For the tenth time this semes-ter, Eastern students Tuesday hadno representation at the city coun-cil meeting. In fact, students havenot had any representation sincethe Dec. 2 council meeting whenthe council voted not to extendbar hours.
“I feel like the campus and thetown are not together like theyshould be,” council memberMarge Knoop said. “We aren’tdoing some things we should do,and the students maybe aren’tdoing some of the things theyshould do.”
The city and the university aresupposed to maintain contactthrough meetings with an exter-nal relations committee, MayorDan Cougill and Charleston’s CityCouncil.
Last fall, Kyle Donash wasappointed by Student SenateSpeaker George Lesica to serve asthe external relations committeechairman. As the chair, he wasresponsible for maintaining a stu-dent link between the university
and the city.“There has not been one (meet-
ing), at least that I’ve been awareof, all semester,” said councilmember Larry Rennels.
Rennels, along with Knoop,Donash and about 20 others, serveon the external relations commit-tee, which is “vital because it isthe one true connector betweenthe city and the university,” saidcouncil member Lorelei Sims.
When the external relationscommittee was established, it metevery month to let each partyknow the other’s goals and objec-tives with hopes of workingtogether on any problem.
The committee’s last meeting,however, was Nov. 6, whichRennels noted was prior to the
“no” vote on extended bar hours.Both Rennels and Knoop said
they would like to see the councilmeet more frequently like it orig-inally did.
“I think we should be meetingmore often,” Rennels said. “Ithink it’s an opportunity to sharedifferent points of view and workthrough different concerns andissues in an environment whereeveryone is trying to solve theissues.”
The philosophy behind the com-mittee is vital for dialogue; how-ever, council attendance is just asimportant, Sims said.
During the fall, Donash went tonumerous city council meetingsand met frequently with themayor and external relations com-
mittee members; however, he hasnot been to any council meetingsafter the bar hour decision.
“I think we were a little disap-pointed that he didn’t show up,”Knoop said. “Maybe we couldinclude him more in some of ourprocesses.”
A position on the interfraternitycouncil as the Student Senate liai-son has kept Donash busy Tuesdaynights when the council meets.
“I don’t have time to talk to themayor, but I think I still have donea pretty good job,” he said.
Although Donash has not beenattending the council meeting orholding committee meetings thissemester, he said he has still main-tained contact with the city byspeaking over the phone withCougill four or five times thisyear.
“If (Donash’s) other endeavorsexcluded him from participating,then it was Kyle’s responsibility tofind someone to fill in for him,”said Sims, who believes the stu-dents did not have a voice in thecity this semester. “If I was inKyle’s position, I would have dele-gated someone else to continue
the meetings, or consider step-ping down.”
The idea of having a delegatedrepresentative attend councilmeetings when the committeechair cannot go is not currentlyallowed in the senate’s bylaws;however, “it would be somethingworth investigating,” Lesica said.He believes it would be better foronly one student to represent thestudent body to present a unifiedfront, presenting as few differentideas as possible.
Lesica, who served as the exter-nal relations committee chair lastyear, said he enjoyed the positionbecause “it’s a very interestingjob where you actually get to beinvolved in government in a realway.”
“It’s imperative to show stu-dents care,” Lesica said.
When Lesica was the committeechair, he only attended those coun-cil meetings that he felt relevantto Eastern, such as the bar hoursdecision last December, which heattended although he no longerheld the position.

Davenport became interimdirector last October after thedeath of former director Ms.Johnetta Jones.
From 1991 to 1997, Davenportwas the chief academic advisor forEastern’s Gateway program andalso was an academic advisor forthe Department of AfricanAmerican Studies. Davenport also was the coordina-tor of the EIU/Colleges of Chicago Special Project, thepress release said.
Maria Santoyo, a sophomore education major, par-ticipated in the search for the new director and saidDavenport is prepared to to bring many new ideas tothe position.

Attendance requirements forcouncil meetings are not set up,and Lesica said he believes thereis no point in attending everymeeting, although it still is impor-tant to maintain a presence in caseissues arise.
City officials disagree withLesica’s view of the purpose of thecommittee position, however, say-ing for nine months each year stu-dents are Charleston residents,thus almost every decision madeby the council affects them.
“Even though it could be boring,I think it’s important for externalrelations committee members, atleast one, to attend all meetings,”Sims said.
“I know that some meetings areirreverent to student affairs, butthere is dialogue about the univer-sity, town, students.”
Sims said the last regular citycouncil meeting was such a timewhen a student voice was needed.
At the April 20 meeting, Simsand Rennels voiced complaintsabout bad behavior — not neces-sarily that of students.
Sims said she was disappointedsomeone had stolen a mirror,which she made, from Roc’sBlackfront from the women’sbathroom. Rennels then com-plained about the amount of publicurination — specifically on hisproperty.
Both of those instances wouldhave been good items for Donashto discuss with the student senate,
Sims said.City officials said maybe stu-
dents should not come down toohard on Donash because the citymight not be doing its part in fos-tering communication betweenthe two bodies.
Although Cougill asked if therewas anything the communitywould like to add after each coun-cil meeting, maybe this is notenough, Knoop said.
For Rennels, students are notthe only people he believes aremissing at council meetings.
He said faculty and residents ofCharleston are also importantmembers of the community andare affected by council decisions,so he wished more people wouldattend each meeting, taking agreater interest in their city.

Eastern students and Charlestonresidents flocked to the LibraryQuad this weekend for Celebration;a chance to hear music and see var-ious forms of art.
Celebration: A Festival of theArts, is hosted by Eastern’s Collegeof Arts and Humanities and hasbeen a tradition at Eastern since1977. This year, Celebration offeredlive musical performances, demon-strations, children’s activities and avariety of foods.
The festival began Friday at noonwith acoustic duo Ryan Groff andBrent Byrd. The Charleston nativesperformed a variety of folk-rocktunes.
One of the main events Fridaywas a performance by the 1980shair band tribute act the LeatherPistols.
About 50 people waited beforethe performance and once the longhair, leather-wearing band openedup with a Bon Jovi song, peoplefrom all around gathered to relivethe 80s. Young and old watched theband perform hits from DefLeppard, Guns and Roses andPoison.
“I have never heard of the bandbefore, but I think they are good,”said graduate student VineetSaxena. “I’m more of a 60s musicfan, but I think Metallica andAerosmith are good 80s bands.”
The Leather Pistols were fol-lowed by the Boat Drunks. Theband from central Illinois has beencalled “the official Jimmy Buffetttribute band.” They sang popularBuffett songs, but rain forced many
audience members to find a dryplace to hear the music.
One of the most popular attrac-tions at Celebration was the art fair,which was held on Saturday andSunday. This year there were over40 artists selling and displayingtheir original works.
“It was hard to get any businesson Saturday because of the rain,”said Mandy Kellogg, owner of 3-DDesign. She said Sunday was moreof a productive day for her home-made tie-dyed merchandise stand.
“I think the weather affectssales,” said Kellogg. “On Saturdaythere was barely any people here,but Sunday sales are going well.Many people today have been buy-ing my tie-dye sweatshirts anddresses.”
Jewelry was sold at the majorityof stands, but other stands soldclothes, pottery, marbles, clocks,wind chimes and other crafts. Thefair also had a special tent called theChildren’s Arts Activity Area andcarnival games.
