Construction continues for C-U BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER
Campus streets at the University will be expecting a new makeover starting in May 2016. The $6.5 million renovation will include a series of five projects, which span from First Street to Fourth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on campus. Tom Bruno, at-large city council member, expressed his enthusiasm with the project since the design and construction will provide more bus shelters to the community, as well as rebuilt street pavements, bike paths and sidewalks. The federal funds for the upcoming infrastructure project were given to the University after the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District applied, said Dave Clark, Champaign city engineer. “The $6.5 million is more than enough to start the first two projects; once we reassess how much money we have left, we’ll start with project three,” Clark
said. “But if there is not enough money left over, we’ll just stop there; it’s a pay-as-you-go system, we don’t want to move forward with the next project unless we have the money for it.” However, since the University is not considered a highway authority governing body, the Illinois Department of Transportation requires Champaign and the University to undergo an intergovernmental agreement. The city council unanimously approved the agreement on Nov. 14, which binds them with the Board of Trustees. The intergovernmental agreement states Champaign must be held responsible for jurisdiction of each of the five University projects until each is completed. Projects one and two will begin in May 2016, followed by the third project in 2017, said Stacey DeLorenzo, Transportation Demand Management coordinator for the

Asian and Asian American graduate students hosted a discussion in light of the nonindictment of Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed Michael Brown, an unarmed African American teenager in August 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. The discussion was held at the Asian American Cultural Center on Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. and welcomed students from diverse backgrounds on campus. The grand jury announced on Nov. 24 that Wilson would not face a trial and the incident ignited protests and outrage across the nation. S. Moon Cassinelli, graduate student in LAS, began the planning process for the discussion over fall break in response to the national reactions that followed the grand jury decision. “I wanted there to be other spaces for other groups to talk about this,” Cassinelli said. “So I decided to reach out to other graduate students in different departments who I know do research and are interested in these issues. I wanted to think about how to get together and create a space where we can talk about how as nonblack people of color we can help support movements like
Black Lives Matter.” Cassinelli said it was a group effort from graduate students to bring the discussion together. The discussion fostered smaller conversations with break out questions, summoning interactions between undergraduate and graduate students from different departments and majors. “I came to the event in part because black lives matter, and I wanted to be part of an event that was continuing that momentum, particularly here on campus,” said Durell Callier, graduate student in Education. “I also came because ... I wanted to show solidarity with peers and friends who are also showing solidarity with this movement.” The event emphasized the need for solidarity and students shared their perspectives on how to take action against what they feel are injustices in the legal system. “I see this space not just as a space to come together but also as a space of healing in some way,” said Merin Thomas, graduate student in LAS. “Communication heals and knowing that you’re not alone heals. I came for solidarity, for community and to check out what other people

streets with no commercial stores present, Clark said the renovations would not affect businesses in the area. However, project four is near the I-Hotel. Clark said construction for the project would depend on how much money is left over from the other three projects.

Index shows Illinois continues to grow economically The University of Illinois’ Flash Index has continued to illustrate the rising economy of Illinois in recent months, remaining on the trend of economic growth that started in March 2012. The index, which showcases the 12 most recent months of economic data, is at a current value of 106.6 as of November, rising slightly from its 106.5 value in October. Created in 1995 by the University’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs, the index was built to provide a quick analysis of Illinois’ economy in a visual graph that is easy to read, said
economist J. Fred Giertz, who compiles the index. “It was constructed originally with a person who was here at the time named John Crihfield. He and I worked on it at the time,” Giertz said. “He was the person who was in charge of it for a while, and when he left after a couple of years, I continued what we had started together.” The index has been frequently used by Illinois’ Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce as a source of economic data. The data of the Flash Index is based on three major components: person-
al income, corporate income and retail sales. After tax receipts from these three components are adjusted for inflation, the incomes and retail sales are calculated into a weighted average of Illinois’ growth rates. The rates are illustrated as a trend on a line graph, which depicts the economic growth or decline of Illinois. “I could break out those three things and look at them individually, but the index puts them together,” Giertz said. “The reason it’s called a ‘flash’ index is because it comes out really quickly ... it’s the best thing we have for a quick reading of how the economy is doing.” The center of the index
is divided by a benchmark line at the value of 100; if the economic trend falls below 100, Illinois is considered to be in a state of economic contraction and decline. However, if the trend rises above 100, Illinois is in a state of economic growth and expansion. The index has remained in the 106 to 107 range since February 2014. “Even though the Flash Index hasn’t gone up very much in the last year, it’s stayed at this level, and that means the economy continues to grow, and that has started to have an impact on unemployment,” Giertz said.

App benefits social media users BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER
A new startup company called YuVue aims to benefit society with an original application, which they describe as “Instagram with a paycheck.” CEO William Fisher started YuVue with two University alumni, Tre Tomaszewski, chief technology officer, and Tracy Kirch, chief information officer. The group aims to add value to videos and photos posted on social media. “Social media has really transformed our behavior in a day-to-day way,” Fisher said. “The idea that everyone has their cellphone in his or her pocket and you’re able to capture these images and upload them very quickly is a remarkable thing.” The company has been
developing the interface of YuVue for over a year. They are currently holding a Kickstarter campaign, which ends on Dec. 22, to create a beta test. Although social media plays a pivotal role, there are downsides that users may not have taken into consideration. Fisher said that when social media users post different content, the value users have created is “dissipated and diluted” by sharing the content with everyone. Further, users can lose control of their original work and their copyright. There are various solutions for social media users to gain control of their own work and YuVue may help users secure ownership of their content. “We sort of collectively
saw that there was a solution for this, and that really hinged on the ability to manage that content from the minute it was uploaded,” Fisher said. “When it comes to us, we secure the contributor’s copyright and then we post it on social media channels that the contributor would like and we ensure that all of the social media channels comply with that copyright.” With the problematic situations that can occur with copyright licensing, YuVue allows the user to tell the application what content they want uploaded and where to be upload it. Then YuVue continues to keep a secure look out for publishers who want to utilize a particular work. Kirch said with content that contains a license
agreement or copyright, there can be problematic situations when sharing photos with applications like Flickr. Even though licenses can be imposed onto the users’ work, it does not guarantee that other people won’t use the photo by simply copying and pasting or downloading the image. “We’re developing watermarking technology that will just let us know whether or not it’s a photo that’s been taken without license consent, that piece will automatically be there,” Kirch said. Kirch anticipates that journalists in particular may benefit from this app while reporting, as it allows for a quicker turn around in uploading photos and videos available for sale. “Photojournalists who go
on location and put themselves out there, didn’t have an option for getting monetary compensation in the same ways as they have in the past,” she said. “We see this as a game changer for professional photographers and videographers; it’s kind of like an independent marketplace.” Maddie Galassi, freshman in Media, said that as a journalism student, she may find the app helpful while covering events. “If you can kill two birds with one stone and make money off of it too, it would be really awesome.” Fisher said the global commercial launch of YuVue is scheduled for April 2015.

Gruber apologizes to Congress members for comments on health care legislation WASHINGTON — Jonathan Gruber, an MIT professor who worked on the Affordable Care Act, apologized to members of Congress on Tuesday for a series of controversial comments he made about the law, which Republicans have seized on to attack the health care legislation. “I behaved badly, and I will have to live with that,” Gruber told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. “But my own inexcusable arrogance is not a flaw in the Affordable Care Act. The
ACA is a milestone accomplishment for our nation that already has provided millions of Americans with health insurance.” Gruber, an economist who advised the White House during the development of the law in 2009 and 2010, was captured in a series of videos speaking disparagingly about voters and the development of the measure. In one video, he said passage of the law was only possible because of the “stupidity” of the American voter.

MOVEMENT were thinking.” At the heart of the discussion were the killings of Brown, Eric Garner, and other African-Americans, but things like Project 500 and the decrease in the AfricanAmerican population at the University were also articulated throughout the intimate room. In addition, the discussion brought up themes that Asian and Asian American communities face on campus and the stereotypes that follow different minority groups. These conversations highlighted Asian and Asian American history, as well as the powerful way that history connects us. “Shared histories of violence is one way to connect groups of color, but it doesn’t have to be the only way,” Cassinelli said. “It can be about relationships to education, it could be across class lines or labor lines or gender issues.” Ideas on how to support the African-American community and the Black Lives Matter movement surfaced through the room, bringing new leaders and voices to the forefront of the discussion. Cassinelli emphasized the importance of standing with other ethnic groups in order to bring about change. ”Something that social activists tend to say is that being in solidarity means supporting those who are at the center of the struggle,” Cassinelli said. “It’s about thinking about our experiences on campus and thinking about how we can support the movements that are happening nationally and locally.”

Panthers QB Cam Newton injured in Charlotte car crash, brought to hospital CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was taken by ambulance to a hospital Tuesday afternoon after a truck crashed and overturned on the Church Street bridge over Interstate 277 in Charlotte. Newton, lying prone in
black workout clothes, was treated on a sidewalk along the bridge for at least 20 minutes before an ambulance took him away. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spokesman Rob Tufano said Newton was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Haiti commission calls for resignation of prime minister Laurent Lamothe MIAMI — An 11-member Haiti presidential commission charged with helping stave off a deepening political crisis is calling for sweeping changes, including the resignation of Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and his government, the head of the country’s supreme court and members of the body charged with organizing delayed elections, according to a copy of
the report obtained by the Miami Herald. The commission also is asking for the release of several people who have been arbitrarily arrested and deemed by human rights groups as political prisoners as part of what it is calling, “calming measures” intended to show the will of Haiti’s leaders to reduce the tensions dividing the country.
South African prosecutor calls Pistorius’ sentence ‘shockingly inappropriate’ NAIROBI, Kenya — South African prosecutor Gerrie Nel told High Court Judge Thokozile Masipa on Tuesday that the sentence she imposed was a “shockingly inappropriate” penalty on double amputee Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius for the
negligent killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in 2013. Masipa, who acquitted Pistorius of murder in September, sentenced him to five years in jail – but under South African regulations, he can be released after 10 months.
BEIJING — Environmental groups in China issued a report Tuesday detailing more than 1,000 companies that they say regularly exceed emissions standards, an attempt to “name and shame” Chinese industries that contribute to the country’s notorious air pollution. Some of the industries “are in repeated violation of discharge standards and so have become a serious source of risk,” according to the report, which was released by the nonprofit Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs and two other nongovernmental organizations. Alleged violators include highly profitable publicly traded companies in China, including Kingboard Chemical Holdings Ltd., Aluminum Corp. of China and SinoChem Cokechem Co., a subsidiary of SinoChem International. On any given day, much of Eastern China is smothered in gases and particulates from factories and plants that health officials say contribute to tens of thousands of deaths yearly. By putting a spotlight on publicly traded companies that they say contribute to the smog, Chinese environmentalists hope shareholders will pressure corporate executives to speed up the installation of pollution controls and conversion to cleaner fuels. Ma Jun, the director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, said Beijing’s recent pollution-control efforts during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference
showed that bluer skies were possible. The quick reduction in smog demonstrated that China’s air pollution could be reduced much more quickly than the 30 or 50 years some experts have predicted, he told a news conference. “Although the APEC blue was short, it gives us great hope,” Ma said. China’s foremost environmentalist, Ma has been marshaling data since 2006 to pinpoint the nation’s biggest pollution problems — a daunting task, given the size of China’s economy and the lack of government oversight. In recent years, local and provincial governments have made increasing amounts of emissions data available online. That’s aided Chinese pollution watchdogs in the same way that, starting in the 1980s, “right to know” laws helped U.S. environmentalists. Last year, Ma’s institute and two provincial environmental groups, Green Jiangnan and Green Hunan, issued their first “Green Stocks Investigative Report.” Tuesday’s was their second report. The new report goes into detail about the scale of the alleged emissions violations, the impact on communities and the sources of investment in the companies, including some from Wall Street firms. Kingboard Chemical operates a factory in Hebei province south of Beijing with a long history of problems. The company has also been accused of “deliberately discharging in secret, discharging in breach of set limits and fabricating online
monitoring data,” according to a news release issued with the report. Kingboard has about 60 factories in China and Thailand. Two big investors in Kingboard are Fidelity Management and JPMorgan Chase & Co. An Oct. 3 article in Barron’s profiled one of Fidelity’s star financial advisers who was urging investors to buy Kingboard stock. Attempts by McClatchy to obtain comment from the company’s headquarters in Hong Kong were unsuccessful Tuesday. Ma said investors should think twice before investing in Chinese companies that violated pollution standards. New environmental laws will go into effect in 2015 that expose violators to higher fines from the government. Such companies also could face court actions or increasing “notin-my-backyard” resistance from affected communities. One big question, however, is how strongly Chinese regulators will enforce the new environmental laws, given government mandates that provinces achieve certain growth targets each year. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection dispatched an inspection team to Kingboard’s coal-to-chemicals factory in Xingtai, a city in Hebei province. The factory was allegedly trying to avoid detection by increasing its emissions at night. According to an account posted on the ministry’s website, private security officers blocked inspectors from entering the factory.
Royal couple visit Sept. 11 museum BY DAVID NG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Amid pouring rain, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in lower Manhattan on Tuesday morning. The stop was part of the royal couple’s brief but highly anticipated New York visit, which began on Sunday. The couple’s tour of the Sept. 11 memorial and museum is believed to be the first time that members of the British royal family have visited the museum, which opened to the public earlier this year. Among the estimated 2,606 killed in New York on Sept. 11, 2001,
were 67 British nationals. On Tuesday, the Duchess of Cambridge laid flowers at the edge of a memorial pool followed by a moment of silence. The couple then entered the museum, which features objects from the 2001 attacks, including fragments of the airplanes used to take down the Twin Towers. Prince William and Kate were shown various galleries inside the museum and signed their names on the museum’s visitor registry. After the museum, the royal couple visited the lobby of One World Trade Center, according to the official Twitter feed of the British Consulate in New York. The new skyscraper,
which stands on the World Trade Center site, is the tallest building in the U.S. As part of their New York trip, the royal couple is also scheduled to stop at the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they will attend an event for the University of St. Andrews. Prince William and the duchess will spend a total of three days in the U.S. Their activities included a basketball game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where they rubbed shoulders with athletes and celebrities. Prince William also traveled to Washington, D.C., where he met with President Barack Obama at the White House.

INDEX Despite remaining higher than the national rate, Illinois’ unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent to 6.6 percent in the past year, improving from 2 percent above the national rate to less than 1 percent. “One reason why unemployment hasn’t responded very dramatically to the growing economy is that we’ve also had increases in productivity, so when firms find ways to do things with workers, even though they’re selling more, they don’t need to hire more people,” Giertz said. “In the long term, productivity is a very good thing, but in the short term, it makes it very hard to get people back to work.” The city council of Chicago agreed to raise minimum wage at its Dec. 2 meeting to $13 an hour by 2019. Giertz said it’s difficult to predict whether this raise in minimum wage will be good for the economy of Illinois, since it will impact some people negatively, and others positively. “I think it’s going to go both ways: for some people it’ll be a good deal, because they’ll keep their job, and the wage will be increased, but for other people, it’ll make it harder for them to get a job,” Giertz said. Giertz said minimum wage is generally not good for the economy, since it doesn’t benefit everybody. “Minimum wage is not a good idea, but if you’re going to have it and it’s not at the national level, it’d be better to have it at the state level, and least good at the local level.” With respect to the rest of the state, Giertz said originally, the whole state was going to gradually raise the minimum wage over a period of time, to prohibit individual cities from having a higher minimum wage than the state. However, Chicago’s proposed $13 minimum wage turned out to be higher than a proposed statewide $10 wage, so the people of Chicago chose not to support the state. While Giertz said he believes it would have been better to have all of Illinois on the same minimum wage, Chicago is “not as small as Urbana”, so it isn’t as bad having it at the local level. “Chicago is four million people, so it’s not a tiny area, but it’s still not as good as having a broader area,” Giertz said. Giertz said the Flash Index can’t predict where the economy is going, so making predictions based on how Illinois is doing right now is meaningless. “It would be extremely unusual to go another 10 years without a recession,” Giertz said. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if (the economy) continues to grow for several more years.”

very year, the Curtis Apple Orchard is fi lled with students, families and all those in-between to celebrate the beginning of fall. The orchard features an apple orchard, pumpkin patch, country store and restaurant. It is also home to the Curtis Orchard apple cider, which is made using an in-house cider press. The orchard is home to 31 different varieties of apples, which go on to either live on the shelves or be pressed into cider. Curtis Orchard is currently run and co-owned by Randy and Debbie Graham. Debbie is the daughter of Paul and Joyce Curtis, the founders of the orchard. The Grahams started working at the orchard in 1980, which was the year the fi rst apples were harvested. They became partners in 1994, and have been gradually expanding over the years, which included opening the Country Store and the Flying Monkey Cafe. The Country Store sells different kinds of items including the orchard’s apples, cider and even salsa. Honey crisp apples are a crowd favorite. The cafe was a dream of Debbie’s when she was younger, and with the help of her family, she was able to open it up in 2004 and has had the opportunity to try out different recipes with customers. While his wife works the cafe, Randy starts up the cider press around 5 a.m. with his crew. The apples are washed and conveyed to the press before being dropped into a grinder, which then pulverizes and releases the juice. The apples are crushed with around 2,000 lbs. per square inch of force. It’s then taste-tested before pasteurization and bottling. Although it is no longer fall, the Graham’s are still accepting customers until Dec. 20. The orchard is located at 3902 S. Duncan Rd. in Champaign.

E D I TO RIAL Smoking ban efforts seem lackluster
How ‘The Binge’ stole finals F Opinions columnist
Every student in C-U hated fi nals a lot. Studying was ‘pointless and boring!’ they thought.
W
hen it began Jan. 1, the University’s campus-wide smoking ban was met with both relief and annoyance. Those who supported it were happy to be able to walk around campus without the threat of secondhand smoke and littering of cigarette butts, while those who smoked saw it as the University infringing on their personal right to choose to smoke. The University put up signs to tell students and visitors of the new rule, classes were held to help smokers try to quit and student ambassadors were trained to help others comply with the new rules. But as time went on, it remained unclear as to how strict the University was being about enforcing the ban. In fact, we still find this concern particularly unclear, which is problematic considering it is approaching its one-year mark. After such a large push for this policy to be implemented, we hoped that the campus community would be kept in the loop about its impact and progress. We have yet to receive an update from the University on the effectiveness of the smoking ban, as well as the effectiveness of the punishments in place for noncompliance. In the official UrbanaChampaign Smoking Policy, punishment depends on whether an individual caught smoking on campus property is a student, employee, visitor, contractor or subcontractor. Noncompliant students are referred to the Office for Student Conflict Resolution, and University employees are referred to either the employee’s supervisor, Academic Human Resources or Staff Human Resources, whichever is applicable. Visitors who do not comply, according to the policy, may be asked to leave campus. But we are unaware of how often these punishments are actually carried out, and we question whether these measures actually prevent people from smoking on campus. The ban has not seemed to stop smokers from smoking; those who want to smoke will continue to do so, and they have found locations — particularly vague and not welldefined locations — where the ban does not apply. Walk down Gregory Avenue across from the Ikenberry Commons, and you’ll see students and dining hall staff smoking across the street in front of the various fraternity houses. The church on the corner of Wright Street and Armory Avenue has outdoor ashtrays due to the number of people standing outside to smoke during the day. We believe that it’s noble of the University to want to protect the health and safety of students, but has the policy been effective? We aren’t sure, nor are we clear on what the University is doing at this point to push for its effectiveness. If a smoke-free campus is something the University wants, this policy needs to be taken seriously for it to make a significant difference. Otherwise, the University’s focus would be better placed elsewhere.

After class they returned to their residence halls. They purposely avoided their parents’ phone calls. It was time to unwind from school and from cliques. It was time to log on to a site called Netflix. The shows, they were calling. They begged for a binge! “How I Met Your Mother!� “Breaking Bad!� Even “Fringe!� Don’t ask me why I binge-watch. I don’t know the reason, But when it comes to “The Office,� I’ve seen every season. But I need to stop watching. I really must study. Finals are coming and my tests will look bloody. They’ll be red from the marks of all I got wrong. But I’ll study after “New Girl,� with guest star Justin Long. But after that episode, I continued to watch. Then I realized the time as I looked at my Swatch. What happened? What had I done with my time? I just wanted to see “Dexter� solve that darn crime! “My future is doomed,� I exclaimed with great fear. “My fi nals are coming! They’re practically here!� “That’s it.� I said, “This is where Netflix ends.� “I’ll see you in January, when you’ve added ‘Friends.’� I logged off of the site. My hand formed a fist. “Video streaming is over! I’m done with ‘My List!’� So I sat at my desk with much to review. I would not continue watching “House of Cards� season two. I sat and studied with a lump in my throat. I can’t memorize this! Can it be open note?! I’ll study all night. No sleeping! No showers! Tell me, why didn’t I study or attend office hours? I should’ve been prepping for fi nal exams, Not binge-watching Netflix and going to KAM’S. Do I dare get on Compass and look at my scores? They’ll be even worse than the UGL doors! Do I regret binge-watching? No! I loved “Breaking Bad.� I just hate disappointing my dear mom and dad. The worst part, I thought, dear girls and boys, Was that my fi nal was in room 100 Noyes. That’s the one thing I hated, that it was in Noyes! Oh Noyes. Noyes! Noyes! Noyes! My desk was so small! That uncomfortable chair! Less leg-room than a passenger on U.S. Air. Perhaps this was karma, punishment for pressing play, But when I started “Bates Motel,� I wasted a whole day. I put on my outfit. Some orange and some blue. If only my test was about using Hulu. I got on the bus, the great Yellowhopper. It made frequent stops like a holiday shopper. I walked through the Quad, Spotify in my ear. Will this test be that bad? Am I right to feel fear? I pondered unemployment. Will I get referrals? Running through life like the beloved campus squirrels? My worries must cease. My time, it is gone. It’s time to fill out my name on a Scantron. And what happened next, well the Urbana people say, My GPA shrunk three sizes that day. I know now to better manage my time. Not too much Netflix or Amazon Prime. Please learn from my story, dear classmates and friends. Study! Don’t use Netflix. It’s not worth the binge.

LEO’S LUCKY LADIES
ONE LAST WEDNESDAY
Media sources proved once again their strange fascination with knowing the intimate details of other people’s lives. Earlier this week, everyone seemed to be getting their knickers in a knot over the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio, and his newly found manbun, reportedly left a Miami club with 20 women. Many jumped to conclusions about Leo’s intentions with these women, but we like to assume the best of our Oscar snubbed, Titanic heartthrob and guess that he was looking to form teams for an epic game of Dungeons and Dragons or something. Get your minds out of the gutter, guys.
We said it Monday, and we’ll say it again today for emphasis — we are almost done! This Monday was our last Monday of classes for the semester. Today is our last day of classes for the semester. Thank you, oh beautiful, wonderful Alma Mater for bestowing upon us the near-end of the long, treacherous fall semester road. Can’t you just smell the pine, taste the hot chocolate, feel the warmth of your bed and see the glare of your TV screen as winter break approaches? (Notice how we are still ignoring the fact that finals week is still ahead. Ignorance is bliss.)
PRESIDENT OBAMA TO REPLACE STEPHEN COLBERT?
KATE MIDDLETON MEETS THE REAL QUEEN
President Obama stopped by The Colbert Report on Monday night. Acting as Colbert himself, Mr. President took some wise-cracks at Obamacare, admitting that people across the board love aspects about Obamacare: almost everything except for the “Obama� part. While everyone loves to see the President take a few jabs at himself, this was nothing compared to his “Between Two Ferns� appearance with Zach Galifianakis. We think that Michelle Obama appearing to dance to rap songs with vegetables could have really helped make this segment even better. Either way, through the Obamas’ appearances on some of our favorite shows, they’ve continued to secure their spot as coolest first family.
Our worlds of real royalty and pop culture royalty finally combined. Kate Middleton, future queen of England, recently met the current queen of the world, Beyonce. In other news, their husbands also shook hands. If you haven’t seen the GIF of the encounter online, we highly recommend you take a look. It is a moment that will go down in history. Everyone is hoping that they have already started arranging play-dates (that will, hopefully, one day turn into actual dates) for Blue Ivy and Prince George. After all, Queen Blue Ivy just sounds fantastic.

App-based health study proves effective LOS ANGELES — Qiana Sago knew she had a problem. Three years ago, at age 30, she weighed 269 pounds. She was taking pills for high blood pressure. Her triglycerides were “the highest you can have,” she said. Working as an LAX airport custodian, she was surrounded by fast food, which became a daily staple. “You ate (it) when you got to work, you ate it again midday,” she said. “Then I’d get off work and eat more.” But, partly because she was provided access to unique fitness technology, the Inglewood, Calif., resident has turned things around — losing more than 40 pounds and working toward the day she can stop taking blood pressure medication. Sago and 39 other young African-American women at Faithful Central Bible Church recently participated in a UCBC-backed clinical trial that used a smartphone app to track their eating and activity and to teach them healthy diet and exercise habits. Many such mobile health, or “m-health,” programs are in their infancy. But researchers and advocates for underserved, hard-toreach patient groups hope they soon will contribute to major advances in the treatment of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions. Cellphones provide unprecedented, low-cost access to patients, experts say, because the technology is so widely used and the
socioeconomic digital divide is shrinking. “Anything that you’re doing online, that you want to extend to a lowincome population, the way they’re most likely to access it is through mobile,” said Margaret Laws of the California Health Care Foundation in Oakland. Laws runs a program that hopes to use technology to help at-risk groups. “Everyone has a phone, even if it’s a throwaway,” added UCLA psychologist and researcher Vickie Mays. Mays, who leads a center that focuses on addressing health disparities, collaborates with the university’s Wireless Health Institute, which backed the Inglewood study. Heart disease among young, black women appeared to be an ideal condition to target with m-health programs, said Jo-Ann Eastwood, a nurse practitioner and associate professor at UCLA’s School of Nursing who ran the church group study. Sago and the other women selected for the study all were between 25 and 45 at the time and had at least two risk factors for heart disease. Many said they were too busy caring for their children and parents — and working long hours — to find time to care for themselves. They also needed help understanding nutrition labels. Eastwood taught the women about healthy-heart lifestyles and stress reduction in four diet-and-exercise classes before handing out custom-configured Android phones. The devices were disabled for voice calls but
could be used to text others in the study group. The phones were loaded with an app, developed at UCLA, that interacted with the women, sending daily and weekly questions and tracking how much exercise they got via built-in accelerometers. Study participants were supposed to wear the smartphones whenever they were awake. They also had to measure their blood pressure on Sunday nights, using Bluetooth-equipped blood-pressure cuffs that sent readings to the phones, which then streamed the data to the researchers. Nabil Alshurafa, a PhD candidate and Eastwood ultimately opted for passport pouches worn around the waist. Eventually most of the women got used to lugging around the phones, which logged movement data several times a second. Preliminary results from the study have been promising. Compared with a control group, the church women had significant improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol levels, lower levels of anxiety and stress and improved eating and exercise habits. Sago, now 33 and a fulltime student, cut red meat out of her diet and loaded up on vegetables. In addition to losing weight, she significantly improved her blood pressure and triglycerides. The smartphone helped keep her honest. Eastwood will continue analyzing results in the coming months and hopes to revisit the women in a year and see how they’ve fared.

At 24 years old, Morris enlisted in the Marines. He trained as a linguist at the Defense Language Institute to learn Pashto, a language spoken by the Taliban, before being deployed to Afghanistan. Morris worked with local Afghan interpreters to “listen and translate the head security clearances.” Additionally, he talked to locals about “what the problems were, how the Marines can rectify these problems and make them better and what we can do to make friends and be happy.” Braem started at the University in 2011 and deployed to Egypt on orders in 2012. He was a medic in Egypt, working in everything from general care to the emergency room. Braem said his friends were the biggest source of help in adjusting back to civilian life before returning to the University in fall 2013. The summer before returning to school, he took a road trip out West and went to music festivals to unwind. “It wasn’t like I was coming fresh off the plane and starting classes the next day,” said Braem. “I don’t know how that would’ve been.

Students deployed while at the University have to submit a withdrawal with documentation of their orders, according to the Veterans Student Support Services. In classes, Braem found professors to be curious. “What would you do as a professor (when) somebody in your class just got back from a country that’s going through a blatant revolution, and you’re right there looking at it?” Braem asked. While Braem and Starks transitioned back during fall semesters, Morris started during the quieter months of summer semester in 2013. In addition to being a student, Morris is a husband and father. After Morris returned to the U.S., he married his wife, Carolyn, a fellow Marine. Morris does his homework after his kids are asleep, and he spends time with his wife, because he “wouldn’t be able to do this without her 100 percent behind (him).” He even has another baby on the way due in January. “Thank god it’s in the middle of the semesters. That’s all I can say,” Morris said with a laugh.

Post-graduation Their military experiences shaped the majors and career paths for Starks, Braem and Morris. Starks chose psychology and economics because she hopes of one day running her own center to help veterans with mental, work and any other issues. Braem chose communication because of the flexibility to be able to be deployed. After his undergraduate years, he may attend graduate school, found his own company or work in the medical realm. Morris is a political science major and wants to go to law school at the University. Braem plans to graduate this December, and Starks and Morris plan to graduate in spring 2015. All three are unsure if they’re going to stay in the military in the future, but being a veteran is sure to be a part of their future.

rooms are like,” Wallace said. “They are for three or four women, so it’s a smaller situation and there’s more privacy.” The Center has private rooms for families and shared rooms for singles. They joined forces in 2010 with a domestic violence group called A Woman’s Place and are collectively known as Courage Connection. The Center also has outreach programs that help people make the transition into stable living. The Center offers six affordable permanent housing units, all of which are currently occupied. “We’ve come a long way from just providing immediate emergency shelter to providing a more long term program that helps people find that stability and maintain it in their lives,” Wallace said. The Center sees an increase in colder months because that’s when people are trying to figure out their next steps, Wallace said. People typically don’t move to other cities or try for fresh starts until it’s warmer.
The Transition Housing Program for Homeless Families is undergoing remodeling, but normally accepts applications from families and also contact agencies, shelters, transitional housing programs, school districts and other agencies for referrals, said Kelly Mierkowski, manager for the Grants Management Division. Mierkowski said they interview potential participants and those accepted receive a variety of services to help them become self-sufficient. “It helps them get on their feet,” she said. “It’s pretty intensive as far as what kind of needs they have, so if they have a lot of needs then there’s a lot of working with them.” The organization has five units and the staff tries to meet with each family at least once a week. Remodeling is expected to finish soon and the program will reopen after the holidays. Mierkowski said the program may shift its focus to more permanent housing but that is still in consideration.
Other services available are food pantries, such as the Wesley Evening Food Pantry. The pantry is open every third Thursday of the month from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., said Brittany Coleman, volunteer coordinator. Everyone receives a number from a lottery system so they don’t feel like they need to be first in line, she said. “People were leaving work or school early just to be ahead of other people, so we didn’t want them to feel the pressure of having to be the first in line,” Coleman said. Those going to the pantry must verify they have an income of 200 percent of the federal poverty level and can shop how they would at a grocery store. The pantry opened in 2006 and serves about 1,500 people each month. “We open toward the end of the month just because that’s when paychecks and food stamps tend to run low,” Coleman said. “And we know that about fifteen percent of Champaign County experiences food insecurity at one time or another.”

Patricia Starks couldn’t sleep without hearing the sounds of fighter jets flying overhead when she returned to the University from Iraq. Starks is just one of over 300 veterans on campus. While the initial transition back to school can be a challenge for some veterans, the title becomes part of their academic and career goals.
Choosing the military
Starks joined the Air Force in 2007 after high school when her parents said she couldn’t just sit around. “It is the greatest thing that’s ever happened in my life,� Starks said. Alex Braem, senior in LAS, joined the National Guard as a “way to get out� of his hometown. And Andrew Morris, senior in LAS, was working to pay his way through school, but he realized he was working more than going to school. “Finally, I was like, ‘this is no good,’ � Morris said. “I could take out loans, or
I could go serve five years and get it all paid for.�

She said she had difficulty getting out of her overseas routine once she returned and found she didn’t interact with many people for the
Homeless services gear up for the cold Shelter, food pantries expand services in Champaign-Urbana BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER
Simply walking down Green Street gives a glimpse into the level of homelessness in Champaign-Urbana, and as winter months approach and rumors of more polar vortices swirl around the country, safe havens for homeless people become a necessity.
C-U at Home One of the many shelters in the area is C-U at Home. C-U at home is a shelter that has a “family house� and a “recovery house,� which supports up to four people for approximately a year, both of which are full right now, said Paul Gallagher, managing director. “Not only are we a safe haven in extreme weather, but it’s also a place that people are really enjoying
coming to and interacting with other folks,� he said. “That’s been a comment in the last couple of weeks as we see the number of people basically double. People are enjoying themselves; they’re finding that it’s a really welcoming, fun, enjoyable kind of place to be.� C-U at Home has a dropin center where people come together to support one another “on their journey of healing and transformation,� Gallagher said. The staff and volunteers make visits on the streets to introduce themselves to homeless people and let them know someone is there for them and also to offer rides to nearby medical detox facilities. Champaign-Urbana doesn’t have one, according to Gallagher. Today, the shelter serves more than 50 people in the drop-in center each day, especially as the weather turns colder. What started as a twice-a-week program has quickly grown to five days a week. “We wanted to work as
quickly as possible to add another day,� Gallagher said, attributing the fast growth to the weather, friendships and resources available such as telephones.
Center for Women in Transition A shelter geared specifically for women is the Center for Women in Transition. Mary Wallace, the center’s director of development, said the organization has two main residential programs for domestic violence and homelessness. The homeless transition program allows up to 19 women (12 women with children and seven single women) to stay for one year while working to get back on their feet. The domestic violence program has 10 rooms, five of which are classified as emergency rooms. The emergency rooms allow women to stay for up to 30 days while the other five house women for up to a
year. Depending on the need, the rooms may be used for families or singles, Wallace said. “Women can work on the various things they need to work on, so that includes job search skills, budgeting and financial management. It may include going back to school, addressing child care needs,� Wallace said. “Anything that’s preventing them from finding independent housing of their own and/or staying in independent housing of their own.� The program was founded in 1985 as the Women’s Emergency Shelter of Champaign County after community members recognized the need for such a shelter. Many shelters are open rooms with numerous bunks and house men that aren’t always appropriate to women and children. “People visualize a homeless shelter, and they think of a barrack style dorm room with lots of bunk beds.

ILLINI OF THE
WEEK
I l li nois’ 73 - 59 defeat at the hands of No. 7 Villanova played out, it became clear that we’ve seen this movie before. The script unfolded in a similar fashion to last week’s loss to Miami. The Illini fell behind by double digits in the fi rst half, then scraped back into the game multiple times, but ultimately couldn’t get over the hump as their opponent pulled away. Yeah, it would have been big-time if John Groce’s squad could have pulled out a win over a top-10 team at an event like the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. It would have catapulted the national perception of the program and given the players a huge boost of confidence as the nonconference
season winds down. But for the second time in seven days, the Illini came up short. They clawed back from deficits and tied the game at 38, then at 50, but turnovers and some illadvised shots prevented the Illini from ever grabbing a second-half lead. Once the Wildcats weathered the storm, Dylan Ennis sank two consecutive threes late in the second half for what would be the game’s decisive shift. This game was a lot closer than the 14-point spread would indicate. For the fi rst 35 minutes, Illinois belonged on the same floor as Villanova, showing admirable grit and refusing to back down from one of the most talented teams in the country. Sophomore Malcolm Hill was an all-around stud, abusing Villanova on the offensive end and fi nishing with 20 points. Rayvonte Rice grinded out 10 points and three steals, while

JOCELYNN BIRKS
Junior outside hitter led the Illini to both of their victories in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament, logging in 37 total kills BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. The Illinois volleyball team spent all season waiting to peak in the NCAA tournament. If Jocelynn Birks is any indication of the whole team, then the Illini are well on their way. In the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament, Birks posted 14 and 23 kills against Murray State and Iowa State, respectively, and hit more than .400 in both matches. Her 23 kills in the three-set victory over Iowa State on Saturday set a career-high for kills in three sets. “We were out of system a lot, so I got the ball a lot,� Birks said. “The bench did a really good job of telling
me where I could tip or swing to score. That’s always really helpful because, I can’t always see that with a huge block.� While the numbers themselves were impressive, it was the manner in which Birks racked up those 23 kills that stood out to sophomore Danielle Davis. Against the Cyclones and Racers, Birks seemed to hit another gear as she unleashed some of her hardest swings of the season. Even when defenders would get their arms on a ball, it usually careened into the crowd or out of control. While Birks said she is doing everything the same as she has the whole season, Davis said Birks is hitting the ball harder than she ever has. “She is, for sure,� Davis said. “Jocelynn is one of the strongest outsides in the Big Ten, if not the strongest outside in the Big Ten. She hits a heavy ball. I’ll play against her, (in practice) and it hits you hard. “I don’t even know how else to say it, she just hits it really hard.�
Honorable Mentions: Ivory Crawford (women’s basketball) — The senior guard scored 15 points against Virginia and 21 points against SIU as the Illini went 2-0 on the weekend. Josh Belmont (hockey) — The sophomore center scored a gamewinning goal on Friday and tallied an assist on Saturday in the Illini’s two-game split with Robert Morris. Murray State was undersized as a team, with just one player taller than 5-foot-11, but Iowa State brought a physical presence and even utilized a triple block against Birks in the third set. “They’re able to terminate against a great block,� Iowa State head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said after the

Illinois’ Malcolm Hill takes a shot during the game against American on Saturday. Hill scored 20 points in Tuesday’s loss to No. 7 Villanova.
Hill’s 20 points fall short for men’s basketball BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
The Illini hung in the game late, but it wasn’t enough. Illinois (7-2) fell to No. 7 Villanova (9-0) Tuesday night, 73-59, at Madison Square Garden in New York. Tuesday’s loss was Illinois’ second in three games and its second against a ranked opponent this season. Illini forward Malcolm Hill had a career-high 20 points, but the individual offensive effort wasn’t enough. Illinois shot 29.4 percent from 3-point range, another difficult game shooting for the team as of late.
I l l i n oi s s t r u gg le d rebounding the ball in the fi rst half, despite holding a height advantage over the Wildcats’ frontcourt. Senior center Nnanna Egwu knew how tough the Wildcats forwards were rebounding the ball prior to the game. “They rebound excellent,� Egwu said before Friday’s practice. The center said the Illini big men needed to match Villanova’s intensity on the glass. But the Wildcats held a 21-13 advantage on the boards at halftime, giving them an 11-0 edge in second-chance points in the fi rst half, allowing them to take a 33-27 lead into the
break. Illinois came out strong in the second half, tying the game at 38-38 and then again at 50-50. But the Illini couldn’t keep the Wildcats down, allowing them to shoot 54.7 percent from the floor and pull away from Illinois every time the score got close. Villanova fi nished the game on a 23-9 run in the fi nal minutes after the Illini tied the game with fewer than 10 minutes remaining. Both teams came into the game with seven players averaging more than seven points per game, and Villanova spread the ball around — four players fi nished in
double figures (Daniel Ochefu, Darrun Hilliard, Dylan Ennis and Josh Hart). Illinois had just two players in double-figures: Hill and senior guard Rayvonte Rice. Hill has more than tripled his scoring production from last season, when he averaged 4.4 points per game, surpassing his season-high scoring total from last year in every game so far this season. The power forward came into Tuesday night’s game averaging 13.9 points. Hill’s 20 points in Tuesday’s loss helped keep Illinois in the game with another poor offensive performance from starting

Women’s basketball can’t recreate its ‘magic’ BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s basketball team couldn’t recreate the magic it had when facing the Seton Hall Pirates last season. On Dec. 9, the Illini erased a 20-point deficit at home to take down the Pirates. Seton Hall got its revenge this year by coming up with an 82-72 win. The Illini made a few second half runs but were never able to get closer than seven or eight points. “We didn’t take care of the ball in the first half and just didn’t show the same heart and the same want-to as we did in the first nine games, which was disappointing,� head coach Matt Bollant said.
Junior forward Tabatha Richardson-Smith scored 38 points for the Pirates, the most Illinois has given up to an opposing player this season. Illinois also had two of its biggest issues exposed once again. The Illini committed 22 turnovers, after committing only nine against Southern Illinois in their fi rst game of the current threegame road trip. “They put a little pressure on us on the road and we just got hurried and lacked poise,� Bollant said. Bollant’s squad also struggled with fouls once again. Two of their starters, Ivory Crawford and Brittany Carter, both fouled out. Although Illinois won the
rebounding battle, something it struggled to do early in the season, it did encounter a rebounding situation it hasn’t seen much of this year. Chatrice White, who just earned her second Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor, finished the game with zero rebounds. White has already had three double-doubles in the team’s first 10 games, and was averaging an even eight rebounds per game heading into the Seton Hall game. Coming into the matchup, Seton Hall and Illinois were both well-represented in their steals and turnovers forced categories. With the Illini giving the ball away 22 times Tuesday night, they couldn’t even up the category on the other end. The Pirates
only turned the ball over 11 times, not falling victim to Bollant’s go-to buzz defense. Even with the overload of turnovers given away by Illinois, its new-found consistency from behind the arc allowed the team to hang around in the second half. For the second game in a row, they made seven out of 18 3-point attempts. The 39 percent mark from 3-point range shows a big improvement since the beginning of the season, when Illinois struggled to make threes at all. Before fouling out, the Illini received another solid contribution from Crawford. She poured in 17 points and added seven rebounds. Her rebounding has been key
for Bollant’s team, as they have been looking for others besides White to crash the boards. Foul trouble and turnovers aside, Bollant simply didn’t think the Illini brought the same mentality they had throughout the team’s first nine games of the season. “We’ve got to have a shortterm mentality,� Bollant said. “We’ll learn from it and realize we have to have a closer mentality, the first nine games we were really hungry and showed that, and tonight we weren’t.�

Sterling. Before their playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, the players gathered at center court and took off their Clippers warm-up shirts and left them there. Players then warmed up in inside-out red shirts that didn’t display the Clippers name. Many players also wore black arm and wrist bands and black socks. The silent protest was against racial remarks that were made by Sterling. Many players on other teams supported the Clippers’ actions and even did the same in their respective games.
efore Tom Thibodeau came along in 201011, the Chicago Bulls were just one of those Eastern Conference teams fighting for the No. 8 seed in the playoffs, but things are much different now. When Derrick Rose has been healthy, the Bulls have been considered title contenders. Even when he’s not, they’ve overcome his absence and proved that their worth isn’t defined by Rose, although he is an important part of it. Chicago remains a title contender this season, and having Rose back in the lineup is a large reason for that. But the addition of Pau Gasol and the growth of Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson have helped that case. Unexpectedly, though, Jimmy Butler is making a strong case for Most Improved Player, leading the Bulls with 21.7 points per game. Combine all of that with Thibodeau as head coach, consistent veterans Mike Dunleavy and Kirk Hinrich and the emergence of Nikola Mirotic, and it’s no wonder fans and pundits alike have high hopes for Chicago. The Bulls are 12-8 about a quarter-way through the season, and sport a 10-3 road record. But underneath that promising record and the roster’s potential lingers some concern. For one, Chicago hasn’t looked like the defensively dominant team it has come to be. Granted, this year’s roster isn’t the same as those in the past, but the core remains the same. Last season, the Bulls were the best defensive team in the league, giving up 91.8 points per game, the least in the regular season in the NBA. Currently, they’re ranked No. 20, giving up 100.5 points per game. That might be acceptable if they were a high-scoring team, but they only average 102.6 points per game. After watching the Bulls struggle to score for the past few seasons, it’s nice to finally see the Bulls achieve offensive success. But that might as well mean nothing when their defense struggles. They aren’t a team that can mask defensive struggles with offensive efficiency enough to continuously succeed, and I’d much rath-
efore Saturday’s game against the Warriors, Derrick Rose wore an “I Can’t Breath” shirt during warm-ups. The shirt was in protest of a New York grand jury’s decision not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the choking death of Eric Garner. Not a man known for making bold political statements, Rose said he felt he had a responsibility to speak about the issue. Growing up in the Englewood community of Chicago, Rose said he never had an experience with police brutality, but he saw many instances of it. As a father, Rose felt that it was his responsibility to make sure that children know that they shouldn’t be afraid of the police. Rose’s action has been praised by many throughout the nation and has led many other NBA players to do the same. Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving and LeBron James wore the same shirt during warm-ups before Monday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. With the global reach that NBA and other athletes have, it’s important for them to make statements and stand up for those who don’t have as loud of a voice as they do. Rose isn’t the first athlete to make political statements. There have been athletes that have drawn

offensively was a blueprint of what I hoped the Illini would bring to this game, but Villanova’s smothering defense limited the number of decent looks at the basket for Illinois. Watching both teams run their offenses, the discrepancy was clear. Villanova was crisp with the ball and had easy looks. The Illini’s offensive rhythm came and went and they were often left scrambling for shots. Along with ball movement, Illinois’ transition offense, help defense a nd free throw shooting (4-for-8) simply have to improve if they want to compete with a team like Villanova. The game is officially in the record books, but Illinois can certainly use this experience to get better. The only team on its schedule that may be a stronger squad than Villanova overall is Wisconsin, so some parts of the Illini’s performance can certainly be looked at as encouraging. If they can close out the rest of the nonconference with four straight wins, they
have to feel pretty good heading into Big Ten play. In order to win these last four nonconference games, though, Groce will have to find a way to put guards Ahmad Starks and Aaron Cosby in the best position to bust out of their slumps. First impressions are important, and many fans are frustrated with what they’ve seen earlyon from Starks and Cosby. The pair went a combined 3-for-12 in this game to go along with seven turnovers and have struggled against high-major competition all season. Some fans might not be aware of their high level of production at their previous schools before transferring in, and are writing them off already. When they hit shots, they add an extremely valuable dimension to the Illinois offense, so finding a way for both to bust out of their slumps is vital to the success of this team. Yes, the loss to Villanova was disappointing, but not unexpected. The key now is to finish the nonconference strong and take lessons from the losses into Big Ten play.

Illinois women’s crosscountry senior Chloe Schmidt is someone who handles her business on the course and off of it as well. The civil engineering major came to Illinois from State College, Pennsylvania, and will leave with her degree and a solid crosscountry and track career. At Illinois, Schmidt has been seen as a leader and someone who is willing to help her team and teammates become better along with being successful on the track. “Chloe has always been a teammate you can count on to work hard,” junior Alyssa Schneider said. “She leads by example with her work ethic.” Schneider added that Schmidt is the type of teammate who does not dwell on disappointments and continually works hard, which has helped her grow individually as well. That leadership and the ability to help others will be
in a season three different times. “She has a range of shots that’s almost impossible to defend against,” Davis said. “When you’re going up against Jocelynn, you never know if she’s going to go for that hard four shot or if she’s going to go down the line and tool you or go hard in the seam.” This season, Birks was named to the AVCA AllRegion team and was unanimously voted All-Big Ten. In the Iowa State match, Birks recorded just three
errors on 49 attempts, the sort of clean efficiency she has lacked at times in the past month. As the regular season wore on, Birks continued to put up solid overall numbers, but her efficiency waned down the stretch. In Birks’ final eight matches of the regular season, she hit more than .300 just once and was held to less than .200 three times. “I think as the season has gone on, I’ve had some foot issues and things like that, but it’s actually getting a lot
better,” Birks said. “Maybe it’s just that I’m feeling better.” Birks has been a limited participant in Monday practices, which consists of light hitting, in order to keep her body fresh for more taxing practices during the week and then for the matches on weekends. The Illini are now in the Sweet 16 and will face the SEC champion No. 8 seed Florida on Friday, a team that has won 22 straight matches. With every match poten-

After Ennis’ threes put the Wildcats back on top, Nova big ma n Da niel Ochefu imposed his will in the paint and finished Illinois off for good. Ochefu finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. Villanova truly played as well as advertised, displaying a balance offensively that will make them tough to beat. Four players (Ochefu, Ennis, Josh Hart and Darrun Hillard) scored in double figures, and JayVaughn Pinkston had eight. They shot nearly 55 percent from the field as a team, and wore down the Illini defense with ball movement and easy looks. The Wildcats’ balance

The tweet read, “ # We A r eT r ay vo n M a r tin #Hoodies #Sterotyped #WeWantJustice.” The killing had grown to be a national issue and James felt the responsibility to show his support for the slain teen.

Underneath that promising record and the roster’s potential lingers some concern. and they’ve proved that on the road. They just need to maintain that mentality regardless of the location. It’s still early in the season, though, so there’s plenty of time for them to get back to their defensive identity — it shouldn’t be a difficult task. There just might not be much time until Butler’s excessive minutes get the best of him. Butler has played in 18 of the Bulls’ 20 games so far, and he leads the league in total minutes (719) and minutes per game (39.9). With
Butler’s reliable defense and improved scoring ability, it’s no wonder Thibodeau has decided to rely on Butler in the way he had previously relied on Luol Deng. But that’s just the recipe for injury, exactly what Chicago needs to avoid. This isn’t to say Butler shouldn’t be playing a lot of minutes. He should, considering he’s the Bulls’ best two-way player at the moment. Butler just needs a little more rest, even just five minutes. It would lower the risk of injury and prevent him from becoming worn out before the playoffs arrive, just like how having Rose sit out games now will make him available when the games mean more. There are other things to be concerned about when it comes to the Bulls, but their defense and Butler’s minutes need to be addressed now before it’s too late. Chicago has the potential to succeed; it’s just a matter of how that potential is utilized that will determine the extent of the success.

Schmidt leaves with more than track success BY ALEX WALLNER STAFF WRITER
missed, according to head coach Scott Jones, but where she will be really missed at is on the track. “Chloe’s forte is more on the track, in the middle distance events,” Jones said. “That’s where her absence will be felt more strongly.” Schmidt was a regular in Jones’ lineup during the cross-country season, but this did not compare to her performances on the track. Schmidt placed sixth overall at the 2014 Indoor Big Ten Championships, competing in the 800-meter and was a member of the medley relay team that finished third, which was the fifth-fastest time in Illinois history. Schmidt’s success on the track is something that her family is used to seeing. Her mother was a standout at Illinois State. “Running has always been a part of my life,” Schmidt said. “My mom ran in college, and my dad runs recreationally now, so it’s always been in the family.” At Eastern Illinois’s Lantz tially being the last of the season, Birks took her game to another level in the first two rounds of the tournament and is looking to continue to carry the Illini offensively. “She knows what time of the year it is and she’s laying it all on the floor,” Davis said. “You can tell by the way she practices, she’s not taking any swings off.”

Fieldhouse, there is a name that may not seem recognizable: Sara Schumacher of Illinois State, Chloe’s mother. Schumacher holds the record time for the mile at Lantz Fieldhouse in 1983 with a time of 4 minutes, 45 seconds. Beyond the running, Schmidt is leaving the program with Jones’ main goal in mind. The goal is to have not only strong runners, but strong students, something he will miss the most from Schmidt. “What our goal is as a program is to have people come in and learn what it takes to be successful, in college, as a student and as an athlete,” Jones said. “She won’t be contributing directly to our team’s success, but I think there is still that legacy that she’ll be contributing to things even after she graduates.”

Illini content with bowl berth, not season BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Things weren’t looking good for the Illinois football team for most of the season. After a 38-27 loss to Purdue on Oct. 4, a game in which Illinois expected an easy victory, the season had hit an alltime low. “The faces in the locker room then were a lot different than the ones last Saturday,� linebacker Mason Monheim said, comparing the loss to the team’s most recent game: a 47-33 win over Northwestern to clinch a bowl berth. “I think it was a moment where not many words needed to be said. It was kind of a big, big eye-opener.� There was a silence in the Illini locker room that Monheim said had never surrounded the team throughout the year. Illinois had allowed 551 total yards to a backup quarterback making his first career start and a Boilermaker team that hadn’t won a conference game in two years. Monheim said there was a different feeling in practice the next week, with the doubts beginning to enter the players’ minds on whether they’d be able to reach six wins with a tough conference schedule ahead of them. “It was kind of a real makeor-break moment for us,� Monheim said. “Guys corralled together.� Then, two weeks later, the
Illini pulled off an upset win over Minnesota on Homecoming. Monheim said the emotional win jump-started the team’s performance for the rest of the season. But head coach Tim Beckman saw the need to give his players one more boost following a 30-14 loss to Iowa. The team needed back-toback wins to close out the season in order to reach a bowl game. Illinois’ weekly Sunday meeting following the 30-14 loss was the most honest one the team had this season, Beckman remembered. “One of our core values is honesty. That’s the first one,� Beckman said. “If you’re not playing right, you’re going to stand up and explain why you didn’t play right to your family.� The Illini coach brought a few players up to the podium, and he sat down asking them questions as if he was the media during a postgame press conference. “I asked them a couple questions that might have embarrassed them a little bit, and they answered them in front of the team,� Beckman said. “Maybe that was a reality to all of us that it’s important that everybody does their job to make sure that we’re successful.� And it lit a fire under the Illini when they needed it most.
The defense held Penn State to just 14 points while the offense chipped away and won on a last-second field goal. The next week, the Illini forced five turnovers in a 47-33 win at Northwestern. “If you look at the three (conference) wins and look at what we’ve done in those three wins, we’ve played very good defense,� Beckman said. “Honestly, those three games were won because of our defense.� That’s a statement Beckman likely wouldn’t imagine himself saying at the beginning of the season. The defense consistently posted the Big Ten’s worst defensive numbers throughout the year prior to Northwestern, allowing an average of 472.7 yards per game.
