BOT nixes contract over conflict of interest

BY DARSHAN PATEL

Pileski officially introduced as student trustee

STAFF WRITER

CHICAGO — Under scrutiny from state officials, the University has nixed a $4.6 million contract with a local architectural firm over a possible conflict of interest.

The board of trustees’ decision, which came during executive session at its meeting Thursday, was made two days after the state’s Procurement Policy Board advised the University, for a second time, to void a contract that called Champaign-based BLDD Architects to manage a plan to restore the Natural History Building.

“It was a unanimous decision to pull away from that contract and move forward with another firm,” board of trustees chairman Christopher Kennedy said.

Questions were raised around Associate Director of Planning Jill Maxey’s role of preparing “programs that are used for facilities and the development of professional service agreements” in the $70 million project. She is married to BLDD employee and partial owner Bruce Maxey.

An interview request for Jill Maxey was directed to University spokesman Tom Hardy, who said she was “temporarily reassigned on Wednesday to a position in (Facilities and Services) with duties that would preclude any conflict or appearance of conflict with BLDD.” Under law, contract considerations that could raise ethical concerns are required to be brought up to Ben Bagby, the state’s procurement officer for higher education, who then alerts the procurement board for review — something the University didn’t do until more than a year after the original agreement was signed.

“While we are saddened by (Thursday’s) decision, we are gratified that all involved agree that BLDD made all required disclosures, showing its strong commitment to transparency throughout the process,” said Randy West, who manages higher education design projects for BLDD, in a statement.

Now the University plans to rebid the contract — likely adding to the cost of the overall project — despite the procurement board’s suggestion to negotiate with another bidder.

Meanwhile, state’s executive inspector general’s office is reviewing the circumstances because of a possible violation of law.

The initial contract was awarded in December 2010 for almost $370,000 for the “conceptualization” phase after BLDD was chosen from 34 bids. About a year later, the University

The Natural History Building, located on Green Street. awarded the firm $4.3 million more to continue working on the project.

But the procurement board was only alerted in the spring, leading a member at the April meeting to say that the University feels like it’s “above the law.” However, Kennedy does not think that is the case.

“What we do believe is that we should be held to a higher standard than a private corporation, which involves keeping the trust of the public,” he said.

According to the minutes of the April meeting, senior member Ed Bedore said the University seems to have a one-track mind that it only awards the contract to Jill Maxey’s husband’s firm. He added that other firms that originally bid on the project are historically known as top firms working on historical buildings, but that doesn’t matter to the University.

During that meeting, board members recommended, in a 4-0 vote, that the University pull out of the multi-million dollar deal because it could appear as a conflict.

The vote was unanimous even though Bagby told members that Jill Maxey had been “walled off,” saying there was not much evidence that her responsibilities, from her job description, raise conflict-of-interest concerns.

But ultimately, he ignored the advisory vote, giving the University the green light to proceed with plans.

A public hearing was held in early May because Bagby was required to do so after the board rejected the contract, according to the state’s procurement code. In the hearing, Jill Maxey testified that she and her husband did not talk about the contract.

However, at their meeting last Tuesday, board members again called out University officials, unanimously agreeing that the school should strike down the agreement.

Aaron Carter, the board’s executive director, said after the University’s decision that the procurement board was pleased with the “assertiveness without hesitation.”

“The difficulty lies with the fact that BLDD contracting with the University of Illinois creates a potential conflict of interest too concerning to disregard,” he said in a separate statement.

But this is not the first time the University has been questioned by the procurement board. Minutes of the July 2011 meeting show that members advised that BLDD’s response to a proposal to renovate the Assembly Hall should be disregarded. This came after Jill

CHICAGO – Former student body president David Pileski was officially introduced as the Urbana student representative at the board of trustees meeting Thursday.

During his one-year term, Pileski will serve on the Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee, which is chaired

by University alumnus Ed McMillan.

Pileski — who took over for Hannah Ehrenberg — said he already felt like a member of the board.

“There’s some things that have been discussed previously in sessions that I was not a part of, but I feel that I have been brought up to speed on those issues,” he said. “So I don’t feel left out.”

He will not be the student representative with the official vote, as Gov. Pat Quinn gave that honor to Springfield student trustee John Tienken. However, all three students traditionally vote in line with each other.

“Student perspective is critical as the board weighs decisions that will affect their academic future — and the generations of students who will follow them,” University President Robert Easter said. “I’m deeply grateful for their insights and their willingness to serve.”

Three student representatives — one from each campus — have served on the board since 1973, one having voting power each year since 1998.

Maxey’s role as a top construction planner dominated discussion.

At the trustees’ December meeting that year, they chose to move forward with Chicago-based AECOM as the engineering firm for the Assembly Hall project — the same day they approved an extension for the National History Building without notifying state officials.

Meanwhile, Kennedy said he does not believe this hurdle will delay the timetable for work on the 120-year-old Natural History Building, which houses geology, zoology and integrated biology classes within LAS.

Former President Hogan to teach history at Springfield campus

BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

July marks the first month of Robert Easter’s presidency at the University and the announcement of Michael Hogan’s new position at the University of Illinois at Springfield as a history professor.

Hogan, former University president, announced his resignation March 22 because of controversies and concerns about his leadership ability.

After his resignation, Hogan was given the choice to teach at any of the three campuses, and he chose Springfield.

He will be a distinguished professor of history at the Springfield campus. He signed his employment agreement July 14.

Hogan said their were two main factors at the Springfield campus that had influenced his choice.

“Among the factors in the decision to base my faculty appointment at the University of Illinois at Springfield are two of the key differentiators that distinguish UIS excellence — access in our state capital to the Abraham Lincoln presidential library and museum, and the campus’s international reputation for online learning,” Hogan said in a statement.

The end of his term as University president has been effective since July 1, and he will begin a one-year sabbatical for the upcoming 2012-2013 year. When he returns for the 2013-2014 academic year, Hogan will be required to teach a minimum of two academic courses each year with a minimum of one taught on campus in person – others could be online.

Hogan is an expert in American Foreign policy and International Relations. UIC campus Chancellor Susan Koch said Hogan will be expected to be an active scholar of the campus.

“Dr. Hogan is an accomplished scholar in history, and we expect he will be a positive academic addition to our outstanding faculty.”

During the summer period of July 2 to Aug. 15, Hogan will be receiving a monthly rate of one-ninth of full-time rate. The total amount of salary for the summer period will be $47,516.678.

Starting Aug. 16, Hogan will be receiving an initial academic year faculty salary of $285,100.

He will also be eligible for annual salary increases.

Local theaters stick to security standards

BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ AND RYAN WEBER ASSISTANT ASSIGNMENT EDITOR AND MANAGING EDITOR

For most people across the nation, this was just another fairly normal weekend. Some may have caught the blockbuster movie “The Dark Knight Rises,” released Friday, others may have gone to the local county fair, and some may have just relaxed, enjoying their time off work. But the weekend “The Dark Knight Rises” was released will be remembered for the attack on moviegoers early Friday morning at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. where 12 people were killed.

A short time after the shooting, “The Dark Knight Rises” director Christopher Nolan and some of its stars released statements sharing their thoughts with the victims in Colorado.

“Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community. I would not presume to know anything about the victims of the shooting but that they were there last night to watch a movie,” Nolan said in a statement. “I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.

Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families.”

“Words cannot express the horror that I feel,” Christian Bale said in a statement Saturday. “I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.”

Warner Bros. Pictures has also responded. They will not be reporting the box office numbers for the opening night of “The Dark Knight Rises” until Monday, although those numbers made it to The New York Times regardless, according to Vulture. Second, they canceled the Paris premiere of the film after learning about the shooting. Nolan and cast members also canceled the cast’s media interviews. Warner Bros. pulled a trailer for the film “Gangster Squad,” which features a scene where armed mob men shoot up a crowded movie theater from behind the screen.

Locally, theaters made sure they took their usual security measures more seriously.

“We’re reviewing our security policies with the Nation-

al Association of Theater Owners and the Department of Homeland Security, just to kind of make sure that what we do have in place is adequate,” said Melissa Garske, manager at the Savoy 16 Goodrich Quality Theater. “Obviously, everyone’s awareness is a little more heightened with this situation, but we do feel like the security measures we’ve had in place are pretty much exactly what we need to continue to do.”

Security will essentially remain as it is during any other large movie premiere, Garske said. They normally have a retired and armed police officer for security.

Faculty members rally together for equity, fairness, respect Campus Leader Coalition unites in hopes of support from new administration

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

They feel unappreciated, underpaid and overworked. And now faculty workers at the University think they have been lied to.

Faculty members see regular tuition raises.

They see their jobs being cut and having one person fill what used to be two or three different jobs, while administrators are receiving large sums in severance pay. That is why the rallying cry of those who chose to protest by the Alma Mater on Friday afternoon was a simple: “The University is not broke.

It’s broken.”

Almost 200 members of the Graduate Employees Organization, American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, Association of Academic Profes-

sionals, or AAP, and Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, stood together to create solidarity and rally against the University.

Together they make up the Campus Labor Coalition, representing more than 5,000 workers at the University.

Many of these workers feel they are not being fairly compensated, while the wages of top administrators are increasing.

“We want to educate the campus and the community about the problems we’re having in bargaining,” said Jim McGuire, president of AFSCME 698. “The unions that are negotiating now and the unions that will be negotiating soon are trying to get them to show them respect.”

McGuire presented findings which he believes show that the University has increased its spending and budget in recent years and the University has received more than $1.2 billion in new revenue in the last five years.

Ricky Baldwin, chief negotiator for SEIU Local 73, said coming together was key for the groups.

“When things get bad, we’ve got to show them we’ll stand together,” Baldwin said.

McGuire hopes that President Robert Easter, who officially took the title as President earlier this month, will be more supportive than past presidents. The workers took the rally from the Alma Mater to the entrance of the Henry Administration Building, a symbolic gesture they have made during past rallies.

Some of their picket signs read “Equity, Fairness, Respect,” “Chop from the Top” and a majority of participants held up bright orange flyers with their slogan that “the University is not Broke, it’s Broken” and “solidarity.

Rallying cries of “No contract, no peace,” and “Whose university? Our University” gained the attention of people on the Quad.

“It helps the community when all of our wages are increased, and it helps the economy,” McGuire said.

University spokeswoman Robin Kaler could not be reached for comment.

UI, Coursera partner to educate masses

Illinois becomes first land-grant university to join Stanford-based online collaboration, offering 10 free online classes

BY ELIOT SILL ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

The University announced last week that it would partner with Coursera to offer an assortment of free classes online to the public.

Coursera, according to its website a “social entrepreneurship company,” is partnered with 16 universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University, the University of Toronto and the University of Michigan.

Illinois is among the latest to join with the website and the first land-grant university to do so. Chancellor Phyllis Wise said in a mass email that it was “a red-letter day” for the University.

“This serves our land-grant mission by sharing knowledge with people who can’t physically come to our campus, and it allows us to introduce ourselves to prospective students and lifelong learners across our state and around the globe,” Wise wrote.

Stanford University’s Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller founded Courser, which follows in the same vein as Udacity, a similar project also founded by Stanford professors. Offering college-level courses to the public free of charge, as it turned out, was a very popular idea.

“The thing that amazed everybody is that suddenly these courses had 100,000 people signing up. And, whoosh, you know, the whole massive, online, open course thing was born,” said Rob Rutenbar, a computer science professor who helped put the partnership together. Rutenbar will be teaching a Coursera MOOC, or massive open online course.

While all these programs, including the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology and Harvard University collaborative nonprofit project edX, have roots in computer science, Coursera has expanded to include subjects ranging from astronomy to science-fiction literature to the Affordable Care Act. Coursera currently offers 111 different courses, all of which can be taken for free, though that may change, as Coursera is a for-profit organization.

“In the future we will be pursuing monetization strategies, though no plans are being put into action at this time,” Ng and Koller wrote in a co-authored email. They said Coursera will always offer courses for free, but they eventually want to generate income to sustain the business. Of the courses currently offered, 10 are taught by University professors.

Though Coursera is an ambitious and, thus far, successful project, the founders said they did not foresee organizations like Coursera replacing typical college education.

“We envision Coursera being integrated into universities and colleges, not replacing traditional classes but rather enhancing the learning experience for students,” they wrote.

“One way that this can be done is through the Flipped Classroom model, where students watch video lectures online prior to coming to class and then use regular class time to engage with the material on a deeper level.”

As for Illinois, the Coursera partnership presents an opportunity to showcase Illinois coursework to countless people who previously may have not have had the chance.

“The on-campus version, the opportunity to be physically in my class with 50 other people, that’s unique,” Rutenbar said.

“That’s what’s going to bring people to Champaign-Urbana, but we offer for the first time to share in a deep way, a little

bit of what our teaching looks like. We think that’s going to be stupendous in terms of attracting smart people to come to the University of Illinois.”

Rutenbar related it to the mid-1990s, when the Internet was becoming popular.

“A lot of us are standing back going, ‘Wow, this is probably going to be big,’” he said. “Do we know where this is going to be in 10 years? Nope, I’d be lying if I said I did. But we all think it’s important for the best universities, and we are one of them, to be part of the conversation.”

Muslims celebrate Ramadan Islamic month of fasting, worship, refrainment leads community to grow closer with God, each other

BY MAGGIE O’CONNOR STAFF WRITER

As the sun dipped below the horizon Friday evening, Muslim friends and family filed into the Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic Center to celebrate the first day of Ramadan.

The air buzzed with excited chatter at the end of this day of fasting and greetings of “Ramadan mubarak,” or “blessed Ramadan,” could be heard amid the playful shouts of children.

“It’s exciting,” Hanan Jaber, incoming freshman in LAS said. “We believe in this month that Satan is locked up and the gates of heaven are open, so everyone is in that spiritual high.”

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, began at dawn July 20. During Ramadan, Muslims eat before the sun comes up to sustain themselves for the day-long fast that follows.

Fasting, however, includes more than just turning down food and drink. Muslims must abstain from anything that Allah would consider unlawful, Abdullah Jabbar, sophomore in LAS said. Sexual relations, lying, smoking, and mistreatment of others are all considered especially offensive during the holy days of Ramadan, graduate student Abdelaadim Bidaoui said. In the past, he added, MELISSA MCCABE THE DAILY ILLINI people would be stoned if they were seen eating in public during Ramadan, though that practice is no longer Ayah Jaber, 10, flashes a peace sign at the Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic Center in Urbana where Muslims gathered to break their widely accepted. fast on the first day of Ramadan on Friday.

Media have duty to cover tragedies, shootings MELISSA MCCABE Photo editor

EDITORIAL

Despite distance, Colorado tragedy hits close to home L

ike millions of others worldwide, there was a large number of University students who attended the midnight premier of the highly anticipated film “The Dark Knight Rises” in Champaign on Friday.

Some dressed to take the form of the Caped Crusader for the night, while others settled for T-shirts with the unmistakable Batman logo ironed on their shirts. This was an event for a younger demographic.

At some point during the showing at a theater in Aurora, Colo., the moviegoing experience was interrupted by a shooting rampage by a gunman and his semiautomatic assault rifle.

The alleged shooter, James Holmes, is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 in one of the worst mass shootings in American history.

“This could have happened to anyone” is an especially apropos phrase that comes to mind.

The gunman opened fire on a different version of us.

The events in Colorado are overwhelming

and troubling. The ritual of going to the movie theater is so ingrained in the American psyche as safe and fun, and a horrific man took advantage of the ritual to fill a theater with lethal ammunition.

If only Batman were real. Perhaps he could have stopped the tragedy.

Talks regarding the merits of gun control will come, but this is also a time for mourning and reflection.

It can be argued that a national headline hasn’t hit as close to home to college students as this since the shootings at Northern Illinois.

We at The Daily Illini send our sincerest regrets to the Aurora community and especially to those affected by attack.

P

eople love action movies. The violence, the suspense, the death. The flawed yet endearing hero or heroine and his or her uncompromising evil adversary. It gets their adrenaline pumping and their heartbeats racing like few other things can, from the opening lines to the all-butinevitable triumphant end. They’re exciting and thrilling, just like they’re intended to be.

But when these elements are translated off-screen, this story goes by a different name: tragedy. Such was the case at the shooting in Aurora, Colo., this past week at the midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” for the victims and their families and friends, as well as the rest of the nation.

Often, when public massacres occur, such as the Columbine massacre in 1999 and movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., the media are encouraged, sometimes begged, by psychiatrists and others not to lavish attention on the event. No extended coverage. No breaking news. No borderline obsessive attention paid to the killer(s) or even the victims. The idea behind this is that doing so would encourage others to attempt similar atrocities or even copycat shootings, such as those that followed the Columbine High School and Virginia Tech shootings.

From a practical standpoint, I understand this completely. It would be in the interest of the general public to tone down coverage so that more events like it do not happen in the near future.

However, we, the media, believe we have a duty to you, the public, to keep you informed and up-to-date on important developments in your country and your world. That is what we do and what we have done since the creation of newspapers and modern news media. And it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Asking us to do any different would be asking us not to do our duty to you. To not report on the victims would be to dishonor them as well as those they’ve left behind.

So we continue to do what we do, potentially perpetuating a vicious cycle that is not our fault but possibly, sometimes, an unintended consequence of what we do. But we do it because we believe in it.

Melissa is a junior in LAS.

Bulls set to play at the Assembly Hall

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

It’s been four years in the making for Kevin Ullestad. Ever since 2008, when the director of the Assembly Hall brought Champaign what was in many ways the perfect preseason NBA basketball game — the Chicago Bulls, who hold the rooting interest of most of the community — versus the Utah Jazz, which brought former Illini point guard Deron Williams back to town. Ullestad remembered the success and excitement in the city for that game.

“Very successful game and very well received by our market and our community,” Ullestad said. “Of course, there’s a lot of Bulls fans here and the icing on the cake was for Deron to show.”

Now, Ullestad delivered it again.

For only the seventh time in franchise history, the Bulls are coming back to Assembly Hall. They will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 12 for a preseason matchup that already generated a lot of buzz around the community.

“We wanted to get the info out a little early and make sure everybody’s aware and get the excitement going,” Ullestad said. “This

will be one of our biggest events we do all year ... and this will be one of the tops as far as economic impact in the community.”

In many ways this game could be bigger.

The Bulls are coming off a season in which they had the best record in the NBA, but former NBA MVP Derrick Rose will be out with a torn ACL. However, the Bulls will feature a lot of new pieces that fans will get a chance to see on display. And then it’s not something the Champaign-Urbana community gets to see often. Before the 2008 game the Bulls hadn’t played in Champaign since 1989. So for the past seven years, Ullestad has been trying to get on the Bulls preseason radar and maintain a working relationship with the Bulls having preseason games hosted in Champaign with a lot more regularity than in the past.

Ullestad says he believes NBA rules would likely prevent the team from making an appearance every year in Champaign, but knows that this event will bring a lot of publicity to the Assembly Hall.

“It’s a good marriage, a good relationship working with the Bulls,” he said. “It makes sense. ... They’re excited about coming down THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO and we’re excited to have them.”

Paterno statue torn down in wake of child sex abuse scandal

BY MARC LEVY ASSOCIATED PRESS

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The famed statue of Joe Paterno was taken down from outside the Penn State football stadium Sunday as the NCAA announced it would be issuing sanctions against the university whose top officials were accused in a scathing report of burying child sex abuse allegations against a now-convicted retired assistant.

Workers lifted the 7-foot-tall statue off its base and used a forklift to move it into Beaver Stadium as the 100 to 150 students watched, some chanting, “We are Penn State.”

The university announced earlier Sunday that it was taking down the monument in the wake of an investigative report that found the late coach and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse claims against Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky was convicted last month of 45 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys.

Meanwhile, the NCAA said that it would ABBY DREY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS levy “corrective and punitive measures” A worker hangs a blue tarp over the fence that against Penn State over the Sandusky scandal. The organization announced Sunday that was installed around the Joe Paterno statue it would spell out the sanctions on Monday as crews worked to remove the statue in State College, Pa. on Sunday. The university announced but disclosed no details.

NCAA President Mark Emmert hasn’t Sunday that it was taking down the monument ruled out the possibility of shutting down in the wake of an investigative report that found that the late coach and three other top Penn State the Penn State football program in the wake administrators concealed sex abuse claims against of the scandal, adding that he had “never seen anything as egregious.”

not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community.”

“We believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth,” said the family, which vowed its own investigation following the release of the report by former FBI director Louis Freeh. The family called the report “the equivalent of an indictment — a charging document written by a prosecutor — and an incomplete and unofficial one at that.”

Paterno’s widow, Sue, and two of the Paternos’ children visited the statue Friday as students and fans lined up to get their pictures taken with the landmark. The statue, weighing more than 900 pounds, was built in 2001 in honor of Paterno’s record-setting 324th Division I coaching victory and his “contributions to the university.”

Penn State President Rod Erickson said he decided to have the statue removed and put into storage because it “has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing.”

“I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse,” Erickson said in a statement.

Construction vehicles and police arrived shortly after dawn Sunday, barricading the street and sidewalks near the statue, erecting a chain-link fence, then concealing the statue with a blue tarp. Workers then used jackhammers to free the statue and a fork-

lift to lower it onto a flat-bed truck that rolled into stadium garage bay about 100 feet away.

Many of those watching the removal stared in disbelief, and at least one woman wept, while others expressed anger at the decision.

“I think it was an act of cowardice on the part of the university,” said Mary Trometter, of Williamsport, who wore a shirt bearing Joe Paterno’s image. She said she felt betrayed by university officials, saying they promised openness but said nothing about the decision until just before the removal work began.

Dozens later gathered to watch and listen to the sound of sawing, scraping and shoveling as white-helmeted workers behind tarpaulins removed Paterno’s name and various plaques from the walls behind where the statue had stood. Shortly before midday, all that appeared to remain was the bare concrete and stone.

Much of the work was hidden by blue tarps strung across temporary chain link fences while barricades kept observers on the other side of the street. Few watching said they understood the decision and feared what kind of punishment the NCAA would pile on.

Derek Leonard, 31, a university construction project coordinator who grew up in the area, said the construction workers on the project told him it was like watching a funeral when the statue was lowered onto the truck and then rolled away. He didn’t completely agree with the decision but worried more that the NCAA would shut down the football program.

“It’s going to kill our town,” he said.

Beckman: Football program’s depth ‘of major concern’ Illini head football coach talks about career transition, recruiting, upcoming season

BY ELIOT SILL ASSIGNMENT EDITOR

For college football programs nationwide, the time between recruiting and training camp is a period of downtime where coaches and players cannot interact, with the exception of strength and conditioning coaches accompanying players during workouts. The Daily Illini caught up with Illinois head coach Tim Beckman to check in on how the offseason has gone so far, and what to expect for the upcoming year.

The Daily Illini: What has been your best moment so far since you’ve been named head coach at Illinois?

Tim Beckman: I guess being named head coach right now. I mean, we haven’t played a game or been involved in any of those things so far, but the moment and the opportunity to become the head football coach here, and the 23rd head football coach, that’s a blessing and something that my family’s very excited to be a part of, and the part of being at the University of Illinois and the Champaign-Urbana community.

DI: How has the transition been? Has it been what you had expected?

TB: I think any time, I mean this is — I’m not a rookie at this. It’s the second opportunity I’ve had to be a head football coach, and the first six months are always challenging. You’re bringing in a new culture, you’re bringing in a new system and you’re trying to input it in the best way you possibly can, and in the fastest way you possibly can. I think the players have done a good job. Yes, we have had some that weren’t willing to do what we asked them to do, but they’ve moved on, and our players are continuing to get better and better at the things that we ask our players to do.

DI: How’s recruiting been going for you?

TB: I think that my coaching staff’s done a fabulous job. I mean, if you look on Rivals, or if you look on Scout, we’re in the top 25 in the country. But that’s also star system, that’s not about — we haven’t played a game yet with any of the men that’ve committed to us. And that commitment is a commitment, it’s a verbal commitment. We’ve got to recruit hard until signing day, that first Wednesday in February. We’ve got great numbers, great players and great people that have wanted to be a part of this program. So we just gotta continue and finish with one of the top recruiting classes in the country.

DI: What about the players you inherited? How has it been inheriting players who are talented, but don’t necessarily fit into your recruiting bill?

TB: That’s a tough one. Change is always considered tough if that’s the way you perceive it. But I will say this team has been very willing, and it was a process, whenever you’re dealing with culture change, it is a process. I’m very proud of the way and the willingness of this foot-

ball team to get to: ‘This is the way it’s gonna be. This is the way we’re gonna set these standards.’ And they’re very capable of accepting what we feel is necessary to win ball games and to get quality educations and to give back to the community. So I’ve been proud of the way they’ve responded to that.

DI: Which specific position group most needs to step up to take this team to the level it wants to reach this season?

TB: I’ll put a finger in just a second, but the depth of this football program is of major concern. People are gonna have to grow up and accept their role quickly — guys that haven’t played very much football, very much college football — so that’s a major concern. The offensive line, with the depth concerns, is definitely one of the groups that needs to be able to perform and stay healthy and do the things that are necessary for them to be successful because the game, to me, is still won in the trenches. Our wide receivers, we don’t have the number of scholarship football players that, probably, anybody does in the country. That’s gonna be a situation that, again depth issues, we’re gonna have to stay healthy and need some freshmen to step in and help us play there.

DI: With A.J. Jenkins gone, do you look to someone to fill his role or will the offense spread the ball around more?

TB: I think the passing game was A.J. Jenkins last year, and he was a tremendous football player. ... It’s not gonna be just one guy that’s the main guy, it’s gonna be the whole group, including running backs getting the football and being able to utilize people that we’ve talked about before. Taking Terry Hawthorne and letting him play wide receiver a little bit, or Justin Greene playing wide receiver a little bit, or Miles Osei being able to go from quarterback to wide receiver. All

those things are things that we’re gonna have to do because of the number of scholarship wide receivers we have.

DI: At the quarterback position, would you be more likely to try playing both Reilly O’Toole and Nathan Scheelhaase, or are you looking to find the better one and go with one quarterback?

TB: Well I mean, that’s what two-a-days are for. Going into spring ball and after spring ball was over, Nathan was the one that was in front of Reilly, but Reilly also had a great spring game. So we’ll utilize two-a-days and then make that decision when it’s necessary. Nathan Scheelhaase has won football games here and has taken this team to back-to-back bowls, and bowl victories, so he does have that. But Reilly’s also proven in 15 days of practice that he’s capable of doing it also so we’ll utilize two-a-days and can make that decision. That’s why we’ve also taken Miles and moved him out to wide receiver, plus running back and quarterback. So at times, you could definitely have two guys, two quarterbacks on the field at the same time.

DI: So you have no philosophical stance one way or the other?

TB: We’re gonna play players that can win.

DI: What makes you so confident that you can turn this program around from the inconsistencies and lack of success it’s experienced in recent years?

TB: It’s the plan that we’ve come up with, it’s been proven and it’s been done. We had the same issues at Toledo before we got there and it wasn’t an immediate. It was a five-win season, but then it went to the bowl type atmosphere where we were building a consistent winner. And I think you do that with recruiting, and that’s what we feel that we need to do to continue this process of building a team that can win every year. It is a process, but it

is a plan to get the best players we possibly can that fit this program. They might not be a Rivals five-star, they might be a Rivals three-star, but so was Troy Smith and so was A.J. Hawk — they weren’t even any stars and both of them ended up taking that football team to multiple Big Ten championships. It’s about getting the right people in the right fits into your program.

DI: How much pressure are you putting on yourself to win immediately?

TB: That’s been my career, if you look at it in the last nine years, I’ve been to a bowl game in every one of them except for one, so there’s no question I like to win. I liked to be involved in winning.

We did that in Ohio State, we did that at Oklahoma State, we did it at Bowling Green prior to that and then we also did it at Toledo, so I would like to think that we can do that as quickly as possible and to be a contender as quickly as possible.

DI: What would you mark as a successful first season for your team?

TB: We don’t mark that by W’s and L’s.

I want this football team to get better every practice. I want this football team to get better every series and get better every quarter and get better every game.

We set standards that we wanna accomplish after the first three football games, then the six, then the nine, then the 12.

And I want them to be achievable goals based on the opponents that you’re playing at that time. It’s something that I’ve been around that’s been very successful for our football teams. So the goal is to be in the championship game on 12-1-12.

We need to be at Lucas Oil. If that’s not your goal, then you really shouldn’t be playing the football game. Our goal is to be at Lucas Oil on 12-1-12, and we’re gonna try to strive, each week, to be able to achieve that goal.

Much to discuss at Big Ten summit DAN WELIN Sports columnist

With a third University president in three years, the scandals surrounding former President Michael Hogan and the Law school’s admission process, and the firings of the football and men’s and women’s basketball coaches, Illini fans seemed to be having a rough year compared to their conference counterparts.

That is, until the child sex scandal surfaced at Penn State University and has now morphed into an absolute nightmare for the university, its long-time and once-golden head coach Joe Paterno, the football program he built from the ground up and the conference they play in.

The Big Ten did not do themselves any favors declining to play coverage of the Freeh Report announcement on its airwaves, and didn’t make it any better claiming they weren’t a news organization.

Isn’t announcing the hiring of coaches and signing of recruits news?

The decision to take down Paterno’s statue and news of a Monday press conference to announce severe penalties is a start, but there will be plenty of questions and press in regards to that topic at the Big Ten Football Media Days on Thursday and Friday this week.

While of a different category than those directed toward Happy Valley, questions are abundant as the conference didn’t have much positive publicity within the last year.

Last November, the athletic directors from both the Big Ten and Pac-12 met and agreed to partner their conferences for football scheduling purposes. On July 13, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany announced the partnership was no more.

In what was a power move by both conferences to create strong schedules for members of both parties and premier matchups for fans in September, it is expected the Big Ten will revisit having nine-game conference schedules. Doesn’t sound as cool as a Nebraska-USC or Michigan-Oregon game, does it?

With the SEC claiming the last six BCS National Championship Games and the Big Ten’s continued struggles against its main threat to conference superiority (the SEC), it’s going to be interesting to see how the lack of national success will be addressed by the Big Ten. Ohio State won the Big Ten’s last BCS National Championship in 2002. The Buckeyes appeared in the game two more times in 2006 and 2007, overmatched by Florida and LSU, respectively.

Other than Ohio State, who will serve its one-year bowl ban this season, the Big Ten hasn’t had a representative competing for the championship game since the BCS format was introduced in 1998. (Technically Nebraska appeared in the 2001 Championship Game, but as a member of the Big 12 Conference.)

Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska and Wisconsin figure to be good and will work their ways into the BCS bowl game picture,

but a national title game appearance seems unlikely.

Though it’s the first game of the season and they’ll have three months to rebound, the Wolverines will see just how well they match up against the SEC as they open against defending champion Alabama at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Regardless, the Big Ten is at somewhat of a disadvantage in competing with the SEC due to its higher academic standards throughout the conference and the chilly winters it has to offer; but good football is good football, and the Big Ten can’t say it has been good on the national level in recent years.

The conference’s perceived infatuation with the Rose Bowl game and its role in delaying the format of how a four-team playoff would work didn’t help the Big Ten. It’s still in the early stages of development, but the details aren’t known and the way the Big Ten factors into its inception is going to command a lot of attention.

The addition of three new head coaches offer some light and fresh commentary on the issues facing the conference, but two of those three newcomers aren’t inheriting pretty situations.

The aforementioned one-year bowl ban and recruiting penalties suffered under former head coach Jim Tressel facing new Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, not to mention his track record of building powerful programs and his prowess recruiting NFL-caliber players at Florida, give him plenty of fuel to challenge the critics to begin his national power reclamation project and how he can bring SEC talent to the Big Ten. When new Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien addresses the media, it’s going to be the first time in 46 years that Joe Paterno won’t. The football program was already on somewhat of a decline success-wise and now faces obvious further issues. Just the sound of O’Brien’s voice is going to be newsworthy.

It’s a shame someone who has nothing to do with the past has to deal with this, but he knew what he was getting into and is getting paid well to handle it.

Illinois doesn’t have the same image issues Ohio State and Penn State have, but that doesn’t mean new Illinois head coach Tim Beckman won’t be generating any headlines.

His mind is always geared toward football and his energetic personality makes you want to hear what he has to say.

Beckman will be sure to have some words on the fight for Chicago with in-state rival Northwestern, how he plans to continue the stellar defense the Illini played last year and fix the stagnant offense that was the main downfall to the 0-6 finish to the regular season.

The perception issues surrounding the conference and the 12 teams are just as prevalent as they have been in previous years, but the Penn State scandal will no doubt be a main focal point of these media days.

The conference and the teams within it are going to approach the season with beleaguered hope and optimism to fix these issues.

Big Ten fans everywhere hope it isn’t wishful thinking.

Santo, Larkin inducted into Hall of Fame Cubs 3rd baseman raised $65 million for diabetes charities JOHN KELIS ASSOCIATED PRESS

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Barry Larkin lost it before he even started. Vicki Santo never wavered as she honored her late husband, Ron. Baseball’s highest honor always seems to leave a special impression on those directly involved.

Larkin, the former star shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, and Ron Santo, a standout third baseman for the Chicago Cubs and later a beloved broadcaster for the team, were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Ron Santo didn’t live to experience the day he always dreamed of. Plagued by health problems, he died Dec. 3, 2010, at the age of 70. His long battle with diabetes cost him both legs below the knees, but he ultimately died of complications from bladder cancer.

A member of the Chicago Cubs organization for the better part of five decades as a player (1960-74) and then beloved broadcaster (1990-2010), Santo was selected by the Veterans Committee in December, exactly one year after his death.

In 15 major league seasons, all but one with the Cubs, Santo was one of the top third basemen in major league history. He compiled a .277 batting average, had 2,254 hits, 1,331 RBIs and 365 doubles in 2,243 games. He also was a tireless fundraiser for juvenile diabetes, raising more than $65 million.

Santo fought serious medical problems after he retired as a player. He underwent surgery on his eyes, heart and bladder after doctors discovered cancer. He also had surgery more than a dozen times on his legs before they were amputated below the knees — the right one in 2001 and the left a year later.

As a broadcaster, Santo was known for unabashedly rooting for the Cubs, a trait that endeared him to fans who nev-

er saw him play.

“I want you to know that he loved you so much, and he would be grateful that you came here to share this with him,” Vicki Santo said to the fans. “He fought the good fight, and though he’s no longer here we need to find a cure (for juvenile diabetes). He felt he had been put here for that reason. He believed in his journey. He believed in his cause. We can’t let him down.”

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Larkin was a two-sport star at Moeller High School and thought he might become a pro football player after accepting a scholarship to play college ball at Michigan for Bo Schembechler. That changed in a hurry.

“He (Schembechler) redshirted me my freshman year and told me that he was going to allow me just to play baseball,” Larkin said. “Occasionally, I’d call him while I was playing in the big leagues and told him that was the best decision he made as a football coach. He didn’t like that too much.”

Drafted fourth by the Reds in 1985, despite playing just 41 games his first year Larkin finished seventh in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1986.

Two years later, Larkin was an All-Star with a .296 average, 91 runs scored, 32 doubles and 40 stolen bases. And with a host of older players to guide him — Eric Davis, Ron Oester, Buddy Bell, player-manager Pete Rose, a Cincinnati native, slugger Tony Perez, and even star shortstop Dave Concepcion, the man he would replace — Larkin’s major league career quickly took off.

“I played with some monumental figures in the game,” said Larkin, who was introduced to baseball by his dad at the age of 5. “They helped me through some very rough times as a player.”

Larkin, who played his entire 19-year career with the Reds, retired after the 2004 season with a .295 career average, 2,340 hits, 1,329 runs scored and 379 stolen bases.

Two inductees were honored Saturday in a ceremony at Doubleday Field. Former catcher Tim McCarver received the Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions in broadcasting, while Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun was given the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for sports writing.

St. Louis completes 3-game series sweep against Chicago

BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — For the third straight game, a St. Louis Cardinals starter thrived with get-me-by stuff. There was more than enough offense again, too.

Lance Lynn won his 12th game with six mostly spotless innings, and Matt Holliday and Carlos Beltran homered on consecutive pitches to put the finishing touches on a 7-0 victory Sunday that completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

The weekend was near perfect for the World Series champions, who were 1-5 and totaled 15 runs in their first trip after the All-Star break.

“We’re in a good rhythm now,” Lynn said.

“We just need to stay there.”

Jon Jay and Tony Cruz hit consecutive two-run doubles off Travis Wood (4-5) in the first for St. Louis, which outscored the Cubs 23-1 and outhit them 38-16 for their sweep over Chicago since June 3-5, 2011 in St. Louis.

It’s just their second series sweep overall at home, where they’re 26-20.

The Cardinals have had strong pitching most of the year, and rookie manager Mike Matheny has been waiting for a spotty lineup to produce consistently. St. Louis leads

“We’re in a good rhythm now.

We just need to stay here.”

LANCE LYNN Cardinals pitcher

the National League with a .276 average and 464 runs.

“You see guys having big numbers and our record really wasn’t indicative of that,” Matheny said. “It’s just a matter of kind of putting it together and those hits falling in timely spots.

“That was probably one of the more frustrating things with the trip we just had.

Hopefully we can ride this out for a while.”

Lynn (12-4) has allowed just one run in 19 innings his last three starts. Like Kyle Lohse, who allowed a run in seven innings Friday, and Jake Westbrook, who put up seven scoreless innings Saturday, the righthander had to work for his outs.

“It was one of those days that commandwise I wasn’t where I needed to be early in the count,” Lynn said. “But I was able to make pitches to get out of situations. You’ve got to do that sometimes.”

Fernando Salas and Marc Rzepczynski

finished a combined five-hitter as the Cardinals earned consecutive shutouts for the first time since Oct. 1-2, 2010, against the Rockies.

The Cubs’ 14-5 record entering the series was the best in the majors over that span. Aside from pitching woes with Ryan Dempster’s 33-inning scoreless streak ending and Matt Garza lasting just three innings, the offense ended the game with 25 onsecutive scoreless innings and was 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position in the series, including seven chances Sunday.

“It’s very tough,” said cleanup man Alfonso Soriano, who was 1 for 11 with five strikeouts in the series. “I think you have to give a lot of credit to St. Louis, they pitched very well and have a very good team, a very good offense. I think we forget this weekend.”

Attendance of 42,411 just missed a third straight sellout, with some fans perhaps scared off by forecasts of triple-digit temperatures. It was 94 degrees at game time.

Holliday also doubled in the first, giving St. Louis a two-game total of 12 one day after tying the decades-old major league record with seven. The Cardinals also tied the franchise record with a 12-run seventh against four Cubs relievers in that game Saturday.

PUZZLE BY SHARON DELORME

DOONESBURY

BY GARRY TRUDEAU

HOROSCOPES Today’s birthday (7/23/12). Aim high!

This year you achieve more if you set goals that seem out of reach. Then study ways and means to move forward. Following big dreams can be as easy as allowing the plot to unfold without interference. Don’t let incidental stress deter your from your objective.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 6. Take careful aim as you pursue independent action. Other people want to jump on the bandwagon. But today’s for you. Wait to take passengers.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 5. Think through yesterday’s work. Edit carefully, and then present to the public.

People need time to absorb these ideas, before making decisions.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 6. Get out of town with a favorite person.

You both need time off to rejuvenate and refresh. Spending time outdoors replenishes your spirit.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 5. Begin the day by seeking a solution to a financial question. Explore unusual avenues, and you find answers that satisfy both your wallet and values.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.

Someone else is pulling the strings, regarding money matters. A healthy attitude would be to allow them the reins, as long as you reserve the right of final decision.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 5. You begin to wonder if everyone’s ideas

will fit into one finished project. Keep any ideas removed from the mix for the future.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 5. If there was ever a day to spread some love around, this is it. Share a smile with everyone you meet. Remove criticism from the conversation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 5. Home is not where your heart is right now. That part of you has gone on vacation, in a sunny locale. Keep your mind focused on today’s tasks.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 5. Research a potential vacation site.

Imagine yourself there, with family or companions. Share your vision before you confirm reservations.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 5. Today feels rather dull, as you tackle

questions from the financial department.

You see the potential for the future. Budget to get there.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 6. Imagination gets inspired by a dream or meditation symbol. Use it to develop a story to grow the spark. Read it to a friend before publishing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 5. Unique ideas face an uphill battle with a controlling person. Don’t plan on getting everything you want. Settle for what you need.
