Voter turnout better than last year

STUDENT GOVERNMENT EDITOR
Student Government almost tripled
the total student turnout during the
first day of elections compared to
results from the Student Senate elections last November.

Deedrick said.
Of the 23 positions, there are
nine on-campus, four off-campus and
10 at-large positions to be filled, he
said.
At the union and Carman Hall, 63
students voted and Coleman Hall
drew 57 voters. The most off-campus
votes were cast at Coleman Hall and
the most on-campus were cast at the
union.
Deedrick said around 75 voted in
last year’s senate elections, and the
additional turnout this year could be
because of the polling location in the
union.
“We’ve been encouraging people to
vote,” he said. “There’s increased
traffic here in the union. We didn’t
have the table at the food court.”
Deedrick said the food court was
not open for elections last year.
Deedrick also said the presence of
the “Student’s Voice” party, started
last spring, could have increased
votes.
Deedrick said several Student
Government executives ran under the
party last year and 10 students were
running under the party name this
election.
“They swept the executive elections
last year,” Deedrick said.
The party membership helps show
candidates share common views with
students, said Speaker of the Senate
Bill Davidson, a member of the party.

Deedrick said senate members, once
elected, will attend committee meetings,
one weekly senate meeting and are
required to serve two office hours a week.

The case of economics professor Teshome
Abebe versus Eastern’s Board of Trustees and
former president Carol Surles was dismissed
Tuesday without a settlement and with prejudice, meaning neither party can appeal any
charges.
Abebe cited bad publicity and exhaustion as
reasons for dropping the charges in a statement
his lawyer, John Otto of Zimmerly, Gadau, Selin
& Otto in Urbana, issued Tuesday.
Both sides dropped all charges mutually, both
agreeing to do so with prejudice, which means
neither side will attempt to appeal any charges.
“... Considering the enormous financial, emotional and physical cost of continuing, I have
decided to settle the lawsuit and devote my
energies and intellect to the service of my students. With this lawsuit behind me, I can now
resume my life in freedom and forgiveness
without confusion, fear or hesitation,” Abebe’s
statement said.
The university had no statement regarding
the dismissal, university spokesperson Vicki
Woodard said. The attorney for Surles and the
Board of Trustees, Elaine Massock, was not
available for comment Tuesday.
Abebe filed charges against Surles on Nov.
14, 2000, alleging she discriminated against him
on the basis of race, sex and national origin.
Abebe came to Eastern in March of 1998 as
provost and vice president for academic affairs
and was reassigned as a professor of economics
two years later.
Court documents state Abebe accused Surles
of saying, “this campus cannot handle two black
people at the top.” Court documents filed by
Abebe also alleged Surles tried to make Abebe
her boyfriend.
Surles denied these charges, previously, saying, “There is not a scintilla of truth in Dr.
Abebe’s allegations.”
In his lawsuit, Abebe was seeking back pay
and reimbursement for lost benefits and wanted to be reinstated as provost and vice president for academic affairs, court documents
state.
When Abebe was reassigned as an economics
professor, his salary was reduced to $65,700 a
year from $120,756 a year when he was provost
and vice president for academic affairs. Abebe
alleged other Eastern administrators were able
to retain their monthly salary if they became a

Residence halls could re-open a day early after break
◆ Opening depends on
whether Eastern plays at
home for playoff game
By Melissa Nielsen
CAMPUS EDITOR
Even with the allure of free
tickets, getting students to
attend the Panther football
team’s home playoff game may
be harder than usual. However,
the
university
is
making
arrangements for students and
appealing to their school spirit.
If the Panther football team wins
its game against Murray State this
weekend, the win will increase the
team’s chances of playing its first
playoff game at home. While the
athletic department is hyped about
the chance to bring in fans for a
home game, the expected date for
the game may cause challenges,
said Dave Kidwell, assistant athletic director.
The game will fall on Nov. 30,
the
last
Saturday
of
Thanksgiving break. Kidwell
said he was relying on school
spirit and publicity to drive
attendance, since recruiting and
advertising on an empty campus
may yield few results.
The athletic department has
passed out promotional flyers in
the immediate location, and
plans to promote the game in
local papers. Kidwell said he
expects media outlets statewide
will give the game good coverage because it is a playoff
match.
Housing and Dining Services
plan to open Saturday at 10 a.m.
instead of Sunday at 1 p.m., if
Eastern does in fact host the
game. Kelly Miller, assistant
director of housing, said students were being informed of
the
changes
in
their
Thanksgiving Break check out
lists. The flyers also include
information about how students
“We’re counting on student interest to see what
time the game is. They can all go shopping on
Friday and go to the game on Saturday.”
—Dave Kidwell
can find out if Eastern will host.
“They don’t need to make any
special arrangements,” she said.
Furthermore, because most
students will not be on campus
to receive the 1,000 free tickets
that may be available if funding
passes
through
the
Apportionment Board, the first
1,000 students to arrive O’Brien
Stadium will be given free
admission, Kidwell said.
“We’re counting on student
interest to see what time the
game is,” he said.
“They can all go shopping on
Friday and come to the game on
Saturday.”

The Student Senate
has a full agenda
By John Chambers
The Student Senate will introduce four motions that must be
tabled, one resolution and one
bylaw change at its Wednesday
meeting, after not meeting at all
last week.
One piece of legislation will
recommend executives make
attempts
to
fill
Student
Government committee positions
at the beginning of the year
before appointing themselves.
A resolution recommending
Student Government executives
only serve on specified committees failed in September, so now
the resolution will be voted on as
what the senate calls a “bill,” said
senate member Dwight Nelson,
co-author of the resolution.
“The legislation will be a firm
recommendation that (executives) exhaust all other avenues
before you appoint yourself,” he
said. “In the past, the policy has
been to appoint themselves in the
first three weeks and be done
with it.”
Nelson said he purposely wrote
the resolution only as broad recommendation without suggesting
specific attempts executives
should make to fill the committee
positions.
“I want this to be a reminder to
them,” he said. “I’m not trying to
tell them how to do their job.
That’s not senate’s job.”
He said this motion, as opposed
to the original resolution, can be
amended to be more specific.
“A bill is more formal, a bill is
more permanent and a bill is
more long-lasting,” Nelson said.
“This is just the first step. Now
we got it in black and white.”
The resolution already introduced in senate would have taken
away from what executives can
offer, said Speaker of the Senate
Bill Davidson.
“I would not be for it if the
same resolution or somewhat the
same resolution came across the
table,” Davidson previously told
The Daily Eastern News. “These
executives are some of the best
advocates of students.”
Two motions will approve allocations Apportionment Board
allocated to University Board last
week.
Any additional allocation AB
makes to its five fee-funded
boards must be approved by
Student Senate, and then by
administration.
Part of UB’s request for funds
was for $6,620 to fund nine comedians for the spring semester,
said UB chair Caleb Judy.
Judy said the success of the
comedians this semester prompted the request.
Judy also requested $15,000 on
behalf of the athletic department
for 1,000 free tickets for Eastern
to host three possible rounds of
the NCAA playoff games.
AB passed a bylaw this semester allowing only the five boards
it funds to request additional allocations. Since athletics is not one
of the five, the department had to
appeal to the UB to make their
request to AB.
Also tonight, a senate resolution will recommend students be
further involved in the grade
appeals process.
If a grade appeals conflict cannot be solved, it eventually goes
to the Department
Grade
Appeals Committee where a student serves as an ex-officio member, said Ronnie Deedrick, student vice president for academic
affairs.
Student Government is recommending a student not associated
with the department involved in
the grade appeal serve as a voting
member as a departmental standard procedure, Deedrick said.
“What a student should have is
a semblance of a jury of their
peers and that is what one student
will give them,” he said.
A bylaw change will be voted
on to require the Speaker of the
Senate to be responsible for collecting, recording and maintaining a paper copy of any legislation in senate.

Committee

records of legislation, but the
change is a bylaw addition that
will ensure there is a copy,
Davidson said.

Fraternity blood drive gathers
more than 200 units of blood
By Amee Bohrer
S TA F F W R I T E R
For the first time in her life and after three tries,
Alexis Funk, a sophomore 3-D art major, was able to
successfully donate blood.
In three previous times, she has had both arms poked
because volunteers were unable to find veins.
But Funk kept trying because she said she wanted to
help out somebody other than herself.
The pledge class of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive as their community service project from 1 to 7 p.m. Tuesday in the
Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr.
University Union.
Danny Battista, president of the blood drive committee and a senior finance major, said each productive
blood drive can save up to three lives. The goal for the
blood drive was 250 units.
There are actual medical benefits donating blood,
said Pam Burgess, the American Red Cross supervisor.
“Donation gets rid of excess iron, which is good for
the body since too much iron can be hard on organs,”
she said. “It’s more important for men to donate since
they don’t have monthly menstruation. Men who donate
on a regular basis have less heart attacks, and suffer
less major diseases.”
Todd Foster, a Charleston resident, can attest to the
medical benefits because he has been donating for
about five years.
“About a week later, I feel physically better myself,”
he said. “I get a rush of energy, it’s like getting an oil
change.”
“You can donate every 56 days,” said Lynn Stahlhut,
a senior dietetics major.
Burgess said blood has a shelf-life of 42 days and
provided an interesting fact.
“Since Sept. 11, donations to the American Red Cross
have actually decreased,” she said. “We try to maintain
a three-day supply, and immediately after 9-11, we
were up to an eleven-day supply.”
“But since then, all the publicity about nationwide
donations have led people to believe there is more blood
being donated than there actually is,” Burgess said. “So
donations have tapered off. During holidays we sometimes get down to a half day’s supply.”
Justin Cummings, a sophomore biology/Spanish major,
said donating blood makes him relax.
Delta Tau Delta’s goal was 150 donors, which was was
already surpassed, at 234. Approximately 150 units of
blood were counted, and 200 were expected by the
drive’s end.

“Jungle Fever” is more than just a song for the
Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce; it’s the
group’s annual Lootery fundraiser this year.
The chamber is hosting its annual Lootery fundraising event with a “Jungle Fever” theme Friday Nov. 22.
For the event, E.L. Krackers has donated their
upstairs “jungle” room as well as Stu’s dance bar for
the Lootery. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and the first
ticket will be drawn at 6 p.m. The fundraisers feature
food, drink, networking and prizes.
“The event is one of most fun and most successful
fundraisers,” said Laura Sullivan, executive assistant
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The “Jungle Fever” event will give away more than
$6,000 in cash prizes. This year’s grand prize is $2,000.
In addition, every fifth ticket drawn wins $50; every
50th ticket drawn wins $100.
Tickets are $50 each and one ticket admits two people. Additional tickets will be sold between breaks of
prize announcements. Raffle tickets also will be sold
for a chance at one of the four final tickets ranging
from $100 to $250. The last and final ticket drawn is
worth $2,000, and for all prizes ticket holders need not
be present to win.
The main event of the night is at Stu’s, but the
upstairs room in Krackers will be full of volunteers
dressed in jungle wear testing event-goers’ luck at
table games.
Todd Lindey of the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health
Foundation will serve as master of ceremonies and
Mike Stanfield of Stanfield Auction Company will conduct the auction.
This annual event is held to help support Chamber
projects such as economic development efforts for
the city and marketing materials. The proceeds will
help put together and market a demographics book
for the city of Charleston, Sullivan said. Such a book is
designed to recruit residents to Charleston, attract
businesses to the city, or both.
Economic development efforts proceeds will go to
help retain business in Charleston and bring in new
businesses.
Although the night is geared for Chamber members
and the community, students are welcome to attend.
For more information call 345-7041.

Reed: Expect
more outages
Students can
learn from Huck
Finn’s choices
By Melissa Nielsen
CAMPUS EDITOR
By Chris Luther
STAFF WRITER
Three panel members discussed the moral dilemmas
found in Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn” and students were able to find a connection between
the book and real life.
A paragraph in “Huckleberry Finn” grew into a panel discussion Tuesday at the Booth Library Conference Room.
The panel members were Theresa Britton, a professor of
philosophy, Christopher Hanlon, a professor of English and
Martin Hardeman, a professor of history.
Hardeman said Huck is confronted with a moral dilemma
to take Jim, a fugitive slave, north to safety, but the law said
slaves must be returned to their master.
Britton’s idea suggested two positions people take when
dealing with personal dilemmas.
“People should always do what they believe to be the best
action,” Britton said. “But it is up to an individual to weigh
their personal beliefs, and act on the best action for them;
but people want their desires to be in line with their beliefs.”
Huck has to quiet his desires to find his beliefs, then make
a decision on what he thinks is best, Britton said.
“Do what you think is best and do not give in to desires or
temptations,” she said.
Hanlon referred to an essay written by Immanuel Kant
titled,“Religion within Reason Alone” to describe Huck’s
moral dilemma. Kant’s essay says human beings are not
morally correct and work for selfish reasons.
“People do good things only because we want to see good
in ourself, thus an alternative motive drives us,” said
Hanlon.
This interpretation insinuates that Huck made the decision for his own good, placing his importance over Jim’s.
Hardeman believed Huck showed a disturbing amount of
solidarity and can relate to Jim unlike anyone he has ever
met before. Huck, seeing himself in Jim, plays a major role
in Huck’s decision.
“Huck represents poor white trash of the South and he can
relate to Jim,” Hardeman said. “Why should Huck turn Jim
in? For the reward? Probably not.”
Huck sees a friend in Jim, which is why he is faced with

the history aspect of the novel The Adventures of Huck Finn at
the Huck Finn Forum about the moral compass of the novel.
The forum took place Tuesday afternoon in the Booth Library
Conference Room.
such a tough moral decision.
The panel discussed Huck’s moral dilemma, but also
talked about making tough decisions in life, said Amber
Logsdon, a freshman biology major.
“Before the discussion, I didn’t realize that this book
raised such a controversy about people’s choices,” she said.
“I can relate to the dilemma Huck faces between desire and
duty.”
The cause of a power outage that knocked out power
in much of campus Sunday has been traced to the failure of an outdated cable, and Gary Reed, superintendent of utilities, said it is likely to happen again if equipment is not upgraded.
Most of the university’s high-voltage feeder cables
are insulated with lead to keep electrical currents running through the cable instead of going into the ground,
Reed said. The lead-insulated cables have worn and outlived insulated their life expectancy, and crews at facilities planning and management have predicted insulated failure for years, Reed said.
“A power outage of that magnitude is very likely to
happen again,” he said. “It could happen any other time;
we just don’t know when.”
Reed said the university has requested funding to
upgrade the cable system for the past five years. When
the request was first made, Reed expected the project
to cost $4 million, but the price increases with inflation.
Despite the rising cost, the state has chosen not to fund
the university’s request.
Reed said facilities planning and management is
checking to see if they had enough cable on hand to
replace the failed section and hope to replace it over
Thanksgiving break.
“There are no preventative measures that can be
taken to avoid this type of failure,” he said.
“Replacement of the worn-out system is the only solution.”
Reed said power was shut off throughout the entire
South Quad Sunday night to isolate the feeder. The electricians then determined a way to switch around the
failed component and set up a back-feed path through a
different supply feeder. As a result, Lawson Hall is
presently being back-fed from a supply from Taylor
Hall.
Several outages on a similar scale have occurred on
the North Quad, and Reed recorded a total of six in
recent years.
Ameren CIPS had no part in the outage, he said.
Their crews assisted university electricians and
worked on one their transformers affected by the outage.
Faculty senate discuss concern over canceled meeting
By Caitlin Prendergast
ADMINISTRATION EDITOR
Faculty Senate discussed their
feelings about last week’s canceled
Council on University Planning and
Budget meeting at Tuesday’s senate
meeting.
Faculty Senate chair Anne
Zahlan said the cancellation seemed
odd, and there was a lot of gossip
and speculation about why the
meeting did not occur.
The meeting was scheduled for
last Friday, and Zahlan said she did
not receive notice of the cancellation until she e-mailed CUPB chair
Robert Augustine in regards to the
agenda not being posted on the
CUPB Web site. Agendas must be
posted at least 48 hours in advance
to comply with the Illinois Open
Meetings Act.
The CUPB is a body which is
used to rank university priorities
and ask representatives from the
entire campus how to allocate
money to those priorities, said
David Carpenter, professor of
English.
“There was so much
confusion and distrust,
people actually went
over to see if (the
CUPB) was actually
meeting.”
—Ann Zahlan
“CUPB essentially was created to
give faculty maximum input into
establishing budgetary priorities,”
Carpenter said.
Currently, there are 37 voting
members on the CUPB, 11 of which
are faculty.
Zahlan said CUPB was much
originally much smaller, but during
former President David Jorns’
term, the number of council members was expanded, and faculty
became outnumbered.
The cancellation left some facul-
Yo u n g s t o w n
ty members concerned, Zahlan
said.
“There was so much confusion
and distrust, people actually went
over to see if (the CUPB) was actually meeting,” she said.
The CUPB bylaws call for monthly meetings, but Zahlan has not
heard of a make-up date yet. The
next meeting is scheduled for Dec.
13.
The Faculty Senate also heard a
proposal on grade appeal procedures from Ronnie Deedrick, student vice president for academic
affairs.
Deedrick discussed a Student
Senate resolution for which he is
trying to gain support. The Student
Senate has not voted on the resolution yet, but Deedrick said the support is wide.
The resolution calls for the inclusion of students in the grade
appeals process as a voting member and a counsel for the student
who is appealing a grade.
In the grade appeals process, a
student first goes to his or her professor, and if the issue is not
resolved, the student presents the
appeal to the department chair,
Deedrick said.
If the appeal is still not resolved,
Deedrick said the student goes up
before a department grade appeals
committee.
Then, if it’s still not settled, the
student goes before a university
committee that includes the vice
president for academic affairs.
Deedrick’s resolution asks for a
student vote on both the departmental and university level, as well
as the student vice president for
academic affairs or a graduate student to accompany the student in
the “intimidating” process.
“I think it’s important to keep my
seat as well as a graduate student’s for
legal counsel for a student,” Deedrick
said. “A student should have some
semblance of a jury of peers.”
The Faculty Senate responded to
the proposal with mixed feelings,
and members agreed to revisit the
issue later.
A proposed policy on computer
privacy also was introduced to the
Faculty Senate Tuesday by John

Kilgore, professor of English.
Kilgore’s draft resolution asks
for a clearly-stated computer privacy policy that protects employees
from any infiltration of assigned
computers and private communications.
Computer privacy is a major concern of Kilgore’s, and he felt there
was an important need to spell out
privacy policies, especially while on
the university server.
“It just gives me the willies,”
Kilgore said. “No one has any more
right to look at my e-mails than to
come to my house and look in my
mailbox.”
Zahlan said the Faculty Senate
will create a subcommittee on computer privacy to draft a policy.
The subcommittee won’t provide
technical methods for computer
privacy, Zahlan said, but will
instead provide suggestions for
what the faculty would like to see
happen.
Administrative search procedures and the allocation and distribution of resources are future agenda items for the Faculty Senate.

Once again the Athletic Department is looking
for a free handout. This time, to the tune of
$15,000 for tickets to three possible home playoff
games for the football team.
Welcome to the happiest place
on earth.
Walt Disney World has long
been known as a place where children’s dreams come true. A wonderland of fun and happiness
where everything is perfect.
During a recent trip to Orlando,
my friends and I decided to spend
a day in this otherworldly wonderland, and found that this magical
place is nothing near utopia.
First of all, if Disney World
wants to make the claim that it is
“the happiest place on earth,” it
has to stop charging $50 for one
day’s admission and ridiculously
high prices for everything else.
Thirsty? A bottle of water is going
to run you about $3. Hungry? It’s
going to be about $10 for a burger,
fries and a drink.
And if you plan on buying souvenirs for your family and friends,
you might as well forfeit your last
paycheck upon arrival at the park.
But that is not the most disturbing part of visiting the mega
theme park.
For me, it is disturbing to see a
place that is supposed to be centered around family fun, but in
reality is nothing but a hub of commercialism and misplaced values.
You can’t escape the hordes of
cheery employees trying to sell
“If Disney World is the
example of a perfect
place where everyone
would want to live,
then I must be from
outer space.”
you some Disney-related product
no matter where you walk.
Also, as soon as you step off a
ride, you are thrust into a character-themed store selling products
related to the ride you were just
on.
I applaud them for marketing
genius, but give me a break.
If Disney World is the example
of a perfect place where everyone
would want to live, then I must be
from outer space.
Everyone who works there is
insanely, unnaturally happy, and
I’m not buying it. Being there is
like you have been transplanted to
another world where no one is in
touch with reality. No one is happy
all the time, and I think it would
be a little irritating if they were.
The focal point of the Magic
Kingdom is Cinderella’s castle, as
it is supposedly everyone’s dream
to one day get married and live in
a castle. It is this huge, overpowering presence at the park that is
supposed to leave you in awe of
the majesty of fairy tales.
Sorry Disney, but I do not want
to be a princess, I don’t even want
to marry a prince.
As a matter of fact, if I had to
create my own perfect theme
park for people to come visit, it
would be nothing like Disney
World.
The whole place would be air
conditioned, and instead of having
to look at silly princes and
princesses all day, there would be
characters of people who were
actually important to this country,
like Martin Luther King Jr. or
Benjamin Franklin.
Also, all of the gift shops on my
“Main Street” would have interesting books and educational toys,
instead of excessive amounts of
stuffed animals or frilly princess
costumes.
But I guess that is just me. I
think there is only so much phoniness and commercialism that one
person can take in the course of a
day without going into overload.
At Disney World, your perfect
world comes at a price. My
“perfect day” cost about $95.
The Apportionment Board decided last week to
grant the funding, requested through the
University Board on behalf of athletics, to purchase 1,000 tickets for each possible game to be
given away “free” to the first 1,000 students present.
The term “free” tickets is
questionable, as the entire
student body has already
paid for these tickets through
their activity fee. Now 1,000
members of that body can
take advantage of the funds
they have already spent.
Perhaps the biggest question, however, is the way in
which the AB is spending its
funds. Just over a month ago
the AB passed a bylaw
change that eliminates the
requesting of funds from
non-fee funded boards. Now,

Board, the

they have granted $15,000 to
one of the most heavily funded departments on
campus, which is not a student activity fee-funded board.
The Athletic Department receives $61.05 per
semester from each student. Multiplied by
10,000, that is roughly $610,500 each semester in
student fee money. In addition, the department
receives a large portion of the Grant-in-Aid fee.
Overall, the department is one of the best funded
on campus.
And it is asking for $15,000 from a board that
receives a much smaller fee each semester, which
must fund five other boards.
The student activity fee, which is where the AB
receives its funding, is $33.50 per student each
semester. This fee is split up between the AB,
Student Publications and Student Legal Services.
Of AB’s portion of this fee, it must fund the five
fee-funded boards; AB, Student Government,
University Board, Dramatic Players and Sports
and Recreation.
For the AB to allot money to this heavily funded
board that it has no connection to, seems silly.
Other groups on campus, fee funded or not, most
likely could have put that money to use just as
easily.
Perhaps it’s time for athletics to reach into its
own coffers for “free” tickets paid for by student
fees.

Swim team needs more coverage
As a member of the
Eastern women’s swim team,
it saddens me each time I
open up the newspaper to
find virtually nothing on the
events of our past swim
meets. And even if there is
something, it is only three
paragraphs appearing two to
three days later. However, if
we were continually doing
horrible, you would be saving
us the embarrassment that
you often bestow on many
other sports teams in halfpage stories.
Thankfully, that is not the
case for us, yet I must say,
you are missing out on taking
pride in a women’s team that
has gone 3-1 and a men’s
team that has gone 2-1-1. We
even won our own invitational by a long shot with the
women scoring 685 points
and the men scoring 629
points.
Having lost 18 seniors last
year, our team took a considerable blow. Yet our incoming freshmen have helped
replace what was lost, our
sophomores and juniors hold
up consistently, and our seniors have stepped up to the
plate on more than one occasion. As a team, we proudly
display our Eastern apparel
on and off the pool deck. My
hope is that our school newspaper will recognize the
swim team and the great
season it is having very
soon.

Too many students
drive while drunk
Sonor just came out with
its newest survey results, and
I for one am appalled by one
statistic in particular: 66 percent of students have not
driven while under the influence of alcohol. This means
34 percent, a little over one-
third of students, have driven
while under the influence.
That, in my opinion, is ridiculous and just down right stupid on the part of most students. Our society already
tells college student activities
such as underage alcohol
abuse are acceptable, and
this statistic only encourages
those actions.
If our adolescence taught
us one thing, its was “Don’t
drink and drive.” What I don’t
understand is how people can
be stupid enough to put their
lives in danger by driving
under the influence, let alone
putting the lives of innumerable innocent pedestrians in
danger. Anyone who has that
much disregard for human
life sickens me to no end.
Just because you are in col-
lege now doesn’t mean laws
and common decency do not
apply to you.
My suggestion for most of
you is this: Before you get
“wasted” or “trashed”, or
whatever buzz word you use
for your oblivious alcoholism,
you need to think about the
fact that you may kill someone if you get behind the
wheel drunk.
And Sonor, if you are going
to do surveys, you should
probably report the statistics
that make our university look
a little more presentable than
the fact that “over one-third
of our students drink and
drive.”

Students may take
active role in appeals
By John Chambers
Student Government is recommending further student involvement in grade appeals by introducing a resolution in the Student
Senate today, and made a presentation to Faculty Senate about the
proposal Tuesday.
The policy has not been updated
since 1993 and the resolution will be
a step toward a mandatory policy
for student involvement in the
grade appeals process, said Ronnie
Deedrick, student vice president
for academic affairs, during the
Faculty Senate meeting.
“Essentially this is a universitywide policy affecting a departmental issue,” Deedrick said.
Currently, grade conflicts must
be discussed by the student and his
or her instructor.
If no agreement is reached, the
conflict is reviewed by department
chair and the final method for a
solution is left to the Department
Grade
Appeals
Committee,
Deedrick said.
He said in undergraduate cases,
he is notified and in graduate cases,
a representative of the Graduate
Student Advisory Committee is
notified to serve as ex-officio members on the committee.
“There is no way a student is
going to get a trial by jury of their
peers,” Deedrick said. “What a student should have is a semblance of
a jury of their peers and that is what
one student will give them.”
He said Student Government is
suggesting a student not associated
with the department making the
grade appeal serve as a voting
member on the grade appeals committee.
He said his and the chair of
GSAC’s role is to only serve as a
council to the student involved in
the appeal.
Deedrick said a mandatory
change in the university policy
would not be used often because
most grade appeals to not go to the
Department
Grade
Appeals
Committee.
“Usually this is less than 5 percent of the time it even goes this far
... because the (department) chair
feels there’s no merit to this case,”
he said.
A voting member on a grade
appeals committee would give students an opportunity, said Faculty
Senate member Reed Benedict,
sociology and anthropology professor.
“I think it would empower the
student,” Benedict said. “We take it
seriously as faculty. We take it seriously as a university. Having a student vote would give it greater
credibility.”
If the Department Grade
Appeals Committee is unsuccessful
in solving the grade appeals conflict, the “vice president for academic affairs shall consult with the
department chair, dean and anyone
else deemed appropriate, and make
a final determination of appropriate
action,” the university’s grade
appeals policy states.
The recommendation would be
more appealing if it affected this
university involvement in the
process, and not a departmental
inclusion of students, said Faculty
Senate member Mori Toosi, technology professor.
“If it gets to a grade appeal at the
university level, I’m for it,” Toosi
said. “I suggest to Student Senate to
form anew a stronger appeal at the
university level. I would suggest we
wait for Student Senate to make any
changes they want (to the resolution).”
Faculty Senate plans to continue
discussion on grade appeals after
the Student Senate votes on the resolution at its Wednesday meeting.
City reaches agreement
solving reception woes
By Maura Possley
CITY EDITOR
Heated negotiations over a cable
contract between the city and
Mediacom ended in agreement at
Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
The negotiations concerned the
15-year length of the contract with
Mediacom, which was disputed
down to an agreement of 10 years
with an automatic five-year extension if the city does not have complaints at the seven-year mark,
when the contract will be renegotiated.
Council members Marge Knoop
and Larry Rennels said Tuesday
they had received numerous complaints that the contract was too
long. In addition, other council
members voiced concern over the
length of the contract because of
recent poor television reception.
“I haven’t watched a race in
months that hasn’t been off and
on,” said council member John
Winnett.
Concurring, Mayor Dan Cougill
and Rennels wanted to know when
the “hum bar” would go away. The
“hum bar,” Cougill said, is the horizontal line that runs horizontally on
the screen.
In response, a Mediacom representative said those problems
would be fixed as soon as an agreement with the city was reached.
Now that the council and
Mediacom decided on the 10-year
contract, the reception problems
are set to be fixed Dec. 18.
The contract states that
Mediacom is the city’s cable
provider for the next 10 years and,
following state law, in seven years
the contract must be renegotiated.
If in that seventh year the city is
not happy with the cable service,
they will not have to abide by the
automatic five year extension
agreed to.
In addition, nowhere in the
agreement does it mandate the city
must keep to the agreed-upon contract until the seventh year if they
are unhappy.
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, a historic preservation ordinance was
presented. Nora Pat Small detailed
information about the ordinance
that is designed to attract business
as well as retain it through preserving the historical buildings
and look that Charleston has.
One of the ways to stimulate economic development in Charleston,
Small said, is through historic
preservation. It creates jobs, leads
to more tourism and business and
enhances the overall quality of life
in the city. Small’s presentation
was an informational for the city
and nothing has been voted on.
In addition, at the meeting the
council approved an allocation of
$850 in tourism funds to put up a
billboard on Route 16 coming into
town from Mattoon advertising the
Square and the stores it offers. The
decision was made to aid economic
development for the city.
The council is also allocating $2,
422 in tourism funds to the Lincoln
Log Cabin Historic Site for promotion and more than $4,000 in
tourism funds will be expended for
three marketing projects. The
projects include brochures for
stops on Interstate 57, the regional
tourism office, the Discover
Central Illinois Magazine and for
the 2003 Charleston tourism guide.
Also proclaimed Tuesday is that
December is the month of Drunk
and Drugged Driving Prevention
Month. The tentative date to kick
the month off is Nov. 25, and
throughout the month red ribbons
will be distributed by the police
department and other city departments.

Maps vital in finding healthy water despite expenses
By Matt Pollett
Richard C. Berg lectured Tuesday night about the importance of 3D geography maps because they can help locate unstable land which
may have contaminated water.
Berg, in front of an audience of about 50 people, spoke of the
importance of the 3-D maps. He said these maps are most used by
health departments because they can affect people’s health if they
are exposed to the hazardous water; but health departments are not
the only ones that benefit from these maps.
Berg said land and water coordinators use the maps to determine
where the potentially dangerous underground water is.
The underground maps show where it is safe to put big industries
and cities and also show the depths at which the water rests.
From that information it can be determined to what extent the
chance of contamination from pollutants would be. Berg said
Kentucky is the only state to be fully mapped and was done between
1961 and 1978.
“These mappings were done to try and find coal deposits and were
mainly used to find the underground water,” he said.
The project of mapping Kentucky cost $16 million in 1960, which
in 1999 would have cost $90 million.
“It is very expensive, but more expensive to not have it,” Berg said
referring to the potential cost of replacing an industry or city that is
placed on top of contaminated land.
Berg said he thought his message was effectively communicated to
the audience and summed up his presentation.
“Resource information is important in addressing critical environmental and water issues,” he said.
Berg said there is a shortage of students in the field of geography.
“I encourage students to learn this stuff as well as they can and the
only place they will get trained is in their geography departments,”
he said.
Richard Berg, the director of the geological mapping program for the Illinois State Geological Survey, spoke to an
audience about the uses of resources in America as part of Geographical Awareness Week which started in 1987.

House rejects Ryan’s attempt to
add death penalty to terrorism bill
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — The
Illinois House has rejected the
governor’s attempt to link death
penalty reforms to legislation
aimed at fighting terrorism.
The
House
voted
84-30
Tuesday to reject Gov. George
Ryan’s amendatory veto. If the
state Senate overrides the veto,
the original bill becomes law. If
not, the bill dies.
But the governor and lawmakers are negotiating a separate
bill to enact some of the
improvements Ryan wants to see
in the state’s death penalty system. That could come up for a
vote this fall.
The terrorism legislation
started out as Attorney General
Jim Ryan’s response to the Sept.
11 attacks.
It would give police more
power to obtain search warrants
and bug telephones to investigate suspected terrorists. It
would make it a felony to take a
firearm on an airplane and let
the attorney general freeze terrorists’ assets.
The measure also expanded
the death penalty to apply specifically to terrorist killings.
Annoyed
that
lawmakers
would expand the death penalty
before considering his proposed
changes, Gov. Ryan used his veto
power to rewrite the terrorism
bill.
His changes included having
the state Supreme Court meticulously review each death penalty
case, barring executions of the
mentally retarded and videotaping murder interrogations.
Rep. Tom Johnson, House
sponsor of the terrorism bill,
praised Ryan’s death penalty
University Theatre
proposals but said they should
not be linked to the terrorism
bill.
“It’s my opinion that these
issues being linked are improper,
would probably make the bill
unconstitutional and need to be
dealt with in a separate bill,” said
the West Chicago Republican.
Ryan’s changes were just some
of the 85 recommendations from
a commission he appointed after
13 people on Illinois’ death row
were found to have been wrongly
convicted.
A Senate committee has been
reviewing those recommendations and may propose legislation during the fall veto session.
“They certainly ought to look
at the proposal we put out,” Ryan
said. “There’s an opportunity to
clean the system up and make it
better.”

audition for roles in
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — One million or more Illinois children need
activities to keep them out of trouble after school, a study released
Tuesday contends.
The Illinois After-school Initiative, a task force created by the
General Assembly last year, recommended a massive network of programs statewide that call on state agencies to coordinate activities
and call on local communities to seek private funding.
Studies have shown unsupervised children in idle, after-school
hours are more likely to have sex, take drugs, fall victim to crime, or
be truant or depressed, state Secretary for Human Services Linda
Renee Baker said. She and state schools Superintendent Robert
Schiller led the study.
“Schools can affect children’s lives on the margin during the time
that children are with us in our schools,” Schiller said. “We need to
look at ways in which we expand those opportunities for children to
be connected with our schools and our communities.”
The task force did not estimate the cost of its recommendations.
But member Debbie Bretag of the Illinois Violence Prevention
Council said nationally, the average annual cost is $3,000 per child.
Of 2 million school-age children in Illinois, 1.6 million do not participate in out-of-school activities, and 1.4 million children live in
homes where a single parent or both parents work, the study said.
The study recommends that state agencies coordinate their various programs for children, set up a system for disseminating workable ideas, and pay for coordinators to put together local programs.
It suggests expanded state and federal funding, but calls on the
state and local communities to find private support also, from foundation grants to in-kind services from local businesses.

Jordan’s ex-girlfriend requests $5 million
◆ Athlete already paid
woman $250,000 for
‘pain and suffering’
CHICAGO (AP) — The woman
accused of extortion by basketball
star Michael Jordan filed a counterclaim Tuesday saying he
offered her $5 million to keep
quiet about their relationship.
Karla Knafel asked the court to
force Jordan to pay her the money
because he was in breach of contract.
Jordan filed a lawsuit in Cook
County Circuit Court in October,
claiming he had a relationship
with Knafel more than 10 years
ago, when he played for the
Chicago Bulls. He said he paid her
$250,000 “under threat of publicly
exposing that relationship.”
Jordan’s lawsuit said Knafel
tried to extort another $5 million.
In a response filed Tuesday,
Knafel’s lawyer said, “It was
Jordan who initially offered to
pay her $5 million in the spring of
1991 for her agreement not to file
a public paternity proceeding and
for keeping their sexual relationship publicly confidential.”
Knafel claims the $250,000 payment was for “pain and suffering,” not for silence. Her counterclaim says Jordan agreed to pay
the $5 million after his retirement.
Jordan retired twice in the
1990s but now plays for the
Washington Wizards.
Knafel’s
lawyer,
Michael
Hannafan, said Knafel and Jordan
had a sexual relationship from
1989 to 1991 in Chicago,
Indianapolis and Phoenix. Knafel
discovered she was pregnant
shortly after being with Jordan in
November 1990, Hannafan said.
At that time, she believed the
child was Jordan’s, he said.
Jordan then offered her $5 million to buy her silence about their
relationship and about the child
she thought was his, said
Hannafan. He said that Knafel no
longer claims the child is Jordan’s.
“I will tell you that the alleged
claim of extortion by Michael
Jordan and his lawyers is nothing
but baloney,” Hannafan added.
But
Jordan’s
attorney,
Frederick Sperling, said Tuesday
that Knafel’s claims were false.
“Michael Jordan has authorized

Travelers praise new screeners,
but still worry about security
(AP) Henrietta Oetken sat nearby as a short line of
passengers waited at McCarran International
Airport in Las Vegas for their luggage to emerge
from a truck-sized X-ray explosive detection screener.
“It looks like they’re taking care of things,” the 78year-old said.
Oetken was traveling on the day the government
met its deadline to have more than 47,000 airport
security workers in place at 424 airports nationwide.
The Transportation Security Administration
employees replace a private work force that was
often criticized as inefficient, inattentive and poorly
trained.
The screeners have been phased in at various airports for the last few months.
Congress also set a year-end deadline to screen all
checked passenger baggage for explosives.
Oetken was traveling home to Arizona with her
daughter, Melody Bean, 38, a flight attendant who
said passengers sometimes now point out stray bags.
She said she feels safer with federal screeners in
place.
“I think it’s a lot better now, although they have
slip-ups now and then,” said Bean, who lives in
Evans, Colo.
Darlene Ruffin-Alexander of Atlanta praised the
federal screeners: “It seems that they are a little
more efficient and certainly more customer-friendly. They are more attentive and not as playful as
they have been in the past.”
Ruffin-Alexander spoke at Hartsfield Atlanta
International Airport, where lines at security checkpoints were short.
At her destination, Boston’s Logan International
Airport, Jeff Nutting of Dennisport, Mass., was
headed to Thailand. He said he hoped the security
trainers were now better trained, but that in any

are full of lies,” Sperling said.
“Any allegation that Michael
Jordan is the father of any of
Karla Knafel’s children is completely untrue.”
Knafel’s counterclaim alleges
she met Jordan after being introduced over the phone by an NBA
referee who was in Indianapolis
for a Bulls game against the
Indiana Pacers. It claims she was
singing at an Indianapolis hotel
when the referee complimented
her and they began talking about
basketball. Later the referee
called Jordan’s hotel room and
Jordan talked to Knafel, according the counterclaim.
Knafel claims she declined an
invitation to meet Jordan the next
day because she had a headache,
but that he continued calling her
and eventually seduced her at a
Chicago hotel in December 1989.
Jordan had married his wife,
Juanita, that September. She
claims Jordan told her his marriage was a “business arrangement” meant to help his public
image.
Jordan has asked the court for
an injunction barring further
extortion efforts and a declaration
that Knafel’s demand is unenforceable because of her “existing
obligation not to publicly expose
the relationship.”
Juanita Jordan filed for divorce
last January but later withdrew
the case and issued a joint statement with her husband saying
they were attempting reconciliation.

University offers to extend school spirit after death
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - For fans whose
enthusiasm for the home team refuses to
die, even after they do, the University of
Missouri-Columbia has the solution.
Those looking to extend school spirit
beyond the grave can now purchase an officially licensed Missouri coffin.
Linda Gilbert, program director for
licensing at Missouri, said the university has
licensed Collegiate Memorials of Macon,
Ga., to produce the coffins.
Available in various woods and metal, the
coffins feature the Missouri insignia sewn
into the velvet interior and cost from $1,590
to $2,390.
Collegiate Memorials President Scott
Walston said no Missouri coffins have been
sold. But Walston said the company is not yet
marketing in Missouri.
“We’re getting ready to,” Walston said.
“Missouri approved us in November of 2001,
White Light, said the company sells about 50
collegiate coffins annually but doesn’t now
offer a Missouri version.
In addition, Gilbert said, she has heard of
even more spirited funeral products.
“I have heard some schools have caskets
that can play the fight song,” she said.
Missouri only licenses Collegiate
Memorials’ version, and Walston said his
company’s designs are “very traditional.”
“We don’t do anything outlandish,” he
said.
In addition to coffins, the company also
makes cremation urns, which feature such
model names as “The Glory,” “The Legacy,”
and “The Victory.” So far, Missouri has only
contracted for coffins, Walston said.
He also challenged those who might view
college-themed funeral products as bizarre
or in bad taste.
“Some people want to give a negative con-
and it takes about a year or two to get set up
with a distributor.”
However, he said Missouri coffins can be
bought
directly
through
Collegiate
Memorials.
The company pays a royalty of 7.5 percent
to the university, according to Walston. This
means the university will make between
$120 and $180 on each casket sold, depending on the model.
Missouri is also charging the company a
$250 annual licensing fee.
“It’s one more way to support your
school,” Walston said.
Collegiate Memorials is not alone in producing college-themed coffins.
The Texas-based company White Light
makes what it calls “art caskets,” which feature elaborate designs painted on the exterior.

alert, mobilization notice
Jackson hung child off balcony
BERLIN (AP) - Michael Jackson made an
appearance outside his Berlin hotel and
briefly held his youngest child over a
fourth-floor balcony Tuesday in front of
dozens of fans waiting below.
The boy, his legs kicking, had what
appeared to be a white cloth over his head as
Jackson, holding the child with one arm
around his waist, held him out over the iron
rail of the balcony of the luxurious Adlon
Hotel.
The child, wearing a baby blue jumper, is
the reclusive singer’s third and youngest,
Prince Michael II, said Antje Sigesmund, a
spokeswoman for the Bambi entertainment
award ceremony, which Jackson is attending in Berlin.
Several scenes of Jackson’s visit to the
German capital — including the display of
his son — were featured on national primetime German news, a sign of the King of
Pop’s enduring popularity in Europe.
The Chicago-based advocacy group
Prevent Child Abuse America criticized
Jackson’s behavior, though it said the boy
did not appear to be harmed.
“It is a painful reminder that even the
most well-intentioned among us sometimes
act in ways that put children in danger of
being abused or neglected,” said A. Sidney

notation to it, but our customers don’t see it
that way,” Walston said. “It’s not about
sports, it’s not about male or female. It’s
about people taking pride in their education,
and recognizing it helped them achieve in
life.”
Collegiate Memorials sold its first coffin
to University of Nebraska in May 2001.
While the company now sells to more than 40
schools across the country, Walston said
Nebraska remains his biggest market.
“We’ve sold about 50 caskets (to them) in
the last 12 months,” he said.
As far as who actually does the buying,
Walston said relatives of alumni are the
largest single group.
“The majority of sales are children buying
it for their parents,” he said.
And do the children discuss it with mom
or dad beforehand?
“Not really,” Walston said.
Johnson, president and CEO of the group.
There was no immediate comment from
any representatives for Jackson.
Fans had gathered outside the hotel, just
opposite Berlin’s landmark Brandenburg
Gate, and security had to remove some from
the lobby. Several carried banners, including one that said “Save the Kids,” with drawings of children’s faces, a reference to
Jackson’s philanthropy.
Another said “Really good to see you.”
Jackson, wearing a bright red shirt,
smiled and waved to the fans, then tossed a
small white towel to the crowd below. The
singer then went inside and retrieved the
toddler, using one arm to hold the boy, who
kicked his legs, out over the balcony rail.
Fans cheered as the pop star appeared
with the child, but Jackson quickly retreated into his hotel room without making any
statement.
Little is known about Prince Michael II.
People Magazine reported in August that he
was six months old. The magazine, citing an
anonymous friend, said the boy was not
adopted and did not identify the mother.
The singer also has two children with exwife Debbie Rowe: a 5-year-old boy — also
named Prince Michael — and a 4-year-old
girl, Paris. The couple divorced in 1999.
WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard
and Reserve members whose special skills
would be needed in a war with Iraq might
get advance notice of possible mobilization,
even though President Bush has not yet
decided whether to use military force, a
senior Pentagon official said Tuesday.
Reservists would like some warning so
they can make arrangements with employers and family members, even if the call to
active duty never comes, said Thomas Hall,
the assistant secretary of defense for
reserve affairs. But there are concerns
about such a plan, he said.
“If you elect to do that, then are you giving potential enemies and others advance
information of what you’re going to do? Are
you also unnecessarily alerting people that
they might be mobilized, ... and then it turns
out they aren’t called up?”
Still, Hall said, “It’s something we are
looking at.”
Currently, 51,358 reservists are on active
duty, most assigned to positions in the
United States in the aftermath of the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks. That number peaked in
late July above 85,000. If the United States
goes to war in Iraq, Pentagon officials
expect to need at least 100,000 more and possibly twice that.
Although Hall said the Pentagon has no
list of reserve units likely to be called up,
war in Iraq would demand a wide variety of
reserve specialists, including linguists, special operations forces, military police and
other security forces, pilots and logisticians.
Under the partial mobilization that
President Bush authorized after the Sept. 11
attacks, as many as 1 million of the military’s 1.3 million reservists could be called
to active duty for as long as two years. The
number who have served on active duty
since then is about 130,000, according to Lt.
Col. Dan Stoneking, a Pentagon reserve
affairs spokesman.
Hall said he would like to give reservists
as much notice as possible so they can make
necessary personal arrangements.
He said they normally should have about
30 days to report for active duty, once given
a mobilization order. But he did not rule out
that there could be some no-notice call-ups
if war comes.

Freshmen frustrations
Panthers ready for
Eastern Michigan
◆ Young Panthers squad struggles after winning OVC Tournament title last year
By Nate Bloomquist
SPORTS EDITOR
Youth wasn’t served for the Panther volleyball team
this season.
Eastern traded exuberance for mistakes in the
team’s 9-21 (4-12 in the Ohio Valley Conference) season. The Panthers stumbled through a midseason 12game losing streak, but recovered to win three of their
last five games.
The last-season push wasn’t enough to put Eastern in
the conference tournament, the first time the Panthers
didn’t play in the tournament since 1995.
“We were within a couple of points in a lot of matches,” Panther head coach Brenda Winkeler said after
wrapping up her third year at the helm Friday. “When
you have more seasoned veterans, they know how to
step it up and win ball games.”
So this year’s younger freshmen and sophomores
will make for next year’s team leaders. At least that’s
Winkeler’s conventional wisdom.
The stats are on her side.
Freshman outside hitter Megan Kennedy broke a
freshman block record that had been intact since 1994.
Freshman Sarah Niedospial fell eight digs short of
breaking a freshman record in that category, which
she would’ve broke had she not suffered a concussion
at midseason. Sophomore Shanna Ruxer is in the top 10
in single-game kills.
“As a freshman you’re just trying to survive,”
Winkeler said. “They definitely did better than that.”
The Panthers had the exact inverse of their record
this season after a 21-9, NCAA Tournament berth season. But Eastern lost its core of six seniors from that
squad, five of which were starters.
The Panthers stand to lose only three seniors this
season: Karen Liss, who is on Eastern’s all-time dig list
and Jennifer Fisher, who showed a formidable offensive threat after seeing little playing time last year.
Senior outside hitter Carrie Stevens played in the
season’s final month after she was deemed to have a
half year of eligibility left due to a rule change this season. Stevens was a volunteer assistant coach for the
first part of the season.
“When you’re coming back after being an assistant
volunteer coach to becoming a player it’s quite of a
transition,” Winkeler said. “She didn’t want to go in and
be a task leader on the court, you don’t know how people are going to take to her trying to do that.”
Stevens often struggled to simply keep her error
total lower than kills a year after she earned OVC
Tournament MVP honors and averaged 2.19 kills per
game. She averaged 1.23 kills in 31 games and struggled to a .135 attack percentage. Sophomore Erica
Gerth led the team in kills with 3.33 per game. Liss
averaged 2.93.
But Winkeler is about ready to bring in the reinforcements. One recruit was signed last week to shore
up the middle hitter spot.
Kara Sorenson an outside hitter who played club ball
in Avon, Ind. and at 6-foot-2, is comparable to Ruxer.
“She’ll be the biggest kid we have next year,”
Winkeler said. “Her game is a lot like Shanna’s, but
Kara is more physical.”
Winkeler said the incoming recruiting class will also
add depth to both the left and right hitter spots. She
believes the additions will put the Panthers back in the
top three in the league.
“When you look around the league, you’ll see that
Tennessee-Martin (22-5, 15-1) will lose six seniors this
year, SEMO (20-11, 13-3) will lose four,” Winkeler said.
“So they’ll be where we were this year. I’ve heard
Florida State’s coach talk about why they’re good every
year. A lot of that is timing.”
The timing of introducing the libero position, or
defensive specialist, came was near perfect for the
Panthers.
Niedospial and classmate Heather Redenbo thrived
at the new position. Niedospial was second to Gerth on
the team in digs with 350, but averaged 3.5 per game —
a team high.
“I really liked the libero — we may need to move
toward making that a libero of the year in the OVC,”
Winkeler said. “I think it generated questions, like
people in the crowd simply wondered ‘why is she
wearing a different jersey than everyone else.’
Anytime you can create conversation about your
sport, it’s a good thing.”

The Eastern wrestling squad
will look to get revenge from last
season’s heartbreaking road trip
in its home opener Wednesday
night against the Eagles of
Eastern Michigan.
The Eagles defeated the
Panthers 18-16 last season in
Ypsilanti, Mich., and some
Eastern wrestlers had incredibly
close matches.
Head
coach
Ralph
McCausland is confident in his
ten-man squad.
“If they wrestle to their ability
we will win,” McCausland said.
Experienced wrestlers like
senior Frank DeFilippis, junior
Pat Dowty and sophomore Andy
Coyle remember the matches
they had last year.
“It seemed like every match
was close and therefore if we
can get some pins that will be
key,” McCausland said.
Every wrestler has experience competing during the 2001
season but some will scale in at
different weights Wednesday
night.
Junior Clay French will wrestle 17 pounds heavier than last
season when he competes at the
174-pound level against the
Eagles red-shirt sophomore
Eddie Magrys.
Coyle will look to carry more
momentum from his third-place
finish at the EMU Open when he
takes on freshman Marcus
Williams:
Top Cat:
Let’s start with the women’s
soccer team’s run to the NCAA
Tournament. The shootout win
over Southeast Missouri and then
the heart-breaking loss to Purdue
in the same fashion in the first
round. I cannot think of any other
games that I would have wanted
to see more than those two.
Sticking with soccer, even
though the men’s team lost to
Creighton 6-0 in the first round of
the Missouri Valley Conference, I
still would have liked to see it.
Nobody expected them to be
there so it would have been inter-
esting to watch.
I can only hope that with all the
exciting college sports action that
I have seen this year, I can see a
little more before the year is
over.
What am I thinking? We have
that Henry Domercant guy.
She beat out Groene this year as
Goehler sat out with the same
injury. The type of competition
proved to be beneficial for
Dechert.
“Within the team, it is very competitive at goalkeeping,” Ballard
said. “It just makes all of them bet-

Gordon.
“Andy won at 157 points last
year against them so he’s ready
to go,” McCausland said.
Dowty is probable to compete
at 133 pounds but McCausland
could go with fellow junior Mike
Stanley against red-shirt junior
and two-time letterman Zac
Pyles.
Dowty defeated Pyles 6-4 last
season which gave the Panthers
a 2-0 lead in the match.
“I’m looking for guys to feed
off each other Wednesday
night,” McCausland said.
Senior Frank DeFilippis will
look for his experience to rule
when he steps into the circle
with incoming freshman Chad
Roush.
“These kind of matches are
why there is a difference
between major and minor decisions,” McCausland said.
The most compelling story of
the dual-match will be Panther
fans’ first look at Iowa State
transfer Matt Veach, who will
wrestle at 165 pounds against
the Eagles’ junior college transfer J.J. Holmes from Texas.
Expectations are that Veach
will be a solid start at 165 pounds
for the next two seasons.
The most competitive match
of the evening may be the
heavyweight match, where
sophomore Pete Ziminiski wrestles senior letterman Dane
Bonningson. Ziminiski won his
match against the Eagles last
year by an 11-2 decision.
ter, and it has made Lindsay better.”
With a strong group of returning
players, Dechert expects the
Panthers to be right back in the
tournament next year, but has
hopes of advancing past the first
round before her career at Eastern
ends.

Future holds high hopes following strong finish
◆ Newcomers lay foundation for future
By Matthew Stevens
Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 1998,
Eastern Illinois women’s soccer continues to improve
each season.
In the 2002 campaign, the defending OVC
Tournament champions began the season with a disappointing 2-5-1 record, including a 12-day stretch in
November which they lost 4 of 5 games.
“The beginning was frustrating because we had to
teach the freshmen,” junior midfielder Beth Liesen
said.
However, after suffering a heartbreaking loss to
NCAA Women’s College Cup qualifier University of
Denver, the Panthers went on a massive winning
streak that included a 8-2-1 record to end the season.
“We finally found our groove and everything came
together for us,” Liesen said.
The big surprise that stepped up late in the season
was the young starters on the defensive side including
Lee Ann Langsfeld and Lindsey Holcomb, both of
which started in 90 percent of the games together.
These newcomers had a big impact in the seven
shutouts that Eastern was able to produce.
“They learned a lot this year and got a bunch or
experience,” Liesen said.
Liesen was not the only one to appreciate the newcomers’ efforts.
“They didn’t seem like they were freshmen by how
they came in with so much confidence,” sophomore
forward Audra Frericks said.
The Panthers rode that wave of momentum into
Cape Girardeau, Mo., where they had to win the OVC
Tournament for the second time at Southeast
Missouri’s home turf.
“I think that this year’s accomplishment was more
exciting because it was still unexpected,” Frericks
said.
Eastern met their rival SEMO in the OVC championship game and defeated the Otahkians in penalty
kicks to reach a preseason goal of back-to-back OVC
Tournament championships.
“It was an unbelievable and amazing feeling to win
the OVC (Tournament) for the last two years of my
career,” junior midfielder Rebecca Traen said.
The Panthers’ return trip to the first round of the
NCAA Women’s College Cup in South Bend, Ind. was
“I think that they can only
improve.”
—Senior Rebecca Traen
successful in the sense that they took the No. 14
ranked Purdue Boilermakers to penalty kicks and had
a 1-0 lead for nearly two minutes.
“Coach called it a great disappointment because it
was currently the best experiences that I had at
Eastern,” Liesen said.
Eastern had six Panthers receive OVC honors,
including senior Cara LeMaster, junior Beth Liesen
and sophomore Audra Frericks earning first team
recognition.
“We really bonded as a group because everyone on
this team was my friend,” Traen said.
Even though three starters played their final game
in South Bend, the Panthers will expect nothing more
than to improve on their (11-7-4) record and firstround exit in 2003.
“I think that they can only improve because the success we had has to help recruiting,” Traen said.
“We are going to miss their strong leadership roles
but I’m really looking forward to next season,”
Frericks said.
Head coach Steve Ballard made it very clear that
the 2003 team will improve where this year’s team left
off.
“We are so deep that I think we will get one next
year,” Ballard said.
Keep something in mind for next season – Beth
Liesen is 22 points away from Eastern’s all-time scoring record set by another Beth – Beth Aussin (122
from 1995-98).
Liesen is also two goals away from that career
record.
If she can achieve these honors, it will add to her
case as Eastern’s best women’s soccer player ever.
“It’s really weird to think that I will be a senior next
year, but I’m excited to play next season,” Liesen said.
It seems like an eternity since Steve Ballard created a women’s soccer program in 1995. Now, the
Panther’ head coach has created a monster in the OVC
that keeps growing every year.
“It’s going to a be a really fun year next season,”
Frericks said.
S T E P H E N H A A S / S TA F F P H O T O G R A P H E R
Sophomore Rachel Dorfman will return to Eastern’s lineup next year as
they set their sights on a third connsecutive OVC Tournament
Championship. Dorfman started in all 22 of the Panthers games this year
and had five assists.

Panthers gear up for Gators
Matt Williams
By Matthew Stevens
Giving
thanks to the
fall sports
In the spirit of Thanksgiving
I believe that it is necessary to
hand out a few awards a la
John Madden style. I have had
the opportunity of seeing some
great performances already
this year — both individual and
team. Who wants a turkey leg?
Being a big soccer fan, this
first one was an amazing sight
for me. Watching junior forward Jason Thompson net six
goals against Illinois-Chicago
left me speechless.
Every time he touched the
ball, he put in the back of the
net. I began to feel sorry for
the UIC Flames goalkeeper
because he never even had a
chance at stopping any of
Thompson’s shots. Lucky for
him, Eastern head coach Adam
Howarth took Thompson out of
the game before he could do
any more damage.
Next up, who could forget
the thrilling finish at O’Brien
Stadium on homecoming weekend? I thought it was possible
for senior quarterback to make
a last-second comeback against
Eastern Kentucky, but never
with his legs.
Romo almost gave me a
heart attack as he took the
snap and rolled out toward the
end zone. His eight-yard dash
to give the Panthers a 25-24
victory as time ran out seemed
to last an eternity, but left
Eastern fans jumping for joy.
The next game was possibly
the best team performance I
have seen this year. The men’s
soccer team’s 0-0 tie against the
then No. 10 Bradley Braves was
a big accomplishment for them.
The only thing wrong with
the tie was that the Panthers
controlled the majority of the
game. Either way you look at
it, it was a huge step for an
improving soccer program.
Records were made to be
broken and senior tailback J.R.
Taylor did just that in
Saturday’s mauling over
Florida Atlantic.
Taylor’s 308 yards rushing
and four-touchdown day
against the Owls gave him both
the single-game record for
rushing yards and the career
touchdown record (50) at
Eastern. Taylor’s day was
incredible, but his offensive
line can share a little portion of
that turkey.
Interim President Lou
Hencken deserves a heaping
helping. No, Hencken did not
throw any touchdown passes or
record 40 kills in a volleyball
match. He welcomed me into
his home to join the women’s
soccer team for the selection
show for the NCAA tournament— something I was glad
to be a part of.
My last two both go to the
volleyball team. I was fortunate enough to see them string
together two solid matches
which were also the only two I
saw all season. Since I cannot
be everywhere, there are a few
games that I would like to recognize that I was not able to
see.

The Panthers men’s basketball ruined Boise
State head coach Greg Graham’s debut in front
of the the Idaho faithful in BSU Pavilion.
Eastern head coach Rick Samuels may have
had a lot of his preseason questions answered
Monday evening by a pair of seniors.
Craig Lewis had an effective game in his
first start at the point guard position and J.R.
Reynolds provided 18 points in that secondary
scorer role the Panthers desperately need.
“J.R. showed that he can be an effective scorer at some point,” Samuels said.
Henry Domercant was four points away
from tying his career high of 40 points by scoring 22 of his 36 in the second half.
“Henry earned his baskets by taking avantage of his shot attempts,” head coach Rick
Samuels said.
Samuels hinted he would prefer forward
Jesse Mackinson have more than the six shot
attempts he put up against the Broncos’
defense.
“We are going to give Jesse more opportunities to shoot because he’s an important part of
our offense,” Samuels said.
The Panthers shot 49 percent from the field
and 47 percent from beyond the three-point arc
against a relatively defensive Broncos team.
“We did show good patience on offense but
we’d like to be able to have more post-up opportunities for our big people,” Samuels said.
The one negative from a 14-point win could
be that the Panthers were only able to step to
the free-throw line eight times, converting on
six tries.
“Obviously we’d like to do that more but if
we keep hitting our shots, it will open up
opportunities for dribble penetration,”
Samuels said.
The Panthers will look to pull off the
biggest upset in the month of November
when they attempt to knock off the seventhranked Florida Gators in Gainesville
Thursday night.
TOP
S T E P H E N H A A S / S TA F F P H O T O G R A P H E R
Senior guard Henry Domercant led the Panthers to a 73-59 win over Boise State with 36 points, four
short of tying his career high. Domercant and the Panthers take on Florida tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.
Florida was able to brush off a undermatched Louisiana Tech team for a easy 76-55
first-round victory behind 26 points from
freshman forward Matt Walsh.
Samuels has one thing he hopes Panther fans
will think about before Thursday night.
“Just think about what would happen if we
would upset Florida,” Samuels said.
If Samuels and the Panthers can pull that off,
it’s a safe bet Charleston would explode.

“That was certainly one of the finest goalkeeping performances anyone has had at Eastern” coach Steve Ballard
Getting stuck in the net
◆ Sophomore goalkeeper Lindsay Dechert turns heads with career-high 13 saves in NCAA Women’s College Cup
By Matt Williams
(Editor’s note: Top Cat is a weekly
series taking an in-depth look at
Eastern’s top athlete from the previous week. Winners can be selected
only once each year. Selection is
made by the Daily Eastern News
sports staff).
Sophomore goalkeeper Lindsay Dechert’s performance in the NCAA
College Women’s Cup helped the Panthers nearly defeat No. 14
Purdue.
Being a goalkeeper is not always
the most rewarding position to play in
soccer. Great saves are usually forgotten while one mistake can stick
with them forever.
“It is a very demanding position,”
Eastern women’s head coach Steve
Ballard said. “They have to have a
strong personality and a hard shell.
They are never going to be credited
with winning the game, but if they
make a mistake it’s put on them.”
Sophomore goalkeeper Lindsay
Dechert has met the demands Ballard
has set for her and in Friday’s NCAA
first round game against Purdue she
exceeded them. Dechert made a
career-high 13 saves off of 35
Boilermaker shots to help give her
team a chance at winning it’s first
ever NCAA tournament game.
“That was certainly one of the
finest goalkeeping performances anyone has had at Eastern,” Ballard said.
“She made several outstanding
saves.”
The Panthers eventually fell to
Purdue 3-1 in penalty kicks, but
Dechert’s performance didn’t go
unnoticed. She is this week’s Top Cat.
This was not the first time during
the season where Dechert had
stepped up when her team needed
her. Just one week earlier in the Ohio
Valley Conference Tournament
championship
game
against
Southeast Missouri, Dechert made
two saves in penalty kicks to put
Eastern in the national tournament
for the second straight year.
Dechert said the pressure to make
saves in penalty kicks didn’t get to
her.
“The shooters have more pressure
on them because they are expected to
make it,” Dechert said. “I mostly just
try to react on where they kick it. I
don’t really have a strategy.”
Goalkeepers are looked at a little
differently than the other players on
the field.
“We are sort of thought as being
crazy for (playing goal),” Dechert
said.
Dechert was put into the position at
a young age and never really got out
of it.
“My dad used to coach soccer and
he forced me to play goalie,” she said.
“Growing up (other coaches) knew
that I had played goalie so I sort of got
stuck there.”
Dechert came to Eastern last year
along with sophomores Lynne
Goehler and Tiffany Groene in hopes
of earning the starting role. Dechert
won the job over Goehler last year
while Groene red-shirted with an ACL
injury.
