FACULT Y SENATE
Special Ed. chair receives Mendez Service Award By Amy Wywialowski Staff Reporter
Kathlene Shank cares about her students on a personal level, a junior special education major said. Student Kelsey Myers described Shank, her adviser and department chair, as a person who makes the effort to go beyond the typical requirements of an adviser by going the extra mile to encourage and get to know her students. “When I met her as a freshman, I was scared of her like a typical freshman,” Myers said. “She cares about her students and she makes the effort to know your name and get to know you on a personal level.” Myers is not alone in her opinion as Shank was announced the Fall 2011 recipient of the Luis Clay Mendez Service Award presented by the Faculty Senate. Shank said she believes service is a major part of her life and encouraging others to get involved is what makes life worth living. “I serve because I want to make a difference in the lives of students as well as people with disabilities, not for personal gain,”
Shank said. “A life of service is important, and we should all live and use our unique talents to make a difference and improve the lives of others.” Shank said she credits a lot of service and inspiration to her students. “All of what I do has to do with providing my students with integrative learning opportunities to work with people with disabilities,” Shank said. “The students get so much joy from it, and it is just my job to make sure they as future teachers will know what they are talking about and doing.” In her letter recommending Shank for the award, Melissa Jones-Bromenshenkel, a special education associate professor credits Shank for staying current in the field. “Kathlene is well-known in the field for staying abreast of what is happening in education in general as particularly related to events/issues that significantly impact special education and the higher education programs preparing teachers to serve in that capacity,” Jones-Bromenshenkel said in the letter.

Members of the Board of Trustees will vote on a $3.2 million proposal to resurface the track at O’Brien Stadium at their meeting today. Jarrod Scherle, student representative for the Board of Trustees and student executive vice president, said it has been 10 years since the track was last surfaced, and in that time they have had to patch the track about 200 times. “Students have made many comments to me about the condition of the track and the shape that it is in,” Scherle said. “The undersurface of the track has been bubbling up and this issue is very important with regard to safety.” If approved, student tuition will not be affected as the resurfacing comes from local funds and rollover money from Fiscal Year 11, Scherle said. The Board of Trustees will meet at 1 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. President Bill Perry said the Board of Trustees will be accepting a gift of land from a retired botany professor. Wesley Whiteside taught at Eastern for almost 30 years as a botany professor and created a living trust to transfer his farmland and more than five acres of arboretum and botanical gardens to Eastern. “(The trustees) will all be together for the first time with the new and old members, and I think that the gift of land will be a highlight for the members to see that kind of generosity from an emeritus faculty member,” Perry said. The biological sciences department may use the botanical gardens for research purposes, Scherle said. “This will be a great addition to the biological sciences department and students will be able to get hands-on experience in the field,” Scherle said.
The BOT’s new lineup Four of the seven members of the board of trustees will be having their first meeting today. Here is a look at the new, and returning, members, starting with the four incoming members. • Joseph Dively, of Charleston, who is president of First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust and a former chairman of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce • Rene Hutchinson, of Chicago, who has worked at Allstate Insurance Company in Northbrook for about 30 years • William Dano III, of Oswego, who has more than 20 years of business experience in sales management • Kristopher Goetz, of Lombard, who is operations director at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago Here are the returning members: • Board Chairman Robert Webb, of Mattoon • Vice Chairman Roger Kratochvil, of Mt. Olive • Leo Welch, of O’Fallon, whose term expires in 2013.
He also said he is interested to see the new Board dynamic with what each member will bring to the table. Gov. Pat Quinn made four appointments and two reappointments to the Board of Trustees on Oct. 24 in accordance with an amendment to the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act. The amendment stated that if appointments were not made by Oct. 25, then members with expired terms would be removed from the Board of Trustees. Perry said he and Webb met with Dively on Nov. 1 and met with the other members in Chicago on Nov. 4. They had an orientation regarding committee structure, bylaws and regulations, functions and how the Board of Trustees meetings are generally structured, Perry said.

COUNCIL FOR AC ADEMIC AFFAIRS
CAA rules on revisions to Recreation major By Robyn Dexter Staff Reporter
The Council on Academic Affairs discussed the meeting of University Learning Goal subcommittees after Thanksgiving break and made revisions to several courses at its meeting on Thursday. At the Nov. 10 meeting, the CAA discussed the need for an additional student member to serve on the fourth learning goal subcommittee. The University Learning Goals include writing, speaking, critical thinking and global citizenship. Though there are subcommittees for each learning goal, CAA only has three student members. Aseret Gonzalez, student vice president of academic affairs and a senior sociology major, said she had discussed this open position with two students, and is waiting to hear back from them on whether the CAA meeting time could fit in their schedules. Rebecca Throneburg, professor of communication disorders and sciences, said the Committee for the Assessment of Student Learning representatives have been invited and of these four,

TREE FESTIVAL
Sara Bush Lincoln Health Center to be transformed into winter wonderland By Sara Hall City Editor
The 13th annual Festival of Trees will be today and Saturday at Sara Bush Lincoln Health Center. Kim Uphoff, the vice president of Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation, said the festival helps get the community into the holiday spirit. “It’s an opportunity to transform the center into a winter wonderland,” she said. Uphoff said the public is invited
to bid in a silent auction for decorated trees, wreaths and specialty items auctioned off on Saturday. She said a gala event will also be sponsored, although it is already sold out. Uphoff said there will also be several holiday items for sale at the “Merry Marketplace.” The festival will also have “Rudolph’s Raffle.” Tickets for the raffle are $1 each or 10 for $5. Local residents donated the decorated trees, she said. “We have a group of design-
ers who volunteer their time, talent and resources to the trees,” she said. Uphoff said the event has been every year since its start. “We get incredibly strong support from community,” she said. “It’s always well attended and well supported, and people look forward to attending.” Uphoff said the community is invited to attend. The festival is located in located in the Education Center. The festival will take place today
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. She said the proceeds raised will support funding future campaigns for the Center’s Healthy Kids program and the expansion of the health center. General admission is $3. Admission for children under the age of 12 is free. Sara Hall can be reached at 581-2812 or smhall3@eiu.edu.

46 detained after Occupy closes Chicago bridge By The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Chicago police say more than 40 people were briefly detained during an antiWall Street protest that shut down a downtown bridge during evening

rush hour. Hundreds of protesters marched in downtown Chicago Thursday evening and filed onto a bridge crossing the Chicago River. Protesters shut down the bridge for about 30 minutes.
Forty-six people sat down on the bridge and waited for police officers to detain them. They ignored warnings from police. Eventually, each protester was told to stand up and walk to a waiting school bus. Those detained weren't hand-
cuffed, and a Chicago police spokesman says they were issued citations and released. The remaining protesters then headed to the city's financial district where they've maintained a presence for about two months.

PERFORMANCE
Jazz Lab gets crowds’ toes tapping By Samantha McDaniel Activities Editor
Fun, toe-tapping jazz music was played Thursday by Eastern’s Jazz Lab Band. Paul Johnston, the director of the Jazz Lab Band and an associate professor of jazz studies, described the different compositions to the audience as “toe-taping, some beautiful and some that are just plan fun.” Audience members were treated to 13 jazz compositions, such as; “Blue Skies” arranged by Paul Jennings; “Witchcraft” and “The Way You Look Tonight” arranged by Sammy Nestico; “The Maids of Cadiz” arranged by Gil Evans; “Portrait of Louis Armstrong” by Duke Ellington; “Topsy” arranged by Dave Wolpe; and ending with “When the Saints Go Marching In” arranged by Dean Sorenson, among others. Some of the compositions included solo performances by members of the lab band. Allison Buettner, a trumpet player in the Jazz Lab Band and a soloist in “Portrait of Louis Armstrong” and “The Maids of Cadiz,” said she liked performing her solos, but enjoyed playing with the band more. “It doesn’t mean much to have a solo unless you have a good ensemble to back you up,” Buettner said.
“Maid of Cadiz” was first a collaboration with Miles Davis and featured on the album Miles Ahead. “I really like the Gil Evans piece “The Maids of Cadiz,” Johnston said. “It was so different from anything else we did, which makes the piece interesting.” The band also performed a new twist on “When the Saints Go Marching In.” This twist gave the compositions a New Orleans jazz feel, he said. Anna Cox, a sophomore psychology major at Lake Land College, said this composition was her favorite. “It was on of my favorite songs while growing up with it as a kid and they had a great twist to it,” Cox said. Buettner said she liked the tune. “It’s a familiar tune and the audience was more engaged during it,” Buettner said. “The concert is a heck of a lot better if the audience is enjoying the music.” Johnston said the compositions ranged in style, theme, composer and era that helps to teach the members of the band different elements of jazz music. “We tried to do some things that were beautiful and some things that were just fun,” Johnston said. Johnston said he thought the concert went well. “It was a lot of fun,” Johnston

said. “It was great to play for such a great audience.” Johnston said this concert was the last concert that would include Michael Berry, guitar, who is graduating, and Danny Kent, saxophones, who will be
student teaching. “I feel fortunate to work with this great bunch of students and we will really miss the two folks that are leaving us this semester,” Johnston said. Cox said she just enjoyed the music.
“I’m a big fan of jazz music and big band music and anything in your face, and this band did great,” Cox said. Samantha McDaniel can be reached at 581-2812 or slmcdaniel@eiu.edu.

Mandat, of Southern, has performed clarinet for 45 years By Uriah Berryhill Staff Reporter
International clarinetist and composer Eric Mandat performed in the Dounda Fine Arts Center for the Faculty Recital Series on Thursday. Mandat said he has been playing the clarinet for 45 years now, and enjoys it every time he performs. He said he is devoted to the clarinet because he loves the sound it makes. The sound of the clarinet initially convinced him at age two to pick up the instrument. Before every performance, he said he does breathing preparations and relaxing exercises. He said his favorite pieces of works are classical pieces such as Mozart and the work he has composed himself. He said he has stumbled many times during a performance. The solution to a mistake is to take a new direction, and no one
will ever know that the performer made a mistake, he said. Mandat tours worldwide as a soloist and chamber musician presenting new clarinet music as well as traditional. He has presented his music in Chicago, Stockholm, Tokyo and Vancouver had a solo part in the Latvian National Chamber Orchestra. He has also been in the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, Cleveland Chamber Symphony and is a member of the Chicago Symphony’s Music. If someone plays with their heart and soul with their music, then they are his favorite musicians, he said. Audience member Hillary Hutchins, junior communication studies major, said the show was amazing and she liked how he incorporated many instruments besides the clarinet in his show. Uriah Berryhill can be reached at 581-2812 or usberryhill@eiu.edu.
The Residence Hall Association met to discuss post-Thanksgiving plans and how to spread holiday spirit to Eastern and the surrounding communities on Thursday in Andrews Hall. Vice President Andrew Lilek encouraged all RHA members to participate in Adopt a Family, a program that provides families in need both here in Charleston and in Coles County with gifts of clothes, toys and household items. “Representatives should talk to their hall councils about Adopt a Family to help our community,” Lilek said. He said all the information on the program was online at eiu.edu/volunteer. Dondre Keeler, National and Illinois Communication Coordinator, said in his report that forms for the Illinois Residence Hall Association conference were due by the end of the day. The conference will take place from Feb. 15-17. During the meeting, RHA members broke up into their separate committees to talk about future plans for after Thanksgiving and finals week. Each committee reported what they were planning. The committees discussed future plans for next semester

including the formation of a Relay for Life team, the organization of Social Justice and Diversity Week in March and participating in service days in April and on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Currently, the Community Service committee has boxes in the residence halls for the collection of coats and toys. The items collected from this drive will be donated to the less fortunate of the community. The Presidents Council informed the rest of the RHA about the movies to be shown in Buzzard Hall over the upcoming months, and will feature movies such as “The Hangover 2.” Lawson Hall Resident Director Alison Sinadinos encouraged RHA members to attend an event featuring guest speaker Eva Kor, who is coming to Eastern after Thanksgiving break. Kor is a Holocaust survivor and will be speaking about her experiences at 6:30 p.m on Nov. 29. Another event happening after break is Red Week. Red Week consists of activities and events to fight against HIV/ AIDS. The funds gathered from Red Week will go towards the fight against HIV/AIDS.

O pinions Post office part of history, preserve it Students will no longer be able to conveniently send packages to their loved ones. Charleston’s post office at 320 Sixth St., near the square may soon be home to a new parking lot for Huck’s Convenient Food Store. This is just one of the possibilities to what the empty post office building will be used for. However, the one that is for certain is that Charleston’s post office on the historic square will be no more. The only post office that will remain in Charleston is in the Northwest Business Park at 667 Windsor Rd. This poses a problem because students will now have to go farther to send a package to their family or friends. The only option for students to go to the post office now is to drive and this could be a problem for students who don’t own a car. The post office’s consolidated location is too far to walk to and not safe to bike to because it is off a two-lane highway. So the only option students have to get to the post office is to drive. Another problem with the post office closing is that it is a historic building. In Thursday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News, Kit Morice, chairman of the Charleston Historic Preservation Commission said, “From a preservation angle, tearing down the old post office building to expand an existing business is not a neat gain for the community.” The old post office should be preserved and not torn down just to make way for a parking lot. The building needs to be named on the National Register of Historic Places in Coles County, Illinois, so the beauty that is the Charleston square won’t be tainted by another business hungry for more money and more customers. Eastern’s very own Old Main and Pemberton Hall are on the National Register of Historic Places list. Pemberton has been on the list since Aug. 26, 1982 and Old Main has been on the list since June 16, 1981. If all these historic places on Eastern’s campus are on the list why can’t the post office be on that list as well? We as a community should fight to keep the building and not just sit and do nothing about it. Our mission to preserve the rich history of this community into the future must extend beyond campus. The post office is too important to the square to lose, and the square is too important to Charleston to cede to immediate commercial demands. If we need to get rid of a post office, we should get rid of the one that is already far from students and the square.

Opinions Editor Dave Balson
The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Athletic dept., administration denying coverage
The search for the next football head coach is in full swing and it is our goal to provide extensive coverage of the finalists’ visits to campus, in order to help you understand who the candidates are and allow you to form an opinion on which you think is the best choice. After hearing about an “open forum,” which the public is invited to Friday, we thought we would have a great opportunity to photograph and interview the candidate, Randall McCray. Unfortunately, the administration and the athletic department told us no recorders or cameras would be allowed at this public, open forum, as it was publicized in a press release from the athletic department Monday. At an event the public can attend, there should never be any restrictions against bringing these two items – both of which help our staff report the story most accurately for our readers. Instead, we are being forced to only take notes of the candidate’s answers. If the athletic department is afraid we’ll get in the way or distract others, they’re wrong. Photographers can stand 50 yards away from a person and still get a close-up photo. Recorders are the smallest, least distracting piece of equipment we own. I brought up my concerns in an interview with President Bill Perry Thursday, and I used a recorder to save his response. I asked him if I could use it, he agreed, and from that point on it was like the recorder wasn’t even there. Distracting, ha! Perry stood by the restrictions, saying it is the “traditional” way of doing things. He denied that it was an “open forum,” as the athletic department has so openly publicized it to be. He called it an “interview,” comparing it to the one he’ll be having with the candidate. I’m sorry, maybe I’m off my nut, but those don’t seem to be similar in any way. Both Perry and Rich Moser, of media and public relations in the athletic department, denied that the event was a press conference. Moser called it an open forum. Perry called it an interview. This just made
Alex McNamee the whole situation even more ridiculous. No matter the title attached to it, it is and will be a press conference if there ever was one. The way Perry described it – the candidate making a statement and then taking questions – is as good a definition of press conference as I’ve ever heard. So why restrict the media? What do you have to hide? Each candidate should be used to having cameras and recorders in their faces. All four are from major Division I football schools, which draw a ludicrous amount of press coverage. If it’s the candidate who is saying he doesn’t want recorders or cameras at this, then he shouldn’t be the next head football coach anywhere, let alone Eastern. These men are public figures and should expect to be treated as such, especially by student media. No matter what Perry told me, anyone in the public is invited; thus, the event is public and these restrictions shouldn’t be allowed. Granted, Perry is correct in some of his assumptions. Yes, we have an option to talk to the candidates aside from their campus visits. I’ve taken this route. All four candidates have voicemails on the phones in their offices. Since calling them Monday, I haven’t gotten a response. Unfortunately for The News and its readers, this is just another example of the athletic department and the administration trying to keep things away from us. I haven’t heard a good excuse for these restrictions yet. I don’t care what you want to call this thing – an open forum or
interview. We should be allowed in to do our jobs. We haven’t had a football-coach search in 25 years, but now that it’s here the athletic department is doing everything to keep us away. I’ve asked Moser to make a short period of time during the day, maybe 10 minutes, where we can photograph the candidate and formerly ask a few questions. He said no. The candidate will be here for two days! You’re not going to tell me he won’t have 10 free minutes on the schedule. Moser is supposed to be the media relations man for the athletic department, but by denying my request he’s not communicating with the media effectively. Moreover, Perry is calling the search process one of the most open of its kind in the nation – more open than any university has ever been about this specific kind of search. Sure, you told us who the candidates are. You dangled that information in our faces. Now, all I see is the same old crap of athletic departments and administrations trying to restrict student-media coverage. A new age of Eastern football is upon us and we’re excited about it, but by restricting us the university is already setting a tone that this is the way it’s going to be for the next 25 years or however long he stays. By doing this, they’re telling the future head coach it’s OK to bully the student media, ignore them and not take them seriously. The university is wrong. They’re doing a disservice to the faculty and staff of this university, but especially the students, who pay over $100 in each of their student fees to keep the athletic department afloat and this losing football program alive. By restricting us, you’re restricting them. See where that gets you. Alex McNamee is the Editor in Chief. He can be reached at DENeic@gmail.com or 581-7324

Occupy Wall Street movement losing effectiveness How can I put this as gently as possible? The Occupy Wall Street movement is being relegated to ineffective unimportance as quickly as the New York City Police Department cleared them out of their encampment in Zuccotti Park early Tuesday morning. After two months of protest, camping out and doing everything they can to show how different they supposedly are compared to the 1 percent, the Occupy movement at large is facing an interesting point in their short history. While the basics of the movement hold some merit, such as the opposition to crony capitalism and the all-around dislike of banks, the expression of anger over these issues has been clouded by a massive lack of a central message and discipline by claimed members of the movement. Several weeks ago, I called for the news media to be fair in its coverage of the movement’s mistakes, and I would say that has happened at the local level more than the national level. This is exemplified by the mere fact that local news media have had to report the negative events that have made the Occupy movement ineffective. What negative events, you ask? Multiple events and reports of assault, rape, vandalism, public disturbances and disease have popped up from Occupy groups around the country. Even if some of those arrested actually had nothing to do with getting out the message or furthering the goals of the Occupy movement, their association with and support of the
Greg Sainer movement has been fairly clear in all cases. In whatever way those not associated with the Occupy movement have obtained their knowledge about the movement’s actions and ideas, the public’s perception is beginning to indicate a less positive outlook. On Wednesday, Public Policy Polling released the results of a survey showing only 33 percent of voters polled support Occupy Wall Street’s goals, while 45 percent say they oppose them. Compare that to a month ago, when 35 percent said they supported the movement and only 36 percent were opposed, and one begins to sense a significant shift in the movement’s perceived effectiveness. Was this not supposed to be the movement that, according to some, would become the American equivalent to the Arab Spring? Was this movement not meant to be the beginning of a “revolution” in regard to the “system” Occupy Wall Street claims has created a great disparity in our country? If such is

the case, then it is a very, very slow beginning. I am not in any way saying that the Occupy Wall Street movement is dead. The students who made up Occupy EIU did not stop because they suddenly felt their efforts were pointless. The nationwide effort will likely continue in whatever way, shape or form it becomes as time goes on, as it happened in some ways with the Tea Party. The issue is that the Occupy movement has allowed itself to create a negative image that does not sit comfortably with mainstream Americans. They haven’t done much more than physically occupy whatever park or public square they found suitable in their respective cities, conduct a lot of screaming matches with intellectual opposition, and commit legally questionable and plainly illegal actions when attempting to spread their ideological message at large. These people have the First Amendment right to express their point of view, but physical occupation of public space that produces an increase in undesirable and unsafe incidents does not fit the spirit of free speech nor good citizenship. Other routes exist as laid out by Constitution and our laws, and if the Occupy movement wishes to remain relevant, they must realize this. Greg Sainer is a senior communications studies major.

Lightworks in Mattoon to brighten up holidays By Timothy Deters Staff Reporter
The 20th annual Lightworks holiday light show will begin Friday at Peterson Park in Mattoon and will run until Dec. 25. Lightworks features numerous light displays that viewers can enjoy as they drive along the road winding through Peterson Park, located at 500 Broadway Ave. in Mattoon. Angelia Burgett, tourism director of Mattoon, said about 15,000 cars visit Lightworks each year. “It’s a positive part of the holiday,” Burgett said. “We’re very proud of it.” While most displays are Christmas related, others are patriotic or educational, Burgett said.
Burgett said there will be five new displays this year. She said her favorite display is a 100-foot long metal archway covered in lights. She said the archway was made by a local welder and is an icon of the park. The first four Friday nights in December, local churches will sponsor a live nativity scene, Burgett said. Melissa Hull, a resident of Mattoon, said she has visited Lightworks nearly every year since she was in kindergarten. “It’s a part of my childhood that I like to revisit every holiday season,” Hull said as her children ran along the playground in Peterson Park. Hull says that her favorite display is one of a reindeer in an outhouse. This display was added to
Lightworks last year and was a comical hit, said Burgett. Hull plans on visiting Lightworks again this year and bringing her children, Anthony, 7, and Ashley, 5. Burgett said viewers of Lightworks must be in a vehicle to go along the display road due to safety concerns. However, the rest of the park is still open to the public as normal, she said. Lightworks is open 5-9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Admission is free, though donations are welcome, Burgett said. All donations fund next year’s Lightworks.

AWARD, from page 1 While Shank has received many other awards at varying levels, from her students, department and state to the national level, she said she feels like she is coming full circle by being recognized by the university. “I’m very blessed to be recognized,” she said. “Other students and faculty in the department have just as much if not more, but do not receive the same recognition.” The Faculty Senate began taking applications for the award in early October. “Applicants are nominated or can self nominate, and we announced our decision at the Oct. 25 Faculty Senate meeting,” said Jeff Stowell, Faculty Senate Award Chair. “We regularly get 10 to 12 applicants, it just depends on the year.” Around this time is when Shank, received notification of the award, which she will receive at her college’s graduation ceremony in December. “I received a phone call from Jeff Stowell informing me I had won and would receive a letter, I didn’t even know I was nominated,” Shank said. “I was very, very pleasantly surprised, when I think of this award I think of it going to faculty, not an administrator, I was humbled. I do service and I am proud of it,; I don’t expect awards for it.” Amy Wywialowski can be reached at 581-2812 or alwywialowski@eiu.edu

Cafe begins live music event every Saturday evening By Brad York Verge Editor
Jackson Avenue Coffee (J.A.C.) is a location to go blowoff steam, study for hours on end and socialize as the creamy fragrance of lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates stream though the air. J.A.C., located at 708 Jackson Ave., may sound like an unusual place for a concert setting, but Dan Reible believes it is the perfect location for live music that has not been offered to Charleston in some time. “In the Charleston area there is no place to relax and listen to music except for a bar,” Reible said. “I’d like a place where people can come relax, have a cup of coffee, sandwich, bagel and take it easy and listen to some good acoustic music.” Reible and his wife Vicki are currently shuffling through papers in order to become the rightful owners of J.A.C.
Reible moved to Mattoon in 1984 after serving in the Navy and soon became a truck driver, traveling the nation with his wife. Reible has played for various bands in the past and mentioned to his friend, Ryan Dawson and the current owner of J.A.C., he was looking for a place to host weekly concerts on Saturday evenings. Dawson then asked Reible if he ever pictured himself owning a café. Reible expressed an interest, and soon, Dawson offered to sell the business. Dawson said the Reibles’ have been his customers since J.A.C. opened nearly eight years ago. “I planned on going back to school this summer to complete a degree in teacher’s certification,” Dawson said. “We were ready to move on to new things. I figured it is best not to run anything into the ground, so I offered to sell the place.” Dawson has high hopes for

By The Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — Two Republican congressmen became visibly emotional Thursday during a federal court hearing over a new congressional map drawn by Democrats, and a third proclaimed the plan as “a legislative drive-by shooting.” Four GOP members of the state’s congressional delegation testified during the first day of a federal trial that will decide the fate of a Republican lawsuit against the map. Reps. John Shimkus and Donald Manzullo got choked up during their testimony, and Rep. Peter Roskam recalled for the court his visceral reaction when he first saw the map when his wife pulled it up on their computer at home. “I described it to her as a legislative drive-by shooting,” Roskam recalled because it would keep the state’s Democratic incumbents safe and decimate recent Republican gains in Congress from Illinois, which sent five freshmen to the U.S. House in 2010.
Prominent Republicans, including all but one of the 11 GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation, have sued the state over the map that Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law this summer. The lawsuit alleges that not only will the new map unfairly wipe out Republican gains in Congress, it dilutes the voting influence of the state’s growing Latino population. They have offered an alternative map to the three-judge panel that will decide the case. It’s a court battle that will be closely watched as Democrats nationwide try to reclaim the U.S. House after losing it during a 2010 GOP wave. New congressional districts are drawn every 10 years based on the latest census numbers. Democrats dominated Illinois’ map-making this year because they control the General Assembly and the governor’s office. The new map drew Republicans out of their districts and lumped incumbent GOP members together or threw them into Democrat-friendly territory.

She also said the faculty experts for each subcommittee will be in attendance. The learning goal subcommittees will meet at 2 p.m. and the regular CAA agenda will be discussed at 3 p.m. on Dec. 1. The agenda also had six recreation courses to be revised, as well as the revision of the Recreation Administration major and the Recreation Administration: Therapeutic Recreation Option. These courses include: Recreation Services for People with Disabilities, Foundations of Therapeutic Recreation, Therapeutic Recreation Modalities and Facilitation Techniques, Evidence Based Intervention Planning
in Therapeutic Recreation, Advanced Therapeutic Recreation Processes, and Assessment and Administration in Therapeutic Recreation. All of the revisions were approved. Michael Mulvaney, assistant professor of the department of recreation administration, said the major is being revised because the elective options are being decreased. “We are also shifting REC 3900, Operation of Leisure Facilities, into the core,” he said. “These changes will help students get their certification.” The CAA will reconvene on Dec. 1 in Booth Library Room 4440.

Panthers, McKinnie show real potential I know it’s just one game, but after the Eastern’s men's basketball team’s victory over the University of Loyola-Chicago, I am ecstatic to see the Panthers play again. They are sitting at 1-1 after playing two good teams. The loss was 79-72 to defending Missouri Valley Champion Indiana State. I really think the Panthers have a good chance to make some noise in the Ohio Valley Conference this year. Head coach Mike Miller has assembled his deepest team in some time and that will be the team's strength. It gives a coach a lot of confidence knowing he has 12 guys on his team that can play minutes and perform at a high level. With the additions of seven newcomers, I was unsure how good the bench could be, but freshman guard Joey Miller and freshman forward Josh Piper are already giving the team good minutes. Junior guard Austin Akers is exciting as well. He makes the occasional bad pass, but he has the ability to run a Division I offense at the point guard position. He showed that with 5 assists and 1 turnover against Indiana State. But, the player I am most excited about is sophomore forward Alfonzo McKinnie. I have said before that McKinnie has by far the most raw talent on Eastern's roster. And he showed all of his abilities Wednesday night.
Rob Mortell McKinnie led the team with 13 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals. The 13 points was a little surprising to me, but Mike Miller said McKinnie put in a ton of work over the offseason. It seems as though he has developed a solid series of post moves that can be effective. McKinnie was also 5-of-5 from the freethrow line, showing that he has the ability to develop a jump shot and when that happens look out. Miller told me the sky is the limit with this player and I have to say I agree. If he develops a consistent outside shot and puts on a few more pounds of muscle, his athleticism and defensive ability could earn him a huge paycheck. I am really excited to see where McKinnie is come March. If he continues on the path he is on he will easily be one of the best forwards in the conference. Rob Mortell can be reached at 581-7944 or at rdmortell@eiu.edu.

RUGBY, from page 8 “It’s certainly great for Eastern Illinois University and the sport of rugby,” Eastern head coach Frank Graziano said following the Sept. 18 match-up with Quinnipiac. “It took 13 years to get to this point and with the connection we have with Quinnipiac; it probably starts a new era.” Eastern continued to steam roll through their schedule as they were set to travel to Hamden, Conn., to take on the Quinnipiac Bobcats in the second of three meetings on the season. With Eastern sitting at a perfect 5-0, the team boarded a plane for the first time since the 2007 season and headed east to New England. The Panthers were able to overcome adversity and they recorded their first signature road win of the season. “The three Quinnipiac games from a game prospective were very crucial for the sport of rugby in general,” Graziano said. “We had a great experience when we went to Quinnipiac to play, and certainly those three games were the highlight of the season.” The Panthers beat up on the Bobcats by a score of 33-5. Following the dramatic road victory, the Panthers returned to Lakeside Field to host the Northern Iowa Panthers in what was the most physical game of the
season. Graziano had feared that the clashing styles of play would make it difficult for his small and speedy squad to stop the much larger and physical Northern Iowa squad on the defensive side of the ball. “We just don’t physically match up very well with them. It’s difficult for our 150-pound girls to tackle their 210-pound girls,” Graziano said. “To some extent I think we had a great chance to shut them out that game, but to only give up five points was a great win for us.” The Panthers improved to 7-0 on the season with a 24-5 win over Northern Iowa. Coming off of two signature wins against Quinnipiac and Northern Iowa, the Panthers used that momentum to get their offensive attack back on pace. The Panthers have always been seen as a runand-gun team that routinely puts up big numbers on the scoreboard, but leading up to the final three games of the season, the 2011 version of Panther rugby was not blowing out their opponents. The Panthers were involved in low scoring affairs throughout the season, but the light bulb finally went off and the Panthers offensive attack exploded for 222 points over their final three games.
ADDS, from page 8 In the second game, one bench player logged more playing time than two of the starters. Mitchell played 28 minutes, scoring 15 points. Mitchell’s 15 points led the team. The next top bench player was Crunk, who played 14 minutes, scoring seven points. In the first game, Crunk came off the bench to play more minutes than anyone on the team. Crunk played 24 minutes and tied for a team-high in points with 15.
Wyss also scored 15 points, coming off the bench. She played 19 minutes. The bench combined to play more minutes than the starting five in the game.

The Panthers dominated the Iowa State Cyclones, the Quinnipiac Bobcats and the Purdue Boilermakers to record their third perfect season in the last four years. Over those three games, the Panthers outscored their opponents by a total of 222-25. The offensive explosion was led by junior wing Lauren Doyle who tallied 11 trys over the final three games of the season. Although the Panthers were “perfect” in 2011, Graziano said he still sees his 2005 team as his most talented bunch. The 2005 squad did not go undefeated but is regarded as the most complete and skilled squad to come through Eastern during Graziano’s 13-year tenure. “I still hold the ’05 team at the top, but this squad is within the top five of all-time over the last 13 years. I think this team needed to have a little more tenacity and toughness on the goal line, and I’ve had some teams that were definitely better than us defensively,” Graziano said. “From a scoring prospective we were as athletic and fast as we have ever been. It was a good season for us and the girls improved throughout the entire year.” Jordan Pottorff can be reached at 581-7942 or jbpottoff@eiu.edu.

RUGBY
Win over Grand Valley paced season By Jordan Pottorff Staff Reporter
The women’s rugby team capped off another memorable season with its third undefeated season in the last four years. This year’s team did not resemble the Panther teams of the past, but it overcame multiple obstacles on its way to perfection. The Panthers season was full of excitement from the get-go as they welcomed the Grand Valley State Golden Rams to Lakeside Field for a chance at vengeance. Grand Valley State did what few other teams have done over the past four year’s as they were able to record a win against Eastern. The Panthers were heavily anticipating the season opener and they were able to start the year on a good note with a 46-7 win over Grand Valley State. “This sets the tone for everything we are doing this year,” junior wing Kayla Heal said following the win on Sept. 3. “Everyone just brought it today and we played like it was our job.” The Panthers continued to impress leading up to the marquee game on their schedule. With Eastern leading the way for the sport of women’s rugby, they had the honors of hosting the Quinnipiac Bobcats in what was the first NCAA Division I women’s rugby game. The Panthers played up to expectations and were able to record a history-making 24-0 win over the Bobcats. RUGBY, page 7

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Panthers adds one player By Alex McNamee Editor-in-chief
The Eastern women’s basketball team signed a player from Althoff Catholic High School in Belleville, Alece Shumpert signed during the NCAA’s early national letter of intent period. Shumpert will become the second player on Eastern’s team from Althoff Catholic. Sophomore guard Jordyne Crunk is the other player from the high school. Shumpert was named to the First Team all-South Seven Conference team her junior season, averaging 11 points per game. Starting lineups changing Two games into the season, the women’s basketball team has had two different starting lineups. This is going to a trend the rest of the season, head coach Brady Sallee said. Sallee said the starting lineup will be adjusted based on the team they’re playing. If they’re playing a bigger team, they’ll start the taller players to balance out the size match-up, he said. In the first game, the Panthers started Sabina Oroszova, Chantelle Pressley, Mariah King, Sydney Mitchell, and Ta’Kenya Nixon. In the second game, the lineup changed. Sallee chose to go with Kelsey Wyss instead of Mitchell, although Mitchell is the taller player. Bench players being used often Sallee has gone to his bench a lot early in this season.

After a thrilling win against the University of Loyola-Chicago, Eastern’s men’s basketball team heads north to take on in-state rival Northern Illinois. The Panthers enter the game at 1-1 overall, while the Huskies enter the game at 0-2 with losses to the University of Purdue and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Northern Illinois is led offensively senior forward Tim Toler who leads the team averaging 11 points per game. Toler is also averaging 4.5 rebounds and one block per game. Sophomore for ward Aksel Bolin leads the Huskies in rebounding at six per game. Bolin is also averaging 7.5 points per game and shooting 50 percent from the three-point line. Eastern is led offensively by senior guard Jeremy Granger. Granger is averaging 18 points a game, scoring a total of 36 points in the Panthers’ first two games of the season. Also over the Thanksgiving break, the Panthers will take on Eureka College at 7 p.m. at home on November 23 and then against Central Arkansas at 4 p.m. on November 26 on the road in Conway, Ark. Eureka College currently holds a record of 1-0, with the Red Devils’
only win coming over North Park by a score of 81-79. The Red Devils will take on Rockford on Saturday November 19 before heading to Eastern. Eureka College, an NCAA DivisionIII school who competes at in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC), is led by junior forward Dustin Fritsch, who scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the team’s last win. Head coach Chip Wilde is in his fifth season coaching the Red Devils’ with an overall coaching record of 4260. Central Arkansas has yet to win a game this season, posting an 0-3 record after falling to Stanford, Sacramento State, and Philander Smith. Central Arkansas is led by sophomore guard LaQuentin Miles. Miles may appear as a familiar face to some members of the Eastern team, as Miles transferred to Central Arkansas last season from Ohio Valley Conference’s Southeast Missouri. Miles is currently averaging 16 points per game. Around the OVC Southeast Missouri fell short, losing to Bradley by a score of 66-65. Tennessee State won over Fisk by a score of 80-57 at home.
