Election judges, constituents discuss turnout for primary

By Olivia Swenson-Hultz Associate News Editor | @DEN_News As people gathered to cast their votes in the primary elections, election judges and community members shared their opinions on the candidates, why it is important to participate in the elections and how the voter turnout compared to previous years.

“It’s been a good turnout so far, but it’s never as high as we’d like to see it. The percentage is still low for the number of registered voters,” said Andy Cerver, an election judge at the Newman Catholic Center polling station.

He said there is always an issue with voter turnout in the primaries because people do not want to declare their political party.

Ana Lawless, a Charleston High School student serving as an election judge at the Newman Catholic Center, said she had not seen many students present at the polls.

“I don’t think a lot of people knew about this election because it wasn’t presidential,” she said.

Lawless was nominated along with other students taking a civics class to serve as a judge in the election.

Election judge Esther Lutz said she had served as election judge many times and did not think the turnout would be as “lopsided” as it was.

“I think the turnout has to do with what races are contested. So far the Republicans are outweighing the Democrats by quite a bit,” Lutz said.

Jenna Rossi, a senior health studies major, said she usually votes Democratic but wanted to look at the ballot before making a decision on who to vote for.

“I love the fact that we have the right to vote and my voice matters,” Rossi said.

Rossi said she wanted to vote in the primaries because she wants to ensure

High school students Ashtyn Willheim, Ana Lawless and Hope Griffin organize election ballots at The Newman Catholic Center voting poll booth on Tuesday evening. They were nominated to work as election judges by their teacher.

that the best candidates make it into the general election.

“I want people elected who will put more focus into fixing the education system,” said Rossi.

At the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union voting poll station, election judge Teresa Sims said the Democrat and Republican turnout was just about even and about half the voters were Eastern students.

“There’s not usually a lot of voters. It’s usually just students and people who live near here because it’s by (their) precinct,” she said.

Andrew King, a senior kinesiology and sports studies major, said he wanted to vote for someone who cares about taking care of the police force for sheriff.

“I really wanted to come out and support Jimmy Rankin for sheriff and Terry Davis for state representative,” King said.

“Bruce Rauner seems better than the oth-

er options. They seem to have great morals and integrity.”

King said he supports Davis because he speaks his mind and cares about the local community.

The voting turnout at the Union voting poll station began to pick up throughout the evening in comparison to earlier in the day.

Eastern alumnus Thomas Smith said he abstained from voting for governor but voted for Davis for state representative.

“Why do you have to chose to vote for either Democrat or Republican?”

Smith asked.

“If people didn’t come out and vote today why, why the hell bother caring about making a difference in the world.”

CONGRESS: Seven-term Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski held a narrow lead over political newcomer Marie Newman in the 3rd Congressional District. She was backed by progressive groups and lawmakers including Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Seven Democrats are looking to take on GOP Rep. Peter Roskam for the seat representing the 6th Congressional District. Voters in the suburban Chicago district supported Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016, making it one of Democrats' top pick-up possibilities in November.

Cook County Commissioner Jesus "Chuy" Garcia won the Democratic primary to replace Gutierrez, a race that included activist Sol Flores and Chicago police officer Richard Gonzalez.

GOVERNOR: Billionaire J.B. Pritzker won the Democratic nomination for Illinois governor, defeating five others including Chris Kennedy, nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, and state Sen. Daniel Biss, a self-described "middle-class candidate."

Pritzker has put roughly $70 million into his campaign as he now turns his at-

tention to the November election.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has a primary challenge from state Rep. Jeanne Ives, a fiscal and social conservative who says the first-term governor has betrayed the party on issues such as immigration and abortion.

A Pritzker/Rauner matchup in the general election could make the contest the most expensive governor's race in U.S. history, with Rauner already spending freely from his own personal fortune.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: State Sen Kwame Raoul led an eight-Democrat field that included former Gov. Pat Quinn in the race to succeed Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Her surprise announcement that she would not seek a fifth term prompted the large group of hopefuls to get into the race.

Attorney and former Miss America Erika Harold won the Republican nomination, soundly defeating former Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso. Harold scored contributions from Rauner and backing from the Illinois Republican Party.

LEGISLATURE: A conservative political action committee that once backed

Rauner is now supporting challengers to GOP House members who helped Democrats approve an income tax hike to end a state budget stalemate last year.

The group also is funding a challenge to House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, who did not vote for the tax increase but has attracted conservative anger for his failure to hold his caucus together and stop it.

Chicago Democratic state Sen. Ira Silverstein was ousted after a 20-year career.

A victims-rights advocate accused Silverstein of sexual harassment for sending inappropriate messages while they worked on legislation. The legislative inspector general declared there was no sexual harassment but that Silverstein had acted unprofessionally. He lost handily to Ram Villivalam, a union activist.

Longtime Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, a near-constant GOP target, is also an issue in several Democratic primaries. In the race for an open northwest Cook County seat, lawyer Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz has been criticized by her four opponents for taking money from Madigan campaign accounts and called on to return it.

Maryland teen girl dies in most recent school shooting GREAT MILLS, Md. (AP) — A teenager with a handgun shot and critically wounded a girl inside a Maryland school on Tuesday and the shooter was killed when a school resource officer confronted him moments after the gunfire erupted.

It wasn't immediately clear whether the shooter took his own life or was killed by the officer's bullet, St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said, but the officer was credited with preventing any more loss of life.

Authorities didn't release a motive, but said they believe the girl and the shooter — 17-year-old Austin Rollins — previously had a relationship.

A 14-year-old boy also suffered a gunshot wound, but it wasn't clear who shot him. He was in good condition.

The officer, who doubles as a SWAT team member, was unharmed.

The shooting at Great Mills High

School rocked a nation still reeling from the Feb. 14 massacre of 17 people at a Florida high school by a teenage boy with an assault weapon. Students across the country have planned an anti-gun violence march this weekend at the nation's capital.

Politicians responded swiftly to the Maryland shooting, acknowledging that it increased the pressure for action.

"We sympathize. We empathize. We have moments of silence. But we don't have action," said the No. 2 U.S. House Democrat, Steny Hoyer, who represents the area in Congress. "Wringing our hands is not enough."

In this case, it appeared the shooter illegally possessed the gun. In Maryland, a person must be 21 to possess a handgun, unless carrying one is required for employment. It's not clear how Rollins obtained the weapon.

Attempts to reach his family were

unsuccessful.

The sheriff praised the school resource officer, Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill, a six-year veteran in his first year at the high school, for containing the situation in less than a minute.

"He had to cover significant ground," Cameron said. "The premise is simple: You go to the sound of gunfire."

Students endured a lengthy lockdown, cowering inside classrooms and a locker room while officers worked to make sure there were no more threats on campus.

Eventually, the students were escorted outside and taken to another school to be reunited with their parents.

The school has about 1,600 students and is near the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, about 65 miles (104 kilometers) southeast of Washington.

Dismissed student sues university URBANA, Ill. (AP) — A former University of Illinois student accused of sexual assault has filed a lawsuit alleging the school violated his constitution rights to due process.

The News-Gazette reports that the unidentified former student is accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student while she was intoxicated and unable to consent on Dec. 4, 2016. He was dismissed from the university for 2.5 years in April 2017 after a review.

The lawsuit alleges the accused student wasn't given a proper hearing. It seeks a new hearing and for the dismissal to be reversed.

University spokeswoman Robin Kaler says she cannot comment on specific cases, but says that accused students have "multiple opportunities" to tell their side.

The accused student's attorney says his client currently lives in California and attends a community college.

Self-driving cars may be put on hold DETROIT (AP) — The deadly collision between an Uber autonomous vehicle and a pedestrian near Phoenix is bringing calls for tougher self-driving regulations, but advocates for a hands-off approach say big changes aren't needed.

Police in Tempe, Arizona, say the female pedestrian walked in front of the Uber SUV in the dark of night, and neither the automated system nor the human backup driver stopped in time.

Local authorities have not determined fault.

Current federal regulations have few requirements specifically for self-driving vehicles, leaving it for states to handle. Many, such as Arizona, Nevada and Michigan, cede key decisions to companies as they compete for investment that will come with the technology.

No matter whether police find Uber or the pedestrian at fault in the Sunday crash, many federal and state officials say their regulations are sufficient to keep people safe while allowing the potentially life-saving technology to grow. Others, however, argue the regulations do not go far enough.

3 Interviews for director to take place this week WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2018

By Brooke Schwartz Administration Reporter | @brookesch_wartz Finalists for the director of the Office of Civil Rights and Diversity will be interviewed this week.

Up for the position are Shawn Peoples, an Eastern alumna who is the current interim director of the Office of Civil Rights and Diversity, and Brett Haduch, who is set to graduate this spring with a doctorate from the University of North Texas

in higher education administration.

Ryan Hendrickson, the dean of the graduate school and the chair of the search committee, said they were looking for applicants with at least five years of professional experience and experience with diversity and the promotion of it.

The search committee narrowed down to Peoples and Haduch from a list of approximately 20 applicants from their resumes, cover letters, references and the criteria Hendrickson

described.

Peoples’ open interview session will take place from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, and Haduch’s will take place from 9 to 10 a.m. Thursday.

All interviews will take place in the 1895 Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, except the interview with Eastern President David Glassman, which will take place in his office.

Peoples earned a doctorate in phi-

losophy in 2011 from Saint Louis University and has had 25 years of professional experience.

Haduch has worked in schools around Illinois and Texas since 2007 as a counselor and a campus coordinator.

Hendrickson said he does not have an exact date as to when a candidate will be chosen, but the search committee is charged with only making a recommendation to the other deciding people, such as the presi-

dent.

English professor and search committee member Suzie Park said the committee was looking for someone who could bring energy to the position.

“We need somebody who is passionate about equity, diversity and fostering an inclusive learning environment (and) culture,” Park said.

Faculty Senate talks unity of faculty, administration

By Brooke Schwartz Administration Reporter | @brookesch_wartz The next steps being taken following the Workgroup Review Committee’s final recommendations were discussed at the Faculty Senate’s meeting Tuesday.

Provost Jay Gatrell said for the past week, he has been taking shareholders around and gotten feedback on a possible college reorganization plan that will be released soon.

Gatrell said he is collecting feedback from all facets of campus, especially the faculty.

“I believe faculty innovate best when they have an opportunity to discuss and explore things that work for them,” Gatrell said. “I think the best laid plans from administrators sometimes are great, but we have to have something that resonates with our identity and our structures.”

Biological sciences professor Billy Hung said the vitalization project was, for the most part, more successful than how some schools have dealt with the nationwide cutbacks to higher education.

“What we are experiencing at EIU from the last two years is the result of a budget crisis that is not necessarily unique to us nor unique to Illinois,” Hung said.

He said some universities are going through the same problems as Eastern without a budget crisis, partially because of their strained relationship with the administration. “(Eastern has) a functional relationship with our admin,” Hung said. “We are pulling together as a team despite our differences and contradictions, and we are working together to make our institution stronger and better for the future years.”

What if?

STAFF EDITORIAL

Enjoy college, youth before time runs out It is hard to believe that we are already at this point in the semester again. We only have roughly six weeks left.

We at The Daily Eastern News are not the hugest fans of clichés, but we are also human.

And because we are human, and we know that you are too, we catch others as well as ourselves saying another school year “goes by in the blink of an eye” and it will “be gone before we know it.”

While we cannot control time, we can control how we take advantage of it.

To continue down the path of clichés, we are told these are the “best days of our life.” Unfortunately, these days are numbered.

Before we know it, we will be telling the next round of college students about our “good ol’ days.”

For some of us, these last six weeks signal the end of our first year.

For others, we find ourselves comfortably in the middle, with some experience under our belts and a year or two left to learn some more.

And then, of course, there are those who will be counting down to graduation rather than scrambling to make an appointment with our advisers.

No matter what position you find yourself in, these six weeks are all equally important. Academically, it is obvious: finals will be here be-

fore we know it.

But in terms of youth, these are six weeks we have to make memories and preserve the “best days of our life” in our minds forever.

College is one of the only times we are free to choose what we want to do. What do you want to study? How many clubs do you want to join? Do you want to order pizza for the third night in a row? These are only a few of the many questions we encounter every day, and the decision is all up to us.

Do not waste these six weeks (or six weeks plus the amount of time you still have ticking here) by forgetting college is a time for ourselves.

It is a place to learn, but it is also a place for us to discover who we are, find who we want to surround ourselves with and figure out where we want to be one day.

Stress is unavoidable at some points in our college careers, but we cannot afford to forget to take time to enjoy ourselves and live each day to its fullest potential.

Before we know it, we will be adults begging time to rewind and wishing to be back where we are now.

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

JALEN MASSIE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Step up and be a part of the solution for Syria There’s this joke in the satire newspaper The Onion about how the son of a soldier gets a parade because he inherits his father’s old patrol route in Afghanistan, the joke being that we’ve been at war for eighteen years.

I don’t like it, but then again, we created the mess.

For many, many reasons, we just can’t seem to finish what we started, and we sure as hell aren’t granting any of the Iraqis or Afghans visas to come here.

The collapse of Iraq and Afghanistan are a conflict we started, no matter how badly we want to pass it off to the people who live there, but there is another generation-spanning war going on: the civil war in Syria. I say “civil war,” but is it a civil war if civilians are the ones dying the most?

And they have been dying, going on seven years now. It’s not that the American people don’t care, it’s that they feel helpless.

“What can we do?” they post, watching as heartbreaking photos periodically pop up on their newsfeeds. But like Iraq and Afghanistan, we have a hand in it. The U.S. has boots on the ground in Syria. Did you know we had boots on the ground in Syria? We also have multiple allies, agendas and hopefully some kind of strategy.

The Russians have boots on the ground, too, and an agenda. Theirs isn’t exactly the same as ours. In

Colin Roberts fact, you could say it’s completely opposite ours.

I should take a moment to note that when I say “our agenda,” I don’t mean the White House’s agenda. I mean the US military’s agenda, to whom we can only assume the current POTUS has given free reign to do whatever they want. As for the POTUS’s personal strategy for Syria and our troops stationed there, I’m keeping an eye on Twitter.

Saudi Arabia also has a vested interest in the Syrian conflict, as does Iran. Syria has become the staging ground for all the regional powers to play out their

feuds via proxy wars. “Wars,” again, is a funny word, considering who’s paying the price.

So you can see we have a problem. Well, we don’t have a problem. The many, many Syrian civilians left in Syria have a problem. All these world powers have their fingers in their country, and former Syrian president Assad has made it pretty clear he’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim his old territory, including dumping illegal chemical weapons from planes.

So what can we do? Our power, as cliché as it sounds, is political.

I’m going to be honest with you. We can’t end the “war” right now. Turkey just threatened to invade northern Syria because of this whole thing with the Kurds, who are very, very important allies to the United States but whom the current president of Turkey wants to ethnically cleanse from the face of the Earth. Russia, Assad, the Free Syrian Army (who aren’t really the FSA anymore), Iran and Saudi Arabia are still pumping money and troops and weapons into their own micro-wars within Syria.

It’s clear we lost countless Syrian lives to idiotic war games, and American leadership had a hand in it. The best we can do now is help the many who remain. But what does that mean?

I know immigration is a touchy subject, but I’m asking us as a nation to step up. We can claim plausi-

ble deniability in a lot of what our military does, but only to an extent that they keep those actions classified. We know we’re propping up sides in Syria. We know we have American troops there advising Kurdish fighters. So we’ve already decided America is a part of the problem. Now, let’s be a solution.

Asylum visas for Syrian refugees is a noble action of the country I know America can be. This is their hour of need. It has been for the last seven years. One day, as inconceivable as this may be, America may have an hour of need, a time when our own country is too dangerous or inhospitable to live in. We need to set the example of what it means to help those who cannot help themselves. Especially when we’re participating in the war that created the situation in the first place.

Vote for candidates who take responsibility for the problems America’s foreign policy has created. That would be a good indicator of the candidates’ characters, and it would go a long way in fixing the problems we’re exacerbating. We owe it to the Syrians to take them in, but more importantly, it’s the right thing to do. And that’s a principle that could put an end to these never-ending conflicts.

Spice up Sundays with new experiences, adventures I have this goal in life. I want to travel the world, see everything I can and eat every kind of food there is.

That won’t happen, obviously, because there are millions and millions of places on Earth and thousands of kinds of food.I have been out of the country about 15 times and have traveled to several places, but there is so much more I want to see and do and eat.

Since I have a job and classes to attend, I have begun my food and sightseeing journey on a much smaller scale. I have been traveling around central Illinois with my boyfriend trying new cuisine and seeing local architecture and sites.

We made this kind of a Sunday tradition, since we both hate Sundays and decided to make them a little

Kennedy Nolen better, rather than sulking at home or sleeping away the day.

The first stop was Lerna, where we visited the

world’s fastest pop machine. As a native to central Illinois, I always wondered why I had never gone  so we went.The thing was fast.

We also ate at Taco Amigos in Mattoon, because I love Mexican food and it was a place we both needed to try.Verdict: new favorite Mexican restaurant.

We then traveled a little east in the world to India.

Okay, well, we went to Decatur and ate Indian food at India’s Kitchen.

It is a newer place, and it needed to be sampled by our lovely selves. I highly recommend this place. We split a 22-ounce beer, so we blacked out, obviously. I got paneer tikka masala, and he got butter chicken.

Sides we got included naan bread and samosas.

I overate and felt like an obese whale afterward, but all in all it was an excellent experience. Ten out of

ten would recommend.

Another site we crossed off our list was the Edward P. Irving house, also in Decatur. This architectural beauty was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and two other houses on the street were designed by people at his firm. Ever since I took Art Appreciation my freshman year with Dr. Stephen Eskilson, I fell in love with architecture and the various types. This house designed by the legendary Wright, was a must-see.

Those are just some adventures we have been on to spice up our Sundays. I know many more are in store.

Hopefully this summer, we can branch out of the 217 and eat more fantastic feasts and see funky spots.

Speaker discusses ‘Chile’s Woodstock’

By Kaitlyn Ebert Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Patrick Barr-Melej, a history professor at Ohio University, spoke about sex, drugs and rock n’ roll Tuesday night in the Lumpkin Lecture Hall. His book “Psychedelic Chile: Youth, Counterculture, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship” is about “Chile’s Woodstock,” the landmark Piedra Roja music festival from 1970.

“My book, at its heart, is about people … I wanted to write a book that treats counterculture and the hippies seriously, instead of them being at the butt of jokes,” BarrMelej said.

Barr-Melej said Chile’s political constituencies fanned the flames of moral panic against the hippies, but all they wanted to do was live their lives differently.

Barr-Melej’s stor y surrounds Jorge Gomez, a 19-year-old Chilean student who was inspired by screenings of the Woodstock film. Gomez decided to put on a free music festival, Piedra Roja, in the hills outside of Eastern Santiago. Gomez wanted to encourage the hippie counterculture movement known as hipismo, and unite both the rich and the poor through their shared love of music.

Nearly 5,000 young people attended the festival; most of whom had long hair, wore bell-bottom pants, smoked marijuana and even had sex in public.

The festival took place between Oct. 10 and 12, 1970, which was a month before the presidential election of Salvador Allende.

Allende was the first known Marxist to become president of a Latin American country through open elections.

Barr-Melej said social tensions were rising as the conservative right and liberal left were at political

Professor Patrick Barr-Melej (center), talks with C.C Wharram (left) the director of humanities center and President David Glassman (right) before he gives a lecture on his book “Psychedelic Chile” Tuesday night in Lumpkin Hall.

“I wanted to write a book that treats counterculture and the hippies seriously, instead of them being at the butt of jokes.”

-Patrick Barr-Melej, author of “Psychadelic Chile: Youth, Counterculture, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship” odds in the nation, and both were against the hipismo movement.

“During this era of the Cold War, the youth were forced to follow a grand narrative of either a socialist utopia or some capitalist success story for the developing worlds, but some young people decided that those grand narratives did not fit their lifestyles,” Berr-Melej said.

The hipismos quickly became attacked from both the right and the left; they were either labeled as hellish degenerates by traditional conservatives, or labeled as lazy bourgeois by the left. They ultimately became outcasts in their society, and were easily identified by their long, flowing hair.

Although many hipismos were

persecuted and even killed for their lifestyles, their counterculture movement eventually became transnational. The “Woodstock Generation” was not confined to just Western nations anymore; it rippled across Latin America.

“It is an important fragment of Latin American studies and American politics through the involve-

ment in the Chilean coup,” said Juan Nevarez, a graduate student in political science who helped sponsor the talk. “Counterculture and youth culture are important areas of historical and political aspects.”

Students who are interested in learning more about “Chile’s Woodstock” can attend a showing of retired biological sciences professor, Gary Fritz’s, film Piedra Roja at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Doudna Fine Art Center’s Lecture Hall. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles.

7 Eastern handles Cougars 6-1 in tennis WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2018

By Dillan Schorfheide Women’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports With a 6-1 victory over Southern Illinois Edwardsville Tuesday, Eastern’s women’s tennis team won its second straight OVC match to start conference play 2-0 this spring.

Last year, Southern Illinois Edwardsville (0-13, 0-2) defeated Eastern (8-9, 2-0) by the same 6-1 score en route to the Cougars’ conference championship. That conference championship is something junior Abby Carpenter said made Eastern excited to play the Cougars Tuesday.

“Always in past years, SIUE has been one of our biggest competitions in the conference, so it was awesome for us to be able to beat them so soundly,” she said. “Overall, knowing that we didn’t have to play our best while still getting great results is always a good feeling for the team.”

After starting the season with a 2-5 record, Tuesday’s win helped the Panthers go 4-4 in their last eight matches and get a jump start in the conference standings.

Carpenter picked up one of Eastern’s points with a singles victory over Southern Illinois Edwardsville’s Anna Talley in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1.

“I just had to play solid tennis to get the singles win,” she said. “I used it as an opportunity to work on different aspects of my game.”

Unlike Eastern’s 4-3 win over Jacksonville State Friday, Tuesday’s match did not come down to the finish of the last singles match to determine the win-

ner.

Eastern started with a lead right away after winning the doubles point. Freshman Claire Martin and sophomore Shelby Anderson won their doubles match by default because the Cougars did not have a second player to match up against them, so Eastern needed just one other duo to win for the point.

But both pairs won their respective matches.

Sophomore Stella Cliffe and senior Grace Summers won 6-3, as did Eastern’s third duo of sophomore Emily Pugachevsky and freshman Karla Contreras.

Summers lost her singles match to Raillane Kamdem in straight sets, 6-1, 7-6, giving the Cougars its only point of the match. Summers drops to 4-4 this season in the No. 2 spot for singles matches.

For the rest of Eastern’s singles players, there was not much of a worry about winning their matches. The only other singles match that was close was Pugachevsky’s singles match.

After winning her first set 6-2, Southern Illinois Edwardsville’s Ann-Christine Link came back to win the second set 7-5. Pugachevsky would finish her victory with a 1-0 (4-0) win in the third set.

Eastern now awaits its next match on Friday against Eastern Kentucky. Carpenter said the match will be important for Eastern.

“Looking forward, having that 2-0 OVC record just gives us even more confidence for us to move into our upcoming match on Friday,” she said.

BASEBALL | COLUMN

Baseball team still searching for complete game After a weekend series loss to Jacksonville State, Eastern head coach Jason Anderson wanted one specific thing to come from this week’s single-game matchups: offense.

The Panthers gave their coach just that against Indiana State Tuesday, despite a start that seemed like Eastern was going to continue its offensive drought, mustering just one hit until the fourth inning.

That fourth inning washed away plenty of frustration offensively from recent games as home runs from Senior Matt Albert and redshirt junior Josh Turnock erased an eightrun Eastern deficit while bringing the score to 8-6.

Yes, the Panthers found their offensive stride, but there were holes in other places.

Eastern’s pitching has been a strong suit of the team’s success this season as the depth of the staff has allowed several guys to come in

Maher Kawash and produce outs when needed.

That was hardly the case against the Sycamores.

It was the struggle to find a quality start that hurt Eastern in this one as senior Dustin Wilson lasted just 1.2 innings on the mound while yielding four runs.

Then to make matters worse, junior Carson Haws just could not hit his spots as he allowed two runs and one walk.

Redshirt senior senior Jake Haberer gave his best efforts to salvage the game in the middle innings, but a few hard-hit balls down the first base line stunted that as he was pulled after allowing two runs in the sixth en route to earning the loss on the day with four runs allowed in 2.1 innings pitched.

The biggest takeaway from single-game matchups like this one is the spurts of potential this team flashes.

Whether it’s the 9-5 win last weekend against Jacksonville State, or the fourth inning of flashy offense against Indiana State, the Panthers have a chance to do some damage.

While it ends in a 10-8 loss for Eastern,

this is the type of game that needs to be won considering how tough the Panthers’ schedule can get.

Eastern’s ability to bring it within two in the late innings was almost enough, but the hole that was dug earlier in the game proved to be too much.

Clearly a team is not always going to get a complete game where everything goes right, but there are certain times where it is really needed; such as this opportunity to gain some momentum on Eastern’s home turf.

Eastern has now dropped three of its four home games to start the season with just one more non-conference games left this week before hitting the road over the weekend to dip back into Ohio Valley Conference action.

Walks take down Eastern baseball team

By Kaitlin Cordes Baseball Reporter | @DEN_Sports Trouble at the mound for the Eastern baseball team gave Indiana State the opportunity to snatch the midweek game from the Panthers after the Sycamores handed them a 10-8 loss Tuesday.

Coach Jason Anderson said his pitching staff walked one too many batters in Indiana State’s lineup, an issue stemming from extended use of his bullpen in last weekend’s three-game series against Jacksonville State.

“You get a little short on the weekend, (and) you’ve got to look for a use for guys in different ways, and that really hurt us today,” Anderson said of Eastern’s pitching struggles.

Eastern walked seven Sycamores throughout the game and did so backto-back at the top of the fourth inning. The Panther pitchers did manage to strike out nine batters, with senior pitcher Michael Starcevich collecting three of those strikeouts.

Indiana State used just as many pitchers as Eastern as each team brought out five arms to battle at the mound.

The Sycamore’s ace, Tyler Whitbread, claimed the win while the loss was assigned to senior pitcher Jake Haberer.

Whitbread put up some decent numbers in the Sycamore’s 17th outing this season. He raked in six strikeouts, and Whitbread advanced to 1-1 on the year.

One of the biggest struggles Anderson said his team faced against the Sycamore pitching rotation was pitches near the strike zone.

“We’ve really been struggling to hit the fastball, and we did it again today,” Anderson said.

The Sycamore’s dished out 16 Panther strikeouts, with many of them coming off a fastball.

The Panthers remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning, when senior first baseman Matt Albert knocked off a three-run homer, chasing

junior outfielder Tyler Tesmond and senior third baseman Dougie Parks across home plate.

That was Albert’s third home run of the year.

The Panthers inched closer to a lead as the bats came alive in the second half of the fourth inning. Parks batted in junior second baseman Jimmy Huber to put the Panthers’ sixth run on the board.

A potential lead began to slip away from Eastern when Indiana State’s Max Wright batted in two runners at the top of the sixth inning to push the Sycamores’ lead to 10-6. Eastern scored runs just one more time to finish out the seventh inning.

Turnock reached on a throwing error

by Indiana State short stop Clay Dungan. Sophomore catcher Ryan Knernschield and senior left fielder Logan

Beaman both scored on unearned runs to give the Panthers their final tallies of the afternoon.

Anderson said his veteran team has the potential to make something of this season. There are a few tweaks Anderson said he would like to see in the team’s Wednesday outing against Robert Morris-Springfield.

“They’re experienced, and they’re talented, but they don’t play aggressive.

We just have got to play aggressive and just go after wins and not just play to the level of the competition and what they’re doing that day because we’ve done that a lot this year,” Anderson said.

Eastern dropped to 8-11 on the year.

The win advances Indiana State to 13-5 for the season.

Quarterback battle to be key during Spring Football

By JJ Bullock Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports Playing time at every position on the Eastern football team, quarterback through line, will be up for grabs and battled for according to head coach Kim Dameron during Spring Football, which began Tuesday for the Panthers.

The battle at quarterback is shaping up to be one of the more closely watched races as Eastern has four quarterbacks in camp, including two transfers, all competing for the starting job next fall.

The group of quarterbacks, which includes returners Scotty Gilkey and Jaylon Banks and welcomes Tulane transfer Johnathan Brantley and Navarro Junior College transfer Harry Woodbery, were all receiving equal amounts of reps on the first day of practice.

As far as what Dameron is looking for from the group early on, the ideals are fairly simple.

“Guys who run the offense and know what their doing,” Dameron said.

“But, guys who take care of the ball, move the team and score points. But, right now I am looking for them to get better every day. This was day one.

I thought it was a good starting point.

We’ll see how much better we can get.”

The even number of snaps for all four quarterbacks is all a part of a plan of Dameron’s to not have any “preconceived ideas about who is going to be where or what.”

Gilkey, who started in five games for

SEAN HASTINGS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Jacob Ivey Jr., who will be a redshirt sophomore in the fall, catches a pass in the Panthers’ first spring practice of 2018. Coach Kim Dameron said the first practice was a good starting point that the Panthers can build off of throughout the rest of spring and into the season.

Eastern last year, took reps first for the Panthers because he is the quarterback from last year, Dameron said.

“Those other (quarterbacks) have to show they are better than him first. So as that goes, we will see,” Dameron said.

“All four of them are getting reps, you saw today, they probably got the same reps for all four quarterbacks. That to

me is great because know we’re developing all of them.”

Brantley and Woodbery are both stepping in to new programs, but the transition for Woodbery learning the offense could be easier as he played with Eastern’s new offensive coordinator Scott Parr at Navarro Junior College.

“Brantley has to pick it up mental-

ly and quickly and all that stuff. But, I just want both of them (Brantley and Woodbery) to come in and compete their hind end off and same thing with Scotty and Jaylon and just kind of see where it goes,” Dameron said.

The Panthers’ new offensive coordinator Scott Parr will be transitioning into an air raid style offense, which

means many players will be adapting to a new style of play and practices that are more up tempo.

The players adjusting to the changes is something Dameron says will take all spring.

“It won’t be as good at the end of the spring as we want it to be, but it’s going to be better than today,” Dameron said. “They’ve got to take it upon themselves in the summer to do their work and then fall camp and all that.”

“We’ve got time, and I thought today was a good start. I was encouraged.

I liked the practice schedule. I like the things that Coach Parr has and the way we’re practicing. Everything we do is high tempo and is about throwing and catching, so we can’t help but get better,” Dameron added.

Entering camp, the quarterbacks and receivers have been having optional throwing sessions with one another, according to receiver Aaron Gooch.

“It’s just about chemistry and getting chemistry with the new quarterbacks, them getting adjusted to us and our speed, different things like that,” Gooch said. “It’s all going to take time. It’s only day one, but I feel like once everything gets up and going, it’s going to be pretty good.”

Receiver is one of the positions Dameron specifically mentioned as having a good battle for playing time playing out in.
