In the spirit of the fall season, many people enjoy doing fall activities such as walk- ing through corn mazes, baking and pumpkin picking. Luckily for Charleston and the rest of Central Illinois, all of these activities can be enjoyed at The Great Pumpkin Patch in Ar- thur. For Caleb and Lindsey Damery and their children Braylon and Lexie, of Mt. Zion, going to visit the pumpkin patch has quick- ly become a tradition for their family. “This will be our seventh year,” Lindsey Damery said. “We do the pumpkin patch every year and we always have to do the hay maze.” Although there are various attractions at the patch, Lindsey Damery said her family takes a particular liking to the pumpkins. “We pick out a pumpkin together every year,” Lindsey Damery said. “Last year we picked a 50 pounds pumpkin, which was fun because the kids get to scrape the gunk out.” The Damery family tradition is not sole- ly about picking pumpkins, but also creat- ing lasting memories. “We like getting their pictures taken by the same stuff every year, especially the pumpkin measuring chart, so we can see how much the kids have grown over the years,” she said.

By Cassie Buchman Staff Reporter | @DEN_News

“Nightmare on 7th Street” was a night full of passionate performanc- es, creative costumes and spooky videos Wednesday in the 7th Street Un- derground. The University Board main stage hosted the event. The decorations set the mood at the beginning of the night, with tables set with black tablecloths, filled with candy, flickering plastic candles, little jack-o-lantern baskets and spi- der rings. Tied to the table were long orange and round black balloons. Though there were a few technical difficulties, that didn’t stop the per- formers or the hosts. Before the per- formances began, there was popcorn being made and people giving out raffle tickets. The first performer of the night was Chelsea Ray, a sophomore communication studies major, reading an original poem called “The Struggle”. The poem explored themes such as the struggle of wondering how to pay for things, how life is tough, and most of all, how she refuses to give up. Ray also performed another poem entitled “Why the Pain.” After Ray’s poems, the hosts played a prank video showing an ac- tor wearing a Chucky costume and running out of a movie poster, chasing unsuspecting people waiting at a bus stop. The audience could be seen laughing and cheering as the people tried to get away. The video was followed by some Halloween trivia questions asked of BRITTANY BORTHWICK | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS the audience, such as the name of Chelsea Ray, sophomore public relations major, performing at 7th Street Underground in the Martin Luther King Junior University Union at "Nightmare" the uncle in the Addams family.

STAFF EDITORIAL Illinois needs a new, revamped tax code

When Ralph Maritire entered Buzzard Auditorium Monday, he shook up the way we think about tax policy by linking it to property tax and how test scores have determined who would succeed and who won’t. There’s no doubt about it. Illinois is in desperate need of a revamp, a reboot, a retooling to help diminish its financial woes. However, in the mad shuffle of pen- sions, deficits and loans, we forget that one of the base problems stems from our education system. Of course funding for education allows it to flourish a bit more, and maybe help more children reach their potential. We all know that. But what Illinois needs is a new look at how it approaches a decades old problem. When property tax is being used to fund schools, it seems only natural that high-income areas would produce high- er quality education facilities, while low- income areas produce lower-quality JOHN WARD | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS schools. But that’s clearly a problem. When students are not given the equal opportuni- ty to succeed, it impedes on the Ameri- can Dream, it impedes on basic rights, and A few meager letters aren’t worth the abuse should have a hard look taken at it.

Going up against the best statisti- cal defense in the Ohio Valley Con- ference, the Eastern football team made a statement in its 28-3 Home- coming win over Tennessee State. The game plan was simple for Eastern coach Kim Dameron. As long as the offense held in there long enough to score in the second half, the Panthers’ defense would cage in the Tigers. “We talked about it going in, if we didn’t allow them to run the ball, they were going to make some passing yards, but we felt like if we didn’t turn it over on offense and kind of it gave the game to our defense and let them go out and play that we’d have a good chance and that’s what hap- pened,” Dameron said. A Lane Clark 42-yard field goal, with 11:40 left in the third quarter was the only score the Tigers scratched out against Eastern on Sat- urday. While the Panthers offense wore down Tennessee State’s defense in the second half, rushing for 233 yards and two long touchdowns, Eastern’s defense only got stronger, putting points up as well.

By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports

The Eastern men’s soccer team remained winless on the road this year, as the Panthers fell to North- ern Kentucky 1-0 Wednesday night. Eastern dropped to 3-11-1 on the season, while Northern Ken- tucky improved to 4-8-4. Eastern and Northern Kentucky had almost identical stats after the first half. They each had five shots with two of them being on goal. Each goalkeeper had two saves in the first half. Eastern had the advantage in corner kicks 3-0 after 45 minutes. Things changed in the second half as Eastern only added four more shots, while only having one on goal. Northern Kentucky fired off 15 shots in the second half and had three on goal. Eastern was outshot by Northern Kentucky 20-9 and had eight shots on goal to Eastern’s three. Senior captain Jake Brillhart led Eastern with three shots and had one shot on goal. Seniors Chris Bo- swell and Will Butler each had two shots and a shot on goal. Eric Mc- Causland had just his second shot of the year that was blocked. Eastern head coach Mark Han- sen said he did not feel like the Panthers did what they wanted to do as a team. He said that they started to play like it when they went down a goal, but there defi- nitely was not a lack of effort from the team. Northern Kentucky’s Cian Mc- Donald scored the games only goal in the 61st minute with a header over the reach of Mike Novotny.
