Directing Easter to explore Renaming the Institute of College of Medicine Genomic Biology
The Board of Trustees will vote on giving President Robert Easter a performance-based raise before he retires in June 2015. Previously, all top executives were given retention bonuses. However, the board decided to begin rewarding the president for his accomplishments last year. When he assumed the role of president in March 2012, following the resignation of Michael Hogan, Easter was earning a starting salary of $450,000, roughly $200,000 less than Hogan. However, following a 3.5 percent increase he received in September, Easter’s current salary amounts to $478,558.
The Board of Trustees has called on President Robert Easter to further explore the possibilities of the proposed College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. The proposed college will fuse engineering, computing, health sciences and medicine and will partner with Carle Health System. The Board of Trustees expects Easter to provide an overview on the current medical center and how it is insufficient. Additionally, they seek a summary of the challenges the proposed colleges will face and a personal recommendation on how to proceed.
The Board of Trustees will vote on renaming the Institute of Genomic Biology to honor Carl R. Woese, one of the founding members of the institute. The IGB’s main mission of advancing life science research at the University was built on the visions of scientific innovators such as Woese, who won numerous awards for his contributions to modern biology, including the National Medal of Science and the Crafoord Prize. The Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities committee recommend its approval. President Robert Easter and Chancellor Phyllis Wise have endorsed the proposal.
BUILDING CONTRACTS Chemistry Annex Building er Construction Company increase is required to The building will need a budget increase of $900,000 in order to proceed with renovations estimated for completion in July 2016. If approved, the next phase will be completed by Core Construction Services of Illinois Inc.

Topics of possible discussion Tuition
Trustees may discuss the effects of raising the cost of tuition for the 2016 fiscal year. University administration said there will be an estimated $35 million increase in the budget, partly due to an increase in tuition revenues. The official vote will take place in January.
Presidential Search Committee
The committee met with the Board of Trustees in a special meeting Tuesday to interview candidates. Co-chair Douglas Beck said the committee hopes to forward its recommendations to the BOT before Thanksgiving, but no date has been set for the vote.
Kilgore’s employment status A committee appointed to investigate the processes used to hire former African Studies professor James Kilgore, released a report on Aug. 26 recommending Kilgore’s re-appointment. Kilgore supporters held a press conference Monday urging the Board of Trustees to reconsider Kilgore’s employment status. The recommendation is not on the agenda.

Climate beliefs based on long-term trends Study: People’s beliefs in climate change misguided BY ERIC FRIES STAFF WRITER
What most people believe about climate change is heavily influenced by local weather fluctuations, according to a new study conducted by Tatyana Deryugina, a professor of finance in the College of Business. The study shows that abnormally high or low temperatures that last from a
month to a year have a significant effect on beliefs about the existence of global warming. However, abnormal temperatures that last one day to two weeks were not found to have any effect on beliefs. Deryugina is a member of the Center for Business and Public Policy, which works on issues such as the environment and health care. The data on climate change beliefs was collected from Gallup polls, which surveyed about 8,000 people from 2003-2010. The survey responses were compared with weather data for the respondents’ county of residence. Any person who bases his
or her belief on observed local changes will be misinformed about the true state of climate change, Deryugina said. “In some ways, the pessimistic way of interpreting these results is that we’re not going to be motivated to do much about climate change until we start seeing their effects,” she said. Atul Jain, a professor of climate and climate change in the department of atmospheric sciences, said the results show that people are not informed about climate change. Climate change is much more complicated than something people can observe happening in their

Window washers rescued from broken scaffold at One World Trade Center in New York City Two window-washers who had been dangling from the side of New York City’s One World Trade Center were rescued Wednesday afternoon after a scaffold broke

local weather, he said. “One could learn about the knowledge gap from this study,” Jain said. There is little disagreement among scientists concerning the existence of climate change, but public beliefs are far more varied. While the overwhelming majority of scientists think that climate change is happening, and humans are causing it, only 56.3 percent of the 7,847 people surveyed in the Gallup poll believe the effects of global warming have begun. Deryugina said the Gallup data indicated that people usually did not think their beliefs contradicted what
scientists thought. Respondents who thought climate change was happening said they thought scientists said the same, while people who thought climate change was a hoax were very likely to believe that scientists were unsure about the occurrence of global warming. Deryugina is currently working on another study that will explore how people’s beliefs change when they are informed about the consensus in the scientific community. She believes public belief in climate change is important for changes counteracting global warming to be made.
3A
“Any greenhouse gas law that’s going to make its way to Congress is going to be heavily scrutinized by the public, so public perception is very important,” she said. “You’re going to need some degree of public consensus to make progress.” Jain said it is important that changes be made as soon as possible to impede the effects of climate change, and that it is crucial for people to be informed and aware of what is happening. “We have to educate people about the impacts of climate change,” he said.

Police killings not well documented in US
ST. LOUIS — Federal, state and local agencies license police officers to kill, if necessary, but nobody counts all the bodies or tracks what, if any, consequences might follow. The numbers that do exist are hardly complete. The nation’s approximately 18,000 police agencies are expected to submit specified categories of crime statistics every year to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program. But inclusion of justifiable homicides is optional. A St. Louis Post-Dispatch analysis of the data from 2005-12 shows more than 1,100 departments — or roughly 6 percent of the country’s law enforcement agencies — have reported a killing by an officer or private citizen that is considered justifiable. Moreover, the federal data do not record how often police face criminal consequencRED HUBER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE es for using deadly force.

Police investigate the scene of a fatal, police officer-involved shooting in St. Louis as protesters gathered at the scene on Oct. 8. experiences.” He continued, “We’re all entitled to opinions but not (our own) facts. That’s important in policy and legislative decision-making, and right now there’s a lack of good data on a national scale about police use of force. And when we ultimately fix that situation, we may discover police use less force than we think they do, or more, and we may discover police are assaulted more often.” In 1994, Congress directed the attorney general to “acquire data about the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers” as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. The International Association of Police Chiefs was asked to gather the information. Its last report dates to 2001, the last year for which federal funding was available, said Gene Voegtlin, director of the organization’s partner engagement
and outreach. Voegtlin said the advent of better databases and technology might make it easier to collect the information now than it was more than a decade ago. Police chiefs have an intense interest in all use-of-force data, not just shootings, he said. The incomplete FBI statistics covering 2005-12 indicate that police killed 3,155 people in that period. No departments are included in the data from Florida, and only Chicago and Rockford are included from Illinois. Though the picture of killings by police is vague, the Justice Department keeps careful track of the officers killed in the line of duty and the demographics of the killers. There were 535 officers killed between 2003 and 12. Of 595 people charged in those deaths, about 51 percent were white, and 43 percent were black.
Suspect in slayings of Calif. family pleads not guilty BY SAMANTHA MASUNAGA TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The National Guard will be ready to assist law enforcement in Missouri if unrest erupts after a grand jury announces whether to indict a white police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man in
Ferguson, Gov. Jay Nixon announced Tuesday. “Violence will not be tolerated,” Nixon said at a news conference with officials from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Louis County police and St.
Louis Metropolitan police. The governor said the agencies would form a unified command to deal with protests. “Residents and businesses of this region will be protected,” Nixon said.
LOS ANGELES — The suspect in the slayings of a family of four from northern San Diego County was escorted quickly into a Victorville courtroom Wednesday, where he pleaded not guilty before a battery of TV and still cameras. Dressed in a light blue dress shirt and dark tie, Charles “Chase” Merritt, 57, sat quietly, handcuffed and shackled around his waist. The proceedings took less than 15 minutes and a court hearing was scheduled for Nov. 20. Merritt was arrested Friday on suspicion of killing former business associate Joseph McStay, along with his wife and two young sons. His attorney, Robert Ponce, told reporters outside the courtroom that “this case arose from tragedy” and expressed his “sincere condolences and sympathy for the McStay family.” Ponce waved a compact disc he said contained 900 pages of discovery in the case that he said he received from the San Bernardino County district attorney’s office, but added that he would not comment on the charges facing Merritt until he had more

young voters face, particularly college students, is that they often are registered back at home and have extra work to do to vote,” said Rudolph. “Either they have to arrange to get an absentee ballot to vote at home or travel home to vote in person, or go through the extra effort of switching their registration to where their college is located.” Millennials in particular may be less likely to jump through these hoops on Election Day because many are
disenchanted with the electoral process as a whole. If voters are cynical toward the government and their leaders, or feel as though their vote doesn’t matter, they will be less likely to cast a ballot, said Redfield. “People are dissatisfied with governmental institutions and political parties and public officials, and they’re very cynical and pessimistic about the possibility for things to change,” Redfield said. “People have to have some sense that the
process is legitimate, that the process works, and that good people can get in and make things work.” Politicians themselves also play a role in the low youth voter turnout rate, he said. Candidates tend to focus their campaign’s resources and outreach on the groups that they believe will turn out in greater numbers on Election Day. “It’s a dilemma for the parties and the candidates because you’re trying to get returns for your dollar,”

information. “I’m going to do everything I can for Mr. Merritt,” Ponce said. Joseph McStay, 40, and his wife, Summer, 43, disappeared Feb. 4, 2010, along with their sons Gianni, 4, and 3-year old Joseph Jr. Authorities fielded hundreds of tips from callers with purported sightings phoned in across the country. A check of the family’s computers at their Fallbrook home showed a search on necessary documents for traveling with children to Mexico as well as a possible interest in learning Spanish. But those close to the McStays insisted that the couple were wary of the drug wars in Mexico and that Summer McStay was excited about remodeling the house and planting a garden. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department eventually handed the case to the FBI and last November an off-road motorcyclist found bones in a desert patch near Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County. Dental records confirmed they belonged to the McStays. All four died from blunt force trauma. A week later, Merritt was
quoted in a British tabloid as saying that he had been the last person Joseph McStay phoned before he vanished and that the two, who had worked together in the water fountain business, had spent more than an hour together that day. Merritt added that he had taken a polygraph test and wanted to do anything he could to help find the killers. “He was my best friend and we told each other everything,” he said. The Riverside County resident has a long history of petty crime, violating court orders and drifting between blue-collar jobs. In 2001, he pleaded no contest to second-degree burglary and grand theft after he was accused of stealing from a San Gabriel Valley ironworks company. He was sentenced to 180 days in county jail and ordered to serve three years’ probation, but it took him nearly 10 years to complete his probation after he routinely failed to attend court-ordered programs or pay fines. At the time of the McStays’ disappearance, detectives believed that the family had left on their own accord and planned to return.
Redfield said. “So when you don’t reach out to young voters because you think your money is better spent elsewhere, it becomes this selffulfilling prophecy.” Despite being frequently overlooked by politicians, there are independent groups that recognize the importance of the youth vote and work to mobilize younger voters on Election Day. Rock the Vote, a non-profit, non-partisan organization, worked with its partners to target and register
nearly 700,000 millennial voters in the months leading up to the 2014 election. “Our message to young people is clear,” Ashley Spillane, president of Rock the Vote, said in a statement. “Millennials have the potential to wield tremendous political influence simply by turning out to the polls and making their voices heard on the issues they care about.”

EDI TO RIAL A call for higher voter turnout: Why you can and should vote
T
he importance of midterm elections and the many ways that make it easy for people to vote, whether they are in their hometown or not, leaves little excuse for there being low voter turnout. Students, and ultimately all registered voters, should take a more active role in voting in midterm elections and all elections. In the 2014 midterm elections, 3,846 absentee ballots had been sent out when The Daily Illini spoke with Gordy Hulten. Hulten said the numbers are progressively getting larger. While that number does not include the students who are registered and voted in Champaign County, the number of voters should still be much higher. It’s easy to think that whoever wins an election does not directly and immediately impact a single individual’s life, but when you peel back the layers of what our government officials do, it is clear that we are impacted by election outcomes. As our Editorial Board previously mentioned, the Illinois governors race directly impacts the University since one of the roles of the governor of Illinois is to appoint the nine members of the University’s Board of Trustees, six of whom will be up for reappointment during the future governor’s next term. When the trustees approve things such as the annual budget, the price of tuition and fees, and who the next president of the University of Illinois is, it’s something students should care about. Some people choose not to vote because they are not informed, but it is essential that people make an effort to educate themselves on candidates so they can make a well-informed choice. Sure, looking up information about candidates and learning about their missions and beliefs does not sound like the most exciting way to spend our already limited time, but one must realize how candidates proposed policies matter in our lives. Citizens do not have many excuses to not vote. This year in Champaign County, Brookens Administrative Center offered same-day voter registration for the first time, which was only effective for the 2014 midterm elections. The Graduate Employees’ Organization even coordinated rides from the University YMCA to Brookens Administrative Center from 9 a.m. to around 7 p.m. on Nov. 4. The Illini Hillel Cohen Center also transported students to vote starting at 11 a.m. In the end, voters can and should find a way to vote. Between absentee voting, same day registration and many resources with information on candidates’ stances, it is possible for voters to make informed choices. We need to increase voter turnout to take advantage of our opportunity to elect officials who can, and do, have great influences on our lives.
Voting lacks direct impact for students LUKE VEST Opinions columnist
W
hen I was a high school student taking Advanced Placement United States Government and Politics, I cringed at the shockingly low percentage of eligible voters who choose to vote in America, which hovered around 60 percent in 2012 when I was still in high school. Last week during midterm elections, that number dropped to less than half. I always thought that when the time came for me to vote, I would gladly and willingly do it to fulfill my duty as an active citizen. Now that I am eligible to vote, I have realized that I was wrong. I did vote last Tuesday, but only at the urging of my parents, and when filling out the ballot, I was embarrassed to find that I recognized the names of only a few candidates. I did not bother to educate myself on the election, because I did not care enough to do so. My feelings stem from the fact that I have never really felt the lasting impacts of change in policy. There are many reasons
people don’t take the voting process (which includes educating themselves and going to the polls) as seriously as they should. I’ve found that this is especially true for some college students. I believe the chief reason for this, which applies to many others and myself, is that we don’t always feel direct impacts from changes in government policy. Most college students go about their days studying and having fun. As I go through my day, I hear little to nothing about politics, so when an election comes up, I would have to do research on my own time to educate myself on political candidates and their views. For me, personally, this is time that could be better spent studying. If I study, I’ll get better grades. I’ve seen these results. If I vote (or if I don’t), my life doesn’t seem to immediately change. My life has never changed dramatically after an election, and it didn’t change this time either. I neglected to educate myself on this election, because I did not think it would affect my life in any way. Studying helps one perform well in a class and receive good grades, which are encour-
aged for applying for jobs and graduate school. Voting, to me, does not seem to provide these immediate, direct, positive changes. It does have the ability to instill long-term change, but I do not see or feel these changes either. To me, voters in the workforce seem more affected by change in governmental policy. They may feel the direct effect of taxes on income, so they may also feel more inclined to become informed about candidates and vote to create a better life for themselves, as opposed to many full-time college students who may not yet have to worry about maintaining a steady income. I think young people might tend to vote less because they are sheltered from the burdens of government because many are taken care of by their parents. To get people to vote, they must feel the need to vote. Why do students feel a need to study, for example? They do so to improve their imme-
diate lives. I believe the issue is that college students are aware of the importance of voting, but some, like myself, don’t see the negative ramifications of not doing so. They might not feel obliged to vote, because they do not lose any immediate rights or privileges by choosing to not vote. Maybe students might feel much more obliged to vote if all of their freedoms were immediately being taken away in a dictatorship, which, fortunately, is not the case. I do not believe that I will be paying close enough attention to political races for a few years, because outcomes of elections do not seem to impact my daily routines. For now, I have to worry about getting good grades and doing things that will have a seemingly closer impact on my life.
Voting, to me, does not seem to provide these immediate, direct, positive changes.

StudyRoom handy as additional resource YUNJO JEONG Opinions columnist
At
the beginning of the semester, I received an email from an unfamiliar website advertising that it could help me meet people and discuss course material with other students. I first thought it was a spam mail, but upon further examination, I decided to take a look at what the website, StudyRoom, had to give. What I saw on the website wasn’t extremely impressive. It looked simple, but I personally had not expected much; I thought the email had just been another useless advertisement. However, as the semester progressed, I saw that many students were using this website, and it was helping them after class. StudyRoom, a student connection website, proved to be quite more useful than I had initially thought. I don’t see any harm in students trying it out and getting an idea of how helpful the site can be. At a college as big as the University, it is rather helpful for students taking the same course to get together and
talk about the course material. Some lecture classes are so big the opportunity to ask questions is nearly nonexistent. With busy schedules and the occasional inability to attend professors’ office hours, it is quite easy to feel desperate and discouraged when there is an urgent question on a specific course that needs to be answered. StudyRoom takes care of all such problems. Students can set up profiles, select courses they are currently taking and instantly have access to an open discussion about their courses. There, they can ask any questions they may have. Every now and then, a question from a classmate pops up on my StudyRoom class pages. I currently have Environmental Economics, Introduction to Computing and a few other courses added to my personal StudyRoom account, and the aforementioned two courses have very active students posting questions and tips very frequently. For example, someone in the Environmental Economics course asked, “What is the Coase theorem?� The student had missed it in class, and other students on the site provided a better explanation than one
At a college as big as the University, it is rather helpful for students taking the same course to get together and talk.
could find via Google. These questions could have been asked to the professor either during class or during office hours, but such opportunities do not always arise. Some students are either just too shy to ask questions — me being one of them — or just too busy to go to office hours, maybe because they have class or other commitments. In such cases, it would be much more comfortable for the students to just post a question online and wait for someone to answer it. StudyRoom also offers a less formal environment than Compass2g, which doesn’t always have a place for students in every class to ask questions. I sometimes have problems with the courses that I take, and with the classes strangely intertwined so as to make office hours unavailable for me for the whole week, I have no way to ask questions except after class, which is still quite tight on my schedule. I have classes that closely follow each other until the end of the day. With such difficulties at hand, I find StudyRoom very handy. Other students might know something I do not, and I can also help others with things they might not know about. I see students sharing notes, asking questions, arranging meeting times, even discussing in-depth material that was not necessarily covered in class on the site. StudyRoom serves as a per-
fect occasional substitute for professors. It is available all the time, and many students are willing to share their knowledge on course materials. And such questions do not necessarily have to be about course material; students who have never met each other in courses with many people are also able to arrange studying times to get together and meet offline, which is certainly an efficient way to share knowledge. Of course, StudyRoom is not without its problems. Not very many people know about the system, and even people who do know StudyRoom do not always participate actively in discussions. The difference between those on the site and those who aren’t is who ignored the emails sent out by StudyRoom and those who tried it out. Even my friends do not know much about this website, which actually has been helping me a great deal. It has much potential, as courses gradually become more difficult over time. The accumulation of knowledge would be evident as more students join the network. It would help the general student body benefit from the database of knowledge, in addition to helping those new to the site. If more students join, the website would prove to be an even more useful resource than it already is.

Cosmo Coffee Hours celebrates diversity BY ROBIN DEAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Caffeine, fellowship and cultural enlightenment are all brewing at the University YMCA’s Cosmo Coffee Hours. Every Thursday night at 7 p.m., the YMCA hosts an evening to celebrate and explore a different culture that is represented on campus. This week’s event is in honor of Native American Heritage Month and will be hosted by the Native American Cultural House’s staff. This will be the first time the Native American House is involved in the event, according to Beverly Smith, assistant director of the Native American House. Smith said they hope to inform others about the Native American House and its role on campus, in addition to the Native American culture. Cosmo Coffee Hours began approximately five years ago as a heritage program from the Cosmo House. There, residents of the house would come together to prepare food and welcome guests. However, due to financial reasons the house closed and the proceeds from the sale were gifted to the YMCA in order to continue to welcome international students on campus. Ever since, the YMCA has been interested in keeping the event because it was the Cosmo House’s signature project. But because
the University YMCA is not identified as an international house, the staff seeks for Registered Student Organizations and cultural houses to prepare food and a program for each event. In return, the YMCA pays a token reimbursement for the food provided. “It’s a nice opportunity for cultural RSOs to have a nice event in a space that is really welcoming and that draws a pretty broad crowd of people,� said Ann Rasmus, program director at the YMCA. Each week a different RSO presents a program that can range from a dance, video, speaker, art, music, cultural activity or Powerpoint presentation. RSOs and cultural houses that are interested in participating should contact the YMCA as it is currently scheduling the spring events. Following the program, attendees are given the opportunity to get food and converse with one another as they please, Rasmus said. “It is a time for people to communicate over food and coffee. We are trying to give people a time to form conversations and meet new people from other cultures,� said Grace Householder, YMCA intern and senior in Education. Cosmo Coffee Hours are also geared to help international students practice speaking in English and offer them the opportuni-

Through demographics and general history, Smith said they wish for the community to gain more knowledge about the Native American people, culture and issues. In order to reach out to students, they will be showing the film “Changing is not Vanishing,� a documentary on Carlos Montezuma, the first Native American alumnus of the University. Cosmo Coffee Hours are free and welcome to anyone on and off campus. Householder said the YMCA is looking to advocate diversity and community in a comfortable setting. “We create an open space so that people are able to talk and aren’t afraid to sit down with someone random and introduce themselves,� Householder said.

Sameerah Ahmad, one of Graduate Employees’ Organization’s two union organizers, stands with promotional materials for the GEO’s first Craft Beer Night planned for Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Indi Go Artist Co-op and Gallery.
FROM 6A
RALLY from an event she helped plan during her three-year span as executive director for the Cincinnati Interfaith Worker Center. The Indi Go Artist Co-op and Gallery on University Avenue has donated their space for the Craft Beer Night and will also be featuring their second annual Pro Show, which begins Friday and continues until Nov. 25. The gallery will showcase local professional design projects. Guests can expect to see a variety of work from advertising to typography and web design. To learn more about the GEO’s goals, visit its website or check out its Facebook page. In exchange for donations, attendees can enjoy Union-made craft beers and wines from breweries like Lagunitas, a California-based company with a brewery in Chicago. Featured beers will include an India pale ale, Czech style pilsner, pale wheat ale and more. “Union people like beer,� Ahmad said with a laugh. “Often times, the labor movement has real struggles in front of us like maintaining our contracts, fighting for an increase in the minimum wage, fighting for better health care, and when you’re doing all that organizing and constantly fighting, it’s sometimes good to just also celebrate the labor movement.� L ag ui ntas Brew i ng Company has also donated T-shirts, magnets, coasters and other apparel to the GEO for the event. All donations to the GEO’s event will go to support the organization’s solidarity efforts and Antoline’s community organizing plans, according to Ahmad. Before working with the GEO, Ahmad also interned in 2008 with Chicago’s United Electrical Union during a
time of turmoil for laborers. Massive bank bailouts led to unemployment threats during this time. It was here that Ahmad said she had her first taste of social justice watching a group of workers stage a sit-in at a factory and win support. “It was a really exciting case where brown and black workers were coming together to take an aggressive action and actually lock themselves in the factory and say, ‘No, we’re going to protest this,’ � Ahmad said. The child of a workingclass Muslim family in northwest Indiana, she had always felt uncomfortable surrounded by a rural conservative majority. In college, she joined the United Students Against Sweatshops group at her undergraduate alma mater, Purdue University. “When the opportunity came to join a social justice organization, it seemed like a pretty natural fit,� Ahmad said. Her experience with the student social justice group supporting international apparel industry factory workers brought her one step closer to the labor movement. Social justice would stay at the forefront of her goals through her collegiate and post-graduate work. “That taught me how to organize, how to be an efficient activist and to see that we could actually change things,� Ahmad said. Today, she said she believes wholeheartedly in the power of solidarity to induce change. Solidarity among members of the GEO has become the backbone of the organization and the goal of their upcoming initiatives. Ahmad and Antoline said they both hope that those initiatives will include a full-fledged workers’ center in the future to support lowwage and immigrant workers. The center would strive to educate members about
their right to organize, work for overtime pay and stand up against discrimination, as well as other rights. “Being an agricultural community, we have a lot of immigrant workers who are notoriously abused,� Antoline said. “I’d like to see Champaign County first acknowledge its shortfalls and start realizing that while we do have a metropolitan county, we do have some serious problems that we need to address for the health of our residents here.� He explained the span of abuse covers not only employment issues, but also health care and housing that are often at risk when workers contend for their rights. Wage theft — including lack of overtime pay, below minimum wage earning and other wage-related problems — is an issue that Ahmad said the GEO would also like to address. She said she believes it is a nation-wide epidemic that a local workers’ center would go to support for the Champaign-Urbana community. “It’s sort of a mix between a union and a community nonprofit organization that is trying to support the rights, justice and empowerment of low-wage workers across the country,� Ahmad said. Antoline said he hopes Saturday’s event will be a step in the right direction for the GEO’s efforts to come together to discuss overarching issues, regardless of union affiliation. Once issues like those related to workers’ rights are identified, Antoline said he believes the community as a whole can start working together to eliminate them. “I want to see us do more than just exist,� Antoline said. “I want to see us thrive ... And that’s what we’ll do.�

RINGING IN
KINDNESS Be Kind Illinois spreads love through homemade bells BY REBECCA JACOBS
An STAFF WRITER
orange and blue bell dangles off a tree branch in Lincoln Hall’s center courtyard. Another hangs outside the Illini Union. These are just two of the 1,500 total bells hung in the Champaign-Urbana community in the past three years by Be Kind Illinois. Be Kind Illinois is the local chapter of Ben’s Bells. Based out of Arizona, Ben’s Bells aims “to inspire, educate and motivate people to realize the impact of intentional kindness� in a community through brightly painted bells. “Our mission is to promote goodness in our community by spreading intentional acts of kindness,� said Alicia Pence, one of the leaders of Be Kind Illinois. Jeannette Mare founded Ben’s Bells after her three-year-old son, Ben, passed away unexpectedly in 2002. Afterward, Mare and her family began making Ben’s Bells in backyard studios with friends as a form of therapy. They then distributed the bells throughout the community. “Since Ben’s death, it had been the kindness of others, strangers and friends, that had helped us begin to heal. We wanted to find a way to pass on that kindness and to help others in the process,� Mare wrote on the Ben’s Bells website. Since then, Ben’s Bells has grown. Michelle Bonati, a friend of Mare, helped with Ben’s Bells in Arizona and brought the organization’s message to Champaign-Urbana when she enrolled as a doctoral student in the department of special education at the University. “Inclusive service-learning was the focus of my research at the U of I, and Ben’s Bells provided a hands-on arts project that could be connected with the students’ curriculum,� Bonati said. Bonati is now at the University of Sydney, but she hopes to one day introduce Ben’s Bells in Sydney and in schools in New South Wales. “Cultivating intentional kindness and greater inclusivity are universal needs in all communities,� Bonati said. In Illinois, Bonati, along with the help of Dr. Stacy Dymond, Julie Pickens and Pence, created a University class associated with Ben’s Bells that would teach preservice teachers, or student teachers, in the department of education. In the class, students learn how to implement inclusive service learning in their future classrooms, as well as teach high school students about kindness. Pence taught the eight-week course, High School Service Learning, to 14 undergraduate and graduate students earlier this semester. For six of those weeks, University students went in teams to art classrooms at Central, Centennial and Rantoul Township high schools. The special education preservice teachers
worked with the high school students with and without disabilities to create the bells. In six weeks, the students formed the clay, painted the pieces and assembled the bells. “One of the really cool things about Ben’s Bells is that by the time the bell gets hung out in the community, ten people have had a role working on it,� said Pickens, a Ph.D. student in Education. Throughout the process, Pickens fired the pieces at the University ceramics department. Pickens said Tammie Rubin, assistant professor in the University ceramics department, was helpful in teaching Pickens how to fire the ceramics and assisting Be Kind Illinois with using University equipment. “Since I’ve taught at the University, I’ve sought opportunities for engagement between Ceramics and the community,� Rubin said. “I have witnessed firsthand the invaluable experience of working with ceramics and believe in providing those experiences for others.� In the final week, the students went out in the community to hang the bells on public property. “They decide where in their community they think needs the most kindness or where they think it would be best to hang the bells,� Pickens said. The bells encourage viewers to take them home on their tag: “Take it home, hang it in your yard and remember to spread kindness throughout our world.� “I hope it makes someone say, ‘There’s someone in my community that cares about me.’ And I hope it inspires community members to go out and pass on the spirit of intentional kindness,� Pence said. Community members can post on the Be Kind Illinois Facebook page and Ben’s Bells website about how they find the bells. One story in particular has stuck with Pickens and Pence. Chris and Elizabeth, a couple from the Champaign-Urbana community, planted a tree in Hessel Park after they unexpectedly lost their baby during a pregnancy in August 2011. One day, they found a Ben’s Bell dangling from a branch in that tree, and the couple posted the story on the site. The last batch of bells was distributed just before University Homecoming, but Pickens said there are still bells waiting to be found.

Women’s basketball opens with IPFW BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s basketball team has plenty of promising new pieces, and it’s time for them to come together Friday afternoon at the State Farm Center when Illinois hosts IPFW in the season opener. Illinois is coming off an impressive 70-point blowout over Millikin in the Illini’s only exhibition game. The team’s new additions played well, as freshman Chatrice White posted a double-double in just 16 minutes, and junior transfer Kyley Simmons led all scorers with 17 points. However, the Illini will be facing much tougher competition in the Mastodons, a team that knocked off Michigan State and almost upset Indiana last season. One returning player in particular, senior point guard Haley Seibert, was the first person head coach Matt Bollant mentioned when asked about playing IPFW. “When teams have good point guards, they’re always dangerous,� Bollant said. “A lot of times with us, we can

Counting down the days Seniors begin to feel football careers coming to a close in their final weeks BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Riding up to Memorial Stadium, Tim Beckman and Austin Teitsma share a conversation. It’s a talk the coach has had with seniors multiple times in the past few weeks. Time is winding down for them, and Beckman knows what it means to lose the
opportunity to play football. “We’ve got 21 days left to be together,� Beckman said. “We can add days to that if we win football games.� With three games remaining and two more wins needed to become bowl eligible, Beckman and his seniors are trying to prolong those conversations. Even if it means just
one more game. “I bring it up every now and then just so they realize sometimes football practice is not quite as tough when you think about how blessed you are to have the opportunity to play in the Big Ten and play college football,� Beckman said. And Beckman knows how blessed an opportunity it is
to play college ball. The former linebacker suffered a neck injury during his sophomore year at the University of Findlay that forced him from the game for good. Luckily, there was a backup plan: Beckman was offered a position as a student assistant on his team, leading him on the path to coaching. “It’s sad,� were the fi rst two words Teitsma said when thinking about his talk with Beckman. Then there was a pause before the senior defensive tack-
le continued. And if there’s anything Teitsma’s upbeat personality rarely allows, it’s a lull in conversation. The senior said it has been difficult to talk about the year coming to an end. “It’s been my life for five years,� Teitsma said. “This is all I’ve known.� There’s seven seniors (four starters) leaving the defense after this season, including Teitsma.

Illini football hopes bye week will benefit team against Iowa BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER
Josh Ferguson wasn’t on the field last Saturday. Instead, he was at his apartment. But he did have his mind on a game and his own gameplan. Along with teammates Donovonn Young and Chris Boles, he watched Minnesota defeat Iowa and took away that the Hawkeyes are a “strong and simple” team. He watched Minnesota, who Illinois beat, come out and beat an Iowa team that Illinois will play this weekend. “Minnesota played hard,” Ferguson said. “They played smart. When they had chances, they made plays. We have to do those things.” After its second bye week, Illinois (4-5, 1-4 Big Ten) is looking for that same edge that helped them stun nowNo. 25 ranked Minnesota. This week, however, it’s the Hawkeyes’ (6-3, 3-2) turn
to come to Memorial Stadium after the Illini’s week off. The two teams will meet for the 70th time this Saturday but haven’t played each other since 2008. Illinois is coming off only its fifth ever season with more than one bye week. Last season, Illinois, in a win over Miami (Ohio), snapped a 10-game post-bye week losing streak that started in 2002. The Illini added another win to that total against Minnesota and are hoping to keep the new streak alive with a victory over the Hawkeyes. On Saturday, Illinois will once again have Wes Lunt back after a fractured fibula sidelined the starting quarterback for four of the last five games. Teammates and coaches are excited to have him playing Saturday. “When he’s in the game, it gives us another tempo, a different style of offense that we’re able to run... It’s faster,

more upbeat,” wide receiver Geronimo Allison said. “He sees stuff before we see it, and he’s able to check to different stuff.” For the offensive coaches, the bye week couldn’t have come at a better time because it gave Lunt a chance to recover even more. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit noticed the effect Minnesota’s bye week had on its win over Iowa. “I know Coach (Jerry) Kill pretty well, and you know he is going to get the kids (ready),” Cubit said. “I’m telling you, bye weeks are huge at this time of the year. You’re just so beat up. It gives you an opportunity to just sit back with the quality control, getting your kids healthy. You’re refreshed.” Cubit’s hoping to see results from Lunt after getting those extra weeks to heal without worrying about a game. But the biggest worry for

WES LUNT
After missing four of the last five games due to a fractured fibula, Illinois’ starting quarterback Wes Lunt will be back in action Saturday against Iowa. Lunt said that getting his timing down will be the biggest struggle he faces in preparation for Saturday and that the nerves will go away after that first snap. Lunt led Illinois to three fourth-quarter comebacks prior to his injury, and will need plenty of magic as the Illini enter their season’s “fourth quarter.” Of note: While Lunt was starting, Illinois led the Big Ten in passing. Lunt recorded 1,569 of the team’s 1,736 passing yards when he played. He has 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions, while registering a 66.5 completion percentage.

Illinois football plays three more games this season, all in the state of Illinois. After two consecutive home games, the Illini travel to Evanston to take on Northwestern. This weekend they are facing off against the Iowa Hawkeyes who — like the Illini — got shellacked in their last game, losing to Minnesota 51-14. This game is important if Illinois wants any shot at postseason play.

The return of quarterback Wes Lunt is good news for the Illini, who have a good chance at a win against Iowa.
Plenty riding on Lunt in his return SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor
T
here’s a lot riding on the arm and leg of Wes Lunt. The quarterback will return for Illinois this week and, unless injuries strike again, he will start the Illini’s final three games. Two wins. That’s what Illinois needs in three games to reach a bowl. But there is so much more riding on it. The future of his coaches, for one. Being a 22-yearold myself, I wouldn’t want the future of my coaches depending on my performance. If Lunt and his recently healed broken leg give Illinois the best chance to win, then you’ve got to play him. The defense, on the other hand, is much more broken than Lunt’s fibula was. Enter the Iowa Hawkeyes. Wait, who? Iowa, you say, I haven’t heard of them. Oh, wait, maybe I have. The Hawkeyes ... hmm ... yes, I do seem to remember them. They’re not still in the Big Ten are they? Iowa and Illinois haven’t faced each other in a football game since Nov. 1, 2008. We can thank conference realignment for that. Let’s put this little piece of scheduling insanity into perspective. Every team in the 32-team NFL has played every other team in the NFL since then. Many of them have played twice. If you were a freshman when Iowa came to Memorial Stadium in 2008, you are either a grad student, a seventh-year undergrad, or you are long gone. Nathan Scheelhaase started at quarterback for Illinois for four years and redshirted a year before that — but never played Iowa. The last time the teams
Illinois doesn’t get a break from strong running backs this season. This weekend, Illinois goes up against senior running back Mark Weisman. Weisman has 14 touchdowns on the season, putting him behind only Melvin Gordon and Ameer Abdullah for most in the Big Ten. Illinois’ defense has been generous to opposing running backs this season, so expect a big game from Weisman.
played, my sister was a freshman at Iowa. Now I am a senior at Illinois. Go figure. It’s another travesty of the Legends and Leaders divisions. Until this year, these neighboring state schools were in separate divisions Enough already, you say. I don’t care who this team is. I just want to know if Illinois can beat it. This one’s a toss up. Iowa lost to Minnesota and beat Purdue. Illinois lost to Purdue and beat Minnesota. Illinois appears to have the upper hand on the offensive end, Iowa on the defensive end. If Lunt is 100 percent healthy, the Illini might be able to outmatch the Hawkeyes. But Lunt hasn’t been 100 percent healthy since sometime in late September. With Ted Karras out, the offensive line is something of a patchwork job this week and that should be Illinois’ real concern. But this Iowa team is struggling, too. It surrendered 51 points to Minnesota in its last game. The Hawkeyes’ offense plays best when they have success on the ground and the Illini defense hasn’t been successful stopping the run. It’s Dad’s weekend in Champaign, but it will be cold. For any Illinois fans who can’t remember that 2008 game, Iowa fans travel well. There will be plenty of gold and black around town this weekend. Illinois can win this game, but as we’ve learned all year long, it’s hard to know what to expect when the Illini take the field against a beatable opponent.

ILLINOIS OFFENSIVE LINE VS. IOWA DEFENSIVE LINE Wes Lunt has returned from injury, which is great news for the Illini. That being said, Illinois can’t afford another injury to its star quarterback. Lunt has shown to be somewhat of an injury-prone player throughout his career, and it doesn’t help that Illinois’ offensive line hasn’t been great this season. The O-line needs to protect its sophomore quarterback if it wants any chance at going to a bowl game this year. The good news for the Illini is that Iowa gave up 55 points to Minnesota last week, so the Hawkeyes’ defense may be showing some weaknesses.

TIM BECKMAN VS. THE HOT SEAT It seems likely the next three games will determine a lot about Tim Beckman’s future in Champaign. He already collected an impressive win against Minnesota during Homecoming weekend, but lost to a poor Purdue team as well. Beating Minnesota would seem to suggest any of the next three games are winnable. Losing to Purdue, however, muddies the water, and makes the next three games more difficult to predict. If Beckman can come away with two more wins this season, it would be awfully hard not to see a clear improvement, and he would keep his job as a result.

extra bonus for the seniors still fighting to be bowl eligible in mid-November. “I think they understand it’s coming to a close,” Banks said. “Obviously having a chance to still play for something is great, but to be quite honest with you, because of these kids’ high character, even if it wasn’t, I think they would still be practicing extremely hard, just like they have been. So it’s only icing on the cake that we’ve got a chance to fi nish this thing the right way.” Despite needing two wins in their next three games to
stay alive, Beckman said he hasn’t noticed extra pressure on the seniors. “They’ve got an opportunity,” Beckman said. “We want to continue to play together, and I want to be a part of these seniors as long as I can.” For Teitsma, who experienced bowl seasons in his fi rst two years at Illinois, the prospect of reaching a bowl game holds something more valuable than just a reward for his own hard work. “It means we’re making strides as a program,” Teitsma said. “It means I’m leaving a legacy for the younger guys, because I want them to be successful, because they mean so
much to me.” And although Beckman’s ride with players like Teitsma is coming to an end, it’s clear the Illini have allowed the coach’s positive gratefulness to soak into their own outlook: There’s still time to enjoy it while it lasts. “It is hard going forward, but I’m also excited because we have three more games,” Teitsma said. “I do have three more chances to go out there with my brothers and play the game, and hopefully get another fourth one.”

Volleyball signs 2 top-10 2015 recruits BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
Illinois volleyball reached out of state to ink one of the best recruiting classes in the country. The Illini announced Wednesday that three players, all from outside the state of Illinois, signed letters of intent for the 2015 class, including two top-10 players according to PrepVolleyball.com. Illinois signed setter Jordyn Poulter, middle blocker Ali Bastianelli and outside hitter Beth Prince. Poulter and Bastianelli were both named Under Armour First Team AllAmericans, which was announced on Nov. 5, while Prince was named to the second team. “I feel fortunate that I coach volleyball and not basketball because, if we’re looking at these recruits, you’re looking at some oneand-done kids with their rankings,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. Poulter, the No. 3 player in the country and ranked as the nation’s best setter, is from Aurora, Colorado. She has a wealth of international experience, playing at the 2013 FIVB U18 World Championships in Thailand — she was given the Best Setter award for the tournament. “She’s one of the most accomplished setters that has been out in the past 15 or 20 years,” Hambly said. “She’s elite.” Bastianelli set a Marysville High School (Michigan) record with 34 kills on Tuesday night in the team’s regional semifinal match. Bastianelli is the No. 10 player in the class and averaged 5.2 kills per set and 1.5 blocks per set in her senior season. Hambly said Bastianelli was a raw prospect

MBBALL Indiana. Coleman-Lands is the highest-ranked of Illinois’ recruits according to the ESPN 100, where he is No. 34 in the country. Illinois will bring in two freshmen shooting guards next season in ColemanLands and Jordan. Jordan is a four-star recruit from Plainfield, Illinois, and like Coleman-Lands, Jordan is 6-foot-4. The signing of small forward Williams continued the Illini’s tie to Simeon Career Academy. Williams will become the third player on the roster from Simeon, along with Jaylon Tate and Kendrick Nunn. Williams is 6-foot-7 native of Chicago and is the No. 50 player in the ESPN 100. “When looking at what they bring to the court, I don’t know if there’s a class in the country with a better set of shooters than Jalen and Aaron,” Groce said in a press release. “They are lights-out from the perimeter. And D.J. is one of the most skilled and versatile players in the entire 2015 class. He can play practically anywhere on the floor.” In addition to the three

WBBALL usually speed teams up, and if they have a good point guard, it makes it a lot harder for us. We’ll throw some different people at her and whoever’s guarding her better knows where she’s at because she doesn’t need much room to knock down threes.” Seibert shot .452 from three-point range and made the All-Summit League First Team last season, so the Illini focused heavily on defensive rotations on the wing in practice this week. Bollant has been pleased with the offensive execution thus far, but admitted the defense still has a lot to work on. “We really feel like we have a long way to go defensively,” Bollant said. “Just talking and getting better on the ball and away from the ball as well. I feel like we’re ahead offensively, but that’s to be expected because we spent the whole summer and fall on the offense.” With the coaches preaching communication on defense, Illinois had a very loud practice at the Ubben Basketball Complex on Wednesday, and sophomore forward Jacqui Grant is already seeing improvements.
early in her high school career, but has developed into a top-10 player. “She’s competitive in karate, which I think defines how she plays,” Hambly said. “She plays with that kind of mentality where she wants to go attack people. I like her mentality and her approach.” Prince is described as a “God-given point-scorer” from Avon, Indiana, although she has dealt with injury issues over the course of her high school career. Prince dealt with stress fractures in her foot and ankle injuries, which kept her off the court for much of her junior season. She was named PrepVolleyball.com and ESPN.com’s Freshman of the Year in her freshman year, and Hambly is confident she will get back to that form. “If she wasn’t injured, (I) think she would have been ranked higher,” Hambly said. “She’s through all that now and she should be fine now.” Poulter and Bastianelli are the first top-10 prospects to sign with the Illini since Liz McMahon inked her commitment as the No. 3 player in the 2011 class. Hambly has never signed a class with two top-10 prospects and has only had three total: McMahon, Anna Dorn in 2010 and Colleen Ward, who transferred from Florida in 2008. The team rankings haven’t been announced yet, but Hambly anticipates this class will be ranked similarly to the 2011 class, which was No. 3 nationally. “I would say this should be at least a top-three class,” Hambly said.

Paul, who is the younger brother of former Illini guard Brandon Paul, was on Illinois’ roster last season but sat out the year after transferring from Western Michigan. Paul was arrested in the spring and transferred to Lamar State College in Texas for a season. “Regarding Darius, we have remained in communication with him and his family since he left last spring,” Groce said. “We are proud of the progress he has made both on and off the court. We look forward to his continued improvement and a successful return to our program.” While Illinois wasn’t able to get commitments from any of the higher-profile recruits on its radar — like Jalen Brunson, Elijah Thomas or Jawun Evans — head coach John Groce put together a class that includes three four-star incoming freshman, according to ESPN, and a talented transfer in Paul, who garnered interest from other programs before deciding to return to Illinois.

Bollant said he expects Illinois to have the size advantage on any given night this season. “Certainly Chatrice and Jacqui are really capable,” Bollant said. “They’re both really good offensively, and that’s going to be a change from what we had last year. Their length makes the difference.” Illinois will rely on a few different freshman to be successful this year, so Bollant said he noticed there were some nerves in the exhibition against Milikin and expects the same in the season opener. Along with its defense, Illinois’ confidence should improve as the season progresses. Building that confidence starts on Friday.

Illinois' Emily Fung dives from the 3 meter board during the Orange and Blue Exhibition meet on Oct. 3. The diving team, which has three first-place finishes on the year, has provided the swimmers extra energy when they need it the most.
Swimming expecting close meet at Notre Dame BY DANIEL COLLINS STAFF WRITER
At this point in the season, the Illinois swimming and diving team relies on confidence and momentum to push its tired legs. At 3-2, the Illini head into South Bend, Indiana, Friday to face Notre Dame after a slim loss to Kansas last Saturday. The meet looks to be a test of stamina for Illinois. Head coach Sue Novitsky said the past few weeks at practice have been the toughest thus far. For senior Alison Meng, who is predicting a close meet against the Irish, blocking out the pain is vital for the team during this weekend’s meet. “Practice has been get-
ting a lot harder,” Meng said. “Learning how to swim with that pain in a close meet is going to be the No. 1 priority.” Because of this, Novitsky reminds the squad of its latest achievements in order to keep its psyches positive enough to block out any fatigue. If that does not work, the next form of combat is simple. You swim through the pain. “You remind them that they’re tired right now, but they’re supposed to be tired,” Novitsky said. “They have to pretty much deal with it.” With three first-place finishes on the year, the diving squad has remained confident throughout the
season, while providing the swimmers with an extra boost of momentum when needed most. “They can really give us that momentum swing at a very critical point of the meet where events fall,” Novitsky said of the divers. “It’s nice that they are putting up some pretty consistent performances.” At times, the swimmers do not have the opportunity to watch the diving action. However, this past weekend, the team witnessed the action on the boards since the diving took place during the team’s swim breaks. Even though the team doesn’t need to observe the diving action in order to get a morale boost, Meng said it was nice to see the action
for a change. “When diving does awesome, it’s just another thing that gets us going,” Meng said. “After those two wins (against Kansas), we were pumped and wanted to continue our success the same way the divers were.” Last weekend, the team lost by three-hundredths of a second. With this meet predicted to be tight, the Illini are going to need to use every bit of energy they have left in the reserve tank in order to have orange and blue be the first colors that touch the wall and claim victory.

Bollant signs 3 recruits for 2015 season BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
Entering only his third season at the helm of the women’s basketball program, head coach Matt Bollant has proved he can recruit at a high level. That trend was continued on Wednesday, when three recruits signed their national letters of intent to join the Illini program next season. “From top to bottom they’re all athletic, they all have toughness and they’re all really driven players, which will turn into really

ROUX victories to begin the season. Here are three things I’m looking to see out of the Illini this weekend, plus some added thoughts on National Signing Day:
Can Kendrick Nunn get acclimated? The sophomore shooting guard is scheduled to return to live action Friday after sitting out the public scrimmage and first exhibition game due to a recurring knee injury. The 2013-14 All-Big Ten Freshman Team honoree served as a spark for a struggling Illini offense in the second half of last year but will not be relied on as heavily this season on the offensive end with other scoring options in the fold. Expect some rust in the first few games from Nunn as he gets his legs under him, and expect fellow shooting guard Aaron Cosby to remain in the starting lineup this weekend.

VOLLEYBALL players recorded four or more kills. Junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks finished with 14 kills and added six digs for the Illini. The first set was a back and forth affair featuring nine tie scores and five lead changes. After Ohio State took a 14-13 lead, Illinois mounted a 4-0 run to make the score 17-14. The Illini continued to build momentum and ended the set on a 7-3 run. Ohio State played sloppy
good college basketball players,” Bollant said. In only his third recruiting class with Illinois, Bollant expanded his recruiting pipelines across the Midwest, and out of the country, too. Bollant lured in two guards in Jaelyne Kirkpatrick and Cierra Rice. Kirkpatrick is rated as the second-best player in Canada from the 2015 class, and played for the U17 Canadian national team. Rice is ranked as the best player coming out of Michigan and the No. 66 player in
the nation. Bollant describes Rice as one of the best defensive guards he and the staff saw while recruiting. The third signee is 6-foot-1 forward, Alex Wittinger, the third-highest ranked player out of Minnesota. Wittinger may be the most athletic commit. She was recruited to play Division I college volleyball and also has qualified for the state track and field championships during her high school career. Wednesday once again showed Bollant’s ability to recruit high-level players
from across the country and why his program is seen to be on the rise. Bringing in such a highly rated class directly following a 9-21 season can’t be easy, but it further shows Bollant’s recruiting ability. “We feel really good about all three of them, think they’re going to be impact players and have a chance to play for us as freshman and continue to raise this program,” Bollant said.
It will be intriguing to see if Nunn commands a large role on this year’s squad. I envision this season going one of two ways for Kendrick: Either he further establishes himself as an electrifying offensive player the Illini can count on, while consistently playing lockdown defense. Or, the knee injury nags Nunn and he never carves out a true niche on a roster heavy with guards, and ends up taking more of a backseat to Cosby and Rayvonte Rice. I’d bet on the former scenario.

class. Aaron Jordan, DJ Williams and Jalen Coleman-Lands will join the Illini next year as freshmen, and I was excited to learn Darius Paul is being given another chance under Groce as well. Paul is a good kid, and by all accounts, he’s put the alcohol and drug problems that plagued his sit-out year behind him. These four guys truly want to be Illini, and nearmisses on highly ranked talent in Groce’s tenure has tended to overshadow how solid his latest class is. Several recruiting services rank Groce’s 2015 class near the top 10 in the country, and second in the Big Ten. No, he wasn’t able to land a true point guard in 2015 (yet), but Groce has stockpiled talented scorers, bolstering the Illini offense for the foreseeable future.
Illini physicality Georgia Southern and Coppin State list seven and six seniors on their respective rosters. Both games will likely be physical, as the Illini will get a tuneup for the rough style of Big Ten play against these less talented teams. With both clubs bringing some muscle to State Farm Center, we’ll get to see if the Illini’s impressive benchpress totals translate to early on, recording five service errors and nine attack errors in the first set. The second set was closely contested early on. Unlike the first set, in which the Illini pulled away from the Buckeyes, Ohio State built a lead of its own. While the Illini cut the lead to 23-16, the Buckeyes were pulled away and took the second set. “They’re a very emotional and hot team,” McMahon said. “They do get a lot of runs on teams. It was a lot of swinging of momentum.” Unlike each of the first
Will the Illini take care of weaker opponents like they should? Last week, I wrote how I’d like to see Illinois put a heavier foot on the throats of weaker opponents this season than they have the past two years. Even Division II Quincy hung around with the Illini longer than expected last Friday, and Groce was less than pleased with his team’s intensity. If the Illini can truly cruise in their first four home games, it should give them confidence heading into the Las Vegas Invitational over Thanksgiving.
Signing Day thoughts Wednesday was National Signing Day, as Groce has officially added four members to his 2015 recruiting two sets, Illinois came out on fire early in the third — building a 6-0 lead and expanding it to 22-15. The Buckeyes battled back and cut the lead to 24-20, but Birks ended the set with a controversial kill that seemed to be called in favor of Ohio State initially, before being awarded to Illinois. The fourth set belonged to Ohio State from start to finish. Ohio State jumped out in front 7-3 and expanded it to lead 16-11. Illinois scored three unanswered points to bring the score to 16-14 but couldn’t pull any

Illini hockey hopes for comeback BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
Head coach Nick Fabbrini hopes his team finally learned its lesson. The Illinois hockey team will return to ACHA play this weekend at the Illinois Ice Arena with a series against Iowa State. Illinois (10-5-0-0) currently sits in second to last place in the CSCHL, with Iowa State (9-6-2-1) rounding out the bottom. The Illini have struggled recently with putting in a full effort in both games of a series, including last Saturday’s 7-4 loss to NCAA Division III Aurora University. Illinois started the weekend strong with a 4-2 win against the Spartans on Friday, but fell behind 5-0 in the series finale and couldn’t make up the deficit. “It’s unfortunate that we are still kind of learning that same lesson,” Fabbrini said. “We are sick as a group of only playing parts of games or parts of weekends.

He recognizes that some of the team’s poor decision making is because of the team’s youth, and he expects the maturity to improve as the season goes on. However, if the team continues to have issues with discipline, he is willing to cut ice time for players that commit a lot of needless penalties. Mcging agreed that the team needs to be smarter about taking penalties, but he also believes that the emotion the players display is a sign that they care about the game. He points to the team’s aggression on offense as one of the stronger aspects of its game, and he doesn’t want to see the Illini get bullied by opposing teams. “These guys are trying to win, and guys are getting upset when it’s not going our way,” Mcging said. “It’s not ideal when guys are getting

Cross-country races to Regionals Senior Illini hope for strong finish to careers BY MATT GERTSMEIR STAFF WRITER

Women’s cross country shifts focus to strong collective effort BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s cross-country team is preparing for its next big meet on Friday, the Midwest Regionals, and has some things to prove to itself and to others. The top-two teams and top-four individual finishers at the meet will receive automatic bids to the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Nov. 22, and head coach Scott Jones believes it will be a difficult task. “As competitors, we want to be open to the possibility of making something good happen,” Jones said. “But we are probably a year away from being in a position to realistically be discussing qualifying for nationals.” For Jones, winning is not at all what he is concerned about. Instead, Jones is hoping his team focuses on different elements of the race it can control. His overall goal is for his team to run its first com-
plete race of the year. “Each individual on the team has had solid performances this season, but apart from the meet at Illinois State on September 12, we haven’t had everyone race well on the same day,” Jones said. With two weeks separating races, sophomore Hanna Winter said she believes her team is focused more on training in hopes of finishing in the top four of the regional. The Illini finished eighth at the Midwest Regional last season, a result that Jones hopes to improve on this season. “Our extrinsic goal is to surpass that projection,” Jones said. “It will take a great collective effort. But coming from the Big Ten meet, we made placing in the top four our ambitious goal.” The meet is hosted by Bradley’s Newman Golf Course in Peoria, Illinois. It will be the sixth time the regional championship will be held there. The Illini are unlike other teams participating though, as they have won a race on the course: the Bradley Invite, in October. Junior Alyssa Schneider said she is ready for the challenge, and added that, by coming togeth-
er as a team, the Illini can make this meet a breakout performance. Junior Colette Falsey said she’s excited and ready for another opportunity to show how much hard work the team has put in. “We are ready to put it all together and have a great team race,” Falsey said. The teams that the Illini beat in the Bradley Invite included South Dakota, Illinois State, Marquette and Saint Louis. Those four will be competing against Illinois on Friday. Other notable teams running this weekend include No. 5 Iowa State and No. 20 Minnesota. Coming off a strong performance at Big Tens, Winter said she feels she has the confidence to give another great performance come Friday. “(It) gave me confidence in myself and showed me how my training over the past couple months has paid off and prepared me for this point in the season,” Winter said. “I hope this performance carries over into Regionals and allows me to have another great race.”

Brendan McDonnell ran for three years on Illinois’ club cross-country team before impressing coaches and earning a spot on the varsity team. Bryce Basting used to wear an Eastern Illinois uniform before transferring and running in an orange and blue one. Jannis Toepfer studied in the Netherlands before joining the Illini at the age of 22. Though they took different, unorthodox paths to the Illinois cross-country team, one thing remains the same for all three seniors. This Friday at the NCAA Regionals in Peoria, Illinois, could be their last race as Illini. In order to secure a spot at NCAA Nationals, a team must place in the top-two of the Regional meet. The top-four individuals who are not members of one of the top-two teams advance to Nationals as well, but individual results are not the focus for the Illini this Friday. “The important part for me is to get the team there,” Toepfer said. “I’ve been there twice as an individual and it’s much more fun when you have people around than (being) just by yourself.” At last year’s Regionals, Toepfer took third place, while Illinois finished seventh out of 29 teams. Oklahoma State, who has won eight of the last 10 Midwest Regionals, took first last season. Ranked fourth in the nation, it is expected to do the same this year. “Oklahoma State is going to get first every single time, I don’t think anyone would question that,” McDonnell said. “They’re pretty much a lock for first, so that second spot is open. For us to get second, we need to run as good as we did at Big Tens, probably a little better.” Illinois came in sixth
place as a team at Big Tens. Not all Big Ten teams compete in the same Regional. Minnesota and Iowa took seventh and eight at Big Tens, respectively. Both will compete against Illinois on Friday. Of the 33 teams racing in the region this year, Illinois believes it is capable of a top-two finish. “The one thing we constantly talk about is not focusing on the teams we’re racing against,” head coach Jake Stewart said. “I think there are five or six teams that are very interchangeable and we’re amongst those teams.” Accompanying McDonnell, Basting and Toepfer will be juniors Ian Barnett, Liam Markham and Paul Zeman, sophomore Will Brewster and freshman Garrett Lee. Everyone except Lee has raced at Regionals before, but Lee’s inexperience should not be an issue. Illinois has had a twoweek break since Big Tens. The team has utilized its time off by preparing for the 10K race at Regionals. The Illini have run 8K races for a majority of the season. “The real difference is just being patient throughout the race,” Basting said. “Just hanging in the back, staying patient and then over the last 2K, utilize the fitness you’ve been working all year to have.” Whether or not Illinois achieves its goal of a toptwo finish, Stewart wants to see these seniors give it their all. “I want them to be able to walk away from the weekend knowing that their last race in uniform for us was what they wanted,” Stewart said. “I don’t want them to regret anything, enjoy it, enjoy being with the team, enjoy the atmosphere, you only get to do this for a few years and then you’re done so enjoy this and don’t take it for granted.”

Coming off a dominating performance at its home opener Sunday, the Illinois wrestling team will travel to California this weekend to test its talent against a gang of West Coast opponents. Although the Illini will be more than 2,000 miles from Huff Hall on a mere fourday turnaround from their last action on the mats, some Illinois wrestling members may be more motivated than ever before. On Friday, the Illini will face Appalachian State and Cal State-Bakersfield in Gilroy, California: the hometown of three-time AllAmerican Jesse Delgado. The state of California has long awaited to see its champion return to The Golden State. Illinois has not traveled to California during Delgado’s career. Unfortunately, Gilroy natives still will not see their favorite son in action. Delgado will not wrestle this weekend due to precautionary measures advised by the team doctor regarding an undisclosed injury; however, Delgado still expressed his desire for his teammates to perform at a championship-caliber level in front of a hometown crowd. “It’ll feel good to be back at home,” Delgado said. “These guys know what they need to do in this quick turnaround, and I’ll be there to cheer them on.” From Gilroy, the team journeys to Lemoore, California, to take on Grand Canyon University. The nostalgic feelings don’t end when the team arrives at its destination Saturday, the feelings only originate from a different Illini member: redshirt freshman Isiah Martinez, who is from Lemoore. “It’s nice to finally see it come full circle, and I’m able to wrestle in front of my community,” Martinez said. “The coaches and I talked about this when I was getting recruited, ‘We’ll definitely come back,’ they said. I always put on a show, so it’s going to be fun.” The team wraps up the weekend with the Roadrunner Invitational Sunday in Fresno, California. It is unknown if the team scheduling and team recruitment departments collaborate with one another, but it is known that another Illini wrestling member will be wrestling on his home turf Sunday. Fresno, California, native and redshirt sophomore Nikko Reyes voiced his ambition for making a statement this Sunday in familiar surroundings of his own. “I have some pretty good competition there: Oregon State, North Carolina. Both those guys are in the top 20,” Reyes said of two of his opponents. “It’s going to be a good practice for the postseason, when you’ll have to wrestle three days in row and weigh in three times. That third day, everyone is tired, and everyone is sore. It just makes you tougher.” This weekend will be the first true test for the No. 11 Illinois wrestling team with other top-20 teams in the mix. With what seems to be the entire state of California in their corner, the Illini will look to thrust themselves further upon the national stage as they enter the bulk of their nonconference schedule.

Atkins hosts international tennis tournament BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s tennis team’s fall season is officially over after Indoor Nationals last weekend, but fall competition isn’t over yet for many members of the team. This week and last week, the Atkins Tennis Center has been host of tennis pros from around the world for the JSM Challenger of Champaign-Urbana, with $50,000 of prize money on the line. This year, the tournament draw includes players ranked as high as No. 51 in the world. The draw’s top eight seeded players hold world ATP ranks from 51 to 142. The strong competition is more of the usual for the JSM Challenger. Tournament director and Atkins manager Jim Tressler said the Challenger always brings in high-profile players. “These are guys that play in the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, the top guys in this tournament are also playing in top tour events around the world,� Tressler said. “These guys are legitimate worldclass tennis players.� World-class tennis players have been descending upon Champaign-Urbana since 1996. It’s the secondlongest running tournament in the U.S. on the ATP Chal-
lenger tour, the second tier of professional tennis and the largest professional tennis tournament in Illinois. The tournament came to life when former men’s tennis head coach Craig Tiley heard that the USTA was looking to add tournaments to the Challenger circuit. “He was looking for ways to kind of put Illinois tennis on the map. In order to compete with some of the Southern schools and West coast schools, he felt like he had to do something differently,� Tressler said. The tournament was started to give Illini tennis players a chance to play in a professional tournament, and that objective has continued throughout the tournament’s 19 years. As the host site, the tournament offers wild card bids into both the qualifying and the main draws, and Illinois is able to get most of its players into the draw. Most collegiate players would be limited to playing on the Futures circuit, the lowest tier of ATP tennis, but playing on the Challenger gives the Illini chances to earn more ATP points and play higher-ranked players. This year, a few current Illini are in the draw. Farris Gosea and Jared Hiltzik were
entered into the main draw. Gosea fell in the first round, but Hiltzik earned his fi rst Challenger victory. Hiltzik will join his brother Aron as a doubles wild card team, along with indoor national runner-ups Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski. Gosea will also play in the doubles bracket. Head coach Brad Dancer said the biggest differences for Illini players jumping from NCAA to ATP is their opponents ability, both physical and mental. “Guys at the higher levels have more weapons than our guys typically do, and they concentrate a little bit better,� Dancer said. “Some of our guys have weapons, and some of our guys concentrate really well, and those are the guys that tend to win matches in these events.� The tournament also brings a lot of Illinois tennis alumni back to Atkins. This year’s tournament features former Illini Rajeev Ram, now ranked No. 140 in the world. Ram was a doubles national champion and a member of the national championship team in 2003. Ram and Rueben Gonzales are only the latest alumni to play. The wild card bids are also

Last year, a wild card bid was given to former Illini Dennis Nevolo when he didn’t have a high enough ranking to get in. He made a run to the semifinals for one of the best showings of his professional career. Kevin Anderson, now No. 16 in the world, is one of the Illini’s most prolific alumni. Anderson is ranked too high to play the Challenger now, but Tressler said that the
tournament once gave Anderson a wild card bid when he was trying to make the ATP World Tour for the first time. He said that the professional alumni who play in the tournament all got the chance to play in it as an undergrad. The tournament brings countless benefits to the Illini tennis program. Tressler said it’s one of the most critical parts of the program, because it is so unique. It’s a recruiting tool that sets
Illinois apart and allows the Illini to become “absorbed in the culture� of a professional tournament. “They get to watch it as well; they help work the event. They’re just around the event quite a bit,� Dancer said. “And then playing against guys and realizing it’s maybe not so far off.�
