Several faculty members whoseoffices are still inside BuzzardBuilding say they are concernedabout the health of faculty andstudents because of the ongoingrenovation process.
Joe Heumann, a speech com-munications professor, said he andseveral other faculty members areconcerned about a lack of cleanrunning water and excess dust,smoke and other fumes from theconstruction process.
“(Wednesday) it was concretedust from cutting out walls to put ina new door, (Thursday) it wassmoke from construction from thegym side,” Heumann said, addingsome staff and students have alsocomplained about restricted breath-ing.
Heumann said the biggestconcern has been the possiblehealth hazards during the reno-vation.
“There seem to be directproblems to people’s health thatthey have not yet been informedabout,” Heumann said. “Thisconstruction has just started andpeople are just starting to becomeaware of where the problems are.”
John Stafford, broadcast engineerfor WEIU-TV and WEIU-FM, alsosaid he can feel the effects of thedemolition process.
“The fumes gave me a headacheas well as other people, and the dustgot into expensive equipment,”Stafford said. “They didn’t useproper methods of filtering it whenthey cut the wall out.”
According to Heumann, severalof the faculty members said theyare considering going to theuniversity to file grievances.
“There may be a slew ofgrievances being initiated by thecivil service staff,” Heumann said.
“Several of the staff have alreadygone to the union and are going tosee how the union stands on this,”Stafford said, adding he wants toget the union’s opinion beforedeciding whether or not to file anygrievances.

Chris Boyster will never forget the federalgovernment shutdown – it doubled hisworkload.
Boyster, asenior pol-itical scienceand jour-nalism major,was an internat the White
House when President Clinton announced theshutdown.
“I got a phone call at nine the next morningand little did I know, I was very vital duringthe shutdown,” he said. “Interns basically ranthe White House because we weren’t paid.
“I was the chief of staff, I was the secretary,I was anything they needed me to be,” he said.“I basically was the staff.”
From August to December, Boyster workedat the White House under Joseph Stiglitz,chairman of the Council of EconomicAdvisers to the President.
While he admits there “was no typical dayat the White House,” Boyster said his averageday began at 8 a.m. when he would giveStiglitz a list of press clippings and an agendaof where he needed to go and who he wasmeeting with on a particular day.
“It was not unusual for me to go from theCapitol to the White House three or four timesin a day,” he said. “Sometimes things wouldjust come up that we wouldn’t expect.”
Like a call from the president.“When the president calls, you drop
everything and do what he wants,” Boystersaid.
Boyster said he met President and HillaryClinton several times.
“I was put in the line to say good-bye asthey left for Hawaii (in August)” he said. “I
said ‘Have a nice vacation’ and he said ‘Youbet I will.’”
Boyster attended a White House Christmasparty, received priority seating for the nationallighting of the White House Christmas treeand used the president’s private seating box tosee the symphony at the Kennedy Center.
“The president is very personable,” he said.“I don’t know if he knew my name, but I
know he always recognized who I was.”When Clinton announced in December that
he vetoed a resolution to return federalemployees to work, stating he refused “tobalance the budget on the backs of the

Both Eastern and Illinois State Universitystudent body presidents are circulatingpetitions to prove that local Amtrak routesare needed by college students.
Student Body President Michelle Gaddinisaid Eastern petitions will be availableTuesday in the student government office inthe Martin Luther King Jr. UniversityUnion.
Gaddini said the petitions will show stateofficials that Amtrak is an important formof transportation to students at stateuniversities.
“On an issue like this we need to makethe first move and let (the students) knowwe are there to help,” Gaddini said. “I’mnot really sure how many people use thetrain here, but we need to take some actionbecause if we don’t it may not be there.”
Routes from Chicago to St. Louis,Springfield, Carbondale and Quincy are indanger of being closed down if $2.5 millionis not reallocated from state funds by theFeb. 29 deadline.
Gaddini said she spoke with Ryan Koehl,ISU’s student body president, who iscirculating the same petition throughout theweek at ISU and she wants Eastern studentsto have the same option to voice theiropinion to Illinois legislatures.
Gaddini said she also hopes to have aninformation table set up Tuesday in theUnion walkway with information aboutAmtrak and the petitions sitt ing out.However, she said the table has not yet beenapproved by Union officials.
Gaddini said she is unsure how manysignatures the Student Senate will be able toget before the petitions are sent toSpringfield.

said her office had alreadyreceived a memo from Heumannand two other faculty members.
Fewell said Terry Weidner, vicepresident for academic affairs, iswriting a memo to the PhysicalPlant to see what can be done toaddress some of the concerns.
Rick Bagwell, a pipe fitter forthe environmental controls depart-ment, said the demolition areasshould be sealed off well enoughto avoid irritation. The irritationshouldn’t occur unless somebodyalready has respiratory problems,Bagwell said.
“We can have somebody goover there and check into it,” hesaid.
Fewell said the problems whichhave arisen stem from a lack ofcommunication.
“Part of (the problem) is whenthey were doing the construction,I’m not sure all of the constructionpeople knew where the air intakewas,” Fewell said. “It’s just a mat-ter of coordinating with the con-struction company.”
Physical Plant Director TedWeidner said the faculty were toldof some of the problems that mightarise during the renovation, but hisoffice would try to alleviate anyconcerns.
“I think the main point thatneeds to be made is that the plan toleave some of the departments inthe building during renovation ...was approved by all parties con-cerned,” said vice president forbusiness affairs Morgan Olsen.“(They) knew it would be less thanideal conditions.”
Ted Weidner said the proposedproblems should be dealt with assoon as possible.
“If there is a problem, I’ll workwith the head of environmentalhealth and safety to alleviate that,”he said. “My hope is the contractorblocks off the construction areafrom the faculty and staff area.”
A plastic dust and smoke barriercould be put up to help block thefumes, Ted Weidner said.
Several other concerns have alsoarisen from faculty members,which most attribute to poor plan-ning during the renovation.
Heumann said the original planwas to add a new wing for thejournalism department before therest of the construction was to becompleted, but that didn’t gothrough because of funding prob-lems.
“We’ve got a real challenge inthe Buzzard Building becauseWEIU is one area that couldn’t bemoved out and allow them to con-tinue to operate,” Ted Weidnersaid. “There are some disruptionsthat must occur because its part ofthe renovation.”
Heumann and Mahmood Butt,chairman of the secondary educa-tion department, said faculty mem-bers in the education department
who still remain in the buildinghave not had as many problemsbecause that area is completelyblocked off from the construction.
Another concern which hasarisen among faculty members isof the lack of restroom facilities inBuzzard Building.
“The only bathrooms that wereclose for us to use were rippedout,” Stafford said. “The closestoperating bathroom facility thatworks properly is Klehm Hall.”
Heumann said there is still onebathroom facility faculty and stu-dents can use, but said it is notclean and there is no water for theurinals.
Plans are in the process forportable restrooms to be installed,although he believes most facultydo not consider that to be a goodcompromise, Heumann said.
“You can’t create bathroomfacilities overnight,” Fewell said.“There are facilities available but(whether it’s) adequate is a base ofjudgment.”
Another complaint of Stafford isa lack of permanent entrances toBuzzard.
“There are no entrances to speakof worth a damn – they don’t takeinto consideration that people haveto get into the building,” Stafford
American people,” Boyster said the president hadtears in his eyes.
“He walked by me after the speech and I said tohim ‘Hope kept alive,’ the theme of the ‘92 cam-paign, and he said ‘We’ll keep trying.’”
Boyster also met Vice President Al Gore andaccompanied Tipper Gore in an AIDS benefit walk,“as a buffer against the thousands of people.”
“We were all supposed to hold hands and therewere so many people, at one point I thought I lostTipper Gore,” he remembers. “I kept running aroundgoing ‘I lost Tipper Gore! I lost Tipper Gore!’
“Then I heard laughing and my girlfriend tappedme on the shoulder and when I turned around, Tipperwas right there – laughing that we thought we losther.”
His time in Washington, D.C., locked in Boyster’smind what he wants to do as a career.
“I want to go into political public relations,” hesaid. “I want to learn what the public wants to knowand let them know.
“I always imagined myself one day going to theWhite House, but I thought it would be after years ofwork,” he said. “It’s weird that I started there before Ireally began my career.”
Since he completed his internship, Boyster saidWashington, D.C., has become more of a reality tohim.
“I was a changed individual after being inWashington,” he said. “I used to watch the nightlynews and C-SPAN, but when you hear conversationsand see different people, reality sets home.
“There are thinkers and doers in Washington andsome there are just so opposed to change or compro-mise, it gets in the way of what they’re trying toaccomplish.”
Boyster said he has trouble deciding which eventduring his five-month stay in Washington, D.C., is themost memorable – whether it’s walking into the OvalOffice and seeing the chair that so many of his heroessat in, helping do advance work for the 50th anniver-sary of the United Nations or watching a quiet stillfall over the White House when Yitzhak Rabin wasassassinated.
But he knows he will never forget any of them.“I may never get to walk in the halls of the White
House again, but I’ve got memories to last me a life-time,” he said. “How many people can say theyworked under an adviser to the most powerful man inthe world?”

The members of Eastern’sfirst governing board will serveless than the full six-year term.
The seats held by NateAnderson, Susan Gilpin,Thomas Johnson and CarlKoerner will be up for reap-pointment in three years, andKeith Branson, Mack Hollowell
and Betsy Mitchell will servefor five years.
The goal of the shortened ser-vice is to establish staggeredterms on the board. Staggeringthe terms prevents a completelynew and inexperienced boardfrom taking over, TomLivingston, assistant to the gov-ernor for higher education, said.
With a staggered term system,there will always be memberson the board with prior experi-ence.
“(Staggered terms) provide ahistorical perspective or aninst i tut ional memory,”Livingston said. “There is a mixbetween fresh ideas, and yet notmaking the same mistakes of thepast.”
Many boards in the state who
have staggered terms,Livingston said.
Once these first terms arecompleted, board members willbe offered six-year terms. Thenumber of terms a person canserve is limitless.
Livingston said that as thegovernor and the state senatechanges, the boards change aswell . Board members areappointed by the governor andapproved by the Senate.
“It’s an advantage to have thegovernor and the GeneralAssembly appoint them becausethey work with these individualsthroughout the year,” Livingstonsaid.
Board members are reviewedat the end of their term.Performance while on the board,public opinion and new candi-dates are all factors on whetherto reappoint a candidate,Livingston said.
There is no set impeachmentprocess for board members,Chris Merrif ield, Eastern’sdirector of governmental rela-tions, said.
If people are unhappy with aboard member, they can expresstheir concerns to the Senate orthe governor, but there is no lawof removal, Merrifield said.
“The key is that the governorselects very qualified people tothe board and I think that’swhere all of the energy shouldbe concentrated,” she said.
Merrifield said she’s neverseen anyone removed from agoverning board and would besurprised if it did ever happen.
Board members can beremoved upon conviction of afelony.

“
Any football fan can rememberstaring in awe at the wild eyes ofthis ferocious 10-time All-Prolinebacker as he scanned anddevoured offensive schemes, bark-ing out commands to his teammateslike a general in the heat of battle.
But four years into retirement,Mike Singletary isn’t sure if he’llwatch the Superbowl this Sunday.
A surprise change for the formerChicago Bears linebacker who wonDefensive Player of the Year twice.
Now, those eyes have fixed their gaze on making a differ-ence in corporate America, prisons and especially his home.
“You have to keep moving,” he said in a phone interview.“The last thing I want to become is a has-been. I’ve alwayslooked forward to the next level.”
The man who broke at least sixteen helmets while playingfor Baylor University, according to Current Biography, is driv-en by a variety of forces in this extended post-season.
“I’m driven when I look into my wife’s eyes and realizeI’ve been given someone very special to share my life withand when I look into the eyes of my children.”
Singletary has six children, including Rebecca Lynn, whowas born Jan. 10. “Now, more than anything, I ask myself,‘What can I do to make them strong, and make a difference intheir lives?’” he said.
He’s also changed fields from the gridlock to the skyscrap-ers. He serves corporate America as a consultant, giving pre-sentations on diversity, teamwork and change. “I want to makeorganizations better than what they were yesterday,” he said.
He’s also recorded an inspirational tape on integrity, and heencourages individuals to dream about success.
“I’ve always been able to dream,” said Singletary, whogrew up in a ghetto near Houston, Texas. “You have to dream,otherwise you live in a state of hopelessness.”
After people dream, they need to take it to the next level –reality – and work for those dreams, he said.
Throughout his career, Singletary was known for turning onthe lights in the morning and shutting them off in the eveningat the Bears’ training center. He studied films of offenses like apre-med student studies anatomy.
But one of Singletary’s most intense post-football activitiesis prison ministry. About four times a year, he travels to eightprisons in two days, and speaks to about 9,000 people. “Mosttimes, I can get people thinking that God has a better plan fortheir lives,” he said. “What Christ has done is given us a key, itopens doors to things we never knew were there.”
“People is where I am – chil-dren’s hospitals, prisons, retirementhomes – where people aren’t happywhere they are, and they need helpand they need a Savior.”
Singletary also speaks in church-es. Considering his past, it’s shock-ing that he doesn’t avoid them likea disease.
Singletary’s father served as aminister, and the family sometimesspent 12 hours at church. As aresult of his father’s fanatiscm,
none of the children were allowed to play sports or any gamesat all. “Anything other than praying and singing and dedicatingone’s life to God were sin,” the Chicago Tribune reported.This continued until his parents divorced when he was 12.
But his faith emerged as something very different from hisfather’s in 1985 as the Bears won the Superbowl andSingletary was named Defensive Player of the Year.
“I was very frustrated and lonely and didn’t know why. Upuntil that point, I was a very religious person, but I didn’tknow Jesus Christ. I told the Lord ‘I can’t go any further. Ineed to know your grace and I need your power.’ And theLord met me where I was. It’s been great since then.”
Singletary distinguishes between his faith and the religion ofhis youth.
“I don’t like religion at all,” Singletary explained, regaininghis linebacker tone. Religion is the loveless process of going tochurch and following a set of rules instead of obeying God andserving others out of love, he added.
“If you don’t love, forget it,” he said. “Your Christianity isjust a religion.
“God gave us this wonderful grace not to take it to church,but to live it everyday. He gave it to us not to become holier-than-thou, but to share it and say we all fall, but God still lovesus. And when we fall, we can get up again.”
A decade after the Bears won the Superbowl, Singletarysays he doesn’t miss playing the sport that made him famous.The only place you’ll find him playing defense is against hischildren in his backyard. His eyes may dart around a bit, I’msure. But they’re not looking for quarterbacks; they’re proba-bly gazing at the horizon, looking for greater problems totackle and higher mountains to climb.
“The next step is going to be a better step,” Singletary saidwith his children’s voices echoing behind him.

-Mike Singletary
The three new university police officersscheduled to be added to the campus force forthe fall semester must be sure to keep their useof power in check and allow students somefreedom.
Foot patrol officers are exactly what is nec-essary to make students more familiar withuniversity police because current car patrolskeep students from getting to know the offi-cers.
The three campus police are being added aspart of a $225,000 federal grant intended tomake a more “community-minded approach”with the department, according to police ChiefTom Larson. The foot patrols will cover three
specif ied areas: theSouth Quad, GreekCourt and Carman Hall,Lincoln, Stevenson, and
Douglas halls and the Triad.Although this will mean added protection
for students and visitors in those areas, theofficers must make sure they do not try torestrict students too much from weekend enter-tainment.
The police should not overexert their powerand stop and check for underage drinking inevery student that enters their home after 1a.m. Moreover, maintaining a presence aroundstudents who simply look suspicious willcause anger toward the officers.
Resident assistants conducting patrols ofresidence halls do not always punish underagestudents if they find them to have been drink-ing.
In most incidents, the assistants will simplytell the students to head to their room. If theofficers try to strictly enforce every law in thebooks, the project’s goal of taking a “commu-nity orientated approach” will be difficult toachieve.
In patrolling these campus areas, the newofficers main goal should be to keep the peaceby stopping fights, sexual assaults and vandal-ism.
By questioning all drunk underage studentswhen heading for their rooms late at night,officers will be infringing upon the freedom ofstudents and perhaps escalating what is alreadya peaceful situation.
Editorial
Dear editor:A while back, I read an article
about John Craft and the amount ofmoney he was making here atEastern. This disturbed me because Icouldn’t understand why it was any-one’s business what his annualincome was or is. Then, in the Dec. 7issue, a letter to the editor was writtentitled, “Reporter Providing VitalInformation,” in which, again, a state-ment was made concerning Craft’ssalary.
I worked in the athletic departmentlast year and I believe that for theamount of work Craft does, hedeserves his salary and more. Not
only is he the acting associate athleticdirector and the director of Part-nership for Excellence, but he is acoach and a professor. Craft doesmore for students than many peopleon this campus and he deserves to bepaid for that. He supports the athletesand students to his fullest extent sothat we can reach our maximumpotential and capability.
He is at every sporting event histime allows and he is often doing“behind the scenes” odd jobs to makesure all goes well. Instead of makingremarks as to the amount of money heearns, try looking into the amount ofwork he does. He deserves not onlythe money, but respect and gratitudebecause others in his position may not
do the same. I know how hard heworks and I support him. Those hereat the university should too.
Michele Goebel

Eight apartment and house own-ers along with University Housingwill be at the fair to offer informa-tion about residence halls and otherresidencies.

Based on the response a localtheater group is getting, it seemsthat Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canter-bury Tales are alive and doing quitewell.
The Charleston Alley Theatre,718 Monroe Ave., is currently per-forming four of Chaucer’s Canter-bury Tales: “The Miller’s Tale,”“The Reeve’s Tale,” “The Nun’sPriest’s Tale” and “The Wife ofBath’s Tale” tonight, Friday andSaturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2p.m.
The production is the first of the1996 Subscription Series for thetheater group. For tickets and infor-mation, call the Lincoln Book Shopat 345-6070.
“We like to do classics,” Wood
said. However, he added, “you’reonly getting a taste of Chaucer.”
The production features a num-ber of Eastern faculty, both past andpresent, including Dick Rogers,emeritus faculty, who adapted thetales and co-directs the program.
Also included in the productionis David Radavich, an EasternEnglish professor, who is the in“The Nun’s Priest”.
Response to the production has“been very enthusiastic,” he said.
“We’ve had three very gooddays,” Wood said. It’s usually the“second weekend (that) is over-flowing.”
One possible reason for theshow’s success, Wood says, is that,“some things lend themselves toreading.”
“Most of the people in the audi-ence have read Chaucer at on time

At Tuesday’s Faculty Senatemeeting, senate member JohnAllison plans to addressEastern’s tuition increase andthe Il l inois Board of HigherEducation’s 3 percent recom-mendation.
A provision in the IBHE bud-get recommendations requiresthat a portion of a state school’stuition increase that exceeds 3
percent go to needy students.Because Eastern’s 4.3 percent
tuition increase for the 1996-97academic year exceeds theIBHE recommended 3 percentincrease by 1.3 percent, roughly20 percent of the excess must goto the I l l inois Student AidCommission as financial aid forneedy students at Eastern.
“At this point, the StudentSenate, Faculty Senate and thenew board should seek informa-tion to clarify what happened,how it happened and who atEastern will lose economicallyas a result,” Allison said.
Eastern’s 4.3 percent tuitionincrease raises tui t ion from$1,968 to $2,052 per semester –an $84 increase.
But $135,700 of Eastern’s 1.3percent excess will be used byISAC for Monetary Award
Programs to assist Eastern stu-dents in covering the extra cost.
In other business at the meet-ing, the senate will continuedeliberations on the suggestionof a possible faculty club thatwould offer a place for facultyto eat lunch, socialize and shareideas.
Gary Foster, Faculty Senatevice chairman, said he is unsurewhether the club would beexclusionary or also includestaff as well. Other issues – suchas a possible si te and feedmonies available from theadministration to get it off theground – are the main focusnow, Foster said.
Continued revisions inFaculty Senate constitution alsowill be on the agenda as well,said Senate Chairman JohnSimpson.

left – and gave Eastern thechance for the win in regulation.But after a missed basket, theball went out of bounds withone second to play, and thePenguins had possession.
The ball was inbounded toRaber, who was forced to heavea desperation hook shot frombeyond the three-point arc.
Then, Rodriguez andHernandez carried the Panthersin overtime. Before Hernandezconnected on five-of-six freethrow attempts, Rodriguez madea three-pointer, a layup and a14-foot jumper to preserve theEastern win.
Rodriguez, a fifth-year senior,explained that he wanted to bethe guy to go to when crunchtime set in.
“I felt I should be there forthe team as a cornerstone,”Rodriguez said. “I’m just look-ing to be solid down thestretch.”

Eastern’s stingy defense also played a part in keeping Hauger andMcCombs in check during the first half, as Hauger only scored once in thefirst ten minutes of the game.
Turnovers were also costly to Youngstown, as the Lady Penguins com-mitted 12 in the first half, with Hauger and McCombs combined for fourof them. Freshman guard Shonee Batte said defense was clearly a key inshutting down Hauger and McCombs.
“I think a little bit of pressure just scared them and it took them out oftheir game,” Batte said. (And) during the rest of the game we really don’thave to worry about much because the team is scared.”
In addition to an effective first half game plan, Klein believed Easterndid a good job of limiting Hauger and McCombs’ opportunities.
“The only thing we really did against those two (Hauger and McCombs)was that we didn’t collapse off of them when they penetrated,” Klein said.“(But) I didn’t really see that as a factor in holding Youngstown down.”

four-point lead.Scoring was nil for over two minutes until
Hernandez hit another two free throws with4:24 left. Youngstown’s lead was just two at56-54. Eastern layups by Rodriguez andMichael Odumuyiwa then gave head coachRick Samuels’ squad it’s first lead since 13seconds into the game.
Samuels said the comeback could not have
been possible without Eastern’s “hustle plays.”“We struggled most of the night,” Samuels
admitted. “Mike Odumuyiwa chased a mandown on a layup – but he made the effort. Wemade hustle plays, and those things turned thegame around.”
But Samuels gave credit to Rodriguez forthe fifth-year senior’s increased aggression.
“Andre was attacking more tonight,”
Samuels said. “If we set better screens, Andrecan get inside – with one or two power drib-bles, he’s very hard to stop in the lane.Tonight, he did a good job with his jump-stopas well.
“Playing at home, we have more fan sup-port,” Samuels said. “More breaks go in yourfavor. Andre’s dunk – those kind of thingsturned the game around.”
RALLY from page 12
“I just try to get in there anddo my job,” she said. “Tonightit was inside, and againstChicago State (earlier this sea-son), I was hitting my outsideshot.”
Klein added that his benchplays a big role in the team’sability to win. “Tonight,Youngstown was (playing dif-ferent defenses), but becausewe have so much depth thisyear, we were able to sneak afew in.”
One of those plays Klein saidwas freshman Angie Patzner’s3-pointer with 1:31 left in over-time.
“I don’t think they evenknew who Angie was, but weall believed she could make thatshot,” Klein said.
The win finds Eastern with a3-2 conference record. Youngs-town falls to 4-2, and also fallsout of a second place tie withthe University at Buffalo, whichvisits Charleston tonight at 5

Week after week, the men’s wrestlingteam continues to get better and better –and also carry with them a certain level ofinvincibility. The team once again had apositive showing this past weekend at theRed Skin Open in Ohio.
Matt Hughes (158) again led the teamwith a 3-0 record and won the champi-onship for the second week in a row.Hughes is proving to everybody that he isdeserving of his No. 8 ranking nationally.
Not only did Hughes have a stellar per-formance, but the rest of the team also puttheir best feet forward.
Junior Dave Pena (118) followed his firstplace showing a week ago with a 3-1record and took second place. Tim Fix(167) also had a 3-1 record and secondplace.
But the success did not stop there. BothCurtis Owen (177) and Chad Surles (150)placed third, while Pete Kolzow (Hwt.) andBucky Randolph (150) finished in fourth.
On paper, this may look like the team’sbest performance of the season. But thenone has to think about the level ofcompetition Eastern’s wrestlers faced.
“This meet wasn’t as tough as it hadbeen in the past,” coach Ralph McCauslandsaid. “We wrestled well in respect to ourintensity level, but didn’t wrestle up to our
level.”Pena was not impressed with his own
performance. “The competition wasn’t allthat spectacular and I shouldn’t have lost,”Pena said. “I wasn’t up for the match anddidn’t wrestle up to my potential.”
On the other hand Fix was more upbeatwith his showing. “I definitely showed a lotof improvement,” Fix said. “My conditionis right there but I feel I could have donebetter.”
Up until this point in the season the teamhas been lucky not to sustain any majorinjuries. Perhaps that luck is slowly runningout. Pena hurt his neck in the first matchwhile Tim Fix injured his knee. While theseinjuries may not seem to be serious, they
could very well be nagging injuries thatinfluence their performance throughout therest of the season. Only time will tell.
Going into the weekend McCausland,felt he needed a team performance in orderto be successful.
“I think we did that to a degree,”McCausland said. “There weren’t any teampoints awarded but in the dual meets it isn’tgoing to matter.”
This Tuesday night the team was sched-uled to have a home meet against SouthernIllinois University at Edwardsville. It wascanceled because of a scheduling conflict.
“It’s good as far as cutting weightbecause now we don’t have to worry aboutit,” Fix said. “Other than that I really don’t
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)– Joe Dumars, who knows a fewthings about championship teams,feels the Chicago Bulls have thatlook.
It’s in their eyes.They certainly showed it
Sunday.Michael Jordan scored 36
points and Scottie Pippen added22 as the Bulls rolled to a 111-96victory over the Detroit Pistons,who had won five in a row athome.
In the process, the Bulls (34-3)extended two streaks, winningtheir 11th straight game and beat-ing the Piston for the 13th time ina row.
“I’ve never seen anybody betterthan them, not one team,’’ saidDumars, the only holdover fromthe Pistons’ consecutive champi-
onship teams of 1989 and 1990.“This Chicago team is the mostconfident, most assured teamthey’ve had.
“Their three championshipteams, except maybe the last one,still had that wild look in theireyes, like, `Oh, God, we have towin!’ These guys just look confi-dent. They absolutely know theycan win.’’
The Pistons, led by Grant Hill’s24 points, were no match for theBulls, who began their streakagainst Detroit on March 14,1993.
“We lost to them by 20 (actual-ly 15),’’ said Hill, who has ledAll-Star balloting each of his twoyears in the NBA. “They’re prettyclose to invincible. They canembarrass you. We can’t feel toobad about losing to a team like
that.’’The Pistons, who led briefly in
the first quarter, narrowed theBulls lead to 36-35 on OtisThorpe’s basket with 5:02 left inthe half. Then the Bulls went onan 18-4 run for a 54-39 halftimelead, holding the Pistons without abasket over that stretch.
Jordan, who has scored over 30points in 22 games – including thelast seven – had 12 of Chicago’s18 points during the burst.
“It would be a great thrill to bepart of a team that can overpowerpeople like that,’’ Hill said. “Ihope someday we’re at thatlevel.’’
It was typical of the way he hasplayed lately. In his four previousgames before facing Detroit,Jordan had scored 48, 46, 32 and38 points, an average of 41 points

Starting this Tuesday, Eastern will begin con-ducting interviews with the finalists for the headcoaching position of the men’s soccer team.
Troy Fabiano, who came to Eastern in July afterserving as an assistant coach at Robert MorrisCollege in Corapolis, Pa., coached the team to a 5-12 record in 1995. But because interim positionsare only temporary, Fabiano had to reapply for thejob according to Eastern athletic director BobMcBee.
“There is a certain process we must go throughto hire a new coach and we have to follow univer-sity guidelines when hiring a new coach,” McBeesaid.
As for the policy regarding the hiring process, ascreening committee was formed in earlyDecember headed by Frank Parcells, an associateprofessor of the speech communications depart-ment.
Coaches, members of the IntercollegiateAdministration and members of Eastern’s athleticdepartment also served on the committee.
And while Eastern’s sports information directorDavid Kidwell was unsure about the number ofcandidates that applied for the job, he said the
committee believed the finalists chosen werepicked for a good reason.
“To be honest, I’m not sure how many peopleapplied for the job, but half of them were probablyeliminated in two minutes because they weren’tlegit,” Kidwell said. “I guess the committeebelieved that the finalists they chose were the mostoutstanding candidates and were the ones theywanted to have interviewed.”
In addition to Fabiano, three other finalists havebeen selected by the committee: Seth Roland, TimMcClements and Chris Karwoski.
Roland was the assistant men’s soccer coach atthe College of William and Mary (Williamsburg,Va.), McClements was the head coach at BakerUniversity (Baldwin City, Kan.) and Karwoski wasthe an assistant coach at the University ofPittsburgh.
As for the interviews, all of them will be open tothe public, and Roland will be interviewed first thisTuesday at 10:30 a.m. in the Lantz Gym ClubRoom. McClements will be interviewed in theLantz Pool Lounge on Jan. 23 at 10:30 a.m. andKarwoski’s interview will also be conducted in theLantz Pool Lounge on Jan. 26.
Fabiano will be the final candidate interviewedand his interview will be conducted on Jan. 29 at10:30 a.m. in the Lantz Club room.

Panthers cool down Penguins in OT, 74-68By DAN FIELDSSports editor
Senior guard Johnny Hernan-dez was unable to attend someof the Eastern men’s basketballteam’s practices this past weekbecause of school-related mat-ters.
But Hernandez was able tochannel that unused energy ontothe basketball court Saturdaynight, as he tied with AndreRodriguez to score a game-high19 points in Eastern’s 74-68overtime victory over Youngs-town State University in LantzGym.
“I feel good – maybe Ishouldn’t practice the rest of theyear,” suggested Hernandez,whose five free throws in over-time sealed the Panthers’ firstwin since Jan. 4 against ChicagoState.
Before the win, the Panthers(4-8 overall, 2-3 in the Mid-Continent Conference) had lostsix of their last seven contests.But the Youngstown State gamemarked the beginning of a three-game homestand – and a stretchfeaturing seven of their nextnine games in Charleston.
Head coach Rick Samuelsexplained that winning the firstgame of the homestand was cru-cial in terms of giving the teamconfidence in itself.
“When you’re at home,there’s more familiar surround-ings,” Samuels said. “It’s time
for us to get momentum. It’stime for us to get confident.”
But it was hard for the teamto gain any momentum when alayup by the Penguins’ Marcus
Culbreath gavethem a 56-44advantage withjust 9:11 to play.Then the unex-pected hap-pened.

“People don’t understand howmuch the crowd means,”Rodriguez said. “I think westarted getting going after thatdunk.”
“It’s nice to have the fanscheer for you, instead of for theother team,” Hernandez added.
After the Panthers caught upwith Youngstown (7-7, 2-4), thebiggest lead Eastern would havein regulation was two points –when forward Michael Slaugh-ter connected on two freethrows with 2:09 to play.
But when the Penguins’ HankRaber hit two more shots fromthe charity stripe, the game wastied at 62-62 with 19 seconds

Andre Rodriguez snatched the loose ball in the paint andwent up strong, delivering a thunderous, rim-rocking slam.
From that point on, the Youngstown State Penguins weredestined to fall. Rodriguez’s jam electrified the over 3,000fans in Lantz Gym and began an 11-0 run to overcomedeficits as large as 12 points to win in overtime.
Rodriguez said the dunk keyed the Panther comeback.“The crowd means so much to a player, and to the team,”
Rodriguez said after finishing with 19 points on nine-of-13
shooting. “At that point, the crowd was inthe game.”
Eastern’s point guard Johnny Hernandezstruggled from the floor, connecting on justthree-of-11 shots, including one-for-six fromthree-point land. But Hernandez made hispresence felt at the charity stripe. The seniormade good on 12-of-13 tries.
After the game, the Rockford Boylanproduct said the Rodriguez stuff gave theteam much needed energy to key a comeback
run over the final 7:45 of regulation.
“Something like that lifts the team,” Hernandez, who alsohad nine assists and six rebounds, said. “We all saw whathappened with Andre – that sparked us.”
The Panther rally, while most evident in the lane, was con-ceived from downtown. Freshman Chad Peckinpaugh drilleda three with 8:54 to play to close the gap to 56-47. After atimeout, Rodriguez sent in part of his contribution with thedunk.

One down, two to go.The Lady Panthers began a homestand which
will see three of the top four teams in the Mid-Continent Conference pass through Lantz Gymwith a 77-73 overtime victory over YoungstownState University Saturday night.
The Lady Penguins scored first in the extra ses-sion, but Eastern kept it close with its inside game.Midway through overtime, forward BarboraGarbova hit a layup that put the Lady Panthersahead for good. With eight seconds left, guard JessLaska’s two free throws gave Eastern the four-pointwin.
Even though the Lady Penguins came into thecontest sporting the Mid-Con’s third ranked scoringoffense (76.5 points per game), it was the LadyPanthers who put points on the board early. Sevenminutes into the game, Eastern had a 13-point lead,and at the half they were up by 12.
But head coach John Klein didn’t want his team
to relax with the lead.“By no means did we feel we
were in control of the game,”Klein said. “We wanted to takecontrol in the first five minutes (ofthe second half), but that didn’thappen.”
What did happen was Youngs-town’s rally. Two-and-a-half min-utes into the second period,
Eastern’s 12-point lead had dwin-dled to five. And with approxi-
mately six minutes to play, the Penguins’ LizHauger gave Youngstown its first lead of the game.
Eastern battled back, and freshman guard ShoneeBatte’s 3-pointer with just over a minute to playgave the Lady Panthers a three-point lead.
But Youngstown’s Shannon Beach hit a threewith 54 seconds to play and sent the game to over-time.
While the pace of the game was quick, centerAllison Lee said that the pace doesn’t matter to her.

This was one contest in whichthe game plan did not need to bechanged.
And while Youngstown StateUniversity boasted Liz Haugerand Caroline McCombs – thefourth and fifth best scorers in theMid-Continent Conference –Eastern women’s basketball headcoach John Klein stuck with theusual game plan.
“We just went out there and didwhat we do game in and gameout,” Klein said. “We alwaysscout out our opponents and seehow their top scorers get open,but we didn’t change anythingdefensively.”
Nevertheless, sticking with thenormal game plan was effective,as Hauger and McCombs strug-gled throughout the first half
while the LadyPanthers jumpedout to a 36-24halftime lead.
Hauger, whocame into thegame averaging16.5 points pergame, shot a dis-mal 20 percent
(1-5) in the firsthalf and was 3-4 from the charitystripe in finishing with fivepoints. Hauger finished the gamewith 19 points.
As for McCombs, who cameinto the game averaging 16.4 ppg,her shooting woes were more evi-dent. During the first half she shot0-4 from the field and only played14 minutes. McCombs, whofouled out with 15 seconds left inovertime, finished the game with5 points.
Lady Panthers claim early lead,hold on for 77-73 overtime victory
Same old game planworks fine for Klein
