Thousands of students attend 41st Quad Day Group likely breaks world record for enlisting most organ donors in one day BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

Despite some early rain, the 41st annual Quad Day gave hundreds of student organizations a chance to promote themselves to students at the University. Scott Ca rrico, event coordinator and Student Organization Resource Fee program adviser, said he estimated 10,000 to 12,000 students attended Quad Day. “It’s the most important recruiting day of the year,” he said. About 650 organizations set up tables across the entire Quad, each doing what it could to get the attention of students passing by. “We have our horns set out to attract people,” said Sara Timberlake, sophomore in FAA, who was on the Quad representing the Illini Cont raband, a campus cover band. Other groups handed out candy, pens or key chains as students signed up to receive information by email. New to Quad Day this year was the demonstration area, between Noyes and Davenport halls, where groups with more hands-on presentations set up. Pride had a meet-and-greet event, while others had demonstrations ranging from science to dance. Representatives from the Gift of Hope

Two Champaign firefighters watch as other firefighters put out remaining embers in a trash bin in front of 306 E. Green St. in Champaign on Saturday.

Fire still under investigation Champaign Fire Department evacuates everyone out of IHOP, Roland Reality apartments in less than 5 minutes BY KLAUDIA DUKALA STAFF WRITER

The source of a fi re that started in a trash bin outside the apartment building at 306 E. Green St. early Saturday morning is still being investigated, Champaign Fire Department officials said. Lt. John Hocking said investigators have determined that the fi re was human-caused but not whether there was malicious intent. “There is a lot of debris on campus right now from all the people moving in,” Hocking said. “It’s important to

keep all that debris away from ... any ignition sources.” The emergency, which lasted about an hour and a half, was reported to the Champaign Fire Department around midnight. The fi re was found soaring out of the trash bin, which spread toward overhead balconies. Firefighters then evacuated Green Street between Third and Fourth streets nearest to the Roland Realty apartment complex. Resident Dan Berger, sophomore in DGS, was getting ready to head out for the night when he noticed

the fl ames leaping out of the trash bin right beneath his apartment’s balcony. “My initial reaction was to try and grab as much as I could,” he said. “It was very surreal seeing our balcony engulfed in fl ames.” Berger said the emergency responders quickly evacuate the building and estimated that everyone was cleared out in under five minutes. Customers of IHOP, the building adjacent to the apartment, were also evacuated as a precaution immedi-

ately after the fi re was spotted. Manager Jenny Kroncke said customers and staff tried to remain calm as they exited. “After we were out, people were still trying to pay their bills,” Kroncke said. “We didn’t accept their money, though; that wouldn’t be fair in this situation.” She said everyone was evacuated in time and nobody suffered any injuries. Bystander Kendall Rodheim , sophomore in LAS, was walking down Green Street when emergency responders began blocking off the road. “People were being evacuated everywhere,” she said. “The apart-

Despite the hit that crops took this summer during the drought, there were still 30,000 ears of sweet corn to go around at the 37th annual Urbana Sweetcorn Festival this weekend. For the past several years, the Urbana Business Association has sponsored and coordinated the free two-day event, which is held between Cedar and Vine streets in downtown Urbana. “Corn is something that identifi es the area,” said Cynthia Johnson , executive director of the association. “(Because of) a demand from the community, we have recently switched over to buying locally grown corn.”

Matt Soltys, senior in AHS, husks an ear of corn, along with 3,462 other people, directly following New Student Convocation on Friday. Members of the Class of 2016 and new transfer students broke the world record for the greatest number of people simultaneously husking corn. A representative from Guinness World Records was on hand to certify the results, and Guinness presented a certificate to the University on the spot. The corn was washed, cooked and served for dinner Friday night in University dining halls.

In addition to sweet corn, there were many activities for kids. A parking lot on the north side of Main Street hosted an array of bouncy-house fun, as well as rock climbing, sumo wrestling, minigolf, bull riding and balloon animals. While many students attended the festival, Johnson said people come from all over. “Our average attendance in the past has been somewhere around 50,000 people,” she said. “It’s really big for students and people to be able to come to a big festival like this for free.” James Hascall, Urbana resident, said his family puts the

For the second year in a row, a local, family-owned company from Warrensburg, Ill., Maddox Sweet Corn Farm, supplied all corn at the festival . Owner Ted Maddox said to ensure the corn was just perfect, he and his family had to plan two months in advance, down to the day of crop planting. “This corn was planted on June 12 for this festival specifically,” Maddox said. In addition to food and merchandise vendors, informational booths for groups such as U-Cycle, an Urbana recycling organization, were also set up. “We have six locations where people can throw their recyclables, and we also have bins, so corncobs will be composted,” volunteer Tina McCombs said.

Wake-Up Call helps 200 black students survive college life African American Cultural Center hosts welcome-back event BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

MELISSA MCCABE THE DAILY ILLINI

Stephanie Maddox, of Warrensburg, Ill., talks to Taylor Maddox as they sell ears of corn during the 37th Annual Urbana Sweetcorn Festival on Saturday in Urbana. Maddox Sweetcorn Farm supplied the corn for the festival.

SWEET CORN FROM PAGE 1A festival on their calendar every year. “It’s such a blast to get to hang out with the family and enjoy Urbana. We love it. Every year everyone gets a new piece of jewelry,” said Hascall, as he showed off his and his daugh-

ter’s new treasures from a merchandise stand. The festival also featured a petting zoo, new this year. “We’ve got around 30 animals altogether,” said Kevin Ritchharts of Ritchharts Mobile petting zoo. These animals included a kangaroo, cow, camel, sheep, alpaca, baby rabbits and five different types of goats. Nine-year-old Abby Hascall

pet a camel named Shana and fed her grain. “The camel was my favorite because it spit on my shirt,” she said. This year’s headliners included two popular ’80s and ’90s bands, Warrant and FireHouse. “For each night, we tried to go with a theme and target an audience with a certain genre,” Johnson said. “Friday night, we

went with a blues-rock theme, and for Saturday, we leaned towards ’80s hair band music.” Johnson said she saw people setting up chairs in front of the stage as early as 1:30 p.m., though the concert didn’t begin until 6 p.m. “(The festival is) a farewell to summer and welcome back to school for college students,” she said.

QUAD DAY FROM PAGE 1A Organ & Tissue Donor Network also had tents set up on the Quad as they attempted to break the Gu inness World Record for the most people to sign up to be an organ donor in one day. According to the afternoon tally around 3 p.m., the record, 765 donors, had already been broken, spokesman Tony Sullivan said. Phil ip Robertson, adjudicator for the Guinness Book of World Records, said he anticipated that the record would be made official by Sunday evening. The Illini Union hosts the event every year, and Liezl Bowman, marketing director at the Illini Union, said Quad Day offers students the opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. “Imagine how big the Quad is, and you still fi nd each other somehow,” Bowman said.

Wake-Up Call, a 7th annual welcome-back event hosted by the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, brought about 200 African-American students together Saturday night. The event was intended to guide students on surviving college life, encouraged academic excellence, community-building and provided students with resources for the rest of their college careers and beyond. Kelis King, co-chair of the event and junior in Business, said the event was a success. “I feel like the freshmen were able to take a lot of good information out of it,” King said. King said that the need to give students the right information is increasing as the number of African American students attending the University increases. “I am really excited that each year the number of African American students is increasing, and we (the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center) are able to make the difference,” he said. “With that increase of numbers, I feel that the Wake-Up Call helps to retain them, which is our whole purpose of the show.” The event began with raffle prizes for freshmen students, a flash mob and presentation from

guest speaker Sherrika Ellison, who spoke about what to expect from college. Students also fi lmed a video called “Freshmen Me” to give a one-sentence piece of advice to freshmen who attended the event. Denise Akuamoah, senior in LAS, said she wished she had someone to give her advice her freshman year. “I am actually really sad that I didn’t come my freshman year,” Akuamoah said. “I think it was a big eye-opener, and I think they now understand that everyone is there to help them; they have all the resources that are necessary, and it is up to them to use those resources.” Quintis Perry, senior in ACES, has been a volunteer for the event since sophomore year. He said the event turnout was unexpected. “The outcome this year versus last year was very different,” Perry said. “Last year, we barely fi lled the auditorium of Foellinger, and this year, the first floor was all packed. It has not been that way before.” He said that coming to the Wake-Up Call as a freshman really helps students meet other students. “Coming to the U of I as a freshman was really overwhelming... you feel alone, but you will soon fi nd out that everyone started in your position,” he said. “Coming to the Wake-Up Call, you establish that family already.”

Ariz. border-security committee pushes for Mexican border fence PHOENIX (AP) — Members of the Arizona Legislature’s border security advisory committee want the state to begin building a mile of fencing along the border with Mexico even though it has raised only a fraction of the needed money. The committee has raised just 10 percent of the $2.8 million needed to complete a mile of fencing. The ultimate goal is to build 200 miles of border fencing. State Sen. Steve Smith, R-Maricopa, tells the Arizona Republic he believes more private donations will come in once construction begins. Construction could begin by the end of the year using private fencing companies, some donated supplies and prison inmate labor, Smith said. The project is meant to complement the federal government’s border fencing program. The Legislature created the committee in 2010 and tasked it with making recommendations to the governor about how to handle the border, and the fence project is one of its key goals.

Members include Republican state lawmakers, county sheriffs and state department heads. Despite the committee being charged with making security recommendations, none have been made since it began meeting in March 2011. “I don’t think we have enough info to make a recommendation,” said co-chairman Rep. Russ Jones, R-Yuma. “There’s so much technology that’s important given the challenging terrain.” The committee also has failed to meet state law requirements that it fi le monthly status reports, and it hasn’t met since April. In November 2011 the committee submitted its fi rst and only report to the governor, speaker of the House and Senate president, detailing the prior nine months of meetings. Jones said they are looking into revising the law requiring monthly reports. “Reporting once a month becomes cumbersome,” he said. “We don’t have enough new information to go through the bureaucracy.”

Student newspapers should deliver content to readers while learning in the process

tudent media made a stand on Aug. 15. The top editors at The Red and Black independent student newspaper at the University of Georgia resigned after they felt their editorial decisions were being compromised. The culmination of tension that began in April and continued through the summer burst when a member of the board of directors wrote a draft memo regarding the news the paper should cover. Polina Marinova , editor-in-chief, wrote in a statement, explaining that she resigned because she “took great offense” to the content of the memo regarding good and bad news. The memo described bad content as “content that catches people or organizations doing bad things. I guess this is ‘journalism.’ If in question, have more GOOD than BAD.” This memo, in addition to the board adding 10 non-students with veto power over content and promoting the editorial adviser to the position of editorial director, the staff had enough. We commend the editors of The Red and Black for standing up for what all student media should strive for: delivering readers with content and learning along the way. We speak for the entire The Daily Illini staff when we say that we take great pride in creating, editing and approving all of our content, design and photos before providing it to our readers. We certainly could not do what we do if we didn’t have our professional staff’s full trust in our ability to produce the news. Without that control, collegiate newspapers fail in their purpose. It’s no secret that newspapers are struggling, whether they be professionally or student-run. However, no matter the financial situation, content should never be compromised. Every newspaper and media outlet is meant to serve their specific community. Money aside, that is our job and mission as journalists — students or professionals. And if the students are being instructed to do things a certain way, the newspaper will never be what is right for its audience. As students serving students, our news judgement — as well as our development of that judgement — is more valuable than what a professional staff could provide the University. Sure, we make mistakes. But that is one of the great forms of learning. Our mistakes are corrected, and it’s better to have a small factual error than to hide some of the “bad” news, which doesn’t provide the transparency our readers deserve. The editorial staff of The Red and Black proved that students always have a voice. Fortunately, seven days ago, the board and former editors came to a resolution, agreeing that student journalism is training for the real world and The Red and Black board lost sight of that. Every editor has been reinstated to their old positions and now can get back to what they always should be doing: making their own decisions and serving their campus and the Athens, Ga., community.

Let’s burn down rape culture TOLU TAIWO Opinions columnist

live in a fight-fire-with-fire world, and I have to admit: Sometimes, I’m an eye-foran-eye kind of girl. Yes, some may call me passive. But I’m not about to let you tease me without teasing back. A push — metaphorically or psychically — will get you a push back. And if you hack my Facebook profi le page, I swear, I will get back at you so fast, it’ll make Mark Zuckerberg’s head spin. But sometimes we burn our fires a little too brightly and gouge out eyes too deep. Sometimes, we need to ask ourselves where we should draw the line. And I’m pretty sure doling out rape threats to a representative’s workforce and family is defi nitely where the line comes down — hard. Todd Akin, R-Mo., the representative who spoke out very controversially on rape and abortion a couple of weeks ago, has seen threats toward female members of his family and staff, according to the Washington Post. Specifically, rape threats. Yes, you heard correctly — the same issue that Akin

has been criticized for is coming back to haunt him. That’s not OK. That is not OK. A few more things are absolutely worse than that, but I am 110 percent sure that this is right up there. I’m not condoning the remarks Akin made at all. Don’t forget, he is the man that claimed that women who are “legitimately raped” don’t get pregnant because their body apparently has a super-human way to shut down the awful. I don’t really know what science Akin and his team of doctors have been working with, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how pregnancy works. And when I heard what he said, I was appalled. It doesn’t take two cents to realize how offensive this is to rape victims everywhere. However. There is no excuse for sending the man’s family and his staff these threats. There’s something so convoluted about this, and the worst part is that some of these people who sent these could be activists for women’s rights or pro-abortionists. Guys, we should know better. We should rise above it. Even if he wasn’t courteous enough to apologize to women directly afterward, which he did eventually, I would still feel the same way. Not because I sympathize with the man and support him, because that’s obviously not the

case, but because he is a human being, just like us, and doesn’t deserve to be berated in this way. Let’s also not forget that the people who are directly threatened aren’t Akin; they are his staffers and family — and they didn’t make the statement. They may be anti-abortion , and they may believe this science thing that Akin is pushing, but they are not Akin. We have beef with Akin, not his wife. Maybe we’re looking at the issue all wrong. What do we gain by sending threats — rape or otherwise — to Akin, his family, his staff, his pastor, his mailperson, or anyone else? Wouldn’t it feel better to get our anger out in healthier ways? The bigger problem here, honestly, doesn’t have to be Akin or even an abortion debate. We can ignore Akin’s wrongness altogether and focus on rape, and we can work to stop it wherever we are. Whether it’s the art of writing letters to senators about enforcing more protection against rape, participating in a “Take Back the Night” walk, or just simply walking home with friends, there are a thousand more things we — Republicans, Democrats or whoever — can do that don’t include threatening to rape someone.

First day, full circle JORDAN HUGHES Opinions columnist

here is something timeless about the first day of school — the energy in the air is unlike any other. It may be your first day as a student on campus or your fourth and final time starting classes in the fall. We are all the same in that we are starting the first day of the rest of the year. Regardless of your age, something is still exciting about the first day. Each year of college is great. But I think there is some truth to the statement that “your first and your last years of school will be your best.” Allow me to explain. Freshman year and senior year may seem like night and day. Because they are. I can speak for most of my friends when I say that a freshman in college is in a completely different place in their life than a senior in college. I may be only a week into my

year as a senior on this campus, but I can already tell that the excitement of this year will mirror that of freshman year. Both have this sense of urgency. As a freshman, it is the urgency to become a part of this campus. As a senior, it is the urgency to do everything you want before you are no longer a part of this campus. Both years in school reflect a sort of unity within your graduating class. As freshmen, we were all in this together. Everything was new and exciting, and there was a sense of camaraderie between the newbies on campus. We lived together in our dorms, ate together in the cafeterias and went to every home football game. Things switch as the years progress. As sophomores and juniors, you begin to find your niche of friends, you decide on a major, and you become a part of something. You learn about yourself, and you learn where you fit on this campus. When you become a senior, there is a return to that sense of camaraderie that you felt as a freshman. The drive to have fun and get the most out of each experience

becomes heightened as you realize that this is the last time you will start class in the fall. This is your last welcome week, your last Quad Day and your last set of home football games. The more the merrier is the theme I see being played out this year. Everyone wants to spend time with each other in big groups. We know that the year will fly by, so we decide early on that this year will be different. We will stay up later, make fewer excuses and appreciate everything that goes hand in hand with being college students for the last time. As seniors, we may feel miles away from our freshman selves, but if we look hard enough, we will see that they are still in there somewhere. You may not wear your lanyard around your neck anymore and you may live in an apartment, but chances are, you are still excited for what this year has in store. Perhaps even more so than when you first stepped on to campus wondering what to expect from your college years.

will all start with an innocent remark, just a little comment on the day’s news. Next thing you know, half an hour has disappeared, most of which was spent shouting yourself hoarse over your best friend, and you feel absolutely miserable. Politics. It does bad things to people. As this is an election year, it will be impossible, try however hard you may, to avoid every encounter with questions of governance. Unless your views on American politics fall between apathetic and bemused, there will be at least one issue (or person or event) that you feel quite strongly about. Mix such a chance encounter with the issue in question and disaster may be waiting; the instinct to jump in and say your piece could be irresistible. For the sake of your sanity and your friendships, please, be very careful with how you give in to that instinct. As an example of how not to discuss politics, just look at any large-enough cross-section of the punditry; inevitably, once the sample becomes large enough, some will fall off the cliff of thoughtful discussion and into the bowels of mockery. Most, at least, have the decency to rise above the name-calling of “Look out! Lib-tard alert!” or “Nazi racist trash!” that fill up comment thread after comment thread. But even when they avoid saying such things directly, the implication can still be there, loud and clear. It is part of human nature to like being right. We want very much to be right, and often that requires us to denigrate any other belief. Clearly what we think is right. Clearly everyone else must be a fool for thinking differently. Clearly if people were on our level of sophistication, they would agree with us. However, no good argument exists in a vacuum. Writers, such as myself, do not just write to fill the void with words; we have readers and want to be read. A good argument, likewise, wants to do something for those who hear it. Maybe the argument wants to convince, or maybe the argument wants to show a new perspective. If all an argument does is pat its speaker on the back and tell them — and anyone who already agrees with them — how awesome and clever they are, then that does a listener who disagrees no good at all. The delivery of an argument, just as much as the content, is crucial. If the delivery is particularly bad, it can repulse the listener and make them less likely to agree with the points made, even when those points are great. Jumping into a debate with the full intent of changing someone else’s mind requires a bit of ego, after all, not to mention a feeling that your fellow debater is somehow deficient. Without care, the resulting air of superiority will turn away even the closest of friends. This is part of the reason why I rarely let myself call anyone a bigot, even though there are plenty of people I think are welldeserving of the title. The only exception I might make is if it is universally agreed said person is a bigot. Otherwise it does no good. If I start calling people names and either they or someone who thinks well of them hears this, they immediately go on the defensive. Instead of listening to my arguments and impassioned pleas, they are thinking what an idiot I am (and probably thinking I am the bigot myself). Whatever hope I had of making a point is long gone. When we feel as though the fervently-believed truths of our world — actual truthfulness notwithstanding — are under attack, we can cling to those beliefs all the tighter. So if you feel that you really, really must convince someone else that your beliefs are better and, at the same time, you sense that they are getting defensive, then stop. Just stop. Come back to the issue some other time; no further progress can be made. You will both be glad to be spared the headache.

American hero dies due to heart complications BY LISA CORNWELL AND SETH BORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — Neil Armstrong made “one giant leap for mankind” with a small step onto the moon. He commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century’s scientific expeditions and becoming the first man to walk on the moon. His first words after the feat are etched in history books and

the memories of the spellbound millions who heard them in a live broadcast. Armstrong, who had bypass surgery earlier this month, died Saturday at age 82 from what his family said were complications of heart procedures. His family didn’t say where he died; he had lived in suburban Cincinnati. He was “a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job,” his family said in a statement. The moonwalk marked Amer-

ica’s victory in the Cold War space race that began Oct. 4, 1957, with the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik 1, a 184-pound satellite that sent shock waves around the world. The accomplishment fulfilled a commitment President John F. Kennedy made for the nation to put a man on the moon before the end of 1960s. Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs.

GARRY TRUDEAU

BY MATT SEDENSKY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KEY WEST, Fla. — Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred Florida Keys residents from their fabled nonchalance Sunday, while the Gulf Coast braced for the possibility that the sprawling storm will strengthen into a dangerous hurricane by the time it makes landfall there. It was on course to strike land on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a powerful storm that crippled New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and became a symbol of government ineptitude. Forecasters expected Isaac to pass the Keys late Sunday before turning northwest and striking as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere between New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday. The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning for a large swath of the northern Gulf Coast from east of Morgan City, La. — which includes the New Orleans area — to Destin, Fla. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of between 96 and 110 mph (154 to 177 kph). Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called a state of emergency and suggested that people begin leaving low-lying parts of the state. He also said he may skip a speaking engagement later this week at the Republican National

Elected leaders’ vigilance toward tropical storms has heightened in the seven years since Katrina struck. Criticism was leveled at officials reaching all the way to the White House over what was seen as the federal government’s slow and bungled response to the storm that killed 1,800. An emergency declaration

was also issued in Mississippi by Gov. Phil Bryant amid concerns of storm surge threatening low-lying areas. Oil companies began evacuating workers from offshore oil rigs and cutting production in advance of Isaac.

Quinn vetoes bag recycling bill Bill would have required plastic bag recycling programs by manufacturers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed a bill Sunday that would have required plastic bag manufacturers to set up collection and recycling programs, calling it a “roadblock” for local communities to make their own choices. The proposed law says manufacturers must set up recycling programs with the goal of increasing the recycling rate by 12 percent by 2015 and to eventually make bags from at least 30 percent recycled content. It also would have required manufacturers to register with Illinois officials, as retail stores would have been able to use bags only from registered manufacturers. And local municipalities would have been prohibited from enacting their own plastic bag laws, includ-

DAN DOUGHERTY

ing bans. Environmentalists, including a young teenager who led a petition drive against it, did not support the bill. They claimed that the goals set by the law were minimal and that local communities could do more by passing their own laws. Plastic bag manufacturers and the Illinois Retail Merchants Association supported the bill. Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, said he wanted to work on a better plan to increase recycling efforts. “Let’s not tie the hands of innovative Illinois municipalities that are laboratories of reform for Illinois,” Quinn said in a statement. “While well-intentioned, this legislation is a roadblock to innovation that would do little to boost recycling in Illinois. We can do better.” Dozens of cities nationwide have banned plastic bags, including Los Angeles and Seattle. Some municipalities fine customers who use them because of concerns over petroleum products, littering and animals becoming tangled in or swallowing them. In Illinois, Champaign had been consider-

ing a fee or ban on plastic bags. Manufacturers said they were disappointed in Quinn’s decision. Lawmakers could still vote to override Quinn’s veto. Mark Denzler, vice president of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, said in a statement that the law “represented an opportunity for Illinois to lead the nation in recycling plastic bags and plastic film that account for a major part of the waste stream.” He said that without a statewide regulation manufacturers and retailers would face a “confusing and costly patchwork of regulations across the state.” Meanwhile, 13-year-old Abby Goldberg of suburban Chicago celebrated the decision. She led a petition drive against the bill with some 170,000 signatures and has pushed for her hometown of Grayslake to ban them. “I couldn’t sit by quietly while big plastic tried to push this bill through my state,” Goldberg said in a statement. “I care too much about animals, our environment, and our future natural resources to be silent. That’s why I took action.”

Volleyball starts 1-2 in Dayton tourney BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

Well, it’s definitely a new season. There will be no 20-0 start for Illinois volleyball this year, and a rise to the top of the rankings can be removed from the to-do list, at least for now. The Illini dropped their first six sets of the 2012 season, good for two losses, courtesy of Dayton on Friday and No. 11 Pepperdine in their first Saturday contest. Illinois bounced back in the second game Saturday to top Ohio 3-1, but after a 1-2 weekend to start its season, the national championship Illinois was two sets from winning couldn’t seem further away. Heading into the tournament, the team knew it was facing a feeling-out process, with a roster featuring several key players whose weekend in Dayton served as their first collegiate volleyball experience. Despite the lack of experience, its No. 7 ranking was good to make Illinois the tournament favorite. But very few things went in Illinois’ favor once the games began. “There was nothing that we executed the way we want to,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “I thought we at least should have something that we execute well on, but we really struggled in every phase. Mostly because I think we were nervous and we played really tight.” Dayton was able to avenge a five-set Illini victory from 2011 in which the Flyers held a 2-0 set advantage before the Illini came back to win a thriller at Huff Hall. The Illini struggled on the attack in Friday’s match, committing 14 attack errors to Dayton’s seven and being outblocked 9-2. “This is a buzz saw we came into tonight,” Hambly said in a postgame press release. “They were ready for us.” Former Illini Jazmine Orozco and No. 11 Pepperdine also shut out Illinois, despite having fewer team blocks and more attack errors. Pepperdine had 48 kills to Illinois’ 33. Orozco hit .450, had 11 kills and tied for the team lead with 10 digs. Redshirt freshman Jocelynn Birks was a bright spot for Illinois. She led the team with 44 kills on the weekend, including a debut in which she had 16 kills on .452 hitting. Despite losing her first two college matches, Birks was just happy to get the chance to play. “It didn’t really turn out as we would have wanted, but it was still really fun and I’m glad I got to experience playing and actually putting the jersey on,” Birks said. “I was nervous, of course. I had a lot of emotion, but in the end, I’m really excited still, even after we’re done playing.” Despite Hambly’s high expectations, the team was not discouraged after the disappointing weekend. “Yeah, we lost, but we’re gonna take as much positive from it as we can, though, as far as learning what it takes, what we did wrong — so we can start focusing on those things,” sophomore Liz McMahon said. McMahon had 14 kills in Saturday’s finale to help push Illinois over the top and into the wins column. McMahon said the team was able to identify its weaknesses — taking plays off and toughness — to work on in practice. Although both of those are likely a product of a more organic flaw: inexperience. “Every year, it takes time to get the team going the direction you want it to,” Hambly said. “We have a lot of work ahead of us, as we do every year. And this year we just don’t have quite as much experience, so it’s gonna take a little bit longer to figure some things out.”

How Beckman is changing Illini culture New coach works to build excitement, competition BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman wanted to take advantage of his first Quad Day at Illinois. He, alongside new men’s basketball head coach John Groce, took to a table to autograph posters for students before inviting them to Memorial Stadium to watch the Illini practice Sunday night. Beckman even planned on having the fans storm the field and take a photo to try and set a world record, but that was derailed by a thunderstorm. As the players moved their practice from Memorial Stadium to the Illini’s indoor facility and Beckman ran through the rain to avoid getting soaked, he was waving fans to come join and watch the rest of the practice inside Irwin Indoor Facility. The idea comes from his days at Toledo, where Beckman would schedule an open practice and give fans a chance

his isn’t going to be your typical sports column. We need to get that out of the way immediately. I hope it doesn’t make things awkward, just give me a minute to explain. I just don’t care about the professional sports, statistics and fantasy leagues. To me, sports are life. Sports are unavoidable. Trust me, I’ve tried to avoid them. Sports are everywhere, in principle and in theory. There are over 70 listed athletic and recreation organizations on campus in addition to the 21 Division-I sports and, of course, there’s the overwhelming presence of professional sports worldwide. Then there’s intramural activities, workout facilities and the fact that everywhere you look someone is playing something. You might consider yourself not a sports person or a sports fan, or think you have absolutely no interest in sports, but really, sports are a gateway between the principles of play and reality.

“A successful season is winning a Big Ten championship,” linebacker Jonathan Brown said. “That’s what we’ve been working on ever since Coach Beckman got here. We talk about it every day, and we just want to go out there, and we want to do it every day in practice and every game.” Now when the players walk around in the football facilities, they don’t wear shoes because Beckman wants them to treat it like their home. During the team’s media day earlier this month, Beckman even hinted that the Illini may not return to Rantoul. He shortened the normally twoweek camp into a week this season and said he wasn’t sure about returning next season. If Illinois can buy into these changes, Brown thinks that his team could be better than last year. “It’s a new opportunity and we recognize that, so we’re ready to go out there and prove ourselves,” Brown said. “I think we have a lot of talent on this team and a close group of guys.

Facing some of the toughest competition the team has seen this season, the No. 22 Illinois soccer team dropped Sunday’s match against No. 5 UCLA 2-0 for its first loss of the season — two days after the Illini defeated UC Santa Barbara 1-0. Junior Vanessa DiBernardo, who was the leading scorer last year, has been playing for the U.S. under-20 women’s national team, but her absence has given other players a chance to show what assets they can bring to the offense. “We have a lot of versatile players,” senior Shayla Mutz said. “Vanessa is obviously a huge component and a great player, but I think everyone has been doing a good job of playing to their strengths in order to fill the gaps that Vanessa is leaving.”

In DiBernardo’s absence, the Illini have still managed to have a strong attacking line. It allowed Mutz, who was moved to the back line this year, to score the winning goal against UC Santa Barbara. During the early minutes, she put one in the back of the net with a header from the box. “The fact that we are creating chances is the good part because finishing them is something we know we can do,” Mutz said. “We’re confident about scoring goals in the future.” During the second half, both teams were able to create chances, but none were put away. Goalkeeper Steph Pannozo was able to earn her second shutout of the season, well ahead of her eight-game shutout pace from last season. The defense also underwent some changes after graduating Jenna Carosio last season. She played a huge role on the defensive line and quickly adapted to the formation adjustment of having only three women in the back. This year, the Illini

Despite strong 1st half, Broncos falter against 49ers BY ARNIE STAPLETON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Peyton Manning was magnificent in his final regular-season tuneup Sunday, throwing his first two touchdown passes for the Denver Broncos in a 29-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 122 yards, including TD tosses of 10 and 5 yards to Eric Decker, and was nearly perfect. After managing one TD to go with four turnovers in his fi rst seven possessions this preseason, Manning drove the Broncos (1-2) to scores on all three of his possessions, then put on his visor with 46 seconds left in the first quarter after staking Denver to a 17-0 lead. Alex Smith threw a 49-yard TD pass and David Akers kicked five field goals for the Niners (2-1), who outscored the Broncos’ backups 19-0 in the second half. For the second straight week, the Broncos’ backups were awful. In blowing a 24-10 halftime lead, they’ve been outscored 40-0 after halftime in the last two games.

Manning was money after that. He completed all six of his passes for 83 yards on a long drive that ended with his fi rst touchdown throw in orange and blue, a 10-yard strike to Decker, who beat Rogers over the middle. The highlight of drive was a 38-yard pass to running back Lance Ball, who left the game with a rib injury. Manning was blasted by linebacker Parys Haralson in the chest right as he released his longest pass of the preseason. Manning bounced right up, raced downfield, lined up in the no-huddle and hit running back Willis McGahee for 14 yards to the San Francisco 12. It was the second time Manning, who missed all of last season with a neck injury that required four operations, had been hit hard in the preseason, and both times he responded with a big pass for the first down. Four plays later, Manning found Decker wide open by the back left pylon for his second touchdown and a 17-0 lead over the 49ers (No. 4). The Broncos’ onside kick backfi red when Matthew Wil-

lis touched the ball about a yard early, and Smith found tight end Vernon Davis all alone along the left sideline for a 49-yard score. Then, Hanie underthrew Decker and former Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox intercepted at midfield. That led to Akers’ first field goal, from 33 yards out. Hanie threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Dreessen that made it 24-10 at halftime. San Francisco’s ground game, which had gained an NFL-best 378 yards through the first two weeks of the preseason, was stymied by the Broncos, who had allowed the Seattle Seahawks to rush for 228 yards a week earlier. Anthony Dixon had a 26-yard TD run and Akers kicked field goals of 45, 21, 32 and 44 yards. The 32-yarder came after a nearly 5-minute delay while officials tried to figure out the line of scrimmage following a confusing sequence that included a challenge that wasn’t allowable and a 15-yard penalty flag that was picked up. During that time, the officiating crew huddled with an NFL representative on the sideline.

ability to go to bed with a feeling of contentment. The fact that everyone, everywhere, has some connection with sports makes athletes the perfect humans to relate to. The pure essence of the game, worldwide popularity, accessibility and ability to relate to athletes is something nonexistent in any other area of life. Take the London Olympics, for example: With 36 sports offered, there was something that most everyone could find an interest in. And with 204 countries represented, most everyone could find someone to cheer for, with every athlete came a different story of hard work, success and failure. I wrote a 10-part series about an Olympic hopeful from Illinois, male gymnast Paul Ruggeri. I was able to relate every stage of his journey to my personal life: the excitement and passion of pursuing a dream and the frustration when facing roadblocks. Then came the anxiety and restlessness of waiting for results, the satisfaction after minor successes and the indescribable feeling of doing everything you possibly could and falling short.

little harder this year.” The holdovers, including players and coaches from when Ron Zook was coaching the Illini, have said they don’t want to talk about things from last year, even if they are positive, like the top-ranked defense. Wide receiver Darius Millines said the team is buying into Beckman’s system, expressing excitement over having the chance to use the whole field with the spread offense. Millines said of the 0-6 record to finish the year, “We’re starting to believe even more than we did ... those last six games.”

changed from a three-back to a four-back formation, providing the opportunity for players to step up in a leadership role that Carosio left. “Christina Farrell has done a really good job in the back line of organizing and talking,” senior Kristen Gierman said of the junior defender. “I think they’ve done a really good job holding us down back there.” Sunday, the Illini fell to the Bruins 2-0. They held tough in the beginning, keeping the score 0-0 at the half, but then allowed UCLA to score two goals in the second half. The fi rst goal was in the 48th minute on a breakaway from Zaki-

The fact that everyone, everywhere, has some connection with sports makes athletes the perfect humans to relate to. Ruggeri ultimately didn’t make the U.S. Olympic team. He’s a human like everybody else, even though he could probably scale a building and then do multiple back flips on top of it. His journey of ups and downs, differing emotions and a progression through stages of life are applicable to your work life, personal relationships and education. Through sports, you can emphasize with these feelings on a large platform. When Gabby Douglas became the first American gymnast to win the individual and team all-around gold medals, she inspired not only young gymnasts and African-Americans across the nation, but any young person with dreams about any form of success. Look at cyclist Lance Armstrong, whose fall from grace was displayed to the entire world. Every part of his story is inspirational and relatable, even now. Life is continuing for him, despite everything that’s happened. Armstrong is the perfect example of real life, where people face remarkable successes and heartbreaking failures and even the intuition to walk away from it all. Every athlete has a story and the story never stops, even after the pinnacle of success is reached — just like with all of our lives.

Reds lose 8-2 to Cardinals, announce Votto’s return THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds are hoping for a strong fi nish to August after a difficult weekend series against the St. Louis Cardinals, and help is on the way for the NL Central leaders. The Reds announced Sunday that AllStar fi rst baseman Joey Votto will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at SingleA Dayton, a bright silver lining on the same day they lost 8-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals. Matt Holliday had four hits and four RBIs as St. Louis handed the Reds their second series loss in 13 sets since the All-Star break. The Cardinals have won five of six to move within six games of the fi rst-place Reds, who are 8-6 in a grueling stretch of 17 games in 16 days that manager Dusty Baker called the toughest of the season. “This was a tough series,” Baker said. “This is a tough stretch for us. We knew it’d be tough.” Votto hasn’t played since July 15 after injuring his left knee sliding into third base on June 28 in San Francisco. The 2010 NL MVP started the All-Star game and is hitting .342 with 14 home runs and 49 RBIs. “I’m a little apprehensive because I haven’t played in a long time,” Votto said before Sunday’s loss. “The work on the field has been good. I have a long way to go on my swing. The things that I’m uncomfortable about will come out when I play in Dayton.” The Reds could have used Votto on Sunday against Adam Wainwright, who won his fi fth consecutive start. Wainwright (13 -10) allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings while improving to 6-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last seven starts overall. The 6-foot-7 right-hander, who missed all of last season because of elbow surgery, hasn’t lost since July 18 at Milwaukee. “Wainwright threw the ball well,” Baker said. “There’s not much else to say,

St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Holliday hits a double to drive in a run in the seventh inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in Cincinnati. Holliday had four hits and four RBIs in the 8-2 St. Louis win. except they beat us.” Reds right-hander Homer Bailey (109) gave up five runs in six innings while falling to 1-3 with a 6.04 ERA in five August starts. He also allowed a seasonhigh nine hits for the sixth time. The Cardinals strung together four consecutive ground-ball singles during a five-hit third inning that plated three runs. Skip Schumaker led off with a double to right-center, and Wainwright chipped in with a one-out single into left field. Schumaker scored on Jon Jay’s base hit up the middle and Matt Carpenter singled to load the bases for Matt Hol-

liday’s two-run single to left. “That’s the way it goes,” Bailey said. “I can hold my head up high. I was trying to get them to hit ground balls and get some double plays and keep the ball in the yard. It wasn’t like I was all over the place. I didn’t have any walks. You’ve just got to tip your cap to them.” St. Louis added two more runs in the sixth to make it 5-0. Holliday hit a leadoff triple before Craig drove a 1-2 pitch over the wall in left for his 20th homer. Chris Heisey and Ryan Ludwick had RBI singles in the sixth for Cincinnati, which beat the Cardinals 8-2 on Saturday.

Holliday doubled in a run in the seventh and singled in Carpenter in the ninth. “It’s a situation where they came in swinging the bats,” Baker said of St. Louis, which fi nished with 42 hits in the series. “We couldn’t put them away.” The Reds open a three-game series at Arizona on Monday night. They are off Thursday before closing out the trip with three at last-place Houston. “We’ve got to push and push the next three days,” Baker said. “These are the dog days. We’ve got to fi nish strong in August.”

Tigers take advantage of Pujols absence in lineup, defeat Angels 5-2

There’s a little bit of an athlete or sports fan in everyone, even if you’ve never realized it before.

BY LARRY LAGE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s a little bit of an athlete or sports fan in everyone, even if you’ve never realized it before. This year, we’re going to explore everybody’s inner athletic persona. We’re going to find the less common themes and angles and the less talked about activities. We’re going to travel the bridge between life and sports and everything in between. We can look at athletes and learn from them, even if we never pick up a ball. Emily is a graduate student. She can be reached at bayci1@illinimedia.com. Follow her on Twitter @EmilyBayci.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer delivers a pitch against the Los Angeles Angels in the second inning Sunday in Detroit. The Tigers won 5-2.

DETROIT — The Los Angeles Angels had a shot to win two straight series for the first time in a month. Without Albert Pujols, it just didn’t work out. Ervin Santana yielded consecutive homers by Prince Fielder and Delmon Young in the sixth inning, and the Angels went on to a 5-2 loss to Max Scherzer and Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Los Angeles swept Boston before arriving in Detroit and closed a 4-2 road trip after starting the month 5-12. “We created a lot of momentum with the start of this trip, but we have to keep that going forward,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “There’s a big hole in our lineup without Albert, and the Tigers did a great job of keeping Mike (Trout) and Mark (Trumbo) in check. Well, they did a pretty good job of keeping everyone in check.”

Pujols missed his fourth straight game with an injured right calf and the Angels are targeting Tuesday for his return at home against Boston. “I’m feeling better,” he said. “But they want to give me another day off — whatever they want to do.” Scherzer (14-6) gave up one run and struck out nine over seven innings. Joaquin Benoit struck out two more in a perfect eighth, and Jose Valverde struck out another batter while closing it out. Santana (7-11) allowed four runs and five hits over seven innings. “I have to keep pitching like this,” he said. “My confidence is up, and I’m keeping my team in games. That’s the job.” Santana, who lost for the first time since July 21, struck out five and walked three. The free passes hurt him more than the hits that went over the fence, according to

Scioscia “He challenges guys with every pitch, and there are going to be times he gives up homers,” Scioscia said. “That’s how he’s pitched his whole career, and he’s shown that he’s better when he operates that way. I thought the walks were what hurt him. (Omar) Infante and (Andy) Dirks both walked, and they both scored.” The Tigers and Angels may be vying for an AL wild card with 30-plus games left in the regular season, and Detroit also rested one of its stars heading into an off day on Monday. Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera was out of the lineup for the first time this year, nursing his sore right ankle with the expectation he will be able to play third base Tuesday at Kansas City. Trout snapped an 0-for-9 skid with a leadoff single in the first inning and scored his 100th run of the year.

Japan wins Little League World Series title BY GENARO ARMAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Arms outstretched in the air with a smile from ear to ear, Noriatsu Osaka couldn’t contain his glee. Neither could his teammates from Tokyo after Osaka’s third home run of the game put an exclamation point on Japan’s 12-2 victory over Tennessee in five innings in the Little League World Series title game Sunday. The 12-year-old Osaka added a triple for good measure, too, to top off his 4-for-4 afternoon. In a symbolic gesture, Japan’s players jogged the traditional postgame victory lap carrying the flags for both their home country and the United States. “We had such a great time in Pennsylvania and we really played a good game today. It was kind of a, ‘Thanks,’” Osaka said through an interpreter. Starter Kotaro Kiyomiya struck out eight in four innings and added an RBI single for Japan. The game ended in the fifth after Osaka’s third homer made it a 10-run game. “We thought we played the best in the tournament so far, especially to win by the 10-run rule in the fi nals,” said 12-year-old Rintaro Hirano, who homered in the fourth to make it 10-1. A day after pounding out a 24-16 win over California in the U.S. title game, the Goodlettsville, Tenn., sluggers could only muster two hits — solo shots by Brock Myers and Lorenzo Butler. It was a bittersweet final game for two teams that grew close during their two weeks in South Williamsport. They exchanged customary postgame handshakes at the plate before Japan received the World Series championship banner and took their warningtrack run. “Tennessee was our best friends in the U.S. division,” Kiyomiya said. Japan’s jog fi nally stopped in front of the team’s giddy cheering section as proud family members and friends stood shoulder-to-shoulder to take pictures through the infield fence. There were so many highlights, including five home runs off Tennessee pitching. That was more than enough offense for 13-year-old ace Kiyomiya, who had a fastball clocked in the high-70s. The right-hander with the hitch in mid-delivery pitched like a big-league ace in allowing just one hit.

Tokyo, Japan’s Noriatsu Osaka rounds the bases past Goodlettsville, Tenn., second baseman Lorenzo Butler after hitting a walk-off, two-run home run in the fifth inning of the Little League World Series championship baseball game in South Williamsport, Pa., on Sunday. Tokyo won 12-2 in five innings. Regardless, this is still a banner year for Goodlettsville after its exhausting victory Saturday over Petaluma, Calif., for the U.S. championship. That game set a record for most combined runs in the World Series. The thrilling victory kept the Tennessee players and their families up late into the night. “(The parents) must have partied

harder than the kids did,” manager Joey Hale said. “I knew we’d be fl at today.” Tennessee lost a 10-run lead in the bottom of the sixth of that game before scoring nine times the next inning to fi nally put away Petaluma in a Little League classic. Even more impressively, Butler had three homers and a record nine RBIs —

a feat so unique the 12-year-old’s name became a trending topic on Twitter. Butler went deep again off reliever Osaka in the fifth — Butler’s fourth homer in two days — to cut the lead to 10-2 and give Goodlettsvile some home hope. Tennessee’s mini-mashers have proved they can break out any time at the plate. “It feels really good, and it was really

great,” Butler said simply about his hitting exploits. He said his three homers Saturday were the longest he had hit all season. Its pitching depth sapped, Tennessee turned to right-hander Justin Smith to start against Japan — the first time the 12-year-old had pitched in the World Series or in Southeast regional tournament.

Chicago maintains 2.5game lead in AL Central

CHICAGO — Tyler Flowers hit a go-ahead homer just before the fi nal downpour and the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a rainshortened game Sunday for their sixth straight victory. Immediately following a 6-minute rain delay in the seventh inning, Flowers launched a two-run shot off Kevin Millwood to lead fi rst-place Chicago to its second consecutive series sweep. Rain continued to pour until the tarp was put on to stay two batters later, and the game was called after a wait of nearly 2 hours.

CHICAGO — Chris Volstad ended a 24-start winless streak Sunday, allowing three hits in 6 2-3 strong innings for his fi rst victory in 13 months as the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 5-0 in a game shortened to eight innings by rain. Volstad (1-9), acquired from Miami for Carlos Zambrano, earned his fi rst win since he beat Houston while pitching for the Marlins on July 10, 2011. The major league record for consecutive winless starts is 28, shared by JoJo Reyes, Matt Keough and Cliff Curtis. Volstad was taken out to an ovation in the seventh after former Cub Tyler Colvin doubled with two outs and Chris Nelson walked. Manny Corpas then retired Jonathan Herrera on a fielder’s choice grounder to end the threat. Volstad struck out three and walked three in a 101-pitch effort. Shawn Camp pitched the eighth for his second save in five chances, completing a four-hitter. The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 23 minutes by rain. With Chicago leading 5-0, there was another delay after the eighth inning and the game was called 30 minutes later. Starlin Castro scored three times and Darwin Barney had two RBIs as the Cubs took two of three from the Rockies. Colorado right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (1-4), making just his second start since returning from the disabled list, gave up a run and five hits in five innings.
