By Jarad Jarmon Associate News Editor | @JJarmonReporter

Stripping their clothes off piece-by-piece, students will be running through the frigid temperatures expected for the Nearly Naked Mile at 10 a.m. Saturday starting in the Car- man Hall parking lot. Roughing it through 20 mile per hour winds and temperatures below freezing, 30 registered runners, with more expected to join by the time the race starts, will be stripping down to their “bathing suit area” and running a mile. There will be 3-4 stations along the trail where runners will take off specific items. For instance, at the first station, they will take off mittens, hats and scarfs they may have on. Carrie Klaphake, a student life graduate assistant working with Alumni Services who is sponsoring the event, said they have been DION MCNEAL | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS warning runners to wear layers when going on Quentin Jordan, a freshman biological sciences major and John Bailey, a freshman mathematics and computer science major manage to find the run. some time to have a cigerette break after studying in the 24-hour lounge.

Becoming a percussionist is a lot like being grabbed by the violin strings and shaken until your body is being thrusted to a beat it can reso- nate with. At least this is how it happened to Kyle Dom- broski, a senior psychology major and percussionist. Dombrowski played the violin regularly – that is until his aunt gifted him a toy set of cardboard drums when he was a child. After that, the days of Vivaldi and Corelli were fond memories becoming increasingly mu ed by tapping mallets and chat- tering hi-hats. “ere’s a lot I can learn,” Dombroski said. “I’m never going to stop learning, and I’m never going to perfect something, so I always have a goal.” For Dombroski and his peers, these goals are inspired in the percussion lab of the Doudna Fine Arts Center, where music students gather and re- hearse.By Katie Smith Meghan Osterbur, a sophomore biological sci- encesPhoto major, said Editorshe still does not |know @ how long it takes to learn to play percussion because the pro- cessDEN_News is all-encompassing. “The cool thing about percussion is that any- thing can be a percussion instrument,” she said.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already almost halfway through the month of Jan- uary. Before we know it, we’ll be on spring break, hopefully in warmer conditions, and prepping for our final exams in what, for some us, could be our last semester here at Eastern. There’s a lot to keep up with and those due dates and deadlines tend to sneak up on us. Lost in all the hustle and bustle is probably state and local government elections. It’s probably the last thing on your mind, and it’s understandable that you might not be totally on top of all those things, but they are important and they do matter. The last day to register to vote in the state of Illinois is Feb. 18, so you’ve still got some time, but like we said, that day will creep on you before you know it. To help with this, Student Government SABRINA ANN DUNCAN | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS is helping put together a voter registration drive at the Martin Luther King Jr. Uni- versity Union Food Court from Jan. 27 to Students are not professionals for reason Jan. 31, running from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day.
