Had the CUPB not changed its most recent draft of the constitutional plan, honors students would have needed two foreign-language courses to graduate, and all stu- dents, regardless of their majors, would have needed some kind of extracurricular experience like an internship or a study-abroad program. This comes in light of last month’s moderate student uproar over the Career Services seminar, a 30-minute presentation/infomercial about Career Services that was initially proposed as a graduation requirement until the Student Senate voted in opposition to it. It illustrated that while students do not mind the advantages of such uni- versity programs, they take on a different, more bitter flavor when shoved down the collective throats of the student body. Thus, the CUPB made a good move for the students’ benefit, striking these objectives from the plan as graduation requirements, and agree- ing that the university should only encourage them. The objectives of the constitutional plan are worded in flowery, generic language that can be Weighing president’s senate rather than my own does not interpreted in numerous ways.

The Daily Eastern News Friday October 24,1997 3B Panthers set to run Governors out of O’Brien By CHAD MERDA Associate sports editor

Most football coaches would more than welcome the chance to play an 0-6 Austin Peay squad – unless you’re Panther head coach Bob Spoo. “It’s the kind of game that sends shivers down my back,” he said. “There’s a potential for relaxation and we just can’t let that happen. Austin Peay may not have the numbers, but they are playing hard.” Eastern enters the game 6-1 on the heels of a six-game winning streak, and ranked No. 9 in the Sports Network Division I-AA poll. They are coming off a 30- 17 win over Middle Tennessee while, after a bye week, the Gov- ernors are trying to recover from a 51-0 embarrassment at the hands of Murray State two weeks ago. “Some people have put a lot of points up against them,” Spoo said. An understatement, indeed, as Austin Peay has lost each game by an average score of 45-12. Take away the 43 points the SCOTT BEAUDRY/Staff photographer Governors put up in their season Junior tailback Justin Lynch runs for yardage against Middle Tennessee Oct. 18. The Panther team won the game 30-17 in front of a packed opening loss to Morehead State home stadium for Family Weekend. and it shifts to an average shel- lacking of 43-5 per contest.

The men’s soccer team sits in the No. 6 slot in the Missouri Valley Conference as it enters Friday’s game against conference foe Southwest Missouri State at 1 p.m. The Bears enter the game fourth in the MVC. So far this season, Southwest Missouri has posted a record of 7-3-3 over- all, 1-0-1 in conference. In their last game, the Bears handed the hapless Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky a 5-1 loss. “Overall, I think the guys seem to be com- petitive,” Bears head coach Jon Leamy said. “We’ve had some good results and we’ve had some games that we would like to change.” Last year, Southwest Missouri finished in third place in the MVC with a record of 3-2 in conference, 12-6 overall. When the two teams met last season, the Bears took a close one from Eastern 1-0. Both teams will finish the season with a streak of seven conference games. Leamy said he did not care if the last games of the season were all conference match ups or a mixture of conference and non-conference games.

The JB Smoove laughing stock of JJ Homecoming!

by lauren kraft Staff writer

he Black Student Union will present to Eastern students “Homecoming Laff Jam ’97 & Dance Party” Tat 8 p.m. tomorrow in the McAfee Gymnasium and at 10:30 p.m. in the University Ballroom, respectively. Laff Jam will feature four comedians with outstanding resumes: JB Smoove, “JJ” Williamson, Sheree Luckett and Leon Rogers. Music will be inter- twined with the comedy, thanks to DJ “Twilight Tone.” Tickets will be, for both events, $8 in advance with an ID and $10 for the general public. Separately, Laff Jam tickets are $7 and Dance Party tickets are $5. Tickets are on sale at the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union box office. Featured comedian “JJ” Williamson has performed in the Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam, Comic Escape and Showtime at the Apollo, just to name a few. Gus Sanford, CEO and president of Midcoast Entertainment, gives JJ the title of being “one of the hottest new comics around.” “He was one of the Def Comedy Jam All Stars this year,” Sanford said. Williamson will feature a little bit of improvisational comedy, but he mostly encourages the audience to “sit back and enjoy.” “If you miss me, you really missed it,” Williamson joked. JB Smoove, a comedian who hails from New York, prides himself on his ver- satility. “Who knows, I may even write a new set on the plane out there,” he said in a phone interview Wednesday. Sanford said, “You never know what will happen with JB
