A computer virus that has plaguedMacintosh computers on campus thissemester is almost completely removedfrom the systems.
David Henard, associate vice presidentfor information technology services, saidthe problems have been almost completelysolved.
“I know there have been some prob-lems with viruses on Macintosh comput-ers,” he said. “This particular set of virusesthat have shown up this fall are specifical-ly targeted to Macintosh computers.”
He said the virus has migrated to dif-ferent machines through floppy disks andalso through system servers.
“I understand the labs and othermachines on campus have pretty well beencleaned up,” Henard said. “It’s a prettyserious (virus).”
The virus can usually be cleaned offcomputer systems without causing a lot ofdamage, but if programs are not backed upthere can be some damage, Henard said.
“(The virus) can actually destroy dataunless (someone) backed it up carefullyand can recover it. It can get pretty seri-ous,” he said.
Henard suggested students not usedisks they pick up at other machines ordownload commercial software becausethis is how some viruses are spread.
“Those viruses continue to get worseand more prevalent each year,” he said.
Virus scan programs are one of the bestways to avoid getting a computer virus.
“What people can learn from it is to besure to back up (data) and be careful whatthey download,” Henard said. “If you’reusing only licensed software and you’recareful where your disks came from andusing virus scans that’s the best way toavoid it.”

After Faculty Senate members voted 7-7, a motionto request the Council on Academic Affairs reopen itsdiscussion regarding the new Biological Sciences pro-gram failed because it must be a majority vote.
Letters from a concerned faculty member and analumnus were forwarded to the senate for review afterthe CAA voted Nov. 10 to accept the new BiologicalSciences major.
“Hard feelings have been creat-ed,” senate member John Allisonsaid. “There are concerns aboutfuture mergers ... this has not goneaway.”
The motion was: “with the utmostrespect of CAA’s decision, usinginformation available at the time, inview of additional information whichhas been received by Faculty Senate, (the senate)respectively request CAA consider further discussionof the Biological Sciences major (new program).”
A letter sent by Eastern alumnus Frank Lipowskysaid he left his estate, which was worth “well over $2million,” to the botany department in honor of his par-ents. He said he was “deeply aggravated” the botanyand zoology departments merged into the BiologicalSciences department and he would like to see them as

Eastern’s Board of Trustees Tuesdayapproved a $130,543.75 bid for H & HTransportation to operate the shuttle bus,now dubbed “Panther Express.”
The Student Senate had hoped to col-lect $20,000 in donations from local busi-nesses, but only received $5,000, said LouHencken, vice president for studentaffairs.
However, the bus will now run toMattoon on Saturdays and Sundays andthe senate hopes to collect donations forthe shuttle bus from Mattoon businesses,Hencken said.
A $10,000 loan from the office of thepresident, $10,000 from the office ofStudent Life and $10,000 from theStudent Senate will be used to fund theshuttle bus, in addition to the $2.50-per-semester fee, Hencken said.
“For this (shuttle bus) to be successful,the students have to listen to the needs ofthe students,” he said.
Hencken said students should haveinput on the hours the bus will run as wellas the bus route because they are the oneswho will use it.
“This is a real service to the students,”he said.
The $10,000 from the Student Senatebecame available after they did not fill aseat for a secretary. Eastern PresidentDavid Jorns said the money from the sen-ate is an adjustment and they will not pro-vide as much money in the future.
“This is a one-time adjustment,” Jornssaid.
The BOT unanimously approved achange in the contract order for air condi-tioning design services for Lincoln andDouglas halls.
Morgan Olsen, vice president for busi-ness affairs, said asbestos was found and
would have to be removed from the resi-dence halls. The original contract cost forthe air conditioning systems was$173,500 and with the addition of$27,427 for asbestos removal, the costwill now be $200,927.
The BOT also unanimously approveda purchase order for computer equipmentfrom Virtual Disk Array ComputerStorage Equipment. Olsen said the newdisk storage is faster, takes up less space,has increased reliability, increased storagecapacity and stores 50 percent more thanthe current storage being used.
“This will support academic educa-tions such as the Panther EducationNetwork (PEN),” he said.
The BOT voted to make a $150,000down payment and then make two morepayments in August of 1999 and August2000, for a total of $292,500.
The BOT then went into executive ses-sion to discuss a personnel matter.

Blood drive exceeds goalBy Meghan McMahon
Staff writer
The Eastern Blood Drive Committee Tuesdaygathered 97 units of blood, 17 more than its 80 unitgoal.
This blood drive was the most successful drivesince September 1997.
“I am happy with (the results),” said Bryan Miller,faculty sponsor of the blood drive committee andassociate professor of zoology.
Miller said he anticipates similar results in futureblood drives.
Jason Bailey, treasurer of the blood drive commit-tee, said he also was pleased with results of the blooddrive.
“We came out well in excess of what we wereexpecting,” Bailey said.
The blood drive also collected 15 units ofplatelets, three more than the 12 platelet goal he said.
The goals for the blood drive were predeterminedbased on the turnout and length of past blood drives,said Tara Iverson, president of the blood drive com-mittee.
Patty Tesla, vice president of the blood drivecommittee, said the blood collected will be distrib-uted to many different areas.
“Some will go to hurricane victims and others willbe donated through the Midwest and locally,” shesaid.
Bailey said people with all blood types areencouraged to give blood because there is always ashortage.
“We need everything, especially Type O since it isthe universal donor,” Bailey said.
Only about 5 percent of Americans donate blood,Tesla said.
“There is always a blood shortage,” she said. “Wealways need people to donate blood.”
The Blood Drive Committee will be sponsoringanother blood drive on Dec. 2 and 3 in the UniversityBallroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. UniversityUnion.
People that donated blood during the Sept. 28 -Oct. 2 drive will be eligible to donate again duringthe December drive, Iverson said.
Many students said they were happy to volunteertheir blood to help others.
“I gave blood to give back to the community,” saidKofi Lartey, a junior history major. “Hopefully, oneday if I’m having the same problem somebody canhelp me out.”
The blood drive was sponsored by Eastern’sBlood Drive Committee and Papa John’s Pizza.
separate majors again.“Under these circumstances, I
may withdraw this gift if these mat-ters are not met,” Lipowsky said inthe letter.
David Radavich, professor ofEnglish and member of Eastern’schapter of University Professionalsof Illinois, also submitted a memoto the senate expressing concernabout “the situation in the newlyconsolidated Department ofBiological Sciences.”
Some of the concerns includedthe reduction of “faculty teachingassignments and course offerings”to students.
“Insofar as similar programconsolidation will likely occur inother areas of the university in thefuture, we must make sure thatsuch restructurings occur with aminimum of hardship and disrup-tion for both faculty and students,”Radavich said in the letter.
Radavich also said there appearsto have been reduced studentoptions for taking courses and pur-suing learning opportunities in
areas available before the consoli-dation.
Senate Chair James Tidwell firstruled additional discussion regard-ing the new program “out of order”because according to the senate’sconstitution, it does not have theauthority to discuss such mattersafter the proposal went to CAA.
Allison said this was “like a gag(order),” and with a vote of 8-7, theruling was voted down by senatemembers and discussion contin-ued.
Allison said requests were madeby a senate member and students todiscuss the program more, butCAA chose to act. He said CAAshould have taken a week to voteon approving the curriculum, notjust in the period of one meeting.
Senate member Ron Gholsonsaid it was appropriate to discussbecause the letters were addressedto the senate.
Tidwell said it was a “deadissue” and it can now go to theIllinois Board of Higher Education.
Allison said he knows CAA“intended to do the right thing” butif the discussion is reopened, it will“diminish rather than increase ten-sions in the long run.”
Senate Vice Chair Bonnie Irwin
said she is very uncomfortable withthe senate getting involved withCAA and council members mayfeel “patronized” if the motionpassed.
Allison said the motion does notmean he does not respect the CAA,just that there is no harm inexpressing a wish.
Senate member NorbertFurumo agreed.
“I don’t see what we have tolose,” he said.
Senate member John Best saidthe senate’s constitution is “crystalclear” in stating the senate shouldnot get involved. It is an “intrusivematter,” he said.
“I am happy with the thorough-ness in which CAA went over theprogram,” he said.
Allison said the letters indicatedconcerns regarding employmentopportunities and the quality of theprogram that still need to beaddressed.
“Just because you jump in thelake doesn’t mean you have to staythere,” he said.
Robert Fisher, associate profes-sor of zoology, said as far as heknows, no one in the BiologicalSciences department received anyof the letters the senate received.

WASHINGTON (AP) –Finally, the voice. MonicaLewinsky’s girlish excitement andpouty petulance reverberatethrough the Linda Tripp tapes asshe dissects her improbable rela-tionship with the president.
No valley girl-speak, here. Nogrim “Fatal Attraction’’ tones.Rather, the gush of emotion froman earnest young woman infatuat-ed with an older man. Naive butnot quite innocent.
With precise diction, Ms.Lewinsky playfully tests come-ons to Clinton like “Dear Boo-Boo’’ and “You can’t refuse mebecause I’m too cute andadorable.’’ But she chokes out herwords over sobs and snuffleswhen things turn sour, declaring:“It is too much for any one per-son.’’
The 22 hours of tapes releasedTuesday by the House JudiciaryCommittee gave America its firstchance to hear Ms. Lewinsky’svoice, one of the few remainingmysteries from a presidentialmorality tale that has unfolded inexcruciating detail.
A transcript of the words cameout earlier; what was new Tuesdaywas the emotion and inflection.The only thing missing now is thesteady stream of expletives thatwere deleted.
Radio and TV stations had afield day: Ms. Lewinsky’s voiceinstantly echoed across the air-waves coast to coast. “The Tripp tapes come out today,’’a train con-ductor announced to early-morn-ing commuters arriving atWashington’s Union Station.

A Coles County judge rejected a subpoena requiring thewoman who accused an Eastern student of criminal sexualassault to testify at the preliminary hearing.
Adam T. Santi, 22, of Mundelein, is charged with a Class 1charge of criminal sexual assault of an 18-year-old femaleEastern student from Chicago, a police report said.
Ron Tulin, Santi’s attorney, had subpoenaed the woman totestify at the preliminary hearing scheduled for Dec. 14.
“It would have been more appropriate to have the mattertaken up in court, at least thevictim had an idea that it wascoming,” said John Watson,assistant state’s attorney.“The way it looks now, thevictim is being intimidated.”
Tulin said the woman’stestimony was necessarybecause the charge says thatthe woman was “unable togive knowing consent.”
“All I want to do is have(the woman) up here, I wantto be able to check her testi-mony,” Tulin said.
Tulin said the defense would call the responding police offi-cer, but the responding police officer would not be able answerif the woman voluntarily went to Santi’s Charleston residence,if the woman voluntarily laid down on the bed and if thewoman voluntarily agreed to spend the night at Santi’sCharleston residence.
“I think it would be a wiser thing to wait until the prelimi-nary hearing (to make a decision); that’s fine, but not to squashthe subpoena because the state’s attorney says we’re harassingher,” Tulin said.
Tulin also cited the Sixth Amendment, saying it was Santi’sright to face his accuser, but Watson argued that the SixthAmendment does not apply to preliminary hearings.
“It’s inappropriate to test a theory in a case were someonehas violated someone in the most personal way,” Watson said.
Circuit Court Judge Ashton Waller said the purpose of apreliminary hearing is to establish if the prosecution hasenough evidence to bring the case to trial, not for the defenseto counteract the prosecution’s evidence.
Santi allegedly met the woman at a party where she accept-ed an invitation to return to his residence, a police report said.The police report also said the woman accompanied Santi tohis bedroom where he began mixing a drink.
The woman told police she did not pay attention to whatwas being poured into the glass, but recalls seeing Santi pour“something from a brown bottle into the glass which made thedrink red.”
After the woman took several drinks, her and Santi alleged-ly had the first of several sexual encounters during which thewoman repeatedly told him “no,” a police report said.
If convicted of criminal sexual assault, Santi could face amaximum of 15 years in prison and no less than four years.
Since being charged, Santi has resigned from the Pi KappaAlpha fraternity.

World’s changing thanks to Internet
By Natalie IslasStaff writer
Technology is stronger todaybecause speech is produced faster, alawyer specializing in FirstAmendment rights said Tuesday .
“The world today has changedfrom new technologies beinginvented such as the internet,” saidRobert Corn-Revere.
He presented “The FirstAmendment: From Crystal Sets toCyberspace.” He also discussedcases regarding the regulation ofbroadcasting, and certain laws thatapply to newspapers and theInternet.
He said the first time he everheard anyone speak of the Internet,he did not know what it was, butnow it is a never-ending world-widecommunication source.
Corn-Revere defined theInternet as a decentralized systemcontrolled not by one source, but bymany. He also discussed Internetlinks and how they connect theInternet.
“If it is blocked by one routethen it can easily go through anoth-er,” he said.
He said the World Wide Webbecame established in 1994 andgave people a chance to post infor-mation in text form and also gavethem a chance to post graphics.
“That is what the Internet istoday,” Corn-Revere said. “Whoknows what will be here tomor-row?”
When he worked at theCharleston Times-Courier in themid 70s, he said he struggled whiletyping his stories on the typewriterand now there is a service that canhelp people in every way.
“The Internet is an amazingcapability and it is quite a revolu-tion,” he said.
The Internet also causes prob-lems, he said.
“Pornography is a major prob-lem that is printed on the Internet.
Anyone can log onto the Internetand see nude pictures of someoneor find information on how to makea bomb,” he said.
“You can get any kind of infor-mation on the net, so is this a reasonfor the government to pass laws.”
Corn- Revere also said the mainreason for free speech is to promoteinformation and that is why theFirst Amendment is the mostimportant amendment of all.
He said courts have continued tohave problems with new technolo-gy and how to treat it because theyassume it is not protected.
“Although broadcasting is aform of technology, it is treated dif-ferently under the FirstAmendment,” Corn-Revere said.
He said congress passed a law in1996 regulating the Internet“because there should be no limit towhat is said, only seen.”
Kristen Culp / Staff photographerRobert Corn-Revere, a lawyer specializing in First Amendment rights, gave aspeech titled “The First Amendment: From Crystal Sets to Cyberspace” onTuesday night in Coleman Hall Auditorium. “The internet is an amazing capabili-ty and it is quite a revolution,” Corn-Revere said.

Public needs to payattention to real facts
In response to Ben Bomer’sresponse on Nov. 9, I’d like to say thatall that stuff is new information to me.It’s not, however, and Clinton hatingconservatives, like Bomer, love to spitout the same old jargon. Technically,Clinton did not lie, but if he did, it stillwouldn’t be perjury because in thePaula Jones case the judge deemed theLewinski testimony nonmaterial and ofno significance.
Lied to the people? Who hasn’t?What about Iran Contra, the U2 spyplane, Vietnam! These issues seemmore important than sex, but maybeit’s you who is taken by the media.Find the crime then the criminal, notvice versa. A premeditated scalping?Oh yes, what about Linda Tripp’s 20hours of taped conversations with
Lewinski and that she took her dressand put it in a safety deposit box?What about the bug on Tripp placed byKen Starr to talk to Lewinski and theattempt to bug the president? In regardto public support for impeachment, Idon’t know where you get your statis-tics from, but the plan backfired as Iknew it would.
Democrats made history gainingseats in the House and breaking evenin the Senate. The fact is the public issick of it all, when will you let it go?In your future, Bomer, I suggest youstick to chemistry and leave politics tothose who know what they’re talkingabout. I’m done mudslinging Bomer
and I hope you are, too, because anyresponse to this response would bepetty and typical of your ideology.

Student Senate members last week approved arecommendation to have faculty advisers par-ticipate in the distribution of Career Servicesinformation.
While this is a mere suggestion on behalf of thestudent body, academic advisers campuswide need tomake every effort to comply with this request.
The services provided by the staff of CareerServices is valuable and irreplaceable. They play amajor role in Eastern’s students’ futures.
Anything and everything available to aid in thisprocess should be provided, making academic advis-ers the most logical starting point.
Each student is required to meet with an adviseronce a semester to planthe next semester’s classschedule.
During this time,each adviser should takeit upon himself or herselfto help advance each stu-dent’s career opportuni-
ties.Shirley Stewart, director of Career Services, said
many faculty members have not participated in orbeen effective at distributing information in the past.
Granted, faculty advisers do not receive extracredit units for being advisers, but taking two sec-onds out of a session to remind students of an invalu-able resource, Career Services, isn’t a huge burden.
This will not only benefit students but the CareerServices program as a whole.
Sadly, the location of Career Services remains amystery to most students on campus, even beyondgraduation.
But Room 11 of the Student Services Buildingshould become a home away from home for studentswho want to do something with their lives after grad-uation.
And faculty advisers have the power to push stu-dents in the right direction.
Advisers must make a conscientious effort to par-ticipate in the distribution of Career Services infor-mation. The more people involved, the more success-ful and prepared Eastern’s future graduates will be.

No this is not the pre-lude to some out-landish fairytale, butthis is the true account
of three 21-year-old men forcedto spend the weekend together ina plush St. Louis hotel.
These four men were spend-ing the weekend in St. Louis cov-ering the Mid-America PressInstitute’s monthly conference byday and exploring the happeningcity’s hot spots by night.
As we were greeted by the Gateway Arch upon enteringthe city, plans for the weekend started being made. We knewsome of what we wanted to do because we had all been thereand toured the city by car in the past. This weekend, all wehad was our feet and our desire to just “do something.”
We were checking into the hotel when I happened to noticeAl Snow. Some of you may recognize him as a famous WorldWrestling Federation personality. And being the college-agedmale that I am, I also recognized him. After briefly acknowl-edging Mr. Snow, we trekked to the 10th floor to examine ourrooms when we were greeted by a few leashes full of poodles,poodles of all shapes, sizes, hair styles and even colors.
“This is a really nice hotel,” I said. “The bellhops walk thecustomers’ dogs here.”
Just then, a bellhop passed us walking a tie-dyed poodle.How sick is that?
Randomly throughout the weekend, we encountered vari-ous WWF superstars such as Goldust, the Undertaker, JimRoss and the New Age Outlaws. And we also encounteredmany more poodles, none of which belonged to any wrestlers.These mysterious sightings were soon explained when AlSnow told me the WWF was in town to film Sunday night’spay-per-view “Survivor Series” and the poodles and their own-ers were in town for a poodle convention.
With these mysteries solved and the time being slightly aftermidnight, we were able to put on our walking shoes and hitthe streets of St. Louis where we found LaCleve’s Landing, asmall commercial district just a few blocks north of the Arch.Now call this a shameless plug if you like, but this was themost fun I have had away from Chicago with three guys I real-ly didn’t know outside of working with them a few days out
of the week.We didn’t get very far before
we found the Morgan StreetBrewery, our stomping groundsfor the evening. After all, we didstill have three and a half hours tokill before closing time. Herecomes the plug.
The brewery, being more thana block long and a couple storieshigh, had a little something foreveryone. Just inside, the atmos-phere was very much in touch
with the more mellow clientele with the soft backgroundmusic and spotless floor and couples sharing micro brews inthe corner booths. Looking for a little more, we hiked to thesecond floor to find a slightly rowdier bunch playing pool andhanging out in little groups of three to five. But still in searchof the obnoxiously loud dance mixes that we heard from out-side, we made our way all the way back to the dance floor thatwas so packed, I still have handprints and footprints indentedfrom head to toe. This place was happenin’. But at 3:25 a.m.,Semisonic began ushering out the crowd with their hit,“Closing Time,” and the Metro Police began carrying outthose too exhausted to walk.
But with our night not yet over, we had to find the WhiteCastles located nearest to Charleston on the south side of thecity.
At 8:06 the next morning, we were confronted by everycollege student’s worst nightmare: the alarm clock everyone istoo tired to get up and turn off. We had to get up because, afterall, we were in St. Louis to learn from a distinguished group ofprofessional journalists, not chase poodles and wrestlers andexpensive beer.
So after a day chock full of learning and journalistic writ-ing we hit the streets yet again. I had no idea so much funcould be had in an unfamiliar city with three people I hadnever really talked to outside of work.
Journalists, wrestlers, and poodles; oh my!
Journalists, wrestlers and poodles “... we were in St.Louis to learn froma distinguishedgroup of profes-sional journalists,not chase poodles,wrestlers andexpensive beer.”

The Faculty Senate Tuesdayheard reports about the use of fundsfrom the student technology fee topurchase computer equipment andthe progress of the 24-hour computerlab.
“The (student technology fee) isbeing used for improving technolo-gy,” said John Henderson, director ofUser Services.
Henderson said one goal of thestudent technology fee is to be ableto replace all computers in open labsevery four years.
Henderson estimates 473 of the481 computers in open labs will befour years old or younger in fiscalyear 1999, assuming 122 computersare replaced in 1999. The computersolder than four years are Applemachines and will remain on campusbecause of the programs available onthem.
In the 1998 fiscal year, about$380,000 from the student activityfee was used to purchase 174 com-
puters and other technological equip-ment.
Henderson also reported to thesenate on the progress of the pro-posed 24-hour computer lab inGregg Triad.
“We are committed to putting 50new machines … in an open-labenvironment,” Henderson said.
The 24-hour computer lab is cur-rently in the design speculationprocess, Henderson said.
Faculty Senate member JohnAllison inquired about the lack ofspeed and readiness of access withthe current computer technology.
“It’s often the case for me in my
office that when I try to log on (thenetwork), I can’t,” Allison said.
Henderson said attempts toupgrade the network are currentlyunderway.
He said one goal is to take stu-dents out of the dialing environmentand put them in the network environ-ment, he said.
Bill Witsman, director of informa-tion systems and technical supportinformation, discussed two proposedprojects regarding computer-assistedlearning. The First Class and Mallardprograms would give instructors anopportunity to use computer technol-ogy to aid their teaching.
Both these programs, which canbe used on both Macintosh andWindows platforms, are still beingevaluated, Witsman said.
The First Class program will be e-mail and newsgroup-oriented and theMallard program will deal withteaching evaluation, Witsman said.
“(The First Class and Mallardprograms) will be used by facultymembers to extend the classroom,”Witsman said.

The Council on Academic Affairs Thursday may hearreports from the five subcommittees reviewing the integratedcore.
The CAA will meet at 2 p.m. in the Arcola/Tuscola Roomof the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
Each subcommittee is responsible for reviewing one seg-ment of the integrated core and holding at least one openhearing to receive input from the university communitybefore reporting their findings to the CAA, said CAA ChairBill Addison.
Some of the subcommittees may report their findings tothe committee at Thursday’s meeting, he said.
The course proposal format was scheduled to be discussedat this week’s meeting, but it was referred to the UniversityAcademic Assessment Committee and will not be discusseduntil it is referred back to the CAA.
“(The course proposal format) is the form that (academic)departments use when they propose a new course or a revisedcourse,” Addison said.
Addison said each new course proposal must be presentedto the department curriculum committee and the college cur-riculum committee before it is presented to the CAA.
The CAA also will discuss placing a new item from theLumpkin College of Business and Applied Sciences on theagenda for next week’s meeting, he said.

Murray’s playoff hopes stay alive with victoryThe message for Murray State is very simple
– don’t give up just yet.While the Racers’ 46-44 loss Saturday to
Tennessee State gave the Tigers the Ohio ValleyConference championship and automatic bid tothe I-AA playoffs, hope is still alive for MurrayState.
The playoffs consist of a 16-team field: eight automatic bids forconference champions and eight at-large bids. If Murray State can beatIndiana State this weekend, itwould give the Racers an 8-3record. Making the playoffs with an at-large bidis not that much of a stretch, considering a fewfactors:
■ One of Murray’s losses came at the handsof I-A Brigham Young, something that can winsome points with the committee.
■ The Ohio Valley Conference has had twoteams make the playoffs in 11 of the past 14years. Eastern was one of those teams in 1996,getting the at-large bid with an 8-3 record – thePanthers lost 21-14 to Northern Iowa in the firstround.
■ Murray State is currently No. 14 in theUSA Today / ESPN I-AA poll. A win Saturdaymay improve its ranking, making it that muchharder to look past the Racers as one of the 16teams to make the cut.
The field will be announced at noon centralstandard time Sunday.
What’s happening?Eastern Kentucky was picked in the presea-
son to win the conference title. However, at 5-5,the Colonels are faced with a losing season,pending the outcome of Saturday’s gameagainst the Panthers.
In any case, Eastern Kentucky has history onits side – the Colonels have had only two losingseasons in coach Roy Kidd’s 35 seasons, the lasttime in 1972 when the team went 5-6.
The Colonels are coming off a 19-0 homeloss to Appalachian State, which was the firsttime since 1973 they were shutout at home.
Saturday’s game between the Panthers andColonels is the only OVC game left as all theother teams have either completed their sched-ules or are playing non-conference opponents.
The absent leaderEven though Middle Tennessee running
back Torin Kirtsey left the team two weeks ago,he is the OVC’s top rusher. Corey Williamsfrom Southeast Missouri is second with nomore games remaining.
Eastern senior back Justin Lynch is thirdwith 74 yards per game, but is out this weekwith turf toe. Lynch finishes his career as thePanthers’ No. 7 all-time rusher with 2,596
yards.0-1998, most likely
It hasn’t been a good decade for Tennessee-Martin. Saturday’s loss to Eastern puts the teamat 0-10 and having lost 30 of its last 32 games.
Last year’s only win came in the final game,
against a scholarship-less Austin Peay squad.This time around it is a much different sce-
nario as the Skyhawks have the task of travelingto I-A University of Alabama-Birmingham toclose out the 1998 season.

to adjust to the new coach Saturday.Wittke said he does not know howthe team is going to react to him asthe head coach.
“It’s too early to tell,” Wittke said.“We had a meeting (Monday) nightto discuss the condition of Spoo. Ourplayers reacted positively, they just
have to pull together and have goodleadership from the seniors.”
As for Wittke having to pull dou-ble duty, being both the offensivecoordinator and the head coach onSaturday, the idea had never crossedhis mind.
“I haven’t really thought aboutthat, I’m more concerned about tak-ing things one day at a time and tocover our bases and make sure thekids are prepared come Saturday,”Wittke said.

technician,” Combes said.“With him, I learn things byaccident because he rubs off onme and I don’t even realize I’mdoing the new moves.”
Combes, who startedwrestling at age five, said thatover the years his strengths onthe mat have been his defen-sive wrestling on his feet andhis adjustments to differentopponents.
His self-proclaimed weak-ness is his offense on his feet,as he said he is more of acounter wrestler.
But even if Combes is notperfect with the offense on hisfeet, McCausland said he hasbeen a valuable asset to theteam.
“Tom, along with the otherthree national qualifiers fromlast year, bring great experi-ence to this team,” he said.“His leadership is somethingthat the team can hopefullyfeed on and breed success.”
The Panthers take on Miami
of Ohio on Thursday, andCombes said he is chomping atthe bit to get the season away.
“We’ve had some greatmatches against Miami ofOhio,” Combes said. “We areall ready to get out there andbeat up on someone besidesourselves.”
This season is Combes’ finalcampaign as a Panther and he’sexcited to get a chance toimprove his outstanding junioryear and achieve his goal ofbeing an All-American, as wellas leading the team to evenmore success this year.

have been going in that area.Klein said no changes have beenmade defensively, so the team’sfocus has been entirely on theoffensive execution.
Sophomore Colleen McShane,who was nursing a sprained ankleduring last week’s game, will pos-sibly play a few minutes againstIndiana State, Klein said.
The remaining players havebeen healthy, which place anyadditional handicaps on theteam.
Indiana State is a strong bas-ketball team from the MissouriValley Conference and the
Panthers will once again be facedwith a tough competitor.
Indiana State defeated Easternlast year on its home court, andthe Panthers know they’ll be upagainst a strong opponent, butKlein said he is hoping this won’thold anything back from the play-ers.
“Any competitor is mentallyprepared for its first home game,”Klein said. “In our first loss (toSt. Louis), we didn’t play well,but the team is mentally preparedand focused for the intensity.”
Klein feels the Panthers havethe ability to be a strong team likeIndiana State and they can havethat strength early in the season.He is looking forward to gettingthe game started and going after awin.

game against us last year,”Samuels said. “He played pointguard for them two-years ago as afreshman, which means he hasgood ball handling skills and hecan make plays in the clutch.
“He is a tough match up for usat 6 foot 5 inches.”
With junior Mark Polite andsophomore Kyle Hill both nurs-ing a sore ankle the match-upmay get a little tougher.
“Polite turned an ankle, and hewill be a little hobbled. He maybe a little slow, but he will play,”Samuels said. “Kyle turned hisankle on the last shot of the game
and it is a little swollen thismorning. I don’t think theinjuries are severe, but it couldlimit them a bit.”
Polite said he has gonethrough treatment to help him getready for the game.
“It’s OK, it was a little sore,but I will be OK by tomorrow,”Polite said. “I will go throughtreatment three or four timestomorrow so I will be ready fortip-off.”
Eastern will also need to makea conscious effort at blocking outthe Sycamores on the boards,Samuels said.
“I don’t think that we haveplayed a team that will do asgood of a job at keeping us offthe boards,” he said.
Indiana State may be without
starting point guard MichaelMenser, who broke his nose in acollision with a teammate againstIndiana.
“If he (Menser) doesn’t play itmeans they will start a biggerlineup,” Samuels said.
Against Western Michigan,Green started at the point, withMatt Renn moving to forwardand Brian Geisen getting the startat center.
The Panthers have lost the lasttwo meetings against theSycamores, but Samuels saidEastern should have an advantageplaying at home.
“We haven’t won against them(in the last two meetings),”Samuels said. “But we are athome and that should be someadvantage.”

Cutler wins league’s first national coaches honorFor the first time in the five-
year history of the AmericanVolleyball Coaches AssociationDivision I National Player of theWeek Award, the recipient hailsfrom a team in the Ohio ValleyConference.
Panther junior Meleah Cutlerreceived the honor for her effortsin the Panther’s conference clinch-ing weekend.
“I was very shocked,” thejunior outside hitter said. “I feelreal privileged, but it’s the team’stoo. I wouldn’t have gotten whereI am without them.”
Cutler led the offense in theweekend sweep that earned thePanthers sole possession of theOVC regular season title.
The junior outside hitter hit.442, while recording 46 kills, 44digs, 13 blocks, 12 assists and 11aces for the week.
In a five-game win overMurray State Saturday, Cutler tal-lied a career-high 24 kills to goalong with 22 digs, six blocks andthree aces.
Cutler became only the 14thplayer in Panther history to record1,000 career digs. She also rankseighth in the nation in serviceaces, averaging 0.62 a match.
“It is tremendous for her aswell as the whole team,” headcoach Betty Ralston said. “It isgreat recognition for the confer-ence and it is nice heading into
this weekend.”
Not to be forgottenCutler was not the only Panther
to be rewarded for good play lastweek.
Freshman Marcia Hahn joinedCutler on the list of OVC hon-orees. Hahn was named OVCFreshman of the Week.
“I am pretty excited and prettysurprised,” Hahn said. “It gives usa little extra confi-dence going intothe weekend.”
This marks thesecond time thisseason two Pantherswere recognized bythe OVC on thesame week.
In nine games, Hahn recorded12 kills and six digs, while hitting.314. Hahn checked in with a per-sonal and team season-high 10blocks in the match againstMurray. She also added nine killsand hit .348 in the victory over theRacers.
“It is nice for Marcia,” Ralstonsaid. “She had a good weekend. Itwas another case of so many peo-ple doing so many things. It’sgreat because so many peoplehave been contributing.”
Barely making the cutMorehead State needed just
one win over the weekend to cap-
ture the final spot in the OVCtournament.
After failing in their firstattempt against Middle Tennessee,the Eagles got a 3-2 win overTennessee Tech.
The Eagles (15-16) are on aroll, having now won seven oftheir last nine matches. They willnow prepare for a first roundmatch-up against SoutheastMissouri.
Rolling into the tourneyOVC Tournament participant
Southeast Missouri will enter thisyear’s tournament on a three-match win streak. SEMO won allthree matches in the final week ofplay to improve to 21-11 overall,11-5 in the OVC.
No. 3 SEMO will look toextend its winning streak when itfaces Morehead in first roundtournament action.
Stumbling into the tourneyMurray State ended its 1998
campaign on a bit of a down note.The Racers dropped both of theirOVC matches last week to fall to12-17 overall, 9-9 in the confer-ence.
Murray earned the fifth seed inthe tourney and will face fourthseed Austin Peay in the firstround.

Though he is only 125 pounds,senior wrestler Tom Combes iscarrying a heavy load on hisshoulders. One of the four nation-al qualifiers from a year ago,Combes is looking to lead thePanthers to another successfulwrestling season.
Combes, who is in his thirdyear at Eastern, has every right totalk about his personal goals andachievements, yet his focusremains on the entire team.
“Sure, I personally want to
be an All-A m e r i c a n ,”Combes said.“But I’d reallylike to see thisteam cometogether andbeat the teamsthat are rankedahead of us. Iwant to prove that we are betterthan the teams ranked higher.”
Combes is coming off a stellar31-8 junior season, which heplaced first in the NCAA EastRegional, and then went 3-2 in thenational championship meet.
Combes said winning theregional a year ago and beingnamed outstanding wrestler of thetournament were his greatestmoments so far at Eastern, but hestill made mention of the team.
“We had a 10-2 dual meet
record last year,” Combes said.“That was not only special for me,but it was special for everyoneassociated with this team, andhopefully we can build from thatthis season.”
It hasn’t always been great forCombes, as he saw his share ofdisappointment his first year here.
“I came in a little heavy mysophomore year,” Combes said. “Idefinitely didn’t prepare as well asI should have and I certainly tookmy lumps and was only about a.500 wrestler. I did learn from thatseason,though, and I’ve been ableto turn things around for the bet-ter.”
The senior captain credits a lotof his success to head coach RalphMcCausland.

After a disappointing loss lastweek to St. Louis, the women’sbasketball team has regrouped andrebuilt its confidence as it hostsIndiana State at 4:45 p.m. in LantzGymnasium.
Tonight is the first home gameof the season and the Panthers areready to go. Head coach JohnKlein said he hopes that last week’sdefeat didn’t take away any confi-dence.
“We hope to build up the teamand put an emphasis on keepingour heads up,” Klein said. “We’relooking for things to get better.”
The Panther’s half-court offenseas well as turnovers were the mainproblems the team faced against St.Louis, and those two areas havebeen the main focus in recent prac-tices. Klein said he feels the teamis getting better and doing a betterjob.
Eastern’s biggest area of con-cern is in executing offensively andlimiting its turnovers. Practiceshave been focused on improvingboth of these weaknesses. Withinthe execution are many things theteam has been taking one by one.
The women have been practic-ing to keep guards open and be ableto hit their shots, along with pre-venting turnovers and cutting backon transition baskets.
“The main thing we’re improv-ing on is our offense, but in the exe-cution there are many things,”Klein said.
Playing on the team’s homecourt will hopefully be an advan-tage for the team and bring about avictory. Klein said any time youwin it builds confidence and theteam is only playing to win.

It could be hard to tell whichteam is Eastern and which isIndiana State at 7:05 p.m.Wednesday when the two meet inLantz Gymnasium.
“Indiana State is kind of like us,it plays man to man defensively,”Panther head coach Rick Samuelssaid. “It runs the motion offenselike us, and when you get into agroove (on offense) its good. It’sstill early so (the offense) is stillkind of coming and going for us.The game might come down towho has the longest or the laststreak.”
The Sycamores (1-1) enter thegame after defeating WesternMichigan 79-77 Monday at home,and falling Saturday to 17thranked Indiana 76-70 inBloomington, Ind.
The Panthers Monday playedtheir first regular-season game ofthe year defeating Missouri-Baptist80-54.
Eastern needs to get out to a bet-ter start against a more potentSycamore team than it did againstMissouri-Baptist, Samuels said.
“It should be intense from theget go, (against Missouri-Baptist)we were a bit passive, but IndianaState has a group that comes toplay every night,” he said.
“We’re going to start in theman-to-man, you don’t want tostart playing zone because that willgive their shooters good looks.
“We can’t let them shoot threeslike they did in the first half againstIndiana. If you let them get startedoffensively you’re in trouble.”
Indiana State offensively is ledby forward Nate Green, who hasaveraged 16 points-per game andhas connected on 4-of-5 threepointers.

Wittke takes over for Spoo
By Matt WilsonSports editor
Panther offensive coordinatorRoy Wittke will be taking over thehead coaching duties this Saturdaywhen Eastern travels to EasternKentucky for the final game of theseason. Wittke will lead thePanthers in the absence of headcoach Bob Spoo, who is expectedto be released from the hospitallater this week.
This is Wittke’s ninth year atEastern, so he said he will feelsomewhat comfortable makingdecisions in the absence of Spoo.
“I don’t necessarily look at thehead coach as being my titlebecause my role has still not
changed,” Wittke said. “If anadministrative decision has to bemade in the absence of Spoo then Iwill have to step in and makethem.”
Wittke said he would not feeluncomfortable about making atough call such as to go for it onfourth down or not because Spoowould normally consult Wittkebefore making that type of a call.
Just because Wittke will be thecoach on Saturday, that does notmean the Panther game plan willchange at all.
“Things will run continue to runas normal as they can when we’rein a situation like this,” Wittke said.“All the coaching staff is going tohave to pitch-in together and pickup some of the slack.”
Not only is the coaching staffgoing to have to pitch-in, but theplayers are going to have to be able
