Bars reject international IDs, students feel wronged BY ADAM KAZ STAFF WRITER
Chirag Khushalani doesn’t have an Illinois driver’s license and up until recently, that didn’t seem like such a big deal. But beginning in April 2016, every time he tried to go to The Red Lion or The Clybourne, he was denied entry because he didn’t have an Illinois ID. Khushalani, a sophomore in Business, tried using his United Arab Emirates ID to prove his age at the bars but was denied. He is one of approximately 11,000 international students who attend the University. “It’s kind of insulting because being apart of this student community, I’m really interested in socializing and meeting people,” Khushalani said. “I’m legally allowed to be there.” General manager of The Red Lion and The Clybourne, Jason Reda, declined to comment on this story. Bouncers now encourage international students to bring their passports if they want entry to the bars, Khushalani said. Nikhil Jerath, a sophomore in Engineering and an Indian citizen, started using his passport as a form of identification. Yet Jerath is anxious about the arrangement, especially with the possibility of inadvertently losing it. “I don’t feel comfortable having to rely on my passport for the rest of my college career,” he said. “I still have three years left, and anything can happen in three years.” Some students have also been denied entrance while using replacement IDs. According to a new state policy, people who receive a driver’s license must get a temporary paper ID until their official ID arrives in the mail. Nikki Thayyil, senior in Business, used her passport while waiting for a replacement state ID to arrive in the mail. She’s seen some bars on campus decline her friends for using temporary IDs. Thayyil said all bars except Joe’s Brewery decline temporary IDs, which she thinks is a known policy around campus. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a basis for why they don’t let people use the paper IDs,” she said. “If there was a reason, and they specifically said the reason, I think that more people would be understanding.” Though Thayyil believes bars lack transparency, some bars on campus communicate their ID processes more clearly. Murphy’s pub manager Alyssa Ullrich said the bar handles the issue by requiring both the temporary license and the ID being replaced. Since Murphy’s is used to the new regulations, Ullrich said it’s better to make sure they aren’t serving anyone attempting to use a fake or duplicate ID. Khushalani is too nervous to carry his passport and international advising specialist Melissa Chin tells international students to keep their passports in a secure place. “We encourage students to keep their passports in a safe place, so ideally (bars on campus) would want students to carry copies of their passports rather than the original passport, just because it can be kind of hard to replace it if it gets lost,” Chin said. Students who lose or damage their passports will have to go to their home country’s Chicago consulate to get a replacement. Khushalani believes the bars are breaking state discrimination law. He’s considered legal action and has spoken to director of student legal services Thomas E. Betz about possibly fi ling a discrimination case

Early voting began at the Illini Union on Monday. Students and community members alike took advantage of this opportunity and cast their ballots early.
Ballots open early, draw crowds Early voting open at the Illini Union until Nov. 6 and the ARC starting Oct. 31 DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten has expanded early voting locations to nine additional places for the Nov. 8 election. “There’s an enormous amount of demand for early voting in Champaign county, and we wanted to continue to provide locations that folks can take advantage of early voting without having to wait in line,” Hulten said. On campus, people can now vote at the Illini Union Federal Room in the basement until Nov. 6. Starting Oct. 31, the Activities and Recreation Center will also be an early voting place. “We wanted another location in a

For many millennials, this is the first United States presidential election in which they are eligible to vote and they are not taking the responsibility lightly. Over half of Americans are more stressed out now than when the 2016 presidential election cycle began. Fifty-two percent of Americans claim that the election is a “very or somewhat significant source of stress,” according to a survey done by the American Psychological Association. Millennials were the second-largest group to report higher levels of stress, with 56 percent reporting high stress. The study also highlighted that political affi liation is not a key factor in rising stress levels, since both Republicans and Democrats produced similar results. Fifty-five percent of registered Democrats reported significant

stress, similarly 59 percent of registered republicans that reported stress. Dr. Aleksander Ksiazkiewicz, an assistant political science professor at the University, believes the rise of election-related stress can mostly be attributed to how little there is to like about the candidates. “The candidates from both parties have historically low levels of likability,” Ksiazkiewicz said. The ratings “may indicate anxiety among some voters who anticipate being dissatisfied regardless of who wins the election.” The political polarization between Republicans and Democrats has increased over the years, which could be a long-term cause of election-related stress. “There is some evidence that ‘neg-
Election-related stress guidelines • Limit exposure to media that is reporting on the elections. • Read just enough to be prepared to vote. • It’s okay to politely decline or change the subject away from elections. • Avoid catastrophizing, the elections will be over and people will move on. • Try to focus on issues that are enjoyable and practical. • Try focusing on local elections or representatives.

“We look for facilities that are visible, that have enough room for us, that we can take over for two straight weeks and have the security we need,” Hulten said. “(We also look for a place) that is accessible for folks with disabilities, and then we try to spread those locations out in a way that’s geographically diverse.” According to Activities and Recreation Center event coordinator Andrew Funari, the Champaign County Clerk’s office reached out to the ARC to request the space. “It’s all been their coordination,”

slightly different area of campus to try and spread the load out for people who are interested in early voting and live on campus,” Hulten said. The decision to increase early voting locations was in response to the demand for early voting last March. Hulten said the goal is to have 30,000 to 40,000 people vote early. “In March we had significantly more demand for early voting than we anticipated,” Hulten said. “Since this is the highest turnout election that we’ve had, we wanted to be ready.” Hulten said multiple factors come into play when determining if a location is able to host election polls.
Since students can go to bars at the age of 19, campus police have consistently combatted underage drinking. But, some students feel there has been a stronger police presence at the bars than in previous years. “To me it feels like they are really just trying to crack down on the weekends, almost to maybe prevent like other students from around the area, you know ISU, or Eastern, or Parkland that come,” said Andrew Hassiepen, a graduate student and alumnus. Since there is only one campus bar in Urbana, The Canopy Club, most of the policing of bars falls under the jurisdiction of Champaign Police. The University Police do not have jurisdic-

Joe Ketchem with Champaign Police. “I think we wrote 59 (tickets) … on the first weekend, like on a Saturday.” As part of their campus patrol duties, Champaign Police conduct bar checks throughout campus. Ketchem said about five officers at a time go to the bar and check for underage drinking, as well as providing alcohol to underage patrons, among other possible violations. “Every semester we do about six of those, it just depends,” he said. “My philosophy is I try to do a little more in the fall,

Possible student health care upcharge Rising national health care premiums also affect students BY GILLIAN DUNLOP STAFF REPORTER
The cost of student health insurance will potentially increase by more than 12 percent next fall. McKinley Health Center Director Dr. Robert Palinkas announced at the Illinois Student Senate meeting that this is due to the increasing national costs of health care. M c K i n ley He a lt h ad m i n i st r at io n wa s informed by their insurance underwriter that the insurance company is losing money on University students because the current premiums are so low, Palinkas said. As of now, the cost of the plan is $320 a semester for undergraduates and $409 a semester for graduate students. This price increase will affect the 26,000 students that are currently on the University insurance plan. “It’s not a huge price increase for some students,” said Alex Villanueva, senior in LAS student and vice president external of Illinois Student Senate. “But for some students, this will break the bank.” Palinkas discussed some ways in which the University can resist the price increase including potentially requesting new proposals for student

ID with the Champaign Human Relations Committee. However, he’s weary of beginning that long legal process. “There’s a human rights and discrimination case that could be fi led, but I don’t want to get into that right now because there’s a lot of red tape to get involved in that,” Khushalani said. Betz said this issue hadsbeen raised multiple times in his office this year, and he doesn’t recall this being a problem in the past. Although he can’t confirm if these bars are breaking the law, he believes it’s problematic that they are creating one standard for domestic students and another for international students. He sees no reason to believe that international students are more likely to create fake IDs, nor does he think international IDs are easier to fake than domestic IDs. Betz can’t find a valid reason why bars would institute this additional hurdle for the international students. He’s told students who’ve faced this issue to fi le a complaint with the Champaign Human Relations Commission. Khushalani said he was told by Betz that the city will get a new liquor attorney in mid-October. He may take legal action once the new liquor attorney is appointed. Community relations manager and compliance officer for the City of Champaign Rachel Joy said her office has not heard any complaints from international students about discrimination. If students do feel they’ve been discriminated against, she recommended they fi le a
complaint with Community Relations so they could begin an investigation. Joy said she would need to know specifics about the discrimination because discrimination can mean a lot of things. “So what is their policy around IDs that are accepted? What are their policies around other individuals that have come in?” Joy said. “In other words, are there particular countries that people are coming from and their IDs are accepted, but this particular person is not, so there has to be that despair treatment.” Certain bars have protocols allowing them to check if international IDs are authentic and acceptable. Ullrich said Murphy’s accepts international driver’s licenses, visas and passports. If there is ever a question about an ID, Murphy’s uses a U.S. and international ID reference guide and alerts a manager. Champaign deputy liquor commissioner Matt Roeschley said the official liquor code requires all bars that hold a Champaign Liquor License to verify that their patrons are of the legal entry and drinking age. Driver’s licenses or permits, state ID cards, Armed Forces identifications and passports all constitute lawful uses of identification, according to Sec. 5-66 of the city’s liquor code. However, it does not require licensed establishments to accept the specific identification listed. “Beyond that, the city liquor code does not address what forms of ID the bars have to require or get into any of the details of how or why they determine someone is of legal age,” Roeschley said. “Our code is silent of whether an international ID is acceptable or not acceptable.”
Roeschley is unaware of any bars accused of practicing discrimination. Champaign’s sergeant of alcohol enforcement Joe Ketchum also defended the bar’s ability to deny entrance to whoever they choose. He argued that these bars don’t accept international IDs because they can’t detect their authenticity. “I’m going to guess though that maybe some of the IDs are not in English, so they can’t read them, so they try to match them up to an I-card or a passport,” Ketchum said. “Some of the international IDs are easy to be made fake, so they’re a little bit more careful about that.” Ketchum also raised concern about students sharing international IDs to get into bars. He recommended students talk to the bars directly if they feel they are being discriminated against. “There’s no crime being committed,” Ketchum said. “But you have to understand as a business they can deny entry to anyone they want to, especially when they’re trying to be careful not to let 18-year-olds or people underaged in to drink and things like that.” Though he believes the management at The Clybourne and The Red Lion aren’t discriminating based on race, Khushalani said their denial of international IDs is still discrimination. Khushalani claims the bars are never willing to give an answer, including general managers. “All I get (for) a reply is, ‘This is our new policy.’ That isn’t enough for me,” he said. “I shouldn’t be nervous to get into a bar because I know I’m allowed to be inside.”

From his time on Saturday Night Live to Rihanna and Drake’s relationship, Jay Pharoah addressed a wide array of topics on Tuesday night. He spoke to a student crowd at Anniversary Plaza as part of the Illini Union Board’s Homecoming Comedy Show. During his stand-up, Pharoah made sure to address the 2016 presidential election. “Whether you agree with (Hillary Clinton’s) policies or not, she’s a woman running
for president, and we’ve never seen that before,” Pharoah said.” “That’s dope.” Illini Union Board representatives introduced Pharoah while on a stage constructed for the event. However, upon his entrance, Pharoah immediately jumped off. He wanted to get closer to the audience, which is where he stood for the duration of his routine. In addition to his notable Jay-Z and President Barack Obama impressions, music dominated his routine. He impersonated Eminem and

Kanye West for their unique rapping styles. Pharoah also performed his own rap number, which received high praise from the audience. The process of bringing Pharoah to campus first started last homecoming for Union Board Vice President for Programming and senior in AHS Isabel Kadiri. Students requested a big comedian come to campus for homecoming. “That’s one thing we definitely made a focus as soon as homecoming was over last year: working on ways we could really implement student feedback and input into one of the most celebrated times at Illinois,” Kadiri said. While best known for his his time on Saturday Night Live, Pharoah left the show in August. He’s currently working on a Showtime pilot White Famous alongside fellow comedian Jamie Foxx. The project centers on a black comedian balancing his personal identity while breaking into mainstream media. “We think he’s absolutely hilarious from his impressions to his jokes, and just being an overall funny man,” Kadiri said. “We thought he would be great to bring to campus.” As part of the University’s homecoming celebration, the comedy show served as Tuesday’s main event. Upcoming events include a three-night concert series at the State Farm Center featuring Dierks Bentley, Pentatonix and The 1975. For a full list of events, check out the homecoming schedule.

Dennis Rich, sophomore in Engineering, said his motivation for voting early is that it’s important to keep the opportunities for voters equal. “I think it’s important that my vote be counted just as much as a person who has the ability to transport themselves with a car to the polling places and I feel like it’s possibly true that people without a car are underrepresented. So, early voting is a lot easier for me personally,” Rich said. Jessica Berbey, Gillian Dunlop and Megan Jones all contributed to this report.
EARLY VOTING Funari said. “We (only) provide them with the room that they need, tables and chairs.” All early voting locations are not charging the Champaign County to use their facilities; however, Hulten requested a $100,000 increase in the budget to prepare for the November election overall. Many students have already utilized the early voting location in the Illini Union basement and cast their ballots. Alondra Flores, a junior in LAS, said she felt now
was a prime time for her to take action. “I wanted to get it out of the way,” Flores said. “Like I feel like if I don’t vote right now, later I’ll probably get too busy or lazy to come so I think it’s important for me to come right now where I have time.” Jerome Williams II. is also a junior in LAS. His motivation for early voting came from just walking by the Union. “Well, actually, I was just walking by and I saw that it was open,” Williams II. said. “I know that on the actual election day, the lines are going to be very, extremely long so I might as well just get it done now.”

Alumni salaries post-graduation ranked amongst best in nation BY OLIVIA OKOCHA STAFF WRITER
University alumni are in the top 50 for large universities and colleges who make the most money, according to a recent ranking. Illinois placed 16th in the nation, with a median annual salary earning of $56,600, according to
a ranking by educational information site StartClass. This ranking did not surprise Jill Smart, president of the National Academy of Human Resources and alumni of Illinois Class of 1981. “We have such a diverse set of opportunities for students,” Smart said in an
email. “We balance classroom with practical experience, and we have a pervasive work ethic that I think students carry with them throughout their career.” There are 44, 80 students enrolled in the University for the fall semester. “While some may see the size of our University as

BAR RAIDS because that’s when the freshmen are usually there and you really need to make a … presence known.” Champaign Police tend to do more bar checks in the fall semester, he said, because students are more likely to go to the bars to drink during football season. “People don’t go to a basketball game and then they all show up at a bar and drink,” he said. “At a football game, they do.” Patrick Wade, University Police spokesperson, said there has been no increase in the number of drinking tickets handed out recently. “In the past few years, there’s actually been a decrease,” he said.

(their) attention” on The Canopy Club, the only bar in their jurisdiction. Ketchem said it’s possible some students may feel like they see officers at the bars more often because certain bars on campus are checked more than others. “Maybe some of the kids might see us in certain bars more because I have to allocate our resources to the problem,” he said. Hassiepen said he noticed certain bars would have a police presence more often than others. “I feel like Red Lion would always get hit on the weekends,” he said. “It sticks out to me that Red Lion was always kind of number one.” The bars that are known to have more problems with underage drinking are where Champaign Police tend to focus their efforts, Ketchem said. “Because if I go into a business like Legend’s, or

Murphy’s, or Firehaus, very seldom are there any problems, any fights, any drugs … so we never have to worry about them,” he said. “So when I go into Red Lion, or go into Kam’s, or I go into Clybourne’s and I get 18-year-olds out of there, that’s where my problems are.” Cha mpa ig n Police, Ketchem said, have not increased their number of patrol officers at bars, either. “We’ve not done anymore bar checks than what we’ve normally done in the past,” he said. Hassiepen said he hasn’t noticed a change in the number of bar raids either. However, he feels that “our undergrad class … goes sort of hard on the weekends, so I feel like that’s kind of their main target,” Hassiepen said. The amount of resources that are available to be allocated toward policing underage drinking depends largely on the department’s budget, Ketchem said. In the past, the department had an underage drinking grant which allowed them to more actively police the problem. “But over the last few years it’s kind of evened out to where we’re just normal,” Ketchem said.

various career opportunities and training. “We do a really good job of integrating real-life scenarios and pieces within the classroom and then also providing those through ... consulting groups, clubs or organizations,” Newell said. From job shadows to various field trips and immersion events, she thinks students benefit from a large campus with numerous resources. The University’s Alumni Association also plays a strong role for both current and past students, Newell said. Alumni with their own businesses can refer back to University students when hiring for jobs and internships. “We get a lot of former students who will say that they really want to get more Economics students in that company, or they want to make sure that Illinois students are there if a certain company is recruiting at a different neighboring school,” Newell said. Illinois students stand out for general assets, traits, and characteristics from other students at other schools, said Bill Forsyth, president and founder of Frontier Partners and UI
Alumni Association board member. “I’ve learned that people from across the country and around the world are drawn to Midwesterners, because we are typically grounded, reasonable and sensible,” Forsyth said in an email. Many others agree and believe Illinois students specifically hold certain values that can be seen on campus, including Nerija Cuplinskas, freshman in LAS. She credits students for their acceptance of diversity. “That’s very important to accept everyone for how hard they work, and the effort they’re putting in,” Cuplinskas said. “I think that U of I definitely does that.” The University notably promotes diversity through the “Inclusive Illinois” campaign. Cuplinskas believes this can make Illinois students more successful. “I think we are going be more accepting of everyone else,” Cuplinskas said. “And more willing to see what they have to bring to the table instead of immediately turning them down.”

ANXIETY ative voting,’ where an individual’s vote choice is against a candidate rather than for a candidate, is playing a greater role this year than in some previous elections,” Ksiazkiewicz said. “Again, since this departs from how we usually think of elections as a proactive choice for who should lead the country, this may be a source of stress for some voters.” One study, conducted by the Pew Research Center, shows that there is a growing dissatisfaction with both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The study draws on the data findings that people are more likely to vote for a candidate simply because they dislike the other candidate. Thirty-three percent of Trump supporters and 32 percent of Clinton supporters are voting in opposition to the other candidate, according to the Pew study. The use of social media is also a contributing factor to what some psychologists are calling “Election Stress Disorder.” Thirty-eight percent of adults reported that encountering political posts online is a stressor. Adults who use social media are also more likely to face an increase in election-related stress or anxiety. Yuxin Shi, the vice president of Stress Management Peers organization on campus, said no students have come to talk about election-

Voting in this year’s election has been a source of anxiety for many students. related stress, but she does notice the stressor amongst her international peers. The stress mostly stems from the uncertainty of the future of immigration, since both candidates have dramatically different plans. “The worry has created some level of anxiety and confusion, especially for those who plan to stay and have career development in the U.S. after school,” Shi said. There are currently 10,700 international students enrolled at the University, according to the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations. Most of the international students do not have voting rights in the United States, so many are unable to participate in the democratic process. Shi said the inability to cast a vote in the election is a cause for stress.
Stress management coordinator at McKinley Health Center Jennifer Carson recommends that students who are facing an increase in stress should schedule an individual appointment with either her or the Counseling Center. Carson also said students should have a healthy routine in place in case they experience a rise in stress, which can take a toll on students’ overall well-being. “Generally when someone’s stress levels are higher, whether it is due to the elections or other concerns, they are more susceptible to illness,” Carson said. “Making sure one consistently is meeting their personal needs can help prepare them for times when stress levels rise so they can cope better and recover more quickly.”

intimidating, once you are here you realize it is not at all and in fact the different parts of the university provide so much opportunity to collaborate and approach education from different perspectives,” Smart said. Part of this benefit can be the high ranking of the colleges of Engineering and Business. Both the Engineering and Business schools are among the best in the nation, according to U.S. News. The effect of a University degree continues past graduation for Ronald Watkins, senior assistant dean in the College of Business. Employers notice the school’s high ranking colleges, he said. “This helps bring more jobs for all the colleges on campus and it makes it more competitive for employers which drives up salaries,” Watkins said in an email.

EDITORIAL To thy happy children (of the present), I know my inscription talks about the children of the future, but I’ll write to them when they get to campus. Right now, it’s all about you, and you have a busy weekend ahead. Homecoming, Halloween and the World Series — Go Cubs Go — all in a threeday span? Yikes. But don’t panic! We can do this. Our family has championed weekends like this for longer than I can remember. Illini are tough, and Illini don’t quit, either, which means you need to prepare and pace yourself. Maybe, just maybe, you should stay in on Thursday — I know you love your brothers, but you can share Long Islands with them next week. You know, you could just make sure your assignments are all done for Monday, catch up on your shows, exfoliate, get a good night’s sleep … just a thought. On Friday, make yourself a good, hearty breakfast. I’m sorry I’ll be at work, welcoming people to campus, but you know I’d love

hether you’re a STEM major, painting major or anything in between, making an active effort to become culturally literate is definitely worth your time. If you don’t, you risk demonstrating absentmindedness to everyone around you, wallowing in your immaturity in not keeping up with society. A clear benefit of cultural literacy is that by understanding and participating fluently in a given culture, your social mobility increases as you’re able to comfortably converse with people around you, including employers and professors, about issues happening in the world. Additionally, a more indirect benefit also exists. Cultural literacy expands your creativity. Creativity stems from forming new ideas by connecting existing concepts. These ideas don’t need to be grand or revolutionary, but they must be new. Steve Jobs hit the nail on the head when he said: “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.” How well we create depends on how much we know. And we can’t solve problems without knowledge. Being fluently aware of
the nuances of culture, from references to past events to culturally-conditioned allusions, adds to one’s mental toolbox of existing concepts. The knowledge of whatever meme is popular right now, or whoever you must absolutely be following on Twitter, is expanding your creativity and problemsolving skills. You don’t need an impressive IQ to be creative, as creativity goes beyond the intelligence frame. Your ability to make seemingly random connections between concepts is what matters. Making an effort to remain or become more culturally literate is important. Understanding society well enough helps you value it. You’re bettering yourself by pursuing new experiences and knowledge and remaining present in society. Keeping up with film and art, for example, helps us better understand where cultural values and principles currently lie. Through this we can better understand how society is improving, changing and advancing. A certain amount of cultural literacy is demanded in today’s world. No one looks forward to being on the periphery of a conversation about the meaning and importance of a movie scene you haven’t personally seen. So if you have time, maybe watch that movie you overheard the two people next to you in lecture discussing eagerly, or pick up that book your exboyfriend once passively recommended.
How well we create depends on how much we know. And we can’t solve problems without knowledge.

to be making my world-famous pancakes for you instead. Follow that up with a solid lunch and dinner — this is important for Saturday, too, honey. My lessons are almost always universal. I think we’ve covered safe and smart drinking enough in your years here, so just remember the basics and be careful. Now, about that Halloween costume. According to my Apple Weather app, it’s going to be a little chilly out there. Just bring a sweater, OK? I know, I know, witches don’t wear sweaters, but you’re a trendsetter! Wear a sweater and next Halloween, people will completely skip the witch costume and just dress up as sweaters. I promise. And don’t forget to keep your costume appropriate — don’t wear anything Alma wouldn’t approve of. Finally, if you want to have friends over, that’s totally fine, just please don’t make too much of a mess. You’re always so helpful around the house, and I appreciate it so much, but when you drink, well, you’re kind of a slob. The Main Quad is the nic-
est room in our home; you really shouldn’t bring garbage around there anyway. And I know the nice folks over at Cracked would be horrified to know that you just toss your tinfoil somewhere in Frat Park after you finish your Morning Bender. One day I won’t be around to pick up after you, and what are you going to do then? Live in a pile of garbage, seriously contributing to the rapidly increasing temperature of our planet? Speaking of heat, is it hot in here? I feel like it’s a little hot in here. Alright. So, remember, eat well, pace yourself, dress for the weather and clean up after yourself, got it? Thanks for listening. Have fun this weekend! Be good! P.S. Can you help me figure out why my phone keeps Facetiming people from my pocket?

New Instagram feature prompts users to consider their friends’ mental health HAYLEY NAGELBERG Opinions columnist
D
o you remember the fi rst time you saw a headline about a man walking alone up the Golden Gate Bridge and knew what it meant? Do you remember seeing a picture of a semicolon on a girl’s wrist sneaking out through her long sleeve shirt that was covering faded red marks, and understanding what that stood for? The phrase, “if you see something, say something,” is commonly overheard in subway stations and airports, and it is likely that you understand the importance of this announcement. It is also likely you have been taught to notice the signs of alcohol poisoning and take measures to ensure the safety of the affected person. It is also highly probable that you have been informed how to answer when someone tells you they are a survivor of sexual assault. But what about when there aren’t physical signs that something is out of order?
Instagram recently announced they would be taking measures to try and address this very topic. While social media is often written off as a facade of reality, there is actually a lot to be gleaned from the emoji and hashtag usage your friend posts along with their most recently fi ltered picture. If you are scrolling through Instagram and see an image of a friend that causes you to think something is wrong, you can now anonymously flag the image and have it reviewed by a team of experts who can direct the user to people who can help him or her. If an image is flagged, the poster will get a message that says, “Can we help? Someone saw one of your posts and thinks you might be going through a difficult time. If you need support, we’d like to help.” They will then be prompted to pick between talking to a friend, contacting a helpline or viewing tips and support. In high school, I slept with my phone on my pillow waiting for the phone call from a friend who said they sometimes just wanted someone to be
there when they couldn’t sleep at night. In college, I was told to observe the way the mood of the campus would change during fi nals week, and to be on the lookout for someone that may just need to talk at any hour. I never had an issue keeping my phone by me at night, and I can definitely notice and observe the shadow that fi lls campus during exam time, but I’ve never had the words to say what was needed. To address this issue, Instagram has partnered with networks such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the National Eating Disorders Association in addition to over 40 organizations around the world who provide support to people considering self-harm. And the timing of Instagram’s new feature is ideal given the large number of students affected by issues of mental health. In 2015, the National College Health Assessment came out with statistics on various health and medical matters on campuses. The report found that more than 60 percent of students reported feeling “very sad” in the last year, more than 30 per-
cent “felt so depressed that it was difficult to function,” and between 8 and 9 percent “seriously considered suicide.” (Source) We don’t need to talk in code about mental conditions any longer. If you see something, hear something, feel something or believe something — say something. Learn about different mental conditions and how to respond accordingly. Show your friends they are not alone even if they think they are. There’s no cure-all medicine for mental illness. No two cases are the same, and the way they are addressed must respond to the needs of the individual. It is incredibly crucial that college students be taught to not only be aware of the well-being of our peers physically, but mentally as well. And to begin to play an active role in addressing problems. Instagram’s new feature, while not the end of the conversation, is a huge step in the right direction.

Students celebrate more than the typical Halloween party BY MARY KATE KILEY CONTRIBUTING WRITER
This weekend, students across campus will be attending Halloween parties, dressed up in elaborate costumes. However, some
students will be spending their Halloween a little bit differently. The University Ice Arena will be hosting their annual “Spooky Skate,” for both students and C-U commu-
nity members this Sunday from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Julia Ghering, junior in AHS, is looking forward to her third year at “Spooky Skate.” “It’s open to everyone

and the cost is $2 for students,” Ghering said. “It’s free if you dress up, and I will be dressing as Where’s Waldo.” Ghering initially heard about the event her freshman year through friends in her dorm and has attended ever since. Many students have already RSVP’d on the Facebook event created by the University Ice Arena. “It’s a lot of fun. They play Halloween music, you get to dress up, and it’s a good way to take a break in the heat of midterms,” Ghering said. “It’s just a great way to get in the spirit of Halloween.” Downtown Champaign is also hosting a number of events at local restaurants that students are participating in. Radio Maria, a local bar and restaurant, is hosting a “Trick & Treat” event offering drink deals and a costume contest. Winners of the costume competition will receive a $25 gift certificate to Ragstock and a $15 bar tab for the night. The event will be hosted from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m Monday. Eve Mason, senior in LAS, said she is looking forward to the Radio Maria event which she is attending with her friends. “When I go out I like to go Downtown. It’s more of an adult feel and different
from campus apartment and frat parties,” Mason said. The event has more than just competitions and prizes; there will be three local DJs scheduled to play different themed sets. Mason’s friend will be hosting the event, which is another incentive for her to attend. She describes herself as a regular at Radio

Maria when she goes out on weekends in the Downtown Champaign area. “They are clearing the entire restaurant so people can dance to the music,” Mason said. “The atmosphere will be more energetic than a regular day.” Radio Maria often hosts events year-round, though the Halloween party hosted this year is a new addition to the schedule. Illini Hillel has coordi-
nated its third annual Halloween barn dance at Farm Lake on Nov. 3. Eitan Troyansky, junior in LAS, is in charge of the event and urged students to attend. “It’s a good time and not a religious-specific event, although Hillel is a religious organization,” Troyansky said. The event is open to all ages and alcoholic drinks will be available to those who are 21 and older. There is also a Facebook event for the dance where students can make song requests for the night. Troyansky said the event is not date-specific and is not affi liated with Greek life. This will be Troyanksy’s second Halloween barn dance with Hillel, and he is looking forward to meeting up with friends. The events in the past have had a good turnout and people seem to enjoy them. Troyansky said that 120 students attended the fi rst year and nearly 100 students attended last year. “Halloween is a good opportunity to host a big event,” Troyansky said. “Barn dances are popular around campus, so it seemed like a good idea to have one.”

Community encourages aviation history appreciation BY KAYLA GUO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Seventy-five years ago marked the formation of the 99th Pursuit Squadron at the Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul. A portion of these men would go on to make history in WWII under the nickname of the Tuskegee Airmen, the Army Air Force's fi rst African-American fighter squadron. Less than 30 years later, man would set foot on the moon with the help of aviation technology. November is Aviation History Month, which gives people a chance to commemorate past milestones in the development of mechanical fl ight and to recognize current innovations. The University campus and the surrounding community promotes aviation history with a variety of clubs. “When the Chanute base closed, the town of Rantoul helped with the formation of Chanute Air Museum,” said Carson Vericker, Rantoul airport operations supervisor. “It opened in 1994 and was a combination of general aviation and military aviation. The museum stayed in operation until
November 2015.” Gianna Ciaglia, freshman in Engineering, developed a passion for space and astronomy early on in her life after growing up next to Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado. “I’m used to having all these aircrafts flying

around my house,” Ciaglia said. “Also, when I was young, my dad and I used to bond over building model airplanes.” Ciaglia received a congressional nomination to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy, but decided not to complete her application, instead opting to join the aerospace program at the University. She currently serves as a representative on the Illinois Aerospace Engineer-
ing Undergraduate Advisory Board and is involved with the Illinois Space Society. Illinois Space Society is an organization that strives to educate the surrounding community in the field of space exploration and to build a network of people interested in space. Along with Illinois Space Society, organizations like Student Space Systems are encouraging students to pioneer the field of aviation. “The organization is trying to launch a rocket 1,000 kilometers, which is a really hard endeavor,” said Scott Zelman, senior in Engineering. Zelman also pointed out other impressive studentled groups on campus like Student Aircraft Builders. The team is currently building a functional plane with a 30-foot wingspan, scheduled for completion early next year. “They do everything from designing the wings to building the engine,” Zelman said. Zelman said one of his role models in the field of aviation is Elon Musk. Musk has envisioned a 21st century transportation service called the Hyperloop, which would be a high- speed sys-

tem for transporting passengers and goods. This past year, a group of University seniors competed to design a Hyperloop pod for SpaceX, a company founded by Musk that designs, builds and launches spacecraft. Although such advanced
technologies as the Hyperloop have not yet been refined for commercial use, the room for aviation exploration is limitless. Simply looking at how far aviation has come in less than a century is proof of its potential. “I do believe it’s impor-
tant to preserve aviation history,” Vericker said. “That is why with every aircraft that lands at Rantoul, I do let them know that this is a former air base with a deep rich history in aviation.”

The Illini Inn, a historical campus bar rich in tradition, as it was years ago as opposed to the present day. A nostalgic community of “Mug Club” members and other various alumni often visit the Inn when attending football games on campus. Despite rumors over this past summer of its closing, new management provides some hope for the future of this unofficial school monument.
BY OLIVIA BIENVENUE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It’s a cool, crisp, fall game day at the University. Waves of anticipation and pride are sweeping across the orange- and blue-painted campus. It is the perfect atmosphere to win a Big Ten football game and to enjoy a mug of beer at the Illini Inn. The Illini Inn has undergone some changes over the past year, including closing over the summer. The Inn is one of the oldest bars on campus and is known for its longstanding traditions, but rumors of its closing have put some its beloved traditions in jeopardy. The Illini Inn is home to the University’s well-known Mug Club, which now has more than 92,000 members and counting. To be a member of the nonexclusive club, one must first chug a cup of beer. The next step is to fill out a membership card and memorize their assigned Mug Club number. The person is then given a mug of beer to drink at their own pace. Finally, the person must correctly recite their Mug Club number and will then be an official member. Members earn the right
to use a mug for their beer anytime they come into the bar with their membership cards. “I know we’ve had some old people come in with Mug Club cards in the hundreds, so it’s been a while,” said Meredith French, senior in Business and bartender at the Illini Inn. Until this year, one of the most notable features of the Illini Inn was the dollar bills that were signed and pinned to the ceiling by customers. Another recognizable feature of the Inn is the signatures and doodles that customers are welcome to draw on the walls. Dave Grider, who has been the manager of the Inn since it reopened at the beginning of the school year, said his favorite thing about the bar is its long history. He also noted that the Illini Inn’s traditions, like the Mug Club, are what people like about the bar. “There’s a nostalgia to the Inn that keeps people coming back,” Grider said. Illini Inn bartender Cole Murray said the Inn does not change often, but that people liked that aspect of the bar. “Honestly, I don’t think it’s
changed much at all, and I think that’s why people come in,” Murray said. Murray also said that people would often come in to look for their dollar bill on the ceiling, their signature on the wall, or just to reminisce. One thing that has changed about the Illini Inn this year is the ownership. Along with the new ownership came new hours of business and the removal of the dollar bills on the ceiling. At the end of last school year, there were rumors that the Inn would be closed, and that the building would be torn down. However, the bar was bought by a new owner and given life for at least one more year. “The Inn is going to be open through the end of the school year,” Grider said about the rumors of the Inn’s closure. French added that the future of the Inn after this school year is uncertain. “That’s about as accurate as we can get right now, so we know that it’s going to stay open for that long,” she said.

State Farm Center hosts concert-filled weekend; first concert since renovation BY ABIGAIL PAETH ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Karsen Kopmann grew up watching concerts at State Farm Center, but since he’s been a student, things have changed. The junior in FAA attended so many concerts in what was then called the Assembly Hall that he can’t remember exactly who performed. Despite his frequent attendance as a youth and currently as a cheerleader at Illinois men’s basketball games, Kopmann has never been to a concert at the arena as a student. He’ll finally get his chance Thursday when Dierks Bentley performs the arena’s first concert in over two years. “It’s honestly awesome because I’ve always wanted to have concerts while I was here in college, and I’ve been waiting for it to happen again,” Kopmann said. Students and community
members from all over Central Illinois will flood into the newly renovated State Farm Center for its first concert since 2014. Country star Dierks Bentley will be the first of three concerts happening this weekend — Bentley will start the weekend Thursday night, The 1975 will play Friday night and Pentatonix will perform Saturday. Darius Rucker was the last performance held at State Farm Center before the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics started the projected $169.5 million renovation over two years ago. State Farm Center is the third-largest arena in Illinois behind the United Center in Chicago and the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, which is in the Chicagoland area. The arena has a 15,000-person capacity for basketball games;
however, the capacity will be about 9,000 for the concerts because of the staging configuration. New renovations at State Farm Center have brought some considerable changes to the arena, including wheelchair accessibility, new bathrooms on the upper level concourses, new concession stands and air conditioning for the entire arena. Other upgrades include enhanced dressing rooms and an updated backstage area, which makes the arena more desirable for artists to come perform. “We want (performers) to choose to come to Champaign and come to State Farm Center as opposed to going somewhere in Peoria, Bloomington or Springfield because we have the newest and best arena available in the Central Illinois market,” said Brad Swanson, assistant director
of marketing and sales at State Farm Center. That availability is how those managing State Farm Center strive to bring a variety of acts to campus to attract a more diverse audience. During this academic year, performance genres range from country, rock, hip-hop, a cappella and even a Christmas special. Some performances will allow for student discounts, but the artist decides whether those discounts will apply to their show. Sara Lemenager, junior in ACES, will attend the Dierks Bentley show and take advantage of what she considers a great opportunity for the area. “(The arena) shows that we have an amazing draw for bigger names that are willing to come out to the middle of nowhere,” Lemenager said. Since Thursday is the first
performance in over two years, the Class of 2017 is the only current class that would have had the opportunity to attend a concert in the past. Much has changed since the Darius Rucker concert, and Swanson hopes that students who’ve seen past performances can enjoy the vast differences in the new concert experience. “I think they’ll notice the upgrades that have been done to the building, and hopefully they appreciate that and have a better experience as a fan,” Swanson said. Swanson and his staff have also battled with the struggle of informing underclassmen on the upcoming performances because they might not have previously known that large concerts are performed on campus, especially at an arena the size of the State Farm Center. “We’re going to have to
educate students that we are a major concert venue and that we’re really convenient for them and that they can come see the biggest acts in music literally blocks away from their dorms or apartments,” Swanson said. Kopmann thinks the renovation unites students on campus with the rest of the community because it will help everyone bond over a shared interest. He also said he likes having a large arena on campus because it eliminates having to travel to Peoria or the Chicago area to see popular artists. “We’re a first-class facility. I think anytime you have facilities that can compete nationally as far as the quality and the amount of investments that are put into them, it reflects well on the institution,” Swanson said.

Illinois excited to be on right side of Homecoming
ILLINOIS HOMECOMING comes to Memorial Stadium next week, Illinois will finally get its opportunity to be the good guys in front of a Homecoming crowd. “Homecoming is selfexplanatory,” Foster said. “Alumni come back, and we want to show our alumni what kind of football team we are. Coach Smith is preaching that, and the staff is preaching that, and we need to come out guns blazing and play our game and finally perform to our potential.” The Illini enter their Homecoming game following a two-game road stint, beating the Scarlet Knights but losing to the Wolverines. Minnesota has won its last
BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Illinois running back Kendrick Foster has walked out of the tunnel three times this season to the roar of a Homecoming crowd. The stands were packed each game with family, friends, students and alumni decked out in school colors who came back to cheer on their favorite team. But they weren’t cheering for Foster, or any of the Illini for that matter, and they weren’t wearing orange. This season, Illinois has been Nebraska’s, Rutgers’ and Michigan’s Homecoming opponent. But when Minnesota
two games against Maryland and Rutgers. The Gophers are a familiar opponent for the Illini on homecoming. This will be Illinois' 106th Homecoming, and Minnesota has been the opponent 18 times — the most out of all of Illinois’ past homecoming opponents. The Illini are winning the series 9-7-1, with the 18th game to be played Saturday. The last time the Illini played the Gophers on Homecoming was in 2014, when Illinois won to help secure a bowl bid for that season. Offensive lineman Joe Spencer was a sophomore that year, and he's now prepping for his last Homecoming
game. “It will be nice to be back home in Memorial Stadium, especially for Homecoming,” Spencer said. ‘There’s a lot of excitement and a lot of guys coming back and former alumni, so that’s a special experience, especially for your senior Homecoming.” Minnesota will be trying to do the same thing that Illinois has been trying to do the past few weeks — spoil the opponent’s Homecoming celebration, which has been done more often than not in the Illini’s 106-year Homecoming history: The Illini have an all-time record of 45-58-2 on Homecoming. Linebacker Hardy Nick-
erson said that there was always a part of him that was trying to wreck Homecoming for the opponent the last few weeks, but he’s ready to finally have the crowd behind him. “There’s a little bit of extra motivation to spoil the opponent’s Homecoming, but it’s no different really when you are at an opponent’s Homecoming,” Nickerson said. “But I’m looking forward to our Homecoming and putting on a show for our fans.” Homecoming is all about tradition for Illinois. The first Illinois homecoming football game was held back in 1910. Nickerson is a graduate transfer, so his teammates
have caught him up on some of the newer traditions that have started in recent years — like wearing the “Galloping Ghost” gray uniforms to every Homecoming game. After playing three Homecomings this season, Foster is ready to embrace the Illini's traditions and have their fans' support. “It is different because you have family here, and you have their whole Illini family here,” Foster said. “When you go to another homecoming it is you against them, and here you have everyone supporting you.”

Banged-up Illini face familiar Homecoming foe Golden Gophers BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Malik Turner had a career game against Minnesota last season. He caught 11 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown. Those 11 receptions remain a career-high for the junior, but those numbers are not the first thing he remembers when he thinks back on that game. “I only remember losing,” he said. The Illini fell to the Gophers 32-23 last November, and Turner has not forgotten. He'll get his shot at payback this weekend when the Gophers come to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. While most of his team has
seen this Minnesota (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) team before, head coach Lovie Smith said he has been impressed with them. “They play good football; defensively they play hard," Smith said. "That is the first thing you notice, is how hard a team plays. They do. They don’t do a lot of different things, but what they do do, they do well. Offensively, it is a combination of some of the offenses we have played before.” After a two-week road stint, the Illini (2-5, 1-3 Big Ten) return to Champaign after a bad loss to Michigan at the Big House. The Michigan defense shut down quarterback Jeff George Jr. in his first career start.
George only completed four passes out of 15 attempts and threw for one touchdown in the game. Turner caught two of the passes and the touchdown from George. Smith said that George's play was expected, but if George is called on to start the game against Minnesota, Smith thinks he will have a better performance. “I think traditionally yes, you get (a better second start),” Smith said. “You have to have a first game, but you can only prepare them only so far. But when you get out in the game you learn an awful lot about how life is under center.” Smith has not revealed who will start Saturday,
but he said during Monday’s press conference that his staff had a good idea of which quarterbacks he would have available on Saturday. While the Illini are hindered at quarterback, the team’s trio of running backs are ready for Homecoming. Ke’Shawn Vaughn, Reggie Corbin and Kendrick Foster are averaging 5.2, 8.4 and 6.1 yards per carry respectively on a combined 160 rushing attempts. They will go up against a Minnesota defensive line that is allowing 135.9 rushing yards per game. On the opposite side of the ball, the Illini defense will have to contain running back Rodney Smith. The sopho-
more is Minnesota’s leading rusher, averaging 100 rushing yards per game, and scoring eight touchdowns in the process. The trio of Illinois running backs has scored eight touchdowns combined. The Illini defense will have to deal with Davis without linebacker Tre Watson in the first half. Watson was ejected from the game against Michigan in the second half because of a targeting penalty, and will have to sit out the first half of the Minnesota game before being allowed back on the field. “Tre has been one of those guys that we have locked in with,” Smith said. “But when you break the rules
that is what happens. You get penalized. It's not like it was in dispute with that call. Those penalties do hurt you and they do have a lasting effect.” Smith is treating Watson’s first-half suspension like an injury and embracing a next man up mentality to fill in for Watson. His ultimate goal is to have his team play well for the homecoming crowd. “We have a lot of people who really love our University, and part of them having a successful homecoming weekend is how their football team performs.”

Abrams, Illini ready for trip back to Maui THE DAILY ILLINI SPORTS STAFF
The Illinois men’s basketball team will travel to Maui, Hawaii, to play in the annual Maui Jim Invitational in November 2018. Games are scheduled to be played in Maui’s famous Lahaina Civic Center, and will feature eight Division I teams. In addition to Illinois, the teams include Duke, Gonzaga, Xavier, Iowa State, San Diego State, Arizona and Auburn. The tournament’s fi eld has been recognized as “the strongest ever,” by tournament chairman Dave Odom. The numbers support Odom’s statement.
Six of the eight teams competing have made the NCAA tournament in recent years; Duke has won the Maui Jim Invitational fi ve times, and won the NCA A Championship in 2015. The Maui Jim Invitational is consistently seen as one of the top preseason tournaments of college basketball and annually features teams who are poised to make runs in the NCAA tournament. This is Illinois’ fi fth time competing in the tournament — the Illini last won in 2012.

As a high school All-American, senior outside hitter Michelle Strizak has been a gifted volleyball player for a long time. Despite being a six-rotation starter through high school, the college game was a major step up for her. “One of my greatest strengths was seeing the ball, but the college game was so much different,” Strizak said. Luckily for her, when she arrived, the Illini didn’t need her to be a starter because they already had Jocelynn Birks at that position. This gave head coach Kevin Hambly time to make adjustments to Strizak’s game before he had to play her every day. “She’s always been a good jumper, but we’ve had to change everything about her arm swing, everything about her approach,” Hambly said. “She wasn’t a (good enough) six-rotation player, and she needed to learn how to become that. She’s changed in every way that you could possibly change.” While Strizak will be remembered mostly as an offensive weapon for the Illini, her defensive achievements shouldn’t be ignored. Strizak recorded a career-high 19 digs against Purdue on Saturday, bettering her previous high of nine. In her second year as a regular for the Illini, Strizak’s digs per set and blocks per set have both increased. “She’s obviously improved over the last few years (defensively),” Hambly said. “Last year she really struggled at defense. She’s gotten a lot better. We took her out of middle-back and put her in right-back and she really thrived there.” This is Strizak’s last chance to make it past the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament, but unlike some other players, Strizak hasn’t set any personal goals for her senior year. Leadership has been an important quality for Strizak and her fellow

seniors, as the team features a large class of freshmen to supplement the returning players. That youth was a hindrance for the Illini earlier in the season, as the team started 2-4. “We had a little bit of a rough beginning as a team, but we were pretty young,” Strizak said. “And honestly the improvements we’ve made as a team have been way more than I’ve ever experienced in my four years here.” The Illini have only lost three games since that opening skid and have improved in all areas of the game. If they continue to improve, this squad might finally move past the Sweet Sixteen and earn a trip that, for Strizak, would almost be a trip home. “I know that (the NCAA Final Four) is in Columbus, which is really close to where I’m from, so I have a lot of family that are always telling me, ‘You need to be in Columbus!’ But for now we just have to stay in the moment,” Strizak said.
However, if the Cincinnati-native does make the trip to nearby Columbus, it won’t be a championship trophy that she is seeking most. “Well I always wanted the (championship) hat,” Strizak said. “That’s what I see. The hats are so cool!”

With heavenly hosts watching from above, the Cubs will be just fine KEVIN MCCARTHY Illini football columnist
To
me, and so many others across Cubs’ nation, Tuesday means more than words can say. And it has nothing to do with baseball — it has to do with angels — but more on them in a moment. I’ve dreamed about this day as far back as I can remember: in my backyard, with a Wiffle ball bat in my hand, a lofty vision in my imagination and a love for the Chicago Cubs brewing in my heart. So vivid, so clear. I turned a patch of grass under a few maple trees into the Friendly Confines — oh, the imagination of a child. Pauley Square, a quaint street in my hometown, became the corner of Addison and Clark. Rather than 40,000 roaring fans, I had my mom taking the dog out, or my Dad leaving for work or my neighbor mowing the grass. Time stood still. Game seven of the World Series, bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, trailing by three runs. I can’t tell you how many times I hit that imaginary full-count pitch into the bleachers in left. “The Cubs have won the World
Series.” I remember many Saturday and Sunday afternoons when my Dad and I would grab our mini, portable battery operated Sony television, lie in the hammock together, and tune into the Cubs on WGN. With Len Kasper’s golden tenor ringing through a fuzzy speaker, I dreamed about a day I thought might never come. Lying in that old hammock, I’d ask my dad about the good ol’ days: when Ernie and Fergie played, when Santo and Williams played. We don’t fit in that hammock together anymore, but we’ve watched a whole lot of Cubs baseball together since then. I’ve had it bad since I was little. I got it from my dad, and he got it from his mom, my grandmother. God love her, she hardly ever missed a game. Come 1:20 p.m, that old television was on in the living room, and Pat Hughes would chime in from the kitchen on 720-AM. She waited 80 years, but they were never able to pull through for her. An anecdote: I met a young man walking around campus after the Cubs beat the Dodgers to head to the World Series. He told me the Cubs’ hat he was wearing was his grandmother’s, who just recently passed away at the age of 90. She was a life-long fan, and since

she passed he has worn that hat for each game, knowing that she’s watching with him from above, hoping for four more wins. In that moment, I stopped, thought a moment and smiled real big. I knew who my grandma had been watching the game with that night. I’m sure there were plenty of laughs, a whole lot of cheering, and even more talk about their children and their grandchildren. For Cubs fans, Saturday night transcended baseball. And I realize my story isn’t unique. Not even a little bit. But that’s what makes this Cubs fandom so special. It’s an indescribable bond. Tonight, we all will think of those we wish we could be watching with — grandma, grandpa, mom, pop, brother, sister, friend, husband or wife — we all have someone. I spoke with my mother on the phone before the game on Saturday, and she mentioned all of her “Cubs angels” that would be watching from Heaven. I know there are a lot of them. And when facing up with all the forces of evil — a black cat, a billy goat and some guy named Bartman — you need a lot of angels. With the heavenly host behind us, our Cubs should be alright. Four more wins would mean the final chapter in America’s

MALIK TURNER — WIDE RECEIVER
DREW WOLITARSKY — WIDE RECEIVER
Illinois’ top receiver Malik Turner has continued to stand out this season. Turner has back to back week with highlight reel catches and no matter the quarterback — he continues to be the top target. On the season he has 33 receptions for 513 yards and four touchdowns. The junior receiver is on pace to surpass his season high on catches which currently sits at 39. Additionally, he has also scored the most touchdowns ever in a season for himself. Despite his success, he has been limited to just four total catches in the last two weeks. If the Illini wish to get their offense going, look for Malik Turner to play a big role this week against the Golden Gopher secondary.

Though Golden Gopher quarterback Mitch Leidner has had his struggles this season, wideout Drew Wolitarsky has not let it hold him back. So far this season, Wolitarsky has hauled in 37 receptions for 450 yards and three touchdowns. The senior receiver has accounted for just over 35% of the team’s catches on the season, and has caught three of the team’s five total passing touchdowns. In a matchup with Illinois’s depleted secondary, Wolitarsky has the potential for a big game and can build on an already impressive season. The 6’3”, 220-pound receiver has successfully used his size to create space and reel in the big catches. If the Illini want a chance at a win on homecoming, they will have to keep Wolitarsky in check.

Smith’s best game game on the Gophers’ opening night when he rushed 25 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns against Oregon State.

The defensive lineman has put together an impressive season for having limited playing time. Milan has accumulated 18 total tackles and one sack on a defensive line that includes NFL Draft prospects Carroll Phillips and Dawuane Smoot. Opposing offensive lines have often double-teamed either Phillips or Smoot, which has opened up one-on-one opportunities for Milan and other linemen to take advantage. Milan will look to put pressure on Minnesota quarterback Mitch Leidner who has thrown five interceptions this season.
History
The Golden Gophers lead the all-time series, 36-29. The Illini’s largest margin of victory was 45 when they won 48-3 in 1984. The two teams have been to 18 bowl games apiece.

AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt looks to pass the ball during the first half of the game against Western Michigan at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 17. Who will start for the Illini on Saturday is still in question.
omecoming. Saturday’s game will be the fi rst game under head coach Lovie Smith that many Illinois alums see in-person. To some alums that I’ve talked with, Smith represents a shift: an illustrious NFL savior sent by the Whitman gods to right the Illini’s terrible football ship. The big draw of the annual weekend is the football game. It’s the tailgate, the crisp fall breeze, leaves falling, a burger and a beer (or more). In his weekly press conference, Smith said that for some alums, part of having a successful Homecoming weekend is how the team performs. While that’s true for alumni, for students it’s just another game this season. Maybe a win, but most are likely thinking it will just be another loss.
At this point, the game –is the furthest thing from most of students’ minds. It’s “Halloweekend.” Then, there’s the minor detail that the Chicago Cubs are in the World Series for the fi rst time in 71 years in case anyone has been living under a rock. To alums, it’s a chance to come back and relive their college days and, honestly, probably watch a team that was similarly terrible to when they were here. Smith views this game as winnable, and it probably is. By the wonderful whobeat-who logic, Minnesota barely escaped the Big Ten’s last place Rutgers last weekend in a 34-32 win. Illinois beat Rutgers in a 24-7 victory on the road. By that math, the Illini should come away with a win. But I was never very good at math, and these are the Illini, so Saturday is really a tossup. Saturday’s result will depend on the starting quarterback. If redshirt
freshman Jeff George Jr. is in the pocket in place of Wes Lunt or Chayce Crouch, expect a much closer score. Smith has kept his trademark injury silence going, so Lunt and Crouch’s status is unknown. After a shaky start at The Big House, he’ll defi nitely be more comfortable this week at home if he starts, and another Big Ten victory doesn’t seem implausible. The offense as a whole was extremely shaky and lacked cohesiveness. It will be interesting to see how another week helps this unit if George is the starter again. As a whole, the Illini should perform better against a team that isn’t No. 2 in the country. So, enjoy the game. If the Illini perform to par, there shouldn’t be a problem beating the Gophers. But as a whole, enjoy the weekend spending time with family and friends even more.

Across Enemy Lines: Q & A with The Minnesota Daily’s Mike Hendrickson The Daily Illini: How has quarterback Mitch Leidner progressed and does he have a shot at being an NFL draft pick? Mike Hendrickson: I think Leidner will be lucky to get drafted. I think by his standards, this has probably been his best season at Minnesota, but at the same time, his best game of the year was against Indiana State — that’s an FCS opponent. So in games that have mattered, he hasn’t been what he should be in order to get drafted. DI: With Minnesota’s two-headed running back attack of Shannon Brooks and Rodney Smith, how does the offense utilize them and how much does it rely on them? MH: For most of the season, Rodney Smith has gotten more carries, but that’s more due to Brooks having an injury that occurred some time in early August that kept him sidelined for the first two or three games. Smith this year has really established as one of the better running backs in the Big Ten, and last year, Brooks was better than Smith.
DI: Who stands out on the Minnesota defense?
Chayce Crouch or pocket passers like Wes Lunt or Jeff George?
MH: Some defensive linemen. Steven Richardson has been just great on defense for them this year as a defensive lineman, but he’s going through the concussion protocol and will likely miss the Illinois game. One of Minnesota’s oldest players, Damarius Travis, he’s a very strong safety — he’s probably their best player on defense just overall, just a great player for Minnesota.
MH: Definitely the running quarterback. I think they faced two running quarterbacks this season — Trace McSorely of Penn State and Giovanni Resigno of Rutgers. Both of those quarterbacks had good games. It seems they have had trouble with running quarterbacks, and it’s definitely an interesting matchup if Illinois goes with Crouch.
DI: Minnesota’s offensive line versus Illinois’ defensive line could be Saturday’s key matchup — how do see that panning out? MH: Minnesota’s O-line has been hit with a few injuries lately, but it looks like most of its guys are coming back. Arguably their best offensive lineman, Jonah Pirsig, is still out for the game against Illinois with a left arm injury. Minnesota didn’t rush for as many yards against Rutgers as I thought they would, so maybe that played into it as well. But I agree with you, the Minnesota O-line and the Illinois D-line is definitely one of the more interesting matchups of the game because Illinois’ D-line is so strong. DI: With Illinois’ quarterback situation up in the air, would Minnesota have more of a problem containing a running quarterback like
DI: Where does the legal situation stand with the five Minnesota players who aren’t able to play at home due to a restraining order stemming from a sexual assault case? MH: It’s a little murky still, but the two cornerbacks (of the five players accused) are KiAnte Hardin and Ray Buford. When these issues first came to light, they were suspended for three games by Tracy Claeys and then were brought back. Claeys has said they’re going to play their best 11 players that are active and he said that all the players with restraining orders are active because they can be for away games. KiAnte Hardin is the main one because he’s listed as a stater for the Illinois game as its starting cornerback and as their returner.

Editor’s Note: Every week The Daily Illini football staff will chat with a sports reporter from the opposing team. This week, our staff chatted with Mike Hendrickson who is the assistant sports editor for The Daily Minnesotan.
COMPILED BY DI SPORTS STAFF
Quarterbacks Illinois head coach Lovie Smith has yet to announce his starting quarterback. Jeff George Jr. started last week and completed four passes against a strong Michigan pass defense. Wes Lunt is the likely Illinois quarterback option to start against the Gophers if he is fully healthy. The Gophers will start Mitch Leidner, who has demonstrated inconsistency over his four years at the school. Leidner has thrown for 33 career touchdowns but 25 interceptions. Leidner led his team to a Quick Lane Bowl victory last December against Central Michigan. The quarterback has also helped the Gophers reach the Texas Bowl and Citrus Bowl in the 2013 and 2014 seasons, respectively.
Wide Receivers Both Illinois and Minnesota’s wide receiving corps have had one player dominate catches, yards and touchdowns. The Illini’s Malik Turner was the only Illinois player to total more than 10 receiving yards against a stout Michigan defense last week. Turner caught two passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. The junior has surpassed his yardage and touchdown totals from last season, hauling in 33 passes for 513 yards and four touchdowns. Illinois’ second-leading yardage receiver is Justin Hardee, who has amassed 106 yards through the air. Minnesota’s Drew Wolitarsky has 20 more receptions than the next-highest receiver (Brian Smith) has on the team. Wolitarsky has compiled 450 yards and three touchdowns over the season. The senior’s best season came last year when he totaled 524 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Rodney Smith vs everybody
AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn weaves through the defense in the game against Purdue at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 8.
The Illini’s running back corps has been strong this season, but the Golden Gophers have a pretty good answer of their own. Minnesota running back Rodney Smith has been dominant this year with 133 carries, 701 yards, and eight touchdowns. All together, the Illini are comparable, but Smith himself has been phenomenal. In addition to his rushing dominance, he has caught 11 passes on the season, good for 110 yards and no touchdowns. The 11 catches puts him at third most catches on the team. Going up against a strong Illinois defensive line, Smith defi nitely has his work cut out for him, but he is always a threat to break out a big run. If the Illini want to compete, they will want to contain Smith as best they can, and force struggling quarterback Mitch Leidner to throw the ball.
