State finances hurt University BY BRITTANY GIBSON AND JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITERS

The University’s relationship with the state of Illinois could cost the University money in years to come, Comptroller Walter Knorr said at the Board of Trustees meeting Thursday. The state’s fiscal condition has depleted one of the University’s top revenue streams — state appropriations — and may soon place a new financial burden on the University in the form of pension reform, Knorr said. Because of this, the University may also have to pay more for future construction following having its credit rating lowered to Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service on Aug. 9. Aa3 is the lowest credit rating among Big Ten universities, but it is still considered a highquality, low-risk investment. “The Moody’s rating was disappointing but expected,� University spokesman Tom Hardy said. “The debt ratings for all but one of the public universities in Illinois (have been) downgraded.� Knorr said Moody’s pinned the lowered rating on the state for its fiscal troubles, including billions of dollars in backlog on bills and looming pension reform. “They commended the University for its financial management, given the circum-

Senators addressed the recommendations listed in the Task Force Report on Faculty Issues and Concerns at the first Urbana-Champaign Senate meeting of the year Monday. The report was a compilation of solutions to issues raised by faculty members this past summer. The recommendations in the report were put together by three subcommittees headed by Nicholas Burbules, Randy McCarthy and Joyce Tolliver. “Each committee met repeatedly over the summer, including numerous meetings with administrative colleagues, to share information that will help develop realistic, achievable solutions to the issues raised,� said Burbules, professor in the College of Education.

stances,� Hardy said. While Hardy expressed disappointment in the lowered rating, University finance professor Timothy Johnson said he didn’t believe the score would be terribly debilitating to the University. “I think the thing to keep in mind is that Moody’s ... doesn’t have any information that the public doesn’t already have,� Johnson said. “Stating their opinion is more or less like anybody else stating their opinion; it’s not like they’re revealing any new information.� Knorr said at the Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee meeting that the bonds sold for construction on the hospital in Chicago received a higher interest rate than initially anticipated, though he wasn’t sure if it had to do with the downgrade or if it was reflective of the bond market at the time. Hardy also said it’s possible that future projects will be affected by the credit rating. He cited two specific renovations, including work on the State Farm Center and residential facilities at the Urbana campus. “I think the question is whether or not (the projects) will be slightly more expensive because of having to pay a higher debt service,� he said. Additionally, the Urbana

The University has a record high enrollment of 43,398 this year. Overall enrollment at the University has risen in recent years, largely because of a significant increase in the number of out-of-state and international students attending the University.

The second-largest freshman class in University history has led to a record-high enrollment, according to ten-day enrollment numbers released last week. A higher than anticipated number of international students accepting an offer of admission pushed the freshman class to 7,331 students, 131 higher than the administration’s goal of 7,200, Chancellor Phyllis Wise told the Board of Trustees at its meeting Thursday. The overall number of students increased to 43,398, up 515 from 2012. “We’re getting more student applicants,� Wise said. “We’re enrolling students at an even higher rate, and finally, I’m really excited to tell you that the diversity is higher than ever before.� For the first time, more than ten percent of the student population is Hispanic, up 7.2 percent from last year. The number of African-American students increased slightly from 2,160 to 2,172, while the number of Caucasian students fell by almost 1,000, from 22,677 to 21,688. Wise said the University is still working on increasing the enrollment of Native American students, which has dropped from 57 to 35 students in the past two years. “We’re bringing in students

There were a total of 18 recommendations in the report, a few of which referenced faculty salary inequalities and a goal of making salaries even across the campus. The subcommittees set a goal of creating a comparison model for gains in salary for faculty members which are being offset by other factors, like the rising cost of healthcare. The report said the University’s ability to attract and retain world-class faculty depended critically on offering a highly competitive compensation package, which appropriately combines salary with other benefits. “We want to bring faculty salaries up to a highly competitive level,� said McCarthy, mathe-

She also said she was most impressed by the University’s 1,600 students who were the first in their families to attend college. “It’s humbling,� Wise said. “It’s inspiring. It makes us realize that we have an extra responsibility in terms of counseling, mentoring and advising these students because they can’t go home to their parents to ask them for advice.�

WASHINGTON — A mass shooting Monday morning at the Washington Navy Yard left at least 13 people, including a suspected gunman, dead, three others wounded and authorities desperately searching for a middle-age man in a military-style uniform. District of Columbia Police Chief Cathy Lanier said police have identified the gunman as a civilian naval contractor, Aaron Alexis, 34, of Fort Worth, Texas, who was identified by fingerprints. He was a full-time Navy reservist until 2011, last serving

Orlowski said the hospital’s main concern was getting them “healed and back on their feet right now.� “We have no indication of any motive at this time,� Lanier said at her second news conference of the day, adding that “there are very few questions we can answer at this point.� The FBI was taking the reins of the investigation, the police chief said. Lanier credited D.C. police and the U.S. Park Police for preventing even more bloodshed in the morning rampage.

Flood victims still missing BY MICHAEL MUSKAL AND JENNY DEAM LOS ANGELES TIMES

BOULDER, Colo. — Helicopters returned to the skies over Colorado on Monday as officials took advantage of a break in the weather to step up rescue efforts reminiscent of those in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. It was drizzling across much of the state Monday. That was a relief from the record-setting torrents that racked Colorado last week, turning tame brooks into raging walls of water that destroyed roads, brought down bridges and overflowed dams. The death toll stood at six confirmed deaths, but several people were missing and presumed dead. More than 1,200 people remained unaccounted for across the state. Officials said they believed the overwhelming majority were people who were out of touch because of lost cellphones or electrical power. However, no one knows for sure. “Some areas of Larimer County experienced a 100-year flood, some a thousand-year flood,� said Jennifer Hillman, a spokeswoman for the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department. “When you’re talking about rivers cresting 10 feet over their banks, no one can prepare for that. Blizzards and wildfires - those are things we do prepare for. A flood is a whole different beast.� Even though the weather is improving, the scope of the

CREDIT campus’s strategic plan for 2013-2016 calls for a $70 million investment in infrastructure. The Urbana-Champaign Senate Executive Committee’s Task Force on Faculty Concerns applauded the $70 million investment and called on the University for an even larger upgrade to its facilities in order to maintain a healthy Urbana campus and needs reliable funds for upgrades, a recommendation that would include a one-time cost of $213 million, in addition to $43 million annually. Overall, the lower rating could have increased costs for all of these investments. The Moody’s report gave the University a negative outlook, saying it was reflective of the decreasing revenue and potential expense pressures from federal and state funding for Medicare and Medicaid. Although Moody’s downgraded the credit rating, the company said there were strengths that contributed to the credit score as well, including bond security and University of Illinois Health Services Facilities System’s close, integrated relationship with the University. The Moody’s report said the credit score will not likely return to stable given the negative outlook for both thewwwwww University and the state. However, if the state’s current fiscal affairs were to improve, the University’s rating would positively reflect this change. The rating could sink lower if a few different factors occurred, such as a significant reduction in Medicaid funding or a large increase in debt. One of the reasons for the downgrade was the likelihood that the University will take over the responsibility for pensions from the state. Hardy said universities or school districts may need to absorb the “normal cost,� or pension, in the future, which

Record number of Americans now identify as ‘lower class’ LOS ANGELES — Chris Roquemore once thought of himself as working class. But it’s hard to keep thinking that, he said, when you’re not working. The 28-year-old father said he sparred with his supervisors at a retail chain about taking time off after his mother died and ended up unemployed. Since then, Roquemore has worked odd jobs and started studying nursing at Long Beach City College, trying

to get “a career, not a job.� All those changes, in turn, changed the way he thought of himself. Roquemore is among the small but surging share of Americans who identify themselves as “lower class.� Last year, a record 8.4 percent of Americans put themselves in that category — more than at any other time in the four decades that the question has been asked on the General Social Survey, a project of the independent research organization Norc at the University of Chicago.

and the status of possible pension reform, and Hardy agreed that Illinois is one of the states that is currently struggling the most fiscally, so the University was bound to be affected by its location. “The fact of the matter is we are a public university in a state that has some critical fiscal issues that it has yet to address,� Hardy said. “We’re going to keep

lor Phyllis Wise discussed the Campus Strategic Plan, which was completed in August. The plan outlines the main goals for the administration over the next few years. She mentioned three goals in this plan: rebuilding faculty hires, increasing fi nancial support for students in need and enhancing the diversity initiative. “It’s not diversity just in numbers (that we’re looking for), but diversity in relation to inclusion because that is a matter of excellence; that is a matter of our competitive edge,� Wise said. Wise also referenced the Chicago Tribune article that was published Friday about the lower number of in-state freshmen at the University this year versus a decade ago. She said the current freshman class was more diverse and competitive than those in years past, and the Tribune was trying to “turn good into lemons.� There was a proposal from the Senate Committee on Educational Policy to revise the 2013-2014 academic calendar. The proposal outlined a change in the venue and date of the commencement ceremony for spring semester 2014. The Senate approved the new date and location so that it will take place Saturday, May 17, at Memorial Stadium because remodeling on the State Farm Center will not be completed in time for the ceremony. The Senate will reevaluate this change next year.

matics professor. “Faculty should be involved with administration in monitoring our progress.� The report also included a few recommendations about the current pension plan at the University. The IGPA’s “Six Step� program was offered as an option because it addresses the longterm sustainability of the pension program and revamps pensions for newer campus employees. However, a complaint was raised about a lack of clear information about pension programs and current benefits, and the idea of a single faculty benefits handbook arose. One of the key issues was about the current Facility Condition Index, which measures the relative rate of deterioration of facilities at the University. The Facility Condition Index was 16 percent last year, down from 23 percent in 2007. The report listed an index goal of 0.1 percent. Many of the other recommendations were about clarifying policies campus-wide and increasing transparency, trust and respect between faculty and administration. Senators emphasized shared governance as the most effective way for the University to run smoothly. “The result (of this report) is not just a bunch of ideas, but in effect, a joystick which the administration will use,� Burbules said.

NAVY YARD “I think the actions by the police officers, without question, helped to reduce the numbers of lives lost,� Lanier said, calling the actions of fi rst responders “nothing short of heroic.� Because the attack happened at a military facility in the capital, there were immediate fears that terrorism might be involved. D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray told reporters there was no evidence one way or another on terrorism, and he confi rmed there was uncertainty about reports of additional gunmen. At an earlier news conference, Lanier said two men, one white and one black, between 40 and 50, were sought for questioning. The white male was said to have been dressed in a tan military-style uniform with a beretlike hat, the black male wearing an olive-colored military-style uniform. “These are people that we believe are involved in some way and we are trying to locate,� Lanier said, citing “multiple pieces of information that we have least two other individuals seen with fi rearms.� Later in the afternoon, police confi rmed that the man in the tan outfit had contacted authorities and was cleared. The area around the Navy Yard, not far from Capitol Hill, had been sealed off by layers of law enforcement personnel from local and federal agencies. Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer issued a statement

midafternoon announcing that no one would be allowed in or out of Senate offices. “In light of the uncertainty surrounding the shooting at the Navy Yard this morning and particularly the possibility of suspects remaining at large, we have decided to lock down the Senate complex,� according to the statement. “You may move about the building; however, for the next two hours you may not leave nor can anyone enter the building. This will be in effect until we deem the situation safe in the neighboring community. We do not have any information to suggest the Senate, its members or staff are in any danger, but out of an abundance of caution, we feel this is the best course of action to keep everyone safe.� The shooting began inside the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building, a workplace for 3,000 people, according to a press release from Naval District Washington. Contractor Sean Carroll described to McClatchy a chaotic scene on the second floor once the shooting started near a cafeteria atrium in the building. “People didn’t realize what you were supposed to do,� he said. “Just heard the sounds. It was really loud. You could hear the gunshots. That’s a surreal thing. You’re not really thinking. But it wasn’t like, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ You know with the world we live in. You know, ‘Oh my God. This is Fort Hood.’� Fort Hood in Texas was the scene in 2009 of a shooting that left 12 dead.

Teach for America takes 56 UI grads BY STEPHANIE AGUILAR STAFF WRITER

Teach for America, an organization that brings graduates to classrooms in various high-poverty areas, has released a report that shows the University contributes one of the highest number of graduates to the program in the country. On Sept. 10, Teach for America released its sixth annual ranking of schools contributing the greatest number of graduates to its teaching corps and this year, the University ranked seventh, a three-spot jump from last year. For the past six years, the University has ranked among the top contributing colleges and universities of its size. Lillian Nguyen, assistant director at the Career Center, said in an email that approximately 72 of Illinois’ graduating seniors were interviewed for Teach For America’s 2013 corps, and this year, 56 of those graduates from the University are now a part of the incoming corps. Teach For America, founded in 1990, has had more than 505 Illinois alumni who have taught as corps members. These individuals commit two years to teaching in high-need schools and become future leaders in helping end educational inequality, according to the organization’s website. Elsa Tippy, a 2013 graduate of the College of Education and a new member of the corps, said that having any support and experience the fi rst couple of years after graduation is always welcome. “Signing up for TFA aligned exactly with my goal of teaching in urban educational areas,� Tippy said. She said her experience teaching at Bronzeville Lighthouse Charter School in Chicago has been challenging but a learning and growing experience. Shawnee Cohn, Teach for America’s regional communications manager, said in an email that every year, Teach For America recruits a diverse group of individuals of all academic disciplines. The selected group goes through intensive training, support and career development to help the leaders increase their impact and fully understand the necessities required to provide an exceptional education for kids who aren’t getting great education, she said. “Every year, many outstanding Illinois graduates choose to pursue service-oriented assignments with Teach For America,� said Jennifer Neef, associate director in Career Connections

Program benefits teachers With high-poverty schools struggling to attract effective teachers across the nation, Teach For America is taking initiative to address the problem by providing an opportunity for recent graduates to teach in highpoverty areas. This program is highly selective and recruits a diverse group of college graduates and professionals who are then provided training and are placed in highpoverty schools. A new study, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences and conducted by Mathematica Policy Research, shows the effectiveness of secondary school math teachers from both programs, compared with the other math teachers in the same high-poverty schools. Results show that TFA teachers who leave after their two-year commitment would lead to higher student math achievement than a non-TFA teacher; the difference in scores is equivalent to the gains from an additional 2.6 months of math instruction.

E D I TO RIAL Teach for America not intended as a short-term program

EDITORIAL CARTOON

TAYLOR JONES MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

U

niversity students are making quite a dent in the Teach for America program. The University sent out 56 graduates to the program in 2013, the seventh-highest among large schools, or those with 10,000 or more students. Teach for America is a nonproft organization that enrolls highly qualified graduates into a teacher corp, committing them to two years of instruction at public school around America. Although those involved with Teach for America don’t need to have a teaching certificate to be admitted, a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education recently suggested Teach for America instructors can be more effective than the average school teacher. The combination of highly selective criteria and paralleled experience to that of actual teachers reinforces the program’s effectiveness. Teach for America participants receive a normal school district salary, benefits and are essentially treated as regular faculty members. Yet the study only samples 45 schools from eight states. Secondary math was the primary subject investigated, leaving out assessments on other subjects such as English or science. And the sample was primarily composed of white teachers, excluding the 38 percent of first-year teachers of color who participated last year. That being said, we can’t discredit public schools teachers, most of whom obtained their four-year college degrees and proceeded to obtain their teaching certificates afterward. Not to say that one route is better than the other, but we can’t disregard the work and effort of teachers who chose the more traditional route either. Hence why the Teach for America program is growing so popular. Considering the lengthening gap between graduation and finding a first job, Teach for America allows students right out of college to join. Not only are they receiving real-world experience, but they are obtaining an alternative certification through coursework taken during the program. And the program is even growing more popular here on campus. Since the inception of the program, nearly 500 Illinois alumni have participated. This year, nearly four percent of Illinois graduating seniors applied for the program. Clearly, students at the University are more than prepared for this selective program that admits only about 15 percent of total applicants. Illinois’ high participation rate in the Teach for America program highlights the growing issue of college graduates struggling to find jobs right after graduation. Although resorting to a nonprofit placement program such as Teach for America is certainly beneficial to students, it should not serve as an alternative to obtaining teaching jobs and degrees the traditional way. Critics claim that the Teach for America program typically recruits top-tier students who are only looking for shortterm participation in the program. They simply want the experience, the guaranteed job placement if accepted and the standard first-year salary as teachers already in the district. But Teach for America is not a shortterm solution for an inevitably longterm process of finding a stable job. It’s designed for those who have aspirations to continue to promote education, not complete their two years of teaching and discontinue. Students need to reassure themselves that they are joining the program for the right reasons, rather than as an easy way out. The University should continue promoting and encouraging students interested in careers in education or as educators to join the Teach for America program. Yet students’ intentions in the program should be explicit: Joining simply to obtain a job right out of college doesn’t just hurt the program’s purpose, but it could possibly inhibit other qualified students who are certain of their aspirations in education from being admitted. But if past rankings suggest anything, it’s that the University will continue to be a top-recruit for Teach for America for years to come.

University smoking ban in best interest of campus MATT PASQUINI Opinions columnist

T

he new year always fosters new beginnings and a chance to start fresh. The ARC and CRCE will become two of the most popular locations on campus when we get back from break, and people will become more concerned, most likely temporarily, about their mental and physical wellness. Well, this year, a part of that concern should be satisfied in a way that doesn’t require any work from the individual. And that’s because on the first day of the new year, smoking tobacco products on the University of Illinois campus will be banned. Upon hearing the news of the University smoking ban, I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I always believed that a person should have the liberty to smoke where they choose. We’re armed with the facts and it’s up to us to acknowledge them or ignore them. An estimated 443,000 people die prematurely every year due to tobacco use, and another 8.6 million live with serious illnesses caused by smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention. Not to mention secondhand smoke

has also been proven to be harmful. But who is the government or any public entity to tell others where to smoke? This is a free country, after all. On the other hand, there is no argument against the fact that smoking is dangerous. Aren’t we morally obligated to look out for the best interests of our friends and family? To ensure that they take the steps to live as healthy of a life as possible? Literally with every inhale, smokers take they bring themselves that much closer to death. And by making it that much more difficult to satisfy their harmful addiction, we’re offering them even more incentives to quit. Quitting early can save the lives of so many, but the failure to do so has brought us the loss of many loved ones. ABC’s World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings who died at age 67, could have spent a few more years behind the news desk but had to step down due to his diagnosis of lung cancer. Patrick Swayze, who died at age 57, still had time to star in so many great movies, but the progression of his pancreatic cancer, which he linked with smoking cigarettes, kept him from doing so and killed him one year later. In recent months, my beliefs and values have been developing, and I have brought myself to fall in line with the mindset that action should be taken to restrict

the habits of smokers. The University’s ban on smoking is in the best interest of the entire campus community. But I don’t support it out of my grave concern for the smokers themselves, but due to the health and safety of nonsmokers, who suffer at the stake of the smokers’ selfish habits. This is a matter of public safety and concern. As a nonsmoker, I’m still impartial and don’t pass judgment toward people who do smoke. Of course, I’d strongly advise any smoker against their acts but like I said, they know what they’re doing to themselves, and if they choose to suffocate their lungs and feed into the heartless tobacco company’s profits then please, be my guest. But as a nonsmoker, I don’t appreciate being subjected, unwillingly, to the negative impacts your habits inflict on my health. The American Cancer Society identifies two different types of secondhand smoke — mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke. Mainstream is the smoke from the lighted end of a cigarette, pipe or cigar; sidestream smoke is the smoke the smoker exhales. Both forms of smoke are present and both are dangerous. Sidetream smoke contains smaller particles of cancer-causing agents, which makes it easier for them to find their way into the lung’s and

body’s cells. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke and that nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke increase their risk of heart disease and lung cancer by 20 to 30 percent. This is primarily because of the 7,000 chemicals in cigarettes; hundreds of them are incredibly toxic, and 70 of them are known to potentially cause cancer. What I hope this ban will do is create an incentive to not smoke. Like a sales tax on cigarettes, it will discourage smokers from continuing their habits and hopefully be the driving force for those on campus who have been trying to quit. While we have yet to see what types of enforcement will take place, it’s assuring to see that the University has at least acknowledged the problem. While the grips of a cigarette addiction won’t magically loosen itself, the ban is the start of a transition that will lead to an increased quality of life for all and ensure that no one is subject to unwanted and unavoidable harms.

Campustown bars provide something for everyone KIRSTEN KELLER Opinions columnist

As

we are the No. 3 party school in the nation, a great responsibility is bestowed upon us: a thriving social calendar. While some of us may love the frat parties with free Keystone galore and sweaty bodies congested in a basement, fortunately, this campus affords us myriad other opportunities — like the bars. Each bar on campus has a personality, a stereotype that students at the University help to upkeep. Take Firehaus, for example. Potentially the classiest and cleanest bar on campus, Firehaus helps our ranking because it is a great place to fill up your stomach before a long night of drinking. Though slightly pricey, the signature chips are perfect to soak up that alcohol. If you’re looking to jump around, fist pump and have ample room to pole dance, The Clybourne is a great choice. It even has a clear glass entry door to the girl’s bathroom. If nothing else, that keeps the guys coming. Greeks have their outlet at Red Lion and Kam’s, where the button-ups and Sperry’s are endless and the Blue Guys keep coming. Wannabe singers have a place at the White Horse Inn (possi-

bly more accurately referred to as “White Ho�). After downing some liquid courage, hop on the stage and screech out some good ol’ karaoke. No one will judge you. (Except those vocal majors warming up in the corner.) Head to It’s Brothers, where the floor is stickier than a honeycomb and signature shots are in abundance. Make sure you get there before you’re too plastered, however, because there’s a daunting staircase that must be attempted to enter. And trust me, no one wants to help you up that. Pick shots ranging from The Chief to a Dirty Girl Scout. And my personal favorite? The Red-Headed Slut. Campustown bars don’t discriminate against chill upperclassmen who would rather not be told to throw their hands in the air. For those sophisticated students, Murphy’s and Legend’s are the places to go. Open a tab, grab a pitcher, plop yourselves down at a table and plan to stay there until plastic cups litter the table and conversations get loud and

slurred. And the big finale, where everyone seems to end up in the wee hours of the morning: Joe’s Brewery. Underclassmen especially will flock to Joe’s, where anything is acceptable on the dance floor. After waiting through a painfully long line to get in and paying a $5 cover charge (even if you’re 21 and it’s a weeknight), you weave yourself through the bar area and squeeze through an impossibly narrow corridor. And there awaits a hazy dance floor where the bass is bumping, “U�-stamped hands are waving in the air, and you have to scream into people’s eardrums to have a conversation. But don’t worry — talking isn’t necessary to have a great time at Joe’s. Girls, just wiggle your hips a bit and in no time, some male will come along without warning and attach himself to your behind. From there, if he’s a good match, you can keep on wiggling, but if he’s not, tell him you have a significant other and he’ll ditch you

When 2 a.m. strikes, the lights come on and everyone’s true identity is revealed. Sweatdrenched bodies and makeupsmudged faces shuffle toward the exit.

quicker than he came. Sometimes (OK, most of the time), wiggling turns into more. Maybe you’ll start macking on said stranger, but if you’ve really got a winner, you’ll get a good make-out session and a full-body frisk. No matter if people are watching though because, after all, it’s Joe’s and we’re in college, right? It’s completely acceptable behavior. When 2 a.m. strikes, the lights come on and everyone’s true identity is revealed. Sweatdrenched bodies and makeupsmudged faces shuffle toward the exit. Girls tug down their skirts while guys try to entice them to continue the night at Fat Sandwich, or those who want to cut to the chase boldly proclaim, “Maybe we could go back to my place?� Whatever your post-bar decision is, whether you make it to a trash can to empty the contents of your stomach or wherever you wake up in the morning, you will have made the University proud. We strive to surpass No. 2 University of California-Santa Barbara and boost our ranking to replace No. 1 University of Iowa. Thank you, Campustown bars, for your unique personalities that provide something for everyone. And where we can forget about everything in the morning.

British company pulls out of controversial mine project BY SEAN COCKERHAM MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — One of the two companies seeking to build Alaska’s giant Pebble Mine is dropping out of the controversial project as scrutiny grows over its impact on the planet’s bestremaining run of wild salmon. British mining giant Anglo American said Monday it is withdrawing from the Pebble Partnership, a 50-50 venture with Canada’s Northern Dynasty Minerals. Anglo American will take a $300 million charge for dropping out. Anglo American CEO Mark Cutifani said the company wants to focus on lower-risk projects. “Despite our belief that Pebble is a deposit of rare magnitude and quality, we have taken the decision to withdraw following a thorough assessment of Anglo American’s extensive pipeline of long-dated project options,� he said in a written statement. “Our focus has been to prioritize capital to projects with the highest value and lowest risks within our portfolio.� Northern Dynasty vowed to press forward on the mine. “Northern Dynasty and the Pebble Partnership have both the expertise and resources neces-

sary to advance the Pebble project,� Northern Dynasty CEO Ron Thiessen said Monday in a written statement. It’s not clear what Anglo American’s withdrawal will mean for the operations of the Anchorage-based Pebble Partnership, which Northern Dynasty and Anglo American set up in 2007 to design, permit and run the mine. The Pebble Partnership is circulating an internal memo that says, “Pebble remains an important project for Alaska and we will share additional information about the way forward for the project in the days and weeks ahead.� The Pebble Mine is a potential $300 billion deposit near the headwaters of tributaries of the Kvichak and Nushagak rivers. It ranks among the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the world and has the potential to be the biggest open pit mine in North America. The Environmental Protection Agency is considering blocking the mine to protect Alaska’s Bristol Bay salmon. It’s the most valuable fishery in the world, producing about half the world’s supply of wild red salmon. A draft EPA study released in

April concluded that even without a major accident, the mine could wipe out nearly 100 miles of streams and 4,800 acres of wetlands in the Bristol Bay region. In addition, failures of a pipeline carrying the copper concentrate or a tailings dam holding the mine waste could poison salmon with acid-producing compounds or copper. The Pebble Partnership maintains the EPA report is based on inaccurate guesswork about what the mine will look like. The final design for the mine hasn’t been set. Anglo American’s decision to drop out of the project comes as the company seeks to reshape its operations. Cutifani took over as CEO this year following the resignation of Cynthia Carroll and promised to be more discriminating about which projects the company was going to put its money into. Anglo American has a backlog of too many projects in early development, Cutifani said in a July presentation. “When we apply a tough financial hurdle rate to those projects, we’re knocking things out that probably shouldn’t be there,� he said in the presentation.

CDC report raises concerns over drug-resistant bacteria BY TONY PUGH MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — More than 2 million Americans develop antibiotic-resistant infections each year and about 23,000 die as a result, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Government health officials fear those numbers, which are conservative estimates, could worsen as overuse and misuse of antibiotics cause more bacteria to develop resistance to the drugs. Without a major effort to preserve the current supply of antibiotics and to develop new ones, they say future generations will be ill-equipped to fight off the deadly superbugs. “If we’re not careful, the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection,� said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC. “But if we act now, we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medications.� The new report, “Antibiotic

Threats in the United States, 2013,� is the first comprehensive analysis of the nation’s 18 most serious drug-resistant bacterial threats. The CDC, for the first time, has categorized the bacteria and the threat they pose as “urgent,� “serious� and “concerning.� Among the three “urgent� threats is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE. Known as the “nightmare bacteria� because of its high mortality rate, CRE is resistant to nearly all antibiotics and spreads its drug resistance to other bacteria that otherwise would be vulnerable to vaccines. Patients at long-term or complex medical care facilities and nursing homes are at the greatest risk for CRE infection, which is spread mainly by dirty hands. Medical devices like ventilators and catheters increase the risk of infection because they allow the bacteria to get deep into a patient’s body. CRE infects about 9,300 people a year and kills an estimated 610, the CDC estimates. A strain of CRE killed seven patients in 2011 at the National Institutes of Health Clini-

cal Center in Bethesda, Md. Another “urgent� bacterial threat is Clostridium difficile, which attacks patients mainly in health care settings. Although not yet significantly resistant to the drugs that treat it, C-diff is a diarrheal infection usually associated with antibiotic use. It infects about 250,000 people and kills at least 14,000 annually. Drug-resistant gonorrhea is the third “urgent� bacterial threat. The sexually transmitted disease infects nearly 250,000 people each year but kills fewer than five, according to CDC estimates. The 12 bacterial threats rated as “serious� include the superbug Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, which infects 80,000 people a year and kills 11,000; drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, which infects 1.2 million people annually and kills about 7,000; and drug-resistant Candida, a fungus that is showing increasing resistance to antibiotics. Candida attacks hospitalized patients and infects about 3,400 people a year, killing about 220.

Stars, audiences tearing down wall between film, television BY MARY MCNAMARA LOS ANGELES TIMES

The Berlin Wall was a thing of chicken wire and Kleenex compared with the barrier that once stood between film and television in America. Unlike British actors, who moved easily between stage, television and film, American movie stars were essentially instructed not to bother with TV. Oh, Brad Pitt might guest star on “Friends,� but everyone understood that that was just a favor to his then-wife. Anything more was an admission of failure; the trajectory of success went from television to film, not the other way around. As recently as nine years ago, when “Angels in America� sent Meryl Streep and Al Pacino up the Emmy red carpet in 2004, journalists could not believe their eyes — “Is This the Emmys or the Oscars?� ran far too many headlines. A few years later, stars including Kyra Sedgwick, Sally Field and Holly Hunter took lead roles in television shows, but even then it was seen as a “female complaint.� Women of, ahem, a certain age could not find roles in film and so were forced to, bravely, stoical-

ly, with heads held high, darling, find work in (shudder) television. Now, of course, that divide, like the one in Berlin, is but a memory. Oscar-winning films such as “Zero Dark Thirty� and “Argo� run on supporting casts pulled almost entirely from television, while small-screen credits regularly look like a chunk of sidewalk outside Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre. Though both “The Following� and “Hannibal� received no Emmy nominations, the trend shows no signs of slowing. This fall, some stars are returning to their roots — Robin Williams in CBS’ “The Crazy Ones,� Michael J. Fox in NBC’s “The Michael J. Fox Show,� James Spader in NBC’s “The Blacklist.� And, of course, James Caan in “Back in the Game,� Greg Kinnear in the midseason “Rake� and Queen Latifah on her own talk show. The shift is fueled in part by simple employment issues. In case you hadn’t heard, the film industry is having a tough time producing anything other than franchise fodder and Oscar bait, while high-production scripted television is busting out all over. Actors will tell you they follow

the stories, and it’s past arguing that some of the best stories are being told on television. But actors and writers and directors also follow the love. And right now, audiences are in love with television. Truly, madly, deeply, and in ways difficult to sustain in film or the theater. Episodic television is regularly deconstructed in a way once reserved for Shakespeare or the Romantic poets. Meanwhile, the people creating the shows we’re all mad for are similarly lionized. TV stars are the new movie stars, so of course movie stars want a piece of the action. This great migration may have some inter-industry downside for those who have long labored in TV. But likewise, TV’s growing prestige may raise the stakes in contract firefights, such as the recent battle between CBS and Time-Warner. At this point, it’s difficult to imagine the trend reversing itself. The participation of good actors, directors, writers and cinematographers from film will only increase the quality and variety of television content. Filmmakers can only benefit from the growing artistic credibility of the stars it hires from television too.

hampaign-Urbana is known for its eclectic music scene, with acts ranging from local to international fame. That’s why it’s no wonder that it’s the hub for kick-starting numerous musical careers and enticing creative musical passions. The C-U has fostered some touring musical talents that started in the very dorm rooms’ students strum guitars in today. “It all started in my dorm room with songs I had laying around and a guitar, and now it’s a lot bigger than that,� said Dan Durley, singer and guitarist for The 92s and senior in LAS. The 92s consist of three other members, and are self-described as a rock band with a bit of indie, folk elements. “At first we only played acoustic shows, then we got a gig at the Hard Rock (Cafe) and were able to do a lot of cool things in Chicago since then,� Durley said about the progression of his band. The 92s won a competition called Rock & Vote hosted by the Chicago paper, The Red Eye, two summers ago Durley said. They got to play at Hard Rock Cafe to a full capacity crowd and then got to play at the Taste of Chicago that year. The 92s haven’t been the only band to see success and progress since their beginnings in C-U. A group called Grandkids, which has a folk-rock sound, has released a few EPs (Extended Plays, which are CDs with fewer songs) and an album, and have toured and played at Pygmalion Music Festival as well. “Our lead singer, Vivian McConnell, was set to perform at Canopy Club her freshman year and she wanted to play with a live band, so she kind of recruited the rest of us to play this show and we’ve

been together ever since,� said Evan Metz, vocalist and guitarist for Grandkids. Metz, University alumnus of 2013, talked about how despite not being able to live off of what they do musically, the experiences they share together as a band have been some of the best. “Recording the album was amazing. The first two weeks of it we were hauled up in a warehouse-like place, and that was fantastic,� he said. “There were tears, there were fights and it was a really intense experience working so closely and so creatively with people in one space for two weeks straight.� “Looking back, when we weren’t in class, while everyone else was doing whatever they wanted on weekends or after school, we were out in a van together for hours, just the four of us, either recording, playing shows or touring,� Metz said. “After all of that, certainly I’d say they’re probably my best friends at this point.� Despite the excitement of touring and bandmates’ close relationships, the lives of musicians aren’t full of adrenaline-rushed crowds and spectacular shows. Rather, there are challenges upon challenges. Ryan Groff, lead singer and guitarist of the indie/pop-rock band Elsinore, knows all too well about the hard work and effort it takes to reach success. “You have to be really organized or things get really hard,� he said. Groff points out that the simple things are the struggle, like buying gas in order to travel. From traveling expenses to talking to booking agents, it can take a lot of time and effort to afford to be in a band full-time, he said. Durley of The 92s said he feels strongly about bands investing in themselves. “Just do it. Practice a lot obviously, but get out there and play shows and make sure the people in your band have the

same vision as you do,� he said. “Also, invest in yourself because you will see the dividends of that investment later.� But Durley also pointed out that for most people in this business, it is not all about making money. “We make money sometimes on small things, but in general we’re in the red. Every band is kind of broke all the time,� Durley said. “So it’s not really about making money or anything; I just want to be able to put out good records and have a platform to do it.� Aiming high, despite all the difficulties that come with the industry, is the only way to keep moving forward. Groff of Elsinore is a strong believer in that. “We’re aiming for the highest rung on the ladder,� he said. “This new record we’re about to put out in the next month is the best record we’ve ever made ... We feel like it’ll take us to the next level; definitely a goal for us is to one day be able to play for ‘Saturday Night Live.’� The shaping of relationships, the struggle of building a fanbase, the constant need of making ends meet and the process of putting out music to take pride in creatively makes the lives of musicians exclusively challenging, but also very stimulating. Groff said that young people setting out into this lifestyle find out early on if they’re cut out for it. But one thing that has made all three of these bands’ experience in the music industry a little easier is the ChampaignUrbana community. “The C-U is an amazing place to start out as a band. I’m really thankful we started out there and not perhaps a bigger city or a smaller one; I think it’s the perfect size for it,� Metz said. “The music scene there is so vibrant (and) you don’t have to worry at all about what kind of music you’re going to make. Everyone is so open to all types of music. There’s

always a place for you in C-U.� Metz said he’s sad not to be in Champaign-Urbana anymore, but Grandkids will be coming back frequently to play shows, with their next show booked for Pygmalion next week. Groff and his bandmates in Elsinore didn’t actually attend the University, but moved here after graduating from Eastern Illinois University. “We were down at Eastern Illinois and we quickly heard about this totally awesome music scene happening up in C-U, so we started coming up to Champaign as often as we could.� Groff said. Feeling appreciated by people in the city where one lives is very important to Groff and Elsinore. For them, there are few things more important than having a good hometown crowd. “Being a big fish in a small pond like Elsinore is, is actually really exciting because it fills your emotional gap tank,� Groff said. All three of these bands have come a long way from their beginnings and are continuing to grow. Each has made countless EPs, released albums (or is in the process of releasing albums) and have played for gigs with big crowds. Durley summed up the sentiments of rising bands similiar to the 92s when thinking about the future. “Music is something I want to do no matter what happens,� he said. “I would like to play music for as long as I possibly can to as many people as possible and to put out good records that I feel strongly about and care about. That’s the main goal.� The 92s, Grandkids and Elsinore will be playing at the Pygmalion Music Festival, which takes place Sept. 26-28.

Illini hockey aims to score NCAA membership

Players work on, off ice to draw crowds, raise funds

Illini hockey team still substantial and rewarding as a club sport

BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illini hockey team may not be in the league they want to play in, but there’s no doubt they’re one of the top teams in the one they’re stuck in. The 2013-14 season will be the first year the NCAA will include a Big Ten college hockey conference, but Illinois never got the invite. Instead, Illinois will head into another season with the A merica n Collegiate Hockey Association, a league comprised of 59 nonvarsity, collegiate hockey club teams. The AC H A i nclud e s seven conferences and six independent schools within its league, just as the NCAA operates as an umbrella with localized conferences within it. Illinois is a member of the Central States Collegiate Hockey League, a conference featuring six teams from the Midwest: Lindenwood, Indiana, Iowa State, Ohio, Robert Morris and Illinois. Illinois has been a part of the CSCHL conference since the 1975-76 season, making this year its 38th season with the league, the longest tenure of any of the conference’s six teams. The Illini are six-time CSCHL tournament champions and have won the regular season conference title three times, with the third coming last season . Illinois is also the only team to record an undefeated season in ACHA history (38-0) in the 2007-08 season . Head coach Nick Fabbrini

hen one thinks of athletics at a major Division I university, they think varsity sports; the NCAA, bowl games and a media circus. But there is a level of athletics that exists under the surface. Club sports play a large role at the University of Illinois. They allow students who were athletes in high school or at junior college to play at a higher level and continue to develop their passion for their sport. Illinois is home to 34 club sports teams ranging anywhere from underwater hockey and table tennis to the more traditional dance, soccer and lacrosse. These teams are undervalued for what they bring to campus, and the opportunities they allow students. Many of these teams compete yearly on the national stage. For example, the men’s hockey team is classified as a club sport even though it went 26-12-2 last season under head coach Nick Fabbrini, and managed to capture the CSCHL conference championship just one year after fi nishing under .500. Outside of the University, the men’s hockey team is

Beckman: ‘We need a little bit of a break’ after playing Huskies BY SEAN HAMMOND SENIOR WRITER

Illinois football head coach Tim Beckman may have said it best after the Illini’s 34-24 loss to Washington at Soldier Field. “We’re a young football team,� Beckman said after the game. “I told this football team that I was proud of them, proud of the way they’ve worked for the last 10 months. But we need a little bit of a break.� Illinois will get just that this week. The Illini have their first of two bye weeks this season and it comes after two nonconference games against tough power conference opponents. The Huskies ran circles around the Illinois secondary on Saturday and an extra week to revisit the fundamentals could shore up at least some of the defensive mistakes.

A moral victory? Illinois trailed Washington 31-10 at one point in the third quarter Saturday and Soldier Field began to feel a lot like Memorial Stadium did throughout most of 2012. But the 2013 Illini proved they weren’t the pushovers that the 2012 squad was. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase battled his team back into the game with a beautiful 72-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Lankford. On Illinois’ next possession, Scheelhaase led the Illini 62 yards downfield for a touchdown to pull within seven.

What happened next was symbolic of the overall theme of the day: The Illini defense failed to stop Washington running back Bishop Sankey, and quarterback Keith Price picked apart the Illinois secondary. Illinois linebacker Houston Bates said after the game there really is no such thing as a moral victory in a loss. But considering Illinois’ lack of real or moral victories in 2012, it’s a step in the right direction. Bates did concede that Illinois’ attempt at a comeback is something it could build off. “We need these games,� Bates said. “To be tested, to see if we’re going to battle throughout the whole game. But it’s very frustrating. Plays need to be made and you’ve got to make them.� Added Beckman: “It’s very disappointing after the loss, but I do think that (the players) understand that they’ve made strides in this program. We’ve got to continue to make those strides so when we get in the Big Ten we’re ready to play.�

DuVernois nabs player of the week honors Illini punter Justin DuVernois won the Big Ten special teams player of the week award Monday for his performance against Washington. DuVernois totaled 226 yards on five punts for an average of 45.2 yards. His long for the day was a 57-yard boot that came in the

third quarter with Illinois trailing 31-17. Three times against Washington, DuVernois had punts land within the Huskie 20-yard line. This was the first time the junior punter has won the award and he is the first Illini to win it since Derek Dimke knocked in three field goals against Western Michigan on Sept. 24, 2011.

It was announced Monday that the game time for that matchup will be 11 a.m. It will be televised on the Big Ten Network. The Redhawks didn’t play last week, but they might have been in dire need of a week off after dropping their opening two games. Miami’s closest battle was a 34-point loss to Kentucky on Sept. 7. The Redhawks will host Cincinnati, a team the Illini beat handily, this week before heading to Champaign. Miami has struggled on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Austin Boucher has just a 38.9 completion percentage for the season and only 14 completions on the year. Last season, the Redhawks won just four games.

Soccer aims to improve defensive play

BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

Despite defensive inconsistency, the Illinois soccer team has been able to muster a 5-2-1 record because of its impressive offensive performances this season. The Illini have scored 28 goals on 170 shots — good for first and second in the Big Ten, respectively — in eight matches. That accounts for an average of 3.5 goals per match, a very high rate for any soccer team. They are also second in assists with 25 and first in points with 81 (goals account for two points each and an assist is one point). Illinois is also represented in the top 10 of individual offensive statistics by junior forward Jannelle Flaws, who is second in the Big Ten with eight goals in as many games. She is also tied for second in shots (35) and ranked third in points with 17. Senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo’s 31 shots in seven games has her tied for fifth. She also ties for second in assists with six and tied for seventh in points with 14. Nationally, Illinois ranks seventh in scoring offense, sixth in

points, eighth in assists and tied for second in goals.

Young defensive players improving play and confidence Illinois’ 4-0 win over Florida International on Friday was not only the team’s first clean slate this season, but its first since the second round of the 2012 Big Ten Tournament when it beat Penn State 1-0 on Nov. 11. “Certainly, a shutout feels good,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “It’s been a long time since we’ve felt what it’s like to have a clean sheet.” Rayfield has put an emphasis on not just the defensive backline playing well, but the entire team being defensively disciplined. Against Florida International, the defense was stifling. The Panthers got off only seven shots, forcing freshman goalkeeper Claire Wheatley to make only one save. Rayfield has consistently praised Wheatley for making big saves throughout the season, even though Illinois’ 18 goals allowed are the most in the Big Ten through eight games.

“Our problem defensively hasn’t just been our back four or our goalkeeper,” Rayfield said. “In fact, our goalkeeper has made some great saves. It’s been our entire team defense, and we were certainly much better at that (against Florida International).” Other young defenders include freshman Casey Conine and sophomore Amy Feher, who only became a regular starter late last season. Fortunately for them, seniors Christina Farrell and Kassidy Brown have been there all season to mentor their teammates. As a unit, they’ve struggled to consistently communicate and play cohesively, but Illinois’ last game seemed to indicate improvement. “We’ve definitely been working a lot on getting everything together in the back,” Wheatley said. “And being able to communicate because we want to be constantly communicating.”

It means I’ve been here long enough to have 100 wins. It doesn’t mean that much to me. I know it’s cool, and I got a lot of congratulations. It means a lot that people are paying attention, but I’m about the next one. You know, I don’t care about the past. I just want the next one, 101 and 102. I just want what’s in front of us.

JOCELYNN BIRKS: It was

really cool. There was a lot of kids there, and they did a color war so there was color everywhere, and it was really cool. That was cool. Huff is always a great place to play, especially on Stuff Huff with so many fans and our families there, so obviously it was a lot of fun and really cool.

ID: On the court though,

however, you guys lost two out of three, and I just want to get your thoughts on the weekend and as far as what kind of happened there.

JB: I mean we had moments where we would play really, really well, and we’re doing the right things, and then there are moments where we didn’t exactly do that as well as we hoped. Washington and Texas are obviously really good teams, so it was good for us to be playing with them and even though we couldn’t beat them. So I think it was a good weekend for us to learn about ourselves and learn what we need to do and what we can do against really good teams. ID: Was it helpful for you, even going back to freshman year a little bit, playing that tough schedule where you’re always playing teams that are really good and ranked and everything? Did that really help you?

“When you talk about defense, it really starts with the serve. I think everyone looks at blocking, but the serve is the first line of defense. ”

JB: Yeah. I mean, I’d rather play really good teams than teams that are not going to be a challenge at all because then you don’t know going into the Big Ten how good you actually are if you’re not challenged.

Longtime college football coach Mike Dunbar dead at 64 BY SHANNON RYAN CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The purpose of Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey’s trip to Washington last spring was to deliver special cargo. He returned with a memory much more special. The last time Carey saw former Huskies offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar was to place an Orange Bowl ring in his hands.

That memory is especially meaningful to Carey after Dunbar died Friday in his home state of Washington after a battle with cancer. He was 64. “I don’t think (the trip) was bittersweet; it was just sweet,” Carey said. Coaches remember Dunbar as an organized coordinator who saw the game differently than others. He made 10 stops during

his coaching journey, working as a coordinator at Northwestern (2001-05), California (2006) and Minnesota (2007-08) and New Mexico State in 2010 before joining Northern Illinois in 2012. He was the head coach at Northern Iowa from 1997-2000. “Probably his greatest legacy is he was a great coach of coaches,” said Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, who worked alongside

Dunbar as Wildcats linebackers coach. “He was a true pro’s pro. I just learned a ton from him on a daily basis.” Dunbar left NIU last season after the first game to deal with his illness. Carey moved into the offensive coordinator role and was named head coach before the Orange Bowl when Dave Doreen took the North Carolina State job. “I learned so much from him

from an organizational standpoint,” Carey said. “The X’s and O’s and how he saw the game, everything had a place and a purpose. He would arrive at things through his process that other people wouldn’t even think of. He looked like a genius. He’d say, ‘I’m not a genius, I’m just too dumb to do it any other way.’” Dunbar is survived by his wife, Linda, and two children.

Bears tackle their biggest challenge: Adrian Peterson BY DAN WIEDERER CHICAGO TRIBUNE

JERRY HOLT MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Adrian Peterson (28) of the Minnesota Vikings is tackled by Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings in the fourth quarter at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, on Sunday. The Bears defeated the Vikings, 31-30.

CHICAGO — Linebacker James Anderson wasn’t about to call the Bears’ 31-30 victory over the Vikings lucky. Nor was he about to characterize it as a defensive masterpiece. All Anderson knew after an afternoon in which the Bears defense allowed 350 yards and created two takeaways is that his Sunday had been much too stressful. “Man, I’ve got high blood pressure,� he said. “I can’t keep dealing with this.� For the second straight week, the Bears rallied in the fourth quarter to pull out a heart-stopping win. This time, a defensive effort that was sometimes erratic included a grueling three-hour test in trying to stop the league’s reigning MVP. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 100 yards on 26 carries. It was his sixth career 100-yard effort against the Bears. While the Bears won’t claim they totally neutralized Minnesota’s biggest weapon, they felt as though they survived the Peterson challenge.

“With a player of his caliber, you have to continue to maintain and play sound,� Anderson said. “You never know when he’s going to break one.� Peterson’s longest run was a 36-yarder late in the first half, part of a Vikings’ touchdown drive that tied the game at 21. But overall Peterson had just one other carry of at least 10 yards and Sunday marked just the fourth time in his last 11 games he didn’t have a carry of at least 40. The Bears also stopped Peterson for 4 yards or fewer 19 times, adhering to coordinator Mel Tucker’s requests for “population tackling.� Both Anderson and Lance Briggs recorded tackles for a loss. “Run to the ball,� Anderson said. “Regardless of whether we were in single-high (alignments) or split safety, you run to the ball. That was all the scheme we needed.� Added defensive end Corey Wootton: “Overall, I think we did a solid job against (Peterson). But there was still a play or two here or there.�

Lions fall to Cardinals after Bush suffers injured knee BY DAVE BIRKETT MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Detroit Lions showed how explosive their offense can be with Reggie Bush in the backfield in their season-opening win against the Vikings last week, and how limp it can go with Bush on the sideline Sunday. Bush played sparingly after suffering an injured left knee just before halftime, and the Lions’ only second-half points came on a DeAndre Levy interception return as they lost to the Cardinals for the seventh straight time in Arizona, 25-21. Rashard Mendenhall scored the winning touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:59 left, two plays after Bill Bentley was called for pass interference on the goal line. The Lions’ desperation final drive ended near midfield after Nate Burleson was stopped a yard short of a first down. “Obviously, (Bush) was a big part of the offense, but that’s no excuse,� Lions

coach Jim Schwartz said. “We had plenty of other guys that can step up and make plays, and we just didn’t get it done on offense in that second half. It certainly affected us, but we’ve still got 11 guys on the field even after he was down and we’ve got to fi nd ways to convert third downs and get the ball moving and score.� Bush, who had 191 yards from scrimmage against the Vikings, took a helmet to the knee from safety Tony Jefferson after catching a 26-yard pass with about 6 minutes left in Sunday’s second quarter. He reached for his leg on his way to the ground, but walked off without the help of trainers and returned to run one play on the fi nal drive of the first half. Bush started the second half with a 7-yard run, but he fumbled a handoff on the next snap. He said he’ll have an MRI today and that the botched handoff was “100 percent my fault.� “I was able to go back in the game,

but I wasn’t myself, and I probably shouldn’t have gone back in,� Bush said. “But I went back in and tried to give it a shot, felt like I could still go but I wasn’t myself. We’ll see what happens this week. I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s anything serious.� The Lions (1-1) scored touchdowns on two of their first five drives with Bush in the game, including the series he got hurt on, and squandered another scoring opportunity when David Akers missed a 47-yard field goal wide right. In the second half, they failed to get a fi rst down on their fi rst three possessions, fi nished with just 90 yards of offense and had another Akers kick blocked. “We just didn’t execute as well as we needed to in the second half,� quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “Had some big plays in the first half, played really well. That’s a good defense we’re playing against. We didn’t execute as well as we could have in the second half.�

HOCKEY said one of the team’s goals this season is to not only defend the CSCHL conference championship, but also to win the ACHA National Title, which the Illini have won twice in the past decade. “We believe that we belong among the top teams in the ACHA,� Fabbrini said. “We got close last year. It wasn’t enough, but we were right there.� But as one of 59 Division-I club hockey teams, the Illinois hockey team doesn’t get the luxury of focusing all of its efforts on the ice. Playing as a club means the team receives no financial aid from the University, forcing the prog ra m’s fi na nci a l re sp on sibi l it ie s on t he Illini players and coaches, themselves. Senior defenseman Mike Evans said the Illini players are responsible for generating awareness throughout the community for Illini home games, where they make their primary source of funding through ticket sales, while the remaining bills get passed down to the team’s players and coaches. Evans said the players make promotional rounds to most businesses in the ChampaignUrbana area, even visiting fraternities and sororities in order to put up posters and schedule cards in hopes of bringing in larger crowds each

BRAUN a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association at the Division I level, but they operate as a Registered Student Organization on campus. So despite winning two of the last nine ACHA National Championships, its status remains unchanged. The space between club sports and D-I athletics is collapsing. Many teams feel that they work just as hard and represent the University much in the same way varsity athletes do. They have to travel to away games and be at practice every day. They condition in the offseason and act according to team and university policies. Where do we draw the line? What makes a D-I sports team? Money. In order for the hockey club to be considered a varsity sport, it would need money for equipment and scholarships. Not to mention the dough it

weekend. “We are the biggest marketing tool that we have,� Evans said. “It’s difficult, but it’s great when you see that payout with a lot of people coming out to the games.� The team was able to raise around $15,000 through a fundraiser earlier this year, earning donations from Illini hockey alumni from 2005-2011 teams. F re sh m a n defen s em a n Cody von Rueden isn’t used to helping fund a team himself, after playing six seasons in semiprofessional junior level leagues where he said the teams made money for their host cities instead of the team itself worrying about footing the bills. “There’s a lot more work than just on the ice,� von Rueden said after just a few weeks as an Illini. “We’re always going around town selling ads and putting up posters.� But the Illini hope the years of shaking hands and putting up posters can come to an end sometime in the near future with a jump to the NCAA, where they can receive University funding. Penn State was the last Big Ten team to make the jump from the ACHA to the NCAA in 2010, but it was a move only made possible through a $102 million donation from Buffalo Sabres owner Terrence Pegula. While the Illini don’t have a donor with a personal net worth of $3 billion to help kick-start a Division-I hockey program like Penn State, Fabbrini said the Illini have a devoted fan base

and a talented group of in-state players that can succeed at the D-I level. “Illinois is a hockey state and there are a lot of great youth hockey players here that have to leave the state in order to play Division I hockey elsewhere,� Fabbrini said. “The Big Ten Conference is going to be great for college hockey, and hopefully at some point the University takes a look at getting involved.� Evans believes Illinois’ chance to make the jump to the NCAA in the next few years is promising but is fully aware the players will need a little help to get there. “I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next five years it happened, and I hope it does because it would be great for the school and for Chicago hockey,� Evans said. “The thing is, there needs to be a large donation to build a new rink and to fund the program.� While playing in the ACHA brings about a heavy load of responsibilities off the ice, Fabbrini said the team’s performance on the ice is what will make the biggest financial difference when it comes to ticket sales. “We’re really trying to do anything we can to raise money, but a lot of that comes down to the way we play,� Fabbrini said. “We need to play well and get people coming back every game.�

would take for the ice arena, fondly called the “Big Pond�, to be renovated to comply with NCAA regulations for ice rink dimensions. There is an undeniable

an impossibility for the university administration and the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. D-I status is money, and apparently there isn’t enough to go around. But that doesn’t mean club sports aren’t important. I would argue exactly the opposite. Athletics — no matter how you classify them — exist as an outlet, a complement to a degree from a top-25 university. Many who participate in club sports probably see it as the defining aspect of their college career. Club sports anchor athletics in a way that makes it accessible to all students. You don’t have to be on scholarship and headed toward a professional career to continue to play. You just need drive, and yeah, talent doesn’t hurt. It may not be NCAA competition, but everyone wants to win.

Washington tailback Bishop Sankey takes it in for a touchdown against the Boise State defense in the first half at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington, on August 31.

Sankey leading nation in rushing after Week 3 Huskies tailback under the radar, but dominant BY ADAM JUDE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

SEATTLE — The headline in the initial wire-service report Saturday night summed up the national recognition of Washington’s running back: “Price, Stankey lead Huskies past Illini, 34-24.� It was likely just a simple typo, but the misspelling of Bishop Sankey’s last name underscores how unfamiliar much of the college football world is with the nation’s rushing leader. Not that Sankey is paying much attention to any of that. The unassuming junior set career highs with 208 yards on 35 carries, plus two total touchdowns, in the Huskies’ nonconference college football victory over Illinois in Chicago. Through two games, he is averaging 184.5 yards rushing — 21 yards more per game than the nation’s No. 2 rusher, Rutgers’ Paul James (164.3). “There’s not a lot of flash and flair,� UW coach Steve Sarkisian said. “He just does his job real-

ly well.� Sankey doesn’t seem to notice, or care, who is paying attention to the job he’s doing for the Huskies (2-0), who moved up to two spots to No. 17 Sunday in The Associated Press poll. “I’m just happy with what we’ve done and how we’re continuing with our success in the ground game,� he said Saturday night. “You can’t really worry about external stuff. Sometimes that’s more of a distraction that anything. I just try to stay focused and try to play within myself.� It’s not just a small sample size, either. Sankey has surpassed 200 yards rushing twice in UW’s last three games. He had 205 yards in UW’s bowl-game loss to Boise State in December (and then 161 yards in the win over the Broncos on Aug. 31). His 208-yard performance against Illinois made him just the fourth UW running back to have multiple 200-yard games, joining Napoleon Kaufman (with three), Corey Dillon (two) and

Louis Rankin (two). “I lost track, honestly,� Sankey said of his carries Saturday. “You’re just out there and the flow’s going and the adrenaline’s pumping.� In his past seven games, Sankey has rushed for 1,142 yards— an average of 163 yards. Sankey passed Jake Locker on Saturday for 13th place on UW’s career rushing list with 1,995 yards. At this pace, Sankey would easily move past Joe Steele (3,168 yards) for third place by season’s end. “We’re lucky to have him. He’s a really good player,� Sarkisian said. “It’s more than just the way he plays the game—it’s his attitude every day (and) it’s the person that he is.� Seeking its first 3-0 start since 2001, UW hosts FCS Idaho State (2-0) at noon Saturday at Husky Stadium. “We are all just thinking about moving forward and on to the next game and constantly getting better,� Sankey said. “We can’t get complacent.�
