RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION
RHA reviews proposed room, board rate increase By Robyn Dexter In-depth Editor
The Residence Hall Association reviewed a draft the Fiscal Year 2014’s room and board rate that would see a 2-percent increase. The presentation, given by Mark Hudson, the director of University Housing and Dining Services, explained a proposed 2-percent increase in the room and board rate. “We have to make adjustments constantly to make sure the students’ needs are being met, he said. The proposed room and board rate increase is the lowest it has been in 37 years by almost a percent, Hudson said. “We’re pleased to offer what is considered a reasonable increase for the rate,” he said. Factors in the increase include heightened food costs, a need to use project money to balance the budget and a need for more bandwidth. “Our budget is down about $6 million because of lowered enrollment, so consequently we don’t have as much money for projects,” he said. “We have to build that money back into the base so we can keep doing things students are telling us they want.” The student satisfaction survey for University Housing and Dining Services was a success in the end and had a 25-percent response rate, Hudson said. “We had 94 percent of students answer that they enjoy living in the residence halls, so we’re excited about that,” he said, RHA President Eddie Hillman encouraged the RHA members to join the Food Service Committee because they still need a few more participants. Hillman also encouraged the RHA members to take part in the “Erasing the Distance” diversity program about mental health issues on Dec. 5. “Erasing the Distance” will take place at 3 p.m. in 7th Street Underground and 7 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Calla Summers, the national/Illinois communication coordinator, revealed the delegates for the Illinois Residence Hall Association conference in February. The delegates include 12 RHA members, including executive board members. The National Residence Hall Honorary will have its annual Winter Wonderland program on Dec. 7. Elizabeth Burbatt, the NRHH historian, said they are still looking for people to volunteer for the program. “We invite all the kids from the community to come to Eastern and we put on a big event with bingo, prizes, Santa and crafts,” she said. “It’s always such a blast.” The RHA also discussed $28 half-zip jackets that will be ordered over winter break. The RHA will have its last meeting of the year at 5 p.m. on Dec. 6 in Weller Hall. Robyn Dexter can be reached at 581-2812 or redexter@eiu.edu.

Weller Dwellers shun shaving By Brian Vorce Staff Reporter
For Rob Morgeson, the itching on his face will end soon. On Saturday, Morgeson can shave his beard. “I feel like a monkey every time I (scratch),” said Morgeson, scratching his red stubble. Friday is the last day of November, a month where men and women stop shaving. It’s called No-Shave

November. Morgeson, a junior management information systems major, said the residents of Weller Hall competed in loosely managed contests. The students who lasted the entire month without shaving consider themselves the winners. No prizes will be awarded. Morgeson estimated between six and 10 Weller men participated in NoShave November, but only he and two

Professor works to end hunger in community By Chacour Koop Staff Reporter
Sam Sarich, a senior history major, works as an intern in the Student Community Service office. Sarich helped lead the Hunger Challenge in which a dollar was raised for every paper plate that students wrote hunger awareness statements on.
others made it to the end. However, the competition is not limited to males. Several women shunned their razors during the month. Caroline Kohout, a sophomore art major, also lives in Weller Hall and said she had not shaved her legs since late October. “It’s just for the heck of it,” said Kohout, displaying her prickly right leg.
Michael Gillespie remembers the day well. One of his students had come into his office for help on a paper, but the sociology professor said it was not going well. The student was fidgeting, unable to concentrate. “What is wrong?” Gillespie asked. The student was hungry. “I wish that had happened only once. I wish that I hadn’t had students tell me, ‘I can’t come back next semester because I can’t afford it,’” Gillespie said. “When your stomach’s rumbling and you have 30 tasks in front of you, there’s only one thing you really care about.” Gillespie said hunger is affecting people of all ages throughout Charleston, Coles County and the U.S. This is why Rachel Fisher, the director of Student Community Service, along with Gillespie
and a team of students, organized the EIU Hunger Challenge. The month of activities included a film viewing, the Freeze Out Hunger 3K Run and “Fight Hunger at Sonic.” “Fight Hunger at Sonic” was the first event of the month and Fisher said she knew then the Hunger Challenge would be a success. All tips collected that night at the Sonic in Mattoon went to benefit the Charleston Food Pantry. “I was really amazed at the number of student volunteers that came out and their enthusiasm,” Fisher said. “It was phenomenal and I knew right then that this was going to be an amazing month.” Fisher said the goal for the month was to collect 5,000 cans for the Charleston Food Pantry. Though the final count was not yet totaled, Fisher predicted the drive collected about 6,000 cans. HUNGER, page 5
