By Michelle Jones Campus editor

A new committee for technology in education was established to meet the goals and recommen- dations of the Council of Deans, said Lida Wall, interim vice president for academic affairs. The Technology Enhanced and Delivered Education, headed by a steering committee, will meet at 4 p.m. every Thursday in Room 100 of Blair Hall. A public commitment was made at the June 12 Board of Trustees meeting to enhance learning and technology at Eastern, Wall said. After the Kate Mitchell / Staff photographer meeting, the Council of Deans developed a docu- ment on technology and education, which result- ed in the formation of the steering committee. Eastern students gathered at the Campus Pond pavilion on Thursday night to initiate the “Take Back the Night” walk. The purpose of the walk is to The TEDE has four purposes, Wall said. show support for victims of sexual assault. “The committee has as its charge to preserve Eastern’s defining educational values, enhance program quality and teaching excellence, enrich Campus marches against sexual violence educational experiences for on-campus students “We wanted to encourage students that each march. and expand our outreach to off-campus con- By Karen Kirr stituencies,” she said.

However, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. Recently, the perceived image of the university took a step in the right direction. For now, the administration and the University Professionals of Illinois are talking about ways to reach a settlement in the faculty salaries opener negotiations. Maybe this development will create a domino effect in creating a positive image on this campus. The Council for Academic Affairs is working to see that Eastern is more transfer-friendly by eliminating the upper-division core requirement for transfer students. With these recent developments, maybe the administration will be a little more satisfied with the image being portrayed within and outside the campus community. If the administration is pleased with the progress of these projects, maybe they will focus on the other “negative” images that people see when they think of Eastern.

there’s a band playing at stix.

by ben tully Staff writer For the past 4 years or so, the Chicago music scene has been about as innovative as the invention of the Magic Wallet featured on afternoon commercials. While the Magic Wallet may amuse your friends, it is hardly innovative enough to capture a mass audience. If the band Oh My God – who is fresh to this fledgling Chicago scene – can conjure up any notions in their audience attributed with their name, the once innovative Chicago scene may see a rebirth. Oh My God comes to Stix at 10 p.m. this Friday night, there will be a $2 cover. Over the phone, Oh My God’s brainchild and keyboardist, Iguana, sounds like the type of character a fledgling music scene needs. His refusal to use his birth name implies a resonance to a wide and interested audience and his attitude is nothing but happy- go-lucky and confident. Confidence – if artists only would have more confidence. While living in New York City in 1994, Iguana struck up a con- versation with blues legend Junior Wells which led to touring with Wells for three years. Iguana moved to Chicago during that busy touring era.When it ended in ‘97, Iguana used his degree from the University of Pennsylvania to get a job as a copywriter for Playboy. He has lived in Chicago ever since – working while promoting his music career. An odd trio, Oh My God consists of Iguana on keyboards, Billy O’Neill singing vocals, and jazz-trained drummer Zach Nold holding down the beat until Oh My God can find a replacement for artistically incompatible drummer Patrick Marshall. Iguana describes Oh My God as a high energy pop art band. It’s a crazy mix of electronic power rock featuring singer O’Neill, playing bass guitar on only a few songs. The loss of drummer Patrick Marshall has been a small obsta- cle in comparison to the tragedy which plagued Oh My God’s founding moments.“I had just moved every piece of vintage equipment I had ever collected into their (Marshall, O’Neill) practice space, a massive fire broke out around two weeks later and burned everything we had,” Iguana said. Apparently, the movie “Backdraft” hadn’t prepared Iguana for the serious effort a building puts into a windy city fire.“I thought the place might be a little singed. But when I got to the space, I waded through 6 inches of water to find my Leslie (speaker) cab- inet at the end of the hall, tipped into the water and just literally melted,” Iguana said. If Chicago can build a second city, Oh My God can build a second band. Ironically, the building fire was what really bonded the band together.They managed to find similar equipment and started playing fairly big clubs from the get go.“With a very half-assed effort, we have gotten a lot of press and have been able to play in photos courtesy of www.ohmygodmusic.com the top clubs around the Midwest,” Iguana said. Iguana has admitted however, that he currently is putting more ’’’’’ see band, page 3b
