Booth Library offering guided tours

By Corryn Brock Staff Reporter | @corryn_brock Students can see what resources are available in Booth Library from guided tours that are being offered until Sept. 13.

Students, faculty and staff can begin tours by stopping by the Reference Ser vices/ Research Help desk located on the north end of the building. The scheduled tour times are 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

If the tour times offered do not fit into a person’s schedule they can also call the Reference Services/ Research Help desk and set up a tour time that works for them.

Those who choose to take the tours will be given information on the library itself as well as the resources inside.

Beth Heldebrandt, Booth Library public relations director, believes it is important for students to come to a scheduled tour time or set their own up for a different time.

“It’s a really large building. It can be kind of overwhelming if you haven’t been in (the library) before,” says Heldebrandt. “It’s huge. We have a million books on the shelves, and it’s hard to know where you are.”

Students of all ages are invited to attend tours. Heldebrandt encouraged upperclassmen who are not fa-

miliar with the library to come in and tour before they need to use the facilities for research.

“You know you’re going to have to (be in the library) if you have research papers and things like that coming up,” said Heldebrandt.

The area where students can check in for a tour, the Reference Services/ Research Help desk, is available for students to find useful sources and what all Booth has to offer on topics they are researching.

Students with an education major may benefit from the Ballinger Teacher Center. According to Andrew Cougill, reference librarian, facilities like the BTC are an uncommon source for academic libraries. The facility offers a collection of books for younger readers and curriculum materials and guides. The BTC is located on the 3000 level of the library.

The library offers white boards for study groups and tables outside of the study rooms so that, according to Cougill, groups wouldn’t have to use a study room to meet.

Students can use the white boards located outside of the study rooms as available.

Cougill calls the books the heart of the library. However, the library isn’t just open for studying and research; it is also open to students who need a quiet place to relax. Heldebrandt’s favorite area in Booth is the atrium. The atrium is

ITS: Delete suspicious emails Staff Report | @DEN_News Eastern’s Information and Technology Services said a phishing attempt affected various individuals on campus over the weekend.

The spam emails were sent from user names that students recognized, though those individuals had no knowledge of the emails being sent.

In the spam email the message stated that it was unable to display the full message and had a large green box which indicated you were to click the box to show the full message.

After clicking on the box, the email asked for personal information.

In an email sent to the entire campus, ITS instructed to students to delete the message from their inbox and browse to https://password.eiu.edu and reset their password to make sure their panthermail account was secure.

Students will need their netID and current password to log into the site to change the password.

In the future, ITS said if students come across an email that looks suspicious they need to check to see if it an official message sent out

by Eastern by going to https://www.eiu.edu/ panthertech/email_verification.php.

“It’s kind of a read and relax area,” said Heldebrandt. “It’s quiet and you can curl up with a book.”

Cougill suggests using the library as a place to hang out and relax.

“If you’re in (your) dorm and things are just a little bit too hec-

tic … grab your laptop, come over to the library and … kind of relax,” Cougill said.

Academy of Lifelong Learning holding low-cost/free classes

By Brooke Schwartz News Editor | @DEN_News The Academy of Lifelong Learning is a department in the School of Extended Learning which hosts different non-credit classes throughout the school year and summer.

The classes, according to the academy’s website, are either free or of low cost and are open to any adult who is interested.

According to the academy’s 2018 fall program guide, its purpose is to “promote the voluntary pursuit of knowledge to enhance our capacity to navigate the changing world.”

Marita Metzke, the director of the academy, said the idea for the academy originated in 2007, and the first classes were held that following fall. “(The academy has) seen trem e n d o u s g r o w t h s i n c e t h e n ,” Metzke said, with their highest registration number on record being 641 adults.

Debbie Meadows, the registration coordinator for the School of Extended Learning, said she loves how the academy allows for continued educational growth, espe-

"(The academy) enables (Charleston’s) adult community a place to get together and not only do they socialize, but they get to learn fun things."

-Debbie Meadows, registration coordinator for the School of Extended Learning cially for older community members. “(The academy) enables (Charleston’s) adult community a place to get together and not only do they socialize, but they get to learn fun things,” Meadows said.

The current program the academy is putting on includes three informational sessions entitled ‘The Mafia and the Oval Office,’ all of which are led and directed by former Eastern professor Roger Whitlow.

Other types of programs happening this year include a class on memoir writing, a walking tour of Charleston, a class on meditation, a class on drones and many more.

The program guide can be found on the Academy’s website, https:// www.eiu.edu/adulted/all.php.

Meadows said she enjoys the different classes the Academy has.

“We offer a huge variety of class-

es, from arts and crafts to history to writing,” Meadows said. “We’re always open to new ideas and new programs and always looking for people to present.”

Anyone with program ideas can reach out to Metzke at mjmetzke@ eiu.edu.

The academy, which used to be limited to community members 50 years and older, is now open to adults of any ages, Meadows said.

“They decided that the intergenerational (members) both learn from each other,” Meadows said.

Metzke said everyone should feel free to try a program sometime this year.

“Try a class of something that’s interesting to you or that you’ve always wondered about and join the fun,” Metzke said.

URBANA, Ill. (AP) — The University of Illinois announced Monday that it will be offering eight semesters of free tuition and fees to qualified in-state students whose family income is below $61,000 annually.

Called Illinois Commitment, it is part of an effort to keep talented students of modest means from seeking their college education outside the state. The offer is worth at least $15,000, depending on the student’s major.

University officials said the program, which will initially cost $4 million, will be funded through a combination of institutional, federal and state aid, including Pell Grants and Monetary Award Program grants.

“We want to move to a paradigm where people are no longer debating about whether they can afford to apply to Illinois, to one where they have resolved they can’t afford not to apply and enroll at this university,” said Chancellor Robert Jones.

A search of the university’s website indicates the total cost of attending is $31,000 to $36,000 annually, including books, fees, room and board and other expenses. Officials said there is financial aid available, but potential students can only learn how much is available by going through a process that can take weeks or months.

“This is designed to simplify that concept: If my family income is less

than $61,000, I know that tuition and fees are covered,” said vice provost Kevin Pitts. “That concept, we think, is something that will really help students who may have been hesitant to even submit an application, let alone choose to attend.”

The university’s action comes in the wake of legislation signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner aimed at persuading in-state students to choose Illinois colleges. One measure sets aside $25 million for public universities to match and create a pool of merit-based scholarships, not based on financial need.

Education officials have long warned Illinois universities were suffering from lagging enrollment,

crumbling infrastructure, exorbitant tuition and funding woes.

“We’ve been making this case as strongly as we could for quite a while, and we’re very happy to see the state legislators and the governor and the Higher Education Working Group start to focus on this issue,” said Tim Killeen, president of University of Illinois. “It’s not just for U. of I. but for the whole state.”

Data from 2016-17 shows about 45 percent of University of Illinois students take out loans, and the average debt upon graduation is $24,667.

Officials said students whose family incomes are just above the $61,000 cutoff will continue to be eligible for considerable aid.

US and Mexico tentatively set to replace NAFTA with new deal

restart talks.

“We will only sign a new NAFTA that is good for Canada and good for the middle class,” said Adam Austen, a spokesman for Freeland, adding that “Canada’s signature is required.”

“There is still a great deal of uncertainty —.. trepidation, nervousness — a feeling that we are on the outside looking in,” said Peter MacKay, a former Canadian minister of justice, defense and foreign affairs who is now a partner at the law firm Baker McKenzie.

Critics denounced the prospect of cutting Canada out a North American trade pact, in part because of the risks it could pose for companies involved in international trade. Many manufacturers have built complex but vital supply chains that cross all three NAFTA borders.

statement Monday identifies the child by her first name, Mariee, and says she was 21 months old when she died in May. A Vice News story also released Monday said Mariee arrived with her mother, Yazmin Juarez, at the detention center in Dilley, Texas, in March, and died about six weeks after her release.

According to Vice News, Mariee began to develop a cough and had a fever that reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). The baby’s health improved, but then worsened until she and her mother were released.

The law firm released a timeline that says Juarez sought medical treatment for Mariee six days after they entered Dilley because the baby had congestion and a cough. Ten days after they arrived, Mariee had lost two pounds (almost 1 kilogram), nearly 8 percent of her body weight.

Mariee was still coughing and vomiting clear liquid two days before she and her mother were released, the law firm said.

They were released March 25, and took a flight to New Jersey, where Juarez’s mother lives. The next day, they went to an emergency room, the law firm said. The baby was hospitalized over the next several weeks and eventually transferred to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

On May 10, Mariee suffered a hemorrhage that led to irreversible brain and organ damage.

Plans on making untraceable 3D guns can’t be posted online

WASHINGTON (AP) — Snubbing Canada, the Trump administration reached a preliminary deal Monday with Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement — a move that raised legal questions and threatened to disrupt the operations of companies that do business across the three-country trade bloc.

President Donald Trump suggested that he might leave Canada, America’s No. 2 trading partner, out of a new agreement. He said he wanted to call the revamped trade pact “the United States-Mexico Trade Agreement” because, in his view, NAFTA had earned a reputation as being harmful to American workers.

But first, he said, he would give Canada a chance to get back in — “if they’d like to negotiate fairly.”

To intensify the pressure on Ottawa to agree to his terms, the president threatened to impose new taxes on Canadian auto imports.

Canada’s NAFTA negotiator, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, is cutting short a trip to Europe to fly to Washington on Tuesday to try to

Law firm criticizes ICE for toddler’s death after release HOUSTON (AP) — A law firm representing the family of a toddler reported to have died after being released from an immigration detention facility issued new information Monday about what it called a “needless and devastating loss.”

Washington-based Arnold & Porter’s

A U.S. judge in Seattle blocked the Trump administration Monday from allowing a Texas company to post online plans for making untraceable 3D guns, agreeing with 19 states and the District of Columbia that such access to the plastic guns would pose a security risk.

The states sued to stop an agreement that the government had reached with Austin, Texasbased Defense Distributed, saying guidelines on how to print undetectable plastic guns could be acquired by felons or terrorists.

U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik extended a temporary restraining order, and his new decision will last until the case is resolved.

He said Cody Wilson, owner of Defense Distributed, wanted to post the plans online so that citizens can arm themselves without having to deal with licenses, serial numbers and registrations.

Wilson has said that “governments should live in fear of their citizenry.”

UPD chief gives tips on campus policies

By Logan Raschke Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Eastern Illinois University Police Chief Kent Martin said when it comes to contacting the police when students need help, no time is a bad time.

Martin along with Makenzie Reynolds, a graduate student and student worker for the UPD, offered advice for students including what to do if an underage student is drinking and needs help.

The Good Samaritan Law protects underage drinkers from prosecution if they contact university police when there’s an emergency, Martin said.

“If you’re under 21 and have been drinking and call to get help for someone, you won’t get in trouble for underage drinking … if you stay on site and cooperate,” he said.

But Reynolds said a possible reason for student reluctance to contact 911 in case of emergencies is the fear of being a burden or students may fear that “the university won’t take (their emergencies) seriously.”

However, Martin said even if students are afraid of getting in trouble themselves, such as for underage drinking, they need to call for help.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “We’re available 24/7 … We’d much rather come out and deal with (an emergency) than have a situation deteriorate, get worse or expand because we weren’t

able to get to it in a timely manner.”

In case students ever find themselves in an emergency on campus and do not have access to their cell phones, there are emergency telephones scattered all throughout campus that anyone can use, Martin said.

He said that the emergency telephones all operate similarly to dialing “911” on your cell phone. “(The emergency telephones) have buttons, speakers, and lights. The lights flash and it automatically connects (the caller) to a 911 operator,” Martin said.

If the 911 operators cannot hear the caller on the emergency telephone, the university police are always dispatched to the site, Martin said.

Martin also said there are several rules and policies to keep in mind when it comes to crime, emergencies and parking tickets.

One crime the university police department encounters frequently is theft.

Theft makes up a large chunk of crime on campus, Martin said, but preventing it is easy.

“A majority of theft is theft of unsecured property,” he said. “(These cases are) crimes of opportunity. (Thieves) look for things quick and easy to steal.”

Martin said he suggests securing property and keeping dorms locked all the time to keep valuables safe from thieves.

Smoking, along with stealing, is prohibited anywhere on campus, includ-

ing E-cigarettes, said Martin. Additionally, he said that students are not allowed to have open containers of alcohol on campus.

Small amounts of alcohol are OK for students to have who are 21 and older living in dorms or other college residences.

But kegs and hard alcohol, like whiskey, gin and vodka, are prohibited on campus, he said.

Martin said alcohol consumption and sexual assault are often correlated. Keeping a close eye on friends who are consuming alcohol is important for students to prevent themselves from becoming victims of sexual assault, he said.

“At parties, protect your friends,” he said. “Know who’s pouring your drinks.”

Martin said another necessary thing for all students to understand is where they can and cannot park.

He said that the university police monitor all lots carefully, but the first ticket students get is usually voided. Otherwise, students have five days to pay the ticket before the price is doubled.

These rules and standards rarely change, he said.

Martin said if students abide by this general code, they are more than likely going to stay out of trouble with the campus police and enjoy their time at Eastern.

“If you wouldn’t do it at home, don’t do it here,” he said.

Treat yo self

STAFF EDITORIAL

Rise above partisanship The world lost a voice over the weekend, a voice of wisdom and reason that filled an important hole in the messy world of modern politics: John McCain.

Whatever your beliefs, it would be hard to disagree with the fact that we are becoming more and more divided as a nation and it is hard to find leaders who do not rejoice or increase this divide. Late senator John McCain did just that.

He was respectful and considerate of those with differing beliefs without compromising his own morals.

In his final letter, McCain wrote, “We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe.”

An advocate against the ever-growing partisan-fanatics, McCain lived by these ideals he left us with, and we owe it to him to take a second out of our busy lives and consider his words.

Do we contribute to the hold partisanship continues to have on people around the world?

When we hear a supporter of Donald Trump or of Hillary Clinton or any other politician today, do we immediately make unrightful judgements rather than contribute to a healthy debate over policies or ideas?

We need to start holding ourselves, and each other, accountable, especially now that there is one less person in the limelight reminding us to leave our bias at the door.

The best way to honor McCain and everything he stood for is to always be cognizant of how we treat other people, especially those who might have differing beliefs than ours.

The time to take political party affiliation over personal traits and goals and ideals is over: live on in McCain’s memory by focusing on what truly matters, Be proud of America and hopeful for what it could be, even if you think the world is a mess right now.

It is up to us to ensure America’s future; we are a little more on our own than we were last Friday.

Keep hope, be strong in your beliefs and do not be afraid to stand united.

As he wrote, “We weaken (our greatness) when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.”

John McCain. August 29, 1936- August 25, 2018.

RE WE'RE HAIR ING!

LOGAN R ASCHKE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Disagreeing can be an advantage My friends and acquaintances span over a very broad and vast set of beliefs.

Some of them like pineapple on pizza (those ones tend to stay acquaintances) and the others know that pineapples don’t belong on pizza because the only fruit that belongs on pizza is a tomato.

I love being able to have friends I can debate with and talk about things we don’t necessarily agree on because I think it really increases your knowledge on topics. By talking to people who don’t agree with every little thing you believe, you can get to understand a new viewpoint and see where others are coming from on a wide variety of topics.

You don’t have to change your mind on anything, but you can look through another person’s eyes and see life from a different perspective.

Various environments and life experiences can cause people to believe in some things very strongly or disagree very strongly, maybe they won’t even have an opinion on some topics that you couldn’t even imagine not having some sort of view on.

Someone disagreeing with you doesn’t

make them wrong, and it doesn’t make you right. It just means that different circumstances led the two of you down different paths.

I think it is CORRYN BROCK extremely important to keep that in mind when meeting new people.

When you narrow your friends down to just the ones who agree with you, you’re screwing yourself over. You don’t get the same balance that you would if you reached out and made connections with someone of the other side of things.

It can be hard at times, as most friendships are, but at the end of the day it’s a new friend who you can always bounce opinions off of and learn from. At the very least, you can see what other people are thinking and realize why you see things from the perspective you do.

Especially in college it can be so beneficial to make friends that don’t agree with you

because all throughout life you are going to have to deal with people who don’t agree with you.

Making friends who you can converse and debate with can help for later on in your career with a disagreeable boss or colleague. You’ll learn how to calmly address a situation and not fly off the handle, express views clearly and even just being able to understand that people don’t always agree with you can make a tremendous change in your conversational skills.

Don’t stay in your own bubble where everyone agrees with you. Venture off. Make those friends you can butt heads with on occasion.

Don’t blow your top, just listen. If you get frustrated just take a deep breath and wait until they’ve finished with their point to make yours.

Simple respect and etiquette can go a long way when talking with people. Wait your turn, don’t raise your voice and make your points without disrespecting them.

So, better yourself by not agreeing with your friends. It can really help in the long run.

Love yourself; be happy, not ashamed Growing up I have always been on the heavy side, even when I was born I was 9 pounds and 1 ounce, and I was even born early.

I’ve never been super confident in my body because I never looked the same as everyone else. I wasn’t the skinny, popular, athletic girl that everyone wanted to look like.

I was the girl who would stare at her in jealousy and go home and cry every night because I wasn’t like her. I wasn’t the most athletic kid, in fact I hated gym class. I would always get hit in the face by the ball when we played games.

I recently wore a shirt that I quite liked and a random person told me it made me look fat. Now, I normally don’t mind making jokes about my weight because I do like a good selfdeprecation joke every now and again with my friends, but getting called fat by a random person is hurtful.

I know people may think that it’s just a random person and you shouldn’t be offended, but well I am. No one wants anyone to

point out something that they are insecure about and have probably struggled with all their life to be said out loud for everyone to hear and laugh at.

K ATE REHWINKEL I get that being fat is not healthy for you, but people don’t normally choose to be fat. I’ve always been overweight, but when I turned 8 that is when it became a huge problem for me.

I was diagnosed with a mood disorder, and the psychiatrist put me on medication that made me gain 50 pounds within the first year of taking it. One of the side effects was having a bigger appetite, and it affected me very much.

I took that medicine for 10 years and have finally gotten to switch medications. Do I blame the medication entirely for my weight

loss? No, I own up to the fact that I should have had more control, but the medication also had a huge role in my life.

As girls, we get shamed for not having the perfect body type, which causes lots of problems for many girls. That’s why we have girls with eating disorders or girls who just eat their problems away.

I certainly have shoved my face full of food because I felt pressured to look a certain way, which made me depressed. As girls, we shouldn’t shame each other for what we look like because we have all had insecurities about our bodies, and you never know what kind of careless comment can cause us to feel that way.

I would rather be fat and happy any day than conform to society’s beliefs about female bodies. Ladies, eat that last piece of cake and don’t feel ashamed of what you look like, because I don’t anymore and neither should you.

RAs discuss 1st week with new residents

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 An area Heldebrandt has noticed is popular with students is the fourth floor.

She believes it is because of the computer labs and study rooms. Students who don’t have access to a computer are welcome to use the computers at Booth to research and print.

Heldebrandt hopes students sign up for tours. She said, “I hope they take advantage of (the tours) … it only takes fifteen to twenty minutes.”

Resident assistants throughout Eastern’s campus have just finished their first week on their floor with their new residents.

Natalie Fadden is a junior communications disorder major and a second-year resident assistant.

She said her first year on campus inspired her to get involved and become a resident assistant.

“My freshman year I had such a hard transition,” said Fadden. “Being away from home was super hard for me. Becoming an RA was like I got to help other people find their footing and find their home at EIU.” Fadden said she first got involved as a resident assistant by joining her building’s hall council, which she described as an inner student council for each resident hall.

“It was really cool to get involved,” she said. “It put me into housing.”

Devin Andersen, a junior communications studies major and first year resident assistant, was also in his hall council during his freshman year at Eastern, which he said inspired him to become a resident assistant.

“I really enjoyed getting people engaged and getting people to come together,” he said. “I thought if I could do that as a job, that would be pretty cool.”

As for the students who may not be involved in hall council, Fadden said that everyone can get involved by going to the general assembly meetings, and even though it is not a requirement, it is a good introduction to becoming a resident assistant.

Cynthia Moedano,senior psychology major and first-year resident assistant, said she was never able to participate in hall council.

“I never had time to be in hall council,” said, adding that while she was not necessarily in hall council, she pushed herself to be informed about, and understand, hall council.

“I (recently) changed my major to psychology, so I had to catch up,” Moedano said. “I’m still catching up, so one of the things I try to do is be aware of everything going on around campus.”

Moedanosaid she wanted to become a resident assistant because she felt like it would be a great opportunity for her to work with people, especially being a psychology major.

Fadden said, since this is her second year as a resident assistant, her training process this year was not as intense as it was the previous year, because she said she knew what to expect having gone through the training last year.

“It’s kind of like an RA boot camp,” she said of the training process, adding that she went through pre-

sentations on counseling and experienced thorough fire drills. “It is really extensive, but it gets you prepared.”

Moedano, however, said she was not sure what to expect during the training since it was her first year.

“Onething I wasn’t expecting was the amount of training we had to go through,” said Moedano. “I enjoyed it, I felt like it was well needed. I knew what was expected of me and how to handle situations.”

Although she had thorough training, Moedano said she had a few concerns regarding her residents.

“I think the worst part is not knowing if you’re doing enough (for your residents) or if there is going to be a situation that you haven’t been trained for,” she said, adding that her residents are real people, so she wants to take good care of them.

She also said that even though she has some concerns, she is happy she has her job as a resident assistant.

“It’s something that I know I needed because know I can be my best and do my best with these girls,” she said of her residents.

Fadden said one of the best parts of being a resident assistant is getting to work and interact with residents.

“When your residents get as invested with you as you are with them, it’s like you’re a proud mom,” Fadden said of her residents.

Jagoda Szostakiewicz, a junior mathematics for secondary education major, said she always tells her residents to come to her for anything they may need.

“I would love to help them,” she said. “Especially because I know what it’s like being stressed out.”

Andersen said he thinks things are going well so far, especially since this is his first year as a resident assistant.

“I’ve only been with these guys for a couple weeks now,” he said. “We are already coming up with inside jokes.”

Fadden said she thinks being a resident assistant is the best job on campus.

“I’m not going to lie,” she said. “It is a lot of work and there are definitely some weeks that are more challenging than others, but what you put into it is what you get out of it. Being an RA is literally the best job on campus.”

Ultimately, Moedano said she believes being a resident assistant is a fulfilling experience.

“I know my residents appreciate me already,” she said. “They come up to me and they say, ‘Thank you, Cynthia, for being here,’ and they write on my board that they love me.”

7 Offensive line hopes to be stable for Eastern TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2018

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | SPORTS

By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports With so many changes happening to the Eastern football team right now, four new quarterbacks, a new offensive coordinator and an entirely new offense, the team will need stability now more than ever, wherever they can get it.

The offensive line hopes to provide that consistency.

The line for the Panthers, contrary to the quarterback position, is returning a lot of familiar faces from last season. Players like Aaron Callaway, Josh Doyle and Grant Branch all provide senior leadership in that unit. On that same token, guys such as Cole Hoover, Luther Harris, Jose Sanchez and Ben Solomon, to name a few, give the offense line unit depth and reliability.

“We have got some older guys that have played quite a bit, and they’re coming right along and learning this new system, and it's some different things as far as the techniques that we are doing now as opposed to what we were doing,” head coach Kim Dameron said. “Anytime you go into a new system it's some new learning, but these older guys have done a good job of doing that.”

Callaway, who is likely to be the starter at right tackle for Eastern after playing right guard last year, said he is excited to be a part of this unit.

“We have got a lot of guys who are

ready to come in and contribute, we have got a lot of depth, and we have got a lot of guys who have played a lot of football here,” Callaway said. “Me and (Branch) have played a bunch and (Harris) played a little bit, and we have got some young guys like Johari (Branch) and maybe Eliki (Tanuvasa) who maybe can step in and play some good minutes for us.”

Versatility of all the offensive linemen has been very important to the Panthers as well in fall camp. Dameron highlight-

ed that a lot of the players, including Callaway and Grant Branch, could be asked to play the left or the right side of the line.

Dameron said Callaway is a player that could, if need be, play all five offensive line positions. Grant Branch could play on the left or right side, and inside guys like Hoover, Johari Branch, Tanuvasa and Harris can rotate to any of the inside positions on the line. “(Having to play any position) keeps

you on your toes,” Callaway said. “You need to know what everyone is doing on every single play. But it also helps out our communication because we do know what everyone has to do on every single play, so we can help out, make the right calls and get everyone moving in the right direction.”

The transition to the air-raid offensive has brought changes to the offensive line as well; blocking is not simply just blocking. Dameron said the players have been

learning new schemes and mentioned splits are something specific that are different in the new offense.

The pace the offense moves has been one of the biggest changes for everyone to make, especially the offensive line.

The air-raid offense moves very fast, giving these big men little time to rest between plays.

“I think we’re handling (the new offense) now. We’re getting in a lot better shape than we were in the spring and the beginning of camp,” Callaway said.

“We’re getting better with the tempo, getting better with running the ball and finishing every play. The plays are pretty similar to what we run, we have the new terminology down, so I am excited about it.”

The offensive line has played well in both of the scrimmages this fall, except for a brief period of struggles at the very beginning of the first scrimmage, but other than that it's been good.

The unit has given all the quarterbacks a good amount of time to throw on most throws and multiple times has opened large holes in the run game leading to big gains.

The hope is that if the offensive line can go out and play consistent, it will not matter who wins the quarterback battle, just as long as they are well-protected.

Denver wins, Omaha loses first two in Summit League

By Oscar Rzodkiewicz Men’s Soccer Reporter | @ORzodkiewicz Su m m i t L e a g u e m e n’s s o c cer kicked off Friday, and Eastern watched its league rivals flash their talent before the Panthers’ first match at Cincinnati.

The Summit League preseason favorite Denver posted a commanding 4-0 victory against Monmouth on Friday.

Senior forward Andre Shinyashiki provided three of Denver’s four goals in the contest and will likely continue to be a force into conference play.

Denver boasts both the 2017 Summit League Offensive Player of the

Year in Shinyashiki after a nine-goal year, as well as the 2017 Summit League Defensive Player of the Year, senior defender Scott DeVoss.

Shinyashiki and DeVoss were named First Team All-Summit League during their junior year campaigns.

The second-ranked preseason contender in the Summit League, Omaha, dropped its first two games to UC-Davis and Clemson. Both games ended with a 1-0 score.

Omaha’s defense allowed more than one goal in just four games en route to a 10-6-3 record last year, and the two-time First Team All-Summit junior defenseman Seth Rinderknecht

returns this season to try and maintain that defensive intensity.

Despite being ranked last in the preseason poll prior to the season, Fort Wayne delivered a beat down with a 5-0 victory against Marian on Friday night.

Senior midfielder Matthew Lieshout provided a hat trick in 51 minutes of time on the field to lift the Mastodons past Marian in Fort Wayne’s first game of the season.

Freshman forward Ryan Bernt and senior Blake Cearns provided a goal apiece to cap off Fort Wayne’s opener.

The third-ranked preseason Western Illinois forced a draw in their first game Friday at Oakland University

and fell 4-0 to Milwaukee on Sunday night.

Western Illinois’ starting junior goalkeeper Tim Trilk recorded 7 saves to his 5 goals allowed last season, though he saw a heavy 21 shots in the team’s opener against Oakland.

Freshman midfielder Xavier Brown tallied Western Illinois’ lone goal over its first two matches in 75 minutes of field time against Oakland.

Oral Roberts sits at a 1-1 record after losing at Drake on Friday 1-0 in overtime and rebounding with a win Monday against Bradley 2-1.

The Golden Eagles’ freshman goalkeeper Miles Motakef leads the Summit League early with 11 saves in 190

minutes.

Oral Roberts’ standout junior forward Junior Chavez was held scoreless despite recording three shots in both games. Chavez scored in 12 of the 15 matches he played in last season and was awarded Second Team All-Summit League honors in 2017.

No Summit League team will play again until Thursday night when Denver takes on Washington, and the rest of the conference will play Friday evening.

Eastern faces Evansville at 4 p.m. at Lakeside Field on Friday night.

Eastern tops Cincinnati 2-0 in opener

By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist A solid offensive attack was the key aspect for Eastern’s match Monday that ended in a 2-0 victory for the men’s soccer team.

The offense fired 11 total shots in the match and efficiently scored two goals in the first half on three shots.

Compared to Eastern’s second exhibition match against DePaul, the Panthers registered three more total shots, while also scoring more goals in Monday’s match alone than their preseason total (one).

On Monday against Cincinnati, Eastern’s attack had two important effects for the team.

First, by piling on as many shots as Eastern did, the panthers forced Cincinnati to play conservatively at times while trying to erase a two-goal deficit. Because Eastern’s attack kept getting good chances to score, the Bearcats had to be wary and hesitated offensively at times.

Secondly, Eastern’s counterattacks gave its defense a break during the second half.

After only recording one shot in the first half, Cincinnati out-shot Eastern in the second half 9-8, constantly applying pressure on the Panther defense and getting approximately three great chances to score.

Because of Eastern’s counterattack, the Panthers’ midfielders and forwards were able to move the ball and return the pressure to Cincinnati’s defense, giving Eastern’s defense a break.

The two goal scorers for Eastern were redshirt-junior midfielder/forward Christian Sosnowski and senior midfielder/forward Toby Andrews.

Andrews scored first for Eastern in the 23rd minute on a breakaway shot from outside the box, and Sosnowski scored on a penalty kick in the 41st minute.

On the defensive side, Eastern

stayed compact during the Bearcats’ constant pressure during the second half and gave redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Jonathan Burke some relief on a night where he had to make some important saves of his own.

One of Burke’s vital stops was in the 58th minute, when he correctly dove to his left to stop a penalty kick, which would have cut Eastern’s lead to one.

Later in the 77th minute, Burke stopped a header from a few feet away

that came off across from the right side of the field into the box. Burke stopped another header shortly after in the 79th minute.

Eastern’s victory starts the team with a 1-0 record for the season to stay on par with its other conference foes who started the season with wins: Fort Wayne, Oral Roberts and preseason Summit League favorite Denver.

The victory is also Burke’s first win and clean sheet as a collegiate goal-

keeper. Cincinnati dropped to 0-2 to start its season.

Eastern’s next two matches will be at home this weekend, starting at 4 p.m. Friday against Evansville and

Sunday at 1 p.m. against Green Bay. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@eiu.edu.

Women’s tennis team ready to welcome new coach

By Blake Faith Women’s Tennis Reporter | @BFAITH0024

The Eastern women’s tennis team is already making moves in order to further its program.

Last week Eastern hired Chris Tolson as the women’s tennis coach.

Tolson had previously coached for six seasons for the men’s and women’s tennis team at Arizona Christian University in Phoenix.

“I chose to come to EIU because the way everything worked this summer it just became the right fit,” Tolson said. “I am coming into a program that has a great group of young ladies, are extremely talented and close to taking that next step forward in competing for Conference Championships. I like EIU’s Campus and small town feel, as I believe it is a place where I will have the opportunity to grow as a coach as well as make life long relationships here.”

Tolson was the first head coach at Arizona Christian, building both programs from the ground up and guiding both teams into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Top 25 rankings at different times in his coaching career.

Last season Tolson led the men’s program to a 19-win season including advancing to the second round of the NAIA National Tournament.

position from Sam Kercheval, who left both programs for Notre Dame.

Players though were optimistic for the coaches future.

“I am excited for our new coach and think that he will be a good fit for our program. As for Sam leaving I’m excited for his opportunity,” ju-

nior Shelby Anderson said. “He was a positive coach over the past year and I wish him the best.”

Overall last year, the women’s

tennis team finished 111-109 in overall play, and 40-57 in doubles.

The team is looking though to improve overall in several aspects The big goal is to qualify for the OVC tournament and hopefully make a run to win the tournament..

“My expectations for the team are simply for our athletes to grow as tennis players and student athletes everyday,” Tolson said. “We have been middle of the pack in the conference the last few years and I would love to help this team and seniors take that next step to be one of the top teams in the conference. I want to see these ladies on the team enjoy the year and look back on it saying this was the best year at EIU so far.”

Sophomore Claire Martin had a similar thought to Anderson.

“I’m really excited that Chris Tolson has chosen to come to EIU to be our coach,” Martin said. “I’m looking forward to what he has to offer in terms of coaching, fitness and scheduling. I think in the fall we are looking to play good matches and get our fitness up, and I know Chris will know what we need and how it should be done.”

The women’s tennis season will begin Sept. 7 at the Southern Illinois Edwardsvile Fall Invite in Edwardsville.
