After months of closure, the Will Rogers Theatre has been purchased by a local theater company with the intent of re-storing it to its original state.

Operators of the Majes t ic Theatre in Streator and Otta-wa nativesTim Burke and James and Katie Troccoli purchased the Will Rogers Theatre.

The Will Rogers Theatre was closed in the summer of 2010 af-ter being vacated by AMC En-tertainment Inc.

Katie Troccoli said the group plans to undergo less of a reno-vation project and instead focus more so on restoring the theater to its original grandeur.

“We’re very much preserva-tionists,” she said. “We want to make it back into a movie

palace.”Troccoli said the group, who

has been running the Majestic for two and a half years, was also seeking another venue to ex-pand upon their business as well as increase their buying power with studios for purchasing mov-ie titles.

“We’ve been looking for a place when we walked through (the Will Rogers Theatre), and it was a solid and sturdy structure,” she said. “It’s in a great town, and it seemed like a good fit.”

Katie Troccoli, said Burke, who now lives in Hollywood, had an interest in preserving the theater because his grandfather was a projectionist there.

“He had a great attachment to the building,” she said.

Troccoli said the group will have a “mix of media,” including both movies and local and na-tional live acts, once the theater has been restored.

“We will put up a large screen for the movies, the way it was meant to be seen,” she said.

Will Rogers Theatre to be restored

A journalism professor spoke to the Faculty Senate on Tuesday to discuss possible ethical issues in higher education.

Leslie Hyder, a journalism professor and the Eastern representative for the Illinois Board of Higher Education Faculty Advisory Committee, requested information that could potentially help the committee determine whether the staff of the Illinois Office of the Executive Inspector General have acted unethically in state universities.

Grant Sterling, associate professor of philosophy and member of the Faculty Senate, said the state of Illinois has recently required state universities to pay a full-time state official to sort through re-quests for learning materials from Eastern instruc-tors.

Hyder said the reports have suggested that procurement officers have acted unethically allegedly by denying learning materials to in-structors based off the idea or purpose of the activity versus state rules.

Hyder said other incidents include the seiz-ing of faculty computers and records for a pro-longed period of time with no prior notice that has lead faculty members to have limited access to information required for class or research material.

Other incidents include faculty members re-quests for materials resulting in delays of re-search projects and grants, as well as previous-ly proffered vendors for learning materials re-fusing to submit bids for providing supplies be-cause of the hassle, Hyder said.

“The other issue is the state’s procurement rules,” Sterling said.

Because of the state’s procurement rules, Hy-der said the Student Affairs office and various academic departments have had trouble invit-ing guest speakers and performers.

Andrew Methven, a professor of biologi-cal sciences and chairman of the Faculty Sen-ate, said from the adverse effects for students include a delay in the purchasing of necessary technological equipment that could have an impact on a student’s education.

“At this point we are going to send a memo to the Council of Chairs,” Methven said. “I think it’s something the chairs should discuss.”

Methven said the department chairs are more aware of procurement rules since department chairs are the ones who sign-off for requests for new materials and because of this, they are more knowledgeable about any possible ethical prob-lems with procurement officers or rules.

Hyder said in a memo to the Faculty Senate is encouraging members to discuss possible ethical problems with their colleagues in order to bring possible problems to the attention of the Faculty Advisory Committee.

“It is not F.A.C.’s intent to challenge the ex-istence of a need for O.E.I.G. We simply want to determine if O.E.I.G.’s activities and role are having unintended or counterproductive con-sequences that warrant additional legislative re-view of its mandate or operations.”

NIKE OGUNBODEDE| THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSLab rooms on the third and fourth floor of the Physical Science Build-ing were vandalized. The damage was discovered on Nov. 18. This is an on-going investigation by the chemistry department and the University Police.

By Elizabeth Edwards News Editor

Police are investigating the van-dalism of the chemistry labs on the third and fourth floor of the Physical Sciences building, which happened on Friday, said an Eastern adminis-trator.

William Weber, vice president for business affairs, said on Tuesday the damage to the laboratory equipment is considerable and some faculty and student research materials were de-stroyed.

Weber would not go into detail about the exact dollar amount of the damage or what items were damaged, but he said the university faculty and administrators are currently in the process of accessing all the damages.

At this point in the investigation, Weber said no items have been stolen from the labs and the damage appears to be pure vandalism.

The University Police Department is leading the investigation with the Charleston Police Department assist-ing.

Gary Reed, director of Facili-ties Planning and Management said building service workers have changed the locks of the exterior of the building and interior doors of the

chemistry labs for security reasons. Weber would not comment on any additional security measures the uni-versity is taking.

Weber also said the chemistry labs are restricted from the public because of the possible hazardous materials and safety concerns. No specific date has been announced when the labs will be reopened, he said.

The chemistry department would not comment on the vandalism.

Weber said students and pro-fessors have every right to be upset about the senseless acts of vandalism that destroyed the research materials that faculty and students worked very hard on.

The investigation into the vandal-ism is ongoing and police are asking for any information from the public to provide tips to assist in the inves-tigation.

Anybody who has informa-tion should call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-345-8488, text “crimeleads” to 274637, or call the University Police Department at 217-581-3212.

This year marks the fourth annual Red Week, aimed toward educating students and making them aware of HIV/AIDS.

Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day, and in effort to raise money for HIV/AIDS treatment and pre-vention, New Student Programs and Student Community Service have organized the Red Show.

The event will take place at 7 p.m.— doors open at 6 p.m.— in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Cordy Love, the assistant director of New Student Programs, said they hope to get 300-400 students, faculty and staff to attend the Red Show on Thursday.

Tickets are on sale at the door for $5.All proceeds go to HIV/AIDS treatment and

prevention, Love said.Amanda Messinger, the assistant director of

Student Community Service, said the event is a combination of education and entertainment for students.

“It’s a whole wide variety of different acts

such as singers, step performances and students sharing poems and stories,” Messinger said.

The evening is an hour or two-long show, al-ternating between talents of the T-shirt models and educating the students about HIV/AIDS, Messinger said.

“The Red Show offers a variety of student tal-ents, 13 plus students,” Love said.

There is also a T-shirt contest where students have signed up to show their support for HIV/AIDS awareness.

“The student has to take a large men’s T-shirt and create it into whatever they want,” Mess-inger said. “It’s pretty impressive what some of these students come up with.”

Messinger said 70 student models participat-ing in the T-shirt contest.

“The T-shirt contest is a way for students to show their support in a creative way,” Messing-er said.

Messinger said they are always looking for students to come and show their support and learn more about HIV/AIDS.

“It’s a fun event to come to— it’s like a vari-ety show and a good way to sit back, have a fun and get a break from studying,” Messinger said.

Messinger said there will also be information on how to get tested and the Health Education Resource Center will be there talking about safe sex.

“It's important to make sure students are well aware of HIV/AIDS for health concerns as well as supporting a cause that affects many individ-uals worldwide,” Love said.

In preparation for Red Week and the Red Show, Love said they have been working with a variety of student organizations to assist them in certain aspects.

“(We will be) setting up the Quilt Square with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority Inc. as well as minor-ity students,” Love said.

Love said they have also been working with Health Services for Face of AIDS and Candle Light March as well as the Wesley Foundation to help develop the red ribbons.

“I believe being knowledgeable about this world disease will benefit not just students but our campus community,” Love said.

RIVERWOODS, Ill. (AP) — A medical transport plane crashed in suburban Chicago, killing three of the five people on board, includ-ing the patient being brought to Illinois, author-ities said Tuesday.

The small plane went down just before 11 p.m. Monday in Riverwoods, about 25 miles northwest of Chicago, just a few miles from its destination at Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling.

The plane, owned by Trans North Aviation, was carrying patient John Bialek, 80, of Stream-wood and his 75-year-old wife, Ilomae Bialek, as well as a flight paramedic and two pilots, ac-cording to Ron Schaberg, the aviation compa-ny's president.

Lake County Coroner Artis Yancey identified the third victim as William Didier, 58, of Ce-dar Grove, Wis. Didier is believed to have been the pilot, based on his position in the plane and identification found with him, Yancey said.

The plane had just passed a safety inspection

and the crash was the first in the company's 33-year history, Schaberg said.

Didier's wife, Connie Didier, said her hus-band took his first solo flight at 16 and had been a pilot for more than 30 years.

"He's very thorough," she said. "Sometimes, he was obnoxiously thorough."

The pilot told air traffic controllers that the plane, which had taken off from Georgia, was having a fuel problem before it crashed, accord-ing to Elizabeth Isham Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

K AROLINA STR ACK | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS Ava Kor, Holocaust survivor, talks about her experience at Auschwitz concentration camp with her twin sister and their forced participation in medical studies carried out by Dr. Josef Mengele on Tuesday evening in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS Khiara Mills, a junior health studies major, recites a poem she wrote called “Unprotected” during the Faces of AIDS Open Mic Night in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union's 7th Street Underground on Tuesday.

RED WEEK

By Jaime Lopez Staff Reporter

The chants of students filled the 7th Street Underground as they listened to performers express their views on HIV/AIDS through poetry, music and dance.

Jennifer Cannon, a graduate student, is the founder of the minority student health organization, which helped orga-nize the event.

“We wanted to inform others about the HIV virus, hopefully they will take something from this and educate oth-ers,” Cannon said.

Khelan Todd, a senior communica-tions studies major, was one of the per-formers with the fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha.

Todd said music is an important ele-ment when it comes to educating oth-ers, especially in the African-American community.

“HIV is a prominent issue in the eyes of minorities it is important to ed-ucate others through events that are en-tertaining; art has the power to touch upon the most sensitive of subjects’” Todd said.

Brandon Woods, a junior sociolo-gy major, said HIV/AIDS is important, and people must educate themselves even it is through art.

“Art is the gateway into the soul; you can touch somebody and pass on knowledge through music,” Woods said.

Ashanti Gardner, a senior psycholo-gy major, read a poem for the audience.

“There are facts out there, but art

in general can do so much more, peo-ple can sympathize and motivate them-selves to learn more about the topic,” Gardner said.

Khiara Mills, a junior health studies major also read a poem that highlight-ed women’s perspective on HIV/AIDS.

“I want to empower women and let them know, sometimes love can be blinding; it gets the best of us,” Mills said.

Osiris Johnson, a senior marketing major, shared a personal poem with the audience members.

“My grandfather died of AIDS, so it is my duty to share my experience with the disease. The disease is prevalent among African Americans, and that’s another reason for me to educate oth-ers,” Mills said.

Tykiena Hoover, a junior music ed-

ucation major, sang an uplifting gospel hymn.

“So many people get caught up in drugs, drinking and sex; Jesus is the best way to go,” Hoover said.

Hoover also expressed her thoughts on the power of music.

“Music spreads love and support; the love and support we feel for those af-fected with HIV,” Hoover said.

Students promoted a warm environ-ment, while sharing their concerns re-garding HIV/AIDS.

“ I feel a sense of brotherhood know-ing that we can all come together and listen to each other; it takes a lot to sit and listen to people talk about some-thing like HIV,” Johnson said.

Students express thoughts on HIV, AIDS through art

By Nike Ogunbodede Campus Editor

A hush fell over the crowded ball-room as Eva Mozes Kor—a frail, short woman—spoke of her incred-ible strength and perseverance in her months in Auschwitz.

Kor, 77, was 10 years old when she and her twin sister, Miriam, were tak-en to the Nazi death camp from their home in Romania.

Kor separated her lecture into three parts: her survival of Auschwitz, her life lessons and questions from the audi-ence.

Her story began with stepping onto the platform at Auschwitz.

“As soon as we stepped down from the cattle car, my mother dragged my twin sister and me by the hand hoping that as long as she could hold onto us that she could protect us,” Kor said.

This was not the case, Kor said.“As I was standing there in my child-

ish curiosity, I suddenly realized that my father and my two older sisters disap-peared in the crowd,” Kor said. “I never again saw them.”

Taken from their mother after she confirmed to the officers that she and Miriam were in fact twins, Kor said

“My mother didn’t know what to say. She asked ‘is that was good’ and the Nazi nodded yes,” Kor said.

Kor said she can still recall her moth-er’s face as the Nazi guards pulled them in opposing directions.

“I remember looking back and see-ing my mother’s arms stretched out in despair towards us,” Kor said. “I nev-er got to say goodbye to her—I didn’t know that this would be the last time we would see her.”

Kor said it only took 30 minutes for her and Miriam to be separated from their entire family.

The twins were able to keep short hair—instead of being shaven bald—and keep their own clothes, which Kor said she did not realize until later were special privileges.

After she was deemed uncooperative during the registration process, Kor said she had to be physically restrained by “two Nazi and two female prisoners,” in order to properly “burn” A-70603 into her left arm.

The ink has never faded, Kor said.Miriam and her both were liberated

by the Soviet Army on Jan. 27, 1945—three days before their 11th birthday.

Miriam died of cancer on June 6, 1993 and Kor said she is convinced that it has something to do with the tests done on Miriam in Auschwitz.

Forgiveness was also a topic in her lecture.

Kor has publicly forgiven Hans Munch, a Nazi doctor, as well as Josef Mengele, who preformed gruesome eugenic experiments on the twins in Auschwitz.

Kor met with Munch in 1993, when a Boston College professor asked her to bring a Nazi to a lecture at the college about Nazi medicine.

“I said ‘excuse me, a Nazi doctor where on Earth do you think I can find one of those guys’,” Kor said.

Kor said Munch—then 82— could not go to the conference, but wanted to meet with her and would allow their meeting to be video recorded.

“You have no idea how nervous I was. What I remember of Nazi doc-tors I didn’t really want to experience again,” Kor said. “But, I was curious about what I might learn about our ex-periments.”

Kor said Munch was respectful, kind and forthcoming with answers, includ-ing detailing how the gas chambers worked verbally and in a signed docu-ment.

“There was no gas coming from the showerheads—the showerheads were there simply as a camouflage—a hatch-like vent opened in the ceiling and zyk-lon b looks like pelts of gravel (on the floor),” Kor said. “The gas was actually rising from the floor.”

Once everyone was dead, Munch would sign death certificates with amount of people killed, Kor said.

These are the only accounts of how the chambers worked, Kor said.

“So if anyone every said there were no gas chambers in Auschwitz,” Kor said. “Then, I could take that piece of paper and shove it in their face.”

After visiting Munch in Germany in July 1993, Kor took months to come up with a thank you gift, which she sent in the form of a forgiveness letter.

Susan Kaufman, her professor and a former Eastern journalism professor, proofread the letter and later asked Kor to consider forgiving Josef Mengele as well.

“I realized that I the little victim of almost 50 years had the power, not only to forgive Dr. Munch, but to forgive Dr. Mengele,” Kor said. “Once I for-gave Mengele, I forgave everybody.”

Before break, I drew a cartoon suggesting that the Penn State football program had been read-ing out of the Catholic Church’s playbook. Two letters expressed outrage at the comparison, and said that the cartoon was harmful to the victims. A student wrote, “ It is time to honor and re-spect the victims of these terrible actions by put-ting the actions behind us so that they can move on with their lives without fear of being linked to current crimes.”

The EIU Knights of Columbus wrote: “This cartoon opens wounds that may never heal for those who have had unspeakable acts committed against them.”

It must take more effort to ignore the paral-lels between the crimes of the church and those of the Penn State football program. The recent accusations laid against Bernie Fine, the assistant head basketball coach at Syracuse, portray a cul-ture of complicity in NCAA sports that makes the comparison even more apt.

If we heard the report without any identifying details, what would we assume from these facts:

Young boys, many of them under-privileged or from broken families, entered a youth pro-gram and established connections with a caring, father-like figure who, it turned out, was a pe-dophile. For many years, this man exploited the trust of those around him to get the boys alone and rape them. When the organization became aware of it, either through a victim or a con-cerned member of the organization, the accusa-tion was silenced to protect the organization as a whole, allowing the child rapist to continue vio-lating boys.

Before Penn State, any thinking person would assume the child rapist was a Catholic priest. I think the comparison is unfair to the NCAA in-

cidents. At both Penn State and Syracuse, the rapists were protected by the denialism, the sys-tematic rejection of evidence, of those in charge. This does not exonerate any of them; their si-lence should be considered both moral and legal complicity.

But the Catholic Church knew the truth, knew its ranks were plagued with serial child rap-ists, and did everything in its power to protect them. Pedophiles were transferred or promot-ed to new positions within the church, some-times into positions that allowed them to contin-ue their unspeakable deeds. Church authorities at every level participated in a cover-up that put the reputation of the church ahead of the lives of children, including Pope Benedict XVI.

Back then he was Cardinal Joseph Ratzing-er, head of the “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith” (formerly known as the Inquisition). Ratzinger wrote and disseminated a letter, un-der his authority as a Cardinal, informing mem-bers of the church that it was a crime against the Pope and God to talk about pedophile priests with anyone outside the church. When confront-ed with the confession of Stephen Kiesle, a Cali-fornia priest, that he had tied up and raped chil-dren, Ratzinger did not defrock him, despite Kiesle’s personal request to be defrocked. The

secular American justice system convicted Kiesle, and after his release he was allowed to return to the church as a youth minister.

I would not ask Catholics to be accountable for the history of the church. They place their faith in the Catholicism and Christ, not in pa-pal decree. It would be ridiculous to ask them to defend the Crusades, the Inquisition, the perse-cution of Jews, the subjugation of women and the promotion of homophobia that composes so much of the Vatican’s legacy. But if the Knights of Columbus wish to speak on behalf of the church in the context of these crimes, they might begin with a thoughtful apology.

One can be a Penn State fan or a faithful Catholic, still call a rapist a rapist, and demand justice be done.

What cannot be allowed to pass, however, is the notion that “moving on” is in the best in-terest of the victims. Silence always protects the guilty.

It was silence that protected Jerry Sandusky. It was silence that protected Bernie Fine. It was si-lence that protected clergymen across the nation as they raped at least 5,000 children, according to the John Jay Report.

When the silence of the victims of the ped-erast priests was first broken, thousands more found the courage to speak out.

If there is one single victim of rape who has been hushed into silence, we must all, as hu-man beings, tell him we will listen and pay at-tention. We must be the ones who refuse to say, “Get over it.”

After months of being closed, the historic Will Rogers Theatre has been bought by a pri-vate company and will be brought back to life.

We congratulate the Save the Will Rogers grassroots group for diligently working to have the theater restored and making sure someone purchased the theater.

The grassroot group is a perfect example of community members coming together to achieve something the community desperate-ly wants.

Back when AMC Entertainment Inc. vacat-ed the theater, the grassroot group quickly formed to ensure their cherished theater would not disappear.

They created a Facebook group to get the word out and so far the Facebook group has 587 members.

Founder of the group Tom Vance posted on Facebook after learning of the purchase, “The incredible architecture of the Will and great local support brought us the perfect buyer.” He also said he plans to turn the Facebook page over to the new owners.

Operators of the Majestic Theatre in Streator and Ottawa natives Tim Burke and husband and wife James and Katie Trocco-li have decided to invest in this cherished piece of Charleston.

We welcome the new owners to the com-munity and thank them for investing in a landmark that means so much to our com-munity. The new owners will restore the the-ater to its former glory and have promised that they will not cut corners in the restoration of the theater.

Will Rogers Theatre opened its doors back in 1938 and began providing residents with cherish memories. Now the tradition will con-tinue. The theater was placed on the register of historic places in 1984.

Once the theater is restored it will include a mix of media including both movies and local and national live acts.

The new situation is truly a win-win situa-tion for everyone in the community.

The Charleston square is a historic down-town people too often take for granted. As the years go by, they take landmarks with them. The recent decision to close the post office is the most recent example the degradation his-torical landmarks.

We encourage students to go to the histor-ical theater when it opens and experience a piece of Charleston history.

This is not just an important part of Charleston history, this theater means a lot to residents who grew up with the Will Rogers.

Will Rogers is a part of the social life of the community. Some of the supporters on the Facebook recount taking their sweethearts to see the newest black-and-white movie and catching their first smooch in these same walls.

To those cynics who would put econom-ic concerns above the preservation of local her-itage, fear not. Troccoli said they will be hiring local people as soon as it opens.

support for Obama, was a joke. It might as well have been a staged publicity stunt. Many had never seen the presidential office made out to be such a mockery as they did during the last election.

Do I even want to waste my vote this time around? Maybe. Can’t wait to see who steps forward this election. In Monday’s edition of The DEN, there was an article about a lob-byists who used political privileges to get his children’s tuition waived from school. It most certainly is not the first example of a politi-cian abusing his power.

So now comes campaign time, where every-thing gets nasty. It’s the time when we prove that we’re a scattered nation that cannot work together. The airwaves will turn into episodes of Jerry Springer every time election news comes on. We are already hearing about Her-man Cain’s alleged sexual harassment.

The candidates can show how immature they are while still making sure not to press the boundaries too far past the point of de-

cency as they accuse each other of multi-ple incompetencies. After they attack one an-other’s credibility, they can move on to more pressing issues, such as where they stand on abortion or gun control, as if something will magically change the fact that those issues go nowhere and cannot be effectively dealt with.

These issues are a waste of time when we have so many other problems. A repeat of the last election will surely make us the laughing stock of the world. We don’t vote for leaders, we vote for children in expensive suits dis-guised as someone who looks like they know what they are talking about, when in reali-

ty they simply have enough money to spend driving around the country preaching to peo-ple while they know nothing about what it means to be poor or unemployed or strug-gling.

When will be the day we have a candi-date that knows what its like to be us? A real citizen? The answer is never, because some-one like that wasn’t born with a silver spoon in hand. I’ll give it to Obama, he actual-ly worked his way to the top, but somewhere near the end of the ladder he forgot what it really means to be hanging on to the bottom rung.

That’s more than I can say for most poli-ticians who never knew what it meant to be hanging on by a thread. Let the battle begin. It’s just around the corner. At least the news conglomerates will have something to report on right? To me it’s just monkey business.

From best friends to enemies, two roommates have had enough of each other.

Ashley and Lindsey were best friends until they lived with each other this se-mester.

“We have different lifestyles,” said Lindsey, a sophomore.

At Eastern, students are given a roommate survey with their housing contracts that is supposed to match some personality traits and lifestyles.

Less than half of Eastern’s residents request a specific roommate.

Sixty percent of the students living in on-campus housing are given room-mates based on surveys given with the housing contracts.

The common questions on the sur-vey focus on smoking, sleeping, clean-ing and study habits.

“Some of those things are common sense,” said Mark Hudson, director of University Housing and Dinning. “If you are allergic to smoke, you can’t live with someone who smokes.”

These questions were also includ-ed in the roommate surveys given by Southern Illinois University at Ed-wardsville.

Lindsay Partlow, a receptionist for the office of housing and dining at Eastern and one of the people who matches roommates, said they based their questions on ones people com-monly asked.

By living together, Ashley and Lind-sey found out new things about each other and found that they are not com-patible roommates.

Ashley, a sophomore, said she be-lieves they developed their hatred for each other because she believes Lind-sey’s personality has changed since they started living together.

Ashley said Lindsey spends all of her time with her boyfriend, putting him first and has stopped spending time with her friends.

“She spends every waking moment of her life with her boyfriend, putting her friends behind him,” Ashley said.

Lindsey spends so much time with her boyfriend that he is also in the room for long periods of time, Ashley said.

Ashley said Lindsey’s boyfriend has been sleeping in the room on many oc-casions.

Lindsey said she felt Ashley would

just get mad because she would not al-ways spend time with her and that Ash-ley felt neglected.

“She would get annoyed when he was in the room so it made me almost move out,” Lindsey said.

A problem both roommates had with each other was an issue of mutu-al respect.

Lindsey said Ashley does not respect her when it came to having friends in the room.

She said she has asked Ashley to stop having some of her friends in their room because she did not trust them.

“Although it is up to her who she is friends with, I don’t like certain people in my room around my stuff,” Lindsey said. “The people she hangs out with are shady and I feel they will steal some-thing while she’s not looking. People are not to be trusted in my room with my stuff.”

Lindsey said one time Ashley told her she was going to be bringing over two of her guy friends who had been in trouble before.

Lindsey said she specifically asked Ashley to keep them out of their room, but Ashley disrespected her wishes.

Ashley said she feels that Lindsey has been disrespectful to her by always bringing her boyfriend into the room.

Both roommates complained about the messiness in the room, and each blames the other.

Ashley said, “She seems to always miss her mouth when she eats and drops food everywhere.”

But Lindsey said she has found Ashley’s dirty clothes under her bed, in the middle of the floor and on her dresser.

She also said she feels awkward having friends in the room and hates when she has to explain the mess.

“I like things to be clean and orga-nized I feel as if I am her maid,” Lind-sey said.

An issue for Lindsey is that she said she feels she cannot study in the room.

Trust issues have also come from their roommate conflicts.

“During our fight we did not trust each other and I’ve even started taken my keys to the shower in fear she was going to lock me out of the room,” Lindsey said.

Lindsey said she cannot study in the room because Ashley will come in and out with friends that she has just met.

The dislike between the two room-mates has grown since rooming to-gether.

“She is aware that I don’t like her, and, in return, does not like me,” Ash-ley said.

Lindsey said she thought things would turn out differently.

“I thought rooming with my best friend was going to make this the best year ever. Little did I know I am mis-erable and I lost my best friend,” Lind-sey said.

Hudson said that while these ques-tions are meant to match people on some personality traits, they cannot match everything perfectly.

Hudson said topics such as music tastes and moral issues are not asked in the surveys because it would be impos-sible to match roommates.

“We’re not like eHarmony.com where we are trying to find your soul mate,” Hudson said.

Partlow said the more questions that are asked the harder it is to match roommates.

Craig Eckert, the professor and chair of sociology/anthropology, said the traits that the roommate survey in-cludes are basic things that are impor-tant to matching anyone’s personality. The survey contains questions that are important when matching room-mates with one another, Eckert said. Though he also said opposite can at-tract too.

“It doesn’t seem logical to match someone who goes to sleep early with someone who goes to bed late,” Eck-ert said.

Eckert said one of the benefits of having a different roommate that is different is the learning that goes along with it.

He said by dealing with roommates that are different, students learn how to deal with conflict in the workplace. Those that do get along get the benefit of learning from different areas, such as music, religion or hobbies.

Hudson said that while they en-courage roommates to talk and try to work things out, if things are beyond a point of fixing things they can re-quest a room switch.

When roommates have a prob-lem that they cannot solve, they can go through the process to get their rooms switched.

Ashley said she does not want to switch rooms because she has many friends on the floor and does not want to move away from them.

Lindsey said she felt differently. She said she talked with her RA and has started the process of changing roommates and rooms.

“I asked to be put in a double as a single,” Lindsey said. “As soon as a room opens up I’m out.”

Friends turn to enemies Roommates in conflict turn against each other

STUDENT SENATE

Senate schedules speaker electionsBy Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

A bond revenue presentation, a resolution for Head Football Coach Bob Spoo and student senate speak-er elections are scheduled for the Student Senate’s last meeting of the semester today.

Mark Hudson, the director of housing and dining, said he will present the bond revenue presenta-tion to update the Student Senate on the work the six bond revenue members have done.

“The Bond Revenue Commit-tee is made of three students from student government and three from RHA, and these students have met throughout the semester to estab-lish what the new room and board rates will be for next year,” Hudson said.

Roberto Luna, a senior finance major and student senate member, is the chairman for the Bond Rev-enue Committee, and he said the room and board rate has increased by 3.25 percent, which is 0.25 per-cent less than last year’s increase of 3.5 percent. He said the total bud-get is about $25 million.

The increase comes from a com-bination of expenses such as infla-tion with the cost of food and labor, Hudson said.

Luna said some changes included in determining the room and board rate are expanding campus band-width for a faster Internet connec-tion and allocating funds to add sprinkler systems to McKinney Hall, Ford Hall and Weller Hall.

“Last year we decided to save money by taking the phones out of the residence halls, and those des-ignated savings will be used for ex-panding the bandwidth,” Luna said.

A bond revenue update will also be presented at the Residence Hall

Association meeting on Thursday at 5 p.m., Hudson said.

After this week, the room and board rate determined by the Bond Revenue Committee will be pre-sented to Daniel Nadler, the vice president for student affairs. Then it will go to President Bill Perry and will be presented to the Board of Trustees in January for a vote.

A resolution for Spoo will also be discussed at the Student Senate meeting.

Student Body President Ed Ho-twagner, a senior mathematics ma-jor, said the resolution is from stu-dent government executives and student senators to thank Spoo for his 25 years of dedication to the university.

“We felt that this resolution rep-resenting the student body was the proper thing to do to acknowledge all that Spoo has done for Eastern and the community,” Hotwagner said. “We want to give him a fare-well by appreciating and respecting all of his involvement.”

Luna said he thought the reso-lution would be effective in com-memorating Spoo’s time and effort.

Student senate speaker elections will also occur at the meeting.

Zach Samples, a sophomore his-tory major, is the only candidate who announced running for the position.

Hotwagner said nominations are done during the meeting so more candidates could run for stu-dent senate speaker. He also said 12 elected student senate members will be sworn in.

The Student Senate will meet at 7 p.m. today in the Arcola-Tusco-la Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Troccoli said the group has not started restoring the building, but is anxious to see what they will uncov-er during the process.

“We’re going to try to peel back the ugly and find out what’s beautiful,” she said.

Troccoli said the group does not currently have a set date for reopen-ing, but said they will take any length of time and resources it takes to en-sure the building is properly restored.

“We’re a mom and pop group of

individuals that have talent amongst us, but I’m sure we’ll be hiring peo-ple,” she said. “At any rate, we’ll take as long as it takes to restore (the the-ater).”

Troccoli said the support from the community has been positive so far.

“There’s a lot of supportive people there,” she said. “It’s a win-win for all of us.”

HUTSON from page 8

Having coached in the OVC for nearly a decade, Hutson has knowl-edge of the teams in the conference.

Taylor said knowing the competi-tion is always important.

“That’s our main competition,” Taylor said. “We want to be back on top in the OVC. Him having the ex-perience at Murray State and knowing the high profile offenses in this con-ference I feel like that’s a bonus.”

Hedrick was impressed with the head coaching experience Hutson has from one year at Eastern and half of

this year at Tulane.“Out of all the candidates, he has

the most head coaching experience and that does matter,” Hedrick said.

Hedrick said he thinks Hutson is a “solid” coach.

“You can tell he’s an Eastern guy,” Hedrick said.

HONORS from page 8

OVC players honored with end of year awards

Head coach Watson Brown of Ten-nessee Tech was named OVC Coach of the Year, with wide receiver Tim Benford, also of Tennessee Tech, named OVC Offensive Player of the Year.

Michael German of Tennessee State was named the OVC Fresh-man of the Year, while teammate Rico Council was named OVC Defensive Player of the Year.

OVC teams knocked out of FCS playoffs

Eastern Kentucky fell to No. 17 James Madison by a score of 20-17.

Despite a 17-7 lead in the third quarter, Eastern Kentucky was un-able to hold off James Madison, as the Dukes bounced back to notch a

game-winning field goal with under two minutes to play.

No. 20 Tennessee Tech fell to No. 15 Central Arkansas by a score of 34-14. The Golden Eagles were coming off of their first OVC title since 1975, and making their first ever playoff ap-pearance.

Central Arkansas shut down a Ten-nessee Tech offense which had set a new school single season record for points, as the Golden Eagles made an early exit from the playoffs.

The last OVC team to win in the first round of the playoffs was Murray State in the 1996 season.

MAINE from page 8

Sophomore forward Alfonzo McK-innie has developed into a good sec-ond option on offense. McKinnie is the only other player on Eastern’s ros-ter that is scoring in double-figures. He scores 11 points per game.

McKinnie leads a defense. He is av-

eraging 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, all of which lead the team.

Eastern and Maine have not played since 1993 and Maine leads the all-time series 3-1. The Panthers last win against the Black Bears was 71-63 on Dec. 1, 1992.

Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Lantz Arena.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Play-ing on the road for the first time this season, Illinois wasn't prepared for the determination and energy that Maryland displayed in its own arena.

Fortunately for the Fighting Illini, they had enough time to overcome their error in judgment.

Sam Maniscalco scored 24 points, Brandon Paul had 17 and undefeated Illinois pulled away to a 71-62 victo-ry Tuesday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The Illini (7-0) were outrebounded in the first half, shot 40 percent and returned to the locker room down 35-31.

"I'm not sure they understood or had the right mental framework of

how hard it is to win a road game," coach Bruce Weber said. "They out-toughed us, got all the loose balls, outplayed us really in the first half."

By halftime, the players realized they were going to have to play much better to win.

And that is precisely what hap-pened. Illinois outrebounded the Ter-rapins 22-14 in the second half and outscored them 40-27.

"I thought we showed a lot of toughness, a lot of grit," Maniscalco said.

Still, Illinois led by only one point with 8 minutes left before Maniscal-co knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in a 10-2 run that proved too difficult for the feisty Terrapins to overcome.

"Second half, give Illinois cred-it. They took us out of everything,"

Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "At this point, we do not know how to win against a good team. But we will. We're making tremendous strides."

Terrell Stoglin scored 25 for Mary-land (3-3) and James Padgett had 16. The Terrapins had two streaks end: their six-game run in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and their 13-game home winning streak against noncon-ference opponents.

But Maryland, playing its first sea-son under Turgeon, gave the Illini all they could handle before fading down the stretch.

"Illinois did a great job defending. They kind of got us out of our sets," Padgett said. "We started rushing, we weren't executing and missed a lot of free throws."

Illinois defeats Maryland, 71-62

The Eastern football team saw four players named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference Second Team: junior defensive lineman Artavious Dowdell, red-shirt senior Cory Leman, red-shirt junior tight end Von Wise and senior offensive line-man Eric Zink.

Dowdell finished the season as the second most sacks in the OVC, while also leading the Panther defense with five sacks.

He had 45 total tackles, 7.5 of which were for a loss. Dowdell was a preseason All-OVC se-lection and named to the Phil Steele FCS Preview preseason All-OVC Second Team.

Leman, the Panthers’ team captain, finished with the third most tackles in the OVC, with 106. He is currently No. 8 on the all-time Eastern tackles list. At the beginning of the season, Leman was named to the Phil Steele FCS Preview preseason All-OVC First Team. Le-man was also a finalist for the

Awards and Recognition Asso-ciation Sportsmanship Award.

Wise was the OVC’s top re-ceiving tight end, raking in 32 catches for 348 yards and two touchdowns.

Zink, also a team captain, was a four year starter at guard, being the only senior to start on this season’s offensive line. He was also named to the pre-season All-OVC first team.

The second of four Eastern head football coach candidates, Mark Hutson, said he is look-ing for a place to call home. That place could be Eastern, Hutson said Tuesday.

“I’m tired of moving,” Huston said. “I want a place that could be home for me. I want longev-ity. I’ve been in a rat race.”

Hutson has been all over the map in his coaching career, making stops at Oklahoma, Ar-kansas, Murray State, Boise State, Tulsa and Tu-lane. He was also a coach at Eastern from 2003 to 2006, becoming the acting head coach in 2006 when former head coach Bob Spoo was on a medical leave.

“Wherever you go, (you should) get in it like you will be there the rest of your life,” Hutson said at Tuesday night’s public interview in the Lantz Club Room.

Hutson said he has asked former Eastern football head coach why he stayed with the Pan-thers so long. Spoo ended his 25-year Eastern career this past season.

“Bob said he didn’t want to give up the secu-rity,” Hutson said.

Hutson was introduced Tuesday as the sec-ond of four candidates to replace Spoo as head coach; however, Hutson, who is currently the interim head coach at Tulane, has other oppor-tunities in front of him.

Tulane’s athletic director is interviewing can-didates this week to be the next head football coach of the program. The list of candidates in-cludes Hutson.

“I’m not ruled out at Tulane,” Hutson said. “If I got an offer, I would have to consider it.”

In his decision, Hutson said he would have to consider his past experience with Ohio Valley Conference teams, Eastern and Murray State. He said his four years at Eastern and Murray State were the happiest of his life.

Along with this looming decision, many of the current Eastern football players in atten-dance brought up concerns of their own.

Red-shirt sophomore linebacker Antonio Taylor questioned Hutson’s personality.

“You seem like a laid back guy,” Taylor told Hutson. “As a player I think I understand the team well enough, and I think we respond to those who are direct and stern personalities.”

“You think I’m laid back,” Hutson joked. “I’ve got some numbers for you, after this we can call some of the offensive linemen at Tulane. You’ll look back to this meeting and say, ‘Where the heck did that laid back guy go?’”

Hutson was a two-time All-American offen-sive lineman at Oklahoma and was the third round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys.

“I didn’t get there by being laid back,” Hut-son said. “My horns aren’t showing.”

Despite Hutson’s response, Taylor was still skeptical after the interview.

“From previous experience, I wouldn’t say our

team doesn’t respect (a laid back personality) but we don’t respond as well as we do with intense personalities,” Taylor said.

Even though Hutson exhibited a laid back personality, Taylor said Hutson’s knowledge of the conference and his similar coaching philoso-phies to Spoo would be important in the transi-tion from one coach to another.

Hutson said he’d want to run a multiple of-fense system, and run multiple defenses. Tay-lor said those styles are similar to what the team runs now.

“I think our players will be comfortable with that,” Taylor said.

In the OVC, Hutson said it will be impor-tant to run the multiple defense system, which would mix up how many defensive linemen were on the field and how many linebackers were playing.

“You have to be multiple to stop the Mur-ray States who just line up and pass the ball, or to stop the Jacksonville State’s who if you don’t stop the run they’ll do it every play until you do,” Hutson said.

Another player in attendance, Keithan He-drick, questioned Hutson’s coaching philos-ophies. Hedrick asked Hutson what he would bring to the program that was different than what Spoo brought.

“I’m not going to reinvent the wheel here,” Hutson said. “The difference is going to be our attitude.”

Although his coaching philosophies may be similar, Hedrick said he thinks it is important that Hutson learned from Spoo.
