Student Life director unfazed by concert's low ticket sales ByBritlooy-.t.CH YITll l EOITOII

Even thoug h the Martin Luther Jr. University Union ticket offioe was seWng tickets up until performance date, Student Life Director Cecilia Brinker said ticket sales were still sluggish for Howie Day's performance Sunday night in Lana. Arena.

"'There wt:rc about 700 tickets or so sold out of 2,SOO offered, .. Brinker said.

She said no one thing contributed to the lower than expected ticket sales and that good and bad ticket sales are just the nature of the business.

"'We were optimistic because we felt that we did have good feedback from our committee, their surveys, the fact that other schools were booking him and that his tour was doing well,. .. Brinker said.

" It will take about a week to get aU the invoices in but (low ticket sa:Jes) doesn' t change much for Universi ty Board, .. University Board concert coordinator Joe Ata mian said. Brinke r said Da y was a good show for the students who did attend. She attributes lower ticket sales to several things.

"Spring Break was a factor. People had m<mey before and after they might have been strapped for cash. We didn' t adver­t ise as much for this show, the t iming was off. some students might not have wanted to g o out on a Sunday night when they have c lasses and work the next day, .. Brinker said.

Senate to hear ways to up freshman retention rates By...,_, A.OIII I I ISI II ATIO III EOllOR

Ways to improve freshman retention rates have been dis· cussed by a committee and the resul ts will be presented to the Faculty Senate Tuesday.

Karla Sanders, director of the Center for Academic Support/Achievement,. said the Academic Retention Committee has sce:n a drop in retention for freshmen who Uvc off campus with family, or "'commuter stu· dents,. and those wi th undecided majors.

Sanders said these students have a tendency not to return for their sophomore year because they don' t feel connected to the campus.

"'Undecided majors arc in dan· ger of dropping out of Eastern because they arc determining where they want to go in their lives,*' Sanders said.

One similarity betoA•een fresh· men who stay at Eastern to bocome sophomores seems to be a university foundations c lass, she said.

"'Students who take uni 'lersity foundatbns tend to have a h.igher retention rate than those who do not, .. Sanders aid.

To imprcwe the freshman ret en· tion r ate, the committee bas sug· gestcd giving undecided majors more information on programs they can major and making com· muter students feel more con­nected to campus, Sanders said. The Academic Advising Center offers freshmen with unde· c larcd majors a panel of stu· dents who describe the benefits of their respccti'lc majors.

Another idea suggested by the committee is the creation o f a handbook designed for com­muter students to increase retention o f these st udents.

.. We saw those numbers were reaUy low. Wc'U try to increase the numbers with a student com­muter handbook. given out at ori· entation, .. Sanders said.

Reasons for the lower re ten· tion r ate among commuter stu· dents could be because of a lack of involvement with the college.

Array of dances showcased to begin International Week Danolloil S U H WRIHR

InternaHonal Week opened with an as.sortment of entertain· m ent M onday night at the U niversi ty Grand BaUroom.

A little girl with brilliant b londe curl.s danced with a big :smile on her face as her skirt :sashayed along with the music of the Flamenco dancers.

A Middle-Eastern woman wearing a deep purple shawl· type dress clapped her hands to the beat of a group of Celtic darwers.

A group of Flamenco dancers, an Irish band and an Indian band performed for an a udience of ebout60.

"The dancers practiced a lot and are very fancy I think,,. said Miljan Marirus, an event planner.

While the Indian band bas per· f ormed at Eastern before, Marlrus bdped ge t a new mix of entertainment to campus.

Students a nd an Eastern pro­f essor began the evening with a tribute to flamenco dancers.

The seven dancers pounded their heeled shoes oo the slightly elevated wood noor, and re5ounding thunder rang through the ballroom.

As the group paired orr, their leader, wearing a printed Flamenco dress, turned a bout in circles to show her students bow the dance was done.

Once the dancers left the stage, the Celtic group proceed­ed to give the audience a taste or what l rish music is like.

Tbe group or five played a wide array of traditional Irish instruments that included a tin whistle, flute, tenor banjo, Irish bag pipes, an Irish drum and a fiddle.

At the e nd or the program a Hindustbani classical music group appeared oo stage.

Sbouri Lahiri and Advayanand Sbirsalkar performed a type or ancient Indian music.

•'This type of music started as a meditation form and bas mewed onto a performance art, .. Shirsalkar said.

The music is achieved on a "'raga" style which bas a mdodie theme, but is very mucb impr~ vised, Lahiri said.

Tbe two performers wore deep red tunics and brilliant white pants while sitting cross-legged on a whi te sheet.

Shirsalkar, the vocalist, sang in an ancient language.

His voice ranged in tones and transferred into different pitcb· es throughout his singing.

While Shirsalkar sang, Lahiri played a repetitious rbythm on his two drum-like instruments.

Quorum shows council needs size reduction

The Council m University Planning 111d Budget proved why it needs a reductioo in size. The coun­

cil could ooly meet for 35 minutes at its mocting last month because it dido\ have a majority of members in atcndmce.

In February, theCUPB elected not to reduce its

current 38-wting-membc:r coun cil with an 18--10 vcte. 1be logic behind the vote was to get rq>re­

sentation from aD areas of the univt:r5ity, allowing evt:ryone to have a say in what happens.

At rast, most people thought our signs were a big joke and we were just trying to scam them of a few bucks. But once they found out it would be helping a good cause, they were surprised and kind of impressed.

Though there was one incUvid­uaJ who was more concerned with his current rmancial sta.tus and wasn't even willing to dish out a measly $4, there were sev­eral people who donated more

than the money asked of them. We had people who eame back

thrwghout the night just to add to the money they had alrCIIdy gi ven. I had ooe guy wbo didn't even attend the party throw$10 in my direction once be beard what the money wouJd be going toward.

People who don't even drink alcohol were willing to open their wallets for the cause of an area child.

This is by no means a pat on the back for those who helped organile the event, but a way of making people realize they can do good things in simple ways. Two kegs and a Uttle music p~ duoed $300 il a mere three to four hours.

Both Frida y night and Sa turda y we received a great response from people wbo a ttended and even those who did not attend.

We heard peopk say how they wish they would have thought of the idea and that this type of party needs to happen agail. It is nice to know so many students were excited to help out and wanted to ooatinue 10 help.

Upper tce:nagers and 20.0me­thing students can get together for the good of the community without relying on a committee or board to get it done for them. Every little bit counts and no oootribution is too small

YDUR T URI : LETTER S TD T HE E DITO R

Share the Christian message To the sf>C4lled

"'Chris tians,. of Eastern: Wherever you are hjding, I enoourage you to take a s tand for Christ. Rather than sitting back and observing the depravity of our culture, do something about it.

It's frustra ting to see Christians be Christ ians in church, only to hide behind cross necklaces once they venture out into the public.

What happened to this boldness that Romans 1:16 describes when it states, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel because it is that power of God for everyone who believes,.?

Christ did not merely sug· gest that we share this mes­sage of hope, be commands it. He teUs us to "'Go!'" Jesus did not let a fear of o ther beliefs, cul tural back· grounds, gender or social status keep him from telling people who he is, so why should we?

A s ilent witness is no wi t· ness at all. A person eannot tell by your posture how to experience Christ, but by your words.

Jesus even asked his dis· c iple Peter, "'Who do you sa ytha.t I am?,.

How would you answer that question?

After age 23, only about 1

in 100 will trust Christ This is a prime time to be shar­ing your faith.

Ninety peroe:ot of al Christians never lead any· one to Christ. That's a shocking s ta tistic, or is it? How many people ha'le you led to Christ? Are you going to be another Christian to contribute to this 90 per­cent , or are you going to help medrasticaUy change thissta tistie?

Do not simply let life hap­pen, but out of the overflow of your heart, do as Chris t calls us to do so that the lives of those around us may be changed. Second Timothy 1:7 reads, "'For God did not give us a spirit of timidity. but of power, of love and of self~jscipline ...

Four alleged victims of former priest Paul Shanley settle with church BOSTON (AP) - The Boston

Archdiocese has settled lawsuits med by fmr mco who say they were molested as boys by the Rev. Paul R. Shanley, a central figure in the sex .scandal that rocked the Romao Ca.t.bolic Church..

The exact financial tenns of the agrccmc:nt reached late Sunday were not disclo90d. Ho~'C\-cr, an attcrncy r er the plaintiffs said each will get more than the $3)(1,000 maximum that SS) other allcgcd abuse victims will receive in a $8S

miltioo settlement reached with theMchd.nccsc last September.

Roderick Mad.eisb Jr., descn.Dcd Shanley as ... human wrccldog ball" and promised to continue be~ pm>ecutors bu ild a crim.i· nal c.eagllinst Slwllcy.

Shanley is awaiting trial on charges of ra:pin.g Ferd, Busa and the two others at a parish in Newton in the 19'805. He is Cree on $300,000 bail Focd, now 26, Yid be was repeatedly raped by Shanley, beginning at age6.

The fotr plaintiffs - Gregory Ford, Paul Bus.a and two other men who asked net to be ideoti.f.ed -bad refused to sign an to t he earli­er sctdemeaL Their lawyer,

Hanebrink said a "'department head .. is responsible for each office or department's emergency response contingency plans.

Eastern'!; Environmental Health and Safety Department was estab· lisbed ••to provjde a comprehensive

and continuing accident prevention effort," according to the depart· men t ~ Web site, http://www.eiu.e du/·environ..

Also on the department's Web site is an emergency response eontin· gency p.lan guide, and according to the section for chemical spills and fires, each department's response plan must be posted along with a map with the exit route marited.

However, Dave Horsman, adminis· trative assistant to the director of accounting and financei, could not flnd an emergency plan o·r a map posted.

He then asked Peggy Brown, a sec· retary in the offioe, to locate one, which she round in her riles after sev· er al minutes of searching.

According to the emergency plan

she found, department members were required to evacuate and assemble at an Emergency Assembly Point (EAP), which was listed as in front of Old Main and behind Old Main as an alternate.

Larry Cannon, d irector of accoun t· ing and finance, sajd the department bas several undocumented emer· gency procedures as well

The undocumented p rocedures include designating someone to lock the safe and someone to conduct a bead count of everyone at the EAP.

Cannon was not sure bow many people normally worked in the office, but be said it was around JO.

Whoever conducted the bead count during an emergency would pick up a sign-in sheet to sec who was at work that day.

No OVC title in sight as baseball team hits midseason Confident Cubs beat Reds TEEllG OFF

. .... Gillert ASSOCIATE S PORT& l OllO&

Befcrethestartof the Ee.stem base> ball &ea90n in late February. Panthers head coach Jimmy Schmitz said the team had a lot of questions heading into the opcnS!g tournament. After all, the Panthers lost seniors Bret Pignat:idlo, Kirk Walters, A.arm Sbdboum:: and Danny Jordan, who just happened to be four of the team's six most productive hitters. And with 13 frahmco en the F..a.stc:m 32~ roster. expecting the youthful Panthers to aU gd t~cther right away and bdp the team immedi­ately was probab1yout of tbeq~ion.

But F.astem has weathered the 1uonn with 14 conllCCUtive lotlc~ and after a sweep of Ohio Valley Conference roe Murray State 1aS weekend, the Parthcrs currently sit io a three--way tie for third-place in the ccnfcn::nce behind Jacksmvillc State and Austin Peay. With half the 6CUJO s.tiU remaining. kts play a little question and answer of our own and try to predict just where Eastern will s tmd come sca500•s end.

Q--Eastero round a new ace wble a.a· ior Jared Manball was recove.ring &om otfSN!I>• SUl'1ftty?

A· Yes, Eastern djd mid his name is Kirk Miller. Nobody shined brighter in MaN.ball's absence than the sophomore Southpaw who has a 2-3 record with an ERA in the upper fours. Head.Sig into the season, t figured follow sophlmcre Mike Budde would take the torch from Marsba.U and Iced the Panthers but sea-­son ending Tcmmy John surgery baa preverted that from occurring.

I'd kcq:> pitcher Erik Huber io this slot uoJess be takes the mouod lo my cpEim, one of Sdunitl's best moves this year was to let Huber swing the bat as the BdleviUe native respmded with a .4SS batting average ald five RBis io just 22 plate appearances.
