Film stirs debate over student apathy By Robert Downen Administration Editor @DEN_News A film screening and panel discussion Tuesday night originally focusing on nonviolent revolution became a platform for debate over how apathy afflicts Eastern students. The debate, which focused predominantly on how younger generations develop complacency toward social and humanitarian crises, developed after the screening of “How to Start a Revolution,” a documentary detailing the work of Gene Sharp and nonviolent revolution. The film, which was promoted by Students for Peace and Justice, examined the influence of Sharp’s most famous work, “From Dictatorship to Democracy,” on revolutions in Serbia, Syria and Iran, among other places. However, while panel members did spend time reflecting on the film’s central theme—nonviolent revolution— the focus slowly shifted to how revolution can be spread or nurtured on college campuses and throughout younger generations. Charles Delman, a mathematics professor, said while the film conveyed the idea of nonviolence relatively well, the most important revolutions were those that might change domestic policies he viewed as destructive, namely rising inequality levels, global warming and environmental destruction.

“The best way we can help liberate people in other countries is by first liberating the United States,” he said. “We are one of the most destructive countries in the world, and our actions have immediate effects on everyone.” Christopher Hanlon, an English professor, agreed that such revolutions were beneficial but questioned the commitment of Eastern’s students to such action—a point he illustrated by asking why, if the average student views homophobia as morally unacceptable, so many people still frequent the Chick-fil-A in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Hanlon continued, stating he was often concerned with the low levels of political and social engagement on Eastern’s campus, consequently altering the discussion’s focus to how apathy and complacency undermine social movements. Multiple students quickly refuted Hanlon’s claim, citing personal examples of how they affect change in the community, as well as the problems they face as advocates for such revolutions. Karanda Marshall, a senior philosophy major, said minority groups on campus rarely collaborate to bring attention to a specific issue. Marshall, who works with her own green initiative group on campus, said groups need to realize that, while they are individually minorities, they would constitute a majority if they worked together. This, she said, limited the effectiveness

Christopher Hanlon, an English professor, introduces himself to the audience and other panelists after a screening of the film, "How to Start a Revolution." The other panelists are Jinhee Lee, a history professor, Craig Eckert, a sociology professor, and Charles Delman, a mathmatics professor. The film screening and discussion was hosted by Students for Peace and Justice, based out of the Newman Catholic Center.

of smaller groups on campus. “We’re all frustrated. We’re all demoralized, and we all want justice,” she said. “If we only could realize that, together, we are the majority, we could actually accomplish that.” However, many students also agreed with Hanlon’s claim. Asked what he thought was the best way to combat such mentalities, he advised reading. “Literature is fermented revolution,

“ he said. “Reading teaches us empathy and acceptance. If you want people to care, get them to read.” Craig Eckert, professor and chairman of the sociology department, elaborated on Hanlon’s point, though he said trying to tackle a plethora of causes would only exacerbate a person. Instead, he said wholeheartedly committing to one issue and going beyond simple discussions was the best

approach to accomplishing social revolution. “We don’t need more PhDs… we need people out there with heart,” he said. “The best revolutionaries are not found in academia.” Robert Downen can be reached at 581-2812 or at jrdownen@eiu.edu.

‘Invisible Children’ Students reinforce self-esteem in children to examine By Jarad Jarmon Student Governance Editor @JJarmonReporter The Alpha Phi Alpha alumni chapter Zeta Xi Lambda and Student Senate co-sponsored a project to emphasize the importance of self-esteem to eight children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization Tuesday. In the Sullivan Room and Charleston-Mattoon Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, students ages 9- to 14-years-old in elementary schools in Mattoon and Charleston were taught the significance of keeping oneself clean and groomed. The boys were told how crucial things like deodorant are to stay clean and fresh. The male volunteers also demonstrated how to use these cleaning supplies properly. The female volunteers explained feminine products to the girls. Jason Enyart, a Big Bothers Big Sisters enrollment and matching specialist, said a lot of these children come from less privileged back-

grounds where grooming is not a priority in the home. Andre Allen, a kinesiology and sports studies graduate student, said these children are getting to the age when body odor and acne begins to get noticed. “Kids can be cruel these days. We all know sometimes we may not all get the same grooming tips from our household,” Allen said. “If we can provide those tips that they may not be getting at home, our job here is accomplished.” Jill Schafer, a customer relations specialist for the organization, and Kelly Hardy, a match support specialist, noticed these children lack selfesteem, which is evident when they wrote three things they liked about themselves. None of the three girls wanted to write down anything because they did not believe they had good qualities. As the volunteers spoke to them, they progressively spoke more and talked about good qualities within themselves. Even though there were original-

ly suppose to be 29 children coming, Hardy said it worked out really well to have only eight children. She added it makes the whole experience more personal. Yameira Church, a sophomore English major, said some of the girls probably would not have talked in big groups. “There was a very shy little girl there, and I think with more children, it would’ve been hard to really get to her and get her out of her shell,” Church said. “By the end of it, she was making jokes and laughing.” Schafer said she thinks the one-onone interaction helped the kids realize the good qualities about themselves they may not think about everyday. The children were given bags filled with hygiene products like AXE body wash and toothpaste at the end. Hardy said many of these kids do not have access to these resources and products.

Africa’s conflict Staff Report An on-the-road team from the Invisible Children organization and native Ugandan Scovia Angiro will be presenting Africa’s 20-year conflict. The presentation will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Campus Christian House. During the presentation, a film will be screened along with information about the 20-year conflict caused in central Africa by the Lord’s Resistance Army. The Lord’s Resistance Army is a terrorist group in central Africa that has been abducting children and forcing them into child slavery as soldiers or sex slaves for more than 20 years, Danah Himes, the associate campus minister, said in a release. She added the Invisible Children organization has been working to disband the Lord’s Resistance Army. Himes said this presentation

would be good for students in all majors, as they live in a globally connected world. She said students who come can be challenged to relate various aspects of the presentation to their particular field. The organization is one that works with education facilities to spread their message. “Invisible Children has worked significantly with schools and has had great success in motivating today’s youth to make a difference in our world,” Himes said in the release. In conjecture with the Invisible Children presentation, there will also be a fundraiser to help rehabilitate the child soldiers of the Lord’s Resistance Army. The fundraiser, “BE SEEN @ the JAC,” is at 6 p.m. Tuesday and will feature live music, silent auctions and a raffle to help bring in funds for the rehabilitation.

Drama Day to teach about acting Thomas to host harvest By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News

The Theatre Arts Department will be interacting with high school drama students before the presentation of the Little Shop of Horrors Thursday at 5 p.m. in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The Theatre Arts Department will be dedicating an entire day to interacting with high school student by hosting an event called High School Drama Day. The Theatre Arts Department will be instructing the high school students in a series of workshops that will focus on drama. In addition, high school students will also get a chance to attend an open dress rehearsal of the musical, “Little Shop of Horrors.” There will be two sessions for the high school students to participate in. Also, there will be multiple workshops covered over two 45-minute sessions. Damita Lewis, the office manager for the Theatre Arts Department, said

the presentation of this event will give high school students a chance to experience a theatre production outside of their school. In addition, Lewis said the workshops will give the students a chance to interact with each other, as well as learn new techniques and tips that will help them improve their acting skills. “Many students have never seen a theatre performance outside their high school production,” she said. The high school students will also get tips from some of the students in the department. “This gives students an opportunity to see the next level one can take in theatre, talk with our students about theatre (and) learn some basic applications to improve their performance at their current level.” High school students are not the only individuals who will get a chance to learn a few techniques and tips from this workshop. Lewis said Eastern theatre students will get a chance to experience what it's like to teach theatre act-

ing skills. “Eastern students gain experience in teaching what they've learned in their course work,” she said. There will be 10 different high schools attending the workshops. The 10 schools include schools from the northern Chicago area. The categories of workshops that students will participate in include make up, costumes, props and performance, and students will even get a chance to take a tour behind the scenes of the musical. The high school Drama Day has been an event popular with the high school students and their teachers for six years, Lewis said. Lewis said prior to the fall 2011 school year, the program was only open to the high school teachers. The theatre department is expecting 286 students and their teachers to attend this event with eight schools on the waiting list. Marcus Curtis can be reached at 581-2812 or mlcurtis@eiu.edu.

ARTS

Celebration to showcase works By Dominic DeMondo Staff Reporter @DEN_News The works of Eastern faculty members will be on display for the campus community to view and discuss. The exhibit will take place from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The Celebration of Publications, Creative Works and Grants, organized by the administrative assistants from the four colleges and Booth Library, gives faculty and the student affairs staff an opportunity to showcase any works from their area of research. They honor faculty achievements in the area of research and creative activity over the past year of work, said Bonnie Irwin, the dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, in an email. This event has gone on for several

years now, and it is a chance to celebrate and encourage further faculty accomplishments, Irwin said. This event started many years ago as a partnership between the College of Sciences and the Colleges of Arts and Humanities. Now, it has expanded to all four colleges, and, last year, the student affairs staff was included with their published works. “Many of them are leaders in their fields, and this event allows the campus community to see the results of their work in the disciplines,” Irwin said. Irwin said other faculty members can also get ideas from their peers’ works. “It also allows faculty to learn what their colleagues in other departments are doing and maybe discover a way in which they can work together on projects,” Irwin said.

Irwin said it was encouraged that anyone interested in creative activity at Eastern should consider attending. Irwin said students can learn more about their professors and some future options in that career field. “I hope any students who attend will learn what is possible in their chosen major and the contributions that their faculty make professionally,” Irwin said. Students will have the opportunity to look at the works, ask questions of those authors or artists, and learn more about what is going on in the colleges. “I always walk away from the event both impressed and inspired by the sheer amount of work displayed as well as the quality of that work,” Irwin said. Dominic DeMondo can be reached at 581-2812 or djdemondo@eiu.edu.

SIX PACK SERIES

HERC to challenge alcohol myths By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News Myths about the effects of alcohol will be clarified by the Health Education Resource Center at its alcohol awareness forum at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Coleman Hall Auditorium. The HERC will be hosting another interactive “Six Pack Series” lecture; this time, the topic of discussion will be “Myth Busting Alcohol,” also known as Expectancy Alcohol Literacy Curriculum (ECLAC). Rachel Hille, the alcohol and substance abuse education coordinator, said this forum would explore what students think about the effects of alcohol in comparison to what the scientific studies reveal about the effects of alcohol. “Mythbusting alcohol is a program that educates and challenges students on their expectations of the effects of alcohol versus the pharmacological effects of alcohol,” she said. In addition, Hille said this lecture would also discuss how the media plays a role in influencing the expectations of the effects of alcohol. Hille said the 2012 CORE Alcohol and Drug Survey revealed that 79.1 percent of Eastern students consumed alcohol within 30 days of the survey. The results from the alcohol survey motivated the creation of this topic in the “Six Pack Series.” “While (the results from the alcohol and drug survey) could be more or less now in 2013, it illustrates the fact that a large portion of EIU students are drinking.”

She also said the information that will be presented may decrease the consumption of alcohol from students. “It is important for students to be educated about their alcohol expectancies versus the pharmacological effects of alcohol, because those expectancies influence their drinking behavior,” she said. The idea for the “Six Pack Series” came from Western Illinois University. Hille said the HERC came up with the idea to start a lecture on the topic of alcohol for students to receive constant information that would stick in their minds. “The Six Packs series was observed at Western Illinois University,” she said. “The HERC decided to further implement the series here at EIU so that there was a curriculum that students could attend and learn from the topic regarding alcohol.” The alcohol mythbusting program was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an Exemplary Model program for reducing alcohol use among college populations, according to Hille. Even though alcohol consumption is clearly for individuals who are 21 years old and older, Hille said everyone is welcome to attend the alcohol education lecture. “Any and all students are welcome,” she said. Hille said students can look forward to a interactive session, as well as a thought challenging information, in reference to alcohol, when they attend “Six Pack; Myth Busting Alcohol.”

Presidential review

Jason Howell | The Daily Eastern Ne ws

President Bill Perry talks with a group of faculty members after his speech at the faculty reception in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union on Tuesday. Perry’s speech, titled “The Year Before Us,” focused on developments at the university over recent months, as well as the issues faculty and administrators may face as they continue through the school year. Perry said, so long as Eastern’s faculty continues in what he said was a dedication to students and learning, the university would continue to thrive, regardless of challenges.

NO. 47, Volume 98

STAFF EDITORIAL Letter to the Editor Hencken’s enthusiasm is great for admissions Article sparks question in sports ethics I’m going to put a target on my back here and talk about something that I know nothing about, but it’s something I’d like to discuss: fraternities. After reading Ms. Holstrom’s article “Fraternizing with the Enemy,” I was left with a little more than a taste of discontent. I’ve no qualms with the story itself or the way it was written, but rather its content. While I’m not Greek affiliated, I can speak on some of the ethics reported. I support Eastern’s athletics and the individuals that comprise our teams, and I support rooting them to victory. I can understand the kinship and bonds that come from fraternities, but at sporting events, there’s a line to be drawn. We’re familiar with heckling at sporting events; calls like “hey, batter, batter!” However, before utilizing information on players’ personal lives, spectators should be more judicious. “Getting into someone’s head” can be an interesting psychological ploy, but doing so in order to win a game? That I have problems with. If I root for my home team and we win, can I attribute that to Eastern’s dedicated players, or is it because we were able to “bully” the opponent into a less formidable one? I’m not sure I’d call that a victory. Add in the stress that comes with playing a game and that can be extremely demoralizing to a person. The line between heckling and bullying may be a nominal inquiry, but I think it’s a discrepancy to be clarified. Yes, we want more people in the stands cheering on our athletes. But it seems to me that this brings it at the expense of the players’ self-esteem and the thrill of sports that attracts people in the first place. Spectators should go to the games so our Panthers can “defend our house,” not because it’s a free pass to jeer others. In the article, Athletic Director Barbara Burke says “our students are very respectful of our guests…,” I’d like to respectfully disagree. As a political scientist, I’m familiar with knowing politician’s personal and public lives, where they intersect in media, and where they shouldn’t. Athletes aren’t public figures in the sense that we look up to them, but I think there’s a corollary to be made. So “brothers,” and the Eastern spectator audience, let’s be respectful—for the love of the game.

If you read The Daily Eastern News, you are likely very familiar with the ongoing enrollment woes with which the university has been dealing. You are also likely familiar with the number of approaches adopted by the university to alleviate the problems, as well as the eventual consequences that could come should enrollment continue to dwindle. When our staff first reported Brenda Major would be leaving her position as Eastern’s director of admissions, we had many questions: how would university admissions function without a director? Is the enrollment problem really the fault of one position? Or is it a multifaceted quagmire far too complex to place on the shoulders of one position? Needless to say, we had our doubts. Enter Lou Hencken. Hencken, who was appointed as interim director of admissions early last week, is already quite familiar with the ins and outs of the admissions process, having overseen them as vice president for student affairs and then as Eastern’s president until 2008. We believe that experience could prove crucial to readjusting the university’s

approach to the admissions problem. Of course, Hencken will only remain in the position briefly—a sentiment he has repeatedly expressed. Nonetheless, his appointment ensures that the next admissions director, whomever it may be, will be able to, in Hencken’s words, “hit the ground running” when they arrive next May. Hencken has already exhibited a unique enthusiasm toward the position—a characteristic that is hardly shocking to those who have ever met him. We believe that, while it may not transfer into direct policy changes in admissions, Hencken’s enthusiasm and leadership will only benefit the university’s ailing admission rates. Last week, we reported Hencken’s hopes to include more faculty and staff in the admissions process—an idea he said would only perpetuate the small class sizes and individual attention that largely define Eastern. We agree completely.

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

DRAWN FROM THE EASEL

Ryan Freer, political science major

Virtually every student on this campus has, at some point in their collegiate career, had professors who have gone above and beyond what their position asks of them. These professors inspire us; they motivate us; they make us better. So, why would the university not utilize them? By including faculty members who share Hencken’s enthusiasm and love for the university, our admissions office only strengthens perception of the university. After all, at what other school could a high school student walk the campus quad with a former university president? At what other university could parents sit down for lunch with a professor who might teach their child the next fall? We’re inclined to believe such experiences are few and far between outside Eastern. Above all else, Eastern’s ability to focus on individual students differentiates it from many other universities. With that in mind, Hencken, as well as his ideas, seem perfect fits for the admissions office, even if they will be rather short-lived.

Today’s quote: "People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.”- Zig Ziglar

Social orbit theory: how to communicate Relationships, in my opinion, are what give real give meaning to our lives. Relationships with our parents, relationships with our friends, even relationships with our pets have an impact on who we are and who we become. So, my question to you is why do we all make long-distance relationships such an issue? It’s 2013. We have Skype now. What we would consider long-distance relationships in the 1940s was just considered a relationship at the time. It’s almost as if all of the technology we have today somehow impedes people from deciding to go for the feared long-distance relationship. It is said that absence makes the heart grow fonder; is this a sentiment that we have abandoned? I have heard more than just a handful of people say, “Well, I do like him/her, but they graduate at the end of the year, and I’ll still be here.” How and why should this matter? Yes, it is unfortunate to not be able to see and be with the person you care about every single day, but that’s life. Why with sev-

Taylor Davis en months of the year left does it scare people that someday they won’t be able to spend time together daily? This is something we should inevitability be preparing for in every relationship. Technological advancements in communication should be bringing all of us closer and closer together, and it is in most cases but this phenomenon of fear of long-distance romance seems to only be growing. Perhaps the huge upswing in communication styles between friends using devices like cell phones, computers, iPads, etc. has emphasized what it means to become “friends” to the extent that using these means of communi-

cation to relate to someone on a deeper level scares some. Perhaps it is that because of the ease in which people communicate people fear that shallow relationships will break because of the sheer number of other people forcing their way into our daily lives. My thinking is that with these devices, we would seem more and more close, personal relationships developing, but what I have observed is surprising less boyfriend/girlfriend relationships starting and more friend circles widening and growing. We will be the first generation of adults that can still communicate with that one guy who you sat with in junior high lunch as we can with our parents. Will this strengthen those relationships? Will this weaken our face-to-face relationships? Only time will tell. Taylor Davis is a senior communication studies major. He can be reached at 581-2812 or DENopinions@gmail.com.

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, men’s basketball, rugby and men’s soccer.

FOOTBALL Eight different players on the Eastern football team have scored a touchdown this season. The Panthers have scored 48 total touchdowns this season. Red-shirt junior running back Jimmy Lera was the eighth player to score a touchdown for the Panthers with a three-yard run in the 55-33 win over Southeast

Missouri on Homecoming Weekend.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The Eastern men’s basketball team was

picked to finish 10th in the Ohio Valley Conference preseason polls. The only teams picked to finish below Eastern were Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Tennessee Tech. Eastern finished seventh in the conference last season after losing as the No. 7 seed to Southeast Missouri in the first round of the OVC

tournament.

RUGBY The Eastern rugby team scored a season-

high in its 61-0 win against Kentucky Saturday. It was the Panthers’ first win of the season. They had only scored a combined 47 points in their previous six games. It was Eastern’s highest scoring output since its 93-19 win against Georgia Tech on Nov. 11, 2012 to end last season.

MEN’S SOCCER Forward Garet Christianson has scored six goals in seven games for the Eastern men’s soccer team since returning from injury. He leads the Summit League in goals and points (15). The red-shirt sophomore scored the game-winning goal with 48 seconds remaining in double overtime in the 2-1 win over Oral Roberts. It was the Panthers’ first win of the season.

men’s soccer

Team to build on first win By Bob Reynolds Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports Coming off its first win of the season against the Kentucky Wildcats, the Eastern rugby team has many things to build on for the rest of the season. The Panthers shut out the Wildcats 61-0, and Eastern coach Frank Graziano said the confidence has improved. “That can only be accomplished by doing the right things and actually executing the plays and producing a win,” he said. “I think we, as a team, and certainly some girls individually, took a big step forward in the confidence department. That allows me to build from a teaching standpoint during the course of the week.” Junior Ellen Wilson, who currently leads Eastern in tackles with 63, recorded an assist and her first try of the season in the game against the Wildcats. The Panthers had four players with double-digit tackles, including newcomer senior Emily Fitzgerald, who recorded 17, and now has 46 on the season. After the big win against the Wildcats, the Panthers will maintain an even keel for the next game, according to Graziano. “As quickly as they start to get ahead of themselves in practice, I will pull them back pretty quickly,” he said. He said his team is going to need a better performance the next game. Graziano said the girls showed their toughness in the last game. “I think when we needed to have toughness in there when they kept running it at us, I certainly think we proved we can be tough enough to do all of that,” he said. “We tackled better than I thought we would, so that was a huge plus.” The Panthers scored 11 tries and recorded eight assists on those tries. Both are season highs for the team. Also, Eastern recorded 14 runs of more than 20 yards, including freshman Tracey Armstrong who had three. Sophomore Hannah Vieth currently leads Eastern with 21 points, while red-shirt freshman Miranda Hankins is second with 20. Graziano said he was impressed with how the women were throwing the ball around the field and that it was the best they have done it all season, despite the wet conditions in Lexington, Ky. “We were certainly looking to run the ball,” he said. “The ball got very heavy after a while. We were rotating balls in and all of them got really wet. The ball never bounced, because the grass was wet, so we were forced to run.” Wednesday’s game against Lindenwood has been cancelled. The Panthers will be looking to add another game on the schedule, Graziano said. Bob Reynolds can be reached at 581-2812 or rjreynolds@eiu.edu.

Eastern falls to Northern in Dekalb By Michael Spencer Staff Reporter @tmskeeper Northern Illinois’ goalless streak stretched to 435 total minutes before the Huskies’ junior forward Isaac Kannah ended the drought by beating Eastern goalkeeper Ben Feltes to put his team up 1-0. The Huskies went on to defeat Eastern 3-0 in a non-conference matchup Tuesday night in DeKalb. Eastern (1-10-2) was not run off the field by Northern on the stat sheet. The Panthers tied on the number of shots taken in the match and also had more penalty kick opportunities in the game. Eastern went back to a faster lineup that head coach Adam Howarth has used in recent weeks. Junior midfielder Jake Brillhart generated two shot opportunities in keeping with his trend toward positive of-

fensive production in the team. Kannah scored two goals in the game and put two shots on target for Northern. Eastern started the match on the right foot as the team had several possessions that ended in offside calls. However, Northern regained the advantage, and Kannah managed to take the ball off a Panther defender just inside the box and then finished a shot to give the Huskies a single goal advantage in the 24th minute. A period of parity ensued with both teams making a concerted effort to score the second goal. Nor thern managed to break through past Eastern as Kannah scored his second goal in the 45th minute. He managed to get on the end of a ball crossed into the box to put Northern up two goals before going

into the locker room. The Panthers came out with the early advantage as the team created chances while the Huskies struggling to get forward and affect play in Eastern’s defensive third. However, a play in the 63rd min-

ute saw junior defender Dusty Page finish a corner that he managed to turn towards goal from just outside the six-yard box. Eastern struggled to create more chances after conceding the third goal of the match. Play deteriorated as the Panthers committed several fouls in the last half-hour of the contest. Northern managed to coast to a 3-0 win, pushing Eastern over the 10-loss total for the 2013 season. Next on the schedule is leagueleading Denver for the Panthers scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m. in Coloarado. The Panthers found their first victory last weekend in another Summit League matchup.

Panthers place second to last at Dayton By Dan Hildebrandt Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s golf team wrapped up tournament play on Tuesday with a 17th place finish out of 18 teams and a two-day score of 673 at the Dayton Fall Invitational. For the fourth consecutive tournament, junior Tiffany Wolf was the low-scorer on the team with a 162. Wolf tied for 35th overall at the NCR Country Club in Dayto, Ohio. Freshman Lexi Hammerton scored just one shot higher than Wolf with a 163 leaving her with a share of 40th. Senior Elyse Banovic shot 170 leaving her tied at 72nd overall. Shooting a two-day score of 178

was freshman Alex Pickens giving her sole possession of 89th. Finishing tied for 93rd with a score of 182 was freshman Erika von Ittler. Banovic said she was not satisfied by the team’s performance, but that the team will be ready to redeem itself come the spring season. “We didn’t play very good,” Banovic said. “I think we are all looking for an opportunity to redeem ourselves.” Detroit took home first place honors for the invitational shooting a 610, which was nine strokes better than second place Evansville and 12 strokes better than tournament-host Dayton. Chicago State finished fourth with

a two-day score of 630, while Marshall finished just one stroke behind at 631 placing them fifth. Loyola finished with tournament score of 633 leaving them in sixth. Northern Kentucky took seventh at 641. Valparaiso finished eighth shooting a 644, and right behind them was IPFW at 645. On the tail of IFPW came St. Francis of Pennsylvania shooting 646 finishing 10th. Robert Morris, of Pennsylvania, Dayton B, and IUPUI tied for 11th with equal scores of 649. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville finished 14th shooting a two-day score of 654. Ten strokes behind Edwardsville was Youngstown State and IllinoisChicago at 664, leaving both teams

with a share of 15th. Green Bay finished last with a tournament score of 681. Going into the offseason, the Panthers will be working hard to get ready for the spring, Banovic said. “During our offseason, we will individually practice and work on our swing and work on short game if we get the opportunity,” Banovic said. “We also have work outs.” The Dayton Fall Invitational was the last tournament for the women during the fall portion of the season. The team will resume play in the spring of 2014. Dan Hildebrandt can be reached at 581-2812 or djhildebrandt@eiu.edu.
