Equality Act to ban LGBT discrimination Illinois Senator Kirk voices first Republican support

the LGBT Resource Center were unavailable to comment due to being away at a conference, Noah Chisman, freshman in FAA and member of Theta Chi fraternity said he has personally experienced discrimination on campus. “I actually joined a fraternity on campus and was pleasantly surprised to find the fraternity life here to be (at least in my chapter) to be accepting,” Chisman said. “However, there was one brother who originally didn’t want me in the frat, simply because I was gay.” Chisman explained that the other fraternity brothers “shot that member down” and all agreed they wanted him in the frat. Chisman said he wasn’t there for that process, but had heard of a slight disagreement before he was inducted. “It’s been a very interesting experience,” he said. “Part of it has been sort of difficult because that has been one of the first times a lot of these guys have been exposed to a gay guy for a daily basis and getting to know and befriend one.” Chisman said that while

Mark Kirk, Illinois senator, became the first Republican senator to co-sponsor the Equality Act Tuesday. The Equality Act would ban discrimination against people on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity by building on past civil rights laws. These laws already protected individuals on the basis of race, religion and national origin, but would now potentially include sexual orientation and gender identity. “Discrimination on the basis of being gay is against the law in Illinois and should be against the law nationwide,” Kirk said in a statement about the act. However, this act brings attention to issues of discrimination in today’s society. While representatives of

The University of Illinois Police Department issued a Campus Safety Notice Sunday after an attempted robbery and assault occurred Saturday night. According to the notice, the victim was walking westbound along the south sidewalk of Gregory Drive near First Street and the Ikenberry Commons at 8:30 p.m.

An offender approached the victim from behind, grabbed her left arm, and spun her around before punching her in the face and knocking her to the ground. While the victim was on the ground, the offender patted her pockets looking for items. The victim then punched the offender in the face, prompting the offender to run away before he managed to take any of the victim’s property.

Board of Trustees freeze tuition, approve background checks BY ABIGALE SVOBODA NEWS EDITOR

Tuition

Illinois residents who are admitted to the University in February are now guaranteed the same tuition rate as current first-year students. The Board of Trustees voted in favor of a University recommendation not to raise in-state tuition for incoming students at its regular meeting Thursday, holding tuition rates at $12,036. Students who enroll in fall 2016 will have their tuition rate locked in for four years.

“Our highest priority is our students, ensuring access to a high-quality education that will transform their lives and supply the 21st century workforce that is essential to drive progress and prosperity for our state and nation,” said President Timothy Killeen. Trustees stated the decision reflected the University’s commitment to providing its students with an affordable, accessible education. According to a press release, though the University would like to freeze tuition again in future years, less state funding and additional,

unnamed factors, could lead to “more significant” tuition increases. Despite the unchanged tuition rate, room-and-board will increase 2.7 percent, or $280, to $10,612. Students who choose to live in University residence halls for multiple years receive the same rate each year. Additionally, student fees on the Urbana campus will remain relatively unchanged, increasing 0.1 percent, or $4, to $3,092. The $4 transportation services increase was approved in a student referendum in November.

Background checks

The board also approved a revised background check policy that was implemented in September. After faculty members raised concerns about the policy, including concerns about the fairness and intentions of the policy. Jackson Lewis, a Chicago employment law firm, reviewed the revised policy and found it in line with federal and state law, according to the board’s Governance, Personnel and Ethics Committee.

The Illinois Program for Resarch in the Humanities creates the Humanities Without Walls initiative to encourage collaboration among many institutions as well as support for new research projects.

Mellon Foundation gives University $4.2 milllion Grant to aid Humanities Without Walls initiatives BY DIXITA LIMBACHIA STAFF WRITER

A $4.2 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will aid two of the University’s Humanities Without Walls initiatives and help graduate students further their studies. The research initiative, Work of the Humanities and the Changing Climate, is designed to be comprehensive and offer scholars multiple opportunities to have research projects funded. The second initiative, a predoctoral workshop, gives graduate students who have not completed their degrees a chance to partake in a summer workshop in Chicago for three weeks. This helps students capitalize on their areas of study — English, history, art history, philosophy and other humanities. The workshop also

Ebertfest to open with ‘Crimson Peak’ BY JOE LONGO STAFF WRITER

“Crimson Peak,” a gothic romance drama directed by Guillermo Del Toro, will open the 18th annual Roger Ebert Film Festival this April. Serving as an honorary guest, Del Toro will hold a Q&A following the screening. “Crimson Peak” previously opened on Oct. 16, for its North American theatrical run, grossing $31 million, according to box office tracking website Box Office Mojo. Yet with stiff competition from “Bridge of Spies” and “The Martian,” the film went largely unnoticed upon its release. For festival director Nate Kohn, the purpose of EbertFest is to highlight films overlooked by audiences, distributors and critics. “For some reason, [‘Crimson Peak’] didn’t get attention that it deserves, so we wanted to put a spotlight

EQUALITY they don’t mean to actually be offensive to gay people, I do call them out on it,” he said. “But I have seen some decided improvement, and the guys have been really nice and people other than me have stuck up for the idea of knowing what words are and are not okay to say.” Chisman said his experience coming into the fraternity has been a process, and while it can still be difficult at times, it has been overall welcoming. “Now I feel that a good amount of people in this country know that it’s not socially acceptable to discriminate against the LGBT community, but we’re in between a new age of acceptance and the leftover hatred of older generations,” he said. “While the hatred has seemed to have gone away, the slurs born from that hatred have not.” Chisman said that initially having to come out to his fellow frat brothers and waiting to see how they would react, was his most memorable moment. “I wouldn’t have stuck it out if I hadn’t (felt comfortable being myself), but the overwhelming, enthusiastic support was outstanding

on the film, [and] let people know how good we think it is,” Kohn said. “We wanted Del Toro to come to the festival. He is one of the great directors, so we invited him and he accepted.” Slated to run from April 13 to 17, the annual festival known as Ebertfest holds premieres at the Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign. Subsequent Q&A panels occur at the Illini Union on campus. Honoring the founder and namesake of the festival, Roger Ebert, in his hometown, Ebertfest is organized by the University of Illinois’ College of Media. Although “Crimson Peak” was the only film announced, more selections should be publicized. “We will be announcing more films between now and the end of February,” said Casey Ludwig, assistant director for the festival. Ebertfest has hosted an and I never really felt awkward or that I had forced anyone into accepting me,” Chisman said. Coming to the University and joining a fraternity were not the first instances that Chisman has felt ostracized because of his sexual orientation. “My parents weren’t accepting and neither was the community I grew up in, but I don’t know if I can think of any formal kinds of discrimination,” he said. Chisman was advised by his parents to take down Facebook photos of himself celebrating gay pride at a parade, but chose not to remove them, expressing disinterest in working for a company that would refuse him, based on sexual orientation. Although Chisman hasn’t put much thought into how his orientation would impact employment opportunities, he supports the stride Kirk is taking against LGBT discrimination. “Personally, I don’t think a lot of the idea of getting discriminated against, but feel as though I wouldn’t want to work for anyone who would think of discriminating against me because (of my sexual orientation), so I’ve never thought of that as an issue.”

WASHINGTON — The State Department is asking a federal judge for a onemonth extension to finish releasing Hillary Clinton’s emails, a State official said Friday. State Department Deputy spokesman Mark Toner confirmed Friday that the State Department filed a motion asking for an extension until Feb. 29 in the Freedom of Information Act case, Leopold v. State, which has required it to release Clinton’s emails monthly. The department is supposed to release the emails by Jan. 31. The Department will be releasing emails Jan. 29 but it will not meet the court’s goal of producing the remaining emails from Clinton, Toner said. If the request is granted, the remainder of the approximately 55,000 pages would be posted in February. “State Department staff have been working extremely hard to process these emails and we are committed to getting them out,” Toner said. “The court’s goal for this month’s production represented the largest number of pages to date. The remaining emails are also the most complex

The cause of this delay is not due to any ongoing discussion about classification that has been in the news as of late.” At least 1,340 emails that Clinton sent or received contained classified material, according to the State Department’s latest update from its ongoing review of more than 30,000 emails. None of Clinton’s emails was marked as classified during her tenure, State Department officials say, but intelligence officials say some material was clearly classified at the time. Her aides also sent and received classified information.

Man who accidentally shot woman in movie theater had gun permit, police say SEATTLE — An apparently intoxicated man who accidentally shot a woman in a Renton, Washington, movie theater Thursday night had a concealed-carry permit for the weapon, police said. The 29-year-old man, who has not been formally identified by Renton police, has been booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, said police spokesman Commander David Liebman. The man will have his first appearance in court at the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on Saturday afternoon, according to Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County prosecutor’s office. The 40-year-old woman, who suffered a wound to her shoulder, was upgraded Friday morning to serious condition at Harborview Medical Center. A hospital spokeswoman said she

is improving and in intensive care. The man entered a showing of the film “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” at Regal Cinemas The Landing 14 with a loaded gun before 8:15 p.m., said Liebman. The man fumbled with the gun and it accidentally fired, hitting the woman, who does not know the man, Liebman said. After the shooting, the man reportedly left the theater and briefly went into a nearby restaurant, where he dropped the gun and picked it back up, according to a witness and police. After a search, authorities announced around 10:15 p.m. that the man’s father had called 911 to report his son had been involved in the shooting and was distraught. Police went to the father’s Newcastle home and arrested his son.

Haiti elections scheduled for Sunday have been canceled P O R T- AU - P R I N C E , Haiti — Haitian elections officials Friday afternoon abruptly canceled Sunday’s planned elections amid escalating protests around the country. Hours earlier, the officials had halted the distribution of voting materials and began recovery of those that had already gone out. Election officials said at a news conference that safety could not be guaranteed for voters or poll workers. The cancellation is “a victory for all of the democratic sector,” said Jude Celestin, the main opposition candidate in Sunday’s election. The electoral commission’s about-face came after the international community said it is leaving the door open for Haitians to find a political consensus that could lead to the postponement of Sunday’s partial legislative

and presidential runoff. Six foreign ambassadors along with the representative of the Organization of American States and the head of the U.N. peacekeeping stabilization mission said Friday that while they still want to see the conclusion of the electoral process, they support efforts “aimed at finding a way forward that ensures the democratic renewal of state institutions.” The statement makes no mention of a Jan. 24 presidential runoff or a Feb. 7 constitutional end of President Michel Martelly’s term, two dates that the international community had been insistent on Haiti maintaining. But they softened their stance Thursday as Celestin continued to boycott the runoff and tires and cars burned in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. Also, reports trickled in that schools doubled as voting bureaus were being burned.

Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson speaks with The Daily Illini’s Editorial Board Jan. 14 at the University’s Chicago campus. Wilson discussed the search for a new athletic director, among many other University-related matters.

Just get it right

I

n December 2015, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson said she hoped to conclude the hiring of a new athletic director by the Jan. 21 Board of Trustees meeting in Chicago. With that date having passed and no news from the University regarding the issue, some fans have begun voicing their distaste for the length of the process. Former Athletic Director Mike Thomas was let go on Nov. 9, and the search began immediately for a replacement. With the future of football head coach Bill Cubit in the balance as the season came to a close, it was believed the University would decide on a new athletic director quickly to play a part in the decision-making process. However, two months passed with no news on that front and the interim leadership at the University elected to award Cubit a two-year contract extension. With Cubit’s extension a distant speck in the rearview mirror, it no longer matters when Wilson and her search committee are able to find their man or woman for the job — all that matters now is that they get this hire right. In an exclusive meeting with The Daily Illini Editorial Board, Wilson said she was spending quite a bit of time consulting with various groups about their expectations for

the new athletic director. “I’ve talked to coaches, studentathletes, to alums to people in DIA, the staff in DIA,” Wilson said. “We’ve created a pretty robust list of criteria, the wish list of who’s going to be the next leader.” The choice to lengthen the search process into the new year has been met with frustration from impatient fans hoping for a quick end to the void of permanent University leadership. Fans shouldn’t be worried about the timing of this search any longer — the next major decision in the athletic department will likely occur at the end of the 2016 basketball season, when a potential contract extension for head coach John Groce will be debated. By that time, there will almost certainly be a new athletic director in place to satiate the fans’ desire for a fresh start. The only remaining question is whom that person will be, and whether there is a worthy candidate to fill Wilson’s extensive criteria. “One of the coaches said, ‘You’re looking for somebody who walks on water,’” Wilson said. “And I said, ‘No, I’m just looking for a great leader.’ And I know that person’s out there, and that’s who we’re going to find.”

et’s just put it out there so I don’t feel like a hypocrite writing this article: My mom dragged me into the dentist’s office over break. I sat in the stupid reclining dentist chair with hands in my mouth for 45 minutes, and then the dentist had the nerve to tell me I have to come back. “Excuse you? I am going back to school, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You might have to come home in a few weeks.” Anyway, it turns out I have four cavities. This couldn’t have been more of a surprise to me, but then I remembered that when I went out first semester, definitely not to participate in illegal activities, I would always come back to my room and forgo the toothpaste for my comfy bed. This embarrassing hygienic mishap gave me an epiphany: I do not take care of myself the same way on campus that I do at home. And this isn’t just a “Leah being gross” situation — I’m not alone in my lackadaisical approach to hygiene at school. Lots of freshman have admitted to being less diligent in cleaning themselves. Erwin Lavric, freshman in Engineering, explained an occurrence that happened to him every so often. “I was up too late ‘studying’ and because of this, the next morning I slept through all my alarms and I wasn’t able to shower,” he said. Pawan Sajnani, freshman in DGS, had a similar experience regarding sacrifice of his own well-being. “I woke up late for class and didn’t have time to brush, so I mouthwashed and left.” Sajnani said. “Now I ran out of mouthwash and I cannot do that anymore.” When we lived at home and went to high school, our lives were much more regulated and mundane. High school was a simpler time, when our

parents (or mine, at least) would rouse us from overslept alarms and showers didn’t require footwear. These days we live life without rules, curfews and parents to yell at us for sleeping in dirty sheets. Something about having complete control over all of your decisions leaves room to fall short in other, seemingly less important areas. Because we live such rule-free lives in college, some of us forget our rules for basic hygiene. It’s easy to put off a few teeth brushings here or there, or to forget deodorant in the rush to leave the dorm. Enough people forget to brush their teeth at night, and we have a campuswide cavity epidemic. That’s good for the local dentists, but bad for our personal health. I am willing to be the first to admit my teeth-brushing mishap, because I care about my fellow Illini. Because I have made this embarrassing statement, maybe now we can all take a step back and take time to acknowledge our own changed routines. We have all done a few things differently at college than the way we did them at home. As underclassmen, even second-semester underclassmen, we are still learning how we want our schedules to run. It is tough to handle so many different types of obligations all around campus. If getting sleep and having enough travel time isn’t enough to pencil into your mornings already, the extra 15 minutes you need to completely clean yourself up is a lot to plan for. And part of growing up is taking responsibility and initiative for our actions. For example, I will have to go back home for four fillings. After recognizing the patterns we are creating, we can take a look at the future. We have to take action in our cleanliness. We must realize we set examples now for the rest of our lives and college is a place to learn from mistakes. You can keep the same hygienic standards you do at home at college as well. You just have to be more responsible. Next time you stay out late, make a plan for yourself to get everything you need to get done in the morning. As for me, I will never forget to brush my teeth after a late night out again.

We have to take action in our cleanliness. We must realize we set examples now for the rest of our lives and college is a place to learn from mistakes.

Losing lotto is the real stroke of luck COURTNEY BOYER Opinions columnist

L

ike a lot of people in America, you might have been disappointed when you didn’t win the recent Powerball lottery, which was at a record breaking $1.6 billion and could have gone to a single ticket holder. The United States was in a frenzy the days leading up to the drawing of the Powerball, and more people than ever were purchasing lotto tickets. Among those who bought tickets were college students, hopeful to pay off student loans and perhaps live a comfortable, “stress-free” life. However, this is rarely the case for lottery winners. College students should take comfort in the fact that because they did not win, they are going to learn how to be financially responsible and potentially end up more successful in life. The New York Times” recently published an article of mini-profiles on past lottery winners, and some of the results of winning a large sum of money were bleak. Several winners were murdered, and countless others died early in life with little money to their name, having spent their fortune too quickly. Some spent all the money in a few short years and were left working menial jobs, having declared bankruptcy. Many turned into alcoholics and yet another winner

wished he could “give it all back.” Many people believe that they would be different, and if they were to win, they would be wise with the money and never have to work a day in their life again. However, this is rarely the case with lottery winners. Without the right knowledge of how to handle such a large sum of money, many winners are completely unable to find reasonable uses for their newfound fortune. They never learn how to be financially responsible, because they believe they are going to be wealthy forever. Many don’t understand the amazingly vast responsibility it is to have so much money. It’s hard to find a balance between living in luxury and daily life after winning so much money. No one knows exactly how to live with that much money — unless you have experience with it in the past. It could be near impossible to maintain a normal life

after being shoved into the world of enormous luxury. Money is power and a lot of the times it can change one’s whole life beyond recognition. Most college students struggle with maintaining a weekly budget. As everyone

Students should take refuge in the fact that they may not have a huge fortune yet but could possibly acquire one in the future. knows, most college students are not made of money. It’s hard to stick to a minimal budget each week as we have many expenses besides just tuition including: food, books, other school supplies, and living expenses all while trying to have some money

left over for a social life. And yet still, many students occasionally make a purchase that is not wise. With a larger pool of money to be drawing from, the unwise purchases would likely still happen, just on a larger scale. And the winner would be none the wiser to the fact that the lottery money could one day run out. At this stage in life, college students are not equipped with all the knowledge about finances they would need to remain a successful lottery winner, because they have not yet been fully thrust into the real world of jobs and responsibilities. When college students get jobs and learn the value of hard work and start to make and spend their own money, it teaches them responsibility in ways that just learning about finances could never do. A job requires someone to adhere to a responsible work schedule, earn their own money, file taxes and pay bills.

This is especially true if you are living on your own and completely at the will of your own paycheck. So while it is a dream of many college students to win the lottery someday and have all their hearts’ desires, it would be wise to consider not winning the lottery a blessing in disguise. You can continue to work hard in school, get a job and learn incrementally how to handle money responsibly. You will also learn the value of hard work and the value of a dollar and will end up more successful in life than if you had squandered lottery money away. The chances of becoming successful through hard work are much higher than the chances of finding long term success from winning the lottery. Students should take refuge in the fact that they may not have a huge fortune yet but could possibly acquire one in the future.

BALTIMORE — Say a young man is pacing outside a house. A police officer asks him to stop, but the young man keeps pacing. Maybe the young man notices the officer’s gun and just wants to touch it. He reaches ... “They may not know not to come up and touch their guns,” Elizabeth Benevides said. Her teenage son is autistic, and often repeats words said to him. “If you’re an officer,” she said, “you might think that’s really flippant.” Benevides plans this week to help train police recruits to resolve such encounters with “de-escalation tactics:” speak calmly, give space, be patient. The 11 recruits will be the first police class in Howard County to take the four-hour training on intellectual and developmental disabilities after it became a requirement for recruits across Maryland. Some of the 11 recruits had their first encounters with autism Sunday evening, during a pool party with the Howard County Autism Society. The recruits served pizza poolside at Life Time Athletic in Columbia. About 40 families arrived.

HOVER a policy that addresses inline skates and skateboards in the campus administration manual. Last week, an additional policy regarding hoverboards was added to the manual.

Injuries Kharasch stated that there have been a lot of wrist fractures and head injuries caused by hoverboard use. “The injuries are even worse in that it is an unstable board,” he said. He also discussed that hoverboards are ridden most in malls where they are sold, which is a location where individuals do not think to wear a helmet. “There’s been no expectation to wear wrist guards or helmets, so what we expect to see is a significant wrist fracture from falls on outstretched arms, which happens frequently when learning how to use hoverboards,” Kharasch said. Tom Pliura, University urgent care physician, also expressed his concern regarding hoverboard injuries. “There has been a lot in the literature recently about hoverboards and injuries. Around Christmas time, there have been a lot of injuries reported,” Pliura said. The urgent care physician said hoverboards and skateboards cause similar

Howard County Police Department entry level recruit Michael Scanlon, left, talks with Jane Plapinger and her autistic 13-year-old son Dave. The recruits attended a pool party with the Howard County Autism Society to get first-hand experience interacting with autistic children, adults and their families. “I just fear people won’t understand my son,” said Sabina Sambat, mother of 12-year-old Niko. The mandatory police training comes three years after a 26-year-old man with Down syndrome died in a struggle with Frederick County sheriff’s deputies. Robert “Ethan” Saylor died after deputies tried to remove him from a Frederick, Md., movie theater.

In Howard County, Lt. Bill Cheuvront will lead the training with Benevides, a former president of the Howard County Autism Society. Howard County had 764 students with autism, according to the most recent state data available. That’s about 16 percent of all students — well above the state average of 9.8 percent. Sunday evening, the officers and families met with

hopes of avoiding conflicts. “What looks like violence is really just agitation,” Jane Plapinger said. “If my son is out of control,” Plapinger told him, “he’s frightened.” “Just be very reassuring,” his mother continued, “and keep everybody calm until he comes down.” David was watching the slide.

The Ban According to USA Today, over 30 universities have banned hoverboards from their property due to safety concerns. Several public locations have banned the devices as well. The University implemented this ban at the start of the spring semester. DeLorenzo explained that her transportation management committee handles all types of transportation and infrastructure on campus, whether it is walking, biking, driving or busing. “In any transportation situation, hoverboards should not be used in bike lanes just as a bicycles should not be on the sidewalk. Hoverboards should be ridden on the sidewalk,” DeLorenzo said. Kharasch stated his perspective regarding the University ban. “As an ER doctor, I absolutely agree with the ban because hoverboards go extremely fast and are very unstable. Banning these kind of devices will really limit some of the significant problems that come with motorized devices that go significantly fast. They started to ban them at other places across the country not just because of the

Fire Hazard Aside from the risk of injury, hoverboards also raise a fire hazard, which can cause a hazardous situation on a college campus. “The biggest thing is the danger with the batteries of

hoverboards. The consumer product service report says there are some hoverboards with batteries that have the potential to catch on fire or explode when charging,” DeLorenzo said. Kharasch also brought up the issue of fire associated with the motorized boards when charging the devices. The ER doctor explained that the issue occurs when people are unaware of any issues as they go around

the house or they leave the board in the charger when they’re not home. “From emergency medicine, we do deal with a lot of folks who are exposed to fire or enclosed devices where there is smoke. We are extremely concerned with these devices,” Kharasch said. Ultimately, DeLorenzo expressed that safety is in the hands of the individual using the motorized board.

“With any mode of transportation going around campuses, we are just asking people to please be predictable. Please look out for others around you and don’t have headphones or look down at your phone. Act in a way where you abide by the rules and safety features we implement,” DeLorenzo said.

The Illini Union Hotel is a popular destination among alumni and parents who are visiting campus. BY MADDIE GALASSI STAFF WRITER

Despite the opening of new hotels like Marriott TownePlace Suites on Green Street last summer, the Illini Union Hotel continues its 74-year business on campus. The Illini Union Hotel, located inside the Illini Union at 1401 W. Green St., has 72 rooms, including VIP suites and views overlooking the Main Quad. According to Laurence Uphoff, the manager of the hotel, the original hotel was built on the fourth floor of the north side of the Illini Union, where the event rooms are now located. In 1963, an addition

was built to accommodate the growing University enrollment, and the hotel was relocated to the third and fourth floors of the south side of the building overlooking the Quad. Uphoff said the Marriott has affected business but not drastically. Primarily, the two hotels compete with each other because of their location to campus. “Location, location, location,” Uphoff said. He said the hotel generally gets around 31,000 customers a year. Modeled after Colonial Virginia, the hotel has a historic atmosphere, with its architecture and

woodwork designs, that can set it apart from newer Green Street additions. He said people choose to stay at the Illini Union Hotel because of tradition as well. “It also has unique architecture and beautiful, hand-carved woodwork,” Uphoff said. Pooja Chirala, sophomore in LAS, stayed at the Illini Union Hotel after a long commute from California on a campus visit the summer before her freshman year.Chirala said she and her Mom chose the Illini Union Hotel over others because

Hoverboards associated with injury, roll into reckless future on campus BY ELYSSA KAUFMAN STAFF WRITER

On Green Street, across the Quad and down Wright Street, a blue glow can be seen illuminating sidewalks. The light shines from a futuristic device, but not the kind viewers might have seen in “Back to the Future Part II.” In fact, this hoverboard doesn’t float at all, but rather, it has been tied to multiple injuries and fire hazards. With the risk of explosions or injuries, are these boards back to the future or back to the emergency room? Since Jan. 18, hoverboards have been banned from all campus facilities as stated in a mass

mail sent by Director of Public Safety Jeff Christensen. The mass mail explained that the decision to prohibit hoverboards derived from “issued alerts about the potential fire hazard.” Dr. Morris Kharasch, University alumnus and chairman of emergency medicine at NorthShore University Health System, addressed the risks and injuries associated with hoverboards and the issue of riding the motorized devices on campus. “Hoverboards go extremely fast, but people are not wearing the protective devices necessary. We expect some significant injuries as things move forward and (the boards) become more popular,” Kharasch said.

According to the ER doctor, most boards can carry up to 220 pounds. He also explained that the speed at which hoverboards move — about 12.5 mph at their fastest — is also a concern. “All of the folks that I know of that use hoverboards do not wear a helmet or any other protective device, and that’s the concerning part of this.” He said with other devices such as rollerblades and motorized scooters, there is a larger awareness when it comes to wearing protective gear. According to Stacey DeLorenzo, the chair of the campus transportation committee, there is

Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez pushes onto Penn State’s Jason Nolf during the match at Huff Hall Saturday. The Illini lost 30-15. Martinez’s loss to Nolf was his first college defeat.

Isaiah Martinez suffers first loss as Illini BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER

At 19-0 on the season and 54-0 dating back to last year, sophomore Isaiah Martinez was atop the wrestling polls at No. 1 in his weight class. On Saturday, the 1,407 in attendance at Huff Hall saw him lose. Penn State’s Jason Nolf — No. 3 in the country — pinned Martinez in the second period. Nolf, who came in with an perfect record on the season, started off the highly anticipated match with an early takedown to make the score 2-0. Martinez followed up Nolf’s takedown with one

of his own, while adding an escape, to make it 3-2 Martinez with 45 seconds left in the first period. Nolf knotted the score at three after an escape at the end of the first period and appeared to gain momentum. The Nittany Lion redshirt freshman controlled the second period, opening in the down position and earning another escape to make the score 4-3. Nolf used a variety of quick moves to put Martinez in trouble and found himself hooking the leg and pinning the shoulders to the mat almost five minutes into the match to earn the win

and improve his record to 24-0. “Anytime you lose a match, it hurts, but it’s not like I’ve never lost a match in my entire life,” Martinez said. “Wrestling 18 years, I’ve lost many, many matches. The fact that it just hasn’t happened in a while — it stings — but the streak and everything like that, it’s not really on my mind.” The No. 1 Nittany Lions would go on to rout Illinois, 30-15. At 174-pounds, a matchup between No. 5 Zac Brunson of the Illini and No. 1 Bo Nickal of Penn State proved to be another match that could go either way.

Nickal came into the Saturday dual with only one loss on the season. With Nickal leading 4-3 to begin the third period, Brunson started in the down position and added another escape, tying the score at four. Brunson seemed to be gaining momentum with back-to-back escapes, but Nickal ended any hopes of Brunson winning with a takedown once he gained control. Unranked Jeff Koepke provided a silver lining for Illinois when he defeated No. 10 Matt McCutcheon at 184-pounds. “It was a close match and I was wrestling alright in the

Late surge saved Illini from another Big Ten loss ALEX ROUX Illini hoops columnist

It

looked grim for Illinois down the stretch. Trailing 60-55 at Minnesota with just over a minute to play Saturday, the Illini seemed to have run out of gas. But Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn weren’t done, and the Illini turned to their two best players to carry them home. Nunn hit a three from the top of the key and Hill followed with two coldblooded free throws with 32 seconds left to knot the game up at 60. The Gophers then missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have sent Illinois home with the program’s ninth consecutive loss on the road. Illinois didn’t look back in overtime, rattling off 11 straight points in the extra period and cruising the rest of the way in a 76-71 win over Minnesota at Williams Arena. The Illini’s overtime push was part of a 20-2 run that ultimately buried the Gophers, and the victory pushed them back to .500 on the season at

10-10 overall and 2-5 in Big Ten play. It was the ninth straight loss for the Gophers, who fell to 6-14 and 0-8 in the Big Ten. The Illini post players have been decimated by injuries this season, and center Mike Thorne Jr. returned to the sidelines after experiencing soreness in his previouslyinjured knee. The 6-foot11 Thorne had originally returned from a meniscus injury last game against Indiana but felt pain in practice Thursday, relegating him to street clothes for Saturday’s contest. Illinois’ available big men stepped up big in his absence. Junior Maverick Morgan and redshirt freshman Michael Finke took advantage of Minnesota’s thin front line, combining for 23 points and 23 rebounds on the evening. Morgan’s 14 points were one shy of his career high, and Finke’s careerhigh 16 rebounds were the most recorded boards by an Illini in over two years. Nunn finished with 13 points and five rebounds, but the true star of the night was Hill. The 6-foot-6 junior went off for 28 points and 10

rebounds, including six straight crucial free throws at the end of regulation and into overtime. Hill’s 26th point made him the 47th player to reach 1,000 points in an Illini career. It’s been a tough year for Illinois, but Hill continues to be spectacular. He leads his team in total points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots and increased his scoring average to 18.7 per game Saturday. Simply put, the dude is a beast and Illinois would be close to nowhere without him. Getting a win after a tough week has to feel great for Illini head coach John Groce, his staff and his players. Unfortunately, beating a lowly Minnesota team doesn’t mean much, but the way they won was an unexpected relief. Too often we’ve seen Groce’s teams go down five points with about a minute to play and have no chance, but Saturday they responded. Minnesota being bad certainly helped the outcome, but you have to credit the Illini for not folding like they did at Indiana. You could tell this one meant a lot to both teams. As Minnesota came back

Illinois’ head coach John Groce talks to the referee after calling a timeout during the Illini’s 78-67 loss to the Huskers at State Farm Center Jan.16. from a 53-46 deficit, Gophers coach Richard Pitino was fired up, electrifying the crowd as he stormed back and forth down the sideline. On the other end, Groce was as furious at the referees as we’ve seen him all season after a pair of late questionable calls, and both benches were exuber-

ant throughout the game. Even with both teams’ struggles, it was clear both teams desperately wanted to win. No matter who it came against, it was important that Illinois got a win — any win — at this point in the season. The competition will step up several notches when Ohio

State and Wisconsin visit Champaign next, but both teams have scuffled this year as well. It’s now up to the Illini to steer themselves further from the brink of disaster.

Illinois’ Malcolm Hill shoots during the 78-67 loss to Nebraska Jan. 16.

For two teams itching for an always elusive conference victory, Illinois and Minnesota had to wait longer than expected to determine a winner Saturday night. The Illini seemed to want the dub just a little more and pulled away in overtime for a 76-71 win on the road. After clawing their way back into the game with five unanswered points to force overtime, Illinois remained relentless with a 9-0 run to begin the extra period. Junior Malcolm Hill led all scorers with 28 points, nine of which helped Illinois separate itself during the overtime period. The do-it-all forward also

ripped down 10 boards for a double-double and netted 13-of-14 from the free throw line. It was a game of runs, and neither squad looked better than the other for more than five minutes at a time. After securing a 35-30 lead to close out the opening half, the Illini took their foot off the gas, and the Gophers opened the second period on an 11-4 run to retake the lead. Junior guard Kendrick Nunn broke a long shooting spell with back-to-back threes to give the Illini a 49-46 lead with 13 minutes remaining. The Gopher offense grew stagnant once again, going almost five minutes without scoring until sophomore Nate Mason single-handedly brought them back to life. The sweetshooting guard went on a personal 11-0 run, including three straight makes from deep, to give Minnesota the lead yet again. One final Illini run that bled into the overtime would prove to be the difference maker. Illinois won the battle on the glass 49-38. Big men Maverick

Morgan and Michael Finke combined for 23 boards, and Morgan also pitched in 14 points. Minnesota jumped all over Illinois early. The Illini found themselves down 10 after an 11-2 Gopher run in the opening minutes and couldn’t find a groove on the offensive end— Illinois shot 3-for-12 from the field with six turnovers in the first ten minutes. With a quick switch to a zone defense, Illinois dared Minnesota to take deep shots, and the Gophers lived up to their billing as the worst shooting team in the in the Big Ten—they shot 3-14 from beyond the arc in the first half. Minnesota’s extended stretch of bricks led to a 21-6 Illini run that gave Illinois a 35-30 lead heading into the locker room. Hill’s 11 points led all first half scorers. Saturday night’s win was Illinois’ 12th in Minnesota since 2000, which leads all Big Ten teams. It was also the Illini’s first road win of the season.

After struggle, Illini lose to Penn State BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois women’s basketball team couldn’t buy a basket down the stretch of another Big Ten match. In similar fashion to its loss against Indiana, the Illini faltered against Penn State down the stretch and relinquished a five-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. The Nittany Lions took advantage of Illinois’ inability to make a shot and secured a 65-56 victory at State Farm Center. “I thought that we were up five and had a lot of momentum,” head coach Matt Bollant said. “It just felt like we needed to make a shot in that stretch. We had a stretch where we got really good shots — got two or three layups and some open threes. We just had to make a shot in that stretch, and we didn’t do it.” Both Illinois and Penn State struggled to score in the first half, recording 23.5 and 21.4 shooting percentages, respectively. In the third quarter, however, Illinois was able to get its shots to fall, which led to a 10-point lead in the third quarter. Penn State found its rhythm in the fourth and finished the half with a 60.9 field goal percentage. Freshman and former Illini recruiting target Teniya Page led the way for the Nittany Lions with 27 points. “I don’t think I have ever recruited a kid harder than I recruited her,” Bollant said. “And tonight you saw why I went after her so hard. She is a really good player, and she made shots down the stretch.” Illinois was able to find success on the boards throughout the game despite its height disadvantage. Center Chatrice White collected a team-high 18 rebounds to go with her 10 points in the game. Forward Alex Wittinger gave the team second chances on the offensive end by

Penn State 65, Illinois 56 Summary: Penn State rallied in the fourth quarter to hand Illinois its seventh Big Ten loss. Key Performer: Chatrice White: 10 points, 18 rebounds Quote of the game: “I think you have to have the courage to step up and make a shot. That’s leadership of making a play when it needs to happen. We need our leaders to that for us,” Matt Bollant said.

bringing in six of her eight total rebounds on offense. In total, Illinois was able to outrebound Penn State 18 to seven on the offensive side of the court. “We were playing great defense and collected a lot offensive rebounds,” White said. “(Wittinger) was getting a ton of boards. That really helped us control the offensive end. Defensively, we were doing what we do best and only letting them get one shot.” The Illini relied heavily on the three-ball throughout the game, but they were only able to knock down five of their 23 shots. Bollant said after the match that the players settled for the perimeter shot after not being able to see the open post player. With the loss, Illinois falls to 1-7 in the Big Ten with a game Tuesday at Minnesota. Bollant stressed that the team needs to be able to make shots in big moments towards the end of games, which it has struggled with in its last two games. “I think you have to have the courage to step up and make a shot,” Bollant said. “That’s leadership of making a play when it needs to happen. We need our leaders to do that for us.”

Illinois men’s tennis cruises to three victories BY MIKE GASICK

ITA Kickoff Weekend

STAFF WRITER

The No. 7 Illinois men’s tennis team showed few signs of rust in its opening weekend matches. The Illini first hosted the Valparaiso Crusaders in their dual season opener. The team initially got on the board with a doubles point, taking two out of the three matches. The doubles partners of sophomores Aron Hiltzik and Aleks Vukic, along with senior Brian Page and redshirt junior Julian Childers were victorious. On the singles side, Aron was the first off the court, as he defeated Charlie Emhard in straight sets (6-3, 6-3). Vukic and teammate Alex Jesse followed, defeating their opponents both in straight sets. As a result, the Illini swept the Crusaders 4-0, earning the team its first dual meet victory of the season. “We’ve had really good couple of weeks of preparation,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “Our guys have really been focused.” The Illini then went up against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who came into play ranked No. 36, according to the ITA rankings.The match was a part of the opening round of the ITA Kick-Off weekend featuring the University of Tulsa and Northwestern University. The Hiltzik/ Vukic and Page/Childers

Summary: Illinois opened up indoor match play with three smooth victories. Key player: Jared Hiltzik Quote of the game: “We lost some top guys from last year, and this was a big growing match for us,” Jared Hiltzek said. Up next: Duke, Jan. 29

Senior Jared Hiltzik gave the team another point when he cruised to a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Eddy Covalschi. Vukic was next off the court, winning 6-2, 6-4 against Quentin Monaghan. Jared’s brother Aron locked

up the victory for the team by defeating Alex Lawson 6-4, 6-2. The Illini again swept its opponent, 4-0. After Northwestern defeated Tulsa, the Illini faced the Wildcats for the chance to advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Championship. Childers teamed up with freshman

Pengxuan Jiang to defeat their opponent 6-3. Jesse and Jared locked up the first point of the match by winning 6-3. Illinois continued its success in singles, as Jared had little problems with Sam Shropshire, defeating him 6-2, 6-2. Childers had to close out a tight first set but

ended with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 victory. In the ninth game of the second set, Childers was forced to deuce on his serve and completed the match after a long, drawn-out rally. After dropping his first set, Vukic regained focus and defeated Konrad Zieba 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. “Vukic wasn’t really

sharp at all tonight, but he really just stayed mentally tough and kept himself composed and obviously had a chance to close out the match,” Dancer said. The Illini, for the third consecutive match, defeated their opponents by a score of 4-0. Jared was impressed by the weekend, especially with the win over the No. 25 Wildcats. “This year, we didn’t really know where we were going to be,” Hiltzik said. “We lost some top guys from last year, and this was a big growing match for us.” The Illini will go on the road next weekend, facing top-25 opponents in North Carolina (No. 10) and Duke University (No. 23). The ITA National Indoor Championships will be held on Feb. 12-15 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Illini swimming and diving falls to 8-3 on dual season Illinois loses to Nebraska, second loss on the road BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER

After being road warriors nearly the entire season, the Illinois swimming and diving team may be starting to feel the repercussions of playing nearly an entire schedule on the road. Saturday’s loss to conference rival Nebraska marked the team’s second consecutive loss on the road, which comes after the team started the season 8-1. Illinois only hosted four meets at the ARC pool this

season, where the Illini were 3-1, with their only loss coming to Northwestern. Head coach Sue Novitsky acknowledged some of her team’s missed chances, and how the rough senior-day setting may have played a factor in the team’s defeat. “This was another very close meet,” Novitsky said. “We had our opportunities and did not take advantage of those situations. Nebraska came out and competed very strong, which we knew they would on their senior day. It was a very challenging and loud environment and I think that took us out of our game a bit early on. I felt that we finished the meet strong and that we did refocus, dig deep and compete.” Illinois picked up six event victories on the day,

with sophomore Samantha Stratford, and junior Amelia Schilling each coming away with two victories. Schilling won the 200 and 500 freestyle, and Stratford won the 200 butterfly and 200 individual medley.

“It being my second year its way easier to talk to people and be comfortable around the team,” Stratford said. “I think during practice we all help each other out.” The Illini started the day

“This was another very close meet. We had our opportunities and did not take advantage of those situations.” SUE NOVITSKY HEAD COACH

Stratford is arguably the team’s main contributor on the season, leading the team in event victories, and embracing her new-found role as a team leader in the locker room.

winning two of the first three events, starting with junior Gabby Stecker and her victory in the 1,000yard freestyle, followed by Schilling’s victory in the 200-yard freestyle.

The early victories just weren’t enough to propel the team to victory however, as Illinois ultimately ended the day with a 162138 defeat. Novitsky put a strong emphasis on Illinois’ next few practices, encouraging her team to say focused, and continue the road-warrior spirit the team has embraced all season, especially with the Big Ten championships being less than a month away. “Now we need to go back and make sure we practice strong and work on putting the pieces into place each opportunity,” Novitsky said. “It is extremely important that we stay focus and tough everyday as we head into the championship portion of our schedule.”

Up next on the schedule for the Illini is Arkansas. Illinois will get a chance to face SEC competition for the second time this season, after the divers went down to Georgia early in the season. Before this season, Illinois had very little familiarity with SEC schools. Prior to the Georgia diving meet, the last time Illinois competed with an SEC school was the 2005-2006 season, when the Illini met with Kentucky. Illinois ultimately lost that meet 179-119, setting up next week’s tilt with Arkansas as a shot at redemption, and an opportunity to send a message that the Illini and their 8-3 record are for real.

It’s time for countries endangered by the global Islamist jihad to join in solidarity to defeat this cruel and bloody scourge. We must condemn Islamist terror in all its forms, we must confront this enemy on the ground, and we must challenge Muslim leaders to help us in this battle. Only in this way can we prevent horrors such as those we suffered in Paris, Jerusalem, San Barnardino and other targets worldwide.

Illinois sweeps Rochester College BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER

In its first home series of 2016, Illinois (15-10-3) managed to net 11 goals over the weekend against Rochester College (12-13-1) compared to just seven goals over its last four games. Even more notable, the Illini didn’t have to rely on the usual sophomore duo of Eric Cruickshank and James Mcging to carry the scoring load; seven different skaters lit the lamp for the Illini, including six goals by six different players in Friday’s matchup. “We did a great job of just keeping things simple and getting pucks to the net,” said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “Even the defense chipped in a little, when you get production from up and down the lineup, you’re going to be tough to beat.” In Friday’s series opener, Illinois quickly made fans forget about its recent offensive woes, jumping out to a 3-0 lead after first-period goals from the familiar faces of Mcging and Cruickshank along with forward Yoshi Shibata. Rochester made a surge in the second period, scoring two goals while holding the Illini scoreless. However, the Illini would unleash another trio of goals sparked by defenseman Austin Zima’s score just two minutes into the

third period. Chris Lozinak and Eric Saulters followed up with two power-play goals off Rochester minor penalties to give Illinois its eventual 6-3 win. A large part of Illinois’ scoring frenzy was the long-awaited result of the line change that moved John Olen with Mcging on the first line and Cruickshank and Grant Stueve to the second line. “When John was out and Cruickshank was playing with Mcging and Stueve, I thought that was one of the best lines in the country,” Fabbrini said. “It’s great having your best players be your best players, but we need other guys to chip in night after night and moving those guys around allows us to do that.” Saturday’s victory was characterized by a stellar performance from both Mcging and the Illini defense. Goals by Olen and Cruickshank gave Illinois a 2-1 lead going into the second period, but then, Mcging took over. The sophomore wing scored two goals in the final two periods as well as registering two assists for the game, giving him three goals and four assists for the weekend. The rest of the Illini skaters couldn’t stay out of the penalty box, registering 14 penalty minutes and giv-

ing the Warriors six power play opportunities. Zev Grumet-Morris and the Illinois defense shut down Rochester’s offense in every man-down situation. Grumet-Morris recorded 39 saves over the weekend filling in for Joe Olen, who sat out the series for resting purposes. “It’s great knowing we have two guys that can be solid for us in net,” Cruickshank said. “It’s a major confident booster knowing anyone we have back there is going to give it their all.” A second-period Rochester goal and a third-period goal from Tyler Opilka rounded out the scoring for the game, giving the Illini a 5-2 win and the series sweep. Although the Illini are out of the CSCHL regular season title race, they can still win the conference tournament. If this weekend was any indicator of what fans can expect to see for the final two months of the season, then a tournament run is very probable for the Illini. “We’re trying to put ourselves in the best position possible for the tournament,” Fabbrini said. “Our most important game of the season is now the next game every time.”
