A letter from Chancellor Phyllis Wise

A letter from President Robert Easter

Whether this is your first semester on the campus or you are continuing your journey, on behalf of all our faculty and staff, welcome to Illinois! It is amazing to me that this great university grew from one building and a few dozen students in 1867 into the globally-respected institution of today. You are among more than 42,000 students who represent all 50 states and more than 100 nations. Illinois is quite literally, a global crossroads of ideas, cultures and languages. From art to science and from faith to food, I hope your experiences here range from the engaging and exciting to the completely surprising. There is history around every corner and a story behind every brick you’ll touch. I encourage you to explore all of it. Discovery and learning aren’t limited to the classroom, library or laboratory at Illinois. Everyone here has something to teach us all. And all of us at Illinois are proud to call ourselves students. This is a place where every day is a chance to learn something new. To tackle a new problem. To ask a new question. This is the reason we are home to Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, Oscar recipients and Olympian and Paralympian champions. We push ourselves to fi nd better solutions and we understand that fi nding great success often means risking failure. The grand challenges of our society today have never been solved by maintaining the status quo. They are solved by women and men who are willing to embrace change, take the unknown path and fi nd the unexpected answers. This is your university, and we all look forward to the stories you will add to the Illinois legacy.

Welcome to the University of Illinois and I’m delighted that you have chosen our Urbana-Champaign campus as the next step in your educational journey. This is truly an extraordinary place — a global leader in education and research with a nearly 150-year legacy of achievement that has helped drive progress for our state and our nation. You will study under world-class faculty, alongside top students from every continent and in academic programs that include many ranked among America’s best. All of the tools are here to lay the foundation that will defi ne your future. Now, it’s up to you to seize the opportunity, and I hope you are guided by a lesson many of you might have learned as preschoolers, in a book by Dr. Seuss titled “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!”

Phyllis M. Wise

Robert A. Easter

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go. Oh the places you could go and the things you could see. Nothing is guaranteed. In the end, it’s all up to you. The weeks, months and years ahead will be a time of discovery that will transform your lives, honing the skills that will unlock the doors to your dreams. Take it all in, make the most of it and be sure to have a little fun along the way.

Connect with your professor to Get the most from large lectures enhance your college experience by making them feel smaller EARN SAENMUK Staff writer

Email

C

ollege life can be nerve wracking at times. Meeting new people, living away from home, time management — all these tasks can be challenging. One of the important adjustments a freshman has to go through is learning how classes are structured. Going from a class of around 20 to 30 students to a lecture of 300 people is not easy. Talking to professors may also be difficult when compared to talking to high school teachers, and every professor is different. Here are some tips on connecting to your professors.

Be active in class This is kind of a given, but it can help you connect to professors easier. Do not skip class and be there on time. This is very important, especially in a smaller class. Going to class does not just help with learning the materials, but it also helps you to be noticed by your professor in a positive way. Participate actively in class activities — ask and answer questions, stay focused, and do not cause trouble. Students should show that they care about the class. Everyone likes to talk to hardworking students. Leave a good impression.

Talk to your professor after class Professors usually stick around after the lesson is over. Ask additional questions about the lesson. If your profes-

#LASillinois

sor has to run, he or she can schedule an appointment outside of class time, or you can speak with him or her during designated office hours.

The fastest way to connect with a professor outside classroom is via email. Make sure to clearly name the subject of the email, including course number. Always introduce yourself at the beginning of the message. Professors receive many emails from students and faculty members everyday and knowing what an email is about can help professors prioritize the emails they receive. Try not to email your professors unless you really need assistance that can’t wait until the next time your class meets — oftentimes, it can be easier to just talk in person about non-pressing issues.

Go to office hours This is one of the most common and quick ways to connect with a professor. Every professor and TA has office hours set up to help students with any problems regarding their classes. If their office hours conflict with students’ schedules, professors usually will set up an appointment. Professors and TAs are usually very accessible. They are willing to help, so do not hesitate to try to connect with them. Always be polite and enthusiastic when talking to them. Talking to professors is in fact, a lot easier than many people think.

remember your face, and maybe even your name. Congratulations, you’re in — or at least you’re getting there.

TYLER DAVIS Managing editor

Office hours Office hours will also help your instructor remember your name and face. Office hours will also give you one-on-one time with your instructor that you wouldn’t otherwise have in such a big lecture. Instructors like to know that students do care about course content beyond the grade they will receive, so I would definitely recommend showing interest in content beyond the scope of the course in addition to shoring up your knowledge of things that will be covered on exams. No one likes a grade-grubbing trick pony.

As

a humble College of Media student who came from a high school in the middle of a cornfield, I’m used to smaller class sizes. There’s really nothing like dodging an instructor’s gaze for 50 minutes, avoiding answering questions among 20-some other students. If you’re going to be a good student, however, don’t follow my example. The great thing about small lectures is that your instructor can almost always answer any questions during and after lecture. And he or she will recognize you. You won’t have that same luxury in a larger lecture when you are among 300 other students stuffed into Foellinger Auditorium, fiendishly collecting your i>Clicker points. So, how do you make a big lecture feel small?

Making friends

Sit up front Facial recognition is the fi rst step here. Once your instructor can associate a face with a name, it could help your grade in the course — assuming that you’re attentive in lecture. It’s probably not a great idea to sit in the front row browsing Facebook and playing Candy Crush. Do people still play Candy Crush? You want to sit so close to your professor that you can feel his or her esteemed flecks of spittle hitting you in the face. Wash. Rinse. Repeat for the next lecture. Before long, Professor Brainiac will

This is defi nitely the key to making a big lecture feel small. In a small lecture, you have little choice as to who to buddy up with. In a big lecture, you will have more people to choose from. Meet people early on in the semester to fi nd other students whom you can study and work with. It’s also very nice to have someone who can give you notes from any lectures you miss. Just remember that it’s a two-way street, and you may be expected to help your new friends out with notes from lectures they’ve missed. Beyond the classwork itself, it’s always nice to meet new people, and who knows — you could just meet a lifelong friend.

Cut your costs on textbook purchases TYLER DAVIS Managing editor

T

he costs of textbooks can add up fast. When added with the other costs of college — tuition, meal plan, booze, Fat Sandwich (the list goes on) — it makes sense to minimize what you can, and it just so happens that it is very easy to get cheap textbooks. As a freshman, you may feel obliged to buy your textbooks at the Illini Union Bookstore. The razzle! The dazzle! The new Starbucks within! No one will stop you from paying full retail prices on books (especially not the University), but there are much cheaper places to buy books — namely, the Internet. Your first step will be to land on the Illini Union Bookstore’s homepage at www.uofibookstore.uiuc.edu. At the top of the screen, there will be a hyperlink

reading “BUY� to the right of an orange box reading “TEXTBOOKS.� Click this and you will be led to the bookstore’s comparison shopping app. I can’t attest to the accuracy of the bookstore’s price comparison, but I can tell you that this app is very helpful in fi nding assigned textbooks for the classes you’ve registered for before the syllabus is released. If you have to wait until the syllabus is released to buy your textbooks, online shopping (with cheap shipping) is pretty much out the window. Once you check the books you’ll need for all your classes, look up the ISBN on half.com or a similar website — Half, an eBay website, just happens to be my favorite. This ISBN is unique to each edition and variation of a book, so it should lead you to the book you will need for class. Once you search the code, a list of sellers with the book in varying conditions will come up — some of these results shockingly cheap. There’s nothing more validating than getting a $70 book for $10. I usually purchase on the

lower-end of condition because I honestly don’t care if my Calculus book has a bit of wear — in fact, I think it adds a bit of character. But what if a book has a one-use online code that you must purchase for classwork? Have no fear — you can usually still purchase the book secondhand while buying the online code separately and for cheaper. Unfortunately, you’ll need to buy that code directly from the publisher. What a racket. Just make sure to confirm that you will need the online code for the class before you purchase it. Keep in mind that sometimes professors do change required books by the time Syllabus Week rolls around, but I’ve never purchased the wrong books online before. Maybe I’m just lucky. Several months later, and the semester is already coming to a close. You’ve earned a grade of 100 percent in all your courses, and you’re a superstar freshman looking to make a quick buck. You can now throw your hat back into this grand capitalist scheme and

sell your books back to others. You can resell them on the Internet, but I usually just use a website called Illini Book Exchange. On this website, University of Illinois students can upload the books they have, specify the price, and then hand them off to a new owner on campus. It’s that easy. You could also use Illini Book Exchange to buy your textbooks instead of Half if you’re under a time crunch, since you don’t need to wait for shipping. So, now you’re saving money on buying textbooks, and you might even be making money selling them back to fools on campus. Use this knowledge for the good of mankind and be sure to treat your friends to a round of drinks/several Fat Sandwiches/brand spankin’ new campus McDonalds meal with your newfound wealth.

Minors an important consideration for students Declaring a minor broadens your skillset, enhances your academic experience NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

W

hen preparing for the college journey, there are a number of critical decisions that need to be made, the most obvious being which college to attend. And maybe even of equal or greater importance to some is the age-old decision of the ever-coveted major. The major we choose is supposed to guide our future career path and open the academic door that will get us there, and many of us students think once we have picked that, we are set. However, another comparably important decision students need to make is whether to declare a minor

or not. It may seem like an added workload, but with minors requiring somewhere around 20 hours depending on the program, completing one is very doable for many students and it is also well worth it. While many may disregard the benefits of declaring a minor, the truth is that having one can add a nice punch to your resume and enhance your overall academic experience. Regardless of what specific minor you choose, having one to add to your list of accomplishments demonstrates a careful amount of planning and care that went into your efforts as a student. Since we all know that choosing classes isn’t always easy, having a minor in which you carefully thought out your plan says a lot about your work ethic. Not only does having a minor demonstrate a particular level of

Communication defines who you are. communication |ke myoone kÄ SHen| 1. the imparting or exchanging of information or news (or smarts, or affection, or jokes, etc.) 2. a letter or message (or a video, or a tweet, or a text message, etc.) 3. the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings (or opinions, or warnings, or insults, etc.) 4. social contact (or professional link, or friendly connection, or a sudden bond, etc.)

At Illinois, you can get the definitive Communication education. For more information visit www.communication.illinois.edu

commitment and effort as a student, but it is also an excellent way to take classes that either accompany your major or allow you to explore other academic interests. For instance, as a media and cinema studies major, I decided to pursue a minor in sociology because it allowed me to not only take classes in another area I was interested in, but it also allowed me to apply some of the content from my major. By pursuing the combination of my major and minor, I now have a unique knowledge base that allows me to more specifically understand mass media and its effect and relation to people, which is more applicable to the career path I want to head into. My minor in sociology allowed me to better understand my major and apply some of the information I learned into

my core classes. Had I not taken this minor, I would not have had such an expansive understanding of my major. However, a minor can still be just as useful and worthwhile without specifically correlating with your major because of the additional knowledge and experience you will gain from it. Either way, pursuing a minor will broaden your skillset and allow you to be betterrounded after college. And, chances are, the University provides something you will like — the options for minor programs are endless. With everything from astronomy to animal sciences, philosophy to French, or communication to computer science, there is something for everyone.

Study abroad: Expanding your horizons

Healthy study habits let you balance social, academic life Good study techniques, study spots help you make the most of your time spent studying

UI offers myriad of programs, resources for students considering studying abroad ABRAR AL-HEETI Staff writer

E

xpanding your horizons is part of the Illinois experience. One way to step outside your comfort zone, immerse yourself in a new environment and gain new experiences is through study abroad. The University offers study abroad programs that range from a semester of study to a year of study, as well as terms during winter and spring break. There are also internship opportunities and volunteer components offered through certain programs that students can partake in. “Whatever you want to get out of it, you can fi nd it,� said Amanda Toledo, program assistant at the Illinois Study Abroad Office. Toledo said studying abroad was a valuable experience that gave her a new perspective on classes in her major. “For me, it was the fact that it complemented my studies in ways that I couldn’t get here,� she said. “I was an English major — I went to England, took a (Shakespeare) class in my major so I was still getting requirements done, and then on the weekends I got to go see Shakespeare’s grave and go to the Globe Theatre — just things that can complement your education in ways that you can’t get here.� Area Adviser Kara Porter said the benefits of studying abroad reach a personal level beyond the academic component. “From both my experience as an adviser and a study abroad returnee, study abroad also provides personal growth opportunity, so students are challenged in ways that they aren’t challenged here by living in the U.S.,� Porter said.

“So students gain so much more independence, they gain responsibility, even navigation skills that they wouldn’t here.â€? The Study Abroad Office holds general information sessions three times a week during the school year, where students can obtain more in-depth information. “We also welcome students into the resource room,â€? said Program Assistant Katie Kuhl. “We do a lot of one-on-one work with students to help them figure out what type of program they want to go on.â€? The Study Abroad Office also participates in the Study Abroad Fair, which is usually held four times a year in the Union. Area advisers are present, students can ask any questions they have as they gather general information and scholarship information is provided. “We give out tons of scholarships, over $850,000 a year,â€? said Toledo. “We have a couple that we usually recommend to students, but one of them is the I for I Scholarship, and that’s a student fee that students pay ‌ and all that money basically goes into a pot, and we have to give it out every single year.â€? The scholarship is both meritand need-based, but is also aimed at underrepresented groups, which Toledo said include minorities as well as men, “who are surprisingly underrepresented in study abroad.â€? Such scholarships can significantly help with the costs of studying abroad and make the experience more attainable for many.

Formals, sporting events or just a night at one of the campus bars are just a few things that will get in the way of studying. Now I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do those things. You should! You only go to college once! But you have to be able to balance both a social life and your academics. If you follow these study habits, you’ll not only have a great experience, but also a great GPA.

Study Techniques By now, you should know what study method works for you. Flash cards, rereading (or reading for the fi rst time) the text, looking over notes and writing outlines all work. The key is to make sure that you know the information. If you had to fl ip over the card or peek at the answer before you could answer the question, then you still have work to do.

When to Study It might seem obvious that the night before a test, midterm or fi nal is the night to study. I hope that this is obvious to everyone. But opening up the book and notes for the fi rst time the night before is not the best choice. In order to properly learn the information, the work starts after the lecture or discussion section. Whether that be later that afternoon or night, it is important to go over the information that the day covered. It might not be a long time. Maybe five minutes. But it is important to relearn the information the day it was taught. It is also important to continually go over the information every day. The more you repeat the information, the easier it will be to learn and recall it during the test. The information will actually be learned compared

to learning it the night before, which will only result with the challenge of vividly trying to remember the information. Remember, this is college now. This information is important because it will be used for your job.

Where to Study Where you study also plays an important role as to whether or not you learn the information. The best place to study is one that is quiet and that offers little distractions. The libraries on campus offer areas for quiet individual study, as well as areas to study with a group of people. It’s also essential to turn off your phone and stay away from Facebook, Twitter or whatever else you constantly check. Some people prefer to listen to music at a low volume when they study. If that helps then that’s great, but it’s important to focus on the material so that it stays with you for a long time, and a loud room and computer will distract you from progress.

Reward Yourself Although it is important to get as much information as you can, doing so for a long time might actually hurt you rather then help. It is important to take breaks when you are studying. Your brain’s attention span is not that long. Spend half an hour on one subject and take a break. Go for a walk, go to the Internet and poke someone on Facebook, or favorite a tweet. Make sure to distract your brain and reenergize it with water and a small snack. You can also reward yourself when you study. Place little gummy bears at each paragraph of your textbook and eat it when you fi nish the paragraph. For every right answer you get, reward yourself with a cookie, or a healthier option, a slice of an apple. Anything that keeps you motivated to study is good! Now I’m not guaranteeing a 4.0 GPA if you follow all of these study habits. I can guarantee, however, that if you balance your social life and use these steps, the GPA will be high and you will also enjoy your journey during these next four year of college.

Making inclusivity a reality at Illinois

It should be the mission of students to reach out to different social groups AUSTIN KEATING Interim editor-in-chief

Y

ou’re in the final frontier of your education — a fouryear mission to get your degree. On this campus you’ll explore different civilizations and cultures, learn things that have been buried in time and memory, and boldly go where so many have gone before. But you can do more than those who came before you — you can reach higher and make your mark on this campus, and I know just where you can start. Inclusivity. If you haven’t caught on yet, this guide has a Star Trek/ space theme — you know, with

the whole bit about a “four-year mission” and the spaceships and planets. We thought it’d be a pretty cool thing to do, not just because of how it looks, but because of a parallel that can be drawn between the Federation of Planets and this University. All told, the Federation of Planets has over 50 different species represented in its interplanetary government — here at the University during the spring 2014 semester, we had over 120 different nations represented by our student body, with a little under 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students from other countries than the U.S., according to data from the Division of Management Information. It’s impressive — more impressive than the 50 species the Federation of Planets boasts

— but at the same time, it’s not. In Star Trek, you had crews of men and women – crews of blacks, whites, Asians, Indians, and even aliens and androids. In the Trek universe, it’s common for a woman to be an engineer and an African-American to be a captain. And the best part is that crews laugh and work with each other fully, looking past skin color and antennas and leaving prejudices behind. I wish I could say the same about this campus. Last semester, a spotlight shined on our campus following a string of racist tweets mocking Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s Asian heritage, highlighting a disregard of the behaviors that could make this diverse campus inclusive. No matter where I go, I can always see the racial cliques

on campus — even in study groups, the stratification is clear. It’s easy for people to feel comfortable with others who are like them and — considering the racial implications of the Twitter attack on Wise — it’s hard to blame them. It’s your mission not to just follow the coordinates to your degree. You need to drop to impulse speed sometimes and look around you. You need to say hello to someone who may not look or speak like you. You need to be socially aware of the far-from-subtle stratification affecting our campus and help to change it. Live long and prosper, and good luck with your mission.

Responsible drinking techniques to help you stay stafe F A guide on how to have fun while staying safe and responsible on campus

AUDREY MAJORS Copy chief

or as often as the phrase “drinking responsibly” is thrown around, it’s rarely clearly defined. And perhaps that’s because being responsible while drinking isn’t a set of hard and fast rules. It changes from situation to situation and from college to college. Loosely defined, drinking responsibly should be about taking responsibility for actions you do while drinking and doing your best to keep yourself and others safe while drinking. Regardless if you’ve drank before coming to this university or if it’ll be your first time experimenting with alcohol; it is likely to be a completely new experience for you. Having entry to bars at a younger-than-usual age — 18 in Urbana and 19 in Champaign — and attending fraternity parties often make drinking on a college campus substantially different. Knowing how to handle these new situations and freedom is how to drink responsibly during your time at the University. Drinking responsibly begins before you even touch your first drink of the night. It starts with the decision to drink at all. For a lot of University students, the weekend starts on Thursday. This is either because they don’t have any Friday classes, or it’s only a discussion section that “they don’t really need to go to.” But not all of us have that luxury, and knowing when you should and shouldn’t drink so you never jeopardize your grades for a night of drinking is crucial. Do you have a quiz in the morning? A 5-page paper you still need start? Learning to never prioritize drinking over getting your schoolwork done is one of the best habits you can learn early on in your college career. If you don’t already know, you’ll

learn soon enough that a night of drinking rarely goes completely according to any plan. However, that doesn’t mean having a rough outline for your night isn’t useful. Things like knowing when the last bus runs to your dorm or apartment, or the phone number for SafeRides (217-265-RIDE) or SafeWalks (217-333-1216), which are late night transportation services for students, are important for getting home safely. Also with those you go out with, communicate expectations about the night like when you want to come home. Likewise, have a general idea of where you and those you are with are going for the night and where you want to end up – it helps keep everyone safe. Most important to any good night of drinking is being with people whom you can explicitly trust and will keep your wellbeing in mind. No, not every person you go out drinking with is going to be a close or trusted friend; half the fun of going out drinking is meeting new people. However, it’s reassuring to keep a couple close friends who always have your best interests in hand and will look out for you as you look at for them. Of course, ultimately the choices you make and your actions while drinking are your own responsibility, but having friends you can count on make the night so much more enjoyable. You can take every precaution for a night of drinking, and it can still sometimes take a turn for the worse. Knowing your limits and keeping yourself hydrated with water between drinks can ensure that you are levelheaded enough to handle any situations that come your way. Drinking in college is a great way to socialize and connect with other students as long as you keep in mind the responsibilities that come with the freedom.

efore classes started last year, my roommate and I were almost locked in the Armory late at night as we looked for a classroom. And we only found the Armory after using the map on her phone, which we shamelessly tried to decipher in the middle of the quad. Adorned with lanyards and decked out in Illinois gear, we, along with many of our classmates, might as well have had the word “freshman” tattooed in orange and blue on our foreheads. That horrifyingly awkward first week also entailed missing dinner twice after forgetting when the dining hall closed, having to ask a random girl in Gregory Hall where my classroom was because I was going to be late (whoever you are, thank you for walking me there — I still tell people about you), and trying to figure out what this “KAM’S” was that people kept talking about. I was painfully oblivious to say the least. My blunders didn’t end there. I waited until the last minute to study for my philosophy exam, a subject I knew I was unprepared for, decided that I didn’t need to bring a jacket to a Christmas party despite the fact that it was 12 degrees outside, and I didn’t perfect my laundry system until about April. I made a lot of mistakes. The memories come back in waves and are immediately followed by, “wow, that was dumb” or “how could I have been so clueless?” These mistakes, however, are inevitable. Freshmen are bound to sleep through a class, watch too much Netflix, eat a sickening amount of PAR late night and “forget” to read an assignment. They have never been to college before, so how are they supposed to know how in the world cafe credits work or how hard that biology test will be? (spoiler: it’s probably really hard) While making these mistakes, it’s important to remember that everyone else is just about as clueless or was as clueless just a few years ago. The older students that seem so savvy once took the South Illini instead of the North Illini and got

lost in Champaign. They survived and so will you. Freshmen mistakes aren’t a big deal as long as they stay just that: freshmen mistakes. These gaffes exist to be learned from so that you can figure out how you, your environment and school work together. If you fi nd out taking the majority of your notes from the book isn’t working, try something different and focus on lecture, or if the 22 Illini consistently makes you late to 9 a.m. Psych lecture, try a different bus or maybe a different route altogether. The key is to fi nd out what works best for you logistically, socially and academically, and all of these mistakes help you cross things off the list to narrow down a game plan. Now, if you’re consistently sleeping through your class and failing exams because you’re not studying effectively, remember that you won’t have the excuse of being just a clueless little freshman for long. That being said, I’d recommend making these mistakes, recognizing them, and decoding what you can do better next time. But above all — and bare with me now because this is about to get really cheesy — don’t sweat the small stuff. Embrace those freshmen mistakes because you’ll be a better person for them if you’re proactive. Mistakes are the result of taking chances, going with your gut and taking a leap of faith. If you don’t make any, you’re probably staring at your blank dorm wall, which isn’t doing anyone any good. It’s OK to die a little bit of embarrassment when you realize you’ve wandered into the wrong classroom or get lost trying to navigate the ARC. Albeit heart-stoppingly mortifying when it does happen, you’ll have some great stories to share as a result. Just remember what Ms. Frizzle always says — “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!”

Catch a glimpse beyond your own world

University Observatory hosts open houses for visitors to observe night skies ABRAR AL-HEETI Staff writer

T

ucked behind Foellinger Auditorium, just past the Main Quad, lies a building where observers can catch a glimpse beyond their own world. The University’s Astronomical Society hosts open houses at the University Observatory on the first Friday of every month, where visitors can look through the telescope and observe objects in the night sky. If the first Friday is clouded over and visibility becomes an issue, the open house is moved to the second Friday of the month. What visitors will see is largely dependent on “what happens to be up in the sky that night and the season of the year,” said Bryan Dunne, assistant chair and assistant professor in the Astronomy Department. But typically, they can expect to see objects such as the moon, the planets and star clusters. Austin Edmister, president of

the Astronomical Society, has some advice when visiting the observatory for the first time. “Go in with an open mind,” he said. “Everybody goes in there and they expect these really amazing color pictures of greens and blues — it’s mostly just like grayscale stuff.” Edmister also recommends being inquisitive. “We love questions,” he said. “All of our questions usually end up on really cool conversations. Everybody gets to learn something about astronomy.” The open house’s starting time changes depending on the time of the year and when the sun sets. Along with the observatory located on campus, Parkland College is home to the Staerkel Planetarium, a theater that projects programs onto a 50-foot dome screen. Public shows are held Friday and Saturday nights, and they usually involve a live tour of the sky, said planetarium Director David Leake. In the 8 p.m. time slot, the planetarium also shows a fulldome movie. This fall, they will be premiering a program called

Dynamic Earth, about the earth’s climate engine. “And the thing we’re really excited about … there’re lots of computer simulations in it that were done right here in town at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications on the U of I campus,” Leake said. “The visualization team there has done wonderful things that have made it in to a lot of these planetarium shows.” Tickets for the planetarium cost $4 for students, seniors and kids, and $5 for adults. Leake, along with another University alumnus, Mike Svec, helped create the Friends of the University of Illinois Observatory group about three years ago. The group assists in maintenance and preservation of the observatory. Last year, they led restoration efforts for the observatory’s telescope, which hadn’t been restored for six decades. Svec said the group works with the astronomy department to reach out to alumni for funds and to also gather stories and memories of the observatory. “For many of us, the Observatory was a significant part of our

Illinois experience, and we want to ensure students always have the same opportunity we did,” Svec said in an email. “We were given opportunities and now want to return the favor.” Svec added, “I hate to admit it but there were times when I spent more time using the telescope than I did doing course work. But isn’t that what a place like Illinois should be doing, providing rich and varied opportunities both in and outside the classroom so you can explore?” For more information about the University observatory’s open house, go to uias.astro.illinois. edu/openhouse.html.

The new 2013 Sigma Delta Tau pledge class meets their sorority sisters after receiving their bid cards on bid day on the Quad.

How sorority life can impact your college experience KAYLA BURNS Staff writer

C

oming to college means starting a new chapter in your life. You will be introduced to more new things, people and experiences than you ever imagined. For many women, this includes going Greek. Last year, over 990 women pledged a sorority through formal recruitment. This fall, over a thousand women will go through formal recruitment at Illinois to fi nd what many call “a home away from home.� The decision to participate in formal sorority recruitment can be daunting. Between negative stigma posed in movies, TV shows and the media, the cost of being a part of the organization and the recruitment process itself, many women are turned off to the idea before really giving it a shot. Caroline Eichelberger, a sophomore in LAS, was hesitant of the process, but decided to rush regardless. “To be honest though, the recruitment process wasn’t exactly my idea of fun,� she said. “It was hot, it was long, and it was exhausting. Girls everywhere were crying and complaining and calling their moms. There were houses that

I immediately knew were not for me, but there were also times when a house I liked didn’t invite me back, despite what I thought was a great conversation. And that was hard. It made me wonder what they didn’t like about me and what qualities I was missing. But then there were houses that did invite me back, where the girl I had spoken with remembered me, and seemed genuinely happy that I was there again.� This year, the recruitment process at Illinois is spread out over two weekends in September. With each progressing round, potential new members learn more about the chapter. “Those moments were what kept me going through the long days,� Eichelberger said. “During third invite, I listened to seniors speak about the adventures they had gone on together and realized that the sisterhood in these houses was actually real.� The last day of formal recruitment is Bid Day, where women receive invitations to join their new chapter. From there, the welcome home party begins, where they spend their evening taking pictures, meeting their new sisters and celebrating the new house they can call home. “On bid day, girls who had cried after first round now cried tears of joy as they were welcomed home by their new

sisters,� said Eichelberger. “I cannot describe the feeling I got when I opened my envelope to see my bid card.� Although the formal recruitment process can be daunting, many times, it’s the fear of what comes after the bid cards are distributed that worries potential new members. Tales of insane partying, hazing and other scandalous activity are commonly associated with college Greek life. Formal recruitment also gives women the opportunity to fi nd out how they can become involved through leadership, service and networking. Yianna Sotiropoulos, a junior in Business, is currently the president of Alpha Chi Omega. Sotiropoulos credits AXO with giving her the opportunity to grow as a leader, make life long connections as well as fi nd her best friends. “I wanted to run for a leadership position to not only give back to this great organization, but to help continue to improve Alpha Chi Omega,� she said. “Through my position, I am able to collaborate with my executive board, Alpha Chi Omega headquarters, and my sisters in order to ensure the chapter is reaching our fullest potential. The biggest thing I have learned from being president is that, no matter what you do in life there are always people there to support you, help you, and guide you.� With over 400 registered student orga-

the student engineering magazine at the university of illinois since 1885

nizations at the University, there are many ways to get involved with campus. Josie Kossman, a junior in Media, explained that sororities have an edge on other groups. “The opportunities with a sorority go beyond college,� Kossman said. “These are national organizations with thousands of members across the nation. By joining, members are given an extensive network of people who they have an instant bond with. Being able to say you’re a member of ‘x’ sorority and meeting someone in the work force who also is a member of that house gives you a bond and an instant advantage with that person.� Attending a school with an undergraduate population of more than 32,280 can be a daunting task for anyone, but especially someone who was born and raised in a small town. Kortney Carr, a sophomore in Media, comes from a small town with a population of about 3,000. Carr decided to go through recruitment to overcome the possibility of becoming lost in the crowd. “Getting involved in Greek life really made the campus feel smaller,� Carr said. “You meet so many people through things such as social or philanthropy events that you constantly see familiar faces.�

Must see places on and off campus for University students

Buildings, restaurants and areas to explore during your college years DECLAN HARTY Opinions columnist

W

ith over seven square miles of campus covering two towns and hosting more than 40,000 students, the University has an endless amount of places that students need to see. The rush of college can take away from the campus, especially in your fi rst year. So make it a point to maybe spend a night at a restaurant in downtown Champaign and not on the dance floor at Joe’s, or visiting the Japan House instead of cramming for a test that is three weeks away. Here are a few must-see buildings, restaurants and areas of campus that students should aspire to see in their four years on campus.

Buildings With over 600 campus buildings housing 17 different colleges and programs, students and professors often travel from one building to another in hopes of making the next class on time. But, unfortunately, many students and professors on campus do not end up appreciating the buildings. Whether it is because you think that, as an English major, you never need to go to Grainger Engineering Library or because you are trying to think of how you can maximize the amount of work that is done before happy hour — many people are limited in their ability to stop and look around at their surroundings. Some buildings to check out this year include Temple Hoyne Buell Hall, Smith Memorial Hall and the Stock Pavilion. Each building, which are

all located on or near the South Quad, offer something interesting. Temple Hoyne Buell was actually an accomplished Architecture alum. The hall was constructed in 1997, made possible by the contributions of Buell. Right now, it is the home of the architecture program, as well as the departments of landscape architecture and urban and regional planning, on campus. Smith Memorial Hall has housed many music programs and classes since the 1920s and remains squeezed between Foellinger Auditorium and the Foreign Language Building. Its concert hall is exquisite and still remains a venue commonly used by the music department. As for the Stock Pavilion, the fi reproof building was built in 1913, and has become the home of many groups in its 101 years. In addition with playing host to the Mom’s Weekend Flower Show, various campus RSOs, community groups and events take place and use the facility such as stock judging, and formerly the building housed the University’s Spring Carnival from 1963 to 1974, according to ExploreCU.org.

Restaurants Yes, your meal plan at the dining hall is already paid for and unlimited pizza is every college student’s dream, but dining options across Champaign-Urbana and campustown are endless. Here a few of campustown’s and Champaign-Urbana’s best options:

Black Dog Smoke and Ale House Black Dog Smoke and Ale House, located at 201 N. Broadway Ave. in the heart of downtown Urbana, Black Dog is the number one restaurant in Urba-

With the line always extending outside, the procedure at Black Dog is just as important as the food — try to always arrive at the restaurant’s opening to ensure eating as soon as possible if you are in a rush. But do not get fearful of the line, they typically always go through fast. In regards to the food, it is the best barbecue, hands down.

Papa Del’s Papa Del’s, located at 206 E. Green St. in campustown, provides students with a pizza option that is not covered in grease and a possible destination for a date. Ranked number 5 out of the 271 restaurants in Champaign, Papa Del’s is known for its deep dish reminding students from Chicago of the native dish. The restaurant is one of

the few pizza options on campus that is not notoriously known as a haven for drunken students after a night of drinking.

Destihl Destihl, ranked as the number two restaurant in Champaign, is a must visit. With elaborate concoctions including a surplus of bacon along with various steaks, burgers and seafood. Destihl, at 301 N. Neil St., is the ultimate place for family, friends and girlfriends or boyfriends that are visiting and looking for a great meal. With only two locations, Destihl is a rare fi nd and worth the bus ride to downtown Champaign.

Other places to visit Illini Grove, located at the corner of Lincoln and Penn-

sylvania in Urbana, plays host to various different amenities including tennis courts, picnic tables and a volleyball and basketball court. Illini Grove is a must see for its difference from the rest of campus. With trees looming overhead, Illini Grove provides a break from the infamous central Illinois flatland that makes up the majority of campus. Japan House has become one of the most interesting unknown places on campus for students to discover in their four years. Located at 2000 S. Lincoln Ave., the Japan House is not only a must see because it is next to the arboretum, but because it is also the home of its own garden and grounds.

Explore campus surroundings for less money Champaign-Urbana offers various activities for low prices

Why do U of I students take classes at Parkland? Kevin Biederwolf

UI senior, advertising Parkland College online student

Before heading home to Schaumburg for the summer, Kevin followed his advisor’s suggestion to take Economics 102 online through Parkland to free up his fall semester for UI advertising and media classes. “Everything about it went smoothly,” Kevin says, “from finding the online Parkland summer class schedule to registering for the class, transferring the credit, and having it show up on my UI transcript.” “I felt I got everything out of the class that I would have gotten by taking it from the U of I, but for a lot less money.”

SARAH SOENKE Features editor

It

may be in the middle of East Central Illinois, but Champaign-Urbana has a lot going on. And with the twin cities being popularly termed a “micro-urban community,” the costs for many leisure and entertainment options are micro too, if not entirely free. So take a break from thinking about your newly acquired student loans and enjoy exploring what Champaign-Urbana has to offer without spending all of your leftover cash.

Get your money’s worth Now that you’ve started paying tuition, it’s time to start taking advantage of your student status. Several venues and hotspots on campus allow you to pay less than the standard price. Nearly any performance at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts is $10 or less for University students — even for acts like Yo-Yo Ma and the Russian National Ballet — and select shows offer Hot Seats, reserved seats just for University students. The venue hosts several free concerts and activities as well. The Illini Union, the central hub for all things student-oriented, offers free or discounted activities and events year-round. Stop by the Rec Room for discounted bowling and billiards any day of the week or check out a free show, from improv comedy to hypnotist demonstrations. It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you have some free time, but the University libraries offer more than just books and study spaces. Students can check out DVDs, CDs, comic books and video games, as well as a Media Commons’ Gaming Zone . Feeling creative? The library also rents out an extensive list of loanable technology, including tablets, cameras, microphones and more.

Take advantage of University facilities Students can easily get to know the ins and outs of academic buildings on campus, but there is plenty more to see. The Krannert Art Museum, Spurlock Museum and the Illini Union Art Gallery all feature student and guest exhibits for students to explore for free. Outside of the fitness rooms in ARC and CRCE, students can take cooking and wellness classes, rock

climb, ice skate at the Ice Arena and join an intramural league through Campus Recreation. Then on the first Friday of every month, the University’s Observatory opens its doors to the public to allow visitors to gaze at the stars through the original 12” refracting telescope.

Explore the outdoors on campus grounds There are plenty of beautiful parks and outdoor spaces across campus, but there are definitely some highlights to check out. First and foremost, the Quad is not something to overlook. Yes, it’s perfect for an afternoon lounge in between classes, but it also hosts frequent events, like outdoor movie screenings, music performances and club meetings and demonstrations. A little more removed from Campustown, the Japan House gardens and the Arboretum are located just south of Florida Avenue on Lincoln Avenue for students to enjoy. Spend an afternoon taking in the fresh air and strolling through the 160 acres of the Arboretum while the weather’s still enjoyable. Japan House, an educational center for international cultures and artists, also offers public tea ceremonies and tours on Thursdays.

Go beyond Campustown When it comes to shopping on campus, you end up paying for the convenience of location. Make use of the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit bus system and venture out to Champaign and Urbana for cheaper selections. Champaign’s Market Place Mall offers a range of shops of its own while being surrounded by inexpensive department stores such as Walmart, Target, Goodwill and The Salvation Army. Urbana also has Lincoln Square Mall, which hosts a weekly farmers’ market every Saturday (most commonly known as Market at the Square, but the name changes by season). Spend a weekend afternoon perusing the unique vendors, or walk around Champaign and Urbana’s unique downtown areas for its diverse mix of eclectic shops (though you may have to stick to window shopping).

Ins and outs of CUMTD’s bus system for easier travel Knowledge of buses makes going anywhere around C-U possible EARN SAEMUK Staff writer

T

he University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has 647 total buildings, covering an area of 7.1 square miles, which makes it difficult to walk from one side of the campus to another. Most students rely on Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) buses to commute. There are many different lines of buses, and each one goes to different parts of the cities. Going to places will be a lot easier if students remember which buses go where. Here’s a quick guide to jumpstart your long relationship with CUMTD — just be sure you take the bus in the correct direction: Q 1 Yellow — Champaign Walmart, Meijer, Carmike 13 Theater, Marketplace Mall, Illinois Terminal, County Market at White & Fourth streets, Illini Union Bookstore at Transit Plaza, Ikenberry Commons SDRP, Parking Lot E-14, Savoy 16 Theater, Savoy Walmart Q 2 Red — Marketplace Mall, Christie Clinic, Illinois

Events in ChampaignUrbana that reach beyond campustown KARYNA RODRIGUEZ Video editor

It

can be easy to fall into the same pattern during your first year of college. You’re new to campus and most likely can now get into bars for the first time in your life. While the bars are fun, you don’t want to forget that there is a community here beyond campustown. Champaign-Urbana offers many events that will help you branch out to the community.

The Pygmalion Festival The Pygmalion Festival is one of C-U’s most popular music festivals that strives to bring relevant artists to Champaign. In the festival’s past decade, performers have included Of Montreal, Janelle Monae, Iron & Wine and many more. Last year the festival expanded to include The Pygmalion Literary Festival, a two-day literary event featuring a broad range of award-winning and emerging authors. The Made Fest was also added, which is a two-day, curated and open-air marketplace featuring handmade and vintage sellers. Pygmalion will take place Sept. 25 through 28 this year in the Krannert Center District in Urbana and downtown Champaign. Artists

announced so far include CHVRCHES, American Football (originally from Champaign-Urbana!), Panda Bear and more. Festival passes cost $85 plus a handling fee while individual tickets prices range depending on the artist.

Boneyard Arts Festival Students can connect to the community through the arts at the Boneyard Arts Festival every spring. This four-day event hosted by 40 North | 88 West aims to bring together local artists, business and organizations to showcase the art of the community. The festival includes all of Champaign County with over 100 traditional and non-traditional venues, including theaters, cafes, galleries and even salons and retail stores. All kinds of visual artists are welcome along with musicians, actors, dancers, poets and other performers.

Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon Combine exercise and community with the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon. Over 18,000 people gather every April to run this flat and fast course through downtown streets, tree-lined residential neighborhoods and paved park trails. Registration for this year’s marathon opened on July 7 and will remain open until April. Runners can sign up for a marathon, half

marathon, wheelchair half, marathon relay, 10K and 5K. There is a registration fee, but the earlier you sign up the cheaper the fee. Additionally, prize money is given to the top three female and male participants in the marathon and half marathon.

Ebertfest The Roger Ebert Film Festival was founded in 1999 by the late film critic and University of Illinois alumnus Roger Ebert. The film festival celebrates films that haven’t received the recognition they deserved during their original runs. Filmmakers and actors are also invited to speak on panels after their films are shown. Last year, Brie Larson, Spike Lee, Patton Oswalt and Oliver Stone were just a few filmmakers in attendance. Past actors have also included Tilda Swinton and Shailene Woodley. The festival is held every year in the historic Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign, one of Ebert’s favorite theatres growing up. Festival passes are $145 but tickets are sold individually as well. However, the festival is always looking for student volunteers who are often permitted to watch the films for free if there is available seating.

A letter from Director of Athletics Mike Thomas

D

ear Fighting Illini Students, On behalf of the entire Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Illinois, I would like to welcome you to campus for the beginning of another great school year! I’m very excited to see what 2014-2015 holds after the many successes of the past year. I have learned in my time at Illinois that this is a terrific campus in many ways. This University is a national leader in academics, research, community engagement, and athletics. The key element in each of these

areas is our bright and talented student body. From my perspective, I have the pleasure of witnessing the incredible student support our athletic teams receive from their classmates. No matter the sport or event, I see that Illinois students truly are diehard Fighting Illini Fans! I thank you for your enthusiasm and devotion. You provide a great home team advantage for our student-athletes and we greatly appreciate your energetic and passionate support! As this new academic year begins, I hope to see more and more of you at our sporting events and around cam-

pus. A vibrant and engaged student body is critical to a university’s success both in the classroom and on the field of competition. The high caliber of our teams and the thrill of a Big Ten athletic environment is something you should promise yourself to experience during your time on campus. I enjoyed meeting many of you at our events last year and I’m looking forward to doing so again in 2014-2015. I wish you a happy, successful, and productive school year, and I look forward to seeing you cheer the Illini on to victory! Go Illini!

Mike Thomas

University sports: Much more than just football games

With the University offering more than 19 varsity sports, students should seek out all sports games

W

hen I was a freshman, just about every one of my friends had Illinois football season tickets. Going to football games is a thing you do when you’re a college student at a Big Ten university. The football team had a 6-0 start that year, found itself in the Top 25 and was starting to get some national attention. Meanwhile, the Illini volleyball team started 20-0 and ranked No. 1 in the country. None of my friends had volleyball season tickets. I eventually found myself in Huff Hall for a game — a far more intense experience than I was anticipating. By the end the fall semester I was eagerly watching Illinois volleyball play in the national championship game against UCLA. The football team, which fi nished a meager 6-6 in the regular season, was a distant memory. As a new student coming to Illinois, you should go to football games and enjoy them. If Tim Beckman’s team can put together anything resembling a defense this season, it should

Volleyball

Chandler Eggleston performs the parallel bars routine at Huff Hall on Jan. 26.

Illini volleyball lost the 2011 national championship game to UCLA, but still cemented its place as one of the best programs in the country. After missing the NCAA tournament in 2012, Coach Kevin Hambly’s squad returned to the Sweet 16 last year and should be competitive yet again this fall. Huff Hall provides the best home court advantage of any Illinois athletics facility. The crowd is typically more than 4,000 strong and the fans are right on the court.

made a surprise visit to the NCAA Sweet 16. The Illini have the nation’s leading scorer, Jannelle Flaws, returning for her senior season in 2014 and should be a force in the Big Ten. Illinois will be trying to reach its fifth straight NCAA tournament this fall.

Soccer After struggling through the regular season and barely making the Big Ten tournament in 2013, the Illinois soccer team

Women’s basketball Illini women’s hoops lost some serious fi repower after the 201213 season. It showed in 2013-14; the Illini won only nine games. But after this season they lost only one senior and should be much improved with another year under head coach Matt Bollant. Add to that a Top-25 ranked recruiting class and it would be surprising to see this

Men’s gymnastics Not many teams are disappointed with a fourth place fi nish nationally, but the Illini men’s gymnastics team is one of them. Two years after winning the national title, many of the Illini still remember what reaching the top tastes like. Illinois should be near the top of the rankings again this year and should have 2012 still rings champion C.J. Maestas back to full health after being nagged by a tricep injury that caused him to miss the entire 2013 season.

Men’s golf It’s rare to find a powerhouse golf program in a cold weather area, but Illini men’s golf coach Mike Small somehow finds ways to keep his team near the top of the rankings. After losing in the national quarterfinals this season, Illinois should be hungry for more. Like gymnastics, the men’s golf team won’t compete in Big Tens and nationals until the spring, but the team is worth keeping an eye on.

Four Illini athletes to watch in the 2014-15 season From soccer’s Jannelle Flaws to wrestling’s Jesse Delgado, don’t miss these Illini play SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor

ven casual Illini sports fans know who Dee Brown and Juice Williams are. But it’s been seven years since either of them suited up in orange and blue. The diehard fans will know the more recent names: Brandon Paul, Nathan Scheelhaase and Adrienne GodBold, to name a few. But which Illini should you be paying attention to during the 2014-15 school year? With 19 varsity athletics teams, there are quite a few names to remember. Here are two men’s and two women’s athletes to keep an eye on this year:

V’Angelo Bentley Illinois football’s starting cornerback was recently named to the Hornung Award watch list for the 2014 season. The award is given annually to college football’s most versatile player. Bentley proved his versatility a year ago, despite missing two games with a foot injury, as a reliable cornerback and return man. Bentley’s 100-yard kick return for a touchdown in the Illini season opener provided hope for fans who had watched one of the nation’s worst return units in 2013. He’s proved he can move with the ball in his hands. If he can stay healthy and show improvement on the defensive side of the ball, Bentley could be one of head coach Tim Beckman’s most valuable weapons.

Jannelle Flaws As a junior in 2013, Flaws led the country in goals scored with 23. The athletic department named Flaws the Dike Eddelman female athlete of the year, and she was named The Daily Illini athlete of the year. After helping Illini soccer to the Sweet 16, Flaws will be back for her

senior season looking for more goals. She would need to be near the top of the country in scoring again if she wants to challenge Tara Hurless’ school-record 47 career goals (Flaws has 26 in her career). The Illini have made four straight NCAA Tournaments and should be in the hunt for a fifth straight. Many eyes will be on Flaws and rightfully so.

Jesse Delgado The Dike Eddelman men’s athlete of the year also happens to be coming back for another year. Reigning national champion wrestler in the 125-pound weight class, Jesse Delgado, will return for his senior season seeking a personal three-peat. He will also be seeking his fourth career All-American honors. As a team the Illini finished 13th at nationals, a result that coach Jim Heffernan was disappointed in. He will be expecting more out of his team in 2014-15. And for Delgado, the expectation won’t just be for a third national championship, but also to widen the gap between himself and his competition.

Kandie Bloch-Jones One of the biggest surprises for the Illini women’s track team last season was the success of freshman high jumper Kandie Bloch-Jones. BlochJones will return for her sophomore season after becoming the first Illini to win high jump at the Big Ten Indoor Championships since 1997. Bloch-Jones finished 14th at the NCAA Indoor Championships and will look to improve on her personal best of 5 feet, 11.5 inches. She won the athletic department’s award for female newcomer of the year and should be exciting to watch in 2014-15.

Campus provides many places to watch the games

Students cheer on Illinois football anywhere from the Block I to campus bars or even just at home KAYLA BURNS Staff writer

Illinois’ Ryan Lankford runs in a touchdown at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 7.

Fall semester means many things for a large university. Students are back on campus, classes are back in session and a new season of football begins. Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a football fan, game days have a way of bringing the campus community together on a common ground. From the stadium to personal residences, Campustown offers numerous places to watch the Fighting Illini play. For many, the spectator’s top choice will be Memorial Stadium. Students can buy season ticket passes and sit in the Block I section to cheer on their team. For many, the atmosphere of Memorial Stadium simply cannot be beat. For those who still want to watch the game in a more social atmosphere, campus bars and restaurants are always a popular choice. Since the bar entry age at most bars on campus is 19, a wide range of students choose to wake up early for pregame festivities and then stay

throughout the game. Most sororities and fraternities participate in the tradition of “block� where chapters pair up and rent areas at popular bars on campus such as Joe’s Brewery, The Red Lion or KAM’S. Block starts when the bars open, and the Illini spirit never runs out. Other bars such as Murphy’s Pub and Legends Bar and Grill offer a full menu as well as many TVs to watch the game. All campus bars tend to fill up very early on game day, so it’s best to arrive early to find a good spot to watch the game, or beat the crowd when ordering food. Besides bars or the actual stadium, many chose to watch the Illini play in the comfort of their own home. Apartment viewing parties are always popular. Most University housing floors have common areas with large TVs as well. With the never-ending options of where to watch the game, Saturday mornings and afternoon on campus are always guaranteed to provide good times and lasting memories that will last for years to come.

Illinois' Josh Ferguson dives for a touchdown during the game against Cincinnati at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 7.

A brief history of Fighting Illini football on some of the most important football players of all time. Zuppke coached the consensus greatest college football player of all time: Red Grange. The Galloping Ghost, commemorated by a statue at the west entrance of Memorial Stadium, did things no other football player had ever done — dominating as a rusher, receiver, returner and pass-thrower. Later, he — a pro football hall of famer — and another Illinois football player, George Halas — the future coach, founder and owner of the Chicago Bears — helped legitimize the NFL. The greatest linebacker of all time, Dick Butkus, also went to Illinois, dominating for the Illini and later for the Bears before becoming a member of the pro football Hall of Fame and being named the most feared tackler of all time by the NFL. Butkus and Grange are the only football players to have their numbers retired by the University of Illinois.

F

ootball as we know it was invented at the University of Illinois, though you may not know it if you went to Memorial Stadium on Game Day. In 1913, Robert Zuppke took over as head coach of the Illinois football team. When he left in 1941 — 28 years and four national championships later — the game looked drastically different. Football players huddled to call plays and the flea flicker became a playground favorite because of Zuppke. Even with his inventions to the game, Zuppke’s greatest contribution may have been his influence

Editor-in-chief

In the 1980s, Illinois became a feared football program again. The top overall draft pick in 1990 was Illinois quarterback Jeff George. In the 2000s, Illinois made two BCS bowls — the 2002 Sugar Bowl and 2008 Rose Bowl. Illinois had more first round draft picks in the late 2000s than any other Big Ten school. Today, the product on the field doesn’t match the legacies of Butkus and Grange, but the side of the pressbox still commemorates their successes, listing the national and conference championships, as well as their retired numbers. While Illinois may not have the best football team, its historical legacy is among the best.
