Anyone with ‘Barn Party’ information asked to come forward By Bob Galuski News Editor @DEN_News The Charleston Police Department issued a release on their Facebook page asking for any witnesses from the “Barn Party” shooting on Sept. 15 to help aid in their investigation. Anyone with information regarding the shooting, which took place at 634 W. State St., is urged to contact the CPD or the University Police Department. Anyone who has information can call 217-345-8422 to speak with a detective. Those with information who wish to leave a tip anonymously can call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-345-8488. People can also go to the Crime Stoppers website at www.colescountycrimestoppers.org to leave a tip after following the link on the right side of the page. Lt. Brad Oyer of the CPD said the department has been using social media outlets like Facebook to help with investigations for a while. “It’s always provided a good tool,” he said. “I can’t tell you the amount of times it’s helped out.” The “Barn Party” shooting investigation is still ongoing, Oyer said. “Detectives have been working hard to run down any information they can,” Oyer said. So far in the investigation, two men have been arrested in connection to the shooting. Marquis Green, 24, of Park Forest, Ill., and Kajuan Wright, 23, of DeKalb, Ill., were arrested on Sept. 15 after allegedly deterring attempts by police officers to provide assistance to the injured victims, a press release sent by the Charleston Police Department stated. The “Barn Party” shooting occurred on Sept. 15 and two gunshot victims and one battery victim were taken to Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center. Oyer said he did not have an update on the condition of the victims, and the hospital does not release patient information. Oyer said those wishing to leave a tip anonymously should use Crime Stoppers. “With Crime Stoppers, they stay anonymous,” Oyer said. He added that along with social media, Crime Stoppers was a good tool for law enforcement. According to the release posted to the CPD’s Facebook page, a cash payment can be made to anyone who leaves a tip that leads to an arrest. The anonymous caller will receive a code and after the arrest has been made, the caller calls back in with the code. “Crime Stoppers assures that the caller remains anonymous with no pressure to reveal their identity and still collect their awards,” the release stated. Bob Galuski can be reached at 581-2812 or rggaluski@eiu.edu.
By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News The scene is a dimmed 7th Street Underground with a well-lit stage to set the mood for creativity through spoken word to present the “The Brave New Voices” poetry slam. David Groves, a senior management major and UB Mainstage coordinator, approached the stage to present the first poet. Groves put emphasis on the fact that all the poets performing were performing original pieces. In addition, Groves presented each poet by stating a quote from the poet themselves. The first poet to perform from the majority female line-up was Dominique Miles-Rodgers, a sophomore family and consumer sciences major. Groves introduced MilesRodgers by giving her quote, “She enjoys writing and has always had a passion for expressing herself through her words.” Miles-Rodgers performed a poem that discussed the obstacles a female has to face when searching for “real love,” while the audience sat in silence, eye focused on the stage. Asha Hoover, a junior therapeutic recreation major, performed her poem, “What color is love,” a poem about the issues of adopting a child of the opposite race. Hoover interacted with the crowd, asking them “what color is love?” The substance of Hoover’s poem and her performance resulted in a series of claps, snaps and cheers from the crowd. But, the performance that sent the crowd into an extreme uproar was Tiarra ‘Mello’ Webb’s version of “Black Woman” by poet T. Miller. Webb is a sophomore athletic

training major. Webb’s poetry flow, eye contact and enthusiasm won the crowd over. The poem by T. Miller described the oppression and success of African American women in the past and the present, mentioning names like Harriet Tubman and Oprah Winfrey. Webb even went as far inside her as to encouraging the African American males in the audience to show more respect towards African American women. Travon Moore, a sophomore pre-business accounting major, said he enjoyed Webb’s poetry the most.
“My favorite was Tiarra Webb’s poetry,” he said. “I loved the enthusiasm of the crowd.” Cailley Young, a freshman biological sciences major, said she enjoyed Webb’s poem as well. “I liked Mello’s performance, that was a nice performance,” Young said. “It connected to me.” Other performers included Shamerea Richards, a junior business marketing major, and Alexis Bentley, a senior mass communications major, who recited a poem titled “Little Girl.” Jalisa Israel, a corporate communications major and the special events chairwoman for NAACP,
performed a poem that encouraged minorities to stand up for their rights. Xavier Menzies Jr., a sophomore English major and the only male performer for the night, performed two of his original rap songs for the crowd. The poetry slam ended with an open mic session available to the students in attendance. The crowd cheered once Paulette Horton, a junior psychology major, approached the stage and performed her own version of Beyonce’s song “One Plus One.”

Professor weighs in on food stamp cut By Robert Downen Administration Editor @DEN_news Ongoing battles on Capitol Hill over slashes to the national food stamps program could have drastic effects on the Charleston and Coles County area, one Eastern professor said. Michael Gillespie, an assistant professor of sociology who has researched and worked extensively with local poverty and hunger, said the Charleston and Mattoon areas are especially susceptible to cuts because of the high number of residents who rely on government programs for food. Currently, one-quarter of all Coles County families, including two in five children, are food insecure, meaning they lack permanent
access to meals that fulfill even basic dietary needs. The pending legislation, which narrowly passed the House last week, demands a $40 billion cut to the SNAP program over the next decade. Yet despite estimates from the Congressional Budget Office that the bill could cost $764 billion over the next decade as is, Gillespie said the $40 billion cut still unfairly targets the needy. “I think it’s an awful idea,” Gillespie said. “It’s going to cut eligibility; it’s going to cut access to the program; it’s going to deny people who need help, help, all based on this idea that there’s this fraudulent population taking advantage of the system, and that population doesn’t exist.” While a White House veto threat
and a Democrat-controlled Senate both make passage of the bill highly unlikely, Gillespie still said the notion of prominent fraud within the program is bothersome, and based mostly on misconceptions of impoverished Americans. “Over half of the people on SNAP are kids,” he said. “The other half is made up of people who work low-wage jobs, elderly people and the disabled.” He also noted fraud rates for the SNAP program are actually lower than those for agricultural subsidies, which until this year, would have traditionally passed as a part of the pending Farm Bill. “It always kind of mystifies me that we don’t talk about millionaires getting millions of dollars in subsidies, but we talk about someone who needs food assistance cheating
a little bit to put some extra food in their belly,” he said. Regardless of the SNAP program’s future, Gillespie said that despite the county’s serious poverty levels, he still often witnesses hostility towards lower-income individuals, a problem he views as symptomatic of myths surrounding welfare programs. He recalled a particular episode in a grocery store check-out line, where a woman had separated her order—baby formula, bananas and some bread— according to how she would pay. Gillespie said the woman was holding food stamps from SNAP as well as WIC, a nutrition service for woman who are about to or have recently given birth.

Historic site celebrates fall harvest with festival By Darronté Matthews Staff Reporter @DEN_News A celebration of fall’s arrival and the harvest season will take place at the annual Lincoln Log Cabin Harvest Frolic on Saturday and Sunday. Families and friends in the Illinois area can travel to Lerna, approximately eight miles south of Charleston, and head over to the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site’s Harvest Frolic. The two day event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Site Manager Matthew Mittelstaedt said this was a way for families not familiar with the area to experience some of its history. “This is a chance for the public to visit the former home of Abraham Lincoln’s family and celebrate the harvest,” he said.
During the festival, there will be activities such as “The Dipping Cup Race.” The race will require people to try to fill up a container with water, using a cup with a hole, requiring multiple trips back and forward to refill the cup. Children will also have the opportunities to have hands-on experiences on both days by learning how to drive oxen, with actual oxen pulling them. The celebration embodies the pioneer era, not only with its themed activities and food, but also with the costumed celebrators, Mittlestaedt said. “The interpreters will be completely dressed up as people from the 19th century,” he said. Among other activities are children scavenger hunts, cast-iron skillet tosses, 19th century crafting activities, cooking and doll making.
Some of the crafted materials, such as soap, furniture, carved wood, paintings and more, will be sold afterward. There will also be live entertainment present both days for the celebration. Musical acts such as the Red Bank ReUnion Band – Indiana’s only on-going civil war band, the Sacred Harp Shape Note Singers and others will be performing for the frolic. The harvest will include volunteering opportunities for individuals to assist with the interpretive site’s activities by selling beverages, such as apple cider. This celebration has been happening for more than 30 years, and is completely free to attend. Darronté Matthews can be reached at 581-2812 or dqmatthews@eiu.edu.

Jeanne Goble, senior library assistant, reads to children from the Charleston community, Saturday Feb. 2 at 10 a.m. in the Booth Library. Eastern’s library hosts six Storytime events each semester.
Musicians to aid with Storytime By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News The EIU CrossBones and the Ballenger Teachers Center are hosting a Storytime Saturday at Booth Library for children and their parents. As a part of Family Weekend, EIU CrossBones and the center will be hosting a Storytime program. This Storytime has a music-theme titled “1234: Solos, Duets, Trios, Quartets.” Storytime is a free event intended for children 2 to 10 years old and their parents. Jeanne Goble, a senior library specialist, said this program is a musical experience focusing on trombones. The program will be led by Jemmie Robertson, the director of EIU Cross-
Bones, tenor and bass trombonist and a professor of music, “(Robertson’s) grand opening for BTC Storytime will be a musical/literature program, focusing on trombones,” Goble said in an email. Goble said Storytime focuses on positive messages for their children through readings. “We present multicultural and holiday-themed stories with positive messages,” she said. Goble said the attendees will also get a chance to participate in crafts and activities at Storytime. For the “1234: Solos, Duets, Trios, Quartets” storytime program, children will be able to participate in an instrument petting zoo where they will be able to touch and experiment with the instruments.
The instrument petting zoo will take place after the program in addition to a question and answer session. Goble said the Storytime at Booth Library program was created by Ann Brownson, the coordinator of the Ballenger Teacher Center, “She originated the Storytime program as an entertaining, literacy enrichment program for children from the campus and local communities,” Goble said. Though the fact that this program is intended for children and their parents on Eastern’s campus and in Charleston, the library’s website said this event is open to the public. Goble said Storytime programs are constructed with the help of funds from the library and donations from organizations,
“Funding for Storytime supplies and events are supported by Booth Library funds and the generous donations of participating individual organizations’ time and resources,” Goble said. There will be more Storytime programs for the fall semester on Oct. 5, 12 and 26, and Nov. 2, 9 and 16. All programs will be in the morning from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the BTC. For more information on Storytime at Booth Library interested people can contact Ann Brownson at aebrownson@eiu.edu or at 217-5818442. Marcus Curtis can be reached at 581-2812 or mscurtis@eiu.edu.

Stevenson Tower Dining to host ‘70s night
By Kendra Cwikla Staff Reporter @DEN_NEWS A ‘70s themed dinner will take place at the Stevenson Grill Dining Center this Thursday for dinner at 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Students can expect everything from bell bottoms and platforms to disco style clothes to be worn by the servers
and patrons alike at the Stevenson Grill. At the themed dinner, students will be able to select their entrée and have the choice of a rib-eye steak, shrimp scampi or fettuccine Alfredo and vegetables with sides. They also may have Mexican tortilla soup or House or Caesar salad with their meal, along with dessert. Jamie Huckstead, the unit director for Stevenson Tower Dining, said this
themed dinner has been an annual tradition in Stevo Dining for five years now. “We like to do it just for a change of pace for the customers since Stevenson Tower Reservation Dining is an upscale event,” Huckstead said. “We like to throw in some theme nights about once a month to keep the excitement going.” Students who attend should not
expect the workers to be the only ones to dress up, though. Students have also dressed up in the past. Kendra Cwikla can be reached at581-2812 or kecwikla@eiu.edu.
Student Senate members announced there is a panther landmark in early development at their meeting on Wednesday in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The 8-foot tall landmark will reportedly be placed in next to the Union in the Library Quad. The landmark will consist of a mound of sculpted rock with a panther on top, similar to the landmark at Marty’s. Bianca Tomlin, the University Enhancement Committee chairwoman, said the design and placement of the statue is still tentative. The project will cost $75,000 to create. Tomlin said financing the project is one of the most important aspects she is focusing on. Student Body President Kaylia Eskew said the funding will not be taken from student fees. “We don’t want to pull that money away from other areas,” Eskew said. “It doesn’t mean we wont get any of it.” A couple of ways they plan on financing the project is allowing the sculpted rocks at the base to be sponsored as well as host online auctions. “We are toying back and forth, figuring out if they’re going to be sponsored rocks,” Tomlin said. “Because I know I want to do bricks around it that are going to be commemorative bricks for alumni or whoever donates to it.” She said the University Enhancement Committee wants to a have a memorable landmark for Eastern. “Eastern doesn’t really have one,” Tomlin said. “I would hate to say that Marty’s panther is a landmark at Eastern.” Eskew said she hopes it will be a tradition for graduation for students to touch the panther paw as they pass. The project is expected to be complete by Homecoming 2014. The senate also approved 12 student government positions. Student Senate’s next meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Arcola-Tuscola room of the Union. Jarad Jarmon can be r eached at 581-2812 or jsjarmon@eiu.edu.

Know victory or fail daring greatly Theodore Roosevelt is the toughest man in history. The only man I have ever read about that hunted bears, led a crack down on crime, and charged uphill in battle with a sword in an age of modern military tactics. Teddy Roosevelt is a man of a man, but he redefined manliness when he delivered his Citizenship in a Republic speech on April 23, 1910 in France. The most famous passage of which discusses, “The Man in the Arena”: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” As a journalist and an actor, I have grown a tougher skin to criticism in the last 22 years than most of my peers. Both of these profes-

I have been told before I’m, “unconventionally handsome” as an anchor at WEIU and have also been told that my improv in the on-campus comedy group Hello Dali has also been somewhat lack luster. As part of The Daily Eastern News, I have been criticized personally as being unfamiliar with the first and second amendments and overall just an idiot. I can and do accept all criticism and will continue to do so and at some point it’ll happen to you. But in everything I’ve done both professionally and personally I have set out for either two distinct possibilities: victory or to fail daring greatly. There is no way in hell you should ever allow someone who knows nothing about you or what you do to change your actions. Either way, nobody is going to remember the person who made the potshot at you when you made a speech with your pants down. They’re only going to Managing Editor Dominic Renzetti
remember that speech being one of the best speeches or parts of that class. Last semester as an anchor for WEIU “News Watch,” there were countless times when people would criticize my looks over my content; my hair, glasses, stubble, gut, too much, not enough, weird faces, vocal quality, etc. At best, it was a whirlwind of stress culminating into one of the best and most productive experiences of my life in journalism. At my worst, it was a whirlwind of stress culminating into a focused path of destruction not unlike the laser of the Death Star, from “Star Wars.” So the next time someone claims you should do “this” better or not do “that” remember you are the “Man in the Arena.” You’re the one with blood, dirt and sweat on your face. You’re the one in the middle of a crowd of people. Own it. This is your time. If there was someone better suited or more talented than you in this topic, they would be there. They’re not, so do what you were born to, get on that stage, and that critic in the back? Remember to shout this at the top of your lungs when you finish exercising your birth right, “Are you not entertained?” Sean Copeland is a senior journalism major.

As the woman gathered her groceries, Gillespie said the next person in line was visibly upset, “hemming and hawing” at the woman for paying through government assistance. The woman paid. But before leaving, turned and offered an apology to those in line, a sentiment that Gillespie said really bothered him. “She felt like she had to apologize for using what is her right to make sure her and her family could get some food on the table, and she followed the rules,” he said. “It really was a sight to see, and it wasn’t the first or last time this has happened.”
Gillespie said, unfortunately, these episodes are hardly anomalous—a fact he attributes to a widely held but drastically flawed perception of local and global poverty problems. “I think it’s one of the biggest misconceptions, if you ask me, in human relations,” he said. “Poverty is so easily covered-up on an individual level. Dayin and day-out you can pass people on the street who are destitute and never know it, yet we still have this idea that we can judge people based on that.”

Houlihan reflects on ejection against Northern Conerback will miss first half against Eastern Kentucky Saturday By Aldo Soto Assistant Sports Editor @AldoSoto21 @DEN_Sports Senior cornerback Pete Houlihan was ejected from Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois, and because of the targeting rule, the Eastern starter will also miss the first half against Eastern Kentucky in the Panthers’ Ohio Valley Conference opener on Saturday. With less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter against Northern, Houlihan delivered a shoulder to the head of Huskie receiver Angelo Sebastiano near the Huskies’ sideline. Sebastiano would have to be helped off the field with the aid coaches and trainers. A second after the Eastern cornerback hit Sebastiano, a flag was thrown. Not only did the penalty cost the Panther defense 15 yards it also led to Houlihan’s disqualification for the remainder of the game. “When I hit him initially, it kind of went through my head that I could get ejected after seeing him on the ground,” Houlihan said. The play began with Houlihan matched up against Da’Ron Brown, who was lined up near the Panther sideline. Northern quarterback Jordan Lynch was rushed out of the pocket as Eastern defensive lineman Pat Wertz chased him. As Lynch ran to his right, he threw the ball to Sebastiano.

Pete Houlihan, a senior defensive back, concentrates on an oncoming opponent during a game against Northern Illinois University, Saturday. Houlian was ejected from the game.
Even though Lynch did not throw across his body, his pass tailed to the right of Sebastiano, who reached out to make the catch. Brown, who Houlihan was originally covering, was running a drag route right across the middle of the field that led to Sebastiano, who was standing near the sideline. “I was going full speed and I saw a receiver with his hands up, going to catch the ball, and my reaction was to play fast and be physical and tackle him,” Houlihan said. “In the way that he came down, the position of his head was right where my shoulder was heading.” Houlihan said he was frustrated with the decision, especially because Eastern was losing 30-26 and

Panthers hope to rebound at SIUE By Dominic Renzetti Managing Editor @domrenzetti The Eastern hockey club (1-1), which is coming off an 11-5 loss to Illinois-Urbana Champaign in Danville, will play Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (0-2) Friday and Saturday in East Alton. The loss to the Illini was the Eastern’s first of the season, which saw the Panthers squander a first period lead. “We were leading 3-1 heading into the second period,” senior Chris Gallagher said. “We learned very quickly that we have to come to play for a full 60 minutes and not just 20.” The Panthers now take on a Southern Illinois-Edwardsville team, which is coming off two losses over the Illini’s Division I team. The Cougars lost to the Illini by scores of 6-0 and 9-2 last weekend in Champaign. The Cougars were one of the top teams in the ACHA last season, winning the MACHA Gold Division title and opening the year with 10 straight wins, including two over the Panthers. The Cougars topped the Panthers last September in an 8-7 overtime win, then cruised to a 14-2 victory the next day. Eastern’s seven goals against the Cougars were tied for the most scored by any team in the 2012-13 season against Edwardsville. Eastern’s leading scorer through its
first two games is freshman Steve Kinnison, who is coming off a hat-trick against Illinois. Freshman Brendan Terbrock leads the team with two assists. Senior Andrew Teske has stared each of the team’s first two games at goalie, while sophomore Zach Peifer, a transfer from Prairie State, saw his first action of the season against Illinois. Gallagher said the loss against Illinois was a learning experience for the team. “We learned a lot about ourselves as a team during this game,” he said. “We can use what we did wrong during the game and apply it at practice. There were definitely more negative things we did as a team than positives and now we get a week of practice to work out the kinks.” Edwardsville’s goalies Danny Selby and Jake Davis each saw time in goal in the two-game series with the Illini’s Division I team. Selby had 12 saves in the 9-2 loss, while Davis had 18. Selby played all of the 6-0 shutout, making 31 saves. Both goalies are new additions to the Cougar’s roster this season. Matt Burton and Taylor Emerick have the only two goals for the Cougars this season. The Panthers and the Cougars will square off at 9 p.m. Friday and 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the East Alton Ice Arena. Dominic Renzetti can be reached at 581-2812 or dcrenzetti@eiu.edu.
he was having a good game, collecting eight tackles and his first interception of the season. Eastern coach Dino Babers said he did not see the hit live, but after reviewing the film he said it was the correct decision by the officials. “Pete did not do it on purpose, but when you look at the act itself, I believe the officials got it right,” Babers said. Babers said he showed the play to the entire defense and explained to Houlihan that he would not appeal the call because he felt it would not be overturned. The targeting rule states players who target and contact defenseless opponents above the shoulders will be ejected.
»
The Football Rules Committee first approved the ejection clause of the rule in February and then the Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved it in March. Houlihan said once he saw the replay he understood that it was the right call, but said he did not think he could have avoided the hit in that situation. “The way he caught the ball and came down, I was already going full speed,” he said. “I didn’t really think there was a way for me to stop, and I was just playing football.” The targeting rule also states that when a player is ejected from the game in the second half, that player will also be out for the first half of

Sophomores Emily Hinton and Cortney Jerzy have also seen time in goal this season. Morgan, who did not see any playing time while at Kentucky because of injury, has faced 74 shots this season. The Panthers will take on Belmont for only the second time as an OVC opponent since the Bruins joined the conference last year. The Panthers won in the 2012 regular season finale with a 2-1 overtime victory at Lakeside Field. This year’s matchup will be at Rose Park in Nashville, Tenn. The Bruins enter this season with a record of 2-4-1 with wins over Toledo and Alabama State. The team’s last match was a 1-1 draw against Western Kentucky. Belmont has seven goals this season scored by six different players. Junior forward Allie Hicks is the only player with two, leading the team. Hicks appeared in all 19 matches for the Bruins last season, starting in three and recording two goals. Sophomore Cassie Blase has a team-high 18 shots and 12 shots on goal, but no points to show for it. Senior goalkeeper Nicole Ber-
the next game. Houlihan has started in all but three games since 2011. Babers said Houlihan’s absence will be great on Saturday. “The guy makes plays all over the field,” Babers said. “He’s one of our team leaders. It’s a big deal that he’s out for the first half.” Houlihan said the only advantage of missing the first half on Saturday is that he would have fresh legs, but was still upset about having to sit out the first 30 minutes. “It’s because EKU is a huge rivalry, it’s a huge game,” Houlihan said. “It’s family weekend and I’m a senior — it’s two quarters that I’m never going to get back.” In the meantime, Babers said there was a battle during practice this week to see who would fill in for Houlihan against Eastern Kentucky. Houlihan said it could it either be sophomore Anthony Goodman or red-shirt senior Alex McNulty, who had two interceptions against San Diego State on Aug. 31. “I think whoever starts will do a good job,” Houlihan said. Houlihan said being called for targeting can be avoided, but it can still be tough because of the environment in which someone who grows up playing football lives in. “In some instances it’s hard because of the way you have been brought up to play football -- to hit people,” Houlihan said. “It’s definitely preventable. You just have to be smart and pick where you can take your shots and where you can’t.”

ner has started in all of the team’s matches this season, making 32 saves while facing 89 shots. The Panthers and Bruins will meet at 4 p.m. Friday in Nashville, Tenn. Eastern will return home for a noon match Sunday at Lakeside Field against the 2-7 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles. Tennessee Tech just recorded its second win of the season on Sunday over East Tennessee State, snapping a three-game losing streak, which the Golden Eagles scored just one goal. Senior for ward Ellie Iaciofano leads the team with three goals, picking up where she left off from the 2012 season when she lead the team in both goals and points. Sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Brown has started every match for the Golden Eagles this season, making 61 saves. Brown made 123 saves last season, the thirteenth most in the nation.
“We just need to focus on DePaul,” he said. “You have to have a short memory in golf. We need to be more focused at Ruffled Feathers; it’s a much different course.” Ruffled Feathers is a course that does present many challenges for the Panthers. It’s different from the courses they’ve played at so far. The course is known for its challenging collection of par three holes and Sproles knows the course will have plenty of other challenges in store for Eastern as well. He also said that it’s possible to play well if the team executes in certain areas of the game. “You need to keep the ball in play there,” he said. “There’s more water and some out of bounds areas. And the par threes are very difficult. You can score well, though with good ball striking and short game.” The Panthers will start the DePaul Invitational off with a practice round on Friday morning and follow with competitive play on Saturday and Sunday.

Garet Christianson, a red-shirt sophomore forward dribbles the ball down the field during a game on Oct. 12, 2012. Christianson, despite missing the first month of the season, has received the Summit League Offensive Player of the Week for the Evansville Pro Rehab Classic Sept. 20.
Christianson returns from injury with scoring By Michael Spencer Staff Reporter @DEN_Sports Since red-shirt sophomore forward Garet Christianson made his return to the lineup Sept. 20, the Eastern men’s soccer team has doubled its previous goal total for the year. Through the first four matches of the season, Eastern had scored one goal per game. With Christianson back in the lineup, the Panthers have netted nine goals in three matches. The Iowa native has already attributed three goals himself and added an assist to put Eastern ahead in the dying minutes of its 5-4 loss to
Evansville. Christianson collected the Summit League Offensive Player of the Week award for his performance in the tournament. He also jumped into a tie for the league lead in goals scored. Christianson suffered an ankle sprain just a couple weeks before the team reported for preseason training. The injury kept him out of the lineup for the first month of the regular season. In his return to the field against the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Christianson found himself on the end of one of Eastern junior right-winger Will Butler’s crosses and he fitted it into the net from inside
the penalty area. He had been on the field for little more than a half-hour and he had already pulled a goal back for Eastern to make the score 3-2 in favor of Green Bay. But he was not done yet. With the score tied at three goals apiece, Christianson got on the end of a pass from senior midfielder Jake Plant a scored to put the Panthers up 4-3. An 85th minute goal from Green bay would leave the match at 4-4 for the remainder of the game, but it was a break out performance for Christianson. “I mean really, I couldn’t have imagined it any better,” Christianson
said. “It’s really the ideal comeback for me. Hopefully I can keep this up for the rest of the season.” Christianson said he felt like he could keep up the pace for the entire season but that the team, now 0-5-1, would need to do more in order to notch its first victory. “I definitely want to keep scoring goals and getting assists but above all we need team results,” Christianson said. “We need wins.” Head coach Adam Howarth did not speculate as to whether Christianson would be able to maintain his output, but acknowledged the early quality shown from his striker. “You can never make bold predictions about how many goals you can
score but I think he started off on a very good tear,” Howarth said. Eastern has now returned all its players from injury ahead of the first match of conference play against IUPUI, and Howarth thinks that his team is nearly at full strength. “We’re getting close,” Howarth said. “I think we are still making sure that these guys get more minutes. You can be fit but not necessarily soccer-fit. They’re still finding their feet in terms of their fitness on the soccer field but we’re getting closer for sure.” Michael Spencer can be reached at 581-2812 or at tmspecner2@eiu.edu.

Eastern opens OVC schedule Panthers travel

By Dominic Renzetti Managing Editor @domrenzetti The Eastern women’s soccer team will open Ohio Valley Conference play this weekend with a pair of matches against Belmont and Tennessee Tech. The Panthers are the only team in the OVC without both a win and a draw, losing their first nine matches of the season. The team broke a seven-game scoreless drought against Valparaiso on Sunday with sophomore forward Hannah Miller scoring in the 71st minute. It was the team’s first goal since Madison Carter’s score in the season opener against Oakland. Interim head coach Jason Cherry said after last Friday’s loss against Drake that red-shirt freshman Kylie Morgan would be most likely to start at goalkeeper. Morgan, a transfer from the Univer-

Coming off a fourth place finish at the Chicago State Invitational, the Eastern men’s golf team will get a chance to play again this Friday in the DePaul Fall Invitational. The Panthers will compete at Ruffled Feathers Golf Course in Lemont. This will be Eastern’s second consecutive tournament in the Chicagoland area. The Panthers are looking to bounce back from their fourth place finish out of five teams by making sure they
make the most out of their preparation time, sophomore Austin Sproles said. The team only has two days to prepare for the DePaul Invitational. Because ofthe lack of preparation time, the team still does not know which five players are going to be traveling to Lemont. “We just got back, so we don’t have long to prepare,” Sproles said. “We are still unsure of who is traveling.” Sproles also said the team must quickly forget about their performance at Chicago State and make sure they are focused on playing well at DePaul.
