The Charleston Fire Department and Ameren responded to reports of a gas leak at the corner of Ninth Street and Garfield Avenue at 1 p.m. Friday. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic was rerouted around the affected area as a precaution until 2:35 p.m. when the leak was stopped. An onsite gas supervisor with Ameren said that A&R Mechanical Contractors, while working on the steam pipes that run from Eastern’s Center for Clean Energy Research and Education, cut the edge of a 2-inch gas main.
CFD, Ameren respond to gas leak By Staff Report The Charleston Fire Department and Ameren employees responded to a gas leak at the intersection of Ninth Street and Garfield Avenue at 1 p.m. Friday. The A&R Mechanical Contractors crew drilled through the edge of the 2-inch main pipe while working on fixing the steam tunnels, which run from the university’s Center for Clean Energy Research and Education. Steve Bennett, the Assistant Fire Chief of the Charleston Fire Department, said the
firefighters monitored the gas meters in the area and found no traces of gas other than in the hole where the gas line was hit. “It was basically being diffused in the air enough to where the only readings was right at the hole,” Bennett said. “There was really no danger; we just shutdown the area as a precaution.” The intersection was partially opened at 2:35 p.m., and people were allowed to go through again. The on-site Ameren gas supervisor said it took a little while to start fixing the line be-
cause they had to make sure the valve would shut off the gas line. To fix the line, they cut behind where the line was hit and fused on a new cap. When the gas line was shut off, the Greenwood School House Museum was the only Ameren customer who did not have access to gas for the allotted time. The intersection was fully opened at around 3:30 p.m. after the Ameren crew fixed the pipe.
Applications for Eastern students graduating at the end of this semester are due by Wednesday. All applications should be submitted through the university’s PAWS system and will include a degree requirements review sent by the Graduate School. The review tracks each student’s progress toward graduation and will be mailed to students. The university currently requires every student to submit at least three articles to their Electronic Writing Portfolios as well. To stay on track, two papers should be submitted before students have earned 60 credit hours. The third, however, can be submitted at any time before graduation. The Electronic Writing Portfolio only accepts one paper per class; however, multiple papers per semester may be submitted. Two ceremonies for fall commencement will be on Dec. 14, with students from the Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Sciences and College of Arts and Humanities celebrating at 10 a.m. Students from the College of Education and Professional Studies, College of Sciences, and the School of Continuing Education will be walking at 1 p.m. Students wishing to participate in commencement are expected to a rent a cap and gown from Herff-Jones, the university’s preferred vendor, which can be fulfilled on the Eastern website.

GLAM models strut in sin for fashion show Performances bring to life seven deadly sins By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor | @DEN_News The GLAM Fashion Agency modeled their unique fashion designs and ripped the runway at their “7 Deadly Sins” themed fashion show. Displaying abstract and modern fashion styles Friday in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, the agency also had participants perform dance selections as the “7 Deadly Sins” morphed into more of a haunted theme. Each scene in the fashion show was dedicated to an individual deadly sin: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. The lust scene was filled with risqué dance movements and interactions between male
and female models. The scene started with a small burlesque dance scene from half-dressed female models in leotards and lingerie. Later, half-dressed male models entered the scene. The lust scene garnered a few whistles and cheers from the audience. When models would walk to the end of the runway, there were words of encouragement and recognition shouted from the crowd as well. Models interacted with the crowd by walking through the aisles of the seats in the Grand Ballroom. The burlesque dance routine complimented by the partially clothed models captured the focus of the lust scene.
