Student Court justices reached a decision Th ursday last week in the case of SGA Chief of Staff An-drew Beasley v. Ethics Adminis-trator Michael Deaton. Beasley fi led the grievance against Dea-ton on accusations of breaking the SGA Constitution when Deaton sent a memo to Student Senators.

In the case of Beasley v. Deaton, the court found Deaton responsi-ble on all fi ve counts of breaking the Constitution.

Student Court found Deaton was acting as Ethics Administra-

tor when he sent out the memo, that he did deem the act of Cabi-net to be unethical, that he broke the Constitution when calling the act of Cabinet unethical with-out fi rst receiving a complaint and with seeking a remedy him-self, and that he did not conduct a proper investigation.

Th ey did fi nd, however, that he did not break the Constitution when he failed to act as an inde-pendent body.

Th e court said that Deaton was acting as Ethics Administrator be-cause he sent it out on his offi cial letterhead, and identifi ed him-self as Ethics Administrator three

times in the memo.In response to the case, Deaton

said identities are very complex, that everyone wears diff erent hats and you can’t just take off one and put on another.

“Despite popular belief, we cannot adhere to just one dimen-sion of our identity because the overarching concept of “identity” implies purpose and function,” Deaton said. “Two concepts de-rived not only from who we are, but what we do. Is that really too diffi cult to understand?”

Th e court discussed the memo itself, saying that the information is public knowledge, and not un-

constitutional.“Th e court notes that the mem-

orandum –by itself –is not nec-essarily unconstitutional,” Chief Justice Joshua Lang said. “Th e in-formation contained therein was public.”

He did go on to say that Deaton wrote the memo to be a remedy for what he thought to be an un-ethical act by cabinet, and an eth-ics administrator does not have the constitutional power to seek remedies without fi rst receiving a complaint.

Justice Candace Moberly dis-sented in part and released a dis-

Th e study of relationships between ani-mal behaviors, human behavior and ethics have been a lifelong pursuit by Hal Herzog, and his years of study and knowledge will be presented as part of Eastern’s Chautauqua series.

Herzog, professor of psychology at Western Carolina University, will present Beauty and the Beasts: Our Complicated Relationships with Ani-mals at 7:30 p.m. Th urs-day, Oct. 24 in Brock Au-ditorium in the Coates Building.

Herzog’s wide interest in psychology, animal and human behavior is conveyed in his book Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat that was published in Septem-ber 2010 and has been selected as the EKU Reads book for freshmen orientation cours-es for the past two years.

Th e book challenges the reader to rethink traditional ethical views when it comes to the treatment of animals but also challenges the reader to understand their relationships with other humans.

“I wanted to write a book to appeal to a wide variety of readers,” Herzog said. “It was interesting enough and controversial enough to be read by college freshmen.”

Herzog’s book has been used in high school classes and has even served as a course textbook for a doctoral degree pro-gram.

He hopes to apply themes from his book in the lecture, in addition to using the themes of beauty and complicated human theory. Th e lecture is also doubling as the EKU Reads Keynote Address this year.

Herzog said he’s always enjoyed a broad interest in a variety of subjects, thanks in part to his study abroad during his under-graduate days, when he attended at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.

He was supposed to return to West Vir-ginia after a year of study abroad, but he

chose to fi nish his undergraduate degree in Lebanon. Herzog said the experience helped to set up his approach for thinking broadly when it comes to human culture.

“It was really a shock!” Herzog said. “In some ways, people from other cultures are very diff erent but in other ways they are so similar.”

Herzog’s fi rst connection to Eastern, was when his friend Robert Mitchell took a pro-fessorship here with the Department of Psy-chology and helped develop the animal psy-chology program into what Herzog called one of the best. He said he has since visited Eastern twice. Th is will be his third visit.

He has had an interest in animal ethics and psychology for more than 25 years after he and his wife moved to North Carolina.

“I’ve always been interested in ethics and my wife and I moved into a rural area and two of our neighbors were cockfi ghters,” Herzog said. “Th ey were nice people, fami-ly men, middle class and I wound up writ-ing my doctoral dissertation about the eth-ics behind [cockfi ghting].”

Th e experience got him more interested in morally complicated issues such as ani-mal rights, Herzog said.

“Animals help us look into really big is-sues,” Herzog said. “Th ese are practical is-sues we all face.”

He then gave the example with Kentucky and how we are the horse-racing capital of the world yet many horses die each year be-cause of the practice.

He said he really wants students to un-derstand that it is impossible to be com-pletely morally consistent and that we are actually studying ourselves when we are studying animals because the same ethical problems appear.

Instead of an informal discussion in the library during the afternoon, Herzog is ex-pected to spend part of his afternoon at Eastern meeting with freshmen orientation classes, according to Minh Nguyen, Chau-tauqua lecture coordinator.

Th e Chautauqua lecture will be spon-sored by the Offi ce of First Year Programs, the EKU Reads Committee and the Honors Program.

With new locations like Ollie’s Bar-gain Outlet and older locations such as Madison Garden that are favorites of Eastern students, Richmond continues to prove itself as a college town with stu-dents in mind when it comes to doing business.

The two main parts of town that have businesses for students to shop at are those located on the Eastern Bypass and

those that are in Downtown Richmond. One of the nearest points of interest, the University Shopping Center is home to a new store, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, store that opened in May.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is an ideal lo-cation for college students to shop. It of-fers a variety of name brand items for cheap prices. Ollie’s buys overstocked, package changed, closeouts, irregular items and manufacturer mistakes to sell for reduced prices. All items in Ol-lie’s are in great condition, making the bargains an even better deal. Spending money wisely can be difficult for the av-erage college student, but Ollie’s offers a multitude of items college students

Beta Theta Pi holds football tournament

Blue, 42, set hike! When you hear these words, people automatically think of football. Football, the sport that most every American knows and a sport that people have come to love.

Beta Th eta Pi fraternity is getting ready to put on its annual football tour-nament from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at Eastern’s Intermural Fields. Th e event is open to Eastern’s fraterni-ties and sororities for participation, but anyone can come watch and support any of the teams that are playing.

“It’s about bringing together frats and sororities to compete in a football atmosphere,” said Kyle Sheff er, one of the event chairs.

Th e tournament is for male and fe-male teams to come play fl ag football and the winner, fi rst place runner-up

and second place runner-up receive plaques. For a team to be able to play, each fraternity and sorority must pay $50 to register. Spectators get free ad-mission.

“Th is year Beta expects to raise about $500-600 for our philanthropy,” Sheff er said.

Each fraternity or sorority has a spe-cifi c philanthropic cause they are tied to. Beta Th eta Pi’s philanthropic rela-tionship is with the American Cancer Society, which helps people to research cures for cancer and to fi ght back against the eff ects of the illness.

Th e football tournament coincides with the October celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When you see pink on your TV screen during NFL games, that is to benefi t the American Cancer Society, the same way this tour-nament is trying to locally.

A new way for students to volunteer in the Richmond community and buy aff ord-able furniture has just come to Richmond.

Th e Habitat for Humanity ReStore has relocated from its previous location in Berea to its new location in Richmond right behind Wal-Mart. Th e grand open-ing of the store was Oct. 11.

Th e store is a place to donate used home goods like furniture, paint, and building materials. All of the profi t goes directly toward Habitat for Humanity’s Madison and Clark county chapters.

“Th e new location is huge,” store man-ager Emiliano Canete said. “Th e store is a fresh canvas, we can build it the way we envisioned the store to be. Th e layout is simple and user friendly. We’ve had a lot of good feedback from people [who] shopped in our store before and people that are used to consignment shopping.”

“We moved the store so we could be more centrally located for both Madison and Clark [counties],” Canete said. “Th e bulk of our donors are in Richmond and now we are closer to them.”

Th e store off ers many volunteer oppor-tunities.

“Not everyone is the climb the ladder, hit the hammer type of volunteer,” Canete said. “Not everyone wants to work out in the sun or cold to build houses but they

still want to help the community.”Th e store off ers volunteer positions as

cashier, customer service, phone operator and volunteer in the donation center.

“It’s a great place to volunteer,” Canete said. “It’s a fun, fast-paced atmosphere.”

Besides volunteer opportunities, the store gives Eastern students an aff ordable place to fi nd furniture for apartments and residence halls.

“Students can buy stuff at the begin-ning of the semester for their fi rst apart-ments and then at the end of the year, if they don’t want it anymore, they can ar-range for us to pick it up for free.” Canete said. “ You can come to the store and get a one of a kind piece of furniture that not everyone can get from Ikea. You can even buy paint and add a fresh coat.”

Habitat for Humanity of Madison and Clark counties is responsible for building fi ve to six houses every year. Th e ReStore center is responsible for building one and a half of those houses.

If students want to volunteer at the store, they must apply online or call the main offi ce or store. Th e volunteers will go through an orientation process. Th e website is www.habitatmadisonclark.org. Th e main offi ce phone number is 859-625-9208. Th e ReStore telephone number is 859-353-5556.

“Habitat specializes in working with people with little to know experience,” Canete said.

Th e store is open to the public Wednes-day through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Th e store is open for donation and volunteers on Tuesday and is closed Sun-day and Monday.

senting opinion.“Th e Constitution does not require the

Ethics Administrator to abandon their right to voice an opinion or prohibit dis-semination of a matter discussed in an open meeting.” Moberly said. “Th us, at no time did Mr. Deaton exceed his constitu-tional authority.”

Deaton said that he was not happy with the decision by Student Court, and he feels that he’s no longer welcome in the SGA of-fi ce.

“Part of me wants to appeal, because I feel that this is an injustice,” Deaton said. “But the other part of me doesn’t have the strength to go through another hearing. Th is situation is just a bad place for ev-eryone and has no winners, sure Andrew [Beasley] and the Cabinet won the case, but now the student senators don’t trust them. It looks like the SGA punished the ethics administrator for speaking out.”

Th e case is now in the hands of the Stu-dent Senate. Since they’ve never had an Ethics Administrator get tried in recent memory they are now trying to fi gure out what to do.

Th e Student Senate had the choice of punishing him as a committee chair or a senator.

Th ey decided Tuesday to go with the route of determining his punishment like a senator. Th is means that Executive Vice President Steven Bradford will form a spe-cial committee to decide on a course of ac-tion to take, then Student Senate will vote to approve it, as well as the Executive Cab-inet and the SGA Advisory Board.

Senator Nichole Arbino said this route was the best because it had the least amount of bias present, as the other route would have had Bradford deciding him-self and he had a direct involvement in the original court case.

Th e committee will be formed later this week and will reach a decision of what to do, until then Committee-on-Commit-tees Chair Chris Th urman said Deaton is in “purgatory” in regards to what he can do now.

Deaton said he is not leaving SGA and he will not stop speaking his mind. He still wants to make a diff erence in the student body.

Th e Registered Student Organization (RSO) policy that sparked the court case and ensuing debate was discussed at Tues-day’s meeting.

Arbino has proposed legislation to the Senate to not accept the university policy, but agreed to table discussion on the legis-lation until the next meeting when a rep-resentative from the university can come to the meeting to answer questions from the Student Senators.

Th e art of Japanese wooden sword fi ghting, Kendo, can now be experienced by all Eastern students.

A new student organization, the Kendo Club, started this semester and is looking for more participants.

Th e translation of Kendo means “Th e way of the sword.” It is a style of martial arts involving a bamboo stick called a shi-nai. Similar to fencing, two people spar, but instead of a stabbing motion to gain a point, the objective is to strike your op-ponent.

Kendo Club President Austin Clark de-scribes Kendo as “Sword fi ghting under a strict guideline.” Matches can go on for diff erent amounts of time depending on how many points the participants are set to achieve. Vice President Corwin McCol-lum said he has always been interested in martial arts and when he saw and experi-enced Kendo for the fi rst time, he thought it was really cool. McCollum said he en-joys kendo because it takes him out of his element.

Clark said he enjoys Kendo because it’s quick and requires a lot of endurance. He also said that they were introduced to it by their sensei.

Th e instructor for the Kendo Club is

Michael Rich, assistant professor of Japa-nese. Because the club has only had a few practices, Rich is still training the mem-bers to be their best. Even though the club is new, 30 people showed up to the fi rst practice. Clark said the amount of interest in Kendo Club was surprising.

Surav Shrestha, a member of the club, said he thought kendo sounded cool and decided to join. He hopes the club grows bigger and better and becomes ready for competition. Shrestha uses kendo as a way to vent frustration and stay active. He compared Kendo to two straight hours of cardio.

Members of the Kendo Club use it not only for competition and stress relief, but also as a way to workout.

Clark said he has a clear vision for the future of Kendo at Eastern.

“We want to be well established at Eastern, we want to be well known around campus, and we want to start competing,” Clark said.

Th e Kendo Club has been invited to its fi rst competition in February. McCollum said the goal for the fi rst competition is to perform well. Th ey don’t know what level of diffi culty to expect from their compe-tition but they are eager to see what’s in store.

If students are interested in joining the Kendo Club, they can contact President Austin Clark at Austin_Clark72@my-mail.eku.edu or visit their Facebook page: Eastern Kentucky University Kendo Club. Practices are from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m on Fri-days in the Weaver Gymnasium.

need for their dorm room, school sup-plies or personal food stock. Shopping at Ollie’s can save students money that can be used for other things like tuition and gas money.

“They have a wide variety of items. At Ollie’s, you can get everything you would ever need with even better cus-tomer service than Wal-Mart,” said freshman Domonique Elmore, 19, a pub-lic accounting major from Shelbyville.

Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is only a half-mile walk from Powell Student Center and is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In the same shop-ping complex, McAli-ster’s Deli is a restau-rant for students on campus. McAlister’s offers a variety of foods, such as soups, salads, various sandwiches and baked potatoes and desserts. Some say it’s sim-ilar to Panera, but its proximity to cam-pus makes it convenient for students without a car. McAlister’s Deli is open Monday to Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Another store, Orange Leaf, is a self-serve yogurt shop where students can cre-ate their own personal treat concoction.

Everyone has his or her favorite fla-vor. Freshman Bryce Stephens, 18, an elementary education major from Win-chester said, “Three words, and one isn’t even a word: Cookies n’ Cream.”

Orange Leaf is open Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Downtown Richmond also offers many businesses within walking dis-tance that appeal to college students.

Purdy’s Coffee Co. is located on West Main Street and is just under a mile walk from Powell Student Center. Restoring a part of historic downtown Richmond, Purdy’s provides a vintage atmosphere to enjoy coffee, sandwiches and baked goods. Purdy’s is the definition of the stereotypical coffee shop where many Eastern students enjoy a relaxing break alone or with a group.

“Richmond really needed a coffee shop downtown for EKU students…With

great owners, and awesome service…I recommend this place for anyone need-ing a positive atmosphere where you can always see friendly and familiar faces, and treat them to a nice cup of joe,” said locals who raved online about the addi-tion to downtown Richmond.

When the campus Starbucks is closed, Purdy’s is a substitute for a cup of coffee for the day. Purdy’s Coffee Co. is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cosmic Oasis, also located on West Main Street just under a mile walk from the Powell Student Center, is a more

modern location that provides food and entertainment for all types of gamers. Guests can enjoy new and traditional Amer-ican food, coffee, bub-ble tea, Jones Soda and Ale-8. People can pur-chase trading cards, board games, dice and more. Cosmic Oasis also purchases col-lectibles, such as toys and action figures. Weekly gaming events

are scheduled for all to enjoy, as well as a free opportunity to play board and card games in their library with friends. Cos-mic Oasis is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Madison Garden, located on Madison Avenue, under a mile walk from Powell Student Center, has been an important Richmond tradition to locals for more than 30 years. An ideal place for college alumni and current college students, Madison Garden offers a variety of food such as pizza, burgers, steak and wings.

With 11 high-definition flat screen TVs, darts, a pool table and live music offered on Friday and Saturday nights, students typically gather with friends and have a good time.

“If you’re looking for a place that has a big selection of food, then you need to come to Madison Garden. This place makes you feel like you’re with friends, and the owners will usually come out and check on you,” said one customer’s review on the restaurant’s website, mad-isongarden.net.

Madison Garden is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.

PPERSPECTIVESERSPECTIVES

Student government should have been found guilty of wasting everyone’s time.

In the case involving Michael Deaton, ethics administrator, and Andrew Beasley, chief of staff , Eastern’s Student Government association eff ectively turned an ant hill into something from the Appalachians.

Beasley v. Deaton is a classic case of all parties being in the wrong and no one know-ing when to stop throwing around blame.

Th e dispute fl ared up over a policy change the university was proposing to pro-tect itself in case of suits. Th e university is looking to remove an anti-discrimination clause from the Registered Student Organi-zation (RSO) contract to allow student or-ganizations more latitude in selecting their members.

SGA was wrong in trying to rubber stamp the policy change. Th e scuttlebutt was that the policy was too complicated to explain, but that is no reason to keep the Senate in the dark. And if the policy is that complicated, perhaps it needs to be revisited or be subjected to more dialogue, not less.

Mike Reagle, student aff airs associate vice president, said the policy would allow stu-dent organizations to choose their own lead-ership, which would, for example, prevent non-Christians from joining a Christian or-ganization and taking a leadership role.

In order for an organization to receive state funding or use university facilities, it

must comply with university rules, which means the organization cannot discrimi-nate against others on matters of race, re-ligion or gender. Most likely, the organi-zation’s membership wouldn’t vote for someone who didn’t espouse its own values, and if not, that’s on them.

Yes the new policy is diff erent, but ex-plaining it to senators, old or new, gives peo-ple the right to choose their own leadership and reduces liability to the university, is all that needs to be said.

From the Student Court opinion, only one justice got it right. Justice Candace Moberly said she dissented to the majori-ty ruling because she believed there was no proper investigation that could have been performed because there was no procedure. She also noted that if there was sensitive material being discussed, the executive cab-inet should have gone into a closed session, and thus he did not violate any constitution-al authority.

By complaining about Deaton, Beasley tried to protect SGA and the executive cab-inet. But in doing so he dragged the larger SGA body into a bigger mess.

Whether or not Deaton was in the wrong, a public trial was not in the best in-terest of the university, its students or stu-dent government. Th is university’s role not-withstanding, this case should serve as an example of when its best to handle family is-

sues within. Why? I’d wager that it’s because the tri-

al of Deaton essentially amplifi ed the com-plaints (many of which are misinformed) about the policy change. It gave the dissent-ers a stage from which to voice their poorly researched gripes.

Th e circus surrounding this issue has led to more than just bad PR. Rumors and mis-information immediately began to swarm around the proposed policy change and SGA.

A Facebook group was started in support of Deaton, with people galvanized against SGA and whatever it was standing for. Stu-dent trials are more poorly attended than SAC concerts, but in this instance seating for the hearing was limited because of the amount of people that turned out in sup-port of Deaton. While the group overdra-matized the scope of the proceedings, it did garner public support and arrange a protest of sorts.

Dissenters have clung to the word “dis-crimination” and made the issue about oth-er fairness issues, regardless of if this is ac-tually going to aff ect other groups.

And then there’s Deaton. He tried to do the right thing by informing the Student Senate of the issue. If he was wrong, it wasn’t anything that deserved the resulting level of scrutiny and hype. It’s easy to see why he had support, because SGA refused to clarify

the issue and acted as if it was above allow-ing dialogue on the issue.

Perhaps the new policy change would be confusing to some, but it is better to have public discourse on a topic rather than turn a potentially small issue into something much larger. It’s also better to have people informed on the topic explain the issue rath-er than information being spread through backchannels and social media.

Th e arrogance exhibited by SGA made it look like a seedy enterprise that warranted an anonymous revolution of students in Guy Fawkes masks. In reality, a simple discus-sion could have cleared the air.

For his eff orts, Deaton is eff ectively “in purgatory,” said Chris Th urman, the Sen-ate’s committee on committee’s chair. Th is means Deaton isn’t doing anything as the ethics chair and is awaiting his punishment.

By the way, Senate created a special com-mittee to create a process to come up with a process for handling future violations of this ilk. Once the process is created and ap-proved, the Senate will be able to mete out a punishment to Deaton. Considering the possible outcomes are a slap on the wrist, probation, or impeachment and removal for offi ce, it seems like this is all a big waste.

Rather than seeking to impeach and re-move Deaton, perhaps SGA should consider what’s best for all parties instead of trying to control the message and the messenger.

Letters to the Editor

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if The Progress has turned into a political newspa-per?

Plastering the often misused and misun-derstood, “Don’t Tread on Me” flag on the front page of the paper tends to give that im-pression. In this reader’s point of view, average readers who are seeking objective reporting by journalists in-training have consequently been led to believe that Eastern supports the newly established and struggling Tea Party’s agendas.

The question I have for the editor is wheth-er or not it is appropriate to have Eastern em-ployees promoting political views? More spe-cifically, promoting the political views that ironically caused (or at least influenced) the government shutdown that affected the VA of-fice in the first place?

Nowhere in the article discussing the gov-ernment shutdown was there any mention that the actual agents that were protested (incom-petent politicians with a Tea Party influence) were in fact the actual agents that promoted the removal of the services that were halted.

I would like to stress that by no means am I degrading or questioning the expressed views that those on the front page promoted. I am in fact acknowledging their right to free speech and press by stressing the importance of ob-jectivity so others are not misled through hon-est, or dishonest means.

Protesting those memorial closures that happened so politicians can position them-selves for rigged district elections is beside the point. The primary complaint that I would like to raise is that the “Government shutdown hits close to home” missed the mark once a political point of view was expressed (or at least acknowledged) as Eastern’s position on the matter.

If the article intended to stress the effects of the closure on the VA office, why was there no VA flag or insignia? How come the political

views of those protesting trumped the objec-tivity of your reporter (no offense Jacob Blair)?

Again, how would you respond to readers’ complaints that the closed minded political rhetoric of a minority of the minority party in American politics was plastered across the Progress’s front page?

Where is the association with EKU, outside of its identification and apparent connection with Tea Party activists?

Where is the equal coverage for those who acknowledge the fact that their memorials (which should serve as a symbol of our pride and never be shutdown) were closed down be-cause the people whose flag they promoted hates our African American President simply because he is black and he and his administra-tion are trying to fix the problems that exist in our poor example of an advanced democracy?

Am I, and other readers, to assume that Eastern’s position is more concerned with erasing 200 years of progress (no pun intend-ed) and catering to a shrinking population of more traditional compatriots who have open-ly admitted that destroying our existing civ-il promises is more important than allowing our nation to adjust to a changing demograph-ic and cultural dynamic?

On a final note, I would like to mention that I am in full support of all the civil liber-ties and rights that are protected by the Bill of Rights, the foundation of our Constitution. Being a lifelong pupil of history and human-ity dictates my support, however, I cannot stand silent when defining political views on the front page of our proud paper trumps ob-jective news reporting. i.e. promoting the Tea Party on the news coverage that detailed Vet-eran Affairs matters was a poor choice!

Sincerely and with best wishes for all Colo-nels and Americans (native and non).

It’s often been said that the only people who care and are interested in cross-country are the parents and friends of the athletes. Here is my beef with the sports folks at your fi ne newspaper. Th ey do cover all sports, but regard-less of how well Coach Rick Erdmann’s cross-country men and women do, they get a tiny little article on the back page down in the corner.

I am not being negative at all toward the other sports team at Eastern, but as an example, football is still playing in this subdivision league, formerly 1-AA, against powerhouses like Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay. Volleyball does the same, as does soccer.

Guess what folks, the cross-country men and women are in Madison, Wisc. on homecoming weekend. Th e 16th ranked men are taking on 16 of the top 30 teams in the United States.

How many of your sports folks have a clue who Rick Erdmann is? Well he is the head coach of the men and women. His resume includes the following:

• 34 years as head coach• 58 time OVC Coach of the year (men and women)• 44 OVC cross-country championships• 17 Track Championships (women)• 4 Track Championships (men)Under Erdman, the cross-country women have won 26 championships, in-

cluding 19 straight at one period from 1981 thru 1999. Th e men have won 18 cross-country OVC.Championships

In closing, I feel it’s a bit unfair to this amazing program to put them on the “back burner” while other athletic teams get the headlines for a “top” ten against inferior and mediocre opponents. Start showing cross-country some love!

Pulitzer-winning cartoonist spits wit and showcases his art

President Benson’s big brother, Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Steve Benson, visited Eastern on Wednesday, Oct. 16, where his cartoons and commen-tary generated laughs from the audience.

Benson gave his closing lecture at 5 p.m. in the Campbell Building. His art had been on display in the Landing Gallery from Sept. 30 to Oct. 17. President Benson in-troduced his brother and spoke about his brother’s drive and character.

“He sticks to his convictions and he sticks by his word and stands by his work,” President Benson said.

Th e focus on Steve Benson’s lecture cen-tered on the role of editorial cartoonists as watchdogs for the public.

“It’s the job of the editorial cartoonist to be a check mate if you will, or at least a check on the ridiculousness, pomposi-ty and insanity that we see in public gov-ernment today,” Benson said. “Our job is to comfort the affl icted and affl ict the com-fortable.”

He explained how editorial cartoons can serve as commentary on controversial and important debates and how visual im-agery can be as impactful as written word.

He gave several examples of responses he had received in the 30 years he worked for the Arizona Republic newspaper, shar-ing several email, letters and phone calls he received over the years.

His favorite came from a subscriber who phoned in to tell Benson that after seeing his editorial cartoon she wanted to “cancel her prescription.”

He mentioned another angry reader that sent and email saying “looking at your work it’s hard to believe you beat out 100

million sperm.”Benson explained that passionate re-

sponses could serve as a cue that his work is making an impact.

“Editorial cartoonists are the Prepara-tion-H on the hot-seat of the government,” Benson said. “Our job is to provoke and to catalyze.”

He went on to discuss how editorial car-toons have had a signifi cant role in Ameri-can history. He showed some of the work by Th omas Nast, one of America’s fi rst edi-torial cartoonists who created such iconic imagery as the democratic elephant, the re-publican donkey and Uncle Sam.

Benson also showcased several of his personal works, which included several re-

cent pieces and some pieces that did not make it to print.

He used examples with simple imagery to explain that it cartoon does not have to be busy to convey a message.

John Wade, dean of the college of Arts and Sciences, was invited up front for the closing portion of Benson’s lecture. Benson drew a caricature of Wade for the audience.

Wade said he was selected for the draw-ing prior to the lecture.

“Someone planted the seed,” Wade said. Benson took a few questions from the

audience and asked Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Joel Pett of the Lexington Har-old Leader to answer some questions as well.

Michael Randolph, 54, lecturer for the communication and broadcasting and electronic medial departments at Eastern asked how the Internet has impacted edito-rial cartooning.

Benson explained how many editorial cartoonists are looking for alternative ways to continue their work.

Joel Pett said many people are unaware that reading online may not be a “greener” alternative due to the enormous amount of energy needed to maintain electronic tow-ers and servers.

Benson also lectured a class in Eastern’s art and design department were he dis-cussed basic elements of art as well as how to create polished editorial cartoon.

A COLONEL’S HOMECOMINGA COLONEL’S HOMECOMINGStudents and alumni come together for a weekend to celebrate Eastern’s annual family reunion

Homecoming weekend may have been a wet one this year but it wasn’t quite a rain out. Alumni, Greeks and other Eastern students braved the elements to cheer on the Colonels.

The traditional fashion show structure was shat-tered Friday night as the Minority Collegiate Connec-tions fashion show featured models, apparel, and mu-sic of all different styles.

The show, which had O’Donnell hall filled to ca-pacity, was hosted by the Minority Collegiate Connec-tions (MCC) and Eastern’s Young Minority Alumni (YMA). The fashion show entitled The 7 Deadly Sins was broken up into 4 different scenes. The first scene was sloth, followed by avarice and gluttony, envy and wrath, and the last scene was pride. The sins were rep-resented through the actions and clothing worn by the models.

MCC President ,Brooke Butler, was in charge of di-recting the event.

“Planning and directing the fashion show was a wonderful experience,” Butler said. “I’ve modeled in a few shows myself, so being on the other side, behind the scenes brought a new perspective for me. It was tough but very exciting.”

The scenes confused many in attendance because there were only four scenes for the seven deadly sins. Butler said it was explained in the introduction that scenes two and three represented two sins. Lust was supposed to be the opening scene, but Butler said it was cut at the last second due to an emergency with some of the models.

The most interesting part of the fashion show was the path the models took to the stage. Unlike a tradi-tional single-file runway, the models utilized the en-tire stage of O’Donnell Hall.

The models usually walked onto the stage from op-posite sides and crossed diagonally to the front cor-ners of the stage where they would stop and pose or rock back and forth to the music. Models also used the aisles of the auditorium during the show. In between scenes, some of the male models would entertain the

Paranormalist Chris Moon will bring his talents for ghost hunting and com-municating with the dead to Eastern this week.

Moon, who said on his website that his fi rst para-normal experience oc-curred when he was just 7-years-old, will be show-ing off his abilities at 9 p.m. in the Keen Johnson Build-ing on Tuesday, Oct. 29. According to his website, some of the paranormal ex-periences that Moon says he saw included objects dis-appearing and reappear-ing and doors opening and closing on their own.

Moon started taking his ghost hunting and psy-chic abilities more seriously when he left his music ca-reer behind in 2004 to start connecting people with their deceased loved ones.

From fi ddle playing to interpretive danc-ing, Eastern’s Got Talent fi lled the room with excitement and loads of energy last Wednesday night in Brock Auditorium.

Eastern’s Got Talent set the bar high with students who were chosen to perform in front of audience members and judges as they showcased diff erent talents.  Th e idea is a campus version of NBC’s America’s Got Talent hosted by the Resident Life Coun-cil (RLC) and Student Activities Council (SAC).

With 53 acts auditioning, RLC narrowed the number to 22 tough acts to perform

Wednesday as students sang with their fi d-dles, pianos, banjos, guitars and their origi-nal songs while others rapped and did in-terpretative dancing or hula hooping with a twist.

Th e judges and the audience could vote for their favorite act on Twitter with hashtags, the hash tag listed beside the acts name in the brochure @EasternSGA.

Th e atmosphere was fun and the audi-ence members cheered on their favorite performances through the night.

Some of the performances were atypi-cal for talent shows, which mesmerized the audience members.  One of the acts, per-formed by Chloe Golding, sang in French. Another participant, Kimberly Prejeant,

Students can fi nd ways to party safe at Eastern’s annual rockSOBERfest. Th is event has games, activities and free T-shirts while the Health Education Action Team (H.E.A.T.) teaches fun and reliable information about the eff ects of alcohol at 7 p.m., Oct. 23 in Powell Underground.

Student Life will work with H.E.A.T for this year’s rockSOBERfest which will teach students about the dangers of alcohol and how it impacts their success in and out of college with games, activities and free food.

Each year, the event attracts students with an evening of games and activities which provide information about alcohol responsibility and highlights the dangers of binge drinking, drinking and driving, and alcohol poisoning.

Health Educator of Student Health Ser-vices, Meghan Scott, said she anticipates a nice crowd.

RockSOBERfest is gearing up with vari-ous games for the night with blocks games, Big Wheel tricycles and walk the line with the use of drunk goggles as well as having the DUI stimulator as the main attraction. Any student who participates in the games will receive a free T-shirt.

Student Life will also provide pizza, music and mocktails (non-alcoholic bev-erages) to help promote ways that will help enhance students’ knowledge about the danger of alcohol.

Students will be shown how to party safe and will be encouraged to be aware of the dangers of alcohol. Th e crew of H.E.A.T. and Student Life hope that this year’s rock-SOBERfest will impact students with the knowledge of alcohol consumption and how it can aff ect their everyday lives.

RockSOBERfest encourages students to attend regardless of their drinking prefer-ences.

“Th is event is great for everyone regard-less of your drinking status,” Scott said. “Th e information is valuable and the expe-rience is fun.”

Th e educational games will target how alcohol can aff ect students physically, men-tally and emotionally as the H.E.A.T crew hopes that the games and information in-fl uences students to make better decisions when it comes to alcohol.

With the help of Student Life, the peer educators of H.E.A.T organized rockSO-BERfest stressing the importance of alco-hol use with revolutionary ways to substi-tute alcohol.

Interim Assistant Director of Student Life Kayla Sergent said this is a good way for students to learn about the dangers of alcohol but still have fun.

“Honestly, it shows students that there are other ways to have fun instead of going out and drinking,” Sergent said. “We pro-vide the pizza and H.E.A.T does the rest.”

H.E.A.T will not record any data for this event but will collect overall data for the campus in regards to alcohol use. A survey for that will be administrated later this semester by H.E.A.T.

H.E.A.T is a peer education program that focuses on giving students knowledge and facts regarding health issues. Th eir idea is not to force ideas, rules or regula-tions but to help students make better and informed decisions by equipping them with knowledge about their health.

RockSOBERfest takes place during Na-tional Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week and is free to all students.

To fi nd out more about rockSOBERfest or more information about H.E.A.T, email meghan.scott@eku.edu.

hula hooped in the dark with a light up hula hoop.“[Th ey’re] very diff erent acts,” said Gideon Work-

man, 18, a chemistry freshman from Belfry. “Chloe Golding singing in French and the hula hoop girl was diff erent.”

Zachariah Class, 19, an occupational science freshman from Wilder said he thought Prejeant’s performance stole the spotlight with her light-up hula hoop.   

“I liked it a lot,” Class said. “Th e hula hoop [per-formance] was amazing.”        

Other more traditional acts entertained as well. Kaeli Fletcher’s performance and presence capti-vated the audience while her vocals were spot on.

Th e night went on with Hakeem Moore rapped his original song which had the majority of the au-dience members, especially females, cheering for him. Th e Country music trio of Aaron Fore, An-drew Fore and Jerry Hockensmith received a stand-ing ovation for their country performance with a banjo and guitars and country attire.

Ceci Seivwright and Kristen Gregory added fl a-vor to Eastern’s Got Talent with their interpretative dancing. And Andrew Buchler sang Fall Out Boy’s hit song Sugar Were Going Down with a piano.

Th e most memorable act of the night was Bran-dy Neelly. Th e audience was captivated by her pow-erful performance, including Chad Wagner, 18, a psychology freshman from Alexandria.

“I thought she was magnifi cent,” Wagner said. “[She’s] more than a cute face and [it] makes sense she was on American Idol.”

Although some acts stood out more than others, the performances were well received by the audi-ence. First place winners, Kaeli Flecther, sponsored by RLC, won a $200 shopping spree while Hakeem Moore, sponsored by SAC, also won a $200 shop-ping spree. Second place, Brandy Neelly won a $100 shopping spree while third place, Chole Golding re-cieved a $50 dollar shopping spree.

audience by lip-syncing or actually singing/rap-ping songs.

The show was expected to start at 7:00p.m. but actually started at 7:45p.m. The first scene, titled Sloth, had apparel described by the directors as lazy and chill but confident explaining that you can still be sexy in sweatpants. The scene high-lighted sweatpants, denim shorts, loose fitting and cropped tops and a variety of printed leg-gings. All of the models walked in four-inch heels or higher without missing a step.

One impressive moment was when a mod-el strutted straight to the front of the stage. She stopped and looked out into the audience with a fierce expression on her face. She did a little dance and then turned and strutted backstage. As she turned, some of the audience was un-aware, but the straps on her six-inch heels were unhooked. There was no way to tell this by her walk or demeanor. The model rocked the stage despite the shoe malfunction.

The second scene, Avarice and Gluttony, fea-tured apparel described by the directors as over-indulgent, big and bold. A gold trench coat, glit-tery platforms and cocktail dresses were all staples in the scene but what got the crowd really going was the male model who walked out in an over-sized faux-fur leopard coat. His outfit clear-ly expressed the definition of overindulgent.

The next scene, Envy and Wrath, featured all male models. The scene started with the models dancing to Jay-z’s Tom Ford. The models were all dressed in three-piece suits. The scene went on to feature the models in black vests and red mas-querade masks then transitioned to a preppy look with Sperry’s and khaki pants paired with but-ton-ups.

The last scene was Pride; the directors said the scene represented the independent woman and underdog. The scene started out with six mod-

els in white button ups and colored denim pants. The models danced to Ne-Yo’s Miss Independent. Little black dresses and Blazers dominated this scene as the models strutted to girl power songs like Beyonce’s Grown Woman and Upgrade.

The experience was unlike any other fashion show but starting on time and cleaning up the performances between each scene could’ve im-proved the show. Many in the audience felt the lip-syncing and rapping were too crude for the mixed audience of students, relatives and kids.

“I didn’t like the performances they had [in be-tween the scenes],” said Evanyhoney Romero, 18, freshman learning and behavioral disorders ma-jor from Louisville. “They had [curse] words in the songs and there were kids in the audience. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Other than the performance in the middle it was really good. You could tell they worked hard.”

Besides the minor downsides, the show was a success and was more than the audience had ex-pected.

“[The show] brought a lot of different things together like fashion and music,” Romero said. “I thought they were going to walk down the aisles and walk all the way back, but it was way more fun and way easier to watch than going over there just to see clothes.”

The abnormal structure of the show was re-freshing to the audience.

“I liked that nobody looked the same, every-one was an individual; they modeled the way they wanted to model,” said Domonique Richards, 18, freshman, music education major from Lexing-ton.

Not only was the fashion show a new experi-ence to the audience, but it also had an impact on the models as well.

“I wanted to be in the fashion show because I felt like it would give me more personali-ty, make me more outgoing, let me get to know more people and I just thought it would be fun,” said Travasha Stone, 18, a freshman child devel-opment major from Louisville. “It gave me a lot more confidence.”

In 2007, Moon attended a Ghost Chasers Weekend Conference in Savannah, Ga. Moon said it was there that he realized he had a tal-ent for connecting people with spirits that have passed on. Moon said he uses a Spirit Telephone to help him connect with these spirits.

His mother Paulette, who is also a psychic, will accompany Moon on his visit to Eastern.

Th is will be the third time Moon has per-formed at Eastern. He will meet at Brock Audito-rium and will take a select group of students on a tour around campus for a ghost hunt.

The Taste of Richmond Fall Festival will take place from 2-5 p.m. Oct. 26 in the Richmond Centre.

The Taste of Richmond Festival is a large event featuring live performanc-es and many vendors who set up booths containing food and other promotional merchandise.

The Taste of Richmond Spring Festi-val in June saw a large turnout of around 1,400 people. Executive Director Mendi Goble anticipates an even larger crowd

for the Fall Festival due to the fun nature and Halloween theme.

“Kids love to dress up and are always looking for a reason to be silly,” Goble said.

The performers this year are also con-tributing to the anticipated large turn-out. Corey Kenton will be performing at 2 p.m. followed by the Bent Penny Band who performs at 2:30 p.m.

Corey Kenton, 24, from Richmond is a rising country star with his single, She’s My Country. Kenton taught him-self how to play guitar and completed his first performance in October 2009. Ken-ton has performed at Eastern multiple

times over the past four years and has de-veloped a growing fan base. Kenton has also opened for Bobby Osborne and plays twice a month at the Legendary Austin City Saloon.

The Bent Penny Band was formed in December 2009 and is made up of family and friends who share a passion for mu-sic. The band focuses on tight four-part harmonies combined with electric guitar and piano leads.

Along with the live performances, there are also ongoing costume contests for children up to 12-years-old. The con-tests are being judged by Joel and Amy Aalberts with prizes awarded to first, sec-

ond and third places. The prizes include tickets to the EKU Center for the Arts for upcoming events and others sponsored by Community Trust Bank and ERA Pro-fessional Hometown Services.

There is even a costume contest for pets being judged by Dazzling Dogs Pet Spa and For Paws Unleashed with the winners announced at 5 p.m.

The taste tickets for a Taste of Rich-mond are 12 for $10 or single tickets for $1. The tickets will only be sold at the event. For questions and more informa-tion concerning the Taste of Richmond, contact the Richmond Chamber of Com-merce at 859-623-1720.

Despite being outshot 18-14 by Austin Peay, Eastern’s off ense put on a strong show. Donnelly led the Colonels’ off ense with four shots, three on goal. Smith was right behind her with four shots, one on goal.

Both teams’ off enses started the game strong. Th omas, Smith and Donnelly all fi red shots in the fi rst 20 minutes. Austin Peay responded with two of shots of its own.

Eastern took the lead in the 33rd minute when senior Brittany Nomady touched the ball to the middle of the penalty box. Th om-as sank the ball in the bottom right corner of the goal.

Austin Peay did not enjoy getting scored on. Just two minutes after Eastern’s goal, a cross into the middle of Eastern’s penalty

box allowed the Governors to head the ball past Colonel goalkeeper, sophomore Erika Wolfer.

Th e score remained tied until the 49th minute, when Donnelly crossed the ball right past Austin Peay’s goalkeeper to Smith, who knocked it in.

Th e Governors responded in the 58th minute by rocketing a shot from 15 yards out past Wolfer to once again tie the game.

Th e Colonels took the lead for the last time in the 66th minute after Donnel-ly barely scored a goal. Her shot from 25 yards out bounced off the crossbar to land just behind the goal line. Eastern’s forwards and Austin Peay’s goalkeeper battled for the ball right at the net, thinking that the ball bounced out. A whistle from the referee let both teams know that Donnelly’s shot went in, sealing the win for the Colonels.

“We stayed patient, we didn’t force it,” Donnelly said. “We were so focused on scor-

ing goals that they weren’t coming. We fo-cused on playing as a team and it kinda let itself happen.”

Just like with the fi rst two goals scored against them, Austin Peay’s off ense launched an aggressive counterattack. Th e Governors kept possession of the ball in the last 20 minutes mostly in Eastern’s half of the fi eld. Seniors Lauren Fant and Katie Col-lar led Eastern’s defense, backed up by junior Paige Larkin and freshman Mikayla Brillon.

“I think we learned our lesson from the fi rst two [goals],” Fant said. “We knew we had to stay strong. We couldn’t let them get another goal.”

Th e Colonels managed to hold Austin Peay to four shots in the fi nal part of the game, all saved by Wolfer.

Barnes said she was expecting to have trouble with Austin Peay’s off ense.

“Th ey have a really high powered off ense, so we knew there was gonna be lots of goals

in the game,” she said. “Th e fact that our team has stepped up in the attacking third, and fi nally putting goals in the back of the net the last two games, is great. It’s a testa-ment to how hard they’ve worked all sea-son that we’re putting it together at the right time.”

Wolfer played all 90 minutes in goal, making a season-high 10 saves.

Th e win came on Senior Day, where East-ern’s seniors on the team were honored for their time with the Colonels.

“It’s amazing,” Donnelly said. “To get six points in the weekend, especially senior weekend, homecoming weekend, is a huge deal. It’s hard to do.”

Th e Colonels, now 4-10-2 (3-3-1 OVC), will play its last home game at 4 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25, against Belmont University. East-ern will fi nish the weekend at 2 p.m., Sun-day, Oct. 27, on the road at Tennessee Tech University.

(11-12, 4-4 OVC) 3-1 Oct. 19 to continue its winning streak. Th e Colonels defeated the Game-cocks by scores of 20-25, 25-16, 25-19 and 27-25.

Edmond led Eastern once again with 17 kills. Plagens fol-lowed with 15 and Boyer add-ed 14. Ott fi nished with 31 digs. Edmond added 18 digs and sophomore Mallory Moff at re-corded 18 digs of her own. Cvel-bar led the Colonels again with 36 assists.

After a 5-1 run, the Game-cocks led Eastern by fi ve points in the fi rst set. After a Jackson-ville State kill and Eastern error, the Gamecocks won the fi rst set.

Th e Colonels grabbed the lead from Jacksonville State in the second set with an 11-2 run. Eastern took the victory for set two after capitalizing on a Jack-sonville State error.

Eastern posted four early points in set three and several errors from Jacksonville State moved the Colonels further ahead to grab the win for the set.

After the Colonels held a 17-10 lead, Jacksonville State retali-ated with an 8-3 run of its own. Th e Gamecocks came within

two points of Eastern before the Colonels battled back to a 24-20 lead. Jacksonville State posted four more points to tie the score. Th e Colonels grabbed the fi nal set after a Gamecock error and kill by Edmond.

Northern Kentucky Eastern fi nished its three-

game home stand with a 3-1 vic-tory against Northern Kentucky University (8-15, 3-7 OVC) on Oct. 22. Th e Colonels fi nished with scores of 25-19, 25-16, 23-25 and 25-16.

“Today was amazing,” Ed-mond said. “I think we played really well because every sin-gle thing we did was in a sys-tem. Our defense was great and we had our defense working [so] our setter could set a great of-fense. It gave a lot of openings for us to put the balls down.

Sophomore Rachel Vick add-ed that when the Colonels kept a high tempo, the team couldn’t be stopped.

Edmond led Eastern with 20 kills. Vick added 16 kills while Plagens added 11. Ott record-ed 23 digs for Eastern while Ed-mond posted 22 of her own. Cvelbar led the Colonels with 50 assists. Eastern out-blocked Northern Kentucky 11-5.

Eastern held the lead in set

one until the Norse pushed back to tie the game 8-8. Th e two teams battled back and forth then Eastern grabbed a big lead. Northern battled back but was unable to hold the Colonels down.

In set two, the Norse snatched an early 5-0 lead over the Colonels, but Eastern fought back and grabbed the set.

Eastern held a large eight- point lead over Northern go-ing into the third set. Howev-er, Norse battled back to tie the score 23-23. After an Eastern er-ror, Northern took the fi nal set, 25-23.

“I think we were frustrated with ourselves because we knew that we should’ve fi nished that game,” Vick said. “But we took off a couple points near the end of that set, so we were frustrat-ed but I think that motivated us to come out even stronger in the fourth set.”

Th e Colonels led the bulk of the fi nal set and fi nished the fourth set with a 25-16 lead over Northern.

Th e three match winning streak puts Eastern’s record to 12-12, 4-4 OVC.

Eastern heads back on the road to compete against South-east Missouri State University at 7 p.m. Th ursday, Oct. 24.

Eastern’s cross-country teams split up over the weekend with the men’s team competing in the Wisconsin Adidas Invi-tational and the women’s team competing in the NCAA Pre-Nationals on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Th e men’s team fi n-ished 10th out of 35 teams with 332 points at the Wisconsin Adidas Invi-tational. Th e Colonels, ranked No. 16, defeated No. 14 University of Texas and No. 12 Indiana Uni-versity.

Senior Soufi ane Bou-chikhi was the highlight for the men’s team. Bouchikhi placed 5th out of 287 in the 8K race with a time of 23:27. He was just one second behind the fourth place fi nisher. Bouchikhi’s eff orts have earned

him his third Adidas Ohio Valley Confer-ence Male Cross Country Runner of the Week honor this fall.

Senior Wade Meddles had the second-best results for Eastern. He placed 32nd with a time of 23:53. Freshman Ambrose Maritim fi nished 60th with a time of 24:07.

Th e last two of Eastern’s scorers, juniors Th ijs Nijhuis (100th/24:22) and Ole Hes-selbjerg (135th/24:33), placed much farther back than the top three. Head Coach Rick Erdmann said the gap between the top scorers and the last two is what Eastern is struggling with the most.

“Our four, fi ve and six guys, we need to get them up,” Erdmann said. “More com-petitive. North Carolina had four guys in front of our fourth guy.”

As a result of the men’s team’s eff orts, Eastern regained its top spot in the NCAA Southeast Region after beating the Univer-sity of North Carolina, who placed 11th. North Carolina defeated Eastern at the University of Virginia/Panorama Farms

Invitational earlier this year. Multiple ACC teams, such as North Carolina, Virginia and Duke now trail the Colonels in the re-gional rankings.

Northern Arizona University (ranked No. 3 nationally) won the event with a score of 121. Th e invitational’s lineup was tight, with 19 nationally-ranked teams competing.

Th e women’s team had a rough time at the NCAA Pre-Nationals after placing 42 out of 49 teams with a score of 983.

Sophomore Ashley Svec was the top fi nisher for the women’s team. She placed 95th out of 340 runners in the 6K race with a time of 21:24.50. Sophomore Ceci-le Chevillard (142 /21:45.90), senior Una Britton (149 /21:48.30), freshman Madison Zeitz (297/22:55.81) and junior Ann Reddin (302/23:01.43) rounded out Eastern’s scor-ers.

Erdmann traveled with the men’s team while the women’s team competed in the NCAA Pre-Nationals and said he was dis-

appointed with how the women’s team per-formed.

“Th ere were numbered teams that we had beaten at Virginia that beat us,” he said. “Our poor performance has moti-vated these OVC teams that probably for a long time were thinking ‘We can’t beat these guys’ and now, they’re looking at them ‘Well, maybe we can.’ Psychological-ly, that gives the other teams in the OVC the edge.”

Georgetown University won the event with a score of 117. Eastern dropped one spot to No. 7 in the NCAA Southeast Re-gion rankings.

Th e women’s team competed without Eastern’s top runner, junior Ann Eason, who did not race due to problems with her back. Erdmann said he did not know the extent of the injury or if Eason will have to sit out any future events.

Both teams return in two weeks at the OVC Championships on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Morehead State University.

“It’s awesome knowing if we go three-and-out, or turn the ball over, they can give us the ball back,” McClain said. “Credit to those guys, coaching staff and players for pre-paring like that. It shows on Saturdays and we ap-preciate them a lot.”

Eastern set its usual tempo on the fi rst drive. Th e off ense ran the foot-ball down the fi eld, even-tually leading to a touch-down run by McClain.

Eastern had an event-ful start to the second half. Th e Colonels start-ed with a fumble. Short-ly after, redshirt freshman safety Brandon Stanley was ejected for targeting after a hit on one of the Golden Eagles’ receivers on Tennessee Tech’s drive.

“It looked to me like he was going for the ball,” head coach Dean Hood said. “It’s hard to make a call that quick, but it looked to me like he was not trying to go to the head of that player.”

Redshirt junior Chris Owens came in for Stanley, and the defense never missed a beat. By the end of the third quarter, the Eagles had just 96 total yards of off ense, and after a long drive near the end of the fourth, they fi nished with 200.

Th e Eagles slowed Eastern’s off ense down a little during the middle of the game. Off ensive Coordinator Dane Dam-ron called on sophomore wide receiver Jeff Glover to try and give the off ense a spark

after halftime. With 12:31 to go in the fourth quar-

ter, Glover received a reverse handoff from McClain. Glover then did something that he had never done in his football career: he threw a touchdown pass. Th e pass connect-ed to senior tight end Ike Ariguzo.

“Never played quarterback in high school, nothing,” Glover said. “I was throwing around in practice one day and they gave me a chance.”

Glover said he gave credit to Ariguzo for the success of the pass.

“Ike [Ariguzo] always has told me to throw it up and give him a chance,” he said. “Ike is a big, strong man so he muscled it away from the guy. I give him all the credit, I really didn’t

throw a good ball.” Redshirt sophomore Bryce Krebs said

the consecutive wins have helped boost Eastern’s morale.

“Th ose big losses, they hurt our pride a little bit,” defensive lineman Bryce Krebs said. “We need to be us, that wasn’t us los-ing those games.”

Hood said his players know the impor-tance of every game from this point forward.

“I think they understood after the East-ern Illinois game that every game is a must-win and our backs are against the wall,” Hood said. “We have to win every single week if we want to contend for a championship.”

Eastern, now 4-3 (2-1 OVC), returns to the gridiron at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at Southeast Missouri State University. Th e game will be available to watch on ESPN3.

hype surrounding our team this year, I’ll be honest, it’s been diffi cult.

As well as the team did last year, it is a mutual understanding between my team-mates and coaches that that was last year and this is a new year.

Last year we were picked to fi nish close to last in the conference and surprised ev-eryone with how well we did. Th is year, no one is taking us for granted.

Instead of being the underdog, we’re now favored to win most of our games.

With the new rule change, my team was allowed to start practicing on Sept. 27, which is almost three weeks earlier than previous years.

Almost immediately you can tell we are a diff erent team than last year. Th e learning curve wasn’t as steep as previ-ous years because we didn’t have to get acquainted with new defensive and off en-

sive plays. Th e intensity in practice is right where

we left it last season. One of our strengths last year was our defense.

Our defense held teams to just 65.8 points a game and forced teams into 17.5 turnovers a game.

Defense is something we pride our-selves on as a team and spend a good amount of our practices every day focus-ing on how to stop other teams.

In the following few weeks, our team will test where we are defensively in our scrimmages. We will scrimmage Bowling Green State University and Marshall Uni-versity.

All my teammates and coaches are looking forward to this fi rst test to see how we will do and if we can live up to the expectations set for us this year.

Eastern’s football team has won its homecoming game for the last seven years. The Colonels’ record jumps to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in the OVC.

EASTERN’S DEFENSE FUELS HOMECOMING WIN AGAINST TENNESSEE TECH UNIVERSITY

Homecoming was once again a success for the Colonel football team.

For the seventh straight year, Eastern’s football team won its homecoming game. Th e 2013 edition was a 24-10 victory against Tennessee Tech in a game that showcased the Colonel defense.

Eastern held Tennessee Tech to just 27 yards rushing for the entire game, which proved to be the key to the game.

“Every week, that’s our goal,” senior linebacker Anthony Brown said. “Hopefully we can keep it going throughout the rest of the

season.” After giving up 6 yards rushing to Austin Peay in its last game,

the defense has held its last two opponents to just 33 combined rushing yards.

“Th at’s our calling card at Eastern, to play great defense,” Brown said. “No matter what the off ense does, we feel if we play great de-fense we will always have a chance in any game.”

Brown intercepted a pass right before halftime on the Tennes-see Tech 30-yard line that set up an Andrew Lloyd fi eld goal to make it 17-3. Brown also had an interception last game against Austin Peay.

Junior quarterback Jared McClain gave high praise to the defense.

Hoops team goes from underdog to OVC favorites

Hey, Colonel Nation, my name is Deverin Muff , and I am a basketball player here at Eastern. Th roughout the season, I will write a column in Th e Eastern Progress about what is going on with our team.

Th is is my fourth year at Eastern, and I’ve never seen more excitement about an upcoming season than I have this year.

In part, that’s because we had a good season last year. Our team fi n-ished with a school-record 25 wins, with 12 of those in-conference. Last year’s team also won the fi rst post-sea-son game in school history.

So this year, people expect a lot from us. In almost every magazine that I’ve seen previewing this upcom-ing basketball season, including USA Today and Sporting News, we have been picked to win the Ohio Valley Conference.

Th ree players from the team this year have received preseason hon-ors. Senior Glenn Cosey was named fi rst team all conference, junior Co-rey Walden was named third team and junior Eric Stutz was named to the fourth team by CollegeSportsMadness.com.

Cosey also received other individ-ual preseason praise. CollegeInsider.com named Cosey to the Lou Hen-son preseason All-American Team and Athlon Sports wrote in its maga-zine that Cosey “has the tools to be-come the best all-around player in the league.”

We are returning all but one per-son from last year’s roster, including four starters and 13 letterman recipi-ents, which is awarded to those who’ve been a part of the team for two or more years.

A general rule for athletes is to try and ignore things written in the me-dia because it could infl uence you in some way. However, with the all the

Eastern’s soccer team had a successful homecoming weekend with wins against conference foes Murray State University, 2-0 and Austin Peay State University, 3-2.

Murray StateTh e Colonels shut down Murray State,

2-0, on Friday, Oct. 18. Th e win was East-ern’s fi rst in four games.

Senior Kristan Paynter scored Eastern’s fi rst goal in the 30th minute of the fi rst half, 15 yards out on an assist by sopho-more Amani Th omas.

Th e Colonels outshot the Racers 16-13, with senior Nikki Donnelly leading the team with fi ve shots. Senior Brittany No-mady added four, two that were on goal. Paynter had three shots with one on goal, Smith with two, both being on goal and Th omas with one shot, one on goal and two assists.

“I think it was a complete team ef-fort and we put together a full 90 min-

utes,” head coach Melissa Barnes said. “We got a shut out, which is huge for our de-fense, and we scored multiple goals, which is awesome for our attack, all in all great team eff ort today.”

Smith scored the second goal 12 yards out in the bottom right corner of the net with less than four minutes left in the game on an assist by Th omas.

Erika Wolfer stayed in the goal for all 90 minutes for the Colonels with fi ve saves.

Th e shutout marks the fi rst time this season Eastern has won by more than one goal.

“Up until this point every game has been a one-goal game or a tie, so this is a huge step for us,” Barnes said.

Austin PeayTh e Colonels earned a hard-fought win

against the Austin Peay Governors on Se-nior Day, Oct. 20. Eastern won 3-2 after back-and-forth scoring on both sides and an aggressive defensive eff ort.

In a three-match domination, Eastern defeated Tennessee Tech University, Jack-sonville State University and Northern Kentucky University at McBrayer Arena.

Tennessee Tech Th e Colonels gained its fi rst victory af-

ter defeating Tennessee Tech (5-13, 1-7 OVC) 3-0 Oct. 18. Eastern won by scores of 25-16, 25-14 and 25-14.

Senior Ashley Edmond led East-ern with a match-best 12 kills with ju-nior Alexis Plagens and freshman Johan-na Boyer each adding eight for Eastern.

Junior Dena Ott recorded 12 digs for the Colonels and Plagens followed with 9. Ju-nior Abbey Cvelbar led the Colonels with 34 assists.

In set one, Eastern held a tied score with the Tennessee Tech until the Colo-nels went on a 5-0 run. Tennessee Tech came within three points of Eastern, but the Colonels held the Golden Eagles to just 16 after a 12-6 run.

Eastern made a 13-2 run in the second set to improve its 2-0 defi cit against Ten-nessee Tech. An 11-point swing gave the Colonels the win for the second set.

Th e Colonels led most of the third set. Th e Golden Eagles came back to tie the set at 15 until late kills by Edmond put the victory in the Colonels’ hands.

Jacksonville State Eastern took down Jacksonville State
