Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise resigns amidst controversy Dean of LAS Barbara Wilson will step in as acting chancellor BY ABIGALE SVOBODA NEWS EDITOR
DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO
Illinois’ Matt Bollant, head coach, disagrees with the referee on a call during the game against Ohio State at the State Farm Center on Saturday, February 14. Bollant has been accused of racial abuse.
University athletics face summer filled with lawsuits Soccer, women’s basketball, football among sports affected This article was originally published on June 8. DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Former Illinois soccer player Casey Conine is suing the University of Illinois, Associate Director of Athletics Kent Brown, confirmed on Monday. Brown declined to comment because the lawsuit is still underway. The New York Times reported the defendants named in the lawsuit were Athletic Trainer Brittany Scott, Athletic Director Mike Thomas and head coach Janet Rayfield.
Conine said she had collided with a goalkeeper during a game against Northwestern, and she was not checked for a concussion. Two days later, she was diagnosed with a concussion, Conine told the Times. Conine is suing on the basis that the mishandling of the concussion ended her soccer career. *** This article was originally published on July 31. I l li nois head football coach Tim Beckman
approached the podium on the first day of Big Ten Media Days in Chicago with questions to answer. The fourth-year coach met with the media for the first time since player allegations of abuse and medical mistreatment were made public in May. In his 15-minute session, while Beckman received numerous questions about his coaching style and general questions about the allegations, he didn’t dive into specifics because the investigation is ongoing. Beckman instead took every question he faced and turned the audience’s attention to the Illini’s Sept. 4 season opener against Kent State. “You handle it and focus
on the future,” Beckman said. “You focus on your current football team. You respect what other people might be saying, but you focus on making this team better.” Allegations surfaced in May when former offensive lineman Simon Cvijanovic tweeted several accusations of player abuse and injury mistreatment at the hands of Beckman. Several other former players at Illinois and Toledo — where he was the head coach before coming to Illinois — have come out against Beckman. The claims forced the University to hire a Chicago law firm to independently investigate the allegations.

Although she had to submit it twice, the University ultimately accepted Phyllis Wise’s resignation as chancellor of the Urbana campus on Aug. 14. Wise’s resignation was first announced in a University press release on Aug. 6, citing external factors that “diverted much-needed attention and energy from (the University’s) goals.” Immediately following the resignation, Tom Hardy, University spokesperson, said it was “definitely unexpected” but President Timothy Killeen “(wasn’t) wasting any time” in naming an acting chancellor and beginning the search for a new permanent chancellor. At an emergency Board of Trustees executive committee meeting on Aug. 12 the committee named Barbara Wilson, dean of LAS, as acting chancellor of the Urbana campus. The nomination came after Killeen publicly recommended Wilson that morning. “She has a wealth of experience and familiarity with the operations of the chancellor’s office, she’s talented, she’s accomplished, she’s loyal, and she’s willing to step into this role,” Killeen said. Wilson said she was surprised by the decision but is committed to continuing to work in her new
role with the University administration. “My goal is to consult with people and work closely with the faculty, students, staff, alumni, with the provost’s office,” she said. “I’m a very collaborative person. Anybody who knows me knows that’s my reputation.” Matt Hill, vice president external of the Illinois Student Senate, said Killeen asked academic senators for their input when appointing an acting chancellor. “I thought that was a strong gesture on (Killeen’s) behalf,” Hill said, adding that Gay Miller, SEC chair, also asked senators for input, which was another “strong point of the selection process.” Wilson, 57, will continue serving as the dean of LAS, and will not serve as the permanent chancellor. Wilson said she will make a total salary of $397,500, for both positions. She previously made $325,000 as the dean of LAS. At the same meeting, the committee decided not to accept Wise’s resignation, instead stating the University would initiate formal dismissal procedures, including a hearing where Wise would be able to present her case and defend her decisions as chancellor. In the meantime, the committee stated she would be reassigned as Killeen’s advisor with a focus on biology. Chairman of the Board Edward McMillan said although only the three members of the executive committee, McMillian, James Montgomery and

AAUP votes to censure University administration Censure follows University decision to rescind Steven Salaita’s offer of employment BY ABIGALE SVOBODA AND JASON CHUN NEWS EDITOR AND ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR
This article was originally published on June 13. The University administration officially lost the approval of the American Association of University Professors on June 13. However, many argue censure has been a long time coming. Almost 100 members of the AAUP voted to censure the administration at its annual Conference on the State of Higher Education at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., after the University rescinded Steven Salaita’s offer of employment.
“Censure results from the Association’s findings that conditions for academic freedom and tenure are unsatisfactory at a college or university,” according to the association’s website. The AAUP’s 1940 Statement of Principles asserts universities exist for the “common good,” which is dependent on the free search for — and the expression of — truth. On its site the AAUP states that a university that inhibits such expression cannot fulfill its basic purpose. The University is now the only school of its size — and in the Big 10 conference — to be placed on the current censure list. The list is published to inform the public, universities and association members
of the violations of academic freedom and tenure that have occurred at universities. The AAUP stresses that censure is not placed on faculty members or the institution as a whole, but only on the administration, including the officers and governing board. “Censure is the highest condemnation of the actions of an administration by the leading faculty organization, so it is a powerful statement that something is terribly wrong at UIUC,” said John Wilson, co-editor of the AAUP blog Academe. Wilson said the main purpose of censure is to “put a spotlight” on issues

UI hit with major mumps outbreak BY MARIAH SCHAEFER STAFF WRITER
This article was originally published on July 30. A mumps outbreak that started around April at the University has continued to produce cases of the viral illness. According to Rachella Thompson-Brown, communicable disease investigator at the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, there have been around 97 cases of mumps reported in Champaign County, and the majority have been on campus. She said there have been about 86 cases of mumps at the University and 11 cases in the surrounding community. “This is one of our largest outbreaks,â€? said Dr. Robert Palinkas, director of McKinley Health Center. “We generally have a few cases of mumps almost every year ‌ Having this number of cases is more than we have seen in a decade.â€?
Thompson-Brown said health officials do not quite know how the outbreak started, but most people who contracted the viral illness had been vaccinated against it in the past. “What we’ve been seeing is, of all the cases I’ve investigated, they have had very mild symptoms,� she said. “We think that had a lot to do with them having some protection from the vaccine.� She said there have been no hospitalizations due to the outbreak so far. The University requires all incoming students to submit a copy of their immunization history. A mumps vaccination is one of the required immunizations. Although students are required to be vaccinated only once, two shots are recommended. According to ThompsonBrown, one measles-mumpsrubella, vaccine offers about 75 percent protection against the viral illnesses, and two doses of the MMR vaccine offer around 85 percent
protection. vide free vaccinations to “Vaccination does a huge students and faculty at the amount, but it’s not perfect. Activities and Recreation Mumps used to be a dis- Center on Aug. 6 and 7.

“We generally have a few cases of mumps almost every year ‌ Having this number of cases is more than we have seen in a decade.â€?
Champaign-Urbana Public Health District has focused on providing information about mumps to the community in order to prevent a bigger outbreak. “That way, if people have clinical symptoms of mumps, they need to isolate themselves, and they need to go get tested,� Thompson-Brown said. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, mumps is “contagious three days prior to and four days after the onset of symptoms.� It is spread by those infected through their coughs, sneezes, saliva and mucus. The viral illness causes those infected to experience a swelling of their cheeks and jaws. Palinkas said that when a student is diagnosed with mumps at the University, professionals at McKinley “work with the individual and create a plan that keeps them out of circulation during their period when they are contagious.� He said they focus on the
people with whom the infected student might have come in contact during the early phase of the student’s illness and make sure that “those people are aware that they may have been exposed to mumps.â€? Depending on the circumstances, Palinkas said they might send informational emails to a residence hall if someone living there has been diagnosed with mumps. He said that for roommates of those infected, they often speak with them in person. With the start of the fall semester, it is unclear what will happen with the outbreak as students start arriving on campus. “That is the big unknown question for fall,â€? Palinkas said. “We really have no way of knowing whether ‌ we will continue to see a couple of cases a week or whether it will trail off or whether it will be a bigger problem when there are more students on campus.â€?

That’s a wrap: That’s Rentertainment closes after 30 years BY BEN LASH STAFF WRITER

Geoff Merritt, owner of That’s Rentertainment, talks with customers on the store’s last day, Aug. 16.
After 30 years of business, locally-owned video rental store That’s Rentertainment closed its doors on Aug. 16. The store opened in June 1985 in the back of Johnstowne Center on campus as a video and record rental store. It specialized in independent films and was located at 516 E. John St. when it closed. “It’s been pretty awesome,� said Geoff Merritt, owner of That’s Rentertainment. “I like movies, I like campus and I love Urbana-Champaign. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a lot of fun.� A graduate of the University with a degree in psychol-
ogy, Merritt founded That’s Rentertainment and made it a cultural landmark for the town and University. “I grew up here,� Merritt said. “My interest in film came from all of my early exposure to cool films from my folks and people on campus.� That’s Rentertainment had a video collection of over 40,000 copies. It grew through decades of requests from customers and curriculum from film professors at the University. However, with many big-name providers moving toward online streaming, video rental stores are struggling to keep up with the times. “The cards are kind of stacked against video stores right now, and the cost of rent-

There’s one that went the co-op route.� Former That’s Rentertainment employee James Underhill said the store offered something unique to the community. “I’ve been coming here since I was probably in middle school to get videos that were harder to find,� Underhill said. “In ChampaignUrbana, we’re definitely not going to see anything like this again.� Emily Otnes, junior in LAS and former employee at That’s Rentertainment, said she’ll also miss the variety That’s Rentertainment provided.

“It’s a really neat place and has a huge selection,� Otnes said before the store’s closing. “It’s really important that local businesses stay alive.� Merritt said the community should support local business they love. “I feel really bad,� Merritt said. “What I would hope people would do is look around at the businesses that they like and just go there one more time a week, or even one more time a month.

Retired landscape architect sees sculpture’s return to Lincoln Hall

BY MARIAH SCHAEFER STAFF WRITER
This article was originally published on June 1. After five years of waiting, Donald J. Molnar was able to see his sculpture return to the south courtyard of Lincoln Hall. “To have it back, you can’t imagine how good I feel about that,” Molnar said. “When I found out it was going to be uprooted from here, and they were going to change this whole court, I thought, ‘Man, that will never come back.’” In 1968, the University of Illinois’ classes of 1918 and 1919 requested Molnar, who was a campus landscape architect at the time, to build a memorial commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War I. The sculpture, titled “Peace Memorial,” was brought back into the south courtyard of Lincoln Hall on Friday. According to Melvyn Skvarla, campus historic preservation officer in charge of the relocation project, returning the
sculpture cost $37,000. The Office of the Chancellor funded the relocation efforts with its fund of discretionary spending. The sculpture was removed from the south courtyard in 2010 when renovations to Lincoln Hall began. According to Skvarla, the fountain was cut off from the bottom of the sculpture because it created a pool of stagnant water. “Peace Memorial” was put into storage at the Printing Services Building. Donna Huls, administrative aide in the LAS dean’s office, said there was a lot of opposition to the return of the sculpture because many viewed it as a glorification of war. “We’re excited to have it back home. It’s going to be in the same courtyard but in a better spot where everybody, when we go out to sit, will be aware of it,” Huls said. “That bronze plaque (next to the sculpture) will give you more information if you just were to happen upon it, and you wouldn’t understand why the bayonets, the helmets — it doesn’t represent war.”

to help people worry about this.” Embedded into the sculpture are helmets from World War I and World War II along with bayonets, rifles, swords and plow pieces. According to Skvarla, the rifles in the sculpture are from ROTC cadets in 1968. A crane was positioned on the parking lot between Lincoln Hall and Gregory Hall to lift the sculpture, which weighs over two tons, over the roof of Lincoln Hall and into the south courtyard. Once inside the courtyard, the sculpture had to be carefully mounted to an exterior wall. Holes were drilled on the bottom of the sculpture to secure it. When the sculpture was almost into place, the bottom detached and swung back. The situation was quickly reverted, and the sculpture was put back. Once it was secure, a bronze plaque was drilled into the wall next to the sculpture. The whole process lasted about four hours and was completed by Terry Dowd Inc. of Chicago and Custom Service Crane of Mahomet.
Terry Dowd, president of Terry Dowd Inc., said that his art moving company is always very sensitive to the work they install. Dowd said meeting Molnar gave him a sense of completion. “I always feel that artwork is really meant for the public,” Dowd said. “Instead of having it stored in a warehouse somewhere, to get it back into public view and for public appreciation gives me a great deal of satisfaction.” Molnar was not alone to see his sculpture return to the south courtyard of Lincoln Hall. His wife, Carol Molnar, and grandson, Jim Camacho, accompanied him. “My wife had been all the way through all the stuff I worried about and fretted about, the design and making all the details,” Molnar said. “We’d been in the court a lot then when we were younger, so it was a shame to see it gone, but I’m happy about how it’s come back. This is really nice. It’s totally different, but it’s very nice.”

Jump Simulation Center will uniquely benefit College of Medicine students Center to focus on preparing for technology-based medicine
BY MARIAH SCHAEFER STAFF WRITER
This article was originally published on July 20. When the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine opens its doors to students in approximately three years, a new technological facility will help prepare medical professionals for a future in a technologydriven field. The creation of the Jump Simulation Center, which was announced in late June, was made possible by a $10 million gift from University alumnus Bill DiSomma, who owns Jump Trading, a Chicagobased trading firm. DiSomma also helped create the Jump Trading Simulation and Education Center in Peoria, which has a partnership with the University of Illinois. “The DiSomma Foundation was instrumental in forming the big simulation center in Peoria, and so they gave us this new, big, generous grant to start our own simulation center for the new College of Medicine here,” said Kesh Kesavadas, director of the
Health Care Engineering Systems Center, who will co-direct the Urbana center with the Peoria center’s chief medical officer, John Vozenilek. The Peoria center focuses on research in simulation and education, while the Urbana center will focus on teaching medical students through simulation. The Jump Simulation Center will be located in the basement of Everitt Laboratory, and it will be completed by the time the first students of the College of Medicine arrive on campus in 2018. The center is now under architectural design. “When we learned that we are going to have a new engineering-based College of Medicine, we realized very early on that having a world-class simulation facility here will be very beneficial for our college, be very beneficial for the engineering-based education that we are going to give our future physicians and doctors,” Kesavadas said. He said the purpose of using simulation is to train medical professionals without having to use human

He said the fact that the center will be located in the engineering campus is very unique, noting that many engineering students in other universities do not have access to a simulation center because the simulation center is located in the heart of a medical campus. “We can see that engineering students can also contribute to building the next level of simulators, can contribute in terms of working with medical students to come up with new ideas,” Kesavadas said. “We think that all this collaboration fosters much better simulator environments of the future.” With such an emphasis on technology, the human side of medicine suffers the risk of being put aside. However, Bashir assures that that will not be the case with the College of Medicine. He said that the curriculum will have many thematic areas, and doctor-patient interaction will be one of them. “The idea is to make available the latest and greatest technologies to the physicians but still not lose on the patient-doctor inter-
actions,” Bashir said. “Our goal is to use this technology to enhance the quality of the experience, not diminish it. “At the end of the day, I think our broad goal that we want to accomplish is to provide quality health care to more people at lower costs,” he said. Bashir said that those trained at the center will not be controlled by technology. He said the physicians will still be the decision-makers, not the technology. He emphasized that the College of Medicine is a partnership between Carle and the University of Illinois. He said Carle has a partnership with Parkland College to help train health care professionals and support staff. Although the Peoria and Urbana centers have different purposes, they will coordinate. The Jump Simulation Center will train medical students and will be able to incorporate the research being done at the Jump Trading Simulation and Educational Center. “In a way, we have a very comprehensive set of partnerships that all have their unique pieces, and they come together very well,” Bashir said.

WISE Karen Hasara, voted, they considered the perspectives of other board members, Killeen and Gov. Bruce Rauner, whose administration publicly stated its disapproval of awarding Wise a bonus. The reassignment voided Wise’s conditional — and widely debated — $400,000 bonus. In Wise’s original contract, she would receive a $500,000 bonus after five years as chancellor. If she left the position prior to reaching the five-year mark she would be eligible for a prorated version of the bonus, per Board approval. In the future, Killeen said he would like to do away with retention bonuses all together. “For me, and for all of us, I think that the best retention incentive is the privilege of being able to work at the University of Illinois,” he said. Killeen said he hoped the University could handle Wise’s exit “in the spirit in which the original contract was conferred;” however, he respected the Board’s decison, which he said was made after much deliberation. Wise, however, was not pleased with the Board’s decision and resubmitted her resignation on Aug. 13;

CENSURE of academic freedom and encourage universities to change course. “If we do not censure the administration, not only will nothing change, it will get worse and worse and worse,” said Harriet Murav, University Slovic language and literature professor. Peter Kirstein, St. Xavier University history professor, said a vote to censure would “finally send a message throughout the United States that it is okay to be controversial.” Former chancellor Phyllis Wise, President Emeritus Robert Easter and the Board of Trustees came under fire in August 2014 after Steven Salaita was dismissed from his tenure position in the American Indian Studies department weeks before he was

she announced the decision in an email to the media. “This action was unprecedented, unwarranted, and completely contrary to the spirit of our negotiations last week,” Wise wrote of the committee’s decision. “I have no intention, however, of engaging the Board in a public debate that would ultimately harm the University and the many people who have devoted time and hard work to its critical mission. Accordingly, I have again tendered my resignation as Chancellor and will decline the administrative position as advisor to the President.” Wise said she “aceeded” to the Board and Killeen’s requests for her to resign. However, Killeen said she was not directly asked to step down. The resignation came just a day before the University released more than 1,100 pages of emails previously withheld from various Freedom of Information Act requests. The emails were primarily sent from personal accounts between Wise, Campus Spokesperson Robin Kaler, University professors and external consultants. The emails regarded Steven Salaita, James Kilgore and the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine. Although the emails lawfully should have been included in FOIA requests, Nick Burbules,
professor in educational policy and SEC member, said it is a misconception that University business cannot be conducted through personal email. “There is no state law or University rule against maintaining a personal email account and using it to communicate with people,” Burbules said. The Board chose to

On Aug. 29, 2014, days after Salaita was dismissed, Rudy Fichtenbaum and Hank Reichman, AAUP president and co-president, respectively, released a letter stating that although many facts about the case were still missing, it appeared as if Salaita’s rights were violated. On April 23, the AAUP’s Committee A released a report of the findings from its investigation into the case and declared Salaita’s rights were in fact violated. At the time, Fichtenbaum said he believed censure. Nearly a month later, on May 28, the committee voted to recommend censure

“Censure is the highest condemnation of the actions of an administration.”
The law firm of Pugh, Jones and Johnson has determined that the allegations of several former women’s basketball players are not supported by evidence, Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced Monday. The law firm examined a lot of evidence — according to Wise’s statement they examined 18,000 documents, conducted 33 interviews, collected the statements of eight former players and reviewed game and practice footage. “The report does recommend actions for clarifying expectations regarding coaches’ conduct, better defining the coach-parent relationship and enhancing resources for student-athletes to report concerns or complaints about their experience at Illinois,” Wise said. “We will begin implementaddressed. Thus far, the academic senate has reviewed or revised nine policies and determined what further actions need to be taken. David O’Brien, chair of the University’s Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, said he believes censure was inevitable because “the University did not adhere to the policies of the AAUP regarding academic freedom and shared governance.” Burbules said the Committee A members who visited the University in February made it “quite clear” they had already decided to censure the administration. “Frankly, their lack of objectivity and other aspects of their review process troubled me,” he said. “But they’ve made their decision and it is what it is.” The University was last censured in 1964 for the

ing these recommendations immediately.” The recommendations included suggestions for the women’s basketball program that could also be applied elsewhere. “We have a number of recommendations as it applies to all 21 sports,” said Athletic Director Mike Thomas. “There is a number of things that are applicable to all of our programs. We would look at what of those would make sense.” Wise added that the first priority of the athletic department — internally and externally — is the health and well-being of student-athletes. Allegations levied by former women’s basketball players and their families were made public in May by The Daily Illini. Shortly after the allegations were made public, the University hired Pugh, Jones and Johnson to complete and independent investigation of head coach Matt Bollant and his former assistant coach Mike Divilbiss. Those allegations were the basis for a lawsuit filed at the beginning of July. That lawsuit is ongoing. Bollant has remained the team’s head coach since the former players made their allegations — Divilbiss left the program in May. The Illini start their season in November. dismissal of Professor Leo Koch. Koch, a biology professor, wrote a letter — which was published in The Daily Illini — defending premarital sex. In the midst of outrage from community members, President David Dobbs Henry fired Koch. Koch was never reinstated, despite the University’s removal from the censure list. Hilton was also chapter president during the Koch case. Having experienced it once before, Hilton said censure is ultimately a matter of perspective. “There are some people that may not pay any attention to it, while others, particularly off campus, may want to not be hired here or may not come here for seminars,” he said. “It depends on their view, how they take it.”

Barbara Wilson to balance life as LAS dean, new Urbana chancellor After Wise’s resignation, search for chancellor had to be rapid BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Barbara Wilson never expected she would be appointed the acting chancellor of the Urbana campus — it was never even one of her goals. “I just finished my first year as the Dean of LAS,� she laughed. “I was imagining I would be continuing that role for the foreseeable future, and I was excited about that.� Wilson was selected by President Timothy Killeen to serve as the Urbana campus’ acting chancellor, after Phyllis Wise suddenly resigned on Aug. 6. “President Killeen has told me he believes I have a lot of experience as a leader on this campus,� Wilson said. “As the representative of the largest college on campus, I have a good and deep understanding of faculty, student and staff issues on campus.� While Killeen admitted the process for finding an acting chancellor had to be done rather quickly, University spokesman Tom Hardy said he is confident it was done thoroughly. “President Killeen has spoken with numerous people involved in the University: stakeholders, faculty members, members of the shared governance process, people from the community, alumni and donors,� Hardy said. “He really covered the waterfront in terms of seeking consulta-

Unprofessionalism and fumbles in Wise’s resignation
T
he University has been in the headlines a lot these past few weeks — and not for good reasons. Former Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced her resignation, which was followed by a release of personal emails that skirted Freedom of Information Act requests. In emails, Wise called the University a “messed up� place — and frankly, we can’t help but agree. Be it in the form of worldwide criticism following the rejected appointment of Steven Salaita or letting adjunct faculty member James Kilgore, a felon, go, the past years have been controversial and have plagued her tenure as chancellor. Her exit follows in the same fashion, and the withheld personal emails are simply the cherry on top. But Wise is not the sole problem to these issues; it is an entire administration. Wise remains to be the mosttalked about user of skirting FOIA requests, but there were more from the University who were not named. The Board of Trustee’s attempt to strong arm her by initiating formal dismissal proceedings was unprofessional based off agreements previously made. While students might not have appreciated Wise and the decisions she seemed to have made, Wise’s position as a scapegoat for the Board should be taken into consideration when discussing the events of the past year, as much of the hate directed towards her is without accurate foundation. Many of the controversial events surrounding Wise were not solely her decision. For example, in personal emails, it was revealed Wise did not immediately wish to reject Salaita’s appointment, but instead wished to sit down and express her dissatisfaction with his tweets. She later wrote on Dec. 14, “What angers me about this report is that they believe that I made the decision and that BOT followed my recommendation. That is just plain not true.� While nobody can be completely sure of how the decision to reject Salaita’s appointment was reached, this statement makes it clear there are pieces missing from the narrative, framed in a way that paints Wise as a scapegoat for an entire administration’s misdeeds. This can likely be said of the many other controversies she was faced with, as well. Wise, who became chancellor after the University’s admissions scandal, was brought in to bring stability. Her exit leaves us questioning who will take charge of the Urbana campus, as it faces an investigation into the athletics program, impending budget cuts and Salaita’s own impending lawsuit against the University. Arguably, no administrator deserves a $400,000 bonus, especially during a time of such financial distress. But that’s what the board agreed to in her 2011 contract. The board could have denied the bonus and moved on, but rather chose to engage in what would be a long, expensive and highly publicized process. By dropping the dismissal proceedings, the board saved the University from future tarnishes to its name. While Wise’s FOIA skirt was wrong, not all she’s done for Urbana is shameful. She was able to bring stability to the campus in 2011 and helped create a biomedical engineering College of Medicine. With a new University president, we have an opportunity to start fresh and revitalize the University’s reputation. We look forward to what Barbara Wilson, acting chancellor, can accomplish during the time in her role. As a leading institution, we can’t have a nine-month down period. We hope the search for a new chancellor is transparent. We need to see a time when resignations and scandals do not continuously plague this campus. Leadership will never be strong when administrators continue to come and go.

Tinder: Sparking a dating revolution MATT SILICH Opinions columnist
C
urrent and incoming college students have likely heard ad nauseam that our generation, the “millennial� generation, is tragically failing the expectations of the Baby Boomers at every turn, wreaking havoc upon socioeconomic norms and generally tearing at the fabric of society. The latest millennial behavioral trend that brings shame to our elders is the younger generations’ frequent use of online and mobile dating applications, with the most prominent being Tinder. Tinder, for those still unfamiliar with the app, allows users to swipe their screen after viewing a brief profile of other local Tinder users in their area. Swipe one way, and the potential date’s profile disappears forever. Swipe the other way, and Tinder will alert the other user of one’s interest and allow the two to message each other. The catch is that a user is only alerted after both parties have approved of each other’s profiles. There is no notification for rejection on Tinder. And after swiping one profile, the app immediately provides another candidate for judgment. In the upcoming September 2015 edition of Vanity Fair, author Nancy Jo Sales pens an article entitled, “Tinder and the Dawn of the ‘Dating Apocalypse.’� The story contains interviews
and anecdotes from Tinder users in the most populous boroughs of New York City, plus some from the University of Delaware and a smaller university in Indiana. The Vanity Fair piece paints a picture of a bunch of millennials sitting at bars, refusing to engage in any face-to-face interaction, focusing solely on their phones as they furiously swipe right and try to find a match as quickly as possible. Walking into a campus bar on nearly any night will surely result in a vision of multiple people on their phones, some of them using Tinder. But the insinuation by the Baby Boomer generation and this article that millennials are almost exclusively using Tinder for dating interactions, and are therefore creating a culture of hitting it and quitting it, is just wrong. Just because some of those who live and socialize on college campuses are interested in hooking up with as many people as possible doesn’t mean that millennials are creating a hook-up culture, and it certainly doesn’t mean that the future of marriage is doomed. To presume that earlier generations did dating the correct way, because they focused more on individu-
al interactions than today’s millennials, is not just an intolerant view of social progress: t may be factually incorrect. A study done by San Diego State University Psychology Professor Jean Twenge found that millennials are projected to have eight sexual partners during adulthood, while the Baby Boomers and Generation X have averaged 11 and 10 sexual partners, respectively. The Vanity Fair article acknowledges this study, which shows that millennials are perhaps more conservative sexually than earlier generations, but casually dismisses it because it relies on a projection model and therefore hasn’t yet been proven true. Yet the only evidence Vanity Fair provides for the dating apocalypse is taken primarily from the largest metropolitan area in the United States, which is likely going to be filled with young socialites hoping to meet as many people as possible and shouldn’t apply to the rest of our generation, necessarily. Stories from Manhattan and a sorority house at the University of Delaware do little to provide evidence of a cultural phenomenon. There are millions of millennials across the entire country who do not use Tinder with

the same frequency or in the same way as some of the interviewees. And even if we accept the premise that millennials are less fond of commitment and more likely to have one night stands with their fellow world-wreckers, that shouldn’t be construed as a negative cultural shift. Twenge’s study also found that 62 percent of millennials take no issue with premarital sex and 56 percent take no issue with same sex relationships. Instead of creating a hook-up culture where people don’t value each other’s feelings, there’s evidence that millennials are actually creating a culture where people are more accepting than ever of other people’s sexual habits. Millennials are using today’s technology to meet more potential dates than ever before and there’s real statistical evidence it hasn’t resulted in more sexual activity on an individual level. Like with any other technological advancement, millennials could benefit from learning how best to use Tinder and online dating while still maintaining the level of respect one might have during a more formal affair, such as a blind date. Instead of trying to make millennials feel bad for meeting lots of people and pursuing sex with some of them, perhaps the Baby Boomers could learn about the new relationships that millennials are building and become a bit more tolerant of views that conflict with their own.

Support for Trump shows sexism ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist
L
ast week, I was having dinner with a close friend, and I asked him for his definition of a feminist. He responded, “a complainer.� He went on to clarify that he believes that men and women have equal opportunities today in America. That’s true, at least legally. It might seem to some that since Hillary Clinton is favored to win the Democratic Presidential Nomination, sexism is not an issue in the United States. A large portion of Americans even believe sexism is no longer a contemporary issue. Debate.org performed a poll and reported that almost a fifth of respondents believe that gender bias does not exist in the United States. While Clinton’s popularity in the polls and her commitment to gender equality may be indicative of a critical step towards a post-sexist America, it’s imperative to remember that Donald Trump is also running, and he’s doing quite well. He is leading by as much as 13 points in recent polls for the 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination. It would therefore be safe to assert that Trump’s ideologies are embraced to some extent or at the very least, tolerated by many
Americans. When we elect a person as President of the United States, we also put their ideas, biases and opinions in office. Those opinions affect the future legislation and culture of this country. Therefore, disjunct from either support or opposition to Trump’s political platforms, his substantial following serves as damning evidence of sexism’s existence in the United States. On August 6, Fox TV Host Megyn Kelly asked Trump to account for his numerous derogatory comments toward women in the Republican debate. As marked by Kelly, Trump has made several remarks disapproving of women’s body weights. On his reality show, The Apprentice, he said one of his female participants would look “pretty on her knees.â€? Further, Trump admitted to calling a woman publicly breastfeeding disgusting. Later on, Trump commented that Kelly, “had blood coming out of her eyes; blood coming out of her‌wherever,â€? when she questioned him during the debate. Undoubtedly, that comment is malapropos; further, it’s sexist. To imply that a
woman’s menstrual cycle likely impaired her ability to debate reasonably is to also imply that a woman’s biological make-up is an intellectual disadvantage and that women are intellectually less-than. That is clear-cut gender prejudice. Yet, his candidacy remains hugely popular, even with the nearly axiomatic consensus that his comments are frequently sexist, as well as with Clinton’s accusation that Trump is a participant in the war on American women. It therefore appears that many citizens are untroubled by the possibility of electing a candidate who, by public perception at least, appears to be somewhat sexist or someone at the very, very least who has no qualms about being perceived as sexist. Similarly, many citizens apparently believe that sexism no longer is an issue in this country. Yet, the numbers are incontrovertible. Women are still paid 77 cents on the dollar. Women face much more sexual assault and harassment, often in either domestic or professional settings. There is also an enormous gender
However, I think Donald Trump’s success with America opens up another troubling notion: Sexism may be popular.
achievement gap in a variety of professional fields, academic test scoring, and school performance, particularly in STEM fields. So many little girls are taught, as they grow up, to take care of their appearance, to love the color pink and eventually go into nurturing professions such as teaching or nursing. I find it almost impossible to consider that societal mindset is not factoring into the immense gender gap — and these ideas are perpetuated by comments such as Trump’s. So certainly, I believe that sexism is present in American society. However, I think Donald Trump’s success with America opens up another troubling notion: Sexism may be popular. If you happen to love and embrace Trump’s political platforms — although it does seem as though his position is almost exclusively immigration reform — that’s absolutely your prerogative. I simply find it concerning that so many Americans, men and women alike, feel comfortable electing a candidate who makes sexist comments and refuses to apologize for them to the highest political office in the United States. Even more than I find it concerning, I find it to be conclusive evidence that gender prejudice indeed exists in America today. In fact, it’s doing quite well in the polls.

Campus police say arming officers is “necessary evil” to protect community Officials weigh pros and cons of armed officers at colleges
BY FATIMA FARHA ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
When University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing was charged with murder for the death of 43-year-old Samuel Dubose in late July, the public began to question whether campus police should be armed. Tensing, who has been dismissed from his position as police officer, shot Dubose while he was driving near a traffic stop over a dispute about his license plate. According to the video taken by Tensing’s body camera, Dubose was unarmed and did not engage in any aggressive behavior. According to a statement by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, IACP, Joe Deters, Hamilton County Prosecutor, said during a press conference regarding Dubose that university police officers should not be armed and should not be in the “policing business,” but rather let city police officers handle necessary situations. However, the IACP stated it “strongly disagrees with these ill-informed comments” because campus police officers are trained for the sole purpose of protecting their campus community. Jeffrey Christensen, chief of police at the University of Illinois Police Department, said he agrees
with the IACP; the University police department has 65 sworn-in, armed officers who are equipped with pepper spray, tasers, batons and for deadly situations, fi rearms. “It’s a necessity with the job,” Christensen said. “If we’re charged to protect the community, the reality is that in doing that duty, many times there is the potential for individuals to have weapons.” Because there is always the chance individuals on campus may be carrying weapons, he said, it is the responsibility of trained and certifi ed officials to make sure these individuals do not pose a threat to the students, faculty and staff at the University. Christensen said he understands why there would be misgivings about the idea of campus police carrying weapons, considering there are so many students in the area. However, he said this is exactly why it is necessary for campus police to be armed. “Our officers’ job — their passion — is to protect our students and they serve beyond the students, they serve the Champaign-Urbana community,” he said. This “necessary evil,” as Christensen calls it, is a part of the operating system in a large number of university police departments in the coun-
try. According to the latest report concerning campus law enforcement by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, from 2011 to 2012, 75 percent of four-year public institutions used armed officers. The 2011 to 2012 report also stated 95 percent of four-year public institutions with 2,500 or more students were equipped with a campus police department. In addition to armed officers, 96 percent of university police officers are allowed to use some sort of non lethal weapon, such as chemical or pepper spray. These police officers, the report states, have a huge responsibility in just maintaining security for the universities. Patrick Connolly, chief of the Urbana Police Department, said he believes the fi rst priority for police officers anywhere is safety, and University police officers are trained with special skills to ensure the security and protection of students. “I can tell you the University of Illinois Police Department is an incredibly professionally, well trained organization,” Connolly said. “I think the current environment, with respect to the active shooter events, is something that would have to be considered if they ever decided to say that the University police weren’t able to be armed because those officers would be the fi rst responders to address that issue.” He also said the Urbana police department heav-
ily relies on the University police department for duties such as patrolling the west side of the city and being available when the Urbana police officers are unable to handle certain situations. Due to their important collaboration, Connolly said, it becomes necessary for the University to carry weapons. Even though being armed can be dangerous, it all comes down to having proper training, said Urbana City Council Alderman Charlie Smyth, Ward 1. Smyth is a former employee and graduate student of the University, and both of his sons also graduated from the University. As a parent, Smyth said he fi nds the University to be a safe environment, and he knows the police officers coordinate and work with the Urbana and Champaign police departments to guarantee that security. Smyth said he doesn’t need anything more than properly trained police officers. “They are a police department just like any other police department. So what it means is, it comes down to proper training,” Smyth said. “Proper training on the use of your weapons, proper training on handling the crisis intervention aspect of policing, the daily interactions, the training the police have for just interacting with people, I think those are all things that are very important.” Christensen said campus

The benefits and disadvantages of having armed police at colleges Between 2011-2012, data was collected on 4-year institutions with 2500 or more students regarding their use of armed police on campus. About 75 percent of the campuses were using armed officers...
compared to 68 percent during the 2004-2005 school year.
Most sworn campus police officers were authorized to use a sidearm (94 percent), chemical or pepper spray (94 percent), and a baton (93 percent). Most sworn campus police officers had arrest (86 percent) and patrol (81 percent) jurisdictions that extended beyond campus boundaries
Sworn personnel: 9 in 10 campuses had armed officers
Nonsworn officers:1 in 10 campuses had armed officers
For public campuses with 15,000 or more students (173 campuses in the study) 94/96 sworn officers were armed KELSIE TRAVERS DAILY ILLINI

police carrying weapons is a sad but necessary reality. He said when he fi rst started working in the 1980s, it was less likely to that citizens would carry a weapon with deadly intentions, but today it happens more frequently.
“It’s a necessary evil because of societal issues,” Christensen said. “And because of where we are and where we’ve been that police officers in this country have to be armed.”

Dorm Wassaja Hall set to open fall 2016 Hall honors University’s first Native American graduate BY MICHELLE REDONDO STAFF WRITER
In the Yavapai language, Wassaja means “beckoning.” Soon, it will also mean home for a number of University students. The new Wassaja Hall will be located in the “six pack” and ready to house students in Fall 2016. Named after the University’s fi rst Native American graduate, Carlos Montezuma, Wassaja Hall will have an innovative set up. Alma Sealine, director of the Housing Division, said the new hall will have a pod-like construction to make it a more privatized living space. “In a wing, there will be four pods and each of those
pods will have bathrooms directly available to those rooms,” Sealine said. “This is a trend that we are moving toward to provide more bathroom space for our students in the future.” The University Housing website says the hall will have 504 beds and will seek a minimum of LEED Gold Certification. Jamie Singson, director of the Native American House, said in an email interview, Montezuma graduated from the University in 1884, and he consistently fought for Native American rights and his Yavapai tribe. “The creation of Wassaja Hall has the potential to be a resource to the campus
in education to contemporary issues and histories of American Indians,” Singson said. “(It’s exciting) that the new hall is celebrating an alumni whose life’s significance has been largely unknown to this institution.” Similar to Singson, Renee Romano, vice chancellor of student affairs, said she fi nds the historical signifi cance and his personal story the most important factor of the new hall. “Everyone who lives in that hall will know about our fi rst American Indian student, and they will be educated about him and his experiences,” Romano said. “We fi nd this to be a good opportunity to teach students about American Indian history at that time.”

Free Urbana festival celebrates 40 years of sweetcorn, community Locals recall traditions in food, fun on anniversary
BY ALI BRABOY ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The Urbana Sweetcorn Festival, Champaign County’s largest free festival, averages around 50,000 attendees a year, but the sponsors are hoping for more at this year’s 40th anniversary. Jessica Snyder, interim executive director of the Urbana Business Association, said the association has been coordinating the festival since 2004, before which Busey Bank hosted it as an event to show appreciation for their customers. Snyder said what makes the Urbana festival different from others is that it appeals to a large range of people. The festival, happening Aug. 28 and 29, will include live music, a variety of food and drink, a vintage car show and vendors to learn and shop from. “We really have something for everyone, and that broad appeal is what has established

Champaign organizes recycling event Multi-family program focuses on cardboard
BY FATIMA FARHA ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The city of Champaign’s Neighborhood Services, teamed with the Champaign Public Works Department, is holding its “Feed The Thing” program during move-in for University students to ensure cleanliness and environmentally-friendly practices as students unpack their belongings. Nichole Millage, member of Public Works, said “Feed The Thing” is a multi-family recycling program for any building with five units or
more, such as Greek houses, group houses, apartments and residence halls. She said the program gives the residents of these units an opportunity to recycle items such as cardboard, furniture and clothes. “So what we’re trying to accomplish through these efforts is number one, reduce the amount of overflowing dumpsters, and at the same time, recapturing those items that can either be reused or recycled,” said David Oliver, code compliance manager.
The first event held by the “Feed The Thing” program took place Aug. 7-8 to collect recyclable items, such as furniture pieces, to donate to Habitat for Humanity’s Champaign chapter. Jessica Miller, Public Works intern and senior in ACES, said the event produced useful results but was not as successful as previous years. For the second event, during the week of Aug. 14 to Aug. 24, Miller said “Feed The Thing” put out large dumpsters for their cardboard recycling event to collect cardboard as students moved into campus. This event focuses on getting the cardboard out of regular trash bins and into
dumpsters for them to be recycled and reused. While there were blue “Feed The Thing” carts available to people to dispose of their cardboard and other waste such as glass, plastic and plastic bags, Miller said regular, green dumpsters were put out specifically for cardboard since it takes up a lot more space. “We do want to divert this cardboard, this good, recyclable cardboard from going into regular landfills, and also once it gets into regular garbage cans, it could become foiled with food debris, and then it’s no good,” Miller said. “So we definitely want to try and keep it out of the trash can and have a spot for it where
it can be properly disposed of and recycled.” Since “Feed The Thing” was started, Miller said it has diverted around 7 million pounds of waste. The sole purpose, she said, is to divert cardboard, being such a large source of solid waste, from the waste streams and deposit it somewhere it will be useful. Along with the “Feed The Thing” program, Oliver said, the Neighborhood Code Compliance services also performed maintenance inspections from Aug. 17 to Aug. 24, where they checked for overflowing dumpsters around apartments. He said the inspectors notified property owners or the property management
responsible for the apartment if their dumpsters were overflowing with a 24-hour notice to clean up around the dumpster. If there was no compliance, the city sent services to clean up the dumpsters for them, but the apartment complex would have to cover the costs. “A clean city, a clean campus is certainly the image that we want to project to anyone who is visiting Champaign-Urbana, and everyone has a responsibility for their personal behaviors,” Oliver said. “I think we all have the same goal: We all want a clean environment.”

LIST PUTS ILLINOIS ON TOP
BY BELLA JACKSON STAFF WRITER
On Aug. 3, the Princeton Review published its annual list of the 380 top colleges in the United States, based on data from students surveyed in the last year. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ranked number one in the list of Top Party Schools. David Soto is the senior editor of the Princeton Review’s 380 Best Colleges, the book sold each fall containing detailed profiles of each college and 62 lists of topics such as “Great Financial Aid” or “Best Career Services.” He said that although the Princeton Review’s press release lists the average number of students surveyed per college at only 358, at large universities such as Illinois, it is not uncommon for thousands of students to complete the survey. Additionally, Soto said every campus on the list is visited at least every three years by Princeton Review employees to conduct official surveys to keep information accurate and up to date. Students are also able to complete the survey online at any point in the school year, although each student is only allowed to
submit the survey once per year. To determine the list of the top party schools, analysts looked at data on students’ opinions of the amount of beer, alcohol and drugs on campus, the importance of the Greek system to the school and the estimated time students spent studying. Soto said that the ranking of Number One Party School does not insinuate that the University is not academically strong, too. “(The book) is such a small subset of the colleges in the United States,” Soto said. “You have to be academically rigorous to even be on the list.” According to the National Center for Education Statistics’ most recent count in 2011-2012, there are 2,968 four-year colleges in the United States, making the Princeton Review’s list contain only the top 15 percent of colleges. On this year’s full profile of the University, students praised the great career services, library system and advisors for how they help students outside of the classroom. The University is also ranked on the Princeton Review’s list of best career services in the nation. Gail Rooney, Director of the Career Center on campus, said that regardless of the Princeton Review’s ranking, the University’s career services are recognized around the country. The Career Center offers workshops on creating resumes, practice in interview situations and I-Link, the job board accessible to University students. In the 2013-14 school
year, 5,123 unique employers recruited University students at 6,145 engagements. These companies included major Fortune 100 companies such as Apple, General Motors, ExxonMobil and Wal-Mart Stores. “If this number of employers want to come to Illinois, they must be finding good candidates,” Rooney said. To the questions about professors, students responded that they were “not just good at research, but also instructing and mentoring.” The data showed that some class sizes were very large, but students said that the professors knew how to teach to a large lecture hall and were very approachable outside of class time. Soto said that the “Top Party School” list highlights the campus atmosphere without discrediting the academic achievements. “There is a robust social life at Illinois,” he said. “Incoming students who do want that social life can get it at a place where the academics are equally represented.” Soto said the Princeton Review estimates that around 50 percent of all college-bound students

Daniel Amram, junior in Business, said that when he was looking at colleges, the strength of the business school and the affordability of in-state tuition were major factors that influenced his decision to come to Illinois, but he also wanted a campus community where he knew he could feel at home within organizations, even on a very large campus. Amram said that if he were looking at colleges now, the Princeton Review ranking would not negatively influence his perception of the school. “If anything, the ranking would have further encouraged me to attend Illinois because many academically motivated students, like myself, also
search for colleges emphasizing social aspects, knowing that we can do well balancing both,” he wrote in an email. Amram described the social life at Illinois as “diverse and abundant” because of the many RSOs on campus, based on shared interests ranging from rock climbing to Dance Dance Revolution, and the variety of students that attend the University. Amram is the social chair for Phi Gamma Nu, a business fraternity on campus, and is responsible for planning numerous social events for the other students in his organization. “Social life at Illinois isn’t just about drinking and parties, there’s a large social presence in the sober realm,” Amram wrote. He listed paintballing, bowling, ice-skating and miniature golf as

activities that his organization can enjoy, either on campus or in the Champaign-Urbana area. The Princeton Review doesn’t release the exact scores of schools within the Top Twenty lists, but Soto said that the universities on the list are generally close to each other’s scores. There is usually a significant drop off after the list ends. Illinois ranked as number five on the list in 2014, a drop from its number three spot in 2013. Soto also stressed that the “Top Party School” ranking is only one of the rankings the university received, and it should be viewed with some of the other lists the University placed on, including outstanding career services, high diversity and a sustainable campus.

New faces and their hopes for freshman year Despite different interests, goals and views, they all remain optimistic about the future. BY EMILY SCOTT STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: Four incoming freshmen share their hopes for their first year at the University. At the end of the spring semester, we will meet them again and see how the year went.
Sohan Sarkar Troy, Michigan Major: Economics with a minor in Computer Science DI: What made you choose your major, and what do you hope to get out of it? SS: I developed my passion for economics when I first took an economics class in the ninth grade. I knew shortly after that it was a subject that I loved profoundly ... My commitment to the subject, coupled with the support from my family, motivated me to choose economics as my major. By studying economics, I hope to be able to gain a better understanding of world issues while simultaneously thinking of economic solutions to these problems. An economics degree can help me get a job in a plethora of fields, including fi nance, which is my first choice. DI: What do you hope to get out of your college experience? SS: College, from what I’ve heard, can be really busy and terrifying but also really fun at the same time. I want to be able to maximize the fun. I am looking to immerse myself into the different RSOs that interest me on campus while also pushing myself academically ... Furthermore, I want to build relationships that will last a lifetime with friends as well as professors. I hope to make college the best time of my life, a time I will look back at and want to return to over and over again.
Jen Behrens Wauconda, Illinois Major: Psychology DI: What made you choose your major and what do you hope to get out of it? JB: I am a psychology major, but I plan to double major in psychology and chemical engineering, if that’s possible. It’s a unique combination. I’m a multi-interested person. Psychology really draws me because I’m a people person. I like to analyze behavior and figure people out. And chemical engineering, I like that major because I really like science, and I’m into being hands-on, making things and also making the world a better place … I would love to be engineering my own products, like laundry detergent or shampoo. My dream job would be engineering my own line of shampoo. And then I would market it myself. DI: What are you most excited about? JB: I’m excited to meet lots of new people, and I’m excited to know that the people I meet the first day, I might not see the next day. I might not ever see them again. I’ve never experienced something like that in my life. Coming from a small high school, I see those people every day. I’m interested to see how relationships and friendships will be formed.
DI: What are you most excited about? JL: I am most excited about the clubs that are available at UIUC. I have done some research myself and have found out that there is a sailing club, an airsoft club, an automobile club, as well as a hot tub club. I am excited about these clubs because they are either about activities that I have tried before or are centered around interesting subjects. I am looking forward to being a part of them and having lots of fun. Work hard, play hard! DI: What do you hope to get out of your college experience? JL: Academics aside, I hope that my university experience will help me meet more people who share the same interests and hobbies as me and help me construct lifelong friendships. I also hope that during my years at UIUC, I will be able to familiarize myself with different hobbies and activities and become a more well-rounded person. DI: What’s one thing you’re bringing with you to college that you definitely couldn’t live without? JL: My iPad is one thing I am bringing to the University that I believe I could not live without. My iPad contains many apps that I use frequently to communicate with my friends across the globe, to relax and have fun and to learn about what is going on around the world.
DI: What are your goals for your freshman year? JB: One of my main goals is to not worry about making mistakes too much. Everyone always gets worried about college and making mistakes. I don’t want to specifically worry about anything. I also want to learn. I want to prioritize my learning versus my grades. I think those are two different things. DI: What’s one thing you’re bringing with you to college that you definitely couldn’t live without? JB: My keepsakes: my Kairos notebook and photo albums of my family. So, spiritual things that are special to me and also just photos of my loved ones. I don’t think I could survive without having those reminders.
Abrielle Joseph Downers Grove, Illinois Major: Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences DI: What made you choose your major and what do you hope to get out of it? AJ: In a nutshell, I have always been interested in science. I wanted to try and incorporate that with law … I’m planning to try and go to law school or do something with the legal system. I kind of see my ideal career being an environmental lawyer ... I’ve always enjoyed learning about law and government, and I just want to fi nd a way to try and help the environment any way I can.
DI: What are you most anxious about? SS: To be honest, I am only anxious about one thing this year: my calculus class. DI: What’s one thing you’re bringing with you to college that you definitely couldn’t live without? SS: My confidence. As cheesy as it may sound, my confidence is what has gotten me this far, and I wouldn’t be half the man I am today had it not been for my confidence. Jerry Li Vancouver, British Columbia (originally from Shenzhen, China) Major: Actuarial Science DI: What made you choose your major and what do you hope to get out of it? JL: I chose my major because I am interested in assessing the risks associated with everything and would like to continue to assess risks in my future career. I hope that through my learnings at the University, I will be able to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental knowledge needed to succeed in the field of actuarial science and successfully transition into graduate school, where I will major in fi nance in order to pursue a future career as a fi nancial actuary.
DI: What are your goals for your freshman year? AJ: My one goal is to successfully audition for and make one of the on-campus a cappella choirs. DI: What do you hope to get out of your college experience? AJ: I defi nitely want a positive experience … A lot of people tell me that college is going to be the best four years of your life. And I definitely want to prove that right. DI: What’s one thing you’re bringing with you to college that you definitely couldn’t live without? AJ: Everybody would say their phone, so of course my phone, but especially the pictures that I have on my phone and that I have printed out, just of my friends and family and other experiences.

Great hidden study spots on and off campus Try new study spots to start the semester off right BY SUSAN SZUCH COPY CHIEF
Whether it’s writer’s block, the inability to grasp a concept for class or simply feeling like I’m in a rut, there’s nothing more beneficial for me than getting out of my dorm for a change in environment. Luckily, there are plenty of places on and off campus that provide whatever atmosphere I’m looking for — solitude and tranquility if I need to study, or if I’m meeting with a friend. In terms of studying, I tend to focus better without people around me. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t places on campus that are calm and quiet. You should exercise precaution — if you’re looking for somewhere very quiet to study, make sure you’re in a designated area, like the second floor of the undergraduate
library. Otherwise, on the main floor, people tend to get kind of noisy or even take phone calls while they’re there. Some of the places on campus that can be most conducive to studying are — surprise — the libraries. The ACES library on the South Quad not only has individual study carrels that provide solitude when needed, but tables beside windows that offer a beautiful view of the South Quad. Contrary to popular belief, the Undergraduate Library is not the only place undergrad students are allowed, so be sure to check out the serenity of the reading room in the Main Library. In addition to the libraries on campus, the Arboretum on Lincoln Avenue provides a space to enjoy the outdoors while studying. With more than 57 acres, the Arboretum offers a multitude of places to study, meet with friends or simply sit in contemplation. Shady trees and benches line the Romweber & Santogrossi Families Linden Allee, making it a perfect space to sit and read.

Left: Aroma Cafe located in downtown Champaign is an uncommon study spot amongst students. Right: The Miles C. Hartley garden at the Arboretum is the largest of 5 major gardens. Moving off campus, the surrounding Champaign and Urbana areas are full of coffee shops, bakeries and other places that allow students to study or pursue creative explorations. One of the places students can find caffeine and calmness is Aroma CafÊ on Neil Street in downtown Champaign. An open, cheery space with artwork lining the walls, it’s the perfect place to get break-
fast or lunch while studying or chatting with a friend. For those who are pickier about their caffeine, Flying Machine Coffee on Main Street in Urbana offers a selection of handcrafted coffee in a clean, minimalistic environment. Flying Machine Coffee resides in the same building as Pizza M, making it a perfect place to spend the day and not feel limited to scones or cinna-
mon rolls. However, students looking exclusively for sweets or baked goods can find solace at Mirabelle Fine Pastries in Urbana or Pekara Bakery and Bistro in Champaign. Both offer a selection of pastries as well as heartier lunch-type fare in a cozy environment. Another hidden gem is the Independent Media Center in Urbana. The center houses a library with a collection of
zines, noncommercial publications that focus on a specific, often obscure, topic. In addition to the library, a 3D printer can also be found in the center, as well as classes to take with friends. But no matter which of these hidden spots you choose, all of them will give you the tranquil environment you desire.

Champaign next station for Black Dog BY LILLIAN BARKLEY ASSISTANT COPY CHIEF
Black Dog Smoke and Ale House is buzzing in preparation for the full opening of the Champaign location at 320 N. Chestnut St. According to their website, it should be open at some point in late August, though a definite opening date has not been released. “I think it’s a good idea they’re opening a new location, considering they’re always busy,� said Lisa Pearson, who has been going to Black Dog since she moved to the area eight years ago. The Champaign location, set in an old railway building, will include a full dining room with space for larger parties. “I don’t know if it will water it down because part of the appeal is how packed it is,� said Karina Misberg about the new location lessening crowds. She noted the charm of hearing staff shout across the small dining room when they were out of a dish. Casey Baer, junior in LAS,

said adding seating was a smart move. “On the very short list of things that I was hoping they would improve, seating was one of them,� he said. Most of the menu items are available at the Champaign restaurant, as well as specialty items BBQ pork nachos, Cuban sandwiches and pork belly, according to Black Dog’s Facebook page. “I hope they keep the exact same menu,� Baer said. “I’m just excited to get some barbecue.� Pearson tried the new restaurant, which has been open for carry-out Thursday through Sunday since May, and said the food was just as good as the Urbana location and was just as fast. Photos of the new location’s progress are posted on Facebook, and customers can get a glimpse of the interior when they pick up their orders. The exposed brick walls and metal support beams add to the color scheme, which follows the warm orange and dark-wood

ELIMINATING THE “RED ZONE” The beginning of the semester comes with an increase in sexual assault and sexual violence MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER
The first weeks back on campus can be exciting. Students move into their new dorms and apartments, reunite with old friends, make tons of new ones and get adjusted to their new school schedules. However, the first six weeks back on campus are also known by another name: the Red Zone. The Red Zone is the period during the school year when there is an increased risk in sexual assault or violence. According to Molly McLay, assistant director of the Women’s Resource Center, the average age of a sexual assault survivor is 18 and a half, the typical age of a college freshman. McLay said the Red Zone can be caused by students adjusting to the new social environments in a college setting. “I also think, given the season, it’s warm weather the fi rst weeks back, so people are celebrating, which there might be more alcohol and drugs used,” she said. “Alcohol plays a role in 75 percent of sexual assaults on college campuses. But vulnerability doesn’t equal responsibility, and it is never the victim’s fault.” Both McLay and detective Robert Murphy of the University of Illinois Police Department stress the importance of students having knowledge of strategies for prevention and intervention. Murphy and McLay helped come up with a new bystander workshop at the Women’s Resource Center: I-Care. Students can go to the center and request to take it. Murphy specifically advocates that friends get into the habit of forming buddy systems and looking out for one another. Murphy explained that this should be a year-round concept, but at the beginning of the year, it can be hard to make sure that while you are out having fun; you also need to watch out for those around you. “You’re meeting brand new people. ... We all need to watch out for each other,” Murphy said. “I think students do a good job once they get to know everybody and go out together and come back together. In the beginning, they’re trying to figure it all out.” McLay elaborates more on good strategies and tactics an active bystander can employ if they see questionable behavior. “What we really focus on is being an active bystander, reacting in situations where there might be sexually disrespectful situations happening. All of us have a role to keep campus safe,” McLay said. “We can intervene through direct confrontation or distraction, like spilling drinks or getting other bystanders involved,” McLay said. Being an active bystander is possible for anyone on campus. “The bystander strategy is important because anyone can do that, whether they know the person or not,” he said. “This increases the community where we are holding people who are perpetrating sexual disrespect accountable.” While I-Care isn’t mandatory for students, FYCARE is a required workshop that all freshmen and transfer students must take. FYCARE classes are put on during the first seven weeks of classes, which falls directly during the Red Zone. Cameron Rosenthal, first-time FYCARE facilitator and junior in Engineering, agrees that students may feel
“uncool” if they intervene but that it is well worth the discomfort if it means preventing an assault. “It’s okay to intervene if you see something that you know isn’t right. It can be awkward, it can feel like you’re the only one at the party that is not being cool or anything, but you’re usually not the only one,” Rosenthal said. “It’s really that you can prevent something horrible that can happen to another person.” Rosenthal, whose high school best friend was sexually assaulted, thought he could put the skills and experiences he has to good use by becoming a facilitator. “The most important thing you need to be able to do is listen,” he said. “In FYCARE, the things you are taught you should say are, ‘I believe you,’ and ‘It’s not your fault.’” Rosenthal also explained how he and other facilitators have partnered with the Student Senate on their Red Zone Campaign. “Mitch Dickey (Illinois Senate President) brought together a few FYCARE facilitators and people behind the “It’s On Us” campaign and had us brainstorm things we could do as a group against the Red Zone,” Rosenthal said. “We discussed social media campaigns, bringing more attention to it during the (time period) on campus.” With the University’s recent crowning of “number one party school in the nation” by The Princeton Review, this might cause concern for students, staff and parents about the pressure that students may feel to keep up the reputation through risky means. However, neither McLay, Murphy or Rosenthal thought that this title would affect sexual assault. “Sexual assault can happen in any environment, often times happens in survivors’ own homes,” McLay said. “It’s important to think about situations in which there might be a risk but also to recognize to think about prevention all the time.” From a student’s perspective, Rosenthal did not think that this reputation would affect people’s judgments when it comes to doing the right thing. “I don’t think that because we party a lot it is going to have a negative effect. We should be able to have fun, and the fact that we are the best at having fun doesn’t mean that people can’t intervene on others’ behalf,” Rosenthal said. “If something bad is happening, it doesn’t mean that people can’t think straight in any ways they see fit.” Both Murphy and McLay said that sexual assault can happen at any time during the school year despite the increased risk during the Red Zone. But McLay, who coordinates FYCARE, believes that holding the program during the Red Zone is crucial. If students would like to become more well informed about sexual assault prevention and bystander intervention, they can go to the Women’s Resource Center, the Counseling Center at McKinley Health Center, the Student Resource Center through the Dean of Students Office or they can go log onto the website Wecare.Illinois. edu. When it comes to reporting an assault, students can go to the police station.

Guarding Lunt top priority for offense Experienced offensive line increases QB protection
BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
For the Illinois football team, the 2014 preseason was all about who would replace four-year starter Nathan Scheelhaase. Three quarterbacks were in contention: Wes Lunt won the job out of camp, got injured and spent time swapping the top spot with Reilly O’Toole. Aaron Bailey played sparingly. Flash forward to the 2015 offseason: O’Toole is now a graduate assistant coach and Bailey transferred, leaving Lunt the job. As the 2015 season looms, Lunt seems keyed in as the goto guy. The departure of the two other quarterbacks gives more room for Lunt to display his passing capabilities after he spent much of his 2014 season out with injury. But there is also more pressure on him to perform well and remain uninjured with non-experienced players backing him up. However, it’s a role that head coach Tim Beckman says Lunt is ready to fill. Over the summer, Lunt met with every one of the players on the team for a meeting. “He wasn’t asked to do it, he just did, whether it was a 10-minute, five minute meeting, Wes Lunt did it,” Beckman said. “That’s the type of young man you’re dealing with when you talk about Wes Lunt. Not just football, but being a leader.” Before his injury, Lunt started seven games last season and totaled 1,763 passing yards with 15 touchdowns. He averaged 210.4 yards per game in the eight games he played.
Illinois’ Wes Lunt looks downfield during the game against Texas State at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 20, 2014. Lunt finished with the conference’s fourth-best passer rating. Beckman stated that for now, Lunt will be the starter, but the Illini are open to including back-up quarterbacks in the offense depending upon camp performances. “You know me, Bill’s (Cubit) done it too, I’ve played two quarterbacks before,” Beckman said. “I think it’s preparation that is hard on defenses, so if
Chayce Crouch continues to improve or Jeff George Jr. or Jimmy Fitzgerald, then they’re going to play.” None of Lunt’s backups have taken a snap in college. The offensive line protecting Lunt is a bit more experienced than any of Lunt’s backups. Under second-year offensive line coordinator Tom Brattan and a healthy line, the team is hoping to improve its protection. Lunt, a pass-
heavy quarterback who doesn’t run often, will need his offensive line to reduce the number of sacks — 23 — it allowed in the 2014 season. With six juniors and seniors, the offensive line is hoping that its stability and experience will protect Lunt. For the 2015 postspring depth chart, eight of the twelve offensive lineman redshirted their freshman year. Only one did not and the other three players
are junior college transfers who enrolled early. The opportunity to redshirt is something Ted Karras said was key to his player development and he hopes is something that other freshmen can experience as well. But for now, he said, there is an increased pressure to make sure that the six-foot-five inch quarterback remains untouched. “We have young guys but young guys who are

unproven,” Karras said, referring to the backup quarterbacks. “We had Reilly O’Toole on the sideline waiting (last year). But now we don’t have a guy who has won Big Ten games before waiting if Wes Lunt goes down. And that’s priority number one for this o-line is keep Lunt healthy.”

Groce spends summer pursuing new recruits ALEX ROUX Illini columnist

elcome back. If the Illini’s total meltdown at the end of last season made you want to take the summer off from all things Illinois basketball, I don’t blame you. But the start of the 2015-2016 season is just three months away, so it’s time to get caught up on all things Illini hoops. The biggest summer stories generally come from the recruiting front in college basketball, but it’s been a relatively quiet summer for head coach John Groce in his pursuit of future talent. A few other things have occupied the headlines. Groce landed fifthyear transfer center Mike Thorne from Charlotte back in April and was wrapping up another July evaluation period when Tracy Abrams suffered his second season-ending injury in as many years. Abrams’ torn achilles further magnified Groce’s need for point guard depth on a roster that features little, so he snagged fifthyear transfer Khalid Lewis from La Salle at the beginning of August. Thorne and Lewis will play one season for the Illini, meaning those holes in the lineup will have to be filled again soon. Groce
has extended a flurry of offers throughout the summer to 2016 and 2017 targets, even dipping into the 2019 class to get the early jump on La Lumiere point guard Tyger Campbell. Groce has covered his bases offer-wise, making inroads in a loaded instate 2017 class. But he has yet to land a commitment in the 2016 class three months from the November signing day. Zach Norvell of Simeon and Charlie Moore of Morgan Park are 2016 Illini targets from Chicago. Moore especially would fill an immediate need at point guard. “They’re both very realistic (options),� said Joe Henricksen of City/Suburban Hoops Report. “They were on Zach Norvell very early. The (staff) obviously has strong ties to Simeon. Both Zach and Charlie get along, are friends and play together in AAU. I think those two are clearly the two guys in 2016 that Illinois has zeroed in on, focused on and most defi nitely have a realistic chance with.� But before guys like Moore or Norvell possibly play for the Illini, the upcoming season has to be played. And as it stands now, it’s very difficult to know what to expect. Junior Malcolm Hill has begun to welcome a leadership role as the team’s best player, and while he was discouraged by the loss of Abrams, he felt good at
practice in early August. “I’ve been getting a lot better as a basketball player and as a leader,� Hill said. “As far as teamwise, I think we’re doing really (well). We’re learning, of course, we’ve got new guys, but I think we’re making good progress. It’s going good so far.� But that was just prior to the team’s ten-day trip to Europe, which featured redshirt-junior forward Darius Paul getting arrested for public intoxication and vandalism. Paul’s arrest — he was sent home early from the trip as a result — marks the second time he has landed in police custody as a member of the Illini. Groce wasn’t giving Paul a third chance after he’s already coming off a season-long suspension, so the Illini’s projections for this season get that much murkier with an inexperienced frontcourt. Paul’s Illini career is over. Groce will likely have to rely on freshmen to carry a sizable load, and his top recruit Jalen ColemanLands is currently rehabbing a stress fracture in his left leg. He’ll be another question mark heading into a season full of doubts. It’s a tough spot to be in for Groce, starting down an upcoming season that means so much while knowing so little.

Since the allegations of player mistreatment and mishandling of injuries under Beckman broke in May, Monheim has played defense off the field, voicing support on Twitter and in person for Beckman, the man who gave him an opportunity and has seen Monheim grow through the years. “It’s more than a game to him and that’s what I respect about him,â€?

The Daily Illini football predictions
5D
Non-injury and recovery key to postseason win Editor’s Note: During Camp Rantoul, The Daily Illini football staff sat down and made predictions for the 2015 Illinois season.
Peter Bailey-Wells — Sports editor Prediction: 6-7 with a bowl loss. This team is Beckman’s best in four years, but so is the Big Ten. Ohio State, Nebraska and Wisconsin are very likely defeats for Illinois. It’ll be tough to get a win in Minneapolis, Iowa City or State College, and the only Big Ten games that Illinois is favored in are against Purdue and Northwestern. All four non-conference games are winnable. It’s really just tough luck for the Illini — this team is talented enough to finish with eight wins in a conference like the ACC. Injuries could also doom this team to the conference cellar if things go poorly, and if that’s the case, Tim Beckman is likely to be on the chopping block.
Michal Dwojak — Football writer Prediction: 8-5 with a bowl win. Illinois football will be successful this season if one
Illinois’ Geronimo Allison attempts to catch a pass during the annual football Spring Game at Memorial Stadium on April 18. thing happens: quarterback Wes Lunt stays healthy for the entire season. Let me know if that’s the first time you’ve heard that bold proclamation, but it’s true. The offense revolves around Lunt and his arm. If Lunt goes down, there won’t be Reilly O’Toole to save the season — it will simply go
in the tank. The defense has grown into a veteran group and the injured players should return for conference play. Again, all of this depends on the health of Lunt, so no pressure, offensive line.
Charlotte Carroll —

Prediction: 7-6 with a bowl win. For Illinois, 2015 will be a season of questions. Can the team outlast the pressures of head coach Tim Beckman? Can the team withstand current injures such as those of wide receiver Mike Dudek and defen-
sive lineman Jihad Ward? Will quarterback Wes Lunt perform at the expected level and remain unhurt? If enough of those answers are yes, Illinois should be able to put together a winning record and make another bowl game. However, as the past has shown, Illinois football is

Offseason training strengthens soccer Illini hopes to improve from last year’s record BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
Hope D’Addario spent part of her time in August on the beach in Glen Arbor, Michigan. However, D’Addario wasn’t there for a summer vacation. Instead, she and the Illinois soccer team were on the shores of Lake Michigan for preseason training. The team’s trip to Michigan provided time away from campus and a unique training environment. The team also scrimmaged Virginia in a three, 30-minute period game, rather than two 45-minute halves. Workouts consisted of usual soccer training on a practice field and included inclined running up the sand dunes on the beach. The Illini not only improved physically during their time in Michigan, but the trip strengthened team chemistry, which D’Addario thinks was just as important. “We’re trying to know each other’s tendencies,” the junior said. “We’re trying to be able to read each other a
little better and that comes from team building, that comes from practicing, that comes from doing things outside of soccer too.” This year Illinois hopes to utilize the offseason training and team-building and improve from last season’s record of 9-9-2. The Illini also want to have a deeper postseason run after losing in the first-round of last year’s Big
“We’re trying to be able to read each other a little better.” HOPE D’ADDARIO PLAYER
Ten Tournament and missing the NCAA Tournament. Illinois coach Janet Rayfield believes last year’s poor postseason will motivate this year’s squad. “Those are things that you come to expect when you put on an Illinois uniform,” Rayfield said. “I think especially our seniors, they want to go out with the expectations that
this program is expected to be.” The Illini’s chances of an NCAA Tournament appearance may be improved with the return of senior Jannelle Flaws. Flaws was granted a sixth year of eligibility due to missing two seasons with knee injuries. Flaws scored 17 goals and recorded three assists last season. Her 17 goals were 12th-best in the NCAA. Flaws is just four goals away from the Illinois all-time scoring record, Tara Hurless’ 47 goals. Rayfield believes having Flaws for another season will not only provide the Illini with a goal-scoring threat, but also free up other players for scoring chances. Illinois’ other scoring threats this upcoming season are sophomores Allison Stucky, Kara Marbury and senior Reagan Robishaw. The team will play the season under the shadow of $50,000 lawsuit filed against Rayfield and the University by former player Casey Conine over the summer. Conine allegedly stated she was not treated properly for concussions she received while playing at Illinois.

It took a few rough patches before Illinois hockey was able to adjust and come together at the end of last season. This season, the team is looking to skip the growing pains. The Illini went 8-9 in the CSCHL last season, which placed them fourth out of the five teams in the conference. A strong finish to the season netted them a quarterfinal berth at Nationals. Sophomore center Eric Cruikshank was a major contributor to the team’s late-season success. He had 32 points on the season, the second most on the team. There was a notable difference between the regular season and postseason play for the Illini, according to Cruikshank. “I think our team all finally settled down and started playing the way we knew we could play,” Cruikshank said. “What needed to be improved was the amount of penalties we were taking, the lack of offense on the power
play and our consistency.” It is important for the Illini to keep improving on these areas, since it has already proven to work for them. However, the team is not exactly the same as it was last year, which opens up other roster holes that need to be filled. The Illini defense in particular has taken a hit, losing core defensemen William

Nunez and Joshua Baker. Nunez was voted the team’s best defenseman last season. Cruikshank believes that the team has plenty of strong players that can fill that void, though. The Illini’s defense is going to need to be in top form if they hope to reach
the team’s goals, and according to sophomore forward Shaunak Pal, those goals are set high. “Our main goal is to start the season off and prove that we are the best team in the conference and that we are a top-five team in the country,” Pal said. “If we come together by the end of the season, we can make a good run at Nationals.” The first game of the season for the Illini is Sept. 18 at home against Michigan State, but the Illini are looking forward to getting back to campus and get back on the ice. The players have been working hard this summer to improve and reach their goals. Pal is looking to give his team more chances and consistently make a bigger impact on the score sheet. Experience alone has allowed him to figure out where he should be on the ice to make the most efficient play for his teammates. Cruikshank believes that he has improved his ability to play in all three zones. In the middle of last season, head coach Nick Fabbrini moved him from the wing to the center position,

ith August nearing its end and back-toschool sales everywhere you turn, summer 2015 is just about over. It’s time to buckle down and hit the books, kids. Study, research, analyze and repeat. Oh, I’m talking about fantasy football, if that wasn’t clear. Yes, boys and girls, with another semester comes another glorious season of fantasy football for us to all become obsessed with and lose a few friends over. I am your Fantasy Doctor this season, and I’ll be prescribing weekly tips on how to rule your fantasy league with an iron fist. Whether it’s your first goaround at this fantasy thing (no, Andrew Luck and Antonio Brown aren’t going to be on the same team in real life) or you’re a grizzled veteran with plenty of waiverwire war tales, everyone could use a visit to the doctor once in a while. So stay tuned all season for tips that I steal from insiders and plenty of great medical puns. For this week, we’ll kick off the festivities with some draft tips.

SOCCER As the season gets underway, the Illini can look forward to national exposure at the Husky Nike Invitational on Sept. 4 in Seattle, Washington, and a conference schedule of 11 of the 13 other Big Ten teams. Illinois will not face 2014 Big Ten Champion Penn State and 2014 Big Ten Tournament Champion Wisconsin. D’Addario hopes the team’s focus will eventually lead to a shot at the Big Ten Championship and NCAA Tournament. “I think if you ask any
In many ways, the draft is the best part of any fantasy football season. Whether you and your league all get together in front of a giant draft board and bond over the shared urge to murder one another, or if you sit in front of your laptop typing in all caps about how stupid taking Jay Cutler in the fourth round is (because you wanted him in the fifth round), it’s all great fun. I won’t go into too much detail about the draft process because it’s pretty simple. But of my few drafting tips, the most important one is to never take a kicker before your absolute final pick. As a doctor, I am deeming the selection of a kicker any time before the last round bad for your health, so please don’t do it. Heck, if you don’t draft a kicker at all that is also completely fine, since you can just grab one on waivers. Kickers are so interchangeable in fantasy football. There is no need to take Sebastian Janikowski in the seventh round because he can kick 60-yard field goals, or go for Stephen Gostkowski in the eighth because the Patriots score a bunch. There are about 20 different kickers that can provide 10-12 points any given week, so just play the matchups and work that Big Ten team that’s going to be their goal, but I think for us, we’re really striving towards that because we know we have a really great chance for it,” D’Addario said. “We’re trying to take things one step at a time, but since we didn’t make the NCAA Tournament last year, we know that in the back of our minds, that’s what we want most. We’re really not going to stop pushing until we reach the first one and then hopefully reach the second one.”

waiver wire. The only other tip I’d offer for drafting is to bring your own cheat sheet. Those long, 300-player rankings that come standard in any fantasy football magazine are cool, but to make it easier on yourself, write up little, personal rankings of each position. It keeps things it more organized, especially when you know what position you’re going for during a certain pick. And if you research correctly, your rankings will be better than those generic cheat sheets in the magazines anyway. Oh, and make sure you pay attention to who has been taken. No one likes that guy that’s surprised when Jamaal Charles isn’t still there in the third round. Be diligent, not unintelligent. This is very serious stuff, OK. Those seem like some pretty basic tips, but it’s been scientifically proven that time moves faster during a fantasy football draft, so being prepared and organized is key. Have a strategy and stick to it. For some help on that strategy, come back next time when I break down some players to stay away from and name some everelusive sleepers. Now back to studying.

PREDICT bowl win The 2015 Illini football team offers more questions than answers heading into the season. The core of this team is now a “Tim Beckman” group of players, but that may not translate into many more wins. Based on Beckman’s history, the team’s win total should increase to eight wins this season, but a 7-6 campaign, including a bowl victory, seems more likely. The senior-led defense could prove to be Beckman’s best in four years, but injuries and questions offensively surrounding Wes Lunt, Mike Dudek, Justin Hardee
and a second-tier running back behind Josh Ferguson leave a lot of uncertainty.
Masaki Sugimoto — Onair football reporter Prediction: 4-8 with no bowl game. Illinois’ roster has decent talent and experience this season, but won’t make it far. The potential of a lawsuit and the outcome of an investigation are still undetermined, meaning this program could hit harder times than it already has. The Illini are good enough to make it out of the non-conference portion of the schedule with some wins, but Big Ten play will prove to be a struggle for the Illini. Mike Dudek’s recovery will be something
to watch for this team.
Dan Escalona — College football columnist Prediction: 7-6 with a bowl win. Expect Wes Lunt to stay healthy and Mike Dudek to return ahead of schedule to lead a potent Illini offense. Yet, only a marginal improvement will be seen on the defensive end as Illinois should finish the season once again at 6–6. By virtue of a .500 record, they’ll play in a mediocre bowl game, but having learned their lesson from 2014’s Heart of Dallas Bowl disaster, the Illini could very well save Tim Beckman’s job with his first bowl win as Illinois head coach.

HOCKEY a move that allowed him to feel much more comfortable. “I’m looking forward to reconnecting the bonds we had as a team last year. It was easily one of the closest and best groups of guys I’ve played with, and I am thankful that I still get to play hockey and play with (the team),” Cruikshank said. “I’m itching to get back into the swing of things here in a few weeks.”

Swimming hopes for Big Ten success in new season New faces, hard work help Illini break streak

Baseball’s busy summer ends
STAFF WRITER
The 2015 -2016 season looks to be a promising one for the Illini swim and dive team after fi nishing the 2014-15 season with a 6-4 dual meet record, along with 42 changes to the individual record books. Sophomore Samantha Stratford will be a crucial part of any success Illinois will have in the pool this season. Stratford was a big contributor in her freshman year with the Illini, swimming four individual performances that rank on the school’s all-time top-10. Stratford was also part of two school-record relays, the 800 freestyle relay (7:13.98) and the 400 medley relay (3:41.75). This sparkling performance looks to offset the loss of Alison Meng. Meng leaves Illinois with four individual school records, and is part of two school record relays. Adding to an already impressive list of accomplishments, Meng is also the fastest Illini in the 50 backstroke (25.02), 100 backstroke (53.92), 50 butterfly (25.23), and the 100 butterfly (57.47). Outside of Stratford, the Illini have a number of others who are ready to step in and make sure they record their third consecutive winning season.
Players return to campus following summer league, minor league play BY NICHOLAS FORTIN STAFF WRITER
The Illinois baseball team has been busy this summer. After being knocked out by Vanderbilt in Illinois’ firstever NCAA Super Regional appearance, the Illini had nine players selected in the 2015 MLB draft. Illinois’ eventful summer didn’t stop there as 18 current Illini traded in their orange and blue for the team colors of 11 different summer collegiate league teams across six different leagues. As is usually the case, the majority of Illini playing summer ball wound up in the Northwoods league, with 10 Illini playing among five Northwoods league teams this summer. The Waterloo Bucks added four Illini to their roster for the summer in junior outfielder Ryan Nagle and pitcher Charlie Naso Jr., as well as sophomore infielder Matthew James and redshirt freshman pitcher Doug Hayes. Junior pitcher J.D. Nielsen and sophomore outfielder Pat McInerney also found themselves in the Northwoods league as the pair played for the Kenosha Kingfish. Nielsen recorded 24 strike-
outs and posted a 2.73 ERA in 23 innings pitched while the team went on to win the Northwoods League Summer Collegiate World Series. Like their Illinois teammates, Ryne Roper and Adam Walton also played in the Northwoods league as the two competed for the Rochester Honkers. Junior catcher Jason Goldstein, like Walton, decided to forgo playing for an MLBaffiliated minor league team after being drafted over the summer and instead played for the Madison Mallards. Goldstein hit .323 with 41 hits and 17 RBIs in 37 games. Nick Blackburn rounded out the Illini in the Northwoods league as the junior pitcher played for the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. Along with the Northwoods league, there were also Illini that played in the Chicago, Kansas, Prospect, Cape Cod and Great Lakes leagues. Anthony Drago and Ryan Huff represented Illinois in the Chicago league as members of the Lombard Orioles while Zack Kolakowski was the lone player in the Kansas league as he competed for the Hutchinson Monarchs.
Quinten Sefcik and Mark Skonieczny rounded out the Illini in the Midwest as the two played for the Terre Haute Rex and the Lake Erie Monarchs in the Prospect and Great Lakes leagues, respectively. Cody Sedlock was the only Illinois player to leave the Midwest, playing for the Bourne Braves in the Cape Cod league. The sophomore pitcher compiled 26 strikeouts and a 3.41 ERA over 29 innings of work in the country’s top collegiate summer league. While most of the Illini playing summer ball stuck to the collegiate circuit, Nagle was the lone Illini who jumped between the two. After playing in 18 games, batting .275 and being honored as player of the night for a 3-for-5, four RBI performance that included a home run for Waterloo, Nagle joined six other formerIllini and 2015 Illinois draftees in the MLB minor leagues by signing with the short season class-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the West Virginia Black Bears. In 18 games with the Bears, Nagle has hit .250 with 16 hits, six runs and 10 RBIs in 64 at-bats.
Two of those swimmers are juniors Gabbie Stecker and Amelia Schilling. Stecker set two school records and had multiple top-10 performances last season. Schilling earned spots on four of Illinois’ top-10 fastest individual event lists. She also posted the fi fth-best 200 freestyle time at last years’ Big Ten Championships. The program adds a total of nine new faces this upcoming season. Head coach Sue Novitsky believes that the incoming recruits will yield positive results in and out of the pool. “As a staff, we feel that we added to the talent level of the recruits that we signed in the fall,� Novitsky said. “They have had success at the high school, club, collegiate and national level. As a group, they are hard workers in the pool and in the classroom. Their work ethic and individual personalities will be assets to the team.� Senior Jennifer Coady can’t wait to see if the teams’ summer of hard work will pay off. After two straight seasons that have resulted in a 12th-place fi nish in the Big Ten, the Illini can only go up. “The summer is really great,� Coady said. “I’ve stayed every summer since the summer after my freshman year. I really like it, it’s a smaller group of people so you’re able to pay attention to more details. We still practice two times each day, so we’re still practicing a lot, then we also swim one meet at the end of the summer at Purdue, so we’re excited to see how we do at that meet.�
Former Illini first baseman David Kerian, No. 6 overall pick pitcher Tyler Jay and fellow pitchers Kevin Duchene, Drasen Johnson, John Kravetz and John McDonnell also spent their summer in the minor leagues, with varying degrees of success. Of the pitchers, Johnson performed the best posting a 3.46 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 26 innings of work for the Boise Hawks, the short season class-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. Kerian also played well, tallying 32 hits and 18 RBIs in 142 plate appearances over 38 games with the Auburn Doubledays. After going undrafted, former Illini outfielder Casey Fletcher also spent his summer playing ball. Fletcher competed for the Joliet Slammers in the independent Frontier League. Although both Blackburn and Walton were drafted along with their fellow Illini, the summer will end with the pair and Goldstein coming back to Champaign-Urbana to compete once again for Illinois.
