Undercover officers deployed BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER
In response to an influx of crime alerts, the Champaign Police Department and the University Police Department recently deployed undercover cops and increased the number of police officers on campus and in city areas. The police departments are also working with the University’s Student Patrol to meet the increased demand for Safewalks. The Champaign Police Department announced 12 incidents of mob action and robberies occurring near campus, in a press release Oct. 20. To ease students’ heightened concerns, Skip Frost, deputy chief of the University Police Department, said they are working with local police departments to address the issues. Lt. Jim Clark, Champaign Police south district commander, said the amount of police officers doubled this week. Although the amount
of officers working varies by day, he said they move several officers to different parts of campus areas at night. Regarding the implementation of undercover police officers, Frost said that the police departments are focusing on identifying and following people who may have exhibited behaviors that hint toward criminal activity. He said undercover cops could be deployed at all hours of the day. “The simplest way to put it is, when people don’t know that we’re uniform police officers, it’s kind of hard for them not to commit the crimes,� Frost said. Clark said undercover cops receive the same basic type of training as uniformed police officers, and are undergoing surveillance on possible subjects. Additionally, they watch to make sure people are not walking by themselves. He said Champaign has implemented undercover officers numerous times

YOUR VOICE
Q: Do you feel safe on campus with the recent crime outbreak? If not, will you feel safer on campus knowing that there are undercover police officers patrolling the area?
COMPILED BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER
While you won’t find much more than a view of cornfields on a drive from Chicago to Champaign-Urbana, the cities’ culture and diversity have made them stand out of the Midwestern farmland as one of the best college towns in the country. For many students in the department of landscape architecture, it’s the blend of urban and rural landscapes in the cities that attract people to the cities. “One of the things for me that I like is that you have Green Street up there with a lot of commercial attraction, but then also you have a really nice huge campus that’s right adjacent to that,� said Sam Stuber, junior in FAA. “There are quieter spaces and busier spaces within a small vicinity. It’s kind of nice to have that.� Ch a mpa ig n-Urba na ranked seventh overall in the American Institute of Economic Research’s list of Top 20 College Towns, which is part of the institute’s rank-
ing of Top 75 College Cities and Towns in America. Luke Delorme, research fellow at AIER, said the institute looked at 271 metropolitan institutional areas that had at least 10,000 students. The areas were then ranked across twelve categories. “We basically look at each category and see how far away from average is the metropolitan institutional area and then we average those,� he said. “That is how we get the overall rank.� The ranking focuses on four categories that are then divided into 12 criteria: student life, which looks at student concentration, cost of housing and city accessibility; culture, which looks at arts and leisure concentration, international student population and percentage of workers in innovative fields; economic health, which looks at unemployment rate, entrepreneurial activity and brain drain or gain; and opportunity, which looks at research and development per

Veterinary facilities to undergo renovation Improvements include leveling floors, installing metal stalls BY FATIMA FARHA STAFF WRITER
At fi rst sight, ward four of the Large Animal Clinic in the University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital looks like any regular clinic, except for its dirty, unstable floors and old wooden stalls. To make the ward feel safer and more accessible to its patients, the clinic will begin renovations in January with funds from the state of Illinois. The Large Animal Clinic is divided into four wards, three of which have already
been renovated. With the $2.1 million grant from the Capital Development Board, the clinic will implement renovations on the fourth ward, said Jonathan Foreman, professor of veterinary clinical medicine and the teaching hospital. The renovations will include installing metal fi xtures as stalls and leveling the fl oors, making them easier for horses to run and walk on. “The weather is either too hot or too cold a lot in the summertime or winter-
time, we do a lot of examinations in this space so it’s a really heavily used space,� Foreman said. “So if we can make it safer for the patients and for the students around the patients, then that’s our real goal.� Foreman said these renovations will allow for better and more comfortable treatment of the animals by students. Many of the floors in the facility are not level and have sticky textures that prevent horses from running freely during examinations. New metal bars for stalls will not only make the clinic look more professional, it will also protect the horses inside, which the current wooden stalls do not,
Foreman added. There will also be more space for the animals and their caretakers. “We don’t use this space as much as we would like to, so if we could get in here more and have it be reliable and know that when we use it that it’s safer, we see that as a bonus for everybody,� Foreman said. Melody Martychenko, graduate student in veterinary medicine, said the renovations will give horses better treatment and let the students figure out what is wrong with them more efficiently. She also pointed out that the floors will become much easier to clean, making the clinic more sanitary.

SENATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
CSEC regroups for next referendum BY ESTEFANIA FLOREZ STAFF WRITER
The Campus Student Election Commission has regrouped and is prepared for a new start after all of its members resigned last spring. The commission oversees student elections and coordinates referendum questions. Students will vote on upcoming referendum questions Nov. 12-13. The deadline to submit questions is Friday. Shawn Gordon, graduate student and chair of CSEC, believes things will be different this time around, and that communication between CSEC and the Illinois Student Senate will be handled better. “We are going to be more communicative and work with people and not just operate,” Gordon said. He said the commission is focusing on having a good communication line with ISS. No significant changes will be made to election procedures or the process to submit referendum questions, Gordon said. “There really have been no substantial changes to the referendum process. There are no bans on questions that can be asked,” Gordon said. “What we have done is we’ve fixed some of the issues that came up in the past,” Gordon said. The only change, Gordon said, is that referen-
dum questions are now submitted through an online form, which asks additional information to evaluate the question. “(We can) make sure that we can help (the submitting process) be structured in the right way, and that also facilitates any involvement that there may be with the student senate in allowing the number of signatures to be reduced.” Currently, CSEC is composed of two members: Gordon and Vice Chair Howard Liu. Only graduate students can apply to be members of CSEC, a process Gordon said he wants to change. He is currently undergoing discussions to open the commission to undergraduate students. So far, only one question has been submitted for the ballot. Grace Kyung, graduate student in urban planning, submitted a proposed $1 student-initiated fee each semester to be spent toward bicycle-related projects. She believes the fee would have a great impact on campus because it would pay to pave and paint bike lanes, expand a bike rental program, fund the Campus Bicycle Shop and hire a bicycle coordinator. “This will affect the campus in a positive way because until recently, the University did not fund any bicyclerelated project,” Kyung said. “So this fee will be essential
Illinois Student Senate considers changing student-initiated fee procedure Student Body President Mitch Dickey said the Illinois Student Senate is currently reviewing a resolution to change the student-iniated fee procedure for renewing fees. The Student Fee Advisory Committee reviews fees and makes recommendations to the Vice Chancellor, depending on if they want to increase, decrease or keep the fee the same. ISS is considering a in working toward creating positive change for everyone on campus, because it will benefit not only those who ride bikes, but those who do not, because there will be better education and encouragement programs.” Kyung also believes the goal of this fee is to create a conversation on how students can work with the University to try and fund projects. Student Body President Mitch Dickey is optimistic about the new relationship ISS has formed with the CSEC.
resolution urging SFAC to change its bylaws, so it can be involved in the Campus Student Election Commission’s process of putting referendum questions on the ballot. “It’s better to have a committee that does a recommendation after a fee is passed, and so they can help guide and do a preliminary questioning of the process and logistics of the fee before the fee even goes up in the first place,” Dickey said. The senate will vote on the resolution at its Wednesday meeting. SOURCE: ILLINOIS STUDENT SENATE AGENDA
Leading up to elections last year, CSEC did not communicate with ISS regarding candidates and the misrepresentation of the senate’s constitution. “We talked about the way we can clarify things such as the application. The fact that I already met with the chair of the CSEC, that just speaks volumes, and the communication is already better,” Dickey said.

UI drops to No. 14 in sexual health BY LIYUAN YANG STAFF WRITER
In the most recent Trojan sexual health report card, the University fell from No. 1 in 2012 to No. 14 this year, although University employees say McKinley Health Center hasn’t drastically changed sexual health services offered to students. Each year, Trojan releases the report card, which analyzes the sexual health resources and information available to students in over 140 major universities across the nation. The research, conducted by independent research firm Sperling’s BestPlaces, measures hours of operation and accessibility of sexual health resources, such as the education program, quality of information available to students and availability of contraceptives and testing for sexually transmitted infections.
Patrick Trinley, senior in LAS and former First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape Education instructor, said the fall in the ranking is somewhat disappointing. While he believes the University provides students with some resources regarding sexual health, he said it can do more in regards to sexual education, such as offering more classes on the subject. “There is a human sexuality class, but there’s nothing like a FYCARE program that’s given by the University for students,” Trinley said. “If we educated our students about sex in general better, I think that would be extremely helpful,” Trinley said. However, Lena Hann, clinical instructor in the department of Kinesiology and Community Health, said she believes it is still great for the University to be in

the top 15. She said only looking at the ranking decreasing from No. 1 to No. 14 is arbitrary. Since businesses are most concerned with promoting the products they sell, Hann believes there may be some limitations to how Trojan conducts its research. “Being someone that’s in the sexual health field and being a part of the sexual health community on this campus, I think that there is always improvement that we can make, but we do have tons of resources and information available toward our students,” Hann said. McKinley provides outreach presentations to various student organizations, as well as individual appointments to discuss sexual health, said Robert D. Palinkas, director of McKinley, in an email. The Women’s Resources Center requires incoming students to complete the FYCARE Program, which provides students with information on how to support victims of sexual assault. “(FYCARE) helps you as a friend or a family member to give you support,” Trinley said. Hann said since the University has a large, diverse student population, one type of education isn’t suitable for all students. She said she also wants to help others feel like they can make educated, caring and respectful decisions. Access to condoms and testing for STIs helps do that. Youth between the ages of 15 and 24 are estimated by the Guttmacher Institute to account for roughly half of 18.9 million new cases of STIs reported every year. “STDs disproportionately
McKinley readies for flu BY ERIC FRIES STAFF WRITER
The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) has not yet received its order of injectable flu vaccines this year due to distribution problems with the vaccine, although it is offering a nasal spray, which may not be as effective. A nurse at the CUPHD said it should be receiving its order of vaccines sometime this week. Students and faculty seeking flu shots, however, have many other options available. McKinley Health Center is offering free flu vaccinations to students Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We do not have an issue with the shortages at all,” said Vicky Burkhalter, influenza campaign coordinator at McKinley. Barry Grodsky, McKinley pharmacy director, said it has not experienced any delays or shortages because it ordered the vaccines in January. “My understanding is that a lot of the vaccines aren’t even shipping until the end of this month, so there are a lot of places that have not got any vaccine yet,” he said. Thanks to the January pre-
order, McKinley received its 15,000 doses at the end of September, Grodsky said. There have been concerns in past years over the vaccine supply, Grodsky said, explaining that there are only four or five companies that make the vaccines, and any recall or problem with production can cause shortages. Grodsky said mild side effects from the vaccine are not uncommon, but unless a patient is allergic to a component of the vaccine, people should not expect to suffer from severe reactions. Grodsky said McKinley uses a preservative-free vaccine, which reduces the chance of allergic reactions. McKinley does not offer the nasal spray vaccine because of its doubts about the spray’s effectiveness. Grodsky said more than half of the vaccine for this year is already gone. The number of vaccinations administered by McKinley has steadily increased over the past seven years. Burkhalter said over 8,500 doses have been given out so far this year. “Everyone’s getting the flu this year, so I probably should get it,” said Danielle Raquet, sophomore in DGS. CVS Pharmacies in Cham-
paign-Urbana are also offering the vaccine, and have had no shortage of the normal dose. However, as of Wednesday, the pharmacy did not have the high dose vaccine, which is intended for people over 65. The vaccine can also be obtained from Carle Foundation Hospital’s community flu clinic, located at 1702 S. Mattis Ave. in Champaign. “Supply varies from yearto-year, but Carle has ample supply of flu vaccine to meet community needs,” said Jennifer Kaufmann, public relations manager for Carle. “We received two shipments of FluMist nasal vaccine last week, and have a significant amount of regular vaccine on hand, with another 10,000 doses en-route for this week,” said Kaufmann. Burkhalter said she recommends that students get vaccinated. She added that contracting the flu could cause a student to miss classes for as long as a week. “My personal opinion is the flu shot is here, it’s easy, and it’s convenient,” she said. “I would wonder why you wouldn’t get the flu shot,” she said.
affect young people between the ages of 15 to 25,” Palinkas said. “This is due to limited access to education and health care, multiple partners and unprotected sex.” He added that chlamydia is a very common STD and female students who are sexually active are especially encouraged to get tested because unlike men, women usually do not have symptoms. Human Papillomavirus, HPV, is another common STD and McKinley offers the HPV vaccine to both men and women. In order to maintain a healthier and better sexual behavior, Palinkas encouraged students to use condoms and get tested regularly. Hann added that she has learned from her classes that conversations with your partner are just as important as practicing safe sex. “You can have condoms, but having a condom does not matter if you don’t know how to talk with your partner about why it’s important to use it,” Hann said. She said it’s important for students, adults and parents to communicate and be honest and respectful to one another. “I think the biggest barrier to people feeling comfortable communicating with their partners about sex is that they fear they would be judged or made fun of,” she said. “So not only how to be a good communicator, but how to be a good listener, and how two people who are very different can come together and have a mutually meaningful and respectful conversation about sex,” Hann said.

RENOVATIONS classrooms will allow for larger spaces, along with a more comfortable classroom setting. The funds will not apply to audio and visual renovations, which the University plans to pay for on its own. Michael Manthey, graduate student in veterinary medicine, added that the clinic will put on a more professional look that will attract more students to the veterinary program in the University, while providing a necessary service to the community. “I think it’s important, because as a part of this community, we are providing a service and with the older facility, we’re not providing that good of a service,” Manthey said. “It’s also an aesthetic to help make the facility look more professional.” In the end, Foreman said that these renovations will give the clinic more flexibility with the areas in which they can place their patients and will be more beneficial and safer for everybody involved with the animal clinic, horses and all.

RANKINGS student, amount of college educated people in the town and earning potential. “The way that we selected the 12 categories, in a way, is just our feeling of how to get our best picture of what is a good community in which to attend college,” Delorme said. “All those make up what we think is sort of a wellrounded area for the school.” Delorme said the goal of the ranking is to find which town contributes the most to the college experience. The institute does not focus on individual colleges, he said, but on the community and how it supports students. They also consider how the university fits in with the community. Don Gerard, mayor of Champaign, said the cities offer a variety of opportunities to students and visitors. “The big things are opportunities. The fact that we do have great places to be, great entertainment, great night life and if you stay here long enough, it’s a great place to start a family,” Gerard said. “We have great schools. There’s top public transportation. We’re a sustainable city ... There’s so much here.” Delorme said ChampaignUrbana ranked highly in several categories; specifically, the cities ranked second in international student population and fifth in city accessibility. According to data compiled for the list, 15 percent of people in ChampaignUrbana take public transportation to work, whereas Delorme said many college towns have less than 10 percent of people doing so. “The strength of the design of our community is, as it is close to the campus core, the downtown is relatively dense and walkable,” said William Sullivan, associate head of the department of landscape architecture. “We have good opportunities for mass transit with the MTD bus system. Also, there has been an investment in bicycles. I think that’s incredibly important

because it brings people outdoors, it puts people on the streets, it’s very healthy, and it connects neighbors with each other.” Another factor playing into the University’s high rank is the number of different arts and leisure events offered to the community. At the University and in the cities, people have the opportunity to attend events at museums, galleries and sports events. ChampaignUrbana ranked 17th for its concentration of arts and leisure establishments. Gerard said the entertainment events in Champaign are closely related to those at the University. “You see things melding in. The Krannert Center for Performing Arts, of course, is a world class facility. But then you’ll see that become part of the Pygmalion Music Festival, which also extends all the way to downtown and crosses lots of genres and age groups and audience,” Gerard said. “It’s phenomenal — we’re truly blessed with all the music and art and theater we have around here. It just becomes ingrained in a part of the whole fabric of our whole community, not just the University.” Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing said having a large university in the area helps draw visitors to the community from all over the world. “We have market at the square in the summer time; there’s music offered there, as well as fruits and vegetables and all kinds of foods, and we even started offering wine from Illinois producers. That draws people from many miles around,” Prussing said. “We have all kinds of different festivals from time to time — the Sweet Corn Festival is probably the oldest and most well known in Urbana. Sullivan said these types of artistic events help bring people together in a shared experience that leads them to talk and bond, creating a sense of community that blends students and locals.

UNDERCOVER before. If the undercover police officers are not there when crime strikes, Frost said that the uniform police officers would be there immediately once the crime has been addressed. “Officers not in uniform are not specifically tasked with responding to immediate calls,” Frost said. “They are using their own time to find people who may commit crimes like these.” Frost would not disclose information regarding undercover cop strategies, in order to maintain the program’s effectiveness. However, he said he feels the new strategies are ensuring a higher level of safety on campus. Due to the recent outbreak of crimes, Ryan Johnson, student patrol coordinator, said student patrollers have increased patrolling in highrisk locations. “Student patrolling officers are the extra eyes and ears for police and medical personnel,” Johnson said. “They also report any suspicious activity or criminal behavior through SafeWalks in areas all over campus.” Bryant Seraphin, criminal investigation division commander for the Urbana Police Department, said the city has yet to deal with heightened crimes, including group mob activity, which the city has previously dealt with. Once December hits and cold weather settles in, Seraphin is expecting a decrease in crime. With a student patrolling team of about 30 to 40 students, the team is working closely with the University and Champaign Police Departments on campus through programs such as SafeWalks, Johnson said. There are usually five to 10 requests for SafeWalks at night; however, over the last month, requests increased to 15 to 20 per night, Johnson said. He added that Thurs-
Five tips to stay safe at night
1. Do not travel alone, instead go with someone else. If alone, take advantage of SafeRides. 2. Be aware of all surroundings. Try to avoid listening to music on headphones or texting while walking. 3. Be cognizant of the time of day you are traveling. Try to plan ahead so you are not walking alone at 3 a.m. 4. Try to travel on well-lit routes. 5. Don’t drink in excess because you will make yourself an easy target . SOURCE: BRYANT SERAPHIN, URBANA POLICE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION COMMANDER
day, Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights during the week. Because the sun goes down earlier in the month of October, SafeWalks now offer its service at 7 p.m. rather than at 9 p.m., in comparison to earlier months. Although there was a spike of crimes this past month, Clark said if you compare the numbers from last year, the number of crimes has actually decreased this year. Comparing data from Aug. 1 to Oct. 15 in 2013 and 2014, there were a total of 38 crimes reported in 2013 and 26 crimes reported in 2014, Clark said. He noted that crimes reported both years included robbery and aggravated assaults such as mob action and aggravated battery. “The reason why it’s been given so much attention this past month is because of the amount of crime alerts and public safety announcements that have been sent out,” Clark said.

E DI TO R IAL Winter pilot program to offer 4-week courses to ease student burden
W
inter break is famous for delicious food, good company, a present or two and the most treasured aspect of all: time off from the daily grind of school. While we all are grateful for a four-week vacation once finals are over — a time where we can sit inside all day and binge on disgusting amounts of leftover turkey and television with little to no guilt — some of us can become antsy waiting for the next semester to start. With busy schedules during the year, we do not always have the ability to squeeze a required class into our current schedule. And even if we are able to squeeze it in, it only adds to the stockpile of work we need to do. As students take on internships, job opportunities and participate in registered student organizations, it can be difficult to take on an additional class during the school year. Now, the University is launching a pilot program, offering four-week winter courses with the chance to earn up to four credit hours depending on the class. Eight courses will be offered, ranging from higher level business administration classes to SOC 100, ATMS 120 and ECON 102 — classes that are very popular among students and help satisfy general education requirements necessary for graduation. The University has previously offered summer sessions online but never during winter breaks, and given the four-week period, the classes will be paced much faster than typical online courses. Winter is a great time to take online classes, as students do not typically partake in internships over the winter and usually do not have many other obligations, leaving the break primarily for down time between semesters. By allowing additional time to take extra credit hours, students can allocate their time more wisely during the semester and graduate earlier, helping them to save money on tuition. Or, additionally, this can provide students the chance to make up some hours to stay on track for graduation. While there are certainly questions over how much students will be able to learn in just one-fourth of the amount of time the same course would typically run, we welcome the University’s choice to test the new courses and allow more opportunities for nontraditional academic paths. We hope to see the addition of even more general education requirements as they impact various students more than extra business classes and we hope to see even larger numbers of seats available for these classes after the pilot program is complete. For the rest of us who will choose to opt out of an additional four weeks of school work after our soul-depleting finals, here’s to four weeks of friends, family, food and quality time with our couches.

BYE, BYE, HONEY BOO BOO
PARTY LIKE IT’S 1989
Honey Boo Boo has been canceled — and for incredibly good reason. Mama June is reportedly back in a relationship with a man who is a registered sex offender and sexually assaulted Mama June’s daughter Anna more than ten years ago. Although Honey Boo Boo’s mother denies the relationship, a picture recently surfaced of the two together with Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana. While the show bordered on inappropriate to begin with, this crosses a completely different line. Obviously, this is not the kind of woman America should rely on for entertainment, and we’re glad TLC felt the same.
She’s got a long list of ex-lovers, and they’ll tell you she’s insane, but we’ll tell you she’s brilliant. Taylor Swift’s newest album, “1989,� came out Monday, and we can’t stop listening. Criticize if you will, but gone are the days that Tay’s music was nothing more than a teen girl’s guilty pleasure. With a more mature, retro sound and some self-composed content, this album proves Swift is a reputable artist. So what if she writes about relationships? We all know a little something about jilted love and have self-identified as crazy at one point or another.

YO QUIERO TACO BELL
GOOD COP BAD COP?
Our world of isolated, technology-induced communication has expanded a little further. Yesterday, Taco Bell launched its new app that allows customers to order their Waffle Tacos (which we are still skeptical of), Crunchwrap Supremes and other Taco Bell fast-food favorites online. As E! News put it, “If you download the app and you play your cards right, you might be able to get your Taco Bell food without speaking to a single human.� And how could we not love that? Nothing screams “2014� quite like being able to eat tacos alone in front of your glaring computer screen without having to come into any sort of human contact. Progress, folks, progress.
We appreciate people who are different — people with unique interests and those who march to the beat of their own drum. But when that drum involves cops with weird foot fetishes, we stamp a big fat “NO� onto that. Apparently a school district police officer in Texas was charged with two accounts of “official oppression� after making several odd requests. In one instance, the officer pulled over a motorist and asked to smell her feet. In another, he pulled over another woman and found marijuana paraphernalia, but said he’d release her if he could smell her feet. We really don’t want to go into any more details about this case because we have officially reached our “creeped out� level.
Christians shouldn’t berate LaBeouf CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist
R
eligious� isn’t a word often used to describe those in show business. The lifestyles of the rich and the famous usually seem fit for “The Wolf of Wall Street,� rather than Christian groups like Intervarsity or IlliniLife. Last week, America’s sweetheart Shia LaBeouf gave an interview about how he became a Christian during the filming of his latest movie, “Fury,� in which he plays a Christian World War II soldier. “I became a Christian man, and not in a f***ing bulls**t way — in a very real way. ... I could have just said the prayers that were on the page. But it was a real thing that really saved me. And you can’t identify unless you’re really going through it,� the actor explained to Interview Magazine. Reaction to this quote has been mixed to say the least, and not without good reason. Many Christians and non-Christians found LaBeouf’s comment to be aggressive. It uses strong profanity, and LaBeouf is known for his intense and often ridiculous antics. The star’s career has been a roller coaster ride since he went from goofy and
charming child actor in Disney Channel’s “Even Stevens� to a sought after Hollywood star. Over the past few years, LaBeouf’s actions have been strange to say the least. This year alone, he wore a paper bag on his head with the words “I am not famous anymore� to a Hollywood premiere, held a public art exhibit where people could come and yell at him and got into a fight at a Broadway play. Based on these actions, it makes sense for people to doubt the sincerity of LaBeouf’s comment about his newfound Christian faith. These antics don’t coincide with the typical obedient, straight-laced behavior that people think Christians should have. As a Christian and Shia LaBeouf-enthusiast, I am hopeful that these comments were sincere and that the actor has developed a loving relationship with God. That’s what Christians hope for everyone. By embracing this Christian faith, LaBeouf could be an incredible witness to others and hopefully get his life and career back on track. But claiming you’re a Christian does not necessarily make you a Christian. I believe that being a Christian takes effort. It is just like any other relationship. You have to try to fully commit to God. Some could argue that celeb-
rities claim to be Christians in order to feel as though their actions are justified. Christianity means many things to many different people, but I believe that Christianity is about love. We were created in love, and it is through that love that we should approach God and His creation. I believe that one of my jobs as a Christian is to love others, even though it can be really difficult at times. In September, Kanye West told a crowd that he was a “married, Christian man� during a rant about the media. Obviously, when thinking of Christianity, Kanye West isn’t the first individual who comes to mind, nor do his actions exude godliness. Kanye is egotistical, brash and rude; he even says so in many of his songs. But, so am I. I don’t have cameras showcasing my behavior, but I make bad decisions and hurt people. I don’t always love others or put God first like I should. Despite these behaviors, God still loves me. Whether these individuals are serious about their faith or just making claims to gain attention, I ask, would it really be outlandish for either of these people to consider themselves Christians? I consider myself a Christian, and, in many ways, I can relate to these two celebrities. I’m not
perfect, despite what Bruno Mars lyrics might lead me to believe. Other Christians and I are not the clean-cut stable individuals that we see in Ned Flanders on “The Simpsons.� We might be battling addiction, anger or have starred in one too many “Transformers� movies, but that’s okay. It comes down to your relationship with God. There is no qualifier for what makes someone a Christian. I think that trying certainly counts. God will connect with those who make an effort to connect with him, because Christians believe that God wants to connect with us. LaBeouf further described his experience as “a full-blown exchange of heart, a surrender of control.� So whether LaBeouf’s comments are legitimate or referring to the character he played, his religion is between him and God. Ridiculing and laughing at these so-called religious celebrities should not be the Christian response. Instead, we should welcome them, pray for them and encourage them in their faith. It is through their stories that others can be inspired, and we may also find similarity to ourselves.

Flaws make superheroes relatable KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist
I
take Halloween incredibly seriously; in fact, this past weekend, I invested in a full Iron Man suit complete with an Arc Reactor, face mask and matching glow-in-the-dark gloves. You can imagine the looks I received when I placed my intricate costume on a conveyor belt in line behind girls buying cat ears or police officer handcuffs. I received some negativity from my friends and family, especially my parents, who both rolled their eyes in exasperation when I told them about my purchase. One friend explained that she thought superheroes were slightly problematic, while my mom continually asked, “Aren’t you a little too old for that now, Kaanan?� Some modern-day superheroes may receive a reputation from people, such as my friend and other adults, as individuals with flawed morals. Many speculate that superheroes are flawed in the sense that they promote messages of violence, masculinity ideals and are not as selfless as they should be. There has been a long-standing debate over whether these superheroes are actually good role models. However, I would argue that the reason these overdone Hal-
loween characters are so popular is the same reason people find faults in them: They’re imperfect. Flawed superheroes make a more believable story and in turn, allow us to connect with the characters more. Take Tony Stark for example: He’s a playboy, a millionaire and an engineer who created a powerful suit of armor and an Arc Reactor in place of his heart. He uses both to eventually fight for justice under the superhero name “Iron Man.� While Stark seems as if he has it all, he also carries a tremendous ego, exploits women, flaunts his money and has an unlimited supply of sarcasm. Over the course of his comic books and three movies, viewers can witness his character development. Stark starts to use his newfound super suit to help others and to think of himself a little less, ultimately gaining the metaphorical heart he physically lacks. While his flaws are definitely not the ideal qualities to look for in a role model, what makes him so wonderful is that these faults are relatable to some viewers. Similarly to Stark, there are some viewers that disguise their low selfesteem with humor or sarcasm, and there are others who know what it’s like to be alone. Everyone struggles with something; college students know this well. With midterms still ongoing, many job and internship hunts now starting and the everyday hustle
and bustle that is college life, students are the epitome of stressed. Because of this, I believe that when we see successful characters who are just as flawed as we are, we relish in the fact that they eventually get a happy ending. These superheroes provide an escape from our everyday struggles and replace that stress with one simple thing: hope. This concept is not new. Students who have taken a history class on campus can definitely testify. Many Greek, Roman and Egyptian mythology stories involve similar heroes: someone with extraordinary abilities but with the same dedication for a cause, nonetheless. In many ways, these modernday superheroes exemplify what mythology before our own time also showed: even heroes have flaws. From Achilles’ fatal weakness in his heel to Wolverine’s temper, each hero has something that makes him just as complicated as you and me. Despite powers varying from superhuman speed to telekinesis, superheroes are still vulnerable to human conditions such as failure. Their stories allow viewers of every age and culture to experience the same range of feelings as the hero — from grief and depression to triumph and joy. It becomes almost inspirational seeing the hero finally tie his cape back on and give a last fight. This is because when we
can’t always defeat the demons and monsters of our own lives, we become motivated by seeing a character on screen defeat his or her own actual demon. I think that is why three of the top 15 highest grossing movies of 2013 were superhero movies — “Iron Man 3,� “Man of Steel� and “Thor: the Dark World.� The issues of superheroes will always be timely: We will always want someone to find light in the darkest of times, especially in our personal lives. For this reason, superheroes will always play a special part in my life. I can still remember the 7-year-old version of myself staying up late at night reading the newest issue of “Spiderman� under my covers. I found courage, passion and a desire for justice in the comics I read. I continue to pursue these characteristics, even in my years as a college student. These books and heroes defined what I now consider important in my life. Whether superheroes are your temporary, blissful escape, your insight into what it means to be human or even your childhood obsession, one thing is for sure: Superheroes are absolutely inspirational, sometimes even the really intricate-dress-up-Halloweenfictional kind.

‘She’s the First’ supports underprivileged girls BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER
A Registered Student Organization at the University called She’s the First is working to provide girls in developing countries with the same educational opportunities available to students in the U.S. She’s the First is a national, nonprofit organization sponsoring girls from underprivileged countries to become the first in their families to graduate from secondary school. The University established its own chapter in 2013. The organization raises money for the girls’ scholarships through fundraisers and bake sales that are put on by the 117 high school and university chapters. She’s the First has helped more than 390 girls in 10 countries, according to its website, and works with other organizations in those countries that have the same mission. Alex Horton, public relations chair for the RSO and senior in LAS, said the University chapter is currently working with a group in Guatemala called Starfish One by One. “The idea is our chapter sponsors a specific girl within that organization,” said Janice Lin, vice president and sophomore in LAS. “This year we are sponsoring Milsa in Guatemala. She’s currently in ninth grade, and we continue to fund her throughout the year.” The student that the chapter sponsored last year was in her final year of school and was able to graduate with the help she received. The student they now support was selected by She’s the First’s headquarters based on her need for help. Abigael Friling, president of the RSO and senior in LAS, said the amount of money the chapter needs to raise is also determined by the organization’s headquarters, which sets a goal based on the country and the girl’s grade level.

HORROR The Co-op had managed to get a hold of a new Digital Cinema Package rerelease of “Halloween” for the event and decided to pair the 1978 slasher classic with the more modern 2007 Dougherty film. “Trick ‘R Treat” showcases mini-vignette stories with a spooky undertone instead of a straight horror feel, Shoraga said. She said the showing was important to the committee because it embodied a more realistic Halloween experience.
“This year the national headquarters, just as a general goal, wanted every organization to raise at least $600, and we’ve definitely already exceeded that amount,” Lin said. The University chapter holds biweekly meetings Wednesdays at 6 p.m. in 223 Gregory Hall as well as fundraising bake sales on campus throughout the year. She’s the First is hosting a nationwide bake-off for its chapter from Monday to Friday. The bake-off allows chapters from various colleges to compete and raise money for the girls. The University’s chapter is selling cupcakes and puppy chow on the Quad from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the bake-off with the help of volunteers from partnering RSOs, including the American Medical Student Association, the National Organization for Women and Alpha Phi Omega. The chapter also partici-

pates in what they call “Cupcake Corners” every other Friday and Saturday, in which they sell baked goods on the corner of Green and Sixth streets from around 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. With more than 45 registered members, Horton said She’s the First is always looking to welcome new members and work with other organizations. “We like collaborating with people,” he said. “If anybody is a part of an organization and sees room to partner with us for an event or fundraiser around our field — it doesn’t even nalism. They think I’m this quirky guy and will run with the answer that they know people will giggle at and the goofy weird s**t is on the forefront. But it is also just the way I am.

Why do they want to know that? I don’t understand why people care.
The rest of the 2014 Shocktober festival programming was focused on balancing the community’s unique mix of horror film tastes. “We really tried to get a wide range of generally everyone’s favorite scary movies,” Shoraga said. “So we have some modern classics like ‘Scream.’ We had some black and whites like ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and ‘Psycho’ ... a few slashers, and I think that was just a really fun experience so people could have that opportunity to really celebrate spooky movies all month long.”
have to be directly related, just as long as there’s a link — feel free to reach out; we encourage it.” Horton said he and other members of the RSO felt it was their duty to help the girls overcome the obstacles, which prevented them from going to school. “We’re living in a smaller and smaller world — how can we help each other out?” he said. “We are relatively stable in terms of our educational achievements. How can we help people in countries where that’s not the case get to where we are now?” Lin said without the help of She’s the First and its partner organizations, the chances of the girls gaining economic independence would be slim. “By allowing them to receive an education ... they can learn how to get things like microloans to start their own businesses so that they don’t always have to depend on their families or a male figure in their life,” she said. Lin added that an education also allows the girls to be more informed about issues like health care and sanitation. Many of the girls that She’s the First helps return to their communities and promote change within them post-graduation, Friling said. “So we’re not just helping one person,” she said. “In the grand scheme of things, we’re helping the whole community that they’re from, and then hopefully, eventually, the whole country.” Lin said this is the essence of the mission that She’s the First operates on. “We’re hoping it’s kind of like a butterfly effect,” she said. “By helping a few girls and funding their education, hopefully they will be able to gather the knowledge and resources to help the next generation.”

DI: One last question — who are you listening to these days? MD: I generally just listen to older stuff, but for newer bands, I’m listening to Connan Mockasin, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Jerry Paper. I want to give those guys some love. God Bless.
Though horror films do not resonate with every patron, Shoraga said she believes a sense of nostalgia grabs the attention of Shocktober lovers. Reminiscing about classic horror films and past Halloween spooky experiences brings film fans together at the theater, which is dedicated to fostering a sense of community. “That nostalgia always wins people over for horror — at least that’s what it is for me,” she said.

chamber of reflection Musician Mac DeMarco talks life, stardom, influences and dislike for ‘lazy journalism’
BY FRANCES WELCH
F
STAFF WRITER
rom Montreal to Brooklyn, Mac DeMarco has quickly turned into a laid-back, surf-rock sensation with a propensity for songwriting. His most recent album, “Salad Days,” placed No. 11 on Billboards US Top Rock Albums, and DeMarco’s songwriting has transformed his persona on the newest record. From gap-toothed prankster to a reputable songwriter with a huge cult following, DeMarco is maturing his character while reserving the right to crack a joke every now and again. At 24, DeMarco has released three successful albums, with fi rst debut solo album, “Rock and Roll Night Club,” playing a major role in his jokester image; the entire album could easily be mistaken for an Elvis impersonation. However, his second album, “2,” released by record label Captured Tracks gained him an even larger following. This past year, he has been touring
all over the country and will continue on to a European tour after his performance at Foellinger Auditorium on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Despite his jokes, DeMarco is an individual who is still dealing with the rise of fame and society’s infatuation with superstardom. The Daily Illini had the chance to talk to DeMarco on the phone and go in-depth on how his success has completely changed his life. The Daily Illini: Can you tell me about how you got started as the solo Mac DeMarco? Mac DeMarco: I started recording by myself when I was 17 or 18, and then I moved to Vancouver and started playing with different bands. I eventually ended up in Montreal where I started playing shows and those shows ended up selling out and eventually I got a record deal. DI: When did you start to notice people responding to your music? MD: I made “Rock and Roll Night
What: Mac DeMarco When: Wednesday at 7 p.m. Where: Foellinger Auditorium How: $13 for students, $25 for public Club” and my friends obviously listened to it, and I would play shows and people seemed to like it, but “2” was the album that really took off and sold out my shows. DI: Can you tell me about “Salad Days” and the writing process for that album? MD: It was sandwiched between two really long sessions of touring, so it was kind of rushed. I was on tour a very long time before that, but I had to churn out an album quickly. DI: Has your wave of fame taken away from your love of music? MD: No, I don’t think so. I don’t want it to feel like a job, but it can get a lit-

Shocktober Festival brings horror film fun BY SHALAYNE PULIA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
For Champaign’s Art Theater Co-Op’s Late Night Committee and its other patrons, Halloween has become more than just one night of costumes and candy. For the past two years, it has been a month-long fi lm festival of horror and thriller movies. Shocktober Film Festival, put on by the theater’s three-member Late Night Committee, draws the community together by featuring an array of events and horror fi lms during the entire month of October through the fi rst weekend of November. The fi nal two big Shocktober events of the season are Wednesday’s screening of “Night of the Living Dead,” which is accompanied by a live performance and original score from the Andrew Alden Ensemble and a weekend-long showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” beginning on
Halloween. Wednesday’s performance will be the fourth time in about two years that the Andrew Alden Ensemble has performed for the theater. “The music they compose is real eerie and ... atmospheric. And it’s played live, which adds a dynamic element to it that wouldn’t actually translate to playing over the speakers,” said Chris Fairfield, Late Night Committee member and an owner of the co-op. The last time the group performed, they used PVC pipes to create a wailing sound befitting the spooky tone of “Nosferatu.” The group’s score for “Night of the Living Dead” adds a unique artistic twist as well, according to Jessie Shoraga , another member of Late Night Committee. The original independent fi lm did not have the budget for its own music. Instead, it featured only public domain orchestra clips.
“It’s ... still kind of cool to actually see someone deliberately make music for the movie cause it’s something that the fi lm didn’t have an opportunity to get when it was fi rst released,” Shoraga said. Tickets to the event are on sale for $12. Patrons will also have an opportunity to buy Shocktober-themed T-shirts, which are bright crimson red with the festival’s mascot “Shocky,” a werewolf-esque creature, on the front and cost $15. The classic “Rocky Horror Picture Show” rounds out this year’s Shocktober events. Shoraga and Fairfield both said they expect a sold-out showing with guests dressed in costumes. Guests are encouraged to yell out the lines and interact with the fi lm as well. The theater hosted a blood drive back in August before showing Werner Herzog’s “Nosferatu the Vampyre,” a 1979 adaptation of “Dracula” set in eerie Transylva-
nia, to announce this year’s horror fi lm lineup. The fest officially began with a free, sold-out showing of Wes Craven’s “Scream,” which was the favorite event of the fest for Shoraga, who is the newest addition to the Late Night Committee. She joined the committee in November 2013 after General Manager Austin McCann and the other members heard Shoraga raving about the last year’s Shocktober events. Shoraga, who is one of the Co-op’s owners, has been working in the independent fi lm industry for the past 12 years as a producer. She also wrote and directed a few features, but said she mainly focuses on helping other directors and writers achieve their visions on a limited budget, something she said she hopes to promote with her work at the Art Theater. “The Late Night Committee is actually really sensi-
tive to the up-and-coming fi lmmakers, many of us are ourselves,” Shoraga said. “So, we’re actually trying to expand our programming even more to include things that were shot here or even on a national level but on a lower budgeted level.” The independent film scene is unique to the Art Theater within Champaign and has been for years, according to Ryon Shults, Shocktober patron and Class of 2009 alumnus. “I think it’s awesome that they show all these movies. So I think it’s important to spend my money on things I care about in the community,” Shults said. Though she loves her work as a producer, Shoraga said something was missing between her and her audience, something she found at the Art Theater. “When you’re an indie fi lmmaker relying on the digital world to get your stuff out there, I mean you
connect with fans through social media, but there isn’t that personal contact,” Shoraga said. “Whereas at the Art Theater I get to see regulars like every week.” Fairfield said he also enjoys the personal connection between fellow fi lm fanatics. A patron since the late ‘90s, he became a Co-op owner about two years ago. “That’s what we like about our theater. Anybody in the community can own the theater,” Fairfield said. “So it’s really unique and defi nitely engenders a community vibe that we really promote and enjoy.” On Friday, community members had the chance to spend a whole night watching and discussing a selection of horror fi lms at the theater’s movie marathon, which included headliner fi lms “Halloween” by John Carpenter and “Trick ‘R Treat” by Michael Dougherty.

Damage to surface to be determined DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Overnight flooding at State Farm Center might have damaged the arena’s basketball court. The court has been elevated on wood blocking to dry and will continue to be evaluated. A storm line blockage at approximately 3 a.m. Tuesday morning caused water to back up into the building. According to a press release from the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics, “a few inches� of water accumulated on the event level. Workers removed the water and installed fans to help dry the concrete floor. As for the basketball court, the extent of the

The athletic department also said the incident would not affect Illinois basketball’s schedule for the men’s or women’s teams. The men’s team still plans on hosting Quincy for an exhibition game at the arena on Nov. 7. The women’s team hosts its first exhibition the next night on Nov. 8 . State Farm Center is nearing the completion of the first phase of a threeyear, $160 million renovation project. The basketball court was just installed in the arena on Friday. It has been in use since the 2011-12 basketball season, but was repainted and refinished over the summer.

“He comes running up and we gave each other a big hug, which is kind of neat because the victory is fleeting,� offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. In those seconds of chaos eclipsed by a roaring crowd and ecstatic players, Cubit said how proud he was and how much he loved him. Reilly O’Toole responded with a simple, “Thank you for everything.� Cubit got to watch O’Toole seal the highlight of his collegiate career — an upset win over Minnesota. “There are so many of those (bad plays) out there, people don’t remember the good plays,� Cubit said. “Well, now they’re going to remember that the kid led us to a Homecoming win against a Big Ten division leader.� O’Toole, though modest
about what worked on Saturday, agreed that this win was more than just a “W� on the schedule. It was more than a freshman year Fight Hunger Bowl game appearance. “The bowl game was a lot of fun,� O’Toole said. “But as a freshman, I didn’t really contribute much to that game. So it was nice to contribute to a win ... hopefully there are some more moments like this later in the year, but I think having it be my senior year and being with these guys for as long as I have been, it’s making each win more and more special.� A backup to Nathan Scheelhaase his first three years and then again to Wes Lunt as a senior this year, O’Toole has put in the work to become one of Illinois’ most respected players according to team members and coaches, even
if he has not consistently been considered ‘the’ quarterback. But Saturday was a chance for O’Toole to relax and play his game without trying to force plays. While he didn’t do anything different to prepare, O’Toole admitted that he did feel more at ease. The results showed with the combination of a bye week and a state of comfort. O’Toole went 14-for-21 passing with one touchdown and 118 yards. He rushed for 59 yards on 17 carries and one touchdown. It was his second-straight game without an interception, compared to throwing three at Nebraska and another against Purdue. “I just said to play within yourself,� Cubit said. “You don’t have to go out there and be Wes Lunt; you don’t have to throw balls into tight holes;
just play your game and I’ll tailor the game plan to what you do best. And he did that.� Former quarterback Scheelhaase watched the game and, in a group text with former players, congratulated O’Toole on his win. Scheelhaase considers O’Toole one of his best friends and was extremely proud to see him step up among the questions. “I thought he should be the guy out there with Wes being hurt,� Scheelhaase said. “There’s no doubt in my mind about that. I’m not a big believer in rotating quarterbacks. First and foremost, my hopes were that he’d be the guy that’s out there and that he’s the guy looked at as a leader and as the quarterback of the team for the entire game. I was pleased

Volleyball aided by solid all-around play from Stadick BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
KEVIN VONGNAPHONE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Katie Stadick (left) and Jocelynn Birks block a hit from Maryland during the game at Huff Hall on Sept. 26. Stadick was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week for the second-straight week.
In a conference dominated by defense, the Illinois volleyball team’s defensive anchor is starting to hit her stride. Middle blocker Katie Stadick has stepped into the starting lineup this season and flourished as a defensive middle blocker while continuing to make strides as an offensive player. The sophomore leads the Big Ten in blocks per set with 1.46 and, along with fellow middle blocker Anna Dorn , who is fi fth in blocks, headlines an Illini defense that thrives on blocks and deflections from its front line. “Getting touches even if it’s not a straight down block or anything will help out the backcourt,� Stadick said. “That’s something I can always improve on.� This past week, Stadick was named the Big Ten co-Defensive Player of the Week for the second-straight
week . Stadick tallied a career-high 12 blocks against then-No. 13 Purdue on Saturday in a four-set victory as the team tied its four-set record with 20 blocks on the match . The week prior, she stuffed 11 blocks in a five-set dogfight against Iowa on Oct. 15, garnering her fi rst career weekly honor. “It’s an honor, and I’ll take it of course, but I’m mainly focused on what can I do to get better the next week,� Stadick said. Head coach Kevin Hambly said that he still views Stadick as one of the younger players on the team. This season, Stadick has started 20 of 21 matches as opposed to only picking up four starts last season . “She’s starting to figure out how to play our system,� Hambly said. “In some ways, I feel like she’s still kind of a freshman because she didn’t get a lot of playing time.

Paxson solid, stable choice for the Bulls BY K.C. JOHNSON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
In 1985, freshly hired Bulls general manager Jerry Krause wanted to surround Michael Jordan with shooters and knew the Spurs owed the Bulls $200,000. “I said to the Spurs, ‘Keep it and let me take Paxson,’“ Krause said, recalling one of his first transactions. “They said, ‘Done.’ “That’s some of the best money we ever spent.� Paxson, of course, is John Paxson, whose big shots in his nine-year stint as Jordan’s role-playing running partner reside in franchise lore. “The funny thing is, it seemed like every year we tried to find someone better,� Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said. “But we couldn’t. He was just a fundamentally sound player who knew who he was. And one of my biggest memories is Michael saying, ‘If you trade John Paxson, you better trade me.’ “ A trade never happened. And Paxson has never left. Wednesday’s season opener in New York falls on the 29-year anniversary of Krause signing the Notre Dame product and begins Paxson’s 30th season with the Bulls. He doesn’t need a gold watch. He has six rings. Most will recall his 3-pointer to beat the Suns in Game 6 in Phoenix and seal the first three-peat in 1993. Some favor his fourthquarter barrage in Game 5 in Los Angeles to clinch the first title in 1991. “He won championships,� Derrick Rose said. “You have to think about that when you’re talking to him. He played with one of the best players to ever play the game and on one of the best teams that ever played the game. He was a tough player who didn’t back down from
anybody. That’s probably why Mike respected him.� There’s also his astute, sometimes prescient, analysis during eight seasons of radio and TV broadcasting. His one season on Phil Jackson’s coaching staff during the record-setting 72-10 season in 1995-96.

Cardinals deal with loss of Taveras BY RICK HUMMEL TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHRIS LEE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Cardinals pinch-hitter Oscar Taveras points skyward after scoring on a solo home run during the National League Championship Series between the Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants on Oct. 12 in St. Louis.
Three times since the summer of 2002, a Cardinals player has died either during the season or just after it, as in the case of prized outfielder Oscar Taveras on Sunday in the Dominican Republic. “That’s something unfortunately we’ve gotten all too used to,� pitcher Adam Wainwright said, “with all the crazy things that have happened in the last 13 years.� The first of the three deaths was that of staff ace 33-year-old Darryl Kile, who suffered a coronary artery blockage as he lay in his Chicago hotel room on June 22, 2002. Hall of Famer Tony La Russa, who was manager in both 2002 and 2007 when pitcher Josh Hancock died in a one-car crash, made it a point that he and his staff would get as close to possible to the players on a personal level after the Kile death. “It’s just the realization,� La Russa said, “that part of the baseball family includes a definite professional side but also just as important is the personal side and family relationships. Therefore when you have a tragedy involving a member of your family, you have to be aware and sensitive and respectful. And it’s not anything that needs reminding. It happens naturally. “If you’re sensitive and respectful, your instincts will tell you what kind of support you should provide,� said La Russa, who admitted he, at first, had been “overwhelmed� by the death of Kile. Edmonds gives La Russa considerable credit for helping the 2002 and 2007 teams, notably the 2002 one, to bond in uncertain times.

“He was huge,� Edmonds said. “When you have a guy with that kind of presence in the locker room, he’s like a father figure. He went above and beyond and wanted to get more information for us. But, even with that message, this was not easily accomplished, Edmonds said, “For a couple of days, you’re asking yourself, ‘Why am I standing out here? A family just lost a father (Kile) and a husband.’ For a while, you can’t see straight. That was hard for us.� Wainwright’s first experience with death in the Cardinals family came in 2007. Hancock, 29, was killed in a one-car accident when the new SUV he was driving while intoxicated struck the rear of a tow truck early in the morning of April 29. The truck was in the left lane of Interstate 64 assisting another vehicle that was involved in a previous accident. Taveras’ death has a different time line to it because it did not happen during the season, Wainwright said. “Still, the next day it’s very tough. “There’s no easy way to deal with a teammate passing away. But one thing we do have in our favor is that we have a very closeknit group of guys who are going to rely on and lean on each other for support. When things like this happen, that’s when you need people the most.� Wainwright said the first step in healing in 2007 was that “we got together as a team and said a prayer.� He said he could remember exactly where he was that day, sitting on the couch in St. Louis next to his wife, when he got the call from teammate Randy Flores that
Hancock had died. Wainwright, in Georgia this time, got the call about Taveras on Sunday night, and he wasn’t able to process it immediately. “I hung up the phone and there was a sense of bewilderment,� he said. “I was totally confused and my mind kind of scattered. I was trying to make sense of it and I just kind of lost it (Sunday) night. “It didn’t hit me until I woke up this morning. I’m much more affected than I was (Sunday night). I just didn’t think it was real. “I wanted to read that it was a big hoax, that somebody had pulled a bad joke or something. It’s just really sad.� A team prayer won’t be possible now, but individual prayers will be. “It makes it tougher during the offseason, for sure,� Wainwright said, “because everybody is in different states and they’ve got families and it’s much harder to get together. But our guys do know that, if, in fact, they do need help, one of us is here for them. Edmonds, who does radio and television work now besides helping the club in spring training, was in St. Louis on Sunday night when he received the Taveras news. “The first thing I thought of was Josh Hancock,� Edmonds said. Promising Cardinals outfielder Charlie “Mule� Peete, his wife and three young children were killed in a commercial airplane crash in November 1956, near the airport in Caracas, Venezuela, where Peete was preparing to play winter ball. Peete, a former Negro Leagues player, had won
the American Association batting title, hitting .350 while playing for Omaha in 1956, and had spent a little time that season in the majors with the Cardinals, where he went 10 for 52. Still, Peete, 27, was deemed talented enough to project as the club’s starting center fielder for 1957, which would have made him the first African-American regular player on the team. Cardinals Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst played for the 1956 club before being traded to the New York Giants. “They thought he was a pretty good one,� said Schoendienst. Schoendienst admitted he hadn’t seen Peete as much as he’s seen Taveras. “This kid here (Taveras) had a lot of promise,� said Schoendienst. But, like Charlie Peete, we’ll never really know. Wainwright will remember Taveras as “a fun person to be around, and a very talented baseball player. We will miss him on the field and off. I will always remember our pregame handshake, and the big hits he collected for us down the stretch.

well that turned out.“ The cards still haven’t quite lined up right for the Illini. Statistically, the reasons behind Illinois’ struggles don’t make much sense. Through 18 games this season, Illinois has thoroughly outshot its opponents 274-176. Goalkeeper Claire Wheatley has been forced to make fewer saves than all of Illinois’ opposing goalkeepers, 62. Illinois has won more corner kicks than its opponents, 76-61. Jannelle Flaws has scored the second-most goals in the country and more than any other player in the Big Ten. Illinois has outshot all but three of its opponents in its seven losses so far this season, the exceptions being Penn State, Rutgers and Notre Dame, all ranked higher than No. 35 in the country. Only two Big Ten teams have scored more goals than the Illini. However, the one statistic that truly matters, and one that could leave Illinois out of the NCAA tournament, doesn’t favor the Illini: a 5-6-1 conference record. Off to its best start in school history late in September, the team has tailed off from the level of play that garnered it a top20 position in the NCAA rankings. That’s a position the Illini sorely wish they were in right now, as they need at least one more vic-

It would mark only the third time under Rayfield that the team would miss the tournament. Now, with the season down to the wire, Rayfield won’t be looking to statistics to provide the guiding light to success. Instead, it’s the adversity the team

The crowd listens during a Penn State University Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday. The board gathered to vote on a review of the Freeh report, the results of an investigation during the Jerry Sandusky trial led by former FBI director Louis Freeh.
Penn State trustees turn down proposal to reopen abuse case BY SUSAN SNYDER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — During a meeting Tuesday, Pennsylvania State University trustees turned down a resolution to reopen the investigation into how the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal was handled. The proposal, introduced by alumni-backed trustees who for more than a year have been pushing the board to act on, and preferably reject, the findings of former FBI Director Louis Freeh, won the support of only nine of the 26 board members who voted. Opponents said that too much remains unknown about Penn State’s role in Sandusky’s abuse of young boys on and off campus, and that they want to wait for the conclusion of criminal proceedings against former administrators on perjury, conspiracy and other charges. They also cite pending litigation by some
Sandusky victims. “I believe patience is the order of the day,” said one trustee, Richard Dandrea, a Pittsburgh-area lawyer. Freeh’s July 2012 report said former Penn State President Graham B. Spanier, Athletic Director Tim Curley and Vice President Gary Schultz had conspired to cover up the sex-abuse allegations against the former assistant football coach to preserve the university’s reputation. Critics of the report have long wanted the board to repudiate it, reopen the investigation and perhaps wipe clean the blemish on the late football coach Joe Paterno’s legacy and the other former administrators. The alumni trustees maintain that there is no credible evidence of a cover-up. Their motion would have created a board committee to reinvestigate Freeh’s work and report back to the board.
“We need to defend Penn State,” alumni-elected trustee Anthony Lubrano, a Chester County businessman, told board members during the 90-minute meeting at the Nittany Lion Inn, spurring vigorous applause from the audience. “If not now, then when? If not us, then who?” Dandrea argued that the ad hoc board committee being advocated by alumni trustees would run into the same roadblocks as Freeh: It would not have access to key witnesses or subpoena powers to get critical information. The debate became heated at times and board chair Keith Masser, a Schuylkill County potato farmer, ejected several audience members for outbursts critical of the majority of trustees. Lubrano and Al Lord, another trustee and the former head of student loan lender Sallie Mae, said they would press to gain access to Freeh’s investi-
gatory files, through the courts if necessary. “I’m going after that information,” Lord said after the meeting. “If they don’t want to do it as a group, so be it.” Masser said after the meeting that the board could look foolish if it were to take a stand only to have evidence incriminating to the university surface at the criminal trials. The board majority passed another resolution, promising to monitor the criminal cases against former administrators and take “appropriate action” when they end. Freeh’s report, after an investigation commissioned and paid for by the university, included more than 100 recommendations for improving university governance and operations. But it also included conclusions about the university leadership’s culpability, which trustees who commissioned the report said they never asked Freeh to make.
with the fact that he did get majority of the reps.” While the Illini took an early lead from the Gophers, the third quarter saw the home team struggle. As the game clock ticked down in the fourth quarter, O’Toole waited to get back on the field for a chance to put the score back in Illinois’ favor. But the game-winning touchdown came off a fumble recovery from cornerback V’Angelo Bentley and offered O’Toole a small moment of relief. “Seeing the ball on the ground, and it was like in slow motion,” O’Toole said. “And we scored, and I was kind of looking like, ‘All right, well our luck it’s probably going to be forward progress or something.’ But then it stood and I got chills on the sideline, which has never happened before.” As Illinois took the lead, the goosebumps dissipated, replaced with nerves. But for Cubit, O’Toole did almost everything right save one play. It was a short route pass that could have made a big impact, but O’Toole didn’t throw it, and even O’Toole remembers how that play could have saved the stress of the last minutes of the game and

STADICK learned the system and all that during the spring, but until she gets in live game action and in big matches, it takes a while to learn how to play, and I think things are slowing down for her.” If Saturday’s performance against Purdue was one of her best as a defensive middle, last Friday’s match against Indiana showcased Stadick as an offensive weapon. Stadick hit a career-high .750 against the Hoosiers, putting down six kills on eight attempts. It snapped a six-match streak of double-digit attempts for Stadick, but more important was her efficiency. The Illini have had a little more practice time over the past two weeks,

For Cubit, O’Toole finally settled into the role of a leader on the field Saturday. He learned one lesson that he’ll carry over into the matchup with Ohio State this weekend. It was after the play when O’Toole came up to Cubit telling him why he didn’t throw the ball. “Coach, I was afraid of a hand getting knocked on the pass,” O’Toole said to Cubit. “I wouldn’t call that if I didn’t trust you,” Cubit said. “So don’t ever play scared.” O’Toole looked at him. “Yes, coach.”

With a midweek match on the schedule, practice is limited to only scouting and preparing for an opponent, rather than teaching technique and improving as a team.

Real Madrid, Barcelona may meet again

uis Suarez may have dominated the prematch headlines, but Real Madrid stole the show in the latest edition of El Clasico. In a match sprinkled with story lines, Real coasted in a 3-1 triumph over Barcelona. In what should be clearly seen as a statement made by Madrid, this match may have just been the opening chapter in a season that could be dominated by these two titans of Spanish and European soccer. These two clubs have faced one another four times before in a European championship or in the Champions League — though never in the final.

weakness, effectively stymied the Barcelona attack time and time again. Real was simply the better side on Saturday. Barcelona had chances, even striking first in the opening minutes with a delightful Neymar finish on a assist from — who else — Luis Suarez. The infamous Uruguayan striker was, for the most part, effective in his debut notching assist and playing for 69 minutes. Most importantly, he kept his teeth to himself. Whatever conclusions one may draw from a late-October match, albeit a big match for so early in the season, both clubs have already proven themselves as top teams in Europe. Sure, it may be early, but these two clubs meeting up in the Champions League final is a distinct possibility. That exact scenario very nearly occurred in 2013 as both made it to the semifinal stage of the UCL. An El Clasico final never came to fruition, as both were defeated by decid-
edly better squads in Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, respectively. This year’s editions of Real and Barcelona, though, are much stronger sides than two seasons prior. Most of this comes from the mere fact that both squads boast two of the more potent striker trios in recent memory. Not much can stop Leo Messi, Neymar and Suarez for Barça and Ronaldo, Benzema and Gareth Bale (who did not play against Barcelona) from putting up video game-level stats all season long.

mier soccer prize may simply be a matter of fate. Though Madrid won by two goals and scored three goals on a defense that had previously conceded zero goals in eight games, Barcelona still had chances throughout the match. Barcelona generated 16 shots on goal, nine corners and won the possession battle 58 percent to 42 percent. Had the match been played at Camp Nou, the result could have easily been reversed. Still, one must give credit to Madrid, as it made better use of the chances it was given. Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty kick, while Pepe and Karim Benzema pounced on opportunities created from two separate set pieces. Barça made mistakes and Madrid, as any elite team should, took full advantage. For the most part, Madrid was in control of the match and gave Barcelona plenty of issues on the counterattack.

Instead, Emery went to the Canadian Football League and hired the lesser-known Trestman. After starting 3-1 last season, Trestman was hailed as the offensive genius that Chicago had waited for. His offense gave “Monsters of the Midway� a new meaning and gave defenses fits. He was the “quarterback whisperer,� able to make backup Josh McCown look like a Pro Bowl quarterback. But despite some success, the Bears fi nished the season 8-8. The team could’ve made the playoffs if it beat the Lions or Packers. It did neither. After just an average season, questions began to arise. T rest ma n’s i n-ga me coaching decisions were popular targets for criticism last season. In the team’s loss to the Vikings, Trestman was criticized for taking a field goal attempt in overtime on an early down instead of trying to get closer. Robbie Gould missed the kick and the Vikings won the game on the next possession. Early timeouts were called throughout the season and the team looked apathetic when it came to running a two-minute drill heading into halftime. Entering his second sea-

any in Chicago and around the NFL are surprised by what Jerry Seinfeld would call the “Bizarro-Bears.� Fans expected the team to be 5-3 heading into the bye week, not 3-5. The team has won games that it should’ve lost and lost games that should’ve been won. Because of these results, several people have become targets for criticism. Jay Cutler. Brandon Marshall. Lamarr Houston. Every member of the Bears defense. Head coach Marc Trestman hasn’t been able to escape that criticism. After being praised for the team’s performance in his fi rst year as Bears’ head coach, many now question whether he can be a winning coach in the NFL and if general manager Phil Emery made the right decision when he chose Trestman. When Emery made his coaching decision, he interviewed more than 10 coaches during the process, including Bruce Arians and Mike McCoy. There were rumors that Emery had either coach pegged as the next coach of the Bears, and
son at the helm, there were high expectations for this team. With the success that the offense had last season and a year in the system under the belt, it was assumed the team would continue to progress and take advantage of its talented offensive weapons. Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker was kept on staff after coaching the worst defense in franchise history. Free agents like Jared Allen, Wilie Young and Houston were brought in to rejuvenate the defense. None of those things happened. The defense has continued to struggle.

Trestman’s leadership and coaching skills, while initially praised last season, are now being questioned. competitive NFC West. What about McCoy? The Chargers fi nished his fi rst season with a 9-7 record and lost to the Broncos in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. The team now has a 5-3 record, second in the AFC West behind Peyton Manning and his dominant Broncos.
Maybe Emery overthought the process. Maybe there’s a reason why Trestman has been with 13 NFL and collegiate teams during his career. Maybe there’s a reason why he was fi red from North Carolina State and ended up with the Montreal Alouettes. If the Bears don’t turn the
ship around heading into the remaining portion of their schedule, maybe Trestman isn’t the right guy for the job.
