Ross to help Wilson in LAS position BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
Acting Chancellor and Dean of LAS Barbara Wilson said she knows she can not do both jobs on her own, which is why she enlisted the help of Brian Ross, professor in psychology. Ross will serve as the executive associate dean of LAS until a permanent chancellor is named. “I don’t think you can do both of these jobs even half time,” Wilson said at a Senate Executive Meeting Monday. Ross served as interim dean of LAS in 2013, before Wilson was named as the permanent dean of the college. Ross, who joined the University faculty in 1982, has spent his entire career in LAS . He was one of the first faculty members to conduct research at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the University institute that deals with interdisciplinary research. Ross also served as associate dean under previous dean of LAS, Ruth Watkins. “He has a proven track record, and he knows LAS through and through,” Wilson said. “He’s well
respected, and I couldn’t be happier that he’s available and willing to do this.” Wilson, however, said she will not be removed from LAS completely. “If you want to quantify it, this will reduce my time to 10 percent or less in LAS, mostly on fundraising initiatives,” she said. The initiatives include restoring many of the LAS buildings located on the Main Quad, she said. “I feel the dean still needs to be connected to those high level initiatives,” Wilson said. “But for practical, everyday matters, Brian will be taking charge of the college for a year.” Wilson, who said she never imagined herself in this position, said she was heartened by all of the emails she has received from University administrators offering their help and support. “I agreed to do this job because I want to help, and I feel I’ll need all of you in a big way,” Wilson said. “I will be calling on lots of people, because it’s the way that I do things.”

Though Campbell said he might have been “too focused” on moving forward last year without addressing the problems at hand, he said it is vital the SEC chair keeps the committee on task, despite any current crisis. However, he said he should have insisted on more dialogue throughout the year.

MAP grants move forward despite budget Over $12 million in the State of Illinois Monetary Award Program grants has been distributed to 5,667 University students for the fall semester, despite the lack of a planned state budget, said Director of Student Financial Aid Dan Mann. As Illinois continues to go without an approved state budget, concerns have been raised about students receiving MAP grants. The grants give aid to Illinois residents who attend Illinois colleges and show financial need, among meeting other requirements. The money does not need to be repaid, according to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission’s website. On Aug. 19, the Illinois Sen-
ate approved a bill authorizing the state to pay $373 million to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for grants in the Monetary Award Program to eligible students. Lynne Baker, managing director of communications for the ISAC, said there are colleges that will be crediting students for MAP grants, but some will not be able to aid students. Many students who do receive the grant usually eventually resort to financial aid to attend college. Additionally, those who receive aid have to overcome other obstacles, such as being first generation college students, before they can receive financial aid, Baker said.

Residence halls face connectivity issues CHARLOTTE COLLINS ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR
Wireless connectivity to IllinoisNet has been degraded in the University’s residence halls according to Technology Services at Illinois, formerly known as CITES. Technology Services has been trying to diagnose the connectivity issues and the root of the problem since Friday; however, connectivity varies greatly from place to place so it has been difficult to pinpoint. “It varies from location to location so someone could be in a common area of a residence hall and everything’s working fine and then they could go
into their room and have issues,” said Brian Mertz, the Chief Communications Officer for Technology Services at Illinois. “We’re still trying to get the full grasp of what’s causing this problem and what’s the root of it; there’s also a lot of people in the residence halls that are not having this problem, it’s not like it’s a complete outage and in some ways, that makes it even more difficult for us to diagnose.” Mertz noted that the IllinoisNet Start network can provide temporary access before users are required to log in to another network for internet access. It was just rolled out over the summer and was initially supposed to be used

CORRECTIONS In the Aug. 25, 2015, edition of The Daily Illini the article, “UI adds provost to admin search list,” incorrectly attributed a quote to SEC Chair Gay Miller. The quote should have been attributed to Acting Chancellor Barbara Wilson. The Daily Illini regrets the error. In the Aug. 25, 2015, edition of The Daily Illini the photo caption for “UI adds provost to admin search list,” incorrectly identified former UI president Bob Easter. The caption should have identified him as former UI president Michael Hogan. The Daily Illini regrets the error. In the Aug. 25, 2015, edition of The Daily Illini, the illustration in the article, “Football loses budget key players before start of season,” stated Dre Brown had a foot injury and Justin Hardee had a knee injury. The illustration should have said Brown had a knee injury and Hardee had a foot injury. The illustration said Jihad Ward’s injury status was “out indefinitely.” It should have said he is out for at least the first two games. The Daily Illini regrets these errors.

Sami Forsythe, senior in Business, said it is important for women to make a name for themselves in the business world because there was a time when they were not treated equally. “I think it’s important for women to have a strong presence in the business industry because women in the past did not have the same rights that we have today,” Forsythe said. “We need to take advantage of these endless opportunities.” Jennifer Neef, associate director of Career Connections at The Career Center, said encouraging students to be curious about the world around them will only lead

Miller said she will do her best to involve all SEC members in important discussions and listen to every opinion. “Shared governance also means that after open debate, people accept the collective wisdom of the body,” Miller said. Miller began her service as SEC chair during turbulent times for the University administration.

There is no policy against keeping discussions with administrators private; however, some SEC members said at a committee meeting Monday they felt it created a breach of trust within the governing body. Miller said there are specific policies on how to handle such issues, and she will plan reports to the SEC or Academic Senate to inform the groups as a whole.

The task force also suggested a number of candidates in May to join the transition team. “We handed off our recommendations to the president and he picked up the baton from there,” White said. “The first act that he has taken was appointing the transition team.”
White said the task force doesn’t expect to have continued involvement now that the team has been selected. White served as the chair of the task force leading ten other members, two of which went on to be selected for the transition team.

Campbell said Miller has a good head on her shoulders and probably does not need his advice, however he said he believes it’s important to avoid getting caught up in politics. “Outside interference can be quite a problem in how the faculty and administration operate,” he said. “But on the whole, everyone has the good will of the students, the University, and keeping the University going.”

Email restrictions step in right direction for University
mong other factors, the use of personal email accounts that skirted public records was followed by the resignations of two University officials — Provost Ilesanmi Adesida and former Chancellor Phyllis Wise. At Monday’s Senate Executive Committee meeting, SEC member Abbas Aminmansour presented a draft of an email code of conduct for SEC members to adopt. The proposed code would require all SEC members to disclose the University administrators they discuss University business with and what that business is. While some SEC members, such as Vice Chair Kim Graber and member Matt Wheeler, raised concerns that the code would put restrictions
on whom individual members can talk to about University matters, Aminmansour stated this was not the intention. Even if restrictions were a side-effect of the new policies, it would be a beneficial change to current rules and would provide more transparency and honesty to University communication. When the University released 1,100 pages of emails on Aug. 6, SEC members Nick Burbules, Joyce Tolliver and Graber were included in the emails and found giving advice to Wise and other administrators. Some of the advice centered around topics the SEC and Academic Senate also discussed and debated throughout the 2014-2015 school year including Steven Salaita and the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine.
Requiring SEC members to disclose such conversations would add a needed layer of transparency to current University conduct. It would provide SEC members with the sense of security that they can trust fellow members; members may also be better able to understand a person’s viewpoints if more information is shared. Most importantly, it would reassure the University community that our University and its leaders are committed to transparency and shared governance rather than politics. Although it seems Wise and Adesida truly believed they were doing what was best for the University by communicating privately, keeping all decision makers on the same page will benefit our University immensely.
New attendance policy leaves students in limbo STEPHANIE YOUSSEF Opinions Columnist

eginning my senior year at the University, I know the end to my undergraduate career is quickly approaching. I and many other soon to be graduates aspire to walk down the aisle of our commencement ceremony in May all starry-eyed with a degree in our hands and our plans for after graduation secured. The dream of a successful undergraduate career leading to a job or post graduate program admission is a dream many strive for while attending a nationally and internationally ranked University. Campus resources are even improved each year to help make that dream a reality for students. However, a recent policy change with excused absences hinders the progress the University has made to help students graduate successfully. Effective beginning summer 2015, the Student Assistance Center adjusted some of the procedures outlined for attaining excused absences. Most notably, job or graduate school interviews are no longer considered eligible excuses for missing classes or exams. Upon first hearing this, I couldn’t imagine why this policy was changed. It makes no sense for an institution that provides so many resources meant to further a student’s career plans to decide to establish a policy that impedes student access to key parts of achieving future objectives.
Gabriel Manning, a senior in ACES expressed, “Personally, I think the University’s new policy towards absences is completely unfair.� As students, our goals of graduating with admissions into graduate and professional programs should be the priority over making it to a certain class discussion. Though our wallets are well aware of the fact that we, as students, have made an academic commitment to this university, the main purpose in enrolling for many of us was to graduate with a degree and a job secured. It is understandable that some students have a reputation of abusing university excused absence policies to miss class, but nobody is asking administrators to bend over backwards with accommodations. Anuj Chokshi, a junior in LAS believes that “there are far more students who fake illnesses than purposely have interviews to get out of exams.� It is unreasonable to decline an excuse to a student who provides legitimate documentation for a scheduled interview. I can’t seem to wrap my head around the twisted logic that somehow job interviews “do not satisfy the standard of significant and compelling� according to the Student Assistance Center. This is a frustration echoed by many other undergraduate students. Rafael Sierra, a senior in LAS, stated, “It is counterproductive for the University to actively prevent students from applying to jobs, internships, or grad school.� Imagine having to choose between going to an important job interview or

Their policies require notification of our conflicts before they occur, which is only fair. These professors have all personally gone through the same processes that the current class of seniors are experiencing and their understanding helps relieve part of this stress.� A potential solution to the issue with this new attendance policy comes with other professors following suit and showing a greater dedication to the success of their students’ professional development. Another solution lies in the Student Assistance Center understanding the meaning of student assistance.
SPEAKING UP
The University is currently at a major crossroads, where it can either recommit to its mission to “transform lives and serve society by educating, creating knowledge and putting knowledge to work on a large scale and with excellence� or continue on with the skepticism and distrust of the past ten years. As Acting Chancellor Barbara Wilson said Monday, the SEC must begin to have more frank conversations to move past the “anger, anxiety and lack of trust,� University faculty and staff are experiencing. Simply disclosing more information about conversations concerning University business will help diffuse tension and reestablish a sense of trust and dedication in every University community and administrative branch.

SoulCycle founders peddling fun into gym
NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The gig: Julie Rice, 45, and Elizabeth Cutler, 48, are co-founders of SoulCycle, a chain of indoor cycling gyms that has pioneered a new generation of pay-per-class luxury studios where the exercise is only part of an experience (think candles and stylish gym wear). The company has 46 locations and employs 1,500 people. SoulCycle’s combination of fitness and fun — crammed into 45-minute classes — has gained a devoted following around the country. SoulCycle filed to go public in July. In securities filings, the company reported net income of $26.5 million last year, up 42 percent from $18.6 million in 2013. Revenue shot up nearly 50 percent to $112 million in 2014. First careers: Rice and Cutler had lengthy careers in other fields before venturing into physical fitness. Rice, who dreamed of the stage as a child, became a talent agent in Los Angeles and New York after studying English and theater at State University of New York in Binghamton. Cutler worked as a New York real estate broker, following in the footsteps of her mother, who also sold real estate. She majored in religious studies at the University of Colorado. Fitness fans: Rice’s father was a physical education teacher, so fitness was part of her upbringing. One of her favorite aspects about LA, Rice said, was how people equated exercise with fun. So it was a jarring change when she moved back to the East Coast. “The one thing I really missed about LA is the way people embraced
exercise. So much of your social life is based on exercise,” she said. “When I came back to New York, exercise was more on people’s to-do list.” After having two children and gaining some weight, Cutler said, she got “anxious and scared” going to the gym and had trouble finding great exercise classes. That’s when she got the idea to open a gym that catered to cycling fanatics like her who wanted a workout in an upscale environment. Blind date: A cycling instructor introduced Cutler to Rice in 2006, and the two hit it off immediately. Both had the same vision of creating a luxurious cycling studio where the exercise was “challenging but joyful,” Cutler said. “The environment could be chic and feel more like a luxury.” The pair opened their first SoulCycle location just a few months later on the Upper West Side in an old dance studio. They were self-funded; a large chunk came from money Cutler got as part of an investment in Izze Beverage Co., a friend’s juice company that was snapped up by PepsiCo. Cutler said the money from Izze allowed them “to make the good decisions and not be beholden to anybody.” Standing out: The two knew they needed to figure out a way to convince customers that they were offering something unique among gyms. So they focused on creating an efficient 45-minute cycling class with weights. They also decided on a pay-perclass model instead of the traditional monthly gym subscription, which would challenge SoulCycle to cre-
ate a “consistent but new experience” every visit, Rice said. “It was efficient and fun,” Cutler said Expansion: Within six months, the first studio was turning a profit. SoulCycle expanded slowly at first, landing in California in 2012. SoulCycle has also branched out into merchandise such as workout clothes, with 14 new collections every year. In 2011, the fitness company Equinox Gym bought a controlling stake in SoulCycle, which helped the company grow faster, Rice said. Splitting duties: Cutler and Rice say they balance each other out. With her background in real estate, Cutler handles property and business development. Rice said she still considers herself a talent scout, only for the gym instead of the screen. SoulCycle auditions 150 aspiring instructors for every 20 hired, and those who make the cut undergo two months of training. Everyone is required to take hospitality classes. Even high-ranking executives do stints at a studio’s front desk so they know how they operate. “We train our staff to make sure they treat our riders like family,” Rice said. “If you sprain your ankle and are out for two weeks, somebody calls.” Family: Rice’s husband, Spencer, recently came aboard as SoulCycle’s chief marketing officer. Cutler’s husband, Allen, doesn’t work for SoulCycle, but he came up with the name. Each couple has two daughters. Cutler likes to ride bikes outside, cook and indulge in frozen yogurt. Rice likes going to the theater and taking trips to the beach.

Parents try to avoid the legacy of student debt More parents are planning to prevent a cycle of debt BY TIM GRANT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Parents who are still paying off their student loans are determined to save for their own children’s college education to help them avoid repeating the vicious cycle of debt, according to a survey by the Washington-based College Savings Foundation. “We are finding that parents — particularly in the millennial generation — are much better at delayed gratification and setting goals and saving to reach them,” said Mary Morris, chair of the College Savings Foundation and CEO of Virginia College Savings Plan in Richmond, Va. “Many have made saving for their children’s education a priority. “We find almost a third of the survey respondents are saving with a 529 plan and that a significant majority say saving is their No. 1 strategy for paying for their children’s cost of college.” Nearly half of parents who haven’t paid off their own student loans have saved at least $5,000 toward college costs for
each of their children. The foundation’s ninth annual College Savings survey of more than 800 parents across the country at all income levels found 82 percent of those with college debt said their own experience made them consider other strategies for their children, rather than relying heavily on student loans or government financial aid. Reducing the burden of student debt on the children is important, said Pittsburgh financial adviser Robert Fragasso, although parents’ No. 1 priority during their prime working years should be to put themselves in a better position to retire securely. “Ideally, you do both. Practically, we know that doesn’t work for most people,” said Fragasso, chairman and CEO of Fragasso Financial Advisors. “High-earning parents could do both. Most parents can’t. For the majority who can’t, I would counsel prefunding for their children for their freshman year in a 529 plan. “After that and once the children have established their grade record, they have a heightened chance of getting scholarships and grants,” he said. “Meanwhile, the parents can furiously pay down their own student debt. And if there’s any time left over once that’s done, start pre-funding sophomore and

other years for the kids.” The idea behind this strategy, Fragasso said, is that colleges want to keep the most promising students in school and not have them drop out for financial reasons. Therefore, crossing the freshman year hurdle with good grades enhances the opportunity to get financial aid. Morris said there are multiple reasons that student debt has become a multi-generational burden for many families. “You have more people going back to college in later years to better prepare for the job market,” she said. “You would expect them to have some debt if they retrained themselves later in life. ... “Some of them went to college at a more traditional age, in their late teens or early 20s,” she said. “If they are still paying off student loans 30 years later, they probably had some significant challenges in their adult life” such as job losses and illness that made it hard to pay down the debt. “What’s encouraging is that many parents do not want the cycle of debt to continue,” Morris said. “As we get more awareness of 529 plans and the high cost of debt versus saving for college we hope more families will be able to meet their higher education goals without undue student loan debt.”

FARM TO QUAD

The Main Quad’s farmers market sells various goods like eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cilantro, green beans, potatoes and more.
Student Sustainability Farm grows and sells organic fruits and vegetables on the Quad. BY ISABELLA JACKSON
T STAFF WRITER
he crunch of cucumbers, the sweet aroma of strawberries and the refreshing scent of basil leaves: This isn’t the farmstand near home. Students can now purchase homegrown produce without leaving campus. Every Thursday from May to November, the Student Sustainability Farm sells the produce grown on the farm at a stand on Anniversary Plaza from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The produce that is available changes depending on the time of year, but there is always a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Matthew Turino, a visiting research specialist in agriculture, currently manages the SSF, which both grows the produce and staffs the stand. He said this week, there will be tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, strawberries, cilantro, green beans, potatoes and much more at the stand.
Turino said the SSF began in 2009 and has been selling produce on the Quad since 2010. The organization works to provide healthy, local food for campus, through both the farm stand on the Quad and University Dining Services. The farm is staffed by student volunteers who are able to gain handson experience with organic vegetable production. The farm also serves as a space for research in organic production methods and a resource for regional farmers. According to the SSF website, although the farm, located near the intersection of Lincoln and Windsor Roads, is not a USDA certified organic farm, organic farming methods such as compost utilization and cover crop rotations are used every year. Students of all academic focuses and backgrounds work together at the farm to provide produce for campus. Nicholas Lien, senior in Engineering, said that when he first heard about the farm, he was worried that
he would not be much help as a volunteer because he had little prior knowledge of horticulture or organic farming. But on his first day last September, he was put to work harvesting vegetables, pulling weeds and washing carrots that were to be sold at the market the next week. “The folks who work at the farm are grateful for all of the volunteer help that comes their way; they are very friendly and are always willing to explain any task that is not clear,” Lien wrote in an email. After his first shift, Lien said he has tried to volunteer at least twice each week. He said volunteering at the SSF has not only taught him about agriculture, but also helped break up his daily schedule of classes and meet new people. Turino said that the farm is open to volunteers from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and larger groups can sign up to volunteer on the weekend. Students can sign up online at Thefarm.illinois.edu.
Dementro Powell, assistant director of student programs and activities, explained that the Illini Union staff supports the SSF because they believe it positively benefits the campus community. “The Student Sustainability Farm ... is an excellent way to raise awareness in the University community as well as provide homegrown nutritional produce to not only promote sustainability, but healthy lifestyle options,” Powell wrote in an email. Lien also explained that the farm and the produce stand bring people closer to the community and the area of the country that they live in. “When students enjoy a meal at a dining hall on campus, consume a salad, a tomato sauce or any dish prepared with SSF produce, I imagine that they might feel satisfied and comforted to know that that food was grown responsibly by local folks and fellow students, not mystery farmers from thousands of miles away.”

Groce ready to host a double dose of Xavier Basketball recruits set to visit University this weekend ALEX ROUX Basketball columnist
M
ost popular athletes have cool nicknames. “Air Jordan.� “King James.� Anthony “Sizzle Chest� Rizzo is my personal favorite. So when it was announced that 2016 basketball recruits Xavier Sneed and Xavier Simpson would take official visits this upcoming weekend to the Illinois campus, the local sports-nickname-generator started churning. Since Simpson and Sneed share first names, a combined nickname is necessary. And since they’re both named Xavier and are taking their Illini visits at the same time, the obvious next step is to dub them the “X-Men�. I saw
Scout’s Derek Piper make this reference first when he reported Simpson’s intention to visit, so I’m not taking credit for the nickname, which is as convenient as it is cool. The X-Men are officially slated to begin their visits Friday, Aug. 28. But before you spend your weekend scouring the campus for a guy with metal claws on his hands and furry blue superheroes, remember that I’m talking about basketball players, not comic book characters. And with Illinois’ 2016 recruiting class still sitting empty, basketball players are exactly what head coach John Groce needs. Simpson and Sneed may share the same name as well as their 2016 designation, but they play different positions. Simpson is a point guard, fills a more immediate need at Illinois and is also rated slightly higher than Sneed in the national Rivals.com rankings. Groce’s recruiting struggles at the point guard position have been discussed at length, but landing a guy like Simpson would go a long way toward silencing that dis-

Groce will host prospective students Xavier Sneed and Xavier Simpson on Friday. cussion after this season. Simpson is a consensus top-100 player in his class, and is a 5-foot-11, well-built distributor who can score the ball when he doesn’t dish. Simpson plays for Lima High School in Lima, Ohio, and seemed set on attending Xavier University (Ha!) a few months ago before cancelling a previously scheduled decision date in May. Simpson went on to have a nice summer with his King James AAU team, playing in marquee Nike events like the Peach Jam (where he averaged
19 points and seven assists per game) and the Nike Global Challenge. Xavier University is out of the picture for Simpson, and he currently has offers from Wisconsin, Purdue, Miami, Iowa State and Indiana along with the Illini. His Illinois visit is sandwiched between an August visit to Iowa State and a September 11 visit to Miami. Sneed is a 6-foot-5, 180-pound wing player from the St. Louis area, and he plays on the same St. Louis Eagles AAU team as some of the Illini’s high-
est-priority targets in the 2017 class. Illinois’ roster certainly isn’t short on wings, but Sneed’s athleticism is desired on any team. Along with the Illini, he’s currently considering Creighton, Kansas State, Wichita State and Xavier. Assuming Groce follows the blueprint of past official visits, we have an idea of how this weekend’s festivities will play out. Look for the staff taking the X-Men around campus on golf carts on Friday. And although there won’t be a football game, I would be surprised if Groce doesn’t
take Simpson and Sneed to the Stuff Huff volleyball game Friday night, which will be intense as always. A team dinner at Groce’s house is standard procedure as well. Last time Groce hosted a fall double-visit, he went 1-for-2 between Jalen Coleman-Lands and Elijah Thomas. Any commitments this weekend would break the seal on the Illini’s 2016 class. Let the fun begin.

Illini rookies will need to contribute offensively Football’s freshmen must step up amid team’s injuries BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
On a team with 22 seniors, Illinois football wanted to rely mainly on its experience this season. But with injuries threatening the return of key players, the Illini may have to use its younger options sooner than anticipated. There are 36 newcomers in all, with 18 freshmen signees, seven juniorcollege transfers and 12 walk-ons. Excluding the walk-ons, Illinois has the 47th-best recruiting class in the country according to 247Sports with two four-star recruits: Ke’Shawn Vaughn and Gabe Megginson. The Illini’s class ranks seventh in the Big Ten. This jump is a vast improvement from last season when the Illini ranked 72nd overall and had no four-star recruits. Illinois had the worst recruiting class in the Big Ten last season. One of the most important positions that these newcomers could play a role is the quarterback
spot. Freshmen Jimmy Fitzgerald and Jeff George Jr. enrolled early to participate in spring practices but redshirt freshman Chayce Crouch is the only backup to see the sideline during an Illini game. The offense is in very young hands in the event that starting quarterback Wes Lunt goes down to injury. “I don’t think they’re prepared right now,� said offensive coordinator Bill Cubit. “This is the first time they’re getting used to game plans. They’ve never experienced this before.� But, he added, they have shown great improvements and it will just take time and reps to get to that level. While Illinois will have plenty of new players to fill roles in case of injury in coming years, the team will also rely on redshirt freshmen this season. Offensive lineman and three-star recruit Nick Allegreti will add to the upperclassmanheavy offensive line. Four-star recruit Megginson is another option if he does not redshirt. Cubit said he is being prepared as if he will play, but hopes he won’t have to. “Everyone talked about Gabe Megginson coming in,� said offensive lineman Ted Karras. “I guess I was a little worried about what his demeanor was going to be,
with him getting so much attention in high school, but he couldn’t have been more humble and ready to work.� The running back spot is one where a freshman may also see playing time. With injuries leaving freshmen Dre Brown and Reggie Corbin out for the season, Vaughn will be competing with junior transfer Henry Enyenihi for the top spot behind Josh Ferguson. At the wide receiver spot, sophomore standout Mike Dudek will be out until at least October with a torn ACL and senior Justin Hardee will miss two to three games due to a broken foot. Lunt will have to rely on Ferguson, Geronimo Allison and its freshmen: Sam Mays and Desmond Cain. But for now the focus is on preparing the young guys with game plans and game situations, a task sometimes difficult for players adjusting to the college program. “You take the older guys, like Mikey and have him go tell Des how this is going to go,� Cubit said on one strategy used to help freshman adjust. “They think it’s going to naturally work just because I’m a Big Ten football coach. It doesn’t work that way.�

ormer Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter was on the verge of leading a college sports revolution and becoming an icon of the labor movement in one swoop. Instead, he has become a modern Sisyphus-like figure in a campaign to create a more equitable system in college athletics. Colter was driving the effort of Northwestern football players downfield toward the end zone before the opposing defense — in this case the National Labor Relations Board — sacked him on fourth down. In light of the NLRB’s unanimous decision to deny the right of Northwestern football players to unionize, the fight to classify college athletes as employees — and therefore entitle them to compensation and other privileges — has stalled. With that, the recent momentum going in favor of establishing a more level playing field for college athletes has withered away. Last week, the NLRB ruled against Colter and the rest of the Northwestern players. The decision overturned the March 2014 ruling by the NLRB’s District 13
regional director that the Northwestern players should be classified as university employees under the National Labor Relations Act, and therefore protect the players’ right to form a union. The board, in overruling the 2014 decision, argued that the NLRB does not have jurisdiction over private universities and that “asserting jurisdiction over a single team would not promote stability in labor relations across the league.�
Studentathletes beyond the confines of Northwestern must get involved. This decision comes on the heels of a recent surge in momentum in the direction for a renewed legal status of college athletes. The 2014 NLRB decision and the recent Ed O’Bannon case were the main sources of the prevailing winds at the back of groundbreaking changes to the college athletics. To review, Ed O’Bannon, a former basketball player at UCLA, sued the NCAA for using his likeness in a video
game without consent and compensation. The U.S. District Court of Northern California would eventually rule in favor of O’Bannon, claiming that the NCAA could not use an athlete’s image and likeness for commercial purposes without compensation. The ruling was a ringing criticism of the NCAA’s long-standing ban on college athletes receiving any sort of monetary compensation. The case may not have been a direct endorsement of paying college athletes but it was an affirmation of the concept of college athletes getting compensated through endorsements and other means. The shocking achievements of the 2014 NLRB and O’Bannon decisions have been countered somewhat by last week’s Northwestern decision. Though the future of the legal status of college athletes has become much murkier, it is likely the issue may be revisited in the future. In the NLRB’s most recent decision, the Board had somewhat of a caveat. It stated that the decision “does not preclude reconsideration of the issue in the future.� This may offer hope to Colter and other athletes involved in the matter, but mere hope is not enough if college athletes wish to improve their position.

Volleyball blending new and old players in national championship push for upcoming season. ELI SCHWADRON STAFF WRITER
The Illinois volleyball team kicks off its 2015 campaign Friday night with the 10th annual Stuff Huff matchup against Louisville. The 7 p.m. match is the opening match of the weekend long Illini Classic, which will also feature Miami (OH) and Creighton. Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly has yet to set a starting lineup for his veteran-laden Illini squad, but a few players are guaranteed to see lots of time. Senior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks is a lock and sophomore libero Brandi Donnelly will anchor the team’s stalwart defense. Birks was a unanimous preseason All-Big 10 selection, and over the summer spent two weeks overseas with the Big Ten Foreign Tour Team. Hambly says her experience in Slovenia, Italy and Croatia helped her learn to communicate with a new group of players, a skill that has helped her form relationships with the three freshmen on this year’s Illinois team. “I think the thing she was challenged with was learning to communicate with the group, and so I think that’s
helped her with the younger players,” Hambly said. “But our culture is the culture that it is. And I think she’s used to operating in that. It’s a very different challenge playing with a group of all-stars than it is playing with your own team.” Hambly added that Birks’ time overseas allowed her to become more aware of what the game is like across the globe – a glimpse into the professional volleyball world, as Europe is widely considered the strongest continent for the sport.
A common goal Last season, Illinois finished third in the Big 10 with a record of 28-6 and fell to Florida in the Sweet 16. Hambly says the team had some good moments, but overall, he was not pleased with the season. “This group isn’t gonna think it’s a great season unless we do win it,” he said. “The talent’s there, the pieces are there. We need some people to figure out what college volleyball is about and figure out their roles early. Mostly, we just need to come together at the right time.” Junior transfer Naya Crit-
tenden — who played at Oregon last season — is adamant that the team must remain on the same page to hoist the national championship trophy come mid-December. “We’ve had a lot of team meetings about our common goal,” she said. “I can just tell that everyone’s in it. We wanna win. I wanna win.” Junior outside hitter Katie Roustio said Hambly’s highenergy system is integral to the team’s success. She explains that the squad must stay focused throughout the entire season, making sure that every game counts, even low-profile games and matches against less talented opponents. “We need to make sure we’re playing just as hard in those games, and really coming out with as much energy, treating every game equally.”
Fab freshmen There are three freshmen on the Illini roster. According to Hambly and fellow teammates, middle blocker Ali Bastianelli, outside hitter Beth Prince, and setter Jordyn Poulter are adjusting to the college game just fine. Junior outside hitter Michelle Strizak said the squad wel-
of personality and it just fits right in.” Hambly said Bastianelli, Prince and Pouler played well in Aug. 22’s Orange & Blue Scrimmage. But competing in a real collegiate match is an entirely different animal.
With college football season about to kick off, the last thing most fans want to do is consider issues such as the classification of college athletes as employees or unionization in college sports. And if fans are not willing to step up and confront the issues, student-athletes beyond the confines of Northwestern must get involved. Athletes at the most prestigious programs around the country must become involved if the issues spearheaded by Northwestern football players are to gain traction. It is crucial the movement spread to Ohio State, to Alabama and Oregon and beyond. That is the only way pressure can be applied on institutions such as the NCAA and the NLRB and force them to act. Otherwise, the NCAA’s algorithm that programs and reprograms the status quo in college sports will remain, and a system that exploits too many athletes will continue unchallenged.

Defense crucial for soccer’s continued dominance

Men’s tennis freshman bring diversity, energy Hirsch, Jiang bring new elements to team
immediately that he can have and I think a lot of that is going to be strength and confidence in himself.� Hirsch is looking forward to this season and says that he is ready to thrive in whatever position Dancer puts in him. “I just want to have as great of an impact on the team as I can,� Hirsch said. “Whether that means being a lineup player or not, I just want to do everything I can to help this team.� Dancer has high hopes for Jiang also, but he acknowledged that there would be some difficulties for Jiang with his transition into college. “He is a natural tennis player, and we think he is going to blossom with the competition he is going to face here,� Dancer said. “We recognize the challenges and difficulties we will face with him from an academic standpoint but it is a transition we are going to moderate from here on out.� Despite the fact that the two have just arrived at Illinois, Dancer has high expectations right out of the gate. “If we feel like they aren’t ready when the first competition comes around in September we’ll reevaluate them,� Dancer said. “Right now our intent is to have these guys step in and face competition right away.� The duo won’t step into the limelight until after team practices start in September, but this has not stopped Hirsch from looking ahead into his college career. He has not made any secret of what he expects during his college career. He wants to be an AllAmerican by his senior year.

Flaws only two goals away from breaking the career goal record BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
Scoring goals was not a problem for the Illinois soccer team in its first game of the season against Oakland. The Illini won, 4-1, in their home opener Friday against the Golden Grizzlies. Despite the abundant offensive production, forward Jannelle Flaws believes defense was the key to victory. “Defensively, we did really well as a team,� Flaws said. “I think that was the biggest difference. Our team defending on the flank and getting people to the backline.� Illinois held the Golden Grizzlies to five shots. Only three of the five were on goal. “To score four goals, that’s always a great way to start a season,� head coach Janet Rayfield said. “There were some moments of great soccer. I would prefer a shutout, but us coaches are never happy this early in the season, right?� Her team produced a shutout in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Illinois State. Goaltender Claire Wheatley recorded four saves and sophomore Sarah Warren cleared one shot off the line to preserve the shutout. Flaws and Reagan Robishaw led the offense in Illinois’ first two games, with two goals total each. Flaws assisted on both of Robishaw’s goals and Robishaw assisted on one of Flaws’ goals. The two seniors have demonstrated strong chemistry on the field and Rayfield will utilize that this season. Flaws believed Robishaw made a major impact for Illinois, establishing a lead in the first half of Friday’s match. “Her dynamic movement off the ball and her ability to take people one-onone and get to that endline was what we

places to make as big of an impact in the air as I can, but I think that’s one of my bread and butter skills,� Flaws said. Flaws is third on the list, but is just two goals shy of tying former Illini Tara Hurless’s 47-career goal record. Hurless set the record in 2004. She played for the Illini from 2001-2004. Flaws has averaged more than 14 goals a season for Illinois. She scored 23 goals in 2013 — tied for most in Division I — and 17 goals in 2014. Her next opportunity to break the record is Friday, when Illinois hosts TCU.
really needed and she had a lot of energy,� Flaws said about Robishaw. “That definitely sparked us in the first half.�
Flaws approaching career goal record Flaws continues to climb the ladder on the Illinois soccer career goals list. Her two goals in Friday’s 4-1 win against Oakland were career goals 44 and 45. Goal No. 44 was a header off a corner kick from defender Hope D’Addario. Flaws believes headers have been a big part of her prolific goal scoring. “I’m not as tall as some people, so I really have to rely on finding the right

Two new faces have sprung onto the scene for the Illinois men’s tennis team this season. Freshmen Asher Hirsch of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Pengxuan Jiang of Tian Jin, China, are two new candidates to play key roles for the Illini. The freshmen will have large shoes to fill considering the team lost four seniors from last year’s squad, including Farris Gosea, one of two Illini to qualify for the NCAA Singles Tournament. Returner Jared Hiltzik also made the tournament. The freshmen were top-100 recruits and were five-star recruits, according to tennisrecruiting.com. Hirsch was a two-time Ohio state champion in high school and was a round of 16 qualifier at the Clay Court Nationals. On the flip side, Jiang also bolstered an impressive resumĂŠ during his time in China and his high school career in California. Jiang won the Chinese nationals in singles and doubles for 14U and 16U. Jiang also spent some time ranked in the top two in China during his 14U and 16U days. Along with being from opposite sides of the world and coming from different cultures, head coach Brad Dancer says the duo brings unique skill sets to the table. He was particularly interested with Hirsch’s abilities. “I think Asher is a primetime player; he loves being in the spotlight and playing in big moments,â€? Dancer said. “We feel like there is a tremendous amount of growth
