“It’s O.K. to buy shots for your friends even if they’realready drunk.”

This was just one of the issues presented to the members ofthe Lambda Chi fraternity Monday at a discussion about alco-hol policies and laws.

“Our Chapter, Our Choice” was presented by the LambdaChi Alpha fraternity at 7 p.m. Monday to about 60 membersof the fraternity to inform them of some alcohol policies thatare in effect on campus, in the community and in residencehalls. This presentation was in conjunction with the fraterni-ty’s alcohol probation.

Student Life employee Marissa Leclaire began the discus-

sion by asking members of the fraternity their opinions on cer-tain alcohol policies.

LeClaire asked members how they felt about the follow-ing statement: “It’s O.K. to buy shots for your friends even ifthey are already drunk.”

This statement drew various opinions from the members,with some “strongly” agreeing, some “strongly” disagreeing.

When members finished the activity, LeClaire told themembers that the activity measured the members’ valuesabout their house. LeClaire told the members that the point ofthe activity was “ to make the (Lambda Chi Alpha) chapterstronger.”

Kelly Gallery, associate resident director for the fraternity,discussed housing and judicial affairs issues with the mem-

Mayor Cougill says he is willing to listen toideas on lowering Charleston’s bar-entry ageto 19, but has seen the improvements inCharleston since the entry age was raised.

“I’m always open to things,” Cougill said.“I think there are a lot of things that have to bediscussed.”

Charleston had lowered the bar entry age to19 in the 1980s when thestate lowered the drinkingage to 18 or 19, Cougill said.

“It was in law for about ayear and (the state) rescind-ed it because they had a lotof accidents and DUIs,”Cougill said.

After the state raised thedrinking age, “a lot of col-lege communities played around with differententry ages,” Cougill said.

Charleston is one of the college communi-ties that left the bar entry age at 19 after thedrinking age was raised. It remained at 19 until1994.

While the bar entry age was 19, it attractednot only Eastern students, but students fromthe Indiana State University in Terre Haute,University of Evansville, and Southern IndianaUniversity, Cougill said.

“We were attracting crowds we didn’t wantto attract,” Cougill said.

Along with the college students, gangmembers from bigger towns were coming intoCharleston, Cougill said.

There was an increase in the number of vio-lent bar fights and more large house partieswith 200 to 300 people, Cougill said.

“Our philosophy on house parties is, if youaren’t bothering your neighbors, you’re notrelieving yourself in the front yard and therearen’t beer cans all over the front yard, we’lldrive right by,” Cougill said.

Since the bar entry age was raised to 21,Cougill said he has seen dramatic improve-ment in litter around the town.

“Where I live I would usually spend Friday,Saturday and Sunday morning picking litterout of my yard,” Cougill said. “Now I spendmy mornings a little differently.”

City Council members John Winnett, BruceScism and Larry Rennels agreed with Cougillsaying they have noticed a positive differencein Charleston since the entry age was raised to21.

Marge Knoop city councilman and a rela-tive of Mike Knoop, owner of Top of the Roc,said she was willing to listen to suggestions.

“I think it is something we can work on andI’d like to work on it with Eastern and take itfrom there,” Marge Knoop said.

The names of the five students connectedwith the bombs found in Carman Hall and thePi Kappa Alpha fraternity house may bereleased when the report is back from the lab,police say.

The Illinois State Police Lab in Springfieldis testing the substances in the bomb to deter-mine their contents. Assistant Police ChiefAdam Due said there may be a two to threeweek delay in receiving the lab results becauseof a back up at the lab.

The five students admitted on Sept. 28 toconstructing and placing two suspected home-made bombs in Carman Hall and Pi KappaAlpha fraternity house.

The four juniors and one freshman voluntar-ily admitted their involvement with the Sept. 20incidents.

A decision on possible criminal charges willnot be made until the contents of the bottles areconfirmed by the Illinois State Police Lab.

According to a press release, StudentJudicial Officer Keith Kohanzo said sanctionswould likely include restitution for expensesincurred by the university, the fire department,

the crime lab and the arson investigator’s office.The five students have cooperated with the

investigation and told the officers what the bot-tles contained. Due said an investigator hasbriefly examined the devices and said the sus-pects list of ingredients seems correct.

Amendments made to the House ofRepresentatives Campus Crime Reporting Actare currently pending in the Legislature. Thepending amendments state that schools will berequired to maintain a public police log of allreported crimes. The only exceptions are toprotect ongoing investigations and victims ofsensitive crimes such as sexual assault.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Anoversize hot air balloon struggling withhigh winds plunged to the ground afterstriking power lines Monday, killing onepassenger and injuring 12 other people.

The red-and-yellow balloon split apartwhen it hit the lines at Kirtland Air ForceBase, cutting off power to the base for twohours. The gondola broke free and fellabout 18 feet to the ground, Col. JimStevens said.

The balloon had been flying for aboutan hour when pilot Thomas Thompsondecided to land in a field because windshad gotten too high.

Winds pushed the balloon down toofast and into the power lines, said MarkFlett, a member of the balloon’s chasecrew.

One woman was killed in the crash.Three passengers were in serious condi-tion at University Hospital, the area’s trau-

ma center, and nine others were in listed insatisfactory to fair condition.

Thompson, 51, was among thoseinjured with a broken ankle and a cut chin. Most hot air balloons carry only a handfulof people, but the Wayfinder balloon’sgondola could hold 20, Flett said.

The balloon was not among the morethan 800 balloons taking part in the 27thannual international balloon fiesta thatbegan Saturday.

On Sunday, a California woman brokea leg and another woman suffered ribinjuries when the hot air balloon in whichthey were riding made a rough landingafter being hit by wind on the nearbySandia Pueblo.

High winds forced balloon fiesta orga-nizers to put scheduled events on holdMonday morning, but some pilots wereflying at their own discretion during thattime.

of the house. Members weregiven an “alcohol accountability”quiz to test their knowledge ofthe house rules. Some membersof the house then expressed theiropinions about certain policies.

Two lieutenants from theUniversity Police Departmentinformed the members of variouscampus drinking policies.

“We are going to give youinformation so you can makeinformed decisions if you do

decide to drink,” said Lt. ChrisStone.

Stone also said the policedepartment’s goal is to provide asafe environment for people tolive, work and get an education.

“If you make bad decisionsabout drinking, you’re the onethat’s going to suffer the conse-quences,” Stone said.

Stone also discussed fakeidentification policies andexplained that the secretary ofstate is notified of people who arecaught with fake ID’s, and thatusing a manufactured ID is afelony.

After Stone gave his speech,Lt. John Hatfill brought out four

members of the fraternity whoconsumed five beers in less thanan hour and tested their blood-alcohol levels.

Craig DeSimone, a seniorfinance and economics major andpresident of Lambda Chi Alpha,tested a .056 breathalizer on hisfirst test.

“One on one interactionalways provides the best environ-ment for learning,” he said.

“I hope that this program pro-vided an open forum for all tobecome better educated aboutEastern’s alcohol policies.”

Steve Zielinski, a seniorspeech communications majorand student body president, test-

ed .063 on his first breathalizerand .053 on his second.

“Programs like this are won-derful to increase awarenessamong students and I was happyto participate,” Zielinski said.

“I believe this program creat-ed a lot of healthy discussion.There are so many issues withalcohol that are not discussed,and I am very proud of LambdaChi Alpha for taking the time toeducate themselves,” Gallerysaid at the conclusion of the dis-cussion.

The discussion was co-spon-sored by the University Policedepartment, Lambda Chi Alphaand the Office of Student Life.

WASHINGTON (AP) - SenateMajority Leader Trent Lott accused theWhite House Sunday of using the threatof a possible government shutdown forpolitical gain and said he was unsurewhether he could trust the administrationin budget talks.

“They basically have told me, ‘We’llwait and see. If it is to our advantage toshut down the government we will, if it isnot, we won’t,’” Lott, R-Miss., said.

Lott, appearing on ABC’s “This Weekwith Sam Donaldson and CokieRoberts,” would not identify the adminis-

tration official he said made that com-ment, saying he still have to work withthe person this week to try to avoid ashutdown.

But, Lott said, “I am very disturbedabout the ability to work with this WhiteHouse.It’s a matter of trust and I’m notsure that as majority leader now I cantrust their actions.”

In response, Linda Ricci, spokes-woman for the White House budgetoffice, said: “The administration has beenvery clear we do not seek or advocate ashutdown.

Eastern’s integrated core program, establishedin 1992, is undergoing an examination by sub-committees established in the Council onAcademic Affairs to see if the core is workingand what needs to be changed.

“We’re looking at what is currently being doneand whatever assessment data is out there,” saidDoug Bock, vice chair of CAA and chair of theforeign languages, language and U.S. constitu-tion subcommittee.

The subcommittee on a system for generaleducation revisions divided the subcommittees tocover the five segments of the integrated core lastyear and these include:■ foreign languages, language and U.S.Constitution■ cultural experience/fine arts component, cultur-al experience/philosophy and literature compo-nent■ human behavior, social interaction and well-being■ quantitative reasoning and problem solving,scientific awareness■ foundations of civilizations

The subcommittees will specifically look atwhether the core is meeting the needs of the stu-dents, if there are adequate sections and how thesections fit in with the nine traits and abilities.

The nine traits and abilities are: literacy, rea-soning ability, quantitative analysis, historicalconsciousness, scientific awareness, social

responsibility, aesthetic literacy, multiculturalawareness and intellectual curiosity.

Seven focus groups with 45 participants wereformed last year to gather feedback regardinggeneral education. The focus groups reported toCAA that students, faculty and advisers have a“negative” feeling regarding the implementationof the integrated core.

The focus groups said recognition of facultywho teach core classes is low and the groupsthought recognition could be higher if class sizeswere lower.

Bock said there is some assessment data avail-able but the subcommittees still have to examineit.

The change of the general education programin 1992 occurred because the program wasdesigned in a “cafeteria system,” Bock said.

“Students went through the core like theywere going through a cafeteria line,” he said.“They would pick and choose whatever theywanted.”

There were three requirements: English,speech communication and math and distribu-tions. Students had to take nine hours in humani-ties, math and natural sciences, social studies andone senior seminar course, Bock said.

The question now is whether the core programin place is more integrated, he said.

The subcommittees are beginning to meet andplan out how they will approach their segmentsby following the original criteria CAA has out-lined.

“Our goal is to review the core by the end ofthe academic year,” he said.

In response to the oppositionof changing Pemberton Hall to aco-ed honors residence hall,Student Senate members willsubmit a formal recommenda-tion regarding the situation atWednesday’s meeting.

Senate member Bill Gruenannounced the possible resolu-tion at the Sept. 30 meeting andis likely to submit it at the 7 p.m.Wednesday meeting in the

Arcola/Tuscola Room of theMartin Luther King Jr.University Union.

Students have come to the lasttwo senate meetings and voicedtheir concerns on the proposal ofmoving honors students fromMcKinney Hall into a section ofPemberton.

Students from bothMcKinney and Pemberton havesaid they do not want thechange.

Students have said Pembertonshould be kept an all-female res-

idence hall because it has beenthat way for the past 90 years,making it a historical landmark.

It is not yet known whetherthe resolution will support ordeny the administration’s pro-

posal, but Senate Speaker KeithCosentino said the message fromstudents is clear.

“The consensus I get fromstudents is there’s a lot of confu-sion about what the administra-

tion wants to accomplish,” hesaid. “From this confusion, thereis a fear the administration willnot seek (students’) input.”

Cosentino said the adminis-tration has not ignored the stu-dents’ concerns.

“The fact they’re going towait for the statement (resolu-tion) shows the administrationdoes have a respect for the stu-dent body,” he said.

“They’re going to seek stu-dent input before they make adecision.”

Pemberton not the bestchoice to place honors

As a university honors graduateand three year resident of McKinneyHall (1994-1997), I am intriguedabout the suggested housing of hon-ors students in Pemberton Hall.

Having the perspective of anEastern honors graduate, I know thatthe director of the programs, HerbertLasky, has the student’s best interestsin mind. The question though is, “Is amove to Pemberton Hall the mostlogical choice?” I feel the answer is“no.”

First, Pemberton’s historic feeland character should be maintained. Ido not believe that anyone wouldargue with this fact. I, and many oth-ers, believe that this can only be doneby keeping Pemberton an all-women’s residence hall.

Secondly, this year there are over600 honors students according to uni-versity reports. A key point toremember is that not all honors stu-dents live on campus, so housing for

over 600 people is not an absolutenecessity. McKinney Hall housesapproximately 150 students.Overflow has already been taken toFord Hall. Why not make the wholeGregg Triad (McKinney, Weller andFord halls) all-honors by the 2000-2001 academic year? This would giverather uniform housing to well over400 students with close proximity toeach other, their classes, the libraryand the Student Recreation Center.By making this a goal for the 2000-2001 academic year, the non-honorsstudents would not be “pushed out”of their housing, and it would giveenough time for these residence hallsto receive the air conditioningpromised in the CampusImprovements of 1996.

By thinking about an option forhonors housing, it is important tokeep ALL student’s interests in mind.

Obviously, not everybody will behappy with a change in Eastern’shousing system, take the whole cam-pus food service issue into mind, butan option like this would benefitmany more people than the currentproposal while keeping thePemberton tradition alive.

M ore choices of variety have recently been added to our campus dining halls because of a strong student voice of opposition.

Jody Horn, director of Panther Dining, saidsince the forum held Sept. 10, dining serviceshas realized that food variety was the major complaint of the student body.

The main food concepts have stayed the same,but at least another similar option is given.

Stevenson Hall now offers the deli line constantly, because of high student reviews, and

the Asian line will onlybe served at lunch. Theformer Asian line willnow serve a differentdinner option eachnight.

Chicken strips willstill be the lunch

option at Taylor Hall, but a second broiled orbaked chicken option will be given during dinner. The Lawson Hall line will serveMexican food for lunch and baked potatooptions for dinner.

Thomas Hall will only add another pizza andpasta choice.

Carman Hall will offer deli solutions or agrilled item for lunch and traditional meals fordinner.

Pemberton Hall also will soon be adding awaffle line for breakfast.

The students have shown their appreciation ofPanther Dining Service lending an ear andputting some solutions into action.

“I appreciate the university making an effortto keep the students happy,” said Matt Ruhl, ajunior business major.

Among the dining hall food changes, Panthercards also can now be used to swipe for meals.The days of two identification cards have cometo an end.

Dining services gets some brownie points forlistening to the student body.

Always keep your ear tunnels open and allowin the constant voice of your consumers: the students.

■ The editorial is the opinion of the editorial board of The DailyEastern News.

College has taught mean invaluable lessonin life: image is noth-ing.Recently, I was at a party

and a stranger had the com-plete audacity to ask me why Iwas not wearing a particularitem of clothing, as though I fitinto a certain stereotypicalgroup.

I was not aware that speak-ing about MY thoughts in lifecould lead to such an accusation.

Does this mean our world is so fake that without aparticular image, your mind is not believed, only chal-lenged by the general public?

People are people regardless of what they wear, andthey need to be recognized and remembered by theircharacteristics, accomplishments and thoughts, not by acertain membership look.

The friends and acquaintances I surround myself withare honest and good-hearted people regardless of howthey may appear to me – or anyone else, for that matter.

I consider myself fortunate to have met such acceptingpeople who aren’t so concerned with mainstream societyand hold their own traditional styles. This does not seemto be the case with the majority of American culture.

Society must remember we are all individuals, whichmakes us all uniquely different.

In my high school, it was the norm for students of allstereotypes to hang out. In fact, some of my very bestfriends are nothing like me in appearance, style or nature.

And this is good. I wouldn’t beable to tolerate someone whowas exactly like me.

If I felt like being copied, Iwould invest tons of money ina laboratory experiment todesign a Cygan clone.

The fashion industry as awhole is also partly responsi-ble for society’s insecurities.

The industry has taken whatit believes are fashion do’s anddont’s and made it the percep-

tion of societal socialization standards.Society’s perspectives of itself are so weak and inse-

cure that it swoons to hide itself underneath fake appear-ances when presenting itself to the world.

This only creates a blockage of something wonderfuland intriguing: diversity.

Despite the consequences of false imagery, most peo-ple must individually come to such a consensus.

I urge all of the student body, staff and faculty to takea look at who is actually sitting next to you. Wonder whateach individual ponders, what is important in their livesor even what got them where they are today.

Diverse socialization has the ability to educate individ-uals in ways not possible in the classroom.

Each person is a separate novel.

Societal diversity is its own teacher“Diverse socialization hasthe ability to educate individuals inways not possiblein the classroom.”

Eastern’s Student Senate recent-ly received an 82 percent approvalrating from students, deeming thisyear one of the senate’s most suc-cessful years, said Student BodyPresident Steve Zielinski.

Last week, 158 students filledout a one-question survey thatasked: “Do you feel student gov-ernment is addressing student con-cerns?”

Out of the 158 students sur-veyed, 130 answered “yes,” 19answered “no” and nine answered

“indifferent.”Without the nine indifferent

votes, Zielinski said the approvalrating would have been 87 percent.

“According to everyone,” hesaid. “I guess we’ve done well.

“It’s exciting to see the student

government more active this yearand it’s gratifying as well to see theuniversity is appreciating ourefforts.”

Zielinski said this is the first sur-vey the senate has issued to gatherapproval information.

“We’ve never had an exact tally,but it’s never seemed as high,” hesaid. “We hope this is a gauge ofhow all 11,000 students feel.”

Zielinski said senate membersplan to work to keep the rating highby enacting several new projects,which include:■ suggestions boxes, to be placed inall residence halls■ attending Recognized StudentOrganization meetings to discoverstudent concerns■ possibly conducting state of theuniversity addresses outside oncampus so more students can attend■ a Student Government web site

■ and a senate tour in whichStudent Senate meetings will beheld in a different location eachweek from Oct. 21 through Dec. 9

Zielinski said Victoria Markley,student vice president for studentaffairs, will have the web site upand running in the next week ortwo.

“It’s a combination of knowingwhat students are going to be con-cerned about,” Zielinski said. “Ithink it’s a combination of everyone(making the effort).

“If students aren’t available, ordon’t have enough time, you go outto the students.”

City Council will not discuss bar entry age

By Nicole MeinheitCity editor

The Charleston City Councilwill not discuss lowering the barentry age to 19 during tonight’sCity Council meeting.

Hearings for the three estab-lishments cited during the barcompliance audits on Sept. 25and 26 will be held Thursday orFriday and discussing loweringthe bar entry age at the City

Council meeting “would be likeputting the wagon before thehorse,” said Mayor Dan Cougill.

Cougill also serves a liquorcommissioner and presides overall liquor hearings. In his posi-tion, Cougill is not allowed anyinformation regarding the auditsuntil he hears the case.

“I was notified by the cityattorney that we will have ahearing on the bar complianceaudits sometime this week,”Cougill said. “I have no ideawhat is in the findings or if theyinvolve (Eastern) students.”

During the bar compliancechecks, 17 minors were citedand most were charged withminor frequenting a licensedpremises, misrepresentation ofage by a minor andpurchase/acceptance of alcoholby a minor.

Cougill said he had contactedStudent Body President SteveZielinski, who has been working

with Cougill to bring the issuebefore the City Council.Zielinski agreed to push backthe discussion to the Oct. 20City Council meeting.

At tonight’s meeting the citywill consider granting a variancein the Zoning Ordinance toKirby Johnson, owner ofPositively 4th Street, to add 650feet to his business. The vari-ance is necessary becauseJohnson is not adding any addi-tional parking spaces, requiredby the existing zoning ordi-nance.

The City Council also willlook at granting $2,400 toEastern Symphony OrchestraSeries. The Orchestra will givetheir first performance at 3p.m.Sunday at Dounda Fine Artscenter.

Joseph Manfredo, conductor,hopes to take the Orchestra ontours around the area, Cougillsaid.

The City Council will contin-ue their discussion for theremoval of underground gastanks located at the Street andMaintenance DepartmentHeadquarters on the north sideof Charleston.

The tanks were known to beleaking two years ago and mayhave continued problems, whichis why they are being removed,Cougill said.

Three contractors have placedreasonable bids and the CityCouncil will most likely go withthe low bid, Cougill said.

“All three are qualified andhave a license with theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency for the removal of taint-ed earth,” Cougill said.

City council members alsowill discuss:■ Approval of the 1997-98 annu-al audit conducted by Gilbert,Metzger and Madigan, LLP.■ A $2,300 allocation to

Powerade Classic “Legends ofthe Game” Weight lifting meetand Clinic for high school andyounger students. The clinic willhost Olympic gold medalists inweight lifting.■ A $117.15 allocation for theprinting of the Autumn Calendarof Events.■ Granting a zoning variance toClyde Sims to construct a garageat his residence.■ Authorization and support forthe submission of application forHOME Single Family Owner-Occupied RehabilitationProgram funds, a program thatallows the city to make repairs toproperties where the ownerscannot afford to make therepairs.■ Approving B.J. Huddlestonrequesting to have his residenceannexed into the city. The CityCouncil is expected to grant apre-annex so Huddleston can usecity sewer and water.

Student Senate receives 82 percent approval rating158 surveyed students say this year is one of Student Senate’s most successful years

It’s exciting to see the student government more active thisyear and it’s gratifying as well to see the university is appre-ciating our efforts.

Amish defendants change pleato guilty in cocaine conspiracy

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Two Amish menpleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to sellcocaine to fellow members in a case that threw aspotlight on how modern-day problems areencroaching on the sect’s simple way of life.

Abner King Stoltzfus, 23, and Abner Stoltzfus,24, could get five to 40 years in prison and up to$2 million fines. No sentencing date was set. Themen are not related; Stoltzfus is a common nameamong the Amish.

Prosecutors said that from 1992 to 1997, thetwo men bought cocaine from a Philadelphia-areamotorcycle gang called the Pagans, then sold thedrugs to Amish youth. Eight members of thePagans also have been charged.

The accusations shook Lancaster County’s22,000 conservative Old Order Amish, who iso-late themselves from the outside world and shunmodern conveniences.

Supreme court decides not to hear State Farm argument

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Courton Monday stayed out of a lawsuit that accusesthe nation’s largest auto insurer of defraudingpolicyholders by requiring the use of lower-cost,inferior repair parts.

The court, without comment, refused to hearState Farm’s argument that the case filed inIllinois should not have been certified as anationwide class-action claim.

State Farm’s insurance policies promise torestore policyholders’ vehicles to “pre-loss condi-tion’’ after an accident.

A 1997 lawsuit says the company violated thatpromise by requiring repairs to be made withparts made by companies other than the originalmanufacturer. Such parts are not good enough torestore a vehicle to its previous condition, thepolicyholders say.

The case was filed in state court in Marion, Ill.,

The Health Education ResourceCenter is now offering presentationsprofessors can schedule instead of can-celing a class.

Eric Davidson, director of thehealth education resource center, said avariety of presentations are available.

“If a professor is sick or has a con-ference to go to, we’re offering to gointo classes to deliver health-relatedpresentations,” Davidson said.

He said his presentations are usual-ly on alcohol, binge drinking, sexuallytransmitted diseases, AIDS and HIV.

“We can tailor the presentation to fitthe (professors) needs,” Davidson said.

The program is new this year, so ithas not been widely used yet, he said.The Health Education Resource Centerhas given two presentations and twomore are scheduled.

“It’s a brand new program so a lotof people don’t know about it,”Davidson said. “For a new program,(the usage of the program) is prettygood.”

So far Davidson said he has giventhe presentations himself, but he hopesto have peer education and communityenhancement (PEACE) students dosome of the presentations in the future.The PEACE students have two semes-ter hours of training from HealthServices.

“Most of the topics we present on

are topics of concern,” Davidson said.“Pretty much everyone on the campusis affected by alcohol and other drugs.”

He said he got the idea to incorpo-rate the program into classes fromother universities where the programhas been successful.

“One professor who had us come infor two classes was very pleased withwhat we did and the other professorwho has us scheduled for two classes isvery optimistic,” Davidson said.

He said it is a win-win situation forthe professors, the resource center andfor the students.

“It allows a guest speaker to comein and give them some informationthey otherwise wouldn’t have gotten inthat class,” Davidson said.

A fund-raising campaign will be held today and Wednesday forbreast cancer research and Lee National Denim Day will be heldFriday to encourage people to help fight breast cancer.

Donations for breast cancer research from Eastern will be sentto the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in memory ofCyndi Miller Rhoads, an employee of Eastern’s print center, whodied in May following an 18-month battle with breast cancer.

“Breast cancer is an issue that affects our lives, either immedi-ately or by word of mouth,” said Megan Phillips, an Eastern grad-uate student who organized the fund-raiser.

The campus goal for the campaign is to collect $2,000. As ofMonday, Phillips has collected about $200.

When individuals or groups make a donation to the foundationthey will receive a ribbon to be worn Friday, which is Lee NationalDenim Day. By wearing their ribbons and denim, students will beable to show their support for people living with breast cancer andfor researching the disease.

A $5 per person donation is recommended and checks shouldbe made out to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Phillips said breast cancer takes 44,000 women’s lives and 400men’s lives each year.

“Even a few dollars from someone at Eastern can help fundresearch,” Phillips said. “We need to battle and find a cure.”

An information booth Friday will be located in the South Quadand donations will also be accepted there. Randal Rhoads, CyndiMiller Rhoads’husband, will be at the booth. Pamphlets with infor-mation about breast cancer will be available.

Anyone who would like to make a pledge should contactPhillips at 581-6899. Actual donations should be sent to Phillips, incare of the Housing Office by Monday, Oct. 12.

Jordan denies accusations in courtCHICAGO (AP) - Michael

Jordan denied in court Mondaythat he failed to go through withmaking the movie “Heaven is aPlayground’’ because of the rela-tively small amount of money he would have received.

The Chicago Bulls superstarhad agreed to appear in the 1991movie for $350,000, while helater signed a $4 million deal tomake “Space Jam.’’

Lawyer Robert Maland, repre-senting the producers of “Heavenis a Playground,’’ asked Jordan if

that didn’t give his agent suffi-cient incentive to steer him awayfrom the movie.

“No,’’ Jordan said. Jordan and agent David Falk

contend the producers of“Heaven is a Playground’’ failedto come up with adequate financ-ing for the movie.

Jordan said he would havewanted to consider making a dif-ferent movie if he hadn’t beentied to “Heaven is a Play-ground.’’ He said, however, thathe didn’t know if any other

movie offers came to his agent atthe time.

The movie ultimately wasmade with former LoyolaMarymount star Bo Kimble inthe role Jordan was to haveplayed. It bombed at the boxoffice.

The producers are seekingbetween $16 million and $20million in damages, or what theybelieve could have been thefilm’s profit.

Jordan maintains both sidesagreed to postpone the film, and

Braves faced with bad memoriesATLANTA (AP) - They’re a couple of guys who

rekindle bad memories for the Atlanta Braves. Jim Leyritz turned the 1996 World Series with a three-

run homer, and the New York Yankees went on to beat theBraves in six games.

“Some guys always seem to rise to the occasion,’’Denny Neagle said. “He’s one of them.’’

A year ago, it was Kevin Brown’s turn to breakAtlanta’s heart.

He had two wins for the Florida Marlins in the NLchampionship series, including a Game 6 triumph thatended the Braves’ season.

“Facing him is not one of the more enviable tasks in theNational League,’’ Chipper Jones said. “He’s nasty anddominating and as tough a competitor as anybody thereis.’’

Now, Brown and Leyritz are teammates for the SanDiego Padres, who will meet Atlanta in the NLCS thatbegins Wednesday night at Turner Field.

If the Braves are the favorite based on their 106 regu-lar-season wins and seven straight postseason appear-ances, the combined karma of Brown and Leyritz mightbe enough to even things up for the Padres.

Neagle was the starting pitcher on that night two years

ago when the Braves seemed poised to win their secondstraight World Series.

Leading two games to one, Atlanta built a 6-0 lead inGame 4.

The Yankees cut the margin in half before Leyritz tiedit up with a three-run homer in the eighth against MarkWohlers. New York won 8-6 in 10 innings and took thenext two games as well to capture the championship.

“Obviously, he’s been a thorn in the side around here,probably more so than anywhere else,’’ Neagle said.“Well, I take that back. I’m sure he’s ringing in the ears ofa lot of Houston Astros fans right now. He’s been unbe-lievable.’’

Leyritz added to his postseason lore in the divisionseries victory over Houston, homering three times in fourgames. Among his victims: Randy Johnson and BillyWagner.

“Wohlers is in some pretty good company,’’ said JohnSmoltz, who’ll start Game 1 for the Braves, followed byTom Glavine and Greg Maddux.

Andruw Jones might have been remembered as thestar of the 1996 World Series, homering in his first two at-bats at Yankee Stadium as a teen-ager. But Leyritz stole thespotlight.

Special teams play gets Watson recognizedGoing into the game against

Southeast Missouri, one of the areasPanther coach Bob Spoo wanted tosee improvement was kickoffreturns.

Senior Panther kickoff returnerChris Watson responded to the calland accumulated 170 yards in sixkickoff returns and was named thisweek’s Ohio Valley ConferenceSpecial Teams Player of the Week.

The 170 yards isthe most by anOVC player in agame this season.Watson alsoshowed he couldplay defense, ashe accumulated12 tackles in the

35-33 win over the Indians. Watson now ranks 10th in the

OVC in kickoff returns, as he hasgained 304 yards in 15 tries for anaverage of 20.27 yards per kickoffreturn.

Top 20Three weeks ago after the loss to

Central Florida the Panther footballteam was not even in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll. NowEastern is on a three-game winningstreak and has moved to No. 19 inthe new poll.

Even though Eastern Kentuckyhad the week off, it still moved upone spot to No. 9 in the poll. MurrayState defeated Tennessee-Martin onSaturday, but still dropped one spotto No. 12 in the ranking.

With its win over previous No. 2Youngstown State, Eastern in-staterival Western Illinois moved sevenspots from No. 13 to No. 6.

Offensive explosionThe Murray State offense came

to play in the Racers 47-35 win overTennessee-Martin Saturday. The12th-ranked Racers finished the

contest with 680 yards of totaloffense, shattering the school recordof 639 set in 1967.

Oklahoma transfer quarterbackJustin Fuente passed for 369 yardsand five touchdowns. He now leadsthe OVC with 14 touchdown passes.

The Racers also showed they hada run game as Justin Bivens ran fora career-high 229 yards. This marksthe first time a Racer had gone over200 yards since 1995 when DerrickCullors accomplished the feat.

Racer head coach DenverJohnson said Murray came into thesecond half of the game with everyintention of playing some youngerguys.

“We had a big lead at halftimeand we were going to use our sec-ond stringers in the second half, butthey hit us for a big play to open upthe second half,” he said. “We were

hoping to use our second team andjust coast to victory, but to Martin’scredit they came back and made thecontest longer than it should havebeen.”

With the win, Murray State isnow in a three-way tie for first placein the OVC with a 2-0 conferencerecord with Eastern and EasternKentucky.

“We played SEMO and weplayed UTM so I felt we would be2-0, the trick is staying undefeatedin these next couple of weeks,”Johnson said. “It is almost impossi-ble to go through this conferenceundefeated but we’re going to tryand do it.”

The Racers have a tough testnext Saturday when they travel toMiddle Tennessee.

Calling it quits

After 20 years at the helm forMiddle Tennessee, Boots Donnellyannounced last Wednesday thatthis would be his final season ashead coach.

This announcement comes justbefore the Blue Raiders are goingto 1-A football next year.

The four-time OVC coach ofthe Year guided the Blue Raiders tofour OVC championships andseven I-AA playoff appearances.He also guided Austin Peay to itsonly conference title in 1977.

Donnelly currently ranks sev-enth among active I-AA coacheswith 151 victories.

Scoring at willThe Murray State offense was

not the only one clicking onSaturday, as Tennessee State put59 points on the board in its winover Alabama A & M. This is themost points that the Tigers havescored since 1984 and the first 50-point effort since 1986.

Senior Tyrone Butterfield, whohas scored a touchdown in everygame this year, continued thatstreak with two touchdown catch-es and 119 receiving yards.

Tennessee State also had a goodground attack led by sophomoreDonnell Brantley who rushed for acareer-high 113 yards and twotouchdowns on just 15 carries.

This is the fourth straight gamethe Tiger offense has topped the400-yard mark.

The offense will have to comeup big again this Saturday whenTennessee State travels to EasternKentucky.

Bottom of the bowlTennessee Tech’s Tucker

Stadium was filled with 12,237fans to see the final Totem Bowlgame between Tech and in-staterival Middle Tennessee.

After jumping out to an early 9-0 lead, Tech was unable to scoreuntil 2:12 left in the contest andMiddle escaped with a narrow 19-16 win.

Middle freshman quarterbackWes Counts connected with seniorreceiver Sulecio Sanford twice togive the Blue Raiders the lead forgood.

The win snapped Middle’sthree-game losing streak andextended Tech’s to three games.

Golden Eagle tailback JeromeTillman inched closer to the 1,000yard plateau for his career, as heran for 69 yards. He is now only 73yards away from hitting the mile-stone.

Ohio State looking at Illini team as ‘fresh meat’COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - No. 1-ranked

Ohio State’s players look at their game againstIllinois Saturday as just the next tuneup for big-ger and potentially huskier opponents down theroad.

“Fresh meat’’ is what linebacker Na’il Diggscalled the young Illini. Safety Damon Mooresaid, “We want a shutout, we want everybody toget a chance to play, to keep people healthy andto do our jobs.’’

But coach John Cooper looks at Illinois (2-3) as a treacherous step in a long and uphillclimb.

“The thing I’m concerned about is Illinois is

a young team that went on the road and beatNorthwestern up there last week,’’ Cooper saidMonday during his weekly news conference.“They got a taste of winning. They will be ascrappy football team when we go in there onSaturday. We’d better get with it and go overthere and take care of business.’’

Coming off a muddy 28-9 beating of sev-enth-ranked Penn State, Ohio State is a 36-pointfavorite against the Illini, who stunned Northwestern 13-9 Saturday.

The Illinois game kicks off a six-gamestretch in which the Buckeyes take on teamswith a combined record of 13-15 and a 2-7 mark

in Big Ten play. But Cooper said he expects his team to pre-

pare just as if it were playing one of the bulliesin the league.

“We’ve never had a problem with the workethic of the players,’’ he said. “I don’t know ofmany games we’ve gone in overlooking some-body ... We haven’t lost many games wherewe’ve been favored to win.’’

But even Cooper recognizes that there is afalloff in talent from a premier team such asPenn State compared to Illinois, which had lostits last 15 conference games before edging theWildcats Saturday.

“I don’t think Illinois has as good a talent asPenn State. Based on what I’ve seen, I don’tthink they do,’’ Cooper said.

“But you look here: in the Big Ten statsIllinois is third in the league in total defense,fourth in rushing defense, second in pass effi-ciency defense and fourth in pass defense. Theydo some pretty good things defensively.’’

But on offense the Illini are next to last inscoring, last in pass efficiency and eighth inyardage. Ohio State’s players are well awarethat the Illini will start true freshmen at bothquarterback (Kurt Kittner) and halfback (RockyHarvey).

After taking a week off, themen’s rugby team will be back inaction this Saturday afternoon atSouthern Illinois-Carbondale. Theteam is coming off an impressive87-0 win over Western Illinois.

“We enjoyed having the weekoff, but we would much rather haveplayed,” Bryan Reidy said.

Even though Eastern did havethe week off, the team still prac-ticed with the same intensity as itwould have if it did have a game.

“We were focused all week, sowe would avoid having any kind oflapse coming off the game againstWestern,” Reidy said. “Southernhas a lot of veterans, whereasWestern was a really young team.”

Although the game againstSouthern is very important, the

team hasn’t really gone through anyspecial preparations.

“The team starts each week withthe goal to win, so we go out andpractice hard and try to keep ourintensity level up,” Reidy said.“Our game plan is pretty much thesame for each game. We play withintensity and stick to the basics.”

Eastern has beaten SIU the lasttwo years, but the contests havealways been close. Neither one has

been decided by more than three orfour points.

“Southern is generally one ofour tougher opponents,” Reidy said.“It’s a fight all game long.”

The game against Southern alsocounts in the standings of theMidwest Union.

“Our goal at the start of the yearwas to win the Union again,” Reidysaid. “That goal is in sight, so wetake every game seriously and try to

play as hard as we can.“Southern is out to get us this

year, since we have beaten them thepast couple of years.

“In the past, the game againstSouthern has been a fun game toplay. We expect a hard foughtgame, but that only adds to the fun,”Reidy said.

After the game againstSouthern, Eastern returns home toplay Illinois State on Homecoming.

After week off, men’s rugby ready for more

the Ohio Valley Conference.And this hard work has not gone unno-

ticed. The OVC has recognized both seniorsfor their outstanding play this season,Hollenkamp for her offensive play and Austinfor her defensive and offensive achieve-ments.

Austin was named Co-Defensive Player ofthe Week on Sept. 14 and this week she wasnamed Co-Offensive Player of the Week.

In Hollenkamp and Austin, the Panthershave a great mix of personalities. Hollenkampis the soft-spoken, quiet leader while Austin isthe one who always tries to get a laugh.

“I feel like I motivate the team some-times,” Austin said. “I don’t like to be too

serious. I try to make people smile and wanteveryone to be happy.”

The one thing the two do have in commonis they keep the team loose and do what has tobe done.

“They do the little things that keep theteam spirited. They have been really goodabout keeping the kids focused,” Ralston said.“They do the little things like bringing a littlespontaneity and fun to practice. They relaxand take it one game at a time and won’t letthis team get into a panic mode and that isreally what you need when you have a teamlike this.”

Hollenkamp and Austin have been aroundfor four years and have seen their team comeup short in the OVC every year. Now they arethe seniors and it is their job to see historydoes not repeat itself.

“That’s what they saw happen in the past,looking ahead too soon,” Ralston said. “These

two are making sure that it doesn’t happenagain. That’s where these two are best.”

With high expectations of making a run atthe postseason, these two would like nothingmore than to prove themselves.

“We know what it takes,” Hollenkampsaid. “We have been there for four years. It isour turn to show everyone that we belongthere. We have been pushing a lot harderbecause we know what it’s like to be there.”

Austin is hoping her experiences over thelast few years will be valuable come tourna-ment time.

“We knew right from the start that we hada good team and we had to work hard,” shesaid.

“We need to get to the conference tourna-ment and then get to the NCAA’s. In the pastwe have looked so far ahead. This year we aretaking it one game at a time.”

That hard work has paid off inmany ways for a 4-15 team a sea-son ago, but Waguespack doesn’ttake all of the credit, instead pass-ing the accolades on his team-mates.

”We are ranked nationally inteam defense, but it makes thedefenses’ job easier when Jeff(Nix) or (Derrick) Perry scoreearly,” Waguespack said. “Thisyear I am seeing six shots a gameand last year I was seeing 15.”

Last season was one of growingfor Waguespack who replacedpopular keeper Brian Ritschel whograduated.

“He had to replace some bigshoes to fill in Ritschel,”McClements said. “When he leftthere was a big void there. He wasa captain and a leader.”

Waguespack quickly filled thatvoid, earning freshman honors lastseason in the MVC, accolades theLouisiana native wants to buildupon.

“My goal is to make the all-conference team and to get myname recognized around thenation,” he said. “And the team’sgoal now is to win conference andmake it to nationals. A realisticgoal considering our record.”

Turnaroundfrom Page 12

points against SEMO, we haveto keep it in perspective – 14 ofthose points came from five and10-second scoring drives thanksto two Indian turnovers.

Before quarterback AnthonyBuich passed for 301 yardsSaturday, Eastern only had acombined 589 passing yards inthe four previous games.

Eastern is second to last in

scoring offense with some otheroffensive woes mixed in.

In years past, the Pantheroffense has largely beensuccessful because of the rungame, which sets up a highlyeffective passing game. Andthat’s where the difference lies.

Lynch has done a solid job asEastern’s No. 1 rusher with near-ly 90 yards per game, good forthird in the conference. But lastyear, the Panthers had anothersolid threat in the backfield,Jabarey McDavid. Eastern hadopted to redshirt McDavid this

year and handed duties over toShaun Grace and Wayne Brown.While the two have done an ami-able job, it is obvious somethinghas been lost without McDavidand the combination of newoffensive linemen.

This year, the Eastern runningattack is fifth in the conferencewith 128 yards per game – com-pared to 192 each contest lastyear.

Receiver Philip Taylor hasused his speed to lead the teamin receiving, not to mention his59-yard touchdown catch on

Saturday. Frank Cutolo has also given

Eastern something they haven’thad very much of in past years –speed.

Seeing the Buich to Taylor orBuich to Cutolo combination issomething that could greatlyhelp the offense and spread thedefense, which could actuallyhelp the run game as well.

Going deep and utilizinglonger routes is something thatmay pay great dividends.

That dividend being aconference championship.

Tyson takes his case to Nevada Supreme CourtLAS VEGAS (AP) – Mike Tyson is going

all the way to the Nevada Supreme Court totry to keep his psychological records underwraps.

After losing another bid Monday to keepthe public from getting a glimpse insideTyson’s mind, attorneys for the former heavy-weight champion said they would make anemergency appeal to the state’s highest court.

At issue is whether reports from a team ofpsychiatrists that examined Tyson for fivedays last month to give to the Nevada AthleticCommission should also be made public.

“I sincerely believe that most people wouldfind it abhorrent to be releasing somebody’s

medical or psychological records to the pub-lic,’’ Tyson attorney Jim Jimmerson said.

A state judge refused Monday to reconsid-er his order last week that would allow therecords to be made public upon their release tothe athletic commission. Jimmerson said hewould appeal either late Tuesday orWednesday to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Whether the court will agree to hear thematter quickly, though, is another matter. If itdoesn’t, Tyson would either have to give uphis challenge to the records or face losing atentative Oct. 19 hearing before the commis-sion to try to get his boxing license back.

“There’s definitely an emergency here

because of our upcoming hearing date,’’Jimmerson said.

Commission members ordered Tyson toundergo psychological tests following a Sept.19 hearing on his request to replace a licenserevoked for biting Evander Holyfield’s earsduring their heavyweight title fight.

Tyson quickly complied, undergoing fivedays of exams before a team of psychiatrists atMassachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

But, with the reports containing possiblyembarrassing things about Tyson, he has beenfighting to give them only to commissionersfor their use in judging his fitness to return tothe ring.

Tyson adviser Shelly Finkel said Mondayhe believes the reports will show Tyson is fitto fight.

“I don’t think there’s anything to hide,’’Finkel said.

“But if you were going to go through fivedays of questioning from psychiatrists, I don’tthink you would want all your answers madepublic.’’

Nevada commissioners have said theywant at least four working days to review thereports before the hearing, meaning theywould have to be given to the commission byOct. 12 for an Oct. 19 hearing.

Seniors are the people you lookto for guidance and leadership. Sofar this season that is exactly whatMissy Hollenkamp and SherryAustin have brought to the Panthervolleyball team.

Hollenkamp and Austin are thelone seniors on this year’s team andthey have taken it upon themselvesto see that this season lasts as longas possible.

The ultimate goal of every teamis to win. Since the first day of prac-tice this season, these two seniorshave done everything possible tosee that it gets done.

“They have been tremendousleaders and have contributed great-ly to the success this fall mostlybecause of their unselfishness,”head coach Betty Ralston said.

The seniors knew what they hadto do and did not waste anytimedoing it.

“I think that they saw somethings from last year that they did-n’t like and they have worked sohard to change that,” Ralston said.“I think they saw that when practicestarted we had some hard workersand freshmen with potential andthat got them excited.”

The changes and the hard workhave paid off for the seniors so far.Hollenkamp and Austin have ledthe Panthers to a perfect 7-0 start in

Hard work paying off for seniorsHollenkamp,‘Stone Cold’Austin propel team to first place

Todd Musso / Staff photographerSherry Austin (left) and Missy Hollenkamp have used their senior leadership to help lead the volleyball team to first place in the Ohio Valley Conference thisseason. The Lady Panthers are 11-3 overall and 7-0 in conference play.

Even columnists make mistakes – thatincludes me too.

When the Ohio Valley Conferencefootball preseason predictions were released,I found it hard to believe that Eastern couldrealistically finish second in the OVC.

Of course, the team lacked the necessaryexperience and size. Not to mention lastseason’s leading tackler in the OVC, ThomasWilliams, and quarterback Mike Simpson.

For the team to be 4-1 and tied atop theOhio Valley Conference heading into its byeweek appeared to be a long shot.

The Panthers could be 3-2 or just aseasily 2-3, but 4-1? It seemed unlikely.

As camp progressed, those negative viewsslowly began to change. Maybe after all,

Eastern didhave a chance.

However,after anunimpressive24-7 win overDivision II St.Joseph’s toopen theseason, awinning recordappeared nearlyimpossible.

But now the Panthers are No. 19 in thelatest USA Today / ESPN I-AA poll. Theyalso have the longest winning streak in theOVC at three games.

So much for being a long shot.The attitude of the te
