ISS to discuss funds, donations and ideas BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER
Illinois Student Senate members will discuss fund allocation for the biannual Association of Big Ten Students Winter Conference, a gathering for student governors at Big Ten universities, at their meeting Wednesday. An ISS delegation of six senators will attend the conference at the Indiana University from Jan. 11-13. The student senate will discuss appropriating $823.90 for

Faculty and staff can now request weather alert radios for their buildings from the University police department. The University received a limited supply of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA , weather radios at the beginning of 2012. Since then, the police department has been trying to distribute the radios to campus facilities. Recently, however, the University police department decided to better utilize all of its available technology. Sherry Wooten, emergency planning coordinator, said they are now making it their goal to remind University departments of the resources that are available for campus facilities. “Our goal is to reach as many faculty members, students, staff and visitors as possible,” she said. Weather alert radios are allhazard radios which are connected to the NOAA national weather services, which provides weather data, forecasts and warnings to alert local and national communities of weather conditions. These radios continuously broadcast local weather forecasts as well as special alerts that might affect the area the radio is monitoring, such as tornado warnings or severe thunderstorm warnings, Wooten said. The radios were developed to warn people of approaching threats, no matter what the weather conditions are, said Lt. Steven Trame of UIPD. “The radios will even work during a power outage and will receive alerts on a special frequency from the National Weather Services if severe weather is approaching,” he said.

Police offer free weather radios to campus facilities BY KLAUDIA DUKALA
High: 46˚ Low: 32˚
The radios, which will be given out free, utilize Specific Area Message Encoding or SAME technology. This technology allows users to program the radio to monitor a specific county, instead of an entire state. “You wouldn’t necessarily want to hear a tornado warning issued for Iroquois County in Douglas County when the storm is tracking from southwest to northeast,” Wooten said. Areas that have a high concentration of students and staff, such as residence halls, sporting venues and campus recreation facilities, should be equipped with the radios in case of an emergency, Wooten said. “By offering these radios to campus departments, they can be monitored by employees who would then circulate the emergency information to others throughout the buildings,” she said. These weather alert radios were given to the University through the Champaign County Emergency Management Agency after the agency received a grant from the Illinois Terrorism Task Force, Wooten said. Kristine Sass, freshman in LAS and resident of Snyder Hall, said she would like to see these radios utilized in her residence hall. “It’s nice to know that the University is doing everything it can to provide us with a safe environment,” she said. “I think these would be really useful, especially in a place that houses so many students.” Any University employee can request one for their building by emailing dpscomments@illinois.edu or contacting Sherry Wooten directly at 217-300-1544 or sawooten@illinois.edu.

Applications hit record high, but fewer admits enroll at UI BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
By the end of the last admissions period, the University had received 31,454 applications for the class of 2016, a record high. The University offered about 20,000 of those applicants admission. But come August, just shy of 7,000 of those students had made the decision to become Illini. The University has had declining returns on its acceptance letters since 2006. In the time since that year, the yield of accepted Illinois residents has dropped from 58.4 percent to 45.3 percent for incoming freshmen, according to data collected by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Counting in the admissions of nonresidents and international students, those numbers dip from 49.7 percent in 2006 to 34.8 percent this year. The University has a yearly goal to have 7,000 freshmen enroll. But because the University has to compete with other schools, it must admit more students each year to reach its enrollment goals, said Daniel Mann, director of student financial aid. A decrease in yield reflects both the increased number of students admitted and a consistent number of students actually attending the University. “We have to offer admission to more students to fill our class
Admissions and tuition changes, 2006-11 In 2010, the Illinois Board of Higher Education identified these three universities as being the most popular out-of-state destinations for Illinois college students. University of Missouri ! Decrease in admissions yield: 12.1 percent ! Increase in in-state tuition: $1,005 ! Increase in out-of-state tuition: $4,458 University of Iowa !

Increase in in-state tuition: $1,776 ! Increase in out-of-state tuition: $8,780 because the competition for topnotch students just keeps getting more and more intense each year,” Mann said. “And many times, it is scholarships and financial aid that is being used to compete for those students.”
As tuition rises, fewer students enroll at University As tuition costs have increased progressively throughout the years, the number of students accepting admittance to the University has decreased, as shown in the yield.

Ill. Senate approves measure allowing licenses for illegal immigrants BY JOHN O’CONNOR AND SOPHIA TAREEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SETH PERLMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Illinois Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, speaks with reporters at the Illinois State Capitol Tuesday in Springfield, Ill.
INSIDE
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A plan that would allow illegal immigrants in Illinois to get driver’s licenses cleared another hurdle Tuesday, with the state Senate approving the measure hours after Republican leaders in the General Assembly offered their support and said they’ve been working with Democrats on the issue for years. The measure, which would let illegal immigrants get tested for licenses and buy insurance without facing deportation, passed the state Senate 41-14. It now heads to the House. The licenses couldn’t be used for other purposes, such as boarding a plane or voter identification.
Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont and House Minority Leader Tom Cross of Oswego stood with former Gov. Jim Edgar and other Republicans earlier Tuesday to announce their support for the legislation. Illinois has about 250,000 illegal immigrants who are driving without training and insurance, proponents say. Those drivers caused $64 million in damage claims each year, according to the Highway Safety Coalition, a group that supports the bill. The legislation was sponsored by Chicago Democratic Senate President John Cullerton. Supporters say the temporary licenses issued would look the same as those given to foreigners who are in the country
legally, so police couldn’t target illegal immigrants. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights kicked off their campaign in support of the licenses at a Nov. 20 event in Chicago with Cullerton and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. Edgar and Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, who also attended an event in support of the bill Tuesday, were there, but not Radogno or Cross. At the time, Radogno said she had a scheduling confl ict and a spokeswoman said she hadn’t discussed the matter with Cross. Asked Tuesday about their Nov. 20 absence, Cross and Radogno downplayed the issue, and coalition chief Lawrence Benito said legislation hadn’t
been drafted until last week. Cross said Tuesday that he’d seen the bill and was supportive of it. “It’s not a new issue and it’s had bipartisan engagement for five years,” Radogno said. “What we see now is both sides coming together and some movement on both sides to get a product that can actually move the ball forward.” Neither addressed the point Edgar made two weeks ago that the measure is a sound opportunity for the GOP to reach out to Latino voters, who played a large role in the shellacking the Republicans took in the General Assembly in the Nov. 6 election. Democrats won supermajority control of both the House and Senate.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, center, attends a meeting of the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah on Tuesday. Israel’s latest settlement plans will destroy any hopes of setting up a Palestinian state next to Israel, a Palestinian official said, as international anger over such construction snowballed.
Palestinian leaders criticize Israel’s plan to build homes in West Bank, Jerusalem BY KARIN LAUB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinians will ask the U.N. Security Council to call for an Israeli settlement freeze, President Mahmoud Abbas and his advisers decided Tuesday, as part of an escalating showdown over Israel’s new plans to build thousands more homes on war-won land in and around Jerusalem. Such construction will destroy any lingering hopes of setting up a Palestinian state, Abbas aides warned, as international anger over the settlement construction snowballed. Israel announced the new plans after the U.N. last week recognized a state of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem — lands Israel occupied in 1967 — as a nonmember observer. The plans include 3,000 more homes for Jews in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, as well as preparations for construction of an especially sensitive project near Jerusalem, known as E-1. Separately, Israel is moving forward with two major settlement projects in east Jerusalem. Israel would build more than 4,200 apartments in the two areas, Ramat Shlomo and Givat Hamatos. Israeli settlement construction lies at the heart of a four-year breakdown in peace talks and was a major factor behind the Palestinians’ U.N. statehood bid.
PRE ISS FROM PAGE 1A night, 12 to 16 breakout sessions Saturday and a legislative session later that evening. At the legislative session, senators will discuss current issues their schools are experiencing. He said medical amnesty, referring to amnesty for underage students seeking medical care resulting from an alcohol-related incident, has been a widely-discussed issue across Big Ten senates. He said the University already has a policy for
Since 1967, half a million Israelis have settled in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Israeli plans for Jerusalem and nearby West Bank areas “are the most dangerous in the history of settlement expansion and apartheid,” Abbas and senior members of the PLO and his Fatah movement said in a statement after a meeting Tuesday evening. The Palestinians decided to ask the Security Council for a resolution censuring Israeli settlement building, even though a previous attempt in early 2011 was derailed by a U.S. veto. The Palestinians say E-1 and Givat Hamatos are particularly problematic because they would cut off east Jerusalem, the intended Palestinian capital, from the rest of the West Bank. Israel’s plans for E-1 and Givat Hamatos “will leave us with no peace process,” Saeb Erekat, a senior Abbas aide, told The Associated Press. He later told Israel TV that “it’s over” if these two settlements are built. “Don’t talk about peace, don’t talk about a two-state solution ... talk about a one-state reality between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean,” Erekat said, referring to the land that the international community hopes will one day accommodate both Israel and a Palestinian state. British Foreign Secretary William Hague sounded a similar warning Tuesday, telling Brit-
ain’s parliament that Israel’s building plans would make a Palestinian state alongside Israel “almost inconceivable.” Eight countries, Britain among them, summoned local Israeli ambassadors in protest since Monday, and Hague said there could be further diplomatic steps if building continues. Some Palestinian officials have raised the possibility of asking the European Union to reconsider its trade agreements with Israel, but Hague said he did not think Europe is ready for economic sanctions against Israel. Israel has rebuffed the international criticism, which put it at odds with some of its strongest foreign allies, including Australia. Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Tuesday that construction plans would move forward, particularly in east Jerusalem and nearby West Bank settlements. “Israel makes decisions according to its national interests, and not in order to punish, fight or confront,” he said. U.N. recognition could enable the Palestinians to gain access to the International Criminal Court and seek war crimes charges against Israel for construction of settlements on occupied lands. Last week, before Israel’s announcement of the new settlement plans, Abbas said that he’s not turning to the ICC “unless we were attacked,” and Palestinian officials portrayed an appeal to the court as a step of last resort.
However, Abbas said Tuesday that “no one can keep quiet about the issue of settlement in E-1,” adding that if Israel keeps building, “it definitely does not want to reach a peace agreement.” Actual construction in E-1 would be years away even if the planning process is pushed ahead now. The Palestinian representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, wrote to the U.N. chief and the heads of the Security Council and the General Assembly late Monday that Israel’s construction constitutes a war crime. The letter made no mention of possible ICC action, which in any case would first require a series of steps by the Palestinians and the court. A Palestinian case at the ICC could also expose Abbas’ main Palestinian rival, the Islamic militant Hamas, to possible war crimes charges for its indiscriminate rocket fi re from Gaza on Israel. Hanan Ashrawi, a senior PLO official, said the Palestinians were encouraged by the recent diplomatic sanctions against Israel but that the international community must go further. Among other steps, she said the European Union should reconsider its association agreement with Israel that grants the Jewish state considerable trade benefits. She said the EU should also take harsher measures against products from Israeli settlements.
that, and legislation is currently moving through the student senate to further improve on the policy. In other business, senators will revisit a resolution they tabled last week regarding the implementation of a student fee for the Illini Media Company, saying they were waiting for more information from the company before proceeding. “We want to see where our money is going; we want to see a thorough explanation of why they need these funds before we move forward,” said Jim Maskeri, chairman of the aca-
demic affairs committee and senior in LAS, at last week’s meeting. Brock Gebhardt, student body president, said he wasn’t sure about the direction of the resolution. “It will defi nitely be considered tomorrow,” he said. “I think the language might change a little bit to clarify some language and correct any misrepresentations.” Senators will also discuss a holiday donation program for Urbana children. The senate plans to donate Illi-
ni memorabilia to the children as gifts for the holidays. Gebhardt said $1,110 worth of merchandise from the Illini Union Bookstore may be donated. He said this donation is part of a partnership between ISS and student trustee David Pileski. “We’re just joining in with his efforts to connect student organizations with needy children in Urbana to give them a little something for the holidays,” Gebhardt said.

students in 2006. But out of those admitted, only 1,663 enrolled — a yield of about one student enrolled for every five admitted. “Public schools always yield their residents at a higher percentage than they’re going to yield their nonresidents,” she said. “Now we have more nonresidents, so a drop in yield is to be expected.” Kostell added that nonresident student numbers are increasing because the University has a larger application pool to draw from. The 31,454 applications received for the 2012 freshman class — a spike of almost 3,000 from the previous year — had an increase in each category of applicant — residents, nonresident and international students. According to the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the top three public, out-of-state schools attended by Illinois residents in 2010 are the University of Iowa, the University of Missouri and Indiana University. This year, Illinois residents make up about 33 percent of Iowa’s freshman class and over 21 percent of freshmen at Missouri, as shown in each school’s enrollment figures. Michael Barron, director of admissions at the University of Iowa, said it is difficult to give specific reasons for the high number of Illinois residents at these schools, as one’s decision to attend a university is personal. However, he said the cost of attendance is something that stands out to all incoming students. He said the $24,900 out-of-state tuition for Iowa is a flat rate for incoming freshmen, whereas at other schools, including the University of Illinois, certain majors and departments charge extra fees, even for in-state students. “If you look at that and then the possibility of scholarships, the financial gap between going out-of-state and staying in state might narrow somewhat,” Barron said. “There are financial incentives that colleges could put in place that would make leaving the state of Illinois a little more affordable.” The topics of tuition and financial aid were discussed at the board of trustees meeting in
3A
November, when Chancellor Phyllis Wise said the primary reason students choose schools other than the University is because a different school offered a better financial aid package. However, Mann said a limited number of scholarships and financial aid packages can be offered to students each year. This year, the University spent over $64 million on financial aid and scholarships, but Mann said more money is being put toward making tuition more affordable each year. “One of the strategies that we need to work on to make ourselves more competitive in the future is being able to try to increase the amount of money that we can offer to students,” he said. “Hopefully, in time, that will improve our yield.” Regardless of the cost of attendance, the University is not the only state school with a decreasing yield. From 2005 to 2011, yield percentages have dropped about 6 percentage points at the University of Iowa and the University of Missouri, and 8 points at Indiana University. But this is still a slower decline than Illinois’ drop of 15.6 points in enrollment yield during the same period. Barron said the decrease in yield at Iowa and other schools was a common trend because more students are being smart about applying for colleges. Most high school students now are applying to anywhere between three and 10 colleges, he said, and at the same time, colleges are looking to diversify their student populations. “With increased recruiting and an increased amount of information, competition among universities has grown a great deal in the past few years, which, in turn, has caused the yield to decrease,” Barron said. Kostell said the University of Illinois is not as concerned with yield as it is with making sure tuition and fees are still affordable for students, especially Illinois residents. “We believe in the value of an Illinois education,” she said. “What’s a concern to all of us, and what we need to keep focusing on, is making sure that remains an affordable option to students.”

Judges argue over therapy to change sexual orientation BY LISA LEFF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Two federal judges in California have arrived at opposite conclusions on whether the state’s first-ofits-kind law prohibiting licensed psychotherapists from trying to change the sexual orientations of gay minors violates the Constitution. The measure remains clear to take effect on Jan. 1. U.S. District Judge Kimberly Mueller on Tuesday refused to block the law after concluding that opponents who have sued in her Sacramento court to overturn it were unlikely to prove the ban on “conversion” therapy unfairly tramples on their civil rights. The opponents argued the law would make them liable for discipline if they merely recommended the therapy to patients or discuss it with them. Mueller said they didn’t demonstrate that they were likely to win, so she wouldn’t block the law. Mueller issued her decision in a lawsuit filed by four counselors, two families, a profession-
al organization for practitioners and a Christian therapists group. It came half a day after her colleague, U.S. District Judge William Shubb, handed down a competing ruling in a separate lawsuit. Saying he found the First Amendment issues presented by the ban compelling, Shubb ordered the state to temporarily exempt three people named in the case before him — two mental health providers and a former patient who is studying to practice sexual orientation change therapy. The judge said during a hearing earlier Monday that he would have considered keeping the law from taking effect for all licensed therapists, but that the case before him had not been filed as a class action that could be applied to unnamed plaintiffs. Sen. Ted Lieu, who sponsored the law, said Tuesday that because Shubb limited the scope of his decision, Mueller’s ruling means the law may be applied statewide at the beginning of the year — except for the three individuals mentioned.
After Sandy, NYC pins housing hopes on ‘rapid repairs’ initiative BY JENNIFER PELTZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Facing Superstorm Sandy’s daunting toll of wreckage and displacement in the nation’s largest city, officials have put much of their hopes and hundreds of millions of dollars into jump-starting repairs to make homes livable. Federal and city officials see the strategy — focusing on getting people back into their own homes, not temporary housing — as an innovative and nimble answer to the challenge of housing thousands of storm victims in a notoriously expensive and crowded area. But with relatively few homes fixed so far, questions are emerging about whether the “rapid repairs” initiative can live up to its name. More than 10,000 homeowners have signed up for NYC Rapid Repairs in the three weeks since Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched the initiative to bring in hundreds of contractors to restore power, heat and other essentials free of charge. Contractors have done initial assessments of about 7,000 homes
in the city and 2,000 in similar initiatives on Long Island, but just about 400 projects have been completed so far. Officials stress that the program is still gearing up. But a community meeting last week in hard-hit Staten Island boiled over with complaints that repairs and other aid aren’t coming fast enough, a familiar refrain in storm-damaged areas. Noreen Connolly-Skammel’s home on the Rockaway peninsula in Queens was hit by a basement fi re and then a flood that swamped the cellar and two feet of the first floor. She said the NYC Rapid Repairs program was swift at first, conducting an assessment within two to three days after her call. But she heard nothing further for about two weeks, when she was told a new assessment had to be done. Anxious to get the work going, she and her husband spent about $8,300 of their own money on boiler, hot water and electrical repairs — the very sort the government program might have done for free. “I wish they were a little more
rapid,” she said, noting that the program has since pledged to help with other repairs. Officials are asking for patience with the first-of-its-kind effort. “We are moving as quickly as we can on these repairs,” Michael Byrne, the Federal Emergency Management Agency official supervising Sandy recovery in New York state, said in a statement Monday. FEMA is paying much of the bill for the home-repair program, while also subsidizing hotel stays and apartments for thousands of Sandy victims — help some say has come promptly, but not without snags. For FEMA, Sandy represents one of the biggest tests since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 rendered 300,000 homes uninhabitable along the Gulf Coast, displaced more than 1 million people and spurred a national examination of disaster housing. Citing the confusing and problem-plagued process of housing people after Katrina, FEMA’s 2009 National Disaster Housing Strategy calls for improvements from exploring new forms of tem-

Yet city, state and federal officials didn’t have a ready answer when they realized that as many as 40,000 city residents might need temporary quarters after Sandy, an estimate that quickly shrank as many homes got heat and electricity back. Byrne says he feels FEMA —
which has OK’d more than $673 million in housing and homerepair aid so far in New York alone — has at least gotten a handle on the disaster. But “my job is to always feel like I’m missing something,” he said. More than a month after the Oct. 29 storm, the need for housing is a moving target that hangs on day-to-day developments for
thousands of people. Roughly 6,700 buildings around the city require significant repairs to be habitable, and about 750 more are deemed structurally unsound, according to city Buildings Department statistics. And in one measure of the demand for help, about 2,100 households are in FEMA-paid hotel rooms.

Funds could be better spent on lowering tuition
F
or all the fuss we heard about centralization last year, the University faculty senate sure doesn’t seem opposed to efforts to consolidate various programs across the campus. The University senate unanimously voted on Monday in favor of a proposal to create a Center for Sustainable Environment. This new center would swallow the current Office of Sustainability, adding five more positions that would work to facilitate the campus’ stated goals of sustainability. With 39 faculty members who might be involved in the center’s efforts, there’s no denying the value in fostering interdisciplinary research. But simply slapping an “interdisciplinary synergies” label on a program doesn’t automatically make it worth any possible financial burden that it will place on students and taxpayers. Amid a budget crunch, the University continues to push into a future that the chancellor has identified as vital in the coming years. Pushing forward into the future is fine, but that $450,000 the school spends is an opportunity cost that funnels money elsewhere. Consolidating various programs into the CSE shouldn’t have to cost more. If anything, the move should streamline information flow and cut costs, not add to them. The unanimity passage of the proposal without any discussion is troubling. The senate, tasked with being a check — albeit a fairly symbolic one — on the University’s continuously growing administration, just gave a full endorsement of a program that would be largely administrative. Out of the half million dollars invested in the project, only a fifth of that would be funneled into actual sustainable projects, the rest supporting staff and other miscellaneous expenses. Perhaps the senate is so enamored with Wise and her policies that it doesn’t seek to question yet another expense based off of her Visioning Excellence campaign. Students care about sustainability, but taking on more expenses at a time when the University has far greater problems to face, like rising tuition, is not sound policy. Perhaps the drive for an “overarching framework” over the many organizations and researchers on campus is just that strong in the senate. But we doubt that. Take, for instance, the drawnout discussions behind closing down comparatively small programs like the Civic Leadership Program, or the lengthy process in removing a major that no longer has any enrollees. These are constant reminders that we’re on a campus where it is much easier to increase spending than to scale it back. It would seem rather counterintuitive for the University to perpetuate this sort of one-way valve when such a policy has one end: higher tuition. So, senators, administrators, you need to recognize that spending $500,000 on creating a larger administration could be better spent on reducing tuition.

In
know that we are responsible for controlling the holiday spirit, not companies. When we discover for ourselves the power of our kindness and benevolence, other people will follow suit. When the public — when individuals — accepts its call to act on behalf of its downtrodden, then Wall Street will follow. The men who hold high places in retail don’t have to be the ones who start celebrating Christmas. The giver and the volunteer reflect it in their art. Through generosity and kindness seen in the muchpublicized NYPD officer giving a pair of shoes to a homeless man and the nation’s overwhelming response to natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy, everyday people are making a difference in this world. We as American people have a good history when coming together in times of crisis or great need. Everywhere there is poverty or someone who has given up, there is a great need. Now in the season set aside for giving we are reminded of the need for generosity on a daily basis. When individuals decide to live the Christmas spirit all year round, only then can a new reality of the holiday season be forged closer to the heart.
the past month or so, I have added Tumblr to my repertoire of websites that I spend copious amounts of time browsing. Twitter allows users to aggregate information from anyone that might interest them. Facebook allows its users to stay connected with the people, brands and places that are most important to them. Tumblr, on the other hand, has no specific purpose — aside from housing the most random assortment of words, images and ideas on the web. In that spirit, I recently came across a new “word” while Tumbling that opened my mind in unimaginable ways. The word: sonder. From the Tumblr: “Sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.” Now, technically, sonder is not a word by the traditional dictionary standards of Merriam-Webster or Oxford. However, it has received a definition from anonymous curators of digital culture and the Tumblr world. This word also entered my vocabulary at just the right time — finals season. Final exam time, more so than any other time of year, often forces us to become not only unrested and overly-caffeinated, but also extremely narcissistic. We have all been there. Those nights that you have to study for an exam, finish a paper and meet up with your team for a dreaded group project can push you into stress zones that make you feel as though your school work is not only the main focus of your life, but the main focus of the rest of the world as well. With that, I realized how crazy I act during this time of year. The realization was two-fold in terms of how it made me think about life. The first epiphany was that “each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.” For example, while waiting to print a paper in the library the other day, I became slightly impatient with someone printing what appeared to be an entire semester’s worth of lecture slides. I had released my document from the print station, yet it was nowhere in sight as I saw dozens of graph-filled papers slide into the tray. I was in a hurry and became visibly annoyed at the situation. Upon considering sonder, though, and subsequently experiencing one of my own, it hit me that being annoyed with someone for rightfully printing slides that they may need for a class is insane. For all I know, they did not notice me, and I was just “an extra sipping coffee in the background.” The second realization was that the whole world is basically “an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed.” In simpler terms — the world is gigantic. Together, the billions of people that inhabit this planet form a massive ecosystem in which each individual is only a small part. Although our final exams, projects and papers feel gigantic, they are just a small speck on the larger spectrum of life and, more importantly, they’re just a tiny speck on the smaller spectrum of our own lives. I had a sonder, a realization that the random girl sitting next to me inside of Starbucks might have a fantastic life or she might be dealing with a very ill family member. Sonder is also the first word that made me realize that, to that same girl, I am likely just a nameless, faceless nobody who does not have a life as vivid and complex as her own. This word and the inherent realization that comes with knowing its “definition” are extremely important for us to recognize, especially as selfish college students. Although we are the center of our own lives, we are just props in the lives of strangers, and, more importantly, we are just a speck in the larger universe. Who knew one word could pack so much punch?

Cutting funding will impede general public served by this scientific, medical progress NORA IBRAHIM Opinions columnist
S
ome of you reading this might be in the same position I am in right now: scrambling to write a gut-wrenching research proposal, crafted to persuade my potential funders to spend their resources on what I think is the most worthwhile and groundbreaking research of this decade. The grant proposal writing process demands a delicate balance of many elements: It needs to be succinct, clear and effective, but more than that, you need to support, in merely half a page, how your research is so important to the progress of human health and knowledge that it deserves government funding. You’ll pore over dozens and scores of literature pieces in your field to hold your ground, spend many late nights designing and illustrating the images and figures to accompany your piece. In the end, you’ll feel as fond of your proposal as you would your child. Raising your voice in the name of science is a challenging feat for any one person. What is the first step in my career as a scientist is the crucial backbone to making scientific discoveries key to our livelihood. It’s a beautiful process, and it should be encouraged by the federal government. But the upcoming fiscal cliff might be the kiss of death to scientific enterprise, severely impeding not only the scientists pushing for funding, but also the general pub-
lic whom this scientific and medical progress serves. In accordance with the “sequestration” clause of the Budget Control Act of 2011, tax cuts on discretionary spending will be in effect by the beginning of 2013. This will cut funding to federal agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Science Foundation, by almost 8 percent, or $3.6 billion for 2013. This is especially concerning for research institutions, like the University, to which this funding goes toward. According to Research!America, the U.S.’s largest not-for-profit public education agency, over 80 percent of these funding agencies’ dollars are allocated to universities, research institutes and academic medical centers. Sequestration will promise a halt in all research these major institutions are undergoing, as the struggles and stresses of finding enough funding chokes investigators’ abilities to move forward in directing their own labs. At our own university, we’ll see the greatest impact at nationally heralded institutes, such as the Beckman Institute or the Institute for Genomic Biology. Unless the U.S. Congress addresses the very dark, gloomy cloud looming over the head of scientific research, we can expect the storm to start up in January 2013, crippling whatever work we scientists have contributed to humanity’s greater basin of understanding. In November, the presidents of the three major Illinois universities (University of Chicago, North-
western University and the University of Illinois) wrote an appeal to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), urging him to work with other congressional members to lessen the impact of the sequestration clause. And in this column, I also write to Congress, asking them to realize how these broad tax cuts to research will stunt our nation’s growth. The Congressional Budget Office’s debt projection for 2011 was severely off from what it actually was. (In fact, the office estimated it would end its debt in 2006.) The major drivers of this debt? Increased spending in defense and non-defense operations, Medicare Part D and technical and economic changes, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts. No, funding to research endeavors, a key to propel a stagnant economy, is not one of them. Right now, the NIH is projecting that it will cut 2,300 grants, making the process of acquiring a grant that much more competitive. And for aspiring scientists, like me, this is disconcerting. What is already a cut-throat field is becoming even more so, chipping away at the base of already hardworking, bright minds that we’ll need if we want to meet milestones — like defeating cancer or solving the energy crisis — in our lifetime. Don’t take away funding from something that will bolster our nation. The Budget Act is meant to mitigate the impact of the dire financial strain, but it won’t accomplish this by moving away from scientific progress.

Take this country’s holiday commercialism and exchange it for love, compassion DYLAN HOYER Opinions columnist
I
t’s that time of year again, Charlie Brown. It’s the time when stores and TV specials announce the upcoming Christmas season, if they missed the first round back in October. Yes, the overcommercialization of the holiday season is back in business this year, much to the Peanuts’ lament. One likes to believe in the freedom of the season. It’s a time filled with friends and family and goodwill toward everyone else. It’s also filled with stuff — lots of it. Before and after a record Black Friday, companies have dumped on the market Christmas supplies, trinkets and the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled-up aisles. It seems like there is hardly any freedom from the tyranny of the shopping mall and its flat-screen TVs at ridiculously low prices. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh. After all, where else would we get our gifts or the things that enable us to celebrate Christmas? Before “A Charlie Brown Christmas” first aired, aluminum Christmas trees were a growing trend. The harkening back to a simpler, seemingly less commercial celebration was answered by none other than the free market itself. All of this machinery making modern Yuletide can still be openhearted. Even with the echoes of salesmen, there’s still a place
for the true meaning of the season. Some businesses have misplaced the true reason long before Charlie Brown first appeared and are unlikely to have their hearts grow three sizes in any one season, much less in a single day. However, there is a place where peace and goodwill toward others can thrive: our hearts. As cheesy and sickening as that sounds, it’s true. Where else can the love of others be so uncorrupted? To sow a new mentality of what Christmas means, beyond the packages, boxes and bags, each must know his part. This means individuals living out peace on earth, especially when society at large fails to do so. To restore the Christmas Charlie Brown laments was lost, each person must go back to look at the cause and implications of the holiday. There are many people who celebrate Christmas religiously, and there are others who do not. But found in every charitable and giving heart is a religion of love. Here is where the true reason has lived always. Whether companies oversell this time of year does not change anything about the holiday. Live and let humbug. How do we play up this aspect of the holiday to a volume louder than the commercials and bigger than the billboards? We should
There are many people who celebrate Christmas religiously, and there are others who do not. But found in every charitable and giving heart is a religion of love.

Studies show Adderall aids focus but has hidden costs BY JULIA MARBACH STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: Several students’ names have been replaced with first name pseudonyms in this article to protect their identities. For Anna, junior in LAS, taking Adderall the night before an exam was the only reason she passed. “It was the last day, and had I not taken the Adderall, I probably would not have passed that test,� Anna said. “I would have been distracted and not gotten seven hours of studying done.� Adderall is a prescription drug used for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as a subtype of ADHD known as ADHD inattentive type, according to Mark Stein, clinical psychologist and director of the ADHD Clinical Research Program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Adderall is a stimulant, and its primary use is for improving attention and concentration. Because of this, students across the country commonly abuse the drug, using it as a study aid. “There have been a couple of surveys in the past few years that show a significant percentage — 5 to 20 percent — of college students will use a stimulant medication such as Adderall or Ritalin or Concerta, not to get high or produce euphoria but to help them study or focus,� Stein said. “And that’s something that has been going on a long time, but it’s just become much more common.� In a 2006 study conducted by the Department of Communication at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, researchers found that 34 percent of the undergraduate students who participated reported using ADHD stimulants illegally. According to the study: “Most illegal users reported using ADHD stimulants primarily in periods of high academic stress and found them to reduce fatigue while increasing reading comprehension, interest, cognition, and memory. Furthermore, most had little information about the drug and found procurement to be both easy and stigma free.� Derek, junior in LAS, said Adderall had a significant impact on his grades. “I got multiple good grades, including my only perfect score on a final exam, when I took Adderall,� Derek said. “I believe it helped me a lot because it helped improve my studying as well as increase my study time.� Although it may help students study for long periods of time while cramming for an exam or finishing a paper, abusing Adderall can have physical, legal and disciplinary consequences. “The most common side effects are things like affecting your
sleep and affecting your appetite, but they can also cause personality changes,� Stein said. “There’s withdrawal effects when they wear off, and people sometimes report that they’re really tired, or they’re more moody or irritable or angry. And then in rare cases they can even cause things like hallucinations.� Anna experienced many of these effects after taking Adderall, including loss of appetite, sleeplessness and emotional changes. “One time when I took it, I just started crying out of nowhere,� Anna said. “I was in the library and just had an emotional breakdown.� Anna, who has taken Adderall about five times, said her experience was more negative than positive and stopped using it because she had panic attacks while on it. Other students also report some of the common side effects. “My only negative feelings came from the first time I experimented with Adderall,� Derek said. “After finishing my studying by 2:30 a.m., I lied in my bed for six hours without sleeping, which affected my entire next day.� John Nevin, junior in LAS, used to have a prescription for Adderall to treat his ADHD but stopped taking it because he thought it was only useful for school and busy work. Nevin said that although he didn’t necessarily notice any physical withdrawal symptoms, there were times he wished he had the drug to make his studying easier. “Everything just felt like a pain in the ass because mentally I was telling myself it could be easier,� Nevin said. Not only does Adderall usage have physical effects, but there are also legal and behavioral consequences. According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, drugs, substances and certain chemicals fall under five different schedules, or categories. Schedule I drugs are considered the most dangerous and Schedule V drugs are the least dangerous. The DEA classifies Adderall as a Schedule II drug, which is “defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse ... with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence.� Other examples of Schedule II drugs include cocaine, methamphetamine and OxyContin. Because Adderall is illegal when used without a prescription, students found abusing it not only face legal consequences, but also disciplinary consequences with the University. According to Section 1-305(d) of the student code, “the illegal possession or use of drugs or drug paraphernalia is prohibited.� Therefore, students found abus-
ing Adderall risk being dismissed from the University, said Brian Farber, director of the Office for Student Conflict Resolution and associate dean of students. Students are not expelled for Adderall usage, but rather, are dismissed with the option to petition the University for readmission, Farber said. “The individual facts and circumstances in a student’s case would be taken into consideration in deciding what the most appropriate response for that student is,� he said. Farber said that instances where students are caught using Adderall for nonmedical purposes are rare, averaging less than one case per year. However, this may be because Adderall is difficult to detect. “You’re not going to smell Adderall or know that something’s amiss, and you’re not necessarily going to know that the person who’s taking it doesn’t have a prescription for it,� Farber said. “There’d have to be some sort of a basis to confront that person by typically law enforcement personnel but also RAs or others who are working in the residence halls.� Despite this, Adderall usage among students for the purpose of studying may be more common than the University recognizes. Nevin said that when he had his prescription, other students would ask him for Adderall, on average, three times a week for the purpose of studying. “I kind of tried to not let everyone know (I had a prescription), but (I was asked) probably every other day, easily,� Nevin said. Students who use Adderall but do not have ADHD often use it occasionally or in certain situations, said Mary Russell, licensed clinical psychologist and coordinator for the Counseling Center’s Alcohol and Other Drug Office. “Finals time is one such time, because students are seeking to require less sleep and to study longer when they are cramming for exams,� Russell said. Students who have taken Adderall say it is not difficult to obtain; they can buy one pill for around $5 and generally get the pills from friends who have prescriptions. “There’s a real health concern with taking these drugs,� Farber said. “I recognize that it’s competitive to get into and be a part of this University community, but the expectation is that you’ll get there on your own steam.� Students who feel they may have a substance abuse problem can contact the Counseling Center’s Alcohol and Other Drug Office located at McKinley Health Center.

How to stick to your new year’s resolution MORGAN QUILICI Staff writer
E
ach December before the turn of the new year, I create a list of resolutions I intend to follow throughout the coming months. It usually starts off great, with me abiding by all my goals: eat healthier, work out more, teach myself how to play guitar, keep up with blogging. But then, my will power crashes around day 15 and I can no longer seem to follow any of the guidelines I made for myself. My blog posts suddenly stop, I eat those french fries at Portillo’s, my guitar starts to become just a decoration piece in my bedroom, and I begin skipping the gym. Apparently, I’m not alone. Author and psychologist Richard Wiseman’s study showed that 52 percent of those who made resolutions were confident that they would reach their goals, but only 12 percent actually followed through, the Huffington Post reported. According to History.com, it is believed that the act of making New Year’s resolutions
came from the Babylonians; the earliest recorded New Year’s celebrations date back about 4,000 years to ancient Babylon. The Babylonians would make promises to the gods, such as paying off debt, in exchange for a positive start to the year. I wonder if they actually stuck to their resolutions? Currently, some of the top 10 most commonly broken resolutions are lose weight and get fit, quit smoking, get out of debt and save money, and volunteer and drink less, TIMEreported. Any of these sound familiar? Being on a college campus, I’d assume the first and last resolutions listed would be most accurate. Erik Riha, lead assistant director of marketing for University of Illinois Campus Recreation, said that on the first day back from winter break last year, 6,814 people went to the ARC and 2,696 people went to CRCE. “It’s by far one of the busiest days of the year,� Riha said. Compared to the rest of the year, the average number of Campus Recreation users increases by about one thousand people during January, February and March, he said.
Riha noted New Year’s resolutions as one of the reasons the University’s fitness facilities sees such an increase in users during those three months. If you want to stick with your resolutions this year, here’s my advice: don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Otherwise, you will become stressed and overwhelmed by your goals and less likely to succeed at them. Resolutions are meant to be a challenge to reach, but they’re not meant to make your life more difficult. I would also suggest keeping your resolution list below five goals. The more resolutions you make, the more you’re setting yourself up for failure. While personal experience and statistical evidence show that my chances of keeping my resolutions are slim, this year I plan on combating any urges to quit. Whether it’s dusting off my guitar or skipping the trip to Portillo’s, I’m determined to follow through with at least one of my New Year’s resolutions. Check back in December 2013 to see if I’ve accomplished this ... or sooner.

Students, teachers use imagery for ‘performance enhancement’ BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER
T
he night before a performance, professor Jan Erkert, head of the department of dance, tells her students to visualize themselves rehearsing their dances three times before going to sleep. The difference between those who take her advice and those who do not, she said, is obvious. That’s because the concept of visualization, also called mental imagery or mental rehearsal, has developed into a strategy that has transformed approaches to rehabilitation and training. Evidence has suggested visualization creates activation patterns from imaging. In other words, just picturing yourself performing an action, such as jumping, triggers the same neurological pathways that are stimulated when you physically jump. The more someone practices imagining a specific action, the more efficiently the brain can remember the neurological patterns involved in performing that action. Because the brain recognizes the patterns once they have been created, it becomes easier for the brain to activate the motor cortex to physically perform the task, said Sean Mullen, professor of kinesiology and community health, who studies exercise psychology. “An old way of thinking about it is that we can just train our muscles, strengthen and stretch them, and therefore we’re better movers,” Erkert said. This kind of unilateral focus was less efficient, she said, and now it is widely accepted that it is in fact the union of the mental preparation and the physical training that makes a successful performance. Erkert’s understanding of this idea comes from years of experience using imagery to create certain movements or choreographing to portray a certain idea. The science behind it is something that Mullen said researchers are just beginning to comprehend. “We’re just now brushing the surface of understanding the neuro mechanisms, but there’s been imagery research for decades, particularly in sport and rehabilitation,” he said. To match the drill sequences with their music, musicians in the Marching Illini also practice imagining the drill while learning to play their music and vice versa “so that the connection between the two can take place,” said Barry Houser, director of the Marching Illini and associate director of bands. “What (the band) does on a daily basis is so much triggered by the mental visioning that takes place,” Houser said. This use of mental imagery and visualization has been met with much success, he added. “Generally speaking, we find that we have bet-
ter perf o r mances on the concert stage and on the marching field itself,” he said. Erkert has also said she has found the technique to be essential in teaching dance. “As a teacher, I am constantly using imagery and mental preparation for my dancers,” she said. “When I do that, I can see a difference in the classroom immediately.” The image can be poetic or more spatial, she said, but either way the student can better align themselves with the intent of their movement to achieve it. Encouraging students to engage in mental rehearsal has its health benefits as well. Instead of repeatedly practicing the movements, performers can reduce the wear and tear on their bodies by correcting mistakes mentally, visualizing the proper movements and then physically rehearsing. “Rather than working in muscle systems we began to work with neurological patterns and we could see the difference,” she said. “The muscles are a byproduct of the training — but what we’re really training is the brain and the nervous system. It’s how the brain and the nervous system coordinate the firing of muscles that’s important.” An athlete or musician suffering from a physical injury can use the visualization training as a springboard for his or her physical recovery. Erkert experienced the power of this method when a severe physical injury prevented her from dancing. “Of course I had to retrain my muscles because they atrophy,” she said. “But the nervous system was the most important part of the repatterning I did during that injury.” Mullen attests that there have been a number of these type of successful interventions because the imagery not only allows the patient to practice and activate the neurological pat-
terns in his or her brain, but also can distract them from the physical pain they may be experiencing in rehabilitation. Mullen, Erkert and Houser all agreed that this technique assists them in preparing for lectures or rehearsals. “I use it all the time,” Mullen said. “I use it prior to teaching my class, visualizing mate rial, anticipating student responses.” Even if this type of visualization does not directly involve the activation of certain muscles, it does what any kind of practicing can do, whether mental or physical: It creates confidence. As experts pursue testing and researching about why visualization works and what exactly happens within the brain to make it effective, the concept continues to be widely utilized. “Imagery is one of the most popular psychological methods for teaching, enhancing motivation and just performance enhancement,” he said.

Illini improve to 9-0 with 72-64 victory
OF THE WEEK
BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER
The No. 13 Illinois men’s basketball team faced a Western Carolina team with a 3-5 record Tuesday night and posted statistics that reflected as much. The Illini forced 22 Catamounts turnovers, scored 29 points off those turnovers and grabbed 18 offensive rebounds. Illinois wasn’t overly sloppy, either, turning the ball over only 11 times. And yet, with 4 minutes, 34 seconds remaining in the game, Illinois clung to just a 59-56 lead and could not put away Western Carolina. Sophomore point guard Tracy Abrams then scored six of his 10 total points, and D.J. Richardson hit a 3-pointer to stake Illinois (9-0) to a 72-64 victory, keeping first-year head coach John Groce’s team undefeated on the season. “I thought they were the tougher team for the bulk of the game,” Groce said. “They were ferocious on the glass.” Illinois shot poorly from the 3-point line in the first half, hitting 4-of-14 from beyond the arc, and overcame early foul trouble from center Nnanna Egwu to enter halftime with a 32-22 lead. Ten Illini took the court in the first half, with contributions from little-used players Mike Shaw and Devin Langford. With a 10-point lead coming out of halftime, the Illini were poised to bolster their lead, but the Catamounts aggressively attacked Illinois’ defense and went on a 9-2 run to bring their deficit to three points. Egwu, rested after playing four first-half minutes, hit his first career 3-pointer to stop the Western Carolina run. Both teams exchanged blows for the rest of the half, including tactical ones from Groce, who trotted out his 2-3 zone to stop gap some of Illinois’ interior troubles. “I thought our post defense was struggling, and I didn’t think we did a great job of keeping the basketball in front,” Groce said of switching to the zone defense. “They were in a rhythm. We wanted to try and get them out of a rhythm.” Groce singled out Brandon Paul, for driving to the hoop in the second half, and Abrams, for notching 30 minutes of playing time without a turnover, as reasons why Illinois weathered the Western Carolina run and pulled out the victory.

The junior guard went on an individual 10-0 run late to lead Illinois to a win over Georgia Tech. BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
J
oseph Bertrand’s day was coming. He had the tools all along, the stuff that would make coaches salivate. Bertrand was a two-time Illinois state dunk champion in high school with an uncanny knack for the hoop and long, sinewy arms. At 6-foot-5, he had the makings of a big guard that could present matchup problems at the collegiate level. But when he landed at Illinois in 2009, the skinny kid with cornrows hair from Sterling High School wasn’t talked about much. The other members of his heralded recruiting class — D.J. Richardson, Brandon Paul and Tyler Griffey — played immediately as freshmen. Bertrand tore the lateral meniscus in his right knee. He had surgery in September and missed the whole season, redshirting to preserve all four years of his eligibility.
“Sitting out my freshman year was really hard on me,” Bertrand said. Mired behind established rotations on a veteran team the next year, Bertrand again saw little playing time. It wasn’t until his sophomore year, in the Braggin’ Rights game against Missouri last December, that Bertand’s unique talent surfaced for the first time. Facing an undefeated team that many analysts had pegged as a Final Four contender, Bertrand sparked a 17-3 second half run that gave Illinois the lead briefly. The athletic guard resuscitated an offense that had stalled at the end of the first half through an arsenal of floaters off dribble drives. He finished the game perfect from the field on 9-for9 shooting and a then career-high 19 points, despite losing to Missouri in the closing minutes of the game. It seemed like a wunderkind performance that could ignite a promising collegiate career, but question marks riddled the effort. Bertrand had scored only two points in the previous six games before Missouri, and each floater from the sophomore during the Illini’s second-half run felt more preposterous than the last. Even former head coach Bruce Weber was stunned, incredulously saying after the game,

Missouri game. The offensive production wasn’t a fluke, either, as Bertrand scored his careerhigh 25 points against Nebraska in January. But his scoring declined as the Big Ten season wore on with opponents’ sagging its defense and forcing Bertrand to shoot jump shots. The jumpers weren’t as successful as his trademark floaters, and Bertrand either shot them timidly or passed them up altogether. Bertrand had not arrived yet.

Amber Moore takes a 3-point shot during Illinois’ loss to Colorado at the Assembly Hall on Saturday. Illinois’ fi rst road game of the season . Texas Tech (6-1) suffered its only loss of the season at New Mexico. The Red Raiders won their season opener at Arizona State and have won five in a row. The Illini lost to the Red Raiders last season 70-64 at the United Center in the only meeting between the two programs. In the loss, Penn, Moore and Crawford all scored in double figures. Although this will be Illinois’ fi rst true road game, the Illini have played two games outside of Champaign. The team
played Tulsa and Iowa State at the Junkanoo Jam in the Bahamas on Nov. 23 and 24 . Texas Tech is one of the nation’s leading programs in attendance. The Red Raiders averaged 6,693 fans per game last season, ranking 11th in the country, despite failing to qualify the NCAA tournament. Bollant said he thinks the hostile environment will prepare his team for Big Ten play.

It’s a problem no one can answer. The Illinois hockey team finds itself in a rut while enduring five consecutive losses on Saturdays and six of nine overall. Illinois hasn’t won a Saturday game since its Oct. 20 match against Central Oklahoma. “It’s extremely frustrating,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “It is so frustrating because when we do bring that effort, we’re an extremely good hockey team.” The losses on Saturday are particularly unexplainable with how well the team plays on Fridays, holding a 7-1-2 record in those games this season. “If we knew exactly what it was, we’d be able to fix it,” forward Scott Barrera said. “We can’t really pinpoint it.” The epitome of the Illini’s (13-8-2) inconsistency came Nov. 16-17 against then-ranked No. 3 Ohio on the road. After having four players suspended for the first game of the series stemming from a previous brawl against Lindenwood, Illinois came out and shocked the Bobcats with a 3-2 victory. But with key contributors returning to the lineup for that Saturday, the Illini were blown off the ice in 7-1 beatdown. Despite the results on the ice, the Illini are making strides to correct some of the problems that have plagued the team this year. Captain Austin Bostock said the team went out for lunch before Saturday’s game against Oklahoma to try and build more off-the-ice chemistry. For the games themselves, Fabbrini pointed to weekly film study as one of the best ways to learn from mistakes, partic-
ularly those in the defensive zone. “A lot of times, they don’t realize they’re making mistakes,” Fabbrini said. “Seeing how bad they look is what will facilitate a change.” Film study is a way to keep players and coaches accountable for their mistakes. While coaches can see which lines and players are playing well together, players have to sweat it out and watch the fi lm with the whole team. “I think it’s really important,” Barrera said. “Not only do you make the mistake in the game, but you have to sit in the locker room with everyone and watch yourself do it. ... It’s embarrassing sitting in there and watching yourself make a mistake that leads to a goal.” While Fabbrini has pointed to defensive struggles during the losing stretch, he said his offense is not carrying its weight. While top-line scorers such as John Olen, Kevin Chowaniec, Barrera and Bostock carry much of the offense, Fabbrini wants his secondary players to step up as well. “There’s a lot of offensive ability on our third and fourth lines,” Fabbrini said. “Your best players aren’t going to score every game. Even if they do, we need somebody else other than those top two lines pulling their weight.” Regardless of the team’s defensive performance, the key to the Illini’s success is scoring, especially scoring first. When Illinois lights the lamp first, as it has done in 16 of its 21 games, the Illini hold an 11-32 record.

Griffin’s performance leads to Monday Night angst JACK CASSIDY Fantasy doctor
E
very fantasy owner has agonized over “Monday Night Football.” With Robert Griffin III in action, this week proved no different. Enter Monday night fantasy angst. After the full slate of Sunday games, you lead in your fantasy matchup by 16 points. This lead is usually large enough to feel comfortable. “His running back won’t top 100 yards,” you tell yourself. “His kicker will get 10 points, tops,” you believe. And more often than not, you’re right. You breathe easy and relax on your couch. You eat a big meal and fall asleep with a smile. Your dreams are pleasant. Life is good. But those nights don’t include RGIII. He’s a different animal. When you’re facing RGIII, as opposed to some buster running back, you still sleep, but not well and not with a smile. The dreams turn into nightmares. This sleep isn’t brought on by confidence. It’s brought on by surrender, and in your mind, the loss has already been chalked up. “Well, at least there won’t be any stress tonight,” you tell yourself. Still, you watch. Maybe it’s the background
noise while you’re eating dinner or a separate window open on your laptop while you do homework, but in some fashion you watch the game. Through one quarter, Griffin only has 100 yards passing. You notice his lack of production and perk up. Through halftime, Griffin improves his statline to 150 yards, but he is still without a touchdown or any significant yardage on the ground. You perk up a bit more. At the end of the third, Griffin has 160 yards and no touchdowns. Now your attention has spiked. Is this possible? Is this happening? The fourth quarter is heartwrenching, as RGIII’s numbers inch closer and closer to that terrible 15-point mark. He scrambles and completes short passes. You scream. He takes a costly sack and overthrows an open receiver. You keep screaming. Finally, it comes down to one final drive. Griffin and the Redskins have a one-score lead and the ball with under two minutes remaining. A first down would end the game, but either two yards rushing or five yards passing from Griffin would give you the loss. The drive means nothing in the NFL world, as this game essentially ended the second the Redskins regained possession. But in the fantasy world, this drive will go down in epic lore, marking triumphant vic-

You can’t help but pace about the room with your hands over your face. The next down could play out in a number of ways.

celebrate with more joy than any Redskin fanatic. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Now let’s keep this fantasy train rolling with a few waiver wire pickups for this week. Russell Wilson (quarterback, Seahawks, 17.8 percent owned in ESPN leagues) — Playing the most prominent position in the most popular sports league, fans should know a thing or two about Wilson by now. But his performance Sunday against the Bears was astonishing to say the least. He broke away from mediocrity and was masterful, torching the Bears on two consecutive drives to pick up an overtime win. Successful NFL quarterbacks do two things — convert on third down and convert in the red zone — and Wilson thrived in both of those categories on his way to the best statistical game of his career. Third-down and red zone conversions equal yards and touchdowns. If Wilson continues this successful style of play, the fantasy points will pile up.

with Peyton Manning, for if he were, he’d be a fantasy stud every week. But even at his new home in Tampa Bay, the scores are still coming — three touchdowns in his last four weeks. He is nowhere near elite anymore, but he’s still serviceable. Take a look at Clark if you’re reeling at the tight end position. Donnie Avery (wide receiver, Colts, 8.4 percent) — Avery and the Indianapolis Andrew Lucks are rolling, winning six of their last seven games, including a last-second miracle win over the Lions last Sunday. Playing for head coach Chuck Pagano as he battles cancer, the Lucks can’t lose. Avery got into the mix last week with 91 yards and two touchdowns. It was his best game of the year by far, so take that stat line with a grain of salt. But with a hot team and Luck at the helm, perhaps this was only the beginning for Avery. He’s a player to keep your eye on moving forward.

Urlacher out, Bears’ linebackers reshuffled THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY MARIA SUDEKUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his “girlfriend,” but that she wasn’t home. The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-monthold daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility’s parking lot, police said. Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said. “We ask him ‘Why are you sleeping here?’, and he says he’s there to visit his girlfriend, but she’s not home,” Snapp said. When police determined Belcher didn’t have any outstanding warrants, Snapp said Belcher, 25, made a phone call and a short time later, a woman let Belcher into her building. Police did not question the woman and don’t know who she is, he said. “When he was sleeping she may have come home, and he didn’t realize,” Snapp said. “He was very cooperative and thanked the officers.” Snapp said that was the last contact police had with Belcher “until his name came up” with the shooting at his home. Witnesses have since told police that Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m., Snapp said.
At about 7:50 a.m., police were called to Belcher’s home after he had shot and killed Perkins, whose body was found on the floor of the master bathroom with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a police incident report. Belcher then drove about five miles to Arrowhead Stadium, where he was met by general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, who Belcher thanked for all they had done for him. When police arrived, Belcher moved behind a vehicle, out of clear view of officers, Snapp said. He said Belcher then knelt down and shot himself once in the head. Snapp said Belcher also used two separate, legally registered handguns in the shootings. Friends have said the relationship between Belcher and Perkins was strained. The couple briefly lived apart recently before getting back together before Thanksgiving, friend Brianne York told The Associated Press. Kansas City Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews said Tuesday he wasn’t aware of what counseling efforts the team may have made for Belcher and Perkins. Belcher played college football at the University of Maine, where he repeatedly was the subject of university police reports. A University of Maine spokeswoman provided the reports to the AP. In April 2006, Belcher punched his fist through a dorm window after becoming upset over a woman, documents said. And in February 2007, a noise complaint was lodged after “a discussion outside of his room” between Belcher and a woman. The report says “both stated that she was to contact him by 23:00 hours and did not. He became worried and when she did show up he told her that he did not want to see her until the morning.”
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — With Brian Urlacher nursing a hamstring injury, the Chicago Bears have signed Dom DeCicco to a two-year contract, adding depth at linebacker. The team announced the move Tuesday. Urlacher’s status for this week’s game at Minnesota and beyond is in question after he was injured on the final drive of Sunday’s overtime loss to Seattle. Coach Lovie Smith indicated Monday that he has a pulled hamstring. The Chicago Tribune, citing sources, reported Tuesday that he is expected to miss three games and possibly the rest of the regular season. The team declined comment. Nick Roach would likely move to middle linebacker with Geno Hayes taking his spot at strong side linebacker without Urlacher. DeCicco appeared in all 16 games for the Bears last season. Chicago also waived injured linebacker Patrick Trahan.

New faces in the Illini swimming lineup for 2013-14 BY J.J. WILSON STAFF WRITER
ent through a lot of Luke’s junior golf career. Zach caddied for Luke during a U.S. junior event as well as another pro event in which Luke competed as an amateur. Zach also caddied for his brother during six professional golf events this summer. Even though the brothers have always been close, Zach said they get along so well because they both understand the duality of their relationship. “We always have time to be brothers, like when we’re in a hotel room together, watching basketball or baseball, or even when we go out to dinner. But there’s a time when I am the coach and Luke is the player because, on the course, it’s all business,” he said. Zach said he will definitely miss the
Illinois athletes that he helped coach for the past five years. “Recently, it has been harder to grasp that I’m leaving, especially since it’s official,” he said. “It’s sad, really sad, when people come up to me and say goodbye.” Not only will Guthrie miss his experiences at Illinois, but the team, especially head coach Mike Small, will miss his presence. “Zach brought to the program an incredible work ethic as well as good organization, which has helped not only me, but the players over the years,” Small said. Even though he is leaving behind the program, Zach said he could not be more excited to begin caddying for his brother.
“I have the unique opportunity to help get my brother’s career get off to a good start,” Zach said. “Even though I’ll miss the guys, the choice wasn’t hard. I’m doing this to help my brother.” With a whole new journey in store, the brothers will be preparing for various professional tournaments across the country next year. But Zach stressed that he plans to reside in the area to maintain a connection to his Illinois family. “I won’t be too far from all of the guys on the team that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed coaching over the past five years,” Zach said.
The idea was to get the abundant Illini shooters to shoot with confidence once the season started. Bertrand never was considered in the “shooter” category in the past, and yet he found himself completing his 11,000 jump shots, too. The results of Bertrand’s offseason work blended into a potent offensive mixture that enters the game off the bench to inject dynamic scoring option. Bertrand’s firepower was on full display last week in a win against Georgia Tech, which may signal his arrival for good on a surging Illinois team. In a contentious, back-and-forth game, Bertrand scored 10 straight points for Illinois in a 1 minute, 38 second time span. The first bucket was a harmless layup. The second, a wide-open 3-pointer to give Illinois a one-point lead. Then, a pull-up 3-pointer from the top of the key with a defender in his face for a four-point lead.
A play in that scoring barrage ended up on SportsCenter’s Top 10 as the No. 3 play of the night, an acrobatic layup in transition in which Bertrand jumped over a Georgia Tech defender and whirled his arms to release the ball as it danced off the backboard and through the net. Illinois had a six-point advantage, and the game might as well have been over with a frenzied home crowd on its side. “I just went up and he was under me,” Bertrand said. “I didn’t know he fell down or anything. It really ignited the crowd.” Paul and Griffey tried to gather the team after the exhilarating play, but even they basked in the moment. Bertrand finished the game as the team’s co-leading scorer with Paul at 15 points. Three days earlier against Gardner-Webb, Groce interrupted his substitution flow and kept Bertrand in the game for most of the
second half, instead of point guard Tracy Abrams. “He was playing too well for me to take him out,” Groce said. The national notoriety brought attention to Bertrand, as did his startup on Twitter, @iJoeTales, where the junior raked in 3,000 followers in the first 48 hours of the account’s existence. The SportsCenter highlight reels, the new Twitter handle, his performance against Georgia Tech: all signs that he’s arrived now in a big way. Joseph Bertrand’s day was always coming, and three years after landing on campus, he’s leading Illinois with the rest of his 2009 classmates, with a certain flair that only he can concoct.
Though the season isn’t over, Illinois swimming and diving has already taken steps toward building a better team for next fall. Last Friday, Illinois head coach Sue Novitsky announced the signing of three letters of intent by student-athletes for the 2013-14 season — two swimmers and one diver. The future Illini are set to include diver Olivia Kassouni (East Grand Rapids, Mich.) and swimmers Amelia Schilling (Shorewood, Minn.) and Gabrielle Stecker (Bettendorf, Iowa). “We’re just looking for some specific components and our main goal was freestyle, so we pretty much hit it on the head with Amelia and Gabrielle,” Novitsky said. This year, Schilling was the state champion the 200 and 500 free. She qualified for state all four years in her high school career, and she is the current state record holder in the 500 free with a time of 4 minutes, 48.96 seconds. She qualified for both the USA Swimming Junior Nationals and the USA Swimming Winter Nationals. “Amelia’s uncle is our former assistant basketball coach, so he sort of gave us her name,” Novitsky said. “We’ve been watching her for a couple of years now.” As for Stecker, she holds two high school state records in the 200 and 500 free with times of 1:49.64 and 4:52.91, respectively. She is a three-time state qualifier and, like Schilling, a USA Swimming Junior National qualifier. “Gabrielle, we saw this summer when we were recruiting. We checked in, said ‘hi’ and saw how things were going,” Novitsky said. “(That’s) half of what recruiting is, maintaining those relationships with those coaches and, as their kids develop, we see who might fit in with our school.” Kassouni made a name for herself in the realm of diving, having held the Division III state title for 2010 and 2011. She was also the Division II state runner-up this year. In 2011 and 2012, Kassouni was a national finalist in her age group for the 1-meter, 3-meter and platform competitions. Novitsky said she does not think the team needs to bring in a lot of members as much as it just needs to find strong swimmers to fill in positions where the Illini are weaker.

Illinois’ Luke Guthrie watches his ball after teeing off at the Stone Creek Golf Club in Urbana on April 18. Guthrie will play on the PGA Tour next season,with his brother Zach serving as his caddy.
Zach Guthrie excited to caddy for brother Luke BY CLAIRE LAVEZZORIO STAFF WRITER
Former Illinois golf star Luke Guthrie has been taking large steps in his career. After obtaining his PGA Tour card for the 2013 season, only one thing was missing — a caddy. And no one seemed more fit for the role than Illinois men’s golf assistant coach Zach Guthrie, who was not only Luke’s coach throughout college, but also his older brother. “There was always an unspoken feeling between us, that someday I would be his caddy if he turned pro,” Zach said, “but it wasn’t officially talked about until last summer.” Caddying for his brother won’t be something new to Zach by any means. Because of their five-year age difference, Zach has been pres-
IOTW FROM PAGE 1B With the coaching switch after last year came rumor that the new guy, John Groce, had an offense predicated on athletic guards forcing turnovers on defense and converting those turnovers into instant offense through transition. Once Groce’s schemes were implemented, Bertrand’s teammates noticed his growing comfort within the system. “It’s almost like it was built for Joe,” center Nnanna Egwu said before the season. Bertrand always had his floater — “I can shoot that thing over anybody” — but a component of Groce’s offseason workouts seemed poised to help Bertrand the most: each player had to make 11,000 jump shots this summer.
MBBALL FROM PAGE 1B Seniors Paul and Richardson led Illinois in scoring, notching 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Groce said his biggest disappointment in Tuesday night’s performance was that his team had practiced in the last week far better than it played Tuesday. Illinois had a five-day break between contests after its victory over Georgia
Tech last Wednesday, and Groce expressed his pleasure with those practices in the days leading up to Western Carolina. “I was disappointed because we didn’t play like we practice,” Groce said. “Guys were locked

in and knew what we needed to get better at (in practice). Guys, I thought, were excited to be at practice, great energy, great attitude.” Certain areas that required mental focus, including executing “after timeout” plays and taking
charges, were absent from most of the first half. Groce stressed that his players needed to be tougher, and that his players were well aware that they did not perform to standards. “I think they out-toughed us.
We have to be tough,” Richardson said. “We have to do a better job of throwing haymakers all game. We have to play 40 minutes.”
