Shutdown over; debt ceiling raised Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on an 81-18 vote Wednesday night. Twenty-seven Republicans joined Democrats in backing the bill. About two hours later, the measure moved to the House of Representatives, where it was approved 285-144. Eighty-seven Republicans joined 198 Democrats in voting yes. All 144 no votes were Republicans. “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said hours

WASHINGTON — The nation stepped back from the brink of default Wednesday as Congress approved a bill to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling. President Barack Obama signed the bill later that night. Earlier, the Senate approved the proposal crafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and

before the vote. The partisan bickering and acrimony that enveloped the House during the 16-day shutdown was largely replaced by softer tones and talk of bipartisanship prior to Wednesday’s vote, perhaps to soothe and reassure the markets. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., former chair of the House Financial Services Committee, asked colleagues, “For one night let us talk about what is good for this country and not about the other

First-generation students face hard transition STAFF WRITER

College of Media senior Rachel Loyd has a photo from her movein day freshman year, showing she and her mother smiling as she was dropped off for school. Upon closer look, her mother has tears in her eyes, overwhelmed with emotion over her daughter — the youngest of three — beginning college. Rachel is the first in her family to do so. “(My mother) didn’t have the opportunity to go to college and so her youngest daughter (going) to college and attempting to make something out of herself was really overwhelming for her,” Loyd said. “She was just ecstatic.” Loyd is a first-generation college student, or a student whose parents did not graduate from a four-year institution. According to data provided by campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler, this year’s freshman class has a higher percentage of first-generation students than all other classes. About 23 percent of all students with freshmen standing, including first-time, transfer, returning and continuing freshmen, are first-generation students. In both applying to the University and attending college, first-generation students face challenges not faced by students whose families have a tradition of higher education, officials said. First-generation students identify themselves as such when they fill out their applications to the University, said Director of Admissions Stacey Kostell. This information is then taken into account when reviewing the application, she said. “There are a number of personal characteristics that we take into consideration when we’re reviewing an application,”

and said he would sign the measure “immediately,” to reopen the government and “begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and from the American people.” Obama’s remarks came before the House vote. He said he would have more to say Thursday, declaring, “There’s a lot of work ahead of us, including our need to earn back the trust of the American people that’s been lost over the last few weeks.”

Obama suggested his focus will return to a stalled immigration overhaul, passing a farm bill and the federal budget. “We could get all these things done even this year, if everybody comes together in a spirit of, how are we going to move this country forward and put the last three weeks behind us?” he said. Obama thanked congressional leaders for reaching a resolution,

Kostell said. “We know that a student who is a first-generation student (is) kind of navigating the college selection process and the application process from maybe a different perspective from a student who has parents who have gone to college.” To help target potential firstgeneration applicants, representatives from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions visit high schools with large firstgeneration student populations and holds special programs and application workshops. They talk to students about what the University looks for in essays, activities, test scores and advanced courses, Kostell said. “It’s always helpful to have access to students as early as possible to engage and just have that ... conversation that college is possible,” she said. Though she does not come from a tradition of higher education, Loyd remembers her mother offering support for her education at a young age. “I remember hearing all throughout elementary school and middle school my mom would always say, ‘Oh Rachel’s going to college’ because she knew that I was serious about my education,” Loyd said. Although she was a serious student, Loyd said she didn’t think about college seriously until her senior year of high school. But once she made the decision to go, she ran into the problem of how to pay for school. It was not until the summer before starting her freshman year that she learned she had been accepted to the Illinois Promise scholarship program. This scholarship covers the full cost of education for students whose families live below the poverty level and have net assets

No highfives or spiking the football. ... It’s not a win for anyone, particularly the institution of Congress or the president, for that matter.” Obama, who spoke after the Senate vote, thanked Democrats and Republicans for their work

Megan Diddie, graduate student in Fne and Applied Arts and research assistant at Fresh Press, pulls cotton paper pulp through a wooden mold while demonstrating the sustainable paper-making process on Wednesday.

How Fresh Press makes its paper, in 10 steps:

1. The agricultural product (say, prairie grass) is put into a wood chipper. 2. The chipped prairie grass is soaked in an 11 gallon pot of water overnight. 3. The next day, the grass is cooked on a burner powered by propane, but they are looking to use renewable energy sources in the future. 4. The product in the pot goes into a paper beater for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on fibers and desired paper texture. 5. The beaten agricultural product, now called “pulp,” is suspended in a vat of water.

6. The papermaker shakes his or her hands in the bottom of the vat to “charge” the pulp. 7. A screen, or wooden mold, is pulled through the pulp, forming a sheet of fiber on the top of the screen. 8. The sheet of fiber is transferred onto a piece of felt. 9. Another piece of felt is put on top of the fiber to form a sandwich, and that goes into a paper press. 10. Once pressed, the majority of the water is drained from the paper, and it is set to dry for about 12 hours. SOURCE: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ERIC BENSON

Inside a small, yellow, metalsided building on the University’s South Farms, two professors and two research assistants are converting crops and agricultural biproducts into sustainable paper. The project, called Fresh Press, began as a collaborative effort between graphic design associate professor Eric Benson and assistant professor Steve Kostell two years ago. Last year, it received funding from the Student Sustainability Committee, the University’s Research Board and the College of Fine and Applied Arts. “We call ourselves the microbrewery of paper,” Benson said. “We follow the model where if it’s in season and harvestable, we use it.” The sustainable papermakers get the majority of their agricultural products, like corn stalks, miscanthus and prairie grass, from the Sustainable Student Farm. This season, about one

thousand prairie grass seeds were planted for Fresh Press at the farm. Benson said they also use any unused miscanthus grass from biofuels projects on campus and prairie grass from a fellow artist’s backyard. Megan Diddie, research assistant and graduate student in Fine and Applied Arts, said the paper made in Fresh Press’s studio also creates less of an impact on the environment in terms of transportation. “We have the material here in the Midwest, so why would we ship parts of another country’s trees to the United States?” Diddie said. “It just seems like we could just make that process so much more efficient, create so much less waste and bring these industries back to the states.” There are several different formulas that have been created, adding the right mixture of agricultural by-products with cotton

It’s 5 a.m. and darkness is coupled with cold. These elements, which normally drive people to seek the warmth of their beds, are instead the conditions that signify the start of another practice for the Homer Lake Forest Preserve’s guests: the Illinois women’s rowing club. Though not immune to the weather, the focus isn’t on the crisp chill of the air or how tired these women are from lack of sleep. Certainly these concerns come before and after their gettogethers as a team, but more importantly as friends, where the extent of their plans can

The event takes place Oct. 19-20 near Cambridge, Mass. With more than 9,000 athletes and 300,000 spectators, the Head of the Charles Regatta is the world’s largest two-day rowing event. Drawing competitors from all levels and from all corners of the globe, this two day regatta has become a pinnacle motivating force for the Illinois’s women’s rowing club.

BY TAYLOR ODISHO STAFF WRITER

As federal employees return to work, the divisive issue that brought about the shutdown is still being discussed. The Affordable Care Act was the topic of a panel hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi at the Levis Center Wednesday night. The panel’s topics ranged from effects students will face to the expansion of health care programs and changes that will come in 2014. Claudia Lennhoff, executive director of Champaign Community Health Care Consumers, said the Affordable Care Act has been a part of American’s lives since 2010. During that year, a bill was passed that allowed parents to add their children to their health insurance coverage until their children were 26 years old. Lennhoff said more changes will come that will continue to help Americans. “We used to talk about health insurance sometimes as an umbrella you bought for protection, but when it’s raining and you open the umbrella, it melts in the rain,” Lennhoff said. “And that’s been the experience for a lot of people so they’ve changed the rules in favor of the consumer purchasing health insurance.” Lennhoff said the main problem congressional leaders have with the act concerns the introduction of the Marketplace and changes to Medicaid. “In 2014, there’s going a big expansion that’s going to provide health insurance for millions of Americans that have been without health insurance,” said Lennhoff.

“That’s mostly going to happen in the form of the Marketplace.” Americans can enroll or find out if they are eligible for private health insurance plans and Medicaid at the Health Insurance Marketplace, sometimes called the exchange, Lennhoff said. The Marketplace can be accessed at getcoveredillinois.gov. This will help consumers find subsidized health care or learn if they are qualified for Medicaid. Lennhoff said one of the biggest changes is the expansion of Medicaid in the states that approved it, which includes Illinois. Mike Claffey, acting deputy director in the Illinois Department of Human Rights, was not on the panel but discussed how Medicaid will become more accessible to Americans. “The whole category of people who are poor that do not have children, that are not disabled and that are not seniors, they have not been eligible for Medicaid, which is the health insurance program for the most vulnerable members of society,” Claffey said. “Under the Affordable Care Act, it was deemed that each state has the option of expanding medicaid to include these adults.” In late July, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill to expand Medicaid in Illinois. Lafferty said the expansion is expected to help about 200,000 people from Illinois get coverage through Medicaid in 2014. Along with Medicaid the panel also discussed how ACA will affect students at the University. Lennhoff encourages Universi-

After students turn 26, they are no longer covered by their student or parent’s insurance and not all students are immediately offered health insurance through their job following graduation. Resources, like the Marketplace, can help students get coverage, Lafferty said. “In the past, you’re a person coming out of college, you’re getting by on a low income, you didn’t really have Medicaid as a health care option because you didn’t have children,” said Lafferty. “It’s going to make a big difference in people’s lives because for a whole broad swath of the population that did not have access to coverage in the past, they’re going

to have access and its going to be very affordable, especially when you look at the subsidies that are included.” Ben Mueller, head of Volunteer Projects and Outreach at Avicenna Community Health Center, encourages students to take their health care coverage seriously. “There are other choices out there and everyone in the community needs to find a medical home, establish a relationship with a clinic, get to know a provider (so) when you do have a crisis, things will go a lot better for you,” Mueller said. Kappa Alpha Psi Treasurer Anthony Wilson, senior in Business, coordinated the event to educate his peers on the act. “Students are uninformed on a very important matter and we’d like to enlighten them in order for them to become more proactive,” Wilson said.

She’s the First RSO helps sponsor underprivileged girls BY DANIELLE BANKS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

During her time abroad, Manasi Dave, senior in Engineering, said she was disturbed by a group of siblings selling bracelets on a street in Singapore at 1 a.m. There was a man with them, a man Dave thought was using these children to make a profit. The boy was around 5 years old and said he had a fever, but his sister told him he needed to “shake it off.” With this, Dave says her personal connection to She’s the First, a new registered student organization, was established, as she would go on to become the membership enrichment chair. She’s the First was founded this summer, and the RSO attempts to raise money and awareness for girls in developing countries to become the first in their families to graduate from secondary school, said Public Relations Director Tori Stukins, junior in Media. The organization aims to help girls find their way out of the dire situations they may face without an education.

STUDENTS below $50,000. Students accepted in the program must be Illinois residents and incoming freshmen or transfer students; they must also have an expected family contribution of zero on their FAFSA. It is not a scholarship requirement to be a first-generation student, but about 70 percent of the recipients are, said Susan Gershenfeld, director of Illinois Promise. This program provides more than just financial support, Gershenfeld said. It also offers its students mentoring programs, professional development and community building. Gershenfeld said when firstgeneration students enter the University, they do not always know the ins and outs of the University system.

One of the things that I said throughout this process is, we’ve got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis.” He took no questions but turned and said “No” when a reporter asked whether the deal meant he and Congress would be back in the same place in three months. The expected approval by Congress would reopen the shuttered parts of the government after 16 days and end for now the stalemate that started when House Republicans refused to approve fund-

She also said they already have some fundraising and promoting experience under their belts. She’s the First is in the process of putting together a bake-off on Oct. 25 and a 5K Race on Oct. 27. “We’ve already had two Bake A Change cupcake sales on Green Street on Saturday nights. She’s the First’s big niche is selling cupcakes — it’s sort of our icon,” Stukins said. “So, every once in a while we sell homemade cupcakes from our cupcake wagon and raise money for our sponsored girl and our organization.” The RSO raises money for a girl they sponsor and members write her letters, Stukins said. The money raised by She’s the First helps girls in developing countries be the first in their family to graduate from high school, said Fundraising Chair Melanie Lyman, senior in Engineering. In soliciting the involvement of other students, Lyman said University students can still relate to the issue of women’s education. She said it speaks to people when they hear

how the RSO helps girls. “Education definitely speaks to college students,” she said. “We’ve all been blessed to be able to go to school our whole lives. It’s something that we take for granted, we complain about it, and we get upset over tests and we don’t realize that people in other countries are literally fighting for the right to learn.” The executive board members’ passion for their organization’s goal does not translate to a stringently operated RSO. In fact, Dave said board members encourage students to take the lead, and they welcome new ideas. “Anyone who has an idea about a fundraising event becomes the project leader of their own idea,” she said. “They have a leadership role. If they’re just a general member, they work with me to make sure this event happens.” Being a senior, Dave speaks for herself, along with other senior executive board members, in saying she wants the RSO to continue to grow once they graduate. In Dave’s case,

though, this comes from another personal connection to the issue of women’s education, as she is from Indian descent. “My grandma had a very difficult time graduating from high school, mainly because she was the oldest, so she was supposed to take care of her younger siblings and make sure they went to school, rather than her go to school,” she said. “Just noticing all the struggles females have been facing everywhere, it got to me. I wanted to leave this university with something that I’m proud of, and so far I’m proud of what we’re doing.” She said her mom had a lot of difficulty with going through school, mainly because moving to America was so different for her. “I think I’m the first girl to go to a big university, even in my extended family,” she said. “I’m the first girl to venture out, and not stay at home ... I’m the first one to travel extensively.”

“For many of our students, many of them are fi rst-generation and parents can’t really help, you just sort of fit in and try to absorb things through osmosis because you might be afraid to ask things and you just want to fit in,” Gershenfeld said. Because the culture and terms used in a college setting are sometimes foreign to fi rst-generation students, some struggle is known as cultural competency, she said. “There are the kind of barriers that all students would experience but I think that for a first-generation (student) you’re entering a different culture,” Gershenfeld said. “As students ask questions and they feel comfortable you get over it, but you just have a little bit of a slower start but you can certainly catch up.” Not having parents to turn to for advice about academics at the University is also a chal-

lenge, Loyd said — one she experienced first hand. After her freshman year, Loyd wanted to transfer from the College of Education to the College of Media but was unable to register for classes because of a lock on her account due to a scheduling problem. She was concerned that she would lose financial aid if she didn’t register for classes. “I got so worried and so distraught and I called my mom and she said, ‘Honey I don’t know what to tell you,’” Loyd said. “I felt really lost because I didn’t know who to go to.” Although Loyd said her mother wanted to help, she had no advice to give. But through Illinois Promise, Loyd contacted Gershenfeld, who was able to help her and fixed her account so that she was able to schedule for classes by the end of the day. “She was there for moral support because she calmed me

down, but she was also there to make things happen,” Loyd said. Making fi rst-generation students, specifically within the Illinois Promise program, feel comfortable at the university is important, Gershfeld said. By offering extra support, she hopes that students will feel more comfortable in their place within the University. “We try so hard to show that you belong here and that people care about you ... I always say that it makes my day to meet a new I-Promise student,” Gershenfeld said. “I love hearing their stories, I love hearing what their hopes are and trying to help them overcome challenges that they have. It’s just (about) being accessible and being human in this big place (and showing) that there are people that care.”

ing for the government past Oct. 1 unless the Senate and Obama agreed to defund the new Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare. It also would temporarily extend the government debt ceiling. The government was expected to run out of borrowing authority Thursday evening, raising the specter of default. “The eyes of the world have been in Washington all week,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “And while they witnessed a great deal of political discord, today they’ll see Congress reaching historic bipartisan agreement to reopen government and avoid default on the nation’s bills.” The compromise appeared to be a victory for Democrats, as the

health care law was left relatively unscathed. Under the deal, the government would be funded through Jan. 15 and the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling would be increased until Feb. 7. A bipartisan House-Senate conference committee — co-chaired by Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. — would work on larger budget issues. The committee will have until Dec. 13 to complete its work and report to Congress. McConnell said Republicans managed to preserve tenants of the 2011 Budget Control Act, which includes the mandatory domes-

tic and defense cuts known as sequestration. “That’s been a top priority for me and for my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle throughout this debate,” he said. “And it’s been worth the effort.” Still, McConnell acknowledged that Republicans came up short. “This is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly,” McConnell said. “But it’s far better than what some had sought. Now it’s time for Republicans to unite behind other crucial goals.” Boehner also talked about preserving the Budget Control Act in announcing that he would not stand in the way of a House vote on the Senate plan.

Age increases interest in news BY ZILA RENFRO STAFF WRITER

Youths are earning the reputation of being the most uninformed age group in America, according to a study done by Pew Research Center in early October. According to the survey, younger generations follow the news substantially less than older generations. The Millennial generation (18-31 year olds) follow the news, whether by newspaper, television, radio or Internet, for an average of 46 minutes a day. This is only about half of the time the Silent generation (67-84 year olds) spends consuming news, who reportedly spend about 84 minutes a day This number only decreased with generations — the Boomer generation (48-66 years old) spent about 77 minutes a day and Generation Xers (32-47 years old) spent about 66 minutes a day. Over the past decade, these numbers have remained stagnant, causing many news organizations to worry that their audiences are disappearing, according to the study. There are several speculated reasons for this decrease in news consumption. Pew Research Center emphasizes that younger people simply don’t enjoy the news as much as older people. One survey found that only 29 percent of Millennials claimed to enjoy the news, compared with the 58 percent of Silents and Boomers who did. When asked how many minutes a day he spent following the news, Daniel Ruff, a freshman in Engineering, replied: “Zero. I find the news to be rather annoying ... I fi nd no pleasure in watching it, and I’d rather do something else.” However, several students have reported that their habits are not in line with the survey. Some even claim to watch, read or listen to news for more than an hour each day. “Part of it is educating myself, but also I enjoy it,” said Michael Neal, a freshman in DGS, as he folded a newspaper in his hands. “I enjoy knowing what’s going on. It’s kind of fun to follow a newspaper like people follow TV shows.” Even people from older generations argue that it isn’t quite fair to say that the Millennial generation doesn’t care about what’s going on in the news. “It’s a little bit easy to overinterpret the decline as being more profound than it is,” said

PAPER for more weight and beating it for the right amount of time to get a specific texture. One type of paper is called “Unleashed Mutt” because of the wet-doglike smell the mixture produces before it gets converted into paper. The papermakers avoid using chemicals in their process, unlike typical paper production. Because of this, and the non-acidic nature of their materials, the paper will not turn yellow over time. “We are basically trying to use what is ‘waste’ to society right now to show that there is no real waste in nature,” Benson said. Eva Chertow, research assistant and graduate student in library and information sciences, said the future of books was a huge topic of conversation. She said although there is a com-

Eric Meyer, professor of journalism at the University. Although he admitted that the pace at which readers consume more news as they age is getting slower, he said that news consumption by young people has always been a concern. “When I was in my twenties and working at the Milwaukee Journal in the ‘70s, we were terribly worried that my age group wasn’t reading. Well now, we are the people who are the big readers,” he said. David Tewksbury, a professor of communication at the University, also recognized that his students were not paying attention to the news as much. From his specialized research on news consumption and the media industry, he offered other explanations for the declining rates. “News exposure has just been going down over time as people have more choices,” Tewksbury said. “It went down in the ‘30s as people spent more time going to movies. It (went) down in the ‘50s and ‘60s as people ... spent more time watching television. And it’s been going down as the number of options that people have on television and in electronic media has been going up.” This change in news format is one of the reasons why news organizations such as Pew Research Center are so concerned about declining news consumption. As more people turn to the Internet instead of television and newspapers, obtaining funding for news production becomes more difficult, Meyer said. “The challenge to the industry in that case is figuring out how to make money off of it. If they can’t make money off of it, then they’ll stop doing it,” he said. Tewksbury’s research has led him to study many trends on news consumption and age over the years. Pointing out a few of his data sets, he said he doesn’t see a very clear downward trend in the younger generation and their interest in news. “Generally, no, I’m not going to say that younger folks are increasingly turned off from politics or moving away from politics. I don’t think that’s true ... that makes me optimistic,” he said.

Fresh Press has been supplying paper to Book Arts Coop on campus and is currently working on letter-pressing Carl Sandburg poems for the president of the University. Because funding comes from the University, Fresh Press has solely been focusing on University-related projects, although Benson said there have been at least two dozen requests from other places. Chertow said she hopes their operation will expand to meet the needs of these outside requests. “We’ve gotten so many requests for paper that it seems we could sell this — we probably should,” Benson said.

How your online presence can affect your internship, job prospects

T

hink that picture of you doing a keg stand on Facebook won’t come back to haunt you? Think again. Prospective employers are increasingly turning to social media accounts to learn more about applicants and uncovering all sorts of skeletons in our online closets. A 2013 CareerBuilder study conducted by Harris Interactive of 2,184 hiring managers and human resource professionals across the U.S. found 39 percent (a 2 percent increase from 2012) used social networks to research job candidates. Additionally, 43 percent (a 9 percent increase from 2012) of hiring managers that searched social media profiles said it caused them to find a reason not to hire an applicant. As University students, many, if not most of us, are constantly engaged in job-seeking efforts to nail down interviews, internships and other endeavors hopefully culminating in our first postcollege job. But there are many pitfalls in our ways, notably ourselves and the way we report ourselves to the world online. Because, whether you like it or not, your social media pages, blogs and overall online presence are all part of your resume. We offer some examples of stuff you probably shouldn’t be sharing online, how it can impact your job search efforts and some tips on preserving your sparkling online identity. First, don’t complain about a position you have or are currently seeking. Employers want to know you are interested in working for them and appreciate what they stand for. Employers make an investment in you when they hire you; don’t give them buyers’ remorse. In 2009, after receiving a job offer from Cisco, one now infamous applicant tweeted about weighing the “fatty paycheck� the company had offered against her hatred of the work. Now, other companies, like Morgan Stanley, have used the “fatty paycheck� tweet as an example during new hire training on unacceptable online practices. Second, keep the illicit activity off the interwebs. Most employers have a bias toward not hiring people that are likely to be a legal liability or could reflect poorly on the organization’s legal compass. Earlier this year, Denver 10th-grade math teacher Carly McKinney (@Crunk_Bear) lost her job over a series racy twitpics and tweets about her love of marijuana (“Such an easy day ... Can’t wait to roll up after school�). Third, even some licit activity can rub employers the wrong way. Pictures of you holding or drinking alcohol, simulating sexual acts or being naked don’t lend much to your employability. This is a perception issue; most employers want applicants who exude professionalism, not a party persona. In 2009, Georgia teacher Ashley Payne was offered suspension or to resign from her job for Facebook pictures of her drinking beer while on a vacation in Europe. Particular to alcohol, a series of experiments published in 2010 and conducted by the Universities of Pennsylvania and Michigan showed that job applicants known to drink are seen as less intelligent and hirable by U.S. employers (dubbed the “imbibing idiot bias�). Finally, personal stuff should stay personal. Posting snide comments, information about your mental or physical illnesses, your opinions on hot-button issues, your sexual preferences or your feelings about particular minority groups are all things employers can latch onto. Treat potential posts about yourself as if they could be leaked at any moment. Think: “Is this really something I’d want the want the world to potentially see or know about me?� If not, don’t post it. This past September, the CTO of Business Insider, Pax Dickinson, was let go after a series of his sexually and racially inflammatory tweets were uncovered. (Example: “Who has more dedication, ambition, and drive? Kobe only raped one girl, Lebron raped an entire city. +1 for Lebron.�) Abstinence from social media truly is the safest option in your job search, but that doesn’t conform to most of our social needs and desires in the digital age. Instead, we would like to encourage the use of safe social media practices. Know the privacy settings available to you on Facebook, Twitter, etc. (But keep in mind, these are a false sense of security and not fool-proof). Consider keeping separate social media accounts for your private and professional life. Keep tabs on people that post pictures with you in it. You probably won’t always be able to get someone to take a picture down, but untagging yourself certainly makes it harder for others to find. Change your social media passwords often and use different passwords for each account. Most important, use common sense when creating your digital image. For the most part, you control how you are perceived online. Take charge of your online identity and carve yourself an image that won’t turn off all chances of you getting somewhere in life.

If you haven’t had a box of Oreos be your rebound after a breakup, opened a new box saying you’ll eat one and you eat 15, or still fight with your best friend over the “correct� way to eat an Oreo — then you simply aren’t human. Or sane. But new research conducted at the Behavioral Neuroscience Center at Connecticut College suggests that Oreos are basically cocaine. Not really, but the research suggests that Oreos, among other sugary, fatty treats, reacts similarly in the brain as cocaine and morphine. Well, in lab rats at least. So, just keep telling yourself that it’s your brain, not your unusually strong appetite toward Oreos — or any of the other crap that you probably eat, too.

Squirrel pride lacks compared to other colleges ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist

O

ne of the best Illinois staples in the fall is the abundance of squirrels skirting around, gathering nuts for the winter. Walking down the Quad, it is impossible to ignore the simple elegance that the thousands of rodents bring to campus. Granted, squirrels chew their food loudly and claw their way up trees, but there is still beauty in the way this behavior adds to the scenery. The critters are agile, adorable and carry personalities that we wish could be instilled in more of the people we know. That being said, the student population significantly undervalues its squirrels. A Huffington Post article from September 2013 listed the most squirrel obsessed colleges. The University of Illinois made the list, but only as an honorable mention. That is simply not good enough for a campus with squirrels as vibrant as ours. It is important to note that the abundance of squirrels at UI is deeply rooted in University history. In 1901, University President Andrew S. Draper wrote in a letter to the Board of Trustees: “For some years I have had in mind the domestication of

squirrels upon the grounds of the University and have made some investigations which lead me to believe that the suggestion is entirely practicable ... If successful, the influence upon University life, and upon the feelings of students, would be considerable, and students would carry that influence to all parts of the State.� The Board of Trustees eventually adopted the recommendation and allocated $250 for squirrel domestication. Since then, our students’ appreciation of squirrels has been significantly outdone by other universities. Harvard maintains a squirrel archive that contains firsthand accounts of interactions with the furry creatures dating back as far as 1882. One such account from the school’s newspaper, “The Harvard Crimson,� noted that “Harvard students are really, really bored� and that the addition of more squirrels to the Yard would be a solution to campus “divisions on racial, ethnic, and various other lines.� Students at the University of Chicago sport T-shirts with the slogans: “University of Chicago: Where squirrels are cuter than the girls,� and “University of Chicago: Where the squirrels are more aggressive than the guys.� At Vassar College it is believed that the squirrels there are the “returned souls

of English majors who couldn’t find jobs after graduation.� The school also hosts the Vassar Squirrel Association whose “president� has written an oped in the school newspaper refuting “the racist attitude towards squirrels that pervades the campus.� Students at the University of Texas at Austin have arguably the best squirrel pride in the nation. Their entire campus community grieved when one of their precious albino squirrels was killed in a “terrible bike accident.� They even have a society devoted exclusively to albino squirrel preservation. Mary Baldwin College has the nickname the “Fighting Squirrels,� and Macalester College considers squirrels their unofficial mascot. Last time I checked we were still looking for a new mascot. Perhaps we could adopt the “Fighting Squirrels?� Rice University made the list ahead of us, which I found particularly offensive. I have visited the Rice campus, and I can say with absolute certainty that our squirrels are better than theirs. Their squirrels are generally more overweight, with graying fur and lack the overall charm and outgoing demeanor of our squirrels. The fact that their school is able to muster more pride for those ugly little fur-balls is an embarrassment. To cap it all off, other Big Ten schools that made the list

include Penn State, Northwestern and Michigan. Sure, maybe we can’t beat them in football, but come on people, let’s at least try to win in squirrel pride! For a school renowned for academic achievement, it is a shame the student population is unable to recognize the beauty that squirrels bring to campus. We need to embrace this beauty now so that a strong tradition of squirrel adoration can be passed down and bring joy to future generations. We would see the benefits in happier and more motivated students along with the greater national attention we would receive as a result of our squirrel pride. The possibilities for attaining this goal are nearly endless. The creation of a new Registered Student Organization could bring more attention to squirrel related issues. The October Lovers Club could certainly incorporate squirrel related activities into its agenda. The University could offer a photo competition or other such events to encourage interaction with our squirrels. Squirrel Appreciation Day is coming up on Jan. 21, 2014 — certainly a great opportunity to make something happen. The challenge is clear. Who has the nuts to take it on?

Take time to get to know yourself away from others NICKI HALENZA Assistant opinions editor

E

ach day is filled with countless interactions. The half-yawned “good morning� to our roommates, the numerous emails to our professors, the study sessions with friends, the never-ending texts, the half-hour phone call from our empty-nester moms — the list goes on. We thrive on these daily encounters. We are social beings, so of course we do. But it is said that social interaction only improves our day to a certain extent. Supposedly, we only need to spend 20 to 40 percent of our conscious day socializing to bring us happiness. If we experience more than 60 percent of social interaction, then there does not seem to be an increase in overall satisfaction — instead, it plateaus. In other words, aside from social interactions, we also need to spend time in solitude to be content with our lives.

There comes a point in each day where we need to disconnect ourselves from everyone and everything and take some much needed alone time. We ultimately need this allotted time as a way to self-check and refresh our minds so we can be more successful and self-aware. Even in those moments where we think we are having true time to ourselves, we probably aren’t. It is almost as if we all feel this urge to be entertained at every moment in time. Our walks to class are spent plugged into our iPods. Our “free time� is spent catching up on TV shows. Our time sitting at the bus stop is spent checking our phones. It is like we never fully face our thoughts head-on. There is always some barrier in the way. So when I say we need alone time, I am talking about total disconnection from everything but ourselves and our thoughts — and some people might initially find that very challenging. It can be difficult because often times we consciously have to tell ourselves to turn off electronics and rid

ourselves of distractions. And we are all so busy most of the time that while it seems like a good idea to be left alone with our own mind, who has a gap in their day to do that? However, alone time can be accomplished during everyday tasks. An article about solitude written by Katrina Kenison said, “Be on the lookout for stolen moments. There are empty spaces in almost every day, tiny nooks of time that you can inhabit in solitude.� Take a longer route to get to class. Wake up a little earlier each morning and think about the day ahead of you. Lie in bed at the end of the day and reflect on everything that happened. Or use the time in other mundane parts of your day. I honestly swear by the fact that I always have my greatest life epiphanies while I am in the shower. We are so often wound up in life, constantly moving from one thing to the next and regularly in communication with others. By living a life full of homework, papers, tests and other obligations, a few moments of peace and clarity

each day can do us good. The bottom line is that taking the time to separate ourselves from all of the stimuli in our lives is so vital for our well-being. According to Psychology Today, it allows us to think about what is going on in our lives, concentrate, unwind and ultimately see everything with a clearer view. We can even learn to make better, well-thought out decisions. While we are physically present for everything we do and every interaction we have with others in a way that allows us to “know ourselves,� it is really only allowing us to know ourselves in relation to other people. We know what kind of friend we are, whether we are the bratty younger sibling, the crazy one at a party or the perfect A-plus student — but what about when we are not in the presence of others? Who are we then? I don’t think you can ever really know unless you allow yourself the time to find out.

UI Housing helps prevent pest infestation BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

With the colder weather of fall comes a nuisance for students other than lugging around large coats and mittens — insects. Many of these pests move into warmer areas, like dorms, as the temperature drops. University Housing residents are encouraged to report pests among other measures to prevent pest problems in residence halls. Cockroaches may be spotted outside and in dorms, and pirate bugs, the tiny, black insects swarming campus, are prone to biting, which can leave small, red bite marks. “Our residence halls are exceptionally clean and that has to do with the integrated pest management that we pursue, the monitoring that we do and also very quick response time to any issue,� said Kirsten Ruby, assistant director of housing for marketing. Integrated pest management is a comprehensive approach to controlling insects, weeds and plant pathogens with environmentally and economically sound practices, as stated on the University’s integrated pest management website. Any resident who has an issue or sees a pest should report it on the Housing website under request maintenance, Ruby said, adding that Facilities and Services responds to every request received. Marni Levin, freshman in DGS, had a broken screen in her Hopkins Hall dorm room in early August. She said it took three days for the screen to be fixed, resulting in many bugs getting into the room. Levin said she has also seen cockroaches around the SixPack, usually seeing them at night in areas that aren’t well lit. However, she has also seen one in Hopkins. “There definitely are beetles that you can see around and silverfish occasionally (outside), but it’s not like we live in squalor. It’s not like it’s infested, either,� she said. “It’s just they happen to be there and we happen to be there.�

Depending on the nature and time of the report, the 24/7 response team may come out at any time to fix an issue or will wait until the following morning, Ruby said. If a special service has to be called in, the response time may also vary. Facilities and Services has not seen an increase in the amount of pest control reports, and its staff puts a lot of effort into regularly treating spaces and monitoring pests, Ruby said. Students are encouraged to report anything that needs fixing in their room or residence hall as part of a preventive measure. Because many pests, such as ants, cockroaches and rodents, are drawn to food, students should keep their food in sealed containers, clean up after themselves and refrain from using trash cans in their rooms for food waste. Instead, use of the central trash location on each floor is recommended so that pests will be drawn to one area, Ruby said. Students should keep windows closed when possible and point fans out of rooms rather than in, according to The Housing Insider, a monthly email sent to students who live in public housing. Pests can also live in and consume cardboard boxes and the glue used to seal them, so residents should be conscious of storing boxes in their rooms. Latrice Tynes, junior in ACES, is a resident advisor for the fourth floor of Hopkins Hall. While no one directly complained to her, roach traps have been set up on one end of the floor due to a student complaint. “If (bugs are on) the first floor then it’s understandable, but when you have bugs on the fourth floor, it’s like — are the students shuffling the bugs in or are there bugs in the building?� Tynes said. “But (University) Housing handles the situation, (they do) a good job of handling their reports in a timely manner.�

CLUB ROWING of their field, the women’s rowing 4-plus team automatically requalified for the 2013 Regatta. The Illinois men’s teams were not able to gain an entry spot. Illinois rowing is divided into two seasons with longer, endurance-based head races dominating the fall season and shorter, sprint races taking over the spring. Starting at about 15-20 second intervals, these head races are time trials, as opposed to where in sprint races six to eight boats are lined across and all begin at the same time. Following last weekend’s doubleheader start of the fall season at the Trinity Quad Cities Classic in Moline, Ill., and the Head of the Rock in Rockford, Ill., the entire team took four gold, two silver and one bronze medal back to Champaign, a team record. The women’s 4-plus team that will compete at the Head of the Charles in a head race won gold on Saturday, in a sprint race. Though the team comprises some members who went to last year’s Head of the Charles, the 4-plus actually comprises women from the varsity 8-plus team, which is a new feature to this year’s women’s rowing squad. A 4-plus team has four rowers and a coxswain, an 8-plus team’s boat carries eight rowers and the coxswain. Composed of sophomore cox-

swain Sam Sanders, sophomore stroke seat Melissa Schick, junior third seat Meridith Kisting, senior second seat Marissa Josupait and sophomore bow seat Tessa Copple, the five members of the women’s varsity 4-plus team work together to create a cohesive unit primed for racing to the top. In a 4-plus, the team will use a bow loader boat. Here Sanders, the coxswain, will be in the bow of the boat, lying almost completely backside down, watching the course play out in front of her. Sanders’s job is to steer the boat and motivate the rowers to keep going to the point where all their attention is focused on their stroke technique. Stroke seat Schick will be seated closest to the stern and set the stroke rhythm for the rest of the team to follow. Kisting who is the Illinois women’s rowing club president and will be in the third seat at the Head of the Charles, is aware of just how crucial the coxswain’s role is after last weekend’s Quad Cities Classic. “I got done with the race and all I could think was that the girl in front of me had beautiful hair,� Kisting said with a laugh. “Thanks to Sam, who had to talk the whole race, we weren’t allowed to think during the race.� With head racing, it is difficult to tell who is winning and who is losing because there are so many competitors. Here, not only does

the intense physical training come into play, but the mental preparation as well is key. “The good thing about rowing in a boat with more than one person is you always know those other girls are there and you can’t let them down,� said Kisting. “They’re pulling just as hard as you are and they’re pulling for you.� Critical during the races themselves, this team bond is formed from the time these women are new on the novice team. From returning every day on time after maybe sleeping through that first practice, the team connects at each exhausting and extremely physical training session to become great teammates and lifelong friends. Such difficulties translate into the races where these women pull for both each other and Illinois. The Head of the Charles is an approximate three mile course that winds up the Charles River, which separates Boston and Cambridge. With seven bridges and such constant turns to conquer, the race provides a unique challenge to competitors. In addition, with spectators filling the banks of the river and the bridges eight to twenty deep, the atmosphere is something entirely its own, that head rowing coach Erik Kroeker described as “such a weird environment, because it’s so different.� Arriving on Thursday night, the team will use Friday morn-

ing to take a practice run of the course to aid Sanders in picking her lines and planning her moves, getting the team’s prerace jitters out of the way, and maybe taking a look outside the boat while rowing as well. With mental preparation playing such an important role, time on Friday and Saturday before Illinois’s race at around 4 p.m. will be used to make the course feel as natural as possible. “You don’t want to have panic stacked upon pain, you want preparation stacked upon pain,� Kroeker said. With clear goals of coming back to the Head of the Charles next year for its 50th anniversary, the Illinois women’s varsity 4-plus team hopes to improve upon its finish from last year. Early morning practices have become a place for this team where the threat of shadows and cold are only minor considerations to the possibilities abound. The physical pain following a race has been replaced by a sense of accomplishment that is driving the team to further heights. “I’ve heard quotes about rowing, such as ‘it never gets easier, you only go faster,’� Kisting said. “So from where I was as a novice, from pushing myself through that pain to the first few races, it’s just as hard now, except I’m going faster.�

Alumnus Robert Bills goes from bond trader to thespian BY ELIZABETH DYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Robert Bills wears many hats. Having graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in economics, he started a career in bond trading and began a job as a lecturer in finance at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After 17 years in finance and economicoriented careers, he decided to pursue his passion for the arts. Now he has moved on to not only encompass the role of a director, but a producer as well, directing and producing the upcoming performance of Neil Simon’s 1985 adaptation of his Tony Award-winning Broadway comedy, “The Odd Couple (Female Version).” This “female version” of the famously male-led play revolves around the lives of two outrageously mismatched roommates, Florence and Olive, who live in a New York City apartment after their own marriages fail. The story line follows them as they realize their contrasting personalities and lifestyles make living together more difficult than they originally thought. The “Odd Couple (Female Version)” will have performances Oct. 17 through Nov. 10 at the Greenhouse Theater in Chicago. The Daily Illini interviewed Bills about his thoughts on the play, his experiences in theater and his time at the University of Illinois. The Daily Illini: Can you tell us a little about “The Odd Couple,” the play you’re directing now? Robert Bills: This is the “Odd Couple (Female Version).” A lot of people think I’m taking his original male version from the ’60s and doing a gender swap, but that’s not true. It was actually written for women, and it was actually written by Neil Simon. It has the same basic themes: divorce, neat vs. messy, sophisticated vs. less sophisticated and earthy. DI: How does this female version of the play differ from the original Neil Simon production? RB: Well, there are a number of parts that are very, very similar, but whereas the male version is six men and two females ... some of the stuff is very similar. ... But it’s sort of the spine of the story that Florence can choose to be miserable and helpless, or she can stand on her own two feet and become independent. And she works haltingly but steadily toward becoming indepen-

dent, and, in the end, she sort of achieves her goal. DI: How does your experience directing this play differ from the experience you had directing Harold Pinter’s Play, “Betrayal”? RB: The interesting thing is that I really love comedy, and I found a lot of laughs in “Betrayal,” not so much because they were written as comedy but because Pinter uses pauses and silences to say an awful lot, even though there are no words to say a lot. It’s what’s happening between the actors, and I’ve always coached Pinter and say that, ‘I don’t want you to say anything until people get uncomfortable in their seats.’ Sometimes being on the edge of your seat as an audience member can turn into laughs, so there are some parallels there. But (“Betrayal”) was small, only three people in that show. This show is eight people. This show is written to have laughs. It’s somewhere between comedy and farce and breaks into farce quite a bit, and so we are layering a lot of little physical bits and timing bits on top of all the written comedy to help bring it alive. DI: What are you most looking forward to in this production? RB: Well, certainly opening night just because we’ve had a very long rehearsal process, extra long ... (and) we really have some talented people. That has been such a delight. DI: You’re a graduate of University of Illinois. How has your experience with the University helped you with your career? RB: I actually did take a couple of theater classes when I was at U of I ... I had a degree in Liberal Arts economics ... so I had certain criteria I had to meet about the arts. I took a theater class and I also took an acting class, and I was a bond trader for 15 years, and when I started to think about what I wanted to do next, I thought back to U of I and my experiences there, so I started to take improv classes and acting classes, and now 20-odd years later, things are starting to pop. DI: How would you describe your transition into theater and comedy? RB: It was very start and stop ... wondering if you could eventually make a living at this thing, whether you’re able to put in the sacrifices that this entails. DI: When did you decide to become a director, as you had previous experience in finance and being a lecturer at the Uni-

versity of Illinois at Chicago? RB: I did a substantial amount of training at private acting schools, and it didn’t take too long before I started to realize that I was probably most comfortable not being on stage, but with seeing what was going on stage and giving people directions or being behind the camera and directing people. DI: Do you feel that there are overlapping qualities between your experiences in economics and your experiences in theater? RB: I think that everything ties together. Certainly as a producer, I use my business background. I also have an MBA in finance from the University of Chicago, so I taught finance for 17 years as basically a day job. Probably understanding economics can lead you to whether, in some cases, interactions between people are honest or not. I have pursued a number of different things in the arts; I have a certificate of drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and I had a gallery for three years, and I’m also a dancer, and those things definitely overlap with particularly the stage. DI: Did you ever think you would be doing what you are now? RB: No, I don’t think so. I was interested in financial markets when I was pretty young, so I thought I’d be doing that. DI: What advice do you have for students who are still trying to find their career paths in college or who want to pursue a career in theater? RB: I’d say find something that you like to do that can make you money right away because it’s probably going to be a long haul, no matter how good your training is or how good of an actor you think you are. You’re probably going to have some difficulty financially. It’s going to take a substantial while to get going. ... So, that would be my real advice: Find something that can make you money that isn’t in acting. “The Odd Couple (Female Version)” will run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. at the Greenhouse Theater Center in Chicago. Ticket prices range from $20 for students, seniors and groups to $28 for general admission. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.greenhousetheater.org.

Limousine driver Florian Bucea checks his Uber service in Chicago on March 25. The service allows riders to schedule service through a phone app and dispatches drivers. known as the “sharing economy.” They often shoot first and ask questions later. They hope their platforms will become so popular that regulators will leave them alone, or at least do no harm. But history shows that upstarts often face opposition when the established order is threatened, and that is no different here. Entrenched competitors have filed lawsuits and promoted their interests through proposed legislation. Policymakers have a tricky balance, trying to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship while also supporting businesses that are the bedrocks of their economy, contributing jobs and much-needed tax revenues. “The regulations were designed for the analog world,” said Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University who studies digital economies. “Now there are digital ways of providing these services that

have created new forms of consumption. The conflict is natural.” In Chicago, Uber ruffled the feathers of the taxicab industry when it entered the city in 2011. Its on-demand limo-style car service shook up the notion that black cars were only for special occasions or for the wealthy. After a customer orders a ride via Uber’s app, drivers use Uber to calculate fares based on the time and length of the trip, much like a taxi. Instead of a meter, though, drivers use a GPS-enabled smartphone to measure the length of trip. Uber has expanded its business to include taxis and ride-sharing, which connects passengers to drivers who use their own vehicles and currently aren’t commercially licensed. In October of last year, a group of taxi and livery companies in Chicago sued Uber, accusing the San Francisco-based company of violating multiple local laws designed to protect public safety and ensure fair competition.

LOCAL LABEL JOINS BROOKLYN BAND BY SARAH SOENKE ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

A double dose of Indie poprock pep is set to hit downtown Champaign on Saturday night. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, signed artists of the Champaign-based label Polyvinyl Record Co., will return to one of their frequently visited towns in promotion of their recent LP release, “Fly By Wire.” “Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has been performing in Champaign since 2006,” said Seth Fein, longtime

T

associate with Polyvinyl and owner of Nicodemus Agency. “I have personally overseen all but one of their shows since then. They’ve played everywhere around town, from (the) Canopy (Club), to The Highdive, to Courtyard Cafe (at the Illini Union) and more.” The three-member band will be adding one more to their list with Saturday’s show at Mike ‘N Molly’s as part of the portion of their fall tour with Brooklyn-based A Great Big Pile of Leaves. The

he July release of “ Yo u’ r e Always On My Mind” marks many firsts for the Brooklynbased A Great Big Pile of Leaves. Developing into a more focused, indie-rock sound, the sophomore album was their first full-length under Topshelf Records, with the guidance of an outside producer and written and recorded as a quartet after the addition of guitarist Matt Fazzi in 2012. The Daily Illini interviewed bassist Tucker Yaro to discuss the making of their recent album, its promotional touring and what’s next for the rising rock band.

of Fazzi affect the writing and recording process at all? TY: Well, Matt brings a lot to the table. The biggest thing, I think the most obvious thing, is the vocal harmony. We really focus on kind of doubling it in an octavessense, and Matt’s contribution to the group comes out so strongly in the vocal arrangements. And then I think he’s a tremendous performer; he just brings a whole element of life to our live performance.

The Daily Illini: What was it like writing and recording this album under a label and outside producer Ed Ackerson in comparison to your first DIY album from 2010, “Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex?” Tucker Yaro: That was a totally different process for us versus self production, which, for our previous full-length album, lasted over a year. I think the songs came out a little different; I don’t know if it’s the process of growing as writers or it was guided by the process of being apart while we were doing it. But I think it’s a good direction. This time around, we were kind of under the pressure of time and paying for time, and I think that streamlined the final product a lot. We had to make decisions in that moment. And so that ended up streamlining our ideas down to a more cohesive, kind of pop-rock sound. And (Ackerson) was just the best to work with for us because he totally respected our group dynamic. DI: Did the recent addition

DI: I read that Justin Pierre (Motion City Soundtrack) stopped in the studio to add guest vocals to “Pet Mouse.” What was that experience like? TY: That was great. I know he’s someone that we all look up to. I’ve listened to his music for many, many years, (and) our first tour as a band was with Motion City Soundtrack; that’s how we got to know him. We were thrilled when he said he’d be willing to come down. He learned the parts ... you know, we sent him some parts and he came in knowing those and having some ideas and we had a lot of fun.

19+ show has a $10 cover charge at the door and is expected to sell out, Fein said. Doors open an hour before showtime at 9 p.m. Tucker Yaro, bassist in AGBPOL, said the band was excited to be touring with SSLYBY, whom they’ve repeatedly cited as an influence for their band’s work. “We’ve always talked about this being the greatest tour for two bands with the longest names ever,” Yaro joked. “We thought it would be the most ridiculous

possible concert posters, so that’s probably the greatest thing about touring with them.” Both bands will be promoting their latest album releases, with SSLYBY’s fourth studio album being the most recent, released on Sept. 17, and AGBPOL’s sophomore release “You’re Always On My Mind” having debuted on July 2 through Topshelf Records. Although of different energies and distinct styles, both bands make a power Indie-rock duo to entice local music fans to come out and enjoy a night of new and

familiar sounds. Alexis Hunzinger, DJ at Pizza FM and sophomore in LAS, said she first listened to SSLYBY’s newest album while going through releases received at the Pizza FM offices. “It’ll be interesting to see how their style translates in person, knowing that they have a more toned-down, calmer style (on the recording) and if that’s going to show in the performance setting,” she said. In contrast to a string of acoustic EP releases in 2011, AGBPOL’s latest work promises

to bring a high-energy set for Saturday night, nuanced with performances of new material, dynamic vocal harmonies and live improvisations, Yaro said. “I like all the stuff that Topshelf Records puts out ... that’s why I got into (AGBPOL),” said Veronica Mullen, junior in Media. “They give off a cool vibe in their shows from what I’ve heard, and I’ve heard they’re a really good band to see live.”

Basketball to hold scrimmage BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Illinois fans will get their first opportunity to see the 2013-14 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team on Thursday at the State Farm Center, when the Illini face off in the Orange and Blue intrasquad scrimmage. The scrimmage will pit two seven-man teams against each other, and the members of each team will differ during each of the four 8-minute quarters. Nine Illini â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five freshmen and four transfers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will play in front of fans for the first time. The new players have been learning their spot on the team, both literally and figuratively. Groce said assistant coach Dustin Ford spent five minutes Tuesday teaching the players which positions sit where on the bench. With less than three weeks of practice finished and all of the new

faces, the systems arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite in place, either, Groce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question (the systems will be basic at the scrimmage),â&#x20AC;? Groce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not necessarily because we want to be basic, but because we have to be basic right now. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mastered anything yet.â&#x20AC;? The players put on their jerseys and played for the first time at a Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic last weekend, and Groce said he could immediately recognize the youth and unfamiliarity with each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time our new faces, in an Illinois uniform, have played in front of people, and I think we did a couple things out of character,â&#x20AC;?

Fall season prepares womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis for spring BY ALEX ROUX STAFF WRITER

During the fall season, each member of the team will compete in approximately three individual tournaments to help prepare themselves for Act 2: the spring season. Although not quite as intense as the

spring season, Illini head coach Michelle Dasso said the fall does come with several benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting to know your team chemistry,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trying to solidify or at least experiment with some potential doubles teams. Individual growth, and trying to get as many matches as you can.â&#x20AC;? There are five total tournaments on the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall schedule, and the team has already competed in three. With each

player allowed 25 total competition dates per year, about 21 of those are saved for the spring season of dual matches and Big Ten play. One date will be used for a trip to Hawaii this winter, leaving three dates for entry into fall tournaments for each member of the team. These fall tournaments serve as a tune-up for the spring season. Seniors Allison Falkin and Misia Kedzierski and junior Julia Jamieson have gone

While the fall tournaments can provide a measuring stick for success against high-quality opponents, it also provides the opportunity to get in shape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work on getting back into shape and then adding a little more dimension to our games,â&#x20AC;? Kedzierski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fall is a lot of morning workouts at the track, at the (football) stadium, any opportunity we get, we try and get an extra workout in.â&#x20AC;? Falkin, Kedzierski and Jamie-

through fall seasons multiple times. They have experienced the ins and outs of each year and have clear expectations for what each fall brings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall is really about getting your game perfect, just getting it cleaned up and ready for spring season because it comes really fast,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically the fall tournaments are just opportunities to practice those new things to perfect them for the spring season.â&#x20AC;?

son agree the fall conditioning schedule is more rigorous than in spring, which makes for more physically demanding practices. With a heavier schedule in the spring, making time for conditioning in the fall is a must. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do a lot of conditioning early on so come spring we stay healthy,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come springtime, there is not a lot of free time.â&#x20AC;?

Injuries bring much change to Illinois soccer team ARYN BRAUN Illini columnist

I

njuries can be demoralizing. They can break the spirit of teams and individuals and wreak havoc upon expectations. Say a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star player gets hurt. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not season ending, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no timetable for their return. How do you cope? How do you fill the hole left by their absence? Sometimes you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Illinois soccer is dealing with

this exact problem. Senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo suffered a knee sprain in the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Iowa in late September and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the field since. Every week itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;maybe.â&#x20AC;? Maybe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be OK. Maybe today is the day. Maybe we can will her to get better. Head coach Janet Rayfield has had to dig deep and depend on her bench. Inexperienced athletes who have only played limited minutes in the past â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like midfielders Megan Green and Noelle Leary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have stepped into bigger roles in the offense.

On top of that, other players have had to switch positions completely to adjust for missing or injured teammates. Sophomore Aliina Weykamp made the switch from midfield to defense while Amy Feher has stepped outside of her purely defensive role to help out on offense. But sometimes injuries do something for a team that nothing else can. It forces individuals to come together to fill that hole, to move on despite their struggles. Injuries are never desired. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an answer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;how do I get my team on the same page?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unfortunate event that

can sometimes motivate people to perform above and beyond. Take the Louisville Cardinals for example. During March Madness this past year, in an Elite Eight game against Duke, sophomore guard Kevin Ware suffered a break to his right tibia. Ware was carried off the court with around six minutes remaining before halftime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the video of his gruesome injury went viral in a matter of minutes. How does a team come back from that? Watching a teammate and friend go down, not knowing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong or if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever be able to play basket-

ball again. But the Cards fought. They beat Duke 85-63 and went on the win the national championship, Kevin Ware constantly in their thoughts. Could Louisville have won without the extra inspiration? No one can tell. And obviously the entire program would rather Ware had never been injured, but he was, and perhaps the championship was a result of the injury, at least in part. Can soccer band together in the same way? DiBernardo isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out for the season. She may even return to face Northwest-

ern Thursday evening in Evanston, Ill. But she might not, and then what? Her teammates continue to adjust. They figure out which lineup works best. They show toughness and they buy in to the idea that they can be successful even though their rock, their captain, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t running alongside them. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the bench, only a few feet away, cheering them on.

It seems as if Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball program is a perennial favorite to compete for the national championship. But that reputation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much when it plays in Huff Hall. The Illini and the No. 4 Nittany Lions will renew their heated rivalry Friday for the first of two matches this season. Despite the Nittany Lions holding a large advantage in the all-time record books, winning 39 of 48 matches, the Illini have had success against them at Huff Hall in recent years. Illinois has won two of the past three matches at Huff Hall, with their only loss coming after holding a 14-10 fifth set lead and letting it get away last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be great for confidence to beat Penn State,â&#x20AC;? head coach Kevin Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need wins, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be great to get a win in any one. ... Beat-

ing Penn State is as important as beating anyone else, but maybe because it means more to everybody around, it could give us a little more confidence.â&#x20AC;? As usual with Penn State, getting a win wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. The Nittany Lions are 14-2 on the season and 5-1 in the conference, winning their last five games in a row. Inconsistency has plagued the Illini so far this season, leaving the team with a 7-9 record overall and 3-3 in the Big Ten. Penn State has been great on both sides of the ball, leading the conference in hitting percentage at .314 and holding opponents to a conference-low .137 hitting percentage. This does not bode well for Illinois, who is ranked No. 11 of 12 in both of these categories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our serve-receive is really going to help us this weekend,â&#x20AC;? junior outside hitter Morganne Criswell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can use everybody and really spread out

our hitters. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be big for us.â&#x20AC;? No. 17 Ohio State will also be making its return to Huff Hall this weekend for the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual breast cancer awareness game, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workout a Cureâ&#x20AC;? match. For the match, the Illini will be wearing special edition pink jerseys that have already been auctioned off to raise awareness for the disease. The Illini and the Illini Networkers raised over $4,000 through auctions of the jerseys during the final weekend of September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It keeps growing, we keep raising more money,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said about the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become something the girls get excited about. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become something the community gets behind.

Hockey gears up for Robert Morris BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illini hockey team is looking for a couple of victories this weekend, but will need to make adjustments in the lineup first. Illinois (4-3-1) will host No. 5 Robert Morris (6-0-1) this weekend in the team’s third consecutive weekend playing against a top 10 opponent. The puck will drop at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, the team’s usual start time, but Saturday’s game will instead take place at 2:00 p.m. After two weekends of poor offensive production, head coach Nick Fabbrini said he will be looking to spark the team’s goal scorers by switching up offensive lines, especially on the power play, which was only able to score once in nine chances last weekend against No. 2 Arizona State. The No. 7 Illini are also expected to drop in the ACHA national rankings when this week’s polls are released Friday afternoon, having yet to defeat a DivisionI ACHA opponent in four tries. Robert Morris has already beaten No. 8 Delaware, No. 18 John Carroll and No. 23 Niaga-

ra this season and are looking to add Illinois to the list of ranked teams they’ve defeated. Fabbrini said he’s looking for consistency in the Illini’s play, whether it’s playing with the same intensity on every shift or simply finishing checks. “There’s a difference between playing a physical game and playing dirty,” Fabbrini said. “We’re not a dirty team and we don’t want to be a dirty team. That style of play doesn’t suit us. We’re one of the smaller teams in the country, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be physical and finish all our checks.” Senior John Scully said the team’s physical play dominated No. 2 Arizona State early in last Saturday’s game, until the Sun Devils scored and the Illini enforcers began to let up. The three Arizona State power play goals came from boarding, checking from behind and unsportsmanlike conduct calls — all instances of physical play taken too far in the referees’ eyes. “The first five or 10 minutes were pretty good, and then there you go; take a penalty or two and

they pop in two goals,” Scully said. “It’s tough to come back, especially when we’re not producing like that.” Scully said when the Illini give away as many power play opportunities to a team as they did against Arizona State, the other team is bound to score goals. “We put Arizona State on the power play a couple times, and they made us pay for it just about every time,” Scully said. “If we don’t give them those chances and we capitalize on ours, it might be a completely different weekend.” Illinois’ physical play may be the key to opening up more opportunities to score a goal — something the Illini have only done once in their past three games and their most damaging issue at hand, having been shut out twice in their last three games. “We have a lot of talent and a lot of guys who can score goals,” Fabbrini said. “We just need them to start doing it.”

Illinois’ Jannelle Flaws chases the ball down during Illinois’ win over Wisconsin at Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium on Saturday. Illinois plays Northwestern on Thursday and Penn State on Sunday.

Illinois soccer travels to N’western, Penn St. BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

The Illinois soccer team has another opportunity to gain valuable ground in the Big Ten standings within a week’s time. The Illini will play against Northwestern in Evanston, Ill., on Thursday night and against Penn State in State College, Penn., on Sunday. Coming off a big win against Wisconsin, Illinois looks to these two matches with confidence, but they know that even a team like the Northwestern Wildcats (3-92, 1-5-0) cannot be taken lightly. All but two of Northwestern’s nine losses this season have been by a deficit of one goal. The team has played five overtime matches and is coming off its first conference win of the season against Minnesota. “It gives them hope,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “And hope can be a dangerous thing.” With the Big Ten as wide open as ever this season, Northwestern is still only a couple of wins out of eligibility for the Big Ten Tournament, despite being at the bottom of the standings. While the Wildcats have struggled tremendously on offense this season, their defense is a more organized group. Rayfield lauded their intelligent play at the back and said the Illini will have to really work for goals. “It means we’re going to

have to work,” Rayfield said. “It means we’re going to have to break them down, keep the ball and move and make great movements and great runs in order to open up ourselves to get shots.” The playing surface in Evanston will also present a unique challenge. Northwestern plays on turf, which tends to create much faster play. To prepare, the Illini held practice at the Irwin Indoor Facility. Freshman goalkeeper Claire Wheatley is used to the surface because she played most of her high school career on turf. Illinois will also look to not allow a letdown like last season when with a 1-0 lead, the Illini allowed the Wildcats to score two goals in the final ten minutes of the match. Whenever the two opponents get together, Northwestern always tends to play a little harder than its record might suggest. “It’s just probably one of those things,” junior forward Jannelle Flaws said. “I think especially being an in-state rival team is definitely something for them.” The Illini will play at Penn State on Sunday to take on the best offensive team in the conference. The Nittany Lions have taken the most shots, scored the most goals, assists and points so far this season. Senior forward Maya Hayes

has been right there with Flaws as one of the top scoring threats in the Big Ten. Hayes is tied with Flaws for the most points (goals and assists) and is second in goals with 13 in 14 matches. To improve defensively from the Wisconsin match, Rayfield said the team needs to do a better job at clearing the ball from its box and staying composed. Against a dangerous Penn State, that lesson is especially vital. “We’ve got to get to the point of it’s extremely urgent without panicking in our own defensive box,” Rayfield said. With two wins, Illinois would remain alive and well to play in the Big Ten Tournament it hosts in November. On the injury front for this weekend, senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo’s progress on her sprained knee remains in question. After missing four games in a row, Rayfield admits that DiBernardo’s healing process is moving a little more slowly than expected. “I’m just taking it day by day,” DiBernardo said. “(I’m) seeing the doctors and talking with them and whenever they’re ready and allow me to go back on the field, I will.”

The Illinois men’s golf team, which has already won two tournaments this fall, is poised to compete in one of the most prestigious college tournaments this weekend. The Isleworth Collegiate Invitational in Windermere, Fla., will play host to 15 of the elite NCAA Division I teams throughout the country. This will include two top-five teams in last year’s national champion No. 1 Alabama and perennial power No. 4 California. In total, there will be eight top-25 teams participating in the tournament. The Illini are not completely new to the tournament having participated from 2007-09, but it will be a new experience for every member of the current Illini team. Head coach Mike Small described the tournament as one of the best events in the country and said it is in very high demand. He said Windermere is a fun tournament for all of the players and a great experience considering it’s home to some of the best golf professionals in the world. Isleworth Golf & Country Club has consistently been ranked the longest and toughest course in Florida by the Florida State

Golf looks to ride momentum Women’s team prepares for Hoosier Fall Invitational BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Just one week after Illinois’ first victory at the Diane Thomason Invitational, the Illini hope to achieve another this weekend at the Hoosier Fall Invitational. With the recent win, the team’s confidence level is high. “I think that we are so excited and so motivated to win again, that each one of us is putting forth a great effort and hard work,” freshman Emily Joers said. Despite the success, there’s always room for improvement. In this case, it’s the individual work that needs some attention. Tuesday’s practice consisted of each team member creating their own practice plan. While Joers enjoys the team practices, the most beneficial ones are the solo ones. “Days that we get to do our

individual work I think help me the most, because I get to work on what I need to for as long as I want,” Joers said. Fellow teammate junior Sam Postillion also shares this thought, as she said, “We all individually saw where our flaws were over the weekend.” Something that everyone competing will need to take advantage of, though, is the practice round, since the team has not yet seen or played at the Hickory Stick Golf Club. “It’ll be really important to just hit a lot of different shots while we’re in our practice round to get a feel for the speed of green and just if we need to club up on certain holes,” Postillion said. Even so, head coach Renee Slone doesn’t feel this would give her team a disadvantage at the Indiana-hosted competition. From what she could find from the golf club’s website, the course’s set-up is similar to that of the Stone Creek Golf Club in Urbana, so Thursday’s practice is planned to take place there. As for whether any opposing

team could challenge the Illini, Slone said it’s still too early in the season to tell. “Since we play our sport on a different golf course every single time, every team has a great opportunity,” Slone said. “So for most schools so far, they may have only played three tournaments, some maybe only two tournaments, so far this season.” However, both Slone and Joers feel Purdue is a threat for them this weekend, but they still feel the team has what it takes to capture another win. To attain another victory, Illinois must defeat 14 other teams, five of which are Big Ten teams. This weekend’s roster will consist of juniors Erin Ahern and Postillion, freshmen Joers and Stephanie Miller, and senior Ember Schuldt. Junior Jackie Calamaro will also make the trip to the tournament, where she will compete as an individual.

Institute, I think it means more.â&#x20AC;? Hambly went on to say Ohio State will be hard to game plan for as it presents a different style of play relative to Penn State. The Buckeyes play with a high tempo, run a variety of combinations and are able disrupt defensive sets. In previous weekends, Hambly said, specifically noting Michigan and Michigan State, the Illini would be playing teams with similar styles of play. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case this time around. Illinois and Ohio State have been fairly even in terms of their all-time series record, with the Buckeyes narrowly edging out the Illini 38 games to 36. The Buck-

Senior Joseph Bertrand said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect much of a difference in the way the team will play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be the same system just with different players in it doing different things,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be pretty much the same.â&#x20AC;?

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country hopes for top-10 finish CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Head coach Scott Jones hopes new practice technique will be a stepping stone toward the Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crosscountry teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been knocking on the door for a while with many runners and now is the time to make that jump,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. The team will be competing in both the Bradley Classic, which will be held in Peoria on Friday, and pre-nationals on Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind. It has been two weeks since the last time the Illini have run in a meet. During that time, Jones has implemented a series of sophisticated techniques to his practices. His techniques involve showing discipline in the paces the runners train in, being able to shift gears and being aware that there canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be moments of running too fast or too slow. Jones said the technique was difficult, but the team was able to get it at the first attempt. The runners have responded positively to the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all kind of learning together,â&#x20AC;? sophomore Alyssa Schneider said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do like the new coaching style, though. We start off conservatively and are able to push on when we need to during the race.â&#x20AC;? Jones is looking for a more complete team race in both meets. After two meets, it is hard to develop confidence, but he believes the team is slowly developing to a point where they can be competitive. The top-seven runners from the Notre Dame Invitational â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seniors Katie Porada and Stephanie Morgan, sophomores Alyssa Schneider, Aman-

da Fox, Britten Petrey, and freshmen Hanna Winter and Audrey Blazek â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be participating in the pre-nationals meet on Saturday. Jones is hoping some of his runners will be on the cusp of a top-10 finish, one of whom is Stephanie Morgan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this is a big meet for her,â&#x20AC;? Jones said of his senior runner, who will be running her second meet of the year after missing the first few meets due to injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She will be able to run pain-free and she will be somebody who will a difference for the team in the contribution of points.â&#x20AC;? It will also be the second meet of the season for Porada. She missed the first few meets of the season while questioning whether she would be able to balance college athletics and academics. She ultimately decided that she could bear the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in my heart to race this season,â&#x20AC;? Porada said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided that it would be best for me to be out there.â&#x20AC;? There will also be seven runners competing in the Bradley Classic on Friday. Juniors Rachel Irion and Chloe Schmidt, sophomores Michelle Frigo and Natalie Wynn and freshmen Valarie Bobart, Kim Seger and Megan Lemersal are the mixed group Jones will watch to help him determine who will be a part of the nine runners in the Big Ten Championships in two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing to have this opportunity to have all these runners compete and help us see who will help us compete later on,â&#x20AC;? Jones said.

as motivation to help it maintain focus during the layoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a problem for us after the way we ran at Notre Dame,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a disappointing day, and our guys have been working hard since then to make sure that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.â&#x20AC;? The Bradley Pink Classic on Friday will be a part of Homecoming weekend at Bradley. All participants will wear pink jerseys in support of breast cancer awareness. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship race will include 22 schools from around the Midwest. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field at Wisconsin will include 20 of the top-30 teams in the country, according to the most recent U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association poll, as well as five other Big Ten rivals. In this race, Stewart will send out his postseason team of Toepfer, McDonnell, Barnett, sophomore Liam Markham, freshman Will Brewster, sophomore Tommy King and sophomore Paul Zeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were prepared going into Notre Dame, and for some reason it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t materialize,â&#x20AC;? McDonnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is our race, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think anything can stop us right now.â&#x20AC;?

The differences in fall and spring seasons extend beyond scheduling. Fall tournaments consist of only individual tournaments, split into singles and doubles brackets. The spring season contains dual matches, where the Illini compete as a team against other schools. The spring includes the Big Ten season, the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at it almost as two separate seasons: individual and team,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team portion is what college tennis is all about. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until dual matches, I love it.â&#x20AC;? Fall provides the Illini with the opportunity to get a preview of the competition they will face in dual matches come spring. It also gives the players a chance to boost their individual resumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get practice matches in, and we get a little bit of a view of the Big Ten teams,â&#x20AC;? Falkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you try to get a ranking for yourself.â&#x20AC;? A high individual ranking improves a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of receiving a bid to the NCAA Championships in May. However, the fall season has no impact on team rankings, according to Dasso. The Illini host the Midwest Blast, a fall favorite among players, starting Nov. 1 before wrapping up the fall season with the Harvard Invitational. The team will then revert back to an out-of-season schedule, where they will practice and condition until winter break. The spring season kicks into gear in mid-January, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and preparation hopefully pays off. Tennis is among a handful of Illini sports that have no real offseason. At this point in their tennis careers, the players are accustomed to handling a year-round schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing year-round since freshman year of high school,â&#x20AC;? Jamieson said. Any jealousy of other sports and their offseasons is eradicated by the benefits of playing full time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I do defi nitely envy people that have that off time, but it gives us a little bit of an advantage being an athlete because we know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to stay mentally strong all yearround,â&#x20AC;? Kedzierski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we never have a break, we never get so out of shape and we can get back into it quickly.â&#x20AC;? The fall is certainly important for rankings, experience and preparation. It is a grind, where tournaments and off-days offer a reprieve from earlymorning conditioning and workouts. But the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main objectives lie ahead, and Jamieson sums it up best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring is the ultimate goal.â&#x20AC;?

in front of Illini fans this season, something junior transfer Rayvonte Rice experienced last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to them about it, just how they have to stay calm and just wait and have patience,â&#x20AC;? Rice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their time will come.â&#x20AC;? The scrimmage also marks the first time Illinois will compete at the State Farm Center since the name was changed from Assembly Hall in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit to get used to, but it still looks the same and everything,â&#x20AC;? Bertrand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be hard to adapt to.â&#x20AC;?

eyes have struggled thus far against conference opponents, going 2-4 and losing their past two matches. The Buckeyes do roster the most formidable hitter in the conference in Kaitlyn Leary, who leads the conference with 335 kills and a 4.93 kills per set average, which also ranks fourth in the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping we can get (Ohio State) out of system a little bit more than we did last year,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better defending than we have in the past, so I hope we can be better defending the outside as well. (Leary) can defi nitely get on runs. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special outside hitter, a special point scorer, especially.â&#x20AC;?

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country expects big results in two meets this weekend BY THOMAS DONLEY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After two weeks of inactivity, the Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country team will take part in the Bradley Pink Classic in Peoria, Ill., on Friday and the Adidas Invitational at Wisconsin on Saturday. The team is coming off a disappointing outing at Notre Dame on Oct. 4 in which they finished 12th overall, paced by senior Jannis Toepfer, who finished sixth with a time of 24 minutes, 36 seconds. A contributing factor to the low finish at South Bend, Ind., for the Illini was sophomore Ian Barnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to finish the race due to an injury. The injury will not keep Barnett out of the Adidas Invitational. Illini head coach Jake Stewart said his team is currently the healthiest it has been all season. Junior Brendan McDonnell said the Illini have spent the two weeks since their last race pushing themselves and testing their conditioning with their sights set on Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has bounced back from Notre Dame,â&#x20AC;? McDonnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things where we just keep our heads up and look towards the next race.â&#x20AC;? McDonnell is excited to compete this weekend for the fi rst time since he fi nished 95th overall at Notre Dame with a time of 25:45. Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has used its previous meet
