Discussion on shared governance continues By Brooke Schwartz News Editor | @DEN_News The Council on Academic Affairs discussed shared governance and the makeup of the Academic Program Elimination Reorganization Committee at their Thursday meeting. Since Jan. 2018, a shared governance plan has been discussed around campus with varying solutions. The most recent two solutions discussed by the Faculty Senate in Sept. included a change in the senate’s constitutional language or the creation of a Faculty Congress that would act as an umbrella for committees on campus. The discussion of any shared governance issues was tabled until the senate’s Oct. 16 meeting, with committee chairs, including the senate chair and vice chair and the chair of CAA, having met Wednesday to discuss different solutions. New possible ideas of shared governance were discussed at this lunch meeting. Marita Gronnvoll, CAA chair and communication studies professor, said the discussion centered around what part the senate plays in the committees. “(There were) quite a few questions about what role Faculty Senate would play in the curriculum process, if any,” Gronnvoll said. “This discussion is going to have to continue on whether or not the senate should have a role (in curriculum).” One potential idea that was discussed at the meeting was, Gronnvoll said, having the senate review new programs, not for curricular content, but for their continuation of Eastern’s mission and the resources that new program will need. Gronnvoll said that these are things the provost’s office looks at before a new program gets to CAA, but she said she thinks having faculty input on resources and mission could be beneficial. “I wouldn’t say it’s duplicating what the provost does, but it is a different set of eyes rather than just the provost’s office,” she said. Jeff Stowell, senate vice chair and psychology professor, was in attendance of Wednesday’s meeting and also attended CAA to aid in the shared governance developments. He said he sees this plan as a way to show unified faculty approval of a new program when it ends up in the provost’s office. “I don’t want this to be perceived as just a

stopping mechanism, but also a support mechanism,” Stowell said. Gronnvoll and Stowell said this proposal is in a very early draft mode, and that the various committee chairs will continue meeting to work out the details, such as at what stage in the curriculum approval process the senate would look at the new programs. The council also looked at the possibility of taking on the duties of APERC, which was discussed at Tuesday’s senate meeting. Many council members said the plan made sense, but the biggest problem is that, to serve on APERC, a faculty member has to be tenured, while that is not a requirement to serve on CAA. This means that some CAA members would not be able to serve on APERC if the council ended up taking those responsibilities.

History department welcomes new chair By Katelyn Eddington Contributing Writer | @ DEN_News History professor Sace Elder became the new chair of the history department on July 1 after teaching at SACE ELDER Eastern for 15 years. She said she believed becoming the department chair would be the next step and challenge in her career and when it was announced, she said she felt humbled. “I felt pleased that my colleagues thought highly enough of me that they had confidence I could do it and that the dean and provost also had confidence in me,” Elder said. Elder said the hardest and longest thing she thought about when she became the department

chair was leaving the collective bargaining unit, Eastern’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois. She said she has been a union member since she was a graduate student at the University of Illinois and she was on the EIU-UPI executive board for the last three years. She said another challenge that comes from becoming department chair is not having as much of an opportunity to work directly with students. Elder is a modern German historian by training and teaches Modern Germany, History of World War I, Women and Gender in Modern Europe, History of Human Rights, Modern World History and the Introduction to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program. “You have to find the time differently, it doesn’t happen quite as organically as when you’re teaching full time or coordinating a program and teaching,” Elder said when talking about her new position. She said she is working to stay in touch with students, which is important to her.

Myrtle Trazo, a graduate history student, said Elder is a phenomenal educator and is dedicated to the well-being of her students. “She isn’t just involved, she’s very involved in the history department,” Trazo said. “She’s also a very active member on campus. She’s always wanting to improve what's out there in terms of education.” As for the future, Elder said that she and the history department are in full planning mode for upcoming events. In November, both the history and English departments will partner up for the James Jones Lecture Series. In February, the department is having its annual History Careers Day and from May 9 to May 31 Elder and Christine Eydt-Beebe, the chair for the foreign languages department, will lead a study abroad trip to Germany.

More wind power would increase US temperatures WASHINGTON (AP) — Ramping up wind power in America would also dial up the nation's temperatures, a new study out of Harvard found. While wind energy is widely celebrated as environmentally friendly, the researchers concluded that a dramatic, all-out expansion in the number of turbines could warm the country even more than climate change from burning coal and other fossil fuels, because of the way the spinning blades disturb the layers of warm and cold air in the atmosphere. Some parts of the central United States are already seeing nights that are up to 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) warmer because of nearby wind farms, said study lead author Lee Miller, an environmental scientist at Harvard. "Any big energy system has an environmental impact," said Harvard engineering and physics professor David Keith, a study co-author. "There is no free lunch. You do wind on a scale big enough ... it'll change things." The researchers and other scientists stressed that climate change from greenhouse gas emissions is clearly a far bigger threat globally and over the long term than turbine-caused warming, which is tem-

Illinois village sued over 4-year-old boy's fire death PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — The mother of a 4-year-old boy who died in a house fire has sued a central Illinois village, arguing its fire department's response was inadequate. The lawsuit filed against Bartonville claims its volunteer firefighters took 12 minutes to arrive at the burning house on July 17 and didn't seek immediate help from a Peoria fire station that's about five minutes away. John Bankes III died in the fire. The (Peoria) Journal Star reports the cause re-

porary and stops when the blades aren't turning. Despite the potential drawbacks, wind energy still makes more sense for the environment than fossil fuels, Keith said. It's just that advocates of wind power have been ignoring growing evidence of a downside, he said. Overall, the Harvard study, published Thursday in the journal Joule , found that in the unlikely event that the U.S. switched massively to wind to supply nearly all of its electricity, there would be so many turbines that on average the nation's temperature would go up about 0.4 degrees (0.2 Celsius). Some central areas would see localized warming around 2.5 degrees (1.4 Celsius), though there would also be some cooling in places, such as the East Coast. Right now, wind provides 6.3 percent of the nation's electricity, according to the American Wind Energy Association. The study, which looked at just the United States, said that the turbines would cause more warming in the short term this century than the carbon dioxide America spews into the atmosphere would. The reason for this effect: Normally the air is more still at night, with cold air staying near the sur-

face and warmer air resting a little higher. But turbines bring the warm air down and cool air up, making the ground a bit toastier. The effect is seen less during the day but is still there. Still, the effect from turbines is different from human-caused climate change. It mostly consists of warming, it's local, and it's temporary. When the turbines are still because the air is calm, there's no warming. Climate change, in contrast, is a global effect that involves many m o re e l e m e n t s t h a n t e m p e r a ture, such as sea level rise, extreme weather, melting glaciers and shifts in the jet stream. Even if a country stopped emitting greenhouse gases, it would still experience climate change if the rest of the world kept on polluting. Past studies have observed a temporary nighttime warming of as much as 2 degrees (1.1 Celsius) in places with lots of wind turbines, such as North Texas. The Harvard study took observations and used computer simulation to project what a dramatic increase in turbines would look like for temperatures. Wind advocates emphasized that the Harvard study doesn't show turbines causing global warming, just local heating.

mains under investigation. The lawsuit argues the village department showed "an utter disregard" for the boy's safety. WEEK-TV reports Bartonville Mayor Leon Ricca declined to comment. Peoria's mayor has blamed four fire deaths in Bartonville and West Peoria over the past 11 years on the reluctance of volunteer departments to seek the city's assistance.

The FBI has interviewed people who, calendar entries show, were present for a July 1, 1982, gathering of high school students, including Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. But Ford has never believed the assault occurred that night because some of those listed as having been present are people she knew well and would have remembered. The legal team member, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private investigation, says Ford also would have told the FBI that the evening she was assaulted was just a regular night for everyone else and there was no reason they'd have remembered it.

Ford lawyer says FBI focused on wrong date A member of Christine Blasey Ford's legal team says FBI interviewers are focusing on the wrong date.

Busboy who aided wounded Robert Kennedy dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Robert F. Kennedy decided to duck through the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after declaring victory in the 1968 Democratic presidential primary, Juan Romero reveled at his good fortune. It meant the 18-year-old busboy might get to shake hands with his hero — the man he'd assured himself would be the next president of the United States — for the second time in two days. Romero had just grasped Kennedy's hand when gunshots rang out, one of them striking the senator in the head. Kennedy would die the next day and the teenage Mexican immigrant who had idolized him would carry the emotional burden of that encounter for most of his life. Romero died Monday in a Modesto, California, hospital following a heart attack, Rigo Chacon, a longtime family friend and former TV newsman, told The Associated Press on Thursday. He was 68. Romero, who moved from Los Angeles decades ago, spent most of his life in the Northern California cities of San Jose and Modesto, Chacon said. He worked in construction, including concrete and asphalt paving, enjoying the often-grueling physical labor with no intention of retiring any time soon. "Juan was a big, brawny guy, a muscular guy and seemingly in good health," said Chacon, adding his death came as a shock to family and friends. "According to his daughter Elda, he was the happiest she had seen him in a while," Chacon added, noting the divorced Romero had recently met a woman who helped bring peace into his life. For decades, each time Romero saw black-and-white news photos of himself — a baby-faced busboy gently cradling Kennedy as he lay sprawled on the hotel's concrete kitchen floor — he would wonder what more he should have done to save Kennedy. Only recently, he said during rare interviews this year, did he finally come to terms with that struggle. He said he still carried the example Kennedy had set as he campaigned for equality and civil rights. "I still have the fire burning inside of me," Romero said.

Student panelists discuss ‘What is Latinx?’ Thursday in the Charleston/Mattoon room of the Martin Luther King Jr. Union. Latinx is a gender-neutral term for Latino or Latina.

Student panel discusses growing up Latinx By Hannah Shillo Staff Reporter | @DEN_News A panel consisting of seven Latinx students was held to discuss experiences growing up as Latinxs Thursday night. The Latin American Student Organization, the Latin American Studies, the Department of Foreign Languages and the Latino Heritage Celebration Committee held the panel in the Charleston/Mattoon Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The event defined the term Latinx: a gender-neutral term used in place of Latino or Latina. While there were seven panelists, and only four said they spoke Spanish fluently. Adam Sandoval, a senior Spanish major, said he did not speak Spanish fluently as a child, and because of that, he was not seen as a “true” Mexican-American. “I’ve been told, ‘You’re generic,’” he said. “You know, ‘You look like the product, but you don’t have all of the ingredients.’” Elizette Garza, a junior psychology major, said she had some learning disabilities growing up, which made it harder to learn two languages at once, so she was taught English. “A lot of people come up to you and say you’re a fake Mexican,” she said. “(Being able to speak Spanish) is not all that the culture is about.” Dominique Brown, senior psychology ma-

jor, said she identifies as an Afro-Latina, meaning she comes from African descent and Latino descent. “When people look at me, they obviously see that I’m black,” she said. “They assume that’s it, so I have to explain that I do come from a Latino culture.” Diana Argueta, a freshman communication studies major, said she joined LASO because she wanted to make the school more diverse. “I’ve noticed that Eastern doesn’t have a lot of diversity,” she said. “I want to bring the culture out there.” Argueta said she finds difficulty when grocery shopping because the Hispanic food section at the grocery store is not big enough. “I eat a lot of Hispanic foods, because that’s what I grew up eating,” she said. “I was looking at Walmart, and it hurt me that the Hispanic food section was (not big).” Sandoval said he wondered how he could fight the stereotypes that come with being Latinx and how he could become an advocate, so he joined LASO and got involved to learn more about his culture. “I turned my (Spanish) minor into a major so I can learn and communicate more and so I can see exactly what made me and what made my parents,” he said. “I’ve got stronger pride for who I am since coming to Eastern.” Hannah Shillo can be reached at 581-2812 or hlshillo@eiu.edu.

The alert heard ‘round the country

Try to avoid getting too stressed out over your midterms Midterms start next week, and most college students are probably stressing out right now. It will be fine. Just take a breath and figure out what you are going to do. Do not drink too much this weekend; we at The Daily Eastern News feel that schoolwork should be prioritized over drinking and social events. Eastern will always be fun, so taking one weekend off from partying will not be the end of the world. Try to hold off on the coffee and energy drinks. Yes, they will give you energy, but those drinks will make you crash eventually, and that will not be good if you still have a whole other paper to write. Try healthier methods to gain energy like getting some extra sleep or having an apple in the morning. Plan ahead for the next few days and figure out what you are doing on each day, whether that is studying, writing papers, working on projects, etc. If you have a job, plan with your work schedule so you will not be tearing your hair out at work. Sometimes studying in a group is an efficient method for retaining information. Even if your friends do not have the same classes, their inputs can help you when you are studying. On the contrary, if you need to get away from people and study by yourself, try going to the library. It is always quiet there, and they have an abundance of resources to help you with your studies. Remember to take breaks during your schoolwork. If you go on and on without a break, you will do very bad work and not retain as much information. Get some food, watch some TV, play a video game or do whatever you find most relaxing during your breaks. Midterms are important. They are worth a large percentage of your grade, but do not get too stressed out about it. As long as you plan ahead and use the advice listed above, you should be fine.

Men need to learn to have empathy All men are bad. Not some men. Not even most men. No, all men are bad. Masculinity is like an infectious, degenerative disease. All men contract it at a young age, and it gets progressively worse without treatment. Many men simply get used to it. They have been this way for as long as they can remember, and they see no reason to change. They think they are normal. But a life infected with masculinity should not be considered normal. Every man is expected to embody certain aspects of masculinity. They are not supposed to be emotional. They are not supposed to be empathetic. And as a result, we have millions of men with no sense of social standards and no regard for the emotions of others. Men become sociopaths who are incapable of viewing the world through different perspectives. Men also have a certain level of privilege and entitlement that women simply don’t have. White men in particular have had everything handed to them for centuries. All men, regardless of race, have been consid-

ADAM TUMINO ered superior to women for nearly all of history. What have men done to earn this privilege? What makes them so special? Nothing makes men special, and they are starting to realize this. Men are scared, especially old, successful, white men. They are so used to being unquestionably in charge that the thought of other people sharing their power rocks their pathetic little world to the core. Women are starting to hold more positions of power. They are more than able to do anything men can do.

Men have always been given more opportunities, and now they are concerned that a more capable woman will pass them up. And they should be concerned. But what can men do to be better? Sure, they are infected with masculinity, but they can cure themselves. All they need to do is learn empathy. Talk with people with different experiences, especially women. Men cannot fathom being marginalized the way women have been marginalized. So men mistake small inconveniences for marginalization. Speak with women about their experiences with entitled men. If you speak with 10 women, you’ll likely hear about at least nine experiences ranging from uncomfortable to traumatic. The last thing men can do is come to terms with their fate. Their time in the limelight is coming to an end, and not a moment too soon. The sooner they realize that, the better off we will all be. Adam Tumino is a junior journalism major.

Respect guest speakers; learn from them Having a guest speaker come visit a class is always a valuable experience. Whether it be a local business owner imparting their wisdom on future entrepreneurs, a veteran teacher giving tips to student teachers regarding the job hunt or a community leader talking to political science students about the latest local election, connecting with professionals in the field bridges the gap between the classroom and the reality that awaits us all after graduation. That being said, not everyone will agree with (or maybe even like) the guest speaker. There may be differences in philosophy, ethics and/or practice, but no one is forced to have lunch with or befriend a guest speaker. The point of a guest lecturer is to hear an outside perspective and provide a networking opportunity for those who are interested. That being said, having a guest speaker is something that should be taken seriously. Remember when our teachers would review the rules before taking us to the zoo? Be nice and say thank you to the bus driver, be polite to the zookeepers, do not shout if you have a question, and be sure to respect all the animals and facilities in the zoo. Simple enough. It is not taxing to be kind, especially for an afternoon. The same principle

should apply to guest speakers invited into college classrooms. Recently, I had a guest speaker visit one of my classes, and I was absolutely horrified by the way some of my peers treated the speaker. The professional came in to help us prepare for an upcoming internship, and instead of asking relevant questions, a few of my peers challenged and tried to throw the speaker off of their game. Thankfully, our speaker was patient and was a master of diverting the tangential dialogue. This should not have happened, as my peers know better than to play rhetorical tennis, wasting time with a volley of arbitrary opinions and examples

to counter one another in front of the class. Additionally, it made the entire class uncomfortable, which is unfortunate. If you find yourself in a lecture with a speaker with whom you do not respect or agree with, pause and write down your questions and save them for the Q&A session. The only questions that should interrupt a lecture are clarification questions, but even those are usually answered in time. Understand that I do not underestimate the value of discourse, but there is a time and a place, and in the middle of a guest speaker’s presentation is not the time to incite an alternative agenda. Having a guest lecturer, regardless of whether you agree with their ideas, is a learning experience. It is a time to further reflect on one’s own philosophy and adjust slightly to better prepare for the future they wish to build after graduation. Also, it is a wonderful time to ask questions, so long as they are appropriate and constructive. Leave the arguments and hypothetical illustration/projection for the comment section on Facebook.

‘The Moors’ opens this weekend By Logan Raschke Staff Reporter | @DEN_News “The Moors” comedic play will be Friday, Oct. 5 through Sunday, Oct. 7 at the Black Box Theatre in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. Performances of “The Moors” start at 7:30 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for guests, and they can be purchased at the Doudna Box Office. Professor of Theatre Jean Wolski said this is the last play she will direct at Eastern before she retires, and she thinks it will be a good one to end on. She said the comedy is for adult audiences only, and it is not a typical comedic play. “(“The Moors”) is something that’s a little bit on the dark side, but if you like kind of twisted comedies, this one is for you,” she said. “I think the student population is going to like it.” Wolski said the play was influenced by mid-1900s romantic English novelists, like the Bronte sisters, and the novel “Wuthering Heights.” “There are some characters that are named after the Brontes,” she said.

“(“The Moors”) is something that’s a little bit on the dark side, but if you like kind of twisted comedies, this is the one for you … I think the student population is going to like it.” -Jean Wolski, professor of theatre Another aspect that sets “The Moors” apart from other comedic plays is the interesting story and characters, she said. “(The play) is about these two sisters and their maid and their dog who hire a governess to come,” she said. “(The characters are) trying to find meaning in their lives, and find a purpose for why they are there, but they’re in this very brutal, dark sort of foreboding atmosphere they’ve moved into.” Jenni Passig, an alum who instructed and majored in theatre arts, is playing the role of Agatha—the older and dominant sister. “She’s just the woman of the house,” she said. “She hires the governess and she oversees the working of the house.” Agatha is the polar opposite of characters Passig is used to perform-

ing as, but she still enjoys her role very much, she said. “(Agatha) is quite manipulative to her advantage and just so stern and so firm,” she said. “She’s a solid rock through and through and she’s not a rock that’s easy to penetrate … You really have to chisel away to figure out (the) things that make Agatha tick.” Passig said it has been about eight years since she has performed on stage and that she is delighted to be working with Wolski once more before she retires. “It’s been a long road to return to this experience,” she said. “I’m incredibly grateful that it’s this opportunity and that I’m working with Jean.” Chemistry education major Cullen Scurlock said he is playing Mastiff the dog, and one of his favorite things about Wolski’s and the actors’ rendition of “The Moors” is how they have

expanded upon the play. “(“The Moors”) is hilarious,” he said. “We’ve taken it to a completely different direction.” Sabrina Turner, a family and consumer sciences major, said she plays the Moor-hen, and this is her first time performing live as one of the main characters of a play. “(“The Moors”) is my first play, so it’s all very new and different,” she said. “To be an actual character is very interesting.” Turner said after she read the script, she knew she would be a great candidate for her character, the Moor-hen. “I was rehearsing with my sister and she was like, ‘this is so you,’” she said. Theatre major Hannah Kelly said she plays duo role of Marjory the maid, and she would recommend “The Moors” to anyone who enjoys a unique, twisted play with a dark sense of humor, or to anyone curious to see something new. “(“The Moors”) is absurd in the best way,” she said.

Women's soccer to face first-place Cougars By Adam Tumino Women's Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports With a majority of the conference season in the books, the Eastern women’s soccer team heads to Southern Illinois Edwardsville on Sunday for an interstate showdown. The Cougars are currently tied with the Murray State Racers for first place on the OVC. The match will mark the third straight Sunday where Eastern has played a team that is in first place in the conference. On Sept. 23 Eastern beat Austin Peay 1-0, who was at that point tied with Eastern for first place. Then on Sept. 30 they played Tennessee-Martin to a scoreless draw. Tennessee-Martin was in the lead at the time and are currently in third place in the OVC. Southern Illinois Edwardsville is 4-2 in conference play and has won three of their last four matches, their lone loss in that span coming against TennesseeMartin on Sept. 28. Eastern has performed well with a tough conference schedule, going 2-2-2 and sitting in fourth place in the standings. In their last four matches, the Panthers have played four of the top six teams in the OVC. Southern Illinois Edwardsville will be their fifth match

against a top six opponent in three consecutive weekends. “Those three weekends have been tough for us,” head coach Jake Plant said. “But we’ve managed to get good performances.” In that span they have allowed five goals, earning shutouts against Austin Peay and Tennessee-Martin. But they have scored just three goals in the past two weekends, and have four total goals in six conference matches. Plant said that he is pleased with the defensive consistency, especially earning four shutouts in the first six conference matches. “That’s very impressive, in our own opinion,” he said. “If we can keep that going, it means when we get that breakout game, when the attack sort of clicks, we’ll look very good.” The Panthers have scored in four conference matches, but have not had a multi-goal match against an OVC opponent. They only have two multi-goal performances overall, coming in a 3-2 loss at Green Bay on Aug. 26 and a 2-0 victory at Chicago State on Sept. 2. “When the first goal goes in, the second one usually helps things and the third one definitely helps things,” Plant said. “In terms of having that kind of game, we’re pushing every day for it.” The Panthers have had six players

score goals this season, and three players have scored twice. Juniors Sarah DeWolf and Lexi Ketterhagen, and sophomore Haylee Renick, each have two goals. Ketterhagen has added three assists and leads the team

with seven points. “We are showing that we can play with the top of the conference,” Plant said. “That’s where we want to be by the end of the year. After the match this Sunday, the Pan-

thers will return home to play Southeast Missouri on Oct. 11 in what will be Eastern’s final home match of the season. Adam Tumino can be reached at 581-2812 or ajtumino@eiu.edu.

Men’s soccer set to host Western Illinois Saturday By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist The men’s soccer team faces its second conference opponent, Western Illinois, Saturday after suffering what was likely the Panthers’ worst loss this season. Eastern and Western are the two most similar teams in the Summit League right now, both sitting at the lower end of the conference with the same 2-6-3 record. On top of that, both teams are coming into the weekend with offenses that have performed lesst h a n - d e s i r a b l y r e c e n t l y, o r i n Western’s case, for most of the sea-

son. Eastern averaged ten shots per game during the first six matches of the season, but in the last five matches, the Panthers have averaged 6.4 shots. To be fair, the Panthers have averaged eight shots per match in the last three matches, but only two goals to show for in the three. What has hindered the Panthers even more so recently has been giving up goals. Eastern gave up only four goals through the first six matches of the season, but the Panthers’ opponents have scored 10 goals in the last five matches, which is

too high for a team not scoring enough to counteract it. In Eastern’s last match, a 3-0 loss to Northern Kentucky, the Norse had 17 total shots, and eight of them on goal. The three goals is tied for the most Eastern has given up in a single match this season. Even though the Panthers have given up a lot of goals lately, the bright spot for the defense is that it has held the nation’s two leading scorers scoreless in its last two matches. But with facing Western Saturday, Eastern has a chance to have a better match offensively and de-

fensively to get back on track for the rest of the season. The Leathernecks have been the worst team in the Summit League offensively and second-worst defensively. We s t e r n o n l y h a s s i x g o a l s scored on the season, which is only one less than Eastern, who has the second-fewest goals in the conference. T h e L e a t h e r n e c k s’ l e a d i n g scorer only has two goals so far this season, and only five Western players have scored so far this year. On top of that, as a team, Western only has one assist. We s t e r n h a s a l s o g i v e n u p

17 goals this season to opponents, which is four less than Fort Wayne, who has given up the most in the conference. Eastern is just ahead of Western in the goals give n u p c a t e g o r y, w i t h 1 4 g o a l s scored against the Panthers. Western is also giving up 11.2 shots per game to opponents this season and 1.55 goals per game. Eastern will host Western at noon on Saturday, the second of the Panthers’ three home conference matches this season. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@ eiu.edu.

Smith could return for Tennessee road trip By Tom O’Connor Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports Senior Taylor Smith’s absence may well in fact be over, as volleyball head coach Julie Allen hinted that the 2017 All-OVC senior could make a return to the lineup as early as this weekend, with Eastern scheduled to play Austin Peay and Murray State. While the configuration of the lineup changed when she left, the team marched onward at much the same cadence, not with regards to performance but rather in terms of cohesion. This was in no small part due to Smith’s resolve to remain committed to the rehabilitation process and, with the end goal in mind, the interests of the team. “When an injury happens, one key important part is to stay positive, stay focused on rehab and know you can come back even s t r o n g e r f r o m i t ,” s a i d A l l e n . “Taylor has done an excellent job taking the right steps to get herself stronger and in tune with her teammates.” On the condition that she will line up next to her teammates on the court as anticipated, Smith should be available to play in Friday’s matchup. This scenario will place her on the court against the Governors who, at 3-0 in home matches and undefeated in conference play, have flashed the best record in the Ohio Valley Conference through-

out much of the season. Directly across the net from Smith, Austin Peay sophomore and outside hitter Brooke Moore invigorated its offense to a fourth

straight win, gluing together 30 kills as part of the Governors’ pair of victories last week. Murray State, the second of two opponents on the Tennessee road

trip, has won five of the last six meetings, dating back to 2015, versus the Panthers. The last time the Panthers outlasted Murray State, Eastern ben-

efitted from one of its freshman, as it was Smith of all players, who led all players with 18 kills and six blocks. But, even so, Allen is not demanding that Smith play at this caliber. “There are no expectations put on Taylor or any returning player when coming back from an injury,” Allen said. “All I ask for is the athlete to be honest, listen to their body and athletic trainer. And, when a player is cleared, it is then my job as a coach to get the player feeling comfortable to play and play alongside their teammates.” Sidelined with an ankle sprain ever since the Drake tournament in the opening weeks of September, Smith took on an adviso ry role off the court, assisting her teammates as best she could in this newfound occupation. In reference to her minutes on the court, Allen does not bear any reservations concerning Smith’s ability to recuperate after such a prolonged departure from the volleyball court. “ Taylor has done a great job leading the team while being out and I do not see any problems when she gets to get back on the court,” Allen said. “She has done a nice job staying involved throughout the weeks and knows exactly what I expect from the team, the plays and defense.” Tom O’Connor can be reached at 581-2812 or troconnor@eiu.edu.

Dameron wants to see full game from defense By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The narrative for the Eastern football team has stayed the same through the first five weeks of the season. Every discussion has revolved almost exclusively around the struggles of the defense. After weeks one, two and three, the tone was that the defense was simply just not good enough. In week four the defense switched schemes, and after a 41-40 loss to Tennessee State and the narrative changed, instead of the defense playing entirely horrible, head coach Kim Dameron said he saw the defense played good for only one half of the game. When the Eastern football team picked up its first win of the season in a 52-38 win over Tennessee Tech, the narrative progressed; this time, however, Dameron said he saw the defense work well for three full quarters before letting things get out of hand in the fourth quarter. Dameron wants to see a full four quarters of good play from his defense this Saturday against Murray State, something he says is going to take continued tweaks of the defense. “When we get there far ahead that they have to become one dimensional, we have to make them pay for that,” Dameron said. “Instead of just getting back there and letting them throw the ball down the seams and hit four or five big plays just in the fourth quarter. We have got to make them pay. So when we get them in a situation to where they are one dimensional and we know they have to throw, we have got to make those throws down the field and that’s just something right now that we haven’t done, but we have to find a way to get it done.”

Most of the points and yards Eastern has been giving up late in games have been through the air, which is not really too much of a surprise considering teams tend to lean on the pass as games move into late stages. But where the concern comes in is with the Panthers’ inability to stop teams from passing all over the field. Eastern gave up 28 second-half points to Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech, and 21 of those points against Tennessee Tech came in the fourth quarter alone. What Dameron says it is going to really come down to is the team putting players out on the field who are “hungry” to compete and finish games. In the front seven, Dameron recognizes that there are a lot of guys in that unit that have played a lot of games, and he is very happy this week to see the return of sophomore linebacker Austin Johnson this week, who has been gone since fall camp. But, he is still waiting to see more from the inside three guys on defense. “Our three inside guys, we have just been searching for guys to grow up and make plays,” Dameron said. “We’re looking at anybody and everybody as far as being able to help us in that area and so you never know who you might see in the secondary this week.” The secondary has been a stress point for the defense, and health and lack of execution have had a lot to do with that. Both all-conference cornerback Mark Williams and fellow starter DySaun Smith have been injured on and off this season, and the back end of the secondary has had its holes and share of rotation on the depth chart in an effort to solve the issues. It will be especially important for the defense to show up and make the

plays Dameron hopes to see them make this week because Murray State is a team a lot like Eastern, with a highpowered offense but a defense that leaves a lot to be desired. The Racers started the season 0-3 but, like Eastern, picked up its first win last week in a big 45-38 win over Tennessee-Martin in an offensive shootout. Eastern is anticipating to see a very similar game that Tennessee-Martin did against the Racers.

“(Murray State) is going to have a lot of familiarity as far as the two offenses are concerned, because they kind of come from the same family to be honest with you,” Dameron said. “And both defenses have struggled this year and so there is a good possibility that there might be a lot of offense. But, you never know in a game like this.” It does not take long to find the similarities between Murray State and Eastern. Both teams are coming off of conference games where they scored

over 40 points, and both teams have defenses that rank in the bottom three in the conference. Eastern was picked to finish 5th in the conference this preseason and Murray State was picked to finish 7th. All season long these teams have mirrored each other in a lot of ways and this Saturday the two will finally have a chance to separate themselves from each other.
