OCCUPY EIU

By Shelley Holmgren Managing Editor

It began Monday at noon with graduate student Chris Wagner and friends setting up camp next to the Doudna Fine Arts Center. In hand, signs stated, “We are the 99%.”

By 11 p.m. Tuesday, temperatures dropped to 40 degrees and stinging rain poured down. Wagner and fel-low students Sarah Audette and Eric Luminais wrapped themselves in blankets donated to them by other students.

With a sleeping bag, a small tent and their beliefs in tow, they pre-pared to camp out for the night. “Occupy EIU” had begun.

The first “Occupy” movement began on Sept. 17 on Wall Street when 2,000 people rallied in Low-er Manhattan and marched up

Broadway. From there, the partici-pants stopped at Zuccotti Park, now known as “Liberty Square.”

The movement has T-shirts mar-keting its key slogan “We are the 99%”, gained global attention and even has its own Twitter hashtag.

But what does it mean to “Oc-cupy”? Wagner said it is a way for those frustrated by the acts of the government to join together and show solidarity. Most of all, he add-ed, it is about people becoming in-formed.

Gr a d u a t e s t u d e n t Br e n d a n Hughes said each “Occupy” city has a different central focus, depending on the needs and concerns of that particular community. For East-ern, one of those concerns can be the most recent push by the Illinois government to cut pension funding, he said.

During Tuesday, several students joined in – some to “occupy,” some merely taking a cigarette break and curious what this group was gather-ing for.

One of these students was Jef-frey Mantlo, a senior English major, who said he understands both sides of the “Occupy” argument.

However, “at the end of the day, corporations still need to make money,” he said. “That's just the world we live in.” He added he was “definitely enlightened” by the con-versation's he had with the “Occu-py” crowd on Tuesday.

The “Occupy” movement has had many critics. One of those is House Majority Leader Eric Can-tor, who compared the Occupy Wall Street protesters to radical Tea Party activists. To those concerns, Hughes believes the “Occupy” movement

needs time to grow and continue a public conversation.

“I don't expect a united message to come out tomorrow, but I do ex-pect it to come out in the future,” he said.

As o f Oc t . 15 , the “Occu -py” movement has gone g lob-al with 1,500 protests in 82 coun-tries as part of a global day of ac-tion. “Occupy” movements have also been spreading to Illinois cit-ies like Champaign, Bloomington-Normal and quite prominently Chi-cago, where more than 200 protes-tors were arrested this past weekend.

Wagner said this is unfortunate because the intent of the movement is to be peaceful.

“When violence breaks out, it distorts the message,” he said.

Audette, a junior music educa-tion major, believes college students

are affected by this movement be-cause they are the ones being bur-ied under student debt in order to find a job in an economy that is not hiring.

Under the “Occupy” belief, 1 percent of worldwide society con-trols more than 35 percent of the global wealth. This leaves the rest of the “99%” – the teachers, students, workers and laborers.

Dani'ca Lehman, a freshman mu-sic education major, said she's been affecting by the “1%” the move-ment calls against.

“A bigger corporation took my dad's job two years ago and since then he has been unemployed,” she said. “I've been bouncing from job to job. This is not the way to live.”

Students begin to 'Occupy EIU'

By Kathryn Richter Staff Reporter

The Student Senate is reaching out to students as a part of their strategic planning process.

Through the Strategic Outreach Committee, a subcommittee of the Strategic Planning Committee, members are gathering feedback from students to implement more effective policies as a reflection of the needs of the student body.

Jenna Mitchell, a junior politi-

cal science major and the chair of the Student Outreach Committee, said she started setting up a table in front of the University Food Court in the Martin Luther King Jr. Uni-versity Union in order to educate students about the student govern-ment and to hear their concerns and feedback.

“The main goal is to get back a lot more feedback then we have in the past years,” Mitchell said.

Occupy EIU is a grassroots protests sparked by the "We are the 99%" movement which aims to call attention to the current economic crisis. The epicenter of the movement is in New York City, where Occupy Wall Street protestors have been occupying Zuccotti Park since Sept. 17; members of Occupy EIU have been camped outside of Doudna since Monday and plan on staying through out the week.

The City Council voted to approve a resolution to update Charleston’s build-ing codes at Tuesday’s meeting.

Charleston is currently operating un-der 2003 building codes. The approved changes will update one -and two-family residential homes to comply with 2006 codes. All other buildings will comply to 2009 codes.

Although all council members voted

in favor of the resolution, council mem-ber Jim Dunn said he felt afraid that some of regulations might affect those building homes in rural areas and ulti-mately cost them more than in-town res-idents.

“We’ve had growth in rural areas,” Dunn said. “It’s just a concern.”

City Planner Steve Pamperin said the building permit fees are estimated to al-ready be around $2,000 for a $200,000 home and would not increase with the updated codes.

Council member Larry Rennels add-ed that updating the codes would not cause major significant changes in con-struction costs.

Rennels said the council opted for the 2006 codes because the 2009 codes re-quired sprinklers in residential homes, which would cost more for residents.

He added that if codes are not up-graded, it would affect their ISO rating and insurance rates will go up for citi-zens.

A square beyond compare

By Brad yorkVerge Editor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dawson has high hopes for

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BAttLE Of tHE BANDS RESULtS pAGE 3B ‘CLASH’ REVIEw pAGE 4B

By Colleen KitkaAssistant Verge Editor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Students can switch opposing college shirts for Eastern spirit shirts today in the Library Quad.

The University Board is having “‘Bleed Blue’ Spirit T-shirt Swap” where students can bring shirts from other colleges and universities.

The students will be allowed to pick from dif-ferent Eastern shirts that were donated from dif-ferent departments.

Emily Ritter, a graduate advisor to the UB and a graduate assistant of the Student Life of-fice, said other college shirts are seen around campus everyday.

Jacob Swanson, the Homecoming Chair for UB, said this swap is to increase blue around campus.

“We can bolster the EIU school spirit, you know we bleed blue,” Swanson said. “So over and over again we are trying to reinforce to these

students that we bleed blue; we don’t bleed ISU red or U of I orange.”

Ritter said it is a chance to give to charities and get Eastern apparel.

The shirts that are collected will be given to the Student Community Service office to give out to local charities, Ritter said.

Swanson said the shirts that are handed out will not be the same as the Homecoming spirit shirts. He also said this allows students to get a spirit shirt while also getting another shirt.

Swanson said students at the football games are suppose to be cheering on the Panthers, and they should not be wearing the shirts from oth-er schools.

“There is no reason to be wearing other schools’ shirts,” Swanson said.

Swanson said he wants to show others that he has school spirit.

“All week I will be wearing blue because this is the school I go to, this is the school I chose to go to, so that is what I am going to do,” he said.

Ritter said she believe students wear the shirts of other schools because they have friends, fam-ily members or someone else who attend that school. She also said another reason could be they like the colors of the other school.

The T-shirt swap will also be a chance for or-ganizations to gain points.

Swanson said each organization could donate shirts to gain points. They gain one point for five shirts, but can only gain up to four points.

The “‘Bleed Blue’ Spirit T-shirt Swap” will be at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the Library Quad.

If the weather conditions are bad, the event will be moved into the Bridge Lounge of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Swanson said, “This is EIU’s campus, espe-cially during homecoming week, we want to bleed blue, we want to have panther pride, we want to have Eastern school spirit.”

CHICAGO — Chicago Mayor Rahm Eman-uel said Tuesday he hopes to find common ground with Gov. Pat Quinn over a massive pro-posal to expand gambling in Illinois, but Quinn said he's not looking to compromise.

The two Democrats, who engaged in a round of public sniping over the issue this summer, spoke a day after Quinn laid out a framework for a gambling expansion he could accept that was considerably smaller than the proposal passed by the legislature in May. The original bill includes a Chicago casino for which the mayor lobbied ex-tensively before the vote in Springfield.

Emanuel struck a conciliatory tone on Tues-day, saying he expects Senate leaders to intro-duce an amended bill addressing Quinn's con-cerns by Friday.

"Now that (Quinn has) laid out some po-sitions, you'll see the proponents down in the

Legislature lay out their reforms to the original bill and that's how you find common ground," Emanuel said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "In my view ... we're moving forward. There'll be a lot of commonality I assume. And we can then work off a common set of goals to make progress."

Lawmakers never sent their bill to Quinn be-cause they feared his veto. On Monday, he told them to craft an entirely new bill and not pur-sue the original.

Quinn said he would accept the five proposed new casinos in the bill, including Chicago's. But he rejected a plan to introduce slot machines at race tracks across the state, as well as slot ma-chines at Chicago's two airports. He also pro-posed giving oversight of a Chicago casino and related contracts to the state Gaming Board, rather than a city-run casino development com-mittee.

Emanuel badly wants a casino in Chica-

go, and expressed impatience over the summer with Quinn's long deliberation over the mea-sure. Quinn responded by telling Emanuel to back off.

When asked about the plan Tuesday, Quinn stuck to his guns, saying his new framework is all he's willing to work with.

"You don't compromise on fundamental principles," Quinn said. "We're not going to al-low Chicago to have a casino and regulate it-self."

"We don't want to be the Las Vegas of the Midwest," he said.

Emanuel said he had a "good conversation" with Quinn when they spoke about the gover-nor's concerns over the bill, and that he came away encouraged.

"I've never said, 'My way or the highway.' That now how I do things," Emanuel told re-porters. "You're gonna see a lot of agreement as it relates to oversight as the goal."

Emanuel sees hope, 'common ground'

CHICAGO — United Airlines pilots elect-ed a new leader on Tuesday, just as they are ne-gotiating a joint contract with their co-workers at Continental.

Pilots voted in Jay Heppner as chairman of the Master Executive Council at the United branch of the Air Line Pilots Association.

He replaces Wendy Morse, who was elected just two years ago and was seen as a moderate after years during which the union took a hard line in negoti-ations with the company. Her term expires in Janu-ary, and she did not run for re-election.

Heppner has worked for United for 26 years. He is a Boeing 777 captain based in San Fran-

cisco and is chairman of the union's negotiating committee.

United and Continental merged a year ago. Both are run by United Continental Holdings Inc., which is combining them into a single air-line. United and Continental pilots are in ac-tive negotiations for a new contract to cover the combined airline.

"This election is about our new contract," Heppner said in a written statement. "There are assuredly other issues that need to be resolved in parallel, but none so critical" as a joint contract.

"We will continue to work with ALPA on a contract that is fair to our employees and the company," airline spokeswoman Megan McCar-thy said.

WASHINGTON — The House Ethics Com-mittee said Tuesday it would move ahead with an investigation of whether Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. tried to buy Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.

Chairman Jo Bonner, R-Ala., and ranking Democrat Linda Sanchez of California said the panel voted Oct. 13 to end its temporary defer-ral of the case that had been requested by the Justice Department. The department has with-drawn its request.

Jackson, D-Ill., has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with any wrongdoing. The case was deferred in September 2009.

Annie Tully, a sophomore psycholo-gy major, said she heard about Spotify from a friend about a month ago and has been using it on and off ever since.

“Right now I still use Pandora more frequently because I’m used to it,” Tul-ly said.

What makes Spotify different from other music programs is that songs can

be skipped numerous times, and the ad-vertisements are only about 10 seconds long so the playlist is only shortly inter-rupted, Tully said.

“Pandora doesn’t allow you to skip songs frequently, which gets irritating because you don’t always want to listen to the songs they suggest,” Tully said. “With Spotify I can listen to the songs that interest me.”

Tully said that getting used to Spo-tify is going to take some time because she has been using Pandora for so long.

Stephanie Slobodnik, a sophomore communication studies major, recently downloaded Spotify after coming across it on a friend’s Facebook page.

Slobodnik said that since she has started using Spotify she has grown to like it more than Pandora because it is more convenient incorporates her iTunes library.

“Once you download it, your iTunes library automatically syncs to Spotify, so you have all your music al-ready on there,” Slobodnik said.

While users can use their iTunes li-brary, they can also search for artists, albums and genres they want, and make a playlist of the songs they like, Slobodnik said.

“I feel like there’s an unlimit-ed amount of songs I can listen to, I could literally spend hours on there, especially since it connects to Face-book too,” Slobodnik said.

Sharing songs through Facebook and Twitter is also an option, so there will be no more copy and pasting You-Tube links on friends’ walls, Slobodnik said.

“I’m constantly on Twitter and Face-book sharing songs with my friends, so Spotify makes it that much easier to do

so,” Slobodnik said.Spotify also streams the music differ-

ently from Pandora because it can skip an unlimited amount of times, Slo-bodnik said.

“On Pandora you can only skip a select number of songs, so sometimes your stuck listening to songs you don’t like, and that’s frustrating” Slobodnik said.

“There is also a Spotify radio if you don’t want to listen to your iTunes, so if you’re listening to a certain art-ist and click on the artist radio the site will make a playlist of songs from that artist and similar ones they think you might like,” Slobodnik said.

Pandora acts as a radio as well, and just like Spotify creates playlists from popular artists, but the advertisements and restrictions of not being able to skip songs limits the quality of Pando-

ra, Slobodnik said.Marty Bruckner, a freshman busi-

ness management major, said she likes that Spotify connects to his Facebook account, so he can see which friends are using it and connect with their playlists as well.

“I like that I can share my playlists with my friends, that’s something you can’t do with Pandora,” Bruckner said.

On Spotify, people can write re-views on the artists or playlists, which assists to building a playlist worth lis-tening to, Bruckner said.

“I think that with all the unique things Spotify has to offer, it’s going to override music sites like Pandora and maybe even iTunes,” Bruckner said.

PRESENTATION

Students give opinions on online music service, Spotify

By Mel Boydston Staff Reporter

Prior to the start of their speech on guerilla marketing, guest speak-ers Karolyn Stoller and Ryne Craw-ford handed out free samples of Jim-my John’s sandwiches to students in Lumpkin Hall on Tuesday.

Crawford and Stoller addressed stu-dents as a part of the American Mar-keting Association’s efforts to bring more speakers to campus, who have franchising experience. The presenta-tion followed an AMA membership meeting.

Stoller has been working for Jimmy John’s for the past 11 years, having got started working at the company dur-ing college. She relayed her start at the company and how she found herself climbing the ladder to her current po-sition as the director of guerilla mar-keting.

Her initial job at the company had her working under James North, who is the current president of Jimmy John’s.

Stoller said that it was North who initially brought her into the market-ing side of the company and at first she had no interest in it, telling North, “Absolutely not. I don’t know any-thing about marketing, I’m an animal sciences major!”

However Stoller did find herself working in the marketing depart-ment, which has grown exponential-

ly since 2006. Stoller and Crawford both de-

scribed the guerilla marketing that they do as being very fast, a type of or-ganic, grassroots marketing campaign, a far different kind of promotion than you might expect to see out of such a large company.

“We’ll go anywhere there’s a group of people and give out free samples.” Stoller said.

The guerilla marketers spend most of their time traveling which can have its benefits and deficits.

Crawford, who is a guerilla market-ing leader, described his working life as being similar to the George Cloo-ney film “Up in the Air” minus the first class amenities.

“I haven’t gone grocery shopping in four years.” Crawford said. He elab-orated by telling the crowd that he spends most of his time in hotels and on the road and is rarely in one place longer than a weekend.

The guerilla marketing teams tend to focus in areas where there promo-tion will be the most widespread and effective. They handed out free sam-ples at a Dave Matthews concert in the summer and in college towns dur-ing the weekends when big rivalry games will be played, for example the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game.

The team has also implemented a promotion called the “Freaky Fast Flash Team.” The week leading up to the event, fliers and posted throughout

the area saying a date, time and loca-tion with no mention of Jimmy John’s. On that day and time, a vehicle with Jimmy John’s employees will go to the location and throw out free samples.

After the presentation, Stoller invit-ed students to come to Jimmy John’s corporate headquarters in Champaign to apply for guerilla marketing posi-

tions after graduation. “We’re just looking for rock stars,”

Stoller said. Jimmy John’s does have a tradition

of promoting within the company and giving employees a chance to advance and grow, one element of the company that students may look for in a poten-tial employer.

“I liked how she talked about work-ing her way up,” said Brianna Svec, a senior communications major.

Svec said she also admired the way that Jimmy John’s approaches their younger demographic.

Saturday Night Live has a long history of taking on politics and political figures in their sketches, and when they get the tone right, it’s hilarious.

In that tradition, SNL mocked the seem-ingly endless Republican presidential can-didate debates this weekend. How funny it was is debatable, but it was pretty accurate in its portrayal of how important each can-didate currently is.

Mitt Romney and Herman Cain were front and center, while Rick Perry was off to the side, facing the wall. Michele Bach-mann and Newt Gingrich were locked in closet together, Ron Paul was in the park-ing lot, John Huntsman wasn’t there, and, most importantly, Rick Santorum, played by Adam Samberg, was down the street on the barstool at a gay club between dancing couples.

Santorum has a long record of gay bash-ing and prides himself on his so-called “conservative values,” the keystone of which is the complete rejection of gay mar-riage.

He responded to SNL by calling the sketch “bullying.”

Santorum is a presidential candidate and former senator, and therefore a public fig-ure. He is fair game for any kind of paro-dy and satire within legal boundaries. It is completely unthinkable that he at any time would become president, but if hell does freeze over, the fun we have at the expense of the president in this country goes far be-yond placing him at a gay bar. If he can’t

handle an SNL sketch, how is he going to deal with the entire world making fun of him?

Setting all that aside, calling the relative-ly weak representation of himself on SNL “bullying” trivializes the actual epidemic of bullying. Teens and young adults across the country are dealing with this problem ev-ery day.

The statistics on bullying are scary. Half of all students experience bullying at some point, and 10 percent experience it on an ongoing basis. In 2010, it was estimated that 160,000 students missed school every day for fear of being bullied.

Sustained bullying affects a child’s so-cial and emotional development and cre-ates emotional scars that last far into adult-hood. Some experts believe students bring guns to school most often as retaliation for bullying.

Santorum might want to look at his own role in bullying. Teens who are perceived as gay or lesbian are often targeted by bullies more often than teens in other groups. One study, from isafe.org, reported nine out

of 10 gay teens said they’ve been bullied in the last year. Of those, half have been physically intimidated and another quarter have been physically assaulted.

For the past year, the news has been full of stories of teens committing suicide af-ter being relentlessly bullied. In September 2010, Tyler Clementi, 18, jumped off the George Washington Bridge in New York af-ter his roommate posted a video of him with another guy online.

The next day, Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in the head after his parents’ efforts to get school administrators to take action against Asher’s bullies went ignored.

Just last week, Jamie Hubley, 15, killed himself after writing that he couldn’t wait three more years to get out of high school. Not long before that, he had posted a “It Gets Better” video for the project started by sex columnist Dan Savage.

“It’s just too hard,” Hubley wrote. “This hurts too much. How do you even know it will get better?”

These are just a few of the heartbreaking stories coming from the teens of America. Bullying is not something to take lightly. It ruins lives and self esteem.

Santorum has never been the victim of bullying, and that’s not what SNL does. He should be ashamed of trivializing some-thing so serious.

LET TER TO THE EDITOR

Charleston is cracking down on stu-dents carrying fake IDs, after a recent investigation found students in east-cen-tral Illinois using fake Ohio and Pennsyl-vania driver’s licenses to try to get into 21-and-over establishments.

In Tuesday’s edition of The Daily East-ern News, Lt. Brad Oyer of the Charles-ton Police Department said at least 20 fake IDs have been confiscated during the investigation.

In Illinois you can face a fine of at least $350, and at most $750, plus a $139 court fee, if you’re caught presenting fake identi-fication, according to Eastern’s website.

Presenting false identification is also a felony, Oyer said, even if it’s not being used to purchase alcohol.

So put your fake IDs away and avoid peer pressure to drink and go to the bars. You’re not tricking anyone anymore with your fake IDs from other states.

Oyer said students were using fake IDs from other states, especially Ohio and Pennsylvania, because bartenders recognize fake IDs from Illinois more often because they see them all the time.

However, now bartenders will know exactly what to look for in out-of-state IDs, especially from Ohio and Pennsylva-nia.

Licenses issued after Jan. 10, 2011, should indicate John Kasich as the gov-ernor of Ohio across the upper left of the license, according to The News’ article.

Also, the upper right corner of real cards has three rows of arrows that are lined up with each other. In contrast, the fake IDs have staggered arrows. Also, the Ohio state seal in the lower right corner is clear on the real cards and dull on fake cards.

Getting caught using a fake ID can change the rest of your life by being on your record forever. It’s not worth a felony.

Even if you aren’t using an out-of-state ID, don’t think about presenting your fake Illinois to the bouncer at Styx anymore. Also, friends of underagers shouldn’t pass down their IDs once they’ve gotten a new one either.

Eastern’s website says the person who lends his or her ID to an underaged friend can be punished to with the same fine.

Oyer said if students have fake IDs, they should either cut it up or turn it into the police department. Even being caught with one in your wallet is a punishable offense.

So stop trying to cheat the system. Laws are laws, and you should abide by them.

Don’t risk you life after college by try-ing to get into a bar. You’ll have a felony on your record that will stick with you like a stamp on your forehead.

So cut up your fake ID and get rid of any temptation you have to use a fake ID this weekend or any other.

Several points of disagreement with GOP debate columnIn response to Mia Tapella’s Oct. 17 ar-

ticle, “If only the most recent GOP debate was the last,” I politely disagree. The com-ments levied against Rick Santorum were in poor taste, equating the Christian idea of marriage as “[not] really possible to separate [in] a conversation about marriage from the gay rights movement.”

It is possible to separate such a holy insti-tution as marriage from the LGBTQ com-munity, because the whole concept of “civ-il unions” and the like were unheard of until the sexual revolution of 1969. It’s Adam and

Eve, not Adam and Steve! Another point of contention I’d like to

bring up is the point of Santorum and Rom-ney and their views on the People’s “Re-public” of China. China, as far as I can re-member, has been an uneasy friend with the United States since Nixon. Saying that the Chinese are “cheaters” isn’t exactly unfound-ed. Chinese intelligence agents have ob-tained and sent back to their superiors valu-able information, including documents re-garding the F-22 Raptor aircraft and other weapons.

The Chinese, adhering to Maoism, want to dissect the society of the United States under the flag of the “People’s War,” forcing communism on all.

War between the US and China is inevita-ble. We just don’t know when it will happen.

This is a perfect example of the liberal media at work. Demonizing values that the Founding Fathers held dear, blatantly sling-ing mud on fact, and not staying impartial.

DISCUSSION

Poetry authors come to Dounda

Students and community mem-bers can play together at the play-ground Thursday.

The University Board is having the “Big Blue Playground-Family Fun Night” from 7 to 9 p.m. in the South Quad.

Jacob Swanson, the Homecom-ing coordinator for the UB, said they have activities that are fun for children, students and parents.

The activities include bingo, a coloring contest of Billy the Pan-ther for children, three inflatable for children, student-drawn cari-cature drawings and making key chains, magnets, paper weights and stepping stones.

Swanson said the concrete paws that wil l be used are from the “Paint a Paw” event last year. “Paint a Paw” was an activity last year to help raise money for charities and there were many paws left over.

Swanson said they are going to try something similar to “Paint a Paw” at the “Big Blue Playground-Family Fun Night.”

This year the paws will not cost

anything, Swanson said. There are three other types of

paws for those who attend to dec-orate. Attendees can make a small pin to wear to show spirit, a slight-ly bigger size paw magnet and a bigger one to make an Eastern paw paperweight.

Many of Eastern’s Greek organi-zations and Register Student Orga-nizations will have booths set up and run games that people can par-ticipate in.

Alison Adams, a graduate advisor for UB and a graduate assistant for the Student Life center, said there are 15 organizations to have reg-istered to have booths at the play-ground.

Adams said the “Big Blue Play-

ground-Family Fun Night” will give the community a chance to in-teract with Eastern’s students.

“It’s a great way for the commu-nity, faculty and staff with children to come out and interact with the students, show their school spir-it and have some fun,” Adams said. “It think it allows the community to get involved in homecoming in a fun and interactive way.”

Adams said while the “Big Blue Playhouse” is targeted toward fami-lies, everyone is invited to come.

The “Big Blue Playhouse- Fami-ly Fun Night” will be in the Grand Ballroom if the weather does not allow for outside activity.

Adams said she hopes the play-house helps to increase the school spirit in the community.

“I hope they can say they had a fun time,” Adams said. “With school spirit and an appreciation for Eastern and all that we do.”

Pamperin said the last time the codes have been updated was in 2004. He said by updating the codes, Charleston will be in accor-dance with the state’s guidelines.

“What we’re proposing is not stricter than what the state has al-ready,” Pamprin said. “We are con-sistent with what the state is requir-ing.”

The council also approved to amend the current unified devel-opment code regarding residential management offices in rental facil-ities.

Mayor John Inyar t sa id this change will allow residential com-plex owners to build office facilities as a part of an apartment complex.

Inyart said this measure will ad-dress only the management of maintenance and repairs in build-ings, not for shops to be built in the facilities.

He added that those wishing to build these offices would still have to apply for a conditional use per-mit.

Pamperin said the amendment will allow landlords to manage any other off-site prosperities they own from their buildings.

Gene Cottone, of 2010 Kim-berly Dr., voiced his concern over Charleston’s current laws on leaves burning.

He said that Charleston’s current policy allows for leaves to be burnt, and if residents have problems, they can call the fire department to put out the fire. However, Cottone said this is often not enough to pre-vent issues from arising.

“The problem is if you have re-spiratory problems, sometimes it’s too late,” he said.

He said i f residents have se-vere asthma, emphysema or other breathing problems, their lungs can become irritated from the burning leaves, which can ultimately force them to receive medical care that results in high bills.

Cottone said his neighbors were burning leaves on October 2, which caused breathing problems for his wife.

He said she is still taking nebu-lizer treatments every 4 hours and is unable to easily breathe.

Cottone said he wants the city of Charleston to take action immedi-ately.

“If it continues, I’m going to lo-cate to a different area. My wife can’t breathe,” he said.

Other resolutions and ordinanc-es approved:

-Authorizing temporary street closure for “Christmas in the Heart of Charleston”

-Entering into a mutual aid and assistance agreement between the public water utilities of the village of Ashmore and the city of Charles-ton

-Petition of Matt Bower for vari-ances of off street parking and side street set back at 1500 and 1522 Madison Ave.

- Resurfacing Decker Springs Road and South Fourth Street for the bid award of $144,309.90

COUNCIL, from page 1

She said in order to increase awareness about the student govern-ment, the Student Outreach Com-mittee distributes surveys and fact sheets.

The first table session for the Stu-dent Outreach Committee was Oct. 12.

Mitchell said they received about 150 completed surveys from the first session.

The surveys will continue to be distributed until November, when the surveys will be compiled for data, she said.

The Student Outreach Commit-tee sets up the table in the University Food Court every Wednesday from 9

a.m. to 1 p.m. “I just think it would be generally

effective if students knew more about student government, Mitchell said. “I don’t think students know what we actually do. It would be more benefi-cial if students knew what we are ac-tually doing.”

Student Body President Ed Hot-wagner, a senior math major, will run today’s student government meeting because of the Student Senate Speak-er’s absence.

Hotwagner said he is excited to run his first meeting.

Old business that will be discussed during the meeting will be the ap-proval of a funding proposal for the

expenses of the members of the Stu-dent Action Team to spend a day lob-bying in Springfield.

The money will be spent on trans-portation, sack lunches from Panther Catering, and soda for the members for $226.50.

As part of Student Action Team, members will represent Eastern in the state capitol of Springfield in or-der to lobby on behalf of the school.

The student government meets at 7 p.m. every Wednesday in the Arco-la-Tuscola Room in the Union.

SENATE, from page 1

OCCUPY, from page 1Who are the “1%”? In a study

conducted by Mother Jones on Oct. 10, the majority of the group is comprised of executives, managers, supervisors and lawyers.

One notion that has concerned the majority of “Occupy” groups is the notion of “Corporate person-hood,” which is when corporations are afforded the same rights of a nat-

ural person under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Hughes said there are both pos-itive and negative aspects to “corpo-rate personhood,” such as corpora-tions being protected against unrea-sonable searches.

However, Hughes added the “Oc-cupy EIU” concerns will depend on those who become involved.

He said if the group does not gain support, they will “Occupy” until the end of the week. However, if momen-tum is gained, Hughes said, “We’ll stay as long as we have to. We’re not going anywhere.”

CROSS COUNTRY

VIE WS

Now, with the Ohio Valley Confer-ence championship meet just around the corner, Ramos said she feels that her big finish at the Bradley Classic adds a load of confidence for herself going in.

Ramos is not only confident in herself, but also in the team’s chances going into the OVC cham-pionship.

“I think that this year we have a better chance to win it because our team is a little bit stronger this year,” she said. “We have some girls who were out of the season last year, who were held back and oth-

er girls who are stepping it up a lit-tle bit more.”

She said she l ikes her team’s chances of winning the OVC cham-pionship.

“I feel like our team is just 100 per-cent stronger than it was last year and we have a great chance to win.”

Ramos and the Panthers will com-pete in the OVC championship on Oct. 29 in Richmond, Ky.

Eastern among nation’s best kick returners

Eastern is currently No. 10 in the NCAA in kickoff returns, averag-ing 24.26 yards per return. Prior to his injury, red-shirt senior wide re-ceiver Lorence Ricks led the team in kick return yards. Since his inju-ry, sophomore defensive back Tavares Crawford has led the team. However, Crawford was inactive in the team’s last game against Murray State. Junior wide receiver Chris Wright took over return duties for Crawford, who was held out of the game by a coach’s de-cision.

Around the OVCThe OVC Offensive Player of the

Week is senior running back Mike Harris of Murray State. Harris rushed for 133 yards and four touchdowns in the Racers’ win over Eastern. Harris’ four touchdowns set a Murray State record for rushing touchdowns in a single game.

Also nominated for the award was Wright of Eastern.

The OVC Defensive Player of the Week is red-shirt sophomore defen-

sive back Antonio Harper of Tennes-see State. He had four tackles for a loss out of his nine total tackles. He also had 2.5 sacks and a forced fum-ble in Tennessee State’s 42-40 upset of nationally ranked Tennessee Tech.

Sophomore Antonio Taylor of Eastern was also nominated.

The OVC Specialist of the Week is kicker Zach Sharp of Tennessee Tech, who made four field goals and four extra points in the team’s loss to Ten-nessee State.

Eastern’s punter, Scott Weath-erford, was also nominated for the award.

The OVC Newcomer of the Week was red-shirt freshman quarterback Michael German of Tennessee State. German completed 19 of 29 pass-es, throwing for 232 yards and two touchdowns.

Eastern’s red-shirt freshman run-ning back AJ Woodson was also nom-inated for the honor.

Eastern men’s and women’s cross country team had a strong finish at the Bradley Classic in Peoria on Friday.

The men placed sixth while the wom-en finished 10th in team standings.

The top finishers for the men were senior Matt Feldhake who placed 40th with a time of 25:56.1, junior Graham Morris who placed 47th with a time of 26:08.2 and sopho-more Danny Delaney who placed 48th with a time of 26:09. Junior Jor-dan Jones and red-shirt sophomore Will Roth rounded out the top sev-en finishers for the Panther men with a 62nd and 64th place finish.

Junior Brian Mateas felt pretty confident going into the meet.

“I was looking forward to running and doing well at Bradley because it is usually a fast course,” Mateas said. “I

tried not to pay too much attention to time and tried not to let the weath-er conditions affect me.”

Out of the five teams that beat the Panther men, four are ranked region-ally. South Dakota State, Drake, Uni-versity of Illinios-Chicago and Loyola are ranked in the Midwest Region.

“We didn’t beat the schools that we wanted to beat, but we weren’t too far behind them,” said Mateas. “We had a few guys that really didn’t run too well, but also had a couple of guys step up and helped out the team big time. Once we get everyone running well, we should be a force to be reck-oned with.”

The top finishers for women were juniors Britney Whitehead and Gaby Duenas who placed 64th and 71st re-spectably. Red-shirt senior Megan Gingerich and red-shirt sophomore Emily Pedziwiatr rounded out the top seven finishers for the Panther women

in 85th and 97th.Red-shirt junior Olivia Klaus

thought the women competed very well against some of the top compe-tition at the meet.

Out of the nine schools that beat the Panther women, six are ranked nationally. Missouri, Illinois-State and Bradley are ranked in the Mid-west Region. Eastern Michigan and Butler are ranked in the Great Lakes Region and Lamar is ranked in the South Central Region.

“We had some women who had a good race and some who didn’t, but that is expected,” Klaus said.

Klaus said that she hopes the team will compete really well and have a chance of winning conference on Oct. 29.

The women’s rugby team is easi-ly the most successful sports team at Eastern,but their success goes largely unrecognized. The Panthers seeming-ly never lose,but the crowd is almost completely made up of family mem-bers and friends of the players. The lack of fans puzzles me because oth-er teams around Eastern struggle on a

year-to-year basis but still have thou-sands of fans in attendance.

Since 2007, the women’s rugby team has compiled a record of 44-3 for a winning percentage of .94 per-cent. Over that same period of time, the football team has compiled a re-cord of 24-30 for a winning percent-age of .44 percent. Although the foot-ball team has stumbled across hard times, the fans continue to file into

O’Brien Field on a week-to-week

basis even though the odds are that Eastern will come up short and notch another loss. I’m not trying to rip on the football team, but consider-ing that the football team is the most popular team on campus, I must compare their success over the past four seasons.

Rugby fans please stand up

The Eastern football team was just minutes away from taking its first Ohio Valley Conference win and spoiling the homecoming game for the Murray State Racers. However, a late score by the Racers, followed by a turnover by sopho-more quarterback Jimmy Garoppo-lo led to another Racer score, seal-ing the win for Murray State. The game’s final score was 36-27.

Eastern currently stands at 1-6 overall and 0-5 in the OVC. The Panthers are currently on a six game losing streak. The Panthers currently have a home record of 1-2, defeating only Illinois State, and losing to Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky. The Panthers have yet to win a game on the road, currently holding a record of 0-4.

Leman semi-finalist for Campbell Award

ient of the award must either be a senior or in his final year of eligi-bility, have at least a 3.2 GPA on a 4.0 scale and be a strong contribu-tor on the football field.

Losing streak at six gamesBy Grant Truccano & Dominic Renzetti Staff Reporter & Sports Editor

The Eastern men’s tennis team had an average outing at the SIU Fall Classic in Carbondale.

In singles, they went 5-12 against the South-ern Illinois University-Carbondale Salukis and the St. Louis University Bilikens.

Junior Michael Sperry went 1-1 against Southern Illinois-Carbondale and Saint Lou-is. Sperry beat Carbondale’s junior Brandon Florez 7-6 and 6-2, but lost to St. Louis Uni-versity’s junior Bobby Kidera losing his first set 6-7, winning his second 6-1, and lost his last 3-10.

Senior Matayas Hilgert went 2-0, taking on the Salukis and the Bilikens. Hilgert won his first match against Salukis freshman Szymon Opieczonek 6-1 and 6-1. He also beat junior Vuk Poledica of Saint Louis in one set 3-0.

Junior Warren Race went 0-2 at the Classic. Race lost to Southern Illinois-Carbondale fresh-man Martijn Admiraal by losing his first set 3-6, taking his second 6-4, and lost his third 3-10.

Team travels to Carbondale


Junior cross country runner Erika Ramos rewrote Eastern his-tory at this past weekend’s Brad-ley Classic. Ramos finished with a time of 21:47.28, finishing in 11th place in the 6K event.

Ramos was the team’s top fin-isher, while her time also broke the Eastern record for fastest fe-

male 6K finish. The previous re-cord was held by Jordan Johnson, set in 2003.

Ramos said after the way her season turned out last year, she was nervous for a repeat of re-sults.

“Before the race I was really nervous because last year dur-ing my season at this time it was when I started to get a lit-tle bit off track, and I just kind

of died off the rest of the sea-son,” she said. “It was just a bad rest of the season for me, pret-ty much.”

The 6K race, which is longer than what Ramos is used to, only added to her nerves entering the Bradly Classic.

“I was kind of expecting that to happen again during the race because it’s a 6K, which is a little bit longer,” said Ramos. “It’s one

of the longest races that I do since I’m not a distance runner; I was really nervous, I guess, from the start.”

However, as soon as the race be-gan, Ramos felt her mood change as she began to pace past her com-petition.

“The gun went off and I it just all went away and I felt like I had a bunch of confidence because I was passing people the entire time,”

she said.Ramos did not initially know

she had broken the school record after she finally crossed the fin-ish line, but says the feeling is great.

“I had a lot of support from everybody and people congrat-ulat ing me al l the t ime just makes it that much better,” she said.

Make room for RamosRunner resets record books at Bradley


The Eastern women’s soccer team currently stands with a record of 5-8-2 overall this year, while also posting a record of 4-2-0 in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Senior midfielder/forward Jessica Blake was named Ohio Valley Con-ference Offensive Player of the Week following last weekend’s performanc-es. The weekend held two matches, both against OVC foes Eastern Ken-tucky and Morehead State.

Blake supplied the game-win-ning goal in the Panthers’ 2-0 victo-ry against Morehead State. Last Sun-day’s goal was not only Blake’s first goal of the season, but also her sec-ond goal in her career as a Panther.

Blake started in both match-es over the weekend, totaling 153 minutes between the two.
