“I don’t understand it. For as long as I’ve been here, seems like that’s been a massive game for us. I don’t know what defines it as a rival, but it’s always felt like it.”

“It’s total bullcrap. It’s like if Washington and Washington State stopped being rivals.

Or Oregon and Washington stopped being rivals.”

The Manhattan Beach Police Department displays a memorial for Rachael Parker. Parker, a Cheney High School graduate, was one of 58 people killed at a concert in Las Vegas two weeks ago Photo courtesy Patrick T. Fallon for the LA Times

Local teacher remembers student who died in Vegas shooting Josh Fletcher News Editor Three weeks ago, 58 people died while attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival.

Most of them are people some have likely never heard of, or have no connection to.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget about these events if they don’t affect an individual personally or know someone who was there.

But somebody close to home here in Cheney did die, 33-year old Rachael Parker, who graduated from Cheney High School 15 years ago.

Parker went to the concert with a few of her coworkers, who remembered her as always having a smile on her face to greet them when they got to work.

For the past 10 years, Parker worked

at the front desk of the Manhattan Beach Police Department, and was the first person most people either talked to on the phone or saw when they came in.

“She was always happy, always gave that extra effort and had such a positive attitude and a willingness to help.”

Mary Pratt, Cheney High School teacher “Rachael’s smile could light up a room,

even on the most difficult of days,” the department wrote in a Facebook post.

Robin Monter, Parker’s mother, told KXLY that her daughter “had a heart of gold,” and would often volunteer for homeless and elderly people.

Mary Pratt, who has been at CHS for 30 years, was Parker’s chemistry teacher in the 2000-2001 school year when she was a junior.

When I talked talked to her on the phone this week, she had nothing but great memories of Parker.

“She was always happy, always gave that extra effort and had such a positive attitude and a willingness to help,” Pratt said. “[Her classmates] would always go to her for help and she was so willing to work in groups, everyone wanted to work with her.”

Pratt said she had not spoken to Rachael

since she graduated back in 2002. When she woke up on Oct. 2, she began by scrolling through the photos online of the initial people identified in the shooting and Parker was the first one to show up.

“I thought ‘how do I know her? She looks so familiar,’” Pratt said. But she couldn’t quite figure it out.

“It wasn’t until later that day when I got a call from my son and he asked if I knew her, and that’s when I remembered — oh yeah, I know her! That’s Rachael, I was devastated.”

Pratt hurt for Parker’s parents, and said she couldn’t even imagine what they are going through. She just wants Rachel to be remembered.

“To honor her memory, I think is really important,” Pratt said. “She was such a happy person.” •

First Amendment panel urges students to engage Sarah Giomi Staff Writer

Students mingle outside the Science Building. EWU is waiting for state funding to remodel the building | Andrew Watson for The Easterner

Senate budget approval delays Science Building Sarah Giomi Staff Writer The construction of EWU’s science building is on hold until the capital budget for Washington state is approved and passed by the state Senate.

Facilities’ construction staff was given a budget of $4,791,000 to complete the building’s construction. The fiscal year ended on June 30, 2017 and the Senate had to re-evaluate and approve a $4 billion budget for construction projects within Washington state beginning in the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

The state Senate has not agreed on a budget, primarily because the council has not come to an agreement on a water rights law, known as the Hirst Decision. The Hirst Decision is a ruling between developers against Native American tribes and environmentalists over water.

Republicans in the state Senate announced that they would not allow a final vote on the two-year capital construction budget until a solution is found to the court ruling. This is due to the significant impact the Hirst Decision will have on the economy, water resources, and environment.

“We have to be very careful about

what we do, lest management of state water resources is changed forever,” Rep. Larry Springer said in a SpokesmanReview article on Aug. 9.

EWU announced the construction project in April 2017. The goal of the project was to build a state of the art science center supporting the Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics departments within the College of Science, Technology, and Engineering and Mathematics.

The project was designed to be completed within 60 days and all designs are complete, but further steps cannot begin until permitted by the state Senate.

Senior Project Manager, Troy Bester, said via phone, “The project will still be completed within two months, as soon as we receive the approval, we will open bidding for the project.”

The project will now shift accordingly when the budget is approved after the state Senate reaches an agreement on the Hirst decision. The decision is expected to be made in October or November but could go as late as January 2018.

“These are new grounds of anything we’ve ever experienced before,” Bester said. •

Faculty staff and students discussed free speech and hate speech in a panel on Thursday, Oct. 12 in the JFK library.

“Some believe we don’t have to provide a platform to others if we don’t like what they have to say, but that’s not true,” EWU Pride Center Manager and panel moderator, Dr. Nick Franco, said.

The panel members discussed and answered questions like: what is and isn’t free speech, what is legally protected, and what happened in Charlottesville?

To provide a general understanding to all panel participants and set the tone for the event, the event began by explaining the First Amendment and what the constitution includes, based on court case law.

“To model addressing activism on campus, we have to look at our community and the kind of community we want,”

“Human beings create the world we live in. We don’t realize the equal power we have, but we have it.”

Dr. Nick Franco, EWU Pride Center Manager College of Social Sciences Senior Lecturer and panelist, Dr. Robert Bartlett said.

The panel explained that we have to decide what we believe in, what we are passionate about, and what we are going to do about it.

“Human beings create the world we live in. We don’t realize the equal power we have, but we have it,” Franco said.

Students on campus have the ability to be strong activists because they have resources to find other students with similar beliefs to be advocates together.

“Activism, largely led by youth, is the daily

choices we make, when we listen and what we choose to do,” Bartlett said.

The recent riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, are an important example of negative activism, because of the amount of violence that occurred. Also known as the Unite the Right Rally, the protest took place on Aug. 11 and 12, to protest the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue honoring the Confederate General.

At 9 p.m. that evening, a heavily armed and well-organized group of white nationalists met a resilient and determined group of counter-protesters. A group of 30 University of Virginia students was determined to stop the rally.

The two groups had intentions of advocating their beliefs and making opinions public, which as American citizens is their right; however, the results of the rally and their actions, as discussed in the panel, were not acceptable nor supported by freedom of speech as documented in the First Amendment.

The freedom of speech does not include performing actions to harm others, obscene materials, or obscene speech, as supported by court case law.

“Thinking about what has happened, we need to channel passion to promote and prompt change,” said Franco.

A student attending the event asked the panelists how youth can be advocates and encourage change.

“Be students- be active students, be active learners, be willing to engage in an active way,” said Franco.

Panelist Dr. Jessica Willis said, “Never be discouraged from the power of your own voice.”

The event was concluded with simple, yet important, ways to make a difference locally: self-reflecting on issues, sending letters to senators, engaging in the community and local clubs on campus, and voting.

The attendees wrote notes on the back of postcards that will be sent to students in Charlottesville as a reminder and message that they are not forgotten and Eastern Washington University students “stand with you.” •

Police Beat Josh Fletcher News Editor

Drug Violation October 10

Around 9:03 PM, while the Cadets were make their rounds in Pearce Hall, they noticed the smell of marijuana coming from one of the student dorms. Once officers arrived on scene they asked to be let in the dorms but were not allowed.

The officer had to get a search warrant, which they were granted, and found a small jar of marijuana in the female’s room. She was given a criminal citation for the Possession of Marijuana and was referred to Students Rights and Responsibilities.

Drug Violation October 13

Police responded to a call near LA Hall after friends of a female student called police because they were afraid their friend was going to hurt herself. They told the officer that she had been taking Adderall, something she did not have a prescription for. When officers arrived and made contact with the female, she said she was taking the Adderall because she had PTSD. Since she did not have a prescription for the Level Two controlled substance, she was booked into Spokane County Jail.

Drug Violation October 13

On Thursday morning near Sutton just before 10 p.m., while the CA’s of Morrison Hall were making their rounds, they noticed the smell of marijuana on the fifth floor. Police showed up and asked to search the room, but were initially denied access by the two male students. Once officers said they would be back with a search warrant the students let them in. The students gave police their bong and a few bags of leftover marijuana. They said they smoked outside earlier, but not in their dorms. Both were cited for the Possession of Marijuana and had to go to Cheney Municipal Court. They were also referred to Students Rights and Responsibilities.

Alcohol Violation October 14

During the EWU football game last Saturday, officers went up to a car in Parking Lot 9 after they noticed more people than seatbelts in a car. There were over seven people in the car. After most of them got out, police went up to the car to talk to the others. In the backseat officers noticed two drunk females, both under age; one had a bread pan full of puke on the floor. The driver, who was not drinking, said they dropped their friends off at the game because they were too drunk to drive themselves.

The students were criminally cited for being intoxicated and were forwarded to Students Rights and Responsibilities.

Alcohol Violation

Alcohol Violation

After the football game last Saturday, police stopped two females who were stumbling around and having to hold each other up. Police approached the women and asked to see their IDs, which they claimed they didn’t have.

Behind them was a male friend of theirs, also drunk, who told the officer he had their IDs with him. All three students were arrested.

Just after midnight a CA called police because a drunk female student had been throwing up on the fourth floor of snyamncut Hall. Law enforcement were afraid she may have had alcohol poisoning, but she was cleared by the fire department. She was unable to blow into the PBT because she was vomiting.

EDITORIAL

Examining the parking situation on the EWU campus The Easterner Editorial Board Both students and professors experience the struggle of parking permit expenses here at EWU. Most of the parking lots on campus are sold out of permits unless one is willing to do some walking.

Permit prices for the 2017-2018 academic year are an extra cost for students and faculty coming to campus everyday.

According to the EWU Parking and Transportation Services website, annual parking permits cost anywhere between $149-336, while quarterly parking permits cost anywhere between $61-132.

This is how the pricing of parking permits are determined.

“It’s the historical use of all the local lots and it varies based on fall, winter, spring and certainly summer’s not an issue because there aren’t that many students here,” said Michelle Rasmussen, EWU’s director of parking and transportation.

“But each year we base it on the previous year’s usage and we even take into account the weather forecast for winter because a lot of locations end up having a lot of piled up snow that take up some of the stalls. So we have to take a lot of things into factor.”

EWU puts what’s called ‘candlesticks’ and traffic tape up so they can post off areas to ensure that firetrucks have the access they need.

Terrance MacMullan has been a professor at EWU for 15 years and, like many students, parks on the street to avoid fees.

“I don’t park on campus, I park over by the elementary school,” MacMullan said. “It’s just on the street. My understanding is to

park on campus, you’d have to pay for it and I’d rather not pay. So I just park on the street.”

The issue relates to the perspective of parking space and permits in a cost versus benefit manner. Compared to other universities, EWU is not as inauspicious as far as cost and distance.

“We wouldn’t have the capacity [for free campus parking], it just wouldn’t be possible,” MacMullan said. “I think all universities have to deal with capacity issues ... I’m used to much worse parking issues. I park five minutes away, which to me is not a big deal.”

With cheaper parking permits, MacMullan believes that more people would buy them, but it would not be as cost effective.

“The pricing structure was a six-year plan,” Rasmussen said. “I know they had an initial permit pricing and then they increased it based on probably whatever percentage increase to get. EWU was well under a lot of the other universities for prices for parking and because we actually offer 1180 free stalls. We wanted to get our prices more in line with other universities in the state of Washington were charging.”

EWU does an analysis of comparable schools in terms of pricing, and Rasmussen says that she believes EWU offers the lowest prices.

The P-12 South and P-12 North lots are free for commuters that come for the day, and Rasmussen says that P-12 is at its fullest capacity in years, but they’re still not full.

“In comparison to say, WSU Pullman, the majority of our lots are much closer to the campus facilities than they’ve got,” said Rasmussen. “As far as a walking campus,

you’re looking at probably a 12 minute walk to campus whereas most universities are looking at a 15-20 minute walk.”

Most students and faculty are looking to save every penny when it comes to transportation. Some would rather walk than spend close to $400 on a parking pass. Lot 18 (where the police barn is located) is not sold out yet, which Rasmussen says is due to the lot being just as far away as P-12, which offers free parking.

“We went to an afternoon permit last year to try to assist some of the students that were coming in, mostly in the computer science building up on P-3 and the athletics building down on P-9,” said Rasmussen. “We were noticing that some of those students were having more afternoon classes and it would have accommodated them staying in those lots after 5 p.m. because they either had labs or they had sports. So we did a half day permit and we still have some of those available. They go from 1-5 p.m.”

The bus is a convenient alternative of transportation not only for students but for faculty as well. The best part? It is free in context.

Professor Tom Hawley has been a professor at EWU for 14 years, and enjoys having the downtime when he takes the bus, which is free for students and faculty with their EagleCard.

“I’m not having to worry about the road, and in the winter, obviously, that’s a huge benefit,” said Hawley.

It is important to start thinking about purchasing annual or quarterly parking permit by 2019, because the parking lot behind the Newman Center on Elm Street will diminish as far as available parking spaces by then.

Father Paul Heric, director of the Newman Center, discussed the redevelopment of the Newman Center.

“The Catholic Newman Center owns the entire parking lot behind the Newman Center. All but about 10 parking spaces are leased back to the university,” said Father Paul Heric. “And we receive a fee each month for that usage from the school ... Each year we go through a three-year process.”

As far as the future of that parking lot behind the Newman Center, it is subject to change.

“The hope is to begin rebuilding in 2019 and it will take one year. And [EWU] will lose some of the parking,” said Heric.

“We’ll still be able to lease a portion of it back to the university.”

At this point, all of the parking lots are sold out unless it is an afternoon permit for use in lots 3 and 9. Lot 18 parking is still available, as well as Residential Hall and Brewster Hall.

The choice comes down to spending the money as soon as possible to secure a parking spot (which isn’t even guaranteed) or parking off campus and having to walk to the university. The bus will continue to run as perhaps the cheapest solution at this point.

Fresh, bold, and diverse food makes it home at EWU Sam Jackson Staff Reporter CRATE is a locally owned and operated food truck that offers fresh seasonal food packed with bold flavors and is served by a team that enjoys catering at EWU. CRATE is owned by Eric Johnsen, a former owner and chef at Saranac Public House. He founded CRATE to develop a fun, innovative project in the food industry. He built the food truck himself and has been in business since August 2016. CRATE aims to represent a fresh and seasonal food style.

“CRATE is an energetic, imaginative mobile eatery aimed at offering high-quality, moderately priced, occasionally unusual street foods utilizing as many local, sustainable and natural ingredients as possible,” according to the CRATE webpage on the Greater Spokane Food Association website.

The CRATE menu is filled with a wide variety of bold f lavors incorporating Thai, Southern-style, Cuban, and Italian food.

“We try to bring really fresh

Food Truck Series food with big bold flavors at a really competitive price point,” said Johnsen. “We really try to do a little bit of everything and we believe street food should be priced like street food.”

CRATE staples tend to run on and off campus, and can be enjoyed by anyone despite strict food diets.

“Best plate, hands down, it’s the Thai rice bowl and burrito,” said Johnsen. “Everywhere, not just here on campus, but everywhere we go. Either served with tofu or with chicken.

We do sell a lot of tofu out here on campus. We offer a lot of vegetarian, a lot of vegan options. Even with our Bánh Mì, we do it as a vegetarian or vegan option with the tofu.”

The CRATE team was excited to get back on campus this quarter after the summer break.

“We love the energy....[we’re] around younger people that are more into still trying new things,” said

Johnsen. “It’s exciting for us. We love being out here on campus. We were gone over the summer time so we were excited to get back on campus and everybody was happy to see us.”

The employees like the idea of forming a bond between themselves and EWU members; it brings a different experience to the food truck lifestyle.

“The nice thing about being out here is in this business we don’t see a lot of the same people, but out here we do, “ said Cubs, the service window worker at Crate and occasional cook. “So we actually kind of get to build relationships with people. You kind of get your group of people that keep coming back so that’s nice. Being out where there’s always something different going on is just fun.”

CRATE is available from 10 a.m.

A&E Brewster Hall becomes home to second student art gallery Dayana Morales Arts & Entertainment Editor Brewster Hall, on Second Street in downtown Cheney, was renovated two years ago to accommodate for a new gallery space. While the EWU campus does have another gallery, this is a separate location. Both locations being a part of EWU make it hard for some to distinguish one from the other.

“I think we are still kind of a secret from campus,” Art Docent Mackenzie Ley said.

The Downtown Student Gallery is right behind The Mason Jar and ice cream shop, Get The Scoop.

The gallery features students, faculty and guest curated shows, and other occasional exhibits. It is an interactive open space that is free to the public Monday through Friday, noon – 5 p.m.

“It’s kind of interesting since we are out in the Cheney community, we get to see the mixture of the Cheney residents and students. It’s always neat to see them,” Program Coordinator Brooke Nicholson said.

Shows last about two to three months at a time in the gallery.

“We look for what the students would like to see [and] what ties to certain events going on around campus,” said Nicholson. “We look for opportunities for the students, too.”

The program director, Elizabeth Baker, works collaboratively with several members of the EWU community, asks for input and then decides on exhibitors or exhibitions from that point.

Gail Tremblay is the current artist exhibited in the gallery. She is a writer, teacher and mixed media artist.

Tremblay currently teaches English, Native American Studies, Art, and Art History at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. She advocates for Native Americans, indigenous issues and women artists.

“As an educator, she has influenced more than a generation of native and non-native students and has been instrumental in building Evergreen’s focus on Native arts and Native

Studies,” according to Nicholson’s website.

Her exhibit is called “Searching for Ways to Live in the Circle of Things that Support Life,” and will be up for display until Nov. 3.

The staff likes to plan ahead. The year is already planned out for the gallery. They have 2017 until June 2018 covered, except for January. Because the January artist they had scheduled will no longer be able to attend, they are currently trying to find a replacement.

“Looking at local talent and trying to find the diverse voices, that’s what we are doing right now,” Nicholson said.

“We’ve had some outstanding artists at the gallery and we’re looking forward to showcasing more this year,” Baker said.

For January, they are thinking of a mural type graffiti exhibit.

“We are trying to contact a certain individual. He has amazing murals and quite a story. We are hoping he can attend,” Nicholson said.

The exhibit following Tremblay’s will be the Student Bizarre, a first for the gallery. It will begin Nov. 10 and include 10-15 students and alum.

These artists will show and sell their work.

“We will have two different reception nights for this,” said Nicholson. ‘We will have one reception night that will be open later and the students will be here so they can be their own shop seller for their space. We then plan on having one right before it closes kind of like a last chance for holiday shopping.”

They will also have shows for VCD and BFA students. In the summer they will be hosting a quilt show.

“Anyone is encouraged to submit an idea or body of work for consideration.

We request high-resolution images, an artist’s statement and contact information,” Baker said.

To do so, visit the EWU downtown gallery page and click on the “contact us” tab. The art gallery invites students and the community to stop in and check them out. •

EWU alumnus dedicates project to ridding White-only covenants in Spokane Sam Jackson Staff Reporter EWU alumnus, Logan Camporeale, speaks out about the research regarding Whites-only covenants that still exist in Spokane.

Camporeale has two degrees from EWU, a Bachelor’s in History, which he earned in 2015, and his most recent degree, a Master’s with a focus in Public History, that he obtained in 2017.

Currently, Camporeale is employed at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture as the volunteer coordinator. He also works closely with The Campbell House to help with interpretation and train volunteers.

Additionally, he is lecturing to make people

more aware of the research he has been working hard on.

A restrictive covenant is defined on the basic terms as a contract or promise, in this case a property document that sets specific rules about what an individual does on their own property. Sometimes there are racial restrictions.

Camporeale found that restrictive covenants were arranged in Spokane from the 1930s to 1960s. He then discovered that they still exist in numerous local neighborhoods.This prevents anyone who is not white from living in these neighborhoods.

“I discovered them while doing some research and I’ve actually been working on getting them removed,” said Camporeale.

“I’ve been talking to people to sort of educate them and informing them that their city, that they may have thought was less segregated, was actually segregated.

Then also informing them that there’s a process to remove this.”

The Spokesman Review released an article called, “Whites-Only Covenants Still Exist In Many Mid-Century Spokane Neighborhoods” on Dec. 4, 2016. The articled featured Camporeale.

“In more than 30 plats or subdivisions across Spokane County, such covenants still exist, legally attached to the deeds of homes on the South Hill, the North Side and Spokane Valley in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s,” according to the article. “Even after the Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional and unenforceable, they were written and applied to new additions by developers and though they no longer carry the authority of law, they are still on the books, filed as part of a property record with the county auditor.”

After the article was published, people flooded social media with their comments.

“We got to talk about this stuff,” said Camporeale. “So many people didn’t know this existed and when the article was posted in the newspaper, people were so angry. They were angry that we wrote about it. They thought that we were stirring the pot ... I think that we should have this discussion and talk through this. I think that’s a better solution than just to force it away and pretend it didn’t happen.”

Though Camporeale has had the opportunity to present his project, at Whitworth University twice and recently at the PNW History Conference, his main priority is taking action in striking the covenants from the records.

“After I spoke at Whitworth, I was able to connect with this student that lived in a neighborhood that still has restrictive racial covenants,” said Camporeale. “So I’ve been trying to reach back out to The Center for Justice and see if they’re willing to sign a law in turn and try to take on this first case to see if they can have these things stricken from the record. I think it’ll be the first time that it’s been done in Spokane, that I can tell.”

EWU alumnus Logan Camporeale poses for a photo. Compareale went to EWU where he obtained his masters in public history.

Camporeale is connected with The Center of Justice in Spokane in efforts to seek help with his project.

“We are a voice to the marginalized with the ability to address a wide variety of social justice issues as they arise on our community,” according to The Center of Justice Spokane website.

EWU has a partnership with Washington State Archives.

This partnership produced the State Archives building on campus. Camporeale was working there as a graduate student answering reference requests in the Eastern Region branch. That was where he first encountered racial restrictive covenant. He has a strong sense of respect for EWU because of how it allowed him to become the person he is today.

“Obviously Eastern was formative to my experience, and that experience is formative to who I am,” said Camporeale.

“It gave me courage to do the things that I’m trying to do. I had top notch professors that I feel like I would have gotten at an R1 school [Doctoral Univesities--Highest Research Activity]. They’d be mad at me for saying that probably but it’s the truth … I am fortunate I think.” •

EWU women’s volleyball lost a pair of games over the weekend, falling to Idaho State University at home on Thursday, and the University of Idaho on the road on Saturday.

The Eagles were back at home on Thursday for just the third time this season.

Slow starts plagued the Eagles in the first two sets, as ISU climbed to a two set lead.

First, ISU’s junior defensive specialist Alexis Patten secured the 25-14 victory with back to back service aces. In the second set the Bengals used a 7-1 start to help them to a 25-23 victory.

The third set looked like it was going to be more of the same. ISU got off to another 7-1 lead, but this time it wouldn’t last. The Eagles, led by senior outside hitter Ashley Seiler, would close the gap fast. EWU tied

the set at 12, before going ahead for good at 13-12. EWU would win the set 25-23.

Freshman middle blocker Jayde Robertsen had the set clinching kill.

That’s as close as EWU would get. The fourth set went back and forth in the early stages but ISU pulled away late and took the C set 25-21. Seiler led EWU with 18 kills, while E senior Libero Megan LaFond had 21 digs. w Seiler would not play on Saturday, and d EWU missed her production. Though 3 the Eagles took the first set against the U BSC North’s top ranked team, they would S continue to be hurt by slow starts. Idaho won E the final three sets.

C Freshman outside hitter MaKenna Davis and junior hitter Taylor Larsen each had 13 w kills for the Eagles.

The EWU cross country teams completed their regular season on Saturday, Oct 14 at the Pre-National Invitational in Louisville, Kentucky. Three Eagle men also ran at the Inland Empire Championships in Lewiston, Idaho.

At the Pre-National Invitational, sophomore Colton Johnsen finished in the top spot for EWU, with a time of 24:19.2 in the 8,000-meters, which was good for 76th out of 282 competitors.

After the race, head coach Chris Shane praised his top runner.

“Colton excelled today in a very talented field,” said Shane. “He showed moxie as he moved through the massive crowds and finished exactly where he wanted. He continues to improve each week and will look to be one of the top runners at the Big Sky Championship.”

The rest of the men’s runners finished as follows: senior Austin Oser (201st, 25:21.8), senior Logan Stahl (203rd, 25:22.1), junior Domenic Rehm (230th, 25:37.0), freshman Ronan Price (244th, 25:52.2), senior Mason Nicol (265th, 26:29), and senior Matthew Hommel (did not finish). The men finished in 39th place overall.

On the women’s side, senior Kari Hamilton finished with a time of 21:29.7 in the 6,000-meters, which placed her 128th.

The rest of the women’s runners finished as follows: sophomore Kaili Keefe (188th, 22:05.1), sophomore Kaelah Corrigan (216th, 22:21.4), senior Gracie Ledwith (239th, 22:44.2), freshman Lily Tyrrell (250th, 22:59.8) and freshman Joyce Kipligat (285th, 29:41.9).

The women finished in 41st place overall.

At the Inland Empire, sophomore Evan Sanford placed 91st with a time of 26:51.0, while sophomore Miguel Vargas was 116th with a time of 27:42.6.

Chloe Williams tied the Big Sky Conference’s all-time goal record as EWU picked up six points over the weekend. The BSC-leading Eagles defeated Portland State University 3-0 on Friday, Oct. 13, and the University of Montana 1-0 on Sunday, Oct. 15. With the victories, EWU clinched a spot in the Big Sky Championships.

Friday’s match against PSU was a battle for first place in the BSC. EWU was one point ahead of the Vikings. On paper, this was projected to be a very competitive match. On the field, however, it

was a one-sided affair. The Eagles outplayed PSU throughout the entire game. Offensively, EWU put nonstop pressure on PSU senior goalkeeper Abbie Faingold.

In all, the Eagles finished with 25 shots, 17 of which came in the second half. Of those 25 shots, 10 of them were on goal.

The Eagles were even better defensively. EWU goalkeeper Emily Busselman posted what will go down as her easiest shutout ever. The senior faced no shots on goal the entire game and finished with no saves. The Vikings were held to zero shots in the first half, and only managed two shots on in the second half.

The resulting 25-2 shot deficit was too much for the Vikings to overcome.

The highlight of the match was EWU’s first goal. On a free kick, senior defender M’Kenna Hayes sent a perfect pass inside to junior midfielder Jenny Chavez. Chavez was able to head the ball into the back of the net.

Williams’ goal came in the 48th minute of the match. It was goal number 39 of her career, tying the conference record held by former Idaho State forward Amanda Ellsworth. The goal was unassisted. Williams dribbled past a defender and beat Faingold.

The scoring was wrapped up

by EWU senior midfielder Aimie Inthoulay, with Hayes picking up her second assist of the game.

As good as the offense was, this game was about the defense.

Freshman defender Grace Klinkenberg said the defensive success was a team effort.

“Defensively, I work with a bunch of great girls,” said Klinkenberg. “Everyone works together collectively. We work Junior midfielder Jenny Chavez kicks the ball against Portland State on Oct. 13. The together really well as a team.”

Bodnar was very pleased with his team’s overall effort.

“Today was a complete performance from back to front,” said Bodnar. “I really liked how we continued to score late into the second half. There were chances that we could’ve put in, but to score a goal late in the first half and score two in the second half is something I’m proud of. We kept the motor going.”

For PSU, the loss dropped them out of second place. The new second place team, UM, visited Cheney on Sunday.

Seventeen seconds into the game, EWU senior forward Delaney Romero took a shot that got deflected off a defender, and into the goal. This gets recorded as an “own goal” against UM. After the goal, there would be 89 minutes and 43 seconds of scoreless soccer played. UM was able to outshoot EWU 15-6, but could not get anything past Busselman, who picked up another shutout. Busselman finished with seven saves.

Williams was held scoreless.

She will now have three more chances to break the record, all on

the road.

While the Eagles are not used to being outshot, Bodnar was just happy to be able to escape with a win against a very good UM team.

“It was a different kind of result for us today, obviously,” said Bodnar. “I have to credit Montana, they came out with a lot of energy.

We started the match well in the first minute and put some pressure on the backs and ended up getting that goal, which was a huge lift for us. I would say that the next 44 minutes, Montana took it to us in the attacking third. Credit to our backline for staying stingy during that period. We played a lot better in the second half, but still had to lock it down defensively as there were a lot of balls played into our box.”

The game was the final home regular season game of the season.

The Eagles have three away games remaining, and if they are able to hold on to first place, they will host the BSC championship tournament. Their next game is on Friday, Oct. 20, at Idaho State University at 3 p.m. •

Eagles weren’t able to score.

Senior kicker Roldan Alcobendas knocked down a 23-yard field goal to give his team the 10-0 lead with 8:56 to go in the half. Gubrud was 14/14 for 109 yards up to that point, while the Eagles’ 16-play, 75 yard drive took seven minutes and 46 seconds, one of the longest all season.

The Bobcats answered right back. Murray showed off his dualthreat ability, and ran it in himself for the 54-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 10-7.

Gage Gubrud, though, is as resilient as they come. He led the Eagles on a 10-play, 82 yard drive to take the 17-7 lead. A 10-yard completion to junior wide receiver Nsimba Webster gave EWU first-and-goal at the one. Gubrud bobbled and nearly lost the snap,

but found Webster again for the one-yard touchdown.

Back-to-back empty possessions end the half with EWU leading 17-7. At the half, Gubrud was 19-20 passing for 145 yards and a touchdown, while MSU’s Murray was held to 1-6 passing for just 21 yards.

MSU had the ball to start the second half and were in the red zone—thanks to a 31-yard completion to junior wide receiver Jabarri Johnson. Senior defensive end Albert Havili sacked Murray, who fumbled; junior linebacker Kurt Calhoun recovered at the Eagles’ 19-yard line.

ensuing play, McPherson broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and maneuvered the right sideline 23 yards to the house. The Eagles took the 24-7 lead on the 11-play, 83 yard drive.

After consecutive empty possessions, MSU used a nearly eight-minute drive to go 80 yards and cut into the lead. Murray completed a 32-yard pass to junior tight end Connor Sullivan before pitching it to junior running back Logan Jones, who scored the nineyard touchdown. The two-point conversion was unsuccessful and the EWU lead was still 24-13.

Gubrud fumbled on the second play of the next possession and MSU took over at the EWU 22-yard line. The Eagles defense forced the Bobcats into a fourth down, but Murray had forever in the pocket to find Kassis with a 19-yard completion. LaSane’s five-yard run cut the lead to 24-19, while the two-point conversion was again no good.

If the nerves weren’t high enough at Roos Field, sophomore wide receiver Dre’ Sonte Dorton fumbled the kickoff, giving the Bobcats the ball in Eagles territory.

However, EWU’s fortunes would

turn quickly. Murray fumbled on the second play of the drive and junior defensive end Keenan Williams recovered the ball.

On the ensuing possession, Gubrud found Limu-Jones with a 23-yard completion on 3rd-and27. Then on 4th-and-four, Gubrud spun to his left, scurried away from the defense and picked up the first down with his legs.

Following the game, Best commented on his quarterback’s instincts with this run in mind.

“Great players make great plays in big situations. The last time I checked, all these games are big,” said Best. “It doesn’t have to be home, away, conference or non-conference, you only get 11 guaranteed games, so they are all big. The standard is to make big plays in big situations and that’s what Gage did.”

For the day, EWU was 11-14 on third downs, compared to 7-16 for MSU. Custer’s three-yard touchdown sealed the deal, as EWU took the 31-19 lead. The score also capped off a day to remember for the sophomore running back, who finished with a careerbest 147 rushing yards and two

touchdowns. He did all that on 27 carries, as he had an incredible 5.4 yard average per carry.

For the cherry on top—and the insurance that they’d win the turnover battle—senior defensive back Victor Gamboa intercepted Murray to end the game. The Eagles are now 40-0 since 2010, when they won the turnover battle.

Gubrud finished the game 25-for-31 passing for 224 yards and one touchdown. Six Eagles had at least 20 yards receiving, led by Webster with six catches for 46 yards and a touchdown.

McPherson also had six carries for 54 yards and a touchdown, along with four catches for 36 yards.

In all, seven defenders had at least five tackles, led by junior linebacker Ketner Kupp (12), junior safety Mitch Fettig (9) and Williams (9).

With the win, EWU secured their 12th straight BSC win. They will travel to Cedar City, Utah on Oct. 21 to take on Southern Utah University. •

Sports For tailgaters, gamedays are about more than just football Jeremy Burnham Staff Reporter

For many college football fans, Saturday is the best day of the week. And it’s not just about football, it’s about the entire experience. Fans don’t merely look forward to the game, they look forward to the festivities surrounding it.

Several hours before EWU defeated Montana State University, fans from all over gathered outside to tailgate. Fans traveled near and far to make it to the game: from Seattle, Olympia, Tacoma, TriCities, Yakima and others. While the city they traveled from varied from person to person, one thing was present in everyone­­—a love of Eagle football.

Tailgating means even more to two particular fans who attended the festivities on Saturday. For 2011 EWU graduates Chad and Lindsey Powell, who are now married, tailgating is a reminder of how they met.

“I met my wife here at a tailgate when we were in college,” said Chad Powell. “We didn’t know each other at all beforehand. We met through friends right here at a tailgate.

After we both graduated, we got married.

We have two little kiddos, and we enjoy this great tailgate spot here whenever the Eags play. It’s been great.”

Chad and Lindsey were joined by many friends. Among them was fellow alumnus Curtis Campbell, who was in town from Seattle. For him, coming back and tailgating is an opportunity to visit a campus he misses.

“I come [for] a game or two a year,” said Campbell. “I miss everything about this campus. I miss having biscuits and gravy in the pub. I miss hanging out at The Easterner office when I used to be an editor there. I miss the atmosphere and being around close friends. The west side is a little different.

Traffic is heavy. But my wife and I went to school here and we love coming back.”

Besides returning to a city and campus that are sources of memories for many people, there is another major feature of the tailgate experience: the food. Hot dogs, burgers, roasts, briskets and macaroni and cheese were just a few of the dishes being enjoyed by tailgaters. People brought

smokers, grills and stovetops to prepare all of their favorites. To stay warm, they sat around fire pits. Others had RVs with kitchens inside.

For her gameday meal, Katrina Lindsay was prepared with chicken, macaroni and cheese, and brisket.

“My son is a redshirt freshman,” said Lindsay. “This is our first year tailgating.

The first of many.”

Televisions and satellite dishes were other popular items. While most fans went into the stadium once the game started, some watched it on TV from the parking lot.

Harlan Shellabarger was one of these people.

“We have stadium seating here,” said Shellabarger. “We put our beach chairs in front of the TV because we don’t even go into the game. We watch it on TV and we listen for the crowd noise. We can just sit, eat, drink and have fun the whole time.”

Conversations varied around the parking lots, but one topic came up with a lot of people.

Many fans, especially alumni who have been attending games for a long time, are unhappy about the University of Montana no longer being one of EWU’s protected rivals. While Campbell is disappointed to see Montana go, he is optimistic that Idaho will be able to develop into a quality rival over time.

“I’ll come see us play Idaho,” said Campbell. “I’ll enjoy watching us beat Idaho as much as I enjoy watching us beat Montana. But it’s disappointing because Montana has a 35 year history with us. It was a big thing while I was in college, and it still is now. It will take time with Idaho. As each team gets some wins and some losses, the teams will develop that rivalry and get entrenched in doing battle with each other.”

While the tailgate area was made up of mostly alumni, current students had their own area to get pumped up for the game.

EWU’s new “Swoop Zone” opened at 11 a.m.

The area was open to students only. Free food was provided, and attendees played games and took part in activities, including a rock climbing wall and trampoline. •

EWU outlasts Montana State, wins 12th consecutive Big Sky game Michael Brock Sports Editor

If there’s one characteristic EWU football head coach Aaron Best points out most, it’s resiliency. And the first-year coach had much to rave about after the Eagles’ 31-19 win over Montana State University on Saturday.

EWU had three turnovers, but forced four Bobcats turnovers, including two in the red zone.

“We stubbed our toe a little bit — but we put a Band-Aid on, we don’t go to the doctor,” said Best. “At the end of the day, this team is resilient.”

With the win, the Eagles move to 5-2 overall and 4-0 in Big Sky play. Here’s what happened against Montana State.

EWU was threatening on their first possession, but Gubrud fumbled and the Bobcats recovered. Sophomore running back Antoine Custer Jr. was in the area and had an opportunity to snatch up the ball, but likely thought it was an incomplete pass. MSU couldn’t capitalize on the miscue, however, and turned the ball over on downs.

The Eagles got back on track their next drive, as Gubrud’s 17-yard completion to

sophomore wide receiver Jayson Williams had the team past midfield. The rest of the drive was all Custer, as his two-yard touchdown gave EWU the 7-0 lead. At that point Custer had 45 yards on eight carries (almost entirely on that drive), while Gubrud was 7-for-7 passing for 55 yards.

On the ensuing possession, MSU sophomore quarterback Chris Murray put his team in Eagles territory with a 21-yard completion to sophomore wide receiver Kevin Kassis. The Bobcats then converted two fourth downs, the latter on a rush by Murray to get in the red zone.

However, freshman running back Troy Anderson couldn’t handle Murray’s pitch and EWU recovered Anderson’s fumble at their own 19 yard line. That was MSU’s first fumble of the season.

On 3rd-and-10 to end the first quarter, Gubrud scanned the field--when no one was open, he used his legs to pick up 12 yards. Junior running back Sam McPherson then caught back-to-back first down passes to get past midfield.

Gubrud’s touchdown pass to redshirt freshman tight end Talolo Limu-Jones was called back for holding and the
