CAA to discuss proposed nursing courses By Emilie Bowman Staff Reporter I @DEN_news

The Council of Academic Affairs will be fo­cusing on the new nursing program on Thurs­day during its 2 p.m. meeting in Room 4440 of Booth Library.

On Aug. 21, 1he Daily Eastern News reported that Eastern's Provost Jay Gatrell announced the new four-year program proposal at the Faculty Senate meeting on Aug. 20.

Currently, Eastern offers an RN to BSN pro­gram where students who are already registered nurses can come and earn their Bachelor's in Sci­ence in Nursing degree.

The CAA will be voting on potential cours­es fo r the new program as well as revising the CAA bylaws.

Potential courses for the new four-year nurs­ing major include 19 new courses and one re­vised course.

Classes being voted on include Pathophysio­logic Concepts 1 and 2 (NUR 2612 and NUR 3612), Therapeutic Pharmacology 1 and 2 (NUR 2712 and NUR 3712), Professional De­velopment l, 2 and 3 (NUR 3423, NUR 3513 and NUR 4413 respectively) and Management of Health 1 and 2 (NUR 3836 and NUR 4636).

The council will also vote on classes to help nursing students prepare for real-world applica­tion of their degrees like NUR 3813 Evidence Guided Practice and NUR 4513 Transition to Practice.

The council will vote on a revised course: NUR 2613 Medical Terminology.

Finally, the council will vote on NUR 1511 Pathways, NUR 2822 Health Assessment, NUR 2823 Intro Health and Illness, NUR 3833 Men­tal and Behavioral Health, NUR 3835 Founda­tions of Nursing, NUR 4412 Health Systems,

To qualify for the new traditional nursing . program, students would have to come in with

their major declared as pre-nursing, allowing themselves a year of prerequisite courses here on campus before being able to apply as a full­time nursing student at the end of their fresh­man year.

Gatrell said he is expecting 175 to 180 nurs­ing students per year and to graduate 60 to 70 from each class.

The proposal for the new program was ap­proved to move forward to a Board of Trustees vote on Sept. 1, so the launch of it is still un­known.

The Tarble Atrium Cinema is kicking off the school year with "Spider-Man: Into the Spider­verse," on Thursday.

Tarble to show movie By Elizabeth Taylor Staff Reporter I @DEN_ news

The Tarble Atrium Cinema is kicking off the school year with its first movie showing.

" S pider-man: Into the Spider-verse," an a n imated look at the multiverse with­in Marvel's Spider-man comics, will begin at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Tarble Atrium.

The film is known for its unique animation style, which influenced the decision to show it this week.

Tim Abel, museum education manager and a personal fan of the film, explained further.

"The drawing style, on the surface, is a real­ly interesting match to the arrwork of Federi­co Solmi," he said, referencing the artist whose work is currently on display in the Tarble.

Solmi's "The Grand Masquerade" is currently occupied in the Main Gallety.

The Tarble Arts Center page on the Eastern website refers to the style of this set as "video painting," which is the process of painting frame after frame to put together into a looping vid­eo which plays continuously on a LED screen on one wall.

Fall enrollment is expected to increase again this year, with an anticipated double digit increase in the freshman class.

Josh Norman, the associate vice president of en­rollment management, said although he will not give an actual estimate ahead of Tenth Day, the numbers are looking up.

"There's growth across the board," Norman said in regards to increases in freshmen, graduate and transfer enrollments. "But as far as numbers, Tenth Day is where it's at."

Tenth Day is Friday; but Norman said numbers will most likely be released Tuesday evening.

What Did Last Year Look Like? Last year overall student enrollment was 7,526,

which included 1,27 4 high school students taking dual credit courses part-time.

Compared to 2017 figures, that was a 7.1 per­cent increase of overall enrollment. Fall enrollment in 2017 was 7,030.

Last year's numbers also included on-campus en­rollment, which was 5,082, and off-campus enroll­ment, which was 2,444.

In 2017, on-campus enrollJl1ent was 5,490 and off-campus enroJ!inent was 1,540, making on-cam-

pus enrollment in 2018 a 7.41 percent decrease and off-campus enrollment a 58.60 percent increase.

In a Sept. 4, 2018 article in The Daily Eastern News, Norman said the increase from 2017 to 2018 resulted from retention efforts and the annual strate­gic data plan that was established in 2017.

Norman credits the same plan and the work done over the course of the year for the next increase in enrollment.

· What Hdped Enrollment Grow? Norman said in the 2018 article that the annual

strategic data plan spms across 10 years. It adjusts annually to reflect the changing demo­

graphics and behaviors in data collected from stu­dents and potential students through college choice surveys.

This year the plan continues, and Norman said the team be�ind the plan completed 66 action plans, such as reinventing the major and minors da­tabase on Eastern's website, and incorporating "le­verage dynamic variable printing." This means that when a student's information enters Eastern's data­base, a postcard with the student's name is print­ed and sent to that student welcoming them to the university or giving them other information neces-sary for admission.

Perdue says Trump to act on ethanol Waivers

·<t-"

DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - U.S. Agriculture Sec­retary Sonny Perdue says President Donald Trump will take action to soft­en the effects of oil refin­ery exceptions for blending com-based ethanol in mo­tor fuel.

Perdue spoke to farm­ers and agribusitiess leaders Wednesday in Decatur, Il­linois.

He says it was "disap­pointing" that Trump's Environmental Protection Agency granted the·waiv­ers.

They came after Trump allowed for year-round sales of 15 percent ethanol blend in fuel.

That's up from the more common 10 percent blend and it lifted a summertime ban on sales of the 15 per­. cent fuel because of more smog produced by higher concentrations of ethanol.

Perdue would not say what action the Republican president will take bur that Trump believes the EPA waivers were "way over­done."

Ethanol advocates con-

tend that oil refinery waiv­ers have/reduced ethanol production by 2.6 billion gallons (9.8 billion liters) since Trump took office.

Perdue has sought to as­suage farmers' fears of fi­nancial problems after Chi­na halted purchases of U.S. farm products in an esca­lating ttade war.

Also, farmers are angry that the Republican ad­ministration ordered in­creased blending of corn­based ethanol in fuel but then exempted small oil re­fineries from complying.

Emergency declar:ed in Florida over hurricane

MIAMI (AP) - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has de­clared a state of emergen­cy and is urging residents to take precautions as Hur­ricane Dorian strengthens in the Caribbean on a path expected to take it to the U.S. Mainland.

Florida officials said Wednesday that they are

preparing for the hurricane to make landfall some­where along the state's eastern shore.

The National Hurricane Center says the Category 1 storm could grow into a dangerous Category 3 hur­ricane as it swirls toward Florida.

While the storm's track

remains uncertain, the gov­ernor says people should stock up on at least a week's worth of food and water, but be prepared to evacuate when advised.

The governor's declara­tion allows resources to be more efficiently and ur­gently marshaled ahead of the hurricane's arrival.

Activist sails across ocean to attend cliITiate Ineeting

NEW YORK (AP) -Swedish teen-climate-ac­tivist Greta Thunberg ar­rived in New York City to chants a n d c h e e r s Wednesday after a trans­Atlantic trip on a sailboat to attend a global warm­ing conference.

Thunberg, 16, and her

crew were escorted into a lower Manhattan mari­na at about 4 p.m., con-

·

eluding a two-week cross­ing from Plymouth, Eng­land. Hundreds of activ­ists gathered on a Hudson River promenade to cheer her arrival.

Thunberg waved, was

lifted onto a dock, then took her first wobbly steps on dry land.

"All of this is very over­whelming," she said of the reception, looking slightly embarrassed.

The teenager refused to fly because of the carbon cost of plane·travel.

Questions rise after US turns away Palestinian Harvard freshman

BOSTON (AP) - A Pales­tinian student trying to start c lasses at Har vard Univer­sity was denied entry to the· U.S. in a case that critics of the Trump administration call emblematic of overly inva­sive screening at border check­points.

·

Ismail Ajjawi, who had been living in Lebanon, was refused entry into the U.S. after land­ing Friday at Logan Interna­tional Airport in Boston, uni­versity and federal officials confirmed this week.

The 1 7-year-old freshman said the denial had to do with politically oriented social me­dia po_sts by his friends.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection would not confirm ·that, with spokesman Michael McCarthy saying only that the decision to cancel Ajjawi's visa was based on information dis­covered during an inspection. He declined to elaborate but stressed that Ajjawi was not

Owner won't add casino gambling at Arlington Racecourse ·

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) - The owner of Ar­lingto rr International Race­course in northern Illinois has announced the company will not seek a license to add casino gall).bling at the track.

Churchill Downs CEO Bill Carstanjen on Wednesday said state law requiring the track to dedicate a portion of casi­no earnings to racing purses makes placing casino games at the suburban Chicago track un­tenable.

. deported, meaning he can still seek reentry.

Harvard is working to re­solve the matter, univ�rsity spokesman Jason Newton said. AMIDEAST, a nonprofit orga­nization that awarded Ajjawi a scholarship, is providing legal assistance.

Federal agents detained Aj­jawi at the airport for eight hours, searched his cellphone and l aptop, and questioned him about his friends' social media posts, according to a written statement Ajjawi gave to The Harvard Crimson , the student newspaper.

The posts included "politi­cal points of view that oppose the U.S.," Ajjawi wrote, not elaborating on their content.

"I responded that I have no business with such posts and that I didn't like, (s)hare or comment on them and told her that I shouldn't be held responsible for what others post," he wrote to the Crim­son about his interaction with a federal agent.

"The student's family won't comment beyond the state­ment in the-Crimson, said Ajj­awi' s father, Bassel.

Carstanjen noted Arlington would enter the gambling mar­ket with a tax rate that would be approximately 17. 5 per­cent to 20 percent higher than the :existing Chicago-area casi­nos 'due to contributions to the thoroughbred purse account. Ch;!rchill Downs also owns a majority interest in Rivers Ca­sino in nearby Des Plaines.

Carstanjen also says horse racing at Arlington is guaran­teed until 2021, after which the company may move to track to another location in Illinois.

T h e I l l inois T h orough­bred Horsemen's Association says the decision on casinos by Churchill Downs means the company is snubbing the men and women of thoroughbred horse racing.

'Chasing the American Dream' program launchi Office of Civic Engagement planning to begin program Sept. 5, will run through Fall 2020

By Logan Raschke Managing Editor I @LoganRaschke

The Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism is starting conversa­tions W'-i,th students about current is­sues, lo�al and .federal governments, . the presid�rttlal election and civ­ic engage111ent through its upcoming Chasing the American Dream series.

The program officially starts Sept. 5 with the program "Defining the American Dream": Students can help the office build a U.S. Flag by defin­ing what they believe "the American Dream" means, according to East­ern's website. Students can drop off their submissions from 11 a.m. until I p.m. at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union Bridge Lounge.

The Chasing the American Dream series will be ongoing through Fall 2020 with several programs available every semester.

In September, October and No­vember, students can attend the EIU Ted Talks in which speakers discuss is­sues such as 9/11 's impact on immi­gration, national impacts of lslamo­phobia and workplace discrimination and the history of voter suppression, to name several.

The I-Civics Game Nights, which are interactive video games geared to­ward educating players about similar current jssues, will also be available to attend September through November.

Beth Gillespie, director of the Of­fice of Civic Engagement and Volun­teerism, said Alex Martens, a graduate assistant for the office, started asking questions last fall about what more Eastern could do to promote civic en­gagement among its students.

Martens said he knew the office was doing great things for the "vol­unteerism" part of civic engagement

and volunteerism, but he believed the "civic engagement" part could use a new program for students. That is where development for what would soon become the Chasing the Amer­ican Dream series began.

Inspiration for the series came from his own experience as an undergradu­ate student, Martens said.

When Martens was working on his undergraduate degree, the president of his university introduced him and his fellow students to a talk that im­pacted him, he said.

A Republican senator and a Demo­cratic House member visited the uni­versity to have a discussion about ci­vility in political discussion.

Martens said the e xpe rience changed his perspective on politics as a whole, and it had a pan in inspiring him to do more for civic engagement activities and education at Eastern.

"Having both people from both parties and the university president and having a discussion about, you know, 'we can actually have di.ffcienr opinions.but still respect each otlier, and we can actually g111-things done without attacking each other,"' Mar­tens said. "I think ever since I've had that, I've really kind of seen politics in a different way."

Gillespie said what makes the Chasing the American Dream series an effective learning tool for students is its neutral stance. on all is­sues it discusses. ,

"Regardless of where on the political spectrum peo­ple fall, everyone needs to feel that this is a safe space to come and learn," Gil­lespie said.

Martens and Gillespie said another interesting as­

pect of this series lies within its name: Chasing the American Dream. They said they are both interested in see­ing how students define the ''.Ameri­can Dream" itsel£

Gillespie said she believes as t;he U.S. people's moral and political liefs have shifted over decades, dieir perceptions and definiti S.'' f the/ American Dream have turn. Instead of th fence," nuclear fa ' , Gi 1e said she thinks the average person defines it differently now.

Martens and, Gillespie said college students have a responsibility to re­main aware of current events, even though not all of them are. That is why they would both encourage stu­dents to attend the monthly pro­grams.

Dates and locations for the pro­grams are available on Eastern's we site.

Martens p the o will up-dat page on ore information

out future programs is available, and if any changes to the currently listed programs occur, the office will list them on the website.

On-campus headcount is figure that

·' .

Dlattfil1S DlOSt Eastern is ·scheduled to release its 10th day en­

rollment nwnbers for the Fall 2019 semester Friday, nwnbers-which Eastern's Provost Jay Gatrell said last week were "very positive" and also added that it is "going to be a great full in terms of head count."

We at The Daily .Eastem News, as part of the East­ern community, are pleased and excited to hear Ga­trell bring that news forward, and we hope to once again see total enrollment up for the Fall semester.

But we would also call on Eastern, our readers and members of the Charleston community to be vigilant of the specifics of enrollment nwnbers.

For the Fall 2018 semester, Eastern reported a to­tal enrollment of 7,526 students, an increase of 7.06 percent from the year before. However, the nwnber of students actually on Eastern's campus, present in Charleston taking classes, was just 5,082, a decrease of 7.41 percentfrom 2017.

The other 2,444 students counted toward total en­rollment were dual-credit, online or other students that were not actually present on campus.

The 5,082 students on campus is the nwnber we

feel truly mattered and is the figure that should have . driven the narrative when Eastem's administration

discussed �nrollment with the charleston and East­ern communities.

Because, while it is great that total enrollment was up to 7,526 students, thanks to an increase in off­campus students from 1,540 in 2017 to 2,444 in 2018, that figure truly bears little impact on Charles­ton compared to the on-campus enrollment.

1bis is because when Eastern reports an enroll­ment increase, local businesses, landlords and other community members hear this and make decisions based on an increase in enrollment. But, the 2,444 off-campus students that contributed to the increase in total enrollment are not in Charleston. They are not renting homes and apartments, and they are not spending money at local businesses.

This is why when Eastern reveals its enrollment nwnbers, it is vitally important for them to be com­pletely transparent about the nwnber of students ac­tually on campus because that is the nwnber that has the greatest impact on the Charleston community.

The specifics of the enrollment numbers truly matter.

W hen total enrollment is up, it is vital for the community to know what that means exactly, where enrollment is up and where it is down. By far and away the most important enrollment nwnber is the number of students present in Charleston. That nwnber being down in 2018 is information that was and is pivotal to Charleston.

That is why we are calling on the administration to be completely up front with that figure this semester when speaking publicly about enrollment.

It is also why we are signalling for everyone to be aware of on-campus head count in 2019 because whether it is higher or lower than it was in 2018, it is the enrollment figure that truly matters.

Police brutality: It is out of control The duty of police officers is to ke�p citizens

safe in the city they reside in, no matter the cost. We put our lives-in the hands of the protectors whenever we are in dangerous situations, such as: robbery, assault, rape, child molestation, ab­duction, etc., but what do we do when our he­roes turn into the villians in the eyes of African­Americans?

There have been numerous cases of police brutality against the African-American commu­nity since time can remember.

So for the misinformed, what exactly is police brutality? Police brutality is when police officers abuse their authority for undue violence on ci­vilians illegally; although.

Even though police brutality is a crime, po­lice officers are not punished like criminals would be for committing a crime. Most police officers are suspended with pay while an investi­gation of such misconduct is in progress.

On July 17, 2014, 43-year-old Eric Garner was killed by Caucasian New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo because of, what I believe was, police brutality. According to TIME, Pantaleo placed Garner in a chokehold after accusing him

RAYSHAUN STEVENS

of selling individual cigarettes tax-free. A witness told TIME that Garner was actually just break­ing up a 'fight. After numerous times of Gar­ner telling the police officer that he could not breath, the officer would not release the choke­hold around his neck. Pantaleo was investigat­ed and was not charged in the death of Garner.

However, five years later, after intense scruti­ny from the community, Mayor Bill de Blasio fi­nally made a decision to fire Pantaleo, not be­cause of the crime, but because he violated a de­partment ban on chokeholds.

I could go on and on with more examples, such as Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, John Crawford III, Don­tre Hamilton and the list goes on, but I digress.

How can we put our trust into the law that is !milt to attack our rights as human beings and take away our judicial processes? It has become the "new norm" for our African-American com­munity to be brutalized and demeaned by the hands of authority, specifically when it comes to policing.

In these critical times in the world, I'd hope that on these issues we would be progressing further in how our relationships are with oth­er races and/or authorities, but it seems like we are backtracking to an era where we are being judged by the color of our skin instead of the content of our character.

As a nation, we need to stand together, spread awareness and bring attention to this matter.

The next person could be you.

British reality TV prevailed this summer · Maybe you all are in on the hype-maybe you're not-but the UK's reality dating show "Love Is­land" has been iconic for five seasons now.

Every swnmer, the whole UK, like clockwork, settles in on weekdays with Iain Stirling to watch strangers crack on and compete for £50,000.

So, let me get to the point real quick: This swn­mer, the U.S. attempted to launch their own branch of "Love Island" ... and it tanked. This isn't just a personal opinion; the show received terrible ratings. It's receiving a second season, but it was awful.

Over the last decade that I can account for, I've noticed the U.S. has tried to adapt popular UK shows to US/Canadian television. MTV tried to adapt the UK's hit show "Skins," for instance­which is like a raunchier "Degrassi"-and it stunk.

The U.S.'s two success stories from these cul­ture-culture experiments they engage in are Shame­less (U.S.) and, of course, The Office (U.S.) Both of those shows have originals based in the UK.

Back to "Love Island" and why the U.S.'s version failed (but is getting another season). So, the con­cept of the show is a simple one. It follows our reg­ular schema of a heteronormative dating show. We have an equal nwnber of cisgendered males and fe­males that are taken to a beautiful island and are

meant to couple up. Right away, the "islanders" are made to pick a

person of the opposite sex to share a bed with­scandalous-but are encouraged to get to know the others and make connections. Of course, there are big plot twists, people leaving, people cracking on behind other peoples' backs and lots of drama-but there's a new cast every season.

The U.S. took this show, thought, 'Oh, we can do that, too,' but it was missing aspects that, at the heart of "Love Island," keep viewers coming back The host, Caroline Flack, and the narrator, Iain Stir-

ling, are the secret. Caroline Flack is a TV presenter with a well­

known presence in the UK. She's intense. When she shows up, the audience knows someone's heart is about to be broken. Her presence is feared and re­vered by the islanders. Iain Stirling is a comedian. He never actually interacts with the islanders; he's more so interacting with the viewers through the mediwn of the TV show.

The U.S. casted Arielle Vandenberg as the host and Matthew Hoffman as the narrator. Vanden­berg is an actress and model and Hoffman is, like, a TV presenter. I didn't know anything about them or what to expect, but I can guarantee it's their fault that it failed. Vandenberg was too warm toward the islanders, claiming they felt like her "babies." Caro­line Flack would never. And, for me, Hoffman just flat lined. A lot. It was cringy hwnor.

· I understand that adaptations of anything have differences. To change what works, though? What's the point of adapting it? I'm not saying the U.S. needed Flack and Stirling themselves to succeed; they just needed to cast better.

Students share semester goals

'"That personalization is key to our suc­cess;' Norman said.

These action plans helped with the expected increase in enrollment, and other factors that helped with the growth include the help from the ad­missions staff, continued rebrand­ing efforts, alumni support and stable leadership within admissions and en­rollment management, Norman said.

State-wide Growth

Norman said one of the problems the university faced in years past was not having support from the state, which led to out-migration trends or students leaving the state to attend college.

Several Eastern students share their expe.h(_ence with goal setting and whether or no�ting goals are . ' #" helpful or stressfol.

Christos .Krrillou, a sophomore kinesiology and sports recreation major, said goals were something he found to be helpful in his life and with his schedule.

"I think it's more helpful, espe­cially to me as a student athlete; I set both goals in my sports and in my academics as well," Kyrillou said. "I think it's more helpful because you have more of a plan; you're ahead of other students, I guess, and you're better organized."

He shared his personal academ­ic goal-to do well in classes and maintain a good GPA.

"I want to get a 4.0 GPA in my academics," he said, "so I hope it ends up well."

Megan Foster, a sophomore art education major, said setting good goals was helpful for her, but it could get a little stressful.

"I think it's really helpful for me because it helps me have priorities, but it can be stressful if you procras­tinate on those goals," Foster said. " But having goals is important to know where you're going and where you want to go."

Foster said her academic goals consisted of staying focused and keeping up her grades.

"I would like to maintain a pret­ty good GPA," Foster said. "I think it's just making sure-'that I'm actu­ally staying committed to learning the material and not just attending that class and pretending to be there when I'm not mentally there."

Junior English major Kayla Guy­ton said having academic goals does the opposite of helping her.

"I find it stressful," Guyton said. "I go with the flow because I'm al­ready stressed out about classes, so to set a goal for that class is like, 'Oh my ��d. W hat am I going to do now?

Guyton said personal goals were something that everyone should strive for.

"I think everyone needs a goal within their life, like, you have a five-year goal, a 10-year goal; you need that because you have to look forward to something," Guyton said.

Guyton said she has set person­al goals for the semester that are not connected to her academics.

"I do have personal goals," she said. "My personal goal is to make sure I'm financially stable so I don't have to worry about finances this se­mester."

Kyrillou said his personal goal was to do well on the Tennis team.

"I want to get in the lineup," Ky­rillou said. 'Tm not sure if I'm in or not, but I'm going to try to be."

Another reason "Into. the Spi­der-verse" was chosen for this week was because of the film's own public acclaim, said Mike Schuetz, director and chief curator at Tarble.

"The timing was right ... It is also widely popular and accessible to most, if not all audiences," Schuetz said.

Schuetz said the arts center hopes to draw in as many students as possi­ble with programs like this one.

The Tarble Atrium has many more events planned for this semes­ter, which are not limited to movie showings.

Many of the events include work­shops where attendees can make art ' pieces of their own, inspired by the exhibition in the main gallery at that time.

Others are formatted similarly to book club meetings and involve in­depth discussion of a specific book, eventually tying it back to the cur­rent exhibition.

He said this benefits all universities because it helps decrease the amount of out migration and gives students and families a "vote of confidence" in the state .

Burke ready to improve, lead men's soccer By Blake Faith Men's Soccer Reporter I @BFAITH0024

When Jonathan Burke came on his college visit to Eastern he had a good feeling about Eastern's soccer program, that if he came to Eastern everything would work out.

Burke, the starting go,alkeeper for h ' ·'

.

al kn h' t e men s soccer team, so ew 1s high school statist�uld have to b� carried over to Eastern in fgrms of hard work.

In his senior season of high school, he recorded 1 6 shutouts, led his team to a super sectional and was a Chicago Catholic League All-Conference player.

Last year at Eastern, his first year as the starting goalkeeper, he recorded a 1 .20 goals against average and saved 66 shot attempts.

Burke knew that was a good base­line, but he wants more of himself after having thoughts of those numbers pos­sibly being better.

"I wanted to come to a soccer pro­gram that was similar to my high school," Burke said. "One that was be­ing built by the coaches and players and I wanted to be a part of that right away.

Right away, Burke was introduced to competition. Eastern's goalkeeper be­fore Burke was Mike Novotny.

Novotny had a career goals against average of 1 .74, which is sixth in school history. Novotny is also third in school history in saves with 286 saves in his Panther career.

"Being told by coach Lara that I was going to have to earn my spot, or "earn your pizza'' as he would say, is what made me hungry to come to make my name for myself here at EIU."

Burke learned a lot from Novotny. During their fight for the starting

goalkeeper spot, both would help each other out in the film room and on the practice field to get the best out of each other.

Novotny's success at Eastern made

F I L E P H OTO I T H E D A I LY EASTERN N E W S

Eastern goalkeeper Jonathan Burke skies over an attacker to make a save during the men's soccer team's double-overtime 1 -1 tie with Evansville in August 20 1 8 at Lakeside Field.

Burke feel some pressure. Burke de­scribed Novotny as "one of the best

goalkeepers in college" while Novotny was at Eastern.

N o w i s t h e t i m e t o g e t y o u r S e n i o r .P i c t u r e s !

''All the pressure was good because it was supported by all of my team­mates and the guys before me to step into that starting goalkeeper role and do whatever I caq. to get the job done for my team," Burke said. "I tell myself often that Mike was great and helped me become the goalkeeper I am today, but I don't want to be the next Mike Novotny, I want to be the first Jona­than Burke."

Although Burke has only played one season he has been described by play­ers and coaches as one of the leaders on this team. While he has taken on his leadership role, he mentions that every player exemplifies leadership on this 2019 team.

"Some days it may be "Sos" on the team, who is a fifth-year, and some days it's maybe Chad Hamler, who is only a Sophomore," Burke said. " I mean Cameron Behm and Chad Ham­ler I look up to both of those guys and they are both younger than me."

This season the team's goal is to win the Summit League. Burke says there is no better motivation than beipg ranked last in the preseason polls to achieve this goal.

"I picked this school to be the un­derdogs in every game we go into and this year is truly a test for the under­dogs," Burke said.

He mentioned that the team had a saying going into the Summit League awards banquet last year, which was that everything was fuel for the fire; the Summit League poll was just that.

"In the end, everything myself and my team is saying are just words for now and we know that," Burke said. "We as a band of brothers need to put our words into actions and get shit done this season."

The men's soccer team will play on the road Friday against Evansville to open the season.

Football starts season on road Thursday By JJ Bullock Editor-in-Chiefl @bullockjj

The Eastern football team opens its �n Thursday night on the road against Chattanooga in what will be the head­coachin)_ debut ofEastern's Adam Cush­ing. The gan\�pili" air on ESPN 3 at 6 p.m.

, ,

Here are five key things to watch for in the matchup .

../ 1. Two new head coaches make their debuts

Cushing will not be alone Thursday night in making his first appearance as a head coach: Chattanooga's Rusty Wright will be opposite him on the sideline also making his head-coaching debut.

It's safe to say that both roaches Thurs­day night will spend as much time try­ing to feel out their opponent, as they will their own team. Both roaches are dealing with rosters that feature a lot of freshman, and both willfuce the challenge of playing against a scheme that has not been seen before.

Cushing has never seen a team roached by Wright, and Wright has never seen a team coached by Cushing.

Cushing has been able to do back­ground research on Wright based on his previous stops, the most recent of which was as the linebackers and special teams coordinator for Georgia State, and said he expects the Moes to rome out playing hard for their new roach.

"I am expecting them to play really, re­ally hard and be really sound scheme and fundamentally," Cushing said. "Just as y;ou have 'f<ltcheq the .<;>Pier places that those coaches and staff have been, (the team) has been well roached. (Wright) has done a great job putting a staff together, but the first thing that jumps off is how hard they play and how sound they are."

2. Orattanooga's comerbacks against F.astem's wide receiv­ers •

ChattanoogaS strength on defense is in its serondary, where it boasts two all-con­ference cornerbacks in Jerrell Lawson and Brandon Dowdell.

The duo will offer a pick-your-pi>ison scenario for Eastern's statting quarterbacks when deciding which guy to deal with. Dowdell has a knack for finding a way to get the ball in his hands (he led the team with three interceptions last season), and Lawson is a big (6 foot 2, 195 lbs), physi­cal defensive back who can move up and play linebacker for the Moes when called upor .

What makes this matchup interesting,

F I L E PHOTO I T H E D A I LY EASTERN N E W S

Johnathan Brantley winds up to throw a pass to his receiver behind his blocker during Eastern's 55-41 loss to Indiana State in August 20 1 8 at O'Brien Field. Eastern travels to face Chattanooga Thursday night.

for Eastern, is the Panthers will be rolling out a brand new receiving rorps Thursday night as Eastern's top three receivers from last season all graduated.

Eastern's top three recievers this season, ·

per the depth chart released Sunday night, are Matt Reyna, Isaiah Hill and Xander Richards/Robbie Lofton.

It's a relatively inexperienced group: Hill is a transfer from South Dakota, Lof­ton made just one catch for Eastern last season and Richards made two catches. Reyna is the most experienced of the unit, as he had 21 catches for the Panthers last year.

Cushing said Chattanooga's defense, specifically the defensive backs, will pro­vide a great challenge for the offense, but said that the best way for Eastern to rom­bat that is to focus on controlling what they can rontrol in the game.

3. F.astem's offensive line

The Panthers are replacing all five of their starting offensive linemen from last season.

Freshmen guards Elkhanan Tandus and Anthony Sottosanto will get their first tastes of college football Thursday night.

Redshirt-sophomore Ben Solomon will start at center against Chattanooga. Solomon played in 10 games last season, as a member of the field goal unit, mak­ing Thursday night the first start of his ca­reer at center.

The tackle positions for Eastern will be manned by players with more experience than the rest of the line, but one of those players will be playing out of position.

Redshirt-junior Cole Hoover will start at lefi: tackle, but Hoover has previously started games at center for the Panthers. On the right side of the line will be red­shirt-junior Aaron Miller, who missed all of last season with an injury, but he did

start nine games at right tackle for East­ern in 2017.

4. What to do about Bryce Nun­nelly

Perhaps the biggest playmaker on Chattanooga5 roster is junior wide receiv­er Bryce Nunnelly.

Limiting his touches Thursday night is going to be huge if the Panthers want to be competitive in the game. Nunnel­ly was serond in the Southern Conference last season in yards per game (1 12.5), and his 1 ,237 receiving yards were the serond­most in school history for a single season.

Eastern's Mark Williams will most like­ly be the one to shadow Nunnelly in the game, but do not be surprised if Eastern uses more than just Williams on the dan­gerous target.

5. F.astem's two starting quar-

terbacks

It drove much of the season narrative last year and headed into week one of this season: The quarterback battle between Johnathan Brantley and Harry Woodbery is still an unsettled discussion for Eastern's offense.

last season the two split time at quar­terback, with head coach Kim Damer­on never naming one over the other as the No. 1 guy, and Cushing is doing the same. Both quarterbacks will play on Thursday, so keep an eye out for one to outplay the other.

Brantley and Woodbery performed neck-and-neck for all of last season and it very well could happen again this year. Thursday night will be a big indicator of which direction the two quarterbacks go.

The Eastern women's soccer team kicked off the 2019 campaign with a loss, but this week, the Panthers, along with plenty other OVC counterparts, look to right their ships.

Eastern stays on the road, after the season opener, to face Missouri-Kansas City Friday at 7 p:m.

The Skyhawks could not capital­ize on any of their five corner kicks in the contest, but Little Rock squandered each of its 1 3 shots en route to the tie.

Tennessee-Martin hits the road to face Evansville Thursday at 7 p.m.

An early surprise on the season for the OVC is Jacksonville State, which finished dead last in the preseason poll but proceeded to rattle off a 7-0 whop­ping to Alcorn State before handing Florida International a 2-0 loss.

Redshirt sophomore Morgan Le­rch and redshirt freshman Chloe Rus­so split time in goal during the victory

over Alcorn State, though neither were required to make a save.

Russo took over the duties in full against Florida International, recording two saves in 90 minutes.

Jacksonville State hosts Lipscomb Friday at 7 p.m. as the Gamecocks look to start the year 3-0.

Southeast Missouri remains as the only other undefeated OVC team after a 3-2 win over Southern Mississippi last weekend.

Both goalkeepers recorded four saves in the game, but with just under 1 0 minutes left in the match, senior Es­mie Gonzales netted one off a pass from freshman Megan Heisserer to secure the win.

The Redhawks return to the pitch Thursday at 4:30 p.m. against Arkansas.
