MAR TIN LUTHER KING JR DAY
MLK Jr.’s memory
honored with vigil
By Bob Galuski
Entertainment Editor
L
aughter, songs and high spirits were in the air as Eastern
and Charleston community members marched across campus
to commemorate the legacy of Martin
Luther King Jr.
Those participating in the vigil march Monday were given candles
to hold as they made their way from
Thomas Hall to the Martin Luther
King Jr. University Union.
Vice president of Zeta Nu, David
Sims, said the candles were donated by
the Newman Catholic Center.
Along the way, the marchers joined
in songs such as “We Shall Overcome,”
giving the memorial a feel reminiscent
to the Civil Rights activist’s own march
in 1963.
Brandy Woods, a senior Africana
studies major, said this was her first
time attending the annual vigil and that
she was there to honor King’s memory.
“He paved the way for so AfricanAmericans, like myself, could participate in events like this,” she said. “He
may be gone, but his efforts are not forgotten.”
Conversely, Anthony Boyd, a senior
theatre arts major, said he comes to the
vigil every year.
“I love celebrating and representing
his dream and legacy,” Boyd said.
While marchers were waiting for the
service to begin, they were encouraged
to sign a “dream board” the fraternity
members had put on display.
The board was split into two sections, a dream and a nightmare section.
“The dream side is for your goals
and aspirations, and the nightmare one
is for any fears you might have,” Sims
said. “The point is that your dreams are
greater than your nightmares.”
Asia Watt, a freshman elementary
education major, said she was inspired
to attend the march because it was relevant to her life.
“Think about it, I couldn’t attend a
four-year university if not for people
like Martin Luther King Jr.,” she said.
Tony Alozie, a senior biological sciences major, said he came to show respect for the work King contributed to
American society.
“He was a profound leader who gave
a lot of people a great opportunity,” he
said.
The official name of the event was
“Dreaming of a Nightmare: Wake Up.”
David Mitchell, a senior communication studies major, was in charge of
the theme of this year’s vigil and said he
wanted to do something different for
2013.
“Last year’s theme was ‘Dirty
Dream,’ so we wanted to go a different
direction,” he said. “This is representative of Martin Luther King’s dream today being altered.”
Putting together the entire vigil plus
the ceremony required a lot of work,
Sims said.
“I’m the vice president, so my biggest duty was just overseeing, making
sure everything got done,” he said. “We
had to rent out Thomas for the meeting
place and the Grand Ballroom for our
activities. Other things too, like reaching out to brothers and making sure the
programs were made, all of that went
into this.”
Immediately following the walk,
participants were asked to come to the
Grand Ballroom of the Union to watch
performances in honor of King.
Darius Francis, a senior communication studies major, gave one of the
opening acts, a re-enactment of King’s
famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
“It’s my way to give back and show
my gratitude for him,” Francis said.
A memorial video was also shown,
displaying the struggle for civil rights
King faced during his time as an activist.
Before the candlelit vigil across campus, students were also honoring King’s
memory through volunteer work
around Eastern and Charleston.
Rachel Fisher, director of student
community service, said there were approximately 250 students signed up for
the service day.
“This is the fourth year we’ve had it,
and every year the numbers grow,” she
said. “I’m very happy and thankful for
the numbers we had today.”
She also added that there would
be about 200 more service opportunities for students throughout the semester.
One of the reasons attributed to the
higher turn out, Fisher said, was the fact
that there were nine projects to choose
from – higher than any other year.
“We had projects to benefit orphanages, the Big Brother and Big Sister organization, and local senior citizens,”
Fisher said.
The project with the most students
participating, she said, came at the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health System, where
volunteers were able to make teddy
bears for the pediatric section.
“This was a great way to start a new
year, a great way to just kick off the semester,” Fisher said.

C AMPUS ISSUES | TOBACCO-FREE
Student Senate awaits student opinions on tobacco
By Samantha McDaniel
Student Governance Editor
PHOTO ILLUSTR ATION BY K ATIE SMITH
The Student Senate members have
an open forum to discuss the topic of
a tobacco-free campus with students
and faculty before writing a resolution
on their decision.
The open forum to discuss the proposal will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 20
in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin
Luther King Jr. University Union.
Student Senate Speaker Mitch Gurick, a sophomore business major, said
the Student Senate members want to
know what the campus community thinks about the tobacco-free cam-
pus proposal before they draft a resolution that will state their opinion on
the matter.
Student Body President Kaci
Abolt, a senior communication studies major, said the first step the Student Senate members will take is the
forum.
She said the senate members will
also look at the results from the recent
survey sent out to students about a tobacco-free campus.
“Obviously we are not going to
write anything until we get a wide variety of student opinions,” Abolt said.
“I know there are a lot of opinions on
this issue going both ways.”
The forum is open to anyone because a proposal like the tobacco-free
campus will affect everyone from students to faculty, Gurick said.
“It’s going to be a dialogue between
all the different groups, and I believe
the Tobacco Coalition will do a short
presentation,” he said.
The Tobacco Coalition presented to
the Faculty Senate studies that show
how other state universities are going
smoke- or tobacco-free.
Gurick said if the coalition does
present, they will talk about what the
proposal is and what they want to see
come from it.

A local theater is under renovations to keep history alive on the
Charleston Square.
The Will Rogers Theatre, 705
Monroe Ave., closed in 2010 after
its 71-year time in Charleston.
It was built and opened in 1938.
The theater was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and was listed as one of
the “Ten Most Endangered Historic
Places” in Illinois by the Landmarks
Illinois preservation group.
Katie and Jim Troccoli of Ottawa
bought the theater in 2011.
The Troccolis also operate the
Majestic Theatre in Streator, Ill.,
and have been involved in its restoration since 1995.
Along with friend and partner
Tim Burke, who owned the Majestic, they have been restoring the
theater for 10 years.
Katie Troccolli said they are unsure of when the Will Rogers Theatre
will open because of a few setbacks.
She said when she first looked at
the Will Rogers Theatre, she knew
they had found the right theatre to restore.
“When we looked at the proper-
ty, we felt it had good solid bones to
work with,” she said. “Basically it is
intact and structurally sound.”
Katie Troccolli said they finally
have the architect’s drawing plans
for the site.
“We knew this was a big project and that it would take time and
effort to complete,” she said. “We
wish it were done yesterday; that
however, is unrealistic.”
Katie Troccolli said the biggest
obstacle they have come across is
getting everything up to today’s
codes and standards.
“One of the big hurdles is having enough bathrooms for today’s
codes,” she said. “We had to figure
out their placement, and they need
to be handicap-accessible.”
Lisa Auten, a Charleston resident, said she hopes the Will Rogers
Theatre will not be too modern and
will keep its history.
She said she hopes they keep the
ceiling intact and make use of the
ticket booth out front.
Katie Troccolli said from the outside it does not look like they are
making progress, but the work is
happening on the inside.
“There is some progress that you
can’t see,” she said. “We do have a
new window in and we started to
take down a wall.”
She said so far, she and her family are the only ones working on the
theater.
Together they have taken down an
interior wall, removed the snack bar
and carpet, patched the roof and fixed
up the upstairs bathrooms, she said.
Katie Troccolli said they are also
trying to get power to the storefronts so the spaces can be rented.
She said the Will Rogers Theatre is an important piece of the
Charleston community.
“We think that the Will Rogers Theatre, as well as other liketheaters in the world, are an economic anchor for communities like
Charleston,” she said. “They are what
brought people to the town/community. Other business feed on the theater, thus creating jobs and a positive
quality of life in the community.”
Mary Lou Sexton, a Charleston
resident, said she does not go to
the movie theater very often, but if
the Will Rogers was to re-open, she
would go more regularly.
However, Katie Troccolli said
there is still a lot to do with the renovations and restorations.
She said fixing up the theater is
a big project and will take a lot of
time and money.

The theater was listed on Landmarks Illinois’ 2011 “Ten Most

“What you need to understand is
that we will complete the project,”
she said. “It will happen.”

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE | ANNUAL DINNER
Local businesses to be honored
By Amanda Wilkinson
City Editor
The Charleston Area Chamber
of Commerce is hosting an annual
dinner to honor and celebrate local
businesses and their successes of this
past year.
On Jan. 26, the Chamber will
present three awards — the Small
Business of the Year award, the Outstanding Citizen of the Year award
and the Diplomat of the Year award.
The business award will be given to
Lifetime Eye Care, the citizen award
will be given to Michael J. Metzger,
a certified public accountant and
partner at Gilbert Metzger & Madigan, LLP. The diplomat award will
be announced at the dinner.
The Chamber’s Annual Dinner
and Awards Ceremony is a formal
event used to present these awards,
celebrate the past year and bring the
local businesses together.
The theme for this year’s dinner is
“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” continuing the Chamber’s focus on international travel.
Cindy White, the executive di-
rector of the Chamber, said the
theme reflects what they are trying
to do with the Chamber this year.
“For the first time in 2013 we’re
offering a travel program to China in
October, so we’re kind of going with
this whole travel, international theme
for the annual dinner,” she said.
White said along with the program they are offering, they will
be drawing a raffle for a seven-day
resort vacation for two people to
more than 3,000 resorts around
the world, including in the United
States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Atlantic Islands and Central
and South America.
She said participants in the raffle do not have to be present at the
dinner, but they will be drawing the
winner at the end of the night.
She said the recipient of the citizen award has to stand out in more
than just their job.
“The recipients for this award not
only excels at their profession but
donates time, resources, expertise
to other not-for-profits or charitable
organizations,” White said.
Metzger said at the accounting
firm, they believe in the value of relationships and helping their clients by
providing individual consideration.
He said the firm believes in giving back to the community.
Metzger is currently involved
with several organizations, including
Charleston Area Charitable Foundation, Clear Water Corporation
and Catholic Charities of Coles,
Douglas and Edgar Counties Advisory Board.
He has also coached youth league
baseball and soccer.
Lifetime Eye Care is also being
awarded because of their good business practices, employee benefits
and community involvement.
The employees are all active within the community and are involved
in various groups such as United
Way, Charleston Rotary and the Fox
Ridge State Park Foundation.
The event will also feature a silent auction, a photo booth, a social
hour, a buffet dinner and the “State
of the City” address by Mayor John
Inyart.
Inyart said the speech he gives is
usually about 10 minutes long.
“Ten minutes really isn’t that long
when you’re trying to tell people
what happened in a year,” he said.
White said the Chamber is required to have an annual meeting,
but they turn the dinner into something more entertaining.
“Basically it’s a great networking
opportunity,” she said. “It’s a chance
to bring our chamber members together. Then to add an extra component to the evening, we do the
awards.”
White said the beginning of the
event is to discuss what has happened in the Chamber and the former and new presidents talk about
past happenings and future goals.
“So it’s good food, it’s an opportunity for us to talk a bit about
what’s going on at the Chamber,”
she said.
The dinner will be at 5 p.m. on
Jan. 26. in the Martin Luther King
Jr. University Union's Grand Ballroom.

C AMPUS | SOLO RECITAL
Senior performs last recital
By Bob Galuski
Entertainment Editor
Draining her last dregs of tea, Allison Wilber prepares for her last rehearsal of her last solo recital of her
college career.
Wilber, a senior music major,
said the tea helps soothe her throat
and is a key part of her preparation
before she sings.
“I try not to get too stressed before I perform,” she said. “I take
deep breaths and drink lots of water and tea.”
The soprano singer gave her last
recital on Sunday as part of the Senior Recital series for music majors.
“A lot of music classes require
students to go to recitals or classes,
so this is a good way to knock out
25 minutes, through the Senior Recital,” she said.
With her last semester at Eastern coming to a close, Wilber has
reached a milestone with her final
solo recital.
“I’ll still be in the choir, but as
for it just being me, this is it,” she
said.
Wilber said she first became interested in music when she joined
choir.
“I was a little late to the game, as
far as singing, but I had experience
playing piano,” she said.
Since she had been playing the
piano for a while before joining
choir, Wilber said she was comfortable with reading music, which
helped her out in her career.
“It all sort of fell into place,” she
said.
While the piano playing helped
her learn how to read music, when
it comes to singing and playing, her
views on what music to perform are
different.
“When I’m singing I prefer music
from the Baroque era of music,” she
said. “I’m on a huge Baroque kick
right now.”
However, Wilber said she enjoys
playing music from the romantic
period.
“The Baroque era seems very
pure to me,” she said. “It’s one of
the greatest periods.”
For her recital, Wilber performed
pieces of music in foreign languages, such as French and German.
In preparation for her performance, Wilber said she had to learn
French.
“I’m hoping I don’t forget French
in the middle of my set,” she said,
laughing.
One of the reasons she said she
enjoys performing is because when
she’s on stage, it feels like time is
moving slower than it actually is.
“Not in a bad way. It’s not like I
want it to end, but in a good way,
like I wish it could last forever,”

Allison Wilber, a soprano, sings "Volksliedchen" by Robert Schumann Suday in the Recital Hall of Doudna Fine Arts Center.
Wilber said.
After she graduates, Wilber said
she will leave Eastern with a degree
in music education and psychology.
With the degrees, she hopes to
go into music therapy, helping out
people afflicted with autism.
“Music therapy is using music
as a tool to improve someone’s lifestyle,” Wilber said.
She said she was inspired to follow this career line by her young-
er cousin, who was diagnosed with
autism.
“You can have two separate outlets for people with autism: Instruments and singing,” she said. “Both
of them can be used for any of the
sensory development issues they
might have.”

Lawson Hall to fix room imbalance
The housing department is considering making Lawson Hall a coed
residence hall. After the hall council
agreed, the decision has been moved to
the Residence Hall Association.
Laura Imbirowicz, the Lawson Hall
resident director, said the members of
the Lawson Hall Council developed a
list of pros and cons of making Lawson coed.
Imbirowicz said one issue the residents had was the tradition of the
Lawson Ladies.
“Some of the pros brought up was
opening up additional single occupancy rooms for males, since there is only
currently one on campus,” Imbirowicz said.
Another pro the residents found was
that if they have a visitor of the opposite sex, they no longer have to take
them to another building to shower,
she said.
Mark Hudson, the director of University Housing and Dining Services, said they worked with the Thomas
Hall Council last year to make Thomas Hall coed by floor because students
who were applying for campus hous-
ing showed interest in it.
After Thomas Hall and the RHA
passed the proposal, Thomas Hall
opened up floors for females.
“Basically what happened is that
put us in a shortage for how many
male beds that we need,” Hudson said.
The University Housing and Dining
Office did a study in the fall semester
based on open beds, and there were 26
open beds for men and 400 for women on campus.
“When we converted Thomas Hall
we took off four floors of men, so that
is 240 beds, and we added that to the
women’s side,” Hudson said.
Lawson Hall was proposed to become coed because it has 24-hour visitation and is used to having more male
traffic than Andrews Hall.
If the proposal is passed by the
RHA, there will be four floors taken
from Lawson Hall for males.
“That will return pretty close to 200
beds back to men and bring that more
in balance,” Hudson said.
The reason the imbalance is an issue is because there is no room for
males to move if they have a problem,
he said.
Women, however, have a lot of options to move around, and Hudson
said they wanted to create the same
opportunities for the males on campus.
Hudson said they are also trying
to create more coed halls because students applied for that.
“We watch the trends and how people are applying for the different residences, and what we were seeing was
that Taylor, which is the only building
for underclassmen coming in directly,
was filling up quickly,” Hudson said.
People were being turned away
from Taylor Hall, so they looked at
Thomas to create more coed space.
“As we looked at other state universities, many do not have any singlegendered buildings, they are all coed,”
Hudson said. “We have more than
anyone by far.”
Hudson said they had to look at
what they were offering versus what
the students wanted, and so they started the transition to offer more coed
space.
Changing the floors from female
to male will not affect the construction of the floors, so they will be able
to change back if necessary, Imbirowicz said.
“Depending on if we fluctuate or
not with male or female numbers in
housing, we can adapt accordingly at
Lawson,” she said.
Current Lawson Hall residents will
be given the opportunity to move
buildings if they wish to stay in a single gendered building, Imbirowicz
said.
Also, residents who have already
filled out their room and board agreements will be given a choice of where
they would like to move if their floor is
switched to a male floor.
The RHA will vote on the proposal at its meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday in
Andrews Hall before it is sent to the
University Housing and Dining Services Office for a final decision.
Imbirowicz said she thinks the
change will be good for the atmosphere at Lawson Hall and allow them
to create a new tradition.
If the proposal is passed, the hall
council will start to rebrand the tradition of the “Lawson Ladies.”
“The only name anyone came up
with, kind of in a joking manner, has
been saying we are the Lawson Ladies and Lads on campus,” Imbirowicz said.

Lance Armstrong is still my hero
In a revelation that did not surprise anyone,
Lance Armstrong lost his battle to prove that
he won his record seven Tour de France titles
cleanly. Now, he has lost everything he fought
for after winning his battle with cancer. He lost
his titles, his endorsements, and even his foundation severed some of the ties to him.
Armstrong is and was a ruthless competitor. Most coverage of him has reached this as a
unanimous conclusion in an effort to paint him
as a man willing to go to any length possible to
win. It is for that very reason that I grew to admire Armstrong, and still do.
Only a ruthless competitor is willing to wake
up in the morning, ride a bike for hours upon
hours to the point of complete exhaustion and
have the tenacity to wake up the next day to do
it all over again.
In 2005, Congress held hearings where baseball players were asked about performance-enhancing drugs. Sure, I could have pointed out
that many of these men had used PEDs. But
even worse, many of the congressmen in that
room have committed very unscrupulous acts.
Jesse Green
The difference is that their actions and decisions actually affect other people’s lives. The only
way Armstrong affected my life is for the good,
by exemplifying perseverance, dedication and
commitment to promoting the welfare of others.
Think of the millions of people who took up cycling because of him. I was one of them.
Armstrong has inspired and helped millions
of people in his life, and the benefits from his
work are everywhere. Lying about doping allegations is part of this topic that I wish were not
the case, but the participation trophy world we
live in cannot handle my true position of not
caring about what competitors do to their bodies provided that it does not harm another. If it’s
harmful to them, they can weigh the risk and
potentially suffer the consequences.
PEDs are technology. Usually we are very appreciative of technology and the benefit it brings
to society. Bikes are now made of space-age material and are vastly superior to those that were
employed in the early days in competitive racing. The current times of the purest cycler will
beat the record of a guy on a bike that weighed
two times more 50 years ago. Is that fair? We accept these changes as fair in many sports, but we
do not accept it when the technology to what we
can do with bodies as fair even though the supplements, the training tools, etc. that are legal are
far better than those of old.
The fair playing field utopia does not exist
and is only in the minds of those who are truly
delusional. Why? Life is not a fair playing field,
and it’s too bad that your participation trophy
never told you that.

“It will allow the different audience
members to voice their concerns for a
limited time,” Gurick said.
The Tobacco Coalition told the Faculty Senate that there are 830 campuses nationwide that are smoke- or tobacco-free.
“I think we’ll be able to decide if
students are really interested in this or
not,” Gurick said.
The forum will also allow for questions and clarifications, Gurick said.
Student will be able to approach a
podium, state their name, major, what
they are feeling about the proposal and
if they feel there is another solution,
Gurick said.
“Back in 2006, the Student Senate
voted that campus should not be tobacco-free, but have designated areas that
will allow smokers to go and smoke,”
he said.
Gurick said he wants to know if students support the new proposal or if
they think the designated areas should
be enforced more.
“It was pretty violently debated,”
Gurick said. “Hopefully it’ll be a good
dialogue between the different parties
and we will be able to gage the different interests.”
Gurick said he is expecting a lot of
debate over the issue.
“If a lot of people show up, they’ll be
passionate about it,” he said.
The Student Senate members like to
know how the students feel before they
make a decision that will affect the entire campus, Gurick said.
“It’s a good way for student government to get involved on an issue that
affects the students directly,” he said.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES | CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS
BOT approves funding for University Court parking lots
By Robyn Dexter
News Editor
The Board of Trustees approved
$868,775 worth of improvements to
the University Court parking lot at its
meeting Friday.
The construction for the project will
consist of improving the east half of the
University Court parking lot.
William Weber, the vice president for
business affairs, told the board the parking lot improvements are part of a twophase plan that has taken place over the
past few years.
“This project addresses some drainage issues we’ve been having and provides other general improvements,” he
said. “The funding source is local funds,
in particular, funds from parking fees.”
The project consists of furnishing labor, materials and equipment to improve the parking lot, along with repaving costs and installation of the new
drainage system.
Funding was also approved for the
purchase of a safety film over the frosted
glass of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.
The labor, materials and equipment
will cost $310,786.
Weber said the frosted glass in Doudna needs to be fortified, because of
some of the panels shattering about 18
months ago.
“In that time, we’ve done some major research into the area and figured out
what the best way to make sure there is
no more breakage,” he said.
The film will cover the frosted glass,
ensuring if it does break again, it will be
encased and not fall onto the floor of
Doudna.
Funding source for this project is also
local funds from the capital reserve, Weber said.
Robert Webb, chair of the finance/
audit committee for the board, said the
committee had discussed the purchase
of the film at length and although the
situation was unfortunate, safety should
be the first priority.
“We all agree that the safety of the

students and the public is of utmost
concern, so we think it’s a necessary purchase,” Webb said.
The board also discussed the housing
rates for Fall 2013, which will increase
by 2 percent.
Dan Nadler, the vice president for
student affairs, said the increase is the
smallest percentage increase that has
been requested in the past 37 years.
“We’re very pleased and very proud
of that fact,” he said. “Eastern will continue to offer some of the lowest housing rates and greatest values among the
public universities in the state of Illinois.”
He said the proposed rate, which was
approved, represents a unanimous recommendation by the Housing Bond
Revenue Committee, which includes six
student representatives.
“The rates are driven by increases in
areas such as food, technology, utilities,
supplies, personnel and maintenance,”
Nadler said.
Part of the overall increase will be
dedicated to capital projects such as residence hall room upgrades, semi-private
bathrooms, wireless Internet and lobby
upgrades, he said.
The board also voted to permit President Bill Perry to offer a contract extension to athletic leaders Barbara Burke,
the athletic director, and Dino Babers,
the head football coach.
“Burke has led the department of intercollegiate athletics in a superb fashion
in her time here,” Perry said.
Burke’s one-year contract extension
will be from July 1, 2014, to June 30,
2015.
He also praised Babers for his work
with the Eastern football team.
“He has developed very strong community relations, and the team has performed very well,” Perry said. “Winning
the Ohio Valley Conference was part of
his three-year plan, but this is an early
welcome arrival.”
Babers’ contract extension will be
from Jan. 1, 2015, to Dec. 31, 2015.
The board also reviewed the success
of the Honors College and the progress
of its new facility that is underway in
Pemberton Hall.
Blair Lord, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, gave a report
detailing some of the numbers behind
the success of the Honors College.
“The number (of students) who are
a part of the Honors College are stable
and at a level we’re very pleased with,”
he said.
The number of students in the Honors College has increased from 526 in
2011 to 533 in 2012, Lord said in his
presentation.
“This is a program that deserves new
digs, if you will, in which to continue
the successful operation of developing
our students,” Lord said.
Weber said construction on the new
facilities for the Honors College is expected to be completed in time for the
Fall 2013 semester.

Women’s team has best showing
By Aldo Soto
Assistant Sports Editor
The absence of a diving squad on
the Eastern swim team played a role
in its overall 2-2 and 1-3 record for
the women’s and men’s teams, respectively, at the three-team dual meet at
Western Illinois over the weekend.
The women’s and men’s teams both
raced to a 1-1 record against host
school Western and visiting South
Dakota on Friday night. The women
dominated the Leathernecks defeating
them by a final score of 72-28 while
the men recorded their win against
the Coyotes, 59-52.
The Panthers had to overcome a
16-point deficit because of their void
at diving members on the team that
led to a pair of 61-50 losses against
Western and South Dakota.
The Eastern squads combined to
win 11 out of the 21 races with the
women’s team tallying eight of those
11 first-place finishes. Senior Hailey Foss and freshman
Kaylee Morris led the women’s team.
Both swimmers finished with two
first-place finishes.
The other victories came from redshirt sophomore Olga Livshits in the
200-freestyle as the Israeli native bested her previous top time finishing
the race at 2:03.11. Junior Kate Paige
and sophomore Mackenzie Anderson
also came away with victories in the
100-butterfly and 100-backstroke, respectively.
The Eastern men won three events
as seniors Michael Bower and Mike
Lacine each won races in the 400-Individual Medley and 100-backstroke.
Bower finished the race at 4:19.42
while Lacine touched the wall first at
54.20.
The third men’s victory came in the
400-medley relay as fellow senior Dan
Enge joined Lacine, and juniors Josh
Miller and Colin McGill to win the
relay with a final time of 3:35.45.
On Saturday, the women once
again defeated the Leathernecks, this
time by a score of 90-44; however,
they lost to the Coyotes 96-49.
Eastern’s performance against
Western was led again by Foss and
Morris, each winning two races.
Junior Mary Lacine and Livshits
also came away with victories in their
respective 200-Individual Medley and
200-backstroke races.
The men’s team lost to both schools
84-61 and 78-67 to Western and
South Dakota, respectively.
The men’s team fell to 2-6 overall this
season while the women moved to 3-6,
but McGill said he is looking forward to
better results in upcoming meets.
The Panthers will next compete at
home at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 1 in the Padovan Pool, hosting the Saint Louis Billikens.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL | GAMER
Eastern unable to match Murray State offense
By Alex McNamee
Staff Reporter
The Eastern women’s basketball
team couldn’t keep up with Murray
State on Monday after a 9-1 run put
the Racers ahead by six points halfway
through the second half.
A few minutes later, Murray State
put together another run — 9-2 — to
increase the lead to double figures and
the Racers held the lead the rest of the
way, winning 68-58.
Eastern head coach Lee Buchanan said the game looked just like the
last one the Panthers lost on paper,
against Eastern Kentucky 15 days ago.
The similarities: Eastern shot the
ball poorly from the field and from
beyond the arc. The Panthers shot 31
percent from the field and 16 percent
from beyond the arc against Murray State. They shot 32 percent from
the field and 22 percent from 3-point
land against Eastern Kentucky.
“We couldn’t put a run in there because we couldn’t put shots together,”
Buchanan said.
The Panthers strung together free
throws, but scoring one point on a
possession wasn’t enough to match
Murray State’s scoring pace.
The Panthers made five straight free
throws from the eight-minute mark to
the 3:33 mark in the second half; meanwhile, Murray State scored 11 points.
Just like the Eastern Kentucky
game, Eastern couldn’t score enough
from the field to lift its offense,
though the Panthers lost to Eastern
Kentucky by only one point.
“I wish I knew how to wave a wand
and not let that happen,” Buchanan said.
JACOB SALMICH | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Junior guard Jordyne Crunk drives toward the basket against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks on Jan. 12. The Women’s basketball team is 11-8.
“That’s been our Achilles heel all year.”
If one thing was good, Buchanan
said, it was the Panthers’ defense. The
Panthers had a chance to win the game
until late because their defense held
Murray State scoreless on numerous
possessions.
But the Panthers couldn’t make
shots, which was the bottom line. Bu-

chanan said the Panthers were unlucky because shots weren’t falling.
“We had some good looks just roll
in and roll out,” Buchanan said.
The game was the fourth in five in
which senior guard Ta’Kenya Nixon scored 18 points or more. Nixon
scored 20 points Monday with seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Blanford boosts Eastern,
snaps team losing streak
By Anthony Catezone
Sports Editor
Sherman Blanford, a junior forward, goes for a layup during the game
against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks on Jan. 12 in Lantz Arena. The
Panthers take on Tennessee-Martin at 7 p.m. Thursday in Lantz Arena.
The loss ends the Panthers’ three-game winning streak with the last
win coming on Saturday
against Austin Peay.
Overall, the Panthers
have won six of their last
eight games since the start of January.
The Panthers are heading back
A career-day for junior forward
Sherman Blanford propelled the
Eastern men’s basketball team to a
77-67 win over Austin Peay, snapping its 12-game losing streak.
Blanford had four career-highs
with 19 points, 10 rebounds (seven on offense), six assists and four
steals in the winning effort.
“(Blanford) played unbelievably good tonight,” head coach Jay
Spoonhour said. “The offensive rebounds speak for themselves, and he
is as good of a passer as we have on
this team. He is just capable of doing so many things.”
Eastern moves to 4-16 overall
and 1-6 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Austin Peay falls to 5-15 overall and 1-5 in conference play.
“It feels good because it’s hard to
compete day in and day out and not
see results,” Spoonhour said. “These
guys come to practice with the right
mindset, and tonight they did just
that. They came out and concentrated, made good plays.”
Spoonhour said the players were
able to coach themselves throughout the game, especially when the
Panthers’, once commanding a
21-point lead, dwindled to as little as eight points late in the second
half.
“Something that you need is for
players to look at each other and
communicate,” he said. “(Austin
Peay) started to press us in the second half and we were
forced to play faster,
but the players handled
it and capitalized.”
A large part of Eastern’s production came
from the rebounding
battle that it won 33-21; sixteen of
those rebounds were on the offensive end.
Blanford led the Panthers with 10
total rebounds and seven offensive
rebounds.
Spoonhour said the Panthers
were missing several open shots at
times, which can demoralize a team;
but the fact that they were able to
battle for the offensive rebound aggravated the Governors.
“Every (offensive rebound) is a
new possession,” he said. “That aggravates opponents because they
have to guard for an entirely new
shot clock on defense.”
The 16 offensive rebounds translated into 16 second chance points
for the Panthers compared to the
Governors’ nine second chance
points.
Eastern scored a season-high 77
points behind three players reaching
double-digits.
Along with Blanford’s 19, sophomore forward Josh Piper led the
Panthers with 20 points, and senior guard Taylor Jones registered
14 points.
77
“We did a good job in the first
half playing our game, slowing the
pace down to only 31
possessions,” Spoonhour said.
The coach said the
offense did as good of
a job as he has seen it
when cutting to the
basket and making early 3-pointers.
Even though the offense had
its season-high in points, Spoonhour said he was especially pleased
with the defensive performance
the Panthers showed in the first
half, holding Austin Peay to just
25 points.
The Governors’ standout transfer guard Travis Betran led the OVC
in scoring in conference-only contests with 24.8 points per game before facing the Panthers.
But the Panthers’ defense managed to hold him to four points
in the first half, and 14 for the
game.
Betran was Austin Peay’s leading
scorer as no player made more than
one field goal in the first half.
Eastern will look to have only its
second win streak of the season as
it hosts Tennessee-Martin at 7 p.m.
Thursday in Lantz Arenza.
