Illini appreciate Lincoln Hall University time capsule commemorates Illinois’ current, past accomplishments BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

Although classes have been taking place inside Lincoln Hall since August, alumni visiting for Homecoming Weekend were able to see the building’s renovations for the first time at an open house Saturday. Events at the open house included selfguided tours of the building and a performance by the Marching Illini. Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Mike Bohlmann, LAS alumnus and director of information technology in the College of Media, sealed a time capsule that will be placed inside the building at a rededication ceremony this February.

Representatives from the college of LAS selected five items to put into the capsule from a list of ideas submitted by students, faculty and alumni. “About 150 ideas were submitted, and then a committee of us chose what were the most practical, what would actually fit in the time capsule and what seemed to be the most popular,” said Holly Rushakoff, media communications specialist in LAS. In an online contest, students, faculty and alumni then voted on their favorite item. The prize, which Bohlmann won for his idea of putting in Lincoln Hall historical photos, was the chance to seal the capsule with the chancellor. All of the top

five items made it into the capsule as well; the college also received donated items. Some items included the original iClicker, which was developed in the University Department of Physics, a sensor chip to represent discoveries in nanotechnology, corn from the morrow plots, a scroll signed by current students who wrote about their daily lives on campus and a list of ideas for objects to be put in the capsule because not everything could fit. The capsule will be opened in 2063, giving current students time to become alumni and visit campus again, like those who did so Saturday. Many graduates along with their families filtered through the building, getting a chance to see their old classrooms and rub the nose of the statue of Abraham Lincoln for good luck, a long-lived tra-

As Veteran’s Day approaches, student groups planned ahead and prepared packages to send to military members abroad on the Quad on Saturday. The package drive was sponsored by the Office of Volunteer Programs and Native American House as part of the National Day of Service and co-sponsored by registered student organizations Illini Veterans and Native American Student Organization. Thomas Ferrarell, member of the Native American Student Organizations and senior in LAS, said student volunteers spent the day gathering donations that soldiers had requested. Items included food, games, writing utensils, stationery and reading materials. “A lot of these things help them have these comforts that they don’t have out in the field,” said Jamie Singson, director of the Native American House. “We sent them things that would help them stay engaged when they’re in those moments of waiting for those long periods of time.” Jessica Vargas, freshman in LAS, was one of many who donated items. She described giving back to the military as an honor. “Giving back to those who are actively fighting for our country is such an honorable act,” Vargas said. “Even if it is just by giving common toiletries or canned goods, I feel good about myself doing it.” National Day of Service, also known as Make A Difference

DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

The living dead rose at Allen Hall on Saturday night as a crowd of students dressed as zombies congregated for fl ash mob performances to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The event, Zombie Mob, is an Allen Hall tradition for Halloween. The resident advisors hosted rehearsals every night for one week leading up to the performances, during which they taught participants the choreography. David O’Donoghue, sophomore in FAA, danced with the Zombie Mob for his second consecutive year. “It was easier this year, having done it last year,” O’Donoghue said. O’Donoghue said he struggles with dancing but “was able to get (the routine) down easily.” The group performed at seven locations including outside Allen Hall, inside the Ikenberry Commons and as the halftime entertainment at the Men’s Basketball game at Assembly Hall. O’Donoghue said he was not shaken by performing in front of the crowd at the game. “Since it was during halftime and we had to do it really quickly, there was not time to be like, ‘Oh my god, I’m performing in front of all these people,’” he said.

Leveraging Science and Technology to Transform International Security: The Social Responsibility of Engineers and Scientists Charles D. Ferguson

President, Federation of American Scientists, Washington, DC

Traditionally, security has often been narrowly viewed through the lens of military defense and acquisition of weapons. This view must change. Today and increasingly in the future, every nation’s security will depend more and more on a new mindset: the security of everyone will hinge on cooperative means to ensure adequate energy, food, and water. However, humanity is on an unsustainable path in use of these resources. Increasing competition for scarcer supplies could lead to major armed conflict or other massive suffering. Dr. Ferguson will discuss the role of engineers and scientists in developing and deploying science and technology to achieve greater security for all nations. These presentations are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Center for Advanced Study at 333-6729 or www.cas.illinois.edu.

of friends or family. They were expected to register their project several weeks before the event and spread the word through social media to raise awareness and recruit help. They were also encouraged to take pictures and share them on Facebook on the Make A Difference Day photo album. After volunteers completed their projects, they filled out a form describing the results of their project and the impact their

service had on the community. Organization judges will select 10 submitted projects for national Make A Difference Day Awards, which include $10,000 donations to each project. The Gannett Foundation and USA Weekend Magazine will also donate $10,000 to a former national honoree who shows continued excellence in volunteerism.

Officials cancel tsunami advisory in Hawaii THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU — Officials in Hawaii canceled a tsunami advisory for the state’s coastline early Sunday, paving the way for beaches and harbors to reopen after widespread fears of waves generated from a powerful earthquake off the coast of Canada. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center lifted its tsunami advisory Sunday morning just before 4 a.m. local time, three hours after downgrading from a warning and less than six hours after the waves fi rst hit the islands. Center officials said wave heights were diminishing, though swimmers and boaters should be careful of strong or unusual currents. The biggest waves — about 5 feet high — appeared to hit Maui. A popular triathlon set for the island was expected to go on as planned, with county lifeguards

giving the OK for a 1 mile ocean swim. There were no immediate reports of damage, though one person died in a fatal crash near a road that was closed because of the threat near Oahu’s north shore. Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie said the state was lucky to avoid more severe surges. “We’re very, very grateful that we can go home tonight counting our blessings,” Abercrombie said. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service canceled tsunami advisories for Canada, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California. At fi rst, officials said Hawaii wasn’t in any danger of a tsunami after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which sparked tsunami warnings for southern Alaska and western Canada. Later, officials issued a warning for Hawaii as well, saying

Illegal immigrants get a chance for higher education

Hooked on Apple

A tsunami warning means an area is likely to be hit by a wave, while an advisory means there may be strong currents, but that widespread inundation is not expected to occur.

CHICAGO — When 25-year-old Rigoberto Padilla first enrolled in one of Chicago’s community colleges in 2007, there were few financial aid options available for illegal immigrants like him. He was brought to the country from Mexico at age 6 when his family crossed the California border illegally for a new life in Chicago. Starting this Thursday, Illinois officials expect thousands of young immigrants to apply for help for college through a privately-funded state scholarship program. Immigrant students in Illinois — whether they have papers or not — can apply for tuition help to Illinois colleges and universities because of the Illinois DREAM Fund, which was created by state legislation passed in 2011. Officials with the fund say special focus will be given to students who don’t have legal status to stay in the country. “Undocumented students are ineligible for federal aid,” said Tanya Cabrera, head of the fund and associate director of minority student outreach at Illinois Institute of Technology. “We’re not covering everything, but we are giving students a large sum to help them minimize their fi nancial burden.” The fund has raised $500,000 in private donations so far. Immigrant students attending twoyear colleges are eligible to apply for $2,000 scholarships and those attending four-year institutions can apply for $6,000. While some states have tightened regulations around illegal immigration in recent years, Illinois has continued to institute policies that give it some of the most immigrant-friendly policies in the country. There was little opposition to the college scholarship fund, which had backing from top leaders in the state. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel praised the fund, saying last week in a statement that it encouraged students to “pursue their education regardless of their legal status. This fund will help remove the biggest barrier

to immigrants pursuing higher education: cost.” Applicants must have at least a 2.5 GPA, and a minimum ACT score of 17 is required of those just graduating high school. Some critics of the scholarship fund have suggested that it could lead to more illegal immigration, which Illinois officials dismissed. “We are trying to take care of the immigrants who are here,” Cabrera said. “We are trying to provide them access. It’s unfortunate that others don’t recognize that.” She expects 5,000 students to apply for scholarship money this year. The fund is working to raise $5 million. “We want to make the scholarship renewable,” Cabrera said. “We don’t want students to saying, ‘It’s a one-time thing so what happens next?’” The Illinois scholarships also come during a shift in federal policy toward young illegal immigrants. Federal officials announced new guidelines earlier this year that provide a two-year protection from deportation to certain young people brought to this country illegally and the chance to apply for a work permit. The federal government began accepting applications in August. Some groups estimate that as many as 1.7 million people could be eligible; an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants live in the U.S. Padilla is now pursuing a graduate degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He will not be applying for a DREAM Fund scholarship, having secured funding through other scholarships. But he hopes the fund will encourage undocumented students to go to college. “More and more undocumented youth are being discouraged to continue their educations because of the immigration climate,” said Padilla, also a member of the scholarship fund’s administrative board. “Through the Illinois Dream Fund, we’re trying to give undocumented youth a bit of hope and motivation.”

Supreme Court takes another look at Voting Rights Act requirements BY JAY REEVES AND MARK SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Three years ago, the Supreme Court warned there could be constitutional problems with a landmark civil rights law that has opened voting booths to millions of African-Americans. Now, opponents of a key part of the Voting Rights Act are asking the high court to fi nish off that provision. The basic question is whether state and local governments that once boasted of their racial discrimination still can be forced in the 21st century to get federal permission before making changes in the way they hold elections. Some of the governments covered — most of them are in the South — argue they have turned away from racial discrimination over the years. But Congress and lower courts that have looked at recent challenges to the law concluded that a history of discrimination and more recent efforts to harm minority voters justify continuing federal oversight. The Supreme Court could say as early as Monday whether it will consider ending the Voting Rights Act’s advance approval requirement that has been held up as a crown jewel of the civil rights era. The justices sidestepped this very issue in a case from Texas in 2009. In an opinion joined by eight justices, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote then that the issue of advance approval “is a difficult constitutional question we do not answer today.” Since then, Congress has not addressed potential problems identified by the court. Meanwhile, the law’s opponents sensed its vulnerability and fi led several new lawsuits. The advance approval, or preclearance requirement, was adopted in the Voting Rights Act in 1965 to give federal officials a potent tool to defeat persistent efforts to keep blacks from voting. The provision was a huge success, and Congress periodically has renewed it over the years. The most recent occasion was in 2006, when a Republican-led Congress overwhelmingly approved and President George W. Bush signed a 25-year extension.

President Lyndon Baines Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in a ceremony in the President’s Room near the Senate Chambers on Capitol Hill in Washington. Three years ago, the Supreme Court warned there could be constitutional problems with a landmark civil rights law that has opened voting booths to millions of African-Americans. The requirement currently applies to the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. It also covers certain counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina and South Dakota, and some local jurisdictions in Michigan and New Hampshire. Coverage has been triggered by past discrimination not only against blacks, but also against American Indians, Asian-Americans, Alaskan Natives and Hispanics. Before these locations can change their voting rules, they must get approval either from the U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights division or from the federal district court in Washington that the

new rules won’t discriminate. Congress compiled a 15,000-page record and documented hundreds of instances of apparent voting discrimination in the states covered by the law dating to 1982, the last time it had been extended. Among the incidents in the congressional record: —In 1998, Webster County, Ga., tried to reduce the black population in several school board districts after citizens elected a majority-black school board for the first time. —In 2001, Kilmichael, Miss., canceled an election when a large number of African-American candidates sought local office following 2000 census results that showed blacks had become the

majority in the city. —In 2004, Waller County, Texas, sought to limit early voting near a historically black college and threatened to prosecute students for illegal voting after two black students said they would run for office. But in 2009, Roberts indicated the court was troubled about the ongoing need for a law in the face of dramatically improved conditions, including increased minority voter registration and turnout rates. Roberts attributed part of the change to the law itself. “Past success alone, however, is not adequate justification to retain the preclearance requirements,” he said.

POLITICAL CARTOON

The University pays the price for excessive spending, salaries

T

his University has a history of spending enormous sums of money on its faculty, administrators and athletic coaches, but this is not breaking news to anyone. But on the day that The Daily Illini issues its yearly publication of the Salary Guide, these numbers cannot be forgotten or ignored. The University is currently paying $7.12 million to have three coaches not coach at Illinois. Former men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber will receive $1.3 million a year to coach at Kansas State University. We are finishing out Ron Zook’s contract of $2.6 million over the two years since he was fired in December as he works for CBS Sports as a college football studio analyst. Jolette Law was hired at Tennessee, one of the winningest programs in the nation, as an assistant coach for the women’s basketball team. Law is being paid a mere 25 percent of what Zook will earn, but that is still a whopping $620,000 over the two years after her firing in March. When current men’s basketball coach John Groce came from Ohio University, which advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in 2012 — a tournament Illinois did not qualify for — he earned a base salary of $300,000, reported The Chicago Tribune in March. At Illinois, he earns $1.4 million, almost five times what he made before. Head football coach Tim Beckman has signed a five-year contract with the University, and according to The USA Today’s College Football Coach salary database, he made $409,000 at the University of Toledo. These extraordinary numbers are the result of coaches’ absolute values, or their worth determined by their success but are also unfortunately the result of their relative value, or their worth in terms of the scarce few who are qualified to hold such positions — their supply and demand market value. Although these astronomical salaries do not come from state or direct University support, they help encourage a culture of high-spending. Arguably, there is a fine line of spending too much money on an administration, which has more than proven itself to be incapable of leading this school and spending enough money to maintain a world class faculty — the heart and backbone of this University, in tandem with a highly qualified student body. Thankfully, we have people like President Robert Easter, who came out of retirement to serve this University at a salary $200,000 less than former President Michael Hogan. In fact, Easter makes $50,000 less a year than vice-president Phyllis Wise. Easter’s salary — and the salary of former President Stanley O. Ikenberry who also came out of retirement when the University needed him — although still high, show a certain degree of care for the well-being of this University: It meant more to be there to help this school than it did to make more money. This year, the University spent $1.49 billion on salaries for all faculty and administration, but we fear that number may continue to senselessly rise at the detriment of this school. And you’ll find all these numbers inside the salary guide. What we can only hope from this guide is that students, taxpayers, politicians, administration and alumni hold this University accountable. This school is more to all of us than a series of complex numbers listed out in a 16-page guide and database. It is an institution that has served us with some of the greatest opportunities afforded to the modern student and provided us with four great years of memories. We can’t let a culture of excessive spending tarnish that.

Honest answers needed on graduate employees’ living, budget JOSEPH VANDEHEY Opinions columnist

F

ive years ago, my mind was abuzz with questions. “Which graduate school should I attend?” “How much work will there be?” “What is it like to teach a class?” “After all is said and done, is graduate school worth it?” I toured the Midwest from school to school, and everywhere I went, current graduate students would answer these questions with brutal honesty. And their answers were key to my ultimate decision. The occasional cockroach in my office, I could handle; the workload so high I must give up all my hobbies, I could not. Universities want these questions answered in the best light possible, but universities are not the ones answering. We take into account the strength of the university and its departments when we choose where to apply, but after that point, what the university says about itself matters very little. In fact, on one of the most important questions — “Can I live on the salary offered?” — what the university says matters not one wit compared to what the students currently living on that salary say. This question (and its answer) is particularly relevant today. On the one hand, undergraduates are keeping a sharp eye on the University’s expenses, pouring over the Salary Guide to make sure their tuition is being well spent. On the other hand, the Graduate Employees’ Organization has been in contract negotia-

tions with the University administration to make sure that the budget is not balanced on graduate students’ backs. Much of the GEO’s platform is designed to make sure that key question — “Can I live on the salary offered?” — is answered yes. This includes making sure all assistants are paid a “living wage” of $16,926 a year, the amount the University itself says is the minimum standard for room and board and other basic expenses, and making sure that wages keep up with the pace of inflation. The GEO has also fought against attempts to nickle and dime graduate students through fees or to remove the guarantee of a tuition waiver: The salary itself means very little if the University can charge thousands in fees or tuition. To put these numbers into some context, that living wage is less than the individual salaries of every cook and maid on campus. Gregory Puleo, treasurer of the GEO, said that over the nine-month school year, the salaries of all assistants represented by the GEO account for over $30 million out of the University’s $5.5 billion total revenue budget for FY 2013. That’s about half of 1 percent of the total running cost of the University. The GEO’s proposed yearly increase in salaries, accounting for inflation plus two years of frozen wages since the last round of contracts, would still not likely bring that number over 0.7 percent of the total budget. Compare this with the University administration which accounts for about 3 percent of the University’s total budget and which, in FY 2012, increased by 17.7 percent. (Although, to be fair, 2011 and 2013 brought small contractions to this budget.)

I say all this not to shake my fist at the administration, but to point out that the GEO’s proposals are not unreasonable. Puleo recalled that in early bargaining sessions the University even emphasized the importance of tuition waivers to maintaining a strong graduate program. But then also emphasized their desire for flexibility on how they pay those waivers. More worryingly, the University has given a sly wink and nudge, saying that we should not worry because none of the proposed changes would affect us personally. How much it would effect the next generation of graduate students was left unsaid. This is not a particularly good tactic for the University to take. The University has corroded the trust graduate students place in it, whether by under-handed tactics in the last round of contract negotiations, flagrantly violating said contract, flagrantly ignoring the arbitration decision about said violation, or just whoopsy-daisy forgetting to pay some of its graduate employees. We graduate students know that our departments would fight tooth and nail for us, but we do not come off feeling the same way about the University administration itself. And we will tell prospective students that. “After all is said and done, is graduate school worth it?” Yes. “Is the University of Illinois a great place to be a graduate student?” Yes. “Will I be fairly and respectfully compensated for my work?” Well...

University smoking ban will benefit all students, faculty affected KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist

N

o one in my family, immediate or extended, smokes. When I turned 18, I was way more excited about the prospect of being able to vote than the ability to buy a pack of cigarettes. On first arriving to campus last year, I didn’t notice an extraordinary amount of smokers. Perhaps the main thing I noticed was the amount of cigarette butts lying around the Undergraduate Library. Thus, I honestly don’t think that I will notice or be affected by the new smoking ban that will be enacted in November 2013. While the University states eliminating secondhand smoke as the main reason the campus will go smoke-free, those who will be affected most by the ban are smokers themselves. Now, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health. Yet the addictive nature of cigarettes makes that fact all the less influential for smokers. After all, about 20 percent of the country smokes. What this smoking ban will do is essentially force smokers either to decrease their consumption of cigarettes or to encourage them to quit.

Those who live off-campus may be less inclined to quit because they can smoke at home. But those who live in the residence halls will more likely be moved toward quitting because they can no longer smoke outside of the residence halls. I see both of these effects as nothing but good things. In addition to decreasing the use of cigarettes by smokers, the ban will probably discourage students from choosing to take up smoking. This equates to more money in smokers’ pockets and a longer life ahead of them. Doesn’t sound like a huge affront to me. But I do understand the controversy surrounding the issue. Basically the entire campus is of the legal age to smoke. We all have the right. We all have the freedom to do so. And we all will still have the freedom to do so, just not on campus. The University does have the ability to make certain rules that benefit the health of its students. And the University decided that the negative effects of secondhand smoke were enough to impose a smoking ban. As much as I say that I don’t think I will notice the effect of the ban, I know that I have inhaled my fair share of secondhand smoke while on campus. To know that I will no longer have to subconsciously hold my breath as I walk into the UGL is comforting. Most importantly, the University needs to hold true to its claim

that it will provide many outlets for smokers to try to quit smoking. For immediate help, the Wellness Center website offers information and resources on how to quit. In addition to this, the University is currently figuring out how to develop a program to help students, faculty and staff quit smoking. If a successful program is not developed within a year, then many smokers will be left hanging and will have cause to be angry, creating a situation where the University should decide if it should go through with the ban. With the amount of controversy already surrounding this decision, it is essential that the University make these programs a focal point. The University needs to make clear what area the term “campus” applies to. Several specifics are up in the air right now, but committees will be working on how to best let smokers know where they can and cannot smoke. Once this information is available, it needs to be easily accessible and highly publicized, for that is only fair and is essential for the ban to be successful. Smokers should look at this ban as a way to improve their health. Sure, it may be an inconvenience. It may be difficult. But in the long run, I think you’ll thank the University for it.

ast week, I heard a story about a girl. A girl around the same age as me. A girl that could have been me. She was walking along in a park in Winnsboro, La., when three men in hoodies jumped out and attacked her. They keyed her car with racial slurs, including “KKK,” and set this poor girl on fire. Horrified, angry and confused about the actions of mankind and racism, I began to type out an angry and embittered column. There were many things that shocked me about this story, especially the amount of hate that people are capable of displaying. It always disappoints me when people are outright racist; it downright saddens me when people have to go out and display that kind of ignorance and bigotry by keying a woman’s car and setting her on fire. Originally, I was upset that the police and the FBI were hesitant to call it a hate crime because they didn’t know the race of the perpetrators. That’s upsetting because it doesn’t necessarily have to be white on black to be a hate crime: It can be any race attacking any race to be a hate crime. However, now I’m upset for completely different reasons. Because after I started to type out my column, I turned away from it for a couple of days because I wanted get out all of my unreasonable emotions before I wrote my real opinion on it. But when I came back, the news reports changed. In an upsetting new twist, it turns out that she made up the story. Police reports claim that she burned herself — no one had attacked her. Authorities figured this out via the fingerprints on the lighter and lighter fluid. Oh. My God. Now, a tiny piece of me feels for the girl. I don’t know whether she did this for attention, or just has some mental illness. Regardless of the reason, someone needs to take care of her. It’s not every day that you feel that you need to set yourself on fire, and I don’t imagine it’s easy to watch yourself burn. It hurts — she has third degree burns — and you’d need to be mentally undeterred to do so. With all this in mind, can you blame her? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Yes, yes, yes. I’m still very angry. First of all, a large portion of America reacted to this, and rightfully. When you hear reports on a potential hate crime, of course you’re going to be upset and you will have strong emotions. Many people held candlelight vigils and showed their support via social media. And the worst part is, she made people in her community uneasy. Racial relations in Louisiana are not known for being perfect, and a reported incident like this set people on edge. Second of all, she set all discussion of hate crimes and bigotry a step back. Prior to the most recent developments in the story, people, including myself, were having conversations about race relations and attacks. I don’t know, had the original story been true, how much change would have happened in the hate crime climate, but at least people were taking an interest in the issues. But now, the discussion and call for change concerning racism, though no less important and necessary, has been convoluted. Even looking at the comments on updated news stories and reports, I can tell that she now created this culture where some people will, in the back of their mind, question hate crime reports and the validity of the victim. Is that correct? Absolutely not. But that’s the reality of what she started. It’s not so much that people jumped to conclusions and didn’t “check their facts;” it’s what news channels and police officials originally reported. But now, people who were taken aback at the mention of a hate crime look like they jumped to conclusions. Essentially, this a modern case of the boy who cried wolf: Because of this crime, people may be less likely to believe that the next reported hate crime is real. I urge people not to think this way. This case is the exception, not the rule.

Government mocks zombie apocalypse Hollywood-style production prepares nation for zombie attack BY JULIE WATSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — Move over vampires, goblins and haunted houses, this kind of Halloween terror aims to shake up even the toughest warriors: An untold number of so-called zombies are coming to a counterterrorism summit attended by hundreds of Marines, Navy special ops, soldiers, police, firefighters and others to prepare them for their worst nightmares. “This is a very real exercise, this is not some type of big costume party,” said Brad Barker, president of Halo Corp, a security firm hosting the Oct. 31 training demonstration during the summit at a 44-acre Paradise Point Resort island on a San Diego bay. “Everything that will be simulated at this event has already happened, it just hasn’t happened all at once on the same night. But the training is very real, it just happens to be the bad guys we’re having a little fun with.” Hundreds of military, law enforcement and medical personnel will observe the Hollywoodstyle production of a zombie

Cow kills man during religious celebration BY DIAA HADID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A spooked cow killed a Palestinian man who was trying to slaughter the beast on Saturday during the Muslim celebration of Eid alAdha, a Gaza health official said. Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats, during the four-day holiday that began Friday, giving away much of the meat to the poor. The Muslim holiday commemorates the sacrifice by the Prophet Ibrahim, known to Christians and Jews as Abraham. But accidents are common as people frequently buy animals to slaughter themselves instead of paying professional butchers. The festive atmosphere at the site of the slaughtering also tends to make the animals fidgety. The 52-year-old man who died was trampled to death, and another three people were seriously injured when the cow ran wild in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, said health official Ashraf al-Kidra. In all, he said some 150 people

Public slaughtering is common in Gaza, where professional butcher shops are pricey.

“It’s neither healthy nor good. But it’s a tradition,” al-Kidra said. “Most Gazans can’t believe they’ve fi nally managed to get an animal. They ask themselves: why should I pay for a butcher when I can slaughter it myself?”

Palestine to seek UN recognition this November BY MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian president is moving forward with his plan to seek upgraded observer status at the United Nations next month, despite American and Israeli threats of financial or diplomatic retaliation, officials said Sunday. The decision sets the stage for a new showdown between Israel and the Palestinians at the world body,

following last year’s attempt by the Palestinians to seek status as a full member state. Although that initiative failed to pass the U.N. Security Council, it caused months of diplomatic tensions with Israel. “We will go to the U.N. regardless of any threats,” said Tawfik Tirawi, a senior member of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement. “I expect the Israelis to take punitive measures against us, if we win this status, but this is

our choice and we will not retract it.” This year, the Palestinians are seeking “nonmember state” status in the U.N. General Assembly, where passage is assured. The 193-member assembly is dominated by developing nations sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Officials say they are looking for what they call a “quality” majority that includes European countries as well.

Volleyball’s hope for NCAAs keep fading BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER

The season continues to crumble for the Illinois volleyball team. The Illini lost 3-1 at Wisconsin (16-9, 4-8 Big Ten) and 3-0 at No. 10 Minnesota (19-4, 10-2) over the weekend, falling back under .500 and leaving their NCAA tournament hopes murkier than ever.At a point in the season where it needs to be surging instead of fading, Illinois (10-12, 4-8) is suffering a three-game losing streak and has won just two of its last nine matches. Friday’s loss to Wisconsin was

the first time all season the Illini have fallen to an opponent that has not been ranked at any point this year. Illinois began the game like it wanted, battling back from an early 10-3 deficit to take the first set 25-22. But the wheels started falling off soon after. Disappointed with the play of freshman setter Alexis Viliunas, Head Coach Kevin Hambly reinserted senior Annie Luhrsen at setter five points into the second set. Hambly’s decision is surprising considering he had never before switched setters midseason and pulled Viliunas’ redshirt midway through the sea-

son in order to play her following a four-game losing streak. He said afterward that he would only go back to Luhrsen if Viliunas played extremely poorly. “In the second set, things were going bad and I didn’t like the way (Viliunas) was setting and we got a kid that can set sitting on the bench that has lots of experience and we put (Luhrsen) out there to set and she did a good job,” Hambly said. “But then we didn’t win with her so I switched it again trying to see if we could get the win. ..

RUNNING AS A WAY OF LIFE

Women’s cross-country runners think of racing, making form better 24/7 BY NICHOLAS FORTIN

he smell of freshly cut grass and pine needles is in the air as women from 40-plus schools come to the starting line. They stand shoulder to shoulder, muscles twitching, waiting for the gun. And then, after several rules have been explained, a bang rings through the air. In the blink of an eye, they’re off. They run over uneven ground, through trees, around patches of mud and water and over a hill. But cross-country at the collegiate level is more than just putting one foot in front of the other. “Running well is basically a lifestyle,” senior Courtney Yaeger said. “You have to be con-

stantly fueling your body the proper way as well as making sure you’re recovering enough.” Yaeger said team nutritionists help the runners prepare for practice or the race, advising to take in quick sugars and simple carbohydrates. She said after running, they will eat a protein-carb combo to help them recover quickly. Recovery is another important aspect that the team stresses. Yaeger said she “wouldn’t want to go out and play an intense game of sand volleyball” after a workout or race, so runners should give themselves downtime, with limited exercise on off days. Illinois women’s cross-country coach Jeremy Rasmussen said some describe the sport to be at least 80 percent mental. The runner’s psychological aspect can be the difference between third-place fi nish and a victory. “Most people only think about the mental element to running when it comes to race time,” Rasmussen said. It’s a huge mind game. You’re out there a lot by yourself and you have a lot of opportunities to battle yourself. ... Being

mentally strong is something we talk about on a daily basis.” “A lot of it is just staying positive, not letting fear be an obstacle, not letting your nerves get in the way and not getting distracted,” freshman Amanda Fox said. On top of the emotional side, most runners take mental notes or “race plans” before the race about their goals, strategies and specific course sections to watch out for. Most race plans are about either running with teammates or looking for them throughout the race. There are also aspects like remembering to slow down before turns or doing something different in regard to an obstacle or knowing where to exert the most energy during the race. Runners usually plan to compete at their hardest at the beginning and the end of each race. This way, they can break away from the pack after the gun, avoiding the shoving that comes with a large field. This style works for a fair amount of racers, but for others, like Yaeger, the best way to focus on running is to focus on nothing.

Morale low as Illini defeated by Hoosiers BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER

Tim Beckman is 22 pounds lighter. The Illinois football team dropped its fi fth straight game Saturday to secure its place among the Big Ten’s bottom feeders, losing to a two-win Indiana team that hadn’t won a Big Ten game in nearly two years. The stress is weighing on the fi rst-year head coach, both mentally and physically. “Awesome! How do I look?” Beckman sarcastically responded when asked how he was doing. “Shoot, I’ve lost 22 pounds. ... I don’t like losing. Hate it.” With a background at top programs such as Oklahoma State, Auburn and Ohio State, Beckman isn’t used to struggling like this. All season long, he’s reiterated that this is unfamiliar territory for him. He’s not used to dropping five in a row, he’s not used to getting blown out and he’s not used to falling in front of the Homecoming crowd as it dwindles with each passing quarter. And while by now Beckman

Yaeger said she usually has an understanding of the course before the race, using past experience to dictate race pace. But as soon as she gets good position in the race, she begins to zone out. She says zoning out alleviates unneeded stress and anxiety in the middle of the race. On the physical side of things, continuing to alternate strides with either foot is just the start. Rasmussen said that even the way a runner’s foot hits the ground can be broken down and examined to improve technique. “We try to work through their form,” Rasmussen said. “If we can help them work through that, it helps cut down on injuries and allows them to be more efficient.” The coaches stress not to waste motion, and this all starts with the foot strike. “We constantly work on form, trying to have a midfoot strike while racing, and being efficient is very important,” Fox said. “You don’t want your toes to hit fi rst because you get the most power when you strike from the midfoot.”

Illinois Head Coach Tim Beckman wipes his head during the game against Indiana at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. is used to addressing the media on the heels of defeat, he still struggled for the right words at the start of his postgame press conference Saturday. “Wow,” he opened with. “What do you say?” The Illini had two weeks to prepare for the Hoosiers. They had home field advantage and a Homecoming crowd on their side, but they still fell to one of the Big Ten’s worst teams. “We feel like we’re preparing extremely hard week-in and week-out, but everything’s not clicking on all cylinders,” senior STAR Ashante Williams said. “It hurts because I know he (Beckman) wants to win. He wants to send the seniors out on

a good note.” As the losses stack up and Illinois continues to be uncompetitive within the Big Ten, negativity is building outside the program among fans and media. Much of the scrutiny has fallen on fi rst-year head coach Beckman and his staff. The offense entered the game ranked 114th in the nation and the defense, despite fi nishing top 10 in the country last season, is giving up an average of 30.7 points per game. The transition from former head coach Ron Zook to Beckman has been a bumpy road, and the Illini haven’t bounced back as quickly as many were hoping. “There’s negativity any-

where when you’re not winning,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “It just kind of comes with the territory unfortunately. But we’ve got an experienced staff. I’ve been doing this a long time, and when things are going good, people think I invented football, and when it’s not, it’s the other way around. So I understand that it’s the life I chose.” Regardless of the attitude toward the program, the Illini are trying to block out the criticism and focus on what they can do to improve going forward. “To deal with tough times, you’ve just got to put your

Teen prodigies making it big across sports JAY BENSEN Sports columnist

L

ast Saturday in an English Premier League matchup, I watched as Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling fired a low laser into the far left corner of the net past Reading’s sprawling goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy. The commentators excitedly announced that this was Sterling’s first league goal and the first of many more to come in the years ahead. A quick Wikipedia search of Sterling led me to the fact that he is only 17, two months younger than me. Teenage prodigies are nothing new in sports, but the athletes we know and relate to represent the very top of the pyramid. Sterling moved to London from Jamaica when he was 5 in hopes of playing professionally. But this is too much to place on his shoulders at his age. Lionel Messi moved to Spain when he was signed to FC Barcelona’s youth academy at 11. But his archrival, Cristiano Ronaldo, signed with Sporting CP’s youth team when he was 12 before becoming a household name when he transferred to Manchester United. The same phenomenon holds true in other sports as well. Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Kevin Garnett all skipped college and broke into the NBA less than a year removed from high school. And let’s not forget about one of the most reputed athletes of our generation, LeBron James, who made the same decision. But many teenage stars are tasting success at the pro level

while enrolled in high school. Golfers Beau Hossler and Andy Zhang both made splashes at the U.S. Open this June. Hossler, 17, led outright midway through the second round, while 14-year-old Zhang was the youngest ever to participate at the Open. Olympic stars Missy Franklin and the the U.S. women’s gymnastics team took the world by storm despite their youth. All were 18 or younger at the time of competition. Football and baseball seem to be the lone sports that have avoided the teenage phenomenon. Baseball’s minor leagues effectively ensure that up-and-coming players who are promoted to the majors can survive baseball’s grueling slate of games. And the sheer physicality of professional football, along with the NFL’s draft eligibility rule — which requires players to be three years removed from high school before declaring for the draft — makes it difficult for athletes to cut college short to pursue NFL dreams. In 2005, the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement with its players said prospects must be at least 19 and one year removed from high school to be eligible for the NBA Draft. But for every success story we hear about, there are hundreds we don’t. These are about athletes who didn’t realize their childhood dreams because of injuries or emotional stress or simply the high level of talent needed to make it. Because overtraining, practice and competition no longer hold the same appeal they once did. Other times, bloated expectations and superlatives at an early age can never be met, leading to a mediocre professional career. Remember

But for every success story we hear about, there are hundreds that we don’t.

Yaeger reaches personal best Illinois finishes 9th at Big Tens despite Yaeger’s strong race BY NICHOLAS FORTIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Senior Courtney Yaeger recorded one of the best individual performances of her career Sunday when she finished eighth overall at the Big Ten Championships in East Lansing, Mich. The Illinois women’s crosscountry team, on the other hand, didn’t run as well. Before the Big Ten Championships, head coach Jeremy Rasmussen said the team’s goal was

to finish in the conference’s top half. The Illini finished ninth overall despite being fifth about halfway through the meet. “We’re obviously disappointed in our team place,” Rasmussen said. “It was there for us, and we just didn’t live up to the challenge and take advantage of it.” Yaeger’s finish was a major improvement from her 87thplace finish at last year’s meet. Yaeger was named to the all-Big Ten second team after finishing the race in 20 minutes, 35 seconds, the fifth-fastest time in school history. “I think I ran about as well as I could have,” Yaeger said. “I ran a PR, and I came pretty close to my goals.”

When asked about her fifthfastest time, Yaeger seemed surprised. “Is that what it is?” Yaeger said. “I haven’t checked the record yet. But I’m glad my name is finally up there because I ran really hard.” “Going from 87th place at the Big Ten Championships last year to eighth this year, no one did that, and that was huge for her.” Rasmussen said. Every Illini finished the race in less than 23 minutes, with redshirt freshman Alyssa Schneider finishing second for the Illini and 22nd overall, with a time of 20:57. But some Illinois runners fell back in the second half of the race, Rasmus-

sen said. “We talked about before going into the race to put ourselves in position to race the race that we wanted to, and halfway through the race, we were in fifth place as a team, right in striking distance,” Rasmussen said. “I’m not disappointed in the effort we put out today, we just couldn’t finish the race.” Yaeger said the Illini will look at this race as a learning experience. “We could have ran better, but I think that now we have something to prove,” Yaeger said.

Nicholas can be reached at goldwyn2@dailyillini.com and @IlliniSportsGuy.

WOMEN’S XC FROM PAGE 1B Rasmussen added that good form, beyond the foot strike, is also extremely important. “We want their feet striking the ground underneath their hips and not out in front of them,” he said. “We also don’t want the team twisting too much when they run. We tell them to run with their arms instead of their shoulders to keep things symmetrical.” In order to perfect their mechanics and form as well as keep up conditioning, the Illini practice five or six times per week. During almost every practice, the team mixes in strength drills to complement the running portion of the workout. The team also runs stride and sprint drills daily as well as

3B

jump-rope running, which helps with form. Most runners also have a weekly mileage mark, which they have to hit while practicing. Yaeger runs 68 miles per week, the most on the team. Almost everyone else on the team runs 40 to 60 miles per week. From mental to physical and from mechanical and even nutritional, hundreds of different factors impact how runners compete on any given day. But Rasmussen said that at the end of the day, it comes down to running. “A lot of people think running is just about running,” Rasmussen said. “And to a certain extent it is. But if you can develop consistency in your running, that’s how you become great.”

Illini break multiple pool records in victory over Spartans BY J.J. WILSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Illinois swimming and diving team improved to 1-1 last Friday, touching out Michigan State by 28 hundredths of a second in the final event for a record-setting victory of 153-147. Both the Illini and the Spartans fought for control in the meet, keeping the score on a constant shift. While swimmers such as juniors Courtney Pope and Erica Lynn emerged with two individual event victories each, the Spartans took the gold in both diving events as well as a crucial one-two finish in the 1,000 free. “(Michigan State) had some very good freestyle sprinters and some good speed, and we had to counter that and find those events where we could just sort of come back and punch it out with them a little bit,” head coach Sue Novitsky said. With a tight score heading into the final event, all the pressure was put on the relay teams. Whichever team won the race would win the meet. The Illini A relay team consisted of senior Kim Kalenda leading off, sophomores Alison Meng and Megan Marchuk, and junior Pope in at anchor. “Sue has put me there since freshman year,” Pope said. “I know it’s going to come down to me at all the meets, and I had no idea who the girl from Michigan State was so I had no idea how fast she was, but I was ready.” When Pope touched the wall, the pool erupted into excitement. Not only had Illinois won the meet, but it also clocked in a time of 1:35.00, surpassing the former ARC pool record of 1:35.92 set two decades ago by Kansas. “We all talked about it before the race. We were like, ‘We can do this, we can put this together.’ And we did,” Pope said. The spotlight may have been drawn on the climactic finish; however, there were other factors that kept the meet close. On the day, three ARC pool records were broken, one of which was broken by Michigan State’s Jenny Rusch in the 50

Pope also helped break the pool record for the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:35.00. free with a time of 23.70. Also resetting the record board, this time in the 100 back with a time of 56.25, was Meng, who had just returned to the lineup after spending some time out. “To get three pool records off the board, by Michigan State and us, just old records, that’s a great day,” Novitsky said.

Going into this meet, senior diver Keri Eberhardt said that in a close meet, the diving events can definitely have an effect on who wins a meet. Nothing rang truer either as Illini divers brought in significant points that held the meet close. “Our divers helped us out a lot today going two, three and four

on both boards. That was great,” Novitsky said. “Team effort, that’s what (this win) was.” Illinois does not compete for two weeks, but its next meet will be its first on the road this season at Illinois State.

Men’s cross-country place 4th at Big Tens Illini’s confidence, intensity earn best finish in 16 years BY DAN ESCALONA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was a day of firsts for the men’s cross-country team at the Big Ten Championships in East Lansing, Mich. In Illinois head coach Jake Stewart’s first appearance at the conference championship meet, the Illini finished fourth overall — the team’s best finish in 16 years. “We ran with a lot of confidence today. We ran with the same intensity that we have run with all season long,” Stewart said. “The team showed up to race, executed the plan we put

RECAP FROM PAGE 1B Sunday. You’ve got to just keep working on fundamental things of football.” Young ran for a career high 124 yards on 21 carries. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase threw a touchdown and rushed for another, compiling 208 total yards. Illinois outgained Indiana in yards 372-292 and held an advantage in time of possession, but under quarterback Nate Sudfeld the Hoosiers were able to put together two drives of 60-plus yards ending in touchdowns. Sudfeld, who entered the game in relief of starter Cameron Coffman, threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 10-for15 passing. Defensive coordinator Tim Banks said he wasn’t sure why

in place during practice and competed at the level I expected from them.” Graduate student Jannis Toepfer and senior Hunter Mickow led the team Sunday, with both earning second-team All-Big Ten honors. Toepfer finished first for Illinois in the 8K with a time of 24:07. He placed ninth overall, running the 10th-fastest time in school history. Mickow crossed the finish line a second later with the time of 24:08, and redshirt freshman Ian Barnett ran 24:20 — a personal record. “We all said at the start of training camp that this team had a lot of potential,” Toepfer said. “I think we really pulled it together this meet and we showed that we are a team that can go a long way.” Favorite Wisconsin won its 14th straight and 46th overall Big Ten

crown. Michigan came in second place and Indiana was third. Though Stewart was impressed with his team’s ability to finish fourth behind three top-30 teams, he was most impressed with the performances of the top three runners. “I was very pleased with the clutch performances from both Jannis and Hunter,” Stewart said. “They ran phenomenally throughout the entire race. I also thought that Ian Barnett had an incredible day. He has been battling some setbacks recently and for him to perform the way he did was one of the gutsier performances I have seen in awhile.” Senior Jordan Hebert and redshirt freshman Tommy King also scored points for Illinois. Hebert placed 21st overall after crossing the finish line in 24:22,

while King finished 28th with a time of 24:32. Stewart said he is looking forward to getting back to practice to improve for the season’s remaining weeks. “We still have a lot of season left, and we can still get better. We can’t rest on our laurels at this point. We have to find ways to get better whether that’s staying healthy and taking care of our injuries,” Stewart said. “We have to get better in the next two weeks and that’s the focus.” Toepfer summed up the significance of the team’s performance at the meet going forward. “Knowing we can be up there is huge confidence boost. We’re just a few points behind Indiana, who was ranked 15th in the nation.“

er, she and the team have plans to prepare. “I think today we took another good step forward. A lot of our details were a lot sharper than they were last week,” Novitsky said. “(ISU) is one of those meets, again, where they have some good athletes and they always compete hard against

us, so we’ll have to be sharp and that’s all it is. We’ve got a couple weeks of pretty hard training coming up. Again, (it’s about) being able to swim fast when you’re tired. That’s what we want to see.”

to take the set 26-24. The third set was also heavily contested, but Illinois was again unable to come up with big points when they mattered most. With the score tied 22-22, Minnesota won the next three points to complete the sweep — its second sweep of Illinois this season — and sent the Illini home empty handed. “They have a great right side attack and it’s hard for a lot of people to deal with that,” Hambly said. For Hambly, Illinois’ inability to close out sets against Minnesota was simple. “They made plays and we didn’t make plays,” he said. Illinois must now win five of its final eight games — four against ranked opponents — to avoid a losing record on the season, a prospect that once seemed unthinkable for team ranked No. 7 in the preseason.

FROM PAGE 1B proved futile as a Luhrsen service error ended the match. Illinois continued its losing ways Sunday at Minnesota. Following the flip-flopping at setter against Wisconsin, Hambly started Luhrsen and stuck with her the entire game against Minnesota, based on how the team was competing with her as opposed to Viliunas. It didn’t seem to make any difference, though, as the Illini dropped the first set, struggling to get their attack on track while hitting only .069 and never leading. Illinois’ level of play was much higher in the second set. The two teams were gridlocked through the first half of the set, but the Illini jumped out to a 17-13 lead and looked to be finding a groove. It was not to be, however, as the Golden Gophers charged back, winning five of the last six points

EMOTION

Indiana made the switch at quarterback, but that his players were prepared to face either playcaller. Illinois has lost its last five games and has lost 10 straight Big Ten conference games, its last win coming against Indiana on Oct. 8, 2011. Prior to the game, neither Illinois nor Indiana had won a conference game in more than a year, with Indiana’s last victory coming in 2010. “It’s not acceptable,” Beckman said. “And those young men understand what I mean. They’re in there hurting as much as anybody is hurting. They want to win, we want to win, everybody wants to win in this family. It’s not getting done at the level it needs to get done.”

Is

Illinois the worst team in the Big Ten? It’s kind of an arbitrary question, but then again, being the worst team in the SEC isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Head coach Tim Beckman came to Champaign a confi dent man, hell-bent on convincing Illinois fans that change was coming. The losing ways were going to be no more. When asked how Beckman was holding up amid his frustrating 2-6 start to his tenure at Illinois, his response said it all. “I’ve lost 22 pounds,” Beckman said. “You think I like losing? Haven’t been around it. No, I hate it.” While it wasn’t a complete blowup that losing streaks bring out in coaches, it was clear that the frustration is building to the point of expressing it outside the walls of the football offices. Beckman has a point about not having had to deal with

this type of losing before, seeing as he’s been a part of winning programs as Toledo’s head coach and an assistant at Oklahoma State, Ohio State and Bowling Green. He’s said it a million times, you’ve heard him, but as a head coach, he needs to realize his plan is going to take some time and that the present isn’t going to get any better. What he isn’t saying is what’s wrong with his team. He constantly cites missed tackles and eye violations as the reason for the lofty scores allowed each week by the defense, but what he said last Monday when he was asked yet again what is wrong with this once-proud defense puts the season in perspective. “Make the tackle in the hole, and it doesn’t go for 40 or whatever it did,” Beckman said. “Make the tackle, and you’re supposed to get yourself to the football.” At the same time, small plays, which are part of opponent’s scoring drives, are happening as well and making this mess that much more confusing. Instead of trying to figure out why this team isn’t winning — something that I’ve

been trying to do for the last eight weeks — Saturday’s loss confi rmed that Illinois is the worst team in the Big Ten. It needs to be accepted. Should the Illini have won against Indiana? Probably, but that’s the problem. They can’t score enough points to keep the defense in the game, even against an awful Hooisers defense that allows 438.5 yards per game and the second-most points per game in the conference. At this point in the season, I think we all know what defense is the only one worse than Indiana’s. That unit maintained its trend by allowing 31 points to the Hoosiers, which is about on par for the season average of 30.75 points per game. The potential team we envisioned in the offseason and saw on the roster laden with talent on the defensive side can win games. We’ve seen that before, as a fair portion of the roster has played significant minutes in Illinois’ last two bowl-winning seasons. The team that takes the field Saturdays this season and the one that actually competes is the opposite. Is it a confidence issue that

Louisiana Tech Sept. 22 - L, 52-24

began with the Week Two thrashing at Arizona State and became progressively worse? Could that be in the team’s head? Is defensive coordinator Tim Banks having trouble teaching and molding guys he didn’t recruit to transition to his system? Not unorthodox to think. Would offensive coordinators Chris Beatty and Billy Gonzales like more depth at offensive line and wide receiver to run a scheme that is suited to score points? I think they’d smile a lot more after games if they had that kind of depth. There are a myriad of questions without answers about why this Illini team isn’t winning. The only one we have an answer to is if this team is the worst in the Big Ten, and that answer is yes. And given how the conference has fared this season, the title of worst team in the Big Ten has a completely different meaning than worst team in the SEC.

GAME TO FORGET

BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Tommy Davis didn’t call for a fair catch. With the game tied at 14, the Illini forced Indiana into a quick three and out with minus-1 yards on the drive. Indiana was forced to punt, and as the Illinois punt returner was swarmed by Hoosiers, he attempted to catch the ball and try and gain positive yardage. Instead, he muffed the punt. Indiana recovered at Illinois’ 22-yard line. He wouldn’t get another chance, during this game, at least, to return another punt. Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said Davis was crushed in the locker room. Davis told his coach he thought that play cost the Illini the game. It wasn’t the single reason the Illini would fall 31-17 at Memorial Stadium to Indiana, but there were many mental lapses like Davis’.

Illinois out-gained Indiana in total offense, but it’s difficult to win with eight penalties for 81 yards and when Indiana scores 14 points off Illinois turnovers. “We can’t beat ourselves, and that’s one of the things that sadly we continued to do today,” defensive end Michael Buchanan said after the game. Glen Foster knew he’d made a mistake right away. On fourth-and-1, Indiana decided to go for it on the Illinois 13-yard line with the game tied at 14. A hard count by Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld caused Foster to jump offsides and gave Indiana a first down. The defensive lineman stomped and swung his arms in frustration. Indiana would have a fresh set of downs, and it would go on to score a touchdown on the next play to take a 21-14 lead it would not relinquish. Donnovonn Young planted his hand

down on the field to avoid being tackled just to gain some extra yards. The running back, who gained 125 yards on the day, was trying to get his offense going with his team down 21-14. With that, he was carrying the ball loosely and it was knocked out of his hand and the Hoosier recovered it on the Illinois 20-yard line. Indiana added a field goal and the Illini weren’t able to recover. “We’ve got to fix these mistakes, man,” junior linebacker Jonathan Brown said. “Too many mistakes. Too many petty mistakes leading up to insurmountable leads.” The Illini had late-hit penalties by Terry Hawthorne and Justin Staples of 15-yard penalties that kept Indiana drives alive. The Illini’s defense was unable to catch up. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase had deep passes and receivers wide open with room to run for big plays — big plays missing from the Illinois

offense all season long. Those throws glanced off fingertips multiple times, either behind or over the heads of the receivers and fell incomplete. “That was a little bit frustrating,” offensive coordinator Chris Beatty said. “We can’t have long foul balls. We’re not the team that can make up for those long foul balls. We get those, we’ve got to make sure we hit home runs.” The Illini may be pressing too hard to make a play. When a team is losing, players will often want to be the guy to bring them out, which often leads to mistakes. “We can’t do those things,” Beckman said. “We’re not a good enough football team, or anybody’s a good (enough) football team to do those things. It ended up biting us and we ended up losing the football game.”

Illini soccer defeats Wolverines in overtime

Groce’s plan proves to be successful against Lewis BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

The 79-47 beatdown that the Illinois men’s basketball team administered to Lewis on Saturday will not count toward its regular season record. But the exhibition game reflects the beginnings of a blueprint that head coach John Groce is establishing for the season, as well as the future, at Illinois. By that measure, Saturday’s victory has meaning. Illinois never trailed in a wire-to-wire performance, and the new coaching staff came away with new knowledge about the type of team they have. “The biggest thing I learned tonight is how good they want to be,” Groce said. “For the bulk of the game, I thought our effort was terrific.” That effort, along with execution, was lacking in the Orange and Blue Scrimmage earlier in the week, according to Groce. The coaching staff analyzed the team’s deficiencies through film during the ensuing week, and Groce said that his team improved in those areas against Lewis. Illinois sprinted to a 26-4 lead in the first half with six different players making 3-pointers during that run. Myke Henry hit the first of those 3’s on a pick-and-pop play with Brandon Paul assisting, sparking an impressive statistical performance for Henry. The 6-foot-6 sophomore, who has skills on the perimeter and the post, tallied 11 points and six rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting and only 16 minutes of playing time. “This offense is more spaced for more isos, which I had a lot of this game in the post,” Henry said of his opportunities in the new offense. D.J. Richardson led Illinois in scoring with 12 points, a feat he accomplished during the intrasquad scrimmage earlier in the week. Only six of those points came via the 3-pointer as Richardson displayed a confidence attacking the basket that’s been nurtured by the coaching staff since the start of summer workouts. “There’s no reason for us to hold back,” Richardson said. “We’ve got a point to prove this year. We’re coachable. We’ve just got to listen to everything Coach (Groce) says to get better.” Despite the improvements, Saturday’s contest wasn’t a perfect performance. Illinois outscored Lewis by only 10 points after the scorching 26-4 run to start the game. Turnovers mounted and Illinois’ shooting percentage cooled as the game progressed, but a constant was an intensity on defense and rebounding that redeemed some of the miscues on the offensive end. “That’s mental toughness is what that is. You’ve got to get to the next play,” Groce said. “I tell them that’s how it is in life and that’s how it is in basketball. This is not a game of perfect. You’re going to make some mistakes. You’ve got to get to the next play.” With 10:45 left in the first half, Tyler Griffey exemplified that mental toughness. Lewis forward Brad Foster pulled down a defensive rebound, which Griffey stripped. As the ball slowly rolled toward the baseline, Griffey dove on top of it and swiftly called timeout. The Illinois bench erupted in praise of Griffey’s hustle, including its head coach, who pumped his fist and enthusiastically applauded while yelling, “Way to go, Griff!”

Illini hockey split weekend series with Cyclones BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team had a pair of polarizing performances over the weekend, as it split a pair of games with Iowa State (8-5-1). In a matchup with evenly matched teams — the Illini are No. 9, with the Cyclones ranked No. 10 — selfinfl icted errors were the difference on the weekend. Friday saw Illinois (9-2-2) limit those mistakes and dominate en route to a 6-4 victory, while Saturday’s game was riddled with mistakes and led to a 5-3 defeat. “I think we dominated pretty much the whole game (Friday),” defenseman Mike Evans said. Friday matched a season-high with six goals scored, tying the team’s output against John Carroll

earlier this year. It was a diverse attack, with five different players scoring on the night, and the Illini chased the Cyclones starting goaltender Paul Karus out of the game. Illinois scored four times in a 15-minute stretch that spanned the end of the fi rst period into the second before Iowa State pulled Karus in favor of Scott Ismond with Illinois holding a 4-2 lead. “I thought we played a really strong game other than about a twominute stretch at the beginning of the third period,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. The beginning of the third period saw a pair of breakdowns for Illinois, and the Cyclones capitalized, scoring twice in 54 seconds to tie up the game. Illinois would answer back, how-

ever, when sophomore forward Jon Langan found the back of the net off an assist by JT Turner with a little over 12 minutes left to go. Freshman John Olen would add an empty net goal — his second score of the game — to seal the deal. Saturday was a complete fl ip of the script for both teams. Iowa State outshot the Illini 43-27, and earned a 5-3 victory. Despite not scoring in the fi rst period, the Cyclones would light the lamp five times in the fi nal two periods, and Ismond kept the Illini from coming back. “The only reason we were even in the game was because of Nick Clarke in net,” Fabbrini said. “We’re a better skating team than Iowa State and we didn’t use that to our advantage at all.” Mark Huber and David Kur-

batsky netted two goals apiece for Iowa State. Kurbastsky’s goal with five minutes left pushed the Iowa State advantage to 5-3 , essentially sealed the game. “We lacked the intensity from Friday night on Saturday,” Evans said. Illinois was short-handed on both ends, although it appears they will be getting back to full strength heading forward. Defensemen Ben Burbridge and Anthony Carlsen were out due to a concussion and pulled groin , respectively. On offense, Fabbrini said he expects forward Derek Schultz to come back next weekend, as he recovers from a torn meniscus.

Four minutes into overtime, senior Niki Read was on the attack. She passed the ball to freshman Nicole Breece and then yelled for the ball back. Instead of listening to the upperclassman, Breece challenged a Michigan defender inside the 18-yard box and ended up on the ground. But this collision awarded the Illinois women’s soccer team a penalty kick, which junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo put away for her secondgame winning goal this season, sealing a 3-2 victory. The game-winning penalty kick goal marks DiBernardo’s eighth tally of the season, securing her spot as Illinois’ leading scorer. This marked the fi rst Illini victory in Ann Arbor, Mich., in the program’s history. Illinois (9-7-2, 6-4-1 Big Ten) has now tallied seven goals in the past two games, creating an offensive surge heading into the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday. “It’s nice to put points up fi nally,” Read said. “A lot of it obviously comes from Vanessa, but it means that the players around her have helped her get in behind and draw PKs. I don’t think it’s something I’ve thought about a lot because I know it’s something we are capable of. To me, it feels like this is how it’s supposed to be, this is natural. I don’t think we are doing anything particularly amazing right now, I think we are just playing Illinois soccer and doing what we know we can do.” The Wolverines fi nished the regular season third in the conference (7-2-2 Big Ten), suffering their second conference loss after falling to Ohio State (8-2-1) on Oct. 18. Similar to past games this year, the Illini found themselves rallying from behind. Illinois out-shot Michigan 8-4 in the fi rst half but was unable to fi nish the opportunities. In the 26th minute, Wolverine forward Nkem Ezurike earned the fi rst tally of the match on a ricochet off of Illinois goalkeeper Steph Panozzo. “During halftime, we knew we were the better team,” senior Nicole Denenberg said. “At halftime, it was 1-0, they were winning and we knew that wasn’t accurate and that we were the ones that were supposed to be ahead. We had confidence that we knew we were supposed to win in the end.” But it took Michigan only four minutes in the second half to double its lead. The Illini weren’t able to record a goal until the 62nd minute. After stealing a possession away from the Michigan defensive line, DiBernardo fi red a left-footed shot just above the Wolverine goalkeeper, hitting the crossbar and landing in the back of the net. She continued to lead the Illini by assisting on Read’s game-tying goal in the 84th minute. Read has now scored in back-to-back matches. “The thing about a player like Vanessa is when everyone is contributing, she can be a part of fi nding those players and making sure that they continue to impact the game,” Illinois head coach Janet Rayfi eld said . “It was certainly a game where she did the things that she does well but also made it where everyone else can do what they do well, and that is when we are going to be best as a team.” Illinois will have its shortest turnaround this season at the Big Ten quarterfi nals, which begin Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. against No. 4-seeded Minnesota for the fi fth-seeded Illini. “I think that we really need to remember how hard we battled in these past few games we have won,” Read said. “The wins are great, the momentum is great and it’s awesome to be confident going in, but we need to be confident with a purpose and confident with a little plug in the back of our head reminding us of how hard we worked to be that confident. We don’t want to get too caught up in the moment because it is just one game, and we’ve got a lot more business to take care of.”

Falcons soar over Eagles to stay only undefeated team BY ROB MAADDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIKE ROEMER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throws one of his two touchdown passes to wide receiver Randall Cobb on Sunday. The Packers edged the Jaguars — who came in with the worst record in the league — by a score of 24-15. Rodgers tallied 186 yards through the air on the day.

Packers squeak out win over Jags BY NANCY ARMOUR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay blowout just about everyone had expected never materialized. Aaron Rodgers connected with Donald Driver for a 4-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, Mason Crosby made up for an earlier miss with a 25-yard field goal and Green Bay escaped with a surprisingly tough 24-15 victory Sunday over the NFL’s worst team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. “It was defi nitely a grind-itout type victory today,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. Not a real pretty one, either. Still, it gave the Packers (5-3) a

third straight victory. “It’s good to be on this side of an ugly win,” Rodgers said. “The way we played on offense, especially the last couple weeks, the expectations were we were going to come out and maybe blow them out. But we didn’t start fast, we didn’t have enough juice early on and didn’t play well enough on offense to get that done.” Rodgers was 22 of 35 for 186 yards and two touchdowns, which moved him past Bart Starr into second place on the Green Bay career list with 153. Brett Favre holds the Packers record with 442 TDs. James Jones had seven catches for 31 yards, and Green Bay’s

special teams chipped in with yet another score, recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown for the first time in 22 years. Davon House blocked Bryan Anger’s kick in the second quarter, and the ball rolled around until Dezman Moses fell on it in the end zone. “You never know which play is going to be the play that determines the game,” Moses said. “It turned out being a lot closer game than we expected. So all those plays count, and that was defi nitely a big one.” The Jaguars (1-6) are the NFL’s worst team even when they have Maurice Jones-Drew. With their best player out because of a foot

injury and Blaine Gabbert nursing an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, Jacksonville figured to be an easy mark for the Packers. “They’re an NFL team, not to get that wrong, but the Jacksonville Jaguars stayed around in Lambeau Field,” Jermichael Finley said. “They were supposed to have been under the Frozen Tundra at halftime.” Instead, the Jaguars were in it right until the end. They put up 341 yards of offense, more than 100 above their average, and got big contributions from Cecil Shorts and Rashad Jennings, Jones-Drew’s backup. Jennings had 59 yards rushing and 56 yards receiving.

PHILADELPHIA — Asante Samuel stared directly at his former team’s sideline and started trash-talking right after the coin toss. By the fourth quarter, Samuel was dancing on the field between plays. Matt Ryan made it easy for his loquacious teammate to gloat. Ryan threw touchdown passes on Atlanta’s first three possessions against the Eagles and new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, and the Falcons remained the NFL’s only unbeaten team with a convincing 30-17 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. “We’re 7-0 over here baby,” Samuel said. “If I was over there now, they have to go to work.” The Falcons are 7-0 for the first time in the franchise’s 47-year history while the Eagles (3-4) lost after a bye for the first time in 14 games under coach Andy Reid since 1999. “That was an embarrassing performance,” Reid said. “I’m stating the obvious. We need to get better. I need to do a better job. This is fixable. We have the talent.” Ryan finished 22 of 29 for 262 yards and three TDs for his first win against his hometown team in three tries. Michael Vick didn’t turn the ball over for once, but he played so-so and failed to beat his former team in his second start against the Falcons since returning to the NFL in 2009. “Whatever decision coach makes, I support it,” Vick said when asked about possibly being benched for rookie Nick Foles. “I know I’m giving it everything I have when I’m out there.” Reid said he’s going to evaluate whether he makes a quarterback change. The defense was the problem against Atlanta, however. The Falcons scored on their fi rst six possessions before punt-

ing for the fi rst time with 5:35 left. “When you do that, it’s going to be a good day,” Ryan said. This was a validation win for Atlanta. The Falcons entered with no victories over a team with a winning record and their opponents were a combined 13-24 going into this weekend. Perhaps that’s why they were a surprising 3-point underdog despite Philadelphia’s recent struggles. “We like to have a lot of fun,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “We have a very mature group. We have a bunch of guys who are mentors. We’re good at focusing on the task at hand. We’re on point when we kick off and guys have done a good job focusing all season.” Reid’s Eagles have lost three in a row since starting 3-1. Reid fi red Juan Castillo and replaced him with Bowles two days after Philadelphia blew its second straight fourth-quarter lead in an overtime loss to Detroit. Clearly, it didn’t work. Castillo’s defense allowed 18.5 points per game, excluding two TD returns against the offense. Bowles’ D allowed 21 points in the fi rst 24 minutes and couldn’t make a stop until the fourth quarter. “I did what I did and what I thought was right at the time,” Reid said about the switch. “We need to get better there.” A sellout crowd anticipating a pending storm expected to hit the East Coast soon started fi ltering out in the third quarter. Those who stuck around booed the Eagles off the field, though one guy chanted “E-A-G-L-E-S” in the fi nal minute. The anti-Reid fans may be seeing him in his fi nal months with the team. Owner Jeffrey Lurie already stated before the season that another 8-8 fi nish would be “unacceptable.”

Bears defeat Panthers in final seconds with 41- yard field goal BY ANDREW SELIGMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Brandon Marshall saw the grin on Jay Cutler’s face, and that was all it took to put him at ease. The Chicago Bears were trailing again. Time was running out. “That’s when you want that type of quarterback,” Marshall said. Robbie Gould kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired after Cutler rallied the Bears in the fourth quarter for a 23-22 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Bears trailed 19-7 in the fourth period when the game turned in a big way. Chicago (6-1) took over on the Carolina 38 after Brad Nortman shanked a 6-yard punt, and Cutler connected with Kellen Davis on a 12-yard scoring pass with just under 7 minutes left. On Carolina’s next play from scrimmage, Steve Smith slipped on an out pattern and Tim Jennings returned his second interception of the game 25 yards to make it 20-19. The pass failed on the two-point attempt. Cam Newton drove the Panthers to the Chicago 27, and Justin Medlock’s 45-yard field goal hit the right upright and went

through to put Carolina ahead 22-20 with 2:27 remaining. But Cutler moved the Bears 55 yards to the 23-yard line, going 6 of 7 before Gould nailed his winner. “(Cutler) gets up smiling,” Marshall said. “I’m sitting here shaking — a little bit of the cold weather, a little bit of (being) nervous — and he just starts smiling like, ‘Well, here we go.’ It just put me at ease right away. The guys feel that vibe and they play off of it.” For Newton and the Panthers (1-6), the vibe couldn’t be worse. They fired their general manager during the week amid turmoil about their performances, and then dropped their fifth straight game after dominating for most of the day. Carolina gained 416 yards and had six sacks against Cutler, with Greg Hardy getting to him three times. But somehow, Chicago pulled it out. “Not heartbreaking,” Smith said. “Tiresome, monotonous, a few guys in here are perturbed and (ticked), but we’re beyond heartbreak. We’re just getting upset.” Cutler completed 19 of 28 passes for 186 yards after having his ribs bruised by Detroit’s Ndamukong Suh on Monday night.

Marshall had 98 yards receiving and Matt Forte ran for 70 yards and a touchdown for Chicago. And with Jennings running back that interception, Chicago’s defense has six touchdowns on the season. “We were down,” Jennings said. “We knew we had to score on defense. Our captains rallied up the troops. We knew that if we got our hands on the ball we had to score. That’s been our mentality all season. I was able to be in the right position and make a play.” Newton threw for 314 yards and Smith added 118 receiving for Carolina. Medlock nailed five field goals, but the Panthers took another stinging loss. With the worst record in the NFC, they let longtime GM Marty Hurney go Monday while making it clear no one except maybe Newton is safe. Even he’s come under criticism in recent weeks for his demeanor, and adding to the Panthers’ woes was a mounting list of injuries. Three-time Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil (foot), cornerback Chris Gamble (shoulder) and three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason (knee and shoulder) went down for the rest of the season in recent weeks.

CHARLES REX ARBOGAST THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago Bears tight end Kellen Davis (87) makes a catch for touchdown over Carolina Panthers safeties Charles Godfrey, right, and Sherrod Martin (23) in Chicago on Sunday. “This was a challenging week, not only for myself, but for any Carolina Panther fan that has been following us,” Newton said. “We just have to come out and keep enduring and keep going and keep going. It tells a lot about the teammates and what type of team you have faced with adversity.”

The way this game started, it was hard to tell which team was in first place and which one was in disarray. The Panthers also had 226 yards while holding the Bears to 49 through the first two quarters. Cutler tried to hit Marshall deep in double coverage on Chicago’s fi rst possession and got

picked off by Josh Norman near the goal line. Forte’s 13-yard scoring run through a big hole in the line on the Bears’ next possession made it 7-0, but otherwise it was a brutal half for the Bears. The Panthers might have broken it open had they converted a few more chances near the goal line.
