Officials advise students to be aware of possessions

Government shutdown affects students

By Bob Galuski News Editor, @DE N_News

Between Sept. 23 and Tuesday, multiple thefts from on-campus sites, mostly restricted to oncampus residences, have been reported. Some of the residence areas that have been reported to have thefts include University Apartments, Andrews Hall and Douglas Hall. Each of these incidents are under investigation. Other on-campus locations that have reported thefts include the Doudna Fine Arts Center and the South Quad. Cr i m e Pre ve n t i o n Of f i c e r Dave Closson of the University Police Department said one of the biggest ways to stop theft is by simply locking the door. “Locking your doors is definitely number one, even if you are just going down the hall for a moment,” he said. He also added it is a good idea to not loan out keys to the residence halls and make sure students only let people into the building or their room if they know them. Theft can also be prevented by not letting a large group of people into rooms, or students should make sure they know who

In the heat of the government shutdown that occurred Tuesday, the Veterans Services Office in Thomas Hall was left close to empty. Normally, three students would occupy the office alongside the coordinator to assist military students in transitioning from military to civilian life, but none of the students could go to work Tuesday. The students were hired through federal work-study funds from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, which the shutdown affected, said retired Lt. Col. Stephen Knotts, the coordinator of Veterans and Military Personnel Student Services. Derrick Jackson, a junior communication studies major who works in the Veteran Services Office, said he was disappointed the government shutdown prevents him from working. “I’m just a college student, and money is scarce,” Jackson said. “It is definitely unwelcoming that the government would do this to their employees.” Tuesday marked the first day of the federal fiscal year, and without the approval of the national budget, federal agencies did not have spending authority. This caused the government to shut down and kept more than 800,000 government employees from going to work. Normally, when the government has not completed its budget by Oct. 1, the U.S. Congress approves a continuing resolution extending the deadline to approve spending appropriations, said Richard Wandling, a political science professor and chairman of the political science department. However, President Barack Obama, the democratically driven U.S. Senate and the republican ruled U.S. House of Representatives are battling over the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which greatly contributed to the shutdown, he added. “I understand the reasoning behind the shutdown, but it is frustrating that the government is not able to make a decision,” Jackson said. “I ask that the government be loyal to their employees like I was loyal to them during my deployment.” Jackson was deployed to Afghanistan in 2007. Knotts said he had about half a dozen military students call him Tuesday with concerns on how they would be affected by the government shutdown, especially with resources from the V.A. “The largest concern military students are worried about is financial aid, but these educational benefits from the V.A. are not affected for the month of October,” he said, adding that this includes the GI Bill and the V.A. healthcare system.

Police offer tips for theft prevention

Common items stolen from residences include money, identification, video games and electronics. Crime Prevention Officer Dave Closson said an inventory sheet can help keep track of valuable items especially when leaving for a long weekend or break.

is coming over. Lt. Brad Oyer of the Charleston Police Department said there are ways to stop theft from happening that extend past simply making sure the door is locked. “Take a few minutes before you leave, make sure you check your windows and door to see if they’re locked,” he said. Oyer said smaller items people might not think about are also at risk for theft, and he suggests making sure each of those items are accounted for before and after students leave. “Things like a jar of change,

games, game platforms – make sure they’re hidden,” he said. Closson added anything from cash laying around to identification to bigger assets like video games can be targeted for theft. When classes are out for an extended period of time, such as a break, burglaries are more common, Oyer said. “They know where large groups of students are, and when (students) leave, they like to go shopping,” he said. Although there is extra patrol around those areas during breaks and extended weekends, Oyer

said to still double-check the rooms before leaving. Closson said one way to make sure students know exactly what they have at all times is to keep an inventory sheet. “In the back of the housing manual, there is a property inventory form,” he said. “They can also be picked up at UPD.” Closson said things to list on the inventory sheet should include the make, the model, the serial number, the color, the size and what its value is.

Degree to teach non-traditional education Employment opportunites may increase with approval of program By Robert Downen Administration Editor @Den_News Pending state approval, an experimental new degree program would make Eastern a statewide leader in non-traditional education, a university official said. The new degree, Adult and Community Education, would teach students how to work in adult learning settings, as well as equip them with skills for nonprofit organizations and other non-traditional learning environments.

Stephen Lucas, chairman of the Secondary Education and Foundations department, said the new program, should it pass, would differentiate the university’s approach to adult and nonschool education from that of any other university in the state, as well as most in the nation. Lucas said the program, which does not actually serve as a pathway to receiving teacher certification, was adopted partly as a way of attracting new students to the university. He and other faculty members began examining untapped student demographics in February 2011 as a response to Eastern’s steadily declining enrollment rates. Based on statistics from similar programs in Ohio, Lucas said the

department has projected a minimum of 25 students to enroll in the first semester, which he said he hopes will be next fall. Additionally, he said the Illinois Occupational Employment Projections indicate 4,644 annual job openings in fields related to adult education settings, a number he believes is indicative of the vast employment opportunities that might come with the degree. “There are a number of ways that training in non-school education settings can be applied professionally,” Lucas said. “Whether in adult finance, adult literacy programs or other things, a lot of the necessary skills—lesson plans, designing curriculum—are similar.” By providing an education degree not contingent on teacher

certification, Lucas said the university is opening itself to a huge variety of non-traditional students at the undergraduate level. He said because the new program would be taught by a wide range of faculty from different departments, the university would also enable students to specialize in non-traditional fields. He noted the employment opportunities that would arise from coupling an adult education degree with fields like gerontology, which studies old age. “ T h e e l d e r l y a re t h e b i g gest targets for financial scams,” he said. “So having the skills to teach something like financial education or awareness to them would be hugely beneficial.” DEGREE, page 5

Savannah Kapper, a junior chemistry major, and Cecilia Smith, a junior family and consumer sciences major, demonstrate the merengue to participants Tuesday in the Dance Studio of the Student Recreation Center. The Ballroom Dance Society hosted the lessons for Latino Heritage Month.

Latin dance brings together students, faculty By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News Cecilia Smith, president of the Ballroom Dance Society, stands in the middle of the floor of the Dance Studio in the Student Recreation Center and instructs students and faculty members through dance steps of the Merengue. The Latin American Student Association teamed up with the Ballroom Dance Society to teach students and even a few faculty members how to dance the dance originated in the Dominican Republican. Smith started off with her instructions with a small marching movement that included the swaying of hips. After instruction, Smith would turn on the music from the radio which added energy to the dance moves that students would move their feet and their hips to. Smith continued the dance lessons by adding twists and spins in addition to the small marching of the feet and swinging of the hips. One of those moves that Smith taught was “the pretzel,” which is a combination of spins that lead to the

partners facing back to back. Smith said the pretzel was the dance move that she enjoyed teaching the most.

Merengue is a dance that was originated in the Dominican Republic and its neighbor on the island Hispaniola, Haiti.

“The dance lessons were pretty fun. I liked ‘the cuddle’ and being able to lead [my partner] out.” -Jeffrey Dubois, junior music major “I liked teaching the pretzel, it's so intricate,” she said. Jeffrey Dubois, a junior music major, said he enjoyed the dance lessons. “The dance lessons were pretty fun,” he said, “I liked ‘the cuddle’ and being able to lead [my partner] out.” Dubois, who is also a regular attendee of dance lessons, said that he dances to relieve stress. “I love dancing; it takes stress off me,” he said. Smith said she enjoyed the dance lessons as well. “It was pretty good; we had a lot of our regular students,” she said. According to Smith, the Merengue is an easy dance to teach. “I think I like how easy it is,” she said. “People pick up on it pretty easy.” According to Heritage Institute, the

The Merengue music is sung in Spanish in the Dominican Republic while, the Merengue music in Haiti is sung in Creole. The dance moves consist of hip action and partners holding each other a fair distance apart. The next dance session will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Dance Studio. The Tango will be the subject of that lesson. Students and faculty members interested in attending ballroom dancing sessions can contact the Ballroom Dancing Society through their page on Facebook.

3 businesses to lose their liquor license for 3 days Staff Report The Penalty Box, Mother’s and WB’s Pub and Grub will lose their liquor licenses after failing a compliance check by serving an underage person alcohol. The compliance check, which was performed by the Charleston Police Department and the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, found the Penalty Box, Mother’s and WB’s Pub and Grub to be noncompliant. Mayor Larry Rennels, the city’s li-

quor commissioner, said the three owners admitted to the claims during a hearing on Monday. Rennels said each establishment will have 45 days to pay a $500 fine and will lose their license for three days. “The state law allows them 20 days to appeal to the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, so my suspension can’t start until after they had the opportunity if they chose to appeal,” Rennels said. The three-day suspension will take

effect after that period has ended. Until that time, the business will be able to serve alcohol. Rennels said the penalties depend on the number of previous penalties a business has had during a 12-month period of time. “We always keep an eye on everybody as far as obeying the laws,” Rennels said. “Periodically, we do compliance checks, especially if we get information that leads us to believe there’s a violation.”

Charleston City Council voted against allowing parking on the north side of Woodlawn Drive from 110 feet east of the east edge of Ninth Street to Salem. Residents both opposing and favoring the ordinance to allow parking on the north side presented their case at the meeting on Tuesday in City Hall. The council received a petition from those opposing the ordinance at the meeting. William Addison, a resident on Woodlawn Drive, said he would not want to see the street turn into a parking lot for Eastern students. “Freshman have a parking fee of $200 a year, and if they can park for free on Woodlawn, it would be a good choice for them,” Addison said. Jamie Vilk, another Woodlawn Drive resident, disagreed with the other residents. Vilk said she did not believe students would even park on Woodlawn Drive but would instead park on Village Road. “If we are worried about the issue of college students parking there, they can park on Village, which is closer than Woodlawn, which is where we live,” Vilk said. Melanie Mills, a communication studies professor and a Colony Lane resident, said while she is not a resident of Woodlawn Drive, she has to use it frequently to get out of the neighborhood. “It is not wide enough to go three across, to have traffic in both directions and parked cars,” Mills said. The council members voted against the ordinance unanimously. The council members also approved a resolution for a change order requiring additional work to be done on the Douglas Water Tower that was not seen in the beginning of the project. Those working on the water tower had to reblast the interior of the water tower as well as remove a clear coat on the lettering. The additional work will cost an additional $51,900 added to the original budget of $325,000. The council members also approved a bid award for the sludge removal at the Charleston Water Treatment Plant. It will cost roughly $100,000 to remove the sludge. Mayor Larry Rennels said it had to be done periodically. “The last time it was done was five years ago, and we received a bid for 5 cents per gallon to remove it and haul it away,” Rennels said. A bid for pavement patching in the Woodland Hills Subdivision was also approved. Rennels said the pavement is in need of some work. “It needs to be patched,” Rennels said. “It needs a lot of the pavement cut out and new sections put in its place.” The bid will allow $137,000 to go towards the construction in the subdivision Jarad Jarmon can be reached at 581-2812 or jsjarmon@eiu.edu.

Eldon Hatfield, fourth grader at Jefferson Elementary School, shakes hands with Eastern President Bill Perry during Pizza with the President on Sept. 4. in the South Quad.

Perry prepared for questions By Jarad Jarmon Student Governance Editor @JJarmonReporter Students will have the ability to ask questions and give feedback to President Bill Perry at the second “Pizza with the Prez” gathering. “Pizza with the Prez” will take place at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Taylor Hall lobby. Kathryn English, the student vice president for academic affairs and the event organizer, said diversity on campus will probably be discussed. Perry said he is prepared to talk about whatever students ask, including questions about the diversity on campus and in the Charleston community. He said he was proud of the programs Eastern has in place regarding civility and diversity. “I think we have raised our game so far this fall,” Perry said. He said he would be ready to help or talk about some of the programs. “I think the president of the university must always be prepared,” Perry said. “I don’t do any special review of things because I am keeping up in real time. I am aware of different kinds of statistics and current events on campus as well as off campus.”

Even though all students are allowed to attend, English said they have been trying to focus on getting information out to transfer students as well as students within Taylor. Katherine Denton, a junior English major, said she might ask about his reaction to the diversity issue and plans he might have.

“I might ask him how people have reacted and about how he is feeling about it and about his plans he might have that we could implement,” Denton said. Selena Wilson, a freshman prebusiness major, said she is interested in the safety policies enacted in reaction towards the Barn Party incident. She said she is interested in more detail about the policies from him. Taylor Buliox, a sophomore kinesiology and sports studies major, said she was more interested in seeing what is being done to generate more activities across campus.

“Stuff happens on the weekend, but what about Monday through Thursday?” Buliox said. Denton said she is curious to see how he presents himself in a personal setting. “I just want to see how easy that conversation is going to be,” Denton said. Katelyn Hartke, a junior English major, said she thinks it is a good idea because it allows him to talk directly to the students and not talk to just Student Senate. English said it is good to change up location of the lobby and it insures a smooth gathering despite weather changes. “We are making it more specific,” English said. “We have it so transfer students know about it and make sure transfer students feel comfortable, so we are specific with them, but we are also specific with Taylor Hall,” English said. Perry said “Pizza with the Prez” gives students another avenue to ask about their concerns other than going through the senate. “It gives students an organized way to have a voice,” Perry said.

The role of inactive and wholly defunct university committees was discussed at a meeting of Eastern’s Faculty Senate Tuesday. Grant Sterling, a philosophy professor and chair of the faculty senate, said there are currently multiple committees and sub-committees that have not met for periods as long as 14 years. While the senate did not actually take any action against such committees, members agreed the function of such unnecessary or defunct groups would be addressed in upcoming meetings, pending a review of such boards, as well as the reasons for their long periods of inactivity. Blair Lord, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said in a Sept. 23 memorandum to Sterling that some committees had not met, to his knowledge, since 1990. Discussing the Admissions Appeals Committee, Lord said he had no recollection of action from the group since he began working at Eastern, stating the committee had not met for at least 25 years. Members of the Faculty Senate said they have been involved with similar committees but said the issues often pressed upon such groups did not usually necessitate full committee meetings, but quicker action. Sterling, however, said the lack of communication and oversight has also allowed certain committees to remain inactive for long periods of

time. “The process right now is that someone is in charge of calling the committee to meet, and if they stop calling the committee to meet, then the committee just ceases to function and no one has to communicate information to the senate,” Sterling said. “That’s how we can go year after year after year without anyone realizing they’re not meeting.” He said he plans to start looking at individual committees to see where communications might have ceased in the past. “How long have we been electing people to a committee that has no function and was never meeting?” Sterling asked. “What happened between 1999 and today that the committee stopped functioning?” The senate also heard a brief presentation from Tim Zimmer, the university’s new director of Facilities Planning and Management. Zimmer, who was hired this fall, discussed the university’s ongoing efforts to receive a clean air permit from the Environmental Protection Agency. Zimmer said the university’s Center for Clean Energy Research and Education has been burning wood chips since last week, a process he called “state of the art.” He said he expects to receive an EPA clean air permit by November.

4 OPINIONS STAFF EDITORIAL New policies could also be effective off-campus President Bill Perry announced Thursday new policies that would affect late-night on-campus parties, the biggest one being how the ticket distribution would be handled. The ticket distribution will now be done in advance, online, rather than at the door the night of the party. Perry said this was a way to start the evening off right, without having a crowd of students waiting to enter by buying tickets. This idea can help move along crowds of students waiting to have fun and relieve some of the stress that comes with getting into the parties. While this will alleviate some of the problems associated with on-campus events, the university really cannot dictate this procedure for off-campus parties. However, if this is a solution that begins to work – and it may just be a trial-and-error process – it should be one that is seriously considered for adoption by whoever hosts off-campus events. While every off-campus event planned by school-affiliated organizations does not have tickets, the idea of lessening the rush at the door is a good one to consider. Anything from having people register for the event or sign up could work just as well. Beginning the night off on the right foot can go a long way in making sure the night is as problem-free as possible. Perry also announced the policy of having all attendees present identification to be allowed to enter – whether that is a student’s PantherCard or a guest’s I.D., it is something to keep people accountable. Knowing that you could be responsible for any problems you cause can also be a deterrent for letting things get out of hand. The threat of accountability is a big one people take seriously. If someone thinks they will be caught, it lessens the chance they will actually do something wrong. While some might see a few of the newer policies as unfair – like the restriction to an Eastern student to only bringing one guest, with the exception of certain events, the university has your best interests in mind. The No. 1 concern is safety. By helping lessen whatever burdens may be placed on the event-organizers and the students who want to have fun, it also increases the safety for on-campus events. If these policies prove to be useful and successful in the future, consideration should be taken seriously in how off-campus parties are handled. These policies, which are constantly being revised, are in place to make sure students are being safe and no one is put into a dangerous position. And the university can only do so much. It is up to those planning events off campus to take up whatever the university cannot reach and help make sure students are being safe while here.

Respect your elders; you might learn something Respect your elders; you might learn something. We’ve all been there: stuck in a course we can’t stand. We can’t stand just the material, but the professor or instructor as well. We have no interest in the material and dislike the way the professor or instructor teaches, so we complain about them. We’ve all done it. We’ve all heard others do it. We say things like “Professor (Name) is such a (insert the profanity of your choice). I could teach that class better than her/him.” Just pay attention next time you are walking to class; you would be surprised how common it is. This is something we need to think twice about. I’m not saying you have to like all of your professors all the time — I’m saying be polite. How would you feel if you knew your professors were saying the things you say about them about you? Think about it. That brings me to my next point—you can learn something from everyone. I’m not just talking about our professors on campus; I’m talking about those who are older than us in general. How many times has a professor, your grandparents or just someone you know gone

Amy Wywailowski off on a random tangent about the “old days” or about something that doesn’t even remotely apply to you? It’s another thing we as students and young people in general complain about. But ever really listened to those tangents? I bet you’d learn something from it. Maybe it’s not about your area of study or interest, but it’s about life in general. I’m a history major, so I spend my days studying the things that people long dead have done and why. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished I could pick up a phone and ask “Why?” Recently, for research, I’ve found myself in a variety of interesting places. The first was visiting the final resting places of the participants of the Charleston Riot of 1863. Many of the graves I find are damaged, overgrown and long-forgotten by our time. It

makes me sad, but it makes me want to ask them about their lives. When people volunteer information about their lives, listen and respect them because you might not always have the chance. The second place I recently visited was a beautiful old Victorian house on Seventh Street. You may know it — it’s called the Dudley house and is owned by the Coles County Historical Society. I was there doing research for a project, but I also talked to a member of the society who was my guide and who had retired more than 20 years ago from working in the university president’s office and the University Archives. She volunteered bits and pieces about her time here and living in Charleston. I enjoyed listening, but hearing her speak about the University’s history reminded me something — we are all a part of Eastern’s history. Someday we will look back and think about our time here. Make sure you learned everything you could from everyone you could. Amy Wywialowski is a senior history major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or DENopinions@gmail.com.

We are all wrong sometimes; it’s OK Every time my family gets together, there is a fight. I do not mean that my family starts throwing fists to the jugular, but whenever we have a gathering, an argument is sure to happen. That’s because everyone knows everything in my family. My cousin has watched one baseball game all year and told me that the Cardinals are terrible because Albert Pujols is playing bad. For you non-sport fans, you don’t necessarily have to watch baseball to know who Pujols was, and he has been gone for two years. Plus, St. Louis is in first place. We all have a particular set of skills. These skills make us standout. It adds on to our knowledge base. There are areas that some people know more about certain subjects. That’s because these areas spark our interest, and they take the time to learn it. But then there are the people that think they know everything on a particular subject after reading one article in a magazine about it.

Kyle Daubs That feeling of being right is a particular taste that most of us love to savor. The acceptance of being wrong on an issue is what will start a fight and possibly bring a three-month hiatus of not talking to one another. Think about it. Honestly, how internally mad do you feel when someone is telling you that you are wrong about something? It’s infuriating. I love to argue sports. I will talk baseball or college basketball all day with anyone if they let me, especially if it involves the Ohio Valley or Big Ten Conference. There are times I make mistakes. Most

of the time, if I catch myself, I will apologize and carry on. Every once in a while, my pride will get in the way. Our pride will carry us to far lengths if we want it to. This is like the time I saw two guys argue about who the leadoff hitter for the Chicago White Sox was. The argument escalated to the point that one of the guys landed a couple of punches, and the other guy walked out with a bloody nose. If you are arguing with someone where you know for an absolute fact they are blowing smoke, then all you can do is just nod and laugh about it when they walk away. Those people aren’t worth your time. Debate is entertaining for both ends, including the people that are watching. Don’t let it escalate because you want to be right that much. If you are wrong, you are wrong. Get over it. Kyle Daubs is a junior special education major. He can be reached at 581-2812 or DENopinions@gmail.com.

The Health Education Resource Center and Counseling Center on campus will be hosting numerous sessions to educate Eastern students on the subject of sleep. The first session will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Martinsville Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. This session is a way for students to learn helpful tips when it comes to getting the right amount of sleep. The HERC’s website contains healthy sleeping tips for students. In addition students can get information about the benefits from getting a proper amount of sleep. The website states that getting enough sleep is important for everyone to feel their best during school and everyday life activities. Students who attend the open sleep sessions will learn that when they get enough sleep, their body systems will become regulated and their mood will enhance. Students will also learn that if they do not get enough sleep, their academic performance can be affected and can lead to depression, mood swings and anxiety. Kasey Evans, community organiz-

Oyer said always checking to make sure vehicles are locked can go along way as well. “Anything valuable you might have, you don’t want to keep out in the open,” he said. “Make sure it’s hidden away.” Oyer also mentioned hunting season was coming up and hunters should be especially cautious with

best environment for sleeping conditions. “Students will learn to keep their rooms cool and should turn off all electronics when in the dark,” Evans said. According to HERC’s website, everyone should wake up within 90 minutes of their normal sleeping time every day of the week and go to bed

within one hour of their normal bedtime. The HERC’s website also states that it is necessary to limit the amount of television, Internet and game use before they go to sleep. In addition, the website describes the importance of people developing a routine before bedtime that is relaxing. “The sessions will be open to any student on campus,” Evans said. “Each session will be helpful for students to get some interesting tips on sleep.” The HERC provides students, staff and faculty members with a variety of different health related programs besides sleep. The topics they cover include sexual health, tobacco awareness, alcohol awareness and nutrition facts. For more information regarding the upcoming sleep sessions and other programs, contact the HERC at 217-581-7786. Students can also visit HERC on the top floor of the Student Services building on campus. Miriam Anderson can be reached at 581-2812 or mkanderson3@eiu.edu.

You’re unlikely to have a seventeen year old freshman thinking ‘I want to teach adults.’ However, older groups such as empty nesters would be more comfort-

Obama and Congress agreed to continue defense spending during the shutdown, but it still affects many military students. “Military students who are in the National Guard or are reservists are not drilling and in effect, are not being paid for their part-time job,” Knotts said. “This affects their ability to manage their cost of living.” In addition to working at the Veteran Services Office, Jackson also serves as a Sergeant Team Leader in the U.S. Army Reserve. His reserve unit, which had drilling scheduled for the weekend, was put on standby because of the shut-

down. The last government shutdown occurred in 1995 when former President Bill Clinton was in office and lasted for 21 days. “Eastern, in the short term, is not going to be affected in a significant way by the shutdown,” Wandling said. “However, there are certain departments on campus that have federal grants, and if this becomes long term, they would likely be in peril.” Rachel Rodgers can be reached at 581-2812 or rjrodgers@eiu.edu.

He said there are between 160 and 170 possible places for internships and practicum within an hour from the university—a fact he said will be immensely important as the program develops in coming years.

Regardless of how the program develops, however, he said the ultimate goal will always remain the same: “We want to nurture an academy of life-long learning.”

STAT ATTACK

The Daily Eastern News | SPORTS

Stat Attack is a weekly feature that highlights the key statistics of sporting events. This week we feature football, volleyball and women’s soccer.

FOOTBALL

The Eastern football team leads the nation in interceptions with 11, one more than two-time defending champion North Dakota State. The Panthers’ 11 interceptions are three more than any other Ohio Valley Conference school. Their +9 turnover margin is also tied for fourth best in the nation. Defensive backs Jourdan Wickliffe, Alex McNulty and DJ Bland are all tied with a team-high two interceptions.

VOLLEYBALL

The Eastern volleyball team has won four games in straight set sweeps through 15 games this season. The Panthers have beaten Marist College, Drake, University of Illinois-Chicago and Tennessee-Martin all in three sets this season. Eastern beat just one opponent in three sets all of last season. Senior outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson has 2.88 kills per set, ranking second on the OVC’s top kills per set team.

FOOTBALL

411

Eastern quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads the nation with 411 passing yards per game. The next closest player averages 383 passing yards per game. Garoppolo has a 213-yard-per-game lead on second highest passer in the Ohio Valley Conference. He just entered the 10,000-yard club and is 496 yards away from setting Eastern’s all-time passing record. His 10,159 passing yards has already set the OVC career record.

SOCCER

The Eastern women’s soccer team is on a two-game win streak after picking up its first two wins of the season in Ohio Valley Conference play. The Panthers beat Belmont 1-0 and Tennessee Tech 4-2 Friday and Saturday. The Panthers had previously scored two goals through their first nine games, resulting in a 0-9 start. Eastern is now first overall in the OVC. Reporting by Anthony C atezone; photos by Dominic Baima, jason howell, amanda wilkinson and file photos; Design by sara Hall | The Daily eastern Ne ws

women’s basketball | coach

Buchanan finds new home at LaGrange College By Aldo Soto Assistant Sports Editor @DEN_Sports Former Eastern women’s basketball coach Lee Buchanan is now the head coach for LaGrange College in Georgia. Buchanan resigned as Eastern’s coach in April following the program’s first postseason win. Buchanan spent one year as the Panthers’ coach after spending five seasons as an assistant coach and eventually took over for Brady Sallee in

2012. In April, Buchanan told The Daily Eastern News that with Eastern’s success in the 2012-13 season, other opportunities had been presented to him. In July, he said he was getting calls to teach in college. “I’ve had a bunch of people contact me about teaching at a collegiate level,” Buchanan said. “I’m trying to weigh everything and do what’s right for my family.” He is now at the Division III level. Buchanan said he is looking forward to the

new coaching experience. “I’m ready to shift my focus from Division I to the more student-athlete oriented approach of Division III and for the change in lifestyle that shift allows,” Buchanan said in a press release. LaGrange College, also known as the Panthers, finished 15-11 last season under their former coach Mark Isenhour. Isenhour spent six years coaching LaGrange College and finished with a 98-57 record. LaGrange College’s Athletic Director Jenni-

fer Claybrook said Buchanan’s prior experience would be a positive for the program. “Having Lee arrive to lead our women’s team brings an amazing level of excitement to our program,” Claybrook said. “We look forward to what his broad experience and track record of success will bring to Panther Basketball.” The 2013 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year is entering his 28th year of coaching.

VOLLEYBALL | vs. southern illinois-edwardsville

Panthers sit atop OVC ranks By Dominic Renzetti Managing Editor @domrenzetti The first weekend of Ohio Valley Conference women’s soccer wrapped up on Sunday with Eastern atop the standings. The Panthers were the only team to go 2-0 during the weekend, beating Belmont in overtime on Friday and then running past Tennessee Tech 4-2 on Sunday. Eastern, which missed the OVC tournament last season, was picked to finish ninth in the OVC preseason poll. The Panthers, currently 2-9-0, lost nine straight matches and were shutout seven straight times during that streak. Sophomore Molly Hawkins scored the game-winner over Belmont, while junior Meagan Radloff scored twice in the win over Tennessee Tech. Junior Allie Lakie and sophomore Hannah Miller also added goals against the Golden Eagles Sunday at Lakeside Field. Eastern’s five goals this weekend were the most of any OVC team. Sophomore goalkeeper Cortney Jerzy was named OVC Goalkeeper of the Week for her performances against Belmont and Tennessee Tech. She made 17 total saves, posting her first career shutout against Belmont. Austin Peay opened its season with a win over preseason No. 1 TennesseeMartin, edging the Skyhawks 2-1 in Clarksville, Tenn., on Friday. The Governors played to a 1-1 draw on Sunday against Southeast Missouri. The Panthers and Austin Peay meet Oct. 11 in Clarksville, Tenn. Southeast Missouri picked up a 1-0 win on the road against Murray State on Friday. Of the teams that played two matches this weekend, Southeast Missouri and Austin Peay are the only teams other than Eastern without a loss. Both teams are currently 1-0-1 in conference. Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State both picked up victories over Jacksonville State to start the OVC season at 1-0. Eastern Kentucky beat the Gamecocks 1-0 Friday on the road, while Morehead State won 2-1 on Sunday in Jacksonville, Ala. Jacksonville State is 0-2 to start the conference schedule. Tennessee-Martin beat Murray State 2-1 on Sunday to bounce back to a 1-1 conference record. Murray State is 0-2 to start. Tennessee Tech, 0-1, is the third team along with the Gamecocks and Racers without a win or draw. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Belmont played to a 1-1 tie on Sunday. The Cougars are 0-0-1, while the Bruins are 0-1-1 in conference. Skyhawks midfielder plays in World Cup qualifier Junior midfielder Dominika Conc of Tennessee-Martin competed in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifier on Thursday for her home country of Slovenia. Slovenia beat Slovakia 3-1 in Senec, Slovakia. Conc saw action off the bench for the Slovenian team. Slovenia is in Group 1 of the UEFA qualifying stage along with Germany, Russia, Ireland, Slovakia and Croatia. The FIFA Women’s World Cup begins July 6, 2015 in Canada.

Redshirt senior middle hitter Stephanie Arnold hits the ball in the direction of middle blocker Kristen Torre in a game on Tuesday in Lantz Arena. The Panthers beat the SIUE Cougars 3-1.

Second set comeback sparks win By Anthony Catezone Sports Editor @AnthonyCatz The Eastern volleyball team defeated Southern Illinois-Edwardsville in four sets (25-18, 27-25, 23-25, 2520) in its home opener Tuesday night in Lantz Arena. Coach Kate Price called a timeout as Eastern was 15-10 in the second set against Edwardsville. Despite a first-set win already in their back pocket, the Panthers they could not allow the Cougars to even the match. “The second set is probably the hardest to win, because you won the first one and think the other team is going to rollover, but obviously not, because (Edwardsville) fought harder,” outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson said.

Price told the Panthers to regroup and take a step back and to simply play smarter is what geared them up for the 10-4 run that the Panthers would go on to take, Hutchinson said. Eastern had its first lead of the set at 20-19. But three lead changes and three ties later, Dakota Springer served the ball from Eastern’s end line with the Panthers facing set point, leading the second set 25-24. Springer then recorded her only service error, tying the game at 25. “Everyone knew that was just a fluke, and we were still going to take the set,” Hutchinson said. After Edwardsville had an attack error of its own, Eastern was back up 26-25. Hutchinson then nabbed her fifth kill of the set to give Eastern a 27-25 second-set win. After a third set loss that featured

13 ties and five lead changes, where neither team led by more than two points, Eastern fought back to win the fourth set 25-20 behind a 7-2 run when the set was tied a 10. “We always talk about working to get that next point,” Price said. “It’s the same team we played the set before. We need to go on our own runs. They went on theirs, now we need to narrow that gap and work our way back in.” Eastern improved to 8-8 overall and 2-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, while Edwardsville fell to 5-11 overall and 1-2 in conference. Eastern, the OVC’s top team in hitting percentage, out-hit Edwardsville .256 to .165. Three Panthers had 16 kills in Hutchinson, outside hitter Chelsea Lee and rightside hitter Abby Saalfrank.

Hutchinson’s 16 digs also gave her 31st career double-double performance. Lee now has 206 kills on the season — second in the OVC. And Saalfrank’s .448 attack led all players. Coming off her OVC Setter of the Week, Marah Bradbury dished out 54 assists with three kills and zero errors. The Panthers beat the Cougars in just about every statistic including assists (62-53), digs (66-65), blocks (eight to three) and service aces (five to two). Eastern will host Tennessee State at 7 p.m. Friday in Lantz Arena. Tennessee State is last in the east division and 3-9 overall with a 0-2 conference record.

men’s soccer | conference roundup

Eastern ties IUPUI in league opener By Michael Spencer Staff Reporter @tmskeeper After drawing with IUPUI Sunday, the Eastern men’s soccer team sits in the middle of the Summit League standings. The Panthers sought their first victory but came up just short, finishing 1-1 with the Jaguars that are also winless. The match at Lakeside field was just one of three games across the Summit League for week one of conference play. Oral Roberts opened its campaign against Fort Wayne Sunday,

breaking a 1-1 draw with a goal just one minute into the first extra time period to win 2-1. Western Illinois may have won the league last year, but this season the Leathernecks are off to a slow start as they fell to Omaha 2-1, in its first match of conference play since capturing the title in 2012. Junior midfielder Vance Rookwood was able to put the Mavericks over the line in the 74th minute when he finished a shot off a deflection in the penalty area. Denver did not play a conference match this week, but it did pull off a come from behind victory against California Polytechnic. Senior mid-

fielder Zach Bolden scored the match-winner in the 69th minute. Another weekend of conference games is scheduled to begin Saturday when Eastern will travel to Macomb to play Western. Omaha will see IUPUI and Denver will open its Summit League campaign against Fort Wayne. For Eastern the key is in converting its chances. The Panthers created 19 opportunities in the match with IUPUI, compared with the Jaguars’ 13. “It’s 90 minutes, and we can’t afford to go down a goal and be chasing the game like we were,” Eastern coach Adam Howarth said. “Credit

to our guys who came back and got the tie, but in a lot of ways, it is two points dropped.” The league is structured to offer teams three matches at home and three on the road. Howarth acknowledged that his team will have to collect points on the road in order to make up for its loss at Lakeside Field. “We have to try to steal something on the road to get back in contention,” Howarth said. Michael Spencer can be reached at 581-2812 or tmspencer2@eiu.edu.
