UI looks to increase diversity, enrollment BY CARINA LEE STAFF WRITER

Alderman Dennis Roberts, Ward 5, speaks at a gathering in Urbana to commemorate a spot where Abraham Lincoln once gave a speech. An elm tree was planted in its honor in the same location, just east of downtown Urbana.
New tree commemorates historic site where Abraham Lincoln spoke BY STEVEN VAZQUEZ STAFF WRITER
Urbana celebrated a historic connection with Abraham Lincoln on Monday evening. At the location where an elm tree once stood 156 years ago — where Lincoln gave a speech at a political rally — about 30 Urbana residents gathered to celebrate a new tree, which Urbana officials planted last spring. A commemorative plaque was also installed at the site. Officials determined the location to be nearby the AutoZone store at 606 E. Main St. “(AutoZone representatives) were very gracious about it and allowed us to plant this tree on their property,” Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing said. Rebecca Bird, a planner for the city of Urbana, said the original tree died fromDutch elm disease, but the new elm tree is resistant to this disease. The story of the original tree was rediscovered by Urbana Alderman Den-
nis Roberts, Ward 5, by using sources from the Champaign County Historical Archives during Urbana’s Lincoln Bicentennial Celebration. The archives featured local newspaper articles that talked about the locally well-known elm tree, according to a news release. According to the archives, the speech was given during a political rally for John Frémont, the fi rst presidential candidate for the Republican Party. Prussing said officials were originally trying to locate a pine tree that Lincoln was said to have planted himself after accidentally knocking over another tree near the area. “We could never track that down and verify it,” Prussing said. “But Dennis Roberts got interested in the history of the trees around here and came across the story of this magnificent elm tree, and he’s the one who spearheaded this.” Roberts said one of the articles he used to determine the location of this
tree came from The Daily Illini in 1902 called “The Famous Elm.” “‘Possibly some of the University community do not know of the famous elm at only a short distance from our campus’,” Roberts read from the article. “‘The tree is located about two blocks east of the courthouse in Urbana. It is said that beneath the limbs of this huge tree, the Indians fi rst met the whites of this county to draw a treaty of peace. Lincoln, during his frequent visits (to) Urbana, also visited this spot.’” Roberts said he appreciates everyone who assisted him in uncovering this connection between Urbana and the former president. “I want to thank the people of the Champaign County Historical Archives for a lot of their help in pinpointing this tree through documentation,” Roberts said.

Although the academic year began only about a month ago, the Senate Executive Committee sat down Monday to discuss admission goals for next year. Stacey Kostell, assistant provost for enrollment management, said the goal of the admissions office is to increase fi rst-year enrollment to 7,000 students and 1,400 transfer students in addition to improving the quality of the pool. This includes a more selective application process. “One of our major goals is to efficiently manage the admissions, recruitment, selection and enrollment process,” Kostell said. Kostell said the University received 31,450 applications for the Class of 2016 and wants to increase that number to 32,000 next year. Another goal is to increase the total non-Illinois resident population from 24 percent to 25 percent. She said this year, more in-state students were admitted than international and out-of-state students. In order to achieve these goals, Kostell said the University will need to increase marketing efforts. Part of these efforts, she said, should include traveling to parts of Asia, but as many University students come from China and South Korea, the University is hoping to look at other countries, such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Turkey. University officials are also making a greater effort to admit students in other areas of study, she said. “When we continue to diversify and maintain the fi rst-year international pool, we look to both the country of origin and across a variety of majors,” Kostell said. Meanwhile, some members expressed concerns about increasing the freshman class size and the possibility of admitting more international students than American students. Konstantinos Yfantis, vice chair of the council of academic professionals, an advisory body to the chancellor, said that while he recognizes the value of diversity, he is concerned that there won’t be enough space for fi rst-year American students. “How can we be sure that enough people from our state have access ... and make sure those seats are not taken (by) international and nonresident (students)?” Yfantis asked Kostell during the meeting. However, Kostell assured senate members that the University is not admitting fewer Illinois residents than in the past and that in-state students are still a priority. Also at the senate meeting Monday, members discussed changes to the Academic Integrity portion of the Student Code in regards to cheating. Renee Romano, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the updates will be released Oct. 1. “We are going to post them online, and anyone — student, faculty or staff — can make comments,” she said. “And then a committee of students and faculty and probably some administrators, primarily from students (and) faculty, will review all the comments made between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31.”

Suitcase prompts evacuation
Possible deal to end strike favors teachers
DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
BY MICHAEL TARM AND SOPHIA TAREEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — An angry Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s appeal to the courts to end a six-day teachers strike in the nation’s third largest city set off a new round of recriminations Monday but did little to end a walkout that has left parents scrambling and kept 350,000 students out of class. It might not matter. By the time a Cook County Circuit Court judge considers the issue, the city’s teachers might well have voted to end the strike and recommend they agree to a tentative contract that labor and education experts — and even some union leaders elsewhere — called a good deal for the union. “This was an enormously successful strike (thus far),” said Emily Rosenberg, director of the Labor Education Center at DePaul University in Chicago. “I’ve never seen solidarity like this among teachers.” The dust-up in court may never move past the

Student Edgar Guerra, 10, watches Chicago Public School teachers picket outside Maranatha Church in Chicago, where Mayor Rahm Emanuel was visiting students that were taking part at the Safe Haven program Monday. The church was providing students with structured activities and a safe environment during the teachers strike.
An unattended suitcase found near the Harding Band Building prompted an evacuation Monday. University spokeswoman Robin Kaler said the threat posed by the suitcase was cleared in a couple of hours. An Illini-Alert was not issued. “We immediately evacuated Harding Band Building,” Kaler said. “Had Champaign police determined that there was something, we would have sent an Illini-Alert to evacuate.” Kaler urged people not to leave their belongings behind because the University has to take precaution and cannot assume unattended belongings are not dangerous. The Champaign Police Department could not be reached for comment.

CORRECTIONS In Friday’s edition of The Daily Illini, a feature photo caption incorrectly stated that the group serving apple juice shots and honey chasers were from the Illini Chabad. The article should have stated that the group was the Illini Hillel. In Monday’s edition of The Daily Illini, the article “Research, enrollment up despite faculty decrease” contained several errors. Federal research expenditures increased by 27 percent at Urbana and 17 percent at Chicago from 2007 to 2011, not 44 percent at both campuses between 2010 and 2011. The article also did not specify that the 117 faculty members were hired and 191 that retired or resigned in 2011 were only from the Urbana campus. And student enrollment increased 13 percent at both the Urbana and Chicago campuses over a 10-year period, not by more than 26 percent at campuses between 2010 and 2011.

STRIKE FROM PAGE 1A 700-page brief fi led by city attorneys that contends the strike is an illegal act that presents a danger to the health and safety of the district’s students. Judge Peter Flynn set a hearing for Wednesday, a day after the union is set to meet for a second time to discuss an offer than includes pay raises and concessions from the city on the contentious issues of teacher evaluations and job security. The fi ling was indicative of how the union has perceived Emanuel’s handling of the negotiations, and that may be the biggest remaining point of contention between the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union. The union immediately condemned Emanuel’s play in court, in which the city said “a vulnerable population has been cast adrift,” as an act of vindictiveness by a “bullying” mayor who was attempting to “thwart our democratic process.” “It’s another bullying tactic that, unfortunately, if he wants teachers back in the schools, he should have stayed away from that type of action,” said Jay Rehak, a longtime high school English teacher. “It only incites, rather than tones down the rhetoric.” Both sides have only released summaries of the proposed agreement. Outside observers said the tentative contract appears to be a win on the merits for the union and its roughly 25,000 teachers. While teachers in San Francisco haven’t gotten an across-the-board raise in years, for example, Chicago teachers are in line for a raises in each of the proposed deal’s three years with provisions for a fourth. In Cleveland, teachers recently agreed to the same kind of evaluation system based in part on student performance that Chicago has offered. “The district went past the halfway mark,” said Kate Walsh, president of the National Council on Teacher Quality. “They got a pretty good deal.” Some union members in Chicago have praised the school district’s move on what percentage of test scores will be factored into teacher evaluations, down from the 45 percent proposed to the 30 percent set as the minimum by state law. It also includes an appeals process to contest evaluations. The new evaluations will also be phased in over the length of the contract. That issue has been at the center of the contract talks and was noted in the lawsuit fi led Monday, as city attorneys argued the strike is illegal because state law bars the union from striking on anything but economic issues — including evaluations. It’s an issue that takes time to resolve, said David Quolke, president of the teachers union in Cleveland,
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
where implementing a similar evaluation system is taking place over four years. “They have a mayor, frankly, who chose confrontation over collaboration,” Quolke said. “Many politicians look at getting things done quickly rather than getting things done correctly.” The tentative contract in Chicago calls for a 3 percent raise in its fi rst year and 2 percent for two years after that, along with increases for experienced teachers. While many teachers are upset it did not restore a 4 percent pay raise Emanuel rescinded earlier this year, the contract if adopted will continue to make Chicago teachers among the highest-paid in the country. In Chicago, the starting salary is roughly $49,000 and average salary is around $76,000 a year. While noting they stood in solidarity with their colleagues in Chicago, leaders of other teachers unions said that aspect of the deal looked good from afar. Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation in New Mexico, said teachers in New Mexico can’t negotiate salaries; in Albuquerque, the average teacher salary is roughly $43,000. “It seems that they made gains, which was their goal,” she said. “They did a good job coming to consensus on important issues.” The city also won some things from the union in the proposed settlement. Emanuel gets the longer school day in Chicago he wanted and principals will have say over who gets hired at individual schools, something the union fought. The district will be required to give some preference to teachers who are displaced and the school district will have to maintain a hiring list and make sure that at least half of hires are displaced teachers. “This is the deal we got,” union president Karen Lewis said Sunday. The union and school leaders appeared headed for a resolution at the end of last week, saying they were optimistic that students would be back in class by Monday. But teachers meeting Sunday afternoon said they felt rushed after getting only a few hours to review a summary of the agreement worked out between the city and union leaders, and Lewis admitted for many teachers, the decision to wait until Tuesday to decide came down to a lack of trust in city hall and the school board. Having had some more time to think it over, some teachers were optimistic the deal on the table was good enough to end the strike when the union meets again Tuesday afternoon. “We made a lot of progress,” said Susanne McCannon, who teaches art at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School. “I’d like to be back in the classroom, but I want to be back in the classroom with the best situation possible.”

Protests continue across Muslim world due to anti-Islamic video BY ZEINA KARAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — In a rare public appearance, the leader of the militant Hezbollah group exhorted hundreds of thousands of supporters Monday to keep up the campaign against an anti-Islam video that has unleashed deadly violence and anger at the United States across the Muslim world. Although the massive, wellorganized rally in Beirut was peaceful, protesters in Afghanistan set fires near a U.S. military base, clashed with police in Pakistan, where one demonstrator was killed, and battled with officers outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country. The turmoil surrounding the low-budget video that mocks the Prophet Muhammad showed no sign of ebbing in the week after protesters first swarmed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, died amid a demonstration in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. The appeal for sustained pro-
tests by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group, could stoke more fury over the video, “Innocence of Muslims.” Nasrallah has rarely been seen in public since his group battled Israel in a monthlong war in 2006, fearing Israeli assassination. Since then, he has communicated with his followers and gives news conference mostly via satellite link. He spoke for about 15 minutes before a rapturous crowd estimated by police at about 500,000, many with headbands of green and yellow — the colors of Hezbollah — and the words “at your service God’s prophet” written on them. Nasrallah, who last appeared in public in December 2011 to mark the Shiite holy day of Ashoura, warned of serious repercussions if the U.S. does not ban the film and have it removed from the Internet. “The world should know that our anger is not a passing thing. ... This is the start of a serious campaign that must continue all over the Muslim world in defense of the prophet of God,” he said to roars of support.
“As long as there’s blood in us, we will not remain silent over insults against our prophet,” Nasrallah said, calling for a series of demonstrations this week to denounce the video. Notably, Hezbollah held Monday’s protest in its own mainly Shiite stronghold of Dahieh in south Beirut, far from the U.S. Embassy in the mountains north of the capital or other international diplomatic missions. Protesters demonstrated their fury by punching their fists in the air as they shouted anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans, but remained peaceful. The movie portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Protesters have directed their anger at the U.S. government, insisting it should do something to stop it, although the fi lm was privately produced. American officials have criticized it for intentionally offending Muslims. Protests turned violent for the fi rst time in Afghanistan as hundreds of people burned cars and threw rocks at a U.S. military
base in the capital, Kabul. Many in the crowd shouted “Death to America!” and “Death to those people who have made a fi lm and insulted our prophet.” “Our responsibility is to show a peaceful reaction, to hold peaceful protests. Do not harm people, their property or public property,” cleric Karimullah Saqib said. Several hundred people chanted slogans and burned an American fl ag outside the U.S. Consulate in the eastern city of Lahore. Some who tried to reach the wall of the consulate scuffled with baton-wielding police. German authorities are considering whether to ban the public screening of the fi lm because it could endanger public security, Chancellor Angela Merkel said. A fringe far-right political party says it plans to show the fi lm in Berlin in November. U.S. officials say they cannot limit free speech, and Google Inc. refuses to do a blanket ban on the YouTube video clip. This leaves individual countries putting up their own blocks.

Hundreds gather for anniversary of Antietam
BY MICHAEL TARM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHARPSBURG, Md. — Hundreds on Monday marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War Battle of Antietam amid patriotic music and cannon fire, recalling the mind-boggling carnage and an ensuing Confederate retreat that Abraham Lincoln considered divine approval for abolishing slavery. Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation five days after the 1862 battle in Maryland, “a decision that transformed and redefined the purpose of the Civil War and ignited the modern Civil Rights movement,” said National Park Service Associate Director Stephanie Toothman at the commemoration. More than 23,000 men were reported killed, wounded or missing in the dawn-to-dusk clash at

Jim Rosebrock, a volunteer portraying a member of the Union Army’s 4th U.S. Artillery, prepares for a cannon firing demonstration at Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Md., on Monday. A series of demonstrations and speeches took place at the battlefield to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s Battle of Antietam. Antietam, making the battle of Sept. 17, 1862, the bloodiest day of combat on U.S. soil. “Although Antietam battlefield witnessed the deadliest single day in American history, it resulted in a significant step for-
ward in eliminating a system by which human beings had been held in bondage in this country for more than two centuries,” Toothman said. She spoke before more than 500 visitors to the battlefield, which
is set on rolling farmland along Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, about 60 miles from Washington in western Maryland. The battle was inconclusive but the Confederates retreated to Virginia the next day.
CHICAGO — An attorney for an Illinois teenager charged with trying to ignite what he thought was a car bomb outside of a Chicago bar said Monday that agents may have improperly lured his client by telling him fictitious Islamic religious leaders condoned violence. The defense lawyer spoke to reporters after 18-year-old Adel Daoud, a U.S. citizen from the Chicago suburb of Hillside, made an appearance in a federal court. Daoud was arrested Friday after allegedly trying to set off a triggering device that was part of a fake mechanism set up by FBI agents as a part of a sting. He faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive. Thomas Durkin says agents wooed Daoud into participating by posing as terrorists and telling him imams overseas wanted him to engage in terrorism — contradicting instructions from the teen’s imams that such violence ran counter to Islamic teachings.
“The government played the imam card,” said Durkin, who has represented similar cases in Chicago. “I’ve never seen that before.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office has said the device was harmless and the public was never at risk. The FBI has used similar tactics in counterterrorism investigations, deploying undercover agents to engage suspects in talk of terror plots and then provide fake explosive devices. In 2010, a Lebanese immigrant took what he thought was a bomb and dropped it into a trash bin near Chicago’s Wrigley Field. In a 2009 case, agents provided a Jordanian man with a fake truck bomb that he used to try to blow up a 60-story tower in Dallas. Judge Arlander Keys delayed a ruling Monday on whether to grant bond for Daoud, saying he would decide the matter at a hearing Thursday. Durkin questioned how federal agents apparently approached Daoud after discovering he was active in a jihadist Internet forum. He said it wasn’t clear Daoud harbored any desire to launch an attack until agents reached out.

Editorial Americans, Arabs shouldn’t let ignorance drive us apart
L
ike the rest of the country, the events of the Arab Spring inspired us; the images of common citizens rising in protest against totalitarian leaders, the first free elections in countries who had never tasted democracy, the bravery of those who stood up enormous odds — all these things made us want to believe the Arab Spring could be the beginning of a different, better relationship between the U.S. and the Arab world. We still believe in the ideal of a democratic Arab World free of the despots such as Moammar Gadhafi. But the deaths of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans last week shocked and horrified us. While the Arab world has come far since the Arab Spring began in 2010, the raging protests in many Arab countries demonstrate that religious extremism and anti-Americanism still exert powerful influence. The first thing to understand is simple — we understand nothing, not the motive for the attacks, not the level of organization across the various protests and violence in the last week, and certainly not the Arab world’s perception of the West. Whether the attacks were due to spontaneous, public outrage over the anti-Muslim YouTube film “Innocence of Muslims” or a premeditated attack designed to occur on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 is, for the moment, still being investigated. To be sure, violence over depictions of Muhammad has historical precedent. Cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published by a Danish newspaper in 2005 preceded mass protests and attacks on the Danish embassy in Pakistan, and Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini famously called for author Salman Rushdie’s death over his novel “The Satanic Verses.” On the other hand, the president of Libya’s General National Congress concluded that the method and timing of the attacks “leaves us with no doubt that this was preplanned, predetermined.” Finding out the source of these attacks is the task of U.S. and Arab leaders. But we can shape how these events affect our own perception of Islam and Arab world. Blaming solely the film and its makers is simply wrong. Even when we denounce a film made to expressly offend, our tolerance and respect of Islam should never bring anyone to validate the murderous actions of the offended. Simply put, there is no level of blasphemy against any religion that would ever justify the murder of innocent people. That being said, we in the West are still unable to fully comprehend how religion as an institution affects Arab societies. In the countries in which these protests take place, the YouTube video in question probably would have been removed by the government. It’s easy to think Muslim citizens of these countries would conclude that if the video exists, it could only do so with the support of the American government. But maybe that’s not the likely conclusion either. These riots do not necessarily represent the future relationship between the West and the Arab world. Both sides see the other through lenses of fear and ignorance. As shown by the deaths in Libya, there are still those who would exploit these emotions to further violence. We must accept that creating a lasting, peaceful relationship with the Arab world will not be quick or simple, and we must not allow our own sizable ignorance and fear to push us to embrace violence and abandon hope.

“I
nnocence of Muslims”, a full-length feature, whose production involved a man who goes by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian currently being investigated for financial crimes and previously convicted for bank fraud, inflamed the global Muslim community upon the release of a 14-minute trailer for the movie. It ignited riots against United States embassies throughout the Middle East, spread protests against the film from Egypt to Australia and resulted in the death of a U.S. ambassador and three of his staffers in Libya. The film is an absolute farce, and the outrage from the Muslim community is understandable. “Innocence of Muslims” portrays Muhammad as an arrogant, sex-hungry bastard (the archaic definition), advocating only for himself and those disciples closest to him. In this depiction he wants women and blood ... and that’s about it. There is, at least in the trailer, no talk of the actual tenants of Islam, or the actual text of the Koran. Set against a 1980s-style green screen, and taking place primarily in two tents in the desert, actors’ actual lines are dubbed over with more insulting and offensive ones. The culmination of the trailer and the vaudeville act comes as a naked “Muhammad” is chased around by two women flailing their flip-flops at him. While I certainly don’t agree with the film’s message or with the way it was done, I must defend the filmmaker’s right to make and say such things. Islam has been “off limits” for most media, discussion and the depiction of Muhammad especially. In 2004, Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker, was killed after he released a film that discussed the abuse of women in Muslim society. The Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy in 2005, where Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the prophet, sparked riots against Danish embassies. “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were threatened in 2010 after putting Muhammad in a twopart episode of their show. One of the great things about the United States (and the Netherlands, as well as many other countries) is our freedom of speech, our freedom of expression. It’s what allows flag burning to be used as a form of protest, for the Occupy Wall Street movement to exist, for members of the Westboro Baptist Church to protest at the funerals of soldiers, for the Klu Klux Klan to advertise and for the Washington Post to expose government scandals. Freedom of speech cannot be limited to speech that only you agree with. As the American Civil Liberties Union explains on their website, “If only popular ideas were protected, we wouldn’t need a First Amendment. If we do not come to the defense of the free speech rights of the most unpopular among us, even if their views are antithetical to the very freedom the First Amendment stands for, then no one’s liberty will be secure.” As much as I may disagree with what you say, or you may disagree with what I say, we both have the right to say it. And that’s an important right. Perhaps it’s the most important right — it is the first amendment after all. However. As an appendix to my defense of free speech, I

must add that in speaking, you must understand and accept the consequences that come along with that freedom. Speaking, making films, burning flags, wearing black armbands and donating to political campaigns all have consequences, whether it’s being ostracized, mocked, or — yes, in some cases — threatened. I realize every time I write this column that I may get hate emails from those who disagree with me. People may attack my character, my opinions, my ideas. They may threaten me or boycott me or campaign to get me off the page. But in writing this column and signing my name to the bottom, I shoulder that responsibility. I understand it. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula initially gave the pseudonym of “Sam Bacile” when contacted by interviewers. This shows a cowardice beyond comprehension. In refusing to sign his name to his work he is effectively hiding from the responsibilities that accompany making such a film. His opinions are strong. When he talked to The Wall Street Journal before abandoning the moniker “Sam Bacile,” he claimed he made the film because “Islam is a cancer.” Statements like that, in today’s world, are sure to draw attention. Nakoula is aware of this, and runs from it. He wants to make and say what he wants without the repercussions that follow. That is neither strong nor honorable. It is not brave. Nakoula needs to remember the prophet of the religion he claims to follow as an example of bravery and honor. Honor does not cower and run from its responsibility. Strength recites verses when insults are thrown. Bravery lets the stone sit. In his harassment of another prophet, he has failed to follow the examples set by his own.

Editorial As Chicago Teachers Union strike stretches into its second week, teacher evaluations, working conditions must be agreed upon
L
ast week, more than 25,000 Chicago Public Schools teachers went on strike in protest of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s school reform agenda, forcing more than 350,000 students out of the classroom. The strike, which has continued into its second week, was the result of failed contract negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and the Chicago Board of Education. The school board wanted to implement a new system that would primarily evaluate teachers based on student performance on standardized tests. These evaluations were a major issue that prompted the strike. The system would let schools know which students are not learning at the accepted standard, but many teachers would also be at risk of being fired because of potential low test scores, which can be out of a teacher’s control. Student performance and achievement is something that should be considered when a teacher is evaluated, but if a student doesn’t do well on a standardized test, it doesn’t mean they are not learning from their teachers. Some students are just be poor test-takers, while other students just don’t care enough about school to try and do well on tests. The teacher shouldn’t be held responsible in those situations. Also, if students have consistently been behind
in school but continue to pass onto the next grade, it’s likely the teacher they have in the current school year would be unfairly held accountable. But, there are certainly some teachers who aren’t working as hard as they should be to make sure their students are learning. A better form of evaluation would be to place less weight on teacher evaluations and would also incorporate student evaluations. Students’ opinion of a teacher’s ability to educate may be most valuable. This is something standardized testing cannot do. The other issues at the forefront of this strike have been the implementation of a longer school day and academic year, as well as teacher working conditions. Chicago Public Schools has done poorly on national assessments and also has one of the shortest elementary school days in the country, so it is understandable that Emanuel wants kids to have more time to learn. But no matter how long the school day is, it’s difficult for some teachers and students to make the most of their class time when they have to attend schools without resources like a proper computer lab or something as simple as air conditioning. Though the school board wants to provide students with better education, they also need to provide teachers with the contract they deserve so students can return to where they belong: in the classroom.
iots erupted within Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia and Libya last week because of, according to several news networks and the U.S. government, an anti-Islamic video called “Innocence of Muslims.” The producer and director of the film hasn’t formally identified himself, but U.S. law enforcement officials cited Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an American of Egyptian decent. Notice I do not describe him as “Egyptian-American.” Nakoula, who went under many stage names, his most well-known name currently being Sam Bacile, is an American citizen whose family comes from another country. And as an American citizen, he has certain basic human rights that we all share: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech...” The First Amendment of the. Constitution goes on to include three other freedoms: press, assembly and petition. But for now, let’s focus on the first two — religion and speech. Religion is always a hot-button issue. It has been mentioned many times during the 2012 presidential campaign already, and it plays a vital role in both global policy and many of this country’s rituals. President Barack Obama cited a Bible verse at the memorial service for the four Americans killed in the Benghazi riots. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. It’s John 15:13 and quite appropriate for the somber occasion, not because it’s a Christian excerpt but because it speaks to the sort of men who were killed. There are other phrases that would have been just as heartfelt from the Torah, the Quran or the Vedic texts, but who cares which person sites from what holy text? Religion is not the real issue. Fundamentalist Christianity and Extremist Islam duke it out all the time, but it’s a front. Both players are covering up what annoys them most — what the other side says. An angry mob, set off by a view that they didn’t like, burned the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi and gunned down Ambassador Chris Stevens. Frankly, disrespect ticks me off as well. Being upset over rude depictions of a beloved holy figure is one thing. Bloodshed is another. “In an odd sort of way, this incident is introducing people who have no experience with freedom to the concept of freedom,” writes Steve Helle, journalism professor at the University. “There is zero support for the publication of this video in Muslim-dominated countries, and they do not understand why the U.S. would allow such publication. But merely asking the question — ‘Why would the U.S. allow such an offensive expression?’ — is a useful dynamic. Freedom of speech is counterintuitive. It does not come naturally. It is a learned value, and it is best learned in situations where it is under stress.” Speech is not just the spoken word, and when it’s free, it’s powerful — even dangerous. “Innocence of Muslims” has a crappy trailer. Take away the insensitive sentiment toward the Islamic faith, and you are still left will shoddy acting, historically inaccurate costumes and scenery that looks like it was rejected from Apple’s Photobooth background application. It was a low-budget project, and it shows. But Bacile (or whatever his latest name is) had every right to make this movie. This is not to say that he should have, but he did. And now Chris Stevens, along with Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, are dead. The violence in Northern Africa continues. According to the First Amendment, we have a right to express ourselves — we tend to focus on the “self” part. We forget that the freedom of speech also applies to our fellow Americans. Anyone who calls the United States his country has the ability to make ideas and viewpoints known. This is the price we pay for the freedom we enjoy.

SUSHI FROM PAGE 6A customers’ preferred choices vary; however, there is one type of sushi that is the overwhelming favorite. “I would say that the Big Roll across the board is by far the most popular,” Morgan said. A mouth-wateringly delicious piece of sushi with a zingy taste, the Big Roll, according to Morgan, is a piece that is essentially a tempura fried roll wrapped in seaweed that contains rice, tamago, crabmeat, avocado and cream cheese. But what makes the Big Roll so appealing to such a wide variety of customers? Morgan said that it is due to the Roll’s con-

temporary blend of American and Asian fl avor. “I think it appeals to people that aren’t necessarily familiar to sushi. It’s pretty mainstream in how it tastes,” Morgan said. “People like fried items — tamago is kind of sweet, and the combination of that with the crab and avocado is something that I think appeals to a lot of people.” Although sushi is KoFusion’s signature item, one would not necessarily call it authentic. “We do have some more authentic dishes, but the sushi here is certainly geared more toward American tastes,” Morgan said. Sushi enthusiasts are notorious for being a bit elitist when it comes to the difference between “normal” sushi, which is consid-
ered mainstream, and “authentic” sushi, which is very different from American tastes. “There are very few restaurants in this country that actually serve authentic sushi,” Morgan said. He said most sushi bars in Tokyo seat about 10 people and that making authentic sushi is a meticulous process. He also said sushi is an acquired taste. But authenticity hardly matters when it comes to the quality of food KoFusion has to offer. Whether it’s the highly sought-after Big Roll or a nonsushi item, there’s often a sea of people at the restaurant enjoying their KoFusion experience.

Professor recognized for work in disease detection BY CHRISTEN MCGYLNN STAFF WRITER
Growing up in the small town of Jonesboro in southern Illinois, professor Ryan C. Bailey was always in the presence of science. “You might say that chemistry chose me,” Bailey said. His father was his high school chemistry and physics teacher, and he recalls science being a reoccurring topic at the dinner table. Popular science magazines were always lying around the house. Bailey became an associate professor of chemistry at the University to pursue his own research interests and to assist future scientists in their academia through both research and teaching. “Illinois is not only a great University, but growing up it was my state school and I am honored to be on the faculty training the next generation of Illinois-born scientists,” he said. His lab here at the University generally works in the areas of bioanalytical and biomaterials chemistry. “Our overall goal is to develop new diagnostics tests for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease that can better detect the disease before there are symp-
toms, and/or more accurately inform clinicians on how to best treat the disease,” Bailey said. They also currently have an active program that is trying to make biocompatible materials that may be used in regenerative medicine applications. This involves the repairing and replacement of living cells, or tissue engineering. Bailey’s perseverance and passion for science has not only assisted his fellow colleagues and students, but has recently been recognized on a broader scale. He has been chosen as one of the world’s top young innovators by the Technology Review, a bimonthly magazine published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for his research in bioanalytical and biomaterials chemistry. According to the Technology Review, Bailey’s accomplishments range from “a silicon testing chip that fuses optical sensor technology with semiconductor fabrication methods,” to launching a company called Genalyte which “recently introduced its first diagnostic assay for connective-tissue autoimmune diseases, with a focus on lupus.” Bailey fi nds this prestigious acknowledgement to be “a tremendous honor, and the fact
that two chemists from Illinois (Prashant Jain) were recognized is really a great achievement for our department and campus.” Ironically, as an undergraduate, Bailey did not fi nd biological studies to be especially appealing. However, he said he came to the realization that the future of medicine lies just as much in diagnostics as it does in the development of new pharmaceuticals. He added that although newly discovered drugs usually gain the most fame from the media, the most challenging step in biological studies is trying to predict in advance which patients are most likely to respond to a particular treatment regimen. “This really is an exciting time to be a frontline researcher and I think the landscape of biomedicine will radically change in the next 10 to 15 years as a result of breakthroughs in diagnostics,” Bailey said. This chemist also maintains a “wonderful” life outside the world of chemistry which includes his “beautiful wife and two energetic boys.” And just like any true Illini fan, “a geneticallylinked aversion to Hawkeyes and Hoosiers!”

Cho Won-Hyuk, a 24-year-old college student, shops for makeup products at a cosmetics store in Seoul, South Korea. There has been a metamorphosis of South Korean men from macho to makeup over the last decade.
South Korean men turn to makeup to impress, gain power THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Cho Won-hyuk stands in front of his bedroom mirror and spreads dollops of yellow-brown makeup over his forehead, nose, chin and cheeks until his skin is fl awless. Then he goes to work with a black pencil, highlighting his eyebrows until they’re thicker, bolder. “Having a clean, neat face makes you look sophisticated and creates an image that you can handle yourself well,” the 24-year-old college student said. “Your appearance matters, so when I wear makeup on special occasions, it makes me more confident.” Cho’s meticulous efforts to paint the perfect face are not unusual in South Korea. This socially conservative, male-dominated country, with a mandatory two-year military conscription for men, has become the male makeup capital of the world. South Korean men spent $495.5 million on skincare last year, accounting for nearly 21 percent of global sales, according to global market research fi rm Euromonitor International. That makes it the largest market for men’s skincare in the world, even though there are only about 19 million men in South Korea. Amorepacific, South Korea’s biggest cosmetics company, estimates the
total sales of men’s cosmetics in South Korea this year will be more than $885 million. The metamorphosis of South Korean men from macho to makeup over the last decade or so can be partly explained by fierce competition for jobs, advancement and romance in a society where, as a popular catchphrase puts it, “appearance is power.” Women also have a growing expectation that men will take the time and effort to pamper their skin. Evidence of this new direction in South Korean masculinity is easy to find. In a crowded Seoul cafe, a young woman takes some lipstick out of her purse and casually applies it to her male companion’s lips as they talk. At an upscale apartment building, a male security guard watches the lobby from behind a layer of makeup. Korean Air holds once-a-year makeup classes for male flight attendants. “I can understand why girls don’t like to go outside without makeup — it makes a big difference,” said Cho Gil-nam, a tall, stocky 27-year-old insurance fraud investigator in Seoul who starts important days by dabbing on makeup after finishing his multistep morning cleansing and moisturizing routine. He carries a multicolored cosmetics pouch so he can touch up in public bathrooms throughout the day.

While U.S. cosmetics companies report growing sales in male cosmetics, American men are often wary of makeup. “Men Wearing Makeup a Disturbing Trend” was how American columnist Jim Shea titled a recent post. In South Korea, however, effeminate male beauty is “a marker of social success,” according to Roald Maliangkay, head of Korean studies at Australian National University. Amorepacific Corp. offers 17 men’s brands, with dozens of products to choose from, and operates two Manstudio stores in Seoul that are devoted to men’s skincare and makeup. South Korean men are barraged daily with messages in popular media suggesting that fl awless skin is a crucial part of any plan to get ahead at work and romance. “In this society, people’s fi rst impressions are very important. A man’s skin is a big part of that impression, so I take care of my skin,” said Kim Deuk-ryong, a 20-year-old student. It wasn’t always this way. The ideal South Korean man used to be rough and tough. Things began to change in the late 1990s, when the South Korean government relaxed a ban on Japanese cultural goods, exposing South Koreans to different ideas on male beauty, including popular comics featuring pretty, effeminate men.

Sushi rolling in the deep KoFusion serves up contemporary Asian cuisine BY SAHER KHAN

STAFF WRITER
he streets of downtown Champaign, which are lined with eccentric and contemporary restaurants and cafes, have a quaint, college-town atmosphere. On Main Street, near the corner of Church and Neil, sits KoFusion, a contemporary American and Asian restaurant. A distinct aroma occupies the popular sushi restaurant. The exotic yet familiar smell often sends people’s appetites into a sudden frenzy and draws them in, which is evident from the constant traffic of people entering and exiting the restaurant. Sunday and Monday nights are the busiest of the week at KoFusion because of its extremely popular $1 sushi special, according to Head Chef Nigel Morgan . “We have a really diverse customer base,” Morgan said, adding that customers vary from students and faculty to business groups. “Of course, with the dollar sushi we have a lot of students come in, but we also have a full kitchen menu, so we get all types of customers.” Morgan, who has served as a chef at KoFusion since the restaurant opened seven years ago, credits the diversity in their customer base to the fact that KoFusion can entertain any type of event. Whether it’s a business meeting, birthday party or just a night out for dinner, the restaurant’s style and menu is suitable for any occasion. KoFusion is owned by Janet and Barry Bubin, who previously owned the sushi restaurant Miko in Urbana. After selling Miko to another owner years ago, they took their expertise in the sushi and restaurant business to Champaign and opened Kofusion in the summer of 2005, Morgan said. The restaurant has a full kitchen menu, but it is most notable for its excellent sushi. With a diverse assortment of sushi options, many KELLY HICKEY THE DAILY ILLINI

Connections make successful careers BY KELLY CHUIPEK STAFF WRITER
Along with a diploma, memories and enough Illini gear to last a lifetime, students will also graduate with the single greatest tool to getting a job or starting a business: connections. For Brian Bradtke, University alumnus and founder of B2 Enterprises, the connections he made here on campus are what have helped him start his successful sports marketing agency. Started in January of 2011, B2 Enterprises is what Bradtke refers to as a “full-service concierge,” where Bradtke and his other two employees handle a variety of responsibilities including marketing, endorsements, PR, appear-
ances and signings, and charity work foundations for their clients, many of whom are NFL players. “Anything and everything that a client might need,” Bradtke said. Bradtke’s interest in sports marketing came after majoring in recreation, sport and tourism here at the University and helping with the football team, which opened the door to making connections to some of the former Illini football players he has today as clients. “I technically started the business in 2011, but the foundations for this business started with making connections here at the University while working for the football team,” he said. “I became
good friends with people on the team.” He added that connections are the key to starting a business and being an entrepreneur. “I always tell people ‘your network is your net worth,’” he said. “And college is a great time to start that.” These connections helped land Bradtke one of his most recent clients, former Illini football player Tavon Wilson, who currently plays for the New England Patriots. Bradtke helped Wilson manage the hectic life of playing professional football after graduating last year. “He explained to me (how) things go as far as the NFL and
how you want to protect your image,” Wilson said. “He’s always making sure I am doing everything I can to be the best football player that I can be.” For Wilson, working with Bradtke is much more than just business. “It’s more than just a business relationship between me and Brian,” he said. “I consider him one of my closest friends. He’s always been there for me and will do anything for me.” This feeling of friendship and individual attention is what Bradtke believes sets B2 Enterprises apart from other sports marketing agencies. With 10 NFL clients, Bradtke said he
can give them more personal concentration. “I am always making sure their families are comfortable,” he said. “I try to make sure everything else is taken care of so they can play their best on the field.” Bradtke said that in this referral-based business the personal attention and extra time pays off in the sports marketing world. Working alongside Bradtke is Griffi n Paul, Bradtke’s friend from high school. Paul joined the B2 Enterprises team in Jan. 2011 and enjoys building clients’ images and connecting them to charities, brands and businesses. “You get to meet a bunch of different people,” Paul said of the
business. “It’s very challenging but very rewarding. We do a lot of work for charity so you get to help others while also helping build your client.” At the end of the day, the most important part of sports marketing is making sure the client is happy. It’s that moment that Bradtke fi nds to be the most worthwhile. “I really fi nd it rewarding when I get to see my client on a TV commercial that I set up, or they text you saying, ‘I can’t believe you did this for me,’” he said.

Illini punished for off-field behavior; Beckman declines comment on injuries BY CHAD THORNBURG STAFF WRITER
Sunday’s football practice ended in an unusual way. Junior wide receiver Ryan Lankford said the Illini offense had to get on the ground and roll down the length of the field and back as a punishment for off-the-field missteps. “A couple guys weren’t taking care of things they
needed to do,” Lankford said. “Showing up late to meetings and things like that. When you’re trying to be great as a team, the little things count and that’s something that we really hold true here.” When the offensive coaches ordered the players to line up on the goal line, Lankford thought they were in for some running. “But they said lay down, and I’m thinking, ‘OK, are we going to have to do up-downs or push-ups?’”
he said. “And they’re like, start rolling. Then I saw the guys start rolling and I’m like, oh my goodness.” After it was all said and done, Lankford would have preferred to run. “Would have rather done anything else in the world,” he said, adding that some players vomited after the 200-yard roll. “You get about 30 yards in, you start to get dizzy, and it’s a tough situation from there.” Lankford, the only offensive player available to the media Monday, said recovering from the dizzying 200-yard roll wasn’t an easy feat either. “Forty-five, 50 minutes after the fact, I was still in my shorts, not showered yet, just in my locker just trying to get my mind back together,” he said. “The message was received.”
Defense seeing colors Two weeks ago, Arizona State’s up-tempo offense shredded the Illini defense for 510 yards and 45 points. After the game, several Illinois players and coaches cited communication issues as reasons for several defensive breakdowns. The Illini are again preparing to face a team with a similarly high-tempo offense in Louisiana Tech, and the coaching staff is looking to simplify the play calling process as time between plays will be scarce. “What they force you to do with their speed is limit what you’re doing,” head coach Tim Beck-

Outside hitters lift volleyball to No. 20 in latest rankings Illini utilize natural rotation, earn 3-0 record at Texas Invitational BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER
The Illinois volleyball team finally resembled the unit that was expected following last season’s deep run in the NCAA tournament in its performance last weekend at the Texas Invitational. With outside hitter Ali Stark hitting at the net for the first time since suffering a sprained ankle in the Illini’s season-opener three weeks ago, head coach Kevin Hambly was able to employ a more natural rotation. Hambly used both Stark and fellow outside hitter Jocelynn Birks in all six spots — something he had experimented with only sporadically since Stark’s injury. Hambly said Birks’ play gave the Illini “continuity in passing” and an attacking threat out of the backcourt. The redshirt freshman posted 60 kills to lead Illinois to three wins while also tallying double-digit digs in each game. Stark posted her first career double-double in the Illini’s four-set victory over Cincinnati in the final game of the weekend.
More court time for Birks and Stark resulted in sophomore Morganne Criswell playing a reduced role off the bench. The outside hitter played in only one set over the weekend: the first set against Cincinnati. Hambly expects to utilize a similar lineup entering Big Ten play but said nothing is set in stone and there is always a chance for bench players to make their way into the starting lineup.

DiBernardo set a new home record in the process, taking 11 out of 28 team shots during the game. She broke her previous mark of 10, which was set against Toledo last season. Illinois ran a fast-paced offense, using one-touch passes to create goal-scoring opportunities. This isn’t something that was planned, but proved to be beneficial for the Illini. “I think it depends on the moment in the game,” DiBernardo said. “We want to speed up the attack when we have a good opportunity at a goal. We just want to keep the ball, and, if it requires us to play some one-touch passes, we will.”
Bomb threat at Texas A bomb threat on the University of Texas’ Austin campus Friday morning put a scare into Texas students and faculty and briefly put the status of the Texas Invitational in doubt. The threat was received at 8:35 a.m., and the university instructed students and faculty to evacuate via text messages at 9:48 a.m. Illinois was in staying in an offcampus hotel and was relatively unaffected by the scare. “We were pretty isolated from everything,” Hambly said. “We’re at our hotel just hanging out. I think the girls were completely oblivious. If I hadn’t announced it on the phone call when I talked to their coach, (the Illini) probably wouldn’t have even known what was going on.” The threat was deemed harm-

and a universal appreciation for Illinois football. It may not have been the most interesting game to attend; I’d even go so far to say that the most exciting part of the game was when the whole crowd did the wave together. As a reporter, I’m pretty much required to hate the wave at sporting events, but during such a boring game, it was pretty cool to see such a diverse crowd unite
Freshman Nicole Breece, who has quickly found her place in the Illinois soccer program, scored the game-winning goal Sunday. In the 23rd minute, Iowa junior Alex Melin tied up the score 1-1 on a wellplaced header above Illinois goalkeeper Steph Panozzo. Breece immediately retaliated, splitting a pair of Iowa players on the attack. But the defenders then tripped her from behind, resulting in an Illini penalty kick. A well-placed shot was saved by diving freshman goalkeeper Meg Goodson. Though Illinois missed this opportunity, Breece didn’t let up the pressure. Only one minute later, waiting inside the penalty box, she connected with junior Megan Pawloski’s flip throw-in to give the Illini the lead. Breece is currently the leading scorer for Illinois with two goals. “It was the first real time for me to see that young freshman play,” Rayfield said. “What I thought coming off the field today

“What are teenagers doing walking down Green Street on a Sunday night?” I have grown comfortable in the fact that Campustown is a bubble and the only people I run in to are roughly between the ages of 18 and 25. Whenever I see someone outside of that demographic, I immediately wonder what on Earth they are doing inside my precious bubble. There is only one exception to that rule — only one time where I welcome
the presence of people of all ages — and that is at sporting events. There were people of all ages present at Saturday’s football game: plenty of college students, of course, but also families with young children, parents, grandparents, young and old alumni, Boy Scouts there for a special event and a plethora of aged people working as ticket takers, security and concession stand workers. All these people were intermingled with one another sharing pleasantries

Hockey roster finalized with regular season approaching BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER
With the regular season on the horizon, head coach Nick Fabbrini has fi nalized the roster for the new-look Illinois hockey team. Fabbrini has replaced last year’s graduating class with 10 newcomers to the program, including six freshmen, three sophomores and one senior. Out of the new arrivals, six are slotted to play forward, two will man the blue line and two will mind the net. The influx of forwards gives the Illini newfound depth that hasn’t been seen in the past few seasons. “Our front line is absolutely stacked,” junior goalie Nick Clarke said. “The new coaching staff and recruits have really impressed me so far and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish this year.” Among the new forwards bolstering the Illini front lines are freshmen John Olen , Kevin Chowaniec, Dan Easley and Daniel Kerr, as well as sophomores Mario Pacheco and Kyle Varzino. Fabbrini expects many, if not all, of his young core of recruits to pay immediate divi-
dends in the offensive end. Expecting all six to play important roles, Fabbrini sees Olen and Chowaniec as strong candidates to make the biggest impact out of the new recruits. Olen and Chowaniec are both coming off strong seasons prior to joining the Illini, combining for 24 goals and 17 assists for their respective teams. The defense, widely considered Illinois’ soft spot, is improved through the addition of sophomore Kyle Clark and senior Anthony Carlsen . The two defensemen bring muchneeded depth and experience to a group that lacked it. Carlsen, a senior, previously played for the Illini as an underclassman, but decided to take some time off from the game in order to pursue an internship and focus on academics. “I played for the D-2 team my sophomore year before I decided to take some time off,” he said. “Going into my senior year I decided to try out again because I really missed competing out on the ice.” Carlsen joins junior Ben Burbridge and senior Mike Evans as the only three upperclassmen manning the blue lines for the
Illini. Carlsen believes the lack of experience at the position is a non-factor. “What we lack in experience is made up for in work ethic and overall talent,” he said. “I think we have a solid core of defensemen who will all contribute in different areas.” Additionally, starting goalie Nick Clarke will be joined in the crease by freshmen Robert Schmidt and Mike Gordon . Schmidt and Gordon both saw time between the pipes against Springfield, combining to make 13 saves on 15 shots in a series split. With less than a week until the team opens up the season against Michigan State, Fabbrini said he thinks the team is ready from a camaraderie standpoint despite the overhaul. “I think the guys are starting to form quite a bit of chemistry,” he said. “Between our practices and our dry land workouts, I think the guys are really starting to come together as a group already which is a great sign, considering we’ve only been practicing for two weeks.”

Nicole Breece (11) dribbles past a defender during Sunday afternoon’s match against Iowa. The Illini held on to win their conference opener 2-1.
SOCCER FROM PAGE 1B was, ‘This is going to be a fun one to watch over four years.’ That’s a player, I think as we move forward, she’s going to continue to get better and better.”
Key factors return for first conference win Rayfield and DiBernardo arrived back from Japan last Monday afternoon after winning the under-20 Women’s
FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1B man said. “You’re not going to be able to do a whole bunch of things because you want to make sure that everything that’s put in, is put in correctly.” Rather than waiting for various hand signals from the coaches on the sideline, the Illini have streamlined the process by implementing color cards after the Arizona State loss in which each color corresponds to specific call. “We actually told the coaches to stop trying to signal in calls when (the opponents) go in that route, going that fast,” STAR Ashante Williams said. “Everybody knows this color means a certain type of defense, so we’re going to resort to that a lot this week.”
World Cup. The two left multiple times during the offseason to compete with the U.S. national team before leaving for competition early August. Though they were missed at the beginning of the season, the pair returned to Illinois just in time for Big Ten season. Breece had never played with DiBernardo in a regular season matchup but made an obvious connection with her on the field. “We missed them, but they did awesome out in Japan. To have them back is a really good feeling and it’s like they never
missed a beat,” she said. Illinois had a similar start to its conference season last year, playing the opener against an undefeated Iowa team. Last season, the Illini only managed a 2-2 tie, but came out on top this year. “It’s certainly great to be back,” Rayfi eld said. “What a great day to be at home in front of the Illini fans and pull off a Big Ten win. It’s a good day to start the welcome home.”
Southern, and Beckman only revealed that quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who missed the past two games with an ankle injury, practiced Sunday night. “We’re not being cautious with anybody,” Beckman said. “He just wasn’t ready. We’re not going to put anybody out there that’s not ready.” In addition to Scheelhaase, center Graham Pocic, linebacker Houston Bates, running back Josh Ferguson and safeties Supo Sanni and Steve Hull were among the starters who missed Saturday’s game. Kicker Nick Immekus and wide receiver Darius Millines both left with injuries. “You saw all the guys dressed in shirts and shorts on the sidelines,” he said. “This is the most (injuries) that I’ve ever been around in my entire life.”
including six true freshmen. Four in particular stood out against Charleston Southern: running back Dami Ayoola, defensive back V’Angelo Bentley, wide receiver Justin Hardee and linebacker Mason Monheim. Ayoola ran for 55 yards and one touchdown, Bentley broke up three pass attempts, Justin Hardee caught five balls for 99 yards and Monheim hauled in his first career interception. Beckman and the coaching staff have talked about young players needing game experience to build depth, but the early playing time for freshmen and sophomores has an added benefit. “If I’m a high school football player, I’d love to go some place where I know I can play right away and not watch,” Beckman said. “When we’re out on the road and we’re able to recruit and talk to the young men on the phones, those are things that we talk about doing is coming in and being a starter and having that possibility like a Mason Monheim has.”

to No. 20, while one of their victims from the weekend, Texas, fell three spots to No. 9. The Big Ten maintained a strong presence in the top 25 despite Nebraska losing its grasp on the No. 1 ranking after suffering its first loss of the season to No. 19 Iowa State. Two weekends ago, the Cyclones split two games with Illinois. The Cornhuskers slipped to No. 3, still one spot ahead of Penn State even though the Nit-
tany Lions went 3-0 last weekend. Minnesota, which is Illinois’ opponent next Friday, fell to No. 12 after dropping a five-set match to No. 11 Kansas State.Purdue came in at No. 17, Ohio State at No. 23 and Michigan State moved into the rankings at No. 25 to give the Big Ten seven teams in the top 25 — the most of any conference.
individuals have some connection to sports, whether they were an athlete themselves, know someone who was an athlete, enjoy watching sports or worked with sports in some sense. Although rules may change over the years, athletes may have different priorities from the past and leagues seem like nothing but a shadow of their roots — the foundation of sports always remains the same. My grandpa turned 92 on Sunday. Props to him for that one because every birthday past 90 is a great accomplishment. I love my grandpa very much and he is a phenomenal person who has lived a long and fruitful life. However, sometimes we run out of topics to talk about because, with 70 years in between us, there is a bit of a generation gap. Something we can always fall back on is sports. My grandpa watched a bit of the Paralympics while I was visiting him for his birthday. He was enthralled by the wheelchair racers — he called them “chariot racers” and was amazed when watching a blind man long jump.
My grandpa has travelled the world (he went to Italy every year for over a decade straight), witnessed an infinite number of life’s little wonders (he raised seven children and ran a grocery store) and experienced great heartbreak (he was orphaned before the age of 10, fought in WWII and has outlived his four siblings and his wife). With everything he’s lived through, he can still become awestruck by sport, and still look on with wonder as a blind man leaps across a pit of sand. Now that’s impressive. My grandpa played unorganized soccer before he immigrated to America at the age of 15. In America, he didn’t understand sports right away, though he attempted to play baseball in the beginning. Then, when he was older, he played a lot of golf and started a ping pong group with his friends. At 92, he’s a little bit past the sports playing age, but still goes outside and throws bean bags. He beats me, which is a little embarrassing, as I’m a college student supposedly in my prime. With vigilance, he watches the

BAYCI FROM PAGE 1B together for a common cause, even if it was the wave. All these people were brought together because of sport. They may have been there for different reasons: Illini pride, everybody in their family was doing it or just as a fun activity on a late summer day. Maybe not everybody in attendance fully understood the game of football, but they are all able to talk the basics of the sport. In Saturday’s sense, Illinois was winning by a lot. Winning is good. This understanding (or lack thereof) opens the door for simple conversations. An older woman can ask a teenager, “What just happened in that play?” A little boy can show a stranger the new souvenir he just bought. A younger man can share his frustrations with another about a call simply not being fair. The universal knowledge and appreciation of football, and sports in general, is enough to bridge any generation gap. Most

Illini volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly, left, and sophomore Anna Dorn speak on-air with Illini Drive on Monday.
Hambly, Dorn talk Texas victory, what it takes to win in Big Ten Editor’s note: The following is a partial transcript from an Illini Drive interview with Illinois volleyball head coach Kevin Hambly and sophomore middle blocker Anna Dorn. Illini Drive: Just before the (Texas) game started, there was a bomb threat. What was up with that? Anna Dorn: So, we were actu-
ally scouting. And we walk out of our scouting practice, and they told us there was a bomb threat. So we were just confused what was going on. We just kind of waited it out, got an extra two hours of sleep, which is always nice on game day, and watched the news and tried to figure out what was going on. It turned out to be nothing really.
ID: Did it affect you at all, Coach? Kevin Hambly: The only thing
that affected me was just trying to get all the pieces together to when we’re playing or where. There was all this specChicago Bulls and he’ll turn on the Illini when his kids tell him to (five of his seven children graduated from Illinois). My grandpa has not made it to an Illinois football game in years, as the long car ride followed by the uncomfortable seats don’t make for the most appealing experience. We still talk to him about all the games, of course. When I looked around at the crowd during last weekend’s football game, I saw quite a few elderly men donning their orange T-shirts and cheering loudly in what may have been the most subdued football game ever. I thought for a moment about how that was probably somebody else’s grandparent and how they would probably bond with their relatives after and describe the shutout victory. I can’t wait until I’m an old lady, talking about sports to anybody who will listen to me. Oh wait, I already do that. Because sports are timeless.

ulation about moving to a different college. ... It was an hour and 45 minutes of not knowing what’s going on. It wasn’t that bad.
ID: Coach (Jen) Olenberg came on last week and had the saying that stuck in my mind was, “(The Longhorns) recruit freaks.” Did that fit the bill for the team you faced on Friday night? KH: We all recruit freaks. ... We held them to less than .200 hitting. We did what we needed to do against them, and it was a lot of fun to see us respond.
ID: Anna, you hit .706 in that Texas match. Just talk about how you guys were able to put it all together and beat a team on their home court. AD: I think the biggest change
we made this weekend is that our passing and defense was incredible. For us hitters, a lot of what we are able to do is dependent on what our pass-
ers and setters are able to do. I think a lot of glory should go to them. We just were able to do what we did because of them.
ID: What did you tell your team after the Texas game to know that you had to play two games the next day? KH: It’s the same thing all the time. All of this is preparation for the Big Ten. We have to be good in winning two matches in a row in order to be competitive in the Big Ten. “Hey look, good job. Now onto the next (game).” That’s just how it is all the time. If you lose, it’s the same. “Get a few minutes. Deal with it because we’re playing tomorrow.” It’s a challenge, and it takes toughness. Our girls showed that because we played great against Central Florida at 9 o’clock in the morning.

White Sox up 3 games after victory over Tigers RICK GANO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Alex Rios went barreling into second base with a hard slide that teammate Gordon Beckham said might be the biggest play of the season for the White Sox as they try to win the AL Central. Rios was trying to break up a double play. When he went into Detroit second baseman Omar Infante, it caused an errant throw that allowed the tying and goahead runs to score Monday as the White Sox beat the Tigers 5-4 and went up three games in division. “That’s a situation where every second baseman knows we’re coming in hard. And it was a clean slide, and we took advantage of that,” Rios said. “We scored two runs on that play and ended up winning the game, so it was a big play.”
The game had been postponed by rain last Thursday, and Monday’s makeup was the fi nal meeting of the season between the two front runners in the division. Detroit won the season series 12-6 and captured nine of the fi nal 11 games between the teams, including two of three last week before the four-game series fi nale was postponed. Each team has 16 games remaining. Chicago heads to Kansas City and Anaheim to fi nish out this week while Detroit goes home to face the Athletics and Twins. “There is still a lot of time left for both teams. ... We just got to continue to grind and hope that what we do every day, day in and day out, is enough,” Beckham said. “This is probably still going to go down to the wire.”
