Committee suggests philosophy retention

OLIVIA SWENSON-HULTZ | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Stevenson Residence Halls will soon be adding coed housing suites to its facilities. The option for this housing will be limited to junior and senior students and will be available in the 2017 fall semester. This is part of an effort to make the campus more inclusive.

Coed suites to be added to Stevenson

By Rob Smolik Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Eastern will add mixed-gender suites to Stevenson Hall in the fall semester, allowing male and female students to live together for the first time in a single suite.

There are currently 54 suites in Stevenson Hall.

Mark Hudson, director of Housing and Dining, said all of them can potentially be converted into a mixed-gender living space.

Students have to arrange for a coed suite as a group. These suites cannot be randomly assigned.

These new suites will not be the only mixed-gender housing available on campus. Both Ford and McKinney Halls already offer coed floors. These halls allow both men

and women to live on the same floors but in separate rooms.

Just like in Ford and McKinney Halls, individual bedrooms within the suites at Stevenson Hall will only house one gender.

“Stevenson is very similar to the way Ford and McKinney are set up, except that it is encapsulated in a suite,” Hudson said.

The idea for mix-gender suites in Stevenson had been floating around for a while, but was officially brought to Hudson’s attention this year.

With the remodeling of McKinney Hall in 2012 and Ford Hall in 2014 to make them have coed floors, Hudson said the timing of putting these types of rooms in Stevenson Hall was right.

“This just seemed like a logical

option if students have interest in it,” Hudson said.

Frank Monier, a resident assistant in McKinney Hall, said it is important for students to have these options.

“After all, some men get along better with women and some women get along better with men,” he said.

Whenever a university allows men and women to room together there might be some controversy, but Hudson said he does not think that there should be any in this case.

“Stevenson is a building that’s restricted to juniors and up…people are in a much better position to maturely deal with it,” Hudson said. “I hope it will keep people on campus longer because we

k n ow w h e n s t u d e n t s m ove o f f campus, they do go into mixedgender apartments.”

Monier said it is a good time to start implementing these changes.

“Schools are good at teaching people to be more diverse and accepting,” he said.

Monier added that the changes would make the campus more inclusive.

“I think it’s smart that they’re starting this with an upperclassmen hall,” he said. “Underclassmen are still learning the ropes; they haven’t gotten comfortable with campus yet.”

Interviews to begin for new provost Staff Report | @DEN_News The first of four candidates being considered for the provost position will be interviewed at Eastern Thursday, March 23 and Friday, March 24, according to an email sent out by Eastern President David Glassman.

The new provost will serve as a replacement for current Provost Blair Lord, who announced last year that he is planning on retiring in the summer.

An open session for students is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, March 23 in the Arcola-Tuscola Room, followed by one for facul-

ty at 2 p.m. in the same place, according to the itinerary posted on the web page.

The open session with staff is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. Friday, March 24 in the Charleston-Mattoon room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Interviews for the other can-

didates are set for March 27-29, March 29-31 and April 3-5. These interviews will include open sessions for faculty, students and staff as well.

The News staff can be reached at 581-2812 or dennewsdesk@gmail.com.

The Academic Program Elimination/Reorganization Review Committee recommended there be no elimination, reorganization or reduction of the philosophy program or major in a final report submitted to the provost Monday during Spring Break.

The committee convened after Workgroup No.7, which looked at academic programs during the vitalization project, recommended several programs, including philosophy, for elimination or consolidation.

According to the EIU-UPI contract, the committee is required to make recommendations to the provost concerning academic programs being considered for elimination or reorganization if it could result in the layoff of Unit A faculty.

In the committee’s final report, it cited that the philosophy department has netted a profit over the past five academic years.

Though philosophy saw a drop in enrollment during the university’s 2011-2012 academic year, the committee wrote in the report that total enrollment in the major, its general education and service courses is relatively steady.

“Philosophy, as a program and discipline, is an integral part of a broad education and an essential part of developing critical thinkers and responsible citizens – all of which are embedded in EIU’s Mission and Undergraduate Learning Goals,” the committee wrote.

During the committee’s meetings, it found that the program is included in the curricula for nine minors and seven majors. These minors include neuroscience, pre-law studies, medieval studies, asian studies, religious studies, anthropology, women’s studies, criminology as well as the philosophy minor itself.

To make its report, committee members reviewed information including data on majors, credit hours and full time equivalent, program profit and loss statements, major assessment profiles, affected course offerings, dean and program comments to Workgroup No.7’s recommendations and their worksheets and annotations.

Provost Blair Lord declined to comment on specific questions regarding the report and vitalization project as he said it is still ongoing and primarily a presidential initiative.

“Each of the degree programs included on the list of programs for possible elimination is being carefully considered by the president’s council and the president,” Lord said in an email.

The University Police Department and Charleston Police Department used McAfee Gym Tuesd a y a n d T h u r s d a y ove r s p r i n g break to train officers for active shooter scenarios.

Brett Compton, patrol officer for the CPD, said this training has taken place annually for over 10 years, usually rotating among public schools in the area.

Compton said this was the first time the officers have used McAfee Gym as their training grounds.

The officers used around twothirds of the rooms in the building. They have also used Carman Hall in the past to train.

Training in McAfee was especially valuable to CPD officers, Compton said, because it exposes them to areas they do not know very well, as it is the UPD who usually respond to calls on campus.

Compton said the CPD has an outdoor range on the outskirts of Charleston, but it cannot provide all the training officers need.

“There are only so many ways to change (the outdoor range). We need to be familiar with a variety of locations,” Compton said.

Before each training exercise, officers attended a short lecture explaining new common practices.

Officers need to use different strategies when a school implements ALICE training, which prepares teachers for an active shooter scenario, Compton said.

ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.

Compton said the scenarios were designed to feel as realistic as possible.

The UPD and CPD used blank rounds that recoil and make nearly as much noise as regular ammunition.

“In an older building like (McAfee), sounds echo and it can disorient you. You may think the gunfire came down from one way, when it really came from a different direction,” he said.

C o m p t o n s a i d a c t i ve s h o o t er scenarios are rare, but it is still important to train for them regularly.

“It may happen at a low fre-

quency, but if it does happen, the stakes are extremely high,” he said.

Brian Hissong, patrol officer for the CPD, said knowing one’s surroundings is crucial.

“If someone has a heart attack, being familiar with the terrain can help shave off a full minute from the response time,” he said.

Hissong said he and other officers regularly visit schools outside of training times to make sure they know their way around. They also visit schools to deter wouldbe criminals.

“We want to be so visible that they know we’ll be there,” he said.

Alex Oakley, detective for the University Police Depar tment, said training with the CPD helped both departments learn better how to communicate with one another. “An active shooter scenario can be very confusing. So the fewer obstacles we have, the better,” he said.

Oakley said if UPD officers said on the radio there was an active shooter at a certain office at Eastern, UPD officers would know where to go.

But they would need to make sure to communicate the location

very clearly to CPD officers who may not know the campus as well.

Oakley said exercises were still beneficial for UPD officers familiar with the campus.

“Training in an active shooter scenario forces you to see familiar places with a new perspective,” he said.

The building’s narrow spiral staircases can slow down movement, and there are a lot of shortcuts through offices that one might not ordinarily notice, he said.

McAfee also has many awkward hallways and corridors that can be difficult to clear in small teams, Oakley said, because there are not enough officers to hold previous ground.

“An active shooter (in McAfee Gym) is a worst-case scenario, so it makes for better training,” Oakley said. “If we have been trained to respond there, we will have a much easier time responding in less difficult areas.”

STATE AND NATIONAL NEWS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Voters register objections to parts of new budget deal SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Senate's "grand bargain" budget compromise has had a rough go, with false starts, misfires, a lukewarm Republican reception, and Democrats abruptly pulling the plug last month when GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner weighed in against it. And that doesn't count taxpayers' reaction.

The 12 disparate measures comprising the grand bargain were cobbled together in an attempt to recharge stalled negotiations over a two-year budget stalemate that has fueled a multibilliondollar budget deficit. An Associated Press analysis of Senate records shows nearly 4,700 witnesses wanting a say in at least one of the individual measures. Less than a fifth recorded support.

"If gambling could solve the budget crisis, it would have done so by now," said Kathy Gilroy, an independent insurance agent and anti-gambling activist from Villa Park, who filed her objection electronically. "Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity."

It's that type of opposition that

hamstrings hopes of a deal, particularly one so widespread and complex. Even if lawmakers could agree, a "yes" vote could push voters to eject them at the next election. That's especially true when the critics are well-funded groups with clout, such as labor unions, business interests or teachers.

Shown the numbers, Sen. Heather Steans, an appropriations committee chairwoman at the heart of grand bargain machinations, suggested witnesses were focusing on the trees at the forest's expense. She has found voters' concerns are mollified when shown the big picture.

"You can rile people up on a particular element, but once they understand the whole package, they tend to be supportive," said Steans, a Chicago Democrat.

The sheer volume of witnesses reacting to committee hearings earlier this year is attributable to electronic filing, introduced about five years ago. It makes it easier for taxpayers to have their say and for groups to organize campaigns.

That's apparent from reaction to the local property-tax freeze

Rauner is demanding. That proposal drew more than 1,400 opponents to just six in favor. But more than 600 indicated they were affiliated with public schools and nearly 100 specifically identified their connection to physical education, the AP's review found.

The legislation allows schools to forgo P.E. for up to six years with legislative permission.

Former Rep. Bill Black, a Danville Republican who served from 1985 to 2011, said parochial concerns melt when voters recognize greater need. He once pushed an income-tax increase to shift the burden of public-school fund ing — an issue yet unresolved and part of the grand bargain — which the House approved with just seven Republican votes before a GOP-controlled Senate buried it. Black was told he wouldn't be back, but he said voters will swallow tough medicine in times of crisis — like now.

"Most people are saying, 'Just do something,'" said Black.

Despite the budget deficit the state faces, legislation that would raise taxes is hotly contested. But

the measure that would now hike the income tax rate originally proposed a tax on sugary drinks, which died amid a critical cacophony from giant cola-makers, movie theater chains, quick-trip stores and more. But on a grand bargain measure to pay state bills for the first half of 2017 — including domestic violence shelters, zeroed out since last summer — 98 percent of witnesses were in favor.

Witnesses converging on the Capitol for major issues flood lawmakers' offices with rancorous pledges to vote them out, said Patrick Welch, a Democratic senator from Peru from 1983 to 2003.

But even if your neighbors are opposed, some crises require a gut-check. That's easier said than done, said Richard Winkel, director of public leadership for the University of Illinois' Institute of Government and Public Affairs.

"You can't 'vote your district,'" said the Champaign Republican, who served in the House and Senate from 1995 to 2007. "You have to vote the state."

Chuck Berry lives on through countless songs NEW YORK (AP) — Behind so many great rock bands and rock songs looms the music of Chuck Berry.

Like the time a teenage Keith Richards ran into a childhood friend, Mick Jagger, at a train station in England and discovered they were musical soul mates.

Berry died Saturday at age 90, leaving behind not only a core of rock classics such as "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven," but countless descendants in songs clearly indebted to him in sound and

in spirit.

You could assemble a heavenly mix tape just of the hits built around his guitar work.

You can hear it overtly in the Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar," which closes with a nearverbatim homage to "Johnny B. Goode," in Bob Seger's "Get Out of Denver" and the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun," or in brief passages to songs that might not otherwise remind anyone of Berry, like the Eagles' "Peaceful Easy Feeling" or the Who's "Who are You."

Berry also patented an animated, stream of consciousness storytelling style that artists have been using ever since.

Critic Peter Guralnick notes that Berry's influence is both literal, in the way Richards might consciously imitate one of his riffs, and more general in his poetry and novelistic detail. The Cadillac in Berry's "Nadine" is not just a Cadillac, but a "coffee colored" Cadillac. He says one of Dylan's great accomplishments was absorbing Berry's gifts into his own style.

"Dylan called Berry the 'Shakespeare of rock n' roll' and with good reason," Guralnick said Sunday. "Had the Nobel committee been open to popular musicians before Dylan's era, they might have given the prize to Berry."

Berry didn't just create the music for so many rock n' roll lives but helped invent the characters — the bored student, the groupie, the would-be guitar hero — and placed them in an American landscape of restlessness, aspiration and motion.

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | REVIEW

Movie Review: ‘A Tale as Droll as Time’

By Ben Bruflat Contributing Writer | @DEN_News “Beauty and the Beast,” directed

by Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls,” “Twilight: Breaking Dawn”) tells the story of Belle (Emma Watson), a young woman seen as “strange” in her village because she is a bookworm and the daughter of an inventor (Kevin Kline).

Circumstances find Belle held captive by the Beast (Dan Stevens), a princeturned-monster living alone in his castle and waiting for true love to reverse the spell on him and the castle’s staff.

We live in the age of remakes and sequels of movies that are decades old.

Sometimes, the result is a masterpiece like “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Other times, we’re left wondering, “Did they really have to remake ‘Ben-Hur?’” Thankfully, this remake of “Beauty and the Beast” is not as horrible as CGI chariot races, but it is not as memorable as its 1991 animated counterpart, either.

The movie opens with a backstory of how the prince and his staff come to live in an enchanted castle. After this gloomy opening, we are introduced to Belle and the villagers through the song “Belle.” While this number introduces our heroine, we also meet the boisterous Gaston (Luke Evans) and his sidekick LeFou (Josh Gad).

Evans would go on to steal many scenes throughout the movie.

Later, when Belle is captive in the castle, she meets the cursed staff: Lumiere the candelabra (Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth the clock (Sir Ian McKellan) and Mrs. Potts, the tea kettle (Emma Thompson), among others. Although these characters were CGI, they fit their roles perfectly. Mc-

Gregor’s Lumiere stood out as my favorite; his song “Be Our Guest” was my favorite scene in the entire movie.

The Beast makes some appearances early on, but he does not really come out of his shell until later in the movie.

He and Belle begin to bond over books and art, and we get a little backstory into Belle’s cryptic past. While this is not the only new plot added into the movie, it was the most noticeable.

However, it did not really add anything to the overall story.

The well-known ballroom scene where Mrs. Potts sang the titular song, Belle and the Beast danced in their famous formal wear from the animated film. This was the scene that made me realize how hollow the movie felt.

I had been sucked into the fun of “Be Our Guest,” but felt nothing during what should have been the most memorable moment. This feeling remained throughout the rest of the film.

I need to address the “first openly gay Disney character” thing. Yes, LeFou is clearly gay. However, they address this by poking fun at the fact.

“Ha! LeFou likes Gaston, but Gaston is straight!” The subplot felt more insulting than progressive.

Overall, this is not a bad movie.

There are great moments, and most of the characters fit very well. However, an unnecessary added plot (and 40 more minutes of film compared to the original), a miscast Emma Watson and an insulting subplot for LeFou left me disappointed. Maybe this is a sign that tales as old as time should be left as they are.

Providing Tears for Plenty of Years

Monday, 03.20.17

Abby Carlin

Binging on beloved shows can be therapy for students Returning from spring break, everyone is asking, “how was your break,” or “what did you do?”

To that, I proudly declare that I did almost nothing. I spent the first few days completing my clinical hours for my methods course and catching up on some homework (since I spent the week before spring break with the flu and a nice pneumonia; fun times), but the rest of the break was spent on the couch with an ice-cold soda, a blanket and almost two-and-a-half seasons of Grey’s Anatomy.

Pop culture tends to frown upon the binge watching of TV shows, especially ones of the dramatic and emotional natures. However, I believe that binge watching crappy, dramatic TV shows is a staple of the modern college experience, and I would like to take a moment to sing its praises.

For one, relaxation in any form is a good thing.

Taking a moment to decompress and spend some moments alone is absolutely necessary in a society where we are constantly bombarded with notifications, emails, group chats and whatever else nags us day in and day out. Taking a weekend off from the parties with a season of One Tree Hill, a nice book or a blank canvas and some art supplies are all great ways to decompress.

Though I believe these reasons to be completely valid, I have not yet mentioned my favorite excuse to Netflix my spring break away.

The best part of binge watching a TV show is being sucked into the alternate universe and losing yourself in it all. You experience the slow dissolution of reality, when the character’s problems become your own and you yourself become a part of something that is not real.

It is the difference between feeling some butterflies in your tummy as a result of the anxiety that comes from knowing what is behind the corner and beginning to sweat and tense up and pleading with the screen as if the characters can hear you. It is more than crying at a particular scene because it reminds you of the death of your grandfather; it is sobbing because you felt a connection with Dr. Derek Shepherd and it breaks your heart that Meredith Grey can literally never catch a break. It is a grief, a sorrow, a joy that you feel in your soul, not in your short-term memory.

Is this practice a little strange? Is it healthy? I am not sure, but it is super fun and it makes me feel better about my menial existence.

Getting lost in a show like Grey’s Anatomy makes me feel like my own problems, such as the looming deadlines of final projects or the unrequited affections of the boy I have had a crush on since August, seem so small. After all, what is double text anxiety compared to a man being crushed in the door of an ambulance? Or a bad quiz compared to your husband cheating on you with an intern? Getting lost in these ridiculous scenarios provides perspective. It is slanted, to say the least, but it is perspective nonetheless.

I hope that all of you had a relaxing break, whether you spent it in front of a television or laptop or not. I hope you have a productive and easy remainder of the semester, and if you find that things are not going as well, maybe take an afternoon and watch a few (or a more than a few) episodes of Bob’s Burgers, Grey’s Anatomy, Grimm or whatnot. Or go for a run. I hear that is supposed to be good for you.

Stevenson Hall co-ed suites a step forward

During the upcoming school year, students living in Stevenson Hall will have the choice to reside in co-ed suites. 54 of Stevenson’s signature multi-room suites will be opened up to all genders; any combination of students can live together in a suite, provided they are junior or seniors per standing Stevenson policy.

This housing policy change signifies Eastern’s commitment to gender and LGBTQA+ equality. We at The News believe that this change is for the best and that all students should be glad to see our university move forward.

Previously, Eastern’s transgender students were limited in housing choices. These students could choose to apply for housing with attention only to their birth certificate gender markers, but would ultimately wind up in rooms with people of a gender not their own, and housing in a traditional double or triple room with cisgender students can be stressful or, in extreme cases, dangerous for trans students.

Trans students could also opt to live alone in a physical single, but outside of Pemberton Hall, physical singles are far and few between.

With Stevenson Hall’s new policy, transgender students, especially nonbinary students, can find more flexible housing without feeling as though their gender identities were not valid in the university’s eyes.

Though many residence halls have had gender-integrated floors for years, no other building allows for multi-gender rooms. Traditionally, men’s and women’s housing was separated for morality and safety concerns, but the social assumptions these policies operated on are being steadily broken down.

Morality rules about unmarried men and women living together should be the decision of individual students, not a university, and especially not a public one. Students can make their own moral decisions about who they want to live with, and the university should not take a

stance on the matter.

However, morality concerns are less common now than safety concerns. Many people believe that women and men housing together will lead to an increase of sexual assaults or rapes.

Sexual assault is not a side effect of gender integration. Sexual assault is an effect of disregard about consent.

If we separate female and male students based on a fear of sexual assault, we admit that we think men are destined to assault women. We should never expect sexual assault to happen by default. Though it is tragically common in many cases, it should not be expected.

The editorial staff of The News believe that this change to housing policy will be for the best. We look forward to more integrated living spaces and to seeing how further housing equality will help the student body.

The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Cherry-picked quotes can be dangerous One of the most powerful rhetorical tools is to use someone else’s words to prove your point.

But this technique can often be abused by cherry-picking quotes out of their original context.

People can easily be made to sound like they are advancing positions that they actually disagree with, even when they are quoted accurately. For instance, writers often describe an opposing position to set up their objections and to show they understand what they are arguing against; this rhetorical device can be used against the author.

One of my previous columns provides an example. At the beginning of my article, “Life’s origin needs no designer,” I introduced the position I was arguing against.

“The odds of something as complicated as the simplest cell arising from chance are so low – one in trillions – that there must have been some sort of intelligent designer guiding it,” I said.

When this sentence is presented alone, it certainly sounds as though I am arguing that life’s origin does need a designer. But in the very next sentence, I state, “This reasoning is flawed in part because…” and spend the rest of the article explaining why I disagree with it.

A dishonest or careless critic can twist my effort to explain the opposing side into an endorsement for that point of view.

One red flag for cherry-picked quotes is when

Leon Mire it is introduced with loaded language, or words that imply positive or negative opinions. For instance, the quote from my article could be introduced with these words: “Even self-described atheist Leon Mire admits…”

The word “admits” falsely implies that I recognize the strength of the viewpoint I am actually arguing against. The phrase “self-described atheist” implies that the description is insulting, and they want to clarify that I voluntarily call myself that. The word “even” would imply that I am on the fringes of reasonability. The position they are defending is so undeniable that “even” a person as biased as an atheist must accept it.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to verify a printed quote, however. Most books are available in some form online for free, such as on Amazon or Google Books, both of which let you search for a quote and see the immediate context around the passage.

While it may seem that such obvious quota-

tions out of context would be quickly discovered and refuted, this is not often the case. The most famous example I know of is Charles Darwin’s quote from “The Origin of Species” about the evolution of the eye.

In part, he said the idea that they eye “could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”

Some creationists use this quote to show that Darwin himself doubted the theory of evolution.

But Darwin then spends several pages describing how natural selection could account for the evolution of the eye from plausible intermediate forms.

Yet although anyone can read the text online for free, and even though the misuse of this quote has been pointed out time and time again, even by other creationists, it has persisted for decades.

That should testify to the rhetorical power of such a technique. Since even Darwin doubted evolution, it can be safely dismissed.

If nothing else, I hope the previous sentence jumped out at you as another example of a quote that could be cherry-picked out of its context.

Librarians specialize in research subjects

By Megan Shudrowitz Contributing Writer | @DEN_News The Booth Library currently has about 16 librarians able to assist students with their studies or research findings.

These librarians serve as a liaison to a specific academic department in the university. Because they have backgrounds in different research areas, each librarian is assigned to a different department on campus.

Steve Brantley, head of reference and instruction services, said librarians at Booth are qualified for these positions.

Librarians at Eastern need both a master’s degree in library science as well as a second master’s in a different academic field.

“Some people tend to think that whoever is working at a library is just a librarian,” Brantley said. “We respect all of the staff that work here and they all have skills in different areas, not just being a librarian.”

Brantley said subject librarians can help students individually, and they also collaborate with professors.

“Many times, throughout the semester the professor will arrange for the librarian to come and give an instruction session,” Brantley said. “We are mainly there to help you navigate the research sources to find the best techniques and to get the information that you need in a timely manner.”

When starting a new project, finding the best re-

»

sources is a crucial, but sometimes difficult, part of the process.

“A lot of times when students are finding research they may not know where to begin or what specialized resources might be available for that certain area, so we can guide them and help untangle any issues students may have,” Brantley said.

The Booth Library also has reference librarians to help students who need assistance in finding sources or books.

Reference librarians are experts about the sources Booth offers, whether it is an online database or journals. These services are available at the reference desk on the third floor at the library.

Beth Heldebrandt, the public relations director of the Booth Library, said when promoting upcoming events or services, the library uses media outlets like Twitter, Facebook and digital display boards throughout campus. They have also created fliers of librarians specified for each department.

These fliers, which can be found all over campus, include librarians’ phone numbers, emails and the field of study they are educated in.

“Our core base that we are trying to serve are the students, faculty and staff at EIU, but we have so many programs that we offer that are open to anyone,” Heldebrandt said.

Committee

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the report, was also happy with the final document.

“It was very professionally done, well laid out and well thought through,” he said.

Members of the philosophy department had been meeting with and providing information to the committee, including new initiatives the philosophy program wants to implement.

According to the Academic Program Elimination/ Reorganization Review Committee’s report, faculty in philosophy have developed curricular proposals that will “strengthen and sustain philosophy and the numerous programs served by the department.”

These include a proposed online ethics certificate and an integrative philosophy major to provide professional undergraduate training in law and medicine.

Some things the department did on its own, such as expanding its offering online, while other initiatives are more interdisciplinary.

“We have been doing a lot, and there’s more we can do to vitalize our program,” DePetro said. “...

We’re not sitting back and doing nothing; there are ideas we have, ideas we think are good ideas and will enhance our program.”

However, DePetro said the philosophy department has not been able to move too far forward with some initiatives as it is not sure whether or the program is going to be eliminated, revised or retained.

“We’re in this sort of limbo where we’re not exact-

“...The contractual elimination committee had a hard deadline which has been met. The other governance groups are expected to weigh in shortly. Until then, the president’s council and President Glassman are withholding judgment on a final decision.”

Lord said the information provided would ultimately inform a final decision from the president’s council and the president.

Eastern President David Glassman said he would read the report, which was forwarded to him by Lord, when returning from Spring Break.

When creating its report the committee spoke with EIU-UPI leadership and faculty members from the philosophy program. In addition, they used updated profit and loss statements given to them by the administration.

Jonelle DePetro, chair of the philosophy department, said they were delighted to see the recommendation against elimination. “(The committee) acknowledged the depth of our program in the mission of the university, how integrated we are in the mission of the university and that doesn’t happen by accident,” she said. “We’ve been working all these years, integrated into these minors, programs. We work hard to provide students the best education we can offer.”

Jon Blitz, president of the EIU-UPI, who spoke to the committee about contract language and outlining

ly sure what will happen we’re trying to see what our next step will be,” she said. “...We can’t really move forward until we know what our department will look like.”

The Academic Program Elimination/Reorganization Review Committee chose to look solely at philosophy, as it is the only department whose elimination could lead to a loss in Unit A faculty.

The department already has two people who have said they will retire, DePetro said, and there are also concerns as there is the potential to lose faculty because of the state’s instability.

“I’m not sure it’s a problem anybody could solve, but eliminating programs could have negative effects,” she said. “It could have negative consequences for students considering Eastern because they’re afraid of a domino effect, if you’re eliminating one program maybe theirs will be next. I think it could have a negative consequence for faculty who are considering coming.”

The faculty in the philosophy department have specializations in certain areas. Without these faculty members, some topics cannot be offered.

“We created this program to be a certain way and if people leave, that’s significant, that’s going to be a real loss to our program,” DePetro said.

Blitz said without the philosophy program, the university would have a harder time recruiting faculty.

“You’re not going to get anybody who wants to teach an upper-division course because there’s no incentive; you significantly weaken the faculty in the department by doing that,” Blitz said. “You also significantly weaken the faculty if you put what’s left in a different department, like consolidating, because then they don’t have a voice, or have much less of a voice in governance of that particular department.”

Blitz said he could see nothing but negatives from eliminating the major. “Of course we don’t want to make every decision based on dollars and sense; however, if the department is not being a financial drag on the institution, it’s hard to come up with a logical argument for eliminating that major,” Blitz said.

Reorganization or reduction of the minor could also have negative effects on the university, according to the report, including curricular disarray, a loss of qualified faculty and an impact on student recruitment.

Given the quality of the Academic Program Elimination/Reorganization Review Committee’s report, Blitz said he thinks it should have some weight.

“If they want to eliminate philosophy degree, if they ultimately come down on that side of the issue, this just makes it harder,” Blitz said.

Men’s golf team heads to Missouri State

By Mark Shanahan Men’s Golf Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s golf team will play in the Missouri State Twin Oaks Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday for its second tournament of the spring.

Eastern finished seventh in the Butler Florida Spring Invitational in its first tournament of the spring. The top finisher for the Panthers was

sophomore Alvaro Hernandez with a sixth place finish. Hernandez leads the team with an average round score of 73.64.

The Missouri State Twin Oaks Intercollegiate is a 54hole event that will be played on the Par 71, 6,760 yard Twin Oaks Country Club in Springfield, Mo. The teams will be playing 36 holes on Monday and 18 holes on Tuesday. Scheduled to compete on Monday and Tues-

day are Missouri State, Bradley, Creighton, Green Bay, Loyola-Chicago, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois Edwardsville, Texas Rio Grande Valley, Valparaiso, Kansas City and Eastern.

The host Missouri State is mourning the death of freshm a n g o l f e r Sa m Ho l m e s over the weekend. The only home meet for Missouri State will be played in honor of Holmes.

The Panthers finished sixth as a team last season with round totals of 302,300 and 298. Dustin Atkinson had a sixth place showing in the event with a final total of 218.

The two-day event will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Monday with a shotgun start.

Mark Shanahan can be reached at 581-2812 or mmshanahan@eiu.edu.

The Eastern women’s tennis team opened OVC play against Jacksonville State Friday and cruised to a 6-1 win.

With that victory, the Panthers started off conference play on a good note, as the remainder of their schedule will be against OVC opponents.

Although they did defeat Jacksonville State, the Panthers could not finish off Drake in their final non-conference match of the season March 12. The Panthers claimed the doubles point early, but the top half of their singles line up could not secure the Panther victory.

Freshman Stella Cliffe and Senior Kelly Iden started off doubles play for the Panthers.

The duo defeated Junior Tess Herder and sophomore Kenya Williams in a tie break, 7-6 (2).

In singles, Coach Wang went back to her more traditional line up against the Gamecocks. Iden started things off from her No. 1 spot. She defeated Ulanday in three sets, winning (7-5, 5-7, 6-2).

Stella Cliffe followed Iden with a three-set match of her own. Cliffe was defeated by fellow freshman Monsalve (6-4, 3-6, 6-1). Summers defeated Conejero in the third of four three set matches on the day (7-6[3], 6-7[7], 7-5).

Moshteva finished active singles play for the Panthers with a victory over Buechner in the fourth three-set match of the day (4-6, 6-4, 6-4). Pugachevsky and Stadalninkaite both notched singles wins by default as well, as the Gamecocks did not have the depth to field those matches.

The Panthers continue their OVC schedule Wednesday, at SIUE. Their first matches begin in Edwardsville, at 1 p.m.

Men’s tennis team gains experience during struggle

By Dillan Schorfheide Men’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s men’s tennis team had lost three matches in a row going into spring break, and the team is coming out of spring break with an extended losing streak to seven games.

Coach Samuel Kercheval said a big reason the team did not have success over the break is all of the players on the team do not play their best at the same time.

“Everyone is getting out there and being competitive at times, just not as consistently as we need yet,” he said.

The team’s first match was March 10 against Dayton. Dayton swept Eastern 7-0, tying the series record between the teams to three wins apiece.

Kercheval said juniors Grant Reiman and Jared Woodson, along with freshman Braden Davis, battled well. Reiman kept his singles match close, losing 6-4 in both sets. Woodson and Davis both played competitive first sets, losing 7-6 and 7-5, respectively.

Eastern’s match against Wright State on March 11 ended with the same score as the match against Dayton: 7-0.

Kercheval said in that match, Reiman, Trent Reiman and Woodson were the most competitive players.

Both twins forced their opponents to a third set in their singles matches. Grant lost his match after winning the second set, 6-4, 6-7, 1-0; Trent also lost his match after winning the second set, 5-7, 6-3, 1-0.

Woodson also came close in the two sets he lost, 6-3, 6-4.

The two freshmen Gage Kingsmith and Grant Reiman won the only match for Eastern against Wright State, beating their opponents 7-5 in a duals match.

Eastern’s first match of OVC Conference play came on Friday against Jacksonville State.

The Gamecocks defeated Eastern 6-1. The solo point for Eastern came from freshman Marko Stefan Janjusic in the No. 2 position, after he

beat his opponent in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 11-9.

Janjusic continues to hold the best singles record for Eastern as he is now 7-9 on the year.

The other victory for Eastern came from Trent Reiman and freshman Ferdinand Ammer as they defeated their dual opponents 7-5.

Eastern remains winless against the Gamecocks; the loss Friday gave the Gamecocks a 14-0 series lead over the Panthers.

Eastern’s last match of spring break came against Tennessee Tech on Saturday, and Eastern lost 7-0.

The 7-0 loss against Tennessee Tech marked the third sweep Eastern suffered over the break, as well as the eighth time Eastern has been swept this sea-

son.

Before the match, the Golden Eagles held a 16-1 record over Eastern.

Tennessee Tech dominated Eastern Saturday, not letting any Eastern player get more than three points in a single set and winning every singles match in straight sets.

The dual team of redshirt senior Jacob Wendell and Woodson were the closest to winning for Eastern, losing their dual match 5-3 before the match was unfinished.

Despite the losses, the team faced different challenges that gave the players experience.

“All four matches we played over the break

were unique for us,” Kercheval said. “It really covered a lot of scenarios and forced us to approach each match thoughtfully and with good focus.”

Kercheval also said the match against Jacksonville State was a big match for the team because the team realized where it was at.

Eastern will play its third OVC match of the season Friday against Eastern Kentucky, and it is also the first match Eastern will host on its home courts this season.

Baseball team improves in OVC opener

By Maher Kawash Baseball Reporter | @DEN_Sports A 1-2 finish from the weekend and start to Ohio Valley Conference play may not seem impressive, but it was exactly what the Eastern baseball team needed.

The Panthers continued their extensive road trip this past weekend and their opponent, Jacksonville State, was a team that caused problems across the entire conference a year ago.

But there would be no sweeping Eastern this time around as the Panthers second win of the season came in the series opener against Jacksonville State Friday.

With an eight-game losing streak looming, the Panthers used the young arm of Freshman Alex Stevenson to find success.

Stevenson came into the series as the only Eastern pitcher with a win this season and with the help of the batting lineup, he earned his second.

Stevenson and the Panthers ran past Jacksonville State in game one by escaping with a 7-5 victory.

The lineup showed its growth from throughout the early part of this season as the Panthers were finally able to come through in two-out situations.

Eastern hit an impressive .429 from the plate in those situations while the pitching staff held Jacksonville State to a stagnant .125 average with two outs.

The eighth inning is what made the difference for Eastern as the team struck Jacksonville State for three runs to take regain the lead.

Joe Duncan and Nicholas McCormick provided nearly half of the Panthers’ offense on the day, earning three hits each in the win.

Game three offered a similar trend as the Panthers earned some runs late to make it a ballgame.

A year ago, the rebuilding Panthers may have been set out of track after a three-run home run put the opponent ahead 4-0 in the very first inning.

But what would later be a five-run deficit did not stop Eastern from coming back to force extras behind a power strike of their own.

Matt Albert had one solo homerun in the second inning, but his second solo shot in the sixth inning is what inched the Panthers within just one run from the Gamecocks in a 6-5 ballgame.

McCormick continued his hot swinging at the plate in the series with a leadoff double in the ninth as he would later score on an error to send the game to extra innings.

But despite a clear mark of improvement for the Panthers, Jacksonville State took advantage of runners on the corners in the 11th inning, and roped in the game-winning run with

a single.

The game three extra-inning loss marks the second straight for Eastern as game two offered more of the same with a 6-3 loss.

The Panthers walk away from the series with just one win and a 2-16 record overall, but they still gain some momentum before returning home soon.

Eastern turns its momentum now to another midweek affair against Indiana State on the road, and it caps a lengthy road trip.

The Panthers return home this weekend to try and build off their up and down start to OVC play.

Softball wins 2 in final tournament

By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports The Eastern softball team had its final look at its team over the weekend before it heads into the conference portion of the schedule Saturday at Williams Field. The Panthers came away with a pair of wins but dropped both games to Mercer.

Eastern opened the tournament with a with a 4-2 comeback win over Eastern Michigan. The Eagles scored twice in the third inning but the Panthers answered in the bottom of the fourth taking advantage of a pair of errors by the Eagles.

Senior Amber Toenyes started the comeback with a single scoring freshman Mia Davis. The run was unearned.

Junior Andrea Roberts tied it up with a single to the left side to score sophomore Amber Matchett, who pinch ran for Toenyes.

Eastern came away with two more runs in the fifth inning off a 2-RBI single by sophomore Maria DeVito.

Junior Michelle Rogers picked up her eighth win of the season, surpassing her win total from last season, to improve to 8-4 on the year. Junior Jessica Wireman got her second save of the year as well.

Eastern went down early against Savannah State but took care of the 1-0 first-inning deficit and came away with a 6-1 win.

Sophomore Mady Poulter dominated the Savannah State pitching and drove in four runs while hitting her second career home run. She hit a 3-run home run to left field in the fifth to give the Panthers some added insurance runs.

Wireman picked up the win with freshman McKenna Coffman closing out the final two innings. She made her Eastern debut March 11 where she recorded two outs including a strikeout.

This time around she gave up no runs and had one strikeout.

Mercer was the host of the tournament and the Panthers could not make it past the Bears. Eastern lost 3-1 and 7-4 in its two games with the tournament hosts.

In the final game of the tournament, Eastern got a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but the Bears tied it and kept pulling away from the Panthers. Eastern had it within one run in the sixth inning, but Mercer tacked on two to finish off a 7-4 win.

The Panthers finished the pre season with a 14-14 record overall against non-conference opponents and will start their Ohio Valley Conference play Saturday against Belmont at Williams Field.

The Panthers will play a doubleheader against the Bruins Saturday before turning around and playing Tennessee State Sunday in a doubleheader at home as well.
