Campus members watch, react to presidential inauguration BY DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Students filed into the courtyard cafe of the Illini Union on Friday morning to watch the inauguration of 45th President Donald Trump. By 10 a.m., as many as 50 students were present. Trump’s inaugural address began with him thanking former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama for their aid throughout the transition. He then emphasized how the inauguration was not just about transferring power from one administration to the next, but about transferring power from the government to the people. “January 20, 2017 will be
remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again,” Trump said. “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” Trump then moved on to talking about his expectations for his term, including patriotism, international relations, protecting the nation from harm and more. David Hunt, a 2008 graduate in journalism, said the address wasn’t what he expected. “I was expecting more of an inthe-middle kind of speech, but it was a very decisive inauguration speech,” Hunt said. “And I actu-

State budget cuts shrink UI’s sesquicentennial celebration
At the Champaign-Urbana Women’s March:
‘Women’s rights are human rights’
BY MEGAN JONES STAFF WRITER
Plans for the University’s 150year celebration have been scaled back due to the state budget impasse, but planners hope commissioned projects will fill the void. Started in 1867 as a land grant institution, the University is planning a 15-month celebration to highlight its 150 years of accomplishments. Various major projects ranging from books, music pieces and exhibits are currently being commissioned for the Sesquicentennial Celebration for the Urbana campus. Pradeep Khanna, associate vice chancellor for corporate relations and economic development, is tasked with planning the celebration and all the coordination. Planning began three years ago by starting to commission projects that took a long time to complete, such as a book highlighting University achievements that will be published in March. A music composition for the Altgeld Hall bell towers was also commissioned three years ago. Plans for the 150th celebration were scaled back from the original ideas pitched three years ago due to budget cuts. The University was planning on hosting large conferences and inviting a large number of speakers, Khanna said. Instead of hosting and creating new events to celebrate the anniversary, the campuses are instead incorporating the Sesquicentennial into pre-existing annual events, such as homecoming. The 2017 and 2018 commencements and all New Student Programs for incoming freshmen and transfer students will have a “Sesquicentennial twist” on them. For some events, they have looked for alternate funding. Khanna said they are not trying to fundraise for the Sesquicentennial because they do not want to compete with other colleges and fundraising efforts of the campus. The campus plans to spend an estimated $400,000 on the projects and events planned for the Sesquicentennial. “We are managing with the resources that we have by being more creative and by redesigning activities so that they can still have substantial impact even when they are done with a smaller budget,” he said. For example, the University was working on a large campus-wide event in October and planned to invite high-profile alumni to attend a program about the global impact of the University. That program has been redesigned and instead will be a symposium focused on the different areas the University has had a lot of impact. Khanna said he hopes that within the next 15 months, there will be a series of discussions that celebrate what the University has done and what it could have done better in its history.

Reformed student Accounting department struggles to keep government adds positions filled due to high turnover rates speaker of the senate position BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER
Three accounting professors will join the University after the Board of Trustees approved the hires at its meeting last week. All three will replace employees who left, Jon Davis, head of the accounting department, said. The new professors are Vikrant Anand, David Godsell and Christie Hayne. Replacing faculty is the norm for the accounting department, in which turnover is common. It usually sees two or three departures per year, Davis said. The supply of accounting professors is small and the market is highly competitive, so it can be a challenge to fi nd replacements. “If I just maintain our size, then I’m hitting home runs,” he said. Accountancy faces a unique challenge: it has the budget to hire, but it cannot fi nd the faculty to hire. In any given year, he said, there may be 10 or 12 qualified prospects available worldwide and 20 schools that want to hire them.

Sam LeRoy, a junior in Business, is serving as the first-ever speaker of the senate for the new Illinois Student Government. As stipulated in the newly-passed constitution, the speaker of the senate position was created as a way to help establish a division of labor within the government. “What we have right now is a constitution that has a very skeletal framework of how our system will operate,” LeRoy said. “What I hope to do is set the the precedence that the role of the speaker is someone who is going to be visible in every part of the work that the senate does.” Under the previous constitution, the president presided over the weekly government meetings in addition to his executive duties. “It’s definitely bittersweet,” student body President Ron Lewis said in an email. “I loved chairing meetings, because you learn a lot with dealing with certain situations under parliamentary procedure.” Part of LeRoy’s goals for the semester is to make sure each senator feels heard in the meetings. “The speaker role is not one that dictates legislation,” he said. “The speaker’s job is to go out

does not think he would want to hire many more to shrink class sizes. “Most of the classes are team-based and sit around in groups, so that seems to be a size perspective that’s kind of a sweet spot for delivery,” he said. “We’ve tried to go bigger, but it hasn’t worked out well.”

Protesters demand University becomes sanctuary campus PHOTO COURTESY OF KAIT MCINTYRE
Protesters at a Board of Trustees meeting in Chicago on Thursday urged the University to become a sanctuary campus. BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER
About 40 protesters urged the University to reverse the decision to not declare the University as a sanctuary campus outside of the Board of Trustees meeting in Chicago on Thursday. Establishing the University as a sanctuary would essentially promise to ignore federal immigration policies and protect the privacy of its students. Student and Graduate Activists, an activist group at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Service Employees International Union, Local 73, organized the rally. President Timothy Killeen sent a massmail to students in December saying the University could not establish itself as a sanctu-
ary because as a public institution, it must uphold state and federal laws. Doing so could “jeopardize our institution,” including public funding, he wrote. The University’s decision came one day after students presented a petition to Chancellor Robert Jones at an academic senate meeting urging the University to declare itself as a sanctuary campus. In response, activists decided to bring their demands to the Board of Trustees. “We just want to make sure the University is a safe space for all students, especially undocumented students who obviously face a myriad of social oppression and dangers living here,” Kait McIntyre, a 2011 UIC graduate and one of Stu-
M - TH 4PM - 9PM FRI: 4PM - 10PM SAT: 11AM - 10PM SUN: 11AM - 9PM
dent and Graduate Activists’ organizers, said Thursday over the phone. Once the meeting started, protesters went inside and held signs that read “Sanctuary Campus Now.” McIntyre and Joe Padilla, junior at UIC, addressed the Board of Trustees during the public comment section. They said undocumented students were too afraid to approach the board itself because of the University’s decision. McIntyre listed six demands for the University: to restrict collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement; to condemn all forms of racism and hate speech; to respond and investigate any hate crimes on campus and act in the fullest extent
of the law; to continue to protect student privacy; to provide confidential legal counseling and continue to provide in-state tuition to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals students; and to ensure campus police officers do not inquire into students’ immigration status or engage in any immigration enforcement action. She hopes the University acts on the demands and reverses its sanctuary campus decision. Student and Graduate Activists has worked with UIC’s Fearless and Undocumented Alliance, which is set to meet with Killeen on Thursday. From there, Student and Graduate Activists will plan its next move.

UIUC purchases wind energy to shrink carbon footprint BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER
The University’s energy supply will be slightly cleaner this year. The University entered a 10-year deal to purchase 8.6 percent of the total wind energy produced at Rail Splitter Wind Farm LLC, which is located near Hopedale, Illinois, about 74 miles from campus. The agreement took effect Nov. 1, 2016 and will continue through Oct. 31, 2026. Officials expect the deal to generate more than 25,000 megawatt-hours of energy annually. Wind energy and solar energy additions are expected to increase UIUC’s clean energy to about 33,200 megawatt-hours per year, accounting for 8.9 percent of expected annual electricity consumption. Morgan Johnston, associate director of facilities and services, said that the other 91 percent of annual energy consumption comes from a mix of power gen-
erated at the Abbott Power Plant and a regional grid, which has a mixture of sources including wind, solar, nuclear, coal and natural gas. In 2008, the University devised the Illinois Climate Action Plan. One component of the strategy included acquiring 120,000 megawatt-hours per year of low-carbon sources by fiscal year 2020. The wind energy agreement brought the University significantly closer to its goal, but it’s still 86,800 megawatthours short of its goal with just three years left of the 12-year plan. Johnston said that the 120,000 megawatt-hours per year goal is one of the stretch goals in the iCAP, and that the Energy Generation, Purchasing, and Distribution Sustainability Working Advisory Team is “actively considering potential methods to reach this ambitious goal.”

Women’s marches continue to make America great SHANKARI SURESHBABU Columnist
T
he world watched as Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the U.S. And in protest, the women of the U.S. marched. In D.C., Chicago, New York City and even on our own campus, millions of women and men came together to express objection to the inauguration of our new commander-in-chief. They wore bright pink “pussy hats” and held up handmade signs that said things like, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights,” “Grab ‘em by the patriarchy,” and my personal favorite, “Hell hath no fury like 157 million women scorned.” I was hiking in Turkey Run State Park while this happened, slightly bitter that I was missing out on this monumental moment in history. I watched the messages, pictures and tweets roll in from my friends as they marched in various cities. What struck me as truly amazing about the marchwas not only the hoards of women worldwide that came to object to Trump’s backward and disrespectful philosophies about women, but also that we live in a world where our voices are being heard. To add another immigrant’s tale to the mix; when I was five, the two coolest places in the world (in my mind) were New Delhi and America. When

Approximately 5,000 local men and women gather at West Side Park before marching through downtown Champaign on Saturday. Columnist Shankari Sureshbabu encourages citizens to continue voicing their opinions and standing up for their beliefs. I was six, and moved here, I walked into a Wal-Mart, with Barbies and candy in every corner, and I thought my beliefs were proven true. I later learned about the melting pot, women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement, and felt safe knowing that I was part of a society that always, to me, chose the right battles and erred on the side of justice. Then wretched 2016 came around. Trump won the primaries, the elec-
tion and seemingly, the acceptance of many in the society I thought was too good to make an intolerant, ignorant and clearly inadequate person our president. Despite this disappointment, I am giddy with excitement and pride when I see my friends unabashedly standing up for their rights. The thought that our ideas and actions can have the power to influence and to be so consequential is undeniably exhilarating.

EDITORIAL University shouldn’t forget state it serves
U
niversity leaders have often invoked the historical mission of the University — to serve as an educational institution for the people of Illinois who may not have any other opportunity to receive higher education — this year in anticipation of the school’s 150-year anniversary. Much has changed since 1867, including the makeup of the student population. A school that started with the purpose of educating the residents of our state now trains its eyes on other areas of the country and the world. The school faces a crisis of purpose as Illinois residents increasingly look outside of the state for their education because of the University’s negligence. The Board of Trustees discussed this issue at its meeting last week. President Timothy Killeen informed the board that the number of Illinois high schoolers is projected to decrease 14 percent by 2031, equaling a net loss of around 16,000 students. If these students at-
tended schools within the state, it would increase tuition and fee revenue by $215 million. But in search of even more money from out-of-state students, the University continues to follow its plan of looking outside Illinois for students. This isn’t to say that we don’t understand it. We do. In order to be considered a first-class institution, the University’s arm must reach as far and wide as it can to influence as many people as possible. It needs name recognition and societal impact to accomplish its goals. The problem does not stem from broadening the horizons of the school or diversifying the student population. It comes from forgetting its roots — the residents of Illinois. The people at home must not be forgotten or pushed to the wayside. The Illinois General Assembly keeps making it hard to serve the poorer students, by underfunding financial aid to the University. But the solution isn’t to allow these students to go elsewhere. They should be able to look
to the University and count on it to serve them. If they can get into the school, money shouldn’t stand in the way. When President Killeen says students are leaving and the University needs to look in new places to increase enrollment numbers, the logic is wrong. A new problem is occurring, but perhaps there is an old solution. In the past, Illinois residents didn’t flock to other states for college. So, to the University administration, we ask: as the 150-year celebration begins, take some time to return to old ideas and think about how the school used to serve the state. Some of these ideas might still work today. Instead of turning the sights of the University ever outward, reflect inward and recognize the gifted Illinois students who are willing to pay out-ofstate tuition rather than attend “one of the best universities in the world.” The original purpose of the University is still an important goal. Please don’t discount Illinois when you are striving to change the world.
BRIAN BAUER THE DAILY ILLINI
Chairman of the Board Edward L. McMillan and President Timothy Killeen attend the Board of Trustees meeting at the Illini Union on Sept. 8. The Editorial Board is concerned that the University is deviating away from its mission with new intiatives to increase enrollment.
As Elizabeth Warren said in Boston: “We can whimper, we can whine or we can fight back. Me, I’m here to fight back.” The importance of this power to speak your mind and influence history does not go unrecognized by me, and it surely does not go unrecognized by the millions of women and minorities my age, defending rights that they shouldn’t even have to ask for. In a time when I have to check and double-check
the legitimacy of everything I read, it’s relieving to know that there is still one undeniable truth: there are millions of people still on the side of diversity and tolerance who are actually taking this whole “leader of the free world” thing seriously. As we grow older, the power to shape history not only sits in the palm of our hands, but rests on our shoulders. I am quite clear about the side that I lean on, but advocating
for what you believe in is important regardless of your political preferences. As for those who went to the march today — those who regularly defend the rights of others and those that protest bravely and will again — I commend you for not sitting idly by in the face of injustice. Here’s to four more years of nasty women making history.

Americans must hold Trump to high presidential standards ISABELLA WINKLER Columnist
I
felt a sinking feeling finally hit me while watching the Obamas bid farewell to the nation during President Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday. I realized that the rhetoric Trump has been spewing for the last two years is no longer just rhetoric. What used to be uncertain about the future is now happening — Trump’s promises are no longer empty. The hardest part is not only adjusting to a new president, who is so farremoved from reality, but moving forward as a nation seemingly more divided than during any other recent presidency. Even through the obstructionism and filibustering that pained Barack Obama’s administration, the nation never seemed this disconnected. What we can learn from Obama’s presidency is how to be critical of who we trust to lead our country. While Obama was a hero for many, he wasn’t perfect and didn’t fulfill all of his endless promises. But the vile criticism he received had less to do with his accomplishments and more with partisan gamesmanship. President Trump even claimed that there would never again be a black president after Obama. Underneath the blatant racism and desperate analysis of Obama’s every move, there was absolutely legitimate criticism. The Affordable Care Act had downfalls, Obama left his climate legacy potentially reversible and some Chicagoans felt he did not deserve to pat himself on that back for his work in inner-cities. It is possible to like and support the president while still being critical of him. Jumping to his defense when he rants on Twitter or admits to sexual assault is not productive for the common cause. Even more so, his inconsistent views that changed throughout the course of his campaign need to be kept in check.

Trump supporters gather in the Courtyard Cafe at the Illini Union to watch the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Columnist Isabella Winkler believes it is crucial to stay critical of the nation’s leaders. We can expect our new president not to be as graceful in accepting criticism, as proven by his juvenile deflection of every rumor about him on Twitter, but it is important to criticize what actually matters. Just as it was important to do for Obama, we must focus on Trump’s real strengths and weaknesses. President Trump’s followers have proven to be loyal under any circumstances, which makes it seem like they won’t hold him to a high standard during his presidency. If people truly think that Trump will make America great again, then they must hold him accountable to fulfill that promise. A common theme in his campaign was taking strong, extreme stances and then reverting back to moderate rhetoric. For example, he flip-flopped his initial claim that he would dismantle environmental agreements when he said he did see the connection between human behavior and climate change and would keep an open mind about the Paris agreement. But one of his first acts as president was announcing an end to Obama’s climate and pollution regulations. He also described his relationship with Vladimir Putin in 2014, saying that he “spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer.” In August of last year, he claimed to have never met Putin. His promise to “drain the swamp,” a catchline that caught on with his
fans, was also left unfulfilled: A big chunk of his cabinet has sat on boards for companies that spent millions on lobbying Most concerning is his Secretary of State pick Rex Tillerson, whose ties to ExxonMobil and history of lobbying the government are pretty swamp-ish. Sunday morning, Kellyanne Conway revealed that President Trump will not be releasing his tax returns, an issue that was much debated during his campaign. In September, Vice President Mike Pence released his own returns and assured that President Trump would be doing the same. Not only is his failure to release his tax returns dishonest, it raises concerns about his alternative priorities and agendas. His inconsistencies are alarming not only because they demonstrate the wandering course he has taken to become president, but they also showcase his lack of knowledge on important issues. He just says what he thinks other conservatives want to hear and hopes it will stick. Calling out Trump’s contradictions is critical to moving forward. While his supporters remain convinced that he is our savior, the truth is that his unpredictability is no asset to the country. Just as concerned citizens helped keep Obama in check, we mustn’t let ourselves blindly follow President Trump — his supporters included.

Oberweis, That Burger Joint to open in Atlanta Bread location BY MELISSA WAGNER STAFF WRITER
Adding to the seemingly never-ending development of Neil Street as a restaurant corridor, Oberweis Dairy plans to open a new branch of their Illinoisbased chain That Burger Joint in the former location of Atlanta Bread Company. That Burger Joint offers standard American fare like hot dogs and fries, but the real focus is on their burgers, as their name suggests. There are two sizes of burgers and the larger size is offered on a pretzel bun. Both burgers include unlimited free toppings, although cheese and bacon are available only for an additional charge. The menu is very similar to Five Guys, with $8 for the most expensive burger. Joe Oberweis, son of Illinois Senator Jim Oberweis, is an Illinois alumnus and the current CEO and president of Oberweis Dairy. “We had been wanting to expand for a while, and with the addition of That Burger Joint we felt like the time was right,” Oberweis said. The restaurant is slated to open in July, although it’s hard to give an exact date, Oberweis said. The restaurant will be shared with Oberweis’ original Oberweis Dairy and Ice Cream Store, like all four of the That Burger Joint locations. The burger chain has locations in Glen Ellyn, Bolingbrook, Naperville and Skokie, but has yet to expand outside of Illinois like the dairy counterpart. The company has offered home deliveries of Oberweis products in the area

INAUGURATION you have a lot of politically motivated students who are on this campus and who really care about the issues,” Haydary said. “We need to tap into that resource, and we need to get back in touch with the people that we obviously left behind in this election.” Timothy Kilcullen, vice president of Illini Republicans and senior in LAS, said the Illini Republicans are focused on creating a conservative voice on campus and the community. Kilcullen said the political divide in the nation has been exaggerated. “My belief, which is shared by most of our members, is that if we are able to clearly articulate our ideals, students will realize that they share a lot of the same values as us,” Kilcullen said. “The GOP has a bad stigma on campus, but I think when people get

Oberweis Dairy and That Burger Joint will open at the location of the previous Atlanta Bread Company on South Neil Street. It’s set to open in July. for about two decades. Oberweis Dairy originated in Aurora, Illinois, and the Oberweis family has strong ties to Champaign. His mom and dad met right on campus, in the Illini Union bowling alley. While the area around Marketplace Mall and Prospect Avenue hasn’t
changed much, Oberweis said he noticed that there has been a lot more development on South Neil recently and that even Green Street looks tremendously different from when he was a student here. “I studied business management and was there until 2000,” Oberweis said.
Many of the Oberweis family attended the University and Oberweis said his nephew, Jack, is currently enrolled as a freshman. However, the decision to open up a location in Champaign wasn’t necessarily personal, he said. While there is no shortage of burgers and ice
cream on and around campus, Oberweis brings a household name and a family-friendly atmosphere. That Burger Joint is also very affordable for college students who may be on a budget, as everything on the menu costs less than $10. Marcin Piechocki, fresh-
man in DGS, said that he is really excited for the restaurant to open. He said he often went with his dad when he was growing up. “Nothing brings back the memories of my childhood like Oberweis and burgers.” Piechocki said.

They also look toward working with other political groups on campus such as Democrats and Libertarians to organize debates. As for concerns that have been raised by many, the concerns the Illini Republicans hold for their party are different. “(We make) sure the administration is respectful of our beliefs,” Kilcullen said. “Though by and large the school has been extremely helpful and encouraging, the club does feel that too many classes are biased towards specif-
ic ideologies and too many school events, particularly in Campus Housing, excludes conservatives.” With the shift in power that has created an abundance of protests throughout the country and the

ruption and lies. He said it’s about helping Americans to no longer be ignored and to help them fi nd their voice. As for other political groups on campus, like Illini Libertarians, the past election demonstrated an intensified political polarization. Sam Erickson, founder and president of Illini Libertarians, said there is a misconception that voters only have two parties to choose from. “What people fail to realize is that you don’t have to agree with every single detail in order to align with a party,” Erickson said. “On top of that, there are far more than two parties in this country, which could grow and are growing, if people would stop buying into this ‘lesser of two evils’ fallacy.” Erickson said sharing views with other groups is feasible by collaborating with similar groups like Young Americans for Liberty and Turning Point
USA. “We’d even be willing to work with College Republicans, Illini Democrats and Illini Young Green Party in any areas where we share a point of view. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to reach across party lines if it’s to support something we both stand for,” he said. Though the change in the presidency won’t affect the Illini Libertarians’ goals as an organization, their goals are still to support topics they agree with, and they hope to focus more on how to connect with others. “With last semester being all work and no play, we’ll probably try to hold more social events this semester,” Erickson said. “We’re also thinking about trying to organize a debate with all the other partyaffi liated political groups on campus, to help highlight how we’re alike and how we’re different.”

hristine Hartman of Savoy sat on a bench in Champaign’s West Side Park while her friends searched for their group, the League of Women Voters. She goes by Bamm and carries a cane wrapped in rainbow yarn. Hartman has chronic pain and depression. She received expanded Medicaid and is frightened about recent efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “I have very generous friends who will help me out, but I know that I am an exception; I am not the rule,” Hartman said. “There are so many thousands of people who will die; that’s unacceptable to me.” Hartman isn’t alone. Thousands of men, women and children descended to the park Saturday morning for the Women’s March on Champaign-Urbana. Hosted by the Champaign County Young Democrats, the event is one of 673 registered marches worldwide in affiliation with the Women’s March on Washington. Steve Donaldson drove down from Bloomington, Illinois. Although he came with his daughter and two granddaughters, he has another two granddaughters, two daughters and two sisters.

Carr didn’t go for one reason; she came for anything that falls under human rights. “They said everything that I would have said, which is respecting everyone, making sure that America is a place that should be welcoming and (where) people want to come.” After marching, attendees were encouraged to head to Cowboy Monkey, where post-march programming continued. Organizers announced during the opening rally they created an original drink at the bar named “Nasty Women.” For every purchase of the drink, the bar donated a dollar to Planned Parenthood. As of Saturday afternoon, 2,479 people had RSVP’d for the event on Facebook. Prior to Saturday morning, organizers expected between one to two thousand attendees. Although they did not attempt counting an official turnout, they estimated nearly 5,000 people attended. According to the national march’s website, over an estimated 2.5 million people marched worldwide.

University political organizations adjust after inauguration BY KAYLA MARTINEZ STAFF WRITER
THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO
CNN politcal commentator Symone Sanders reaches out to the student body by emphasizing the importance of voting in the presidential election on Oct. 10.
November’s election results spurred a boiling pot of mixed emotions from people throughout the nation, and Inauguration Day added to preexisting notions and doubts for some. Political groups on campus are reiterating who they are and what the next steps are in moving forward post-inauguration. Spencer Haydary, president of Illini Democrats and senior in LAS, said after 2016’s Democratic loss, the organization has focused on getting back in touch with the American people.
“(We felt) shock,” Haydary said. “We really underestimated what the power of hate is and what the power of divisiveness is. It’s a mixed blessing in some sort of way now that we are able to really re-envision the role of the Democratic party.” After the tumultuous rhetoric that took place during election season, the Illini Democrats anticipate placing its concerns in advocating for students of all backgrounds. “We’re really concerned with the safety of undocumented students on this campus and that any sort of violence is going to be committed towards any
minority group, with the status of LGBT members at the University and as well as throughout the country,” Haydary said. The Illini Democrats’ next steps consist of pairing with members of the community, planning and promoting an ad campaign and working with other campus leaders and activist groups in order to fulfill its democratic work on campus and making students’ voices heard, as well as discussing how to move forward and what the new presidency means. “We’re going to mobilize our student body because

Can Groce turn on the lights this season? MATT GERTSMEIER Illini hoops columnist
J
ohn Groce has an interesting analogy about execution. In a recent teleconference, the Illinois basketball coach made the claim that working hard can only get a team so far. Without proper execution, hard work won’t produce results. Groce, being a basketball minded man, gave an explanation that most common folk can understand. He referenced the 1989 holiday classic, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. “I always use the Christmas Vacation movie as (an) analogy for it,” Groce said. “Chevy Chase is out on the front lawn, the lights aren’t working, his father-in-law is making fun of him, and his daughter basically says, ‘but grandpa, he worked hard,’ and grandpa says ‘so do washing machines’.” First of all, that’s a great movie. While Groce may not have the best judgment when it comes to creating starting lineups, it appears he has good taste in movies. National Lampoon has made a lot of flops, but Christmas Vacation is defi nitely top-five — depending on how you rank the vacation movies — and, of course, behind Animal House. When breaking it down, Groce’s reference
makes a lot of sense. Chase’s character, Clark Griswold, puts in a ton of work and puts up 25,000 lights on his house. However, it’s hard to acknowledge Griswold’s dedication and work ethic when the lights fail to work. The same can be said about the Illini. The effort and attitude might be there, but at the end of the day, without any accolades or achievements, it’s hard to really appreciate the work. Under Groce, Illinois’ best Big Ten standing fi nish is seventh place. Its best conference tournament fi nish has been the quarterfi nals. Only one of Groce’s teams has made the NCAA Tournament, but that was in 2013 with a roster of Bruce Weber’s recruits. Groce prides his teams on toughness and togetherness. While I agree that’s a good mentality to have, it hasn’t always resulted in winning games. Winning games is fun. Remember 2005? But, that 2005 season happened over a decade ago and this year looks to be on track as another disappointment, similar to recent years. Groce and Griswold are more alike than different. Both are likable guys. You can’t help but root for them. They’re both optimistic, well-intended family men who face adversity — lots of adversity. Griswold deals with the pressure of the holidays, pleasing the relatives with a great Christmas and using
a Christmas bonus to build a pool in his backyard. I’m unsure if Groce has any home improvement plans, but he’s certainly under pressure to please the athletic department and Illinois fans. Each season at Illinois his win column has decreased. His road record is 15-34 and he is 10-29 against top25 teams, according to Illinois basketball’s website. I personally think Groce and his players work hard. But it’s evident that they struggle to get results. Griswold eventually gets the Christmas lights to work and it’s a glorious site. The holiday season doesn’t go exactly as planned, but it all works out for him, including a Christmas bonus to build the pool. Groce is trying everything he can to get those lights on. There’s still time for Illinois to turn this season around. Eleven games remain for the season as the Illini sit 12-8 and 2-5 in the Big Ten. If Illinois starts executing, Groce could create a Christmas miracle — albeit a few months late. Who knows? Maybe the lights will never come on for Groce. However, at least he works hard. But so do washing machines.

Illini remain winless on the road BY JAMES BOYD STAFF WRITER
At the end of the third quarter of Illinois' women's basketball's game against Ohio State on Sunday, Illini guard Jaelyn Kirkpatrick dribbled the ball up the court for the fi nal shot of the period. She attempted to throw the ball inside to freshman Sarah Overcash, but it was stolen by Buckeyes' junior Asia Doss. Doss shot the other way and knocked down a running three-pointer at the buzzer. She then “Hit Dem Folks,” a hip-hop dance made popular by rapper Bankroll Fresh, before heading over to her team’s bench. The t h r e e - p oi nter put Ohio State ahead by 31 points and was the highlight of the Buckeyes' 88-64 victory in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes' Kelsey Mitchell scored a gamehigh 22 points behind six
made threes, and Stephanie Mavunga led the way defensively with nine rebounds and four blocks. F reshma n Bra nd i Beasley helped the Illini start strong by nailing her fi rst three shot attempts and put Illinois ahead 6-0. S o ph o m o r e S ie r r a Calhoun fi nally put the Buckeyes on the board, with just under eight minutes left in the fi rst quarter. Ohio State then reeled off five more points to take the lead — they never looked back. In the fi rst half Illinois struggled to find any offensive rhythm, but Beasley did her best to keep the Illini within striking distance. A jump shot by the freshman moved her up to 13 points in the afternoon. With 1:34 left in the half, the team only trailed by three points. But Mitchell answered with a three-pointer and sparked a 9-0 run by the Buckeyes
that put any chance of an Illinois comeback out of reach. Sophomore A lex Wittinger recorded her seventh double-double of the season, but struggled to score against a tall Buckeye squad. Wittinger scored just two points in the fi rst half and shot just 5-15 from the field. Ohio State used its length and size to pressure Illinois from the start of the game. The Buckeyes used a fullcourt zone press against the Illini which caused several turnovers. Ohio State capitalized off of those mistakes by scoring in transition and getting to the foul line. I l l i noi s’ defe n sive scheme was not as effective. Ohio State shot just 44 percent from the fi eld, but the Illini’s 2-3 zone allowed for many open looks beyond the arc. The Buckeyes made their visitors pay by knocking
down 15 three-pointers. The win helped Ohio State improve to 7-1 in the Big Ten and extended their conference win streak to three. It has been nearly two years since the last time the Illini defeated the Buckeyes, and the all-time series now stands at 49-20 in favor of Ohio State. Illinois left Columbus, Ohio, still in search of its fi rst road win of the season. The team is now 0-8 on the road and 0-4 in conference when playing away from the State Farm Center. The Illini will be back at home to take on Maryland on Thursday night, and a win could put the team back at .500 in conference play. Illinois’ next chance at a road victory will be next Sunday when it travels to State College, Pennsylvania, to take on Penn State.

Power rankings DAILY ILLINI BASKETBALL STAFF
Editor’s note:Every week, The Daily Illini sports staff ranks the basketball teams in the Big Ten, 1-14, and compiles the lists into its own Big Ten power rankings. 1. Wisconsin 16-3, 5-1 The top Big Ten team in the AP top-25, the No. 17 Badgers get the job done against teams they should beat, but fails to get the job done against elite teams. 2. Purdue 16-4, 5-2 While its ranking may not show it, No. 21 Purdue is one of the best teams in college basketball. The Boilermakers’ front court is scary talented, with sophomore Caleb Swanigan and junior Isaac Haas. 3. Maryland 17-2, 5-1 Maryland basketball has been on a tear, but it hasn’t played the toughest of opponents in the Big Ten. Still, any team with Melo Trimble can prove to be dangerous and the Terps will have an opportunity to showcase that soon with games against Purdue and Wisconsin. 4. Indiana 14-6, 4-3 The Hoosiers have fallen since being ranked No. 11 in the AP pre-season poll. Indiana has yet to beat anyone really good in the Big Ten. James Blackmon Jr. is third in the Big Ten in scoring — averaging 18.3 points per game. As a team, Indiana leads the Big Ten in field goal percentage. 5. Northwestern 16-4, 5-2 This Northwestern team could be pretty darn close to squeezing itself into the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. Chris Collins has done a good job of reshaping this team with junior Scottie Lindsey and redshirt sophomore Vic Law leading the way. 6. Michigan State 12-8, 4-3 This is a young team for Tom Izzo and he certainly put them through the ringer to start the year. Michigan State recently suffered back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Indiana. But, this is an Izzo team we are talking about. I fully expect the Spartans to turn things around and compete for the Big Ten championship. 7. Michigan 13-7, 3-4 Michigan’s worst loss of conference play was against an Illinois team that shot lights out, 64 percent from both the field and deep. The Wolverines have won two of their last three games and could be on the upward swing with senior Zak Irvin carrying the team. 8. Minnesota 15-5, 3-4 This Gophers team is tough. Head Coach Richard Pitino and Minnesota might be currently in the midst of a three-game losing streak. But each loss — with the exception of an away game against Michigan State — has been by just two points. Minnesota has one of the best defenses in the conference, leading the Big Ten in opponent three-point percentage and second in opponent field goal percentage. 9. Iowa 11-9, 3-4 Iowa has been pretty inconsistent, but it notched an impressive win against Purdue, which helps its case among other 3-4 Big Ten teams. Senior Peter Jok leads Iowa and the Big Ten in scoring, averaging 21.6 points per game. 10. Penn State 11-9, 3-4 Like many of the other bottom feeder teams of the Big Ten, Penn State has continued the trend of being inconsistent. The Nittany Lions most impressive victory was a nine-point win over Michigan State. Seeing as Head Coach Pat Chambers doesn’t have the loaded roster that other teams in the conference possess, this is a pretty strong start for Penn State. 11. Ohio State 12-8, 2-5 The Buckeyes started off Big Ten play with a fourgame losing streak, including a loss to Illinois. That’s pretty bad. Ohio State is currently on a two-game win streak and things might be turning around for them. The Buckeyes' next three games include beatable opponents playing around the same caliber. 12. Nebraska 9-10, 3-4 The Cornhuskers started the conference season off with a three-game winning streak, but have since fallen off the map. Nebraska is now on a four-game losing streak, including a loss to Rutgers. 13. Rutgers 12-8, 1-6 Rutgers is bad. But, it just notched its first Big Ten win of the season against Nebraska in its seventh conference game. Believe it or not, Rutgers is third in the Big Ten in both opponent points allowed and blocked shots per game. 14. Illinois 12-8, 2-5 The Illini wrap up the end of the power rankings because they have been struggling drastically. In the midst of a three-game losing streak, nothing is clicking. The Illini need to start winning on the road and make an attitude adjustment.

FROM 1B
MENS GYM behind with a 81.200. The consistency of the Illinois' performance was what Head Coach Justin Spring was most proud of. "With the Arizona State titles, it's more about the score we put up and our hit percentages and our stuck landings, things you maybe wouldn’t see by looking at the results," Spring said. "(These are) things I know to be important about where we are in the season and to be the best in the conference at the end of the year."
After this win, the Illini moved up to third in NCAA rankings. Spring doesn’t see the rank as a target on his back but rather more reason to push harder. " That’s k i nd of a reoccurring theme, always ranked lower but finishing higher," Spring said. "For some reason, people want to count us out, but we continue to overachieve. We are the underdog that’s kind of already overachieved. No one on our team and no one in our program questions our potential."

WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
Shaky start hurts Illini in Michigan BY DANIELLE WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s gymnastics team fell to rival Michigan 197.050 to 195.300 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, this weekend. Earlier this week, head coach Kim Landrus said that the team needed to worry about the things that they can control, but the Wolverines' skill seemed to outmatch the Illini's. Freshman Karen How-

ell took second place in the all-around competition with a season-high score of 38.225. Despite Howell's strong performance, the Illini had a shaky start in the first rotation. Howell fell off during her first attempt at the uneven bars, which deducted points from her final score. Mary Jane Horth, who scored a 9.850, was the only Illini to score in the top five spots for the uneven bars, tying with two other gymnasts from Michigan. Erin Buchanan was just behind with a 9.625. “I was really proud of how the team started the competition,” Landrus said. “We had a mistake on bars, and they responded extremely well."

In the second rotation, the team stepped up their game but still fell short to Michigan by .350 points. Horth, Sarah Lyons and Lizzy LeDuc all earned a 9.750 on vault, putting them in fourth place. Howell and Buchanan each added a 9.700 and Rae Balthazor scored a 9.675. Michigan kept a steady lead in the third rotation with a score of 147.600 over the Illini’s 146.300 points. LeDuc led the Illini on the floor, scoring a 9.825
— good enough for fourth. Following LeDuc were Bridget Hodan and Brielle Nguyen with 9.775 points each. Buchanan, Howell and Haylee Roe all added 9.750 to the team score. Illinois finished the balance beam — the final rotation — with a 49.000 to add to its final score, 195.300. Leduc took the lead as the only other Illini to place in the top three, scoring 9.850. Hodan scored 9.825 to take fourth place. Horth tallied a 9.800 and
following behind her were teammates Howell with 9.775, Nguyen with a 9.750 and Roe with a 9.725. “After two sub-par events, they bounced back on beam and had six stellar performances,” Landrus said. “To me, that says a lot about their character.” The team will take on Penn State at home next Sunday for its annual Pink Meet.

SWIM AND DIVE
Sentimental Senior Day celebrations not enough to help muster win over Nebraska BY ERICH FISHER STAFF WRITER
It was an emotional scene before the start of Saturday’s Illinois swim and dive meet when seniors Audrey Rodawig, Amelia Schilling and Gabbie Stecker received their bouquets of flowers. Tears soon became noticeable from the three seniors as each one came to the realization that Saturday’s meet against Nebraska would be the last time they'd look in the stands and see home fans at the ARC pool in Champaign. “We came in wanting to make a statement,” Stecker said. “We knew this was going to be a tough meet but we wanted to come out with a bang and I think we did that.” The three seniors made their presence known early on in the meet. Stecker and Rodawig swam impressive splits in the 200-yard medley to help give the Illini the event, while Amelia Schilling won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.25. Nebraska did not let its slow start get to them, recovering by winning the next three events. Rodawig helped the Illini climb back into contention, securing a victory in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.13 seconds. Rodawig said that it was very important for her to perform well in the competition, knowing that this was her last meet. “We’re just so fortunate to be here and be a part of this team and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” said Rodawig. However, since Nebraska took the top three spots in the 10-meter diving category, Illinois found themselves facing a 84-66 deficit — silencing the crowd and possibly any momentum the Illini may have gotten after Rodawig’s victory. “I thought we were good, I knew we were going to have to weather some storms,” said Illinois Head Coach Sue Novitsky. “A lot of it was going to come down to depth, we had kids sick and some injured so we knew we were going to have to step up.” Momentum was on Nebraska’s side come the start of the second half of the meet. The Cornhuskers edged out the Illini in the 100-yard freestyle and 200-

The Illini will be out of the pool until Feb. 15 when they compete in the Big Ten Championship. While the meet marks the end of the regular season for the Illini, this particular meet meant a lot more to the seniors who will never step back into the ARC pool for competition as an Illini. “It’s been awesome, these girls have been like a second family to me, and I love each one of them so much,” said Schilling. “We’re so sad to leave. These last four years have been amazing.”

HOCKEY
Cruickshank scores game winning goal against Lindenwood at three apiece. Illinois went into the third period with a twogoal lead, but Lindenwood struck quickly by scoring two goals. The Lions finished the period with 21 shots on goal compared to Illinois’ four, attacking the net in the game’s final frame.
BY DRAKE PENA STAFF WRITER
After ending the weekend with a shootout win at home, the Illinois hockey team took one of two games from reigning ACHA champions Lindenwood. Coming into the series, the Illini had lost the previous two matchups to the Lions. The team continued its drought into the first game. Lindenwood defeated Illinois 6 -2, using four unanswered goals to seal the victory after the game was tied mid-way through the second period. Head coach Nick Fabbrini believed that his team played better than the scorecards would lead some to believe, commending his team for continuing to stay on the attack. “I thought (the game) went pretty well,” Fabbrini said. “Friday, the score wasn’t indicative of our play. We outshot them and had very good scoring chances, including a few breakaways.” Saturday proved to be a nail-biter for both teams as the third period ended with the score knotted up
(Lions) are always a top team, but with our recent success we are looking forward to the matchup.” Fabbrini said he thinks his team will keep playing with the swagger it displayed over its recent stretch of games. “When we get everyone going, I think we can be one of the best teams in the country,” Fabbrini said. Indiana comes to town next for a weekend set of games. The Hoosiers have been on a downslide of late after losing their last five in a row, including two 8-0 shutouts to Grand Valley State. Fabbrini said he is not taking them lightly, treating the game as any other and expecting a win at the end of the day. “We are going to have a couple of guys gone, so that means some different guys in the lineup and some guys getting opportunities,” Fabbrini said. “We want to win, so we are treating it like any other game and winning is the most important outcome.”
“When we get everyone going, I think we can be one of the best teams in the country.” NICK FABBRINI HEAD COACH
In the shootout, Illini goalie Joe Olen held Lindenwood scoreless, stopping all five of the pucks he faced. Center Eric Cruickshank knocked in the game-winning goal for Illinois. Fabbrini was proud of the way his veteran goalie played, working through his previous hip injury which is now all but healed. “We are very confident,” Joseph Ritondale said. “The

WRESTLING
Illini defeat Wolverines in top-15 Big Ten clash BY BRIAN BINZ STAFF WRITER
Illinois wrestling emerged looking like a top team after taking down No. 15 Michigan Friday, 34-6. The No. 12 Illini got key wins from seniors Zane Richards and Zac Brunson and junior Kyle Langenderfer over higher ranked Wolverines' opponents. Illinois head coach Jim Heffernan complimented Richards, who bounced back from a loss against Ohio State on Jan. 15. Richards’ win gave the Illini a 9-0 lead that they never relinquished. “Zane really needed to answer the bell, and I think he did,” Heffernan said. “He wrestled well with some emotion and fire.” No. 1 nationally-ranked junior Isaiah Martinez continued his undefeated year with a 3-1 victory over No. 2 Logan Massa. “When you have a big one versus two matchup … there’s nothing like it … not just for me, but everyone gets excited," Martinez said. "This is the most people I’ve seen at a dual in a long time." The nearly 1,300-person crowd was boisterous all night, constantly cheering and lobbying the referees

Richards won by decision, and the Illini defeated the Wolverines 34-6. The Illini’s victory moved their record to 3-2 overall and 2-2 in the Big Ten. for points for the Illini. “(The crowd) makes us get up — a lot of the guys on the team shine bright when a lot of people are around,” Langenderfer said. The Illini finished the night
with pins by junior Brooks Black and sophomore Emery Parker at heavyweight and 184 pounds, respectively. The Illini moved to 3-2 overall with the largest win over a ranked opponent since
2008 and now sport a 2-2 record in the Big Ten. “This was the most complete dual we’ve wrestled,” Langenderfer said. “I think this will propel us into the rest of the dual season and
hopefully charge us into nationals.” The Illini faced Northern Illinois on Sunday, winning 25-12. Richards, Langenderfer, Martinez, Parker and Black all had victories.
Illinois resumes Big Ten play on Friday with a match against Michigan State at Huff Hall.

Hiltzik earns title of Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week BY MEGHAN REST STAFF WRITER
Aron Hiltzik kicked off his junior season by being named Big Ten Tennis Athlete of the Week for the second time in his career. Hiltzik has received First, Second and Academic All-Big Ten honors throughout his career at Illinois and is currently ranked No. 29 in the Big
Ten. He also snagged a runner-up title in his first professional tournament in October. But, as he said, he’s just getting started and last week's honor is a step in the right direction. “I’ve got bigger goals for the rest of the season,” Hiltzik said. “Going All-American is what I’m looking towards, but get-

ting Athlete of the Week definitely means I’m doing well and starting the season on a good note.” Over winter break, Hiltzik used boxing to sharpen his tennis skills and make his dream of becoming an All-American a reality. “Kickboxing helps get me into a good mindset and really sharpens hand-eye
coordination,” Hiltzik said. Hiltzik said he was inspired by his favorite athlete, mixed martial artist Conor McGregor. “I started reading and lea r ni ng more about (McGregor), and it was all so interesting,” Hiltzik said. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my god, this is the coolest thing I’ve read.’ He’s a really confident
guy.” Hiltzik’s “fighter mentality” has spewed over into his success at Illinois and in the Big Ten. During his time at Illinois, he has gone 60-19 in singles competition. Hi ltzik said keepi ng momentum in singles is important, but improving in doubles is one of his goals this season.
Hiltzik and freshman teammate Aleks Kovacevic went undefeated in their singles competition debuts in Atlanta. “We’re all really excited," Hiltzik said. "We have a lot of things to work on, but what we’ve seen so far is pretty positive."
