LAKE History of long-lost campus lake revealed

By Tim Deters Features Editor

Walking along the west side of campus past the Physical Sciences Building and McAfee Gym, passers- by will likely recognize no signs that both buildings now stand upon the bed of a long-lost lake. Lake Ahmoweenah experienced a short-lived and uncertain life as a prominent feature of Eastern’s campus, said Eastern archivist Robert Hillman. Before Eastern, then known as East- ern Illinois State Normal School, was established in 1895, a brickyard op- erated where the Physical Sciences Building now stands, Hillman said. A pit was dug where McAfee Gym now stands that was used to collect clay for making bricks. e pit was given new life in 1895 when Charleston won out against 12 other cities in Illinois to become the home of Eastern Illinois State Normal School. Hillman explained that a commit- tee was set up by the state to determine where the university would be located. One of the crucial elements that led to Charleston being chosen was the fact that the city guaranteed water to the university at a nominal rate of $5 for 50 years. As a result of having access to cheap water, the university transformed the clay pit into a thriving body of water by always keeping it filled, Hillman SUBMITTED PHOTO said.

Jarrod Scherle, the student executive vice president, is planning a voter registration drive in mid-to-late September to make sure as many Eastern students are registered as possible. This effort makes voting easier for students, and the editorial board applauds their actions. We agree with Scherle and believe students need to exercise their constitutional right to vote. However, students need to be educated about politics and make an educated decision when they stand at the election polls. The election is on Nov. 6, but now is the time to get to know politics and who is out there. As adults, we need to follow the television shows, newspapers and blogs to make sure we get both sides of the political debate. We should not be persuaded by manip- ulative advertisements about candidates or by the lucrative sound of their names. Instead of complaining after decisions are made, students should take some time out of their lives to make sure their vote counts. By voting, students can have an influ- JOSH BRYANT | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS ence in the political process and have more control over their futures.
