Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Eastern News was re-portedly taken from the newspaper stands across cam-pus.

Stacks of the newspapers stolen were reportedly sto-len from Coleman Hall, Old Main, Booth Library and the residence halls.

A police report with the University Police Depart-ment was filed Tuesday morning. No further informa-tion was available from UPD as of press time.

John Ryan, the director of student publications and adviser for The News, said this was not the first time something like this has happened.

He added, in each instance, the person responsible was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Arlene Brown, the Booth Library office manager, said library workers would be looking at security foot-age to try and identify whoever stole the newspapers.

Stories from Tuesday’s edition of The News can be found on The News website, dailyeasternnews.com.

Anyone who has information about the theft is en-couraged to contact The News at 217-581-2812.

Newspapers stolen from campus locations

Stephanie MarkhamNews Editor | @stephm2o2

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin will be on campus Thursday to speak about student loan debt and to assist with voter registrations.

Durbin is one of the sponsors of the Bank on Students Loan Fairness Act, a bill that is at-tempting to keep the interest rate down for fed-eral subsidized student loans.

The bill would make the interest rate at which students must pay back their loans the same as the rate at which banks must pay back loans from the federal government, according to the bill’s summary.

Durbin is giving a press conference about stu-dent loan debt at 10 a.m. Thursday in the Arco-la-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Ron Holmes, the secretary of Durbin’s cam-paign, said the U.S. Senate is debating the issue of refinancing student loans in an effort to make going to college more affordable.

“(The bill) says the same way you can refi-nance a car or your mortgage, you would be able to refinance your student loan,” Holmes said.

Standing up for victims of sexual assault, the Women’s Empowerment League gath-ered on the South Quad Tuesday evening.

The S.L.U.T. Walk, known as Satirical-ly Lessening Unfair Theories, was designed for students to understand the stereotypical scenarios that women and men face.

While onlookers watched, the Women’s Empowerment League walked through the campus chanting for justice.

Issues such as the “blame-game” were ad-dressed.

The “blame game” is when society places women in a scenario where they are asking to be raped based on their attire.

Dana Gilbertsen, the president of Wom-en’s Empowerment league, said that it’s a “super-empowering” event that gives wom-en and men the courage to speak out.

Despite the attendance of the S.LU.T Walk being predominantly women, men

also offered their support for the cause. “The Women’s Empowerment League has

about two or three men in the organization who help to make all the difference,” Gil-bertsen said.

She said the issues that arise from sex-ual assault are not only a “woman’s prob-lem,” but they affect everyone as a com-munity. She also said the media portray-als of women make them feel as though they are the reasons for being raped or sexual assaulted.

Caroline Wood, a senior biological sci-ences major, said the organization really focuses on gender and women’s equality across the board, on campus and in the workplace.

“I think it affects women everywhere, just in general. We are not equal to men. As an organization, we just kind of fight to abolish things like that,” Wood said.

Wood also said although she did not at-tend last year’s S.L.U.T. Walk, she recog-nized a shift of support from the males on campus in understanding these issues that the organization discusses.

The S.L.U.T. Walk essential ly started from a class held by Jeanie Ludlow, coor-dinator of the women’s studies program.

“We had our f irst S.L.U.T. Walk last year in the spring. They planned it for part of the class and then decided to do it again outside of the class,” Ludlow said.

Students march to raise awareness of sexual assault “I think it affects women everywhere, just in general. We are not equal to men. As an organization, we just kind of fight to abolish things like that.”

William Cogner will bring his abstract art to the Tarble Arts Cen-ter Atrium as he speaks to Charles-ton residents at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 30.

Cogner’s presentation is in con-junction with the exhibit of his work titled “William Cogner: Re-cent Gouache Paintings.”

The exhibition consists of 38 gouache paintings he painted.

Denise Noell, an art historian, said Cogner’s work causes viewers to think about the ideas that apply to the object in the work.

“The object—in this case, the gouache—is specially made by the artist to stir the beholder, who pos-sesses desires, beliefs, and a host of memories that inform his or her re-sponse,” Noell said.

Cogner is based out of Chicago and is a professor emeritus of art theory and practice at Northwest-

ern University. Cogner has been educating others in art for more than 50 years.

Cogner received a Bachelor De-gree in Fine Arts from the Univer-sity of New Mexico and a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from the Uni-versity of Chicago.

Pieces of Cogner’s work have appeared in many exhib i t ions throughout the United States in-cluding “William Cogner: Paint-ings 1958-2008” at the Chica-

go Cultural Center and “William Cogner: Career Overview” at the Cedarhurst Museum in Mt. Ver-non, Ill.

Admission to the exhibition is free of charge. “William Cogner: Recent Gouache Paintings” will continue through Oct. 26 at the Brainard Gallery.

The air was crisp and the sun was setting as the opening strings played as Motherlode stepped into the spotlight at Daum Amphitheater.

Despite the cool covers of old-er tunes, the amphitheater’s lighting left much to be desired.

Motherlode, a three-piece acous-tic band from Charleston, brought a mix of acoustic, folk and blue-grass Tuesday to the Concert in Park in Daum Amphitheater in Kiwanis Park.

Motherlode opened to a 20-per-son crowd at 7 p.m.

The band plays a number of in-struments including the fiddle, man-dolin, acoustic guitar and string bass.

Motherlode opened with crowd-pleasers “Stand By Me,” and “Benji.”

The band continued to switch on and off who would belt out solos as the main singer as well as switched between instruments on stage dur-ing the songs “Don’t Mean a Thing,” and “Be My Baby.”

Motherlode performed an impres-sive mix of different genres includ-ing folk, bluegrass and Irish music.

The band kept audience mem-bers on their feet as they put a new spin on popular songs. They sped up slower tunes to keep the mood light.

As the night went on and the sun began to set, many families came to sit on the brick steps of the am-phitheater and listen to the acoustic bluegrass music.

Motherlode appeared to have a personal connection with many of the audience members, as they free-ly conversed with people showing up late and those in the crowd.

The audience consisted of many

families with young children, who spent most of the concert dancing in the grassy area between the stage and the seats.

The chilly air and darkness of the amphitheater did not stop those in attendance to have a good time.

Motherlode is a tight-knit trio that seamlessly has no problems performing in front of a crowd.

The mix of classic songs from the ‘40s to more modern tunes kept the crowd consistently entertained.

Motherlode ended the show with a dedication to the HOPE Center Against Domestic Violence.

Motherlode will perform again at the Night of Hope, which begins at 6 p.m. Friday at the Jackson Avenue Coffeehouse.

JOHN WARD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Registering to vote takes all of about 40 sec-onds.

It probably would have taken me half that if I didn’t have to pause to remember my new address or the last four digits of my social securi-ty number.

A few days ago, I reached out to Ryan Woods, the president of the EIU College Dem-ocrats, in regards to Sen. Dick Durbin’s visit to campus, which is coming up on Thursday.

Woods asked if I was registered to vote.I said I hadn’t since I was a freshman, but I

was working on getting around to it.To that, he put a registration form in front of

me and pointed out all of the relevant boxes.I had forgotten how stupidly simple it was to

register. I know I’m not the only one balancing work

with going to class every now and then and managing as many hours of sleep as physical-ly possible.

I’m not the only one who has a thousand lit-tle tasks to do throughout the day so that filling out another form sounds like agony.

Putting off registering or re-registering to vote in the upcoming Nov. 4 midterm election is all too easy.

The reasons for putting it off can range from pure American apathy to just not having enough

seconds in the day to fit it into your busy sched-ule.

Regardless of what you might think, though, you do have the time, and your vote does matter.

If you have the time to run to the Union to get a snack from the Food Court, you have the time to stop by one of the registration tables out-side the Food Court and fill out a one-page doc-ument.

The EIU College Democrats as well as stu-dent government host these tables from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, and they will be doing so until Oct. 7.

Oct. 7 is the last day possible to fill out the form because voters must be registered at least 27 days prior to the election.

Registration forms are also available online.One issue that will be on the ballot is wheth-

er or not the minimum wage should be raised to

$10 an hour.All you millionaires enrolled at Eastern might

not care, but the majority of students should be concerned if they plan on working any lower-paying jobs to get through school.

Among the elected positions up for grabs are U.S. senator, governor, attorney general, secre-tary of state, comptroller and treasurer as well as county sheriff, clerk, treasurer and board posi-tions.

Anyone in Illinois who honestly thinks none of those people affect them should seriously con-sider reading more news.

And even if you have the statistical proof accompanied by an in-depth philosophical dis-sertation on why your vote really and truly does not matter, do it anyway.

Do it so you can complain about how stupid it was. Everybody loves complaining.

Also, no one will judge you if you are only voting so you can get an “I Voted” sticker.

That’s why I did it. I have two on my laptop right now and it reassures me from time to time that yes, I am actually an adult.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:Recent photocaption insensitive, thoughtless

I would like to request to please not refer to anything involving Breast Cancer Aware-ness as “saving second base” or any variant, such as the title above the Breast Cancer Aware-ness photo in the September 23rd issue of The Daily Eastern News.

For many, phrases like these dilute the seriousness of breast cancer in favor of shallow sexu-al innuendo.

It’s about saving people, not breasts.

Sincerely, Lisa Rhodes

When suspicious or possibly harmful activity is reported on or near campus, anyone signed up for EIU Text Alert immediately receives a text message informing them —except when a student is involved in a hit-and-run right outside of campus.

Alexandria Ward, a special education major, was victim to a hit-and-run Sunday evening at the cross walk of Fourth Street, just south of Grant Avenue by the Commemorative Courtyard.

And yet, no one was alerted through Eastern about the situa-tion. Police had an idea of which vehicle they were on the look-out for: an aqua green full-sized truck.

If Eastern had sent out a notification to students and facul-ty and staff members, it could have helped students stay vigi-lant for the vehicle while the Charleston Police Department shut down Fourth Street and Grant Avenue to the intersection of Fourth Street and Roosevelt Avenue.

When we receive notifications for possible home intrusions, thefts and descriptions of people who may have been associat-ed with the crime, but not when one of our own peers is injured while on campus, it sends up red flags.

Safety and well-being rank high on the list of priorities for Eastern, but in this incidence, the community should have been made more aware of what was going on.

Especially when it happens on crosswalk headed into campus. This is as close to home as it usually gets, and Eastern failed to keep its community well informed.

The EIU Text Alert needs to be used for every sort of inci-dent that happens, or some sort of standards needs to be drawn up on why these certain texts are sent out. Instead of sweeping the ones close to home away and occasionally informing campus of a crime four or five blocks away, Eastern should modify which incidents are the most important to report to the campus.

In theory the EIU Text Alert works. However, in practice and execution is where it fails. The system cannot be spotty and only when it is convenient. When something like this happens on campus, the university should tell the campus.

It is not enough to just rely on word-of-mouth or Facebook. Getting the messages sent straight to the phone is the quickest way these days to spread a warning. Maybe somebody had spot-ted the alleged vehicle, but were not aware because they did not know.

When something like this happens, we need to know the uni-versity will be there to help keep us up-to-date, otherwise the purpose for EIU Text Alert is obsolete.

Leaps in technology gave us the capability to expand our reach of information. Now its time Eastern got on-board with it and used the technology for its purpose. When something like this happens on campus, we have a right to hear from the uni-versity.

Quote of the Day

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 2014 THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | CAMPUS 5»DURBIN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“So that would then bring down the interest rate that people are paying.”

Durbin’s campaign staff will be helping at the vot-er registration tables outside of the Food Court in the Union from about 10 a.m. until noon.

Holmes said the senator would also stop by to help with registrations.

The EIU College Democrats host these registrations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday until Oct. 7.

Woods said that during the last presidential election, at least 3,000 people voted in the Union, whereas a lit-tle more than 100 voted there during the last midterm election.

“It doesn’t matter who we vote for, but the idea is just that we get people voting,” Woods said. “It’s im-portant that Washington and Springfield know that we matter.”

Holmes said more than one million registered voters do not vote in Illinois during midterm elections.

“What we’ve learned, however, is that the amount of people that don’t vote are minorities; they’re young peo-ple; they’re people that are typically disengaged because there’s not a presidential race on the ballot,” he said. “However, we know there’s a lot at stake in these elec-tions for young people across the state including this is-sue of college loans.”

The midterm election will be on Nov. 4.Some items on the ballot include whether or not

minimum wage should be raised to $10 per hour and elected positions such as U.S. senator, governor, attor-ney general, secretary of state, sheriff, county clerk and members of the county board.

Durbin is running as the Democratic candidate for U.S. senator, while Jim Oberweis is running as the Re-publican candidate and Sharon Hansen is the Libertar-ian candidate.

“This is a critical election,” Holmes said. “It’s just as critical as the one before and the one that will come after it. Students on the campuses across the state will have a very important decision to make this year.”

Z ACHARY LAVIZZO| THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS Students shout onto Lincoln Avenue as they participate in the S.L.U.T Walk Tuesday in front of Old Main.

Ludlow said her former students decid-ed to organize the walk in the beginning of the school year in awareness of “red-zon-ing,” where students are more prone to be-ing raped during the start of fall semesters in college.

“Behavior changes big time,” Ludlow said.

She also said August was a time when the

Women’s Empowerment League felt that students would hear the message better be-cause of the “red-zoning” period.

Gilbertsen said if the situation of sexual assault should occur, seeking medical atten-tion is the most important factor to consid-er at all times.

Resources offered such as the University Po-lice Department or SACIS can also provide

counseling and information on legal matters at hand.

The Women’s Empowerment League meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Stevenson Hall’s basement.

Faculty Senate members debated their opinions on the university budget cuts and the dissolving Chica-go State University Faculty Senate Tuesday.

Grant Sterling, the sen-ate chair, said he received an email from a faculty mem-b e r w h o w a s c o n c e r n e d about the final budget cuts recommendations from the council from the universi-ty planning, and what the lack of response to it from campus members could im-plicate.

“His concern was that he thought the process was deeply f lawed and afra id tha t i f no o ther campus b o d y h a s s a i d a n y t h i n g about it, then that would imply that the faculty ac-cepted these recommenda-tions,” Sterling said.

He said the faculty mem-ber encouraged the senate to comment on the recommen-dations Council on Univer-sity Planning and Budget-ing made and President Bill Perry’s choices among those recommendations.

Member s qu ick ly pro-vided their input on their thoughts and concerns on budget cuts.

“I want to know specif-ically what is actually hap-pening,” said Senate Mem-ber Amy Rosens te in . “ It would be nice to see the numbers, and how it is actu-ally affecting departments.”

In reference to some of the current expenses East-ern is currently facing, Sen-ate Member Jeffrey Ashley

commented on the current contract with Adidas and the needed additional cost of $125,000,000.

“Is being an Adidas uni-versity a good thing or a bad thing for us, does it safe us money, does it cost us mon-ey?” he asked.

Blair Lord, the provost and vice president for aca-demic affairs, said it all be-gan as an athletic contract to buy material for athletics, but additions were made be-cause other units of the uni-versity joined in the con-tract.

Ashley sa id the CUPB made vague recommenda-tions for specific cuts, while senate member Steven Scher wondered if the vagueness is because of a holding pattern.

“Is this a holding pattern for allowing the next pres-ident to p lace the i r own stand on how things wil l precede?” Scher asked.

Senate Member Jim Con-well said while budget cuts are a focus, there are no spe-cifics on the reallocation of vacancies, and how it is be-ing handled.

“We’ve been talking about the cuts, but there is the other part that is not trans-parent at all, which is the reallocation of resources,” Conwell said. “That is real-ly were we are lacking data.”

Sterling suggested if the senate wil l l ike to review budget cuts, then they could ask their budget transparen-cy committee to investigate.

Whi le senate members did not decide on having the committee investigate the is-sue, members agreed more information was needed.

The senate also debated whether a letter of support should be written for Chi-cago State University whose faculty senate has been de-recognized by their board of trustees.

Steve sa id a resolut ion could be to work with Chi-cago State University on the issue.

“I would like us to con-tact the faculty senate at Chicago State and work with them to see what would best support them in their strug-gle,” he said.

Conwell suggested writing a letter to suggest dissolving the Chicago State board in the interest of shared gover-nance of the faculty senates.

Conwell also said the Chi-cago State board had not in-formed their faculty senate of the de-recognition of the senate.

The board had also had a disagreement with the Fac-ulty Senate at Chicago State about administrators, in par-ticularly, the plagiarism of the written thesis by Ange-la Henderson, the Chicago State provost and vice presi-dent for academic affairs.

Michael Mulvaney ques-tioned the place of Eastern to take action in the situa-tion with Chicago State Uni-versity.

“I am hesitant without more information, to jump in and fully support the fac-ulty senate at this point,” Mulvaney said. “We are get-ting one side of the story”

The senate dec ided to postpone acting on the situ-ation in order to gather more information on the case.

The senate also reviewed

the actions of the State Uni-versity Civil Service System when reclassifying admin-istrative and academic po-sitions in universities and when performing university audits.

According to a statement of concern from the coun-cil of Illinois university sen-ates, the civil service system has been reclassifying posi-tions without adequate con-sultation and information on the positions.

In add i t ion , c i v i l s e r -vice system members have failed university audits with-out giving any reasoning for their decision.

Conwell said the last au-dit had a 90 percent fail rate, but the members told hu-man resources that imple-menting the changes they wanted would pass them.

“Essentially it is a form of extortion,” Conwell said.

He said one human re-source member informed him when they asked the ex-ecutive director why there was a 90 percent fail rate, they were given no reasons for it.

“What truly bothers me is that the executive direc-tor wants to isolate his board and no longer feels the need to give reasons for any par-ticular decision give,” Con-well said.

The next senate meeting will take place at 2 p.m. Oct. 7 in Room 4440 in Booth Library.

Reed scored in four straight matches from Aug. 31 to Sept. 14.

Miller is second with two, while se-nior Meagan Radloff and red-shirt soph-omore Lindsey Marino have one each.

Entering the OVC schedule last year, Miller had one goal, along with one from Madison Carter.

Stephanie Wallace faced one of the most difficult decisions of her l ife following high school. Her talent for volleyball had caught the interest of a few colleges, but most of them did not seem like the right choice for her.

Wallace’s sister Brittany helped her with that decision, when she talked about her own experiences at Eastern.

The o lde r Wal l ace had ju s t completed her volleyball and ac-ademic career at Eastern, and de-lighted her sister with stories of how Eastern was friendly and clos-er to home.

A perfect fit for Stephanie. “Brittany never really pushed

me at all,” Stephanie said. “When she talked about it and how much she loved it, and all her professors and classes, it struck my interest.”

Brittany’s highlights at Eastern included finishing with a career-high of 525 digs during her soph-omore.

She concluded with 1,459 digs throughout her entire career. That ranked fourth on the Ohio Valley Conference all-time list.

“I think my sister’s career here helped influence me to come here, a little bit,” Stephanie said.

Stephanie eased her way into the Panthers starting lineup as a freshman, but felt some pressure to prove herself to the veterans of the team.

“The pressure didn’t feel any different than what everybody else was going through,” she said. “I guess I just felt more pressure be-cause I was younger, and didn’t want to mess it up for everyone else, who was older or had more experience.”

She has been the starting libe-ro ever since, joking that with her 5-foot-5 frame there are not many options to play the other posi-tions, especially in college.

Since her arrival, Stephanie has completed two years as one of the top liberoes in the OVC, as well as a communication disorders and sciences major – the same major that her sister took.

She has also been a two-time member of the OVC Commission-er’s Honor Roll given to OVC ath-letes that maintain a 3.25 GPA, which her sister was also part of for four years.

Just last year she ranked in the OVC’s top-10 in digs-per-set , with 3.95, while finishing with 435 overall.

So far this year, she has com-pi led 236 digs for a 4.63 dig-

per-set, including a career-high 31 against DePaul on Saturday. Teammate Abby Saalfrank is the next highest player in digs, with 140 on Eastern’s roster.

“It’s one of the best feelings in the world to get a dig off of a big hitter, who thinks they’re going to get a kill off of you,” Stepha-nie said.

With conference play starting Friday, Stephanie said she is ex-cited about the chance to win the

OVC title and to finally play a home match.

“Preseason is fun in the aspects that we play teams we don’t nor-mally get to play, but conference i s more exci t ing because we’re working towards actually getting to the conference tournament,” she said. “Getting to finally play at home is going to be an awe-some feeling again also.”

As she transitions from new-comer to veteran, she has left ad-

vice for future Panther players, via the great writer Dr. Seuss.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind,” she said.

Ironica l ly her s i s ter le f t the same advice a few years ago.

Bobcats paying up

By Aldo SotoSports Editor | @AldoSoto21

Win or lose the Eastern football team will walk out of Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio $325,000 richer on Saturday.

Ohio, like every other FBS pro-gram that schedules a game against a lower division team, will pay Eastern to play the Bobcats on the road.

Earlier this season, Eastern played against Minnesota, which is part of the Big Ten Conference. The Panthers received $400,000 from the Golden Gophers to go play at TCF Bank Sta-dium in Minneapolis, Minn.

Last season, Eastern played at Northern Illinois, which paid the Pan-thers $325,000. Like Northern Illi-nois, Ohio is part of the Mid-Ameri-can Conference.

Former Eastern athletic director Barbara Burke, who scheduled these games during her tenure at Eastern said a lot of phone calls are needed to plan games in advance.

The amount paid by schools is also parallel compared to what conference teams Eastern goes to play.

Since 2009, the Panthers have played against seven FBS teams. The 1 p.m. kickoff Saturday in Athens, will make it the eighth.

Along with Northern Illinois and Ohio, Eastern also played Western Michigan from the MAC in 2013. The Broncos also paid $325,000 to the Panthers.

“You can see the similarities (in the amount paid) and that goes back to being able to do the research and know who is paying what to whom and using that as a little bit of bargain-ing during the process,” Burke said.

The most Eastern has received to go play against an FBS team since 2009, was from Penn State, which paid $450,000 that year.

Before these past two seasons, East-ern has played two FBS opponents in the same year once since 2007.

Before last year, when the Panthers played San Diego State and North-ern Illinois, they last had two games against FBS schools in 2008, when they played Central Michigan of the MAC and Illinois of the Big Ten.

Burke said she took advantage of the opportunity to schedule a second FBS team last year and this season.

From 2009 through 2014, Eastern will receive a total of $2.825 million from eight FBS schools.

Ohio head coach Frank Solich ruled out red-shirt quarterback Der-rius Vick for Saturday’s game against Eastern.

The Bobcats will also have a new starting running back in freshman A.J. Ouellette.

Vick suffered an injury to his r i gh t knee in the Bobcats’ 36-24 win over Ida-ho in the sec-ond quarter that

forced the quarter-back to miss the

rest of the game.“This injury will not make him

available for this game and we’ll see from a week-by-week basis,” Sol-ich said. “We did have an MRI and so we’re looking for him being out at least this week, maybe more.”

Before being injured against the Vandals, Vick rushed for 84 yards on four carries, including a 54-yard run that helped set up an Ohio touch-down. Vick was also 4-of-6 for 68 yards and had a passing touchdown.

In four games, Vick has four pass-

ing touchdowns and one intercep-tion, while completing 40-of-65 pass-es for 530 yards.

He has also rushed for 193 yards, averaging 7.7 yards per carry.

Luckily for Solich, the quarterback starting against the Panthers on Sat-urday has experience playing this sea-

son.S i m i l a r t o

E a s t e r n h e a d coach Kim Dam-eron’s philoso-phy of having two quarterbacks prepared to play at any time; Sol-ich has had Vick

and red-shirt JD Sprague shar ing

time at the quarterback position.Just like Dameron received crit-

icism early in the season for having two quarterbacks splitting time, Sol-ich did as well, but like Dameron he also shrugged it off.

“There was never any question-ing in our mind about that being the right decision to try and get both guys as much experience as possible,” Solich said.

Sprague has played in three games for Ohio, throwing one touchdown pass and no interceptions. Against

Idaho, he was 8-of-13 for 165 yards. The red-shirt sophomore also had 30 rushing yards and a rushing touch-down.

Overall, Sprague is 25-of-46 for 344 yard with 56 rushing yards.

The only difference for Sprague this week against Eastern is going to be being ready to play right after the opening kick off.

“The thing now is you have to be ready right at the start,” he said to The Athens Messenger. “You know you’re getting that first snap.”

NE W RUNNING BACK

Freshman running back A.J. Ouel-lette joined Ohio as a walk-on, but Solich soon realized that he was much more talented not to be a scholarship player.

“I’ve said this several times - he was a walk-on that was overlooked as a scholarship player and he should not have been,” Solich said. “We rec-ognized that immediately once he was on campus, performing for us. We put him on scholarship right away and he’s been a great addition to our team.”

Following Ohio’s practice on Mon-day, Solich said that Ouellette would be the new starting running back for

the Bobcats’ home game against the Panthers.

The freshman has been Ohio’s most productive running back, rushing for 201 yards, scoring two rushing touch-downs and averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Ouellette is replacing junior Daz Patterson.

Through four games, Patterson has averaged 3.5 yards per carry, with no touchdowns. He has also lost three fumbles, while Ouellette has zero with only four less carries than Patterson.

“Daz has done some great things for us and you don’t just toss him aside,” Solich said. “He just needs to take better care of the ball. No one feels worse than he does about it.”

In Ohio’s previous game against Idaho, Ouellette rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns. He is the first Bobcat running back to break the 100-yard rush mark this season.

“He does look like a long-term guy,” Solich said. “He’s performed at the level that we saw in that game since he’s been with us coming through fall camp. Every opportuni-ty he’s gotten he’s shown to be an ex-plosive back.”

Not only is the Eastern women’s soccer team heading into Ohio Valley Conference play with more wins than it did last year, it also has more goals.

The Panthers scored just twice last season before their opener against Belmont.

This season, the Panthers have scored a total of eight times in the non-conference portion of the sched-ule.

Eastern just won its first non-con-ference match since 2012, beating

Chicago State 2-0 on Sunday. Junior forward Hannah Miller had both goals in the win.

Eastern takes on Southeast Mis-souri at 3 p.m. Friday at Lakeside Field.

Since 2007, Eastern is 3-3-1 in its OVC season openers.

The last time Eastern played Southeast Missouri in its first confer-ence match of the season was 2009, when the two teams played to a 1-1 draw in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

Eastern’s win over Chicago State marks the first time since 2009 that the Panthers are entering the OVC

schedule coming off a win.Eastern beat Western Illinois, 1-0

in overtime on Sept. 24, 2009.Current Eastern head coach Ja-

son Cherry was then an assistant at Western.

This will be Eastern’s first confer-ence opener at Lakeside Field since 2011, when the Panthers beat Ten-nessee Tech 2-0.

The Panthers are coming off their first shutout since Oct. 6, 2013,

against Eastern Kentucky, when they won 1-0 at Lakeside Field.

The Panthers have not had back-to-back shutouts since that weekend when they shutout Morehead State 1-0 on Oct. 4 before beating Eastern Kentucky two days later.

Eastern recorded a shutout in its OVC-opener last season, beating Belmont 1-0 in overtime.

Red-shirt junior Chris Reed enters the OVC portion of the schedule as the Panthers’ leading scorer with four goals this season.
