Construction in the Doudna Fine Arts Center continues into the sum-mer as workers strive to complete the glass work that has been going on for some time.
Dwight Vaught, the assistant dean of Doudna, said the current con-struction is part of repair and update work for the glass that fell two years ago.
“What they’re doing is taking ev-ery frosted glass panel off the walls
of the theater and adhering a really strong, protective film to the back side,” he said. “Then, they’re putting the glass back up.”
Workers were not able to start the project sooner because of the school schedule and constant flow of traffic, so the project was started shortly af-ter school let out for the summer.
“Even if they did it during breaks, it really wasn’t going to give them enough time to get up there and take everything down,” he said.
The work began on May 13.

EIU Media Relations sent out an EIU News Alert Sunday announcing First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust clos-ing the branch located in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
William Weber, the vice president for business affairs, and Dan Nadler, the vice president for student affairs, sent out the news alert to let the cam-pus community know the on-campus ATMs will remain and all accounts through the banking system will con-tinue to be serviced at the university
and Lincoln Avenue addresses.In addition to the closing of the
on-campus location, all Panther Checking accounts will be convert-ed to First Mid Basic Checking ac-counts, which the alert said has al-most identical features to what Pan-ther Checking account holders cur-rently have.
According to the alert, First Mid customers will receive a letter in the mail explaining additional details.
Weber and Nadler said there are currently no plans for the space, but they will keep students informed as plans develop.

Staff Report@den_news
Reports of two funnel clouds in Coles County were declared unfound-ed by the Coles County Emergency Management Agency.
Dan Ensign, coordinator of the Coles County Emergency Man-agement Agency, said two reports came in Monday of funnel clouds forming. One was reported as be-ing seen near Route 45, just south of Mattoon. The other report came in from as being seen near Walmart in
Charleston.“With what’s been going on in the
world with tornadoes, people are re-porting more,” Ensign said.
Ensign said last year people did not report tornado signs as frequent-ly and even though some may not rec-ognize whether it is or is not a torna-do they see, it is good they are look-ing for them.
The National Weather Service has Coles County under a severe thunder-storm watch, and Ensign said there should be clearer sky this coming weekend.

The funds students rely on to pay for their classes at Eastern are not so readily available during the summer session.
As of May 23, 3,591 students have enrolled in summer classes and of those, 32 percent (137 students) have been offered summer financial aid.
Jerry Donna, the director of finan-cial aid, said the financial aid office is still processing applications for sum-mer aid, so the number of students who will receive aid will most like-ly increase.
He said there are also many fac-tors contributing to the low number of students who receive aid.
During the regular academic school year, about 80 percent of stu-dents receive financial aid.
Donna said the same aid is avail-able in the summer as the regular school year, but it is reduced.
“It’s limited because we usually try to use all the financial aid during the regular school year,” he said. “We
don’t hold back a certain portion of the funds for summer.”
If students use their full eligibili-ty for the fall and spring semesters, they will not have any left for the summer session, Donna said.
“For us, summer is a trailer. It’s 12, 13 and then summer. It’s still part of that academic year,” he said. “However, if you were part-time in the fall, full-time in the spring, you would still have some dollars left for summer.”
Donna said if students plan to use only a portion of their loans during the regular school year, they may still have some loans left for summer.
Many students use their full eli-gibility of loans and grants because they are go full-time for both semes-ters, he said.
Donna said 20 percent of the aid for summer students is the unsubsi-dized loan Eastern offers.
Students also receive aid through private loans, a “parent” loan and the Access to Education Award.
“They’ve used their loans. They’ve used their Pell Grant. There’s basical-ly nothing left,” Donna said.
So far, he said they have awarded about $48,000 in Federal Pell Grant funds to students.
Last summer, they were able to award about $236,000 in Federal Pell Grant funds to students.
The difference being, Donna said, is that the federal government used to award “Year Round Pell.”
“For last summer and the summer prior, we could actually award an-other Pell award for a student who actually used their full eligibility in the regular academic year,” he said. “The federal government said, ‘Oh, we want students to be able to go to school year round and complete ear-lier so we will offer them more Pell Grant during the summer.”
This summer, the federal govern-ment took the Pell Grant away for the summer because it was too ex-pensive, Donna said.
“It was a wonderful thing for stu-dents but the federal government couldn’t afford it,” he said.
The IL Monetary Award Program Grant funds are not available during the summer either, Donna said.

A few Student Senate members will be meeting over the summer to get a head start on projects for the fall semester.
Jesse Green, who will be the Stu-dent Senate speaker for fall, said a committee of three members and the members of the executive board will be recruiting and planning the
events for the first weeks of the fall semester.
“Primarily, we are going to be working on preparing for the up-coming year and getting a head start, so we can hit the ground run-ning come next year,” Green said.
Green said one of the Student Senate member’s main focuses is to have a presence at a majority of the Debut days and open houses during the summer.
The Student Senate will have a table where they can talk with the incoming students, he said.
“We have a couple student sena-tors that are going to be helping out that were freshmen last year,” Green said. “I think that will be a big help in reaching out to the incoming students.”
Hannah Edwards, the summer senate committee chairwoman, said they met Thursday and will have another meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday in the Student Activities Center in the Martin Luther King Jr. Univer-sity Union.
Edwards said they are in the pro-cess of updating the Student Senate brochure for their table by updated the descriptions for each committee and they will be comparing them with the bylaws to make sure they are correct.
“I don’t know how old the bro-chure is, but it is pretty old, so we are updating the committee descrip-tions,” Edwards said.
For the fall, they will recruit to fill the open Student Senate seats for the semester, Green said.
They will give out the brochure and will have applications available for any students who want to apply for an open spot, he said.
Edwards said they will be work-ing on different projects starting in June.
Edwards said the descriptions have to be updated so anyone ap-plying for a fall position will know what committees are responsible for.
The executive board will also be meeting three times over the sum-mer to plan the major events for the fall, like First Night and Panther-palooza.
“We are going to make sure to get all our plans basically set in stone this summer for the fall,” Green said.
Student Senate prepares for fall semesterc aMPuS | GoVerNMeNT

Editor’s Note: Student names have been changed to protect their identity.
A year ago, Alicia Neal had only one Facebook account, now she has two, which she regulates constantly through her email.
Neal, the director of bands at Eastern, created her second Face-book page a year ago during her po-sition as assistant director of bands and assistant director of athletic bands at the University of Minne-sota, after repeated attempts by her students to add her as a friend.
She would tell her students at the beginning of each semester that she does not friend students and then decided it would be beneficial to have a profile that was open to ev-eryone.
“One I keep open, I don’t block it from anyone,” Neal said.
This is the only form of social media Neal will add current, past or future students to.
She even uses this profile as a re-cruiting tool for potential students who want to talk about Eastern’s music program, she said.
The increasing swing to online communication makes Facebook a good way for potential students to meet professors or — in Neal’s case — the director of a band they may want to join.
Neal, who keeps track of what students post on her page, said she does not want things posted that could reflect badly on her, nor does she want to post things that would be questionable, which is why she separated the two into different pages.
“I know students will sometimes post things that I’ll hear that are questionable, and I’ll talk to the students,” Neal said.
Some things that are considered questionable would be discussions about colleagues, inappropriate top-ics like sex or drugs, and provoca-tive statements.
She said she has never had a problem with students posting questionable items on her page.
Her professional Facebook page is linked to her email, and she said
she checks everything that is posted. She said students tend to post
questionable material when they think their peers will be the only ones who see it.
But with the increasing use of so-cial media, professionals and stu-dents have to take more precau-tions because employers look at so-cial media sites to see what poten-tial employees have done.
Kali, an Eastern student, said she started regulating her social sites as
soon as she made them. “I’ve never put anything, like I
don’t use curse words, ever since I’ve gotten it,” Kali said.
When a picture gets posted, or she is tagged in a photo where she can potentially look bad, she un-tags herself and asks the person to remove the picture.
For example, Kali was tagged in a photo put up by her roommate showing Kali with alcohol in the background, and she said she asked to be removed from Facebook.
“She didn’t realize you could see the background because it was at a friend’s house, so she took that pic-ture down,” Kali said.
Kali said people should moder-ate what is put up or said on a Face-book profile.
With the knowledge that employ-ers and family members look at so-cial sites, Kali said she tries to keep her social media pages as clean as possible.
“My mom is on there, and she doesn’t want to see me doing any-thing bad,” Kali said. “I think it just looks trashy if you have a bunch of incriminating photos.”
Horror stories of people being fired or passed over for jobs are something that Kali thinks about when she looks at her pages.
She said she knows employers look at her social sites and if what they can see if incriminating, she will not get the job she wants.
While laws sometimes stop em-ployers from requiring social media passwords, no laws that stop em-ployers from checking social me-dia sites, she said—and she does not want any issues to arise.
“I’ve heard stories of a brides-maid at a wedding, she had a wine glass in her hand and she got fired because of that,” Kali said. “You are
representing your company.”Linda Moore, the director of Ca-
reer Services, said Facebook is not the way students should be commu-nicating with employers.
“It is like the wild, wild west on Facebook,” Moore said.
If students want to communicate with employers, they should be on sites like LinkedIn and other plat-forms that are made for that type of communication, she said.
Because employers do some types of f i l ter ing through Facebook, Moore said students should regulate what they post, but should also just simply make sure their privacy set-tings are set so only friends can view the page.
Students also have to be careful of what they post.
Neal said this is why she has two Facebook accounts for the two sides of her life and regulates the content of her pages.
All it takes is for someone to copy, share, like or tag a photo for it to be visible by more than person-al friends.
“Once you put something on the Internet, it is always out there and people can find it,” Neal said.

To combat the rising levels of pov-erty and hunger in Charleston, city members have paired with Student Community Service to create a gar-den that will grow fresh vegetables for the local pantry.
The Giving Garden, located be-hind the VFW Hall at 1821 20th St., will be growing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and zucchinis throughout the summer.
Rachel Fisher, the director of the Student Community Service Office, said there are opportunities for ev-eryone to help plant and harvest the crops.
“This is a dynamic opportunity as we all work together to ensure that ev-eryone will receive the enjoyment of fresh produce,” Fisher said.
The Giving Garden received its name from the old idea of a commu-nity garden.
“It is the community rallying to support itself, so the Giving Garden is
there to give back to the community that it is a part of,” Fisher said.
The project started two years ago in a testing phase on small plots of land that grew 80 lbs. last year.
The pilot phases allowed the main volunteers to learn the techniques re-quired to grow the produce.
“We were looking at the rates of poverty and hunger in our commu-nity and having real discussion about the opportunity for everyone in our community to have fresh produce —if it was of interest to them,” Fisher said.
After talking with the food pantry showed interest, Fisher told some city members.
The Charleston Park and Recre-ation Department donated the land for the plot.
The other supplies from the tools to seeds were donated by private cit-izens and different businesses around Charleston.
The plot will be 20 ft. by 20 ft. “Our goal is that as we get through
this summer and we move into the
fall, we will start to transition and start to make this a year-round gar-den,” Fisher said. “There is a possibili-ty of some miniature green house and some other options.”
Along with the goal to make the garden year-round, she said they hope to harvest 500 lbs. of vegetables this year.
Fisher said in the future they hope to make the garden an education-al opportunity as well, by offering in-formation about learning to plant gar-dens.
Fisher said she hopes the garden will be started over the weekend.
People can volunteer to help with the garden by contacting the Student Community Service Office at 581-3967 or [email protected].
“It really is a community response to hunger,” Fisher said.

“The biggest piece that people count on – the loans, the Pell, the MAP – they’re not available really,” he said.
Eastern has also been able to award about $28,000 in Access to Education Award money to stu-dents.
Donna said the award is like a grant or scholarship in that it does not need to be paid back, and it is need based.
“We actually had some left over from the regular academic year,” he said.
In all, students were given about $547,000 for summer a id — $356,000 less than last summer, Donna said.
He said the reason it has de-creased is because there has been no additional Pell Grant funds coming in and summer enrollment is down.
“Which comes first, the chick-en or the egg?” Donna said. “Was it financial aid making people not enroll or they’re not enrolling so we’re not giving out financial aid?”
Students are also able to do fed-eral work-study and work through regular student employment dur-ing the summer session.
Donna said more than 2,000
students are doing federal work-study for the summer.
He said students need to re-member that if they want to be el-igible for loans, grants or work-study, they must fill out the sum-mer financial aid application. The deadline to turn in the application is June 17.
There are also scholarships avail-able during the fall and spring se-mesters that can lighten the bur-den of bills during the summer, Donna said.
He said students must be taking at least six credit hours to be eligi-ble for loans.
Donna said for many students, it might be more beneficial to them to just work during summer because they may not be eligible for aid and they can make more money.
“Working during the summer is a great way to get more mon-ey even if you aren’t in summer school,” he said. “Go home and work at whatever and make as much money as you can, and come back to school and that can help you.”

Vaught said the film will protect the glass from doing any damage if it falls again.
“If another panel were to break, it would just adhere to that film,” he said. “The film they’re using is a film commonly used in bomb blasts and really heavy applica-tions to make sure you can’t break through glass.”
The deadline for the completion of the project is June 20.
“We’ve given them a five-week deadline from the time they start-ed,” he said.
After the glass work is complet-
ed, the “glass canyon” will be re-opened, and people will not have to walk outside to get from one part of the building to the other.
“We’re really happy it’s getting done,” Vaught said.
Other construction in Doud-na over the summer includes chill-er replacement work on the south side of the building.
“That’s something that’s just housed here in Doudna ,” he said. “It’s for a larger portion of the campus, and they’re just do-ing some regular, routine mainte-nance.”

Gov. Pat Quinn needs to sign House Bill 001 into law.
He has yet to take action on this bill, also known as Compassionate Use of Medical Can-nabis Pilot Program Act, and now it sits on his desk.
Quinn has remained ambiguous throughout the legislative process concerning medical mar-ijuana only saying he is “open-minded” on the subject.
This sounds like classic politicking to me, not saying that he is for or against the idea. I won-der why he has yet to commit one way or the other.
Is he actually against it, and hoping that he can let it sit on his desk until the legislature goes into recess and let it die on his, or then veto it, in either case starting the process over.
I’m sure this is his plan, because if he were in fact in favor of this measure, he would have al-ready signed the bill.
I don’t understand what the problem is. We aren’t talking about recreational use — we are talking about giving patients relief from debil-itating pain.
For those who are unaware of what this bill
is, it is the most restrictive medical marijuana bill in America — little shock there.
It is a pilot program set to sunset in four years, meaning that if it isn’t renewed at this time, it will expire. If it is signed in to law it will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014.
It allows for patients to be prescribed mari-juana by a physician with who the patient al-ready has an established relationship.
The law allows for the possession of 2.5 ounces of marijuana every 14 days for those who have been prescribed it, and doesn’t allow the patient to grow their own at home.
The law allows for 60 licensed state dispensa-ries and 22 licensed cultivation centers.
I know what you’re saying: “marijuana is fed-erally illegal.”
The language of the law correctly points out, “States are not required to enforce federal law or prosecute people for engaging in activities pro-hibited by federal law.”
And yes, federal law also needs to be re-formed to allow for medical marijuana, but that’s another fight.
The law also points out that 99 of 100 arrests are at the state and not federal level, and these numbers come from the Federal Bureau of In-vestigation’s Uniform Crime Reports and Com-pendium of Federal Justice Statistics.
So, it seems to me that part of the aim of this law is to ease the congestion in the courts and penitentiary system, freeing up resources for greater threats to public safety.
With all that being said, there are people with debilitating health problems in this country who depend on marijuana to live normal lives, and pharmaceuticals either don’t work or case further problems, and all they are asking for is compassion.

Be cautious of changing weather, possible tornadoes
The severe weather seen throughout the country with tornadoes in Oklahoma Nebraska, and other parts of the country has people more conscious of severe weather.
The two unfounded reports of fun-nel clouds forming in Coles County clearly show that residents are paying more atten-tion to severe weather conditions.
With that in mind, we at The Daily Eastern News would like to talk about planning for the possibility of a tornado.
According to redcross.org, during any storm people should listen to their local news or a NOAA Weather Radio in order to stay informed about watches and warnings about the storm.
People should also be aware of their community’s warning system. As each community has its own way of warning residents about tornadoes, residents should be aware of how their warnings go out.
In Charleston, there is an Outdoor Warning Siren System set up in order to alert residents of approaching tornadoes, major emergencies, or the possible threat of an attack on the United States.
If the alarm is heard, residents should have a safe room designated for people to go to in the case of an emergency. The room should be a base-ment, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor that has no
windows. The Red Cross advises everyone to practice
periodic tornado drills so everyone knows what to do if a tornado is impending.
People should also remember to remove dead or dying limbs from trees to avoid having strong winds throw those limbs at properties or oth-er people.
All other objects that could be lifted by tornado winds (trash cans, hanging plants, lawn mowers, ect.) should also be secured so they do not become projectiles.
Everyone should also be aware of the telltale signs of tornadoes. They are heralded by dark (often green) clouds, a funnel cloud, or an isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm — known as a wall cloud. Other signs are large hail and a loud roaring noise.
If you are caught outside of a building or storm cellar, the Red Cross advises people to find shelter in their car. Once in the car people should cover their head with their hands, or if possible a blanket, and keep their head below window level.

HERE’S WHAT YOU SAID
Eh. Sad to see them go, but not heartbroken. I liked the atmosphere more than the food. Just my opinion though.
James Calderon
Kind of sad to seem them go, owner seemed pretty cool and I liked a lot of the burgers they had there. While I am not longer a student they were one of my favorite places to eat. To me it is a sign that students need to do more exploring of all the great places to eat, rather than just eating at the places they know.
That place lasted this long??!

In college soccer, the focus is less de-tail oriented but instead focuses on big ideas like efficient use of possession and the ability to move off the ball to find holes in the defense.
The Panthers can take a sheet out of their former coach’s book by searching for the players and tactics that will give them an edge in the areas which make a difference.
Finding players who have individ-ual skill is important but by searching for players that allow them to find suc-cess in the areas that are key to winning OVC soccer matches will be most valu-able to the ultimate success of the team.

@DEN_Sports tweet of the day: Mick Viken and Jade Riebold began their preparations Monday for the NCAA track and field national championships scheduled for June 5-8.
By Michael spencer@Den_Sports
Jade Riebold and Mick Viken are on familiar ground.
But they are also pretty familiar with the air too.
For the third straight year, the two athletes will compete at the NCAA national championships in the pole vault competition.
Eastern pole vault coach Kyle El-lis plans to hold a tough week of practice after tapering off the work-load last week ahead of the regional meet in Austin, Texas.
“We are going to try to squeeze as much training in as we can this week,” Ellis said.
Ellis said the Eastern athletes are going to have a last set of practices before easing into the practices on-location in Eugene, Ore., before the national meet.
Riebold and Viken are both go-ing to be at the meet for their third consecutive years. Both athletes are also Eastern transfer students.
Viken, a redshirt-junior and 2nd team All-American in 2012, knows that he is up against some tough competition next week.
“It’s probably going to take a per-sonal best for me to go All-Ameri-can again,” Viken said.
He enters the competition ranked 10th with a jump of 17.7 feet (5.40 meters). The top 11 pole vault competitors exited regional compe-tition at this height.
A jump of 18.8 feet (5.75 meters) was enough to win the NCAA na-tional title last year for Oral Rob-ert’s Jack Whitt who enters this year’s competition ranked fourth.
Viken suffered a hamstring injury at the Ohio Valley Conference meet and had not jumped before the re-gional competition on Saturday. Despite this setback, Viken said he feels sure it will not hold him back. It is a long season and Viken said he feels like injuries come with the territory of being a professional ath-lete.
“Everybody has little things. Ev-erybody is dealing with different things,” Viken said.
He said it is important to ap-proach a meet like this as he would any normal meet.
“I’m going to stick to the things that I know best,” Viken said.
Riebold, also a 2nd team All-American in 2012, made her final jump on Friday following a rain de-lay.
Her final jump put her at 13.5 feet (4.11 meters). The entire top 11 made jumps of that height as well.
She enters the national meet ranked seventh.
Riebold did not pract ice on Monday because she was suffering from an illness that appeared some time after the regional meet. The nature of the sickness was not dis-closed.
“We backed off going into re-gionals to get her body to feel bet-ter and to feel fresh,” Ellis said of Riebold.
Her sickness should not hinder her ability to compete at nationals.
An Eastern press release report-ed that junior Jalisa Paramore and senior Dominique Hall were both eliminated before the 100-meter semi-finals.
Sophomore Maura Cummins was eliminated in the high jump and finished 26th in the meet.
Sophomore David Johansson scratched from the competition on Monday night, finishing 48th in the javelin throw.
Freshman Calvin Edwards fin-ished 48th in the men’s 20-meter dash.
In the steeplechase, senior Brit-ney Whitehead finished 13th in her heat in a race which finished just af-
ter midnight on Sunday morning following rain delays.
The meet is scheduled to take place June 5-8 at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
The athletes will leave June 3rd.

staff report@Den_Sports
Sophomores Caleb Howell and Brant Valach, and freshman Jake Jo-hansmeier received All-Ohio Valley Conference baseball honors.
The post-season award recipients were announced by the OVC last Tues-day.
Meanwhile, Eastern announced that 16 Panther players will play in summer leagues before they return in the fall.
Howell earned OVC honors for the second time in a row after being chosen for the all-newcomer team as a fresh-man. The sophomore led the team with a .362 batting average and .377 in OVC play. His average placed the out-fielder at fifth in the OVC overall.
Howell also had an Eastern-best .442 on-base percentage.
For sophomore and former OVC rookie of the year Brant Valach, it was also his second consecutive year to re-ceive an all-OVC selection. Valach tied with teammate Howell at 64 hits to lead the Panthers.
Valach scored 34 times and sent four shots out of the park. Additionally, he hit 19 doubles to tie for sixth on the single-season list in Eastern history.
Johansmeier was selected for the All-OVC newcomer team.
The right-handed pitcher finished with a 3-4 record in 20 appearances for the Panthers.
He had 33 strikeouts and 21 in OVC play. He led the pitching staff for Eastern in ERA during OVC play with
a 3.27 average.Johansmeier came to Eastern last
year as one of the top 25 best players in the state of Illinois according to the Prep Baseball Report in 2012.
The OVC baseball Player of the Year was Craig Massoni, a junior first base-man for Austin Peay State University. Austin Peay also claimed the Pitcher of the Year award with senior Tyler Rogers.
Howell, Valach and Johansmeier will join 13 of their teammates in summer leagues this year.
Howell will play with the Gems in Quincy, Ill. while Valach will travel to Wisconsin to play with the Lakeshore Chinooks. Johansmeier will join the Dupage Hounds.
The Panthers will place three players in the Coastal Plains league this sum-mer. The CPL is a league that models itself off a professional experience us-ing wooden bats and pulling collegiate baseball players from around the coun-try.
Junior infielder Tyler Schweigert will travel to Southern California to play with the Southern California Catch in the California Collegiate league.
The CCL is comprised of eight teams and has placed several players in the major leagues since its inaugural season in 1994.
Coach Jim Schmitz said before East-ern’s final series with Tennessee-Martin that he was hoping to add some fire-power to his lineup for the future. The Panthers’ summer league placements are designed to improve that element of the team’s play.
Baseball players garner awards

Last season, for-mer Eastern soc-cer coach Schellas Hyndman’s Major League Soccer club missed the playoffs by four points and only managed to win nine matches over the course of a 34-match season.
It is a story that is not dissimilar to the fate of today’s Eastern soccer team.
Eastern coach Adam Howarth’s 3-13-1 Panthers struggled to score goals and only won once on the road.
The major league team FC Dallas only managed to win three times on the road in 14 matches.
However, this season, Hyndman has managed to steer FC Dallas into the lead of the Western Conference and is unbeaten at home this season.
FC Dallas recently defeated the 2012 Western Conference champions, the San Jose Earthquakes, 1-0.
The obvious question lies in how exactly a coach turns a team around in a single season.
How does a college coach influence a team in a way to facilitate such a dra-matic change in less than a year?
It takes a bit of luck, some shrewd player selection and tactics designed specifically to beat teams in areas key to winning collegiate soccer matches.
FC Dallas focused on the tactics that make a team successful in the MLS. They managed to find a line-up that could consistently pass the ball
up from the back and connect in the midfield. All the top teams in the league pos-sess this quality.
The LA Gal-axy, the Seat-t l e Sounder s , the New York
Red Bull, Sporting KC and other top MLS squads all have players that move off the ball well when their de-fense manages to win back posses-sion.
For Eastern, this is not as straight forward. It is not so easy to find great talent with a limited recruiting pool. However, a tactical change that focus-es on what is necessary to win in the OVC will allow the Panthers to find success at the collegiate level.
As far as a recruiting pool is con-cerned, Hyndman’s FC Dallas has in no way used a single talisman player to galvanize their attack.
Following U.S. international Brek Shea’s move to English Premier league team Stoke City, FC Dallas focused on capitalizing on set pieces. In the first eight matches of the season, FC Dal-las grabbed five goals from corners and free kicks.
The ability to convert on set pieces is essential to success at the top level of professional soccer where the ability to do the little things right is ultimately the difference between a winning and a losing season.
Eastern can learn from a former coach
