Amid chaos, confidence in Cubit remains BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Bill Cubit issued a rallying cry in his first press conference as interim head coach for the Illinois football team. As he spoke to the media, his words were more directed toward Illini nation and the five players standing in the room watching their new coach try to quell a whirlwind of emotions. His message was clear from the moment he took the lectern to when he was asked about staying past this season. “I love this place,” Cubit said. “I really do, from when I first got here — I love the people here, I love the student athletes, I love the fans and believe it or not, I love

(the media). I just like this place. And when you like something, you can be passionate about it. I have two rules, know what you want and love what you do. I love what I do.” As Cubit assumes a new role, he’ll be stepping out of his supporting role and into the spotlight of the hot seat. A self-described “mushroom,” when he’s working just on offense, Cubit will have to use these skills and call upon old ones as he takes over the entire team. At Illinois as offensive coordinator since 2013, Cubit has transformed the Illini offense. In his first year at Illinois, Cubit helped take the offense from 122nd to 71st. But he has also played head

coach twice before. His first stint was at Widener University from 1992-96 and then again from 2005-2012 at Western Michigan. He was out for morning breakfast with his wife when the call came Friday. “For me, it was a no brainer to go in there and take it over,” Cubit said. “And that’s what I’m going to do. I love these kids.” An abrupt halt to the morning was also felt among the players who were informed of the situation only hours before word was officially released. Players at the press conference expressed shock, but also confidence. “Coach Cubit is a well respected guy on our staff,” defensive lineman Mason

Monheim said. “Guys look up to him because he’s a straight shooter and he demands a lot. As players, that’s what you want, not all the time you might like it but at the end of the day, that’s what you want. You want someone that’s going to bring out the best in you and he does that.” Cubit said he hadn’t seen the preliminary report that prompted former head coach Tim Beckman’s firing, but the focus — as stated by Athletic Director Mike Thomas and President Timothy Killeen — is on the student athletes. “Whether it takes 16-80 hours it doesn’t really make a difference,” Cubit said. “When you understand about these student athletes, that they have one shot at

UIPD replaces Crime Alerts with Campus Safety Notices BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR

A new notification system, Campus Safety Notices, will replace the University of Illinois Police Department’s Crime Alerts and will be issued to everyone with an Illinois email address. The goal of the new system is to give the whole campus community the information, tools and resources needed to stay safe. The safety notices differ from Illini-Alerts in that the safety notices notify the communities about imminent threats to life, health or safety of the gen-

eral campus population. Safety notices serve to provide information during crime-related emergencies, according to UIPD Captain Tony Brown. “An Illini-Alert is considered an emergency notification where a Campus Safety Notice is considered a timely warning,� Brown said. “Illini-Alerts are issued for more than just crimes.� Brown also said the department has revised some of the language for the Campus Safety Notices to prevent causing confusion or panic about a crime within the community. “We want people to take

these seriously but we also don’t want to create the impression that crime is somehow out of control,� he said. “We send these out because we want people to have information that’s going to help them protect themselves and make themselves safer.� Campus Safety Notices may be issued for crimes such as murder, manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and arson. The decision to issue a Campus Safety Notice is made on a case-by-case basis, depending on when and where the incident occurred, when it

was reported, whether it presents a continuing risk to the campus community and the amount of information known by University police. The notices will be issued as quickly as possible based on when the crime was reported and how much information police receive from witnesses. University police are also working with area law enforcement agencies to issue Community Safety Notices for off-campus crimes that still pose a threat to the student population.

Board to approve background checks Wilson to be approved as interim chancellor BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

Wilson recommended as interim chancellor Barbara Wilson, the dean of LAS who has been serving as the acting chancellor for the Urbana campus, was formally recommended to serve as the interim chancellor at the Governance, Personnel, and Ethics committee meeting Thursday. “She is currently serving as acting chancellor of the Urbana campus, and, from personal experience I know she has been doing a wonderful job of that,” President Timothy Killeen said. Killeen also said Wilson has done a great job leading the Urbana campus through what he called “the complication that occurred most recently,” referring to Provost Ilesanmi Adesida’s resignation, which is effective Monday. “She has a wonderful record of scholarship, participation, and she is deeply rooted in the land grant

mission of this University,” Killeen said. Wilson, who joined the University faculty in 2000, was just appointed dean of LAS last year. She plans to appoint Brian Ross, professor in psychology, as her executive associate dean of the college to help with the day-to-day matters of running the college while she is in the chancellor’s office this year. Chairman P at r ick Fitzgerald said he and the rest of the board are familiar with Wilson and her work on campus. “This is a formality — not new business,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m delighted to have this moved to the full board for approval.” The board will vote on Wilson’s appointment on Sept. 3 at a meeting in Urbana.

UI hopeful to implement background check policy in October Many University admin-

istrators have questioned whether implementing employee background checks is the right move for the University, but Fitzgerald said he is confident a policy is necessary. “I think it’s important in a University where there are lots of different students, employees and faculty members that we do the best to make sure everyone is safe,” he said. Fitzgerald, a former prosecutor, went on to dispel the notion that a candidate’s potential criminal record would be an automatic bar to employment at the University. “One of the major societal problems we have is how we integrate people who have had a brush with the criminal justice system, particularly those who were incarcerated, back into society,” he said. “By adopting a policy with background checks, we are trying to make sure we are aware of all relevant information.” The University has debated adopting a background check policy for more than two years, said Maureen Parks, executive director and associate vice presi-

dent for human resources. The background check policy, which the University hopes to launch on Oct. 5, would require all faculty members, specialized faculty, staff members, medical residents and civil service employees to receive a background check. Undergraduate and graduate student employees, fellows, volunteers, individuals appointed to non-paid positions and contractors are excluded from the policy. Parks said she is hopeful the background check policy won’t slow down campus hiring. “We can make someone a conditional offer of hire, subject to the completion of a background check,” Parks said. “If someone refuses to have a background check or whose criminal record cre ates u nacceptable risk, after review, we can rescind that offer.” Parks said “unacceptable risk” is subjective to each case. “If a background check results in a hit, an individual assessment will be conducted,” Parks said. “Just because someone has a conviction doesn’t mean they are automatically exclud-

did not accept Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s initial letter of resignation. As chancellor, Wilson serves as the chief executive officer for the campus and is responsible for leading the faculty, staff and students.

Acting Chancellor Barbara Wilson’s title cannot be changed until officially approved by the Board of Trustees at the Sept. 3 meeting. Wilson was not able to be named interim chancellor at the Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 12 because the board

ed from employment at the University.” The standard background check, she said, will check the nationwide criminal database, a candidate’s social security number and the sex offender registry. Parks said the University will check as far back into a person’s history as possible. She said only final candidates for a job position will receive a background check. Checks will be made after a job offer has been accepted by the candidate. Parks said the average cost is $45 for each background check. The Univer-

sity hired 4,073 employees last year, which would have totaled $183,285 in background checks. “The number could go up or it could go down,” Parks said. “If specialized checks are required, it could go up.” Fitzgerald praised Parks for her hard work on the project and recommended a swift adoption of the policy. “We want to move this forward, but to entertain any suggestions,” he said. “It’s important we get a policy in place and have it up and running by Oct. 5.”

UI engineering program ranked No. 4 in the world BY FATIMA FARHA ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

One of the largest engineering colleges in the nation, the College of Engineering here at the University is also one of the best. In the past few years, it has made it to the list of top 10 engineering schools in the nation, according to the college’s website. Recently, it was recognized as number four on the list of top 25 engineering schools in the world, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities. “I think it’s wonderful to be able to see an institution be recognized the way it has, the way it should be,” said Stephen Boppart, professor of bioengineering. “I think that this is a very special place. I think the people here, the faculty and the staff, the students, really have the goals to change the world and make our lives for the better.” Boppart, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Engineering at the University, said he believes this program is unique because of how collaborative and collegial it is. He said the ability of the various schools within the college to collaborate, not just with the other engineering programs but also other departments in other colleges, gives the engineers here an advantage over others. “While we have different departments and different colleges, we have very low boundaries,” Boppart said. Boppart said collaborations that take place between faculty and students from different departments is not only the reason why engineering is such a high quality program, but also the reason why many initiatives have been made possible throughout the years. Rohit Bhargava, professor of bioengineering, said such collaborative efforts, where different disciplines can come together to make an idea even better, made the newly established College of Medicine a reality. This new addition to the University’s graduate programs will combine engineering and medicine for a new direction in the study of medicine. “We have reached a point where doing health care without engineering approaches is unsustainable going forward,” Bhargava said. “It’s both a challenge for engineering to handle something that complex. It’s also something that is absolutely needed in medicine for us to have good medical care in the future.” Andrew Bower, graduate student in electrical and computer engineering, said opportunities to work with stu-

dents from other departments provides different perspectives on the various research and initiatives taking place. “I see a lot of individual, one on one interaction that I never thought I would see at such a large institution,” Bower said. “This is a big reason why I knew this was such a great program when I got here, it’s because of all the amount of devotion and time and effort for the students.” Joanne Li, graduate student in bioengineering, said professors are open to many different kinds of ideas, and are always willing to listen to what students want to study. “You can have crazy ideas and likely you will find a professor here agreeing with you and saying, ‘Let’s try these crazy ideas,’” Li said. Spencer Norwick, freshman in mechanical engineering, said this ranking “speaks volumes in itself” and showed him that he made the right decision when he chose to attend the University. The professors, students, resources and facilities here, Norwick said, will give him an “unbelievable” experience. “Its status as such a prominent research university is going to draw more skilled and more experienced faculty,” he said. “So I will be taking classes under professors that people around the world did their research with and look up to.” Bill Bell, executive director for communications and marketing in the College of Engineering, said while the ranking is important and something the program is happy with, it really reflects just how much the students and faculty have worked to make it here today. Bell said the college’s large community gives it another advantage over other schools because it is able to produce more engineers and have more professors to educate and work with students. However, he said it also allows the students to work together and foster the collaborative community it is so well known for. “And with any of these rankings, I think the important thing to keep in mind is that we’re always very excited and happy to be featured on these lists,” Bell said. “But what it really reflects in the more important part is the success, the education and the experiences that are given to the students and the leadership that our faculty has in teaching and in research.”

MICHAEL KOVACEVIC TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina near Michael Kovacevic’s Point Cadet home in Biloxi, Miss. The peak of Lou Blomberg’s home can be seen wedged by a tree in Kovacevic’s yard.

Many Latinos who came for Katrina work stayed KAREN NELSON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Many hard-working Hispanics with skills in construction and roofing poured into the Gulf Coast for jobs after Katrina. They would sleep in their trucks in parking lots, in tents and on the bare ground because there were no rooms to rent. They helped tremendously in rebuilding the Coast. Their nail guns pounded from sun up to sun down, seven days a week in the early months. Without the Hispanic labor force, crawling out from under the debris would have taken considerably longer. These workers, many of the immigrants, were willing to endure conditions that many American workers might not have accepted. They came from large cities around the U.S. and from Texas, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and their home countries. They hailed from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and South and Central America. There are 21-plus Latin American countries or regions and today, each one of those is represented on the Gulf Coast. Many workers moved on. Early estimates from the His-

panic community were that South Mississippi’s Hispanic population tripled to 60,000 (a third of them living in the United States without documentation) and then settled closer to 30,000 in the years after the storm. Census figures list the numbers considerably lower, but there is much doubt that the Census can accurately estimate the somewhat elusive population. Those who stayed have taken root and the population is growing, no matter how you count it. When the construction jobs dried up, some opened businesses — landscaping, real estate, auto sales, churches and especially restaurants and groceries, so they could have authentic, native food. Those who sent for their families have changed the face of the Coast forever. Census data showed that between 2010 and 2013 in Harrison County, Miss., the Hispanic population increased by nearly 8 percent. In Hancock County, it was up 13.5 percent and the boost was largest in Jackson County with a 15.5 percent jump. In the Pascagoula-Gautier School District, the population of English learners more than doubled from 196 in 2005 to 463 in 2007.

In the following years, the district has seen a steady climb in enrollment that reached 708 this past school year, said Frank Catchings, director of federal programs for the district. While not all of these students are Hispanic, more than 90 percent of them are. The Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance, the Gulf Coast Latin American Association and El Pueblo stepped up to address the needs of the community, connecting new immigrants with local resources. The Diocese of Biloxi has Catholic churches that now offer Mass in Spanish at nine services from Pascagoula to Wiggins. This year, the diocese has ordained two new priests from Mexico, bringing the number of Hispanic priests to five. Rev. Paddy Mockler served after the storm at Our Lady of Fatima in Biloxi, where he saw the church attendance swell with Hispanics and then subside. Thirty percent of the 380 families at Sacred Heart in Pascagoula are now Hispanic. The church has a Spanish service on Saturdays and offers classes in English as a second language. It and other parishes have for years taken turns hosting the annual feast day and pageant for Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Juan Diego.

Peterson appointed as new director of bands BY WALBERT CASTILLO AND ALI BRABOY STAFF WRITER AND ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Since becoming the director of bands and professor of music at the University, Stephen Peterson said he has realized the University truly values the band program. “I feel a certain pressure and responsibility to make sure that continues in a positive way and continues to grow and keep it as vital as it has been,” Peterson said. Peterson’s appointment was effective Aug. 16. He was previously the director of bands for 17 years at Ithaca College. Peterson oversees all the concert and athletic bands, and he said he’s still get-

ting used to the idea. Even though he has had the same title before, he said the program was much smaller. He will conduct the Wind Symphony, the premiere ensemble of the University’s band program. Some of his responsibilities will include directing the graduate program in wind band conducting and teaching courses in advanced wind band rehearsal, literature and techniques. According to Peterson, what got him interested in coming to the University was its tradition in excellence. He said it is exciting, as well as challenging, to be the next person in line to work to make the program thrive. Jeremy Loui, former

band member and senior in Music, said he is thrilled to have Peterson as band director this year because “he brings a degree of credibility to the program.” “I believe the Illinois bands have been growing, and I believe Dr. Peterson will continue that growth this year,” Loui said. According to the Illinois Bands’ website, the University’s bands have more than 12,000 living alumni with degrees from every college on campus. The band program is one of the most historic and significant college band programs in the world. Lizah Doctor, alumna of the University band, said she hopes to see some additional changes to the

instruments the band members use and the A.A. Harding Band Building under the direction of Peterson. While the band may have made the decision to start utilizing silver instruments in different sections, Doctor said she would like to see the band, as a whole, transition to silver instruments, because the band still uses outdated instruments. Additionally, she said silver instruments are aesthetically pleasing. Since the A.A. Harding Band Building is the “central hub” for storage, learning and practicing, Doctor said she believes it is important for students to utilize a setting they feel comfortable in. Jeffrey Magee, professor

and director of the School of Music, said Peterson offers a mixture of exacting standards while also being down to earth. Magee said there were around several dozen applicants who applied for Peterson’s position. Although the final decision was up to Magee, he chose Peterson as per the committee’s recommendation. Magee said with the current faculty, there’s no limit to where the program could go. Peterson said this position is a nice capstone to what he called an incredible career, adding he has been incredibly lucky to have worked at these institutions. “I could have stayed

where I was and taught another few more years and retired, but I was up for one more big challenge. And I got one,” Peterson said.

llinois needs to find its next Dick Butkus or Red Grange with its next head coach. The program is yet again in a state of flux, and we aren’t surprised in the slightest. On Friday, Athletic Director Mike Thomas — whose days at the University may also be numbered — announced the dismissal of head football coach Tim Beckman. Thomas cited initial results from an ongoing, independent review by Chicago-based law firm Franczek Radelet, which concluded that Beckman discouraged reporting injuries and threatened to take away players’ scholarships. Beckman was a week away from starting his fourth season at the helm of the Illini and now he’s looking for a new job. An hour before his dismissal, he promoted the first game on Twitter. An hour after, he deleted his Twitter account. Illinois football hasn’t found much success in the last quarter century. The program has had six different coaches in that time, with a record of 121-

As the University prepares to find its next head football coach, there’s one fundamental thing The Daily Illini Editorial Board wants to remind them: Illinois football doesn’t just need a new coach, it needs a new face. Since Dick Butkus left the University in 1964, the program hasn’t had a notable figurehead to represent its ideals. And it has shown. Tim Beckman was never going to be the face of Illinois football. In the landscape of college football, Beckman could never live up to contemporaries like Nick Saban, Brian Kelly or Steve Spurrier. Beckman may have survived the process of elimination that was the 2012 coaching search, but his best season involved winning eight games with a MAC school. Even though it’s only been three days since Beckman’s dismissal, possible lists of his replacement are running rampant. Names like Western

The lectern at the press conference where the dismissal of head football coach Tim Beckman was discussed on Friday.

Michigan’s P.J. Fleck, former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano and University of Montana’s Bob Stitt have already been linked to the open position. Maybe interim head coach Bill Cubit will lead Illinois to the Rose Bowl. Maybe another young MAC coach is the next face of Illinois football. In his first few days as Illinois head coach, Cubit has shown he knows how to not be embarrassing, but if he wants the job long-term, he needs

to be more than that. He has more respect than Beckman, which is a start, but he needs to prove he can create an onfield legacy and his name must be fully absent from the results of the ongoing investigation. Put simply, we don’t know who the next coach will be. What we do know is that Illinois needs to establish a program of stability with a coach that this school can be proud of.

CLOSE THE BOOK ON TEXTBOOKS By this point in the year, everyone has dealt with those insane textbook prices, but for students at University of Maryland University College, textbooks are a thing of the past — the college is getting rid of textbooks next fall. Hey UI, want to take some notes and follow suit?

Devote as much time to your sleep schedule as your daily one EMMA GOODWIN OPINIONS EDITOR

S

ome people have the trifecta — Instagram, Twitter and Facebook — others are working through a show on Netflix or maybe you’re one of the few who catches up with The AV Club or gossip magazines. No matter what routine you subscribe to, we all have our own bedtime schedules — and frequently, they involve our phone or laptop screens. In this caffeine-driven paradise called college where Keurigs are almost as ubiquitous as microwaves, it seems like a constant, safe topic of conversation is how little sleep you got the night before. Getting eight hours is a novelty and makes you either a beacon of time management or a sloth. In fact, research at Brown University revealed that 73 percent of college students report sleep problems. College students are statistically one of the most sleep-deprived populations, even though our rigorous lifestyles make getting adequate amounts of sleep essential. Rather than getting used to five hours a night, we should be trying to help our body recover from not-great food and drink choices and too much mental exertion. The sad fact is, too much of our resting time is taken

in the form of social media checks before we go to bed. You lie down at 11:30 and don’t find yourself actually falling asleep until 1 a.m., after a few episodes of Scandal are accounted for. And while this is something we’ve probably all heard before, those eight hours are crucial, and those screens illuminating our rooms before bed are only hindering our chances at getting them. Even sitting here as a junior, I can honestly attest to the fact that following a sleep schedule is one of the most difficult things to do in college. There are so many variables that factor into it: how much homework you’ll have on a given night, what time your classes start each morning and when you have to wake up, if you go out the night before...the list goes on. And with all of our coveted technology in addition to these variables, getting any consistent amount of sleep seems to be implausible. But it’s time we put as much of an effort into our sleep schedules as we do the rest of our schedules. Adding a level of constancy and commitment to when we decide to catch some “Z’s� will leave us infinitely more recharged and prepared for the days and activities to come. To start to really commit ourselves to the amount of sleep we all desperately need, want and deserve, we have to start making small lifestyle changes.

For example, sources of light from phones and laptops charging, as well as from alarm clocks, can interfere with your brain’s ability to fully go into “sleep mode.� This is the same type of idea that makes technology in general so harmful before bed; the light your brain registers can block the hormone melatonin — the sole function of which is to make it easier to fall asleep. By turning these things off 30 minutes before we’re looking to go to bed, we can help our brain relax and catch more sleep, as well as better sleep. Lack of sleep has been shown to negatively affect students’ GPAs, as well. So even though it might seem like staying up all night studying is good for your future tests, it might be hurting your grades instead. Getting less sleep or getting restless sleep greatly affects the way we function throughout the day and can make it harder to focus in class — or as we’ve all experienced, make it harder to even act human, especially if we haven’t had coffee. It’s not feasible to continue the hectic lifestyles we try to maintain without giving back to our bodies, as well. But when we start winding down and letting our minds relax, we can get some of the R and R that is essential for surviving college.

ASPIRE meeting at the Mechanical Engineering Building on Wednesday. BY EMILY SCOTT STAFF WRITER

It’s like a scene in “Cinderella,” but not the one you’d expect. In the classic fairytale “Cinderella,” the princess has mice and birds to help make her morning routine run smoother. But what if there was a way to translate this concept into the real world with something that could help senior citizens complete daily tasks? Naira Hovakimyan, a professor in the mechanical science and engineering department, believes she has the answer with her research project called ASPIRE — Automation Supporting Prolonged Independent Residence for the Elderly. ASPIRE envisions creating robots and drones that can help senior citizens perform daily tasks, such as retrieving medications or maybe even watering the plants. The robots will be controlled by a program on a smartphone or a tablet. University researchers from a variety of departments are involved with ASPIRE, including Alex Kirlik from computer science, Dusan Stipanovic from industrial and enterprise systems engineering, Ranxiao Wang from psychology and Amy LaViers from mechanical science and engineering. They recently received a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation as a part of its National Robotics Initiative. Recently, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development found that senior citizens would prefer to stay in their homes longer. ASPIRE is responding to this population’s need. By providing flexibility, safety and usability — all at a reasonable price — assistive robots in the homes of senior citizens may just become the new norm. “The grandmas today would be scared, but if you develop it today for 20 years with my students, we do these experiments and get it to virtual reality,” Hovakimyan said. “By the time I’m retiring, I’d be happy to have a few of those in my home.” The key is in perfecting the human-robot interaction. Humans using the

Growing Older

ASPIRE aims to help today’s aging population perform daily tasks in their homes. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that there will be over 50 million persons aged 65 and over by 2020, and over 60 million by 2025. According to this same study, the old-age dependency ratio in the United States will be 28 percent by 2020 and 35 percent by 2030. Dependency ratios indicate “the potential burden of the dependent population, approximated

robots need to be able to trust them, and the robots need to be able to work functionally in a home. Hovakimyan said her research team must develop an algorithm that prevents the robots from colliding with each other or their human owners. “We want to figure out if a few things are moving around (and) how to make sure they never collide,” Hovakimyan said. “If you look at birds, they’re flying all the time, but they are never colliding.” Virtual reality may also be able to help with this problem. Thiago Marinho, a Ph.D. student in mechanical science and engineering, is working primarily with virtual reality experimentation within ASPIRE. He said he became interested with the project because he is interested in human-robot interactions. “Most people deal with robots that look like humans, but nobody has really thought of humans and robots when they are small, mobile, flying, dangerous things,” Marinho said. Moving forward, his idea is to build a virtual-reality environment and collect data from experiments. This data will then assist in the design of the robots. “My vision is to reprogram

by those under 18 years and those 65 years and over, on those in the working-age population.” According to the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry, about 20 percent of people 55 and older “experience some type of mental health concern.” The CDC reports that those 65 and older were more likely to say that they do not receive adequate social and emotional support than those aged 50 to 64.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Cancer researchers dream of the day they can force tumor cells to morph back to the normal cells they once were. Now, researchers on Mayo Clinic’s Florida campus have discovered a way to potentially reprogram cancer cells back to normalcy. The finding, published in Nature Cell Biology, represents “an unexpected new biology that provides the code, the software for turning off cancer,” said the study’s senior investigator, Panos Anastasiadis, chair of the Department of Cancer Biology on Mayo Clinic’s Florida campus. That code was unraveled by the discovery that adhesion proteins — the glue that keeps cells together — interact with the microprocessor, a key player in the production of molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs). The miRNAs orchestrate whole cellular programs by simultaneously regulating expression of a group of genes. The investigators found that when normal cells come in contact with each other, a specific subset of miRNAs suppresses genes that promote cell growth. However, when adhesion is disrupted

in cancer cells, these miRNAs are misregulated and cells grow out of control. The investigators showed, in laboratory experiments, that restoring the normal miRNA levels in cancer cells can reverse that aberrant cell growth. “The study brings together two so-far unrelated research fields — cell-to-cell adhesion and miRNA biology — to resolve a long-standing problem about the role of adhesion proteins in cell behavior that was baffling scientists,” said the study’s lead author Antonis Kourtidis, a research associate in Dr. Anastasiadis’ lab. “Most significantly, it uncovers a new strategy for cancer therapy,” he adds. That problem arose from conflicting reports about E-cadherin and p120 catenin — adhesion proteins that are essential for normal epithelial tissues to form, and which have long been considered to be tumor suppressors. “However, we and other researchers had found that this hypothesis didn’t seem to be true, since both E-cadherin and p120 are still present in tumor cells and required for their progression,” Anastasiadis said. “That led us to believe that these molecules have two faces — a good one, maintaining the normal behavior of

today’s technology to allow it inside our homes,” he said. Hovakimyan explained that senior citizens today would take time to warm up to this technology, similarly to the process through which smartphones became common in today’s society. “It will be entertaining … I mean, who had cell phones 20 years ago? Nobody,” Hovakimyan said. “Today, everybody has a few of those in their pockets. Drones are the next cell phone technology. Within the next 20 years, everyone will have a drone.” This mea ns that ASPIRE is not necessarily one-of-a-kind. “There will be a lot of other assistive technologies down the road doing certain tasks in a different way,” she said. “We are not going to be unique, we are not going to be different; We are going to have fun while developing it.” Overall, Hovakimyan said the main goal is to enjoy the process of developing this project. “My ultimate goal is to create a lot of fun in the lab, to engage a lot of students, to see them excited doing things … travel to conferences, make people talk and see if we can develop it.”

the cells, and a bad one that drives tumorigenesis.” Their theory turned out to be true, but what caused the behavior was still unknown. To answer this, the researchers studied a new protein called PLEKHA7, which associates with E-cadherin and p120 only at the top, or the “apical” part of normal polarized epithelial cells. The investigators discovered that PLEKHA7 maintains the normal state of the cells, by tethering the microprocessor to E-cadherin and p120. In this state, E-cadherin and p120 exert their good tumor suppressor sides. “We believe that loss of the apical PLEKHA7-microprocessor complex is an early and somewhat universal event in cancer,” he adds. “In the vast majority of human tumor samples we examined, this apical structure is absent, although E-cadherin and p120 are still present. This produces the equivalent of a speeding car that has a lot of gas and no brakes. “By administering the affected miRNAs in cancer cells to restore their normal levels, we should be able to re-establish the brakes and restore normal cell function,” Anastasiadis said. “Initial experiments in some aggressive types of cancer are indeed very promising.”

ight close friends. Four all-terrain vehicles. One unforgettable sunset in Santorini, Greece. For most people, this is just an iconic scene from a coming-of-age fi lm. But for Josh Seiter, a senior in Business, it was real life last semester. “It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience,� Seiter said. Seiter, who has studied abroad three times throughout his entire college career, travelled to Bath, England, last semester. There, he took classes on Mondays and Tuesdays but spent most of his time connecting with the world around him. In addition to studying in Bath, he also had the opportunity to visit 15 various countries and 40 different cities, all of which he believes contributed to a career-furthering experience. “I think every student should study abroad at least in some capacity,� Seiter said. “Having a global acumen is really important for any career.� Bo White, Illinois Abroad and Global Exchange director, also believes studying abroad makes a significant impact on a student’s professional objective. “It elevates your own profile,� White said. “It

says that you can adapt and work with people from different backgrounds, which truly helps you go where you want to go.� Therefore, in hopes of building a brighter career path for University students, the Illinois Abroad and Global Exchange office has collaborated with various colleges on campus to host the first Illinois Abroad Day. This Tuesday, students are invited to join this campus-wide event that aims to inform others of what it truly means to study abroad. With various study abroad advocates to speak with and workshops to attend, Illinois Abroad Day is filled with activities that expand the knowledge of those who participate. “What we hope students experience is to get accurate information that would take down the barriers that they think exist and make them believe that studying abroad is truly possible,� White said. Students are then invited to assemble for a keynote lecture by award-winning author Stacie Nevadomski Berdan, who will explain how to integrate studying abroad within a career path. �In a global economy, which you can instantly communicate with somebody anywhere in the world, we fi rmly believe that Illinois students need to learn how to navigate cultures, navigate new ideas and navigate new ways of thinking,� White said.

Michelle Saunders, junior in ACES, said that studying abroad not only furthers someone’s career aspirations, but enhances their own self-being. “It allows you to go out of your comfort zone and figure out who you are outside of your normal environment,� Saunders said. This past summer, she travelled to southern France, where she was able to take various agricultural classes and participate in an internship. She said that living with a host family and not being familiar with the French language allowed her to embrace the unique situation and acquaint herself with the culture. “I have always been kind of a shy person, but you can’t be shy going to a foreign country,� Saunders said, “Studying abroad has allowed me to gain a lot of self-confidence.� With over 400 options in over 60 different countries, the campus study abroad program allows students to customize their education and enrich their global awareness. “If you’re doing nothing then that is exactly what you will get when you are handed your diploma,� White said. “What we are offering students is a legitimate option for them to do something remarkable.�

Flaws’ hat trick gives her top spot

Fourty-eighth goal breaks Hurless’ record BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER

Typically after a goal is scored in soccer, the scoring team huddles around the scoring player in celebration. That was not the case for Jannelle Flaws

during the fi rst goal of the Illinois’s 3-1 victory against St. Louis on Sunday. After a perfectly executed two-on-one pass in the box during the 16th minute from Reagan Robishaw, Flaws netted her 48th career goal off the crossbar — the goal etched her name on top of Illinois’ career goal-scoring list. With a noticeably wide grin, Flaws immediately

jogged over to the Illinois bench and embraced Coach Rayfield after making history. After giving the two a brief moment, the hug was followed by the rest of her team swarming her in congratulations as the PA Announcer honored her achievement and the home crowd let out a roar. For Flaws it was a moment she said will always remember . “I kind of thought about

it, I didn’t really tell anyone because I didn’t want to make a big deal about it,� Flaws said about her hug with Rayfi eld. “It’s a huge moment and obviously I wanted to share it with the team, but I owe a lot of my success as a player to the coaches, and especially to Janet. Her belief in me, when I didn’t believe in myself, was a big motivator for me to get back on the field and start scoring

goals again.� However, after her special moment, it didn’t take long for Flaws to add some cushion to her newly acquired spot atop the alltime scoring list. She fi nished the fi rst half by completing a hat trick. Her second goal came in the 19th minute off an assist from Aliina Weykamp and her third was deflection off her head with her back to the goal

in the 25th minute from a pass from Hope D’Addario. While Flaws’ performance was the most recognizable, she wasn’t the only Illini to play well in the fi rst half. Goalkeeper Claire Wheatley shutout the Billikens with the help of a key clearance from Nicole Breece. The second half proved to be less dramatic than the

Athletic Director Mike Thomas addresses the media following the dismissal of head football coach Tim Beckman on Friday.

Players’ thoughts on season, not Beckman Seniors show support for Cubit, tout resiliency BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

Wes Lunt was sitting in class when he received a text message. There was a mandatory team meeting in the Illinois football locker room at 1 p.m. The quarterback stayed in his class for its remain-

ing 30 minutes, but different thoughts raced through his head. He couldn’t figure out what the subject of the meeting would be. He wondered if someone on the team had done something wrong, or maybe the team was going to be punished for something. When he fi nally arrived to the locker room, he found teammates talking, wondering what was about to happen. Then Athletic Director Mike Thomas entered the room and informed the players that head coach Tim Beckman had been fi red. The room was quiet and

players were confused. Different ranges of emotions fi lled the players, who play Kent State at Memorial Stadium in a week “It’s difficult,� Lunt said. “I think getting out there and practicing, that’s really going to set in that it happened and we’ll move on from there.� The players learned that offensive coordinator Bill Cubit would be the head coach for the season. Players split up into their position groups and listened to their coaches. Finally

— stood in fierce defense of Cubit and mostly declined to talk about anything beyond next week’s season opener against Kent State. But Thomas was gone. And more and more that seems to be the inevitable in Champaign. Far from a man of the people, Thomas is well-known as a savvy business-first athletic director who fundraises like a mad man. He has overseen expensive and expansive projects to better the Illini, both on the field and off. But maybe that hallway through which he raced away is a reflection of the likelihood that he knows his days here are numbered — which they definitely are, by the way — and that he knows his popularity is waning. Tim Beckman is a dope, and the highest paid public employee in the state. There’s no way around how stupid this story is. The investigation of mistreatment isn’t even over and Thomas already feels like Beckman needs to go. By most accounts, he deserved to be fired. Bill Cubit seems cut from a different cloth than Beckman. Is he Urban Meyer? Maybe not. But this football team’s on-field product is unlikely to negatively change. If anything, the players might be even more motivated than they were under Beckman. This is an underdog team now more than ever. And Thomas made them that way. Thomas answered the media’s questions during his portion of the press con-

Athletic Director fires Beckman to Âť Âťhis Âť save job Âť

F

ollowing Friday’s press conference about Tim Beckman’s dismissal, Mike Thomas seemed frozen in time. For a split second he looked like a painter admiring his model, Bill Cubit, at the lectern. Then he was gone. Just seconds after Cubit finished speaking, Thomas fled the upper level of Memorial Stadium, leaving his interim head coach and five football players to discuss his decision to fire Beckman. Cubit seemed almost jovial, excited to start his second stint as a head coach at a Division I program. He brushed off talk of investigations and spoke of his love for Illinois: the players, the fans, the alumni and the media. The players seemed more dazed and confused than their new head coach, but served up a valiant portion of “We’ve got this.� The usual faces — Monheim, Karras, Ferguson and Lunt

ference. He wasn’t necessarily running away from reporters, but he certainly wasn’t sticking around to schmooze. More and more, Thomas seems to be isolating himself. He’s becoming a human island, and whether it’s because of bad luck or incompetence or both, he just isn’t winning anyone over these days. Ironically, this football team is now tighter than ever — but Thomas has never seemed more disconnected from the student-athletes than he did on Friday. When asked why he didn’t know about Beckman’s misbehavior — he said he was “disgusted� by the preliminary Franczek Radelet report — he detailed the size and scope of the athletic department. He indirectly blamed his lack of knowledge on how big Illinois is. That’s the kind of thing a freshman says about feeling homesick. That’s not an answer I want from my school’s athletic director about allegations of player mistreatment. And for better or worse, Beckman was a great scapegoat for Thomas. He was always making mistakes, but in some ways, he provided cover for his athletic director. Cubit’s not likely to be that kind of coach. In those seconds following the press conference, perhaps Thomas revealed his true character: He’s running for his life.

Simpson decision may come soon after visit with Sneed ALEX ROUX Basketball columnist

W

hen Illini basketball targets Xavier Simpson and Xavier Sneed attended Friday night’s Illinois volleyball game, it was hard to tell that synchronous official visits were happening under the direction of basketball coach John Groce. Simpson took in the fi rst couple of sets with his

father and Illinois assistant coaches Dustin Ford and Paris Parham. Sneed was spotted hanging out at Huff Hall with Illini junior forward Malcolm Hill. The separate but simultaneous approach wasn’t an accident. It was by design. According to Simpson’s father Quincey, the rest of the weekend’s activities played out in similar fashion. “It was a double visit, but it didn’t feel like a double visit because (Sneed) and his fam-

ily were doing things separate from me and (my son),� Quincey said. “Which was great. We wouldn’t have had a problem if we did it together, but it was great the way they set it up, you know? We got all the attention we felt we needed.� Simpson and Sneed are both in the 2016 class, and both would be valuable pickups for Groce. But Simpson would fi ll a more immediate need at Illinois at the point guard position, while Sneed would join a roster already

stacked with wings who share his position. Quincey said he and his son left Champaign impressed. “It was exceptional,� Quincey said. “The coaching staff was very cool, very down to earth. The visit was nice, the campus was nice and the players were nice.� Groce and his staff seem to always receive high praise from recruits and their families, and their charm was turned up again over the weekend. “They all just seemed

genuine,� Quincey said of the staff. “They all seemed real. They were down to earth, just guys that I felt like we could talk to (about things) outside of basketball, you know? Just guys you can build a relationship with.� Simpson took his fi rst official visit to Iowa State last month and has a visit to Miami scheduled for Sept. 11, but his dad said future visits aren’t guaranteed. Instead, Simpson might make his college decision before any more schools have a chance to

get him on campus. “We’re going to make a decision pretty quick,� Quincey said. “When we get home (Sunday night) we’re going to talk and see what he’s thinking. We’ve got some other visits set up, but who knows, we may not (take them). Some of them may be cancelled. We’re not sure. But we are going to make a decision pretty soon. We did like Illinois a lot.�

Swimming, diving ready for tough 2015-2016 schedule BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER

The Illinois swimming and diving team announced its upcoming schedule for the 2015-16 season last week. The Illini face four Big Ten teams, with three of those contests taking place away from home — a tougher schedule than in years past. In 2014, Illinois’ lone away Big Ten meet was a 160-140 loss at Northwestern. Illinois will also travel to Florida, for the competitive Florida International meet. Illini head coach Sue Novitsky said the more challenging meets can contribute to her team’s growth. “Our coaching staff is really excited about the upcoming season and feel that this schedule will really test our team,” Novitsky said. “We’re looking forward to getting back in the water as a group, and can’t wait to pick up where we left off last year in terms of making so many revisions to the record book.”

New Illini aiming for immediate impact

Continuing academic excellence

There will be many unfamiliar faces in the ARC pool this year, as the Illini bring in nine new members this season. Novitsky recruited a trio of incoming freshmen, in addition to landing a pair of transfers over the spring. One of the transfers, sophomore Charli Wike, will get the chance to swim in her home state following a season with the UW-Milwaukee program. Wike is a native of Sterling, Ill. “Charli is a great addition to our breaststroke group.” Novitsky said in regards to her new recruit. “She had a strong freshman season at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and we are looking to build upon that success. Charli has the drive to work hard and continue to push herself to get stronger. She has a delightful personality and is a hard working student.”

In a field of 171 swimming and diving teams, the Illini tied for 35th place to earn 2015 spring scholar All-America team recognition from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. Novitsky was impressed by her squad’s ability to manage time in and out of the pool. “I am extremely proud of the team for earning scholar All-America recognition again for the Spring 2015 semester,” Novitsky said. “Once again, the team continued to put in effort in the classroom and show such great dedication with their academics.” Novitsky said her current roster will continue the academic success of Illinois. “As a group they are hard workers in the pool and in the classroom,” she said. “Their work ethic and individual personalities will be assets.”

“Jordyn did a great job the entire weekend of running an offense that was spread out like we needed it to be,” Birks said. “She got everyone involved.” Overall, the consensus amongst the team is that it is not quite where everybody expects it to be head-

ing into Big Ten play, but it is getting there. This early in the season, Hambly was much happier to see Illinois’ improvement over the course of the weekend above anything else. “I don’t really worry about sweeps,” he said. “I really just worry about how

in safe hands. “Absolutely,” Karras said when he was asked if he believed in Cubit as a head coach. “He’s been my unit leader for the past three years. He was a great head coach at Western (Michigan) and I think it will work out.” Illinois held their scheduled practice Friday evening. Players know that there is no time to sulk; they have less than seven days until they start the season. Thomas remarked how the players have shown their resiliency in the past. The Illini won their last two games of the 2014 regular season to qualify for a bowl game. Many fans and experts left them for dead after a bad performance in the team’s loss to Purdue in the middle of the season. When Monheim was asked what type of emotions he was feeling, he had a simple answer: He wants to play football. “It’s unfortunate about the time and what things happened, but we have a game in seven days.” Monheim said. “We started writing this story for this year a long time ago and we’re not going to let anything stop us.”

REACTION the entire team came back together and talked. Seniors Mason Monheim, Ted Karras, Josh Ferguson and Chris Boles led the way, but everyone on the team had a voice in the conversation. The Illini agreed it was time to change the team’s focus. They all agreed that they would face adversity, but they would fight for each other during the transition. Underclassmen spoke of playing for the seniors who spent four or five years working hard for a school that they loved. The players who spoke with the media after Thomas’ press conference reiterated their support of Cubit. The interim head coach spent time at nine different schools before he was hired as the offensive coordinator at Illinois in 2013. He was the head coach at Western Michigan from 2005 to 2012 and finished with a 51-47 record. Cubit has been a father figure to many of the players on the team. The interim head coach spoke of the love he feels for the University and his team when he spoke to the media, a statement that leaves the players knowing that they are

FLAWS first. St. Louis attempted to mount a comeback after Danielle Tolmais scored a goal in the 77th minute, but it was too little too late — Flaws and the Illini would not be denied. After the game Flaws was honored at midfield with the presentation of the ball that broke the record. Presenting Flaws with the ball was Tara Hurless, the previous record holder “I told her, ‘Finally, you beat the record. Congratulations,’” Hurless said of the interaction she had after giving her the ball. “I wouldn’t want to share (the moment) with anyone else but her.” When asked about Flaws’ record, Rayfield said she was proud of her sixth-year senior, particularly for her perseverance and particularly because of the rough stretch Illini athletics has been through in the last few months. “We certainly hope that gets as big of a spotlight as some of the things that maybe haven’t been as positive,” Rayfield said.
