Once again EIU has proven less intelligent than expected from a University. The policy for returning to campus this Thanksgiving break is that students may return to campus by 1:00 p.m. Sunday. In general circumstances who would want to return any earlier to this god forsaken town.
The problem here lies in the fact that Eastern Illinois will be hosting Southern Illinois for the first round of Division I-AA football playoffs on Saturday.
The school where faculty do nothing but complain about that lack of school spirit is the same school hosting a playoff football game where students aren't going to be able to attend.
I realize the playoffs come at a very untimely part of the school year and this is not Eastern's fault because policies have been set in place before football playoffs ever did, but Eastern should react and change their residence policy and send emails to all on-campus students.
I know if I lived in a dorm and wanted to watch the football game I would be livid. Guess it's a good thing that I don't live on campus anymore.

So you're saying they can all come crash at your place, right?
Haha... check this out... the first 1,000 students get in free with their Panther Card. Like they'd get a 1,000 students at a game anyway.
