Students can use their day off to give back to the community during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Monday. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a set of community service projects hosted annually with the goal of not only making a difference, but also honoring the legacy of Martin Lu- ther King Jr. Students can check in for the service day on Monday at 2:30 p.m. in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. Service projects, which will be taking place from 3 to 5 p.m., will all take place on campus, outside of a small group going to Standing Stone Donation Center. Crystal Brown, assistant director of the Office of Civic Engage- ment and Volunteerism, said there will be many projects for stu- SUBMITTED PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS dents to work on. 2017 MLK Jr. Day of Service volunteers make potted plants for seniors “Some of the projects that we will be working on this year in- at the University Ballroom. clude writing postcards to send to prospective Eastern students, making birthday cards and putting together birthday boxes for children at Big Brothers Big Sisters, putting recipe books together for the local food pantries, decorating flower pots for seniors, making ‘love bugs’ for children at St. Jude’s and making fleece blankets for children and families for One Stop Communi- ty Christmas,” Brown said.

We do not want to place blame or judge anyone; we just think that safety is something that is important to keep in mind, no matter what you are doing.

The Eastern men’s basketball team actually put together a strong night at the free throw line, shooting 72 percent, improving on its season average of 66 percent. But when Eastern needed the biggest free throw of the game, it did not get it. Senior Ray Crossland missed the first of two free throws with six seconds left in the game, where making both would have tied it. Senior Montell Goodwin said they have to focus more on free throws. The Panthers finished 18-25 from the line, but were 16-19 before Crossland’s miss. Tennessee State, instead, came away with a 69-65 win in the Pan- thers’ first OVC home game. The Panthers also had two un- forced turnovers with the game tied with just over one minute to go in the game and the Tigers took full advantage. Tennessee State grabbed the lead 65-63 off the second turn- over by senior Muusa Dama. “We have to be really, really sharp in how we run stuff, because we can’t run much,” coach Jay Spoon- hour said. “We have to execute things very well and if teams take us out of being able to execute it, we’re left with have to be able to make plays.” “That’s what this game was about,” Spoonhour said. “Having the ability to drive in and kick it, drive in and shoot it or drop it off JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS to a guy and finish and we didn’t do Senior Ray Crossland looks for a teammate to pass to during the first half of Thursday’s matchup with Tennessee State. a good enough job.” Neither side shot the ball partic- ularly well, as both shot below 40 Panthers’ uncomfortable.
