Eastern administrators are using attrition to compensate for the total 58 faculty members who either retired or were not rehired during the 2013-14 academic year.
The teacher pension rate of return changed from 7.5 percent to 8 percent under the Teach-er’s Retirement System of the State of Illinois, ef-fective June 2014, according to the TRS website.
Blair Lord, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, said the change caused profes-sors to retire early.
“Because of the discussions and ambiguities regarding what will happen to the state pen-sion programs for people, some people felt they needed to retire before they got (the) ‘short end of the stick’ on an agreement over there,” Lord said.
As a result of retirees during the 2013-14 ac-ademic year, the university currently has a total shortage of 26 Unit A, 14 Unit B, and 18 non-negotiated faculty members for the 2014-15 ac-ademic year.
The number of Unit A members decreased from last year’s academic year from 394 to 368.
Unit B members went down from 173 last year to 159 this year.
Non-negotiated faculty numbers dropped from 90 last year to 64.
A total of 121 faculty positions went vacant, but 63 of the positions were filled with either new hires or position redistribution.
Lord said the new hires only make up for those who retired the previous year, making it difficult to catch up with the continuous change of retiree numbers.
“The ones we hire for next fall are really the ones replacing the ones that retired a year ago, so there is always a delayed reaction in there, which makes it a fairly tricky management issue of the workforce,” Lord said.
A total of 35 Unit A and B faculty vacant positions were retirees, with 25 members from Unit A and 10 members from Unit B.
Lord said retirement numbers were signifi-cantly high for the 2014-15 academic year.
“One thing we do know about last year is that 25 retirements out of Unit A was an unusually high number,” he said. “That is not likely to be repeated this year.”
Lord said the typical number of retirees for Unit A faculty is between 15 to 18.
He said the number of Unit B retirees nearly doubled from the normal number of retirees be-ing 5 to 6 faculty members.
Lord said Eastern must maximize the advan-tage of attrition in order to decrease university expenditures within divisions, as recommend-ed by the Council on University Planning and Budgeting
“Ninety percent of the division of academic affairs budget is tied up in people,” he said. “In order to get to a reduction of expenditures at the level that the division was expected to achieve, I had to take advantage of a lot of departures.”
Lord said using attrition is the alternative that was used save money while remaining fair.
“The only way to really get savings out of that is to have fewer people working,” he said.

The art of “catfishing” was brought to the campus Tuesday evening when Nev Schulman discussed his viewpoints on rela-tionships, honesty, identity and self-esteem, especially on the Internet.
Schulman, a popular host, producer and photographer best known for his MTV show “Catfish,” helps those who believe they may be deceived by the other end of an online relationship.
One who is “catfished” is misled about the appearance or identity of the person they are talking to online.
Though it was his first time at Eastern, Schulman said he has recently been in the area. Kankakee was the location of a taping for the fourth season of “Catfish.”
A factor affecting Schulman’s popularity is because of his own experience in being “catfished.”
Schulman was involved in an online re-lationship, but when he met the woman he though he had been speaking to online, she was a woman in her 40’s with a husband.
Despite the negative impact some may think this would have on a person’s life, Schulman chose to look at it in a positive light.
The intent of “Catfish” is not to spread a bad light on those who hurt you, Schulman said, but to appreciate those who make you a better person. Those people are your cat-fish because they get you through your day-to-day life.
“I urge you to keep finding people that can be the catfish for you,” he said.
Schulman released his first book titled “In Real Life,” in September. The ideas he writes about in his book were the main top-ics he discussed at his presentation.
“I realized I had a story that was unique,” Schulman said. “There’s so many feelings and complications and shades of gray in life, so I wanted to talk about those sorts of things more.”
Schulman said he began to give talks on college campuses because of the age demo-graphic he can reach out to.

A property tax referendum to ensure funds for the Kansas School District will be on the ballot on Election Day for Coles County voters.
The proposition from the Kansas School Board asks for property taxes to be increased to 2.19 percent for the next three years for Coles, Clark, and Edgar counties in Illinois.
According to Kansas School Board minutes from the past year, Kansas School District No. 3 has been trying to find a way to ensure the school district can remain active. The school board min-utes reveal the Kansas School District is project-ing a $150,000 deficit in their funds.
This tax referendum comes after the faculty has already taken an 8 percent pay reduction for the next two years.
Jim Littleford, the Charleston School District superintendent, said the lack of funds for edu-
cational purposes is not isolated to the Kansas School District. He said the problem stems from the absence of support from the state of Illinois.
“The Charleston School District has lost $3.5 million in the last four years,” Littleford said.
Littleford said Charleston Schools have a bit more freedom when they deal with budget issues than a smaller district like Kansas would.
“In Charleston, I have a lot more leeway with budget reductions,” Littleford said, “Because we are a larger district, we can adjust class sizes and we have more faculty to maneuver.”
Littleford said the Charleston School District has tried something similar to Tuesday’s proposi-tion in the past.
“We’ve tried a one percent sales tax increase for funding in 2010 and 2014,” Littleford said, “The latest vote was denied by around one thousand votes.”
David Bartz, an education leadership profes-sor, said the education problem extends to more
schools than just Charleston’s immediate vicinity.“Last year for example, the state only gave all
Illinois school districts only about 89 percent of what they are supposed to give them,” Bartz said.
According to the Kansas School Board min-utes from the past year, Kansas School Dis-trict’s deficit in educational funding for the 2012-2013 school year was $588,000. At the time of the meeting last April, the projected deficit was $410,000 for the 2013-2014 school year.
Bartz noted Illinois’ financial troubles extend beyond just educational funding. He said until Illinois resolves these issues, schools will continue to face financial hardship.
“The bottom line is, until the state gets more revenue it’s going to be tough for schools,” Bartz said.

Although many students are look-ing forward to Halloween festivi-ties throughout the upcoming week, others have different celebrations in mind.
The University Board and the Lat-in American Student Organization will be hosting the “Dia de los Muer-tos Celebrations” from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Thursday at the Cultural Cen-ter, 600 E. Lincoln Ave. The event is free and open to the public.
Jessica Ashley, UB cultural arts co-ordinator, said the two organizations
will provide attendees with popular activities that go along with the cul-ture of the event.
“For the Day of the Dead event, we are doing traditional sugar skull dec-orating and food and drinks typical-ly known with this holiday, as well as mask painting, and an altar where people can bring and place items in memory of their loved ones,” Ashley said.
Both UB and LASO are working on making the Dia de los Muertos celebration more realistic to what one might experience in Mexico.
“This year’s event is focusing on in-corporating more of the traditional
aspects of the holiday, so that we can share as much of an authentic experi-ence with others,” Ashley said.
Ashley also said UB is working to-wards making the celebration some-thing that will become tradition.
“This will be the second year cul-tural Arts has done the Day of the Dead event,” she said. “We hope to make this into an annual event.”
Ashley said working in coordina-tion with LASO has helped make the event more traditional for the culture.
“Working with LASO has been a great experience for me,” she said. “I love learning about different cultures and traditions so with this event and
partnership, I have been able to in-dulge my curiosity as well as broad-en my knowledge of another culture.”
Ashley said she encourages students to participate in events, which differ from their culture because it provides them with a new understanding.
“Students should attend this event because it will be a fun way to get in-volved and experience another culture and its traditions,” she said.

As students pass by Old Main, out on Lin-coln Avenue, they pass an electronic marquee boasting images of Eastern, students and slo-gans.
The electronic marquee, and newest ad-dition to the campus, appeared a little more than a week ago — just in time for Home-coming.
The marquee had been planned since Au-gust 2013, and was through a gift fund.
Robert Martin, the vice president for uni-versity advancement, said the decision to pur-chase the electronic sign was made in an effort to better promote Eastern to the community.
“Plus to proudly welcome alumni, poten-tial students, graduating students families and
more to EIU,” he said. “It will also be used to promote events at
the Doudna Fine Arts Center, commence-ment and other news we want to share with the community.”
Martin said the marquee, which he added had received positive comments about during Homecoming, was a cost effective way to pro-mote Eastern, and was privately funded.
The sign and installation cost approximately $35,000, Martin said.
The Daktronics sign was purchased in the last fiscal year, August 2013, as a gift fund, and was installed by Indetiti Resources Limit-ed of Schaumburg.

The Interdisciplinary Center for Global Diversity will facilitate its second commu-nity coffee hour Nov. 7 at Jackson Avenue Coffee in the Charleston square.
The Center is comprised of students in the Africana Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American and Latino(a) Studies and Wom-en’s Studies programs.
The members work with various colleg-es and departments on Eastern’s campus as well as the Charleston community to en-courage awareness of issues concerning global diversity, ethnic and gender identi-ty and international studies, according to its website.
The Center is also a place where people can come if they need someone to talk to where they will not have to worry about be-ing judged.
One of the group’s goals is to promote diversity and understanding among various cultures as well as encourage dialogue be-tween the Eastern and Charleston commu-nities, according to a press release.
This is the second time the group will be holding the Community Coffee Hour event.
The f i rst meeting happened in Sept. 2013; issues about the racial climate of Charleston fueled most of the debate from the previous year.
Connie Clarkson, a clerk of the Africana Studies program, said the Center is not ex-pecting to see many changes between last year’s meeting and the one coming up.
“I thought last year’s discussion went well,” she said. “I would like to see more communication; I would like to see more relationships established.”
The event is not annual, but depending on how many people come to this meeting, it is possible that the meetings will happen more frequently, Clarkson said.
“I would like to see more people know-ing who they can go to in the community, or community members knowing who they can come to on campus if they would like
to talk about something,” Clarkson said.

This week in the city of Marysville, Wash., they’re remembering Zoe R. Galasso and Gia Soriano, two students who were killed in a shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School last Friday.
They’re also remembering a third per-son too, and it might come to the surprise of some. They’re remembering Jaylen Fryberg, the one who pulled the trigger before then turning the gun on himself.
Fryberg, a 15-year-old freshman football player who was named a prince on the school’s homecoming court just a week earlier, texted five friends and invited them down to lunch before killing two and wounding three others.
The others, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Andrew Fryberg (a cousin of the shooter) remain in critical condition. Nate Hatch, also a cousin of the shooter, was shot in the jaw and was updated to satisfactory condition on Monday.
The students of the school are mourn-ing the loss of Galasso, Soriano, and yes, Jay-len Fryberg, which might come as a shock to some.
According to a report in the Associated Press, students lined the chain-link fence out-side the high school with memorials and can-dles, some of them bearing the name “Jay-
len.” Hatch, one of the students injured in the shooting, took to Twitter to forgive, say-ing “I love you and I forgive you jaylen rest in peace.”
This is a reaction not commonly seen by us, the public, or even professionals. In the AP report, Carolyn Reinach Wolf, a mental health attorney who studies mass shootings said the response is “different.”
“This is a very different response,” she said. “Some of that is a credit to the community: People are able to get past the grief of the vic-tims and see that the shooter’s family is griev-ing and horrified just as much.”
When I read all this, I was pretty blown away. We all like to think of ourselves as for-giving people, but what Hatch did is certainly an amazing thing.
Some people have been critical of the
response, saying that it’s disrespectful to the victims to include a murderer in the memo-rials.
I disagree. If Hatch can find it within him-self to forgive someone who has permanently changed his life, I think others should be able to as well.
Hatch is only 14-years-old, and already, his life will never be the same. What he’s expe-rienced is an incredibly traumatic and diffi-cult experience. He’d be able to carry a grudge with him for the rest of his life. He could be angry, and I think a lot of people would say he has the right to be angry – but he’s not.
What this community doesn’t need is anger.
While the exact motives behind Jaylen’s actions aren’t yet clear, reports indicate that he had been having difficulty coping with loss and rejection from a female friend.
More anger isn’t what this community needs.
Forgiveness is a step in the right direction. Anger is what led to such a tragedy. Forgive-ness is the only way to move forward.

STAFF EDITORIAL
The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
The News is not a public relation vehicle
The purpose of The Daily Eastern News is not to promote Eastern; its purpose is to report about university topics and issues while remain-ing unbiased.
Some people have a difficult time digesting that because the word ‘Eastern’ is in the publica-tion’s name.
Any further relationship with the university essentially ends there.
Recently, criticism has surfaced toward The News, especially its sports section, because it does not promote athletic teams.
But here’s the thing: it is not supposed to.The News is not a public relations outlet. It is
not associated with the university.The News does not exist to make any part of
the university look good — or bad.If an athlete — or anyone of prominence —
is arrested or makes national news for negative reasons, it is The News’ job to cover it, just as it is The News’ job to cover the positives that happen throughout the community.
The News is not giving the university a bad reputation. If anything, the people committing the act are responsible for diminishing the uni-versity’s reputation.
The News did not commit the act. It is simply reporting on those who did.
For example, if there is a crime on campus, is The News just supposed to ignore it and not cover it, keeping the community oblivious to the issue?
Covering the crime and bringing it to the forefront would lessen the university’s reputa-tion, yes.
However, The News is not responsible for the crime happening. Therefore, The News is not the one damaging the university’s reputation.
All The News is simply doing is providing those on campus who deserve to know with as many true facts as possible.
Those who work for The News do not want to harm the reputation of anyone on campus. But at the same time, if something is newsworthy, then it must be covered.
Furthermore, we do not work for the universi-ty. The staff is employed by student publications as its own account.
Meaning, our job is not to promote the uni-versity, its athletics, organizations or anything for that matter.
When positive recognition is earned, it is giv-en. Just look at the football team the last two years. Page one for each Ohio Valley Conference championship, Jimmy Garoppolo as the 2013 Person of the Year?
Such negative criticism there.Or even if you just look at the last two games
for the Eastern football team this season.Impressive 52-13 and 28-3 wins against
Southeast Missouri and Tennessee State, respec-tively, have led to praise for the Panthers.
The News is reporting on those wins or those back-to-back championships. But don’t expect it to turn the other cheek when negative issues sur-face.
I believe those who genuinely know people that work for The News or those who genuine-ly understand the purpose of the media will agree with this idea.
For those who did not realize this before, hopefully this article has shed some light on that idea and gives you a better understanding of the purpose of The Daily Eastern News.
A n t h o n y C a t e z o n e i s a s e n i o r j o u r n a l -i s m m a j o r. H e c a n b e r e a c h e d a t 5 8 1 - 2 8 1 2
Compared to other issues on next week’s ballot, the Illinois Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights Amendment hasn’t gotten much coverage. Maybe that’s because it doesn’t have the immediate effects that, say, changes to voting rights might have.
Or maybe it’s because the amendment seems almost too obviously beneficial measure that it’s more or less eluded real public scrutiny.
Either way, it’s worth a “yes” vote.Also known as “Marsy’s Law,” the ballot’s language appears
as follows: “The proposed amendment would expand certain rights already granted to crime victims in Illinois, and give crime victims the ability to enforce their rights in a court of law.”
Those rights include the right to be free from harassment, intimidation and abuse through the criminal trial process, the right to be heard as any post-arraignment proceedings, and the right to notice and hearing before court rulings on access to victim records, among other things.
The push for stricter and more expansive victims rights has been at the forefront of a nationwide push to afford vic-tims dignity and closure that started in California, where the mother of murder victim Marsy Nicholas was confronted by Marsy’s accused killer while shopping for groceries. The fami-ly was unaware before that time he had been released on bail,
prompting outcry from the local community over the rights of victims to be aware of court proceedings.
There’s a reason groups like the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence are so aggressively advocating the amend-ment’s passage: it’s common sense legislation.
The coalition, which works on behalf of 53 domestic vio-lence crisis centers around the center, has been working for over six years to try and change the law’s language, often lob-bying Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to convene with abuse victims and learn how the state can offer further protec-tions, and for good reason.
Passing the Illinois House by 111-2 vote, and passing the Illinois Senate unanimously, this amendment would be a great step in ensuring that victims of all crimes are provided the protections and comforts necessary to endure court already exhausting and emotional court proceedings to find justice.
The passage of Marsy’s Law, both in Illinois and across the nation, would be a great step in not only alleviating the emo-tional trauma often felt by victims, but would also strength-en the way in which court proceedings are made visible to the public.
‘Marsy’s Law’ would help protect Illinois victims

“Students really seem to relate to me and appreciate what I was say-ing,” he said.
Although in the past, many peo-ple were taught not to talk to strang-ers, Schulman said, it seems as though those times are changing.
“It’s the context in which you en-gage in people,” he said. “It used to be: ‘don’t talk to strangers on the street,’ or ‘don’t talk to weirdos who drive up to you in a van,’ but now I think we need to update the con-text.”
He added when meeting people on Facebook, people now have to consider how we are connected to them and how we know who they
really are.In current times, it is simpler for
people to make profiles based upon what another person’s interests are, Schulman said.
“At least before you had the ability to see the weirdo or dangerous per-son and make a judgment based on how they look, but now you can’t do that because they can look up exact-ly all of your friends or the guy you dream of dating,” he said.
Schulman said he does not think all those who create fake profiles are trying to hurt someone.
“There’s definitely a very clear dis-tinction between people who are premeditated in their actions or be-
cause they are curious about them-selves,” he said. “Usually, I think it’s by accident, just sort of out of curi-osity.”
Schulman finished his presenta-tion with words of advice for college students trying to figure out their identity.
“Don’t tie yourself down to the path you think you want to follow,” he said. “Be open to new experienc-es, because they may change your life.”

“The one that causes the least pain for the individuals involved f rom the humanitar ian s tand-point, is to take advantage of in-stances were people say ‘I choose not to work.’”
Lord said information provid-ed by the Board of Trustees in June suggested continuing to re-duce expenditures until 2016 be-cause of low enrollment and lack of funds.
“We continue to have the chal-lenge of balancing expected ex-penditures with expected
revenue,” he said. “I fully an-t ic ipate that we wi l l cont inue needing to save money next year.”
However, Lord said attr it ion cannot be used for everything,
and at some point new people need to be hired for the purpose of providing students with their educational needs.
“ I n s o m e c a s e s s o m e b o d y leaves that is essential to deliver-ing the curriculum, and we have to do something to have some-body replace lost coursework,” he said. “At the end of the day my job, and the job of the academic administration, is to deliver the curriculum we promised to stu-dents, someway, somehow.”

The Newman Catholic Cen-ter will be celebrating 75 years with “Newman Night” at 5 p .m . Sa tu rday i n th e St . Ph i l ip Ner i Chape l , 500 Roosevelt Ave.
A dinner and dance will follow at the Grand Ball-room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union at 6 p.m.
Terry Coulton, the head of the Newman Center commit-tee, said the purpose of the an-niversary celebration is to raise money for students going on alternative spring break trips to serve others.
Newman students serve twice a year as missionaries in Haiti
through the Haiti Connection. To honor the 75 years of
service, a faith, hope and chari-ty campaign has been launched to sustain the active ministries and apostolates at Newman.
The organizers hope to sur-pass their $20,000 fundraiser from the event last year.
The funds will be used for charitable outreaches of the Newman Center and to as-sist students on mission, edu-cational, and service trips, ac-cording to the press release.
Coulton said the Newman Catholic Center has served stu-dents well since its founding in 1939.
Coulton said a lot of alumni come back for the event.
The theme is “Remem-bering Our Past, Celebrating
Our Present, and Ensuring Our Future.” The meaning of the theme is to embrace faith and continue helping others in need, not just local, but from other parts of the country.
Coulton also said current students at Eastern enjoy these events because it opens oppor-tunities to travel to different parts of the country giving aid to those in need.
“Students become more in-volved,” Coulton said. “They shape their own path.”
The Newman Catholic Cen-ter also has alternative spring breaks. Alternative spring break is when students travel to different parts of the coun-try and help those in need. The students who attend alterna-tive spring break have been to
many locations worldwide. The Newman Night is all
about having fun while con-tributing with charity to help the students continue with their charity campaign.
There will be raffles for three prizes; a grand prize of $1,000, an iPad 2 15GB and an East-ern-Charleston basket, Coul-ton said.
Tickets for the Newman Night event can be reserved by contac t ing the New-man committee by email or phone; Coulton said every-body is invited. Tickets for dinner are $25 and for stu-dents $15.

After a crucial conference victo-ry over Fort Wayne, the men’s soc-cer team goes on the road to face non-conference opponent Northern Ken-tucky at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
With a 3-8-4 record, Northern Kentucky hails from the Atlantic Sun Conference, and is coming off a loss. Northern Kentucky remains winless in its conference, with a 0-3-1 record.
The first and only time Eastern and Northern Kentucky faced off was last season, when Northern Kentucky de-feated Eastern in a game that went into overtime 2-1.
Eastern coach Mark Hansen said the keys to beating Northern Ken-tucky this year is matching them step for step.
“When looking at NKU, one of the biggest things will be match-ing their effort and intensity,” Han-sen said. “They are extremely well coached and organized. We will need to be more clinical in front of goal to continue on with the successes from Sunday.”
Head coach John Basalyga is in his 10th season at Northern Kentucky. He has a career record of 130-44-19 and he won a national championship back in 2010.
Leading scorers for Northern Ken-tucky are Clan McDonald and Caleb Eastham with four goals each. Mc-Donald has three assists and 11 points on the year and Eastham has one as-sist and nine points.
Hansen said Northern Kentucky’s style of play changes to adapt to a va-riety of tempos.
“One of the things that makes it tough to play NKU is they have the ability to play a variety of styles,” he said. “They are capable of slowing a game down or speeding it up. They can play direct or possess it.”
Junior A.J. Fleak has spent most of the time at goalkeeper this year for Northern Kentucky. His record is 2-5-4 and he has recorded two shut-outs. He has given up 19 goals this year, while making 47 saves and has a 1.64 goals against average.
Hansen said he sees some room for improvement despite winning last game against Fort Wayne for the Pan-thers.
“Our biggest thing we need to look at is being better in front of goal,” he said. “I felt even though we played a complete game in our 2-0 win, we made it more difficult because we
could of easily won the game by two or three more with the chances we missed.”
It’s been three games since East-ern has been on the road, but Hansen doesn’t see that as being a problem.
“They are excited at an opportunity get back out and to continue to show their development individually and as a team,” he said. “At this point in the season all of them are use to traveling. We are looking at this as great oppor-tunity to build on the steps we took forward as a team on Sunday.”
Eastern hopes to keep its momen-tum going and earn their first road game victory since 2012.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: #EIU football takes on Tennessee Tech on the road this Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
BLACK, page 7
By Aldo SotoSports Editor | @AldoSoto21
The Tennessee Tech football team was a shadow of itself heading into its game at Jacksonville State, following its comeback victory against Eastern Kentucky.
A linebacker group that was devas-tated by injuries against the Colonels, left Jacksonville, Ala., even more de-pleted.
Tennessee Tech coach Watson Brown lost three linebackers in the first quarter against the Gamecocks, as they went on to win 49-3, hand-ing the Golden Eagles their third con-ference loss.
O v e r a l l , t h e G o l d e n E a -gles are reeling heading into their 1:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday at home against Eastern.
“We’ll have 13 guys not play in this game Saturday on our team that ba-sically started the year with us, but we still got plenty enough to still win games down the stretch here,” Brown said.
The biggest loss on defense came to the linebacker group, which has been without senior Tra’Darius Goff for the past five games and is out for the rest of the season.
Goff led Tennessee Tech with 101 tackles last season, while adding three sacks, forcing three fumbles and re-covering two fumbles. Things did not get any better for his replacement ei-ther.
“We lost our All-OVC lineback-er Tra’Darius Goff and that’s great for next year because he gets a red-shirt and Trey Thompson has had a bro-ken hand and a separated shoulder, who took his place,” Brown said. “Jay Rudwall’s had a very sore jaw. Both Thompson and Rudwall got hurt in the Eastern Kentucky game in the fourth quarter. We won that game, but it took a toll on us.”
Because of the injuries, Brown still does not know who is and who is not ready to play against the Panthers on Saturday.
“I don’t know as of (Tuesday) after-noon what they will be able to do and then what can some do in practice and what can they do on game day,” he said. “It’s been interesting for us. We’ve played seven linebackers.”
Injuries to Brown’s linebackers are only the beginning, though. Tennes-see Tech has been decimated left and right on its offense.
“We’ve played six different offen-sive tackles, we have no tight ends left, we’ve played five different flank-ers, we’ve played six different running backs, two different quarterbacks and four different centers,” Brown said.
Despite the injuries, the Golden Eagles have won both of their con-ference home games this season, beat-ing Murray State 30-27 in overtime on Oct. 4, and defeating the Colo-nels 39-31 on Oct. 18, overcoming a
21-point deficit in the fourth quarter.“But we’re hanging in there and
we’ve found a way to win games,” Brown said. “We have three straight home games and we’ll see if we got enough left in the tank to knock off some of these people.”
While Brown is trying to get his team back on track, Eastern coach Kim Dameron is looking forward to the final four games, which if the Panthers win out have the chance to share the Ohio Valley Conference title.
The Panthers are 3-1 in the OVC, third in the standings, but
Dameron said Eastern has to focus in game by game.
“We’re excited about the chal-lenge,” Dameron said. “We know that basically we’re in a sudden death sit-uation right here because we can’t af-
ford to lose a conference game and think that we can possibly make it to the playoffs.”

Eastern women’s basketball coach Debbie Black is being inducted into the Pennsylvania sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 8.
Black, who was born in Warmin-ster, Penn., said she is humbled by the honor.
“Anytime you are elected into any hall of fame, you have to realize the quality of players and people that are elected,” she said. “You have obvious-ly done something special. You kind of have to be very humble about this, because it’s something you love to do and you did it well and you get rec-ognized for it. So it is kind of the top honor.”
Before receiving this induction, Black already has been inducted into
the Philadelphia Hall of Fame back in 2012, and she was inducted into the St. Joseph Athletics Hall of Fame back in 2000.
Coming out of Archbishop High School in Philadelphia, Black received only one Division I scholarship, be-cause she said everyone thought she was too small.
That scholarship was from Jim Fos-ter, who was the head coach of the St. Joseph women’s basketball team at the time.
Foster saw Black playing basketball with her sister, who is two years old-er than her, and Foster liked the way Black played so he offered her a schol-arship.
Black said she had no other option, but to take that opportunity.
DERRICK JACKSON | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSEastern head coach Debbie Black gives instructions to her players during practice on Tuesday in Lantz Arena. Black, a native of Warminster, Penn., is being inducted into the Pennyslvania Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 8. Black was hired as Eastern’s head coach in May 2013. The Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, established in 1962, is the only community-based hall of fame in the United States.
