Eastern’s 2013 winners of Homecoming prince and princess, and king and queen take center stage after their coronation Monday at McAffee Gymnasium.

New royalty crowned for Homecoming By Stacey Catterson Staff Reporter @DEN_News G a t h e r i n g i n t h e Mc A f e e Gymnasium Monday, students waited in anticipation as the 2013 Homecoming King and Queen were crowned. An evening filled with chanting and cheers ended as David Groves and Shavon Francis were crowned as the new Homecoming royalty. Groves, a senior business management major, won the king’s

University appoints Hencken as interim admissions director Staff Report Former Eastern president Lou Hencken has agreed to serve as the university’s interim director of admissions. Hencken served as the university’s president from 2001 to 2008. Blair Lord, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, said in a press release sent out Monday despite the university’s ongoing nationwide search for a new director,

the appointment was a response to Eastern’s transition into a more aggressive recruitment program. “Eastern is just beginning to reverse a multi-year decline in enrollments,” Lord said. “But we know the competition is just going to get tougher, and we need a proven manager to help lead our admission team.” Lord commended Hencken’s service to the university, including his time as Eastern’s vice president of

student affairs, during which he supervised Eastern’s admissions department. “Hencken is an EIU graduate and an avid supporter of the university,” Lord said. “What’s more, when he was vice president of student affairs, he supervised the admissions department. But more than that, he has the proven management experience to help lead our admissions staff during this period of transition without losing

any momentum.” Hencken will replace Brenda Major, the university’s previous admissions director, who will remain with the university as a member of the athletics department. “Major is a passionate advocate for students as well as a great spokesperson for the university,” Lord said. “We think her talents will be better used in her new position and look forward to her continued contribution to EIU.”

An evaluation system on campus is being used to give faculty members a heftier workload, impeding their ability to do research, said the associate grievance officer for Eastern’s faculty union. Eastern’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois Local 4100 has a grievance filed against Harold Ornes, the dean of the College of Sciences, for an evaluation system he instituted. Ornes took a retroactive look at faculty members, having them submit their research projects from the last few years and categorizing them as either research-active or researchinactive, said Tim Shonk, the associate grievance officer for EIU-UPI and an English professor. Research-active faculty members would then have fewer assigned Credit Units, whereas research-inactive faculty would be given more CUs, meaning their class load would increase.

Police to advise students for 'Six Pack' By Max Batjes Staff Reporter @DEN_News A presentation on alcohol education is next up in the Six Pack series. Lt. Brad Oyer of the Charleston Police Department will be enlightening students on mistakes that could lead to trouble in his presentation, “How to Stay Out of Trouble with the Law.” The presentation on alcohol education will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room 1255 of Coleman Hall. “A lot of students come here right out of their parents’ house, right out of high school,” Oyer said. “It is really easy to fall into that ‘we are here at college’ type of attitude.” Oyer said the point of the presentation is so students do not have to learn from getting tickets, but instead learn how to avoid trouble. “If I can get in front of a group, plant a couple scenes in their head, something they can think about later so that they don’t get in trouble, then

my job is accomplished,” Oyer said. The presentation is a part of EIU’s Six Pack Program, which is an alcohol education program that features six presentations for the first six weeks of school.

This is Oyer’s fourth year presenting at the program, He has been working with the Charleston Police Department for 19 years. “Over the years, especially since I’ve worked here, I’ve seen students

get themselves into a lot of trouble, even kicked out of school. And that’s a shame,” Oyer said. Rachel Hille, the alcohol and substance abuse education coordinator, presents four of the Six Pack presentations. The other presentations are titled Sex and Booze, Bystander Intervention, What is your motive?, Surviving Social Media with Lt. Brad Oyer and Myth Busting Alcohol. “How To Stay Out of Trouble with the Law” will be the fifth presentation so far this year. Hille said that the presentation Wednesday will also provide students with policies on the topic of alcohol consumption. “On Wednesday we are basically educating students on how to stay out of trouble, since it’s with a local officer it brings about more of an authorities perspective,” Hille said.

Offices to be in decoration competition By Jarad Jarmon Student Governance Editor @JJarmonReporter Eastern offices and residence halls will be judged on their decorations for Homecoming Week’s “Deck the Halls” from 9 a.m. until noon and again from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Their school spirit, color scheme, use of the theme, the uniqueness and the staff participation will be categories the judges will be grading them on. The 13 judges are comprised of students, faculty and staff and community members such as Mayor Larry Reyn-

olds. Mona Davenport, the director of Minority Affairs, said community members will be judging this year because they want to be more involved in Homecoming. “We now have a Homecoming committee that consists of both EIU and the city of Charleston,” Davenport said. Offices and residence halls had until Thursday to register for the competition and had until Friday to decorate. “We wanted it to be out (Monday) for open house,” Davenport said. Currently more than 25 offices and residence halls registered for “Deck the

Halls.” Davenport said she was shocked but excited with the amount of offices registered. “We have a lot. That is the scary thing,” Davenport said. “The first year that we did this, there were only like eight entries.” This is the third year in which “Deck the Halls” has taken place. The Housing and Dining office staff, who one the first year, planned to succeed this year with their “Blues Brothers” theme, setting up some of the office to look like a blues bar with a stage and row of chairs and tables.

Winners will be announced at the faculty and staff barbeque at 11 p.m. until 1 p.m. Thursday in the McAfee Gymnasium. She added they hope to open up the competition next year to residents around campus so they can decorate their front lawn. Jarad Jarmon can be reached at 581-2812 or jsjarmon@eiu.edu.

Jazz Combos prepare for first concert

Students and faculty come together in upcoming performance By Marcus Curtis Entertainment Editor @DEN_News The three bands that make up the EIU Jazz Combos will be displaying their musical repertoire from classic jazz musicians in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The EIU Jazz Combos will be performing their musical talents at 7:30p.m. Oct. 22, in the Black Box Theatre of the Doudna. The band’s performance will be the first concert out of two for this semester. Paul Johnston, coordinator of two of the jazz combos, said the band will be covering songs by Horace Silver and Thelonius Monk. Johnston said the band will also be performing a jazz version of Stevie Wonder’s popular song, “Superstition.” Amongst the performances by the

Jazz Combos is an original performance by Tyler Seawood, a sophomore music major, who is a pianist. The title of Seawood’s original song is “Jump.” Johnston said he wants his students to be able to experience performing for a crowd. “Playing for an audience adds a dif-

ferent dynamic for musicians,” Johnston said, “Students can learn a great deal and gain new perspectives in this environment.” Johnston said what he expects students to learn from performing is also the overall goal and purpose of the EIU Jazz Combos. “We emphasize learning repertoire and developing skills in improvisation, writing, arranging and performance,” he said.

In addition, Johnston said the goal of the EIU Jazz combos is to get the experience of playing music in a small group. “Playing in a jazz combo gives students the opportunity to explore concepts of a small group playing in the jazz idiom,” Johnston said. The jazz combos are made up of three different combos: two of the combos consist of five members while the third combo consists of seven members. Johnston is the coordinator for two of the bands while Nick Tucker, a faculty bassist, coordinates the third jazz combo. Johnston said the audience will be in store for a variety of music from a group of musically talented students. “Audience members can look forward to a wide variety of music performed by some of EIU’s most talented students,” Johnston said. The jazz combos are popularly known for their performances at Elmhurst, North Texas and Notre Dame jazz festivals, he added. Admission for the concert is free to everyone.

Today’s quote: "Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is."

- Vince Lombardi

History and Heritage: it’s all around us I am a history major; I like to study the past and see how it all works. I’m fascinated by Civil War and how a nation so divided that it formed two separate countries was able to come back together. I’m fascinated by how much the past influences how we got to be where we are today. I’m also fascinated by how much it is all forgotten. Did you know that in 1864, Charleston, our town, was site of a riot between Union soldiers and a people who did not believe the Civil War was justified? Nine people died and 12 were injured after a shooting broke out at the Coles County Court House on the square. It made the national papers at the time President Abraham Lincoln himself was alerted of it. How many times have we thought nothing ever happens here in our small town? This proves just how wrong our statements are. In my research of the event, I have found out just how big of a deal this event was and how much it is still with us today. Many of these people who who were involved in the event are buried right here in Charleston.

Amy Wywailowski Col. Greenville Mitchell, who later became Coles County Sheriff, is buried in a modest grave northwest of town. From his grave you can see the courthouse, Old Main, and Stevenson Hall. Yet few know it is there. Others are small graveyards in fields throughout the county. One grave in particular is marked by a simple wooden sign, on a pasture fence that is easily driven past without a second glance. Back about 500 yards past the pasture lays a clearing, the cemetery untouched and long forgotten. I know we are approaching Halloween and there is a stigma associated with graveyards, but I think there is another way to think about it. They

are places of heritage. Many of the decedents of the victims and participants of the riot are still alive today; in fact you may even be one of them. One of the victim’s cousins married Stanton C. Pemberton, who went on to help procure the funds for Pemberton Hall, which now bears his name. We tend to think of history is something we are disconnected from, which is maybe why I am able to visit these yards without being filled with such sadness. But the truth of the matter is these people are our families, where we ourselves come from. You may not think you like history but doesn’t everyone want to know where we come from and why we are the way we are? It’s our heritage. So as we celebrate homecoming and our alumni, the next time you pass the square, an old house, or a long forgotten cemetery, think about the people who people who came before you.

“In our judgment, the dean’s policy is making teaching a punitive assignment, and that is not the way you want to see teaching,” Shonk said. A full load for a professor varies from 18 to 24 CUs per year. Assigned CUs include classes taught, and unassigned CUs apply to research activity, committee work and club sponsorship. Shonk said two main problems exist with the evaluation system, one being the faculty categorization of researchactive and research-inactive is not recognized in the faculty contract unlike other classifications such as professor, associate professor, assistant professor

and adjunct. The other issue consists of Ornes directly evaluating faculty members without stated criteria, he added. “The quandary the administration has gotten itself into is if the evaluation has criteria, then this is an evaluation method not negotiated in the faculty contract,” Shonk said. “If the evaluation doesn’t have criteria, then it is arbitrary and capricious, meaning there is no reasoning behind it.” The grievance process began in March, and EIU-UPI filed an intent to arbitrate on Sept. 13, said Ann Fritz, the president of EIU-UPI and a

professor of biological sciences. The grievance process began with Shonk meeting informally with Jeffrey Cross, the associate vice president for academic affairs and the administration grievance officer, to find a solution to the issue. Once this step failed, a written grievance was filed, followed by a fact-finding report where both sides agreed on the facts of the issues. The current step is filing for a federal arbitration officer. Shonk said this is not the best course of action as it expensive and takes more time. Services from a federal arbitration officer could cost both sides $8,000 to $10,000 and

might take a year to resolve depending on backlog, he said. In addition to the intent to arbitrate, Fritz said EIU-UPI also has an Unfair Labor Practice pending with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board on Ornes’ policy of instituting a new, non-contractual means of evaluating faculty. “EIU-UPI and the university already have a process described in our contract whereby faculty are evaluated for teaching, service and research,” Fritz said. “Dean Ornes is sidestepping the contract and has developed some hitherto unknown system for evalu-

Panthers’ low hit percentage Panthers drop sixth leads to weekend losses straight

By Anthony Catezone Sports Editor @AnthonyCatz Both Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky kept the Eastern volleyball team .53 percent less than its Ohio Valley Conference-leading .231 hit percentage in the Panthers weekend matches. Eastern, which had its sights on the No.1 spot in the OVC heading into the weekend, failed to do so — losing to Morehead State (1925, 25-23, 21-25, 27-25, 11-15) and Eastern Kentucky (22-25, 22-25, 23-25). Eastern dropped to 9-10 overall and 3-3 in conference, moving down two spots to fifth in the OVC overall. The Panthers hit .168 in the three-set loss to the Colonels and .174 in the five-set loss to the Eagles — their third and fourth lowest of the season, respectively. It is the lowest attack since the Panthers have entered conference play. In just two games, Eastern’s attack was lowered .07 percent, as it is now hitting .224 this season. However, it still leads the OVC, and is the only team in the conference hitting more than .196. On defense, Eastern allowed Eastern Kentucky, the OVC’s worst team in attack to hit .236, the Colonels highest of the season. The Colonels are hitting just .111 since entering OVC play, which they are now 2-4 in. At 9-11 overall, six of their losses have come as straight set sweeps. Double-double performances Senior outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson notched her 33rd and 34th career double-double in the matches against Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky, respectively. On Friday, she led all players with 19 kills in the loss to Morehead State. She also finished with 12 kills and two service aces. On Saturday, in a match where six Eastern

players hit less than .167 percent, Hutchinson’s .245 attack was the only Panther to hit more than .200. Her game-high 19 kills again, with 12 digs, recorded her 34th career double-double performance. The Mattoon native was also the only Panther with more than eight kills. Sophomore setter Marah Bradbury, meanwhile, had 34 assists and 14 digs against Eastern Kentucky for her 13th career double-double. Bradbury saw her run of three consecutive OVC Setter of the Week honors come to an end this week. Weekly awards Naomi Wells, outside hitter for Tennessee State, earned Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week. She recorded 13 kills behind a .346 hit percentage in the win against Tennessee Tech.

The junior also posted a double-double performance with 17 kills and 14 digs against Jacksonville State. Wells finished the weekend with five kills per set, 3.5 digs per match, three assists and three blocks. Jacksonville State libero Kelly Cole won Defensive Player of the Week with 37 digs, as the Gamecocks went 1-1 over the weekend. The senior recorded 19 digs before following with 18 in the sweep of Tennessee State. Wells finished with 6.17 digs per set. Hannah Miranda was named Setter of the Week, keeping Bradbury from winning her fourth consecutive. Miranda had 68 assists, 14 digs, 11 kills, three blocks and one service ace all with a .558 hit percentage. Anthony Catezone can be reached at 581-2812 or ajcatezone@eiu.edu.

Eastern reaches halfway point By Michael Spencer Staff Reporter @tmskeeper The Eastern men’s soccer team slipped to 0-21 in conference play this weekend as they fell to Fort Wayne by a score of 3-1. Meanwhile, other teams in the league standings swept past the Panthers. Denver stretched its unbeaten streak to seven games against IUPUI as it rolled past the Jaguars by a score of 4-0. Red-shirt junior midfielder Reid Hurkari led the way for Denver as he netted a goal and added an assist later in the match. “We knew that the first goal was crucial and the second goal was crucial with teams like this that really thrive off restarts and long throw-ins and things of that sort,” senior midfielder Zach Bolden said. Denver is atop the Summit League standings after winning both of its conference matches. Denver is not the only team with an unblemished record. Oral Roberts started the season 0-4-1 and has since won four of its last five matches, tacking on two conference victories to rally to 4-5-1. Oral Robert’s record is the second best in the Summit League. The team picked up its second league victory against Western Illinois on Saturday, wrapping up the victory early in the match. Western, which was the Summit League champion in 2012, was put under by Oral Roberts after a shot from senior forward Johnny Chavez found the back of the net just six minutes into the contest. Senior midfielder Marco Hernandez provided the assist on Chavez’s goal and then added a goal of his own just a few minutes later.

Garet Christianson, a redshirt sophomore forward, runs with the ball during a game against IUPUI on Lakeside Field Sunday. The Panthers tied with the Jaguars 1-1.

Oral Roberts managed the 2-0 victory despite being outshot by the Leathernecks 15-10. The Golden Eagles are now second on the league table and will travel to Charleston Sunday for their match with Eastern. In non-conference Summit League action, Omaha defeated Belmont 1-0 to improve to 3-7-1. Eastern has crossed the halfway mark in its conference season and now sit at 0-2-1 in conference. The Panthers have two home matches and one away match with which to find their first Summit League victory and head coach Adam

Howarth said this weekend that they will treat each match as if it were a cup final. “We just have to make sure we bring everything we can on Sunday, and we’ve got a week to figure things out,” Howarth said. Eastern is having its worst season under Howarth’s 14-year reign, having never been winless so late in the season. The match with Oral Roberts will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday on Lakeside Field. Michael Spencer can be reached at 581-2812 or tmspencer2@eiu.edu.

The Eastern hockey club lost to Bradley on Sunday in Peoria in what was a make-up game after ice malfunctions at the David S. Palmer Arena in Danville caused the teams to reschedule. Originally supposed to have played on Sept. 14, the Panthers lost 6-4 on Sunday, dropping the team to 1-6 on the season. The team has not won since its first meeting with Bradley on Sept. 13. Sophomore Casey Duffy scored first for Bradley, followed by two goals from junior Cam Cordts. The Panthers found themselves down 3-1 after the first period, with freshman Andy Insalaco netting the goal. Seniors Andrew Maronich and Tim Shannon were credited with assists. Both teams scored a goal each in the second period, with freshman Steve Kinnison scoring early for the Panthers to bring the score to 3-2. Freshman Joe Power-Wayvon responded for Bradley to add to the Braves’ lead. Entering the third and final period, sophomore Josh Powers scored first for Bradley. Eastern would answer with two goals from Shannon and Maronich. Bradley added an empty net goal after the Panthers pulled senior goalie Andrew Teske, sealing the score at 6-4. The Panthers have now lost six straight after first beating the Braves in the team’s season opener. Senior Chris Gallagher said a key for the team’s improvement is playing better defense. “We really need to improve on our defen-

“We need to show up to play a full game and not just two periods of a game. It’s always one period that gets us. Once we decide to show up for a whole game, we will win. ” -Chris Gallagher, EIU Senior sive zone coverage and breakout,” he said. “It all comes down to the basics of hockey.” Gallagher also said the team has to find ways to create more scoring chances. “We have more time with the pick than we think,” he said. “When we get the puck we need to look up and make a tape to tape pass and get it out of the zone. More chances of scoring will come if we execute that.” Gallagher said before the game the team needs to do a better job of playing complete games, rather than just two periods. “We need to show up to play a full game and not just two periods of a game. It’s always one period that gets us,” he said. “Once we decide to show up for a whole game, we will win.” The Panthers will return to action this Friday and Saturday against the University of Iowa in Danville. The puck will drop at 7 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday at the David S. Palmer Arena. The Hawkeyes are 2-6 this season, coming off a split against St. Louis.

Panthers crack top 3 in FCS polls Southeast Missouri upsets murray state in 37-34 tripleovertime win By Aldo Soto Assistant Sports Editor @AldoSoto21 The Eastern football team moved up to No. 3 in the FCS Coaches poll and the Sports Network poll, following its 63-7 win against Austin Peay on Thursday. North Dakota State and Sam Houston State are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in both polls. The Bison defeated Missouri State 41-26 to improve to 6-0. Sam Houston State beat Lamar 14-3, improving to 5-1 on the season. Eastern, which is now 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Ohio Valley Conference, will host Southeast Missouri State at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field. Southeast Missouri State won its first OVC game of the season Saturday, defeating Murray State 3734 in triple overtime.The Redhawks snapped an eight-game losing streak that stretched back to last year.Sophomore quarterback Scott Lathrop led the Redhawks to victory, throwing four touchdown passes, completing 19-of-32 attempts for 247 yards. He also ran the ball 24 times for 94 yards and another touchdown. Lathrop connected with Paul McRoberts for an 18-yard touchdown that tied the game with 55 seconds remaining to play. Lathrop became the first Redhawk to throw four touchdowns since 2007. He was awarded with OVC Offensive Player of the Week, becoming the first Southeast Missouri State player to gain the honor since Matt Scheible won the award in October of 2011. Lathrop rushed for a one-yard

touchdown in the second quarter and later in that period tossed a 78-yard touchdown to DJ Foster to give Southeast Missouri its first of lead of the entire season at 13-3 going into halftime. The sophomore later threw another touchdown to Foster in the third quarter. This time, it was an eight-yard touchdown. Then a game-tying 18-yard strike to Paul McRoberts with 55 seconds left in regulation. Freshman kicker and punter Alex Knight kicked the game-winning field for Southeast Missouri State, hitting a 30-yard attempt in the third overtime. Knight was honored with OVC Specialist of the Week.In the loss Murray State quarterback Maikhail Miller threw three touchdown passes on 30-of-45 passing for 292 yards. Miller also ran in for a touchdown as he carried the ball 17 times for 63 yards. Miller won OVC Newcomer of the Week. Tennessee State improved to 3-0 in the OVC and 6-1 overall after winning 31-15 at Jacksonville State. The Tigers are the only undefeated team in conference play other than Eastern. The Gamecocks, who came into the game ranked in the top-25 in the FCS dropped out the rankings this week. The Tigers are now ranked No. 22 in the Coaches poll and No. 24 in the Sports Network poll. Junior safety Daniel Fitzpatrick won OVC Defensive Play of the Week as he led the Tigers with eight tackles. He also had an interception in the fourth quarter that set up Tennessee State’s last touchdown. Tennessee-Martin picked up its second OVC win, defeating Tennessee Tech 28-17. The Skyhawks are now 4-2 overall and 2-1 in conference. The Golden Eagles dropped their third consecutive OVC game and fell to 3-4 on the season.

Woman’s Soccer

Panthers hold first place position in OVC By Dominic Renzetti Managing Editor @domrenzetti Despite losing its first Ohio Valley Conference game of the season on Friday to Austin Peay, the Eastern women’s soccer team still remains the top team in the conference with a record of 5-1-0. Eastern fell 3-0 to Austin Peay Friday in Clarksville, Tenn., but was able to grab another road victory on Sunday over Murray State, winning 2-1 after junior Meagan Radloff’s second half goal. The Panthers are 2-1 on the road this season, with the team’s first win coming in the conference opener against Belmont. The Panthers have just one home match remaining, taking on Jacksonville State on Friday at Lakeside Field. Eastern will close out its schedule with three road matches against Tennessee-Martin, Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

Austin Peay remains in second place after it surrendered its first conference loss of the season on Sunday to Edwardsville. The loss puts the Governors at 4-11. The Governors are home on Friday, hosting Morehead State, then on the road Sunday at Eastern Kentucky. Austin Peay closes its schedule on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 with road matches against Jacksonville State and Murray State. Tennessee-Martin picked up a pair of wins over the weekend to improve to 4-1 in the conference. The preseason No. 1 team recorded a 3-0 shutout Friday at Morehead State and a 1-0 win over Eastern Kentucky on the road Sunday. Edwardsville is fourth with a record of 3-2-1, recording a 5-2 win Friday over Murray State on the road before Sunday’s win over Austin Peay. Morehead State is in fifth place at 3-2, picking up a 5-2 win this weekend against Southeast Missouri on Sunday after losing to Tennessee-

Martin on Friday. Southeast Missouri is 2-1-2, playing to a 0-0 draw on Friday against Jacksonville State before Sunday’s loss. Belmont is 2-2-1, only playing one match this weekend. The Bruins beat Jacksonville State 5-1 on Friday. Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky are both 1-3-1, while Murray State is 1-5. Jacksonville State is at the bottom of the conference at 0-51. Tennessee-Martin coach records 200th win Friday’s win over Morehead State gave Skyhawks head soccer coach Phil McNamara his 200th career victory. McNamara has coached at Virginia Intermont and Carson-Newman before coming to Tennessee-Martin, having coached for 14 seasons. “I have been blessed to have coached a number of quality players the last 14 seasons,” McNamara said in a press release. “Not only have we
