When the camps are here it is our duty as Eastern students to represent the school as upstanding as possible. Any issues with the young campers can be resolved in an adult manner and complaints should be registered with a regard and understanding that the kids are here to have fun. In this manner, Eastern students will represent our University as an upstanding fixture of illinois higher education. Most all the campers who will come to Eastern throughout this summer are motivated, high school-aged, Illinios residents and should be viewed as potential Eastern students. Throughout the past five years they have shown respect for us; so it is our job to show tolerance and return that respect throughout the summer.

Wednesday, June 19, 2002 7 NewsThe Daily Eastern News 2002 NIT will include Panthers Charleston — Eastern Illinois University’s men’s basketball Panthers have been invited to compete in the 16-team 2002 preseason National Invitation Tournament. EIU will play at Boise State on Monday, November 18 with the winner playing the Louisiana Tech- Florida winner at a site to be deter- mined on Thursday, Nov. 21. One of the 16 teams is Kansas, which reached the Final Four last year. Five other teams, Stanford, Xavier, Florida, Boston University, and Holy Cross also competed in the NCAA tournament last year. “Being invited to the preseason NIT will give our program some national media exposure,” said EIU coach Rick Samuels. “Our players are excited about the opportunity to compete in this prestigious tournament.” The Panthers played in Boise in the NCAA West Regional in 1992 losing a first round game to Indiana. “It’s a great arena to play basketball...the fans are right on top of the action,” said Samuels. Eastern is coming off a 15-16 season and tie for fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference at 7-9 last year. Two years ago the Panthers won the OVC tournament to advance to the NCAA Midwest Regional in Kansas City. The preseason NIT, the nation’s premier early season Tournament was originated in 1985 and throughout that time has provided In the Panthers first ever appearance in the Preseason National Invitation Tournament the team returns to the site of their 1992 NCAA Tournament loss many memorable college basketball to Bobby Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers. moments.
