Describing terror in the ‘City of Light’ Students react to terrorist attacks and the effect at home BY DECLAN HARTY MANAGING EDITOR

Paris isn’t a ghost town. At least for Emilee McArdle it hasn’t been. McArdle, junior in LAS, wasn’t in Paris on Friday, when a series of terrorist attacks resulted in 129 dead and hundreds more injured. While her study abroad program is based in the city, McArdle was in Italy visiting a friend. After flying back Sunday, McArdle’s host mom drove her through the heart of the attacks in the 10th and 11th districts. Citizens and visitors stood outside the Bataclan Theatre as they drove by. McArdle described a scene of patrons mourning, placing flowers and lighting candles to commemorate those who died in the attacks. “Everyone’s in shock. It’s just a completely somber feeling everywhere,” she said. The “City of Light” is the

temporary home for McArdle and 11 other University students studying abroad. But the University’s connections to Paris reach far beyond those students as well; 47 native French students are currently studying at the University, and the Muslim community on campus has already felt a clear impact from the attacks. Mudassir Ali, president of Muslim Students Association and a junior in LAS, first saw the news of the attacks while at home. Ali said he immediately linked the attacks to the radical Islamic State, IS, and knew the attacks would cause a spur of inaccuracies and prejudices against Muslims across the U.S. “I couldn’t believe this happened without an ounce of hesitation, condemning everything that happened,” he said. “I felt immediately, given the context, that Muslims everywhere were going to be extremely affected.” Ali said that the issues that IS and other radical terrorist organizations have caused to the average Muslim civilian is that the organizations use the ideals

AN UNSPOKEN PRESENCE, PART IV everyone he sees. As one of very few Native American students at the University, the president of the Native American and Indigenous Student Organization and a senior in ACES, he’s busy. He also loves the University, and he doesn’t want his college memories to consist of only upset caused by the Chief. “I get this drained, tired feeling because I’ve done this so many times, and at the same time that I’m proud to share accurate information with people, I also think that it is an unnecessary and unreasonable expectation put on an undergraduate student while I’m also going through science courses,” Castle said. A nd for Mega n McSwain, a graduate student in ICR who is of Navajo heritage, the only way to accurately honor Native American heritage is to stop using the Chief to do so. “I don’t understand how it could be acceptable for any culture or ethnicity to

Editor’s note: This is the final part of a four-part series about how the tradition of the Chief continues on campus despite its ban in 2007. The Daily Illini focused on how and why the Chief has remained a prevalent image, and the mark it has left and will eventually leave on the C-U community and those of Native American heritage. Chris Castle is tired. It’s not that he’s given up, but he’s done it too many times. On any given day, during his walk to class or stroll through a hallway, he’ll see someone wearing a Chief shirt. He knows they’re not bad people. And they’ll usually stop wearing an image of the Chief if he approaches them and talks about the impact this has on him, as someone of Cherokee heritage, and others in the Native American community. But Castle can’t stop

be paraded around like a caricature at any event,” McSwain said. “If they were really wanting to honor Native Americans, I would think they would try to make some effort to educate themselves on not just Native Americans in this umbrella form, but recognizing and acknowledging specific Native American tribes because there are more than 500 in America alone and yet you find people that can’t name five of them.” But for so many others who are simply not willing to let go of the nearly century-old University mascot and symbol — despite its 2007 ban — the controversy of the Chief comes down to an issue over personal liberty.

But what are the implications? Though people have the right to support the Chief, whether it’s by wearing a t-shirt with Native American imagery or yelling “Chief” during the “Three-in-One” at school

Students gather for solidarity rally, push for revolution Students congregated at noon Wednesday on the Main Quad for the black student solidarity rally, which was organized through social media, networking and word-of-mouth throughout the week. The event did not introduce any formalized demands to University administration or other governing bodies. It was not organized by any specific group or registered student organization on campus. Many students came dressed in all black. The Facebook page for the event — which served as one of its primary organizers — encouraged black attendees to bring “black signs and black flags along with their beautiful black skin and black voices.” The events were organized in part with the Mizzou protests and subsequent changes in administration in mind but touched on many other issues facing black students on campus and in the nation. Daniel Johnson, freshman in Media, said the event was meant to

sporting events, sociology professor Cynthia Buckley said the retired symbol’s presence impacts the social and racial climate on campus. For instance, on Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day, Buckley saw students wearing sweatshirts that depicted a headdress made out of beer bottles. Though students were not wearing the shirt for racist reasons, she thinks they should still consider the impression they make. “What do my actions look like to others? What are the signals I’m sending?” Buckley said. “People get very agitated, and they lose sight of the fact that it is not just a debate about tradition; it is a debate about our identity, our membership in the NCAA and it’s also a really strong indicator of what we value as a University.” Buckley explained that the climate is not great for minorities like Native American stu-

Marching Illini in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade the very first time in Illinois history. This exhilarating event has fueled excitementnot only among the Marching Illini but the community as a whole. The Marching Illini, created in 1867, has generated a proficient and distinguished reputation. Being included in the world’s largest college band program, the Marching Illini has set standards for performance abilities through detailed drill designs and their annual concert at Assembly Hall, which attracts people from all over.

Attendees hold signs advocating for racial equality during a rally on the Main Quad on Wednesday.. campus. He lamented that his race is brought up in discussions as a “token” and feels his achievements are often reduced to his race. “There’s always situations where people said things to me as if I don’t have feelings, or people aren’t aware that I’m an actual person. At the career fair this year, a member of the same organization introduces me as his friend like this to his friend: ‘Hi this is Ron, and he’s our token black guy for our organization,’” Lewis said. “Mind you, he was dead serious, and this wasn’t a joke, and if my dream company wasn’t there, I guarantee you I probably would have done something different than just shaking his hand and smiling.” George Tullock-Harris, an attendee of the rally and freshman in Business, says he feels outnumbered.

“I just found out that there’s less than 3,000 black students on campus, and there’s 44,000 students, so that’s kind of mind-blowing,” Tullock-Harris said. The fall 2015 demographic breakdown of the University reports 44,087 students, 5 percent of whom are black. Gus Wood, a speaker at the event and graduate student in History, said the event would not be the last of its kind. He said a “reform” of current systems of institutionalized racism would not be the correct choice of words for the push for equality for black Americans; he wants a complete overhaul. Wood said the term used should be “revolution.” “This is the beginning of a few events,” Wood said. “Just know that this isn’t the end.”

When attending collective events at Illinois like football games, there are many key factors that contribute to the excitement in the stadium. There are the students in the Block I cheering, the dancers bringing all the fans together, the announcers whipping the fans into a frenzy, and let’s not forget a vital element: the band’s creation of harmonious and orchestrated melodies. This year, the Marching Illini has been given the opportunity to perform at the Macy’s Day Parade for

show support and solidarity. “I’m here in the support of the Mizzou acts, in support of a better future for the next generations and in support of changing the culture on this campus,” Johnson said. Solo artists and hip-hop groups recited raps as well as spoken-word poetry to an audience who snapped, cheered and raised their fists in support. The crowd fell silent to University student Olivia Winston’s solo performance of Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.” Aside from talking about the Mizzou protests, speakers touched on issues like wage inequality for women of color, the state’s decision to suspend acceptance of Syrian refugees and the importance of supporting trans people of color and other underrepresented populations. Speakers also discussed the issue of microaggressions and discrimination against black students on campus.

CHIEF dents. According to the latest report by the Division of Management Information, the University only had 37 self-reported Native American students this semester. “When the numbers are so low … It makes it very unwelcoming in terms of feeling that you have the right to publicly talk about your reactions and your perceptions,” she said. “It’s just very challenging in this enormous place for anybody to speak up.” Castle said for most Native American and indigenous students, speaking up is hard to do. Without his past experience, Castle said he wouldn’t be able to speak up against the Chief now. As he is also Korean, growing up in a predominantly white community where the high school mascot was the “Chinks,” sent him into an identity crisis. It was not until he was stationed in South Korea in the Air Force that he recovered his identity. “I had already been able to gain the confidence to express myself, to gain the confidence to approach people that were demeaning my heritage or asking questions that are inappropriate to ask a native person,” he said. “If I didn’t have that experience in high school, I probably wouldn’t have the tools but most of our native students here do not have those tools to deal with that level of systemic discrimination.”

of his two brothers formerly lived near the area. Ballet said both of his brothers were fine during the attacks, but described the idea of returning to the scene as unimaginable. He expressed concern around Friday’s attacks and the January attacks on the offices of the French satirical magazine, “Charlie Hebdo.” “It’s frightening. You don’t feel safe, like they couldn’t prevent this one even after the January attack,” he said. “So when will be the next time some terrorist attack happens? Will it be like when I’m going to take my plane from Boston to Chicago? Will it be when I go back to France?” For Andrea Bordeau, assistant director for International Safety and Security, last

Friday’s attacks weren’t the first time that a crisis has happened with students in a country or area in crisis. Yet, Bordeau immediately began reaching out to directors and students to verify their safety in Paris. Bordeau, whose position is only two years old, was able to confirm the safety of all the students in Paris within an hour. Bordeau said she works with the U.S. State Department, her counterparts at other universities and the University’s international insurance provider on determining whether or not students should be taken out of the area. She said the international insurance provider is clued in and determines when a student evacuation is need-

ed, which would allow students for some form of a refund. Bordeau described two classifications for whether students return home from study abroad: the University’s formal policy or a student’s personal choice. The formal policy is largely made off of Bordeau and the University’s conversations with the State Department, other universities and the insurance provider. “It’s minute by minute, that’s the actual truth. I will continue to monitor the events as they unfold,” she said. “There’s not necessarily a point where we say all clear.” France may still be under a State of Emergency, but McArdle described the citizen’s moral as anything but fearful.

officials, like the president and chancellor. She said colleges and universities often put the most emphasis on sports teams and mascots, as it took the strike by the Mizzou football team to finally affect change on their campus. “We over-identify with sports teams and mascots, and we under-identify with core values like knowledge and reason, and this manifests itself in the hostility about mascots and the centrality of that,” she explained. “But it also manifests itself in the terms of racial protests. As soon as a football team gets involved, well then we’re all set.” This also reflects the 2007 NCAA ban, which led to multiple teams changing their Native American nicknames, mascots and imagery, so they could host postseason games. Alex Villanueva, senator for the Illinois Student Senate, ISS, and junior in LAS, who is helping lead the effort to potentially introduce a new school mascot, wrote in an email that a new mascot could help solve the Chief controversy for good. “We can end a racial argument that has been had for over 40 years. It will better the racial climate; our American Indian students who are hurt when they see a Chief shirt or even the costumed ‘unofficial chief’ will fi nally have some closure,” he wrote. “It will also serve as a symbolic moment to show that ‘Yes, these racial questions divide us, but we can overcome.’” However, this is not old news for many. In 2005, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution saying that American Indian mascots in sports have a negative impact on American Indian children, and they recommended the immediate retirement of these mascots and imagery by all schools, teams and

organizations. Thereza Lituma, a freshman in Education who is of indigenous heritage, said she has never attended a football game at the University. “I’ve never gone because it’s something I know would make me very upset and I don’t want to feel like I have to go somewhere where I’m trying to have a good time and want to have to defend something,” she explained. McSwain said she fully supports introducing a new mascot. “If it was something other than the block letter ‘I,’ then that would render the Chief mascot completely obsolete and I think people would have something more in common and to cheer for,” she said.

As the University approaches almost a decade of confl ict with the Chief, Buckley believes it is time to move on. However, she recognizes that this won’t be simple. “I think that by having this long, drawn-out fight back and forth, it’s like death by a thousand cuts,” she said. “It leaves a lot of questions unanswered.” Frederick Hoxie, a Swanlund professor of History who has conducted research on Native American history, said one of the continued issues with the Chief is that the University never made an official statement on the matter when it was banned in 2007. Recently, Hoxie said a group of senior members of departments across the University sent a letter to Chancellor Barbara Wilson with concerns about the racial climate on campus, much of this stemming from the unofficial mascot and imagery still on campus. The letter asks that the administration come up with a statement to explain

that they do not promote the Chief because they want the University to be “a welcome and comfortable place for students and faculty of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.” Jay Rosenstein, a professor of media and cinema studies and American Indian studies affi liate, is one of the authors of the letter. Without an official University statement, he said people assume the Chief was only banned because of the NCAA requirements. “The NCAA said that these kind of images and mascots are hostile and abusive to Native American people,” Rosenstein said. “The University won’t admit that that’s a problem, so I think we need to fi nally be brave and courageous enough to educate people about what is wrong with these symbols and mascots.” Chief supporters also acknowledge that a statement from the University is needed. Steve Raquel, an adjunct lecturer in the College of Business who served as the Chief in 1993, said prior to the 2007 decision, he was working with the administration and Board of Trustees to find a way to transition the Chief to appease opponents and follow NCAA policy. But then, the University made the decision to retire the Chief. “I was one of three people who sat in the meetings and met with the Peoria tribe Chief, negotiated with the Board of Trustees, so I was one of the closest people to making this work, so to have them go ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’ It was hard,” he said. Dan Maloney, a University alumnus and the last official Chief who performed the fi nal dance at Assembly Hall in 2007, said regardless of how people feel about the Chief, the University mishandled the situation.

“(The University) had the ability to have deeper discussions with the NCAA, and they decided, ‘Nope, we’re not going to do that,”’ Maloney said. “We had opportunities even before that to endow scholarships and build up a very solid foundational relationship with the Peoria Tribe and we didn’t do that … People remember how they handled the situation and how quickly it was bushed to the side.” But Buckley believes that there is much more needed than just a statement that comes from above. “While the NCAA would like that very much, and, in a way, that would solve a lot of instrumental issues, it’s not going to solve the way people feel or way people think,” she said. “I think we need more opportunities for engagement and discussion.” For now, the Chief contro-

versy stands. Ivan Dozier, the current unofficial Chief and a graduate student in Crop Sciences, is continuing tryouts to select a new unofficial Chief. When he graduates, he plans to continue to educate people on the Chief through avenues like a web series or even a book. In the coming weeks, Villanueva and his co-authors will release the application for students to be on the exploratory committee to see if the University is ready for a new mascot. And students of Native American and indigenous heritage like Castle will keep making their voices heard and refuse a future with the Chief. “In decades it ought to be a chuckle, whereas right now it’s worth crying over,” Castle said.

only 12 were chosen, including Illinois. “I just really want to provide a very exciting opportunity for my students because I know how great it is to do the parade, so I’m excited for them to experience New York,” said Houser. This parade will take place in front of about 3 million live spectators, 50 million through NBC, and 15 million through CBS. In all, between live audience and TV audience, they are anticipating 68 million people to watch them. In preparation for the parade, Houser explained that they’ve had additional performances for training but he’s also emphasized mental preparation. The Marching Illini discussed the route and marching on the practice field but the true performance is the day

of the parade. Katie Zale, junior in Dance and Illinettes captain, discussed the big picture of the performance. “It’s very exciting but also a little overwhelming just to know the caliber of everything that is happening. We’ve been having high intensity practices at football games and extra performances and just getting our name out there that we are the Marching Illini and we’re going to Macy’s for this amazing event,” said Zale. Jacob Ramsey, senior in Education and alto saxophone member of the Marching Illini, also spoke about the opportunity. “It’s going to be a wonderful experience. I love doing band and marching and I just love all the people here. It’s a great family to have. I-L-L, I-N-I,” said Ramsey.

Eddie Rashan, a senior in LAS, and a snare drummer in the drumline, is absorbing each step at a time. “When we fi rst heard about it, it was crazy. It was just all of a sudden Barry sends out ‘Hey we have a little surprise.’ So we all went to the band room and boom they hit us with the news,” said Rashan. “It’s like a good final performance for me to end everything since I’m a senior. It’s the last performance I’m going to be doing and I’m playing for millions of people and I’m marching with my best friends that I have cultivated through the last 4 years. It’s just surreal.” Rose Craig, senior drum major in Music Education felt the same way. “To be a part of Marching Illini is such an honor. It’s really great to be able to show people who we are,

just share what exactly we are. I’ve seen this band grow and Barry has done an amazing job and this just seems like a great reward,” Craig said. “It’s a great opportunity for the band and the University to be standing on such a large platform and it will do a lot for future programs and being seen on a national level. We’re just ready to showcase what we do every day to a large venue” said Plotrowski, senior in Business and Color Guard captain. Amelia Mugavero, senior in Media and the fi rst feature twirler for the Marching Illini in 10 years, said, “It’s been a jam-packed season but I’m looking forward to Macy’s. I’ve watched the parade since (I was) a little girl, and it’s a dream come true to a part of it and also to be a feature twirler for

a college with the fi rst college band ever to be established in the nation. There are no words to describe the excitement and honor.” With much enthusiasm and exhilaration, the Marching Illini is more than prepared to take a piece of Illinois and the University with them on Thanksgiving Day. “I just hope people catching us on TV will take great pride in our community at the University of Illinois, pride in our institution and in the realization that ‘Hey that’s my school right there and they did us proud,’” Houser said. “The students here represent academic disciplines across campus, it’s like this band is made up of every entity here on campus.”

EDITORIAL Students need to be informed of all threats to campus safety

At

the start of the school year, the University police department unveiled a new student alert system. The new system, Campus Safety Notices, replaced the old Crime Alerts system and was intended to provide the campus community the information, tools and resources needed to stay safe. But we have doubts of whether it has been successful. As we near the end of the fall semester, only five Campus Safety Notices have been sent. Ideally, that would indicate low amounts of campus crime, but sadly, we know that’s not the case here. Saturday, according to the Nov. 16 Champaign Police Department media report, a University student was sexually abused. In her own apartment. The report was included amongst other reports of trespassing and domestic disputes. The unassuming eye would likely gloss over it, that is if they were even to actually read the police report. We suspect most students don’t. The offender in this incident was arrested on the charges of breaking and entering and sexual abuse. There was likely no immediate threat to the campus, but it still took place in Campustown. And it happened to a student. We understand if the University police department and administration don’t want to alarm students unnecessarily, but we think instances like this warrant a statement to inform and alert students. A major grievance of the old system, Crime Alerts, was the lack of expediency. An alert would be sent sometimes two days after an event occurred and students could not really benefit from them. We hoped Campus Safety Notices would change that but the system does not appear to be improved. Pat Wade, UIPD spokesman, said a notice was not issued because the offender was arrested and the immediate threat was mitigated. Wade also said the offense was under Champaign’s jurisdiction, and according to the federal Clery Act, it is not technically the UIPD’s place to issue a notice. However, he said, when there is an immediate threat to campus, the UIPD often works with the Champaign or Urbana police departments to issue notices and ensure campus safety and awareness. The Daily Illini’s Editorial Board believes students should be notified when other students are in danger. In this particular case, there was no immediate threat, the offender was arrested. But notices should be issued to inform students of how these incidences occur to increase their safety practices and awareness. Lack of notification about the crimes happening at the University may falsely lead students to believe that they do not occur, or they occur with far less frequency — which is simply not true. Currently, Campus Safety Notices are very reactive. The email blast states what happened, when and where it occurred and lists generic advice on campus safety. UIPD: Be more proactive. How about customized safety tips sent in relation to each incident? For example, explaining how someone was robbed and a reminder that students should lock their doors at all times would serve as a helpful wake up call. Regardless of the incident, students deserve to know the condition of their campus climate and should know when they need to take extra precautions.

Don’t speak on behalf of minorities COURTNEY BOYER Opinions columnist

E

ven though the official Chief mascot was eradicated from the University in 2007, his memory, his logo and his spirit remain among current students, alumni and even townies. I cannot speak for all Native Americans, but many Native Americans across the nation are not offended by these mascots, including my own family. Recently, however, Stephen Kaufman, professor emeritus, has asked Chancellor Barbara Wilson to order an immediate ban on the “Three-inOne” show done by the Illini Marching band because it was the official music for the Chief during Illini football games and could still be offensive to Native Americans. This is one of many instances of potentially well-meaning non-minorities ascribing certain sentiments toward minorities in an effort to be politically correct, without actually knowing whether minorities share their desires. Minorities have the freedom to think for themselves. Non-minorities who have taken it upon themselves to speak for Native Americans appear to be genuinely concerned for the well being of the Native American people. But if that were true, he would be speaking out on the more serious issues facing the minority population. Native Americans face real issues today that are far more important than college mascots. More than many other races, Native Americans deal with issues of mass incarceration, joblessness, poverty, poor-quality housing and education and other socioeconomic issues then. Rather stopping the “Threein-One” halftime show, these are the issues people should be talking about — especially people who claim they want to help minorities such as Native

Americans. Putting an end to all ‘offensive’ imagery depicting Native Americans does little to no good when these same Native Americans are suffering in this country in ways far more vast than any damage mascots could inflict. My great grandfather, who was Chief of the Tuscarora Tribe, used to wear the Illini Chief logo around the reservation on which he lived. My father, member of the Mohawk Tribe, wears his favorite shirt, one on which the Illini Chief is depicted proudly. These are only a couple of instances in which I am personally aware of what some Native American’s feelings are toward this subject, however there are many more instances across the country of Native Americans coming out in support of some of the Native American Mascots. In Arizona, a Navajo High School made headlines when it came out as a supporter and defender of the Washington Redskins. They also reject the claim that this mascot is offensive to their people. While this may be a shock to some people who are convinced that these mascots are offensive, this behavior is actually not uncommon among Natives. When asked about Native American mascots, Neely Tsoodle of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Arizona has said he does not want to see all Native American mascots eliminated, as that would eliminate part of Native American’s footprint on American culture. It is almost more offensive that Native Americans, who do support Native American mascots, are bullied into finding something offensive that doesn’t offend them. It is more offensive that people who are in no way affiliated with Native Americans are the same people who so morally oppose these mascots. They are the same people who are trying to tell Native Ameri-

When talking about mascots, people who are Native American should not be directed or pressured how to think or feel as if they were not enlightened enough to be offended. Native Americans are perfectly capable of making their own decisions regarding what they are and are not offended by — and even if this were to include Native American mascots, they are capable of bringing these issues to light themselves. It does not make sense to be offended by everything that has to do with a particular heritage. Today, people seem to make an effort to be politically correct, sometimes to a fault.

Many minority members in this country would like the freedom to think and feel for themselves. They do not need other people; no matter how well meaning they are, to fight unnecessary battles for them. As someone who is Native American, I want the freedom to like the Chief and take pride in the fact that my school has incorporated Native American culture with higher education. Non-minorities need not take it upon themselves to shelter the feelings of minorities in an effort to remain bi-partisan and politically correct.

Easing gap between Christians and the LGBTQ community ALEX SWANSON Opinions columnist

T

uesday night, I went to church for the first time in a year or so to see a documentary: “For The Bible Tells Me So,” a film that focuses on the intersection of the LGBTQ community and American Christianity. Director Daniel Karslake and Executive Producer Michael A. Leppen both attended the screening at The First Presbyterian Church in Champaign to introduce the film and participate in a question and answer session. I’m not sure that I can effectively describe the aesthetic value of sitting in a church pew, under a big wooden cross, and watching a film advocating for LGBTQ acceptance when I have sat in many other church pews and listened to the preacher say that anything apart from heteronormativity is a sin. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t been to church in a while. I am, by no means, asserting that Christianity is synonymous with intolerance or

that it is directly responsible for American homophobia, in fact, just the opposite. But when discussing American sexualities, one has to consider the influence of Christian America. As recently as 2012, Christians made up 77 percent of the national population, and it’s no secret that many Americans have used the Bible as justification for perpetuating homophobic ideology. This documentary centers on the crucial distinction between a religion and its fundamentalists. “For the Bible Tells Me So” essentially remarks that much of the Bible-believing nation is misinterpreting the book in a dangerous way. The film painstakingly remarks that, for Christians, the Bible is the word of God through the word of humans and is therefore subject to the constraints of any other historical text. When reading, one has to consider context and etymology. The hypocritical nature of fundamentalists is considerable: If a Christian were to criticize homosexuality under the guise of religion, so too would they have to refrain

QUICK

from eating pork, getting tattoos or remarrying following a divorce. Yet, those societal happenings have somehow remained relatively uncriticized on a religious basis. This film, therefore, serves to remove the filter of extremism from the manner in which we often perceive the core values of American Christianity. The film notes that some Christian fundamentalists have been using the Bible as a way to violently denounce sociological groups throughout history including black Americans, women and now the LGBTQ community. This extremism, however, is not unique to Christianity. Particularly in light of the Islamic State-sponsored violence in France, Lebanon and Turkey over the past few days, it is imperative as ever that we recognize that extremism and fundamentalism are not representative of their respective religion in any greater sense. We must take care not to resist prejudice with prejudice. Indeed, discussions centered on love and acceptance are essential now as we look out onto a frightening and chaotic global scene. This documentary is, appro-

priately, hyper-focused on love, both in a spiritual and interpersonal sense. It firstly and importantly dispels the myth that being gay is a choice or changeable. It then ultimately asserts that, despite current tensions, the conciliation of American Christian Churches and LGBTQ, Christian individuals can eventually become normalized throughout the nation. That hope is critical for the eventual eradication of homophobia. American Christianity has forever held immense influence on our social politics. It has continually guided our conception of national morality. Anti-gay churches are not Christian. That serves to show that Christianity is not biblical fundamentalism. It also shows that one of the greatest antiLGBTQ societal pressures in America is groundless. It, therefore, holds the agency necessary to alter prevailing public opinion on sexuality. For that reason, I can only recommend that anyone reading this article take the time to watch the documentary.

How we found our new favorite show

Amy, Tina and Bruce are coming to town

Charlie Sheen announces HIV-positive diagnosis

Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, the creators of the beloved comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” have announced that they have just sold another sitcom to CBS. The show, called “New York Mythological,” will similarly be set in Manhattan, but this series will center around a woman who, upon moving to the Big Apple, gets swept up in its magic. Hopefully we can see a bit of the “How I Met Your Mother” comedy in it.

OK. When we were reminded of the upcoming “Saturday Night Live” Christmas episode, we were already excited. However, now that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have been announced as the hosts, we’re absolutely buzzing with excitement. Overflowing with holiday cheer doesn’t even begin to describe how absolutely joyous we feel — especially considering that Bruce Springsteen is the musical guest. Here’s hoping for a “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” revamp.

Charlie Sheen announced a few days ago on the “Today Show” to announce that he is positive for HIV and has been living with it for about four years. To Sheen during this time: We are sincerely sorry and wish for the best for you during this time. More than any jokes people can make, we should remember first and foremost the gravity of this diagnosis and offer our support instead — not only for Sheen, but for HIV/AIDS positive patients everywhere.

Duo Odesza in Chicago

Odesza talks inspirations, music, goals and success BY ALICE SMELYANSKY FEATURES EDITOR

American electronic duo Odesza is only a few years out of college and already attracting a large following with shows sold out throughout the U.S. This Saturday, Nov. 21, the duo — Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight — will play at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The Daily Illini spoke with Knight about being young, performing in front of huge audiences and Odesza’s upcoming show. The Daily Illini: What are the influences you and Harrison draw upon? Clayton Knight: Yeah, well, we have a wide range of different influences. We listen to a lot of stuff from world music, to soul music, to heavy electronic music … We’re all over the map. I mean really it comes like a day-to-day basis. You know whatever we’re feeling… It’s just kind of what’s going on in my head at the moment and what we’re listening to at the time. DI: Your U.S. tour is selling out, and it’s clear that you guys really resonate with college-aged students. Why do you think that is? CK: I’m not sure. Me and Harrison are nearly the same age as a lot of you kids. I think the sound, it’s got a unique vibe, it’s a little new. It’s something the kids are looking for. I’m not sure what aspect of the sound that is. I think it’s a little bit of a pop element, but it also incorporates a lot of different sounds and instrumentation. So I think the combination of the pop world with all this cool, exotic instrumentation creates a unique style, and I think people really connect with that. DI: Who were some of the artists that you were listening to in college? CK: When I was in college, I was listening to a lot of weird stuff. Probably a lot of stuff you’ve never heard of. A lot of it was European…maybe you’ve heard of M83, I’m a huge fan of him. Animal Collective, I was a big fan of and still am a fan of … I could go on for days. DI: So you guys aren’t that much older than the audiences you perform for. Do you ever look out into the audience when you’re on stage and wonder how you got here? CK: I’ve never thought of that. It is kind of a weird process. It’s been a short amount of time. But we’ve just been working so hard, and we just try to get in the music world, doing shows and try to make people happy. I haven’t really thought about how we got here, just kind of doing it one day at a time. DI: What are some of the thoughts that run through your mind before you get on stage? CK: I’m usually pretty excited. I used to get pretty nervous, that’s kind of faded, I’ve gotten better at it. But I used to be scared, super scared to go out there because I’m not a public-speaking person by any means. Over the years I’ve gotten

They will be playing in the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago this Saturday. better at it. I’m usually just pretty relaxed, just kind of hanging backstage with the friends and getting excited about the show. DI: How did you deal with your nerves? CK: There were different ways of dealing with it, not all of them the healthiest way … but I stopped doing that. It was just kind of a matter of time, and overcoming it and breathing, relaxing a little bit. I used to not even look at the crowd. I would just have my head down because I was too scared to look at what people were doing. But that’s gotten a lot better now. I like interacting with the crowd now, I love seeing them, talking with them and seeing everyone have a good time. DI: You obviously still have a lot of time to leave your mark on the music world, but if there had to be one thing you wanted to leave, what would it be? CK: Wow, yeah, that’s a tough one. I’m not sure if there’s any one thing I could even pinpoint. I think we just want to make music we really want to make. And I hope we are able to keep doing that. A lot of artists reach a point with a lot of people telling them what songs to write and how to write

them … and they kind of lose control of their creative edge that got them there in the fi rst place. So I hope we can retain that throughout our career. DI: Did you ever see yourself at a day job after graduation? CK: Me and Harrison started this project knowing that it was just a hobby after class and maybe we’d go on a tour, do some shows, have some cool stories. And then once that ended, we’d go back to doing whatever we were going to do before … but the shows kept coming, more and more people kept listening and we just kept doing it. So we defi nitely did not see any of this. DI: So you guys will be performing in Chicago this Saturday. What can audiences who go to the show anticipate to see? CK: We got a lot of new music. A whole bunch of new production. So it’ll be pretty much a new show. A lot of people may have seen us before, but it’ll be a lot of new things going on, so look forward to that.

Cyber Monday

Since the start of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has become known as Black Friday — the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season. Over the years, a breed of devoted customers have been known to form lines outside storefronts on Thanksgiving Day, gearing up for their bargainday battle, regardless of rain or snow. Yet the long lines, chaotic parking lots and 50-percent-off deals have become more of a spectacle to those who choose to stay home, and surveys show that fewer shoppers participate each year. According to a National Retail Federation survey, last year’s sales were estimated at $50.9 billion, an 11.3 percent decrease from 2013 projections, and a 5 percent decrease in overall shoppers who visited stores. In addition to avoiding the lines and doorbuster deals, Danielle Komsky, a senior in LAS, is questioning the ethical basis of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping by boycotting the two days altogether. “Before, I wasn’t against (Black Friday) because it used to start at 2 or 3 in the morning and that was after (Thanksgiving) dinner, so if you wanted to stay up late you could do that,” Komsky said. “But now, big corporate businesses are opening up at 5 p.m. (on Thanksgiving), and I think that’s just crazy. What are these people doing for Thanksgiving dinner? Are you skipping dinner altogether to camp outside of a store to get a good place in line?

Are you not spending time with your family? It takes away from the whole concept of Thanksgiving.” Komsky’s views are becoming more popular with other consumers shopping less every year, but even when customers choose not to support Black Friday, they’re mainly focusing on big box retail stores, rather than local establishments. This transition has the potential to hurt local business. To counteract this issue, a new movement that started in 2010, Small Business Saturday, encourages holiday shoppers to frequent their small, local establishments. Because big box retail stores drive Black Friday sales, many shoppers forget that their local establishments are participating in Black Friday, too. Small Business Saturday insinuates that Black Friday doesn’t apply to local businesses though, when in fact many local stores do participate. Shira Epstein, who co-owns Champaign Surplus with her husband Dan, has found that their customers have a relaxed experience when shopping in their store. “Historically, we were always open (on Black Friday), but we never made a big to-do about it, deferring to the big boxes of the world in the past,” said Epstein, who has had the business in her family since 1947. “But when my husband and I bought the business from my parents, we started to do specials on Black Friday, so it is a big day of the year for us, and our customers seem to like it.” For individuals like Komsky, she

said she often forgets that local businesses do participate in Black Friday, establishments that lack long lines and an overwhelming crowd, qualities that Komsky said could convince her to shop local on Black Friday. Meredith Herbert, manager of three years at Apricot Lane, said the store values the opportunity for their employees to spend time with their family on Thanksgiving; therefore, they will only be open on Friday. Herbert said this is made possible because they are a family-owned boutique and not a corporate business. “There actually are jobs in the economy when you support your local business and not just a big national

chain store,” Epstein said. “We try to give back to the community as much as we can, and we defi nitely feel that our customers support us in that same way.” Epstein hopes customers will shop local on more days than just Black Friday. “There’s increasing awareness all around town with the amazing local businesses that are here in Champaign-Urbana, and if we can try to shop that more, not just during the crazy Thanksgiving shopping weekend but throughout the whole year,” Epstein said.

Two years ago, Illinois had only four wins. Ferguson has grown a lot as a player and so have his classmates. Going into the last two weeks of the regular season, these 21 players are looking to send Illinois to a bowl game — and play an extra 30 days. When the team found out head coach Tim Beckman had been fired only a week before the season’s start, all the coaches left the team meeting. Seniors Ted Karras, Josh Ferguson and a few other guys stood up to

excited in the first half that cramps overtook his body and he needed an IV. By the time the second half came around, he was fine. With sweat dripping down his face in practice this week, he laughed at that memory, thinking about how he’ll return to that field to face No. 20 Northwestern in just two weeks. Along with the other members in his senior class, he’s taken on a leadership role that has been necessary with this season’s changes.

Women’s basketball prepared to beat Tennessee-Martin BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER

No matter what team she is facing, Chatrice White attacks every opponent with the same mentality. “A team is a team,” the Illinois women’s basketball center said. “We’re going to prepare the same way as if we’re going to prepare for Maryland.” This Saturday, Illinois (2-0) hosts Tennessee-Martin (1-1) at Parkland College. Tennessee-Martin has a little over 7,000 students enrolled and competes athletically in the Ohio Valley Conference. But Illinois put them on the schedule for a reason. After starting last season 4-9, the Skyhawks went on an 18-game winning streak. Tennessee-Martin finished 22-11, 16-0 in conference, and lost in the first round of the NIT Tournament. The Skyhawks were one win away from a

trip to the NCAA Tournament, but lost to Tennessee State in the Ohio Valley Tournament championship game. The Skyhawks drained 18 three-pointers in their season-opener. Last Sunday, they lost by six points to No. 23 Iowa. Illinois head coach Matt Bollant expects Saturday’s game to be a challenge for the Illini. “They’re similar to Ohio, in regards that they’re a really talented team with a different style of play,” Bollant said. “They led Iowa in the second half. (They’re) a team that can really shoot the ball, really pass the ball, so we’ll have to make some adjustments there.” While, Tennessee-Martin is averaging 70 points per game, Illinois’ defense may pose a threat to that average. Opponents are averaging 44.5 points per game against the Illini. They recorded 19 steals against Chicago State and

five blocks against Ohio — White had four of those blocks. Illinois’ three defensive sets — man, zone and buzz — help it adjust to whatever the opponent’s offense may throw at them. With a strong perimeter-shooting team like Tennessee-Martin, Illinois may start with its buzz defense and swarm the Skyhawk ball handlers in an attempt to force turnovers. Offensively, Illinois’ inside game may be threatened by Tennessee-Martin’s post players. With forward Simone Law still out due to injury, Illinois is limited to White and 6-foot-1-inch freshman Alex Wittinger. Tennessee-Martin has four forwards who measure in at 6 feet or taller. White, averaging 17.5 points and 13 rebounds a game, will be challenged. But Bollant thinks both White and Wittinger will be fine. “We’re not going to play many teams that are as good at the five as Chatrice is,” Bollant said. “(She will be fine because she is) able to step out and shoot it, she can pass, so it will be interesting to see, I think most teams are going to double-team her and so she’ll have to pass and find other people as well.” Wittinger struggled with foul trouble against Chicago State, but Bollant believes that her nerves got in the way and that she played better against Ohio. Bollant will try to utilize senior guards Kyley Simmons and Sarah Hartwell. The two are averaging 13.5 and nine points per game, respectively. After scoring 14 points in the season opener, Hartwell struggled against Ohio, scoring four points on 2-for-8 shooting. Hartwell said as long as she stays mentally prepared and confident she can improv her scoring and help her team win on Saturday. “We just have to prepare like we always prepare and just get ready for this weekend,” Hartwell said.

Football faces off with Minnesota Illini aiming for a bowl game, must win one of two BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

Illinois football head coach Bill Cubit knows what his players have in mind heading into the Illini’s game against Minnesota on Saturday. He’s heard the talk between players and some of the coaches: They want to go back to a bowl game. Some players have specific goals: offensive lineman Ted Karras wants to win eight games this season. Others just want the experience of going to a bowl game after a season filled with off-thefield headlines. Cubit knows about the talk, but he won’t bring it up with the team.

SENIORS to Mike Thomas’ departure, this senior class is especially close. Quarterback Wes Lunt said the younger members of the team want to earn a bowl berth for their seniors who’ve pushed them since the beginning. After the Penn State loss, he said it was the older guys who kept saying that there was a whole season ahead and not to worry. “When they speak, people listen, and they’ve been really good leaders throughout the year because of that.” Making a bowl game has been a team goal since the beginning, and now, only one win away from that opportunity, Karras doesn’t want to miss out on a fi nal road trip. “If we don’t make it to a bowl, it’s kind of like a failed season in a way,” Karras said. Head coach Bill Cubit makes sure that the seniors are the first in line when the team goes to get food. “I sit there and admire ‘em, the kids and what they’ve gone through,” Cubit said. “They just keep on plugging.

That says a lot about those kids.” Some have had as many as five different position coaches, and some were a part of a two-win season in 2012. But most of them aren’t ready for it to end. “ It ’s bit te r s we e t ,” Fejedelem said. “We get to be here (Memorial Stadium) practicing every day, but never have the opportunity to win here again. I’m not emotional about it now, but I’m sure in time, it’ll catch up with me.” For Karras, the Solider Field game is a culmination of his career. His dad and uncle played for Northwestern. His grandfather played for the Bears. He went to plenty of Bears games there as a kid. And now Karras will play potentially his last game as an Illini on that field in front of family and friends. “I don’t get too sentimental if we lose. Like this last game at Memorial, I didn’t get too sentimental with the loss. But that will be a pretty emotional game. It’s all coming together for the last hoorah.”

BOWL GAME Illini must win one of their remaining two games to become bowl eligible. While “winning the next one” is always a team’s first priority, quarterback Wes Lunt admitted that the postseason is something the Illini are thinking about. “We want to make it to a bowl game, that’s on our mind,” Lunt said. “To get there, we have to focus on today and worry about Saturday when it gets here.” Standing in the way of Illinois reaching its sixth win is a team that might’ve experienced as much adversity as Illinois. Minnesota’s off-the-field issues started in August when former Athletic Director Norwood Teague resigned suddenly because of sexual harassment incidents involving non-student university employees. The university has an interim director while the school searches for a new leader. The adversity continued when head coach Jerry Kill suddenly retired on Oct. 28 due to health conditions. Kill has battled seizures after being diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in 2005 — even with the cancer in remission, the seizures have continued. Defensive Coordinator Tracy Claeys took over and has the team

challenge.” Lunt and the offense will try to rebound after a bad performance against Ohio State. Minnesota ranks seventh in the Big Ten in total defense, 12th in rush defense and fifth in pass defense. Cubit said that freshman running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn is highly questionable for the game after suffering a concussion against the Buckeyes. Henry Enyenihi might play against the Gophers depending on how he practices. Illinois’ defense will try to limit a Minnesota offense that has dealt with injuries too. Quarterback Mitch Leidner has thrown for 2,167 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions and can also run outside the pocket, rushing for 177 yards and five touchdowns. The Illini will need to play against a competitive Minnesota team that needs to win its final two games to become bowl eligible. Playing in a bowl game is their goal, and they’d like to have that squared away before the last game of the season. “Let’s take care of business, that’s what I want to do,” Karras said. “Just take care of business and play loose against Northwestern in our last game that we’re going to be confident heading in to.”

Cubit’s career at Illinois could hinge on Minnesota game PETER BAILEY-WELLS Sports editor

If

prior to the 2015 Illinois football season, you had told me Minnesota would be the biggest game of Bill Cubit’s career, I would have probably laughed at you. But the Illini will travel to Minneapolis for the game of Cubit’s life — win and his team is bowl eligible, or lose and likely lose all opportunity for another season at Illinois’ helm. So here we stand, with Ohio State in the rearview and the Golden Gophers staring the Illini square in the face. This game is the more winnable of the two remaining games on Illinois’ schedule and with the home team riding a four-game losing streak, the Illini must strike while the iron is cold. Because it will be cold up there this weekend: Saturday’s high is 30. Journalists disown their colleagues who use weather leads, but it seems like every game at TCF Bank Stadium

deserves one. The Illini have not played a game in inclement weather yet this season — the worst was a misting when the Cornhuskers came to town — so Saturday will be lots of fun for those kids who came to Champaign from Florida and California. Wes Lunt said Monday that despite the weather, he’d probably opt not to wear the gloves that he donned late last season in cold-weather games. Teddy Karras explained to me how he will never wear sleeves, no matter how chilly, and Clayton Fejedelem said he fl at out doesn’t think about the weather. But all meteorology aside, in one weird way, this program has come full circle. The 2014 Minnesota game saved Tim Beckman’s job — at least with regards to last season — and this year’s game could save Cubit’s job. Now, he’s not guaranteed the spot if he beats the Gophers, but getting this team bowl eligible would be a real boost to his resume. The new athletic director and the University’s Board of Trustees may want to go in another direction, but Cubit has

the support of his players and to some extent, his fan base. If he makes a bowl game — and even more so if he wins one — his claim to the job is a pretty strong one. Combine that with the job opportunities out there at the end of this season — Miami, Mizzou and USC, just to name a few — and the Illini administration might have to go with Cubit simply by default if he can muster a win against Minnesota. The Northwestern game will be a fun one, but that’s not a game that Illinois has a good chance of winning, what with the strength of the Wildcats’ defense and the fact that the game is in Chicago. So it’s on, Bill. Show us what you’ve got. In the last few weeks you’ve talked a lot about how you want the job, now go out and show it. These players have loyalty, that’s for sure. Now, for a second year in a row, they need to beat Minnesota to try and keep their coach around. TYLER COURTNEY | THE DAILY ILLINI

Defensive back V’Angelo Bentley dives to break up a pass during the game at Ross-Ade Stadium against Purdue on Nov. 7. Minnesota looks to KJ Maye when they need to move the chains or score. As Minnesota’s leading receiver, Maye has had 56 catches for 630 yards. Thirty-six of those receptions have resulted in a first down or touchdown. Maye stands at 5 feet 10 inches, which bodes well for V’Angelo Bentley, who is the same height. Bentley has had to deal with some

receivers who are taller than him, so the fact that Maye is who he has to cover is important. Bentley and the other defensive backs only gave up 157 receiving yards to Ohio State and did well in one-on-one matchups. For this Minnesota team, the Mitch Leidner to Maye connection becomes crucial if the Gophers’ running game cannot get going.

Interim head coach Bill Cubit watches the play from the sidelines during the game against Ohio State Saturday at Memorial Stadium. I

The Illinois defense played admirably against Ohio State, but couldn’t pull off the upset. Part of the reason was because it could not stop Ezekiel Elliott and J.T. Barrett on the ground. The two combined for 271 rush yards, three touchdowns on 6.3 yards per carry. Minnesota is ranked 12th in the conference in rushing

Cubit wants to be like Tracy Claeys — he wants the word interim to be removed from his title. Reaching a bowl game might erase that label. Minnesota stands at 4-6, Illinois is 5-5. If the Golden Gophers lose, they are out of bowl contention. If the Illini lose, they have one last shot against a strong Northwestern team

offense. Despite that, it had a fairly good rushing day against Iowa, whose rushing defense ranks ninth in the nation. Running back Shannon Brooks and quarterback Mitch Leidner combined for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Hawkeyes, who had only given up three rush touchdowns prior to that game.

in Soldier Field. Both teams desperately want to go to a bowl game, both teams have gone through a great deal of adversity and it may all come down to this Saturday. A big win could mean that Cubit receives an extension. A loss, however, could lead the Illinois athletic department to woo other potential candidates.

Q & A with a Minnesota Daily editor Editor’s note: Every week, The Daily Illini football staff will chat with a sports editor or football beat reporter from an opposing school’s paper. Up this week is The Minnesota Daily sports editor Ben Gotz. His answers have been edited for space. The Daily Illini: What has this football season been like at Minnesota? Ben Gotz: The Minnesota football season has fallen short of fan’s expectations so far, though that’s mainly due to a myriad of injuries and of course a change at the head coaching position . The team entered the year with dreams of contending for the Big Ten West Division title, but close calls in the non-conference season and disap-

pointing losses to Northwestern and Nebraska shot those dreams down. With just two weeks left in the season, the team is simply fighting for bowl eligibility. DI: How big of a shock was it that Jerry Kill resigned? How important was he to the program? BG: Jerry Kill’s retirement came as a surprise because publicly it seemed that his health problems were behind him. There was a lot of shock from both players and the rest of the coaching staff when he announced he was leaving the program. He was the emotional heart of the team and engendered a tremendous amount of loyalty from his players and his staff. His coaching staff spent a combined 141 years work-

ing under him, so it’ll be interesting to see how they move forward without him. DI: What kind of coach is Tracy Claeys? BG: Tracy Claeys is known as a great defensive schemer who turned the Gophers around defensively. The former mathematics major really enjoys the “X’s and O’s” part of football, though now he’s taken on a larger responsibility with the team. He’s already shown he’s willing to be aggressive in key situations, like when he played for the win instead of overtime against Michigan and OK’d a halfback pass against Iowa. DI: Was it a surprise that Claeys was promoted? BG: No, the University truly had few better

options. There is no permanent athletics director in place, so the program wouldn’t be able to hire a new head coach until a new one is in place, and that might take several months. The program had been on an upward trajectory under Kill and it made sense to give Claeys a chance to see if he could carry that forward rather than starting new months down the road. DI: Minnesota has been involved in a lot of close games lately. What has been the main obstacle in winning those games? BG: The Gophers’ last three games have all been close losses, though those were games against three of the conference’s top teams in Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa . Minnesota was not as talented as

any of those teams, so it’s a credit to Claeys and his staff that the team was competitive in all three. Claeys did not manage the clock correctly at the end of the Michigan game, however, which cost his team precious plays. The defense also failed to travel against Iowa, giving up over 500 yards and 40 points in the loss. DI: What type of quarterback is Mitch Leidner? Is the offense pass heavy? BG: M i n n e s o t a’s offense has passed more in recent weeks as Leidner has grown on the fi eld. The junior started off the year much-maligned for his throwing ability, but starting with the team’s game against Nebraska, Leidner seems to be growing in confi dence

and ability. The team’s offense was built around the running game for most of Kill’s tenure, but now Leidner is shouldering more of the burden throwing to targets like wide receiver KJ Maye and tight end Brandon Lingen. DI: Who should Wes Lunt and the Illinois offense be concerned about? BG: The team’s best players on defense that will suit up against Illinois are its seniors in the secondary: cornerbacks Eric Murray and Briean Boddy-Calhoun and safety Antonio Johnson. Boddy-Calhoun missed two games earlier in the year with an injury, but the team’s experienced leaders on the back end normally set the tone for the Gophers defense.

Schneider heads to NCAA Championships Runner has All-American dreams BY MIKE GASICK STAFF WRITER

Saturday, Illinois women’s cross-country runner Alyssa Schneider will put a close to her cross-country career at the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. Schneider said that she is thankful for the opportunity to have her final race be at the national championships competition. “I am extremely grateful for everyone who has helped me get to this level in my time here,” Schneider said. “It is great to see it all come together at the end.” Understanding that many of the best college runners in the country will be at the race, Schneider said she knows she will have to stay focused to continue her recent run of success. Head coach Scott Jones has kept Schneider from any vigorous or high-intensity activities, hoping to keep her as fresh as possible heading into Saturday. Jones said he knows that Schneider’s experience will help her through the race and give her

When: Saturday 11:00 a.m./Louisville, Kentucky. Quick note: Schneider raced the Louisville course three years ago as a sophomore. Hidden Stat: Schneider finished 93rd at the NCAA Championships two years ago. an advantage over some of the less experienced athletes. Jones hopes this strategy will not interfere with Schneider’s personal goal for the race. Arriving at the University of Illinois as a freshman, Schneider’s long-term cross-country goal was to achieve All-American status by the end of her collegiate career. Runners must place within the top 40 at the NCAA Championships race to be granted All-American status. Schneider competed in the NCAA Championships two years ago, when she finished with a time of 21 minutes and 16 seconds for the 6k course, good for 93rd overall. “If (Schneider) does what she is capable of, certainly being an AllAmerican is entirely realistic,” Jones said.

Alyssa Schneider stays ahead of the competition at the Illini Challenge 2015 at the Arboretum on Sept. 4. This year’s competition will be held at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park, a course Schneider ran in her sophomore year. The Illini competed at the course earlier this year, but because of a lingering injury, Schneider

was held out for precautionary reasons, but she knows what type of terrain to expect. Schneider’s teammates who are able to make the trip down to Louisville will be in attendance to cheer for

her on the course. “It really means so much to me to have that support system backing me up,” Schneider said. Schneider is confident that she can put forth enough effort to achieve the All-American goal

JOVANIE DE LA CRUZ THE DAILY ILLINI

she set for herself as a freshman. She knows there is the competitive side to qualifying for a national race, but she mentioned that this is a fun week as well because of the support she has been given

from her teammates and coach. “I’m just really enjoying the moment,” Schneider said. “I’m just trying to soak it all in.”

Men’s wheelchair basketball coach goes to Japan Coach Buchi led the Under-30 team USA BY THOMAS POLCYN STAFF WRITER

One of the better opportunities that a coach or player can receive is to represent their country in international competition. This past week, men’s wheelchair basketball coach Matt Buchi got that chance.

Though it is still an honor, Buchi has plenty of prior experience coaching Team USA. He has been involved with USA basketball since 2009, and he was an assistant coach for the women’s team in the London 2012 Paralympic cycle. A fter succeeding with the women’s team, Buchi was asked to apply for the men’s coaching position. He got the job and hasn’t looked back. This time around Buchi took the USA Under-30 developmen-

tal team to Kitakyushu, Japan to participate in the Kitakyushu Champions’ Cup. The group of players included athletes from all over the country, mostly with little or no prior experience with Team USA basketball. “The players were mostly not part of the USA player pool yet,” Buchi said. “The guys on this team are more looking at being a part of the player pool for Tokyo in 2020 . When we select the teams for the Tokyo Paralympics, many of these players

will be the guys that are considered.” Competition in the tournament included teams from USA, Japan, Great Britain and Korea. Though it was considered a “friendly” tournament, Buchi said the games were competitive. “We didn’t really have the performance that we wanted to have,” Buchi said. “It was tough, but we had a good time with it and were able to show a lot of new guys what it’s like to play for Team USA.”

Among those playing for Buchi were two very familiar faces — former Illini Ryan Juguan and current Illini Derek Hoot. “(Having Derek and Ryan) really helped out a lot,” Buchi said. “There were some older and younger players there who weren’t really used to my system, so I really relied on those guys to help out and talk with the others. It was a lot of fun to have them out there.” Buchi said the experience will be especially beneficial to Hoot, who

will be playing for the Illini this weekend at Wisconsin-Whitewater. “I think this experience is going to really help out Derek’s game,” Buchi said. “He was one of our top scorers in every game out there. It’s huge to do that internationally and I think it’s really going to improve his confidence and physicality.” In addition to the experience his players gained, Buchi is excited for the recruiting benefit. “The more of our athletes and staff from Illi-

nois that we get out into the national team program, the easier it is to recruit athletes and bring more in,” Buchi said. “Us being a part of these programs looks great for prospective recruits, so it is always nice to have our guys there.” Buchi a nd Hoot returned to practice Wednesday, and are ready for a quick turn around as Illinois competes heads to Wisconsin this weekend.
