State pushes for police cameras Ferguson, Mo. events inspire legislation for less subjectivity BY JOSH WINTERS STAFF WRITERS

Illinois legislators are advocating for additional patrol cameras for law enforcement agencies by adding surcharge fees to traffic violations or guilty pleas for criminal offenses. An amendment to House Bill 3911 is currently pend-

ing in the House of Representatives. It would add a $6 surcharge fee to fund grants to law enforcement departments to purchase body cameras for their officers. The increase in revenue will also allocate funding to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board.

The bill has already established a grant program for agencies to receive vehicle cameras and the proposed amendment would add body cameras to the program. State Sen. Bill Haine, D-56, and State Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, D-92, introduced the amendment earlier this month and commented on the events in Ferguson, Missouri, in their remarks. “I hope that the tragic

recent events in Ferguson ... may serve as a catalyst to enact legislation that protects our brave police officers as much as it does the public,” Booth said in a press release. If the amendment to HB3911 were to pass, law enforcement agencies that received grants for body cameras would have to follow specific guidelines for their use. Police officers would

turn their cameras on when engaged with a member of the public and their agency would be required to store footage from the body cameras for a two-year period. This stored footage must be made available upon the request of the state’s attorney, or any officers or civilians that were recorded.

‘Mini home’ project kicks off BY ANGELICA LAVITO STAFF WRITER

Going from homeless to homeowner can seem unachievable. Restoration Urban Ministries is hoping to help make this change more achievable with the creation of “mini homes.” A groundbreaking ceremony, held on Sept. 10, marked the beginning of construction for Restoration Urban Ministries’s first mini home, a 400-square-foot affordable house for low-income persons. Restoration Urban Ministries also provides transitional housing for those who are struggling financially. Residents are given temporary food, shelter and childcare, along with services such as self-sufficiency classes and job counseling. Pastor Ervin Williams, executive director of Restoration Urban Ministries, said the mini home project could help encourage residents, “to be able to have something, to spark that drive to say ‘Look, this isn’t the end of the road. You can continue to progress and get better.’” Staff encourages transitional housing residents to search for permanent housing, which typically means a rental property. Williams said he has been exploring different ways to encourage residents to eventually pursue purchasing a home and started working on the mini home project nearly two years ago. Assistant Program Director Roscoe Brown and Williams have worked with a variety of people including groups from the University to develop the mini home project. “For the last couple of years that’s where we’ve been,” Williams said. “(We’re) really educating the community [and] getting this to the place where we could actually build these.” The city of Champaign was looking to sell two irregularly sized vacant lots around the

Columbia Law Professor Katherine Franke cancelled a speaking engagement at UI following the University’s decision against the appointment of Stephen Salaita. Franke attended a panel Thursday at an off-campus location to discuss the controversy.

Law prof. speaks on Salaita Off-campus panel focuses on academic freedom and dissent BY ANIKE OWOYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In the wake of the Board of Trustees’s decision against appointing Steven Salaita to a tenured position in the American Indian Studies program at the University, approximately 100 students, faculty and Urbana-Champaign community members attended a discussion led by Columbia Law Professor Katherine Franke. She was joined by a panel of University graduate students and professors to discuss academic freedom and political dissent surrounding the Salaita controversy. Less than one month ago, Franke sent a letter to Chancellor Phyllis Wise cancelling her prior speaking arrangements at the University. Franke relocated the discussion to

an off-campus location, the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, and traveled on her own expense. Franke said it was important to hold the discussion because she said she wanted to “stand with you (audience members) in outrage.” “For me to come after what had happened in the last month and, in a sense, validate an academic and intellectual community by giving speeches or lectures here seemed corrupt to me,” Franke said. Franke criticized Wise’s description of Salaita’s tweets, which Wise described as being uncivil. “Whatever else civility may be, it is not an academic norm,” Franke said. Franke went on to discuss the constitutionality of the

controversy and she said she believes Salaita would have an “easy case” if he followed through with a lawsuit against the University. “The constitutional protection of speech rights protects all speeches, even speech we might find odious or offensive,” Franke said. “The uncivil university is something to applaud, not condemn.” Each panel member discussed his or her viewpoints on the Salaita issue and how it has affected them, including Eman Ghanayam, graduate student in LAS. “He’s a Palestinian living in diaspora, still has relatives who are subjected to persecution in Palestine and his tweets commented on one of the most atrocious crimes of 2014, if not the 21st century, that resulted in the killing of almost 2,900 people,” Ghanayam said. During the presentation, Franke said President Robert

Easter, the Board of Trustees and Wise’s decision to not reinstate Salaita will lead to longer term implications. She said this decision will lead to making “people now wonder whether it’s a school to which they should apply as a student or as a faculty member.” Franke said that the problem with attempting to censure the University’s scholarship is that it does not give University students enough credit. “They can take it; they need to develop the critical skills to engage in arguments they disagree with or find offensive,” Franke said. During her lecture, Franke questioned how relevant faculty members’s extracurricular speech is in relation to their ability to perform and function well in the classroom. Erik S. McDuffie, professor of African-American Studies and member of the

Illinois Faculty for Freedom and Justice, said this case has “profoundly impacted segments of faculty and administration” and added that some departments have gone so far as to suspend job searches. McDuffie said the whole issue surrounding the Salaita case is “catastrophic” and reiterated that more than 16 departments have issued votes of no confidence in the chancellor. Erica Melko, graduate student in LAS, attended the event and said that academic freedom is vital to the University in order to “function and serve as active and vibrant.” Franke said it is important for students to demand a stimulating, diverse and intellectually cutting-edge faculty. “Students have to make noise,” Franke said.

As a part of September’s Hunger Action Month, the University’s Office of Volunteer Programs is organizing the 7th annual food drive, Cans Across the Quad, which will donate goods to the Eastern Illinois Food Bank. Cans Across the Quad, which takes place from Sept. 21 to Sept. 29, is a week-long event that encourages registered student organiza-

tions, RSOs, campus offices and individuals to donate canned goods to benefit the food bank and promote hunger awareness. “They distribute about 70 percent of the food that is used for agencies like food pantries and homeless shelters throughout 14 eastern Illinois counties,” said Lindsay Okazaki, staff member at the Office of Volunteer Programs and junior in LAS.

In order to promote awareness for the event, the office set different monetary awards for those who donate

Maple St. and 509 Alabama Ave., were too small for the city to use, Champaign donated the property to Restoration Urban Ministries. “Rather than have us mow them, maintain them or whatever, we will sell them off to someone who’s going to put them to good use,” Gerard said. Gerard has been working with Restoration Urban Ministries throughout the planning phase and said their passion is what led this project to completion. “Pastor Williams, Roscoe and everybody at Restoration and all of the people they work with really put in a lot of time and effort into this,” Gerard said. “They really believe in this, and their passion inspires me to keep momentum going from the city side.” According to the Restoration Urban Ministries’s website, mini homes will cost

A nationwide study titled “Hunger in America” revealed that the food bank and its agencies serve more than 116,000 people in Central Illinois each year, said Kristen Costello, development relations manager at the food bank. “That’s an unduplicated number, so we’re serving about a fifth of the population,” Costello said.

Obama did pledge $53 million in new aid, including $46 million in military aid and $7 million in humanitarian aid. The aid includes body armor, helmets, vehicles, nightand thermal-vision devices and, for the first time, counter-mortar radar equipment that can warn of incoming artillery fire. $27,000 with low monthly mortgage payments of $350 to $400 per month. For Williams, this marks a milestone in Restoration Urban Ministries’s housing programs. “They can have their name on a title and say ‘This is my home,’” Williams said. “It doesn’t matter about the size, but it’s about the ownership and feeling like you’re part of this.” Residents of Restoration Urban Ministries’ transitional housing program are required to help out around the facility. The mini homes will be constructed with the help of volunteers. Williams said they expect to complete the first house by Nov. 11, and hope to construct upwards of 40 mini homes sometime next year. Once the resident is moved in, Restoration Urban Ministries will continue to offer their services to help him or her adjust. “It’s one thing to put the person in the house,” Brown said. “It’s another thing to help him along the way, to help him understand what it means to have a house.”

According to Race, the Quad Shop in the Illini Union and I-57 in the Ikenberry Commons will run specials to encourage students and members of the campus community to contribute to the food drive. “Contributions from Cans Across the Quad can make a difference in so many lives. One meal can keep hope alive or help someone make it to their next paycheck,” said Okazaki. “I think we see the issue of hunger in the world and feel a sense of hopelessness, but what we don’t realize is how significant our contribution is to even that one person we helped feed.”

Due to a high volume of pedestrian traffic, the University is creating a new mid-block crosswalk on Sixth Street between the Business Instructional Facility and Wohlers Hall. The installation of the crosswalk begins Monday, Sept. 22 and should be completed in a few days, said Roland White, civil engineer for Facilities and Services. The permanence of the crosswalk depends on how it will perform related to the other nearby crossings at Gregory Drive, which is part of the traffic signal, and the

Taft Van Doren crosswalk, White said. “We decided to go with a trial installation first and see if it performed, and if it performs well, it would become a permanent installation,” White said, adding that he believes it will be in place until at least November. White said the factors that will be looked at during the trial run include if people are using it correctly, how motorists are interacting with it, the impact it has on traffic and if people feel safe using the crosswalk.

UI professor Tami Bond named MacArthur Fellow BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

Environmental engineering professor Tami Bond has been named a MacArthur Fellow for her work in black carbon emissions (soot) and its effect on climate change and human health. Each year, the MacArthur Foundation chooses 20 to 25 people to receive a scholarship, which is a $625,000 grant dispersed over five years. Nominations are anonymous, meaning Bond did not find out she was in the running until she received the call that she had won. “How they choose (winners) is kind of a mystery to everyone,” Bond said. “If you look at people who have received it, they’re very diverse in terms of what they focus on.” Other winners this year include a cartoonist, a civil

If the community felt that it was necessary or pertinent that officers wear those body cameras, we would certainly consider it.” Deputy Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Larry Smith said he believes making body cameras more accessible to police in Illinois could improve the relationship officers have with the public. “I think that there is a strong probability that the deployment of these body cameras on street officers will go a long ways to alleviating a lot of complaints against police officers and ... extreme or excessive use of force by officers,” Smith said. “These cameras will record what is happening from the officer’s point of view.” Smith said that if the proposed amendment were to pass, the board, which provides basic training curriculum for six police academies and 15 mobile in-service training units across the state, would likely make curriculum for the new cameras available for their trainees.

In a recent survey by the Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services, 75 percent of the participating departments said they did not use body cameras. Frost said that while the University Police Department already has modern patrol car cameras and has reviewed the technology of body cameras, they do not currently use them in the field. The department does record audio and video during all of their traffic stops. “We are very well-supported by the University, but at the same time if we tried to put a body camera on every single sworn officer we had, that would be a pretty sizable price tag,” said Frost. “Right now, we’re just not in a position to do that.” If the amendment to HB3911 passes and body cameras are made more readily available to Illinois law enforcement, Frost said that he would expect UIPD to talk about applying for a grant for the equipment. “Certainly we would consider it, but we have to make sure the product is going to suit our needs and is going to be well received by the community as well,” said Frost.

Afghanistan presidential rivals reach unity government deal after recount KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s presidential rivals reached a deal Friday to form a unity government but remained divided over the results of a contentious runoff election, sources with knowledge of the talks said. Terms of the agreement, reached after weeks of difficult negotiations, were not immediately disclosed. Until hours before the agreement, the candidates, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Abdullah Abdullah, were tussling over the powers to be held by the new post of chief execu-

tive, created after U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry held talks with the rivals in Kabul this summer. But aides to both Ghani Ahmadzai and Abdullah, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive talks, said the two sides had not agreed on the results of a United Nations-supervised recount of all 8 million ballots cast in a June runoff, which was initiated after Abdullah alleged widespread fraud. The runoff followed a presidential election in April.

White House launches new campus campaign against sexual assault WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Friday launched a new public awareness campaign at campuses across America to prevent sexual assaults. Called “It’s on Us,” the new campaign will try to get students and others on college and university campus-

es to play a part in trying to stop sexual violence before it happens. A new public service announcement aired for the first time on Friday. Advocates say many rapes are not reported, and that on campuses the assaults most often occur during women’s first two years at college by someone they know.

FDA to revise food safety legislation amid nationwide farmer backlash The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it would revise a landmark food safety law because of widespread complaints from farmers that some provisions were too burdensome. The agency is proposing relaxing some oversight

on irrigation water, allowing easier application of raw manure and exempting small farms from produce safety rules. It’s also eliminating a proposal that would have made it more difficult for brewers and distillers to give their spent grains to farmers for animal feed.

Police body cams may promote better interactions

T

he relationship between citizens and cops has not always been a good one, especially as of late. In national news, we have seen the case of Ferguson, Missouri, in which many people are still rightfully upset and debating what actually transpired between teenager Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson, when Brown was shot and killed. Closer to home in Champaign-Urbana, we saw a situation of a lesser magnitude last April that involved an Illinois basketball player, Darius Paul, who was arrested for resisting a police officer and underage consumption of alcohol. But the details of the crime seemed a tad unclear to us due to the fact that Paul was initially addressed by police because of the time of night, and some others questioned the fairness of his arrest. These are only two examples of something that transpires far too often in our country — a classic case of he-said, she-said between citizens and police officers. However, if police officers in the state of Illinois wear body cameras, we believe that some of these murky encounters between police officers and community members can be avoided. Two state lawmakers, Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, D-Peoria, and Sen. William Haine, D-Alton, are looking to raise money for police body cams, which they believe will limit some of the questions and confusion that arise with some of the encounters with citizens. This is something we support. The two lawmakers are pushing for an amendment to a bill that would add “a $6 surcharge to fines for traffic offenses and for convictions or guilty pleas for criminal offenses�, which would rake in an estimated $5 million to $6 million, some of which would be used for grants for police cameras. We believe these body cams would be immensely beneficial because they would provide a way to hold police officers more accountable for their actions and hopefully promote stronger and safer interactions between police officers and citizens. At the same time, these cameras would provide clear proof of any in-question exchange between a community member and an officer which, ideally, would allow for cases to get settled more efficiently with fewer questions left unanswered. A letter from the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum indicates that departments that have already implemented these body cams say the presence of the camera often improves the performance of the cop as well as the recorded community member, which we assuredly approve of. There are certainly concerns over citizens’ privacy, which have been outlined in the amended bill, and not everyone believes these body cams are ideal. Additionally, the usage of these cameras would need to be monitored in different ways. However, they have proved necessary, particularly in the last several years, to restore trust and order between those who are supposed to be protecting us and those who do not feel protected.

WHERE THE FANS AT?

IT’S ON US

While our Illini football team beat Texas State this weekend with a final score of 42-35, the win did not come without a rough beginning and an even rougher weather delay. After a rainstorm rolled through and delayed the game for nearly two hours, the returning crowd was not in full force, even after fans were allowed back into the game for free, with or without a ticket. Unfortunately, that generous offer didn’t lead to a full Memorial Stadium swimming with Illini orange. Whether the weak crowd was a result of weather conditions or a bout of frustration over the team’s first half performance, we hope to never see a crowd like that again.

President Obama kicked off the “It’s On Us� campaign Friday at the White House. Finally. The campaign, which aims to change the culture surrounding sexual assault on college campuses, is designed to emphasize the role people play in ceasing and preventing campus violence. It seems like every group reports the number of those who have suffered assault differently. Regardless of what the current number of those who have been assaulted is, we can and should reduce it. Education should never cost one his or her safety.

DRUG ALLEGATIONS FOR UW-M TKES

SAY CHEESE

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s campus was suspended on an interim basis on Thursday pending investigations that its members were giving female students date rape drugs at one of its parties. Even more despicably, the alleged drugging seemed to have been systematic. Upon entrance, men were given black marks on their hand, while select females were given red. Multiple women who attended the party and were given red marks required assistance, as did a man who drank from a female who had been given a red X’s cup.

The celebrity photo scandal continues with Vanessa Hudgens, Kim Kardashian and Avril Lavigne among the new targets. These ladies, along with a few other celebs, had their nude or racy photos leaked on Reddit and Twitter on Saturday. This is after the scandal earlier this month where several other female celebrities, such as Jennifer Lawrence, had their nude photos leaked as well. While we feel for these ladies and the invasive nature of these incidences, it just goes to show you can’t always trust technology!

What Scotland taught me about independence BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

I

t’s very rare and exciting event when a nation votes for independence. Early on Friday morning (or late on Thursday night, if you’re like me), Anglophiles all over the world waited with bated breath to see if Scotland would join the ranks of nations to secede from the Queen’s rule. Of course, once the polls were closed and the results were tallied, Scotland had voted against independence from the United Kingdom — a decision that was probably for the best, though I don’t purport to be an expert on politics across the pond. While Scotland may not have been able to achieve independence as a nation this time around (rejected for the third time since 1979), my visit to the country taught me more than I’d ever known about being personally independent. Last year, I got to spend six months in London studying Classics. My university was rigorous, and adjusting to English culture and the different higher education system certainly added to its difficulty. One week, when I had a surplus

of free time and was procrastinating addressing a stressful exam schedule, I decided to buy a ticket to Scotland. I had visions of Harry Potteresque mountains and fields, and when I set out for the Highlands (what the Scottish call “mountains�) the next day at 5:30 a.m. I was definitely not disappointed. I think Scotland is one of the best nations in the world. It’s beautiful and majestic, it offers free education to all of its citizens, and Braveheart was filmed there. Sure, it’s really gray and rains all the time, but even that can be endearing after one spends a little time in the Highlands. Sometimes you just need to see nature, and Scotland provided a fantastic break from the frenetic facets of London city life. Over the next five days, I spent my time walking 96 miles through the Highlands. Initially, it was exhausting and daunting — I was completely alone, and as if the experience of studying abroad wasn’t scary enough, this was extreme solitude in a very remote part of the United Kingdom. I walked through countless hours of rain, encountered more sheep than people and, most importantly, learned more about myself than I ever knew was possible. I know that’s a cliche, but

until one experiences it, it’s hard to really grasp how legitimate that self-awareness is. I didn’t think I would come out alive, but I wanted to take this walk by myself just to say that I could. At first, I was only going to hike ten miles and turn back. Ten became twenty, twenty became forty, and before I knew it, I had made it from the Highlands to Glasgow, all by myself. Even better than this, however, I returned to London with a calmer mind-set than I’d previously had, and found the transition to English culture from then on even easier because I was more confident in myself. Now that I’m back in the United States, I don’t have a Scotland to retreat to. I can’t go to the mountains and hike for days on end without any repercussions and, most importantly, I no longer see sheep on a regular basis. With that being said, however, one explicit thing my experience in Scotland taught me is the importance of solitary time to relax, which is valuable for everyone, especially students. With midterms looming, I’m sure many students here at the University could use some time to focus, but feel suffocated by academic and extracurricular commitments. I’m not an expert on Scottish politics, and I’m also not a professional

advice-giver, but I can almost guarantee that if students took more time to focus and gather their thoughts separate from other people and other commitments, nearly everyone would be better off. I don’t mean to sound like your mom, who thinks you spend too much time on your phone when you’re home visiting, or your professor, who thinks you should hit the library instead of KAMs before an exam, but detaching from the hectic pace of our contemporary college environment is valuable. Whether it be school, clubs or even social interaction, detaching from responsibility truly allows us to learn more about ourselves, and in turn, have more confidence in everything that we do. Nothing can really compare to halting studying for exams to take a train up to the Highlands; I can’t do that any more. What I, and all of us, can do, however, is go on a walk on the beautiful brick-paved streets of Urbana and conveniently forget our phones at home, perhaps catching at least a hint of what it feels like to relax and focus. I guess that’s kind of the same thing, right?

Emergency preparation should be mandatory for students EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

If

you read my column last week, you met my roommate, Molly. While I could tell you facts I knew about her before we moved in together, I found out the most important thing about her last Tuesday. She can’t swallow pills any bigger than jellybeans. Like I said, I didn’t know this last Tuesday when I was about to leave for my class. I thought she was joking when she hurdled down our stairs, motioning to her reddening face after taking an antibiotic. Before I knew it, I was giving the Heimlich maneuver for the first time in my life, not sure what to do. I was absolutely terrified — and I wasn’t even the one who was choking. Lucky for us, our other roommate is CPRcertified, and Molly ended up perfectly fine — albeit late for class with a sore throat. That morning, I realized the importance of knowing how to immediately respond to emergencies, as well as how little many students, myself included, know about acting in dire situations. There are several aspects of emergency preparedness that many students aren’t exposed to until they need to act, which can be too late. If an emergency occurs and we don’t know how

to respond, it can be a life or death situation. There are many catastrophes that occur daily, from natural disasters to health emergencies and crime. It’s absurd that the only time our professors “prepare� us for these events is a PowerPoint slide or a sentence during syllabus week to get the precautions out of the way about which exit to use during a fire. And even that does not always happen. Students can register to be apart of the Illini Emergency Medical Services, which certifies students as emergency medical technicians to learn these necessary skills, but we could use something tailored toward the average student with more versatility in its lessons. One way to solve emergency ignorance is creating a first semester seminar mandatory for incoming freshmen spanning a variety of topics. Here are lessons that could, and should, be covered:

1. The Heimlich maneuver and seizure response:

You don’t have to be certified to administer the Heimlich maneuver, which is a fairly simple thrust. However, there are important things that the person giving the Heimlich might not be aware of that they should be doing, such as telling the choker to keep coughing. Also, after news of a student having a seizure in a class this year exploded on Yik-Yak,

people expressed concern over proper care. Knowing what to do when someone seizes in front of you is also critical (holding the head or neck is a big no-no).

2. “Run, Fight or Hide�:

I know of many classes this semester in which professors explained what these steps were, but personally, my professors joked about the components. Professors joking over the seriousness of “Run, Fight, or Hide� as a response to a potential shooting doesn’t prepare us for if we ever have to face that situation. It teaches students that it isn’t a serious concern. This lesson should be spread in a serious environment, alleviating professor responsibility to spread one consistent and safe message.

3. School shooting preparation:

This piggybacks on “Run, Fight or Hide,� but begs a more specialized focus. Many of us went through lockdown drills in high school but this beast takes on a whole new meaning on a scattered campus. Shootings and other forms of violence happen too frequently for us to not be informed of what we should do. Procedures might switch whether we’re in a housing unit, classroom, outdoors or a communal campus area like the Union. It’s crucial for us to be prepared in all of those arenas of campus.

4.Fire safety:

This might sound redundant

as most of us learned stop, drop and roll techniques in elementary school. But if knowing this three step children’s rule is the extent of your ability to react to a fire, then there’s a lot you’re missing — especially since this method only works if your clothing is on fire. This safety seminar can encompass knowledge on what to do depending on your surroundings, seeing as fires in housing units are most common between 5-11 p.m. and on weekends, which are times that tend to be highly concentrated with people. These guidelines should be expanded to teach a variety of emergency skills. They don’t include everything we need to know, but this is a safe place for the University to start. Being oblivious when Molly choked was one of the most unsettling feelings I’ve experienced. As serious as choking is, I can’t even fathom how petrified students would feel in the case of a fire or shooting, which we seem to be less prepared for. By a lucky guess, we saved Molly — but not everyone is this fortunate. All of us would rather be safe than sorry, especially when “sorry� can end lives, so let’s keep our students safe, no matter what hands they’re in.

Supporters of the Books to Prisoners charity gather in downtown Urbana’s Independent Media Center for a dinner. The group services 27 prisons and federal institutions in the state.

Book charity celebrates 10-year goal, reaching 100,000 books donated BY BRITTNEY NADLER STAFF WRITER

Urba na - Ch a mpa ig n Books to Prisoners, a nonprofit organization dedicated to shipping books to inmates, will have sent 100,000 books by the end of the year. “It’s not even the middle of September, and we’ve already shipped 99,000 books before the dinner even happened, so we’re really excited about that,” said Lolita Dumas, volunteer supervisor for the organization. In celebration of the 10-year goal, the organization hosted a dinner at the Independent Media Center in Urbana on Saturday for the public as a way of thanking the community and past, present and future volunteers, Dumas said. The group services 27 prisons and federal institutions throughout the state and also checks out books at the Champaign County Jail. Only about 15 of

ZONDR hours each day. In order to get the statistics from the bars, the Zondr team goes out each night and surveys the bars to give users the female-to-male ratio and other features of the app. Overall, the Zondr team has over 20 people that contribute to either their marketing, operations or development teams. Maguire said he agrees with Naso that it is a great feeling to see hard work pay off. “ It’s been motiva tiona l to see crosscampus(reactions),” Maguire said. “Everyone knows about it. ... Being able to see something you’ve been a part of motivates you to keep it going and to stick with it.” Zhao said he knows that Zondr is not a conventional name. The name stems from the word “sonder,” accord-

these institutions have libraries of their own. “We’ll ask them, ‘Hey, have you read this book?’ or, ‘I heard this book was really good,’ ” Dumas said. “Or, ‘Hey, one of your books is missing pages!’ ” Inmates also send in poems and artwork that the organization displays. Todd Nickelson has been volunteering for Books to Prisoners for five years and said he is happy to be involved in such a good program. “I think this fills a pretty necessary void,” he said. “It provides a really valuable service and there’s nothing else that replicates it.” Nickelson has received requests for a variety of books, such as books written in Polish. He said sometimes they have exactly what the inmate is looking for while other requests can be trickier to fulfill. Luis Postlewaite has been with the group for seven months and was once on the other end of the bargain.

“I was in the department of correction at one time, and I needed something to read,” he said. “It’s a good program ... I’m looking forward to 10 years of doing this.” Postlewaite used to request math books and dictionaries in order to study for the GED. For now, Books to Prisoners is looking forward to its fall book sale, co-sponsored by the literacy organization Altrusa, on Oct. 25 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Independent Media Center, Dumas said. Books are donated by the community and will cost 50 cents for paperback and $1 for hardback. “They enjoy it,” Dumas said of the inmates. “Every other letter, there’s someone thanking us for being here, so we appreciate that. We just want to continue to be able to do what we do.”

ing to Zhao, which means the realization that everyone on the planet has different lives and that their lives connect with your own . “Zondr connects people in ways people can’t without smartphones. It’s one of the first ways to do that on campus,” Zhao said. Chris Norton, general manager of Brother’s, said he supports the Zondr app and team, but was skeptical at first when Zhao approached him about being a part of the app. “I was a little skeptical. But even just the first night (it launched) I saw how it made people get out of their comfort zones and go to bars they don’t go to normally,” he said. Norton said he also appreci ates the app because it makes going out more predictable and consistent. While the app has made students all over campus check their phones each night before they go out,

the team said it is still looking to improve the app for the future. “We’re constantly brainstorming and adding new features. We want to enhance social life and connect students,” Zhao said. Naso explained that the team can put in up to seven hours of brainstorming into one day. “We’d love users to tell us what they want, besides wanting to know how long the Chipotle line is,” Naso said jokingly. Zhao’s goals are for other bars outside of campus to start using Zondr. He also said they are considering the possibility of developing new apps. When it comes down to what the team wants out of Zondr, Maguire summed it up with one sentence. “We want it on everyone’s phone.”

Entrepreneurship dropping steadily for over three decades For years, Christina Marshall was convinced she would start her own company. She studied entrepreneurship with the hope of launching a clothing company for fullfigured women. But after graduating two years ago, the 31-year-old chose a more conventional career as a brand manager at Kraft Foods in Chicago. The image of the U.S. as a country bursting with entrepreneurial zeal, it turns out, is more myth than reality. In truth, the rate at which new companies are being formed has fallen steadily for more than three decades. The number of startups has fallen nearly 28 percent from 1977 to 2011, according to the Census Bureau. By other measures — as a share of all businesses or relative to the size of the working-age population — it has fallen in half. Many factors appear to be contributing to the trend, including increased risk aversion among workers, shifts in government regulation and a consolidation in corporate America that has left many industries dominated by a handful of behemoths. Some experts said the picture isn’t as bleak as the numbers suggest. Enrollment in college entrepreneurship programs is strong, and some surveys show many millennials plan to start businesses eventually. Marshall, for one, still dreams of starting a business, but probably when she can meet such challenges as the upfront costs and the need to support her family. The prime age for entrepreneurship is late 30s to early 40s, suggesting that a burst of activity may lie ahead as the huge millennial generation reaches that age range. For baby boomers, business formation has accelerated. People ages 55 to 64 start-

Navigating nightlife PORTRAIT BY FOLAKE OSIBODU

Zondr app simplifies bar scene, grows in popularity BY MARA SHAPIRO STAFF WRITER

A variety of venues make up campus nightlife in Champaign-Urbana. From beer gardens to the sticky floors of KAM’S, there are numerous ways for students to unwind after another school week. But within three weeks

of its launch, some students have begun to welcome a new app, Zondr, to their phones’ home screens. Approximately 15 percent of University students use the app on their smartphones, according to Mike Maguire, one of the developers of the app and senior in Engineering. Bar goers know that each bar brings with it a unique feel and could be a hit or miss, depending on the night, said John Zhao, founder of Zondr and alumni in Engineering. Zhao said he knew the hit or miss feeling all too well

when he was an undergrad last year. “It started based off of frustrations (with) bars. We’d go to Brother’s and the line would be huge, or we’d pay cover and see no one’s inside. We either wasted money or time. The bars weren’t as fun as they could be and we thought ‘there should be an app for that,’ and (we) then started development last year.� Along with Kirk Wells, senior in Business, Zhao developed the newly established app. Zondr is a free, downloadable app that keeps

students updated on the bars’ activity each night. The app’s features include cover prices, how full the bars are to capacity, bar specials and female-tomale ratios. Based off of Wells and Zhao’s knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, they came up with a rough design of the app, and then searched for Android and iOS developers to assist in the process of making it. The two students began planning out Zondr during the fall semester of 2013 and fi nished the photoshopped design over the

summer. At the start of the semester, Wells and Zhao recruited more members for their team and launched the app. Besides Zhao and Wells, the team’s developers are Maguire, Charlie Naso, senior in Media, and Brody Schofield, sophomore in Engineering, all of whom joined at the beginning of the school year. Zhao said while he knew Schofi eld from his engineering fraternity, Sigma Phi Delta, he put out the word for applying to be a part of the team through social media as well as

through the app. Naso said he is impressed with the app’s success so far, as it has become relatively popular on campus in its three short weeks here. “We’re not really pushing it right now. It spreads like fi re,� he said. “Friends show friends. It’s a cool feeling to see how successful it is. The sky’s the limit when I see that on the streets every night.� The team uses Google Analytics to gauge how many people use the app per day and for how many

Self defense: plans and strategies to avoid danger and stay protected on UI campus BY TAYLOR LUCERO STAFF WRITER

With a campus of more than 43,000 students, the number of reported crimes are higher on campus compared to offcampus locations, according to the most recent Division of Public Safety’s Annual Security Report. Whether walking out alone at night or facing a threatening person, students on campus can use preventative action to avoid potentially dangerous situations. When an emergency cannot be prevented, self-defense techniques can be used as a last resort.

Taylor can be reached at tlucero2@ dailyillini.com.

Pepper Spray Use According to Robert Murphy, University police detective, items like pepper spray have both benefi ts and disadvantages. Murphy recalled a night when he was accidently sprayed with pepper spray. Along with his sergeant, Murphy was pursuing and closing in on a suspect, but the sergeant used pepper spray and hit both Murphy and the suspect. “It worked instantly on me,� he said. “The bad guy got in his car and drove away, and we caught him a couple blocks down the road

Sergeant William Smoot recommends:

Preventative Defense

Instead, it gives the person usi ng it the opportunity to escape.

Murphy said that pepper

Rachael Ahart, University police officer, said that out of the government programs available to learn about these situations, “Run>Hide>Fight� is one of the top programs for students.

One such advantage is that there are pepper spray’s available that have a band, allowing people to hold it in their hands while walking and making the weapon face the right direction. However, Murphy said the person using it may still feel effects of the spray his or herself. He s a id he a lso recommended pepper spray that cannot accidently be pressed if in a backpack or purse and includes a piece on top that allows people holding it to know where to place their fi ngers.

“When it comes to an educational standpoint, I think a lot of people, because of television, they kind of think that they need a weapon to get away from somebody,� said Joan Fiesta, University police sergeant. Fiesta said the Division of Public Safety provides self-defense classes, which discuss the importance of awareness. Awareness, according to Fiesta, provides a person with the ability to avoid possibly threatening situations. “(A)wareness is about 90 percent of self defense,� she said. The Division of Public Safety offers a self-

defense class for both men and women, called R.A.D, standing for Rape Aggression Defense system. Fiesta said the women’s class, “Rape Aggression Defense,� teaches preventative skills like how to avoid places where a crime may likely be committed, verbal defense and techniques to increase motor skills. The men’s class, “Resisting Aggression with Defense,� teaches men techniques like defending themselves without needing to fight through body language, avoiding aggressive situations and other skills like blocking and stopping tackles.

For those who choose to fight, Ahart said that

a person can get close to the doorway to disarm or attack the shooter when he enters the room. Some recommended weapons from the Division’s “Run>Hide>Fight� video include belts, glass bottles, hot coffee, scissors, pens, chairs and fire extinguishers. “Act ive sho oters, unfortunately, are not likely to stop shooting until they’re either out of targets or out of ammo, and generally speaking, they don’t run out of ammo,� Ahart said.

This makes the suspect aware that the person could identify them if needed. “If you’re a criminal and you’re trying to steal something from somebody, the best victim is one who doesn’t even realize you’re in the zip code,� Smoot said. However, students may become the victim of crimes of a different type. For other crime prevention, Smoot said situations like theft can be avoided by something as simple as keeping doors locked at all times.

Team takes over after two-hour weather delay BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Illinois’ Jihad Ward (17) sacks Tyler Jones during the game against Texas State on Saturday. The Illini fell short the first half with a score of 21-13 but came back stronger in the second half to win 42-35.

Illini scrape another win BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

In three plays, the Illini football team began to save itself from a devastating loss to Texas State on Saturday. It was a dark first half for Illinois (3-1), which allowed nearly 300 total yards on defense. The Bobcats took a score of 21-13 into the half after the Illini allowed eight Texas State third down conversions and 17 first downs. The team’s dismal performance in the first half lasted even longer than the Illini hoped after a lightning delay stopped the game for nearly two hours. “It wasn’t pretty,� head coach Tim Beckman said. “I’m getting a lot of gray hairs playing these games.� But the storm cleared, the second half began, and Illinois made another secondhalf comeback to win 42-35 and finish nonconference play with three victories.

It started with a sack. Illinois’ defensive line was one of the few bright spots for the defense Saturday. The Illini defense allowed Bobcats quarterback Tyler Jones 336 yards through the air for four touchdowns. “They have a unique offense,� Illini defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “Their quarterback is a really good player and their running back was probably a little bit better than we anticipated.� Texas State running back Robert Lowe had 117 rushing yards on 26 attempts. The Illini trailed 21-13 and Texas State was faced with another third down early in the second half when Illinois linemen Jihad Ward and Austin Teitsma sacked Jones for a 10-yard loss, forcing a Texas State punt. It was Illinois’ fourth sack of the day. And the most important for the team’s momentum starting

the second half. “(The sacks) were big,� Teitsma said. “That’s something we’ve been wanting to work on, especially since last year.�

in the first half. “We weren’t doing the things we were practicing,� Lunt said. “We just kind of regrouped and got back together.�

Then came the return.

Ferguson’s touchdown.

Illini returner V’Angelo Bentley has been looking to make a big play on special teams all season. While his fourth quarter interception return for a touchdown might be his best moment from Saturday, his return game made a large impact after the sack. When a 54-yard punt landed in Bentley’s arms, he immediately split the Bobcats coverage, returned the punt 40 yards and gave Illinois the momentum. The return set up the Illini offense on the Bobcats’ 33-yard line, giving Illini quarterback Wes Lunt an opportunity to make his first impact through the air — he had just six completions on 12 passing attempts

The Illini running backs accounted for four touchdowns Saturday (three rushing, one receiving), but Ferguson’s 33-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter awakened the Illini. “That brought us back into the game,� Ferguson said. “We weren’t playing up to par after the first touchdown and we came out and fixed it.� Lunt’s performance came late. The Illini sophomore completed 25 passes for 266 yards in the game, but had just three yards on two completions before the weather delay. “It was frustrating,� offen-

The Illinois football team didn’t go into the locker room during Saturday’s weather delay and immediately begin talking over what was going wrong. Players and coaches didn’t head over to the indoor facility next door and start going over plays. Instead, the team turned up the music, watched some football and maintained the relaxation that would carry Illinois to a 42-35 win over Texas State. According to head coach Tim Beckman, the team used most of the break as downtime. It was only in the last 30 minutes that the team finally re-gathered and talked about adjustments. “It’s frustrating, but I think it’s the best thing that could have happened to us,� said quarterback Wes Lunt, who experienced a similar situation when he played at

Oklahoma State. “We went over all the stuff on how we’re beating ourselves, we weren’t doing the things we’ve been practicing. Just regrouped and got back together.� As thunderstorms moved into the area, the delay evacuated Memorial Stadium and kept it empty for almost two hours. At 3:55 p.m., lightning postponed the game. Team members headed to the locker rooms, while fans were told to seek shelter and consequently crowded the halls beneath the stands. At 5:50 p.m., players finally ran back onto the field, greeted by an empty stadium and fireworks. Fans followed, slowly trickling back into the stands. The game went on. After that weather delay, Illinois put 36 points on the board. Before the weather delay, Illinois had only 93 total offensive yards, including Josh Ferguson’s opening 75-yard touchdown. But the Illini would go on to grab

hat a weird day. The game itself wasn’t so odd, but a onehour, 56-minute weather delay Saturday made Illinois’ game with Texas State feel like something of a spectacle. Rather than watching Illini football struggle to overcome a lesser opponent, we got to watch Illini football struggle to overcome a lesser opponent with a lightning show halfway through it. Illinois massively underperformed in the first quarter. Then the game was delayed by lightening at the 13:35 mark of the second quarter. The Illini trailed Texas State 14-6 at the time and — other than a 75-yard touchdown run from Josh

Ferguson — had done next to nothing offensively. As rain poured onto the turf at Memorial Stadium, I wondered how the Illini would react. What does a football player do during a nearly two-hour rain delay? This isn’t baseball, where this sort of thing happens much more frequently. During the delay, I ate pretzels and tweeted about the rain, but I didn’t have to stay loose for a football game. Head coach Tim Beckman said he put a plan in place a few weeks ago. His orders: turn on the TV, turn up the music and relax. Nose tackle Austin Teitsma said he flipped on the Alabama’s game against Florida and hung out with his teammates. The two-hour ordeal didn’t feel nearly that long for the players. “That’s how long it was?� cornerback V’Angelo Bent-

ley said after the game. It felt long to me and I’m sure it did for all the fans who went running for cover as the downpour fell. But for Illinois, it was almost like an early halftime. The Illini have been significantly better in the second half of games than in the first half. Saturday’s weather delay might have confused the players into thinking it was the second half. I would say Illinois responded well. Texas State added another score after the delay, but the Illinois offense responded with a quick touchdown drive just before the half. The second half was far from pretty, but Beckman’s team held on for the 42-35 win. It’s hard to know what to make of Illinois’ 3-1 record. The Illini are halfway to a bowl game, but it has not

Illini volleyball wins 3-for-3 at Creighton Classic BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER

In the final test before the grind of Big Ten play begins, the Illinois volleyball team closed out the nonconference season on a high note. While the Illini had dips in energy this weekend at the Creighton Classic, they were still able to get results. The Illini (8-3) completed their second perfect weekend of the season with three consecutive victories to take home the Creighton Classic title. Freshman libero Brandi Donnelly was named tournament MVP, while Liz McMahon and Katie Stadick were each named to the AllTournament team. Donnelly had 59 digs and just three errors when receiving serves over the weekend. “I think she was the most consistent of everybody,� head coach Kevin Hambly said. “She didn’t have a poor match in any of them.� McMahon was second on the team with 33 kills on the weekend, hitting .256 overall. Stadick had a career day against Colorado on Saturday morning. The sophomore posted new career-highs

in kills, total blocks and attempts, with 20 attempts and eight each of kills and total blocks. “It’s cool to see her get a lot of opportunities offensively,� McMahon said. “Lately, teams have been committing and trapping the middles so they haven’t been able to get a lot offensively, but this weekend the setters did a good job of getting to them.� Matches against Creighton and Colorado were both four-set affairs, something Illinois hadn’t yet experienced this season. Coming into the weekend, the Illini were 5-1 in three-set matches and 0-2 in five sets. Against the Buffs and Bluejays, the Illini quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead before dropping the third set. Prior to this weekend, Illinois had experienced a letdown against Virginia Tech, where they led with a chance to close out the match only to lose in five sets. “I wouldn’t make a big issue of it until we don’t finish it,� Hambly said. “I think the girls are working through what they need to do during the break. That’s part of the learning process,

every team is different.� McMahon thought it was important to show the team could come back after a lull in performance and earn a victory, not once, but twice. “We kind of backed off a little bit,� the senior said. “It was really good to see us (close it out). They were coming at us pretty hard Friday night and it was a tough fourth set. “It was good to see us put away a team in four and not have it extend to five.� It was a battle of undefeated teams on the weekend in the finale when Illinois faced South Dakota. There would be no third set letdown in this one, however. The Illini were able to pull out a 25-22 win in the third set to complete the weekend sweep. “They’re legit. I thought they were the toughest team to close out,� Hambly said. “They weren’t afraid of us or anybody. I thought we did a good job overcoming their push and winning the set.�

The Illini running back had 190 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including a 75-yard touchdown run to open the game.

Illinois’ starting kicker missed a PAT after the first Illini touchdown, leading to head coach Tim Beckman pulling him from the game. Zalewski was just one-for-three on field goal attempts heading into the game.

sive coordinator Bill Cubit said. “I think Wes handles himself really well when it’s not going well. All of the sudden he just got in rhythm.” Cubit said it was refreshing to see Illinois’ rushing have a break-out game with 219 yards. Illinois’ offense had yet to rush for more than 100 yards in a game this season. Illinois will now head into Big Ten play with a 3-1 record, facing No. 21 Nebraska on Saturday, but Beckman is concerned with the team’s performance during the nonconference schedule — forcing the team to make three fourth quarter comebacks in their three wins thus far. “We’re still making too many mistakes to be successful,” Beckman said. “We have to play four quarters of football.”

Beckman told media after the game that his players “weren’t as excited as they should be after a W.” I don’t know if I would be all that excited after a come-from-behind victory over Texas State either. Yes, a win is a win. But, at some point you want make a statement. I’m not sure what type of message Illinois’ three wins have sent. Without sparks from Bentley and Ferguson, I don’t know that Illinois would have won this game. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing if players aren’t excited after a win. That at least shows that they want more, they want to make a statement. They should want to make a statement and Illinois will have plenty of chances to do so in the coming weeks. So maybe the weather delay was a good thing, but Illinois isn’t going to get two halftimes to regroup every game.

Illinois soccer shuts out Indiana, Purdue Janelle Flaws carries Illini with all five goals of the weekend BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER

in school history. “I think Janelle had a couple chances early in the game that she’d like to have back again and finish those but the thing about a goalscorer is that they just keep at it, they just keep going,� Rayfield said. “They know that the next opportunity they may get might be

the one that they score. You like that mentality in a goal-scorer.� Illinois faces Ohio State and Purdue this upcoming weekend as they continue their Big Ten stretch of games.

Men’s golf wins for second consecutive weekend Illini win team competition at Wolf Run for fifth consecutive year

Field Country Club Fighting Illini Invitational. “We came to play. I’m very proud of the team for that,� head coach Mike Small said. “Sometimes after a big national win like (last week), you have a letdown, and there was no letdown this week. “Our leadership was very good. Our veteran players really showed up, and I commend them.� The Illini fi nished 30 strokes ahead of second-place Florida. Senior Brian Campbell took the individual top spot at 4-under-par, while juniors Charlie Danielson (1-under) and Thomas Detry (5-over) were not far behind in second and fourth places. “Brian, Charlie and Thomas all came to play,� said Small. “They

The Illini men’s golf team added to a five-year win streak at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate this weekend, securing top fi nishes on both the team and individual leaderboards. The tournament was hosted by Wolf Run Golf Club in Zionsville, Indiana. This was the team’s second consecutive win for Illinois after last weekend’s fi rst-place fi nish at the Olympia

again,� Small said. “You can’t live in the past, and you can’t think about the future. You have to take care of what you’re doing now, and that’s what these boys showed us.� Play was halted during the second round Saturday due to inclement weather conditions. Play resumed Sunday morning with the Illini leading the fi eld by 10 strokes. “I don’t think the delay did too much,� Campbell said. “I just tried to stay focused on every shot I had. I think it was a nice break. “I just got myself refocused to get going on Sunday.� Campbell credits experience for the team’s success on the Wolf Run course. “I think we just know the course very well and we are very good

at playing when it is diffi cult conditions,� he said. “Especially this week, it was very windy and we tailored our games to deal with that, face adversity and embrace it.� The Fighting Illini’s next meet is the Sagamore Preview on Oct. 13 and 14 in Indianapolis. “(A win there) will only add to the momentum that (the team) has built during the fi rst two tournaments,� Campbell said. “That will hopefully carry on throughout the season and allow us to keep getting better until the end of the season when it really matters.�

Winston’s ban has no future impact Winning trumps justice for celeb athletes in NCAA SPENCER BROWN Sports columnist

F KEVIN VONGNAPHONE THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Jared Hiltzik hits the ball back during the second round of NCAA Tennis Regionals. The Illini finished 14-7 this weekend at the Olympia Fields Country Club Fighting Illini Invite. Hiltzik ended the weekend with a 3-1 record.

Illini finish 14-7 at weekend invite Despite strong outcome, team focuses on improving performance BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

The Illinois men’s tennis team put together a 14-7 record as they co-hosted the Olympia Fields Country Club Fighting Illini Invite in Olympia Fields, Illinois for the eighth consecutive year. Four players competed for the Illini: Jared Hiltzik and freshman Aleks Vukic played their second meets of the fall, Tim Kopinski made his season debut, and freshman Toshiki Matsuya competed for the first time as an Illini. It was an early season meet for everyone and head coach Brad Dancer said there’s still work to be done. “We didn’t string a whole day together where everybody played great,” Dancer said. “We looked a little bit rusty to be honest, I thought some things were just not as sharp as I’d like.” Hiltzik entered the tournament as the preseason No. 6 player in the country. After competing at the American Collegiate Invite at the US Open a few weeks ago as a last-minute alternate, Hiltzik was back with his teammates at Olympia Fields. “I started off pretty strong at the beginning of the tournament, I had a pretty good sense of where I had to be emotionally wise as well as physically wise in my game,” Hiltzik said. “The last match I kind of got away from that and let little things bother me too much”. He put together a 3-1 performance over the weekend, losing only to Quentin Monaghan of Notre Dame. One of his wins came against No. 38 Connor Glennon of Memphis. In the spring,

Hiltzik defeated Glennon as a big part of the Illini’s second round comeback win over the Tigers when he came back down a set and down 5-3 in the second set. There’s familiarity on the court, Hiltzik said, but there’s no animosity. Hiltzik said he thinks that he and Kopinski came out strong and did a good job pulling out victories. Kopinski is ranked No. 44 in the country and was the Most Outstanding Player at the Invite last year - a title awarded to the player who wins the most sets. This year Kopinski went 3-1 and tied for most points won with Hiltzik and this year’s Most Outstanding Player, Notre Dame’s Monaghan. Freshman Aleks Vukic followed up a semi-final appearance at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships with a 3-1 mark at Olympia Fields, including a win over No. 99 Robbie Mudge of NC State, his third victory over a ranked player in his first two collegiate meets. Toshiki Matsuya made his Illinois debut with a 2-2 record at the Invite. Dancer said he has great skills, but his performance was lacking. “He did not command the court very well and he’s got the ability to do that,” Dancer said. “He’s got to be a lot clearer about what his purpose is. I think he got distracted by scoring situations ... he can do better.” Dancer thinks the Illini can be better as they move forward to their next competitions. Illini will compete at both the Alabama Four next weekend and the ITA AllAmerican Championships, which begin on the 29th. “We had some good wins, there was great competition there (at Olympia Fields), but we can do better,” Dancer said.

amous Jameis. Defending Heisman trophy winner and Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston seems to have taken that moniker a bit too far. Again. In the latest Winston incident, he allegedly jumped on a table in the Florida State student union and yelled an obscene phrase toward women. Given the current climate of the football world, it probably was not the best timing for an incident like this. Especially since Winston was considered to be a fi rst round draft pick. Emphasis on “was considered” a fi rst round draft pick. Reports have surfaced claiming that Winston’s stock is dropping due to character issues. The yelling of an obscene phrase is just the latest in a year on the big stage for Jameis. Over the offseason, Winston was caught stealing crab legs out of grocery store. Not to mention the most important issue during his Florida State career, the sexual assault accusations. He was cleared of any wrongdoing, but you would think Winston would be careful not to draw any more unnecessary negative attention; most importantly, anything that degrades women. Winston’s most recent actions got him suspended for half of the Clemson

game originally, before being upgraded to the entire game (which went into overtime). Apparently Winston wasn’t notified of the adjustment to his punishment, and appeared on the field in full pads, another attention-drawing move, much to the dismay of his head coach, Jimbo Fisher. I have to believe that these aren’t calculated moves being made to create the legacy of Jameis. I also have to believe that Jameis is fully aware of what he is doing. He just doesn’t care. STEPHEN M.

Illinois hockey remains undefeated, sweeps Illinois State in 2-0 weekend DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

The Illinois hockey team remained undefeated on the season with two convincing wins at Illinois State over the weekend. The Illini (3-0-0) notched their fi rst victory Friday by a score of 5-3, and followed it up with a 2-0 shutout on Saturday. Head coach Nick Fabbrini said his team played well this weekend despite having several members of the team out with injuries. In the fi rst game, the team traded goals with Illinois State, going into the third period tied at 2-2. In the game’s last period, the Illini scored three unanswered goals to secure the victory. In the first period, Illinois State out shot

Illinois 9-7, but the Illini fought back in the second and third periods to out shoot the Redbirds by a total of 30-12. “We didn’t play very well through the fi rst period,” Fabbrini said. “The second period got a little better, and then in third period, we took the game over pretty much. Their fi rst shot in the third period didn’t come until there were three minutes left in the period. The game didn’t start out very well, but we fi nished very strongly.” On Saturday, the Illinois offense got off to a quick start with a goal from left wing Jack Soneson, and center John Olen added another goal to start the second period. On the defensive end, goalie Zev Grumet-Morris

was called to start his second game in a row after goalie Joe Olen fell ill. Olen had been scheduled to start Saturday. Grumet-Morris showed no signs of fatigue, and prevented the Redbirds from scoring a goal in the game. “We knew we couldn’t take them lightly,” GrumetMorris said. “We knew we had to focus and play them well, and they defi nitely showed us a really good squad. They came out really hard against us both nights. They weren’t easy wins by any means. We knew what to expect, so we just went at them.” F a bbr i n i s aw an improvement from the team over the previous week with regards to penalties, which he saw as an issue against the

Springfield Blues and Northern Illinois. He expects the team to develop its discipline even more as the season goes on. The team will have its fi rst full week of practice in the Illinois Ice Arena this week in preparation for its fi rst home game against Michigan State on Friday. “I think we just need to keep getting better,” Fabbrini said. “It’s still really early in the season for us. We are going to start playing better and better teams. We need to cut down on the mistakes. I like the way we are going here so far.”
