STAFF WRITER

Academic Search Consultant James Appleberry brought a relaxed atmosphere to a crowd wanting to know more about the presidential search process. The meeting took place Thursday at the Effingham Room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Eastern will soon begin the search for its 11th president. Interim President Lou Hencken replaced Carol Surles in July of 2001 after Surles resigned for personal reasons. At the meeting, faculty and Charleston residents had a chance to talk freely about what they thought Eastern offers a presidential candidate and what criteria the next president should meet. Faculty members argued the next president should know how to manage money. “(The next president) should understand the need to raise money and to push for money from the legislature and private donors,” English professor David Radavich said. Faculty members also mentioned that they want the next president to have a strong relationship with the faculty and administration. “I think we need someone who has high academic standards and has teaching experiences,” English professor Anne Zahlan said. Zahlan added they don’t want someone who went straight to administration after graduating from college. During the meeting, the faculty, Appleberry and Charleston residents discussed what Eastern has to offer presidential candidates. “I think we have a high-quality, strong faculty and student interaction,” said Radavich. “The university is moving forward in a positive direction.” ‘03 enrollment excedes ‘02 record setting numbers Appleberry said that Academic Search Consultation Service was By Yvette Cozad the first higher education search STAFF WRITER press release stated. men, is another indication that EIU also increased, a press release stat- firm in the country.

To request that any or all of the directory information concerning him/her should not be released without prior approval, a student should appear in person prior to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 12, 2003, at the Records Office, 1220 Old Main, and make the request in writing on forms provided by the University.

Students who obtain a personal electronic mail account through the University should be aware that their name, student status, and e-mail “address” cannot be withheld from internet access.

PRIVACY ACT RIGHTS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

(1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University received a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. (Grade appeals are administered under separate University policy.) If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the requests for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. (3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, National Student Loan Clearinghouse, Credentials, Inc. or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

FOOTBALL Heading to Mizzou’ Eastern travels to Columbia, Mo., to take on Division I-A Missouri, who has pummeled last three Division I-AA opponents 125 to 40.

By Matthew Stevens ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Missouri Tigers will step on to the renovated field turf surface at Faurot Field Saturday and attempt to earn its first 3-0 start since 1981. The Tigers understand that standing in their way is the 19th ranked team in the country. Eastern is 19th in the I-AA poll and Missouri has beaten its last three lower division teams by a com- bined score of 125-40. Missouri is trying to make it two- for-two against the Land of Lincoln after defeating Illinois in the State Farm Shootout season opening game 22-15. The Tigers continue on a goal of four more straight wins and hopefully boast a 5-0 record when the 18th ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers come calling in Columbia, Mo. on Oct. 11. The Panthers are trying to erase the mysteries of the 2002 I-A disaster against Hawaii and Kansas State when Eastern was out of con- tention by the third quarter. Offense Eastern will go on the road for the first time this season and feel their best chance to pull off the upset is with experienced junior quarterback Andy Vincent behind center. Vincent was an efficient 15-of-21 for 160 yards and a touch- down in the season opening 27-0 win over California (Pa.). However, it seemed like handcuffs were placed on both he and backup quarterback Andrew Harris two weeks ago. “Once they get more experience in the system later in the season, I’ll feel comfortable opening up the offense more,” Eastern offensive coordinator John Carr said. To pull off this upset, Vincent will need to have the game of his career PHOTO COURTESY OF MISSOURI SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT and certainly remain calm while Missouri quarterback Brad Smith (12) leaps past the Illinois defense during the Tigers’ 22-15 opening weekend win over the Fighting Illini.
