Three universities combined to present the idea of unity and non-violence by raising money for orga-nizations that help victims of vio-lence on Saturday.

Eastern’s Next Top Model, Uni-versity of Illinois- Champaign/ Ur-bana Moda Delissima, and design-ers from Illinois State University united to sponsor the fashion show

“Art Hits the Runway.”The show included different

lines by Cynthia Moore and Daria Peterson, both family and consum-er science major at Illinois State University, and Esraa Odeh, a soci-ology major at Eastern.

Celebrity designers Coco and Breezy Dotson hosted the show and announced the different fash-ion lines.

Different lines such as Black Ice, Milan Elite Fashions, Vintage Clothing and classy clothes, were presented to raise money for the HOPE of East Central Illinois in Charleston and Cease Fire in Chi-cago.

Toni Porter, founder and pres-ident of E.N.T. models, said the fashion show raised more than

$1,000 to go to the organizations. “It is important to raise mon-

ey and don’t forget to give back to the community because that is how you uplift others,” Porter said.

Breezy said the E.N.T. models came up with a good theme for the show.

“The whole message they had behind the show was pretty epic,” Breezy said. “We loved it and had a good time.”

The last scene of the show fea-

tured models wearing painted mes-sages of love, peace and unity.

“I believe everyone understood and got the concept of the mes-sage,” Porter said. “Especially with the paint, that was the whole part of the show ‘Art Hits the Runway,’ we were able to bring the art and bring that positive message through the paint.”

Coco and Breezy said they liked the message in the last scene.

In April, education majors preparing for the Ba-sic Skills Test will have to pay $39 more for tak-ing the exam.

The Basic Skills Test is a statewide test that all education majors must pass in order to be accepted to the teacher education program. The test consists of four sections, which are reading comprehension, language arts, math and writing.

Right now the test costs $86, and practice tests are free, but in April the test will cost $125.

The Penalty Box Bar & Grill's class D restaurant liquor license was revoked today. Mayor John In-yart, acting in the capacity as the li-quor commissioner, announced to-day that he is revoking the bar's li-cense for selling to an intoxicated person, failing to report sales and later filing falsified reports.

Enchantments, transforma-tions and expressions of pop culture through literary works of the renais-sance romance period will be dis-cussed today.

Female authors during the renais-sance romantic period were too few and only Lady Mary Worth was cred-ited with being able to express differ-ent themes within her work.

Worth had a different “style” of writing and expressing more emo-tion through literary works than most male authors of her era.

These topics will be discussed at 5 p.m. today in the Lecture Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

English professor Julie Campbell will be discussing the “Writing Re-naissance Emblem: Hearts on Fire in the First Part of the Countess of Montgomery’s Urania.”

Campbell will be speaking during the annual faculty lecture sponsored by the Eastern Humanities center.

This series allows faculty members to discuss subjects and themes the students would be interested in.

The theme in this year’s lecture is transformations and how Worth “transformed” different aspects of her own pop-culture through three key enchantment scenes in romance, Campbell said.

“A person has to almost be a his-tory buff to understand the complex writings of the Renaissance romance,” Campbell said. “Students will be able to learn how the history and popular culture elements were written to be interconnected together.”

Campbell, like other faculty mem-bers, said she is working with the hu-manities’ center to help shed light on the fact that if students attend and participate in these lectures students will be able to understand the differ-ent disciplines within humanities.

Campbell said they also want to show that the different areas of hu-manities can work together and bring diverse elements of their areas togeth-er.

“The students won’t be disappoint-ed if they attend the lecture because

they will be able to gain an insight to understanding the Renaissance ro-mance literature and it will also help students learn more about the hu-manities center and its hope for the students,” Campbell said.

Two other faculty members Dana Ringuette, department chair of Eng-lish, and Jeannie Ludlow, assistant professor of English, agreed that this year’s lecture will be very interesting and beneficial to Eastern students.

“The lecture will absolutely be beneficial to the students because of two reasons. The first is that Dr. Campbell serves as a role model and someone for the students to aspire to because of the awards she has won for her research,” Ludlow said. “The sec-ond reason is that her research reaches across different areas of interests that students study and it reaches across the different boundaries grabbing stu-dents attention.”

Ringuette said students will get a chance to see Renaissance writings in a different light.

The learning and writing of Re-naissance writers, especially women writers, was not given as much ex-posure as some of the men and Dr. Campbell’s work has been instru-mental in changing that, Ringuette said. “Students will like it because it is a part history, literary interpretation, archival research and other interests that deal with humanities right now.”

The original version of Friday's editorial had several mistakes.

The editorial's core assertion that there are no such things as bars in Charleston because every establishment has to adhere to a 51/49 alcohol/food profit split is incorrect.

The only establishments that have that restric-tion are establishments with Class D Liquor Li-censes, which cost $1,100 annually to have.

The Daily Eastern News apologizes for the er-rors.

A square beyond compare

By Brad yorkVerge Editor

Spring is a season that brings a re-freshing smell into the air as the trees be-gin to bud and the winter chills become dormant. It is a time for new life to see the wonders of Charleston. With new life comes new ambitions. New ambitions mean new music, and for Charleston that means new events.

A fresh take on the Charleston festival scene is exactly what Scott Chaplinski has been planning for nearly a year with the event Square Fest.

“I started thinking in February that it was about time to get it going with every-thing going on with Celebration, Wood-chuck Music Festival, there’s finals, there’s Easter. I realized it was crunch time to get it going,” Chaplinski said.

Square Fest will begin at 2 p.m. Sat-urday through 1 a.m. Sunday. The event will take place on Charleston’s square at the bars Mother’s, Friends & Co., Mac’s Uptowner and Top of the Roc. The event will cost $12 and allow patrons 21 and over admittance into any of the bars and performances.

Chaplinski said getting the bars in-volved was the first part of organizing the event, and after he explained the potential benefits they jumped on board.

“I kind of just threw it out there,” Chaplinski said. “They’ve given me good ideas, and they appreciate the ideas that I have. They’ve been very helpful with ev-erything I’ve been doing.”

Chaplinski has been wanting to get the bars involved with a festival event for more than year and said he feels that now was the best time to bring it all together.

“We are hoping it brings a lot of busi-ness to the square,” Chaplinski said. “We hope it is going to be a nicer day. It’s a good window of a month and a half of good weather to show all these people,

‘Hey there are all these other great bars in town, and not just the ones near Lincoln (Avenue.).”

Many of the featured acts will be Charleston based groups such as Mug-wump Specific, Andy Van Slyke and Staff Blues Band while others such as DJ Illith, Poundcake and Ryan Arnold stem from locations throughout the state.

“I figure this was a great networking opportunity for a lot of bands,” Chaplins-ki said. “We are pulling in bands from the Kankakee area, and some musicians from Champaign area. It’s bands that I like, and I know that other people (like).”

Chaplinski said most of them are younger bands that have only been play-ing for a year or two and that many times a band that has been playing for four to five years need a guarantee that they are getting paid.

“Having never done anything like this before I didn’t want to make promises to a bunch of people that I can’t fulfill.” Chap-linski said.

In fact, much of the money for pro-ducing the event was saved up by Chap-linski himself. He hopes that the $12 cov-er is enough to give some of the traveling bands money to cover their gas costs and without being too high to deter college students and community members from coming out.

One local musician, Mitch Davis, a senior management information sys-tems major, saod he plans on showing the crowd some new tunes to commemorate the new event.

“I mainly like to get people dancing, but I also play some more chill stuff,” Davis said. “I don’t want people to get burnt out, so I’ll make new songs before the shows. New shows get me motivated to make new songs. (Square Fest) is go-ing to be so new. There’s going to be so many different people playing at so many different bars. I don’t really know what to

expect. That’s why I am expecting to play in front of a totally new crowd, so I really got to try to pump people up.”

With a wide variety of performances including blues, rock, jam band, electron-ic and rap everyone is beginning to de-velop expectations for the new event and Chaplinski is no different.

“I want to be able to be out on the square, outside the bars and see people

having a good time,” Chaplinski said. “I want to hear, sort of over-hear, what they did like and what they didn’t like. I just think there will be a lot of good vibes coming. Perfect conditions for me, is hearing that people had a great time.”

Square Fest provides stage for new music, new bands and new surroundings

Jackson Avenue Coffee (J.A.C.) is a location to go blow-off steam, study for hours on end and socialize as the creamy fragrance of lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates stream though the air.

J.A.C., located at 708 Jackson Ave., may sound like an unusual place for a concert setting, but Dan Reible believes it is the perfect location for live music that has not been offered to Charleston in some time.

“In the Charleston area there is no place to relax and listen to music except for a bar,” Reible said. “I’d like a place where people can come relax, have a cup of coffee, sandwich, bagel and take it easy and listen to some good acoustic music.”

Reible and his wife Vicki are currently shuffling through papers in order to become the rightful owners of J.A.C.

Reible moved to Mattoon in 1984 after serving in the Navy and soon became a truck driver, traveling the nation with his wife.

Reible has played for various bands in the past and mentioned to his friend, Ryan Dawson and the current owner of J.A.C., he was looking for a place to host weekly concerts on Saturday evenings.

Dawson then asked Reible if he ever pictured himself owning a café. Reible expressed an interest, and soon, Dawson offered to sell the business.

Dawson said the Reibles’ have been his customers since J.A.C. opened nearly eight years ago.

“I planned on going back to school this summer to complete a degree in teacher’s certification,” Dawson said. “We were ready to move on to new things. I figured it is best not to run anything into the ground, so I offered to sell the place.”

Dawson has high hopes for

the future of J.A.C. and feels as as though hosting live musicians every Saturday night is only the beginning of the growth J.A.C. will see.

The first Saturday night performer will be “Reverend” Robert Reynolds Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m. at J.A.C.

None of the performances will come with a cover cost, but instead a hat will be passed around around for donations, which go entirely to the artist.

Robert Reynolds is a musician who plays blues music from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ’40s, and is glad Reible is opening his doors to local musicians.

Reynolds said he has known Reible for a while because they have been playing music together through the years.

“It is good to play one close to home. This is more intimate than the festivals and blues bars I’ve been playing at lately,” Reynolds said. “I play electric when I’m with my band, but this show will be all acoustic.”

The intimate setting offers a place for begging and practiced musicians alike.

Reible wants to show people in Charleston music they may not have heard before.

He plans to host various artists from various genres each weekend.

“I’ve got things booked all the way through the end of June,” Reible said. “It’s mostly people I have heard in the area and a lot of local musicians. We are open

to all different styles. It doesn’t matter if I personally like it or not. It’s whatever I think our customers will like.”

Reible said his customers are an eclectic group, and notices that he has a lot of high schoolers come there every evening. He said parents know it is a safe place.

Reible said he is open to any style of music and musicians who are interested in performing the Saturday night events should come out to J.A.C. Open Mic Night every Thursday.

These open mic sessions are used as auditions of sorts for the diverse music Reible hopes to incorporate with the Saturday night performances.

In addition to the open mic night artists, Reible searches the Web and various local music hot spots in order to find performers.

“I’m hoping to get a lot of music in here that people haven’t experienced before,” Reible said. “People may have heard blues, but it probably isn’t the old delta blues that (Reverend Robert) will be playing.”

The 7th Street Underground will turn into a concert venue tonight at 5:30 as the Colleges Against Cancer group hosts its sec-ond Rock it for Relay concert.

The benefit concert will feature the three local bands Good Morning Midnight, Cured by Fire and Madison’s Avenue, and one solo musician, Jenna Jackley.

Tickets are $5 at the door and can be purchased starting at 5 p.m.

All proceeds go to the Colleges Against Cancer’s Relay for Life team, and will ul-timately be given to the American Cancer Society.

Kyle Swalls, guitarist and vocalist for Good Morning Midnight, has witnessed the devastation of cancer first hand. Swalls said his grandma is fighting against cancer.

“It’s a constant struggle dealing with it,” Swalls said. “A lot of time the chemo won’t be as effective, and they will try a new method and stuff. And so just know-ing the constant struggle makes me want to do something like this and raise money for an individual who is having the same, who is dealing with the same kind of suffering.”

This band along with Cured by Fire is playing at Friends & Co. later in the eve-ning. They were willing to book two gigs in one night to show their support.

“We feel that playing this gig will al-low people to see that rock and roll and the whole style of it isn’t just about being on your own and not really caring about any-one else,” Logan Richardson, Madison’s Av-

enue lead singer, said. “We really do care about the issue of

breast cancer and cancer in general,” Rich-ardson continued. “Because some people

close to us have had it and, luckily, they have recovered from it.”

Many of the bands playing are new to Eastern’s campus. Richardson said perform-ing at the concert would be an opportunity to expose students to a different kind of lo-cal music.

Good Morning Midnight is an indie and alternative rock band. Beginning near-ly a year ago and stationed in Marshall, the group is fresh to the Charleston music scene, but has played in the 7th Street Un-derground before for a canned food drive.

Cured by Fire is a Charleston metal band. Megan Givens, the concert coordi-nator said the group sounds similar to Me-tallica or Godsmack and does a good job of getting a crowd going. Their influenc-es come from those bands and others like Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue and Black Sabbath.

Jenna Jackley is a Mattoon High School student who plays the guitar and sings.

“She is just memorizing to watch,” Me-gan Givens said. “She is in high school, so she is still very young, but the caliber of voice she has is just amazing.”

Madison’s Avenue is another young al-ternative rock band from Charleston that has been putting out their own music for eight months. The group has played all over Charleston, in Havana and in Centralia, but tonight will be one of their first times playing on campus.

Givens, a junior elementary education major, said all the bands are hard working and were booked because they came recom-mended by other artists.

The Colleges Against Cancer has raised more than $5,000 through their fall breast cancer T-shirt sales and other fundrais-ers. They have pledged to raise $8,000, and across campus different groups have pledged to raise $70,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Last year, the concert drew a small crowd, but Givens is hoping for more pub-lic support.

“What ever little amount can put to-wards the American Cancer Society will help in some way,” Givens said.

The third annual “That’s Good-ness” benefit concert brought togeth-er students, faculty and friends of the late David F. Tanner on Saturday.

The concert, held in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union, featured several musical groups as well as a silent auc-tion.

Ron Gholson, the organizer of the event and close friend of Tanner, said he left the fund very open as to where the money would go.

“(The jazz studies program) can use the money for sheet music, scholar-ships, neckties for the band, or how-ever they want to use it,” Gholson said.

The silent auction, which has al-ways been a part of the benefit con-cert, featured a variety of items for all ages, including art, wines, event tick-

ets and getaways.“This year, all the wineries I visit-

ed in southern Illinois were very gen-erous with their donations,” Gholson said.

The artists who contributed to the auction also donated their work, he said.

Music for the event was performed by Sawyer Brothers Band, Moon Dogs, the Men of Phi Mu Alpha Sin-fonia. Jazz and Swinging Dance Mu-sic was also performed by Eastern Jazz Students.

Gholson said he is excited for an-other event honoring Tanner, which will take place in April.

The jazz ensemble will recognize the endowment and dedicate a special selection to Tanner at its concert on April 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

“Sam Fagaly will announce it from the stage in memory of David,” Ghol-son said. “That’s all I ever wanted

them to do.”David F. Tanner died on Jan. 26,

2009, and Gholson said he spent the next nine months working with the EIU Foundation to create a memori-al honoring his life and his passion for music. The endowment, The David Frank Tanner/Ronald Eugene Ghol-son Endowed Fund Celebrating the “Goodness” of Music, was approved in Oct. 2009.

“(Tanner) never carried grudges and he was always very forgiving and happy,” Gholson said.

Gholson said he was happy with the turnout for the event and is look-ing forward to remembering Tanner at the concert in April.

“I wish he was still here, but look-ing around, he still is,” Gholson said, looking around at the people at the concert.

Concert benefits jazz program

By Robyn Dexter Campus Editor

Campus Special, a countrywide marketing program, has begun re-viewing applications for its summer internship at Eastern.

Jennifer Gress, the account man-ager for Campus Special, said the internship program they sponsor is unlike other internships.

“Students will work directly with business owners in Charleston,” she said.

Campus Special i s known at Eastern for providing the $100 cou-pon book loaded with local savings at the beginning of the term.

“This isn’t the typical internship program that only allows students to file paperwork, fetch coffee, or handle clerical tasks,” Gress said.

Interns of the Campus Special program gain a different experience, she said.

“On a daily basis, students visit the most popular businesses around Eastern, build relationships with the owners, negotiate deals and sign contracts with them,” Gress said.

Interns will get a chance to at-tend an all-expense paid, four-

day training conference in Atlanta. This conference will give the stu-dents a jumpstart on the program and prepare them for success in their internship, Gress said.

Interns of the program gain expe-rience in the business world, as well as get paid and stay in Charleston.

“After students complete our pro-gram, we have a Career Partners Network set up to help them land full-time positions,” she said.

Gress said the programs Campus Special is partnered with more than 50 companies that look to hire past interns.

“Students let us know which of our partners they are interested in and we send their resumes directly to them,” she said.

Companies Campus Special is partnered with included Fortune 500 companies such as AT&T, ESPN, Enterprise, ADP and News Marketing America.

“(Interns) will learn all aspects of sales and marketing while improv-ing communication skills, gaining confidence and becoming a young professional,” Gress said.

Students can apply for the in-ternship online at www.campusspe-cial.com/internship or contact Jen-nifer Gress at [email protected].

The Faculty Development Of-fice is sponsoring a workshop that would provide faculty members with tips on how to avoid making an “ugly website.”

Roxane Gay, an English profes-sor, will present the workshop titled “No Excuses for an Ugly Website,” and will provide some tips for those who are struggling online.

Gay said she will show faculty an easy and effective way to share their research.

The workshop is scheduled from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Gregg Technology Center.

Gay said she will use WordPress to teach faculty how to improve

their online presence. WordPress is an open content

management system and was first released in May 2007 by Web De-veloper Matt Mullenweg.

WordPress includes features in-cluding an easy selection of profes-sional templates, widgets and plug-ins.

According to the workshop de-scription, a website should reflect the excitement of what the creator is showcasing, and the workshop will address solutions to problems many website creators face.

In addition, WordPress accounts are free, user friendly and can be ac-cessed through smart phones.

For his incumbent campaign, President Obama has decided to run against Congress, and I think it may be the best political decision he’s made. After years of filibusters and a per-petual lack of cooperation, he has clearly had it with congressional nonsense, and not a mo-ment too soon—dissatisfaction with the leg-islative branch is at an all-time high. For vot-ers, the president’s recent State of the Union address was underscored with a sense of light-ing the proverbial fire: he repeatedly beseeched lawmakers to “Put it in a bill, and get it on my desk.”

While a lot of the speech was predictably rah-rah, it was nice to hear some positive rheto-ric about my U.S. of A. Naturally, the president began with a recap of the most campaign-y suc-cesses of his first term: killing Osama and end-ing the war in Iraq. He spent about two min-utes toasting this wartime success before cut-ting into the meat, which was American manu-facturing and how to make it happen.

He reminded voters of the 4 million jobs the country lost in the six months before he took office, and of the million jobs his administra-tion rescued along with the American auto in-dustry. In a call to arms for business owners, the president asked: “What can you do to bring jobs back home?” and promised federal help for those willing to answer.

This led to the tax code, and the many ways in which it needs revision. In a huge under-statement, the president proposed ending tax

breaks to companies who outsource jobs, espe-cially when they outsource those jobs to avoid paying taxes. Despite the glaring simplicity of this logic, House Majority Leader Eric Can-tor looked like he was trying to decipher hiero-glyphics the entire time.

Another focus of the speech was education, especially at the post-secondary level. The pres-ident proposed extending the tuition tax cred-it for middle-class families, preventing stu-dent loan rates from doubling over the sum-mer and doubling available work-study jobs for students. He put the responsibility on states to keep higher-education costs down or risk cuts in federal funding.

Additionally, Obama tackled issues of immi-gration reform (seriously—give them a chance), equal pay for equal work (Ladies!), and innova-tion and research investments (so we can keep inventing useless stuff like the Internet).

The president made no bones about blaming banks for their monumental fudge, proposing “living wills” for how they plan to handle di-

sasters, as well as stronger regulation to prevent the frequent instances of financial fraud.

When he began discussing American energy, and how we should probably stop subsidizing oil companies, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s chin disappeared completely into his gullet. It hid there until after the bit about campaign finance reform. President Obama went on to refuse to pass more faithfully use-less Bush tax cuts, because giving millionaires tax breaks is fundamentally ridiculous. He then awesomely promised to do all of these with or without this Congress. Boom.

Then it got kind of weird… The president basically swore a blood-oath to prevent a nu-clear Iran. Loosely quoted, he said that if Iran continues to shirk their responsibilities, let there be no doubt that he would take no option off the table and will not back down on this is-sue. He then ambiguously referenced the “en-during power of our moral example” (I know, I’m cynical—but what is that?) before lighten-ing things up with “our ironclad commitment to Israel.”

Anyway. Perhaps you, like House Speak-er John Boehner, find yourself rolling your eyes. You’ve still got to admit, comparatively, it sounds like our current president has the next election staked.

Obama finally decides to run against Congress

By Beth Clothier Western Courier Western Illinois University

In last Monday’s GOP debate, presidential hope-ful Mitt Romney stated that when it came to ille-gal immigrants, he favored a policy of “self-depor-tation” rather than federally-mandated programs or policies that would, in effect, round up these peo-ple and return them to their home countries.

“The answer is self-deportation, which is peo-ple decide they can do better by going home be-cause they can’t find work here because they don’t have legal documentation to allow them to work here,” Romney said, according to the San Francis-co Chronicle.

Basically, what this means is that the government would make life so miserable for these people that they would actually be forced to leave the coun-try. According to Mother Jones, Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies explained how the United States might implement a self-deporta-tion program in 2005: “Among the other measures that would facilitate enforcement: hiring more U.S. Attorneys and judges in border areas, to allow for more prosecutions; passage of the CLEAR Act, which would enhance cooperation between feder-al immigration authorities and state and local po-lice; and seizing the assets, however modest, of ap-prehended illegal aliens.”

However, Krikorian went on to state that these already overwhelming measures would not be enough. Instead, “virtual choke points” would have to be created, working much like firewalls in com-

puter systems, that would only allow those people with legal citizenship status to pass through. This would include restrictions on employment, medical treatment, education and housing, making it as dif-ficult as possible for illegal immigrants to remain in the United States and live a normal life.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the federal government experimented with self-depor-tation under the Bush Administration. In 2008, the government gave illegal immigrants up to 90 days to leave the country. The program lasted only two-and-a-half weeks, and only eight volunteers stepped forward. Following the failure of the program, im-migration officials said that they would intensi-fy their efforts toward removing illegal immigrants from the country.

Nevermind the social and moral implications that a plan such as self-deportation would have.

Nevermind the fact that you are basically hounding and bullying other human beings, re-moving what dignity they have while causing them to suffer until they eventually break, and all just because “they ain’t from ‘round these parts.” And adults aren’t the only ones to feel the sting - chil-dren will also be suffering, because their parents will be too afraid of their status being questioned to take them to school or to the doctor, regardless of whether or not the child was born in the United States and is therefore a citizen.

In response to the growing movement for self-deportation, which sounds a lot nicer and cleaner on paper, as long as you don’t mention all that nas-ty stuff about making it hard for people to obtain even the most basic needs, an organization called

Patriots for Self-Deportation has sprung up. I ad-mit, at first I was a little taken in because the cre-ators of the group certainly know how to employ rhetoric, but after an investigation of its website (www.selfdeport.org), I was glad to discover that it was all a clever satire.

Purporting to be a group of patriotic citizens who so love the United States and all it stands for that it would help others who discovered an ille-gal immigrant in their ancestry return to the moth-erland, the group actually calls attention to the ab-surdity of self-deportation, and honestly, deporta-tion in general. The group states on its website that it “believes that securing our borders is not enough. We must make sure that all residents and ‘citizens’ have a true right to be in this great land. We be-lieve our current laws must be changed to abolish anchor babies, whose children, throughout history, should have never received automatic citizenship to this nation. If the Federal government will not take action now, then it is up to us, We the People, to put an end to the invasion and internal decay that threatens to destroy the fabric of the USA.”

If anything, the internal decay has a lot less to do with the fact that people come to the United States in search of a better life, and more to do with the fact that we live in a nation where bills that al-low legal bullying of homosexuals can be serious-ly introduced. Or that this is a country where the government is more concerned with people shar-ing files over the internet than combating real issues like unemployment, poverty or the inaccessibility to decent healthcare for all.

AROUND THE STATE

Smart students have already started apply-ing for financial aid for the 2012-2013 aca-demic year. Money is a great thing and the less of your own that you have to spend, the better.

But, we don’t want you to only put your eggs in one basket. It’s no secret that federal and state budgets are running a severe deficit, bringing heavy cuts across the board.

Unfortunately, funding to higher education has also taken a hit.

The average college student in 2011 gradu-ated with a whopping $22,900 in debt— the highest average debt ever, according to CNN.

This is an 8 percent increase from last year and a 50 percent increase from a decade ago.

Illinois—along with states like Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes-see and Vermont—has implemented a first-come, first-serve approach. This means that if you don’t file with FAFSA within the first two months, then you are most likely screwed.

Mark Kantrowitz, the publisher of FinAid.org, told USAToday that states awarding on a first-come basis will probably exhaust all of their available aid by March or April.

By completing a FAFSA form, students are eligible for more than $10,000 in federal and state financial aid, depending on the financial needs of the applicants.

Another well-known, if not controversial, grant is Illinois’ $400 million Monetary Award Program, or MAP grant.

However, some grants, like the Pell grant, are directly dependent on the cost of attending the university.

We suggest students apply for their grants and loans ASAP, but we also urge all students to look to alternative scholarship opportuni-ties.

According to its website, the average cost to attend Eastern for the 2011-2012 school year was $22,736 for an in-state undergraduate stu-dent taking 15 credit hours with a 12-meal plan.

Eastern’s Office of Financial Aid does have a scholarship section that can help you narrow down the scholarship search by your year in school and major.

The new Facebook application “My College Dollars,” which is the product of MTV, the College Board, Get Schooled campaign and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is just short of brilliant.

The application was the brainchild of then high school senior Devin Valencia, who was overwhelmed while filing out her own FAFSA.

The application uses the information taken from your Facebook page and gives you differ-ent scholarship suggestions. It also allows stu-dents to ask experts questions while keeping a calendar of important dates.

Students can also look forward to seeing video tutorials from celebrities and musicians like Jason Derulo to explain different kinds of financial aid.

Now is the time to start getting your financ-es worked out for next year. Do it now before the money is gone.

“There’s a lot more pressure on us taking the test, you can just feel the pressure in the room taking it,” Oshona said. “Now it’s getting harder and hard-er for us to pass the test. Jumping from a passing score of 50 percent to 80 per-cent is not fair.”

Staci Brocious, a sophomore special education and early childhood major, said the increase in prices are unneces-sary.

“There’s no point to raise the prices that much for taking it on the comput-er,” she said. “You shouldn’t have to pay that much for just taking one section.”

Amanda Korduck, a junior Spanish major with teacher certification, said that she sympathizes for bad test takers, but she is happy they raised the passing scores.

“I’m happy they raised the scores, I want the best for the future,” Korduck said. “We’re the future educators of Illi-nois. I want teachers of Illinois to be the best of the best.”

A positive of the test being changed is that people who were unable to pass the test prior to the score changing, are now able to take the test five more times, Korduck said.

Kim said anyone with questions about the cost and changes should go to www.icts.nesinc.com or www.eiu.edu/basicskillstest.

BASIC SKILLS, from page 1

By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

Editor’s Note: This is the first install-ment of a series of Noel-Levitz consulting articles.

It takes a village to re-cruit a stu-dent, the pro-vost said, so Eastern hired the Noel-Lev-itz Enrollment Management Consulting Services to address recruit-ment along with two other issues.

Eastern’s one and a half year contract with Noel-Levitz extends to June 30, 2013, and costs about $167,000.

Three consultants from Noel-Levitz were assigned to each of the areas con-sisting of: Colleen Murphy, marketing and recruitment; David Trites, reten-tion; and Cliff Neel, enrollment man-agement revenue services.

Blair Lord, the provost and vice pres-ident for academic affairs, said they have started to act on some of the pre-liminary recommendations the consul-

tants offered from their first visit cycle. “In admissions, we have purchased

some more prospect names, carefully selected based on (the consultants’) ad-vice to enlarge the (enrollment) pool for Fall 2012,” Lord said.

Certain companies, such as the ACT, sell name and address files to public in-stitutions, and Eastern bought an ad-ditional 20,000 prospect names, Lord said.

The amount of purchased names varies each year depending on prospec-tive student interest in applying to East-ern.

Lord said Eastern might choose to purchase 40,000 names one year and none the next.

The suggestions from the prelimi-nary consulting reports stem from three key themes, one of which is to improve enrollment coordination, Lord said

“Right now, enrollment services are spread along all four vice presidencies, and a prospect who is going to become a student is touched by all of these of-fices,” Lord said.

The Academic Affairs Office han-dles admissions, and the Student Affairs Office oversees financial aid along with

housing and dining, and New Student Programs. The University Advancement Office directs marketing, and the Busi-ness Affairs Office manages billings and payment plans, Lord said.

The other key themes are to gather and use data more efficiently regarding admissions, recruitment and registra-tion process, and to develop a strategic plan for enrollment management.

Brenda Major, the director of the ad-missions office, said she worked with Noel-Levitz consultants at two prior in-stitutions.

“They've helped hundreds of colleg-es and universities through their enroll-ment challenges,” Major said. “There is no issue they haven't tackled. I'm confi-dent they can help us.”

“We've been working through en-rollment and marketing challenges, goals and areas on which we need to fo-cus to impact 2012 and 2013,” Major said. “We're also planning strategies to strategically use financial aid to increase our enrollment numbers.”

“It was a very unique way to ex-press how they felt and get out a positive message,” Breezy said. “I thought it was amazing.”

Patricia Lawson, a resident of Hoffman Estates, said she found the last scene moving.

“It was positive and I wish it had been first because it was the main message of the show,” Lawson said.

Lawson s a id the l a s t s c ene showed unity between different rac-es, cultures and even schools.

“It shows it doesn’t matter what culture you are, we are all one,” Lawson said.

Moore said she enjoyed having her fashions on a different runway.

“It was a rush and it made me really proud,” Moore said. “The models did a really good job.”

Coco said she liked the fashions that were presented in the show.

Coco said, “I thought the designs were really creative, I love seeing people our age really expand their creativity and not be afraid to get their designs out.”

Breezy agreed.Porter said she thought the uni-

fication of the different modeling groups worked really well.

“Everybody all worked togeth-er, they practiced, and everything flowed nicely,” Porter said.

Moore said having a different au-dience was great.

“It felt better, because at ISU ev-erybody kind of knows me already, so going to a different college make the it more impactful,” Moore said.

Breezy said she liked the unity between the schools.

“To know that there are different schools here, with different mod-els, all coming together to unite as one and spread a positive message, I thought that was epic,” Breezy said. “I know a lot of colleges have rival-ries going on, I thought that was beautiful.”

Breezy said they really enjoyed the show.

“We are glad we got to be a part of this, there was a good vibe, a lot of positive energy, and I like the journey,” Breezy said.

Porter said she hopes everyone enjoyed the show and will help oth-ers.

“A message to everyone on cam-pus, just make sure we always up-lift others and not tear everyone down,” Porter said.

Staff Report

The Eastern women’s tennis team took a terrible loss overall to the Western Michigan Broncos on Friday, but one doubles team got the win. The team of sophomores Janelle Pris-ner and Merritt Whitley beat the duo of Kathleen Hawkins and Nini Sujsh-villi in two sets, 8-7 and 8-6.

The team of Shannon Brooks and Amanda Dibbs lost their match with a score of 8-1, losing to the team of April Kerr and Caroline Aleck of the Broncos, and the team of Kris-

ten Laird and Annie Egan also lost. They lost to the team of Maria Nivia and Jill Pastunink of Western Michi-gan 8-0.

In doubles action the Panthers went 1-2, but in singles the Panthers went 0-6 against the Western Michi-gan Broncos.

Western Michigan’s Nini Sujashvi-li defeated Janelle Prisner in two sets with the scores of 6-2, 6-0. Bronco’s Jill Pastunink beat Merritt Whitley winning in two sets 6-0, 6-0. Maria Nivia beat Jennifer Kim also in two sets 6-1, 6-2. Maggie Remynse won

her match against Amanda Dibbs in three sets 6-0, 4-6, 1-0 (10-4). Ra-chel Denny downed Sephora Boulba-haiem in two sets 6-0, 6-1 and Milo-slava Shustova also won in three sets, beating Shannon Brooks 4-6, 6-2, 1-0 (10-6).

Overall, the Broncos beat the Pan-thers with a score of 7-0. The Pan-thers also took on the Dayton Fly-ers over the weekend in Dayton, OH. Their next match is against Southern Illinois University-Carbondale on Sat-urday February 4th.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Panthers come up short in season opener

As a team, the Racers shot 51 percent from the field and out-re-bounded the Panthers 38-23.

The Panthers were led by Mill-er and sophomore forward Alfon-zo McKinnie. McKinnie scored 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting, while adding six rebounds and one steal.

Now the Panthers will head back home to Lantz Arena for a three-

game homestand. First up is South-east Missouri State. SEMO enters the game at 11-9 overall and 6-2 in the OVC. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday.

DANNY DAMIANI | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSSophomore forward Alfonzo McKinnie attempts to grab a rebound during a game against Austin Peay Jan. 21 in Lantz Arena. The Panthers lost 64-76 and will play Southeast Missouri today at 7 p.m. in Lantz Arena.

Despite, Nixon and King being held in check, Sallee said the Pan-thers had plenty of other capable scorers.

“Jacksonville State made a con-certed effort to keep Mariah out of the game,” Sallee said. “They got after Ta’Kenya in transition and guarded her well.”

The Panthers got big contribu-tions from junior forward Sydney Mitchell, who led the team in scor-ing with 14 points. Senior forward Chantelle Pressley scored 12 points. Red-shirt freshman guard Katlyn Payne came off the bench to score nine points.

Sallee said Pressley benefited from a lot of focus being on King, but also scored the way she usual-ly does — by getting rebounds, put-

backs and getting to the free throw line.

Payne scored al l of her nine points from the three-point line.

“Katlyn basically played H-O-R-S-E out there, taking open shots,” Sallee said.

The Panthers also got contri-butions from junior guard Kelsey Wyss with eight points and fresh-man forward Sabina Oroszova with seven points.

The Panthers are headed straight from Jacksonville, Ala. to Murray, Ky. where they’ll play Murray State at 7 p.m. Monday.

The Associated Press

The odds had to overwhelmingly be in Chicago’s favor. Down by a point with 22.7 seconds left, with Derrick Rose heading to the line to shoot a pair of free throws.

The reigning NBA MVP. He was a perfect 29 for 29 from the foul line in the fourth quarter this season. As if this moment needed extra significance, it was coming against the Miami Heat, the team that downed Rose and the Bulls in last season’s Eastern Confer-ence finals by taking the series’ last four games.

Rose missed the first.

Missed the second, too.And missed a potentially game-tying

jumper with 3.7 seconds left to boot, as somehow the Heat held on for a wild 97-93 win on Sunday. LeBron James — the player who Rose supplanted as the league MVP — scored 35 points for Miami, which never trailed yet nev-er could relax until Chris Bosh sealed it by making two free throws with 0.1 seconds left.

“This is so surreal right now knowing that I had a chance to win the game,” said Rose, emotional at his locker af-terward. “And this time it didn’t work out.”

Bosh scored 24 points and added

12 rebounds for the Heat (15-5), who got 15 points from Dwyane Wade and pulled within one game of the Bulls (17-5) in the East.

“I let my team down,” Rose said.It had a little of everything. James

leaped over — yes, over — Chicago’s 5-foot-11 John Lucas for an alley-oop dunk from Wade in the opening min-utes, saying afterward he never saw the Bulls’ guard in his path. Wade missed nine of his first 10 shots, airballing the last of those

Notes: James had a large icepack strapped to his right shoulder during a first-half stint of rest.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

The Eastern women’s basket-ball team set the record for best start to a season Saturday with a win over Jacksonville State, but it wasn’t pretty.

The Panthers, now 16-4, set the record for the best start in program history. The previous best was in the 1982-1983 season when the Panthers were 15-5.

The Panthers had started the second half with the lead, but went 1-for-11 from the field to start the half. The Panthers also committed 18 turnovers in the game, which they won 71-55.

Eastern head coach Brady Sal-lee said the Panthers had to keep taking shots in the second half before they started making them.

After the 1-for-11 start in the second half, the Panthers finished the game 9-for-17 and never lost the lead.

Just as the Panthers were strug-gling, Jacksonville State was too. The Panthers held the Game-cocks to 33 percent shooting from the field.

The Panthers may have been turning the ball over too much, but Sallee said the Panthers con-tinued to dominate defensively and in the rebounding battle.

The Panthers also held the Gamecocks’ stars in check. Des-tiny Lane only had 11 points, to lead her team. Danielle Vaughn was held to eight points. Briana Morrow was held to four points and fouled out of the game.

“That was definitely what we needed there,” Sallee said.

Likewise, the Gamecocks also held the Panthers’ stars in check. Junior guard Ta’Kenya Nixon had seven points, while junior forward Mariah King had five. However, the difference came from the other contributors.

By Rob Mortell Staff Reporter

No. 9 Murray State jumped out to an ear-ly 8-0 lead against Eastern's men's basketball team, and they never looked back on their way to their 21st consecutive victory.

The Racers were led by guards Donte Poole and Isaiah Canaan. Canaan scored the first five points of the game, helping Murray get off to a fast start. Both Canaan and Poole fin-ished the game with 18 points.

Continuing their fast start to the game, the Racers grabbed a 19-7 lead with 12:05 left in the first half; however, Eastern would answer with a 9-0 run, closing the gap to 19-16.

Despite grabbing some momentum with that run the Panthers would not get closer than three points for the rest of the game. At halftime, Murray State would lead 36-25.

The Racers started heating up from beyond the three-point line and pushed the lead to 26 points with a little under 13 minutes to play.

Freshman guard Joey Miller did all he could to bring the Panthers back into the game. He scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half, including nine points in the final four minutes of play.

The newcomer could not bring Eastern back as the Panthers lost 73-58. The loss marks the fifth consecutive loss for the Pan-thers as they now drop to 2-6 in the Ohio Valley Conference, and 9-11 overall. While Murray State remains a perfect 9-0 in confer-ence play, and 21-0 overall.

Murray State got an exceptional perfor-mance from junior forward Ed Daniel. Dan-iel grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds, includ-ing four offensive rebounds. He also added five assists, one block and one steal, but he scored just five points.

Staff Report

Red-shir t senior Zye Boey swept both of h i s indiv idu-al events, winning the men’s 60-meter and 200-meter dash.

Boey won the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.75 seconds, edg-ing out senior Kind Butler of the host Indiana Hoosier’s. Butler finished in second place with a time of 6.79 seconds. Butler, like Boey, was an All-American last season. Boey and Butler compet-ed against each other in last sea-son’s NCAA Indoor Champion-ship in College Station, Texas. In that race, Boey again edged out

Butler, with Boey finishing in 7th place in front of Butler.

The two met again in the same event this year, with Boey again finishing in front of But-ler. Boey won the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.07 sec-onds. The time set the Indiana Gladstein Fieldhouse record, which previously stood at 21.17 seconds, set by John Story of In-diana State in 1989.

Butler, who again finished in second place behind Boey, re-corded a time of 21.47 seconds.

Though Boey set a Gladstein Fieldhouse record, two other Panthers broke Eastern records.

Junior distance runner Erika Ramos set the Eastern mile run record with a time of 4:53.67. The t ime beats the previous Eastern record of 4:54.4 by Mar-garet Smith in 1984. Ramos,

who set the school 6K record during cross country season, came close to breaking the mile run record earlier in the season. At the team’s first meet of the season, the Early Bird, Ramos was just half a second off from breaking the record.

Also breaking an Eastern re-cord was red-shirt junior run-ner Sean Wiggan 600-meter run with a time of 1:19.70.
