The Charleston School Board joined with Mat-toon to place a referendum on the ballot for the primary election, which would raise the county sales tax one percent.
The proposed tax hike, which will appear on the ballot March 18, comes after three consecutive years of state funding cuts, prompting Charleston district Superintendent Jim Littleford to suggest it is time for Coles County to take control of its ed-ucation spending.
“What I have learned in the past four or five years is that the state of Illinois is not a very good business partner,” Littleford said.
The sales tax increase would provide the school district with an extra $2 million each year through the Illinois County Facilities Tax. General state aid has been prorated each year since 2011 and now sits at 89 percent of its previous total.
Charleston has a sales tax of 6.75 percent, which is lower than surrounding cities, Littleford said, such as Champaign-Urbana, Tuscola and De-catur.
The sales tax hike will not lower property taxes because unlike in 2010, a “tax swap” is not being proposed. Therefore, property taxes will be unaf-fected if the referendum is passes.
A facilities tax increase can only be applied to infrastructure issues and cannot be used to fund discretionary spending such as teacher or admin-istrator salaries.
The district has a laundry list of issues with its facilities, including taking steps to improve securi-ty, addressing issues with roofing and dealing with the modular unit at Jefferson Elementary School, which is constantly being repaired, Littleford said.
The newest building in the Charleston district was built in 1968 while portions of Jefferson date back as far as 1927. Additionally, roads on dis-trict property are being continually patched and will need to be replaced soon. Twice in the last two years, ceilings have partially collapsed in dis-trict facilities.
Littleford also said the general costs of running the school system has increased too.
“What it took to educate somebody in 1965 is different than what it takes to educate somebody now,” Littleford said.
The potential impact of the tax on Eastern stu-dents is not lost on the superintendent, who said the last time the school board proposed such a ref-erendum in 2010. District officials met with the Student Senate to discuss the hike.
Littleford said students understood the impor-tance of the tax then and did not object to the pro-posal. Another such meeting is not scheduled yet, but Littleford said it has not been ruled out.
The Eastern student population does play a role in sales tax collection though. According to data from the Illinois Department of Revenue, two of Charleston’s three lowest months of collecting sales tax for 2013 came during the summer months.
When asked about the tax, Mayor Larry Ren-nels reminded voters the money from the refer-endum would not pass through the city and ulti-mately, the decision will be made at the polls.
“It’s going to be something the voters have to decide which way they want to go,” Rennels said.

Stripping their clothes off piece-by-piece, students will be running through the frigid temperatures expected for the Nearly Naked Mile at 10 a.m. Saturday starting in the Car-man Hall parking lot.
Roughing it through 20 mile per hour winds and temperatures below freezing, 30 registered runners, with more expected to join by the time the race starts, will be stripping down to their “bathing suit area” and running a mile.
There will be 3-4 stations along the trail where runners will take off specific items. For instance, at the first station, they will take off mittens, hats and scarfs they may have on. Carrie Klaphake, a student life graduate as-sistant working with Alumni Services who is sponsoring the event, said they have been warning runners to wear layers when going on the run.
Even though these temperatures can be dangerous over long periods of time, Jake Em-mett, a kinesiology and sports studies profes-sor, said it should not be too much of a wor-ry for those running because it is only a mile.
When temperatures drop, the body con-solidates the blood from the arms and legs to the body to focus on keeping the body organs warm. Emmett said this process happens over a long period of time though. It would take roughly 30 minutes before frostbite kicked in. There could be a possibility of frostbite though, which causes numbness and blue col-oration in the skin.
He also said it will make the experience hurt a lot less because the body will heat up during the run because of the energy given off. About 70 percent of energy exerted from the body is heat.
He said runners should worry more about icy patches instead of the temperature.
Tyler Mink, kinesiology and sports studies graduate assistant, seconded this observation. He said there is always a potential for frost-bite in cold climates, but it is very unlikely.
Mink did recommend those with cardio vascular issues or asthma issues not to run though especially if the temperature gets into the single-digits.
“It is hard for them to breathe in that kind of air,” Mink said. “It is not going to be easy on the pulmonary system.”
The pulmonary system includes the heart and lungs. Mink also said it would be best if those running don’t expose too much bare skin.
Klaphake said they are preparing for these temperatures.
“EMT’s will be available. The police de-partment is going to be there,” she said.
There will also be volunteers to help out all throughout the trail.
She said the volunteers will not be forcing the runners to get rid of their clothing.
The run will start out in the Carman park-ing lot north on Ninth Street, into Jackson Avenue and then back down 12th street.

For some students in the residence halls, get-ting their perfect temperature is an ongoing bat-tle leading them to wage war on their room’s “unforgiving” temperatures.
Especially during these frosty, frigid and freez-ing months, students are fighting against their room’s temperature by buying space heaters, which are prohibited in the halls, or opening the windows, for those who find their rooms to warm.
While they may think the are just affect-
ing their room’s temperature, Mark Hudson, the director of Housing and Dining Servic-es, said when they change the temperature in their room, they probably are affecting the entire floor’s temperature.
The residence halls are run off of a zone heat-ing system, which regulates itself based on the temperature in the from the various thermostats on each floor. Each thermostat handles a specif-ic zone on the floor.
Each building has a slightly different meth-od of using this system. For instance, Taylor Hall has a more complex system with hot decks, while Weller Hall is more perimeter heated.
Hudson said the system is always trying to stay between 66 and 76 degrees.
This becomes difficult when someone owns a space heater or opens a window. When students open their windows, the system is tricked into thinking it is much colder than it actually is. To compensate, it then cranks up the heat, risking a spike, affecting other students like Andrew Li-lek, who lives in Ford Hall.
“I know, in our room, it is either extremely hot or extremely cold,” Lilek, a senior communi-cation studies major, said. “It can have its pick.”

CUPB to overview aspects of advisory subcommitteesStaff report
The Council on University Planning and Budget will meet for the first time this semester at 2 p.m. Friday in the 1895 Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. Univer-sity Union.
Grant Sterling, Faculty Senate chairperson and CUPB member, said the council has traditionally act-ed as a forum for vice-presidents to report on university activities; however, it is evolving.
“Traditionally CUPB has done very little of inter-
est,” Sterling said. “This year, it has been charged with a monumentally important task-- sorting through the program analysis documents to make recommendations for budget cuts.”
The council will review different aspects of the ad-visory subcommittees. They will be replacing advisory subcommittees with subcommittees for program analy-sis as well as reviewing various expectations of the sub-committees run by the council.
They will be changing their next meeting to Jan. 31.
Registration drive set for next weekBy Michael SpencerCity editor | @tmskeeper
Student Government will work with the Coles County Clerk’s of-fice next week to register East-ern students from Monday to Fri-day for the March 18 primary elec-tion. The registration drive will take place outside the Food Court of the Martin Luther King Jr. Universi-ty Union Jan. 27 through Jan. 31, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Executive Vice President Mitch-ell Gurick said he aims to register 1,000 students, a figure he said he is confident can be achieved.
Gurick said before the 2012 pres-idential election, about 2000 stu-dents signed up at the student gov-
ernment booth. Ahead of the pri-mary election, they are looking for just half and Gurick said he is con-fident it can happen.
Data from the county clerk’s of-fice indicates those projected totals are reasonable. Audrey McGraw, Chief Deputy in charge of elections and voter registration for the clerk’s office, said roughly half as many people register to vote on the gover-nor race as a gubernatorial election.
“I would say that the most reg-istrations that we get from Eastern students are done during the regis-tration drives before a presidential election,” McGraw said.
Gurick said getting students to sign up is crucial because those run-ning in these elections go on to ef-
fect issues significant to students.“It's important to register, espe-
cially as college students, because the decisions that we make and the people we decide to elect real-ly plays a vital role in the decisions that are made beyond our control about state funding for higher edu-cation,” Gurick said.
Once students enter the work force, the candidates in this elec-tion will have even more influence on them, Gurick said.
Students can sign up to vote ei-ther in Charleston or in their home district. The clerk’s office will for-ward the paper work to those stu-dents’ counties if one wishes to fill out an absentee ballot for the up-coming election.
“It's more of a personal decision,” Gurick said, adding students will have to decide whether they want to vote for candidates at home or in Charleston where they will spend the bulk of the academic year.
The registration drive will have bi-partisan effort from the College Democrats and the College Repub-licans working together in conjunc-tion with the Student Government and the county clerk’s office.
Gurick said he hopes by operat-ing this program through the Stu-dent Government, it will have more of an impact on students.

Becoming a percus-sionist is a lot like being grabbed by the violin strings and shaken until your body is being thrust to a beat it can resonate with. At least this is how it happened to Kyle Dombroski, a senior psychology major and percussionist.Dombrowski played the violin regularly – that is until his aunt gifted him a toy set of cardboard drums when he was a child.

Becoming a percussionist is a lot like being grabbed by the violin strings and shaken until your body is being thrusted to a beat it can reso-nate with.
At least this is how it happened to Kyle Dom-broski, a senior psychology major and percussion-ist.
Dombrowski played the violin regularly – that is until his aunt gifted him a toy set of cardboard drums when he was a child. After that, the days of Vivaldi and Corelli were fond memories becoming increasingly muffled by tapping mallets and chat-tering hi-hats.
“There’s a lot I can learn,” Dombroski said. “I’m never going to stop learning, and I’m never going to perfect something, so I always have a goal.”
For Dombroski and his peers, these goals are in-spired in the percussion lab of the Doudna Fine Arts Center, where music students gather and re-hearse.
Meghan Osterbur, a sophomore biological sci-ences major, said she still does not know how long it takes to learn to play percussion because the pro-cess is all-encompassing.
“The cool thing about percussion is that any-thing can be a percussion instrument,” she said.
Osterburg added that her position as female per-cussionist is an extra motivation for her to learn as much as she can.
“It seems like a very masculine instrument,” she said. “It isn’t discouraging; it’s actually kind of en-couraging sometimes.”
Similarly, senior music education major Angela Napolitano knows the underestimated struggle of trying to perfect not just one, but and array of ex-isting percussion instruments.
“They hear percussion and think, ‘Oh you play drums?’ and it’s so much more than that,” she said. “They think, ‘Oh you’re a rock star. You can play a drum set.”
Music is more than keeping a beat. On top of learning to sight-read sheet music and understand-ing the styles of different cultures, Napolitano said percussion students are required to learn and mas-ter a variety of instruments.
“If I played flute I would only practice flute and I would be really proficient in flute,” she said. “With percussion I have to be pretty proficient in a whole bunch of different instruments.”
Those instruments include: the vibraphone, tim-pani, bass drum, triangle, tambourine, claves, bon-gos, shakers and congo drums, to name a just a few.
For percussion students, the time not spent learning and perfecting music for class, is only a small window and filled with personal music en-deavors.
Donovan Norman, a junior music education major, said percussion is a lifestyle for most as much has it is a hobby.
“It kind of consumes you,” he said. “Because it’s music, it’s not as overwhelming.
You’re practicing ways to express yourself. It’s a lot, but it’s worth it.”
Volume and speed are valid but misleading sym-bols of the self-expression that is inherent to percus-
sion playing. The real moments of individuality are in the
cranking of a drummers neck – the heated concen-tration on every key on marimba.
When Napoltano plays, she feels. “You get to use your body more than a lot of oth-
er instruments,” she said. “We get to express it with our face, when other instruments use their face.”
An eccentric stage presence and an eclectic taste in music are side effects of playing a versatile instru-ment.
Norman said one of his playlists may very well incorporate bands ranging from Bach to Boston to The Beatles.
“On marimba we play transcriptions of renais-sance dances or string quartets, which transfer well to this instrument,” he said. “So I’ve been exposed to that through percussion.”
Although Dombroski blushed at admitting Linkin Park was the first band that encouraged him to play drums, he said now his taste has broadened.
“I listen to funk, jazz, rock and classical music, but the band I’ve been listening to lately is called Snarky Puppy,” he said. “They’re groovy.”
As for going to class, attendance is more pleasure than pain.
Norman said the professors in the department make his experience especially enjoyable.
“They are the most interesting and the coolest people on the face of the earth,” he said. “They’re down to earth and you can come to them for any-thing.”
Percussion students have a home away from home where there is a drum, a fellow musician and
an instructor to advise them, Dombroski said. “We have percussion ensemble three times a
week and we have studio class,” he said. “We’re around each other all the time, so we become good friends and we become like a family.”
Although Dombroski’s life plans did not include a bow and violin, he said he will always remember that aspect of his musicality.
“I think the basics will always be with me,” he said. “Receiving this toy drum set from my aunt and watching all these rock drummers, it just ap-pealed to me more.”

It’s hard to believe that we’re already almost halfway through the month of Jan-uary.
Before we know it, we’ll be on spring break, hopefully in warmer conditions, and prepping for our final exams in what, for some us, could be our last semester here at Eastern.
There’s a lot to keep up with and those due dates and deadlines tend to sneak up on us.
Lost in all the hustle and bustle is proba-bly state and local government elections.
It’s probably the last thing on your mind, and it’s understandable that you might not be totally on top of all those things, but they are important and they do matter.
The last day to register to vote in the state of Illinois is Feb. 18, so you’ve still got some time, but like we said, that day will creep on you before you know it.
To help with this, Student Government is helping put together a voter registration drive at the Martin Luther King Jr. Uni-versity Union Food Court from Jan. 27 to Jan. 31, running from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day.
We know Jan. 27 might seem like a far away date too, but it’s actually this Mon-day.
A little short notice, but enough time to fit it into you’re already packed schedule.
For younger students who might not be registered to vote, this is the perfect oppor-tunity to get it out of the way and have it done conveniently right here on campus.
We know that sometimes it might seem like any election outside of the presidential might not seem like a big deal, but the state and local elections can potentially have more of an effect on you.
These are the elected officials that will be influencing not just your hometown, but your second hometown – Charleston.
You may not think you need to care about what happens here in little ol’ Charleston because you think it’s not your real “hometown.”
However, you do spend most of the year here for a pretty extended period of time.
You should care about what happens here because contrary to what you may think or people may tell you, this is your town too, even if you are just here for a few years.
Voting - and knowing who to vote for - are very important aspects of our life. Vot-ing for the person you believe in can fun-demntally change your life.
With student loans and such piling up, it’s important to firstly, be aware of what is going on and knowing how it affects you, and secondly, knowing which officials are going to do the most to help you.
It sounds like a long and tedious process, and it is, but just simply registering to vote for someone that you believe is going to impact your life is a step in the right direc-tion.
There’s no excuse not to be registered to vote.
Voting is one of your rights. Embrace it.
Embrace your right to vote
Recently, I was talking with a professor who expressed a desire never to talk to a Daily Eastern News reporter again, based on an in-cident from many years ago. (While talking, I didn’t reveal I am a News reporter until the end of the conversation.) This professor was adamant about the stance, though. Through this seemingly traumatic event from years ago, a hatred of The News reporters still exists for this professor.
As a political science major, I have learned never to tell anyone he or she is wrong; in-stead, I have to convince them that my argu-ment is better. In this case, the professor could not be convinced, as he was missing one criti-cal point: we at The News are students. Grant-ed, we publish our work for everyone to see, thereby opening ourselves up to ridicule and furthermore, libel cases; however, the reason we go out to report every day is to bring the news to our readers.
If you still aren’t convinced why we should receive some slack, ponder this: how many oth-er majors are practicing their craft right now in forum that is open to public ridicule daily?
Are political science majors currently politi-
cians acting upon matters of high importance? Are education majors teaching scores of chil-dren during their undergraduate years at East-ern?
Don’t get me wrong: I am not saying we are perfect at all. If we were, every reporter on staff would be working for a newspaper full-time in-stead of going to school.
We love our job and to refuse to cooperate with us based on the actions of student-jour-nalists who have long-since graduated is unfair and unnecessary. Yes, I know it is one’s right to refuse to talk to a reporter. However, as a stu-dent newspaper, we are here to report the news of Eastern impartially.
By impeding our progress in the search for
truth, you are hurting everyone. First-year journalism courses instill students
with the belief that journalism is the “fourth branch” of government, acting as a check for the other three when they abuse power, and I wholeheartedly agree.
Would you rather not know about the spy-ing of the NSA? Would you rather not know about when peace-advocate Nelson Mandela died?
In one of his famous Fireside Chats, Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “(T)he only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a govern-ment strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.”
Granted, we will make mistakes. We will have errors, and we will fail. However, Eastern students and faculty should help us transcend our errors in our quest to “tell the truth and don’t be afraid.”

As I sat down to figure out what to write about for this column I did the traditional ritual of using Google to find good ideas. What I stum-bled upon was a Top Ten list from The New York Times giving tips on how ideas how to write.
Excellent, right? Actually, that’s wrong. These “tips” turned into a long list of self-pro-
motions for The New York Times and its various facets. And that brings me to right now.
At a certain point in our lives we have become complacent with self-promotion, self-ascension. Basically, a self-interested ideal overtakes us.
I’m not really intending this to be a column based around good feelings and helping out your fellow man, but I do think the idea of a selfish society is an idea that should be explored a little bit more.
Something in our system has broken down, become stagnant in this idea that the world is an all-about-me world.
The idea of, “Well, what can you do for me?”
has consumed us entirely. In a world where we care more about what the guy we’re holding the door open for us can do than just doing the act itself, we are losing track of what’s really impor-tant.
What’s really important is taking time for oth-ers. It should not take a tragedy like a tornado or a hurricane to bring a community together. It should not take a crisis like a devastation to make us look at our neighbors as human beings.
Yes, this all comes from a New York Times
post, but nonetheless, we see it everyday – from the person who will pick up his friend if he pays him to the student who demands extra credit for doing what is expected.
The idea that I am the most important person on the face of the planet and everybody else lives to serve to me needs to stop. It does not have to be a huge gesture to reverse this, but instead can be solved through simple acts.
Hold the door for someone. Ask how their day is going. Take time to understand what peo-ple are going through.
Small acts – that’s all it takes, and all that needs to be done. There is no tornado, no hur-ricane, no immense tragedy every day. Instead there is only you and the people around you. Better get used to it, because neither one is going anywhere anytime soon.
Self-interest alone can be damaging

The Council on Academic Affairs approved adding a new course to the general studies undergraduate degree at its meeting Thursday.
The new class, BGS 3002, Criti-cal Thinking and the Adult Learner, “focuses on adult development, adult learning theory, the adult learning cycle and critical thinking as it relates to the students earning a general studies de-gree,” according to the course propos-al format.
Carrie Johnson, the director of the general studies degree, said she has worked on the course proposal details for one and a half years, and hopes it will help further develop students in the program.
“I believe the course makes (stu-dents) more well-rounded,” Johnson said. “I want students to think about what qualities they have and how to sell themselves (to potential employers).”
CAA member Rebecca Throneburg said she likes how the new course helps tie the degree together.
“I like the way you are making stu-dents conscious of their thinking,” Throneburg said.
The new BGS 3002 course will be added to two other classes general stud-ies majors must take as a part of their 120 hours in order to graduate.
Students in the general studies pro-gram must meet all requirements set for graduates in any other program on campus with the exception of a foreign language requirement.
Johnson said the general studies de-gree is geared toward “mature, adult learners.”
She continued by telling the CAA about how she often has students who wish to transfer to her degree because of their failure to pass a requirement in their current program.
Johnson said it is a large problem, and that she has a moral problem al-lowing this change in order to “let them out” with a bachelor’s in general studies.
“I don’t want to be a major for those people (who fail another program),” Johnson said. “I am one person fighting a perception I inherited.”
Johnson said she hopes the new class will help tie the variety of courses to-gether in a more all-encompassing way through focusing on strong academic fundamentals such as writing and crit-ical thinking.
“My students need (this course), as there is no guarantee they are getting (the information) somewhere else,” Johnson said.
As well as approving changes to the general studies degree, the CAA ap-proved a new general-education course in the department of chemistry.
The new class, CHM 3025G, The Chemistry in Your Life, will focus on teaching students the various ways chemistry is integrated into everyday life.
Mark McGuire, the chair of the chemistry department, said the course will be the first course in the chemistry department that is offered online.
“Since it is difficult to have chemis-try courses online due to labs, we have been anxious to (have the opportunity to add) a course online,” McGuire said.
McGuire said the department hopes to offer the first chemistry course in summer 2014.
“(The new course will) help students make connections to products in stores and educate students on chemistry at the molecular level,” McGuire said.
The tentative plan is to offer the course during the summer online, and offer it face-to-face during the academ-ic year.
McGuire said the course was also de-signed with nursing students in mind.
The new course will allow students to meet the chemistry qualification, as students in the past have taken cours-es elsewhere because of a lack of general education chemistry courses at Eastern.
With the addition of this new class to the chemistry portfolio, McGuire said CHM 2040G, Practical Chemis-try, is “going away.”
The next scheduled CAA meeting will take place at 3 p.m. Thursday in the Arcola-Tuscola room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

CAA approves general studies degree changes
Dion MCneal | The Daily easTern ne ws Courtney Gramley, a sophomore atheletic training major, Jackson Mortka, a senior journalism major, Breana Waterson, a freshman communication studies major and Jacob Willson, a freshman kinesiology and sports studies major take a breather by gathering together after a long week.
Kick your feet up
Cheyenne Wallace, a special ed-ucation major, said she has seen mixed extremes from her room and her friends.
“My room is always cold,” Wal-lace said. “My friend in Thomas - her room is really hot.”
There aren’t extremes every-where, like in Stevenson Hall, Alis-sa Runkle, a junior math major with teacher certification, said.
“Here, I don’t feel like we have that problem,” Runkle said.
She also said she has heard com-plaints about the temperature in past years though.
Hudson said it could also risk damaging the pipes in their room.
“The challenge is, if people leave their windows open, at this kind of temperature, they are going to freeze their pipes,” Hudson said.
Hudson said he recommends when students find the floor exces-sively hot or cold, to get their Res-ident Assistant on the floor so they will check the actual temperature of the floor. If the temperature is out of the “comfortable” range, they will send in a work order for some-one to look at it.

Emmett said while it shouldn’t be too risky throughout the race, run-ners should get layers on or get in-side immediately after the race.
Currently, students are the only one running but Klaphake said they have been trying to get the word out to the community through local newspapers and WCIA-3.
“I am from Minnesota and if people can jump into a lake when it’s frozen over, I am sure people can run less than a mile,” Klaphake said.

The Eastern women’s basket-ball team is heading to Cape Gi-
rardeau, Mo., to play the South-east Missouri Redhawks on Sat-urday.
The Panthers enter the game ranked second in the Ohio Val-
ley Conference in scoring defense at 67.5 points per game and the worst scoring offense in the con-ference at 62.6 points per game.
The Redhawks come in with
the 10th ranked scoring offense and in the bottom half of the conference in terms of scoring defense.
Southeast Missouri has cur-
rent ly lost i t s last f ive of s ix games and is 1-4 in the confer-ence.
LAST GAME:
Eastern is coming off of an 80-74 win over Murray State Monday in Lantz Arena.
The Panthers shot 28-of-33 from the free-throw line, including 24-of-27 in the second half, which provid-ed to be the difference in the game.
Katlyn Payne started to get shots to fall for her after she shot 4-of-4 in the second half, after starting the game 0-of-4.
The Panthers started the game on a 26-9 run, which they would hold for the rest of the game, as the lead never got any closer than four for the Panthers.
LAST GAME:
Southeast Missouri is coming off a 62-59 loss to Morehead State on Monday in Morehead, Ky.
Morehead State hit a 3-pointer with 12 seconds remaining to defeat the Redhawks.
The Redhawks shot 7-of-7 from the field in the first eight minutes of the game then finished 3-of-12 from the floor in the final 12 minutes of the game.
Jordan Hunter led the way for Southeast Missouri with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting.

The Eastern men’s and women’s tennis teams will play for the first time this spring season, as both squads travel to play out-of-conference op-ponents starting Friday.
Competing first this season will be the women’s team, which travels to Bloomington to play the Il-linois State Redbirds at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Last season, the women finished 13-6 overall, while playing excellent away from home with an 8-3 away record.
Returning from a sophomore season, which re-sulted in a 12-5 singles record in 2013, is junior Sephora Boulbahaiem who posts a 17-13-career record for Eastern.
Another Panther to watch against Illinois State is senior Janelle Prisner.
Prisner was 8-7 in singles matches last season and is a steady 25-25 in her career at Eastern.
Prisner said Eastern has not changed its routine.“For road matches we don’t prepare any differ-
ently,” Prisner said. “We practice really hard every-day, and leave it all on the court on match days, no matter where we play.”
As for the Panthers’ opponent, Illinois State has yet to play a match this year, and is coming off its 2013 season, when it posted a 10-13 record.
Eastern will be focused on how competitive it will be against Illinois State.
“I don’t like to think of matches as wins or loss-
es, but instead how hard we fight for every point and never give up,” Prisner said.
Illinois State advanced to last season’s Missouri Valley Conference semifinal, in which it was swept 4-0 against eventual conference champion Wich-ita State.
One day later, the Eastern men’s team will take to the courts against Saint Louis to start its 2014 campaign.
Traveling to O’Fallon to play the Billikens, the Panthers are coming off of a 7-10 season, when they failed to qualify for the Ohio Valley Confer-ence Tournament.
Sophomore Robert Skolik and senior Kevin Bauman are both coming off of 2013 seasons in which they tied for team-high win totals with sev-en each.
Saint Louis has already been in action this sea-son, defeating IUPUI last Sunday, 4-3 respectively.
Eastern’s match against Illinois State starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday from the Evergreen Racquet Club.
The Panther men play at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday from St. Clair Racquet club.

DomiNiC baima | tHe DailY easterN Ne wsEastern’s tennis player David Constantinescu, a junior, prepares for a forhand swing in a singles matchup.
“Well, we are going to do what we do every week to for every team,” he said. “We won’t really know how they play until the first period of the first game is over.”
Last week in Champaign, the Panthers got to play in front of the largest crowd they have seen all season. Gallagher said he does not know what to ex-pect in Springdale, but does not think whatever at-mosphere the Razorbacks bring will faze the Pan-
thers.“Playing in front of all those fans last weekend
in Champaign will help us tremendously this week-end,” he said. “We don’t really know if they will have a big crowd or not, but we love playing in front of fans, so the environment won’t bother us.”

The Eastern hockey club will have its first meeting with the Arkansas Razorbacks Friday in Springdale, Ark.
The Panthers will make the nearly eight-hour trip from Charleston to the Jones Cen-ter for a two game series, with the first game starting at 8:30 p.m. and the second at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Panthers are coming off a 10-2 loss against the University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign’s Division I team, a game that Eastern senior forward Chris Gallagher said prepared the team well for its upcoming chal-lenge in Arkansas.
“They were the best team we have faced this whole season and whenever you play a great team like that, it can only make you bet-ter,” he said.
Gallagher said the Panthers admittedly do not know much about Arkansas, which enters with a record of 24-5, but said when the Ra-zorbacks called, the team was excited at the opportunity to play.
“They contacted us over the summer and asked if we would like to make the trip,” he said.
For freshman forward Sam Turk, it is an ex-perience he and the rest of the team are look-ing forward to.
“The boys are pretty excited to take a long roady to Arkansas and see what these guys are all about,” Turk said.
The Razorbacks went on a 16-game win-ning streak, stretching from Sept. 27 to Nov. 9. During that stretch, they outscored oppo-nents 105-24. On Nov. 22, the Razorbacks recorded an overtime win over Division I Central Oklahoma.
The team is currently on a five game win-ning streak, picking up wins over Dallas Bap-tist, the Dallas Jr. Stars of the North Ameri-can Tier III Hockey League, and a two game sweep over Dordt College (Iowa).
Eastern has not been on the winning side of the scoreboard since its sweep of Eastern Kentucky in November.
Gallagher said despite the team’s little knowledge of what to expect from Arkansas, the Panthers will prepare for the team just like they do any other opponent.

The Eastern track and field team returns home this weekend for the EIU John Craft Invite, after what coach Tom Akers said was a mediocre weekend in Champaign-Urbana.
Last weekend, Akers noted that their per-formance was not acceptable, if they are to defend their Ohio Valley Conference title this spring.
“We’re looking to perform better this week-end,” Akers said. “Competing at home and having another week off should help them accomplish that goal. It should be an excit-ing meet, and a chance to compete in front of their friends and families.”
The invite will see the Panthers host West-ern Illinois, Murray State, Wisconsin-Mil-waukee, Bradley, Rend Lake Community Col-lege, Judson University and the University of Illinois Track Club.
Craft, a member of the Panther Hall of Fame, is well known for winning NAIA tri-ple jump national championship twice, and also competing in the mired 1972 Munich
Olympics. He also served as head coach for the Panthers women’s team, and was induct-ed into NAIA Helms Hall of Fame in 1975.
Following the lone first-place finish last week, by newcomer Peter Geraghty in the
pole vault.Geraghty, in just the second meet as a
Panther, out jumped his All-American team-mate Mick Viken by a narrow margin. He also comes into this meet as the reigning
OVC Male Athlete of the Week. For the women’s team, Jalissa Paramore
took home second place finish in the long jump and a third place finish in the women’s 60m hurdles at Illinois last week.
She placed second in the long jump with a distance of 18-feet, 5.25-inches and third in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.76 sec-onds.
She also claimed the OVC Female Athlete of the Week award following the first meet of the year.
Calvin Edwards has also posted a first and second place finish in the 200m race throughout the last two weeks, respectively.
Teammate Pablo Ramirez looks to contin-ue his solid week after placing 10th on the Eastern all-time list with a time of 8:21.06 in the 10K race.
The start of the meet is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday with the multi and field events to start at Lantz Fieldhouse.

mAYDAY mArTInPanthers falter at Skyhawks, 84-77
By Anthony CatezoneSport Editor | @AnthonyCatz
Chris Olivier scored two of his game-high 20 points on a put-back layup to give the East-ern men’s basketball team an 11-poin lead four minutes into the second half.
From there, it was all down hill for the Pan-thers at Tennessee-Martin Thursday night.
“It was just ignorant; ignorant stuff,” East-ern coach Jay Spoonhour said in his postgame interview. “You can’t go on the road and be dumb. We were pretty dumb for a big stretch of this.”
Eastern lost to the Ohio Valley Conference’s second to last team 84-77, falling to 3-5 in con-ference play.
“You go on the road — you can’t give up 84 points,” Spoonhour said. “You’re just not going to win that way.”
With 9:18 remaining, the Skyhawks capped off a 19-7 run with two Tobias Dowdell free throws to take a 55-54 lead, their first in more than 13 minutes.
“As the game went on, they beat us in straight lines and we didn’t work off hard enough to stop them from getting to the rim,” Spoonhour said. “Then, you help from the perimeter and they get 3s.”
Tennessee-Martin shot 47.8 percent from 3-point range and a staggering 6-of-8 in the sec-ond half, compared to Eastern’s 30 percent for the game from 3-point range.
Spoonhour said he was unhappy with the Pan-thers’ shot selection throughout stretches of the game.
“It was just crazy-looking, stupid shots,” he said.Guard Mike Liabo made two 3-pointers, hauled
in two rebounds and recorded two assists in the Skyhawks’ second-half run. Liabo scored 16 of his game-high 20 points in the second half.
Both teams continued to trade baskets through-out the next seven minutes, until a 3-pointer by Tennessee-Martin’s Terence Smith, assisted by Li-abo, put the game out of reach in the heart of a 7-2 run, giving the Skyhawks a 75-71.
Liabo then scored six of the Skyhawks’ final nine points to solidify their second win in just eight OVC games this season.
As for Eastern’s guards, starters Reggie Smith and Dylan Chatman shot a combined 3-of-17 from the field and 0-of-8 from 3-point range, scor-ing just nine points and having seven turnovers be-tween the two of them.
“When you go on the road, your guards have to play well, and we just didn’t have a good one,” Spoonhour said.
Eastern had 14 turnovers to Tennessee-Martin’s nine, with the Skyhawks forcing 10 steals against the Panthers.
“Their zone is hard to pass against and we’re not a great passing team,” Spoonhour said.
Guards Alex Austin and Dennis Green did not play at all for Eastern.
Eastern will return to the court against South-east Missouri (11-9) at 5:30 p.m. Saturday in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

'Devil's Due' Movie ReviewPage 2

A handful of scenes make “Dev-il’s Due” semi-bearable to watch once you look past the found-footage style of filming that might make some queasy.
In 90 minutes, “Devil’s Due” manages to go from making you feel as if you want to marry and have babies with the next person you see to making you feel like you want to stay single for the rest your life.
In “Devil’s Due,” things take a turn for the worst when an excit-ed couple realizes that something is terribly wrong with a surprise preg-nancy. The vegetarian mom-to-be
has a new appetite for raw meat, has vicious mood swings and has no memory of parts of her day.
Trouble starts when newlyweds Zach (Zach Gilford) and Samantha (Allison Miller) get into a cab with
a too-helpful cab driver who takes them to an underground rave in the Dominican Republic. The ap-prehensive couple soon drinks too much and wakes up in their hotel room with no recollection of how they got home.
Back at home, Sam realizes she is pregnant even though she takes birth-control faithfully. Zach wants to capture every moment of the pregnancy, the good, bad and the ugly, but doesn’t realize how much he is going to get.
After Sam punches out the win-dows of a car, guts and eats a deer and uses telekinetic powers to
whip a group of teenagers around like ragdolls, Zach takes a look at his home movies to see what else is happening. But by the time he looks back, it’s too late.
The acting is actually well done, but the found-footage style has been overdone in movies like “Paranormal Activity,” “Chroni-cle” and “Cloverfield.” Yes, it is a cute idea for the husband to be ex-cited to capture everything, but the movie could have been better from Sam’s point of view or from a third person perspective.
Don’t get me wrong, the story is interesting, but some of the so-
called ‘scary moments’ end up be-ing funny because it’s all been done before.
In the end, you do find out who is responsible, but it is predictable and not well explained as to why they take the children or who they are exactly. You will leave the the-atre confused, feeling a like you paid too much and wanting more answers.
But the most important ques-tion of all: what ever happened to the dog?

‘Devil’s Due:’ a found-footage fail
Staring at the flyer for her up-coming coffee-store book signing, Danielle Braiding can hardly be-lieve what she sees.
Braiding said she had no idea she could create a book, and she is even more boggled that God has al-lowed her to complete it.
Braiding, 46, published a book of poetry and prose titled “The Eye of You, of Me: An A to Z Journey” last November. The cover art is Braiding’s own painting.
And though the stories inside are her own, Braiding said the at-tention should go to her inspira-
tion: her class of 27 fifth-grade stu-dents, strangers she has met and a life of experiences.
Braiding is hesitant to even call herself a writer.
“I don’t claim to be a writer,” she said. “I am an experience need-ing to write. That’s it.”
Braiding will be reading excerpts from her book from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Jackson Avenue Coffee.
Although, she couldn’t say the book is about exactly one thing.
“It’s really an accumulation—heartfelt—of interactions between this human being and other human beings,” she said.
But sharing her writing has not always been easy.
In fact, the first time she shared her poetry at a domestic violence awareness night, Braiding became so emotional she had to ask the owner of the JAC to help her finish reading, she said.
“I had written and I had writ-ten and I had written, and some-thing came over me and I decid-ed I was going to walk downstairs to the coffee shop and read what I had written for my mom,” Braid-ing said.
Braiding also couldn’t say exact-ly when she started writing.
“I didn’t ever start writing poet-ry,” she said. “I never started writ-ing prose. I just started writing.”
For Braiding, writing was “a
continuum;” she said if she didn’t write—she would have died.
“It’s my medicine,” she said. “I mean it’s selfish; it’s completely self-ish, but my writing is my medi-cine.”
Recalling what motivated her to begin writing a book, Braiding cit-ed one major inspiration—a break-down.
“(It was) a complete, absolute breakdown, a lose-your-head, go-crazy breakdown,” she said. “And that encouraged my writing be-cause I was long, long, long a writ-er before that, but when I lost my head, I lost my senses.”
However, Braiding said she has found hope in certain people along the way, such as her students, her children, a professor in college, Mrs. Yorkel, and a colleague at work, Anne Sanner.
“My favorite word is persever-ance,” she said. “You don’t ever give up, and you have these beau-tiful little people along endur-ing. And they’re all rare, extreme-ly rare.”
Braiding said that although her mother and grandmother may not physically be with her, she still be-lieves they are encouraging her to share her experiences.
“I want (readers) to connect,”
she said. “I want them to see that they are no different than me, that we are the same. Not with an ego, I want them to be able to open up the book and say, ‘Oh my God, she’s speaking what I have walked.’”
She said one thing people will take away from attending her read-ing is that she is a good listener, ev-ident from her writings about en-counters with “five-minute strang-ers,” or people whom she winds up talking to who do not stay strangers for longer than that.
“I want to get beyond myself,” she said. “It’s a hard road and it’s been a long walk, but I have never been one to just be of myself, ever. I love listening.”
If Braiding could have readers take away one thing from her book, she said it would be to realize their own potential, whether they have a college degree or not.
“I want people to recognize that whatever they have in their hearts, whatever they have in their souls, they have every right to write it down, and no one has the right to stop them,” she said.

Flowers of Evil is not the typical combination; some could argue that it is an oxymoron, but it is the name of an up-and-coming rock ‘n’ roll band.
The lead guitarist, Kaleb Hunter, received inspiration for the band’s ti-tle from the French author Charles Bauvelaire’s book titled “Flowers of Evil.”
Hunter said he believed the psy-chedelic, crazy feel of the book fit the persona of the band. The band was originally created in late 2009.
As time has progressed members have come and gone, but Hunter said he is enjoying the current mem-bers the most.
He said their friendship makes for an easier work environment.
“(This is) probably the best band I have ever been in,” Hunter said.
The group of five has played to-gether for a year and a half since they joined together in Carbondale.
Hunter said he usually writes sketches of songs, and when he pres-ents them to the band, they all col-laborate and eventually create a dif-ferent song at the end of practice.
The band uses a different process for every song depending on what will produce the best lyrics and mu-
sic. Although there may not be a set-in-stone system of how the songs are created, the band agrees on the music as a whole.
The band is usually categorized
in the rock ‘n’ roll genre, but Hunt-er said he prefers for the band to be defined more by it’s “garage weird, avant-garde classic ‘60s pop sound.”
While establishing their sound,
the band members use Hunter’s phi-losophy of focusing on evolving their music instead of following current trends.
“We follow our own way by not
allowing money or admiration to motivate us, but (we are) doing this because we love to do this,” Hunter said.
Hunter said thousands of bands and artists have inspired Flowers of Evil. The Velvet Underground is Hunter’s personal prominent influ-ence.
He said The Velvet Underground was the first band that opened his ears to rock ’n’ roll and pushed him to start his own band.
The Flowers of Evil will be per-forming at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Top of the Roc for the first time.
Hunter said the band is excited to perform with their friends, The Ex-Bombers.
Other bands playing include Car-los Dangers Inbox, The Tim Blys and Joe McLean.
Hunter said he felt major anxiety when he first started performing, but he has gotten better with suppress-ing his nerves now. He still may go through his notebook studying lyrics several minutes before playing, how-ever.
Going forward, the band is cur-rently finishing their fifth album and wants to perform at more gigs na-tionally.

The Lions in Winter literary event will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday in the Lecture Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
The event is an annual reading series that features new and emerg-ing writers.
Jami Attenberg will read from her third novel, “The Middleste-ins,” Friday, followed by emerging writers Jason Koo, Alissa Nutting and Ryan Van Meter at 7 p.m. Sat-urday.
Roxane Gay, an English profes-sor and one of the event organizers, said the English department chose writers who are exciting and have strong book projects.
According to Attenberg’s web-site, “The Middlesteins” is about “a Midwestern family (that) seeks hope and love even in the face of
heartbreak and loss.” Also according to her website,
she has written about a variety of topics including sex, technology, design, television and urban life.
Van Meter will be reading an essay from his collection titled, “If You Knew Then What I Know Now,” which is a chronicle of his coming-of-age story as well as his coming-out experience.
Van Meter said he began writing the story during a creative writing class in college.
Throughout the writing experi-ence, he said he has learned to put himself in the shoes of others in or-der to understand their points of view.
“I am looking forward to the festival, and it sounds like there are going to be a lot of people who are really excited about writing and reading,” Van Meter said. “That is a really encouraging and inspiring crowd.”
Gay said Van Meter is an amaz-
ing non-fiction writer. Nutting will read from her re-
cent novel titled “Tampa.” “Tampa,” which debuted in
2013, features a young middle school teacher in Florida who re-calls her experience seducing a 14-year-old student.
Jason Koo, author of “America’s Favorite Poem,” and “Man on Ex-tremely Small Island,” is another writer who will read Saturday.
“Koo is a beautiful writer,” Gay said.
Gay said the authors were cho-sen because they are all good read-ers who can hold the audience’s at-tention.
She said the department hopes to create a strong literary commu-nity at Eastern and will enjoy hav-ing these authors around for a few days.
Van Meter said he is looking forward to seeing people he has not seen in a long time.
“Being around good writers makes you want to be a better writ-er,” he said.
Gay said the Department of English and the College of Arts and Humanities, as well as the Doudna Fine Arts Center New and Emerg-ing Artists Series program sponsor the event.
She said that registration is not required and the readings are free for Eastern students and open to the public.

Hello everyone, it’s about that time, you know, men freshen up with a “Suit & Tie,” women wear elaborate gowns and expensive jew-elry, which “Shine bright like a di-amond,” and the red carpet is “Ra-dioactive” with reporters. That’s right, it’s time for the 56th annual Grammy Awards
First of all, this isn’t going to be some piece in which I talk about the boring black and white histor-ical aspect of the Grammys—no-body cares; what will be discussed however are some possible winning projections based off of popularity and past winnings.
Will I cover every genre? No, of course not, ain’t nobody got time for that, but I will note the most popular.
Let’s begin with my favorite genre: R&B.
Last year’s Best R&B Perfor-mance winner was Usher with “Cli-max,” and this year’s nominees look to be an interesting batch.
From first glance, I’d say GQ’s December 2013 Rapper of the Year pick Kendrick Lamar will take home that Grammy.
I project that based off of his en-tire 2013 year, hands down Kend-rick Lamar killed it.
He had a great album release last spring, and even created beef with some of the rap industry ti-tans.
Because of him, Miguel will take
that home. Not to say Miguel isn’t good in
his own right, but c’mon, it’s Ken-drick Lamar.
However, I can also see Tamar Braxton taking the Grammy away as well.
The Braxton name carries a lot of weight, not to mention, I’ve heard her album, and it’s definitely worth some sort of praise.
Up next is Best Pop Solo Perfor-mance.
OK, this is a tough one guys. We have some heavy weights in this category such as J.T. and Katy Perry, but Bruno Mars is great too; however, that girl, Lorde seems to have gathered quite the following with her debut song.
Adele took home last year’s award, and she’s not in this category this time around, so the past win-nings won’t help any.
It’s a tough one, but I’d have-to give his one to good ol’ Justin Timberlake. He had a very strong comeback, and he even had the top-selling iTunes album of 2013

Album of the Year:
Many people have heard the dy-namic tones of British composer Edward Elgar, and many have cried to them, even if they do not realize they have.
Anyone who has attended a graduation ceremony will likely recognize the composer of the fa-mous “Pomp and Circumstance” song.
Elgar is only the most renown of the three composers who will be paid tribute at “A Concert of Brit-ish Chamber Music” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Tarble Arts Center.
John David Moore, an English professor, will perform on piano, while Sharry Spicknall, the concert-master of Eastern’s symphony, will perform on violin, and Elaine Fine, a music instructor at Lakeland Col-lege, will perform on viola.
In addition to Elgar, the trio will perform the works of Thomas F. Dunhill and Arnold Bax, who were also early 20th century British com-posers.
Though the songs are all about 100 years old, Fine said that time
and place in history are becoming part of popular culture.
“The English culture from the early 20th century is sort of popu-lar now because of ‘Downton Ab-bey,’” she said. “This is kind of the music that those people would have listened to; this is what would have been around in their time.”
And though “Pomp and Cir-cumstance” is not on the program for the night, Fine said people would be equally impressed with his other songs “Canto Popolare” and “Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. 82.”
“(People) think Elgar is a one-hit wonder, but no, Elgar wrote a lot of really fantastic music,” Fine said.
Fine said the Dunhill and Bax pieces are significant in that they were written to feature the viola as a chamber music instrument.
She said piano trios are usual-ly written for piano, violin and cel-lo, but these particular musicians wrote pieces like the “Phantasy-Trio in E flat, Op. 36” and the “Trio in One Movement, Op. 4” with viola taking place of the cello.
“There’s only a small amount of
music for violin, viola and piano, and this is kind of special music be-cause it was written in England in a time when, (following) the Eng-
lish renaissance that happened in the 16th century, there was a sort of secondary English renaissance of string music,” Fine said.
She said a viola is similar to a vi-olin; the difference is that the viola is an alto instrument while the vio-lin is soprano.
Fine said chamber music is mu-sic written for a few playing togeth-er in a small space, as opposed to orchestral music, written for an or-chestra of around 100 people in a big hall.
“It’s more intimate,” she said. “It’s like a conversation between three or four people as opposed to a whole group playing together with a whole section. So, there’s a lot more interaction.”
Fine said the main thing listen-ers will take away from the perfor-mance, which is free to attend, is an interesting variety.
“(Elgar is) one of the best loved and most well known composers,” she said. “Dunhill and Bax are not so well known, so people will be pleasantly surprised to hear music from people they’ve never heard of, ever before.”

according to Rolling Stone. Now, Katy Perry might still
snag the Grammy or even Bru-no Mars, but about Sara? Nah, not going to happen—who is she any-way?
Moving to a very different mu-sical genre, let’s take a look at Best Alternative Music Album.
First off, I just want to say who-ever wrote Neko Case’s song title, just needs to calm down; I feel like it was Fall Out Boy, or Panic! At the Disco.
They are very popular alterna-tive bands known for their obnox-iously long song titles.
Gotye won the previous year, and much like the other category, he’s not being nominated this year.
Well, I’ve listened to the music of NIN before and really enjoyed it, but I’ve heard the name Vampire Weekend before.
Wasn’t that Edward and Bella’s band? You know, before the birth
of their hybrid baby? I’m going to give this one to
Neko Case, only because of their odd title, overcompensation per-haps?
Finally, I’m going to bring up the nominees for Album of the Year.
We all know this is one of the biggest categories of the Gram-mies, Mumford & Sons won last year.
Taylor Swift. She won. We can all go home. I’m serious; people go crazy over this girl!
And again with this Sara chick, always trying to sneak her way into the top category.
Honestly, I’m not sure who’ll win this one.
Daft Punk is always a good lis-ten, Kendrick Lamar is huge and even Macklemore has a good fol-lowing.
I think I’ll go on ahead and give Sara the benefit of the doubt and take a chance by saying she’ll be the winner.
Although, deep down, I feel like it’ll be Taylor Swift, just because how crazy the world goes over this woman.
The Grammys will premiere at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
