Student body president candidates talk goals

By Chrissy Miller Administration Reporter| @DEN_News

The second provost candidate has been announced on Eastern’s website as Jeffrey Bakken, currently the associate provost for research and dean of the graduate school at Bradley University.

Bakken is staying until Wednesday to go through the on-campus interview process.

An open forum for students to ask Bakken questions will be from 1 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Tuesday in the Arcola/Tuscola room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The

faculty forum will be directly after from 2 p.m. to 2:50 p.m. in the same place. An open session for the staff and staff senate will be from 11:05 p.m. to 11:50 p.m. Wednesday in the Arcola/Tuscola room.

Bakken was an associate professor in the department of specialized educational development at Illinois State University from Aug. 1999 to July 2004. From 2004 to 2012, he served as a full-tenured professor at Illinois State.

He became the interim chair of the department of special education at Illinois State in July 2007 and continued in that position until

Dec. 31, 2008. He then became the official chair of that department from Jan. 1, 2009 to Aug. 16, 2011.

In 2011, he served as interim associate dean for research, graduate studies and international education in Illinois State’s College of Education. In 2012 he was relocated to Bradley University, where he served as the dean of the graduate school and sponsored research for a year. In 2013, he became associate provost for research and dean of the graduate school at Bradley.

In his current position, he helped increase Bradley University’s graduate enrollment from 578 students in

2012 to 1113 students this past fall. He also helped raise the international graduate population from 118 in 2012 to over 400 currently.

According to his resume, in his past position as interim dean at Illinois State University, Bakken was able to approve all grant proposals when the dean was off-campus and unable to do so. He was also in charge of analyzing all graduate programs in the college, deciding if these programs should grow, be reduced or be deleted.

Students will have the chance to vote for the next student body president Monday and Tuesday.

An email will be sent to each students’ panthermai l address , a l lowing them to vote a l l the student government’s executive board positions.

Speaker of the Senate Felicia Wagner, student vice president of academic affairs Luke Young and Jonathan Wil l iams, a graduate student studying political science, are the candidates running for student body president.

Wagner has been in s tudent government since the spring of 2016.

She said she wants to make a difference by increasing student re c r u i tment and re t en t ion a t Eastern, with academic initiatives and by continuing the “It’s on Us” campaign, which raises awareness o f s e x u a l a s s a u l t o n c o l l e g e campuses.

S h e p l a n s o n i n c r e a s i n g recruitment and retention by going to high schools from many areas to talk to students about Eastern.

As president, Wagner said she wants to bring hands-on learning into the classroom by reaching out to Human Resources and faculty members.

“That is how I learned and I know that many other students learn that way as well,” she said.

To increase campus unity, she would have a pep ra l ly during midterms instead of just once during the school year.

Wagner said the way to make student government more visible to students is by getting its logo out there and having the senate talk to students.

S t u d e n t V i c e Pr e s i d e n t o f Academic Af fa i r s Luke Young ha s been invo lved in s tudent government for two and a half years.

“I am running for president because I have been a par t o f (student government) for a long time and I love it,” Young said. “I also have ideas that will benefit Eastern now and also in the future.”

Young s a id he wou ld so l ve problems that are stopping students from coming to Eastern.

He wants to make programs on campus sustainable so when students leave, their ideas wil l remain and others will build on that foundation.

Proposal combining the Gateway Program, Academic Advising services to be considered By Cassie BuchmanNews Editor | @cjbuchman

A proposal to combine some of the ad-vising services provided by the Academic Advising Center on Ninth Street Hall and the Gateway program is currently being evaluated at Eastern.

Mona Davenport, director of minori-ty affairs, said these organizational chang-es are still in the infancy stage.

Even if they were to go into effect, she said, the Gateway program would still

continue to exist.“We still have Gateway students com-

ing in, and we will continue to have the Gateway program,” she said.

In an emailed statement, Provost Blair Lord said the proposal for this reorganiza-tion is simply being discussed.

If it were to go through, he said, there is a contractual process that would need to be followed.

“With the lower staffing levels across the university, we are always looking for the most efficient ways of deploying our

staff resources,” Lord said.The proposed reorganization combine

Gateway office’s academic advisers and advisers under the Center for Academic Support and Assessment, Davenport said.

The program, housed in Minority Af-fairs, would potentially move to the Ac-ademic Advising Center in Ninth Street Hall. Gateway advisers would keep their positions.

Currently, Gateway advisers advise Gateway students and advisers in Ninth Street Hall only advise new or undeclared

standard admits.**With the proposal, students would be

taken care of by all the advisers.Before, there were two separate offic-

es, Davenport said. “What we’re doing is putting the office together.”

Gateway students get some opportu-nities other students do not, Davenport said, including the chance for more intru-sive advisement and workshops on time-management and test-taking skills.

Illinois considers legalizing marijuanaSPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Marijua-

na advocates are trying to lay the ground-work for Illinois to become the first state in the Midwest and the ninth nationwide to le-galize recreational pot, arguing the move will help solve the state's notorious budget crisis.

Two Illinois state lawmakers introduced legislation last week that would allow resi-dents 21 and older to possess, grow or buy up to an ounce (28 grams) of marijuana and license businesses to sell marijuana products subject to regulation. They say it would help fill Illinois' multibillion-dollar budget hole with $350 to $700 million in new tax rev-enue.

A national advocacy group, the Marijua-na Policy Project, based the estimate on the proposal's $50-per-ounce wholesale tax, Il-linois' standard sales tax, federal marijuana consumption data and recreational pot pric-es in Colorado. The proposal earmarks 50 percent of wholesale revenues for the state's general fund and divides the remaining half 30/20 between education and public health.

Every state to legalize pot to date has done so by voter ballot initiative, according to Chris Lindsey, a legislative analyst with the project. But Illinois advocates are not alone in holding out hope for lawmaker ap-proval. Seventeen other states — including Missouri — are also considering legislative action.

Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Demo-crat who co-sponsored 2014 legislation that legalized medical marijuana in Illinois, is sponsoring the proposal in the House. She said states that legalized marijuana have seen an economic boost from increased tax reve-nue, new jobs and bolstered tourism.

"We're talking about all sorts of ways of raising revenue," Cassidy said, referring to state lawmakers' efforts to break a two-year budget logjam. "We might as well be talking about this, too."

But she and fellow Chicago Democrat Sen. Heather Steans, who sponsored legis-lation that succeeded in decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of pot last year,

know their new pitch could be a tough sell. They plan to jumpstart conversations with lawmakers, interest groups and the public this spring but won't move legislation for-ward in the current session.

Key players like the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police currently oppose the mea-sure. Ed Wojcicki, the association's direc-tor, called legalizing recreational pot "an en-forcement nightmare." He said existing sci-ence remains inconclusive about how to best identify impairment on the road and in oth-er compromising situations.

Democratic Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie, lead sponsor of the medical marijuana pro-posal, suggested the staggered timeline could help lawmakers gain a more complete pic-ture of potential benefits and consequences — especially as more data rolls in on Illinois' pilot medical marijuana program, which launched in late 2015.

"I do think this might be in Illinois' fu-ture," Lang said. "I certainly support the idea of having a discussion."

Illinois legalization advocates like Dan Linn, who directs the state chapter of a non-profit lobbying group called NORML, have long been working toward this conversation. Linn said states where pot is legal have re-corded no uptick in traffic fatalities. Instead of threatening public safety, he contended, regulating the already widely consumed sub-stance will take the business out of the hands of criminals and impose important regula-tions like quality and age controls.

"There's not a drug dealer in this country that asks for an ID when someone's looking to buy drugs," he said.

The proposal is launching at a time when the federal government, which still lists marijuana as an illegal drug, is consid-ering ramping up enforcement against rec-reational use. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said last month his department is reviewing an Obama administration memo that gave states flexibility in passing marijuana laws.

1 dead, 15 injured at Cincinnati nightclub CINCINNATI (AP) — A gunfight

broke out inside a crowded Cincinna-ti nightclub early Sunday, leaving one man dead and 15 others wounded after a dis-pute among several patrons escalated into a shootout, authorities said.

No suspects were in custody by late af-ternoon in the shooting at the Cameo club, which has a history of gun violence, and po-lice said there was no indication of any ter-rorism link.

Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said one of the wounded was in "extremely criti-cal condition," while a hospital spokeswom-an said two victims were listed in critical condition.

Police began receiving calls at 1:30 a.m. about gunshots at the club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati. Isaac said some 200 people were inside the club, one of the few hip-hop venues in the city, for music and dancing.

Isaac identified the dead man as 27-year-old O'Bryan Spikes, but provided no other details. He said 15 others were injured, with some already treated and released from hos-pitals.

"What we know at this point in the in-vestigation is that several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar, and it escalated into shots being fired from sever-al individuals," Isaac said. It wasn't clear how many people fired shots.

Club patron Mauricio Thompson de-scribed a chaotic scene in which as many as 20 shots were fired as people scrambled to get away. He said there was a fight and peo-ple were yelling for security to intervene be-fore the gunfire began.

Isaac said the club has its own securi-ty operation that uses detection wands and pat-downs, but that police believe several firearms got inside. Four officers were work-ing security in the club's parking lot and

some tried unsuccessfully to revive the man who died.

The club has a history of gun violence, including a shooting inside the club on New Year's Day in 2015 and one in the parking lot in September of that year, City Manager Harry Black said.

Police Capt. Kim Williams said there was "just a lot of chaos, obviously, when shots were fired."

"Saturday night, it is a very young crowd. We have had incidents here in the past, but this is by far the worst," she said.

A single body was removed by the coro-ner shortly after 6 a.m. A federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives team was also at the scene.

Among the injured, five were treated at the University of Cincinnati Medical Cen-ter and released, hospital spokeswoman Kel-ly Martin said. She said two people were in critical condition and another two were list-

ed in stable condition. She had no details on the types of injuries or the ages of the vic-tims. Other injured people were taken to or drove themselves to other hospitals.

Authorities asked anyone with informa-tion to come forward. Investigators were checking to see if surveillance cameras were working, Williams said.

An Associated Press phone call to the club Sunday morning went unanswered.

The area is mostly industrial but also home to several nightclubs with a smatter-ing of homes. A regional airport is nearby. The neighborhood is fairly desolate at night, with the exception of the nightlife scene and 24-hour gas stations. The road where the club is located was easily cordoned off by a single police cruiser and officer at either end.

First responders had problems reaching the shooting victims because the parking lots were full, Sgt. Eric Franz told the Cin-cinnati Enquirer.

Candidates for vice president positions discuss plansBy Chrissy Miller Administration Reporter| @DEN_News

The student government will have elections for its executive po-sitions Monday and Tuesday.

Students will be sent an email in their panthermail letting them vote for the candidates.

Derek Pierce and Juan Never-az are both running for executive vice president. Pierce, current stu-dent vice president of student af-fairs, said as executive vice presi-dent, he would work to ensure all voices are heard in the State Capi-tol and the Board of Trustees.

“After serving as vice president of student affairs and talking to various organizations and count-less students, I believe I have a firm grasp on our collective con-cerns,” Pierce said.

Piece said he aims to improve overall campus relations with the local community by forming a strong relationship with Charles-ton and i t s Chamber of Com-merce.

On student government, Pierce has been a senator, chair of the business affairs committee and the vice-chair of the Apportionment Board.

“In my current role as student vice president of student affairs, I planned Pantherpalooza both se-mesters and oversaw the alloca-tion of over $420,000 in student fee money,” Pierce said.

Juan Nevarez, a senior psychol-ogy major, said he will represent the students in front of the Board of Trustees profes s iona l ly and maintain constant communication with all organizations on campus.

Nevarez said he does not just want to be a voice for students, but faculty as well.

“I seek to represent the univer-sity down at Springfield by lobby-ing for the university, as every sin-gle faculty member here is fam-ily and should be represented as such,” Nevarez said.

He said if he gets the position, he would work to fix the senate retention rate and increase ben-

efits for students who are part of Student Senate.

“(Low retention rates) affect the effectiveness of the officials re-sponsible to represent the student body,” Nevarez said.

Neva re z s a id he wou ld im-prove the experience of students by reaching out to the students on campus and developing a sense of unity.

“Students should be open to discussing their issues with me and I will represent every single student on campus,” Nevarez said.

The candidates for student vice president of academic affairs are Rebecca Cash and current senator Tarve’a Durant.

Cash, a sophomore public rela-tions major, said she would work extensively with the deans of each col lege to make sure s tudents’ voices are being heard.

“Responding to your academ-ic issues will be my top priority,” Cash said. “I want to give more recognition to organizations that are excelling in their academics.”

Cash said she would also like to continue coming up with more ideas and events for “Prowling with the Prez’,” events where stu-dents get to interact with Eastern President David Glassman.

Cash is currently the treasurer for Sigma Sigma Sigma, executive vice president for the Panhellen-ic Council and University Board’s concert coordinator.

“I have been in charge of mul-tiple different committees due to my involvement in multiple or-ganizations and each committee comes with a vast range of person-alities,” Cash said.

Durant has been involved with the student government for a year.

If elected as student vice presi-dent for academic affairs, Durant said he would reach out to stu-dents about their thoughts involv-ing academics.

Durant said he wants to make students more aware of the pro-cess for grade appeals and invite students to attend student gov-ernment meetings to help educate

students on what student govern-ment is and what it does.

“I would reach out to RSOs and all of the student body because sometimes they go unnoticed, like the graduate students and interna-tional students,” Durant said.

Durant said being a senator has helped him to develop skills that will help him to interact with the community.

Current senator Zac Cohen is running unopposed for vice pres-ident of student affairs.

Cohen said during his semes-ter as a senator, he has been able to have an inside eye and observe the current vice president, Pierce, at work.

Cohen is now the vice president of the Apportionment Board, a mem-ber of Sigma Chi, a member of the Student Action Team and a member of the Student Publications Board.

“We just want to make it so all of the incoming freshmen get the experience that we think would be beneficial to them,” she said. “We can’t assume because you have a high ACT or a high GPA that you necessarily know how to navigate through higher education.”

Davenport said some students have expressed to her that they wish they could participate in some of the activities Gateway students do.

“What we want to be able to do

is we want to be able to offer our students through standard (admis-sions) a freshman experience where they get the chance to have intru-sive advisement,” she said. “They would get an opportunity to at-tend some of the workshops we of-fer for our Gateway students….we just want to make it so all of the in-coming freshmen get the experience that we think would be beneficial to them.”

A meeting between the academic

advisers and Gateway advisers, was held Friday morning to talk about the potential changes.

Davenport said both sets of ad-visers would be meeting on a regu-lar basis in the future to see how the proposal would work.

Gateway adviser Yolanda Wil-liams said the meeting consisted of a lot of questions from Gateway ad-visers.

They had heard from other peo-ple the change was coming, Wil-

liams said, but this meeting was the first time they had officially heard about the proposal.

She said part of her concern about the changes came not from not being sure what is happening, and she also had concerns over how services would be provided.

The advisers in Ninth Street Hall are great, Williams said, but the ad-vising styles, program and require-ments for students are different.

“I really care about this program

and I really care about these stu-dents,” Williams said.

Davenport said Gateway has al-ways been the same and always will be.

“We are as an institution, I think, we’re going to have to make some changes,” Davenport said. “This is one I think is a positive one.”

The editorial staff of The Daily Eastern News is still growing. Everyone whose hands touch the daily paper before it reaches newsstands (save Tom, our pressman) is a student.

As a result, we make mistakes. Sometimes we misprint information and sometimes we miss grammatical errors and sometimes we misspell names.

But we try to stick close to our code of eth-ics. We would like to believe that we do not make ethical mistakes as often as we make grammatical mistakes because journalistic eth-ics are so near to the center of what we do.

The code of ethics that The News follows is the Society for Professional Journalists’ ver-sion. It highlights four basic principles: seeking and reporting the truth, minimizing harm, act-ing independently and being accountable and transparent. Each of these principles is clarified with more specific points.

The SPJ’s Code of Ethics makes it clear that journalism should be a profession that high-

lights accuracy and fairness in information, re-spect for all people involved in the news pro-cess (from sources to journalists to readers) and responsibility and responsiveness to the public.

We realize that journalists are frequently characterized as conniving, sneaky sorts, tak-ing handouts from corporations and tailoring the news to fit our preexisting agendas, even if it means distorting or dismantling the truth. We also realize that these ethical failures do ex-ist and that some journalists are really that self-serving.

However, we are not those journalists. We take ethics seriously and believe developing a deep, comprehensive sense of ethics is one of the most important parts of learning to be a journalist.

The Code of Ethics is far too long to edito-rialize in one short piece. We would, though, like to highlight some of the portions of the Code that we hold dearest to our hearts, and the ones that we think are more pertinent to

the opinion page. The Code encourages us to “support the

open and civil exchange of views, even views [we] find repugnant.” The opinion page cele-brates differences of view and interest, and the writers who are featured on this page come from many walks of life and ideologies.

Additionally, the Code asks us to “give voice to the voiceless” and to “seek… voices we sel-dom hear.”

We want to be a mouthpiece for interesting stories from interesting people. We want to be accurate and fair at all times. We understand that we do not always make these goals

But we are working towards a better News. We encourage our readers to review the Code of Ethics and understand what guides us as journalists and as public servants.

I feel that, for some, the latter half of the spring semester is a very depressing time. We are stuck be-tween a short break and a three-month-long sum-mer in a time filled with nearly six weeks of final pa-pers, group projects and exams. However, there is no reason to despair, for one has so many oppor-tunities to thoroughly enjoy what springtime in Charleston has to offer.

The first thing I would recommend doing is spending an hour or two at the Doudna steps with friends. The steps are a great place to socialize, play guitar, work on homework or eat with one’s peers.

However, this time of year, the weather can be rather unpleasant and unpredictable. In the case of a cool, rainy day, Netflix and snacks in your dorm makes a great alternative if the steps are not an op-tion.

If you or anyone you know has a car, I would recommend taking the 15-mile trip out of Charles-ton to visit the world’s fastest soda machine. It is not a hard drive, and then the soda itself only costs 75 cents. Whenever I visit, my friends and I try to catch the soda before it falls to the bottom of the machine.

However, I know many of students do not have a car, and even if you do, gas is especially expensive. Though that is unfortunate, instead you may find that an evening with Netflix in a cozy, clean dorm can be just as fun.

One of the best parts of childhood was decorat-ing the sidewalks with chalk drawings. Luckily, we live on a campus that tolerates college-sized children to draw on the concrete. A perfect afternoon only requires a bit of sunshine, some chalk and an active imagination.

Though, as previously mentioned in this column, sometimes the weather can be pretty terrible. And chalk costs money. And sometimes your imagina-tion is hard to come by when you’re just counting the hours to summer (or even graduation). Perhaps then it is best to stay behind and enjoy a couple epi-sodes of your favorite show on Netflix.

Perhaps, if you’re feeling a bit blue, spending an hour or two every few days at the Rec center can help you get back on track with all of your aban-doned New Year’s resolutions. I understand that the Rec offers a variety of classes and equipment throughout the day to ensure that every student can find a fun, personalized workout experience.

But maybe your gym shoes have a hole in them, or do not seem to fit your feet all that well anymore. Or maybe you had a big lunch and you just want to make up the workout later, or tomorrow, or next week. In that case, maybe watching a movie or two on Netflix would give you time to digest or wait to find a new pair of shoes.

March and April are probably the worst months of the year, but maybe, this year we can take it a lit-tle bit easier. Instead of counting down the days un-til move out, work ahead and finish a little bit of your long-term projects every day. That way, once the weather gets nicer or the classes get more in-tense, you will have more time to do things like sit-ting on the Dounda Steps or using sidewalk chalk.

I myself am only a sophomore, but I would like to make a quick shout-out to all of my graduating friends out there and a reminder that these are your last few weeks of your college career. Remember to take time for yourself and enjoy being a Panther, be-cause finals, summer and graduation cannot seem to come quick enough for some, but for others, all too quickly.

Last week I discussed the importance of being cautious when encountering direct quotations in print sources. Fortunately, it is usually easy to dou-ble-check cherry-picked quotes to see if they accu-rately represent the author’s views.

The same problem exists in any kind of print journalism, whether in a traditional newspaper or online blog. But some journalistic conventions make it more difficult for readers to know what the person being interviewed really thinks. Journal-ists are taught to prioritize in-person interviews over email interviews, for instance, and there are plenty of good reasons behind it.

Interviewees talk more naturally than over email, making it easier to understand, whereas emails may be written in an unnatural style to hide the truth or promote their organization. Reporters can also pick up information from body language, tone of voice and the surrounding environment that are not avail-able through email.

The assumption is that people reveal their tru-est selves face-to-face, but this is not necessarily true. Some people may become nervous or intimidated by speaking with a reporter. Others are simply better at written than verbal communication, myself in-cluded. I need time to gather my thoughts, carefully choose my words and double-check my facts. I am not very accurate or articulate when I am put on the spot, even when asked about subjects I am knowl-edgeable about.

One of journalism’s roles is to be the watch-

dog for public interest, which may partly explain the preference for in-person over email interviews. I agree that elected officials and others in pow-er should be put on the spot. But that has its own drawbacks, because then they avoid interviews as much as possible so as not to fall into the dreaded “gotcha” moments.

Even when all parties are acting in good faith, miscommunication can occur. People just do not speak in perfectly coherent, grammatically correct English, so reporters must paraphrase. This is of-ten more challenging than it sounds, especially since nonverbal cues like sarcasm are difficult to convey accurately. Reporters and editors must also make de-cisions about punctuation when they translate from spoken word to print, which can change the mean-ing significantly.

Other conventions contribute to the possibili-ty of miscommunication between interviewee and reader. Reporters are taught to avoid being a charac-

ter in their own story and instead become an invisi-ble observer, which keeps the article focused on the interviewee and helps curb subjective bias.

But it also means that direct quotes from inter-viewees lose much of their context. The interviewee did not speak those words spontaneously; it is usu-ally in response to a question asked by the reporter. The question that prompted the answer, however, is rarely printed.

Many readers not familiar with journalistic style may assume that stories are written in roughly chronological order, but this is not the case. Instead, it usually follows the “inverted pyramid,” where the most important information is placed at the top and the least important at the bottom. This makes it eas-ier for readers to scan over an article quickly, but it also scrambles the order of events and may cause the reader to infer unintended connections between nearby paragraphs.

None of this is to suggest that print journalism as a whole cannot be trusted. Every news medium has its own pitfalls, and miscommunication is an in-evitable side effect. Both reporters and editors are trained to look out for those pitfalls and to ask criti-cal questions to ensure accuracy. But readers should still take caution, whether they are opening up The Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, or The Daily East-ern News.

The Couture Models of EIU strutted down the runway donning black-owned Chicago fashion lines Friday night in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Ballroom.

However, clothing was not the only showcased at the fashion show that Friday.

Painting and music were also part of the show.Cydne Garrett and Shadezja Garrett emceed

the event, while DJ Gabby provided the musical entertainment for the show. Before the intermission there was also a rapper and painter who

performed together. The spring Fashion Friday Show featured Chicago

based clothing lines including Traperella, Rich So, Dream Collection.Co, Lady Killer, Tony D. Banks, Designer Zoh and Slayhouse.

Choosing black-owned clothing lines was part of Couture Model’s President Andrianna Fullerton’s effort to support blacks and other minorities.

The clothing lines featured many designs ranging from casual dress to semi-formal attire. One clothing line, Dream Collection.CO had an artists physically paint a design on a white dress as if it were a canvas.

The line, Lady Killer, is owned by Eastern Alumni Orlando Thomas.

The ballroom was completely full, with people having to stand in order to watch the show. After intermission there was still a line of people wanting to get in.

Many attendees were friends and family of the models as well people who were fans of the clothing lines. Those who attended also received a glass coaster as a party favor.

The models meet on Tuesdays and Thursday at 1 p.m. in the basement of Andrews Hall. That is where they practice their runway walk and techniques.

Young’s plan to improve communication be-tween the student government and students in-cludes the creation of a presidential cabinet.

This cabinet would consist of different frater-nities and sororities on campus, students from different registered student organizations and a diverse group of students.

The third candidate for student body presi-dent, Williams, is a former student senator who resigned out of frustration over what he calls inef-fective leadership in Student Senate, which made other senators leave.

If elected, Williams wants to address the sen-ate’s retention rates.

“Too many senators leave the senate because they feel unwelcome and are faced with too many strict requirements that interfere with their class work,” Williams said. “I will work with the exec-utive board to reform these requirements so that more senators will want to stay on board.”

As an AmeriCorps VISTA alumnus, he had to coordinate the effort of a statewide anti-poverty initiative.

He said this gave him the experience to man-age Eastern’s budget, recruit talented volunteers and ensure that student government can produce results.

He plans to reach out to the media to fight for higher education funding.

“When our state leaders fail us, or call groups such as Fund EIU ‘crazy,’ I will make sure the media is reporting upon these failures,” Williams said. “(Gov.)Bruce Rauner, (Sen.) Dale Righter, and (Rep.) Reggie Phillips work for us, not the other way around.”

Williams said as president, he would reassure minority students and members of the LGBTQ community that the student government will stand against federal policies and rhetoric that he said unfairly target members of the university.

“College is meant to be a time of learning and growing, and nobody should spend college living in fear,” Williams said.

Eric Davidson, interim director of Health Service, proposed three possible offerings for a master’s pro-gram in college health promotion during a meeting for Workgroup No. 8, Academic Visioning I.

Davidson suggested combining both the master’s in college student affairs and the master’s of science health promotion and leadership into a 3-year dual master’s program.

According to the academic catalog, both masters’ programs offer similar courses, including HST 5810: Research Methods for Health Professionals and CSD 5505: Research Methods in College Student Affairs.

“Instead of the student taking two different (statis-tics) classes from two different departments, they take one stats course if they have to do a thesis in the stu-dent college affairs program and a thesis in the health promotion program, instead of doing two theses, combining those two projects into one and kind of giving them the credit,” Davidson said.

Davidson also proposed two forms of college health certificates.

One certificate will mainly cater to students inter-ested in either a master’s in college student affairs or health promotion and leadership programs, because the certificate will offer courses that are required in both.

The other certificate would not have any connec-tion to the two master’s degrees, so students with dif-ferent majors and interests could participate in it.

If the workgroup decides to recommend a certif-icate or a dual master’s degree program, it will allow Eastern to offer a graduate program that is not pro-vided by any other higher learning institution, Da-vidson said.

Nora Pat Small, interim chair of the history de-partment, said workgroup members should focus on how sustainable the proposed programs are to en-sure increased enrollment for years to come instead of looking at what is “cool” now.

“I like the idea of thinking about sustainability, be-cause this didn’t happen overnight that we are at this critical low enrollment,” Small said. “We have to rec-ognize that it is going to take a number of years to re-gain and grow to the size we want to grow to.”

The program in health promotion was proposed out of a perceived need, because most employers in the health promotion field expect candidates to have a master’s degree, Davidson said.

“The need for the field is growing; interesting-ly, the academic preparation has not followed. I have tried to see if there are any master’s degree programs that offer a specialty, that offer a concentration, that offer a certificate,” Davidson said. “I was able to fine none.”

Davidson said offering a graduate program could

increase enrollment by capturing students who are in-terested in getting a master’s degree.

“Students are going through these undergradu-ate degrees and probably have to make a choice-‘Am I going to continue with my health education route and hope that I get the job, or will I go to a college of student affairs type program?’” Davidson said.

This was the last presentation the workgroup will hear.

Workgroup members will use the information from all the presentations to complete its final recom-mendations.

Workgroup chair Jeff Stowell said members will look at the program proposals and determine how it will impact enrollment because this is the work-group’s focus.

“We will use the data that we have to make our best judgment on how it will affect future enrollment growth over time,” Stowell said.

The workgroup will focus on groups of related program fields, particularly in health, business, agri-culture and education.

The next meeting, when the group will discuss the formal structure of its recommendations, is set for 2 p.m. in room 2118 of Blair Hall.

Come back tomorrow to get the scoop on what’s happening at EIU and in Charleston!

By Ben Bruflat Contributing Writer | @DEN_News

When five teenagers discover an ancient power deep within a mine, they are tasked with using their newfound abilities to defend the Earth from a resurrected evil in “Saban’s Power Rangers.”

“Saban’s Power Rangers” was directed by Dean Isrealite (Project Almanac).

I was not the biggest Power Rangers junkie growing up, but I did watch some of the old shows. I also played with my blue and

green rangers, so I know a little about Saban’s lore.

T h e c o n c e p t o f t h e Pow e r Rangers is simple: join forces and defeat evil monsters. When the movie reached its third act, that concept i s exact ly what was in store.

However, it was the two acts before the action that had me the most invested.

Each of the five rangers had a unique personal i ty and gained depth as the movie progressed.

The standout per former was the blue ranger, played by R.J.

Cyler. It may not have been easy portraying a man with autism, but Cyler pulled it off in a tasteful fashion.

T h e i n t e r a c t i o n s a n d r e l a t i o n s h i p s b e t w e e n t h e s e strangers-turned-partners went t h r o u g h t h e e x p e c t e d t w i s t s and turns, and their on-screen chemistry really worked.

Br yan Cran s ton’s po r t r aya l o f Zo rdon , an anc i en t b e ing embedded in a sh ip who ac t s a s t h e r a n g e r s ’ m e n t o r, w a s surprisingly good, especially as he was playing a face in a wall.

Whi l e th e ma jo r i t y o f th i s movie was trying to be grounded and somewhat gritty, Elizabeth B a n k s ’ r o l e a s t h e e v i l R i t a Repulsa was straight out of the ‘90s show.

I typically enjoy Banks’ acting, b u t s h e r e a l l y d e l i v e r e d t h e cheese this time around. This was symbolic of the main issue with the movie: tone shifts.

Scenes jumped from sci-fi to action to drama too often, which was incredibly jarring to watch.

I l iked most of the scenes by themselves, but they did not mix

well together, reducing the overall effect of the movie.

In the end , “Saban’s Power Rangers” was everything I was hoping it would be - fun.

T h e s c r i p t i s n o t p e r f e c t , t h e r u n t i m e i s a l i t t l e l o n g and the tone - especia l ly from Banks – was not always fitting. However, this served as a great g u i l t y p l e a s u r e . I f y o u l i k e the Power Range r s f r anch i s e , “go, go” to a theater and enjoy.

The Panthers continued Ohio Val ley Conference play Friday against Eastern Kentucky.

The Panthers started off the day strong, as they clinched the doubles point early.

Senior Kamile Stadalninkaite and fresh-man Shelby Anderson won their doubles match in dominant fashion. The duo de-feated Marina Marti Hernanz and Raquel Montalvo Perez in a sweep 6-0.

Freshman Emily Pugachevsky and soph-omore Shristi Slaria clinched the doubles point for the Panthers. The pair defeated Laura Argente Escamilla and Sagung Putri Dwinta by a score of 6-4.

Pugachevsky and Slaria have been the Panther’s most productive doubles team this season as they own a record of 7-3 on the year when paired together.

Freshman Stella Cliffe and senior Kel-ly Iden rounded out the doubles card for the match. The duo was defeated by Kristi-na Lagoda and Viktorija Demcenkova 7-5.

The Panthers seemed to run out of steam when singles play began.

Iden started things off for the Panthers from her No. 1 spot. The senior defeated Lagoda in a hard fought three set match 7-5, 7-6, 7-5. The win puts Iden at 10 wins for the season, joining Cliffe as the second Panther to reach double-digit victories this season.

Iden is in the midst of one of her stron-

gest campaigns with the Panthers. In her fourth and final spring season, she appreci-ates conference play more than ever.

“I enjoy the heightened level of compe-tition (in OVC play) because it brings a vi-brant, indescribable environment,” Iden said. “We not only compete on the courts together, but we also positively cheer for

each other and form a stronger bond.”The Panthers did not have much luck af-

ter that victory though. Eastern Kentucky bounced back from an early deficit, as they earned a win from the next three spots, as well as at No. 6. The Colonels defeated Cliffe, Slaria, and seniors Maria Moshteva and Stadalninkaite in the No. 2, 3, 4, and 6 spots respectively.

The Panthers next singles victory came from Pugachevsky, who finds herself on a three-match winning streak. Pugachevsky defeated Margaux Lacroix in a grueling third set, 2-6, 6-3, 10-8 to notch her third win in a row.

The defeat Friday puts the Panthers at 9-6 on the season and 1-2 in conference play.

The Panthers continue OVC play next weekend. They are set to take on Belmont Friday the 31st and Tennessee State Satur-day, April 1st. Both matches are set to take place in Nashville with play set to begin at 2 p.m. Friday.

Seniors Ruth Garripo and Bryn Buckwal-ter took home the only top honors for the Panthers in the 5,000-meter run and the shot put, respectively. Garippo finished in 18 min-utes, 00.34 seconds. Buckwalter tied with Northern Iowa’s Allison Griffin as each ath-lete tossed the shot put 45’3”.

The highest individual finishers for the men were sophomores Ashton Wilson and Clayton Turner. Wilson earned the silver in the high jump after clearing 6’6.25”, and

The men’s 4x100-meter relay team also picked up a second-place win. Sophomores Brandan Lane, Ja’Marcus Townsend and Mi-chael Miller and senior Jamal Robinson coast-ed through the race in just 41.28 seconds.

Robinson was also third in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.83 seconds. Lane was fifth in the same event with a time of 10.96 seconds. Miller earned points with his fourth-place, 400-meter finish of 49.19 seconds.

Track, field runs away with 27 top-5 finishes

By Adam ShayWomen’s Golf Reporter | @DEN_Sports

After 36 straight holes on the Hickory Ridge Golf Club course, the Eastern Illi-nois women’s golf team placed 11th at the Southern Illinois University Saluki Invita-tional with a score of 660.

The Panthers finished three spots higher from their 14th place finish last weekend, while also finishing strong with a 12 stroke improvement from their first round total of 336 to 324 second round total.

Leading the Panthers was junior Anne Bahr who t ied for 24th place . In the first round, Bahr shot an 84 which was 12 strokes over par. However, Bahr had a seven stroke improvement in the second

round, shooting a 77 and totaling her score to 163.

Bahr said she didn’t have to make any ad-justments to improve her score. She settled into a rhythm after the fourth hole of the first round.

“I didn’t make any adjustments from the first round,” Bahr said. “The nice thing about 36 holes is that it keeps going. 8 of my 12 strokes from my first round came in my first four holes, after that I settled in and continued through the day.”

Senior Chloe Wong also made improve-ments from her first round score of 84. Wong improved five strokes and scored a 79 second round total, making her total score 165 and placing her tied for 35th.

Throughout the 36 holes, Wong said it

was her positivity and consistent tee shots that helped lower her score.

“I stayed positive and made sure I was fo-cused on each shot,” Wong said. “I felt re-ally comfortable over the ball and was con-sistent with my tee shots.”

For the rest of the Panthers, senior Mad-ison Burgett tied for 42nd with a total of 165, followed by senior Alexandra Pickens who tied for 55th scoring a 171 total. Se-nior Erika Von Itter rounded out the five Panther golfers, finishing 72nd with a to-tal of 189.

Pickens said it was her tee shots that caused her problems this weekend.

“I need to work on my tee shots,” Pick-ens said. “They put me in some trouble to-day.”

Southern Illinois finished in first place with a team total of 602, led by senior Brooke Cusumano who finished first indi-vidually with a score of 144 and breaking par.

The Panthers have the next weekend off before they travel to Terre Haute, Indiana for the Indiana State Invite. As a team, Bahr said the extended practice time will only help the team prepare for the next tournament.

“It’ll be nice to have a decent amount of time in order to get some work in,” Bahr said. I think in general, we’ll make sure to get some short game and iron work.”

It is not something the Panthers want to make a habit of, but when facing an early deficit, they were able to erase that and come out with the win. Two out of the four wins the Panthers picked up were comeback victories.

The Panthers went 3-1 over the weekend against Belmont and Ten-nessee State. Eastern lost the open-er against Belmont 4-3 in the sev-enth, won 3-1 in the second game, 5-3 against Tennessee State in game one and 9-1 in the second game.

Tennessee State scored twice in the top of the first inning in the first game against the Panthers on Sun-day, but after that, the Panthers’ bats came alive and they eventually pulled out a 5-3 win.

Eastern was able to do it with two outs to score both runs in the first. With a two-run lead and two outs, Danica Gleason was given an inning-ending groundball, but she booted it and the inning continued.

Freshman Mia Davis reached on the play and was driven in on fresh-man Haley Mitchell’s double to right center and she was driven in on Friday night’s hero Amber Toenyes.

That was not the only time East-ern trailed it that game and had to piece together a comeback.

Courtney Geralds laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt in the third inning to score Kasey Cox and give Tennessee State a 3-2 lead. Cox led off the inning with a double.

Eastern had an answer. It scored three runs in the bottom half of the third to take the lead.

“Today, the first inning was a huge wake-up call for our team,” coach Kim Schuette said. “It wasn’t looking too good for our team. I kind of got on them a little bit, but they responded in the bottom of the first and came back with two runs right away. That was good because

that is starting to show me some toughness.”

What helped Eastern Sunday against Tennessee State was hav-ing lively bats from the whole line-up. But that was not the case Friday against Belmont.

Wind was blowing in hard in the first game and died down a bit for the second, but it was still enough to play against Eastern’s hitters until the sixth inning.

The Panthers had just one hit in the game until they pieced togeth-

er a three-hit inning capped off with, once again, a two out three-run home run by Toenyes.

Wind blowing it, the mindset was to keep the ball on the ground or line drive. And the way her home run went out, was a version of a line drive. It was a shot that left the field quickly.

“That’s not my usual home run. Usually it’s like towering, but I’m glad it was like that because I don’t think it would have went out if it was too high,” Toenyes said.

She has six home runs on the year. The comeback wins are fun

for the team to play in and fun to watch, but playing with a lead is more comfortable, Schuette said.

And despite having put the Pan-thers in a hole early, the pitching held the team together for most of the weekend. And that is where it starts for Eastern to not have to be the comeback kids every game.

“Whenever you’re the home team, that pitcher is going to set the tone and I think both our pitchers are

OK with that but now the defense has to realize that they’re going to set the tone, just not the pitcher and that was the big wake-up call in the first game (Sunday),” Schuette said.

Juniors Jessica Wireman and Mi-chelle Rogers pitched all 26 innings this weekend.

Wireman picked up two wins and Rogers earned a win as well. Both pitchers have ERAs below 3.00

Eastern wins game three of weekend series

JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSJunior Dougie Parks eyes homeplate while teammate Justin Smith prpepares to lay down a bunt in game 2 of Friday’s doubleheader against Murray State. Parks finished 2-for-3 with 2 runs scored in the 11-10 loss.

The Eastern baseball team had a wild weekend in their scheduling of their games against Murray State. What would have been a doubleheader, game two was cut short in the seventh inning due to darkness because Coaches Stadium does not have lights, leading to another “dou-bleheader” on Saturday.

In the final game of the series, the Rac-ers started the second inning with a lead-off double by Tyler Lawrence and follow-ing that, Ryan Perkins reached first on a dropped-third-strike by a throw that over-shot the first basemen by redshirt junior Justin Smith which allowed Lawrence to score. The Panthers would end up hav-ing three errors, two of which came in the fourth inning. But those defensive errors would later mean nothing when there was a 4-6-3 double play that came in the eighth inning that saved the Racers from scoring to cut the lead down to one.

“We didn’t play good defense and we didn’t throw enough strikes,” coach Jason Anderson said.

The Panthers were tied going into the bottom of the seventh inning at five when junior Logan Beaman drew a walk. Junior Dougie Parks then saw a slider coming on the inside corner from Mur-ray State’s Chance Carner and a strike was called.

“I knew that pitcher was working slid-er away a lot on our guys. I saw a lot of

guy flailing, missing pitches up, and so I was thinking ‘I was a four hitter. I know he’s probably going to come at me with a slider,’” Parks said. “So I waited on the slider and hit it to right field. Good things happen I guess.”

The next pitch was that slider away and Parks got the extension on his hands that he needed to score the runner at first with a triple. Parks’ triple sparked the go-ahead run and the Panthers would not look back.

“That was definitely big for the team,” Parks said. “Tie, 5-5 ballgame, just kind of waiting for anybody who is going to get the big hit and drive in the go-ahead run. I’m happy in this game it ended up being us in the end.”

The Panthers would end up winning 7-5. In the second game, it was another Panther comeback but this time, it did not have the same outcome.

The Racers were up 6-0 in the fifth in-ning when the Panthers started a come-back. The Panthers scored five straight runs. Smith and redshirt Frankie Perrone singled to start off the inning then junior Andrew Curran tripled in the two runs then junior Joseph Duncan hit a two-run homerun. The Panther bats kept it com-ing even in the next inning. The Racers got three runs in the top of the sixth, but the Panthers answered right back with an-other five run inning to take the lead 10-9. The game would get suspended in the seventh and continue in the eighth in-ning the next day. The Racers would tie the game up in the eighth and would take the win with an RBI triple from Adam Bauer.

Despite the two losses, coach Ander-son was still pleased with the fight the Panthers had in them in this series.

“This team just don’t quit,” Anderson said. “To be ahead seven runs, we give away that game in game one, game two we’re down big and have a lead late, pret-ty much give that one away too. To be down four or five runs in the third game and to stick with it and win it, it’s impres-sive that these guys don’t give in. I’m ex-cited to see where we take it from here.”
