The crowd’s conversation and the blasting bass created the sound of an-ticipation, when suddenly the host en-tered a modeling battle that ended with a death drop to open the GLAM Mod-eling Concrete Jungle fashion show.
McAfee Gym was turned into three catwalks with two intersecting aisles at both ends. Three models posed at the top of the aisle, they strutted along the catwalk together then switched passed each other showing their outfits to all the audiences.
Splitting the show into five sections, all inspired by different animals high-lighting the animal’s renowned charac-teristics, carried out the Concrete Jun-gle theme.
A vulture’s ability to find treasure from trash is similar to thrift shopping which was the opening scene “High Fashion Homelessness.”
N’tchana Batoma, a senior theatre arts major, said her favorite section was
the opening scene. “It allowed the designers to be more
creative with their designs,” she said.Models were barefoot, wore scarfs,
layered dull colored clothing and held signs saying, “Will pose for cash” which reinforced the homeless theme.

SWEPT AWAY
Subcommitteesprepare budget cutproposals for CUPBBy Stephanie Markham, Jack Cruikshank & Jarad JarmonVerge Editor, Staff Reporter & Associate News Editor | @DEN_News
The Council on University Plan-ning and Budgeting subcommit-tees reconvened Friday to go over the recommendations for cuts in their specific areas, which would be brought to the other subcom-mittees.
The Academic Affairs subcom-mittee reviewed various recom-mendations, a task which had be-come monotonous and strenuous that some members needed a break whether it chocolate break or an alcoholic break
“We need alcohol,” subcommit-tee member Assege HaileMariam said.
The subcommittee reviewed var-ious costs associated with Booth Library, such as an annual $25,000 fund for travel expenses associated with conference travel.
Allen Lanham, the dean of Li-brary Services, defended the ex-pense, even though it is consid-erably higher than most depart-ments.
“We do spend more in travel than other departments, and that is by plan,” Lanham said. “I don’t want the library to be behind the eight ball.”
Lanham said when he arrived at Eastern, the librarians were paying their own way to conferences, and he said he did not like that.
“When I arrived at Booth Li-brary, we had no travel money and no one was going anywhere. You looked around at the library and you thought, ‘This library is going nowhere,’ and that was the case,” Lanham said.
Lanham said he has compared travel money to the money vari-ous departments get for summer
programs and research projects as well as courses they allow faculty to make extra money.
“At the library we don’t have that (additional money), and never will,” Lanham said. “But in terms of national and international asso-ciations, I want us to be there.”
The subcommittee also reviewed the viability of associate deans to teach courses half of the time they are employed at Eastern.
The group decided one of their recommendat ions to the main council will be to review the work-loads of associate deans and review how their time can be utilized best.
The academic affairs subcom-mittee debated ways to reduce spending in the academic depart-ments around campus.
Members were at odds over what areas could and could not stand to be assessed for cutting costs, espe-cially on the area of research.
However, the subcommittee agreed to bring a number of sug-gestions back to the council on ar-eas in which spending should be assessed, including university foun-dation courses, the study abroad office, the minority affairs office, deans and department offices and academic support offices such as the Student Success Center.
The subcommittee also agreed the university mission statement should be used as a guide in assess-ing spending.
With the pressure of the univer-sity’s limited budget, the subcom-mittee members were in conflict over the necessities of certain pro-grams and offices when they have been tasked with finding ways to cut costs.
Lanham sugge s t ed eva lua t -ing the amount of funding for re-search.

BUDGET CUT, page 5
Perry to finish out term with same momentumBy Bob GaluskiManaging Editor | @BobGaluski
Stay the course. That’s how President Bill Perry plans
to spend the rest of his tenure as presi-dent of Eastern.
Perry, who announced via email Thursday his intent to step down as pres-ident at the end of his contract in June 2015, said that for the rest of his term, he will be making sure different areas are followed through.
One of the bigger areas still in the ear-ly stages comes in the form of a $7 mil-lion budget cut he ordered earlier this year. Although still in the initial stag-es, Perry said the recommendations the three subcommittees of the Council on Planning and Budgeting are making
would extend through fiscal year 2015, 2016 and 2017.
“Next year, during fiscal ‘15, we’ll have to see how those are starting work, to assess the impact of them, to see what kinds of tweaks we may need to make downstream,” Perry said. “So we will continue working on that.”
Although this cut, still starting out, comes toward the end of Perry’s term, Perry said it is something that any presi-dential candidate would know.
“Any person who is interested in serving as a president, they know a few things. They know that 60 percent of the university’s in the country did not reach their enrollment goals last year. State support for higher education is uncertain at best,” he said. “They should expect to be serving at a university with both op-
portunities and challenges.”Perry, 68, said one of the biggest con-
tributing factors to his decision to leave came down to wanting time for other opportunities, such as travel, family time and to continue pursuing mathematics.
Perry began his tenure as president in July 2007, after being at Texas A&M University since 1971, where he was in professorial and administrative roles.

Social Justice and Diversity Week is a weeklong event sponsored by the Residence Housing Association that unites registered student orga-nizations together to realize every-one is diverse.
The week is filled with various activities and begins on Monday and goes until Friday.
Monday is the Fagbug presenta-tion at 8 p.m. in Coleman Audito-rium. Tuesday is the Tunnel of Op-pression from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. in Thomas Hall and a YouTube video and Cross the Line at 8 p.m. in Andrews Hall. Wednesday is the reception for Erin Davies from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. in the Cultural Center on Seventh Street behind Blair Hall and a question and an-swer segment for the Fagbug pre-sentation is at 7 p.m. in the Cole-man Auditorium.
Thursday is the Diversity Sta-
tions in Lawson Basement at 8 p.m. Friday is the tearing down of the wall of oppression at noon in the li-brary quad.
Tearing down the wall is one ac-tivity that the Social Justice and Di-versity Committee sponsor. The Tearing Down the Wall project is a physical construction of a cinder block wall. The wall represents the barriers of hated and intolerance that separates us as human beings. “
We get called these words and to see them being tore down will show us that these words can hurt you,” said Sabrina Cantell, a senior marketing major and a Social Jus-tice and Diversity committee mem-ber.
The wall will stand for four days and on the fourth day students and the community will be invit-ed to help tear down the wall, tear-ing down the barriers between the Eastern communities.
RHA President Patrick Morrow said there is no sign up needed.
Students who want to participate just need to show up.
The highlight of the week will be the documentary “The Fagbug.” The Fagbug is a story about Erin Davies who was a victim to a hate crime in Albany, New York.
Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin’s car was vandalized, left with the words “fag” and “u r gay” placed on the driver’s side window and hood of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to em-brace what happened by leaving the graffiti on her car. She took her car, now known worldwide as the “fag-bug,” on a 58-day trip around the US and Canada.
“The hope is that this week will teach the students and exposed them to issues of diversity,” added Morrow.

Taylor Hall to host dodgeball for Funfest
Activities to promote diversity

let's shake on it
By Morgan shafferstaff reporter | @Den_news
Paint wil l f ly in South Quad Monday at 4:30 p.m. as students chuck paint smothered balls at each other dur ing Taylor Hal l Council’s twisted form of dodge-ball for Funfest.
Teams of white wi l l face off with washable paint balls. Tay-lor Vice President, Brooke Kim-ball said everyone who is plan-ning to come should wear some-thing white that they don’t mind getting dirty.
Kimbal l sa id they wanted to have an opt ion for those who don’t want to get messy; kickball will also be available without the paint-covered balls.
They will be ordering Jimmy John’s sandwiches for those who participate to attract more people and to fill the stomachs of those who will be paint ridden by the end of the game.
They want a lot of people to come out fo r th i s and have a chance to get outside and play the biggest game of dodgeball possi-ble, Kimball said.
A cake will also be available for students to celebrate Taylor having the most improved collective GPA from Spring 2013 to Fall 2013.
K imba l l s a i d th e e xe cu t i v e board wanted to host an outside event but also put a little twist on it so that it isn’t just another game in the quad.
They wanted it to be special and not like any other to celebrate the warmer weather and hopeful-ly draw more people out with the new addition of the paint.
“We have all been cooped up all winter and for the beginning part of spring, so we wanted to have an event outside that every-one can come have fun at,” Kim-ball said.

Charleston Riot re-enacted for 150th anniversary
AmAndA Wilkinson | The dAily eAsTern ne WsUnion soldier re-enactors walk along Sixth Street next to the Courthouse, shooting at the Copperheads during the Charleston Riot re-enactment. The r-eenactment was part of a three-day celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Charleston Riot.
JAson hoWell | The dAily eAsTern ne WsCivil War re-enactors re-enact the Charleston Riot on the steps of the Coles County Courthouse on Sunday. The riot was a battle between Union soldiers on leave and Southern Sympathizers known as Copper-heads.
k ATie smiTh | The dAily eAsTern ne WsMayor Larry Rennels drinks a latte while in full costume with his wife Mary Ann Rennels Saturday at Jackson Avenue Coffee shortly after the closing ceremony commemorating the Charleston Riot. Earlier in the day, Larry Rennels participated in the events, including being the MC at the Coles County Fairgrounds during a reenactment at 3 p.m. He said his cos-tume was meant to resemble Eli Wiley, the mayor of Charleston in 1864.
By Jarad JarmonAssociate News editor | @JJarmonReporter
Silence fell over the audience sur-rounding the Charleston square Sun-day as they contemplated the series of events that unfolded just before.
With bodies on the ground and rifle smoke filling the air, the Coles County Courthouse clock tower bell tolled nine times in remembrance of those who had died, not counting the 12 wounded, in the Charleston Riot 150 years ago.
Charleston residents who were at the square witnessed a glimpse into the past as professional historical re-enactors like Mike Lipe, 48, shot at each other, recreating the bloody 10 minutes of fighting that had come about between Union soldiers and copperheads, who were against the war entirely.
Dick Hummel, who had narrated the re-enactment, said many of those involved in the Charleston Riot had been under the influence of alcohol with heated opinions of the war.
After being antagonized by Oliver Sallee a Union soldier, Nelson Wells, a copperhead, took shots at Salle ul-
timately killing him and starting un-controllable chaos in the streets be-tween the two sides.
When describing each side, Hum-mel wanted to make sure either side were treated unfairly and the truth was told accurately.
He said while researching the riot he found himself feeling sorry for the copperheads who were antagonized when soldiers were coming back from the continuing war.
The reenactors put on a convinc-ing show with plums emanating from their rifles filled with blanks. The crowd jumped as each person involved fired at the opposing force. Soldiers flew to the ground as they were shot at leading children in the crowd to gasp with excitement and fear.
Lipe said he had spends normally three to four months researching ev-ery character he plays.
“We are out to have a good time with our comrades and respect and honor the fallen and help the public remember what they went through,” Lipe said.
As fast as it started, the battle ended. Verbal insults were barked
from each group as the copperheads fled down Jackson Ave. A copper-head shooter said “Go to hell” to the Union troops. One union soldier re-sponded “you first to the man in the final moments of the fight causing a chuckle throughout the crowd.
Kim Bauer, executive director of the Coles County Historical Society, said the length of these battles, think-ing they last hours on end, surpris-es many. In most cases, they last only two to 10 minutes long.
The audience filled the sidewalks throughout the reenactment. Bau-er said many of those who had come were ancestors of these fallen men and this was a way of seeing their family history unfold.
“You see a lot of people who are re-lated then you see a lot of people who very interested in re-enactments and wanting to see them,” Bauer said.
Lipe said the good attendance har-kened back to an old saying, “Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.”

RHA elects should strive to meet goals
Legislators have been trying to find ways in which to bring certain “criminals,” the video game players, to justice, especial-ly with the wake of such shootings in the Newtown, Conn. and Aurora, Colo.
These gamers live out there devious fan-tasies through the violent video games sur-facing frequently in the U.S. and most of the world. They kill, steal and destroy throughout these games with a mindless need for violence, or so legislators believe.
When playing through a video game such as “Grand Theft Auto 5,” which broke records becoming the highest revenue gen-erated by an entertainment product in 24 hours selling $11 million units sold, I kill, steal and destroy until my hearts content.
But, as I reach over to turn off the game console, a switch is flipped and reality sets in. I never killed a police officer. I nev-er stole a Mustang to drive it the airport to crash it into my friend killing us in the pro-ecess. I never did any of those things.
It was a fantasy and like with most who play video games other than the very small amount of unhinged individuals, I knew the difference between reality and fantasy.
In reality, hypocrites have been spouting nonsense to enforce bans on violent video
games, like Leland Yee, a Democratic Cal-ifornia State Senator who, as of Wednes-day, was indicted for arms trafficking and corruption charges as part of a larger FBI operation for the Bay Area.
In the past, he was a major voice for a bill that would prohibit minors from play-ing violent video games. It was fortunate-ly overturned.
The ironic nature of this senator who blames these video games for illegal activ-ity is laughable and should be taken into account when listening to those like him with a clear vendetta against specific enter-tainment and art.
There is not a game in existence focused around government corruption, so it leads me to wonder what led him to commit ille-gal activity because it was not videogames.
“Gamers have got to just quiet down,” Yee said. “Gamers have no credibility in this argument. This is all about their lust for violence and the industry’s lust for money. This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest.”
Yee has lost all credibility in this mat-ter with his flawed, moral choices and hyp-ocritical view. It’s more like him consistent-ly look for a scapegoat to find what makes people violent. They have been doing this by singling out developers of these games, making them exempt of research and devel-opment tax breaks other businesses have full reign in using.
There is no definitive proof that video games cause a detriment to society. Refus-ing tax breaks for the companies is highly unethical, but it is a real issue for many in the gaming world.
They are slowly, but surely, trying to remove an experience. A experience many in the U.S. want to experience, as proven by the millions of bought games in a year.

Russia cuts it close before the Olympics
The Residence Hall Association recently elected their executive board last week for the 2014-2015 school year. The positions include the RHA president, vice president, national-Illinois communications coordi-nator, secretary, and treasurer positions.
Christina Lauff was voted as the next school year’s RHA president. Her plans in-clude making ROCFest bigger by promot-ing early in order for those on campus to know what is happening.
This is crucial for new students who do not know what ROCFest is . Every year, RHA plans various activities for the EIU students to participate in. The problem is that there are sometimes fewer entries. It is a waste for the students not to participate in these activities, including everyone’s fa-vorite: the cardboard boat race.
Lauff also mentioned about support-ing an idea about sponsoring a Cancer Re-lay for Life team. Relay for Life is a very fun event for a great cause. Relay for Life
in both Mattoon and Charleston are both successes. If Lauff can oversee that this plan happens, RHA representatives and students will join the fight.
Kadie Peterson wil l be the next vice-president, and was the one that is cred-ited for the Relay for Life team. Peter-son will be looking to make sure that team happens.
As great as this plan sounds in theory, it could be a detriment to ROCFest and other RHA events. Planning for something like this could take a lot of time. It should not take away from the other RHA events. Peterson will need to make sure that com-mittees are on top of their game and get-ting what matters they need to do done.
Jordan Sullivan was elected to be the na-tional-Illinois communications coordina-tor. He said that he wanted to put Eastern on the map at conferences. That is a high goal that is attainable. Sullivan’s tough-est obstacle will be getting everyone as en-
thused as him, which is another attainable goal.
Jack Cruikshank was elected to the sec-retary position. Cruikshank currently has not plans, but when the time comes Crui-kshank should be prepared. During his t ime at The Dai ly Eas tern New s , Crui-kshank has completed whatever has been asked of him in a timely fashion.
Kyle Anderson was elected to become the new treasurer. Anderson wants to push for more community service. Anderson’s first stop should be Rachel Fisher. Fisher is consistently sending mass e-mails look-ing for help in different community ser-vice projects. This is an idea that should be enacted even if it is just two hours of ser-vice required.
The new executive board will be inaugu-rated at the RHA banquet May 1. Let’s see what you got guys.
“Cross Purposes” (Mar-24-14) did well in trac-ing in detail the erosion of religious liberty in re-cent times. Linking basic and traditional politi-cal principles to recent developments would have added to the article. Our Constitution is a state-ment affirming certain concepts of our represen-tative republic.
As a social contract it defines the boundaries of the rule of law and individual liberty. Individ-ual liberty as a value is not to be abridged with-out clear and compelling reasons to enact and en-force law.
Most of human activity should be free to pro-ceed without legal definition, regulation, or standing. From this we have, “ Don’t ask, don’t tell.” The law is mute, cannot be bothered. In-stead of, “ There ought to be a law,” we should say , “ The law should shut up!”
We became more aware of clear and compel-ling needs for law during the sixties. Laws were enacted. People regained voting rights. Public ac-comodations in hotels and restaurants were made available to people for the necessities of life that hotel and restaurants provided.
Food and shelter are clear and compelling hu-man needs. That is one area where law crosses the boundary of individual liberty. But, how can it possibly be argued that cakes, flowers, and photos qualify equally as human needs?
No clear and compelling reason exists to bully the elderly lady who does not wish to bake a cake for certain parties.
How much of the social contract are we to caste aside? That is the question emerging from Arizona and New Mexico

“I am fully in favor of as much research as possible, I’m just ask-ing the question how much re-search can Eastern afford,” Lan-ham said.
Ha i l eMar i am, a p sycho logy professor, said she was offended at the suggestion of cutting costs for research.
She said research allows East-ern to send students to places like the Univers i ty of Chicago and John Hopkins University, and it is a direct way to teach critical thinking skills.
“Without research, no matter how small it is, we cannot send those students there,” Haile Mar-iam sa id. “On top of that , we struggle with this critical think-ing.”
The members could not agree on the suggestion.
But they did agree departments shou ld cons ide r how much i s spent on staffing for deans offic-es and department offices with a number of assistant chairs and as-sociate chairs.
Another point of debate was whether or not to assess the fi-nancial viability of graduate pro-grams with low enrollment.
Though members noted defin-ing what programs are considered smal l would be disputed, Lan-ham said including that sugges-tion might give programs the in-centive to regroup and promote themselves.
Many suggest ions the group members have come up with are still up for consideration before they are finalized and submitted to the president’s office.
“We are $8 million in the red here; that’s been my only point and I’ve been looking for ways in which we might offer to remedy that deal,” Lanham said. “I’m not anti-faculty, I’m not anti-leave, I ’m not anti-waiver, but some-one’s going to have to be anti-something or we’re going to go down the tubes.”
The student affairs subcommit-
tee reviewed their recommenda-tions and revised the language in their two-page proposal.
According to a draft propos-al they were editing during the meeting, because the division of student affairs receives 4 percent of the university’s appropriated funds, they focused on 4 percent or $320,000 of the $8 million to determine specific recommenda-tions.
T h e s u b c o m m i t t e e r e c o m -mended contract lengths be re-duced for consolers in the coun-sel ing center from nine, 10 or 11 months instead of 12 month contracts. They also added that contrac t l ength for other em-ployees in student affairs should be looked at, especially for new staff.
They also recommended cut-ting 10 percent of the appropri-ated budget for intercol legiate athletics and sports information, which would save $188,943.
T h e y a l s o w i l l p r o p o s e $100,000 to be taken from the Student Affairs Department in whatever way the vice president for student affairs, according to the draft proposal revised at the meeting.
Recommendat ions were a l so made to enhance student affairs when and if in a time of enroll-ment increases with a focus on leadership deve lopment . Zach Samples, a student representative on the subcommittee, said there should be more opportunities for applied learning.
The s e r e commenda t i on s a s well as the ones in the other three committees wi l l be invest igat-ed at the next council meeting at 2 p.m. Friday in Room 4440 in Booth Library. Lanham said they need to be prepared for the Board of Trustees meeting Apr. 25.

African bees motivated the next scene. The African bees were chosen because they are a community that works together, but if the bee is being mistreated it will attack. This was associated with the urban envi-ronment.
Two models dressed in bright colors, bold prints and fur textures walked in syn-chronization with fierce attitudes, only to meet in the middle of the catwalk and slowly lean into a backbend on each other.
Mariah Jones, a model and junior com-munication studies major, said she really enjoyed the urban scene.
“I love urban because it’s a mixture of class with a grungy feel you have to be fierce,” she said.
This demonstrated skill and teamwork, which is the personality of African Bees.
Owls being nocturnal was the animal for the nightlife portion. Bright spotlights exposing their party attire followed the models
Kyra Tucker, a junior family and con-sumer sciences major, said she connected
with the nightlife scene the most. “It was real glamorous and I love every-
thing with glamour,” she said. The lion, the king of the jungle, was the
business casual scene with models dressed to impress taking command of the profes-sional arena.
A model rocking a lion mask with a dramatic orange mane ripped the runway sporting a rolling suitcase.
The closing scene was the mighty and elegant panthers. All of the models wore upscale dresses, jumpers topped off with lipstick colors designed by GLAM’s make-up artist.
The ending model wore an all-white so-phisticated dress which she took command of the catwalk by doing a series of twirls let-ting the dress flow in slow motion.
The show was centered on empowering women, said Kendall Jackson, a senior the-atre arts major and the host.
“We want to accent and pay tribute to women in the fashion industry,” Jackson said.
GLAM did this by only having women models displaying fashion that is in trend.
Jones said she is glad that she is a part of GLAM modeling.
“I feel invincible I am quiet and shy but when I model I feel confident.” she said, “I am glad I choose GLAM because I feel welcomed and a part of a big family.”
The show was not only to entertain and educate the audience about fashion and women but also to raise funds and aware-ness about the World Wildlife Fund.
GLAM was able to raise $110 for a re-spected organization that is focused on conserving, protecting and reviving wild-life environments for animals and humans.
Kiona Mallory, a sophomore commu-nications disorder sciences major, put the show in one word: extravagant.
“It was extravagant because of differ-ent masks and makeup made all the differ-ence,” she said.

The Eas tern t rack and f i e ld team started its 2014 outdoor sea-son with six first place finishes at the Southern Ill inois Classic in Carbondale Saturday.
Despite the first place finishes, the men’s team finished 3rd out of seven, and the women’s team 4th out of seven.
Four of the first place finishes came from individual performanc-es, while the other two came from a pair of victories in the 4x100m relay races.
Fr e s h m a n Jo h n a t h a n B o e y, sophomore Calvin Edwards, fresh-man Jamal Robinson, and senior Kalee l Johnson compri sed the men’s winners, as they finished with a time of 41.18 seconds. This time was nearly one second ahead of Indiana State’s team, who fin-ished at 42.06.
“That men’s relay team had one of the best exchanges I ’ve ever seen,” Eastern head coach Tom Akers said. “They were very flu-id, solid, and fun to watch,” Ak-ers said.
The women’s team consisted of sophomore Amina Jackson, fresh-man Ashley Fouch, red-shirt ju-nior Kirsten Bryant, and soph-omore Dhiaa Dean. They f in-ished with a time of 3:56.94, near-ly three seconds of the runner-up team from Indiana State.
Eas te rn a l so won the i r f i r s t men’s steeplechase, as red-shirt sophomore Joe Ca l io f in i shed first, with a time of 9:18.90.
“ Joe’s run we l l the l a s t f ew years, and he showed great perse-verance in the last couple of sec-onds of that race,” Akers said. “He ran very smart and conservatively.”
The other men’s individual first place finish came from Edwards. Edwards took home the gold in the 200-meter dash, with a time of 21.48 seconds.
The women’s team grabbed first place f inishes in both the high jump and the 100-meter hurdles. Freshman Kailey James picked up Eastern’s lone field victory, with a height of 5-feet, 2.25-inches in the high jump. Senior Jalissa Paramore took first in the 100-meter hurdles, with a time of 14.23 seconds.
The pole vault competition saw no top three finishers for Eastern. However, two of the top perform-ers, red-shirt seniors Mick Vik-en and Peter Geraghty, were both competing in the University of Texas Relays. Viken placed fourth with a height of 18-feet, 0.5-inch-es, while Geraghty finished sev-enth with a height of 17-feet , 6.5-inches.
Geraghty’s mark ranks second all-time at Eastern, while Viken became the first Eastern athlete ever to clear the 18 feet mark.
The weather for the meet was
cool, windy with a high near the mid-40s . Akers be l ieved those conditions might have affected his team’s performance.
“The weather might have tak-en away the opportunities from
the kids, to perform better,” Akers said. “We didn’t prepare as well for those conditions, and that’s some-thing we need to make adjust-ments to this week,” Akers said.
The Panthers return home this
week for the Big Blue Class ic , starting Thursday.

Greenfield has made 15 appearanc-es this season and has a 6.28 ERA, allow-ing 43 hits in 28.2 innings. The Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 22nd round in 2012 and the Minnesota Twins select-ed the senior in the 36th round in 2013.
Eastern had a chance to take the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, when the Panthers had the bases loaded with one out and Brant Valach at the plate.
Jacksonville State closer Travis Stout closed the door on Eastern, making Va-lach foul out and then striking out Jason Scholl to end the threat.
Stout pitched the ninth inning, allow-
ing a single, but no more as he collected his ninth save of the season.
The Panthers did have Valach make his return to the Eastern lineup Friday, com-ing back from a hand injured suffered af-ter being hit by a pitch against Arkansas on Feb. 21.
Valach had two RBI-singles in his first two plate appearances Sunday. His second run driven in came in the bottom of the fourth inning, as Jacob Reese scored, giv-ing the Panthers a 6-2 lead.
The four-run advantage matched East-ern’s biggest lead of the afternoon, follow-ing a four-run bottom of the first inning
for the Panthers.The Gamecocks’ sweep of Eastern was
their first ever at Coaches Stadium since they joined the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003.
The Panthers are now 7-20 overall and 2-7 in the OVC, while Jacksonville State improved to 9-3 in conference and 17-10 overall.
Schmitz said the injury to Slazinik has greater implications to an already deplet-ed bullpen.
“We have a lot of depth issues and now not having him is definitely harder right now,” he said.
Last year, Slazinik made one pitch all season, which came in his first start against Jackson State on Feb. 17, 2013.
Currently sitting near the bottom of the OVC standings, Schmitz said, imme-diate alterations have to be made.
“I’m in charge of everything, I’m in charge of everything, so I’ll take full re-sponsibility, we’ll kind of make some changes tomorrow I told them and go on from there,” he said. “We’re not a good baseball team right now.”

Eastern starts with 6 first-place finishes
By anthony catezoneSports Editor | @AnthonyCatz
The Eastern men’s and women’s tennis teams spilt their final road Ohio Valley Conference matches of the season, with the men winning 6-1 and the women losing 7-0 to Murray State Sunday.
At 6-7 overall and 3-3 in confer-ence play, the men earned the dou-bles point with wins by Mortiz Kan-dt and Grant Thmpson to begin the matches.
Then, Rui Silva and Ryan Hen-derson clinched the 1-0 match point and the doubles lead with an 8-3 victory.
Then in singles, Eastern picked up wins at No. 2, 3 and 4 spots as Henderson, Thompson and Robert Skolik each captured their respec-tive victories in consecutive sets.
That would be all the scoring Eastern would need for the victo-ry, but an additional win by Kevin Bauman at No. 5 would add to the Panther margin of victory.
“I thought Grant and Mori-tz both had an excellent doubles match and Ryan was excellent from the first ball,” said associate tennis director/men’s coach Eric Stark said press release. “We will get right back to work as we are hungry to keep getting better.”
However, the women lost two of three doubles before dropping con-secutive singles in straight sets to the Racers, who lead the OVC.
The Eastern women fell to 8-3 overall and 2-3 in OVC play.
But on Saturday, it was the wom-en that were fortunate while the men weren’t against Austin Peay.
The Panther women beat the Lady Governors 5-2, and the Pan-ther men lost to the Governors by the same score.
The duos of Ali Foster and Han-nah Kimbrough and Kelly Iden and Kamile Standlninkaite picked up re-spective 8-3 and 8-2 wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles to get the Pan-thers the doubles victory.
In singles play, Foster, Sepho-ra Boulbaheim and Iden all earned consecutive set wins at No. 4, No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
Senior Janelle Prisner earned a 7-6, 7-5 victory at the top of the lineup for the final point for Eastern.
For the men’s team, Bauman and, along with Kandt and Thompson both earned 8-6 and 8-7 victories at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles, respective-ly.
The doubles win gave Eastern an early 1-0 match advantage, but Aus-tin Peay won three consecutive sin-gles matches.
But Skolik fell to Iago Seffrin in the decisive three-hour match, re-sulting in an Eastern loss (6-2, 3-6, 7-6).
“Rob’s match was one of the best college matches I have witnessed this year,” Stark said. “He left everything out there and that’s all I can ask of these men.”
Both the men and the women will return to action at 11 a.m. Thurs-day at the Charleston High School Courts.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: Last November, #JSU football scored 14 points against #EIU. JSU leads 23-12 over EIU baseball Saturday.
By Aldo sotoAssistant Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21
Red-shirt junior Christian Slazinik’s 28th pitch against Jacksonville State in the top of the second inning was his last for the Eastern baseball left-hander Sunday at Coaches Stadium.
Eastern’s 8-6 loss to Jacksonville State had an injured hamstring top-pled on top of it.
After delivering a called ball to right-handed hitter Gavin Golsan, Slazinik fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.
Eastern coach Jim Schmitz quickly raced toward Slazinik – a second later the team trainer Brandon Platt joined a throng of Panthers surrounding their injured teammate a couple of feet in front of the pitcher’s mound.
“He snapped his hamstring,” Schmitz said. “I hope he’s OK. I’m definitely really concerned about him.”
Leading 4-1, Schmitz had to make a quick decision, as Pratt and a team-mate were helping Slazinik back to the Eastern dugout.
Senior Ben Kennedy made his 14th appearance out of Eastern’s bullpen and held down the fort for the Pan-thers’ pitching staff that allowed 31 runs in the first two games of the se-ries.
The lefty tossed 2.1 innings, allow-ing one run after coming in to replace Slazinik.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, Kennedy’s departure after the fourth inning opened up the door for the Jacksonville State offense.
Tyler Gamble was not even penciled in to the Gamecocks’ lineup for the se-ries finale, but after Daniel Gaither ex-perienced an injury in pregame warm-ups, Jacksonville State coach Jim Case was forced to alter his lineup.
Gamble took full advantage of the opportunity and went 3-for-5 with
two RBIs, which included a solo-home run to left-center field in the top of the second inning off of Slazinik – Gam-ble was the batter before Slazinik in-jured himself.
The Gamecocks were down 6-5, heading into the top of the sixth in-ning, when Michael Bishop lined a ball down the right-field line that scored Golsan, who was at second base after being hit by a pitch and then stealing second.
Golsan stole a base in each game of the three-game series against the Pan-thers, which did not make Schmitz happy.
“We just let them steal – Golsan, the fastest guy in America is on and we’re not even going to throw over and we let him steal,” Schmitz said.
As a whole the Gamecocks re-corded 11 stolen bases in the week-end.
Jacksonville State took the lead with a fielder’s choice groundout, hit by Griff Gordon that scored Bishop from third base.
Senior Joe Greenfield pitched 2.1 innings and allowed two runs to Jacksonville State, taking his second straight loss in as many days for the Panthers.
In his two outings against the Gamecocks, Greenfield allowed sev-en runs, (three earned) which included not getting an out Saturday, when five runs were charged to the righty.
Schmitz said Greenfield has not been living up to the status of being drafted twice by two different Major League Baseball teams.
“He hasn’t earned it, he hasn’t been good since the beginning of the year,” Schmitz said. “I can’t coat it anymore, there’s nothing else to coat. I mean, you’re a 30th round draft pick and look at his ERA and hits per inning.”

Weather again is Eastern’s chief rival. Against Murray State, the Panthers were forced to postpone their three game set due to heavy rains in Murray, Ky., Friday night into Saturday morning.
