A physical error simply means you're not good enough. Too slow, too short, too weak. A mental error means you weren't thinking. It means you knew what you were supposed to do, but some mental lapse caused an error and yourself or your team was hurt because of it. It may seem strange to talk about errors with the Eastern football team sitting at 3-0 for the first time since 2001 and looking to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 1996 Saturday at Austin Peay, but it's the little er rors you can overcome against bad football reams that hurt you against good ones. Whether or not Austin Peay is a bad foot ball team is debatable, bur one thing is for sure, the Panthers have errors that need cor recting. Luckily for them, they're all mental errors.

Houses for student rental in Charleston tend to be the first to go, according to Melissa Daugh erty, property manager of Eastern Illinois Properties. She said students like the atmosphere of a house to themselves, especially when they have the room mates to fill them. Houses are typically rcnred early because of the enticement of having students the~r own space for entertaining and not worrying about neighbors, she said. Daugherty said the renting demand starts when the students begin the look for their houses. "EIP primarily has properties around EIU cam pus from University to 12th and from Polk to south of Carman area," Daugherty said. "Students who wish to sign a lease and need to find additional roommates should do it quickly before their friends sign other leases." Many students are looking right now, and have seen a house on the Web site (Eiprops.com) or have toured a house they want to stay in next year. room house is available to rent on 1Oth Street.

Pope is also the owner of The Dun geon. lhe Dungeon is located at 330 Van Buren A'tc. in Charleston and the building is attached directly to the side of Friends and Co. Pope said one of the main reasons he decided to bring in The Last Ve gas was the fact that Charleston doesn't get to see many bigger-named bands coming through the area. "I noticed that they {The Last Vegas) were playing a show in Champaign, so I decided to try and get a hold of them," Pope said. "They are a really big band right now and we don't get many of those in Charleston. They just got SUBMITTED PHOTO off a tour opening for Motley Crue and now they're on tour with Buckcher The Last Vegas toured with popular rock bands Buckcherry and Motley Crue as the opening act in their arena-sized concerts. ry, playing arenas, so it's a rare club appearance for them to be in town." Pope also played in a band called Swamp Ass with a couple of members ofThe Last Vegas. The Last Vegas guitarist, Johnny Wator, said the ex perience of playing a big arena tour with Motley Cruc is something they have always wanted to do. "We've played arenas before, but we never got the op portunity to play an arena tour," Wator said. "I feel that our kind of band really translates well to an arena level, so it was a really good way to spend rwo months." Other members ofThe Last Vegas include Chad Cher ry as vocalist, Adam Arling on guitar, Nathan Arling on drums and Danny Smash on bass. The current lineup of TLV has been together since 2005. In addition to touring with Motley Crue, The Last Vegas is currently signed to Motley Crue's bassist Nikki Sixx's label Eleven Seven music. Chad Cherry said the opportunity to work with Sixx on its major label debut "Whatever Gets You Off' was just about one of the best things that could happen to the band. "It was just about the best thing a fan of a band could ever have happen to them," Cherry said. "He (Sixx) works very quick and brings so many creative ideas to the table. It was just amazing to watch it all come together." Cherry also added that The Last Vegas is looking for ward to playing in Charleston and that the Eastern crowd should be prepared for an interesting evening. "Come out for some live, dangerous, Chicago-styled rock n' roll action." Cherry said." Clothing optional."
