These students will be at Eastern in the fall and we should show them everything Eastern has to offer early. It is important that students conduct ourselves according- ly then. Sure they might be younger, but Eastern is as much theirs for the amount of time they are here, as it is ours. Along with camps and orientation programs, Eastern is a host to many prominent figures throughout the summer, making it important for students to remain on their best conduct. The Lt. Gov. Corinne Wood, will be on campus giving a speech to the Illini Girls State. Also appearing at Girls State is Judy Fraser, a well respected television personality on WCIA. A few weeks from now, Eastern will host a well- known soccer coach, Tony DiCicco. Without these camps, Eastern would not have been visited by these prominent individuals. In order to maintain the quality reputation Eastern has, students must remain on good behavior all summer, because when it is least expected, students are being observed.
