A different perspective of campus University Board releases concert costs

Figures for the first two University Board concerts were released Monday. By Avian Carrasquillo MANAGING EDITOR

The University Board released the costs for its first two concerts of the school year. UB Chair Joe Atamian confirmed O.A.R., Of a Revolution, would perform one show for $45,000, while Wayne Brady would perform two shows for $105,000. Atamian stressed that the fees released were that of the artists, and would not cover lighting, production and catering. “The offers went out at the end of the summer. They were pretty basic and nothing out of the ordinary,” he said. “We made an offer and they got back to us. The contracts were approved within a matter of weeks,” Atamian said. “O.A.R. was easy to work with,” Atamian added. Wayne Brady, who has gained a following from his work on the improv comedy show “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” and “The Wayne Brady Show,” will be performing at Eastern October 11. “The concert committee has gotten a lot of positive feedback about the acts we have lined up,” he said. “We felt we did a good job last year, but we received some criticism last year for bringing Counting Crows, a band that was more popular in the late ‘90s. “That’s why this year we DAILY EASTERN NEWS PHOTO BY STEPHEN HAAS went after a more up-and-coming band like O.A.R.” O.A.R. will perform Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Brent Furrow, senior speech communication major, communicates with air traffic control during a flight over Tickets for the concert will go on sale to students Saturday at noon at the Charleston Monday afternoon.

By Megan Jurinek STAFF WRITER

Many serious eating disorder cases go unnoticed on campus, and the counseling center developed a workshop to increase awareness. Lynette Drake, Health Services Director, said there are about a dozen extremely serious cases a year on campus that need medical attention. “Every year the students request this kind of program,” said Dr. Mark Kiel, a counselor at the counseling center. “The number of cases are up, and these disorders are more prevalent now.” Kiel is giving a lifeskills workshop Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. entitled “Eating Disorders:Health and College Students” in the Effingham Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. “There was a good deal of time put into this program,” Kiel said. Kiel got together with the lifeskills representatives who all request- ed this type of program in order to better the awareness of eating disorders. “Anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating are some of the main disorders discussed.” Although eating disorders are commonly associated with caucasian females, Kiel said male and minority female cases are on the rise. The event is open to the public and the coordinators recommend that students come if they have questions, concerns or are just curi- ous. The program pertains to disorders, but is mostly about improving health, said Kiel. “The main focus of this workshop is health,” Kiel said. Kiel said the goal of the presentation was not only to inform the public about the seriousness of eating disorders, but also to discuss healthy eating habits. Kiel said that the lifeskills representatives will be holding this workshop every year and invited any students interested to come. The next workshop is Sept. 17 and is entitled “Letting go of Perfectionism.”

NON SEQUITUR BY WILEY MILLER In his seven years as governor, O’Bannon, a moderate known for his grandfatherly charm, has forged alliances to reform education and try to improve the state’s economy. He coasted to an easy re-election in 2000, but his popularity began to slide in his second term as the economy faltered. He is barred by term limits from running again next year. The Indiana Constitution allows for a transfer of power from the governor to lieutenant governor if the governor is incapacitated. However, that requires a petition to be filed by the president pro tem of the Senate and the speaker of the House and a ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court. House Speaker Patrick Bauer said he and Sen. President Pro Tem Robert Garton were prepared to draft the necessary paperwork. The Supreme Court justices were being assembled. The governor’s chief of staff Tim Joyce met with BOONDOCKS BY AARON MCGRUDER O’Bannon staff members Monday. “He implored each of us to do the state’s business as usual, because that’s what the governor would want,” she said.

He was affable, he was engaged, active, alert, talked. We talked about mutual problems of Indiana and Illinois,” Thompson said. Indiana state Sen.

FOOTBALL Looking for weakness in Missouri’s ffense Roc Bellentoni’s defense faces tough challenge in the Big 12’s Tigers

By Matthew Stevens ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The objective for Eastern’s defense will be to resist playing an elaborate game of tag with Big 12 conference first-team quarterback Brad Smith. The success of the Missouri offense, which has the Tigers started on a two-game winning streak, revolves around the sophomore quarterback. “That offense is set up around that type of scrambling and stuff,” Eastern defensive coordinator Roc Bellantoni said. The 2002 Big 12 newcomer of the year leads the Tigers in rushing, passing and has accounted for 58 percent of the offense in Missouri’s opening wins over Illinois and Ball State. Smith is a double-threat quarterback capable of controlling a game with his arm, but most impor- tantly with his legs. In the home opener against Illinois, the Tigers were contained throughout the game until Smith’s final drive when he led the Tigers on a 13-play, 78- yard drive to beat the Fighting Illini 22-15. Smith con- tributed 59 total yards on that game-winning drive. However, medical concerns surround the Heisman candidate because of the concussion Smith suffered in the first half of the Tigers 35-7 win over Ball State. “I know he understands his responsibility to the team, but he also knows that he can make plays.” Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel said in Monday’s press conference. “There’s a fine line there between Senior linebacker Fred picking your moments to make the big play and Miller and the rest of when you should take the big hit.” Eastern’s defense is Eastern’s defense wishes the winning system was just stopping Smith, but the signal caller has ath- looking for ways to letes around him.
