Changing majors as they change their minds, college students use their experience to find out who they want to be.

BJ StacJ Smith Verge reporter

Students come from near and far in search of a college educarion. Bur some don'r realize they'll gain much more. Perhaps ir's the sense of freedom or the maturing in age as a few (or many) years fly by while srudents scare co discover what is irnponanc co chem and begin co receive the feeling of sdf-accomplishmenc. Robert Augustine, dean of che graduate school, believes some srudencs know what they want to focw on, but don't realize the different opportunities they arc given. With endless opporrunities, many srudents decide to change their major throughout their college career. ·scudents take that interest and rum it inco a passion: Augustine said. ·srudcnts discover how to maximize their strengths when they come to college." He said every department has many opporrunities to get involved. But srudcnts arc challenged wjch clifficulc decisions, and they may not gee co experience aU they want to in only a few years. "Campuses listen co students to provide many opportunities," Augustine said. "But ic's hard because students are under a lot of pressure co decide what they want co do with so many opportunities." With so many options available, it is common for a student co vary in their ideal career choice. "Most students change their major at least once," said Monica Zeigler, assistanc direccor of academic advising. She thinks mosc srudencs switch majors because chey arc nor aware ofwhat goes into the major of thac. particular career. "1 think it's healthy and don't wane students co stop changing majors," Zeigler said. "They need to test the waters for themselves."

The odds are not favorable. Facing the first Big Ten team in program history without its head coach Bob Spoo (above), the Panthers are motivated for this game and looking for respect. When Eastern runs out onto Memorial Stadium on Saturday, here are 3 reasons they might shock Champaign.

1. The underdog factor - Eastern has nothing to lose. If Illinois loses, they might as well start looking for a new football coach. Anything less than a 21-point win and fans around Champ-bana will be wishing for the John Mackovic days. And the Panthers' confidence level is so high, it won't be that easy for Zook's team. 2. The running game - Teams last year could focus on Eastern running back Vincent Webb Jr. But Saturday, both wide receivers, Micah Rucker and Ryan Voss, have 5 inches on Illini defensive backs. So if the rushing attack is able to gain control of the line of scrimmage, it'll open up the passing attack. 3. RallJing around Spoo- We don't know where Spoo will be at game time. But we know he'll be in the hearts and minds of his players. Spoo is a father figure to his players and a person they respect. What better way to honor their absent leader than to pull off a win against Illinois? Matt Daniels
