By Bob GaluskiNews Editor@DEN_News

Beginning in the fall of 2012, a two-year ac-creditation process came to full steam Wednes-day and will be continuing for most of the school year.

An accreditation for Eastern is a quality check for the university.

Eastern’s steering committee, which oversees the process, has two chairs: Bob Augustine, the dean of the graduate school and Jeff Stowell, a psychology professor.

The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools is accrediting Eastern.

Augustine said the process is a two-year work-in-progress and is constantly being worked on throughout the year.

“The infrastructure of it began last fall,” he said.

Augustine said the accreditation looks at the progress Eastern has made since the last time the university was accredited.

“We also want to make sure the campus is informed about what we’re doing,” Augustine said.

Even though the process has already started, Augustine said Eastern community members could contribute by coming to a First Friday seminar, which are checkpoints for the steering committee.

The First Friday seminars are at 7:30 a.m. in the Loft of the Martin Luther King Jr. Univer-sity Union.

At each of the First Friday seminars, mem-bers of the steering committee will be presenting their section of the criterion.

The criterion is split up into five different sec-tions.

The Mission criterion consists of explaining Eastern’s mission and making sure the public knows it.

The Integrity criterion deals with the ethics of the university.

The Teaching and Learning: Quality, Re-sources and Support criterion works with the quality of the education offered to students.

The criterion Teaching and Learning: Evalua-tion and Improvement deals with how the insti-tution handles the responsibility of its education quality and how effective the learning process is.

Finally, the Resources, Planning and Institu-tional Effectiveness criterion sums up how East-ern is able to plan for the future with the quality of education it has, along with Eastern’s mission.

Augustine said anybody who wants to come to the First Friday seminars are welcome.

Augustine also said the criteria are available online on Eastern’s website.

“Each First Friday we report out what we’re doing,” he said.

He also said each report is a draft of what is happening and how the specific criterion is be-ing handled, and they are looking for input from Eastern members.

Students and faculty will have the chance to bring forth any issues that they may have and address them with President Bill Perry on a per-sonal level while also enjoying pizza on Wednesday.

Pizza with the Prez will be from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday in the South Quad.

Kathryn English, the student vice president of academic affairs, said the event allows students and facul-ty the opportunity to meet with Per-ry in an informal setting.

English also said students and fac-ulty are urged to attend and enjoy themselves over some pizza, drinks and music.

There will also be games such as giant tic-tac-toe and giant checkers, English said.

She said the event is hosted by the Academic Affairs Committee and is funded by the student gov-ernment, making it free to all those who come.

“They are able to introduce them-selves to Perry and get his opinion on whatever (the students) bring up,” English said.

English said the event is an excit-ing and fun way for students who want to build a personal connection with Perry.

Student Body President Kaylia Eskew, a senior journalism major, said she encourages students to at-tend the Pizza with the Prez.

“(Perry) really wants to engage with the student body and hear what is on our mind,” Eskew said.

English said Pizza with the Prez”is a good way to become better associ-ated with Eastern.

“It’s a great way for him to build a bond with Eastern as well,” Eng-lish said.

Since starting five years ago, Pizza with the Prez has brought Perry’s at-tention to a number of different is-sues around campus, including get-

ting class packets charged to student accounts.

Student topics discussed on Jan-uary 2013 at Pizza with the Prez ranged from the new display boards around campus to financial aid con-cerns.

One topic that might be brought up on Wednesday is raising cam-pus attention to the university’s new Homework Heroes program.

The program was started by the University Dining and Housing Ser-

vices and provides students with vol-unteer tutors.

English said she wants to get stu-dents aware of the academic resourc-es they have available around cam-pus.

If students are unable to stay, English said students are encouraged to just stop through.

Students raise issues with Perry

New Student Programs members worked to make the first part of the year easier for students with Guide-book, a smartphone application, which informs people of talks and meetings that will take place at conferences and conventions.

Members of NSP used Guide-book as a tool for new students to find their way around the multi-tude of events for Prowl and the five weeks following.

Kimberlie Moock, the director of NSP, said the reason they started us-ing the application was because it seemed like a good way to be able to reach returning students as well as in-coming students in an affordable way.

After participating in a conference that used Guidebook, she said they were able to see how effective this type of tool is.

“It is flexible and works on a vari-ety of devices,” Moock said.

The app works on Windows, An-droid and iPhone smartphones, and there are currently 1,658 users with the application.

Moock said it cost $3,500 to be a

part of the Guidebook app.Guidebook charges for each event

that is posted on the app separately. After using Guidebook, NSP

members were also able to print less this year.

“Compared to what we were doing on the print end, it was a savings for

us,” Moock said.With Guidebook, Moock also said

it would give them the ability to up-date event dates, especially in cases of cancellations.

“Things like that would hap-pen in the printed booklet, and we didn’t have the ability to update that,” Moock said.

Most of the programs, meetings and celebrations scheduled in Guide-book never changed.

This was not the case for every-thing that was scheduled though.

Some meetings, like the Student Senate first meeting date, were not updated.

The first student senate meeting will actually take place at 7 p.m. on

Wednesday in the Arcola-Tuscola room.

Student body president Kaylia Es-kew said it was a miscommunication between student government and new student programs.

“We traditionally have Student Senate in the second week of the fall

semester,” Eskew said. Eskew said a good portion

of the senate members gradu-ated last year, and they wanted more time to get all of the sen-ate seats figured out, so they

pushed it back a week. Moock said they were not notified

to remove it from the guide.Jody Stone, the Associate Direc-

tor of Housing and Dining Residence Life, said he found knowing the schedule from the app for Prowl on his smartphone was very convenient.

He said he hopes to use it for RHA training or something like that in the future.

NSP members plan to use Guide-book for Prowl next year as well from the response of those who have used it.

injury timeout

Fast Chat, a networking oppor-tunity for designers and artists, has been postponed until an undecid-ed date.

Robert Petersen, an art professor, and one of the organizers of Fast Chat, said the postponement was because of personal circumstances surrounding a few of the presenters.

“Personal emergencies prevent-ed several of key participants from being able to attend,” Petersen said. “We are working on resched-uling so that we can accommodate

changes in their availability.”Fast Chat is intended for artists,

designers, artisans and creators to meet, network and talk about their work in front of many different people.

During Fast Chat, a number of ar t i s t s and speakers will be in the Tarble Arts Cen-ter Atrium with their work on display.

Presenters will give a seven-minute presentation dis-cussing their work.

The presentation will be given through PechaKucha 20x20, a pro-gram that displays 20 images in 20

seconds. This style of presenting was used

last year for this particular event and will be used once again this year.

It keeps the presentations in a rapid pace and allows a number of pictures to be seen in a short amount of time.

Michael Watts, the director of

Tarble, said he recommends this program for anyone who is interest-ed in art or likes hearing artists ex-plain their work.

“My opinion is anyone who is cur ious about any or a l l of the topics to be covered should come,” Watts said. “You don’t have to be inter-ested in all of the present-ers – each presentation only lasts about seven minutes, so you don’t really have time to

be bored if there are one or two you don’t really care about.”

After all the presenters finish up, audience members will get a chance at the end to converse and talk one-

on-one with the artists. “Since the presentations are so

short, there is time after the formal program for people from the audi-ence to talk informally with whoev-er among the presenters you want to,” Watts said.

With the Fast Chat program be-ing postponed, Petersen said he is speaking with Watts about which days are open to continue the pro-gram.

As I walked home Friday afternoon, I crossed Lincoln Ave. as soon as my light turned green, giving me the go-ahead.

Fortunately, it was the afternoon, so I was fairly awake – awake enough to see a car flying down Lincoln, giving a sharp right turn and almost hit me.

In the driver’s hand was a cell phone. I could rally about texting and driving and

the dangers that particular area brings, but this incident got me thinking about personal responsibility.

Personal responsibility, in this self-centered time, has taken a severe nose-dive recently.

It can crop up at any time in any situation, from anything as small as not cleaning up individual messes, to neglecting this responsi-bility when getting behind the wheel of a car.

When people are asking for more likes on Facebook rather than actually going out to help somebody, that is indicitave of a bigger problem.

As somebody who also can be neglectful and forgetful of personal duties and what needs to be done, I know how hard it can be to stand up and do my part.

As college students, especially, this needs to be something that is remembered more and more.

Daunting and exciting as entering the real world after our tour at Eastern may be, it also comes with a whole slew of responsibilities.

Jobs, bills, homecare and everything in between may seem like a distant trouble, especially to freshmen, but it is something that should be in the back of your head.

It starts here and now. Take responsibility for your actions, and

what consequences may come of them now and you will settle into a routine. If people remem-bered how their activities could affect some-body – either positively or negatively – they may be tempted to continue or halt.

Looking at the bigger picture, it is necessary to know in the years following college; you will have so many opportunities. These are oppor-tunities for greatness – but can be squandered by not doing your specific duty.

It is easy to get lost in the hustle of individ-ual lives – worrying about the latest status get-ting liked on Facebook or finally reaching your 10,000th tweet on Twitter, but in the grand scheme of things, it is not all that important.

It really isn’t.But instead of focusing that energy on actu-

ally bettering the world, we have squandered it. Do not let these opportunities rush by because of a lack of personal responsibility.

With unnecessary violence, unnecessary malicious acts against fellow humans plaguing the world, maybe the world would be better off if people instead thought of others rather then themselves – even if it was something as small as putting away their cell phone when they went for a drive.

Thirty is the new 20, orange is the new black, and apparently September is the new July.

It’s hot out there, folks, very hot. This is the kind of heat that “Do the Right Thing” was filmed in.

The forecast for the rest of the week again has us in the 90s, so it’s important to stay cool in these warm weather weeks.

Obviously, you’re going to want to drink plenty of water. Keystone Light, despite what you may believe, does not hydrate you the same way that good old water does. Take a water bottle to class or keep one in your backpack when you need to make that drudged trek from Lawson to Old Main dur-ing the sun’s peak hours.

If you’ve already blown through your refund check and forgot to invest in an air conditioner, there’s still hope for you not melting.

Buy a cheap fan for your room. Wal-Mart is sure to have a wide variety of selections in sizes and prices.

If you’d like to get real adventurous, you could hang up all of your bedding in the coolest part of your house as soon as you wake up so that it can be exposed to the cool air. Then when you’re ready to hit the hay, they’ll be nice and cool, and you won’t be as miserable.

Dress for the occasion. Wear a hat and be sure to keep your neck covered. If you’re try-ing to work on your tan by sitting on the Doudna steps, make sure you wear sunscreen, so you don’t burn.

If you workout, try to aim for working out indoors unless you know you can bear the heat. If you haven’t been on a run all summer, now probably isn’t the best time to hit the Panther Trail. Take to the Student Recreation Center where you can find yourself a tread-mill or hit the track.

Who knows how long this heat will last. Maybe August-September-October is going to become the new June-July-August or may-be not and the sun gods just hate us. Whatev-er the reason, we’re just going to have to deal with it until we can hope for another snow day (fingers crossed!).

So, after class today, get yourself some ice cream or a frozen yogurt. It’s good for you,

Beat the heat in Charleston

Kyle Daubs

Once you get home from a night of par-tying, you really should give your parents a hug, and I’m not talking about mommy and daddy for the moment.

Take a look at your group of friends who you go out with for a moment and think. There is always that one person in the group who has the job of getting your drunk face home. I like to call them the “parents.”

This person would be me for my group of friends. For the most part, we “parents” are the most level-headed of the group. We know that walking away from a moron at a party is much more sensible than scissor kicking him in the face because your bed is comfier than a jail cell.

We do not take this job voluntarily. It is typically bestowed on us, but we take it any-way. Even if we throw a few back, we still have to be the ones to make sure everyone gets home safely.

I’m not complaining. I just feel that one friend in your group deserves a little bit of recognition. They are probably burn-ing twice as many brain cells with the alco-

hol, and processing possible escape routes if things go bad.

Most nights are not like that anyway. It’s usually not your friend that starts any-thing. If it’s not a moron ruining the night for everyone else, maybe it’s a night holding the hair back. Maybe, it’s a night of fireman style carrying you to your bed. There’s even a slight chance of running down the dude who stole your Taco Bell.

I believe my worst experience as a “par-ent” was in Panama City Beach this past spring break. My friend had drunk three-fourths of a handle of Admiral Nelson. It’s quite impressive really.

I fell asleep at 1 a.m. He and a group of

people came back to our hotel and woke me up. When they arrived, I wrote on a piece of paper what the heck is happening but not exactly in those words.

Eventually, my friend found it. He was mad that I wrote something about him, threatened to beat me up, yelled in my face, made me promise never to write about him again and made me apologize to the group. I apologized and slept outside that night.

The next morning, he heard what hap-pened, apologized and offered to be the des-ignated driver that night.

Moments when your friends realize they were a total jerk that night make being a “parent” awesome.

We do it because you are our closest friends, and you would jump through hoops for us if we needed you to.

Keep your “parents” close. They are your best friends for a reason.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 3, 2013 ThE DAilY EASTErn nEwS | SPORTS 7

By Michael Spencer@tmskeeperStaff reporter

The Eastern men’s soccer team will have to wait another week before it begins the 2013 season.

The first match of the year, scheduled for Friday against the University of Illinois-Chi-cago, was postponed because of thunder-storms in the area.

No makeup date has been set.The inclement weather will force the Pan-

thers to wait nearly two weeks between taking the field in an official match.

Their last outing was against Dayton in the final match of the preseason on Aug. 24, re-sulting in a 2-1 loss.

The stalled start to their season means that the Panthers are the only team in the Summit League that has yet to get their regular season campaign underway.

League favorite Denver has played twice

(1-1) along with Western Illinois (1-1), Fort Wayne (0-1-1) and Nebraska Omaha (0-2). Oral Roberts (0-1) and IUPUI (0-0-1) have also played a match apiece.

Eastern assistant coach Mark Hansen was excited to get the regular season started against UIC because of what he described as a matchup between two very similar teams.

However, the 13 days between matches will now give Eastern a chance to rehabili-tate a few injuries to players that head coach Adam Howarth said would likely appear in his first eleven.

“We are still missing some strong players in terms of injuries,” Howarth said.

Having two weeks off will offer the team a chance to get healthy ahead of a busy week-end.

The squad will travel to Dayton, Ohio Friday for a tournament hosted by Dayton.

The tournament will force Eastern team to play two matches over the course of three days against Liscomb University and North-

ern Kentucky University.Howarth said before the preseason that the

upcoming competition is meant to serve as a simulation of the Summit League postseason tournament that also requires teams to play matches in quick succession.

Additionally, the competition will high-light the Panthers’ depth — an aspect of the team that players and coaches alike have em-phasized in the early stages of the season.

Eastern is scheduled to play Lipscomb in the first matchup of the Dayton tournament at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 6, followed by a match 11 p.m. Sept. 8 with Northern Kentucky.

The team will return home for the 50th anniversary tournament hosted Aug. 13-15 at Lakeside Field.

The Eastern rugby team lost its first match of the season 65-7 to Quinnipiac Saturday at Lakeside Field.

The 58-point loss by the Panthers marks the largest margin of defeat in school history.

It was the fifth time that Eastern played Quinnipiac with both schools being Division I programs.

Though this particular game lacked the usu-al competitive edge on the scoreboard, Quin-nipiac coach Becky Carlson said the victory did not come easy.

“The QU vs. EIU rivalry is always expect-ed to bring some good rugby,” she said. “We played several combinations of offense against the Panthers and not once did EIU let up on us which is always a factor in NCAA Rugby.”

After a scoreless 10 minutes of play, Bobcats scored 38 unanswered points as they defeated the Eastern Illinois Panthers 65-7 Saturday at Lakeside Field.

Graziano said everything that they hoped for had started to fall into place for the first five minutes.

Twenty-five yards away from scoring, the Panthers had a turnover that Quinnipi-ac would take advantage of for the rest of the game, Graziano said.

“We were completely out of position,” he said. “We had to go from offense to defense immediately. That was too much for our new-comers to understand. They just started run-ning down the field and made us more out of position.”

The Bobcats, now 1-0 on the season, were led by sophomore Natalie Kosko who recorded four tries which matched her career high.

Quinnipiac got off to an early 10-0 lead as Kosko and Elisa Cuellar brought the ball down the field, recording back-to-back tries for the Bobcats.

The Panthers’ red-shirt freshman Miranda Hankins broke the shutout mid-way through the first half and sophomore Hannah Vieth added the two-point conversion, for the lone Panthers scoring play on the afternoon.

The Bobcats continued their offensive dom-inance by adding three more scores in the sec-ond half.

Graziano said Quinnipiac did not do any-thing different than they expected.

“They ran the ball when they had the op-portunity to run the ball and they recognized when we were defensively deficient some-where,” Graziano said. “They got some talent-ed players.”

Despite the Panthers loss, they edged the Bobcats 13-4 in scrums and 14-13 in line-outs.

This was only the second time since 2007 that Eastern found itself on the losing end of a 30-plus deficit.

The Panthers return home Saturday Sept. 7 to play a group of Wisconsin All-Stars at 1 p.m. at Lakeside Field.

Eastern lost to the Wisconsin All-Stars in a three-match set last season (5-17, 24-17, 0-32).

The Eastern women’s soccer team was handed a pair of 2-0 shutouts in this week-end’s Green Bay Phoenix Tournament, falling to both Northern Iowa and host Green Bay.

The Panthers are now 0-4-0 on the season under interim head coach Jason Cherry.

The Panthers took the field Friday against Northern Iowa, allowing two second half goals after holding the game scoreless for the first 71 minutes.

Freshman defender Mary Brandt headed the ball off an assist from sophomore mid-fielder Maggie Riley to give Northern Iowa its first goal of the game.

Northern Iowa would increase its lead just a few minutes later when senior Morgan Gal-lagher would score in the 81st minute off an assist from freshman Amber Nieland.

After saying the starting goalkeeper would be a game-time decision, Cherry opted to go with sophomore Cortney Jerzy.

The start was Jerzy’s first for the Panthers after transferring to Eastern from St. Xavi-er last spring. The Homer Glen native made four saves on the day.

Jerzy becomes the third different goalkeep-er to start a game for the Panthers this sea-son. Sophomore Emily Hinton started in the 5-1 loss against Oakland, while red-shirt freshman Kylie Morgan started in the 3-0 loss against Northern Illinois.

Nicole Postel recorded the win for North-ern Iowa.

Eastern freshman Madison Kloster had the team’s only shot on goal, as Northern Iowa outshot the Panthers 11-4. Northern Iowa also had 10 corner kicks in the contest com-pared to just one by Eastern.

The second match of the weekend also saw the Panthers hold their opponent scoreless through the first half.

The Phoenix would score their first goal of the game in the 63rd minute when junior midfielder Abby Juzwik shot from the top of the box. Juzwik was assisted by senior for-ward Helka Palmadottir and sophomore for-ward Heidi Hartmann.

Green Bay would add another goal just five minutes later when junior defender Jen-na Harrington would score on a header off a free kick.

Jerzy would again get the start for the Pan-thers, making her the first Eastern goalkeep-er this season to start consecutive matches. She made seven saves in the match. Green Bay goalkeeper Katy Pilarzyk started the first 62 minutes, but was later relieved by Nasta-cia Behle.

Eastern was outshot 19-3, with red-shirt freshman defender Paige DeThorne taking the only shot on goal for the Panthers.

Senior defender Caitlin Greene was named to the All-Tournament team. Green Bay’s Hannah Kernen was named tournament MVP.

Eastern will be on the road again this Fri-day, taking on Ball State at 6 p.m. in Mun-cie, Ind.

Panthers sweep weekly awardsby Aldo sotoAssistant Sports Editor@DEN_Sports

The Eastern football team scored five touchdowns on offense in its fifth win ever over an FBS oppo-nent in San Diego State.

Its defense both intercepted and sacked San Diego State quarterback Adam Dingwell four times.

And Eastern running back Shepa-rd Little trotted into the end zone for the Panthers’ first punt return touchdown since 2010.

The final 20 seconds ticked off the clock with the Eastern offense on the field, which rushed for 172 yards and threw for 361 more.

The clock struck zero; Eastern picked up the Ohio Valley Confer-ence’s second largest win against an FBS opponent, beating the Aztecs 40-19 Saturday night in Qualcomm Stadium.

The Panther defense surrendered three consecutive scoring drives to the Aztecs in the first quarter, but in the remaining three, San Diego State could only manage two field goals.

Eastern recovered one of San Di-ego State’s four fumbles to go along with the four interceptions, two of which came from OVC Defensive Player of the Week Alex McNulty.

McNulty was also named the National co-Defensive Player of the Week by the Sports Network, sharing the honor with Charleston Southern linebacker Calvin Bryant.

The red-shirt senior’s first inter-

ception came with under a minute remaining in the first quarter.

McNulty stepped in front of a Dingwell pass and gave Eastern the ball on the Aztecs’ side of the field with a 21-yard return.

Even after a Panther holding pen-alty on the return, the Panthers started their drive at the San Diego State 45-yard line.

Ea s t e rn quar t e rback Jimmy Garoppolo connected with fel-low senior Erik Lora for a four-yard touchdown. The duo’s second touchdown of the evening gave the Panthers a 13-7 lead. Lora finished with a game-high 10 catches for 87 yards.

Garoppolo threw his third touch-down pass to sophomore Keiondre Gober in the second quarter, which gave Eastern the halftime lead. The 62-yard touchdown was Eastern’s longest play of the game. Gober hauled in six catches for a game-high 140 yards.

Eastern’s offensive line made up of Nick Borre (center), Jimmy Low-ery and Dominic Pagliara (tack-les), Alex Pierce and Collin Seibert (guards) combined to win the OVC Offensive Player of the Week.

The award was given to a unit of players for the first time in the his-tory of the award.

Eastern ran the ball 19 times in the second half for 96 yards (5.1 av-erage). Panther running back Taylor Duncan took two of those 19 car-ries into the Aztec end zone.

His 45-yard burst through the San Diego State defense in the

fourth quarter capped off Eastern’s 21-point output in the final 30 minutes.

The offensive line aided the Pan-ther running backs to rush for 154 yards on 30 carries as Duncan fin-ished with 92 yards and Little with 62.

Garoppolo passed the ball 46 times but was not sacked by the Az-tecs.

He was knocked down once in the game and finished with 20 yards rushing on four carries.

The quarterback’s 361 passing yards ascended him to second in Eastern’s all-time passing yards lead-ers.

Garoppolo passed Tony Romo and is now 2,188 yards from tying Sean Payton for the school record.

Litt le swept the OVC week-ly awards for Eastern, winning the OVC Special Teams Player of the Week. His 60-yard punt return touchdown was the Panthers’ fifth punt return touchdown of at least 50 yards in the school’s history.

The 21-point win against San Diego State raised the Panthers in the FCS rankings, moving up seven spots to No. 14 in the Sports Net-work Poll and also moved up to No. 16 in the FCS Coaches Poll.

The Panthers remain as the only OVC team ranked in the Sports Network Poll.
