“TELL THE TRUTH AND DON’T BE AFRAID”
‘Barn Party’ hearing, appeal concludes; consequences effective immediately By Bob Galuski News Editor | @DEN_News
Eastern concluded its review of the “Barn Party” incident involving Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, and a suspension of the fraternity until the spring semester of 2019 will be upheld and effective immediately. Pat Early, the assistant vice president of communications, marketing and brand strategies, sent out a press release Thursday saying the recommendation of the Student Standards Board that the
fraternity did violate the Student Conduct Code has been upheld and the fraternity has been suspended until the conclusion of the spring semester of 2019. The release also stated that at the end of the suspension the fraternity could request consideration for reinstatement. In addition to the suspension, the fraternity must complete 300 hours of community service in Charleston and pay restitution of $2,000 to Charleston. The review of the “Barn Party” incident includ-
ed a hearing by the Student Standards Board and a subsequent appeal. President Bill Perry said in the release the full appeals process has now been completed and the fraternity has received official notice of its suspension, which takes effect immediately. “The vast majority of our students work hard in their academic programs and participate in the community in a very positive fashion,” Perry said in the release. “But, occasionally we see behavior which we cannot condone and will not tolerate. When that happens, we have a responsibility to
take firm action in response.” The conclusion of the appeals process comes a few days after a petition for an appeal of the suspension began circulating online, through The Petition Site website. In the petition, which, as of press time had 834 electronic signatures, the authors called for an appeal on the grounds of the sanction being inappropriate for the violation.

Pemberton frightens for philanthropy
By Jarad Jarmon Student Governance Editor | @DEN_News
Students go through haunted house for Halloween Students and others around the community spilled outside of the Pemberton Hall Main Entrance in order to encounter monsters at the haunted house Thursday. The Pemberton Hall Council wanted to stray away from the ghost stories, which surrounded the building allure, but nevertheless succeeded in striking fear in some of those who took a tour through the basement. In groups of six, students who participated after signing a waiver would first go through the elevator doors leading them through the main hall of the basement, which was filled with blood-crazed butchers, terribly-unfunny clowns and recently-arising zombies. The tour would roughly take four to five minutes to go through and make it to the end. Some students like Jada Swendsen, a sophomore family and consumer sciences major, found the elevator ride down to be the scariest part of the entire tour. The basement itself added to some of the allure for the haunted tour. Swendsen said she found the basement added to the scenes. Clowns got the best of some students like Megan Maybell, a junior family and consumer sciences major, who said the clowns got her to scream easily. “I just don’t do clowns,” Maybell said. Jordan Brown, a senior family and consumer sciences major, who helped in planning the haunted house, said it took roughly seven hours across three days to set up the scenes.

Students wait in an elevator with an elevator attendant wearing a metallic skull mask to descend into the Pemberton basement for Pit of Despair Thursday. Participants had to pay $2 or donate a canned food for admittance.
The Pemberton Resident Assistants helped out in the basement, playing as the clowns, butchers and zombies. The clowns would be popping balloons while the zombies would be rattling chains and stomping on floor boards to instill fear into those who would pass by. Students would pay $2 or a can of nonperishable food. The proceeds from the night would all go to the Public Action to Deliver Shelter in Mattoon.
The shelter operates as an emergency shelter and a soup kitchen for those who do not have homes. Paul Rilett, the executive director of the shelter, said he hoped to see more canned vegetables because they are hard to come by. The money raised will go toward their capital building campaign. “Right now, we a currently trying to work on getting a new building,” Rilett said. “We only have 16 beds, and this year we have had to turn away a bunch of families because we
don’t have the space.” He said he was excited because after 30 minutes, the people handing out safety waivers ran out of the 150 waivers they had on the desk. Jarad Jarmon can be reached at 581-2812 or jsjarmon@eiu.edu.
CPD issues report of counterfeit bills By Robert Downen Administration Editor | @DEN_News
The Charleston Police Department is currently investigating multiple reports of counterfeited money throughout the Charleston area over the last several days. The bills, which are primarily $10s and $20s, have been circulating through businesses throughout Charleston this
week. Lt. Brad Oyer of the Charleston Police Department said he could not confirm exactly how many bills had been retrieved, though he said the amount indicate there are likely more circulating throughout the community. Oyer said his department was very committed to apprehending the person responsible for the forgeries, noting the severity of the crime often necessitates
involvement from the Secret Service. “Our goal is to make the community aware of the problem,” he said. “This is a very serious crime, and we are looking into it very seriously.” According to a press release issued by the Charleston Police Department Thursday, the bills can be identified by their lack of reflective characteristics, as well as other discrepancies that have not been released at this time.
“The most obvious indication these bills are counterfeit is the Lady Liberty torch and the number ‘10’ on the 10 dollar bills, and the eagle and number ‘20’ on the 20 dollar bills are supposed to have a reflective characteristic,” the press release stated. “These reflective areas are generally located on the front of the bill toward the bottom right side. These reflective characteristics do not show up on the counterfeit bills.”
The police department has encouraged all individuals and local businesses to pay special attention to cash payments, as well as to mark any bills to ensure their authenticity. Those who find counterfeit money are encouraged to keep the bill and report it to the Charleston Police, as well as try to remember any descriptive information of the individual. MONEY, page 5
