A spokesman for Gov. Jim Edgarsaid the governor is “ready to roll”with the announcements of trusteesto the five Board of Governor’sindividual boards.
Tom Livingston, special assistantto the governor for education, saidEdgar and his staff are “prettymuch done with all of theselections,” but have a fewfinalizations before officiallyannouncing the names.
“We’re not ready to pinpoint adate, but you can probably expectthe announcement by Oct. 20 – butit’s not a sure thing,” Livingstonsaid.
Livingston said Edgar will returnto Springfield Sunday from a trademission in Europe and make finalpreparations before appointingtrustees.
“We can’t release any namesnow because the governor has toput the final word in on (the ap-pointments),” Livingston said. “Wedon’t want to cause any undospeculation.”
Eastern President David Jorns,who earlier this week said thetrustee announcement date wouldbe Oct. 20, said he hopes the
g o v e r n o r ’ soffice doesn’tdelay anylonger becauseo r i e n t a t i o ntime is verylimited.
The BOG isset for termi-nation Jan. 1,when individ-ual boards will
take governance over the five BOGschools.
“I hope (the governor) doesn’twait any longer because we arerunning out of time,” Jorns said.“We must have our trusteesinformed by January because weneed to hit the ground running.”
Jorns said complex issues suchas the structure of higher education,the role of faculty, budgeting andfunding, bargaining procedures anduniversity bylaws must be taught tothe trustees who may have littleexperience in higher education.
“A university is unlike any otherorganization in the country,” Jornssaid. “It is a very unusual andcomplex structure run somethinglike a corporation.”

The $179,000 raised through the sale ofabout 5,000 parking permits since Julymight be used to construct an additionalparking lot in Greek Court, said PhysicalPlant Director Ted Weidner.
Weidner said it is still being debated ifthe funds from the permit sales will beused for construction of the lot. However,the project can not get under way untilnext year because this year’s budget hasalready been appropriated, Weidner said.
“We will be developing more plans latein winter when asphalt plants open up,”Weidner said.
Asphalt plants are only open from Maythrough November because warmertemperatures are necessary to make andapply the asphalt, he said.
Weidner also said the project can not bedone during the school year because the

Several resident assistants saythey can see an increase of re-sponsible drinking among students,which has resulted in a reduction ofalcohol-related incidents inresidence halls.
Resident and night assistants saystudent conduct has improved incomparison to last semester.
Joe Cantona, a senior computermanagement major and an RA inCarman Hall, said he has notencountered too many problems onhis floor.
“This semester is a lot betterbecause every semester there is adifferent group of people, but thestudents this semester seem to bemore responsible, Cantona said.”
Cantona said there are basicallythree kinds of students that attendcollege: students looking for aneducation, students looking for asocial life and education, andstudents only seeking a social life.

Four Eastern faculty members want toprovide input into the community’spublic education by running for positionson the Charleston School Board andColes County Regional Board of SchoolTrustees in the Nov. 7 election.
Max Jones, business manager forWEIU–TV and candidate for a seat onthe regional board of t rustees, is aveteran of the public office scene. Hebegan serving his first term on the schoolboard in 1978.
“I was appointed to fill out an existingterm,” Jones said. He added his positionis up for re-election because of the re-organization of the trustee board.
Douglas County recently entered intothe five-county area overseen by theboard. The board is being re-organized toallow for the entrance of the new county.
Because only one person from each ofthe five counties is elected, Jones said hebelieves he has “a 99.9 percent chance inwinning.”
The remaining faculty membersrunning for seats on the CharlestonSchool Board said they have differentreasons for wanting to enter the school
board scene.Glenn Robinson, an associate
journalism professor, said he is runningfor the school board because he feels thathis knowledge in technology will behelpful. Robinson, who is on sabbaticalfrom the university, said when we “enterthe next millennia,” the school will haveto look at ways for computer systems tobe more efficient for educational reasons,adding technology is crucial for thefuture.
“Over the next five to 10 years, theschool board will have to make sometough decisions,” said Robinson, who hasan 18-year-old stepson attending Char-leston High School.
Stuart Michelson, an associate
professor of finance, who is also runningfor the school board, said he likes to takepart in local activities.
“I haven’t run for public off icebefore,” Michelson said. “I want to workon allocating money for the school boardin the best possible manner.”
Michelson added that his two children,because of his past involvement incoaching several local athletic teams, arenot as excited about his involvement inthe school board.
“My wife doesn’t have a problem withit,” Michelson said. “It will be somethingelse I can schedule into my free time.”
Richard Sylvia, the fourth facultycandidate running in the Novemberelection, was unavailable for comment.

The Daily Eastern News
WASHINGTON (AP) – Overvociferous Democratic opposition,House Republicans muscled legis-lation through committee onWednesday that would squeeze$270 billion from Medicare overseven years while expanding healthcare choices for the elderly.
The vote in the House Ways andMeans Committee was 22-14, withall GOP members of the panelembracing the bill and allDemocrats opposed.
Action in a second committee
was briefly interrupted by ademonstration staged by elderlyactivists of a labor-backed organi-zation, an incident that underscoredthe passions stirred by the legisla-tion.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich isexpected to bring the measure to avote in the full House next week. Asimilar bill is pending in theSenate. President Clinton hasthreatened a veto.
Capping a contentious three-daydebate in the Ways and Means
Committee that he chairs, Rep. BillArcher of Texas said Republicanshad “kept our word’’ and devised aplan that assures Medicare’s sol-vency for current senior citizensand “for those who will becomesenior citizens.’’
“They’re using our seniors topay for tax cuts,’’ said Rep.Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., arguing– as do President Clinton and mostcongressional Democrats – that theGOP was merely plunderingMedicare to finance a tax reduction
for the rich.The measure would slow the
growth of the giant health programfrom an estimated 10 percent ayear to roughly 6.4 percent. Mostof the savings would come fromcurtailing planned increases in feesfor doctors and hospitals, althoughseniors would pay higher premi-ums, as well, with the wealthy pay-ing much more.
At the same time, the legislation,drafted under Gingrich’s personaldirection, would let senior citizens
choose alternatives to the currentfee-for-service Medicare, such ashealth maintenance organizations.Senior citizens wouldn’t get breakson their premiums for joiningHMOs or other managed-careplans, but they might get betterbenefits, such as prescription drugsand eyeglasses.
Citing a report by Medicare’strustees, Republicans say the mea-sure is necessary to stave offbankruptcy for a Medicare trustfund.
Ways and Means Committee passes Medicare reform
looking for an education and social life, whichcreates a nice mix of students,” Cantona said.
Alec Nevalainen, a senior sociology majorand also an RA in Carman Hall, agreed thatstudents are becoming responsible for theiractions.
“The students are better this year than theywere in the past.
“People are more aware of responsibilityand are aware of consequences for theiractions,” Nevalainen said.
Harvey Pettry, a senior political sciencemajor and an RA in Taylor Hall, said thereduction in alcohol-related incidents is sur-prising.
“I am kind of surprised because I thoughtthere might be more problems with students,”Pettry said.
Things don’t always go smoothly in the res-idence halls, however. Increased noise in lob-bies and hallways, alcohol consumption byminors and parties in the dorm rooms arecommon problems that plague residence halls.
Beverly Studzinski, a senior speech com-munication major and an RA in StevensonHall, said although her floor is a lot betterthan others, she has encountered several alco-hol-related incidents.
“One of the biggest problems I have had is
the possession of hard alcohol by students,”Studzinski said. “I will hear noise in a roomand want to check it out, and will see hardalcohol and confiscate it.”
Studzinski says it’s tough trying to keepstudents quiet when they are drunk becausethey don’t understand why they have to bequiet.
Rick Plocinski, a junior marketing majorand night assistant for Taylor Hall, said he hashad minimal problems this semester withnoise in the lobby as compared to lastsemester.
“Noise violations were a lot worse lastsemester, but it still gets a little crazy around 1a.m. when the bars close,” Plocinski said.
Plocinski says he expects it to get a littlecrazier around Homecoming Weekend, whichis slated for Oct. 27-28.
Patricia Garcia, a freshman undecidedmajor and night assistant in Carman Hall, saidstudents are generally under control except forperiodic episodes.
“There are some fights, some students thatstagger in and some students that will walkinto walls. But for the most part, they are con-trolled,” Garcia said.
Residents in halls say they understand theRA’s are doing their jobs but say some can be
pushy in their efforts.Jeremy Ballard, a freshman sociology
major and Thomas Hall resident, said residentassistants sometimes worry too much aboutthe business of others.
“(Resident assistants) can take the rules toan extreme and worry too much about whatgoes on behind closed doors,” Ballard said.
Jeff Jones, a junior business marketingmajor and Stevenson Hall resident, said thenight assistants will sometimes act rude whenquieting students or handling confrontations.
“They are overbearing because they try toenforce the rules too harshly,” Jones said.
However, not all students think RA’s aretyrants when carrying out the duties of thejob.
Becka Wahl, a freshman undeclared major,said the assistants are doing an efficient job athandling students.
“The (resident assistants) do a good jobcontrolling the noise during the week andweekends,” Wahl said.
Amanda Curtis, a freshman flute perfor-mance major and a resident in Carman Hall,agreed with Wahl.
“The (resident assistants) do what they canto control the floors and noise, and I thinkthey do a good job,” Curtis said.

lots are filled with faculty, staffand students. Weidner said itwould be too difficult for therepairs to be made with the lotsfilled.
“Normally we do mainte-nance in the summer when lotsare less occupied,” he said.
The funds raised through thesale of parking permits havebeen used to improve Eastern’sparking situation over the lastthree years, Weidner said.
Last year, funds from theparking account were used toconstruct an additional parkinglot in Greek Court as well as totear down old buildings and con-struct a new parking lot on NinthStreet.
Utilities Manager Gary Reedsaid there is a five-year mainte-nance routine for the sealing andcrack repairs of parking lots.Weidner said there have beenvarious maintenance projectscompleted over the last threeyears. Maintenance involvesthings like repavement, paintingand patching.
Funds from the parkingaccount used in repairs are col-lected from the sale of parkingpermits and fees from parkingmeters away from the MartinLuther King Jr. UniversityUnion, said administrative assis-tant Suzanne Ashmore.
Since no fees for the parkingaccount come from tuition andfees, the account is self-support-ing and dependent upon sales forrevenue.
The facilities account is themain account under the parkingaccount Ashmore said that themoney from this account canonly be spent on the buildingand repair of lots, construction oflighting for lots, as well as theplacement of things such assigns for the lots.
who has sole authority over appointing boardmembers, is very excited about naming theboards to the five BOG schools, particularlyEastern.
“The governor is truly excited because this isa once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to goback to his original university and really takepart in shaping its future,” Livingston said.
“As an Eastern grad and supporter of highereducation, (the selection) takes on special mean-ing (for the governor) – 25 or 30 years ago hewas studying for finals (at Eastern),” he added.
The announcement of trustees by the gover-nor’s office will be through a press releasebecause the amount of information on each per-son would clutter a press conference, Livingstonsaid.
Livingston said the governor is choosingtrustees from throughout the state with differentbackgrounds to instill diversity and perspective
on the boards.“The governor was specific when he put the
word out that he wanted a geographic balance ofpeople with business perspective,” Livingstonsaid.
“We want reasonable people with a generalinterest in higher education who can worktogether despite different party affiliations,” headded.
Eastern’s governing board will consist ofseven members with no more than four from onepolitical party affiliation.
“The governor wanted to make sure all thenames weren’t coming from the alumni associa-tion’s or president’s suggestions,” Livingstonsaid. “We wanted people from a variety of places– it will be a balanced board.
“There was a really good pool of applicantsfor Eastern – somewhere around 125 from allover the place.”
“(Board members) will match somewhat tothe demographics of the school,” Livingstonsaid. “There will probably not be as manyminorities on Eastern’s board than on (ChicagoState University’s board) – it’s apples andoranges because they are different universities.”
Livingston said the governor and his staff willcompliment the five BOG universities in theirorientation processes.
The five schools will be working with theAmerican Association of Governing Boards, anational board focusing on the functions of gov-erning boards, to assist in the transfer processand get the boards to stand alone, Livingstonsaid.
“It is an important year for Eastern historical-ly, and it’s a real good opportunity for Eastern tostep it up a notch because we are putting a boardin whose sole purpose is the prosperity ofEastern,” Livingston said.

While many students were still wrapping up theirsummer activities before the start of the school year,the EIU Marching band was hard at work.
The week before classes started, the band membersworked every day rehearsing for the busy seasonahead of them.
“The band worked literally from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m.every day,” said Joseph Manfredo, director of bands.
The band now rehearses every Monday, Wednesdayand Friday for about an hour and a half, and for twohours on Tuesday. “They do all this for one hour ofcredit,” Manfredo said.
And now that Eastern’s Homecoming is nearlythree weeks away, they’re even busier.
Among the band-related activities for Homecomingare the usual game performances, a pep rally, theSaturday morning parade and tailgate performances.The band is working on blues selections for the occa-sion.
“We also have to work in a rehearsal during thattime,” Manfredo said. “The band will be very busy,but they are looking forward to it. It’s a chance to per-form for a lot of people. For a performer, that’s thegreatest part.”
The members are excited about Homecoming notonly because of the crowds, but because they enjoy
cheering for Eastern.“They have outstanding school spirit,” Manfredo
said. “They are a very enthusiastic group, and they arethere to support their team.
“It’s easy to be enthusiastic about such a greatteam,” Manfredo added in reference to Eastern’s foot-ball team, which currently owns a 5-1 record.
“We have a lot of school spirit,” said DawnHeavilin, a junior elementary education major andtrumpet player. Heavilin said that of the three yearsshe’s been playing in the band, this year it has themost spirit.”
Junior English major and flute player MarleahMcKinney agreed with Heavilin. “If you come to agame, you can see that pretty much the whole band isfull of spirit,” she added.
“It’s a lot of work,” McKinney said. “But I have somuch fun I never consider it work. The payoff is fargreater than the work part of it.”
Heavilin would like to see more fans at the footballgames. “It makes me kind of mad that we don’t have abig crowd when the team is doing so well,” she said.“We should be very proud of our team. They practicevery hard and deserve our support.”
Manfredo has a different point of view. “I don’tworry about the people who aren’t in the stands. Iworry about entertaining the people who are,” he said.
Manfredo said he appreciates the band’s dedicationand enthusiasm.

A rural Charleston man wasrecently arrested at Panther’sLounge after allegedly making anadvance toward a topless dancerand then trying to fight with otherpatrons inside the establishment.
William J. Riley, 23, of ruralCharleston was arrested on disor-derly conduct charges early Sat-urday morning outside of Pan-ther’s, 1421 Fourth St.

The Student Senate Wednesday voted to table anamendment to the Student Body Constitution thatwould allow students to directly amend the constitu-tion without senate approval.
The amendment, which was authored by StudentSenate member Bryan Gutraj, would allow students tosubmit amendments to the constitution without goingthrough the senate if the student obtains signaturesfrom 15 percent of the student body.
The Student Government Elections Commission,consisting of non-senate members, would then havefinal approval of the amendment.
The new amendment would also allow senate mem-bers to make constitutional revisions if two-thirds ofthe senate vote for the revision. The student bodypresident would then appoint a committee to makesuggestions for the proposed revision, and its sugges-tions would again require an approval vote by two-thirds of the Student Senate.
The amendment will be voted on at the Oct. 18Student Senate meeting.
Gutraj has declined to speak to the media until theamendment is voted on, and there was no discussion
on the amendment at the meeting.No additional resolutions were considered by the
senate Wednesday, and Senate Speaker Kevin Piketsaid he is uncertain of when new resolutions will bepresented next week.
“As far as resolutions, we have an amendment nextweek, but I can’t predict what resolutions senators willpresent, because they’re all working on different pro-jects,” Piket said. “Hopefully we can get (ideas) out ofthe round table discussion and see what studentswant.”
The senate’s round table discussion with differentrecognized student organizations is tentatively sched-uled for Nov. 2.
In other senate business Wednesday:■ The senate heard a presentation from Keith Lipkeand Brian Nicholson of the Interfraternity Councilwhich explained how the IFC operates as well assome events it sponsors.■ The senate voted to recognize the Society ofMetaphysical Advancement and the group PeopleOffering Women’s Equality and Rights as recognizedstudent organizations.
The Society of Metaphysical Advancement’s pur-pose statement is to establish an ecumenical society ofmetaphysical and occult tradition.

The author of “The Closing ofThe American Mind,” AllenBloom states that almost every stu-dent entering college believes orsays that truth is relative.
Listen to these words and askyourself if they sound familiar: “Itis only my personal opinion,” or“If you think it is alright, then it’sOK, but I’m personally against it.”
A common use of this thinkingis in the abortion debate: “I don’tapprove of abortion, but if awoman wants one, that’s her choice and I’m not going to stopher.” This is an example of relative thinking, where there isno one “right” view.
But isn’t that equivalent to saying, “If you don’t likepornography, don’t watch it”? Or “Don’t like slavery, don’town a slave”?
Have you ever come across someone that believed that allmorality was relative? That there is no absolute right orwrong? You might be one of those people.
Is this really a reasonable position to take? Too many pro-fessors and students believe “What’s right for one person maynot be right for another.” I wonder what that person will dowhen another person who thought it was right to lie, lies tothem and betrays them.
And just because people or societies disagree about certainmorals does not mean there are no objective morals, or vice-versa.
The following people are just some of the prophets ofmoral relativism: Bertrand Russell, Jean Paul Sarte, FriedrichNitsche and finally Soren Kierkegaard. Their writings haveinfluenced the morality of the 20th century like Adolf Hitlerdid to World War II. With their philosophy one will run intothe problem of the law of non-contradiction – which statesthat “A” cannot be “A” and not “A” at the same time. Whenthis is applied to morality:
The pope becomes no more virtuous than Hitler. Theybecome equally moral because they are their own judges.
Now, one can’t have relativemorals and still believe that there isobjective truth.
Beware of the intellectuals andthe Ph.D.s of your day – your pro-fessors – who think they know itall. These professors are afraid totell some students they are wrong.The reason? The professors areafraid of having no tolerance forother views.
Well, what if – and again, whatif – the students are wrong? Who
then will tell them?The only absolute today is that there are no absolutes. This
of course is self-contradictory. The professors who say “thereis no truth” must be asked if they are teaching only opinion.
With this view, the only thing forbidden in the universityclassroom is to say a belief is true. That would mean thatsome of the students are wrong and that would be “judgmen-tal.”
Some students today really believe that reality will changeand adapt to our view of the world, that morals change justbecause we believe they will, that God exists only if webelieve it. This is ludicrous and dogmatic. If something istrue, it stays true no matter what people say, believe or thinkabout it.
Picking a religion or moral system is not like picking a fruit– a pick-whatever-you-like-best mentality. The most impor-tant issues in life should be checked out for validity and notby our feelings.
Don’t believe everything your teachers, parents or pastorssay. Don’t even believe everything you read – even this. Youowe it to yourself to evaluate if something is really true orfalse. Especially about morality. It will define who you are.
The next time someone tells you, “There is nothing that istruth,” ask them, “Excuse me, but is what you just said true?”

Student lobbyistsmust be readyto stand alone
Right and wrong are not debatable
KHALDOUN SWEISGuest columnist
“The profes-sors who say‘there is notruth’ must beasked if theyare teachingonly opinion.”
With the appointment of a student lobbyingteam, it’s good to hear that Student Government istrying to get involved in Illinois politics.
The 12 members hope to make a stronger salespitch for funding Eastern, which typically is one ofthe lowest funded public universities in Illinois.
But the students appointed to the lobby teammust follow through on the organization’s plans –to bring more funding to Eastern and also create apowerful voice for Eastern students in the legisla-ture.
One of the first challenges to that will be tryingto draw a line between themselves and university
lobbyist Chris Merrifieldand Jill Nilsen, the specialassistant to PresidentDavid Jorns. The lobbying
team will be taught by Merrifield and Nilsen aboutthe day-to-day operations of the General Assembly.
Merrifield and Nilsen’s initial instruction will bevital to get the student lobbyists on their feet.However, the students should focus solely on stu-dent interests regarding funding and be ready toclash with the administration if need be.
Students should not rely on Merrifield andNilsen as their sole source of information. Theyshould investigate issues on their own, usingsources as diverse as the magazines in BoothLibrary, college advocacy organizations, budgetreports and other legislators.
Students and the university will usually agreeEastern needs more money. But where should thatmoney be spent? And what about issues of accesson campus to things such as police reports andjudicial hearings, diversity issues, and a votingmember in the future on the university’s governingboard.
The lobbyists should be ready to find their ownallies in the Legislature who may not find as muchcommon ground with the administration. Alliancesshould also be made with other student lobbyinggroups, if there are any.
Student lobbyists should not feel compelled towork with Merrifield or Nilsen at all times. Thetwo university officials will help students find theirway and assist them on many issues of governance.
But students should be ready to stand alone, andfind information not filtered through the university.
Credible, independent student lobbyists will bethe best thing for Eastern.
Editorial
Dear editor:I am writing in response to the
Sept. 28 editorial on Vice Presidentfor Public Affairs Jason Anselment(“Vice president no longer serves stu-dents’ interests”). It was very unpro-fessional for The Daily Eastern Newsto print such a column full of falseinformation about the candidate thepaper endorsed for this position.
Nobody wants to pay more money,but many times it cannot be avoided.Tuition increases will be found at anyschool every year. With Eastern beingthe lowest tuition in the state, howcould any sort of increase be avoided?It could not.
Anselment worked his hardest tokeep Eastern with the lowest tuition inthe state while meeting the students’needs.
I know of many other students atthis university that don’t feelAnselment was out of line. They all
think all he is trying to do is increasethe quality of education that studentsreceive here with the lowest possibleincrease.
Also, why was there never anythingsaid about how he did everything thathe could to keep the increase down toonly 4.3 percent and keep Easternwith the lowest tuition in the state?Paying another $320 is not a lot com-pared to the quality of education thaton receives here.
The only reason why it could possi-bly look like Anselment is catering tothe administration’s needs is becausethey respect him. They respect him onhow he is able to do his job. Theyrespect him on how he is able to lookat the whole story and just not oneside of it (like many articles in TheNews).
I just wanted students to know thatAnselment is doing the best job possi-ble for his position. He has done nowrong and has made the best deci-sions concerning the students’ needs.
If he didn’t care about the students’best interests, then he wouldn’t spendevery spare minute of his day (andthen some) in his office.
I personally have never met a per-son that cares more about this univer-sity and does anything possible toimprove it.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – O.J. Simpson backed outof his live interview with NBC just hours before airtime Wednesday night, complaining that the networkwas out to “retry me.’’
He had agreed, he insisted, only to “a conversation,not a confrontation.’’
Days earlier, NBC said the former football star hadconsented to a no-holds-barred format for his firstextensive interview since he was acquitted last week.
Tens of millions of viewers had been expected totune in to the hourlong, commercial-free “DatelineNBC’’ interview that would have been conducted byNBC anchorman Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric.
Simpson suggested there were indeed conditions tothe interview.
“It was agreed that this would be a conversation,not a confrontation. Because of pending litigation,there would be some questions that I could not obvi-ously address at this time,’’ he said in a statement readby his lawyer Johnnie Cochran Jr. “It has becomeclear that NBC has, perhaps in an attempt to appeasediverse public viewpoints, concluded that this wouldbe a time and an opportunity to retry me.’’
Anything Simpson said on television could havebeen used against him in the wrongful-death lawsuitsbrought by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson andRonald Goldman. Simpson never took the stand at hisyearlong murder trial but may have to do so if the law-suits reach trial.
In another development Wednesday, Simpsonlawyer Robert Baker contended in court papers that
Simpson shouldn’t have to pay damages in the suitbrought by Goldman’s relatives because Simpson wasacquitted of his murder. The documents didn’t men-tion the separate suit brought by Ms. Simpson’s fami-ly.
Legal analysts have said that Simpson could stillhave to pay damages in a wrongful death suit eventhough he was acquitted. The civil action has a lessstringent burden of proof than the criminal case.
The cancellation was seen as a setback forSimpson, eager to counter widespread public outrageover his acquittal.
“Now, it’s a public relations disaster,’’ said legalanalyst Stan Goldman said, “as if he needed any morepublic relations disasters.’’
NBC’s announcement Monday that it would broad-cast the interview had prompted a storm of protestfrom groups and individuals inside and outside thenetwork who criticized NBC for giving a forum toSimpson.

Students and faculty can hearthe soothing sound of two Easternjazz combos when the groupsPharoah Connor and Seven Stepsperform in the Dvorak ConcertHall.
The two groups will performfree of charge at 7:30 p.m.Thursday in the Dvorak ConcertHall in the Fine Arts Building.
Mark Maegdlin, instructor ofthe jazz studies program anddirector of Pharoah Connor, saidthe two bands are composed most-ly of music majors at Eastern.
“Pharoah Connor will be per-forming a medley of a variety ofdifferent jazz tunes,” Maegdlinsaid.
Maegdlin is an Eastern alumni
and is in his first year of teachingat the university.
Pharoah Connor will performseveral pieces which were com-posed by Maegdlin as well aspieces such as “Stardust” byJimmy Van Husen and “Oleo” bySonny Van Husen.
Thursday’s performance willmark Maegdlin’s directing debut,although Maegdlin will not appearin front of Pharoah Connor duringits performance. Shane Pitsch isthe director of Seven Steps and amember of Pharaoh Connor.
Maegdlin’s said he selected dif-ficult music to challenge thegroups during the performance.
“I wanted to challenge the stu-dents and have it (the music) beinteresting from a player’s per-spective and a listener’s perspec-tive,” Maegdlin said.

To learn the basics about engi-neering and design, students in theTechnological Systems 1413 classmust successfully drop an egg 20feet onto pavement without itbreaking using three items to keepthe egg whole.
The drop will be at 1 p.m.Friday on the south side of KlehmHall.
Using a 20 by 30 inch piece ofposter board paper, Scotch Tapeand Elmer’s Glue, students mustdesign something to either resistgravity or break the egg’s fall.
Ray Richardson, a professor forthe school of technology, said theegg drop test is one of the projectsentry level classes use to learn thebasics about engineering anddesign.
Richardson said the most suc-cessful tactics used by the studentsto protect the eggs were either anair resistance device or deriving a
“crate” on the pavement to absorbpart of the impact of the fall.
“This is based on a creativesolution to this problem and theefficient use of material,”Richardson said.
The egg drop test is one of sixcriteria the forty-three involvedstudents are graded on for thecourse.
Richardson said the efficient useof materials is another importantcriteria for the egg drop.
“(I look at if) they use the leastamount of paper possible for theegg to service,” Richardson said.
Richardson said the most impor-tant parts of the assignment are:creativity; meeting the specifica-tions of materials that can be used;neatness of the project; and the“functional closure,” which mea-sures how easily the egg can bemoved in and out of whatever thestudents made to comfort the egg’sfall.
Richardson said about 50 per-cent of the class will usually pass

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP)– Agreeing with one anothermore often than not, theRepublican presidential candi-dates used their first televisedforum Wednesday to preach thevirtues of lower taxes and lessgovernment and the dangers ofgiving President Clinton a sec-ond term.
If the goal of Bob Dole’srivals coming into the forumwas to knock the GOP front-runner off stride, none appearedto succeed.
Dole delivered a crispaccount of why he believed hewas the best candidate in thefield and offered a detaileddefense of his conservative cre-dentials.
At every turn, Dole saidClinton was defending the statusquo against a new RepublicanCongress trying to balance thebudget, cut taxes and shiftpower from Washington to thestates.
“We must elect someone whoknows how to make thatchange,’’ Dole said. “I will notpermit the slow decline ofAmerica – a country that Ilove.’’
In advance, it appeared thatTexas Sen. Phil Gramm wasready to aggressively go afterDole, using a pre-forum rally tosuggest that Dole was a politi-cian all too ready to break hispromises.
“How are we different fromBill Clinton if we don’t keep ourpromises?’’ Gramm asked at hisrally.
But the Texas senator madeno such comparison during thetelevised forum, and never men-tioned Dole by name. His tough-est criticism of the Senatemajority leader came whenGramm pledged not to “cutdeals with Democrats inWashington because you knowcutting deals with Democrats inWashington is not going to bring

Mike Banasiak and Casey Peterson took“Charlotte’s Web” to heart when they werechildren.
In September, the two Eastern students setout in search of the perfect pet, travelling ahalf hour north to a farm in Monticello.
There they purchased a mini-potbellyblack pig with a white spot and white pawsfor $50 and named him – you guessed it –Wilbur.
And fellow students are digging the newpig.
“People think he’s cool,” said Banasiak, asenior physical education major. “He attractsa lot of attention.”
But the acquisition of their little friendWilbur hasn’t been without cost. They’vespent about $120 in the past month on a cage,pen and food. In addition, Wilbur’s pen islocated right next to Banasiak’s bed and isn’texactly the equivalent of a household airfreshener.
“The smell was really bad at first, but Ithink we’ve grown immune to it,” he said.
Although Wilbur is virtually potty-trained,they have to clean his cage daily.
“Right now, it’s a lot of work,” saidPeterson, a junior elementary educationmajor.
But they expect to tame Wilbur, and theway to Wilbur’s heart is through that protrud-ing belly, Banasiak said.
“They’re easily persuaded by food,” hesaid. “If you have food, he’ll be your bestfriend. But if you don’t have anything, he’svery stubborn or pig-headed, if you will.”
They’re hopeful they’ll be successful intaming him to be like man’s best friend “He’safraid of people right now, but he’s starting tolike the attention,” Peterson said.
Tipping the scales at 40 pounds, Wilburcan barely lumber two blocks on a leash.
“He’ll walk just like a dog when he getsolder,” Banasiak said.
They feed him pig pellets, dog food andtable scraps – but no bacon, ham or pork.
“I was gonna feed him some ham, but Ididn’t think he would think that’s a goodidea,” Banasiak said.
Wilbur has made a home in the basementapartment with the young couple, and theyexpect the average monthly costs to drop toabout $20. If all works out, he’ll remain intheir lives for as long as 20 years – the lifes-pan of the pig, Banasiak said.

In a building only a few miles west ofcampus, about 3,000 unwanted animalsare injected with a chemical that lullsthem into an immediate, silent and colddeath.
Animal testing by corporations isn’t theculprit, it’s a sin of the common people,says Roger Greenwell, an animal controlofficer at the Coles County AnimalShelter.
“You get to where you hate peoplebecause it’s their fault,” said Greenwell,who administers a sodium pentobarbitalinjection to about 25 animals every week.“If they would just spay their pets, Iwouldn’t have to do this.”
Across the country, an estimated 15 mil-lion animals are killed in shelters eachyear, the American Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals reports.
Greenwell said the animals he is forced
to kill would make excellent pets. “It’ssuch a waste,” he said.
Coles County officials pick up straysand abused animals every day.
Because many pets are not sterilized,strays continue to increase. ASPCAreports that 70,000 puppies and kittens areborn daily in the United States, while only10,000 children are born.
But spading doesn’t just reduce thenumber of unwanted animals, it alsoimproves a pet’s health, longevity and per-sonality.
“There are a lot of pros for (spaying),”Greenwell said. “It makes them muchnicer pets, and it reduces cancer rates inpets.”
“It can increase their lives for years, byreducing health risks,” he said.
Spaying usually costs between $65 and$80 for a female dog and between $40 and$65 for males.
Prices for cats and other animals run alittle lower.
The Coles County Animal Shelter ishome to about 25 dogs and about five cats.
Dogs cost $30 to adopt and cats are $20.But the Humane Society will pay up to$50 for spaying a female dog and $40 for afemale cat.
“It’s hard, you know, cause most of theanimals nobody seems to want them,” saidshelter director Sandy Seibinger.
Shelter houses, destroys unwanted pets
Coles County Animal Shelter DirectorSandy Seibinger holds a handsome straydog. The shelter is home to 25 stray dogsand five stray cats.
Casey Peterson, a junior elementary educa-tion major, and Mike Banasiak, a senior
physical education major, purchased theirpotbelly pig Wilbur in Montacello for $50.
“If you have food, he’ll be your best friend.”

A stray golden retriever namedNapoleon came to live on Eastern’s cam-pus in 1947 and began attending classes,football games and graduation cere-monies, the 1995 Warbler reported.
He made such a mark on Eastern’s his-tory that his portrait now hangs in OldMain, a stone memorial rests in the northquad and the 1959 yearbook was dedicat-ed to him.
“Napoleon used to come to class or hewould just lay out on the Quad or in OldMain and sleep,” said former Eastern stu-dent Linda Bagger, who brings her dog tocampus almost every evening.
The Baggers have fond memories ofNapoleon, who died about 30 years ago.
But the legacy of notable canines hasn’tdisappeared, nor has the popularity ofman’s best friend diminished on campus.
Lance Williams, a senior managementmajor, has a yellow labrador retriever thathas acquired some unique talents.
His dog, Jake, hunts with him and canleap to reach objects seven feet in the air,catch frisbees and even fetch beers out ofthe refrigerator.
“A lot of people get college dogsbecause they miss their dogs at home,”Williams said. “They’re good companionsto have around.”
But one of the challenges of owningpets while living the busy life of a studentis making sure the animals receive enoughfresh air and exercise.
Judy Anderson, a senior psychologymajor, often takes her dog Cera for five
walks a day when it is staying with her. “She likes people,” Anderson said.
Sometimes she also takes her dog out toFox Ridge State Park to explore therolling wooded trails.
Some dog owners have helpful room-mates that help care for their pets.
“I walk the dog everyday,” said CarolPowaga, a sophomore history major, wholooks after her roommate’s Dachshund-Beagle named Boones. “You can’t neglectsomething so cute.”
“There’s so much love from the dog,”she said. “It’s fun to have someone to playwith and take walks with.”
But not every part of rearing a puppy ispleasant.
“I stepped in pooh a couple too manytimes lately,” Powaga said.
In addition to the patience required forpotty training, puppy owners need somemoney in their pocketbooks.
“Puppies are very expensive,”Anderson said.
Dog owners say monthly costs for adultdogs range from $30 to $60.
So if it takes spending time on three tofive walks a day, and up to $60 a month,why would anyone be crazy enough tohave a dog around?
For one, some dogs can take place ofone of the most important devices for col-lege students – an alarm clock.
“(My dog) gives me a lot of motivationto wake up,” said Erin Lewis, a sopho-more art major. “He runs around real fastin a circle on my bed every morning.”
But the companionship is what mostcollege students say draws them to sacri-fice the extra cash and time it takes tohave a dog.
“I love having my dog here becauseshe’s always waiting for me when I comehome,” Anderson said. “She’s the bestfriend I could ever have.”
Students find friendship in canines
Max, a German shepherd, leaps for a stick held byLance Williams, a senior management major, Mondayin the Library Quad. Jake, a Yellow Labrador ownedby Williams, also looks for his turn to jump.

Eastern’s men’s tennis teamwon its final match of the fall sea-son Wednesday with a close 4-3victory over the Bradley Braves atthe Weller Courts.
Bradley jumped out to a quicklead against the Panthers, winningall three of the doubles matches.The team which wins a majorityof the doubles matches wins onepoint, thus the Braves had the
inside track to getting thefour points needed for theoverall win.
But Eastern stormedback in singles play, win-ning four of the six match-es to claim the 4-3 win.
“The doubles did notclick at all,” coach RosieKramarski said. “We’vebeen trying different thingsall fall – with three freshmencoming in. I thought it wouldcome together a little better.”
The singles matches proved tobe the difference for Eastern. BradRozboril struggled at No. 1 sin-gles, losing 3-6, 2-6 to JuanAzcarate. But the Nos. 2 through
5 singles picked up theslack for the Panthers.
Brad Cook breezed atNo. 2, winning 6-2, 6-0over Mike Pierson. At No.3 singles, Sargy Letuchybeat Chris Marino 6-3, 7-6(7-2).
Brian Landeweer, a 6-3,6-2 winner over ChuckRabb, and Dennis Alex-
ander, a 6-2, 6-2 winner over MattClose, closed out the scoring forthe Panthers. Eastern’s Mike Ja-cob lost to Cory Ehlan 1-6, 4-6 atNo. 6 singles.
Kramarski said the men had agood fall, especially at tourna-ments.
“Overall we played well in thetournaments that we entered (thisfall),” Kramarski said. “At theMarquette tournament, which wasthe strongest we entered in thefall, Brad Cook and Joe Kantorwon the finals of the back draw.”
Kramarski said her freshmen,Cook, Landeweer and Latuchy,stepped up their level of play.“They adjusted well and workedon their strategy, realizing the dif-ferent level of play from highschool to college,” Kramarskisaid.
The women’s team competesthis weekend at Ball State, andcloses its season the followingweekend at Louisville.

Spoo mentioned is how his teamneeds to be faster.
“They (Northern Iowa) out-quicked us, you might say,”Spoo said. “The teams that havehurt us (this season) are theteams with quickness.”
Spoo added that his coachingstaff may have prepared toomuch for the game between theNos. 21 (Northern Iowa) and 22(Eastern) teams at that time.
“In retrospect, we may haveover prepared,” Spoo said.“There were a number of blownassignments by guys who don’tnormally blow assignments. Wejust didn’t get into a rhythm atall.”
But Spoo did f ind somebright spots in his squad, mainlyin the defensive end.
“Defensively, our guys playeda very respectable football
game,” Spoo said. “They keptthem (Northern Iowa) in checkand kept the ball away fromDedric Ward. And that mighthave been enough if the offensewould have produced.”
Ward, the Purple Panthers’top receiver, did not catch a pass– ending a streak of 23 consecu-tive games in which he earnedat least on reception.
On the injury report, Spoo
said only one player will not bemaking the tr ip to WesternKentucky this weekend – puntreturner Jinho Ferriera.
Ferriera had arthroscopicsurgery on his knee Wednesdaymorning.
“We felt it was the appropri-ate time to do it because it giveshim two-and-a-half to threeweeks to come back for thestretch run,” Spoo said.
SPOO from page 12
Top of the Line: Four of the last five gamesthe Lady Panthers have played have comeagainst highly ranked Division II teams. At thetimes of the games, Lewis University was rankedthird in the Central Region, Southern Illinois atEdwardsville was ranked fifth, UMSL wasranked fourth and Quincy University was rankedsecond.
Steppin’ up: All six of Eastern’s remaininggames are against Division I teams, includingEastern Michigan University, Kansas Universityand the University of North Texas.
Get going: With Eastern’s record currently sit-ting at 4-9-1, a .500 season is still possible if theLady Panthers go 5-0-1 in their final six games.

Troy Aikman card, his $5 allowance wouldhave been enough to buy the card and pay foradmittance into the card show. Usually thatone dollar would have sufficed for entry. Nowthat Simpson has been prejudged by society,the need to raise the fee for his services, sincehe needs money and is now in more demand,will cost Johnny more money to get which hisparents won’t give him.
Society says justice has not been served.They are correct. What kind of justice is this?To deny Little Johnny the right to do whatpeople have been doing for almost 100 yearsis ridiculous and absurd.
Thirdly, does this incident hurt recruiting
for the University of Southern California?How many prospective student-athletes wantto be associated with Simpson? How manystudent athletes will be deemed bad by attend-ing USC? Only time will tell.
The true victims are Nicole Brown Simpsonand Ron Goldman, but O.J. Simpson, theirfamilies, football fans, prospective student-athletes for USC and especially Little Johnny,who is trying to buy a simple little piece ofcardboard, are all victims.
If society cannot be open minded for just afew moments, how can anyone think they willbe given a fair shake when he or she is in trou-ble?
PIOTROWSKI from page 12
“exceptional,” but apparentlyLovington High School did.
“I knew she was an incredibleplayer in college,” said RebeccaBoddy, one of Sadler’s players.“But now that she’s coaching forus I think she’s just awesome. Shehas helped this team outtremendously by being enthusias-tic.”
Boddy’s teammate Ryan Cast-eel agreed that their rookie coachhas brought drastic change to theLovington volleyball program.
“She has taught us to be aggres-sive and she really pushes us to doour best,” Casteel said. “She knewhow to improve us and we arereally lucky to have her experi-ence helping our team. She knewwhat needed to be changed toimprove us.”
Sadler said the Lovington pro-gram was on the laid back sidewhen she joined its forces. And togo with her fast-paced attitudetoward life, Sadler also brought anew attitude to Lovington’s vol-
leyball team.“Before I
came, I thinkpractices werefun, gameswere fun,” Sad-ler commented.“I believe wecan have fun,but practiceshould not befun. I believethat the playersshould be in aperfect line forthe national anthem because itlooks sharp. I like things crisp, andI don’t think Lovington was readyfor that just yet.”
As for missing the game sheexcelled at so often during herdays at Eastern, Sadler said sheonly misses playing to a smalldegree.
“Once in a while I miss play-ing,” Sadler said. “But I don’tknow how people can think I missit all that much because I’m
involved withv o l l e y b a l levery day incoaching. It’sso much fun toshow a playerwhat to do orwhat to changeand then watchit work for thatplayer.
“It gives methe same kindof high that Iwould feel after
a big kill when I was playing. I’mstill just as involved in the sport.”
Although Sadler’s career as aplayer appears to be over, she doesnot rule out the possibility of turn-ing professional – an opportunitythat was once presented to her.
“Some scouts talked to my par-ents after a game at DePaul mysenior year and they were interest-ed in me,” Sadler said. “I had threemonths to think it (turning pro)over. I wasn’t scared to make that
step, but I just thought, ‘It’s timeto move on to something else.’
“I love volleyball, but I wasn’twilling to give up everything totrain eight hours a day for thepros. But who knows about thefuture.”
Sadler’s team begins to file outof Tuscola’s gymnasium after thevarsity match is over. Sadler isrelaxing and joking with a groupof her players. Shy is not the termto use with Sadler because shetalks a blue streak.
Leaving the gym, she reflectsback on the evening’s match andwhat her team has accomplishedthus far in the season.
“I enjoy the age of these kids,”Sadler said. “They have just theright amount of obnoxiousness. Ilike to act a little crazy sometimesand they’re into that at this age. Asfar as the team goes, I don’t taketotal credit for the success.
“But I take credit for some of it.I demand a lot and I think I get alot.”

Now that O.J. Simpson cele-brates his freedom, pending thecivil suits brought by the Brownand Goldman families, I am dis-turbed by society’s views on whoall the victims really are.
Many people give their sympa-thy to the families of NicoleBrown Simpson and Ron Gold-man, which is rightly so. But hasanybody considered who else inthe world of sports has been vic-timized by societal prejudgment?
Consider these points on thecondition that O.J. Simpson istruly not guilty.
His livelihood with the sportsworld which he dearly loved hasbeen ripped away from him. Hecan no longer be seen as O.J.Simpson the Hall of Fame foot-ball star that he once was. Howmany people who predeterminedhis guilt knew that he was theonly running back in NationalFootball League history to runfor 2,000 yards (2,003) – when hedid it in 1973? Did you know hedid it in 14 games rather than the16-game season that today’s run-ning backs have?
What will happen to Simpsonnow?
First, in an interview withESPN on Nov. 29, 1994 and re-played in a SportsCenter Special“O.J. Simpson :The Verdict,”Dick Ebersol, president of NBCSports and vice-president of NBCNews said, “If you (O.J. Simp-son) are set free of these horriblecircumstances we can sit downand cross the bridge of your fu-ture employment. And he (Simp-son) said, ‘I don’t think I everwant to do that kind of stuff everagain. I want to move a longways away and enjoy (my chil-dren).’”
Why would he want to returnto work ever again at NBC as anon-field analyst? All the peoplewho prejudged him would boohim out of the stadium. Fans atVeteran’s Stadium in Philadelphiawould snowball him out of Phillylike they did to Santa Claus. Ra-dical feminists and those otherfactions who are against somemen will never associate the termNBC football analyst with Simp-son. They will never consider himas a great football player or as adecent or above average analyst.Their bias against some menclouds their judgment of who aregreat superstars and role modelsin the sports world.
Secondly, when Simpson be-gins to sign autographs at cardshows again, according to ESPNhe will charge roughly double (atotal of $50,000) of what he usu-ally charges organizers for him toappear.

Sports world a victim of O.J. saga
By MATT ERICKSONStaff writer
The Lovington High School Panthers wereat it again Tuesday night. The school’sjunior-varsity volleyball team knocked off theTuscola Lady Warriors 15-9, 13-15, 15-9.
The team is operatingunder a first-year coachwho has transformed a los-ing record in 1994 into a19-3 mark this season.
The coach: Kaaryn Sad-ler, former Eastern volley-ball standout.
Sadler’s team name maynot have changed (Pan-thers), but her duties defi-nitely have. One thing thathas remained a constant,however, is her consistent breakneck pace.
“I’m happy to get a win tonight,” Sadlersaid after her squad’s victory. “We playedpretty good, but I want them to work quick indrills and games. I won’t have anyone withtheir hands on their knees and I alwaysexpect them to be quick on their toes.
“But my personality tends to be pretty
breakneck anyway.”After light small talk of her team’s win, the
conversation turns more personal. The casualobserver might not grasp exactly the kind ofpace Sadler operates on. Breakneck is anunderstatement.
“I love to coach,” Sadler said. “But I’m astrict coach and I’ma strict teacher. Iexpect a lot out ofmy players as well asmy students.”
Sadler does notbelieve that being“strict” is going toofar. With high expec-tations, her playersand students willnever be in the dark on whatthey need to do to keep her
happy.“I figure that if I expect a lot, I’ll probably
get a lot,” Sadler said. “I want these kids toreach high. If they do that and fail, they’vestill done more than if they would not havetried at all.”
Such was Sadler’s attitude during her play-ing days at Eastern from 1991-94. She left
coach Betty Ralston’s program as perhaps thebest volleyball player ever to grace the courtfor the Panthers.
Sadler tied the NCAA Division I record formost 20-kill/20-dig matches in a season withnine her senior year, and her 13 20/20 match-es in a career is fourth all-time in NCAA-I.
She also finished 17th in the nationin kills and digs – one of only threeplayers to be in the top 20 in bothstatistics in 1994.
Among the seven school recordsshe holds are career kills (1245), sea-son kills (563), match kills (34) andmatch digs (35). But Sadler takes allof this in stride.
“You know, I look through here(Eastern’s 1995 media guide) and I
think, ‘I was just another player,’” Sadlersaid. “I never thought of myself as the playerto watch in any match, even though someteams said that of me.
“I just thought we were all the same then. Itried not to think of myself as being anexceptional player. But I did try to be a leaderfor the team.”
She may not have considered herself

Although Eastern had its nine-game win-ning streak broken last weekend, that doesn’tmean the 5-1 Panthers can’t win the rest oftheir games to finish the season at 10-1, headcoach Bob Spoo said at his weekly press con-ference.
“We hope to go 10-1,” Spoo said. “I thinkthe whole league (Gateway Conference) is
still up for grabs. You try tolook through all of thosescenarios.”
One of the scenariosSpoo speaks of is when 5-1Indiana State travels toCedar Falls on Saturday totangle with 3-2 NorthernIowa. If the Sycamoresshould win, and Easterntops Indiana State in Terre Haute on the finalweekend of the season, there would be a three-way tie for first place in the Gateway – barringany more losses between the three squads.
But with the season over the halfway point,Spoo is not denying his interest of possiblyplaying in the postseason. The Panthers havenot made it to the playoffs since the 1989 sea-son, when they made it to the second round
before losing to Montana 25-19.“Certainly a 10-1 record, I would think,
would be good enough to get in anybody’splayoffs,” Spoo said. “The hope is to tie forthe conference, or finish second to get an at-large bid for our record.”
A 9-2 record also might get the Panthersinto the playoffs, but Spoo said the team’schances of making the postseason declineafter that record. Spoo pointed out last year’sWestern Illinois squad as an example. TheLeathernecks finished with an impressive 8-3mark, but were denied entrance into the post-season tournament.
Spoo reflected on the Northern Iowa contestin what went wrong, and what the players andthe coaching staff needs to do in order to learnfrom its first defeat of the season. One aspect
After a disappointing tourna-ment at the University of Miss-ouri at St. Louis, the Lady Panthersoccer team gets a mid-week break before con-tinuing its road trip thisweekend.
It’s the first time infour weeks Eastern doesnot play a Wednesdaygame, and the team willuse the time to preparefor the longest trip of the season.
The Lady Panthers travel to theUniversity of Arkansas at LittleRock before visiting MemphisState University Sunday.
Trends I: Eastern’s two lossesat the Coca-Cola Soccer Classichosted at UMSL continued theteam’s trouble on the road. Thisseason, the Lady Panthers are 1-6-1 away from home, including 0-2-1 on the current trip with twogames remaining.
