EPA urged to ban toxins in Clinton Landfill DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: this article originally appeared online on July 29.

Gov. Pat Quinn ordered the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to take immediate action keeping polychlorinated biphenyl waste out of Clinton Landfill on July 28.

Clinton Landfill is situ-

ated above a portion of the Mahomet Aquifer, a water source for about 750,000 people in East Central Illinois, which led to concerns when Peoria Waste Disposal requested that the Environmental Protection Agency permit the dumping of polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, waste at the landfill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents can look

back on this as the day we protected their clean drinking water source,â&#x20AC;? Governor Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PCBs have no place in or near the drinking water of any community in our state. That is why I directed the EPA to take immediate action and protect the water supply for families throughout central Illinois.â&#x20AC;?

The governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order is based on a response received

by the IEPA from the DeWitt County Board on Friday.

Illinois law allows the IEPA to modify a landfill permit upon discovery that a decision was made using false or misleading information. The IEPA will issue a modified permit for Clinton Landfill later this week.

Federally regulated concentrations of PCB waste had never been authorized

locally at Clinton Landfill, as the DeWitt County Board stated in a letter to the IEPA that it did not authorize disposal of PCBs at the landfill in its Sept. 12, 2002 sitting approval.

Further, in both the location application and a public hearing on the request for local approval in 2002, representatives of Peoria Disposal Company represented to the

county board that the Clinton Landfill would not accept PCB waste as federally regulated concentrations.

The federal EPA is still considering the landfillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, but Quinn sent a letter to the agency in May urging the administration to deny Peoria Disposal Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for federal authorization to dispose of toxic waste in the landfill.

Yongfei Ci charged with murder, sentenced to 46 years in prison DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally appeared in the June 23 version of The Daily Illini Yongfei Ci, a former University graduate student, was sentenced to 46 years in prison on June 18 for the first degree murder of his ex-girlfriend Mengchen Huang, a University graduate student, on Sept.

27, 2013.

The sentence falls four years short of the maximum sentence the assistant attorney general set after Ci pleaded guilty

in May. Huang broke up with Ci in early September, and a day before Huangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder, he had texted her that he felt â&#x20AC;&#x153;much better nowâ&#x20AC;? and he â&#x20AC;&#x153;should be able to move on very soonâ&#x20AC;?

But weeks earlier, during studies at Brown University in Rhode Island, receipts show that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to move on.

On Sept. 20, He bought online a CO2 pistol manufactured to look like a semi-automatic, paying for next day shipping. He also made a separate online purchase for two knives with

next day shipping. That same day, he purchased rope from a Wal-Mart in Providence as well.

On Sept. 24, Ci signed a UPS receipt for the knives and bought duct tape at a Wal-Mart in Providence.

On Sept. 27, 2013, he parked in front of Huangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment, which she shared with her roommate, Xue Yang. As Yang exited the apartment in the morning, Ci forced her back in while holding the CO2 gun.

He proceeded to tie up Yang and Huang, moving Yang to the

bathroom.

According to Yangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony, Ci beat and yelled at Huang for a while until he asked her if she had any last requests.

Huang responded, pleading with Ci not to hurt her roommate. With that, Ci shut the bathroom door and proceeded to stab Huang in the neck six times.

Yang eventually left the bathroom and called the police, and Ci was apprehended in his hotel room at Value Place in Champaign.

According to files from

the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Ci admitted to officers that he was angry at Huang for dating another man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer my calls or return messages, I was angry, disappointed and thought there would be no chance for us to get back together, so, so I decided to come here and ... kill her,â&#x20AC;? he said.

According to court document, Ci must serve his entire sentence in an Illinois prison, after which he will face deportation.

University loses 4 students over the summer DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Over the summer, the University lost four of its students, starting on the Friday of graduation weekend. The following is a summary of the incidents that took place, and the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction.

Paul Davidson Davidson was pronounced dead on May 16 at Carle Foundation Hospital after suffering multiple traumatic injuries in a motorcycle versus automobile crash at the intersection of University and Lincoln Avenues.

Less than 48 hours after the accident, the School of Architecture convocation he was to take part in honored his life and paid tribute to his death.

Davidson was a senior in architecture and was set to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in architectural studies on Sunday morning.

When Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was called at the time he was to receive his diploma, participants held a moment of silence to honor him.

Professors paid tribute to Davidson and offered condolences to his friends and family, sharing what they remembered about him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was known as a big guy with a big personality and even a bigger heart,â&#x20AC;? said David Chasco, professor of architecture and director of the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul was a very good person who always made us laugh.â&#x20AC;?

Paul transferred to the University from the

College of DuPage in 2012. After graduation, he was going to begin his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in architecture this fall at the University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly, Paul would have contributed to the profession,â&#x20AC;? Chasco added.

Davidson was an active member of the Gargoyle Architecture Honor Society, and had previously served in the military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a military veteran, Paul had a maturity and dedication that few students have,â&#x20AC;?

Chasco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an unbelievably sad tragedy ... Paul will be dearly missed.â&#x20AC;?

Krzysztof Jablonski About 20 minutes before Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident occurred, Krzysztof Jablonski was pronounced dead outside Park Place Tower, 202 E. Green St, after falling from the high rise.

Jablonski was also a graduating senior.

A few days after the incident, members of the fraternity Jablonski was a part of, Alpha Phi Omega, gathered in front of Noyes Laboratory for a ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a tremendous student and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to be missed. The fact that over a hundred students who were not here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who had already gone home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; came back to campus says a lot about the impact that he has had,â&#x20AC;? said Justin Martin, one of four advisers to APO. When Jablonski first joined APO as a sophomore, he stood out to Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His competitiveness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; oh my God,â&#x20AC;? he

said with a laugh.

Brian Rooney, another member of the fraternity, was in Jablonskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retreat group.

He held meetings with Rooney and other members from the group and spurred discussion, growth and competition at recreational sporting events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most memorable things I can remember of him is when at one of the meetings in the auditorium, the Eagles were in last place and Krzysztof was not very happy with that,â&#x20AC;? Rooney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He dressed up with golden wings and these tiny, tiny shorts and he ran ... he came through absolutely shameless.â&#x20AC;?

Jablonski showed him how to live, both in and outside the fraternity. And Rooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only one, the dozen or so other speakers echoed the lessons Jablonski taught them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely had a little more pride in taking on a lot of different things from APO,â&#x20AC;? Rooney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he was not afraid to do something stupid or silly or fun because life is too short to not.â&#x20AC;?

Richard Fu Fu, a 20-year-old student in ACES, was reported missing June 21 after being pulled away from the shore while swimming. The event took place in took place in Arraial do Cabo, Brazil, according to a letter written

by College of ACES Dean Robert Hauser.

One of the other students he was swimming with got back to shore, while the second was rescued by lifeguards, according to the letter.

Ashley Wells The disappearance of Fu on Saturday was followed by an unrelated death of another University student on Monday.

Graduate student Ashley Walls died in Brazil from a disease she contracted while conducting research in Florianopolis, Brazil, according to a letter from the Dean of Education Mary Kalantzis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of these students were admired and respected by their peers and by the faculty and staff who knew them here at Illinois. Our collective thoughts are with their families and friends,â&#x20AC;? Chancellor Phyllis Wise and Provost Ilesanmi Adesida said in a related release.

According to Kalantzisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; letter, Walls was a member of Delta Sigma Theta and the president of the Black Alumni group on campus. She was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;developing scholarâ&#x20AC;? in her pursuit of a PhD in socio-cultural foundations of education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(She had) the goal of addressing the persistent inequities communities of color experience in large urban areas, especially her beloved Chicago. Her loss is beyond measure,â&#x20AC;? Kalantzis wrote in the letter.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally appeared in the June 9 version of The Daily Illini Whether it is for the adventure, to meet people or to fight back against the disease, the members of Illini 4000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;fight cancer on two wheels,â&#x20AC;? according to the Illini 4000 website.

The riders for the nonprofit organization began the 72-day trek on May 24 in New York City, and ended on August 3 in San Francisco to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

The organization consists of 20 riders and nine members of the board of directors, two of which are on this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip.

Tory Cross, president of Illini 4000 and senior in neuroscience, said the trip went well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going great,â&#x20AC;? Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing well. There have been no major injuries so far and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy.â&#x20AC;?

The team has biked through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and stopped in Champaign on June 8. The team then continued to ride through Illinois until June 15, and then began the ride through Iowa.

Isalia Ramirez, current rider for the Illini 4000 team and senior in ACES, said she agreed with Cross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physically, it feels like you just pedal and just keep moving,â&#x20AC;? Ramirez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But emotionally the more I keeping going, the more I realize how important it is.â&#x20AC;?

Ramirez also said the stop in Champaign felt surreal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like a tease being in Champaign,â&#x20AC;?

Ramirez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even started the trip yet. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only one-fifth of the way done.â&#x20AC;?

Cross said the team, on average, biked anywhere between 40 to 70 miles a day, and broke 104 miles riding through Indiana on June 5. Riders stop every 20 miles to grab some food and water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We jump right into it,â&#x20AC;?

Cross said.

Cross also said that riders stay at churches, schools and campgrounds at the end of the day to sleep before continuing on the trip the next morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stay anywhere that will let us sleep on their floor for free,â&#x20AC;? Cross said.

Not only do Illini 4000 members ride across America, but they also participate in the Portraits Project.

According to the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the Portraits Project is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;collection of narratives that demonstrate how Americans respond to cancer based on their unique life experiences and individual beliefs. The Illini 4000 believes that everyone has a story to tell.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the Portraits Project we can help connect people that have any type of cancer, but have some connection to each other with the stories they tell about the fight,â&#x20AC;? Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meeting people through the Portraits Project was life changing in a lot of ways. I learned things like always appreciate your loved ones and show them, because you never know what will happen.â&#x20AC;?

Before the adventure

started for the Illini 4000 team, fundraising to reach the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $150,000 goal began. According to the Illini 4000 website, the team has raised over $87,000, with each member required to raise $3,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People go beyond that, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Ben Wooley, director of information for the organization and senior in Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most years we get around $100,000 in fundraising.â&#x20AC;?

Illini 4000 raises money for organizations such as Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, American Cancer Society, Camp Kesem, Livestrong, Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, Camp TLC and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also raised funds for Dr. Brenden Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research through the University of Illinois.

Wooley also said that Illini 4000 has raised around $720,000 since they started in 2007 for cancer research and support services.

Both Cross and Wooley have endured the bike trip across America before, Cross completing it in 2012 and Wooley completing it in 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was incredible. Best experience I ever had,â&#x20AC;?

Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to spend so many hours moving and so many hours in your own head.â&#x20AC;?

Cross said although the trip is physically challenging, it is a lot more mental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to mentally say to yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I hurt everywhere and every inch of my body is in pain, but I have to keep moving. I am doing this for something bigger than I am,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be hard. But once you do it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the best feeling in the world.â&#x20AC;?

Wooley also said his experience on the trip was great, and learned a lot from the people he talked to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of great people in the United States, and sometimes people focus too much on the bad things that are on the news,â&#x20AC;? Wooley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you actually stop and talk to people, they do amazing things out of the kindness of their hearts.â&#x20AC;?

Wooley agreed with Cross and said the difficult part of the trip was staying in the right mind set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to keep your head in the game and remember why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it,â&#x20AC;? Wooley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of days where there is a whole lot of nothing, like large fields or going through the desert in Nevada. The thing that keeps you going is keeping in mind why you are doing this. We are making an impact.â&#x20AC;?

Although the bike rides can be physically and mentally exhausting, Cross said there are many reasons as to why students continue to participate in Illini 4000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to already be a cyclist or an athlete,â&#x20AC;?

Cross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people join for the adventure of being on your bike all day from fl at Illinois to deserts and mountains out west. Some also just love to meet and talk to new people. Everyone has a story of how cancer has affected them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their way of fighting back.â&#x20AC;?

Champaign 3rd fastest growing city in Illinois

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally appeared in the July 7 version of The Daily Illini Champaign is the third fastest-growing city in Illinois, according to a report published by Nerd Wallet finance.

Rankings for the fastest growing cities were determined based on data regarding income growth, employment growth and population growth between 2009 and 2012 from the 2012 U.S. Census American Community Survey 3-year estimate for Illinois.

Median income in Champaign grew by 32.2 percent between those years, employment grew by 1.9 percent and the workingage population grew by 4 percent, according to the report.

Champaign Mayor Don Gerard said this growth can be attributed to how well the city manages its resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Champaign has always had a history of

being really fiscally conservative,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Gerard said during the recession, Champaign made some â&#x20AC;&#x153;very difficult cuts.â&#x20AC;?

But those tough decisions ended up paying off in the end, since the city can now afford appropriate staffing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we transition into when I was elected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we since have a new city manager â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also put a premium upon creating revenue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a basic equation for having a good, healthy economy, and that is: have a fiscally conservative government that creates revenue to pay for itself.â&#x20AC;?

Such revenue has been generated through measures such as the passage of a gas tax and a quarter cent sales tax, which have created funds for services such as roads, public safety and the Champaign Public Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve negotiated all of our contracts, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting extra money towards our pensions, extra money towards our roads and our

infrastructure is all being built up,â&#x20AC;? Gerard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extraordinarily fortunate to have all of our bills paid.â&#x20AC;?

Also contributing to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapid growth are the corporations and establishments that have chosen Champaign as their home.

From Kraft, whose Champaign plant is the largest manufacturing plant in their chain, to Yahoo, which is expanding its offices at the University Research Park, such companies have played a major role in creating jobs and revenue for the community.

Yahoo Champaign Site Director Cathy Singer said being in Champaign-Urbana and having a team on campus is great because of the opportunity to interact and work with both students and faculty at the University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot stress enough the strength of the student talent pool at ChampaignUrbana,â&#x20AC;? Singer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yahoo is committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. Being so close

to a top computer science and engineering institution makes that easier.â&#x20AC;?

While the University provides talent for the company, Yahoo provides employment opportunities for those in the community. About two-thirds of employees at Yahoo Champaign are University graduates. The company offers student internships and also looks to hire University student interns for full-time work.

Hiring interns to become full time workers has been an invaluable asset throughout the Research Park and for the community, since students may decide to stay in Champaign and continue to work for the companies they intern for after graduation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ability to have companies employ interns we found to be the best way to get the students engaged with the company and excited about job opportunities with those companies,â&#x20AC;? said Research Park Director Laura Frerichs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherwise students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t general-

ly think about employment opportunities in Champaign-Urbana â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they think about this as an educational setting, not necessarily a future location for their jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Singer said Yahoo employees in Champaign have the advantage of living in a place where they have a good balance between work and life, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to come by in the software and tech industry, but can be found in a town like Champaign-Urbana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ideal opportunity for many who wish to work for a major tech company while still staying close to family and friends in an affordable, academically oriented town,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Startup business incubator EnterpriseWorks at the Research Park also plays a role in supporting business and economic growth in the area as it launches early stage tech firms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to not only seed these companies but also retain them in our community,â&#x20AC;? said Frerichs.

With all the success Champaign has had in recent years, Gerard said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep working toward further improvement and growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a model of fiscal responsibility, in a state thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought of as anything but,â&#x20AC;? Gerard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is just the start. I think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be seeing a lot more. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had talks about the possibility of making Champaign the hub for high speed rail in the Midwest, which is a very real possibility.â&#x20AC;?

These developments lend themselves to the reasons Gerard believes Champaign is an attractive environment to live in with potential for immense population and economic growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luck is when opportunity meets preparation,â&#x20AC;?

Gerard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the city was prepared, the opportunity came, so to the rest of the world we look like the luckiest city in Illinois.â&#x20AC;?

Rice Garden closes, Illini Union looks to welcome new vendors

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally appeared in the July 7 version of The Daily Illini.

When the Illini Union distributes its annual campus-wide survey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that students take it, and take it seriously â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because Illini Union staff will listen.

On May 18, Rice Garden, a restaurant located in the Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food court, closed as its contract with the University expired on May 31.

When the Illini Union surveyed students this year to determine what restaurants they would be most interested in having on campus, Rice Garden was not chosen, said Lori Holmes, manager of vendor contracts for the Illini Union.

Holmes said the Union did not choose to negotiate another

contract with the restaurant, rather choosing to look for another restaurant better meeting studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preferences and needs.

Holmes explained that the annual survey of the student body helps to assist with identifying, evaluating and contracting with popular concepts or vendors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This survey serves as a tool to identify those concepts or vendors that the student body would most like to see in the Illini Union,â&#x20AC;?

Holmes said in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concepts or vendors are ranked and the Illini Union speaks to each vendor in the order of student preference to determine individual interest in operating in the Illini Union.â&#x20AC;?

Holmes also added that Rice Garden only ranked in the middle of the list of student-desired vendors this year, leading to the closure of the restaurant.

With a yelp.com score of one and a half stars, local foodies seem

to agree with the student bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinions on the Chinese restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food is bland, chewy, and lukewarm. Staff unfriendly and only want to get you out of their hair. This is across three different experiences. I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give it a third chance because of its convenient location. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it a fourth,â&#x20AC;? said reviewer, Brett J., on yelp.com.

However, another reviewer did give it three stars, noting that he sometimes prefers Rice Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flavor to Panda Express, which is located nearby.

Although Rice Garden was not best suited to the student bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and preferences, Holmes said there is good news for students and the Illini Union. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vendors that ranked higher on the student list than Rice Garden have elected to come to the Illini Union,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently in the process

FOLAKE OSIBODU THE DAILY ILLINI

Due to the result of a student survey, the University closed the Rice Garden in the Illini Union food court. of negotiating contracts with two new exciting vendors for the Illini Union.â&#x20AC;?

Due to current contract negotiations, Holmes said the names of these two vendors cannot

be released until the contracts are completed and signed by both parties.

Medical Marijuana a prospect in Urbana Urbana City Council discusses regulation of marijuana shops in the city

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This article originally appeared online on August 5.

Urbana residents may soon see medical marijuana facilities open for business after the Urbana City Council voted unanimously at its Aug. 4 meeting to decide where and how shops can be regulated within the city.

The approved zoning amendment allows Urbana to host dispensary and cultivation centers for medicinal marijuana near the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Anthony Drive.

Kevin Garcia, city planner, and David Brodsky, one of the partners of Natural Choice Holdings, both spoke regarding the opening of local medicinal marijuana shops at city council.

Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation was based on the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act passed Jan. 1, 2014, mak-

ing Illinois the 20th state to legalize marijuana for medical use.

The act states that marijuana usage is legal for qualifying patients to obtain medical cannabis to treat severe medical conditions. The act lists 40 medical conditions, such as Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS and others, that would qualify a patient to obtain the usage of medical cannabis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state is very strict in relation to other states that have passed similar laws,â&#x20AC;?

Garcia told city council members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot stress enough how strict the state is.â&#x20AC;?

The state will issue two licenses to sellers and one license to a cultivator in the nine-county district, which includes the area of Urbana.

Brodsky told the council that Urbana seemed like a fitting place for Cannabis dispensaries, considering Urbana is a regional center for medical care. He then added that a location had been picked that

would potentially serve 500 to 700 patients in need of medical marijuana prescriptions.

These shops are predicted to bring in about $100,000 in tax revenue to the city.

Cultivation centers in Urbana may not be located within 2,500 feet of pre-existing schools, day care centers or residential areas. Similarly, medical marijuana dispensaries may not be located within 1,000 feet of pre-existing schools and day care centers.

Diane Marlin, Ward 7 council member, said she was concerned regarding where these facilities would be built in the area and proposed a required special use permit for dispensaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recently changed the liquor license ordinance to allow us to have council review to consider neighborhood context, which I feel would also be appropriate for dispensaries,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Marlin added that, although a dispensary is not quite a liquor store, nor a drug store,

they are completely new facilities that the state has no prior experience of handling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take into account neighborhood context with this particular concept,â&#x20AC;? Marlin said.

Brodsky said Urbana was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little behind the game,â&#x20AC;? and having to obtain a special use permit would increase the chances of Urbana being precluded from having a dispensary.

Eric Jakobsson, Ward 2 city council member, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe dispensaries should have to obtain the special use permit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a good thing for our community for one of the dispensaries to be permitted here in the area,â&#x20AC;? Jakobsson said.

Before any facilities will open in the Urbana area, Brodsky and Garcia will need to apply for permits with the city, state licenses and they must pass inspections.

Alma Mater rededicated at event following restoration work Ceremony held in honor of Alma Mater’s 85th birthday

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: This article originally appeared in the June 9 version of The Daily Illini Champaign-Urbana community members attended the Alma Mater’s Rededication Ceremony on June 6 at Alma Mater Plaza in Urbana. The ceremony was held in honor of Alma’s 85th birthday on June 11 and served as a way to formally rededicate the restored sculpture to the University and community.

Chancellor Phyllis Wise emphasized the iconic importance of the Alma Mater to University students and alumni when she spoke at the ceremony.

“Labor, Learning and Alma welcome people on the very first day that they get here, and they also send off our students as they leave,” she said.

Wise also thanked those who helped in the restoration efforts and who financially supported the endeavor.

“The work that was done was extensive and exacting, and none would be possible without the donors who made it possible for us to do the job the right way,” Wise said. “Alma’s restoration, appropriately,

was paid for by her family and not by state funds or tuition.”

Jean Bandler, granddaughter of Lorado Taft, the sculptor who created the Alma Mater, also spoke at the event.

Bandler described the gratitude and connection her grandfather felt towards the University and how his sculpture paid tribute to that adoration.

“This embracing Alma Mater flanked by Labor and Learning is what the University of Illinois gave to Lorado Taft, and that is what it still provides for its alumni and for its students,” she said.

Andrzej Dajnowski served as lead conservator of the Alma Mater conservation project. Wise said his studio was chosen “because of its cutting-edge use of lasers to conserve sculpture.”

“In my opinion, this was the first ever approach of this kind on any monument anywhere in the world, so this is a really seriously groundbreaking step,” Dajnowski said.

Upon first looking at the sculpture, he said it appeared that there were no major problems, just some corrosion on the exterior surface that needed to be taken care of.

“But then when we looked at the bronze it became very apparent that what was simple

became extremely complicated,” Dajnowski said. “And that’s why it took so long.”

The conservation effort took 18 months to be completed. The Alma Mater made its return to the University from its conservation studio in Forest Park, Ill., on April 9.

Christa Deacy-Quinn is collections manager at the Spurlock Museum, a founding member of the University’s Preservation Working Group and has served on the Alma Mater conservation committee.

The Preservation Working Group began the process of Alma’s conservation.

“The group has been key in preserving various campus artwork, in addition to educating the public on preservation issues,” Deacy-Quinn said. “In 2009, the Preservation Working Group identified the Alma

DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Mater as being the campus work most in need of preservation.”

She said working on the preservation of a beloved campus icon was an honor, and she hopes that preservation efforts will continue over the years in order to keep the Alma Mater in prime condition for the coming generations.

“Today, as a result of all the learning and labor during the conservation effort, Alma stands here, having undergone state-of-theart laser treatment, with all new bolts and a protective wax finish, ensuring her durability and structural soundness for years to come.”

Shatterglass Studios films ‘Food’ in Champaign

BY KAYLA BURNS STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: This article originally appeared in the June 23 version of The Daily Illini.

When most think of Memorial Stadium, thoughts of the Fighting Illini football team playing on Saturday afternoons come to mind. Yet, this summer, the stadium and other local areas are serving a different purpose. They are being used as locations for the filming of “Food.”

“Food,” written and directed by Daryl Wein, stars many big names including Taylor Kinney, Zoe Lister Jones and Beth Grant.

The independent film is being produced

by Shatterglass Studios of Champaign. The film centers around a Midwestern mother and her journey to uncover her son’s mysterious illness.

Producer Brett Hays is an Illinois alumnus and has worked for Shatterglass Studios for eight years. Hays was first approached about the film by director Wein and star Lister Jones, who are dating, about two months before filming began.

“The last couple films they did were really, really well known and did really well and were just overall great films,” Hays said.

“Once I read the script, I thought it was just fantastic. I told them the film needed to be made, whether it was with me or not.”

Once the film was put into motion, the

next choice was location.

“It took convincing to film in Champaign,” Hays said. “They wanted to film in Chicago originally because they’re from New York and L.A. and when most people think of Illinois they think of Chicago.”

Hays said, given that the film features farms and a university, he knew Champaign has the resources to offer the filming and would be a wise financial choice for location.

“With the resources and connections that Champaign has, it was a much better choice,” Hays said.

Although many department heads and crew members have been brought in from Chicago, many locals and students have been employed to work on the film.

“We need people that can work, 5, 6 days a week, all day long and we can’t ask local people to quit their jobs to film. So we pulled in crew,” explained Hays. “We’ve got some current graduates from the University and others from the community who were available who are working as either interns or assistants,” Hays said.

One opportunity that the film is offering locals is the chance to be extras in the film.

Jason Thompson and his two daughters, Ady, 7, and Maryn, 9, volunteered to be extras because of the girls’ interest.

“The girls have a long-term dream of acting, so they’re excited for this,” Thompson said. “Singing and dancing are a passion

of theirs.”

Other extras decided to be a part of the film for the unique experience. Erin Tracey and Jami Tanner decided to give being extras on a film a try because it was something they’d never been a part of before.

One local who is truly having the Hollywood experience is eight-year-old Nick Bonn. Bonn is the son of two University employees and is one of the film’s leads.

Nick’s mother, Maria Bonn, said her son was cast by chance.

“We met the filmmakers when my husband and my son took me out to breakfast and we ended up sitting next to them. They got talking and asked if he’d like to talk to them about being featured in the film,” she said.

One of the film’s stars, Beth Grant, was approached about the script about a month ago. After reading the script, she immediately called her agent back and said she would love to be involved. The opportunity came at the perfect time for Grant.

Grant is a regular on “The Mindy Project” and was supposed to work on an off-Broadway play that was being directed by James Franco when a conflict prevented her from doing so. As it turned out, “Food” fit in perfectly with the off time she had.

Born and raised in the south, Grant currently lives in Los Angeles, but said she wasn’t hesitant to come to Champaign to

film.

“I’ve been to Chicago a few times and really like the Midwest, so I was excited to come,” Grant said. “I’ve loved my time in Champaign. The people are so friendly and kind, and everyone has been going out of their way to do anything to help me, like take me downtown or to show me where to grocery shop.”

Grant also credits Lister Jones and Wein as part of her positive experience working on the film.

“Working with Zoe and Daryl has been great because she is a wonderful dramatic actress and he was trained as an actor, so he is really able to help you with your role,” said Grant. “As an actor we really appreciate when we can get hands-on personal help with our role, and he is one of the best with that.”

The film’s young star, Bonn, has also enjoyed his time on set.

“I think he’s having a good time filming,” Maria Bonn said. “The days can be long, but he’s made a lot of friends and he seems to be having fun.”

“He loves working with Wein,” Maria Bonn said. And, after working the past weeks, “Nick’s now saying he’d like to direct.”

University researchers acquire plasma, fusion facility on campus

BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

The researchers of the Nuclear Radiation Laboratory, situated just south of Boneyard Creek on Goodwin Avenue, have been hard at work all summer — moving, tossing and stowing a trove of gadgets to make room for something big.

It’s a plasma /fusion advanced physics testing device called HIDRA, or the Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications, and it’s coming in separate parts over the course of October and November.

It will take up more than 1,200 square feet, requiring about 2 million watts of energy when it runs, and it weighs more than 70 tons.

But it’s free, gifted to the University by the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics as they prepare to start running a similar, bigger device — the Wen-

delstein 7-X. Daniel Andruczyk worked with HIDRA for three years, assisted the University in acquiring it and has also joined the lab as an assistant research professor to operate the machine.

“Essentially, what we’re trying to do is create a star in a lab,” he said, referring to the blob of hot, ionized gas, or plasma, that is brought together in the chamber in HIDRA when it is turned on.

Andruczyk explained that the device heats up gas, creating positively charged particles that wax onto the magnetic field the machine creates.

“You have an endless pallet for these particles to keep going around on. The more they go around, the more they’ll collide with each other. Eventually you’ll get a nice, hot plasma, which you can do a lot with,” he said.

Andruczyk said the hot

plasma can be useful in testing different materials, finding compounds that are sturdy against extreme temperatures and applying them in the industry to help build machines that last longer.

“The goal is to not only have materials that can withstand that environment, there are people at other labs looking at materials that absorb that energy to eventually make it into a useful form of electricity,” he said.

With HIDRA, however, Professor David Ruzic, the director of the Center for Plasma-Material Interactions, said it will play a critical function in a different avenue in fusion research: plasma wall interaction.

In the past, the focus of fusion research has been on developing the core, making the heat within the machine on par with the sun, Ruzic said.

“But the plasma and wall

interaction has not been solved,” he said. “You have to have some kind of material interface that will hold that in and not fall apart, and not pollute the plasma which won’t fuse anymore.”

Ruzic said that’s part of the reason the University was able to obtain HIDRA, because “they are going to have those problems” with plasma and wall interactions and will want solutions.

Ruzic also said HIDRA will serve as an educational tool for both graduate and undergraduate students considering the College of Engineering approved an estimated $1 million budget to ship, establish and run the device.

There is a class that is still being discussed, but Ruzic said it will be a fusion device operations class that will most likely feature multiple levels and will be offered in the spring.

“They’ll do different projects, depending on their level of education and knowhow. In the meantime, they’ll all learn about the basic structure and design of a fusion device,” he said, adding that the students will help assemble HIDRA, add on to it, and assist in operations.

The Center for PlasmaMaterial Interaction has hired three new faculty in the past year, including Andruczyk. He said each will bring in their areas of expertise with HIDRA, whether it be in theory or material testing.

“This facility brings a whole new dimension to our research in plasma-materials interactions: research that will provide unique, unrivaled new information about materials performance and research we can take into the classroom to teach a whole new generation of fusion researchers,” said Jim Stubbins, head of the Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering in a press release.

New campus McDonald’s open 24/7, offers delivery

BY ANDREW YOON STAFF WRITER

On Friday at 10:30 a.m., McDonald’s opened its doors to its newest location on Green Street in the space previously occupied

by GameStop. McDonald’s will be open 24 hours, seven days a week and offer a delivery service to its customers.

Delivery service will be provided through Mr. Delivery, a company open in 18 U.S. cities, which pairs with local restaurants to deliver food.

“The fl iers will come in the following weeks that we will be able to deliver through Mr. Delivery,” coowner Scott Miller said.

“We want to be as convenient as we can for the college students.”

Jill Guth, JSM director of commercial leasing, said she is looking forward to the

partnership with JSM and McDonald’s.

“Based on our previous partnerships, I expect that it will follow that model,” Guth said, “There is a new interior store design that distinguishes it from an average McDonald’s, so that’s exciting to see.”

The interior design features a lot of orange and a front wall design with affi liations on campus, such as Memorial Stadium, the Morrow Plots, the Big 10 and more.

Co-owners Scott and his father, Dwight Miller, wanted to open the fast-food restaurant to provide college students with good service in a convenient location.

“It’s a great place to pick up a snack or a meal on the way to class or to a friend’s place,” Scott Miller said.

This will be the second time McDonald’s has

opened a restaurant in campustown: The fi rst was located in the Illini Union.

Since it closed in 2005, Scott Miller said he wanted to open another location in campustown to replace it.

Dwight Miller and his wife Alice own 11 McDonald’s, according to McDonald’s Illinois website.

Paul Kang, LAS, thinks the new McDonald’s will do well on campus and that it will not affect his diet.

Instead, he said he believes it will be a nice place to pick up a quick meal.

“There’s a McDonald’s off campus on Kirby, but people who went to that will still go to that,” Kang said. “Having another McDonald’s simply opens the options for more students to enjoy.”

University to open office in New Delhi, India, in spring

BY ALEX SWANSON STAFF WRITER

The Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Public Engagement intends to open an Illinois office in New Delhi, India in the spring. The office would aim to promote relations between India and the University.

Sarah Zehr, director of operations in the Office of Public Engagement, will manage the office in India under the direction of Pradeep Khanna, associate chancellor for Corporate and International Relations at the University.

This development follows the recent University office opening in Shanghai, Chi-

na and will hold a similar purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main purpose of an office like this would be to start developing more relationships with companies in India that could hire students ... promote internships and full-time opportunities, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a good opportunity for us to be able to work with the academic institutions in India,â&#x20AC;? said Zehr.

Zehr believes the office will help support and strengthen the network of University alumni in India.

Mark Wolters, a visiting assistant professor in Business Administration, also spoke about the importance

of the office specifically for University alumni. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having an office in India is vital ... to help develop business and alumni networks in countries where graduates live and work,â&#x20AC;?

Wolters said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could see this helping develop alumni groups not only in New Delhi, but in various cities throughout India.â&#x20AC;?

Zehr and Khanna recently visited New Delhi to look for office space; however, the Indian government must approve an application for the office before the plans can fully take shape.

Tim Barnes, director of Illinois Strategic Interna-

tional Partnerships, said that strong international relationships allow the University to assemble a strong faculty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They certainly impact our ability to attract the best students and to attract the best visiting faculty and scholars here,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an extensive network of partnerships around the world and a very strong reputation.â&#x20AC;?

According to Barnes, the University has a very high percentage of international students and is ranked higher in international ratings than domestic ratings.

This office could help fur-

ther develop relationships with organizations in India and supporters hope it will help bolster the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international reputation.

Barnes praised the leadership at the University as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most committed leadership team weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hadâ&#x20AC;? in regards to cultivating international relationships.

Zehr stated that although recruitment was not a priority in the Chinese office, there may be more of a recruitment effort in the Indian office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be something that we may want to work more on in India,â&#x20AC;? Zehr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think that we hope to

increase the number of students from India through this effort.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally, Wolters said that the opening of this office could send a positive message to both India and the University community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new office should show UIUCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to international education and the importance that the Indian market is for new students, investments and networking for past, current and future UIUC students,â&#x20AC;?

Wolters said in an email.

WELCOME BACK

Know your capabilities, listen to yourself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not others BAILEY BRYANT Assistant opinions editor

M

y undergraduate career ends with this semester. Graduating in December isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the conventional college route, nor is finishing school in two and a half years. Neither has stopped me.

See, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take kindly to being told what do. My parents, ex-boyfriends and academic advisor can attest.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m determined, impatient, stubborn and intelligent. I could fit into a preplanned college student mold, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. I know myself, and I know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m capable of.

Self-awareness, consciousness of my personality, is one of my best qualities.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of best qualities anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially college students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could hope to have. If people know their strengths and weaknesses, their emotions and motivations, their thoughts and beliefs, they can better pursue lives suited to their qualities. With self-awareness, college students have the ability to make well-informed decisions for themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; decisions more appropriate than the ones pushed by others.

Deep down, I think most of us are self-aware. We know what we want,

even if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too scared to admit it. In our minds we catalog sentences for the novels weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to write, but we never put them on paper. We harbor feelings for our close friends, but we never confess them. In the face of our dreams, we often chicken out.

Although self-awareness is important, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irrelevant unless acted on. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to say: You do you. Do whatever you want to do, however you want to do it.

Steve Jobs did. He dropped out of college and started a little company called Apple. Sure, some say he was a hotheaded idea-stealer, but few would call him passive or deny he went after the things he wanted.

Exhibit two: Miley Cyrus. Her prerogative was to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the 2013 VMAs. She came; she twerked; she conquered.

And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s S.E. Hinton, who wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outsidersâ&#x20AC;? (published in 1967) when she was in high school. She wanted to articulate the societal issues of class she saw in her Oklahoma home, and today, her book is still taught in schools across the country. Did I mention she got a D in creative writing?

Each had dreams and pursued them in appropriately unique ways. They took risks to get what they wanted, all with the knowledge that they might fail. Jobs joined the ranks of employed young adults today who only have high school

diplomas, a group whose members make about $17,500 less annually than their college graduate counterparts, according to the Pew Research Center. Cyrus risked her fame, Hinton her pride. But simply put, each did what they wanted and knew they were capable of. And they are better for it.

This same is true of University students Saagar Gupta, senior in Business, and Anna Hecht, senior in Media and Illini Media employee.

Gupta is an accounting major, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing a lot more than crunching numbers and completing assignments.

He spent the last year founding Hashtagr, a social search engine he developed with partners, Khoa Nguyen and Dennis Leancu. The website aggregates posts from social networks. While most of his peers were pursuing internships, Gupta was competing in contests through the University and Microsoft, both of which recognized his company as superior among others. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the tip of the iceberg.

Is maintaining a company hectic and stressful? Yes. Worth it? He thinks so.

Hecht didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t form a company, but she took a semester off last fall to pursue an internship sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always wanted at InStyle Magazine in New York City. She developed relationships with some of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important fashion editors, in addition to gaining invaluable experience and resume content.

And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still slated to graduate on time.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying just anyone can form a successful company, let alone in college. I know I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And few have the gumption to return to school after a hiatus. It would be tough. But Gupta and Hecht knew their capabilities. They listened to themselves, not their peers, superiors or circumstances. They took advantage of being self-aware, and we should all follow their lead.

Start writing your novels before you forget your million-dollar sentences.

Date your best friend before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. Go after what you want however you want it because you, more so than anyone else, know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of. Shoot for your dreams and live up to your potential. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to.

People will doubt you, just like they did Jobs, Cyrus, Hinton, Gupta, Hecht and me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been called crazy for veering off the beaten path. Maybe I am.

But when my actions, especially my expedited graduation, are questioned, I think affectionately of all the other loons like myself, particularly Bam Margera from Viva La Bam. They say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will she do next?â&#x20AC;?

And I answer the same way he would: Whatever I want.

Summer is great, but it can get lonely. Like your college companions, your high school friends were scattered throughout the country, traveling, working or interning. And you were, too. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tan skin without anyone to see it? The best part of back-to-school is reuniting with your favorites, especially during the first few days before classes start. Stress is nonexistent, only looming in the days ahead, and Thursday night at Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the only thing you have to plan your schedule around. Plus, few things can lift your spirits more than hearing that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hilarious and entertaining enough to make your favorite people miss you.

', '(1,(' FACES YOU DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WANT TO BE FRIENDLY TO Fall semester means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to see the people you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in three months. That guy from your major who always asks your tests scores, even though you both know he did better. The person from freshman year who you tried your hardest to phase out. The girl with bad breath who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the appropriate proximity to use while holding conversations.

Words from the wise on beginning the semester right NICKI HALENZA Opinions editor

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the time when we must transition from Netflix to new books, bikinis to backpacks.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time when Lana Del Rey would tell us weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting that summertime sadness as we head back to our busy college lives. As such, many of our brains are still in an utter state of sleep-mode, making the back-to-school transition a little difficult. So, for the sake of all of our sanities, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring forth a few gentle reminders of how to get back into the swing of things as painlessly as possible.

First thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first: Finalize your schedule already. If you other students are anything like me, and I know many of you are, you may have made your fall semester schedules a little hastily, filling up hours and thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, I have all summer to rework and perfect it.â&#x20AC;? You had all these plans to make the ultimate schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you know, the one that includes no class on Fri-

days, a late start on Mondays and one or two of those classes rumored not to have a final exam.

Then, somewhere in the midst of your summer splendor, you forgot to finish the masterpiece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; been there, done that. So a word from the wise, nail down your schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it will make the first few weeks much less stressful knowing that you are where you need to be for the semester.

And, as we all know, that first week back is the ever-famous syllabus week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be ready for it. Many consider it the best week of the semester, in that it is like an extended week of summer since classes typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up their full speeds yet, and students can enjoy the weeknights out with friends.

However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to call that giant â&#x20AC;&#x153;balognaâ&#x20AC;? (in replacement of a certain expletive) considering I think syllabus week can be insanely stressful. To me, there is nothing appealing about adjusting to a new set of professors, assignments and exam dates.

But, assuming Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the minority with that sentiment, be sure to enjoy this week of what people consider the calm before the storm. It will make the transition into

the semester a little more bearable, so I hear (meanwhile, I will be updating my calendar all week as I frantically try to pull my life together).

Another stressful aspect of the back-toschool ordeal is the dreaded textbook purchasing. For the more seasoned students, I assume most of you have already done your textbook pre-ordering and are ready to grab-and-go. For those who have not, brace yourselves. While textbook shopping can be tedious, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just buy the first copy you find. Do yourself, and your wallet, a favor and do a little price-check research. Nothing is more frustrating to me than throwing down $100 on a 50-page, paperback textbook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when that money easily could have gone toward somewhere near 14 Chipotle burritos. Priorities, guys. But, unfortunately, textbooks are inevitable, so do your research, buy your books and buy them fast.

On the upside to the chaos of the backto-school nightmare, there are many silver linings that should not be forgotten or ignored â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of which is the cleanliness of your new living environment.

There is nothing quite like settling in to your new dorm, house or apartment

and turning it into your own little nook.

Enjoy this time because I guarantee the cleanliness of your humble abode will not last long. Chances are, clothes will see the ground more than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the dresser drawers (and probably the washing machine), and your Clorox wipes will begin gathering dust in the cabinet under your sink. Enjoy the comfort of your new space while it lasts because, trust me, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for long.

And as we enter the start of the school year, I deliver a few parting messages: To those of you with classes in the Armory, I wish you the best of luck â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because we all know you will need it to find your classroom on the first, second and third day. To the frantic freshmen and those who still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out how to navigate campus, do yourselves a favor and hide your campus maps behind a book so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like total lost puppies. And finally, to our new Fighting Illini students, welcome, and to our returning Fighting Illini, welcome back.

Rep. Davis co-sponsors campus sexual assault bill

BY ALEX SWANSON STAFF WRITER

Rep. Rodney Davis, R-13, announced on Aug. 4 that he is co-sponsoring a bill aiming to help prevent sexual assault on college and university campuses, as well as provide needed resources to survivors.

Bill H.R. 5354, the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, calls for the appointment of confidential advisors for survivors of sexual assault. These advisors would counsel survivors and advise them, or possibly assist them, in reporting the crime. Additionally, no school will be able to sanction students for underage drinking if they admit to it in the process of reporting sexual assault.

Andrew Flach, Davis’s communications director, spoke about the potential positive effects of the bill on campuses across the country.

“By requiring schools to have confidential advisors, minimum training standards for campus personnel and coordination with law enforcement, the hope is that more victims will report cases of sexual assault so schools and law enforcement can get those victims the help they need and take necessary action to prevent future crimes from occurring on campus,” Flach said in an email.

The bill calls for more training for oncampus personnel, so that responders and guidance counselors will be better equipped to deal with the effects of sexual assault on the survivor.

Additionally, all schools must develop a protocol for dealing with sexual assault and there cannot be different protocols for different subsections of the school.

The legislation also aims to increase trans-

parency. Students from every college or university in the nation will be surveyed about their experience with sexual assault on campus. The results will be public, so prospective students can be better educated about their choice.

Assistant Director of the Women’s Resources Center Molly McLay said she feels the University is “ahead of the curve” because many of the measures called for in the bill are already part of the University’s response to sexual assault.

She named three areas in particular that are already well covered by University procedure: collaboration between law enforcement units, more training for those who respond to survivors and amnesty for students who have been drinking underage.

McLay also expressed concern that the duties of the confidential advisor may make it difficult for him or her to remain completely confidential. She suggested that lawmakers “make sure that this confidential advisor is really someone students can speak to in complete confidence without this advisor having to perform other duties which might compromise their confidentiality.”

But she also said it could potentially be helpful on college campuses to survivors.

“If the lawmakers talk to the universities about maybe some of the issues that I mentioned, we could come to some solution that could really help survivors at universities,” she said.

The University has a multitude of services available for survivors of sexual assault and those interested in sexual assault prevention.

Students at the University are familiar with First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape

Education, or FYCARE. The program has been mandatory for 20 years in an effort to prevent sexual assault, promote awareness and educate participants on how best to help survivors.

The Women’s Resource Center currently trains certified housing staff, McKinley staff and the Office of Student Conflict Resolution to understand how to handle sexual assault cases.

McLay also said the University has a good relationship with the local rape crisis center, so there is an off-campus, 24-hour option for guidance.

Additionally, the Women’s Resource Center works closely with the Counseling Center and the University Police Department.

University Police Department Deputy Chief Skip Frost said there are vast amounts of unreported cases of sexual assault on university and college campuses.

“This is probably the most unreported crime on this campus, or any other campus,” Frost said. “We have very, very few sexual assaults actually reported to us ... and we just know quite simply that’s just not the case.”

He commented that survivors frequently do not want the police involved for a variety of reasons.

University Police Department Sergeant Joan Fiesta said sexual assaults are often reported when the perpetrator is a stranger but they are far less likely to be reported if a victim is sexually assaulted by an acquaintance.

According to Fiesta, the University is working to develop a program to educate the public about red flags for sexual violence, so that bystanders can learn to recognize a pos-

sible oncoming sexual assault and intervene.

Both Frost and Fiesta spoke about the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) program, which is a program created for the prevention of sexual assault and so women can learn physical self-defense.

The campus police department has run the program since 1996, and there is very early planning aimed at eventually offering RAD for University credit.

The program is also available for men and equips them with tools to use against any kind of aggressor, not sexual assault. It also includes discussion about what men can do to reduce sexual violence.

Fiesta said that the police department encourages sexual assault survivors to file a police report.

“In my experience, once somebody reports, they then avail themselves to a system of care that we have at the University,” Fiesta said.

Fiesta clarified that a survivor does not need to make a police report to have access to that care system; however, it is helpful for the police department to have the report should the survivor want to press charges later on.

H.R. 5354 has been moved to the Education and Workhouse Committee and the Judiciary Committee. If successful the bill will go through the legislative process and then to the House for a full vote according to Flach.

He added that the bill is subject to change in the coming weeks or months as it is debated amongst lawmakers.

UI takes extra precautions for student safety due to Ebola outbreak

BY MEGHAN WEBBER STAFF WRITER

Due to the recent Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the University will be taking extra precautions to ensure the health and safety of its students.

Each year, international students are required to go through a health screening to confirm they comply with required immunizations. According to Dr. Robert Palinkas, director at McKinley Health Center, approximately 3,000 international students will undergo the screening with additional steps.

“This year, all of these students are also asked if they have traveled to or from one of the four Ebola affected West African countries and if they may have had contact with individuals who may have had an Ebola infection,” Palinkas said. “Students from an affected area or with possible contact with an Ebola infection undergo a brief private screening session to assess their health and potential risk for the disease.”

In addition to the extended screening, the University has suspended study abroad programs to Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, for the fall.

“Students looking to study in West Africa should understand that our primary concern is their safety and that changes in programs to Sierra Leone were related to the resources that we felt were available to us so that we can respond effectively to any

unforeseen issues that may arise,” said Bo White, assistant director for international health and safety at the University.

According to Andrea Bordeau, a specialist on health and safety for international projects in the Study Abroad Office, there were no students planning to study abroad in Sierra Leone when the decision was made to suspend the program.

“The University has long-standing relationships in Sierra Leone,” Bordeau said. “The suspension of study abroad programs in Sierra Leone for this fall is not forever: We will continue to look at the issue to determine whether it is safe to continue the program in the winter and spring sessions.”

Although Ebola is not seen as a threat to the United States, the University still wants students to stay healthy and aware.

“Eat a balanced and appropriate diet, get adequate water, get adequate sleep, exercise regularly, avoid unhealthy foods, excessive alcohol or use of drugs, avoid tobacco use or exposure, use barrier protection during sex and seek care when illness emerges,” Palinkas said. “Finally, one should not travel to affected areas experiencing Ebola contagion unless it is essential.”

New state legislation enforces compliance of campus smoke ban

BY JESSICA RAMOS STAFF WRITER

University students may see changes in the strategies used to enforce the smokefree policy on campus. On Aug. 18, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation to ban smoking on all state-supported university and college campuses. The law will take effect on July 1, 2015.

Kathy Drea, vice president of advocacy at the American Lung Association, said that she worked on the bill and lobbied for it for three years. The college age group, 18-24, has the highest smoking rate of any age group and according to Drea, smoke-free policies are one of the main ways to help people quit or reduce smoking.

According to the American Lung Association, there are approximately 433 col-

leges and universities nationwide that are 100 percent tobacco-free. Though Drea is not expecting 100 percent compliance when the legislation goes into effect, she said there are universities that have already expressed interest in becoming involved.

“It’s all about social change,” she said.

Renee Romano, vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said that she believes not much will change in the way that the University implements the smoking ban policy.

“We’re ahead of the game,” she said. “I think we’re fully inclined and people have to change.”

However, since the smoking ban will become a statewide law, Romano said the educational approach could be modified to include disciplinary consequences.

“I’m not saying that we would move to

fi nes, but it being a state law does allow us to implement some of those harsher consequences if we chose to,” Romano said.

Romano expressed that other state colleges and universities may ask the University of Illinois for guidance; however, these universities will have an advantage since the ban will soon be considered a law.

Michele Guerra, director of the UI Wellness Center, said there has been visible progress since the smoking ban was established. With the start of the school year, new students and visitors have been informed of the campus’ smoke-free policy.

The Wellness Center plans to display signs around campus and have smoke-free student ambassadors in place to remind new students to follow the policy.

“It’s been integrated in all the admissions

material, all the housing material, they’ve gotten that word before they’ve arrived,” Guerra said. “For instance, we had information out at registration this summer, so all the students that came through, all the parents that came through — they were able to get information on it.”

Guerra added that resident advisors, Campus Recreation, Private Certified Housing and Human Resources staff are among those that have received training to enforce the policy. The Wellness Center will also soon provide an interactive map of the smoke-free campus online in order to increase awareness and help with compliance.

Campus Bike Center, located at 608 E. Pennsylvania Avenue in Champaign. The project collects used bicycles and refurbishes them for further use.

University pledges money to keep bike center Additional $50,000 will help keep center open for at least 1 more year

BY EDWARD GATHERCOAL STAFF WRITER

Earlier this year, the Campus Bike Center was struggling to find funding sources to continue its operation after it lost two previous donors. Before CBC reached its June 30 deadline, the University’s administration agreed to fund the center for one additional year to allow it to build a self-sustaining program.

T he ad mi nistration agreed to fund the center for $50,000 from June 30, 2014, through fiscal year 2015 to assess the best way to keep the program open in the future.

The Campus Bike Project provided an additional $13,300 that CBC needed for its budget, according to James Roedl, director of the Campus Bike Center.

“I really am glad that we were able to receive this funding from the campus administration because it indicates their deep

acknowledgment that this is something that is needed for our campus,” said Morgan Johnston, associate director of Sustainability.

“This isn’t just a Band-Aid solution. It is a very helpful first step in finding a longterm solution.”

Student Body President Mitch Dickey said there are around 5,000 people who use the center every school year, which makes it “a very important facility on campus.” “[CBC] is utilized a lot more than we would maybe think,” Dickey said. “It is something that we would want to have on campus.”

The Student Sustainability Committee funded the center last year to help get it started. At first, Johnston said SSC would not continue as a long-term funding source since their main focus is getting projects started.

However, over the summer SSC granted an extension on the funds from

last year. This helped the center use money it saved last year and put it toward this year’s funding. “(The SSC) is very supportive of this (CBC) and they’ve been a real help in getting this started,” Johnston said.

Previous funding also came from the University’s Facilities and Services discretionary account; however, those funds are no longer available. The center continues to search for a new, long-term funding source.

Johnston and Roedl also mentioned a draft campus bicycle plan that is in its final review stages. Roedl said that the previous plan was 10 years old and needed to be renewed to fit the current times.

“It is a bit of a process,” Ro e d l s a id . “ ( T he administration) wants to make sure it’s accurate and check for consistencies and that it goes along with their mission statement.”

The draft is expected to be approved this fall.

Johnston said once the new draft plan is finalized, a University of Illinois Foundation donor account is to be set up so that anyone who wants to donate to CBC can do so.

Beyond the center, the Campus Bike Plan includes having a Campus Bike Coordinator, which would cost an additional $ 45,0 0 0. He or she would be responsible for safety education and transportation advocacy.

However, there is currently no funding available for this position.

The draft also includes strategies and regulations regarding bike sharing, bi ke enc ou ra gement and addressing bike infrastructure, such as pathways and parking.

“Anyone who rides a bike knows how important it is to have a resource like this,” Roedl said. “It is important to have the bike center be

Campus Bike Center reminders: Q It is the law to have a white light on the front of your bike visible from a distance of at least 500 feet and a red reflector on the rear visible from 100 to 600 feet.

the hands and feet of the University’s commitment to being a carbon neutral campus.”

Johnston said she is glad the administration agreed to fund the center this year because this shows the University wants the center to succeed. She also said this should encourage people on campus to use different forms of transportation, including bicycling and the mass

transit system.

“The money the campus administration gave to us to afford the center this year is a really great indication of how much they understand that this is important to our students, important to our faculty and staff and a much needed facility,” Johnston said.

Dessa performed on Sept. 28 at Highdive for Pygmalion Music Festival.

Pygmalion Festival to come to campus in late September

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

The Pygmalion Festival is making its way back to campus for its tenth annual music and literature show.

Hitting campus September 25 to 28, the festival will be hosted at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday through Friday and in downtown Champaign on Saturday through Sunday.

According to the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the Pygmalion Festival is considered to be one of the foremost boutique indie rock music festivals in the world.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pygmalion Festival is expanding, with the event turning into a four-day event with fewer stages, more relevant artists, more accomplished authors, a book fair and more.

Authors that will be attending the event include: Audrey Petty, Peter Orner, Richard Siken, Jennifer Percy, Ted Sanders, Rachel Cantor, Adam Prince and more.

Robert Put, junior in Engineering, is attending the festival for his first time and said he is excited to see what the festival is all about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about Pygmalion before, and it sounded really awesome,â&#x20AC;? Put said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really hyped to see Chvrches and American Football. Those are the two Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going for.â&#x20AC;?

The festival will also be hosting its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made Fest,â&#x20AC;? September 27 and 28 from 12 to 6 p.m. This event is a twoday marketplace featuring handmade

artists, makers and vintage sellers.

The Made Fest is free for all those who attend and is open to the entire community at the Highdive Outdoor Annex located at North Market and Main Streets, Champaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We promise, this is one of the more inviting and intimate festivals you will ever happen upon,â&#x20AC;? said the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

CU youth creates book series to express herself James overcomes communication barriers through writing

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Alexandria James, a 15-year-old Champaign resident, is finding creative ways to overcome the communication barriers that autism often creates by expressing herself through her own series of books.

Beginning when she was 9-years-old, James began writing a series about a 7-year-old Los Angeles girl named Natila who has alopecia, which is a hair loss condition, and wears a signature red bow on her head.

The series has 14 books so far, ranging from topics like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natila Goes to School,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natilaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Field Tripâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natila Visits Her Grandparents.â&#x20AC;?

James said she created the Natila character to contrast characters she encountered in other books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a lot of stuff about kids that were annoying or rowdy, so I decided to come up with a series about a more unique character, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because she has alopecia and she wears a red bow on her head,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the little girl is never annoying. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good-tempered character that acts her age. I wanted to show people this kind of stuff so maybe they can know that they can write kids

like Natila that are more unique and nice.â&#x20AC;?

Renee Angelah, Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this series is about ... that you can be different and still have support and friendships and love and still just live.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why this is a style of life series.â&#x20AC;?

Angelah said writing these books has been a good outlet for her daughter to communicate what thoughts and feelings she has trouble relaying otherwise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things with autism is communication and social skills, and I think writing these books has tremendously helped her in her communication skills,â&#x20AC;?

Angelah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times even when she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicate that much, when I read these books itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communicating her life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And what better way than in a creative sense.â&#x20AC;?

Ordena Hope fi rst met James through working as a family advocate at the University Psychological Service Center when James was 5-years-old. She said she also has seen James grow tremendously with her expressive words and in her communicative abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she fi rst introduced me to her stories, through her stories I realized she was crying out and trying to speak out, whereas one-on-one, or one-to-the-masses,

Hope said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disconnect in communication, whereas when she goes into her books and into her stories, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to express to the world and to those who are paying attention whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in her mind.â&#x20AC;?

James and Angelah were encouraged to publish the Natila series after a friend of Angelahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saw James writing up the stories on her computer. She told them about a self-publishing website called lulu. com where James could upload her stories

and order however many books she wants.

James also created her own website, alexsjames.com, where people can purchase her books. James and Angelah also have a stand at Urbanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market at the Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just takes that person that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, well now put it out there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we did,â&#x20AC;?

UI professor maintains medical information portal

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Dr. Krishna Tangella, associate professor in pathology and internal medicine at the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Medicine, started a health care information portal three years ago called DoveMed.com, which features hundreds of articles about various medical topics with contributions from doctors across the country.

The goal of the website is to simplify the complicated jargon and explanations that often accompany medical information, and to serve as an information portal for patients and their families in relation to diagnosis, treatment and therapies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we started this project, the intent was to inform the consumers and the health care providers of health information in an easy to understand manner,â&#x20AC;? Tangella sad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of misinformation out there, and creating a health information portal to communicate in an easy to understand manner actually will empower patients to make better health care choices.â&#x20AC;?

All of the information on the website is approved by a physician editorial board and is sometimes reviewed by multiple physicians before getting published, so readers can know

the information is reliable.

Dr. Jared Block is a hematopathologist in North Carolina who develops, writes and reviews hematology content for leukemia and lymphoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody goes to the internet now for getting their medical information,â&#x20AC;? Block said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come back from the doctor, and unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cold, they get online and they start looking up everything they can about it. They read things from people that may know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about, and other people that just have their own opinions and write, but not necessarily anything based on fact or scientific data.â&#x20AC;?

Block said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why DoveMed can be a valuable resource for patients who want to access valid and easy to understand medical information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I want to be part of and what I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a good job of is providing a place with well-researched information that has been distilled down from a scientific basis to a format that is digestible by most people that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have medical backgrounds.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Rob Klein, a pathologist from Tucson, Arizona, reviews DoveMed articles after they have been written and checks for any major errors. He said going along with the goal of public education and making reliable information avail-

able to the masses, DoveMed also strives to use new media and formats to better reach its audience â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that we can get media images and videos on to smartphones and other things people have these days.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only doctors who contribute articles for the website either, but also training doctors and residents, medical students, premed students and even students who are not in a medical field but are going in to medical writing.

Tangella said the majority of writers are temporary, and after writing a few articles they move on. Others, he said, love the process and stick with it.

Those who are interested in writing for DoveMed can reach out to contact@dovemed.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really good for students because we help train students to write articles and help them understand medicine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have physicians who actually coach and kind of guide the writers when they have questions,â&#x20AC;? Tangella said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a win-win situation. We win because obviously we get some articles written, but the students win, and we feel good about it, because the student is able to understand medicine.â&#x20AC;?

The Institute of Aviation's Piper Arrows line the runway at Willard Airport. Ownership of the institute was transferred from the University of Illinois to Parkland College last September.

Institute of Aviation ownership transfers from UI to Parkland College

BY TYLER DAVIS STAFF WRITER

It was 1968, and the first time that Dave Lucas knew he wanted to fly. For the 16-year-old, one informational flight at Howell Airport in Crestwood was all it took.

Now, Lucas is the business manager for Parkland College’s Institute of Aviation and the first employee transitioning from the University of Illinois to Parkland after the institute was transferred to the community college in September. He has worked for the institute since 2000 as assistant chief flight instructor.

Following the institute’s transition, all flight courses are now offered through Parkland College — opening these courses to more than just students attending the University of Illinois.

University students can still take these courses, just like any Parkland course, Lucas said, but they will now need to register through Parkland.

“In addition to the U of I students that will take courses as an elective, we’re looking to bring in a large contingent of freshman to go through a twoyear flight training program,” Lucas said. “Those will be Parkland-only students, and after two years they have the option of transitioning to the University of Illinois or any other school they want to — just like regular Parkland students.”

Additionally, Lucas said the institute offers the joint enrollment Parkland Pathway to Illi-

nois program, where students are initially admitted to the University at Parkland tuition rates, live in University dorms and take most of their courses at Parkland alongside one course per semester at the University. After two years, these students transition into their major at the University.

The Institute of Aviation also offers fl ight training courses for anyone interested. Private pilot training serves as the first set of courses, which permits prospective aviators to take friends up on a non-commercial basis once certified.

Commercial pilot training follows the private classes, but these pilots are not permitted to fly commercially until they log enough flight hours. Lastly, the advanced courses certify a pilot to become a flight instructor. In becoming a flight instructor, not only can a pilot teach, but he or she can earn many of the aforementioned hours needed to fly for airlines or corporations.

Course fees for a private pilot certification, which is largely hands-on and takes two semesters to complete at three credit hours each, total about $14,000 without any extra ratings.

“One of our young instructors went through our program and just started working at Flightstar in May flying Learjets — that’s pretty cool,” Lucas said. “Come out of the program, teach here for a year-and-a-half and fly Learjets. He loves it.”

Depending on a student’s

goals, Lucas said students can tailor their flight training to fit their needs. Prospective pilots can add ratings to their certificates, which include an instrument rating that permits a pilot to fly in the clouds as well as a multi-engine rating that permits a pilot to fly multi-engine aircrafts.

Lucas said most people fi nish their fl ight training after they receive their instrument rating.

Joshua Stevens, a local sophomore in aviation at Parkland, fi nished his private certification years ago, attending Parkland now to receive the rest of his certifications. He’s starting with a private flying refresher course and hopes to complete his instructor ratings.

“That’s one thing said throughout the aviation industry — a good pilot is always learning,” Stevens said. “You never stop, because there’s always something new coming out.”

Stevens said he has witnessed just how thrilled and accomplished new pilots feel after completing their early solo and cross-country flights, and this is just one reason he would like to instruct new pilots.

“To be a part of that every day? That’s a good gig,” Stevens said.

Both Stevens and his peer Fran Tao, a sophomore in LAS at the University who received her private certification Aug. 4, agree that they enjoy the challenge of flying. They also

emphasize that pilots need to be a jack-of-all-trades. “(You have to be) a mechanic, an engineer, a physicist and then we get to be responsible for people’s lives — and that’s something really big,” said Tao, who is originally from Beijing.

“In the end, our training is how to get our passengers safe on the ground.”

Both students love the institute’s atmosphere as well — “it’s like a big family here,” Tao said. Whether a student is attending the professional pilot program, or just receiving their private flight certification, Stevens said that everyone at the institute welcomes prospective pilots with open arms.

“There might be a handful of other instructors around that you’ve never had time with or had a class with but they’ll sit down with you, and if you’re having an issue or a problem you’re not understanding, they’re more than happy to help you,” Stevens said.

It’s not a typical classroom setting, either. Tao added that she used to stay at the institute from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. just to ask questions.

“If I’m home, I’m just hanging around and sometimes I don’t have the motivation to work,” she said. “But here, well, you see everybody’s working toward something and we’re all very good friends now — inside of the plane and outside of the plane.”

She noted that friendship is key to successful flight, as cock-

pits aren’t very large.

Tao wants to receive her instrument rating in the future, but isn’t sure if she will take courses beyond that. She hopes to become an aviation lawyer to help other pilots with insurance issues, lawsuits and other matters.

Lucas said the institute’s graduates are highly sought after, as there is a growing demand for pilots in the airline industry.

Boeing predicts that airline fleet expansion around the world will drive an exponential increase in demand for pilots and mechanics over the next 20 years. The company forecasts the need for an additional 533,000 airline pilots and 584,000 maintenance technicians to meet global aviation requirements.

“This requires flight schools like us to stay active to get people going up that pipeline,” Lucas said.

He said the institute is very grateful to Parkland President Tom Ramage and the college’s Board of Trustees for welcoming the institute into the college, and he welcomes prospective aviators to come fly at Parkland’s Institute of Aviation. Classes begin the week of Aug. 18 and the last day to register is Aug. 12.

“I never thought about being a pilot my entire life. Never,” Tao said. “Now I am.”

UI students develop alien, cow board game

BY AUSTIN KEATING STAFF WRITER

The aliens have landed – but they’re not looking for your leader, they’re looking for your cows.

At first it was just a class project, but now Heifer Heist, a board game that pits players against each other in a race to get the most cows, is a play-tested, ready for the assembly lines product – or at least 200 backers on Kickstarter think so.

The game was put onto kickstarter last month, and has $26,000 to go until it reaches its goal – which comes up on Sept. 2.

The creators are recent University graduate Katie K hau, who ma naged the design and business aspects of the game, and junior in LAS Jess Chu, who focused on writing.

“I wanted to make a family game that was a lot deeper than Chutes and Ladders or Candyland, so I wanted strategic play that was still really accessible and really easy to learn,” Khau said, adding that the game includes obstructions and other things like angry farmers to spice up game play.

The game also includes an array of puny cards: meatier-shower, butter safe than sorry and holy cow to name a few.

“We really love puns and

just wanted to make something that was fun and silly,” Khau said.

“It’s pun-believable,” Chu added.

Over the first few months of 2014, the creators attended events held by the Champaign-Urbana Design Organization where they heard pitches for games.

“Everyone was pitching their game, and we were like ‘well we have a game, why don’t we submit it?’”

Chu said.

After submitting it, refining it and play testing it, the duo submitted their works for the CUDO Plays Board Game Design Competition, where they took first place in Marketing and first place in visual design.

With that, they were given prizes, including assistance in setting up the kickstarter page and marketing the game.

“I’m hoping to use this kickstarter to open my own studio/company that would make games but also we might possibly go into consulting other groups, after all our kickstarter experience,” Khau said, adding that the name of their up-and-coming studio is cow&duck studios.

The class in which the concept for this game was originally developed was taught by Jason Scott, who

works at Volition. It was in the informatics department and taught game design concepts through four group projects.

Hei fer Hei st wa s thought-up by one group during the “race” project and won best in show after a class vote.

“What I remember about it was I think more so than probably any other project in the class, it really clicked very early on,” he said. “It was just a very strong and resonant concept, and they had a good core mechanic.”

He added that the concept itself, as he told the class, was bare -bones and over a couple weeks it was iterated and developed further to make it more interesting and entertaining.

Recent graduate Bharat Ponnaluri play tested the game several times over the duration of the class and is now a backer of the project on kickstarter.

“I got several opportunities to play the game as it was developed,” he said. “When I played it, I was impressed with the theme and artwork, and how it worked well with the game.”

Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly gives high-fives to the Spike Squad at Huff Hall last season. Among other renovations, new permanent seating reserved for students have been added to the previously vacant south side of the court at Huff.

After renovations, Huff Hall is ready for volleyball

BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

This offseason, Huff Hall underwent multiple renovations to update its appearance and improve the environment for players and fans alike.

The basketball court surface has been replaced with a surface more catered to volleyball.

Instead of having a stiff f loor necessa r y for bouncing a basketball, the new floor has more flex, ideal for creating a forgiving surface for knees and joints jumping and landing.

Head coach Kevi n Hambly has said his players notice a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I jump on any surface and land, my knees are going to hurt. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an old

guy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of jumps in my day,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I jump on this, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made up of on the top as it is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underneath that makes it a volleyball-unique floor.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the different surface, the floor is decorated with the rebranded font along the service lines and the Illini victory shield is on the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thi nk (the new surface) will be more noticeable in the middle or the end of the season when our bodies normally are starting to wear down,â&#x20AC;? senior Liz McMahon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it looks really sharp, I really like it.â&#x20AC;?

Off the court, Huff has added nearly 500

more seats, bringing the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to 4,536.

New bleachers have been added along the sides of the court and permanent seating has been added to the previously vacant south side of the court, which will be reserved for students and band memebers.

The current attendance record for a volleyball game at Huff Hall is 4,316, set in a match against Stanford in 1992.

That record could be in jeopardy with the new seating design.

As for those in the seats, renovations have made watching the games more bearable, while enduring the heat of late summer in C ent ra l I l l i nois.

Brattan makes 1st impressions on Illini

BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Tom Brattan has a 37-year coaching career and experience working with two other Illinois coaches. So hiring him as Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new offensive line coach made perfect sense on paper. However, the timing didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave much room for dragging out the pleasantries.

He was announced to the position on July 17, and with fall camp sstarting two weeks later, the transition for Brattan was, as he described, â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast and furious.â&#x20AC;?

Replacing A.J. Ricker, who left to be the offensive line coach at his alma

mater, Missouri, Brattan was a late find, but one that has already proven his worth to Illinois.

He comes off 13 years as the offensive line coach at Maryland, where he helped the team to eight bowl games. Before that, he worked at Stanford and Northwestern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great hire,â&#x20AC;? head coach Tim Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed that he was available, because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winner wherever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been at. He coached at places and really took that program to another level. He has built great relationships with our players. Our O-Line is mature because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older, so I think they grasp

that a little bit easier than if they were a bunch of freshmen or sophomores.

So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a phenomenal job.â&#x20AC;?

It helps that Brattan worked with Illinois defensive coordinator Tim Banks and outside linebackers coach Al Seamonson during his time at Maryland. The pair have eased Brattan into Champaign, with Seamonsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife even joining them for dinner in town.

As Brattan has adapted to life back in the Big Ten, he has also modified his coaching to fit the Illini. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all about dialogue for both coach and players as

they adjust.

Each side is learning how the other talks and Brattan has been tweaking his language to become Illinois-proficient. For him, the Illinois offense has been well coached and those first weeks were more about polishing fundamentals.

But he has seen a drive in the Illinois players that, at times, has been absent in other programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look for things,â&#x20AC;?

Brattan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are there discipline issues in the summer?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are the youngsters not going to class in the summer?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are the youngsters setting PRs in the weight room?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the little things you have to have in order to win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there.â&#x20AC;?

As the players adjust, they are learning from Brattan as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough old-timer coach,â&#x20AC;? offensive lineman Ted Karras said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He brings a mentality thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough on you. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to beat around the bush and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you straight up what you need to do to get better. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good man and a good coach for that.â&#x20AC;?

Experience and friendships combined, Brattan has made his first few weeks count.

He has watched film and demonstrated to the players that he knows what they need.

And while his abundance of energy is leaving some players double-guessing his age, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving offensive coordinator Bill Cubit much happier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He liked me coming on the staff cause now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the oldest one on the staff,â&#x20AC;?

Brattan laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than happy to have that.â&#x20AC;?

Groce, Illini gear up for fall recruiting season ALEX ROUX Basketball columnist

At

a school like Illinois, where bowl games come around about as often as the World Cup, it is no surprise that basketball reigns supreme.

While fall is college football season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the time of year when basketball recruiting is at its apex. Many high school seniors opt to announce their decisions during the early signing period in mid-November.

Recruiting fever does not spare the Illini fan base. Illinois basketball is still waiting on its next Dee Brown, and fans are hungry for an elite recruiting class. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for Illini fans to be distracted during a home football game by a big-name basketball recruit making the rounds at Memorial Stadium on his official visit to campus.

I have mixed feelings about the recruiting world

of college sports. It breeds shady characters and has the potential to stain great programs. It takes the focus away from the current team. It leads to the irrational obsession over the life decisions of teenagers.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen middle-aged adults strain to pull meaning out of recruitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Twitter, Instagram and even Snapchat profiles, searching for clues or hints about their college destinations that almost certainly arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. Any reasonable person should not get too wrapped up in the lives and whims of high school kids.

But then again, sports fans are unreasonable by nature. A sports fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood can be altered by athletes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met, playing sports in arenas they may never visit. And as dumb as it sounds to outsiders, following recruiting can be very, very exciting. Rest assured, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an exciting fall for Illinois basketball fans in terms of basketball recruiting.

When John Groce was hired in March 2012, he

wasted no time in locking down a five-member recruiting class, headlined by top-100 guards Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill.

Since then, he has burst onto the national recruiting scene by being in the conversations for elite recruits like Demetrius Jackson, Quentin Snider and Cliff Alexander. While those recruitments didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end in the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor, merely being in the conversation for top talent has given fans confidence in Groce as a recruiter. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already landed in-state players DJ Williams and Aaron Jordan to his 2015 recruiting class, and is looking to add more.

As the 2015 school year begins with high school basketball season on the horizon, Groce and the Illini are in the mix for several highprofile targets. In a perfect, orange Illini world, this will be the year where Groce gets a commitment from at least one five-star prospect, paving the way for a talent pipeline to Champaign for years to come. Many fans expect him to do just that.

BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois head coach John Groce made an immediate impact with his first recruiting class, featuring the likes of Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill. Groceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff has multiple recruits scheduled to visit campus in the coming weeks before the signing period in November.

Maybe Groce will land a big fish this fall, maybe he even lands a haul of them.

But even if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the process promises to be exciting and intense. So far, Groce has lined up official campus visits from Jalen Brunson, Jawun Evans, Elijah Thomas, Doral Moore and Shake Milton for the fall. All are currently ranked as top-100 players in the country, with Thomas, Evans and Brunson generating the most buzz. Carlton Bragg, an elite 6-foot-8

swingman with NBA potential has shown interest in the Illini as well. If Groce were to even land one or two of these players, the recruiting season will have been a success.

Three months is an eternity by recruiting standards, and a lot can change between now and November. Speculation will run rampant and rumors will fly. But as it stands now, Groce has given Illini fans good reason to be optimistic. There are some very

good basketball players considering the Illini right now. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on campus soon to see what we have to offer.

Buckle up for a wild recruiting season, Illini fans. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rewarded in the end, but you should definitely enjoy the ride.

Roark succeeds as only Illini in MLB

Pitcher anchors Nationals 1st-place starting rotation KIERAN HAMPL Sports columnist

As

a native of the Washington, D.C., area, I have a four-month period during which I am much less aware of the playoff surge by the Blackhawks, the excitement surrounding Chicago Cubs super slugger Javier Baez and the everlasting question that is Jay Cutler.

Instead, I am offered the Redskins, who know how to make a die-hard Bengals fan cringe watching their preseason games, and the Capitals,

who have turned from a perennial playoff team into a train wreck.

The one sports team that brings any excitement with them into the summer in D.C. is the Washington Nationals.

The time I spent kind of following local sports in Champaign was transferred to obsessing over the Nats all summer.

While watching their games this summer, I came across an interesting Illinois connection that somehow managed to elude me for so long.

Tanner Roark, the fi fth pitcher in the rotation for the Nats, is the only current MLB player from the University of Illinois.

I have always followed

Deron Williams, Meyers teams at the University, Leonard (and his headallowing me to foolishbutting of opponents) and ly assume that this sucDee Brown during his cess translated into pro short stint on the Wizards athletes. in the NBA.

Also, in were closely following the recent years, the baseball team all season is that program has been one Roark, the fi fth starter in of the strongest sports name, has been one of the

most consistent pitchers on a team that is currently second in the league in team ERA. Overshadowed by allstars such as Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmerman, Roark leads the team’s consistent starters in ERA. It may not have been the likeliest of pros for the Illini, considering he only played at the University for two seasons and his best accolade during his career was being nominated to the All-Big Ten second team in the 2007 season after going 8-2. Not saying by any means that this is an easy accomplishment, but in years since, other Illini have surpassed Roark’s success.

Another thing that made Roark’s path to the MLB so unusual is that he played for the Southern Illinois Miners, an independent team in the Frontier League, for a year

after his time as an Illini.

Most athletes are either drafted out of high school or college, but it is rare to be drafted coming from an independent league team.

As a large school, Illinois has been the home of some notable athletes in most of the major sports.

But Roark has done what other Illinois baseball players have found difficult, not only making it in the pros, but also being successful on one of the top teams in the league.

If you are stuck watching the playoffs in October and are confused who to root for, consider picking the Nats, not only to humor me, but because a fellow Illini will be out there on the mound representing his alma mater.

Men’s cross-country squad full of veteran potential Illinois hopes to improve upon past finishes with returning team

BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

Last year, the Illinois men’s cross-country team entered the national rankings for the first time in 16 years. Its stay in the polls only lasted two weeks.

Look for them to stick around much longer this year.

The entire top seven from the Big Ten Championship and NCAA Regional lineups returns and is looking to improve upon fifth and seventh place fi nishes, respectively. Throw in juniors Sam Telfer and Jereme Atchinson, who competed at the 2012 NCAA Regional, and

the Illini have nine runners with postseason running experience.

Leading the charge once again for Illinois will be Jannis Topfer, who returns for another season with the Orange and Blue. He was the team’s top runner in every meet he competed in last year, including a third-place finish at the NCAA Regional.

Behind him is a group of juniors and sophomores looking to help the Illini take the next step as a contender.

Liam Markham and Ian Barnett can be a nice 2-3 punch behind Topfer, but Barnett needs to stay consistent throughout the season. Last

year, the team put together a strong performance at the competitive Wisconsin Adidas Invite in October, fi nishing 19th with one of its best top five splits of the season at 52 seconds.

Barnett is fresh off of a 6thplace finish in the 5K at Big Tens, seconds behi nd some of the conference’s top runners, including reigning cross-country champ Malachy Schrobiligen of Wisconsin. He should be confident heading into his junior

campaign.

There’s plenty of room for surprises in the Illinois top seven, with so many runners returning, many that were in the top seven at some point last year. Will Brewster finished the season strong for Illinois last year, and Tommy King and Paul Z e m a n were top seven mainstays a year ago.

Grad student Brendan McDonnell was also a consistent top five member for the Illini once he joined the

The Illini lose only one athlete from last year’s roster, captain Graham Morris.

team after the Illini Open.

He should be even better this year following a full track season and summer with the team.

Another runner to watch is junior Joe McAsey. After missing all of his freshman track season and most of his sophomore cross-country season, McAsey had a huge breakout season on the track. He was second team All-American after a 14th place fi nish in the 800-meters at nationals and was the Big Ten champion in the event.

The Illini lose only one athlete from last year’s roster, captain Graham Morris. Throw in a freshman class that includes five Illinois All-State high school runners, and a lot could change in the team’s fi nal

postseason lineup behind Topfer.

Head coach Jake Stewart is entering his third year with the Illini. In his fi rst season, he led the team to its highest Big Ten and Regional fi nishes — fourthplace in each — since 1997 and 2002, respectively.

Last year he said he was disappointed in the team’s postseason performances, but this season could have the Illini looking higher than a fourth-place fi nish in the Big Ten. With a proven frontrunner in Topfer and a wealth of experienced talent, this year’s team has a ton of potential.

Miller’s season-ending injury hurts the entire conference

BY TEDDY GREENSTEIN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Braxton Miller is done for the season, and that’s a terrible blow to Michigan State and Wisconsin and Iowa and Michigan. Yes, even Michigan.

We know losing Miller torpedoes Ohio State’s hopes of making college football’s first playoff. But how cruel that a freak, noncontact shoulder injury weakens the entire conference?

It’s like when Appalachian State beat Michigan in 2007, and some shortsighted Ohio State and Michigan State fans raised the schadenfreude flag.

Do you know what’s worse than losing to Appalachian State? Losing to the team that lost to Appalachian State.

In other words, when a Big Ten power sinks, it

drags all other teams down to where only a submarinetraveling James Cameron can find them.

In this case, Ohio State opened at No. 5 in the AP preseason poll. The Buckeyes were favored to win the Big Ten. Urban Meyer is 16-0 in regular-season Big Ten games. Ohio State is perceived as the class of the conference, and Miller was ranked first in the class.

Those perceptions matter to the 13 human beings who compose the playoff selection committee. (Tom Osborne and Barry Alvarez have the strongest Big Ten ties.)

Now, if Michigan State takes down the Buckeyes on Nov. 8, will it look impressive? If the Spartans’ Shilique Calhoun grinds Miller replacement J.T. Barrett into sausage, will anyone be

surprised?

Nope. Even worse, that game will be played in East Lansing. So Michigan State figures to be a sizable favorite.

Here’s what it all means: Michigan State must play Oregon super-tight in Week 2 for the Big Ten to get a team in the four-team playoff. And if that’s what you’re banking on ... mercy.

Sorry to be fatalistic about it, but no team from the West Division will get there. (Fine, I’ll put Wisconsin and Iowa each at 25-to-1.)

And if you think the Buckeyes still have hope, listen to Kirk Herbstreit. The ESPN analyst and former Buckeyes quarterback had picked his alma mater to win the national championship, apparently unconcerned about a green offensive line.

Without Miller, Herbstreit

CHRIS RUSSELL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller breaks free for a first-quarter touchdown against Clemson in last year’s Discover Orange Bowl. Miller suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in practice last week, throwing doubt upon the Buckeyes — and the Big Ten’s — title hopes. said Ohio State is “probably a 10-2, 9-3 type of team.”

“This is as devastating an injury as any team in the country could have had to take,” Herbstreit said. “(Florida State’s) Jameis Winston, (UCLA’s) Brett Hundley, (Oregon’s) Marcus

Mariota, Braxton Miller.”

The only good news is Miller said he’ll return to Columbus in 2015 as a graduate student. He’ll vie to become the first three-time winner of the Tribune Silver Football, awarded to the Big Ten’s best player.

The Big Ten needed a highly questionable passinterference call to win its only national title, by Ohio State, in the 16-year BCS era. And 2014 is opening with a thud.

But, hey, the Buckeyes look good for 2015.

Maryland adopts ‘lifetime’ scholarship policy

After injuries and emergencies, student-athletes to remain on scholarship to finish degrees

BY DON MARKUS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Maryland men’s soccer coach Sasho Cirovski has seen more than a dozen of his players leave school early to pursue professional careers. The departures have often left Cirovski to wonder whether his former athletes would eventually come back to finish their undergraduate degrees.

With a new program announced Tuesday by Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson, athletes in all of the school’s sports will be able to return with their scholarships intact as long as they left the university in good academic and social standing.

Another component of the “The Maryland Way Guarantee” will allow athletes who are unable to continue their college careers because of injury to remain on scholarship, as can those who left teams because of family emergencies or for

other reasons.

The program, which will go into effect in November, makes Maryland among the first Division I schools in the country to give what Anderson called a “lifetime” scholarship to its athletes.

Previously, scholarships have only been guaranteed on a year-to-year basis.

“If you go away and come back 20 years from now, we’ll put you on a program so you can get your degree,” Anderson said Tuesday.

The program comes as the Terps embark on their first season in the Big Ten Conference. Fellow Big Ten member Indiana announced a similar program _ one that also includes enhanced medical coverage and other benefits _ in June. Anderson said he is working with Maryland’s medical school to figure out what can be done to help athletes in that regard.

The scholarship program will officially begin with student-athletes entering

Maryland this fall, but it will affect ones like Rodney Elliott, who expects to finish his degree this summer or fall _ 18 years after he left school “about nine to 12” credits short. Elliott went on to play professionally for more than 10 years, mostly in Europe, after leaving Maryland.

“I think [the new program] is awesome,” said Elliott, a former Dunbar High School star who now coaches at the Mount Zion Academy prep school in Baltimore. “It gives each student-athlete a chance to come back and fulfill their dream [of getting a degree].”

Anderson said the school still has some leeway to help former athletes who have returned the past few years in order to graduate, as well as current athletes who will not have the benefit of being officially in the scholarship program.

“Since I’ve been here, I know we’ve accommodat-

ed anyone who’s shown a desire to come back and get their degree,” said Anderson, who has been at Maryland for four years. “We’ve made it work one way or the other. Now we’ll have direct funding and a program that addresses this, so it won’t be going on an individual case, but we’ll look at the entire student-athlete population.”

Scholarship money will continue to be raised by the Terrapin Club Scholarship Fund, which seeks private donations to cover the costs of athletes’ educations.

Though many athletes who leave to play professionally may have financial means to pay for their remaining credits, Cirovski said the new program will give his former players an incentive to return to College Park rather than to finish their studies elsewhere.

“I would rather see them get their degrees from the University of Maryland than from another school,”

he said.

Men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon said he has always had an unofficial policy of allowing his players “five years [on scholarship] to play four,” but he noted that this program will put families more at ease.

“Our goal is still to graduate the kids in four years,” Turgeon said.

Anderson said the new program should give Maryland’s coaches “an advantage” in recruiting.

“They can go in to a home of a potential student-athlete and look the parents in the eye and say, ‘We are going to offer you a lifetime scholarship,’” Anderson said.

Though they won’t be directly a part of the new program, Turgeon said he has been in communication with former Terps such as John Gilchrist, Byron Mouton and Elliott about finishing their respective degrees and “this helps us do that.”

Previously, those types

of arrangements have been what Cirovski described as more of a gentleman’s agreement between coach and athlete. Now, it’s going to be documented and will be offered regardless of whether the athlete plays a revenue or Olympic sport.

“In most situations, it’s an unwritten rule that scholarships are good for your entire career as long as you’re in good academic standing. It’s not very clear,” Cirovski said. “What I really love about this initiative of The Maryland Way Guarantee is that it’s a very real promise that when you commit to Maryland, we’re going to be committed to you forever. It adds an exclamation point that you’re a Terp for life.

“It puts on a hard document, basically, that as long as you represent the university in good fashion you’re not going to be worried about renewal every year.”

Social media helps, hurts athletes

BY SAM SHERMAN STAFF WRITER

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much investigation to know that almost everyone is on social media. This certainly does not exclude college football players. The question is whether or not all of this access is good or bad for the sport, and the players involved. Nebraska wide receiver Kenny Bell joked at Big Ten Media Days last month that easy access with fans has been both a good and a bad thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive thing in the sense that we can interact with fans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a negative thing cause we get to interact with fans,â&#x20AC;? Bell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any Joe Blow thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never played a down in his life can critique how you played on Saturday, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take it with

a grain of salt. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make everybody happy.â&#x20AC;?

There is a lot of pressure put on student athletes without social media being added to the equation. Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, who will be out for the season following a recent shoulder injury, has to deal with these added pressures all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its kind of tough when people are talking negative about you,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They watch you play, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything back to them, but I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what their intent is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to make you mad and get to your head and make you the bad guy if you reply back.

They want your attention, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give them that attention.â&#x20AC;?

Illinois offensive lineman

Simon Cvijanovic beleives social media pages can also be there to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a public rĂŠsumĂŠ, your Facebook, and your Twitter and Instagram, in my opinion,â&#x20AC;? Cvijanovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that enhances you as a person and enhances what people think of you, puts your personality out there for people so they can get to know you when they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t physically be there to know you.â&#x20AC;?

In the last two years, Cvijanovic has played for an Illinois team that has finished with records of 2-10 and 4-8. The lack of success led to poor stadium attendance. People began snapping photos of the nearly empty stadium this past season and just as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect, those photos went viral. Cvijanovic is well

aware of the negativity surrounding the program, but knows thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one way to change it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting this question a lot, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do you feel about the negativity?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I feel negative myself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like losing, I hate losing, I want to win, and it makes sense.

You know if the stands are empty, and Twitter is being negative, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to win football games for that to change, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only wayâ&#x20AC;?

Purdue head coach Darrell Hazell said social media has changed the way that college coaches do their jobs, including the recruiting process.

When asked whether a prospective recruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social media pages can affect their recruitment, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh absolutely. If it were over

the edge, for sure it would affect that. You can find out a lot about a guys character by checking their social page. If we do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely think twice about whether or not thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy you want in your program.â&#x20AC;?

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer took the strongest view in either direction when it came to his players using social media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a negative overall,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know their schedules are so tight, and I see it with my children, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk in the house and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three people looking at their phones, and I get addicted to it sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

Meyer also questioned the reliability of sources that post information on Twitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The worst thing is, and

not being disrespectful, but anybody can be posting. I can say this about Braxton Miller or Urban Meyer and, first of all, who is this person? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true, but regardless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there.â&#x20AC;?

Social media will not be disappearing anytime soon.

Its presence will only grow in our society. After speaking to coaches and players it is apparent that social media can be a great tool if used correctly, or a distraction if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are here to stay, and college athletics seem prepared to take on whatever challenges social media will bring.

Football is cyclical, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible an I-back formation could return on an every-down basis. But Briles believes that fans and administrators want to see points, and lots of them.

Thus, the spread is here to stay.

And Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record probably is, too.

2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like in the Big 12, if you break that 1,000 mark, some good things will happen,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

But UT running backs coach Tommie Robinson has made it clear that multiple players will see the field.

Brown, Johnathan Gray and freshman Donald Catalon all will get playing time.

gassed,â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma State receiver Jhajuan Seals said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s if you want to keep a fast tempo.â&#x20AC;?

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost assumed a team needs multiple running backs. Texas senior Malcolm Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated goal is to break the 1,000-yard barrier this season, something no Longhorn has done since

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever shaken Adrian Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d remember it. When the 19-year-old freshman walked onto the Oklahoma campus in 2004, he would grab reportersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands and practically crush them. With a smile, of course.

Ten years later, Peterson still has a vise grip on the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman rushing record. He stiff-armed, spun and sprinted his way to 1,925 yards that season, an eye-popping number even to this day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boy, he was something, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he?â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeez, that guy! Let me tell you this, if I still had him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be right behind the quarterback.â&#x20AC;?

Considering how coaches now are using spread offenses to get more playmakers involved, Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshman rushing record is a number that may never fall.

Tell that number to some Big 12 veterans, and watch their eyes roll back into their heads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, that boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a player,â&#x20AC;?

Baylor wide receiver Antwan Goodley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a freak athlete, too. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t second guess it at all.â&#x20AC;?

play in a passing league like the Big 12 than the rightdown-your-throat SEC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most defenses are all about stopping speed now,â&#x20AC;?

Baylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Briles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re patient enough to line up with six offensive linemen, you get three yards per carry and people stand up cheer, more power to you.â&#x20AC;?

Look at how Baylor spread the ball around last season.

Lache Seastrunk had 158 rushing attempts, Shock Linwood had 128 and Glasco Martin had 120. Seastrunk is the only player among the three that rushed for more than 1,000 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at Baylor,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could have run with one guy. They just chose to run with more guys so people can stay healthy.â&#x20AC;?

Maintaining a fast tempo is the top priority for a spread offense. A typical game can feature 70-80 plays. If things get out of hand, offensive plays can stack up. BYU clicked off 99 offensive plays in a 40-21 blowout win over Texas. With that many plays, you must spread the ball around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to put somebody else in to get repetitions because that person is going to get

Coaches almost feel compelled to spread the ball around these days. Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates probably understood he should average 26 carries per game; he was their meal ticket to the 2005 BCS national title game.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18- to 21-year-olds may not be so selfless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep young people happy these days,â&#x20AC;?

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it now, they have this Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mgoing-to-transfer attitude.â&#x20AC;?

Peterson had 339 rushing attempts in 2004. That season, then-offensive coordinator Chuck Long used an I-back formation with bulldozer J.D. Runnels at fullback, a position thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practically gone the way of leather helmets.

Over the last five seasons, only eight FBS players nationally have had more carries than Peterson did as a freshman. Last season, Boston Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andre Williams rushed for 2,177 yards on 355 carries, but he was a senior.

Power is out and finesse is in. Big 12 coaches think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a selling point for their league, TCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gary Patterson said. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a recruit with NFL dreams, he said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for your body long term to
