To the Student Body, Faculty and Sta , Over the past twenty- ve years I can recall so much of what has taken place in my position as Head Football Coach at Eastern Illinois University. Memories keep ooding back as I reect on my life at this wonderful institution. It has been a fabulous time for me and my family. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the support you have displayed for me, my sta, and players throughout the years. We have tried our best to provide a program that is worthy of your support, interest, and trust. I hope we have accomplished that for you. Now the time has come to move on to the next chapter of my life’s story. As I do, I will always be reminded of the opportunity aorded me by the EIU community and I will be extremely grateful for what you have helped me to accomplish. For without that loyalty and encouragement it wouldn’t have been possible. In my retirement, I will continue to support EIU in any way possible. I owe you that much for what you have done for me. It has always been about team. You are a part of that team and I believe the future is bright because of your involvement.

CONCERT AB Budgets cut by 6 percent

By Rachel Rodgers Administration Editor

A combined amount of $33,273 was cut from the University Board, the Student Recreation Center and the student government at the Ap- portionment Board meeting on ursday. The UB cut $15,000 from its budget, taking funds from each of the eight committees. UB President Darius White, a senior a family consumer sciences major, said the hardest cut they had to make was in professional services, which is their programming. “We cut $800 so it was not very high at all but at the end of the day, we never want to take away from our professional services and the $800 really aects us,” White said. e largest cut the UB made was $2,000 out of scholarships, which is NATALIE FEDDER | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS how UB members are paid.
