Brother Jed makes his comeback Students engage with provocative campus preacher

By Corryn Brock and Elizabeth Taylor . News Editor and Staff Reporter I@DEN_news

Condoms, counter-preaching and criticism. These were all topics of discussion in the ,Library Qiad Tuesday afternoon. Jed and Cindy Smock, campus preachers, re­ rumed to Eastern for their 47th year of preaching, and many students came to listen to, engage with and observe the Smocks. Many of the students who attended were visibly upsetwith the~ the Smocks were preaching. Christian Walls, a sophomore political science major, said he disagreed with the message from a fuith perspective. "As a Christian man and growing up in a very Christian and faith-based home, I just don't un­ derstand how he can sit here and preach this hate," Walls said. "As Christians, we're supposed to uplift people and pray for everybody."

In this editorial, we at The Daily &tern News are here to explain more. Journalists are allowed to have opinions, just not in news stories

Something we hear frequently, and something many journalists and reporters preach, is their mis­ sion statement to remain objective. Remaining 100 percent objective is impossible for any person. However, journalists do try to remain neutral. A journalist's mission is to get all sides to a story and re­ port on the facts. Journalists' biases and opinions have no plac.e in news stories. However, journalists for newspapers also publish opinion piec.es, such as columns and editorials. Any good news publication will publish opinion piec.es on a clearly labeled opinion page to avoid con­ fusion. We at The Daily Iiastem News publish the words "STAFF EDITORIAL" before the editorials we post online to help, too. A common misconception people have is that journalists shouldn't write opinion piec.es because it proves they have biases.

By JJ Bullock Editor-in-Chief I @bullockjj

In 2018 the Eastern football team's offense is what carried the team through a 3-8 slog of a season, pulling along a defensive unit that ranked second-to-last in the OVC in nearly every statistical category. The offense during that time ranked second in almost every category. In 2019, however, it appears as though the offense and defense have switched roles from a year ago and it will now be the defense that will carry Eastern through games. In three games this season, the offense, which was ever so daz­ zling a year ago, has scored just 13 points, including just three in the · team's most recent loss to Illinois State. The defense on the other hand , outside of a clunker against Indiana of the Big 10 conference, has been very good thus far. It allowed just 24 points to Chattanooga and 21 to Illinois State, and while those may not be wildly impressive numbers, it is important to keep in mind that the opposing offenses this season have been dealing with very short field KARINA DELGADO I THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS situations.
