UI announces president New president will be introduced Wednesday morning by Board of Trustees chairman BY ABIGALE SVOBODA STAFF WRITER
After an eight-month search, the University will announce its new president Wednesday morning. Board of Trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy, accompanied by other University officials, will visit each campus throughout the day to introduce the new president. The press conferences will begin at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Chicago campus and will continue in Springfield at 12 p.m. The event at the Urbana campus will begin at 3 p.m. in the south lounge of
the Illini Union. All three events can be viewed on a live webcast. The newly appointed president will serve as the University’s 20th president, replacing current President Robert Easter after three years of service. Easter, a University alumnus, has been on campus for 42 years, as both a student and an employee of the University. He will retire on June 30, 2015, and the new president’s appointment will begin July 1.
Abigale can be reached at asvobod2@dailyillini.com or @AbigaleSvoboda.

Willard Airport plans rebranding and expansion BY ELYSSA KAUFMAN STAFF WRITER
A task force created to rebrand Willard Airport to increase awareness of its location and accessibility will report its strategic plan for the airport by the end of the year. The 20-member group was created by Chancellor Phyllis Wise last December and will report its results to her. “The goal of the task force is to see how working with the community and the University can improve air service to be sustainable over time,� said Steve Carter, chair of the chancellor’s advisory task force and former Champaign city manager. “This will reflect
more of a partnership between the community and the University.� The task force is primarily made up of representatives from various businesses, University faculty members and local government officials, such as Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing. Members of the task force feel it is vital that the University take responsibility, along with the community, for the University-owned airport, said Jayne DeLuce, president and CEO of Visit Champaign County.

Weight study emphasizes accountability Social support important in effective weight-loss efforts BY RUGE LI STAFF WRITER
For women trying to lose weight, a new study says getting a buddy will help keep you on track. The study, conducted by Catherine Metzgar, graduate research assistant in food science and human nutrition, found that in order for women to reach their fitness goals, it is important to feel accountable to another person and receive social support and motivation from others. For the study, Metzgar invited women who previous-
ly completed a weight loss study at Penn State to participate in focus groups, showing their experiences with weight loss and maintaining the loss. Around half the participants from the original study participated in focus groups. The women, aged between 25 and 45 years old, completed an 18-week program by decreasing their calorie intake by 500 calories a day. Metzgar’s research team saw that after the program stopped, most women regained the weight and
were unable to maintain their weight. However, 23 women reported additional weight loss. The women who lost weight all had similar characteristics: they had strong social support regarding their weight loss from relatives and friends. Also, many of the women thought the program’s weekly educational group meetings had offered the accountability they needed. Chloe Johnston, junior in LAS, said she lost 15 pounds last year and posted all her progress, such as photos of her “transformation,� on social media. Johnston said the support she received on the posts from family and
friends helped cement her weight-loss goals. “I posted on a social network because it keeps me motivated and makes me accountable,� Johnston said. She believes posting weight loss progress on social media is a popular phenomenon, and she frequently sees other girls posting pictures as well. Johnston was pleased to hear about the study, adding that it can help provide women with more options to help others. According to the study, participants who successfully kept the weight off said they added exercise into their

Hide the numbers: UI alumnus creates Facebook “Demetricator� BY EDWIN HSIEH STAFF WRITER
Facebook seems to have taken over the social world since it fi rst launched in 2004. It is now the world’s largest online social network with over 1.35 billion monthly active users worldwide. An average of 4.5 billion likes are generated daily, according to Zephoria, an Internet marketing consulting firm. From the number of “likes� you received on a photo to the amount of friends that appear on your profile, Facebook shows numbers everywhere. While not every number on Facebook is informative or noticeable, it certainly has a psychological impact on its users, according to Ben Grosser, University alumnus.
Grosser is an artist, composer and visiting professor at the University’s School of Art & Design who focuses on the cultural, social and political effects of software. Grosser describes himself as a longtime, heavy Facebook user; however, he slowly noticed a perplexing pattern in how he was engaging with the platform. “I found that oftentimes I was focusing on how many ‘likes’ my status received rather than on who liked it, or on how much my photo was shared, rather than on who shared it,� Grosser said. The question that really puzzled Grosser was, “Why do I care about these numbers so much?� To fi nd the answer, Grosser created the “Facebook Demetricator,� to try using Facebook without any numbers shown.

Facebook Demetricator is a browser add-on that removes all quantifying counts from the Facebook interface. Users are able to see who their friends are, but would have to count them by hand to know how many they have. They can see who comments on their status, but will only see their names instead of the aggregate value according to the information on the website. Since releasing the extension two years ago, thousands of users have adapted the tool and sent Grosser feedback on how it affected the way they used social media. “One user wrote me that they no longer know whether they can ‘like’ something because they don’t give

UI ranks 6th for students joining Teach for America BY PAULINE GAFFNEY STAFF WRITER
The University was ranked sixth for the highest number of students to join Teach for America within large schools of the United States. Fifty five students last year joined TFA, a teaching corps that selects college graduates and individuals with work experience to teach in low-income school districts. In the 2013 to 2014 school year, TFA placed 11,000 members to teach over 750,000 students in schools, according to its website. T FA’s main goal is to eliminate education inequality by finding, training and supporting recent college graduates and professionals to teach those who do not have access to an education comparable to wealthier school districts. Over 500 Illinois alumni have participated as corps members in TFA since it was founded in 1990. Each TFA participant commits two years to teaching in high-need schools. Elora Tocci, communications manager of TFA Chicago, said in an email that many students are recruited from the University because its goals align with TFA’s goals. “TFA is a great way to empower high-need students and ultimately become a lifelong advocate for equity and social justice,” Tocci said. “The university’s focus on and ded-
ication to diversity is also closely aligned with TFA’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.” Alumna Angela Ramiro is currently serving her

first year in the TFA program. She has been positioned in Memphis, Tennessee, teaching second grade students in an elementary school ranked in the bottom five percent. “As a first year teacher, it is frustrating, exhausting and hard. When people talk about the education gap and they say where you live will tell someone about their education, it’s true,” Ramiro said. “They (the students) have showed me I have had a privileged life. It shows me I didn’t have to worry about if my lights were on or if I had
money for school supplies or food stamps for the next week. They have taught me what it means to work for your education, because they work for it.” Jennifer Neef, associate director of the Career Center, said she is proud to see the University ranked as one of the top ten producers of TFA teachers. “TFA has a long history of doing excellent work and the fact that U of I students are very talented and driven to give back is great,” Neef said. The Career Center offers TFA as an option to students who are interested in teaching and also giving back to the community. “Personally, I think that it’s a very viable option for students who want to pursue service upon graduation,” Neef said. “It leads to fantastic longer goal opportunities. Even for students who haven’t already thought about it, it’s a great program.” Kadara Owoye, senior in Business, is currently in the process of applying for TFA. She decided to apply after a member of her business fraternity referred her to a recruiter. “I want to join because I believe in Teach for America’s ultimate goal of fighting education inequality,” Owoye said. Neef said one of the main groups of students that take part in TFA are students in STEM, or Science, Technology, Engineering

Should the student senate take a stance in boycotts, movements? BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITER
If approved in a subcommittee, the Illinois Student Senate will vote Wednesday on a resolution calling for the body to remain unaligned concerning any boycotts or movements on campus in an effort not to alienate any group or individual based on race, religion, nationality or sexuality. However, an involved public comment session at the Nov. 12 meeting showed the neutrality would not be universally accepted if the bill were to pass. To Muhammad Yousuf, sophomore in LAS and member of the Registered Student Organization Students for Justice in Palestine, the resolution’s call for an unaligned senate can mean the opposite of neutrality regarding certain issues. “The language in the resolution talks about boycotting and divestment in general, rather than in a specific case, but you can see that there is some strong intent behind the bill to block an anti-Zionist or any antiIsraeli rhetoric on campus, and that’s mainly our goal, which is to spread awareness

on the Palestinian side of the issue.” Student Body President Mitch Dickey believes there is still a lot of discussion to be had, and he plans to host meetings with SJP and Illini PAC, a pro-Israeli RSO. Zach Bass, ISS senator and senior in Business, said the resolution was prompted by a constituents concern over boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movements. Sarah Safe, SJP vice president and sophomore in LAS, also opposes the proposed resolution. She said if it passes, it may shut off the possibility for future discussion. “We want to make sure that we are inclusive in the sense that if there are things that go against human rights, we don’t want our university investing money in such institutions,” Safe said. “We want to be able to keep the door open.” The student senate has previously passed a resolution encouraging the divestment from all coal industry-related companies, promoting Safe to question why the resolution comes now.

it is normal for people to feel envious when seeing others doing better than them on social media sites. “If you were to remove the number, you might not have as much of a natural ability to compare,” Kraus said, explaining why the Facebook Demetricator may help create a more peaceful and positive user environment.

Madeline Lager, freshman in Business, said she and her friends feel more encouraged to work out when they go together. She said a lot of friends ask her to monitor their progress, which she finds necessary in order for them to feel she is supporting their weight loss. In her study, Metzgar also found that life transitions, such as graduating college, getting a job, getting married, having kids, and so on, are often related to weight gain in women. Looking forward, she hopes to continue her research by using larger focus groups and interviewing participants from other weight loss studies that used different methods to lose weight. Additionally, she hopes to find male participants as well, which could provide different feedback and experiences compared to the female’s perspectives.
“It is important that the task force is a community and campus effort. The task force is a lot of people coming together to make sure Willard Airport is a self-sustaining operation,” DeLuce said. Steve Wanzek, Willard Airport manager, said one rebranding possibility is the addition of the slogan, “Fly Champaign,” to establish the location of the airport. The hope is that people looking to fly into Champaign will know that Willard is the necessary airport. Rebranding, Wanzek added, could also include establishing a color scheme and other logos and slogans to standardize the Willard Airport name for print and visual media. “The role Willard plays is important, because it creates jobs both directly and indirectly,” Carter said. “Our hope is that by completing the plan for

This resolution has nothing to do with what the campus community does, this is just about the Student Senate taking positions on divisive issues.” A la na Rosenbaum, freshman in LAS, doesn’t oppose the proposed resolution, but is skeptical of some of the language used. Rosenbaum is a co-chair of J Street U, an organization seeking a negotiation for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian geopolitical conflict. “This could spark some of the tensions that were present over the Salaita case,” Rosenbaum said. “I think that it could be seen as silencing their voice and especially in light of the Salaita incident; I don’t think silencing anyone’s voice is a good thing.”

Michael Brown’s family thinks governor’s message should be for police as well CLAYTON, Mo. — Lawyers for Michael Brown’s family stood outside the St. Louis County Courthouse on Thursday morning and said the family supports Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s call for calm once the grand jury announces its decision about whether to charge the Ferguson police officer who shot the teen. But the attorneys said the governor’s call should have been aimed at police as well. The family wants to “reiterate his denouncement of
violence, looting and rioting in the name of Michael Brown,” said Anthony D. Gray, a Brown family attorney. “We feel, as the governor and other law enforcement officials, that such acts cannot be tolerated.” Gray added: “Law enforcement should have been equally condemned by the governor for this conduct at the same time he was admonishing the demonstrators. A strong message of zero tolerance should have been conveyed to all.”

Islamic State recording matches voice of leader, despite reports of his death IRBIL, Iraq — The Islamic State released a 16-minute voice recording Thursday of its leader, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, welcoming new followers in what amounted to a refutation of persistent news reports that he’d been killed or severely wounded in an airstrike a week ago. It was impossible to veri-
fy the identity of the speaker, but the voice matched alBaghdadi’s earlier recorded speeches and the recording was released through a known channel used for official Islamic State pronouncements. The Islamic State has a reputation for credibility in discussing the actions of its leadership.
Small cargo plane crashes into house after taking off from Midway airport A small twin-engine cargo plane missed an elderly couple by just eight inches when it crashed into their Southwest Side home shortly after taking off from Midway Airport Tuesday morning, fire officials said. “They were in a bedroom next to the living room and the living room is gone,” Chicago Fire Chief Michael Fox told reporters. “Eight inch-

Firefighters worked for hours to remove the body from the wreckage in the 6500 block of South Knox Avenue. “The floor of the living room collapsed into the basement,” Fox said, and emergency crews had to shore up the building before going in.

Willard Airport has six flights a day that go to Chicago and one flight a day that goes to Dallas. Wanzek said these flights are usually 85 percent full. Willard has also been attempting to add eastbound flights to benefit international and out-ofstate students. “A lot of our travel is international that leaves from Champaign,” Wanzek said. “Getting flights to Atlanta or Charlotte would help the international flights through cutting down the amount of necessary connecting flights for international students.” Willard has also talked to other airlines about potentially adding flight destinations.

In addition to commercial airline flights, general aviation planes use Willard Airport, Wanzek said. The private aircraft that use the space are a critical part of the business plan. “The University has a lot of visitors that are here to be guest speakers or are here for research,” Wanzek said. “One of the reasons the rebranding of ‘Fly Champaign ‘is important is for reaching out to people that are not in this community.” Ultimately, the task force hopes to revitalize Willard Airport. “An important part of the task force will be for the community and the campus to embrace the airport,” DeLuce said.

Appreciate education UI provides KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist
As
we get closer and closer to Thanksgiving, students on campus grip the sides of their coats with excitement for our upcoming break, start saving extra cash for Black Friday and grow hungry just thinking of the annual grand dinner many will be having. Yet, while this season is supposed to represent gratitude and appreciation, I still hear conversations flooding my residence hall’s dining hall, ranging from groans about the same buffet food to pleas for home-cooked meals. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard complaints about trivial things at our university. In everything from waking up for 8 a.m. classes to waiting for buses that are a tad late, students, including myself, seem to get lost in the minute problems at our university. Many of us don’t seem to take time and appreciate how fortunate we are. Most of us are actually quite privileged compared to the rest of the world by attending college. In fact, according to a study done by Harvard and the Asian Development Bank in 2010, only 6.7 percent of the world’s population has a college degree. Having immigrant parents, I cannot count how many times they put me in my place when I make an offhand comment regarding my education. As so many people in their country were never even given the option of an education, my problems of a teaching assistant not speaking perfect English or my classes being too large seem not only frivolous, but narrow-minded. Even in our own wealthy nation, only 62.4 percent of applicants receive an acceptance letter from the University. Very rarely do some of us seem to put into perspective how lucky we are to receive an education from such a school as the University of Illinois. So many people worldwide hope for the kind of education we are receiving, but a shockingly low number of them will ever get the chance. This puts into perspective how fortunate the students of Urbana-Champaign are. Not only do we go to college, but we also receive an education from the eleventh top public school in the nation. There are many things that might get in the way of us fully appreciating our high-end education. Having this college as my state school is one of the largest reasons I probably don’t value this school as much as I should — it’s close to home. While there are international students that flood from all over the globe to come here, I can simply view this school as sitting in my own backyard. Even more, the distractions that this university provides are endless. We have one of the largest Greek systems, and in 2013 we were voted as the third top party school in the nation. It’s no wonder some students lose focus when it comes to the No. 1 reason we should all be here: for an education. An education from a school such as the University of Illinois will not only dramatically increase my chances of finding a higher paying job, but it’ll allow me to both contribute to my community and make my mark in society. Educated individuals are the key to establishing changes around the world. It is therefore imperative that we start appreciating the quality education that surrounds us.
We should all end our petty grumblings and find it within ourselves to be thankful for all the ... offerings in our lives. Don’t get me wrong — I’m sometimes a huge contributor to this phenomenon of under-appreciation of our school. But rather than sulking in our miseries, I think it’s high time that we stop taking for granted amenities that so many will never experience. When we see how many opportunities and doors open for us so easily compared to the rest of the world, our education suddenly changes from a boring lecture to a blessing in disguise. That is why this Thanksgiving season, I think we should all end our petty grumblings and find it within ourselves to be thankful for all the wonderful offerings in our lives — whether it be a family that surrounds us, independence that we have gained, passions that we have found, or our university — terrible dorm food and all.

Public access should be priority
On
Monday, Steven Salaita filed a lawsuit against the University of Illinois, claiming that the denial of a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act was illegal. The rejection of Salaita’s faculty appointment was part of a controversy earlier this year. Salaita’s request was for the email correspondence of 15 University officials containing at least one of 14 keywords over a one-month period, according to the lawsuit. This was a request that had been narrowed multiple times to become more specific. Still, the University claimed the request was “unduly burdensome� (in other words, it was too much work) and denied the request. Salaita claims to have never received a response to his most recent request. As journalists, we are familiar with Freedom of Information Act, as well as the University’s public records office. We have had similar requests denied for the same reason. We believe in public access. We want transparency. We support the members of the public who seek public information, and we believe that Salaita’s request should have been fulfilled.
We’ve never quite understood how the University’s FOIA office decides which requests are unduly burdensome. According to the Illinois Attorney General’s office, public bodies can deem a request unduly burdensome when “the burden on the public body to produce the information outweighs the public interest in the information.� We find it difficult to rationalize the idea that sorting through emails is a burden to any public office. After the emails are located, they need to be read through, and the University will redact anything that does not comply with the open records law. We know that this takes some additional time, but the role of a public records office is to fulfill these requests. And in Salaita’s case, he narrowed his request to make it less of a “burden.� While this request may take more than five days to fulfill, there’s no reason that this request can’t be fulfilled in the extra time that would be allotted with an extension. This request should not be flat out denied. Just in case the University doesn’t know, it’s not very hard to search an email inbox. Because the University seems to have so much trouble with this simple task, we decided to do a public service and create a “how-to� on searching an email account for certain words.
First, you log in to your email address.
Second, you go to the top white search bar with the magnifying glass icon next to it and you type in whatever it is you’re searching for. Then, you press enter.
Now, you have all of the emails that contain that keyword. You can easily see on the right hand side which emails are from the last month. That’s how simple it is. Now, University, you can try it yourself.

OK so 20-something degree weather is not ideal, but it looks like winter weather is here to stay. And instead of pointing out the inconveniences of freezing walks to classes, the slippery, snowy sidewalks, and perpetual red cheeks and runny noses from winter wind, we would like to shed some light on this temperature plummet. With brutal temperature ahead also comes the holiday spirit of December and, better yet, winter break — all things we greatly look forward to.

CREAiTIV Data Society promotes interdisciplinary student research BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER
Within the next seven years, the U.S. Bureau of Labor predicts a 24 percent increase in demand for jobs related to data analytic skills. As students equipped with such skills, Pablo Lopez and Ismael Correa wanted to make a Registered Student Organization to prepare for this employment gap. And so, the CREAiTIV Data Society was born this semester. The acronym CREAiTIV stands for Collaborative Research Engineers Attempting interdisciplinary Technological Innovation Ventures and serves as a simple explanation for the RSO’s goal, said Lopez, senior in statistics. “We’re not doing just research, not just statistics. We’re doing interdisciplinary research, which is important because we’re heading into a new big data world,” he said. The idea for the RSO started when Lopez offered to analyze Correa’s data for a small research project last April. Eventually, they both agreed it would be better to give others an opportunity to join in, Lopez said. Inspiration for this idea partly came from Lopez’s experience interning with the Stakeholder Alignment Collaborative Project, a group of 25 Ph.D. students around the country, working to promote the collaboration between geoscientists and computer scientists. “I thought it’d be nice for someone to allow undergrads to do this, even if they don’t have their GPA together,” he said. “They should still be able to do what they want.” Thus, this RSO aims to bring together student social scientists and statisticians to analyze data related to social issues, which would result in “endless research possibilities” and a lot of “power,”

DOGS was really fun.” In the future, Busey will learn commands critical to her work with students with disabilities, such as being able to help a fallen person get up off the ground. “Our dogs are (trained) specifically for those with physical disabilities just because that’s the resources that we have,” Shyman said.
Finding a good match Connolley is used to being around dogs at home; however, having a family dog is very different from raising one at college. Adopting Busey was a big lifestyle change, Connelly said. “Before, I could do whatever I want. I could go right from class to hanging out with friends. Now that I’ve got a dog, I’ve got to worry about her and make sure I’m not out too long,” he said. Training a service dog even impacts where he can live, he said. Connolley listed JSM Apartments and Roland Realty, which is where he currently lives, as two of the most accommodating apartment companies for people with pets. Busey is not just a commitment during Connolley’s time on campus. The affectionate

GIS one in 2009 and one in 2010. Allan and his colleagues have helped bring it back this year because of the wide use of the Geographic Information Science, or GIScience field, as well as the GIS Software. However, this event is not unique to the University. In fact, GIS Day is an occasion celebrated internationally on Wednesday, with hundreds of events occurring in every continent. A full map can be found at GISDay.com under the “Events” tab. “Sometimes GIS is hard for people to understand ... and so GIS Day kind of surrounds (those who work with the software) with a peer group,” Allan said. “So I like how it makes my career feel important. It gives (the peer group) a day to brag about themselves.”
The evolution of GIS Tweddale has been working at INHS for 14 years, and Allan has been with the Water Survey since 1993. Back then, he said, it was tricky because there wasn’t as much data available to them. These days, both Allan and Tweddale said they have seen how the software has continually progressed. “It has transitioned from

ZIANG XIAO THE DAILY ILLINI
Pablo Lopez and Ismael Correa, founders of CREAiTIV Data Society on Nov 7. Lopez said. “Social researchers, up until recently, were limited to statistics and multiple questions,” he said. “But because of all the data coming up and all the computerized technology, social researchers now are booming with new things that they can research.” Lopez and Correa hope to develop innovative research ideas by drawing in student researchers with different majors that will fulfill the social and analytic categories. Majors that would fall under the social category include sociology, political science, psychology, economics, civil engineering and history. On the other hand, the analytic category would include majors such as math, statistics, informatics, computer science, industrial engineering and electrical engineering. This collaborative effort is the most exciting aspect of the RSO, Correa said, junior in LAS. “When you fill a room with all of these perspectives, it’s definitely interesting to see the different ideas and the resolutions,” he said. For Lopez, it is the point of “unraveling,” he said. “We all understand the
research similarly, but we communicate differently,” he said. “But there is going to be a time that everyone is going to realize that there is a connection between all the different perspectives. And once they realize it, there’ll be a breakthrough in research.” As of now, the RSO is in the “ideation” stage, in which members must come up with five ideas. In the next couple of weeks, the proposal idea pool will be cut down to five projects that the group will extensively research during next semester. The end goal of the RSO is to give undergraduate students the opportunity to be published on their website and other academic journals and to be able to display the research projects and data products they developed over the course of the year. Yet, the overall mission of CREAiTIV Data Society is to ultimately use data for the good of society, Correa said. “We live in a world of data,” he said. “And if all the data is there, why not analyze it and see if there is a way that we could find a benefit to society?”
dog also makes an excellent companion, he said. “I didn’t go home this summer; I stayed here, so it was nice having company then,” he said. Beyond the training, Busey is also a source of entertainment throughout Connolley’s and the team’s school week. “Everyone’s favorite thing about Busey is that she’ll try to be sneaky. She’ll be on the ground and try to army crawl under things,” Connolley said, “If she gets something she’s not supposed to have, she’ll hide it under her paw and look at you like she doesn’t have anything.” Shyman also describes Busey as having a sweet temperament, always looking for someone to play with. “If you’re just sitting down, she’ll take a paw and plop it on you,” Connolley said. “She’s very friendly.” Working with Busey and the rest of the club has brought the team together as well, according to Connolley. “My favorite part of training is getting to know all the people. Everyone there loves the dogs and is there for a great purpose,” Shyman said. Cox said that the team members also provide support for each other when it is time to give up the dogs. “It’s nice to have a group, because you know they are going through the same thing,” he said.
Shyman said that when any of the dogs graduate, it is rewarding for everyone in the club to see their hard work going to a great cause. “The people that they were being placed with were so grateful and just had smiles on their faces,” she said, “I’m excited to see more dogs graduate.” Connolley said that Busey has about one more year of training before she is ready to graduate. However, Connolley will graduate from the University before Busey is finished. “Over the next semester, we will begin to transition her to another primary so that they can finish training her to be a service dog,” he wrote in an email. Connelly said he is enjoying the time that he has left with Busey. Cox said Busey’s and Connolley’s personalities match well together. “It will be pretty difficult when the time comes,” Connolley wrote in an email. “But I know she will be in good hands when I have to hand her off. I’ve been sort of preparing since the start as I knew from the get-go I would have to give her up in the end. But it helps to know she will be doing something really amazing and making a difference in someone’s life.”

So it’s exciting and challenging at the same time.” As new changes arise, new job opportunities do as well. During the GIS Day event, there will be opportunities for networking. These are mainly aimed at
students who are studying GIS. At the event, they will be able to get in touch with local GIS professionals in addition to companies who are hiring. “Networking is the biggest reason I am pushing (for people to come to GIS Day),” Allan said. “It’s a good partnership between various agencies across campus.”

Art Connolley, senior in LAS, has been living with and teaching Busey, a one-year old Schnauzer-Labrador mix in training to be an Illini service dog.
Illini Service Dogs prepares and graduates dogs for disability assistance BY ISABELLA JACKSON STAFF WRITER
Bringing up a young dog is an investment in the future. Owners expect the hours spent training, housebreaking and cleaning up after a puppy to pay off with years of companionship as both dog and owner age. But Art Connolley’s relationship with Busey, a black Schnauzer-Labrador mix, is different. Busey is one of the service dogs in training through the Illini Service Dogs registered student organization. Although Busey is currently being raised by Connolley, her primary handler, she will go to work for a student with disabilities when she is fully trained. Kendall Cox, current president
of Illini Service Dogs and senior in Engineering, said that all of the handlers know that they will have to say goodbye to the dogs they have worked so hard to train. “It’s obviously sad when they leave, but knowing that the dog is going to go off and do something great is what makes it worth it,� he said. “It’s something to lean back on– the knowledge that they are going to really make someone’s life better.� Cox said he knows how hard it is to have to say goodbye to a dog. He served as both a secondary and primary handler for Blue, a Yellow Laborador Retriever, who graduated last May. Seeing Blue progress and learn new skills helped with the transi-
tion, because he said he knew that it was for a good cause, but giving him up was difficult. “It was a sad day. There were tears of happiness, tears of sadness from everyone on the team,� he said. Connolley, senior in LAS, has been a member of the club for two years, since Cox encouraged him to join. Connolley took on the responsibility of becoming Busey’s primary handler last spring when Busey was six months old.
Coordinating a team effort He isn’t alone in preparing Busey for work as a service dog though. Each dog’s training is
divided between the primary caretaker and secondary handlers — in Busey’s case, six. After two years, each Illini service dog “graduates� before being placed with a permanent owner. “A secondary will only take the dog maybe once or twice a week for a few hours. They’ll mainly do a lot more focused training. For me, ... it’s more just daily tasks,� he said. “I’ll have her do sit and stay at intersections, or if I drop something I’ll have her do ‘Take it’ to pick it up for me.� Elana Shyman, junior in Education, is one of the team’s secondary handlers. She said that the whole team must be willing to put in time with Busey if something comes up in Connolley’s schedule.
Each secondary handler generally spends two to four hours a week in training sessions with Busey. The rest of the time, the dog lives with Connolley. “By having multiple trainers, the dogs don’t just get used to one person. They have the ability to work with multiple people,� Connolley said. In training Busey, the team first went through basic commands, such as teaching her how to sit and stay. After those, the commands gradually became more difficult. “We’re working her into more advanced commands like turning lights on and off now,� Connolley said, “She just got that one. That

Illinois celebrates modern mapmaking

BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER
The practice of mapping started approximately 16,500 years ago in central France, where prehistoric people painted the stars in cave walls. These were humanity’s first mapmakers. Since then, cartography and map mediums have evolved from cave walls to clay tablets and fi nally from paper to digital forms. Today, there is GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, which has been recognized for the past few decades. GIS is a computerbased system that can process data organization, analysis, management and more in the form of visual maps. Since this system is so widely used in different disciplines and fields, the University is holding GIS Day, a daylong event at the iHotel Wednesday.
GIS Day: What it’s about The event will feature a keynote address in the morning, an afternoon plenary talk and 23 five-min-
sessions throughout the day. “I’ve been doing GIS my entire career,� said Kingsley Allan, GIS manager at the Illinois State Water Survey. “In the old days, we kind of knew everything that was going on (in the GIS community), because there weren’t as many people doing it. Now there’s just been this explosion in the last few years. So it’s really a delight to hear how they’re applying it.� Jessica Camille Aguirre of Smithsonian magazine writes, “At its most essential, GIS is a system for marrying data sets with geography.� The applications of this map data are nearly endless and can be harnessed in a variety of subject areas.

Student’s quest to becoming a karate world champion BY PATRICK FILBIN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Inside a mirrored room at the Activities and Recreation Center, Alli Mack, a 19-yearold pre-med student, takes a kick to the side of her head. She stands five feet, five inches tall and is bouncing swiftly and decisively on the balls of her feet. Back and forth, back and forth. The steps make a pulsing rhythm off the hardwood floor and soft but hurried breaths escape from her nostrils. Her fists are chesthigh, held up by toned arms that show little fatigue. Her Gi — a traditional piece of martial arts wardrobe originating in Japan — is a crisp white and fits loosely on her small figure. In uniform, there’s a decided confidence in the way Alli carries her-
self. Around campus, she blends in. In this room, she’s a weapon. Around Alli’s waist is a black belt. “Other sports, kids get into them to be with the cool kids,� she says. “Karate is very different. You’re alone, so you have to know who you really are.� Allison Mack was born in Glenview, Illinois. When she was 4, her mother took her for her first karate lesson. The Mack children were all put through the martial arts ringer. Some of the six siblings stuck it out, others didn’t. The turning point for Alli was when she was only 9. In her first national competition, she took first place in the Kata — a detailed and choreographed set of patterned
moves judged on precision, passion, strength and spirit. As a child champion, Alli was confident that she’d stick with competitive karate forever. Yet today, she’s training for her final competition: the 2015 World Championships in Poland. “I don’t think I’ll have the chance to go to another Worlds because I’ll be in med school,� she says. “I just want to be satisfied with what I do. And obviously� — she smiles — “it’d be nice to come home with some hardware.� Whatever happens in Poland, Alli will hang up her Gi and bow out of competitive karate at the age of 21. Seeing that she was the third best in the Kata on the planet at age 17, this is like Michael Jordan calling it quits after high school. Over the years, Alli tried other sports — lacrosse, soccer, basketball — but none stuck like karate.
“There’s a certain respectability and spirituality to the training that helped me focus more intensely on every other aspect of my life,� she says. She first noticed her newfound calmness and maturity in middle school, right at the time she would earn her black belt in Shotokan, the most widely practiced of five forms of karate. The philosophical mantra of Shotokan: seek perfection of character, be faithful, endeavor to excel, respect others and refrain from violent behavior. A lot to live up to for a 12-year-old. “The art itself pushed me into my field of kinesiology,� she says. “But sticking with it at such a young age made me think of everything in the long-run. I don’t like to quit at anything.� Her partner in today’s kicking drill is Charlie, who

For the Illinois football team, penalties have been a problem all season long. The Illini have had only one game with fewer than four penalties. They gave up a season-high 11 penalties for 110 yards in a 44-19 loss to Washington. Saturday’s game against Iowa was no different, with the team recording eight penalties for 59 yards. Five of those came from the offense, two from the special teams and one from the defense. In the loss, the penalties hindered an Illini offense struggling to make plays. Illinois had two penalties on its opening drive, including an illegal formation and a kicking catching interference call on an Illini punt. Then, on their second drive, the Illini recorded three more penalties: a holding call, a delay of game and an intentional grounding call on quarterback Wes Lunt that resulted in a safety. Tim Beckman, head football
coach, said the defense started off strong, but the calls added up and hampered the offense from getting into a rhythm. “Those types of things, regardless of whom you’re playing - you can’t make those mistakes,� Beckman said. The intentional grounding penalty gave Iowa two points but a personal foul from defensive tackle Jarrod Clements gave Iowa better field position. The Hawkeyes carried out the drive and added another touchdown on the board. Looking ahead, defensive coordinator Tim Banks said the key is coaching better to avoid similar situations. “You’ve got to coach them as best as you can and make sure they’re making smart decisions, in terms of where they putting their hands,� Banks said. “To be honest, I’m thinking of a penalty we had, a hands to the face — that’s an aggressive penalty. You’ve just got to be smarter in terms of his hand placement.�
While Illinois racked up the penalties, Iowa managed to go almost the entire game without recording one. The Hawkeyes did not have a penalty until the final four minutes of the game. “It was 8-0 there for a little bit,� Beckman said on Illinois’ penalty run. “It was kind of crazy - never been involved in one of those before.�

Hill focuses on aggressiveness BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
It’s no secret Illinois basketball’s biggest strength is its depth. The Illini have already had players hit double-digit scoring 10 times in its fi rst two wins — none more noticeable than sophomore forward Malcolm Hill, who did so in both games. Sunday’s performance impressed Illinois coach John Groce after a 80-71 win over Georgia Southern Friday. “If you have 24 assists on 41 field goals, you’re really being unselfi sh and moving and sharing the ball,� Groce said after Sunday’s 114-56 win. “Tonight’s story was the defense and the way the guys in our locker room responded to our fi lm session.� One of the guys Groce was particularly hard on was Hill. The sophomore turned the ball over three times Friday night, shooting 33.3 percent with four missed shots. “I told him I felt like someone jumped in his

“I think we had the ‘too-cool’ mindset ... We have to get out of that funk.�
“We were feeling ourselves a little bit, and we have to get out of that funk. We can have that sometimes.� Groce has tried to start breaking the Illini out of the “too-cool� mindset. His attempts even goes as far as not letting the players text on their phones when they go out to eat. Hill said the Illini coach often tells them, “talking is cool� to get them to talk more. Groce has held up Nnanna Egwu as the most vocal player on the team. However, Egwu has been quiet on the stat sheet in the team’s fi rst two games. The senior has just three rebounds in 45 minutes this season, causing a need for players like Hill to step up until Egwu gets into the rhythm and begins producing like he’s expected to in his fi nal year with Illinois. When players aren’t performing at the level Groce expects them to be at, it’s easy to tell. Whether the coach is screaming, kicking or slamming some-

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
T
wo weeks ago in a home game against Aurora University, Illinois goaltender Joe Olen gave up three goals in the first period. Olen was pulled and Aurora cruised to a 7-4 win. Head coach Nick Fabbrini thought Illinois’ defense had let Olen down. “We had a lot of breakdowns in front of him, two of the three goals he really
had no chance on because of mistakes we made in front of him,” Fabbrini said. “We need to do a better job of bailing him out in the situations where maybe he is playing at the top of his game.” Rather than blame the defense for the loss, Olen immediately began working on improving his game in practice. He focused on protecting rebounds and getting farther out to challenge opposing shooters. By the time Iowa State rolled into town, Olen was ready for whatever came at him, including a crucial penalty shot. Trailing 2-1 midway through the third period Saturday, Iowa State had a chance to tie the game with a penalty shot after an Illinois player fell on the puck in front of the Illini’s net. Trev-
or Lloyd, Iowa State’s secondleading scorer, stepped up to take the shot. Unfortunately for Lloyd, Olen lives for pressure situations. Olen stayed patient and began drifting out of net to meet Lloyd. Lloyd decked right and came left with the shot, but Olen anticipated the play the whole way and stopped the puck with his leg pad. “I like pressure situations, usually,” Olen said. “They add a little bit more fun to the game for me. It’s fun being in that situation and having a chance to step up for your team.” Olen’s save gave the Illini momentum to finish strong, secure the 2-1 win over Iowa State and complete the series sweep at the Big Pond over the weekend. “I feel like it was a gamechanging play,” senior defenseman William Nunez said. “Again, he gave us another
opportunity to win. Olen recorded 61 saves and allowed two goals in two games against Iowa State as the Illini improved to 12-5-0. Fabbrini said he feels Illinois has been successful because Olen stacks up as one of the best goaltenders in the country. What stands out about him is “his size and athleticism,” Fabbrini said. “He also anticipates really well, and all of those three things together make him really tough to beat. He competes hard. I know when he’s focused pucks don’t go in on him.” In 12 games played, Olen has 323 saves and a save percentage of .928. In the American Collegiate Hockey Association, he ranks 21st in goal against average. But Olen is hesitant to claim credit for his weekend heroics. Instead, he acknowledges the defense’s contribution to his team’s productive weekend.

the controller of all parts simultaneously. Alli keeps a loose routine before competitions: visualizing her Kata puts her to sleep easily the night before. For breakfast something simple — a bagel or yogurt. Kanye and Jay Z play in her headphones. The beat of hip-hop keeps her rhythm in check. When she changes into her Gi, which is pressed, ironed and tailored before every competition, she must be completely alone. Her mother is usually waiting on the other side of the locker room door with a pep talk — nothing fancy, just “Chin up” and “High spirit.” If the mat seems slippery, Alli will apply hair spray to the bottoms of her feet. No toenail polish. Her feet blend in with the ground better without it. Then she’ll go through bits of her Kata off to the side.
Slow motion first, then at game speed. On the mat, her mind goes blank, her vision blurs and sound mutes. She lets her body do the thinking. The last time she was on the global stage, at the 2013 World Championships in Liverpool, she failed to medal. For her first Kata, she went head-to-head against the reigning world champion. Two key things went wrong: She hadn’t known that in Europe judges look for speed in completing your Kata as well as precision. And she failed to roll her neck at the exact instant she reverse punched. That was enough for her come home empty handed. “It took me so long to watch the tape from that competition,” she says. “At least two weeks. But now I’m even more eager and anxious to prove what I could do.”
At the ARC, after the group does a set of kicking high and tight near the ears, Alli offers a piece of advice: “Try not to blink when the foot comes up. That’s what your opponent looks for when sparring. If they see a blink, they have an in for an attack.” It is the wisdom of an experienced fighter. She’s gone up against the best in the world, felt the pressure of representing a nation. Even at the ARC, her mind is on Chicago, Liverpool, Colorado, Poland. With 20 minutes left in the session, the group agrees on free sparring to finish up practice. Alli smiles behind her mouth guard and tightens her belt. The pairs are created and three different shaias — sparring matches — happen at once. A Judo or TaeKwon-Do fight would be more physical. A shaia in karate is
mostly mental, more like a chess match than a wrestling match. More mind than muscle. Each shaia begins with a bow. As the matches go on, fatigue starts to set in. “Man, I need to run more,” she’ll say after they finish. In her last shaia with Charlie, after he connects to the side of her head, she sets her feet for her final combo: First she kicks left, connects above his waist, then pivots on her left foot, connects right just above his belt, then roundhouse kicks near his chest, a final hit — thwack. She lets out a booming “Kiai” — the short yell martial arts fighters often make — and literally kicks the sweat off of him. Charlie stumbles back as the perspiration rains down onto the clean wood floor. The shaia is done and they each bow. Water bottles open and

KARATE stands six-foot-one. They trade kicks, swinging their legs over each other’s outstretched arms at chest height. Alli’s kicks have to go as high as her head. “I can get lower for you,” offers Charlie. “No, don’t,” says Alli. She does the kicks with ease. Her kicks are strong and evenly orchestrated. Her foot strikes Charlie’s hand pad repeatedly — pop, pop, pop. They say football is a game of inches; the control of an experienced black belt in karate makes it a game of centimeters.

impacts in only their second game in orange and blue. White poured in 23 points to go along with eight rebounds in just 21 minutes. Kissinger added 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. They both acknowledged that after two games, they’re starting to feel more comfortable on the court. “A couple games under your belt makes you feel really good, and the court feels like its our new home,” White said. Kissinger played a big part in White’s offensive success, hitting her fellow Nebraska native on multiple cuts to the hoop for easy finishes. “It’s more because of our chemistry, since we’ve played together since sixth grade,” Kissinger said. “I kind of have a feel for her and where she’s going to go and when she’s going to go.” Kissinger also knocked down two 3-point shots for the Illini, something expected from the sharpshooter. However, the made threes caused the Illinois bench to go crazy, because they were the first, and only, made threes of the team’s season. “Yeah it was definitely nice to finally break that spell,” Kissinger said with a laugh. “I couldn’t stop smiling after that first three.” Illinois also received a large contribution from yet

“A lot of the credit goes to the defense, because (Iowa State) didn’t get too many great chances all weekend,” Olen said. “I think they didn’t have a lot of two-on-ones, not a lot of breaks, so I think a lot of credit goes to (the defense).” On the other hand, Illinois’ defenders rely on Olen. “It makes my job a lot easier (having Olen in goal),” Nunez said. “Joe communicates with us pretty well, and he tells us to give him the outside shots and he’s going to stop those. If I have a two-onone coming down I’m going to give the shooter the shot every time because I know Joe is going to make the save.

Brittany Carter, the senior transfer from Ball State, posted a double-double in her second game with the Illini, with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Bollant was happy Carter was able to use her lengthy frame as a guard to crash the boards. Most importantly in Bollant’s eyes, the Illini once again capitalized on his calling card as a coach. The team forced Robert Morris to turn the ball over 27 times, after forcing IPFW to turn it over 35 times in the season opener. The onslaught of turnovers was paired with Illinois winning the rebounding battle, something it didn’t do in the opener. “Our defense for 30 minutes was really solid,” Bollant said. “We forced 15 turnovers in the first half and (Robert Morris) is a really skilled team.” With the newcomers starting to get their footing, Bollant wants the Illini to keep growing on the defensive end with higher levels of competition quickly approaching on the schedule. “Hopefully we can keep growing and make that our identity — as a team where we’re really hard to score against, and the defense is going to show up every night,” Bollant said.

She’s looking forward to the time when she can do karate for the pure spirit and joy of it.

Schneider’s work ethic pays off for Illini
BY MICHAL DWOJAK ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
She is the face of the Illinois women’s cross-country team. She is the lone runner on the team’s season poster. She has finished first for the Illini in all except one of the meets she has competed for the past two seasons. But if you saw her walking to class, you would have no idea who she is. That is just the way redshirt junior Alyssa Schneider is. Many describe her as an introvert, but that doesn’t take away from her role as a team leader. With her quiet demeanor comes a dogged work ethic that has helped her earn all that she has in her life and that is an inspiration to the people around her. “(Her work ethic) clearly indicates that she wants to do well,� sophomore runner Hanna Winter said. “That’s who she is and indicates the kind of person and leader that she is.� But the road to running in Champaign did not come without its challenges. Schneider’s relationship with cross country began during her freshman year at Bartlett High School in Bartlett, Illinois. Her sister had been a runner, and despite Schneider’s hope to play volleyball and soccer, she decided to stick with cross country to make it easy financially on her family. It didn’t take long for her relationship with the sport to blossom. In high school, she earned All-State honors in cross country in 2008 and in track from 2009-2011. Schneider was also named all-conference for cross country from 2008-2010 and earned four varsity letters in both cross-country and track. With all the success in high school, Big Ten universities like Ohio State, Michigan State and Illinois came calling. Happy with the size of a Big Ten school, Schneider considered her options carefully when she made her decision. “I really wanted to choose a school not just for its athletic program,� the mathematics major recalled. “I wanted to love the school that I attended.� That love materialized after visiting Illinois. She wanted to compete for the Orange and Blue. She came to campus during the summer after graduation, excited for the next chapter of her life to begin. But as the next chapter began, parts of the past continued to be an issue. Throughout high school and at the beginning stage of her collegiate career, she had to deal with a leg injury. Her shins were always sore after running, but
she had always ran through it. That changed her freshman year of college. In her first collegiate meet, the annual Illini Challenge, Schneider finished in 15 minutes, 27 seconds, the team’s secondfastest time. Despite the impressive finish, there was more concern than joy. The shins were an issue again. After racing in only one race, Schneider was granted a medical hardship waiver — she had a stress fracture in her shins — and redshirted her freshman year. Many people in Schneider’s situation would ask questions. One race into her collegiate career and she already had an

injury. Should she have dealt with the issue earlier? Schneider’s reaction was different. “I did feel separate (from the rest of the team),� Schneider said. “I dug into the recovery process and the rehab. That wasn’t going to deter me; it was something that I was going to battle through.� Former Illinois runner Katie Porada noticed the way Schneider responded to the injury. It’s what Porada believes defines Schneider not only as a runner, but as a person. She attacked the rehab and her goals so that she would be ready to run track in the spring. “She learned from it and set her eyes ahead,� Porada said. “It was a process where she never counted herself out.� In the fall of 2012, Schneider returned to cross country. It took her time to become adjusted with the long distances again. She finished at the middle spots for the team for most of the season, but made a big jump at the NCAA Midwest Regional. After a 22nd overall and
second-place finish for the Illini at the Big Ten Championships, Schneider finished first for the Illini at the 6K Regional with a time of 21:04. Her 12th-place overall finish earned her All-Regional honors but she failed to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Things were finally going well for the runner. With a summer to rest up, Schneider was excited for the upcoming fall. Then things changed. In the summer of 2013, Jeremy Rasmussen, the head coach who helped bring Schneider to Illinois, left. Ron Garner was named the women’s track and field head coach on July 19, but there was still uncertainty at the cross country helm. With no coach, each runner continued to do what was necessary to be ready for the season individually. As August arrived, there was still no cross country coach. The runners began to worry as fall camp approached. Uncertainty faced the program. Schneider was ready to make her next move but didn’t have a coach to lead her. On Aug. 19, just a few days before the runners were set to come onto campus to get ready for the season, Scott Jones was named the head coach. Schneider led the team in its commitment to Jones’ more datadriven approach to the team. “It was something that the team needed to do,� Schneider said. “Just because something was changing doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it.� After the changes were made and Jones and Schneider began to build a relationship, Schneider was finally ready to make her move. She placed first for the Illini in every race she ran. She finished fifth at the NCAA Midwest Regional and earned All-Regional honors with her 20:25 time, which was the fourthfastest time in school history and qualified her for Nationals. She would finish 93rd at the national meet. As she became the team’s leader on the scoreboard, Schneider also became the team’s leader off the course. Often described as an introvert by her teammates, Schneider leads by example. She takes care of her body, goes to all the workouts and makes sure to give it her all. Although not the most vocal person in the room, she will say the things that need to be said and help other runners when they don’t know what to do. According to teammates and Jones, Schneider is welcoming

Why Can’t the Palestinians Have a State? After the Arabs lost the West Bank and Gaza to the Jewish state in 1967, they denied Israel’s right to exist— as well as the prospect of a Palestinian state. When Israel defeated five invading Arab armies in 1967, it drove Jordan from eastern Jerusalem and the Jewish homelands of Judea and Samaria (later known as the West Bank) and repulsed Egypt from Gaza. Shortly thereafter, the Arab League issued its famous Khartoum Resolution: “No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel and no negotiations with it.� Since then, despite numerous Israeli offers of land for a Palestinian state, the Arabs continue to reject peace.

Alyssa Schneider earns the first place finish during the Illini Challenge at the UI Arboretum on Aug. 29. Schneider has finished first for the Illini in all except one meet. to all new runners, and makes sure everyone is comfortable with Jones’ expectations. This season, Schneider finished first for the Illini in every race she ran during the regular season. At the Big Ten Championships, she finished 58th overall, third-best for Illinois. At the NCAA Midwest Regional meet, she finished with the Illini’s best time (20:59) and 33rd overall. Schneider has one more year of cross country eligibility left after this season. Even so, the end is approaching, something her teammates don’t want to think about yet.
“It will be hard (when Schneider leaves),� junior Amanda Fox said. “It’ll be hard at practice not having her drive.� But there is still some work to do before the end comes. Although the success has been nice, there’s still much to attain. And as that time goes on, Schneider will work her best to make sure that it was worth it. “When I do finally leave Illinois, I want to leave everything that I have.�

reputation relatively well so far. He’s averaging 10.4 points per game and is shooting the rock at a high level: 48.3 percent from the field and 46.9 percent on threes. Despite that, Brooks needs to be more consistent. He started the season strong by scoring in double figures for the first four games, but he has only had three such performances since then. He needs to be that sparkplug off the bench who can keep his team in the game, because the Bulls cannot keep relying on their starters for the majority of the game. And that’s the greatest difference in this year’s bench becoming the next Bench Mob. The original Bench Mob came in Thibodeau’s first season as head coach of the Bulls, 2010-11. It was composed of Omer Asik, Ronnie Brewer, Gibson, Kyle Korver, Kurt Thomas and C.J. Watson, and what made them special was their ability to really come together as a team. They meshed so well together that they could play just as well as the starters, sometimes outplaying them and making it so Thibodeau didn’t need to go back to the starters. Chicago’s current bench has the potential to become the Bench Mob, but they certainly aren’t there yet. There have only been 11 games, so a lot can change. But until
It
all started on the evening of June 26, when the Chicago Bulls traded up in the 2014 NBA Draft to acquire Doug McDermott. The addition of McDermott was a big offseason move for the Bulls, and he’s a large reason why many fans are convinced this season’s bench will be the next Bench Mob. Along with McDermott, the bench unit consists of point guards Aaron Brooks and Kirk Hinrich and the frontcourt duo of Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. This lineup provides a mix of scoring, steady playmaking and solid defenders and is considered to be one of the better benches in the league. But as much as I hate to admit it, this bench unit isn’t worthy of being dubbed as Chicago’s next Bench Mob. Hinrich is a strange case, considering he has started eight of 11 games, but it’s clear his performance suffers when he doesn’t start. When starting, Hinrich has averaged 11.3 points and shot 37.3 percent from the field and 41.9 percent on threes. His bench numbers, however, are drastically different, with 4.3 points per game while shooting 30.8
not performing as well as they should either. McDermott has looked apprehensive, and it’s really hurting his game. While his 50 percent field goal percentage is fantastic, he has been horrible from downtown. On 20 attempts, McDermott has only made six 3-pointers. He has the ability to score in a multitude of ways, but it’s his 3-point shooting ability that Chicago really needs. As for Mirotic, he often looks uncomfortable on the hardwood. He’s hesitant to take shots and fakes his defender much more than he needs to. He just needs to shoot. As a stretch four, he occupies a valuable spot on this Bulls team, but he won’t be of much use if he doesn’t take advantage of his opportunities. In Monday night’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Mirotic looked much more comfortable. Even though his defense wasn’t good, he was still able to contribute, matching his career high of 12 points in just 18 minutes. Brooks is the third point guard in Chicago’s rotation. He has been compared to the likes of former undersized Bulls point guards Nate Robinson and D.J. Augustin, as he’s seen as someone who can bring a spark off the bench and provide consistent scoring. Brooks has lived up to that

percent from the field and 28.6 percent on threes. Neither set of numbers is great, but there’s no reason why Hinrich shouldn’t produce better numbers as a bench player. Granted, three games is a small sample size, but Hinrich’s fully capable of playing better — his minutes have been relatively consistent. Gibson has also started a few games, but he’s been on a decline as of late. He’s averaging 13 points per game, which is good, but often he’ll unnecessarily force shots in the paint. In the past five games, he has only scored in double figures twice and he only has one double-digit rebounding game so far. The Bulls have had struggles with rebounding, but Gibson is a large reason for this. He’s expected to be a top rebounder, and he hasn’t got the job done. Rookies McDermott and Mirotic have both struggled on the defensive end, and that has cost them playing time. McDermott’s minutes have been up and down, while Mirotic has played double-digit minutes only once in the past five games. Obviously, they both need to defend better, especially when their coach is Tom Thibodeau, but it’s difficult for two new players to jump right into Thibodeau’s system. Offensively, they are
