By Valentina Vargas Contributing Writer | @DEN_News

Students will be able to interact with the officers from the Univer- sity Police Department through “Layin’ Down the Law Lemon- ade Stand” from noon to 2 p.m. on Wednesday outside of Cole- man Hall. University Police officers will also be giving handouts to stu- dents about campus safety tips, such as being aware of their sur- roundings or not walking alone at night, as well as giving out lem- onade. The handouts will include im- portant contact phone numbers as well. There will also be other items like whistles, key chains and flashlights given away during the lemonade stand. University Police Chief Kent Martin said the UPD has tried different activities such as hav- ing coffee and pizza with students before, although this time they have decided to mix things up and collaborate with the Univer- sity Board. Ella Blakley, a junior art ma- jor, said it is cool that the police officers will be interacting with students through the lemonade stand.

By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports

After collecting 63 digs and av- eraging nearly six per set this past weekend, Eastern volleyball player Anne Hughes has been named Ohio Valley Conference defensive player of the week. Hughes is a redshirt sophomore and this is a special reward consid- ering that Hughes is coming off a season in which she played in no matches. “Having not played last year al- lowed me to really focus in on de- fense and serve receive while also try- ing to work on my weaknesses so I feel pretty comfortable,” Hughes said. She has bounced back incredibly strong this year and matching career high in digs against Chicago State with 29 is a fine example of that. Coming in with a chip on her shoulder this season, Hughes knew that the added depth to Eastern’s team could be a factor in her play- ing time. “Our team is a lot bigger this year with a lot of depth, and we always face tougher opponents so I can nev- er get too comfortable with where I am and always try to work harder,” Hughes said.
