Alumni will descend on campus with memories of their own Homecomings percolating in their minds. Memories of long nights, early mornings and endless laughter will wash over them. Weekends like these, when the whole campus and city are invested in having a good time, are what will create our future memories. Days like these are what we will remember as “college.” Forgetting difficult courses, relentless professors and boring rent-a-video nights will be easy for us in the future, but forgetting the fun and excitement that inevitably accompanies such a weekend as this will be impossible. And if that should happen, it would be a downright shame. It is our duty as students to have fun this weekend, to make Eastern what it is. We must act responsibly, and make memories that will last us a lifetime. The alumni flocking to Charleston during this weekend will inevitably notice changes like new buildings, people or rules. And we can easily see now too that this university will certainly look dissimilar to the one we will visit at future Homecomings. There will be new buildings, people and Knights of Columbus Community making a rules.

By Matt Williams Staff writer

The two-time defending women’s soccer Ohio Valley Conference champions have found themselves in a hole early as they suffered their first regular season conference loss in three years against Southeast Missouri State last Friday. While Eastern has compiled a strong start to the season with an 8-2 record after 10 games, it’s still not enough for a third title. If they wish to three-peat as champions, they must win against Murray Sate (6-5,0-0) at 3 p.m. this Friday at Lakeside Field. “Every conference game is very important because we only have five,” head coach Steve Ballard said.“This is a must win.” Ballard feels that his team has almost reached the next level. “We are there talent wise and physically, but we are not quite there mentally.” The Panthers cannot fall to 0-2 in this competitive conference. “This is really important because only four teams make the conference Sara Figiel/Photo editor tournament,” sophomore Eastern freshman Audra Frericks tries to beat her opponent to the ball during a recent home game. midfielder/forward Teri LaRoche said. “We need to come out hard and leading 13 goals this season.
