Editor’s note: The following is the letter Spanish pro-fessor and Faculty Senate member Luis Clay-Mendezwas writing when he died of a heart attack Fridayevening.

Dear Editor:

For over 23 years I have praised our Eastern stu-dents for their integrity and a near instinctive senseof what’s right and wrong. This I have verified yearafter year, when students evaluated my classes,irrespective of the grade they were expecting toreceive. There have been many other instances alsowhen our students have raised their voices to sup-port our struggles as we strived for competitivesalaries, academic freedom and various issuesimpacting our campus. I always gained strength anda new resolve knowing that the students-the pri-mary reason for our existence as an institution-andthe faculty were in agreement over significant mat-ters.

Once again, my pride in this student body hasbeen recently justified. First, it was the single dis-senting vote of the student member of the Board ofTrustees, William Davidson, that gave more evi-dence to a perspective based on principle and equal-ity than the remaining six member of the Board,presumably people of social and civic stature.

Eastern won’t put Fair Trade coffee in any otheruniversity buildings right now.

The type of coffee, which guarantees farmers afair wage for the coffee they grow, is now the onlytype of coffee offered in the Martin Luther King Jr.University UnionFood Court.

The coffee isalready offered atJava B&B in theunion.

“Since we have toprovide the productin the machines andthe volume isn’t highenough, we’re justgoing to stay with theone machine in theunion,” said MarkHudson, director ofhousing and dining.

However, thatdoesn’t mean FairTrade isn’t pushingfor other machines tobe put in residencehalls.

Jen Price, co-chairof the Fair TradeCoalition, the campusgroup pushing theFair Trade label, said,“We definitely would like to get machines put inresidence halls; there just isn’t a way to work it outright now.

Luis Clay-Mendez had already cheateddeath once.

Accused of planting an explosive device ina movie theater, the Cuban military attempt-ed to coax a confession out of Clay by intimi-dating him with a firing squad packingblanks.

“He thought he was done for,” Clay’s wife,Penny, said of an incident that occurred morethan four decades ago.

Clay escaped and left Cuba soon thereafter.After staring death in the face, friends andfamily said Clay perceived life as a gift. Thatenthusiasm permeated his teachings andnearly every facet of his life.

Clay died Friday of a heart ailment at SarahBush Lincoln Health Center. He was 60.

“Luis had an indomitable spirit andunflinching courage,” said Faculty SenateChair David Carpenter, who has known Clayfor 16 years.

Recently, Clay took a stance on the Board ofTrustees’ decision to offer interim PresidentLou Hencken a two-year contract extension.He defended the faculty’s request to mandate

Eastern’s next president have a doctoral orterminal degree.

When Clay died, he was typing a letterpraising student BOT representative BillDavidson and an editorial written by TheDaily Eastern News for showing the “integri-ty required to stand alone on the side of pro-priety, fair play and the tenet that the bestdecisions come as a result of consultation andinclusion.”

“There was nothing lukewarm about Luis,”Carpenter said. “He would champion causesand principles unlike anyone I have everknown.”

Survivors include his wife, Penny; one son,Edward Clay, of Springfield, Mo.; one brother,Jose Clay, of Miami; and two grandchildren.

Penny said extensive physicals in Aprilrevealed no heart ailments when Clay under-went hip surgery.

“We were completely surprised,” she said. His deep beliefs in individual freedom

resulted from a childhood in CommunistCuba. Clay was born May 26, 1943, in Havana,Cuba, the son of Joseph and Ofelia (Mendez)Clay.

Imagine taking a history test in the UniversityFood Court while eating Subway with no professorsupervision.

That’s what one Student Senate member hopes tosee at Eastern.

With a modified honor code, Amanda Sartore,Student Vice President for Academic affairs,would have students take a pledge or sign a pactsaying they would not cheat on tests not proctoredby a professor.

“You could go to the quad to take the test, youcould go to your room to take the test,” Sartoresaid.

“But you would take a pledge that you would notcheat or lie,” she said.

Currently, Eastern doesn’t have an honor code,but uses a judicial system to ensure academicintegrity, which Sartore said could be improved.

After attending a conference on honor codes atthe University of Virginia last October, Sartoredecided to work on getting an honor code system atEastern.

“To me it seems like a good idea,” Sartore said.“It’s not only going to help us through our collegeyears, it would help us for years to come.”

The goal behind the proposed system, whichaccording to Sartore could take place as early asnext year, is to make Eastern an even more aca-demically respectable university.

“Eastern has been in the top tier for three years,and each year we’re getting better,” she said.

Sartore continued by saying an honor code sys-tem would “add more to the school to make it moreprestigious and attract more high school students.”

“It’s something else to add to the character of theUniversity,” she said.

The Center for Academic Integrity Web site fea-tures Duke University and describes its honorcode, implemented in 1993.

A sample honor code contract Duke Studentshad to sign said;

The mercury hit 27, dropping below the 31 markset in 1985, said Dalias Price, local weather observerand former Eastern professor.

“We expect pleasant weather most for almost thewhole week, so we will all have to enjoy it while wecan,” Price said.

Temperatures reached 73 degrees on Sunday,which is the warmest it’s been for a week, he said.

“It’s just what we like,” Price said. “This is morelike weather for first week of October.”

The National Weather Service said the tempera-

ture will be in the upper 70s all week. On the downside, there also will be a little bit of

frost one or two mornings throughout the week,Price said. Still, there will be very little precipitationall week.

According to the National Weather Service theweather is expected to be partly cloudy Monday,Friday and Saturday during the day.

At night, the temperatures are expected to dropdown to the high 40s to mid 50s, the National weath-er Service said. Also, there is a possibility of rain andthunderstorms Sunday after 7 a.m.

A local business is growing to keep upwith student traffic.

The Citgo gas station, located on MillerRoad next to the Showplace 8 Theater inMattoon, will be adding more gas pumps toits facility to accommodate the “thousands”of customers it serves everyday.

The gas station will be adding at least fournew pumps as well as replacing the oldpumps with new ones.

“It’s busy on weekends, but it’s busy all thetime,” said Amy Brigham, an employee atCitgo. “We serve everyday customers, col-lege students and travelers everyday.”

The gas station offers the Citgo cardwhich gives customers three percent offtheir gas purchase, as well as the conven-ience of staying open 24 hours a day.

“In the past, there have been wrecksbecause traffic gets held up with peoplewaiting to get to the pump,” she said. “Peoplejust line up and it gets crowded.”

The pump additions are set to begin with-in the next three weeks.

“We will be working on two to three at atime so that there will be enough pumpsavailable for the customers that come in,”Brigham said.

Citgo also is considering installing a secu-rity system outside to prevent unpaid drive-

offs.“With the long lines and how busy we are,

it has been easy for people to go to the lastpumps that we can’t see and drive off with-out paying,” she said.

Customers as well as employees think theextra pumps will benefit the gas station.

“We have lines all the time,” said MaryLawson, a cashier. “More pumps will helpwith the lines.”

“I think it will help,” said regular cus-tomer Mary Allen Ames. “Most of the time itis really busy when I come here in the morn-ing to get coffee.”

Citgo sees a lot of business when the stu-dents are here, especially the weekends withhome games and other big events.

“We can see a slight difference in saleswhen the students leave for summer,”Brigham said. “It isn’t a huge difference, butthere is definitely a little less business donein summer.”

Living on a college budgetcan be rough, but several areamerchants and resale storesoffer bargains for college stu-dents.

Twice is Nice gives Easternbargain shoppers a special deal.Owner Nancy Kuykendall givesEastern students an additional10 percent off their purchasesin addition to any other sale shemay be having.

“New clothing is so expen-sive,” said Kuykendall, whoamong other things, sells brandname items at her shop. “It’s agood alternative to retail. Allbrands for a fraction of theprice.”

Twice is Nice is a consign-ment shop which sells items toits clients for 50 percent ofwhat the item is sold for at reg-ular retail stores.

Kuykendall encourages stu-dents to shop at her store.

“I have such cool things,” shesaid.

Twice is Nice is open 9 a.m. to5 p.m. Monday through Fridayand 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Located in on The Square,vintage store Spence’s onJackson is another shop close to

campus. Owner Linda Spencehas been in resale for 27 years,although the store’s location andname have changed frequently,from Clothesmania to Spence’sBackdoor to Just Spence’s toSpence’s on Jackson.

“I’m head over heels withwhat I’m doing after all theseyears,” Spence said. “In a storethis big we manage to capture acozy feeling.”

Spence’s features a children’splay center and movie area.

She said the clothes she sellscan be for those “ready to partyor for Halloween.”

Besides clothes, the shop hasmusic, movies and furniture.

Spence’s is open 10:30 a.m. to5 p.m. Tuesday throughSaturday.

The Depot Clothing pantry isnow closed, but is still accept-ing donations. They have beengiving the clothes away as partof an outreach program.Donations are accepted onJackson Avenue behindSpence’s.

The Repeat Boutique, locatedoff Route 16 in Mattoon, is well-organized with a wide varietyof clothes to choose from.Owner Brenda Scott has beenrunning the boutique for sevenyears. Scott said prices ranging

I understand that therewere some questions on whothe next president of the uni-versity would be when thesearch committee wasformed. However, there is nodoubt in my mind the searchcommittee was on the rightpath in taking the word "inter-im" from Lou Hencken's titledespite faculty opinions onthe subject.

I graduated from Easternfour years ago and rememberbeing part of the the processin finding Dr. Surles toreplace Jornes. However, inthe past two years sinceSurles’ departure, Henckenhas done nothing but repre-sent Eastern in the best possi-ble and positive way. He truly

is a leader that knows what isbest for Eastern and knowshow to get the university towhere it needs to be.

Hencken should be theleader and spokesperson forthe University and grantinghim the position was the rightdecision.

Matt D. Layetteclass of 1999

I was pleased to read anarticle in The Daily EasternNews about interimPresident Lou Hencken being

named to the permanentposition of president.

Last year, Lou knew me. Iposed for a picture with himfor my parents.

Last weekend at the foot-ball game, he asked my dadhow I was doing. He men-tioned at an honors ceremonythat he knew many of the stu-dents whose hands he shook.I'm sure the possibilities ofthat happening with anyother president are verysmall.

Everyone knows Henckenas Lou. During my time atEastern, he was much morevisible on campus than theprevious president. He hashelped the universitythrough some very toughtimes.

Hencken as president isthe best thing for Eastern.

A line is being drawn in the proverbial sand as

the Residence Hall Association discusses the

proposition of making all residence halls non-

smoking.

For the past two years, RHA and Student Senate

have been proposing a decrease in the number of

smoking floors in residence halls to great success.

Since last year, floors in Taylor, Douglas and

Stevenson have all become smoke free.

There are currently 1,177 designated smoking

areas on campus while a

recent RHA survey

showed only 203 students

admit to smoking. As it

stands, there are more

smoking rooms on cam-

pus than students claim-

ing to be smokers.

These statistics on

smoking are based on a

survey conducted by res-

idence halls and while

the results may be accu-

rate, a simple stroll

through campus will reveal far more smokers

than a mere 203. This begs the question of how

Eastern can eliminate absolutely all smoking

floors when a portion of the population still obvi-

ously requests them.

No one will argue the physical dangers of

smoking or the trouble it presents when enforcing

residence hall fire codes, but eliminating all

smoking floors so quickly may prove too caustic a

solution for the problem.

Smokers may be the modern-day lepers of

American society, but they still have rights. The

trend throughout the state has been to slowly

eliminate smoking on college campuses as Illinois

State University and Northern Illinois University

have both decreased the number of smoking

floors on campus while Western Illinois

University has eliminated smoking in residence

halls completely.

If Eastern and the RHA want to eliminate

smoking in residence halls, the process should be

gradual. Thus far, the university has done a good

job of eliminating smoking floors where residents

have shown a desire to do so, but to eliminate

smoking on campus entirely is a bit too drastic.

Instead of eliminating smoking completely, why

not simply make a single tower of Thomas or

Taylor the only available smoking rooms on cam-

pus? Rather than smoking floors interspersed

throughout a handful of residence halls, it would

be much easier to designate an entire tower. That

way, smoking floors would still exist while entire

buildings could still go smoke free if the residents

wished.

After the Board of Trustees,Eastern’s governing body, decidedto suspend the presidential searchlast week, a new term gainedprominence in the campus vernac-ular –shared governance.

In response to the board’s near-ly unanimous vote, only studentrepresentative Bill Davidsonvoted against the action, and sev-eral faculty members have com-plained about a disregard forshared governance.

In fact, Davidson said the rea-son he voted against naming LouHencken Eastern’s ninth full-timepresident was because of the issueof shared governance.

"I just felt we should have madeas many gestures to the campuscommunity to promote sharedgovernance especially on the issueof our president," Davidson said.

One of the more outspoken pro-ponents of shared governance isEnglish professor John Allison.

“This is scandalous," Allison saidlast week. "Evidently the boarddoesn't value equal opportunityprocedures, academic credentialsor respect the principles of sharedgovernance.”

But just what exactly is sharedgovernance?

According to Allison, "sharedgovernance is a means of arrivingat decisions with consultationinvolving the faculty."

I’m all for the faculty getting asay in how the university is run.An employer should be willing tolisten to its employees and know

how the workers feel about theway business is conducted.However, an employer is ultimate-ly in control of the business, or inthis case the university.

The people in charge of Eastern,the Board of Trustees, have tomake decision based on what theyfeel is best the university.

The board was not trying toignore shared governance. It wastrying to ensure stability to theuniversity during an unstabletime.

Anyone who is half literateknows Illinois has been in a budgetcrisis for over a year. The state hascut the budget for higher educa-tion, including asking all publicstate universities to return funds.

I would hate to think whereEastern might be had Hencken notbeen in office at this volatile time.Hencken and his vice presidentshave done a great job managingtheir constricted budget and con-tinuing to provide a valuable serv-ice to the students.

The budget crisis will not disap-pear over night.

So instead of changing over to anew president who might not knowexactly how to handle the budgetas well, the board made the pru-dent move of extending Hencken’sterm and giving him what heearned–the position of full-timepresident.

Hencken has proven he can han-dle the job over the past two years.

The board needed to extendHencken’s term because of abreakdown in shared governance.

After the first presidentialsearch failed to produce a newpresident, the second search was-n’t off to a very good start.

The faculty was complainingabout being poorly informed aboutthe scheduling of search commit-tee meetings and the search notreflecting the various opinions ofthe entire university.

Since the presidential searchprocess was not making goodprogress, the board decided toavoid one of two results, both unfa-vorable to Eastern.

The first result is the searchcould turn up nothing. Easterncould fail to find a new president.

The second and worst result; thesearch committee scrambles tofind anyone and Eastern is stuckwith an ill-equipped president.

Extending Hencken’s term aspresident was not a slap in the faceof shared governance. It was amove for the betterment ofEastern and allowing shared gov-ernance more time to work as it’sintended.

Nothing off-limits at Lunchbox Voodoo showBy Amee BohrerF E AT U R E S E D I T O R

Four solemn men clad in brown monkrobes tied with white rope-belts filed onto thestage, and then began stripping one by onefor a flamboyant interpretive dance toGeorge Michael’s song “Faith.”

They were left with only uniform whiteboxers decorated in colored markers, andwere joined by a few more men frolickingand prancing in a mix of choreography andfree-style dancing.

The audience erupted into hoots andscreams of laughter that never subsided untilthe last man was finished prancing aroundthe stage and the last beat ended.

The music act Mic Killers, or MK forshort, performed two sets between sketchesby Lunchbox Voodoo.

“That was the most elaborate and well-pre-pared show we’ve ever had,” said LunchboxVoodoo president, Ben Marcy, sophomoreundecided major.

Sketches presented ranged in subject mat-ter from blasphemy to Saddam Hussein, anda man eating mayonnaise.

The first sketch was set in the Garden ofEden featuring the characters of God, Adam,Eve and the Tree of Knowledge bearing twoapples. The apples were labeled “damned”and “forbidden.”

The story of the biblical parable was tradi-

tional, except that the Garden of Eden wasset in Charleston, and God himself was quiteincensed at some points, yelling, “God, I hatebeing God!” at the end of the sketch.

Next was a scene featuring a couplewatching the news on their living room TV, orso they thought.

Saddam Hussein, complete with beret,black mustache and an accent, announced hewas “no longer in Iraq,” and there was noneed to continue firing at him any longer.

To the couple’s surprise, they discoverthey are not watching a news broadcast, butHussein himself hiding in their TV. Husseinmanaged to convince the couple to forgoturning him in and to give him a job as a highschool guidance counselor instead.

Still another skit centered around a couplewith a new born baby, fretting about whatexactly they were going to do with theirchild even though they had nine months toprepare for it. To solve their problems, abusiness representative for “E-baby”popped in to inform them they can auctionoff their baby online and turn their “mis-takes into cash!”

MK performed two sets betweenLunchbox Voodoo sketches. Sophomore bio-logical sciences major Monty Buckleyrapped while freshman physical educationmajor Kai Karlstrom gave him a beat in thefirst set. The second performance featuredBuckley performing a spoken word solo.

The first was interactive, asking for audi-ence participation in a song called “SoulMusic,” and the second was a spoken wordpoem about racial prejudice called “Chains.”

“I don’t think of myself as a ‘beat box,’”Karlstrom said. “I’m a goofy bass player.”

In addition to sketches, there were a cou-ple running gags.

One running gimmick throughout theshow included junior career and technicaleducation major Mike Denofrio consumingan entire jar of mayonnaise, grossing out theaudience.

Senior sociology major Taylor Dall, dressedas a sumo wrestler, stood around the perime-ters of the room before the show. Dall andother members promoted the show earlier inthe day by wandering campus in sumo garb.

“Their outfits were kind of going throughthe wind,” said senior elementary educationmajor Joelle Desco. “I turned my head and Isaw these three guys dressed like sumowrestlers. I thought I was hallucinating.”

Corey Leonard, a senior art major, said hisfavorite parts of the show were “the God skit,and the one when they were in their under-wear.”

James Contratto, University Board gradu-ate assistant and college student affairsmajor, said he estimated about 175 peopleattended the event.

Lunchbox Voodoo’s next performance willbe at 10 p.m., Friday Oct. 10 in Andrews Hall.

The Illinois State University presi-dential search moves on as Easternfinishes contract negotiations withinterim President Lou Hencken.

But until last week, ISU was amonth ahead of Eastern in the process.

“You could debate that on bothsides,” said Stan Ommen, ISU searchcommittee co-chair, of offeringHencken the job without a search. “Ithink that the search process servessome good because you’re getting yourfaculty and other people involved, andyou’re seeing who is available.”

Eastern’s presidential search wassuspended Tuesday after the Boardof Trustees voted 6-1 to offer interimPresident Hencken a two-year con-tract extension instead of conductinga nationwide search.

Ommen said last week the firstwave of applications for their nextpresident will be “shipped over anyday now” from their search consult-ing firm, AT Carney.

ISU interim President Al Bowmanwill be one of those applicants.

Although he has a doctoral degreeand progressed through the ranks asa faculty member, Bowman believedthose attributes are not needed to bea “modern president.” At Eastern,faculty argued about Hencken’s lackof a doctoral degree and experiencein the classroom. He is teaching thissemester.

Bowman said the modern presidentspends a majority of his or her timedealing with external affairs via fundraising or dealing with legislators. Theacademic side, he said, is handled bythe provost at more universities.

“I spend a lot of time, and I’m sureLou spends a lot of time, with thelocal legislators that serve the dis-trict,” Bowman, interim presidentsince June 1, said. “I also think thateven though the provost is managingthe day-to-day affairs of the academ-ic side, the president does play a role,and I think that role includes helpingguide strategic planning and commu-nicating to external audiences thedirection of the institution.”

Hencken has publicly said manytimes he defers to Blair Lord,Eastern’s provost and vice president

for academic affairs, concerning theuniversity’s academic affairs.

Tuesday, Eastern BOT Chair NateAnderson said the decision to end thesearch for a new candidate and stickwith Hencken was made for two pri-mary reasons:

◆ For stability at the presidentialposition in lieu of the 2005 NorthCentral Accreditation, an evaluationthat allows the university to remainqualified for student financial aid,and maintain the ability to transferand accept academic credit hours.

◆ The current financial state of theuniversity, like that of most publichigher education institutions acrossthe state, experienced an 8.2 percentdecrease in state appropriation moneyfrom Fiscal Year 2003 to FY 04, areduction of $4.2 million at Eastern.

To make up for the losses,Hencken proposed a 9.5 percenttuition increase, which was acceptedby the BOT.

That experience with the budget issomething Bowman, Ommen andEastern’s BOT members hold withhigh esteem.

“I think Lou has an advantage over

presidents who have been brought tocampuses, even without any academ-ic background, because he has livedhis entire career on a college cam-pus,” Bowman said.

Eastern BOT members said theyhad to make a decision whether to con-tinue the search Tuesday, otherwisethe search would fall behind schedule.

Betsy Mitchell, PresidentialSearch Committee chair and BOTvice chair, said this Wednesday wasthe committee’s deadline to decidewhether to advertise the presidentialposition.

Assuming the ad was placed in theOct. 3 issue of the Chronicle of HigherEducation, a weekly newspaper thatcovers a variety of higher educationissues, notification for top applicantsfor Eastern’s position would be morethan a month behind ISU’s.

ISU, in Bloomington-Normal, firstadvertised its presidential opening inthe Aug. 15 edition of the chronicle.

“We’re really just getting started,”Ommen, also an ISU BOT member,said. “We’ve had several meetingsfor the search committee.”

Ommen said after the 18-member

search committee was formed, itdecided to hire the help of AT Carney,a professional search consultationservice. Ommen said once the jobapplications were received, searchcommittee members would provideindividual ratings of each candidate.

From those interpretive figures,the search committee will hold off-campus interviews with a selectednumber of the applicants. The sameprocess will be repeated but with afinal pool of “three to five” candi-dates for on-campus interviews,Ommen said.

Eastern followed a similar pathduring its 2001 search that wasunsuccessful after the university’stop choice took a position at theUniversity of West Florida. Hencken,who had assumed interim presidentroles Aug. 1, 1999, was offered anoth-er two-year extension.

This extension, however, will dropthe interim from Hencken’s title, asthe 36-year Eastern employee willserve as the university’s ninth full-time president. The contract will beslated for approval at the Nov. 7 BOTmeeting.

taste.“Even though the coffee at the union is

Nevertheless, there are some studentsthat don’t have a problem walking to theunion to get their coffee in the morning.

“I have a class at 9:00 in Blair Hall,” saidVic Razo, a sophomore sociology major.“Since it’s on my way to class, I stop by the

CHICAGO (AP) – Their team was inAtlanta, but some Cubs fans were in theneighborhood around Wrigley Field onSunday.

Fans here have gone from wonderingwhen the Cubs will find a way to disappointthem – as they have so many times in yearspast – to believing the team could advance inthe playoffs.

“I think people will be more shocked ifthey lose,” said bartender John Long.

The Cubs take on the Braves Sundaynight in Game 5 to decide their divisionalseries.

Even after the Cubs lost 6-4 to the BravesSaturday night at Wrigley to tie the series,people refused to give up hope.

“Everyone was making plans for nextweek,” Long said.

The last time the Cubs won a World Seriesin 1908. The last time the Cubs played in theWorld Series was 1945.

For most fans, the Cubs are a team thatsealed its reputation as “lovable losers” witha monumental collapse in 1969 and anotherone in 1973. And don’t get them startedabout 1984 when they took a 2-0 lead in afive-game series with the San Diego Padresonly to drop the next three games.

This year, though, fans expected some-thing different – in large part because of apitching staff led by Mark Prior and KerryWood.

Wood, the winner of the first game of theseries with the Braves, was scheduled topitch against the Braves Sunday night.

Paul Karkula, a 48 year-old judge, said heis “110 percent” sure the Cubs will win.

Cubs fans hope team can enddecades of disappointment

CHICAGO (AP) – The Pacific GardenMission has been home to legendary evan-gelists like Billy Sunday, a famous weeklyradio drama and thousands of homelessmen who are offered a meal, a bed and aprayer.

The 126-year-old mission is the city’s old-est and largest homeless shelter, and itsneon-bordered cross reading “JesusSaves,” is visible for blocks in the area justsouth of the city’s Loop.

But that cross will go dark if the city suc-ceeds in forcing the mission to give up itslocation to make way for the expansion of ahigh school, Jones College Prep, locatednext door.

After four years of failed negotiationsover relocation packages that would allow

the mission to move to a new location, thecity this year filed a lawsuit to take posses-sion by eminent domain.

Advocates for the poor say the loss of themission would be a disaster. And they sus-pect the case has more to do with movingthe homeless out of the rapidly gentrifyingneighborhood than expanding a school.

“We’re not against development, but eventhe poorest among us is a citizen,” said JohnDonahue, executive director of the ChicagoCoalition for the Homeless. “They have cer-tain rights and certain needs.”

The Chicago Board of Education has beentrying to buy the mission since 1999. Whenthe two sides couldn’t agree on a price or alocation to move the mission, the city filedsuit in April.

He fled Cuba for America at 16 wherehe earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanishand mathematics at Southwest MissouriState University in Springfield, Mo. Heearned his master’s and doctoral degreesin romance languages and literature atWashington University in St. Louis, Mo.

It was at Washington University Claymet his future wife, who was a graduatestudent in one of his classes.

“I was impressed from the firstmoment because he was such a goodteacher,” Penny said. “All the new grad-uate students must observe for six weeks... once the six weeks were up, I askedhim if I could stay in the class because Iliked watching him teach so much.

“And that got him.”Clay and Penny married Nov. 26, 1970,

Thanksgiving Day, in Perry, Okla.“His knowledge was wonderful as was

his experience, but his enthusiasm,”Penny says, “you could not go to sleep inhis class because he was so enthusiasticin what he was doing, you had to get inter-ested in it.”

Clay came to Eastern as an associateforeign languages professor in 1980 andhas been here ever since.

Friends said Clay lived life to itsfullest, and his actions back that state-ment.

At Eastern, he was the Faculty Senaterecorder, a member on the PresidentialSearch Committee and a foreign lan-guages professor. Elsewhere, he servedas a member of the Knight of Columbus,a captain of the Coast Guard Auxiliaryand as a faculty sponsor of Sigma DeltaPi.

“He was absolutely a unique per-son,” Karen Taylor, an associateSpanish professor, said. “He had somuch energy and so much love foreverybody. He had so many friends,and not just professors, but adminis-trators, secretaries, maintenance peo-ple. I think he knew everyone at theuniversity.”

Carpenter said his friend had a “self-less dedication to humanity.”

In his free time, Carpenter said Clayserved as Spanish interpreter in the courtsystem for those who could not speakEnglish. He also served as an interpreterfor Cuban refugees in an Indiana peni-tentiary.

“He was enthusiastic about everythinghe did, that is my only consolation,”Penny said. “He didn’t waste a minute.He enjoyed everything he did, so nobodysaid, ‘Gosh, it’s too bad he didn’t do some-thing because he did what he wanted todo.’”

“He enjoyed everything so thorough-ly.”

Hurricane Olaf threatens Pacific coastSANCHEZ MAGALLANES, Mexico (AP)

– Tropical Storm Larry hit the southerncoast of the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, forc-ing hundreds of people to flee to shelters,while a second storm strengthened to a hur-ricane and threatened Mexico’s Pacificcoast.

Mexico has been bracing for three stormsalong its coasts this weekend.

Tropical Storm Larry is considered themost dangerous, but officials were alsokeeping a close eye on Olaf, which strength-ened to a hurricane Sunday.

Olaf was moving parallel to the Pacificcoast 145 miles south of Manzanillo, but achange of course could bring the hurricaneonshore, the National Hurricane Center inMiami warned.

A second hurricane, Nora, was churningfar off the southern tip of Baja California in

the Pacific and was expected to weaken as itmoves closer to land in the coming days.

Forecasts show that Nora and Olaf couldboth reach the peninsula, which already haswithstood two hurricanes this season.

Larry, meanwhile, moved inland overTabasco state about 55 miles east of theindustrial city of Coatzacoalcos, provokingfloods in an already saturated region.

Alarmed by the driving winds and rain,Alicia Tejera left her home in Malatinerobefore dawn Sunday carrying a 2-day-oldchild in her arms.

“I risked going out with my son, and it wasworth it,” said Tejera, who joined more than300 people in a shelter. “I didn’t know if thisstorm could cause a lot more damage.”

The tropical storm turned the fishing vil-lage Isla Paraiso into a ghost town, withwater standing 3-feet deep in some houses.

The storm’s winds weakened steadily as itmoved inland to 40 mph and Larry wasexpected to be downgraded to a tropicaldepression by late Sunday. Larry creptsouth at 2 mph toward the southern states ofChiapas and Oaxaca and could reach theGulf of Tehuantepec on the Pacific Coast.

In Chiapas, authorities prepared 300storm shelters for public use on Sunday as asafeguard against flooding.

Heavy rains could cause life-threateningflash floods and mudslides, the NationalHurricane Center warned. It predicted rain-fall of between 8 and 12 inches with evenhigher amounts in some locations.

The precipitation comes on top of a heavymonsoon season that produced swollenrivers and reservoirs.

The Mexican Army assisted people whochose to leave their homes, but the state of

Tabasco held off full-scale evacuations.Three major ports along the Gulf’s south-

ern coast also were closed.Meanwhile, the Mexican government

issued a hurricane warning for Mexico’sPacific coast as Olaf packed winds of 75mph and was expected to strengthen overthe next several days.

Authorities issued a warning for PuntaSan Telmo to San Blas, and a broader tropi-cal storm warning from San Telmo to LazaroCardenas. Olaf was moving northwest at 10mph.

Hurricane Kate, meanwhile, was stillchurning out in the Atlantic, far from land,but it weakened slightly with winds drop-ping from 115 mph to 100 mph Sunday. Katewas expected to continue weakening as itmoves closer to Newfoundland in easternCanada sometime Tuesday.

GROZNY, Russia (AP) –Chechnya’s Kremlin-appointedleader, Akhmad Kadyrov,appeared headed for victory inSunday presidential electionsthat critics condemned as asham but Russia promoted as astep toward ending a decade ofviolence and chaos.

Kadyrov had about 85 per-

cent of the vote, according topreliminary and unofficial tal-lies reported by the ITAR-Tassnews agency. About 44 percentof the vote had been counted byearly Monday morning.

The chief of the regionalelection commission, Abdul-Kerim Arsakhanov, saidKadyrov’s victory was beyond

doubt, ITAR-Tass reported.Official figures were expectedlater Monday.

The results so far were not asurprise. Kadyrov had beenwidely expected to win, espe-cially after his leading chal-lengers withdrew or were castout of the race.

In the capital, where ruined

hulks of buildings rise like bro-ken teeth, and in impoverishedvillages, many Chechens turnedout in suits and fine dresses tovote. But others disdained theproceedings as a farce.

“In my view all of Russia isfar from democracy, and notjust Chechnya,” said LizaVishayeva, as she passed a

polling station that was the onlybuilding on her Grozny blockwithout holes chewed into it byartillery. She said she hadn’tvoted and doubted the electionwould bring significantimprovement.

“To change this to a peacefulsituation would be very tough,”she said.

Women sue Mattel,say ‘Limited Edition’dolls weren’t rare

EAST ST. LOUIS (AP) – Don’t expect the central figuresin an upcoming class action lawsuit to be taking the stand infederal court here. But they might provide the defendant,Mattel Inc., with an idea for some interesting new legally-themed products.

Just imagine the possibilities of “Exhibit ‘A’ Barbie andKen.”

In the civil lawsuit, two Madison County women whobought “limited edition” Barbies want Mattel to reveal justhow many of the dolls it made and sold.

“These women realized they were buying Barbies whichwere marketed as limited editions but weren’t being madein small enough numbers so as to increase in value,” said St.Louis lawyer Martin Perron, who filed the lawsuit on behalfof Pamela Cunningham and Reet Caldwell in MadisonCounty in 1999.

The women bought Barbies and Kens portraying charac-ters such as Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler in “Gone withthe Wind.”

Special holiday dolls, princess dolls and others pricedfrom $60 to $150 also were marketed as limited editions,Perron said.

Roy Horn of‘Siegfried & Roy’still critical aftertiger attack

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Roy Horn, the illusionist of theSiegfried & Roy duo who was mauled by one of his tigersduring a show, was able to communicate with doctors butstill in critical condition and on a ventilator Sunday.

The mauling could mean the end of one of the LasVegas Strip’s most popular shows. Its employees wereencouraged to look for new jobs, and officials said thateven if Horn recovers it’s unclear whether he would everbe able to perform again in the rigorous show.

MGM Mirage officials said Sunday that it might takeanother day or two before doctors have a prognosis forHorn, who was bitten in the neck and dragged off stage.The performer underwent surgery late Friday andSaturday at University Medical Center.

“There has been no change in his status, which quitefrankly is good news,” Mirage spokesman Alan Feldmansaid Sunday morning. “Considering the trauma he hasbeen through, no change in his status is a good place tobe.”

Horn, 59, was heavily sedated but able to respond tovoices and touch, MGM Mirage Resort chief executiveBobby Baldwin said.

“We are guarded, optimistic,” Baldwin said lateSaturday night outside the hospital. “We are pleased thenews isn’t worse than it is.”

It was halfway during a Friday night performance atThe Mirage hotel-casino that Horn appeared alone onstage with a 7-year-old, 600-pound white tiger namedMontecore.

Horn told the tiger to lie down. When it refused, Horntapped the cat on the nose with a microphone to get itsattention. The animal grabbed at Horn’s arm, causing theentertainer to stumble.

The tiger then lunged at Horn, who tried to beat theanimal away with the microphone. Audience memberssaid the tiger dragged Horn off the stage by the neck.The attack barely missed severing Horn’s carotid artery.

Horn and longtime partner Siegfried Fischbacherhave been a Las Vegas Strip staple for years, performingtheir magic show to sold-out crowds. The shows, withtheir signature white tigers and lions, are among the bestknown and most expensive on the Strip.

“For more than four decades, I have had the great priv-ilege of standing at the side of this remarkable man, andI will continue to do so during this very challengingtime,” Fischbacher said in a statement Saturday.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – As thenumber of women claiming they weregroped by Arnold Schwarzeneggergrew to 15 Sunday, the actor headed fora campaign march in Sacramento, whileGov. Gray Davis signed a law makingCalifornia the largest state to requireemployer-paid health care.

A Knight Ridder poll released lateSaturday found support for recallingDemocrat Davis might be slipping,although 54 percent favored removinghim while 41 percent were opposed.

Republican Schwarzenegger continuedto lead among potential replacements inTuesday’s election.

Davis, in Los Angeles on Sunday,signed a law he predicted will providehealth insurance to nearly 1.1 millionworking Californians who do not cur-rently receive job-based coverage.Though small businesses are exempted,the measure requires most employers topay for their employees’ health care.

“Today we take a bold step to reformhealth care,” Davis said before signing

the bill at a ceremony attended by theRev. Jesse Jackson, actor Danny Gloverand labor leaders.

Four more women surfaced Sunday toaccuse Schwarzenegger of groping,spanking or touching them inappropri-ately, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The latest group included an unidenti-fied 51-year-old woman who saidSchwarzenegger pinned her to him andspanked her repeatedly three years agoat a West Los Angeles post-productionstudio.

McDonald’s will introduce a new, leaner McNugget

CHICAGO (AP) –McDonald’s plans to intro-duce a new, all white-meatChicken McNugget withless fat and fewer calories,the latest move by the fast-food giant to offer healthierfare.

In the next six weeks,McDonald’s will begin offer-ing the smaller McNuggetsin all of its 13,600 U.Srestaurants, the ChicagoTribune reported inSunday’s edition.

The revampedMcNuggets are designed tomeet a growing consumerpreference for chickenbreast meat. The change is abig, and some say risky,move for the Oak Brook-based company.

Ever since McDonald’sfirst unveiled McNuggets in1983, they have been one ofthe restaurant’s most popu-lar entrees, especiallyamong children.

But the company says

extensive consumer testsover the past six monthsshow the time is right to shiftfrom a McNugget that is 30percent dark meat to onethat’s 100 percent white meat.

“It’s clear now that con-sumers prefer white meat,so we started to work onhow we might evolve theMcNugget to a situationwhere it is now all whitemeat,” said Wendy Cook,McDonald’s vice presidentof menu innovation.

Failure to produce goals dooms PanthersBy Michael GilbertS P O R T S R E P O R T E R

Not since Oct. 18 of last year have thePanthers participated in a scoreless tie, butafter 110 minutes at Lakeside Field onSunday nothing was settled between Easternand Vanderbilt.

It was a classic defensive battle withVanderbilt managing nine shots on goal andEastern putting eight on target. Consideringboth teams were held scoreless in theirMissouri Valley Conference openers onFriday, the lack of goals didn’t neccessarlycome as surprise to Eastern head coachAdam Howarth.

“I know they (Vanderbilt) have had trou-bles scoring and obviously we haven’tscored to many either, so we knew it wasgoing to be a close, tight game,” Howarthsaid. “But I thought we might be able tosneak a couple of goals in, and we had a fewchances, but it wasn’t meant to be.”

Vanderbilt’s head coach Tim McClementsaccounted his team’s lack of offensive out-bursts to fatigue. The match against Easternwas the Commodores second road game inthree days as they traveled to Peoria onFriday to open their MVC season againstBradley.

“I think it’s tough on the second game of aroad swing,” McClements said. “You have alot less energy than you do in the first gameand we got hammered at Bradley and thattook a lot out of us.”

Although the Commodores were not at thetop of their game Sunday, they did have thebest opportunity of the two teams to comeaway with win. At the 85:00 minute mark,Vanderbilt staged an attack deep in thePanthers end. Eastern keeper CaseyDeCaluwe stopped Vanderbilt forward, andCharleston native, Curt Hinds’ straight-onshot from three yards away to keep thegame deadlocked.

“That was a big-time save,” Howarth said.“It was from point-blank range. The guy hitit and he made a great save. He (DeCaluwe)kept us in the game because that would havebeen the game right there.

Both teams were struggling for chancesin overtime and Eastern’s hopes of winningtook a huge hit when freshman defenderJeff Diehl was ejected after he was calledfor his second yellow card of the game at the104th minute.

Howarth said the Panthers had to changetheir style of play after Diehl was cardedlate in the game.

“We had to be really kind of smart aboutit,” Howarth said. “We could only play withone forward for the last three minutes, so ifwe had a chance, we would only go up withtwo or three people.”

The game against Eastern marked ahomecoming for McClements. Now in hissecond year at Vanderbilt, McClementscoached Eastern from 1996-99, compiling a30-42-4 record during his stint in Charleston.Despite coaching at two schools since hisdeparture at Eastern (McClements was anassistant coach at Southern Methodist in2001 before coming to Vanderbilt for the2002 season), McClements said it’s stillpleasant to come back.

“It’s always nice to see people and thereare a lot of fond memories here at Eastern,”McClements said. “They were my firstDivision 1-A coaching job and I will alwaysbe thankful for that opportunity Easterngave me. I will always wish the best on theprogram.”

With the tie, Eastern’s record is 5-4-2 and0-1-1 in the MVC. The Panthers fell onFriday 2-0 to Western Kentucky. ThePanthers out shot Western Kentucky 15-11but surrendered a goal in each half to sufferthe defeat.

The Panthers will next be in action Oct. 10as they travel to Oklahoma to take on Tulsa.

Eastern’s cross country teamsdidn’t come out on top this week-end, but, considering each teams’conditions, they pulled off somestunning performances.

The men finished second to the15th-ranked Air Force Academyby 50 points and were ahead ofthird place Indiana State by 33points. The women finished with asolid fifth place performance.

The men’s team knew Air ForceAcademy would bring some toughcompetition, but it still hoped torun with them. The Falcons tookthe first six places and made itnear impossible for any of theteams to contend for the top spot.

“We knew coming in they wouldbring tough competition,” said

senior Jeff Jonaitis. “We had an offday though. I think any other daywe could compete with them.”

Considering all ailments, themen’s performance was up to par.

Many of the men said their legsfelt tired from the hard training inthe past weeks, and Jonaitis saidhe was coming off of a twistedankle.

Eastern head coach JohnMcInerney said his men ran a lit-tle tired and didn’t look as sharp asusual.

“Even though I would’ve liked tosee us compete a little more withAir Force, the men had some indi-viduals who really stepped up,”McInerney said.

The women’s team faced someof the same trials as the men.Some were tired and a few of thewomen competed with colds.

Although the team didn’t placewhere they wanted to, StephanieBone, Amanda Schutte and DebTygrett ran exactly where they

wanted to. “I kept my eye on Angie

(Simone) and Steph the wholetime,” said junior AmandaSchutte. “The first kilometer was alittle tough, but I felt really goodand tried to stay with the lead packthe whole time.”

As for the rest of the team, Bonesaid “A lot are tired from the real-ly hard couple weeks of practice.It didn’t pay off today, but it willreward us big in the end, when it’skey.”

McInerney’s emotions weremixed about the women’s teamperformance, but he said he washappy with the efforts put forth byindividuals.

In the next couple weeksMcInerney wants to get his run-ners into some championshiptraining.

“We’ll be training hard, but rest-ing, and concentrating on regain-ing health for the big OVC race,”said McInerney.

Carlson acknowledges theNittany Lions are a very goodteam. On the other hand, sheknows the Panthers still havesome work to do.

“We fought all the waythrough the match but we didnot capitalize on opportuni-ties,” Carlson said. “We’vereally never been in the posi-tion where we have needed tocome back. This shows that weare a little vulnerable.”

Overall, the Panthersmatched up well with theNittany Lions, Graziano said.

“The line-outs and scrumplay was as good as theirs” he said.

Graziano mentioned the big difference was Penn State was moreaggressive and their rucking was superior to ours.

Graziano is confident that his team will rebound from the loss. “When two good teams play, one is going to win and the other is

going to lose,” Graziano said. “(We’d rather) lose to a better teamthan one they should beat.”

After a bye week, the Panthers next play host to the ArkansasRazorbacks on senior day.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -Eastern lost its fourth consecutivegame to a winless SoutheastMissouri squad in a contestbetween conference foes lookingfor confidence.

Unfortunately for the Panthers,SEMO found some at HouckStadium.

The Panthers continued to shootthemselves in the foot from theopening possession as AndrewHarris responded to being namedstarter by throwing an a intercep-tion on his second pass of thegame.

The Indians went on a nine play,36-yard drive that concluded witha 23-yard field goal by Derek Kutzgiving SEMO a 3-0 lead.

The Panthers defense gainedplenty of momentum by stoppingthe Indians while SEMO had theball first and goal on one-yard-line.

“I thought our defense did aremarkable thing on those goalline stands,” Spoo said. “Overall, Ithought they played very well.”

However, Eastern proved it

could move the ball more effi-ciently than it had all season longby going on 14-play, 85-yard drivethat was highlighted by a 13-yardscramble by Harris and the juniorcollege transfer completed a 21-yard pass to tight end Nick Eller.

Sophomore kicker Steve Kuehnspilt the uprights on a 22-yardfield goal to even the score early inthe second quarter.

SEMO tailback Jamel Oliverfumbled on the next possessionand the Panthers were in greatfield position.

Andrew Harris ruined that gainin momentum by tripping overcenter Pascal Matla and pitchedthe ball to no one. When Harrisattempted to pick up the fumble,he kicked the ball five yards andinside linebacker Ricky Farmerrecovered the ball and returned itto the Panther 38-yard-line.

“Sometimes I’m just trying tomake a play out there,” Harrissaid.

Three completions by SEMOsenior quarterback Jack Tomcoresulted in a 37-yard field goal thatbounced off the upright andthrough for a 6-3 advantage.

13 plays and seven minuteslater, Andrew Harris gave thePanthers their most exciting playas the quarterback scrambled for10 yards by breaking a pair of

tackles and diving into the endzone for a touchdown.

SEMO managed to drive thelength of the field to get anotherfield goal from Kutz to make thedeficit a single point going into thelocker room.

“The attitude in the locker roomwas good but we knew we had toplay better to win and we just did-n’t make enough plays,” Easterndefensive tackle Marcus Loricksaid.

Harris was 11 of 12 on his pass-es for 98 yards in the first half, butknew his turnovers were a hugeturning point.

“Even though we were winning,we would’ve felt more comfort-able if we hadn’t given them thosepoints,” Harris said.

Eastern’s defense looked like itcame out of the tunnel inspired asthe pressure forced Tomco to rollright and throw off his back foot toforce an interception by safetyChad Cleveland.

“We wanted to get Tomco out ofthe pocket because that’s where hedoes his damage,” Lorick said.“Coach (defensive coordinator)Roc (Bellantoni) challenged us toget pressure.”

On the second play of the drive,deep in its own territory, Harrisdropped back and was hit by blitz-ing cornerback Kellin White. This

sack forced a fumble by Harristhat was picked up by juniordefensive tackle Caleb Daniel andreturned two yards for a touch-down.

“They disguised their blitz andhit me from behind and that’swhen my arm came forwardtoward the ground,” Harris said. “Ithought it was an incompletepass.”

Harris nearly turned the ballover again as the pass across hisbody was juggled by White andfell into the hands of Voss for 21yards.

Harris then took a quarterbackdraw 33 yards up the middle andwas hauled down on the SEMOthree-yard line.

Andre Raymond took a hand offover left tackle into the end zonefor a one-yard touchdown to givethe Panthers a one-point leadagain.

However, that lead wouldn’t lastvery long as the Indians took theball 72 yards in just more than twominutes to find the end zone.Converted wide receiver JamelOliver busted open a 31-yard runto pay dirt and along the way thesophomore broke four tackles onthe game-winning touchdown.

“It’s all about making the plays;they made them,” Spoo said.

Eastern saw a glimmer of light

when Oliver fumbled in the middleof the fourth quarter and thePanthers took over in SEMO terri-tory.

However, a 37-yard field goalattempt by Kuehn was hookedwide left.

The Panthers held SEMO to athree and out late in the game butfreshman punter David Simonhoffunleashed a 82-yard punt thatwent 65 yards in the air and endedany hopes of good field positionfor Eastern.

On fourth and one, Spoo wasforced to keep the offense on thefield and try to keep the drivealive. However, senior tailbackAndre Raymond was met by twodefensive players in the backfieldfor a four-yard loss and thePanthers turned the ball over.

“I think maybe that might havebeen the wrong call on fourth andone,” Spoo said.

SEMO then scored an insurancetouchdown and made it a 13-pointdeficit and sealed Eastern’s firstOVC loss of 2003.

However, the Panther lockerroom hasn’t phoned in the seasonin early October.

“We still feel we can win confer-ence because there’s still sevengames left to play in the OVC,”Spoo said. “There’s several posi-tives we can take from this today.”

The Panthers (6-4-2, 2-0) put up another goal inthe 25th minute on the effort from freshmanTrisha Walter. The Alton native dashed down theright side of the field, beating her defender andmaking a cross that found a wide open Liesen inthe box.

Liesen put the ball away for her 10th goal ofthe season.

“We just came out of the first half with awhole lot of intensity,” Connell said.

That intensity would turn around after Easterntook a 2-0 lead into halftime with a 10-1 shotadvantage. And when coaches and players say a2-0 lead is the worst lead to have, they are right.

Eastern came out slow in the second half andlooked to be playing a defensive game instead ofkeeping up an attack that worked for the first 45minutes.

The Golden Eagles (7-6, 1-1) were able to getsome needed momentum about 15 minutes intothe second half when Tech forward JoniSimmons hit an unassisted shot past a divingTiffany Groene to cut the lead to 2-1.

“We just lost our focus,” Connell said. “Theyjust dominated us at the end of the game.”

For the rest of the half, it went back and forthwith both teams having scoring chances in eachother’s boxes.

The Golden Eagles nearly tied the game withless than a minute remaining with the ballbouncing around in the Panthers’ box with sev-eral bodies surrounding it.

Groene eventually located the ball and smoth-ered it to capture the victory.

Eastern also convincingly beat MoreheadState 4-0 Friday, picking up its OVC opener.Liesen became Eastern’s all-time leading scorer,recording two goals and giving her 124 careerpoints. The previous record was held by BethAussin who had 122 points.

Teri LaRoche had had the other two goals for

Eastern, giving her her 4th goal of the season.Groene started the game, playing 79 minutes

while Lindsay Dechert cam in to complete theshutout.

Eastern next hosts a pair of games this week-end against new OVC schools Samford andJacksonville State.

Joining Gerth in double figurekills was Mary Welch (13), MeganKennedy (11) and Ruxer (12).Tennessee State was led by seniorJennifer Corral with 15 kills and 18digs. Eastern out-hit TennesseeState .257 to .152, overall.

One aspect of the Panthers’offense that doesn’t show up on astatistics sheet is the passing gameby Heather Redenbo. She set upclear chances for Eastern setters,allowing for clean kills.

“Heather passed very welltoday,” Eastern coach BrendaWinkeler said. “I think she also hada career match in digs.”

Redenbo did complete a careerhigh in digs with 17, which beat herold mark of 16 last season againstMurray State.

In his pregame speech to theteam, Panthers’ head coach FrankGraziano said “the Penn Stategame would be a struggle and wellfought.” He was right.

Early on, the Nittany Lionsgrabbed an 18-0 half-time lead.The Panthers were unable to comeback from this deficit and eventu-ally lost 35-5, which was thePanthers first lost since 2001against Marquette.

The game started off with bothteams trying to establish controlof the field. The Nittany Lionsbroke through the Pantherdefense with a goal by KimMagrini nine minutes into thegame. Both teams continued towork for field position until the 11-minute mark. Penn State made thescore 10-0 with a goal by EmilyDonaldson.

“The second goal was the turn-ing point of the game. After thefirst score we did not let up, butafter the second one, we did,”Graziano said. “It was difficult toget out of the hole after that.”

Shortly after Donaldson’s score,Devon Boyle made it 15-0 with ascore of her own. The NittanyLions would lead 18-0 at half-time.Senior Becky Carlson said PennState was successful on offensebecause the forwards were driv-ing the Panthers deep in their ownterritory. The Panthers were notable to get anything going offen-sively during the first half.

The second half was more of thesame as both teams continued to

fight for field position. Penn Statescored again with 24:17 left on agoal by Carrie White. About fiveminutes later, Amber Berlianscored the first of her two goals of

the game.Despite this deficit, Eastern

made one last run at the game. ThePanthers lone score came with12:26 by Billie Sayers. However,

the Nittany Lions were able to putthe match out of reach late in thesecond half and took the game 35-5.

There isnothing goodabout losing

To put it bluntly, Eastern wasfar too happy after its 30-17 lossto SEMO Saturday.

Starting quarterback AndrewHarris loves the media spotlightand seemingly wanted to talk forhours about the positives histeam showed and the amounthe’s improving (and to be honest,he is). Harris’ three fumbles andone interception totaledEastern’s four turnovers.

“I take all the blame for thoseturnovers because without them,we’re probably still in the game,”Harris said.

At least the junior collegetransfer was brave enough tosay his fumble on the SEMO 41-yard-line, and then playing HotPotato with the football, was hisfault.

Harris’ first comment on thegame was, “we played well.” Itwas like no one understood thatthis SEMO was nothing like thepreseason rankings led fans andplayers to believe. Eastern lost toan above average football teamwith a confidence problem.

It wasn’t just Harris that wasoverly excited for no reason.

Defensive Tackle MarcusLorick seemed like the seasoncan be turned around at anypoint. Well, now that that hasbeen confirmed, Panther fanscan come down from the balcony.

“We just have to keep gettingbetter every week and we knowwe can win conference,” Loricksaid.

For the Panthers to win con-ference, they are going to have tobeat much better teams thanSEMO.

Even head coach Bob Spoo,who is known to all of the mediaas the most boring post gameinterviewee, seemed just a littletoo happy.

“I thought it was a good effortby all our guys,” Spoo said. “Thisdefinitely gives us something tobuild on.”

I would love if Spoo couldexplain how a 13-point loss issomething to build on when youhave one of the best defenses inthe Ohio Valley Conference.

A first-year head coach atSlippery Rock knows you circlethe wagons after a win, not a dis-appointing loss. See the ChicagoBears as an example.

Spoo even said the offensiveline blocked pretty well (in fact,Harris was only sacked twice),but the starting quarterback isour leading rusher–and yes,that’s a very bad thing.

Andre Raymond rushed forseven yards in the last twogames. The senior tailback hasn’tbeen able to hit the holes whenthey have existed and/or beenmet with defensive tackles threeyards in the backfield.

News flash, Eastern is goingthrough what’s termed a rebuild-ing season and hopefully theycan reload for future seasons.

The fact is, Eastern, at 1-4, isn’ta very good football team rightnow and Spoo had a feeling the2003 season would go this way,but didn’t tell anyone. Any posi-tive sign will send the 66-year oldman into doing cartwheels on thesidelines.

The only question is how badwill Eastern be this season andcan they learn from their mis-takes by the summer workoutsof 2004?

It was a difference of two halvesfor the Eastern women’s soccerteam Sunday against TennesseeTech at Lakeside Field.

After controlling the ball for near-ly 75 percent of the first half andclimbing to a quick 2-0 lead, Easternfell asleep in the second half andalmost let go of the game altogether.

But coach Steve Ballard said theimportant thing is they didn’t, andhis team’s 2-1 win was just anotherlearning experience to take into therest of Ohio Valley Conference play.

“We relaxed and lost our edge,”Ballard said. “It’s just another thingthat we can learn from in the future.The girls got the win and that’s real-ly what’s important.”

Eastern came out quick, workingthe ball around the midfield to getthe team’s first goal two minutesinto the game. Senior forward BethLiesen got the ball in the middle andhad an option to both sides and madethe right decision.

Liesen faked to the right and thenslid the ball to the left to an openSharyne Connell who rocketed ashot over Tech’s goalkeeper LisaWourms from about 16 yards out.

Four Panthers reached double-figures inkills, including junior outside hitter Erica Gerthwho had a game-high 22.

Eastern has shown much more confidenceand has played better as a team since ending itsearly tough non-conference tournament sched-ule.

The Panthers (6-11, 3-1) took advantage of aTiger team that came out flat in the first game.The Tigers (4-11, 0-4) had a .089 attack percent-age in the first game compared to the Panthers’.395, and had several attacking and servingerrors.

Game two was more of the same as Easternjumped to an early 5-1 lead with two kills and aservice ace from freshman middle hitter KaraSorenson.

Tennessee State would recover, getting asclose as 20-19 before Eastern pulled away for a30-26 win.

Eastern was ready to go for the sweep, up 17-9 in the third game, but the Tigers had otherideas.

Tennessee State eventually came back to tiethe game at 26 and took its first lead of theentire match with a 29-28 lead after a Gerthattack error. The Tigers took the game afterGerth had another error, forcing a fourth game.

The fourth game went back and forth witheight lead changes until Eastern broke loosewhile up 21-18. The Panthers outscored theTigers 9-1 in the final 10 points to end thematch.
