Junior quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List for the top player in the FCS. For the season, Garoppolo has thrown for 2,255 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions through six games this season. If he were to win the Walter Payton Award, he would join former Panther and current Dallas Cowboy Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo as the only Panthers to win the Walter Payton Award.

Freshman setter/out-side hitter Abby Saa-lfrank has five triple-doubles on the year. Her most recent comes in a four-set victory over Eastern Kentucky, a victory that ended the Panthers’ 10-game losing streak. Saalfrank posted 15 kills, 15 as-sists and 11 digs. This season Saalfrank is leading the Panthers in kills (173), sets played (71) and total points (199.5). She also ranks second on the team in assists (263) and fourth on the team in digs (132).

Red-shirt junior wide receiver Erik Lora needs just four catches to set the single-season record for catches in program history. His 72 receptions rank sec-ond to Jerry Wright’s 76-catch season in 1984. Lora has also ce-mented himself as one of the best receivers in the country as his 1,001 yards and 72 recep-tions rank first in the nation. He also became the first Eastern receiv-er since 1986 to total more than 1,000 receiv-ing yards in a season.

Eastern’s men’s soccer team has struggled to this point in the sea-son, posting an overall record of 2-10 (0-3 Summit League), but it has a string of games that could move them up to fourth place in the Summit League if the Panthers can go on a winning streak. With just four conference games remaining, the Panthers find them-selves in last place, but with two other teams also winless in confer-ence play, they could make a late season run to secure a conference tournament bid.

Eastern’s rugby team had gotten off to an uncharacteristically slow start this season as it dropped its first two games of the sea-son playing in an unfa-miliar seven-on-seven format. But with the Panthers moving to a 10-on-10 style of play, they returned to old form, recording a 43-10 win over Lindenwood on Oct. 4. The Panthers will return to action at 1 p.m. Saturday when they travel to Bowling Green, Ky., to take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Eastern’s Home-coming, one of the biggest events of the year, is a collab-orative effort financially.

Ceci Brinker, the director of Stu-dent Life, said funding comes from several different departments.

Brinker said she estimates that there are between 15 and 20 major Homecoming events, and the Stu-dent Life office is in charge of around eight of them.

“The bulk of the budget is provid-ed by University Board because they have a Homecoming Committee,” she said.

The committee’s budget is about $20,000, Brinker said.

She said athletics has expenses from the football game and the tail-gate, and housing and dining also has some general expenses.

Overall, Brinker said if she had to guesstimate the amount of mon-ey that will go into this year’s Home-coming, it would be between $30,000 and $40,000.

The major expenses the UB han-dles include prizes, giveaways and

awards for the weekend, which cost around $1,500, Brinker said.

She said another large expense for the UB includes the spirit T-shirts sold before Homecoming.

“This year, they decided to offer the T-shirts in three colors instead of the usual one color,” she said. “Usu-ally, the sales of the shirts are part of their fundraising to offset their oth-er expenses but because they chose this year to make a nicer shirt, they’re actually losing money, which they’re OK with.”

Entertainment costs for the Homecoming Weekend are about $1,000 and include inflatable bounce houses for Throwback Thursday.

“It’s never stifled the spirit for homecoming,” she said. “People are always willing to go the extra mile because it’s Homecoming, and it’s our time to shine and go the extra mile for the great place Eastern real-ly is.”

Decreasing enrollment has taken a toll on Eastern, and has impacted the various academic departments within the university.

Blair Lord, the vice president for Academic Affairs, said one of the departments that has been affected the most is the education depart-ment.

“Generally speaking, education areas have suffered the most in this downturn,” he said. “Part of that is because of what has happened in the profession of education in this state being slow in paying universi-ties and school systems.”

He said the lagging economy is causing public schools to really hurt from the lack of funding.

The formerly named Basic Skills Test for education majors is anoth-er factor in the decline in the edu-cation department.

“They changed the scores (a fu-ture teacher) needed to have dras-tically,” he said. “We went from 96 percent of people passing on their first try to having people try it mul-tiple times and barely a third of students were getting by.”

Lord said the word got out that

it was difficult to stay in education and the test was being changed yet again.

“They help by providing an al-ternative where students can take the ACT with the writing compo-nent and achieve a score of 22,” he said. “If they do that, they don’t have to take the Basic Skills Test.”

Lord said naturally not every ed-ucation student has an ACT score of 22, but that there are many guides and practice tools a student can buy to prepare for the ACT.

There are pockets in each college where there are declines, Lord said.

“Costs are tough, aid is getting scarcer and the economy is just making it hard for families to send people to college,” he said.

Lord said from what he has heard from different departments, every area is eager to know what efforts are being done to increase enroll-ment and are glad to hear about the recruitment plan that is in process.



ENROLLMENT FUNDING

JAIME LOPEZ | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSBeth Speers, a customer at Jackson Avenue Coffee, continues scrolling through her phone despite the im-ages of skeletons and snakes in the background.

ART SHOW

By Jaime Lopez Verge Editor

Even the pleasant smell of caffeine and pastries wafting through the air is not enough to distract customers from the latest gallery of artwork lin-ing the walls of Jackson Avenue Cof-fee for the month of October.

The works of various artists quite literally pop out from their frames, which are part of the art, too.

Wooden horns, miniature hors-es, metal wire and even a jewelry box were all used as building materials.

Artist Joanna Key layered a straw reef with plastic, furry mice to illus-trate how ludicrous the fear of mice really is.

“I think it’s funny that humans, these giant creatures, are so afraid of such tiny critters,” Key said while pointing to her work in the midst of customers who stared at her and her art curiously.

Another one of her popular pieces is a spider web frame she made out of metal wire, pieces of wood, and sprinkled with spiders on the top.

Dave Hunter, another one of the artists the gallery plays host to, said he has been making these types of pictures—bridging a gap between two-dimensional and three-dimen-sional art—for the past two years.

The process is known as assem-blage, and in it, artists craft images with most of the leaning toward gar-ish, haunting scenes.

Hunter said assemblage lends it-self to many different branches of art that he enjoys, like painting, model making and fabrication.

One of his projects is a wooden box with an angel and a skeleton perched at the top.

Hunter said people worry about his state of mind when they ap-proach him and question the art-work hanging in the coffee house.

“I’m putting my fears right out there. I’m nuts and I’m happy with it,” Horton said.

Horton said the artwork height-ens the intensity of human fears so much that the works lose their pow-er and are seen as exaggerations.

Key mainly designs collages, but said the three-dimensional side of as-semblage is better simulating fear.

Some of the artwork was made

out of a collection of antlers; others were strictly made of wood.

At the end of the gallery hang the works of Karenlee Spencer, the spe-cial events organizer for the office of admission.

Unlike most of the other works in the coffee shop, which have some structure to them, Spencer scattered materials in no particular fashion.

Paper, metal, fabric, weathered photos and wood from old furniture were just a few of the materials used in her portion of the gallery.

In one of her works, which she

considers homage to fall and Hal-loween, Spencer piled together or-ange and purple stars in a circular fashion.

“You can create beautiful things out of nothing,” Spencer said. “You can make stuff out stuff.”

Since 1994, D a n C r e w s ’ Eastern Home-coming tradi-t ion has cen-tered on bean soup.

At 6:30 a.m. Saturday, Crews, the director of patron services at the Doudna Fine Arts Center, will be setting up a tent behind O’Brien Field and warming up his kettle to roast his beans as a part of the 18th annual “Tent City” tailgate before the football game.

Along with the soup, they serve

cornbread and the “fix’ins” for the soup such as onion, cheese and ketchup.

“We wanted to do something dif-ferent—it looks horrible, but it real-ly is delicious,” Crews said. “Over the years, we have thought ‘Why don’t we shake it up?’ but decided against it—people look forward to it every year, so why remake the wheel?”

Crews said the tent represents all of the departments that fall under the college and is a place for alum-ni, faculty and current students to connect.

“We’re not trying to sell them anything,” he said. “It is just a gathering place for people to connect and hang out with old

friends.”Although all six academic col-

leges will be represented in “Tent City,” not all of them do the same thing for its tent.

Jonathan McKenzie, the assis-tant to the dean for college commu-nication in the Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Sciences, said they will be giving away reusable grocery bags at his tent.

He said they will have a table within the tent and applied sciences will have a wind turbine at its table.

However, the tent is just one part of how they celebrate Home-coming.

“We have our annual Home-coming breakfast from 8 to 9

a.m. and will be doing something to honor one of our alumni who are receiving one of the alumni awards from the alumni associa-tion,” McKenzie said. “The family and consumer sciences department is celebrating their 100th year, so they will be doing a float in the pa-rade as well.”

Besides the academic colleges, the graduate school and the housing and dining departments will also be hav-ing tents in “Tent City.” Each will have different types of food, includ-ing, hot dogs, hamburgers and chili.

Alumni continue soup traditionC AMPUS

D a n H a r r i -son has spent two hours every night for the past four weeks doing something he’s not used to: cheering and dancing.

Harrison, a junior accounting major and member of Chi Phi, isn’t looking to land a spot on the cheer or dance squad any time soon, though; he’s instead been working on getting ready for “Yell Like Hell” and “Who Wants to be a Mascot?”—a yearly school spirit tradition at Eastern.

Practicing cheer and dance rou-tines is new for Harrison.

The hours of lifting, constant movement and generally emotion-ally draining training—on top of his schoolwork and other obliga-tions—sometimes wore him thin.

“Everyone is dead tired by the end of it,” he said.

Still, Harrison said the hours of hard work are ultimately going to be worth it, as his team performs a mash-up routine of rock, pop and rap songs, something he said he thinks will bring a new flavor to the competition.

Homecoming chairwoman Ka-tana Wilder, a senior communi-cation studies major, said Harri-son’s group’s plan is something the judges will be looking for in a rou-tine.

“I’d like to see someone think outside of the box,” she said.

Wilder said the event is a chance

for registered student organiza-tions, residence halls, fraternities and sororities to show their school spirit, with RSOs and residence halls competing in one category and Greek life in another.

The stands are usually filled with students, faculty and professors, Wilder said, with an MC hyping the crowd with mixed tracks and Eastern chants.

Groups will dress up in cos-tumes or spirit gear to perform a three to five minute routine com-prised of dance and cheer routines.

“It’s usually a high energy event,” Wilder said. “It’s a good transition and capstone for the end of Home-coming week.

Wilder said organizations and residence halls participate in three to five routines of dance and cheer.

The Pink Panthers and the EIU Cheer Team will also perform rou-tines.

The competition is judged by faculty and staff, with judges cho-sen by an interest in cheer and dance, Wilder said.

“That way they know a little something that’s going on,” she said.

Homecoming King Darnell Tyms, a senior communication studies major, said he has partici-pated in “Yell Like Hell” in the past as part of RSO Rhythm and Xta-cy, but this year he has just been coaching them and plans to cheer on his friends.

Even without participating this year, Tyms said he’s ready for the once-a-year emotional rush that

comes from the event.“You see classmates, faculty and

teachers in the audience, and then you rush out in the hall and say, ‘Oh my god, we did it; I can’t be-lieve we did it,'’’ he said. “When you get out, it’s intense.”

Homecoming Queen Sherry Gunn, a senior family and consum-er sciences major, said she thinks spirit events like “Yell Like Hell” help bring everyone together.

She has been sending out tweets inviting her friends to attend one of her favorite events of the year.

“If you don’t have any pride in your school, you’re missing out,” she said. “Pep rallies really help bring people together.”

Both Gunn and Tyms will be in-

troduced at the event.Wilder said even those who

aren’t particularly into school spir-it can take something away from “Yell Like Hell.”

“It’s a Friday night before Homecoming; start off your week-end by showing your support and cheering on whoever you want,” she said. “The success of Home-coming is dependant on student participation.”

“Yell Like Hell” and “Who Wants to be a Mascot?” wil l take place at 7 p.m. on Friday at McAfee Gym.

Jackson Avenue Coffee will be fea-turing the duo “Miss Shevaughn & Yuma Wray” as its weekly musical guest at 7 p.m. Saturday.

It will be the second time the pair has played at the café, and owner Dan Reible said he was happy to invite them back for another show.

He said the two were an entertain-ing act and their music was upbeat and energetic.

“The guitar work and vocals are su-perb,” Reible said.

The duo started making music to-gether in 2009 while living in Chicago.

Erin Frisby, also known as Miss She-vaughn, said they were both in bands at the time, but found that it was easier to write and work together.

“In the beginning, we were so excit-ed to be working with each other be-cause we were so much more serious than the other musicians we were work-ing with,” she said.

The two were living in an apart-ment together and working steady jobs when they decided to make mu-sic their main focus, saving up for al-most an entire year before quitting their jobs and leaving their old lives behind.

“There’s a lot of swallowing of your pride,” said Chris Stelloh, who goes by

Yuma Wray.He said they realized that it is more

important to play music than be com-fortable.

Frisby and Stelloh spent most of 2011 touring the country, playing 125 shows in 29 states.

“We’ve played every possible venue you can imagine,” Stelloh said.

Frisby said they both love living on the road, and they would often have to camp.

“It was very liberating,” Frisby said. They are currently touring in sup-

port of their debut album, “We’re From Here,” which was released on Sept. 11.

The album is reminiscent of their eclectic mix of influences and ranges from upbeat punk songs to country bal-lads.

“The whole idea of songwriting is to do something new, but is also to pay tribute to the stuff that we like,” Stelloh said. “To keep it interesting, we have to jump between styles.”

The two said they have met great musicians and great people along the road and advocate interacting with their audiences.

“You should always be able to go and talk to your musical heroes,” Stelloh said.

Students visit China, get typhoon

Just before 12 students’ month-long journey throughout China end-ed, the first Category-1 typhoon to hit the country in 13 years struck, almost stranding them in Hong Kong.

Typhoon Vicente reached a Signal 10 on July 23, prompting winds beyond 130 mph.

Nicole Magac, a senior marketing major, had never been overseas.

“It was scary—trees, bridges and bill-boards that were all there the day before were knocked down,” she said.

Marko Grunhagen, a distinguished professor of entrepreneurship, led the students on the study abroad program and said not everyone was fortunate enough to catch a flight out of the fierce weather.

“The typhoon hit, and we were lucky to have left Hong Kong after a one-hour delay at the airport,” he said. “There were other people that were stranded in Hong Kong for a week be-cause of canceled flights.”

Thousands of people had flooded the airport, many resorting to sleeping on the floor, Magac added.

Exhausted and relieved some 15 hours later, Magac was back in the United States, reminiscent of her “trip of a lifetime.”

“Every day is a struggle in a different country, but we met some amazing peo-

ple I never would have met before and did things I never would have been able to do,” she said.

The group spent the first two weeks in Beijing taking classes at the Univer-sity of International Business and Eco-nomics, where they grew close to a graduate student named Chakes, who they called Jason.

However, their time in Beijing was not limited to schoolwork.

They visited the Great Wall, the For-bidden City, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven.

Company visits were also a part of the agenda as they visited a beer brew-ery, food-processing plant and Caterpil-lar Inc.

“One of the interesting contrasts for the students in Beijing is that it is truly an international city,” Grunhagen said. “Most Americans, when they think of China and Beijing, they think of a place that is somewhat backwards or faraway, but Beijing is 24/7 and truly where the world meets.”

Magac said the language barrier was difficult, but she became more accus-tomed to alternative forms of commu-nication, like charades.

Their last stop was Hong Kong, where they spent the last week of their trip.

Grunhagen said contrast served as an important factor of the trip.

“They got to see contrast between ur-ban and rural China, and they were ex-posed to different teaching styles in one

of the last communist countries in the world,” he said. “China is one of the hot, emerging markets today and for the students, this is exposure to where business happens globally so they could see how business operates.”

For the longest time now, I have seen my dearest friend slowly fade away.

As a child, he and I would wander the woods behind my house, peeking under every rock and climbing every hill.

In grade school, he and I would dig through countless books and run together through the playground.

We were nearly inseparable. Not a single soul could break the bond we had forged for so long.

That is, no soul but my own. You see, my dearest friend, so many years

ago, was curiosity.Oh, how I enjoyed the endless joy he and I

would have together, spending countless days doing nothing more than daydreaming and ex-ploring our surroundings together.

I learned so many things about myself with him, and I learned so much about the world.

Curiosity was the force that challenged me to do things I had never done, to speak with people I had never spoken to, to think as I had never thought.

Curiosity opened my eyes.

However, my relationship with curiosity slowly weakened over time.

As I entered college and began to commit myself to working more, the demands of life began to strain the bonds curiosity and I had forged so long ago.

No longer did I have time to step out of the house and wander aimlessly through the trees in the woods or the pages of a book. No longer did I have the desire to accept the challenges of new experiences and new peo-ple.

I became comfortable with the routine, the monotonous, and the safe.

However, even though my relationship with

curiosity has faded, I still greatly crave the time I had with him and want to revive our passion.

I want to feel the rush of adrenaline as I leap from one experience to the next, barely looking ahead to see where my feet will land.

I want to feel the pulse of the unknown race through my mind as I contort my thoughts around strange, new concepts.

I want to experience the spontaneity and wonder that only curiosity’s challenges can pro-voke within me.

How I will revive the passion between curi-osity and me is still uncertain, but I will find a way. The strains of adulthood cannot restrain indefinitely the joy I have known.

Even if I am not successful in my attempts, one thing is for certain: No matter what the fu-ture holds for me, no matter the hardships I will endure, curiosity will be there. Deep with-in my heart and mind, I will always have a place for my dearest friend.

This week some of mankind’s latest and greatest accomplishments have been acknowl-edged with gold medals and millions of Swed-ish krona. It’s Nobel Prize season.

This is a great time to see hardworking aca-demics receive the type of recognition that nor-mally seems reserved for pop musicians and star athletes. The prizes give physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and acts of peace a chance to show off their achievements to a public that may not normally care.

I love science, but I don’t get many oppor-tunities to discuss new discoveries each day. It’s not my chosen field of study and instead my days are usually filled with talks of art, comic books and the latest news trends.

But thanks to the Noble Prizes, this week’s news trends have overlapped more with scientific re-search, and I had the opportunity to discuss quan-tum physics and pluripotent cells with friends who normally have no interest in such topics.

I don’t know why we can’t do this more often, though. There are new developments in science everyday, and if you check the right news organi-zations, you’ll find stories on these topics.

Still, considerably more time and coverage is giv-en to entertainment or sports. Just look at this very newspaper. There are eight page sections on each of those topics. This isn’t a bad thing, of course. Those topics are interesting and a lot of people, including myself, want to read about them.

But it’s a shame when more people know the

inner-workings of the Kardashian family than the inner-workings of an atom.

Yes, the theories and information involved with a lot of scientific knowledge are complicated and challenging. It can be difficult to learn about such things, but it also seems like the average person gives up on these things way too easily.

The Nobel Prize in physics was given out to Serge Haroche, of France, and David J. Wine-land, an American, for their work developing new ways to observe subatomic particles such as electrons.

When discussing this with fellow classmates, I was completely disappointed. Not because of their lack of knowledge (there’s a lot each of us don’t know), but because of their attitude. Many of them seemed convinced that they nev-er could understand it and they should leave things up to the geniuses of the world.

There’s a good chance the physicists who win a Noble are often geniuses. Their research is in-novative and can be revolutionary, but I’m sure

they would be the first to tell you that they worked hard to get to where they are.

They had to study for years. The knowledge didn’t just come to them. It seems the average person considers science and mathematics im-possible unless it just comes to them.

But giving up early can lead to dangerous mis-understandings of how the world around them works. It can also mean fewer scientific advance-ments for the rest of us. Not just because fewer in-dividuals are less likely to become scientists, but be-cause the general public will be less likely to fund research that could lead to the next breakthrough.

This year we had a rover land on Mars and the possible discovery of the Higgs Boson. With each of these events, I heard from people saying this was a waste and that it didn’t help our current lives on earth.

But scientific discovery isn’t about finding instant cures to what ails us. It’s about asking questions, developing hypotheses, and testing things. It’s a long-term process and the results we find do not always have an obvious use. We need to see past that. We need to keep seeking understanding, exploring the unknown, and staying curious.

If we don’t, we’re never going to move for-ward.

Don’t give up on science because it’s difficult

COLUMN

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year: Home-coming. Tailgating, a day of football and a night (or, in some people’s cases, a week) of celebration.

Homecoming is not just a time for current students, though, but also the students of the past.

Alums, whether it’s been a few, or a few too many years since you’ve been back in Charles-ton, we welcome you back.

Some things are the same here at Eastern — the sidewalks still flood, the squirrels are still everywhere — but like every other place in the world, time has brought about some changes.

Currently, Eastern is immersed in a new set of issues and discussion-provoking situations. In case this is the first copy of The Daily Eastern News you’ve picked up in a while, we’ll fill you in on the two most important things happening around campus:

1) Chick-fil-A controversy rustling feathersIt’s the issue that just won’t seem to end.

Everywhere you go, it seems as if someone has had something to say about the now infamous “hate chicken” company.

Regardless of your opinion on it, it’s undeniable how much controversy has been created on what is otherwise viewed as a simple meal of a sandwich, waffle fries and lemonade.

This topic especially has Eastern talking because we have a Chick-fil-A on campus.

It has particularly caused an uproar in the LGBTQA community, even moving Eastern students Heather Gerrish and Shelby Koehne to write chalk messages around campus.

Chick-fil-A products have also been used as a tool in alleged hate crimes, with unidentified students writing gay slurs on chicken sandwich wrappers and placing them on EIU PRIDE members’ cars.

This issue doesn’t show any signs of dying down soon, and we will continue to cover it as it develops.

2) There’s a ‘New Era’ of footballCoach Bob Spoo retired as head coach of

Eastern’s football team, leaving behind a 25-year legacy.

Dino Babers took the field this year, and, in some ways, it’s nothing like Eastern football was before.

“New Era” is a fitting name to this high-powered offense that ranks among the best in the Football Championship Subdivision (It’s second-best in the nation; the NCAA says so, guys).

While Spoo’s presence still remains through his players, Babers has brought a different style and is a welcome edition to the Eastern com-munity.

As you can see, things aren’t the same at East-ern. Just because things have changed, don’t feel like you’re no longer a part of this campus. Whether it’s been five, 10 or 30+ years since you’ve graduated, you’re what helped pave the way for this campus.

Eastern and the topics encompassing the campus are still in flux, but that’s how it’s always been and will continue to be.

My friend is fading away, but will always be there

EIU’s s tudent-run literary journal

By Amy Wywialowski Assistant Daily Editor

On Oct. 5 dur-ing Fall Break, it was pouring rain and 45 degrees. Amie Hansen, a freshman special education ma-jor, stood in a poncho on a grass field next to the Tarble Arts Center swinging a flag that is almost as tall she is.

Hansen is a member a Panther Marching Band’s Color Guard, which she said is what she loves to do. Color guard is the flag section of the band.

“I love guard; it is a part of who I am,” Hansen said. “I practice about eight to nine hours a week. We

practice six hours a week with the band, and I probably practice an ex-tra two to three hours.”

Hansen has been a member of various color guards since she was a freshman at Lake Zurich High School in 2008, and she said there are some major differences between high school and college marching band.

“Marching band in college is a bigger time commitment, and we learn routines at a fast pace,” Hansen said. “We are polishing the routine the day before we per-form.”

Hansen will begin her first East-ern Homecoming experience on Saturday for the big “game day.”

“It takes us longer because we all have to do our hair and makeup the

same way, and our coaches help us,” she said. “It can take a while.”

Despite all of the work, she said color guard is something she always wanted to do, and her fellow guard members have become like family.

For Homecoming, the Panther Marching Band will perform at the “Yell Like Hell” pep rally, the Homecoming Parade and the foot-ball game.

“I ’m just excited to see how much blue we can cover Eastern with and learn what goes on dur-ing Homecoming and all of the tra-ditions,” Hansen said. “Be loud, be proud, be blue.”

By Stephanie Markham Staff Reporter

Mary Ann Pettway learned to make quilts from her mother at age 12 to compensate for her family, in-cluding 12 children, having no beds to sleep on.

Residents of Gee’s Bend, Ala., have been keeping warm with handmade quilts for more than two centuries, and Pettway, the manager of Gee’s Bend Quilter’s Collective, is no ex-ception.

The inspiration for designs of the quilts would often come from every-day scenes, Pettway said.

Pettway said some people in the community had poorly insulated houses and could see stars through their roof when they lay down to sleep, so they made star-patterned quilts.

Lucy Mingo and cousins Mary Ann and China Pettway will exhibit and discuss seven of their handmade quilts and various other art pieces from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday in the Atri-um of the Tarble Arts Center.

Pettway said the group will talk about the Gee’s Bend community, what it was like being raised there, and how their quilts eventually came to receive recognition.

“It’s not really about us,” she said. “To me, its about where we’ve come from and how God has helped us and how he can help everybody.”

Jamie Willis, the program director for this presentation, said these wom-en did not always consider their quilts to be works of art.

She said they are part of a fifth generation of quilters descended from slaves living in Gee’s Bend, and when art collector William Arnett discov-ered their quilts in the early ‘70s, they immediately received national atten-tion.

Gee’s Bend quilts have since been

shown in several museums and fea-tured on public television and radio.

Willis described the quilts as hav-ing geometric, non-traditional pat-terns reminiscent of strip-piece quilts made in Africa.

“They are very spontaneous, yet bland,” she said. “They can be com-pared to paintings of post-World War modernism.”

She said the fabrics they use, such as denim and corduroy, are also un-usual.

Pettway said none of her quilts have been featured in museums, but she remembers the first time she saw one of her mother’s quilts on display.

She said it brought tears to her eyes to see somthing made out of her father’s work clothes.

Michael Watts, the director of the Tarble, said people who attend this presentation will learn about United States history, art and cul-ture.

“This is sort of the proto-typical American can-do story of a melding of cultural influences, overcoming the odds, and working together to over-come circumstances to create some-thing unique and valued,” he said.

Watts said the audience might also learn of the effects of fame.

“The second chapter might be how these people have dealt with recogni-tion and notoriety, and whether this recognition has brought financial gain for them, or if they have been exploited, or both,” he said.

The Mattoon Arts Council is spon-soring this event.

Admission is free, but seating will be limited.

Some artwork will be available for sale.

A group of East-ern alumni are put-ting together an LG-BTQA alumni group that will have its first meeting on Saturday this weekend.

Rick Ingram, an Eastern alum, said alumni from Chicago decided to try to start the group to benefit current alums and students.

“Over the last few years, while we’ve been trying to put this together, there have been various incidents happening on college campuses,” he said.

He described a situation he had heard about a college student that committed suicide after his room-mate videotaped his activities.

“There are a variety of challeng-es that are faced by these students, and we as alumni want to figure out if there’s a way that we can help stu-dents make their way through EIU and through the world with some as-sistance,” he said.

Ingram said the group has many long-term goals, including endowing and setting up a scholarship fund fo-cused on LGBTQA and allies.

“We’d also like to provide some social and professional networking activities for alums and undergrads,” he said. “We hope that we can sup-port we can support EIU’s Pride group and provide mentoring in that area as well.”

He said eventually he hopes the group will be able to help facilitate community dialogue between the Eastern Pride group and the Charles-ton community.

“There’s also some legislative ac-tivity that we might be able to get into on behalf of EIU and LGBTA folks,” he said. “Those are all long-

term goals, but we’re just starting out.”

Another goal of the Saturday meeting is to reach out to current students.

“We really want to reach out to Eastern’s current students because they are the future alumni,” he said. “We want to welcome them and help integrate them into our program.”

He said having current students involved in the organization will help the group realize what issues need to be addressed on campus be-cause they are the ones currently wit-nessing the atmosphere.

“They can tell us what they need and give us the feedback we need to help them,” he said.

Ingram said the meeting will also help him assess the amount of inter-est there is in the group and help get people interested in a more formal setting.

He met with President Bill Per-ry about a year ago and solicited the president’s help on this endeavor.

“(Perry) has been very supportive on this manner, along with the rest of the administration,” he said.

Ingram said he hopes the meeting will help the committee find more people who are interested in work-ing on the alumni association and the goals they have identified.

“We want to reach a critical mass of LGBTQA and allied folks who want to get this organization up and running so we can really start orga-nizing and working on these issues,” he said.

The group will meet at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in Room 1418 of Klehm Hall.

LEC TURE

By Shirmeen Ahmad Staff Reporter

A former Eastern art student re-turned to campus to talk about his suc-cess in the art profession on Thursday.

Justin Miller, a 2002 graduate, start-ed his lecture off by talking about when he was a student working with the art professors in the Eastern art depart-ment.

“There are a lot of opportunities at the fingertips if taken advantage of here at Eastern,” Miller said.

Miller said he feels his greatest re-sources here were his professors.

He said one of his greatest mentors is Chris Kahler, a professor and gradu-ate coordinator.

With Kahler’s help, Miller said he applied to a program that helped him get into Notre Dame for graduate school.

Miller explained all the different styles he used as he moved on.

Some of them were abstract, irony and symmetry.

He said one of his biggest inspira-tions for his work is science, especially diagrams.

“Science opens up doors and areas for me to look at,” Miller said.

He said he likes to know what goes on during the experiments that are done.

Miller’s paintings are generally on a small scale, which he said is because with science, especially technology, things are getting small in the future.

Some of the inspiration he got comes from his childhood in Arcola where he lived on a horse farm, but not all of it is exact.

He puts in characters that can be seen as miniscule in the paintings.

As he showed his paintings he got to a series of vintage photographs that he painted over.

All his additions had to do with the names of the photos.

He also explained the process he uses when going over them.

Miller said he makes a lot of his paintings up.

Sometimes he needs resources such as Google images, but most of it he conjures up himself.

“I like not being held to reality, and that really liberates me,” Miller said.

Miller’s last words were of a personal thank you to Eastern.

He said he loved to be back and is very appreciative of all the opportuni-ties at Eastern.

Michael Black, a senior art major, said Miller came into his painting class earlier in the day, which brought him back to attend the lecture.

“His art is really out there,” Black said. “It’s weird but fun. Some might say it’s grotesque but there’s humor in it. It’s like the ‘90s or MTV.”

Black said it was inspiring to know Miller graduated from Eastern.

“If he’s successful from this school then we must have faculty that can pre-pare you,” Black said.

E VENTS

By Tim Deters Features Editor

B e h i n d t h e many activities and events coordinated by the Homecom-ing Committee for Homecoming Week are two student leaders.

Katana Wilder, a senior commu-nication studies major, is the chair-woman of the committee.

She said her main responsibility as committee chairwoman is to ensure the committee is operating efficiently and effectively.

“I make sure that all the planning that goes into the separate Home-coming events are up to par and ev-eryone is doing what they are sup-posed to be doing,” Wilder said.

The Homecoming Committee is broken down into subcommittees that are responsible for coronation, community relations, activities and the parade.

Wilder began on the committee as chair-elect last year after deciding she wanted to become more involved on campus.

“I decided to apply and get in-volved on campus, so I decided ‘Why not?’, and I just went for it,” she said.

After applying and being accepted, the committee chair-elect must serve for a full year and then automatical-ly becomes committee chair the fol-lowing year.

Wilder said another responsibili-ty of hers is to coach this year’s com-mittee chair-elect, Joshua Jackson, getting him comfortable with and knowledgeable about Homecoming and the position of committee chair.

“I give him an overall view of what Homecoming is and everything that goes into it,” she said.

Wilder said being committee chair elect is a very good learning experi-

ence that allows a student to under-stand what it takes to lead and coor-dinate a large event like Homecom-ing.

Wilder said the job of committee chairperson is more demanding than the job of committee chair-elect, and her previous experience made this year much easier.

“It’s been a big difference,” she said. “I feel like I have a better han-dle on things this year. Last year, I got to sit back and see how Home-coming works, and I got to observe and learn from mistakes.”

Wilder said many students on campus do not know that the Home-coming Committee is led by students or the amount of work the job re-quires.

“I actually don’t think a lot of stu-dents know what goes into Home-coming planning,” she said. “Before I applied for the position, I didn’t know myself.”

The greatest challenge Wilder has faced this year as committee chair-person has been moving Homecom-ing to the second week in October instead of the last week in October.

“That only made everything due faster as far as deadlines and trying to get everything to fit in,” she said.

However, Wilder said she has en-joyed her position and looks forward to seeing the hard work of the com-mittee pay off.

“We have been working really hard to make this Homecoming very special and successful, so I’m anxious to see how everything unfolds and see our hard work put to play,” she said.

Repeated attempts to contact Joshua Jackson were not replied to.

HOMECOMING

New staff members excited to experience first Homecoming By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor

Freshmen and transfer students are not the only ne w peop l e on campus to experi-ence Eastern Homecoming; new staff members are also in the mix.

Morgan Busch, the resident direc-tor of Andrews Hall, said she is look-ing forward to seeing all the school spirit during the week.

“I think it’ll be a chance to real-ly see how many students come out and take part in the events going on,” Busch said.

Busch said she would like to see all the campus organizations taking part in the events of Homecoming.

“I know in the past I’ve seen a lot

of Greek involvement in Homecom-ing, and so it’ll be really interesting to see the housing side of the event this year and seeing what students in the residence halls are doing,” Busch said.

Busch attended graduate school at Ball State University in Indiana, and that is where her Homecoming expe-riences have come from.

“I think I took part in all campus events that were open to all students,” Busch said.

Local businesses and organizations have signed up to participate in the 2012 Homecom-ing Parade on Saturday.

The parade will start at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Seventh Street.

It will travel up Seventh Street to Monroe Avenue. The procession will take a left and travel to Sixth Street, turn right on Polk Avenue and left on Division to O’Brien Field.

Ashley Beaudoin, the University Board Homecoming parade co-chair-woman, said there are about 100 entries

for the parade with about 15 floats. Beaudoin, a senior psychology ma-

jor, said the route has been the same for the last four years.

Beaudoin said the route is longer, but it’s also better for the community than it was four years ago.

“We want to get more of the com-munity involved; that is why we switched it,” Beaudoin said.

The parade route ended at Old Main before the switch four years ago.

Beaudoin said the parade is meant to include the community and the school.

“It’s exciting to prepare for it— seeing the new entries and the differ-ent kinds of registered student orga-nizations,” Beaudoin said.

Beaudoin said she is excited to see what the different organizations come

up with for the floats or car decora-tions this year.

Beaudoin said some of groups that will participate in the parade are the Panther Marching Band, the Charles-ton High School Marching Band and other local businesses.

“There are different people that are coming together and getting involved,” Beaudoin said. “Everyone is involved, even the community.”

Junior quarterback Jimmy Garop-polo leads the Panthers up-tempo of-fense.

He is a two-time national player of the week award winner, a two-time Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week recipient, and he was just recently named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List for the na-tion’s top FCS player.

This season, Garoppolo has posted career numbers under first-year head coach Dino Babers’ newly implement-ed offense. He ranks second in the na-tion in total offense, totaling 378 yards per game.

For the season, he has thrown for 2,255 yards, 20 touchdowns and sev-en interceptions, and has totaled more than 300 passing yards in six of their seven games this season and has thrown for five touchdowns in three different games.

“(Babers) told me good things about the offense,” Garoppolo said. “Any quarterback would love running

an offense like this. I’m surprised about the production, but I’m happy about it.”

In the Family Weekend victory over Austin Peay, Garoppolo totaled 453 passing yards and five touchdowns in just three quarters of play, marking the first time in his career when he threw for more than 400 yards in a game.

He also totaled 48 rushing yards for a career-best 501 total yards of offense. His 501-yard effort trails Sean Payton by just six yards for the best offensive game in program history.

“Getting that 400-yard mark was nice,” Garoppolo said. “For that being my first time, it was nice, and it hap-pened in three quarters, surprisingly.”

In his most recent game, against Tennessee-Martin, Garoppolo threw for 428 yards, passing Jeff Christensen and Jeff Thome for fourth and third all-time, respectively, in total offense in a career.

Garoppolo trails only Super Bowl-winning head coach Sean Payton and Dallas Cowboy Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo as the most productive quarterbacks in Eastern history. His

54 career touchdown passes also rank third in program history behind Romo and Payton.

“It’s an honor,” Garoppolo said. “It’s very humbling, too. All the hard work we put in this offseason — during the spring, fall camp and in the summer — it’s all paying off right now. We have a good thing going.”

On the chances of passing Romo and Payton as Eastern’s most successful quarterback, Garoppolo said it was un-likely, but something that is possible if he continues to play at his current level.

“It’s a long shot, but it’s within reach,” he said. “It’s a good goal to set for yourself. If I could be up there with them, I would be in good company.”

Garoppolo has led the Panthers to their best start since their 2009 OVC championship season, and has the Pan-thers hopeful of contending for anoth-er conference title in 2012.

As a team, the Panthers lead the OVC in several offensive categories, ranking first in scoring offense, total offense and touchdown’s scored. Their 45.5-point-per-game average leads the OVC and ranks third nationally, trail-

ing just Wofford and Old Dominion as the most prolific offenses in the na-tion. Eastern also ranks second na-tionally in total offense, averaging 538 yards per game.

“If we keep doing what we are do-ing and everything keeps going the way it is, we could average 40 and may-be even 50 points (for the season),” Garoppolo said. “We just have to keep doing what we are doing — practicing hard, working hard in the weight room and the film session — and everything will fall into place for us.”

Although he is on pace to become one of the most successful quarterbacks in program history, he has focused on returning Eastern to football promi-nence rather than focusing on personal achievements.

“A playoff birth,” Garoppolo said. “That’s what I’m shooting for. What-ever else comes with it, the yards and the touchdowns, that’s great. But, that playoff birth is what I’m shooting for.”

The Eastern volleyball team will head south for two Ohio Val ley Conference matchups against Austin Peay in Clarksville, Tenn., and Murray State in Murray, Ky., Oct. 12-13.

The Panthers are coming off a four-set win over Eastern Kentucky, a win that put an end to their drawn-out 10-game losing streak.

“I think we did a great job,” head coach Kate Price said. “Our offense, defense and passing were all in-sync and we’re looking to replicate that and get that going more of-ten. We did a great job at times just putting the ball away and that’s what we need to fo-cus on.”

The win marked the Panthers’ first conference and home win of the year, putting them at 4-15 overall, and 1-5 in OVC action.

Senior middle hitter Alison Berens said she feels that the win over Eastern Kentucky was something the team was in dire need of for fu-ture success.

“All we needed was a win,” the team captain said. “For us to get that back under our belts and have that winning feeling back is huge. I think we really needed that, so hopefully we continue to do that and win these upcoming games.”

Eastern will see its first opponent, Austin Peay, at 7 p.m. Friday. Austin Peay is 9-12 over-all, and 3-3 in conference play.

The Governors are coming off two confer-ence matches resulting in opposite outcomes last weekend.

The first being a four-set loss to Southeast Missouri (16-25, 20-25, 28-26, 19-25), the sec-ond coming as a straight set win over Tennessee-Martin (25-23, 25-16, 25-21), both were road contests.

The Governors have split their two home matches this season, as they lost to Jacksonville State but beat Tennessee Tech.

Eastern carries a 1-6 road record, with its last three contests coming as straight set loss-es to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Tennessee State and Illinois-Chicago.

The latter matchup with the Murray State Racers will be played at noon on Saturday. The Racers come in at 3-13 overall, and are also 1-5 in the OVC.

They have lost six straight matches, the most recent come to Tennessee-Martin in a four-set affair (20-25, 25-19, 23-25, 20-25), and South-east Missouri in straight sets (25-22, 25-15, 25-17).

Murray State’s home record is 1-3 with the lone win coming over Tennessee Tech, the worst OVC team at 2-16 and winless through six con-ference games.

Eastern’s next matches come the following weekend, as Austin Peay and Murray State will travel to Charleston, with Eastern playing host Oct. 19-20.

Panthers seeking winning streak

By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

The Eastern men’s soccer team is heading into an important in-state rivalry game Friday against Western Illinois, Eastern head coach Adam Howarth said.

The Panthers are one of three win-less Summit League teams this season, including Western Illinois, and Friday will be their next chance at a win.

But the Panthers will be playing a Western Illinois team that is fresh off a Summit League championship.

Western Illinois, with a 5-2 re-cord in conference last year, became the first team since Oakland in 2007 to win both the regular season and tournament championships in the Summit League.

This season, though, Western Illi-nois is 0-1-2 in the Summit League and 2-7-3 overall.

“In a lot of ways they’re in a simi-lar boat to us,” Howarth said. “(The game is of) huge importance in con-ference and in bragging rights.”

Friday, even getting a tie against Western Illinois would be important,

Howarth said.“Anything now is so important,”

Howarth said. “You get down to the stretch run, you have to worry about ourselves and how we play.”

Western Illinois has been at its best on the road this season, with both of its wins coming away from home.

Western Illinois has had six play-ers score goals this season, led by Austin Gochneaur. He has two goals and one assist this season. One of his goals was a game winner.

Western’s Nathan Bruinsma leads the team with 29 shots this season. He

has one goal and two assists this season.Howarth said he expects Western Il-

linois to be ready for the game Friday.Even so, Howarth wants his team to

protect its home field advantage. The Panthers are 1-3 this season at home.

“We’ve been supported well this year and need to give something back,” Howarth said.

The game is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Lakeside Field.

Eastern's men’s and women’s tennis teams will compete at the Southern Illinois Fall Shootout on Sunday in Carbondale.

Both teams are coming off victories against Southern Indi-ana and Missouri-St. Louis, re-spectively.

Head coach John Blackburn said the teams have been hard at work during practice.

“We are still focusing on each player’s skills and play on the court,” he said.

The men’s team is coming off their only home appearance this fall with great confidence in their doubles play.

The Panthers were able to sweep the three matches of the doubles portion of their match against Missouri-St. Louis last Wednesday en route to a 4-3

win.The women’s team has not

seen action since their win in Evansville, recording a 8-1 win over the Screaming Eagles.

Senior Warren Race remains undefeated in doubles play this fall and said he is looking for-wa rd to the tou rnament a t Southern Illinois-Carbondale.

“We are excited to play this weekend. We are exc i t ed to prove ourselves and see the work we have put in during practice pay off,” Race said. “We have been working on our skills and we want to see how they will work for us.”

Blackburn said both teams have shown improvement as the early weeks of the fall season have passed.

Blackburn highl ighted the men’s doubles team of freshman Robert Skolik and Race.

The duo have teamed up to win the B Flight championship at the team’s first tournament at Wright State in September and also recorded a win in doubles competition against Missouri-St.

Louis.The women’s team also joins

the men in quality doubles play.Freshman Ali Foster and se-

nior Kristen Laird won three doubles matches in mid-Septem-ber at the SIU Edwardsville Fall Invitational and in their road match against Southern Indiana.

Foster also has won three sin-gles matches this year, includ-ing two at Southern Illinois-Ed-wardsville.

The women’s team will be led by sophomore Sephora Boul-bahaiem, who won two singles matches at the Southern Illinois-

Edwardsville tournament and won convincingly against South-ern Indiana.

Junior and first year player for the men’s team, Anthony Hal-lam has not seen action since the Wright State tournament, but said he continues to work on his game during practice.

“I believe that our hard work during practice will give us a good chance this weekend,” Hal-lam said.

TENNIS PRE VIE W

Z ACHARY WHITE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSMichael Sperry, a senior, hits a ball back to Harry Hayburn during the match against the University of Missouri-St. Louis Wednesday, Oct. 3. Sperry's match was the final singles game of the day, which determined the Eastern win after Sperry won better of his three sets.

Well, we’re about three months into the “New Era of Panther football” that we’ve been hearing so much about, and it’s pretty safe to say that this is indeed a new era.

New head coach Dino Babers has already topped last year’s win total, as well as help rewrite numerous pages in the Eastern record books. Players are already putting up career numbers, and the scary thing is that there’s still a good chunk of football still to be played.

Dec. 6 of last year was the first opportunity we got to meet this Dino Babers guy in a crowded room in Lantz Arena for his public interview to take the reigns as head coach. We had already sat through three other coaches, who all sounded alright, but everything they said sounded sort of the same.

In came Babers, who told us he was going to run an offense that was going to be the fastest thing we’ve ever seen. Babers didn’t lie.

In his interview, he talked about his experiences at Baylor, and what the Baylor offense was doing to perennial football powerhouses.

“TCU and Oklahoma cramped up in the fourth quarter,” Babers said. “Texas just stopped playing. Did you watch the game?”

I sat there thinking, is that what we’re going to see at Eastern next year?

Well, Southern Illinois and Murray State both seemed to get a little winded toward the fourth quarter. Austin Peay just stopped playing. Did you watch the game?

In his interview, Babers said ultimately, the transi-tion will begin with the current players. Again, Babers didn’t lie. Look around and you still see the same fac-es. Jimmy Garoppolo, Erik Lora, Jake Walker, Sam Hendricks. It’s almost hard to believe these same guys took the field last year and only managed a couple of wins. Sure, Babers brought in a few of his own guys, Keiondre Gober, LeQuince McCall, just to name a couple. But the Panthers are largely the same faces.

After the interview was over, we sought out a few player reactions. One player we found was Erik Lora. Lora said he thought spreading the ball around to a couple of receivers would be “pretty nice.” Safe to say that Lora, who is having the best season of his life, is thinking this whole thing is a little more than just “pretty nice.”

I think Babers is changing the culture around this campus about football. Before the Murray State game, someone asked me a question that I’ve nev-er been asked in my three years here: “Are you go-ing to the game?”

The new era is here, and it looks like it might be here to stay.

REGISTERED STUDENT ORGANIZ ATION

By Dominic Renzetti Staff Reporter

Each sport has its own sacred tradi-tions, but the Eastern hockey club has one that’s just a little different.

Each week, members of the East-ern hockey club participate in a week-ly shootout. The loser of the shootout is donned as the “Bohmer.”

As the Bohmer, the player must wear an old hockey helmet for the week — everywhere.

The helmet must be worn around campus, in class; wherever the player goes, the helmet goes.

“This tradition has been going on for about 15 to 20 years,” Andrew Ma-ronich, junior forward, said. “It was start-ed to keep things light after practice, and to work on the shootout game scenario.”

Maronich said he thinks the tradi-tion got its name after a former player who would frequently lose shootouts.

“Rumor has it, it was named after a player on the club team, who seemed to lose the shootout more often than not, and that’s how it got its name.”

He said the Bohmer tradition is something that former club members

make sure the team continues.“It is something that the alumni

make sure we continue to do, and is something that we all participate in during our annual alumni game every year,” he said.

“We have been doing it for the last three years that I have been here at EIU, and I do not see it stopping any time soon.”

A frequent winner (or loser) of the Bohmer is Steven Kriegshauser, a ju-nior sports studies major and defense-man on the team.

“It’s always embarrassing the first few minutes of class as all the students give you weird looks, especially if you’re late,” Kriegshauser said. “They all find it funny, and it always lightens the mood in class.”

To assure that the helmet is be-ing worn in class, players are required

to take a photo with their professor while wearing the helmet.

“As for the professors, they get a kick out of it,” he said. “Most even know what it means from past players in their class. They love that we added that we have to take a picture with them.”

Despite the embarrassment, Krieg-shauser said he enjoys the team’s tradi-tion.

“It lightens the mood after a tough practice, and when we see them in class wearing it or see the picture afterwards everyone has a good laugh,” he said.

“We do it just for that reason, it’s a good time that everyone takes part in. It has been a tradition for years and it connects the school with the team, which is always good for fan support.”


Hockey club keeps tradition Team set for inviteGOLF

By Cody Delmendo Staff Reporter

This weekend Eastern's men's golf team wraps up the fall season at Har-bor Side Golf Course in East Chicago for the Chicago State Fall Invitational.

So far this season, Eastern has re-corded a tenth place finish out of 14 teams at the Morehead State Wasio-to Winds Fall Kick-Off. The Panthers followed that up with an eighth-place finish out of nine teams at the Pur-due Midwest Shootout, and recorded a 13th-place finish out of 15 teams at the DePaul Fall Invitational.

Although the Panthers have strug-gled this season they are aiming to fin-ish the fall season on a high note.

None of the current players have ever played at Harbor Side Golf Course, so it will be a big test for not just the younger players but for seniors Kevin Flack and Tommy Ponce.

“I’m excited. I love playing new courses, not to mention I’ve heard it’s a very nice course," Ponce said. "We will play a practice round Sunday so I will get to examine the course and be pre-pared to play in the tournament."

Flack has led the Panthers in every

tournament this fall season while Ponce has struggled in every tournament. Flack had his best finish of the year at the Morehead St. Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-Off, finishing tied for tenth place individually. Ponce’s best finish was also at that same tournament, recording a 30th place finish.

Despite Ponce’s struggles so far this season, he is still confident that he can turn it around. “I feel good. My putting suffered at DePaul, so I need to get that back to where it should be, but I’m hit-ting the ball well," Ponce said. "I just need to get every part of my game click-ing at the same time."

At the DePaul Fall Invitational soph-omore James Jansen made his first ap-pearance this season. Despite finishing tied for 50th place, he did finish with the third-best score for the Panthers.

Look for other players like freshmen Austin Sproles and Oscar Borda to keep improving in East Chicago as well.

The Panthers will open the Chicago State Fall Invitational on Sunday, Oct. 14 and will conclude the tournament on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Spoo settles into life of relaxationBy Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

He doesn’t have to go on recruiting trips, sit in uncomfortable buses or run football practices anymore, but for-mer head coach Bob Spoo does have to watch his daughter’s two Chihuahuas, Lydie and Newt.

While his wife, Susan, and daughter, Katie, are in Jackson Hole, Wyo., this week, Spoo is at his home in Charles-ton trying to drown out the sounds of the dogs’ constant yipping and yap-ping.

But the dogs really aren’t that bad — they’re friendly. They cuddle next to him on his pillow at night, he said.

Even with the dogs on his pillows, Spoo will sleep well at night because he’s comfortable knowing he doesn’t have anything to do the next day.

“It’s been a great relief to know that you wake up and face the day without any serious problems and don’t have to be anywhere at any particular time watching this or doing that,” Spoo said.

Spoo retired from coaching at the end of last season, after 50 years in the game and 25 as Eastern’s head coach.

He tries to keep busy and active with so much free time on his hands, exercising at the Rec Center every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morn-ing and taking a cardiac recovery class every Tuesday and Thursday morning.

Otherwise, Spoo reads Time maga-zine and newspapers like USA Today, Chicago Tribune and Mattoon Journal Gazette and Charleston Times-Courier every day.

He’s an active member of Rotary In-ternational and the St. Charles Borro-meo Church choir, and loves to travel.

Spoo and his wife went to England this summer to meet their daughter for five days, traveling from London to Liverpool, Bristol and Cardiff, Wales.

Spoo said he has traveled more over-seas than in the United States, minus the trips with the Eastern football team in his career.

Spoo said he does not miss the long bus trips with the football team, but said he and his wife will probably ex-plore more of the U.S. with the more time they have.

Meanwhile, Spoo remains a loyal fan of Eastern football, while having little relations and involvement with the university. He’s gone to all of the home games, except the opening game against Southern Illinois-Carbondale because he and his wife were returning from England that day.

Spoo said being at the games keeps him involved in the sport, but does not come with the same pressure as be-ing a head coach.

“The relief is knowing that you didn’t win or lose,” Spoo said, smiling. “You don’t have to worry about that part.”

He’s been relieved of all the pres-sures of being a college football coach and said “it was time” when he final-ly retired.

“I’m less grumpy, maybe, less on edge,” Spoo said. “I’m more relaxed —

enjoying life a little bit. Coaching can get to you after 50 years.”

Spoo doesn’t miss the pressure, ex-pectations, recruiting trips or the has-sle of having to worry about every little thing involving the team, but he does miss some things.

“I don’t miss a lot of the off the field type things,” Spoo said. “I miss the ca-maraderie and a lot of the players, but I’m over the recruiting part of it.”

He gets some of the companionship by talking with head coach Dino Babers once a week and eating McDonald’s breakfast every Friday morning with Roy Wittke, a friend who was on Spoo’s coaching staff. Babers was on Spoo’s first coaching staff at Eastern.

He sees and talks to some of the coaches he’s known the longest, but said he hasn’t gotten any sudden urges

or feelings that he is supposed to be on the football field… yet.

“I’m not sure how it will all turn out,” Spoo said. “I’m much more at ease and feeling good about the way things are going.”

He is at ease with the way the East-ern football team is playing right now, too, saying Babers has done a great job of putting the players in positions to succeed.

But he does not want to give Babers all the credit for the talent on the ros-ter.

“He’s got some players,” Spoo said. “I like to think the cupboard wasn’t entirely bare.”

When his wife and daughter return from their trip Saturday, Katie will take the dogs home with her to Rockford and the house will be a little quieter.

But there is an “outdoor cat” that will be around that he is getting friendlier with, Spoo said.

The cat has been more comfortable sleeping in the house at night, Spoo said. He has had to make sure the dogs and cats are not fighting each other this week, though.

“(Lydie) chases (the cat), so I can’t let her in. I feel bad,” Spoo said.

Spoo has attended the two of the three Eastern home games and the game against Illinois State this season.

This weekend, as on any other Sat-urday in the Fall, Spoo will be near a football field. Only for the third time in 50 years, Spoo will be a fan, not a coach.

Saturday’s Ohio Valley Con-ference matchup between East-ern and Jacksonville State will pit the Panthers (3-3) up-tempo style of play against the Game-cocks (3-2) physical s ty le of play.

The Panthers boast the No. 1-ranked offense in the OVC, leading the conference in total of-fense, touchdowns and points per game.

As for Jacksonville State, it boasts a defense that is among the best in the OVC in defending the pass, allowing just 207 yards per game.

Eas t e rn head coach Dino Babe r s c red i t ed the Game -cocks stingy pass defense to their scheme.

“The reason why they are so good in pass defense is because they play man-to-man,” Babers said. “They play press man-to-man coverage. It’s a very difficult coverage to throw against.”

With the man-to-man defen-sive scheme, the Gamecocks will be defending Eastern’s wide re-ceivers on the line of scrimmage, which will make it difficult for Eastern to match the production

it typically gets in the short pass-ing game.

“There won't be any separation on the receivers,” Babers said. “In situations like that, you have to create your own separation. It will be like press man-to-man on a basketball court, that’s how close they will be on our receiv-ers. (Our receivers) have to find a way to separate themselves from the defender and create enough space where Jimmy (Garoppolo) can have enough room to throw the ball to them.”

Along with the receivers cre-ating separation, Babers stressed the importance that Garoppolo commands the offense and avoids forcing passes into coverage.

“(Garoppolo) has to be the end of line commander, and he has to be smart,” Babers said. “When he has a throw he needs to make it, and when he doesn’t have a throw he need not make it. There may be a bunch of situations where he just needs to throw the ball away, not take a hit, and if no-body is open just throw the ball in the dirt and move on to the next play.”

As for Jacksonville State’s of-fense, it matches the physical-i ty i t s defense br ings to the field as it brings a rushing at-

tack that ranks with the best in the OVC.

The Gamecocks use a trio of running backs and two dual-threat quarterbacks to contribute in the running game.

“They play three tailbacks and all three are fabulous runners, and their No. 3 running back is a transfer from Georgia,” Babers said. “They just rotate these guys in and out and keep fresh tail-backs coming in. They play two quarterbacks and both of them are capable of running the ball. So, really, you have five tailbacks, so to speak, that split up the car-ries.”

Their most productive running back has been DaMarcus James, as he is rushing for 101.6 yards per game.

He has also been a force near the goal l ine, recording f ive touchdowns in as many games this season.

Along with James, the Game-cocks wil l feature Troymaine Pope and former Georgia Bulldog Washaun Ealey.

Pope is averaging 48 yards a game, while Ealey has rushed for 45 yards a game and one touch-down.

To limit the Gamecocks pro-duction in the running game, the

Panthers will have to match their physicality at the line of scrim-mage.

“It starts with the defensive line,” Babers said. “Our defen-sive line has done a good job against the run with Roosevelt (Holliday), (Artaveous) Dowdell, Pat (Wertz), and (Greg) Mahan. Those guys have to plug those inside gaps and hold the point. They can’t get pushed back to the linebackers.”

Outside of matching Jackson-ville State’s physicality, Babers stressed the importance of getting a win following a loss to Tennes-see-Martin.

“It’s important for us to get a victory because we lost last week,” Babers said. “Right now we are 3-3 and we have that los-ing taste in our mouth, we need to get it out of our mouths. We won’t be happy until we get a win, and we need to find a way to score one more point that Jack-sonville State.”

The Panthers will host the Gamecocks at 1:30 p.m. Satur-day at O’Brien Field for Home-coming.

GAME DAY PREDICTIONS

Eastern gets off to a quick start in front of a near-capacity crowd at O’Brien Field. Garoppolo breaks the 300-yard mark for the sixth time this season and throws four touchdown passes en route to picking up Eastern’s first Homecoming win since 2009.

Jacksonville State’s rushing attack proves to be too much for Eastern’s defense. Also, The Gamecocks man coverage shakes up the Panthers' passing game and spoils their Homecoming in a back and forth game.

The Panthers stay undefeated at home and put on a show for the Homecoming crowd. They bounce back from last week and take down a tough Jacksonville State team. It won’t be easy, though.

Junior quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List for the top player in the FCS. For the season, Garoppolo has thrown for 2,255 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions through six games this season. If he were to win the Walter Payton Award, he would join former Panther and current Dallas Cowboy Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo as the only Panthers to win the Walter Payton Award.

Freshman setter/out-side hitter Abby Saa-lfrank has five triple-doubles on the year. Her most recent comes in a four-set victory over Eastern Kentucky, a victory that ended the Panthers’ 10-game losing streak. Saalfrank posted 15 kills, 15 as-sists and 11 digs. This season Saalfrank is leading the Panthers in kills (173), sets played (71) and total points (199.5). She also ranks second on the team in assists (263) and fourth on the team in digs (132).

Red-shirt junior wide receiver Erik Lora needs just four catches to set the single-season record for catches in program history. His 72 receptions rank sec-ond to Jerry Wright’s 76-catch season in 1984. Lora has also ce-mented himself as one of the best receivers in the country as his 1,001 yards and 72 recep-tions rank first in the nation. He also became the first Eastern receiv-er since 1986 to total more than 1,000 receiv-ing yards in a season.

Eastern’s men’s soccer team has struggled to this point in the sea-son, posting an overall record of 2-10 (0-3 Summit League), but it has a string of games that could move them up to fourth place in the Summit League if the Panthers can go on a winning streak. With just four conference games remaining, the Panthers find them-selves in last place, but with two other teams also winless in confer-ence play, they could make a late season run to secure a conference tournament bid.

Eastern’s rugby team had gotten off to an uncharacteristically slow start this season as it dropped its first two games of the sea-son playing in an unfa-miliar seven-on-seven format. But with the Panthers moving to a 10-on-10 style of play, they returned to old form, recording a 43-10 win over Lindenwood on Oct. 4. The Panthers will return to action at 1 p.m. Saturday when they travel to Bowling Green, Ky., to take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Eastern senior runner Olivia Klauss leads the women’s cross coun-try team.

Klauss said she decided to be-come a runner when she was in high school.

She took up cross country after she was cut from her volleyball team and said that running has been a ma-jor part of her life ever since.

Her decision to become a runner has paid off as she experienced suc-cess at the high school level.

She was an Illinois all-state cross country runner each of the four years she ran, including a state champion-ship in Class A of her senior year.

In track, she medaled in all four years and won the state 4x800 race and the mile run as a senior.

Although she had a taxing sched-ule, she didn’t let her success as a runner distract her from her academ-

ics as she made the Illinois Academic All-State team and was a valedictori-an at Eureka High School.

After her success in high school, she decided to attend Miami of Ohio.

Once on campus, she red-shirted before running during her red-shirt freshman season.

Following her red-shirt freshman season, Klauss decided to transfer to a school closer to home.

She decided that Eastern was the choice for her.

“Eastern was real ly the only school I could see myself going to,” she said. “I talked to a girl on the team and then eventually the coach. It just seemed like the team was a big family.”

Klauss said she hasn’t regretted her decision of transferring to Eastern.

“The track and cross country pro-gram here is a great one to be a part of,” she said. “The coaches here truly care about us and want us to succeed not only in athletics, but in our aca-demic and future lives.”

Since arriving at Eastern, she has been one of the best runners, earning a spot onthe All-Ohio Valley Confer-ence Second Team in her first season at Eastern.

She was named to the first team in each of the last two years.

As a senior, she has continued to be one of the best runners in the OVC, earning conference Runner of the Week honors.

She won the award after placing fourth at the first meet, the Walt Crawford Invitational, where she ran a time of 18:16.61.

She was even better at the Illinois Intercollegiate, finishing 21st over-all with a time of 18:13. At the load-ed Louisville Classic, she placed 21st with at time of 18:23.70.

With Klauss leading the way, the women’s team as a whole is to win the OVC championship for the sec-ond straight season.

Klauss said she believes the se-nior-laden Panthers can take the crown again.

“We are a team that improves as we get deeper into our season, com-pared to the other teams in our con-ference that will begin to level out,” she said. “The best is yet to come for us.”

CROSS COUNTRY

There are many different possibilities as to why the Panthers suddenly flipped the switch on their season, but regard-less of the cause, they are back to East-ern women’s rugby. Some of the reasons may dictate how the rest of their season plays out.

After beginning the season with a goose egg in the wins column, the Pan-thers put a beat down on Lindenwood last Thursday. The victory featured dominant performances by sophomore center Nia Williams and sophomore lock Kim Youhas. Williams chalked three trys to put her season total at six, four ahead of Madison Kissner. Youhas, a breakthrough player this season, re-corded seven tackles and converted four two-point conversions in a complete showing on the pitch.

Williams and Youhas look similar to the Lauren Doyle and Stefanie Mahan duo last year that led to an undefeated season.

Although Mahan did not kick con-versions, she led the team in tackles as Kim Youhas is this season. Doyle was the leading scorer on the offensive side of the ball; Williams leads the team in points and trys. The numbers are not the statistics Doyle and Mahan be-stowed last year, but the concept re-mains the same.

Along with sophomore fly-half Caris-sa Burge emerging as a leader, the cen-tral talent on the rugby team appears to be with the underclassmen. What does this mean for the future? It means that the Panthers have only begun a new era of dominance, starting with the second half of this season.

Eastern has dominated competitors since its inception in 1998, posting a 120-22 record overall, and a 95-9 re-cord as an NCAA squad. Their prowess reached a peak in 2002 when the aver-age margin of victory was 62-1, because of shutting out every team except one.

With the victory last week the team seems to be back on track and ready to face Western Kentucky. The Panthers speed and strength will be too much for the Big Red.

Bi l l y the Panther i s known around Eastern as the energetic mascot that fires up fans at all dif-ferent events. People know of Billy, but don’t know much about him.

Though the famous mascot of Eastern doesn’t usually speak, this time, he made an exception. And, when he does talk, he prefers to do so in the third person.

Anthony Catezone: What kind of personality is Billy the Panther?

Billy the Panther: “Billy is just Billy. I just want to help everybody. I’m an outgoing Panther. I’m a peo-ple’s Panther. I just want to be there for people and help them break out of their shell. Billy just wants to be a role model for everybody.”

AC: What are the responsibilities

of being Billy the Panther?BP: “Be ing a t e ve r y even t .

Showing off the energy that peo-ple want, so they can feed of off it. I just have to pump up the crowd. Sometimes, people are too afraid to be who they are and show their spirit like I do, so I have to get that out of them.”

AC: What is your favorite thing about being Billy?

BP: “It makes you break out of your shell, because, as Billy, people don’t really know who you are. So, you can actually just be who you are but as Billy the Panther, you express yourself however you want to.”

AC: What is your least favorite thing about being Billy?

BP: “There has never been a time when I have disliked being Billy.”

AC: What is the general reception that you get from fans?

BP: “They love Billy. People always shout out, ‘I love you, Billy! I want to marry you!’”

AC: How many pictures, on aver-age, do you take at an event?

BP: That’s a good question. Well, the first football game I remember I took so many pictures. I would say, on average, 70 to 80 pictures. People are screaming ‘Billy come take a pic-ture!’ Kids come up to me ‘Billy, can I take a picture with you?’”

AC: Do you actually smile under the mask?

BP: “(Laughs) Yeah, I do. It’s fun-ny, because I can’t talk so I pretty much just talk inside my head and just nod or make gestures that they understand. This little girl came up to me one time and said, ‘I love you, Billy.’ I was just like, ‘aww,’ I wanted to say it back, but I couldn’t so I just nodded and gave her a hug (laughs).”

AC: So, at times, you would say not being able to talk puts you back?

BP: “At times, yeah. I really want to interact with people, but the whole point of the mascot is not to say any-thing, but show off the energy that Billy has inside.”

AC: Have you ever had beef with the opposing teams’ mascots?

BP: “(Laughs) not really. It’s not the fact that you get into it with them; it’s just a little friendly compe-tition.”

AC: Is there a best friend mascot and arch enemy mascot of yours?

BP: “Not really; like I said, we all get along.”

AC: So it is a fraternity among mascots?

BP: “I wish there was (laughs).”AC: What does Billy enjoy doing

in his free time?BP: “Billy likes going to con-

cer t s and jus t l ike s to go out around town. Billy would really love to go and just see a movie one night. Billy needs a personal day for himself.”

AC: What is your one message to the fans?

BP: “Billy’s message would be, ‘everybody, let’s have a party in the bleachers, and win this game!’”

AC: If you took over President Per-ry’s job for one day, what would you do?

BP: “Wow. That’s a really, really good question. Well, obviously, Bil-ly would want everything in blue. More spirit all across campus, and more interaction from all the stu-dents.”

Billy the Panther: unmaskedQ & A with Billy the PantherC AT ZONE

By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

Time is running out on the col-legiate soccer careers of the seniors on the Eastern men’s soccer team, including midfielder Jordan Col-lins.

Collins is having the best year of his two-year Eastern career after trans-ferring from Iowa Central Communi-ty College in 2010, having scored two goals this season.

But the Panthers aren’t having the greatest season — with only two wins, sitting in last place in the Summit League.

Even so, Collins is comfortable

with his collegiate career, knowing the friends he made.

“There are a lot of guys on this team I really, really like and really re-spect and sometimes the seasons and wins don’t come down to it,” Collins said.

Collins said he thinks making life-long friendships is more important in the long run than winning games in college.

Some of his closest friends on the team include red-shirt freshman for-ward Garet Christianson, senior goal-keeper Evan Turner, red-shirt sopho-more midfielder Colin Rook and se-nior defender Ian McCausland, he said.

“We come out here every day and do what we can to represent the uni-versity in a positive light and some-times results just don’t go your way,” Collins said.

Soccer i s wel l -known as the world’s most popular sport and the internationality of it, Collins said, lends itself to building great friend-ships.

“If you can play soccer well and get along, you can make a lot of friends through that,” Collins said.

Collins came into Eastern as a transfer student, in a similar situation as the freshmen come into their first years on campus.

He said he’s always going to be a

“new guy” on the team, only hav-ing been on campus for two sea-sons; however, he’s also a senior leader.

“I’m looking for him to make some cont r ibut ions down the stretch,” Eastern head coach Adam Howarth said. “As a senior, he knows there are five games left and everyone is getting closer to playing in the final game of their soccer ca-reer.”

This late in the season, Collins said he is trying to make an impres-sion on the new freshmen. He said he’s trying to help them adjust to college life.

“My role is to just tutor the fresh-

man and help them grow up as play-ers and people,” Collins said. “I’m a big brother.”

Collins has started two games this season, scoring a goal in one of them—agains t Dayton. He scored another goal early this sea-son against Lipscomb, coming off the bench.

Collins said he plans on trying out for semi-pro soccer teams after get-ting his communications degree from Eastern. Then, he said he’d like to get into coaching.

Jeremy Granger said he always dreamed of playing professional basketball, but never imagined it would become a reality.

Now, that dream is a reality. The former Panther, a graduate

of the class of 2011, has signed a pro contract with Selcuk Universitesi Team in the Turkish II Basketball League.

T h e 6 - f e e t , 1 - i n c h t a l l , 170-pound guard said he was grate-ful and blessed to be in the position he is in now.

Granger received a contract from the club after they viewed a high-light reel of him through his agent.

“The team got in contact with me through my agent , Eamon Walsh from Lee Basketball Servic-es,” Granger said. “They saw the highlight tape that our manag-er Brock Lemon made for me and liked what they saw and decided to give me a contract.”

Granger said he has actively been pursuing a pro career since gradua-tion. He said he has been in contact with a few teams, but found one that fit best for him, and was going in the right direction at the same time.

Selcuk Universitesi Team was the top team in the league last season with a 30-8 record before falling in the semifinals of the playoffs.

Granger believes he can help them achieve this year what they were un-able to last year, whether it is his speed, leadership, scoring or defense.

“I think I can bring quickness, leadership and a scoring threat to the team,” he said. “Also, defensively, I can bring a lot to the team by trying to wear down the other team’s point

guard with defensive pressure and playing the passing lanes.”

Granger was an All-Ohio Valley Conference Second Team selection last year. He led the Panthers in scor-ing (15.9 ppg) and assists (3.0 apg).

Granger’s 86.9 career free throw percentage (319 of 367) set an East-ern record, as well as put him in the top five all-time among the OVC.

Granger ranks 16th on the East-ern career scoring list with 1,287 points, and also ranks third on Eastern’s career assists list with 313.

Aside from the distance from his family, the most difficult transi-tion thus far is the language barrier, Granger said. But, there are also perks to being in such a different culture.

“The biggest thing for me is just trying to pick up the language, and not being able to just get on the high-

way one weekend and go home to see (my) family,” Granger said. “Other than that everything has been great. My teammates are really cool, my coaches are very laid back and the food is surprisingly delicious.”

Granger’s family was upset to see him leave but is nevertheless sup-porting him in what he loves to do.

“My family was sad to see me go, but they know I’m going to do what I love, and that’s play basketball, so they’re perfectly fine with that,” Granger said.

Despite the distance from his family and friends and the lan-guage adjustments he has had to make, Granger said he plans make the most of his opportunity and ex-perience things in life that he never even imagined as a kid.

“I feel like I can only go up from

here,” he said. “There are a lot of things I want to do in my life, and you can’t do anything without mon-ey. So I plan on saving my money and doing things that I never thought I would be able to do as a kid.”

Granger’s plans for the rest of his ca-reer are yet to be determined. Granger said he has thoughts of achieving great things in his career and that it can only get better for him.

“As far as my career goes, I feel that depends on the type of numbers I put up this year,” Granger said. “If they’re good, which I plan on them being very good, my career can only get better. I feel like this is the start of something great for me.”

Former Panther signs pro contractMEN’S BASKETBALL

Kevin Flack is one of the few se-niors on Eastern’s men’s golf team this season. Flack has had some ups and downs throughout his collegiate career at Eastern. Though, Flack’s had a lot of great times as a Panther.

“There’s a lot. We just have a good group of guys, so I don’t know if I could pick one (time),” Flack said. “Our trip to Florida would definitely be one of the best memories I’ve had at Eastern.”

As a freshman, Flack competed in six events. He participated in all four of the fall tournaments. One of Flack’s best individual outings was tying for 35th place as an independent player

at the Butler Spring Invitational. Flack had a season scoring average of 77.6 during his first year on campus.

As a sophomore, Flack ended his second season at Eastern with a scor-ing average of 75.3, which was third best on the team overall, individually. Flack only played in four events that season, but had a fifth-place finish at the Tennessee State Big Blue Classic, which was his best outing of the spring season as he finished at even par for the tournament.

As a junior, Flack finished with a 77.5 scoring average, which was a drop off from his sophomore year, but it was still good for fourth best on the team. Flack had three Top 20 finishes that season, including an eighth place finish with a score of 157 (+13) at the

Butler Florida Invitational.This season, Flack has led the Pan-

thers individually in every tournament this fall season.

At the Morehead St. Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-off, Flack finished tied for tenth place with a score of 217 (+1). At the Purdue Midwest Shoot-out, Flack finished tied for 21st place with a score of 155 (+11).

“I’m OK with how I’ve played, but I just really want to win a tournament, so I just go in to every tournament with that expectation,” Flack said.

Along with searching for his first ca-reer win, Flack has focused on provid-ing leadership to the younger players on the team.

“I feel like Tommy (Ponce) and I are the two that try to lead by exam-

ple,” Flack said. “Austin Sproles, Oscar Borda, and Will Drerup are really tal-ented freshman. All the new guys are really talented, but it takes some time to adjust to collegiate golf.”

As a senior, Flack has a lot of deci-sions to make after the spring season. Though, it seems as if he already has his decisions made.

“We will see how the rest of this sea-son turns out,” he said. “David Law-rence just graduated and he went pro, and a few of my buddies have done it as well. That’s something I’d like to do as well. So, next fall I’d like to turn pro as well.”

The hiring of first-year head coach Dino Babers has reenergized the stu-dent fan base, myself included.

Despite the big numbers on the scoreboard, they are a .500 football team heading into their Homecoming matchup with Jacksonville State on Sat-urday; a game I consider to be a must win for the Panthers if they expect to contend for a conference championship in a very even field.

The offense is prolific and the de-fense is improving on a week-to-week basis.

So, what could keep the Panthers from winning an OVC championship in 2012?

Changes, inexperience and road woes.

It’s not to say the current players aren’t performing.

The Panthers have already surpassed the win total in each of the last two sea-sons behind one of the best offenses in the nation as they find themselves in a five-way tie for second place in the OVC.

The Panthers aren’t the same team they are on the road as they are at home.

Playing on the comfort of O’Brien Field, Eastern is undefeated and av-erages more than 50 points per game.

Along with an undefeated home record and averaging more than 50 points per game at O’Brien Field, the Panthers have been ultra-efficient in front of their home crowd.

They have turned the ball over just six times, all via fumble, as Panther Nation has seen exceptional play out of the Panthers.

A slow start is nothing a team can’t overcome, but the consistent trend that the Panthers are forming on the road is something they will have to shake if they want to punch a ticket to the play-offs for the first time since 2009.

A flanker out of Glenbard North High School Stefanie Mahan, now in her final season as a Panther, has ce-mented herself in the Eastern wom-en’s rugby record books.

After a high school career in which she won a state championship with the St. Charles Girls Rugby team, Mahan translated that success into her career with Eastern.

She is third on the all-time tackles list with 181, leaving her 167 behind one of her idols, Stephanie Militello.

“I feel honored,” Mahan said. “I looked up to Stephanie Militello, and she was my dream rugby player,” Ma-han said. “To be ranked next to her

name is just a huge compliment.”Culminating with 88 tackles a year

ago, Mahan’s career featured plenty of highlights. Her choice, however, was the historic game against Quinnipiac in 2011.

“Being able to play in the first NCAA Division-I competition is the reason I came to Eastern,” Mah-an said. “I accomplished what I came here to do.”

The Eastern defender began her fi-nal season with an injury that caused her to miss the first two games of the 2012 season. Mahan was on the re-ceiving end of a collision that left her on the grass during a scrimmage against rugby alumni. She remembers how she felt after it occurred.

“I saw the blood and I freaked

out,” Mahan said. “I was upset that a game that didn’t count would have me miss so much time.”

Eastern lost its first two games of the 2012 season, with Mahan missing both of them.

Trainers slated her to return against Lindenwood, and in her first game back, she helped lead the Panthers to a 43-10 win.

“I was ecstatic to get back on the field,” Mahan said. “I went nine months without full contact, and that is a long time to go when that is your sport.”

Going forward Mahan has dreams of moving up higher on the all-time tackles list, although she already feels accomplished.

Her number one motivator has

changed throughout the years, but she feels like she has made a name for her-self.

“When I first came to Eastern I wanted to do it for myself and my family,” Mahan said. “Then, through last season, I wanted to change the world and be a part of the NCAA movement. This season I am just do-ing it for Lauren Doyle and trying to help her with the Olympic squad.”

Mahan and the rugby team take on Western Kentucky next weekend as she looks to further cement herself as one of the great Eastern defenders in program history.

With limited action seen in the fall season by the men’s and wom-en’s tennis teams, players had to im-press their coach early on and have success.

From the start of fall, head coach of both the men and women’s teams, John Blackburn has preached to his players that competing is most important when the teams set foot on the tennis court.

The women’s team started its sea-son at the SIU-E Fall Invitational. It was there where freshman Ali Foster and senior Kristen Laird were paired up for the first time.

The duo won the No. 2 Doubles Flight, winning their first match 9-7 and then cruising past their last two opponents 8-3 and 8-2.

Foster and Laird remain unde-feated in doubles play this year sporting a 4-0 record.

Sophomore Sephora Boulba-haiem has also been impressive in singles play.

The sophomore had a 2-1 record at the No. 1 Singles Flight in Ed-wardsville and followed that per-formance with wins in singles play against Southern Indiana and in doubles alongside freshman Han-nah Kimbrough.

The highlight of the fall season for the women was their perfor-mance against the Screaming Ea-gles.

On the last day of September, the women invaded Evansville, Ind.

When the sun came down, the Panthers returned home with an 8-1 victory over Southern Indiana.

“We have made progress since the beginning of the season and we have been more competitive,” Blackburn said.

The men’s team started off the season at the Wright State Fall Tour-nament in singles play, sporting a 12-14 record.

In doubles action, they reached the B and C Flight finals that in-cluded a first place finish by the duo of freshman Robert Skolik and se-nior captain Warren Race.

Race and Skolik remain paired together and were also victorious in their only other doubles match against Missouri St. Louis.

Despite there being new fac-es on the team, Blackburn said he has been impressed by the dou-bles teams as they have been play-ing great.

Blackburn said the team con-tinues to work on their individu-al skill set during practice.

“Although we are in a team en-vironment it is important to work on each player’s game since they are all different,” Blackburn said. “We still need to work on decision making and shot selection.”

Race said the freshman have stepped up so far and have learned from the more experienced play-ers.

“The season has seen a lot of progress and it shows promise for the spring,” Race said.

Panthers see hope for spring

By Dominic Renzetti Staff Reporter

The Eastern women's soccer team will host two matches for the Homecoming weekend, taking on Austin Peay on Fri-day and Murray State on Sunday, both matches start at 1 p.m. at Lakeside Field.

The Panthers are coming off a double-overtime win over Southeast Missouri, improving their record to 4-10 overall and 2-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Friday's match against Austin Peay will be Greek Day, with a $200 Buffalo Wild Wings gift card being awarded to the loudest and most spirited fraterni-ty or sorority. Groups must have at least 15 members present to win.

There will also be a pie eating contest against fraternities and sororities between the women's and men's soccer games. The men's soccer game starts at 3:30 p.m., with the Panthers taking on Western Illinois.

Austin Peay enters the match with a record of 6-7 overall and 2-2 in the OVC. Junior forward Tatiana Ariza leads the team with six goals on the sea-son. The Colombia native led the OVC in goals last season, and was named OVC Freshman of the Year in 2010.

The Governors have three other players

each with three goals. They have beaten the Panthers the last two times they have met, both of which were in Clarksville, Tenn.

The Governors are coming off a 3-0 shutout over OVC newcomer Belmont. Ariza had two of the team's three goals.

Murray State comes to Charleston on Sunday with a record of 3-8 over-all and 1-3 in conference. The Racers are currently sitting in last place in the

OVC standings and have lost their last three matches.

The Racers are led by senior defender Veronika Pribyslavska of the Czech Repub-lic. Pribyslavska has six goals on the season. She has taken a team-high 28 shots. Two of her goals were game-winners.

The Panthers have not beaten Mur-ray State since 2007. The Racers won last year by a score of 3-0 in Murray, Ky.

Following this weekend, the Pan-thers have just three matches remain-ing in the regular season before the OVC tournament. The top six finish-ing teams advance to the tournament. Eastern is currently in sixth place in the OVC standings.

No Doubt still rocking same soundNo Doubt’s finally back on the

scene after 11 years of silence and some weird Gwen Stefani solo al-bums. You could say they “pushed and shoved” their way back, if you’re into plays on words.

The album, “Push and Shove,” dropped on Sept. 25 and sounds like the band picked up right where it left off after 2001’s “Rock Steady.”

Rumors had been milling around for the last few years about when, when, when this album would come out, and now that it’s here, it’s safe to say it was worth the wait — much better than the joke of an album Guns n’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” was after a 15-year hiatus.

The band members, all now in their 40s, have stayed true to their original ska-pop sound and have ac-cepted a few current musical norms, too, throwing in a splash of synth-pop here and a drop of dubstep there.

The album’s first single, “Settle Down,” was released in July and acted as a massively poppy tease to the rest of the album. “Get get get get in line and settle down,” singer Gwen Stefani rap-sings, like a quasi-message to the

crazy fans who had been impatiently waiting for years for this release.

That’s how most of the album goes: it has that typical No Doubt flavor of ska mixed with pop and synth-pop mixed with smooth vocals. Its dance songs are interspersed perfectly with slow jams.

It’s also chock-full of potential sin-gles and songs it’s nearly impossible not to dance — or, at the very least, head bop — along with.

The adorably mushy love song, “Gravity,” has Stefani musing, “We're so lucky / Still holding on / Just like Venus in the morning sun / And you and me got gravity.” That’s ei-ther grounds for a sappy tear or a “gag me,” but with Stefani’s golden vocals, it’s a lean toward the former.

They aren’t all about the lovey-dovey songs on this album, though. Sticking true to their wacky sense of lyrical genius, some ridiculous words make their way into the title track (“La, la, la, la vida loca, / We speeding it up like SoCa) and in “Easy” (I'm gonna hit and run / A yummy yum yum). Fans can only shake their heads and chuckle when they come across these oh-so profound lyrics.

But that’s what makes this band so great — No Doubt mixes different styles and, using their magic, makes them work. They have fun and create music that’s fun to listen to. This al-bum is no exception.

As an answer to Stefani’s question in “Looking Hot,” yes, you do look hot, and yes, this hits the spot. Big time.

“Push and Shove” is a refreshing change in popular music that’s dom-inated by Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

One thing’s for sure: Stefani’s voice has been missing on the music scene.

The Campaign is a humorous movie about the crazy side of politics.

The movie stars: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Jason Sudeikis.

Cam Brady (played by Will Ferrell) and Marty Huggins (played by Zach Galifianakis) are two political can-didates running for congressman in North Carolina.

Cam Brady is the most egotisti-cal candidate that is willing to stop at nothing to win the election.

“I will do anything it takes to win, even if that means lying or physical-ly hurting someone says,” Cam Brady.

This movie, while being very sil-ly and whimsical, also shows the dark side to a campaign, and how candi-dates will do anything just to get a vote.

Marty Huggins really believes that he can make a difference in his dis-trict, so he decides to runs for con-gressman.

Marty is a decent guy, but a bit too delusional when it comes to politics and how the games are played.

Marty soon realizes this when he gets the help of Tim Wattley (played by Jason Sudeikis).

Once Marty obtains the help of Tim Wattley many things start chang-ing including himself.

Marty changes who he is as a per-son to try to win a campaign for con-

gressman. This movie is even more relevant

with the upcoming election right around the corner.

It makes the viewer wonder is this how real politicians act?

The Campaign really highlights on the fact that we do not know these politicians.

Who they say they are and who they behind closed doors are two dif-ferent things.

What we do know, however, is that these people are merely trying to be an image of what they think the pub-lic wants, an image of perfection.

With all the constant fake smiles, kissing of babies’ foreheads, and pub-lic appearances, it’s hard to tell what is indeed real and what is fake.

The movie has some great funny parts that will make you laugh, and might even shock you.

Will Ferrell in the movie is great.

The character he plays isn’t a stretch from the characters he usually plays.

But his performance is very believ-able.

Zach Galifianakis is so unrecogniz-able in this movie you’ll have to look very closely just to see if it is him.

The movie has a lot of physical comedy which is always good for a quick laugh.

It is very easy to follow along with and anyone can enjoy it.

The only downside for The Cam-paign is that the storyline is extreme-ly simple.

But it is a comedy and its goal is to make people laugh, and it does just that.

Most of the jokes in the movie are effortless while others are at times stu-pid.

Overall, this movie is pretty good. Don’t let the title of the movie fool

you, you don’t have to be a political junkie to enjoy it.

This movie pokes fun at the politi-cal candidates and how people get so wrapped up in winning they lose al-most everything.

The movie isn’t perfect, but it is a good film that will have you laughing from start to finish.

Darnell Tyms thought that the last place he would be was walking on a stage in front of a crowd of hundreds until he came to Eastern.

Tyms, a junior communica-tion studies major, won the title of Homecoming King and said he wants to encourage students to en-gage in Homecoming Week.

Tyms was automatically nomi-nated last year when he won the Black Student Union’s “Essence of a Man” contest in Fall 2011, and that is the organization he repre-sented during the race for king.

Tyms said winning came across as a surprise because all of the can-didates were qualified to wear the crown.

“All of these men are active on campus, and they know how to ex-press themselves very well,” Tyms said.

The Friday before the week of the competition, Tyms took to Twitter and tweeted at every hour to remind voters about elections for king and queen.

Before the competition, Tyms said he was too busy campaigning to let his nerves get to him.

While the candidates were pre-sented to the crowd of fans, Tyms said he began to replay his college career in his head and questioned if he had done enough to earn the title of king.

“It was like an out of body ex-perience. You begin to ask your-self, ‘Have I done enough? Did they value me enough?’” he said.

Tyms said the roar of the crowd humbled him.

“I felt surrounded by love,” Tyms said.

He said he plans on using his platform to encourage other mi-nority students to participate in organizations on campus.

“The competition has noth-ing to do with race, but I think it helps members in my race remem-ber that your race doesn’t hold you back,” Tyms said. “You can do anything as long as you put your best foot forward.”

Now that he has the crown, Tyms said he wants to encourage other students to participate in all of the homecoming events.

Though Tyms sa id becom-ing Homecoming King is a major stepping-stone in his college ca-reer, he said he plans to do more to remain active on campus and encourage students to engage with university organizations.

After graduating, Tyms said he looks forward to attending grad-uate school at either Purdue Uni-versity or the University of Flori-da.

He said he would love to work with student programs at a univer-sity or pursue a career as an actor.

G r ow i n g u p , Sh e r r y Gunn was a tomboy and never fathomed the idea of entering a beauty pageant.

But Gunn, a senior family and consumer sc iences major and member of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, said everything changed when she competed in the "Miss Black and Gold pageant" in Spring 2011, which she won.

Sh e s a i d t h e c o m p e t i t i o n pushed her to continue partici-pating in beauty pageants.

W h i l e t h e c a n d i d a t e s f o r Homecoming Queen were an-nounced, Gunn said she was wor-ried about tripping when climb-ing up to the stage of the McAfee Gymnasium.

“I kept thinking about that moment in ‘Miss Congeniality,’ you know, when she falls,” Gunn

said. “I repeated to myself, ‘Don’t fall down!’”

When her name was cal led, Gunn said she had to hold back her tears, and that winning was a surprise.

“Most of my life I was a tom-boy, even during my freshman and sophomore years of college,” Gunn said.

Gunn said when she won the crown she thought about the transformation she has made in her life.

Gunn said the crown is a sym-bol of her role as a leader on cam-pus, something she takes seriously.

“People look up to you on this campus when you become queen, and you have to be active both in-side and outside the community,” Gunn said.

Gunn said she waves at students when she walks around on cam-pus and feels this can better a per-

son’s day. Gunn said becoming Home-

coming Queen is a major accom-plishment in her senior year. She said it feels like her college career has come full circle with this win.

“I’ve been successful academi-cally and socially; this was another one of my goals,” Gunn said.

After graduating from Eastern, Gunn plans on attending graduate school at either here or at Illinois State University and wants to be-come a counselor or social worker.

When she got home from the competition, Gunn said her Face-book page blew up with compli-ments and acknowledgements f rom fr iends and fami ly ; she thanked all of them individually.

“I really did appreciate them and the voters,” Gunn said.

A battle of the bands competi-tion has led the band Heavy Denis to be the musical performance at the Homecoming tailgate on Saturday.

Heavy Denis, a six-person band, performed at the Sept. 22 tailgate for the Charleston Parks and Recreation Battle of the Bands.

Jake Edwards, the lead singer, said Heavy Denis was formed about three years ago.

“It is, in a sense, a family band and two good friends,” Edwards said.

The other members are Kaleb Ed-wards, bass; John ‘Jay’ Carson, guitar; Jesse Fustin, guitar; Mike Gingrich, drums; and AJ Howell, trumpet.

Edwards said he did not start play-ing music until he was older. He said his other brothers started before he did.

“My younger brother, he may not know it, but he is the one who in-spired me to play guitar,” Edwards said.

Edwards said music has been in his family for a long time.

“We all just grew up with songwrit-ing parents and grandparents,” Ed-wards said.

Edwards said the band was formed three years ago when Edwards’ broth-er, Kaleb Edwards, asked him to watch him and Carson play to see if they could start a band.

“We wrote a song that day, and it’s just taken off ever since,” Edwards said.

Edwards said music has always been there.

“It’s been there kind of laying dor-maint and then we had a kind of ex-plosion in songwriting and musical creativitiy in general,” Edwards said.

He said they have about 20 to 25 songs that they have written and one cover song, “Freebird” by Lynard Sky-ard.

Edwards said they performed “Freebird” during the first round of the battle of the bands on Sept. 22.

“I think that is the direction we are going in, at least for now,” Edwards said. “We want to have about 50 to 60 percent covers, because you are a little more bookable if you play stuff people know.”

Edwards said they have had some success with their own songs, which are written by four of the members of the band.

“I think that having four song writ-ers has been a strength of ours,” Ed-wards said. “For a band that does orig-inal music, it doesn’t get a lot of same sounding songs, whereas a lot of orig-inal bands you get a set of 10 songs and it’s hard to tell the difference be-tween them, because they might only have one writer or they are stuck in a box of one style of music.”

Edwards said he never wanted to be in a band that plays a certain type

of music. “My philopshy has been, if the

song is good, then we play it,” Ed-wards said. “If a song had heart and it came to us honestly, we try to put it together.”

Edwards said the band is not a main priority for many of the mem-bers, who have regular jobs and fam-ilies.

“Four of us are fathers and on a good month, we see each other twice a month to rehearse or write,” Ed-wards said. “It’s been three years and we only have 20 to 25 songs, which has been pretty productive because we rarely see each other.”

Edwards said they rarely see each other even twice a month.

“I think that what has held us back the most is life in general; (we're) busy life with our families,” Edwards said.

Edwards said they stuggle to juggle their lives and try to find a balance, so they can continue playing music to-gether.

Edwards said they have set their priorities.

“We all have our love of music but family is family,” he said.

Edwards said they are looking for-ward to playing together.

“I don’t think any of us takes for granted that we get to play together,” Edwards said. “I really appreciate get-ting to play with these guys when we can play.”

He said what has held the band to-gether has been a common interest.

“Everyone loves it so we keep it up,” Edwards said.

Edwards said the band plans to bring their families to the Homecom-ing tailgate.

“I know my daughter hasn’t seen the band play, which does stick with kids,” he said.

Edwards said they enjoyed their first performance.

“We were unsure when we saw the stage, it was a tiny stage, and there were six of us,” Edwards said. “It ac-tually worked out great, playing out-side, since there are six of us, it can get noisy if you are in the wrong space.”

Edwards said they were worried about the competition because they have had little time to practice.

“We’ve had a lot of rejection, so we got use to hearing ‘Yeah, you’re good but we picked someone else,’” Ed-wards said. “So finally we feel validat-ed.”

As homecoming prepares to come to the Eastern campus, freshmen may be recalling their last homecoming experience, as seniors in high school.

Students noticed the prepa-rations for homecoming around campus, sparking comparisons between their last homecoming.

Kim Irving, a freshman psy-chology major, said she was ex-cited for homecoming at Eastern, since homecoming in her high school was more formal.

“At my high school it was real-ly just one day, and here it’s more of a week long celebration,” Ir-ving said. “There are concerts in the quads, and it’s more campus based.”

Andrew Pruski, a freshman un-decided major, said he has not-ed the T-shirts being sold around campus, as well as students cam-paigning for homecoming king and queen.

“The biggest thing for home-coming I’ve seen around campus are the shirts being sold,” Pruski said. “I always see somebody with a T-shirt for sale.”

Pruski also said in his high school he saw more decorated hallways and classrooms, howev-er he said he is looking forward to all the events planned.

“All we had in my high school, other than hall decorations, was a pep rally at the end of the week,” he said.

Eastern’s homecoming has a wide variety of events planned for students, including a parade and a football game.

Tom Herff, a freshman history major, said he was also planning on attending the homecoming events, such as “Yell Like Hell.” He said it was mostly because of his involvement in a fraternity.

“I didn’t really do anything in high school for homecoming. I’m doing a lot more activities this year since I’m pledging a fraterni-ty,” Herff said.

Zack Wyman, a freshman spe-cial education major, said he was excited for some of the events be-cause he was in a fraternity.

“If I wasn’t in a fraternity, then I probably wouldn’t be going to

any of the events,” Wyman said. Allison McGinn, a freshman

math major, also said being part of Greek life influenced her deci-sion to participate in more activi-ties for homecoming.

Diedre Pappas, a freshman spe-cial education major, also said she would be participating in events because of her role in a sorority.

“We have options to choose from, l ike intramural teams,” Pappas said.

Some students, though, said they felt there wasn’t enough in-formation leading up to home-coming week.

Darien Ghostone, a freshman sports management major, said all he had heard about homecoming was from students campaigning.

Phil Rizzo, an undecided ma-jor, said he was aware of home-coming happening, but did not have enough information about it.

“I’m not in a fraternity, so I don’t really know too much about the events going on,” Rizzo said.

However, Rizzo said he felt not being in a fraternity would not hinder his homecoming experi-ence.

Ben Lunak, a business major, said he thought his high school’s homecoming was more organized.

“It was more organized because

of the smaller area, being in a high school,” Lunak said.

Lunak also said the football game in high school was a bigger deal to him.

“You could watch your friends play football, and actually root for them, not just a team,” he said.

Some students, including Clay-ton Tittle, a freshman undecid-ed major, said they were planning on getting homework completed early, so they could just enjoy the homecoming celebrations.

“If you don’t get your school work done early, then it’ll all just come up right after homecoming, or so I’ve been told,” Tittle said.

Chelsey Zelinka, a sociology major, said she was excited for homecoming this year.

“Being in a sorority definitely helps keep me involved in home-coming stuff,” Zelinka said.

Zelinka said she believes this homecoming won’t be bet ter than her senior year, and the two events are very separate.

“It’s nice to think about last year’s homecoming with th i s year’s. It was one of our last big things for high school, and this is our first for college.”

Bob Galuski can be reached at 581-2812 or [email protected].

Freshmen compare homecoming experiences

Diedre Pappas, freshman special education major, said she will be participating in her sorority's homecoming activities.

Zack Wyman, freshman special education major, said he is look-ing forward to the homecoming events his fraternity is planning.

Clayton Tittle, freshman unde-cided major, said he plans on getting his homework done early so he can enjoy the homecoming weekend.

Kim Irving, freshman psychology major, said Eastern's homecoming is a longer celebration than her high school's homecoming.

While my days of high school are over, I found a little bit of myself in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

Stephen Chbosky, the director of the film and writer of the book, cap-tures the insecurities that come with adolescence when viewed through the eyes of Charlie (played by Logan Ler-man), a bright young man struggling with a depression and an aversion to people.

Summer has ended, and Charlie can no longer take to hiding in his bedroom.

On his first day of school, he fac-es something that I, and maybe every-body else, have faced at some point in their lives: finding a spot at a table during lunch.

Walking through the cafeteria aisle, he looks around aimlessly, and under Chbosky’s microscope, the insecuri-ties stirring up inside of Charlie rever-berate—creating a climactic scene that compares to an avalance out of such an insignificant moment.

In all his misery during his first day of school, he finds friends in Sam and Patrick, played by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller.

Watson is changing her film ca-reer’s image, as she is shedding her for-mer identity as Hermoine, and Miller steals several scenes with his portrayal of a gay teenager in high school.

Miller’s character is bubbly, confi-dent and seems to be the only mem-ber of the trio who is truly comfort-able in his skin.

His performance is a departure from his role in “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” where he played a sa-distic teenager who takes pleasure in tormenting his family, but especially his mother.

As wonderful as the acting and writing is, some of the lines are enough to make you hurl.

At a scene in a party, Sam says to Charlie, “Welcome to the island of misfits.”

If someone said that to me, I would probably walk away. No, I would leave the party altogether.

But as far as high school clichés in movies go, Chbosky’s writing evades the simple dichotomy of popular kids versus unpopular—no traces of “Mean Girls” here (Sorry, Tina Fey).

Charlie travels around with a pack of misfits, artists and punks, but as in-troverted and different as they are, the pack helps him find the ropes in the jungle that is high school, with sex, al-cohol, drugs and drama.

Through these high-schoolers, Charlie slowly leaves his former self and finds that even with his insecuri-ties and depression, there will always be friends who will love him and ac-cept him.

Guiding him in his freshman year of high school is Mr. Anderson, his English teacher, played by Paul Rudd.

From the sidelines, Mr. Anderson teaches him more and more about growing up; Charlie also wants to be a writer.

Both characters are observing high school life from the outside, the way poets and singers and artists do. And we, as the audience, are fortunate enough to watch this story unfold.

“Reefer Madness” is a musical that is based on a 1936 documen-tary.

It was originally meant to be shown to students and their par-ents to alert them of the dangers of marijuana and how it is single-handedly destroying the youth of America.

It was originally released as “Tell Your Children,” sometimes also titled as “The Burning Ques-tion,” “Dope Addict,” “Doped Youth and Love Madness.”

The movie had melodramat-ic events, like a hit and run, at-tempted rape, suicide and other events that are said to have hap-pened because marijuana was in-volved.

One of the main actors, Char-ity Ozier, plays Mary Lane, the good girl who gets sucked into the marijuana mess.

“She is the typical good-girl- goes-bad,” Ozier said about her character.

Ozier said she enjoys being apart of "Reefer Madness."

“It is very comical and fun. The audience wil l l ike i t and laugh.”

Another actress Savannah Esar-ey plays Sally, titled in the script as "the reefer whore."

“This character is out of the box for me,” Esarey said. “It is not what I am used to but she is a fun character to play.”

Sh e e x p l a i n e d t h a t e v e n

though her character sells her baby for drugs, she likes her.

“Our version of the musical is a bit different than the mov-ie,” said assistant director Marie Field- Jozwiak, about the produc-tion.

They are using what is called the “canon” version, which is also known as the adapted version. Their production of Reefer Mad-ness is a mix of both the origi-nal musical and the more popular version, Jozwiak said.

“We have most of the original songs, but some were replaced with better songs when the musi-cal was redone by SHOWTIME.” Jozwiak said.

She said it is just as melodra-matic as the documentary.

In the musical, Mary Lane, the female protagonist, does not have a brother like in the movie.

Jimmy is now the name of her boyfriend. The roles of the broth-er and the boyfriend have been combined into just the boyfriend.

“Also, in the movie the old man gets run over, but you only hear of his death. In this produc-tion, you not only see him get run over but die as well,” Jozwi-ak said, explaining the differenc-es from the documentary to the musical.

"Reefer Madness" was original-ly financed by a church group un-der the name Tell Your Children.

After the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Es-per.

He re-cut the film for distribu-

tion on the exploration film cir-cuit.

The movie did not gain an au-dience until 1971, and gained a new life as an unintentional com-edy along with its original inten-tion to inform others of mari-juana's negative outcome on the youth.

Because of its melodramatic acting and poor production val-ues, this movie became more of a comedy.

Sean Abley created his own stage adaptation using the title "Reefer Madness" that ran for a year in Chicago in 1992. This film was then spoofed into a mu-sical of the same name, which then in 2005 was made into a made-for-television film.

"Reefer Madness" is considered by various critics to be a cult clas-sic and one of the best examples of a midnight movie. Midnight movies are low-budget genre films shown on television stations for late-night programming.

In the Charleston Alley The-atre, "Reefer Madness the Musi-cal" will be shown Oct. 12,13,15 and 19,20,22.

Ticket prices are $13 each, and audience members must be at least 18 to see the show.

“You should see this musical because you will not see it any-where else,” music producer Tony Cox said.

A s t h e e n d o f h o m e c o m -ing draws near with the foot-ball game on Saturday, fans of all kinds have shared their reasons for attending and enjoying each game.

Alissa Runkle, a sophomore mathematics major, said she is a big fan of Eastern’s football team and has always loved football.

She said she goes to every game that she has been in town for and enjoys dressing up in school col-ors for the game.

Runkle said she had noticed more unity in the team's play this year.

"They play together better; the chemistry is different,” she said. “Last year, they didn't mesh as well."

There are a lso those in the stands that have been dragged to the game by someone else. Brook Sturgeon, a senior political sci-ence major, said he only ever goes to games because of his girl-friend.

Even though he does not house much interest in football, he said he does enjoy the tailgate aspect of it all.

“Tailgating always makes it worth it,” he said.

Many students would like to go to the games more but are too busy like Kyle Vance, a junior ki-nesiology and sports studies ma-jor

He said he is usually busy with work or other organizations he is involved with.

“ I w i sh I cou ld watch the games more, but I do keep up with the team though,” Vance said. “I check the paper whenev-er they play to see how we did.”

He said he thinks kick off is usually scheduled for the per-fect time of day to play football, but not always the perfect time

to take a three-hour break in the middle of a busy schedule.

Jennifer McCann, a senior ath-letic training major, said she likes watching how the fans’ reactions affect the players.

She said she is down on the field for every home game and has traveled with the team as well.

She noticed that players “get more excited for the fans.”

“They always try to get the crowd into it,” she added.

She also said the fan base that attends Eastern’s home games regularly is not as large but just as enthusiastic as other schools.

Angela Napolitano, a junior education major, plays the bass drum in EIU’s marching band.

Angela said getting to watch the football games is a pretty big perk.

Angela also said most students in the marching band love watch-ing the games, whether they were fans of the sport before college or they have grown an appreciation from marching at the games.

“We’re l ike an extension of Panther Nation,” Angela said. “The marching band gets a lot of fun out of cheering on the team every performance.”

Jerone Williams, a senior gen-eral studies major and defensive lineman for the football team, said playing in games is always better with people in the stands.

“Whenever there’s a lot of fans, it energizes us; it makes us fast-er and more amped up,” Williams said.

Williams said this game is “a huge chance to make a statement in the conference.”

It i s a l so a huge chance to prove the team’s improvement to the student body, he added.

At first glance, Z’s Music and Sound System Services may give cus-tomers the same impression as any other local music shop.

But aside from the walls filled with guitars, sound equipment and other music products, Z’s, owned and op-erated for 35 years by Mike Ziebka, plays host to a wide array of signed photographs hung above the counter from the dozens of artists Ziebka has worked for over the years.

“You have got everyone from Brad Paisley, Justin Moore, Trace Adkins…Jake Owen is up there…(and the) Zac Brown Band,” Ziebka said as he mo-tioned to the respective photographs.

“We travel to five or six different states. Basically we provide sound, lighting and staging for national art-ists.”

Ziebka did not initially begin Z’s as a provider for national artists, howev-er, explaining that Z’s was once clos-er to Eastern’s campus than its current location on the corner of Jackson Ave-nue and Sixth Street.

“I came here in 1972 as a student from Schiller Park, and I started work-ing in the store in 1973,” Ziebka said. “It used to be called Tinkley Bell Mu-sic, and it was across the street from Stevenson (Hall), which is where I lived…and then it moved two or three times (before) I finally bought out the store in 1977.”

Ziebka explained he became inter-ested in music when he began playing guitar at a young age.

“I have been playing ever since I

was 5 or 6 years old and played in dif-ferent bands in high school, so it has always been a big part of my life,” Ziebka said.

Ziebka also said he originally start-ed at Tinkley Bell Music teaching gui-tar lessons, but as he became more involved and eventually became the owner of Z’s, he began to work in pro-viding music production for local art-ists.

“Basically in the ‘80s, when heavy metal and harder rock started becom-ing more prevalent in the area and the music scene was going, there were very limited stores or outlets where bands could get PA gear so they could play these clubs, and we just hap-pened to see that as a need,” Ziebka said.

Ziebka said a major local location for his business was a local band bar, and it provided the start for his work with national artists.

“There used to be a band bar that really is where we got our big start called Ted’s Warehouse on North Fifth Street,” Ziebka said.

It was a band bar that was open six nights a week for live music. As music changed, volumes got louder, Ziebka said.

“Bigger equipment was needed, more channels, et cetera, et cetera,” he said. “That was the start of it all, as far as the production end of the store.”

Despite his work for national art-ists around the Midwest, Ziebka has maintained a focus on local business, providing sound-system installation local venues and organizations.

“We do a lot of sound-system in-stallations for churches, schools, foot-

ball fields and soccer fields,” Zieb-ka said. “Churches have been a ma-jor source of revenue for us, and it is a nice environment to work with.”

Ziebka said he was on his third sound system installation with some customers, during that time.

Ziebka and his three crewmembers also provide sound and lighting for lo-cal area festivals and concerts.

“Probably the largest (events) we do around here are Bagelfest in Mat-

toon, Red, White and Blue Days here in Charleston in the summer and the Broom Corn Festival up in Arcola, to name a couple,” he said. “We also do the major productions at Rose-Hul-man University in Terre Haute, Indi-ana.”

For Ziebka, his business philosophy is a large part of his success and lon-gevity in the community, surrounding area and bordering states.

“I treat everyone as special because

that is what we should do,” Ziebka said. “We cater to their needs for that specific day or that show and try to make it as smooth as possible.”

Ziebka also had no regrets about locating his business in Charleston.

“I have no complaints,” Ziebka said. “The town has been good to us.”

William Richardson is not allowed to make a single peep while at his job, even if everything around him is fall-ing apart.

Richardson, a senior theatre arts major, works as the student lighting designer for the productions in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

This year, his first as lighting design-er, he has planned the lighting for sev-eral shows in the Dvorak Concert Hall.

Even with years of experience un-der his belt, Richardson said he feels as anxious as the first time he worked a show.

“Usually, I’m a nervous wreck be-fore the show starts and in the few mo-ments at the start,” Richardson said.

Weeks before the night of a perfor-mance, Richardson said he draws up the way the stage will look once lit and works with directors to stage the image they have in mind.

Before Gaelic Storm performed at Doudna, Richardson said he listened to their music for four weeks to devel-op a light show suited for them.

One of his bosses, David Wolski, a

theatre arts professor who specializes in light design, said making cues for light changes in a show can take up to six weeks.

Richardson works from a booth sta-tioned in the very back of the concert hall, through a keyboard-like instru-ment called a lighting console.

With the press of a button and the swiping of a switch, Richardson brightened and darkened the large hall.

Sometimes he live-mixes and pro-duces a show without a prompt, where he said he is constantly sweating out the possibility of making a mistake.

Richardson first majored in physics when he got to college. He transferred to Eastern from Sewanee: The Univer-sity of the South.

His major required work outside of class to familiarize himself better with his field of study.

Though working with lights in a concert hall and physics seem unrelat-ed, Richardson said he finds himself in need of some form of the science to finish a design.

While spending most of his time working from the background away from the audience’s stares and applause,

Richardson said the show would not go on without lighting.

“You can’t see anything without the lighting, and it is kind of nice to know that you’re in control of everything,” said Richardson while flickering the lights in the concert hall. “Not that I have a God complex or anything like that.”

Painting the stage of a theater with flashes of light highlights the emotions a character is forgoing while captur-ing the intensity of a scene, Richard-son said.

When Gaelic Storm played in the Dvorak Concert Hall, a light that rec-reated the glow of a sunset illuminat-ed the stage.

However, most of the time, effects go unnoticed, but they still manage to flush out the emotions desired in a scene.

“You can get such a reaction from the crowd and they don’t even know it’s you,” Richardson said.

Scenic design and on-stage scen-ery set the play, he explained, but the lighting aspect gives life to it.

Jobs in theatre as an actor can be limited, but Richardson discovered a thriving job market in technical the-

atre that has helped quell his doubts about the future.

“There are several opportunities in carpentry, lighting, designing and engi-neering,” he said.

Richardson said working in Doudna has helped build him into the skilled lighting designer he is today.

Experience, he said, has taught him that patience is necessary when shows fall through the cracks.

Once, when a giant American flag was lowered from the catwalk during a show, half of it stretched down to the audience while the other half remained idle.

“Sometimes things are out of your control, and you just have to learn to deal with it,” Richardson said.
