By Jason Hardimon Staff Reporter

Of this year’s 10 finalists for Illinois Teacher of the Year, four are Eastern graduates. Connie Harling, class of 1977, teaches fourth graders at Witt Elementary School in the Hills- boro school district. Kevin Rutter, class of 1997, heads the acad- emy of finance at Carl Schurz High School in Chicago School District 299. Tim Schnoeker, class of 1987, is an industri- al technology/vocational education teacher at Coulterville High School. Melissa Sievers, class of 1989, is a special edu- cation teacher at Brussels High School. e Illinois State Board of Education’s 2009- 10 Illinois Teacher of the Year award will be pre- sented at the ose Who Excel banquet Satur- day at the Père Marquette Hotel in Peoria. For finalist Schoenker, the dream of being a teacher came at an early age. He said he had thought about becoming a teacher since the fifth grade, and ever since, he lives for the experience. “Hour by hour, period by period, year by year, there is a constant turnover of kids with KAROLINA STRACK|THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS new ideas and personalities,” Schnoeker said. “I Governor Pat Quinn stands in front of television cameras announcing his candidacy for governor in 2010 late Thursday evening at the Holiday get a thrill being in that kind of atmosphere.” Inn in Mattoon, Ill.

FROM THE EASEL But putting all entertainment uses for the Nook aside, I got to thinking. Is the Nook the way of the future? Just think about it. If Eastern required every student to get a Nook, it could put all of its text- books on it. Do you know how much lighter your back- pack would be? Students might not even need to carry a backpack around at all. And just imagine—no more long lines at Textbook Rental. You would never forget a book for class, if you had them all downloaded onto a Nook. Another advantage a Nook has for textbook use is that it allows students to highlight any sec- tion in any part of the book. e Nook is also useful because, although it runs on battery power, it can last for days, even weeks. If you are in the middle of reading some- thing and happen to turn the Nook off, it will keep your place so when you turn it back on you can continue without having to flip through pages. e only difficulty I see with Eastern using a Nook for textbooks is—would we still get the ILLUSTRATION BY DAVID THILL | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS low price of rented textbooks?

WOMEN’S SOCCER WEEKEND PREVIEW Conference matches key down the stretch

EKU, EIU fight for final spots in OVC tourney By Alex McNamee Staff Reporter

With just three matches remaining on the Eastern women’s soccer team’s regular season schedule, it’s must-win time for the Panthers in the Ohio Val- ley Conference. “Coming down to the end now, we’re trying to see who is going to get into the (OVC) Tournament and who isn’t,” senior forward Rachel Hamil- ton said. “We know that getting a win – three points instead of one – is bet- ter than getting a tie.” e Panthers (6-5-5, 2-1-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference) will enter Friday’s game at Eastern Kentucky, sitting in fifth place in the OVC standings. Their opponent, EKU (4-9-3, 1-2-3), is in seventh. “It’s a must win game for us, and it’s a must win game for EKU,” head coach Summer Perala said. With only six teams getting bids to the conference tournament this sea- son, the Panthers and the Colonels are on the edge of being either out or in. So, now more than ever, it’s im- portant to get a win, Perala said. “I think (the women) understand the importance of getting a win rather AMIR PRELLBERG | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS than going through and just getting a Eastern junior forward Kaitlin Sullivan kicks the ball away from a Tennessee Tech opponent during a match Oct. 16 at Lakeside Field. tie off of it,” Perala said. “ e last few games we’ve needed wins.” In its past three matches, the team the OVC. again!

Collin Whitchurch NCAA sanctions pose problems for OVC squad

When the Eastern football team travels to Jackson- ville, Ala., Saturday to take on Ohio Valley Confer- ence foe Jacksonville State, a lot will be at stake for the Panthers. A win puts them in the driver’s seat toward at least a share of the OVC Championship. A loss like- ly drops them behind two teams and puts a serious damper on their chances of winning the conference. But for the Gamecocks, none of that matters. Jacksonville State’s football team was banned from competing in postseason play or winning a league ti- tle this year because the NCAA ruled it had a histo- ry of having a low Academic Progress Rating (APR). NCAA rules state that a program must have at least a 925 APR score to avoid penalties, which according to a May 7 USA Today article, means 60 percent of the team graduates. Jacksonville State’s multiyear APR was 882, 43 ALYCIA ROCKEY | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS points below the minimum requirement, according Red-shirt junior running back Mon Williams is brought down by two Tennessee Tech defenders during Saturday’s victory at O’Brien Field.
