Dan Nadler, the vice president for student af- fairs, addressed the senate at the meeting Wednes- day regarding the possible input of electronic bill- boards on campus. “There has been student interest in this for quite sometime,” Nadler said. Nadler spoke about the ongoing discussion to place electronic billboards on campus that has continued for the past four to ve years. Nadler said the eight potential billboards would be provided for the university free of charge. If the electronic billboards are finalized, the cost will be covered by national sponsorships in exchange for advertising space on the billboards.

FROM THE EASEL Now they can know that they fight for a country strong enough to accept diver- sity and reject bigotry. Adding into the mix that Illinois now recognizes civil unions, the acceptance of gays and gay rights may seem like a win- ning battle. It might even be argued that the tides of justice are shifting and we are at the turning point in American history where being gay is no longer taboo. In spite of this, gay people still live in fear in many countries around the world. Bigotry, torture and even execution are common.

Red-shirt senior Lorence Ricks is “questionable” for Saturday’s game, according to head coach Bob Spoo Tuesday. This is good news and bad news for the Panthers, who ll face a tough test on the road this weekend against Jacksonville State. The good news is that no bones are broken, which would have not only severely cut Ricks’ season, but put an even bigger hole in the Panther o ense and eliminate the team’s leading receiver. e bad news is “questionable” could mean any number of things. Red-shirt junior running back Jake Walker was listed as “questionable” for last week’s game and he played only one snap, rushing for no gain. Ricks is a threat not only at the wide receiver position, but also as a kick-returner. He is not a player the Panthers can a ord to be without. e Panthers are currently sitting in a 1-2 hole, so the team is looking to get back to the .500 mark.
