Eastern to honor veterans Old Main to host Veteran’s Day ceremony

By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor

“I can say about three things: happy, excited and ecstatic,” redshirt junior wide receiver Erik Lora said. “We were one of the few teams that believed in ourselves. We came to work, we had a great summer camp and a great fall camp and we came out to win the OVC.” Lora led the Panthers second half scoring outburst, as he became the OVC single-season record holder for receiving yards in a season. Lora totaled 178 yards and a touchdown on 15 receptions, and now has 1,479 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 115 receptions.

“You would pay a lot of money to watch Erik Lora play football,” Babers said. “That’s what studentathletes are all about. He is unselfish; team first and there is no ‘I’ in Erik Lora. Any accolades he gets, any awards he gets, he deserves it.”

With the win, the Panthers improve to 7-3 overall and 6-1 in the OVC. They will return to action when they travel to Conway, Ark., to take on Central Arkansas in the regular season finale.

Members of Eastern’s community will gather around the flagpole in front of Old Main to honor veterans on Monday.

The Veteran’s Day ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. at the front of Old Main.

Lt. Col. Stephen Knotts, the coordinator of Veterans and Military Personnel Student Services, said there will be different speeches from veterans of the faculty, staff and students who will speak at the ceremony.

“The ceremony is to be able to honor all veterans, both the ones who have died, as well as the living veterans and to be able to show that EIU gives us a chance to be able to honor those veterans on campus and in our community,” Knott said.

He said different departments throughout campus will be participating in the ceremony, from the music department to the ROTC program.

Knotts said there will a narration of Veterans Day and speeches from Cody Gallagher, a student veteran and ROTC cadet, and President Bill Perry.

He said there will be a wreath laying at the base of the flag pole by Perry, a veteran member of the faculty, the staff and a student veteran.

“All four major portions of EIU is going to be there honoring veterans,” Knotts said.

The ROTC Panther Battalion will have a three-volley salute using a cannon made by the department of technology instead of rifles.

Someone from the music department will perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “Taps.”

The rain location will be inside of Old Main.

A reception will follow the ceremony in the foyer of Old Main.

“This is an opportunity for people of the university, students, staff and faculty, and people from the community,” Knotts said.

Knotts said the ceremony is not on Veterans Day because they wanted to involve everyone.

“Veteran’s Day is historically on the 11th of November, which was the end of World War I,” Knotts said.

He said they moved the ceremony because they wanted more people to attend.

“Since the event this year is on a Sunday, we wanted to make sure students and faculty would be able to participate in this ceremony,” Knotts said.

He said this is a good way to show support for veterans.

“It allows people who have not been veterans to gain some awareness and appreciation of some of the things that veterans have gone through in order to defend the Constitution of the United States,” Knott said.

Eastern defeats SEMO, qualifies for playoffs

By Jordan Pottorff Sports Editor

Eastern’s football team claimed sole possession of the Ohio Valley Conference championship and earned the automatic qualifier to the FCS playoffs with a 39-20 win over Southeast Missouri.

“I was excited for (the players) to hoist that trophy,” head coach Dino Babers said.

“When (Artavious) Dowdell grabbed the trophy from me and those guys started doing all the stuff they were doing, I was over there like a reporter just checking it out because it’s a memory that I want implanted in my mind forever. I will never forget that,” he said.

The Panthers found themselves in a closer-than-expected first half as the Redhawks rushing attack gashed Eastern for 163 first half rushing yards.

The combination of duel-threat quarterback Scott Lathrop and running back Levi Terrell combined for 166 rushing yards and a touchdown in the opening half.

Despite the Redhawks production in the running game, the Panthers took a 16-14 lead into

“We were one of the few teams that believed in ourselves. We came to work, we had a great summer camp and a great fall camp and we came out to win the OVC.” —Erik Lora, red-shirt junior wide receiver

the halftime break.

Junior quar terback Jimmy Garoppolo found red-shirt sophomore tight end Sam Hendricks in the back of the end zone for his first of two touchdown passes in the winning effort.

Hendricks’ touchdown reception came on a tipped pass, but the tight end showed good coordination to stay with the ball and get one foot inbounds to secure the touchdown.

Red-shirt senior running back Jake Walker also added a touchdown in the first half, running the ball in from eight yards out for the score.

Walker finished the game with a team-best 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

In the second half, the Panthers virtually shut down the Redhawks rushing attack, allowing just 31 yards on 19 carries to take control of the game.

“SEMO is a really good football team,” red-shirt sophomore linebacker Adam Gristick said.

“Their quarterback is a great player and their running back is really good, but we just came out in the second half and dominated. We changed stuff up at halftime and came out and played our butts off and got the victory,” he said.

The second half adjustments led to the Panthers recording five sacks as Greg Mahan recorded two, while Artavious Dowdell, Robert Haynes and LeQuince McCall each added one sack.

The Panthers also added 10 tackles-for-loss in the win.

The strong defensive performance led to the Panthers scoring 23 unanswered points en route to claiming their first conference championship since the 2009 season and their sixth overall since 2001.

Student publishes 800-page Apple II computer manual

By Tim Deters Features Editor

Though the center of David Finnigan’s hobby is an obsolete piece of technology, he still felt it was necessary and rewarding to publish an 800-page manual concerning his beloved computer.

Finnigan’s book, titled "The New Apple II User’s Guide," was published in June 2012 and is a comprehensive manual of the Apple II, a home computer produced between 1977 and 1993.

The Apple II was one of the first successfully mass-produced home computers, Finnigan explained.

However, few people own or use Apple II’s today, he said.

Finnigan, 22, did not grow up using an Apple II. His first exposure to the computer came in 2005 while playing at a friend’s house. Finnigan said the friend’s family owned an Apple II, but they had little use for the computer. The parents saw Finnigan’s interest in the Apple II and gave it to him for free.

Ever since then, Finnigan has immersed himself in the hardware and software that still exists for Apple II. He now owns four of the six models of Apple II and has acquired manuals, games and other products for the computer through family, friends and eBay.

“What keeps me using (the Apple II) today is that I like fiddling around with computer systems and programming them and playing the old games,” Finnigan said.

Finnigan is not alone in his love for everything Apple II, he said.

While the Apple II is little-used today, Finnigan said there is still a small yet strong band of hobbyists who continue to write programs and design software for the computer.

“I’d say it is probably out of loyalty and nostalgia that keeps people using it today,” he said.

Because there is still interest in the Apple II and because hobbyists are still writing programs and designing software for the computer, Finnigan decided in Summer 2010 to write his own manual detailing how to use and alter the Apple II. Originally, Finnigan only set a goal of 300 to 400 pages for the manual.

“I found that I was passing those milestones, and I still hadn’t covered all the material,” he said.

When he first began writing the manual, Finnigan did not tell his family or friends about his project because he was not sure he would finish the manual.

“I started writing it, and I really kept in under-the-table,” he said.

However, working on the manual over breaks between semesters

and on holidays, Finnigan eventually reached 200 pages in the manual and decided to tell his family and friends about his project.

The most challenging part of constructing the manual was the amount of research it took to detail all aspects of the Apple II hardware and software, Finnigan said.

“A huge amount of research went into writing this book,” he said. “I had to do a lot of cross-checking and research and verification.”

In some instances, Finnigan found inconsistencies between various manuals and even found errors in official Apple manuals.

Another challenge Finnigan ran into while writing the manual was detailing how the Apple II can still be used today in the era of the Internet.

“All this stuff about networking and going online and email and so on, it didn’t exist when the Apple II was a mainstream computer,” he said. “It’s all very new material that I had to do research on.”

Finnigan said the Apple II can be adapted to access limited online content and perform basic online functions, such as a Google or Wikipedia search. However, such websites as Facebook and Youtube would not be accessible with the limited capabilities of the computer, he said.

SUBMIT TED PHOTO

With nearly 250 copies sold, The New Apple II User’s Guide is the only manual still in publication for the Apple II, Finnigan said.

“I have a monopoly on the Apple II book market right now,” he said.

Finnigan will host a book signing of "The New Apple II User’s Guide" from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday in the Marvin Foyer in Booth Library.

Students can also check out a copy of the manual from Booth Library.

CHARLESTON

Community members trek 40-mile race

By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor

A Charleston principal ran 40 miles in a six-hour period by himself while matching the pace of teams with four people Saturday despite the wind and hills in his way.

Runners took a 40-mile scenic route around Coles County passing through fields, hills, historic sites and more.

The Charleston Parks and Recreation Department sponsored the 40-mile relay.

There were 21 teams in the different categories of Superman, duo, three-person teams and four-person teams.

Rob Ulm was the only Super-

man, which means he ran the entire 40 miles with no one to trade off legs of the race.

Ulm, the principal of Jefferson Elementary School, was solo except when he crossed the finish line with his children, who ran along with him.

Last year, Ulm tied for 10th overall with a time of 5 hours, 49 minutes, 16 seconds.

This year, his time was about 6 hours, 25 minutes.

“It was slower this year because it was warmer and just as windy,” Ulm said.

Ulm said he has run five or six 100-mile races, some under 24 hours, and wants to set an example for his children.

“My daughter ran in the ‘Girls

on the Run’ over in Mattoon this morning so I try to model for them,” Ulm said. “It’s a lifestyle, and they seem to pick it up. I don’t push, but I like to show them that mom and dad are both active.”

Ulm said part of his run was spent listening to the Eastern football games and looking at the scenery.

The rest of the teams alternated the 11 legs of the race. Throughout the route, there were 10 transition sites where members changed batons and got water. Members who were not running that leg were transported by cars to the next site.

Diane Ratliff, the tourism and special events supervisor of the Charleston Parks and Recreation Department, said the winners were

broken down into different categories by all-male teams, all-female teams and co-ed.

The two teams from SteepleWeb won first and second place. The first team broke the previous course record by about four minutes.

Nate Atkinson, a web developer for Eastern, said they hoped both teams would break the record, but only one did.

One-man show portrays man’s life as teacher

LGBTQA issues

By Katie Smith Staff Reporter

By Amy Wywialowski Assistant Daily Editor

A Los Angeles teacher received a standing ovation Friday for his performance of “They Call Me Mr. Fry,” a one-man show that portrayed his belief that teaching is a one-man performance in and of itself.

The show focused on real interactions between Jack Freiberger, “Mr. Fry,” and two of his former students, Anthony and Jasmine, while teaching at what he calls a “No Child Left Behind” school.

The names of Freiberger’s characters were the only aspects of his show altered from the reality of his encounters with his students.

Original copies of letters and homework assignments were used as props to be displayed on a projector for the audience to experience what it was like to be in his South Los Angeles classroom.

President Bill Perry and his wife Linda Perry were among the rest of the Charleston community members and Eastern students who came to see the show.

Bill Perry said he hoped to gain new insight from Freiberger’s narration.

“I hope I learn something about the mind of a teacher,” Bill Perry said. “I think the most important thing that happens between a teacher and a student is the kind of meeting of the minds where the student learns how the professor thinks, and the professor learns how the student thinks.”

Freiberger said he felt similarities about performing.

“I wanted to tell their stories,” Freiberger said. “They needed to be heard.

I’ve been doing this nationwide so I feel like a national artistic mouthpiece for teachers.”

Freiberger emphasized the struggle he said he believes each teacher faces while trying to balance the fantasy of a perfect first year in the classroom and the reality of its hardships.

He achieved this throughout the show by using references to Camelot

Faculty and staff will break down boundaries and talk about their personal experiences as the LGBTQA Resource Advisory Committee presents the “Big Gay Panel” Monday.

The panel will take place at 8 p.m. in the Charleston-Mattoon Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

The panel will be comprised of six advisory committee members who will take questions from the audience.

LaVeasey Carter, the assistant director of academic services and committee member, said he organized the panel as an informal way to start a conversation between faculty, staff and students about issues they all may face and offer support.

“EIU Pride does one every year, and we will mirror what they do but with faculty and staff,” Carter said.

“With the generation gap, they have different experiences than what students may have encountered.”

Carter said the panel members represent “every letter in the LGBTQA alphabet” and will answer questions based upon their own experiences.

“What we talk about will depend on what people ask,” Carter said.

“One of the reasons we are doing this is so students know there are faculty and staff members that represent every characteristic on the spectrum.”

He said another reason for the panel is to make a connection.

and King Arthur as an optimistic alter ego.

“As a first-year teacher, it is a raw experience, and you come in with such big ideas and such Camelot hopes,” Freiberger said.

Those Camelot hopes were encouraged by Freiberger’s portrayal of King Arthur, who motivated him to transcend mandated curriculum and reach his students on a personal level, something he said one of his childhood teachers did that inspired him.

“I loved and adored him, and he found a special thing about all his students and made them feel special, and he grew and planted that special seed,” Freiberger said. “His teaching style, I’ve

adopted a little bit of it. It got people really involved and at stake and made people try harder.”

Freiberger said if he could give a piece of advice to new or aspiring teachers, it would be to remember why they wanted to teach.

“Keep your internal journey strong and spiritual, and don’t worry about the external factors,” Freiberger said. “It’s all about the kids, and remember that: it’s all about the kids. No matter what travails you may face. Don’t forget that teaching is fun.”

After two sessions during a 12week period, the University Board’s “The Art of Inner Peace” lecture series will come to a close Monday with the topic of mindful meditation.

Jay Shinde, an assistant of accounting, has been giving one lecture per month. The lecture on Monday will take place at 7 p.m. in the 7th Street Underground of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Shinde said this particular lecture will focus on the act of meditating, something he has been practicing for the past 25 years.

He said he practices the “Qadriya Sufi Meditation,” and there are many advantages to it.

“You need to meditate only 5-10 minutes per day, as opposed to longer with other techniques,” Shinde said.

“It is enjoyable because it is short, and you don't have to concentrate.”

Shinde said the meditation uses something called Muraqaba, which is using the words combined with the breath.

Because of the combination of words and breath, the technique can be termed as “mindful,” which is how this particular lecture got its name.

“With the QSM, you typically use a ‘word(s)’ along with the breath,” Shinde said. “This helps to get into a deeper meditative state.”

According to the Qadriya Sufi Foundation of America, the meditation has been practiced for more than 1,000 years.

Shinde said this history is part of the reason this particular type of meditation is so reliable.

“It has been practiced for over 1,400 years, and there is a lot of evidence in terms of its efficacy,” he said.

Shinde said this technique can be used by students as a form of relief for a variety of different issues, including stress, depression and anx-

“I think it is so easy for students to think there is a disconnect between their lives and that of the faculty and staff,” Carter said. “We’re hoping to bridge that gap and show we all need each other.”

The panel will be presented during EIU Pride’s usual meeting time, but is open to the public.

“It just worked out timing-wise,” Carter said.” They already had the room reserved.”

He said the panel is meant to be a relaxed environment where students should feel no reservations to ask any questions.

“We have a diverse group of panelists who don’t have any reservations about talking about where they stand,” Carter said. “We hope students will feel comfortable enough to ask any questions they may have been too afraid to ask and know they will get honest answers.”

Abby Wilburn, a junior sociology and philosophy major and EIU Pride president, said she is looking forward to the presentation because of how heartwarming it is to see the faculty and staff show their support.

“This is the first time they are doing this, and I can’t imagine anything but a positive reaction,” Wilburn said.

“I’m looking forward to them sharing their wisdom and showing our members what other people experience.”

the Paper Plate Advocacy program is important to students because, as Charleston residents for a portion of the year, they should care about hunger problems in their community.

“We are raising awareness in the community about hunger probl e m s t h ro u g h o u t C o l e s C o u n ty,” she said. “After filling out a paper plate in the Union, all the plates will be sent to legislators in Springfield so that raises awareness from a local level to a state level as well.”

Mitchell said the first week of Paper Plate Advocacy went well.

“We had a great turnout, and many students took a lot of time out to write on the plates,” she said.

Mitchell described one student’s plate as a picture of a pizza with a piece missing to symbolize hunger.

“Other students wrote things they thought legislators should know about hunger,” she said.

At the end of the month, the plates will be packaged and sent to Springfield.

Paper Plate Advocacy will take place Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bridge Lounge of the Union.

Eastern more Time for Republicans to consider change diverse than traditional students Jordan Pottorff This past week the School for Continuing Education sponsored a week of activities that recognized nontraditional students at Eastern. We at The Daily Eastern News thought this was a great idea.

Beth Craig, the coordinator of program development for the School of Continuing Education, said in a Nov. 2 article that nontraditional students are usually older than 25 and often have many other responsibilities to deal with in addition to earning a college degree.

These responsibilities can include a significant other, children and working partor full-time.

As college students, we are familiar with the challenges of earning a college degree.

But most of us cannot imagine dealing with that challenge while simultaneously working a full-time job and raising a family.

Most of the activities and programs on campus are often marketed toward typical college students and young adults. This makes sense, since that is the majority of Eastern’s population, but we’re glad to see a smaller demographic at Eastern also receive attention.

It helps remind traditional college students how diverse their community is, and it helps a group of hardworking students feel more included despite everything else they are dealing with outside of Eastern.

We imagine that, while dealing with children or a full-time job, it would be easy to lose track of things regularly going on at Eastern. Nontraditional students may feel disconnected or separated with the rest of the university. Our staff would like to see each member of the Eastern community feeling welcomed and included. These type of events help make this ideal situation more of a reality.

That being said, there is no reason this type of inclusion should stop at special events. We encourage traditional and other Eastern students to make an effort recognizing the nontraditional students they see every day.

This does not have to be anything special, but the regular courtesy and friendship one would extend a peer should also be extended to a nontraditional student.

A small gesture such as introducing yourself and genuinely getting to know the other person can go a long way.

Nontraditional students can be found in nearly every major, so most Eastern students probably have the opportunity to do this.

There is so much more to any university than just what is expected of a typical college experience. We at The News are always happy when we see Eastern is no exception to that rule. As always, our community’s diversity should be celebrated, never stifled, and recognized, not forgotten.

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

The presidential election ended in disappointment for the Republican Party as President Barack Obama will serve as our nations’ president for four more years. The disappointing outcome for the Republican Party should lead to change, as the Republicans clearly need to appeal to a younger generation if they want to succeed in today’s day and age.

Although I believe Mitt Romney was a quality candidate to take over the White House, his lack of appeal to certain crowds hampered the Republican Party as a whole. Many Republicans felt that Romney held the advantage over Obama because of the struggling economy, the unemployment rate and the national debt ceiling, but he was still unable to dethrone Obama.

Some Republicans have argued that Romney was not conservative enough to appeal to the Republican Party as a whole. Although Romney is viewed as one of the more moderate Republican candidates in recent memory, saying that he was not conservative enough is a vast overstatement.

Romney beat out conservative candidates Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich to earn the Republican presidential nominee.

Based on this past election, Republicans should see they need to find new ways to appeal to specif-

ic demographics.

In the 2012 election, 60 percent of voters between the ages of 18-29 decided to vote for President Obama, and 52 percent of voters between the ages of 30-44 chose to vote for President Obama.

The 2012 election had the largest gender gap in the history, according to the Gallup poll. By gender, 55 percent of women chose to vote for Obama, while 52 percent of men decided to vote for Romney. For single women, Obama won the vote by 36 percent.

Though widespread appeal is ideal, Republicans should find a way to do this without compromising their morals. Conservative morals are something that the Republican Party must continue to live by, but minor changes or a deeper understanding of the current issues facing our na-

tion’s youth could lead to better results in 2016.

I’m not saying that Republicans should abandon their views on LGBTQA or abortion. These are issues that define the Republican Party, but it is also something that has divided our nation as a whole.

Their views on social issues likely did not definitively decided the election, but a more lenient stand on policies facing our country could result in several “swing states” going red in the next election.

Our nation’s demographics are ever-changing.

The Republican Party did a poor job of appealing to minority voters as the majority of the “swing states” went Obama’s way as a result. Some Republicans have made efforts to limit immigration, alienating certain groups with similar interests and have refused to adapt to changes that have swept across the nation.

This unwillingness to adapt to change will continue to hurt the Republican Party in the future.

The party needs to keep its defining views intact, but the willingness to adapt to the ever-changing policies that our nation is facing is of utmost importance for future success.

I understand where my professors are coming from wanting to get it all done before break, but I have got to admit, I am currently a mess.

Not to mention holiday preparations. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, Thanksgiving and all the food goes with it. But what I don’t like is how early all of the preparations start.

I was shopping for my Halloween costume barely three weeks ago and they already had Christmas decorations out. The day after Halloween, I heard Christmas music. My sister was at the mall last weekend and they were already setting up their “Santa’s Village,” complete with fireworks. This past weekend, my mom asked me what I want for Christmas and my birthday (10 days before Christmas).

Seriously? Is all of this really necessary?

What’s the rush? Last time I checked, Christ-

Amy Wywialowski mas is still nearly a month and half away. Not to mention there isn’t even snow. How can anyone even think about the holidays when the grass is still green and people wore shorts last week? Yes, I know the Midwest is one of the few parts of the country that actually has snow during December, but for me, snow has always been a part of the holidays I know this sounds bad, but I am going to compare all the Christmas advertisements to all of the election ads from last week. It is a constant bombardment and I fear I am suffering

from sensory overload.

It’s frustrating and makes it difficult to focus. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t have time to lose focus.

How am I supposed to focus when Christmas carols are being played and men dressed as Santa Claus are parading around town?

So here is my plea—do not ask me about my holiday plans until this Friday or the Friday of finals. This is as much for my benefit as it is yours. If you do not ask me, I cannot get distracted and not do my work. Also, if you do not ask me I will not snap at you, because until Dec. 13 at 2:30 p.m., the end of my last final, I will be in work mode.

So go ahead, call me Scrooge, but Christmas isn’t until December and I will wait until then to celebrate.

Business founder to speak on experiences

By Amy Wywialowski Assistant Daily Editor

SUBMIT TED PHOTO

As a part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, the Lumpkin School of Business and Applied Sciences will host the founder of a fair-trade company Monday.

Stacey Edgar, author of the book “Global Girlfriends” and founder of the company Global Girlfriend, will speak to students, faculty, staff and community members at 6:30 p.m. in Room 2030 of Lumpkin Hall.

Edgar, who published her book in April 2011, created her company in 2003 with her $2,000 tax return.

The company itself sells items made by impoverished women at fair-trade prices. The company also donates part of the proceeds to “Campaign for Female Education in Africa.”

Edgar will speak about her experiences in creating her company and what inspired her to do so.

Cheryl Noll, chairperson of the Lumpkin School of Business and

Applied Sciences and organizer of the presentation, said she first heard of Edgar while listening to National Public Radio about two years ago.

“I heard an interview with her and thought ‘Wow, what an interesting person,’” Noll said.

Noll said after seeing Edgar’s name, it clicked who Edgar was, and Noll knew she wanted to have her come speak at Eastern.

“She will be talking about her experiences and how she made something this big happen,” Noll said.

“Here, we worry so much about business plans, and she did this whole thing without a business plan and not very much money.”

Noll said Edgar’s business falsifies one of the major beliefs concerning the business world today, by creating a business to benefit impoverished women.

“So many times, people associate business with making money,” Noll said. “She made it her business to empower other women, and it is fantastic.”

She said she hopes people who

attend the presentation learn not only from Edgar’s business ac complishments but her message as well.

“She was able to impact so many with so little,” Noll said. “It is a lesson to us all, even if you don’t think you can or will have an impact on someone, you can.”

Along with Monday’s presentation to the public, Edgar will also be giving an invitation-only presentation earlier in the day. Copies of Edgar’s book will be for sale from 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Lumpkin Hall.

Edgar will be signing books after her presentation.

All of the events are free and the presentation is funded through the Lumpkin Endowment, which was created by the Lumpkin family, which also founded Consolidated Communications.

“It is a huge deal for us to bring someone of her caliber to come speak,” Noll said.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Board approves purchases, resolution revisions Tarble Arts Center to be affected by changes

By Robyn Dexter In-depth Editor

The Board of Trustees approved revisions to the Tarble Arts Center’s Resolution of Permanence and revised some of its own regulations at its meeting Friday.

Blair Lord, provots and vice president for academic affairs, said changes for the resolution have been brought up twice this semester.

“We’re in the process of preparing for accreditation,” he said.

The Tarble Arts center follows American Alliance of Museum’s standards, and revisions had to be made accordingly in order to be re-

accredited.

Michael Watts, the director of the Tarble Arts Center, said the accreditation commission was asking for more specific language in the resolution, which led to the revision.

He said it was important to have language in the resolution saying that the center is valued as part of the university for providing lasting educational and intellectual resources.

Watts said he has heard of other institutions selling their collections and adding to the acquired money to their assets, and adding this language to the resolution can prevent this from happening in the future nationwide.

The board also added a new regulation agreement to its meeting times.

Leo Welch, the vice chairman of

the Board of Trustees, said the modification to the public comment section of the board meetings were made in order to be in compliance with other universities.

This particular proposal allows members of the public and employees of the university to be afforded time to make comments or ask questions of the board at the end of each meeting.

“I surveyed public universities on their policies and proceedings regarding public comments,” Welch said.

“In reviewing the board policy, we had a statement about a disputed topic that was being addressed elsewhere and was not eligible for public comments,” he said.

Welch said no other university has a restriction such as this, and the new proposal will put Eastern in compliance with other universities.

The Board will have a final vote on the proposal in January.

Dan Nadler, the vice president for student affairs, made a presentation to the board about campus and community, which highlighted the successes of Eastern’s students in terms of campus involvement and volunteerism.

President Bill Perry made a presentation as well about program analysis, in which he talked about Eastern’s fiscal environment, declining state funding and pension reform.

He described to the board what the Steering Committee for Program Analysis plans to do and how a presentation will be made to the board in the future.

During committee reports, Robert Webb, the chairman of the finance and audit committee, announced that Eastern had received

all of its funding it was owed by the state from FY 11 and FY 2012, which came out to about $5 million.

The board also approved two major purchases.

One was a fee of $247,000, which will be paid to exp U.S. Services for design services of a campus-wide security system.

The other was a programming and membership fee for WEIU because of increased programming costs and will cost Eastern $225,000.

The Board of Tr ustees’ next meeting will take place at 1 p.m. on Jan. 18, 2013 in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

HOCKEY

Fan support carries team to away win Hockey club splits weekend games

By Dominic Renzetti Assistant Online Editor

Buses drove close to 200 students from Ike’s to the Illinois Ice Arena in Champaign to watch the Eastern hockey club take on the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign on Friday and Saturday.

After falling 3-2 in overtime in the late night contest Friday, the Panthers bounced back in the second game to split the series with a 6-4 win on Saturday.

In a back-and-forth game, the score was tied at 4-4 with just under six and a half minutes to play in

the game.

The Panthers responded just a minute later, adding another goal to make it 5-4 with just over five minutes to play.

The Illini pulled its goalie in favor of an extra skater with under a minute left, and Eastern added the insurance goal to seal the victory with a 6-4 win.

Junior Andrew Maronich said the overtime loss on Friday inspired the team to come out and perform on Saturday.

“I thought definitely the third period of the first game was kind of a motivation,” he said. “We played pretty well in that period, came back and tied it up, went to overtime. So, we knew we could play with them, we knew we could beat

them this game.”

Maronich said the team fed off the energy of the third period and carried it over into the second game.

Maronich also said beating rival Illinois is a huge win for the team.

“It’s big, especially here in front of all those fans,” he said. “There’s a senior on our team who says he hasn’t beaten U of I in all five years he’s been here. It was huge. All the boys are pretty excited.”

Maronich said the amount of fan support was a definite factor in the Saturday night win.

“We knew that (the fans) were coming out, we knew we were going to have support,” he said. “They got here kind of late, so they missed the first goal. But we definitely fed

“Definitely, no doubt about it, (the fans) were part of the win. It was definitely nice to have them here and definitely nice to give them the W.” -Junior forward Andrew Maronich off their energy.”

He said the fans were a large part of the team’s win.

“We knew that they were there.

They made themselves loud and clear,” Maronich said. “And definitely, no doubt about it, they were part of the win. It was definitely nice to have them here and definitely nice to give them the W.” With the split this weekend, the

club’s record is now 6-5-1.

The next matchup for the team will be against another in-state opponent, Northern Illinois.

The two teams will play a twogame series, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Friday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Dekalb.

SWIMMING

Panthers lose home opener

By Aldo Soto Staff Reporter

The Panther men and women swim teams were outraced against the Ball State Cardinals, losing their home opener by respective scores of 169-93 and 150-108.

The men fall to 0-3 with the latest defeat while the women fall to 1-3 for the sseason.

Ball State came out of the gates fast winning nine out of the first 10 races.

What started as an energized sideline for the Eastern swim teams soon changed to a dejected sideline.

It was not until the seventh event in the women’s 100-yard backstroke that the home crowd had something to cheer about.

Sophomore Mackenzie Anderson electrified her teammates and the Eastern fans by setting a new pool record in the event with a time of 58.29.

Head coach Elliott McGill said that moment shined for the women

in the team’s first home meet.

“Mackenzie Anderson’s pool record really stood out, especially since she tip-toed the school record as well,” McGill said.

As the afternoon quickly turned to evening, the Eastern swimmers continued to see the Cardinals finish in first place.

The tide turned during the 50-yard freestyle, where senior Colin McGill made his teammates cheer once again with a first place finish, holding off Cole Smith from Ball State.

McGill held off Smith by .07 of a second, finishing the race at 22.08.

The good vibes continued as in the next race as freshman Kaylee Morris won the 100-free by almost a full second with a finishing time of 54.01.

“We saw really good times even when we didn’t win a race,” McGill said. “Kelli DiCanio’s 200-breast, Olga Livshits’ 200-individual medley and Mary Lacine’s 200-Free were all very solid in-season times for us.”

Lacine, a junior, did win the 200-individual medley with a time of

2:16.09 and was joined in the winner’s circle by fellow junior teammate Kate Paige.

Paige came away with a first-place finish in the 100-buttefly with a time of 1:00.04.

The women’s team ended the meet with 14 top-three finishes.

Alongside with Colin McGill’s victory, the coach said he was also impressed with senior Chacour Koop, as he said Koop put up some really good in-season times.

Ko o p p l a c e d s e c o n d i n t h e 200-backstroke finishing the race at 1:58.09.

“Overall the meet went very well,” McGill said. “Our kids came in very tired, but swam very well.”

Eastern will return to action at the multi-squad House of Champions meet being hosted by IUPUI in Indianapolis. The event will begin on Nov. 30 and will run through Dec. 2.

Cameron Harvey, a freshman guard, holds onto the ball while he looks for somebody to pass to Friday in Lantz Arena.

Aside from Berens and Franklin, three other Panthers hit in doubledigit kills. Freshman outside hitter Abby Saalfrank followed the upperclassmen with 12 kills off a .348 attack.

Two players had 11 kills, in junior outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson and red-shirt junior middle hitter Stephanie Arnold.

Freshman setter Marah Bradbury led all players with 59 assists, a new career-high for the Decatur, Ind., native.

Price said the offense had a good

showing, but struggling to get the ball to Bradbury at times worked in Belmont’s favor.

“I think we struggled to handle the ball,” Price said. “In our own gym, that’s not a good thing.”

“Our offense was pretty solid, but weren’t always able to get the ball to Marah (Bradbury) so we can distribute evenly on offense and that allows them to set a block,” Price said. “They did a good job of keeping the ball on us and keeping the pressure on us.”

Eastern has less than a week to

bounce back and return to action against Belmont yet again.

The Panthers and Bruins are the first match of the OVC Tournament set for 10 a.m. Thursday, in Morehead, Ky. No. 1 overall seed Morehead State will play host in the postseason tourney where Eastern will take part for its first time since 2005.

MEN’S BASKETBALL, from page 8 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL, from page 8 Five of those seven points came off the hot hand of Austin as he shot 5-of-8 from the field and 3-of5 from behind the arch.

Austin finished the game with 13 points.

The Braves slowly pulled out of the Panthers’ reach, leading by as many as 27 points.

Eastern did its best to answer, as the Panthers went on a 10-0 run kick-started by junior guard Morris Woods.

Senior guard Austin Akers hit back-to-back three-pointers during that run.

Woods led the Panthers on offense scoring 14 points, also adding

eight rebounds.

The run was eventually stopped as it became too late for the Panthers.

For the game, Eastern shot 35 percent from the field, while Bradley shot 58 percent. A 10-point differential was had by Bradley on the glass as it out-rebounded Eastern 35-25. Bradley doubled Eastern in points in the paints 36-18 for the game.

The Panthers will host Wright State in their home-opener at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Lantz Arena.

While Eastern was struggling, the Sycamores’ star players were having big games — something Buchanan’s scouting report of them showed they’d do.

Buchanan and his players said they’d have to defend the Sycamores’ Anna Munn, Taylor Whitley and Rachael Mahan score in double figures in the game.

Munn led the team with 18 points, while Whitley had 14 points and five assists. Mahan finished

the game with a double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds.

“We didn’t do a good job defending,” Buchanan said. “Those three players will shoot it. That’s the head of their monster.”

The head of Eastern’s monster, Nixon and senior forwards Mariah King and Sydney Mitchell, didn’t keep pace.

Nixon scored 12 points, but King only scored four on 2-of-5 shooting.

Mitchell came off the bench, still

battling lingering injuries, and was held scoreless on 0-of-5 shooting.

The Panthers are facing a quick turnaround, coming home to play another Missouri Valley team Monday.

Eastern will host Bradley at 7 p.m. Monday in Lantz Arena.

The Panthers beat Bradley in Peoria last season, 59-58.

Braves spoil Spoonhour’s debut game

By Anthony Catezone Assistant Sports Editor

A late first-half run by Bradley put them over the top of the Eastern’s men’s basketball team, putting a damper on the season opener of the Jay Spoonhour era.

The Panthers fell to the Braves 76-53 in Peoria.

Tyshon Pickett played the role of Panther-killer as he scored a gamehigh 23 points.

His effort was the difference in the score. Pickett added eight rebounds to his stat sheet.

Pickett was the driving force in the first half as the Braves used his 16 points to pull away from the Panthers and open doors on the non-conference match up.

Bradley began the night on a 7-2 run, but a basket by junior guard Morris Woods and a three-pointer from freshman guard Alex Austin knotted the game at seven, four minutes into play.

The Panthers quickly found an offensive rhythm as they broke out to a 15-9 lead off an 8-2 run capped by sophomore forward Josh Piper with 13:24 left in the first half.

A timeout by Bradley then opened up the game in the Braves’ favor once again, only this time they never looked back.

A bucket by Will Egolf sparked a 14-2 Braves run as Bradley led 2316 with seven minutes remaining in the first half.

Austin did his best to end that run with two points of his own.

However, Pickett then reeled off six straight points, as Bradley went into the half with a commanding 38-22 lead.

The Braves shot 58 percent from floor in the first half, compared to Eastern’s 37 percent.

Eastern cut the Bradley lead to 11, as it opened the second half on a 7-2 run.

Panthers outclass in season-opener

By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

The Eastern women’s basketball team hadn’t been held under 40 points in a game in more than a decade, at least, but in new head coach Lee Buchanan’s debut game, the Panthers scored 39.

The Panthers were 4-of-25 from the field in the first half and 1-of9 from the free throw line as they went into the half trailing Indiana State 36-9.

The deficit was too much too overcome, let alone too steep to reach 40 points by the end of the game.

Had the Panthers reached 40 points, they’d be in a little bit better company — even in a loss.

The lowest scoring Panther team in recent memory was when they scored 41 points against Southeast Missouri on Feb. 14, 2008.

They lost that game, but the difference was that they held the Redhawks to 46 points.

The Sycamores offense was working on Friday, scoring 69 points to cap a 30-point win to open the season.

“It’s not rocket science,” Buchanan said. “You have to put the ball in the hole. We’re not going to win unless we make shots.”

Some part of Buchanan may have seen this coming, saying on Thursday that it’s hard to make shots in Indiana State’s arena.

“It’s not rocket science.

You have to put the ball in the hole. We’re not going to win unless we make shots.”

-Head coach Lee Buchanan The Panthers haven’t shot the ball well in most of their recent games in Terre Haute, Ind. “It’s a huge, huge arena,” Buchanan said. “We don’t play in those size arenas. The background is different (behind the backboard).”

Only senior guard Ta’Kenya Nixon reached double figures in scoring Friday night, recording 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the floor.

Maybe the arena and the Panthers’ history against Indiana State had something to do with the poor outing, but the Sycamores weren’t slouches on defense either.

“Their defense was in our shorts and wouldn’t let us get off open looks,” Buchanan said. “The hard part of it is we didn’t make free throws.”

The Panthers were 5-of-16 from the free throw line, while Indiana State went 13-of-19 to help its cause.

Panthers fall on Senior Night

By Anthony Catezone Assistant Sports Editor

The scene was set. It was Senior Night for the Eastern volleyball team.

It was the regular-season finale.

The Panthers had perhaps their most dramatic match of the season, taking Ohio Valley Conference newcomer Belmont all five sets.

The Bruins left Lantz Arena with the win (21-25, 25-19, 22-25, 2519, 15-11), solidifying the No. 3 seed in their first ever OVC Tournament.

Meanwhile, the Panthers’ loss meant they would remain the No. 6 seed in the postseason tourney, their first appearance since 2005.

Also on Senior Night, the Panthers had a taste of what they will see come Thursday, as Eastern and Belmont will square off again in the first round of the OVC Tournament.

“It’s definitely a very emotional time,” senior middle hitter Alison

Berens said. “I did tear up a couple times, but I guess that’s what I expected. The outcome of the game kind of stinks, but now we know what’s coming at us in the tournament on Thursday.”

Eastern finished the year with an 11-20 overall record and an even 8-8 in league play. As for Belmont, it had a successful first year in the OVC, finishing with a 15-15 overall mark and 11-6 in conference.

It was only fitting that on Senior Night, seniors Berens and outside hitter Emily Franklin led the team in kills with 17 and 15, respectively.

Berens’ 17 put-aways set her a new career-high, as she hit behind a gamehigh .467 attack.

“It was definitely nice to go out with a bang,” the team captain said.

“Unfortunately, the whole team couldn’t have brought it together at the very end. I’m proud of everyone on the team and how the season has

gone so far.”

Head coach Kate Price had similar feelings about sending her seniors off in such a dramatic way at Lantz Arena. However, she said she knows her team and its seniors aren’t finished yet.

“Any game with these ladies is a good one,” Price said. “The toughest thing is losing in five sets at home.”

“At the same time, it’s not our last match. We are still going to continue on into the OVC Tournament.

I’m upset seeing these ladies leave us, but at the same time I’m excited to see what they’re going to do in the future,” she said.

Despite the loss, the Panthers outhit the Bruins .257 to .234 for the match and outscored them in points, 81 to 75.

Price said the Panthers’ downfall could have been because of them having seven more errors than the Bruins, 26 to 19.
