DOUDNA | PERFORMANCE
JOB OPENING
Eastern continues search for dean By Stephanie Markham Administration Editor
tron services at Doudna, said he was intending. “The Recital Hall is perfect for this kind of performance. It gives it an intimate feeling and acoustics work for the kind of instruments we had,” he said. Toward the end of the concert, the string quartet members left the stage to give Jankovic a solo performance. His set included songs by Jose Luis Merlin, songs meant for a classical guitar. The ensemble performed for Eastern students, faculty members and Charleston community members.
The founding dean of the School of Continuing Education retired last spring after 25 years at Eastern. However, William Hine still comes to work every week. Hine said he began working at Eastern in 1986, and two years later he proposed to the academic councils that the Office of Continuing Education should have “school status.” “The program has grown dramatically up until now,” he said. “We offer a variety of programs, credit and non-credit, for a variety of different groups totaling almost 10,000 people on an annual basis.” Blair Lord, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, said he asked Hine to return for the year while he conducts a search for a new dean. “He quite graciously agreed to be reemployed as a temporary position for the year so that I would be able to seek leadership for the school,” he said. Lord formed a search committee on Nov. 9 consisting of eight members from various departments. “I put it together trying to get a balance of faculty members,” he said. “There’s somebody from every college, because continuing education works with all the colleges.” Lord said he chooses representatives for search committees based on the responsibilities of the position. “The School of Continuing Education is a sort of different position,” he said. “It doesn’t have a natural constituency so I created a search committee, first of all, that had more faculty members than any other group among the committee.”

Guitarist Petar Jankovic, of the Petar Jankovic Ensemble, gives a solo performance Thursday in the Recital Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Jankovic took breaks between songs to tune his guitar. “You know what they say about guitarists?” he asked the audience, “They spend half of the performance tuning and then the other half playing out of tune.”
Ensemble mixes Latin music, tango By Bob Galuski Entertainment Editor Petar Jankovic and his ensemble took the stage Thursday, bathed in the glow of the always-changing colored lights of the Recital Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Guitarist Jankovic led his string ensemble, accompanied by two violin players, a violist and a cellist. Sophie Bird and Minju Kim played violin, while Rose Wollman performed on the viola and Kyra Saltman on cello. Titled “From Spain to Tango,” the concert blended a mix of Latin-style music with the classical sounds of
the string quartet. Jankovic’s ensemble played a variety of music – everything from tango to the sounds of Brazil. The ensemble members seamlessly segued from song to song, splitting each grouping up by genre. One of the biggest sections of the concert focused on tango. “Tango combines classical style and jazz,” Jankovic said during the performance. At certain points during the concert, Jankovic used his guitar as a percussion instrument and created a hollow pounding noise that intermixed with the music. The ensemble connected with
the audience during the concert, as Jankovic delivered a few jokes while the musicians tuned their instruments. “You know what they say about guitarists? They spend half of the show tuning their guitar, and the other half playing out of tune,” he said laughing. Violins do not need to be tuned as much, he added. The ensemble members had a good nature when audience members started to applaud early during one of their sets. Each of the musicians played without the help of a microphone, an effect Dan Crews, director of pa-
C AMPUS | VIGIL
Candlelight march to honor, celebrate MLK Jr. legacy By Bob Galuski Entertainment Editor Marching across Eastern’s campus on Monday, students will carry candles as part of a vigil to commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Members of the Zeta Nu chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity put on the memorial annually, and
students have marched for the last 26 years. Starting in the lobby of Thomas Hall at 5:30 p.m., students will walk to the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union where they can participate in various activities. During the march, students can participate in singing inspirational hymns as they move from Thomas Hall with their candles.
Leon Fields, the president of the Zeta Nu chapter, said he was trying to move away from the way the event was handled in the past by making it more student-involved. “It used to be just people talking about Martin Luther King Jr. and students listening,” he said. “Now, we’re having students do spoken word and other things to honor him.”
After the march, students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents in tribute to the civil rights activist in the Grand Ballroom. Among the activities Fields has planned for the memorial include students singing and dancing, tribute videos and essays submitted by students. “It’s going to be more student-ac-
tive,” Fields said. The vigil march and activities after will be more entertaining for students than in years past, he added. Fields said even though this was an annual event, the planning has been expansive and has included the help of most of his fraternity.

With two Charleston City Council seats up for election and one council member not running for reelection, a council seat is guaranteed to be filled with a new face. Jim Dunn and Tim Newell are the current city council members that are up for reelection. However, Dunn is not continuing his 16-year run as a council member. Dunn was not available to comment on why he is not going up for reelection. He said regardless of who is elected, the city will get a good council member. “I just hope everything goes well with the election,” Dunn said. “They have some really good candidates to choose from and everything will come out like the way they should.” Newell, who is finishing his first term, said he has enjoyed city council and wishes to continue. “It has been a privilege to serve at this capacity,” Newell said. “I enjoy being involved.” Newell is also a math teacher at Charleston High School. He said having a financial background has helped with the position, which will include handling taxes and money. Another candidate, Michael Stopka, said he is running to bring Charleston to its fullest potential. Stopka graduated from Eastern in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and is currently completing his master’s degree in gerontology. Stopka is also a substitute teacher for the Charleston School District. “Charleston has a lot more potential,” Stopka said. “I believe with new leadership and new faces, we can move in a different direction that we can promote the city better, attract new businesses and bring Charleston and Eastern closer.”
TIM NE WELL
MICHAEL STOPK A
He said with Eastern’s low enrollment, he wants the city and Eastern to work together. “Students coming here and staying here benefits both Charleston and Eastern,” Stopka said. “We’re one community.” He said by being a young graduate student, he will bring a fresh face to the council. Stopka said he wants to get Charleston on a plan that would revamp its image. For example, he said he wants to focus on street renovations and make sure residents’ homes have stable frameworks. He also said he wants the council to promote the city more to businesses as well as students. The third candidate, Brandon Combs, is a chiropractic physician at Combs Chiropractic. He is also the president elect for the executive committee for the Charleston Chamber of Commerce and was on the board for four years. He was born and raised in Charleston and graduated from Eastern. Combs said he is running for city council because he loves Charleston. “I chose to come back here and open my business,” he said. “It just means a lot to me. Now, I have three small children, and we chose Charleston to raise our children in.” Combs said he wants to get involved with the city with his fresh ideas and perspectives. He said before he does anything as a city coun-

cil member, he wants to find out how the city works. Combs said overall, he wants to help Charleston keep growing. “I love the community, and I want to better it,” Combs. The fourth candidate, Matthew Hutti, is a Charleston local and graduated from Eastern. Hutti is currently a substitute teacher at Charleston High School. He said he is running for city council because he knows the community and is willing to work with it. Hutti said he wants to help the Charleston community and its economy to grow. “I’d like to grow the community and grow with the community,” he said. He said he brings a lot of good qualities to the table. “I’m a good listener,” Hutti said. “I’m willing to listen to anyone in the community.” He said Charleston will grow once the community works together. “I’m willing to work with Eastern and the community,” Hutti said. “Because Charleston is a great place to grow up.” Amanda Wilkinson can be reached at 581-2812 or akwilkinson@eiu.edu.

Chicago band to folk rock to Uptowner By Amanda Wilkinson City Editor Taking improvisation folk rock shows on the road to places like Charleston is the most fun for members of a Chicagoland band. Old Shoe, a band based out of Chicago, tours mainly in the Midwest and will be performing at Mac’s Uptowner Friday. However, band members hail from all parts of the country, including Alaska. Joe Day, the keyboardist, organist and vocalist for the band said Old Shoe has a unique sound. “We have a classic rock feel on folk with bluegrass-y funk too,” he said. Day said the band usually tours in the Midwest region to save money but also because Chicago is rich with art and music. “I moved to Chicago to utilize what Chicago
had to offer—the music and arts scene and friendly atmosphere,” he said. “It’s a hub of creativity.” Day said when he joined the band in the summer of 2011 Old Shoe was doing five cover songs per set and later started playing all their own music. “We kind of switched immediately,” Day said. “It makes shows fresh when we play our own music.” He said during live shows, interaction with the other four members of Old Shoe and the audience is what keeps it fun. “Pulling it out live — vocals, hands and feet — is kind of the most fun for us,” Day said. He said by improvising, they give their live shows more depth than playing exactly like they do in the studio. He explained the energy from the audience and the band members circulates in the room. “You can just feel it with the audience,” Day
said. Day said when the audience reacts to what they are playing on stage, Day and the other members feed off that energy. He said the goal for the band is to play music full time. “I have to play music,” Day said. “I need to play music. I need that interaction.” He said while on the road, they get an “on-theroad” feeling. “It gives us a sense of pride,” Day said when he plays to new audiences. Old Shoe starts playing at 9 p.m. Friday at Mac’s Uptowner, 623 Monroe Ave. Ticket cost for the performance is $5 at the door. Amanda Wilkinson can be reached at 581-2812 or akwilkinson@eiu.edu.

Improv group seeks new members By Samantha McDaniel Student Governance Editor After four years with the campus improv group, one member of Hello Dali will be graduating and hopes to leave the group in good hands through workshops. Taylor “Bigfoot” Davis, a senior communication studies major, said the group is hosting workshops next week to spread comedy and find up to five members to join their group. The workshops will be at 9:30 p.m. Jan. 22 to 24 in the Movement Studio of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. “I’ve been doing it for four years, and I really want to continue doing it after I graduate up in Chicago,” Davis said. Davis said it was a workshop like the ones they will be doing that first introduced him to the group. He said the workshops have helped him over the years, but he is excited to graduate. “I’m excited to pass on the torch because I’ve been doing this since I was a freshman,” he said. “I’m a senior now, and I’m excited to make sure there is a good quality group here when I leave.” Throughout the workshops, members of Hello Dali will introduce people to the games performed during shows, give them a chance to try them out, as well as learn the rules, Davis said. “We are not just going to be putting people on the spot; we’ll be doing it with them,” Davis said. Students who have not done improv comedy before can try it out and learn about it, Davis said. “We will show them the techniques
that we use during those games,” Davis said. He said that if they do not want to do a particular game, they do not have to and can participate in other things. Davis said they want people who are excited about improv comedy because there is more to it than just the shows. “We are looking for team players, people who aren’t going steal the show but people who can work well with other and just want to have fun,” Davis said. The workshops are not just for people who want to join Hello Dali, and they want to teach everyone about the art of improv comedy, he said. People who want to participate can attend the workshops, even if they cannot make it to all of them, he said. Improv comedy is not just something fun for people to do, Davis said. “It can literally help in any skill,” Davis said. “It makes you much more confident in front of people and helps you be a team player.” Davis said improv comedy also helps student meet new people and brings a lot of opportunities to students. “I’m looking forward to it because when we do the workshops it always mean that we are adding friends to the friend group, because it is a close personal thing,” Davis said. More information about the workshops can be found on the Hello Dali Facebook page. Samantha McDaniel can be reached at 581-2812 or slmcdaniel@eiu.edu.

RESIDENCE HALLS | MEE TINGS
Lawson Hall Council votes ‘yes’ to co-ed transition for Fall ’13 By Samantha McDaniel Student Governance Editor Members of the Lawson Hall Council voted in favor of a proposal to make the building coed by floor for the Fall 2013 semester. They asked the Residence Hall Association members to vote on it at their next meeting. Meghan Garby, the Lawson Hall RHA representative, said the council voted 16-5-0 to allow floors in Lawson to be transformed to male floors. Mark Hudson, the director of University Housing and Dining Services, asked Lawson Hall representatives to consider going coed to accommodate more males on campus, Garby said. “Because of Thomas Hall going coed last year, they lost a few floors, and there are less places for males now, and we have to find other places for them to go,” Garby said. “There is a great need for male
rooms on campus now.” Garby said one of the issues is the availability of single-male rooms. Laura Imbirowicz, the Resident Director of Lawson Hall, said the building would be coed by floor and would not require any construction. “If our numbers fluctuate and our male numbers are down, it would be easy to switch floors, and if we need one more female floor, we would have that opportunity,” Imbirowicz said. Hudson also asked the RHA to talk with on-campus residents about the student readership program. The program provides newspapers for on-campus residents, Hudson said. The St. Louis Post Dispatch is withdrawing their participation in the program, so Hudson asked RHA members to find out if students would like The New York Times to replace the St.
Louis Post Dispatch or if they would like the program to provide only USA Today and the Chicago Tribune. “We basically get those papers for somewhere between 40 cents and 50 cents apiece for all those that are picked up,” Hudson said. The papers that are not picked up do not get charged to the school. Hudson said they had three newspapers to choose from, but o n l y T h e Ne w Yo rk Ti m e s w a s around the same price. Students can recommend other papers and University Housing and Dining Services can look into those options. Hudson said they are also looking into getting an online version of a paper and have contacted the St. Louis Post Dispatch, but have not heard back from them.

CAMPUS BRIEFS Cooking class offered A city program will help kids learn how to bake without actually baking. The Charleston Parks and Recreation Department will be offering the no-bake cooking class beginning on Feb. 28. Kim Wargo, the recreation supervisor for the department and teacher for the class, said no-bake cooking means cooking without the use of a stove top or oven. She said all the recipes she currently has planned for the weekly class do not use any type of cooking appliance except a microwave. “I’m trying to steer away from the burner on the stove and just using the microwave and the refrigerator,” she said. “However, there may be one or two recipes where we need to use a stove-top burner.” Wargo said though she designed the class originally for 7-to-14-year-olds, anyone is welcome to take it, including college students. The class will also be an introductory class for the basics of cooking, she said. “I thought 7-to-14-year-olds might need an introductory course, like how to measure tablespoons, teaspoons, things like that,” she said. Wargo said she plans to teach basic cooking terms such as whisking and stirring. She said the class will only make desserts such as pies, cookies and truffles. “(Eastern students are) more than welcome to sign up for it,” she said. “I thought of 7-to-14-year-olds just because it is such an introductory class and seemed like the most appropriate age,” Wargo said. The class meets at 6:15 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays in the city hall basement. Anyone interested may register at the Parks and Recreation Department or on the department website. It costs $46 to join.

In the 2010 film, “The Social Network”, Mark Zuckerberg’s love interest, Erica Albright, offers Mark some very sound advice. “The Internet’s not written in pencil, Mark, it’s written in ink.” Our unified goal at the newspaper is to spread information and promote discussion within the university through many avenues that are not limited to print. But when you’re talking to us, or talking to each other on these forums like Twitter and Facebook, just remember a few things. The same rules that apply to our website comment section apply to our social media forums.
Dominic Renzetti On Facebook, our policy is stated in the “About” section. Keep it clean. Anything with obscene or vulgar language or anything that attacks someone personally won’t be accepted and will be deleted. Also, we know how easy it can be to get carried away, and as much as we love a good discussion, please, lets stay on topic. These rules are not unreasonable; they allow our readers to have a safe place where their opinions can be heard. If discussions begin to become heated on Facebook or Twitter, we will post a warning reflecting our policy. Also note that the comments of others do not reflect the opinion of the newspaper. We have a policy prohibiting the staff at The Daily Eastern News
from commenting. Whatever you do on the internet stays there forever, even if you think you’ve deleted it. Ask Mark Zuckerberg. Ask Manti T’eo (or “Lennay Kekua”). But most importantly, ask yourself if the world really needs to know this, and I’m not talking about irrelevant status updates about the great sandwich you just ate. I’m talking about thinking before you post, because there are always consequences. When you post anything anywhere on the internet, just remember that it can, and will be found eventually. Be cautious about how much you tell people about yourself in your profiles, especially when you decide to speak your mind. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a social media argument. So, brush up on your social media savvy-ness before you go all out on the Internet, be civil to one another and just remember: The Internet’s not written in pencil, it’s written in ink.

Violinist Rose Wollman, of the Petar Jankovic Ensemble, performs Thursday in the Recital Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

Crews said he had been anticipating the performance for a while. “We’ve been trying to get them to perform for quite some time,” he said. “It’s always exciting when you’re waiting a long time for a performance and they’re here. It was beyond what I expected.” The performers even came back out for an encore set. The encore was a traditional style of tango, Jankovic said. Michael Williams, an Eastern alum, said he first heard about the concert from a friend. “My friend told me this was going on, and I looked it up on YouTube and thought it sounded great,” he said.

“I thought it was terrific – I was impressed.” Williams also said he enjoyed the expression the members gave during the performance. Jankovic and his ensemble members came outside the recital hall to sign CDs and programs, as well as talk with the audience and answer any questions. Kim said the ensemble had started playing two years previously, when Jankovic brought them together. The idea of a string quartet led by a guitar came from Jankovic. “I think he was bored of touring alone,” Kim said, jokingly. Kim, Saltman and Wollman all agreed the song “Jongo” was their favor-
ite to play during the concert. “Jongo” came from the Sounds of Brazil set, which featured South American musical styling. Jankovic said he had no particular reason for wanting to form the unique ensemble, and the idea “just came to him.” He also said he did not have a favorite song in his set, but preferred all of the songs. “I like everything,” Jankovic said. “We all just like to play.” Bob Galuski can be reached at 581-2812 or rggaluski@eiu.edu.

Deborah Hutti, the associate vice president for educational services at Lakeland College, also serves on the committee as an external member. Lord said there is no student representation on the committee. “I wanted a non-traditional student, but they’re all at a distance and unable to participate,” he said. Lord said many faculty members have chosen to retire suddenly because it made financial sense to do so with forthcoming pension reform. Hine said pension legislation did not factor into his decision to retire. “It’s been wonderful, but it’s been 25 years and I think it’s time for fresh eyes and a new perspective,” he said. “ There’s a great team in place, and it just seemed a good time to retire because there is
growth potential in the School of Continuing Education.” Hi n e s a i d o n e o f t h e m a j o r changes he has noticed since he began working at Eastern is the growing number of adult students in higher education. “Now 40 percent of those in higher education are 24 years of age or older,” he said. “That’s grown dramatically. When I first started in higher education it was maybe 20 percent.” Hine said candidates for the position should have academic perspective. “This position, if I had to describe it in another way, is very much of a bridge-builder—building bridges from the university to the community and then building bridges internally to the appropriate
The Council on Academic Affairs approved revisions to the prelaw studies minor during its meeting Thursday. “ENG 3001 Advanced Composition” will replace “ENG 4760: Studies in Professional Writing” on the pre-law studies course catalog. Karen Swenson, a political science professor, said changes were made to the required English course to accommodate staffing in the English department. “There are not enough sections of ‘Studies in Professional Writing’ available for the pre-law minors, whereas there are more sections of ‘Advanced Composition’ available,” she said. Another change added “ENG 4760: Studies in Professional Writing” and “PHI 3050: Social and Political Philosophy” to the list of electives. The council also approved a revision to “BIO 3210: Immunology” that will add one credit hour to the course. Gordon Tucker, a biology professor, said the hour added to lecture each week would allow more time for class discussion. “The major reason for this is to allow incorporation of more case studies,” he said. “In the past, we’ve attempted to cover the general patterns of immunology and how the immune system works.”
offices, colleges and departments to facilitate our efforts,” he said. Michael Bradd, a communication studies professor and member of the search committee, said he joined the committee because his department works closely with the dean. “Our department works with the continuing education on a fairly frequent basis, and so we just wanted to make sure the best possible person is selected for the position,” he said. Hine will be leaving his position on June 30, but he said he would return to Eastern to teach classes and conduct projects in the College of Education and Professional Studies.

Tucker said additional lecture material would cover specific diseases and epidemics. “Students agree and have often asked in their course evaluations to have more coverage in those areas,” he said. Revisions to the communications disorders and sciences program were also approved during the meeting. One change will add “BUS 2810: Business Statistics” to the degree requirements. Lynn Calvert, a professor of communications disorders and sciences, said the change would align students with new standards for certification by the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association. Another change will replace an elementary education course with a family and consumer sciences course. “The reason for the displacement is due to the fact that elementary education is changing their undergraduate program, and that changed the content in that course, and we felt that the FCS course better met the requirements our students needed,” Calvert said. The council also approved “OPD 3020: Principles of Organizational and Professional Development,” a new course that was tabled during the previous meeting for revisions to the learning objectives.

Team heads to meet in Macomb By Aldo Soto Assistant Sports Editor The Eastern swim team has used the 34-day break between meets to implement power training, focusing on strength and endurance prior to its meet at Western Illinois. For the last two weeks after the entire team underwent a mid-season training camp, head coach Elliott McGill has made subtle changes to the practices. “Since (the swimmers) came back from break we’ve had our nose to the ground, working hard,” McGill said. “We’ve been focusing more on intense sets rather than on yardage during practices.” The Panthers will have a unique meet starting on Friday, the first of the two-day long meet where the Fighting Leathernecks will play host with the South Dakota Coyotes also competing. McGill said he is looking forward to see how the swimmers will adapt to the two-day meet, which will have several events each day. “I want to see how much energy the swimmers have and I’m looking for improvement on technique at the meet,” McGill said. South Dakota head coach Jason Mahowald said it would be a challenge for the Coyotes. “I think Western and Eastern are both improved from last season and
3-POINTERS

“They ended up getting them both,” Spoonhour said. “One was put back for a dunk and another they made a 3-pointer.” Eastern managed to hold NBA-talents guard Isaiah Canaan and forward Ed Daniel below their season averages. Daniel was kept at just 10 points and nine rebounds – compared to his season average of 15.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Four of Daniel’s nine rebounds were on the offensive glass. The Racers won the rebounding battle 31-21. Whereas Canaan was held to 17 points (averaging 21.9 this season) he dished out six assists. “He still made plays when he couldn’t shoot,” Spoonhour said. “We forced him to drive it, and that’s when kicked it out. When he couldn’t shoot, he passed it.” Despite his six assists, the nation’s sixth leading scorer was forced to commit five turnovers by Eastern. “(Morris Woods) did a nice job guarding Canaan,” Spoonhour said. “Several players did. Austin Akers did too, and even Cameron Harvey. But, you can’t disrupt good players like that, only slow them down.” Eastern will look to slow down Austin Peay standout transfer guard Travis Betran at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Clarksville, Tenn.
I think we are improving at this point of the season, it will be a good test for us,” Mahowald said. “We added in this meet so we would have a little more of an idea of what to expect from the conference before we got into the championships.” The Panthers have already raced against Western once this season at the House of Champions meet hosted by IUPUI in late November and the first couple days of December. The Leathernecks men’s team out raced the Panther men 1268-1041 but the Eastern women’s team beat its counterparts 780-470. McGill said the team has been gradually improving during practice as the season has progressed, adding that the bad days swimmers may have in practice are declining. “The margin between good and bad days is narrowing,” McGill said. “There are a lot less bad days compared to earlier in the season.” The Panthers are striving to set a base for their performance at this meet, using it as a measuring stick for their future competitions, McGill said. The first event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Friday at the Brophy Hall Pool in Macomb, while the Saturday meet will start at 11 a.m. Aldo Soto can be reached at 581-2812 or asoto2@eiu.edu.

Both teams are good at rebounding the ball, too, Buchanan said. He said the team that grabs the most rebounds will have the best chance to win. Right now, Eastern is a confident basketball team, Buchanan said, especially coming off of a 10-point victory over Tennessee Tech. The Panthers did a lot of things right in the game against Tennessee Tech, including getting rebounds, making free throws and shooting the ball well. Buchanan said the Panthers will have to do all of those things well to beat Austin Peay on Saturday. The game is set to tip-off at 5:15 p.m. Saturday in Clarksville, Tenn.
By Dominic Renzetti Opinions Editor Junior for ward Andrew Maronich is still sticking to his guarantee that the Eastern hockey club will leave Iowa this weekend with a pair of wins. Maronich told The Daily Eastern News on Monday that he personally guarantees two wins this weekend against the University of Iowa. “I am still sticking to the guarantee,” he said. “I am confident because we all know that we aren’t playing well right now, and that needs to change. As a team we have worked hard on and off the ice in order to be ready for this weekend.”
The Eastern hockey club (8-9-3) hasn’t won since Dec. 1 against Louisville and has since lost four straight games. Senior forward Michael Sorrentino said he thinks Iowa is not as good as the last two teams the Panthers have played, Illinois State and Missouri State. “We know that they aren’t as good as the last two teams that we have played, but that being said, they aren’t a cake walk either,” the team captain said. “They are going to come out hard against us on their home ice. They have a much better record while playing at home than on the road, so we need to come ready to play.” Iowa enters the weekend with a re-
cord of 12-13-1. Like the Panthers, Iowa has also played Illinois State and Missouri State. The Hawkeyes split with Illinois State in early December, losing the first game 8-1, but winning the second 6-5. Also like the Panthers, Iowa was swept by Missouri State, losing both games by scores of 13-1 and 16-2 in October. The Hawkeyes have a long weekend of hockey ahead, playing a two game series against Waldorf on Friday and Saturday before hosting the Panthers on Sunday and Monday.All four games are at the Coral Ridge Ice Arena in Coralville, Iowa. “We know that they have played a heavy schedule, but I’m sure they
are going to be ready to go against us,” junior defenseman Steven Kriegshauser said. “Any team in this league is conditioned well enough to play a heavy schedule.” Kriegshauser said he expects an entertaining game. “They are going to come out ready to play, and so are we,” he said. “So get your popcorn ready, it’s going to be a good one.” The puck is scheduled to drop at 3 p.m. Sunday in Coralville, Iowa, with the second game starting at 10 a.m. on Monday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL | AWAY GAME
3-pointers hit team hard By Anthony Catezone Sports Editor
DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Senior guard Ta’Kenya Nixon makes her way down the court during Eastern’s game against Jacksonville State Saturday in Lantz Arena.
A tale as old as time By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter The storyline almost never changes when the Eastern women’s basketball team readies to play Austin Peay. The Panthers are 8-1 against Austin Peay during the regular season, but 0-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament against the Lady Govs since 2007. “ They’ve ended three of our (OVC) tournaments in the last five years,” Eastern headcoach Lee Buchanan said. “There’s a natural rivalry because of that.” This year, though, Eastern is preparing to face a little bit different looking Austin Peay team, than the ones the Panthers have played in the past. Austin Peay is without two of its staple players from the past four seasons — Whitney Hanley and Jasmine Rayner, both graduated. Also, Austin Peay has struggled this season, rather than playing Eastern as one of the conference’s top teams. Austin Peay is 0-4 in conference play and 5-11 overall. “They’re kind of going through a rebuilding time right now,” Buchan-
an said. “They might not have won a game in the conference yet, but this is not a bad club.” One aspect that hasn’t changed is the coach. Carrie Daniels is in her seventh season with Austin Peay. Two years ago, when Eastern went to the OVC Tournament as the No. 2 seed, Austin Peay upset the Panthers as the No. 5 seed. After the game, former Eastern head coach Brady Sallee called Daniels one of the best coaches in the OVC. Austin Peay’s Meghan Bussabarger is one of its top returning players. She leads the team in points, scoring 12.3 points per game. Buchanan said tempo will be a key part of Saturday’s game because Eastern and Austin Peay try run the game a different way. Austin Peay scores 63.2 points per game and likes to play at a slower pace than Eastern, Buchanan said. The Panthers prefer scoring in the mid-1970s. When the Panthers score at least 70 points, they’re 10-0 this season; whereas, when they score 69 or fewer points, they’re 0-7.

A three-point deficit at halftime quickly spiraled into a 21-point loss for the Eastern men’s basketball team. The Panthers headed into halftime trailing the host Racers 27-24. “We were in the game and we didn’t do anything spectacular,” head coach Jay Spoonhour said. “We were just playing smart, playing good defense, and we only had one turnover all half.” With 17:33 in the second half, Eastern had knotted the west division leader of the Ohio Valley Conference 31-31. Murray State then rolled off six straight 3-pointers, while capping off an 18-2 Racer run over a five and a half minute span. “A lot of (Murray State’s) threepointers on that run came off drives inside,” Spoonhour said. “We were forced to help inside on defense. We weren’t able to keep them in front of us.” Eastern lost to OVC preseason favorite Murray State 70-49 Thursday night, was large in part to Murray State’s explosive offense in the second half. Murray State outscored Eastern 43-25 in the second half. Spoonhour said the Panthers tried to switch up their defensive scheme from man-to-man to a zone defense, but even then, the Racers were able to find the open man. The Racers shot 75 percent from 3-point range (9-of-12) and shot 68 percent overall in the second half. The Panthers dropped their 12th consecutive game, falling to 3-16 overall and 0-6 in conference play. The Racers, meanwhile, improve to 13-4 overall and 4-1 in the OVC. Eastern clawed back into the contest with a 9-3 run of its own to narrow the game 52-42, but Murray State would close out the game on an 18-7 run, solidifying its fourth conference win. T h e Pa n t h e r h e l d t h e R a c ers more than two offensive rebounds less than their game average. Spoonhour said those few offensive rebounds were key because at times Eastern was unable to corrall them. “ There were a couple of re ally big rebounds in there,” he said. “There were two when we were trailing by eight points and

chance points, coming at key moments for the Racers.

TR ACK & FIELD | NOTEBOOK
Key players prepare for early bird home meet By Jaime Lopez Verge Editor The Eastern men’s and women’s track and field teams will continue the indoor season when it hosts the John Craft Invitational. The Panthers will be competing against Arkansas State, Greenville College and the Illinois Track Club. The John Craft Invitational meet is named in honor John Craft, a former Eastern athlete and an Olympic athlete. The meet will kick off at 9 a.m. Saturday with the throw, and running events are set to begin at 11 a.m., with the 60-meter hurdles starting off the races.
The Panthers last competed at the EIU Early Bird Meet on Dec. 7. After breaking school records and ranking among the top 10 in the NCAA this season, pole-vaulter Jade Riebold is looking to build on her previous success and score well at this meet. Over winter break Riebold altered her training regiment. The red-shirt junior pole-vaulter moved back her run 13 feet back, meaning she will be running a longer distance before pole-vaulting. She said altering her technique allowed her to change her pace as she runs from the starting line. “It allows me to run faster when I’m
coming down the lane,” Riebold said. Riebold’s goal for the end of the indoor season is to break the American indoor record, which happens to be 14feet, 11-inches, Riebold said. Pole-vaulting coach Kyle Ellis said that his athletes are coming off of a winter break that was filled with extraneous practice days. “They’re ready to PR (personal record),” Ellis said. “I would even say that they’re in the best shapes of their lives.” He said he is hoping for the men to place first through third at the Early Bird Meet. Red-shirt junior Mick Viken recently cleared 17-feet, 5-inches at the Early Bird Meet.
Viken said that over break he was able to do more gymnastic-like training. He said that for this meet he will clear 18 feet at this meet if he sets himself up right. As for the competition, Viken said there will be other pole-vaulters who have cleared 18 feet. He said that it will make for a good competition. For the end of the indoor season, he plans on jumping 18-feet, 5-feet or 18feet, 6-inches to have a shot at nationals Riebold and fellow senior Abbie Schmitz, Ellis said, are hopefuls for this season, and he said there are a few freshmen that are vying for that third
spot. Other performances to look out for will take place on the track. Sean Wiggan will be running in the 800-meter dash after hitting a time of 1:53.33, a time that is ranked in the top 50 this season. Freshman Calvin Edwards, junior Cody Boarman and senior Bryce Hogan also ranked in the top 50 in their own individual events. Junior hurdler Jalisa Paramore also ranked in the top 50 earlier this season in the 60-meter hurdles. Jaime Lopez can be reached at 581-2812 or jlopez2@eiu.edu.

From Chicago to Charleston
Old Shoe sets up show at Uptowner By Jaime Lopez Verge Editor
Old Shoe formed in 2011 when their vocalist, Joe Day, migrated to Illinois after living life as a musician in Alaska. At that point in time, Day said his band mates were forming a new band and looking for another member to complete their quartet. Day, who had never known life outside of the Alaska, said moving to Chicago (where the band resides) opened his ears to the infinite styles of music in existence. “It’s a big hub of creativity; you have art and music everywhere,” Day said. And while the band members lead lives outside of the band, Day said they’re still working to build a musical career for themselves. “We’re trying to make this our dream,” Day said. Old Shoe has played at venues all across the country, but Day said their performance at Summer Camp, a music festival in Chillicothe, Ill., laid the groundwork for their professional career. “It started to set the procedure for the kind of places we want to play at,” Day said. Day said it is almost a battle of the bands to obtain a spot at the festival. “It’s really hard to get a spot and play there. There are so many bands vying for an opportunity to play at that level,” Day said. Day said the band has been invited to play at the festival again. Day said his band’s music retains an imprint of the zeal of the city. Moving to the city exposed him to his favorite bands and styles of music. “I’ve gotten to see my deepest influences, which gives me the experience of improvisation,” Day said. Before, Day accessed his favorite bands through a set of speakers.
Watching live music inspired him and the band artistically, Day said. “It (live music) gives us perspective as to what we need to do in our progression,” Day said. But being able to listen to the bands that have inspired him without the use of a stereo has been gratifying for him personally. “In Alaska, you don’t have access to some of these bands because they’re not willing to travel all the way there,” Day said. Touring constantly has worn him and the band out while touring from place to place. “It can be physically demanding, touring for hours at a time,” Day said. He and his wife construct the set for each show they play. “ We b u i l d a l i g h t s h ow f ro m t h e ground with every performance, and that, as well as the performance, can wear a person out,” Day said. Through their various performances, Day acknowledged that the band has pulled performance techniques from other bands to further enhance to their own stage presence. “You learn so much from other bands while you’re out touring, about chord progression and how to alter something onstage so that it sounds better,” Day said. Though already playing in the big league festivals, Day said the band is still in a point of transition since its members still want to capitalize on their success and make music their living. “We have a lot more we want to do, and there a lot places we hope to get to in the end,” Day said. Old Shoe will be performing at 9 pm. Friday at the Uptowner. Tickets cost $5. Jaime Lopez can be reached at 5812812

‘Zero Dark Thirty’: controversially magnificent 'LongLiveA$AP' worth wait Since her 2008 film, “The Hurt Locker” Katherine Bigelow has shown us a tan fatigue just looks better when seen through the lens of her camera. Coupled with the gripping tone of writer Mark Boal, the combination makes for some tasty oscar bait. In Zero Dark Thirty, the duo reaches nirvana once again. This being said, the film is not your typical “Dirty Dozen” shoot em’ up about the triumph of freedom over the evil terrorists. This film is an intense depiction of the series of inquiries and events which led to a necessary act of violent vengeance. From the fist brutally confronting audio of 9/11 distress callers, to the disturbingly real final raid scene, this true story keeps you invested for the entire 157 minutes. Scenes of torturous interrogation offer a myriad of ethical dilemmas while the realization of Bin Ladin’s tangible danger to humanity help to keep those dilemmas in check. A chilling tone of realism and an attention to detail allow for a real evaluation of context and c h a r a c t e r, e s p e c i a l l y w h e n i t comes to the distant heroin found in Maya, played by Jessica Chastain. The film follows her decadelong man hunt, a process whose s t r u g g l e s r a n g e f ro m w a d i n g through government bureaucracy to ill-faded attempts on own her life. Chastain’s performance earned her an oscar nod for Best Actress.
By Ryan Dolph Staff Reporter
There are some critics who turn their nose at the films procedural format. “...the film is sort of an elongated (very elongated) episode of “Law and Order”...” Detroit News film critic Tom Long said. There is some credence to the fact that this is no ten piece puzzle. The story is a bit more complicated than your average episode of Law and Order. The difference, for me at least, is the fact that these events are captivating and real. All together the film has received 5 Nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress, Film Editing, Sound Editing, and Original Screenplay. Many critics were outraged that Bigelow did not receive a nod for Best Director, along with a number of other surprising oscar snubs this year. Along with this controversy, there are still other’s brewing in even higher circles, namely the US Senate. Certain aspects of the film, like the metaphorical cipher of Chas-
tain’s character representing the tenacity of what was, in reality, an entire team, are obviously thematic elements of a fictional drama. However, the film’s recent investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee gives one pause as to just how accurate the “real” events in this film actually are. The committee will investigate the film crew’s inappropriate access to confidential information, objecting that the films use of torture was inaccurate. It is ultimately up to the viewer to decide how far he think’s our government was willing to go to take down the worlds most wanted man. It can be certain, though, that the roll this Senate investigation plays in the exposition or conciliation of what truly took place will never fully be understood, which makes the stone cold believability of this film all the more compelling. The very last scene challenges the viewer in a way that only an honest film can, leaving the audience with an unexpected yet vividly emotional tone that will leave some viewers with a sense of closure and others scratching their heads. It it this kind of refreshingly non-conventional look at something so completely passe like a war drama, that keeps me buying overpriced popcorn with a smile. For me, this film gets five out of five gum balls. Ryan Dolph can be reached at 581-2812 or at rgdolph@eiu.edu.

When a musician pushes back his much-hyped debut album two times, he needs it to deliver. Luckily for A$AP Rocky, it does. Rocky start came from promise. With his mixtape “LiveLoveA$AP,” he caught the attention of the industry quickly. It scored him a spot at last year’s SXSW, Pitchfork's summer music festival and as an opening act for Drake. Since his skyrocketing fame, Rocky has, as he describes on track “PMW (All I Really Need)” indulged in a women, material possessions and recreational drugs, to put it nicely (you can take a guess as to what the song’s acronym really stands). But that doesn’t mean he’s developed an ego. At heart, he’s still the same kid from Harlem; now he just mixes his past and present influences to create dynamite music. He juxtaposes himself on “Suddenly,” discussing how his success that happened overnight was fueled by a childhood that produced the “shit that made him rhyme”: “(We had) shootouts like one SIG with two rounds....That’s everyday s***, s*** we used to that.” Then on “Fashion Killa,” it’s almost a complete 180. He repeatedly admits he’s trendy and rolls with girls who are immersed in expensive taste. It’s basically a who’s who in the designer world as he casually name drops Prada and Dolce and Gabbana. Oh, and he “can’t forget about Escada, and that Balenciaga.” On “Goldie,” which was released early last summer, he talks about chains coming from Cuba and red bottom loafers “just to compliment the mink.” Rocky isn’t all about hype, though. He may be celebrating, but he’s still just doing his thing regardless, rapping effortlessly over slickly produced, often collaborated tracks. While collaborations can sometimes take away from an album by making it sound overdone
By Sara Hall Online Editor
and feel more like a PR move, for “LongLiveA$AP,” it’s the highlight. Rocky rings in your expected rap and hip hop names, like Kendrick Lamar, 2Chainz and SchoolboyQ, but he also brings in respected Santigold, dubstep king Skrillex and even dark Florence Welch. Surprise collabs like these could seem like shock just for the sake of shock, but they work well. Song “Wild For The Night,” in which Skrillex works some synth magic, is a smooth track designed to make a weekend party playlist, and even the most anti-dubstep listener can’t help but get into it. Rocky also does some more expected collaborations, like on standout “1Train.” Respected contemporary rappers Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown, Action Bronson and Big K.R.I.T. flow effortlessly. The album does have its tiring moments, mainly because at times, it all starts to sound the same. Rocky’s signature deep voice overs can sound monotonous and, at times, lulling. The rapper’s biggest strength is his ability to adapt and make the music his own. The beats and rhythm are stamped with his style. And if he has this much style on a debut, just wait to see what’s to come. Download these: “I Come Apart,” “Suddenly,” “1Train” Sara Hall can be reached at 581-2812 or at smhall3@eiu.edu.

Borzi takes big leap, opens photo gallery at J.A.C. Stephanie White Verge Reporter
After 10 years of taking pictures and using the Internet as a gallery, Mark Borzi has decided open up his own exhibition. Borzi, a communication studies professor, is showing his photography at the Jackson Avenue Coffee this month. Some photos in the show are from his trips in Australia and New Zealand from over a span of three years. “The sea lion photo and Peters Pond photo, which looks like a postcard, are the ones that were taken on the trip,” Borzi said. The main thing that had turned his eye to photography trying and capture what he is seeing and trying to bring the story back with him. All photographs, however, are from around the world. “The show is designed with six panels made up of three photos. Each panel represents different aspects of photography,” Borzi said. “I wanted to choose photos that demonstrated what I do and what I have been doing.” The first panel is of animals in motion, which are shown as if the animals are alive and breathing in the photos. The second one is made up of sunsets, which are vibrant and full of color. The third one is of oceans, water views, and landscapes, which seems as if the water is actually running within the photos. The fourth panel is black and white photos and the last two panels are close ups, which show detail of the subjects. Borzi said the photo people responded to is one of a spider web where he snaps a close up shot of the web covered in dew. “It’s fun because since it’s pretty much self taught, all photos have been new," Borzi said. "It has been fun exploring it, seeing how they came out, then thinking about the next set of photos what they would be like.” Borzi is self taught, which was fun for him to explore it and see how his photos came out. This got him to think about his next set of photos and what they would be like.
JAIME LOPEZ | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Mark Borzi has been taking photographs of Australia since his first trip to the country. He plans on going back and getting more pictures in the coming years.
Borzi picks different themes and different things to capture. At the moment he’s waiting for the right night to take his next set of photos. He also plans on taking photos of the Northern Lights. “Everyday I look online to see if there is a solar flare that would lead to seeing them this far south. If that doesn’t work, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making a trip up north to try to catch them.” Borzi looks online everyday to check for the solar flares that would lead to seeing the Northern Lights and if it doesn’t work then he will most likely be making the trip up north. Borzi felt excitement while taking these set of photos.
He is full of excitement when he takes a photo because what he captures is only there for a moment. “I don’t have a lot of time to plan photos, they are only there for only a moment and when captured there is a sense of excitement and gratification,” he said. He joked with his wife, telling her at he would rather be in the back of the coffee shop than be in the front. He says that when it comes to putting yourself out there in front of the public it is always a nervous moment. “It’s always nervous putting yourself out in front of the public. As I was telling my wife I joked and said I was going to hide
in the back instead of being in the front.” He said he enjoyed watching people looking at different photos and is always struck by how people have an attraction to different photos. Each photo has a story behind it and he tried to have the image shown first then the story because he wants to see how people react to the image and then they will read the story. “Another thing I find interesting is, because each photo has a story and I tried to have both image and then the stories, to see how people react to both the image first then typically they will then read the story,” Borzi said. He believes that this makes the
photos more meaningful, when they can see the story that is behind them. Borzi says that he is pleased with the show. He said he, like many photographers, has his own personal critique to determine what needs to change in his artwork. “But with any photographer there is always critique and always ‘I can do a little bit better’ and ‘I might do it a little bit differently next time’,” Borzi said.

'Workaholics' star talks about career, future of TV show By Jaime Lopez Verge Editor
Adam Demamp’s name is synonymous with havoc and drinking, but Adam Devine, one of the stars of “Workaholics,” said he’s nothing like his character on the popular TV show. Devine mentioned that his character could never actually exist in the real world and have any hope of survival. “Adam would never survive in the real world; his antics would probably get him into a lot of trouble,” Devine said. However, like his character who coincidentally happens to be a salesman, Devine also held a similar job for four years. “I sold steaks over the telephone,” Devine said with a laugh. Devine’s professional career began when he moved to Los Angeles. While there he auditioned for The Second City, a special school devoted to molding future comedians and improv professionals, and met Anders Holm (Anders Holmvik).
Having already known Kyle Newacheck (executive producer) and Blake Anderson (Blake Henderson), the quartet launched a grass roots web series called “5th Year” and caught the eye of executives at Comedy Central, landing a deal for a show. “We made like 80 videos. Luckily someone saw us,” Devine said. For Devine, the experience was surreal. “It was like winning the lottery,” Devine said. Their success, Devine said, has only been compounded by Comedy Central’s request for a fourth and fifth season. Earlier this year, “Workaholics” was rated the second highest-rated show on cable on Tuesday nights with men 18 to 34, according to Nielsen Media, a company that studies television ratings. Devine said the writers and creators of the show never actually intended to appeal to a specific demographic, not that he is ungrateful. “It’s just the kind of humor guys like,” Devine said. “I’m glad
we tapped into that, but we never set out to reach a certain demographic,” Devine said. He said he believes that young people identify with the show because of the characters’ adventures, which typically involve drinking and childish pranks and irresponsible behavior.
fect,” a film about acapella singers, and plans on working in another film with his co-stars from the show. The movie will not have any relation to “Workaholics,” and Devine included that Seth MacFarlane will join the trio as a producer for their unnamed project.

“The premise of the show relates to people in college because they’re in that phase where they are about to become adults,” Devine said. For Devine, his rise to fame has gone according to plan. He said he feels like he’s accomplished the goals he wished and worked so hard for. “It’s how I wanted things to go for me,” Devine said. Recently, he starred in “Pitch Per-

His character also coined the phrase “Let’s get weird,” which he said viewers usually mention to him when they see him out on the town.
“It’s cool, I just hope it doesn’t become weird or cheesy,” Devine said. The phrases that trickled down into the show’s script all came from the cast’s real-life friendship. When coming up with ideas for each episode, Devine and the rest of the cast sit together and work closely with the writers to mold the final product to their liking. Devine said the writing crew has yet to cross the line when it comes to the humor. “ We just want to be funny. We’re not trying to do jokes that are just for shock value, we’re just going for fart jokes,” he joked. As for the second part of season three, Devine decided not divulge any details about the show and his character’s development. “I’m not revealing anything. You have to watch the show if you want to know what’s going to happen,” Devine said. Jaime Lopez can be reached at 581-2812 or jlopez2@eiu.
