Local artist Mark Monken isgiving people the opportunity to“hang out” in 1904 Charleston withhim and his friends and familymembers through a mural he haspainted on the side of Grand BallCostumes, located at 609 Sixth St.

The 60-foot by 25-foot mural,

“The Corner of Sixth and MonroeStreet, Charleston, Ill 1904,” illus-trates the way Charleston appearedat the turn of the century and fea-tures 51 people, all of whom arefriends and relatives of Monken,who also appears in the mural.

“I like to personalize my art-work,” said Monken, a 1997Eastern graduate. “I just wanted toshow some unique people – and

what better way to do that than touse real Charleston people? It (themural) shows a thriving metropolis;an up-and-coming city.”

Trickle Down will perform atthe dedication ceremony, to be held

at 5 p.m. Oct. 9 at the mural. MattMullally, the band’s drummer,helped paint the mural.

Using shadowing techniquesand building lights and darks, hewas able to add depth and dimen-sion to the mural.

“I wanted the viewer to feel likethey could walk right into the paint-ing and hang out with some of myfriends,” Monken said. “I pretty

much want the viewer to be a partof the painting, make it look likefun, and let people see Charlestonthe way it used to be.”

Monken made the mural so real-istic he even included the pets ofsome of the people in the mural, hesaid.

Members of the EIU FoundationFriday were told endowments haveincreased about 15 percent to almost $30million.

“Eastern had a good financial year,”said Morgan Olsen, EIU FoundationBoard assistant treasurer and vice presi-dent for business affairs.

Olsen reported the FoundationBoard’s assets are currently reaching$29,954,492. Last year’s total was about$16.1 million.

Dennis Hammond, of HammondAssociates, the university’s financialadviser, said the market value of the uni-versity’s endowment funds has increasedsignificantly since June of 1994.

Hammond said in 1994 that theendowment fund was at about $9.5 mil-lion. Olsen reported total endowmentfunds are currently at $18,529,048.

“It is significant our June 30, 1998return was ($3,014,070 higher),” saidFoundation President Stan Rives. “Thatmeans endowments are growing andgrowing significantly.”

Hammond stressed to the FoundationBoard that good investments are the keyto the university’s financial stability.

Hammond Associates serves as athird-party consultant for management ofthe foundation’s endowment funds.

“You all know how the stock market’sbeen lately,” Hammond told board mem-bers. “August was a near-cataclysmicmonth in the stock market.

“We need to introduce risky assets,” headded. “Over the long run, it’s not a riskat all.”

Eastern President David Jorns said heis pleased with the financial status of theuniversity and said the state of the univer-sity “is in fairly good shape.”

“We’re actually running a budget sur-plus,” he said. “It’s the first time in a longtime we’ve raised our admission stan-dards, and we’ve actually had more peo-ple apply.”

Forum prompts dining services changes beginning todayBy Amy ThonCampus editor

Panther Dining today will debut itsrevised dining options for students inresponse to the campuswide forum heldSept. 10.

Jody Horn, director of Panther Dining,said the students’ largest complaint wasabout the variety of the food choicesoffered.

“It’s a cluster of the same issues. Varietywas a big thing,” Horn said. “We tried toadd some variety to the concepts alreadythere.”

When students returned to campus inAugust they were greeted with a complete-ly revised dining program for the newsemester. The changes eliminated one din-ing hall and limited the choices of food atthe others. Four of the five halls offered thesame choices every day for either lunch ordinner.

Horn said with the changes going intoaffect today, many of the concepts havestayed the same but more choices have beenadded.

Stevenson Tower will continue to offerthe deli line all day because the countsshow this is a popular option for students,

Horn said. The Asian line, formerly offeredall day, will be replaced at dinner with a tra-ditional meal which changes daily.

“They do like the deli line. It’s a realhigh quality product,” Horn said.

Taylor Hall will continue to offer chick-en strips at lunch but one other chickenchoice also will be offered. Horn said therecontinues to be high counts in the chickenline.The second choice will be broiled orbaked chicken for a healthier option.

The south side will serve tacos, burritos,nachos or at least two different Mexican

working on the mural project about three years ago. Ball-Saretserves on the Charleston Tourism Advisory Board, which is fund-ing the murals along with Tax Incremental Financing, or TIF funds.

Ball-Saret suggested to Monken that he paint a mural on a build-ing in downtown Charleston.

“We just thought it would be a really nice beautification projectfor historic downtown,” Ball-Saret said.

Monken began considering what he was going to put into hismural and eventually attempted to paint.

The original building Monken began painting on had too manycracks in its wall so Ball-Saret volunteered the south wall of herstore.

“It was Jayne’s idea from the get-go, so I’m glad I wound updoing it on her wall,” Monken said.

Monken began painting the mural this spring, after approvalfrom the City Council. Ball-Saret said Monken has been workingon the mural all summer and has put at least 240 hours into paint-ing the mural.

“I love it for the historical aspects,” she said. “And he’s done abeautiful job. We’ll (Charleston Tourism Advisory Board) be hop-ing to fund more projects in the future.”

The last candidate for associate vice pres-ident for academic affairs Friday said shebelieves in a “life-long education,” whetherit be formal or informal.

“Kindergarten through the age of 80, youcan never have enough (education),”Rochelle Kanter Kelz, dean of liberal artsand sciences at Mott Community College,said during her open session interview.

Faculty members need incentives to con-tinue exploring their options, she said.Without exploring, faculty cannot explorethe next millennium.

She said she feels very strongly aboutprofessional training for faculty and hasworked on bargaining $30,000 for faculty tohave training in specific fields.

“Faculty should have professional devel-opment opportunities. They need the training... like sabbaticals,” she said.

The faculty needs to be encouraged tofurther their education because their knowl-edge will benefit students, she said.

“We need to enrich our knowledge of ourown discipline,” she said. “We need to pro-vide students with additional opportunitiesas opposed to traditional (classroom set-tings).”

Appropriate role models are especiallyimportant for students to experience in theclassroom, she said. One example she usedwas having the chief of police teach a crimi-nal justice course.

She said full-time faculty should be

involved in every area of education, but part-time faculty also are important, she said.

Kelz compared some part-time faculty toshopping bags because they are forced toteach at three or four institutions. She saidshe is “appalled” because some are forced torun traditional education programs with lowfunding.

Kelz also said she has experience as anegotiator and has looked at Eastern’s chap-ter of the University Professionals of

Illinois’ new contract. She said it is very easyto follow.

“It looked like a workable contract,” shesaid.

She also encouraged union members atthe interview to look at some of the benefitsof the Mott Community College union con-tracts.

Kelz said Mott has five very strongunions, and all but 15 faculty membersbelong to one union or another.

“I went through contract training and I’vedone collaborative bargaining training,” shesaid.

Kelz said she is the best candidate for thisposition and she will fit in “beautifully” atEastern. She brings experience as a facultymember, administrator and researcher. Shehas taught graduate students at theUniversity of Illinois in Champaign and hastaught medical school.

She also has written the book titled“Discipline of Medical Spanish,” becausedoctors are not required to learn Spanish andsome of the language is ambiguous whenSpanish-speaking people try to communicatewith doctors when they are ill.

“When people are sick they tend to usetheir mother tongue,” she said.

Kelz is the last of three candidates inter-viewing for the position.

The other candidates are LloydHammonds, currently the vice president foracademic affairs at Ranken TechnicalCollege, and Jeffrey Cross, currently thesenior assistant to the vice president at FerrisState University.

With November elections near-ing, Student Senate members aredoing their part to get students regis-tered to vote.

In an effort to persuade more stu-dents to register in Coles Countyrather than in their own home dis-tricts, 27 senate members have beennamed voter registration deputies byCounty Clerk Betty Coffrin.

Tables where students can regis-ter will be set up in Coleman Halland the Martin Luther King Jr.University Union from 10 a.m. to 4p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday.

A voter registration rally will beheld Wednesday in the Library Quadwith free refreshments.

“It’s really important that if peo-ple want to register to vote, they havesomething with their local addresson it,” said Liz Halbert, vice presi-dent for student affairs. “Somethingthat says they live in Charleston.”

Although students at Eastern livein Coles County for about ninemonths out of the year, many stillchoose to vote in their home districts.

“We want to get students moreinvolved,” said Student BodyPresident Steve Zielinski. “We’regoing to go out into the communityand start a massive voter registration

drive.”Zielinski said the goal is to regis-

ter as many as 5,000 to 6,000 stu-dents.

As voter registration deputies, thesenate members are able to registeranyone to vote in Coles County. Allthe executive officers were maderegistration deputies, Zielinski said.

“If anyone wants to get registeredto vote they can get registeredthrough me or Liz (Halbert or othersenate members),” he said. “We wantstudents to vote in this county, inCharleston, and we want to keepthem informed on what’s going on.”

Zielinski said the voter registra-tion drive is something Student

Government has been anticipatingfor some time and they already havebig plans to get students registered.

“Students don’t get the amount ofrespect they should,” Halbert said.“We need to get involved in the polit-ical process, not only register to vote,but actually go to the polls when thetime comes.”

Zielinski said some students havevalid reasons for wanting to vote intheir home districts but most studentsshould get registered here.

“If that’s where they want to livewhen they graduate, we can respectthat,” he said. “But this is the com-munity we live in for four years andwe should take an active role in it.”

The Faculty Senate Tuesday willattempt to decide whether to hold aFall Forum this year and what topicswill be posted on the agenda.

The senate will meet at 2 p.m.Tuesday in the BOG Room of BoothLibrary.

“We will narrow (the topics) downto a couple big issues,” said BonnieIrwin, Faculty Senate vice chair.

Some of the topics suggested byadministration and faculty includecore competencies, shared gover-nance, user services and the results oflast year’s student surveys.

Core competencies were intro-duced to the senate by TeshomeAbebe, vice president for academicaffairs. Competencies are described asthings that distinguish Eastern fromother universities.

Abebe cited student housing as anexample of what could be a core com-petency for Eastern because over 55percent of students live in the resi-dence halls.

“EIU ought to be known so othersare calling us to ask how it’s done,”Abebe said.

Faculty Senate Chair JamesTidwell said he received an e-mailregarding a concern about shared gov-ernance on campus. The senate willdiscuss the positive and negativeaspects of shared governance.

Another topic brought to the sen-ate’s attention was user services andthe faculty’s relationship with tech-nology. The last topic, results of lastyear’s student surveys, is a discussionof the results from some of the surveystaken last year, such as the Knoll-Levitz survey.

Jon Laible, executive officer for theEIU Foundation, also will be speakingto the senate regarding the status of theFoundation. The Foundation is meet-ing Friday to hear an update on itsfinancial status and to present fourphilanthropy awards.

Senate member Nancy Marlowalso will be presenting a report on theIllinois Board of Higher Education onbehalf of the faculty advisory commit-tee.

National blood suppliesare low; help give blood

The American Red Cross has issueda national alert to notify everyone thatthe available blood supply is very low.The supply usually slips during thesummer months, but it fell dramaticallythis summer in Coles County as well asacross the nation. In previous years,Coles County has been one of the topdonors in the Midwest. This letter is toremind our regular donors, especiallytype O, that it’s time to take up the chal-lenge to restore our blood supply. Weencourage former donors to get back inthe habit of donating regularly (every 56days, if possible). If you have neverdonated, now is the time to step up andhelp your American Red Cross to meetthis challenge!

Your American Red Cross is the

only organization mandated to preserveyour blood supply. The Red Cross hasbeen serving the county for over 50years and is the only volunteer-basedcollection agency in the county. We vol-unteers are sponsoring blood drivesacross the county; here are upcomingdonation opportunities in our area. Youmay donate at Eastern from noon to 6p.m. Monday through Wednesday andfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdaythrough Friday in the UniversityBallroom of the Martin Luther King Jr.University Union. The latter two dayswill provide a shuttle from the O’BrienStadium parking lot for off-campusdonors. Other blood drives will be heldfrom noon to 6 p.m. on Nov. 16 and 17

as well as Dec. 2 and 3 in theUniversity Ballroom of the union. Onall of those days, there will be shuttleservice from the stadium parking lot.

There will be other opportunitiesaround the county to donate with theRed Cross. If you don’t find the dates inyour paper, call them and ask; call 345-2907 for the schedule or e-mail atcfbgm@eiu.edu.

Let’s all help maintain our bloodsupply and get Coles County back tobeing one of the top donors in the entireregion! I look forward to seeing you ata Red Cross drive and/or learning ofyour donation!

Charleston onlineA new web site created by theCharleston Tourism departmentprovides local information onupcoming events. This providesan optional way to explore theCharleston.

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

We’re like the A-Team, a crackcommando unitsent to a college

town for a crime we didn’t com-mit. We survive in the Charlestonunderground as soldiers of for-tune – the quickly dwindling butelite corps of Eastern studentswho still have money in theirchecking accounts.

Well, not really. But headingas late into the semester asOctober, I find I’m among a small group of people withusable checking accounts pitting ourselves against a hated andobstinate enemy: automatic teller machines. And I think Ineed Col. Hannibal Smith and Sgt. B.A. Baracus on my side.

It’s like a drug habit. The country’s private banking sys-tem has trained me. I can’t do my banking in any way otherthan by a cash machine. And the banks have been cashing inon me, $1.50 and sometimes $1.75 a pop, with their ATMfees.

Of course, I could kind of cheat the machines by with-drawing $50 at a time instead of the traditional $20. Thenthe $1.50 would be a 3 percent fee rather than a 7.5 percentfee. But that’s part of the banking system’s plan. Banksknow I’ll spend $50 twice as fast as I’ll spend $20. With$50, I delude myself into thinking I’m rich all of a sudden.Next thing I know, I’m buying people beers, and then I’mbroke again in four days.

Then again, there are alternatives to paying the moreexpensive fees. I could get an account at an area bank thatoffers free checking. Or I could pay less than a dollar bygoing to the check-cashing counter in the union.

But having 24-hour ATMs available everywhere in thecountry has helped me slip into a mode in which I’ve beentaking care of my money-handling tasks at 3 a.m. through-out most of my career as a bank customer. Thus, I think ofhow annoying these fees are only at 3 a.m., and when themorning comes, I forget.

My laziness and all-talk, no-action attitude hinders my abili-ty to circumvent these ATM feesthat I now absentmindedly pay.With the help of the A-Team, Icould see about hacking into anATM’s computer Hannibal-styleor simply throwing the machineagainst a brick wall B.A.-styleand helping myself to the cashinside.

But I don’t want to be a thief.I’d settle for a little vigilante jus-

tice, though. I could probably pay off a year’s worth of text-book-rental fees with the money I’ve coughed up to ATMs inthe Greater Chicagoland Area and around the Midwest.

I don’t even read that screen anymore that asks me toagree to the ATM fee. I challenged it once and defiantlypressed “no” – maybe to see if it would be willing to nego-tiate a better deal or something. It made sense at the time.After all, it was about 3 a.m.

But there was no negotiation to be had. It spit my cardback out at me without even a “have a nice day” or a “it’salways a pleasure to serve you.” A little robot might as wellhave emerged and dumped a bucket of bird crap on the hoodof my car.

I’m too apathetic, however – employing the line of think-ing that I’m too busy – to organize a boycott of ATMs toprotest excessive fees. That would involve going to the bankduring the hours that it’s open for business. If I’m going togo then, I might as well open a checking account.

Until that happens, I’ll just watch reruns of “The A-Team,” bracing myself for the day banks start installinglarge baskets onto their ATMs with accompanying screensthat read, “Please deposit firstborn child. If you disagreewith this fee ....”

Battling ATM fees with the A-Team

“The banks havebeen cashing in on me, $1.50 andsometimes $1.75 a pop, with theirATM fees.”

Deaths from Georges mount;hurricane nears New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The BigEasy was decidedly uneasy Sundayas New Orleans prepared for its worstnightmare hurricane – a massivestorm that could sit overhead fordays, driving Lake Pontchartrain overits levees and submerging the city.

“We’re just waiting for the triggerto be pulled,” said Lt. Col. RonnieJones of the Louisiana State Police.

Thousands didn’t wait forHurricane Georges to arrive. Theyfled, turning Interstates 10 and 55 intobumper-to-bumper processions.More than 1.5 million people wereordered or urged to leave NewOrleans and coastal areas.

The storm, with sustained wind of110 mph, was expected to smash theGulf Coast late Sunday or earlyMonday. Intermittent downpoursstarted Saturday night. Waves crossedbeachfront roads in Mississippi,including four-lane U.S. 90.

Twenty-five-foot waves clippedoff fishing piers along Alabama’s

coast. High surf on top of a 5-footstorm surge threatened to underminethe foundations of beachfront homeson barrier islands along the FloridaPanhandle.

“I would be scared if I were inNew Orleans right now,” said JoergLehmann, 23, a German air force stu-dent at the Pensacola Naval AirStation. He was among the last peo-ple leaving Florida’s Perdido Key.

More than 300 deaths had beenblamed on the hurricane in the Caribbean.

Forecasters said up to 25 inches ofrain could fall on New Orleans, cou-pled with a storm surge that coulddrive millions of gallons of water upthe Mississippi River toward the city.In a city that averages 6 feet belowsea level and bordered by swamps,tidal lakes and the Mississippi – theresults could be catastrophic.

Georges was the most seriousstorm to threaten New Orleans since1969, when Camille slammed into

the coast of Mississippi andLouisiana, causing flooding as farnorth as Virginia and West Virginiaand killing 259 people.

“We’re the best city in America,”Mayor Marc Morial said. “But thismay not have been the best place 300years ago to place a city.”

Tens of thousands flocked to thecity’s nine shelters, including the cav-ernous Louisiana Superdome and thesprawling Ernest Morial ConventionCenter. The city had capacity to shel-ter 100,000 of its 450,000 people,Morial said.

All flights in and out were can-celed. More than 1.5 million peoplehad been told to evacuate and policeplanned to close the interstates behindthem. Thousands more fled along theGulf Coast in Mississippi, Alabamaand Florida. Many schools were can-celed at least through Tuesday,Mississippi’s 11 coastal casinos wereboarded up and harbors were closedto shipping.

Cowboy’s death leads to treasureLAS VEGAS (AP) – Ted Binion didn’t die like the

cowboy he was. He was found with his cowboy boots off, draped in a

comforter in front of a television set with an empty bottleof prescription drugs beside him. Police, who were calledby his girlfriend, a former topless dancer, found heroinparaphernalia in a bathroom.

Authorities weren’t terribly suspicious. Drugs hadalready cost him his stake in the family’s Horseshoe Club,a downtown Las Vegas landmark started by his Texas gam-bler-father in the 1940s.

But then three men were caught digging up millions ofdollars worth of silver coins and bars – so much it over-loaded a dump truck – that Binion had taken from the casi-no and buried smack in the middle of a nearby farm town.

That led Binion’s sister, Becky Behnen, who now ownsthe Horseshoe, to ask police to investigate whether herbrother was murdered.

Now authorities are trying to decipher a tale straight outof the Wild West novels the 55-year-old rancher loved to

read. At his funeral, a cowboy’s tools – boots, spurs and a lar-

iat – were placed on his coffin. An impeached federal judgegave the eulogy and the Doors’ song “The End” wasplayed.

“I can truthfully say that Ted Binion was the mostunforgettable character I ever knew,” said former judgeHarry Claiborne, convicted in the 1980s of hiding incomefrom the Internal Revenue Service.

“I hope his death was accidental,” said Richard Wright,Binion’s longtime friend and attorney. “But there are somesuspicious circumstances.”

The suspicions started after his girlfriend, SandyMurphy, found Binion’s body on Sept. 17 in the home theyhad shared for four years. The empty prescription bottlenext to him had been filled the day before with 120 tabletsof the anxiety drug Xanax.

Suspicions grew a night later when Rick Tabish, an ex-felon who buried the silver for Binion,was caught with twoother men digging it up in the middle of the night.

Conservative rule changes after electionsBONN, Germany – Gerhard Schroeder and his Social Democrats

won national elections Sunday, ushering in the first change of government Germany has seen after 16 years of conservative rule under Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the West’s longest-serving leader.

“The Kohl era has come to an end,” Schroeder proclaimed to the cheering party faithful. “Our task will be to thoroughly modernize our country and to unblock the backlog of reform.’’

Expo 98 ending in mixed bag for PortugueseLISBON, Portugal – The Lisbon world’s fair is coming to a rue-

ful end, with attention focused as much on waste and corruption ason what the fair was supposed to show: Portugal’s arrival on theworld stage.

Expo 98 was touted by its organizers as a symbol of a new Portugal, yanked from decades of economic backwardness by membership in the European Union.

They hoped the four-month, $2.4 billion fair would spotlight the fast-paced modernization – fueled by EU development aid – of the country of 9.8 million people on Europe’s southwestern corner. But with the exposition closing Wednesday, attendance has been only half what was predicted.

‘Rush Hour’ nets $21.1 million, takes No. 1By the Associated Press

Here are estimated grosses at North American theaters for Friday through Sunday as compiled by Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures were to be released Monday:

1. “Rush Hour,’’ $21.1 million. 2. “Ronin,’’ $13 million. 3. “Urban Legend,’’ $11 million. 4. “One True Thing,’’ $4.5 million. 4. “There’s Something About Mary,’’ $4.5 million. 6. “Simon Birch,’’ $2.7 million. 7. “Saving Private Ryan,’’ $2.6 million. 8. “Rounders,’’ $2.5 million. 9. “Blade,’’ $2 million. 10. “Ever After,’’ $1.2 million.

GOP elders see no deal before electionsWASHINGTON – Three veteran politicians suggested as possible

mediators between President Clinton and Congress over theLewinsky affair say there won’t be a deal before the November elec-tions. “Probably not much can happen until maybe next year,’’ saidformer Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.

MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM BY MIKE PETERS

CHICAGO (AP) - ForgetRobert Smith and Randy Moss’touchdown receptions.Cornerback Corey Fuller had thebiggest catch of the day for theMinnesota Vikings.

Fuller intercepted what wouldhave been a touchdown, and Mossand Cris Carter had TD receptionsin the second half Sunday as theVikings (4-0) rallied for a 31-28victory over the Chicago Bears.

Smith, a running back also hada 67-yard catch for a score.

Moss and Carter have four TDreceptions each this year.

Both Minnesota’s Randall

Cunningham and Chicago’s ErikKramer had four TD passes.Cunningham finished 16-of-25for 275 yards.

Kramer was 25-of-29 for 372yards. Chicago’s Bobby Engramcaught six passes for 123 yards.

It was yet another second-halfcollapse for the Bears (0-4), whohave led at halftime in all theirgames. They blew a 15-point half-time lead last week at Tampa Bay.

Ryan Wetnight’s 19-yard catchwith 1:53 left cut Minnesota’slead to three, but the Bears blewthe onside kick when Chris Penntipped it and it rolled out of

bounds. Minnesota got the ball its43.

Chicago had a 21-17 lead andlooked like it was going to add toit.

Kramer moved the Bears to theMinnesota 10 and had a wide-open Fabien Bownes in the rightcorner of the end zone. But Fullerran in front of Bownes just as hewas about to catch the ball andtipped it away.

Fuller bobbled the ball severaltimes before finally controlling itat the 6. He ran for 26 yards andprobably would have had a touch-down, but Casey Wiegmann tack-

led him at the 32. The Vikings got another break

three plays later on Smith’s 16-yard reception when the Bearsalso were called for holding.

After Jake Reed caught a 10-yard pass at the Chicago 35,Cunningham double-pumpedunder heavy pressure, then heaveda pass to the right corner of theend zone. It fell right into Carter’s hands to make it 24-21.

Moss’ 44-yard reception gaveMinnesota a 31-21 lead with10:13 left.

David Palmer started theVikings’ comeback, catching a

punt at his 13 and zig-zagginghalfway down the field. He prob-ably would have scored, but hecollided with teammate TorrianGray at the Chicago 33.

Cunningham connected withAndrew Glover for the 19-yardscore, cutting Chicago’s lead to21-17.

It was the Chicago receiversthat did all of the damage in thefirst half.

Engram caught TD passes of33 and 4 yards, and Penn caught a23-yard scoring pass as the Bearstook a 21-10 halftime lead.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - An incredible 70homers! Even Mark McGwire couldn’tbelieve it.

“I’ve never even thought about it,dreamed about it,’’ he said. “It’s absolutelyamazing! It blows me away!’’

The St. Louis Cardinals’ slugger endedhis record-smashing season as mightily ashe started it. He hit his 69th and 70thhomers on the season’s last day, a fittingfinale for a year he began with a grand slamon opening day.

“This is a season I will never, ever for-get, and I hope everybody in baseball neverforgets,’’ McGwire told the cheering crowd

after the game. Big Mac, who hit five homers on the

final weekend, connected against Montrealrookie Mike Thurman in the third inningSunday, then homered off Carl Pavano forNo. 70 in the seventh. McGwire movedfour ahead of Sammy Sosa and ended nine– nine! – in front of Roger Maris’ oldrecord.

Sosa went 2-5 with no homers as theCubs lost to Houston, 4-3, in 11 innings,but his season is not done.

The Cubs will face San Francisco atWrigley Field on Monday night in a one-game playoff for the wild-card spot – agame in which Sosa’s stats will count.

“I wish him the best of luck, along withthe Giants,’’ McGwire said.

McGwire, who has 10 multihomer

games this year and 53 in his career, leftmany in awe.

“It’s stranger than fiction, what this manhas done,’’ manager Tony La Russa said.

Expos manager Felipe Alou told hisyoung pitchers to challenge McGwire.

“I left it up to God and the kid on themound,’’ Alou said. “I didn’t want to tam-per with history.

“Thank God the season’s over, or hewould hit 80.’’

McGwire hit a 1-1 fastball 377 feet intothe left-field seats at 2:10 p.m. CDT for No.69. After stomping on home plate, he tooka few slow steps, then made several salutesto the sellout crowd. The fans who hadstood well before his at-bat demanded andgot two curtain calls.

Kerry Woodson, a 22-year-old body-

shop worker from Maryland Heights, Mo.,wound up with the ball and said he didn’tknow what he would do with it.

“I reached up, closed my eyes, and itlanded in my glove,’’ Woodson said. “It’s adream come true. I hope he doesn’t hit anymore today.’’

He didn’t get his wish. With two on and two outs in the seventh

and the score 3-all, he connected offPavano (6-9), lining a first-pitch fastball370 feet over the left-field wall at 3:19p.m., sending the Cardinals on to a 6-3 winover the Expos.

“Every time the replay is show, I’m notgoing to turn the TV off,’’ Pavano said. “Ihope he hits 75 next year so people willforget I gave up No. 70.”

“C’mon Mark, I’m rooting for you.’’

HOUSTON (AP) - Momentsafter another heartbreaking loss forthe Chicago Cubs, they won areprieve.

Two hesitant Chicago defensiveplays, including one by SammySosa, allowed the Houston Astros

to rally for a 4-3 victory in 11innings Sunday.

But the Cubs remained alive inthe NL wild-card race when SanFrancisco lost to Colorado 9-8. TheCubs and Giants will meet in a one-game playoff Monday night atWrigley Field, with the winnerearning the wild-card berth againstthe Atlanta Braves.

The New York Mets were elimi-nated when they lost at Atlanta. Houston’s Carl Everett tripled lead-ing off the 11th when a retreatingSosa shied away from the ball as he

reached the warning track, andRichard Hidalgo’s sacrifice fly gavethe Astros a win that temporarilystunned the Cubs. But the finalscore in the Colorado-Giants gamewas announced a minute later.

The Giants and Cubs will meetin the NL’s first one-game playoffsince 1980, when Houston beat LosAngeles to win the West. In 1995,Seattle defeated the Angels in aone-game playoff for the AL Westtitle.

Houston made it 3-all in theeighth with two runs. The Astros

scored the tying run when shortstopJeff Blauser made a wild throwhome from shallow left field, allow-ing Jeff Bagwell to score from first on Sean Berry’s single.

Chicago also fumbled a gameaway Wednesday in Milwaukee,when Brant Brown dropped a rou-tine fly with two out in the ninththat allowed the Brewers to scorethree runs for the victory.

While the drama built in theplayoff race, there was no split-screen finish in the home-run chase.Sosa remained at 66, while Mark

McGwire hit two in his final gameSunday at St. Louis to finish with70.

Sosa singled for his 158th RBI,fourth-best in NL history. He alsostruck out, flied out twice and sin-gled in the eighth, finishing 2-for-5.

Scott Elarton (2-1) pitched twoperfect innings. Rod Beck (3-4)went the final 2 2-3 innings – hislongest outing of the season.

The game was merely a tuneupfor the Astros, who won for the 27thtime in their final at-bat.

“Normally you wouldn’t findhim up front,” Northwestern coachMichael Kunert said. “We areplaying makeshift right nowbecause we had some freshmen upfront and we needed to score somegoals, so we took some chances.”

The chances paid off for theCats considering the goal was thefirst surrendered by Panthersophomore goalkeeper RyanWaguespack since Ohio State tal-lied against him three games ago.

Panthers earn split in weekend tournamentBy Chad Verbais

Staff writer

Women’s soccer split a pair of gamesthis weekend in the Panther ShowcaseTournament hosted by Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Seniors Beth Aussin, HeatherOry and Diane Markus were selected to theAll-Tournament Team.

Another individual honor happened inthe loss to Purdue, when senior forwardTracie Strother scored a goal for the 100thpoint in her career. Strother is only the sec-ond person in Eastern and Missouri ValleyConference history to achieve this mile-stone.

Eastern was upset Saturday becomingthe first team to lose to Purdue’s first yearwomen’s soccer program. Purdue was 1-6on the season after that game and the lossdropped Eastern to 4-4.

The Panthers then came out and playedaggressive soccer on Sunday beatingWisconsin-Milwaukee 2-1 in a double-overtime match.

Eastern would be put behind early whenUWM senior Jamie May would take senior

Mara Thompson’s pass and tap it in to beatgoalie Jeanine Fredrick.

UWM would take the lead with theminto halftime, but Eastern was not going togo home empty handed. Although thePanthers only took nine shots compared toUWM’s 27 that would be all they wouldneed to come home with a victory.

Twenty six minutes into the second halfOry would feed Strother a pass and shewould take a breakaway shot to beat thegoalie and tie the score 1-1.

“We know we can be as good as wecome out to play,” head coach Steve Ballardsaid. “Yesterday was a huge letdown toPurdue. Today we came out and were pre-pared to play a tough match.”

A first overtime of vigorous action wasfollowed by a second until Eastern brokethe tie and got the victory.

Two minutes before the end of the sec-ond overtime Aussin took a corner kick thatset up Markus for a picture perfect headerinto the goal to give Eastern a 2-1 doubleovertime victory.

“This was a great win for us, it reallyshowed character from the girls,” Ballard

said. “We just have to work on playing likethis against all the teams we face.”

Saturday, Purdue struck early in the firsthalf when ten minutes into the game fresh-man Christina Creamer broke down theright side and took a breakaway shot thatescaped the grasp of Eastern goalie JessicaGraczyk.

The Panthers answered with a goal oftheir own two minutes later. Aussin founddaylight and ripped a shot from 30 yards outto tie the score at one a piece.

That was the closest the Boilermakerswould allow Eastern to come to them therest of the day. Purdue went on to score twomore unanswered goals before halftime.

“It has been this way all year,” Ballardsaid. “The teams that look easy we seem tonot prepare for as well mentally. The toughteams we always seem to come out and playaggressive soccer against.”

First Rebecca Broering tapped the ballinto the net during a scramble in front of thePanther goal. Then with a minute and a halfleft before halftime Sarah Barnes let a shotgo from 30 yards out that again beatGraczyk. Purdue took a 3-1 lead with them

into the half.Eastern came out the second half hoping

to storm back as it did against Illinois, andit looked for a while like they might. Eightminutes into the second half Strother, asenior, took a pass from Ory and brokedown the left side beating freshman goal-keeper Jocelyn Cavalier for a goal. Thescore was now 3-2 but Purdue showed nosigns of giving the lead back to Eastern.

Ten minutes later Purdue junior JennineSchurr got a piece of a crossing corner kickand sent the ball to the back of the net tomake it 4-2.

Purdue added another goal to ice thecake when junior Sara Field took a passfrom freshman Tara McCarthy and took ashot from ten yards out to beat Graczyk forthe last goal of the game.

“The Missouri Valley Conference gamesstart this Friday and we know what we haveto do now to win games,” Ballard said. “Wehave to focus on all the teams from here onout, even the ones that seem less criticalthan others. These first nine games havebeen rough, but I think they will help us outin the long run.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The return ofthe Cardinals - football Cardinals,that is - was a disappointment for St.Louis on Sunday, and a nightmarefor Dexter McCleon.

The second-year cornerback,who became a starter when franchiseplayer Ryan McNeil held outthrough most of the preseason, wasflagged for two pass interferencepenalties and victimized on a touch-down pass.

Those mistakes accounted for 17points as Arizona beat the St. LouisRams 20-17.

“It’s great to be 2-2 after an 0-2start,’’ Cardinals coach Vince Tobin,in his third year, said. “We haven’tbeen 2-2 since I’ve been here.’’

The game was the Cardinals’ firstregular-season contest in St. Louissince owner Bill Bidwill took theteam to Arizona following the 1987season. After the game, Tobin gaveBidwill the game ball.

“I’ll probably have this one doneup and put it in a place of impor-tance,’’ Bidwill said.

The Rams (1-3) lost their eighthstraight home game, wasting a strongshowing by rookie running backRobert Holcombe, who carried 21times for 84 yards and scored twice.

McCleon’s biggest gaffe came inthe fourth quarter, when he interferedwith Arizona’s Frank Sanders for a43-yard penalty that set up JoeNedney’s game-winning 29-yardfield goal with 4:04 to play.

“He threw it high, but I thought Icould jump up and get it,’’ Sanderssaid. “But my legs got caught up.’’

McCleon and Rams coach DickVermeil disputed the call.

“I thought he tripped,’’ McCleonsaid. “We were going for the ball.Why would I want to push a guydown way downfield?’’

“Uncatchable ball,’’ Rams coachDick Vermeil said. “When an offen-sive player and a defensive player gettheir feet tangled up, it’s normallynot pass interference.”

The Rams were flagged 10 timesfor 138 yards.

The rest of Eastern’s offensecame off of two Chad Larner fieldgoals in the third quarter, both 27-yard chip shots.

“Chad Larner deserves somespecial recognition,” Spoo said.“We hung tough and didn’t fold.We made the plays when we had toand it was a team effort from ourguys. We just couldn’t get in thereand that’s a testament to the

defense played by both sides. “Coaches make the plans but

the players have to execute,” hesaid. “The players did that.”

Eastern finished the game with275 yards of offense to Tech’s 234.

“We moved the ball but we hadtrouble punching it in,” Pantherquarterback Anthony Buich said.“(In the second half) we took careof the ball and made the adjust-ments we needed to in throwingand running the ball.”

Buich finished the game 13-of-23 for 123 yards and two intercep-tions.

“We knew the offense wasgoing to be good, but the secondaryand the defensive line was what wewere worried about,” Perry said.“We’ve come together and becomea good defense.”

The main reason for thePanthers improving defense is thedefensive coaches.

“(Defensive coordinator Bob)Krieger is poised and enthusiasticand (Ron) Lambert and (Chris)Wilkerson are demanding which Ithink makes us better,” Spoo said.

The Panther defensive had

another stop when Racioppi hadled the Tech offense to the Eastern46-yard line, and was greeted by

Perry. Perry came around the cor-ner and hit Racioppi from his blindside, causing him to fumble thefootball. Scott fell on the lose ballto stop the Golden Eagle drive.This was one of Perry’s four tack-les on the day.

Perry said he couldn’t believe aTech defender didn’t block him enroute to Racioppi.

“My eyes just lit up and I washoping nobody was going to pick itup this time,” he said.

Scott said he did not even seethe hit that caused Racioppi tofumble the football.

“I had two guys in my face andI was just doing my normal job,” hesaid. “I just happened to see theball on the ground.”

Ruggers defeat Illinois behind team effort

By Matt WilsonSports editor

In the past the Eastern women’s rugbyteam had lost to the Illinois women’s rugbyteam by 30, 40 and 50 points.

This year is a different story, as both the Aand B Hornet teams defeated the Illinoissquad. The A team won 12-5 and the B team

won 15-12. “It was an incredible team effort,” head

coach Scott Crawford said. Crawford said him and the team were on

an emotional high after the victories. “I personally was greatly cheered by being

on the touch line with my wife of 27 yearsPenny,” Crawford said. “She has been atremendous helper in the early week monitor-ing players through the medical examinationprocess. We hugged at the end of the gameand felt exhilarated watching the excitedHornets pulling off a sensational victory.”

Crawford said after the victory the team

was crying and on an emotional high. Eastern had two trys in the game, which is

the equivalent of an American football touch-down.

The only difference is a try is worth fivepoints. Mel Petrucci and Jasmin Hutchinsoneach had one try in the game. This is the firsttime in seven games Illinois has given up atry.

Besides the play of Hutchinson andPetrucci, Crawford said he was impressedwith the play of a couple of his other players.

“Our captain Curly Alden in the first gameagainst Illinois State showed she could run

and tackle and in the U of I game she showedshe was a splendid kicker,” he said. “As forthe forwards Catherine Lane controlled theline outs which provided quality for our run-ning backs.”

But a big part to the Eastern victory wasthe play of the Hornet defense.

“They tackled like players possessed andraised their level of play,” Crawford said.

Crawford said the team is hoping this winwill carry over into the rest of the season.

“Curly said she fells there is no stoppingus,” he said. “After we have beaten (Illinois)the sky is the limit.”

Volleyball capturesvictory over Loyola

By Kyle BauerStaff writer

The Panthers overcame historyand a slow start to earn their ninthwin of the season. Eastern defeatedLoyola-Chicago in five games (7-15, 15-7, 15-8, 12-15 and 16-14) toimprove its record to 9-2 overall.

Historically, the Panthers do notplay well against Loyola. Eastern is8-9 against the Ramblers and hadnot beaten them in eight years.

This match did not start out anydifferent.

“We had not beaten them since1991. We have struggled againstthem in the last few years,” Pantherhead coach Betty Ralston said.“We started out the first game veryslowly. We did not play well tostart. It was just ugly. We playedreally bad in the first game.”

Eastern bounced back to win thenext two games and take a 2-1 lead.

“We talked before the fourthgame and said that we wanted towin in four games and get out,”Ralston said.

The Panthers again fell behindearly 10-4, but battled back and tiedthe score up at 10.

The lead see-sawed back andforth before Loyola finally won thegame and forced a fifth game.

“In the fourth game we were sofar down and then came all the wayback I really thought we weregoing to win,” Ralston said.

In the rally game, it was Easternwho jumped out to an early lead

before letting it slip away. The Panthers went up 9-3 before

letting the Ramblers catch up, butEastern was able to put the gameaway on a game winning block bySherry Austin and Amy Heimann.

Leading the way for theRamblers was outside hitter SarahPoglitis. The freshman tallied 16kills and 11 digs in the match.

“Poglitis was the only one doinganything and we were not stoppingher,” Ralston said. “On match pointSherry and Amy finally blockedher. I think it was about the onlytime that we blocked her all game,but it was a great way to win.”

For the Panthers it was anotherteam effort. Juniors Meleah Cutlerand Cari Stuchly lead the Panthersoffense. Cutler recorded a teamhigh 12 kills while Stuchly servedup five service aces.

Heimann and sophomore KimBlackwell led the defense with 19and 20 digs, respectively.

With the loss, Loyola dropped to4-10. “They are a good team. It isgreat that we got the win, “Ralstonsaid. Going five games is OK aslong as we get the win. We willprobably play some five gamematches down the road.”

Panthers get defensive against Tech

By Chad MerdaManaging editor

Surely Tennessee Tech coachMike Hennigan didn’t draw it upthat way Saturday.

With the score 13-6, the GoldenEagle offense moved the ball to theEastern 43-yard line and was facedwith a 4th-and-10 with 1:08 left inthe game.

After a timeout, quarterbackTony Racioppi took the snap,tripped on his own feet and wasruled down – that put an end to theTech threat and secured the 13-6Panther win in the Ohio ValleyConference opener for both teams.

“Wasn’t that something?”Eastern coach Bob Spoo said afterthe game. “Those things happen.I’m sure they’re kicking them-selves, but we’ll take it.

“This game is a big win for usand I knew it was going to betough.”

The win takes Eastern to 3-1overall and 1-0 in the conference,which puts it in a three-way tiewith Eastern Kentucky (3-1, 1-0)and Murray State (3-1, 1-0) for theconference lead.

In Tech’s prior possession, theGolden Eagles also displayed theability to move the ball, but a sackby Antwan Perry forced a fumbleof quarterback Anthony Racioppiand Reggie Scott recovered it forEastern to end the threat.

Eastern led the entire game, butTech did close the gap to 7-3 off a42-yard David Collett field goal asthe first half wound down.

The Panthers’ lone touchdowncame off a 1-yard Justin Lynch diveinto the end zone at the 6:19 markin the first quarter. However, thattouchdown could have never hap-pened without a gift from Tech.

On a 3rd-and-2 from the Tech45-yard line, Lynch rushed for ayard which would make it 4th-and-1. However, Tech accepted anEastern offsides penalty, whichmade it 3rd-and-7 and gave thePanthers another chance. Easterncapitalized when quarterbackAnthony Buich rushed for nineyards and a first down, to keep thescoring drive alive.

Going into the season, thePanther defense was supposed to bethe weak link for the Eastern team.

But the defense came to play onSaturday, as it held the TennesseeTech offense to 234 yards andEastern escaped with a narrow 13-6victory over Tech in the Ohio ValleyConference opener at O’BrienStadium. Of the 234 yards, 100 of

them came from the rushing attackof the Golden Eagles.

“We have an undersizeddefense, but we are a lot quickerand we play with intensity,” seniortackle Reggie Scott said.

Where the Panther defense real-ly had to buckle down was on thefinal drive. A big 14-yard pass playfrom Tech freshman quarterbackTony Racioppi to junior Walter Hillput Tech on the Eastern 43-yardline with two minutes remaining.

But the Panther defense rose tothe occasion and caused Racioppito throw three straight incompletepasses and then saw Racioppi tripover his own feet on fourth down.

“The thing about this defense iswhatever happens we never get rat-tled,” Scott said. “I’ve been here forfive years and I’ve seen other teamsreact like ‘What happened, what dowe do now?’ We bend but we don’tbreak.”

Panther head coach Bob Spoo

was impressed with the play of hisdefense in the win.

“Our defense played solid,” hesaid. “They gave up a couple ofyards in the hurry up situation in theend, but they kept them off theboards.”

Senior Panther strong safetyAntwan Perry said parts of thedefense were a question mark forthe team going into the season.

Playing hard for one half of asoccer game and expecting to windoesn’t get the job done.

On Sunday afternoon that’s justwhat happened as Eastern (7-0-1)and Northwestern (4-4-1) battled toa 1-1 tie.

“We didn’t play well except forour backs, and Jeff (Nix) was Jeffas he scored again for us,” coachTim McClements said. “It was avery even game, until later in thesecond half when we stepped up.”

Eastern will need someone tostep up after Nix left the matchmidway through the second halfwith a sore hamstring. Nix wassidelined for the remainder of thegame, and senior midfielder MikeCzarnecki didn’t see any action forprecautionary reasons with a pulledmuscle.

“The young guys will need to

put up great performances,”McClements said. “Some of thebest teams can deal with adversity,and we need to adapt. If we don’t itcould cost us again.”

The Panthers took an early leadon Nix’s ninth goal of the season.Junior Trey Balch fed the speedyforward on a pass over the top ofthe defense.
