By Analicia Haynes Managing Editor | @DEN_News

Eastern athletics is looking for a student to bear the weight of Billy the Panther on their shoulders for the 2016 to 2017 school year. Trevor Bittenbender, a graduate assistant in marketing and promotions at Lantz, is hold- ing interviews for the next mascot and said they are looking for someone who is not only outgoing, but can attend as many games as possible to pump up the fans. Bittenbender, who was the mascot for an in- ternship he took at Northwestern University last year, said when someone puts on the uniform they have to be as happy and energetic as possible. “It was definitely a rewarding experience,” Bittenbender said. “I respect people who do it a little bit more.” Bittenbender said he loved being the mascot and learned that the best thing for students who are interested in working in the sports industry is to start from the bottom and work their way up.

By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News

From a small, Chicago-based studio in Avondale to the Tarble Arts Center at Eastern, Erin Washington will have her artwork displayed in the exhibit “Ephemeros.” “Ephemeros,” is Greek for “temporary” or “lasting a short time,” which Washington said was the main theme of her work for this exhibit. The pieces displayed consist of slate burnished blackboards drawn and sketched on with white chalk. Michael Schuetz, assistant director and curator of the exhibit, had found and brought Washington’s work to the Tarble Arts Center. Washington graduated in 2005 from University of Colorado Boulder and continued her education at the the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2011, JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS she graduated with a master’s degree Erin Washington discusses ‘Ruin and Cosmic Dust’ artwork with director and curator, Michael Schuetz, and students. in Fine Arts in painting and drawing.

Nicole Kink Find a family in Greek life With sorority recruitment just around the corner, many students are faced with the decision of whether or not to go Greek during their time in college. Coming in my freshman year, the thought of sorority recruitment terrified me. I always had more guy friends, so making friends with an entire sorority full of girls seemed like a lot of drama. I know many girls struggle with this same decision, but it is important to know that there is no wrong choice. However, while making this decision, it is crucial to keep in mind the many misconceptions surrounding sorority life, most of which can be seen in television shows and movies. SIERRA FALK | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS When imagining “sorority life,” I immediately referred back to Legally Blonde and Greek.
