‘Bike booting’ to take effect in spring with revised code BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER
Bicycles left chained up to lamp posts, stairs and other improper areas could wind up booted with a lock if a revised University bicycle code is approved. Students have the opportunity to give feedback on the code on the iCAP portal website until the end of September. “Bike booting” is the same as when a boot gets put on a car for parking in the wrong place. However, in this case, a University boot will be placed on repeat bike parking offenders, and students will have to pay a fee to get it unlocked. Morgan Johnston, sustainability coordinator for Facilities and Services, recalled stopping a student to ask why he was parking his bicycle on a chain fence instead of in the bike racks. His reply was that it saved him six seconds, she said. “This parking in the wrong place reminds me of speeding in your car,” Johnston said. “You’re at risk, and you’re going to be delayed more by getting an enforcement officer to stop you.” The bike code has not been updated
since 1989, and the new bike code will go into effect after spring break this year. University police Deputy Chief Skip Frost said the increase of bike traffic due to sustainability initiatives and the “bicycle-friendly” designation on campus has led to injuries and conflict with pedestrians. He said he was made aware of a woman getting hit by a bicycle and breaking her arm, as well as other injuries. “We recognized that we had an issue,” Frost said. “The first step we wanted to get involved in was updating the University bicycle ordinances, and then also to start increasing our education and enforcement campaigns as well.” Frost said people riding bicycles needed to realize they had to obey the laws just like a vehicle — meaning stopping at stop signs, signaling when turning and not going the wrong way down a one-way street. The cities of Champaign and Urbana have rules separate from the University, but Amelia Neptune, Campus Bicycle Coordinator, said the University’s plan was for specific campus-related issues

like bicycle registration and parking in non-street areas. “Really, what we’re trying to do is make it a safer environment for the benefit of all modes of transportation,” Neptune said. According to the current code, bicycles will be impounded if they aren’t registered. But Neptune said because it’s an unrealistic policy, it isn’t strictly implemented and will not be a part of the revised code. She said the new way of enforcement for bike registration will result in an additional fine if the bike is being ticketed for something else. “One of the first things we hear when we do bicycle enforcement is ‘don’t you have anything better to do?’” Frost said. “Yes, we absolutely have better things to do, which is why we want people to voluntarily comply. It’s a public safety issue, and obviously we take this very seriously, and we will do what’s necessary to keep everybody safe.”

Bike theft on the rise in Champaign-Urbana BY AMIRAH ZAVERI STAFF WRITER
When Alex Ding was a freshman, he left his bike lock unscrambled while he was in a hurry to get to class. Once he got out of class, the junior in Engineering realized his bike had been stolen. It was never recovered. Bike theft has been an increasing problem on campus in recent years. In 2010, a total of 320 bikes were reported stolen to the University of Illinois Police Department, the Champaign Police Department and the Urbana Police Department.
In 2011, the number of stolen bikes rose to 340. Last year, it increased to 459. So far in 2013, Urbana and University police have reported 192 bikes have been stolen. The Champaign police has not yet compiled the number of reported bike thefts in 2013. “There’s really no pattern that we’ve found year by year, but when the weather is nice, it’s warm outside, there are going to be more bike thefts,” University Police Deputy Chief Skip Frost said. Ding said he believes bike theft
is only a big problem when students forget to lock up their bikes, as he did. But Jennifer Li, sophomore in Business, said even when students do remember to lock their bikes, she has noticed that they can still be stolen. “I think that people cutting locks and stealing bikes is a huge problem on campus,” Li said. “Many students cannot afford a new bike, and I feel that too often I hear of another bike getting stolen.”

Jakobsson rules out re-election for seventh term
Working toward common good — one meal at a time
BY ELEANOR BLACK STAFF WRITER
State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, announced that she would not be seeking reelection for a seventh term in office. “It has been an honor to serve this community but it is also time for someone else to prepare for the next term beginning in 2015,” Jakobsson said in an email sent to supporters, adding that this “was not an easy decision.” “There is still much to be done in the next year while finishing the term I am in and will continue to represent you until January 2015,” Jakobsson said. Michael Richards, a Champaign County Board member who served as Jakobsson’s political director on her previous campaigns, said she asked him to run for the seat she will be vacating. “The quality of leadership from Champaign-Urbana is important in Springfield

because we depend on our legislators to make sure the general assembly knows how important the work the University of Illinois and projects in Champaign-Urbana are,” Richards said, referring to areas of economic and high-tech development in the state of Illinois. Richards noted the work Jakobsson has done for the community, such as supporting Health Alliance and securing the funding for the Lincoln Hall renovation at the University. He also mentioned her position as vice chairperson for the House Committee on Higher Education and her recent appointment as Illinois delegate to the Education Commission of the States. “Champaign is going to have big shoes to fill,” Richards said. “She’s going to be missed.”

Board of Trustees to vote on 2014 budget at meeting BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
The University Board of Trustees will meet Thursday in the Illini Union to approve the operating budget for the year, approve administrative appointments and conduct other business for the University. The board will vote on the
operating budget for fiscal year 2014. The budget totals $4.45 million, a 1.2 percent increase from the budget for fiscal year 13. The increase is 2.5 percent lower than last year’s increase of 3.7 percent. In addition to voting on the budget, the board will listen to a report from the Audit,

NCSA begins research on cyber attack defenses BY JACQUI OGRODNIK STAFF WRITER
The University’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications has begun research on fortifying critical infrastructures against potential cyber attacks. This research is funded by a federal $1.6 million grant that began Sept. 1. This three-year grant from the National Science Foundation is a collaborative proposal to be shared between the NCSA and the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) at the University of California, Berkeley. The principal investigators for the project are Ravi Iyer, professor of electrical and computer engineering, Adam Slagell, chief information security officer of NCSA and Robin Sommer, senior researcher of ICSI. Slagell said the NCSA received $900,000 of the grant to focus on power grid and smart grid systems, which entails work on the NCSA systems’ hardware as well as SCADA devices, a type of supervisory industrial control system, connected to the electrical grid. Berkeley received about $700,000 of the grant to work with partners on water, gas and building automation systems. In its second year, the grant will fund one software developer who will work on network intrusion detection systems and two graduate students. It will also go towards a month of private investigators, professors and other senior staffs’ time as they write proposals and manage the project, Slagell said in an email. Randal Butler, senior associate director at NCSA, said the research project will focus on critical infrastructure, such as water treatment facilities, power grids and transportation controls.
“It’s designed to look at how we might apply things like intrusion detection systems, which are ways to monitor network hosts and information feeds ... to protect against a very specific kind of attack on critical infrastructure,” Butler said. Iyer said the feature work of the project is focusing on how to protect industrial control systems from malicious attacks, whether it’s an individual attack that behaves like an insider, or a potential terrorist attack trying to destroy the system. “We are very good at protecting against attacks that we know of,” he said. “We are very poor at protecting against attacks that we don’t know about.” The project’s goal is to determine what kinds of cyber attacks are possible and how new systems can be protected against these attacks, especially when the attack in question is one that has yet to be faced, Iyer said. “We want to get away from the notion that is typical in intrusion detection systems that require you to know about the attack ahead of time,” Slagell said. “The problem is that attacks against critical infrastructure are almost always new and novel. By the time you know about it, it’s often too late.” Slagell said a signature-based approach, in which systems determine an attack by the signatures of past attacks, is not useful, so he and his team are trying to build a semantic model while looking at the power commands rather than the signatures and traffic. During the project’s first year, researchers will be developing protocol analyzers for various SCADA protocols, continuing preliminary research and establishing partnerships to
share information with company partners. During the project’s second year, the researchers will aim to start deploying early prototypes with some partners while continuing their research. The goal of the third year will be to have a production-ready system available and used by many utility companies. Butler said the NCSA has received a handful of different types of attacks in the past. These attacks include “ankle-biters,” which are attacks from people testing the system’s vulnerability. Other hackers choose to attack merely to hone their skills or practice before moving on to a more secure target, still others want to gain control of the systems to use them to launch other attacks, and there are also hackers who launch the attack simply to prove a point. “These are all lower level types of attacks,” Butler said. “They’re there for different reasons. They’re not typically there to bring our systems down — they’re there to cause problems for other people.” Butler said the biggest threat the NCSA faces involves compromised accounts, in which a hacker obtains an NCSA system user’s login information and enters the system completely undetected. “A huge part of our infrastructure is based on the detection part because we have to be an open environment,” Butler said. “We can’t just close off everything, so we really rely on being able to detect the attack. We can’t always deflect the bad guys. We have to detect if they’re going to do something before they do it.”

Five-year-old girl murdered BY JACKSON ADAMS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
EFFINGHAM, Ill. — Justin DeRyke, Willow Long’s uncle and the man accused of killing her, was given a $5 million dollar bond at his probable cause hearing Wednesday. In a packed courtroom, Effingham County State’s Attorney Brian Kibler said interviews with DeRyke Sunday and Monday led to his arrest. One of the primary leads in proving probable cause was DeRyke going to his job at a restaurant in Effingham instead of aiding in the search Sunday. Kibler

TRUSTEES “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 at the committee meeting. “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.” C om m it tee ch a i r Ed McMillan said the University will benefit from addressing these issues now.
said in further interviews with the Illinois State Police, DeRyke had told investigators he was watching Willow Long and her brother on Saturday night at the family home at 104 Circle Drive, Watson, while their mother was at a bar. At about 10:30 p.m., DeRyke left his bedroom where he had been playing video games all night and had entered the bathroom to masturbate. After leaving the bathroom, Willow Long grabbed his arm to bring him downstairs but scratched him. DeRyke said he was angry and chased Long out of the house, where she fell into a brush pile
and a stick impaled her through the neck. DeRyke then told investigators he “believed he had to put her out of her misery” and slashed her throat. DeRyke said he would be seeking to hire an attorney. Judge Sherri L.T. Tungate ruled that probable cause had been determined and set a $5 million bond. Kibler also asked for the stipulation that DeRyke not be allowed to return to the family’s home in Watson or to have contact with Ciara DeRyke, her son or any people under the age of 18. DeRyke will have a preliminary hearing on Sept. 19.
“Getting a head start on this kind of issue now will save us a great deal of time and anguish in years to come,” he said. All four board committees wi ll give presentations Thursday. The Governance, P ers on nel a nd E t h ic s Committee recommended the board appoints Peter Constable, a Purdue University professor of veterinary clinical science, as the next dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Alfred Walter Tatum as interim dean for the College of Education in Chicago. The Board of Trustees will also vote on the appointments of 121 new faculty members across the three campuses, including 62 at the Urbana campus. Additionally, the board will
vote on whether to enter into a relationship with PNC as the new bank for the University and whether to ask the state for an additional $78.7 million in revenue in fiscal year 15 for special projects. Not all of the meeting will be voting items. The board will also receive reports from Chairman Christopher Kennedy, President Robert Easter and Comptroller Walter Knorr. The board will also listen to public comments, a faculty report and comments from unionized employees. The Board of Trustees will meet in the Illini Union in the B and C Illini Rooms starting around 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

BIKE THEFTS Frost said he believes that with simple preventative measures, students can sharply decrease the chance that their bike is stolen. “Instead of a cable lock, which are quite easy to cut, invest in a quality Kryptonite U-lock,” Frost said. “Make sure you park your bike in a well-lit and trav-
eled area. Utilize the bike racks because they are designed to keep your bikes safe.” Barry Isralewitz, a co-founder and volunteer at The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, said students too often forget to lock up seats and remove accessories from their bikes, and that makes it more prone to theft. “Buy a bike seat lock; they’re inexpensive and loop easily through the seat,” Isralewitz said. “If you have a fl ashing

light, a basket or any type of accessory that will make your bike stand out, remove it when locking your bike up.” Additionally, Frost said students should report any suspicious behavior. “If you see someone looking suspicious, eyeing bike racks or yielding a lock cutter, call 911 right away,” he said.

Tech incubator assists Latinos BY PETER DELEVETT MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Edward Avila was a Silicon Valley tech veteran when he launched his first startup a few years ago. As he made the rounds at networking events, though, he noticed something jarring. “Out of hundreds of entrepreneurs,” he said, “I felt like I was the only Latino in the room.” He’s not far off: Numbers from venture capital clearinghouse CB Insights indicate less than 1 percent of venture-backed startups have a Latino co-founder. It’s an especially sobering statistic in a valley where census figures show one-quarter of the population is Hispanic. Avila’s job-placement startup never got off the ground, but the experience inspired him to found another venture that’s now set to debut: a tech incubator to help Latinos break into startups. The effort already has drawn backers ranging from Google to pop powerhouse Jennifer Lopez. “Everybody said, ‘You’re nuts,’ but what I do well is bring in the right resources,” said Avila, 44, who spent two decades in human resources for tech giants like Intersil and Philips Semiconductors. “Class” began this week for the first seven startups participating in San Jose-based Manos Accelerator, which takes its name from the Spanish word for hands. Avila and his co-founders say the name reflects the Latino work ethic. Yet while Latino tech leaders praised the move, they cautioned it will face tough sledding. “I think it’s going to take another generation, maybe two, to get out of the mode of an immigrant culture,” said Hector Ruiz, the former chief executive of chip giant AMD. Ruiz, who now runs a New York nanotechnology startup, said Latino parents tend to urge their children to land steady jobs rather than risk starting their own businesses. Ruiz also pointed to the low
numbers of Latinos who study science or business in college, or even fi nish high school. Despite a decade of considerable gains, just 50 percent of Latino students in California public schools rate “proficient” or above in math, state figures show. That compares with 71 percent of whites and 85 percent of Asians. “Look, I grew up in a town where the dropout rate for Hispanics was, like, 90 percent,” said Texas-born Richard Leza, a longtime Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist. A dozen years ago, Leza helped launch Hispanic Network, modeled on the hugely influential networking group TiE. The latter, which started out as a way for South Asian entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley to meet, has grown into a global organization. But Hi-Net has struggled for altitude, Leza admitted. “You really need a lot of assistance and connections to the venture capitalists,” he said. “The problem is, Hispanics are not in big venture firms or large corporations like Google and Yahoo.” Avila is well aware that others have gone before him with limited success. One of the cofounders of Manos, Sylvia Flores, worked a decade ago with Mexico’s then-president, Vicente Fox, to found TechBA, which helps Mexican tech companies do business in Silicon Valley. Flores, a former IBM engineer, brought in the third member of the founding team, David Lopez - a longtime computer technician whose daughter happens to be J-Lo. Flores built the website for a restaurant David and Jennifer Lopez once owned in Pasadena, Calif.; Avila said the 12-week Manos program will include a trip to Los Angeles for the entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to Latino celebrities including Mario Lopez and Eva Longoria. Downtown San Jose’s Irish Innovation Center is providing
Manos with reduced-rate office space, and Google’s global entrepreneurship outreach program is kicking in advice, software tools and a small amount of operating cash. Unlike startups chosen for more established incubators like Y Combinator, Avila’s fledglings won’t receive funding, though he hopes to raise an investment pool for future participants. And, since most of the founders in the first batch hail from outside the San Francisco Bay Area, Avila has hooked them up with housing. At his mom’s place. In exchange for a 4 percent piece of their companies, entrepreneurs in the program will gain access to mentors from Stanford, Apple and WalmartLabs, among others. The program will culminate in a November “demo day” at Google, where the entrepreneurs will strut their stuff for venture capitalists and angel investors. Francisco Nieto, an Oakland, Calif., schoolteacher who’s one of the founders of a participating startup called Sleek-geek, said he’s eager for introductions to the program’s mentors and prospective funders. “We liked their mission and focus,” he said of Manos. Nieto, whose year-old startup makes apps to help kids improve their reading skills, teaches technology to middle school students in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood. “I constantly remind my students, who are primarily Latino, that they are living in the most technologically innovative region on Earth,” he said, “and that they should take advantage of the opportunities so that our communities are not left behind.” Avila said Manos received 75 submissions after the program was announced in July. About a third came from Latin America. “Everybody’s talking about fi nding that next Mark Zuckerberg or that next Larry Page,” Avila said. “I’m hoping the next person they’ll be talking about will be an Eric Florez. Why not?”

ISS’ rationale for more emergency phones not sufficient or justified
As
long as adequate research has been conducted to support your initiative, throwing money around isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, we have to draw a line when Illinois Student Senate proposes using its student fee allowance without much, if any, effort to justify such action. Such is the case with ISS’ proposal to spend students’ money to expand and update the campus security phone network. As reported in The Daily Illini last week, ISS is concerned with the safety of students and the observably obsolete nature of the emergency phone system. We agree with ISS that there may be issues with the phone system, but they need to offer more than blunt assessments to make their case. When is the last time you even used an emergency phone? In this case, before spending students’ money, first the ISS needs to show us why it cannot lobby a relevant department, such as the Division of Public Safety, for such dire repairs. Then, they need to sell us on fixing these phones. The campus emergency phone network consists of phones in all campus buildings, parking structures and many bus shelters. There are also a significant amount located in outdoor locations around campus. The intent is that someone in an emergency situation could use one of the phones to seek help. The effectiveness of these phones is anyone’s guess. Arguably, many have been preempted by the fact that most people on campus have cell phones. Furthermore, we are not aware of any programs by the University familiarizing students with the phones’ locations, uses or purposes. Now, we concede that ISS’ concerns may be completely valid, but if so, they need to convey why this matter falls in their purview. Campus safety is generally a matter handled by the Division of Public Safety and efforts by the several police departments that cover portions of campus. Is the University Police Department’s security camera plan not sufficient? If ISS is so concerned with the condition of phones, why not throw its weight behind an effort to lobby the Division of Public Safety to fix the phones? Even if ISS was to reach a point at which it alone would be responsible for any action taken, the senate needs to justify its actions. We are particularly troubled by the causal assertion made by ISS about the use of emergency phones in relation to the dip in crime on campus from 2009-11. First, the phones’ existence coinciding with a dip in crime does not mean they are related. Using the same logic, the mere existence of squirrels on campus coinciding with the dip in temperatures on campus this summer clearly means the squirrels caused the cooldown. Second, if ISS wants to demonstrate why we need these phones, it needs to provide statistics on the phones’ uses and what, if any, effect they actually have on crime. Just the aesthetic of emergency phones on campus may make people feel better, but they are pretty mediocre security blankets and an overall waste of money if they do no more than provide peace of mind. For all we know, the reduction in crime could just be due to better coordination among the three police departments on and around campus. It could be a reflection of the nationwide drop in crime over the past decades, the true source of which is anyone’s guess. Ultimately, we just don’t know. As such, if ISS wants to spend our money on new and improved phones, we need to know why it will enhance our safety and rationalize the cost before it considers taking action.
Blurring the line between business and exploitation
D
id you know that if you have breasts and are willing to show them, you’re in for a free pizza at Drew’s Pizza? Did you hear about the jar on the front counter of Drew’s Pizza on Green Street that reads, “I could use a tip or a nip slip?� Did you hear that Drew’s Pizza tries to create exploitative situations for intoxicated college-aged women without expecting any repercussions? Are you familiar with the Drew’s Pizza late-night special for “ladies only�? Did you see when Drew’s Pizza hashtagged #showusyourtits on its public Twitter account? Yeah. Well, that happened. All of it. Are you going to blame women for voluntarily choosing to expose themselves? Or are you going to blame the business that explicitly advertised a gross exploitative business model? Ladies, you can make your own decisions. But let them be made voluntarily and consciously, and not in a situation that seeks to undermine your consent. Especially when the situation is in the heart of Campustown, open until midnight and operates without principle.
Technology has narrowed our horizons ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist
R
andom roommates, random ingredients in dining hall meat, random guessing on hour exams — the word random kind of has a negative connotation. We often don’t appreciate how much randomness can benefit us in our daily lives, especially when it leads to spontaneity. Take, for instance, channel surfing. The practice enables us to come across programming that we may have otherwise been oblivious to, exposing us to new ideas and forms of entertainment. Unfortunately, technology has been advancing in ways that seek to eliminate this randomness. Instead of channel surfing, many people watch all of their television via Netflix, which allows them to watch entire seasons of shows at their leisure without commercial interruption. While this is certainly a convenience for watching shows that they already know they like, it detracts from the random
nature of channel surfing, and thus makes it less likely for these people to branch out and discover new shows. And television is just the start. Bookstores are sinking into obsoleteness, with people electing to read books electronically. This is unfortunate because it removes another tremendous source of randomness from our lives (and also because now hipsters have fewer coffee shops to hang at). I get excited every time I stumble across a Barnes & Noble because it enables me to meander through the shelves and pick up whatever catches my eye. It’s a great feeling to come out of the store with something that you had no plan to get on the way in. No browsing feature on a tablet or reading device can match that experience. Radio is another example. With satellite radio you can elect to listen to the specific genre or radio personality of your choice, eliminating the possibility of discovering something new. Granted, even channels on regular radio tend to fall within specific categories, but those categories are often more broad.
Even news is taking this route, with online sites that allow you to filter through to only the news and perspectives that you prefer. This is particularly troubling when it comes to politics, as people will tend to side with conservative or liberal news, thus further widening the ideological split that divides our country, and removing the demand for rational voices that try to better understand each side’s position. GPS navigation eliminates the randomness that you experience from getting lost and having to find your way in an unfamiliar neighborhood. It’s amazing how long you can live in a place and not even know everything that is around you. I experienced this living in a new city last summer. Some of the most interesting experiences I had were when I forgot to turn my GPS on and ended up driving somewhere that was more interesting than my original destination. More generally, as randomness is eliminated from our lives it causes us to be less spontaneous, which reduces our exposure to new ideas and experiences. This leads to more ignorance and isolation than it does
open-mindedness and collaboration. While it’s true that a conservative may prefer conservative news anchors, true conservatives would be able to consider information from all news sources and still maintain their convictions. The same goes for anyone who claims to be a fan of any one music or book genre, television program, cuisine, smart phone brand, etc. The reality is that we as humans are much more complex than the convenient labels that businesses like to assign to us. Letting yourself be spontaneous, whether it’s ordering a new dish from that restaurant you always eat at, or taking a different way home from work or school, expands your mind and allows you to better answer the ultimate question of how you define yourself and what really makes you happy. Taking these routes, though it often goes against our psychological nature, is the key to unlocking greater happiness and fulfillment in a life that often tries very hard to be mundane.

Believe it or not, life does exist outside of Greek life NICKI HALENZA Opinions columnist
“W
hich house are you in?� “I’m not in one.� With a grimace and puzzled look, the response is always, “Why?� If I had a dollar for the amount of times I was questioned for not being in a sorority, I would be going to the University for free. Being a non-Greek member in the nation’s largest Greek campus has left me feeling a little out of the loop. And not because I personally feel that I am missing out, but because other people respond to me in a way that makes it sound like I am missing out. Yet only about a quarter of undergraduates make up Greek life at the University, according to the University Admissions page. So then why are non-Greeks made to feel like the outcasts, when, in fact, they are the majority? The madness all begins during the first few weeks of school. Campus is flooded with freshmen girls struggling to
power-walk in heels, looking like newborn colts walking on their legs for the first time. They’re dressed to the nines with their hair perfectly straightened and flawless makeup as they yearn to impress houses of other girls. Meanwhile I’m strolling along in a T-shirt and shorts, rocking that fresh-out-of-bed look, already feeling the divide. Because I am embarking on my third year at the University, it means I am finally deemed an upperclassman. Yet I still find that when meeting new students or talking to other members of Greek life, I have to justify why I did not rush freshmen year or why I had no desire to be part of a sorority. It’s as if people find it unbelievable that I consciously decided not to have any part in it. I did not rush, I did not join a house and then later drop — I just plain and simple did not want to join. And that decision should be OK. Simply answering “no� to whether I have involvement in Greek life should be a sufficient answer. It should not lead to a game of 20 questions where people need to get down to the nitty-gritty to finally
understand why I am not a member of a house. I am often made to feel like I need to be pitied for not having the experience of being in a sorority. Some people go as far as to say, “Wow, yeah, that’s really strong of you.� Based on the way some people react to me not being a part of the Greek system, I am starting to think that they assume I live in a hole in the ground. But let me clear the air by saying that yes, I still go out and do things and know how to have fun on campus. Many people have said that joining a sorority has given them exposure to exclusive opportunities and has brought them a sense of family and sisterhood. However, I argue to say that this is not unique to being part of Greek life. I have made my own friends that I have found at various points in my time here, and they make up my campus family. I was not thrust into a house with a large group of other girls that I was forced to get to know. And by walking through many different doors, I have also had amazing experiences that have allowed me to become a stronger person. But even through my independence,
I can’t seem to escape the apparently inevitable interaction I am forced to have with the Greek system. Despite me or anyone else trying to disassociate with Greek life, the irony is that we are still given a label. Many houses have stereotypes and reputations, and even though some of us have opted out and chosen not to identify with these groups, we are given an identity as a GDI (God Damn Independent), which comes with its own stereotypes. It just goes to show how people seem to have this inherent need to cluster people together. The point of this all is not to say that I do not approve of Greek life or that it has nothing to offer. The point is that we are part of such a large campus full of amazing resources, and we are all experiencing our time here a little bit differently. And ultimately we should not be letting those differences segregate us because we all have our own reasons as to why we have made the decisions that we made.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Venue 51, a new sports bar located on 51 E. Green St, hosts events from sports viewings to weddings. It had its grand opening on Aug. 29.
Sports bar and club vibe intersect at Venue 51 BY CHRISTEN MCGLYNN STAFF WRITER
The city of Champaign is no stranger to a thriving bar scene. And this semester, the diverse Campustown establishments can welcome the newest addition to hit Green Street: Venue 51. Located on 51 E. Green St., Venue 51 is the newest sports bar that hosts any event from weddings to Greek exchanges. Its grand opening took place on Aug. 29. Steffanie Millage, event coordinator for Events at Refinery, oversees a variety of venues that includes Venue 51. As an ‘07 alumna of the University, Millage has become well-acquainted with the Campustown community. Her responsibilities as event coordinator include giving tours, writing out contracts, handling billing information and a variety of other event planning, including establishments’ grand openings. “(Venue 51’s) opening night was a very successful night for us, and we were very fortunate to get such great reviews,” Millage said. Overall, the night consisted of drink deals, including $1 signa-
ture shots, $2 domestic bottles and $3 UV mixers. Free empanadas were also catered in by The Empanada House, currently one of the five caterers for events at Refinery. Taylor Eggenberger, sophomore in Media, attended the opening night and enjoyed its unique atmosphere. She described how LED lights aligned the bar, giving it a club-like feel while still maintaining a college vibe due to the giant projection screen in the main area. Eggenberger said Venue 51 has the potential to be successful because of its ability to be both a college sports bar and an upscale facility. She is excited to attend future events at Venue 51 this year. Millage said the projection screen will be ideal during the venue’s Superbowl party. Venue 51 will also play the Illini football and basketball games on the screen, both home and away, she said. The current cliental, according to Millage, is mostly college students. Available for private parties, the venue has booked a variety of sorority and fraternity events, with an estimate of eight to nine Greek-relat-
ed events for this semester alone, Millage said. Erik Scott, social chair for the University’s Acacia Fraternity chapter and junior in Media, has booked an exchange for his fraternity this October at the new locale. Scott said that he thought it would be nice to change up locations and found Venue 51’s new special to be particularly appealing. Scott was able to get a $500 discount for his fraternity, which is also applicable to any prospective customers if they book their event prior to Oct. 1. Although the average party is booked from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., there are a variety of negotiable times and available openings throughout the semester. According to Millage, Venue 51’s staff mostly consists of college students and they are still accepting applications for any Illini searching for a job. For all those looking to gain more information on Venue 51, its Facebook page is up and running at facebook.com/ EventsAtRefineryOnGreen.

Apple unveils impressive package in latest iPhones

BY JEFF GELLES MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
A fingerprint sensor to provide the ultimate security. A dual-flash camera that reads color temperatures and adapts. A 64-bit processor that adds speed and power. It’s easy to shrug off the latest advances from Apple, which largely seemed to confirm Silicon Valley rumors Tuesday when it unveiled two new iPhones, the 5S and the 5C, that will go on sale Sept. 20. Yes, it’s true: The top-of-theline iPhone 5S will boast builtin fingerprint authentication, to add a layer of security that would seem sci-fi spectacular if Disney didn’t already use something similar at its theme parks. The good news for the spy-shy: Apple says your prints won’t be stored on its servers. Yes, it’s true: A company that has almost fetishized its use of brushed, beveled metal and hightech glass has finally turned to plastic -- hard-coated polycarbonate -- for the body of its new, lower-end iPhone 5C. The good news to the fashionable: The 5C comes in blue, green, pink or yellow, with “matching wallpapers and translucency that carry the color through the entire experience.” The hardware Apple unveiled
APPLE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The top-of-the-line iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C, shown here, can be pre-ordered Friday. They go on sale Sept. 20. Tuesday, along with the new iOS 7 operating system it introduced earlier in the summer, once again mesh into a truly impressive package -- even if Apple is partly playing catch-up with features introduced in Samsung’s Galaxy Androids and Nokia’s Windowsbased Lumias. The biggest news may be that
Apple has finally accepted the segmentation of a market it created with the original iPhone in 2007. The new iPhone 5C may represent just a modest step forward in technology from last year’s iPhone 5, and its plastic body adds about two-thirds of an ounce in weight, but it’s a testimony to Apple’s ability to adapt.

Grocery stores modernize in reaction to changing market BY ANDREA CHANG AND TIFFANY HSU LOS ANGELES TIMES
Like many grocery shoppers, Michele Ricketts dreads long checkout lines. But lately, she’s been breezing by the cash register at her neighborhood Ralphs even with the usual crowds at the store. “In the last month, I have noticed it was faster,” said Ricketts, 27, an actress from Los Angeles. “I thought I was dreaming.” She wasn’t. To shave precious minutes off wait times, Ralphs has been installing technology to measure foot traffic in nearly all of its supermarkets. Known as QueVision, the system uses hidden infrared cameras with body heat trackers to figure out how many customers
are shopping at any given time. Managers use that information to redeploy workers to the cash registers when things get busy. The checkout system is part of a long-overdue effort by traditional grocery chains to evolve and stay competitive through the use of technology. The $518 billion grocery store industry hasn’t made a major leap forward since the bar code scanner was introduced in the 1970s. Technologies that have recently made their way into supermarkets include digital signs that update prices and locations of products and offer promotions by time of day, such as coffee and granola bar specials for morning commuters. To speed up the checkout process, customers can pay via fingerprint scanners or
use smartphone applications to scan bar codes themselves. A self-propelled “smart” shopping cart that can follow customers and lead them to items is being tested. Grocery chains are finally spending the time and money to modernize because they are nervous about losing out to rivals. Big-box retailers such as Target are beefing up their grocery sections, and Amazon.com has been aggressively rolling out its Amazon Fresh same-day grocery delivery service. Grocery industry revenue shrank an average of 0.4 percent in each of the past five years, according to research firm IBISWorld. Companies were hit hard by the recession as high unemployment and low disposable income forced consumers to cut back on premium products.

The art show will include photography, drawing and 3-dimensional pieces, and on the last day of the show, there will be a public Jurorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Critique. This year, a life-size wooden and acyclic structure of the Beatlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sgt. Pepperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lonely Hearts Club Band will be a new addition to the show. The State Town and Country Amateur Art Show will continue until Sept. 28 and is free of charge.

In the heart of downtown Champaign on 723 S. Neil St. and the parking lot of Bacon & Van Buskirk, the 1st Annual Fall Market will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Over 50 vendors will set up booths both inside and outside to offer home dĂŠcor, artwork, jewelry, furniture and more. Pekara Bakery and Bistro will have fall breads, cupcakes and other dessert treats for sale, and El Toro Mexican Restaurant will run specials all day. William Fleming, owner of Crossroads Corner Consignment, organized the fall market to offer an extension of his home consignment store that specializes in home decor and artwork. Vendors from Indianapolis, St. Louis and Peoria markets will also be present at the event to give businesses the opportunity to promote themselves in the Champaign market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those that live in dorms, this is a great event for them to be able to look at local art thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done here by photographers, painters or glassblowers,â&#x20AC;? Fleming said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there are going to be pieces that are in all price ranges, so they could get something if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a budget or they could splurge and buy something that might be a little more expensive but end up taking it home with them.

Saturday, Sept. 14 Hidden Treasures and Flavors of Champaign County For the first time ever, Visit Champaign County created a tour that showcases a variety of landmarks in Champaign county. Destination spots include Curtis Orchard, the Spurlock Museum and Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reindeer Ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it is to give not only life-long residents, but also people that are new to the community ... an opportunity to explore the things that our county has to offer,â&#x20AC;? said Terri Reifsteck, marketing director for Visit Champaign County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of people, particularly on campus, tend to stay on campus and do everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of surrounding that area, which all kind of makes sense because of lack of transportation. But this is a really good opportunity to see everything county-wide.â&#x20AC;? The tour starts off at Market Place Mall at 8 a.m. Saturday, where attendees will board a motor-coach and travel to different areas of the county. Transportation, lunch and a snack stop are included in the $12 registration price of the tour. The first location will be downtown Champaign, where attendees can enjoy tour-included refreshments from Pekara Bakery and Bistro. At this time of the tour, attendees will get a chance to walk into the 55 locally owned specialty shops, restaurants and bars of downtown.
From there, the tour will go to the William M. Staerkel Planetarium, the second-largest planetarium in the state of Illinois, where attendees will view a show from a state-ofthe-art projection system. Curtis Orchard is the next stop on the tour, where participants will go apple and pumpkin picking, and shop in the country store. Lunch will be provided at the Flying Monkey CafĂŠ. After lunchtime, there will be a quick tour of the University campus with a stop at the Spurlock Museum. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 other museums will also be represented to give visitors an idea of the cultural exhibits the community has available. A visit to the Larry Kanfer Gallery will follow, allowing people to get a taste for the arts and culture of Champaign. The tour will end at Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reindeer Ranch for a 10-acre Cornfusion maze and a visit with the dozen Alaskan Reindeer on the ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hear a lot from people that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to get out and explore what Champaign has to offer, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too busy or they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do on a particular weekend,â&#x20AC;? Reifsteck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we thought this would be a great way to get our own community behind the different things we have to offer.â&#x20AC;? The cost of the tour is $12 and includes transportation, lunch at Curtis Orchard and treats at Pekara Bakery and Bistro.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf tees off year at invitational Senior Hauter set to play for the 1st time since 2012 BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 18 months since Jonathan Hauter has competed for the Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team. Hauter last played in a tournament for the Orange and Blue on March 6, 2012. He golfed as an individual in a tournament two and a half weeks later, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suited up for the Illini since. The fi fth-year senior has been on the sideline for four Big Ten Championships and four appearances at the NCAA Championships. He has seen two different teammates win national titles and witnessed Illinois fi nish as national runner-up in June. Now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to show what he can do. Hauter will be in the fiveman rotation for the Illini at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fighting Illini Invitational in Olympia Fields. The tournament, Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fi rst of the year, has a stacked field of seven top-25 teams, including defending NCAA champion and current No. 1 Alabama, which defeated Illinois in the NCAA fi nal. Hauter said he noticed one thing that has set his teammates apart over the years: work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were all the best players in the country when they were here, and they put in more work than anyone else, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the perseverance that they showed. Everyone goes through ups and downs, even they did.â&#x20AC;? Head coach Mike Small said he thinks Hauterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience could come in handy, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean he automatically assumes leadership,â&#x20AC;? Small said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants to end on a good note. He did a good job competing this fall for us so far in qualifying. He needs to keep it going. We could use all the help we could get. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
his turn to step up.â&#x20AC;? Though Hauter is Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only senior, the Illini return a lot of experience, including four of its five starters from the NCAA Championships, with 2012 NCAA champion Thomas Pieters being the only departure. Small said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure whether to build off the momentum from last year or to just put it behind the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big difference is Thomas Pieters is gone. He turned professional, so now you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that lead dog in there anymore taking people with them,â&#x20AC;? Small said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about that already, where these guys have to figure out whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be that lead dog and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to jumpstart the team themselves instead of waiting on someone else to do it.â&#x20AC;? Small said junior Brian Campbell has assumed the role of No. 1 golfer. As a junior, Campbell has seen current PGA Tour member Luke Guthrie and Pieters lead the Illini. He realizes he has big shoes to fi ll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels pretty good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to see how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, like Luke Guthrie and Thomas Pieters, it just takes hard work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just followed their footsteps. Anyone can do it; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to work hard and put time into it.â&#x20AC;? Of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four returning starters, junior Alex Burge is the only one to not crack the rotation this weekend. Small always has his players qualify for every tournament, despite past performances. Instead, his role will be fi lled by Hauter and sophomore David Kim, who played last year but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the fi nal cut for the Big Ten or NCAA championships. The Illini tee off for the three-day tournament Friday morning.

PORTRAITS OF JERRICKA BOONE, ALEXIS CASATI AND LOUISE KWONG BY BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illini freshmen hope for strong start on court Three highly ranked recruits primed to impress in fight for Big Ten prestige BY ALEX ROUX STAFF WRITER
Big things come in small packages. While head coach Michelle Dassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incoming freshman class makes up a third of the nine-player roster, the three may not physically intimidate the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to make a little joke about the size of my class,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The height of my three, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly the tallest bunch Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen.â&#x20AC;? The tallest of the three freshmen is Louise Kwong, a 5-foot-4 lefty out of Earl Haig Secondary School in Ontario, Canada. She is joined by Alexis Casati from Deerfield, Ill., and Jerricka Boone out of Country Club Hills, Ill. Casati and Boone both stand at 5-foot-2. But Dasso isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried about stature being a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a lot of heart,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really so excited about these three I have coming in.â&#x20AC;? Kwong, Boone and Casati each bring impressive resumes with them to Champaign
they chose Illinois over other Big Ten teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted something close to home with good academics,â&#x20AC;? Casati said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a journalism major, so I wanted somewhere with a good journalism program.â&#x20AC;? Boone and Casati trained together with the same club in high school, and they shared the sentiment that they wanted to stay close to home. As for Kwong, she said distance also played a factor in her college decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most girls that play tennis in Canada try to get a scholarship in the States,â&#x20AC;? Kwong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted somewhere not too far from home.â&#x20AC;? Even as freshmen, Dasso expects them to contribute right away. The fall season of individual tournaments begins Sept. 27, and Dasso plans for each of them to play in at least three tournaments before the winter break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all three are going to make an impact,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to push the others and vice-versa.â&#x20AC;?

In
his first year at Illinois, athletic director Mike Thomas fancied himself Donald Trump. Bruce Weber, Ron Zook, Jolette Law: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fired. However tumultuous this was to the athletes and assistant coaching staffs at the time, Illinois has moved on. Many sports now have head coaches firmly settled and starting the second year of their tenure as Illini. Not all coaches who left during Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reign did so under compulsory conditions. Gavin Kennedy, who led the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross-country unit for one season in 2011, merely decided to take a similar position at Ole Miss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though he was fired from Mississippi this past May. Mike Turk, Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head track and field coach in charge of hiring for the cross-country program, moved quickly to nab rising star Jake Stewart. Stew-

The Illinois volleyball team has never lost a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuff Huffâ&#x20AC;? game, and despite facing possibly the toughest opponent theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever hosted at the event, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to this year. The Illini will play three matches this weekend against No. 2 Texas, No. 6 Washington and Arizona State. The level of competition doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have players like senior defensive specialist Courtney Abrahamovich worried, though, as the team seems exhilarated at the chance to face some of the best teams in the country in front of what she said are the best fans in college volleyball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are all going to be very good, but we are very good and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to be able to play two pretty well known national powerhouses, if you will, in Washington and Texas,â&#x20AC;? Abrahamovich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just excited that they get to come and see what they
as highly touted recruits. Kwong was a fi nalist at the under-18 all-Canadian nationals tournament, and was ranked as one of the top-five under-18 players in Canada. Casati and Boone were both ranked as five-star recruits by tennisrecruiting. net. Casati placed fifth in the IHSA tennis tournament as a junior, and Boone won the IHSA tournament as both a freshman and a junior. Boone didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete in the state tournament her other two years of high school. Even with a strong tennis rap sheet, the adjustment to collegiate tennis and college life hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been easy. Kwong, Boone and Casati have had to hit the ground running while balancing class and practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was going to be a lot easier,â&#x20AC;? Boone said of the transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually really hard to balance school and tennis and (mandatory study) hours.â&#x20AC;?

Arizona State, who the Illini will play at 10 a.m. on Friday, is an extremely fast-paced team, much like the San Diego squad that beat Illinois last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They run a very fast tempo and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll push the tempo to the pins and that typically is a good plan against us, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to overcome that,â&#x20AC;? said coach Kevin Hambly.
After playing the Sun Devils, Illinois will enter its annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuff Huffâ&#x20AC;? match against No. 6 Washington, a team that Hambly said has an even distribution of talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tremendously balanced,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In any rotation, they can set anybody and score, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be really, really solid in our team defense.â&#x20AC;?

Illini hockey preps for 1st matchups
Illinois hopes for strong start in preseason games BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER
Illinois hockey’s first games might not count toward its conference record, but they still matter. The Illini will hit the road this weekend, opening the season against the Springfield Jr. Blues on Friday night before facing Northern Illinois on Saturday afternoon. With the Jr. Blues being a junior hockey team and the Huskies being a D-II squad, the Illini’s matchups this weekend are nonconference exhibition games. In what can be viewed as a brief preseason, according to head coach Nick Fabbrini, the team is focusing on figuring out which lines skaters fit into and seeing what the Illini players can do in live-game situations. “Everybody’s going to play this weekend,” Fabbrini said. “We’re still juggling lines and I would be shocked if the first set of lines we put together are the way that we end the year. It’s a long season.” With a crop of new walk-ons and transfers, Friday night’s game against the Jr. Blues will be the Illini players’ first opportunity to impress Fabbrini on the ice. “We’re still making decisions on what the lineup is going to look like on opening night,” Fabbrini said. “After we start playing, it’s going to be up to guys to make sure they stay in the lineup and the way these guys play this weekend is going to go a long way to determine our opening weekend lineup.” Freshman defenseman Cody von Rueden has had Friday night’s game in Springfield circled on his calendar, having played the Jr. Blues all of last season at the junior level. “I’ve been biting at the bit to get on the ice,” von Rueden said. “I’m excited to play my first college hockey game. I’ve been waiting a long time for it and I’m happy it’s finally here.” Last season, the Illini split an opening weekend series with the
Jr. Blues to start the season. The Jr. Blues are already 3-0 on the year, with returning starters Trevor Stone scoring two goals and Mike Severson adding a goal and three assists in their games this past week. After Friday night’s game, Illinois will head to the Darien Sportsplex in Darien, Ill., to take on the Huskies. Ten of the Huskies’ 11 top point leaders from the 2012-13 season graduated after last season, leaving senior forward Justin Rucinski as the only player returning to have had double-digit point production (19). With Rucinski left to carry the Northern Illinois offense against a veteran Illini defense, senior goaltender Alex Hare (179-2 record in 2012-13) is the only other key player left returning for the Huskies on the ice this season. But while Illinois’ exhibition game against the lower-tier D II squad could be an easy win, the game is of crucial importance to the Illini’s roster organization as the regular season awaits around the corner, especially with two captains Austin Bostock and Mike Evans sidelined with shoulder injuries. Evans said the two senior leaders’ absence early on in the year won’t help the new players adjust, but it will give them a bigger opportunity to step up and prove themselves on the ice. After just two weeks of practice, the young Illini players will see their first collegiate ice time this weekend, while Fabbrini and his staff focus on making last-minute adjustments before the regular season begins. “We’re going to get out there and work out some of the kinks and things,” Fabbrini said. “You can’t really replicate game speed and intensity in practice, so I think the games this weekend will be a good test for us in that regard.”

Soccer looks to bounce back with home matches Illini seek consistency in weekend play against Indiana State, Florida International
BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER
The Illinois soccer team is preparing to play Indiana State on Friday and Florida International on Sunday. The team knows that, to bounce back from its arduous weekend in Arizona last weekend, it needs to put on a full team performance. The team has not displayed the kind of consistency to top the Big Ten standings. “At this point in time, it’s not a lot of new things,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “It’s a lot of repetition of what was once new so that now that becomes old and it becomes old hat. And once it’s old hat, it becomes consistent.” Offensively, the Illini have been more than solid. Illinois leads the Big Ten in goals and ranks 2nd in assists. Junior forward Janelle Flaws leads Big Ten players in goals with seven. Defensively, they have allowed the most goals in the conference and have yet to record a clean sheet. Freshman goalkeeper Claire Wheatley may lead the conference in saves, but that indicates the defense is allowing a lot of shots. Illinois has allowed 51 shots in its last two games. Fortunately for Illinois, Indiana State and Florida International are a combined 4-6-0 this season. Florida International has allowed 10 goals in five matches. Indiana State has allowed seven goals in as many contests but that number was inflated due to one game against Green Bay, which it lost 4-0. Rayfield knows that Indiana State’s defense will provide a different challenge from what the Illini have faced recently. Illinois will not be seeing a lot of wide plays and long passes but will have to focus on maintaining possession, something the team considers
a strong suit. “I think Indiana State, they really work to get a lot of numbers behind the ball,” Rayfield said. “So our possession is going to have to be good. Our speed of play is going to have to be good. We’re going to have to break down a pretty organized defense.” Rayfield has been stressing in practice that Illinois also needs to show a more organized defense. “We worked a lot on basically how tight we were,” freshman defender Casey Conine said. “(And) being a good group, moving together, making sure we’re all connected and talking and communicating so that we’re all moving as a unit.” It’s vital for the line of defenders to be able to stay together horizontally to keep opposing forwards from sneaking in behind and finding space. If the line stays together, it’s more likely to trap opponents offsides. Illinois will also value playing these two games on its home field. Last weekend, in a different time zone and climate, the team’s endurance and consistency were pushed substantially. The Illini view their test in Arizona as something that has helped to further develop them. Now with an opportunity to defend their home pitch, the players want to put what they learned to good use. “Last weekend was definitely a challenge,” senior defender Christina Farrell said. “That definitely helped us to gain strides as a team defensively, offensively. I think that prepared us for the rest of the season.”

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis set for tourney challenge BY DAN ESCALONA STAFF WRITER
The Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team will be looking to make a statement in its season opener against a slew of perennial national powers in the OFCC Invitational in Olympia Fields, Ill., on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good test for us to open up this season,â&#x20AC;? sophomore Jared Hiltzik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a tougher field than last season. We have to play very strong tennis to start out the year, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prepared well for it.â&#x20AC;? The tournament will include
the defending national champions Virginia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the team who eliminated juniors Ross Guignon and Tim Kopinski in last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubles tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and other top-ranked teams such as Kentucky and Notre Dame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a little bit of pressure for us to do well this weekend and prove that we will be able to compete with some of the top teams in the country,â&#x20AC;? Kopinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to look at this as just another match, any good stepping stone for us to get ready
for the spring season.â&#x20AC;? The Illini do not yet know which team they will play in the tournament, as the matchups have yet to be announced. For this specific tournament, the head coaches of each team, including head coach Brad Dancer, will decide upon the matchups prior to the start of the tournament. No one on the team has knowledge of who they will face as of Wednesday afternoon, and the players are determined not to let it affect them.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always approach every match with a consistent mindset, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it really matters too much who Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m matched up against,â&#x20AC;? Hiltzik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just play my game and have confidence that will be good enough to let me have success in every match.â&#x20AC;? Though the Illini have aspirations to make a statement at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opening tournament, the team is not looking to bring an overaggressive approach to the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think my main focus and the focus from some of the other
guys is just to remain calm and relaxed on the court,â&#x20AC;? Kopinski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know we put in the work this week, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for any of us to be too hyped up out there.â&#x20AC;? The Illini will be at a disadvantage at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition without Guignon, who will not compete because of inflammation in his knees brought on by issues with chronic knee injuries over the last two seasons. Dancer said his decision to sit him for the weekend was a precautionary measure and still expects
his team to be tough even without Guignon this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really been preaching to all the guys about how we need to show a lot more mental toughness as a team this season,â&#x20AC;? Dancer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend at Olympia Fields is a perfect place to show that. I just want to see our team keep its composure, regardless of the outcomes of each match.

Wait, why is Austin Seferian-Jenkins playing? ELIOT SILL Sports editor
A
ustin Seferian-Jenkins is a tight end for the Washington Huskies, and a pretty darn good one. He was voted a preseason All-American, and in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only game thus far, against Boise State, SeferianJenkins had zero catches for zero yards because he was serving a one-game suspension for drunken driving. You read that right. SeferianJenkins got drunk, drove, ran his car into something, blew twice the legal limit, which is an irrelevant figure because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 20, served one day in jail, took the minimum fine of $625 and missed a single game of action. The NCAA wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even the organization that dropped the hammer on Seferian-Jenkins. Its inaction left the burden on Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian, who was lauded for holding his player accountable after levying the token punishment. The Seattle Times published an editorial before the suspension was handed down, asking Sarskian to suspend who many consider to be Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most-heralded player for one game. Presumably this would send some sort of message to children buying his jersey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that this kind of behavior was unacceptable.
But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about one game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why is it OK to be this light about drunken driving? Drunken driving is just about the only way you can kill yourself, your best friend and innocent people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met without trying and yet have it be totally your fault. Drunken driving can be harmless, but the punishment exists for what can potentially happen. Seferian-Jenkins put his life, and the life of every other driver on the road that night, at risk. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me that crap about him being 20 years old and 20-year-olds making mistakes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discriminating against young people. We should be held more accountable than that. The Seattle Times editorial said by â&#x20AC;&#x153;most accounts,â&#x20AC;? Seferian-Jenkins is a good kid who made a big mistake. Why does it matter if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good kid? It is no consolation to anyone if the person that is intoxicated hits their loved one with an automobile is nice under normal circumstances. Or if they are sorry. Or if they learn something from it that rest of us already know. Sarkisian shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to tell a player he recruited that he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play because of a drunken driving conviction. That player should know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the rest of us do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the discipline he stands to face the moment he sees the flashing red and blue lights. This should be an NCAA policy. And Austin Seferian-Jenkins should not be playing this season. Seferian-Jenkins says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to move on from the incident, and the team is ready to
move on, and that he hopes the fans will be able to move on. What heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ignoring, blatantly and borderline disrespectfully, is that for regular humans who get convicted of drunken driving in America, â&#x20AC;&#x153;moving onâ&#x20AC;? usually means serving jail time, being hindered in finding future employment, and being denied the benefit of the doubt for any future arrests. Forget catching touchdowns. My qualm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally with Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Alabama cornerback Geno Smith was arrested for a DUI, and got a similar one-game penalty from Nick Saban. Recently graduated Illinois safety Ashante Williams got busted for driving while intoxicated in his time here. Williams was suspended from the program for two months, a span that included three games. My qualm is with drunken driving, and the tolerance of it by college football programs, and the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ignorance to it. One game is not an effective message. If the penalty was a season on the bench, then college players would have a heavier risk to weigh when deciding whether they should chance getting behind the wheel. This will become an issue eventually. We can chalk it up to a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistake, or we can address it now in hopes of preventing a tragedy from forcing our hand.

VOLLEYBALL
Crawford. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball officially starts their season Nov. 8 against Bradley in Peoria, Ill. And we all know about Tim Beckman and John Groce. Illinois football just beat a Cincinnati team that was supposed to rip them to shreds and Groce is a mean, lean, Starbucks-loving recruiting machine. People across the country bashed Thomas for allegedly destroying Illinois athletics. Michigan State menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach and long-time friend of Bruce Weber, Tom Izzo, even went so far as to publicly berate Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions against Weber as sabotage. But maybe Thomas was right. So maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the villain. But will it matter if Illinois starts seeing Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? Hopefully this year goes well and things start to stabilize for Illinois athletics, otherwise, give Thomas a bad toupee and a New York accent and he can start his own show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Illinois Apprentice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; coming to Champaign this fall.
11 feet,â&#x20AC;? Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our highest kid is (10-foot-6), (10-foot-7) and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Anna) Dorn, and they have four or five kids that are at Dornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height. They are the most athletic, highest team in the country, so that should be fun.â&#x20AC;? In the week leading up to their final â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuff Huff,â&#x20AC;? Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two seniors have been feeling different emotions. While libero Jennifer Beltran said she is only feeling excitement, Abrahamovich said thoughts of both nostalgia and enthusiasm have crossed her mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit sentimental,â&#x20AC;? Abrahamovich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just really excited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited for the freshmen to experience â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stuff Huffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the first time. Obviously our fans are super excited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing things all over campus about it, which is just awesome, it really pumps us up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little bit anxious, in a good way, to finally play at home because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been gone the last two weekends, so I think it will be really fun.â&#x20AC;? Abrahamovich said she appreciates everyone who comes out to support the team and make â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuff Huffâ&#x20AC;? as special as it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always hot in there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always packed, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always awesome,â&#x20AC;? Abrahamovich said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just can never get enough of it, of everything going on around us. And the support we get is just amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great event. And this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome that we get to play a few teams in the same weekend that are going to challenge us so much.â&#x20AC;? In order for the Illini to have success this weekend, the team has been working on making sure to put points away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just working on siding out,â&#x20AC;? Beltran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not giving teams runs of points. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we struggled with this weekend, we gave the opponent like five points in a row and with that of course weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re digging ourselves in a big hole, so we just have to stay determined to get the next ball.â&#x20AC;? After recording three wins over ranked opponents this season, the Illini may have a good chance of leaving their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuff Huffâ&#x20AC;? record unblemished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at ourselves as one of the best teams in the country,â&#x20AC;? Beltran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to, and we think we can go and beat anyone as long as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing our style. As long as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard and playing with determination we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be okay, so we think that we can beat anyone.â&#x20AC;?

TENNIS Dassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;othersâ&#x20AC;? returning from last year include All-Big Ten honoree Allison Falkin and All-American Melissa Kopinski, athletes who set examples for the three freshmen to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individually, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be ranked in the top 10 (in the country),â&#x20AC;? Kwong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look up to everyone. Melissa especially because she did so well last year.â&#x20AC;? While the upperclassmen provide a measuring stick for success, as far as Boone is concerned, now is not the time to be intimidated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really look up to anyone,â&#x20AC;? Boone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are a lot of good players on the team, but when it comes down to it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to compete against them.â&#x20AC;? But before the season starts, the freshman class is enjoying each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. Both Boone and Casati said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;closeâ&#x20AC;? before they arrived on campus from their time in the junior tennis circuit, and Kwong has blended right in with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends, which is really cool to see,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. While being a freshman at the bottom of the totem pole can have its disadvantages, the trio
PORTRAIT BY BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
prefers to look at their situation in a more optimistic light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have nothing to lose,â&#x20AC;? Casati said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like the underdogs.â&#x20AC;? They may be â&#x20AC;&#x153;underdogsâ&#x20AC;? for now, but Dasso has high hopes for her 2013 class along with her team as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all three of them bring different personalities and different strengths on the court, but the common theme is that these girls are motivated,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a Big Ten Championship. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we strive for and work for every
day.â&#x20AC;? But a Big Ten title and a banner in Atkins Tennis Center isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want my players to leave here not only as better tennis players, but as better people,â&#x20AC;? Dasso said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(I want) good kids that are passionate about getting better and have great work ethics. I feel like I hit the jackpot with these three when it comes to those qualities.â&#x20AC;?
