BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Fitzgerald joins board of trustees »
BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
Former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is the newest member of the University board of trustees, appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn on Friday. “I am very excited to join the board and be part of trying to help serve a great institution,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m hoping that I can come in with lots of questions and try to learn what’s going on as quickly as I can.” Fitzgerald is replacing trustee Lawrence Oliver II, whose term expired Jan. 14. Previously having served as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois for more than 10 years, Fitzgerald led the investigations that resulted in corruption charges against former Govs. George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich.

HYPOTHESIS
‘I see Mr. King’s dream come alive’ BY ATOOSA SAYEH STAFF WRITER
Although its been more than 50 years since the Jim Crow laws of the south were abolished, Ernest Green, one of the Little Rock Nine, spoke to community members Friday afternoon about how discrimination and segregation are still present in today’s society. Green was the keynote speaker for Champaign County’s 12th annual celebration honoring the legacy of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. Green discussed some of his experiences as one of nine teenagers who were the first black students to attend

Little Rock Central High School in 1957. “We’re hoping that by bringing Mr. Green in we are doing our part, and we hope folks will be encouraged to overcome that mountain which is discrimination, lack of equality and lack of diversity which a lot of us are still seeing today,” said Otis Noble III, one of the committee chairs planning the event. At Friday’s event, Green shared one of his favorite memories of King: the “I Have a Dream” speech the day of the March on Washington.

A team of University professors received a $5.7 million grant from The National Science Foundation’s Plant Genome Research project to expose variations of corn to ozone. The goal of the project is to cross the most ozone tolerant variation of corn with the least to create a tolerant strain that will increase yields for farmers. Based on existing research from the project Soy FACE, Ainsworth expects to see a lot of genetic variation among the plants exposed to the ozone pollution.

hree University professors received a $5.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation on Jan. 1 to research the effects of ground-level ozone on corn. Lisa Ainsworth, associate professor in integrative biology and principal investigator on the grant, said the goal of this five-year project is to develop an ozonetolerant variety of corn. Ainsworth said ozone, a pollutant, enters a plant through small pores in its leaves and damages it in multiple ways. “Ozone concentrations in the atmosphere have more than doubled since preindustrial times,” Ainsworth said.

Ernest Green delivers his keynote speech at Champaign County’s 12th annual celebration honoring Martin Luther King Jr. held at the Hilton Garden Inn on Friday.
“Ozone concentrations in the atmosphere have more than doubled since preindustrial times.”
“This is a relatively new pollutant that plants are facing, and it’s something that is decreasing yields.” Ainsworth will be working with two other professors — Andrew Leakey, assistant professor in plant biology, and Patrick Brown, assistant professor in crop sciences. Brown, geneticist for the project, said they will look for differences in the phenotypes, or physical characteristics, of the ozone-treated and untreated corn. “We’re going to calculate values for every trait because we’re interested

The policy board for the project agreed to dedicate a portion of its revenue to a fund that would “be dedicated to overcoming the digital divide,” according to the board’s resolution. The board plans to allocate between 2 and 5 percent of the annual revenue to the fund. Community members must now decide how they want to use the money to meet that goal. Saturday morning’s meeting

FITZGERALD FROM PAGE 1A tin Luther King Jr. in Chicago on Friday. Quinn also announced the reappointments of trustees Timothy Koritz, a staff anesthesiologist at Rockford Memorial Hospital, and James Montgomery, a Chicago attorney. Koritz was appointed to the board in 2009 and Montgomery in 2007. They are both University of Illinois alumni and were appointed to six-year terms. Oliver, chief counsel for investigations at The Boeing Co., said he learned he would not be reappointed to the board when he received a phone call from the governor’s office Wednesday afternoon. Oliver was not given a specific reason, he said, although “there was reference to the fact that the board has to be balanced.” By state statute, the nine-member board must be politically balanced. No more than five members of each political party can serve on the board at one time. Oliver was appointed by Quinn in 2009 as a political independent, serving among the five Democrats and three Republicans. Oliver said it’s possible he was not reappointed because he voted in a 2010 Democratic primary. “It’s not something I agreed with,” he said. “To be quite hon-

The team members are part of the genomic ecology of global change set of laboratories at the Institute of Genomic Biology, led by Don Ort. The research in these laboratories focuses on how change in climate and other global factors will affect agricultural practices. “It’s known that there is natural genetic variability so that some cultivars (variations) of corn are more sensitive to this pollution,” Ort said. “But, it hasn’t been possible up until now to systematically transfer that resistance into the kinds of corn that farmers want to grow.” Ort said the problem with ozone was that it is a secondary pollutant, meaning it is formed by reactions from primary pollutants, and is short-lived, as ozone’s strength changes from day to day and from place to place. However, with the facilities at the University, the researchers can keep the ozone

est, I maintain to this day that I am still a politically independent person.” Contrary to his political independence, he said, he voted in the primary to support not the party but the candidate, David Hoffman, who was running for U.S. Senate. Oliver said he was disappointed by the news because he would have enjoyed working with the board for another term. However, he commended Fitzgerald on his appointment, saying he will be a great addition to the board. “With Patrick (Fitzgerald), the board is in good hands,” Oliver said. “It has been an honor serving my 3 1/2-year term. The board and the University are in great shape.” Although Oliver will no longer be a trustee, Quinn said Friday that his office has some very important assignments that he hopes Oliver will partake in, particularly dealing with integrity. Oliver previously sat on Quinn’s Illinois Reform Commission, which analyzes government procedure. “(Oliver) served ... very well on the board of trustees of the University of Illinois, and I really want him to continue in government,” Quinn said. “I hope he can stay with us in another area of service, and I look forward to working with him.”

Ainsworth and Leakey, physiologists for the project, have both worked on soyFACE, which stands for Soybean Free Air Concentration Enrichment. The research project, located on the South Farms, examines the genetic variations of soybeans once sprayed with concentrated levels of ozone. “What soybean seems to do is increase its antioxidant metabolism in response to ozone,” Ainsworth said. “That’s energetically quite expensive for plants, so then there’s a penalty on growth.” In the 80-acre field where soyFACE is located, 40 acres will be converted to a plot containing 200 variations of corn and the rest will remain for soybean research. There are eight total ozone plots on which the corn and soybeans will be tested. Ainsworth said the search for ozone-tolerant plants will begin this summer and will also double as a plant biology camp for junior high school girls. Ort said he was excited about the prospects of the project. “All three of these people are early career and are either assistant or associate professors,” Ort said. “This NSF genome program is incredibly competitive and so to get it is a real endorsement of these three faculty members.”

MLK Day celebrates progress, acknowledges need for change BY CANDICE NORWOOD ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
Years before President Barack Obama’s promises of hope and change for the U.S., professor Abdul Alkalimat had witnessed other historically significant events throughout the country. Alkalimat and the campus community will honor Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday to celebrate the progress of civil rights throughout the years while acknowledging that more change is needed. The professor of AfricanAmerican studies grew up in the Frances Cabrini housing project on the north side of Chicago during the 1940s. The Jim Crow legislation that legalized racial segregation continued to afflict the country; however, Alkalimat said his childhood experiences in Chicago were not plagued by the blatant brutality often associated with the time period. “There’s a difference in the black community between having a consciousness of freedom or a consciousness of oppression,” Alkalimat said. “And I happened to come from the kind of family that was on the freedom side.” Alkalimat’s family members were community organizers who promoted the importance of their heritage and graduates of prominent historically black colleges. He explained that with these strong influences, it was never about “if we couldn’t go,” but rather “if we go, we have to fight.”
This spirited mentality soon intensified after the murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy who was mutilated, shot and thrown into the Tallahatchie River in 1955 as punishment for allegedly flirting with a white woman. “They had a picture of Emmett Till on the cover of Jet Magazine. (It was) this grotesque image of a disfigured body,” he said. “There were memorial services held all around Chicago. ... It was really, psychologically and emotionally, a big thing.” Till’s death was a significant spark in the fight for civil rights across the country. During the 1960s, other historic events affected the black community. James Anderson, professor of education, was a graduate student at the University in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. was shot in Memphis, Tenn. On the day of the assassination, he and three other friends had loaded up a car to drive from the University campus to Nashville for spring break. Before heading out, Anderson said he realized he forgot something and returned to his fraternity house. It was inside the house that he learned that King had been shot. The news did not explain that King had in fact been murdered, so Anderson and his friends decided to continue with their journey to Tennessee. “We arrived in Nashville around 3 or 4 in the morning and very quickly we were surround by police cars,” Anderson
said. “There had been a couple of shootouts on the Tennessee State campus, and we didn’t know that while we were in transit Nashville had been burned, that city after city was going up in flames.” Upon his return to campus Anderson said heartbreak and disbelief over King’s death manifested in demonstrations and severe racial tension on campus. Today, 45 years after King’s assassination, much in the country has changed. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965 are two of the key initiatives that helped to ratify the American system. Even with these improvements, conversations concerning race and civil rights are not over. Scholars of African-American history stress the importance of celebrations such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month not only for the sake of remembering our country’s history but also for promoting the rights of all citizens. “Some would say the existing challenges relating to issues of race and discrimination continue to exist in different forms,” said Menah Pratt-Clarke, assistant provost of the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access. “There may not be a sign that says ‘No Blacks Here’ ... (but) I think it’s important to remember that it’s a shared journey and not just with African-Americans.” Pratt-Clarke went on to add that education is the key, both in terms of minorities gaining the knowledge they need to fight
injustices and in understanding the “intersecting identities” that each individual has. It is these identities that will help members of different genders, ethnicities or sexual orientations recognize their similarities and fight for freedom as a whole, rather than for one specific group. Alkalimat also agrees that it is important to distinguish between legislative discrimination and structural discrimination. Discrepancies in education are what fuel much of the inequality that exists in America today. According to a 2012 report by the Alliance for Excellent Education, for the class of 2008, 38 percent of blacks graduated from a four-year college within six years, compared with 38 percent for Native Americans, 46 percent for Hispanics, 59 percent for whites and 66 percent for Asians. It is this group of college-educated, middle-class minorities who are going to be unsatisfied with their unequal place in society and will begin to demand a change, Alkalimat said. “The question today is where is the self-organization going to come from. Or are people just going to roll over and die? I just don’t think people are going to just die,” he said. “There has never been a time when there were not efforts in the black community, but a lot of time it has taken different forms.”

Death toll rises at Algerian gas plant BY AOMAR OUALI AND PAUL SCHEMM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALGIERS, Algeria — The death toll from the terrorist siege at a natural gas plant in the Sahara climbed to at least 81 on Sunday as Algerian forces searching the refinery for explosives found dozens more bodies, many so badly disfigured it was unclear whether they were hostages or militants, a security official said. Algerian special forces stormed the plant on Saturday
event, this year being “Having to overcome the mountain.” “It’s about honoring Martin Luther King and the speeches that he delivered,” said Marietta Turner, one of the committee chairs. “We take a theme from one of his speeches and bring together the community so that we can share in continuing his dream and moving forward and mention those in our communities who have honored Martin Luther King’s teachings.” The celebration also included an award ceremony in which community members and local programs were recognized for
their involvement and continuance of King’s teachings, Noble said. One of the programs that was honored was Nathaniel Banks’ music program. Banks runs a program for students who want to learn to play musical instruments but lack the access to instruction. “It’s one of those programs that falls into the same category of what Dr. King encouraged us to be,” Noble said. “More open and free to all citizens.”
Meeting attendees presented several ideas for how to spend the fund. Some suggested purchasing new computers for resident use and training residents to use computers. Artice James, president of the Champaign chapter of the National Council of AfricanAmerican Men, suggested using the funds to provide job training for the installation of fiber optic material to area homes. James said he hoped many of these jobs will employ minority residents. Alkalimat also commented
on the issue of creating permanent jobs for ChampaignUrbana residents. He said he could see potential for creating a group similar to Best Buy’s Geek Squad. “Everybody knows when you have a computer, you are going to have problems,” he said. “You don’t know everything.” UC2B policy board members plan to hold more community meetings, but they have not yet set a date for the next gathering.

President Obama sworn in for 2nd term BY DAVID ESPO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama was sworn in for four more years Sunday in a simple ceremony at the White House, embarking on a second-term quest to restore a still-shaky economy and combat terrorists overseas while swearing an age-old oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution. “I did it,” a smiling president said to his daughter Sasha seconds after following Chief Justice John Roberts in reciting the oath of office. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s other daughter, Malia, were among relatives who bore witness. The quiet moments were prelude to Monday’s public inaugural events when Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol before a crowd expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands and a television audience counted in the millions. The trappings were in place — the flag-draped stands ready outside the Capitol and the tables

New trustee Fitzgerald should serve as refresher, carve a new path for the University
RYAN WEBER Opinions Editor
F
ormer U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed to the University’s board of trustees on Friday, replacing outgoing Lawrence Oliver II, who had served on the board since 2009. Fitzgerald’s resume in public service includes prosecuting former Illinois Govs. George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich. Considering the amount of healing the University has had to endure in the past four years, the appointment could move our institution forward. Gov. Pat Quinn’s appointment of such a diverse legal background could help keep the political corruption of yesteryear at bay. This is the first academic year in several years without any major scandal by University administration. Chancellor Phyllis Wise has been in her position for over a year and President Robert Easter in his for more than six months. The University is finally seeing stability and even some progress. Fitzgerald’s appointment, similarly welcomed as Wise and Easter were, fits right in with that narrative. The entire University system will be eager to see what his presence will bring to the board. Fitzgerald’s political independence factored into the appointment. By law, the nine-person board can have a maximum of five members of the same political party. The board’s current political alignments include five Democrats, three Republicans and one independent. While Oliver was appointed by Quinn as an independent in 2009 after the Category I fallout, he voted in a 2010 Democratic primary, supporting David Hoffman for U.S. Senate. While this has not been confirmed as the absolute reason for his not being reappointed, Oliver acknowledged the legal need for the political balance of the board. The notion is fair, though maybe sometimes irrelevant. If the board does its job, it should be able to ignore political alignments and do what’s best for the University, regardless of ideology. Therefore, we expect the board and its new addition to do as much as possible for the University’s financial situation in the coming months before the new fiscal year. As the board meets this week in Chicago, it should be thinking first and foremost about the people that make up the University — the students, faculty and staff. Students should be afforded the best possible education at the lowest possible cost. The new tuition numbers will be released at this week’s conference, along with new numbers for student fees and housing costs. Competitvely seeking new faculty should be in the forefront of the board members’ minds when putting together salary and pension numbers. Job security and benefits should be a consideration for the University’s countless staff, which make the infrastructure work. With Fitzgerald as a refresher, let the board of trustees go forward, carving a new path in the name of stability.

All races should celebrate MLK Day TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist
S
ome of the best days of the school year are the days when we’re not in school. Thanksgiving and winter break? I’m all over that. The summer is amazing as well, although it tends to drag if I’m home too long. But the best holidays are sometimes the short ones, the ones that give you an extended weekend, perfect for sleeping in, partying a little bit longer or catching up on TV sh — er, assignments. Since we’re not basking in the warm glow of the September sun, our Monday holiday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s special to many not only because it’s a break but because of what MLK did in his lifetime. And though I’m not above taking advantage of the extra day for my personal shenanigans, I think it’s important to reflect on the work of one our important historical figures. Except sometimes, for some reason, it’s hard for people to do that. Over the course of the years I’ve been asked by a couple of different people if I’m “especially super excited” for Martin Luther King Jr. Day or if it’s my favorite holiday “because ... you know.” The answers to those questions are simple: I’m moderately excited, and no. But it’s the reasoning behind the questions that bothers me. It
implies that they don’t think the day affects them because of their skin color or that it affects me more because of mine. These questions class MLK Day as a holiday that can only impact a certain subset of people. And although I’m no expert on Martin Luther King Jr.’s feelings, I can imagine that is not what he wanted. The idea behind Martin Luther King Jr. Day is to honor Martin Luther King Jr., who, yes, was African-American and worked with the civil rights movement. MLK Day is very much about the history of the movement and the struggles minorities faced in the past, and it’s an important part of our history. But although this is a big part of the focus of MLK Day, his legacy has done so much more for other civil rights movements. His work doesn’t just impact African-Americans. When Dr. King said he had a dream, he didn’t mean for it to be exclusionary. One of the most famous lines of his speech is that he believed “all men are created equal.” The ideas of Martin Luther King Jr. and MLK Day doesn’t just revolve around one specific set of people — everyone can adopt the true meaning of MLK Day as their own just because they aren’t a minority. MLK valued social justice and giving back to the community, among other causes. As part of the MLK Day celebration, there is the nationwide “Day of Service.” On Saturday, with some events throughout the weekend and Monday, all Americans are encouraged
to go out in the community and volunteer. This is the part of MLK Day that I love the most. Community service is something that affects everyone everywhere, especially on college campuses. It’s something that I don’t do enough of, but it is one thing that makes me feel like I’m making even a tiny impact in the world. I don’t distance myself from the work MLK did with the civil rights movement — and I personally take that to heart — but I love that his legacy is synonymous with volunteer work. Thus, I’m surprised when people assume the day means anything to me just because I’m African-American. This idea is one that goes beyond any color barrier, an idea that we can all get behind. If you’re like me and waited till the last minute, it’s not too late to sign up for volunteer work. If you’d like to volunteer, check out the Office of Volunteer Programs’ website. And if you haven’t signed up for a project, remember that MLK didn’t just take a day to introduce the world to his work. He used a lifetime. And, based on that, we can honor him by volunteering at any point in the year. We can get behind a historical figure, regardless of who we are, or who that historical figure is. It’s not about celebrating because you’re a certain race. It’s about celebrating because we can help out our community.

Obama should mirror MLK’s creativity JOHN BUYSSE Opinions columnist
M
artin Luther King Jr. has gone down in history as a transformational figure who paved a better path for not only African-Americans, but for all marginalized people in this country. One of his greatest strengths to achieve this was through his rhetoric. In fact, he was sort of like a living, breathing factory of iconic statements. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” The list could truly go on and on, but the main themes revolve around love, freedom and a brighter future. For this reason, it seems especially fitting that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also the same day of President Barack Obama’s inaugural address. It could be argued that Obama would not be serving a second term as president or have been able to enjoy so many other opportunities had Dr. King not fought tirelessly for the brighter future that we all enjoy and that many of us continue to fight for. President Obama is fully aware of Dr. King’s impact on his life and the path of this country. In
many ways, he has tried to emulate his fight for the greater good during his first term. While reading up on some of Dr. King’s most memorable statements, I found one he wrote in a letter from a Birmingham jail that is not nearly as famous as many others, but that should be the most important in guiding Obama’s second term. “We must use time creatively.” Although it is short, sweet and doesn’t have the same grandiose nature that both Dr. King and President Obama are known for using in speeches, it conveys the ideal marching orders for the president as he begins his final term in elected office. For many of us, four years can mean a college degree, medical school, a new job followed by promotions, all while meeting new friends or love interests. These achievements are pretty basic aspects of life, but are essential for making the most of the time given. For President Obama, the next four years could mean several challenges from a do-nothing, gridlocked term to a transformational era that sees major changes both in and out of Washington. Unfortunately, the former is more likely to occur as Congress remains sharply divided and almost unable to pass legislation on any hot-button issue (which now constitutes just about every issue), This is why the president must get creative. The first two years of his first term did not require much creativity in terms of how he could pass major legislation such as the Affordable Care Act or place two favorable judges into the Supreme Court. The last two years were more notable for being some of
the least productive in congressional history, and the public battles between the president and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill. During that time, President Obama had to tread softly to face any chance at re-election and to have a shot at getting anything done. Now, though, the president is fueled by an electoral mandate to, at the very least, push this country forward on the principles he campaigned on. Whether his congressional colleagues choose to join him in doing so is another story. Either way, the president must get creative. This might mean selecting a few key issues to fight to victory on while allowing for compromise on others. This might mean continuing to pass executive orders within the boundaries of the Constitution while establishing himself as a fearless commander-in-chief willing to do what is necessary to make life better for Americans. What this cannot mean, though, is a continuation of drawn-out battles and dramatic headlines splashed across every news site that only result in short-term “solutions” to our many issues. Obama must lead the rest of our government from acting as handymen, who fix little things here and there, to home builders, who build a stronger foundation for us to stand on. Dr. King creatively used his time on Earth to turn wrongs into rights and build a foundation for a better America that we still stand on today. President Obama has four more years to do the same.

someone would just listen to us, we would be OK. You try to find your voice, but try as you might, no one is listening. So you keep on searching. But it’s hard. You want to change the world with your altruistic ideas — if someone would just hear you out, you know you could get things moving. Unfortunately, you are only one blogger among millions, one Tweeter of over 200 million and one human of 7 billion others searching for a voice of their own. The simple truth is that, try as you might, you probably won’t be heard in the far reaches of Tokyo or Buenos Aires or Cairo or Paris. But people in those corners of the world try every day to speak up and be heard, hoping someone would just listen. Sometimes something horrific propels a voice to mainstage. The gun control debate is nearly ceaseless. The shooter at Newtown, Conn., who killed Charlotte, Mary, Daniel, Grace, Rachel, Olivia, Josephine, Ana, Dylan, Dawn, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Noah, Jesse, Caroline, James, Anne, Emilie, Victoria, Jessica, Avielle, Jack, Lauren, Benjamin and Allison, gave not himself a voice but gave a nation a chance to reexamine gun control laws in the United States. Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by Taliban forces because she spoke out for basic social justice, proved that no matter how young you are or where you’re from, you can be heard. It would seem, then, that you must be a martyr, but it’s quite the contrary. In the arts, Kathryn Bigelow, the Academy Award winning director of “The Hurt Locker” and director of “Zero Dark Thirty,” is one of barely 10 percent of women who have directed a top-250 grossing movie. Her work stands as a testament that despite past (and undoubtedly present) prejudices, you can create and distribute something that needs to be said. This past summer, the country went up in arms against anti-gay statements from head honchos at Chick-filA. Activists voiced their opinion about the statements, and each statement was met with opposition, reaffirming that they were heard. Because if anything signals that you were heard, it’s a dissenting opinion. Then there are those who unintentionally rocketed to Internet fame, like the Reverend Phil Snider of Missouri who delivered a beautifully crafted and effective speech to express his distaste for anti-gay legislation in his city. (It is a speech that resonates all the more true on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.) Or there’s the Wisconsin news anchor Jennifer Livingston who’d had enough of the bullying in this country and told a viewer of the live newscast that he had no right to make fun of her obesity. On campus, we have the ongoing debate, where Chief supporters tirelessly advocate for their mascot. One camp wants Illiniwek back because he was the figure that bound this University together. Another camp wants him to remain removed from this school’s culture because they believe racism was the only viable message that could be derived from the mascot. Others are on the search for a new symbol to represent this school. The debate, although making national news in 2007, is a conversation that generally ensnares only those in this community. And there are those whose names will never be known who speak out for causes they believe in with every fiber of themselves. We will never hear them all. And, really, we don’t always have to. By simply making your voice heard to at least one person — letting just one other person — consider your words for even half a second, you’ve found your voice. Have you immediately affected the world’s course? Stopped the next genocide? Prevented the next war? No, you probably haven’t, but you may have spread an idea. Often, the most powerful voices started somewhere hidden from most of the public eye, and they spread, gaining momentum along the way. Those who we now hold up as the epitome of the fight for social justice and equality — Yousafzai, Snider, Livingston and countless others — sought to be heard in their immediate area, but their message caught fire on a national and international scale. You can’t anticipate when you will be heard, if ever you will, but that doesn’t mean you should be silent. If you aren’t talking about what you believe in, then it could die away. And you can guarantee then, you’ll never be heard.

Netanyahu talks Iran ahead of national elections

ACROSS
BY AMY TEIBEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Two days before national elections, Israel’s prime minister on Sunday shrugged off international criticism of Israeli settlement construction, charging instead that Iran’s suspect nuclear program the real threat to regional security. Speaking to his Cabinet, Benjamin Netanyahu said he had told a group of visiting U.S. senators over the weekend that “the problem is not building ... The problem in the Middle East is Iran’s attempt to build nuclear weapons ... This was, and remains, the main mission facing not only myself and Israel, but the entire world.” Israel, the U.S. and much of the international community believe Iran may decide to produce nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies. Netanyahu, who has repeatedly spoken of the Iranian nuclear program throughout his four yearterm and long before, has claimed credit for helping put the issue on the international agenda. The international community has slapped economic sanctions on Iran, also urging Tehran to open its program to \ inspectors. While the sanctions have hit Iran hard, its government has refused to cooperate with inspectors or halt enrichment of uranium.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Sunday. Netanyahu chaired the last meeting of his government, two days before elections expected to grant him another term. Netanyahu has welcomed the international pressure on Iran, but he has also repeatedly indicated Israeli might attack Iran, alone if necessary, if he concludes that
diplomacy has failed. The final polls ahead of the vote have all predicted Netanyahu’s hard-line bloc maintaining a solid lead over center-left opponents.

Boeing woes raise questions about FAA’s ability to regulate BY DAVID KOENIG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — After two separate and serious battery problems aboard Boeing 787s, it wasn’t U.S. authorities who acted first to ground the plane. It was Japanese airlines. The unfolding saga of Boeing’s highest-profile plane has raised new questions about federal oversight of aircraft makers and airlines. Some aviation experts question the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration to keep up with changes in the way planes are being made today — both the technological advances and the use of multiple suppliers from around the globe. Others question whether regu-
lators are too cozy with aircraft manufacturers. Even as they announced a broad review of the 787 earlier this month, top U.S. transportation regulators stood sideby-side with a Boeing executive and declared the plane safe — saying that they would gladly fly in one. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood repeated his endorsement Wednesday. A few hours later, the FAA issued an emergency order grounding the planes. Despite their concerns, many safety experts still believe that the current regulatory process works — the 787s were grounded before any accidents occurred.
The Dreamliner is the first airliner whose structure is made mostly from composite materials rather than aluminum. The plane relies more than previous airliners on electrical systems rather than hydraulic or mechanical ones, and it’s the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium-ion batteries to power cabin-pressurization and other key functions. Such technological advances may force the FAA to re-examine the way it does its job. “We’ve gone from aviation to aerospace products that are much more complex,” said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with the Teal Group. “The FAA is equipped for aviation. Aerospace is another matter.”

French military, Mali coming close to recapturing central town from al-Qaida BY BABA AHMED AND KRISTA LARSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAMAKO, Mali — Backed by French air strikes, Malian forces appeared close to recapturing a key central town in Mali where bands of al-Qaida-linked fighters had holed up, France’s defense minister said Sunday. The French military has spent the last nine days helping the West African nation of Mali quash a jihadist rebellion in its vast northern desert. The comments Sunday from Jean-Yves Le Drian, however, appeared to cast some doubt on local military claims that the town of Diabaly had already been recaptured from the Islamists. The town of 35,000, which hosts an important military camp, was taken over by al-Qaida-linked militants last week. “Right now, the town of Diabaly is not retaken,” Le Drian told France-5 TV. “(But) everything leads us to believe Diabaly is going to head in the positive direction in the coming hours.”
The French military said its fighter planes and helicopter gunships had carried out a dozen operations in the previous 24 hours — half of them to strike “terrorist vehicles.” The report came late Sunday in a statement on the military’s Web site. Previously, Mali’s military had claimed the government was back in control of Diabaly — a potential breakthrough in the French-led campaign to oust extremists there. The contrasting accounts were emblematic of the confusion in the embattled West African country, where French forces opened an air campaign on Jan. 11 and have been building up troop levels to help restore government control in central and northeast Mali. The zone around Diabaly remains blocked off by a military cordon and it is not possible to independently verify the information. Video obtained by The Associated Press from Diabaly on Saturday showed burned-out vehi-
cles, scattered bullets and several armored vehicles belonging to the Malian army lying abandoned and damaged along roadsides. Displaced residents and Malian officials described how Islamists fled the town on foot after days of French airstrikes that destroyed their vehicles. For government supporters, the incursion signaled an alarming drive by the jihadists into central Mali — and closer to the capital of Bamako — from the base they have established in the country’s vast northeast. The Islamists captured the Texas-sized northeastern expanse nine months ago, exploiting a power vacuum after a military coup in the distant capital. Also Sunday, French forces extended their deployment northward from the central town of Markala, reinforcing their presence in the towns of Niono and Mopti, said Col. Thierry Burkhard, a French military spokesman.

Advisers will offer tips, encouragement at study abroad fair BY ADLAI STEVENSON STAFF WRITER
The Study Abroad Office sends more than 27 percent of the University’s students around the world each year to expand educational experiences. It hopes to attract more individuals to their wide options of programs at the study abroad fair held Tuesday in Room C and the South Lounge inside the Illini Union. Starting at 11 a.m., students can interact with peer advisers to learn about the educational opportunities available and most efficient ways for them to apply. Study abroad programs may offer enough persuasion just from the peer advisers’ unique stories. The advisers are insightful and willing to answer any question and describe their personal study abroad experiences in great detail. “I was able to bungee jump off of the second highest platform in the Southern Hemisphere,” said D.J. Callender, senior in AHS, who studied abroad at Lincoln University in Queenstown,
New Zealand, during the spring there for a semester of her junior semester of his junior year. year. She said ecotourism was “Queenstown is known as the popular in forest areas throughmecca for outdoor pursuits, and out Ecuador. the list of things to do there is “They have a rain forest in endless — bike trails, jet boating, their backyard, and their econwhite water raftomy depends on ing, scenic helithe oil that they copter tours to export from the view the glaciers forests,” McGov... all incredible ern said. “Ecuachances.” dor is the only Fun as these cou ntr y that activities can be, gives constituStudy Abroad tional rights to offers students Mother Nature, and it was intermore than just esting to see tourist trips. elite business The programs types cooperare academic ate with indigeand immersionD.J.

able areas to follow their passions and interests. “Being a recreation, sport and tourism major, Queensland was a great place to be for the specific courses I was able to take and the outdoor activities intrinsic to the area,” Callender said. He also mentioned that students can take on an outsider’s perspective as foreigners. “Generally, back at Illinois, you’re an American student participating with just about all American students learning about things in America. In New Zealand, I took courses through a different lens with new information,” he said. “Before New Zealand, I never had that different, particular sense of perspective in class.” Learning experiences also exist beyond the walls of the University while studying abroad. McGovern lived with a host family during her four months in Quito who did not speak English, and communicating with them provided a sharp learning curve. McGovern said learning a native language is not best done in a classroom.
“You do that by actually interacting with people and putting it to useful practice,” she said. Eye-openers were plenty for the two advisers while abroad, and not without noticing prejudices of their own. They now have friends around the world they regularly talk to. They were forthright about the benefits studying abroad can offer the future careers of students. “I think it can only help your chances no matter what your future endeavors are,” Callender said. “If I go to a potential employer and include my experience in New Zealand, there’s not only a good chance I’m the only candidate who’s done that, but it’s also unique in the sense that I can then pay forward my experiences.” Life after college remains uncertain for both Callender and McGovern. However, along with other students who have gone abroad, their travels have helped them develop a sense of ease and confidence. “It’s not so much as cementing the future as having a posi-
tive outlook to what’s ahead,” said Ruchi Tekriwal, junior in LAS, who went to Morocco last fall. “I’m very glad that time away gave me a new perspective.” Tekriwal and McGovern said they originally planned to go into academia right after finishing their undergraduate years at the University but now want to explore other options before graduate school. All peer advisers recommend that students who want to travel during their college years should start planning with the Study Abroad Office as soon as possible so operations can run smoothly. Even with extensive research and preparations, they say it is crucial for students to enter their travels with no expectations. “My word of advice is to just dive in,” McGovern said. “Stay open-minded and do as much as you can with the most freedom you’ll probably ever have. There won’t be anything else in your life like it.”

Despite prior win, Illini fall to Wildcats Bollant: Lack of discipline on court contributed to loss BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Karisma Penn (00) reaches for the loose ball during the Illinois’ loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Despite beating the Wildcats 65-47 earlier this season, the Illini fell 62-58.
Eleven days can make quite a difference. On Jan. 10, the Illinois women’s basketball team defeated Northwestern with ease 65-47, but the Illini couldn’t repeat their performance Sunday, falling to the Wildcats 62-58. “It was a very disappointing loss. I’m frustrated with our team,” Illinois head coach Matt Bollant said. “To come out here and have 2,500 fans come out and support us. With the way we played at Nebraska, to have a lack of energy and a lack of excitement to play in the first half was shocking and there was no excuse for it.” Bollant cited a lack of discipline on both ends of the court as reasons for Illinois’ loss. Illinois’ offensive struggles defined the first half, and the Illini trailed 25-20 at halftime. The Illini outrebounded Northwestern 20-16 and committed 11 turnovers to the Wildcats’ 12, but a 7-for29 performance from the field, including going 1-for-8 on 3-pointers, led to the deficit. Illinois also committed nine fouls to Northwestern’s four. Illinois suffered from foul trouble all day. Seniors Karisma Penn and Adrienne GodBold both fouled out, along with sophomore point guard Alexis Smith. The Illini were forced to play the final
two minutes without their three starters. “For four or five minutes, (GodBold) was the one scoring and making plays,” Bollant said. “It would have been nice to keep her on the floor and continue to make plays in the last couple minutes.” GodBold led the Illini with 21 points and nine rebounds. She has now fouled out in six of her seven games. “We need to find a way to keep her on the floor more — her fouling out really hurt us,” Bollant said. Illinois opened the second half on a 14-6 run and took its first lead with 15:03 left. The teams exchanged the lead six times and tied eight times. Northwestern head coach Joe McKeown was given a technical foul with 8:54 left. Amber Moore converted both free throws, and GodBold converted two on the following possession. Two Penn free throws on the next possession gave Illinois a six-point lead, its largest of the game, with 8:07 remaining. Illinois led 54-50 when Penn fouled out with 5:25 left but was unable to hang on. The Illini were up 58-56 when GodBold fouled out with 2:00 remaining. Illinois didn’t score after GodBold fouled out, and Northwestern finished on a 6-0 run. Northwestern was the first team
Players to hold meeting after disappointing loss Illinois women’s basketball players have decided to call a players-only meeting after Sunday’s loss to Northwestern. Head coach Matt Bollant said he was shocked by the team’s lack of desire to play and low energy level that led to the loss. “We just weren’t focused,” senior Adrienne GodBold said. “We came in thinking Northwestern would just lay down. We didn’t have the energy we were supposed to have at jump ball. “We’re going to figure some things out, and make sure we have energy in practice.” Illinois has an eight-day break before playing Minnesota on Jan. 28.
“Defensively, they don’t let you run your offense, you got to make plays, so I thought we did a better job with that tonight.” JOE MCKEOWN, Northwestern’s head coach

Illinois hockey sweeps No. 13 Iowa State in Big Pond BY PATRICK KELLEY STAFF WRITER
After three periods of play, overtime, and a tied shootout, Illini head coach Nick Fabbrini looked past his top-10 goal scorers and tapped forward John Scully to take the last shot in Friday night’s shootout against No. 13 Iowa State. Scully skated toward center ice, gaining control of the puck as he maneuvered down the right side of the Big Pond. Approaching the net, Scully faked to the goalie’s right side, drawing his opponent in the direction of the deke before
finally slipping the puck past the goaltender’s off-balanced left side. “There are a couple moves that I like to pull when I’m coming down the right side,” Scully said. “You got your forehand, you can go left side five-hole, you can bring it back on the back hand like I was able to do there. ... The goalie bit on that first shot fake and I was able to kind of slide it back behind him.” With that final penalty shot, the Illini sealed a 3-2 victory Friday and set the tone for the rest of the weekend. The Illini’s
ability to win with depth led to a 5-0 shellacking of the Cyclones in Saturday’s finale. The seven Illinois goals scored in regulation on the weekend came from six different players, three of which — Jacob Matysiak, John Scully and Ben Burbridge — are outside the top five goal scorers on the roster. Burbridge’s goal in the second period of Saturday’s game was the first of his career. “It was a good example of everyone contributing,” Fabbrini said following the Illini’s 5-0 Saturday night victory. “Whether you’re playing 25 minutes a
game or five or six minutes a game. We had everyone in the lineup contributing, staying positive on the bench ... that’s all stuff that goes a long way. When you’re in tight games at league and nationals, that positivity ... will keep you in games.” Also keeping the Illini in the game was the timing of the goals. Four of the Illini’s seven regulation goals came either within the first four or last four minutes of the given period. “Fabbrini has been talking about what he calls momentum goals, and those are goals you get in the first minutes of the

yler Griffey slowly walked off the court with his head down, orange jersey already off, wearing only his sweatdrenched orange cutoff. Just when it couldn’t seem to get any worse for Griffey and his Illini teammates, it did. If the crushing blowout defeat at Wisconsin two Saturdays ago signaled the derailing of the Illinois bandwagon, last Thursday’s loss at home to Northwestern was a flaming crash and burn. The 68-54 loss was maybe the most demoralizing of Griffey’s Illini career, quite an accomplishment for a senior class that has made a habit out of submarining high hopes. For the second straight outing, Illinois was never in the game, Northwestern quickly building a double-digit lead that the Illini only cut below 10 momentarily late in the second half. The Wildcats got whatever shot they wanted on offense, repeatedly gouging Illinois for drives, backdoor cuts and threes. The once solid Illini defense had more holes than a Michael Bay movie. The offense was, if possible, worse, creating very few open looks against
period and the last minutes of the period,” Scully said after Friday’s win. “It kind of went against us at Lindenwood (when Illinois lost 7-4 last Friday) ... it does play a factor and for us to get ahead tonight it was definitely a big plus.” While the No. 9 Illini spread the puck around on offense, their defense was equally impressive. Goaltender Nick Clarke allowed only two regulation goals during Friday’s game and shut out the Cyclones on Saturday, chalking up his third shutout of the year. Assisting Clarke was a rejuvenated defense that was per-
fect on the penalty kill for the weekend. “I think that everyone is finally buying into our system of blocking shots and putting in 100 percent effort into every shift,” Burbridge said. “Last Saturday we played Lindenwood ... we had everyone selling out, everyone going as hard as they possibly could just playing like it was their last game and we carried that momentum through here and it’s been working.”

Men’s gymnastics ties for 2nd at Windy City Invite BY GINA MUELLER STAFF WRITER
JOSEPH LEE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Tyler Griffey (42) goes for a layup during the Illini’s loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall on Thursday. Illinois is now 1-4 in the Big Ten and might finish the season at 2-9. a Northwestern defense that entered the game allowing more points per game in conference play than any team in the Big Ten. Where is the execution and poise the Illini displayed during impressive nonconference victories? Where is the confidence and loose play? The toughness and togetherness? The preparation, focus and passion? After watching Illinois’ play sputter to a grinding halt in recent weeks, it was surreal to watch No. 13 Butler and No. 8 Gonzaga face off in Saturday night’s marquee matchup. It feels like years ago that we watched the Illini control Butler in winning the Maui Invitational before marching into Spokane, Wash., and knocking off the Zags. We are no longer watching that same Illinois team. It’s as if the Illini players have had their abilities sucked away, Monstar style, and only look like the same players from two
months ago. In the news conference following the Northwestern loss, John Groce was as subdued as I’ve ever seen him. His head often resting on his left hand, Groce spoke in softer tones, the intense stare that we’re so accustomed to now peppered with uncertainty. The first-year head coach said the Illini simply must play better, giving few specifics on how they would do that. He didn’t anticipate doing anything drastically different to prepare for Nebraska on Tuesday. “We’re not gonna jump off a cliff or anything like that,” Groce said, adding that in the practices leading up to Northwestern his squad’s offense looked as good as it has all season. But the Illini are on a different sort of cliff now after yet another eyebrow-raising loss has raised the “fraud-alert” to Threat Level Five. They now stand 14-5 and 1-4 in the Big Ten. In a different year, that

wouldn’t be cause for much concern, but the conference is absolutely stacked and leaves little room for error this season. Illinois will travel to Nebraska on Tuesday in a game it must win given that the schedule after the Cornhuskers looks like this: No. 5 Michigan, at No. 18 Michigan State, Wisconsin, No. 2 Indiana, at No. 9 Minnesota. The Illini will almost surely not be favored in any of those games. There is a very real possibility they could finish that stretch 2-9 in the Big Ten (hell, given how they’ve been playing recently, there’s no reason to think they will beat Nebraska either). Illinois would have to finish with seven straight wins to get to .500 in the conference, usually the benchmark of teams that find themselves on the right side of the NCAA tournament bubble. This season, an 8-10 Big Ten record might do it, especially considering the strength of Illinois’ nonconference resume. But what once seemed like a lock is far from it.

After sophmore C.J. Maestas tore his right tricep during the preseason, the Illinois men’s gymnastic team’s search for a new leader began. Senior Yoshi Mori was expected to lead the team in Maestas’ place, in part because of his experience from the 2012 Visa Championships, but he also suffered a preseason injury — to his collarbone. After only being in the gym at full health for one week, Mori took third in the all-around and first on the pommel horse with a career-high score of 15.3 on Saturday at the Windy City Invitational. “Obviously the loss of C.J. hurts bad, but I think Yoshi understands that we need him in a big way,” senior Vince Smurro said. “He’s coming off of a big injury too, which is a nagging thing, and for him to step up like that is a great thing. I think everyone knows we really need him to step up if we want to be successful.” Illinois tied for second with Ohio State, scoring a 427.750, falling just behind Michigan, which earned a 431.300. Minnesota placed fourth (425.750), followed by Iowa (422.350) and Illinois (Chicago) (401.600). Many Illini made their debut appearance this season after coming back from injuries suffered during the preseason. After only practicing his routine on the floor exercise for four days, Smurro competed on the three events at the Windy City Invitational. “Vince has been looking good at practice,” Illinois head
coach Justin Spring said. “The power was there, it’s just the endurance at the end of the set wasn’t, but we know that he is a competitor and did very well for us all last year. Sometimes you just have to look at potential.” The new six-up, five-count format is causing major changes in lineups, and Illinois is still struggling to adapt. There is now only one score that will not be counted in the team’s total for each event, as opposed to two scores not counted in years past. This puts more pressure on individual gymnasts than in past seasons. “We’ve got to look at consistency a little bit more and that has a little bit more weight behind it this year because of the added score that we are counting,” Spring said. “Especially when we are going to the five-up, five-count in March, that’s going to be the most concerning factor when choosing lineups.” The intensity of the season rose this weekend after the Illini competed alongside some of their Big Ten rivals. It was the first invitational the freshmen competed in and the energy from the crowd was high. Illinois got a taste of what both the atmosphere and the competition will be like later on this season. “The Windy City is a good meet because it’s basically a mini Big Ten (Championship), without Penn State,” Smurro said. “It was definitely interesting to see what other teams

Te’o pranksters teach journalists a lesson ELIOT SILL Sports columnist
T
hrough 2 ½ years of journalism school, I’ve been told a phrase that I’ve never really put much stake in: “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” I’ve also been taught to recreate scenes by asking detail-oriented questions: What was your reaction to hearing that? What color was the mug of coffee he sipped before he said that? What time of day was it? Was the room hot or cold? Sources are to be taken, for the most part, at face value. So if your mother says she loves you, isn’t that good enough authority? Well, thanks for clearing that question up for me, Manti Te’o. Now I totally get it. In my column last week, I tipped my proverbial hat to Deadspin as a sort of righteous third party in the world of sports news, similar to what Jon Stewart does to the news media with “The Daily Show.” Fewer than 48 hours later, Deadspin breaks its biggest story ever, uncovering Lennay Kekua as a hoax and reminding us that not only does the site analyze the news, it also takes what it can get on the reporting end of things. In this case, it got an overlooked nugget of pure gold. The drama that ensued took place on two fronts: the Manti Te’o’s actual life, emotional state and public reputation front; and the journalistic front. What makes Deadspin’s story so spectacular is that it was so easy, so in front of everyone’s nose, yet no one had the audacity to question the most basic of accepted truths about whether someone we’ve never interacted with actually exists. By finding the answer to this question, Deadspin embarrassed Sports Illustrated, The New York Times and the South Bend Tribune, all of which had quoted Te’o’s poetic waxings and settled for no near-contact with a cru-
cial source for what was one of the biggest college football stories this year. ESPN and the rest of the sports media bobbed their heads along the fairy tale’s epic course as the American public dug emotional roots into poor Manti Te’o’s story. All those who covered Te’o’s journey should feel duped, but should they be blamed for poor reporting? The public is pretty sympathetic in this particular instance — everyone was fooled. Pete Thamel, who wrote the cover story about Te’o for SI in October (and who used to write for The New York Times), posted a story detailing his conversations with Te’o about Lennay Kekua, and in an interview with Dan Patrick, Thamel recounted the red flags he came across but ended up ignoring. “I did look for an obituary, I did look for a death notice, I did look on Lexis-Nexis to see if she existed. I didn’t find anything in those,” Thamel said. “And in some sense, I communicated that while we were fact checking to my editors. There were small red flags.” In his fallout story, Thamel said he also called an assistant athletic director at Stanford, from where Kekua supposedly graduated, to find out what year she graduated in. There was no record of her, and the assistant athletic director commented how strange it was that he had never heard of a student dating Te’o. Thamel admitted this was “the most glaring sign” he overlooked. In the end, however, the word of mouth prevailed over the lack of a paper trail. “There was a whole level of detail there,” Thamel explained to Patrick. “You were able to write around it because you had a whole football team, university, community and country.” You also had pictures of Kekua surfacing through various media. CBS in particular used a picture for a television segment they did — once again cutting corners and assuming the pieces fit. In Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey’s famed story for Deadspin, they used these pictures, linked

Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o pauses during an interview with ESPN on Friday in Bradenton, Fla. Te’o’s dead girlfriend hoax is a lesson for sports journalists, says columnist Eliot Sill. The signs were in front of every major media outlet, but only Deadspin checked the facts. to Kekua’s Twitter account and hammered away at examining what was absolutely a loose end. They did related-images searches and found the Instagram account of a girl who had unknowingly become the face of tragedy for the Notre Dame football faithful. From here, Deadspin tracked down Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the nowknown perpetrator of the prank that fooled the nation. This extra step was the one the major media failed to take. The only reason Deadspin took it was because they have the spare time to couple with the cynical skepticism, unlike the major-market players that can’t chase leads that may go nowhere.
In a YouTube segment for ESPN’s “Around the Horn,” columnist Bill Plaschke made the point that, while you don’t just ponder a person’s existence, you do try and track down that person or sources close to them for your story. Most of these attempts were walled off by the facade of family privacy, in which case you should ask yourself why her boyfriend is bludgeoning that privacy by sensationalizing her. The problem was that while the math didn’t add up, no one had the time to figure out why. Regardless of what this hoax was to Manti Te’o, it was the perfect

For Tuiasosopo and his associates, it was just another one of the many unintended side effects of a joke that turned into something larger than life.

Women gymnasts fall to Michigan, see improvement
BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B to play Illinois twice this season, and it was able to do a better job of solving Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Buzz defense in its second try. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just made plays,â&#x20AC;? McKeown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you run your offense, so you got to make plays, so I thought we did a better job with that tonight.â&#x20AC;? One player who made plays for the Wildcats was senior forward Kendall Hackney, who finished with 21 points. Illinois couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep track of Hackney, and she found herself unguarded under the basket on multiple occasions. Northwestern point guard Karly Roser also improved, turning the ball over nine times after committing 15 turnovers in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first meeting. Overall, the Wildcats cut down on turnovers, finishing with 23, 11 fewer than in the Jan. 10 matchup. Illinois was coming off a 62-52 win at Nebraska on Thursday, one of its most impressive of the season, but with Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss, the Illini fell to 0-4 in games decided by fewer than four points. Illinois was celebrating the 40th anniversary of Title IX by honoring local women who have impacted the community, as well as former Illini athletes. Among those honored were Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing, 2003 Miss America Erika Harold, Paralympian Jean Driscoll and basketball great Ashley Berggren. The Illinois volleyball, soccer, softball and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics teams were also honored. The teams were available for autographs and pictures before the game. Illinois had a crowd of 2,495, the second-highest of the season, and the highestpaid attendance for a game since around 4,800 watched as Illinois hosted Marquette in the 2010 WNIT.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adrienne GodBold (24) rises for the layup during Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 62-58 loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall on Sunday. Starters GodBold, Karisma Penn and Alexis Smith fouled out during the game.
GYMNASTICS FROM PAGE 1B are working on and how they are coming along. UIC last week was kinda just a warm up, but the freshmen got to feel the intense energy Saturday and
itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the most fun meets of the year.â&#x20AC;? This is the second year in a row that Illinois has finished one place short of taking the Windy City Invitational title. The last time the Illini clinched the title was in 2011. Though the close finish brings disap-
pointment, Illinois wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it affect the outcome of future competitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really looking at any other teams,â&#x20AC;? Mori said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really focusing on why Michigan beat us. We are trying to do our own thing, like an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;all eyes on usâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; type of thing.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not very far behind and we know there are a lot of improvements that we need to make. This was a good wakeup call for us to find out what we did wrong and fix it.â&#x20AC;?
