Purdue shooting leaves 1 dead BY ROSEMARY REGINA SOBOL CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A Purdue University senior from Wisconsin is dead and another student is in custody on suspicion of murder following a shooting on the university campus in West LaFayette, Ind., according to school officials. The gunman walked into a basement classroom of the Electrical Engineering building around noon while a class was going on, school and law enforcement officials told a news conference. Classes were canceled for the rest of Tuesday and for Wednesday, officials said. The victim was identified as Andrew F. Boldt, 21, a senior from West Bend, Wis., who also was a teaching assistant, Purdue University Police Chief John Cox said in a news conference at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The suspect, who appeared to

have targeted Boldt, was identified as Cody M. Cousins, 23, a student in the college of engineering at Purdue, Cox said. He has been booked into the Tippecanoe County Jail on suspicion of murder, according to jail records. Records show Cousins is from Centerville, Ohio and Warsaw, Ind., Cox said. The attacker did not appear to be randomly targeting students, officials said. “The suspect came into the building, walked to the classroom, shot the individual and walked out,” said school spokesman Greg McClure in an earlier news conference. He then walked outside and surrendered to police. “This is not your typical active shooter. This appears to be an isolated and intentional act,” Cox said in the evening news conference. “We have developed infor-

mation through several witnesses that the victim appeared to have been targeted by the suspect and it was no more, no less than that.” “The suspect was apprehended on the east side of the Electrical Engineering building just outside the building,” McClure said. He said police believe the shooter was targeting the man he shot and “there was no effort to target anyone else.” “Nobody else was wounded or hit by gunfire, it was just the person who was killed,” McClure said. Police said there was no argument or fight before the shooting. Indiana State Police were working with Purdue University Police to process the crime

New bike code starts March 22 BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

For the first time since 1989, the University bike code has been updated to comply with the increase in bicyclists, said University Police Department Deputy Chief Skip Frost. “It was sorely in need of updates,” Frost said, adding that the University has a bicyclefriendly designation, which can be difficult to maintain when the number of bicyclists increases by so many each year. He said there have been a number of issues with bicyclists causing bicycle-bicycle accidents as well as bicycle-pedestrian accidents. Many bicyclists also operate where they shouldn’t and park in prohibited areas, which led police to rewrite the policy so that students are aware that they will be taking a closer look at this public safety issue. “It’s been in the works for some time,” Frost said. “A lot of feedback that comes in ranges from, ‘Hey, this is great, it’s about time’ to, ‘This is ridiculous. Why are you even worried about bicycles on campus? Aren’t you worried about real crime?’” The code will start being enforced March 22, the first day

The Urbana Tree Commission unanimously voted to cut down Urbana’s oldest tree while saving as much of the trunk as possible. Citizens gathered at the meeting to suggest possible uses for the trunk, including using the trunk as a cross section to highlight moments in Urbana history.

Urbana to cut down oldest tree STAFF WRITER

Bare branches sway in the breeze similarly to brimming ones, yet rarely receive as much attention from those passing by. However, on Jan. 6, when a white dot appeared on the 312 Coler St. hackberry tree in Urbana, citizens wasted no time spreading the news about the tree’s newest physical addition. The small white circle signified the tree’s imminent removal within the next five days. The 14-story tall tree towers above its neighboring trees. The thick trunk is a sturdy landmark for those who live in the nearby neighborhoods. “We call the tree the biggest tree in the world, but it isn’t — it’s the biggest tree in Urbana,” said one champion of the tree, Jesse Wald. The 7-year-old found the white dot while on a walk with his father and younger brother. As he addressed the Urbana Tree Commission, his young voice drew a sharp contrast to the ancient tree in question and highlighted the varying walks of life this one tree has been a part of. However, this tree was different than most marked for removal — it was given a chance. Urbana citizens and admirers of this tree decided to rally together and see if they could save it, choosing to utilize Urbana’s Legacy Tree ordinance for the first time. The ordinance is a new way to preserve old trees as well as give

Work has officially begun at the University’s Arboretum as staff hope to construct the Heritage Garden, which will feature plants from across the state. Workers began to cut down the poplar trees overlooking Lincoln Avenue about two weeks ago to make way for the project. Bill Kruidenier, director of the Arboretum, said he hopes to see the Heritage Garden complete as soon as possible. “What we’re working on is (finding) a donor or donors because it’s a significant investment,” Kruidenier said. The garden itself is estimated to cost somewhere between 3.5 and 4 million dollars, and Kruidenier also expressed the arboretum’s need for an endowment of around $3 million dollars for garden maintenance. The design that is in place “is a conceptual design, and there’s quite a bit of work yet remaining,” Kruidenier said. He said the design was put together by University graduates, who collaborated with faculty and the then-director of the arboretum, along with campus and college-level administrators. “The garden will serve as an essential gateway and point of orientation for visitors to the Arboretum,” according to a

press release from the arboretum. “People enter through the Visitors Center where they can learn more about the garden that awaits them. With a framework of main brick pathways laid out on axial rays and in concentric rings, the Heritage Garden has an underlying logical structure that facilitates exploration.” The garden was designed completely by University alumni as a way for them to give back to the school. A group of five graduates of the University’s Horticulture and Landscape Architecture departments worked pro-bono and did not charge the University a design fee. “What made (this project) so special for me personally was that I’ve always wanted to give back to the University, and this is a great way to do that,” said Robert Milani, senior landscape architect at Chalet Nursery. The garden took about a year and a half to design, and when completed, it will serve the Champaign-Urbana community in various ways. “It was a collaborative effort, we’re very proud of it, very happy with it,” Milani said. Kruidenier said he hopes the garden will have a positive impact on the community. “We hope it will be both an active educational experience

said. “Be visible, get lights both front and rear and have them on flashing, just so that you’re more noticeable, and always wear a helmet. Keep your bike in good repair and air in the tires.” Security officials who work in places such as housing and libraries will now be on the lookout for bike code violators, Frost said. For code violators, a new University citation will be given that is similar to a notice to appear, although the penalties are “substantially less.” If a citation is given, students will have the opportunity to take an online course that, if passed, will allow them to be forgiven for their first citation. The course is a primary tool to educate students on the new policy, Frost said. For students who continually receive citations, they will be fined between $25 and $35. The money will be used for bicycle infrastructure and training, among other uses. “That’s kind of a win-win for everybody,” Frost said. “You get cited and that money is

(for students) as well as what’s called a passive educational experience for those that are going to look at the gardens and experience the plant material itself,” Kruidenier said. The completion of this garden has been on hold for about five years now, as it could not be completed because of funding shortages due to the recession in 2008. “Funding has always been an issue,” said David Williams, professor of crop sciences and collaborator on this project. The garden was meant “to emphasize the heritage of plant developers (and) plant explorers from the state of Illinois. Illinois has been very influential in plant

breeding works that introduce a wide variety of plants that are commercially very prominent now in the landscape industry,” Williams said. “So my idea was to have a garden that would feature the plants that they developed and their contributions — that was the idea behind it.” It is anticipated that the garden will be spread across seven acres, which will include the parking lot. The garden itself would be somewhere around five acres. There is no date yet available as to when construction will begin.

requirement of bikes to use lighting equipment when it gets dark, but Katz doesn’t believe students will follow the code to its entirety. “I think people will follow (the code) for the most part, but I don’t think that everyone will get a light on their bike. Also, I rarely see people use turn signals,” she said. “Other than that, I don’t think there will be much of a problem with the new code.” John Bryniarski, service manager of Champaign Cycle Co., estimated that the shop repairs two to three bikes a month during the busy season. Frost said the new code should improve bicycle safety, preventing potential damage. “From our end, what kills a bicycle isn’t a bent or broken derailleur, a bent wheel or anything like that. It’s a bent frame or fork,” Bryniarski said. “If you damage either of those, it’s very expensive to replace.” The fork — the part that holds the front wheel and allows riders to steer and balance — is easily damaged when riders crash into curbs, he said. The company sees five to six incidents per year and about three bikes that have been in car accidents. “It starts with the rider,” he

candidates special recognition, said Mike Brunk, Urbana city arborist. An emergency meeting of the Urbana Tree Commission was scheduled for Jan. 16 to listen to citizens’ suggestions and complaints as well as decide fate of the hackberry tree. Wald explained that he and his father “discovered it was the oldest tree in Urbana by doing very accurate measures,” showing one of the many educational values of this tree. Alderman Dennis Roberts, Ward 5, gave a brief history of the tree. It is speculated to have started its life on the banks of a tributary of the Boneyard Creek. In 1850, Judge Joseph W. Sim served as judge at the Urbana courthouse and owned the property the tree is now found on. “Because of the estimated age and size of the tree, we think the tree was probably a small or medium-sized tree at the time Abe Lincoln was practicing law in Urbana,” Roberts said. “It is really likely that Abraham Lincoln visited the judge and was on the property.” Brunk said he has hugged this tree all the way up and down during his safety inspections and even considers this tree his friend. But he said the tree is an “imminent hazard” and must come down as soon as possible. “This tree has seen its natural life,” Brunk said.

after spring break, when students generally start to bike again. “I think the new code is fair,” said Lily Katz, freshman in LAS, who rides a bike around campus. “I don’t think it asks too much of the bikers.” Some of the changes in the new policy include banning pedestrians from bike lanes, giving the right-of-way to pedestrians, instructions for passing pedestrians or bicyclists, prohibiting riding inside University buildings, a bicycle education requirement for violators and booting, according to the code. “Right now, it’s like the wild west out there,” Frost said. “People are riding on pathways that are designed strictly for pedestrians and not taking into account the density of people that are there is very dangerous. People are getting dinged up out there.” Katz has noticed similar issues. “My biggest pet peeve would be when everyone reacts like it’s the other person’s fault,” she said. “I’m guilty of this too, but it just doesn’t help anyone to continually blame others and not realize that you, as an individual, are part of the problem too.” A majority of the policies have stayed the same, including the

After a series of Board of Trustees committee meetings last week, the full board will convene Thursday on the Chicago campus to discuss and vote on a number of issues, including pension compensation plans, tuition and fees increases and electing the board’s officers for the coming year. In the board’s Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee meeting, a competitive compensation plan meant to supplement faculty pensions was discussed, University spokesman Tom Hardy said. “The recommendation is that the board provide a directive and some guidance,” Hardy said. “We need to be ready to act if it is decided that action is necessary to somehow supplement pensions so that we may remain competitive with other universities.” The board will not decide on specifics of the compensation plan at this meeting but will instead ask University administration to assess the situation and recommend plans to the board at a later meeting. “It will be up to the president and his team to come up with some recommendations for how a retirement supplement would be structured and funded,” Hardy said. The board is also due to elect two members to the board’s Executive Committee, the board chair, the secretary, comptroller and University counsel. The Executive Committee currently consists of three members: Chairman Christopher Kennedy, Edward McMillan and Pam Strobel. These members are elected

on an annual basis at the January board meeting and are appointed to a one-year term, according to the meeting’s agenda. In a recent Executive Committee meeting, members of the committee approved the University’s recommendation to award a State Farm Center renovation contract to Grunloh Construction. This action will be reported to the entire board at its meeting. The board is also expected to pass several resolutions suggested by the University that would increase the cost of tuition by 1.7 percent for incoming freshmen, the cost of fees by 2.3 percent and the cost of housing by 2 percent. These increases mirror last year’s tuition increases. “We are going to try as best as we can to stay with the rate of infl ation and hope that the state funds us at the rate it did previously,” Hardy said. “We can continue to be more efficient and effective and hopefully rely on friends of the University and philanthropy.” University President Robert Easter also stressed the importance of minimizing tuition hikes in a statement earlier this month. “Affordability is a cornerstone of our land-grant mission, providing the opportunity that helps every deserving student unlock their potential and foster the talents that are critical to the future of our state and nation,” Easter said. The board will also meet in Chicago on Wedneday for a retreat.

While standing outside, Choquette said, he and a friend saw a person leave the building with what appeared to be blood on his hands. Cousins was scheduled for a court hearing at 2:30 p.m. local time Wednesday, according to jail records.

Energy conservation initiative a success BY ZILA RENFRO STAFF WRITER

The Undergraduate Library and the Atmospheric Sciences Building will be announced as the fi rst-place winners of a campus-wide Energy Conservation Incentive Program at a ceremony Friday. The ECIP is a new program that rewards campus buildings for putting effort into reducing the amount of energy used. Designed by Facilities and Services, the program measured each building on campus with specialized meters and determined which of them conserved the most energy in the 2013 fi scal year. There are eight winners total, four buildings per category, awarded money for reducing energy consumption. Facilities and Services does a number of things to conserve energy at a systems level, said Morgan Johnston, sustainability coordinator of the Facilities and Services, but there comes a point where they can only do so much.

Not only was the tree not going to be the first legacy tree in Urbana, the meeting would conclude with a unanimous vote to cut the tree down. Instead of advocating for keeping the tree completely intact, audience members began brainstorming the best ways to memorialize it for future and current citizens of Urbana.

regarding the best way to save the tree. The commission is considering a cloning project with the intention of planting the replica in the same spot on Coler Street. There is also hope the tree will spread its seeds on the neighboring grounds and the tree’s genes will live on. At the meeting, Urbana citizen Ilona Matkovszki spoke about the importance of the hackberry tree’s beauty and how much it adds to the neighborhood. “I love this tree — it was one of the first things I noticed when I came to the city 20 years ago, and I have loved it ever since,” she said.

“We need the people on campus to participate in our energy conservation efforts.”

She compared the tree to a column in ancient Athens and Rome, adding that the great buildings that once stood there have fallen but some parts still remain. This tree trunk is the best ancient column citizens have in Urbana, and it must be remembered, she said. Matkovszki also supported a plan to annotate a map of Urbana with the locations of important trees for people to visit. Citizens also suggested replacing the tree with a cross section of it, marking important events in Urbana’s history on the rings. Though the commission unanimously

This year’s fi rst place winner of the Occupant Action category was the Undergraduate Library, which decreased its energy usage by 35.2 percent. The Undergraduate Library will receive a $50,000 reward plus a percentage of the money saved from energy reduction. All fi nancial rewards received by the winners are to be put toward building renovations or further environmental improvements, Johnston said. The Atmospheric Sciences Building is the fi rst place winner in the Energy Advancement category and has decreased its energy usage by 53.3 percent. The building will receive a portion of the funds that were not used on energy consumption. “We just hope to make people’s lives better and reward their contributions for conservation,” Marquissee said.

Jeffrey Dawson, chair of the tree commission, addressed the crowd after the vote and said he was “amazed and pleased by all of your support and interest,” but went on to add that “the tree has been on life-support for almost 20 years.” The tree commission discussed the possibility of the hackberry tree becoming the first the first honorary legacy tree, but it is still up for discussion.

Alcohol complicates businesses accommodating to concealed carry

Quick Commentary delivers bits of relevant and important issues on campus or elsewhere. We write it, rate it and stamp it. When something happens that we are not pleased with: DI Denied. When something happens that we like: Alma Approved.

In

July 2010, Oak Park, Ill., became the last remaining locality in the state to amend its handgun ordinance after the U.S. Supreme Court deemed its and Chicago’s bans on handguns unconstitutional. Nearly three years later, the entire state became the final piece in the national puzzle to permit concealed carry — leaving us with much to learn and a lot of catch-up work. While it was previously Illinois residents waiting on the state to begin issuing concealed carry permits, it is now the State that is waiting on Illinois businesses to begin responding to the new legislation. The Firearm Concealed Carry Act prohibits concealed carry around schools, childcare facilities, government buildings, bars, public transportation areas and even at special events and public gatherings. But other businesses, such as restaurants in particular, are left with the provision that they not allow concealed carry “if more than 50 percent of the establishment’s gross receipts within the prior three months is from the sale of alcohol,� according to the Illinois State Police. The remaining businesses, then, are left with a choice — the new law or the old standard. Take the infrastructure of campus’ most popular businesses, for example. Many of the more popular businesses around campus are restaurants by day and bars by night. The atmosphere can transition from calm and collective to rowdy and wild within just a day’s time. But with a change of setting and atmosphere comes a change in risk, too. In fact, according to CREDO Action, an online network of progressive activists, nearly 86 percent of gun deaths are committed by individuals who were drinking before they handled a gun. Sure, the law includes a provision addressing the harmful effects of mixing guns and alcohol, but that probably won’t be a factor in someone’s mind during an altercation. The choices these businesses have to make can’t please everybody. There are those who are ready to head in the same direction as the rest of the country and others who are still skeptical of a law not even one month into enactment. Rather than leaving discretion of the concealed carry law to businesses, there should be a more clear-cut rule regarding the mixing of guns and alcohol in certain establishments. Because while we know that the combination of guns and alcohol can be deadly, we don’t always know the intentions of the person carrying the gun or drinking the alcohol. We do know what concealed carry is meant to do: allow us our freedom to bear arms while keeping them concealed. We don’t want to deny lawabiding citizens the opportunity to operate a concealed carry permit as intended — regardless of whether alcohol is served at the establishment. What we’re worried about is risk, and just how much that increases when not just guns are added into the picture but alcohol, too.

While the show “Jon & Kate Plus 8� is long past its run on TLC (and America has moved on to other quirky television families), Kate Gosselin weaved her way into the media once again with her twin daughters, Cara and Mady, in a painfully awkward interview on NBC’s Today Show. But let’s be honest — we all stopped caring about the Gosselin’s the minute Kate got rid of her infamous haircut. At this point, all we care about now is getting constant updates on anything Honey Boo Boo has to say and the latest on Mama June’s marriage to Sugar Bear — TLC sure knows how to pick ‘em.

Dennis Rodman fails with his ‘basketball diplomacy’ REBECCA JACOBS Opinions columnist

It

is funny that Dennis Rodman has become a spokesperson for diplomacy between the United States and North Korea. Because, let’s face it, Rodman is the only person who truly sees himself as the diplomat in the situation. Rodman first visited the isolated country in February 2013 because of its supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, and his strong interest in basketball. Note that Rodman was brought to North Korea solely because he is a basketball player meant to serve Kim Jong Un’s entertainment interests. He was not brought to North Korea as a diplomat. According to Rodman, he has created “basketball diplomacy� to encourage President Barack Obama to reach out to Kim Jong Un since both of them are basketball fans. The White House denies approval of Rodman’s role as a diplomat between the United States and North Korea most likely because of differing values between the two governments. Even without the support of his government, Rodman developed

a close relationship with Kim Jong Un. According to NBC, Rodman sang “Happy Birthday� to his “best friend� at Un’s birthday celebration earlier this month. Rodman then played in a basketball game between American players and North Korean players during the celebration. A diplomat singing happy birthday to a dictator without the support of his own country? Now that’s ironic. Rodman does not have the credentials to be a diplomat between the United States and North Korea. Rodman is most famous for his time playing for the Chicago Bulls, but he has no history in diplomacy. This makes Rodman an ordinary citizen. Yes, he is a celebrity in America, and now in North Korea, but that does not qualify him to speak on behalf of the United States government. His sub-par qualifications have not stopped him from trying. For example, he has tip-toed the line of arguments about American Kenneth Bae’s detainment in North Korea. Bae was accused of attempting to overthrow the

North Korean government and was detained and later sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. Some argue Rodman should use his position as a connection to North Korea to help release Bae. That is not what has happened. In Rodman’s most recent trip, he claimed that there must have been a just reason why Bae was detained. This comment angered many of Bae’s American supporters, but Rodman said his comment was a result of the pressure he was under while in North Korea. So what was Rodman’s solution to his mistake? He checked into rehab when he returned to the United States. He has acted without the support of his government to build a relationship with a country that has limited ties with the rest of the world. He spoke his mind, even though what he said was controversial. It is hard for U.S. citizens to imagine a government like North Korea’s when the U.S. was founded on principles of free speech and the right to protest the government.

A diplomat singing “Happy Birthday� to a dictator without the support of his own country? Now that’s ironic.

Rodman is a U.S. citizen who has had a first-hand look at North Korea, a country that is severely isolated from the rest of the world, yet he has no more experience than any other ordinary citizen at mending such a strained relationship. In the eyes of Rodman, the friendship is meant to be diplomatic between the two countries. However, the friendship acts as insight into how different the two countries actually are. What is even more ironic is that the friendship that is meant to be diplomatic has not improved diplomatic relations. Rodman is now a celebrity after his back-and-forth trips between the U.S. and North Korea that have been glamorized widely by the media. What little light Rodman did shine on the situation in North Korea now seems extinct since his stint in rehab. Until a legitimate U.S. diplomat is sent to North Korea, Rodman’s attempts at diplomacy will only discredit future attempts made by the U.S. Choosing a legitimate diplomat is in the best interest of our country and its citizens. Rodman should realize the same.

Be back later, technology; life is happening SIMRAN DEVIDASANI Opinions columnist

R

ewind to two weeks back when my mom brought up the idea of disconnecting from technology during our week-long vacation. I was appalled that she came up with such an idea because how could a teenager — especially one from my generation — completely isolate herself from her friends and Facebook likes? It was like asking me to give up food or water. After countless arguments and comebacks, my dad had the final say — no technology on this trip. That one, simple rule completely changed my perspective and made this the best vacation I had ever been on. This winter break my family and I went to Maui, Hawaii. What made this vacation so great was that I nearly disconnected from the virtual world — I didn’t take my laptop with me, and I checked my phone a total of two times besides the occasional Snapchat or phone call. I swore to take a break from Face-

book, Tumblr and other forms of social media. During this trip, I swam under a waterfall, snorkeled, hiked and drove up to 10,000 feet above sea level to see the sunrise. And the whole time, I was doing it for me. Instead of posting statuses and pictures and constantly updating the world about what I was up to, I had the chance to experience these things for myself. I wasn’t thinking about how many likes the picture of me underwater would get, nor was I worried about the comments that were on my “check in.� In that sense, I felt as though all of these experiences allowed me to finally relax and enjoy what life had to offer, and were not simply experiences for others to enjoy through my eyes. These specific moments, from the long drives to the actual events, were purely for my amusement and my memory. In this generation of technology, it’s quite easy for most of us to live for others rather than ourselves. We worry about our Instagram likes and Tumblr hearts rather than focusing on thoroughly enjoying time with our friends and family. It’s become more about showing off and capturing

every moment with technology rather than living in the moment for ourselves. In fact, it is said that eight to 18 year olds spend around seven and a half hours daily using digital technologies. That could be seven and a half hours spent exploring new parts of a city, learning a new hobby, or even spending time with your family. If I had brought my cell phone along to every experience while in Hawaii, I would be engrossed in Tweeting or texting everyone about what I was doing at each and every moment. Instead of spending time with my family and catching up on everything I had missed while away at college, I would have been toiling away as a slave to that little eight-inch screen. Furthermore, it wouldn’t really have been a vacation, because I’d be doing the same things I do back home by going on social media websites and conversing nonstop with my friends. Without my phone or laptop at hand constantly, I was able to enjoy the smaller things that Hawaii had to offer. I witnessed countless moments of whales flipping their tails in the ocean during our drives because I

wasn’t staring down at my cell phone. And I finally caught up on books I’d been dying to read because I actually had the time. Most importantly, I was able to genuinely bond and spend time with my family. I even observed that if you take a break from surfing the web on your cell phone, you may realize how grown up your notso-little sibling has become. With technology, even though we may be physically present, we’re emotionally and mentally in another world — a world that we create and customize for ourselves. We get so consumed within this technological world that we don’t even stop to appreciate the face-to-face conversations that result in real connection. Even though it took a five hour plane ride away from home for me to realize this, I’m glad I was forced into this “no technology� rule. And I’ve concluded that every once and awhile, I’m going to take a full-day break from updating the world on what I’m up to. Because in all honesty, not that many people care.

A child from Cape Flats finds enjoyment in playing with a tire.

KRIZIA VANCE THE DAILY ILLINI

Lending a helping hand at home, in Cape Flats KRIZIA VANCE Video editor

“W

e’re fighting for the crumbs,� said Faeza Meyer, a resident of Cape Flats, a neighborhood that covers 32 acres within the city of Cape Town, known as the “slums� of South Africa. When I visited the area over winter break, I noticed that the houses are in close quarters to each other and composed of sheets of wood and metal so that light seeps through the cracks. Garbage can be found piled up in the corner and flies buzz about between two of the houses. There is no such thing as indoor plumbing, only communal outhouses or Porta Potties. Children run barefoot along paths that have shards of glass sticking out from the ground. I initially came upon the winter break study abroad program in Cape Town, South Africa, to get credit for my Global Studies major while learning in another country. By the second day of our two-week class, “Globalization and Insurgent Spaces,� the professor introduced us to local community activists from Cape Flats. During the 1950s, Cape Flats was the area where the government would displace nonwhites during the Apartheid. One of the activists was Meyer, the chairperson of the Housing Assembly, an organization that addresses the various inequalities found in the area. She joined the initiative not because she sought it, she said, but because it found her. For Meyer, life in Cape Flats is one continuous cycle, where people are constantly moving from one settlement to another due to eviction. She said there are around 450,000 people who are

currently applying for housing, a number that doesn’t include foreigners. During our visit to the impoverished neighborhood, children came running toward our group, in awe at the sight of visitors. I’m not one for children, but when I felt a little boy’s hand grab mine, I started to tear up. The toddler, who had lived his whole life in compromising circumstances, demonstrated so much openness toward me — he had brought me to tears by just simply reaching out to a stranger. We spent the rest of the day with them, playing games like soccer and painting the children’s faces. When we left, almost every kid in that settlement watched us walk across the street to our vans. Although the experience was heartwarming, I came to a hard realization: No matter how much I cared about them, it may not be enough to really change the lives of these kids. We often disregard and oversee the poverty that surrounds us. The ChampaignUrbana area is not only home to our University, a world-class research institution — it’s also home to world-class issues of inequality and struggle. In Champaign county, 22.1 percent of people live below the poverty level, according to the 2012 census, which is higher than the state average of 13.7 percent. Just look north of University Ave., and one can see how these injustices aren’t limited to third- or even secondworld countries. The poor of Champaign may not live in shacks, but they do face lack of access to basic resources that we, as students, are fortunate to have. It’s easy to be sympathetic when you’re traveling abroad with a class or volunteer organization. But when everything is said and done, we return to

I can only hope that the little girl who hugged my neck the whole time in Cape Flats will not succumb to teen pregnancy, or the little boy I painted a mustache on during the community project day will not join a gang. I will hope, because I will probably never know. But I do know, however, that I am aware of a dire situation of inequality in Cape Town — no person’s home should be reduced to a house of metal and wood scraps. Now that I am back in Champaign, in my nice, cozy apartment (complete with a washer and dryer in-unit), I am left with the question of how can I do more to help the people I’ve left behind. Although I am honestly concerned about the situation those people face, I am here in chilly Illinois and they are approximately 8,494 miles away. Donating money is always the go-to option, but I believe that throwing money at problems and not knowing how it’s spent is just as worthless as not acknowledging the situation. Being there for those people and dedicating time to their cause would prove to be the best solution. Although that is not feasible at this point in my life, what is feasible is acknowledging the situations of poverty and inequality that surround me in the community, and dedicate time to a local cause — one that I know I can impact. This semester I enrolled in a class called “Spanish in the Community,� where students have the opportunity to volunteer in the community’s schools and organizations. I left Cape Town with a heavy heart and an equally heavy mind, asking myself what the best way was to care and help those who are less fortunate than me. One of my South African friends taught us the phrase “Unutu ngumtu ngabantu Ubuntu,� which, translated from the African language Xhosa, means “A person is a person through other people.�

That is why she wants to implement an independent reporting structure, to provide a safe and confidential person to talk to without having to worry about losing ones job or failing a class. “Those are just the first basic steps. In time we want to be normalizing an inclusive atmosphere and normalize the notion that being sexist and sexual assault and harassment are not OK, so eventually the perpetrators get shamed out of the field,�

Clancy said. The next step in this project is to submit at least two papers for publication based on their data and to continue to challenge their colleagues to think well about these issues. “I’m intolerant of intolerance and tolerant of pretty much everything else,� Clancy said. “I admire and appreciate independence and hard work, and I try to make the kind of world that I can be proud to live in.�

Anthropology professor addresses sexual assault issues in field sites BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

When Professor Kathryn Clancy delves into a research project, she does so with the intention of making the world a better place for her sixyear-old daughter, who wants to grow up to be a scientist like she is. Clancy, anthropology professor at the University, was named one of Nature Magazine’s 10 people who mattered in 2013 for her research in trends of sexual assault in field sites within the field of anthropology. What Clancy found through her research is that sexual harassment is more common in anthropology than anticipated. It is vertical violence for the women and lateral violence for the men, vertical meaning it is coming from people in superior positions of authority or power and lateral meaning it is from peers, people at the same level of authority as the victim. The most common cases of harassment are older male professors targeting young female graduate students. Male students are usually targeted by their female peers. This information is based on data from over 600 survey respondents and 26 interviews of women and men who shared their stories of sexual harassment. Sexual assault is not limited to anthropology fieldwork but can be found in all places, such as in laboratories and at conferences. Growing up in the small city of Brockton, Mass., right outside of Boston, Clancy was a nerdy and outdoorsy kid. As an undergraduate at Harvard University, she was torn between pursuing neurobiology or an English degree to be a fiction writer. But somehow she stumbled upon bio-

logical anthropology, and all seemed right. “Biological anthropology is really just evolutionary storytelling about what it means to be human, so in a lot of ways it was a nice fit,� Clancy said. After graduating from Harvard in 2001, Clancy pursued her graduate degree in anthropology at Yale and did fieldwork in the Mogielica Mountain range in Poland. After a stint at Harvard, Clancy started as a professor at the University in 2007. Clancy writes for the Scientific American Magazine, and in a blog post called, “Anthropology Love Letters,� she discussed exactly what it was about anthropology that drew her in. “What I love about the field is that it tries to understand why it is that humans vary and what is so interesting, and in a way normal, about how different we all are,� Clancy said. “There are so many ways that can make us all turn out so differently, and I just love understanding all the different things that make us turn out into these fascinating beings.� Clancy’s traditional research is focused on women’s reproductive health but her newest research project deviates from her normal topics. It is about sexual assault and harassment occurring in fieldwork within anthropology. The project started roughly two years ago when Clancy was traveling to give talks at various anthropology conferences. She ran into an old friend who mentioned that she was struggling to get her dissertation done. “I asked her, ‘Hey, what’s going on — why aren’t you done yet?’ and that’s when she told me she had been sexually assaulted in the field,

and she couldn’t look at her data because it gave her flashbacks,� Clancy said. “And when she tried to report it to someone above her, they told her she was a liar and didn’t believe her.� Clancy said that the other people her friend worked with would not cut ties with the perpetrator because they were afraid of losing the data set. After this conversation, Clancy asked her friend and another person who had experienced a similar trauma to write posts on her blog. The entries helped gain her recognition as someone who was collecting information and trying to raise awareness on the issue of sexual assault in fieldwork. Andrew Orta, department head of anthropology at the University and Clancy’s colleague, said that Clancy is especially passionate about linking her focus on women’s reproductive health with the training of young women as scientists. “Through her public speaking and her blog work, she is an important public voice and a role model for biological anthropology and women in science,� Orta said. When Clancy was asked to speak about ethics to other anthropologists at a conference, she knew she had to expand the collection of anecdotes into a full-fledged research project. “I realized my colleagues were going to skewer me if all I had were anecdotes,� Clancy said. “So that is when I decided to do something rigorous, and I got some of my colleagues together to do a real collaborative research project on this.� After collecting data and information from polls, surveys and countless interviews, Clancy found that sexual assault, harassment and bully was more substantial than she anticipated. “I felt sadness and despair, but I could say it wasn’t surprising yet it wasn’t unsur-

prising,� Clancy said. “It just felt like the status quo; it felt like what I heard from too many people. I’m kind of at that point in my career where I’ve heard too many awful things.� Clancy has been asked to speak at multiple conferences about the issue and her findings since the start of her research. After posting the preliminary results and several blog posts, she was contacted by women from all over the country and the world who wanted to do similar projects in their own subfields. Two professional societies, the American Association of Anthropology and the American Association of Physical Anthropologists both published statements against sexual harassment. The AAPA also formed an ethics committee and the AAA established a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment. All of the increased dialogue, awareness and action on the issue makes Clancy feel excited about her work. She said she feels good that her advocacy has sparked attention to such a serious issue that was not being discussed just two years ago. Patricia Jones, who reaches out to faculty and fosters interdisciplinary research through the Beckman Institute, works with Clancy and said that Clancy is very energetic and passionate about her work. By drawing attention to a real issue, Jones thinks that Clancy is doing a service to the community through her research. One motivating factor to Clancy’s passion for social justice, Jones said, is Clancy’s role as a parent. “When you become a parent, you want what’s best for your kid and other kids out there, and when you see this kind of stuff it’s really disturbing,� Jones said. “As you get older, you tend to see the more ugly aspects of the world, and for many of us that motivates us to say,

‘What can I do to make the world a better place?’ And once you have kids, you also have a motivation to say, ‘How can I make the world a better place for my kid?’� Clancy herself recognizes she has a strong sense of fairness and that motivates a lot of her behavior. “I have a real problem with cheating, discrimination, entitlement and other factors that can create unfair environments,� she said. “Given how outspoken and strident I often seem, I think it surprises people how maternal I sometimes am: not just with my daughter, but with my students and teammates (I play roller derby for our local league).� This maternal instinct is why Clancy is so invested in creating a safer environment within the sciences for people to do their work, especially with a daughter who aspires to join the field. According to Clancy, the experience that people have in the field directly influences what they choose to do in science if they stay in it at all. Some of the women Clancy and her team interviewed are no longer scientists because they were so horribly abused in the field that they did not want to return. Clancy gave an example of another woman who was sexually assaulted who changed her entire research program so she would never have to go back to the field site of her assault. Clancy said that men who do not directly experience but had to witness it over and over again were psychologically damaged from feeling like they were worthless, horrible people for not speaking up, but they were paralyzed themselves because they were afraid of what would happen to them if they spoke up. “So in my mind, what’s at stake here is the psychological health of a huge num-

As an incoming freshman during fall 2011, sitting in a room full of people dressed in business attire, Jane Sobczak did not know what to expect when she began her journey through Professional Business Fraternity Rush. However, the connections she has made throughout the past three years, she said, have fully prepared her for her future endeavors in the business world, and has ultimately led her to an internship at Ernst and Young for summer 2014, where she will be working in the Risk and Assurance Service line. Finding somewhere to belong is a goal of many college students, whether it is for social or academic purposes. Professional business rush, which begins on Wednesday for Alpha Kappa Psi, allows students at the University to combine these two aspects. They are able to find wonderful people who can help shape their college experience, said Ann Symonanis, junior in LAS and Alpha Kappa Psi member. Although these professional business organizations are considered fraternities, they differ greatly from the Greek rush process. According to Sobczak, who rushed both Delta Sigma Pi and Phi Gamma Nu (where she currently holds membership), business fraternity rush holds multiple stages. First, each business fraternity will host an information night to demonstrate their fraternities’ goals and expectations to prospective candidates. These particular nights allow candidates to network as well as make an impression before the formal rush process begins. Once the first stage begins, candidates will participate in two-on-one interviews where they will be asked behavioral questions. If candidates are asked to return, they proceed to the second round, which is known as the “social stage.� This provides a more casual setting to talk to active members, Sobczak said. The third and final stage is a long interview, which lasts about 12 minutes. Out of the general 200 applicants, only 20 members make it into the semester’s pledge class. David Van Vlierbergen, junior in Business and Phi Gamma Nu member, recalled that he felt more pressure in the professional business fraternity rush process than the Greek rush process because they asked questions such as, “Have you ever encountered failure? If so, how did you handle it?� Symonanis agreed and said the main difference between the two was that rushing Alpha Kappa Psi involved more of an actual interview than a casual conversation. However, time spent in business fraternities is not entirely consumed with stressful interviews and business preparations. Symonanis said she enjoys the many social aspects of her business fraternity. “AKPsi is a great organization because besides professional events, we also have many social events such as (a) barn dance, semi-formal, intramural sports, fieldtrips and formal,� she said. “We also offer many philanthropy events that allow students to help the Champaign-Urbana community throughout the year.� Van Vlierbergen said his fraternity also participates in many philanthropy events

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

ared Hiltzik is on the top of Illinois men’s tennis right now. As most expected of the No. 4 singles player in the country, Hiltzik finished the Illini Open, hosted by Illinois in Fort Myers, Fla., undefeated against the singles competition and held a 2-1 record as the No. 31 ranked doubles duo with teammate Alex Jesse. His three straight-set victories were clean, his moves were confident, and his skill was apparent. On the outside, this performance seemed to say this was the same Hiltzik as last year, just with a year of competition under his belt. And on the surface, it might be the appropriate analysis. But internally, 2014 welcomes a new Jared Hiltzik, one who used his experiences last season to transform into a calmer, more

balanced student-athlete who can now enjoy life both on and off the court. “It’s something that last year I really struggled with a lot,� Hiltzik said. “Just really freaking out about, ‘Oh, I’m going to college and trying to be a professional tennis player, I’m losing four years doing that.’� Even before leaving his home in Wilmette, Ill., Hiltzik knew his end goal. He wanted to become a professional tennis player, and going to college at Illinois was simply his next step in reaching that goal. But once he arrived, college became something much more — and very real. From a new girlfriend to figuring out which major to declare, Hiltzik quickly learned what many before him already knew: Life as a collegiate athlete was a juggling act — a difficult one — and his had just begun. When his first spring dual sea-

son arrived, life was happening all around him. On top of school and social life, Hiltzik had just arrived at the meat of his first season, with the expectation of 2012 top tennis recruit still looming over him. He would be the first one to tell you it was challenging to get through. “It was a big struggle last year, just coming in with high expectations as a freshman, just being the top in the country, and just really expecting to have a big mark,� he said. And yet, one year later, Hiltzik approaches a similar situation with a different outlook. While the expectations are still there, playing college tennis is no longer just getting through it to him. It’s about understanding the challenges before him and knowing how to best handle them. “I think I’ve matured a lot with

he power of sports is really pretty impressive. If you read my columns with any regularity, (yes, I’m talking about you, dear reader) you know I believe wholeheartedly in that statement. Vladimir Putin apparently does as well. Just this past weekend, Russia’s president announced that LGBT participants and fans at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi are not to be discriminated against in any way. This statement came with an asterisk when Putin added that gay athletes should “leave kids alone� as a condition of this promise of security. These statements were made in light of criticism regarding a Russian law barring any public displays of homosexuality or spreading homosexual “propaganda.� The law has prompted many arrests, just as many protests, and spawned a lot of criticism for the iron-fisted Putin. Now, Putin is not one inclined to fold under the weight of public sentiment, but the Olympics are different. Putin has made his feelings about the law clear, and his

statement about tolerance isn’t fooling anyone into thinking he has changed his mind on the matter. It does, however, bring up an interesting point: the Olympics have put Russia, and more specifically Putin, under an international microscope it would have otherwise avoided. This is a good thing. He may not change his mind about the topic ever, but bringing Putin to reason is the power of international sports. The ancient Olympic games are one of the few things in Putin’s political history that have caused him to show at least a fraction of flexibility. President Obama’s response to Russia’s law was to send a U.S. Olympic delegation full of gay and lesbian ex-athletes, and they will undoubtedly not be the only high-profile guests who do not quite fit into Putin’s concept of the ideal human being. Many questions have been raised with regards to active protests of the games themselves, seeing as some protestors have already been arrested along the Olympic torch route. The key is awareness, and the Olympics bring one gigantic media circus into the picture to examine every piece of the host country and even pieces of the non-host countries as well. There are dozens of events at the games, but perhaps the biggest draw of the Olympics to casual fans is the story beyond the sport. Those human-interest stories get the ball rolling, and even though the problems don’t get

Hockey adjusts after losing goalie midseason Goalie Kyle Clark transfers to Joliet to pursue fire science BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

In a 17-goal performance against in-state rival Northern Illinois on Dec. 14, the Illini hockey team eventually stopped celebrating as the puck continued to reach the back of the net. But when Kyle Clark lined up a shot from the blue line and sent it flying over the left shoulder of the Huskies goaltender, the Illini bench erupted with cheers and the players on the ice rushed the junior with high-fives and pats on the helmet. It was just the second goal in Clark’s brief career with Illi-

nois, but the Illini knew it was also his last. The 20-year-old junior left the Illini hockey team after deciding to transfer to Joliet Junior College this semester to study fire science. From there, Clark said he’s hoping to get into a cadet program near his home town of Minooka, Ill., and begin a career as a firefighter. But for Clark, starting a new life as a prospective firefighter means hanging up his skates for good. “It was a tough decision,� Clark said. “I love the team, and I love hanging out with the guys, but the hardest decision of all of this was having to leave hockey.� Clark had 26 points in 38 games with the Chicago Hitmen in the Great Lakes Junior Hockey League before joining Eastern Illinois in the 2011-12

season. The defenseman had 12 points in 15 games playing in the ACHA Division-II league with Eastern Illinois before deciding to transfer to Illinois after his freshman year. Clark had four assists and two goals during his time with the Illini and was an integral part of the team’s defense, having previous collegiate and junior hockey experience. “We’re definitely going to miss him,� head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “He’s a great guy and brings a lot to the team both on and off the ice.� The junior defenseman said he focused on what he needed to do for his academic future and then addressed his teammates during a team meeting where he told them he would not be returning

After starting 2-0 in conference play, the Illinois men’s basketball team has lost four straight games to fall to 2-4. Illinois’ recent slide and 2-4 start can be largely attributed to a conference-worst offense in Big Ten play. The Illini aren’t making shots the way they were in nonconference play.

Along with a dip in field goal percentage, Illinois has seen its 3-point percentage drop from 33.4 percent to 26.2 percent, which is 11th in the conference behind Northwestern. Still, the Illini shoot the long ball more often than every Big Ten team except the Wildcats and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The drop in field goal percentage and 3-point percentage can be attributed to every player except point guard Tracy Abrams and freshman forward Malcolm Hill. Illinois’ leading scorer, Rayvonte Rice, averaged 18.2 points per game in nonconference play but has averaged only 15.4 in league games. His field goal percentage against the league’s strong opponents has dropped 16.3 percentage points (50.0 percent to 33.7 percent), needing more shots per game to average three fewer points.

The largest offensive drop has come at the hands of center Nnanna Egwu. Egwu averaged 8.0 points per game on 41.7 percent shooting in nonconference play but has seen his scoring drop to 4.2 points per game in conference play while making just 24.4 percent of his shots. Egwu has also missed all 11 3-pointers he’s shot in conference play, despite shooting 5-for-12 in nonconference play. He has gone scoreless in Illinois’ past two games. Point guard Abrams has been able to increase his scoring largely thanks to a 10 percentage point increase in 3-point shooting (25.0 percent to 35.7 percent). Abrams’ scoring has also increased because of his success from the free throw line, as he has hit 89.5 percent of his shots from the charity stripe in Big Ten play.

Abra ms a nd h is teammates are second in the conference in free throw percentage and free throws are providing more scoring than in nonconference play, but tightly called games have not benefited the Illini because of their susceptiblity to foul. Abrams’ i ncreased efficiency, along with the emergence of two additional scoring threats in freshmen Hill and Kendrick Nunn, has helped make up for the decreased offensive production from starters Rice, Egwu, Ekey and Bertrand. Despite the decline in production from Egwu on the offensive end, Groce said his contribution on the defensive end compared to freshmen bigs Maverick Morgan and Austin Colbert justifies his presence on the court. Defensive production hasn’t been the problem

Crawford playing well but women’s basketball struggling BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

There haven’t been many bright spots during the Illinois women’s basketball’s fi rst five games of the conference schedule, other than the play of guard Ivory Crawford. The junior has been on an offensive tear in January, averaging 20.3 points per game for the month. Crawford has led the team in scoring in every contest in the new year, consistently scoring 19 points or more in each game. She has shot 48.1 percent from the field and 30.0 percent from three during that stretch. “Ivory’s game has gone to a whole other level,” junior guard Alexis Smith said. “I love playing with her. She’s got a take-on mentality and she’s a fighter and she’s going to get it done, and that’s what she’s been showing.” Crawford said that she has mostly been working on her defense in lieu of her offense as of late, as defense is the team’s philosophy. She said other than her defense, she has practiced her 3-point shot and has been helping guide younger players. Despite Crawford’s hot play, the Illini (8-10, 1-4 Big Ten) as a team have struggled against its conference foes. The team dropped its fi rst three games, all at home, against Wisconsin,

Penn State and Nebraska. The Illini then split their next two road games, winning at Northwestern and losing at Michigan. Smith, Crawford and head coach Matt Bollant said the team’s struggles of late have come down to closing out second halves and defensive consistency throughout games. “Coach said in practice earlier (Tuesday), he mentioned that every game we play the fi rst five minutes of the game really, really hard, but the last five won’t be as hard as the fi rst,” Crawford said. “We just have to learn how to start hard and fi nish hard as well.” With just 11 regular season games remaining before the Big Ten tournament, six of them on the road, the Illini are not concerned with their postseason chances despite holding a 1-5 road record. “We’re not worried about it,” Crawford said. “We’re not worried about a team, the past or anything. We’re worried about the next outcome, and how we can change that. We’re working on building on our faults and failures right now.”

Illini too reliant on starters, turnovers There’s no doubt the Illinois

defense is pesky and generates turnovers. After all, the Illini are averaging just under 24 points off turnovers per game, are ranked ninth the nation in steals per game (11.6) and 10th in turnover margin per game (+6.5). The team’s ability to cause turnovers is impressive, but both the Illini’s offense and defense is reliant on that ability as well as its starting five of Crawford, Smith, senior guard Amber Moore, sophomore guard, Sarah Hartwell and freshman forward Jacqui Grant. Bollant said that when the team does not force a turnover, it “gives up too many easy shots” which explains the Illini’s poor play against opposing team’s offenses. In the conference, Illinois ranks last in points per game allowed (71.4) and defensive field goal percentage (42.4). On the other side of the ball, the team’s starters have scored 84.9 percent of the team’s points this entire season. As of late, Bollant has not had much depth to rely on late in games or when his starters are in foul trouble. “I think (the lack of depth) has hurt us some,” Bollant said. “It makes a huge difference for us. Especially for as hard as we

play, we need to have some kids who can rotate off the bench to give us some quality minutes. Our starters won’t be able to play 40 minutes a game the way we play.” Bollant said he tried altering the starting lineup in order to provide a spark off the bench, starting junior forward Nia Oden in place of Hartwell against Penn State and Nebraska; however, Hartwell could not provide any effectiveness off the bench, scoring no points on five shots in 28 minutes.

Smith expands range Three-point shooting has never been Alexis Smith’s forte, but the guard has implemented the shot into her game with increasing success. In the past six games, Smith has hit nine of her 22 attempts from long range. Prior to her run, she had been 0-4 on the year and 3-37 in her career. “I really started working on my shot since last summer,” Smith said. “The coaches have been giving me confidence by telling me I’m capable of shooting, so I took what they said and made a choice to change it.”

Jayhawks’ Embiid shows poise, potential in recent win over Baylor BY VAHE GREGORIAN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Whether the notion was to provoke or merely suffocate Kansas center Joel Embiid, it took only seconds Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse for Baylor to reveal its most urgent priority: Swarm, stifle, pester and otherwise harass Embiid, the infinitely intriguing talent with the somewhat enigmatic temperament still navigating the embryonic stages of his basketball career. First and foremost, Baylor was going to embed itself in Embiid and go from there against KU, which stiff-armed the Bears in the second half for a 78-68 victory to culminate a remarkable stretch of five wins in five games against currently ranked teams. Embiid had earned that attention, and in more ways than one. To be sure, with his recent play, highlighted by the 13-point, 11-rebound, eight blocked shotperformance Saturday against Oklahoma State that boosted him to Big 12 newcomer of the week for the second time this season. And just as certainly with his recent bursts of temper, most vividly demonstrated in the flagrant fouls he’d been assessed in each of KU’s previous three games. Complicating contending with that for Embiid, of course, is the fact that the mindset that has led to those excesses is entwined with the enhanced intensity that has triggered his recent surge and emergence from some soft moments earlier in the season. So with KU’s other double-digit scorers (Andrew Wiggins, Wayne

Selden and Perry Ellis) coming off a game in which they combined for 18 points, Baylor’s best chance to win for the first time in 11 tries at Kansas was going to start with stopping or at least flustering Embiid. That’s why he was fouled three times in the first 2 minutes and 22 seconds of the game and why there was a little extra English applied to him more than a few times, including a rough thump by Royce O’Neale that sent Embiid backpedaling late in the first half. Never mind that Embiid had staggered so far away from O’Neale that he would have had to rev himself to go back at him. What mattered was that Embiid responded without so much as a squawk and by simply gathering himself and making two free throws. That wasn’t exactly the glamour point of the game, of course. For that, we’ll take Wayne Selden’s mesmerizing and maybe unforgettable backward leap over the scorer’s table into the stands to save a ball to Embiid that gave the Jayhawks a 53-44 lead and was the catalyst to their breakaway. But that moment late in the first half, and the game itself, marked a night of growth for Embiid, whose play and disposition will go a long way toward dictating KU’s trajectory in March. Despite his modest numbers, (12 points, four rebounds, one blocked shot and three turnovers), the broader meaning was that, as marked as he was, Embiid stayed poised.

He demonstrated impulse control and an ability to distinguish response from rash reaction, revealing that he may understand that there can be more toughness in restraint than in retaliation. Of course, demonstrating that potential and harnessing it consistently are two different things, and Embiid will face a lot more of the same treatment ahead. But it was crucial that he begin overcoming that now, as much for his own development as for the perception of him. If he wasn’t already acquiring a reputation that would lead to more officiating scrutiny and the attendant anticipation of some ill-considered moves, he was getting close. And that can be a hard tag to lose. Maybe more meaningfully, though, it was imperative Embiid come to terms with his own absurd talents and maximizing them. The game itself remains so fresh to him, so of course the demands and challenges of it do, too. Yet he’s already displayed a breathtaking grasp and feel for so much, coupling that with uncanny agility for a 7-footer. Now he’s learning how to play angry without being angry, how to be aggressive without being reckless and how to stay passionate without being easily provoked. And if Monday was any indication, Embiid understands the differences. It was at least a momentary breakthrough that will make him all the more potent if he can master the distinctions.

10. Northwestern

The Cornhuskers have struggled as many expected them to. But few expected them to upset Ohio State on Monday for their first conference win.

Kansas Jayhawks’ Joel Embiid rips a rebound away from Baylor Bears’ Rico Gather, left, and Royce O’Neale during the second half at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan., on Monday. Kansas won 78-68.

Big 12 basketball appears to be catching up to Big Ten with multiple wins over ranked opponents BY SHANNON RYAN CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The Big Ten was impressive recently with three ranked teams in the top five. But the Big 12 is on the move and could be the strongest conference overall, even with only one team in the top 10. The conference placed six teams in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 with No. 8 Kansas

surging and looking like a national championship contender after all. Kansas’ four wins against ranked teams (before facing Baylor on Monday night) was the most by any in the AP Top 25. No. 24 Baylor took a hit with three losses in four games, and No. 16 Iowa State needs to relocate its mojo after dropping three straight. But both remained ranked. No. 22 Kansas State jumped

back into the polls by beating No. 25 Oklahoma, which is a nice surprise this season. No. 11 Oklahoma State has a talented roster that has taken a few bumps but still could make a run on the conference title. It may be Kansas’ conference to lose, but the Big 12 looks like a conference that could go far in March. Player of the week: Joel Embiid, Kansas. He wasn’t the freshman every-

one was talking about nationally in the preseason, not even on his own team as Andrew Wiggins commanded attention. But Embiid will be the player everyone is talking about this week, and maybe for the rest of the season. The 7-foot center has developed rapidly, showing his skills with 16 points and nine rebounds in a victory over Iowa State and 13 points and 11 rebounds against Oklaho-

ma State. Team of the week: Michigan. The Wolverines were pretty much written off as Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State sat in the top five nationally. But now, even without injured Mitch McGary, the Wolverines are inserting themselves into the race for Big Ten title. Michigan joins the Spartans as the only teams unbeaten in con-

ference play after Saturday’s 77-70 takedown of Wisconsin on the road. Games to watch: Wednesday: Iowa at Michigan, 8 p.m. EST, BTN. . Thursday: Colorado at Arizona, 10 p.m., ESPN2. Saturday: Syracuse at Miami, 2 p.m., CBS. Michigan at Michigan State, 8 p.m., ESPN. Kansas State at Iowa State, 2:45 p.m., ESPN3.

Carroll comments on Sherman’s postgame rant

Deng faces Bulls for 1st time since trade to Cleveland

“It’s later than we wanted it to be,� Carroll said. “But we are still on track for something really special. We had to wait a little bit. It might be worth it.� If there was a moment when Carroll began to see it come together, he recalled Monday, it was midway through his second season in 2011, when fi rst- and second-year players like Sherman, Earl Thomas and safety Kam Chancellor began to emerge. Those players, along with the likes of receiver Doug Baldwin (an undrafted rookie in 2011) and running back Marshawn Lynch (acquired midway through the 2010 season) began to show the competitiveness Carroll knew it would take to get to the top. “I think you can see that we have really chosen guys that have a feeling that they have something to prove,� Carroll said. “I feel like that, John (general manager John Schneider) feels like that. We all kind of feel like that. A little bit of chip-on-the-shoulder mentality around here. And it’s something I recognized in the second year here. I think we had a bunch of guys that understood what that meant, and we have just kind of built on that somewhat. “So I think we are a very, very competitive group and they understand the value of that and how that fuels us and gets us

BY BOB CONDOTTA MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made clear Monday he would have preferred Richard Sherman deliver his message in a more delicate way than he did after Sunday’s NFC Championship game win over the San Francisco 49ers. “We did sit down and talk about it because I wanted him to present himself in his best light, because he’s an incredible kid,� Carroll said. “ .. . I think he is very understanding at this point that he caused a stir that took something away from the team.� Carroll’s comments also make it clear he views the edge and attitude in Sherman’s postgame comments one reason the Seahawks got to where they are—headed to Super Bowl XLVIII to play the Denver Broncos on Feb. 2 in New Jersey. Carroll reflected on the road Seattle has traveled since he took over in 2010 as he met with the media Monday after Sunday’s 23-17 win over the 49ers. The vic tory was preserved when Sherman batted a pass into the hands of teammate Malcolm Smith in the end zone with 22 seconds left. Carroll insisted that from the day he arrived he believed the Seahawks could get to the Super Bowl quickly.

BY K.C. JOHNSON CHICAGO TRIBUNE

In the direct aftermath of his Jan. 7 trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Luol Deng said he hadn’t thought about what it would be like to face the team for which he played for nine-plus seasons. His former Chicago Bulls teammates followed suit, saying they didn’t want to think about what it would be like to face such a popular figure in the locker room until it happened. On Wednesday, it’s happening. “I love Luol,� said Joakim Noah, who needed four days to address the trade publicly. “He’s my brother. But when that ball goes up, he’s not going to be my brother.� The Cavaliers have gone 4-3 overall since the trade became public and 3-3 in the games in which Deng has played. Deng is averaging 18.7 points as a Cavalier and 19 points overall. “I know how fierce of a competitor he is,� head coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I know he’s going to be trying to beat us and we’re going to be trying to beat him. And then after the game we’re going to visit. I have a lot of respect for him, all the stuff he did for us, what he did for me personally. But friendship aside, we’re coming up there, we’re going to be ready.� Speaking to Cleveland reporters Tuesday, Deng said, “It will defi nitely be weird. But as soon as the ball goes up, I want to play basketball and I want to win. “I don’t want this to be Luol Deng playing his old team. I just want to win.�

GEORGE BRIDGES CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Luol Deng is fouled by Francisco Garcia of the Houston Rockets while playing for the Chicago Bulls on Dec. 18 in Houston. Deng will play against the Bulls on Wednesday as a Cleveland Caveliers.

With Hinrich injured, Bulls re-sign James to 10day contract Kirk Hinrich didn’t travel with the Bulls to Cleveland on Tueasday after injuring his right hamstring late in the third quarter of Monday’s overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. With the Marquis Teague trade to the Nets becoming official Tuesday and Derrick Rose out for the season, D.J. Augustin was the only point guard on the Bulls’ roster James, waived by the Bulls on Dec. 16, will join the team for Wednesday’s game in Cleveland.

where we want to go. ... It’s a powerful feeling that we have.� A feeling that helped lead to Sherman’s tip of Colin Kaepernick’s pass. Then came Sherman’s rant, boasting and deriding intended receiver Michael Crabtree, whom Sherman felt had slighted him at a charity softball game last summer. Carroll said he talked to Sherman on Monday, and that Sherman “didn’t feel right� about the way he presented himself and for taking away from the team’s performance. “I told them this weekend, we don’t let them be themselves, we celebrate them being themselves, and we cheerlead for them to be themselves,� Carroll said. “And we try to bring out the very best that they have to offer. Sometimes we go overboard, sometimes the individuals get out of bounds, and then you have to step back and get back in bounds. I understand that. That’s kind of how we operate. It may sound different to you, but that’s how we do it.� Carroll’s ability to successfully mesh disparate personas is evident in the Seahawks’ locker room—from the outspoken, outrageous Sherman to the morescripted Russell Wilson — that some credit for the team’s march to the Super Bowl.

PUTIN solved right there during the games, the awareness grows. After the success of Team USA’s swimmer Cullen Jones in the 2008 Beijing Games, his charity that promotes swimming lessons and safety in minority communities boomed. The group of kids he targets with his work is a group traditionally underserved in one of the most basic human physical skills: swimming. Looking to the future provides

HILTZIK the past year and having good communication with the coaches has really helped, too,� Hiltzik said. “So just being able to stay on track with what I’m trying to do has made sure I don’t think about (the pressure) too much.� Communication, Hiltzik said, has been the most important part of adjusting into his role. Being able to communicate his worries and concerns has allowed him to tackle each one without it interfering with his tennis game. “I used to keep everything internally, and having more of an external mind set has really helped.�

even more fodder for discussion: Rio de Janeiro, the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics, and one of the main host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is a city rife with danger and has problems that many critics have highlighted in the build-up to the two events. If not for the arrival of these two major sporting summers, the crime and poverty in Rio might have been swept under the rug of international consciousness and never really acknowledged, but instead it is out in the open. The games won’t solve the problems with Rio, but they

bring to light the serious gang problems that exist there, and give the international community, with all of its resources, a chance to take a crack at the problem. Taking a crack at the problem isn’t what Putin wants, but it’s what he’s going to get in the next month when the world converges in Sochi to perform on international sport’s grandest stage.

By communicating his goals and feelings better, Hiltzik now has the luxury of being able to focus exclusively on improving his technique day-to-day with only his own expectations on his mind. “That’s what he does best,� head coach Brad Dancer said. “He just stays in the moment and plays really hard.� Dancer said he has already noticed a growth in Hiltzik’s performance this season, which has led to sharper play and more confidence in his game. “He’s got incredible balance,� Dancer said. “He has a great time with his teammates, he’s friends with other people, he does a great job of communicating with our network of alumni and so forth, and I think he’s

setting himself up for a bright future in tennis and outside of tennis.� Standing on the courts of the Atkins Tennis Center, Hiltzik doesn’t have life all figured out. There are still worries and expectations, but his head seems to be held a little higher. His smile seems to be a little wider. Because now that he’s gotten his balance, he isn’t in such a hurry to be the Jared Hiltzik of the future. The Jared Hiltzik of right now is just fine. “You do whatever you have to do just to have a real good grasp of a full life and not just being tennis, tennis, tennis,� he said. “It helps a lot.�

HOCKEY to Illinois this semester — something he said was the most difficult part of leaving. But Clark’s departure from the Illini isn’t simply just a loss for the team on or off the ice. It’s also a grim reminder that each player in the Illinois locker room will one day be forced to walk away from the game they fi nd so central to their lives. “It was defi nitely a reality check,� Clark said. “It’s a wake up call that’s says, ‘This ends at some point.’ You’ve just got to enjoy it while you can. Everyone knows it’s coming, but when the day comes, you’re like, ‘Wow.’� Fabbrini, who traded in his skates and sweater for a suit and a coaching job after the 2007-08 Illini hockey season, understands the weight of Clark’s decision to leave the game. “A lot of these guys are not going to be able to play hockey for a living,� Fabbrini said. “As important as hockey is in all of these guys’ lives, they’ve got real-world responsibilities and things they need to take care of.� Although Clark knew the game on Dec. 14 would be his last, he said it wasn’t difficult for him to take the ice against Northern Illinois. “I went out there knowing it was my last game, so I just wanted to have some fun,� Clark said. “I was having a blast out there and everyone knew so they were talking to me and hyping me up and everything. It was a great time out there. I loved it.� Clark’s goal late in the fi nal period of his career as an Illini wasn’t as important as simply being out on the ice one last time, accord-

ing to the junior. The defenseman thanked the Illini hockey program for his time with the team and said he plans to visit the Illini when he gets the opportunity. “It’s defi nitely always going to have a spot with me,� Clark said of his time with the Illini. “It’s always going to be there with me.� Illini captain Austin Bostock said it’s a huge loss for the team to head into the second half of the season without Clark in the locker room. “He’s a great guy and a great teammate,� Bostock said. “He’s there whenever you need him and he’s also a great defenseman. It’s tough to see him go, but obviously he’s got to go his way and we wish him all the best.� Fabbrini said losing a player midway through the season isn’t ideal for the team, but hopes a couple of D-III players who plan to transfer to the University will be able to fill in the gap left by Clark, such as newcomer Yoshi Shibata — a forward from Hamline University. Clark informed Fabbrini that the decision to leave the team had nothing to do with the Illini hockey club or the University, but was simply a move he needed to make in order to prepare for life after college. “He wants to be a fireman and I’m obviously not going to stand in the way of something like that,� Fabbrini said. “Things like that are a reminder that these guys have a lot more going on in their lives than just being at the rink here for a couple of hours a day.�
