Mandy Marshall / Photo editorDrew Bischoff, a freshmen undecided major, slides head first down the syrupy makeshift slip and slide at the Fun Games Finals Friday afternoon in theSouth Quad. The Slip ‘n Slide, that made up the first leg of the relay was initially covered in chocolate syrup, whip cream, and honey, but that was not slip-pery enough so members of the Homecoming Committee sprayed the tarp down with water.

No agreement after 13hours of weekend talks;contract up Tuesday
By Melanie SchneiderAdministration editor
Eastern’s chapter of theUniversity Professionals of Illinoisand administrators met for 13hours this weekend and wereunable to resolve contract negotia-tions.
The contract was supposed toexpire Oct. 22, but was extendeduntil Sunday. And after talks span-ning three days, both sides agreedto extend the contract again, untilTuesday, said Jeanne Simpson,chief negotiator for the administra-tion.
“We feel we have made someprogress,” Simpson said. “We willcontinue to work toward an agree-ment. We are quite willing to dothat.”
Simpson said no additional bar-gaining sessions are planned, butthe administrators certainly offeredto meet with the UPI negotiatingteam again.
David Radavich, UPI chiefnegotiator, said he could not sayhow negotiations will work out atthis point.
“No progress was made inissues of critical importance to thefaculty and staff,” Radavich said ina written statement.
Eastern’s chapter of UPI, whichrepresents about 650 faculty mem-bers, is the faculty union that repre-sents all Unit A and Unit B faculty.On Oct. 15, UPI filed an unfairlabor practices charge against theuniversity because the university isnot bargaining in good faith,Radavich previously said.
Faculty and staff compensationis the most pressing issue causingthe delay in finalizing the contractnegotiations with the university.Salaries for Eastern’s faculty andstaff rank among the lowest in theregion and the state among peer

Busam, a senior Englishmajor, said, “I was excitedand surprised to hear myname and I had no idea Iwould win. It’s an honor toknow that a Sigma PhiEpsilon was able to repre-sent EIU for two years in arow as HomecomingKing.”
Herzog said she “had ablast” this week, and thechange of moving the coro-nation to the game was forthe better.
“The court got morerecognition on a personallevel and I personally gotto know the other candi-dates better,” she said. “Iknew the other candidateshad a great chance, and Itried not to think about ittoo much.”
Busam said moving thecoronation to the gamegave everyone a chance tobe more involved. He saidit became more intenseevery day and he washappy Alpha Phi andSigma Phi Epsilon were
represented.Both Herzog and Busam
had their families in atten-dance at the game to sup-port them.
“My mom and daddrove four hours fromhome and it was specialthat they dropped every-thing for me and it meant alot for me for them to bethere,” Busam said. “I lovethem for it.”
After graduation,Busam said he plans toteach upper-level highschool honors literatureand coach football andsoftball at a high school.
Herzog said she hasplans to get married in Juneand find a teaching job inearly childhood specialeducation in the Clintonschool district.
“I was thrilled to win forAlpha Phi and that peopleactually voted for me,”Herzog said. “I love mysorority and admire a lot ofthe girls in my house.
“It is great to representthis school and it could nothave been a better honorfor me. I hope I can con-tribute as much as I can torepresent EIU during mylast year here,” she said.

to come to Eastern because inSouth Dakota, they were far fromtheir family, who live in the South.
“We were looking to relocate.We like the Mid-west,” Robertssaid.
He said he enjoys working andteaching at Eastern, and enjoysworking with the other chairs, whohe finds supportive and willing tohelp. He also said he likes his sur-roundings in the newly-renovatedBuzzard Hall.
“The surroundings really areencouraging and facilitate goodwork here,” Roberts said.
Roberts said there isn’t much hedoesn’t like about Eastern.
“I’m by nature a pretty positiveperson. I tend not to dwell on nega-
tive things,” Roberts said.One thing Roberts has learned
as a boss is how to admit to his fac-ulty when he can’t do somethingand needs their help. He said onetime, he and a colleague were on anoutdoor training course and wereclimbing a wall and he realized hecouldn’t keep going and his col-league had to help him through it.
“I think that was a real teachablemoment,” Roberts said. “I have torely on the person I’m roped to tohelp us both achieve the goals. (Myemployees) always step forwardand step in to help us both get to thetop.”
His goal for the department is tocontinue creating a positive envi-ronment for his staff to work.
“I want us to continue creating aspace where students learn and fac-ulty enjoy being,” Roberts said.
His responsibilities as chair arediverse and include such things as
strategic planning, mentoring facul-ty, modeling and supporting facultyresearch, representing faculty toadministration and he also serveson numerous committees.
Roberts said the departmentchair before him at Dakota StateUniversity was a big influence onhim and continues to be someonehe calls for advice in certain situa-tions.
“My first department head reallymentored me along,” he said. “Hehad a big influence and still does.”
“(Responsibilities for) this par-ticular position, over the last 10 to15 years, has really increased,”Roberts said.
He said he enjoys working atEastern and the counseling and stu-dent development department.
“When I’m done with the day Ifeel more energized,” he said. “It’sa big ‘we’ because it’s not some-thing I can do alone.”

A different flier from UPI statesEastern administrators earn anaverage salary that is 15.5 percentabove the national norms.
The contract, which expiredAug. 31, has continued to beextended during the past twomonths. If an agreement betweenthe university and UPI is notreached soon, there is a possibilitythe union could go on strike, butRadavich previously said the unionwould avoid a strike, if at all possi-ble.

Carol Surles, Eastern president and chairof the Council on University Planning andBudget, Friday discussed the reasoningbehind Eastern’s budget requests and allo-cation decisions with other CUPB mem-bers.
CUPB member David Carpenter said itis important to rank campus priorities todecide where university money should go.Surles said it is difficult to strictly adhere tothe rankings and sub-committee recommen-dations because some flexibility is neededin order to receive money from the state foruniversity needs.
“The rankings must be realistic and con-nect with state priorities and university pri-orities to ensure we come back with some-thing. We must not be afraid to be creative,flexible and able to make a decision,” Surlessaid.
“This is not a power struggle for us toremove the advisory committees from thistask. We need their help,” she said.
Teshome Abebe, vice president for acad-emic affairs, agreed the issue of flexibilitybecomes very important to an institution.He said the funds from the budget requestsgo toward fulfilling obligations andaddressing important issues of the universi-ty.
Abebe said decisions are not madethrough last minute arrangements with littlethought or contemplation
“Please allow for some judgment basedon the experiences we bring, we need toallow flexibility for each other,” Abebe said.
Surles said definite structure couldalmost be considered to be a fault for theuniversity.
She compared the strict adherence to therecommended rankings of the advisorycommittees to the walls of a box.
“We can’t stay in a box and succeed,”
she said. “We are going to listen to you, andI can’t tell you how much I want to move usforward.”
When judgments or decisions have beenmade by administrators, Surles said shewould make the reasons for the judgmentsthoroughly articulated to the university.
“If I’ve made a decision I will let youknow about it, and the decision will bemade for the best, most compelling rea-sons,” Surles said.
CUPB members also received an expla-nation of the appropriated funds externalbudget request process, which outlined howthe university negotiates their requests formoney with the Illinois Board of HigherEducation and the Illinois State Assemblybefore the Governor signs the appropriationbill for the university.
The recommended members for thevice-presidential advisory subcommitteeswere also approved at the meeting.
The chosen members for the Academic
affairs vice presidential advisory subcom-mittees are: Carpenter, English professor;Mary Anne Hanner, professor of commu-nication disorders and sciences; HankDavis, associate professor of accountingand finance; and the alternate for the com-mittee is health studies professor RobertBates.
Chosen members for the business affairsvice presidential advisory subcommitteesare: Larry Cannon, director ofaccounting/finance and assistant director ofbusiness services; Sandy Bingham-Porter,student services data processing analyst;Lynn Kimbrough, environmental control;and the alternate is Tom Heitt.

Campus deserves thanksfor donating money
Oct. 8 marked the second year of atradition at Eastern. This campus ral-lied together, wore denim and pinkribbons and donated $3,030.78 to theSusan G. Komen Breast CancerFoundation in honor of our ownCyndi Miller Rhoads for Lee NationalDenim Day. The amount raised isexactly $1,000 more than was raisedlast year.
There are many hardworking peo-ple who made this day successful andheartwarming. The members of theNational Residence Hall Honoraryand its Community ServiceCommittee are to be applauded.Denim Day could not have happenedwithout those members collectingmoney and making signs. But each of
those individuals wanted to make adifference, and that was evident afterthe success Denim Day had.
A special thanks also goes out tothe Walt Disney World CollegeAlumni Association, the women ofDelta Sigma Theta, the various resi-dence hall councils, greek organiza-tions, Recognized StudentOrganizations, academic departments,campus offices and every student thathelped support this cause.
As president of the NRHH, it iseasy for me to say how proud I am ofNRHH and the campus community.$3,030.78 is an illustration of how
proud we all should be of supportingresearch for breast cancer.

Organizations on campus will be workingthis week to make sure students are awareof the dangers of alcohol.
Students should take advantage of theseplanned activities to learn more about alcohol andhow it affects people.
On Monday, Zeta Phi Beta will distribute redribbons on campus to remind students of alcoholawareness.
On Tuesday, students can get involved andshare their negative experiences in the brick wallin the union, sponsored by PEACE.
The brick wall will present students with reallife experiences of other students. Packets are
available in the resi-dence halls and any stu-dent on campus canwrite their own story ona brick to be added tothe wall.
This is a great opportunity for students whohave had negative experiences with alcohol tostop other students from making the same mis-take.
Also on Tuesday, Alpha Gamma Delta willsponsor Lalanobooza. The event is a non-alco-holic event where students can create “mocktails,”which are cocktails without alcohol.
A lecture called “College Drinking Games”will be held Thursday. This will focus on theeffects of college drinking games.
Throughout the week other alcohol free eventswill be held including a Campus Perk Thursdayin in the basement of Thomas Hall and a costumeparty Friday at the Wesley FoundationLighthouse.
Various organizations on campus have workedhard to organize these events to try and keep stu-dents safe.
Students should take advantage of these events.What they learn could come in handy later. Themessage is not just coming from administrators,but from other students as well.
Students should take to heart what they aresaying, and learn from other mistakes before theyhave to make the same mistake on their own.

■ The editorial is the opinion of the editorial board of The DailyEastern News.
I t has happened to the bestof us. Nearly everyone hassat in class, struggling tokeep their eyes open, think-
ing of that midterm that is worthhalf of their grade in just twohours away.
For me, the pre-test classesare easier to get through awake.
I may not be paying attentionto anything the professor is say-ing, but I’m awake.
Rather than concentrating onthe class material my mind is racing with lists of informa-tion I had attempted to memorize in my all-night studyingfrenzy the night before. I am constantly quizzing myself try-ing to remember random information that was discussedonce in class that may or may not be on the test.
In my pre-test jitters, sitting still though class is a greatachievement for me. The closer I get to starting the test theless my ability to sit still exists.
My roommates can tell you how they have seen me pass-ing across our common room floor for the half hour before abig test spouting out facts on cloud formation, the charactersfrom “Odyssey” or the difference between “their” and“there.”
After the test any signs of alertness are gone.If I have a test in a 10 a.m. class and then have to face a
noon class after minimal amounts sleep, the accomplish-ment is not sitting still for 50 minutes, it is staying awakefor 50 minutes.
Any adrenaline that went into getting through the test isgone. I have no willpower to stay awake what so ever.
And this time of the semester I’m not the only one fight-ing to stay awake.
I’ve seen people sleep through an entire class. Just aweek or so ago I watched a fellow classmate dose off foralmost the entire class period while he sat just two feet fromthe professor at the front of the classroom.
While I have never seen anything as funny as as fallingout of chairs I’ve heard stories about it. I’ve even heard ofpeople falling asleep in their dinners in food service or snor-ing in class.
It is no surprise why.Walking though the halls and
and sitting in class it is notuncommon to hear a bunch ofpeople saying, “I was up allnight last night,” or “this is mythird all-nighter this week,” buteven though college students areyoung and resilient no one cansleep that little and still be func-tional.
In a study by The StanfordCenter, researchers found that
too little sleep leaves people with the same abilities as drink-ing too much.
Yes it’s true, driving on too little sleep is the same as dri-ving drunk, just like going to class on too little sleep is thesame as going to class drunk.
Sleeplessness impairs people’s reflexes and reasoning.This time of year, students are faced with this problem
more than ever. Students are cramming for midterms andworking on projects. Deadlines are pushing people to theirlimits.
While it is important to do well on tests, falling asleep inclass or sitting on the edge of your chair quizzing yourselffor an upcoming test is going to hurt you when a test comesaround in that class.
Not to mention the dangers of no sleep.If lack of sleep causes people to be in a drunken like
state, what kind of dangers are we placing ourselves in bynot sleeping?
Students are not only putting themselves at risk for poorclass work and maybe even poor test performance; they aresetting themselves up for bodily injury and depleting theimmune system.
The best way to get thought midterms is to plan aheadand budget your time.
There have been many nights if I had planned ahead Iwould not have been up at 4 a.m. still studying and I wouldhave been awake in my 3 p.m. class.
Mid-semester woes can take their toll“Students arecramming formidterms andworking on pro-jects. Deadlinesare pushing peo-ple to their limits.”

Student Senate members haveadded a new committee while delet-ing another in the hopes of strength-ening the bond between Charlestoncitizens and students.
Last week senate membersapproved the creation of an ExternalRelations Committee.
The committee will replace theAppropriations Committee, whichserved as a liaison between theApportionment Board and theStudent Senate.
Speaker of the Senate MattLayette said he appointed JeremyRuppel to serve as chair of the com-mittee. Ruppel was formerly theAppropriations Chair.
Layette said he appointed Ruppelas chair because he wanted to keephim on Legislative Leaders, which isa committee that determines the leg-islation that will be discussed at sen-ate.
Layette also gave credit to Ruppelfor proposing the idea at the CityCouncil meeting where the possibili-ty of extending the bar hours wasbeing discussed.
“It is the first step toward develop-ing communications betweenCharleston and the university,” hesaid.
Ruppel said he hopes the commit-tee will be beneficial to both the uni-versity and the Charleston community.
“Hopefully, (the committee)develops some solutions to resolveproblems Charleston has with theuniversity and the university has withCharleston,” he said.
The committee will be made up ofa wide group of people, including
three senate members, the mayor ofCharleston, one faculty member, oneuniversity administrator, two CityCouncil members, one citizen ofCharleston and one representativefrom the Charleston Chamber ofCommerce.
The duties of the committee are tomeet at least once a month, establishand promote productive discoursebetween the citizens of Charleston,the City Council, the mayor, othernon-university affiliated groups, theentire university community andother groups who interact frequentlywith university and its students.

Despite the cold 40-degreeweather on Saturday afternoon,hundreds of people tailgatedbefore the Eastern vs. TennesseeTech football game, and someeven opted to extend the celebra-tion throughout the game.
The Homecoming tailgatingparty, which was held behindO’Brien Stadium, began at 11a.m. and was supposed to endwhen the game started, but manystudents, alumni and facultystayed at the party as late as 3p.m.
“It was a really good time andthere were a lot more peoplethere than I expected,” said AndyDeLassus, a junior speech com-munication major.
Kickoff for the football game1:30 p.m., but most of the crowdwent to the game at halftime.About a quarter of the peoplewent into the game when it start-
ed, said Dan Lempa, a juniormathematics major, but morewent in during the second half.
People who arrived earlyparked their cars in the field sothey could set up their own areato grill and socialized. Walkingthrough the crowd was almostimpossible because of the hugeturnout of the event.
The campus band Day-Timerperformed throughout the dayand had a good reaction from thecrowd, playing songs by SarahMcLachlan, Michael Jacksonand Green Day. Many peoplewere up and dancing along to themusic while the band played.
Although many peoplebrought their own grills to barbe-cue with, a tent was set up wherefree food was offered.
“This was the first tailgatingparty I’ve been to and if I camemore prepared, I think it wouldbe fun to go to another one,” saidJustin Freeman, a sophomoresociology major.

Bitter temperatures did not keepcrowds home Saturday as they linedSixth and Seventh streets for theHomecoming parade in a show ofsupport for Eastern.
With temperatures in the upper30s, enthusiastic parade-goers bun-dled up in hats, coats and gloves tosee the floats and other features theparade had to offer.
“It was a good parade,” said resi-dent Roger Paul. “It didn’t even feelcold once we got started.”
Others who attended the paradesaid they would not have missed itfor the world.
“I’ve only missed once in 26
years,” said Carolyn Woolever, aninstructor from the school of familyand consumer sciences. “I loveparades.”
Woolever was accompanied at theparade by her daughter and a student,Danielle Daehke, a senior elemen-tary education major.
Like Woolever, many peopleattended the parade with family andfriends.
The parade route began at the cor-ner of Seventh Street and LincolnAvenue with a fire engine and sirensleading the way. Firemen from theCharleston Fire Department handedout candy bags to the crowd for thetreats that would be tossed from thefloats.
Waving from a red convertible,
Eastern President Carol Surles wasone of the first ones to pass by. Surleswas followed by the Pink Panthersand Eastern’s color guards whowaved their flags as the band playedthe school fight song.
“I liked the bands a lot,” saidEmily Newman, a senior elementaryeducation major. “(Music) puts youin the spirit.”
The Eastern Cheer Team got thecrowd fired up with school spirit asthey were accompanied by Billy thePanther, who was happy to greet peo-ple and shake hands.
Homecoming queen candidatesAndrea Herzog, Kara Kessel, AmyMcPeak and Freshman AttendantLaura McNellis rode through theparade in a white horse-drawn car-
riage, while the Homecoming KingCandidates rode behind in a LeBaronconvertible.
Following the Homecomingcourt was Charleston Mayor DanCougill. Other officials who partici-pated in the parade included ColesCounty Coroner Mike Nichols andIllinois Senator Judy Myers. Cougillwas followed by winners of theDistinguished Alumnus Award,Alumni Service Award and theOutstanding Young Alumnus Award.
The song “Bad Boys” playedwhen officers from the East CentralIllinois Task Force marched throughwith police dogs and tossed candyfrom a DARE jeep.
Some of the many float themesincluded Delta Sigma Pi and Kappa
Delta’s “The Big Apple” which fea-tured an elaborate display of build-ings and a working fountain.Lambda Chi Alpha and Alpha SigmaAlpha’s float had a gigantic bust ofUncle Sam with the words “I wantyou” written on the back.
Most of the crowd appeared to beimpressed with Delta Tau Zelta’s TopGun float which was complete with aplane; it nearly brushed against peo-ple with its enormous wingspan.
“The floats were awesome thisyear,” said Christi Iller, a senior mar-keting major.
Residence halls also marchedthrough the parade with themes, suchas the Triad’s “Around the World”and Carman Hall’s “America theBeautiful.”

Jeremy Ruppel,External Relations Committee chair

The issue of extendingCharleston bar hours until 2 a.m.on Fridays and Saturdays will gobefore the City Council next
semester, not in November, aspreviously stated by the council.
At the first meeting of the TaskForce on Bar Extension HoursThursday, committee memberssaid they thought more time wasneeded to address issues sur-rounding the vote.
Mayor Dan Cougill andStudent Senate member WillBrooks chaired the meeting.
During the meeting, problemswith the hours extension wereidentified and solutions were
found, said Jeremy Ruppel,Student Senate member and chairof the recently-formed ExternalRelations committee.
“A lot of solutions were found;we’re just trying to find the bestone,” said Ruppel.
One of the reasons the commit-tee made the decision to hold offon the voting of extending the barhours is to fully implement andassess the outcome of some of thesolutions they have come up with.
“We have moved back the vot-
ing so we can implement solu-tions and get people aware of theend result,” Ruppel said. “This isnot a lagging effort on our part, itis just going to take time.”
Solutions discussed includededucational programming for stu-dent awareness and bar alterna-tives.
Senate Speaker Matt Layettesaid the first meeting definitelyhelped.
However, there are still con-flicting views, concerns, and
opinions, that are unresolvedbetween the different representa-tives on the Task Force, Layettesaid.
“Even though there are stillhard feelings, some type of com-promise has to come out,” Layettesaid.
Ruppel said he thought themeeting was a good starting point.
“I thought the meeting waselaborate,” Ruppel said. “It wasan extension of what was alreadytalked about.”

The women’s soccer team cameout a little flat Saturday atEvansville and as a result it was out
muscled by thePurple Aces ina 2-0 loss.“Evansville is ateam that isvery strong and
they are big and physical,” assistantcoach Adam Howarth said.
“We were very flat in the firsthalf and it took us a while to figureout what they were doing.”
Evansville (7-8-2) scored first atthe 44:16 mark of the first half whena Panther defender inadvertentlytipped in the ball in.
“That was a real bad time to con-cede a goal,” Howarth said.“Unfortunately we gave up anothergoal early in the second half.”
The Purple Aces were able toadd to their lead at the 52:33 markwhen Ashley Sandefur scored off anassist from Shaunna Farrell.
The Panthers (7-9, 3-0) wereunable to generate any offense in thegame, negating a solid effort fromgoaltender Jeanine Fredrick.
Fredrick’s performance in goalwas one positive aspect of the gamefor the Panthers. The junior goalietallied 11 saves for the game.
However, the most importantstatistic for Eastern turned out to beshots on goal.
Evansville out-shot the Panthers
22-7 for the game and 13-4 in thesecond half.
“We really didn’t penetrate at alloffensively,” Howarth said.
According to Howarth, thePanthers lackluster play in the firsthalf might have been because of theteam looking ahead to this week’sOhio Valley Conference matchupwith Tennessee-Martin.
When the Panthers travel toMartin, Tenn. Friday to take onTennessee-Martin, they will havethe opportunity to clinch the topspot in the conference.
Despite the loss, Howarth andthe Panthers remain upbeat andfocused on the task of winning theOVC.
“We’ve just got to look forwardand make some adjustments,”Howarth said.
“It’s always been our mainfocus to win the OVC.”

No. 14 Creighton (10-2-1, 4-0-0).Eastern came up empty on all sixof its shots on goal, while theBluejays were able put the ball inthe net three times in 11 attempts.
The story was the same for thePanthers Friday against Drake.Eastern attempted six shots ongoal and was unable to capitalize.
Drake took a dozen shots atEastern goalie Matt Evers, beat-ing him three times.
Following the two road games,Eastern will return home for apair of matches this weekend.

A slow start made for an excit-ing comebackwin on Fridayand a team rid-ing high onadrenaline wasable to domi-nate the gameon Saturday forthe Panthersvolleyball teamthis past week-end.
The Panthers (14-7, 9-2),engulfed in Homecoming excite-ment got off to a slow start againsta strong Tennessee Tech team onFriday before making a remark-able comeback to win in fivegames.
The Panthers didn’t leave anydoubt as to who was in control ofSaturday’s game.
Eastern hit an amazing .368kill percentage in the first gameas they jumped on the BlueRaiders and won the game 15-3.
The next two games weremuch of the same as the Pantherswere able to win 15-8 and 15-12,ending the match in straightgames.
“Our passing was good tonightand our defense played well,”outside hitter Amy Heimann said.
“Being Homecoming, we gotexcited and after the win onFriday the adrenaline was highand that helped us win(Saturday),” setter Cari Stuchlysaid.
Friday’s win was a hard-fought battle and got the teamexcited to play Saturday.
Tech, tied for second in theOVC coming into the game, gotoff to a quick start by winning thefirst two games 15-12 and 15-11.
“Our defensive intensity waslow and we did not pass well atthe beginning of the game,”interim coach Andrew Epperlysaid.
“In the locker room I told the
team we would win the next threegames and they really believedit.”
A different Panther teamseemed to take the court in thethird and fourth game.
Led by the explosive play ofoutside hitter Erin Morrison andsetter Stephanie Brandys, Easternnever relinquished the lead toTech in either game, winningwith scores of 15-9 and 15-12.
“Without those two players(Morrison and Brandys), wewould not have won the gametonight,” Epperly said.
Tech lead the fifth game 13-10when a questionable call by thereferees led to a yellow card foroutside hitter Meleah Cutler aftershe had a few words for the offi-cials.
The action by Cutler helpedfire the Panthers up as they madea comeback winning the game18-16 and the match 3-2.
“In a way, I think it got theteam fired up and I know it gotme fired up,” she said.
Next up for the Panthers willbe a non-conference match with
DePaul Tuesday.
The Panthers have had some prob-lems of late playing on Friday nights.
Despite their 5-0 record in confer-ence matches that fall on Fridays, thePanthers have struggled to win the pasttwo weeks against Tennessee Martinand TennesseeTech.
“We are nota Friday nightteam becauseevery Fridaygame wes t r u g g l e , ”interim headcoach AndrewEpperly said.
Never say dieStephanie Brandys’volleyball phi-
losophy helped fire up the team onFriday night against Tennessee Techas she came up with 19 digs for thePanthers.
“I feel that if the ball is in the courtnothing is impossible,” Brandys said.
They want them bigin Tennessee
Eastern faced the top two blocking
teams in the conference this weekendin Tennessee Tech and MiddleTennessee.
Eastern, with only one player at sixfeet tall, faced Tech, which has five play-ers at least six feet tall, and MiddleTennessee,who also had five players thatwere at least six feet tall.
The Panthers were out-blocked 27-15on the weekend but in both games theyout-killed the opponents by an average offour per game.
Tough conference com-petition
The wins this weekend movesEastern into second place in the OhioValley Conference with a 9-2 record.
The conference has six teamswith six wins thus far and four ofthem are very close to the top witheight wins or more.
“Anybody can win a match thisseason because every team is verycompetitive, including in the top fiveof the conference,” Tech coachJennie Gilbert said.
“This is different than in the pastwhere one or two teams normallytake off from the rest of the confer-ence.”

Friday nights notkind to Panthers
By Kyle BauerSports editor
The men’s and women’s tennisteams closed out their fall seasonSunday with wins over ChicagoState.
The women came away fromthe match with a good feeling andalthough the men did, they did notfare as well.
The women had no problemscoming away with a win, takingthe match 6-1.
The only match the Pantherslost was in the No. 1 positionwhen Yovita Widyharma fell toJoann Phang (7-5, 6-4).
Eastern took the rest of the sin-gles matches and won bothmatches in an abbreviated doublescompetition.
“I’m very pleased with howthe women performed,” headcoach Michael Hunt said. “Theyplayed with confidence and didwhat they were supposed to do
and went out and backed it up.”One of those players that has
certainly gained confidencethroughout the season is freshmanDinali DeSilva, who has now wonthree straight matches.
“She is now playing with con-fidence,” Hunt said. “She is goingto be a strong player in thespring.”
DeSilva, and Widyadharma areboth sacrificing their records byplaying out of position, but aregaining valuable match experi-ence at the same time.
“Widyadharma and DeSilvashould probably be playing in themiddle of our lineup,” Hunt said.“I’m pleased they’ve been able tostep up. They would have a betterrecord if they were playing lower,but the experience they are gettingis important.”
Another positive for thePanthers is the doubles problemof a few weeks ago appears tohave been solved.
The Panthers once again sweptdoubles competition withWidyadharma and DeSilva win-ning their match (8-3) and KristiMartin and Barb Wolfe also win-ning. (8-0).
“I’m very pleased with theway doubles are progressing,”
Hunt said. “I asked them to play amore aggressive style.”
The men also earned a winover Chicago State, but it wasn’tas impressive as the women’s win.
Eastern won 5-2, but Hunt saidhis team’s level of competition isnot up to where it should be.
“Overall, it was a lacklusterperformance,” he said. “We onlyhad four singles matches and wewon two by default. We won 5-2,but it doesn’t feel like we did.”
Lukasz Pluta, Jason Braun,Zach Vaughn and Sergey Mirnovall came up winners for thePanthers.
“The men did not fare as wellas I would have liked them to,”Hunt said.
“Chicago State was playingshort-handed. We were not look-ing past them because for most ofthe guys this is the last match ofthe fall.”
One performance that didstand out in Hunt’s mind was theplay of Jason Braun.
“Jason Braun has played wellfor us overall and he did Sundaytoo,” Hunt said. “He was all-OVCat the No. 6 spot last year and isplaying well at the No.4 for us.He had to step up a level and hasplayed well.”

Bucs beat Bears by a field goal
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —Warren Sapp refers to opposingquarterbacks as the “hunted”and the rookies as “fresh meat.”On Sunday it was CadeMcNown’s turn to run from theNFL sack leader, who led asolid defensive effort that gavethe Tampa Bay Buccaneers a 6-3 victory over the ChicagoBears.
Martin Gramatica kickedtwo first-half field goals forTampa Bay (3-3), and the Bucskept the Bears off the score-board until an ineffectiveMcNown was benched.
It was the fewest points theBucs have scored in a victorysince a 3-0 win over KansasCity in the 1979 regular seasonfinale.
“I’d like to have a 38-0blowout so I don’t have to runaround at the end of the game.But I’ll take it,” Sapp said. “I’drather be talking about an uglywin than an ugly loss.”
Jim Miller completed a 50-yard pass to Bobby Engram toset up a field goal for Chicagowith 2:24 to go.

The Panther offense did clean upits act after halftime, committingonly one penalty in the second half,but it was by far the most costly.
Late in the fourth quarter, afterTech had taken a seven-point lead,tailback J.R. Taylor returned theGolden Eagle kickoff 61 yards to theTTU 40-yard line. But the run gotcalled back on an illegal-block-in-the-back penalty, bringing up a firstand 10 from Eastern’s own 5-yardline.
“It’s not a deliberate thing (block-ing in the back) to do that, butthere’s a gray area there and some-times those penalties are going tohappen,” Spoo said. “But it’s thedead ball fouls that killed us.
“I think those guys should haveenough discipline to back off andnot foul,” he said. “It is the olderguys that have been around andknow better than to commit thosepenalties. That’s just a lack of disci-pline on those individuals’parts to
get those penalties.”Personal fouls weren’t the only
method by which Eastern cost itselfa win; fumbles and dropped ballsalso proved to be critical in the out-come of the game. McDavid fumbled three times on theday, while Eastern’s receiving corps,without the services of junior split-end Frank Cutolo, dropped severalpasses.
After recovering his own fumblein the first half, McDavid turned theball over twice in the second half.One came on a draw play, givingTech the ball on Eastern’s 24-yardline.
McDavid’s third fumble of theafternoon was the most costly. Down14-7 with just 1:50 remaining on theclock, Eastern had driven down toTech’s 28-yard line when a pitch toMcDavid appeared as if it wouldresult in a big gain with the juniorback having wide-open runningroom. But the pitch hit McDavid inthe numbers and fell to the turf andthe recovery by Tech ended thegame.
“I didn’t appreciate the way heplayed today,” Spoo said of
McDavid. “He didn’t run as tough ashe has in the past.”
And Spoo didn’t feel thereceivers played very tough either.The Panther speedsters dropped sev-eral passes on the afternoon. WillBumphus dropped a pass that costEastern a crucial first down late inthe first half and split-end PaulMassat dropped a ball that appearedto hit him in the face mask anddeflected for a Tech interception.Tight end Nathan Kreke alsodropped a pass in the endzone late inthe first half, which was followed bya missed 30-yard field goal attempt.
“When you can’t catch the ball ina crowd, and you drop balls like wedid it’s because you’re afraid to gethit,” Spoo said.
So, as has been the pattern so farthis year, the Panthers have shotthemselves in the foot – for the sev-enth time this season.
Now only one question remainsabout the future of Eastern’s season.
How many bullets will it takebefore this team finally pulls the trig-ger on its opponent and stops com-mitting suicide and starts winningfootball games?

SportsThe Daily Eastern News

October 25, 1999
Play nice boysEastern might have put more points on the
board if they could have just played nice. ThePanthers had three drives stopped because ofpersonal fouls and other penalties.
Despite only having one penalty in thesecond half, yellow flags littered the fieldagainst Eastern in the first half.
In total, the Panthers had nine penaltiescosting them 75 yards, including three per-sonal fouls.
“We don’t teach our players to do that,”Spoo said of the three deadball penalties. “Itis by the older guys that have been aroundand know better than to commit those penal-ties,” head coach Bob Spoo said. “That’s alack of discipline on individuals’ parts to getthose penalties.”
Eastern also had a costly block-in-the-back penalty that negated a 61-yard kick-offreturn that would have put the Panthers on theTech 40 yard line late in the fourth quarterwhen trailing 14-7. The offense was the mainculprit of the afternoon, being penalized sixtimes.
“It’s tough because most of the penaltiesfor us were on first down, so we had first andlong all day,” quarterback Anthony Buichsaid. “We have to play with our heads, wekilled ourselves with those penalties.”
That thing is slipperyThe Panthers also had problems catching
the ball. A drop by Will Bumphus costEastern a crucial first down late in the firsthalf. Another drop by Paul Massat turned intoan interception by Tennessee Tech’s TroyGrant and cost the Panthers the ball and aNathan Kreke drop cost Eastern a touch-down.
Butter fingersPanther tail back Jabarey McDavid had a
tough time hanging on to the ball. The juniorhad three fumbles on the day, two of whichwere recovered by Tech. One of those fum-bles came on a pitch that hit him right in thenumbers, which was recovered by the GoldenEagles, ending Eastern’s day.
Book endsThe Golden Eagles’ “book end” defensive
ends Brandon Vaughn and Jerry Turnerharassed Eastern quarterback Anthony Buichall day long. The two combined for five sacksand six tackles for a loss, costing Eastern 36yards.
The wind factorThe wind played havoc with special teams
all day. Eastern punter Bill Besenhofer cameinto the game averaging 41.3 yards per punt.On Saturday he averaged only 33.4 yards perpunt.
“Special teams played well today, but itwas real tough going into the wind,” Spoosaid.
Extra work pays offAfter sitting out a week with a bruised leg,
linebacker Gonzalo Segovia did extra condi-tioning sprints everyday after practice to pre-pare for this week’s game. Segovia, who suf-fers from asthma, said the conditioninghelped him finish with 12 tackles on theafternoon.
“I did some extra conditioning this week,and it helped me a lot,” Segovia said. “I usedto get real tired during games, but with theextra conditioning I didn’t feel as tired and itshowed.”
With the Panthers appearing tobe in control with a 7-0 leadheading into the fourth quar-ter, Saturday’s 14-7
Homecoming loss may have looked like alate collapse by the Eastern defense, but itwas truly a suicidal effort by the offense.
While the defense was somewhat incon-sistent, shutting the Golden Eagles out beforegiving up two touchdowns in the fourth quar-ter, the offense was consistent – consistentlyterrible.
The Eastern offense couldn’t seem to finda rhythm all afternoon and when it did, stupidpenalties cost the Panthers field position, forc-ing them into long yardage situations.
Although some of Eastern’s offensivestruggles can be attributed to the TennesseeTech defense, which entered Saturday’s gameranked second in Division I-AA in totaldefense, the Panthers had plenty of opportuni-ties to score. But, once again, the story behindthe loss was that Tennessee Tech didn’t winthe game, the Panthers lost it.
Head coach Bob Spoo doesn’t attribute theloss to a struggling defense late in the gameor an exceptional Golden Eagle defense, buthis offense’s inabiltiy to carry out the gameplan.
“I think it was a lack of execution, I reallydo,” Spoo said. “We had mishandled plays,fumbles, dropped balls and penalties, it wasjust piss-poor execution.”
In thefirst half, thePanthers costthemselvesseveralchances toscorebecause ofunnecessaryand costlypenalties.The penaltiesresulted inEasternbeing faced with first down and long yardagesituations.
“It’s tough because most of the penaltiesfor us were on first down, so we had first andlong all day,” quarterback Anthony Buichsaid.
“We killed ourselves today with too manydrops, fumbles and penalties.”
After driving down to the Tech 37-yardline on their second possession of the game,the Panthers cost themselves a golden oppor-tunity to score. A false-start penalty movedthe ball back to the Golden Eagle 42-yardline, bringing up first down and 15 yards togo.
After a 12-yard pass, a run for no gain anda sack, a personal foul penalty againstEastern’s offense brought up 4th down and 27from Eastern’s own 46.
That series of plays, highlighted by theoffense’s lack of discipline, might as wellhave been a turnover. Because after BillBesenhofer’s punt into a gusting wind wastaken as a fair catch, the Golden Eagles tookover on their own 32-yard line, just five yardsfrom Eastern looked like they were threaten-ing to score from.
“We teach our guys not to do that,” Spoosaid of the offense’s careless penalties. “Thatjust shows a lack of discipline on their part.”
But the penalties didn’t cost the Panthersjust one opportunity, it was a reoccurringtheme throughout the first half.
After a quarterback sack, Eastern wasfaced with second and 17 when a screen passto running back Jabarey McDavid wouldhave brought up a third and short situation.
But instead, another personal foul againstthe Panthers after the ball was dead forcedEastern into a third and 19 from Tech’s 42-yard line and another false start penaltyforced Besenhofer to punt again.
“There was the one play in particularwhere it would have been third down close tothe red zone, but instead we were 20 yardsback,” Buich said of that series of plays. “Wehave to play with our heads, we killed our-selves with those penalties.”
Late in the first quarter a false start forcedEastern into another first and long situation.

Sudden Death
Anthony BraviereStaff writer
Coming off a disappointinglast minute loss to MurrayState, Eastern was looking to
r e b o u n dwith a wina g a i n s tTennesseeTech onSaturday.
Homecoming wasn’t kindto the Panthers though, as theyfell to the Golden Eagles in adefensive battle 14-7.
In the second half, theGolden Eagles scored 14unanswered points in an 11:27
second span, starting with atouchdown pass from quarter-back Grant Swallows to CraigMelton to make the score 7-7.
