PORTRAIT BY SONNY AN

National Guard officer honors veterans in piano concert BY ANNABETH CARLSON STAFF WRITER

Pianist Ian Gindes will always remember his first big audience. It was not in a concert hall, but rather a theater in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, in front of hundreds of young soldiers at a meeting for basic training. Gindes was one of them. It was 2004 and tensions ran high while soldiers were getting deployed to Iraq. The anxious soldiers focused their gaze on a sergeant on stage, who stood beside an old, wooden upright piano with missing keys. Suddenly, he asked if anyone knew how to play. Gindes’ hand shot up, and instantly, he worried that he had made a mistake. The sergeant ordered him on stage and asked him what he could play. “Well, sergeant, I play the classics like Beethoven,” he said.

So, the sergeant told him to play. He started with one of Beethoven’s sonatas, a song that began simple but soon became complex. The sergeant acted confused and went to the piano and looked into it as if someone had played a trick on him. But it wasn’t a trick. When he finished, the soldiers shot to their feet and applauded. Looking back, Gindes said it was one of the most wonderful experiences of his life. On Sunday, Gindes performed a concert called “A Salute to Veterans” at Foellinger Great Hall, which included patriotic and jazz music from American composers. In the past, he has done a soldier’s benefit concert and a 9/11 concert. “It’s always been a part of giving back. How can I use my job to benefit the National Guard while being in it?” he said. When Gindes walked into the dark, cavernous theater,

he was wearing a black tuxedo and blue polka-dot bowtie. A spotlight illuminated the shiny black grand piano on the wooden stage. The scene was very different from his impromptu performance on a beaten-up piano in his GI uniform at basic training 10 years ago. But one thing remained the same: he’s still playing for his fellow soldiers. Growing up in Southern California, Gindes’ love for the piano began at the age of seven. His father recognized his talent and he began taking lessons. At Gindes’ first recital, he said he made his musical debut with a song called the “Wig Wam.” By age 11, Gindes said he knew he wanted to make music the rest of his life. He became more advanced and could play Beethoven and Berg. “I enjoyed bringing an audience into what I was feeling; that was really impor-

tant to me as an artist and even at that young age,” Gindes said. Gindes said he really focused on making a career out of piano during his first year of college at the University of Northern Colorado. After earning a master’s degree in Music, he applied to Illinois to study under Dr. Ian Hobson, a recognized soloist in classical music. He first learned of Hobson because his father had one of his CDs, and he wanted to study under someone who had legitimate authority as a pianist. After Gindes was accepted, he immediately moved to Urbana to earn a Doctor of Musical Arts degree. However, after a year of study, his father fell ill and he took a year off to care for him. Gindes also used the year off to build his repertoire. But something was missing.

Many students may struggle to fi nd the time to take a bus to register to vote on top of their classes, homework and extracurricular activities. Any students who missed the Oct. 7 deadline to register to vote but wants to vote in the upcoming midterm elections must take a bus ride to the closest registration location at the Brookens Administrative Center in Urbana. The Illinois Student Senate is pushing for a same-day voter registration location to be added to the Illini Union on Tuesday, so that students who missed the deadline still have the opportunity to cast a ballot. “There are a lot of students who want to vote but don’t want to go through the hassle of running out to the Brookens Administrative Center and therefore do not vote,” said Student Body President Mitch Dickey. A new law effective only for the upcoming midterm elections allows Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten to decide whether to have same-day voter registration. Dickey sent a letter to the Champaign County Clerk on Oct. 10 pushing for same-day voter registration at the Illini Union on Election Day. Hulten said the Champaign County Clerk’s office

supports same-day voter registration, but said it is unlikely that they will be able to provide all equipment needed, such as printers, to register voters within a few days of the election. “(The law) appears to give election authorities some discretion as to the location where Election Day registration can be conducted. It is not clear that we have discretion as to the schedule,” Hulten said. “The issue is, I’m not sure if we have the legal authority to do this in one location, for one day only.” Dickey said he disagreed with Hulten’s reasoning behind not allowing sameday registration at the Union. “I think it’s the Champaign County Clerk putting up a barrier himself, and that’s just the argument he is going to hide behind to not give us same-day voter registration,” Dickey said. “I see it as him saying that he would rather not give students the fullest opportunity to vote, and I would rather caution on the side of an interpretation of the law.” Matt Hill, vice president external of ISS, believes having a same-day voter registration location at the Union would increase the student vote in the elections. “Same-day voter regis-

Plans for Tasers to be proposed to Urbana BY FATIMA FARHA STAFF WRITER

After facing controversy earlier this year, the Urbana Police Department will again propose the use of Tasers to the Urbana City Council in late November. The Urbana Police Department is currently writing a proposal with the Civilian Police Review Board that they will present to the council at the end of the month, which includes guidelines on how to use the device. If granted, the Urbana Police Department will start training its officers in December on how to properly use Tasers. Patrick Connolly, Chief of Police at the Urbana Police Department, said Tasers would prove to be essential in situations where people are committing a crime or potentially harming themselves or others. “My concern is that more and more, I am seeing those types of situations arise where the officer is limited in their ability to respond to a certain event, either in people harming themselves or trying to harm others,” Connolly said. “The Taser would be a perfect tool to be able to address those without having to resort to deadly force, meaning a firearm.” Connolly said the city’s Cri-

During the meeting, members of the NAACP Champaign County branch read the names of those killed by Tasers. Patricia Avery, president of the branch, said the Tasers “could not come at a worse time” and were getting in the way of fixing the relationship between law enforcement and the African-American community.

The deteriorating, green walls of Altgeld Hall remind Matt Ando, head of the mathematics department, of an old battleship. “The University can’t let this building fall apart,” he said. “It hasn’t fallen apart just yet, but Altgeld needs renovating if it’s going to stay standing.” Ando and several colleagues presented a $90 million proposal to the University that aims to improve accessibility and modernize the building. In addition to

added space, the renovations would add updated technology, such as projectors and screens, and add more collaboration-friendly learning spaces. According to the proposal, space would increase for classrooms by 25 percent, research by 150 percent and Mathematics department offices by 20 percent. He said the University is able to commit $30 million of its own resources, but it will need to be confident it can assemble the remaining, necessary funds before it moves forward with the project.

Habitat for Humanity completes subdivision BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

A Champaign County family will soon have a new home thanks to the Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County. Volunteers are working to construct the fi nal home in Champaign’s Taylor Thomas Subdivision. The single-family home is Habitat for Humanity’s fi fth home in the two-block affordable housing neighborhood, said Sheila Dodd, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County. “The city had been trying to market homes for several years and were having diffi culties for a variety of reasons,� Dodd said. “They reached out to Habitat to see if we would be able to build it following their subdivision guidelines, and so that’s what we’re doing.� Volunteers will help

ALTGELD He said he believes the University will risk failing that reputation if Altgeld is not renovated. The building, which was added to The National Register of Historic Buildings, was originally constructed in 1897 to serve as the University’s library and administrative building. In 1927, Altgeld became home to the College of Law until 1956 when the Mathematics Department moved in. The math department has not left, nor has the building been systematically renovated, since then. The department has grown so much over the past 58 years that it now calls three other locations on campus home: Illini Hall, the basement of Coble Hall and the Oil Chemistry building. “We had to ship some graduate students off to Siberia for this. Well at least Oil Chemistry sounds like Siberia,� Ando joked while on a tour of the building. Jokes aside, Ando believes the math department needs more space and hopes to gain it from the proposed renovations. Currently, there are many classrooms on the Quad-side of the building that are not accessible to handicapped students, including the undergraduate advising office. The elevator does not reach two of the building’s five floors and is hard to find. Susann Sears, acting director of Disability Resources and Educational Services, confirmed Altgeld’s inaccessibility has been an issue in the past. When the elevator broke one year, classes had to be moved to accommodate disabled students, and the relocation ended up creating an “avalanche effect.� Sears hopes the Univer-

build a majority of the house, but professionals are hired by Habitat to complete projects such as electrical and plumbing work. With winter around the corner, Dodd said volunteers are working to complete as much of the project as they can. Over the next few weeks the University chapter of Habitat for Humanity will help make the house watertight in preparation for winter, said Alex Dowd, president of Habitat for Humanity’s UIUC Chapter. Dodd said the University chapter is a “huge help� to Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County. “I think a lot of people have the mindset of campus where campus is selfsufficient and we’re in a bubble,� Dowd said. “You get out in the community and it’s completely different. There are a lot of tough areas in Champaign, and

sity is mindful of ensuring that alternate locations are accessible during renovations. Additionally, she wants renovators to remember that adding accessibility doesn’t mean losing the building’s historic charm. “Updated renovations can be aesthetically pleasing,� Sears said. “I think there is this myth when building accommodations for people in wheelchairs or with mobility disabilities, that it has to look strange or sterile, and that is just untrue.� In addition to making Altgeld more accessible, the renovation would be aimed at also making the building more collaborative. “Right now, our classrooms are most suitable for someone to stand up in front of the room and lecture,� Ando said. “And we really need spaces where students can meet and interact and collaborate on solving problems.� Muhammad Yousuf, sophomore in LAS, had not heard about the proposed renovation, but agreed that more collaborative space would be welcomed. Yousuf takes Math 241 in Altgeld and said that the building seems “dilapidated.� Yousuf said he has always been impressed with the architecture, but it is not striking enough to distract him from Altgeld’s many flaws. He noted that there is sharp metal sticking out of old lecture chairs and that the windows don’t insulate classrooms well. Despite the building’s many flaws, Yousuf does appreciate Altgeld. “I do like the main lecture hall, how it’s circular,� Yousuf said. “It is really conducive to learning, especially in a large lecture. It does really help the flow of the lecture.� Ando said the renovations would encourage the

Families are selected based on their ability to pay a mortgage, willingness to partner with Humanity and need. “Once the house is completed, we sell it to the partner family, and they make a mortgage payment just like you and I do,� Dodd said. The completion of this home will mark the completion of the Taylor Thomas Subdivision that has undergone change since 1998.

She said it also provides families who would not be able to purchase a home on their own the opportunity to do that. “You see a transition for people who think they have nowhere to go,� Jones said. “You’re giving them a way to achieve something they didn’t think they could achieve.�

tration would make registration and voting very accessible,� Hill said. Hill believes the registration is legal, based on the Illinois State Board of Elections. He also said the Union is the universal location for early voting in the county and would be a convenient place for students to register. Dickey said he will continue to speak to the Champaign County Clerk and push for same-day voter registration for next year as well. “I am really still hoping we will get same-day voting registration, and there is no indication from our County Clerk that it is going to happen, which is very unfortunate,� Dickey said. “Hopefully in the future we will be able to get grace period registration and have these conversations way in advance, so there is no excuse about whether it is legal.�

He said since he was a child, he loved adventure. It was Gindes’ father who suggested he join the National Guard. “I always was fascinated by firefighters and being a hero in that sense, when you are young you want to get out there and do everything and have adventure, and the cool thing with the National Guard is you do parttime adventure stuff. You go to your adventure and then you come back to civilization basically,� he said. But after basic training, Gindes was not deployed. He was listed as a combat engineer and returned to Illinois to finish his doctorate. He came to the ROTC department and began officer school as well. Gindes said it was hard to balance going to school for a doctorate and becoming an officer simultaneously. “We had to get up Monday, Wednesday, Friday at five in the morning and you do two miles in -20 degrees,� he said. Despite this, Gindes loved the bonds he formed in the process. “The coolest thing about it is ... having people to look after you. I have guys who will be at this concert to look after me. They trained me, they made sure I became a very effective officer and I was very lucky ... to be in their environment it changes you. It makes you very resilient,� he said. It was also around this time that he met his wife, Ann Gindes, in 2005 at a church retreat through St. Johns Catholic Newman Center. They were married on campus in 2007. He said that she has always been supportive of his professions. “She’s been through all of it — me being at home, me being at the airport, and it’s hard to go away,� he said. Ann said that being married to a pianist is always a fun, exciting adventure. She promotes Gindes’ piano career by taking his photos and working on his website and Facebook page. Now, Gindes focuses on furthering his piano education. He

So far, his extent of service has not landed him in deployment. Gindes has also entered various competitions, and in 2011, he won the Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competition. Gindes said at the time, he had entered 15 competitions and was getting tired of rejection, so he did not expect to win. The first prize was performing at Carnegie Hall in New York. He prepared for the concert so much that he could perform with his eyes closed. However, he was still so nervous that he could not remember how to put his bowtie on and had to look up how to do it on YouTube. Nevertheless, he said that the concert went well. But Gindes said messing up is part of the business. “You just keep going ... and let the music flow ... you are playing 1000 notes you are bound to get one wrong.� Gindes said the most challenging part of being a pianist is putting himself out there. “Pianists are babies, we worry about what people think about what we do and the reason is when we perform in front of people not only are we expressing what the composer felt, but we are expressing ourselves,� he said. “But there are two different kinds of pianists: one who can play precise, and there’s the other who will put themselves on the line and take risks and show who they are. You can tell the difference, too,� Gindes said. Gindes also said that life is rough for aspiring musicians but they should keep working hard. “You have to come to the decision: do you like music? If you love music, you’ll keep going and the only thing that can get in your way is yourself because you’re the one who decided to quit,� he said. “Just keep going and keep trying.�

it isn’t appropriate in every situation. It’s just another tool we have available to us,� Myrick said. “It’s not foolproof, but it certainly causes less injuries to the officer and suspect and allows us to deescalate and control a situation much better.� Other tools such as pepper spray and batons are not always effective and cause more harm than necessary, Myrick said. Connolly also said the Tasers would allow for a safer

campus community because there have been situations when University students were involved in disputes that could harm themselves and those around them. Both Connolly and Myrick stressed that Tasers allow police officers to do their jobs without seriously harming anyone involved and serve the community more effectively.

EDITORIAL Adoration, restoration for Altgeld

W

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard the chime from Altgeld Hall and gazed up at its tall bell tower. The building is an iconic part of the University and it is arguably the most aesthetically pleasing building on campus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least we sure think so. With its old, time-worn brown bricks and its large, fantastical tower, reminiscent of something out of a fairy tale, we can all appreciate the beauty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; visually and aurally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of Altgeld Hall. However, despite the appreciation we hold for Altgeld, few of us have probably taken the time to acknowledge the history of the building. Understanding Altgeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history is important and in line with why we are glad to see that renovations are finally happening to the building. Built in 1896, it served as the University library. Then in 1927, it became home to the College of Law and after that, in 1956, it changed purpose again to house the department of mathematics. As such, thousands upon thousands of students and faculty, both past and present, have walked through the doors of this building and used it to further their successes at the University. And if you have ever taken Statistics 100, which is likely since a healthy majority of students take it as one of their general education requirements, you might have your class or taken your exam there. Since the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose changed in the 1950s, though, not much change has been made to the building. Though the math department has grown, Altgeld hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, so the department is also housed in three other buildings on campus. The building is also not the most accommodating for students with physical handicaps. We look forward to changes so that Altgeld can help maintain the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ranking in disability friendliness across United States campuses. With students and University faculty coming in and out of the building for classes and exams, it would be beneficial for everyone if the building was given more space and more accessibility, as proposed. It will cost an estimated $90 million to complete the renovations needed, but that money would be well spent on preserving this building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Restorations throughout the building, including the glass dome ceiling in the library, are also planned. For those students who spend their time working in the Altgeld library, they will no doubt appreciate it being brought back to its full potential. Situated between Alma Mater and the Quad, Altgeld holds an important location on our campus, and its unique architecture adds to its memorability. We look forward to the renovations that will allow Altgeld to maintain its prominent, regal place on our campus.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BEARDS

FIRST AND LAST GAME

Halloween is over and there are 53 long, cold days until Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not that we are counting or anything. But what we can look forward to in the meantime are 30 days of hairyfaced splendor. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, ladies and gentlemen, No Shave November is back in action. Not only does it aim to raise cancer awareness, but the month allows for a certain level of laziness for men, who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pick up their razors, and many of us simply enjoy the rugged appeal of a nice looking beard. Let the hair growing commence.

Lauren Hill played her first basketball game for Division III Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati on Sunday. It will also likely be her last, as the freshman is fighting inoperable brain cancer. Hill was diagnosed with the disease soon after she committed to the university during her senior year of high school, and doctors have given her months to live. While Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is unique and tragic, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also inspirational. The 19-year-old wants to continue living life to the fullest for as long as she can, something everyone should do but that many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s let Hill be our reminder.

', '(1,(' HALLOWEEN RECAP

DISNEY CATCHES FIRE

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wrap for Halloween 2014, and we are sad to see it go. For many students, the weekend was filled with tricks, treats and annoyingly cold walks across campus from party to party â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, like, really though, because it was windy and freezing and we hated it. In fact, many sported their superhero footie pajamas as costumes just to stay warm. We also saw many creative costumes this weekend, including homemade puns and popular TV characters. But, of course, in addition to that there were about a thousand cats, Supermans, girls with sugar skull makeup and sexy cops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and yes, by â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexy copsâ&#x20AC;? we are referring to the costume.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the happiest place on Earth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until the attraction you waited an hour to ride catches fire. On Saturday, an exterior portion of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Walt Disney World ignited, likely because of fallen embers from the Magic Kingdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nightly firework show. Luckily, those on the ride while the incident occurred sustained no injuries, and the roller coaster suffered minimal damage. In fact, it was up and running again within two hours. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably safe, but, personally, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to pass that one up on our next trip to see Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s castle.

Wages should be livable BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

T

oday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly impossible to have a conversation about the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minimum wage without flaring up some sort of tension. Those who favor business and profit seem to think raising the minimum wage would lead to a rise in costs of manufacturing and would be detrimental to the economy, while others tend to argue for the millions of minimum wage workers across the country who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live off of their pay. This contentious issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eased by the time of year, with politiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chatter and attack ads both focusing on the topic. In fact, both of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Governor candidates have been especially intent on mentioning alterationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; $8.25 per hour minimum wage, with Pat Quinn calling for a raise to $10 an hour and Bruce Rauner calling for a reduction in the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour. At first, I was not surprised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rauner, a venture capitalist CEO, thinks the minimum wage is too high. What a shock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; next theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell me the Pope is Catholic. But upon thorough

examination, lowering the minimum wage seems like the furthest thing from helpful. What is so striking about the argument to lower the minimum wage is that even at its current level, the minimum wage in Illinois isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a living wage throughout the state. The living wage, as calculated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the amount of money required to meet minimum standards of living. Thus, it is not merely a flat number across the country but varies accounting for food expenditures, health care costs and transportation, among other things. Cost of living also varies across Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; counties, with some being much more expensive than others, and, more times than not, the minimum wage is not enough to live off of. Here in Champaign County, for example, the living wage for one adult sits firmly at $8.30 an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just five cents above the state-wide minimum wage of $8.25. While this seems reasonable, Champaign County is also one of the more affordable places to live in the country. In Chicago, the living wage for one person jumps to $10.48 an hour. In New York City, the living wage is $12.75 where the minimum wage is $8.00 an hour.

These figures are startling. This means that a worker who is employed at a full-time job at minimum wage in these expensive areas canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make enough money to adequately live off of, instead requiring them to turn to government welfare programs or work extreme amounts of overtime. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more frightening, is that once a child is added in the equation, living wage nearly doubles, soaring further out of reach for those who lack beneficial educational opportunities or have other limitations. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an economist, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure a fast spike in minimum wage would certainly change the way a lot of businesses operate, but, as Americans we need to realize that, at the risk of sounding like a bleeding-heart liberal, people are more important than profit. Bottom line: Everyone who works a standard, full-time job should be able to earn enough to live off of. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to seem ridiculously patriotic, but there is no excuse for this when we live in the United States of America, arguably the most developed country in the world. The economy is ripe with problems outside of my personal realm of understanding, but the fact that someone can work 40 hours a week at a job making

minimum wage and then still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live off of the money is a problem for another era. In a country that prides itself in its strong workforce and its status as a global leader, the fact that the minimum wage does not translate to a living wage for so many citizens is a travesty. All workers should be entitled to living, regardless of the circumstances they have encountered along the way. We, as Americans, can no longer accept a minimum wage below the living wage as a societal norm, because even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on those minimum wage jobs, millions of people do, and they deserve just as much of an opportunity at life as me, you or anyone else. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be going to the polls this Tuesday just like thousands of voters all over the state, but what I will be sure to remember is that at a time when so many Americans are struggling to get by on minimum wage, Mr. Rauner and his ideas on wage cuts couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more out-of-touch. Workers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need their wages cut right now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they need the opposite. They need to be able to live off of a minimum wage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anything else is shameful.

Authors influence reading habits EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

I

have many obsessions: Netflix, Diet Coke, music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the list continues. But the chief among them is Mindy Kaling. I love everything about her. Her television show, latenight interviews, Twitter feed, words of wisdom about body image and everything else. So, in 2011, when her book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)â&#x20AC;? came out, I bought and read it within about a day. I reread it in the same time frame this past summer when I was looking for ways to kill time during slow waitressing shifts. If you read my column a few weeks ago, you should know how highly I value reading. Leisurely reading is imperative for college kids, and yet, we rarely pick up a book for fun anymore. But when books in the same vein as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)â&#x20AC;? come out, people flock to them and read them in seconds. The latest examples are Amy Poehlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes Please,â&#x20AC;? and Lena Dunhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not That

Kind of Girl.â&#x20AC;? Fans of Dunham and Poehler somehow carve out time for their autobiographies. They are the exception to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no time to leisurely readâ&#x20AC;? rule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; simply because people are invested in the authorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Dunhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book has been on the New York Times Bestsellers list in various categories since its release â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough. There are other examples, too. And not just autobiographies. Take, for example, B.J. Novakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;One More Thing,â&#x20AC;? a collection of fiction akin to David Sedaris. James Franco has also penned fiction, as has my girl M. Kaling. The topic matters, but here, the author matters more. While the autobiographies seem to be the most anxiously awaited, fans and haters alike all seem interested in what these people can come up with. People we normally see acting on our televisions relaying stories other people have written for them are now relaying stories they themselves have written for us. These books have almost turned into the saving grace of leisurely reading. The book you read for fun when you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picked up a book in ages. The autobiographies are like the People Magazine for

those who would otherwise be featured in Rolling Stone. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than that. Mostly because these seem to be the types of celebrities that are down to earth and realize there is more to being famous than the David Bowie version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fame.â&#x20AC;? These are men and women who speak more about social issues than who theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping/fighting/making up with that week. Not that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem, but they draw different crowds and send different messages. The former is composed of these authors. People we look up to. People who will provide us with entertainment and life lessons. Plus, if their shows are entertaining, we think their books will be, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they are. Still, fans might not know a lot about these celebritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives, especially in a way that does not concern salacious gossip or speculated rumors. The intrigue lies in the interesting stories we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know without them telling us and what they have to teach us. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling us first-hand accounts of how they got to where they are and how they deal with it at present. Something that we can actually learn from. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing â&#x20AC;&#x153;speculatoryâ&#x20AC;? about it.

And if we spend our time wishing we were more like Amy Poehler, reading her book becomes a source of advice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an answer to WWAD (What Would Amy Do?). Their compartmentalized nature makes for easy reading if we want to pick it up for a bit and put it back down. But if we get stuck in it, like I found myself with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns),â&#x20AC;? it tends to go fast enough that not too much time has been spent away from â&#x20AC;&#x153;homework.â&#x20AC;? All of these people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and books â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are what I look up to. If I have to set down a magazine or my phone for a bit to finish these books, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. I can close a book and artificially feel like Mindy Kaling is my best friend who has also taught me about life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and also about how to start working on a television show. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that our favorite stars keep writing books that inspire us and books that we can obsess over. Whether works of fact or fiction, the person is what keeps us reading. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read about them, hopefully, it can serve as a springboard to reading about other things as well.

departed. Later in the evening, they will light candles and sing by their loved one’s grave. For those who can’t make it out to the graveyard, they create altars at home. These altars traditionally include staple items such as flowers, food, sugar skulls, photographs and candles. Nowadays, a lot of altars have evolved to include elaborate displays of artwork. Many have been used for political purposes. In the past, student organizations on campus have created altars dedicated to 9/11 victims and victims of bullying. Thursday’s event featured an altar that commemorated victims of violence at the borders. “People have definitely branched from just honoring their family members and commemorating their family members to really using the altars as a way to make a political stand or an activist stand or a social justice stand versus some of the injustices that happen in our society and some of the deaths that have come out of those injustices. So they definitely vary, but traditionally, it was very much family members, community members and that sort of thing,” Sanchez said. The holiday allows people to honor the dead, in their own way. “It’s like Christmas, you know, everybody has their own Christmas tree during the holiday season. We have a table with pictures, candles and stuff like that,” said Yadira Ramirez, secretary of the Mexican Student Association and sophomore in LAS. Ramirez’s earliest memory of creating an altar on Dia de los Muertos is that of her great grandfather’s altar. Because her family migrated from Mexico to Chicago without bringing many possessions, they resorted to using his picture, candles and some other staple items such as the marigold flowers and traditional Mexican bread. “I think it’s important to keep a connection with my culture in order to provide the same cultural experience for my future kids and keep it ongoing through generations,” Ramirez said. “I think it’s very important, and it’s a part of who I am.”

University of Akron pitchmen Willy, left, and Chris renew their campaign to help students save money and graduate sooner with new, improved Finish in Time, now with faster-acting graduation results.

University uses fun infomercials to push students to graduate on time BY RICK ARMON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AKRON, Ohio — The University of Akron is joining the ranks of the Snuggie, OxiClean and Ronco Spray-on Hair. Yes, UA has entered the fast-talking, quirky world of infomercials. And it’s hoping funny videos urging students to graduate on time are just as effective as selling offbeat products. So far, it is. The cheesy videos, being shared with students via email and crafted like low-budget infomercials, are part of the university’s larger Finish In Time (F.I.T.) effort. UA is urging students to take at least 15 credit hours each semester, noting that it’s the same price as taking 12 and leads to on-time graduation. On top of that, students save money. In the second UA video hitting campus recently, co-hosts Chris Stimler and William “Willy” Kollman channel their best Billy Mays and Ron Popeil as they dance awkwardly, raise their voices and make goofy comments while drilling home the serious message about the benefits of graduating on time. Or as the infomercial puts it: “You’ll experience, over

time, side effects such as ...” says Kollman, UA’s associate director of alumni relations. “More cash in your pocket. Less college debt,” interjects Stimler, assistant director of admissions. “And a craving for an extremely large burrito,” Kollman finishes as a large burrito wrapped in foil magically appears in front of them. “So join the masses and schedule your classes today.” They say all this while standing in front of what looks like cereal boxes plastered with the F.I.T. brand and, of course, the phrase “As Seen on TV.” The infomercial lasts a mere 1 minute, 30 seconds. Both videos are available at http://tinyurl.com/ nyajcn2 and http://tinyurl. com/pljo5yr. The marketing campaign, which began last school year, includes posters and the videos playing on internal message boards. It’s also backed by advisers who are recommending the same idea with students. “We really pushed that heavily last (school) year,” said Stacey Moore, UA associate vice president for student success. “We presented it at every new student orientation. We

talked to all the parents. We showed them very specifically to the penny how much money they will save — both now and at the end. We show them exactly the lost salary potential.” It appears the approach is working. There was a 28 percent increase in first-time, fulltime freshmen taking at least 15 credit hours this fall compared to the same period last school year. Today, more than 50 percent of UA freshman are on track to graduate on time. A survey released last year by Complete College America, an Indianapolis nonprofit, concluded that 52 percent of full-time students nationwide were taking fewer than 15 hours, the standard that would lead to graduating in four years. “The University of Akron is on track to be a national leader when it comes to increasing the number of students taking 15-plus credits a semester,” said Blake Johnson, spokesman for Complete College America. “By the progress you’re seeing in your first-time freshmen, you are taking big steps to change culture. Most of your freshman are on track to graduate on time. That’s a big deal.”

That’s the amount of women in the U.S. who have a history of breast cancer. With about 1 in 8 women expected to develop invasive breast cancer in their life, it is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer for U.S. women.

icole Crifase remembers sitting in the bathtub, clutching her knees and trying to comprehend what had just happened. It was March 27, 2005, and her mother, Darcie Crifase, had just lost her battle against breast cancer. To the senior in LAS, life without her mother seemed completely unfathomable. With this coming spring marking the 10th anniversary of her mother’s death, Nicole said she views this year as a turning point in her grieving process. “My mom was diagnosed with

breast cancer in 2003 at the age of 38. About a year later, she went into remission. But a few months following, the cancer had come back full force and she died only a few months after that,” Nicole said. “When she passed, I remember being so afraid and confused as to what was happening. I kept trying to rewind time and go back to 5 minutes earlier, when she was still alive.” Just 12 years old at the time of her mother’s passing, Nicole said no one could forget her mother’s “caring and brave spirit, willingness to help others, and her sassy side.” “Everyone loved my mom and

when I say everyone, I actually mean everyone.” Nicole said. “The entire town and the towns over showed up to her wake. It was like this because my mom (was a nurse) and had the biggest heart (for helping people) of anyone I know.” Nicole said her father, Nicholas Crifase, remembers his wife in a similar light. “I remember her infectious personality. She had a gift for making the mundane so much more enjoyable,” he said. “She was sassy; I never knew what she might say next. And her smile — it always warmed my heart.” Nicole said her favorite sto-

ries about her mom include the ones of her nursing others back to health — both at her work as a neonatal nurse and in the community — and even the time she created a “mini hospital” for Nicole and her sister’s pet hamsters. “My mom worked with premature babies and she used to bring me along to home health visits,” Nicole said. “At one point, she was working with a family who didn’t speak English very well so rather than asking for an interpreter or giving the family to a different nurse, she decided to teach herself Spanish.”

Dia de los Muertos celebrates life, honors dead BY BECKY NGUYEN STAFF WRITER

La Casa Cultural Latina, University YMCA and La Casa Alliance of Student Organizations came together to celebrate Dia de los Muertos on Thursday at the University YMCA. Latzer Hall’s perimeter was aligned with altars in commemoration of loved ones and colorful banners to liven up the dim room. There was music, snacks and children running around with their faces painted to resemble sugar skulls, the symbol of Dia de los Muertos. “The face-painting is not putting on a costume, but it’s more so a lot like the honoring and the welcoming back,” said Berenice Sanchez, assistant director for La Casa Cultural Latina. “Really, it’s like a homecoming for those who have passed. So them coming back home and getting to reconnect for the days that they have.”

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is two full days of celebration and always takes place on Nov. 1 and 2. The first day is dedicated to commemorating children and the second is for the adults who have passed away. It’s believed that on those days, the souls of those who have passed away come back to Earth to reunite with their families, according to Sanchez. The holiday dates back to the Aztec Empire and relies on bright, colorful celebrations to honor the deceased. “It is not a day that’s for worshipping death. It’s a day in honoring life. You’re honoring the people that come before us who are no longer here in this realm, but we honor them by remembering them and keeping them in our memories. That’s what Dia de los Muertos is about, not about gloom, sadness or scariness. It’s supposed to be a joyous time,”

Share your thoughts!

said Eric Garcia, who was the guest speaker from the National Museum of Mexican Art at Thursday’s event. At the event, Garcia gave an in-depth presentation of the history and tradition of Dia de los Muertos. “There are people that believe that the spirits come back and there are people that believe the spirits don’t come back,” he said. “The thing about Dia de los Muertos is that it’s a special time of year where we get together with our loved ones and we converse and we talk and we remember.” Dia de los Muertos is celebrated differently depending on the country and region, Garcia said. Usually what happens is families go to the graveyard on Nov. 1 and may bring sugar skulls, fresh marigolds and other favorite foods or possessions of the

Volleyball defeats Michigan, extends streak to 7 After losing first 2 sets, Illinois rallies for the win BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER

Last season, the Illinois volleyball team faced a 2-0 deficit against Michigan on the road, only to improbably win the match in five. The victory spurred a sixmatch winning streak that propelled the Illini to the NCAA tournament. The two teams faced off in Ann Arbor on Saturday and it was deja vu all over again. Illinois (18-5, 10-2 Big Ten) again quickly fell behind 2-0 against Michigan but came back to claim the match in five sets for the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second win of the weekend and seventh in a row. Illinois also topped Michigan State in four sets on Friday in East Lansing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any win on the road is tough, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re important. Especially with where we are and we control our own destiny in the conference,â&#x20AC;? head coach Kevin Hambly said. The Illini were led by Jocelynn Birks and Alexis Viliunas, who each posted double-doubles against Michigan. Birks recorded 26 kills and 13 digs, while Viliunas tied a career-high with 20 digs to go with 53 assists. Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abby Cole had 20 kills and Adeja Lambert put down 16 kills with 17 digs. Illinois forced 32 hitting errors from Michigan and held the Wolverines to a .185 hitting percentage for the match. The Illini outblocked the Wolverines on the match, 12-7. The Illini had a 21-16 lead in the second set before the Wolverines rattled off nine consecutive points to steal away the set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a ball away and we really struggled,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time in a long time, I saw a fracture in the team.â&#x20AC;? After halftime, however, the Illini were focused and would lead for the majority of the third and fourth sets before taking the fifth set

Illini buried by Buckeyes Penalties and turnovers derail Illini in blowout BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

COLUMBUS, OHIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The expectations were low, but Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 55-14 loss to No. 16 Ohio State was nothing less than a one-sided affair. The Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense trumped the Illini, gaining 545 yards and putting seven touchdowns on the scoreboard. Ohio State forced four turnovers, including two interceptions thrown by Illinois quarterback Reilly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole. The seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fi rst interception of the game came on Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening drive, when a deflected pass through the middle was caught and returned for 26 yards by Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a very good job at bouncing back from those mistakes,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept digging ourselves in a bigger hole.â&#x20AC;? Freshman running back Curtis Samuel ran for a 23-yard touchdown on Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third play of the game after starting the drive at Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 38-yard line. Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said he felt the game was decided â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty early.â&#x20AC;? Ohio State began eight drives inside or within one yard of midfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win football games if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving the ball to them on the plus side of the 50,â&#x20AC;? Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in a game like that before. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defi nitely not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;winning football.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The Buckeyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense was working quickly, even putting together a 14-second scoring drive at the end of the first half to make it 31-0.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to fi nd any silver linings,â&#x20AC;? defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously have to coach better and play better.â&#x20AC;? Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; composure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help out early either. Illinois had five penalties in the first half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one canceled out by an Ohio State fl ag. Even Beckman was assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty late in the first half. All four Illini player penalties came on the offensive line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything that could go wrong, went wrong,â&#x20AC;? offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just one of those games.â&#x20AC;? Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initial scoring drive came as a result of an Ohio State penalty that allowed the Illini to convert on a fourth-and-3 inside the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; red zone. Another facemask penalty made it first and goal before running back Donovonn Young reached the end zone on a 3-yard rush to end the shutout late in the third. Ohio State continued to

extend its lead in the second half, adding three more touchdowns and a field goal to extend its lead to 55-14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way we expected this to go at all,â&#x20AC;? said Illinois linebacker Mason Monheim, who forced a fumble late in the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the few bright spots on a dim night for the Illini. Monheim echoed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;forget about it and move onâ&#x20AC;? attitude Illinois players have expressed all season following losses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to do after five of their last seven games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go back to your winter workouts, your spring ball, your summer workouts, and you say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Did I do all that to dwell on a loss?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; No, I did that to win ball games,â&#x20AC;? Monheim said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And dwelling on a loss isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to get you a win in the next game.â&#x20AC;?

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country finishes 9th in Iowa City BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER

IOWA CITY, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crosscountry team battled under tough conditions at the Big Ten Championships on Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa, but fi nished ninth of 14 teams. No. 1 Michigan State and No. 8 Wisconsin finished first and second, respectively. The fi nish might not have been what the team wanted, but it was a building experience nonetheless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I defi nitely think we can build off this,â&#x20AC;? junior Amanda Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can use any frustration we had as fuel

for regionals.â&#x20AC;? Sophomore Hanna Winter fi nished fi rst for the Illini and 38th overall, while Fox finished 46th. Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leah Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor won the individual title and Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Disanza fi nished second. Winter started the race conservatively and felt at around the 3K mark she started to â&#x20AC;&#x153;kick it into gearâ&#x20AC;? and move up into a better position. Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish really helped her gain more confidence knowing she can run with the top runners on the team. Head coach Scott

Jones called her fi nish a big breakthrough for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been steady, but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more there and she demonstrated that today,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She certainly outperformed my expectations and hopefully this is just a springboard.â&#x20AC;? Jones went on to add that with her confidence growing and her continuing training, she will improve even more going forward. These will be two necessities the team will need over the next two weeks as the Illini prepare for regionals.

IOWA CITY, IOWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Disappointed expressions lurked on the Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces after its sixth place fi nish at the Big Ten Conference Championship meet on Sunday. With a chance to beat four ranked Big Ten opponents, Illinois came into the conference championship hoping for a top-five fi nish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal was a little bit higher,â&#x20AC;? head coach Jake Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt as though fourth, fi fth, somewhere around there was a reasonable goal and I think for the most part we put ourselves in position to go out and fi nish in that range, we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close out as well as we would have liked to.â&#x20AC;? Illinois fi nished behind No. 6 Wisconsin, No. 14 Michigan, Penn State, No. 20 Indiana and No. 22 Michigan State. Wisconsin sophomore Malachy Schrobilgen fi nished fi rst overall for a second year in a row. Illinois senior Jannis Toepferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to improve his sixth-place Big Ten fi nish in 2013 and com-

pete with Schrobilgen for the top spot. Sunday, however, did not go as planned for him. Toepfer finished first overall for Illinois and 23rd in the meet, completing the race in 24 minutes, 14 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was not what I was looking for,â&#x20AC;? Toepfer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge disappointment.â&#x20AC;? Throughout the early going the 105 runners stayed in a close pack. The four-kilometer mark was when runners began to break away from the group and it was also when the race began to take a toll on Toepfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got out fine, right where I wanted to be,â&#x20AC;? Toepfer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we went back up that hill again for the second time, suddenly I just felt my legs

getting really heavy and the race started moving and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move.â&#x20AC;? Finishing exactly one second behind Toepfer in 24th place was Illini junior Ian Barnett, who fi nished with a time of 24:15. Seniors Bryce Basting and Brendan McDonnell took 30th and 38th place, respectively. Junior Paul Zeman came in 45th place while junior Liam Markham, sophomore Will Brewster and freshmen Garrett Lee and Alex Gold all fi nished beyond 50th place. Despite the team not meeting its expectations, Barnett was content with his individual performance, as he felt it was one of his better races of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally it was nice to be out there and be

ON A LIGHTER NOTE Ohio State’s backup quarterback Cardale Jones had trouble releasing the ball on a pass and threw it directly into the ground, which was picked up as a presumed fumble recovery by his former high school teammate and Illinois defensive back V’Angelo Bentley. On the brief return, the backup quarterback close-lined Bentley for an impressive tackle, after which the two laughed it off on the field.

QUOTE OF THE GAME “You go back to your winter workouts, your spring ball, your summer workouts, and you say, ‘Did I do all that to dwell on a loss?’ No, I did that to win ball games. And dwelling on a loss isn’t going to get you a win in the next game.” MASON MONHEIM LINEBACKER

Dudek breaks single season record at OSU BY ERIK PRADO STAFF WRITER

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Though the Illinois offense was virtually nonexistent in the team’s 55-14 loss to Ohio State, freshman wide receiver Mike Dudek broke the Illinois single season record for freshman receiving yards. It was a record he didn’t even know he broke at the time. At the 6:47 mark of the first quarter and with the Illini down 10-0, offensive coordinator Bill Cubit dipped into his bag of trick plays to spark a stagnant offense. Q ua r terback Rei l ly O’Toole was in the shotgun formation with two blockers flanking him, one wideout outside the hashmarks and one offensive lineman five yards in front of him. The remaining five linemen were lined up to O’Toole’s right. Behind them was Dudek. O’Toole quickly fired a pass to Dudek who, with the convoy of blockers, took it upfield for a 56 yard gain. “It was just another thing we throw out there, just got to throw some stuff at the wall. A lot of times, it works,” Cubit said. Dudek said the team had executed the play throughout its practice week. The play also succeeded because Ohio State’s formation was one the Illini liked. “That was an awesome play for me, when you’ve got all those big linemen in front of you and you’ve just got to make one guy miss,” Dudek said. Despite being in a stadium that seats nearly 105,000 patrons, Dudek could not hear, nor see, the fans all that well as he

could try to give some profound analysis of Illinois’ loss to Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday night, but what’s the point? The Buckeyes are good at football, and Illinois got spanked. Shocking, I know. It’s the same old story. Illinois has lost its last 12 games against Ohio State and Wisconsin, the last win over either happening in 2007. Illinois is simply outmatched when it faces the top teams in the Big Ten. There’s really not much more to say at this point. I could write the same old column I write pretty much every week about Illinois football disappointing everyone on campus again, but, like I said, what’s the point? I don’t know that Illinois fans gained anything from watching the 55-14 thrashing. Be honest, if you’re a University student on campus this weekend, did you even turn on the TV at seven to watch the game? With a nationally televised primetime game on Halloween weekend, few students in Champaign cared. Illinois football fans don’t even get nervous before a big game these days because no one expects the Illini to win. Students have so many

made his way towards the south end zone. “After I made that first guy miss I looked up at the screen, and I could see the two guys coming,” Dudek said. “So then, I don’t know what happened but I just covered the ball up naturally. And they got me.” Before kickoff, he only need 38 yards to break Arrelious Benn’s previous record of 636 receiving yards, set in 2007. Though Dudek enrolled at Illinois in January and impressed coaches early on, Cubit did not think Dudek could break the record. But Dudek and injured starting quarterback Wes Lunt immediately displayed a rapport, especially when the freshman hauled in eight passes for 200 yards in a loss to Purdue . Both are highs in his young career. Cubit said Dudek’s opportunities have recently dwindled because of the style of offense the team has adapted in wake of Lunt’s injury. Yet, he has still hauled in passes no matter who has been under center. “That’s a credit to him,” said Cubit, who also added that Dudek is just a “super kid who loves football.” For Dudek, the record was one of three goals he set for himself at the beginning of the season, though he said he could not be happy about it following the loss. As for the other two goals he set for himself: “One of them was to be All-Big Ten. And then the other one was to win the Rose Bowl,” Dudek said.

It would be nice to experience whatever it is those Ohio State students experience on a gameday when more than 100,000 people show up to a game against Illinois. Buckeye fans watched their team accumulate 545 total yards of offense and force four Illini turnovers. The game was predictable; Illinois trailed 24-0 midway through the second quarter. Head coach Tim Beckman didn’t have much to say after the game but

This marked the first time Illinois has swept the road trip since 2003, the fi rst time Hambly had been a part of a sweep of the two

teams, although he was hesitant to make a big deal out of the results. “Everyone is bringing stats about what we have done and what we haven’t done. The thing that I like is that we’re unfi nished,” Hambly said. “I’m not really happy with the way that we’re playing, but we’re fi nding a way to win.”

All signs point to quarterback Wes Lunt returning for the Illini after next week’s bye. That’s a positive, but it won’t mean much unless the Illini can hold their next three opponents — Iowa, Penn State and Northwestern — to manageable scores. The Illinois defense isn’t going to shut anyone out, but if it can keep things manageable, Lunt and the

offense will have a chance. If you’re an Illinois fan and you haven’t already blacked out the Ohio State game from your memory, go ahead and do so. The score was predictable, and the game forgettable. But the next three games are what is important. Each is winnable, and you’ve got to like Illinois chances against the Hawkeyes following the idle week.

ning with cooler temperatures actually helped the team more than warm temperatures. He also pointed to the course saying it was one that runners needed to manage differently due to the different style. “The course was one that I think was a fair course,” Jones said. “There were some ups and downs and there were some challenging parts that took its toll on people that went out too fast.”

Up next for Illinois is the NCAA Regional Championships in Peoria, Illinois. Stewart wants to see his team move past Big Tens and focus on improving. “It’s not the end of the world,” Stewart said. “We have to continue to put some work in next week, get our legs under us and go to regionals and try to move up a couple spots into that meet. That’s about all we can do.”

Soccer forces draw in final regular season match BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

As a part of Senior Night, Illinois soccer honored its two seniors, forward Megan Green and midfielder Noelle Leary, before what would become a highly emotional final game at home. Illinois (10-7-2, 5-6-2 Big Ten) mustered a scoreless draw against No. 11 Wisconsin (15-2-2, 9-2-2) in the final match of the regular season on Friday. “It was definitely bittersweet,” Green said. “I’ve been dreading this day pretty much for the last couple months, but it was an awesome day. My teammates, coaches and everyone did a great job of making us feel special.” Green and Leary were in the starting lineup together for the first time this season, and head coach Janet Rayfield thought they provided a spark for the rest of the Illini. “It was inspirational to this team tonight to play for those seniors who have invested four years of their lives into this program,” Rayfield said. “Certainly I think this team played for

them tonight.” On a night when wind speeds reached 37 miles per hour, the Illini needed all the inspiration they could get. Playing with the wind in the first half, Illinois built an 8-3 shot advantage over Wisconsin, but couldn’t capitalize on any of their chances. Forward Jannelle Flaws took all four of her shots in the first half before being moved to the midfield in the second half to help keep possession. She was held scoreless for the third consecutive match, her longest scoring drought since the beginning of the 2013 season. “Because of the wind, especially when we were going against it, we really wanted to keep possession and that was kind of what we needed to do,” Flaws said. “I had to take away from my usual getting-in-frombehind mentality and just come back and try and win the ball and keep it for us.” Even with extra help from Flaws, the Badgers outshot the Illini 13-3 in the second half, and Illinois couldn’t get anything going against the wind. However, sophomore

goalkeeper Claire Wheatley kept the Illini in the match by notching five saves in the second half and using her strong leg to keep the ball out of Wisconsin’s attacking zone. The game remained scoreless at the end of regulation, and the Badgers continued to put pressure on the Illini defense with 10 more shots in the two overtime frames. Wheatley had four more saves in the overtime periods, though, including a diving stop with seconds left in the final overtime to seal the draw. She ended the night with 10 saves. After the game, Rayfield praised her goalie’s ability to battle through the tough conditions. “Claire made a couple really good saves where the ball was kind of floating in and you didn’t know what the wind was going to do,” Rayfield said. “I think she did a great job tonight of adjusting to the wind and doing what she needed to do to keep the ball out of the net.” Illinois is locked in as the seventh seed in the Big Ten Tournament, while Wis-

consin remained the second seed after Michigan tied its final game on Sunday. That means Illinois and Wisconsin are set to face off again on Wednesday in Indiana in the first round of the tournament. After her strong perfor-

mance Friday, Wheatley said she thinks Illinois is primed for postseason play. “Obviously, these games are really important, and I think we’ve shown that we can compete, and I think we can play any team in the Big Ten,” Wheatley said. “The

Big Ten Tournament is a whole new game, and I’m looking forward to whomever we play.”

Illinois swimming bags its 1st 2 victories of season BY DANIEL COLLINS STAFF WRITER

Horton Pool became a pool for firsts on Saturday. Competing against instate opponents Southern Illinois and host Illinois State, the Illinois swimming and diving team notched its first two victories of the year, defeating the Redbirds, 197-102 and the Salukis, 207.591.5. Five pool records were set in the process. The first two records were broken during the 200 yard medley relay by the team of Alison Meng, Samantha Stratford, Sarah Sykstus and Gabrielle Bethke. Meng broke the record for the 50 yard backstroke during her leg of the relay. Meng also swam a sea-

son best 2:03.95 in the 200 back and was also victorious in the 100 butterfly, swimming the race in:56.79. “We executed really well on the goals we set,” said senior Meng. “We stayed focused knowing the atmosphere and pool we were coming into.” From that point on, the Illini rolled through the meet, winning 11 of 14 swimming events. “One of the things we wanted to do was get off to a quick start, set the tone early and get the momentum and never let it go,” head coach Sue Novitsky said. “I think we did a great job with that.” Finishing first in the 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 individ-

ual medley, Stratford continued an impressive start to her freshman campaign. Her efforts in the 100

butterfly and in the 200 IM set pool records. The double-dual meet was the first of Stratford’s collegiate career. “It’s a good stepping

stone for future meets,” Stratford said of her records. “It was a really good learning experience. I got to race in a new situation and I swam in more events than I usually do.” The fifth pool record was recorded by sophomore Gabbie Stecker in the 500 freestyle. Stecker also recorded a victory in the 200 butterfly. Adding to a day of firsts, freshmen Nelly Casas and Bethke picked up their first individual collegiate wins, with Casas winning the 1000 freestyle and Bethke emerging victorious the 50 free. “It’s good to see some freshmen getting in there and getting their hands to the wall first,”

Novitsky said. In the three swim events they were not victorious in, the Illini finished second. “It was a group effort today and that was great to see because it was one of our focuses going into the meet,” Novitsky said. The Illini will return to action on Nov. 8 when the head to Lawrence, Kansas, to take on the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks are on a three meet winning streak, recently defeating North Dakota and Texas Christian in a double-dual meet over the weekend.

Wrestle-offs determine lineup for upcoming season BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER

In its opening event of the season, Illinois wrestling established a tentative starting lineup and allowed the wrestlers to see their first action on the mats in a true competitive, match-like setting. The wrestle-offs were held Sunday afternoon in the wrestling room located on the top floor of Huff Hall. The starting spots in question, at 157, 174 and 197 pounds, were all claimed over a series of hard-fought

exhibition matches. Redshirt freshman Isaiah Martinez came out victorious in the 157 pound weight class, easily achieving the 15 point maximum in his match against fellow redshirt freshman Kyle Langenderfer. Redshirt sophomore Zac Brunson overcame a group of Illini at 174 pounds to remain the starter this season. Head coach Jim Heffernan noted that redshirt junior Jeff Koepke, who was a reserve at the weight in 2013-14, would see the most action at 197 this

season. Koepke did not participate in a match Sunday. Not all matches had such serious implications for the two competing. Some returning starters stepped onto the mat Sunday simply to better prepare for the upcoming season. Redshirt Junior Christopher Lopez beat redshirt freshman Brooks Black 3-1 in a heavyweight match Sunday. Two-time national champion and three-time All-American Jesse Delgado wrestled in a match for the first time since winning it all

in Oklahoma City last spring. Delgado looked poised for another title as he defeated redshirt junior Dominic Olivieri with little difficulty, 15-6. “I thought a couple guys were aggressive,” Heffernan said after the exhibition. “It’s a difficult thing when you’re competing against guys you train with everyday. It was good to get them out of the practice room and into a different situation.” Although Heffernan saw positives in his squad’s overall performance, he realized

they still need to improve to be successful. “I think we need to score more points,” Heffernan said. “We need to be more aggressive. We’re still waiting for someone to really step up and become the true leader of our team.” Illinois’ first meet with teams not wearing orange and blue will be the Illini Quad on Sunday at Huff Hall. There, the Illini will square off against Rider, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Northern Illinois. As the

Illini start their true season, Heffernan said he has the same mindset regarding his team as always. “They need to work on proving themselves to us and gaining our trust,” Heffernan said. “It’s a long time to March, but they better be excited. They should be excited.”

Illini swept in series against Lions BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

After starting the season out strong, the Illinois hockey team now fi nds itself in a slump. The Illini were swept for the fi rst time this season against Lindenwood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; losing 5-0 and 2-1 on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss marked the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest margin of defeat this season. The Illini fell behind midway through the fi rst period when Lindenwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peppi Sipila scored a shorthanded goal. The Lions fi nished the game with their fi rst shutout of the season. Head coach Nick Fabbrini was disappointed in the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort on Friday and believes that the team gave away four of the five goals scored in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we were pretty awful on Friday,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of energy and we made too many mistakes. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even come close to executing the game plan. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have any jump in our step at all.â&#x20AC;? On Friday, the Illini were missing goalie Joe Olen, who had started the last eight games. He was suspended for the leaving the bench against Ohio and was replaced by sophomore Zev Grumet-Morris. Fabbrini said that missing Olen was not an excuse for the team to play poorly on the road against a division opponent, and GrumetMorris made some big saves that gave the team enough chances to stay in the game. Senior forward Jacob Matysiak said the team looked at the fi nale of the series as a must-win game for the Illini. Matysiak believes the formula for the team to be successful is to

sweep at home and split on the road. T he te a m showe d improvement on Saturday despite ending the fi rst period down 2-0. Fabbrini said the team came out with more energy and the players were skating well, which is usually their strength. The Illini got their chances on the offensive side of the ice, but were not able to capitalize on their opportunities aside from a goal scored by left wing Eric Cruickshank in the second period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Saturday night, I thought that we out-chanced them even though they outshot us,â&#x20AC;? Matysiak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we had more chances, but we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize.â&#x20AC;? While the players were hard on themselves for their mistakes, Fabbrini blamed himself for the team getting outshot in both games over the weekend. Fabbrini said he will be looking to make line changes in hope of giving his team more opportunities to score. The team will have a week to prepare for another tough matchup against NCAA Division III opponent Aurora University. Matysiak said the team will need to maintain its focus throughout the week if it wants to prove it can play with an NCAA opponent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three losses in a row is not something that we want to happen again,â&#x20AC;? Matysiak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got to realize that the way we have been playing is not good enough. We just have to do better. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a sour taste in our mouth, and it will turn into something positive.â&#x20AC;?
