UI to rate classroom diversity grounds, beliefs and abilities. Instructors’ behavior also plays a role in the questions’ categorization; one question asks students to evaluate whether the instructor treated students with respect. The last category analyzes how well instructors understand diverse perspectives. The questions ask students whether the instructor encouraged students to think broadly on certain topics and viewpoints and encouraged discussion of controversial topics related to the course. Looking at the topic of diversity among students, Angela Wiscons a sophomore in Engineering, said she looks at the forms as a way for students to share their perspectives with the University. “I don’t know if fi lling out a form will help in general to address an issue, but if there is an issue if a certain group of people are feeling left out, maybe this form will help to get their voices out and heard,” said Wiscons. In terms of changing student perspective though, Jash Vora, freshman in Engineering, said he thinks the new questions will ultimately be ineffective among students who don’t accept different views. “I don’t think it’s going
DIXITA LIMBACHIA CONTRIBUTOR WRITER
The Center of Innovation Teaching and Learning expanded an aspect of the Instructor and Course Evaluation System, ICES, forms by including a new array of questions about diversity. CITL added 12 pilot questions to the ICES forms last semester, after several departments expressed interest in adding questions that addressed student perception of instructor and course diversity. Rajat Chadha, a CITL measurement specialist who revised and created the diversity questions, said the goal was to make students aware of the diversity on campus and in the professional world. “There is a lot of emphasis on the industry because it’s industries that hire our graduates and almost all the time they’re dealing with people from diverse backgrounds, countries, cultures, religions, political views, and beliefs,” Chadha said. “Basically, everything, and it’s highly important that we consider these democratic outcomes.” The 12 diversity questions are grouped into four main categories. The fi rst and second categories evaluate how the instructor promoted collaboration on work and discussion among students with different back-

More bike parking available BY ADAM KAZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Busy college students may take short cuts whenever possible. Sometimes it means a Sparknotes search, sometimes it’s microwave dinners. Sometimes it means rushed bicyclists will lock their bikes against nearby campus property rather than to the authorized bike parking stations. Improperly locked bicycles have been such an issue for the University that it recently used a grant to install new bike parking spaces around campus, said Stacey DeLorenzo, transportation department management coordinator for facilities and services. “We wanted to improve it
for a long time,” DeLorenzo said. “We didn’t have any funding so we put in a grant to the Student Sustainability Committee, and they issued us a grant back in

These additions are the result of the Transportation Demand Management’s desire to have fewer bikes parked against fences and more bikes parked in the designated places. Students who do not fi nd parking spaces readily available will sometimes resort to locking their bikes against fences, railings and other non-authorized campus property, said Morgan Johnston, associate director of sustainability within Facilities and

Illinois joins coalition to ease college applications BY DANIEL CORRY CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University has joined a national coalition public and private universities aimed at reducing high school students’ stress when they apply to college. The Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success announced a plan to improve the college application process for high school students on Sept. 28. The coalition will create a set of free online tools for high school students who are applying to college. Over 80 colleges are involved with the Coalition; Julie Peterson, spokeswoman for the coalition, said the schools believed working together would help them improve the application process. The coalition hopes to “recast the college admission process from something that is transactional and limited in time into a more engaged,
ongoing and educationally reaffirming experience,” according to a press release. According to the Coalition’s website, the schools created the new process because of research that showed students “from disadvantaged backgrounds” do not effectively get involved in the college application process. As a result, some of the most qualified high school students do not go on to college or complete their degrees. “The new platform will give students concrete tools to help them plan for college throughout high school, and then, later, to apply to specific schools,” Peterson said. The application will require students to provide information about their interests, self-reflections and recommendation letters. Students can then invite counselors, teachers and employers to review their application and offer
OPINIONS
advice. Additionally, students will be able to reach out to schools they’re applying to for guidance. These tools will help all students, but they will be especially helpful toward students at under-resourced schools who typically do not receive the same opportunities, Peterson said. The college planning tools will be available in January 2016 and the application will be available in June 2016 for students applying to college in fall 2017. J.B. Sandlund, senior at St. Charles East High School, said he thinks the new process will make the application process less stressful for students applying to college. “I feel like it gives everyone a much more fair chance to really express all of their abilities, talents to colleges,” he said.

Oregon sheriff advocates for gun rights BY MARISA GERBER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ROSEBURG, Ore. — Carolyn Kellim’s upper lip snarled to the left at the mention of gun control. “I think that’s the worst thing in the world that can happen,� said Kellim, 86, who runs KC’s Exchange gun shop out of her home. The words “2nd Amendment� are pasted in a decal onto her front door and there’s a Rifle Range Street nearby. In Roseburg, deer antlers line people’s driveways and locals hardly notice the pop-pop-pop of gunfire from nearby shooting ranges. “This is hunting territory,� Kellim said, smiling proudly. Her views about guns — and who should be able to buy them — didn’t change, she said, when a gunman shot and killed nine people and wounded at least nine others at Umpqua Community College not far from her home. The tone in Roseburg is different from most other communities. An ex-girlfriend of a surviving victim scoffed at the idea of tightening gun laws, and Kendra Godon, an elementary education student who hid from the shooting in a nearby classroom, said she hoped her community’s tragedy wouldn’t get spun
into the national debate about firearms. John Hanlin, Douglas County’s sheriff and the public face of the community since the shooting, is also an outspoken critic of increasing gun control. On his work biography, the broad-shouldered lawman who once attended Umpqua Community College lists three interests: fishing, riding his Harley and hunting. When Vice President Joe Biden asked for stricter gun laws after the Newtown killings, Hanlin decided to speak up. “Gun control is NOT the answer to preventing heinous crimes like school shootings,� Hanlin wrote in a letter to Biden posted on the Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page. Around the same time, Hanlin shared a conspiracy theory video about the Sandy Hook shooting on his Facebook page. This spring, Hanlin testified before Oregon lawmakers about legislation requiring background checks for private gun sales. He argued that the measure — which has since become law — would keep guns from criminals about as much as laws keep methamphetamine out of the hands of drug addicts.

When asked about his image as a Second Amendment advocate at a news conference Friday, Hanlin lowered his head.

However, for the most part, he said, bike parking isn’t too much of an issue. “I’m assuming there’s someone, somewhere who would say otherwise, but I
haven’t had a problem with it.” Even as the campus police begin to do more to combat the improper parking, the Transportation Demand Management still receives three to four calls a week about improperly parked bicycles. “It’s very frustrating. The first thing I do is eval-

out their careers. “We put a lot of emphasis on diversity in our education for a couple of reasons and that is to ensure desire democratic outcomes for students and addition to cognitive outcomes,” he
said. “We want our graduates to have high civic engagements and appreciation of diversity. We want students to have respect for diversity.”

Record floods kill 12 in S. Carolina BY NOAH BIERMAN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Even South Carolina residents who had been through Hurricane Hugo a quarter century ago said they have never seen anything like this, the deadly torrents that have crumbed roads, submerged houses and cars and killed nine people. “They’re saying it’s a oncein-1,000-year rainstorm, and I’m inclined to believe it,” said Sean Brennan, a real estate broker who had just checked on a colleague’s house in the state’s capital city of Columbia. “It looked like a river ran through it,” said Brennan. Even though the house was built four feet above ground, the water had come up nearly two feet into the garage, he said. The backyard was
a lake. Brennan was one of the few residents driving around Columbia on Monday, navigating detours among more than 550 roads and bridges that had been closed throughout the state. He said he believed 60 percent to 70 percent of his town’s residents would recover quickly. But others would suffer much longer. South Carolina Gov.

Vandals cause $24K in damages for National History Building DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
According to a University of Illinois Police Report, three University students were arrested around 9 p.m. Friday at the Natural History Building, 1301 W. Green St., for criminal damage to property and resisting a police officer. An officer responded to a call regarding men breaking windows. After the officers apprehended the offenders, one of the men involved in the damage admitted the group was involved in previous damage to the building. The damage was estimated to be at least $24,000,
and 12 double-pane windows were broken, among other items, according to the report. The Natural Histo ry Building has been a landmark at the University since 1892, according to LAS’ website. The building was closed for a $70 million renovation in May 2014. An additional $3 million was requested in August to complete the renovation. The project is expected to be complete in fall 2016, but the timeline is under review due to unforeseen problems.

California governor signs controversial assisted-suicide bill in California TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Caught between conflicting moral arguments, California Gov. Jerry Brown, a former Jesuit seminary student, on Monday signed a measure allowing physicians in the nation’s most populous state to prescribe lethal doses of drugs to terminally ill patients who want to hasten their deaths. Approving the bill, whose opponents included the Catholic Church, appeared to be a gutwrenching decision for the 77-year-old governor, who as a young man studied to enter the priesthood. “In the end, I was left to reflect on what I would want in the face of my own death,” Brown added. “I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating
pain. I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill. And I wouldn’t deny that right to others.” California becomes the fifth state to allow socalled assisted suicide, following Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont. The new law is modeled after Oregon’s. It permits physicians to provide lethal prescriptions to mentally competent adults who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and face the expectation that they will die within six months. The law will take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns its special session on health care, which may not be until next year. The earliest likely adjournment would be in January.

California fire funds goes unspent
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday announced plans to further crack down on illegal fishing, a global problem that can hurt both fishing communities in impoverished nations and the seafood industry in the United States. As part of a package of initiatives announced in a video message to participants at a major oceans conference in Chile, President Barack Obama announced new steps to tackle illegal fishing.
They include the launching of a program called “Sea Scout,” designed to increase cooperation among nations seeking to identify and prosecute illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing around the globe. Experts say the problem is extensive around the world. The Pew Charitable Trusts said the issue is difficult to quantify, but that experts estimate that illegal and unreported fishing cost the global economy up to $23 billion annually.

WALLY SKALII TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
A news crew runs from flames southeast of Middletown, Calif., on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2015, as winds kick up the Valley fire. BY JIM MILLER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Amid a drought that has created bone-dry conditions across much of California’s wildland area, a state fire prevention account has ended recent fiscal years with tens of millions of dollars unspent. The money has been generated by a contentious, 4 -year- old fee pushed through by Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative Democrats over the objections of Republicans and rural property owners. The state collected more than $300 million through June and spent about $260 million, including roughly $228 million on administration and statewide prevention activities, vegetation clearing, defensible space inspections and other programs. About $22 million went to a state tax agency to cover collection costs. But as fires burned hundreds of thousands of acres this year, the state ended the fiscal year in June with
an estimated $43 million in fee money left over. “We made a lot of people in the Legislature take a vote on this fee that they never really liked. But then to collect the money and just sit on it, and not deploy it in ways to help make those communities safer, is just silly,” said Paul Mason, vice president of policy and incentives at Pacific Forest Trust, a forest protection group. More than 8 0 0,0 0 0 property owners pay the fee, most of them $117.33 a year for each habitable structure. The money is intended to support fire prevention activities in the almost onethird of California where the state has the primary firefighting responsibility. Nearly three-quarters of the 31 million-acre area — mostly privately owned watershed, rangeland and forested areas outside city limits — presents a very high or high fire risk. In the devastating Valley and Butte fires, state
responsibility lands made up more than 80 percent of the areas burned. As of Friday, the Valley fire in Lake County had burned more than 76,000 acres, and destroyed 1,958 homes and other structures. The Butte fire in the Sierra foothills had burned 71,000 acres and destroyed 475 homes. Authorities have confirmed the deaths of four people in the Valley fire and two in the Butte fire. Statewide since January, more than 5,300 fires have torched almost 300,000 acres, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The toll would have been worse without activities and projects funded by the fire-prevention fee, state officials said. Yet officials said they have proceeded cautiously in spending the prevention fee money because they were not sure how much money the charge would bring in. “Given the fact that it’s a
relatively new fund, there’s not a long track record on receipts. We do want to maintain a prudent reserve for unforeseen circumstances,” Department of Finance spokesman H.D. Palmer said. The fund’s reserve, however, is much higher than that of the typical special fund. The fire fund began the current fiscal year with reserves totaling more than half of the prevention money the fee produced last year. By comparison, state special funds’ total reserves averaged about one-quarter of annual revenue in 2014-15. The state’s multibilliondollar general fund ended June with reserves of just 3.5 percent. Republican state Sen. Jim Nielsen, who sits on the budget subcommittee that oversees Cal Fire, rejected the idea that the fire fund’s large reserve reflects prudence. “They’re hoarding it,” he said. “What for, I don’t know.”
BEIRUT — A Russian fighter jet breached Turkish air space this weekend, prompting Ankara to scramble F-16 fighters and issue a stern warning, Turkish authorities said Monday. According to a statement from the Foreign Ministry in Ankara, the Russian jet crossed into the nation’s airspace on Saturday above Turkey’s southern province of Hatay, which borders Syria. The Russian jet exited Turkish skies after it was intercepted by a pair of Turkish air force F-16s, the statement said. The incident marks the first reported violation since Russian warplanes began operations last week in support of the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and drew quick criticism from U.S. and other NATO officials. In Madrid for a visit, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said the Pentagon was in contact with Turkey and the North Atlan-
tic Treaty Organization concerning protest of the violation and how to guard against future incursions. Russia’s airstrikes in Syria, now in its sixth day, are only inflaming an already volatile situation, Carter said while at Spain’s Ministry of Defense in downtown Madrid. “Right now, they’re way off track,” he said. NATO member Turkey is the alliance’s eastern bulwark. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg met with Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu and convened a meeting to discuss the situation. “I urge Russia to take the necessary steps to align its efforts with those of the international community in the fight against ISIL,” Stoltenberg said in a statement, using an acronym for Islamic State, the al-Qaida breakaway faction that controls vast stretches of Syria and neighboring Iraq.
Study: Wildlife thriving in region around Chernobyl plant TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Wildlife thriving in region around Chernobyl nuclear power plant, study says A new study of wildlife in the radiation-contaminated Chernobyl exclusion zone has found that many large mammal populations — elk, roe deer, red deer, wild boar and wolves — seem to be thriving. The findings, published in the journal Current Biology, hint that when it comes to threats to wildlife, a nuclear disaster may actually be less harmful than human encroachment. The research may also help scientists understand
the effects on wildlife from other such disasters, such as the 2011 meltdown of Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the then Soviet Union was among the world’s most catastrophic nuclear disasters. An explosion and a fire at the plant released a plume of radioactive material into the atmosphere, spreading over several countries and triggering the permanent evacuation of an estimated 116,000 people from the 1,622-square-mile Chernobyl exclusion zone.

EDITORIAL Improving biking etiquette can make campus safer for all
T
he running joke on campus that it’s more likely for a pedestrian to be hit by a bike than a car is not far from the truth. On our large campus with limited parking, bikes are the transportation of choice for plenty of students trying to get from one end of campus to the other in a short amount of time. The University’s annual bike census shows how popular it is to get by on two wheels. Facilities and Services counted 5,657 bikes on campus in October of 2014, and added 600 bike parking spaces since June to accommodate the high numbers. Choosing this form of transportation obviously has its advantages. For students, it’s cheap, easy and convenient. And not many students can afford paying $660 a year on parking. It’s also a sustainable alternative to taking a bus or car and helps reduce our carbon footprint. Like anything, the increase in bikes has also posed some challenges. An overflow of bikes and a lack of spaces to park bikes in some areas has the potential to cause fire hazards when the owners park them on unauthorized places like on fences or railings. It can also cause some dangers while people are crossing the street — and we’ve all seen the occasional pile up. Keeping up with the growth both in infrastructure and culture is important to encourage the cheap and sustainable transportation on a large campus. The bike census shows a keen awareness of the importance of biking on our campus and an effort to make biking easier for those who rely on it. The 600 new parking spaces along with the addition of widespread, safe bike lanes makes the biking culture on campus safer for riders and pedestrians alike. Giving both pedestrians and bikers their own designated, distinct spaces will create a safer traveling environment overall. As the infrastructure improves, we need to improve our campus culture for bikes both on the side of pedestrian and rider. There is a certain animosity between bikers and pedestrians that isn’t going to go away without reaching a consensus. Pedestrians need to look up from their phones and cross bikes lanes exercising the same caution they would use to cross the street and avoid walking in bike lanes. In areas without bike lanes, they should avoid walking multiple people across to make it easier for bikers to pass. It is a two lane street. Bikers should be wary of speeding through high traffic areas like the Quad and should follow the same traffic laws as everyone else. In areas with pedestrians, bikers should exercise caution. They should slow down when they pass people on the sidewalk or Quad as well as alert them with by ringing a bell, honking a horn or with a verbal warning like “I’m on your left.” As the physical campus itself becomes more bike-friendly, it will be easier for both bikers and pedestrians to reach an understanding.

T
he last episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart aired on Aug. 6. Stewart passed on the torch after 16 years of hosting. His successor, Trevor Noah aired his first episode on Monday and, like Stewart, Noah hosted a show filled with comedy engaging with current politics and international affairs. Both declared a “war on bullshit,” which has resonated with the younger demographic of the U.S. The Daily Show has found a way to engage young generations with the every day politics of this country through its satire and comedy; furthermore, it has taken its connection with the young audience a step further with its new, young South African host. Our generation — the people who make up this younger audience — seeks information through different mediums; we are no longer waiting for the traditional nightly news host to inform us, but instead are looking at diverse sources that question government actions in order to formulate our own opinion. Lester Holt, the first African-American solo anchor of NBC’s weekday network nightly newscast, stated, “It’s important that people turn on the TV and see people
who look like themselves.” Young Americans want their struggles and stories to be explained to the rest of the country in order to make the issue matter beyond their smaller community. By having hosts and anchors that we can connect to, be it because of their age, ethnicity or gender, we are brought closer to the anchors, and are probably more likely to tune into their show and listen to what they have to say. It brings us a connection to the news. The younger and very diverse American generations are looking for personalities whom they can relate to and who discuss important issues, not only because the audience needs to hear about them but because they also affect them. If the news we consume comes from a diverse group, we will easily gain different perspective and better understand the difficulties that others face. We can learn to understand the struggles by hearing it from people who are affected,
instead of having someone trying to interpret what they think a community is struggling through. Many of these diverse or satirical shows are less afraid to tackle the big issues like racism, immigration and gender inequality. They analyze and confront the important problems that sometimes lack attention in other networks.They are able to convey the opinion of those who have been marginalized. Trevor Noah, as the new host of The Daily Show, used his status as an immigrant and African to express his opinion on some current political issues. As a young man of color, Noah can attract minorities, immigrants and young college students who might not be so familiar with the Daily Show. Noah isn’t alone; Rachel Maddow has received much praise for her show on MSNBC which debuted in 2008. She joined a political spectrum that had been dominated by white men for long time. As a woman, she has the ability to give an opin-

ion on women’s, LGBTQ and political issues that are influenced by her personal experience. Not only do we need a diverse ethnic and cultural staff, but we need more intelligent, strong, female hosts as well. They can address the debates on equalpay and health care that directly affect women. When I turn on the TV to hear about women’s struggle with equal pay, abortion laws, or education the news will resonate more with me if there is a woman explaining the issues. A diverse staff can more effectively bring about a different audience and also spread the information the show strives to disperse into more communities. We still need to see this transition occur on network news sources. There has to be a connection between the viewers and the personality on the program. By diversifying news programs, whether they are traditional or satirical, we open the channels of communication with larger and more diverse communities. One person has many ways of appealing to their audience in a personal way, but if we only have white men explaining the news and arguing for certain issues, then a less diverse American population will be able to connect to the personality on the TV screen.

BYE, BYE AMERICAN APPAREL American Apparel (or rich hipster paradise) has officially filed for bankruptcy. Obviously in this day and age it’s sad to see any business fail, but at the same time, nobody should be overly gutted over the loss of golden body suits and overpriced tube socks. The only thing worth missing is those comfy hoodies Justin Bieber used to wear exclusively in purple — but losing the brand overall is nothing to be sore over.

Witnessing all of the drama and failed love on The Bachelor makes everyone rightfully dubious of the show’s concept — and appalled by its success. But now, we have to talk about the fact that two women who were on the last season of The Bachelor are willingly subjecting themselves to another round. Becca Tilley and Amber James both were on Chris Soules’ season and will be returning to compete for Ben Higgins’ heart in this 20th season. Can’t they just try out Tinder?

At a school that is rumored to have the busiest Chipotle in the country, it’s easy to say that people are crazy about their burrito bowls here. Following the chain’s typical Halloween tradition, this year, if you show up to Chipotle wearing a costume with something “unnecessary,” (like cat ears or a clown nose) you will be met with two things: A line out of the door and a burrito bowl, salad or taco dish discounted to only three dollars. Sounds like a treat better than candy!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hispanic Heritage Month: A Time for Empowerment This month, our country celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s an important occasion every year but one that feels particularly pertinent this year, as the presidential race escalates conversations about immigration and what it means to be American. As I reflect on this moment in our national dialogue, I can’t help but fixate on those too often left out of it. Today, Latino students do not have the opportunities to excel at the highest level. Our generation has a role to play in changing this. My own path to the University was an unlikely one. According to the statistics, few kids who look like me or come from where I do make it to our university’s hallowed halls, let alone to graduation day. As the first in my family to don a cap and gown, I ran into barrier after barrier — financial,
academic, deeply personal. Without a guiding light or voice to show me the way, at low moments, I questioned what was possible. As graduation approached, those moments were at the front of my mind. As I thought about what I wanted to do, I wondered if I might help other kids charting this path for the first time stay on it. I had lived that reality firsthand. Maybe I could be a part of addressing it. I joined Teach For America, moved to Texas and met my students. My seventh and eighth graders faced major challenges in their daily lives. I was there. I could certainly relate to their experiences. And as I set about to equip my students with the skills they’d need to make it to a place like the University of Illinois, I treaded softly. Watching my own
friends, I knew that for lowincome students of color, a tiny mistake can lead to a massive derailment. So I tried to get involved well beyond the classroom, working with sports teams, afterschool clubs, and any other supportive environment we could come up with. Along the way, a heavy reality weighed on my mind. With so few Latino men in teaching, I knew there was a chance I might be the only Hispanic male teacher my students would ever have. Knowing this, we chose our subjects of study carefully — from Cesar Chavez to Cesar Romero. I also shared my own story more honestly than I had ever intended to. I confessed my fears, my missteps, the dark moments and the motivators that saw me through. I loved being the person that my students
can look up to as someone that was once in their shoes, and helped demonstrate to them that even though the world can be harsh and unfair, change is possible. This Hispanic Heritage Month, I hope we’ll think boldly about what it would take to change the realities facing our Latino students. I hope we’ll feel a responsibility to be a part of building a world where race, class and zip code are no longer the determinants of access to opportunity. More than anything, I hope we’ll recognize the opportunities that the University opened for us and commit to paying them forward — as teachers, mentors, activists, and believers in what’s possible. Our students won’t let us down.
Steven Walsh, 2011 University graduate

SOCIAL TIES bers sit and simply engage in conversation with the residents because it can have a great benefit. “Our target population is people who don’t get enough meaningful activities in their life,” said Gore, the program’s recruitment chair. “We’re trying to fill that gap with our activities.” Although residents may receive around the clock medical attention, Gore said they may struggle to form relationships. In addition, they also might need something to get them back into a routine. “Because of all the changes that are occurring in their life, like they may have just recently retired or lost a loved one, they need to find things to replace their old activities,” Gore said. Members of Social Ties also try to help the residents fulfill everyday tasks
that may be difficult for them on their own. “Our activities are really focused on being able to work for any sort of disability that these people may have,” Gore said. “For some people, they have really bad arthritis, so simply working with playdough is very therapeutic because it’s soft to the touch, and they get to move their hands.” Right now, the program primarily works at an adult daycare center called Circle of Friends, located in Champaign. However, they are looking to expand their program to include more residence homes, types of activities and volunteers. Downey explained how they would like to expand their program to best benefit the individuals they work with. “We were hoping to get in contact with different (registered student organizations) who were interested or doing different fun (activities) with them,” she said. “We would like to branch out and do any-

thing. We were thinking of doing a stand-up night or karaoke.” The program is also looking to help out at more residence homes in the Champaign-Urbana community in order to “get out there and make impactful changes in the community,” as Downey put it. But the most important part of this expansion process is recruiting more people to be a part of the program. “We are looking for people to get involved, whether they just want to come and volunteer with us or be on our leadership team because we are looking to expand to make this a sustainable group,” she said. Overall, Gore said she hopes Social Ties can create meaningful interactions between the residents and members. “We’re hopefully creating connections and also filling their day with things they find meaningful,” Gore said.

Man finds fame for abandoned dog train BY DOMINGO RAMIREZ JR. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FORTH WORTH, Tex. — Doggone it, Wally loves his ride. So do Buddy, Daisy, Jack, Mickey, Ms. Nell, Chubby, Bonnie and Clyde, all former stray dogs who belong to 80-year-old Eugene Bostick of Fort Worth. The ride, which Bostick built himself, has made the retired Union Pacific railroad employee and his pups viral superstars. After a video appeared on BuzzFeed recently, Bostick and his dog train have attracted thousands of views and calls from all over the country. “We got a call from New York one morning telling us the video had gone viral,” Patricia Bostick, Eugene Bostick’s wife. “The phone hasn’t stopped ringing.” All for a dog train built with 55-gallon fiberglass barrels. Twice a week, with the help of his 87-year-old brother, Walter “Corky” Bostick, Eugene Bostick cranks up his John Deere riding mower, uncovers the cars on the train and takes his nine pups on an hour-long ride. “Oh, they just love it,” Corky Bostick said. “Every time he takes the covers off, they start jumping and barking, ready for the ride.” The dogs seem to have
a great time, barking and looking around as if they’re taking in the scenery. Eugene Bostick has had the train for about 15 years, since an idea hit him when he was out deer hunting with a friend. “He (the friend) had one of those barrels and used it to haul rocks,” Bostick said. “I had been using a trailer hooked up to my riding mower to take the dogs for a ride. I thought I could make cars for the dogs, put wheels on them and drive them around.” It worked. The Bosticks have plenty of room for the train tour on their 11 acres just north of the Sycamore Creek municipal golf course southeast of downtown Fort Worth. The Bosticks collected the dogs over the years as strays were abandoned around the property, which is on deadend streets, or elsewhere. One stray is named Wally because he was found in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Two dogs stay in the house, two are allowed in the yard, and five stay in a horse barn. The dog train is stationed near Eugene Bostick’s home. Each car is furnished with pillows, and there is assigned seating. Elderly Buddy sits right
behind Eugene Bostick, while rowdy Bonnie and Clyde ride in the last two cars. Jack and Mickey go together in Car 3. (Mickey was under the weather the day a reporter visited, so he didn’t make the trip.) Wally, in Car 4, has the loudest bark. Eugene Bostick hooks a wooden ramp to the cars to help some of the older dogs get in. Bonnie and Clyde, sister and brother, have been known to jump out, so he uses leashes to keep them in the cars. “The rest have always stayed in their cars for the entire ride,” he said. The dogs are not the only recipients of the Bosticks’ kindness. Every day the brothers feed and water goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, fish, cats, squirrels, raccoons and coyotes. They leave out food for more than 30 animals, depending on the season. The dog train is a passion for Eugene Bostick, who is out with the dogs every week, even if there’s a little snow on the ground. But he doesn’t go out in thunderstorms. “Oh, I’m in good health,” Eugene Bostick said. “So I guess I’ll be driving them around for as long as I can.”

The jazz band, The Internet, performs for fans at The Canopy Club on Thursday.
The Internet brings the jazz The Canopy Club breaks from norm with jazz, soul collective FRANCES WELCH Staff writer
It
goes without saying that The Canopy Club manages to book and promote a pretty diverse bill of artists each month; some acts are more surprising than others, considering certain artists’ large followings (Young the Giant, Young Thug) and the rather unknown following of ChampaignUrbana (pretty much anyone outside of Illinois). Known for its attraction to hiphop, EDM and jam bands, The Canopy Club very rarely books — even
strays away from — acts that lean toward the more rock, alternative, soul, jazzy, side of the music world which is more of a Highdive, Champaign type of deal. But that wasn’t the case on Thursday night. To ring in the first day of October, The Canopy Club graced Urbana with the neo-soul, alternative R&B, jazz collective, The Internet. After my 15 years of living here, it was quite possibly the best show I’ve ever seen in this town. Touring their latest record, “Ego Death,” frontwoman Syd the Kyd made it incredibly easy to vibe to the album and sing along, no matter if you’ve listened to the album 100 times or not at all. This was also the case with the songs performed from their two previous records,
“Feel Good” and “Purple Naked Ladies”. The entire band’s attitude was relaxed and casual. They weren’t trying to impress with a trendy wardrobe or a distracting stage setup. They weren’t trying to visually captivate — it was clear this wasn’t their goal. They were seducing their audience by transporting them into the soul that their music radiates. The Internet has perfectly incorporated jazz into their mixture of soul and R&B. Founding members, Syd the Kyd and Matt Martians, have done so by having some of the most amazingly talented touring members — you would think by the chemistry that they all had, this band was older than four years old. It is without a doubt that these
musicians have been playing music their entire lives. Drummer Christopher Smith, clearly has some jazz background, and if he doesn’t, he fooled me; one of the best live drummers I have ever heard. But to exclude keyboardist Jameel Bruner and bassist Midtown Pat wouldn’t be right. Those guys are amazing. The three each took their own solo to show off their jazz roots. With the looks of The Canopy Club doing some renovations, as the canopy murals have been covered by long drapes of fabric and dimly lit blue light-boxes, the night was a jazz-induced, soul club experience. A perfect way to ring in the new month.

Injury likely to sit Ferguson Senior running back waiting results from doctor’s visit BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

Illinois running back Josh Ferguson takes off down the field after breaking through the line of scrimmage during Saturday’s game against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium.
Power rankings DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Editor’s note: Every week, The Daily Illini football staff ranks the football teams in the Big Ten 1-14 and compiles the lists into its own Big Ten power rankings.
1. OHIO STATE (LAST WEEK: 1)
The Buckeyes survived another threat to their perfect season, this time in Bloomington, Indiana. Ezekiel Elliot scored on touchdown runs of 55, 65 and 75 yards in the second half and Ohio State beat Indiana 34-27.
3. NORTHWESTERN (4)
The Wildcats want to show the rest of the Big Ten that they are the real deal. Clayton Thorson threw for 128 yards and rushed for 24 yards and two touchdowns as Northwestern’s defense put on another dominant performance in the team’s 27-0 win over Minnesota.
4. IOWA (5)
Desmond King had a pair of interceptions and the Hawkeyes defense forced two more turnovers in Iowa’s 10-6 win over Wisconsin in Madison. Iowa beat a ranked opponent for the first time in 10 games and it was the first time since 2007 that Iowa won without scoring in the second half.
5. MICHIGAN (6)
Desmond Morgan had an interception and nine tackles against Maryland and the Wolverines defense forced three interceptions in its 28-0 win. Jake Rudock threw for 180 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and Michigan rushed for 198 yards in the win.
6. WISCONSIN (3) Joel Stave had a game to forget. The Wisconsin quarterback threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles, including one midway through the fourth quarter on Iowa’s one-yard line, in the Badgers’ 10-6 loss to the Hawkeyes. 7. ILLINOIS (10)
Fourth time was the charm for quarterback Wes Lunt and wide receiver Geronimo Allison. After running three unsuccessful passes inside the five-yard-line, Lunt threw a one-yard touchdown to Allison with 10 seconds left to give the Illini a 14-13 win over the Cornhuskers.
8. PENN STATE (9)
Christian Hackenberg passed for 82 of his 156 yards on a three-play drive in the third quarter when he scored his lone touchdown in Penn State’s 20-14 win over Army. The Nittany Lions’ defense forced seven fumbles and recovered three.

2. MICHIGAN STATE (2)
Purdue almost pulled off the unthinkable in East Lansing on Saturday. Connor Cook threw for 139 yards and one touchdown and LJ Scott ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Spartans held off the Boilermakers 24-21.
The injury bug has bitten another key offensive player on the Illinois football team. Running back Josh Ferguson is very likely to miss Saturday’s game against Iowa after injuring his right shoulder against Nebraska. With just over four minutes left in the first quarter, he took a handoff from quarterback Wes Lunt and ran to his left for a couple yards before Cornhuskers’ linebacker Chris Weber hit his helmet on Ferguson’s right shoulder. The senior running back stayed on the ground for a moment before getting up and trotting to the Illini sideline, holding his shoulder. Illinois’ trainers looked at it and decided to take Ferguson to the locker room for examination. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game
and returned to the sideline without his jersey in the second half. Head coach Bill Cubit said Ferguson went to the doctor’s office Monday afternoon to check the extent of the injury and that he was very doubtful that the senior would play. “He’s very disappointed,” Cubit said. “He knows he’s an integral part of this offense. He’s going to miss being out there to help the football team.” Cubit and his staff had to scrap a majority of the offensive plays they planned on using because of the Ferguson’s injury — the original plan was to use a two-running back formation. The offensive set had been used successfully on the drive before Ferguson’s injury when the senior ripped off a 48-yard run and

The University of Illinois junior was able to snag tickets for the wild card play-in game between the Cubs and Pirates on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh. There was only one problem. He has an exam the following day and it’s an eight-hour drive from Pittsburgh back to Champaign.

I contacted Larson, and asked if he thought there was any chance of his professor saying yes. “He seemed like a really good guy, so I figured it was worth a shot,” Larson said. “Why not? Maybe he’d surprise me.” In one of the most heroic turn of events since the dawn of time — the professor said yes, and moved the exam to accommodate Larson. The junior took to Twitter to announce the news. This professor deserves to be paraded through campus on a golden throne fit for a king.
If you’re reading this, Mr. Amazing professor man — or ‘Dave’ — please contact me so I can personally thank you, shake your hand and buy you a bejeweled crown to wear for the rest of your life for being the greatest instructor in the history of ever. Even though he’s a south-sider, Barack Obama owes this professor a call for his heroic deed. As a die-hard Cubs fan since birth, this game means the world to me as well. In case you’ve been living underneath a rock — the Cubs are good this year. The team won 97 games in the regular season. The franchise has only matched or bettered that mark twice since the end of the second World War. The lovable losers will put their magical ride on the line Wednesday night for all the marbles. Nine innings — for the sake of my own health, I hope it doesn’t go any longer than that — to decide who gets to keep playing October baseball, and who has to go home. Thankfully for Chicago Cubs’ fans everywhere, our newest good luck charm, Ben Larson, will be in attendance. Bring out your billy goats — heck, call Steve Bartman — it doesn’t matter. We’ve got Ben Larson on our side. Don’t believe in divine
intervention? Well, you should now. It’s easier for a camel to pass though the eye of a needle than it is to get a University of Illinois professor to change his or her exam policy. Seriously. Unless you lose a limb or come down with a bad case of the plague — U of I professors have almost no sympathy when it

But this guy got his exam moved for a baseball game. Call it whatever you want, but that’s truly something spectacular. One thing I’ve learned in my years of being a Cubs loyalist is that the north-siders can always fi nd a way to break your
heart. Yet no matter what, just like Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends — you’ll keep coming back. Because darling, they’re a nightmare dressed like a daydream. You, like Taylor, love the players. And like her ex-boyfriends, you love the game as well. Putting T-Swizzle lyrics aside, these Cubbies just always keep you coming back even after they break your heart into 1,000 little pieces. This year might just be different. If you believe in magic like Cubs’ manager Joe Maddon does, then maybe you know what I mean. This year’s ride has been un-like any other. This team just always fi nds a way to win. Ben Larson’s story only betters my argument. The Cubs have magic working on their side. Any team can have a bad century, right? It’s time to put an end to the miserable, 107 year World Series drought. It all starts Wednesday at 7:08 p.m. With Jake Arrieta on the bump and Ben Larson in the stands, the Cubs will be just fi ne Wednesday night. Thank you, Professor Dave. You’re the real MVP.

9. INDIANA (11)
The Hoosiers were close to pulling off the upset against the Buckeyes. Indiana’s defense forced four fumbles and intercepted Cardale Jones inside the Hoosiers’ 15-yard line. Quarterback Nate Sudfeld and running back Jordan Howard both left the game with ankle injuries.
10. MINNESOTA (7) The Golden Gophers failed to gain any type of offensive momentum against the Wildcats. Minnesota only had 173 total offensive yards and its defense had a hard time shutting down Northwestern’s offense in the 27-0 loss. 11. NEBRASKA (8)
It seemed like the Cornhuskers would escape Champaign with a win. But Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw an incomplete pass on fourth down and gave Illinois the opportunity to win the game in the last minute — the third time this season Nebraska has lost on its opponents’ last drive.
12. PURDUE (14)
The Boilermakers had a chance to pull off an upset against the Spartans in the last minute. But a pass on fourth down fell incomplete and Purdue lost 2421. David Blough threw for 136 yards and Markell Jones ran for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
13. MARYLAND (12)
Caleb Rowe threw three interceptions in Maryland’s 28-0 loss to Michigan and was replaced by Oklahoma State transfer Daxx Garman. The Terrapins rushed for 29 yards in the blowout.
14. RUTGERS (13)
The Scarlet Knights had a bye week but fell in the rankings because of Purdue’s near upset of Michigan State. Rutgers ranks 10th in the Big Ten in total defense and fourth in the league in total offense but has a 2-2 overall record and sits at 0-1 in the conference.

Harsh weather complicates soccer Despite extra workload, Illinois keeping up with time BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois soccer team (8-2-2) has played a lot of extra unscheduled minutes as of late. Friday’s 1-1 tie with Ohio State marked the third double-overtime game Illinois has played this season. The team has already tied the amount of double-overtime games it played last year and there are six games left in the regular season. Despite the extra workload Illinois has to deal with, head coach Janet Rayfield believes the team is keeping up with the additional playing time. “I think it’s holding up really well,” Rayfield said. “We’re still running, we’re still making runs, we’re recovering defensively, and we’re still doing the things that we need to do at the end of 110 minutes and to me that says that at an endurance perspective we can last 110 minutes.” Even though Illinois has been able to last in overtime play, it has only finished victorious in one of the three double overtime games. Illinois defeated Maryland on Sept. 27, but tied with Indiana on Sept. 18 and tied with Ohio State

on Friday. Rayfield would like to see Illinois improve their quality of minutes played in future overtime matches. “I think the quality in that 110 minutes can still improve,” Rayfield said. “As you get more game fit, you hope that quality goes from the start to the finish. I thought tonight it wasn’t a let down of endurance, it was just from the start to the finish, couldn’t find the quality that we needed to find. “
Friday’s conditions difficult for Illinois Unless Illinois had several industrial-sized fans readily available at practice last week, there wasn’t much the team could do to prepare for Friday’s windy conditions. The wind speed was roughly 17 miles per hour at the opening kickoff and decreased to around 15 mph by the end of the game. Despite not being able to control the weather during practice, Illinois made the best attempt it could to simulate Friday’s forecasted weather. Rayfield said during practice coaches would play unpredictable balls that the players would have
to adjust to. It was a way to challenge the team for Friday’s game, but not the most ideal method. “We knew it was coming, we knew it was going to be windy tonight,” goalkeeper Claire Wheatley said. “I don’t know if you can really prepare for the wind. It’s a game time thing. The wind could have changed at halftime and we would have had to adjust.” By Friday night’s opening kick at 6 p.m., Champaign was experiencing some harsh weather conditions. The temperature was 62 degrees and the 17 mph wind speeds made it feel even colder. By the end of the game the temperature dropped to about 56 degrees. While the weather also might have made a few players uncomfortable, it wasn’t enough to affect Wheatley. After Friday’s game, Wheatley reminisced about the time she lost a chunk of her finger in the Sweet 16 of the 2013 NCAA tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska. “I got frostbite and lost a bit of my finger,” Wheatley said. “I got off at halftime and I looked at it and there was a chunk missing and it wasn’t bleeding. It was just frozen.”

Women wheelchair coach has done it all BY THOMAS POLCYN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Growing up in North Carolina, Stephanie Wheeler was attached to basketball at a young age. Wheeler is the head coach of the Illinois women’s wheelchair basketball team. During her time as head coach, the team has accomplished a lot. The team made a run to the national championship at the end of last season but lost in a tough game to the University of Alabama by seven points. “If you grow up (in North Carolina) it’s just kind of ingrained in you that you
love basketball,” Wheeler said. “I loved it the first time I saw the game.” W heeler discovered wheelchair basketball when she was 12 years old. Once she got into it she never looked back. Before she got into coaching, Wheeler played on the wheelchair basketball team at the University from 2005-2009, followed by a short stint at Alabama. She excelled at Illinois and was part of two gold-medalwinning Paralympic games teams for Team USA in 2004 and 2008. After her playing career was over, Wheeler quick-
ly got into the coaching game. Her first coaching job was in 2009 where she was an assistant coach for the wheelchair basketball team at Alabama. Shortly after she was recruited by Illinois, she would get her first head-coaching job for the Illini women’s wheelchair basketball team. Illinois is not the only team that has recognized her success — she also is a key component of the Team USA coaching staff. She was the head-coach of the under-25 national team in 2011. Then in 2013, she was named the head coach for the senior
national team. “When I got this job at Illinois I knew that since I was involved with Team USA as a player I wanted to continue to stay involved with it,” Wheeler said. “I loved the high level we competed at, and I wanted to experience it as a coach.” The job had a vacancy after the Paralympic games in 2012, and thanks to her many qualifications she landed the job. Under Wheeler, the United States national team trains at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs. Competitions are sometimes held there, but

“I thought we had some really strong races.”
Feeling pressured, the Orange team, led by assistant coach Alec Hayden, attempted a minicomeback towards the end of the meet and won the final three events. Senior Jessica Clifford won the 1-meter dive with 200.60 points, and the relay team of freshman Gabriele Serniute, junior Audrey Rodawig, freshman Megan Vuong and Stratford won the 200 free relay in 1:37.08. The last-minute comeback wasn’t enough to snatch victory from the Blue team and prevented the Illini to repeat as intrasquad champions. Novitsky said she knows how difficult it can be to be pitted against your own teammates, but she said she believes that the positives greatly outweigh the negatives when it comes down to it. “It’s hard to race against your teammates, but it does give (the team) the chance to get the initial nerves out of the way,” she said. “To be able to race in a safe environment adds to that effect, so that two weeks from now when we are up on the blocks against three other teams, we have to be ready to put together some really good races.”

the team gets the opportunity to travel globally to compete. “This past summer we went to Toronto for the PanAm games, we’ve gone to Germany, and are going to be making a trip back to Europe for next summer,” Wheeler said. “We’ll be all over the place.

FERGUSON freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn followed the next drive with a nineyard run. Vaughn didn’t seem to feel the added pressure. The freshman ran for 80 yards against Middle Tennessee State and didn’t disappoint against Nebraska. Vaughn ran for 98 yards, 48 of which came on a run at the end of the first half. His rushing total was the most by a freshman running back since Donnovon Young ran for 100 in 2011. The outlook of Ferguson looks positive, but in the meantime, the players and coaching staff have confidence in their four-star recruit from Tennessee. “We have complete confidence in him,” Lunt said. “He’s gotten a ton of reps ... it’ll be a fun experience for him in a difficult environment but he’ll be ready.”
Five minutes of confusion There were a few moments when Cubit and the Big Ten referees didn’t get along during Saturday’s game, but one moment stuck out the most. The confusion happened at the start of the second half. Lunt threw a pass to wide receiver Geronimo Allison, whose foot went out of bounds on Illinois’ 34-and-a-half yard line. Vaughn ran on the next play because Illinois was one yard short and got the ball to the 38-yard line for what should’ve been an Illinois first down. The down markers displayed first down, but the chains were set at the 25- and 35-yard lines. Vaughn ran
taking the Illinois women’s team to the national championship last year. “We saw them through losing games by 30 points, to developing and them taking an intentional approach to how they’re developing, and then all the way to them making it to the national championship game, which is pretty huge,” Wheeler said. For this season the team looks to improve its all around game every single day. The team goal is to get back to the national championship and win it.

the next play for six yards to the 48, followed by a loss of four. On third down, Allison caught a pass just short of the 45. The referees then looked at the replay and awarded Nebraska the ball on a turnover on downs because they believed the chains were correct and thought it was fourth down, but it was actually third. As a result, Nebraska received the ball. The Collegiate Officiating Consortium released a press release Monday blaming a breakdown in officiating mechanics. The groups acknowledged the mistake and said Illinois would have had another down if the drive was correctly officiated. Cubit was furious with the call because he likely would’ve punted on fourth down but acknowledged that mistakes happen during his weekly press conference. “They have a hard job, especially with the speed of the game,” Cubit said on Monday. “I think the Big Ten officiating is outstanding ... We all make mistakes.” Sticking through difficult times Cubit didn’t give up on Malik Turner against Nebraska. The sophomore wide receiver dropped a few key passes earlier in the game, but that didn’t deter Cubit from choosing him for the game’s biggest pass. Lunt threw a 50-yard pass to Turner in the final minute of the game and helped set up the game-winning touchdown to Allison. “’Malik, you got one shot at this big guy, you have to make the play’ and he did,” Cubit said. “He wasn’t playing really well but he got it when it counted.”

‘Big Pond’ hurting Illini at away games “Coming into smaller rinks, we just have to play simple,” Cruickshank said. “A lot of times we try to do a little too much and ended up having a large amount of turnovers. We just get pucks deep and make the defense pivot, put pressure on them to make mistakes and create opportunities.”
BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER
The Illinois hockey team can put up big numbers in the offensive zone, scoring six goals or more in three of its first six games. Who scores those goals, however, varies for the Illini. Out of the 24 nongoaltender position players on Illinois’ active roster, 13 have already scored a goal and 18 have registered a point so far this season. Only five players have more than one goal — junior Josh Belmont leads the team with four, while sophomores Grant Stueve and Eric Cruickshank each have three. “I’d definitely say a strength of our team is our depth,” senior John Olen said. “We’ve a good mix of young talent and a couple veterans we can lean on time to time. Almost everyone on this team can put the puck in the net.”
Defense to Offense Even with injuries to starting defensemen Joey Caprio and Aaron Dusek, the Illini defensive zone managed not only to allow two total goals in two games but also to contribute a substantial amount on the offensive front. Illini defensemen Austin Zima and Connor Robbs both tallied a goal against Alabama this weekend, giving Zima his third point of the season. Out of the four listed defensemen on the Illinois roster that have played in all six games, two have scored at least one goal and all have registered at least one point. “Our defense does a great job chipping in offensively by moving their feet and getting floor checks,” said head coach Nick Fabbrini. “When we’re turning pucks over and using our speed to get it into the offensive zone, that’s when we’re at our best.”

It’s no secret the Illini love their home ice advantage, making opponents cover 30 extra feet of ice than on a regulation rink. Although, what helps Illinois at home may actually be hurting them on the road. The Illini are 0-2 outside of Illinois, including a 0-7 shutout loss at Oklahoma on Sept. 26. Illinois is averaging nearly five fewer goals away than at home or neutral site.

Illinois men’s cross country makes waves to start October Places fifth in meet that featured ranked competition BY WILL MOST CONTRIBUTING WRITER
For the Illinois men’s crosscountry team, the month of October presents an opportunity to step up against top-ranked competition for the first time this season. At the Greater Louisville Classic on Saturday, the Illini did just that, placing fifth in a talented field, and second among Big Ten teams at the meet, ahead of No. 4 Wisconsin. Junior Dylan Lafond lead the way, taking sixth in the field of 200 and logging the 10th-fastest 8,000 meters in Illinois history. “Dylan put himself right in the thick of it early on,” head coach Jake Stewart said. “He got his season off to as good of a start as you could hope for. It’s probably the best cross country race he’s ever had.” Lafond, an All-American in the steeplechase, ran his first competitive race since 2013 after having a season-ending injury in 2014. While Lafond’s debut certainly played a key role in Illinois’ success, several other top runners placed highly in the competitive field. Senior Ian Barnett, freshman Jesse Reiser and redshirt freshman Billy Magnesen finished 27th, 32nd and 33rd respectively. Iona College finished first in the team standings. Of the Big Ten teams competing, then-No. 10 Michigan placed second, the Illini were fifth, Wisconsin was seventh and Penn State finished eighth. “It was the first big test for us this season,” Stewart said. “We did pretty well handling it. We knew

We wanted to build a little bit of momentum moving forward and I think we did a pretty good job doing that.”
Looking at the ‘Blue race’ and looking forward Illinois’ usual leading man, junior Sean Pengelly, placed 51st. Additionally, senior Paul Zeman and redshirt freshman Zack Smith trailed Pengelly and closed the race
for the Illini with 61st and 69th place, respectively. Despite taking fifth in a competitive field, the runners think that the team got off to a slow start and need to improve in coming meets. “Ideally we would be closer together,” Barnett said. “Sean’s been dealing with sickness lately and he still ran really well considering everything that was going on with him.” Beyond the main competition,
the Greater Louisville Classic held a “blue race” where redshirt freshman Dan Lathrop and senior Liam Markham ran, both with positive results, as they each placed in the top five. As the Illini put the Greater Louisville Classic in its rearview mirror, they have to look pretty far ahead to see their next competition. On Oct. 16 Illinois will attend both the adidas Wisconsin Invite and the Bradley Classic. The break will
give the team ample time to prepare for its trip to Madison, which should be even tougher than its last meet proved to be. “I just want to put myself in a position where we have an opportunity to be a top twelve team,” Barnett said. “I definitely want to be much closer to where Dylan is. I want to have him in my sight.”

NHL slams Sharks’ Raffi Torres with 41game suspension The NHL threw the book at Raffi Torres on Monday, suspending the Sharks forward 41 games for his illegal hit on Jakob Silfverberg in San Jose’s final preseason game. It’s the second-longest suspension in league history, and the longest in the 25-year history of the
Sharks franchise. There was no word from the Sharks or the NHL Players’ Association on whether there would be an appeal. It’s the fifth time Torres has been suspended in his NHL career. He will miss half of the regular season. Torres was given a 10-minute misconduct and a match penalty for his hit on Silfverberg with 7:15 to go in the first period of Saturday’s game against the Ducks. Replays showed that Torres’ left shoulder made direct contact with Silfverberg’s face after Silfverberg released the puck.

It definitely helps (Crawford),” Darling said. “He knows he doesn’t have to play 82 games and we’re going to be OK. I’m proud they’re confident enough to put me in net. “As a backup, you’re just always ready to go,” he added. “It’s kind of our job. You treat practices like games. You never know how many games you’re going to play, but I’ll take any I can get.”
During his seven seasons as Hawks coach, Quenneville has never had a goaltender appear in more games than Crawford’s 59 in ‘13-14, and he has not hesitated to go with the hot hand in the past, as evidenced by giving Darling four consecutive starts during the first round of the playoffs against the Predators last season after Crawford struggled early. “You have to have two goalies in this league who can both play, both can win games and your team feels comfortable with them in the net,” Quenn-

We’re not etched in stone as far he’s going to play 60. Whether he plays 55-60, who knows? We think that healthy competition sometimes is good for everybody. But they have a good rapport with each other where it’s supportive and it’s being good teammates. In that area there’s a lot of relying on one another and helping one another.”
