Two assaults last week left one man facing criminal charges and campus police searching for another. Charges were filed against Francis Stapleton, a resident of Commonwealth Hall. Tuesday after a student reported she was grabbed from behind by a person she had been talking with outside the Campbell Building dur- ing a production of "The Merchant of Venice" on Oct. 1. Tom Lindquist, director of public safety, said it was tips from an Aug. 26 assault that led police to Stapleton. "We received a number of different tips from people and in following those up, we were able to link this individ- ual to the assault at the Campbell Building, even though we received the tip before the incident occurred," he said. "I can't go into any more detail, but il was an individual we received information about."

"Eastern Illinois is a football team that is capable of a lot of things," Head Coach Danny Hope said. The series between these two teams dates back to 1947, where they are knotted at 5-5, but Eastern Illinois has managed to win the last four contests. Last season, the Panthers edged Eastern by a 24-25 margin. Coming into this weekend's game, the Colonels will be play- ing with a great amount of momentum after picking up their first OVC win of the season last week over Samford.

Eastern Illinois comes into the game after suffering a tough loss to Southeast Missouri last week with a score of 30-17. The Colonels pick up Panthers' record dropped to 1-4 on the year and 0-1 in OVC play. The Colonel offense will be led by quarterback Matt Guice, first OVC win who has averaged 162 passing yards on the season. Guice has found the end zone by the air four times, and has managed to over Samford pick up two rushing touchdowns.
