Students prepare to talk about the need for a new social move-ment, while revisiting the past in an upcoming discussion panel, at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Room 4440 in Booth Library.
T h e p a n e l , “ Re v i s i t i n g t h e Civi l Rights Movements of the 1960’s” i s par t o f the Revolu -tionary Decade series at Booth.
Felix Kumah-Abiwu, a profes-sor of Africana Studies, wil l be
moderating the panel. The stu-dents in charge of the panel are from the African-American So-cial movement course.
The panel will focus on some o f t h e s u c c e s s e s o f p a s t c i v -i l r i gh t s movement s and a l so look at the current conditions to see if a new social movement is needed.
“The whole idea of our presen-tation is going to center on the Civil Rights movements against racial segregation in many parts o f t h e s ou th ,” Kumah-Ab iwu said.
The pane l wi l l focus on the idea of representation, both then and now, for African-Americans all over the country.
“The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s has really brought
the conc i senes s o f the Amer i -can public to things such as the Jim Crow Laws,” Kumah-Abiwu said.“ The laws virtually separate blacks and whites and because of that, there was oppression in public facilities.”
The student panel will be us-ing the ideas from the past to an-swer the question of whether or not there needs to be a new so-cia l movement to help address the current state of affairs going on in the country.
“The struggle for civil and po-l i t ical r ights i s the centerpiece for our presentat ion,” Kumah-Abiwu said. “We know that there have been g rea t ach ievement s that have been made in terms of progress.”
Panel to address social issues

An advisory question to gauge pub-lic opinion on birth control will be part of the ballot for the midterm elections on Tuesday.
The question will ask if health insur-ance companies should be required to cover prescriptions for birth control as part of their normal coverage.
Ryan Woods, the president of EIU College Democrats, said this should be covered, and it already is under the Af-fordable Care Act.
Under the Affordable Care Act, 29.7 million women have gained addition-al care under their private health in-
surances, which does cover contracep-tive services, according to the U.S. De-partment of Health and Human Servic-es website.
Woods said this is a type of question to see how the public feels about certain issues; depending on how the question is received, it could be used as a plat-form to run on for further elections. He said birth control coverage could be-come the next hot-button topic.
As part of the Affordable Care Act, the Health and Human Ser-vice mandate requires companies to provide and facil itate health essentials including contracep-tives.

EDUCATIONHe wants to give educators more autonomy in running their schools and letting families choose what school fits their children’s needs, paying teachers based on merit, and spend-ing more on teachers and classroom technol-ogy rather than administration.

Gubernatorial candidates differ on issues

By Stephanie Markham News Editor | @stephm202
Vying for the title of Illinois gov-ernor in Tuesday’s midterm elections are incumbent Democratic candidate Pat Quinn and Republican candidate Bruce Rauner.
In addition to their party differ-ences, the candidates both have dis-tinct qualifications and campaign promises.
Quinn served as Illinois’ lieuten-
ant governor from 2003 until 2009 when he assumed the position of for-mer Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was impeached.
He also was the Illinois state trea-surer from 1991 to ’95.
Quinn earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University and a doctorate from Northwestern Uni-versity’s School of Law.
He is 65 years old.According to Quinn’s campaign
website, he wants to raise Illinois’
minimum wage from $8.25 to at least $10 over the next two years in order to alleviate poverty, drive eco-nomic growth and ensure workers’ fair treatment.
The website also lists creating jobs as an issue important to Quinn, cit-ing that he created construction jobs with the Illinois Jobs Now! law and initiated the Illinois Small Business Tax Credit to benefit small business-es.
Additionally, Quinn’s budget
would invest in education, giving $1.5 billion to expand early child-hood education and attempting to double MAP Grant funding.
Ryan Woods, president of the EIU College Democrats, said Quinn is a viable candidate because he helped to rebound Illinois after the reces-sion, and though opposition cites Rauner’s business experience, Woods said Quinn has already balanced Illi-nois’ budget.
“Because Bruce Rauner is a ven-
ture capitalist and he made a bunch of billions of dollars does not trans-late into ‘OK, he knows how to make a state run well,’” Woods said. “Running a state isn’t about making money, it’s about providing services to the citizens of the state.”
Woods also said Quinn has been forthcoming in challenging the leg-islature, having suspended all legisla-tive pay in order to force congress to pass a budget.

Staff Report
Applications for resident assistants for the 2015-2016 academic year are now available through University Housing & Dining Ser-vices.
The deadline for the application is 4 p.m. Jan. 16, 2015.
Chad Franks, the publicity promotions specialist for University Apartments Opera-tions, said the resident assistant is a student peer leader responsible for a community in university housing.
The resident assistant position provides real-life experiences including working and helping others, conflict resolution and team building.
Franks said the resident assistant is a “pre-miere leadership experience” and one of the more challenging student leadership positions at Eastern.
Resident assistants also receive full room
and board, which includes a 15-plus meal plan and a stipend of $70 biweekly. The res-ident assistant position runs from August to May.
In order to qualify for the position, resi-dent assistant candidates must be a full-time Eastern student during the spring semester, carrying a minimum of 12 credit hours, have at least 24 undergraduate credit hours by the start of Fall 2015 semester, have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 by the end of the fall semester, have lived in universi-ty housing for two semesters prior to term of employment, and be in good judicial standing with the university.
Students who wish to drop below the 12 credit hour minimum, or exceed the 18 cred-it hour maximum must receive prior approval from the associate housing director.
Those wishing to be a resident assistant must also keep in mind the position requires them not to seek employment outside of be-
ing a resident assistant. The guidelines for applying state that “an
RA is expected to develop positive relation-ships with his/her residents, address student needs and establish a welcoming sense of community on his/her assigned floor. In order to achieve this, an RA is expected to spend a majority of his/her time on the floor that he/she is assigned.”
Resident assistant candidates are also re-quired not to pledge to any social organiza-tion including fraternities and sororities, un-less prior permission is granted.
It is also recommended that resident assis-tants have the position for the entire academ-ic year, not just one semester.
A full list of the guidelines can be found on the Housing & Dining Services’ website.

At a certain point in one’s college career, stu-dents like myself might notice lectures on your desired fields can feel redundant.
Even though they might be separate classes, lectures over certain topics are repeated. This, of course, is not the fault of the instructor. You are giv-en a handful of perspectives on these topics that require views from others.
An easy ailment to this problem can be found in sending students abroad whether it is five hours away to a conference, or in an entirely different country for study abroad.
The experiences and knowledge gained from trips like these can’t be quantified.
This weekend, members of our staff took a three-day trip to Philadelphia, Penn., for the Col-lege Media Association conference.
While seeing the city and what it had to offer was one of the most enticing parts of the trip, going to the conference was a refreshing and worthwhile departure from the normal classes offered at East-ern.
Multiple seminars throughout the day gave those who went to it different outlooks on how to
approach journalism and the newsroom in general. Leaving Philadelphia, one of the things that
stuck with me was that this was oddly absent from my college experience until now as a senior. Even though it was beneficial, it was almost too late.
Students should be sent to these kinds of con-ferences frequently throughout their time at East-ern. Every student should have the option to seek knowledge from somewhere other than his or her professors.
Where better and easier might they find this knowledge than at national conferences or in entirely different universities in different countries?
Eastern offers several programs for students to
gain access to these experiences. Several conferenc-es are even hosted here such as the Entrepreneur-ship Conference, which will be hosted next week. The study abroad program also gives students the chance to see different cultures and learn about their field from very different people.
But is that enough? I don’t think an adequate percentage of the student body experiences these types of things throughout the entirety of their col-lege career.
Whether it be by offering more of these things to students in every department or by promoting them more, something should be done to ensure every student can say they got views from other instructors in the country and the world.
I would go as far as saying it should be a require-ment for students seeking a diploma. Knowledge from one singular place, wherever that might be, isn’t enough to claim a well-rounded education.

STAFF EDITORIAL
The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Illinois poli-tics could change forever, should voters decide to cast ballots for Bruce Rauner. As a student, you are one step away from “real life,” and should thus care about how well your state is doing.
Issues like taxes, corruption, jobs, spending, pensions, education and crime will all be things that impact your dai-ly life, and when it comes to combat-ting those problems, Rauner is the man for the job.
His campaign is largely about increas-ing jobs throughout the state, lowering taxes, improving education, and setting term limits on politicians.
Bruce wants to create more job opportunities for the people of Illinois because the unemployment rate is the lowest in the Midwest and incomes have fallen.
It’s no secret that jobs have lacked in Illinois and I’m sure you know some-one or someone’s parents that has been affected by that fact.
Taxes have gone up 67% under Pat Quinn. Rauner wants to freeze that and bring the rate down from 5% to 3%. One plan to do this would be through pension reform. 1 out of every 3 tax dol-lars goes to pensions.
This is something that Rauner wants to eliminate through reform that is put into a 401k format. This will allow low-er taxes to be implemented while sus-taining a good retirement plan.
Education has been cut by $600 mil-lion. How do we expect our future to carry on efficiently if Illinois can’t have a good education system? Every-thing starts from the bottom up. Rauner understands the value of a good educa-tion and will put funding back into it.
Rauner also wants to put term limits on career politicians. I can’t count how many times I have heard someone say, “I’m just not going to vote, all politi-cians are corrupt anyways.”
With the adoption of term limits, it is a lot harder for someone to build an empire under themselves if they only have two terms to do their job.
Yes, Rauner is a very rich man. He accomplished a dream that any stu-dent at Eastern has of working hard and attaining success.
He worked his way through college and became a venture capitalist. Success shouldn’t be something to criticize; it should be something to aspire for.
If Rauner is elected, he said he would move into Springfield that day, while Quinn thinks Chicago is all the matters in Illinois.
When it comes down to it, do you really like where Illinois is right now? Why would you, as a citizen, ever set-tle to be one of the worst states in the country? Strive for the best, strive for change, and strive for an easier life. Shake up Springfield. Bring Back Illi-nois.
Vote Bruce Rauner.
-Timmy Pawula,Senior communication studies major
If this editorial has all the familiar signs of the “lesser of two evils” political mantra, it’s intentional. It’s a feeling all-too recognizable in Illinois politics, but it’s the reality of our current political make-up.
And when it comes to governing the state of Illinois, Pat Quinn is the lesser of two evils (or, as The Southern Illinoisan referred him last week, “the devil you know”).
When Quinn took office in 2009, he inherited a free-fall-ing state economy thanks to the global financial crisis. Ink was still drying on subpoenas in the Rod Blagojevich scandal, marking one of the most embarrassing chapters in the politics of a state all-too familiar with corruption charges.
Despite all that, Quinn has actually helped improve a floundering Illinois economy, even in the face of numerous credit downgrades and an ungodly pension debt problem.
Since taking office, unemployment in Illinois has fallen to 6.6 percent. Additionally, the state’s discretionary spending, so rampant and unfettered in the past, is down by almost 10 percent—a pretty remarkable number, considering the state legislatures history as well as a toxic pension problem.
Through Quinn’s initiatives, the state’s Medicaid program will see what his office estimates at $5.7 billion in budget sav-ings. Socially, Quinn has been on the forefront of a pretty lib-eral agenda, signing bills to legalize same-sex marriage and medicinal marijuana, while also abolishing the death penalty in Illinois.
Of course, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Illinois’ recovery from the 2008 financial crisis has been lack-luster compared to many other states. Lawmakers are still largely grasping at straws to deal with our worst-in-the-nation pension deficit (even Quinn’s own reforms are likely to be
killed by the Supreme Court next year). And the Governor’s supposed “temporary” increase in the state income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent seems more and more permanent with every passing year.
With Quinn, though, we know what we’re getting—some-thing we can hardly say about Bruce Rauner. Rauner’s cam-paign has largely been defined by attack ads (that isn’t to say Quinn’s hands are clean, either) and tired free-market cli-chés. Capitalist brouhaha can only rally the vote so much, and Rauner’s promise to “shake up Springfield” is less a political strategy than it is a catchy campaign slogan.
And while Rauner’s promise to cut income taxes might sound appealing to the average voter, it will come at the cost of education budgets and public works projects. Rauner has repeatedly tried to cast himself a friend of the middle class, yet his fiscal policy paints a different picture—one which pits low taxes against funding for schools.
This was the year Illinois Republicans could have final-ly emerged from the margins. Quinn was (and is) vulnerable, and by most measures, a socially moderate Republican would have fared well in the gubernatorial election. Unfortunate-ly, what we were given instead was Rauner—a career business-man championing the same tired “free-market” policies that have continually hurt the middle class.
Re-electing Quinn might not be the “sexiest” move for Illinoisans. But voting in Rauner would, indeed, shake up Springfield. Just not in the way we need.
Vote for Quinn, the lesser of two evils

» BIRTH CONTROL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
However, in the July 2013 Bur-wel l v. Hobby Lobby case , the Uni ted Sta te s Supreme Cour t ruled in a 5-4 decision to pro-tect companies from covering po-tential life-threatening forms of birth control because of religious reasons.
Woods said the ruling was ri-diculous because theoretically the company could cite religious rea-sons in order to deny other acts or bills. He added this case could also be used as a reference for oth-er companies to deny laws as well.
“In an extreme case, it would be possible they could use reli-g ious aspects to re- implement Jim Crow laws—it wouldn’t hap-pen, but theoretically (it could),” Woods said.
The question itself is also sub-ject to controversy, as some be-lieve it is only on the ballot in order to bait Democratic voters, Woods said.
Woods sa id upholding bir th control being covered by some
health insurance companies could benefit the U.S. in the long run because i t can combat poverty rates.
He said low birth rates have a correlation to low poverty rates as well; it would also allow access to safe contraceptives.
Woods said those who say no to the question could be doing so because of sexism, but they could also have religious reasons for op-posing birth control.
“Most insurance covers Viagra, but some don’t cover birth control,” Woods said.
Jeannie Ludlow, the coordinator of women’s studies, said if those who challenge the Affordable Care Act are successful, states could issue referen-dums to make sure it becomes a state mandated law and not a federal.
However, like Woods, Ludlow agrees that the questions is nonsensi-cal because there is already a law put in place to protect birth control cov-erage, but she said this question is possibly being used to get more Dem-
ocrats to vote. Ludlow said having birth control
covered by insurance benefits every-one, but she does see why there are those who would disagree with having the pills or injections covered.
Some people who disagree with birth control and see it as a way of abortion are paying for this to be cov-ered through their tax dollars, Lud-low said.
Hobby Lobby does cover Viagra, but is also only against some forms of birth control and not all of them. Ludlow said the company does not agree with the contraceptives that keep a fertilized egg from implanting.
“Every moment we’re on this Earth we’re using resources, (birth control) really does make a difference.” Lud-low said, “Some people don’t think like that.”

» CANDIDATES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1He said one of Quinn’s best ac-
complishments as governor has been pushing for and passing legislation for marriage equality.
Rauner serves as the chair of a self-financed venture firm, R8 Capital Partners, which invests in smaller Il-linois companies.
He worked for the Chicago-based private equity firm GTCR for more than 30 years and retired from that position in 2012.
He was also an adviser to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Rauner graduated from Dart-mouth College and earned a Master of Business Administration from Har-vard University.
He is 57 years old. Like Quinn, Rauner lists jobs as
an important point on his campaign website, but he mentions different strategies.
The website states that Rauner wants to create jobs by lowering the cost of running a business; to do that, he plans to eliminate Quinn’s tax in-creases, allow communities to decide whether or not workers must join a union, and reform workers’ compen-sation.
Another issue listed as important to Rauner is pension reform, noting
that he plans to ensure pay and bene-fits do not rise faster than the rate of inflation, eliminate massive pay rais-es to increase pensions right before re-tirement, and move toward a defined contribution system.
Rauner’s website also outlines his plans to change the way the education system is run and funded.
This includes giving educators more autonomy in running their schools and letting families choose what school fits their children’s needs, paying teachers based on merit, and spending more on teachers and class-room technology rather than admin-istration.
Garrat McCullough, vice president of the EIU College Republicans, said Rauner is a better candidate, especial-ly considering that Quinn is under in-vestigation for allegedly using money from his Neighborhood Recovery Ini-tiative to secure votes in minority ar-eas.
“I am tired of having a governor under investigation or being put in prison,” McCullough said.
He said while campaigning for Rauner, he talked to many Democrats who said they would support the Re-publican candidate.
“No matter whether you’re a Dem-
ocrat or Republican, everyone agrees that we need change in this state,” McCullough said.
He said he likes that Rauner is not running his campaign based on social issues.
“He is running on fixing the econ-omy of Illinois and fixing our pris-on systems so that way it’s safer for the prisoners and prison workers,” he said.
McCullough said he believes Raun-er not being a “career politician” and promising to not take a salary or pen-sion will earn him trust.
“He’s already a billionaire; he doesn’t need the money,” he said. “He just wants to work for the people of Illinois and make this state great again.”
The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Other state positions on the Coles County ballot will be U.S. senator, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller, treasur-er, state senator for the 55th district, and state representative for the 110th district.

Kumah-Abiwu a l so sa id the progress made in terms of civ-il and political struggle is a huge achievement but there remains a bigger question to be answered.
Kumah-Abiwu a l so sa id the discussion of a new social move-ment would be the centerpiece of the student panel.
“In sp i te of a l l the progres s that’s been achieved in the past
fifty years, there’s a debate among observers that there is a need for a new social movement,” Kumah-Abiwu said. “So the question is that why do many observers be-lieve that there needs to be a new social movement.”

The Eastern women’s basket-bal l team wi l l look brand new this season after losing multiple players from last year’s roster.
Morgan Palombizio, Jordyne Crunk and Taryn Olson left the team after graduating. All three of those women s tar ted a l l 28
games for the Panthers.
Katlyn P a y n e w a s a l so a s t a r t -er and trans-f e r r e d t o Northern Il-l i n o i s . A l s o freshman Kaycee Ka l -lenberger and Aa l i yah
Gaines left for undisclosed rea-sons.
Eastern coach Debbie Black did not waste any time replacing all the players she lost last season.
The second-year coach signed s ix freshmen and also received
two transfer students from com-munity colleges.
Mo s t n o t a b l e i s f r e s h m a n Grace Lennox, who is from Aus-tralia.
Lennox comes in to Ea s t e rn with plenty of experience with upper-level basketball.
Lennox, who is projected to be one of the starters on the team, played with the Hobart Chargers in the South East Australia Bas-ketball League.
In the SEABL, Lennox was a two-time All-League player and
was a member o f t h e A u s -t r a l i a n Un -d e r 1 7 N a -t i o n a l t e a m t h a t c o m -peted in the F I B A O c e a -nia games.
Lennox also has lead-e r sh ip ab i l i -ty as she was
the captain of the Tasmanian Na-tional Team during the Australian State Championships.
Sophomore Phylicia Johnson is coming over from Cincinna-ti State Technical College after playing at that school for one sea-son.
Johnson averaged 17.3 points p e r g a m e , wh i l e shoot -i n g 4 5 p e r -cent from the floor and 41.2 percent from 3-point range and averaged 7 4 p e r c e n t from the free throw line.
She scored in double fig-
ures in 21 straight games, while h a v i n g t h r e e g a m e s w i t h 3 0 points or more.
Her season-high as a freshman was 39 points.
Fr e s h m a n Ma r i a h Ma d i s o n played at Gwendolyn Brooks Col-lege Prep and was named to the All-Chicago Public League first t eam as a sen ior averag ing 16 points per game.
Freshman Bhrea Griffin helped
her Morgan Park t eam pos t a 21-9 record as a senior winning the regional championship.
She was ra ted a s one of the top-50 players in the Chicago-land area as a senior.
She averaged 13.3 points, 6.8 assists and 4.5 steals per game.
Red-shirt junior Shakita Cox transferred to Eastern from Ea s t e rn A r i -zona College, averaging 1 3 . 9 p o i n t s per game, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists and ranked second o n t h e t e a m in both scor-i n g a n d a s -
sists. F r e s h m a n M o r g a n M a r t i n
played at Kennedy High School in Iowa and helped lead her team to the Iowa class 5A State quar-t e r f i n a l s a s a s en io r, e a rn ing third-team All-State honors.
Martin ranked fifth in class 5A in rebounding at nine per game
and had her junior season cut short because of an injury, but averaged 16 points and 11 re-bounds per game.
Freshman Jalisha Smith aver-aged 13.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game at Sime-on High School in Chicago and posted four double-doubles.
She had four games where she scored 20 or more points.
Fre shman Kandace Tate av -eraged 4.4 points per game at H o m e w o o d - F l o s s m o o r H i g h School and played on a team that had six players earn Division I scholarships.
Her team had a record of 19-3 including 14-0 in conference.
Re tu rn ing fo r the Panthe r s this season will be seniors Sabi-na Oroszova and Deanna Willis.
Also, junior Alece Shumpert, and sophomores Erica Brown and Georgia Danos will be returning along with senior Arnisha Thom-as.

Allie Hueston’s 15 kills, while no t enough f o r a w in Fr id ay night, led the Eastern volleyball team to its f irst sweep in Ohio Val ley Conference play, with a win over Tennessee-Mart in on Saturday in Lantz Arena.
The freshman from Anderson, Ind., totaled 15 kills in both of the weekend’s matches , which were also her season and career high in that category.
Along with those 15 kil ls on Saturday, she also tal l ied three d ig s and th ree b locks fo r the three-set sweep against the Sky-hawks.
“After the first set I think we just stuck with our original game plan because we did well with it earlier,” Hueston said. “We just focused on the i r outs ides and honored their middles, but kept our focus on Emily Keaton.”
Keaton led the Skyhawks with 14 ki l l s , a long with e ight digs and two blocks.
Hueston’s former club team-mate, Madison Bergren of Ten-nessee-Martin, started at setter for the Skyhawks and f inished with 25 ass i s t s , a long with s ix digs, three blocks and one kill.
“It was really exciting (Satur-day),” Hueston said. “It was fun to see Maddie and play against he r. I thought she d id p re t t y well.”
Eastern’s setter Marah Brad-bury led the Panthers with 41 as-sists, and added a block and a dig to her day.
During a pregame ceremony fifth-year, red-shirt senior Kelsey Brooke was awarded the annual Eastern volleyball alumni schol-arship award.
Brooke is the fourth recipient
of that award.Hueston’s 15 ki l l s , f ive digs
and four blocks in Friday’s five-se t loss to Southeast Missour i helped spark a comeback for the Panthers, who had dropped the first two sets by scores of 25-20 and 25-18.
However, i t was Abby Saa l -frank, who led the Panthers at-tack with 20 kil ls , one dig and three blocks, which helped march the Panthers into the fifth and fi-nal set, which they lost by a score of 15-12.
Fellow junior Chelsea Lee also finished with 15 kills, along with three digs and three blocks.
Those two also played a huge part of the Eastern ral ly in the third and fourth sets, helping the Panthers win by scores of 25-18 and 25-20.
Southeast Missouri’s front line duo of Andrea Baylin and Kelsey Keeve t e s t ed th e Ea s t e rn de -fense all night and finished with a combined total of 27 kills and 37 digs.
Setter Katarina Rotta nabbed a
double-double with 36 assists and 11 digs for the Redhawks.
Defensively, it was Eastern’s ju-nior class that led the Panthers in limiting Baylin and Keeve to only 10 kills during the third and fourth sets.
Libero Stephanie Wallace led the way with 23 digs, while her classmate Bradbury followed with 19 digs, along with two kills, 55 assists and three blocks.
De f e n s i v e s p e c i a l i s t Da ko -ta Springer and freshman Maria Brown also reached double-digit
digs for the Panthers defense with 18 digs apiece.
Eastern has two home games remaining , s ta r t ing wi th i t s 7 p.m. start Friday against Eastern Kentucky and then a 5 p.m. game Saturday against Morehead State.
The Panthers are 5-7 in the OVC, eighth in the standings, with four conference matchups remaining.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: #EIU’s Kamu Grugier-Hill and Jalen Whitlow have been named #OVC Defensive and Newcomer Player of the Week, respectively.
By Aldo SotoSports Editor | @AldoSoto21
Eastern coach Kim Dameron wanted the Panthers to be more balanced offensively heading into their Saturday game at Tennessee Tech.
The Panthers were as balanced as can be, rushing for 301 yards and throwing for 297 yards in their 41-10 win against the Gold-en Eagles at Tucker Stadium in Cookeville, Tenn.
Adam Drake had a season-high three touchdown receptions, as he had six catches for 153 yards, including a career-long 90-yard touchdown catch in the th i rd quarter. Eastern quarterback Jalen Whitlow had a season-high four touchdown passes, but gave all the credit to his weapons.
“ R e c e i v e r s m a d e a w e s o m e plays,” Whitlow said.
Leading 24-3 in the third quar-ter, Eastern took over at its own 13-yard line for its first posses-sion of the second half. Follow-ing a loss of three yards on first down, Whitlow threw a pass to Drake, who had man-coverage on the outside. Drake and the Ten-nessee Tech defender went up to-gether to reach for the ball, but Drake ripped the ball from mid-air and was able to break away, as the Golden Eagle lost his footing and fell to the ground.
“I was just hoping that the ball landed where I wanted it to land,” Whitlow said of his pass. “Drake did a great job of getting good po-sition. Great play by him.”
Drake had an open field and expanded Eastern’s lead to 31-3, with 12:45 left in the third quar-ter.
The Charleston native also had a three-yard touchdown catch, with 2:58 left before halftime.
Whitlow parted way with 12:42 left in the fourth quarter, for An-drew Manley, as Eastern had es-tablished a 38-10 lead. Whitlow finished 19-of-24, for 297 yards to go along with his four touch-down passes.
Whitlow also scored his eighth rushing touchdown in Ohio Val-ley Conference play, which is the second most behind Eastern Ken-tucky running back Dy’Shawn Mobley’s 13.
Shepard Little led the Panthers running game, with 92 yards on 19 carries. Taylor Duncan had 12 attempts for 72 yards, while Whit-low had 45 rushing yards.
Late in the fourth quarter, East-
ern kicker and punter Nick Bruno added a 63-yard run off of a fake punt to pad the Panthers’ rush-ing stats. That run by Bruno set up his 23-yard field goal that gave Eastern a 41-10 lead.
Meanwhile, the Eastern defense, led by Kamu Grugier-Hil l’s 19 tackles, slowed down the Golden Eagles, allowing 150 rushing yards and 89 passing yards.
Grugier-Hill said the Panthers did a great job of f lying to the ball, as Tennessee Tech averaged three yards per rush attempt. The only time Eastern did not contain the Golden Eagles was when run-ning back Ladarius Vanlier broke loose for a 37-yard touchdown run, with 5:46 left in the third quarter.
Vanlier used three spin moves to bounce his run toward the side-line, scampering in for Tennessee Tech’s lone touchdown.
The Panthers responded im-mediately, as Whitlow threw an e ight -yard touchdown pas s to Drake less than five minutes later. The junior quarterback beat tri-ple coverage, as Drake caught the ball in the end zone, going low to secure his third touchdown of the game.
“Drake ran a great route and
that allowed me to have enough room to fit it in,” Whitlow said. “We were so far down that there wasn’t much room, but it helped out that our other receivers ran
good routes to open it up.”Despite the win, Eastern lost
the turnover battle, losing three fumbles and throwing an inter-
ception. Dameron said the defense did a great job of not al lowing Tennessee Tech to capitalize off of those four turnovers with touch-downs.
The Golden Eagles were only able to score a f ie ld goal af ter Eastern’s first fumble in the first quarter, when Keiondre Gober
lost the ball at the Panthers’ 46-yard line.
Following the next three turn-overs, Eastern’s defense only al-lowed Tennessee Tech’s offense to gain one first down.
After Manley fumbled on his s e cond p l ay o f the game , the Golden Eagles brought the ball to the Eastern six-yard line. On four th down and four, Darian Stone threw an interception in the end zone to Grugier-Hill . That was the second time Grugier-Hill was involved in a forced turnover, as he forced Vanlier’s fumble in the third quarter that was recov-ered by Vince Speller, with 1:03 remaining before the fourth quar-ter.
The Panthers bring their three-game OVC winning streak back home, as they host Murray State at noon on Saturday at O’Brien Field.
At 4-1 in conference play, East-ern sits in third place behind East-ern Kentucky, which is 5-1 and Jacksonville State, which is 5-0.
