Board plans to increase base tuition to $12,036 for class of 2018

STATE LAWS: WHAT’S NEW BY ELEANOR BLACK STAFF WRITER

With a new year comes new laws, and though some important changes — such as the legalization of same-sex marriage — will not be going into effect until later this year, others will be seen more immediately. Here are five of the more than 200 laws going into effect this month.

The maximum speed limit on tollways and interstate highways outside of urban areas this year has been raised from 65 mph to 70 mph. Illinois’ eight urban counties — Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair and Will — have the option to opt out. Though the law went into effect on Jan. 1, the speed limit in a particular area does not change until the speed limit road sign is changed.

If Illinois motorists want to talk while driving, they must now use now use hands-free technology to do so, though exceptions will be made in emergency cases. Violation of the law will result in fines starting at $75 for first offenses, $100 for second offenses, $125 for third and $150 for fourth and subsequent offenses.

Tuition increase matches last year’s

Speed limit change

BY MARYCATE MOST STAFF WRITER

With students on their final week of winter break, University faculty and administration kicked off the new year with an Urbana-Champaign Senate Executive Committee meeting, as well as two Board of Trustees committee meetings.

Board of Trustees

Medical marijuana

Concealed carry

Cigarette butts are now considered litter

Illinois became the 20th state to legalize medical marijuana, though the legalization comes with strict regulations and a waiting period attached. Within the four-year pilot program, a person cannot be prescribed more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana over a period of two weeks, and the prescribing doctor must have a treatment history with the patient. Additionally, the medical marijuana can only be purchased through one of the 60 state-regulated dispensing centers.

Illinois has also become the final state to allow concealed firearms to be carried in public. Concealed carry license applications went live on Jan. 5, and more than 11,000 applications were accepted. Carriers must be at least 21 years old and have a valid Firearm Owner’s Identification card, 16 hours of concealed carry firearms training and other requirements, to be eligible for a license.

Strict littering penalties will be in place for those who toss their cigarette butts. Another recent law fines litter violations a minimum of $50. A first time violation will now be considered a Class B misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $1,500, while a second violation will become a Class A misdemeanor. A third offense could lead to jail time ranging from one to three years and a $25,000 fine. Violators may also have to clean up litter on a public highway for a month-long period.

Members of the board’s Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee, at their meeting Jan. 13, discussed the University’s plan to increase tuition by 1.7 percent, student fees by 2.3 percent and housing fees by 2 percent. This proposal is set to appear before the board at its Jan. 23 meeting in Chicago. This proposal matches last year’s tuition increase of 1.7 percent, the University’s smallest tuition increase since 1994. “The percentage is the same as it was a year ago — it is a continuation of what has become a downward trend,� University spokesman Tom Hardy said. “This is attributable to a number of factors, including a Board of Trustees policy from 2011 that says tuition increases should be inflation neutral.� A $202 increase will put base tuition rates at $12,036 per year for incoming instate students at the Urbana-Champaign campus, according to a press release. The 2.3 percent increase in fees and 2 percent increase in housing would mean a total increase of $269 per year. The board’s Governance, Personnel and Ethics Committee met Jan. 9 to review potential board items. Among these items were the appointment of associates and fellows to the Center for Advanced Study and a review of a possible extension of athletic director Mike Thomas’ contract. These items were reviewed by the committee and are also set to be approved at the upcoming board meeting, Hardy said.

Campus-wide smoking ban in effect UI officials trying to create culture that supports new policy BY MIRANDA HOLLOWAY ASSISTANT DAYTIME EDITOR

A campus-wide smoking ban took effect on Jan. 1 and prohibits smoking on all University property. These new measures ban the use of tobacco, non-tobacco plants, such as marijuana, and electronic cigarettes, according the University’s official policy. The ban was put into motion in November 2011 after a student referendum showed almost 70 percent of those who voted supported the smoking ban. After about a year of planning and research, Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced in October 2012 that the campus would become smoke-free by fall that following year; however, it was postponed to Jan. 1, 2014, to avoid adding stress during finals week. A group of volunteers who are trained in talking to people about the ban will take part in enforcing it. “In other words, if someone is smoking on campus, I’m assuming that they might not know or they haven’t gotten into the habit of not smoking on campus yet,� said Renee Romano, vice chancellor of Student Affairs.

In the case that someone has been reminded multiple times and will not comply with the ban, it will be seen as a violation of University policy, she said. “All students are expected to adhere to University policy, and all faculty staff are expected to adhere to University policies, so ... it would be just a gradual acceleration of consequences to try to get someone to stop,� Romano said. The University spoke with other smoke-free campuses around the country to learn about their policies. “What we’ve learned from other universities is that it’s really kind of a gradual educational and cultural change that occurs,� Romano said. Romano said she hopes the ban will make the campus healthier and cleaner and may encourage some smokers to quit. “If people chose to quit or not to pick up smoking as a habit, that would be really the best,� Romano said. Cessation programs are being offered through the McKinley Health Center, faculty insurance plan and other public resources, said Michelle Guerra, director of the Wellness Center. “One of the things we’d really like to do ... is to create a culture that really supports the smoke-free environment,� Guerra said. Guerra said although the majority of the feedback she has received is

How the smoking ban came to be

administrators, faculty and staff. April 2012: A survey was taken of 10 percent of student, faculty and staff to gather information about attitudes about campus tobacco use. Summer 2012: A committee submitted a report to the chancellor after reviewing information and policy options. October 2012: Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced that the campus will become a smoke-free environment. January 2014: Smoking ban is implemented after preparation.

The official policy surrounding the smoking ban covers all activities on campus property. The policy defines campus property as “any property owned, leased, occupied, operated or otherwise controlled by the University of Illinois� and includes private vehicles parked on campus property. November 2011: On a referendum, approximately 70 percent of students who voted on a question about making the campus smokefree were in favor of the idea. January 2012: Chancellor Phyllis Wise created the Smoke Free Ad Hoc committee made up of students,

positive, some have voiced frustration about the change. “I think there are going to be some people who need to change their habits and figure out a game plan for getting through the day without smoking for whom this is going to be frustrating,� Guerra said. Some, like Stephanie Fessler, senior in Social Work, question if the policy is going to be effective. “I think that it’s going to do stigmatize it more, but it won’t actually stop an actual smoker from smoking,� she said.

Fessler, who smokes, does not think that the outright banning will be effective in keeping regular smokers from smoking, nor does she believe it will encourage them to quit. “The difference of somebody who smokes in a bar and smokes on campus is that someone who smokes at a bar might not be an actual smoker, but generally if you’re smoking on campus it’s because you are carrying a pack with you because you are a smoker and this is what you choose to do,� Fessler said.

Illini Chess Club makes consecutive Final Four appearance BY ZILA RENFRO STAFF WRITER

In a blur of pawns, knights and bishops, Eric Rosen and Michael Auger could be seen on Fox News during winter break playing a speed game of chess while simultaneously being interviewed about their recent success. In December, the Illini Chess Club went to the 2013 Pan American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship and, for the second consecutive year, earned a spot in the President’s Cup, the collegiate chess final four.

The Illini team includes Rosen, Auger, Xin Leo Luo and Akshay Indusekar will be the only squad in the Final Four without any grandmasters or any coaches. The teams in the final four, two of which belong to Webster University and one hailing from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, will compete in Manhattan in April. Auger, president of the Illini Chess Club, laughed as he explained the shock of winning a spot in the top four a second time. “Before we went into (the Pan Am

Championship), we joked about how we were going to do it again, but I don’t think any of us really believed it,� Auger said. The championship, held in Lubbock, Texas, included 42 participating teams representing 23 schools. Many of the teams have grandmasters, the highest title given to a player by the World Chess Organization- FIDE. Most teams also have coaches that train players for tournaments. Despite not having these amenities, the Illini players managed to beat some of the top teams.

Akshay Indusekar, junior in LAS, began playing chess when he was a sophomore in high school. This is his first year on the Illini A-Team. “It was really interesting,� Indusekar said. “We played many difficult opponents. We upset three teams that were supposed to beat us.� Auger explained that these were upsets of teams that out rated the Illini team by 200 points on every single board.

SMOKING BAN Fessler understands not wanting secondhand smoke on places like the Quad in the middle of the day when there are many people around, but she said as long as smokers are considerate of those around them, it shouldn’t be a problem. “I’m not going to be around (non-smokers) while I’m doing it because that’s extremely rude and inconsiderate,� Fessler said. “It’s not fair to them, but the vast majority of smokers I know on campus feel that way and are considerate about it.�

BOARD ty contracts, to oppose a boycott of Israeli institutions and to discuss making changes to the Urbana-Champaign Senate’s voting system. The General University Policy Committee proposed that non-tenured faculty, which may include lecturers and instructors who are not officially professors, be signed to more longterm contracts, SEC chair Roy Campbell said. “What that does is mimic the requirements that offer tenured faculty,� Campbell said. “This will give non-tenured faculty more structure, but they do not have a guaranteed work contract.� Under the proposed plan, nontenured faculty will operate similarly to their tenured counterparts, using the same ranking system that tenured faculty use. The General University Policy Committee will present the resolution to the full senate at its Feb. 10 meeting. At the meeting, members showed support for Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s opposition to the American Studies Association’s boycott of Israeli higher-education institutions, Campbell said.

CHESS “It’s pretty unbelievable because (for us) to qualify a second year in a row is unheard of,� said Eric Rosen, sophomore in LAS. Rosen began competing at a young age. By the time he was nine, he had a state championship under his belt. Rosen and Auger have a long history of playing chess together. “Eric and I actually met at my fi rst chess tournament,� Auger said. Years later, when Rosen was deciding where to attend college, Auger helped persuade him to turn down a chess scholarship at University of Texas at Dallas to play for the Illini Chess Club. Interestingly enough, UT Dallas was one of the highranking schools that the Illini team managed to surpass in the tournament. The Illini team put in long hours of practice to get to their level of play up. The team has weekly practices where they play both long games, which can last anywhere from five to six hours, and “blitz� games, which can last from five to 10 minutes,

In response to frustrations, Guerra said the ultimate goal is keeping the campus free of secondhand smoke. “The bottom line as to why the policy was passed is that what we are trying to do is to literally create smoke free air on the campus,� Guerra said. “So we are asking people out of consideration of the well being of everybody on the campus to succumb to the inconvenience of walking a few feet, or a few yards, or a block or two to go to a place not on campus if they feel they really need to smoke.�

Miranda can be reached at mwhollo2@dailyillini.com. “At Illinois, we value academic freedom as one of our core principles and cherish the critical importance of the ability of faculty to pursue learning, discovery and engagement without regard to political considerations,� Wise said in a statement Dec. 27. SEC members emphasized that a boycott of Israeli institutions would damage academic freedom. “The University wants to maintain academic freedom, so we are saying that we don’t want to boycott anything else — we want academics to work with academics,� Campbell said. The SEC also agreed that an electronic election system should be established for the UrbanaChampaign Senate as soon as possible. Campbell said he will be working on making this a possibility in the next few weeks. During the meeting, an AdHoc Compensation Review Committee, which the senate hopes to make a permanent committee in the near future, also discussed working with the Committee on Academic and Staff Benefits to ensure equity in compensation and benefits for all staff, senate coordinator Jenny Roether said.

MaryCate can be reached at most2@dailyillini.com. Indusekar said. Tournaments such as the Pan Am Championship only include long games, which have been described as mentally taxing. “When you’re playing quick chess, you’re relying almost solely on intuition ... it’s almost like a video game,� Auger said. “When you’re in a tournament, I’ve actually heard it described as mental torture. It’s a very different feeling ... a little bit more stressful.� Currently, the team is trying to raise $9,500 to prepare for the competition in April. Unlike the other Final Four teams, the Illini team has no scholarships. It is the love of the game that keeps them going, Auger said. “There’s something about the way chess ... pushes your brain as much as possible,� Auger said. “It really puts you in this zone where you feel so powerful in the way you’re thinking.� The money the team fundraises could also help them afford a coach. Despite the funds, the players speak optimistically. “It’s pretty incredible that we got to where we are,� Rosen said. “It’s really exciting going forward.�

State climatologist: Records not broken in severe weather BY CLAIRE HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

The arctic winds that blew through campus, and much of the country, earlier this month gained much attention from both mainstream media and social media sites, but the storm was not as strange as its coverage would suggest. According to Jim Angel, state climatologist, the storm “was severe but not record breaking.� He said this type of weather is normal for the area, but it seems rare because the past few winters have been mild with few days of below-zero temperatures. Eric Snodgrass, director of undergraduate studies for the department of atmospheric sciences, said it was no surprise that the temperature reached so low because it happens every two to three years. He said the amount of snowfall during this storm, about 6.5 inches, did not come close to breaking the record. “The outstanding feature was the cold air and the cold windy conditions that came in behind (the snowfall),� he said. “The air that we experienced here, that

air mass formed literally over the North Pole.� The cold temperatures make it difficult to clear roads because salting the roads to remove snow is ineffective if the temperature descends below 15 degrees, Snodgrass said. Thus, road travel was dangerous until it warmed enough to melt the roads, he said. Chancellor Phyllis Wise sent a campus-wide email on Jan. 5 explaining that the campus would be closed Jan. 6 and that all people who do not work essential jobs should stay home. Snodgrass said it was a very smart and timely decision to shut down the campus on Sunday, ensuring employees would not try to drive in the dangerous conditions on Monday morning, Snodgrass said. Angel said the cold temperatures made it very dangerous to be outside especially on Monday, when the wind chill felt as cold as 40 degrees below zero. “You could start to get cold in a matter of minutes, especially if you are underdressed, you can very easily get in a situation where you get hypothermia and

your body temperature drops. You can get into serious trouble pretty quickly,� Angel said. Exposed skin at such cold temperatures can freeze in five minutes, possibly leading to frostbite and hypothermia, Snodgrass said.

The City of Champaign opened two warming centers on Mattis Avenue and Country Fair Drive to help people stay warm during this time.

Businesses respond to concealed carry Mixure of guns and alcohol a key concern BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

More than 4,500 Illinoisans applied for concealed carry permits on Jan. 5, the first day of public access, as Illinois joined the nation in legalizing concealed carry, according to the Illinois State Police. Similarly, Illinois businesses now have the chance to respond to the new legislation. Restaurants have the option to bar guns from their establishments, a decision especially important to ones that serve alcohol.

“You’re picking and choosing customers because if you choose to allow it, you’re going to offend the people that are anti-gun. And if you choose to not allow it, you’re going to offend the people that do have a permit,� said Dean Hazen, owner of The Gun Experts, a gun store in Urbana. “So pick your poison, you can’t make everybody happy.� Guns are prohibited from businesses in which 50 percent of revenue comes from the sale of alcohol, according to the legislation. But at Guido’s in Champaign, general manager Roy Moore said its alcohol revenue varies from year to year. “That’s what makes it difficult,

justifying each year whether or not we’re labeled as a bar or restaurant,� Moore said. “Either way, we’re not going to allow weapons in here just because of the fact that come later on in the night ... everybody’s switched moods from restaurant to bar.� Moore added that “guns and alcohol don’t mix,� a point that University Police Department Deputy Chief Skip Frost agrees with. “The fi rst thing that alcohol affects is your decision making,� Frost said. “I completely understand what would turn out to be a pushing or shoving match in a bar ... if you allow concealed weapons in there, that pushing

and shoving match may become a gun fight.� Businesses that choose to not allow guns are required to post a sign provided by the state, Hazen said. The sign, which shows a handgun surrounded by a red circle and a diagonal slash, can be downloaded from the Illinois State Police website. “If the first thing that alcohol affects is your decision making, let’s face it,� Frost said. “Someone that has had too much to drink or is under the influence is not someone that we want carrying a concealed weapon.�

Wise appointed to First Busey board BY STANTON POLANSKI STAFF WRITER

Chancellor Phyllis Wise was appointed to First Busey Corporation’s board of directors Jan. 1. After the staff of 10 directors agreed to appoint Wise, the Champaign-based holding company added its first female to its board. “She is a very brilliant person,� First Busey board member David Downey said. “She is in charge of a major enterprise — she has board experience from other boards, she adds diversity to our board. All those things are very positive.� Wise, who has been the University’s chancellor since 2011, has also been on Nike’s board of directors since 2009. Additionally, the University has a policy

limiting the number of outside roles someone in the administration can hold. But Downey said the First Busey position will be a sliver of Wise’s time, as the board only meets every other month. “It’s not a major time effort. No travel is involved,� Downey said. �I don’t think (the time commitment) a problem at all.� When Wise received a call from Busey, she saw the spot on the board of directors as a chance to further her goals for the University. “Whether it is at the state, national or global level, every improvement and each step forward in our society begins at the local level,� Wise said in a statement. “Making positive impacts

in the way we all live, work and learn requires a relentless commitment to building stronger communities.� Wise will be given a $20,000 base retainer for each year she serves on First Busey’s board, as well as access to restricted stocks. According to Nike’s report on the annual shareholders meeting, Wise earned $290,456 in total compensation for 2013 from Nike. Downey, as well as First Busey Chairman Gregory Lykins and Director George Shapland, has ties to the University of Illinois Foundation, the University’s fundraising organization. Wise hopes her connection with the University will give First Busey a vivid insight into its customers’ lives. “She is the chief executive of

a large, complex organization in the same community as Busey’s headquarters. She represents a great part of the community that Busey serves,� campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said in an email. Kaler said Wise believes if you have a “healthy� community, then the University prospers as well. Wise is ready to see what she can do. “I am excited to join the First Busey Corporation board of directors, and I look forward to seeing how, together, we can open new doors of opportunity in every place Busey calls home,� Wise said.

Professor’s unusual music appears in new iOS puzzle game, Blek BY JACQUI OGRODNIK STAFF WRITER

Players of the iPad game Blek may catch a few sounds they’re not used to hearing courtesy of Erin Gee, assistant professor of composition theory at the University. While playing Blek, each swish and fl ick of the fi nger across the iPad’s screen creates a moving line that repeats the movement until it collects the colored circles, travels too long without contact with a circle or hits a black hole. Whether the level is successfully completed or the line falls victim to a black hole, the player will hear a tiny excerpt from “Yamaguchi Mouthpiece I� composed and performed by Gee. However, her music featured in Blek is unlike most music typically found in video games. Rather than singing a series of words or even syllables, Gee uses her mouth to create a series of pops, clicks, hums and

tunes — a style she described as “non-semantic, meaning they’re sounds that don’t have any semantic meaning, and they are just sung together in an organization that doesn’t have to do with linguistics or a language.� Martin Brody, professor of music at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, worked with Gee in the spring of 2008 when they put on a concert together. Brody said he was impressed immediately both by her composing talent and her originality. “The music she’s been working on is a series of pieces that involve vocalization using what a singer does with her mouth, and in ways that creates a kind of anatomy of vocal sounds based on ... individual speech sounds broken down, not combined into syllables or words,� Brody said. He noted that her compositions are very much unlike any other music, and that is one of the things he fi nds exciting about her work.

“As I got to know her, I came to see that she was both a very hard working composer and an artist of great integrity, and it was really great to have that opportunity to work with her,� Brody said. Stephen Taylor, associate professor of composition theory and conductor for the Illinois Modern Ensemble, had conducted a number of Gee’s compositions. One word Taylor used to describe Gee’s music was “identifi able.� “When you hear it, you can tell it’s by her immediately,� he said. “It’s strange to listen to, but it’s also instantly attractive.� Taylor said Gee’s pieces are old-fashioned in that they often have repeating sections, similar to pieces written by Johann Sebastian Bach or Ludwig van Beethoven. “It’s interesting because to the listener the sounds coming at you are so different all the time — that you don’t even real-

ize it got repeated,� he said. Blek, which has recently been made available for the iPhone and iPod Touch in addition to its iPad version, was created by brothers Davor and Denis Mikan. In an email, Denis said the brothers’ main goal was to work together on a project, and it turned out to be a game by chance. Davor, who had heard Gee’s music from her concerts in Vienna, contacted Gee through a mutual friend to see if the brothers could use her music in their new game. “(Davor) says that once while prototyping Blek he was listening to Erin’s music on CD, and he thought that the sounds would be perfect for the game,� Denis said. Gee said it’s amazing to be a part of this particular game because she fi nds Blek interesting for its analytical and creative problem solving. “It’s fun to be a part of that and also to have people hear my

part of Gee’s “Yamaguchi Mouthpiece� series that she began in 2005 during her residency in Japan.

OPINIONS THE DAILY ILLINI

EDITORIAL

Looking back and looking forward NEW LAWS New Year’s Day marked the start date of many new state laws conceived during the past year. Of major importance, Illinois became the 12th state to silence handheld phone use while driving (HB 1247), the 20th to toke on prescription pot (HB 1), the 37th to accelerate the maximum speed on some roads up to 70 mph (SB 2356) and the final state to shoot down its concealed carry ban (HB 183). Of particular note to students, your social media passwords are now safe from your school’s prying eyes if without cause

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO

(HB 64) and veterans have priority registration at state schools (SB 2245). Some interesting other laws also went into effect: HB 0188 douses tanning plans for anyone under 18. SB 1639 throws a bone (and refund) to people sold pets with undisclosed serious illnesses. Violent flash mob organizers now face a stiffer penalty for soliciting social media to organize (SB 1005). Seventeen-year-olds got the vote if they will be 18 by election day (HB 0226). And cigarette butts are now litter, because apparently they weren’t before (HB 3243).

Return of Alma

The Alma Mater statue left her pedestal a little over 17 months ago, and, if the projections made in October still stand, she’ll be back in four months. Because it’s still winter break and your mathematical skills are probably depleted (hi, Netflix), here’s a little help: that means she should be back in time for the big hullabaloo that is spring commencement. We haven’t heard any further details about her restoration since October, so we are still hopeful she’ll return. What’s a graduation without a picture with the famous lady and her two men? Well, just ask last year’s graduates. Actually, don’t. It’s still a bitter topic for some.

New businesses throughout Campustown

While you were away, Green Street kept going up. Panda Express at the corner of Wright and Green streets looks to be coming along, construction of the Bankier Apartments building at Sixth Street is as tall as ever, and several other projects continue to chug along. You’ll notice that the Illini Union Bookstore’s first floor is quite a bit different because there will be a new Starbucks (gotta have one on every corner, right?) As a signal of a healthy local economy, it’s nice to see new businesses and buildings on Green Street. Welcome back to campus, where like Chicago, the only seasons are winter and construction. Except, here, we get both.

WHAT YOU MISSED IN C-U Proposed tuition increase

Incoming freshmen for the 2014-15 academic year should probably start preparing now for how to avoid binging on Grubhub, Netflix and whatever bar will let them in because the University recently proposed a 1.7 percent tuition increase. If the Board of Trustees approves the tuition hike, base tuition for incoming in-state students would climb to $12,036 per year (up $202), while the number hikes to more than $25,000 per year when including housing and fees. Undergraduate room-andboard costs will rise to $10,180 (up 2 percent) and fees excluding health insurance to $2,984 (up 2.3 percent). While it’s understandable that the University finds ways to compensate for reductions in state funding, we hope that rising tuition costs, albeit small, won’t deter prospective students.

Lincoln Hall LEED Platinum status

In late December, Gov. Pat Quinn announced that the newly renovated Lincoln Hall achieved the LEED Platinum status — the highest status for “green

buildings� and the second historic building in the state to receive it. Student Dining and Residential Programs building as well as Nugent and Bousfield halls are already LEED certified. While this is a significant milestone in the University’s strive toward a more environmentallyfriendly campus, we also hope that Lincoln Hall’s LEED Platinum status will influence the University to continue stressing the concept of green buildings to come.

Michael Monson DUI

Michael Monson, chief of staff to Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing, was handed 18 months of court supervision for a DUI last year. Monson was arrested by police last March following a car accident he was involved in. He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, fleeing the scene of an accident and operating an uninsured vehicle. In addition to the court supervision, he is required to pay a $1,250 fine, complete 100 hours of public service, attend a victim impact panel, substance abuse evaluations and refrain from having alcohol or illegal drugs. With Monson having one of the

higher positions in the Urbana government, we hope that his sentence will serve as a reminder that illegal actions — regardless of prestige and status — will have consequences.

Employee personal time

While the polar vortex was making a cameo, the University sent out a campus-wide email on Jan. 5 alerting non-essential employees that they should not report to work. It’s great that the University is taking the safety of its employees into consideration with the hazardous weather. However, those employees told not to report to work were also told they must use their personal time or take an excused, unpaid absence. This is normal University policy that these employees follow when they can’t make it to work because of weather-related reasons. But when Gov. Pat Quinn is declaring a state of emergency, these employees aren’t exactly kicking back and enjoying themselves. This policy seems unfair considering the dissonance between the University’s policy and Quinn’s statewide warnings.

Take a step back, think about benefits and privileges of college education MATT PASQUINI Opinions columnist

T

his year, I made a New Year’s resolution to not take my college education for granted. Very rarely do we settle down in our lives to put things into perspective. Too often, many university students, including myself, take our education for granted. We dread waking up for our 8 a.m. classes and in many cases, we don’t even go. We even sometimes fantasize at the idea of being able to go to college, but opting out of the school part. A bit counterintuitive, don’t you think? But let’s be realistic. We’re at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! (Also the Princeton Review’s No.

3 party school for 2013-14)! With our bustling bar scene and a Greek house on every block, the social scenes here thrive. And let us not forget that these are supposed to be the best four years of our lives. With a majority of students ranging from 18 to 22 years old living in a town for college students ran by college students, one can only imagine the opportunities available that can make us lose focus on what we really came here for. With the start of the spring semester right around the corner, I find myself think-

ing about ways to combat distractions and focus on the No. 1 reason I chose to attend a university — to receive an education. There are a few things I’ve thought about that help put my education into perspective and allow me to visualize what a benefit and privilege it is to have access to such a fine institution of higher learning. One thing I remind myself is that my education is going to have a profound impact on my personal future in regards to my ability to secure a job and earn a decent wage. According to a Labor

My education is going to have a profound impact on my personal future in regards to my ability to secure a job.

Department report released in the spring, the unemployment rate for college graduates in April was 3.9 percent, compared to 7.5 percent for the work force as a whole. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that in 2012, the median weekly wage of a person who has received a bachelor’s degree ($1,066 per week) is about 63.5 percent greater than someone who only has only obtained a high school diploma ($652 per week). A college education in itself suggests a lower chance of unemployment and an even higher possibility of being financially secure. And what you do with that degree can propel you even further than the statistics. I also need to realize that my education is going to have an impact on the larger society I’m part of. Education is the corner-

stone of society, and educated citizens are essential to having a functioning society where people not only learn, develop and challenge social and cultural norms, but also develop the human capital and technical and non-technical skills that contribute to the economic wellness of a nation. But let’s not forget that in many countries, and to an extent in the United States, higher education is reserved for the elite; attending college is a privilege not everyone has. Higher education is highly sought after all over the world, but not everyone gets the chance. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, there are 250 million primary aged children who do not know how to read and write and another 200 mil-

lion aged 15 to 24 who have not even completed a primary education. It’s easy to get caught up in the fast pace of life that exists in Champaign-Urbana. While we complain about having to go to class in the morning, there are others who dream about it. These are unfortunate and inconvenient truths, but it’s ignorant to deny the realities of so many around the world. I urge all university students to take a step back and conceptualize the realities of the benefits and privileges that coincide with receiving a college education. I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions, but this is one worth making.

Redefinition of society’s ‘beautiful’ not the fix we need SEHAR SIDDIQUI Opinions columnist

I’m

getting pretty sick and tired of hearing that everyone is beautiful. As a society, we are constantly redefining beauty and increasing the width of the umbrella of categories beauty encompasses. As admirable as this is, we are still placing value on a very shallow, trivial trait. The more fluid we make the term “beautiful,� the more people that will be considered beautiful. As magazines begin to move away from just showing headlines of “How did she lose all that weight after giving birth?� to “A REAL woman is a beautiful woman� we see a slow shift in the redefinition

of beauty. Which, in theory, is great — broaden the definition of beauty so everyone is beautiful. But at some point we also have to realize that all we’re doing is making the word more compliant, feeding into our society that’s entrenched in the importance of physical appearance. The redefinition of beauty is a copout in itself. Does a majority of society really find all these different types of people to be beautiful? Probably not. But it sure is a great way for us to seem progressive and accepting without being that way. And although I applaud initiatives such as “The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty� to promote curvy — among other characteristics society deems “unbeautiful� — as beautiful, I can’t help but con-

tinue to think about the deep importance we all put on outer appearance that essentially shouldn’t matter. The nation is seething with a self-esteem issue that follows girls into old age. When they’re young they worry if they’re thin or curvy enough, and as they get older they worry if they look youthful enough. No matter where a woman goes in her life, the stress of physical appearance is lurking. There are videos on YouTube of girls as young as 10 years old, some even younger, asking the World Wide Web if they are pretty or not. And in response to these videos people aren’t saying, “Young girls shouldn’t be concerned about looks.� Their response is, “These are prepubescent girls.� From a very young age, we

are feeding the importance of beauty in these little girls’ minds. Television shows on Disney and Nickelodeon star impeccably beautiful teenage girls who end up becoming their role models. Instead of discouraging worry of outer appearance, we are merely telling these girls they can’t possibly be worried about this kind of stuff now — they’re too young. But we are telling them that outer appearance will be relevant later when these young girls hit puberty and grow into the genes they had no control of inheriting.

We are creating an environment where girls are absorbing information that tells them it’s important they grow up to look a certain way — whether it is to diverge from or converge with society’s “beautiful.� The selfesteem of these little girls plummets while they wait to grow up and then continue to suffer when they don’t meet the physical standards of beauty they grew up looking forward to upholding. I am guilty of placing importance on beauty and most likely so is everyone else.

Instead of discouraging worry of outer appearance, we are merely telling these girls they can’t possibly be worried about this kind of stuff now ...

To boost the self-esteem of young girls — and boys — we should move toward an attitude that encourages the importance of a strong character over the importance of beauty. We should focus on helping all members of society feel comfortable about what’s on the inside and not even second guess about what’s on the outside. Decreasing the importance of beauty is a lofty task to take up. The more we redefine beauty and make it more encompassing, the more people can fit in it. And that just exposes how much beauty means to our society. Looks shouldn’t be used to define another person; they shouldn’t even be considered while defining oneself, either.

From Netflix to checklists: Transition back to school BRIDGET HYNES Staff writer

A

fter having last semester’s final exams nicely buffered by the distraction of the holidays, I am now headed back to Champaign-Urbana refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to start anew. Well, sort of. Whether you spent winter break working at your old summer job, catching up with friends and family or watching television while holed up in your basement, you probably need to do some adjusting as classes begin again. Here are some tips to help you get back into the swing of things:

1. Fuel and prepare your body with wholesome food According to assistant director and dietitian of Dining Services Erica Nehrling Meador, protein and healthy fats like avocado, nuts and seeds are sustaining sources of energy. “Having these will help get energy and calories into your body without causing glucose and insulin fluctuations, which can actually make us feel more fatigued,” Meador said. Refined foods like white bread and pastries will result in a “surge and then fall” phenomenon, she said, because the refined items enter our blood sugar faster and insulin levels spike. Although they are a quick fix for energy, Meador recommended more sustaining sources of energy like proteins and healthy fats. She also said to avoid consuming too much caffeine — you should have no more than 250 to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day (an 8 oz. cup of coffee has roughly 100 milligrams).

2. Set the scene and look ahead Take down any lingering holiday decorations you may have up in your room at school and put up a 2014 calendar. Mark important dates that are coming up in the future, especially ones you are excited about.

3. Make a schedule Although it can be tempting, don’t skip class in the first few weeks; it can leave you feeling frazzled and unprepared from the start. Remember to schedule time for doing homework and studying. Getting into a routine of studying from the start will prevent you from becoming overwhelmed when classes start picking up speed.

eturning to University life after a full month of holiday celebrations and vacation time can be a harsh transition. Fortunately, there is a nice cushion of time to relax and reconnect, most commonly referred to as syllabus week. During syllabus week, there are a variety of social events students can attend to kick off the semester in a stress-free manner. “I’m excited to get back to school and see all the friends I made first semester,” said Danielle Pullano, freshman in Media. “I’m also ready to have a daily routine of classes and structure.” The University will host several opportunities for students to reconnect on campus. The Illini Union will host a Winter Week Welcome Kick Off on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Winter Week

“Planning one week at a time really helps me get an overview of what I have to accomplish for the week,” said Priyal Amin, sophomore in LAS. If the transition from vacation to school is too fast, keep some of your routines from vacation — but in moderation. Watch one episode of your favorite series on Netflix a day instead of finishing an entire season in one sitting.

4. Fix your sleeping pattern While you’re still at home, get on a normal sleeping schedule again and try to picture yourself waking up for your classes. John Desai, sophomore in LAS, said this week he has been waking up a little earlier to fix his sleeping schedule. “Waking up at a decent time helps me to gradually ease into school,” Desai said.

5. Do some light reading Read something besides your Facebook feed at least once a day, whether it be a book, a newspaper article or even a friend’s paper to edit.

This can help lessen the blow of eventually having to read heavy material for class. If you have reading assigned already, flip through the pages to familiarize yourself with some of the topics to get a head start.

6. Get inspired

of Welcome Committee, the sponsors for the event, will be providing free hot chocolate, cider and doughnuts. On Wednesday, the Illini Union Quad Shop will host an open house to provide students with free popcorn all day and the chance to win mugs, Nike apparel and Illini hats. Every weekday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., the Illini Union will host a poster sale in I-Room A at the Union. They will be selling a variety of posters for students to purchase throughout the week. The Courtyard Café will be hosting numerous fun events and shows for students. The Three Amigos Comedy Show will be perform there on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. The show is free for all students. On Jan. 24, students can enjoy free food and comedy at the Illini Union. As a part of Illinites, The Second City will perform two shows at the Union, beginning at 9 p.m.

Returning to University life after a full month of holiday celebrations ... can be a harsh transition. Fortunately, there is a nice cushion of time to relax and reconnect.

Create a new playlist of upbeat music or watch motivational videos on YouTube, such as “A Pep Talk from Kid President to You,” to get excited for the semester.

7. Exercise Get into the habit of going to the gym and commit to being fit this semester. An ongoing study by the University’s Neurocognitive Kinesiology Laboratory finds that cardio respiratory exercise in children is linked to an increase in cognitive control. This can mean increased attention and ability to retain information, said Mark Scudder, lab researcher and graduate student in AHS.

RESOLUTION of setting a New Year’s resolution is still popular in Western culture, according to Anthropology Professor Brenda Farnell.

Corporate Power Train Team Engine

“A New Year’s resolution offers the same kind of promise of renewal on a personal or individual level,” Farnell wrote in an email. “Western cultures place a high value on two cultural ideologies or beliefs — the individual person and progress. So, an individual

commitment to persona l progress or improvement in the form of a New Year’s resolution complements our cultural celebrations of the New Calendar Year.”

A New Year to reinvent a new you

Key to successful, achievable New Year’s resolutions is specificity BY DECLAN HARTY STAFF WRITER

The scene is the same every year on Dec. 31: The clock hits midnight, the ball drops, and couples share a midnight kiss. While many people promise next year will be different and set New Year’s resolutions, they ultimately do not accomplish the goals they set. Most Americans tend to follow the status quo of making resolutions for the New Year. According to a study conducted by the University of Scra nton Journal of Clinical Psychology, in 2014, most Americans’ resolutions c ou ld be su m m a r i z e d into four categories: selfimprovement, weight, money a nd relationsh ip -related resolutions. The five most popular 2014 resolutions are lose weight, get organized, spend less and save more, enjoy life to the fullest and

staying fit and healthy, according to the study. According to the same study, which surveyed over 20 0 adults, 8 percent of Americans are successful with their resolutions. Thirtynine percent of people in their 20s who were polled are successful in reaching their goal, compared to 14 percent of people who are 50 years old or older. Mel a n ie Ta n nenbau m , doctora l student in psychology, said that to be more successful with a New Year’s resolution, an individual should choose “SMART goals,� which stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timeframed goals. “ If you set speci fic measurable things within a time frame, then it makes people more likely to actually pursue that,� Tannenbaum said. “So you really want to

strike that balance where something is challenging enough that it motivates you to keep working at it, but achievable so people won’t give up.� Gracie Cannell, junior in LAS, said she set a specific New Year’s resolution: to not buy any clothes for the whole year. “Over New Year’s, one of my friends came into town, and I gave him one of my pairs of pants that had a big hole in them,� Canell said. “He is beginning to get involved with patching pants and he did this awesome patch on the pants, and it kind of reminded me of how recycling can be awesome.� Cannell said she believes her wardrobe is large enough to last for the year, and she plans to learn how to patch clothing. C a n nel l sa id that i n previous years, she never fulfilled her resolutions, such as “developing a new hobby,� because of their lack of specificity. “When you are at school,

especially if you are in college, you are so busy with your day-to-day life. You aren’t really thinking of your resolution,� she said. Tannenbaum said social media can influence how someone looks at the smaller goals necessary to reach the final goal. It also can affect whether the person views the smaller goals as “progress� or “signs of commitment.� How some people communicate their progress toward their resolutions can affect their ac t u a l c om m it ment to achieving it. “People are often inclined to (share) as a form of progress, like they’ve actually done something toward achieving it by telling people about it,� Tannenbaum said. “That can actually make people less likely to do some of the other things that might matter more.� The act of sharing one’s progress toward a New Year’s resolution can also create a false sense of accomplishment and can allow the person to feel entitled to a break despite

a lack of actual progress, Tannenbaum said. Although 2014 has just started, more than a quarter of the public polled has given up on their resolution for the calendar year, the study stated. And on Friday, many more will likely join them, given the day is recognized as National Resolution Ditch Day. The day provides people the opportunity to give up on their resolution for the day, a resolution that many did not actually believe they would fulfill, according to a survey conducted by FranklinCovey in 2008 . The survey stated that more than a third of the 15,000 respondents surveyed were never fully committed to the resolution, and by the end of January, only 23 percent of them had still not broken their resolution. Despite the increasing number of people who are unsuccessful with their resolutions, the practice

Illinois’ Nnanna Egwu is blocked by Purdue’s A.J Hammons during the game against Purdue at State Farm Center on Wednesday. The Illini lost 66-58 extending their losing streak to three games.

Purdue tops Illinois 66-58

Boilers’ Hammons dominates inside, Egwu held scoreless BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Illinois head coach John Groce said it wasn’t difficult to figure out why the Illini lost to Purdue 66-58 Wednesday night. “It’s simple,� Groce said. “We lost the possession battle.� The Illini had 10 fewer shots than the Boilermakers after getting outrebounded 42-28 and losing the turnover battle 12-9. The Illini led 33-29 at the half, but a poor second half allowed the Boilermakers to come up with the win. “(All season long,) we’ve defended, we’ve rebounded, we’ve taken care of the ball,� Groce said. “Those are the three things we’ve been hanging our hat on, and we didn’t do any of them well, especially in the second half.� After outrebounding Purdue 21-19 in the first half, Illinois grabbed just seven boards in the second half to Purdue’s 23. “It’s unacceptable,� Groce said. “They were tougher than us physically, and they threw us around like a bunch of rag dolls.� Purdue head coach Matt Painter said that Illinois has rebounded well all season, and his team was able to win because of its aggressiveness on the boards. “It was the difference in the game,� Painter said. Illinois point guard Tracy Abrams took responsibility for

the team’s lack of aggressiveness. “As a leader, I just kinda put that on my shoulders. I’ve definitely got to do a better job of that,� Abrams said. Illinois center Nnanna Egwu was held scoreless for the first time this season, and he struggled to grab rebounds and defend Purdue center A.J. Hammons, who finished with 17 points and eight rebounds. Egwu was 0-for-7 on the night and has missed 11 straight 3-pointers, but Groce said his big man needs to keep shooting. “I’m more concerned about the lack of physical aggressiveness,� Groce said of Egwu. Illinois’ leading rebounder was a hobbled Rayvonte Rice. Illinois’ leading scorer was a game-time decision and played to form in the first half, finishing with 10 points and four rebounds, but couldn’t get going in the second half, making just one free throw. He finished with 11 points and seven rebounds on 3-for-9 shooting. Illinois led 52-51 with 6:05 remaining, but Purdue hit backto-back 3-pointers to key a gamewinning 15-6 run. One of the few bright spots for the Illini was the play of freshmen Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill, who had one of their best games of the season. Hill finished with seven points and five rebounds, though all of his production came in the first half. Nunn had eight points and shot 2-for-3 from deep. “They had a swagger about them that I liked,� Groce said. “I love the progress that those two guys are making.� Nunn said he’s noticed that

While you were out

Over winter break, the Illini went as far as Rayvonte Rice carried them. Illinois’ top scorer averaged 18.8 points per game over the break, leading Illinois to a 4-3 record, and a 2-3 start to Big Ten play. In the first game of break, Illinois picked up its biggest win of the nonconference season with a 65-64 win over then-No. 23 Mizzou in the annual Braggin’ Rights game, ending a four-game Mizzou winning streak. Point guard Tracy Abrams had 22 points and Rice finished with 14 points to lift the Illini over the Tigers. Illinois followed the win over Missouri with 74-60 victory over UIC at the United Center in Chicago. After falling behind 44-34 at the half, the Illini held the Flames to 16 second half points. Rice led the way with 28 points, and Illinois finished the competition has gotten much tougher in Big Ten play, but he has played because of his defense. Illinois falls to 13-5 and 2-3 in Big Ten play with the loss, heading into its toughest stretch of the season: No. 4 Michigan State, at No. 11 Ohio State, at Indiana, No. 14 Iowa and No. 3 Wisconsin.

nonconference play with a record of 12-2. The Illini opened conference play with an 83-80 overtime win over Indiana on New Year’s Eve, thanks largely to 29 points from Rice and 17 points from Abrams. Illinois jumped out to 2-0 in conference play with a 75-55 victory over Penn State at the 25th anniversary celebration of the Flyin’ Illini, but Rice and the Illini couldn’t continue their success in their toughest test of the season at Wisconsin. The Illini lost 95-70, and Rice finished with 19 points but only shot 7-for-21 against the Badgers. Rice suffered a hamstring injury against Northwestern and played his worst game of the season, finishing with eight points on 2-for-11 shooting. Without Rice’s scoring, Illinois scored a season-low 43 points, losing to the Wildcats 49-43. Abrams said it’s tough to be on a three-game losing streak, and the team just needs to do what it’s done and stay positive to break the streak.

UI win at NU ends slump for Bollant’s squad BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

The new year has not been kind to the Illinois women’s basketball team. The Illini (8-9, 1-3 Big Ten) struggled to get their first win in 2014 and have been unable to duplicate last season’s success of an NIT berth in head coach Matt Bollant’s first season. Despite a solid 6-3 record at State Farm Center, Illinois has struggled on neutral courts and on the road — posting a combined 2-6 mark in such venues. Illinois is 1-3 in conference play after a win Wednesday at Northwestern. Seven of the team’s final 12 games are on the road. The Illini missed two opportunities to break through in the win column earlier in January. In the conference opener against Wisconsin, Illinois blew a five-point lead with 3:22 remaining and dropped the contest in overtime, 76-64. Despite 30 Badgers turnovers, Illinois couldn’t hold the lead late in the game and couldn’t stop Wisconsin in the extra period, as the Badgers were a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. Ivory Crawford led the team with 20 points to go with seven rebounds. “We had a sluggish start (to the overtime period),� head coach Matt Bollant said after the game in a press release. “Offensively, it looked like a lot of the kids didn’t want to take shots and that was disappoint-

ing. You got to have that selfbelief to give me the ball and we lacked a little bit of aggressiveness in overtime that we had for most of the night.� Less than a week later, it was Illinois who was making a frantic comeback at the end of the game, only to fall short against Penn State, 82-76. Trailing by 18 with 3:06 left in the game, the Illini went on a 15-1 run to get within four, but the Lady Lions made free throws in the final minute to secure the victory. Crawford had another big game for Illinois, with 25 points and seven assists. The Illini lost to No. 16 Nebraska by 19 at home, and now face three consecutive conference games on the road. Illinois got its feet under it with a 76-74 win in Evanston, Ill., against Northwestern. Crawford led the way with 19 points and three rebounds. Crawford has been a bright spot in spite of Illinois’ slump. She has scored 19 points or more in the past five contests, upping her season average to 15.2 points per game. With nine losses already, Illinois’ postseason dreams are in jeopardy. The Illini were 19-14 last season — good for a berth in the WNIT — but this season’s Illinois squad has dug itself into a hole early in January. The team’s RPI sits at 171, lowest in the Big Ten by 87 spots, and the Illini haven’t gotten consistent play as a team on the defensive

llinois basketball was on top of the world on Dec. 21. After the Illini snapped a four-game losing streak in the 33rd annual Braggin’ Rights game against No. 23 Missouri, how could they not be? They not only knocked off one of their fiercest rivals, but also garnered their best win of the season. Illinois would win three consecutive games following the narrow victory against the Tigers, none bigger than a 83-80 overtime victory over a feisty Indiana squad on New Year’s Eve. Sitting at 13-2, Illinois even broke into the top 25, debuting at No. 23 in the Associated Press poll. That might be the last time the Illini are ranked all season. With three consecutive pathetic performances, Illinois crashed down to Earth. The meltdown started with an expected beatdown at the hands of No. 4 Wisconsin on Jan. 8 in Madison. The blowout loss was anticipated, but not the halftime score. The Illini trailed 50-25 at halftime. Wisconsin went on a 20-0 run at one point, proving Illinois just isn’t part of the upper-echelon of the Big Ten. Illinois’ next game against a 7-9 Northwestern squad seemed like a solid pickme-up game for the Illini. Instead it turned out to be quite the opposite. Illinois couldn’t even reach its lowly point total from its previous game in the first half against Northwestern on Jan. 12. Illinois scored 15 — yes, 15 points — in the first 20 minutes in Evanston. A 28-point second half wasn’t enough to bail the Illini out, as they ended up losing by an NBA halftime score of 49-43. Even the friendly confines of the State Farm Center weren’t enough to snap Illinois out of its funk. Illinois missed six out of their last seven free throws down the stretch in a 66-58 loss to Purdue on Wednesday. A.J. Hammons toyed with Nnanna Egwu on both ends of the floor, finishing with 17 points while holding Egwu scoreless. Illinois is now 13-5 after a three-game free-fall. Illinois enters the spring semester with far too many questions. What is the

identity of this team? Who, other than Rayvonte Rice, is going to step up? Is making the NCAA tournament this year a realistic goal? Perhaps the biggest question is whether this team fits John Groce’s system. I think not. Groce’s system needs a variety of shooters to go along with aggressive offensive players. Illinois is shooting an abysmal 31.0 percent on 3-pointers this season, ranking 292nd in the nation heading into Wednesday’s game. Illinois attempted just 335 free throws before the matchup against Purdue, ranking 233rd in the country. Those numbers don’t mesh well. The departure of Brandon Paul has hurt this squad more than expected. Paul was an ideal player for Groce’s system. Paul had the ability to knock down the long ball while excelling at drawing fouls. D.J. Richardson, although he never lived up to his potential, was the perfect role player for Groce’s 3-point dependent offense. Rice has been a revelation this season, but even he tends to disappear in and out of games as his aggressiveness fluctuates. Tracy Abrams is by far the most aggressive player on the team, but the pint-sized point guard has struggled at the rim all season long. The rest of the Illini are an inconsistent bunch. Maybe Jon Ekey will step up with a big performance or even Joseph Bertrand from time to time, but each contest is a guessing game of who’s going to show up. Maybe this team just doesn’t have the right personnel for Groce’s offense. Or maybe Groce needs to change his style to better fit his team. Either way, something has to change, or the Illini are going to have more brutal games on the horizon. This wasn’t the right time for Illinois to struggle. Illinois faces four top-14 teams in a five-game stretch. The lone unranked team in that stretch is Indiana, who knocked off No. 3 Wisconsin in Bloomington, Ind., on Tuesday. As ugly as Illinois has ended this break, it’s about to get much uglier quickly.

elcome back, everybody. While most of us students kicked back and relaxed during the holiday break, winter-sport athletes at Illinois played on. While you caught up with your favorite shows on Netflix, odds are an Illini wrestler was avoiding the Christmas dinner table to make weight. While you slept in past noon, the women’s basketball team practiced in the mornings. Our Illini fandom was dragged through peaks and valleys over break, mainly becuse of the inconsistency of our school’s most recognizable program: the men’s basketball team. We had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year after beating Missouri and Indiana, only to have our pride shattered this past Sunday by lowly Northwestern. While you were mainly focused on John Groce’s squad from afar, you might have missed what else was going on in the world of Illinois athletics. Here’s what you may have missed from Illinois sports this past month: Q The women’s basketball team struggled. The Illini

dropped four of their last five games over a stretch that included an 0-3 start to Big Ten play. On the bright side, the State Farm Center crowd of more than 3,300 at last Sunday’s loss to Nebraska set a world record for the most people wearing paper crowns in one place. Let’s hope that doesn’t end up being the team’s most lasting highlight of the year. Q The wrestling team finished fourth out of 47 teams at the Midlands Championships in late December, as Steven Rodrigues and Jesse Delgado led the way with top-three finishes. The 10th-ranked Illini then fell short against No. 8 Ohio State. As usual, the loaded Big Ten will provide multiple highprofile matchups for the Illini during the rest of the regular season. Q Illinois men’s gymnast Chandler Eggleston was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after he captured titles in floor exercise and vault in last Sunday’s win over Illinois-Chicago. The Illini will head back to Chicago this weekend for the Windy City Invitational.

Illini defeat UIC, sweep 6 events

Illini swimming grabs 1st place at Copa Coqui invite BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

The Illinois swimming and diving team continued to progress through competition during break, winning the Copa Coqui Invitational and ending in a tie with Rutgers University. The Illini traveled to Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, to compete in the 16-team invitational on Jan. 5. They spent 10 days in Puerto Rico, using the experience as a training camp, but also an escape from the frigid temperatures of the Midwest. The team won the invitational, scoring 58 points and edging out in-state rival Illinois State and Cleveland State, who fi nished second and third respectively. The Illini won three events, two of which were relays. In the 200 meter medley relay, Alison Meng, Erica Lynn, Lori Lynn, and Courtney Pope claimed the event with a time of 2:04.48. They also took fi rst in the 500 meter freestyle relay. Megan Marchuk, Gabbie Stecker, Courtney Pope, Kristen Zborek, Alison Meng, Rachel Burke, Mary Beth Howard, Anne

Goering, Sabrine Gibson and Cara Chuang won with a time of 4:38.47. Lori Lynn captured the team’s third event victory placing fi rst in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:07.32. The day’s success was well received by head coach Sue Novitsky, who wanted the team to continue to work hard during a hard stretch. “Overall, the team competed very well,” Novitsky said in a press release. “We are training very hard right now and the girls are very tired and sore. We keep talking about choosing your mindset and being able to step up even if you don’t feel great and still swim fast. They competed strong from the start of the meet to the end.” The Illini fi nished in a tie as they hosted Rutgers on Jan. 10, when they also celebrated Senior Day. Having little rest, the team started slow as Rutgers held the lead for a majority of the meet. Heading into the 12th event, the 500 free, the Illini were down 21 points.

The relay team of Alison Meng, Morgan Marchuk, Gabbie Stecker, and Courtney Pope won the event at 3:29.79. The second Illini relay team of Jessica Holz, Cara Chaung, Sabrinne Gibson and Mary Beth Howard secured a tie for the team fi nishing second with a time of 3:22.29, beating the next Rutgers team by five seconds. “A tie is kind of a rare event in swimming,” assistant coach Alec Hayden said in a press release. “They (Rutgers) got out to a good lead right away and our girls weren’t quite ready to go those first couple of events. I think we did a really nice job of battling back, getting the one-two in the final

event to get the tie.” Meng won both the 100 backstroke (56.62) and the 100 fly (56.34), while Stecker took fi rst in the 1000 free (10:16.44) and the 500 free (4:57.70). The Illini won two more events as Pope placed fi rst in the 100 free (52.77) and Lori Lynn, who claimed the 200 fly (2:05.85). The team will continue to compete during a challenging schedule as they get ready to face Iowa State on Friday Jan. 17, at the Iowa Triple Dual meet on Saturday, and host the Illinois Double Dual meet on Monday.

Illini vault over Michigan State in season opener Team successful on balance beam BY ASHLEY WIJANGCO STAFF WRITER

Friday, the Illinois women’s gymnastics team began its season with a 195.325-194.150 victory over Michigan State. With the win, the Illini claimed the Victory Plank trophy for the fourth consecutive time. This also marked the fi rst time Illi-

nois opened the season with a score above 195. The balance beam was the most successful event for the Illini. Senior Elizabeth McNabb took fi rst place with a score of 9.875. Seniors Sarah Fiedler and Amber See, junior Sunny Kato and freshman Emily Lennon each scored a 9.85 to tie for second place. This gave them a team total of 49.275, enough for the third best beam score in school history. In the all-around, Illinois’

competitors were See (second, 39.250), Fiedler (third, 39.025) and sophomore Giana O’Connor (fourth, 38.650). See led her team in the triumph over the Spartans by placing in the top two on every event, excluding the uneven bars. In terms of individual event success, junior Jordan Naleway started the season by bringing home her fi rst collegiate uneven bars title with a new career high of 9.825. Aside from Lennon, fresh-

While the Illinois campus emptied for winter break, the men’s gymnastics team was hard at work competing in its fi rst meet against in-state rival Illinois-Chicago. The Illini, which started the season tied for fi fth nationally, easily defeated UIC 413.100-393.450. This came with five of the team’s gymnasts sitting out because of team rule violations. The Illini swept each of the six events. Standout performances from freshmen Chandler Eggleston, Matthew Foster and Thomas Gibbs led the Illini. Eggleston captured titles in floor exercise and vault, scoring 15.000 and 15.250, respec-

ROUX track team was named Big Ten Co-Track Athlete of the Week on Jan. 13 after winning the 600-meter run at the Illini Open last Saturday. His time of 1:19:80 was the fastest 600m time in the nation this season. Nine members of the women’s track team took home titles in its opening meet of the indoor season. Q While you’re busy being sympathetic toward our athletes for having practice over break, don’t feel too bad for the Illini men’s and women’s tennis teams. Both are set to begin their spring seasons in a tropical location that is far nicer than Champaign in the winter. The men’s team will start their season Boston Red Sox-style, in Fort Myers, Fla. at the annual Illini Open on Jan. 17. Not to be outdone, the women’s team is

tively. He also placed third on high bar, fourth on parallel bars and 10th on still rings. This performance earned him Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors. The Illini had the top five scorers in both pommel horse and still rings. Sophomore Logan Bradley won pommel horse with a score of 14.150 and junior Mike Wilner won still rings with a score of 15.400. The Illini claimed two of the top three spots in high bar, and junior Jordan Valdez placed fi rst with a 14.350. Gibbs was the sole Illini to compete in each event and won the all-around with a score of 82.550 after placing in the top five of five events. The Illini will return to Chicago again Saturday to compete in the Windy City Invitational, hosted by UIC.

Q If you noticed that the area around State Farm Center looks a little different, it’s because construction crews have moved equipment in to prepare for the upcoming $160 million renovation of the 50-year old arena. Noticeable changes to the actual arena won’t take place until after this basketball season. So buckle up for this semester. Last spring we saw Delgado and Ashley Spencer take home NCAA titles. The baseball and basketball teams went on to exciting late-season runs. What does spring 2014 have in store? Stay tuned.

Men’s track and field makes strong appearance, picks up 7 titles in opening meet BY THOMAS DONLEY STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s track and field team got its season underway at the Illini Open on Saturday, Jan. 11, at the UI Armory. Seven Illini earned first place in their respective events, while another 11 placed in the top three in theirs. “We had a really good opening meet,� head coach Mike Turk said

in a press release. “Of course, we had some rough spots, and we have a couple of guys that are a little banged up, but overall we brought some really good performances to the table. I’m pleased with our progress, and it was better than our opening meet last year. It was a good meet and a good start, but we know what we need to do moving forward.�

Defending Big Ten champion Brandon Stryganek won the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.82, while teammate Julian Smith finished second. Junior Josh Jones won the 800-meter run. Senior Zebo Zebe placed third in his first career 400-meter dash. Freshman David Kendziera took two event titles at the Illini Open, finishing the 60-meter hur-

dles with a time of 8.23 and winning the long jump with a mark of 6.55 meters, while teammates Smith and Branden Tanthavong rounded out the top three. Tanthavong won the triple jump with a mark of 14.63 meters. Davis Fraker won the weight throw with a mark of 18.74 meters and finished second in the shot put with a throw of 16.49 meters.

Sophomore Joe McAsey set a personal best in the 600-meter, placing first with a time of 1:19.80. He also contributed to the 4x400 relay team, which finished third, along with Zebe, Jones, and Luke Carroll. “The highlight of the day was Joe McAsey,� Turk said in the press release. “He missed all of last year with an injury and hasn’t

competed in a race in 18 months. It was a personal best for him, which is a great start. Having Joe out on the track is a really good thing to see.� The Illini will next compete at the Illini Classic at the UI Armory on Jan. 17-18.
