Charges filed against men in assault of UI student DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Three men have been arrested on the charge of aggravated criminal sexual assault against a University student, according to a press release from the Champaign Police Department. The suspects were arrested Friday in connection to an incident that happened in the early morning of Sept. 23, 2012. The 23-year-old female student was taken from the dance floor of the Chester Street Bar in Champaign by a man whom police believe to be Champaign resident Alfredo Campos-Alvarez, 23, according to a press release from the Champaign Police Department and the Champaign County Clerk. Campos-Alvarez allegedly walked the victim to a waiting vehicle occupied by four other males, according to the press release. The other males were later identified in a Champaign Police Department press release as Alejandro Campos-Alvarez, 25, of Urbana; Christian Jaimes-Rodriguez, 19, of Urbana; Adan CamposMartinez, 34, Champaign; and Pedro Valerio-Mendez, 23, Champaign, whose addresses were verified by the Champaign County Circuit Clerk’s case lookup system. The victim told police she last remembered being out with friends at a nightclub and that she woke up on the floor of a bedroom where she was being sexually assaulted by a male. The victim was able to get dressed and leave the bedroom, where she was encountered by four other males. The victim reported that she was able to convince two of the males to take her to a friend’s apartment. The victim then called the police and reported the incident and was treated at a local hospital. Champaign Police arrested Alfredo Campos-Alvarez, Alejandro Campos-Alvarez
ECE building to open in fall 2014 'HVLJQ IRU ]HUR QHW HQHUJ\ LV LQ À QDO VWDJHV RI FRQVWUXFWLRQ BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER
At this time next year, University students will be taking classes in an Electrical and Computer Engineering building that uses zero energy. Construction began on the building, located on the North Quad, in January 2012 . Philip Krein, chair of the ECE building committee, said since the first day of planning with the architects, his committee expressed that net-

zero energy consumption would be a challenge worth facing. This means, through sustainable technologies installed in the building, no carbon will be emitted. “From the get-go, we told the architects we wanted to design the most energy efficient engineering building in the world,” Krein said. “Now, it’s probably going to be the best equipped department of our type in the world. It’s going to
be tremendous.” A rch itect u re c ompa ny SmithGroupJJR took on the project in 2008 while it was still in the planning stages. The same firm also designed the Beckman Institute more than twenty years ago. In an interview on the ECE website , David King , lead architect for the project, said the ECE department really “stuck to their guns” about being energy efficient. “The project has reached a place that we’re doing things that will ultimately prove to be very smart for the institution long term,” King said. “These ideas didn’t emerge from traditional
processes and value equations.” The building costs $90 million dollars to create, but Krein said the zero-energy features of the building barely contributed to that cost. “The cost of being net-zero was only an extra 3 to 4 percent and will pay itself back quickly,” Krein said. Factors that will contribute to net-zero energy in the building include more insulation in the walls, LED lighting, solar panels and energy conversion as well as systems to power electronics. Krein said it was important to know that the students would be most affected by the new building when it opens in fall
UI urges students abroad to consider safety BY AMIRAH ZAVERI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In response to the national story of a study abroad student’s sexual harassment experience in India, University faculty members and the Study Abroad Office encourage students to take safety
into account while studying in a foreign country. Michaela Cross, a South Asian studies major at the University of Chicago, wrote an August 18 account on CNN iReport of her time spent studying abroad in India. She talked about her adven-

tures and the splendor of the country. But Cross also wrote of the stalking, groping and other forms of sexual harassment she commonly encountered. Mithilesh Mishra, senior lecturer and director of the Hindi and Urdu program at the University, said in an email interview that he felt sympathy for Cross’ struggle. “Her experience, which she has most courageously articulated, it is quite unfortunately, a familiar narrative,” he said. “Although even Indian women have very similar experiences akin to (Michaela’s), I do believe, a western/foreign woman is considered an easy target by the perpetrators of such horrendous and criminal acts.” India has repeatedly been the center of several high-profile rape cases in the past months. In December, a young Indian student was beaten and gangraped by six men on a bus in New Delhi, resulting in injuries so severe that it led to her death. This act of sexual harassment sparked outrage and protests throughout the country. Additionally, six days ago, five men repeatedly raped a 22-yearold female photojournalist in the city of Mumbai; she is still recovering. In response, the Indian government has created stricter laws for perpetrators in an attempt to increase safety for women. However, Mishra said there are still

many improvements that need to be made. “Nobody seems to have a clear answer to this problem, although practically everyone would agree that it is not merely a law and order problem,” he said. “Nothing short of a total social transformation is needed to put an end to such incidents. I see signs of positive changes, but it still seems to be a long journey.” Many students participate in the University’s study abroad program, 14 of whom travelled to India during the 2010-2011 academic year. Bo Michael White, assistant director for international health and safety at the Study Abroad Office, said the University believes students can stay safe with the proper preparation. “All University of Illinois students are asked to prepare for the country they will be visiting through careful study,” he said in an email. “We are still a multi-cultural world, and we’re not going to a different version of our own country but an altogether different nation.” However, while preparation is key, Mishra said safety must be a priority. “I have been conducting a study abroad course for the last four years in India, and I myself, or my trusted local representatives, always accompany students wherever they go,” Mishra said.

The rest of the space is made up of an auditorium, classrooms and labs. More information and a virtual webcam of the new building’s construction progress is available online.

Hackers aim to improve government with apps BY EVAN HALPER LOS ANGELES TIMES
LOS ANGELES — On a recent day at work in a San Francisco loft, Moncef Belyamani was sporti ng a hipster “ L OV E� T- s h i r t a nd r i ff i n g , w it h obsessive detail, on the evolution of vinyl record production. The Android coder and sometime dance-club DJ wrapped up by explaining how Google’s language translator could be rigged to produce an excellent beat-box. Belyamani isn’t exactly the kind of guy you expect to bump into in a government building. But if you happen to be hanging out in San Mateo County offices, that’s exactly where you’ll find him many days. The 38-year-old is part of an experiment in municipal government driven by hackers like him who want to help make the public sector as responsive as the Yelp app on a smartphone. From their buzzy loft, these 28 tech wizards spend their days tapping on laptops, scribbling formulas into spiral notebooks and “ideating� — hacker-speak for tossing ideas around. Then they fan out across the country, embedding themselves within the beige conference rooms, dense procedure manuals and maddeningly slow pace of the machinery of municipal government.
They call themselves the Peace Corps for Geeks. Code for America, as the nonprofit they work for is called, condensed its improbable mission down to a few words in its recent annual report: use technology to make government “simple, beautiful, easy to use.� In Boston, for example, thousands of hydrants were getting buried in snowstorms, obstructing firefighters. A Code for America hacker built an app so Bostonians could “adopt� a hydrant and agree to keep the snow off it. The app isn’t just functional. It’s fun. It went viral. Honolulu seized on it. Folks there adopt tsunami sirens, keeping their batteries fresh. Seattle citizens began adopting storm drains to unclog. At least nine cities have built on Code for America’s work to create “Adopt-a� apps. It’s as the group intended: The code is open source, and anybody interested is encouraged to rehack it. Rarely do things work so organically in the public sector, a place of rigid org charts, layers of contracting rules and bewildering cost overruns. There are bureaucracies within bureaucracies and computers so old that nobody makes the parts anymore. Code for America founder Jennifer Pahlka readily acknowledges the inherent contradiction: “I started a program to try to
get the rock-star tech and design people to take a year off and work in the one environment that represents pretty much everything they’re supposed to hate.� The Code for America fellows, as they are called, have been lured to this aggressively unhip domain by Pahlka, a Bay Area innovation fanatic. Hers is a quintessential California story. The charismatic 43-year-old Yale grad from Maryland fell into the tech world by happenstance and built a brand around evangelizing outside-thebox thinking. Pahlka easily blends with any other activist you might bump into at a Berkeley farmers market. She has a taste for eclectic patterned clothing, singer-songwriters and sustainable agriculture. But her lack of conceit is disarming. Light conversations with her quickly become intense. Pahlka and her 10-year-old daughter, Clementine, raise eight chickens. One is named Lady Gaga. Another is Hillbilly. One thing Pahlka doesn’t know how to do is code. It’s her “dirty little secret,� she jokes. But that doesn’t matter to some of the most talented coders in the world, who insist few people better grasp its possibilities. Pahlka persuaded the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit focused on harnessing technology to make government more transparent,
LIZ O. BAYLEN LOS ANGELES TIMES
Code for America executive director Jennifer Pahlka is photographed at her office in San Francisco, California on March 14. Code for America condensed its improbable mission down to a few words in its recent annual report: use technology to make government “simple, beautiful, easy to use.� to give her $10,000 in seed money to explore the concept. Other foundations, including Google’s, would later line up with much bigger checks. Pahlka was soon putting the word out in the public sector that local governments could apply to bring a team of hackers on board for the year. Cities would commit to paying $60,000 to cover a stipend and expenses for each fellow they bring on. By 2011, she was embedding coders in Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. — and Code for America became a movement.
The White House has noticed Code For America’s triumphs. In May, Pahlka announced she was leaving for a year to help direct government innovation efforts for the Obama administration. Before she left, Pahlka embedded three teams in California. In Oakland, the task is getting the public faster and better access to government records. In San Francisco and in San Mateo County, hackers are trying to figure out how to help enroll more residents for social services, particularly food stamps.
Facebook reports government data requests ASSAULT FROM 1A
BY BRANDON BAILEY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Following the lead of other major Internet companies, Facebook issued a new report Tuesday that shows it fielded government requests for data on about 38,000 of its users around the world in the first half of this year. About half those requests came from local, state and federal authorities in the United States, according to Facebook, which said it complied with 79 percent of requests for information from U.S. agencies. Facebook said it fights many requests, and privacy advocates praised the company for joining the ranks of Google, Microsoft, Twitter and other companies that also report regularly on government demands for their users’ data. But the reports provide only a partial picture of government information-gathering, since the government restricts the companies’ ability to report on national security investigations.
“There’s definitely a lot more we would like to see in that regard,� said Nate Cardozo, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group that, among other things, grades companies on their disclosure practices. “We think these transparency reports are a good thing,� Cardozo added. “In order to have an informed debate about how much government access there is to your data, we need actual numbers.� Facebook, which has more than 1 billion users worldwide, resisted some information requests in a number of countries, including some nations where authorities have complained that antigovernment activists use social media on the Internet to communicate and organize protests. In Egypt, for example, Facebook said it received eight government requests but didn’t turn over any data. And in Turkey, Facebook said it complied with
only about half of the 96 requests for data it received from government authorities. “We scrutinize each request for legal sufficiency,� wrote Colin Stretch, Facebook’s general counsel, in a blog post Tuesday. “We fight many of these requests, pushing back when we find legal deficiencies and narrowing the scope of overly broad or vague requests.� The report, however, doesn’t provide a breakdown of how many requests stemmed from routine police investigations as opposed to national security and intelligence operations. While the former are believed to represent the largest number of requests, the latter have become controversial in the United States especially since a former National Security Agency contractor leaked evidence this summer of extensive data-gathering by the U.S. government. U.S. authorities made between 11,000 and 12,000 requests for
information in the first six months of 2013, covering data from 20,000 to 21,000 user accounts, Facebook said. That represents an increase from the second half of 2012, when U.S. authorities made 9,000 to 10,000 requests for data from 18,000 to 19,000 accounts, according to numbers the company released in June. Facebook reports the U.S. figures in a range because authorities won’t allow it to disclose exact numbers of national security requests, under federal rules and national security laws. Internet companies have said they want the freedom to report more specific numbers so their users can have a clearer picture of how often they turn over data to the government. Google, which led the way for other companies when it began reporting data requests in 2010, won permission last year to report in broad terms on one type of national security request.

“If you look at what they did elsewhere, it involved some of the big, hairy, audacious goals of government,� said Beverly Beasley Johnson, director of the San Mateo County Human Services Agency. “But they reached them just by bringing in fresh eyes and adopting a simple, easyto-use approach. We are looking for that.� She said the partnership can be tricky: “You have to be willing to be very open, to let them see everything — the good, the bad, the ugly — and do what they do.� Campos-Alvarez, have so far been charged with five counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and one count of aggravated kidnapping. Police think that CamposMartinez and Valerio-Mendez fled to Mexico shortly after the incident.

You have to navigate through it and overcome it, and you grow with those challenges,� she said. “More so, (studying abroad) helped me gain a different perspective on how different cultures work and think.�

Illinois’ new gun law a victory not just for safety, but for the nation

ov. Pat Quinn lost the battle with his amended version of the concealed carry legislation when lawmakers overrode his veto this past summer. But he didn’t stop touting his public safety mission, which started with his State of the State address earlier this year. Relative to other states, Illinois already has tight gun laws: You can be charged for buying guns for someone else, you need a permit before buying a weapon and gun shops are required to ask for permits. Yet one piece was missing: background checks, a new requirement to help close a loophole in the original concealed carry legislation. Also, gun owners are now required to report all missing guns to local authorities — whether they’re lost, stolen or just misplaced — within 72 hours. This change has an impact that reaches far beyond state borders — it’s a national victory. Quinn’s addition is especially necessary when the concealed carry legislation goes into full effect — when ordinary people can start carrying guns in public. How many people are planning to apply for concealed carry permits when registration opens Jan. 5 is anyone’s guess, but guns will be more accessible — to what effect remains unknown. Last year, Illinois citizens reported more than 3,000 stolen guns, while no lost guns were reported, according to a report published by the federal government last year. The National Crime Information Center compiles these numbers on a regular basis. Although this number is far behind a group of southern states — such as Texas, which leads the way with close to 19,000 guns reported lost — it’s important to think about how that number can change following increased availability of guns. For example, Texas is considered a state with lenient gun laws: A state permit to purchase a weapon isn’t required, nor is it mandated that owners carry their license or require them to register it. Even with the enactment of concealed carry — whether applicable to campuses or communities — these additional requirements are purposeful and necessary. Hopefully fewer guns will fall into the wrong hands, and those who do own weapons will use them in accordance with the law. Quinn will continue to push for additional provisions to the concealed carry legislation, but regardless, it’s a step — for Quinn who has been the subject of many individuals’ doubts, and for the state as well. It’s a step toward the public safety mission Quinn embraces.

Seventy-six instruments and more than $50,000 later, former Director of Bands Dr. Robert Rumbelow resigned after a University Police Department investigation concluded that he sold the instruments and deposited the money into his bank account. Sure, his intentions may have been good, but a personal bank account is the wrong place to stash his “good intentions.� Who knows, maybe this is the wake-up call the School of Music needs to improve its infrastructure.
You’ll never see (or have to smell) the entire freshman class in one place again. That being said, Quad Day was a huge success. Hundreds of Registered Student Organizations and students packed the Quad to its maximum capacity, if one exists. If you don’t have a 100 emails from RSOs or you don’t even remember exiting, then you didn’t do it right. Also The Daily Illini booth was hopping — the guys in Speedos were tolerable, too.

This week marked the beginning of the Fall 2013 semester. Well, you made it to hump day, so that’s an accomplishment. Sort of. Welcome Days destroyed most of our livers, streets and dignities. The Quad is once again busier than O’Hare Airport on any given day, and you can still smell KAM’S from Espresso Royale. It’s Day 3, so keep your head up because you’ve only got 221 left.
Missed the VMAs? Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. Miley Cyrus twerked till sunrise, Lady Gaga didn’t wear a meat-dress, the *NSYNC reunion disappointed ’90s children across the country, and Katy Perry performed her new single “Roar� — and that’s exactly how it sounded. Taylor Swift won best female video by threatening to write a hit song about anyone who felt otherwise, and Justin Timberlake won video of the year — yeah, that guy from *NSYNC.
Former band director’s theft a good deed gone wrong MAX FISCHER Opinions columnist
S
tudents here at the University are told that if there is something they want changed at this college, then they must take it upon themselves to change it. Whether that is running for the Illinois Student Senate or organizing a peaceful demonstration, students have many avenues for change. However, has anyone really given any thought to how professors can change university policies when they are told not to? Recently, former University of Illinois Director of Bands Dr. Robert Rumbelow was accused of selling over $55,000 worth of the University’s old instruments and pocketing the proceeds from the sale. He has since resigned and paid $86,000 back to the University. Dr. Linda Moorhouse has taken over as acting Director of Bands. University Police also reported “suspicious charges� on his University-issued “P-card� — basically a credit card that professors may use for “University-authorized small dollar purchases,� that are tracked by the University. Rumbelow claims the reason why he sold these instruments was to help finance a feasibility study for a new band building. The current building, the Harding Band Build-
ing, is in need of a renovation, especially if the University would like to recruit the top music players from across the nation. Logically, I would think the sale of old instruments would lead to the purchase of new, improved instruments for the band department. A band director wouldn’t get rid of instruments that would benefit his or her ensembles because that would be counterproductive in regards to recruiting top-tier music students — something he was assigned to do upon his employment. The problem was simply where he was allocating the funds, which was his personal bank account. Back when Rumbelow was hired in 2010, he was given two major tasks. The first was to update the University’s collection of instruments, and the second was to update the old Harding Band Building. A man tasked with a problem, armed with a solution, but in the end, punished for the unconventional way he approached it. For any kind of construction project there is always one major factor to consider, which usually sidelines most ideas before they are even brought up: money. And there does not seem to be much of it hanging around the cornfields of Illinois these days. Illinois’ ability to adequately fund its public universities, as well as many other programs in the state, has been seriously stifled by the burgeoning pressure of ever-
expanding pension costs and seemingly insurmountable budget deficits. While this seems more like an economics lecture on the failure of Illinois budget policymakers, it still all ties back to Rumbelow and his quest for a new band building. Less funding for the state’s universities means that the University of Illinois must be even pickier in regards to what construction projects it pursues in the coming fiscal years. Every year, the University puts out a budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and in it they explain how the University’s funding is being spent and how it will benefit from these expenditures. In the section titled “Address Facility Operations Needs� of the Budget Book for the 2014 Fiscal Year, the University talks about the importance of keeping the University’s facilities up to date in hopes of attracting the best students and the best professors. One of the new buildings they include is a state-of-the-art crop sciences research facility. Not to say that this is not a necessary addition, but where is Rumbelow’s new band building? Well, it is nowhere to be found in the renovations section of the FY2014 Budget Book. Professors are obligated to their department heads and their students to follow the rules, but Rumbelow’s actions would have resulted in better facilities for the students and a better recruitment tool for the
department heads. Rumbelow was tasked with the impossible job of improving both the stock of instruments here at the University as well as renovating the band’s facilities with, assuming from his course of action, insufficient funds. What was he supposed to do? Start a different project, or just plainly ignore what he was hired to do? Both ways, he would not be doing what he was told to do. Take a child who asks his parents for a new yacht. There would be no way that the parents would give into the ridiculous request (unless their names are Bill and Melinda Gates), the reason being that the child is most likely too young for a boater’s license and a yacht is way too expensive for the parents to buy. This is why you don’t have children running up to their parents every day asking for yachts. It is because they know they are too expensive and the request will be immediately denied. Maybe Rumbelow looked at the fiscal situation he was facing and realized the same thing as the child did: It’s too expensive, so why even ask? If Rumbelow is true to his word, then his actions, however suspicious, can be justified in the sense that they would ultimately help both the University and its students.

must have been the only one in my group of friends that actually enjoyed being home this summer. I had a job I loved — selling the world’s WASPiest clothing — and a car and my golf clubs, and that was all I needed. (Well, that and Portillo’s. It’s been a week, and already I miss Portillo’s.) See, school and I hadn’t gotten along so well as of late. In August of last year, I quickly morphed into one of those kids my parents always warned me about — the ones who had been a little too tightly wound in high school but went a bit insane because, you know, college. My freshman year went a little something like this: I rushed, pledged and caught the nastiest case of mono in human history, dropped pledgeship, died a little inside, sleepwalked through the rest of the year. The ability to
go out whenever I pleased, to eat whatever I wanted, to be whomever I wanted to be — with essentially no repercussions — was too much to handle. Home — so unlike college — had rules. Home, even more unlike college, had structure, because my parents had implemented a set of unbreakable commonsense commandments, and I was forced to obey them. No 2 a.m. pizzas. No cigarettes. No gluttonous online shopping. (Ralph Lauren, if you read this, please delete my account as an act of fiduciary mercy.) No sneaking in and out of the house for late-night cruises. No sitting in bed all day and binge-watching “The Wire� or “The Sopranos,� as I did at least once a week at school. (My dad would swoop in and steal my laptop away if I even tried.) Instead of waking up at 10:50 for an 11 a.m. class and thinking, “Nah, sleep is better than learning,� before passing out again, I had to be fully dressed in a blazer, tie and absurdly bright trousers before work started at 9:30. I was responsible for cataloguing, dis-
playing and selling millions of dollars worth of merchandise, and for once I was up to the task. I was punctual and diligent and always accessible to my customers — a far cry from my days of constant unavailability. But now that I’m back on campus, all that personal responsibility and maturity has seemingly evaporated. I’m finding my renewed freedom utterly suffocating, especially without the everfilled social calendar I once had. I’m currently burdened with the sort of free time the perpetually unemployed writers at Espresso Royale would envy. A few days ago, I spent a good two hours figuring out the best way to hang my posters. And no longer are my friends just a few rooms away when boredom strikes. They’re spread out all over the greater Champaign-Urbana area — in apartments, in fraternity and sorority houses, in other dorms. It’s an inescapable reality of growing up that one’s friends will slowly drift away, geographically and metaphorically, but its mere inevitability doesn’t soften
the blow. I figure the question of how to fill my college days — its comparative inconsequence notwithstanding — is a microcosmic version of the dilemma we’re all supposed to face as our impending entry into the real world beckons. There’s an odd parallel between picking classes and picking jobs, just as choosing an apartment for junior year seems evocative of a future search for a family home. College, I’ve discovered (as I assume most of us have), is just life in miniature. Never mind how remarkably catty and insulated this campus can be. Our future corporate homes are going to be just as bad, if not more so. We’re still going to have bars to unwind at, teams to cheer on, exes to avoid and significant others to meet. The only difference? There’ll just be another seven billion people to live with.

a new effort to replace it, Sterrett said. In October, Panhellenic will host the 34th annual Emerging Leaders Conference, a seminar for chapter representatives who are interested in taking on leadership roles. Additionally, there are plans for the four Greek councils, which includes the United Greek Council and the Black Greek Council, to work together on the committee for Greek homecoming and the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event next spring.
But the councils are most looking forward to the addition of new members who value philanthropic efforts, sisterhood and brotherhood, and leadership in their community. “There really isn’t a goal, number-wise, for recruitment,� Altidis said. “We’re just excited to welcome as many women as possible who are interested in sorority life.�

Interfraternity Council increases enforcement of recruitment regulations BY AUSTIN KEATING AND HANNAH PROKOP ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR AND DAYTIME EDITOR
While apartments and houses across the University were celebrating the first and last free weekend of college, many fraternity houses stayed relatively silent this past weekend. Chris Mulreed, president of Pi Kppa Phi and senior in Engineering, said the reason for this stems from a policy set in place by the Interfraternity Council and has been in place for years, only now they are increasing enforcement. “In the past, houses were really loud all the time and having parties every weekend,� he said. “What they’ve done this year is a member of IFC comes by every house ... Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when you’re ... typically going to have parties — sometime between 10 and midnight — and they walk inside and make sure there’s nothing going on alcohol-wise.� The spirit of the policy isn’t to stop drinking altogether — its intent is to change the recruiting system, he said. “If there’s three guys in a room, drinking beer, watching TV, that’s not what they’re looking for,� Mulreed said. “They’re just trying to stop freshman, who haven’t really drank before, from coming unprepared to all these frat parties over
the weekend and getting absurdly drunk.� Mulreed said that in the past, the party scene drowned out the benefits of Greek life, such as the community service and philanthropic projects they contribute to. “It’s nice to see them finally really stepping up and having the courage to take alcohol out of recruitment,� he said. “This way, when freshmen are going around they’re not just joining the house where they see the hottest girls or the most alcohol, they’re really getting to know more about the houses.� Bill Sterrett, president of the Illinois IFC, said in an email the council created two new recruitment events: a barbecue in Washington Park and a fraternity open house event in an effort to promote the fraternity system. He also said the council is taking a proactive approach to enforcing the policy. “A number of Judicial Board hearings will be pursued in the coming weeks due to perceived violations of these bylaws,� Sterrett said. At this point, none of the violations have been proven, however, that may change as the judicial hearings move forward, he said. Austin and Hannah can be reached at news@ dailyillini.com.

Members of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority cheer as new recruits open their bid envelopes during Bid Day on Sept. 10. Bid Day took place on the Quad and ended over a week of formal sorority recruitment.
Should you join a sorority or fraternity on campus?

,
ntering college for the first time is an entirely new experience that can overwhelm some incoming freshmen. Once freshmen have moved into their dorms and met their roommates, a looming question hangs in the air for many: should they join a Greek organization? I always wanted to join a social sorority for the experience — I’ve always enjoyed being a part of something bigger than myself. But for others, it may not be such an easy decision. If you don’t personally know anyone who went through the process, choosing to go through recruitment can be a big decision to make on your own. With the University having the largest Greek community per capita in the nation and T-shirts, sidewalks and bulletin boards adorned with every Greek letter, our campus seems to revolve around the Greek culture. Now, as a member of a sorority, I’ve gained insight on the recruitment process. So, for students debating whether to join a Greek organization, here’s a breakdown of how it works:
To join...?
tor, or Greek counselor, walk the members of each group to each chapter house. From personal experience, I can honestly say the process was quite a shock. From the moment a potential new member walks into a house, she is bombarded by smiling faces and loud chants. Tessa McNulty, a junior in Media, recalls the first chapter she visited. She said she wasn’t really sure what to expect, but, by the third house, she understood the basic routine for each chapter during the first round of recruitment: get greeted at the door by an active member, make small talk for a few minutes, say goodbyes and then repeat the process at the next house. Despite the repetitive nature, McNulty said that finding which house suited her best was not as difficult as it seemed. “You know who you are and the people you’ll get along with, so just go with that,� McNulty said. As each day progresses, potential new members rank their top choices and submit them through a computer system. Likewise, members of each chapter do the same, in a process called mutual selection. On Bid Day, potential new members still participating in recruitment will receive an envelope with an invitation to join a chapter, where they will transition from potential new members to new members and begin the pledging process.
For women:
For men:
After registering for formal recruitment through the University’s Panhellenic Council (registration is still open, but ends midnight Thursday), students will receive a rush T-shirt and be placed in a rush group. From there, students will begin a five-day journey of visiting 19 sorority houses and making conversation with respective members. The Gamma Chis, which serve as a men-
Fraternity rush differs from sorority recruitment immensely, even though they share a common goal of receiving a bid to join a chapter. During the first few weeks of the semester, men have the opportunity to attend an unlimited amount of rush parties where they will get to know active members of each chapter they visit. Chris Glotzbach, junior in Business, said he had an older
brother in one fraternity on campus, Delta Tau Delta, so he said he was a little partial to begin with. However, looking back on his decision to join, he said the “Delts� are a good home for him. He said he believes that even if friends from home go into different houses, a potential new member just has to do what feels right. He also said it helped that “Delts have better location than other fraternities.�
...Or not to join? Although many students decide to pledge a social fraternity or sorority, joining is not for everyone. Melissa Shick, junior in LAS, said that she does not regret her decision not to join a sorority. “The best part about not rushing was not having to run around campus in a dress and heels. I am also not a big fan of small talk,� Shick said. Instead, Shick said she spends her time as a member of the women’s rowing team at the University. Between rowing practice and her service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, she manages to stay relatively busy and doesn’t believe she misses out on anything. There are a lot of ways to meet new people at the University without joining Greek organizations, but I do believe it provides a way for people with common interests to interact. Even though I didn’t end up in the same chapter as everyone in my recruitment group, many of us have still remained friends. Personally, I think it’s an experience any freshman should try, and if it doesn’t work out, then he or she always has other options. Either way, putting oneself out there leads to the possibility of making new friends, whether they’re sorority sisters, fraternity brothers or neither.

With the largest Greek community per capita in the country, the University’s Greek community is a popular option for students wanting to get involved, gain leadership experience and build close friendships. And in the first few weeks of the fall semester, Greek members are hard at work preparing to recruit those fresh faces. Nearly 22 percent of undergraduates are involved in one of the University’s more than 100 fraternities and sororities, and each potential member has to undergo the recruitment process. So what’s involved? The Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council (IFC) are gearing up for 2013 recruitment, with new additions, policy changes and philanthropy campaigns. One of the main differences to be found in this year’s Greek recruitment is the return of past University chapters. Phi Sigma Sigma, a sorority returning from a three-year hiatus, plans to rejoin the community this fall with a recruitment that mirrors Panhellenic’s formal recruitment, said Margarita Altidis, Panhellenic Council president and senior in LAS. While the chapter will be present during the Open House round, Phi Sigma Sigma’s recruitment will officially begin following the formal Bid Day. For IFC, three chapters are in the process of returning to campus, said Bill Sterrett, IFC President and senior in Engineering. Pi Lambda Phi was voted in as an associate member chapter of IFC last spring and will continue to recruit members this year with hopes to return to an official house next fall, Sterrett said. Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Theta are both recol-
The Council also introduced an Open House held from Tuesday to Thursday during which potential new members can meet with chapters grouped into three geographical regions, with one region scheduled for each night. Informal recruitment will then follow and varies from chapter to chapter; some chapters will have single days in which all bids are given out, while others offer them over the course of several weeks. “Generally, (informal rush) involves any number of events — from barbecues and cookouts to movie nights and a car bash — to meet new members and get to know them,� Sterrett said. “The nice part about informal rush is that it can happen year-round and encourages chapters to recruit all year.� For this year’s philanthropy, Panhellenic will continue its support of the Circle of Sisterhood, a service organization that aims to remove education barriers for girls and women. According to Altidis, the philanthropy was adopted to unite the chapters at the University with common fundraising and service goals. Following last year’s success of raising $6,000, Panhellenic will implement a new $10,000 goal this year as part of a 3-year $30,000 fundraising campaign to build a school in a place of need through the Circle of Sisterhood. The Panhellenic community’s philanthropy efforts are well on their way with the recent success of a Panhellenic pride T-shirt sale, a pre-recruitment week fundraising goal of $150 for each chapter and a donation fee for recruitment registration. “I think that would be the most amazing accomplishment — to have sent 15 members

onizing their chapters and are in the midst of petitioning to rejoin IFC as associate member chapters. Both chapters also plan to return to their original houses. Without a centralized house for recruitment, Beta Theta Pi’s process will be led by consultants from the national organization to assist with their more aggressive recruitment needs and thus will have different events, Sterrett said. Both the sorority and fraternity communities will also implement important changes in their recruitment process. Earlier this year, Panhellenic Council members voted to define the entertainment of the first invitational and its focus, said Elizabeth Dunne, Panhellenic vice president for public relations and junior in Media. Instead of performing a skit as has been done in years past, during this round, chapters will present “a video, slideshow, speaker or a combination of those options� to demonstrate sisterhood in accordance to the four pillars of Panhellenic: leadership, service, sisterhood and scholarship, Dunne said. “There wasn’t really a definition for it before, so we decided to make that the focus,� Altidis said. “During the second invitational, we have the philanthropy round and that was a change from last year, so we just wanted to define the first invitational a little bit more clearly this year.� In addition to IFC’s informal recruitment, the Council introduced two new events for this year’s process, as well as sent out an informational mailer to all freshmen this summer. The first IFC barbecue, which saw a large attendance, was held last Saturday afternoon in Washington Park for potential new members to meet all of the IFC chapters, Sterrett said.

The freshman midfielder kicked in the game-winning goal in Illinois’ first victory of the season, a 5-4 overtime win against Louisville. BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Studentathletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
T
he Illinois soccer team’s freshman class is playing a large role at the start of the 2013 season. Midfielder Meegan Johnston has made the biggest contribution, netting the game-winning goal just minutes into overtime to beat Louisville 5-4 on Sunday. The game was an offensive showcase for both teams that ended when senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo drew defenders, which gave Johnston space. DiBernardo then found her teammate a mere 25 yards away from the goal. Johnston broke away and slammed it
home for the lllini’s first win of the season. “We had really good possession prior to the goal,” Johnston said. “We were just knocking it around. It was really simple and easy, and then the seam just opened up for the shot and I took my chance.” With Illinois’ defense allowing eight goals in two games, the offense has had to carry the team. Young players like Johnston have had to learn quickly and were expected to contribute right away. “A lot of us freshmen, we were thrown into the preseason and it was kind of a surprise,” Johnston said. “But I think that in the little amount of time that we’ve been here so far, we’ve all improved so much.” To help that process, head coach Janet Rayfield wanted the freshmen to fi nd roles that play to their strengths. Against Louisville, Johnston took on a more forward position in hopes that the change would allow her to show off her fi nishing skills.

www.DailyIllini.com “I think the thing with someone like Meegan is she found herself in a comfortable place doing what she does really well,” Rayfield said. “And I think that’s what’s been the hard part for all of our freshmen, is to realize in this game that’s flying around, there’s going to be moments where (it’s time for them to do) what they do well.” Though tactical adjustments have helped Johnston contribute big plays almost immediately, she said teammates, like senior defender and team captain Kristen Gierman, have also helped her succeed at the collegiate level. Veterans and coaches are well-aware of Johnston’s physical gifts. They just want to put her in the best position to use them,

Recieving corps boasts experience Scheelhasse to have options among TEs, WRs this season STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
While the stigma around the Illinois football team is a group of young and inexperienced players, the pass catchers on offense hold a surprising amount of depth. With four senior wide receivers and three upperclassman tight ends, the Illini should have no shortage of options for dis-
tributing the ball in offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s up-tempo attack. Any advantage this offense can procure would be a welcome change — the unit ranked 119th out of 120 FBS teams in total offense and scoring offense in 2012, which led to a 2-10 disappointment of a season. Furthermore, the team’s leading receiver in catches was actually a running back, junior Donovonn Young, with 38. One of the changes that could stimulate the offense could be the inclusion of tight ends in the passing game. Last season, four different tight ends caught just 22 passes combined.
“There’s a game plan there to get those guys involved,” offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “But sometimes the defense plays a different coverage and we go a different way. Sometimes you want to get Lankford a play or get Spencer (Harris) a play, but ultimately it’s predicated on what the defense shows.” The depth chart at tight end is clustered at the top. The trio of Evan Wilson, Jon Davis and Matt LaCosse are all technically fi rst string, with the difference being “OR” on the depth chart. Cubit explained they are all in the plan to get snaps, each having different packages for
new personnel groupings. “It’s a matter of getting the most out of the personnel every play,” Cubit said. “You can’t have somebody running 85 reps, you just can’t do it. The college game is too hard. We’ve had it, but then guys are ineffective at times. What you want is guys to play 40 or 45 plays and play as hard as possible.” Outside the hashes, the Illini have a unique mix of experience and youth to substitute in and out. With seniors Ryan Lankford, Spencer Harris, Miles Osei and Steve Hull complementing younger play-

Fantasy Doctor: Make sure to nab these 3 sleepers in your draft J.J. WILSON Fantasy doctor
H
ow’s that “perfect” fantasy team doing? Are you comfortable with it? Did you nab that top running back you were eyeing? Maybe you haven’t even drafted yet, like me. But even if you’re still living with that pre-draft sensation of this-year-will-be-betterthan-last-year, we fantasy owners have come to assume one thing. We don’t like surprises. That’s not to say good things don’t happen — because something has to go right eventually, right? (we plead). More times than not, though, we’re caught
with busts in our lineup, buckets of bench points or explosions from players we either traded or dumped to the wire. Surprises can also plague your team in the form of injuries. Frank Gore in 2010 anyone? Beanie Wells in 2011? Yep, I’ve been there, and we can all agree it’s no fun watching your playoff dreams spill down the drain as you cry in the shower. But what if you had a chance to control those surprises? In the upcoming season, most of the studs are put up on their respective pedestals. Arian Foster, Calvin Johnson, Aaron Rodgers, Wes Welker — we know who they are. What we don’t always remember are those sleepers, hiding below the glamor of ESPN coverage. Players like Matthew Stafford, who led a 4-12 Lions squad,
ranked 11th in quarterback points with 264 last season in ESPN leagues. He also ranked second behind Drew Brees in total yardage at 4,967 and led the league in number of completions. Sounds like winning numbers to me. As your fantasy doctor, my job is to help you win, and the best way I can do that is to give you my list of this season’s top-three sleepers:
Tony Romo (quarterback, Cowboys, 271 points in 2012 ESPN leagues) An 8-8 finish short of the playoffs isn’t impressive. Every time you turn around, livid mobs of Cowboy fans are causing an uproar about how terrible owner Jerry Jones or Tony Romo is to the team.
But whether you believe Romo is or isn’t going to lead the Cowboys back to their 1992-95 days of Super Bowl glory isn’t the point. We know it’s a numbers game, and the numbers say Romo was second in completions behind Stafford with 425 completions. His passing game of 4,903 yards also tops Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers. Now, his 28 touchdown passes are much fewer than Brees’ 43, but it still sits him at sixth in the league. And with a healthy Dez Bryant on his side and a schedule of weak defenses like Kansas City and Philadelphia, can you really deny his potential?
Danny Woodhead (running back, Chargers, 102 points)
Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead may still be competing for that starting job, but I’ve found that the evidence is pointing toward one thing: Mathews is not a top fantasy running back. In New England last year, Woodhead proved to be a versatile weapon with 301 yards rushing and four touchdowns paired with 446 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Sure, it may not sound too impressive, but keep in mind he racked up those points behind Stevan Ridley — ranked No. 9 in points last year. On the other hand, Mathews was injured for a good portion of last season, and it hurt fantasy owners everywhere until he went off for 80 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries in Week 5. It went on to be the only week all season he scored more than eight points, which is unaccept-
able. Compared to Woodhead, he may have recorded an extra 400plus yards, but with more than two times as many carries — as a starter. I’m not saying take Woodhead with the expectation of him becoming the next Arian Foster, but keep an eye on him. Should the Chargers choose to start him (knowing well that Philip Rivers has a good chance of ruining the pass game), he has the potential to be a golden pickup.
Randall Cobb (wide receiver, Packers, 150 points) If there is one thing I can’t stand as a Bears fan, it’s that Aaron Rodgers always seems to have a strong passing game. It’s also something I can’t avoid

Strizak may redshirt season despite breakout performance BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
It didn’t take long for Illinois freshman outside hitter Michelle Strizak to make her presence known on the volleyball court. Strizak outshined nearly everybody in the annual alumni match this past Saturday, to the tune of 10 kills on 14 attempts for an astounding .714 hitting percentage in her Huff Hall debut. The current squad beat the alumnae 3-0. “I was a little nervous (in the game),” Strizak said. “But I felt really comfortable with our team and when we got in a groove it felt great, and I felt really good.” But with preseason all-Big Ten outside hitters Liz McMahon and Jocelynn Birks expected to occupy the hitter spots and junior Morganne Criswell and sophomore Ali Stark also listed as outside hitters, Strizak may have to spend time in a new role this season as a redshirt, meaning she may have to sit out the season to maintain four-year eligibility. “I’ll do whatever (head coach Kevin Hambly) tells me to,” Strizak said of redshirting. She also said her transition from a starting player to a role on the bench is familiar, as she experienced something similar at the 2012 High Performance Championships with the USA women’s junior national training team. “I did the USA program so that I would know what that feels like, to just be a teammate,” Strizak said. “So I’m still getting used to it, but it’s not that uncomfortable to me.” Strizak is at the forefront of a solid five-player recruiting class. Starting all four years at Mount Notre Dame High

IIllini Michelle Strizak serves the ball at their first game against a team of alumnae at Huff Hall on Aug. 24. School in Cincinnati, she was ranked No. 22 nationally on the PrepVolleyball.com “Top 100 Senior Aces” list and was the Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year in 2012. In her 97-match high school career, she accumulated 1,288 kills, 882 digs, 165 blocks, 161 aces and 26 assists. She averaged 4.78 kills, 3.43 digs, 0.63 aces and 0.50 blocks per set in her last three seasons.
Hambly did not say what his plans for Strizak were at the moment. “We’re trying to acclimate all of our freshmen,” Hambly said. “Michelle is a really talented player that I think is going to have a really great career. ... She is a candidate to redshirt just because I think she’s going to be a lot better five years from now than she is this year, but
she might be able to help us this year. We’re still trying to figure that out.” The Illini will open the regular season in Long Beach, Calif., on Friday as they face Florida State, Long Beach State and Kentucky in the Long Beach State Mizuno Invitational.

IOTW like against Louisville. “I think Meegan has a really quick step,” Gierman said. “So she can make a move and get around players, and I think that she does a good job being elusive by little tricks on the ball that not everyone has up their sleeve.” Johnston totaled a goal and an assist with four shots over the opening weekend against Notre Dame and Louisville. It is not unprecedented for young offensive players to step up for the Illini. Sophomore forward Nicole Breece tallied four goals and three assists last season in her freshman campaign. Johnston said playing in a program that uses younger players gives her confidence.

iguel Cabrera isn’t the hottest player in baseball. That title belongs to Javier
Baez. The name Baez probably doesn’t ring a bell, but bear with me. The shortstop is batting .333 with four home runs and 10 RBIs in his past 10 games for, well, the Tennessee Smokies of the Double-A Southern League. OK, he’s in the minor leagues, but the dude’s tearing it up. So much so that the Smokies parent team — the Chicago Cubs — might consider calling him up when the rosters expand in September. Baez has raised his batting average from .274 at Single-A Daytona to .308 at Double-A Ten-
nessee, despite stiffer competition. His power has also seen a surge as he’s mashed 18 home runs and driven in 48 RBIs in 48 games since being promoted in July, while he hit only 17 home runs in 76 Single-A games. Combined, the 2011 first-round pick has 35 home runs and 105 RBIs with a .287 batting average in 124 games this season. MVP candidates Cabrera and Chris Davis are the only major leaguers that boast those numbers. Baez has done all of this at the age of 20, and that’s exactly why the Cubs shouldn’t rush him to the majors. He’s just too young. I understand players such as Mike Trout and Bryce Harper have thrived at the same age at the major league level, but Baez is still showing signs of a young player. Baez continues to show poor discipline, as he’s walked just 38 times over the year to go along with 138 strikeouts, proving he needs to change his approach
at the plate. His walk rate has improved in Double-A, but his strikeout rate has also shot up. Baez’s biggest weakness is with his glove, as he’s committed more than 40 errors this season. That kind of defense is unacceptable. Having a first baseman the caliber of Anthony Rizzo might prevent some of those errors in the future, but a position change may be in store for the shortstop. The Cubs’ current shortstop, Starlin Castro, is a lesson to Chicago’s front office of what can happen when a player is rushed to the majors. I know it sounds crazy saying Castro was brought up too early when he batted .300 as a 20-year-old in 2010, but he still hasn’t grown out of the poor habits he developed during his minor league days. Like Baez, Castro swings at almost every pitch he sees. His walks per plate appearance of .039 is the seventh lowest in all of base-
ball. He has also already struck out a career-high 109 times with over a month left in the season. Baez and Castro share the same defensive shortcomings, as the Cubs shortstop has committed at least 27 errors three of the past four seasons. Once thought of as the face of the franchise, Castro is now sporting a .238 batting average and has the Cubs wondering if the seven-year, $60-million guaranteed contract they gave him last summer was a mistake. Winning takes patience. The fan base will continue to urge for Theo Epstein and Co. to have a win-now approach, but the Cubs front office needs to continue to be patient. The same mistakes that were made with one-time heralded prospects such as Corey Patterson, Felix Pie and Castro can’t be made with Baez. He’s just too special.

ers like Devin Church, Martize Barr and Justin Hardee, the Illini will have a lot of options to make plays. “(Having seniors) has eased everything for me,” said Barr, who is in his first season with Illinois after transferring from Iowa Western. “They help me with practice habits. I can just sit back and watch them run routes. They’ve played here for four years and I just got here, so I just learn everything from them.” Cubit has been known to produce high-caliber wide receivers. At Western Michigan, he featured All-American Jordan White, who caught 306 passes for 4,187 yards in his career as a Bronco. Illinois fans will remember having a star of their own with A.J. Jenkins in 2011, when he caught 90 passes for 1,276 yards. Although there’s no White or Jenkins in the group, the Illini skill players will have to move the ball more consistently than in 2012 to be successful.
when looking at who I want downfield for my fantasy team. Greg Jennings’ departure was a tough one for the Packers (not that I minded). Now, in the Nos. 1 and 2 slots are recurring Lambeau leaper Jordy Nelson and third-year Randall Cobb, with Jermichael Finley at tight end. Sure, Nelson and Finley are going to get their share, but Rodgers is an ace for variation. He loves having options. Not to mention Cobb has done nothing but work with Rodgers as his quarterback since he entered the NFL. Now he finally has a chance to step up and make his name as an all-star receiver. Last season, Cobbs caught for 954 yards, good for 22nd in the league. He also had eight touchdown catches and a solid 80 receptions. While you can count on him sharing the fun with Nelson, Finley and James Jones, don’t be surprised if you see this guy emerge as Rodgers’ go-to receiver for the 2013 season.

“I think that just shows that anybody out here, any of us freshmen, have the chance to impact the game in any way possible.” If the first two games are any indication, Johnston will be given opportunities to continue her fast start. The Illinois offense is clicking, and Rayfield has no problem putting in young players right away, despite the adjustment period that comes with being a freshman college athlete. With her attacking instincts and physical skills, Johnston is poised for a solid freshman campaign. “She obviously has the ability to compete at this level, and she just is exciting,” Gierman said. “And I think she works hard and is going to be a big piece for us.”

After he finishes up the postseason in Tennessee — which clinched a playoff berth on Monday — Baez should begin next season at a higher level, just not the major leagues. Instead, the Cubs should give Baez a chance at Triple-A Iowa and consider easing him into another position. Even Trout played 20 games at the Triple-A level before reaching the majors in his MVP-worthy 2012 season. The Angels promoted Trout to the majors for the first time the season prior when he was 20, and he struggled mightily with a .220 batting average in 40 games. When Baez finally shows he’s ready for “The Show”, it will be worth the wait for the Cubs. Until that day comes, minor league pitchers will just have to continue to suffer.

Standing in the locker room, fully padded and wearing a red jersey signifying that “no contact” should be made with him, he still gets ready to take the ice at practice to work on his game and to help the young team around him. “I think we got a lot of good talent this year,” Bostock said. “I don’t even think I’ll be missed much ... at least I hope I’m not!”

Chicago Bears defense on top of its game and primed as usual BY BRAD BIGGS CHICAGO TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — If you are looking for the Bears defense to pick up where it left off from a year ago, start with takeaways. Coordinator Mel Tucker’s defense is tops in the NFL through three exhibition games with 12, seven interceptions by seven players and five fumble recoveries. It’s a sign, if nothing else, that the message former coach Lovie Smith and coordinator Rod Marinelli constantly repeated about rallying to the ball still is being well delivered. The Bears throttled the hapless Raiders on Friday night in Oakland, vaulting to a 27-3 halftime lead before the starters were pulled and elusive Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor did some damage against the reserves.
It’s not about results but steps in the process of preparing for the Sept. 8 opener against the Bengals at Soldier Field. The defense has been primed for the start of the season in recent years. The Bears have yielded an average of 13 points in the season opener over the last eight years. That includes a shutout of Brett Favre and the Packers at Lambeau Field, holding Peyton Manning and the Colts to 13 points at Lucas Oil Stadium and limiting Matt Ryan and the high-powered Falcons to 12 points two years ago at Soldier Field. With most or all of the starters scheduled to rest Thursday against the Browns in the final exhibition, Tucker has put plenty on film for the Bengals and other opponents to consider. There have been blitzes from all
angles, and it looks like the veteran defense is ready to go, even with rookie Jon Bostic likely to start at middle linebacker. Cornerback Charles Tillman blindsided Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn for a sack on Friday. It was a rare sight. Tillman has only three career sacks and just one in the last seven seasons. The defense did not have a sack by a defensive back last season and had only three in the last three seasons. “The guy didn’t see me and I got lucky,” Tillman said. “It was fun. I would have to work on it (to do it more). It’s the preseason, man.” Tucker isn’t introducing anything new here. But he certainly has more ability to be creative than he did a year ago in Jacksonville. With a high level of trust in Tillman and fellow cornerback
Tim Jennings, he might be confident running more man pressures. The Bears’ most common blitz under Marinelli the last couple of seasons was a five-man zone pressure in both the base and nickel packages. For Tucker, the preseason has been an exercise in finding out what works best and then showing enough variety to keep opponents guessing. You can’t hide everything in practice and expect it all to work when the real action begins. “Everyone has the same blitzes in the league, pretty much,” Tucker said. “There’s nothing new under the sun. We call them, we run them. We work to execute them, and if you’ve got good players doing them, then hopefully you’ll have success. That’s where we’re at with the blitzes.”

Ohio State’s Miller looks to build off last season’s success BY JOE CHRISTENSEN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — The Big Ten’s reigning offensive player of the year couldn’t stop yawning. Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller wasn’t trying to be rude. The questions focused on his Heisman Trophy candidacy and Ohio State’s national championship aspirations, and he gave some thoughtful answers. But the multitalented junior yawned as if this whole late-July morning was going in slow motion. “I’m hungry,” Miller said, smiling. “I missed breakfast.” For all the hype being bestowed on Ohio State after last year’s 12-0, bowl-ineligible season, the Buckeyes’ highly decorated leader doesn’t seem overly amped. That’s not his style. “I think Braxton’s best quality is his humility,” Buckeyes offensive tackle Jack Mewhort said. “He doesn’t let things go to his head. He was brought up the right way. ... He doesn’t have that superstar mentality.” Maybe that’s because Miller knows that for all his success, he still has a long way to go. He set an Ohio State record for total offense last year, with 2,039 yards passing and 1,271 rushing. But Miller also completed only 58.3 percent of his passes. Last month, when NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his list of top 50 NFL prospects, Miller ranked 12th among college quarterbacks. The quarterbacks atop that list were Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater, UCLA’s Brett Hundley, Clemson’s Tajh Boyd, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel and Alabama’s AJ McCarron. There were six more ahead of Miller, who finished fifth in the Heisman voting last year. The reasoning: Miller, for now, lacks the necessary downfield accuracy. Miller pushed himself to improve over the offseason. Without a bowl game for which to prepare, he spent Christmas break in San Diego, getting specialized instruction from George Whitfield

QB for PSU kept secret 2·%ULHQ ZLOO UHYHDO VWDUWHU RQ 1LWWDQ\ /LRQV· VW JDPH GD\ BY JOE JULIANO MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHRIS RUSSELL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller (5) gets by Michigan Wolverines defensive end Frank Clark (57) for a gain in the first half at Ohio Stadium on November 24, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Michigan Wolverines 26-21. Jr., who has tutored such quarterbacks as Manziel, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck. “My fundamentals got a lot better,” Miller said. CHALLENGES AHEAD The rest of Ohio State’s offense struggled early last season, and coach Urban Meyer wondered aloud where his team would have been without Miller. Eventually, running back Carlos Hyde, wide receiver Corey Brown and others picked up their performance. All the returnees should be more comfortable this year, in their second season under Meyer. His second-year success at previous schools speaks for itself, 9-3 at Bowling Green, 12-0 at Utah,
13-1 at Florida. With Buckeyes fans clamoring for their first national title since 2002, Ohio State went back in the news for the wrong reasons in July, as Hyde (three games) and standout cornerback Bradley Roby (one game) were both suspended from the team for incidents at bars. Are the Buckeyes focused enough for the challenges that lie ahead? The biggest nonconference hurdles will be games against San Diego State and at California. Wisconsin comes to Columbus for the Big Ten opener Sept. 28, a game that could end up determining the Leaders Division title. Another test comes Oct. 5 at
Northwestern, and Ohio State closes the regular season at Michigan on Nov. 30. Of course, there’s a chance Ohio State and Michigan could meet again one week later in Indianapolis in the Big Ten Championship Game. Miller said all that talk is nice, but for now, the team doesn’t want to look past Saturday’s opener against Buffalo. Meyer has been in the quarterback’s ear, keeping him focused on the process, not results. “He knows what it takes, how prepared you have to be to be on the next level,” Miller said. “He always tells me I’m almost there. I’m close, but he tells me the little things that I have to work on to get myself to that point.”
After initially saying that he would name Penn State’s starting quarterback about two weeks into training camp, coach Bill O’Brien kept pushing the date back, and back, and back again. On Tuesday, he gave the date one final push. He can’t go back any further. “You’ll find out who the quarterback is on our first offensive play of the game against Syracuse,” O’Brien said at his first teleconference of the season, referring to Saturday’s opener at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. So now it’s a closely guarded secret as to whether sophomore Tyler Ferguson, a junior college transfer, or highly regarded freshman Christian Hackenberg will get the job. O’Brien won’t even let on whether either of the candidates knows, or the rest of his coaching staff, or if he has indeed made a decision. Still, O’Brien said he understands that the Penn State fans want to know who their starter will be. “The game of football, in many ways, it’s obviously for the players and the coaches,” he said. “But it’s for the fans. It’s a spectator sport. And I get that, and I love the Penn State fans. “So I’m not trying to do it to bust anybody’s chops. I want to do what’s best for the football team right now, the 2013 football team, and I want to do what’s best for the guys involved, and I want to do what’s best for Penn State. And what’s best for Penn State right now is for you to find out when we take the field for the first snap of offensive football against Syracuse.” O’Brien said the ages of the
contestants — the 19-year-old Ferguson and the 18-year-old Hackenberg — also has something to do with his course of action. “That’s part of it,” he said. “Christian just got here a month ago, a little bit more than that. Tyler was here in January. Last year you had a seasoned guy (Matt McGloin) who had been through a lot here at Penn State, he was going into his fifth year. It was a totally different story last year. “Again, it’s more about what’s best for the team. The team understands the direction that we’re headed within the (football) building there at Lasch, and they know where we’re going. So that’s what’s important.” Maybe O’Brien got the idea from Syracuse coach Scott Shafer, who said last week he would not disclose the name of his starter, who would replace record-setting quarterback Ryan Nassib (Malvern Prep). The two candidates there are senior Drew Allen, a transfer from Oklahoma, and sophomore Terrel Hunt. O’Brien said that no matter who gets the start on Saturday, both quarterbacks must be ready to play — given that neither player has been on the field for a single down as a Nittany Lion. He added that the quarterback competition would continue beyond the Syracuse game. O’Brien also didn’t tip his hand by naming a starter at two other positions that are running dead even — offensive right tackle (Adam Gress and Garry Gilliam) and safety (Ryan Keiser and Malcolm Willis). But each contender at those two spots will play a lot of football, he said.
Video board could end Wrigley Field ‘ballhawk’ tradition As Cubs upgrade to jumbo video board, integral part of America’s pastime faces possible extinction BY PAUL SULLIVAN CHICAGO TRIBUNE
CHICAGO — When the Cubs finally welcome 20th century technology and erect a jumbo video board behind the leftfield bleachers, the small band of North Side characters known as the ballhawks say they will quickly disperse. It may happen as soon as 2014, or it may take a couple of years if the process of choosing a company, constructing the board and hiring a crew to run it proves too difficult for the Cubs, who want to end their squabble with rooftop owners before proceeding with their $300 million ballpark renovation plan. But one thing is certain: Video killed the radio star, and its next victim will be the ballhawks. The Wrigley Field ballhawks are part of the ballpark’s history, though only a few old-timers still come out. They mostly hang around the corner of Waveland and Kenmore Avenues, outside the left-field wall, waiting for right-handed hitters to clear the fence. Sometimes they shuffle over to Sheffield Ave-
nue when a left-handed hitter with pop is up, but the majority of the action is in left, where the new video board eventually will exist. The ballhawks have had more than their fair share of publicity over the years, mostly because of the curiosity factor involved in their unique hobby. Why would anyone with a life — or half a brain — willingly spend hours standing on a Chicago street for the remote chance a baseball will sail over the wall and into an area you can snatch it? They say it’s for the camaraderie, the hunt and the thrill of victory when you outmaneuver the others and wind up with the ball in hand. Of course, there also is the chance they’re just nuts, a theory none of those polled denied. No one knows precisely how many balls will end up on Waveland Avenue with the new video board, which will be 4,500 square feet instead of 6,000, after a slight compromise by the Cubs. Renderings of the location of the video board suggest its installation won’t completely eliminate balls landing on Waveland. But the thrill of the chase would be over
since only balls pulled straight down the line or the rare monster shots to left-center would escape the Friendly Confines. Of course, balls could always hit the video board on the fly and drop down, creating a different kind of scramble. But the ballhawks say they already have seen many fewer balls fly out of Wrigley over the last decade. Irrespective of performance enhancing drugs, the Cubs don’t have any Sammy Sosas or Glenallen Hills on the roster. At least the ballhawks can take comfort knowing their 15 minutes of fame lasted about four decades. A documentary called “Ballhawks,” narrated by Bill Murray, had a screening a few years ago at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. The end of the ballhawks also will mean the end of ballhawks. net, a blog written by Dave Davison that keeps tracks of the number of balls hit onto Waveland and Sheffield. It also includes tidbits like this, about an Anthony Rizzo home run on Aug. 1: “Rizzo
OB 7LR 3M 2L 2EB !E>IIBKDB 1HZ <RUN 7LPHV &URVVZRUG 3X]]OH (YHU\ GD\ LQ 7KH 'DLO\ ,OOLQL
deposited the only ball onto Sheffield, via the bounce out, going straight up the steps of a rooftop building, through the open doorway and into the hands of the doorman.” Davison, a 45-year-old ballhawk who said he began his hobby at 8, doesn’t believe the Cubs’ claim that they need the revenue generated by the video board to win a championship. “The idea the Cubs need a Jumbotron to be competitive is pure nonsense,” Davison said. “They won 97 games (in 2008) without one. It’s just to put extra money in their pockets. Forbes reported they are the most profitable team in baseball, and they’re going to make even more money next year with the national TV contract and when the WGN (TV) contract expires (after 2014). No one asked for one, but they claim everyone wants it.” Like any species on the verge of extinction, the ballhawks will try to find a way to adapt to their new environment. They can continue to buy tickets and stand in the back of the bleachers with their gloves on, as they often do.
