By Shannon Partain STAFF WRITER

Free food, prizes and fun are waiting for students, parents and alumni at Homecoming tailgating this year. Tailgating starts at 11 a.m. Saturday after the parade in the parking lot and grass behind O’Brien Stadium and ends at 1:30 p.m. when the game starts. Kerry Kulka, co-chair of the Homecoming Kick-Off Committee, and senior finance major said, tailgating will be catered, and that free hotdogs, hamburgers, chips and soda will be available to hungry tailgaters. The University Police Department has no special plans to handle the event, Chief Adam Due said. “We are still planning to run it the same as any other weekend,” he said. Shirley Stewart, acting vice president for student affairs, said the area will close 15 minutes prior to the game, and cars will not be allowed to leave the area until the fourth quarter.

While drinking is allowed in the tailgate area, local police will be enforcing minimum drinking age. “Cops will be ticketing if you are underage,” Kulka said. “They will be randomly asking people for IDs, so if you are underage, you might want to drink before you get there.” Still, the theme of tailgating is a fun time for every- one involved, Kulka said. “Be safe,” Kulka said. “The whole point is to have fun and show support.” - Shauna Gustafson, editor in chief, contributed to this story.

SAS is administered by the Institute for Shipboard Education and academically sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh, a press release stated. SAS is a comparative global studies program which uses a 23,500-ton ship as a maritime campus to take students from over 200 colleges and universities across the United States and abroad around the world, a press release stated. Ginger Rentfrow, an Eastern alumnus, participated in the SAS summer 2000 pro- gram. Rentfrow had heard about the pro- gram while she was in high school. When she looked into it, the only trips offered were for the fall and spring semesters, which were too long and too expensive for her. In the fall of 1999, Rentfrow began look- ing into doing a study abroad trip for the following summer. “One day at work (at the Brainard House), I saw in The Daily Eastern News SUBMITTED PHOTO an article about SAS offering a summer program through Europe, Asia and Megan Guernsey, daughter of English professor Bruce Guernsey, poses with some “friends” during a trip to India. Africa,” Rentfrow said in an e-mail. Rentfrow obtained an application for SAS online and was accepted. She chose SAS over a study abroad program in just one other country because of the unique travel experience. “There was freedom for independent travel or group trips. I love to travel and the thought of going to nine countries in one summer was better than one or two. I thought it would be exciting to travel with 400 other college students on a ship,” Rentfrow said in an e-mail. Besides taking classes, Rentfrow has memories of fun things she participated on while in the SAS program. On the ship, Rentfrow danced to 70s and 80s music and was in card game tournaments. A Pearl Jam concert in Norway, camel- riding around the pyramids in Egypt, bowling at 4 a.m. in Israel and touring a chocolate factory and beer brewery in Belgium are among Rentfrow’s fondest memories of the different countries she visited. “If I were to recommend this to anyone, I would say go for it. Forget about the SUBMITTED PHOTO money and go for it. It was so worth every penny I spent.

CROSS COUNTRY Homecoming gives Panther runners a bye week By Andy Panici STAFF WRITER

The Eastern cross country teams will head into Homecoming week with a bye. “We will have a good training week,” said head coach John McInerney. “We’ll regroup at the begin- ning of the week and then really train hard toward the end of the week. Some of the Panther’s runners will participate in the Homecoming race this weekend. “People who aren’t competing in Pre-Nationals will probably race,” said McInerney. “The guys and girls who are still in the mix in terms of top ten will do some kind of workout in conjunction of the Homecoming race.” The Panthers had a muddy run at Notre Dame last week making for slower times than expected. McInerney summed the Panthers’ performance as simply fair. “We competed pretty tough but we just didn’t run real well,” McInerney said. Men finished 14th overall and the women finished 24th as a team. “There weren’t too many weak teams competing,” said McInerney. The Panthers team competed among the best Big Ten schools in the nation. Stanford’s No.1 ranked men placed first. Rivals Michigan and Notre Dame placed second and third. Stanford’s No. 2 ranked women had five runners in the top 10. Wisconsin and Notre Dame placed second and third. The Panthers will head to Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 10 for Pre-Nationals to face nearly 100 teams. Senior Kyle O’Brien will be among the top runners for Eastern at Pre-Nationals. O’Brien finished 27th with a time of 25:19 out of a group of 174. O’Brien has been an Ohio Valley Conference Top Performer for two weeks and ran his season best at the EIU Open with a time of 24:55.70. Sophomore Angie Simone has claimed her first career win this year along with her first OVC Top Performer award.

Fall is known for the changing of the seasons, but to sports fans fall has nothing to do with turning their clocks back an hour or foliage. October marks the end of the baseball season with the World Series, then another ball takes its place – basketball. To fans of college basketball the road to March Madness begins tonight. At midnight Saturday, col- lege basketball teams will be allowed to officially start prac- tices. At Eastern, Midnight Madness will begin at 11 p.m. after Lantz Arena opens its doors to the public at 10:45. “This was a very well attended event last year, so we’re hopeful that even more students and adults show up this fall,” Eastern assis- tant athletic director Dave Kidwell said. Fans will be entertained by the Eastern Pep Band, Cheer Team and Pink Panthers dance corps. Those in attendance will also be treated to participatory games, an opportuni- ty to win Chicago Bears tickets and a drawing for east balcony chair back season tickets. Last year as part of Eastern’s Midnight Madness, the athletic department gave away a semester of tuition to three Eastern stu- dents in a contest in which they had to make a layup, free throw and half-court shot in under 30 seconds.

RUGBY Read Graziano’s lips, no new rugby teams in NCAA Panthers began first half of season without a loss

By Aaron Seidlitz STAFF WRITER

Eastern’s rugby team, the only officially recognized team by the NCAA, has started its program off in the right way this season. While Eastern only plays club teams, the program is still held up to the same stan- dards as any other sport. The rugby team became officially recog- nized by the NCAA in April of this year. However, they are the only nationally recog- nized team in the nation, meaning all their competition is club teams. Playing club teams from around the coun- try, Eastern had began the year by complet- ing the first half of the season without a loss. Being an official team does provide cer- tain advantages for Eastern because the rugby players have to conform to the coach- es standards through physical testing and standards. For club team players the atmos- phere is much more relaxed, which is the option these players are looking for. “For the most part club team members are players who choose to play for fun,” head coach Frank Graziano said. “Those players no longer want to run through the regula- tions of a recognized team.” Because Eastern’s program is officially recognized, Graziano can run physical test- ing and set standards that his players mush reach. Graziano said he makes it clear to his players that his team will be run just like any other sport.

By Shannon Partain and John Chambers STAFF WRITERS

The Homecoming 2002 “Life’s a Game Show at EIU” Parade kicks off this weekend with a pancake break- fast, a race and fun floats. The parade starts at 9:30 a.m. and goes north down Seventh Street, around the Square, and back down Sixth Street to end in front of Old Main. Interim President Lou Hencken and three former university presidents will lead the parade, said Leah Kaplan, special education major and parade committee member. Five or six local school bands will march in the FILE PHOTOS parade, Kaplan said.

The Nov. 5 elections will also impact this year’s parade. “Since this is an election year, there will be a lot of political floats,” Voegl said. Prior to the parade at 7 a.m there will be a pancake breakfast in the Domino’s parking lot on the corner of Seventh Street and Lincoln Avenue. The breakfast will draw the service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, and the whole homecoming committee, Kaplan said. Breakfast will be followed by a 2.5K run and walk at 9 a.m. which “starts the parade,” Zilch said. The 2.5 K run/walk goes along the parade route. The number of people racing is uncertain, even though runners are asked to sign up prior to the race, said Kaplan. “There’s no definite number because peo- ple can always join in at any time.” Tent city to convene in tailgaiting area at O’Brien
