Run the Jewels, Purity Ring light up Pygmalion stage BY LILLIAN BARKLEY STAFF WRITER

When two festival headliners performed in succession, The Highdive was lit up in two very different ways. Guests at the 11th annual Pygmalion Festival were treated with a talent-stacked lineup Saturday at the venue. Run the Jewels and Purity Ring, the top-billed performers, played from 8:20 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and delivered an odd mix of artistry. The sky was overcast, but Purity Ring created a space-age, magical sky on stage. One-hundred twenty-eight strands of color-changing lights hung down, framing an elevated DJ stand decorated with seven crystals and what appeared to be a moon suspended from the ceiling. But the “moon” was a giant drum that lit up when hit, and the crystals also lit up in different colors when played like a xylophone. The atmosphere was calm during the first few songs of the set, with slow light effects that shifted from rose gold to a mixture of purple and orange reminiscent of a sunset. The crowd swayed and bobbed with lead vocalist Megan James’ lilting voice and was seemingly hypnotized by her relaxed movements. James meandered around the stage, weaving between the strands of lights. When she stood on wooden platforms near the front of the stage, her hair blew in the wind, creating an ethereal image backed by hazy lights. The otherworldly effect remained even when she took a break to address the crowd 20 minutes into the set. She told a story about her memories of their last tour stop in Champaign — sneaking into an orchard and eat-

Later, she gasped and pointed out the moon, which was shining through a break in the clouds, and told the audience to look at how beautiful it was. Not every song in the set was as relaxed, however. During higher-tempo songs, the audience jumped around and threw their arms up, matching a thrumming bass and erratic light effects. By the time Purity Ring left the stage, the crowd had reached the metal barriers at the back of the

outdoor venue. While Purity Ring’s electronic style was highlighted with the addition of technical effects, Run the Jewels’ set had two microphone stands, raised turntables and alternating colored spotlights. Their sound only needed one major set piece: the audience. From the second the acclaimed rap duo of El-P and Killer Mike strutted onstage to Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” the crowd

rushed the stage and crushed themselves against the metal guardrails. They screamed along to the pair’s energy-filled lyrics, throwing up the band’s sign — a right hand forming a gun and pointing to a left fist. In response, Killer Mike looked across the crowd and said, “Let’s burn this motherf-----down.” If Run the Jewels’ incendiary lyrics didn’t work, the crowd’s excitement would. Security flanked the front of the audience

Soup Kitchen fundraises for new location Daily Bread Soup Kitchen hopes to raise $300,000 BY DANIEL CORRY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Daily Bread Soup Kitchen is raising money for a new location to help those that need their services. After the St. Jude’s Catholic Worker House soup kitchen closed in 2009, many volunteers of the house stayed

committed to feeding the hungry in ChampaignUrbana and came together to create the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, according to the kitchen’s website. The soup kitchen owners recently purchased what was formerly the Emerald City Lounge, 118 N. First

St., and hope to fundraise $300,000 to remove the bar, reconfigure the bathrooms and buy all new equipment. Right now they are renting equipment from the New Covenant Fellowship, where the kitchen is currently located at 124 W. White St. There they have evolved from handing out 30 sack lunches from New Covenant to serving an average of 200 guests a day with a soup, salad, hot entrée and des-

as it surged forward and attempted to knock over the guardrails, while others crowdsurfed in the back. It was difficult to believe that this was in any way the same crowd who had calmly swayed along to Purity Ring just an hour before. The rappers were appreciative, encouraging the audience and laughing happily at the crowd’s

sert, according to the website. Last year, the kitchen served over 153,000 meals to their guests. Karen Pickard, a Tuesday volunteer at the kitchen, said Daily Bread is asking people for donations, and are talking about their fundraising efforts on their Facebook page and website. “We’re getting the word out, and hoping that the

Nearly two years after physics professor George Gollin’s unsuccessful campaign for democratic congressional candidate, three University professors became the subject of an ethics investigation by the Illinois Executive Commission. Leon Dash, journalism professor, Nancy Blake, literature professor and Laura Greene, physics professor, were found in violation of the Ethics Act which led to the investigation. “Any violation of the Ethics Act’s prohibition on use of State property or time for political purposes is serious enough to warrant inquiry,” said Daniel Hurtado, chief of staff and general counsel of the office of executive inspector general. Dash said he was considered to be in violation of the act because of a onesentence email reply to Gollin, sent to his University account, in which Gollin asked Dash to introduce him as a candidate at a local Democratic Party meeting. “I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican,” he said. “But I became wrapped up in an ethics violation after responding to a request from a colleague with whom I am friendly.”

Dash said he realized in hindsight he was in violation of the Illinois ethics regulations because it was connected to partisan political activity and not a part of state or University activities. In a public statement to the Office of the Executive Inspector General, Laura Greene said she did not intentionally violate the act, and therefore, the law does not apply to her situation. “It is abundantly clear that an unintentional and inadvertent use of a State email account for a political purpose is not a misappropriation of State property.” Greene stated. Additionally, she said she felt the findings ignored both the facts and the law. “I have been a long-time zealous advocate for the University of Illinois, as well as a tireless and ethical professor of physics,” Greene said. “A couple of email exchanges that inadvertently took place on my University email account and that were not even initiated by me simply do not justify the conclusions in the report.” Dash said he met with two investigators from the Springfield Ethic Commission office in May 2014. “One of the investigators had called me to set a

Female critic making waves

NEWS BRIEFS DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTS

BY SHALAYNE PULIA EBERT FELLOW

Editor’s note: The following article was written for an Ebert Fellowship in memory of the late Roger Ebert. The fellowship works with the forthcoming Roger Ebert Center at the College of Media. Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips advises the Ebert fellows. With a button fastened to her denim jacket reading “Don’t Give Up,” Jessica Hopper refuses to stay quiet. The Pitchfork Review Editor-in-Chief mutes only those who tell her she can’t, like the publishers who said her recently released book, “The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic”, would fail because it had no precedent. She’s a critic; by definition, she has a distinct voice, but she said it’s the “golden age” of cultural critique. She wants to be part of a chorus of women sharing their ideas on stage. Her work speaks the language of culture, framed by curated music flooding through her readers’ headphones. It’s an image that makes her recollection of tour chaos traveling in the back of a van from Nashville with the band “Austra” the last time she sped to C-U more believable. On Friday, Hopper sat on the Pygmalion tech panel about “The Separation of Editorial and Advertising in Media” that, at best, vaguely pertained to her work. Illinois Public Media’s Lisa Bralts-Kelly sat next to her facing a similar dilemma, fielding questions from moderator Sarah Buhr of TechCrunch. Hopper said the topic could have been more effective in a one-on-one between Buhr and Tommy Craggs, another panelist, considering the controversy of advertising boundaries and his recent departure from Gawker.

The stage is set for Jessica Hopper’s lit reading of her book “The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic” at Exile on Main Street for Pygmalion Saturday. While Craggs and Buhr spoke for most of the hour, Hopper sat on the panel, a knowing smirk spreading her lips as she watched the crowd thin in female representation right from the beginning. “It was like the Internet represented in real-time where it was just a man talking,” Hopper said. Audience member Maddie Rehayem, senior in Media and writer for Smile Politely, asked how editors would respond to a freelancer working on advertorials at the same time as straight editorial content. Hopper emphasized fulldisclosure in advertorial work. “Criticism is not a store and we are not salespeople,” Hopper said. Her writing is a catalyst for conversation aimed at helping 20-something readers make sense of music’s relation to their world, the same way reading print articles helped her form a critical conscience when she started her career at 15 with her own fanzine courtesy of her local Kinko’s. Hopper walked outside Krannert after Friday’s

panel with two excited women flanking her right side. They spoke about their band inspired by her work, a C-U all-female punk rock group named “La Louve.” Hopper asked them which shows to see that night and wishing them best of luck with trailblazing all-female punk. On Saturday, Hopper read excerpts from her new book at Exile on Main Street. “It did give me a new passion, a passion for music that was already there, but it helped me put it into words and figure out what I wanted to do with it,” said Christine Pallon, part of “La Louve” and Buzz Magazine music editor. Hopper’s work resonates with readers like Rehayem who appreciate her dedication to issues like gender inequality with an intrinsic authority and boldness. “Without criticism sometimes there’s not a filter, and then we’re just sort of consuming,” Hopper said. “Good criticism honors the work that it looks at, that it challenges. In your loftiest dream of dreams,

the conversations that you can sometimes start can have much grander wave effects.” Hopper’s work carries her readers through analysis punctuated by a dry sense of humor. “She really knows how to capture exactly what’s in your mind,” said Isabel Skidmore, the second member of “La Louve.” Her audience at Exile nodded along even when she read from “Nevermind already” a review slamming Nirvana, one of the most revered rock bands of all time: “All the Nirvana boxes and anniversary editions prey upon a simple wish— the wish to relive the singular moment of revelation, the feeling of being possessed for the first time by ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit,’ its pure abandon, its stuttering pound, the implacable tension between verse and chorus, the feral grain of Cobain’s voice. That wish is there in anyone who ever heard Nirvana and loved them. But you never get as high as the first time.”

UI receives $4.7 million grant BY LILLY MASHAYEK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Researchers in the University’s department of agricultural and biological engineering will use a recently awarded grant to better nutritional security around the world by researching agricultural practices. The University has been chosen as the lead institution of the Appropriate Scale Mechanization Consortium for the Feed the Future Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab, or SIIL, and received a $4.7 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The grant will be funded over four years and used to improve the food and nutritional security of farmers. It will focus on improving tools used by women on these farms and sustainable means of farming through agricultural mechanization. K.C.

Pickard said the kitchen does more than just feed its visitors. “We help them out in getting a bus pass, getting a state ID and a copy of their birth certificate,” Pickard said. “These are documents that people need so they can go out and look for a job.” The kitchen will not be out of service while the renovations are being made, Pickard said.

Ting submitted the note along with colleagues from Michigan State University, Kansas State University and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University “We were looking for the collaborative nature of various partners involved,” said Vara Prasad, director The duo showed off their well-documented political side — the two said in a BBC interview that “riots work,” and Killer Mike gave a pro-protest speech at a St. Louis concert after the Grand Jury decision. Throughout the rest of the show, the audience’s energy didn’t fade, and when the act left the stage, the crowd chanted “RTJ” until the rappers performed an encore. Cheers and “RTJ” rang throughout the venue after the stage was empty and the final note had played.

The kitchen serves meals at the building location five days a week and serves sack lunches out of their two vans on the weekends, according to the website.

of SIIL at Kansas State University and director of the project. “The type of innovations that Illinois proposed were very valuable, they had good team value, and they took into consideration which countries to work in.” The project will focus on six countries: Burkina Faso, Senegal, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Cambodia. “We would like to see in the next four years that the team will develop mechanization tools, which are directly valuable and used by small local farmers in local countries,” Prasad said. “These tools need to be built in the host country, so that they can be manufactured and built there so that they are sustainable.” The project will also aim to establish innovation hubs in four of the six countries, which will help the sustainability of the project. “U of I identified entry point organizations in each

country which involved local universities and (nongovernmental organizations),” Prasad said. Some students from those host countries may be able to come to the University to receive training on how to sustain the work once the project is over. Ting said that this project could lead to a collaboration between University students and students from the host countries in classes and labs at the University, or even abroad in the host countries. Other University faculty involved in the project include Prasanta Kalita, professor in ABE and director of ADMI, and Alex Winter-Nelson, a professor in ACES and director of the ACES office of international programs. “We are at the perfect position to really make an impact,” Hansen said.

Robin Kaler, University spokeswoman, said the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act and University policy do not allow the use of University resources for prohibited political activity, and the University takes violations of state law and University policy very seriously. “The entire experience has definitely put a chill on any future political activity I might have engaged in,” Dash said.

ACES establishes Robert A. Easter Chair role for faculty The legacy of President Emeritus Robert Easter will now be honored through a new faculty role called the Robert A. Easter Chair of the College of ACES. The new position will be permanently funded by the Robert A. Easter Endowed Fund, which has raised over $2 million dollars, said Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson in a statement. Easter served as the University president from 2012 to 2015. Prior to serving as president, Easter held roles as the Urbana campus’ interim provost and chancellor, ACES dean, animal sciences department head and professor.

“Bob Easter has spent his entire career working to make this university a better place,” said Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman. “He came here as a student and he retired as one of the most respected presidents in our 148 year history.” The position will be held by all future deans of ACES, serving as a testament to Easter’s legacy at the University, Kaler said. “I can’t think of a better way to honor his contributions and dedication to this university than to put his name on the endowed position that will always be held by the dean of the college where Bob began his Illinois story,” she said.

UI committed to equal opportunity Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson released a statement reaffirming the University’s stance on equal opportunity, affirmative action and equal access Thursday. The statement, which was sent out to students through a University Massmail, touched on the University’s commitment to providing a diverse campus. Wilson emphasized the University’s affirmative action plan to increase the representation of women, minorities, persons with disabilities and protected veterans as well as its commitment to comply with Title IX. Wilson also encouraged

students to participate in events and programs during Inclusive Illinois Week, which runs from September 26 to October 2. Gigi Secuban, the associate vice chancellor for student afffairs, said that Inclusive Illinois Week will be a great way for students to see first hand the diversity at the University. “(Inclusive Illinois is) doing a number of service projects, they’re celebrating Hispanic heritage month, there’s a number of things such as Culture Shock, that’s happening in the Union tomorrow,” Secuban said. “It’s just a way for students to just experience the diversity that we have on our campus.”

Kane emphasized the homeless are not the only people who need a free meal. Senior citizens, families with children and disabled individuals also visit the kitchen, and will never be refused at Daily Bread. “I can’t even really imagine where so many people would find a meal in our community (without Daily Bread),” Kane said. “A lot of people would go hungry.”

Carle Foundation broke ground on a new center Saturday, expanding its current facilities. The center is located on the corner of First Street and Windsor Road, four miles away from the main facility.

Carle begins building new sports medicine center Carle Foundation broke ground for the construction of a new orthopedic and sports medicine treatment center Saturday. The 52,000 square foot facility, located on the corner of First Street and Windsor Road, is expected to open in 2017, according to a press release. Over 50 physicians, physician assistants, physical therapists and athletic trainers will work at the center to treat orthopedic conditions and sports related injuries. “More people require orthopedic care now as baby boomers age and people live longer in general. The new building will allow us to help meet their needs, seeing more patients in a contemporary and comfortable environment,” said James C. Leonard, Carle Foundation president and chief executive officer in the release. “Whether they need advanced orthopedic care or sports medicine services, the facility is conveniently located for patients, both for those within Champaign-Urbana and those from communities in the region.”

The new center is designed to consolidate operations of two locations and aid patients who struggle with mobility before or after treatment. The new facility will also offer more injury diagnosis, orthopedic rehabilitation and athletic training, including programs such as injury prevention programs for over 20 sports and a course to prevent knee injuries. “We see a variety of needs, from those who develop conditions such as arthritis and others who sustain injuries from sports, work, accidents or overuse,” said Robert Gurtler, MD, associate medical director of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, in the release. “The new building, along with our expanded staff, will help Carle continue to be a leader in these fields. As the official medical provider of Fighting Illini Athletics and sports medicine provider for many area schools, we look forward to collaborating with our colleagues at the University of Illinois and conducting sports medicine research.”

In order to properly repent, we are asked to â€œafflictâ€? our souls by abstaining from food and drink for 25 hours â€” because one whole day isnâ€™t enough. This is a day meant for

prayer and thought for the majority of Jews, however most Jewish students on this campus were not afforded that luxury on Wednesday. This is because classes went on as normal, midterms went on without a hiccup and the day seemed like any other here on campus, save for a few of your Jewish friends complaining how hungry they were. Not canceling classes, and continuing to schedule big midterms or labs for this date is a great oversight by this university because it puts Jewish students at a disadvantage to succeed. Take for example, the University of California school system. Seven of their universities are altering their move-in days to avoid conflicting with the Jewish high holidays. If seven schools can adjust their entire class schedules to conform to Jews, the University should at

least give the students one day off. This is even more surprising given that the University of California school system only contains three percent Jewish students. Compare this to the ten percent of the student population that is Jewish at the University and there is even more evidence to be mystified by the Universityâ€™s decision. One student affected by the Universityâ€™s decision is Louis Diamond, junior in Engineering. Diamond had an important lab for fluid dynamics on Wednesday. As a result, he was unable to attend Kol Nidre services. Kol Nidre is the night prior to Yom Kippur and is unanimously considered the holiest night on the Jewish calendar. Diamond was busy studying for this important lab and could not find time in his schedule to go to services. When asked if he would have attended services had he not had a lab the follow-

ing day, Diamond responded emphatically, â€œYes, absolutely.â€? This is just one of countless examples on campus where students were forced to choose between their studies and their faith. Diamond chose not to fast on this Yom Kippur so as to be more prepared for his lab; imagine having to take a midterm on an empty stomach. Iâ€™m not sure how many of you have fasted, but is not an enjoyable experience. By the time lunchtime hits, you feel groggy, tired and generally absent-minded. These are no conditions to take a midterm in. Fasting is a mitzvah, a good deed, on Yom Kippur as it is an affliction of the soul for our sins of the past year. And as such, even the least observant Jews will fast for this holiday. What this all boils down to is the University should be showing more respect

Praising our uproarious musical scene

ur university is unique for a variety of reasons. Be it our amazing engineering and business programs, our large population of international students or our often-noticed night-life, everyone knows about Illinois for one reason or another. And the amazingly unique music scene flooding along the outskirts of campus needs to be tacked onto that list. Just this past weekend, and continuing through this week, the Pygmalion festival was held at various locations in the ChampaignUrbana area in buildings on the University as well. The annual festival displays shows of literature, tech exhibits and alternative music that even includes exemplary local bands. The fact that our school has such an up-and-coming music festival personal to our campus once a year, matched with the effervescent musical scene constantly milling about us is a fundamental piece to our unique atmosphere. It helps add a creative edge to the seriousness of preparing for postgraduate life, allowing students an outlet for expression no matter how they choose to participate. Bands such as CHVRCHES, Purity Ring, Run the Jewels, The Lone Bellow, Magic Man, Real Estate, The Head and the Heart and GROUPLOVE have graced our University with performances in the past few years, alone. We have an amazing history of big names such as U2 and Elvis Pres-

ley jamming out in Assembly Hall. There is a strong culture of students forming bands, and whether they perform at Urbana house shows or Frattle of the Bands, it all culminates in a musical undercurrent driven by talent, curiosity and freedom. Not to mention the fact that these local bands, no matter how small, are following in the footsteps of REO Speedwagon and Elsinore, two bands that were formed at the University. When we see festivals such as Pygmalion occurring at the University, it should be a signal to the loud and large musical population living in the area. Weâ€™re lucky to have this type of local community that makes engaging with new music simple. It increases knowledge and experience amongst our peers about modern music and about the many forms of expression. No matter how serious our studies are, the array of talent shows students that there are constant ways to work creativity into everyday, studious life. Plus, there is the obvious advantage that students get to see amazing bands for cheaper prices right here at our campus home. We donâ€™t have to worry, for the most part, about driving three hours to Chicago just to see a band we like â€” there are constant opportunities to have the same experience here. Our musicality and musicality we see brought to campus is a reminder of our talent and it creates a culture that students can take advantage of and learn from.

that he would be unable to pitch for his team as it was Yom Kippur and he did not want to break from tradition, even for the World Series. On the heels of Sandy Koufaxâ€™s decision, American Jews were filled with pride and the country as a whole grew to learn the importance of this holiday. University officials would be hard pressed to find any students that have plans to pitch in the World Series this year, but that is no excuse for the University keeping classes scheduled for Wednesday while professors planned midterms and labs without a second thought. In 1965 Sandy Koufax taught all of America an important lesson about the significance of Yom Kippur. Maybe in 2016, the University of Illinois will heed his lessons.

Addressing hazing on campus and in Greek life COURTNEY BOYER

and recognition for Jews on this campus. Within the past year, the giant Menorah that stands outside of Chabad has been vandalized twice. This is a clear sign of disrespect toward Jews, if nothing else. Perhaps if University officials respected Jews on this campus by giving them Yom Kippur off, its students would learn to do the same. This is especially prevalent given that this Yom Kippur is the 50th anniversary of Sandy Koufax famously skipping Game 1 of the World Series to take part in his Yom Kippur customs. For those that are unfamiliar with the situation, Sandy Koufax was the best pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965 when he carried them to the World Series. He was scheduled to start Game 1 against the Minnesota Twins but told his manager hours before the game started

reek life sometimes gets a bad rap. Whether itâ€™s stories about hazing, alcohol misuse or even cases of racism, there seems to always be news about Greek organizations acting in a way that can make many think Greek life as a whole should not be respected. As this past week was National Hazing Prevention Week, many sororities and fraternities across campuses in America are taking steps to increase awareness of the prominent problem of hazing on college campuses. While I wonâ€™t pretend for a second that hazing isnâ€™t a serious problem that might take place on this campus, I am lucky enough to say that my experience with Greek life has been different, and I know a lot of students on this campus can say the same about their experiences with hazing as well. Hazing is defined as any situation created intentionally that causes embarrassment, harassment, ridicule or risks harm to members of an organization, regardless of the personâ€™s willingness to participate. More times than not, hazing is about control and power and does not build unity. Greek life is not the only culprit of hazing â€” sports teams, clubs and societies have all been known to participate in hazing across college campuses. In fact,

three in five college students will be subjected to hazing, making this an issue all Greek life organizations need to address. I am a part of an organization within the Greek community that does not haze. As a sophomore, I have never been hazed in my organization, and neither have any of my sisters, nor will any future sisters be hazed. On Bid Day, my organization reassured all the new members that hazing was not tolerated and that we had nothing to worry about. This was really comforting and should be a feeling that all new members into Greek life should get to experience. However, my sorority is not the only sorority on this campus that embraces this policy, which is something to be proud of. Hannah Wolfe, junior in Business, spoke of her own sororityâ€™s policies with hazing and stated, â€œI think it is important to publicly recognize the fact that we do not haze because it takes that fear away from the new members and their families and holds everyone in our chapter accountable. Iâ€™m proud to be from an organization with such a loving and respecting sisterhood and I think itâ€™s important to continue to spread the word that hazing is never okay.â€? Spreading hazing awareness within the Greek system is an important issue for college campuses across the nation, especially due to the recent media attention that Greek organizations have been receiving. It seems as though hazing has become worse every year; there is always a

new story on someone who has been harmed from a hazing ritual. This year in particular, five fraternity brothers from Baruch College in New York are facing murder charges after a pledge died during a ritual. This is absolutely unacceptable. College campuses should use the stories that cover our news as motivation to adopt a no-hazing policy to protect members of organizations. Situations such as these are hard for a member of the Greek system to hear about because they are not representative of Greek life as a whole. Greek life is about friendship, companionship and building relationships that last beyond college. With one of the largest Greek life systems in the world, this issue is especially important here on campus. As a school, Illinois should try to make this a haze-free campus in order to be representative of what our Greek life truly is. I cannot speak for others, but my particular Greek organization posted about hazing prevention all week long on social media outlets because we wanted to publicly recognize that hazing is never OK. They are proud to be an organization that does not condone hazing, and I am proud to be a member of such an organization. Hopefully, with the help of events such as Hazing Prevention Week, we can bring the subject of hazing to light, and give Greek life a little more respect.

Lit Crawl filled with comedy, emotion ASHISH VALENTINE Ebert fellow

here’s a feeling somewhere between being torn and confused, like hearing a great joke at a funeral, that characterized the tonally diverse performances at the Pygmalion Literature Festival. One performer’s comically angst-ridden teenage diary entries on crushes and fights with her mother were presented before another’s hushed, intimate poem detailing a child’s fear as his mother’s abusive boyfriend beat his fists at their front door. These readings, each superbly crafting its own impression, contributed to a cocktail of beautifully discordant emotion. Performances on Saturday opened with the Lit Crawl, a series of free readings at venues across downtown Champaign, including the Blind Pig, Exile on Main Street and Mike N’ Molly’s, allowing audience members to choose from a selection of performers at any time. The presenting writers came from a variety of backgrounds; some were recent MFA graduates from Illinois, while others had several popular books under their belts. Some were online writers and stage performers. From the rambling descriptions of a child’s struggles with authenticity by a wildly gesticulating Colin Winnette, to a series of dryly delivered aphorisms dealing with snobbery, insecurity and pretense by Kathleen Rooney, the event presented an offbeat set of distinctive styles and subjects. Even the presentation of each author’s work varied significantly; John Dudek, for instance,

pausing between impassioned fits of poetic output, peppered his readings with trivia about the frequently absurd phenomena that inspire his work. Examples included an urban legend in which a train carrying tons of cheese once derailed and sent rolls of giant cheddar thundering into the nearby forest, or a metaphysical experience while reading old Scottish folktales. Not all of the presenters chose to read specific prose and poetry, at least in the traditional sense. After notifying the crowd that her recent work was all depressing nonfiction, Lindsey Gates-Markel instead chose to read excerpts from the diary she kept as a teenager living in a small town, describing with glee the horror of dating difficulties and more in her high school days. When such a variety of performers and styles are represented at an event, it’s evident that not every one of them will be to every taste. However, every performer present at the event was able to leave me with a distinct impression of their style and a strong emotive response, be it tickled pink, drily entertained, or profoundly disturbed. Roya Khatiblou, ending the series of readings at the Blind Pig, struck a chord with a darkly present tale of fear and violence hidden amid the chaos of the kitchen behind a diner. Following the Lit Crawl was Mortified, a specially priced event brought to Champaign from its regular performances in Chicago. At the event, a selection of writers and comedians fearlessly presented the most embarrassing works they could find from their childhoods. These performances were as varied as one woman’s reenactment of attempting to woo her high school prom date with a ukulele rendition of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” a short film in which a teenage version of the presenter acted out every role in a James Bond-inspired spy movie set in his basement, a Heavy Metal Jesus-rock ode one boy composed to the youth room at his child-

hood church (complete with a verse dedicated solely to the foosball table) and readings from a high school journal whose melodramatic author was convinced she was writing the next diary of Anne Frank. While the lit crawl was at times poignant, melancholy or wistful, Mortified aimed for the much more specific emotional register of ludicrous hilarity. Attending Mortified directly after the readings was proved to be somewhat of a jarring experience. Leaving an event at which a poet intimately discussed family abuse and arriving immediately afterward at an hour of full-out comedy proved to be a challenge in compartmentalization. However, Mortified never failed to keep the attention, and the same impressive variety that Lit Crawl picked in tone and style was matched by a variety of performance styles at Mortified. At a $15 price tag, the event did make me cringe when considering how I’d had a much more varied set of experiences at the free-to-attend lit crawl just moments before, but considered on its own, Mortified’s remarkable set of performers made the event worth the price of admission. I naturally was not as moved or affected by Mortified, but by design, it certainly had different goals from the Lit Crawl, which it met admirably. As the lights went down on Mortified, I became conscious of this frenetic, hilarious performance as composing yet another part of the disjointed feelings that the entire festival evoked for me. The Lit Crawl’s emotionally dissonant mix of jarring realism, dry wit, and eccentricity was not undermined, but strangely supplemented by an evening of raucous high comedy. The result of attending these showings filled me with chaotic, conflicting emotion, and the one solid conclusion I could draw from my experience was that it was entirely worth doing again.

this very moment, the phone in your pocket is gathering massive amounts of data. But the legal lines that dictate what can be done with that information are blurred at best. Technology is advancing at a rate that is grossly disproportionate to government regulation, and if that doesn’t bother you, it should. This poses an array of ethical and logistical dilemmas that people and corporations will eventually be forced to confront. And that day of reckoning will likely come before we’re ready. Thursday’s lecture on the Internet of Things at Research Park during The Pygmalion Festival discussed how putting sensors in more devices has revolutionized the way companies interact with customers and get product feedback. Led by Jed Taylor, director of operations at the Technology Entrepreneur Center, the small panel represented three companies: Petronics, a small tech start-up; W. W. Grainger, an e-commerce Amazon competitor; and Ameren Company. These companies represent a remarkable era in technology and innovation. But if we are wise, we will treat the Information Age with a healthy dose of skepticism. Geoff Westphal, the director of intellectual

property at W.W. Grainger repeated over and over that we “can’t know what we don’t know.” With these words, Westphal summed up the internet’s greatest strength and Achille’s heel. When the internet first emerged in the mid’90s, we never fathomed in just two decades we’d be carrying it around with us in our pockets. Westphal said that, because of this, we need to keep an open mind to technology. But keeping an open mind does not mean we should ignore the widening gap between technological innovation and government regulation. Privacy laws vary country to country, and there are massive regulatory gray areas that need to be addressed, especially with respect to consumers’ personal information. As Americans, we have an implied right to privacy under the First Amendment. But what does privacy look like in the Information Age? Westphal points out that the IoT has brought about a fundamental change in the way we defi ne privacy. “I think there is a whole generation right now of millennials who don’t have any problem putting their life on Facebook, and I think that may be a changing philosophy for humankind is, ‘What do you get if you give up privacy?’” The problem with this though is the average Facebook user probably doesn’t have an adequate idea of how much data they generate. This brings up the fundamental question of who is responsible for protecting data, companies or the people they serve? The more sensorequipped products that are available, the more customer data that is available to companies. In a way, it seems that the Internet of Things has almost made the custom-

The Internet of Things keeps track of your life er a middle-man in the modern market. This has allowed for companies to get better product feedback and improve quality of service with little effort on the consumer’s part. Ameren’s shift from analog meters to digital Smart Meters has caused an infi nitesimal increase in the company’s data collection. Ameren Site Manager, Owen Doyle said, “We used to take one data point per customer per month when they came out and read your meter. Now we’re getting one data point every fifteen minutes from every customer … and the Smart Meters are actually capable of taking six to ten data points every fifteen minutes.” The switch to Smart Meters lets customers track their energy usage in real time and helps Ameren isolate issues in the grid more easily, so they can more effectively serve their customers. However, this growing data mine raises a lot of questions for technically unsavvy people like me. Right off the bat, where is all this data going, what information does it reveal and what would happen if it fell into the wrong hands? In an age where technological innovation so heavily defi nes who we are as nations and individual people, developers have a responsibility to their consumers to keep making new products. By the same token, innovation should be driven by solutions and not by satisfying fleeting technological trends. “Is it cool, or does it actually make things easier?” is the question Doyle said we need to be asking. “If it’s cool, it’ll only last a short amount of time. If it makes things easier, you’ll actually adopt it as part of your lifestyle,” he said.

The Philadelphia-based band Beach Slang performs at the Channing Murray Foundation Friday night into Saturday morning as part of the Pygmalion Festival. Beach Slang’s latest record was produced by local record company Polyvinyl.

BY LILLIAN BARKLEY ASSISTANT COPY CHIEF

One of Pymalion’s smallest venues became a chapel of punk Friday night. Headliner Beach Slang, along with White Reaper and Champaign-locals Euriah and Single Player, shook up the Channing Murray Foundation in Urbana from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The punk-rock lineup featured deafening guitar riffs and drum solos that were amplified by the small space and cathedral ceilings of what typically serves as a Unitarian-Universalist community center. The evening began with Euriah, who made a point to keep talking to a minimum, and showcase tracks from their new EP. The set worked well with the relaxed crowd that had just begun to form: The lights were kept up, and the amps were low enough to allow for conversation. After the show, the band greeted fans and handed out CDs while Single Player set up. The band played a quick, energetic set. They encouraged fans to come as close as they wanted to the band,

and the crowd complied. The audience shifted forward and formed a small circle pit during the fi rst song, with a few fans singing along to slower, guitar-heavy tracks. The crowd’s energy was high going into White Reaper, a Louisville-based garage-punk band that signed to Polyvinyl Records last year. The four-piece’s sound added a ringing, psychedelic keyboard which wove itself through power chords and rasping lyrics. Occasionally, keyboardist Ryan Hater would play just by haphazardly slamming his fi ngers — and forehead, later into the set — into the keyboard. While the only technical effects were blue spotlights, the audience and band worked together to make a visual spectacle, with Hater throwing himself into the middle of the pit and bassist Sam Wilkerson jumping from amps and a raised platform behind the band. As the pit got rowdier, audience members on the edges of the packed venue began to stand on pews. The venue began to literally heat up, causing the band members to drip with sweat and

some male members of the pit to forego shirts. The entire effect was hilariously juxtaposed by the only other lights in the chapel: a large stained-glass window centered high on the wall behind White Reaper. Most of the audience went outside to escape the heat after the set. Maybe the lower temperatures also chilled the energy, or audience members weren’t keen on staying out past midnight, but everything was calmer as Beach Slang took the stage. The middle of the audience was the most energetic, but the members of the audience who had been knocking into everyone around them earlier just head-banged and jumped in place. The band seemed to be more fond of creating a rapport and introducing songs with extended comedic bits, which sometimes drifted offtrack from the music. Frontman James Alex admitted that the Philadelphia band was preparing for a national tour and was still “working out the kinks.” Issues which may have stemmed from a lack of practice, such as Alex doing

an intro for the wrong song on the setlist or one of the band members missing a cue, stilted the set. When the band got their act together, their talent shone. Alex’s sweat-streaked hair fell over his eyes while his guitar chords soared and mingled with rapid-fire drum riffs. Bass thrummed through the crowd and completed the classic punk foursome. Polyvinyl signed the band after it released two foursong LPs, and produced its first full-length album. Alex noted going to the Polyvinyl offices in Champaign and holding the physical record was like a crazy dream. He also said the dream seemed to continue every time he took in the enthusiastic, happy audience made mostly of college students who “got it.” “This is life,” he said. “You gotta bite into it.” Beach Slang is not new to the scene, so hopefully they will hone down their act and focus on what really matters: the angst-ridden, punk music that brought them to Pygmalion.

Football survives despite late-game mistakes BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

Illinois football barely took care of business in its last nonconference game of the season. Down by a point with two minutes left, the Illini faced their second-straight loss. Kicker Taylor Zalewski made a 51-yard field goal to give Illinois the 27-25 lead over Middle Tennessee State. The defense held on in the teamâ€™s final tune-up before Big Ten play begins against Nebraska next Saturday. â€œIâ€™ve never seen an ugly win. Itâ€™s either a win or a loss,â€? said head coach Bill Cubit. â€œSometimes you play real well and you lose, sometimes you donâ€™t play real well and you win ... We didnâ€™t play real well. Usually you need three phases, of offense, defense and special teams to win, we didnâ€™t. We lost two phases and I thought the defense played real well.â€? Illinoisâ€™ defense stole the show after a poor performance at North Carolina last week, giving up 48 points to the Tarheels. Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s offense finished with 330 passing yards and only 38 rushing yards. While the offense struggled to gain momentum, the defense kept the game close despite missed opportunities on the offensive side of the ball. The first big defensive play came in the second quarter when Illinois forced Middle Tenesse State to punt the ball

from its own 25-yard line. The Illiniâ€™s Caleb Day â€” who played his first game of the season after he was suspended for the first three games â€” raced to block the punt and Clayton Fejedelem scooped the ball and returned it for the touchdown. The other big play also came in the second quarter when Dawuane Smoot forced Blue Raiders quarterback Brent Stockstill to fumble the ball. Jihad Ward recovered the ball and ran it down the field before he fumbled the ball at Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s 11-yard line. Illinoisâ€™ Chunky Clements recovered the ball after a long sequence of plays. While Illinoisâ€™ defense did a good job of limiting the Blue Raiderâ€™s offense for most of the game, there were still a couple of open plays, including a 63-yard touchdown pass where there was a breakdown in coverage by the secondary. Despite the mistakes, players and coaches both see progress being made in the first four games of the season. â€œI thought we were getting after the quarterback than we had,â€? said co-defensive coordinator Mike Phair. â€œWe just need to keep on taking the ball away, thatâ€™s what weâ€™re preaching, and trying to score, we still have to do that.â€? The Illinois offense started the game with a good drive after receiving the ball to start the game. Quar-

Wes Lunt hands off the ball to Keâ€™Shawn Vaughn (5) in Illinoisâ€™ game against Middle Tennessee Saturday. terback Wes Lunt led the offense down the field for 75 yards and seven plays in 2:05. The Illini ended the drive with a touchdown when Lunt threw a five-yard pass to Malik Turner. Lunt and the offense failed to continue with the first-possession momentum for much of the game. Dropped passes have been

a theme for the team after the first three games, and it seemed like Lunt and the wide receivers were not on the same page for most of the game. There were moments when Lunt saw a different defensive scheme than his wide receivers, which led to overthrown passes or wrong execution of routes.

Illinois had two drives when the offense made it to Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s 20-yard line and didnâ€™t score. The Illini did score an offensive touchdown in the third quarter when freshman running back Keâ€™Shawn Vaughn ran for a eight-yard touchdown â€” he finished with 80 rushing yards.

Illinois will start their Big Ten season against Nebraska next Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Although the win over Middle Tennessee State wasnâ€™t the prettiest, players know that it doesnâ€™t matter how close the game is if itâ€™s the right result.

Illini football wins in tale of two field goals BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

TYLER COURTNEY THE DAILY ILLINI

Taylor Zalewski kicks a field goal in Illinois' game vs. Middle Tennessee Saturday.

Taylor Zalewski was on the sidelines as the clock ran down and Middle Tennessee State was driving the ball. With just eight seconds to go, the Blue Raiders were down to their last chance and Zalewskiâ€™s job was done. So he waited with his teammates, coaches and the Illini faithful to see what would happen. â€œUsually, I root for the kickers to be honest,â€? Zalewski said with a laugh. â€œBut, this was the first time I was thinking, â€˜I hope he pulls it left.â€™â€?

And Middle Tennessee kicker Cody Clark did pull it left, securing a 27-25 win for Illinois in a game that boiled down to a pair of field goals. After missing three field goals in a row this season, including one earlier on Saturday, Zaleswski made two against the Blue Raiders. One of those was a 51-yard game winner in the final three minutes that was the deciding score for the Illini. But the distance didnâ€™t worry him. In fact, Zalewski said he has made 70 yarders in practice but a game situation makes hitting the long ones much more complicat-

Win acts as warning to Illini PETER BAILEYWELLS Sports editor

emorial Stadium was loud on Saturday night when Taylor Zalewskiâ€™s go-ahead 51-yard field goal sailed through the uprights to put Illinois up 27-25. The Illinois sideline was a jumble of orange and blue excitement, like a bunch of puppies who had just been told itâ€™s dinner time. The whole place was rocking, as much as a partially full stadium can rock. At that point, Middle Tennessee could have been Ohio State, Northwestern or Nebraska, the team the Illini begin Big Ten play with next Saturday. For people walking by the stadium, there would have been no way to know the Illini were surviving a scare from a ConferenceUSA team. It was just a mass of humanity celebrating a close win. But that might not be enough this season. Maybe I was oversold on the Illini. Maybe I was undersold on Middle Tennessee State. But that win was not a good one. That being said, head coach Bill Cubit avoided a signature loss. After the game, he said he doesnâ€™t care if wins are ugly or pretty â€” a winâ€™s a win. For the purpose of the Illiniâ€™s record, a win certainly is a win. But for the purpose of this seasonâ€™s prospects, Saturdayâ€™s victory was a warning sign for what may be to come. Cubit didnâ€™t make any excuses in his postgame remarks. He was visibly pissed off at various points during Saturdayâ€™s matchup, barking at Lunt and his receivers more than once. But honesty and frankness arenâ€™t going to win Cubit the head coaching job on a permanent basis. He needs to win, and win big, if heâ€™s going to stick around. Last week, I wrote that â€” in a vacuum â€” Illinoisâ€™ 48-14 loss to North Carolina was horrendous, but in the long run, the Big Ten play matters more. Saturdayâ€™s game is the same way. In a vacuum, it was a gross win. But in the long run, Cubit has survived nonconference

ed because he has to aim higher to avoid the block. Though it was his third 50-yard career field goal, it was his first since he made a 54-yarder in 2012 against Purdue. So as he ran onto the field for that final kick, he didnâ€™t have a lot of nerves. He was calm and said a prayer. There was a little wind, his aim was good, and the ball went the distance. â€œBy far, it was the biggest kick Iâ€™ve had (at Illinois),â€? Zaleweski said. Last season, Zalewski made just half of his six

play 3-1 and if he wins three games in Big Ten play and wins a bowl game, the Blue Raidersâ€™ near-upset will be a distant memory. History tells us that Illinois can struggle after starting the season 3-1. Last season, it was the Purdue loss. In 2013, it was going 1-7 in Big Ten play. Clayton Fejedelem dropped an interception on Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s final drive and said after the game that he would have blamed himself for the loss. Fortunately for Fejedelem â€” who played well Saturday, contributing â€” Cody Clark missed the kick and the Illini safety escaped without any blame. Thatâ€™s how all of the Illini should feel following Saturday. They avoided a banana peel â€” albeit one that gave Alabama a bit of trouble â€” and might just be able to put this one behind them. A win is a win, but that one was not one the Illini will want to repeat.

Summary: Illinois had little trouble this weekend sweeping Maryland and Rutgers, who rank at the bottom of the conference. It was the Illiniâ€™s first test against Big Ten competition. Key Performer: Katie Stadick recorded 10 kills and seven blocks against Maryland, leading the team in both categories. She followed the performance up with 12 kills and three blocks against Rutgers.

The No. 9 Illinois volleyball team (11-2) started off Big Ten play with two convincing sweeps of conference foes, Maryland and Rutgers. Illinois went on the road for a fourth-consecutive weekend to take on Maryland (10-6) and Rutgers (3-11) on Friday and Saturday, respectively. The

team was able to finish off the Terrapins (25-15, 25-15, 25-17) and the Scarlet Knights (25-20, 25-8, 25-16) in three sets to start conference play undefeated. Against the Terrapins in College Park, Maryland, the Illini offense took control throughout the match and never faced a deficit greater than two points. Five Illini recorded six or more kills. Four Illini ended the match

with a hit percentage above .400. Maryland relied heavily on outside hitter Adreene Elliott, who led the match with 12 kills and three aces. Her production wasnâ€™t enough to keep the Terrapins from losing their fourth-consecutive match, which they followed with a loss to Northwestern the fol-

Soccer steps up for Big Ten play Moves to 8-2-1 after winning impressive matches

BY JON JOFFE STAFF WRITER

A statement-making performance this week is just what the Illinois soccer team needed to prove that it still means business. The Illini returned home for two matches after a disappointing showing in Indiana last weekend. On that road trip, Illinois tied 0-0 with a Hoosiers team that they were expected to beat and subsequently lost to Purdue 3-1 two days later. It was not supposed to get any easier for Illinois this week, as Janet Rayfield and company faced a Rutgers team Thursday that was ranked No. 11 in the country heading into the match. Rutgers sported an 8-0 record, and had not given up a single goal leading up to its match against the Illini. Illinois stepped up to the plate, defeating the Scarlet Knights 2-1 and moving to 7-2-1 in the season. Allison Stuckey was the first to get on the board against a stingy Rutgers defense, and Kara Marbury sealed the deal with a goal in the final 10 minutes of the match. “We had nothing to lose, and they had a nice target on our back,” Stuckey said. “(They came in) undefeated, (allowed) no goals and we were like, ‘We’re gonna get em.’” Sunday was set up to be an

Up next: Ohio State on Friday easier matchup for the Illini, as they faced off against a Maryland team that is 5-5 and has yet to win a conference game. The Terrapins showed up to play however, further supporting coach Rayfield’s claim earlier in the week that, “(the Big Ten) is a different game.” It was a physical matchup to say the least, with both teams pushing and shoving, advancing the ball aggressively in hopes of gaining the upper hand.

Murray’s goal was made possible by a signature, flip throw-in by Nicole Breece, who found Murray right in front of the net on the left side. The freshman smacked it into the left corner. Things became controversial in the 58th minute. Alex Anthony of Maryland drew Illinois goal-

tender Claire Wheatley out of the net, leading to a strike that Wheatley barely blocked. After the shot, both players became tangled on the ground. Wheatley was given a yellow-card, and Anthony was given a penalty shot that she would capitalize on, tying the game at one. Illinois coaches were visibly upset, criticizing the refs for what they believed

was a bad call — assistant coach Jeff Freeman even received a yellow-card. The match would not be settled in regulation, and headed to OT. Breece was the hero for the Illini, breaking the tie and scoring on a header in the 118th minute off a Hope D’Addario cross. Rayfield applauded her team after the match for looking beyond the contro-

versy and finding a way to win. “My biggest thought right now is that with everything that was going on, I don’t know that I’ve ever been that animated on the sideline,” Rayfield said. “This team just stuck with it, and that’s what I wanted them to do.”

Illinois men’s tennis finds talent in young members Childers and Hirsch bright spots at Texas A & M meet BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER

The long-awaited season opener for the Illinois men’s tennis team closed with a hopeful finish for a few young players. The Illini, who are playing without three of their top players — Jared Hiltzik, Aleks Vukic and Brian Page — traveled to Texas A&M for the Conference Challenge and head coach Brad Dancer was not sure how his team would perform. Asher Hirsch answered his coach’s questions. The freshman began the singles portion of the event by winning his first three matches against players from Texas A&M and Harvard. Hirsch finished 3-1 in singles with his only loss coming against No. 55 AJ Catanzariti of Texas A&M. Overall, he ended the tournament 3-1 in singles and 1-1 in doubles. He said that his strong first match was a product of months of practice. “I really just trusted the

FOOTBALL attempted field goals while competing with fellow kicker David Reisner, who went 6-for-11. With a new approach this year, Zalewski has maintained his confidence, which he said is key in the kicking mindset. “This year is forgetting about the last kick,” Zalewski said. “You make it, you

hard work that I’ve put in during the first few months at Illinois and it definitely paid off,” Hirsch said. “I just kept battling out there.” Along with Hirsch, redshirt junior Julian Childers led Illinois throughout the weekend. Childers finished 2-2 in the singles portion, and according to Dancer, he had one of the more impressive performances of the tournament. Childers found himself down 3-0 in one set on Sunday but battled back for a win. “He had a rough start, but dialed in his focus and got himself where he needs to be in competing down the stretch,” Dancer said. “I think he fought back and showed great perseverance out there.” The Illini’s top-ranked player in the lineup, sophomore Aron Hiltzik, struggled throughout the early rounds in singles, losing his first three matches. However, Hiltzik managed a win in round four against No. 117 Nicky Hu of Harvard. Hiltzik and Childers lost 8-4 against No. 3 Felipe Soares and Hugo Dojas of Texas Tech. But Hiltzik and fellow sophomore Toshiki Matsuya battled back to take down Texas A&M’s

No. 1 team of Catanzariti and Jordi Arconada. Despite the rough weekend, Hiltzik was positive with how much he progressed throughout. “I definitely had to battle a lot of parts in my head, I would say I was having trouble staying mentally tough,” Hiltzik said. “I had a little bit of rust coming in, but overall I progressed through the whole tournament and grew stronger mentally.” According to Dancer, this week was more about laying the foundation for the rest of the season than focusing on wins and he said he believes the Illini accomplished just that. “We had some good performances even though some guys struggled confidence-wise,” Dancer said. “We competed hard and we saw some good things out of Childers and Hirsch had a couple good wins himself.” The Illini’s next chance to build upon their young season will come on Oct. 3-11 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association AllAmerican Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

miss, it doesn’t matter, you move on.” Head coach Bill Cubit have gained confidence in their kicker and said he had no hesitation about sending him out there to kick in the final minutes. Instead, his nerves set in when Middle Tennessee was kicking its field goal at the end of the game. Cubit was on the sidelines saying a prayer and asking his recently deceased mother for a gust of wind to car-

ry the ball outside the goal posts. But defensive man Dawuane Smoot, who was on the field for that final Blue Raiders’ kick, was not as worried as the seconds ticked away. “I didn’t look back,” Smoot said. “I just kept looking forward and when I heard the crowd, I knew.”

Illinois Hockey was very confused when it left Norman, Oklahoma, this weekend. The Illini (2-1-1-0) played right with the Sooners (2-1-10) in the first game on Friday night. Matching Oklahoma’s physicality, Illinois tied the game late and sent it to overtime with a goal from senior forward John Olen. “After that equalizer goal, we definitely felt like we were carrying the play,” Olen said. “But with overtime being four-on-four the entire time, it really changes the game. Both teams are going to get their opportunities. (Oklahoma) just capitalized on its.” Oklahoma scored the game winner with only seconds left in the overtime period. Olen said the Illini were confident that if they forced it to a shootout then they would have won. “I thought we played well on Friday, and I think we deserved to win that game,” said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “Saturday we just didn’t show up, and it was really frustrating.” The game Saturday featured a different Illini squad. According to Olen, Illinois did not come out with the same intensity in the 7-0 loss to Oklahoma. The Illini were beat up after the overtime loss the night before. They had two players who suffered injuries in the first game. Sophomore defenseman Joey Caprio suffered an AC sprain in his shoulder, and junior defenseman Aaron Dusek injured his hand and was having trouble holding his stick before the second game. Both players did not play in the game on Saturday and will be reevaluated this week. According to Fabbrini, those injuries were “no excuse” for how his team

The team was able to anticipate the attack and force the Terrapins to play from their weak side. Illinois rode the momentum from its first Big Ten win into New Brunswick, New Jersey, to take on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights have struggled since entering the Big Ten and currently have the worst record in the conference. Head coach Kevin Hambly said his team’s physicality coupled with Rutgers’ multiple injuries gave the Illini the edge in the match-

Fabbrini said he believes that even if one guy goes down, they have players to fill the spots. With two players hurt, the Illini struggled to stay disciplined. They were unable to keep players out of the penalty box, and junior defenseman Austin Zima said the games just left him confused. “It was just a weird weekend,” Zima said. “One game we are taking a top-10 team to overtime in a game we probably should have won, and then the next night the same team is making us look like we don’t even belong on the ice with them.” The Sooners had a power play for the first eight minutes of the first period, but the Illini were able to kill the penalty without any damage done. Late in the second period Fabbrini’s team had to try to kill another penalty for five minutes. The penalty overlapped into the third period. The Illini did not make it out of that one with the same good fortune. Oklahoma capitalized scoring four of its seven goals in the span. According to Olen, the team gains momentum when they can kill a penalty without giving up a goal. But whenever Illinois killed one up. However, his team still made sure to respect the Scarlet Knights despite its advantages. “What we were told is that they have been getting a lot better, so we needed to expect a good fight,” Strizak said. “We wanted to take it to them. It’s not necessarily about who we are playing, but how we are playing and how we can get better.” Illinois’s offense once again overpowered its opponent, with Strizak leading the way with 15 kills. Outside hitter Katie Roustio and middle blocker Katie Stadick followed closely behind with 13 and 12 kills, respectively, along with three blocks apiece. Overall, the offense hit over .400 for the match, and limited Rutgers to a .135 hit percentage. The team’s only sign

Zima called the first game a “dang good hockey game to be a part of, but we just ended up on the short end of the stick.” He blamed the team’s selfdestructive tendencies for the loss Saturday. “It’s frustrating when we keep reverting back to the same things that we are working hard to get past,” Zima said. “We need to learn that we can’t control everything on the ice. We can’t control it if the referee decides to put his hand up. We just need to accept it and keep focusing on the game.”

Although the team would eventually win the set, Hambly was disappointed with his team’s effort. “We wanted them to win, but I also wanted to see them play at a high level, which they weren’t,” Hambly said. “We don’t want to be about that because it’s a process and we want to get better.” With the two wins, Illinois is now 8-2 away from Huff Hall. The Illini will be looking to add to that record with its last two road trips to take on Wisconsin and Minnesota this week before a four-match home stand.

& DEFENSE

Editorâ€™s note: Starting this week, The Daily Illini football staff will be giving out grades following the Illinois football game each week. The staff will be grading offense, defense, special teams and coaching.

OFFENSE

Illinoisâ€™ offense looked dysfunctional for much of the game. Quarterback Wes Lunt led the team on a seven-play, 75-yard drive to start the game that culminated with a five-yard touchdown pass to Malik Turner. The offense failed to be productive after the opening score. Lunt did finish with 238 passing yards and a touchdown, but didnâ€™t seem to be on the same page with his wide receivers for much of the day. He said after the game that he saw different defensive schemes than his receivers, which led to poorly executed routes or overthrown balls. Lunt and the offense managed to drive down the field for kicker Taylor Zalewski to hit the game-winning 51-yard field goal, but too many missed opportunities continue to be a problem for the passing game this season. Running back Josh Ferguson was taken out late in the game because of fatigue â€” he finished with 83 rushing yards on 20 carries â€” and freshman Keâ€™Shawn Vaughn took advantage of the opportunity, rushing for 80 yards and a touchdown.

(

& SPECIAL TEAMS

The Illinois defense seemed like it wanted to make up for the 48 points it allowed against North Carolina a week ago. The Illini contained the Blue Raiders for much of the game and created turnovers despite the offenseâ€™s inability to gain momentum. Returning from a three-game suspension, Caleb Day blocked a punt and Clayton Fejedelem fell on it in the end zone to give the Illini six points. Dawuane Smoot forced a fumble in the second quarter that was picked up by Jihad Ward and returned to Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s 11-yard line before he fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Chunky Clements. That set up Zalewskiâ€™s first field goal of the day. The defensive line was as active as itâ€™s been all year, forcing three sacks â€” two courtesy of Smoot. Illinois did allow 165 passing yards in the fourth quarter, the same amount it allowed in the first three quarters. It also allowed Middle Tennessee State to take the lead and gave the Blue Raiders an opportunity to win at the end of the game.

(

' COACHING

Head coach Bill Cubit had a mixed day at the office. He failed to use any timeouts in the first half when his team couldâ€™ve attempted to score just before halftime and wasted two timeouts in the second half on one play. His play-calling was also limited due to injuries to tight ends Tyler White and Tim Clary. Cubit mentioned after the game that he shouldâ€™ve attempted a field goal instead of attempting to go for it on fourth down inside the Middle Tennessee State 5-yard line early in the second half. The head coach did manage to settle his team down despite Middle Tennessee Stateâ€™s momentum and his decision to attempt field goal at the end of the game â€” rather than go for a first down â€” paid off.

The kick return team had another difficult game. Vâ€™Angelo Bentley had a hard time finding gaps to squeeze through and made a costly mistake in the second quarter. He failed to call for a fair catch on a punt and Illinois was forced to start its offensive possession inside the 1-yard line. Middle Tennessee State forced a safety on the very next play, which Bentley could have avoided had he signaled for a fair catch. But kicker Taylor Zalewski made up for any deficiencies in the return game with a serious display of confidence. The senior made a 51-yard, game-winning field goal despite missing an attempt earlier in the game. The made field goal was a nice redemption for a kicker who had missed the same kick a week before. He was 2-for-3 on the day and now stands at 6-for-9 on the season. He is also perfect on 16 extra points thus far.

The senior kicker made a 51-yarder to take back the lead late in the fourth quarter and seal the win for the Illini. This was Zalewskiâ€™s longest kick since 2012. He went 2-for-3 on field goals after missing three straight.

The Illinois wide receivers have been struggling. Quarterback Wes Lunt went 29-for-49 with just one touchdown. But the wide receivers struggled to make grabs and there was often a lack of communication and visible frustration on Lunt and head coach Bill Cubitâ€™s part.
