Hello! I’m Angelica Cataldo and I’m currently the entertainment reporter and I am a junior journalism major with a minor in marketing. This is my first year on The Daily Eastern News, but I have been involved with journalism since my time at Huntley High School and at Elgin Community College. I was previously an A&E and Opinion Editor for The Huntley Voice, and the Editor-in-Chief of the Elgin Community College Observer. I’m hoping to continue to build my experience in journalistic writing and reach my goal to become a journalist in the Windy City. I’m a big fan of music and history, and I love Star Wars and comic books. You can follow me on Twitter @AngelicaCatald0 or e-mail me at: amcataldo@eiu.edu

ROTC hosted a leadership reaction course for the Men and Women’s tennis teams Monday night in the Lantz field house, where the two teams’ leadership skills were put to the test. Jack Robison, senior military science instructor briefed the two teams on their objectives and sent them on their way to participate in various team building exercises that tested their ability to lead one another. Those activities included things such as all but one member of the men’s tennis team to be blindfolded and directed to move their teammate across the field while he was on a body stretcher. The women’s tennis team participated in an activity where they were in a human knot and needed to unravel themselves. After every activity, the two teams were given after action reviews where members of ROTC analyze and critique the teams’ performance. “It’s a really fun experience,” Senior accounting major Kelly Iden said. “ It’s something we can apply both on and off the court.” Iden is on the women’s tennis team. These leadership courses are open to any organization on and off campus.
