The only commercial radio station local to Charleston will be closed as ear-ly as midnight on Jan. 1, 2014 after nearly 60 years of operation.
Citing a lack of financial viability, Randy Miller, the owner of The Mill-er Media Group, said that he decided to close the book on the WRJM radio sta-tion, home to Newstalk 1270 AM and 96.1 FM. The group took over opera-tions in 2011.
“After two years, I decided that the station was not financially viable to continue to operate,” said Miller. “It was just a business decision.”
The six hours of agriculture news that was simulcast on WRJM’s AM and FM frequencies will be shifted to the media group’s sister station run out of Clinton, Ill. WRJM also broadcast syn-dicated news reports from CBS Radio News.
The station was not re-sold, but in-stead will be liquidated and sold off as farmland. Miller declined to offer com-ment as to why the station was not sold.
The Miller Media Group’s Kaskaskia Broadcasting obtained the 1270 AM station in fall of 2011 before beginning
its broadcast at the start of February 1, 2012. WRJM’s repeater frequency 96.1 FM will be passed to Bud Walters, the owner of the Cromwell Group of radio stations based out of Mattoon.
The official closing date for the sta-tion is subject to change as the owners
have opted to finish their coverage of the Eastern football team’s 2013-2014 FCS playoff run that could finish as late as Jan. 4.
The Miller Media Group will contin-ue to operate stations out of Taylorville, Pana, Shelbyville and Clinton, shifting
WRJM’s broadcast material to those sis-ter stations.
The station has a lengthy history in the Charleston-Mattoon area.
Founded in 1954 by local resident Jack Owen after he suffered an injury while working for a railroad company, WRJM worked continuously to serve the area for 60 years. Miller declined to comment on the history of the busi-ness.
Eastern and Charleston High School sports found a home on WRJM after Eastern’s WEIU was forced to stop cov-ering the Trojans after the NCAA re-leased a regulation preventing collegiate radio stations from broadcasting prep sports.
Area residents took to social media to express remorse and reflect on their own connection with the last local ra-dio station.

Talent raises money for AIDS awareness
Speaker elected on experience

A new Student Senate speaker was named in the reelection for the position at their meeting Wednesday.
Brandon Goodman, a senior management major, won the reelection against Hannah Ed-wards, a sophomore business major, and Chris Pickard, a freshman political science major, de-spite the criticisms towards his experience.
In a long-winded discussion on experience, many of the senate members went back and forth to how much merit there is too experience.
Reggie Thedford, a junior political science major, said it should not have any effect on the senate member’s vote.
Yazmin Rodriguez, a sophomore sociolo-gy major, disagreed and said Edwards has seen multiple different senates and what worked and what did not.
By the end, the discussion over experience dominated the discussion over who to chose with a roughly 30 minute conversation on the subject.
After an oversight from the Student Senate members, Edwards was originally elected at their last meeting against the bylaws.
Chris Pickard, a freshman political science major and a candidate for the position, found this out reading through the student govern-ment bylaws and noticing a candidate can only be elected with a 51 percent majority of the vote.
Edwards won by majority vote in the previous election against Pickard and Goodman.
Cecilia Brinker, the director of Student Life, said it was a mistake on both the advisers, in-cluding her, and the executive board. She added she expects this will not be a problem.
She said the executive board plans to set up a review of the bylaws related to the election be-fore each election, not only for the Student Sen-ate speaker.

The Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. Univer-sity Union was a glow with red lights shining from the ceiling, along with red rope lights cover-ing the edges of the T-Stage, for the Red Show models to walk on to help raise HIV/AIDS awareness Wednesday.
The EIU Red Show raised more than $300 Wednesday, as students ripped the runway in efforts to spread HIV/AIDS awareness and
prevent the spread of the disease Wednesday at the 6th Annual Red Show.
One hundred percent of the profits from the Red Show went to Greater Community AIDS Project located in Champaign.
Omar Solomon, an admission counselor, hosted the event, open-ing with a powerful statement.
“HIV is not a race issue or an ethnicity issue. It’s not a gender is-sue or an orientation issue. HIV is a humanitarian issue, it affects us all not just one community,” Solo-mon said. “The event is called the
Red Show because red is the color of emergency and HIV is a global emergency.”
The Red Show can be looked at as a variety show where students come together and creatively ex-press their view on HIV and AIDS through their different talents.
There were a total of 10 talents performed throughout the event, which consisted of dancing, spo-ken word, poetry, guitar playing, singing and stepping.
The first act was a dance routine performed by Rhythm and X-ta-cy to a dance mix consisting of
a combination of slow jams and throwback songs from the ‘90s. The group performed in black leg-gings, black dress shirt with a red bowtie.
Keaira Williams, a junior so-ciology major and the president of Rhythm and X-tacy, said they chose their outfits because it was a causual setting and they did not want to do too much.
“We felt the bowties were the spin because it was different and added creativity,” Williams said.

Ending the 23rd continuous sea-son, the Charleston Alley Theatre will cap off this season with “Mira-cle on 34th Street.”
Duke Bagger, the studio direc-tor for the Charleston Alley The-atre, said, “Miracle on 34th Street” asks the question, “Is there a San-ta Claus?”
“The store, Macy’s, hire a gentle-man to play their Santa Claus and he insists he is Santa Claus. Then it goes all the way to court and they’re trying to commit him for being in-sane. Turns out he is insane,” Bag-ger said, chuckling.
Charleston’s “Miracle on 34th Street” will differ from that of the films and other productions because it is produced as a radio spot.
Bagger said this is the second time the theater has produced a play as a radio format, particularly a mock ra-dio format.
“We have people who buy space in our program, so we do radio spots for them in our show,” Bagger said. “And of course it’s all 1940s vernacu-lar – all ‘golly’, ‘swell’, and ‘jeepers.’”
The overall meaning of the play is just this one fellow winds up bringing harmony between two major New York department stores and made the season one of happiness, Bagger added.
The cast for this play contains 12 members.
“The ages range from I guess my age, old, to 6,” Bagger said.
Curtains open for the play at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Charleston Al-ley Theatre. The theater is located
just off the square on Monroe Ave.Admission for adults is $8 and
children under 12 are free. Bagger said the actors and ac-
tresses are all volunteers. “Anyone is welcomed for word
calls; it’s not necessarily for every-body who wants to be on stage. Some people enjoy the construction of it.
Eastern students, faculty and staff are welcomed anytime,” Bagger said.
Bagger said “Miracle on 34th Street” would also be part of Christ-mas in the Heart of Charleston.
“So Saturday after you go up there and have Christmas in the Heart of Charleston and you sit on Santa’s lap, just come right off the
square after you’ve had your roast chestnuts and enjoy the show,” Bag-ger said.

Theater brings classic story to life
By dalton Lind & denise JimenezStaff Reporters |@DEn_news
An open dialogue will address the issues of racism, sexism, homophobia and other prejudices.
Charleston community members and Eastern community members will have the chance to hold a shared discussion in a respectful way.
The discussion will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday in the University Ball-room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Students from CMN 3903: Com-munication, Gender and the Body and CMN 3220: Communication, Race and Ethnicity are collectively organizing the event.
Students will screen the documen-tary, “Journey to a Hate-Free Millen-nium,” give personal narratives and recite poems. There will also be a pe-tition to promote the creation of a
hate speech policy on campus. Chris Smith, a senior communica-
tion studies major, said the event will educate people, “including students and community members, to come together and relinquish any type of notion of hatred towards one anoth-er, to build diversity in the commu-nity and to keep the trend going—not just for the event tomorrow, but into the future as well.”
He said all opinions will be wel-come, and everyone will be able to express them selves without feeling that others are targeting them.
Smith also said the environment may get emotional.
“After I got done watching the film, it definitely changed my life,” Smith said. “It opened my eyes to a lot of things that we don’t think is going on and we don’t want to go on. But sad-ly, it does go on and for us to move to-wards a more diverse world, we need to talk about it with open arms.”
Linda Scholz, a communication studies professor, said some goals of the event are to “generate proactive strategies that would help people to address these issues, and then possibly report them. And then also, ask our campus community to support some kind of hate speech policy on cam-pus.”
Journey to Hate-Free Communi-ties was created as a final project for Scholz’s CMN 3903 and CMN 3220 classes. The theme of the project was shaped by the discussions of power, hate, and hegemony in class.
Antonio Taylor, a senior commu-nication studies major, said he hopes this event will create more dialogue between Eastern and the Charleston community.
“As a class, we’ve been about the different types of stereotypes, discrim-ination, and from the beginning of the class until the end of the semes-ter our class started to open up and
talk about personal experiences, and it’s kind of built a family atmosphere to where we are chimed in together: ‘What can we do to make a differ-ence and become allies and invite the community in so the community of Charleston and the EIU community become one?’” Taylor said.
Jenny Greenberg, a junior Eng-lish major, said some of the problems have been happening in the commu-nity for a while, and need to be ad-dressed.
“Personally, I’ve been involved since spring semester last year and we need change; we need something to happen; we need dialog where peo-ple can talk about things and we can work them out instead of being an-gry with each other; we thought this would be a good way.”

The 27th Annual Holiday Art Sale will be open to local artists to display their original handcrafted artwork.
The art sale will be at 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fri-day and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sat-urday in Room 1910 of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
All purchases that are made at this event will benefit to the De-partment of Art’s Scholarship Fund.
Sue Rardin, the office adminis-trator for the Art Department, said items being purchased range from jewelry, ceramics, fused glass, draw-ings, paintings, ornaments, scarves, hats, purses, quilts and pillows.
“We try every year to get new art-
ists so this list changes from year to year,” she said.
Rardin said the sale gives students experience with deadlines, quality and display of work.
“It encourages them to continue their work when they see that peo-ple are interested in purchasing the work that they produce,” Rardin said.
Rardin said generally the sale sees about 100 to 150 people each year.
“I can’t give a dollar amount, but the sale monetarily helps approxi-mately 20 to 25 students each year,” she said.
Originally, the sale took place at the Tarble Arts Center; however, it moved to the Doudna within the past three years.
She said the sale takes its roots in trying to help students with their fi-
nancial needs. “It was such a success from the
beginning that we have continued the tradition for 27 years,” Rardin said.
Rardin said she enjoys seeing the wide-variety of people who attend the sale each year, as it changes from year to year.
“Some are friends that I haven’t seen for awhile and others are peo-ple I have never met before but hope to see again next year,” she said. “Watching how excited peo-ple get when they find that per-fect Christmas gift or something for themselves that they aren’t able to find at the department stores.”

Understand that surveying is not voting
Emily Provance
Everyone has been involved in a group project at one point in time. I think what we have all come to realize is they are the worst.
Generally, I have come to see that there are always going to be at least three specific types of people that form a group, and you are really lucky if you don’t have this prob-lem. The three types I have come across are the leader, the slacker and the ‘I am just not going to do anything but still expect a fair grade’ person.
The first person is the person that every person of the group who actually does their work wants to strangle. This person takes the part that requires the least amount of work and then they just don’t do it. They then don’t tell you until right before it’s due that they didn’t do it. These people are annoying and make me wonder how they got this far in life in the first place.
Then there is the slacker. This person is a bit more cooperative then the one that doesn’t do anything, but equally as annoy-ing. This person takes whatever part you give them and they do it, but they either don’t do it correctly or it’s obvious they
didn’t bother to get the good information needed, so they did the bare minimum.
The leader is the person that generally is appointed by the group or takes it upon him or her to be the organizer. Since they are the organizers and all other group mem-bers send their work to the leader, the lead-er is the one who end up doing most of the work in the group. That’s either from put-ting it all together or having to redo parts of others work.
If you are lucky enough to get a group of leaders, you usually end up coming out with an epic project, but you can always tell what group has what kind of people in them based on how their projects turn out.
I have been in the groups with a mix-ture of all three types of people. I have been lucky enough to be in a group who had all leaders and unfortunately have been in a group where I had to carry the slack of oth-ers in the group.
What else stinks about group projects is how they are graded. I hate it when teach-ers give everyone the same grade. It isn’t fair. Especially since some do more and better work then others. I prefer the projects that get individual grades.
Now that the ranting is done, I feel like I have spoke for a majority of students. So many people would have written this col-umn if they had thought of it.
We all have different feelings about group projects and I don’t hate them when every-one does their fair share, but we will have to work in groups for our entire lives so get used to it. You won’t always like it but you have to deal with it.

Over the Thanksgiving break, the Universi-ty Board sent out an email talking about next semester’s spring concert. Last spring we had Phillip Phillips, which, like most music, was met with high praise from some students and harsh criticism from others. But still, last year we had somebody, which is infinitely better than what we had the year before, which was nobody.
This year’s survey has a lot of big up and com-ing names spanning various different genres from pop to rock to hip-hop to electronic to country. Students were asked to list off some of the recent concerts that had been to in the past year, order the artists on the survey from favorite to least favorite, as well as specify how much they’d be willing to pay.
What students need to understand is that the survey is just that, a survey. Not a vote. If Chance the Rapper or Icona Pop get the most votes from the list, it does not guarantee that those acts will be in Charleston this spring. All that those votes mean is that these are the type of artists that East-ern students would be most willing to see or pay for next semester. If Motion City Soundtrack or All-American Rejects get the most votes, they might not be here. If those artists are on tour or if their asking price is too steep for Eastern, we might not get them, but we’d likely get someone in that picture of music. We’re not saying they’re not coming, but what we are saying is that we don’t want you to be too upset when they don’t. There’s a chance that nobody on that list could be here next semester and that’s just the way things work sometimes.
So, the best way for you to ensure yourself a terrific spring concert next semester is to voice your opinions. Take the survey if you haven’t already, send some emails, tweet, do whatever you need to do. Just don’t be apathetic now and then cry later when your favorite artist isn’t on the bill.
So again, the spring concert survey is a survey and nothing more than that. It’s used to gauge interest and see how much students would be willing to pay and whom they would be willing to see. Remember, you’re not voting, you’re sur-veying.
George Washington was President of the United States from April 30, 1789 to March 4 1797.
Washington’s decision to not run for a third term was not well received because of Wash-ington’s extreme popularity. From that time forward the precedent was set that presidents would only serve two terms.
Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to challenge this precedent in 1912. Although he lost the election, his decision to run had a massive affect on the political spectrum that year, splitting the Republican vote and allow-ing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to become President.
Teddy Roosevelt’s fifth cousin Franklin Del-ano Roosevelt was the first and only president to date to successfully run for and be elected a third term. He was actually elected a fourth term as well. After his death in 1945, the 22nd Amendment was passed, limiting a president to only two terms, consecutive or not.
In recent weeks this decision has been called into question. Is it really in the best interest of the people of the United States to limit some-one that the people decide is a great leader to only eight years? Many have voiced the opinion that if it were possible to put President Clinton back in office they would vote to do so.
At the same time a majority of the popu-lation is overwhelmingly displeased with the United States Congress because Senators and House of Representatives have no term limits. Should we allow the president to follow Con-gress’s lead? Should we impose term limits on all government leaders?
In consideration we can look to history to see how one presidency without term lim-its shaped the country. Had term limits been enforced during FDR’s time, the nation would have been forced to decide on a new leader in 1941, right as WWII was beginning. Would that have been wise? FDR had already prov-en himself as a very popular president through his handling of the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression. After these accomplish-ments the people of the United States had faith that their president of eight years could
and should lead Americans into WWII. To this day, FDR is arguably one of the
nations most popular presidents. The idea of taking away presidential term limits has been explored in popular culture in a number of texts, one being in the landmark graphic novel “The Watchmen.” In this story, President Rich-ard M. Nixon was able to win the Vietnam War through the use of government contracted super-heroes. Riding a wave of incredible pop-ularity from the Vietnam win, Nixon was able to be elected to a fifth term.
Acknowledging that this is of course fiction, it begs the question of where we would be if a president were able to manipulate his image without term limits.
Even if he were loved as a popular presi-dent where would the United States be if Pres-ident Nixon had held office from 1968-1985? In a better place? In a worse place? In a bliss-fully ignorant utopia? Is that where we are any-way? How much impact does the President of the United States really have on our day-to-day life? These are all things to consider as the 2016 election approaches.

Staff Report
The Residence Hall Association members will be voting on their newly redesigned budget at the meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday in Tay-lor Hall.
RHA treasurer Jordan Hender-son proposed the budget at their last meeting. Changes to the budget include removing community de-velopment from the budget because the money towards it only focused on ROCFest, so Henderson reallo-cated the $250 from it and put it straight toward ROCFest.
The spring retreat was also re-moved because the RHA has not planned one in several years. Hen-derson used the money for the re-treat and put it toward the RHA Homecoming item, which is a new additional item the budget.
Henderson also moved $1,500 for the Frederick Winters show they plan and host. Winters is a hypno-tist who performed at Eastern’s first
weekend. So far, Winters has per-formed each year for 11 years at Eastern.
Theses changes would not save or waste money, but would just re-allocate money towards things they plan to focus on.
The RHA executive board also plans to announce their work on re-vising their constitution.
Various changes are being made to the constitution, including not allowing the RHA executive board to be a part of the different resi-dence halls’ hall councils.
RHA President Miguel Williams said being on both might provoke biased towards their specific hall.
They also plan on clarifying in the constitution when and where bids for elections are due.
Bids are brief biographies about the nominee in an election usual-ly containing what they plan to do if elected. Williams said they are just working on the wording at this point.
RHA to plan budget
By Jack CruikshankStaff Reporter | @DEn_news
After failing to achieve a quorum at its last meeting, the Council of Ac-ademic Affairs will vote on changing the Africana Studies Program from a Bachelor of Science to a Bachelor of Arts.
The CAA will meet at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. Univer-sity Union.
The vote is carried over from the Nov. 14 meeting on a request from James Ochwa-Echel, director of the Africana Studies program, to alter the degree from the Africana Studies Pro-gram from a Bachelor of Science to a Bachelor of Arts.
According to the program revision application, “[Africana Studies] has been considered a B.S. degree because when the program was established at Eastern 40 years ago it was under the department of sociology, which is un-der the College of Sciences.”
The current degree awarded to stu-dents of Africana Studies is not consis-tent with the majority of comparable programs, and this change will bring the program at Eastern into alignment with other programs around the coun-try.
As well as the request from the Af-ricana Studies Program, the College of Arts and Humanities is requesting the revision of three courses within the English Department.
All three of the proposed course re-visions center around adding an online section of courses already offered face-to-face. The three courses are ENG
2009G: Literature and Human Val-ues; ENG 3001: Advanced Composi-tion; and ENG 3010G: Literary Mas-terworks.
According to the course proposals, the three courses would be offered on demand, with the first offerings hap-pening spring 2014.
As well as the items to be act-ed upon, six items will require exec-utive action through the CAA. Three are from Harold Ornes, the dean of the College of Sciences, and three are from Diane Jackman, the dean of the College of Education and Profession-al Studies.
For the requests within the College of Sciences, one is to add BIO 4842: Wildlife Ecology and Management to the Biological Sciences: Environmental Biology Option major.
The next is to revise GEG 3800: In-troduction to Cartography from a (1-4-3) credit tier to a (2-2-3).
The final request is to create three distinct lettered versions of PLS 3863: Special Topics in Political Science.
The requests from Jackman revolve around updating the course catalog to modernize it per classes currently of-fered.
As well as the items to be acted upon and executive action items, the CAA will add four items to the agen-da of a future meeting. Those items include requests from the School of Family and Consumer Sciences, the English Department, and the Depart-ment of Sociology and Anthropology.

Edwards said she believed Pickard would have won the election if it was done properly in the first place.
In this election, Goodman and Pickard went head-to-head in a run-off election and then the winner, Goodman, would go against Ed-wards.
“Originally, it was just Chris and I who were going to run because you were suppose to let the Student Body President know ahead of time and Brandon just came out of no-where and wasn’t really prepared. This time he had the advantage of a second chance and he was very prepared,”
Edwards said. “If it would’ve been done correctly the first time, I think that Brandon’s votes would’ve gone to Chris.”
Goodman said he believed he still would have won because the way it was done the first time swayed the vote.
“We saw how when it was two peo-ple it kind of leveled it out,” Good-man said.
Goodman ran on a platform to ed-ucate the senate members more on their roles in senate as well as to re-vitalize such programs as the senator mentor program, which was one of
the many buried or forgotten bylaws recently discovered.
In this program, each chairman or chairwoman was assigned two sen-ators to mentor and guide to better know their position.
He also said he plans to review and maybe redefine the committee de-scriptions in order to make senate more structured.

Williams said it is important to be safe in intimate situations.
“When there’s a possibility to be safe, take it seriously,” Williams said. “Do not let life pass you by for a moment’s interest.”
The African Student Association (ASA) also performed a dance rou-tine.
Faythe Missick, founder of the ASA Dancers, said AIDS is an issue that is very common in Africa
“Africa is one of the main conti-nents that AIDS is destroying; our
dance was an expression of celebra-tion for those in Africa who are put-ting up a fight against AIDS.”
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority did a poem inspired by Tyler Per-ry’s “Colored Girls.” The message of the poem was for young women on campus to understand their self-worth.
The show concluded with a mini-step show from the new ini-tiates of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Z.S.S.F.I.N.E.S.S.E.
Laia Hill, a junior psychology major, said knowledge about a sexu-
al partner is important.“What inspired us to do this step
is the fact that many college stu-dents are sexually active without knowing the status of their partner,” Hill said.
Both organizations Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority wanted to share with the campus “Stay safe, wrap it up, and know your status!”

THURSDAY DEC. 5, 2013 THE DAilY EASTERn nEwS | SPORTS 7
By Dan HildebrandtStaff Reporter | @DEn_Sports
The United States Senior Nation-als begin Friday for Eastern swimmer Colin McGill and end on Sunday. He will be the only swimmer competing for the Panthers.
While the rest of the team will not compete this weekend, McGill will be competing in the 100-yard backstroke on Friday and also in a 100-yard free-style time-trial on Saturday. Depend-ing on his performance for the first few days, he may or may not advance
to the finals on Sunday.Eastern coach Elliot McGill has
been preparing his senior swimmer for this meet. Elliott has been im-pressed with Colin’s effort in prac-tice and hopes that his hard work will translate to success at nationals.
“For right now, we are focused on putting up the fastest time we can without resting too much,” Elliott said. “Colin has been performing well in practice, so hopefully he puts up a good time.”
Colin will be up against some tough competition in this meet. If he
can compete with this group of swim-mers, it will be a great testament to his effort and skill, Elliott said.
“Colin is seeded 46th right now,” he said. “Top 24 make it back to fi-nals. Considering how many Olym-pians, both U.S. and internation-al, and national team members are at the meet that would be a great accom-plishment.”
Among the field of swimmers Mc-Gill will be competing against in the 100-yard backstroke is Olympian Matt Grevers, who McGill has stated in the past is one of the swimmers he
has a lot of respect for. Grevers won three medals at the 2012 London Olympic Games: two golds and one silver.
To compare the two swimmers, McGill’s seed time is at 49.91 while the Olympian Grevers is seeded first overall in the field with a time of 44.55.
The senior swimmer will be com-peting on less than his normal amount of rest, but that may not be a bad thing for him and the rest of the Panther squad.
“Colin is doing about 80 percent
of the normal rest he gets for a big meet,” Elliott said. “We don’t want to rest too much, as the goals for con-ference are still important to him and the team.”
Senior Nationals will be taking place in Knoxville, Tenn., this week-end with preliminary swims on Fri-day and Saturday. The meet will then wrap up with the finals on Sunday.

McGill prepared for Senior Nationals
By Aldo SotoAssistant Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21
Before the 2013 season began for the Eastern football team, coach Dino Babers said the Panthers would be even faster than they were in 2012, when he led them to a 6-1 Ohio Valley Conference record and title.
Entering their senior seasons, both leaders on the offense, quar-terback Jimmy Garoppolo and wide receiver Erik Lora, said the team was focused on accomplishing two things - winning the OVC champi-onship for the second straight year and putting themselves in the best position to win a national champi-onship.
Tha t wa s i n June and two months later, Babers, Garoppo-lo and Lora along with the rest of the Eastern team began its journey to where they want to go — Frisco, Texas, the sight of the FCS national championship game.
Getting off to a quick startEastern began its season with two
road games, the first coming against San Diego State on Aug. 31. The week leading up to the game there were questions on the possible com-binations of defensive backs that would be facing the Eastern offense. And on the other side Babers was very aware of the big defensive line that the Aztecs would trot out on to the field.
But the Eastern offensive line was up to the task, as it allowed no sacks and managed to create gaps for run-ning back Taylor Duncan to run through as he rushed for 94 yards, scoring two touchdowns through the ground.
It was also in San Diego, where two players also showed that Lora would not be the only playmaker on offense.
Red-shirt sophomore Shepard Little rushed for 67 yards on 10 car-ries, but he also gave Eastern a 33-19 lead in the start of the fourth quarter after he returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown. It would not be his in 2013.
Another sophomore Keiondre Gober also scored a 62-yard touch-down. Yet, that would not be his longest of the season.
And as far as Garoppolo and Lora go, the quarterback threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns, while Lora began his season with 10 catches and two touchdowns, help-ing Eastern win 40-19, earning its fifth win against an FBS team in program history.
Then it was off to Carbondale to play against Southern Illinois. This in-state rivalry would prove to be the closest game Eastern would play all season.
After entering halftime with a 21-17, Eastern’s offense failed to score in the third quarter, while the Salu-kis made two field goals to take a 23-21 lead entering the fourth quarter.
After trading scores in the fourth quarter, Eastern had the ball with about two minutes left and tied at 30. Garoppolo drove the Panthers down the field and eventually set up Cameron Berra for a 20-yard field goal attempt. The kick was blocked and the game went to over-time, where Berra would again have a chance to be the hero.
Thomas Kinney missed a 37-yard field goal attempt in the sec-ond overtime period, which left Eastern with the chance to win with any score on its possession. Berra redeemed himself by making a 36-yard field goal, giving the Panthers a 40-37 win.
Eastern loses to HuskiesAfter a 3-0 start to the season, the
Panthers traveled to DeKalb on Sept. 21 to play Northern Illinois. East-ern shocked the Huskies in the first quarter, scoring three touchdowns in the first seven minutes of the game, which included two touchdowns within 10 seconds of each other.
But Eastern’s offense was shut down in the second quarter and Northern running back Cameron Stingly scored two touchdowns that put the Huskies up 23-20 heading into halftime.
Garoppolo was able to bring the Panthers back and gave Eastern a 39-33 lead with 9:53 left in the fourth quarter.
The game-winning drive followed on the Huskies’ next possession, when
Keith Harris scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown with 8:25 left to play, giving Northern a 43-39 win.
Northern quarterback Jordan Lynch rushed for a game-high 189 yards and as a team the Huskies ran for 367 yards, which was the most al-lowed by Eastern this year.
Second straight OVC titleEastern began its conference sched-
ule at home against Eastern Ken-tucky on Sept. 28. The Panthers’ of-fense took advantage of a big first half and cruised to a 42-7 win after lead-ing 35-0 at halftime.
Fast starts and big leads were a norm for Eastern against OVC teams, as the Panthers went to halftime with an average lead of 28.4 points in their eight conference games.
The Panthers finished with a per-fect 8-0 record, winning its second consecutive OVC title and second straight playoff berth.
At 11-1, Eastern earned the No. 2 overall seed in the FCS playoffs, where the Panthers will have home field advantage throughout the post-season until the championship game.

Dominic BAimA | THe DAily eASTern ne wS Fallyn Schwake, a freshman freestyle swimmer, comes up for a breath of air during a swim meet Nov. 9 in Lantz. Shwake said she chose to come to Eastern because of the team’s atmosphere and high GPAs.
Three minutes into the second half, Smith dove out of bounds for the bas-ketball and hit his head on the side bleachers.
The bleachers, which sit two feet above the floor, are rolled out at West-ern Hall, Spoonhour said, which is how Smith hit his head.
“He’s sitting there with a towel over his head,” Spoonhour said. “He’s got a bad headache. We’ll see how it goes. We definitely need him to be feeling all right.”

Oroszova’s big night leads to win
AmAnDA wILkInson | THE DAsILY EAsTErn nE ws Sabina Oroszova, a junior forward, shoots free throws against Western Illinois on Nov. 25 in Lantz Arena.
By Bob reynoldsStaff Reporter | @BobReynoldsDEN
Sabina Oroszova tied two school records for most points in a game and most field goals made in a game in Eastern’s 71-67 win over Bradley at Renaissance Center in Peoria on Wednesday night.
Oroszova, who scored 38 points and shot 16-of-29 from the field, including 2-of-3 from the 3-point range, in 39 minutes, which is her highest total this season.
“That is the kind of player we have in Sabi,” Eastern coach Deb-bie Black said in her post game ra-dio interview. “She has become dis-ciplined like she was tonight. She really makes us go.”
Eastern went on an 8-3 run to start the second half, giving the Panthers a five-point lead, which was their biggest lead since the first half.
Oroszova provided the Panthers offense in the second half, scoring 22 of her 38 points in the final 20 minutes of play. She was 9-of-14 from the field in the half and 4-of-5 from the free throw line, including making the final two free throws to ice the game for the Panthers.
Eastern led for most of the sec-ond half.
The Panthers started the game on a 23-9 run, and ultimately led by 16 at one point. Black said Eastern needed to get off to a quick start af-ter losing two games in a row.
“We are coming off two really bad losses on the road,” Black said. “We were trying to get after them early and we made shots.”
After Eastern had its biggest mar-gin of the night at 16 points with about 13:30 left in the first half, the Braves went on a 17-2 run in about six minutes to cut the Panther lead
down to one.Bradley took the lead at 30-29
on a lay-up by Kelly Frings with six minutes left in the first half.
Oroszova was one of two play-ers in double-figures for the Pan-thers. Katlyn Payne was the other, scoring 15 points on 5-of-10 shoot-ing from 3-point range. Payne said Bradley did everything they could do to deny her the ball.
“Everywhere on the floor, they would not let me touch the ball without having a girl on top of me,” she said. “My team found me on skips, and I had to get the fastest threes off of my life.”
The game plan was not to give Oroszova the ball at first Payne said, but it changed when Bradley’s de-fense switched to a box-and-one on her, which left Oroszova wide open.
Oroszova said Bradley was trying different types of defenses to stop the Panthers’ offensive sets.
“We were doing a good job ad-justing to everything they were throwing at us,” she said. “My teammates did a great job finding me and getting me the ball at the right time. We did a great job with moving the ball around and we col-lected 21 assists as a team tonight.”
This was the first win on the road for Eastern, which is now 3-5 on the season. Oroszova said fight-ing for 40 minutes and not giving up on themselves should be the way Eastern plays every game.
“We started off energetic and got a big lead, but we got a little flat and fell apart for a couple minutes,” she said. “We managed to stay to-gether and played our basketball, which lead us to a great win.”

Men’s basketball team scores 32 in loss to WesternBy Anthony CatezoneSports Editor | @AnthonyCatz
The Eastern men’s basketball team has had very few nights that were less fortunate than it 60-32 loss to West-ern Illinois Wednesday night.
The Panthers’ 32 points scored its lowest in program history since enter-ing the Division I era. The previous low was 35 points.
“Boy, you sure don’t want to look the way we looked tonight, but we sure did,” Eastern coach Jay Spoon-
hour said in his postgame interview, as his Panthers fell to 3-5.
Eastern was outscored 37-17 in the first half, as the Leathernecks used a 25-9 run over the first 14 minutes of the game.
Eastern suffered a 7:31 scoring drought after forward Mat Piotrows-ki made a basket with 11:50 in the first half to make it a 12-7 Leather-neck lead.
It was not until 4:19 left in the first half that guard Alex Austin had a breakaway dunk after stealing the ball
to end the scoreless drought to cut it to a 25-11 game.
“They get to feeling bad, like, ‘oh, we’re never going to score,” Spoon-hour said. “A lot of it is trying to go and make a good play, but its plays you don’t have the ability to make.”
The Panthers shot a season-worst 24 percent from the field, while for-ward Josh Piper’s five points was a team-high on 2-of-4 shooting. Four other players added four points apiece.
“I really thought we were going to
play well,” Spoonhour said. “I really did. We had two really good practic-es. And the, man, wow.”
The Panthers were able to tie the game after the Leathernecks opened on a 5-0 run. After the 5-5 tie, East-ern would shoot 5-of-23 for the re-mainder of the half.
Eastern also shot 5-of-23 from the field in the entire second half.
The Leathernecks outscored the Panthers in points in the paint 36-12 and second chance points 18-4, while shooting 44 percent from the field
and 4-of-8 from 3-point range.“It’s one of these you want to for-
get, but I’m telling you, we can’t for-get this,” Spoonhour said. “That was what I was telling them (in the locker room). We don’t score very much; we have to be a whole lot tougher than we are.”
Eastern guard Reggie Smith, the Panthers’ leading scorer, played just 18 minutes, as he left the game with a head injury early in the second half.

Towson (10-2) – No. 7 seed
Key wins: 8/29 at Connecticut (33-18)
Key losses: 10/12 Villanova (45-35), 11/2 Delaware (32-31)
Strengths: Terrence West, one of three finalists for the Walter Payton Award, is as good as they come at the running back position. He leads the nation in both rushing yards per game (156.3) and rushing touch-downs (30).
Since Eastern has had issues de-fending the run at times this season, West and the Tigers are bound to cause some fits for the Panther de-fense. Towson’s 247.4 rushing yards per game is good enough for ninth in the country behind a veteran of-fensive line with four seniors. The Tigers scoring offense of 38 points
per game.Towson’s run defense is equally as
strong. It has allowed opponents to rush for 113.5 yards, 14th in the na-tion.
The Tigers are also averaging three sacks per game (11th in the nation) behind defensive end Ryan Delaire’s 8.5 sacks per game.
The Tigers’ opponents have scored 21.2 points per game against them this season.
Weaknesses: An already average passing game became weaker when Spencer Wilkins, the Tigers lead-
ing wide receiver with 76.8 yards per game and four touchdowns, sea-son came to a close, missing the final four games, because of injury.
Quarterback Peter Athens is aver-aging 219.5 passing yards per game with 14 touchdowns and 12 inter-ceptions.
The Tigers’ pass defense remains less than stellar, as well. Giving up 221 passing yards per game for 64th in the FCS, a quarterback like East-ern’s Jimmy Garoppolo could easi-ly put the Tigers away early in the game.
Fordham (11-1)
Key wins: 9/7 Villanova (27-24), 9/14 at Temple (30-29)
Key losses: 11/16 at Lafayette (27-14)
Strengths: It starts with quarter-back Michael Nebrich, who fin-ished fifth in the Walter Payton Award voting.
He has led the Rams to their first appearance since 2007. Ne-brich reinjured his knee this sea-son, causing him to miss the Rams only loss, two weeks before the regular season finale.
He is fourth in the nation with 332.2 passing yards per game, while his 31 touchdowns rank sev-enth.
Wide receiver Sam Ajala is Ne-brich’s favorite target, and for
good reason.Ajala is first nationally in receiv-
ing yards (1,526) with 12 touch-downs and 85 receptions and set a school single-game record this year with 282 yards receiving in a 53-32 victory over Yale.
The duo of Nebrich and Ajala lead Fordham to 36.8 points per game.
Weaknesses: It is necessary that the Rams’ offense is as strong as it is because its defense has strug-gled this season, especially against the run.
Fordham’s opponents have av-eraged 200.5 yards on the ground, which is 93rd in the country.
While its pass defense picks up some slack, Fordham still surren-ders 395.1 yards of total offense for 73rd overall.
The Rams have two defensive backs in Jordan Chapman and Le-von Williams who lead the team with four interceptions apiece.
But, in its last two games be-fore Colgate, the Rams committed 10 turnovers Fordham is giving up 23.7 points per game.
Jacksonville State (9-3)
Key wins: 11/9 Eastern Kentucky (68-10)
Key losses: 9/28 Murray State (35-34 OT), 11/16 at Eastern Illi-nois (52-14)
Strengths: The Gamecocks will need to ride their passing offense if they want to advance in this tournament. With a field that is loaded with prolific passers, Jack-sonville State’s 183.4 yards per game pass defense (18th in the na-tion) is its only hope for success.
The secondary has done a stellar job this season, led by safety Pierre Warren and cornerbacks Jermaine Hough and Rashod Byers, who are all able to blanket receivers.
Jacksonville State’s ground and pound mentality on offense has
led it to a playoff appearance. It averages 210 rushing yards per game, which is good enough for 23rd in the nation and second in the Ohio Valley Conference to only Eastern. Running back De-Marcus James leads Jacksonville State with 1,180 yards.
Weaknesses: The Gamecocks over-played pass defense allows opponents to run the ball down their throat, just like Eastern did with its school-record 413 rush-ing yards. Jacksonville State is giv-
ing up 199.5 yards on the ground, 92nd in the FCS.
With such a lack of run defense, it is likely that the Gamecocks will be overpowered and fall behind early against any of its possible op-ponents during th tournament this year.
Their 59th ranked passing of-fense will most likely not be domi-nant enough to give them a come-from-behind victory — making Jacksonville State a stretch to go far in this postseason.
Eastern Washington (10-2) – No. 3 seed
Key wins: 8/31 at Oregon State (49-46), 10/26 at Montana (42-37)
Key losses: 9/28 at Sam Houston State (49-34)
Strengths: Yes, this is the East-ern Washington everyone knows for beating Oregon State, a top 25 FBS team at the time. Quarterback Ver-non Adams had the infamous game of 411 passing yards and four touch-downs with 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Adams is a 5-foot-10 Swiss Army Knife: he can beat a team several dif-ferent ways.
Another one of three Walter Pay-ton Award finalists, Adams has led the Eastern Washington to one of the highest-octane offenses in the FCS, scoring 40.3 points per game (seventh overall).
His 4,059 passing yards is third in the country, while his 46 passing touchdowns is second to Eastern’s Jimmy Garoppolo. However, Adams also has 739 yards and seven touch-downs running the ball this year.
Freshman wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the go-to playmaker in the offense.
He leads the nation with 18 re-ceiving touchdowns and is second with 1,378 receiving yards.With an average of 18 yards per recep-tion, this duo is capable of big plays in any situation, as the Eagles aver-age 531.4 yards of total offense per game, fourth in the nation.
Plus, the Eagles play on a red field. That has to pose some kind of threat visiting teams, right?
Weaknesses: There are very few weaknesses that this team has. It is the most comparable team to the Panthers on offense, but not de-fense.
Yes, Eastern Washington’s offense can keep up with any team in the nation, but the defense has shown signs that it can’t.
Sooner or later a quarterback is going to pounce on its 108th ranked pass defense. Maybe Eastern’s Jimmy Garoppolo?
South Dakota State (8-4)
Key wins: 10/26 Northern Iowa (37-34), 11/23 at Youngstown State (42-13)
Key losses: 9/28 North Dakota State (20-0), 10/5 Southern Illinois (27-24)
Strengths: Ahh, yes, finally, the team that trounced Eastern 56-10 in the first round of the playoffs last year.
It is safe to say experience is on the Jackrabbits’ side, losing to eventually champion North Da-kota State in the second round in 2012.
Running back Zach Zenner is the workhorse of the offense. He accumulated 300 carries for 1,695 yards and 20 touchdowns this sea-son, all the way to a sixth place finish in the Walter Payton Award voting.
The rare ocassions Zenner is unsuccessful at pounding the ball,
quarterback Austin Sumner's is ef-ficient passing makes up for it. Sumner has a 60 percent comple-tion percentage on the season.
He also threw for 2,628 yards and 18 touchdowns this season.
Also, South Dakota State forced 32 turnovers while giving away just 16.
Weaknesses: Without its bal-anced offense, South Dakota State does not have much.
In four of the five games the Jackrabbits scored less than 29 points, they lost.
Therefore, if the offense strug-gles, South Dakota State’s defense
will need to keep the margin close, with Zenner being the focus of it — something it has been unable to do often this season.
Similar to Jacksonville State, it will be difficult for the Jackrab-bits to come from behind with the bulk of their offense being their running game.
So, is a revenge game for East-ern possible this season? Not like-ly.
The only way the two will have a rematch is in the semi-finals, and though Eastern will more than likely be there, South Dakota State will have a difficult path.

Eastern head coach Dino Babers has been nominated for the 2013 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year.Fifteen coaches from each division of NCAA football are eligible as finalists (FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III). One coach from each division is selected and will also receive a $50,000 donation to a charity of his choice, a $20,000 grant to each school’s respective alumni association along with the Coach of the Year trophy. The winner is decided by 55 percent of College Hall of Fame Selection Committee voting, 25 percent of national media voting and 20 percent of fan voting.The recipient of the award is determined on six categories, according the award’s website. “The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award recognizes college football coaches who demonstrate Responsibility, Integrity, Sportsmanship and Excellence both on and off the field,” the website states.
This is the eighth season the award has been established. Last season, Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly won award among FBS coaches.Willie Fritz of Sam Houston State won FCS award. Peter Rossomando from the University of New Haven won the award in Division II and the University of St. Thomas’ Glenn Caruso won the award at the Division III level. If Babers were to win the award, he would become the third coach from Illinois to do so at any level. He would join former University of Illinois coach Ron Zook and former Southern Illinois-Carbondale coach Jerry
Kill, who both won the award in 2007. Babers has already won the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, as he has led the Panthers to an 11-1 record, an OVC title and a No. 2 seed in the FCS playoffs. Babers is 18-6 in his two-year career at Eastern. He has a conference record of 14-1 and a perfect 10-0 home record at O’Brien Field.

Panthers, Tigers set for playoff rematchBy Aldo Soto
Assistant Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21
In 2007, Eastern coach Dino Ba-bers was an assistant head coach at UCLA, while also serving as the Bruins’ running backs and quarter-backs coach.
The southern California school won six games in the regular season, earning a bowl game appearance in December.
One of the Bruins’ six wins that year was against Brigham Young, a 27-17 victory at home in early Sep-tember. The two schools would meet again three months later in the Pio-neer Las Vegas Bowl, but Babers and UCLA left Las Vegas with a 17-16 loss.
That was the first time Babers had ever been a part of a team that played the same opponent twice, once in the regular season and the second in the postseason. Now, at 1 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field, Ba-bers will coach against Ohio Valley Conference foe Tennessee State for the second time in seven weeks, as the Panthers host their first playoff game since 2006.
Just like the Bruins in 2007, the Panthers won their first matchup against Tennessee State on Oct. 26, when Eastern quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 410 yards and four touchdowns in Eastern’s 34-16 win in Nashville, Tenn.
But to avoid a rematch loss, Ba-bers said Eastern has to play even better than it did in October, when the Panthers gained 567 yards on of-fense, while allowing 338 to the Ti-gers and only three first-half points.
“I told my football team ‘the Ten-nessee State team you played (in Oc-tober) if you play the exact same way you will lose this football game,’” Babers said. “We have to play better than what we played in that game.”
At LP Field, where the Panthers first played Tennessee State this sea-son, the Eastern defense faced Ron-ald Butler, who was starting at quar-terback in place of Michael German, who injured his left shoulder against Jacksonville State two weeks prior to the OVC showdown.
Butler threw two touchdown passes, both coming after Eastern was leading 28-3 in the fourth quar-ter. German returned Saturday af-ter missing the Tigers’ last five reg-ular season games and led Tennes-
see State to its first playoff win since 1986 in a 31-0 victory over Butler.
German threw two touchdown passes and completed 14-of-24 at-tempts for 201 yards against Butler.
Tennessee State coach Rod Reed said German brings the Tigers’ of-fense more experience.
“Experience wise, it’s a whole world of a difference,” Reed said. “You can try to hide all you want but he does.”
German is a red-shirt junior that has been playing since 2011. Last year he started in 10 of the 11 games that he played in and before his shoulder injury on Oct. 12, he start-ed five of Tennessee State’s first sev-en games.
Babers said Saturday’s game will be different because of German’s re-turn, but ultimately said that Ten-nessee State has not changed all that much.
Entering the first meeting, the Ti-gers had the second ranked defense in the FCS. After losing to the Pan-thers, Tennessee State went on to lose to Eastern Kentucky, but then followed that with three straight wins, including the shutout against Butler. In those wins, the Tigers’ de-fense allowed six points to Austin Peay and 10 to Murray State.
After the 31-0 win against the Bulldogs on Saturday, when Butler gained 257 yards on offense, Ten-
nessee State’s defense moved up to the No. 4 ranked total defense in the FCS. It is also the No. 4 ranked scoring defense, having allowed 15.5 points per game.
“They still have that exact same shutdown defense,” Babers said.
Tennessee State’s defense is led by defensive back Daniel Fitzpat-rick, who leads the FCS with eight interceptions. He is part of the Ti-gers’ secondary, which Babers said might be the best Eastern has played all year.
“We think it’s either the first or second best secondary we played and it’s the best FCS secondary for sure,” Babers said. “The only team that we can compare it to is San Di-ego State’s secondary.”
Tennessee State allows 170.1 passing yards per game this season and will go up against an eastern passing attack that is led by the No. 1 ranked passer in the country.
Garoppolo, who is a Walter Pay-ton Award finalist, has thrown 48 touchdowns this season and averages 374.1 passing yards per game. Reed
said his defense has to get as much pressure as it can on Eastern’s quar-terback.
“No one gets to Garoppolo and I don’t know how many sacks they’ve allowed on the year, but it’s not a whole lot,” Reed said. “Up front we have to do a little better than what we did last time we played them. You have to get pressure on him and get him off his spot and make him move around.”
Garoppolo was sacked three times in the first game against the Tigers and behind his offensive line made up of Collin Seibert, Dominic Pa-gliara, Nick Borre, Alex Pierce and Jimmy Lowery, Garoppolo has been sacked 16 times, which is the fewest in the OVC.
Eastern has not played since Nov. 23, but Babers said the layoff has given him the opportunity to rest players who have needed it because of injuries, including wide receivers Erik Lora and Keiondre Gober and running back Taylor Duncan.
Gober has been out since Nov. 2 with a hand injury and Lora missed
the Panthers’ last game against Ten-nessee-Martin, while Duncan last played on Nov. 9.
Babers said all three players will be practicing, but that Lora would not be touched in those practic-es leading up to Saturday’s game, though he said Lora would start against Tennessee State.
Saturday’s game features two OVC opponents playing each oth-er in the playoffs for only the third time in history and first since 1991.
Although Babers said Tennessee State might have the revenge factor going into the game, it will come down to adjustments made during the game.
“We have to stay sharp and no-tice any changes and if they are do-ing something different the coach-es have to pick up on it immediately and we have to get it to the players and make a game-time adjustment and hopefully we can make that right decision in that split instance that’s going to help us win that foot-ball game.”
Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. Satur-day at O’Brien Field and will also be available on ESPN3.com.

The Tigers might have the revenge fac-tor entering the game, but they will be stepping on to O’Brien Field, where East-ern coach Dino Babers has not lost a game in his first two years coaching the Panthers. The first time around Tennessee
State gave the Eastern offense some fits and held the Panthers to their lowest point total (34) in OVC games, but the Tigers still al-lowed 567 yards. Expect more of the same on Saturday.

with bad blood, but Eastern’s of-fense will put an end to that and jump out to a three-touchdown lead in the first quarter. East-ern will be better prepared on its home turf where the cold weather
will halt Tennessee State’s hopes at a revenge game. The quar-terback change of Michael German will not make a difference, as the Tigers’ offense is too predictable.

Tennessee State wants revenge after they lost to Eastern earlier this season, and they'll get their chance this Saturday with quarterback Michael German back in the lineup. However, it still won't be enough, as Eastern will again curise to victory. The
Tigers will hang around for awhile, but eventually Jimmy Garoppolo and the Eastern offense will prove again to be just too much.
