Student Senate will consider fee increases

By Christine Demma Student govemment edttor

The Student Senate tonight will discuss fee increases for tuition, textbook rental and the shuttle bus.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m in the Arcolaffuscola Room on the third floor of the Mrutin Luther King Jr. University Union.

The Tuition and Fee Review Collllllittee willrec­Ollllllend the three fee increases to the Student Senate, said Adrun Weyhaupt, speaker of the Student Senate.

Monday, the collllllittee approved recollllllending raising tuition by 3 percent; increasing the textbook rental fee by a $15 flat fee, totaling the fee to $93; and raising the shuttle bus fee by $3.1 0, totaling the fee to $5.60.

The Student Senate also will discuss a. resolution submitted for consideration by the Student Senate, Weyhaupt said.

Senate member Tiffanny Vandever submitted a. resolution stating senate members should be educat­ed about fees upon voting and that the Student Senate "votes on millions of dollru'S in fees before they have seen what will be done with the fee increase money."

Therefore, Vandever suggests when the Student Senate "passes fee increases for tnajor projects, they should first pass a preliminruy increase.

The preliminaty increase will provide enough money for the at'Chitects and other preconstruction planning to be accomplished," she said.

It fut1her states "\¥hen the plans are complete, the Student Senate should pass the rest of the increase for the construction project."

Eastern prepares for debut of online registration By Michelle Jones

campus editor

With the exception of one miss­ing feature, online registration will be the same as touchtone registra­tion, said Bill Witsman, acting director of Infmmation Systems.

"When you register for a course and the course is full ... touch tone gives some altematives," Witsman said. "Web registration does not."

The online registration system will wam students if a class is closed, if they have ah·eady taken the class and if it produces sched­ule conflicts, said Frank Hohengrut en, dean of emollment management.

Students can still inquire about a class, add or drop a. class and uti­lize the other features of touchtone registration online, said Kathy Reed, assistant director of Infonnation SystelllS.

However, students will not be given additional options for classes

that are already filled. "We had some difficulties mak­

ing that work with the Web," Witsman said.

"The nature of evety softv.•are is it's never going to fulfill every need," he said.

Building a software program requires people, time and resources, Witsman said.

"If we try to embellish it with evetything, we 'd literally never finish a. project," he said.

Witsman said if any issues sur­face, they are willing to look at the problem or question and see if they can overcome them. However, changes cannot always be made quickly, he said.

"If you were building a. house, you sit down with someone ... and decide where the roolllS are, the bathrooms are, the sinks are," Witsman said.

"If you continue that process after you statt building, the cost will be extraordinary."

Reed said she hopes the func­tion providing students with a list of altematives to a closed class will be available in the future. Organizers wanted to get the online registration system func­tioning as quickly as they could, she said.

Nevertheless, Reed said they did not rush the online registration project.

"Even if we didn't have quite as much functionality, it's still benefi­cial to the students," she said.

Witsman also said Information Systems is prepared to offer online registration. About 30 students tested the service, he said.

Registration still w ill be a familiar process to students, Hohengarten said.

"The only difference is that it's accessed on the Web, so it will be visible rather than auditory," Hohengarten said.

PAWS expected to be able to handle registration traffic

By Christine Demma Student government editor

The Panthet· Access to Web Setvices for online registration should not have any problelllS as it did during the surmner when stu­dents attempted to rett'ieve grades off of the system.

"To the best of our knowledge, we don't expect probletns," said Bill Witsman, acting director for Infonnation SystelllS.

All students had the capability to look at grades online, and with online registration, a select num­ber of people can registet· for class­es at a pruticular time, Witsman said.

During the SUllllllet', the PAWS

system received a high volUllle of calls to access grades online that caused problelllS with the softwru·e that was nmning on one of the web servet'S, Witsman said.

The calls wet-e tracked for a period of four days, estimating 11 ,000 calls, at which point a problem occun-ed.

The problem with the system was fixed that week, Witsman said.

WitSlllan said the best advice to students is to avoid using the sys­tem until it's their time, because there ru·e limits, j ust like the phone system.

When touchtone registration began, there was a. similru· problem with a high volUllle of students try­ing to registet·, Witsman said.

Shuttle bus fee gets mixed opinions

By Jamie Bolander Staff writer

The Tuition and Fee Review Committee approved increasing the shuttle bus fee Monday night and will make that recommenda­tion to the Student Senate at its meeting Wednesday night.

An increase of $3.10 was sug­gested by the conunittee to bring the entire fee up to $5.60. The increase will fund t\¥o shuttle buses that will travel around cam­pus, to the Square and possibly to the Amtrak station and Showplace Eight Cinema in Mattoon.

Many students do not feel that the increase is needed due to the low number of riders.

"I do not agree with getting a second bus because the first bus is not being utilized," said Darci Alcom, a. senior early childhood education major. "When I see the bus traveling around town I usual­ly only see one or two riders."

Students who do ride the bus also noticed there were not many riders.

"Maybe I do not ride the bus at the right time, but when I have there are usually only a few other riders," said Amanda Taylor, a junior political science major. "I don't think we need a. second bus because from what I have seen there are not enough riders to implement another one."

Shonna. Bercaw, Tiffany Ruse, and Ellie Williams all feel the bus fee is a. waste of their money since they all have cars and have to pay the $150 underclassmen fee to have their cars on campus already.

"We think they should have a bus pass for transpmtation," said

Williams, a freshman pre-engi­neering major. "Since we ha:ve to pay a. parking pass fee, the stu­dents who do use the bus could pay a bus pass fee to use each sernester."

"This would allow for the fees to be paid for the bus by the people who are actually using it just as the students who have cars pay for the fee to park them," Williams added.

One student who rode the bus felt the second bus may need to be added to keep the bus r1UUling on time.

"I attend karate class on the square and I ride the Panther bus to get there," said Kelly Craft, a sophomore family and consumer science major. "The last t\¥o times I went the bus never showed up to pick me up and I had to walk back to campus."

Craft waited at least a. half an hour for the bus to anive each time. Craft said the bus stop sign indicates the bus will be there at 7:50p.m. on the first occasion and when she finally left around 8:20 p.m., she walked the route the bus usuaUy takes.

"The bus was nowhere to be found," said Craft. "So the next time I rode I asked the driver and he told me the bus would be back at 8:05p.m."

On this occasion Craft waited until 8:30 p.m. and walked home again. Craft believes a. second bus could be the solution to the prob­lem of the late buses.

Most students also felt that even if there is not a. new bus that the old bus should go to the new Wa.l-Mart Supercenter, the Showplace Eight Cinema., and the Amtrak station in Mattoon.

Jewish New Year brings services By Jennifer Kunkel

Staff writer

The holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is rapidly approaching, beginning at sundov.'Il Friday and ending at sundown Saturday.

' 'All Jewish days begin at sun­dov.'Il and end at sundown the next day," said Carl Lebovitz, vice presi­dent of administration of the Mattoon Jewish community center.

Rosh Hashanah begins the 10 Days of Awe. These are days of

"repentance, introspection and fast­ing," Lebovitz said. The days lead up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is concluded with a. religious service.

' 'You have services at the syna­gogue or temple," Lebovitz said.

Students interested in attending these services can go to the Mattoon Jewish Community Center, 1608 Richmond Ave., across fi·om the YMCA.

A student rabb~ David Locketz., has been brought in from the Hebrew Union College in

Cincinnati, Ohio to conduct the ser­vices, Lebovitz said.

There are no temples or syna­gogues in Charleston, but Lebovitz encouraged Eastem students to attend the services in Mattoon.

The schedule services are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday for the eve of Rosh Hashanah and 10 a.m. Saturday for Rosh Hashanah. Serv ices will also be held at 7:30p.m. on Oct. 8 for the eve ofYom Kippur and 10 a.m. on Oct. 9 for Yom Kippur~ with chil­dren's serv ices at 1 p.m. and Yrzkor and Neilah serv ices at 5 p.m.

Bus increase not needed

A service that few students benefit from and that is essentially not necessa1y on Eastern's campus, shouldn' t be funded with students' money.

The Panther Express shuttle bus service is umeliable and remains empty at most times throughout the day.

The Tuition and Fee Review committee of the Student Senate Monday voted to more than double the current shuttle bus fee. The committee approved a $3.10 increase, bringing the fee up to $5.60. The pro­posed increase will be sent on to the Student Senate for approval.

The fee will be imposed beginning in the spring of 2001 if approved. Along with the increase, the Tuition and Fee Review collllllittee approved a sunset clause on the fee, stating the entire $5.60 fee would expire in May 2004.

Currently, students pay $2.50 each semester for the shuttle bus. Eastern's Board of Tmstees recently sent out an invitation for bids for operation of the shuttle

bus. The proposal includ-Expensive ride ed specifications and con-The Student Senate should not ditions including: having approve the raise in the shuttle t\¥o buses, accollllllodating bus fee, which was passed by a minimum of 22 passen-the Tuition and Fee Review gers and being a 1995 Committee. model or newer.

Although senate members have taken statistics on the average number of riders per week no stats have been taken recently and it appears that they would be low when the bus circles campus empty on a daily basis.

The size of Eastern's campus makes the Panther Express illogical. Students can walk the perimeter of the campus in 20 minutes, which is less time than they'll spend waiting for the bus.

When the bus first came to campus, signs were post­ed showing the schedule and route. The routes and signs are outdated and of little use to students.

The Campus Master Plan calls for the closing of Seventh Street to traffic. Students on foot will be able to cross Seventh Street while the Panther Express, along with other vehicular traffic, takes a detour down Ninth Street.

The Student Senate should not approve the proposed increase and consider eliminating the service. While these increases do not seem like much one at a time, they quickly add up and become a burden to students.

EAStefLttews "Tell the truth and don't be afraid."

We're not ready for online registration

Just when I thought nothing else at Eastem could possi­bly be under construction, I found one more thing.

When I looked at the Web site for online registration the other day, I was greeted by two words that are becoming more and more familiar. I see these words eve~ywhere I go, whether I'm driving around Charleston or walking around campus. The site says "Under construction."

Amylhon News editor

((There is only one problem with this plan - Eastern is not quite ready for online registration:'

In May, when the new PAWS system was unveiled, thousands of students got online to check their grades before their report cards were sent home. What happened? The system c1ashed and was not available at all for seve1al days. How do we know the online registration system will not c1ash Oct. 9?

In a week and a half the site supposedly will be available for students to begin online registration for the first time. The idea is one that Eastem administr-ator's have been work­ing on for some time, but this spring is the first time stu­dents can access it.

If the system crashes while registering for classes it would be a much larger problem than

simply having to wait a few extra days to check g1ades. Also, the online system will not have as many features as touchtone registration. The system cannot suggest other sec­tions of a course that will fit into the student's schedule if the first choice is closed.

The system will be available through the PAWS system that was lannched last spring, allowing students to check glades online. Online registration will work essentially the same way as touchtone. Students will register by classifica­tion using their social security number.

Although it will eventually be a good idea to have the entire system online, saving invaluable amounts of paper, Eastem is not at the point where eve1y student can conve­niently use these Intemet for these tasks.

Not eve1y student has a computer in his or her residence hall room. And, for those of us living off campus, it is virtu­ally impossible to get connected to Eastem's se~ver except at midnight on Sundays when the~·e 's a full moon.

Registration can still be blocked online if students have not paid their advance deposit, or if they have other prob­lems with their accounts. Up to 50 students can register online at one time. When Oct. 9 rolls around I will register for classes for

the last time. Since the spring semester is my last semester, I'm not going to bothe~· trying out the new online system. I think I'll stick with touchtone for my farewell tour of Eastem's registr·ation system.

Also, official schedules will not be distr-ibuted at the beginning of the semeste~·. Students will print them off the PAWS system.

For now, students have a choice - touchtone or online registr-ation. Eventually, they won't. Afterall, I don't want to miss out on hem'ing the words:

"Hello and welcome to Touchtone Registration" for the ve~y last time.

Within a few semesters, touch-tone registration will be eliminated and eventually the paper class bulletins also may be replaced with an online ve~·sion. Students will then do everything involved with class registration online. • Amy Then is a senior journalism major and a bi-monthly

columnist for The Daily Eastern News. Her e-mail address is cualt2@pen.eiu.edu Columns are the opinion of the author.

There is only one problem with this plan - Eastem is not quite ready for online registr·ation.

Panthe~· Mm'Ching Band (yes, that's om· title, as opposed to "the Easte~n march­ing band"). It's time for you to know what we do.

The Panthe~· Marching Band meets six hom'S a week and emns one hour of c1-edit. It is not a 1-equired class; we ai-e

the~-e because we like to pe1f01m. We lemn one pre-gmne show and two half­time shows. This includes meiUorizing diffe~-ent paths to diffe~-ent spots on the field, mem011zing ten to 15 pages of music per gmne, and playing approxi­mately ten pieces of music in the stadi­um throughout the gmne.

As fur as technique is concemed, we do not simply walk across the field and expect shapes to form Precision and accmacy m-e required: 22.5 inch steps, eight steps pe~· yardline and balance of

sound while moving and playing. The tr'ick to success, as with any great pe~for­mance, is for the pe1f01mance to appem· as though it took no eff01t at all. I mn content with this aspect, as long as the pe~fonnance is respected and appreciat­ed. I encourage each of you, as students and fuculty, to respect and appreciate what the Panther Mm·ching Band is and does.

In response to Anthony Bravie~-e 's ' 'Bass Ac.kv.rm·ds" comment from the Sept. 11 Spo1ts Section of the DEN, the PMB has a yem-s-long tradition of pe~·­fomling its pregmne show dm'ing half­time for the first game of the season. I admit that I was a little SUipl'ised by Mr. Smith's cue to play "1he Stm· Spangled Banne~·" dm'ing halftime, but then again, when did we, as spo1ts funs, become too uptight to pay respect to our country tv.rice in one evening?

They used to laugh at their parents' old clothes; now college students all over are seeking them out for price and style

By Julie Bartlow Features editor

Tired of your boring, drab wardrobe? Do you find yourself always shopping for something different and unusual? Do you never have the time and

money to go out and buy new clothes? If you answered 'yes' to any of the above ques­

tions, you just might want to give shopping at thrift and resale stores a try.

Thrift stores and resale shops are stores that sell quality used items

for a lower price than regular shopping centers. Don't worry about having to tr·avel miles away in search of a nice

thrift store, for there are a couple right at your fingertips in

Charleston. "There's evetything from up to date

stuff to vintage to 60s and 70s clothing," said Rinda Spence, owner of Just Spence's, a /esale and vintage shop, located at 1148 on

Sixth Str·eet. "You can also find shoes, jewel-lY and little knickknack items here. There's

five rooms of clothing .. . I think anyone will find it pretty neat!

Shopping at thrift stores can save a bundle of money, too. "You can buy a whole outfit here for under 10

ollars," said Carolyn Wells, the director and presi­ent of The Depot, a thrift and outr·each shop, located

on the comer of Eighth Str·eet and Jackson Avenue on the square "You can find eve1ything that one might possibly wear and more from here."

Spence said that at Just Spence's everyday is a sale day. "We're pretty negotiable," she said. "We even have a

layav.ray program if you find something you really like, but don't have the money right on hand."

Right now, the most popular items students and people are buying at thrift shops are old­new T-shll1s and jeans, Spence and Wells agreed.

Old-new T-shirts are used T-shll1s sold for a chaper price and are new

to the buyer. "The funky T-shll1s

seem to be selling well," she said. "Students like

to come in here and also buy polyester

and leisure suits for

parties and ce11ain occasions." "People like to buy jeans here (at The

Depot)," Wells said. "We have them in so many brands, col-ors and sizes."

Wells said The Depot is organized into sections so you can easily locate what you are looking for.

"We have kids' clqthes, men's, women's, sweats, coats, shoes, suits, 60s, 70s and 80s function type of clothing and so much more," she said. ''1bere's a lot of stuff cranuned all into this one small space."

Several students sai1 reasons why they shop at thrift stores are becaust the stores are cheap and supply different typF of clo1hing they can't find anyv.•here else.

"It's cheaper to sh~ at resale stores," said Cori Feueroacher, a senior health studies mf)or.

"You can find fun things that you can't anyv.•here else. I love looking for dif­ferent T-shll1s."

Senior Liza Ruffalo said the vintage trend is making a comeback.

"More people are buying stuff at thrift stores because they're different ... they're not like mall stores," she said.

" (Vintage shopping) was big years ago and now it 's becoming more steady again."

Angela Savegnago, a junior fmance major who works at Just Spence's, agrees with Ruffalo and said she is beginning to see more people who are wearing vintage clothes.

"I definitely think vintage and resale cloth-ing is coming back .. . especially the 70s and 80s clothing," Savegnago said.

Savegnago, who has been working at Just Spence's since last Fel:!ruary, said the entire Just Spence's store is uniqlle because it pro-vides items that can' t be fmmd in a regular clothing store.

"There's anything d everything here," she said.

Any and eve1y type f person can be found at thrift and resale stores, Spence said.

"I have so many different friends and cus­tomers who come (to Just Spence's)," she said.

"One of my customers is a biker chick who wears leather ... it's amazing all of the people I'll see in here."

If shopping at thrift stores just isn't your thing, don' t

ony , there's still a place for

the of

just any thrift

store you visit, you can donate old or

wanted clothes and items.

"We accept dona-tions anytime," iWells said.

"What does­' t get bought

gets reprocessed

Julie Bartlow I Staff photographer John Chamness, a sophomore history major, Sandy Dendor, a sophomore computer man­agement major, Jon Hallett, a senior AIS major and Linda Spence, owner of Just Spence's resale shop in Charleston, play dress-up for a day with some items that are for sale at the shop.

into other uses for finniture or to lnake rugs. Shopping here helps keep my doors open and helps others, too, who aren't as fortu­nate to afford to buy

lothes."

Governor looks to boost trade, improve relations with Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP)- Illinois Gov. George H. Ryan said Tuesday he expected to boost fuendly rela­tions and an already booming trade relationship with Mexico after me.eting with the cotutlly's presi­dent-elect.

Ryan, who met with Vicente Fox for more than an hour, told repotters that he considers the new opposition leader "a business presi­denf' who is detennined to increase trade and investments in Mexico and raise the standard of living for

Mexicans. Fox, the first chief executive

from an opposition political patty in 71 years, takes office Dec. 1.

Ryan is on a two-day lli.p south of the border aimed at strengthen­ing Illinois' ties with Mexico, the state's second-biggest trading patt­ner.

The governor said the N01th Americatl Free Trade Agreement atnong Canada, Mexico and the United States "has been a great suc­cess."

Trade has boomed among the three countries since the agreement went into effect on Jan. 1, 1994.

Under the agreement, Illinois' exp011s to Mexico have more than doubled fi:om $1.6 billion in 1995 to $3.6 billion in 1999, Ryan said. Mexico's expotts to the state were about the same dtu1ng those years, he added.

Goods bought and sold include indusllial and agricultural machinery, cattle. electronic and food-processing equipment. grains and foodstuffs.

Doctors push for increase in amount of money spent on smoking prevention

CHICAGO (AP) - Health advocates urged Gov. George Ryan to dramatically increase the atnount of money spent on smok­ing prevention next year, saying the decision to use the bulk of this yeru· 's share of a national tobacco lawsuit settlement on a propetty­tax rebate was in·esponsible.

"The use of this precious tobacco settlement money for any other cause than smoking cessa­tion or other health purposes is a travesty," said Dr. Quentin D. Yotmg, chairman of the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group. "Tllis windfall was based

ladies Night By Kristin Rojek

Sports editor

The women 's soccer team faces more competition from the Missouri Valley Conference today, as Southwest Missouri brings in a deceptive record with a solid team.

The Bears ( 4-7) take on the Panthers (8-2, 1-0) after their 3-0 shutout against Ohio Valley Conference rival Southeast Missouri Friday.

"I know Rob (Brewer) well and they have a good team," head coach Steve Ballard said of SWMO's head coach. "They have snuggled early, but they are a good team."

Although Southwest Missomi has another week before heading into MVC play, it is on the rebound from last year, falling second to the University of Evansville in the MVC champi­onship game last season.

"Southwest Missouri is very similar to Evansville in that they come at you vety hard," Ballard said.

"They play vety direct and it's a matter of how we will handle them as individuals and as a te.am."

Evansville is a common foe for both Eastem and Southwest Missomi, as the Purple Aces snapped Eastem's seven-game winning streak with a 3-0 shutout last week.

Eastem bounced back from the Evansville loss to take Oral Roberts 1-0 Sunday. That shutout put the Panthers' total shutout games for the season at six, just two under Eastem's school record of seven, set in 1996.

Southwest Missomi didn't have similar luck against Oral Roberts, falling 2-1 in their fourth game of the season.

Although Eastem took the win over Oral Roberts, the Panthers found themselves in many poor situations, as Oral Robetis outshot Eastem 24-15.

"We need to put that game behind us and relax at practice," Ballard said. "We've played indoors earlier this week with the weather, so we were able to have a

"With as much as we've been on the road, it's nice to be home," Ballard said.

"We need to get people out there because we need the support of the Eastem students."

Two cross country runners earn OVC honors this week Biakla, Martin take Runner of the Week after EIU Open wins

By Kristin Rojek Sports editor

Eastem swept the men 's and women's Ohio Valley Conference Rllllller of the Week titles after the cross country teams took the men's and women 's division titles at the EIU Open Saturday.

Junior Jason Bialka reclaims his Rllllller of the Week honor for the second time this season after his individual title at the EIU Open Saturday.

He is joined by Eastem team­mate junior Beth Mattin, who cap­tured the women's individual col­legiate title Saturday on Eastem's home course.

"You never know how things

are going to stack up, so we take it in stride, but never take advantage of it," men 's and women 's head coach John Mclnemey said.

"It's something they chase as individuals and I'm excited for both of them."

Bialka eamed his first honor after breaking the course record at Detv.•eiller Park in the Bradley Invitational Sept. 8. This weekend, Bialka took the first place finish by 24 seconds despite a sore hip, with a time of25 :39 in the 8,000-meter home course.

"The past few years he hasn 't been a top guy because Eastem Kentucky has had solid guys up there," Mclnemey said.

"He's head and shoulders above

in conference now and he's pretty well-known around the league."

Although Mattin placed second in the EIU Open to an unattached nmner, Martin was able to capture the collegiate win with a time of 18:25 on the 5,000-meter Panther course.

"This is Beth's first (honor), so that's neat for her," Mclnemey said. "I'm very happy for her."

Not only did Martin's time win her the invitational, but also set herself a new cat·eer best in the 11-teatn event.

While the women have the weekend off from competition, the men will head to Nmt hem Iowa for a pre-regional meet with Nmt hem Iowa and Iowa State .

---------------------------Men's soccer team remains undefeated

Matt Sophomore E.ric Diaz carries the ball dow~ th~ field Tuesday du.ring Eastern's home game shut out against Loyola 2-0. Eastern rema1ns undefeated at 6-0-1 head1ng 1nto the start of Missouri Valley Conference play Friday.

OVC expansion spells doom 0 n a late Friday night you

and a buddy are sitting at d1e bar ttying to figtu·e out

d1e plans for Sanu·day, when you decide to make a mad tt'ip to see Eastem's football terun.

You take out yow· hru1dy Eastem athletic pocket schedule to see fuat the Prutdtets, who at d1e time are leading the Ohio Valley cmuerence widt a 5-0 record ru1d a 8-0 oYerall record, are traveling to take on OVC foe and powethotJSe Jacksomille State.

A chill goes down your spine as you say "What? We play Jacksomille State? Where is fuat?"

1ben, when you find out fuat it's over 500-miles away and an estinlated 9-hour drive. you decide you would rafuer go to bed and with your sleep, anofue:r oppottu­nity for school spirit is lost wifu your decision.

Well, even fuough it has not happened yet, dlis sce11a1'io could happen in d1e neru· fitnu-e as d1e d1e buzz going ru·ow1d fue OVC sp01ts world is fue idea d1at fue Ohio Valley Cotlference might add two new members to d1e cotlference ovet· d1e next couple of yerus.

The two teams considered are Jacksonville State and Srunford which bodt reside in fue soufuetn state of Alabama.

TI1e decision is coming aftet· the OVC lost Middle Tennessee and Westem Kentucky over fue past few years. fuus lea\ing fue OVC wifu only seven football teams and nine teams for ofuer c01uerence sports.

Slap Shot

Troy Hinkel Staff writer e-mail: EIUSPORTO@hotmail.com

So is fue idea of adding these teams good for the conference? Well, fue answer to fuat is simple. and fuat answer is yes.

The OVC needs more teams to haYe better competition among dte sports, and the two teams we would be bringing in are not no­named universities.

Srunford has already played Tennessee-Mrutin and Murray State in football fuis season because they are currently listed as independent

The choice for both teruns would be good for the OVC and lllallY of fue incumbent teams, but would it really be good for Eastem?

In fuis writer's opinion, I would say no. We are already in a confer­ence that, under different circmn­stance, we would not be in since the majority of fue OVC teams are spread throughout Kentucky and Tennessee.

The only two teams not in fuat area are Eastem and Soufueast Missouri State, which is o\'er two hours south ofEastem.

Could you imagine as an ath­lete, having to travel on a weekend road trip to Alabruna to play?

The chive in itself would make the players tired and sluggish and their petfonnance would be hin­dered.

What about some of the pru·­ents rutd funs fuat follow fue team? Would they still go?

I remember last season driving almost 5 hours to an OVC tomna­ment game in which Eastem's women's basketball team Vl'as

playing. Tile Prulfue:r fun total including

dte people I traYeled wifu and the people who drove separate from the b..JS. I think possibly totalled 10.

Add four hotU'S on fuat trip and d1ere would probably only be furee or four people to go to the grunes. Heck of a way to represent om· college, don' t you dlink?

Anyway, if the OVC does expand, I think it spells domn for Eastem in the conference.

Give us five yerus and we will be looking for anod1er conference, like maybe the Missow'i Valley Conference, or maybe we can get into the Big Ten. Yeah, right.

Anyway, maybe ten yerus from now you a11d your buddy finally decide to go to rutofuer Eastem game. and you come back for Homecoming to see fuat fue team we are playing is fue Southem Utah Tilw1derl>irds in a conference furiller.

Wouldn't fuat be a great confer­ence grune?

Eastem's starting sweeper, Devin Rensing, watched Tuesday's game from the bench because of an injury. leaYing senior co-captain Scott Anderson in charge of controlling d1e Panther defense.

"Coach told me I'd be playing sweeper right when we got in d1e locker room," Anderson said. "(Howruth) told me Devin was only about 80 percent, so I knew I had to be ready right from d1e strut."

Despite the uneasy footing on the field, Eastem's defense was vety solid, helping to assist goalie Ryan Waguespack gain his lOth career shutout

"It took about 20 minutes for (Eastem's defense) to get really com­fmtable," Anderson said "TI1e marlc­ing backs (Ryrut Hunt, Bobby Ewan and Kurtis Schart) made it a lot easi­er for me back fuere."

The defense had all the suppott they would need in fue 22nd minute of play when senior fmward Casey

McConnac notched his fowth goal of fue yeru·. McCotmac gafuered a rebound off of a shot by Jason Thompson, ru1d poked it away to give Eastetu a 1-Q lead.

"Casey's goal coulch1't have come at a better tin1e for tiS," Howruth said. "After we scored, we wet-e able to dominate fue rest of fue half"

Eastem received the insurance goal it was looking for when substi­tute De:n'ick Peny scored his third goal of fue year.

"We crune out flat the first 10 to 15 minutes of d1e fust half;" Anderson said. "We've l1ad a pmblem coming out slow at half; but once we settled down we wet-e fine."

The Prutfuers were able to relax dlanks to Waguespack's seven saves and fue sure-footed play of Anderson.

"Scotty (Anderson) played great," Waguespack said ' 'In conditions like fuis. you need someone who's going to be able to clear the ball out, and fuat's what he did"

Volleyball team wins marathon Eastern defeats IUPUI in four games

By Troy Hinkel Staff writer

Eastern's volleyball team fought through a sluggish start to win a tough four-grune match vers­es Indiana University-Purdue University at India11apolis Tuesday night 12-15, 15-5, 15-7, 18-16.

The marathon match. which lasted over two hotU'S. saw dte Panthers (7-4) set records for assists at 89 and total attack attempts at 271.

Part of the reason for the records and the total time of the match was the defensive prowess of the Jaguars, who finished the game with 120 digs despite the loss.

"When a team digs like they dug tonight, it cru1 be frustrating since we hit the ball ru1d hit the ball and they just keep bringing it back up," head coach Brenda Winkeler said.

Eastem, who had not played since last Wednesday, started the first grune sluggishly, as they had problems with service errors and attacking errors which helped lead to the loss.

In the second ga111e. the Panthers crune out swincin2 as they took back control of dt~ ~tch from the Jaguars.

"OlU' improved hitting percent­age was a big reason we changed

from game one to grune two," Wi.nkeler said. "We also had more patience on offense."

Much like the second grune, the Panthers rolled through the third game led by the domination of the middle hitters.

The fourth match was a differ­ent story. howeYer, as the Jaguars receiYed new life from their bench as TIJPUI put had six non-struters for much the fourth grune.

The result was a 40 minute game fotll' that saw the lead switch back and forth until finally the Panthers put it away on a kill by Karen Liss.

"I told the girls aftet· the first grune dtat they had to put in two and a half how·s wotth of effort. in tonight for the win and they did it," Witlkeler said. "It took a lot of hard work and patience."

The Prutfuers were led by Leslie Przekwas, who finished with a career high 28 digs, two solo blocks rutd eight assisted blocks, and Amy Heimann, who finished with a grune-high 27 kills as she also added 15 kills.

Leading the record grune for the Panthers on the setting end were Rebecca Ooyen. who finished with 39 sets. and Genevieve Ramos who finished with 38 sets.

The Panthers will next be in action on Friday as they face AtJStin Peay at 7 p.m.
