BOARD OF TRUSTEES

UI budget proposal moves forward BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Top University officials are concerned about the financial future of the University, they said at the Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee meeting Wednesday. The committee passed the proposed Fiscal Year 2014 operating budget on to the full Board of Trustees, which will meet next Thursday. The proposed operating budget for FY14 totals $4.45 billion, an increase of $52.3 million, or 1.2

percent, over FY13. Vice President for Academic Affairs Christophe Pierre said the University is currently in a strong financial position, citing the University’s stable fiscal condition, a high number of quality students enrolling and University employees receiving notable raises. “There are some significant concerns,” Pierre said. “These are not new, but we are going to face them in the years to come.” The concerns that Pierre listed are a downward trend in state

funding, tuition constraints, statewide pension troubles and a decrease in the amount of federal research funding the University has received. “We rely more and more on tuition,” Pierre said. “We have increased tuition significantly, and I think we are running out of room to do so.” Tuition accounts for $1.064 billion, or 23.9 percent, of the University’s overall revenue, and the $52.2 million increase in tuition revenue paid for all but $100,000

of the budget’s increase in FY14. With state appropriations below FY1997 levels and, adjusted for inflation, below 1966 levels, and without much room for a tuition increase, Pierre said the University may need to focus its efforts on the reallocation of funds. Trustee Timothy Koritz said he agreed. “Down the road, the biggest thing we need to decide is what we’re good at and what we’re not good at, and maybe have our activities center on our excellence

in the academic realm,” he said. “It’s just going to become more and more difficult to be able to do the scope of what we do right now, unfortunately. It’s probably not the most popular thing to say, but it’s what strikes me as the biggest take-home message here.” Pierre responded to Koritz about the difficulty of deciding where to cut and which programs to keep. “It is a delicate balancing act between the need to preserve and

ELLNORA BY SAHER KHAN STAFF WRITER

Some of the world’s most prominent guitarists can be found in one place this weekend in Champaign-Urbana. The biennial ELLNORA Guitar Festival officially begins Thursday at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. ELLNORA, named after Herman Krannert’s wife, is a celebration of the diversity of the guitar with internationally known patrons and artists. With headlining acts such as Buddy Guy, Lucinda Williams, Johnny Lang and 24 other performers, the festival features a varied range of unique styles. This year marks the fifth anniversary of ELLNORA, which began in 2005 as the Wall to Wall Festival. This year’s events got an early start Tuesday with pre-festival events, including Local Heroes Night, a concert featuring Champaign-Urbana musicians. Today the festival officially begins, showcasing musicians from across the globe, united by their love for the guitar and its technique. Started by Krannert Director Mike Ross and his collaborator and New York Guitar festival founder, David Spellman, ELLNORA’s purpose is to provide a global perspective on music and an eclectic take on the guitar. This is achieved through the festival’s assorted lineup, with performers traveling from places as far as India and South Africa to those from the U.S. “ELLNORA is something special and something the community should take pride in,” said Bridget Lee-Calfas, advertising and public relations of Krannert. Lee-Calfas said the festival provides the community and students the rare opportunity to see huge names and talents for an affordable rate. Many of the performances are free, and the ones that are not are only $10 for students. “It’s a great opportunity to sample artistry too,” Lee-Calfas said. “Some of these people might be household names

But it’s a great opportunity to discover them and get to see them for little or no cost and really find out something special.” In a letter on the ELLNORA website, Spellman discusses ELLNORA’s significance. “Wherever you are on your journey

with the guitar, you’ll find both familiar haunts and new destinations here at ELLNORA,” he wrote. “Travel — musical travel — enriches and changes us, and those who make the trip to this festival will leave as expanded and deepened human beings.” Lee-Calfas said that she, along with Ross and Spellman, hope ELLNORA

gives people an opportunity to discover something special and fall in love with new types of sounds and artistry.

The world’s largest brewer will be opening its first permanent residence on a university campus at the University Research Park. Anheuser-Busch InBev will open its “Bud Lab,” a data analytics center, sometime this month. Director Rafael Pinterich will oversee the lab, selecting and implementing real-world experimental problems and also working closely with students. Bud Lab researchers will focus on developing data research and innovation to find creative solutions to programs ranging from assortment optimization, social media and market trends to large scale data initiatives, according to a press release. “This campus ... is known for a history of having innovation in big data and data analytics,” said Laura Bleill, assistant director of external relations at the Research Park. “Some cam-

Anheuser-Busch is also offering paid internships to select students across different majors and will have recruiters at different job fairs on campus this year, Bleill said. “One of the things about opening an operation here is that it provides both students and the company with a year-round work environment,” Bleill said. “Students come and work in the summer and then they can stay working year-round in a parttime capacity.” The Research Park currently houses 15 major corporations along with many other minor companies.

Citing Chancellor Phyllis Wise’s visit to AnheuserBusch’s operations in Brazil, Bleill explained that bringing major corporations’ operations takes “a lot of effort and time by a lot of people from all different areas of the University.” Laura Vallis, director of Global External Communications for AB InBev, said the company worked with students this summer on two key projects with four summer interns from the statistics and industrial engineering disciplines.

University comptroller Walter Knorr said the relationship with the state has hurt the University financially. He said the state ended FY13 with $6 billion in unpaid bills, in addition to even more Medicaid costs. The state was downgraded by Moody’s Investors Service on Aug. 6, and the University was downgraded three days later. Knorr said anyone who read the document could tell the downgrade was “totally on the state for the budget, financial and pension situation.� The committee discussed the budget, administrative appointments for the academic year and a $78.7 million one-time request from the state for FY15, as well as $35.9 million in purchase recommendations.

The basement of the animal science building is currently home to ethanol research labs that will move to a new $20 million building at the corner of Pennsylvania and Goodwin avenues after groundbreaking in early spring. The projects being conducted at the Center for BioEnergy Research’s (CABER) labs will move to the new state-funded building called the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory. Completion is expected about 18 months following groundbreaking. The state’s Capital Development Board designated more than $20 million in May to the

construction of the lab, according to the ACES website. The facility is designed to make it easy for companies to move their equipment in and out of the building, said Hans Blaschek, director of CABER and professor emeritus in the department of food science and human nutrition. “The building will allow companies to come in, scale up their particular project and have access to all different facilities,� Blaschek said. “We have figured out physical protection for companies in the building to ensure their information is kept secret to whatever extent they want.� So far, DuPont and Novozymes have signed on as affiliate companies, but Blaschek said he expects

many more to come once the building has been built. He said the new facilities and the ability to conduct projects on a larger, industrial scale, plus being surrounded by corn, will help. “It’s not only projects with converting biomass to fuels,� Blaschek said. “There’s been a push to get back to natural food colorants extracted from food like corn and soybeans.� He explained the controversy of the negative impacts of unnatural dye on children, such as the dye in maraschino cherries. In the new building, companies can experiment with natural food colorant extraction. Currently, professional science master’s graduate students

take two classes through CABER professors. One is about the broad scope of bioenergy systems, and one class focuses on professional speakers in the industry discussing topics like developing biodiesel with ethanol and the industry policy issues with corn ethanol. Eric Anderson, CABER visiting teaching associate, said with the new building, CABER would help the investigators collaborate and hold a role in running it. “There’s going to be much more lab space,� Anderson said. “Hopefully to be used by industry as well as academia.�

Obama: ‘Red line’ an international standard BY LESLEY CLARK MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he didn’t set the “red line� against Syria for the use of chemical weapons. Speaking at a press conference in Stockholm ahead of an economic summit in Russia, where he will seek support for a U.S. military strike against Syria, Obama said the “red line� he talked about a

year ago against Syria’s use of chemical weapons wasn’t his but an international standard. “I didn’t set a red line, the world set a red line,� Obama said. “My credibility is not on the line. The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America and Congress’ credibility is on the line because we give lip service to the notion that these international norms are important.� At an August 2012 White

House press c on ferenc e, Obama warned that “we have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start see ing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would cha nge my calculus. That would change my equation.� Obama is seeking approval from Congress to launch airstrikes against the Syrian government for a chemical attack

that did cross the so -called red line. A major argument for granting the authorization is that Obama and the United States would look weak if they did not act. Oba ma sa id Wed nesday that he didn’t pluck the idea of a red line “out of thin air,� but was referring to a global treaty banning the use of chemical weapons, “which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong.�

Fast-food workers deserve higher wages to support themselves

T

he prototypical fast-food worker is no longer the 16-year-old high-schooler working at Arby’s for gas money. Instead, the average age of the American fast-food worker today has more than doubled; the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the new median age of fast food workers is 29 years old. Compounded with age are increasing likelihoods that an individual in the fast-food industry has dependents (more than 25 percent are parents), rent or a mortgage, and some medical problems. And here’s where the problems start: Most fast food wages come nowhere near covering such expenses, nor do these jobs offer sufficient benefits to compensate. For this reason (and others), fast-food workers began staging protests around the U.S. last week demanding an increase in pay. Workers believe they should be a paid a minimum of $15-per-hour, or roughly double the current federal minimum wage. What’s more, there’s a good chance the industry giants could afford it without needing to pass much, if anything, onto consumers. Profit margins and revenues have increased to 4.6 percent and 12.1 percent respectively, yet revenue spent on payroll has actually decreased. However, critics decree such a proposition. They claim raising wages for fast-food workers would force restaurants to raise prices, which could hurt sales and ultimately force companies to downsize. Although we do quibble with the notion that the fast food industry would necessarily need to raise prices to a point that would drive off customers, there is a kernel of truth. In reality, it may very well be that Americans need to learn to pay more for fast food products instead of always expecting a dollar menu. Given the current economic reality, we support increasing the wages of fast-food workers. However, we do so with some reluctance. Raising wages for fast-food workers is not solely the cure. Higher pay does not equate to career advancement, job satisfaction, ancillary benefits or job security. A better, long-term solution is fixing the U.S. school system; an effective education, one that is affordable, engaging and keyed to current economic needs will go a long way toward getting people into growth jobs in which they can sustain themselves and their families. Many of the people currently stuck working in the fast-food industry are those who endured inadequate educational supports (31 percent have some college education). For them, higher wages may be the answer at the moment, but it should not be something we continue to lean on for future generations. It’s unfortunate, but true, that the fast food industry standard is bad for its workers; Americans’ desire for cheap food feeds this reality. Short of getting Congress to mandate higher wages (given its current composition, not likely), across the board there is little incentive for the fast-food industry to change its ways. Make no mistake, fast-food jobs are a great place for American teens and early 20-somethings to get their feet wet learning how to appease customers, deal with bosses, take responsibility and manage a personal budget. However, once out of the nest, relying on these jobs is perilous at best. Industry giant McDonald’s confirmed this when it released a “helpful� budget journal for its workers last summer. And, yes, McDonald’s budget journal confirmed that living on its substandard wages is completely reasonable, so long as you have a night job, too.

strike, and now Republican Senator John McCain has come forward to say that the House Republicans would be in the wrong if they voted against a U.S. strike against Syria. Considering that this generation has grown up with prolonged engagements such as Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War in Afghanistan, this generation’s views of war and conflict are definitely soured. We’ve experienced firsthand what happens when the U.S. intervenes in countries without officially declaring war and without the full support of Americans and politicians. However, even though I come from the same generation, I hold a fairly different opinion. I feel as though we should have intervened the moment Assad began attacking his own people. We should not have waited until this problem developed into a global conflict that allows thousands of innocent people to die everyday. Additionally, we have allowed the door to be open for jihadist groups to filter into the rebel coalition, which amplifies this revolution in terms of political and social views. It is imperative that the U.S. does not act alone in Syria. We cannot always be seen as the police barging into countries and changing what we do not like. We must have support from countries like France and Germany so that there is an international collaboration acting against Syria. We cannot let more innocent lives slip through our fingers as worldwide legislative bodies and politicians try to decide whether their actions will reflect positively if they vote yes or no. There must be action to resolve this now.

he start of school is also the start of barn dance season. That means it’s time for the members of nearly every campus organization to grab their flannels and their flasks and get ready to spend a night on a farm they’ll wish they were able to remember. Love it or hate it, barn dances are a staple of University of Illinois culture. They’re a very interesting one at that, involving getting sloshed along with the euphoria of country music, hay rides and an 80-year-old lady handing out Chex Mix. The barn owners oversee it all, reserving their judgments for the sake of taking in some extra income. It’s a pretty ingenious business model — charging students to come and party on what would otherwise be an empty piece of property. The owners are able to dodge a large part of liability, as the organizations themselves are responsible for enforcing the 21 drinking age. Aside from broken bales of hay and littered beer cans, the barns typically don’t experience any major damage. Loretta Dessen (aka the Chex Mix lady and owner of Farm Lake), told The Daily Illini in 2009, “I’m proud of this place. It is a glorious place to live, any season, day or night. I think the kids have a lot of fun.� The kids definitely do have a lot of fun. Barn dances are as popular as ever, with many students attending multiple dances per semester. But why are barn dances such a widespread phenomenon? The alcohol, right? Not so fast. Alcohol is abundant in Champaign-Urbana, between bars, house parties and liquor stores. If that was all students were after then why would they go through all the trouble of hiring buses, paying hundreds of dollars to rent a barn, and then taking on the legal liability? There has to be more to it than just the drinks. I think originality is a main component. The usual bar and apartment scene can sometimes get old, and barn dances are a good way to mix it up. Then, you add in the great tradition that the barn dance carries, and a much more profound message shines through: Of all the time that UI students spend on a campus surrounded by cornfields, barn dances are often the only occasions when students are actually connected with their rural surroundings. As students engross themselves in country living, enjoying the company of familiar and unfamiliar friends, a sense of unity is created that transcends what is possible in the everyday social scene. That is why barn dances should not simply be written off as a quirky University tradition that contributes to our reputation as the No. 4 party school in the nation. In a more subtle way, it is actually part of what makes the culture of this University so great. Of course, such gatherings do have their down sides. Last year, an Illinois State University sorority’s barn dance resulted in a girl being taken to the emergency room after falling into a bonfire. Her blood-alcohol concentration was nearly twice the legal driving limit. A separate incident in 2009 resulted in another ISU sorority reporting a sexual assault to police, though no charges were filed due to the victim refusing to cooperate. Granted, both of these incidents were at ISU, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that UI students are hardly exempt from moronic behavior. Nevertheless, these incidents haven’t hurt the tradition, nor should they. With thousands of students attending barn dances each semester without incident, there is no doubt that the barn dance can be a safe way to socialize in a more profound way than simply sitting in someone’s apartment knocking back Jack Daniel’s and listening to Florida Georgia Line. The barn dance is an experience that is unique to only a handful of schools throughout the nation that happen to be located near farms. While it does carry some negative connotations, the subtle bliss of it all should not be forgotten.

If we can’t laugh, then what’s the point? NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist

W

ith all other accomplishments aside, Bill Cosby has left two lasting impressions on my life — his contribution to the world of sweater fashion as well as the creation of my favorite quote: “Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.� I will give that a big, fat AMEN. Call me crazy, wrong or insensitive, but I am the firmest believer that we need humor to help us cope with all sorts of negative circumstances facing individuals, nations and even the world. As we all know, and have too often experienced, life is full of drama. Front page news headlines warn us of the slew of problems that the world just can’t seem to figure out. Sometimes we are bombarded with situations we didn’t ask for and certainly don’t want. Other times it’s our day-to-day routines that are interrupted by bouts of awkward encounters, embarrassing moments and an overall lack of gracefulness — or maybe that’s just me. But if we can’t take a step back and laugh at what a mess life can be, then what’s the point? When we are faced with the stress of everyday life such as being overwhelmed with work and extracurricular activities, or having issues with friends or family, it can be easy for us to shut down. And then there are those other

daily mishaps like wardrobe malfunctions, saying the wrong thing, clumsiness and potentially being turned into an Internet meme after being caught at our worst at Red Lion. When these mortifying moments happen to us, they can definitely be hard to shake off. But none of these supposed issues should be taken so seriously because in the grand scheme of life, our problems end up being so short-lived. Granted, in terms of comedy, timing is everything. There is definitely an appropriate time to laugh. And if it is not yet the appropriate time, give it a few minutes because chances are it will be funny later. Let’s say someone was to make a joke right after it happened about me hypothetically fainting and plummeting to the ground in the middle of a lecture. I would probably still be red in the face and humiliated. But give me a couple years to realize what a trivial moment it ends up being in my life and I will probably be willing to publicly write about it in a widely distributed student newspaper — hypothetically. Not only are our personal mishaps worth making light of, but the same can be said of current events. Take the recent news about President Barack Obama and his decision on whether to intervene in Syria. It’s a very widespread topic right now with a lot of serious talk around it. Of course, leave it to “The Onion� to turn a story like this into an all-out giggle fest with its satirical coverage. Several of its comments make you cringe and laugh at the same time — almost bringing a sense of guilt for finding it humorous. In one article, “The Onion� exaggerates a meet-

ing between President Obama and White House officials: “...when [Secretary of State] John [Kerry] argued that the use of airborne military force must be swift and decisive in order to diminish the likelihood of a subsequent ground invasion, that just made Obama double over and hurl all over the floor.� Many people consider this kind of humor tasteless. They see people laughing at serious topics and view it as ignorance or immaturity. But when we show that we have a sense of humor with any given situation, it basically acknowledges the fact that we understand it. If we are able to make jokes about not only ourselves, but national and international events, then it means we have enough knowledge about something to see how it can be poked fun at. We need to be able to fully comprehend something to understand why jokes and satire are so clever, hence why these Syria articles by “The Onion� are so funny. Clearly, we know that this is a heated situation that could have many implications for the United States, so one can’t help but laugh when picturing President Obama hurling during a serious meeting. Maybe I am so inspired by this particular Bill Cosby quote because I am trying to compensate for the uncomfortable amount of times I have publicly missed my mouth while eating food or I have mistaken someone waving at me for a high-five. Or maybe it’s the fact that news can often be so negative that people need a way to raise their spirits. Bottom line, we need to laugh.

US should intervene in Syria, but not alone MAX FISHER Opinions columnist

It

is no secret that the Syrian conflict has caused the international community to reach one its highest boiling points, especially since President Barack Obama recently announced that he would seek Congressional authorization to carry out a limited strike on Syria. Recent protests in Syria have been inspired by the populist uprisings in both Egypt and Tunisia against their respective oppressive governments in what has become known as the Arab Spring. In April 2011, Syrians took to the streets and began protesting against President Bashar al-Assad’s authoritarian regime. While Tunisian and Egyptian protestors were met with government resistance, it was nowhere near as brutal and inhumane as Syria’s response ordered by President Bashar al-Assad. Peaceful protestors in Syria were met with government security forces that did not even hesitate to shoot at, kidnap and even rape innocent Syrians. Soon, the protestors, like any human beings who value their lives, began to organize and fight back. It has now escalated into a civil war with an organized rebellion coalition, but Assad’s forces have recently set the rebels back. There seems to be no end in sight. The biggest reason why international attention has increased ten-fold is because chemical weapons, specifically sarin gas, have been thrown into the arena of war. Under current guidelines by the Chemical Weapons Convention, countries are not allowed to manufacture, stockpile or use chemicalbased weaponry. If Syria has used

these weapons, then it is violating an international treaty. This blatant disregard for a treaty that it agreed to has angered many countries in the international community. Chemical weapons have been banned dating back to World War I when the French began producing tear gas, so now countries like France, the U.S. and other Convention member countries believe Syria should be punished for their actions. But not all are willing to take action. The next step after a problem is presented is to form a solution, but what to do? How do you respond when almost every option seems like it will set off an unwanted chain of events? If Syria is attacked, then international giants such as Russia and China will be threatened. This idea of hesitation before intervention is definitely something some students here support: “Historically, taking action like this has never worked, especially when we get involved in these Islamic countries,� says Krupa Patel, freshman in LAS. Krupa brings up an interesting point. When the United States got involved in Iraq it turned out to become a prolonged engagement with numerous lives lost. However, if the United States and the international community do nothing, then more innocent lives will be lost to this deadly and illegal use of weapons. As each day passes, any action or inaction will inevitably cause or result in some negative outcome. Clearly, we cannot leave a dictator in power that shoots his own citizens and uses weapons that are banned worldwide. The Assad regime must go, but the rebellion coalition is gaining more and more non-secular influence from terrorist groups. Secretary of State John Kerry believes that we must

When it comes to weekend activities, Champaign-Urbana has no shortage. From concerts to art exhibits and sporting events, it may seem as if the biggest challenge Illini students face is deciding which events to cram into a single weekend. Read on to find out what’s happening this weekend both on campus and around the 217.

Thursday, Sept. 5 — Saturday, Sept. 7 A weekend at the Ellnora Guitar Festival, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts Guitar-enthusiasts will have plenty of activities to fill their schedule, as the Ellnora Guitar Festival, which kicked off Tuesday, continues through the weekend. Hosted by the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, an “Opening Night Party� is Thursday evening at 6 p.m. in both Stage 5 and Stage 6 in the lobby and the outdoor Amphitheatre and Southeast Terrace. It costs $5 to get in, and the evening will include performances from Fiona Boyes, Stephane Wrembel, The Lee Boys, Sam Bush/Del McCoury duo and Jonny Lang. The festival will continue through Saturday and will include a number of free admission shows. More information can be found at ellnoraguitarfestival.com/ schedule.

Thursday, Sept. 5 — Saturday, Sept. 7 “SeaScapes and Beyond� Art Exhibition and Fundraiser Laura Bradley is the artist behind “SeaScapes and Beyond,� Indi Go Artist co-op’s latest exhibit. She said the exhibit, which opened Aug. 30, is “an exciting opportunity to get (my) work out in the Champaign area.� Originally from Carbondale, Ill., Bradley said her exhibit appeals to both college students and anyone else who enjoys nature or natural scenery, as her pieces primarily feature landscapes and seascapes. “I hope viewers can walk away having seen some, hopefully, good works of art,� Bradley said. “It would be great if my exhibit could maybe inspire someone else to start creating their own works of art.� The exhibit will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. at 9 E. University Ave. on Thursday and will end on Saturday.

Friday, Sept. 6 — Saturday, Sept. 7 Cosmic Colors at the William M. Staerkel Planetarium

“Cosmic Colors: An Adventure along the Spectrum,� is a Parkland Planetarium exhibit designed to allow for the examination of colors that people can’t see visibly, like X-rays and infrared rays. During the show, audience members sit in a 50-foot hemisphere dome and view examples of infrared light, both on the ground and in space. “IMAX movies are big, but they don’t wrap all around you — that is what we do,� said Planetarium director David Leake. “Cosmic Colors is a full-dome show.� In addition to being a unique, visual experience, Leake said “Colors� is also “very informative and light-hearted.� The show has multiple soundtracks and narrators to keep viewers entertained. Tickets can be purchased at the door and cost $5 for adults and $4 for students, children and senior citizens. Located on the west side of Parkland College in northwest Champaign, “Cosmic Colors� will be shown at 8 p.m. The planetarium is located at 2400 W. Bradley Ave., Champaign.

Saturday, Sept. 7 Science at the Market Those with “science on the brain� may find “Science at the Market� to be an entertaining outing. Held on Saturday mornings at Lincoln Square Mall at 201 Lincoln Square, Urbana, from 8 a.m. to noon, students may come and have their science-minded questions answered. The market is located on the Community Groups aisle in the square at Lincoln Square. Inga Karliner, a retired research physicist, said the event consists of nine independent groups who each set up booths. At each booth, demos or specimen are shown to observers who can then ask questions. “Last week’s students from the group sponsored by the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology brought several robots (that) they designed and built,� Karliner said. “Other weeks, students brought nanomaterials, 3-D printers or DNA extractors.� In addition to observing scientific demos, students can also meet wiih other professors and students, speak with experts and explore science-related careers. “In fact, many of us are amazed that we get paid for what we love to do,� Karliner said.

Saturday, Sept. 7 “ILL-INI!�Football Illini fans can attend the home football game against the Cincinnati Bearcats at Memorial Stadium Saturday, starting at 11 a.m. After their win against Southern Illinois Aug. 31, the Fighting Illini football team currently holds a record of 1-0.

University alumna Bridget Doyle caught the travel bug early on in her college experience, leading her to study abroad multiple times in both her undergraduate and post-graduate years. Now as the outreach coordinator at the Study Abroad Office, Doyle helps current students explore the opportunities available to them through the Study Abroad Fair. The event is held at the Illini Union Room C and South Lounge on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and allows students to learn about different programs and their costs. Representatives from universities abroad and returnees from University of Illinois study abroad programs will share their experiences and address all students’ inquiries.

Obama’s speechwriter visits campus, shares tips and tricks BY JED LACY STAFF WRITER

He graduated as valedictorian from the College of the Holy Cross. He has served as Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama from 2009 to last March and has been the voice of some of his most famous political speeches. He was selected by GQ magazine as one of the “50 Most Powerful in the World� and by Time as one of its “100 Most Influential People.� Jon Favreau, the subject of these accolades, visited Champaign-Urbana last night. On Wednesday at 7 p.m., the Illini Union Board featured

Favreau as part of their lecture series at the Illini Union I-Rooms. Students packed the I-Rooms to hear fi rsthand his guidelines to effective speechwriting. Nick Vale, vice president of policy of the IUB, was chiefly responsible for planning and organizing this event. He explained the motivation behind why IUB invited a lecturer with such a unique track record as Favreau. “We try and get a well-rounded slate of lectures each semester by covering a range of interest,� Vale said. “This lecture was a little more political than

others might be, but our goal is ultimately to engage the campus intellectually.� While the lecture was largely focused on politics, Favreau’s advice could be applied to many professional aspirations. His speech centered around the importance of simplicity in speechwriting in more than just political campaigns. “Most people use 10-cent words when a nickel or penny would do,� Favreau said. “Keep it simple and keep it short.� In addition to sharing tips for speechwriting, he also shared his personal experiences with working with President Obama

on his congressional and presidential campaigns for the past eight years. Favreau reflected on the time he fi rst met the president when Obama was an Illinois senator. Obama said to him: “I still don’t think I need a speech writer, but they keep telling me I do, and you seem nice enough.� Whether it was his reaction to a joke or his emotions after a national crisis such as Hurricane Katrina, Favreau’s stories about Obama gave the audience a unique perspective into the mind of the president, as the president himself as called Favreau his “mind reader.�

Connor Brown, attendee of the lecture and junior in LAS, put it this way: “I enjoyed most the behind-the-scenes stories he told about the president. You could tell when he was speaking unscripted and was telling reallife stories he had experienced.� As of one of the greatest hallmarks, Favreau displayed his command of speechwriting through his own presentation Wednesday night. He stressed for students to always remember to structure speeches with a beginning, middle and end. As simple as it sounds, he assured the crowd that many of the savviest politicians in Washing-

ton forget that, at their core, speeches are stories. Jane Kanter, self-proclaimed “politics nerd� and freshman in LAS, explained her appreciation of Favreau’s impressive silver-tongue. “I found the lecture very enjoyable,� she said. “It was clear that he has a real voice for storytelling, and that was conveyed in his speech.� Hands were still raised as the 30-minute Q&A that followed Favreau’s lecture was called to an end.

At the end of the Feb. 7 contest between No. 1 Indiana and Illinois, senior Brandon Paul prepared to deliver an inbounds pass with 0.9 seconds remaining in a 72-72 tie game. Fellow senior Tyler Griffey ran out to the perimeter where he was sandwiched between two Hoosiers. Griffey cut to the basket, waving his hand to make sure Paul could see how open he was. Even Griffey was in disbelief after his lay-up beat the buzzer, sending a packed Assembly Hall in a frenzy. That moment was the highlight of his 2012-13 season, the fi nal one of Griffey’s career. His college career, that is. After signing a one-year deal with the Allianz Swans Gmunden, an Austrian team, Griffey has the opportunity to continue playing basketball, even if he’s thousands of miles from the U.S. “I had a lot of teams requesting my information from my agent, but together, we decided this would be a good fit for me,� Griffey said. “I was more worried about the comfort of living abroad instead of dollar signs. I wanted a chance to showcase my skills and get exposure for possible moves to the better leagues across Europe.� Griffey, who fi nished fi fth on the team with 7.2 pointsper-game last season, went undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft and wasn’t invited to an NBA summer league team or training camp. The NBA Development League, which last season included two of Griffey’s former teammates (Demetri

The options were dwindling for the once top-100 high school prospect. “I guess you could say I thought about (giving up on basketball),� Griffey said. “But I came to the conclusion that I might as well keep playing while I still can. I know I’d be kicking myself later on in life if I hadn’t taken this opportunity.� That opportunity for Griffey is in Austria, playing in a country he had never been to and a league most basketball fanatics have never heard of. Nonetheless, Griffey was intrigued by Austria, even if it’s not exactly the NBA. “I chose Austria because it’s a beautiful country to live in and the league is a good starter league for rookies like myself,� Griffey said. “I have known four or five guys who have started their professional careers here and they all had nothing but positive things (to say).� Griffey has enjoyed his downtime, as he regularly posts pictures and statuses on Facebook detailing his travels in Austria.

It is a moment every soccer player dreams about. For many, this dream begins even before middle school. For Vanessa DiBernardo, her call-up to the senior national team had been years in the making because of her stints at various levels in the national youth system. Although it was anticipated by many, including her head coach Janet Rayfield, the call itself still came unexpectedly. “I was leaving my apartment at night,� DiBernardo said. “I was just walking to go somewhere, and I had a random number call me. I, luckily, answered it. I was just doing my normal day thing.� DiBernardo was called up as a replacement because the U.S. Women’s National Team’s Megan Rapinoe picked up an injury in the time leading up to the team’s friendly match against Mexico. That friendly took place Tuesday, barely a week after DiBernardo got the call. “I knew it was going to be a quick week, one training and then a game,� DiBernardo said. “I was just going in just to enjoy the moment.� DiBernardo’s week with the senior squad was not her fi rst time representing the U.S. She had been part of the U-14 and U-16 sides dating all the way back to 2005. She most recently represented the Women’s U-20 team in 2012. While a member of the U-20, she helped the U.S. lift the CONCACAF and World Cup trophies at that level, earning 16 caps and scoring 2 goals in the process. DiBernardo’s time in the national youth contests was not the only reason her name was familiar. Fans of U.S. soccer may remember the DiBernardo name on the back of an American jersey in the 1984 Olympics. Her father, and current Waubonsie Valley High School men’s soccer coach, Angelo DiBernardo donned that jersey. The elder DiBernardo went on to earn 20 caps for his country, scoring three goals in those games. With his years of national and other

Volleyball hopes to return to 2011 form

Illinois putting on a show through 1st weekend, strong competition ahead ARYN BRAUN Illini columnist

Illinois volleyball fans look back fondly on the 2011 season. That golden year when the team clinched its fourth consecutive visit to the NCAA tournament on the way to a second-place finish after falling to UCLA 3-1 in the championship. It was a bittersweet ending, but there was an excitement around the program that promised better things to come. Then 2012 happened. A 14-16 season. Talk about change. No team ever wants to finish below .500, but coming after such success, the letdown was harder to take. Sophomores Liz McMahon and Morganne Criswell had only ever known triumph. How were they supposed to feel about being shut out of the post-season all together after failing to qualify for the NCAA tournament in December? Not good, probably. All they could do is hope to come back strong in 2013, and they have. The Illini have put on a show. Now granted, it is early in the season, almost the earliest it can be. But I’m optimistic. They started their season this past week-

end at the Long Beach State Mizuno Invitational. By sweeping No. 18 Florida State in their opening match, the Illini made a strong statement. Before this tournament Illinois was only 1-3 all time against the Seminoles. Later the same day the Illini dropped their match against host Long Beach State 3-1. A blip? Overconfidence? Working out the kinks? Maybe, but Long Beach State isn’t to be underestimated. LBSU has a storied program that includes three national titles and boasts alumni such as Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor. Losing to the 49ers is nothing to be ashamed of. On the final day of the tournament the Illini bounced back after dropping the first two sets to beat No. 17 Kentucky 3-2. Not a bad weekend. After redshirting last season, freshman Maddie Mayers made her Illinois debut in the tournament and earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors for her efforts. The road to regaining national relevance doesn’t get any easier as we get deeper into the season. Next up the Illini travel to Ames, Iowa, to compete in the Iowa State challenge where they will face two AVCA top-25 teams in San Diego and Iowa State. What about conference play? Eight of the top-25 teams hail from the Big Ten, including No. 1 Penn State. Yikes, talk about

strength of schedule. Circle that Oct. 18 home matchup with the Nittany Lions on your calendar; chances are it’s not something to miss. It’s hard not to get amped up when your team is doing well right out the gate. Remember 2012’s six-game win streak in football? Or last year’s men’s basketball team starting 14-0? It was like a dream. Everyone on campus gets all cocky and fans come out in droves to watch their team — undoubtedly — squash the opponent. Because we can’t lose, right? Tell that to my sophomore self that lay crying on the bleachers of the north end zone in Memorial Stadium during the sixgame slide that followed that too-good-tobe-true start. But volleyball isn’t football or basketball. As Kevin Hambly begins his fifth year as head coach at Illinois he can offer constancy and the benefit of experience to a young but talented team. Hopefully no tears will be shed this season. The only sounds to escape Huff Hall should be those of Spike Squad — volleyball’s student fan section — berating the opponent and announcing an Illinois victory with their rendition of the Alma Mater.

Cubs overcome grand slam, avoid Marlins sweep BY JUAN C. RODRIGUEZ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

PHIL VELASQUEZ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

The Chicago Cubs’ Donnie Murphy rounds the bases with a two-run home run in the seventh inning against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field on Wednesday. The Cubs prevailed 9-7.

CHICAGO — One well-established fact after 138 games: The Miami Marlins aren’t built to win slugfests. Wednesday marked the 24th time the Marlins have allowed seven or more runs in a game. They’re 0-24 in those contests as the Chicago Cubs came from behind for a 9-7 win and avoid a three-game sweep. The Cubs overcame an Adeiny Hechavarria grand slam, one of two Marlins’ homers, and a late three-run deficit to thwart their opponent’s bid for a season-high four-game winning streak. The Marlins have not won more than three in a row since a four-game run June 27-July 1, 2012. “When we got that big hit from Hech, I thought we were in business,” manager Mike Redmond said. Hechavarria’s sixth-inning grand slam off Jeff Samardzija eclipsed the Cubs’ 3-2 lead. Logan Morrison in the second had put his team on the board with a tworun blast that cleared the rightfield bleachers and landed on Sheffield Avenue. The Cubs doubled up the Mar-

lins in the homer column, getting solo shots from Starlin Castro and Dioner Navarro off Brian Flynn in his major league debut, a Ryan Sweeney solo homer off Arquimedes Caminero and a game-turning two-run shot from ex-Marlin Donnie Murphy. Up three, A.J. Ramos opened the seventh with a pair of walks and Navarro followed with a tworun single into the left-field corner. Murphy followed and deposited Webb’s first offering into the left-field bleachers. The Marlins had not allowed four homers in a game since Sept. 8, 2012, at Nationals Park. The Marlins’ relievers, before Sweeney’s homer off Caminero, had held the Cubs to one hit in 26 at-bats. The Cubs fi nished the series 5 for 12 with six runs scored off the bullpen. “That’s youth,” Redmond said. “We’ve seen that a few times where one night a guy comes in and he’s lights out, and the next night you bring him in the same situation and he struggles. That’s part of the process of learning at the big league level.” Though the sweep eluded the Marlins, they can take solace in rediscovering their offense. In

losing the first five games against the Nationals and Braves of this nine-game trip, they hit .179 (30 for 168) and scored nine runs. In taking two of three at Wrigley, they totaled 17 runs and hit .291 (32 for 110) with 12 extra-base hits (four homers). Hechavarria has accounted for two of the Marlins’ three grand slams. He also hit one on May 5 at Philadelphia. “Bases loaded, hitting without strikes or balls, I went to fi nd a good pitch to hit the ball hard, not to look for a (sacrifice) fly, just to hit the ball well,” said Hechavarria, who before this season had not hit a grand slam as a professional. “I was prepared for the fastball and that’s what he threw.” Flynn had an unspectacular major league debut, allowing three runs on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts over four-plus innings. Just 54.3 percent of his 81 pitches were in the zone, and two left the park. “Behind in the count, up in the zone, good hitters are going to do that to you,” Flynn said. “One of the things I pride myself on is not doing that stuff, so it was kind of a letdown for me.”

Stanton loses bat, hits child in stands Three-year-old was not injured BY JUAN C. RODRIGUEZ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — The bat left Giancarlo Stanton’s hands and he just stood frozen at the plate, hands on his head. Even Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija walked well off the mound toward the third-base line to witness the awful scene. Stanton’s bat in the sixth inning hit a 3-year-old boy seated in the Wrigley Field lower bowl between the Cubs’ dugout and home plate. The child’s father immediately rushed him up the aisle to a first aid station. “There was no one around him it seemed,” Stanton said. “It was the kid and two or three seats open

to the right and left. It was a perfect view. It’s obviously something you never want to happen. ... Thank goodness he’s all right. The way his dad carried him off, it looked like the worst.” About an inning and a half later Stanton found out the child wasn’t seriously hurt. The family ultimately returned to their seats before game’s end. “I don’t have kids, but I have nieces and nephews, and I see guys’ kids around here all the time and hang out with them,” said Stanton, who requested the family’s number and planned to reach out. “That was terrible.”

Fernandez honored again Right-hander Jose Fernandez won his second straight National League Rookie of the Month award. Fernandez in six August starts (39

innings) went 3-1 with a 1.15 ERA, 49 strikeouts and a .158 opponents’ batting average. “That speaks for what he’s been able to do,” manager Mike Redmond said. “He mentioned (jokingly) to me that he was not sure why he didn’t get pitcher of the month for the league. He told me his numbers were pretty good. That’s the kind of kid he is. He’s hungry. It’s a great honor for him to think of where he came from this spring to what he’s been able to do this year and see how confident he is, is really a pleasure.” Dodgers’ right-hander Zack Greinke won NL Pitcher of the Month honors after going 5-0 in six August starts with a 1.23 ERA, eight walks, 30 strikeouts and a .211 opponents’ batting average in 36 2/3 innings. Braves’ closer Craig Kimbrel in 2011 was the last rookie pitcher to

win the award twice in the same season (June, August). The last pitcher to win consecutive awards was Josh Johnson in May and June 2006. On a 170-inning limit, Fernandez will make his second-to-last start in Friday’s series opener against the Nationals.

Special K Left-hander Mike Dunn struck out a batter during a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday, giving him at least one strikeout in a careerbest 11 straight appearances for the second time in as many seasons. Dunn from April 24-June 25, 2012 also struck out one or more in 11 outings in a row. Matt Mantei owns the franchise record for consecutive relief appearances with at least one strikeout. He did it in 16

birthplace in Salzburg, cliff jumping into Wolfgangsee Lake or just walking the streets of Austria, Griffey is enjoying his time in Europe. “I’ve just tried to take it all in,” Griffey said. “The city, the team, the culture, it’s been an adjustment, that’s for sure, but a positive one.” Part of the adjustment for Griffey has included being away from some of his favorite American staples — Starbucks, Subway, Jimmy John’s and Potbelly’s. Of course, he misses his family, too. “Oh, I can’t even begin to describe how much I miss the things at home,” Griffey said. “I defi nitely miss my family and my girlfriend, but hopefully they all will get a chance to come visit at some point during the year.” A former Illini, Trent Meacham, has helped Griffey with his transition to playing professionally in Europe. Meacham, who is fi fth in Illinois history in 3-point percentage (.408) and 10th in makes (178), has thrived while playing for various teams in Europe the past three seasons. Last year was not only Meacham’s best professional season individually, having averaged 12.8 PPG while shooting 44.7 percent from behind the arc, but also as a team. His club, JSF Nanterre, won the French league title, meaning the team will play in the Euroleague for the fi rst time in its history next season. The Euroleague consists of the top teams in Europe including powerhouses such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Panathinaikos. Meacham quickly re-signed with Nanterre, giving him the opportunity to play next season in what many consider the greatest basketball league in the world outside the NBA. Griffey can relate to Meacham, who began his journey playing for WBC Kraftwerk Wels in Austria.

“I’ve just tried to take it all in. The city, the team, the culture, it’s been an adjustment, that’s for sure, but a positive one.” TYLER GRIFFEY FORMER ILLINI

“I’ve talked to Trent Meacham a lot about his life overseas,” Griffey said. “He is doing very well playing in Pro A France, actually winning the cup this past year. He’s been a great resource for making the adjustment easier.” At 6-foot-9 with range extending past the 3-point line, Griffey has a game that fits the European style of basketball. Many of the top shooting big men in the NBA, such as Dirk Nowitzki, Andrea Bargnani and Danilo Gallinari, played professionally in Europe before coming to America. With 70 career 3-pointers at a 33.2 percent clip, Griffey wasn’t exactly a sharpshooter during his time at Illinois, but he was regarded as having one of the smoothest strokes on the team. Maybe Griffey won’t become the next Dirk, but he’s enjoying the experience while it lasts. “Honestly, I don’t really have any goals for the long term, I’m taking this one day at a time,” Griffey said. “I wake up every morning just trying to make the most of each day.” Griffey’s fi rst preseason game with Gmunden is Friday. A month later the regular season begins, with about one or two games each week until mid-April. Even Griffey doesn’t know what to expect, but he’s ready for the challenge. “I went in with no expectations. I still don’t really know if I have any (expectations) because I’m so unfamiliar with the country, league and rules,” Griffey said. “It’s all new to me and defi nitely a different kind of basketball than the Big Ten. It’ll be a fun experience, though, I can already see that.”

DiBernardo’s services were not needed as the USWNT secured a 7-0 win. Sydney Leroux found the back of the net four times in the first half, and Abby Wambach scored her 161st goal for the country, with Rachel Buehler and Morgan Brian each adding one more. Brian was playing in just her second game at the senior level. As teammates at the U-20 level, this presented a special moment for DiBernardo as well.

“I was just really happy for her,” DiBernardo said. “You could just see how excited she was on the field and I was really happy I could share that moment with her because I’ve shared a lot of special moments with her through the U-20 stuff. If I ever got that experience, I would hope that she was there with me too.”

Hawks’ Cup victory may boost crowd enthusiasm Illini have hopes for increased attention, higher attendance BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

When Dave Bolland gave the Chicago Blackhawks the lead in Game Six of the Stanley Cup Finals, things drastically changed for the Illinois hockey community. It wasn’t that Lord Stanley’s Cup was coming home to Chicago for the second time in only four seasons or that the script for one of the most magical seasons in NHL history was given a perfect ending. What was most important was people across Illinois were excited about hockey again. A Stanley Cup victory for Chicago is a victory for Illinois hockey, according to head coach Nick Fabbrini, and the Illini hockey program is anticipating a spike in attendance as the state-wide excitement carries over into the next season. “I think we’ll see a lot of the hockey community and even the casual fans this year,” Fabbrini said. “There’s defi nitely a lot of reasons to be excited.” And there are. The Illini hockey team is heading into the season with two goals in mind: winning the CSCHL Conference Championship and bringing home the ACHA National Title. This season, Illinois will host some of the best teams in the ACHA, including every team from the CSCHL conference and in-state rivals such as DePaul, Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. But Illini players are most excited for the home series against defending ACHA national champion Minot State on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. 2013(SEP5)(DI)4COLX11

Bears putting emphasis on building from within, team trying to retain players BY BRAD BIGGS CHICAGO TRIBUNE

When fi nal cuts were completed over the weekend, the Packers had 51 players on their 53-man roster who never had played a regular-season down for another team. That number dropped to 50 when backup quarterback B.J. Coleman was swapped out for Seneca Wallace, but it’s still a remarkable total. Bears general manager Phil Emery touched on the subject Monday when discussing an area he thinks the organization needs to improve — retaining its own players. It’s a two-sided operation between scouting and the development of talent, and Emery has shown he’s not afraid to cut ties with draft picks who aren’t meeting expectations — only three of his six-man draft class from 2012 remain. So he’s not holding spots for players who are not worthy. Emery said he crunched the numbers and the Bears have 29 players on the roster who started their careers with the Bears. He had the Packers at 43, the Vikings

at 39 and Lions at 27. Developing young talent helps foremost in managing the salary cap because if young players are performing well they are doing so on cheaper contracts. It also allows the players to grow together, developing chemistry. All six 2013 draft picks made the roster, and the Bears also kept three undrafted free agents and claimed the Raiders’ seventh-round pick, defensive end David Bass, on waivers. “We need to have more years like we had this year in terms of having a high number of picks and college free agents on the roster,” Emery said. “We need to have that consistently. I need to do a better job of fi nding ways to gain more picks on draft day and we need to do a better job as a college staff in our recruitment and retention of high-quality college free agents. That’s how you produce rosters at these types of numbers — where the Packers are, where the Vikings are. How have they gone about it? They’ve had consistency in the front office. They’ve had consis-

tency of coaching. They’ve had consistency of a philosophy.”

Trader Phil Emery’s challenge to himself to obtain more draft picks became potentially more difficult when he traded for tight end Dante Rosario on Monday. The Bears sent the Cowboys a conditional draft pick in 2014. Tight end Kyle Adams, who appeared in 23 games the last two seasons, was waived to make room. Rosario, 28, is a seven-year veteran and was expendable as the fifth tight end in Dallas. He spent last season with the Chargers, for whom he caught 10 passes for 95 yards and three touchdowns. The 6-3, 242-pounder will give the Bears an option with some pass-catching ability behind starter Martellus Bennett with Steve Maneri more of a blocker. Fendi Onobun, who had an inconsistent preseason, is on the practice squad.

Man in the middle

D.J. Williams made his return to practice Monday for the first time since suffering a right calf injury July 31. While the team hasn’t made an announcement on who the starting middle linebacker will be, the likely choice will be rookie second-round draft pick Jon Bostic. It will be difficult for Williams to get back up to speed that quickly and it might take him a couple of weeks to be game ready after missing 32 days. Bostic played well in exhibitions, but before Williams was injured the feeling was he was poised to make a big contribution to the defense. One club official described Williams as a “hungry veteran.” When he’s healthy, he could make it a tough decision for the coaching staff. “The player that is making the plays,” Emery said. “Whoever is playing better, whatever the given opportunity is, they’ll have earned their way to be the starter. If that’s Bostic, great. If that’s Williams, great. We have no preferences in this building.”

From JV to NFL, one Bear’s story of perseverance BY BRAD BIGGS CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — Taylor Boggs drew a chuckle from his father, Dave, when he told him he wanted to be an NFL player. His mother, Terry, had a maternal reply you might expect. “She said I could do whatever I wanted,” Boggs said. A long, circuitous path has brought Boggs to that level as he opens the season as the Bears’ backup center, the understudy to 34-year-old Roberto Garza, who is in the final year of his contract. Odds have been stacked against Boggs for a long time. He was on the junior varsity team as a junior at Upland High School in Southern California and was a 195-pound outside linebacker and pulling guard as a senior. “I told the coaches I wanted to keep playing and the head coach (Tim Salter) was like, ‘Maybe you could go to junior college and save your parents some money and go play Division III,’” Boggs said. “When I left that meeting, he kind

of said, ‘You’re not going to play college football.’” Undeterred, Boggs started with an academic scholarship at the University of Pikeville, an NAIA school in Kentucky, where he was a 205-pound tight end. The school didn’t have an expansive weight training facility and he quickly figured that would be an obstacle. He left after one year for Humboldt State, the only Division II school in California with a football program. He redshirted in 2007 and spent long hours in the weight room and adhered to a strict diet to help him fill out his 6-2 frame to about 290 pounds as he settled in as a center. Before his senior season he emailed LeCharles Bentley, the two-time Pro Bowl player whose career was ended prematurely by knee injuries, and asked for help at Bentley’s training facility in Ohio. “I will be honest with you, I didn’t want this kid to spend his money to fly out from California and then he sucks,” Bentley

said. “I said send me some film and let me kind of take a look and see what you are working with before we make that kind of commitment. I was thoroughly impressed. I said there is something to this kid as a football player. He came out, we put some tools in the toolbox and he goes back and he played well that senior year.” After college, NFL scouts bluntly asked how he added 100 pounds since high school without performance-enhancing drugs. Boggs explained it was hard work, lots of it. He wasn’t drafted, but the Jets signed him as a free agent in 2011. His opportunity ended when he suffered a torn ACL in the first week of training camp. From there, he reunited with Bentley to rehabilitate. Boggs went to rookie minicamp with the Bills in May 2012. That didn’t pan out and he was back with Bentley again, moving to Phoenix to continue training. Boggs then had a brief stint in the short-lived UFL as a back-

up center for the Sacramento Mountain Lions. In all, he spent 56 consecutive weeks training with Bentley, every day but Sunday, until Bentley called Dwayne Joseph, the Bears’ associate director of pro personnel and urged him to look at Boggs. The Bears brought Boggs in for a workout on April 9 and signed him to a oneyear deal with no guarantee. He proved to be a quick study, making it through to training camp, where he settled in with the second team. After the first exhibition game, Boggs took nearly all the snaps in games when Garza wasn’t on the field. Now he projects as a developmental player the Bears like. Boggs says he is 295 pounds but admits that might be with some dripping wet equipment, and he’d like to add some bulk. But he has good flexibility in his hips and knees that allows him to play with leverage. He has good feet and hands and anchors well. He’s playing for an offensive coordinator in Aaron Kromer who has a

track record for developing players who have come from off the beaten path. “Without a doubt, Taylor Boggs will be a starting center in the National Football League,” Bentley said. “That is a promise I made to him a very long time ago. At times it wasn’t looking too good. But this is a kid that stuck it out. “I’m just so happy to have a guy that I believed in that the Bears gave an opportunity. All a guy can ask for is an opportunity, and he earned it. This kid has looked and turned over every stone to try to earn every opportunity. He has never looked for a handout.” Boggs is in Garza’s ear constantly trying to pick up pointers. Garza is from a Division II program, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and he’s been through a serious knee injury. He does not have an ACL in his right knee. “It was good to see him make the team after the long road he has had,” Garza said. “He’s always asking questions and trying to learn.”

Now it’s up to Boggs to continue pushing. He says he is “cool” with Salter years after he doubted him. His wife, Megan, who had to give him plenty of pep talks over the last couple years while he kept training, arrives Thursday from Phoenix. He texted her fi rst when he found out he made the roster and then Bentley, who hasn’t been paid a dime for Boggs’ training. “He believed in me and this is how I repaid him,” Boggs said. “By giving everything I had at this. LeCharles is like family, a big brother.” It’s quite a story to imagine how Boggs stuck with it, from playing on the JV level as a junior at Upland, to now, four days from the season opener at Soldier Field. “I have been just obsessed,” he said. “It’s easy. I just love football. I love everything about it. I’ve always carried a chip on my shoulder, to prove to myself and prove other people wrong.”
