have a behavioral or mental disability, have a religion outside of the majority or if you are of the LGBTQA community, at one point in time, you had less rights than other people in this country. This call to action to speak your mind especially applies to you. While doing so might cause persecution, the persecution you feel for yourself will largely overwhelm the brief persecution you feel at the hands of other people. Freedom of speech applies to every American citizen. So stand up for your right to speak your mind. Your bravery will encourage other people to be brave as well.

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
I want to say something that I shouldn’t have to. It’s a statement artists know deep down in their hearts to be true, but still have to convince themselves, and the rest of the world, of it’s truth. Our job is necessary. I don’t mean that in the sense that it’s more important than other jobs, just that it can accomplish something and that a society is weaker if it lacks art. I’ve heard too often that art is pointless. The people saying this may acknowledge it’s beauty or the skill involved but they don’t see how it can make the world a better place. Now, I can kind of see how a person might think this. It’s tough to see how art can have a direct effect on something, and a lot of art isn’t intended to have a point. Some of it’s just meant to be fun or self-indulgent. But even something like that is worth creating. It shows what that person was
feeling, and where their thoughts were at the time. What’s even better is, if that thing lasts it will continue to show the person’s inner self, even long after they’re gone. Someone else might latch onto that creation. They can have their own emotional response, they can get new viewpoints, or they might become inspired to create something of their own. Art begets more art, but it can also lead to so much more. Many scientists say they were first inspired by science fiction. It can challenge our preconceptions and
can force us to view the world in a different way. This is a good thing. We can find new ways to solve old problems. It’s not just to give us something cool or new to lookout (though it does do that, and that’s worth something). It may not seemingly give us cheaper food or cleaner energy (though it can do this indirectly). But it can give us a greater sense of self-esteem and self-actualization. It’s giving us something we need. It’s a reason for us to have a society in the first place. Ancient cultures are often judged by their art, by the things they left behind. Let’s make sure our culture leaves something great behind. This is something we should encourage, not put down. Seth Schroeder is a junior journalism major.

Long distance relationships show you what matters
The typical saying for being away from someone you love is absence makes the heart grow fonder. Many times, I think that this statement may refer to a boyfriend or girlfriend. In my personal experience, I am in two long distance relationships, one with my boyfriend, and one with my best friend. Communication is not something that is difficult nowadays. It seems that we take for granted how easily we can communicate with people who are not with us every day. When friends separate, whether it is because of college or a general move, it is always a promise that you will keep in touch. Leaving for college is always hard, but it is something that comes naturally. It is natural for the little birdie to leave its nest and to start to fly on its own. What is not natural, is to leave behind people you love that is not your family. When my best friends and I all went to different schools we made an effort to make sure we kept in touch. It has been fairly easy to contact each other with all the forms of communication we have. Texting, Facebook, Skype and the old-fashioned phone call, are all used between us on a daily basis. When part of my communication was taken away from me, I did not know what
Jackie Capps I would do in order to stay in touch. I never knew how much I took advantage of a phone call or a text. Our generation seems to have overlooked how easily we are able to communicate with everyone around us, or at least on this continent. In June, my best friend since seventh grade took an internship to Australia. No doubt, I was I excited for her, but I also tried to persuade her to stay here for more selfish reasons. How could I not see her for three whole months? She is my person (for all those “Grey’s Anatomy” fans). She is the person I run to for everything. Before she left, I talked to her everyday, now I stop my entire day in order to use some form of social networking to talk to her. It’s been hard not seeing her or talking to her as much as I used to, and I cannot wait for

her return Sept. 26th. But I’ve learned valuable lessons out of all of this. One is that it is possible for people to remain friends through college and it’s even possible to remain friends while 10,360 miles away from each other. Skype dates at midnight are possibly the reason I am behind on homework, but it is all well worth it. I also learned that I take for granted everything I have in ways to communicate. I cannot pick up my phone and call her and talk about my day, or send her pictures of the shoes I am contemplating to wear with a certain outfit. Coming to college is hard, and coming to college without your friends is even harder. But the friendships that stay alive through college, and the friendships that stay alive with oceans between them, are the ones that are worth holding onto. When communication is pulled out from beneath you, your life will continue on no matter what. But it will make you realize that there are a lot of things you probably take for granted.

ise to annex. The council also voted to increase the funds from the Tax-Increment Fund for work to be done on the property of Tina Grissom in conjunction with a city project on the property next to her. It also voted to increase the TIF fund for work on a property at 513 7th Street. The increase is for $4,170.45 for masonry work and builder insurance. Inyart said the property was purchased about two years ago. He said instead of tearing the building down, they decided to renovate the building to meet building codes and be structurally sound.
“Picture a big jack-o-lantern,” Inyart said. “We would have had just a big tooth out of that side of the square.” Inyart said the buildings on either side of the property would have had to have major repairs to fix problems left by the building. “To retain the integrity of the square, we decided to put money into the building,” Inyart said. The council meets at 7:30 p.m. the first and third Tuesday of every month at the Charleston City Hall. Samantha McDaniel can be reached at 581-2812 or slmcdaniel@eiu.edu

Chairman Andrew Methven, a biology professor, suggested for Faculty Senate and Student Senate to have a forum to discuss the issue together in the future. The Faculty Senate members also addressed the use of EXP Security System, a security-consulting firm. Representatives from the consulting firm explained that they are in the process of collecting data to determine how they will install new electronic security systems such as
cameras and electronic locks. Robert Lomb, a senior security engineer for the firm, said they have reviewed the physical campus extensively and will put forth a full presentation of the Master Security Plan to the Eastern administration by the end of October.

REIMBURSEMENT, from page 1 “We’ve cut back across the board about 25 percent on supplies,” he said. “It makes people think twice.” McCann said the single biggest expense on campus is salaries, and that the biggest cost savings that have come through have been from not increasing salaries and keeping them level. “Over the last two or three years, that’s where the greatest savings have come from,” he said.
McCann said he hopes Eastern has the $11.7 million by Dec. 31. “We will get that money in, but in the meantime, we will be spending $11 million more in this year,” he said. “I would like to see, year over year, that money the state owes us to decrease.” Robyn Dexter can be reached at 581-2812 or redexter@eiu.edu.

New format not working
NATALIE FEDDER |THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Tayron Martin, sophomore forward, fights for the ball during Tuesday’s men's soccer match against Loyola at Lakeside Field. Eastern beat Loyola 2-0.
Well, the rugby sevens experiment was a bust to say the least. The rugby sevens revolution was not a failure, but trying to play it on short notice produced an 0-2 record for a heavily favored rugby team. The Panthers have never started the season with two losses, and a third in a row would be unprecedented. Does this mean there is a cause for concern? Eastern head coach Frank Graziano does not like to make excuses, but he has plenty of reason to. Attempting to make the switch to rugby sevens would not be as daunting if there was ample time to practice. Keeping that in mind, deciding to make the switch less than five days before the first game is not highly recommended. The inexperience showed itself throughout the first two contests and resulted in unfamiliar territory for Eastern rugby. Another reason for the lack of success can be attributed to injuries. Starting senior flanker Stefanie Mahan missed each of the first two
Nick Ruffolo games after suffering a facial laceration; sophomore center Madison Kissner missed the second game; and senior prop Alissa Patient did as well. This would not be a problem is most cases, but Mahan is a huge key to the Panther defense. Poor tackling plagued Eastern in the first two games, and one could infer that Mahan’s absence had something to do with that. The only way the team can turn the season around in an instant would be if they decided to halt the rugby sevens and return to the normal format. Luckily for them, when the rugby squad resumes play on Oct. 4, the match will be played in the traditional rugby fifteens format (for the

Martin and Butler led the team offensively with three shots each. Howe led the way for Loyola with a game-high five shots. Three yellow cards were issued in the latter half of the game. Eastern improves to 2-6 this season and is back in action on the road at 7 p.m. Saturday
Koester participated in the first round and shot a 97, but withdrew from play before the second round began. Moncel stressed the importance of other players stepping up and improving their individual play. “We need some people to step up, especially in the four and five

spot,” he said. Eastern Kentucky was the only Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) team in the tournament besides Eastern. It finished in third place out of the nine teams. Eastern Kentucky finished with an overall score of 603 (+27) as
most part). This will allow the Panthers to resume a more comfortable playing style that should pay dividends for the team. Eastern is 0-2 when using the rugby sevens format, and 119-20 without it. Although the sample size for rugby sevens is small, the success in rugby fifteens speaks volumes. Despite all of this, Eastern still has a bright future ahead of them, namely their up-and-coming star Nia Williams. The sophomore center is producing good numbers for the Panthers in only her second season. Williams sports the team-high in tries (three) and points (15) to lead the Panther offense. Expect Eastern to return to their dominant form starting on Oct. 4 against Lindenwood at Lakeside Field. They have the potential to run the table the rest of the way, with no signs of slowing down.

Q & A with...
Abby Saalfrank, freshman setter/outside hitter
Z ACHARY WHITE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Abby Saalfrank, a freshman setter, shows off her 6-foot, 1-inch wingspan. Saalfrank is tied for kills with Reynae Hutchinson at 96 kills on the season.
Freshman has early impact, makes history By Anthony Catezone Assistant Sports Editor
Freshman setter/outside hitter Abby Saalfrank is one of three freshmen starting on the Eastern volleyball team. Saalfrank, a special education major, has been playing volleyball since the age of eight. Already this season, she has recorded two triple-doubles, being the first one to do so since the 1998 season. Saalfrank is tied for the teamlead in kills (96), second in assists (187) and fourth in digs (69). Anthony Catezone: How does it feel for you, as a freshman, to already be starting on the team? Abby Saalfrank: “It’s really an honor and it feels nice to make a big impact. It shows how all my past experiences are finally paying off at the college level.” AC: What have you learned in volleyball that helps you off the court? AS: “The biggest lesson that volleyball has taught me is that you’ll
meet obstacles along the way, but the harder you work to overcome those obstacles, the greater the reward will be.” AC: Why did you decide to come to Eastern? AS: “I come from a small town, so because of the smaller atmosphere and the lower student-teacher ratio, definitely, and they have a really good education program.” AC: What are you most proud of in life? AS: “So far, it’s probably the triple-double against Iowa.” AC: What do your triple-doubles mean to you, especially as a freshman and recording the first since 1998? AS: “I’m proud because I think it shows how hard I’ve worked in the past. Not only this year, but also in past seasons. But it also goes to show how hard I have actually worked this year, how much I’ve been pushed by people around me. I definitely credit my teammates a lot for it, because I couldn’t have done it without them.” AC: Is there anything that you’re
inspired by? AS: “Oh gosh (laughs). I would say just push to be the best, and to do well in everything that I do, whether it’s school, athletics or being a part of my family. I just am inspired to be the best that I can be.” AC: Are there any significant struggles you have had to overcome in your life? AS: “The hardest thing I have ever had to do in volleyball is setting. I know that’s one of the primary skills at my position on the team this year, but I’ve only been setting for a few years. I have always been trained as a hitter, being one of the taller girls, but that is something difficult that I have had to overcome mentally, because I went from always hitting, to be being one of the only setters on the team and I never set before that. It was one the hardest experiences I’ve ever had.” AC: Has anyone helped you overcome that? AS: “My club director and coach that year, he was really tough on
MEN’S SOCCER
me. Almost every coach I have had since then has helped me in that. Bridgette Slack, who played professionally in Germany, is an alumna from my high school and she definitely had a big impact. My aunt was also a setter in high school, so she has helped me a lot.” AC: What can’t you live without? AS: “My family, without a doubt. I am very close with my family, not just necessarily my mom, my dad and my brother, but all the way down to my younger cousins, we’re so close knit with one another.” AC: Who has the biggest influence on you? AS: “My mom is, definitely, she works hard. She is at every one of my volleyball matches, and at the end of the day I know she will always be there for me. She’s definitely been one to push me to my limits” AC: What do you enjoy doing in your free time? AS: “I like watching my brother play baseball a lot.” AC: How old is your brother? AS: “He’s 15.”
AC: So are you pretty much at every one of his games, too? AS: “In the past, yes, because I knew I was going away to school, so I tried to make to as many of his games. But, this year, it’s going to be really hard being four hours away from home.” AC: What are your goals when it’s said and done for you at Eastern? AS: “I want to take away a lot of memories. I look for all our hard work to pay off; we’ll be at the top of the Ohio Valley Conference and make a NCAA appearance. In the education aspect, I definitely want to be the best teacher I can be. AC: Do you have a quote you live by? AS: “Yes, actually. It’s by Vince Lombardi, he said ‘The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.’” Anthony Catezone can be reached at 581-2812 or ajcatezone@eiu.edu

Panthers get win at home Team finishes By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter
Sophomore forward Tayron Martin helped the Eastern men’s soccer team pick up its first win since Aug. 26, defeating Loyola (Ill.), 2-0, Tuesday at Lakeside Field. Martin started the scoring early with a chip over the head of Loyola goalkeeper Peter McKeown five minutes into the game, after a long pass from red-shirt sophomore defender Colin Rook. The Panthers had two other close shots by sophomore forward Will Butler in the first half, trying to extend their one-goal lead, but the wind played a factor, said Eastern men’s soccer head coach Adam Howarth. Butler’s first chance came about 25 minutes into the game when he hit a shot that had the goalkeeper beat, but soared wide right of the goal. Then, Butler hit another shot right of the goal about 37 minutes
into the game. “That’s kind of our luck, we were going against the win in the first half and it was a big factor,” Howarth said. Butler got into the goal box 10 minutes into the second half and had a shot, but the goalkeeper stopped it – the ball smacking off of his face on the ground. Loyola had a chance on goal one minute after Butler’s goal was stopped, as Ryan Howe’s shot flew too far to the right of the goalpost. Another shot for Loyola came off of a cross, as a failed header fell to the feet of Brian Bement right in front of a crowded goal box. Bement slid his shot wide left of the goal. Throughout the game, Loyola tried crossing the ball into the box for a header, but they couldn’t find the heads of teammates. Eastern freshman goalkeeper Garrett Creasor only had to make three
saves in the game. Martin’s second goal came at the 65-minute mark in the game, which sealed the win for the Panthers. Martin dribbled down the left slot of the field and once we got it into the goal box, he cut to his right to fool the defender and took a shot, which ripped into the left corner of the goal past a diving goalkeeper. “I saw the goalkeeper just standing there so I hit it near side and it went in,” Martin said. Loyola switched goalkeepers at halftime, removing McKeown and putting in Tim Dobrowolski. Loyola had six corner kicks in the game, when Eastern didn’t have one, but Loyola couldn’t convert its free kick opportunities into goals. Eastern converted its chances on the field. “We put our chances away today and that was the difference,” Howath said. SOCCER, page 7
second to last By Cody Delmendo Staff Reporter
The Eastern men’s golf team finished up its second tournament of the fall season at the Purdue/Midwest Shootout at Kampen Golf Course on Sept. 16 in West Lafayette, Ind. The Panthers finished the tournament in 8th place out of nine teams with an overall score of 646 (+70). The Panthers as a team shot a 323 in both the first and second rounds. They finished ahead of Chicago State who shot an 869 (+293) as a team. Head coach Mike Moncel was not happy with his team’s performance. “We played like crap,” he said. Valparaiso finished first with an overall score of 598 (+22), while Purdue finished in second place
with an overall score of 600 (+24). Valparaiso was led by Austin Gaugert, who finished with an overall score of 145 (+1). The overall tournament individual leader was Southern Illinois-Carbondale’s Brandon Cauldwell with an overall score of 138 (-6). Eastern was once again led by Kevin Flack who finished 21st individually with an overall score of 155 (+11). Some other notable Eastern players are freshmen Austin Sproles and Oscar Borda, senior Tommy Ponce and sophomore Michael Koester. Sproles finished individually tied for 43rd place with LoyolaChicago’s Charlie Schaffer with a score of 163 (+19). Ponce, Borda and Bradley’s Danny Masrin all finished tied for 45th place with an overall score of 164 (+20). GOLF, page 7
