Community rehabilitates gun violence offenders BY LILY MASHAYEK STAFF WRITER
There have been 84 shooting incidents in Champaign-Urbana since Jan. 1. Community leaders say they’ve had enough of the gun violence and are now taking a targeted approach to eliminate it. Nine offenders identified as being at risk of either partaking in or perpetrating gun violence were offered another chance on Thursday as part of a new program called CU Fresh Start. “Our community is facing an epidemic of gun violence,” said Urbana Chief of Police Patrick Connolly. “The goal of the initiative is relatively simple – stop the shooting.” Representatives from Champaign and Urbana brought in the offenders for a call-in where they spoke to them and encouraged them to put down their guns. “The cycle of gun violence has to stop now,” said Champaign Mayor Deborah Feinen, who was the second speaker at the call-in. “You are shooting at the community and we won’t tolerate it any longer.” Feinen said that it is not uncommon in this community to know not only those who were shot, but also the shooters. If the offenders choose to take part in the program, they will be offered help and resources from the community. “We recognize that we can’t arrest our way out of this problem,” said Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh. However, if they decline the offer and continue to engage in gun violence, they will face consequences such as possible incarceration. Tracy Parsons, community coalition facilitator, said the program is based on a similar one in Peoria. He said this is the first time Champaign-Urbana has had a program like this, but that “it’s important and critical.” In order to partake in the program, the offenders must be at least
PREDICTING THE ELECTION LILY KATZ THE DAILY ILLINI

University project forecasts presidential election results BY MICHAEL SEMACA STAFF WRITER
New political polls are popping up daily to predict whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will win the presidency as election day approaches. With the sheer number of polls, it’s hard to keep track of all the competing data. But a group of University computer science students have a solution. The project, “Election Analytics @ Illinois,” attempts to analyze all available polls to provide an overall sense of who is likely to win on Nov. 8. RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight are similar websites but the University’s group believes it can actually predict the election better than these giants. The site’s goal is to provide a clear idea of which candidate is statistically ahead, said Sheldon Jacobson, a computer science professor who created the website before the 2008 election. “We’re nonpartisan; we don’t have any
biases,” Jacobson said. “We don’t blog about it; we simply give you the facts.” Jacobson believes their algorithms are better than FiveThirtyEight. “The algorithms that we’re using are based on fairly sophisticated methodologies that, unless you have done doctoral work, you may not understand how to use them,” Jacobson said. Their methods were published in peerreviewed journals on their website. Most websites do not let visitors see their techniques for determining polling numbers, he said. “We’re very transparent, and we let people see exactly what we do,” Jacobson said. “We’re not trying to promote one candidate or another, that’s not our job. We don’t care.” Unlike other websites, Election Analytics takes the raw data each poll gives and uses their rigorous algorithms to present the odds each candidate has of winning if the election were held that day.

SOURCE: ELECTION ANALYTICS @ ILLINOIS AS OF OCTOBER 9, 5:00 P.M.
As of Sunday evening, the group determined Hillary Clinton a 100 percent chance of being the next president, with Donald Trump having a zero percent chance. This is significantly more extreme than other websites; for example, FiveThirtyEight says Clinton has a 81.3 percent chance of victory, with Trump having an 18.7 percent chance. Jacobson acknowledged this discrepancy, but believes in the system he and his students have designed. But some people remain skeptical, he said. “They say, ‘Wow, how could this be possible?’’ Jacobson said. “But once again, I always say, ‘Look at our record,’ and when you look at the deeper analysis we’ve done, it’s like, ‘This is pretty interesting.’” The group does have a successful record; in 2008, their model correctly predicted the outcome of every state with the exception of Indiana. In 2012, their model again accurately predicted every state except one: Florida. Sophomore in Engineering, Niraj Pant, who works on Election Analytics as a web developer, said there are a few possible reasons for the discrepancy between their website and others. Unlike other poll aggregators, he said, Election Analytics doesn’t do anything to mess with the data. “Not many people report about this, but a lot of sites skew their results to look more favorable and to increase pageviews,” Pant said. He said they are not looking for pageviews, but instead want people to see results. Pant decided to do research at the University in order to work on a project like Election Analytics. He is pleased with their ability to compete with such big websites. “We’ve seen other research groups take pieces of our model, so it’s incredibly validating to see it being proven in the real world,” Pant said. semaca2@dailyillini.com

Students gather to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi
BY SABRINA YAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The College of LAS is offering a new minor in Global Markets and Society this fall. The application period began on Sep. 15 and is open until Oct. 15. The minor is offered through the Global Studies department and focuses on topics such as corporate social responsibility, fair trade, global supply chains and sustainable business practices. “The curriculum focuses on how markets interact with institutions such as the governments or intergovernmental organizations, and people, individuals like you and me, in a global sphere,” said Dr. Tanu Kohli, acting associate director of LAS Global Studies and instructor of GLBL 270, one of the required courses.

On Thursday, retired University professor Rajmohan Gandhi spoke to a crowd about a birthday observed around the world: his grandfather’s birthday. Why was it so special? His grandfather was Mahatma Gandhi. “Why don’t we celebrate the birthday of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill? These are two great contemporaries of Gandhi,” Rajmohan Gandhi said. “We know that in some ways, Gandhi was seen as a miracle worker because he mobilized millions in India from a very large and diverse population.” Rajmohan Gandhi’s speech was the keynote of the Indian Student Association’s Gandhi week, commemorating Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday on Oct. 2.

Rajmohan Gandhi spoke about his grandfather and the change he spurred, as well as that ideology applies to students. Discussing prejudice, he encouraged fi nding mutual understanding to resolve confl ict. “There has to be a desire to tackle and confront prejudice,”Rajmohan Gandhi said. “In other situations, you have to befriend and win their

Fraternity works to eliminate prejudice on campus BY ASHLEY HARRIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Because of frequent incidences of hate crimes on campus, one fraternity wanted to make a difference. Pi Lambda Phi created a weekly “Elimination of Prejudice Talk” to provide a safe atmosphere for students to talk about controversial issues. The fraternity understands these talks as a way to represent its values. “We usually did a couple of events once or twice a semester, but we wanted to do more on a regular basis,” said Nicholas Hakmiller, Pi Lambda Phi marshall. “Something small every week that can help further our goal of eliminating prejudice.” Delvan Willis, president of Pi Lambda Phi, said creating the talks, which occur every Thursday, was easy. But the challenging part was deciding what topics to cover. For the talks, the fraternity decided to cover a diverse set of issues from Colin Kaepernick and his stance for kneeling during the national anthem to the legalization of samesex marriage to the Flint Michigan water crisis, Willis said. But, Willis said, no matter the topic, the main goal is that the attendees take away a positive outlook and understand that not everyone has the same opinion and that’s OK. Students are allowed to freely express their ideas and stances on topics, while the fraternity leaders maintain a neutral stance. The leaders do their

Pi Lambda Phi fraternity member, Usepe Lozano, signs the “Wall of Prejudice” on the Main Quad. The fraternity hopes the wall will provide a safe space for students to write hurtful names they’ve been called. best to create a comforting atmosphere and to make the talks open so people can share ideas that aren’t always the majority belief. “I think a lot of the people who hesitate to come to the talks are afraid to actually talk,” Nahum Corona, a fraternity member. “It’s OK for people to come and just listen. We’re completely comfortable with that fact.” The purpose of the talks is to make the University students comfortable in their own ideas, and to slowly eliminate the prejudice feelings and actions
on such a diverse campus, Willis said. “It defi nitely changes the people who actually attend the talks,” Willis said. “I see the changes in them personally, and that inspires change (in) everyone else.” Willis has noticed the change from those who come to the talks and speak out as well as hear other ideas. But the fraternity hopes to expand it beyond those who attend the talks. During this week from Monday to Friday, the fraternity will have several
planned events to expand their goal to eliminate prejudice. They hope to reach a larger audience with events ranging from a potluck of cultural foods to “tearing down the wall of prejudice” — a wall on the Main Quad where people can write hurtful things they’ve been called. In a week of events, the fraternity hopes to get more of the University community involved to complete their mission — eliminate prejudice.

Illini Democrats, Republicans debate election issues BY KAREN LIU CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A month away from the end to a contentious presidential election, the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is one of the hottest topics on campus. The Illinois Student Senate hosted a debate between the Illini Democrats and Illini Republicans. The debaters represented different parties but spoke on behalf of their own personal views at the
Question from moderator
Illini Union Thursday night. “The time for constructive and open political discourse on campus is now needed more than ever,” according to the Illinois Student Senate Facebook page. Evan Keller and Rahul Raju represented the Illini Democrats. Stephanie Menezes and Tayven Urbanc represented the Illini Republicans. Debaters from both sides expressed their views on some of the contemporary prob-
lems regarding today’s society. Each side had its own moderator. Nigel Howard represented the Illini Democrats and Grant Taylor represented the Illini Republicans. Throughout the two-hour debate, the two moderators gave out questions on topics including refugees, federal minimum wage, climate change and the Illinois ACCESS bill. The moderators also added a follow-up question regarding Donald
Trump’s plan of building a wall along the border of Mexico and the United States. At the end, the moderators asked each side to come up with one policy proposal that they would like to see passed by their party in office. The democratic side chose comprehensive immigration reform, and the republican side expressed that it would like to see the Affordable Medical Act repealed so that individuals can

Although they represented different parties, the debaters were ultimately surprised by discovering they had similar views on certain topics. “Democrats and Republicans agree on a lot of things,” said Raju near the end of the debate, “and that is profoundly powerful.” karenl3@dailyillini.com

Would stopping refugees entering the country help prevent terrorism?
“No. America has a complete process for emitting refugees, and the chances of refugees participating in terrorist activities is very limited.“
“Yes. We cannot efficiently conduct the process of emitting a refugee due to situational factors.”
Should the federal minimum wage be raised?
“Yes. A low minimum wage may lead to those with low-income having little motivation in working and more reliance on social services.”
“No. Raising minimum wage will lead to fewer jobs and a higher unemployment rate.”
Do we need to build a wall along the Mexican border?
“No. It’s not fiscally responsible, effective or necessary.”
“No. Border security is important but the wall is not necessary, and it’s too expensive.”
Should the Illinois ACCESS bill be passed?
“Yes. All students should be given the chance to pursuit higher education regardless of their citizenship status.”
“No. Financial aid is funded by taxes. Therefore it should be given to the students, whose parents pay federal tax.”
How do you address public access to guns?
“Increase limitations. There should be cooling off periods, background checks so that we can reduce gun violence.”
“People should be allowed to own guns to protect themselves ... but adequate background check is necessary.”

and Society, six hours of core courses and nine hours of specializations courses. There is also an optional capstone project that students can participate in, which can include research with a faculty member or field experience with a market-focused organization. “Students undertaking the degree will take courses from across the College of LAS,” said Dr. Timothy Wedig, interim director of LAS Global Studies. “The courses work around the idea of the mixture of skills, some sort of marketable skills, courses in economics for example, professional writing, as well as content, maybe courses dealing with particular aspects of personnel management.” By adding these courses into the minor, the curriculum is supposed to show students how their major in LAS is applicable to a wide range of potential careers. “The justification of the minor is that within the College of LAS, there are lots of courses, lots of ways to apply majors in the sector of markets in particular,” Wedig said. “And we notice among our majors that the utility of what they are doing in the LAS is lost on them, in terms of thinking about how they might apply to business, non-profit organizations.” Even though the minor is offered through the College of LAS, it is open to all undergradu-
as this can be sort of designed that students can select courses within their specialization for non-profit, for the public sector, where that intersection of market and society occurs,” Wedig said. There are informational sessions about the minor being held at the Global Studies Conference Room on Oct. 17 10:30-11 a.m. and Nov. 10 from 1-1:30 p.m.
tain motive,” Vaikuntapathi said. “It is important to know how other religions and cultures relate to each other.” Rajmohan Gandhi spoke directly to the Indian community from Mahatma Gandhi’s point of view about intercultural connection between Chinese and Indian communities. Yet, the speech drew a diverse crowd. As an African-American student, Damerrick Perry, sophomore in DGS, attended the event to learn more about hinduism and the University’s indian culture. For him, Gandhi’s messages are especially important on campus in light of the recent fatal shooting in campustown. “With the University’s current events, a lot of people have been affected by the shooting and this is a place where people can come together and support each other,” Perry said. ISA’s External Vice President, Namrata Mandhan, junior in LAS, introduced Rajmohan Gandhi. She is in charge of connecting ISA to other campus organizations. Mandhan noted the week of events was created to bring awareness to Mahatma Gandhi’s impact on society. “His nonviolence and promotion of peace in living a happy and simple lifestyle,” Mandhan said. “This week is dedicated to making sure people remember his legacy.”

There was a similar program within the College of Business called the Center of International Business Education and Research, CIBER, which was photos of incarcerated people that were posted.

And so that was the gap that we looked to fill in,” Wedig said. However, there is a significant difference between CIBER and this new minor. “CIBER was very much designed for students interested in working in business, whereThe first to speak was Rodney Williams, a community member who was previously incarcerated. He urged the offenders to take advantage of the resources that were being offered by CU Fresh Start. “In 2006 when they released me … I didn’t have the resources that you got now,” he said. Rodney’s brother, Seon Williams was also a speaker at the event. Seon also pleaded with the offenders to accept the help they were being offered. “It saddens me because I know you guys, you’ve been in my barbershop,” he said. “The reality is once you pull that trigger and murder someone, you can’t wake them up anymore.”
Michael DeArmond, whose daughter was killed on the Fourth of July in 2012, while he was still in prison, said they “can do something better than pulling out these guns.” “We’re sitting in this room tonight and all of us look alike and I’m hurt because we’re killing each other for nothing,” said Reverend Rickey Parks, pastor of Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. “When are we gonna stop killing each other?” DeArmond and Parks encouraged the offenders to not only think about the impact of their actions on themselves, but also on their families, friends and community. “Y’all young brothers don’t understand how (gun violence) just hurts,” DeArmond said.
CU Fresh Start Community Liaison Donté Lotts, who has known some of the offenders at the callin for years, said he would personally help them get away from the gun violence. “I’m here to empower each and every one of you because you showed up,” he said. “It’s time for you guys to change.” “Please consider the offers of help, we will do our best to help you,” Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing said. There are many possibilities, Lotts said, such as going back to school and getting a job. But they have to take the first step — to put down the guns. lmasha3@illinois.edu

EDITORIAL Locker room talk doesn’t stay inside
F
oolish words lead to action. That’s what Donald Trump and other powerful people don’t seem to understand. And their words, and the violent actions that those words can encourage, directly affect students on campuses around the country. Sexual assault has affected millions of Americans. These people are sisters, daughters, wives, brothers, sons, husbands and friends. But locker room-type banter reduces them to mere objects. “Beautiful” objects that people like Trump “can’t even wait to start kissing.” Can’t even wait for consent. When powerful men believe that they’re entitled to use women, even married women, as they please, they are directly contributing to the rape culture on college campuses, including our own. Locker room talk happens everywhere. On the large scale, those who have money and power believe they are owed affection from anyone they set their sights on. And in Trump’s case, he clearly believes that personal fame is the only form of consent needed to make a move on an unsuspecting woman. However, it’s not just people in positions of power who participate in such talk. People like Trump have proven that locker room talk doesn’t fade away with age. Disturbing things are said ev-
ery day by people who then try to reduce these words to mindless banter or justify with “boys being boys.” A friend of the editorial board attended a FYCARE meeting this semester. She was thoroughly unnerved when a group of young men in her class said that the clothes a victim may be wearing at the time of the assault are a
possible cause of the assault. They later suggested that a woman has an obligation to finish any sexual act that she begins.
These words may be excused by the public because of “immaturity and foolishness,” similar to Trump’s line of excuses in his public “apology.” But the reality is that this banter is not just banter. When people are talked about as though they are objects, others begin to believe that they should be treated as objects as well. This is why we cannot accept that what is said as a “joke” between guys in the locker room are just words with no consequences. We see the consequences of this culture face-to-face. We see them in the eyes of our friend who is crying after being assaulted. We hear them in locker rooms at schools, where young boys are repeating things that they have heard from powerful men. And we see them in the media every day, as people excuse vulgar language when it comes from someone in a position of authority. Words that result in violent actions are not just words. Please think before you speak — and vote in this year’s election.
Where’s the editorial about Hillary? Sad!
BILLY GALANT THE DAILY ILLINI
Supporting Trump means discarding decency ISABELLA WINKLER Opinions Columnist
D
onald Trump has proved once again that he really is as deplorable as Hillary Clinton claims he is. A new video from 2005 of Trump saying truly disgusting things about women surfaced Friday night, adding just another instance to his list of atrocious offenses. “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet,” he says in the tape. “Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
His supporters jumped to defend him in the most fallacious way they know how. “Can we focus on what Hillary DID not what Trump SAID,” tweeted Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. “When people voted for Donald Trump, they knew he wasn’t an angel,” said Corey Stewart, Trump’s Virginia campaign chairman. “They are not concerned that, at times, Donald Trump acts like a frat boy. Sometimes he does, but that’s OK.” Corey Lewandowski told CNN that “we’re not electing a Sunday school teacher,” as if the leader of the free world should be held to lesser standards than those of a Sunday school teacher.
What these men fail to realize is the impact of these statements and how Trump’s comments about women have piled up since day one of his candidacy. If they imagined Trump talking this way about their wives, daughters or mothers, perhaps they could see why these comments are indeed deplorable. Basic human decency should be a value expected of a presidential candidate. Trump defended his statements by calling them “locker room banter,” but his character has never been so obvious. There’s a difference between harmless guy talk and condoning sexual assault. Reducing Trump’s comments down to banter not
only dismisses his sexually aggressive tendencies, but it tells women that their experiences with sexism are no big deal because, well, boys will be boys. What’s worse is that Trump’s supporters truly believe that Clinton’s email scandal is unforgivable but continue to let Trump get away with far worse. “People are human, they do human things,” said Ben Carson’s spokesperson. “It’s nothing unusual that somebody committed adultery on their spouse. Women do it. Men do it. Should we be shocked by it? No.” But Clinton will never be able to live down her history as secretary of state or her use of a pri-
vate email server in their eyes. If Trump supporters are willing to forgive his vile and derogatory comments because “people are human” and “they do human things,” then forgiving Clinton should be a piece of cake. If we expect a man who uses his money and power to have his way with women to act with decency in the oval office, we are mistaken. This should also be an epiphany for anyone who was planning on not voting because they hate both of the candidates. It’s up to you to decide who to cast your ballot for, but think about the little girls who will have Donald Trump to look up to for the next four years. Think about the three
reported sexual assaults on campus during the fi rst week of school and how Donald Trump would do nothing to better the sexually violent climate that our society lives in. Think about the countless women who Trump takes advantage of as perks of being a celebrity. If you’ve been a Trump fan since day one, and you’ve stuck with him through all of the dirt that’s been dug up, then this revelation may not change your mind. But to anyone who is on the fence or trying to decide between the lesser of two evils, the choice has become even more obvious.

friend Eric complains to me that he studies in his fraternity room all the time and has a hard time concentrating on his work. From the loud music to the yelling boys, it shouldn’t be a surprise that his fraternity house isn’t the best place for a study session. However, lots of students choose to also study in the confi nes of their supposedly quiet dorm room, and even that’s not a smart decision for many reasons. The obvious distractions begin with loud roommates or floormates. If your roommates don’t feel like studying, they could play loud death-metal music, practice their tennis grunts or bring friends over to make salsa. This will distract you from your study groove and may even tempt you to take breaks to join in on the fun, which you may not be able to afford. Beyond your roommate, there are students above, below and to the sides of you in a dorm room. From the boys above you who like to play hockey in the halls, to the girl right next to you who continuously calls her boyfriend from Indiana to
sob about how much she misses him, these scenarios aren’t constructive for your studying. Also, dump your dorm desk. It is unusable; make a table out of it, or do what I did and convert it into a makeup station/dump zone for all of your clothes, papers and books. The college desk is supposed to be piled high with anything and everything; it’s a rule of dorm life. In fact, even if you don’t make this a solid aesthetic choice, it is bound to happen over the course of a few weekends here on campus. So just try to study on the few inches of desk you have remaining and get back to me. Your room has a bed as well. And at one point or another we have all tried to convince ourselves that we could study in it. It doesn’t work. Even if you don’t start to feel drowsy after the 10th page of that political science textbook, then you are at least sure to begin losing the intensity of your study pace. Or you may be like me and just decide to rest for a few minutes and end up falling asleep for two hours. This isn’t a fun situation to deal with, trust me. Our dorm rooms are so accessible that to some it doesn’t make sense to study anywhere else. Eric, my stubborn friend, told me that he won’t leave his
fraternity house out of convenience — he’s too lazy to bring his textbooks to the library. However, libraries create a necessary separation between your personal life and academic life. Everyone at the library is getting their studying done, and being along with them helps create that motivating vibe that will push you to fi nish all your work. In fact, doing activities in your bedroom that make you anxious about sleeping, such as fi nishing work or getting a head start on a project due next week, can hinder the bond between sleep and your bedroom according to the National Sleep Foundation. As college students, it is important to get as much sleep as possible. And if studying in your dorm room can obstruct that, then the library is defi nitely the way to go. When it comes to being successful, some students may study better in a slightly noisy environment. In fact, in 2013 a study by our university revealed that the level of noise common in a café boosts productivity. This campus is bursting with study spaces for group projects, independent work, quiet studying, social studying, late night studying etc. These options are open to you and are much more use-
ful than a desk in your dorm room where distractions are galore. So, I recommend that Eric, and all of you, my fellow readers, fi nd a new spot
to study if you have been using your dorm room. It might be the UGL, Espresso or even outside of the Union, but your dorm room should be reserved for sleeping and
relaxing, and making your bed all the sweeter.

TRIP Telluride, Colorado; Steamboat Springs, Colorado and Breckenridge in Colorado. This year, the club will be leaving for Big Sky on Jan. 7 and will return on the Jan 14, and members can be on the mountain from Jan. 9-12. People with all levels of ski and snowboarding experience are welcome to attend. Usually 250-300 people go on the seven-day trip. Rasio explained members, non-members, alumni and people who don’t attend the University are welcome — the fee for this year’s trip is $530 for the trip and $195 for transportation. Past events have included
concerts and nights out on the mountain. At Breckenridge, the chalet on the top of the chair lift was opened and they had a DJ and a bar. The club even participated in the Ullr Fest at Breckenridge that year. Although club members like Frankie Granata, junior in LAS, have been on prior trips before, that doesn’t take away from their excitement for a new adventure. “I am very, very excited. … My dad always told me we need to go out west to see the stars and I didn’t understand who would want to go out there at first, but then this opportunity came up,” Granata said. “I’ll be able to go out West and see the stars and see the mountains, but also have fun during the day

Safety apps provide peace of mind to students walking home on campus BY ELYSSA KAUFMAN STAFF WRITER
For Kate Maurer, senior in Media, living in her sorority house meant a far walk back at night. In order to add comfort to her almost-off-campus walk home, Maurer downloaded LifeLine Response. L i feL i ne Resp onse is a safety app that connects directly to police stations and allows for direct communication in dangerous situations. It’s one of many mobile resources students can use when they are alone and don’t feel safe. The app works when the user puts his or her thumb on a button while walking, and if they remove their finger for a certain period of time, the app sends a warning message asking if it was a mistake. There is also a timer option for longer distances. If the user does not click the message to report a mistake, the app will call 911 and track their location. “I used it because I lived in a sorority house pretty much off campus and I didn’t feel safe walking there at night, alone, just because there wasn’t a lot of lights or anything,” Maurer said. When living far from campus, Maurer said she would frequently take a bus home from the library or bars. Besides using the bus as a safe way to get home, Mauer also said she used the Uber app. “I would consider the Uber app a way to keep yourself safe,” Maurer said. Rachel Banoff, senior in Engineering and LAS, also said she felt relieved

and the campus community. Communication Specialist for the University of Illinois Police Department, Patrick Wade, said a series of four alerts were sent out that
Sunday morning. “Just about everyone on campus knew immediately about what happened,” Wade said. He said the first alert was sent out 12 minutes after the incident occurred and the alert was sent to tens of thousands of people. Wade explained the importance of checking up on friends when Illini alerts are sent out. “If you get an Illini Alert that something just happened and you think your friends might be in the area, absolutely text or call them if you are concerned to see how they are doing,” he said. “That way, if you don’t get a response then that’s your cue to call the police.” Wade said he encouraged more students to sign up for the alerts at emergency. illinois.edu. The University police, Wade said, always tell students is that if you see something suspicious, or if you think yourself or someone else is in danger, either leave or call the police because they are happy to help. He said students should not walk alone at night, should stick to familiar well lit places and can always call safe walks if they do not have someone to walk with. “Everyone has that kind of sixth sense of, ‘this doesn’t feel right, or I think something is about to happen,’” Wade said. “When that alarm goes off in your own head, it’s usually because something weird is happening.”

Crouch gave Illinois football a chance at win BY COLE HENKE STAFF WRITER
Late in the second quarter, Illinois starting quarterback Wes Lunt took a late hit from a Purdue defensive lineman. He didn’t get up right away, and soon the Illini training staff was on the field checking on him. Simultaneously, the crowd of around 42,000 people went silent. He walked off and later headed to the locker room, never returning to the field. But six plays later, the crowd got as loud as it had been all game, thanks to back up quarterback Chayce Crouch. Despite losing to the Boilermakers 34-31 in overtime, Crouch kept the Illini in a
game after it seemed like it was over when Lunt went down. “I just kept telling out guys, we got to score, we got to score, we got to score,” Crouch said. “I kept telling our defense that every possession we got to make a big stop, and I am just trying to stay as vocal as I can.” Crouch has a different style than Lunt; he can run the ball, prompting the Illini to switch to a read option offense as soon as Crouch entered the game. The Illini ran the ball on the next 10 plays. Head Coach Lovie Smith said Crouch exceeded all expectations when he took over the game. “Chayce Crouch was out-
standing,” Smith said. “As a backup quarterback, you get some reps, but to come in like that and run the football and keep plays alive was absolutely outstanding.” Crouch said he has one goal every time he steps on the field: making plays to put his team in the position to win. When he was in charge of the offense Saturday, the Illini had the opportunity to win the game with a field goal in the last seconds of regulation. Crouch passed for 142 yards and rushed for 137 yards, which were both game highs for the Illini. He also ran for two touchdowns. But when overtime came around, he commit-
ted his first turnover of the game — a fumble on the Boilermaker 10-yard line. Purdue went on to hit a game winning field goal on the next drive. “What happened (with the fumble), happened,” offensive lineman Joe Spencer said. “Chayce played his heart out. I couldn’t be prouder of the guy coming in and some of those hits he took and kept his composure, and I applaud him. Heck of a job.” Crouch took over a running game that dominated Purdue. He joined backs Reggie Corbin, Kendrick Foster and Ke’Shawn Vaughn in rushing for 315 yards in the game. Before Crouch entered
Turner’s catch not enough for Illini win
the game for Lunt, the Illini had nine points, all from field goals. After Crouch entered the game, the Illini scored 22 points. Those 31 points were the most that the Illini had scored since the season opener against Murray State. Crouch was not the only one to step up for the Illini with wide receiver Malik Turner turning in career game for the Illini and acting as a reliable target for Crouch. Turner had nine receptions for 129 yards — a career high for the junior receiver. While Turner made a bunch of plays for the Illini, he gave the credit for the Illini’s offensive explosion
to Crouch. “He gave us life, you know? He came in when his number was called,” Turner said. “He stepped up. He made plays. He looked like a regular out there ... and played a big role.” But ultimately, Crouch said none of that mattered: It didn’t matter that he turned in a career high game or that his 137 rushing yards were the fourth most that any Illini quarterback has ever recorded. He just wanted the win. “I don’t feel well. We lost the game,” Crouch said. “Anytime you lose, you know you can play better.”

Power rankings DAILY ILLINI FOOTBALL STAFF
Editor’s note: Every week, The Daily Illini football staff ranks the football teams in the Big Ten 1-14 and compiles the lists into its own Big Ten power rankings. 1. Ohio State (1) — The No. 2 Buckeyes remain atop the Big Ten summit with a convincing win over an upand-coming Indiana team. J.T. Barrett couldn’t get it going through the air, but with the type of ground attack Ohio State has in its arsenal — 290 total yards between three rushers Saturday — the nation’s No. 1 spot doesn’t seem too far off. 2. Michigan (2) — Sure, it was against Rutgers, but a 78-0 win over anyone deserves a double take. The Wolverines scored at least 14 points in each quarter and tied a school record with nine rushing touchdowns, two of which belonged to Jabril Peppers in his return to his native New Jersey. 3. Wisconsin (4) — With a Week Six bye, they enjoyed an extra week to prepare for Ohio State’s visit to Madison this week. 4. Nebraska (3) — The undefeated Cornhuskers also saw their bye week roll around, giving the bangedup Tommy Armstrong some time to heal up before what should prove to be a tough test against Indiana this week. 5. Penn State (5) — The Nittany Lions took down the previously undefeated Terrapins on Saturday and have now won two-straight conference games. Saquon Barkley did his thing, piling up 202 yards on the ground to nearly match Maryland’s 270 total offensive yards. AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois wide receiver Malik Turner tips a pass that he would later catch during the game against Purdue at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Turner finished with 129 yards and was quarterback Chayce Crouch’s go-to target.

Illini need to put pieces together CHARLOTTE CARROLL Sports editor
W
here does one even begin with this loss? Illini fans can’t put the entire loss on Chase McLaughlin. The kicker had been perfect up until his missed field goal as the game ended and went to overtime. It’s unfortunate, but statistically, he’s bound to miss a little and it just happened at an unfortunate time. Illini fans also can’t put the entire loss on Chayce Crouch. He came in as a backup quarterback and played as strong, if not stronger, than anyone anticipated. Head coach Lovie Smith has been preaching the next man up strategy all season. Today, it finally seemed to come to fruition. He went 137 yards on the ground with two touchdowns. He threw 10 for 14 with 142 yards, including a one handed miracle catch from receiver Malik Turner. Smith said Crouch was outstanding for the position he was in. He was. When Crouch took over in the second quarter, he gave life to the Illini with a 26-yard rushing touchdown. He was reminiscent of former quarterback Reilly O’Toole, who would do anything to move the chains in his senior season two years ago. It wasn’t always pretty, and if he keeps it up, there will be a day when the Illini likely have to go to their third string. But there was an offensive passion that hasn’t really been seen all season. The numbers were not spectacular, but you could tell they wanted that win
badly and were going down without some type of fight. The fourth quarter was the most exciting football Illini fans have seen this season, even if it was against one of the worst teams in the Big Ten. It started with a touchdown drive with four penalties — one roughing the passer and three unsportsmanlike conduct ones. Two of those unsportsmanlike conduct flags were against seniors Joe Spencer and Justin Hardee, experienced players who let emotion get the best of them. The Illini were fired up and trash talking after the roughing the passer call, and once more after they
scored. But the defense couldn’t hold the momentum, and Purdue tied with a touchdown on the next drive. The possession battle was about even, which was an improvement after last week’s dreadful time deficiency where the defense was out there for almost double the time of the offense. For the first time this season, it was the offense that showed composure, minus the last 30 seconds and overtime. The defense couldn’t stop the third down — Purdue went 9-of-16 on third down attempts. Each time, the Illini made an impor-
tant stop, it seemed the Boilermakers would break free for a critical first down. However, if Smith wants a win, he’s going to have to figure out a way to put the two sides together. Crouch can’t flip into the end zone on every play. McLaughlin can’t make every field goal. And Smoot can’t make every sack. There needs to be a cohesive sense of play on both sides of the ball.

6. Iowa (10) — The defending West Division champs have had a wildly inconsistent season thus far, but two straight road wins keep them in the conversation to repeat. Heightened play from quarterback CJ Beathard (two interceptions on Saturday) will certainly help. 7. Indiana (6) — Kevin Wilson’s crew kept it respectable in its loss to Ohio State and was even able to exploit the Buckeye’s thin receiving corps. A second back needs to emerge behind Devine Redding in order for the Hoosiers to continue their upwards climb in the East. 8. Maryland (8) — DJ Durkin has plenty to be concerned about after his team’s first loss, especially with the mid-game exit of quarterback Perry Hills. The Terps allowed 372 rushing yards and will face a must-win contest against the Gophers this week. 9. Minnesota (11) — The offense has been on life support in the Gophers’ two straight conference losses, especially on third down — they’re 12 for 35 over the past two weeks. Quarterback Mitch Leidner has one touchdown and four interceptions in his past three games. 10. Northwestern (9) — The team up north seems close to righting the ship after last week’s upset win over Iowa and had Week Six off to gameplan for the reeling Spartans. 11. Michigan State (7) — Before the season, the thought of placing a double-digit ranking on the Spartans seemed like a joke, but after three-straight losses, no one in East Lansing is laughing. The three-game losing streak is the first of Mark Dantanio’s squad since 2009. 12. Purdue (13) — Just five games into the season, Darrell Hazell has more wins than he’s totaled in any season since arriving at Purdue in 2013. The Boilermakers’ overtime win lowers the temperature on Hazell’s seat just a bit, but the schedule doesn’t get any easier. 13. Illinois (11) — After hanging around on the road against Nebraska, all signs pointed to a big conference win at home, but the Boilermakers had none of that. Lovie Smith doesn’t like to dwell on a loss, but that one had to hurt a little more than usual. 14. Rutgers (14) — The Scarlet Knights have been outscored 136-0 over the past two weeks. It’s safe to say there’s no vacancy in the cellar of the Big Ten.
McFadden wins seventh Chicago Marathon BY DAILY ILLINI SPORTS STAFF
AUSTIN YATTONI THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois head coach Lovie Smith talks to the referees after a penalty during the game against Purdue at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Illinois’ Tatyana McFadden won yet another Bank of America Chicago Marathon in the women’s wheelchair race Sunday morning. It is her sixth-consecutive title in the race, and she finished in one hour, 42:23 seconds. She finished last year with a record time of 1:41:10. This year she beat out Manuela Schar and fellow Illini Amanda McGrory, who came in second and third respectively. McFadden won her first major marathon in Chica-
go in 2009. She became the first athlete — able-bodied or otherwise — to win all four major marathons in the same year in 2013. She repeated the task in 2014 and 2015. McFadden was coming off an impressive performance at the Rio Paralympics, where she fi nished with six medals — with four gold and two silver. She now has 17 medals as a five-time U.S. Paralympian in track and Nordic skiing.

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini football writers graded each facet of the Illinois football team’s 34-31 loss to Purdue on Saturday. The Illini offense, defense, special teams and coaching were graded.
GAME TO FORGET Illinois’ Chase McLaughlin The sophomore kicker is in his first season starting for the Illini. Entering the game, McLaughlin was one of only 10 kickers in the FBS who had not missed a field goal all season. He missed a 41-yarder that would’ve won the game for the Illini.

Chase McLaughlin had been perfect all season up until the last three seconds of regulation, when he put a 41-yard field goal off the right upright. McLaughlin may have not missed a field goal in his short Illinois season, but that does not change the fact that he had the game in his hands. Ryan Frain made his return to Memorial Stadium and had a solid game punting for the Illini, minus one bad punt that only traveled 17 yards. Kendrick Foster continuously put the Illini in good field position on kick returns. He averaged 21.5 yards-per-return.

QUOTE OF THE GAME Lovie Smith “Every loss hurts, but some do hurt a little more than others. This is the one that hurts a little bit more. We had opportunities in the game that we couldn’t get which didn’t help us win the football game.”
F-
After the 22-play drive that the Illini had to endure against Nebraska, the focus was getting off the field after third downs. The lesson didn’t stick for the Illini. Purdue converted on 9 of 16 third downs, including six straight in the first half. Boilermaker quarterback David Blough had all day to deliver the football. The Illini defensive line did not sack him once, and only hurried him twice the entire game. 3-0Blough threw for 228 yards and a touchdown, but he also had two interceptions. The Boilermakers had 231 1-1 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. After the 2-0 game, head coach Lovie Smith said that the Illini need to 1-1 control the opponent’s run game better, and that the sec2-1 ond line of defense past the defensive line needs to play better if they want to have a chance. The defense did make one of the biggest plays of the game when linebacker Hardy Nickerson Jr. intercepted a tipped pass from Blough late in the fourth quarter, but it was negated when the Illini missed the game-winning field goal.
F
F-
The Illini offense had its best performance since the game against Murray State, tallying 499 total yards against Purdue — 315 on the ground and 184 through the air — and 31 points. Before he left the game with an injury, Wes Lunt could only get the Illini in field goal range. But when Chayce Crouch took over, the Illini focused on their run game and started finding the end zone. Crouch had a career game off the bench, running for 137 yards and two touchdowns while passing for 142 yards. Reggie Corbin, Kendrick Foster and Ke’Shawn Vaughn kept the pressure on the Purdue defense with the run game. Between the three of them, they recorded 178 rushing yards on 29 carries.

The only facet of the game that the Illini did not look prepared in on Saturday’s game was the defense, and according to Smith, that had more to do with players not performing to the level they are capable of. The offense took a major blow when Lunt left the game, but immediately turned around and started scoring even though Crouch brought in a different system when he took over. The first six plays that Crouch played under center were read-option plays, something the Illini have never and will never play with Lunt on the field. The other players on the field did not miss a beat with the change. The Illini offensive line created gaps on the inside and hustled out wide to open up running lanes for Crouch and the running backs. Once the run game really got going, the Illini receivers knew they could get open. The Illini offense was prepared for anything Purdue or injuries could throw at them.

SOCCER
Former Illini honored for her ongoing battle with cancer Ramirez receives support and dedication from team
BY MASAKI SUGIMOTO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
In 2005, the Illinois soccer team was in a tight NCAA tournament match against Florida. In double overtime, Christen Karniski made a pass to Laura Redmond. Redmond took a shot from three yards and scored to beat the Gators. The Illini cheered as they had upset the team hosting the first round of the tournament and would move on to face the No. 2 seed, Florida State. Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield saw Redmond’s face and saw the joy that came from all the hard work that Redmond had put in as the workhorse midfielder for her team. After her soccer career ended in 2005, Ramirez, whose former last name was Redmond before her marriage, would have to deal with something bigger than anything she had seen on the pitch. Ramirez was diagnosed with leukemia in 2007 and is still battling it to this day. In 2010, Ramirez lost her mother to leukemia and her father to liver cancer earlier this year. It was difficult for her
loved ones to see her going through one heartbreak after another. It was especially hard because of the impact she had on other people. Paula Randall has known Ramirez since high school when they played club soccer together. Later they would go on to play together at Illinois. “Every time you are around her you want to laugh,” Randall said. “Just her spirit is what people will always remember.” Rayfield echoed those sentiments. “It is Laura who always makes us feel better after we chat with her since she has such a great outlook,” Rayfield said. “We call to see if she is okay, but sometimes I feel we are just trying to make ourselves feel okay.” Throughout her battle with cancer, Ramirez has used humor and lightheartedness to make those around her at ease. “For myself it’s always been this way,” Ramirez said. “I don’t want to dwell and be sad. Keeping a sense of humor and keeping it lighthearted is my motto.” Rayfield was someone who got to witness that firsthand. Once Ramirez was diagnosed, Rayfield tried to find any chance to go see her. After witnessing 11 years of Ramirez go through this battle, Rayfield and the soccer program decided to do something special.
Before the Illinois soccer game Thursday, Rayfield told Ramirez that she would be honored for her struggle for cancer awareness night. What she didn’t tell Ramirez is that they would dedicate an award in her name. With the assistance of her husband, Ramirez got out of her wheelchair and stood with Rayfield on the center line. The PA announced the dedication of The Laura Redmond Ramirez Legacy and Inspiration Award, that will be given annually to an Illinois soccer player who exhibits the same traits that Ramirez did during her playing career and her everyday life. Once she heard the announcement, Ramirez put her hands over her face. Tears rushed down both her and Rayfield’s faces, and the two embraced one another. Rayfield told Ramirez that the whole program loves her and that legacy and inspiration are the perfect words to put on the award that would be in her name. “Knowing that they have supported me throughout my whole ordeal means so much to me,” Ramirez said. “Getting the award is just really great.” At halftime, a video played that featured Rayfield describing the battle that Ramirez had gone through. Another video played featuring current players speaking about the people in their lives that
have been impacted by cancer. Rayfield had been using Ramirez as an example for her current players to teach them about the legacy they want to leave at Illinois. “It is very humbling,” Ramirez said. “The girls are very supportive of me. They don’t know me that well, they just know of my legacy. It is such a nice feeling to have.” For Rayfield, Thursday night felt similar to that NCAA tournament game against Florida 11 years ago. Illinois managed to pull off a major upset against a Michigan team that had not yet lost in the Big Ten. When Rayfield heard Ramirez’s husband, John, yell “Let’s go get those Wolverines!” she saw the same competitive spirit in Ramirez’s face as she had after the goal against Florida. After the game, Ramirez, her husband, former teammates and their children and Rayfield gathered at the large block “I” at the center of the pitch. They had talked about how great the surprise was with the award, how great the game was and took the chance to catch up and reminisce on the good times that they had shared on that field. At the end of the night, everyone around Laura Ramirez was smiling.

ON BASKETBALL
Kiir makes his official visit to Illinois this weekend this however you want, but by the end of the visit Finke was the latest follow Kiir made on Twitter. Finke is a great pairing for Kiir to shadow. If Kiir were to commit to Illinois, he would have two years to play alongside Finke. Kiir’s game is also quite similar to Finke's. The 6-foot-10 sophomore has a strong balance between his inside and outside scoring presence, much like what Kiir has demonstrated in highlight tapes. With the official start of Illini basketball practices this week it was a great chance for Kiir to get an upclose look at Illinois basketball culture. I spoke with Kiir about a month ago and I think he would fit in nicely with head coach John Groce’s system. One of the biggest takeways from our conversation was his work ethic. He was determined to continue to build his recruiting stock despite being added to ESPN’s Top-100 for the class of 2017. And I’m not the only one

hile all of the members of the Illinois basketball team were ready for pictures last Friday at Illini Media day, there was one athlete not in uniform — but that might change in the near future. Three-star forward Mayan Kiir took his official visit to Illinois on Friday. At 6-foot-9, Kiir towered over the row of journalists who filed into Ubben. I’m not sure when the last time his recruiting profile was updated, but Kiir looked to be close to 7-feet tall. Kiir arrived on campus Thursday and immediately posted a picture from an Illinois basketball practice on his Twitter. Kiir’s Twitter was blown up with warm receptions from Illini fans. The big man from Bradenton, Florida, appeared to be under the wing of forward Michael Finke. Interpret
who thinks Kiir is bound to commit to the Illini. Scouts are predicting a commitment to Illinois. If Kiir were to commit, he would be the fifth addition to Groce’s class of 2017. He would be the third recruit in ESPN’s Top-100 (Jeremiah Tilmon No. 37, DaMonte Williams No. 92). Kiir’s addition would definitely improve Illinois’ recruiting class rankings that is ranked No. 3. Kiir would be the second big man in Illinois’ class of 2017 and his size will be much needed. The Illini will be losing centers Maverick Morgan and Mike Thorne Jr. due to graduation after this season. Kiir, being much closer to 7-feet than 6-foot-9, would be a nice replacement for Illini’s two bigs. The Illini will lose consistent rebounding and shot blocking from Morgan and Thorne Jr. The length that Kiir possesses allow him to be a presence down low, both on offense and defense. He has demonstrated a strong understanding of his

While he has tremendous height, he could add some weight to his frame. But after seeing the work that Illinois basketball’s strength coach Adam Fletcher did
this offseason, I am not concerned with Kiir adding muscle and size. Overall, it appeared that Kiir’s visit was a success. He received a warm welcome from fans and received a great taste of what Illinois can offer. I
think there’s a good chance Illinois fans will see Kiir in an Illinois uniform at next year’s media day.

Illini Media is currently looking for a few energetic, resourceful, friendly and motivated sales/advertising folks to complete our sales team. Yes there is some cold calling, but there are also existing client lists and trained sales reps to learn from. Our sales reps get great hands-on experience so they’re ready to step into a job in media, sales, advertising and/or marketing when they graduate and leave us. Sales Reps at Illini Media have an opportunity to make commission and bonuses based on meeting and exceeding sales goals. They’ll also gain real world experience selling print and digital media as well as radio and other non-traditional avenues.
Come join our team today! Please email Melissa Pasco to apply. mgpasco@illinimedia.com
