Greeks rep their letters FAMILY WEEKEND REO Speedwagon tickets on sale

By Samantha McDaniel Daily Editor

REO Speedwagon will be entertaining the attendants of the 2012 Family Weekend on Sept. 29. The Family Weekend Concert will take place at 8 p.m. on Sept. 29 in Lantz Arena. Ceci Brinker, the director of the Student Life Office, said the tickets went on sale to the public on Monday, but the parents have had the opportunity to pre-order tickets for about a month. “We try to give parents a little time to request their tickets,” Brinker said. Brinker said now that parents have had a little more than a month to request tickets, she thought it would be a good time to let the public purchase them. Brinker said there are 3,500 tickets overall for the concert. She said about half of those have been sold. “We are very optimistic that this show will be sold out,” Brinker said. Tickets are available for $27 over the phone or in person at the Ticket Office in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. The ticket office will accept cash, checks, Visa or MasterCard. Brinker said REO Speedwagon was MIRANDA PLOSS | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS picked for the concert after random surveys Members of Gamma Chi reveal their sorority affiliation during Sorority Bid Day Monday on the Library Quad while new pledge classes and of parents, students and faculty. current sorority members cheer them on.

Our country’s politi- cal and cultural landscape has forever been changed. That day spiraled out and formed a new era in American history. As students, our entire adult lives have likely been affected in some way by that day. It’s shaped who we are and our coming future. Many of us gained new anxieties or concerns for our safety we never had before. We watched the TV and looked to our parents trying to understand what was happening to our lives. For many of us, this was an event that caused us to lose an innocent view of the world. We’re not asking people to vastly change the way they act today. In fact act- ing as you normally would is a great way to honor the freedoms we still have. But it’s important to acknowledge how our lives were affected, to try and see how the events of a single day can change so much. Because forgetting all of that would be a mistake. Though we doubt the events of that day will be fading from anyone’s memories anytime soon, we think it’s important to continue reflecting on those events even as time moves on. Though there may not be as many memorials today or events in that day’s memory, it can still hold a place in our JOSHUA BRYANT | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS thoughts. It can still be a part of our lives.

WOMEN’S SOCCER Team prepares for conference schedule

By Dominic Renzetti Staff Reporter

The Eastern women’s soccer team was shutout for the third time this season on Sunday, falling to Northern Il- linois at Lakeside Field by a score of 1-0. With the loss, the Panthers drop to 2-5, recording their second win of the season the previous Friday against Evansville. The Panthers have just two more non-conference matches before opening up Ohio Valley Conference play. With OVC play on the horizon, Eastern head coach Summer Pera- la said after Sunday’s game, there are a few things she would like to see the Panthers improve on. “We definitely want to build on just combination in the attack, and create more opportunities on goal,” she said. “We don’t do really well with our shots on goal, so we’re hoping to change that in conference.” The Panthers have scored on just seven of their 59 shot attempts this season, with senior Kristin Germann leading the way with 14 shots and six shots on goal. Germann also leads the team in goals with three, all of which came in the team’s first win of the season against Cleveland State. As compared to the rest of the OVC, the Panthers are taking much fewer shots, ranked seventh out of 11 teams in shots taken.
