Student groups perform, recruit on Quad Day

Various performances give students a chance see what each group is about BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

On Sunday, the University’s Quad will be packed with hundreds of multi-colored booths and thousands of boisterous students. Add to that the sounds of several student groups and organizations that will be performing on Quad Day. Performances will take place onstage in Anniversary Plaza near the Union. Here is a small sample of what to look forward to:

TASC Special Ops: Chinese yo-yo performance A division of the Taiwanese American Students Club, TASC Special Ops specializes in the art of the Chinese yo-yo. The gadget has two parts — a set of drumstick-like sticks joined with a string and an hourglass-shaped segment, which spins along the string. TASC Special Ops members will show off their yo-yo skills on Quad Day. “We focus on choreographing our performance to the music,” said Eddie Lu, captain of the group and junior in Engineering. In addition to performing at Quad Day, Special Ops makes appearances at various other events during the year, such as Filipino Americans Coming Together and Asian American Association events. “We actually hold workshops throughout the year in which anyone can just come and play with our yo-yos,” Lu said. “We give free lessons basically ... and by the end of the two-hour (workshop), most people can spin the yo-yo and do at least a couple tricks.” Lu said that the Special Ops members look forward to Quad Day, as it is a prime opportunity to gain exposure for the art.

Ghungroo Dance Company Indian dance The Ghungroo Dance Company will blend culture and the arts to create an entertaining dance show during Quad Day this year.

“We are a nonprofit, non-competition dance team, and we promote Indian cultural awareness,” said Sravya Gourishetti, the group’s internal president and junior in LAS. Gourishetti is one of the roughly 30 members in the Ghungroo Dance Company, about 11 of who will be performing on Quad Day. “We try to get a section (of the dance) from each style that we want to do,” she said. “Like a section of Bhangra, a little section of hip-hop, a little section of Bollywood — maybe two of those.” The five-to-10 minute routine will take place on the stage near the Union, in addition to the group’s booth, which will be amidst the Quad Day hustle and bustle. Ghungroo Dance Company is hoping to recruit new members, and even welcomes those with little to no experience. According to Gourishetti, as long as the student has a willingness to learn, it will be worth the practice and hard work.

The Rip Chords Women’s Acapella Well before the hit fi lm “Pitch Perfect” became popular, the Rip Chords was singing its way through college here at the University. The all-female Acapella group has been around since 1992, and this year’s members will display their harmonization skills on Quad Day. “(The Quad Day performance) is just a short preview of what we do, so we can get people to come audition for us,” said Mabel Seto, business manager of the Rip Chords and senior in LAS. “Quad Day is probably our main way of recruiting new members.” The performance will last about 10 minutes, and it will feature songs that the group used last year, according to Seto. They focus on contemporary tunes and choose new ones every year. In addition to the Quad Day performance, the approximately 15 members perform throughout the year at campus diversity

Bellydance UIUC Middle Eastern dancing The members of Bellydance UIUC will be busy exercising their stomach muscles as they perform at Quad Day this year. “Our goal would just be to expose more people to the art that is belly dance,” said Kaitlin Tyler, an instructor with the group and graduate student in Engineering. “Also with that, just show that anyone can do it. It doesn’t matter what size, what age, or ... gender, either; we’ve defi nitely had men come to the classes.” Bellydance UIUC provides free belly dancing lessons to anyone who wants to give it a try. “It’ll be hard to miss us because we’ll be in our full costume, so we’ll be all sparkly and jingly,” she said, laughing. During the Quad Day performance, members of last year’s classes will dance mainly to Middle Eastern music, as is custom with belly dancing. However, the performance troupe has also danced to music from Shakira, Lindsey Stirling’s dubstep violin and other musical varieties. Bellydance UIUC will also have a booth on Quad Day to explain more about when the classes are and how to join.

No Strings Attached Co-Ed Acapella Bringing a myriad of jazz paired with

LAW 301: INTRO TO LAW The fundamentals of law and legal reasoning with an exploration of the law as a tool for social engineering.

pop, ballad and country tunes, No Strings Attached dips into a wide variety of music styles. This co-ed Acapella group will exhibit their vocal stylings in the form of a Quad Day mini-show on Anniversary Plaza. “We have an updated collection of past songs that No Strings Attached groups have sung,” said Sarah Altshuler, president of the organization and junior in FAA. “What we really like to do is encourage the group members to arrange songs ... it’s really special because a certain member will arrange a song and the entire group sings it, and you get to share it with an audience.” Quad Day will only be a sampling of what the group has to offer. However, No Strings Attached also performs at several different events throughout the year, including Acatoberfest, a multiAcapella group event hosted by No Strings Attached, as well as high schools, middle schools, elementary schools and even other colleges. The No Strings Attached members encourage new members to sign up, as auditions take place the fi rst week of classes. These are only five of the clubs and organizations that will perform on Quad Day. While roaming through the maze of booths, make sure to keep an eye on Anniversary Plaza and Foellinger Auditorium for other performances throughout the day.

How to make the most of your 1st Quad Day MIKAYLA OSTENDORF Staff writer

DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

The right clubs can jump-start your career lon Delta and I become a member of English Student Council. The Daily Illini has helped me advance my writing skills, Epsilon Delta brings in guest speakers who have experience in the education field and English Student Council provides me with a network of fellow English majors.

MARA SHAPIRO Staff writer

hether it is through opportunities in the Greek system, jobs on campus or the manyregistered student organizations, there truly is a group for each student at the University. While it may sound fun to get involved in an RSO such as 104 Degrees: The Illini Hot Tub Club, which is devoted to the art of hot tubbing, it is also important to get involved with clubs that pertain to your major or career. As an English major with the hopes of applying into the secondary education program this semester, I made sure that during my freshman year I got involved with organizations that would benefit my future. I started writing for The Daily Illini, I joined the teaching organization Epsi-

Fueling your Future So why is it important to get involved with organizations that pertain to your major? The bottom line is that we are all at this school in the hopes of finding success in the workforce, and the major you choose will ultimately guide what you do in your career after graduation. Joining an RSO that connects to your major can only help you, as you will be provided with more tools than you could imagine. On the other hand, you may also find that an RSO will show you that the career you wish to pursue requires you to

switch your major, or maybe it is no longer the career you wish to have.

A Social Network RSOs that pertain to your major also provide a network of people. I know that at English Student Council, a major in English is valued, and the members understand what it is like to read a book in one night and finish the five-page essay the following night. Joining an RSO that pertains to your major will allow you to connect with people who you will probably end up having at least one class with in your time at the University. They’ll be able to talk to you about your classes, give recommendations and provide overall support. These people may also be your coworkers, or even your boss, in five or 10 years.

It begins with Quad Day A great way to find RSOs that relate to your major

is by showing up to Quad Day. Most organizations will have booths with members manning them, eagerly awaiting your questions. For those interested in a career in business, there are many business fraternities to join. For journalism students, the various newspapers, magazines and radio stations will all be looking for talented new writers, graphic artists and personalities. For the many engineers, there are various organizations for the different branches of engineering. Even if it is difficult to find your desired RSO at Quad Day, students can always ask their advisors for suggestions or look up RSOs online. Ultimately, it is important to get involved on campus, and it’s best to do so early. It will only provide you with more opportunities for your future.

ere’s a guide to get you through your first Quad Day — an experience not fully understood until you see it for yourself. Make the day uniquely your own by following these basic steps. 1. Wake up early (10 a.m. — oh my!). Grab a cup of coffee and lace up your most comfortable pair of shoes. The key is to look professional, yet feel comfortable. Your feet will thank you after four hours of conquering the quadrangle. Bring a bag large enough to hold the handouts that clubs will give you. 2. Go solo. I know, I know, but your friend will inevitably have different interests than you, and you don’t want to be rushed from the space rocket club booth just as the conversation gets juicy. 3. Approach tables with a smile and good posture. The key is to come off as confident — this is your first impression with some of the leaders of the group you wish to join. They could even have influence over your acceptance into the club (no pressure). With that in mind, speak professionally, with no “likes” or “omgs.” 4. Be proactive. Ask to be put on the email list so you can learn about club meeting times and where to find an application if there is one. But, that being said, write your name down on club email lists only if you are actually considering joining. Trust me on this

one. Or don’t, and spend the rest of your four years receiving emails from clubs you don’t even remember signing up for. 5. Go to tables that relate to these three things: your academics, your hobbies and/or your dreams. If you are a science major but have always wondered if you would like speech, pay a visit to a communications table. Your options are basically limitless, and Quad Day is a perfect time to follow the dreams you were unable to when you had fewer opportunities in high school. If you love to sing, stop by the choir tables, not the water polo group. Focus on the activities you want to make an impression on. 6. After four hours of conversing and exploring, it’s time to breathe. Now you can meet up with your friends (roomie separation anxiety, ugh!). Grab some Cocomero on Green Street, discuss your finds and make sure to empty your bag back in your dorm and re-evaluate.

How RSOs can gain a new following on Quad Day BY ALICE SMELYANSKY ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

Free Frisbees, beer koozies and fl iers promoting club pizza parties may be found lining the lawn on Quad Day, representing the great abundance of opportunities open to students who are ready to join a registered student organization. With so many booths offering incentives to draw a crowd (arguably the most direct line to a new student’s heart), how can other RSOs compete? While promotions

and events may create the initial attraction, creating a lasting connection may take some more work. The key to standing out, according to Jessica Mondello, junior in ACES, is to be “pushy, but an enthusiastic pushy.” After passing out fl iers for the Illini Rotaract Club last year, Mondello said, she experienced a sense of competition between Illini Rotaract and other RSOs that were handing out freebies nearby.

“My advice on getting people to join is having a conversation with them,” she said. “They won’t remember one out of the 50 fliers they get, but they will remember a conversation. You cannot just stand there silently holding a flier.” Rachel Miller, 2014 University alumna, agreed with Mondello’s statement, having worked with the Illini Rotaract Club to recruit new members for three years. “As an organization look-

ing for new members at Quad Day, you have to know what your club has to offer, and fi nd a way of drawing attention and very quickly explaining your offer to anyone who walks by,” she said. Though Miller will not be at this year’s Quad Day, she said she left her former RSO with a few bits of recruitment advice, including a practiced pitch delivered with plenty of enthusiasm and an emphasis on the follow-up connection. “While Quad Day and the

initial impression is important, the follow-up connection that you have with potential members, whether it’s through an info session, meeting, group activity or social event, is the most important thing for recruiting new members,” Miller said. She added that there isn’t really anything an RSO could do that discourages students from joining, as long as the effort to find new members is present. Another tactic, accord-

ing to Kadambari Jain, 2014 alumna and former vice president of Pre-Dental Club, is to let new students know right away what the RSO can do for them. “Whether it is to make friends or to further experience in a profession, letting people know that you can help them reach their goals seems to be a great strategy,” Jain said.

Your college experience starts with Quad Day ANNABETH CARLSON Staff writer

As

Quad Day approaches, I cannot help but think of my experience last year. I was 18 years old, a freshman, and my ultimate goal was to be as involved as possible. From all of the clubs in my major to the social sororities of Greek Life, Quad Day seemed like the end-all, be-all event that would determine my future (or at least the next four years). In my mind, Quad Day was like a career fair. I planned to come completely prepared with a business-casual outfit and multiple copies of my resume in my bag. But the night before, I received an email from The Spread, an online magazine at the University. I had applied to write for the magazine earlier that summer, and had since accepted a writing position there. The email instructed all writers to meet at the magazine’s Quad Day table. Being the overachiever that I am, I showed up to the table 10 minutes before anyone else. When the president and other members of the club showed up, I noticed they were older and wore T-shirts and other casual attire. I already felt overdressed and out of place. The other members were friendly, and after brief introductions, they told me what I could do to help set up their Quad Day table. I remember thinking there was no way that I could work a table as a freshman, but before I could say anything, crowds of students appeared on the Quad and seemed to multiply by the minute. Many approached our table and began asking me questions about how the magazine club worked and my opinion on journalism classes at Illinois. I was confused. Although I was on the other side of the booth, I had the same questions that people were asking me. Most of my replies sounded like, “Oh I don’t know, I just joined,” and “I’m only a freshman, I haven’t taken that class yet.” Soon, the other members overheard my confusion and laughed when they realized I was only a freshman. They were very impressed by my willingness to help but felt that I should take advantage of my first Quad Day. They promised to let me know when they were meeting next. Relieved, I said goodbye to my new friends in the club and left the table to begin my exploration of the Quad … like a normal freshman. The event helped me get acquainted with the other students, and I ended up learning some valuable Quad Day tips from the older members. My experience, though anything but conventional, just goes to show that you never know what you will find on Quad Day. At a huge university like Illinois, there are endless opportunities for everyone to get involved. Quad Day is the perfect place to get started.

First Quad Day fostered bond between students-faculty body BY STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

Unlike the current model of a registered student organization fair, the first Quad Day was an all-day event that featured a rock concert, talent show and other festivities that lasted until 1 a.m. On Friday, Sept. 10, 1971, the first Quad Day took root in the midst of “great social upheaval” on campus, according to Willard Broom, a 1972 alumnus in Media and former Associate Dean of Students. At the time, relations between students and the administration were strained, due to war tensions and brewing civil rights activity, Broom said. “Young students pushed for reestablishment and challenged the old ways of doing things,” he said. “That obviously does not lead to people spending more time trying to learn how to work better together.” However, Dan Perrino — the Dean of Student Programs and Services at the time — took the initiative to create a collaborative team of two students and three administrators to remedy this conflict. “He had this idea at the beginning of the school year, what he called the ‘Day on the Quad,’ that would be like the county fair that would

allow everyone to see what was at the University,” Broom said. Broom and Mark Herriot, fellow Class of ’72 alumnus, served as program coordinators and worked alongside administrators Hugh Satterlee and David Bechtel. Satterlee was the Dean of Students and Bechtal the Director of the Career Development and Placement Office at the time. The hope for this event was to foster connections between students and faculty while also helping “students discover the tone of the campus in a no-pressure, very informal atmosphere,” Perrino told The Daily Illini on Aug. 3, 1971. But this opportunity was extended beyond the student-faculty body. Everyone received an invitation — including state legislators, Champaign-Urbana Board of Trustee members, politicians and other distinguished community guests. The event opened with a 30-minute Altgeld Hall chimes concert, and exhibits were open for visitation from noon to 5 p.m., according to an article published on September 10, 1971 in The Daily Illini. Festivities lasted until 1 a.m., including a studentfaculty volleyball game, talent show and musical performances, the article stated.

Due to the event’s success, Quad Day continued the next year and has since developed into a University tradition. Since its beginning, the attendance of Quad Day has surpassed 12,000 visitors with more than 70 0 registered booths, said Dementro Powell, Assistant Director of the Organization Fund Advisory Board. This year’s Quad Day will be open to the public on Sunday, Aug. 24, from noon to 4 p.m. For the first time, Quad Day visitors will be able to purchase food and beverages while exploring hundreds of booths, Powell said. Featured food vendors will include Sbarro, Latte Da Cafe, Wendy’s, Einstein Bros. Bagel, Jamba Juice, Espresso Royale and Bevande Coffee. And yet, despite changes in schedule and programs, one aspect has remained consistent throughout Quad Day’s 43-year legacy: the vision of bringing the campus and local community together to welcome incoming students to their new home. “There was commitment to do it and obviously that commitment has not gone away,” Broom said.

Quad Day differs for old, new RSOs

Newer RSOs may struggle with finances, numbers and student attention BY DECLAN HARTY ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

The start of the school year brings new students, new classes and, most importantly, new clubs. Whether the RSO is a newly established club or has deep roots on campus, the hundreds of organizations that will be present on Sunday will attempt to make connections to potential new members in a variety of ways. For Travis Hamilton, senior in Engineering and president of Varsity Men’s Glee Club, the perfect way to appeal to new members is with a strong sense of

tradition. The Varsity Men’s Glee Club was founded in 1886 and is the oldest RSO on campus. The allmale singing group tours and performs about four concerts per year. “You know what to expect with all of the tradition,” he said. “I think seeing an organization that has been on campus for so long, that has stuck around and has traditions, has its own bit of legacy, I think really shows potential members that this is a good and solid group.” On the other hand, newly established organizations can sometimes find it difficult to stand out from the clubs that are more

fi rmly rooted in the campus community. The Next Step, a Latin dance group, is one example. Alejandra Berber, senior in LAS, founded The Next Step, and is now is president of the group. Berber said the organization struggled with fi nances last year, and thus found it difficult to promote the club to new members. “It was hard matching up to people around at other tables,” Berber said. “As I was starting the organization, I didn’t have the money to actually get all of that to make (the booth) look nice; it is hard to stand

out there otherwise.” In addition to fi nancial struggles, other new RSOs have found that they don’t have enough new members to man the booths in their the fi rst year, leaving them ill-equipped to recruit. “Last year, I think we had six people working our booth,” said David Dahowski, junior in LAS and president of the ILL Harmonic. Like The Next Step, this year will be the RSO’s second on campus. “We had to be there all day. We decided to keep everybody at the booth at all times with intermittent breaks for lunch and stuff,” he said.

Despite the challenges he’s found as a member of ILL Harmonic, said he thinks the Quad Day planners “have a formula down” and the event “has been very relevant in the past” for new students. Berber agrees, and said that she thinks the event brings a one-of-a-kind platform for both students and RSOs. “It is a bigger region ... where everyone is more interested,” she said. “More people, more of a crowd, more attention.”

“I think seeing an organization that has been on campus for so long, that has stuck around and has traditions, has its own bit of legacy, I think really shows potential members that this is a good and solid group.”

SENIOR IN ENGINEERING

Registering an RSO can be stressful but rewarding Starting an organization may seem daunting, but the rewards are innumerable BY TAYLOR LUCERO STAFF WRITER

There are more than 1,100 registered student organizations on campus, and University students, faculty and staff can add their own clubs to the list through the Office of Registered Organizations using the website “CollegiateLink.” To register an RSO, preliminary requirements must be met, including having a minimum of five initial members. Dementro Powell, assistant director of the Organization Fund Advisory Board at the Illini Union, said most registration applications are accepted, but some can be rejected. Some conditions of rejection include the potential organizations not following the guidelines or putting its members’ health or safety at risk. The president and treasurer of each organization are also required to take a quiz and get a perfect score when registering and re-registering each year, even if the same people have held the positions for consecutive years. Even though there is no limit to the number of groups on campus, Powell said, the University tries to avoid having organizations that have a similar purpose. “Obviously sometimes that happens to where there are different groups doing the same thing, but something else may be a little different,” Powell said. “Maybe they travel when another group doesn’t, or something of the sort.” The name of the organization also has restrictions. Specific rules on group names are listed on the Illini Union’s website. For example, the organization cannot include “University of Illinois,” “University” or its abbreviations in the name. However, “at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign” is acceptable. It took Aaron Chen, junior in LAS, two to three months to have a chapter of the

National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) recognized at the University. This organization raises awareness for mental health. Chen said that a challenging part of the registration process was finding enough members who were interested and motivated to join the group. “Sometimes it might seem a little daunting to start an organization, especially since there’s already so many different organizations on campus, but there’s always a group of people on campus that will be interested in what you’re going to start,” Chen said, “especially since this campus is so big.” The length of time for organization approval also varies. David “Boots” Fulton, 2014 alumnus, said the Pickin’ Illini (or Folk and Roots Club) was approved in 24 hours. Fulton and his brother, Daniel, also a 2014 alumnus, decided to register the folk and bluegrass music group because of their passion for the genre. According to Fulton, registering was simple, but getting a good group of people together was challenging. “It is important to make sure you have a team that will be dedicated to make the organization reach its highest potential,” Fulton said in an email. People who would like to create an organization that includes University and non-University members should contact the Office of Facility Management and Scheduling to register as a Campus-Community group. Specific step -by-step instructions on registering and re-registering an organization on CollegiateLink can be found on the Illini Union’s website. Registering a meeting place for an RSO on Quad Day is already closed for 2014, but those interested in starting a group can still apply. The full RSO handbook can be found on the Illini Union’s website.

Quad Day unique for foreign students

More than 600 clubs, teams can create overwhelming experience BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER

As one of the biggest Welcome Week events, Quad Day is often the best first impressions of the University and the campus for incoming freshmen and international students alike. Students arrive well before noon to attempt to sort through the 600-plus organizations the University has to offer, and this year’s Quad Day — now in its 43rd year — will certainly be no different. While some incoming students might be familiar with the concept of Quad Day, international students typically get their first glimpse of American college culture on this day.

One such student who was left impressed by the event was Ben D’hooge, an exchange student at the University for the Fall 2013 semester. While studying at the University’s College of Business, D’hooge was able to take in the event from a new perspective. “The concept of a Quad Day was completely new for me, so I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived,� he said. “When I did arrive at the Quad with some other international students, I was kind of overwhelmed by the amount of people and the amount of different clubs that were available to join.� D’hooge said that while

he may have been a little overwhelmed, the event is pertinent for international students. “It makes it a lot easier for us to get in contact with all the different clubs, which in turn helps to integrate yourself on campus,� he said. This is an opinion shared by Shaurya Dhir, a native of India and sophomore in FAA, who was also left impressed by last year’s Quad Day. “Quad Day was an interesting setup. I liked the idea and met some nice people,� he said. “I was expecting to meet new people, learn new stuff and have a good time, which I (did).� Raunaq Jaisinghani,

another native of India and junior in Business, agreed and said the Quad Day experience is integral to Welcome Week. “(Quad Day) is extremely beneficial for us international students as we are entering a brand new system of education on international soils,â€? Jaisinghani said. “(It) was a brand new experience for me, as I was exposed to so many different things all in one ‌ I would still go for each and every Quad Day to check out all the new developments made on campus and all the new clubs coming up.â€? D’hooge described the event as comparable to impressions he already had about going to college

in the U.S. “As a Belgian college student, the only image we get from American universities is what we see in movies, and I found it to be pretty close to reality,� he said. For D’hooge, it was the variety of clubs at Quad Day that impressed him the most. “In Belgium, for example, we are not really used to having all these different clubs and sports teams available in high school or college, so it really made me and the other Belgian students adapt to life at an American university,� he said. “We don’t have anything that’s even close to Quad Day as we don’t have that many clubs and sports

teams. And for the ones we do have, you kind of need to find out yourself how to contact them.� Dhir, on the other hand, says he isn’t new at all to the concept of a recruitment event similar to Quad Day. “During some festivals (back home) people set up stalls and advertise different communities and clubs, which is a setup not too different from Quad Day,� he said. “Although Quad Day was a good event, I don’t think it necessarily helped. The transition was easy enough — everything was done.�

Cultural organizations provide students a home away from home BY EARN SAENMUK STAFF WRITER

With nearly 9,000 fulltime international students enrolled in the University last spring, there is no question that the campus boasts a diverse student body. And, while being away from home in a different environment and culture, students may find it difficult to adapt. For many students, Quad Day provides the opportunity to explore not only clubs and teams, but also various cultures. Several booths feature cultural clubs to allow students of the same heritage to come together. Tut Tangtragulcharoen, the president of the Thai Student Association, said the organization allows Thai students who are receiving their education away from home to adjust to their new environment. Tangtragulcharoen, a senior in Engineering and an international student, said the club has not only helped him meet people who share the same cultural values, but has also given him life-long good friends. “They are more like my extended family,� Tangtragulcharoen said. “We study together and hang out together a lot.� He added that the organization hosts events and activities throughout the semester, both to promote the Thai culture to those who are unfamiliar with it and also to meet with Thai

students. Thailand is not the only country that will be represented at Quad Day. Many student organizations encompass minority and ethnic groups, including Asian Americans, African Americans and Native Americans, among others. The Asian Pacific American Coalition (APAC) is an organization that brings together 23 Asian American organizations to promote Asian American issues through leadership training and meetings, according to Marc Chua, APAC’s treasurer and junior in LAS. “We promote awareness on campus and encourage unity within the Asian American community,� he said. “I really like meeting other Asians and Asian Americans across campus and being able to interact with individuals who have interest. “ Kayla Smith, senior in LAS, said that because of her interest in East Asian cultures, she has joined several international groups related to them, and that she has found these organizations welcoming to members of other backgrounds as well. “I think most of them would welcome foreigners, too,� she said.

Quad Day coordinator discusses expectations, evolution of the event BY SAMANTHA ROTHMAN

BE AWARE. BE ALERT. BE SEEN.

STAFF WRITER

The Daily Illini sat down with Dementro Powell, assistant director of the Illini Union and the coordinator of Quad Day, to discuss what students can look forward to during Quad Day 2014, which will be held on Sunday.

Daily Illini: Can you tell me about your specific role in the planning of Quad Day? What types of tasks are you in charge of?

Dementro Powell: Ultimately, I am responsible for the entire event. My role consists of getting the event started with registration, working with marketing to get it advertised, troubleshooting, responding to questions, approving spaces and what goes out on the Quad, along with all

administrative duties. I also oversee (everything as it) happens essentially with the assistance of different staff within the Student Programs & Activities Office. This is defi nitely a group effort that I could not, nor would I, want to do without my incredible team.

DI: How have you seen Quad Day evolve since you became coordinator?

DP: I have only been here for two years, and from what I can tell in those two years, not much has changed in terms of the formula other than the size has grown and we have more of the food vendors participating this year.

DI: Is there anything new and exciting to look forward to for Quad Day 2014? DP: The only new features are the added ven-

Food

DI: Is there a Quad Day booth that stands out to you? Perhaps for being exceptionally creative, funny or interesting? DP: No, but the demonstration area usually has exciting things to see such as racecars, chemistry exhibits and miniature golf activities. There are also performances from RSOs throughout the day. The Illini marching band opens up the event, so that is always good.

DI: What is your best advice for freshmen students attending their first Quad Day? How can

they make the most of the experience?

DP: Be prepared for large crowds and keep your phones charged in order to download the app that will provide you with the map of where all the organizations who registered on time are. Take the time to scope as many groups as you can, but know that Quad Day is not their only opportunity to contact groups. They can always go to Collegiatelink at illinois.collegiatelink.net to follow up on groups or search for others that may have been at Quad Day, but didn’t get to see them and would like to contact them.

Seniors seize last opportunity to try something new BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

While Quad Day, a sacred campus tradition, transforms freshmen and transfer students into active members of the University community, the day is anything but reserved to underclassmen. While bright-eyed and enthusiastic newcomers to the school wander the crowded Quad, signing up for Registered Student Organizations (RSO) that strike their fancy and collecting a lifetime supply of free Illini memorabilia, upperclassmen are the ones welcoming these new students to campus and making them feel at home. “I love the craziness of Quad Day,” said Lina Al-Chaar, senior in LAS. “It’s loud and crowded and it’s an opportunity to meet so many new people, especially when you’re working in a booth where you meet new people who have common interests.” While students swarm the Quad, upperclassman are usually the ones tending to the booths, reigning in a new generation of Illini to carry on legacies they spent their last three years forging. “I think it’s really fun to stand behind a booth on Quad Day, especially when it’s an organization you really care about,” Al-Chaar said. “Getting to meet new people, sharing my experiences and talking about the possibilities they can have being involved with the organization is awesome.” Al-Chaar is involved in many organizations on campus, and will split her time manning the various booths. Last year, Al-Chaar

was at the Avicenna Community Health Center RSO booth. It was the RSO’s first time at Quad Day and Al-Chaar said she really enjoyed getting people interested in the new organization. “Since I am the operations manager at the clinic, one of my duties is to stay in close touch with the RSO and get the word out on the many volunteering opportunities the clinic has for students,” she said. “I hope that I can leave that impression onto the incoming freshman who are interested in joining.” Although she said many upperclassmen may think that Quad Day is a dated tradition, AlChaar said she thinks it gets better every year. “Organizations are always trying to think of new ways to make their organization stand out, so it’s as if Quad Day becomes bigger and better as the years go by,” she said.

Theater groups take part in Quad Day, offer something new to try BY CARLY CHARLES STAFF WRITER

With the surplus of Frisbees, T-shirts and flyers that students receive on Quad Day, the variety of groups and organizations that are available to speak with are countless. But one special type of organization presents students opportunities that may not be available in other organizations: theatre companies. Two of campus’s theatre registered student organizations — The What You Will Shakespeare Company and the Penny Dreadful Players — will have booths on the Quad this year. And according to members of both groups, the booths may be a hard to miss for students. Of his first encounter with The What You Will Shakespeare Company, Matthew James Marquez, general manager of the organization and senior in FAA recalled, “they were the friendliest during Quad Day when I went there, and they were also the loudest.” But according to Marquez, it may not just be the group’s vocal present that will catch many students’ attentions. “You should expect us to be in good, Elizabethan costume,” he said. “Because we’re doing Julius Cesar, you can also expect a

couple of us to be wearing togas.” While togas might be more breathable, full Elizabethan dress on a stiflingly hot late August day in Champaign is certainly no small feat. The act of rehearsing for and putting on a play is generally a full, and sometimes quite rigorous, eight-week process; however, toward the start of the production process, members can expect to keep a very flexible schedule, as the group consists of members across many majors and outside commitments. Marquez said students do not need to worry about having an extensive background in Shakespeare to take part in The What You Will Shakespeare Company. According to Marquez, the theatre troupe prides itself in its ability to separate Shakespeare from the uppity, inaccessible vibe it often takes on in the classroom. “Just because Shakespeare is regarded as a high class event, doesn’t mean we have to make it that way,” he said. Marquez revealed that in the group’s history, the company has performed a production of “The Tempest” set in space. The What You Will Shakespeare Company’s first production this season is the

comedy “Twelfth Night” under the direction of Marquez. Auditions will be held next Wednesday, and rehearsals will begin the following week. The Penny Dreadful Players are another esteemed, student-run theatre company on campus, said Stephanie Svarz, managing director of the group and senior in FAA. The Penny Dreadful Players are a longstanding tradition, with this fall marking the start of its 22nd season. As the oldest student-run theatre troupe on campus, they perform a vast array of works, ranging from debut student scripts, to celebrated works such as Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” The story behind the company’s name is very representative of the plays they perform. “Penny Dreadfuls were periodicals that were published with short stories, plays, sometimes poetry, satire ... and it was not known for being very good,” Svarz said. She described the periodicals as a form of cheap entertainment of the past, comparable to a PEOPLE Magazine today. Despite any potential negative connotation with this type of publication, Svarz said, the organization strives to imitate the

A C-U Tradition 101 E. University Ave. 217 - 351 - 5974 www.dallasandco.com @DallasCo1234 facebook.com/dallasandco

magazines’ times of beauty. “Every once in awhile, something really beautiful and good could emerge out of the Penny Dreadful publication,” Svarz said. “We put on and put together the best of what we have from our student population.” In addition to performing well-known and hailed productions, the Penny Dreadful Players also perform a great deal of original student works, Svarz said. But within the beauty of their work, Svarz said, that the most rewarding thing for her is when she sees the members of the organization succeed. “I think the most rewarding thing for me is to see when people get it — to see that light bulb click,” she said. “I love seeing people get together, try things that they’ve never done, take risks and grow from it. “That’s what theatre is about.” Auditions for the Penny Dreadful Players will be held Sept. 9, from 6-10 p.m. in Gregory Hall. According to Svarz, no preparation is necessary, as they will consist of cold readings from the show.

Quad Day showcases popular student organizations BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Quad Day is returning on Sunday and will showcase all the different and diverse registered student organizations that the University has to offer. According to the Office of Registered Organizations, the University offers more than 1,100 RSOs. With all of the choices available to students, Quad Day can be a bit overwhelming. But there are a few organizations that consistently bring in a large crowd each year. For those who feel like they cannot find the right place to start on Quad Day, try checking out one of these popular organizations first:

October Lovers October Lovers is a fun, social club that gives students a chance to participate in all kinds of fall-related activities, according to Darragh McDermott, University graduate and former president of October Lovers, and the organization’s web profile. “October Lovers does always have a large and interested crowd,” McDermott said. Advertising some of the organization’s festivities, such as a trip to Curtis Orchard and Pumpkin Patch, a barn dance and a birthday party for anyone with an October birthday, is what attracts so many people to their booth, and to the organization, on Quad Day. With over 1,500 members on the October Lovers Facebook page, this organization is a hot spot among hundreds of booths at Quad Day.

Illinois Men’s Club Soccer According to Illinois Men’s Club Soccer’s co-Presidents Joe Gainer and Tom Homa, the RSO is a competitive club soccer organization split into two teams that provide students a chance to compete against hundreds of collegiate teams across the country. The club teams play against other teams in the league, and both Illinois teams have been very successful in recent years, according to Gainer and Homa. Each year, the organization has about 18 to 22 members. Homa said the reason that many students are interested in Illinois Men’s Club Soccer is due to high school soccer play-

ers wanting to continue the sport through college. “A lot of good high school soccer players want to play in college, but they are also looking for the classic college experience,” he said. “Our club teams give players the opportunity to play college soccer at a competitive level and still have a great college experience with other organizations on campus and their social lives. Our players have plenty of time to focus on school, participate in other organizations and Greek life.”

American Red Cross Club Whether it is due to students wanting to continue their volunteering through college, or because American Red Cross is a nationally-recognized and known organization, there is always a crowd around this booth at Quad Day. With their energized representatives and information about club activities, such as fundraising events, social events and disaster response training along with many other events, students have become interested in this organization. With approximately 190 likes on Facebook, the American Red Cross Club is definitely a popular organization to check out on Quad Day.

Alpha Kappa Psi

EDUMACATION

For the many students entering college with a business major, the professional business fraternities can provide opportunities for students that may help post-graduation. Due to Alpha Kappa Psi’s standing as the largest and oldest business fraternity on campus with over 130 active brothers, the notoriety of the organization continues to assist each year at Quad Day. Their website states that “being the largest means that you can tap a network of hundreds of alumni willing to help you reach your next goal...being the oldest business fraternity on campus means you get to be part of a storied tradition.” The organization’s popularity is in part due to the 100 percent rate of seniors graduating with a job, and more than 80 percent of students having a GPA over 3.5.

Green Street rises to new heights BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

Green Street, the heart of Campustown, might look a little different this school year. As construction continues, one can see that Green Street is going through a growth spurt. “Enrollment continues to increase, Parkland College enrollment is continuing to increase with their Pathways program, and there are more people with interest in living in Campustown,” said T.J.

est in retailers that want to be in Campustown.” The city is currently in the early design phases of reconstructing Green Street between Fourth and Neil streets. Blakeman said the construction should be completed in 2016.

McDonald’s The golden arches are returning to Green Street. McDonald’s will occupy a JSM Development space at 616 E. Green Street. Jill Guth, JSM director of commercial leasing and mar-

keting, said in an email that McDonald’s has been looking in the area for several years, and JSM was finally able to provide them with a space that accommodated their needs. This is not McDonald’s’ first appearance on Green Street. It had a location in the 600 block of Green Street up to the late 1990s, Guth said.

Skyline Tower Green Street has a new high-rise building this school year.

Skyline Tower, Bankier Apartments’ 14-story, 40 -apartment building, is located at 519 E. Green Street on the corner of Green and Sixth streets. Construction began June 1, 2013, and Bankier Apartments Property Manager Margie Colter said the finishing touches were put on the property prior to movein day. The first floor of Skyline Tower is occupied by Gameday Spirit. The building is also a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified building.

“It is a green building,” Colter said. “There’s a lot of really neat things going on in that building.” Skyline Tower includes green technology such as bamboo floors and vegetation on the roof to keep rainwater from the storm drains.

112 E. Green Street Roland Realty’s new Green Street property is ready for business. The building has five levels of apartments and one level of commercial space

on the ground level. Kurt Bulicek, leasing manager, said a Chinese restaurant and a convenience-liquor store are expected to occupy the space. “(The apartments) are ex tremely spacious,” Bulicek said. “They are definitely luxury apartments. A lot of places in town have granite counters, hardwood floors, unit washer and dryers, TVs, and this building has all of that.”

Tower management brings big changes UI’s rescinding Illini New general manager adds 3 scholarships, has high hopes for future of Salaita offer draws attention BY JOSHUA WINTERS STAFF WRITER

Many defend professor’s academic freedom, 1st amendment rights BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

By voiding an incoming professor’s job offer, the University contributed to an “alarming development” against academic freedom, said John Wilson, a member of the academic freedom committee in the Illinois American Association of University Professors (AAUP). According to documents released by the University on Wednesday, Steven Salaita, who was offered a position in the University’s American Indian studies program starting in August, had his job offer rescinded on Aug. 1. This was done following a string of politically charged tweets regarding the recent violence in Gaza. “Zionists: transforming ‘anti-semitism’ from something horrible into something honorable since 1948,” Salaita’s said in a tweet. “At this point, if (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu appeared on TV with a necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anyone be surprised?” he said in another tweet. In an emailed letter on August 1, Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Christophe Pierre, vice president for academic affairs, reminded Salaita the job offer was subject to Board of Trustees approval at its September meeting. “We believe that an affirmative board vote approving your appointment is unlikely. We therefore will not be in a position to appoint you to the faculty of the University,” Wise wrote in the letter. Wilson, editor of Illinois Academe, the AAUP’s publication, said that regardless of the wording of the tweets, it’s an encroachment on Salaita’s academic freedom to rescind the offer.

“Academic decisions, like hiring a professor, should be based on academic criteria. That means you look at a person’s research, teaching and similar kinds of academic qualities,” he said. “What you don’t do is look at their political views and what they tweet about.” Wilson is not alone, as more than 15,000 people by press time have signed a petition on Change.org demanding the University reverse its action. Additionally, about 2,400 academics at universities across the country have signed statements saying they refuse to engage with the University until Salaita is reinstated. “It’s not just his academic freedom we have to worry about - it’s the academic freedom of everyone on campus as well,” Wilson said. “Everyone on a campus should be free to express their opinions on politics and not be punished for it.” Baher Azmy, the legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights, has taken an interest in the case and is advising Salaita on legal avenues. He said they’ve identified three serious legal violations. “One is the basic principle of contract law: you can’t offer someone employment, have that person rely on it to the extent that Professor Salaita did and withdraw it at the last moment,” he said. “Second is his first amendment rights ... finally and most importantly, they have violated the principles of academic freedom.” Wilson said the University’s decision plays into an ongoing trend in higher education to regulate social media. He cited a case in which a collection of public universities in Kansas

Illini Tower has a new general manager, and he has big plans for the building’s future. Roy Myles and Campus Living Villages (CLV), the company that owns and manages Illini Tower, has already introduced three new scholarships to be offered by the residence hall, each valued at $10,800. He proposed the new scholarships to CLV to help incoming students who are struggling with financial problems. To Myles, these students are “the best and brightest” and deserve a chance at a college education, no matter their financial situation. “That’s our mission,” Myles said. “To create a successful journey for students.” Two of the scholarships will be awarded to international students coming to the University, and the third will be given to a female engineering student chosen by the University organizations Women in Engineering and the Morrill Engineering Program. Myles initiated the schol-

arships after noticing the high number of housing applicants Illini Tower was receiving from the students involved in those University organizations. In addition to the new scholarships, Myles has big plans for the future of Illini Tower, which draw from his experience in the hospitality industry. Soon after graduating from the University of Wisconsin — Stout, where he was a resident advisor for two years, Myles was employed by the hotel company Marriott. Over the course of two decades, he worked as a general manager for Marriott and Hilton hotel companies. In 2005, Myles moved to Champaign for a new job and soon fell in love with the town. When a recruiter reached out to him over LinkedIn to offer him a position as Illini Tower’s general manager, he jumped at the chance. Myles believes his success in the hospitality industry will carry over into his newest career. “It’s almost identical,” Myles responded when asked if there were any par-

allels between operating a hotel and operating a private certified housing unit. He explained that in order to successfully manage a hotel, one must be able to work in a diverse, multicultural environment and have strong conflict resolution skills. These attributes, he continued, are especially useful when overseeing the day-to-day operations of University housing. All of Myles’ goals for his first year as Illini Tower’s general manager stem from his desire to help new students move from high school to college by providing a “great, safe, fun living environment that is focused on education, learning (and) development.” He believes that private housing like Illini Tower can make this a reality. “Our goal is to help those students coming out of high school into college successfully transition into the college environment,” Myles said. “It’s almost like going from the semi-pros into the pros in football.” Myles’ drive to create a positive living environment for students made him a per-

Suburban Express owner charged with electronic harassment BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER

Dennis Toeppen, owner of Suburban Express, has been charged in Lake County with two counts of electronic harassment after allegedly harassing customers online in incidents on Sept. 23, 2013, and Jan. 10, 2014. Toeppen was arrested in Champaign County last month after a former customer complained that Toeppen had posted rude comments regarding him and another customer on Reddit. He appeared in Lake County Court Aug. 8 for his arraignment, pleading not guilty. Shortly after his arrest, Suburban Express re-filed five of its 126 tort or contract damage lawsuits on July 17 in Cook County. These law-

suits were originally filed in Ford County and dismissed by Judge Steve Pacey in July 2013. Of these five lawsuits, one has been re-filed against Jeremy Leval, now a University alumnus. Leval rode Suburban Express on March 31, 2013, and confronted a driver, who was not directly employed by the company, regarding his alleged offensive language toward an unidentified international student. The incident later went viral on social media, which sparked public awareness of the company’s lawsuits against other students. The re-filed lawsuit asks for $523.57 in damages. The lawsuit alleges that Leval violated the company’s terms of servic-

fect hire for CLV, and his early achievements as Illini Tower’s general manager have already earned him praise from the company. “We look for someone that really is focused on delivering a great student experience and also can deliver great university partnerships for us,” said Kevin Bradt, CEO of Campus Living Villages in the United States. “He’s outstanding,” said Mark Harries, assistant vice president of operations with CLV. “I could not have dreamed of a better general manager for the property.” Harries said that the general manager must coordinate and manage the dining, maintenance and administrative staff that work in Illini Tower. “(To) have all the pieces work well together, you have to have a conductor that understands how the machine works,” he said. To Myles, private housing should focus on providing students choices; for example, making accommodations for students with

ILLINI TOWER specific religious beliefs. However, while private housing may possess unique features that appeal to some students, Myles believes it should act as a complement to University housing, not as a competitor. Myles sees Illini Tower as currently being in a transition period, especially regarding the age of its occupants. The vast majority of Illini Tower’s residents are freshmen, with the exception of one floor of upperclassmen. He said he wants to see more students return to Illini Tower after their freshman year on campus, as well as attract more upperclassmen to the building. While students do not always choose to live a second or third year in a residence hall, Myles said it can provide students with additional resources, like in-house dining and meal plans and a comfortable community that they would not receive in an apartment or townhouse. Myles is optimistic about his first year at the University of Illinois. Even though his job can become hectic from time to time, he loves the work that he does. “They tell you when you’re a student, ‘When you do something for a living, make sure it’s something you love to do’ ... They say 70 percent of people are doing a job they like, but it’s not what they love to do; I love what I do.�

“It would be logical to assume that someone who signs a complaint the day after he’s arrested and resurrects a case that has not been heard of for over a year and suddenly reappears — identical facts, no difference, same lawsuit — you tell me,� Leval said. “We don’t leave our common sense out the door when we practice law or lay articles.� George Bellas, Suburban Express’ attorney, said the timing is purely coincidental because the period of limitations had been running out. He said there is a presumption of innocence in any criminal charge. “That’s all those are — allegations,� he said. A case has also been re-fi led against Manfred Kubler, junior in LAS, and his mother, Laurie Casas, for delaying a bus on Jan. 13, 2013. Kubler said he needed to retrieve a backpack, which contained an EpiPen, from his mother’s car after he had boarded his bus. After retrieving the bag, Toeppen asked Kubler to board another bus at the stop after he had sat down. He com-

plied, but after learning that the second bus arrived in Champaign an hour later than the first bus, Kubler was concerned he would not be able to retrieve his luggage, which he said contained his nebulizer and other important medicines, on arrival. He said the fi rst bus began to roll earlier than its planned departure time, but the driver stopped as Kubler walked toward it, inviting him to re-board. Following an altercation between Toeppen, Casas and Kubler after re-boarding, Kubler said Toeppen retrieved his luggage from the first bus’ undercarriage, hitting his mother with the door, and called the police on the two of them. “The part that was so outrageous is that (my son) did not delay the bus,� Casas said. “He was back on the bus before the other bus even left.� In an April 30, 2013, statement from Toeppen, he said that Kubler was told that if he got off the bus, which had already started rolling, he would have to board another bus. After he got off the bus, the bus

was released and Toeppen began to make arrangements to hold his bag in Champaign. Kubler then ran into the street and stopped the bus from moving. Toeppen asked Kubler to board the new bus and Kubler refused. “At no point was Manfred ‘yelled at’ and at no point were profanities used in dealing with Manfred,� Toeppen wrote in an email to The Daily Illini. He noted that Kubler was provided with a refund, and he was asked to fi nd another mode of transportation in the future. “Suburban Express has a legal right to enforce its contractual obligations and to prevent fraud from being perpetrated upon Suburban Express by its adult customers,� said Bellas. Toeppen will appear for his pretrial on the charges of electronic harassment Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. in Lake County Court.

University alumna gives back through Peace Corps International programs offer unparalleled experiences for students BY ALEX SWANSON STAFF WRITER

University alumna Jennifer Rowley resides in Managua, Nicaragua, where she’s training for a two-year service period with the Peace Corps as an English education volunteer. Rowley remembered listening to a presentation from a Peace Corps recruiter while she was in high school. Although she said she believes the presenter did not give enough credit to the Peace Corps, she said she still felt herself attracted to the idea. “It was kind of like the peaceful version of the military,� said Rowley, who graduated from the University in May. “I wanted to give back to my country in a way that was more apt to the skills that I had, instead of the military.� Jessica Mayle, a public affairs specialist for the Midwest region of Peace Corps, spoke about the purpose of the Peace Corps. “The Peace Corps is really all about making a difference in the lives of the people served, in communities overseas, in the lives of the volunteers themselves and then back in the United States when the volunteers return home,� Mayle said. On Aug. 12, Rowley flew from Chicago to Washington, D.C., for a 24-hour orientation. Then, she took a flight to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Upon arrival, Rowley and other volunteers left on a three-

day retreat to help adjust to Nicaraguan life. Mayle said one of the biggest challenges for volunteers is cultural acclimation; however, the Peace Corps offers training to combat culture shock. Rowley will spend three months in Managua with a temporary host family for technical training. She’l l likely take Spa nish language classes, a culture class and classes on how to effectively teach English in Nicaraguan schools. After her training, she will be relocated to another area of Nicaragua with a permanent host family for her two years of service. In 2016, she will return to the United States where she intends to become a foreign service officer. She said she hopes to serve as a U.S. diplomat, live in a foreign country and keep peace relations with the U.S. Rowley said her experience at the University helped encourage her to apply for the Peace Corps. In February, the University was ranked No. 19 for top volunteers in comparison to other “large� universities, according to a press release from the Peace Corps. “A lot of my professors and TAs were very open-minded, liberal and very much on that worldly track,� Rowley said. She named Brian Dill, assistant professor of sociology, and Annie Abbott, director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese,

Rowley’s Itinerary Q Aug.

12 Rowley flew from Chicago to Washington D.C. for a 24-hour orientation period. Q She then flew to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, with about 40 other volunteers. Q Following her arrival, there was a three-day retreat with other volunteers to begin to become accustomed with the Nicaraguan culture. Q She will be placed with a temporary host family for three months in Managua during training. There, she will likely take Spanish language classes, a culture class, and technical training classes to learn how to teach English. Q Finally, she’ll be placed in another Nicaraguan destination with a new host family and stay a duration of two years as an English education volunteer.

as professors who had the most influence on her decision to apply. Abbott testified to the Rowley’s character as a student, saying, “Jennifer was a bright light in the class. She was committed to social justice. She was interested in the conversations we had in class.� Abbott also spoke to the positive effect the University can have on students looking to pursue a globally conscious career. “Our University can really set students up to be able to integrate themselves well and be useful in communities all over the world because of our strong language programs and the strong cultural components.� Abbott said.

Mayle said she believes the Peace Corps is attractive to University students. “When they return from Peace Corps, they have their college degree from a great school like UIUC,� Mayle said. “Then they have this amazing two years in international experience, and they’re really prepared to launch a career after that.� Those interested in applying for service with the Peace Corps can apply online and choose the programs and countries for which they’d like to be considered.

Quad Day offers new, exciting opportunities for freshman NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

I

remember weaving through the massive herds of students, following the crisscross of the long Quad sidewalks, incapable of moving at a pace much faster than a slug (a slug that wasn’t in a hurry, mind you). I’m a fast walker by nature, so you can imagine my frustration as I tried to pass the dilly-dalliers — apologies to anyone who was a victim of my passiveaggressive shoulder nudges or eye rolls, it’s nothing personal. But this was my first Quad Day, and I was a new, squeaky clean University freshman looking to join in on all of the excitement. I was overwhelmed not only by the amount of students swarming the Quad, but the sheer number of booths representing the registered student organizations, all of which were ready to lure me in. And chances were pretty good that one of the more than 1,000 RSOs would pique my interest. It wasn’t until I passed one particular table, however, that I realized there truly is something out there for everyone at the University. As I continued through the Quad, I heard a casual “Hey, Nicki,� and turned to see my older cousin, Johnny, standing by a table representing the University’s Humans vs. Zombies club, which, evidently, he was heavily active in. I stood there gawking, not sure whether I was more shocked that I actually ran into one of the probably five people I knew on a campus at the time (a relative, nonetheless), or that our school had a Humans vs. Zombies club. It was at this point I realized a couple things. One, my family is as weird as I suspected. Two, you really can do anything you want here and have it contribute to your success in some way at the University. I get a chuckle knowing that somewhere on my cousin’s resume, underneath his completed degree in physics and other prestigious accomplishments, there is an indication of his involvement in Humans vs. Zombies. I’d love to be a fly on the wall during some of his interview conversations. After this brief encounter during Quad Day, I began my crazy, sign-up-for-everything excursion. I highly recommend this route for new students because, most of the time, you don’t really know what you like until you try it — and I know that I like pizza and I also know that many clubs offer free pizza during their first meetings. All I can say as a result of my email giveaways at Quad Day is that freshman year I ate a lot of free pizza, attended a haunted house outing, participated in yoga on the Quad, produced a commercial for the campus TV channel, played Bingo at a retirement center and took my first selfdefense class. Unfortunately, I did not partake in Humans vs. Zombies, missing out on that little gem of an opportunity for some quality cousin bonding time. But instead, I became a part of several different groups on campus that I did end up loving and learning from. Long story short, as a new student, Quad Day is the time to explore all of the amazing organizations the University has to offer and to learn how to get involved, as well as explore your interests. Chances are you miss out on many opportunities you didn’t even know you had if you don’t attend this event. What starts out as a casual walk past a booth can turn into becoming an active member in an organization that truly shapes your college experience. Aside from all of the RSO bliss that Quad Day has to offer, this event also has the potential to deliver you a gnarly sunburn and/or farmer’s tan, as well as contribute to your already-existing hatred for large masses of people gathered in one space — but I promise it’s worth it.

QUAD DAY 2014 QUICK

C OMME N TA RY ', '(1,(' EMAIL OVERLOAD The best part of Quad Day? Checking out all of the amazing organizations you can become a part of at the University. The worst part of Quad Day? Receiving email inbox overload from each club you carelessly signed up for, mostly to receive the aforementioned free giveaways. Good luck getting off the email lists for all of the clubs you will inevitably decide not to pursue because you will surely be notified of all of their meetings until the end of the semester.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE While Quad Day is typically all fun and games, 90-plus degree weather is not. There is nothing more unpleasant than a beet-red face and feeling those beads of sweat dripping down your back, soaking your shirt. No one wants to look like they just came from the ARC when, chances are, they skipped their morning workout just to come to Quad Day. The icing on the cake is having to walk past your campus crush in your sweaty state. Quad Day: 1. The rest of us: 0

('

$/0$ $33529 FREE FOR ALL As college students, we’re notoriously broke. So what’s better than free things? Nothing. Yes, we probably don’t need a cinch pack, three of the same T-shirt or multiple plastic cups, but it’s nice to have the option. Plus, someone’s always giving out food — and we all know it always tastes so much better when we don’t have to pay for it.

(' $/0$ $33529 SOCIAL SQUARE Although the Quad is always the center of campus, it’s rarely the center of campus’ social scene. There are those few people who find time to hang out there on a regular basis — the magazine readers, the tight rope walkers, the notorious nappers — but most of us only see them as we rush past to class or work. Then there was the Ellen thing last semester, which was kind of a flop. But every Sunday before classes start, it’s the Quad’s time to shine. There, you can see friends, get food and rack up free items. If you’re not there, you’re a square.

GOING CLUBBING With more than 1,000 registered student organizations, University students have plenty to involve themselves in. With so many options, it’s hard to know what exists or where to begin. But Quad Day makes things easy: Most of the RSOs are present – from fraternities and sororities to clubs for enthusiasts of everything you can imagine. Start at the first booth you come to and work your way through the rest. In doing so, you’ll expose yourself to unique experiences and resume builders.

', '(1,(' CROWD DISPLEASER If the uncomfortable heat and sweat wasn’t already enough, add a crowd of thousands of energetic University students. Trying to fi nd a specific RSO? Forget about it, there will be too many meandering freshmen in your way. And good luck getting to the booth that hands out the Quad Day navigation maps. Two’s company, three’s a crowd, and several thousand is a big fat no.

Avoid and evade: The 5 people you always meet on Quad Day BAILEY BRYANT Assistant opinions editor

Q

uad day is as predictable as a Disney Channel Original Movie. The storyline may vary slightly, but the characters are never new. Booths are in different places each year, but the registered student organizations remain relatively the same and are represented by virtually the same students. If you want your Quad Day to end as gloriously as all three High School Musical movies, you’ve got to know your main players and attack accordingly. Strategy is key, and the best ones are formulated according to the following five people you meet on Quad Day: 1. The person who is way too into his RSO. This encounter is most common and most dangerous. Something about you has caught the attention of the overenthusiastic president of some RSO, and he is 110 percent certain his group needs you. Don’t make eye contact unless you want to spend at least 10 minutes learning why you’re the club’s missing piece. Been there, done that. Please, for me, don’t give Mr. Peppy your e-mail unless you’re genuinely interested. My experience was with the women’s rowing team — I’m built for it, apparently. I was sought out three different times by three separate members of the team freshman year. They called for me from across a sea of hundreds. Nothing against the rowers, but it wasn’t my thing, though they nearly fl attered me into thinking it was. Steer clear. 2. The one person you’ve made it your undergraduate mission to avoid. Maybe it’s that guy or gal from high school who asked you to homecoming for four consecutive years despite your unwavering denial. Or maybe it’s the girl from your dorm days who over-shares. She’ll be the fi rst person you see, kicking things off with a story about the new kitten her dad surprised her with when she came home from summer vacation after she broke up with her boyfriend. You have to end the conversation quickly or the next thing you know you’ll be spending your Thursday lunch breaks with her in Lincoln Hall’s Latte Da. My go-to: “Oh my gosh, I have to go fi nd (insert friend’s name), I have his phone! I’ll fi nd you later.� Bye. 3. The freshman who can’t say no. Us seasoned veterans of Quad Day, we’ve been there. I promise you that you’ll never use the drink koozie being offered at that one booth, and it’s 20 degrees too hot and 20,000 people too crowded to lug those free generic T-shirts around all day. Also, you probably don’t love October that much to be signing up for October Lovers club, and it’s unlikely you’ll ever make it to those meetings. Spare yourself the emails. Avoid being this person. Here, no is almost always the right answer. Do you want to sign up to receive emails? No. Will you have time to partake in the weekly activities for the 12 clubs you’ll be getting emails from? No. A word from the wise, this pervades Quad Day. Do I need to get Fat Sandwich? No. Attend every class? No. Do you want to come over at 3 a.m.? NO. Embrace it. 4. The people who are fun to look at. See, Quad Day isn’t all bad. The day is riddled with entertainment, from the tight-rope walkers to the Speedo-clad members of waterrelated clubs to the poor souls suffering through the day in jeans and a black T-shirt. People-watching is a must, a Quad Day rite of passage. But while observing your fellow University brethren, remember to keep your guard up for person one and two. Look as unapproachable as possible. 5. The people with free giveaways. I’ve listed them last to denote importance. Find them and fi nd them fast. With temperatures typically reaching the high 90s on this day, you’re not in the position to pass up free bottles of water, regardless of who’s handing them out. And free cookies are just the fuel you need to keep yourself going. Plus, who wouldn’t want to win an X-box? And with that, you’re set. Sign up modestly and avoid adamantly. Choose the free drink, not the empty, plastic giveaway cup. But if you do fi nd yourself breaking these cardinal rules, all is not lost. It’s what Quad Day is all about. Bailey is a senior in Media.

Students locked out of online accounts BY MEGHAN WEBBER STAFF WRITER

Thousands of University students have been locked out of their student accounts after failing to change their passwords. At the start of each school year, all University students are required to change their student account passwords. If students fail to change their password, it will expire and their account will be locked. This makes it impossible for students to access any University site that requires a login, including Compass 2g and the University’s wireless network. Brian Mertz, chief communications officer at CITES, said the annual password change is required to ensure that students are not constantly reusing the same passwords for all of

their accounts in an effort to provide protection in the long run. As of press time, 2,378 students are locked out of their accounts. “There will always be students that forget their passwords or didn’t set a new password in the required time and therefore get locked out,� Mertz said in an email. “But this is the first time in my 10 years of working at the University that I can remember CITES actively proactively expiring this many passwords all at once.� For some students, like Dylan Hendricks, changing passwords is more confusing than it is reassuring. “I changed my student account passwords after receiving an email informing me to do so,� said Hendricks, a sophomore in DGS.

“But when I tried to access my financial aid statements, the new password didn’t work. It was really frustrating.�

concerns over a Heartbleed Bug, an error in technology that protects data on the Internet. “When news of Heartbleed hit we wanted to make sure that everyone’s information was secure,� said Cynthia Yewdall Thackeray, lead security outreach coordinator with the Office of Privacy and Information Assurance. “Because we couldn’t be sure what passwords might have been affected, we wanted to take BRIAN MERTZ the safer than sorry route CITES COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER and have everyone reset their passwords.� To best protect oneself In addition to the annual from vulnerabilities, both password change, students Mertz and Thackeray recare also required to change ommend having unique their account passwords passwords for different when security threats arise. accounts. Most recently, students “Hackers know that many were asked to change their people reuse passwords passwords in April due to and they take advantage of

“It is important ... that students check the status of their accounts before the first day of classes.�

this. If remembering multiple usernames/passwords becomes hard, we recommend that people use a password manager,� Thackeray said in an email. Awareness of password changes is necessary to ease frustration for both students and faculty, Mertz said. “It is important, if at all possible, that students check on the status of their account before the fi rst day of classes,� Mertz said. “Instead of fi nding out during a crisis that they have been locked out of their account, students should try logging into a CITES service before the start of classes to make sure that their password still works.�

How to reset your student account passwords:

1. Visit the CITES website http://cites.illinois.edu 2. Select “Reset your password� 3. Select “Login with your security questions� under “Forgot your NetID password?� 4. Use security questions to reset your password If you do not remember the answers to your security questions, visit the CITES Help Desk in room 1211 in the Digital Computer Lab.

Students, colleges seek cheaper ways to provide textbooks BY CARLA RIVERA MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

It’s the middle of summer, and while many other students are hanging out at the beach or preoccupied with jobs, Elizabeth Rodriguez is emailing instructors for information about the books she will need as a junior this fall at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Her method is to find the books early and cheaply through online sites such as Amazon.com and EBay rather than paying full price for texts that can cost upward of $300 at the school bookstore. The strategy is much simpler for Cal State, San Marcos, senior Jeffrey “J. J.� Gutowski. He’s stopped buying books altogether, unless he is convinced he needs them to pass a course, and then he will share a classmate’s text or rent one online. Such pushbacks to the

soaring costs of textbooks have not gone unnoticed by officials at California State University, which began a new effort recently to offer more affordable options such as digital textbooks, rentals, buy-back programs and, most significantly, incentives for faculty to redesign courses to use low-cost or no-cost alternatives to textbooks. The 23-campus Cal State system is also leading a joint endeavor with the University of California and community colleges to develop an online library of free textbooks in 50 popular courses. As colleges look to reduce the overall cost of education, many are centering efforts on course materials, which, according to Cal State officials, sets an average student back more than $1,000 annually. That’s an 18 percent addition to an undergradu-

ate’s annual $5,472 tuition. According to the UC website, students pay about $1,500 for textbooks and supplies, adding about 11 percent to the $13,200 in overall tuition and fees. And at California community colleges, many students can pay more for textbooks than for course fees, officials said. A national student survey released in January by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Foundation found that 65 percent of respondents said they didn’t purchase a textbook because it was too expensive — even though most feared that their grades would suffer. Making course materials more affordable has become key to increasing student success, said Gerry Hanley, Cal State’s assistant vice chancellor for academic technology services. “My goal is to cut costs by 50 percent for all students,�

said Hanley, who oversees the initiative that helps faculty find low-cost teaching materials. “My real desire is to make materials free for everyone, but I recognize that the creation of content and publication is real work.� Students saved an estimated $30 million total in 201314 in Cal State bookstores by using digital textbooks, renting print copies, buying used ones and using other sources, Hanley said. A student looking for the intermediate accounting textbook at the Dominguez Hills bookstore, for example, would find a new copy for $318.75 and a used one for $239.25. Renting a new copy would cost $191.25 and a used copy $153, while a digital version of the text costs $59.49. Last spring, about 50,000 digital textbook titles were available to Cal State students and faculty systemwide.

Despite the growth of digital formats, the trend is for students to rent hardbacks, campus store manager Brian Lacey said. Faculty members are also collaborating with libraries and bookstores to offer options that can greatly reduce costs. At Dominguez Hills, a spring sociology course on aging offered a free e-book version of the required $104.50 textbook through the campus library. More than 200 of the campus’ 750-member faculty have revised their courses to offer low-cost or nocost alternatives to costly textbooks. For M. Keith Claybrook Jr., a lecturer in Africana studies, that means using scanned articles, drawing chapters from full textbooks to create customized readers and using e-books available for free through the campus library. Materials for an introduction

to hip-hop class taught in the spring retailed for $95.74 but students got them free. “My role as an educator is to make sure (students) have the tools and resources needed to maximize learning,� Claybrook said. “I don’t want to penalize my students who have fi nancial hardships or limitations that prevent them from getting course materials; I’m not here to make the bookstore or publishing company rich.� A program at the San Marcos campus offers faculty grants from $500 to $1,500 to those who redesign their course syllabus using “open education� resources or creating their own materials. Natalie Wilson, a lecturer in women’s studies and literature who is a faculty representative for the program, has redesigned two courses and is revising a film studies class to be free.

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.�

Brock Gebhardt sits in the Illinois Student Senate office during his tenure as student body president.

Remembering Gebhardt: Former ISS president passes away BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

Former President of the Illinois Student Senate Brock Gebhardt worked to save lives during his time at the University. On Aug. 7, he passed away due to injuries sustained in a car accident. The news shocked those who knew Gebhardt, as they said the 23-yearold was someone full of life. “It really hit close to home,� said Matt Hill, ISS Vice President-External. “I think I forgot ... the impact and legacy he left at our University and in my fraternity were a lot bigger. I didn’t really realize that until he was gone.� Hill is a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, which Gebhardt helped recolonize in 2011. Hill also served as an intern for ISS Chief of Staff Jenny Baldwin during Gebhardt’s tenure as president. He said although he never had a strong friendship with Gebhardt, he admired him and aspired to be like him. “Brock was a person who, no matter how you knew him, he could sort of win you over by just looking at him, shaking his hand and talking to him for a brief five seconds,� Hill said. “He had such politician qualities. He really impressed people and pulled people in.� One person Gebhardt “pulled in� was State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson,

D-103. Gebhardt approached her with the idea of making a University policy a statewide policy: granting immunity to those who call on behalf of someone with alcohol poisoning. “He came in and not only did he start talking about the idea, but Brock had already done lot of research on it,� Jakobsson said. “He brought copies of legislation from other states and of course some stories of why this is important, and I just thought he was so impressive and so thorough.� Gebhardt and Jakobsson worked together to create and lobby for the Alcohol Poisoning Immunity Bill, HB2341. “Not only the reasoning for the bill, but the fact that he was able to establish a relationship with Naomi and other representatives defi nitely, in my eyes and a lot of other people in the senate, is one of his greatest accomplishments,� Hill said. Scott Grubczak, ISS treasurer, served as one of Gebhardt’s fi ve interns during his tenure as president. He said Gebhardt worked tirelessly throughout the year to work on the Alcohol Immunity Bill. “This bill is going to save lives, that’s for sure,� Grubczak said. “It’s sad what happened, but it’s nice to know that he’s going to be saving lives even though he won’t be here.� The bill currently sits in the rules commission because it did not pass

before the end of last session, which ended in May. Jakobsson said she will continue lobbying for the bill. “[Brock’s] story is still important,� Jakobsson said. “I’m really sorry that he’s gone. But he started something. He started something good. We hope we can get it.� Gebhardt’s political experience did not end with ISS. After graduating from the University in 2013, he began working as a legislative analyst for partisan staff in the Illinois General Assembly. “I feel like something was just stolen,� Hill said. “Not from me, but the world. I can’t help but think what he could’ve done for Illinois, for our country. I know it sounds crazy, but he had such big dreams and encouraged everyone else to have big dreams.� Not only did Gebhardt encourage others to have big dreams, he also inspired those he worked with through his work ethic. “He loved the senate, he loved the student body, and he was always there to help people,� Grubczak said. “He showed me that if you’re going to do something, be passionate about it because it will make it more enjoyable for you and the people around you.�

Lunt named starter at QB

Wes Lunt Height: 6’5� Weight: 225 lbs. High School: Rochester, Ill. (2010, 2011 state champion) Stats: Completed 81/131 passes for 1,108 yards as a true freshman for Oklahoma State in 2012. Threw 436 yards with four touchdowns at Arizona in first college road game. Transferred to Illinois in 2013.

Beckman, Cubit name sophomore starter over Bailey, O’Toole BY SEAN NEUMANN AND CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITERS

Wes Lunt was officially named Illinois’ starting quarterback Wednesday morning. The announcement came from head coach Tim Beckman after the starting job was in question throughout the spring and training camp. “Wes Lunt has an outstanding arm,� Beckman said. “He has outstanding leadership capabilities.� Lunt, a sophomore transfer from Oklahoma State, will make his first start at home on Aug. 30 in the Illini’s opener against Youngstown State. The last time Lunt played at Memorial Stadium, he broke records. Then, it was 2011 and the high school senior set the record for most passing yards in a title game (590) while he threw four touchdowns to lead Rochester High School to the Class 4A state championship. Now, Beckman is counting on Lunt to lead the Illini in a similar manner. In 2012, Lunt became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Oklahoma State in 62 years, throwing for 1,096 yards in his five starts with the Cowboys. But after a knee injury and an apparent head injury forced Lunt to sit for several games, the quarterback lost his starting job and transferred to Illinois in 2013. Lunt is a pass-first quarterback, and his traditional role behind the line of scrimmage fits offensive coordinator Bill Cubit’s pass-heavy play calling, which had the Illini offense ranked second in passing yards per game (287.7) in the Big Ten under former quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase. Scheelhaase led the Big Ten with 3,272 passing yards

last season, and he has left behind a void both on and off the field. When asked at Illinois’ preseason media day which of the three quarterback candidates showed the most leadership — Lunt, senior Reilly O’Toole, or sophomore Aaron Bailey — Beckman answered “Reilly� without hesitation, and with the senior’s experience with the Illini, the head coach’s quick answer made sense. But Lunt’s “whirlwind� experience at Oklahoma State and his year off with Illinois last season — per NCAA transfer rules — have him feeling ready for the starting job. “You just realize how fast the college game is and how good all these guys are that play on Saturdays,� Lunt said. “I definitely think it helped, being able to play as a freshman and getting the speed of the game. Last year was good just to help me mature physically and work on the mental side of the game.� Lunt’s performance in training camp earned compliments from across the Illini roster, including O’Toole, who was the sophomore’s main competition for the position. “Wes has the prototypical size,� O’Toole said. “He can make all the throws, really smart.�

Where do the others fit in? Aaron Bailey It was unlikely Bailey was going to leave training camp as Illinois’ starting quarterback. Battling for the spot against senior Reilly O’Toole and a talented sophomore transfer Wes Lunt, Bailey seemed likely to remain in the back-up role he held last season.

Aaron Bailey Height: 6’2� Weight: 225 lbs. High School: Bolingbrook, Ill. (2011 state champion) Stats: Played in nine games in 2013, rushing for three touchdowns and throwing for one. Rushed for 56 yards on six carries against Miami (Ohio) earning Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

Reilly O’Toole

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Quarterback Wes Lunt started five games at Oklahoma St. during his freshman year. He transferred to Illinois in 2013 and sat out last season. Lunt was named the starter Wednesday. But the four-star high school recruit has made it clear he has no interest in playing other offensive positions and will continue in the back-up position. “I’m athletic, but I’m quarterback and that’s all I want to play,� Bailey said. Beckman understands the opportunity an athletic quarterback like Bailey gives the Illini offense and is open to the idea of using multiple quarterbacks in different offensive roles throughout

the season. “You can definitely get some defensive coordinators scrambling, having to prepare for two different types of quarterbacks,� Beckman said. Bailey played in nine games last season for the Illini, rushing for three touchdowns throughout the year and threw for another in the team’s 56-32 loss to Wisconsin — a threat not only to score but, as Bailey pointed out, to keep drives alive on

third down. “I can obviously throw it in the pocket but at the same time, when the pocket breaks down, I can create things,� Bailey said. “When the play seems like it’s dead, I can keep it going, keep it alive and get positive yards.� As each quarterback repeated at Illinois’ preseason media day, the friendly fight for the starting job could have only made the offense better. But for the self-described underdog,

Height: 6’4’’ Weight: 220 lbs. High School: Wheaton Warrenville South (2009, 2010 state champion) Stats: Played in six games in 2013, completing 12/16 passes for 141 yards and one touchdown. Shared team honors for Rookie of the Year with running back Donovan Young in 2011 after completing 40/67 passes for 270 yards throughout 10 games.

Bailey still craves the spot under center. “It’s like competing against your brother,� Bailey said. “You love them at the end of the day, but at the same time you want to win.�

Reilly O’Toole Senior Reilly O’Toole lost one of his best friends and mentors in Scheelhaase. So while he spent the offsea-

Naming Lunt starter comes as no surprise for Illini SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor

W

es Lunt is Illinois football’s starting quarterback. No surprise there. The sophomore playcaller has been Illinois’ 2014 starting quarterback in the minds of many since he agreed to transfer to Champaign in the summer of 2013. When head coach Tim Beckman announced Lunt as the quarterback Wednesday, it confirmed what everyone already figured.

Now it’s time for Lunt to live up to the hype. It’s been a long time since Illinois football was this excited about a quarterback and he hasn’t even taken a snap yet. It’s good that there is excitment. That’s something that’s been lacking quite often the last two seasons. But I won’t be sold on Lunt until I see him in a game. Not that I’m not worried about him though. Who will he throw to? That’s the bigger question. Illinois lost four key recievers from 2013. Martize Barr, Justin Hardee and Mike Dudek’s names have been mentioned as possible replacements. It will be interesting to see

how the unit comes together. The receiving corps made huge strides under offensive coordinator Bill Cubit last year. Anything similar to last year’s offensive renaissance would be just fine. Jon Davis and Matt LaCosse provide two towering options at tight end. Josh Ferguson returns after having his best season at running back. Cubit and Beckman are likely looking to see more production from his backup Donovonn Young. Aaron Bailey will be incorporated somehow and it should be much more creative than the short yard-

age situations from a year ago. With Cubit, creativity is never lacking on offense, and Beckman has said the Illini will use multiple quarterbacks. Now it’s time to see these plans in action. What’s this mean for Reilly O’Toole, the senior who has had his fair share of chances but has never been the primary option at quarterback? He will certainly be ready because, as Ohio State learned this week, injuries happen. But no matter what the offense is in good hands. The Illini’s concerns are largely on the defensive side of the ball. Coordinator Tim Banks

Volleyball brings experience to 2014 BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

In an offseason riddled with change, the Illinois volleyball program is eager to see more of the same this season. Unlike years prior, the Illini roster is riddled with battle-tested juniors and seniors who have been thrown into the fire as underclassmen. “We’re way ahead of where we usually are at this time of year,� head coach Kevin Hambly said. “We’re more excited about that than the new floor, or the new branding or any of that stuff. The familiar things are what we’re more excited about.� Having continuity brings an unusual problem for Hambly and his staff: How to allocate playing time to a bundle of players jockeying for playing time in the rotation. After only losing libero Jennifer Beltran — the program’s all-time digs leader — and defensive specialist Courtney Abrahamovich to graduation, competition has been fierce in the back row. “It’s pretty much a dogfight,� sophomore Danielle

Davis said. “It’s been like that for a lot of positions.� Davis, along with junior Julia Conard and freshman Brandi Donnelly, has been competing in practice for months with still no definitive answers as the season approaches. One change schematically is that the Illini will be using a 6-2 attacking offense, rather than the 5-1 they have run in years past. The 6-2 puts two setters in the game and makes sure the setter is always in the back row, rather than anywhere in the rotation with a 5-1. It trades off the ability to have three attackers on the front line, while sacrificing the ability for the setter to “dump� the ball over the net, rather than setting. While the Illini return setter Alexis Viliunas, nothing has been guaranteed to her as sophomores McKenna Kelsay and Allison Palmer have been pushing the incumbent hard for playing time. Vilinuas is more of an attacking setter at 6-foot-1, while Kelsay and Palmer are smaller at 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-

returns nearly his entire defense, but it’s a defense that surrendererd almost 500 yards of offense per game a year ago. The secondary is a year older and it needs to play a year older. In Beckman’s first year, the Illini couldn’t score. Last year they couldn’t stop anybody from scoring. This year they need to put it all together. That’s the hope anyway. Our first look at this squad is fast approaching. A matchup with Youngstown State will tell us something, but it won’t give us all the answers. The questions likely won’t be answered until the Illini head to Seattle to play

Washington on Sept. 13. It’s a pivotal year for Beckman and his staff. Six wins likely secures this coaching staff another year. Anything less doesn’t mean they won’t be back, but it at least brings that debate to the table. An easy nonconference schedule will likely lead to at least three wins. Finding one or two more in Big Ten play shouldn’t be hard. But finding three might be a little bit more difficult.

After Sweet 16 finish, men’s tennis aims higher BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Alexis Villunas bumps the ball during an NCAA Tournament second-round match against Marquette at Huff Hall on Dec. 7. The Illini won 3-1. 9, respectively. “They made us look at it real hard and commit to (the 6-2),� Hambly said of his setters. “It was a no-brainer for us.� “The level of respect among each other is the highest I’ve ever been around in a group,� senior Liz McMahon added. “We know if one girl deserves to play, we know that’s what the team needs.� The Illini are No. 11 in the AVCA preseason poll after finishing at No. 16 last season, one of seven Big Ten teams in the top 16 of the poll.

Illinois is fifth in the Big Ten, behind No. 1 Penn State, No. 6 Wisconsin, No. 7 Nebraska and No. 8 Purdue. “Especially in preseason, we don’t even look at that stuff,� McMahon said. “Every season, we’re expecting a championship. So that’s our goal, we’re going to throw it out there and we’re working for that every day. It’s going to be really challenging, but that’s the standards we have here.�

Stephen can be reached at sbourbo2@illinimedia. com and @steve_bourbon.

Last year, the Illini rose through the national ranks as a young, inexperienced team. One year later, they’re a group of battle-tested veterans ready for more. The Fighting Illini men’s tennis team finished the season with a No. 11 national rank and a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament, and now they return every player from last year’s roster. Head coach Brad Dancer says the Illini will be ready to go even further after last year’s tournament exit. “I don’t think anyone on our team was particularly fond of the way we finished the season,� Dancer said. “We just were not playing as confidently and as loosely down the stretch as the beginning of the year.� In Dancer’s nine seasons with the Illini, they have reached the Sweet 16 seven times. This year’s goal should be the same as last year’s: a national championship. The Illini’s performance last year makes that goal

look all the more attainable. An injury that kept No. 1 singles player Jared Hiltzik out for six weeks thrust Farris Gosea into the No. 1 singles spot. He responded by going undefeated in conference play and earning Big Ten Athlete of the Year honors. An injury to Brian Page at the same time left the team with only six healthy players on the roster. That meant every player was playing in every match. This season, with the entire team healthy, the Illini will have the luxury of choosing different players, depending on the match. Even with those injuries, the Illini posted an undefeated home record and had their most wins since 2006. The team went on some remarkable runs a season ago, including defeating three top-20 teams in five days in February, and a nine-match win streak in April. Illinois should be one of the favorites in the Big Ten once again, along with

Men’s tennis outlier in international players BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

This Welcome Week, the University is welcoming a large freshman class of international students to Champaign. Across the country, more and more international players are taking to the tennis court. According to the NCAA Student-Athlete Ethnicity Report, 40 percent of Dvision I men’s tennis players were international in 20092010. While Illinois has one of the nation’s highest percentages of international students on campus, the same doesn’t hold true over at Atkins Tennis Center. “We’re one of the big exceptions … It’s very rare to have as many domestic players as we do, especially Illinois players,” head coach Brad Dancer said. “It’s a big deal for us, we take a lot of pride in that

we have such a U.S.-based, Midwest-based team.” Last year, the Illini had one international player in Farris Gosea, the reigning Big Ten Athlete of the Year. In last season’s fi nal rankings, 14 of 25 teams had more players from abroad than from their home state. In the period covered by the ethnicity report, 1999-2010, the percentage of international Division I men’s tennis players grew by 23.4 percent. Dancer says that one reason for the growth is tennis’s dominance as an international sport. A report from the USTA agrees with Dancer that tennis has exploded worldwide. It and also lists the fact that the U.S. is the only country to offer significant scholarships for intercollegiate sports, which draws in top young international players, and

pressure from athletic directors to recruit the best players from around the world. Still, Dancer is focused on the top players from Illinois and around the Midwest, even as the team has had success with international players, like Gosea and former Illini Kevin Anderson of South Africa, who will begin play at the US Open in a few short weeks. All but one of Dancer’s nine teams at Illinois have had at least one international player. “The international players we have, they’ve all kind of come about through random chance,” Dancer said. “We don’t do a lot of recruiting internationally, we haven’t done that in the past. I just made my fi rst international recruiting trip this summer.” While the incoming

freshman class features top in-state recruit Aron Hiltzik, younger brother of current No. 1 singles player Jared Hiltzik, two international players are joining the Illini this year though, in freshmen Pablo Landa of Mexico and Aleks Vukic of Australia. Landa is an under-21 Mexican national champion and Vukic won the Australian Secondary Schools Tennis Championships in the spring. The two weren’t targeted by Dancer, but he was impressed after meeting KEVIN VONGNAPHONE THE DAILY ILLINI Vukic in Florida and heard Illinois’ Farris Gosea hits the ball back during the first round of about Landa from Landa’s NCAA Tennis Regionals against Ball State University at Khan coach, former Illini Bran- Outdoor Tennis Complex on Friday, May 9. don Davis.

Improved defense could be difference for Illinois soccer BY ALEX ORTIZ ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

In 2013, the Illinois soccer team scored more goals (54) in a season than it ever had in the Janet Rayfield era. The team also allowed the most goals (50) in a season under Rayfield. Defense was the main point of emphasis during the offseason for the Illini who finished 11-9-3 last season. The team made the Big Ten tournament as well as the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. But expectations are even higher for a squad improving on a glaring weakness. “Defensively, we’re so far ahead of where we were at the same time last year,” Rayfield said. The good news for Illinois is that three regular starters return on the backline. Sophomore Casey Conine and juniors Amy Feher and Aliina Weykamp earned valuable minutes of experience last season even though they struggled as a unit. Sophomore Hope D’Addario will also return as a key contributor after breaking her collarbone last season. Goalkeeper will also feature a competitive position battle. Sophomore Claire Wheatley started 22 matches in 2013 and made 101 saves, the second-most in the Big Ten. But the job is not necessarily hers.

X\PJR

Sophomore Michelle Denley transferred to Illinois from Bowling Green and freshman Darci Dietrich will fight for time in goal. Wheatley is also facing a fractured foot that she plans on playing through this season. “There is this cohesiveness to that group having been together in the spring that certainly made starting this preseason a lot easier,” Rayfield said. The team has already started off in good fashion with a 3-0 exhibition win against Indiana State on Aug. 16. It was a confidence boost that the defensive side was looking for. “The shutout was probably the best thing we could have hoped for,” Conine said. “I think we’re really gelling back there.”

Flaws, offense look to build on 2013 success A program record 23 goals and national recognition do not matter all that much to senior forward Jannelle Flaws right now. She is far from satisfied and knows there is a target on her back after her 2013 season. “I like pressure situations,” Flaws said. “Things like that I can handle. As much as I have a target on my back, I’ve been blessed to be surrounded with great teammates.”

Even without Vanessa DiBernardo to assist in the midfield, Flaws and the Illini offense are poised for another productive year. Senior Nicole Breece and junior Taylore Peterson will provide steady leadership for the midfield. Beyond that, the team is young,

but the younger players have shown they can contribute right away. “With them, they’ve prepared this summer,” Flaws said. “It’s very noticeable when we step on the pitch. They’re fit. They’ve studied the game.”

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly argues with referees during a game against Arizona State last season.

After scandal, it’s X \ U time for Kelly to go 9 X MICHAL DWOJAK Assistant sports editor

H

-* 9ĂŠUĂŠ,

ow many free passes does a coach get before it is time to say goodbye? Usually fans ask this question because of consecutive poor seasons and a team’s lack of progress. That’s not the case for Brian Kelly, Notre Dame’s head football coach. The academic scandal of four football players is the latest mistake that the university’s football program has made under his leadership in the past few years. These mistakes have come off the field, costing not only a famed image, but also lives. Examining the mistakes that have been made under one man’s helm should end with only one result: the fi ring of Brian Kelly. Since his arrival at Notre Dame in 2010, Kelly has a record of 37-15 with the Fighting Irish, including a 12-1 record that led the program to a championship game in 2012. He was the savior the program needed after the disaster that was the Charlie Weis era. However, as the football team was winning games, mistakes were being made. The fi rst incident occurred in the early days of Kelly’s reign. On Aug. 31, 2010, Elizabeth Seeberg, who was a 19-year old freshman at St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, said

a Notre Dame football player sexually assaulted her. She turned in a handwritten note to campus police the next day. Nine days later, she committed suicide. The university refused to talk about the situation in the following months, never disciplining the accused player. Police never questioned him. A friend of the player allegedly told Seeberg: “Don’t do anything you would regret. Messing with Notre Dame football is a bad idea.� This all happened, but was kept under wraps. The next incident occurred just a few months later. On Oct. 27, 2010, Declan Sullivan died during a practice when the portable lift used for fi lming practices collapsed due to dangerously high winds. Sullivan was on the lift recording even though the area was under a wind advisory and gusts at the time of the accident reached 51 mph. Although it was not solely Kelly’s decision, it was the wrong decision to send someone up on a lift with the wind blowing so fast. Kelly faced his next challenge in the spring of 2013. That May, the university announced quarterback Everett Golson would be suspended for the fall of 2014 due to “poor academic judgment.� It was later revealed that Golson cheated on a test. Kelly was forced to plan for a season without his starting quarterback because of a poor decision

by a student-athlete. Now we reach our latest scandal. This past Friday, it was reported that four football players would be suspended for academic dishonesty. The university announced that the four would be held out of all football activities until the matter was resolved. It’s hard to say how responsible Kelly is for all of these mistakes. We don’t know how involved Kelly was in the Seeberg situation, or the decision to hold practice during dangerous conditions. It’s hard to expect the head football coach to know how each player is doing with his studies and be there when a bad academic decision is made. The academic scandal at Notre Dame is not unique to South Bend. Many universities experience these situations, but how many program-hurting mistakes does it take for a coach to be fi red? Maybe it’s one more mistake. Maybe the decision is being made right now. Or maybe a winning season will push all this to the side and Kelly’s transgression will be forgotten. If Notre Dame wants to continue its historic image of performing at a high level academically and athletically, then it’s important for the university to make the decision to part ways with Kelly.

Sports news is no longer a fantasy world PETER BAILEYWELLS

Assistant sports editor

In

the last year, the world celebrated the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and the World Cup in Brazil. Both were celebrations of sports and humanity and both had some problems, but ultimately, were judged to be successful demonstrations of the spirit of competition. They were also something else. Both events demonstrated quite clearly that now more than ever, sports are relevant to the outside (non-sporting) world. The Olympics highlighted the increasingly aggressive attitude of Russian president Vladimir Putin and the human rights violations occurring there. Demonstrations by the group Pussy Riot proved further that Russia is beginning to fulfill the role of world villain that it shed following the Cold War. The World Cup highlighted the global poverty epidemic that is only getting worse, and aimed the cameras of ESPN squarely at the favelas and street protests of Rio de Janiero. There’s no doubt that not everyone likes sports, but there’s also no doubt that news is no longer complete without sports. The NFL’s attitude towards concussions, drug use and the treatment of women are a significant window into how strongly morality clashes with making a profit in our modern corporation-dominated culture. What does this mean? It means you should read

ZIANG XIAO THE DAILY ILLINI

Sophomore quarterback Aaron Bailey was beat out by Wes Lunt for the starting position. Bailey was a four-star recruit out of high school, and both he and head coach Tim Beckman have said he won’t switch positions.

LUNT son trying to win the starting quarterback position for himself, he was also interested in helping the team grow and earn more wins. “He was the hardest worker I knew,� O’Toole said. “Him, Miles Osei, Ryan Lankford, Steve Hull, those are the guys I surrounded myself with and really taught me hard work. And I think that has rubbed off on not only me, but the whole team.� It’s this sense of commitment that has him as a standout in terms of filling the leadership void left by Scheelhaase. And it hasn’t

stopped him from doing anything he can to help the team overall, regardless of the quarterback battle outcome. During a recent practice when he was not in the pocket, O’Toole approached Cubit saying he wanted to play the wideout position. Cubit put him in and on his first route, O’Toole caught the pass thrown his way. His temporary change of position caught the team’s attention. “You could see everyone just going ‘great job Reilly,’� Cubit said. “He’s a team player. He just goes out there. He does whatever he has to do. So I think that’s where his leadership is. He’s a good attribute at quarterback, but he’s gone almost one step more in

what he’s doing for us.� O’Toole’s off-the-field contributions have been recognized as well. He was named one of the summer captains, and Beckman stated without hesitation that of the three quarterbacks, he was displaying the most leadership. Beckman further stressed that regardless of the outcome of the quarterback battle, O’Toole’s leadership will remain the same. A result of seniority and time spent with Scheelhaase, O’Toole has demonstrated this leadership throughout fall camp. He has helped the new guys adjust and developed relationships along the way, including one with roommate Lunt.

And while he may not be the starting playcaller, O’Toole is still itching to leave his mark on the field. “I just want to play and help the team in any way I can. And if that consists of catching some passes or even just being out there, doing whatever I can to help the team win games. It’s the last year, I just want to get on the field any way, as much as I can, because I think I could help the team in different ways than just playing quarterback, so that’s my mindset.�

be Illinois’ chance to put Ohio State away. The returning depth and experience will be complimented by the NO. 18 recruiting class in the country, featuring Aron Hiltzik, currently the nation’s top recruit according to Tennisrecruiting.net, and younger brother to Jared, as well as under-21 Mexican national

champion Pablo Landa. “You gotta make the most of what you have every year. The key for us this year is how well the upperclassmen will play and who out of the newcomers will come in and make a big difference,� Dancer said. Dancer said the Illini stagnated some during their injury troubles last year.

This year he says that he wants the team to continue to progress the entire year. “All the way through the season we’re really continuing to strive and get better,� Dancer said. “We weren’t as physically strong as we usually are, we weren’t as mentally tough as we usually are at the very stretch run of the season last year.
