University research now open to public New open access policy gives members of the public access to view research articles By Christin Watkins Staff writer

history of military connection to the University. “It specifically looks at our relationship with creating disability services for World War II veterans, all the way through the development of the (Center for Wounded Veterans),” Osborne said. He added that the Rotary Club will host a “One-on-One” event with guest speaker Major General Melvin Spiese, a 37-year Marine Corp infantry officer. Osborne said he thinks it’s more accurate to call students who have served, ‘military connected students,’ rather than veterans. “What that can mean is those who served in the military and essentially did their time and got out and are now full time civil-

The Academic Senate voted in October to “open access” to the University’s research and allow members of the public to view faculty research articles. The open access to research policy will only apply to journal articles published after the policy goes into effect. Faculty members will send to the Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship, IDEALS, said Dan Tracy, library and information science and research services librarian. The University publishes many research articles regarding new advancements and technologies that were previously unavailable to the public. “I think one of the major effects will be broader availability and ... visibility,” said John Wilkin, Dean of Libraries. “It will have this cascading effect,” he said. “More people and more institutions (will) see the results of our work.” The Senate said opening access to University researchers’ work will create a discussion within the scholarly community. According to the resolution, “The Faculty recognizes the benefits that accrue to them as individual scholars and to the scholarly enterprise from such wide dissemination, including greater recognition, more thorough review, consideration and critique, and a general increase in scientific, scholarly and critical knowledge.” The policy won’t cause a dramatic change in research, but the change will allow the University to disseminate its

In honor of Veterans’ Day, a display called “A Continuum of Pioneering Service: A History of Military Support at the University of Illinois” was shown at the Main Library on Tuesday.

University hosts campus events for military connected students Veterans recognized for their commitment

“You get a huge sense of American pride among a lot of the veterans around this time,” she said. “We’re not patting ourselves on the back, we’re honoring those people who have made great sacrifices before us, in previous generations.” Veterans Day — annually recognized on Nov. 11 — is a day where Americans recognize veterans for their life-long service to the nation. However, Starks said she doesn’t think it should be a day for handouts or special charity work. Starks said veterans are human and appreciate when people thank them for their service. There are various events going on around campus this month in honor of veterans, where students can show their respect. During the Nov. 14 football

For many students, Veterans Day is a time to salute veterans and show appreciation for all they have done for the U.S. However, for veterans themselves, the day takes on a different meaning. Patricia Starks, National Guard veteran and president of Illini Veterans, said she has seen “a sense of pride and honor” in her colleagues over the past week.

game, Starks said veterans will walk out onto the field, and an AC-130 will fly over, piloted by University alumni veterans from the 182nd AirLift Wing. The Native American House will host a ceremony at 8 a.m. Wednesday. “It’s mostly an opportunity for us to honor veterans,” said Hattie Holtapp, office support specialist at the Native American House. “Within American Indian culture, generally, veterans have a very special place. So this is our effort to recognize that.” Holtapp said the event is not specifically for Native American veterans. Nicholas Osborne, interim director of the Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education, said the main library will showcase a display that illustrates the rich

Hashtag highlights diversity

Rallies planned for contract negotiations

By Samantha Jones Toal Staff Writer

Every day, students pass by hundreds of strangers as they walk around campus. Briefly, they might take notice of what someone’s wearing or what they look like. Now, with the launch of the Illinois Student Senate’s Faces of Champaign campaign, students can get to know individuals beyond just recognizing their faces. Twice a week, the ISS plans to post a picture of a student on their Facebook page, accompanied by a story about their background along with the hashtag “Faces of CU.” “It’s basically a campaign that highlights the diversity on campus in a way that makes sure everybody’s voices are heard,” said Farah Chalisa, senior in LAS and chairwoman of the Cultural, International and Minority Student Affairs subcommittee. She said that CIMSA exists to make sure all minorities on campus are represented, especially in regards to the student senate. Naveed Akhter, senior in LAS, helped Chalisa start the initiative. He is also a member of CIMSA as well as the photographer for the initiative. To create the content for each post, Akhter finds different minority students and then asks them about their background and involvement on campus. “Increasing inclusivity means increasing voices,” Chalisa said. “We don’t want to hide diversity, we want to highlight diversity.” The campaign began on Oct. 26 and, so far, the first two posts have accumulated a combined 150 “likes.” Tara Chattoraj, sophomore in LAS and ISS director of Communications, said the Facebook posts have reached 7,663

different people so that you can use them in yourself,” Simmonds said. “It can add on to who you are and allow you to become a better ‘you’ overall.” Simmonds said he thinks the campaign will mainly reach those seeking diversity. “It’s not going to reach those who are already in their niches,” he said. He also explained that if it reaches as many people and groups as possible, it could help promote diversity on campus. The student senate plans to continue the campaign at least throughout the semester and possibly into the next year. Chattoraj mentioned plans to continue working on their social media presence and potentially broadening the initiative to the ISS website. Overall, Chalisa said the purpose of the project is to showcase differences and increase acceptance on campus. “We’re trying to highlight the fact that we’re all different, but we’re also all the same,” she said. “We’re emphasizing that we’re a diverse campus and that benefits us.”

people since the start of the initiative. “I think it’s really been resonating with our audience,” she said. “My roommates had no idea that I was any part of this and were still really excited about it.” Both Chattoraj and Chalisa compare the project to the popular Humans of New York Facebook page, in which people in New York City are photographed and asked questions about their lives. Around 15 million people support, or follow, the project based on Facebook “likes.” Chalisa said Humans of New York’s success inspired them because everybody has a story to tell. “On campus we have a lot of diversity, but it’s not always represented,” she said. “We come from so many different backgrounds that it’s easy to fall back into your subgroup of diversity.” Jamal Simmonds, senior in Engineering, was spotlighted by the campaign at the beginning of November. He shared his story and thoughts about diversity on campus with Ahkter, who then shared it on the ISS Facebook page. “It’s great to learn about the cultures of

KoFusion coming soon Asian restaurant set to open in the Illini Union food court by January

Each year, the survey ranks concepts and vendors. The Illini Union speaks to vendors in order of student preference, and the past surveys are what led to KoFusion being added to the Union, Holmes said. “The surveys from the past two years have ranked Asian as the most desired, non-represented concept for the Illini Union food court, with KoFusion

By Lillian Barkley Assistant Copy chief

A new year will bring a new restaurant to the Union food court. Before students return from winter break, KoFusion is opening its third restaurant next to Sbarro’s Pizza by January 2016. “The Illini Union is very excited to be able to partner with KoFusion,” said Lori Holmes, Union Vending coordinator, in an email. “This partnership fills a void identified by our students for local, fresh and healthy Asian.” The shop will fill the space of Rice Garden, which closed May 18, 2014, after results of the Illini Union’s campus-wide survey showed the restaurant only ranked in the middle and the restaurant’s contract was set to expire.

ranking as one of the highest-desired brands,” Holmes said. KoFusion’s use of fresh, healthy food and a wide variety of options was a draw for students and the Union.

“KoFusion utilizes only the highest quality of ingredients in an appetizing, creative and visually appealing fashion” she said. This restaurant will be much like its location at 701 S. Gregory St., Urbana, which has won multiple awards from Buzz for its sushi. The Urbana location has a limited, casual menu in comparison to the original Champaign restaurant, but both offer $1 sushi roll pieces. With a few months left before the opening, the menu is still being finalized, but sushi and made-to-order entrees will be available. Holmes said Asian-style salads are also being considered. Because KoFusion will be part of the Union, a percentage of every purchase goes to support Union programs. Holmes added that the Union is dedicated to providing students with restaurant-quality dining. “KoFusion’s practice of providing traditional Asian food with a flavorful twist is popular with our students,” she said.

service members — last for more than just one day. “It is something that has a lot of events taking place both on campus and within the community,” he said. “I think that that shows both the campus community and larger community have a very deep sense of appreciation and support for service members.” Osborne also emphasized veterans’ importance to a diverse campus.

Veterans given death penalty without regard for PTSD Richard A. Serrano Tribune News Service

Noting that some 300 U.S. veterans are sitting on death row in prisons around the country, an advocacy group Tuesday called for greater efforts to assist battlescarred former troops who are convicted of capital murder after their military service. Researchers from the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington concluded that judges, prosecutors and even the White House sometimes fail to appreciate the effect that post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental issues can cause for returning veterans. “Capital punishment stands out as a questionable punishment for those who have served in the military,” said Richard Dieter, the center’s senior programs director and formerly its longtime executive director. “Even today, there are veterans on death row with PTSD that was unexplored at their trial or undervalued for its pernicious effects.” Dieter called for a “thorough examination” of America’s veterans on death row, targeting the timing of the report to the Veterans Day observance Wednesday. He said prosecutors and judges should be “aware of a veteran’s military background as soon as capital charges become possible,” as well as any mental problems from his service record. “A broader understanding of the interaction between jarring trauma and the later eruption of violence could pave the way for a thorough re-evaluation of society’s approach to violence and mental illness,” he said. More should be done “in a country that is proud of its renewed respect for veterans.” Kent Scheidegger, however, legal director of the Sacramento, Calif.-based Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, said a PTSD diagnosis does not automatically lead to violent acts.

“The defense has the right to have any issues in litigation brought up and considered by the jury,” said Scheidegger, a leading supporter of the death penalty. “But saying someone has PTSD is an enormously broad statement.” He said jurors and judges should be required to find a specific connection between a veteran’s mental incapacity and the crime committed. “It’s a lot stronger mitigation case for the defense if there is a causal connection,” he said. “But in most cases, it has little mitigating value” in helping a defendant. He added that PTSD and other military servicerelated issues often are not brought up at trial because defense lawyers “don’t think it will work for the jury.” The report comes at a time of increased scrutiny over how lethal drugs are obtained and administered for executions, and as polls show the American public is becoming increasingly

opposed to the death penalty. The center’s report highlighted the case of Louis Jones Jr., a decorated soldier from the Persian Gulf War and Grenada, who was put to death in 2003 after President George W. Bush refused to commute his sentence on allegations he suffered from PTSD after parachuting under enemy fire. Though he had no prior criminal record, his murder of Army Pvt. Tracie McBride was particularly gruesome. He kidnapped her in Texas, raped her and then beat her to death. His defense lawyers argued that he was deeply afflicted with PTSD, and his wife testified that in the days before the attack, he assaulted her too, acting “very crazed,” “panicked” and “spinning out of control.” Jones’ jury found that he committed the murder under severe mental or emotional disturbance, but sentenced him to death regardless.

research widely, said Aaron McCollough, head of the Scholarly Communications and Publishing Unit. “The potential that this policy points to is greater demonstration of relevance,” he said. “Not just to the scholarly community, but to the wider national and international communities.” Some publishers may have concerns that increased access to the research articles may negatively affect their business because interested members of the public who would’ve had to purchase a subscription to a journal can now view the articles for free. There is no evidence that the policy could actually have a stimulating effect for publishers, Wilkin said.

been stalled for 16 months. The organization is urging I nter i m cha ncel lor Barbara Wilson a nd Interim Provost Edward Feser to address the pay negotiations. “I want the Chancellor and provost to decide that they’re going to continue to reward employees for their experience and loyalty to the University,” Beck said. “The University wants these folks to accept a 2-year pay freeze and force them to stay in these poverty wages with no opportunity to increase their wages as they gain experience to do that.” Beck said negotiations

Additionally, while some members of the faculty may feel a loss of control over the distribution of their articles, they can apply for a waiver to this policy in those instances, said McCollough. “In our view, it is especially important that faculty understand their intellectual property rights and how this policy is being implemented in a manner that will preserve those rights,” said the Senate Committee on General University Policy, according to the Senate Executive Committee’s recommendation to the Senate. The enforcement of this policy will vary by article and publisher, and the process will require faculty support in order to be successful, said McCollough. “It really lies with the faculty,” McCollough said.

“This is a shared effort and it really will take faculty leadership.” The University needs to create a system to archive these articles, otherwise a policy will exist that has not been fully implemented, Tracy said. “Open access is really only made possible by the kind of technology we have now,” Tracy said. Open access policies that are implemented in other universities are beneficial to the University by allowing faculty and students to read and learn from articles that otherwise would have been unavailable, he said. Due to public and government funding, there is a sense of responsibility for public universities to make their research open to the public, Wilkin said.

concern more than just wages of the workers in Child Development. “Sometimes negotiations take a long time, and they’re not just pay, they’re about the working conditions, the benefits, a whole host of things,” he said. The first rally is meant to address Wilson and Feser. The second is aimed at spreading awareness about the issue to students and families. Participants in the rally will be handing out balloons to families picking up children outside of the Child Development Laboratory and talking to parents about the negotiations. Parents will also be urged to contact the chancellor to help them

in their efforts. Along with help from the parents, they hope this will grab the attention of the students of the University. Beck sa id A F SC M E will have negotiations next week and hope the chancellor and provost will recognize employees and reward the pursuit of higher degrees. “They are not just babysitters,” said Beck. “They are the heart and soul of the childhood development labs.” Robin Kaler, campus spokeswoman, could not be immediately reached.

President Barack Obama speaks to the International Association of Chiefs of Police at the 122nd Annual IACP Conference and Exposition in Chicago on Oct. 27. It is the largest gathering of law enforcement leaders in the world, with more than 14,000 public safety professionals and 700 exhibiting companies.

Barack Obama is the first sitting president to sit for a portrait by an LGBT magazine, according to the editors of Out magazine, which describes itself as “the world’s leading gay fashion and lifestyle brand,” and is featuring the nation’s 44th chief executive as Ally of the Year. The cover of the 2015 Out100 issue features a black-and-white close-up of the president looking straight into the camera with a Mona Lisa almostsmile. He was photographed by Ryan Pfluger. Out editors said their selection of Obama for the cover represents “a statement on how much his administration has done to advance a singularly vol at i le i s sue t h at tarnished the reputations of both President Clinton and President Bush.” In an interview with Out reporter Aaron Hicklin,

Obama reflected on the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, saying that the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges had not come as a surprise to him, considering the “remarkable attitude shift — in hearts and minds — across America.” Hicklin wrote, “When he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, there were two states where same-sex marriage was legal. Today it is a right nationwide. Many share credit for what has transpired, but there’s no question that without the active engagement of the 44th president of the United States, who has made securing the rights of LGBT Americans a fundamenta l par t of his legacy, we’d still be working to fulfill that dream.” —When Obama entered office in 2009, he reiterated h is belief that the institution of marriage was

reserved for partnerships of one man and one woman, but the following year, he signed a bill dropping the legal ban on openly gay people serving in the military. —In 2 011, Oba ma a n nou nc ed t h at h is administration no longer would defend in court a law signed by President Bill Clinton that defined marriage as between one man and one woman. —In this 2013 inaugural address, Obama made history by becoming the first president to endorse gay rights in such a high profile speech. “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law,” the president declared. —In September, Obama nominated Eric Fanning to be secretary of the Army — who, if confirmed by the Senate, would be the first openly gay head of a military branch.

our nation, whether it be in combat or not. Veterans come in all ages, genders or orientations, races, religions and cities. Either way, all veterans who dedicated their time to protect us need more credit within society today. As John F. Kennedy once said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” It’s as simple as saying thanks and carrying ourselves with the same dignity that our veterans do. There’s no cookie cutter image of a veteran. As of September 2014, there were approximately 721,575

veterans in the state of Illinois, the 10th most of any state, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. And many veterans may find it difficult adjusting back to life after their time in the armed services. Rather, many struggle with post traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, mental health issues and poverty — just to name a few effects that can come from serving. Each one of our veterans deserve praise and thanks. Whether it be your grandparents, parents or a student in your class, this Veteran’s Day is about the individuals that protected, not the other way around.

Think twice before you decide to skip that class Opinions columnist

itting in Statistics 100 last Friday, I took a look around me and couldn’t help but realize how the class has dwindled in numbers since the beginning of the semester. Only about 65 of us, in a class that’s typically 200, barely followed along with our teacher as she desperately tried to get stats assignments to relate to our lives as college students. In that moment, I realized something big: My peers are skipping class. When I wanted to skip class in high school, I had to come up with an elaborate reason as to why I just could not get out of bed. My mom would usually believe me, and I would stay home eating ice cream and watching “Gossip Girl.” The consequences were clearer, though, when you skipped in high school because you needed a “mental health” day. You would be loaded with homework the next day, your teachers would send you angry emails about “consequently only getting sick on Mondays” (maybe that was just me), or you would face penalties from missing an afterschool club or sport. In college, however, it is more difficult to see the repercussions of our actions

ar is much more than the combat highlighted in pop culture. We can’t speak much to what it is. None of us on The Daily Illini Editorial Board have served in the armed forces. Yet, serving in any branch of the armed forces is one of the largest commitments any human being can dedicate his or her life to. The values behind an individual’s service are just a small portion of why we want to say thanks to all veterans. There’s an unspoken issue in society where, for many, the only thought when hearing “veterans” may be an image of a 1940s man from World War II. But that’s not the case. We obviously owe our appreciation toward those who sacrificed and fought in World War II, especially considering by 2036, it’s projected that there won’t be any World War II veterans left. We owe the same respect and adoration to every older man who has fought in the wars of the 20th Century. But there are also so many men and women of all ages who committed themselves to representing

because we do not have to put on the show of a lifetime in the morning to prove our sickness and get out of class, especially when many professors don’t take attendance. All we have to do is turn off our ringing alarms and roll over to the other side of the bed. “If I go to class, I will sleep there anyway because I’m hungover and it’s a waste of my time,” said Kevin Johnson, senior in Business. “I’d mainly skip gen. ed. classes that I don’t care about. I take those classes ‘cause they’re easy in the first place.” Freshmen are so new to the college experience that they seem to get caught up in the complete freedom that college life gives them. Erhan Kudeki, professor and associate head for Undergraduate Affairs said, “Some fraction of (students) see their new social setting more interesting and exciting than their classes and forget that they came here for education.” Students may not realize how much tuition money they waste by skipping class. According to EducationOnline.net, the current average cost for a year of tuition at a four-year public college is $6,585 a year. For an average student who takes 15 credit hours a week, this comes to $14 per hour of class. This money does add up — just count how many classes you skipped this week. I can’t imagine you intended

to spend your money, or your parents’ money, sleeping in your dorm during class. In some cases, missing class means not only missing valuable material, but also participation points. Lots of professors will dock points for simply missing three or more classes. The regularity of missing a class on the account of a hangover or other similar reason is a waste on your GPA, especially when you’re missing required, 100-level general education classes. Excelling in these easier classes could kickstart your GPA at the University. College is about developing a work ethic that will serve you for the rest of your life.

“feelin it.” You will get fired; If you create a system early on that works for you, the next seven semesters of your life (at least) will be that much easier. You have the opportunity to set habits that will stick with you for the rest of your life, even beyond schooling, and the decision is yours on the habits you develop. Whether you party or not, make sure you’re getting to your classes. Thinking strategically; you want to begin college with an awesome GPA to leave room for harder classes down the road. It is easy to do this in your first semester; you just have to get out of bed and go to class.

had a good friend in high school who gave a speech discussing the capabilities of the human brain. She talked about how “just like every walking, living person in this world, I have a brain. In this brain, I have over 100 thousand of miles of neurotransmitters, connections that help to control feelings, reactions, memory and words.” Your brain is what’s allowing you to see the words that are printed on this paper or projected on this screen and process it to make sense in your mind. As modern young adults we are exposed to a lot. According to the “The Phenomenal Experience” by Jeff Bollow, we can process 20 quadrillion bits of information a second. It’s nearly humanly impossible to grasp the concept of quadrillion, yet our minds are working 20 times faster than that in a second. The human brain truly is a marvel. So why is it that our minds are so fabulous and complex, but all that comes out for some is ... “Duuuuude” Everywhere I look, society is dumbing down human language as much as possible, abbreviating everything over text and creating slang words to represent ideas that might take a sentence or two to otherwise communicate. In all honesty, there’s no conceivable limit to the amount of words we could learn. So it makes no sense for us to limit ourselves. It’s foolish to make ourselves sound even more stupid than we probably — honestly — already are, especially when it’s almost more difficult to constantly keep up with our rapidly evolving “age of Internet” language. I mean, I still don’t fully understand what on earth “yeet” means. But the worst part of this change in dialect isn’t the new additions spread through Vine and Twitter. The biggest word crime we commit is how severely we limit the few real words we actually know. Humans are creatures of habit; we’re taught these words and they stick. We mimic friends, parents and media and become boring records on repeat, only using the first few words we learn, when there are probably enough synonyms for “good” to avoid repeating the same one for an entire week (“Hey, that’s amazing!” “Now that’s amazing!” “Wasn’t that amazing?”) A boring record on an amazing loop. The problem isn’t hard to fix. In fact, I’m sure most of you know already where I’m going with this. It’s pretty common knowledge that reading, among plenty of other health benefits, helps to sharpen memory and widen vocabulary. Reading can be more than just an assignment. So yes, open up to the idea of taking time to expand your mind and maybe pick up an actual book and not just for school either. Carry yourself with the knowledge that you refuse to be labeled just as an “amazing” person. Become fascinating, prodigious, riveting or even engrossing. People can be so much more than just “amazing.” Establish your own individuality and become interesting with your words. It’s not as if you can’t use words like “amazing” or “awesome,” just be aware of the time and place to use them; situations where you truly stood in amazement or awe, which I’m willing to bet cannot be used to accurately describe your favorite drink from Espresso Royale. The point of having an expansive vocabulary is not to use fancy, complicated words to impress or confuse other people, it’s being able to choose words with greater precision and communicate more effectively. Researcher Johnson O’Connor, known for his studies about the impact of vocabulary on people’s lives, has drawn many impressive conclusions. Through complex and isolated variables in testing, he found a person’s vocabulary level is the best single predictor of occupational success. And I’m sure that a boost to your vocab is almost guaranteed to give you a boost of self-confidence, and that helps you to become more self and socially aware. Words are essential, but they can also be self-helping, which is really the most important thing. I’m part of a Public Speaking 101 class, and it’s my sincerest hope that, come the speeches that will be presented roughly a week from this publication date, I won’t have to sit through seemingly endless eightminute bouts of the same hundred words spewed at me in different orders. We all became students on this campus for our mind in one way or another and students should utilize it to create a much more intelligent, respected and truly amazing community.

Diwali lights up UI campus

Personalized communication key to healthy relationship By Mara Shapiro Staff writer

By Shahzmeen Hussain Staff writer

This time of the year in India, narrow streets buzz with excitement as candles are lit in and around courtyards of houses, and crowds of women eagerly shop for the perfect presents for friends and family at clothing and jewelry stores. As each night arrives, fascinated children bring sparklers to life and mothers stay in to prepare Indian sweets. This signifies the welcoming of Diwali — the Indian Festival of Lights. As the five-day celebration begins Wednesday, the University will not lack Diwali celebrations; a strong Indian presence is on this side of the world. One of the most anticipated events by the Indian Graduate Students’ Association (IGSA) is their annual Diwali on the Quad, which is scheduled for 6 p.m on Nov. 13. Attendees light up the Main Quad pathways with tea light candles, and Foellinger Auditorium serves as the perfect backdrop. For Nitesh Shashikanth, graduate student in Biochemistry and active member of IGSA, “It symbolizes the conquering of evil by good or darkness by light.” The tea light candles are a replacement for the traditionally used clay diyas (earthen lamps), several of which are placed at various corners of an Indian household. Another tradition includes rangoli, a creative expression of art that takes place the first day of the festival. Designs are created on courtyard or living room floors as a symbol of welcoming guests. “(Rangoli) is the best moment of the whole weekend,” said Megha Mathur, junior in AHS and LAS and also the president of Delta Kappa Delta – the South Asian service sorority on campus. “My mom made the big design in the middle, and it was always the

To incorporate this, Diwali-themed meals will be served at all University dining halls on Nov. 11. As a tradition in her family, Mathur’s mother makes besan ladoos – ballshaped sweets made of flour, minced dough, sugar and gram flour – for Diwali every year. “My mom starts making traditional Diwali snacks days before the five-day festival actually starts,” said Shravak Shah, junior in LAS as well as Indian Student Association’s (ISA) cultural awareness co-chair. For a typical Hindu family, the actual day of Diwali begins with morning rituals. These include performing pooja, or prayers, making Indian snacks or sweets, decorating the house with rangoli and lights, or diyas, and finally dressing up in traditional clothing and gold jewelry. The rest of the day is spent visiting or welcoming family and friends, wishing each other a “Happy Diwali!” On a college campus, however, the goal is to share this culture and these traditions with those who don’t celebrate Diwali.

this Saturday with dinner at 5 p.m. followed by the cultural show at 7 p.m. “Celebrating Diwali away from home without family just isn’t the same,” Shah said. “I always look forward to these traditions on campus because they’re a great way for everyone to get involved on campus, whether they celebrate Diwali or not.” The Hindu Temple and Cultural Society of Central Illinois is organizing a Diwali Pooja followed by fireworks Saturday evening as well. “After festivities calm down near midnight, you can see a dense fog of smoke settle down from the pollution, and this is where I’d like to say that the new generation of India has stepped up,” Shashikanth said. “Many children and youth now do not burst crackers but instead work for charity, help clean the surroundings, which is the need of the hour in India.” For Shah, some of his favorite memories include celebrating the Indian Festival of Lights with his family. “One of my fondest memories of Diwali is helping my mom put up Christmas lights up in our windows a full month early for Diwali. A lot of passerbys probably just thought we were super excited for Christmas,” Shah said.

For Matt Miller, senior in LAS, technology has become an important part of the way he communicates with his girlfriend of seven months. Each day, he speaks with his girlfriend in person, through phone calls, text messages and pictures on Snapchat. Miller said this communication has helped his relationship grow. “It’s getting to know people,” Miller said. “Communication is the foundation of a lot of things. It helps to understand where people are coming from.” Communication is an important part of every romantic relationship, according to Kami Kosenko, University alumna and professor of communications at North Carolina University. If communication is not emphasized in a relationship, she said serious conflicts can arise. “Communication is a determinant of satisfaction in that relationship,” Kosenko wrote via email. “Couples who are satisfied with the communication tend to be satisfied with the relationship. Miscommunication or poor communication in relationships can be a source of conflict and dissatisfaction and can even lead to physical abuse or sexual assault and harassment.” However, an issue many couples face is knowing how to balance how often they communicate with one another. “It’s different for each couple,” Miller said. “For some people, it’s healthy talking all the time, knowing what the other person is doing all day. It’s how you can be a part of their life.” Kosenko explained that sometimes couples over share, which can cause problems. “I do think couples can be too open with each other,” she wrote. “There are things that we should keep to ourselves. For example, you wouldn’t tell your partner every time that you see someone who you are attracted to walking down the street.” Jake Navarez, junior in LAS, has been in a relationship with his girlfriend for ple don’t take that seriously, yeah it hurts sometimes, but I think it just needs to be understood. When people don’t understand what something is, they will blindly throw some classification on something just so they know what it is, and they can easily shove it aside. If they don’t want a challenge, they’ll dismiss it, so I’m proud of that. I’m proud of it, and I think that the suc-

six months. He said it was normal for the two to communicate every day. When they don’t have the chance to see each other in person for the day, they make sure to call each other at night to catch up. Navarez said couples should be honest with one another about their feelings to avoid confusion. “It’s really good to be transparent,” Navarez said. “You can’t have a feeling on one side and expect the other person to know how you feel. Just sit down and talk to each other.” However, no matter how long a couple has been together, it can be easy to develop communication issues. Kosenko believes couples should figure out their weaknesses and try to move past them. “Couples should also consider their communication strengths and play those up in the relationship,” she wrote. “For example, if you are better at communicating online or via phone than face-toface, then that might be a form of communication that you should rely on in your relationship.” Even if communication is difficult, Miller said fight-

ing can actually be healthy for a relationship. “It’s a really valuable way to get to know somebody, what makes them tick,” he said. “It leads to intimacy in resolving stuff and forces you to communicate and be more clear.” Gender can also affect communication. Sexual scripts, according to Kosenko, are mental roadmaps for how we should act in sexual situations. “These scripts tell us what to expect out of dates, out of relationships, and out of sexual interactions,” Kosenko explained. “The traditional sexual script (in heterosexual relationships) tends to paint the male as the initiator (of the date, relationship and sex) and the female as the resistor.” But there are ways these issues can be solved. “Resolving these issues will require that the couple assess what they have trouble talking about, how their communication patterns have changed over time and what their expectations are for communication in the relationship,” Kosenko wrote.

PL: I think every record has been pretty different. I think (this record) has been a bigger stepping-stone than previous albums. I think the two major things musically

would be the drums especially, but also the harmonies; that’s been a pretty big addition from previous records. I think some of the grooves, some of the tempos we’re experimenting with are definitely different. Hopefully I’ve achieved a closer sense of authenticity on this record, more so than the others.

The magic of KAM’S Rumors about the Illinis’ oldest, smelliest bar dispelled BY LILLIAN BARKLEY ASSISTANT COPY CHIEF

Anyone who has walked past KAM’S knows the smell. Even though University students line up for Country Night and Blue Guys every week, and various rumors of poor sanitation are common, no one is entirely sure where the smell originated. “You do have everyone contributing to the smell. People ice out drinks, people spill drinks, people break bottles and beer goes everywhere. You can only mop up so much, especially on a tile floor,” said Kamil Bajan, senior in LAS and manager at KAM’S. In the end, the smell really comes down to one thing. “It’s just time. This place hasn’t changed,” Bajan said. “KAM’S has been KAM’S for decades.” KAM’S advertises as an Illini tradition, and though its website says it’s been in business for 30 years, alumni accounts show it has been on Daniel Street for much longer. “We have people come in here from the ’70s and they say, ‘Oh, nothing’s changed,’” Bajan said. “The funniest thing is when people on this campus say it, and it’s their fifth time here in two weeks.” He said that in the two years he’s been working, the smell hasn’t gotten better or worse, and if it did, the campus would hear about it. “Word of mouth obviously spreads like wildfi re,” he said. Rapid communication is the reason for many of the rumors surrounding the

smell. “People say, ‘KAM’S doesn’t mop their floors,’” Bajan said. “If we didn’t mop our floors, you wouldn’t be able to walk.” KAM’S has a thorough cleaning regimen, despite popular opinion. After the bar closes, the doorman cleans all the cups and surfaces, the bartenders clean the taps behind the bar, and someone comes in to mop at 4 or 5 a.m. A n ot h er pr o p o s e d source of the smell is the bathrooms. “The toilets never work,” said Haris Khan, junior in Business. “The roll of toilet paper’s always in there; there’s always like two beer bottles in there.” Bajan said that even though people shatter bottles into the toilets, they are always cleaned by the end of the night, and the smell defi nitely isn’t coming from the bathroom more than anywhere else. “If you go in the basement, it’s like a whole other level,” Khan said. He described the smell as something rotting, emanating waves of smell “the way dry ice releases fog.” Bajan said the smell was like a combination of sugary, carbonated beverages, stale beer and vomit. “A lot of people think people are puking in here every day. That’s not the case. I can only recall one time when I had to clean actual puke from the dance floor,” Bajan said. Even though people puke in the bathrooms, it’s cleaned up quickly, just like any other bar. Another KAM’S staple

said. “It’s more of a townie bar, so despite the smell of it, everyone still loves it.” Stanner described the smell as “a mix of stale alcohol, puke, pee and regrets.” She also has a class in the

psychology building three times a week. “I walk on the other side to purposefully avoid KAM’S,” she said. “You still get an essence of it.” Bajan said the distance KAM’S can be smelled “depends on how windy it is.” Stanner works as a brand ambassador at KAM’S and said the smell gets better after being in the bar for a while. “Once you start drinking, you don’t really notice it,” she said. “I think that’s also why people get so drunk there.” Though the smell is never described as pleasant, it doesn’t stop people from crowding in. “KAM’S is the oldest bar on campus. When people think of Illini drinking they think of KAM’S fi rst,

and then they always add, “‘Oh, the smell.’” Khan said. “It’s almost a selling point like: KAM’S smells so bad, come and drink your worries away.” The smell, no matter how bad, adds character, Stanner said. “Not everybody desires the experience to go to a college bar,” Bajan said. “You move on from this, and you end up paying $10 a Bud Light downtown.” He said that after getting used to it, the smell is endearing. “That’s what the magic of KAM’S is. It’s been this way, and it’s not changing, and it hasn’t changed, and it doesn’t seem like it will be changing,” he said. “Everyone knows, KAM’S smells like KAM’S.”

Pokey LaFarge: Challenges genre labels, tours new album BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER

PORTRAIT OF POKEY LAFARGE PHOTO COURTESY OF AMANDA DISSINGER

Touring his most recent album, “Something In the Water,” Pokey LaFarge will be playing at The Highdive on Tuesday with Margo and the Pricetags. Originally from Bloomington-Normal, LaFarge spoke to The Daily Illini about being a misunderstood musician at times, and how growing up in central Illinois shaped him as an artist. Daily Illini: Your sound is so unique, especially compared to other artists who have come out of this area. Did growing up in central Illinois have any influence on your sound? Pokey LaFarge: Yeah, I think so. I think a lot of who we are comes from obviously our parents and where we grow up, and a lot of that stuff gets buried in the subconscious. How do we necessarily put words to all the things that we’ve seen and heard and felt and experienced in our life? All of which go a long way into who we are, especially with how I sing or the songs I write. Everything you are as a person comes out in the way that you play and the way you sing. I had great guid-

ance from my parents in terms of sound, but especially in ways of being motivated and inspired by my family. I did feel very much so that I had something inside me that I needed to express from a very young age, and it was sort of bottled up and tumultuous for a few years in high school. And also in response to lack of selfconfidence and depression, no doubt stemming from any average adolescence, and also some rough family things going on at the time. Musically, I really had to search it out on my own. My mom’s step-dad got me my first guitar and took me to some bluegrass festivals. No doubt that was a huge catalyst, but I’m not sure he would’ve done that had I not already expressed some interest in music. But my fi rst love was writing. That was my early escape, but not necessarily just an escape. I like to think that I was born to do that, and continue to do that till the day I die. DI: You’ve said that don’t want to be associated with a certain time period, then how do you want your music to be associated? PL: People get too bogged down with the image, people get

bogged down too much with the style that is supposedly being portrayed, and they don’t listen to the song itself and how it makes them feel. Because the singer’s voice and the way an instrumentalist plays, that’s far and none, that’s the fi nal solution, that is the music. It’s not the genre, it’s not the tempo, it’s not the key, it’s how it makes you feel. Because how it makes you feel, that is the human being. That is the work of the person. That is the experience and the life that they’ve lived that comes out in the subtleties of the music. And I think that the subtleties are lost on the listener, especially the American listener, who has no sense of irony and takes everything too literally. If there is no feeling in the music, if you don’t feel anything from it, fair enough. But they basically have written their fi nal synopsis of what the artist is and what they will always be. They don’t give him any opportunity for evolution to say, ‘This person, he just is,’ you know? But as a songwriter, as an artist, you put yourself out there and people will judge and

Another Illini athletics job for Kevin KEVIN MCCARTHY Illini Columnist

Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, former Athletic Director Mike Thomas had about a snowball’s chance in hell at surviving the report about the allegations surrounding Illini athletics. Whoever follows Thomas as AD will certainly start with their back against the wall. Except the wall will be on fire, the room will be fi lled with venomous snakes and fans dressed in Illini garb will be continuously launching tomatoes in the general direction of their face. The Illinois AD job may be one of the least desirable in the Big Ten. The two most important sports to an AD are the major revenue generators: football and men’s basketball. Neither program is currently sitting pretty — the football team is in need of more repair than the men’s basketball team. Not to mention, with the University’s athletic programs in a negative national spotlight, it begs the question: What will this do to recruiting down the line? Throw in the fact that a great deal of your fan base is angry with you, and this job looks even less appealing. Or maybe not. Maybe, it’s just the opposite. Maybe this job is exactly the one that an up-andcomer from a mid-major conference would want. This campus is fi lled with programs that compete for national titles on a regular basis: men’s golf, volleyball, men’s gymnastics and wrestling, to name a few. It’s also an opportunity for a fresh start with a fan

Students in Block I show their school spirit during the game against Western Illinois at Memorial Stadium, on Sept. 13. base that is eager to return to greatness once again. If you can turn the football and men’s basketball programs around, you’ll be paraded through Champaign and showered in champagne. Regardless, whoever takes this job must be an experienced leader and effective communicator in order to navigate the Illini ship through these tumultuous times. I already know what you’re thinking, Illini nation — “Why don’t you just take the job, Kevin?” Initially, I wanted to pro-

ceed with caution since I’m going to be accepting the head football coaching position soon. I thought that it may be too much on my plate considering I’m only 19 years old. I’ve since realized how cowardly I was to think that and am now prepared to take up both positions. Not that anyone needs more reasons to hire me, but I wanted to lay them out clearly. Here are the top 10 reasons why I should be the University’s next Athletic Director. 10. Unlike the previous athletic administration, I

promise to clearly communicate with the head football coach. Since that’ll also be me, this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m with myself all the time. 9. I can relate to the student body. I am a student, and I also have a body — so this shouldn’t be a problem. 8. Dee Brown and I are pals. If you don’t believe me, read my column from last week. Brown works closely with the AD in his new position. It’s in the best interest of the University to bring in someone who has already built

up a credible relationship with the prince of Champaign. Also, Dee told me to “holler” at him if I needed anything. I will do just that — he can be my first reference. 7. I can save the University money. Tim Beckman and Mike Thomas collected just shy of $2.5 million combined in 2014. The University can kill two birds with one stone by promoting me to both positions. I’ll offer the University an ol’ buy-one, get-one-free — pay for my salary as football coach, and I’ll take the AD position for free. You

Illini football’s dynamic duo on the ground J

osh Ferguson is always in Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s ear. Whether it’s on the field or the sideline, the senior is constantly telling the freshman what he can do to improve, and gives him cues about the opponent’s defense. It makes sense that the two are always talking. They are the twin cogs of Illinois’ rushing offense and showed the impact they could have together in Saturday’s 48-14 win over Purdue. Illinois had 382 rushing yards, with 302 coming from the duo. It was the fi rst time since 2011 that Illinois had two players rush for 100-plus yards in one game — the last time

was Donovonn Young and Troy Pollard teaming up against Bill Cubit’s Western Michigan team. It was also the fi rst time the Illini ran for over 300 yards as a team since 2010. Ferguson fi nished with 133 yards on 12 carries. Vaughn fi nished with 180 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns. In the third quarter, Vaughn broke free for a 78-yard touchdown. His thought process when running straight down the field for 78 yards: Just score. Vaughn’s 203 total yards earned him the Big Ten Freshman of the Week award. His career day was made all the sweeter after a quiet performance against Penn State when he ran for 38 yards on 15 carries.

Illinois coaches credited the return of Ferguson to Vaughn’s improved performance — it was Ferguson’s fi rst bit of action since going down with a shoulder injury in Week 5 against Nebraska. During his time off, the senior back worked to strengthen his legs and his cardio level. Even after running 133 yards against the Boilermakers, Ferguson said he was surprisingly not as tired as expected after his return. Ferguson was impressed by Vaughn’s play when he fi lled in as the starting back. “In high school, you can get away with more instinct and the guys just aren’t as fast,” Ferguson said. “You’ve got to learn to play being in the right

place at the right time, making the right moves – all the little things like that. I think he’s gotten better the past few weeks and it was good to see. There’s no better teacher than an actual game.” The pair’s relationship reminds Ferguson of himself and Donovonn Young as freshmen. The two had a similar partnership throughout their time and shared advice with each other. Coaches and media have compared the Young-Ferguson backfield with this year’s duo — there’s competition for the starting spot, but Vaughn said the outcome is beneficial. “It’s a good competition though because it does nothing but help the team,” Vaughn said. “It’s a cool lit-

tle competition.” Vaughn is happy to have Ferguson back because it takes the pressure off of him, he said. And Ferguson agrees that playing back-up has certain draws. “He was just telling me how he likes being backup,” Ferguson said. “And I told him that makes complete sense because there was a day where I thoroughly enjoyed not starting. It’s because the defense forgets about you — they’re not thinking about the backup running back. There’s some things you can take advantage of, and I think he’s fi nally coming into that role and enjoying it.”

During Sunday’s postgame presser, Jalen Coleman-Lands donned an orange Illinois vest over a white longsleeve shirt, a look reminiscent of the Marty McFly character from Back to the Future. It was only fitting. In a 6-for-10, 20-point performance in just 23 minutes of playing time against IllinoisSpringfield, Coleman-Lands displayed the confidence and swagger of a young Michael J. Fox. After the 104-69 exhibition win, the freshman guard — flanked by head coach John Groce and center Mike Thorne — fielded questions with the same self-assurance. “Personally, I feel like every shot that I shoot is going in,” Coleman-Lands said. Before the Indianapolis native had a chance to finish his thought, Groce chimed in: “So do me and Mike.” Translation: ColemanLands has the green light, even as a freshman coming off a major injury. Groce said the La Lumiere product played “as good or better” than what he expected. Prior to Sunday, ColemanLands had only practiced twice with the team. He sat out three and a half months due to a stress fracture in his lower left leg, which meant having to miss European practices and games and the entire fall training camp. “A little bit of (conditioning issues), I’m not even gonna lie,” he said. “I’m still getting my feet underneath me.” Groce mentioned failing to block out and running into screens as areas for JCL to clean up. “He can see those things in drills, but they’re harder to execute at real-time speed,” Groce said. “He’ll be the first to tell you he’s still got a long way to go.” Coleman-Lands won’t be the only newcomer to provide instant offense for the Illini. Thorne’s inside presence will play a vital role in Illinois’ ability to get open outside shots. The 6-foot-11, 270-pounder possesses the low-post skills to warrant multiple defenders.

Illini volleyball seeks redemption at Ohio State By Lucas Wright Staff writer

The Illinois volleyball team goes on the road to Columbus, Ohio, to take on Ohio State Wednesday. However, the Illini are bringing some extra commendations with them. Aside from riding a fourgame winning streak into the Ohio State matchup, which is the team’s secondlongest of the season, senior Jocelynn Birks and sophomore Brandi Donnelly add-

ed an honor a piece to their résumés. Donnelly is coming off a season-high 26 digs in Illinois’ win against Northwestern to bring her season total to over 400 — she has tallied 50 digs over her last two games. She received Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors for her play. For Birks, the work has been spread out of the course of her entire college career. As a redshirt, she tallied 510 kills in her fresh-

man year, 500 as a sophomore and 527 as a junior, leading up to her recordbreaking year. Early in the Northwestern match-up on Nov. 7, she broke the program all-time kills record, set by Laura DeBruler in 2010. However, these achievements are now in the rearview mirror for the Illini and ahead of them are the No. 11 Buckeyes. Although the Illini have won four straight, the real-

ity behind the record is they have yet to face a top25 team during the streak. The Michigan Wolverines are the highest ranked team on the list, coming in at No. 36 in the nation. The Illini are 8-6 this year in Big Ten play, and are 0-5 against Big Ten teams ranked ahead of them in the national poll. Ohio State will be the team’s first top-15 opponent since its home matchup with Nebraska on Oct. 17. But while the team has

been putting up wins lately, head coach Kevin Hambly was not quick to say his squad is prime position to take down Ohio State. “We have gotten better. Defensively we’ve figured some things out that we were struggling with,” Hambly said. “But, we haven’t played a top-15 team in a while to know how we actually match-up with those type of teams.” The atmosphere around this team has been positive

throughout the last few games, and freshman Jordyn Poulter believes Illinois is in the right frame of mind going into Columbus. “We’ve all had to play different roles, and we’ve had to bring lots of energy every single game,” Poulter said. “I think has contributed to how we’ve performed under pressure and how we’ve been able to manage those wins.”

Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook runs for a first down against Indiana during the first half on Oct. 24 at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan.

Spartans’ defeat should warn playoff contenders Dan Escalona College football columnist

ichigan State’s run of luck — and now its chance of playoff — was cruelly extinguished Saturday in Nebraska. No longer the beneficiary of the good luck that had befallen them against Michigan, the Spartans were on the raw end of a controversial call in their stunning loss to the Cornhuskers. Michigan State’s inability to close a winnable game should ultimately serve as a warning to the other playoff contenders that no opponent — and no lead — can be taken lightly until the final four is set. A usually stout defense epically failed the Spartans in Lincoln, as the team now

desperately needs a large force wind of good luck to have any chance at the College Football Playoff. The Spartans gave up nearly 500 yards of offense to the Cornhuskers — the most they have given up all season. Above all, the defense failed to protect the lead of an offense that was in high-gear most of the day. Saturday’s game was one of Michigan State’s most fluid offensive performances of the season as the offense gained 491 yards of total offense. Quarterback Connor Cook had a showcase game, throwing for 335 yards and four touchdowns with only one interception. Running back Gerald Holmes also contributed to the outpouring, going for 117 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown — his strongest game of the year.

The offense was arguably at its most potent through nine games until the final two minutes when the Michigan State defense shot itself in the foot. Leading 38-26 after 4:16 mark in the fourth quarter, the most inopportune of letdowns occurred. The Spartans allowed Nebraska to cut the lead to five with 1:47 left. The Cornhuskers then got the ball back and stormed down the field to take the lead with 17 seconds left. Spartans fans can of course focus the brunt of their ire on the officials following their decision on the go-ahead score. Wide receiver Brandon Riley caught Tommy Armstrong’s pass after briefly running out of bounds, which would normally be a penalty. Instead, the officials ruled that Riley was forced out

of bounds — upholding the touchdown catch. In retrospect, as the Big Ten has now admitted, the call was correct. Whether they like it or not, Michigan State fans must deal with the fact that their defense may have just ruined a run at the national championship. Such is life in the treacherous maze that is the road to the CFP — a lesson those from East Lansing learned the hard way. Saturday’s events seemed more suited for a time warp in an alternate universe where Michigan State’s offense had seized a victory before its defense got in the way. Outside the fact that the Spartans’ defense came up short on the final two drives, thereby likely eliminating them from playoff contention, this loss has

bigger implications on the current favorites for the playoff. Michigan State’s untimely defeat should serve as a warning sign of looming danger for the nation’s top four squads. The current leaders for the playoff — Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, Baylor and Oklahoma State — should be wary of upcoming opponents, be they ranked or unranked. These five teams, Ohio State, Clemson and Alabama particularly, still have difficult games against conference opponents remaining — even unranked ones like Illinois, Auburn and Syracuse. And of course, one can’t forget the remaining conference championship games. Baylor and Oklahoma State still have to play each other, and whoever loses

is likely out of the playoff discussion. The unpredictable nature of the Big 12 will still have a lot to say in deciding the fourth participant. If Michigan State’s loss taught these top contenders anything, it should be that so much can yet occur before college football’s Central Committee officially decides which teams stay in the hunt for the sport’s biggest prize and which teams are sent to the proverbial garbage — or, in other words, a nonetheless prestigious bowl game. So much is still up in the air, and if the leading contenders want to make things less so, they must avoid pulling a Michigan State.

Fantasy Doctor: Waiver-wire wonders and blunders joey figueroa Fantasy doctor

ell, here’s where my fantasy season falls apart. Your beloved fantasy doctor finally lost in two of his three leagues this past week, and with some more key injuries, the loss column may be my new best friend. Not a week has gone by throughout this NFL season without a few major injuries or some depth chart shuffling that has opened up new opportunities for players dwelling deep in the depths of the waiver wire. After suffering a torn ACL on Sunday, Dion Lewis joins the long line of running backs I’ve lost to season-ending injuries this year. Whether you’ve also been bitten by the injury bug or just need some bye week fill-ins, there are a handful of solid waiver-wire pickups to plug into your roster for Week 10. Here are some of the top options along with a few tempting ones that should actually be avoided.

Pick ‘em up

Karlos Williams: The rookie back came back from injury in Week Nine and lit up the Dolphins for 110 yards and two scores on nine carries — in a backup role. When healthy, Williams has been a legitimate starting option and has scored in every game he’s played. He’ll face a tough Jets front seven Thursday night, but is a strong FLEX option, especially if the oft-injured LeSean McCoy can’t suit up. Kamar Aiken: Again, injuries open the door for some new faces to shine, and Aiken has that opportunity and then some. With Steve Smith done for the year with a torn Achilles, Aiken is the incumbent No. 1 receiver in Baltimore. He’s been solid, averaging about 80 yards per game during Smith’s short absence earlier in the season. He needs to be owned in all leagues. Blake Bortles and Derek Carr: This pair of standout second-year play callers have quietly performed well thus far and have established themselves as viable options. Bortles has scored at least 22 fantasy points in three of his last four games and faces a pedestrian Baltimore defense Sun-

day. Leading an exciting, young offense in Oakland, Carr has exceeded 20 fantasy points in all but three starts this season and has thrown four picks. He has built a strong case to be even more than just a weekly fill-in.

Leave ‘em be James White and Brandon Bolden: With Lewis out, the Patriots have about 12 to 15 touches up for grabs, and I have absolutely zero idea who will step into that role. Some experts are leaning toward second-year back James White to be the leading candidate, but they say that every time the Pats have an opening in the backfield, and White has 28 carries over the past two seasons. Bolden caught a TD on Sunday, which is what Lewis usually does, so I’m leaning toward him, but neither are worth starting. If only I could know who’s starting on Bill Belichick’s fantasy team. Wes Welker: For some strange reason, the Rams signed the 34-year-old, oftenconcussed Welker to a one-year deal. This does not mean he’ll be at all fantasy relevant, so hold off on adding the ancient

FROM 1B

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM

I’ll certainly be up for the task of keeping up the University’s sports facilities. I’m also the only member of my apartment who frequently does the dishes and cleans the floors. That last part is more of a cry for help than anything else. 2. While it may be too late to ask help from alumnus George Halas, I do have connections to former Illini and Chicago Bears’ linebacker Dick Butkus — we both lived in Scott Hall as freshmen. Butkus and I can leisurely ride through the Illinois plains in search of five-star recruits. What recruit would say no to

KEVIN gressions, DIA could definitely use some fun right now. Surely, the bun can get the job done. 4. I decided to drop out of the Speaker of the House race to pursue this job. That, my friends, is dedication. 3. With newly renovated facilities like State Farm Center, the University athletic administration’s only job will be to keep its facilities clean, up and running. Ask either my mother or my roommates and they’ll tell you — I know how to keep my room clean.

FROM 1B

Dick Butkus? 1. I can relate to today’s athletes. As a bench warmer for the basketball team during my sophomore year of high school, I learned what it takes to be an elite athlete. Between filling up bottles of water for the good players, I learned skills that will last a lifetime. I look forward to leading this athletic department to prominence. Under my leadership, we will go places that Illini fans never thought possible.

each attempted 10), sinking five of them. Coleman-Lands is the better shooter, but Jordan provides versatility. The latter is better at slashing and getting creative on the drive. As for Lewis, his threepoint percentage increased from 20 percent to 32 percent from year one to year two at LaSalle. He gets good lift on his jumper, and his shot was wet against UIS – though, keep in mind, an exhibition versus a Division II school isn’t all that telling. Even Jaylon Tate, who enters his junior year an abysmal 2-for-35 (.057 percent) from deep, drained his sole three-point attempt Sunday. If he can knock down the occasional three-ball this

BASKETBALL “When I get doubled, I find open guys on the wings,” Thorne said. “We draw up things for me to get the ball out of the post, so I won’t turn it over and (we can) make the right play.” Illinois will feature multiple perimeter options. Freshman Aaron Jordan and graduate transfer Khalid Lewis shot a respective 2-for-5 and 3-for-3 from beyond the arc against UIS on Sunday. Like JCL, Jordan doesn’t see many shots he doesn’t like. The Plainfield native put up the third-most shots Sunday with eight attempts (Coleman-Lands and Thorne

season, the floor will open up even more for sharpshooters Coleman-Lands and Jordan. Now that the lone exhibition is out of the way, the Illini are gearing up for the real deal. Groce said the team will focus on ball movement, out-of-bounds plays and transition defense leading up to the regular season opener. With junior Kendrick Nunn and sophomore Leron Black out with injuries, Malcolm Hill is expected to carry much of the load offensively Friday at North Florida. But don’t be surprised if Marty McFly pitches in.

ILLINI ATHLETES SOUND OFF

COMPILED BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO

Editor’s note: Every Wednesday, The Daily Illini’s sports department asks Illinois student-athletes questions pertaining to life off the field.

What’s your favorite professional sports team?

If you could relive any moment in your life, what would it be? Why?

What musical instrument would you master if you had the chance?

What’s your favorite candy?

My favorite sports team is the Green Bay Packers.

I would probably relive the day that my sister got her first hole-in-one.

If I had the chance, I would love to master the piano.

I’m definitely not a huge fan of candy, but if I had to pick one I would probably say Kit-Kat bars.

Definitely Chicago Bulls

Probably going to Siesta Key in Florida with my family on vacation. It’s so much fun. We go there every summer.

I did take piano lessons for seven years when I was young. My mom made me, but I ended up loving it. I think I’m still pretty good at piano.

Probably SweeTarts. I like all the sweets.

New England Patriots

It would be high school. I put myself in a bad hole in my football career and messed up a lot, which is mainly why I went the JUCO route … I’d focus on my grades.

The drums

Snickers and Reese’s

My favorite sports team is the Bears.

Two summers ago I went skydiving with my dad and I would love to relive that moment. It was such an adrenaline rush.

If I had the chance I would love to be able to master playing the piano.

My favorite candy is M&M’s.
