UI to increase funding for humanities BY MARYCATE MOST STAFF WRITER
As part of the administration’s Strategic Plan, the University will begin to allot more funds to the humanities, beginning with a 50 percent increase to the Humanities and Arts Scholar Support program, Chancellor Phyllis Wise said. In the past, this program has given $1,000 to each professor within Humanities and Arts programs, said dean of FAA Ed Feser. This year, each professor will receive $1,500. Feser said that although most programs at the University saw their budgets cut over the past decade, cuts to Humanities and Arts has an especially large impact. “The programs that are able to self-generate revenue, those programs tend to naturally succeed on their own,” he said. “Those that are not able to generate revenue — those whose business model doesn’t
generate a lot of overhead and doesn’t generate a lot of flexible funding — rely more on the central funds.” In addition to the extra funding going to professors under the Humanities and Arts Scholar Support program, Wise also said the University is starting to pay more attention to faculty within the colleges of LAS and FAA. “We know we have to increase faculty salaries, particularly in LAS and FAA, because we know we haven’t paid enough attention to those faculty,” Wise said at the annual meeting of the faculty on Oct. 29. This year, FAA and LAS will have the opportunity to start hiring more faculty, which had been cut back severely due to budget cuts, Feser said. In past years, FAA has seen an increase in students per facul-

This particular program will take place over the next five years and will offer aid in Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya, said Bruce White, the program director for Catholic Relief Services. The College of ACES, along with the Food Resource Bank, National Catholic Rural Life Conference, National Association of Agricultural Educators and American Agri-Women, will
seek volunteers to travel to these countries. “They can help farmers move from subsistence production to getting into higher value commercial activities, for example being able to work towards being a supplier for agribusiness, or for the export market, or even a market in a larger city within that country,” said Rolin Oliver Ferguson, ACES’ international program coordinator, in an email. “This can raise farm incomes and by increasing farmer incomes you can positively impact their household well

Walking down Green Street, students are likely to encounter some of Champaign’s homeless, people who don’t have the funds to give and receive gifts this holiday season. But starting Dec. 9, students can help them by participating in the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen’s Back Pack Project. Participants should fill backpacks with toiletries, cold weather items and other goods, according to the soup kitchen’s website. The backpacks should be labeled with the gender and size of the recipient, and children’s backpacks should be labeled by gender and age of the child. The Daily Bread’s goal is to donate 1,000 backpacks, which will be distributed on Dec. 19 along with a sack lunch. Filled backpacks can be dropped off at Ellen Harms’ home, 705 S. Elm Blvd.; Pam Hagle’s home, 713 S. Elm Blvd.; or at the Daily Bread, 124 W. White St., starting Dec. 9. “As a student, you see many of the people that we serve,” said Ellen Harms, board member
of the Daily Bread. “We think that so many of the people we feed, the backpacks are the only Christmas gifts they have. They’re really delighted to get a backpack because they’re full of things they use.” Harms said that although some might be “horrified” at receiving deodorant or lotion for the holidays, those who are homeless would appreciate these items. “For the people we see every day, they can’t run to CVS and buy lotion. People come in all the time asking for socks, hats and mittens. I think (donating a backpack) is a very heartwarming thing to do,” Harms said. Volunteers will sort and organize the backpacks on Dec. 18. Harms encourages students to donate backpacks in order to get involved in the community. “I think that college is a wonderful four years, but it’s kind of an unreal world and it’s important to get out of that every now and then and see what’s happening around you,” Harms said. Antoniya Ilieva, junior in
AHS, is the project coordinator of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega and volunteers at the soup kitchen often. She said she would like her fraternity to get involved in this project. “I definitely want to help. I feel like it’s a good way to help guests (of the kitchen) and I think it’s a yearly thing and would be good for us to contribute. We have available resources to help,” Ilieva said. Nick Davis, senior in Media, has been volunteering at the Daily Bread for three years, and encourages students to volunteer because of the experience. “It’s a volunteer experience where you’re not just volunteering. You’re also building friendships and knowing other volunteers and building relationships in the community,” he said. “A lot of people come to U of I and only know students, and these are all adults who have lived in Champaign and have lived all over and have these different experiences.”

UI team wins medical portion of MIT biology competition BY NYAJAI ELLISON STAFF WRITER
The University’s International Genetically Engineered Machine team won the Best Health and Medicine Project award in the undergraduate division of the 2013 international competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in early November. iGEM is the world’s largest competition based on synthetic biology, which is the design and construction of biological devices and utilities for various purposes. Synthetic biology is a marriage of technology and biology, and iGEM aims to further the future of the advancement of synthetic biology in the world. In the Health and Medicine category, 40 teams from around the world competed

with the University’s team of seven people, which was awarded best project in this category. Ashley Moy, sophomore in Engineering, was the University team’s administrative director of iGem. “I am so proud of all of the hard work my team has put into making a probiotic to fight cardiovascular disease.” Moy said. C ardiovascular disease refers to a collection of heartrelated diseases, one of which Moy said her grandmother had been diagnosed with. “I see her struggle on a daily basis, and when I told her about our project, she was so proud and hopeful for the future of medicine,” she said. In addition, the iGEM team and their work has had a personal impact on Susan McKenna, assistant director of

commu nic ations for the department of bioengineering. “The Illinois iGEM team and project mean something to me, personally, as I lost my father to heart disease 10 years ago, and I wish that didn’t have to happen to anyone.” McKenna said. “It is gratifying to see how excited and committed they are to the project — their effort encourages me to believe that they could one day fi nd a way to eliminate heart disease or, at the least, manage it to the point where it is no longer so serious and widespread.” Moy said she hopes to see their probiotic reach the market to help the hundreds of thousands of people affl icted with cardiovascular disease.

Semester at Sea program celebrates 50 years BY ALICE SMELYANSKY STAFF WRITER
From learning art history in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to entering the media outlets of Cape Town, South Africa, the students, faculty and staff aboard the MV Explorer see the world while sailing down the Atlantic Ocean. With 20 to 25 disciplines incorporated into the curriculum, a 9,000-volume library, a student union and countless other amenities, Semester at Sea creates a study abroad program on a fl oating university. Among those on board for the Atlantic Exploration 50th anniversary voyage is Eddie Diaz, 2001 University alumnus and dean of student life for the program. Though Diaz never imagined himself working in student affairs as an undergraduate, he worked with the Illini Union Board as program manager of student activities and at the Leadership Center after graduating. While working on his master’s degree in higher education administration at Loyola University Chicago, Diaz discovered Semester at Sea and decided to apply during his job search. He was hired as an associate dean for the fall 2009 voyage and instantly fell in love with the program. When asked to come aboard again this fall semester, Diaz was grateful for the opportunity.
“I think the beauty of this program is that you’re with so many different people,” Diaz said. “We have a tag line that says, ‘Our campus is the world.’ It’s not only on the ship, but from all over the world, depending on the voyage you do.” For both Diaz and professor Jessica Roberts, the beauty of the program also lies in the ability for students to immediately apply the knowledge they learn aboard the ship when stopping at a port. E ach c ou rse c onta i ns required fieldwork that is worth 20 percent of a student’s grade. For the journalism history and ethics course Roberts teaches, her students spend a day in Cape Town, South Africa, visiting the Cape Times and Bush Radio and interacting with professional journalists. “It’s like asking someone why they watch a movie,” Roberts said. “You could hear about the plot, you could fi nd it on Wikipedia, but that’s not the same as watching it and getting to actually be there and experience it. You might have an idea in your head of what Morocco is like, but to live it is a whole new thing.” Roberts words spoke true for Carl Hughes, an Oregon State University student who is aboard the ship. “Since I’ve been on the trip, this has defi nitely been the cra-
ziest, coolest, best experience that I’ve had so far in college,” Hughes said. “I still have two more years after this, but I’ll be hard pressed to fi nd anything that matches up to this.” So far, Hughes’ favorite port was in Ghana, when he visited Kofi Opoku, a man who compiles medical research for all of the different plants growing in his rainforest. Hughes was inspired by Opoku’s commitment to sharing his knowledge with the students and his passion for doing what he loves. In addition to the experiences the passengers have received on land, the ship itself allows for an interesting dynamic between students and faculty. “Every day I see my professors and I’ll sit down and I’ll eat lunch with them,” Hughes said. “Sometimes we’ll talk about class, but sometimes we’ll talk about something different. Either way, I’m learning from them.” Outside of the classroom, Roberts also teaches a CrossFit fitness class and is able to interact with students on a different level as well. “They see you as people more than just a sort of personalityless figure who shows up in class a couple times a week to spout information,” Roberts said. “It makes for a warmer environment. I really like my students and I know a lot of them in a

way that it’s impossible to know your students in a traditional university.” Every semester, the study abroad program hires new faculty and staff to keep the experience new and refreshing for all. Once this voyage debarks in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. on Dec. 16, Roberts will start her teach-
ing profession on land at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China. Hughes will continue his academic career at Oregon State University and Diaz will return back to Chicago. However, none of them is ready for it to end quite yet. “I think one of the challenges is just appreciating everything because it happens so
fast,” Roberts said. Diaz said he wishes he knew about the program as an undergraduate and encourages University students to speak with the Study Abroad Office and to visit semesteratsea.org to learn more information.

Georgia to consider state-wide tobacco ban at colleges BY JANEL DAVIS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
ATLANTA — Smokers’ days may be numbered on many of Georgia’s college campuses, as the state Board of Regents considers a total tobacco ban for all 31 institutions in the university system. The ban is being pushed by Regent Thomas Hopkins, an orthopedic surgeon from Griffi n who wants it to apply to students, staff and visitors. The proposal, which he would like the regents to discuss early next year, follows a national trend of similar bans — promoted as health initiatives — implemented at schools, parks, around hospitals and in restaurants. Last September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched a national tobacco-free college campus initiative to promote bans like Hopkins is proposing. The initiative counts more than 1,100 colleges and universities in its smoke-free fold. “Most of these kids start smoking at school because they think it looks cool, and they’re away from home and their parents,” Hopkins said. “But, it’s not healthy and I would hope we would do something about that.” The board is likely to have some opposition from students. Student smokers see the ban as an intrusion on their rights. “We’re paying to go to school, and we should be allowed to do

this. We’re not in high school anymore,” said Foster Bass, a botany student at Georgia Perimeter College. Bass and his friends were standing outside on a recent day, across from the cafeteria in an area where smoking is allowed on the college’s Clarkston campus. Many in the group had been smoking about a fourth of their lives. “This is not right, and this ban would be ridiculous,” said Matthew, 19, a computer engineering student at GPC who didn’t want to give his last name. “It would be just one more way of banning our freedom. I think they put too much emphasis on not smoking. This isn’t illegal. We’re not selling drugs.” Smoking in all enclosed state-owned or -leased facilities — including dorms and classrooms — is already banned in Georgia. The proposal before the regents would apply to outdoor spaces on campuses, said Valerie Hepburn, a former college president who is leading the overhaul of the University System of Georgia’s health benefits plan. Discussions about tobaccofree campuses have been ongoing since the university system launched its public health research and teaching programs in 2003, but this is the first time the regents will consider a system-wide ban. Details of how to implement
the ban have to be worked out, Hepburn said. A policy would have to be drafted, a compliance date would have to be set and the system would have to work with the schools and local health departments to provide students and staff with help to stop smoking and using tobacco. The university system does not have data on how many of its students smoke or use tobacco products. About 70 percent of college students nationwide reported that they had never smoked in the past three years of surveys conducted by the American College Health Association. In the most recent survey completed this spring, almost 14 percent of students reported smoking cigarettes within the previous 30 days. Hopkins already has support for his proposal from incoming Regents Chairman Philip Wilheit. Wilheit, president of a packaging products company headquartered in Gainesville, implemented a tobacco ban at his office three years ago. “I think it is the wave of the future,” he said. “I think as regents we have a responsibility to our students to do what’s best for them and their health.” Various schools within the university system already have some sort of smoking or tobacco ban. Some schools outlaw all tobacco products, and others allow students to smoke in designated areas that
kind of institutional support that most interests me — not letting our talent go elsewhere.” If salaries stagnate, Perry said he believes the college’s most valuable employees may fi nd other, more lucrative teaching positions. Feser similarly noticed how a lack of funding could create a decrease in the quality of education at the University as a whole. “If the University doesn’t want to become bi-dimensional, it needs to counter that so that it or school for that,” said Kelsey Day, the communications and resource development coordinator for Food Resource Bank. “They know their land, they know their crops, they know their weather patterns ... But of course if you’re a smallholder African farmer who has never been trained in soil science, you might not know about micronutrients or how that affects the yield of the plant.” White said they are looking for

The state of Georgia is considering a state-wide smoking ban at colleges. are specified distances from common areas. Wilheit is unsure how the ban would be implemented at outdoor athletic facilities. Some facilities already have tobacco policies in place. All areas of the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium are tobacco-free, and smoking is
also prohibited in Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium. But one thing Wilheit isn’t for: designated smoking areas. And what about those students, like Bass, who say they’re adults and ought to be able to do what they want? “They can do what they want, but they can’t do it
on our campuses,” Hopkins said. Outside the university system, higher education institutions vary on their tobacco policies. Emory implemented a full tobacco ban last year, while Clark Atlanta University allows smoking in some designated outdoor areas.
doesn’t become just a technical university,” Feser said. “I think the University is recognizing that it wants to be fully comprehensive and that even if you are a major in natural sciences or engineering, you need to have access to the kinds of concepts that are taught in humanities.” The Office of the Provost will also support two more senior faculty hires this year — one in English and one in philosophy, said campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler in an email.
These hires are essential, not only for humanities majors, but also for every student’s general education. “They teach crucial and large numbers of general education classes,” Kaler said. “A major factor is providing courses that fi ll general education requirements and help students achieve a broad liberal arts education, no matter what specific major they choose.” Feser is hopeful that by offering students outside of FAA —
specifically within Engineering — more opportunities to become involved in the arts, the University will be able to increase support and awareness for their programs. “The other thing we want to do is integrate arts education and learning with engineering education,” Feser said. “This would help students be more creative in the scientific work that they are doing.” Perry also sees this increase in support for humanities as a
way for the University to reinforce the goals of the strategic plan. “Probably 90 percent of humanities faculty see their work as related to social equality and cultural understanding,” Perry said. “Having that as one of the Visioning Future Excellence themes gives an indication about what the University is thinking about the humanities.”
volunteers with a variety of specialties in the agricultural sectors, from professors to farmers to master gardeners. The volunteers do not need overseas experience or many years in the field, as White is hoping to see younger people, including graduate students, apply. “We are looking for people who basically have some good knowhow and good experience in doing agriculture within their setting,” White said. “We’re looking for
people who love agriculture and have become successful in their own lives, and we’d like to share that experience.” Catholic Relief Services received a grant from the Agency for International Development for the program to identify the communities in Africa and their needs. Catholic Relief Services will connect volunteers with local groups that will link the volunteer to their pupils. White sees this program as a
way to help share some of the advancements in agriculture with the rest of the world. “We have a very diverse agricultural sector in this country, and there are innovations popping up all over the place,” White said, “And what a great way to take some of those innovations, take some of those experiences and share them with our programming overseas and with the communities that we work with.” In addition to providing tech-
nical support, the program helps bring the farmers closer together. “The fact that the U.S. farmer, or agribusiness person would come overseas, spend two weeks in the village and really focus on helping someone in a completely different part of the world is also a fairly large piece of encouragement and support that these African farmers will get,” Day said.

New food pantries address overlooked student population’s need for healthy, nutritious food
N
early 1.9 million Illinoisans lack access to nutritious foods, according to Feeding Illinois, an organization focusing on hunger-relief charity. But according to U.S. Census data, 21.8 percent of residents in Champaign County are living under the poverty line, well above the Illinois average of 13.1 percent. But students are often the forgotten demographic regarding poverty and hunger — they need the help just as much. Food pantries are generally geared toward serving the homeless and low-income populations that are typically in need of meals. But it’s not often that a food pantry is created specifically to meet the needs of students, a group overlooked when considering those who are usually serviced by food pantries. In September, the St. John’s Catholic Newman Center established the “Newman Shares!� food pantry to help University and Parkland College students who may not be able to afford an adequate amount of food on their own, especially during the holiday season. The concept of the pantry was influenced by local food pantries and a similar food pantry on the Michigan State University campus. While many students who are living in dorms have access to the food they need through meal plans, older students who live in apartments and houses may not have access to daily, nutritious meals. Additionally, the Wesley Foundation is opening a new food pantry on Dec. 11 at Parkland College. Like “Newman Shares!�, the food pantry was established after seeing students, especially the veteran population on campus, who were in need. “Newman Shares!� food pantry is open on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, while the Wesley Foundation food pantry at Parkland is tentatively set to open the second Wednesday of every month. Julie Melton, director of marketing and development at the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, said in an Oct. 1 Daily Illini article that “45 percent of people ages 18 to 26 were living at or below the poverty level in 2012.� The statistic includes students who are living independently while working part time and paying for school. What is great about these food pantries is that they not only provide students with the food they need, but it’s also allowing them to have access to vegetables and other more nutritious items. This encourages students to steer away from cheap fast-food options, which have low nutritional value. The food pantries want to provide food to students, but also make sure students have the option to eat healthy food. Other college campuses should follow suit and ensure an established food pantry available to students. There are many students who are taking out loans to pay for their college tuition, and they do not have the funds to also pay for rent and adequate, nutritious meals. Many students are also working extra jobs just to make ends meet. In addition to the students who have to worry about feeding themselves, many graduate students have families that they also need to feed. It’s difficult to worry about that on top of school and the additional fees that come with it. With these food pantries, students will hopefully be recognized as a population, among others, that is also in need.
‘Earlier’ Black Friday deals harm Thanksgiving ideals BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist
C
oming back to school after Thanksgiving break is always tough. If you’re anything like me, you spent the entire week’s reprieve watching sports on television, sitting on the couch and putting off that comparative world literature essay which was due Friday at midnight. Whether your Thanksgiving included turkey, football or pumpkin pie, I can nearly guarantee it included at least some kind of tradition. Unfortunately, this year a certain tradition was corrupted. If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m talking about Black Friday. This isn’t an anti-capitalist manifesto or even a critique of consumerism, but rather exposure of corporations such as Target, Wal-Mart and many others that opened its doors for shopping on Thursday night instead of the traditional Friday morning opening times. In fact, according to Business Insider, Kmart, Big Lots, Ace Hardware and Family Dol-
lar opened between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. If this doesn’t infringe on the idea of a holiday, I don’t know what does. I understand that this year we have six less shopping days than last year because Thanksgiving came so late, and that the earlier Black Friday start can even be beneficial for workers who depend on those extra hours for necessary income. In my opinion, holidays used to be about rest, and rest for everyone who wanted it. Even if someone didn’t have family to spend the day with, it would be a day when the world would seem to halt and everyone, if they were so inclined, could take a breath and be free from the obligations of work. I’ve only been alive for 20 (short) years, but the sentiment surrounding Black Friday seems to be becoming increasingly more frenetic as time goes on. Last year, stores opened very early in the morning, perhaps even midnight, but I couldn’t find a single store that was open on Thanksgiving day itself, which makes this year’s times even more ridiculous. Can you even call it “Black Friday� if the stores opened at 8 p.m. on Thursday? Even in my small hometown just
west of Champaign where I spent Thanksgiving, the local grocery story was open for full regular hours this year for the first time ever. While this was convenient for when I needed to go grab some extra grape tomatoes for my dad’s cooking, the fact of the matter is that our little town used to completely shut down on holidays, and there was something quaint and charming about that notion. It seems, however, that the chaotic pull of consumption, even in a small town, has overrun the idea of the holiday. This is only a very small taste of the Black Friday madness. The fact that thousands of employees across the country had to be ready to work at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving night is quite shameful. A day that is typically free from labor but has become a full night of working. Thanksgiving is just what its name implies: A time to give thanks. The sad irony, however, is that Thanksgiving is being invaded by a day that is unfortunately associated with gluttony and greed. It’s bizarre to think that all over the country last week, people had to skip their dinners or cut their
restful time with their families short to work at a store that was opening on Thanksgiving evening. Even sadder, however, is the fact that thousands of Americans flocked to these shops, essentially telling these companies that they will have their consumer support, even if it is at the cost of a holiday. I’ve been Black Friday shopping before; part of the fun is getting up at four or five in the morning, shaking off the sleepiness of the turkey-filled previous day, downing an extreme amount of coffee and watching the sun rise over the canyons of big-box stores. OK, perhaps I romanticized that a little too much, but you get the point. What I’m trying to say here is that the deals and sales can wait until Friday. By pushing it up to Thursday, companies actively choose to disrupt one of the most restful times for both consumers and employees, and in turn, chips away at one of the few bastions of true rest that exist in the hectic world in which we live. I don’t say this much, but what’s so wrong with keeping things the way they were?

Recognizing flaws just as important as embracing them SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist
We
all have a flaw we love to brag about. You might hear someone say something along the lines of “I admit I’m loud and obnoxious, so I will constantly be loud and obnoxious.� But is that admission a character flaw or just a mild annoyance to other people? Even if admitting your flaws were a minor annoyance, you probably wouldn’t admit to it so easily. There’s a certain amount of pride that comes with being able to say things like, “Yeah, I’m loud and proud of it,� or, “I’m a little headstrong, but it’s better than being passive.� Flaws are interesting — they make people seem more exotic, more unique. But admitting your flaws shows confidence and even a degree of maturity — and it may take some critiquing to get there. Despite being able to admit to being loud or headstrong, there’s a difference between romanticized flaws and true flaws. Because many times what others perceive as flaws, you might consider as positive attributes, and vice versa. Sure, someone being obnoxiously loud on a
packed airplane would probably be considered as a flaw by others, but to the loud person, it might be his defining characteristic. A romanticized flaw, then, is one of those flaws you’re pretty proud of and maybe even excited to admit. It’s also probably a flaw that only hurts you when it annoys other people (which in the grand scheme of things isn’t that big a big deal). Being outspoken, for example, is a romanticized flaw. It’s exciting to tell people that you readily share your opinions and aren’t afraid of rebuttals. Some people might get annoyed that you’re always ready to disagree or argue, but as long as it’s not excessive, that flaw alone probably won’t inhibit you from success. True flaws are trickier because they’re the ones that can inhibit us from success. This is why most of us don’t like admitting to, thinking about or even considering we have a flaw that is deeper than
something that shows purely on the surface level. What’s even harder than realizing and admitting our flaws by ourselves is accepting the criticism when we hear it from someone else. Flaws and criticism go hand-in-hand: Chances are if you’re talking about flaws, you’re going to talk about the criticism you received about them, too. With finals looming, it might do us some good to suck it up and think about why someone might be pointing out a fault. It’s easy to start defending ourselves, pointing fingers and insulting the source of the criticism, but usually there is a good reason someone is giving you tough love. Take professors, for example. For the most part, they are not out to get to you. As hard as it may be to believe, they genuinely want to help you improve. At some point a professor may have criticized your writing. This might be a crazy idea, but it’s
Admitting your flaws shows confidence and even a degree of maturity — and it may take some critiquing to get there.
not a jab at your lack of skills, so stop freaking out. It’s a professor’s way of telling you he or she sees potential and want you to work on something to get better. And in the long run, it’s better to just start working on areas of improvement as soon as they’re pointed out to you. We’ve all been there. We get some feedback on an assignment or performance and kind of brush it off because we disagree or don’t want to deal with it. But it’s worth it to try harder rather than allowing that flaw to cause you failures multiple times before finally doing something about it. If one professor noticed it, other ones will be bound to point it out in the future as well. Ignoring the flaw isn’t going to make it go anywhere, so it’s better to just work on it instead. Sometimes we can self-reflect and realize our true flaws, but most of the time we need help from a structured source to get there. Being comfortable with your more exciting flaws isn’t enough for success. Accepting critique from others and actively working on improving yourself is much more difficult to do and far more important to success.

Finding the origins of ‘No Shave November’ RAYMOND SOBCZAK Staff writer
T
he day was Nov. 1. It was the start of a new month and the start of “No Shave November.” I rolled out of bed and walked over to the mirror that hangs on my door, and I peered at my clean-shaven face. It was going to be a long month. I can’t grow that much facial hair as it is, but everyone else in my fraternity is doing this “No Shave November” thing so I thought ‘Why not?’ Thus, my adventure began ... and what an adventure it was going to be. As the month went on, I noticed the different stages of my facial hair growth, and began to compare it to the different stages all the other guys in my house had. I started to notice my scruff coming in around the third day. It was scratchy and a little uncomfortable. At the end of the first week I began to wonder where the idea of “No Shave November” came from. So, I decided to do some research. According to fightcolorectalcancer.org, No Shave November actually started in 2003 as “Movember,” a global charity movement to encourages men’s health. The charity’s name is a combination of the words “moustache” and “November. While the movement began as a result of the work of the charity “Movember,” it has continued to grow each year, with “alliances and partnerships (that) have bolstered the movement into mainstream pop culture,” according to the website for Fight Colorectal Cancer, a nonprofit advocacy group. After I found this out, I wondered if people knew the history of No Shave November, and if this knowledge had any part to

their participation. I began to ask my house mates, and no one really knew why they were doing it. Many just wanted to see if they could grow out their facial hair and how long they could go without shaving. However, I did find out that some knew the movement stemmed from wanting to promote men’s health awareness. Dennis Potamianos, junior in LAS and No Shave November participant, said that he had no idea how No Shave November started, but said that he “just did it because he already had a beard going, so why stop it?” Erik Lasaine, sophomore in DGS, had another reason for participating. “Only manly men do it, so it separates the boys from the men,” he said. On a more serious note, he said, “I knew it was to promote prostate cancer awareness, so I wanted to do something to show my support.” Living in a house with all
guys, we obviously had a silent bet to see who could grow the most facial hair in just a month. I knew I would lose, but it was still fun to see what would happen. As the third week rolled around, the week before Thanksgiving break, it was interesting to see where everyone was with their facial hair growth. I still barely had scruff, but some of the guys had already grown full beards. The last week of November was the most difficult for me. I really wanted to shave everything off because it was so itchy and uncomfortable. Lasaine told me that he was in the same boat; he said that he had wanted to shave for the past week. Potamianos, on the other hand, mentioned that after he shaved on Dec. 1, he began growing another beard.

Students embrace unique ‘Thanksgivukkah’ holiday BY BRIDGET HYNES STAFF WRITER
For Andrew Rudolph, freshman in LAS, the Thanksgiving dinner table this year featured a menorah alongside pumpkin pie — a combination that he has never experienced before. The occasion? “Thanksgivukkah,” the coinciding of Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah. This once-in-a-lifetime holiday, in which the first day of Hanukkah fell on Thanksgiving Day, has not happened since 1888, and will not happen again for another 70,000 years, according to Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel, a founding director of Illini Chabad, a Jewish center on campus. Tiechtel said he thinks it is fitting that the two holidays are on the same day, since both have central themes of giving thanks. Hanukkah, an eight-day celebration, commemorates a miracle in the Jewish faith in which one day’s worth of oil lasted eight days to light candles in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, the amount of time it took to travel into the city of Tokea to make new olive oil, Tiechtel said. This miracle occurred when the Jews won the war and took back their temple from the Syrian-Greeks, who had overtaken it as part of their religious persecution of the Jews during the second century B.C. The Jews’ lighting of the candles in the temple signified the rededication and purification of their religious space. “Hanukkah is not only a Jewish message, but a universal message, especially in times like today when things are dark and things are challenging,” Tiechtel said. “We’re thanks-giving to God for giving us this opportunity to be free, to be what we want. So how beautiful is it when that comes together with Thanksgiving in the United States where we’re celebrating what we have in America, our freedoms, our opportunities?” Sarah Stranieri, freshman in Engineering, said this year’s Hanukkah was different for her because she celebrated with her extended family. She said the holiday is usually a “home kind of holiday,” which she celebrates by lighting the menorah with her mom and brother. However, this year, Stranieri said the celebration was less private. “It was more like a party. I kind of liked that atmosphere of having tons of people around,” she said. Stranieri said her family gathered at her cousins’ house in New York and had latkes as a side dish at Thanksgiving dinner. Latkes, which are potato pancakes, are a traditional Hanukkah food usu-

ally followed with applesauce. Although Hanukkah traditions differ from family to family, some traditions include getting small gifts each night of Hanukkah and playing dreidel, a spinning top game that dates back to the Jews’ religious persecution by the Syrian-Greeks when Jews studied the Torah in secrecy. “They would post somebody at the door and if a soldier was coming by, they right away threw the scrolls under the table and brought out the tops to play,” Tiechtel said. Today, pennies or chocolate coins called gelt are used to bet on the outcome of the dreidel’s spin. Rudolph, who said he enjoys playing dreidel, also ate latkes at his Thanksgiving dinner and said it was nice to have other options because he is usually not a big fan of Thanksgiving food. “I’m not a big fan of stuffing, so instead of that I ate latkes,” he said. “They made up about threefourths of my plate. The rest was turkey.” Since the first four days of Hanukkah fell over Thanksgiving break, Rudolph was able to light the menorah with his friends on the first night of Hanukkah, which he said is something he has not previously done. In a similar way, Stranieri found this year special because not only was she coming back for two holidays, but she was also coming back from college for the first time. “It wasn’t just family that I hadn’t seen for a week or two — it was family I hadn’t seen for months,” she said.

Tiechtel also said the timing of Hanukkah this year is special. “Hanukkah is the earliest it can possibly be and Thanksgiving is the latest it can possibly be,” Tiechtel said. Usually Hanukkah falls in December, but due to the Jewish calendar — which is a lunar calendar between 353 to 355 days — holidays vary. To make up for the 11 days lost each year, every two to three years is a leap year in the Jewish calendar. This year is a leap year, which means that this January, an extra month will be added to make up for the 33 days lost in these past three years. “Next year Hanukkah will fall toward the end of December, the following year mid-December, the following year early December,” Tiechtel said. “This year it’s interesting because it’s before the holiday season. The Jewish kids get to celebrate their own holiday — this is Hanukkah time.” For students who wish to celebrate the last four days of Hanukkah on campus, Tiechtel and Illini Chabad will be coordinating events Monday through Thursday, including Wednesday’s lighting of a nine-foot menorah on the Quad followed by the 10th annual Chanukah Bowl in the Illini Union. Illini Chabad will also be providing students with free menorah kits, which include a tin menorah with colored candles and a small dreidel. Every residence hall on campus will have space available to light the menorah, Tiechtel said.

Illinois’ Steve Hull (9) runs the ball during the game against Northwestern at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Illini lost 37-34.
Illini fall in final game, 37-34 BY SEAN HAMMOND SENIOR WRITER
Following a loss, it’s easy to second-guess one or two plays that went wrong. Nathan Scheelhaase has seen 30 losses in his four years as Illinois’ starting quarterback, and even though Saturday was his last one, he was still second-guessing afterward. A fourth quarter pass that was meant to go out of bounds for an incompletion against Northwestern instead ended up in the hands of Wildcats defender Tyler Scott. Northwestern would take the ball 48 yards through Illinois territory for a touchdown to extend a threepoint lead to 10. The deficit proved too much and the Wildcats finished off a 37-34
victory over the Illini at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, bringing the Land of Lincoln trophy home for the second straight year. “I was just throwing ball out of bounds, thought I had enough on it,� Scheelhaase said. “I didn’t think (Scott) was there to make the play, but it was one of those ones that, right when you let it go, you want to reach out there and grab it and take it back.� Scheelhaase finished 31-for-45 passing with two touchdowns and the interception. He surpassed Juice Williams for Illinois’ alltime career yards record with 10,634 combined passing and rushing yards. Scheelhaase beat Williams’ record by 40 yards. “It’s an amazing feat, and some-
thing I really can’t wrap my head around quite yet,� the fifth-year senior said. Northwestern jumped out to a 10-0 lead after a field goal to open the game and a one-handed catch by receiver Christian Jones went for a touchdown. Illinois answered in the second quarter with two touchdowns in three minutes of play. Steve Hull caught a 25-yard touchdown pass while lying on his back in the end zone. Hull slipped on the play, but Scheelhaase’s throw landed exactly where he was lying. “I tried to plant my feet,� Hull said. “The inside foot slipped out from underneath me. When I fell I just hoped the ball would get to me and be in my reach. I saw it

GAME TO REMEMBER Miles Osei
The senior receiver commemorated his injured teammate Ryan Lankford by wearing the fellow senior’s No. 12 jersey. In doing so, Osei had the best game of his career as wide receiver, hauling in eight catches for 93 yards and his first ever score in orange in blue.
Nathan Scheelhaase finished his career Saturday a the all time total yardage in Illinois history. He surpassed Juice Williams’ 10,594-yard mark in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game.
he game that encapsulated the 2013 Illinois football season was the one seen by the fewest people. The temperature at kickoff was 52 degrees, with the sun out and, fittingly enough, setting. It was a day of honoring, too, with the 10-star Illinois outline helmets back in action, a Red Cross logo affi xed in the middle of the logo, and 15 seniors being recognized before the start of the game. Fans failed to honor the team, though, as a season low in attendance and a student section occupied by about 140 brave souls dampened the atmosphere. The game played out as the season did — with Illinois fighting and losing. It was more of the same on the scoreboard, but there were subtle differences. Illinois defended the run well, allowing just 2.9 yards per carry to Northwestern ball carriers. Illinois hadn’t defended the run that well since Week 1 against Southern Illinois, which managed just 2.5 yards per carry. Jonathan Brown anchored the defense in his swan song

roundup
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk will publish a recap of this past weekend for Illinois sports here every Monday.
Steve Hull finished his season with 993 yards, seven short of a 1,000-yard season. Hull led the nation in receiving yards in the month of November. He had 712 yards in his last five games alone. Jonathan Brown, in his final game in orange and blue, tied a career high with 17 total tackles. Brown finished the year with 119 tackles, a career high good enough for second in the conference behind Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier.

For a defense that struggled all season defending the run, it was the passing game that hurt Illinois the most on Saturday. Northwestern’s Trevor Siemian amassed 414 yards and four touchdowns on 31 of 44 passing. Christian Jones led the Wildcats receiving corps with 13 grabs for 182 yards; he was one of two 100-yard receivers for Northwestern.

Fall break wasn’t much of a break for the Illinois men’s basketball team. It wasn’t easy, but the Illini survived three close games against Chicago State, UNLV and IPFW to improve to 7-0. The Illini had a different savior in each game. Jon Ekey, forward, hit five threes and added an emphatic put-back slam in a 77-53 Illini win over Chicago State. The fifth-year transfer’s 19-point performance equaled his outburst against Bradley just five days earlier and was one of few bright spots in a game which the Illini finished on

The game was much slower than Illinois head coach John Groce anticipated as the Cougars ran a zone defense against the Illini, a surprise since Chicago State had been running a fullcourt press defense in its other games up to that point. Ekey’s long-range shooting, and Illinois’ offensive rebounding were key to beating the zone. “We knew at some point he was going to adjust,� Chicago State head coach Tracy Dildy said. “That’s just what coach Groce did. (Ekey’s) one of the best shooters in the country. Those weren’t lucky shots. They found holes in our zone and took advantage.�

performance to the tune of 17 total tackles. He came one short of what was necessary, however, as a conversion by Northwestern’s Treyvon Green on 3rd-and-6 with just over two minutes left put the game out of reach for Illinois. It was the same ending, but it had a sharply different feel. When the clock struck zeroes, Brown sauntered off the field straight for the locker room, a tangible morbidity in his stride. Mason Monheim and Jevaris Little attempted to console him as a majority of the players congregated in the middle of the field to shake a hand or two before heading out. Brown was unreachable, inconsolable; he had left everything on the field, and it wasn’t enough. It hadn’t been for the whole season. “I defi nitely didn’t do everything I wanted to do. But I helped my team to go in the right direction,� Brown said after the game, his eyes still red and rife with emotion. “I had a lot of personal goals I didn’t meet, but at the end of the day, I did everything I could to help my team win, and that’s probably the thing I’m most proud about.� Long after Brown reached the locker room, after the whole team had fi led in, four Illini remained on the
Ekey followed the performance with his worst of the season against UNLV, but fellow transfer Rayvonte Rice made up for it. Rice finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds, as well as a game-winner with 26 seconds remaining to give the Illini a 61-59 road win. “Ray was option one (on the final play),� Groce said. “Tracy (Abrams) found Ray and went with the hot hand. Winning on the road, big-time players have to make big-time plays.� UNLV barely outrebounded Illinois, ending with 40 rebounds to Illinois’ 41 rebounds. The Runnin’ Rebels had two players averaging at least 10 rebounds a game, including Roscoe Smith, who came into the game averaging
16.3 rebounds per game. Still, the Illini were able to grab 15 offensive rebounds, thanks largely to Rice’s and freshman Maverick Morgan’s having three offensive boards each. “This was a grinder,� Groce said. “We had five freshmen contribute. We had to overcome foul trouble. We made big shots at the end.� Rice made the final play for a second straight game against IPFW on Friday; his steal and two free throws with eight seconds remaining sealed the 57-55 Illini victory, but Tracy Abrams was the one who refused to let the Illini lose.

The last touchdown pass of Scheelhaase’s career was the first score of close friend Miles Osei’s career. Osei, also a senior, caught the pass to cut Northwestern’s lead to three with 2:23 remaining. But the Illini failed to recover an onside kick and the Wildcats ran out the clock. The seniors walked off the field for the last time embracing each other with teary eyes. Senior linebacker Jonathan Brown tied his career high with 17 tackles in his
final game. “Right now it doesn’t mean anything,” he said of his performance with red, puffy eyes. “I’m hurt we lost this game. I’m kind of really sad that my career at Illinois has come to an end. I’ve had some great memories and great times. “You really can’t put it into words.”
“Dude’s a winner,” Groce said. “He’s an extension of what I want said and what I want echoed and tonight, he did that at the highest level since I’ve coached him.” Rice finished with 17 points, six rebounds and two steals. In the game, the Illini were able to get to the free throw line 18 times in the second half, though they only converted nine. IPFW converted just two of its 13 free throw attempts. Additionally, the Illini were 1-for-12 from beyond the arc in the second half, after shooting 3-for-9 in the first half. Illinois was outrebounded 39-33 , just the second time in
seven games the Illini grabbed fewer boards than their opponents. Illinois also had two assists between its five starters and a 6-to-14 assist-to-turnover ratio. The bench added three points. “It’s not good enough,” Groce said of Friday’s box score. “We have a long way to go, but we found a way to win. We’re not going to apologize for that. We’re not going to give it back.”

Scheelhaase leaves his mark, breaks Juice Williams’ all-time yard record BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
FROM 1B
SILL field, taking their time to leave. Nathan Scheelhaase, Steve Hull, Miles Osei and Ryan Lankford exchanged hugs before exiting, bringing it together for the last time on the turf of Zuppke Field. Scheelhaase had lit up the Wildcats defense to the tune of 307 yards and two touchdowns, one to Hull and one to Osei, who was commemorating Lankford by wearing his No. 12 jersey. Osei didn’t have to do that. But he did, and he scored his fi rst touchdown as an Illini wearing that jersey. It was a moment neither player will ever forget. Scheelhaase was the last player into the locker room for postgame interviews, and he was the one who seemed most content. Of course the game was important, and the loss was painful, but he had a career to reflect on. And the legacy he left — as the owner of the most total yards in Illinois football history — was enough for him to hold his head high. He, like Brown, left
everything out on the field. And it wasn’t enough. But the effort he and his seniors gave was enough for him to go out without lament. And we should be happy for him. He’s captained a 6-18 team the last two seasons. He threw four touchdowns in all of 2012. Bill Cubit came in as offensive coordinator and saved his legacy. The two embraced in the postgame interview session. Cubit congratulated him, and Scheelhaase credited Cubit. There was happiness. More than the records, however, the talk of the future brought smiles to the faces of the several Illinois seniors. Even Brown began to smile when asked about his young defensive comrades and where they’re headed. He’s proud of the development of his freshmen from puppies to men. A familiar air of defeat pervaded the Illinois locker room, as it has in a general sense for the past two seasons, but when there’s literally nothing left to lose, it will make a team change its thinking about what it’s accomplished.
Brown can watch the defense next year and know those are his guys, his little brothers. Scheelhaase can watch the program, as weird as he said it will be for him to be “detached,” and watch the offense develop under Cubit. There is a more strongly pervasive air of optimism now surrounding Illinois football, and it took a year of giving 100 percent and getting a mere four wins in return to get there. Brown said the biggest key for the team’s improvement from 2012 was buying in. It was enough to earn the team two more wins. But more important than fi nishing 4-8 was the sense of direction Illinois football has that it defi nitely lacked heading into the season. And that’s not the legacy you dream of leaving. But it could mean a new start for Illinois football, and that idea for Illini fans seemed to be nothing more than a dream a year ago.

Illinois soccer’s season came to a close in Lincoln, Neb., on Sunday, Nov. 24. The team was bounced out of the third round of the NCAA tournament in a 4-1 loss to Boston College. “It’s a tough way to end because we probably played some of our best soccer except for moments in front of both goals,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “Unfortunately for us, the score line doesn’t reflect the sort of game it was.” Illinois (11-9-3) won a penalty shootout to defeat No. 21 Washington State in the first round last weekend, earning a trip to the second round against No. 7 Portland. The Illini then topped the Pilots 4-3 with a last minute goal in overtime Friday afternoon to earn a Sweet 16 berth against Boston College. The Illini controlled the tempo early in the game and created chances, but it was the Eagles who took the lead. Senior midfielder Gibby Wagner tapped in a second chance opportunity in the seventh minute after Illinois’ Claire Wheatley made the first save. The Illini continued to retain possession and take on attempts at goal, but their efforts fell short. The Eagles doubled their advan-
tage in the 40th minute through Hayley Dowd. The celebration was short-lived, as Illinois defender Amy Feher flicked a cross over the on-rushing Boston College goalkeeper to cut her team’s deficit in half just a minute later. “I felt like maybe it was going to give our team a spark,” Feher said. “Being down by one goal at halftime is definitely better than two, so I thought it was going to give us a boost.” The goal had the opposite effect on the team’s performance. Illinois was able to take advantage of Boston College’s lack of concentration after cutting its lead in half, but Boston College returned the favor a minute later when their top scorer McKenzie Meehan restored the two-goal advantage with her 20th goal of the season. After a few more close chances for Illinois, Boston College grabbed the final goal of the game in the 76th minute when Lauren Bernard scored her fourth of the season. Coming off a four-goal performance against the Pilots, the Illini struggled with the Eagles defense. “It was harder (than it was against Portland) to get behind them,” junior forward Jannelle Flaws said. “Some of our chances we just couldn’t keep on frame
those kids.” Osei and Tim Beckman both said Scheelhaase would have traded the record for a win Saturday. Cubit said the quarterback’s presence in the locker room, not the record book, is his greatest personal legacy. “Knowing Nate, the most important thing is his image as a teammate,” Cubit said. “This is really good for him, but in time, it’ll mean more to him. But if you really know Nate ...” Cubit paused, looked down at his stat sheet and folded it in half again. When he looked up again, tears were in his eyes, and he finally managed with a cracked voice: “... he’s just a great kid.”

Illini soccer’s tournament run falls short in Sweet 16 BY LANRE ALABI
Looking back on a 37-34 loss to Northwestern on Senior Day on Saturday, quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase had an effective day statistically, but one interception in the fourth quarter would haunt him in the loss. A somber Scheelhaase was swamped by reporters as the final player in the players’ meeting room. But offensive coordinator Bill Cubit squeezed his way through the wall of reporters to give his quarterback a hug and bring a smile to Scheelhaase’s face. The senior broke Juice Williams’ school record of 10,594 total career yards by fi nishing with 10,634. In addition, Scheelhaase broke the school record for completion percentage in a season at 66.7. His 48 career starts
are tied for most in school history. “I think the seniors have done a great job leaving their legacy,” wide receiver Miles Osei said. “Offensively, some of these guys it’s their fourth coordinator, third for me, so having that, it’s hard to buy in every time. But our team really bought into each other.” Cubit is Scheelhaase’s fourth offensive coordinator in five seasons in Champaign, and Scheelhaase’s fi nal campaign would prove to be his statistical best. Scheelhaase finished with career highs in completions, attempts, yards, passing touchdowns, total touchdowns and quarterback efficiency in 2013. “All those guys, they believed from the first day I got here, and I don’t know why,” Cubit said. “As a coach, you sit there and you’re proud of those kids. I’m really grateful that I had this year with
and their keeper had a really nice game.” Boston College fi nished the game with a three-goal advantage but was outshot by Illinois 24-13. The Eagles were the more clinical team, scoring four of the five shots they put on target. Illinois’ 10 shots on goal were kept out by Alex Johnson’s season-high nine saves. Although it fell two wins short of the championship game, the team felt its rollercoaster season ended on a high. The team’s 54 goals scored are the third-best in school history and the best in Rayfield’s 12-year tenure. Jannelle Flaws’ 23 goals this season are tied for the NCAA-lead and are the most scored in a single season by an Illinois player. “We went into the season thinking that we could make a run,” Rayfield said. “My GPS didn’t have us going this direction, but the destination was the same. Getting into the tournament was a challenge for us, but once we got here the pieces came together and we started to fight for every inch of space and every game.”

Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase (2) walks toward head coach Tim Beckman while being honored as a senior before the game against Northwestern at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Illini lost 37-34. Seniors Scheelhaase, Steve Hull, Miles Osei and Ryan Lankford formed a special bond on the team.
Football seniors embrace final moments BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER
Leaving the field after their final collegiate game, Illinois football seniors Nathan Scheelhaase, Steve Hull, Miles Osei and Ryan Lankford stopped short of the tunnel in the end zone and wrapped each other in a group embrace. It would be the last time the four seniors are on the field together as active members of the Illinois football team, following a 37-34 loss to Northwestern on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The relationship the four share extends outside of football, although they work well on the field as well. The wide receivers were groomsmen at Scheelhaase’s wedding and their careers on the field have intertwined over the past four seasons. They’ve gone skydiving and taken trips together to Cedar Point, Ohio. They stayed up late Friday night to reminisce about their experiences — on and off the field. “That’s what football does. It is all about W’s. We all understand that, but the bonds that these players have made with one another, we’re talking lifetimes,” head
coach Tim Beckman said. “I’ve told this senior class, I’ll do anything for them as long as Tim Beckman is alive, because these players do mean a lot to me.” Hull, in his first year as a wide receiver, finished with 993 receiving yards, with 653 of them coming in the final four weeks of the season to go with six of his seven total receiving touchdowns. After recording just 13 catches in the team’s first seven games, Hull had 46 catches in the team’s final four contests. While Lankford has been out for the season since Illinois played Michigan State on Oct. 26, his number 12 would make one more appearance on the field Saturday, as Osei took the field in Lankford’s jersey. Osei gave Lankford quite the sendoff by having his best career game as a wide receiver with eight catches for 93 yards and his first career touchdown. “The best part about it was wearing Lank’s number to represent him,” Osei said. “That’s why I wanted to do it, to make his legacy not that he got hurt on his last play but that he scored a touchdown and played well. I hope I wore
his jersey proud, it was a great feeling.” Scheelhaase broke the school record for yards in a career, passing former Illini quarterback Juice Williams. In his final game in Orange and Blue, Scheelhaase threw for 307 yards and rushed for 55 more to go along with two touchdowns and an interception. While fans might remember Scheelhaase for his back-to-back losing seasons and his 5-17 record as a starter in the past two seasons, the signal caller said that it would be the moments outside of football that would last the test of time. “It’s the stuff that people don’t see on Saturday,” Scheelhaase said. “It’s something you can never describe or relive the moments we had together. I would imagine in the future, I can only hope to work with people half as enthusiastic and as proud at what they’re doing. I’m going to miss all of these guys. “It’s going to be sad, that’s the reality.”

Israel: Its Success for the Long Haul What Are Israel’s Great Strengths to Achieve Its Continued Success? On its 65th birthday, Israel can be described as a great success. Now, looking forward, we need to project what Israel will be like for the next 60 to 100 years. From what we can foresee, it is going to be a continuation of its success. There are good reasons for this optimistic assessment.
What are the facts?
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Morganne Criswell (1) celebrates after a point during the game against Purdue at Huff hall on Sunday, Nov. 16. The Illini won 3-0.
Volleyball to play in, host NCAA tournament opening rounds BY NICHOLAS FORTIN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
After a one-year hiatus, the No. 18 Illinois volleyball team is back in the NCAA tournament. The Illini (16-14, 12-8 Big Ten) were ranked 13th overall and will begin their tournament run Friday against Morehead State (27-7, 15-1 Ohio Valley). “My heart was racing the whole time,” sophomore setter Alexis Viliunas said of watching the NCAA tournament selection show. “I wasn’t really sure what to expect, especially after losing to Minnesota, I was not expecting to get seeded, so my eyes lit up when I saw it.” With its ranking, Illinois will host the first two rounds of the tournament at Huff Hall and have the potential to play the following two rounds at State Farm Center if it is able to advance. Senior libero Jennifer Beltran said she was extremely happy not just with getting into the tournament but also with getting the opportunity to play at home. “(I was) a little shocked, but really, really excited,” Beltran said. “It’s a really great
opportunity for us. Playing at home, to have the chance to have four straight matches at our place would be really nice and it’s something not a lot of teams get to have.” After an up-and-down start to the season, the Illini finished the year strong winning seven of their last nine games including a six-game winning streak in November. Morehead State has also been hot of late, winning nine of its last 10 games and going on an eight-game win streak of its own. Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly said he thought the biggest factor in putting the Illini, who ended the season 17th in the RPI poll, in the tournament was a combination of who they’ve played and how they finished. “It had to be the schedule,” Hambly said of what got his team seeded. “We had the toughest strength of schedule and finishing fourth in the conference. Usually the top-four teams get a seed, that’s how it has been, so where we finished in conference and strength of schedule put us over the top.” Illinois is one of eight teams
from the Big Ten to make the tournament this year, which Beltran thinks shows how tough the conference is and how tough playing in the Big Ten has made the Illini. “It shows how tough the Big Ten is,” Beltran said. “I know we say that all the time, but it really is. Every night we’re facing a really good team, at home, on the road, and it was great preparation for us.”
