Student dies in Brazil, another feared to be dead DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Richard Fu, a 20-year-old student in ACES, was reported missing June 21 after the ocean’s current pulled him away from the shore while swimming. Fu was swimming in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil, according to a letter written by College of ACES Dean Robert Hauser. One of the other students he was swimming with was able to swim back to shore, while the second was rescued by lifeguards, according to the letter. Fu has yet to be found. For the past five days, local authorities have widened the expanse of coastline in the search and rescue operation, but now the search is transitioning to a “recovery operation,� as dictated by protocol for any operation that exceeds five days. The disappearance of Fu on June 21 was followed by the unrelated death of another University student on June 22. Graduate student Ashley Walls died in Brazil from a disease contracted while conducting research in Florianopolis according to a letter from Dean of Education Mary Kalantzis. “(She had) the goal of addressing the persistent inequities communities of color experience in large urban areas, especially her beloved Chicago,� Kalantzis wrote in the letter. “Her loss is beyond measure.� According to the letter, Walls was a member of Delta Sigma Theta and the president of the Black Alumni group on campus. She was a “developing scholar� in her pursuit of a doctoral degree in socio-cultural foundations of education. “Both of these students were admired and respected by their peers and by the faculty and staff who knew them here at Illinois. Our collective thoughts are with their families and friends,� Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida said in a related release.

Search for University president advances BY TYLER DAVIS MANAGING EDITOR

The University of Illinois presidential search committee is currently in an information gathering phase, said committee co-chair Douglas Beck, physics professor on the Urbana campus at the committee’s town hall meeting in Beckman Auditorium on Wednesday. Beck said the search committee has divided all levels of the three campuses’ administrations down to and including deans among the committee’s 19 members. The members have begun discussions to learn about the current status of the system’s three campuses, where people would like to be in three to five years, what their opportunities and challenges are, to answer questions about the search and to elicit nominations for the next president. He said these discussions are ongoing while the committee continues to meet. Its next meeting, which has a public portion, will be held July 11 at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center in Urbana. At this meeting, the committee will hear from University President Robert Easter and Jim Applegate, executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Next, the committee will enter another phase of information gathering, Beck said, which involves talking to colleagues outside the University. These colleagues include “friends in the higher education community across the country,” sitting and retired chancellors and presidents as well as heads of national organizations such as the Association of American Universities. “We are asking for their advice, for their view of the higher education landscape at this point in time and of course for potential candidates, so that’s kind of a threefold mission as we talk with those folks,” Beck said. Relatively soon, he said, the committee will begin doing research on the committee’s about 60 candidates that have been nominated across the campuses so far. The committee also has another 60 or so candi-

dates who have been gathered from various lists of people in appropriate positions at other universities. “We’re going to start looking at that big list to see where there are … matches,” Beck said. “Of course we’re going to be continuing to add to that pool as we go along.” At some point, he said, the committee will reach out to these candidates and find out if they are interested. If they are interested, that’s when conversations will continue. “Those conversations are where all this information that we’re gathering at the moment really plays a very important role because the candidates — the more interested they are, the more serious they are, the more questions they’re going to have,” Beck said. “There’s going to be a dialogue between members of the committee and these folks.” Following these interviews with the semifinalists mid-semester, Beck said, a set of finalists will be recommended to the Board of Trustees later in the fall semester. Committee co-chair Pamela Strobel, trustee, emphasized the importance of leadership skills in the selection of the next president of the University of Illinois. “We do emphasize that we’re looking for a leadership style built on openness and the ability to inspire others by articulating a vision for the future,” Strobel said. “While we don’t have one set of qualifications that says the person has to … be this exact prototype that we’re looking for, we want it to be very open, especially in the beginning, to having people nominated who are great leaders, whether they are the traditional model of a University president or not.” She said the committee has published a white paper online that lays the foundation the committee has worked on to sum up the University and the qualities that the committee is looking for in the next president. Strobel expressed that committee would like the white paper to reach anyone who goes onto the committee website — whether it is someone already at the University

During the public comment section of the meeting, Stephen Kaufman, professor emeritus of medical cell and structural biology, voiced concern regarding the budgetary considerations of the University in relation to retirement packages. He said

those who will be retiring see little if any advocacy for them. “Getting immediate budgets to do things in the present and selling out people’s future I don’t think is a way an institution that wants to rely on integrity as part of its cornerstone should be functioning, and I hope the next person that you get to lead the institution shares that value,” Kaufman said. Strobel said there is currently real effort to create additional ways to fund retirement for old and new University of Illinois employees and Beck added that, while efforts might have been started sooner, this has been under consideration for quite some time.

Employee compensation lags behind peers BY TYLER DAVIS MANAGING EDITOR

The University’s Senate Executive Committee reviewed a report regarding the state of faculty compensation at its meeting last Monday, aiming to move forward with issues addressed in the report. The ad hoc compensation review committee, formed in January 2014 to review the overall quality and competitiveness of the campus’ compensation package, delivered its findings and recommendations to the SEC

in a final report in late May. Jeff Brown, chair of the ad hoc committee, said the committee concluded that on average across the entire campus, the University is about 3 percent below its peers in terms of employee compensation. Average salaries in some units, however, are more than 10 percent below the average salaries of their peers, according to the report. “Our overall recommendation regarding compensation is that we seek over the

next couple of years to close that gap, which would essentially mean roughly a 3 percent increase on top of increases that other schools will be having,” Brown said. He said this could be done by extending targeted programs, particularly outliers on the lower side. The report also encourages the creation of supplemental retirement plans to combat the effects of Senate Bill 1 on faculty pension plans. Even if implementation of the bill is delayed or overturned, the report reads,

contributions from faculty in the tier II system and self-managed plan will continue to lag behind peer institutions. The committee only analyzed the compensation of full-time tenure track faculty due to a lack of data from peer institutions. On other campuses, Brown said, these positions go by very different names and titles and this problem was not something the committee would have been able to address in

Undergraduate library undergoes renovations BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

The University’s Undergraduate Library is undergoing renovations, with the main item on the agenda being the installation of a new carpet. Work on the library started the day following graduation. The upper level of the library is currently the only level under construction, with the lower level remaining open for patrons. “Unfortunately, we can only do the upstairs right now,” said Lori Mestre, head of the Undergraduate Library. “The lower level also needs to be recarpeted, but we’re gonna wait a couple years, we have to get funding for that. It has been on the agenda, it’s just a matter of time and budgets.” A wood-colored linoleum floor will also be laid down in the entrance area of the upper level. The reason for the linoleum flooring is to give the area a more welcoming feel, and to incorporate some different colors and give the vicinity some warmth, Mestre said. “Another reason for the entrance to be linoleum is it’s easier to clean,” she added. “With the amount of traffic we get here at the UGL, we wanna be able to just quickly go and clean that area up and not have to worry about it.”

When the Media Commons was created in the library over a year ago, the carpet underneath the new equipment “was just horrible — it was just making it look like it was trashy,” Mestre said. This was one of the reasons it became apparent that the carpet in the library needed to be redone. “There are spills, there’s worn carpet,” she said. “When they go to clean the carpet, it actually tears it all up. They got to the point where they can’t really do that anymore.” Mestre and her coworkers took that into consideration when they chose what style of carpeting they would use. “We’ve gone with the tile carpet which is great, so that if something really horrible happens that they can’t clean, they can just take up the carpet tile and put another one down,” Mestre said. Eric Kurt is the Media Commons coordinator at the Undergraduate Library. With the Media Commons, he said the Undergraduate Library has been working to provide new services, methods of support and collaborative spaces to library patrons. “With the renovation we are going to add aesthetic improvements that will give the Undergraduate Library a new clean, professional look as well as offer improved spaces and signage,” Kurt said.

FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

The Undergraduate Library is being recarpeted with tile carpeting, which is easier to clean. With the renovations, there will be new reservable media-enhanced spaces, some with monitors to show content via laptops or mobile devices, as well as improved collaborative spaces. Kurt said all of these will work together to assist students in fully utilizing the spaces. The Undergraduate Library surveyed and interviewed students in the spring semester to ask what kinds of improvements they wished to see in the library. Mestre said one of the things students mentioned was that they wanted tables regrouped in a way that would help them study better and to take advantage of the light in the courtyard. “Some of the students have wanted to have the Undergraduate Library inspire them when they’re here,” Mestre said. “Right now, it’s kind of bland. So they wanted some quotes perhaps of some famous people from the campus or some images of other things happening on campus. We’re gong to be framing some nice images and motivational quotes to put on the columns around the library.” Along with these requested improvements, the upstairs columns have received a fresh coat of blue paint to add color to the room, and the walls are being repainted as well. New signage is also being added. The book shelves will be swapped out for more modern, “less brown” shelves. “Hopefully it’ll look more alive,” said graduate student Kenny Shih, who often studies at the Undergraduate Library. Mestre said student feedback from interviews and surveys is really helpful to understand what kinds of things the library should be doing. That information plays a major role in deciding what to improve during renovations.

“Now’s the time to do it when it’s vacant,” Mestre said. “You can just get a totally different feel.” Remodeling is scheduled to be done at the end of July, but work is two weeks ahead of schedule. Mestre said she doesn’t know if everything will be completely done by August 1 or not, but said the project should be completed by the beginning of classes in the fall.

Area Muslims, students observe Ramadan BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Long summer days mean more hours of sunlight, but for practicing Muslims across the world, it also means waiting longer to break their fasts during the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan, based on the lunar calendar, made its annual return this year starting June 28. For 30 days, Muslims will fast from sunrise to sunset, eating and drinking only after dark. Because Ramadan follows the lunar calendar, the day on which it falls according to the Gregorian calendar shifts about ten days every year. So while twelve years ago, Ramadan took place in the winter, it now falls in the summertime. “But at the same time, it reminds me that it’s not meant to be easy,” said Hajira Ahmed, sophmore in LAS. “It’s a matter of doing what God tells us to do. We do something that’s really hard for an entire month. Ramadan is about coming together as a community and reminding ourselves about that.” Hanan Jaber, junior in LAS, said the longer days can actually serve as a benefit rather than a hurdle. “It’s definitely not a short time, but those things are trivial,” Jaber said. “I don’t think it matters so much whether it’s summer or winter. Yeah, in the summer it means the

days are longer, but it’s more time to gain the rewards of fasting.” The Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic Center in Urbana holds nightly Taraweeh prayers, which are special prayers that take place each day of Ramadan after followers break their fasts. The attendance is representative of the diversity present within Islam as well as within the local community. “You see the unity of Islam — we’re all praying side by side, it honestly doesn’t matter where you come from,” Jaber said. “There is tolerance amongst cultures, which is something beautiful.” Shazia Siddiqi, a senior in AHS, said what she loves most about Ramadan is the sense of brotherhood and sisterhood that comes with it, and the unity for a common goal. “It’s a really good boost for me,” Siddiqi said. “It helps me get through the day to know there are 2 billion people fasting alongside me.” The mosque also hosts nightly dinners prepared by community members. Often a group of people from one nationality will come together to cook for that night, with a different country’s food being served each day throughout the month. The gatherings for meals and prayers also serve as a way for followers to connect and visit with one another and share their experiences.

Men pray at the Central Illinois Mosque & Islamic Center in preparation for Ramadan, which began on the 28th of June. “It’s a really great feeling because the July 27. whole community comes together — you can “It’s this thing that I look forward to every really see that,” Ahmed said. “It’s nice to see year, as I think a lot of people do,” Jaber said. so many people who understand how I feel Abrar can be reached at aalheet2@dailyillini. and I understand how they feel.” The month of Ramadan will continue until com.

10 places to go to make summer exciting BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Living on campus in the summer is definitely an entirely different experience than living on campus during the school year. You can walk to class without having to dodge bike riders left and right, bars and restaurants are a lot less crowded and it feels like everyone is always looking for something to do. Although campus seems quieter now, it doesn’t mean you have to sit at home alone in your apartment and be bored for the remaining eight weeks of summer. There are still many things you and your friends can do on and off campus in Champaign-Urbana to fill your time and have some fun. Here are ten places in the area that may make your summer a little more exciting:

1. The ARC Pool This one may seem too obvious, but the ARC pool is really a great place to go and relax for a few hours after a long day of class or work. The ARC has plenty of beach chairs set up for ARC members to use for tanning, and the water is always a refreshing temperature to cool off in after a hard workout or a long walk over to the gym. The pool also offers pool floats for students to lay out on in the water, while soaking in the sun and listening to the Campus Recreation radio station. The ARC’s on campus location makes it easy for students with or without a car to get to, making it the perfect place to hang out on a hot summer day.

2. The Illini Union The Illini Union has a lot to offer to students. The Courtyard Cafe will be screening games of the World Cup every day, giving students a place to go watch the game with friends in a cool and relaxed environment. The Union also provides University students with various kinds of games, where you can go and hang out with friends and play arcade games, Xbox, Wii, billiards or bowling. Afterwards you can all go grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants in the Food Court, or get a delicious smoothie from Jamba Juice.

some balls at the driving range (70 balls for only $7), or play a game of golf through the center’s three state-of-the-art indoor golf simulators. According to their website, you can play alone or with a group of friends and customize your round by playing any one of 69 world-class golf courses in sun, rain, wind and adjustable course conditions. Renting golf clubs from Just Fore Fun is also free, making it a cheap and fun place to go.

5. Outside at Research Park

If you and your friends think you know it all, at least three different venues in Champaign-Urbana host Trivia Nights. Mike ‘N’ Molly’s, located at 105 N. Market St., Champaign, hosts trivia nights on Wednesday nights from 8 to 10 p.m. for free. Pizza M, located at 208 W. Main St., Urbana, also offers a free trivia night on Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. However, on Monday nights, the Blind Pig, located at 120 N. Walnut St., Champaign, hosts a $5 trivia night starting at 8:30 p.m.

Held at 1816 S. Oak St., Champaign, Outside at Research Park is a partnership between the Research Park, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and Fox/Atkins Development, LLC that presents a series of summer concerts in a “welcoming, eco-friendly public venue featuring tempting food and beverage options,” according to their website. Outside at Research Park has hosted artists such as Grammy winner Terrance Simien and Davina and the Vagabonds. Outside will again host Terrance Simien as the main act July 18 at 6 p.m. with opening act Candy Foster and Shades of Blue. Outside at Research Park is a perfect place to sit back and relax with friends while listening to different genres of live music.

Sustainability will be key for next University president

A

good leader is multifaceted and inventive, understanding that true strength comes from those around him or her. While the University of Illinois searches the nation for a new president, it remains more important than ever to consider the qualities best suited for such a position. Without constituency, a presidency is nothing, which is why the University of Illinois’ next president should turn a strong eye toward aiding and fortifying his or her constituency — faculty and staff. To remain a preeminent public research university, the University must be able to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff. Without a competitive salary and benefits package, this ability is at risk. The salaries of full-time tenure track faculty on the Urbana campus are on average 2.8 percent below those of faculty in self-identified peer departments at other institutions, according to the final report from the ad hoc compensation review committee, charged in January to review the campus’ compensation packages. Similarly, average salaries in some units are more than 10 percent

below average salaries of their peers. The committee recommended that the provost continue to implement an aggressive salary program to eliminate the 2.8 percent gap, focusing on those units with the most significant salary gap. This would require a salary pool over and above annual salary increases by peer institutions. Offering an inferior compensation package, it is unlikely that the University of Illinois would be able to secure the best faculty while competing against its peer institutions. Following the implementation of Senate Bill 1’s pension reform, the University of Illinois will lag behind all other Big Ten institutions — even if bill implementation is delayed or overturned. The compensation review report reads that contributions to the retirement plans of participants of the Tier II system and self-managed plans will continue to lag due to the underfunded nature of the State Universities Retirement System. The University of Illinois sees a contribution grand total lower than 15.6 percent for all three of its pension plans, while the average Big Ten total is reported to be 26.39 percent, according to a 2012 study by Buck Consultants.

At this point in time, the University system can no longer rely entirely on SURS. The ad hoc committee recommends that the University system should continue to aggressively pursue the creation of a supplemental retirement plan. On April 14, members of the Urbana-Champaign Senate passed a resolution recommending the Board of Trustees pursue just that. The University of Illinois’ next president should have creative vision to work around these financial obstacles, not to mention the ideas and experience to work around the state’s budgetary limitations. Urbana-Champaign is no stranger to economic development — one needs to look no further than the Research Park or the proposed College of Medicine. Economic development, in tandem with practices the University already has in place — donations, foundations, donors, you name it — will be key in years to come if the University hopes to keep stride with its peer institutions and remain a preeminent public research institution. Sustainability will be a recurring theme in the future while the University of Illinois makes its own way despite state budgetary limitations.

Preparing for the end of the college road NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

F

or all of the upcoming college seniors this year, welcome to your last official summer vacation. After we plow through our final semesters at college, the doors of life (which I imagine are, like, 50 feet tall and made of rugged iron — closely comparing to the Iron Throne from “Game of Thrones�) will swing open and we graduates will flow through those doors like water through a floodgate. As such, this is the time to be thinking about what’s next and to approach these next few summer months and the school year with some sense of direction. With senior year coming up, I am filled with terror, excitement and anxiety as I, and many others, near the end of the academic road we have known since the tender age of five. After we finish college, for many of us it

will be the first time where we haven’t had a clear and obvious next step. Up until now, it’s been a predictable transition — grammar school to junior high, junior high to high school, high school to college. Some of us will go through these hypothetical doors mightily and majestically, with six-figure jobs on the horizon and freshly pressed business-professional work attire, while others will stumble, trip and fall, or get swallowed up by the world that is on the other side of those doors. Starting with this summer and moving towards this next school year, we seniors should continue to dedicate ourselves to exploring our ambitions. With the various classes we took, clubs we joined and other activities we became involved in, we dipped

our toes into the water of what we were interested in and what we were good at — and now it’s time to dive in and take a swim. At this point, the only thing that is going to drive us forward through those intimidating, metaphorical doors is passion for whatever it may be in your respective field. Without some deepseeded motivation to delve further into the pursuance of a particular job or activity, I think it will become that much more challenging to stand confidently at the end of the road with that college degree. But if we take the time now to sharpen the tools in our toolbox and really hone in on our skillsets, we will set ourselves up for success in the intimidating reality of life after college. By no means do I expect to know exactly

With senior year coming up, I am filled with terror, excitement and anxiety as I, and many others, near the end of the academic road we have known since the tender age of five.

where I will be this time a year from now, and I think it’s silly for anyone to know for sure, but I have definite anticipations. And whether it be through a job or internship position this summer, or a club or other involvement during the school year, I advise all of us upcoming seniors to think seriously about what we want – what motivates us and will inspire us to move towards a particular future after college because, believe it or not, the end of this final stretch of road will be here before we know it. So while I hope my entrance through those big, iron doors between college and the ever-ambiguous “real world� involves me strolling through in slow motion as fireworks blast above me and the song “Eye of the Tiger� plays in the background, I’m sure I will trip and fall just the same. But I’m hoping with some valiant effort on my part during this upcoming year, I will go through fearless and confident, and I hope my fellow seniors will do the same.

Charlie Danielson strives for perfection BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

For Charlie Danielson, one of the best collegiate golfers in America, the game is not a game, at least not fun and games. Oh, there are moments of exhilaration — shooting a career-low score to finish as an honorable mention All-American at the NCAA Championships as a freshman. Most times, though, golf for the Illinois sophomore is just picking up the lunch box and going to work, a blue-collar slog — animated by blind determination, unrelenting perfectionism and obsessive attention to the tiny details that can eventually add up to excellence. Today is one of those days. Charlie only has two tasks to accomplish at golf practice this afternoon: hit seven of 10 drives onto the fairway and finish a five-hole chipping and putting course in nine shots or fewer. It’s 2:15 p.m. Technically, practice lasts until 4, but he has no time limit. If he accomplishes both of his goals assigned by coach Mike Small in five minutes, he can go home. But if it takes until midnight, Small says, then it takes until midnight. Ideally, Charlie would hit 15 shots, make each and go home. He knows that won’t happen. Charlie started golf at age 2. When most kids were learning to walk, the young blonde boy from Osceola, Wisc., was handed a set of tiny golf clubs and some Wiffle balls as a game – a game that would eventually come to define his identity, work ethic and ambition. He eventually learned that golf is part physical gifts, part mental and emotional concentration, and, at least for him, a huge part plain, old-fashioned hard work. “You’ve got to spend time practicing,� he says. Today, Charlie starts the driving part of practice first. At the Demirjian Indoor Golf Practice Facility, he hits out from a driving garage onto an open field, his wispy blonde hair blowing back in a good wind. At 6-foot5, Charlie is by far the tallest Illinois men’s golfer. His length allows him to hit the ball farther than his shorter teammates, but it also makes his swing more fickle and harder to recreate shot after shot. Charlie’s first drive goes wide left of the “fairway� – a stretch of field between two lines of trash barrels. On the next shot, Charlie overcorrects and goes wide right, toward the University’s cattle farm in the distance. Charlie knows he could easily hit seven balls on the fairway to get done with the drill if he took a little power off his swing, but he wouldn’t do that on a real golf

course, so he’s not going to do it in practice. He does the same routine every shot. “I tee up my ball,� Charlie said. “I visualize my shot. I see the shot I’m going to hit, where it’s going to end up, and then I hit it, and wherever it ends up, I try to get over it. If I hit a bad drive, I try to let it go. I go through my routine, visualize the shot. Imagine just where I want to miss it. Do I want to miss it right? Do I want to miss it left? Short? Long?� Finally, his third ball falls in the middle of the fairway. “Each shot is its own shot.� It takes Charlie about 30 swings to go seven-for-10 — more than he would like and more than his teammates, all of whom have finished driving ahead of him. Now he can join them on the short game practice course inside Demirjian. At the putting, chipping and pitching green, each player must chip and putt a ball into five different holes in nine or fewer strokes. Par is 10 strokes. Each player must make one chip shot. The weakest part of Charlie’s game is his short game — chipping and putting. Like other tall golfers, he is unable to control his arms as well as shorter players, and arms are all that are used in the short game. The difference between a make and a miss can be a fraction of an inch on the club. Charlie puts a different club at each hole — a 58 degree wedge, a 54 degree wedge, a 50-degree wedge, a pitching wedge and a sand wedge — because each shot varies in distance and lie. He starts off trying to chip the ball to a hole about 30 yards away. He misses but is able to recover and sink the putt. He moves to the second station — a little bit closer to its hole — but he doesn’t sink the chip. He misses the first putt and makes the second. He needs to sink chips on each of the next two holes to total 9 shots. He fails and starts the task over. When each player is ready to hit their last shot, they request a witness to prove they followed the rules. “Make,� teammate Jonathan Hauter calls out from the green. His teammates turn their attention toward him. He makes his putt it and picks up his clubs. Charlie goes around and around for 40 minutes. At 3:40, he still hasn’t made a chip shot, not even on his failed rounds. He hasn’t even been able to finish even-par. If Charlie could’ve taken a single stroke off each round at the NCAA championships last year, he would’ve been second in the country rather than 13th. If he could’ve taken a single stroke off just one of the rounds,

CHARLIE ball straight with his new grip. He is. By now, fellow sophomores Thomas Detry and David Kim have each called out “make” and made their last shots. As each of his teammates finishes, Charlie becomes a little more frustrated. On the golf course, he can make up for failings in his short game with his dominating long game. In the practice drill, he’s stuck. He angrily slaps the white curtains draping the wall with a club, leaving a black stain. A few minutes later, when Coach Small comes back from the driving range, he notices the mark and complains that the curtains were just cleaned. Everyone, including Small, seems to know Charlie did it, but he stays quiet. Finally, Charlie is at eight strokes and needs to sink a chip from 20 yards to finish. “Make,” he calls out. “Come on, Chuck!” a teammate hollers. “You got this!” says another. But he doesn’t. Hauter tells Charlie he better hurry up or they’ll be late for Jock Jams, the student-athlete talent show they are participating in at 7 tonight. Around and around Charlie goes again – he makes a chip shot in two different rounds but isn’t able to finish the other holes at par. At four o’clock, the team starts to head home and then to Huff Hall for their show. Hauter, walking over to collect his golf bag, tells Charlie he needs to leave by 4:30. Before he too leaves a few minutes later, he tells Charlie this five more times. Although Small told his team members each would stay until midnight if it took that long to finish, he is surprised when he comes in at 4:15 and Charlie is still chipping and putting away. Sometimes, a break will do you good, Small has told Charlie countless times. He believes Charlie can be too obsessive about his game. Charlie doesn’t agree. And in May, when Charlie will compete in this year’s Big Ten Championship in French Lick, Ind., his obsession with hard work will seem to pay off—he will close a four-stroke deficit in the last nine holes and tie for the Big Ten’s individual player championship. Yet, just one stroke better and the championship would’ve been his alone. At 4:25, Charlie finally makes a chip shot. He has three holes left. He finishes the next two at even-par. It all comes down to the final hole – he needs to hole out in two shots. Charlie squares up, looks at the hole, looks down at the ball, looks at the hole, looks down, looks at the hole, looks down. He brings his wedge club back – never taking his eyes off the ball – swings his club forward and hits the ball perfectly. It jumps up onto the green, rolling toward the hole. It goes in. He’s two-under. He’s done. Charlie doesn’t do a fist pump. He doesn’t even smile. No witness for Charlie. He did it alone, but he did it.

Illini basketball coach John Groce keeps an eye on 5 targets BY ALEX ROUX STAFF WRITER

The start of college basketball season is still about four months away. But for coaches, the recruiting season never stops. Especially during the summer. During summer, college basketball recruiting is in full swing, especially in the month of July. The break from class means high school players play in tournaments with their schools and AAU teams, giving coaches the chance to salivate from the sideline over their top targets. So, who are the Illini and head coach John Groce recruiting in the class of 2015? Guards Aaron Jordan and DJ Williams out of Chicago have already committed to the Illini, but Groce is aiming to bring more players into the mix for 2015. Below are five Illini targets to keep an eye on before the early signing period in mid-November.

1. Jalen Brunson — Stevenson (IL) High School Brunson is probably the best point guard in the country in the class of 2015, and he plays just a couple of hours away at Stevenson High. He’s a high-priority target for the Illini, who could use an elite point guard to fuel Groce’s style of offense. To get an idea of Brunson’s dominance, consider the fact that he scored 56 of his team’s 68 points in last season’s 4A state semifinal loss—as a junior. He listed the Illini in his final eight schools in May on Twitter. However, Temple recently hired Brunson’s dad Rick as an assistant coach, fueling speculation that Jalen might follow in his dad’s footsteps and commit to the Owls.

2. Elijah Thomas — Lancaster (TX) High School Thomas is ranked as the No. 1 player in Texas by ESPN.com, and the 6-foot-9 power forward is one of the top big men in the country. It’s certainly encouraging that Groce has been able to expand his recruiting reach far outside the Midwest, and he definitely has Thomas’ attention. Thomas has been seen wearing Illini gear and has listed Illinois in his top ten schools. He’ll likely be a McDonald’s All-American next winter and is rumored to be planning a visit to Illinois’ campus before deciding on a school.

3. Jawun Evans — Kimball (TX) High School Evans joins Thomas as an Illini target from Texas, and they’re teammates on the AAU circuit with Team Texas Elite. Evans is a fourstar prospect out of Dallas and is another point guard that could fit nicely in Groce’s fast-paced

If Evans were to commit to the Groce, he would inevitably draw comparisons to the last Illini point guard from Texas—Deron Williams.

4. Doral Moore — Luella (GA) High School Moore is another highly-ranked out-of-state big man that the Illini are pursuing. The fourstar power forward listed Illinois as one of his top five schools, and Derek Piper of 247sports. com reported that the Illini will likely fall in Moore’s top three. The Illini will have to compete with Ohio State, Florida, Kentucky and Wake Forest to land the highly-coveted Moore.

5. Carlton Bragg—Villa — Angela St. Joseph (OH) High School Bragg might be the best all-around player on this list, as the 6-foot-8 swingman has guard skills in a big man’s body. He’s ranked as the No. 8 player in the country overall by 247sports.com and has offers from nearly every college basketball powerhouse. Bragg recently indicated he would list his top six or seven schools in September, naming the Illini (alongside Kansas and Kentucky) as a lock to make the list. The Illini have to like their chances with Bragg, who cbssports.com quot-

ed as saying, “Coach Groce is my man.” Landing even one of these recruits to join current commits Jordan and Williams would give the Illini a stellar class. An elite recruit committing to Groce would re-establish Illinois on the national recruiting scene. Given

An elite recruit committing to Groce would re-establish Illinois on the national recruiting scene. Groce’s reputation as a tireless recruiter and his track record as an assistant at Ohio State, it may only be a matter of time before he lands five-star talent.

the time that it met. SEC Chair Roy Campbell suggested that the committee draft a plan for next year to work on implementing the work of the ad hoc committee. Chancellor Phyllis Wise updated the committee on plans to open a College of Medicine on the Urbana campus. Ideally, she said, the new college should be built around the strengths of the College of Engineering, granting greater access to healthcare at lower cost for more people. This relies on new devices, new materials, new robotics, new

imaging, big data — “areas that Engineering really concentrates on.” She added that it is very important for the Engineering-driven College of Medicine, which would be relatively small, on the Urbana campus to complement the Chicago campus’ College of Medicine so that it does not compete with them in any way. In line with this idea of complementation, Tripp-Umbach, the consulting firm the University commissioned for an initial feasibility study, reported that the college on the Urbana campus should be private rather than public so that it would not depend on state funds. This would prevent competition with Chicago for state funding, allowing the college to be built on the University’s ability

to raise funds through donors, corporations and foundations that would want to invest in this type of college. “It puts the onus on us to be raising money because we also don’t want to take our pie and divide it into more pieces,” Wise said. Wise said there are many more steps before the plans are concrete. Plans for the college will be presented to the Urbana-Champaign Senate in the fall, but the college still needs a governance structure, curriculum and financial base before it can be passed by the Board of Trustees and the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Modern-day Amelia Earhart hopes to inspire BY CELIA AMPEL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

MIAMI — Aviation goggles no more: The modern-day Amelia Earhart landed in Miami wearing rolled-up jeans and pink Nikes. Amelia Rose Earhart — no relation to the pioneering aviator of yore — finished the first leg of her around-the-globe flight Friday. The former TV reporter, 31, decided 10 years ago to learn to fly to honor her namesake. Over time, she hatched a plan to finish Amelia Mary Earhart’s fateful flight. When the plane passes over Howland Island, where the first Earhart failed to land, the Fly With Amelia Foundation will give 10 flight-training scholarships to young women. Amelia Rose Earhart hopes her journey will inspire girls to join the aviation industry as pilots, mechanics or administrators. “It seemed to me that the girls at the high school level still related to me,” she said. Amelia Rose and her safety pilot, Shane Jordan, won’t have much time to see Miami, where Amelia Mary first announced her intention to circumnavigate the globe. They head for Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday morning as part of a plan to see the sun rise all around the world. Their plane is stocked with plenty of snacks — but has no restroom. Past mingled with present Friday as admirers awaited the arrival from Denver of Amelia Rose Earhart’s plane at Landmark Aviation Hangar. Orlando Morning Sentinel front pages from 1937 blared headlines about the first Earhart’s flight. Her disappearance on her round-the-world journey remains one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. Barrington Irving, a Miami pilot who circumnavigated the globe in 2007, warned the modern-day Earhart to be careful about drinking water overseas. An enthusiastic group of former Pan Am flight attendants posed for photos in their original blue uniforms, down to the stock-
