James Kilgore talks about his own life experiences that inspired him to write his book, Understanding Mass Incarceration, at the University YMCA.

Attempt to reform mental health policies BY STEPHEN NYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Members of the Champaign community are trying to change how the community treats mentally ill people whose illnesses may drive them to commit crimes. This ch a nge will hopeefully come in the form of a new program. The program, proposed by Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh and Champaign County Mental Health Executive Director Peter Tracy, is intended to keep both potential offenders and confirmed offenders out of jail and help them get sufficient treatment. Tracy said the program would allow people to resume normal lives with the help of law enforcement and a detox center, a resource which has never been present in Champaign. In a n attempt to publicize and advocate for the program, Walsh and Tracy held a meeting. It was designed to convince stakeholders in the community of the benefits of the program and to receive feedback from the average members of the community and a number of members of The National Alliance On Mental Illness.

mentally ill adults were incarcerated in state prisons

The discussion, which was held on Sept. 30 at the Brookens Building, focused on how the program would keep those with mental illnesses and drug addictions out of prison and help rehabilitate them successfully. Walsh said “years of Champaign having no place to deal with severe mental illnesses and significant addiction problems,” led to the decision to hold a discussion.

or addiction. “Families themselves need help,” Walsh said. The meeting was not the only avenue for the community to give feedback. Feedback can also be sent to an email specifically for the program. Tracy said he has also received a number of phone calls and has received considerable, positive feedback; some of the feedback has even come from students. Matthew Rice, freshman in LAS, said he is “absolutely” in support of the program and hopes it is funded. “People who commit crimes because of, or related to, drug addiction should not be sent to prison,” he said. “They

Charlotte Green is very interested in the criminal justice system, “to put it mildly.” “To me, it’s a human rights issue,” said Green, a friend of University professor James Kilgore. Green spoke at the University YMCA Wednesday at an event about Kilgore’s new book, “Understanding Mass Incarceration: A People’s Guide to the Key Civil Rights Struggle of Our Time.” Kilgore said that he wrote his book, which was published Sept. 1, in an effort to bring awareness to the issue of mass incarceration. Kilgore served six years in prison for his felony involvement in a 1975 bank robbery and was also a member of the Symbionese Liberation

Army, known for kidnapping Hearst Media Company heiress Patty Hearst. He spoke of the main causes of mass incarceration Thursday and said his hope is that people will try and put a stop to it. Kilgore was introduced by Tracy Gates, who said reading about Kilgore’s experiences made him knowledgeable about mass incarceration. “James is both an educator and a social justice activist who teaches at the University of Illinois,” Gates said. “He has lived in this community since 2009, and he has made an impact on this community in many ways.” Kilgore has published several books, as well as a vari-

But, despite the goals and community support, there are issues facing the program. Tracy said the program is facing “serious funding austerity,” because city funded programs are starting to cut staff due to budget challenges. He said proving to the city that the program is a valid use of public funds will be a challenge going forward. Additionally, he said collaborating resources and cooperating with other organizations will be both necessary and difficult.

Developments on the evolution of viruses pave way for research BY LILLY MASHAYEK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Two University researchers have made significant strides in the research and analysis of viruses and their evolution. The department of crop sciences aims to encourage an environment of research and collaboration within the department, leading to important developments in research and innovation, said Emerson Nafziger, Research Education Center coordinator and professor in crop sciences. “People are encouraged to do (research),” Nafziger said. “It’s just part of what

we do, it’s in our DNA.” Gustavo Caetano-Anolles, professor of bioinformatics in the department of crop sciences, and former graduate student Arshan Nasir started the research on viruses in 2012. Understanding how viruses evolve can be useful for learning how to use them in ways that are beneficial to humans, especially in medicine. “If you don’t have a true understanding of how molecules change, you can’t engineer them to make vaccines, treatments,” Caetano-Anolles said. “We had to find commonalities in all viruses, and we did.”

Understanding how viruses came to be is also essential for understanding how they may evolve in the future and how the viruses change over time. “We found that viruses originated from cells, ancient cells, that were relatively simple, and then eventually became viruses,” Nasir said. They aimed to understand viruses by taking a new approach — studying protein folds of the viruses. A major focus of the research was on how viruses evolved and changed over time, making protein folds the best way to study the

viruses. “The traditional way is to basically work with gene sequences; we didn’t want to do that because sequences sometimes can be problematic to understand, especially if we want to go really back in time,” Nasir said. “We wanted to look at how many and how different kinds of protein folds were imported by those genomes.” By looking at the genomes and protein folds, it became much easier for CaetanoAnolles and Nasir to be able to look at the origins of viruses and where they came from. Caetano-Anol-

les said learning about the origins of viruses is the most important part of their research. “Then we can see well back into the past, billions of years past, and that makes a big difference,” he said. “The aspect that is really important here is about their origin … because we need to first understand how all of this diversity came to be.” The pair previously published a paper in 2012 about including mega viruses on the tree of life, which helped them gain visibil-

Fired up for campus safety BY YI ZHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Champaign and Urbana Fire Departments are celebrating National Fire Prevention Week, which commemorates the Great Chicago Fire, a disaster that killed people and destroyed structures in October 1871. The Champaign Fire Department and Fire Factor 20, a campus safety organization, will host a fire safety demonstration for students to top off the week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is recognized from Oct. 4 to Oct. 10. The demonstration will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Illinois Fire Service Institute. Randy Smith, deputy fire marshal at the Champaign Fire Department, said the department will simulate a fire by filling a room with smoke and teach students how to escape. Students will also have the chance to participate in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surviving Your Next Night Out,â&#x20AC;? a demonstration that will teach students how to survive fires on campus and in nightclubs.

Kilgore said he appreciates the general populaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing awareness of the issue as the debate over mass incarceration has turned political. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This change is inspiring because those of us who have been fighting this issue for years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been barking into the wilderness,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, this has become a mainstream issue.â&#x20AC;? While this has allowed for a greater general knowledge about mass incarceration, he said that he finds the popularity of the issue may hinder effective results from being achieved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is good because we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have change without mass awareness, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unsettling,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My view is, when the mainstream media and the main-

Participating companies include Google and IBM Research, as well as members of the University, local venture capitalists from the Chicago area and local community members. Dhar said Share the Visionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to establish as many connections as possible by heightening visibility around the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipeline of innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can lead to more research collaborations between outside companies and our researchers here,â&#x20AC;?

Paul Braun, Ivan Racheff professor of materials science and engineering and affi liate of the Beckman

Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, said he hopes to build these connections at the event. Braun will present his groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress on creating sensor materials for extended, continuous glucose monitoring. He said his group has created a material whose volume changes linearly with blood-glucose levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This provides a way to have continuous monitoring of blood glucose,â&#x20AC;? Braun said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our vision is that this could be done for a diabetic to provide much more realtime information on their blood glucose levels, which could be then directly used for things like insulin dosing, basically to improve their quality of life.â&#x20AC;? Currently, diabetics have a few options for glucose monitoring, such as the traditional finger prick, which instantaneously gives a blood-glucose level. There are also meters that provide continuous levels, but this method is not completely accurate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our material has the kind of accuracy that is required to take the human out of the

loop,â&#x20AC;? Braun said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you could now be doing insulin dosing directly based on the readout of some biomedical device without having the patient observe the data and verify its accuracy.â&#x20AC;? This research could offer a solution to the growing diabetic population in the U.S. and worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 National Diabetes Statistic Report, 29.1 million people in the U.S. have diabetes. Braun said events like Share the Vision give him an opportunity to connect with partners who may be able to help him turn his vision into a commercial success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These could be people from companies that have certain needs and they recognize that your technology can meet one of their needs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll partner with you and the University to help move these fundamental efforts into something that is technologically relevant.â&#x20AC;?

The 90-second ad by Draft Biden is titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Redemption,â&#x20AC;? and focuses on what the super PAC says is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the strength of character that the vice president developed enduring personal tragedy and sacrifice.â&#x20AC;? It features photos of Biden and his voice delivering Yale Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commencement address and talking about the death of his wife and daughter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incredible bond I have with my children is the gift Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I would have had, had I not been through what I went through,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But by focusing on my sons, I found my redemption. Many people have

gone through things like that.â&#x20AC;? It ends with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe, runâ&#x20AC;? on the screen. Draft Biden says the ad, which will run on national cable with a six-figure buy, was produced by Mark Putnam, who worked on Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first presidential campaign in 1987. The ad comes as Biden mulls a bid for the presidency with a public and private schedule that has fed the speculation. Some reports have suggested he could announce a run as soon as this weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before the first Democratic debate. Talk of a third Biden run for the presidency has grown since August when New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported that the former Delaware senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in May, had, in his final days, urged his father to run for the White House.

EDITORIAL

Fire Prevention Week reminds us to be prepared

his week is Fire Prevention Week nationwide, but students should be aware of things they can do year-round to prevent emergencies, including fires. Most likely, at any given moment we are not prepared for an emergency to occur. But the most intimidating part about dangerous situations is their spontaneity, and because of that, it is crucial to be prepared. The National Fire Protection Association recommends that each bedroom in a house or apartment have a smoke alarm outside each sleeping area and on each level of a house. NFPA also recommends that smoke alarms be tested once a month. This is especially important given that three out of five fire deaths occur in places that lack working smoke alarms. In addition to making sure that smoke alarms are functional, there are a lot of other things students can do to prevent emergencies. Students in residence halls should check the rules of the dorms before using electrical appliances in their dorm room. Appliances with heating elements, like hotplates or coffee makers, can cause fires if something is left near the source of heat. Additionally, students on and off campus should be careful with space heaters as the weather becomes colder — the NFPA recommends keeping items that can burn at least three feet away from fireplaces and space heaters. Students should also turn off space heaters before going to bed. Some of this seems like common sense — don’t leave the kitchen while you’re cooking, don’t pour water on a grease fire, don’t leave candles unattended — but these reminders bear repeating. Emergencies on campus aren’t just limited to

fires. Sometimes, situations arise where CPR is necessary. However, according to the American Heart Association, 70 percent of Americans feel helpless during a cardiac emergency where CPR is needed, either because they don’t know how to administer CPR or are out-of-practice. However, even those who are untrained in CPR can help in an emergency. If students see someone who is unresponsive and not breathing or not breathing normally, the American Heart Association recommends calling 911, then pushing hard and fast on the center of their chest. Administering CPR to a cardiac arrest victim can double or triple their chances of survival. Students can watch an instructional video on how to administer Hands-Only CPR on the American Heart Association’s website. Unfortunately, emergencies can arise even when people are intoxicated, and students should be prepared to handle them when they do. In terms of fire prevention, students should avoid cooking when intoxicated. Students should also watch friends for signs of alcohol poisoning — vomiting, skin that is cold and pale, unconsciousness — and should call 911 if they exhibit any of those symptoms. Underage students who have been drinking can call for medical help for friends without fearing legal trouble due to policies set forth by the University’s conflict resolution office. Emergencies happen, and when they do, it would be terrible if the reason tragedy came from it was because a student was unprepared. We should collectively take necessary steps now to ensure that we’re ready in case something threatening were to occur, so at the very least, we can always say we tried.

Inaccurate history leads to bad bias ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist

unthinkingly rely on educational texts to teach us our history; textbooks offer us our perception of reality. Students believe George Washington was the first president, the Holocaust occurred and John F. Kennedy was assassinated because they read it in a book. Inaccurate educational texts can therefore cause students to develop distorted, inaccurate understandings both of history and of reality. We know this, and we still, far too frequently, supply our schools with biased educational material. Most recently, critics have resisted the ignorant rhetoric deployed in a McGraw-Hill World Geography textbook photo caption. It read, “the Atlantic Slave Trade between the 1500s and the 1800s brought millions of workers from Africa to the southern U.S. to work on agricultural plantations.” To substitute “worker” for “slave” is not only inadequate in conveying the appropriate connotation, but also totally inaccurate considering that slaves received no pay. Upon personally examining the text, Roni Dean-Burren, a school parent, rightly accused McGrawHill of erasure. The company responded, issuing a statement saying they would rewrite the section. While, of course, I applaud their ownership of the error, many have criticized its solution as not enough. Even if a newer version of the text-

book becomes available, many schools will be unable to afford a whole new set. Too many students, likely those in fiscally disadvantaged districts, will still construct their understanding of history based off an inaccurate text, even after the McGraw-Hill reprint. So, similar to so many other issues in education policy, the system will be skewed in favor of affluent, typically demographically white, districts. There is therefore not only an issue regarding the Euro-centricity in many American historical textbooks, but also an issue regarding the fact that this inaccurate information will likely be fed, at a disproportional rate, to those who it most grossly misrepresents. Our perception of history changes when only certain voices are featured and certain stories recounted. One of our most blatantly and frequently mythologized American histories is that of Christopher Columbus. This coming Monday, schools across the country will shut down as a sign of respect for the man who “discovered” America. With little to no mention of the fact that Columbus captured Native Americans for the slave trade, we teach students about the man as if he were a moral hero. We continue teaching elementary schoolers to sing upbeat songs about the Niña, Pinta and Santa María. It’s historically inaccurate, and it’s culturally insensitive. We do it anyway to cultivate seeming patriotism. To put forth the story of Columbus as emblematic of American patriotism is to associate “patriotism” — in an admittedly reductive fashion — with the European side

of the conflict and to disassociate it from Native Americans. “Patriotism” is too often used as a euphemism in representing the actions of European Americans as faultless. Much of the historically incorrect information is justified by citing the need to perpetuate this sort of patriotism. We must therefore eradicate the notion that patriotism is connected to either shiny positivity or to the applauding of white, European Americans. Perhaps we should instead regard patriotism as the ability to recognize the current and historical reality of the U.S. and to have the desire to improve upon it. We can’t erase the distasteful aspects of our national history. We also have a responsibility to question the information that is taught to us. Students need to be instructed, from the youngest age, to intelligently push back against what they learn in school. Beyond our duties as students, as members of a society that has the ability to affect the educational system, we must demand appropriate educational resources and practices for our public schools. We cannot teach students about the reality of America with whitewashed educational texts and holidays. It’s simply not possible. We must understand the influence that a good and a bad education can have on any given student and the effect that the good or bad education of a generation can have on our national character. For an obvious starter, let’s stop taking off school for Columbus’ “holiday.”

eration, it’s our duty to be as politically involved as we can; if we want changes to be made in the country, we need to look for and pay attention to the candidate that earns said attention not from their fame, but their views. For many progressive parties, Sanders is that candidate. Many people plan on voting for Clinton for the sake of feminism, believing it will bring massive changes for women’s rights throughout the country. Sanders writes on his own website how opposed he is to, “denying women control over their own bodies, preventing access to vital medical and social services and blocking equal pay for equal work.” He then proceeds to go massively in-depth about these beliefs, providing statistics and plans of action. Remember that being a feminist isn’t about voting for a woman, it’s voting for the candidate that will best serve women’s rights. Sanders also holds just as powerful and progressive opinions on plenty of other current social issues, like wealth inequality, climate change and LGBT rights. Every social issue the progressive Americans like in Clinton is found tenfold with Sanders, but a lot of people aren’t aware of him because they’ve yet to politically educate themselves on all the candidates. Now, Sanders operates entirely without Super PACs, meaning his money comes from individual people, not faceless corporations. He’s nearly matched the funds of Hillary Clinton, his prominent democratic opponent, raising $26 million

in this quarter alone from simple donations of everyday people. Sanders says he’s collected from 650,000 donors. The average donation size is only around $30, and 99 percent of all the donations given to Sanders’ campaign are under $100. These are the numbers we need to make sure we’re aware of if we want our vote to be one that’s rooted in knowledge and real information. Clinton does a good job of connecting to her supporters and, she uses these big-name super PACs and, according to the Washington Post, has spent $9 of every $10 raised, nearly depleting her funds. Sanders has yet to use over half of his campaign money, meaning he still has a lot of economic power. These are important campaign numbers that, would I have not cared about politics and educated myself, I wouldn’t have known the first thing about, and would have found myself blindly voting for a candidate I knew so little about. We as a student body can’t simply ignore politics. For a lot of students, this will be the first election we can truly participate in and it’s important not to simply follow the masses. For example, if you plan on voting democrat, it’s politically irresponsible to vote for Clinton just because she’s in the lead and generating the most buzz. It’s your responsibility to look into other potential candidates who have plans that align with what you believe in.

Vote based on views, not popularity LOGAN WEETER Opinions columnist

ot six months ago, I was sitting with my high school journalism adviser discussing current politics and possibilities for the presidential position in 2016. We had noticed a certain “unremarkability” of the candidates at the time, and based off our average knowledge of the political candidates, we simply assumed that a Republican would take the presidency. After all, we hadn’t heard of any noteworthy Democratic candidates. A new face in the presidential race, however, has turned everything I’ve learned about campaigns around entirely. Now, if you told me six months ago that I’d be voting for yet another old white guy in 2016, I’d have told you that you’ve entirely lost your mind. Bernie Sanders is making me eat my words. He’s here, he’s loud and even if you don’t plan on voting for him, you can’t ignore him. Although somehow, a staggering amount of people I know don’t even know his name. Though the polls are saying he’s just over half as favored as Clinton, he’s gotten to that position on his own merit alone without the extreme fame that candidates like Clinton and Trump have, and he’s gotten there with minimal political involvement of the masses. As a new voting gen-

STUDENTS AND OPINIONS STAFF WEIGH IN ON PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES, POPULARITY, ‘TWILIGHT’ AND CAMPUS BIKES

COMPILED BY MATT SILICH, LEAH PEARLMAN AND EMMA GOODWIN

ANDY PALKA Senior in LAS

Yesterday was the University’s bike census. What do you think about the number of bikes on campus and biking on campus overall?

“I think that campus biking really sucks. It’s really hard to do because the bike trails are all broken. People who bike are really cool, but our infrastructure is really bad at this university for biking.”

AMELIA KOPPLIN

COURTNEY BOYER

“I brought my bike, but I don’t really ride it a lot because I would run into everyone. I think that the bikers aren’t that big of an issue; it’s just when there’s a lot of foot traffic you have to be careful.”

“It seems like there are a lot of bikes on campus, and I think biking to class is okay as long as the riders are being safe about it, and considerate to walkers.”

“I encourage any and all students to bike when possible. Not only is it the most efficient way of transportation on campus, but the more people that bike reduces the number of pedestrians I can hit.”

JASON SCHWARTZ Opinions columnist

“I’m not friends with anyone who drinks a PSL. I try and distance myself from the common folk.”

“I like them, but I don’t think that they’re as good as everyone makes them out to be. I think it’s kinda basic, but they’re good so that doesn’t matter. Just do you.”

“No, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is 100 percent not worth the hype, and it honestly does not even taste that great.”

“I may be the only person on campus to have never had one, but I like pumpkins and certain spices, so I guess?”

This year is the tenth anniversary of the “Twilight” books, and author Stephanie Meyer released a book with reversed gender roles. What do you think about the series’ major change?

“I think this is a really big step in vampire romances in general. I look forward to reading so many more.”

“I think it’s interesting, but I also think that it’s just been a really long time, so people probably aren’t going to want to read it.”

“‘Twilight’ had its time in the limelight, and they are going to ruin what it was with this new version.”

“Anything that turns traditional gender roles on its head is good for society in general. Specifically for ‘Twilight,’ two girls fighting for one guy reminds me of ‘Mean Girls.’”

Matt Hill, a vice president of the Illinois Student Senate is going to serve on a national It’s On Us advisory committee. At the University, what is one thing you think could be improved to make It’s On Us more effective?

“With any social campaign on this campus, one way would be to get the Greek community involved because they’re so massive. They are. There’s too many of them.”

“I really haven’t seen [It’s On Us] anywhere. I think just maybe putting something out there that’s in a public area would help. The only reason I saw it, one time, was because somebody I knew was in their video.”

“They should try to have the actor John Hamm come because he is on the It’s On Us campaign! It would catch the female population’s attention, thats for sure.”

Pumpkin Spice Lattes seem to be back and in full swing. Starbucks is even debuting an “Orange Sleeve Society” to honor the drink and its fans. Do you think the latte is worth the hype?

“The marketing campaign It’s On Us has done a great job of spreading awareness; however, I think more education on sexual assault could go a long way in squashing the issue as much as possible.”

ACE Awards to honor local arts community BY MARIAH SCHAEFER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Since 2005, 40 North | 88 West, Champaign County’s arts council, opens up nominations for the ACE Awards, selecting the winners and celebrating with the arts community. This year, the 11th annual awards ceremony is Friday at The City Center inside Fat City Bar and Grill in Champaign. Community members who impact the local arts scene are recognized, but the ceremony exists more to bring together arts-minded community members. The acronym stands for “art, culture and education.” Kelly White, executive director at 40 North | 88 West, said the ACE Awards

are not a competition. “It’s not a typical awards ceremony ... it’s basically a party, a full celebration of everyone who is involved with the arts community,” said Kelly White, executive director at 40 North | 88 West. “It’s just a way for us to kind of sit back, celebrate and shine a light on that.” The ACE Awards have seven categories: advocate, artist, volunteer, business, teacher, student and lifetime. White said that the number of nominations increases from year to year. This year, the council received over 110 nominations for the community-based panel of judges to decide on the winners. “It is tough ... Every year the judges struggle with

each category, and every year they always ask, ‘Can we give more than one to each category?’ because there is such a competitive base of amazing people,” White said. She also said that because of the high competition, the council honors all nominees at the event as well. “The seven winners are fantastic, and it’s great to honor them, but truly the whole group of all of them combined is what is really making the arts community happen,” White said. “It’s all those people that are nominated for different reasons that really as a group, as a whole are what is kind of creating the vibrancy that we have.”

Xuxa Rodriguez, student ACE When she was just five years old, Susana (Xuxa) Rodriguez’s grandmother decided to sit her down and teach her how to oil paint. “Evidently, she had a lot of faith in me, because five-year-olds and oil painting don’t really mix in my mind,” said Rodriguez, a third year Ph.D. candidate in Art History. “The amount of patience that you have to have for oil painting is one that I do not normally associate with five-year-olds, but she was like, ‘this one is precocious and she has laser focus, so this one will probably be able to do it’ and she was right.” Rodriguez, who is a Graduate College distinguished fellow, focuses her studies on contemporary Afro-Cuban performance artists and looks at how they negotiate the plural identity of being Cuban-American. “I am kind of biased because I am CubanAmerican,” Rodriguez said. Rodriguez worked at Figure One, the School of Art and Design’s exhibition laboratory space, from around October 2013 until this past summer, and she thinks her duties there influenced her nomination for an ACE Award. “I helped curate shows; I helped curate programs,” Rodriguez said. “I was very vocal and visible in the community ... I would go out and basically go to everyone’s shows – I still go to everyone’s shows as much as I can – but always go and sort of engage in cultural exchange.” She said that when she found out she had

ACE means a lot to him because the community picked it. “I became very passionate with teaching very early in my career, and I also became very passionate with the fine arts,” Clevenger said. “For me, it almost feels like this adventure where I am still exploring and still going, and it wasn’t until the award kind of came up where I kind of had to take a moment and be like, ‘Wow, people are really liking this.’”

Carolyn Baxley, advocate ACE Carolyn Baxley, owner of the Cinema Gallery in Urbana, said she thinks it is important to support local galleries and artists. Her gallery alone represents over 50 artists. “I am really happy to have won in that particular category because I think that anyone who is involved in the arts needs to be an advocate,” Baxley said. “We need to support each other.” Baxley said that three galleries closed in the area in the past year. “It’s been a very difficult time,” she said. “I have been very fortunate to survive it, and it’s important that people remember in times like this that ... they need to come out and support the artists and the art, otherwise they go away.” She said she views one of her roles as a business owner as working with other business owners to ensure visibility for the area. “I think people really underestimate the need for staying visible, for marketing their businesses,” Baxley said. “Our community is very transitional. We have students who are here four years, some who are here for fewer years and we can’t expect people to always remember that we are here.” Baxley has lived in Urbana since 1973. She went to graduate school at the University, met her husband, got married and ended up staying after finishing her degree. “My husband and I have been interested in historic preservation for a number of years,” Baxley said. “We’ve renovated several buildings in downtown Urbana, including the one that houses the gallery, the historic cinema.” She also helped found the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum in the 1990s. “You have to really be supportive of other

Rusty Clevenger, teacher ACE Rusty Clevenger grew up in a small farm community in Illinois near St. Louis, so the first time he went to an art museum was when he was a high school sophomore. Clevenger, elementary art teacher at Dr. Preston L. Williams Jr. Elementary School and Wiley Elementary School, moved to Urbana in 2009 to teach and immediately noticed Champaign-Urbana’s connection to the arts. “I started to realize how much arts were in the community, but then I was also realizing that none of the kids were going to any of those places,” he said. He said that close to 92 percent of the student body at Dr. Williams, and about half of the student body at Wiley, comes from low-income families and qualify for free and reduced lunches. “I started realizing how many of my students had never seen real art or stood in front of it or attended a performance,” Clevenger said. “So I started to look for ways to get my students to those spaces.” He and a group of about five or six teachers started collaborating with Krannert Art Museum, where students were able to go to the art museum for an entire week. “With that week there, we were going to teach all the curriculum lessons using arts integration,” Clevenger said. “Basically, the students learned reading, writing, math, art, music, dance and drama all by looking at artifacts at the Krannert Art Museum.” Now in its fifth year, the program has two categories: KAM-WAM, where students go to the museum for a week, and KAM-BAM, where students go to the museum for a day. Clevenger said that winning the teacher

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

PORTRAIT OF SARAH ADAMS BY KAROLINA MARCZEWSKI THE DAILY ILLINI

Stories of Strength:

Sarah Adams

BY SUSAN SZUCH COPY CHIEF

Some might call Sarah Adams a woman of unbrekable spirit. When her fingernails became brittle and started to peel after using the anticancer drug Taxol, she simply wrapped her fingers in gauze and continued to work as the office manager for the ACES academic program. Now, after almost a year in remission, Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nails are all but recovered, with only a couple starting to crack near the nail bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The half-life of Taxol must be something else on fingernails â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they must love it, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had fingernails like these in my life,â&#x20AC;? Sarah remarked, examining them momentarily. Now office manager for administrations in Engineering, Sarah is one of those on campus who has battled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and beat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; breast cancer. She continues to be an advocate for those who are still fighting. For Sarah, this job isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restricted to October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month, but rather spans the entire year. Her battle began when what initially thought to be a cyst turned out to be breast cancer. At 38, she was given the news by phone on May 10, 2013, while she was standing

on the stage of Assembly Hall during graduation rehearsal. Sarah went through the entire rehearsal, only sharing the news with her coworkers after the practice concluded. Anne Stites, administrative assistant in ACES and Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former supervisor, was amazed by the way Adams handled the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I would have broken down and probably cried a lot,â&#x20AC;? Stites said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But she was a hero and just continued on.â&#x20AC;? After receiving her diagnosis, Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor recommended she have a mastectomy. The tumor was the size of a small lime, and the placement meant she could not do a lumpectomy, or a procedure where only the tumor is removed. Following the surgery, Sarah took six weeks to recover before going back to work full time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when she only took Thursdays off for her chemotherapy treatments. This was surprising to Stites, who encouraged her to take more time off, especially after Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nails began to peel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the diagnosis of cancer came back, it was just like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh, what are we going to do? How are we going to deal with this?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Stites said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But out of anybody, I was shocked to know how much sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come to work, how much sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d push forward.

There were days she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fingernails â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they were falling off.â&#x20AC;? Sarah was two weeks into chemotherapy when her hair began to fall out. She was in a car, running her fingers through her hair, when she felt strands clump into the palm of her hand. She let the hair fly out the window as her dad drove through Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; countryside. The next day, she went into a salon to get all her hair buzzed off. While she enjoyed some aspects of it, like taking three-minute morning showers and saving money on hair products, it was also difficult at first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This society is one that if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have hair, you get stares,â&#x20AC;? Sarah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a woman, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of looked at like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an immediate clue that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick.â&#x20AC;? For her, having hair during chemotherapy kept her cancer a secret â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no one could tell she was sick. But once she lost her hair, her â&#x20AC;&#x153;secretâ&#x20AC;? was out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never wanted to be pitied; it is what it is. I never ever asked why me? Why not me?â&#x20AC;? Sarah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people have said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my god, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how gracefully you handled that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but what option are you given?â&#x20AC;? Sarah occasionally jokes that she was not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good patientâ&#x20AC;? during her treat-

ment. When she was hospitalized for five days due to a blood clot, caused by cells that collected in the tube that administered her medication, one of her nurses turned a bed alarm on that detected when she got out of the bed. The nurse knew Sarah would get up to use the bathroom even though it was potentially dangerous. Despite being insistently independent, she noted that it was extremely important to let people provide support by letting them know what they can do to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times, people are like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What can I do to help you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Take them up on that, otherwise they just feel so lost,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see somebody going through cancer, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away their pain, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it better, so people feel very helpless, and they just want to do anything for you. So even just telling somebody to go to the store for you, they will jump at that.â&#x20AC;? Sarah herself has been a crucial source of support for others as well. A year after her diagnosis, Stitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nice to know I have a resource here. I can call, and she can help me out,â&#x20AC;? Stites said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She told me which doctors and what to expect, and I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, this is

what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and my mom was very grateful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one day at a time, and I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Sarah lives, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we can expect.â&#x20AC;? The past summer, Sarah went to a retreat hosted by Breast Cancer Recovery in Wisconsin for any women with breast cancer. This fourday retreat offered another form of support for her, since she was able to be around others who experienced a similar thing. She was able to talk about helpful topics, like getting beyond breast cancer emotionally. Even though Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment ended, her side effects still lingered. Every now and then, she still finds herself with brittle nails and doubtful thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just survivor guilt, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I struggle with a lot. Knowing people that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it, so why am I here?â&#x20AC;? Sarah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sort of learn how to start coping. When you see people younger than you, younger and healthier than you who are not winning this battle, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard.â&#x20AC;? Today, Sarah lives with a new perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of cancer patients talk about the new normal,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go back to the way you were, but in a lot of ways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better you.â&#x20AC;?

Hawkeyes present ranked challenge With likely absence of Ferguson, Vaughn key to Illinois’ offensive success in first Big Ten roadgame BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

The Illinois football team will face its first ranked opponent of the season when it travels to Iowa City this weekend to face the No. 22 Hawkeyes. It is the first time the Illini (4-1, 1-0) are headed to Kinnick Stadium since they lost there in 2007. Illinois has not won a game there since 1999. Iowa (5-0, 1-0) is the last Big Ten team to beat Illinois — the Illini are on a three-game winning streak against conference opponents, but Iowa is one of four unbeaten teams remaining in the conference. Illinois has lost 10 straight and 19 of its last 20 games against teams ranked in the AP poll since beating No. 1 Ohio State in 2007. Head coach Bill Cubit is 0-4 against AP ranked teams in his years as a head coach. The Illini will likely be with-

zone coverage is third in the conference. Illinois’ red zone offense is 13th. Saturday may provide another chance foe the Illinois defense to make big stops. Iowa is ranked 7th in total offense. Illinois coaches said Iowa’s offensive line is one to remain aware of. “It’s a physical team,” Cubit said. “It’s a really good team with one of the few offensive lines I enjoy watching.” Illinois receivers dropped six passes against Nebraska and at times failed to look cohesive. But mistakes aside, the Illini are optimistic for Iowa. “It’s way easier to correct mistakes with a one-point win than it would be a 13-7 loss,” offensive lineman Ted Karras said.

ILLINOIS’ KE’SHAWN VAUGHN

IOWA’S C.J. BEATHARD

Vaughn rushed for 98 yards on 24 carries versus Nebraska. Starting running back Josh Ferguson exited that game in the second quarter due to suffering a shoulder injury, resulting in Vaughn to take on the majority of the workload. Head coach Bill Cubit said it is very unlikely that Ferguson returns to action against Iowa. If Ferguson is unavailable to play, Vaughn will once again be the Illini’s go-to back. Vaughn has 325 rushing yards this year.

Beathard only threw for 77 yards with one touchdown pass against Big Ten foe Wisconsin. The junior quarterback has thrown for 1,039 on the year to go along with seven touchdowns and two interceptions. Beathard has led his team to undefeated record thus far.

Allison is the Big Ten leader in receiving yards (453) and receptions (32). Those numbers rank in the top-20 nationally. His 91 yards in the Illini’s last game against Nebraska helped him surpass 1,000 career receiving yards (1,051). The receiver caught the game-winning touchdown against the Cornhuskers — it was his second of the season and seventh of his career. Allison continues to be Wes Lunt’s top target with Mike Dudek and Justin Hardee still out with injuries — neither have played a game this season.

EYE ON THE ENEMY: CORNERBACK DESMOND KING King collected his fourth and fifth interceptions of the season in Iowa’s last game against Big Ten foe Wisconsin — King also had a multi-interception game against Pittsburgh in Week Three. The cornerback recorded nine total tackles in the 10-6 victory. Those efforts led him to be named Big Ten Conference CoDefensive Player of the Week. His five interceptions lead the conference.

Cubit and Illinois enter win-win game PETER BAILYWELLS Sports editor

llinois football’s win over Nebraska was a long time coming. Illini nation endured a lot under Tim Beckman, the least of which was Big Ten mediocrity. But the Illini are undefeated in Big Ten play since Bill Cubit took over as head coach. He’s coached one Big Ten game and won one Big Ten game. If he wins his second game this weekend in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes, and is untainted by the upcoming results of the player abuse investigation, he should be Illinois’ coach come 2016. If Illinois beats Iowa, the Illini would be one win away from a bowl game. That win could be against Wisconsin, Penn State, Minnesota or Purdue — especially Purdue. If Illinois beats Iowa,

the Illini would be 2-0 to begin Big Ten play and make Cubit the fi rst Illinois coach to begin his conference career that well in nearly three decades. If Illinois beats Iowa, the Illini will remain at the top of the Big Ten West. And if Illinois loses to Iowa? Bill Cubit’s team drops a road game in a tough atmosphere and returns to Champaign for a bye week and a big Homecoming matchup with Wisconsin. The Illini would still be at 4-2 overall, two games away from a bowl birth and still at .500 in the Big Ten. Saturday is a winwin game for Cubit. The Nebraska win got the Big Ten opener monkey off his back. It was a signature win against a signature program — albeit in a down year — and set his team up for a big Homecoming game on Oct. 24. The Illini are a 10-point underdog against the 5-0

Hawkeyes. They face an upward battle without Josh Ferguson and with a struggling receiving corps. They haven’t won a game at Kinnick Stadium since 1999. They haven’t beaten Iowa since 2008. Ted Karras — when asked Monday about his team’s prospects against Iowa — started to say “we could pull it off” and then stopped and said “We’re going to be competitive in this game.” That demonstrates the wide-held expectations of the Illini going into this game. They stand a chance, but they’re defi nitely the underdog. But if Bill Cubit “pulls off” a win against the Hawkeyes, he’s in the drivers seat as far as the future head coaching position is concerned. If he pulls off a win against the Hawkeyes, it’s his job to lose.

Q&A with the MATCHUPS Daily Iowan sports editor

BY MASAKI SUGIMOTO ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR FOR VIDEO

ILLINI PUNTING VS. IOWA RETURN TEAM

DAILY ILLINI FOOTBALL STAFF

Editor’s note: Every week, The Daily Illini football staff chats with a sports editor or football beat reporter from an opposing school’s paper. Up this week is sports editor of The Daily Iowan, Jordan Hansen. Daily Illini: Is Iowa the real deal this year? Jordan Hansen: I’ve asked myself this question a bunch of times over the last couple weeks and I’m going to cautiously say “yes.” They’re a tough, resilient team that can win in a variety of ways and has a number of weapons at their disposal. That being said, there’s plenty of time for this team to tailspin into oblivion, but I don’t think this happens this year. DI: How elite of a quarterback is C.J. Beathard? JH: He’s in the upper-tier of Big Ten quarterbacks, but a poor showing against the Badgers dropped him a bit. With that said, Iowa’s tackles were not great in that game and he was under quite a bit of pressure, so I’ll cut him a bit of slack. He’s a mobile quarterback with a good arm and a lot of zip on his passes. His ability to read defenses and go through his progressions is improving, but there’s still some work to be done in that area. Beathard also has a pretty solid deep ball, though with wide receiver Tevaun Smith out until after Iowa’s bye week, it remains to be seen who he’ll be chucking it down the field to. DI: Is there a weakness on this team that can’t be seen through stats? JH: Breaking in two offensive tackles is a difficult thing to do and while Iowa’s sack numbers aren’t terrible, there have been a couple games

where Beathard has been running for his life. Iowa’s linebackers are also a bit slow and aren’t particularly great in pass coverage. I’m curious how Illinois’ coaching staff decides to attack them. DI: What do you think will be Iowa’s biggest game for the rest of the season? JH: I mean, Iowa hasn’t been eliminated from the College Football Playoff yet, right? In all seriousness though, if Iowa and Northwestern are both still undefeated next week, that’s a huge game. DI: Do you think the Hawkeyes might overlook Illinois? JH: I really don’t think so. Kirk Ferentz seems to have plenty of respect for Illinois and so do the players. It’s also homecoming week and the Hawkeyes are going to be pretty close to a sellout. This just doesn’t strike me as a trap game. DI: How big was the win over Wisconsin? JH: Absolutely huge. It was Iowa’s first win over a ranked opponent on the road since 2010 at Michigan and a trophy game at that. Wisconsin has been something of a mental hurdle for Iowa over the last few years and for the first time in a while, there’s quite a bit of buzz about Iowa. DI: Is there any excitement for this game since it’s the first time since 2007 that the Illini are visiting? JH: I think a little bit more than normal, though that might just be because it’s homecoming week. To me, the basketball rivalry between Iowa and Illinois will always be bigger, but I’m sure there’s someone out there who would disagree with me.

Illinois is at the bottom of the conference when it comes to punting. The Illini are averaging 38.9 yards a punt. Ryan Frain and David Reisner took on punting duties against Nebraska. and neither had impressive punts. Iowa is second in the conference on punt returns with Desmond King as its returner. The Hawkeyes average 18.7 yards per punt return. If the low-scoring games from last week were any

indication, both teams have stubborn defenses that could call for a lot of punts. If Illinois’ punting does not do well enough, Iowa could end up winning a game that could depend on better field position. The forecast currently shows that there will not be strong winds in Iowa City on Saturday, so whoever the punter is for Illinois won’t have to fight the elements like they did last week.

Illinois’ Ke’Shawn Vaughn (5) runs with the ball during the game against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct 3, 2015. The Illini won 14-13.

Josh Ferguson is highly doubtful for Saturday’s game due to a shoulder injury sustained last week. Vaughn fi lled in nicely and rushed for 98 yards, averaging 4.1 yards a carry, but the freshman will have his biggest test by far against Iowa. The Hawkeyes rank second in rush defense in the conference, giving up only 2.6 yards per carry, and are the only

team in the conference yet to give up a rushing touchdown. If Vaughn steps up, a huge load will be taken off the Illini, and it will probably quell the cheers coming from Iowa’s Homecoming crowd. If Vaughn can’t fi ll in well, the Illini will have their backs against a wall and could have road troubles again, much like they did against North Carolina.

WR GERONIMO ALLISON VS. CB DESMOND KING Geronimo Allison has proven that he is a stud wide receiver and a legitimate threat after his performance against Nebraska. Allison leads the Big Ten with 32 catches and 452 receiving yards and is on the Biletnikoff award watch list. But Iowa cornerback Desmond King is no slouch. King was the Jim Thorpe player of the week and Big Ten co-defensive player of the week after recording two picks and two pass breakups against

Wisconsin. Thanks in part to King, the Hawkeyes only gave up two field goals to the Badgers. Illinois does not shy away from the fact that Allison is the go-to receiver on the team, all but one of the goal-line plays in Saturday’s win over Nebraska were sent his way. Allison has a size advantage at 6-foot-4, but this matchup will be key to seeing who will compete with Northwestern to win the Big Ten West. RB Ke’Shawn Vaug

Hockey players nicknames just part of it Veterans bestow fun titles on newcomers

it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honestly think it is just a hockey thing,â&#x20AC;? Zima said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the nickname Zeems before I got here. I got it back in my youth league days, and it has just followed me.â&#x20AC;? Even head coach Nick Fabbrini has a nickname. His players call him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fabbo.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually got that nickname during sophomore year of high school on my baseball team,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The names are all terms of endearment, and nicknames have been a part of every hockey team that I have been associated with.â&#x20AC;? One of the funnier stories about a nickname, according to Zima, is that of Joey Caprioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, who the team calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magic Man.â&#x20AC;? This started during a game last year when Caprio scored a simple goal and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything special. Amidst the normal cheers from the coaching staff and teammates, Fabbrini told the team to â&#x20AC;&#x153;call him the Magic Man.â&#x20AC;? The name stuck with Fabbrini, and he still calls Caprio the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magic Man.â&#x20AC;? Caprio has another nickname,

BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER

Talking to Illinois hockey players can be confusing for somebody who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been around the team much. Most of the players refer to each other by nicknames. Some are just shortened versions of the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last names, and sometimes they are hard to decipher. Some have good stories behind them. Some of these stories can be shared, and some of these stories canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. For instance, before the seniors graduate, the team has one last big outing, and they make shirts for the younger players with certain nicknames on the back. The players said that those are known strictly within the confines of the team and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t public information. Junior captain Austin Zima, a.k.a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zeems,â&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know why the players make each other nicknames, but he also said

though, and he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one. His normal name on the ice is Cap. Outside of the rink, Zima has another nickname. One night they all went out as team, and sophomore Eric Cruickshank, a.k.a. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cruicksy,â&#x20AC;? decided that Zima needed an alter ego. Cruickshank had â&#x20AC;&#x153;Naustin,â&#x20AC;? or something similar to Austin in mind. Zima had another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me he wanted to be called Simeon,â&#x20AC;? Cruickshank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I asked why, he said something along the lines of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I picture myself in Alaska, and I am hunting a beaver and then after I get it I just throw the beaver over my shoulder and walk home.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Zima in a nut shell honesty.â&#x20AC;? Freshman defenseman Benjamin Jeon has been labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kinger.â&#x20AC;? His name is different from the others because Jeon actually has no idea why he is called Kinger. His teammates refuse to tell him why they gave him that name. Sophomore defenseman Shaunak Pal has brought in a lot of nicknames in his time at Illi-

nois. Most of them are building off of his unique name. His most common nickname is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brum,â&#x20AC;? which is his middle name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just thought Brum was a really funny middle name,â&#x20AC;? Cruickshank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another one we call him is Shaunawak. We will make up new nicknames for him every day. We just do it to give him a hard time some times, but he likes it. â&#x20AC;? The names all come naturally. There is no team meeting early in the season to decide each playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nickname. According to Cruickshank, most of them are out of convenience. Using Caprio as an example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there could be four Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there on the ice, but there is only one guy out there that will respond to the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capper.â&#x20AC;? According to Cruickshank, the nicknames serve as ice-breaker. A new player comes in, and instead of being called his real name, he is given a nickname. It can make a player feel like they are fitting in more.

Volleyball returns to Huff Hall to face Penn State

The Illini build intensity for first home match since August BY ELI SCHWADRON STAFF WRITER

The No. 13 Illinois volleyball team will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;fi red upâ&#x20AC;? to play at Huff Hall for the fi rst time since August, according to head coach Kevin Hambly. Illinois (11-4) takes on No. 3 Penn State (14-1) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a team the Illini defeated on the road in 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on Friday at 7 p.m. After facing the defending champion Nittany Lions, the Illini will host No. 9 Ohio State (14-2) on Saturday at 7 p.m. Illinois is coming off their fi rst Big Ten losses of the season, falling to then-No. 19 Wisconsin and then-No. 16 Minnesota over the weekend. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to bounce back against the Nittany Lions, a team whose sole loss came against No. 4 Nebraska on Oct. 2. Hambly had high praise for Penn State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have all the pieces to be a championship team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had for the past eight years.â&#x20AC;? Hambly said the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secret weapons are their liberos. He explained that their defensive specialists go under the radar

Hambly

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect us at fi rst to come out and be overcharged a little bit, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll settle in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;(To win), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take noticing the moment
