Eastern’s football team claimed sole possession of the Ohio Val-ley Conference championship and earned the automatic qualifier to the FCS playoffs with a 39-20 win over Southeast Missouri.
“I was excited for (the players) to hoist that trophy,” head coach Dino Babers said.
“When (Artavious) Dowdell grabbed the trophy from me and those guys started doing all the stuff they were doing, I was over there like a reporter just checking it out because it’s a memory that I want implanted in my mind for-ever. I will never forget that,” he said.
The Panthers found themselves in a closer-than-expected first half as the Redhawks rushing attack gashed Eastern for 163 first half rushing yards.
The combination of duel-threat quarterback Scott Lathrop and running back Levi Terrell com-bined for 166 rushing yards and a touchdown in the opening half.
Despite the Redhawks produc-tion in the running game, the Panthers took a 16-14 lead into
the halftime break. Junior quar terback Jimmy
Garoppolo found red-shirt sopho-more tight end Sam Hendricks in the back of the end zone for his first of two touchdown passes in the winning effort.
Hendricks’ touchdown recep-tion came on a tipped pass, but the tight end showed good coor-dination to stay with the ball and get one foot inbounds to secure the touchdown.
Red-shirt senior running back Jake Walker also added a touch-down in the first half, running the ball in from eight yards out for the score.
Walker finished the game with a team-best 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.
In the second half, the Panthers virtually shut down the Redhawks rushing attack, allowing just 31 yards on 19 carries to take control of the game.
“SEMO is a really good football team,” red-shirt sophomore line-backer Adam Gristick said.
“Their quarterback is a great player and their running back is really good, but we just came out in the second half and dominat-ed. We changed stuff up at half-time and came out and played our butts off and got the victory,” he said.
The second half adjustments led to the Panthers recording five sacks as Greg Mahan record-ed two, while Artavious Dowdell, Robert Haynes and LeQuince Mc-Call each added one sack.
The Panthers also added 10 tackles-for-loss in the win.
The strong defensive perfor-mance led to the Panthers scor-ing 23 unanswered points en route to claiming their first conference championship since the 2009 sea-son and their sixth overall since 2001.
“I can say about three things: happy, excited and ecstatic,” red-shirt junior wide receiver Erik Lora said. “We were one of the few teams that believed in our-selves. We came to work, we had a great summer camp and a great fall camp and we came out to win the OVC.”
Lora led the Panthers second half scoring outburst, as he became the OVC single-season record holder for receiving yards in a sea-son. Lora totaled 178 yards and a touchdown on 15 receptions, and now has 1,479 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 115 receptions.
“You would pay a lot of money to watch Erik Lora play football,” Babers said. “That’s what student-athletes are all about. He is unself-ish; team first and there is no ‘I’ in Erik Lora. Any accolades he gets, any awards he gets, he deserves it.”
With the win, the Panthers im-prove to 7-3 overall and 6-1 in the OVC. They will return to action when they travel to Conway, Ark., to take on Central Arkansas in the regular season finale.

Members of Eastern’s community will gath-er around the flagpole in front of Old Main to honor veterans on Monday.
The Veteran’s Day ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. at the front of Old Main.
Lt. Col. Stephen Knotts, the coordinator of Veterans and Military Personnel Student Services, said there will be different speeches from veterans of the faculty, staff and students who will speak at the ceremony.
“The ceremony is to be able to honor all veterans, both the ones who have died, as well as the living veterans and to be able to show that EIU gives us a chance to be able to honor those veterans on campus and in our commu-nity,” Knott said.
He said different departments throughout campus will be participating in the ceremo-ny, from the music department to the ROTC program.
Knotts said there will a narration of Veter-ans Day and speeches from Cody Gallagher, a student veteran and ROTC cadet, and Presi-dent Bill Perry.
He said there will be a wreath laying at the base of the flag pole by Perry, a veteran mem-ber of the faculty, the staff and a student vet-eran.
“All four major portions of EIU is going to be there honoring veterans,” Knotts said.
The ROTC Panther Battalion will have a three-volley salute using a cannon made by the department of technology instead of ri-fles.
Someone from the music department will perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “Taps.”
The rain location will be inside of Old Main.
A reception will follow the ceremony in the foyer of Old Main.
“This is an opportunity for people of the university, students, staff and faculty, and people from the community,” Knotts said.
Knotts said the ceremony is not on Veter-ans Day because they wanted to involve ev-eryone.
“Veteran’s Day is historically on the 11th of November, which was the end of World War I,” Knotts said.
He said they moved the ceremony because they wanted more people to attend.
“Since the event this year is on a Sunday, we wanted to make sure students and facul-ty would be able to participate in this ceremo-ny,” Knotts said.
He said this is a good way to show support for veterans.
“It allows people who have not been veter-ans to gain some awareness and appreciation of some of the things that veterans have gone through in order to defend the Constitution of the United States,” Knott said.

Though the center of David Finnigan’s hobby is an obsolete piece of technology, he still felt it was nec-essary and rewarding to publish an 800-page manual concerning his be-loved computer.
Finnigan’s book, titled "The New Apple II User’s Guide," was pub-lished in June 2012 and is a com-prehensive manual of the Apple II, a home computer produced between 1977 and 1993.
The Apple II was one of the first successfully mass-produced home computers, Finnigan explained. However, few people own or use Ap-ple II’s today, he said.
Finnigan, 22, did not grow up us-ing an Apple II. His first exposure to the computer came in 2005 while playing at a friend’s house. Finnigan said the friend’s family owned an Ap-ple II, but they had little use for the computer. The parents saw Finni-gan’s interest in the Apple II and gave it to him for free.
Ever since then, Finnigan has im-mersed himself in the hardware and software that still exists for Apple II. He now owns four of the six mod-els of Apple II and has acquired man-uals, games and other products for the computer through family, friends and eBay.
“What keeps me using (the Ap-ple II) today is that I like fiddling around with computer systems and programming them and playing the old games,” Finnigan said.
Finnigan is not alone in his love for everything Apple II, he said. While the Apple II is little-used to-day, Finnigan said there is still a small yet strong band of hobbyists who continue to write programs and de-sign software for the computer.
“I’d say it is probably out of loyal-ty and nostalgia that keeps people us-ing it today,” he said.
Because there is still interest in the Apple II and because hobbyists are still writing programs and designing software for the computer, Finnigan decided in Summer 2010 to write his own manual detailing how to use and alter the Apple II.
Originally, Finnigan only set a goal of 300 to 400 pages for the manual.
“I found that I was passing those milestones, and I still hadn’t covered all the material,” he said.
When he first began writing the manual, Finnigan did not tell his family or friends about his project because he was not sure he would finish the manual.
“I started writing it, and I really kept in under-the-table,” he said.
However, working on the man-ual over breaks between semesters
and on holidays, Finnigan eventually reached 200 pages in the manual and decided to tell his family and friends about his project.
The most challenging part of con-structing the manual was the amount of research it took to detail all aspects of the Apple II hardware and soft-ware, Finnigan said.
“A huge amount of research went into writing this book,” he said. “I had to do a lot of cross-checking and research and verification.”
In some instances, Finnigan found inconsistencies between various man-uals and even found errors in official Apple manuals.
Another challenge Finnigan ran into while writing the manual was detailing how the Apple II can still be used today in the era of the Inter-net.
“All this stuff about networking and going online and email and so on, it didn’t exist when the Apple II was a mainstream computer,” he said. “It’s all very new material that I had to do research on.”
Finnigan said the Apple II can be adapted to access limited on-line content and perform basic on-line functions, such as a Google or Wikipedia search. However, such websites as Facebook and Youtube would not be accessible with the limited capabilities of the comput-er, he said.
With nearly 250 copies sold, The New Apple II User’s Guide is the only manual still in publication for the Apple II, Finnigan said.
“I have a monopoly on the Apple II book market right now,” he said.
Finnigan will host a book signing of "The New Apple II User’s Guide" from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday in the Marvin Foyer in Booth Library. Students can also check out a copy of the manual from Booth Library.

A Charleston principal ran 40 miles in a six-hour period by him-self while matching the pace of teams with four people Saturday despite the wind and hills in his way.
Runners took a 40-mile scenic route around Coles County pass-ing through fields, hills, historic sites and more.
The Charleston Parks and Rec-reation Department sponsored the 40-mile relay.
There were 21 teams in the dif-ferent categories of Superman, duo, three-person teams and four-per-son teams.
Rob Ulm was the only Super-
man, which means he ran the en-tire 40 miles with no one to trade off legs of the race.
Ulm, the principal of Jefferson Elementary School, was solo ex-cept when he crossed the finish line with his children, who ran along with him.
Last year, Ulm tied for 10th overall with a time of 5 hours, 49 minutes, 16 seconds.
This year, his time was about 6 hours, 25 minutes.
“It was slower this year because it was warmer and just as windy,” Ulm said.
Ulm said he has run five or six 100-mile races, some under 24 hours, and wants to set an example for his children.
“My daughter ran in the ‘Girls
on the Run’ over in Mattoon this morning so I try to model for them,” Ulm said. “It’s a lifestyle, and they seem to pick it up. I don’t push, but I like to show them that mom and dad are both active.”
Ulm said part of his run was spent listening to the Eastern foot-ball games and looking at the scen-ery.
The rest of the teams alternated the 11 legs of the race. Throughout the route, there were 10 transition sites where members changed ba-tons and got water. Members who were not running that leg were transported by cars to the next site.
Diane Ratliff, the tourism and special events supervisor of the Charleston Parks and Recreation Department, said the winners were
broken down into different catego-ries by all-male teams, all-female teams and co-ed.
The two teams from SteepleWeb won first and second place. The first team broke the previous course record by about four minutes.
Nate Atkinson, a web developer for Eastern, said they hoped both teams would break the record, but only one did.

After two sessions during a 12-week period, the University Board’s “The Art of Inner Peace” lecture se-ries will come to a close Monday with the topic of mindful medita-tion.
Jay Shinde, an assistant of ac-counting, has been giving one lec-ture per month. The lecture on Mon-day will take place at 7 p.m. in the 7th Street Underground of the Mar-tin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Shinde said this particular lecture will focus on the act of meditating, something he has been practicing for the past 25 years.
He said he practices the “Qadriya Sufi Meditation,” and there are many advantages to it.
“You need to meditate only 5-10 minutes per day, as opposed to longer with other techniques,” Shinde said. “It is enjoyable because it is short, and you don't have to concentrate.”
Shinde said the meditation uses something called Muraqaba, which is using the words combined with the breath.
Because of the combination of words and breath, the technique can be termed as “mindful,” which is how this particular lecture got its name.
“With the QSM, you typically use a ‘word(s)’ along with the breath,” Shinde said. “This helps to get into a deeper meditative state.”
According to the Qadriya Sufi Foundation of America, the medita-tion has been practiced for more than 1,000 years.
Shinde said this history is part of the reason this particular type of meditation is so reliable.
“It has been practiced for over 1,400 years, and there is a lot of ev-idence in terms of its efficacy,” he said.
Shinde said this technique can be used by students as a form of relief for a variety of different issues, in-cluding stress, depression and anx-
iety. He said it can also help devel-op better concentration that can help students better prepare for exams.
“It is a ‘quick’ technique,” he said. “Students have used this technique in the past to get through difficult ex-ams.”
Through this session, attendees of the previous sessions will get the “final piece of the puzzle” in under-standing this subject.
“The previous sessions have been leading up to this session,” Shinde said. “In this session, I will talk about the seven stages of evolution and how a person can become a better person by practicing this meditation.”
Despite his focus on this particular type of meditation, Shinde said there are many.
“There are many meditation tech-niques,” he said. “Basically, they are all efficacious.”

EIU HUNGER CHALLENGE
By Katie Smith Staff Reporter
A Los Angeles teacher received a standing ovation Friday for his perfor-mance of “They Call Me Mr. Fry,” a one-man show that portrayed his belief that teaching is a one-man performance in and of itself.
The show focused on real interac-tions between Jack Freiberger, “Mr. Fry,” and two of his former students, Anthony and Jasmine, while teaching at what he calls a “No Child Left Be-hind” school.
The names of Freiberger’s characters were the only aspects of his show altered from the reality of his encounters with his students.
Original copies of letters and home-work assignments were used as props to be displayed on a projector for the au-dience to experience what it was like to be in his South Los Angeles classroom.
President Bill Perry and his wife Lin-da Perry were among the rest of the Charleston community members and Eastern students who came to see the show.
Bill Perry said he hoped to gain new insight from Freiberger’s narration.
“I hope I learn something about the mind of a teacher,” Bill Perry said. “I think the most important thing that happens between a teach-er and a student is the kind of meet-ing of the minds where the student learns how the professor thinks, and the professor learns how the student thinks.”
Freiberger said he felt similarities about performing.
“I wanted to tell their stories,” Frei-berger said. “They needed to be heard. I’ve been doing this nationwide so I feel like a national artistic mouthpiece for teachers.”
Freiberger emphasized the strug-gle he said he believes each teacher fac-es while trying to balance the fantasy of a perfect first year in the classroom and the reality of its hardships.
He achieved this throughout the show by using references to Camelot
and King Arthur as an optimistic alter ego.
“As a first-year teacher, it is a raw ex-perience, and you come in with such big ideas and such Camelot hopes,” Freiberger said.
Those Camelot hopes were encour-aged by Freiberger’s portrayal of King Arthur, who motivated him to tran-scend mandated curriculum and reach his students on a personal level, some-thing he said one of his childhood teachers did that inspired him.
“I loved and adored him, and he found a special thing about all his stu-dents and made them feel special, and he grew and planted that special seed,” Freiberger said. “His teaching style, I’ve
adopted a little bit of it. It got people really involved and at stake and made people try harder.”
Freiberger said if he could give a piece of advice to new or aspiring teach-ers, it would be to remember why they wanted to teach.
“Keep your internal journey strong and spiritual, and don’t worry about the external factors,” Freiberger said. “It’s all about the kids, and remember that: it’s all about the kids. No matter what travails you may face. Don’t forget that teaching is fun.”

As a part of the EIU Hunger Challenge, Eastern’s Student Com-munity Service is providing the op-portunity for students to donate money by donating their time.
Every Monday in November, stu-dents can stop by the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union and write a message about hunger on a paper plate and submit it.
For every plate submitted, a lo-cal donor will donate $1 to the local food pantry.
Rachel Fisher, the director of Stu-dent Community Service, said she hopes to get 500 paper plates filled out and submitted so Eastern can raise $500 for the Charleston food pantry.
“All you have to do is write a note for a dollar donation,” she said.
Fisher said $500 of donations can provide $5,000 worth of food to hungry members of the Charles-ton and Coles County community, and she encourages student partic-ipation.
Jenna Mitchell, the vice presi-dent for student affairs and a stu-dent coordinator for the EIU Hun-ger Challenge, said participating in
the Paper Plate Advocacy program is important to students because, as Charleston residents for a portion of the year, they should care about hunger problems in their commu-nity.
“We are raising awareness in the community about hunger prob-lems throughout Coles Coun-ty,” she said. “After filling out a paper plate in the Union, all the plates will be sent to legislators in Springfield so that raises aware-ness from a local level to a state level as well.”
Mitchell said the first week of Pa-per Plate Advocacy went well.
“We had a great turnout, and many students took a lot of time out to write on the plates,” she said.
Mitchell described one student’s plate as a picture of a pizza with a piece missing to symbolize hunger.
“Other students wrote things they thought legislators should know about hunger,” she said.
At the end of the month, the plates will be packaged and sent to Springfield.
Paper Plate Advocacy will take place Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bridge Lounge of the Union.

Faculty and staff will break down boundaries and talk about their per-sonal experiences as the LGBTQA Resource Advisory Committee pres-ents the “Big Gay Panel” Monday.
The panel will take place at 8 p.m. in the Charleston-Mattoon Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. Universi-ty Union.
The panel will be comprised of six advisory committee members who will take questions from the audience.
LaVeasey Carter, the assistant di-rector of academic services and com-mittee member, said he organized the panel as an informal way to start a conversation between faculty, staff and students about issues they all may face and offer support.
“EIU Pride does one every year, and we will mirror what they do but with faculty and staff,” Carter said. “With the generation gap, they have different experiences than what stu-dents may have encountered.”
Carter said the panel members rep-resent “every letter in the LGBTQA alphabet” and will answer questions based upon their own experiences.
“What we talk about will depend on what people ask,” Carter said. “One of the reasons we are doing this is so students know there are faculty and staff members that represent ev-ery characteristic on the spectrum.”
He said another reason for the pan-el is to make a connection.
“I think it is so easy for students to think there is a disconnect between their lives and that of the faculty and staff,” Carter said. “We’re hoping to bridge that gap and show we all need each other.”
The panel will be presented during EIU Pride’s usual meeting time, but is open to the public.
“It just worked out timing-wise,” Carter said.” They already had the room reserved.”
He said the panel is meant to be a relaxed environment where students should feel no reservations to ask any questions.
“We have a diverse group of pan-elists who don’t have any reserva-tions about talking about where they stand,” Carter said. “We hope stu-dents will feel comfortable enough to ask any questions they may have been too afraid to ask and know they will get honest answers.”
Abby Wilburn, a junior sociology and philosophy major and EIU Pride president, said she is looking forward to the presentation because of how heartwarming it is to see the faculty and staff show their support.
“This is the first time they are do-ing this, and I can’t imagine anything but a positive reaction,” Wilburn said. “I’m looking forward to them sharing their wisdom and showing our mem-bers what other people experience.”

MIR ANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS Mr. Fry speaks to the audience about his girlfriend while holding a photo of her during "They Call Me Mr. Fry" Friday in the Black Box of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
School gets out for Thanksgiving in four days and I am about ready to yank my hair out. Projects, articles, homework, papers: You name it, I have it due this week.
I understand where my professors are coming from wanting to get it all done before break, but I have got to admit, I am currently a mess.
Not to mention holiday preparations. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, Thanksgiving and all the food goes with it. But what I don’t like is how early all of the preparations start.
I was shopping for my Halloween costume barely three weeks ago and they already had Christmas decorations out. The day after Hal-loween, I heard Christmas music. My sister was at the mall last weekend and they were already setting up their “Santa’s Village,” complete with fireworks. This past weekend, my mom asked me what I want for Christmas and my birthday (10 days before Christmas).
Seriously? Is all of this really necessary? What’s the rush? Last time I checked, Christ-
mas is still nearly a month and half away. Not to mention there isn’t even snow. How can any-one even think about the holidays when the grass is still green and people wore shorts last week? Yes, I know the Midwest is one of the few parts of the country that actually has snow during December, but for me, snow has always been a part of the holidays
I know this sounds bad, but I am going to compare all the Christmas advertisements to all of the election ads from last week. It is a con-stant bombardment and I fear I am suffering
from sensory overload. It’s frustrating and makes it difficult to fo-
cus. As I mentioned earlier, I don’t have time to lose focus.
How am I supposed to focus when Christ-mas carols are being played and men dressed as Santa Claus are parading around town?
So here is my plea—do not ask me about my holiday plans until this Friday or the Fri-day of finals. This is as much for my benefit as it is yours. If you do not ask me, I cannot get distracted and not do my work. Also, if you do not ask me I will not snap at you, because until Dec. 13 at 2:30 p.m., the end of my last final, I will be in work mode.
So go ahead, call me Scrooge, but Christmas isn’t until December and I will wait until then to celebrate.

The presidential election ended in disappoint-ment for the Republican Party as President Barack Obama will serve as our nations’ president for four more years. The disappointing outcome for the Republican Party should lead to change, as the Republicans clearly need to appeal to a younger generation if they want to succeed in today’s day and age.
Although I believe Mitt Romney was a quality candidate to take over the White House, his lack of appeal to certain crowds hampered the Repub-lican Party as a whole. Many Republicans felt that Romney held the advantage over Obama because of the struggling economy, the unemployment rate and the national debt ceiling, but he was still unable to dethrone Obama.
Some Republicans have argued that Romney was not conservative enough to appeal to the Re-publican Party as a whole. Although Romney is viewed as one of the more moderate Republican candidates in recent memory, saying that he was not conservative enough is a vast overstatement. Romney beat out conservative candidates Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich to earn the Republican presidential nominee.
Based on this past election, Republicans should see they need to find new ways to appeal to specif-
ic demographics.In the 2012 election, 60 percent of voters be-
tween the ages of 18-29 decided to vote for Presi-dent Obama, and 52 percent of voters between the ages of 30-44 chose to vote for President Obama.
The 2012 election had the largest gender gap in the history, according to the Gallup poll. By gender, 55 percent of women chose to vote for Obama, while 52 percent of men decided to vote for Romney. For single women, Obama won the vote by 36 percent.
Though widespread appeal is ideal, Republi-cans should find a way to do this without com-promising their morals. Conservative morals are something that the Republican Party must con-tinue to live by, but minor changes or a deeper understanding of the current issues facing our na-
tion’s youth could lead to better results in 2016.I’m not saying that Republicans should abandon
their views on LGBTQA or abortion. These are is-sues that define the Republican Party, but it is also something that has divided our nation as a whole. Their views on social issues likely did not definitive-ly decided the election, but a more lenient stand on policies facing our country could result in several “swing states” going red in the next election.
Our nation’s demographics are ever-changing. The Republican Party did a poor job of appealing to minority voters as the majority of the “swing states” went Obama’s way as a result. Some Re-publicans have made efforts to limit immigration, alienating certain groups with similar interests and have refused to adapt to changes that have swept across the nation.
This unwillingness to adapt to change will con-tinue to hurt the Republican Party in the future. The party needs to keep its defining views intact, but the willingness to adapt to the ever-changing policies that our nation is facing is of utmost im-portance for future success.

Time for Republicans to consider change
COLUMN
This past week the School for Continu-ing Education sponsored a week of activi-ties that recognized nontraditional students at Eastern. We at The Daily Eastern News thought this was a great idea.
Beth Craig, the coordinator of program development for the School of Continu-ing Education, said in a Nov. 2 article that nontraditional students are usually older than 25 and often have many other respon-sibilities to deal with in addition to earning a college degree.
These responsibilities can include a sig-nificant other, children and working part- or full-time.
As college students, we are familiar with the challenges of earning a college degree. But most of us cannot imagine dealing with that challenge while simultaneously work-ing a full-time job and raising a family.
Most of the activities and programs on campus are often marketed toward typi-cal college students and young adults. This makes sense, since that is the majority of Eastern’s population, but we’re glad to see a smaller demographic at Eastern also receive attention.
It helps remind traditional college stu-dents how diverse their community is, and it helps a group of hardworking students feel more included despite everything else they are dealing with outside of Eastern.
We imagine that, while dealing with children or a full-time job, it would be easy to lose track of things regularly going on at Eastern. Nontraditional students may feel disconnected or separated with the rest of the university. Our staff would like to see each member of the Eastern community feeling welcomed and included. These type of events help make this ideal situation more of a reality.
That being said, there is no reason this type of inclusion should stop at special events. We encourage traditional and oth-er Eastern students to make an effort recog-nizing the nontraditional students they see every day.
This does not have to be anything spe-cial, but the regular courtesy and friend-ship one would extend a peer should also be extended to a nontraditional student. A small gesture such as introducing your-self and genuinely getting to know the oth-er person can go a long way.
Nontraditional students can be found in nearly every major, so most Eastern students probably have the opportunity to do this.
There is so much more to any university than just what is expected of a typical col-lege experience. We at The News are always happy when we see Eastern is no exception to that rule. As always, our community’s diversity should be celebrated, never stifled, and recognized, not forgotten.

As a part of Global Entrepreneur-ship Week, the Lumpkin School of Business and Applied Sciences will host the founder of a fair-trade company Monday.
Stacey Edgar, author of the book “Global Girlfriends” and founder of the company Global Girlfriend, will speak to students, faculty, staff and community members at 6:30 p.m. in Room 2030 of Lumpkin Hall.
Edgar, who published her book in April 2011, created her compa-ny in 2003 with her $2,000 tax re-turn.
The company itself sells items made by impoverished women at fair-trade prices. The company also donates part of the proceeds to “Campaign for Female Education in Africa.”
Edgar will speak about her expe-riences in creating her company and what inspired her to do so.
Cheryl Noll, chairperson of the Lumpkin School of Business and
Applied Sciences and organizer of the presentation, said she first heard of Edgar while listening to National Public Radio about two years ago.
“I heard an interview with her and thought ‘Wow, what an inter-esting person,’” Noll said.
Noll said after seeing Edgar’s name, it clicked who Edgar was, and Noll knew she wanted to have her come speak at Eastern.
“She will be talking about her ex-periences and how she made some-thing this big happen,” Noll said. “Here, we worry so much about business plans, and she did this whole thing without a business plan and not very much money.”
Noll said Edgar’s business falsifies one of the major beliefs concerning the business world today, by creat-ing a business to benefit impover-ished women.
“So many times, people associ-ate business with making money,” Noll said. “She made it her business to empower other women, and it is fantastic.”
She said she hopes people who
attend the presentation learn not only from Edgar’s business ac-complishments but her message as well.
“She was able to impact so many with so little,” Noll said. “It is a les-son to us all, even if you don’t think you can or will have an impact on someone, you can.”
Along with Monday’s presenta-tion to the public, Edgar will also be giving an invitation-only presen-tation earlier in the day. Copies of Edgar’s book will be for sale from 3 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Lumpkin Hall.
Edgar will be signing books after her presentation.
All of the events are free and the presentation is funded through the Lumpkin Endowment, which was created by the Lumpkin family, which also founded Consolidated Communications.
“It is a huge deal for us to bring someone of her caliber to come speak,” Noll said.

Board approves purchases, resolution revisions
By Robyn Dexter In-depth Editor
The Board of Trustees approved revisions to the Tarble Arts Center’s Resolution of Permanence and re-vised some of its own regulations at its meeting Friday.
Blair Lord, provots and vice presi-dent for academic affairs, said chang-es for the resolution have been brought up twice this semester.
“We’re in the process of prepar-ing for accreditation,” he said.
The Tarble Arts center follows American Alliance of Museum’s standards, and revisions had to be made accordingly in order to be re-
accredited. Michael Watts, the director of
the Tarble Arts Center, said the ac-creditation commission was asking for more specific language in the resolution, which led to the revi-sion.
He said it was important to have language in the resolution saying that the center is valued as part of the university for providing last-ing educational and intellectual re-sources.
Watts said he has heard of other institutions selling their collections and adding to the acquired money to their assets, and adding this lan-guage to the resolution can prevent this from happening in the future nationwide.
The board also added a new reg-ulation agreement to its meeting times.
Leo Welch, the vice chairman of
the Board of Trustees, said the mod-ification to the public comment section of the board meetings were made in order to be in compliance with other universities.
This particular proposal allows members of the public and employ-ees of the university to be afford-ed time to make comments or ask questions of the board at the end of each meeting.
“I surveyed public universities on their policies and proceedings re-garding public comments,” Welch said.
“In reviewing the board policy, we had a statement about a disput-ed topic that was being addressed elsewhere and was not eligible for public comments,” he said.
Welch said no other university has a restriction such as this, and the new proposal will put Eastern in compliance with other universities.
The Board will have a final vote on the proposal in January.
Dan Nadler, the vice president for student affairs, made a presen-tation to the board about campus and community, which highlighted the successes of Eastern’s students in terms of campus involvement and volunteerism.
President Bill Perry made a pre-sentation as well about program analysis, in which he talked about Eastern’s fiscal environment, declin-ing state funding and pension re-form.
He described to the board what the Steering Committee for Pro-gram Analysis plans to do and how a presentation will be made to the board in the future.
During committee reports, Rob-ert Webb, the chairman of the fi-nance and audit committee, an-nounced that Eastern had received
all of its funding it was owed by the state from FY 11 and FY 2012, which came out to about $5 mil-lion.
The board also approved two ma-jor purchases.
One was a fee of $247,000, which will be paid to exp U.S. Ser-vices for design services of a cam-pus-wide security system.
The other was a programming and membership fee for WEIU because of increased program-ming costs and will cost Eastern $225,000.
The Board of Trustees’ next meeting will take place at 1 p.m. on Jan. 18, 2013 in the Grand Ball-room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Five of those seven points came off the hot hand of Austin as he shot 5-of-8 from the field and 3-of-5 from behind the arch.
Austin finished the game with 13 points.
The Braves slowly pulled out of the Panthers’ reach, leading by as many as 27 points.
Eastern did its best to answer, as the Panthers went on a 10-0 run kick-started by junior guard Mor-ris Woods.
Senior guard Austin Akers hit back-to-back three-pointers during that run.
Woods led the Panthers on of-fense scoring 14 points, also adding
eight rebounds.The run was eventually stopped as
it became too late for the Panthers.For the game, Eastern shot 35
percent from the field, while Brad-ley shot 58 percent. A 10-point dif-ferential was had by Bradley on the glass as it out-rebounded Eastern 35-25. Bradley doubled Eastern in points in the paints 36-18 for the game.
The Panthers will host Wright State in their home-opener at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Lantz Arena.
Anthony Catezone can be reached at 581-2812 or [email protected].
While Eastern was struggling, the Sycamores’ star players were having big games — something Buchan-an’s scouting report of them showed they’d do.
Buchanan and his players said they’d have to defend the Syca-mores’ Anna Munn, Taylor Whitley and Rachael Mahan score in double figures in the game.
Munn led the team with 18 points, while Whitley had 14 points and five assists. Mahan finished
the game with a double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds.
“We didn’t do a good job defend-ing,” Buchanan said. “Those three players will shoot it. That’s the head of their monster.”
The head of Eastern’s monster, Nixon and senior forwards Mariah King and Sydney Mitchell, didn’t keep pace.
Nixon scored 12 points, but King only scored four on 2-of-5 shooting.
Mitchell came off the bench, still

Aside from Berens and Franklin, three other Panthers hit in double-digit kills. Freshman outside hitter Abby Saalfrank followed the upper-classmen with 12 kills off a .348 at-tack.
Two players had 11 kills, in ju-nior outside hitter Reynae Hutchin-son and red-shirt junior middle hitter Stephanie Arnold.
Freshman setter Marah Bradbury led all players with 59 assists, a new ca-reer-high for the Decatur, Ind., native.
Price said the offense had a good
showing, but struggling to get the ball to Bradbury at times worked in Bel-mont’s favor.
“I think we struggled to handle the ball,” Price said. “In our own gym, that’s not a good thing.”
“Our offense was pretty solid, but weren’t always able to get the ball to Marah (Bradbury) so we can distrib-ute evenly on offense and that allows them to set a block,” Price said. “They did a good job of keeping the ball on us and keeping the pressure on us.”
Eastern has less than a week to
bounce back and return to action against Belmont yet again.
The Panthers and Bruins are the first match of the OVC Tournament set for 10 a.m. Thursday, in More-head, Ky.
No. 1 overall seed Morehead State will play host in the postseason tour-ney where Eastern will take part for its first time since 2005.

Buses drove close to 200 students from Ike’s to the Illinois Ice Arena in Champaign to watch the Eastern hockey club take on the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign on Friday and Saturday.
After falling 3-2 in overtime in the late night contest Friday, the Panthers bounced back in the sec-ond game to split the series with a 6-4 win on Saturday.
In a back-and-forth game, the score was tied at 4-4 with just un-der six and a half minutes to play in
the game. The Panthers responded just a
minute later, adding another goal to make it 5-4 with just over five min-utes to play.
The Illini pulled its goalie in fa-vor of an extra skater with under a minute left, and Eastern added the insurance goal to seal the victory with a 6-4 win.
Junior Andrew Maronich said the overtime loss on Friday inspired the team to come out and perform on Saturday.
“I thought definitely the third period of the first game was kind of a motivation,” he said. “We played pretty well in that period, came back and tied it up, went to over-time. So, we knew we could play with them, we knew we could beat
them this game.” Maronich said the team fed off
the energy of the third period and carried it over into the second game.
Maronich also said beating rival Illinois is a huge win for the team.
“It’s big, especially here in front of all those fans,” he said. “There’s a senior on our team who says he hasn’t beaten U of I in all five years he’s been here. It was huge. All the boys are pretty excited.”
Maronich said the amount of fan support was a definite factor in the Saturday night win.
“We knew that (the fans) were coming out, we knew we were go-ing to have support,” he said. “They got here kind of late, so they missed the first goal. But we definitely fed
off their energy.”He said the fans were a large part
of the team’s win.“We knew that they were there.
They made themselves loud and clear,” Maronich said. “And def-initely, no doubt about it, they were part of the win. It was defi-nitely nice to have them here and definitely nice to give them the W.”
With the split this weekend, the
club’s record is now 6-5-1. The next matchup for the team
will be against another in-state op-ponent, Northern Illinois.
The two teams will play a two-game series, starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Dekalb.

Fan support carries team to away winHOCKEY

The Panther men and women swim teams were outraced against the Ball State Cardinals, losing their home opener by respective scores of 169-93 and 150-108.
The men fall to 0-3 with the lat-est defeat while the women fall to 1-3 for the sseason.
Ball State came out of the gates fast winning nine out of the first 10 races.
What started as an energized side-line for the Eastern swim teams soon changed to a dejected sideline.
It was not until the seventh event in the women’s 100-yard backstroke that the home crowd had something to cheer about.
Sophomore Mackenzie Ander-son electrified her teammates and the Eastern fans by setting a new pool record in the event with a time of 58.29.
Head coach Elliott McGill said that moment shined for the women
in the team’s first home meet.“Mackenzie Anderson’s pool re-
cord really stood out, especially since she tip-toed the school record as well,” McGill said.
As the afternoon quickly turned to evening, the Eastern swimmers con-tinued to see the Cardinals finish in first place.
The tide turned during the 50-yard freestyle, where senior Colin McGill made his teammates cheer once again with a first place finish, holding off Cole Smith from Ball State.
McGill held off Smith by .07 of a second, finishing the race at 22.08.
The good vibes continued as in the next race as freshman Kaylee Morris won the 100-free by almost a full sec-ond with a finishing time of 54.01.
“We saw really good times even when we didn’t win a race,” McGill said. “Kelli DiCanio’s 200-breast, Olga Livshits’ 200-individual medley and Mary Lacine’s 200-Free were all very solid in-season times for us.”
Lacine, a junior, did win the 200-individual medley with a time of
2:16.09 and was joined in the win-ner’s circle by fellow junior teammate Kate Paige.
Paige came away with a first-place finish in the 100-buttefly with a time of 1:00.04.
The women’s team ended the meet with 14 top-three finishes.
Alongside with Colin McGill’s vic-tory, the coach said he was also im-pressed with senior Chacour Koop, as he said Koop put up some really good in-season times.
Koop p laced s econd in the 200-backstroke finishing the race at 1:58.09.
“Overall the meet went very well,” McGill said. “Our kids came in very tired, but swam very well.”
Eastern will return to action at the multi-squad House of Champions meet being hosted by IUPUI in In-dianapolis. The event will begin on Nov. 30 and will run through Dec. 2.

The scene was set. It was Senior Night for the Eastern volleyball team. It was the regular-season finale.
The Panthers had perhaps their most dramatic match of the season, taking Ohio Valley Conference new-comer Belmont all five sets.
The Bruins left Lantz Arena with the win (21-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-19, 15-11), solidifying the No. 3 seed in their first ever OVC Tournament. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ loss meant they would remain the No. 6 seed in the postseason tourney, their first ap-pearance since 2005.
Also on Senior Night, the Panthers had a taste of what they will see come Thursday, as Eastern and Belmont will square off again in the first round of the OVC Tournament.
“It’s definitely a very emotion-al time,” senior middle hitter Alison
Berens said. “I did tear up a couple times, but I guess that’s what I expect-ed. The outcome of the game kind of stinks, but now we know what’s com-ing at us in the tournament on Thurs-day.”
Eastern finished the year with an 11-20 overall record and an even 8-8 in league play. As for Belmont, it had a successful first year in the OVC, fin-ishing with a 15-15 overall mark and 11-6 in conference.
It was only fitting that on Senior Night, seniors Berens and outside hit-ter Emily Franklin led the team in kills with 17 and 15, respectively.
Berens’ 17 put-aways set her a new career-high, as she hit behind a game-high .467 attack.
“It was definitely nice to go out with a bang,” the team captain said. “Unfortunately, the whole team couldn’t have brought it together at the very end. I’m proud of everyone on the team and how the season has
gone so far.”Head coach Kate Price had similar
feelings about sending her seniors off in such a dramatic way at Lantz Are-na. However, she said she knows her team and its seniors aren’t finished yet.
“Any game with these ladies is a good one,” Price said. “The toughest thing is losing in five sets at home.”
“At the same time, it’s not our last match. We are still going to contin-ue on into the OVC Tournament. I’m upset seeing these ladies leave us, but at the same time I’m excited to see what they’re going to do in the fu-ture,” she said.
Despite the loss, the Panthers out-hit the Bruins .257 to .234 for the match and outscored them in points, 81 to 75.
Price said the Panthers’ downfall could have been because of them hav-ing seven more errors than the Bruins, 26 to 19.

A late first-half run by Bradley put them over the top of the East-ern’s men’s basketball team, putting a damper on the season opener of the Jay Spoonhour era.
The Panthers fell to the Braves 76-53 in Peoria.
Tyshon Pickett played the role of Panther-killer as he scored a game-high 23 points.
His effort was the difference in the score. Pickett added eight re-bounds to his stat sheet.
Pickett was the driving force in the first half as the Braves used his 16 points to pull away from the Panthers and open doors on the non-conference match up.
Bradley began the night on a 7-2 run, but a basket by junior guard Morris Woods and a three-point-er from freshman guard Alex Aus-tin knotted the game at seven, four minutes into play.
The Panthers quickly found an offensive rhythm as they broke out to a 15-9 lead off an 8-2 run capped by sophomore forward Josh Piper with 13:24 left in the first half.
A t imeout by Brad l ey then opened up the game in the Braves’ favor once again, only this time they never looked back.
A bucket by Will Egolf sparked a 14-2 Braves run as Bradley led 23-16 with seven minutes remaining in the first half.
Austin did his best to end that run with two points of his own. However, Pickett then reeled off six straight points, as Bradley went into the half with a commanding 38-22 lead.
The Braves shot 58 percent from floor in the first half, compared to Eastern’s 37 percent.
Eastern cut the Bradley lead to 11, as it opened the second half on a 7-2 run.

The Eastern women’s basket-ball team hadn’t been held under 40 points in a game in more than a decade, at least, but in new head coach Lee Buchanan’s debut game, the Panthers scored 39.
The Panthers were 4-of-25 from the field in the first half and 1-of-9 from the free throw line as they went into the half trailing Indiana State 36-9.
The deficit was too much too overcome, let alone too steep to reach 40 points by the end of the game.
Had the Panthers reached 40 points, they’d be in a little bit better company — even in a loss.
The lowest scoring Panther team in recent memory was when they scored 41 points against Southeast Missouri on Feb. 14, 2008.
They lost that game, but the dif-ference was that they held the Red-hawks to 46 points.
The Sycamores offense was work-ing on Friday, scoring 69 points to cap a 30-point win to open the sea-son.
“It’s not rocket science,” Buchan-an said. “You have to put the ball in the hole. We’re not going to win unless we make shots.”
Some part of Buchanan may have seen this coming, saying on Thurs-day that it’s hard to make shots in Indiana State’s arena.
The Panthers haven’t shot the ball well in most of their recent games in Terre Haute, Ind.
“It’s a huge, huge arena,” Buchan-an said. “We don’t play in those size arenas. The background is different (behind the backboard).”
Only senior guard Ta’Kenya Nix-on reached double figures in scor-ing Friday night, recording 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the floor.
Maybe the arena and the Pan-thers’ history against Indiana State had something to do with the poor outing, but the Sycamores weren’t slouches on defense either.
“Their defense was in our shorts and wouldn’t let us get off open looks,” Buchanan said. “The hard part of it is we didn’t make free throws.”
The Panthers were 5-of-16 from the free throw line, while Indi-ana State went 13-of-19 to help its cause.
