Rodney Davis endorsed by ex-Gov. Edgar for District 13 Davis opposes Obamacare, supports simpler tax code

NO AP PLES HERE

BY MATT RICE STAFF WRITER

Rodney Davis, Republican nominee for the 13th Congressional District, discussed his plan for the district’s job growth while speaking at a locally owned business Wednesday. Former Gov. Jim Edgar spoke at the press conference held at HL Precision Machining in Champaign and gave Davis his endorsement, citing his support for Davis’ fiscal policies. “Rodney understands the importance of keeping spending under control and will support policies to grow the economy and create jobs,” Edgar said. “He is the right guy for the job because he knows how to make Washington work better.” After accepting the endorsement, Davis announced his plan for job growth, which he said he bases off the idea that “any economic recovery will come on the backs of businesses like this (HL Precision Machining).” Davis said the major obstacle to job creation is that the government places too much of a burden on business owners. Unemployment in Illinois is at 9.1 percent, according to August 2012 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Dismal weather conditions cause shortage at Curtis Orchard BY MADDIE REHAYEM

hose looking to apple pick this season in Champaign are out of luck. Because of the drought, employees at Curtis Apple Orchard say there are no apples left to pick. “We’ve had a few sororities that have wanted to come out (and pick apples) as a group activity,” said Chris Curtis, office manager and son of Paul Curtis, who opened the orchard in 1977. “We’ve had to tell them, ‘Sorry, we just don’t have any apples.’” Because of the shortage, the orchard was only able to offer apple picking the first weekend in September. “We probably had less than 20 percent of our crop make it,” Curtis said. “We had a killer freeze in mid-April, and it was like a one-two punch. Whatever wasn’t affected by the frost, the

drought affected. It’s like a double whammy.” Curtis said this year’s poor weather conditions have contributed to the most challenging apple crop season of its 30 years of business. Some apple varieties fared better than others. Curtis said Pink Lady and Red Delicious apples did not do well, but Jonathan apples, a traditional, tart variety, did. “It was kind of hit or miss,” he said. Apple picking at Curtis Apple Orchard is usually on the agenda for October Lovers, a registered student organization dedicated to embracing autumn activities. October Lovers’ philanthropy chair Kristen Danowski, senior in Education, said it was a bummer not to be able to go apple picking. “We were questioning whether or not we should even go (to the orchard) at all,” Danowski said. “We

Illinois obesity rate to reach 53.7% by 2030, according to recent study BY EMMA WEISSMANN STAFF WRITER

More than half of Illinois could be classified as obese by 2030, but University health advocates believe students can stay fit despite the state’s heavy problem. Obesity rates across the U.S. are predicted to increase over the next 20 years, according to a new report. The report “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens Ameri-

ca’s Future 2012” was released this month by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. According to the report, 39 states will reach adult obesity rates exceeding 50 percent by 2030. Thirteen states are predicted to exceed 60 percent, and all states are expected to exceed 44 percent. The Illinois adult obesity rate as

agreed that going in itself is still a fun experience.” Curtis Apple Orchard also offers other activities, such as pumpkin picking and shopping at its cafe, bakery and country store. “They still have the shop where they have the donuts and the apple cider, and they also have pumpkins.” said Darragh McDermott, president of October Lovers and senior in LAS. Curtis said the pumpkin patch is thriving despite the weather. Pumpkins are planted later in the year, and because the orchard staff saw the drought coming, Curtis said they installed a temporary irrigation system, which helped yield, “a bigger than normal pumpkin harvest this year.” “It’s kind of a blessing in disguise,” he said.

DAVIS FROM PAGE 1A “For over three years, this (the Obama) administration has enacted federal regulations and tax increases that have strangled our job creators,” Davis said. When asked which regulations in particular he was referring to, Davis named the Affordable Care Act. “The uncertainty created by this has paralyzed the business community,” he said. According to a plan Davis has released to the public, Davis supports a routine congressional review of the necessity of existing regulations. Davis also cited the national deficit crisis as a major blockade to growth, while maintaining that Congress should not raise the current tax rates for anyone. Steve Hillard, president and owner of HL Precision Machin-

OBESITY FROM PAGE 1A ects that the state will remain No. 1 in 2030 at 66.7 percent. “This study shows us two futures for America’s health,” said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in the release. “At every level of government, we must pursue policies that preserve health, prevent disease and reduce health care costs. Nothing less is acceptable.” Graduate assistant Claudia Luévano Contreras studies nutrition and works with health educator Bethni Gill at McKinley Health Center. Luévano Contreras said she was not surprised by the study’s predictions. She said the issue of increasing obesity rates has been prevalent for about three or four years. Justine Karduck, teaching associate for food science and human nutrition, agreed. Karduck said that because obesity rates keep climbing, she thinks it’s becoming an epidemic. “So many people are overweight or obese,” Karduck said. “And now it looks like 50 percent will be obese .... It’s really staggering but not surprising.” Karduck said students should be proactive about living a healthy lifestyle and understanding their own bodies as well as the nutritional resources they have at the University. “I think part of this obesity epidemic is that there is a lack of education and so much misinformation in the media,” she said. “People really don’t know where to go or what to do exactly to make changes.” Bridget Schuld, senior in ACES, is the president of the Student Dietetics Association, an RSO that promotes nutrition, health and well-being. In the past, SDA has worked with University Dining Services to introduce calorie counts for recipes in University dining halls, Schuld said. “We try our best around campus to educate people by doing different programs ... but there’s

ing, also endorsed Davis. Hillard cited Davis’ opposition to the Affordable Care Act as one of the primary reasons he supports him. Hillard said some government regulations can be inconsistent. “A business in Illinois can go just east across the border to Indiana and pay half as much in workers’ compensation as it would have to in Illinois,” he said after the conference. “That’s just one example of how skewed regulations can be.” Hillard also stands behind Davis’ plan for tax reform. The plan includes extending the current tax rates so that business owners can more effectively budget. “The tax code is too complex,” Davis said. “Small businesses are often stifled by the code, and they need tax laws which are streamlined and simple.”

Matt can be reached at news@ dailyillini.com. only so much you can do,” Schuld said. “Cancer, heart disease, diabetes ... it’s sad, but they’re preventable with proper education and nutrition.” Nutritional information for dining hall meals can also be found online on the EatSmart website, said Robin Allen, administrative dietician for University Dining Services. The website is a breaks down the nutritional value of foods offered in University dining halls, she said. EatSmart, which was established five years ago, lets students see what recipes the dining halls will serve on any given day. Nutritional information from the USDA database and labels from the food’s manufacturer are also available for each food item. Allen said she found the Trust for America’s Health report horrifying. While she said she thinks dining services does a good job offering healthy options, she cannot force students to choose to eat healthy. “Our goal is to be able to provide the choice, but I don’t think that it’s our responsibility to make them eat (the healthy options),” Allen said. Luévano Contreras said with the amount of dining options available on campus matched with a college student’s busy lifestyle, students tend to “forget about (their) health.” She said it is important for students to be aware of the resources the University has to combat this. McKinley Health Center offers nutrition-awareness programs for individuals and groups as well as one-on-one sessions with a registered dietician, Luévano Contreras said. These programs are listed on McKinley’s website and include “Living Lean” group classes, nutrition workshops and individual consultations. “(The Trust for America’s report is aimed at) your generation,” Luévano Contreras said. “The students should be aware that they have options.”

New study on prison sentencing Research links sentence length to inmates’ chances of crime relapse BY KLAUDIA DUKALA STAFF WRITER

Research completed by University Professor Dan Bernhardt revealed a relationship between the length of an inmate’s prison sentence and his or her likelihood to rehabilitate. Bernhardt, professor of Economics, evaluated the lengths of prison sentences and their influence on inmates’ rehabilitation efforts. The study was published in the Journal of Law, Economics and Organization. Bernhardt said he wanted to understand how the length of a prison sentence influenced an inmate’s incentive to rehabilitate. To determine this relationship, Bernhardt said he and his co-researchers, Steeve Mongrain, of Simon Fraser University, and Joanne Roberts, of the University of Calgary, used numerical data and simulations to link their findings with correlations that other researchers had previously established. The research, which took more than three years to complete, found that long, mandatory prison

sentences and short sentences can counter-productively decrease an inmate’s motivation to participate in rehabilitative efforts, he said. According to the published work, inmates with shorter prison sentences may not engage in rehabilitative behavior because they know they will soon be released. On the other hand, inmates with extensively long prison sentences may lose sight of rehabilitation efforts because their release dates are in the distant future. Bernhardt said inmates usually display rehabilitative behavior to secure an early release date. As a result, prisoners with short sentences find no point in rehabilitation because they understand they will be released in a short amount of time, while prisoners with longer sentences have more to gain in terms of reduction of time served, he said. Bernhardt said this is why longer sentences may raise the incentives to rehabilitate. Kris Bolt, chief deputy of the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office , said it makes sense that longer sentences would increase rehabilitation rates among

SAN FRANCISCO — The University of California has agreed to pay $1 million to settle a lawsuit fi led by demonstrators who were pepper-sprayed during an Occupy protest at UC Davis last fall, according to a preliminary settlement fi led Wednesday. The Nov. 18, 2011, incident prompted national outrage, angry campus protests and calls for the resignation of Chancellor Linda Katehi after online videos shot by witnesses went viral. Images of a police offi cer casually spraying orange pepper-spray in the faces of nonviolent protesters became a rallying symbol for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The demonstrators had been protesting steep tuition hikes and police brutality. Under the proposed settlement, UC would pay $30,000 to each of 21 plaintiffs named in the complaint and an additional $250,000 for their attorneys to split. Katehi, who has publicly apologized for the incident, would be

personal claim. “My personal opinion would be that the eventual or not eventual rehabilitation of an individual is probably more inherently embedded in the desires and attitudes of that individual,” he said. Christensen said he has observed people who were arrested and served their sentences but showed no signs of recidivism. He said others have a continuous problem with relapsing back to crime. He said he thinks “it just depends on the person.” Bolt said prison sentencing is partially responsible for inmate’s motivation to rehabilitate; however, his or her surrounding environment is the ultimate determinate. He said prisoners are more likely to succeed if they have the support and attitude they need to move forward. Bernhardt’s research doesn’t make any statements concerning the ideal sentence length. He said the state is not only concerned with rehabilitation, but also assuring the prison sentence is appropriate for the crime committed. “Sentencing is very complex,” Bolt said. “There is no cut and dried answer of what an appropriate prison sentence should be.”

inmates. “With a longer term, the inmates would probably have a better chance to succeed,” Bolt said, adding that it’s hard for prisoners to completely rehabilitate their behavior in a short amount of time. Although longer sentences can raise incentives and success rates, Bernhardt said if sentences are too long, the possibility for an early release based on good behavior becomes less tangible, making inmates conclude that rehabilitation may not be worthwhile. “Many people are in prison precisely because they are impatient and lack impulse control,” he said. “Such impatience translates itself in the form of not valuing highly distant future payoffs.” Bernhardt said inmates are often released without the state knowing if the inmate successfully reformed his or her behavior. As a result, those inmates end up relapsing and committing more crimes. Jeff Christensen, chief of police for the University Police Department, said recidivism, the habitual relapse into crime, is a concern when inmates are released from prison. He said he agrees with Bernhardt’s research that the rehabilitation of an individual has something to do with prison sentences but steered toward a more

Voter ID laws penalize disadvantaged groups, unfairly favor male electorate

JOANNA ROTHENBERG

he United States has come a long way from the days when only white, landowning men could vote. But voter identification laws are still systematically obstructing minorities, women and the economically disadvantaged from voting. Many people take having a form of identification for granted: Many American citizens do not have a valid form of identification. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is currently evaluating a state voter identification law. Matt Barreto, from the Washington Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race and Sexuality, will testify against the state in the supreme court case. According to his research, over 12 percent of registered voters in Pennsylvania do not have a proper ID. His report also found that Latinos would be disproportionately affected. Laws like these give politicians a legal means to exclude minorities from democratic participation. These laws may also prevent older minorities from voting. For example, many African-Americans born during the Jim Crow era were delivered at home by midwives and have no documentation of their birth. In most states, citizens need to present a valid birth certificate to obtain an ID. Although they are citizens, people without birth certificates will likely be unable to vote. Should such voter ID laws pass, women may also become disenfranchised. According to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, 34 percent of women have no documents with their current legal name. Name changes from marriage or divorce are often not reflected in any form of identification. Unlike those with no proof of their birth, women can obtain appropriate identification. However, this is still an extra step that many men do not have to take. Similarly, transgender Americans may face a similar problem. Although they can update their identification to match their current gender, it is an obstacle that those who are not transgender probably will not have to overcome. The hurdles that certain groups of Americans have to face in the voting process is reminiscent of poll taxes used to keep African-Americans from voting in the late 1800s. Voter ID laws will also harm the economically disadvantaged. According to the Brennan Center, in the states which have voter ID laws, obtaining a birth certificate can cost up to $25. Lower income families have more pressing uses for that money. If someone has to choose between feeding his or her family or getting a birth certificate, the choice is clear. Political participation has to be placed on the back burner for financial concerns. Proponents of the identification laws in Pennsylvania point to how birth certificates are free in Pennsylvania. However, ID-issuing offices are often closed over the weekend and are only open during business hours during the work week. Individuals who are struggling to make ends meet cannot skip work to get an ID. What proponents of voter ID laws don’t mention is the lack of voter fraud in the U.S. — a reason often cited for stricter voter ID laws. According to the Brennan Center, voter fraud happens less than 0.001 percent of the time. Preventing less than 0.001 percent of voters from committing fraud cannot come at the price of disenfranchising millions of Americans.

and the Czech Republic. Bridging this educational gap will require both political and social change. The U.S. government needs to put more emphasis on increasing interest in technology and engineering. It needs to provide incentives to bring better math and science teachers into public schools. Doing so will require additional funding which the government should be willing to provide at any cost, even if that means cutting back in other less essential areas of education. President Obama took a step in the right direction last July, proposing a $1 billion plan to provide incentives and mentoring to teachers in math, science and engineering. Unfortunately, Congress, which has been very stringent on budget issues of late, is making it very hard to foresee this measure moving forward anytime soon. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said it best: “This initiative has nothing to do with politics. It’s absolutely in our country’s best long-term economic interest to do a much better job in this area.” Even more important than the political will is the will of the American public to embrace technology as the key to future prosperity. This all begins with instilling in America’s youth the importance of math and science and their fundamental role in shaping the American way of life. Perhaps if mathematicians and scientists were glorified in the same way as reality stars and sports figures, America would begin to gravitate back to the innovative mindset that brought it into its original dominance.

or a moment, let us jump back to the year 2004. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts just won the Democratic nomination to run against President George W. Bush in the presidential election. Kerry had a bit of trouble keeping a consistent story. He would change his mind over and over. He initially supported the Patriot Act, and then he decided against it. He was in favor of No Child Left Behind, and then he disagreed with it. He said voting against wartime funding is the same as abandoning the troops and then voted against a supplemental funding bill. And then a little further into the future, he voted against it again. Anyone seeing a pattern unfold here? He was a flip-flopper. You know who else is a flipflopper? Gov. Mitt Romney. If it is possible, he might actually be worse than Kerry. The amount of times this man seems to flip and then flop is getting a little out of hand. Between 1994 and now, he has changed his opinion on so many different issues, sometimes within the same year or even the same week. When Romney was running for Senate against Ted Kennedy, he classified himself as pro-choice at a fund-raiser for Planned Parenthood, and continued his pro-choice stance through 2002, when running for governor. But fast-forward to 2005, he expressed his change of heart in The Boston Globe, after vetoing a bill that would expand access to the morning-after pill for rape victims. Later, in 2012, Romney told CBS, he was in favor of abortions to protect the mother’s health. But in the same week, he told a conservative radio host that he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life — not her health — is threatened. In 2002, when Romney was running for governor, he refused to sign a pledge promising he would not increase taxes. That does not sound like the Romney we all know and love. With all the recent controversy surrounding the taxes he pays, this is quite shocking. He changed his mind in 2007. Now he says tax hikes stifle the growth of the economy. He has even changed his mind on global climate change (originally believing humans are a contributing factor), illegal immigration (changing his definition of self-deportation), and those he wants supporting him (a change from his 47 percent comment just a few weeks ago). With all of this flipping and flopping, does anyone know where he actually stands on issues? Does he even know for himself? Every time he changes his opinions, he loses the trust of the American people, and therefore loses more votes. If he changes his mind so many times before the election, how many times will he change his mind if elected president? I am not saying it is impossible to alter an opinion, but it seems Romney is switching his opinion based on the latest poll data. Had he stayed moderate throughout his entire career, he would not be having quite the problems he’s having now. No one would be accusing him of flip-flopping, and he would be polling better with people across the board, not just the most elite of the upper class. There seems to be very few things with which he has been consistent, but in his defense he has at least stayed consistent on one issue — same-sex marriage. According to PolitiFact, he had expressed some liberal positions on gay rights back when he was running against Kennedy but never claimed to support it. So yes, at least there is something that he is almost, sort of consistent on, kind of. I would have thought politicians everywhere would have learned from the mistakes of the John Kerry campaign in 2004, but we will find out in November if the “try, try again” method really works.

Epidemic of strikes pervades Chicago ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist

ust because people aren’t spontaneously combusting or turning into zombies doesn’t mean that there isn’t an epidemic going on. More than a week after a proposed contract ended the Chicago Teachers Union strike, the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra followed suit — to begin a strike that is. These strikes converge in their pursuit of First Amendment rights and pretty much diverge on everything else. Chicago Public School teachers bargained for a 3 percent raise in the first and fourth years and 2 percent in the second and third years, whereas the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association is offering a 4.5 percent salary increase over 3 years. That’s pretty much where the similarities end, for now at least. With a base minimum salary of $144,000, CSO musicians exceed the average CPS teacher’s 2011-12 average salary of $74,839. Diverging further from the CPS strike, CSO musicians cite a proposed 7 percent increase in health benefit contributions as their primary disagreement. This increase in contributions essentially offsets their increase in salary. These strikes are simply different: different domains, different financial needs and different interests needing to be resolved. The Chicago Tribune reported that, according to Stephen Lester, chairman of the CSO orchestra members committee, “the recent Chicago teachers strike had no impact on the committee’s decision to

call for a work stoppage.” However, if both sides are pursuing reform, similarities must have ignited these pursuits into demands. So if there isn’t a domino effect in play, what is causing the recent Chicago strike epidemic? The answer lies in the strikes’ implications: failure of the public to recognize workers needs, ignoring early cues and planning and communication inconsistencies. Opponents of both strikes see the act of striking in itself as neglectful of those negatively impacted: the CPS students and CSO patrons. These teachers and musicians are not striking because of greed but because reform can’t wait any longer. Some critics disregard the fact that teachers may be striking for the sake of their students’ lacking educational environments and the fact that musicians, who devote much of their lives and careers to performing for audiences, are neglecting them is preposterous. There is nothing more these teachers and musicians would rather do than, well, teach and perform. Passionless teachers and musicians just don’t strike, unless they feel they need to defend what they love, of course. The bottom line is that the teachers sacrificed their passion for teaching for their students and the musicians sacrificed their passion for performing so that their demands would be acknowledged. Alongside recognition of workers’ needs, workers’ voices are just as forgotten. A CSO strike was inevitable; after all, the negotiations did start over two months ago — a sufficient and fair amount of time to reach a deal that only took three days once the CSOA decided to pay attention. CSO musicians had raised their voices and concerns, but the bargain-

ing, which began in July, lasted less than a month before the talks were suspended in August until resuming in September. Likewise, the CTU had gone on strike about 10 times since 1970. The most recent strike was in 1987, when teachers protested for a 15 percent salary increase over two years. Opponents deemed the teachers’ propositions impractical and not worthy of being satisfied — sound familiar? Ultimately, neither of these implications are possible without ample, efficient communication. There can’t be sides walking out on each other. As individuals who recognize the direness of these situations, maturity is also key — something even adults discard once passion and heated debate get the best of them. The media and the selectivity in choosing what they focus on amplify the childish “he said, she said” game. This is why we need to revive face-toface communication because, otherwise, words and intentions are lost in translation and often misconstrued. The CSOA should not have to be startled by its musicians’ seemingly unforeseen strike, and CPS teachers should not have to succumb to a court trial to express their ideas and manage their issues. I’m not saying that the negotiations should have been sped up, but these concerns should have been taken more seriously the first time. Yet we act surprised when strikes finally emerge, as if there were no cues at all. This epidemic infecting the city of Chicago is perhaps not an epidemic of strikes at all. Chicago is experiencing an epidemic of lost voices.

America’s need for STEM majors is pressing ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist

rom Whitney’s cotton gin, to McCormick’s reaper, to Ford’s assembly line, American society has historically relied on technological innovation to power its new industries. However, recent educational indicators suggest that America is falling behind in its ability to innovate, and consequently will be unable to generate the economic growth necessary to compete in the global economy. Despite maintaining the highest GDP in the world at $15 trillion, a massive debt and high unemployment have created the sentiment that American supremacy may be in jeopardy. This is in large part due to the surging economies of China and India, whose GDPs have been consistently growing at rates more than twice that of the U.S. over the greater part of the last decade. Consequently, Goldman Sachs has predicted that the Chinese economy will overtake the American economy before 2050. So what are China and India doing differently? In addition to being two of the fastest growing countries in terms of population, they are also far more committed to developing the next generation of technological innovators. The National Science Foundation showed that in 2008, engineering degrees made up 31 percent of bachelor’s degrees in China and 19 percent of bachelor’s degrees in Asia as a whole. In the U.S., only 4 percent

of bachelor’s degrees awarded were in engineering. These figures are troubling because engineers are predominantly responsible for pushing the envelope of technology. The general discrepancy between Asia and the U.S. is significant enough to warrant concern in spite of the fact that some researchers suspect the Chinese government may have inflated their statistics. Looking at the U.S. individually raises even more alarming concerns. Despite having access to the best university system in the world, Americans are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. To illustrate, the Congressional Research Service concluded that in 2006, foreign students on temporary resident visas earned 32 percent of doctorate degrees in science, and nearly 59 percent of doctorate degrees in engineering. That means, while America is providing the education, a large percentage of its yields are going to industries overseas. Additionally, the National Center for Education Statistics found that among the fastest growing undergraduate majors in 2010 were “parks, recreation, leisure, and fitness studies.” While these are all noble disciplines, they certainly are not the types of degrees that usually lead to the next Apple or Facebook. This technological deficit arises before students reach the collegiate level. In 2007, an international comparison test ranked U.S. fourth graders 11th out of 35 competing countries in math. The same test ranked U.S. eighth graders 11th out of 47 countries in science, falling short of nations such as Singapore, Hungary

ISM invites all to be part of a musical life BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

Imagine you are sitting in class, indifferently taking notes and staring off into space. Suddenly your professor and half the class break out into perfectly synchronized song and dance. They frolic across the lecture hall with flawless, sweeping choreography. Then, as unexpectedly as it began, the musical number ends, and the professor transitions seamlessly back into the lecture. While we can never truly live in a musical, the Illini Student Musicals (ISM) brings you as close to the action as possible — ISM is the only RSO on campus that focuses solely on producing and presenting musical theater productions. “The idea (of ISM) had sort of been brewing for a year or two,” said Aaron Kaplan, master’s student in FAA and co-president of ISM. “But I think what finally made us decide to start it was a need for ... a group that was dedicated to putting on shows and fostering theater education, giving opportunities to other students who loved to do it in high school.” Kaplan is one of seven people on the ISM board. Currently, there are over 60 members in the group, all with different roles in the cast, crew, staff and pit. “The reason we started this group is that there’s nobody else doing (musical theater) on campus,” said Justin Brauer, junior in FAA and vice president of ISM. “I think it’s just a tremendous place for non-majors to get involved in this group passion.” While theater, opera and other departments within FAA put on their own musical productions throughout the year, these are usually limited to students in specific majors, not to those from other colleges. ISM plans to put on a different show every semester, and it aims to give opportunities to anyone interested in theater. This means it involves not only the acting and performing aspects, but also the marketing, tech crew, costume designers and other behind-thescenes roles.

CANCER FROM PAGE A6 and crafts, drama, sports and team building. Camp Kesem also has many traditions, such as having everyone go by nicknames. “It’s a week where you get away from everything, so you’re living this fantasy land, and the nicknames are a part of that,” said Shamon, who goes by “Goofy” at camp. “You don’t have to live your life as Brian or Jason or Jessica. ... Here you can change your name and you can be Cinderella or you can be this or that, and live that fantasy land for a week.” Illini 4000 heightens cancer awareness by biking from New York City to San Francisco over the summer.

“We chose (Drowsy Chaperone) because we were looking for something that had ... a lot of featured roles, and we were looking for something that could feature as many people as we could,” said Jeri Hart, senior in Education and director of the production. “We thought it would be a lot of fun and show people what we’re all about as an organization.” In addition to the shows each

which people across the country discuss how they’ve been affected by the disease, according to Alex Massey, sophomore in DGS and director of marketing for the Illini 4000. This past summer, the Illini 4000 conducted about 60 projects, the most they’ve had on one trip, Massey said. They raised almost $130,000 last year, and their fundraising goal this year is $150,000. Organizations they’ve donated to include Livestrong, the American Cancer Society, the Ishan Gala Foundation and the University of Illinois Foundation. To prepare for the summer biking trip, riders start their training regimen at the ARC on Saturdays. Once spring break arrives, they hit the trails outside on their own bikes, starting out with a 30-mile ride on the fi rst Saturday. The rides get progressively longer in 15-mile increments. “It trains them enough for the summer, so they can actively

bike across the country without too many problems,” Massey said. “A lot of it’s for safety, a lot of it’s for team building, and a lot of it’s just getting comfortable on a bicycle.” The Illini 4000’s two recent fundraisers were the Underwear Mile and the 24 Hours of Cycling Vigil. They hope to have an event every month, such as a 4K and a 20- to 30-mile bike ride for students and people in Champaign-Urbana. The three RSOs have opportunities for students to get involved. The Illini 4000 is currently seeking ride members for the 2013 summer team. Applications to join can be found on Illini4000.org and are due Sept. 29. CAC’s second general meeting is Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Noyes 217. Students can get involved in Camp Kesem by emailing illinois@campkesem.org.

CALENDAR

he streets throughout campus are quiet each Sunday morning as many students sleep off their exhaustion from the previous night’s activities. Meanwhile, a small group gathers inside the St. John’s Catholic Chapel near the corner of Sixth Street and Armory Avenue. Around 10:30 a.m., the intimate room erupts with the music of an organ. A line of ministers and other church servers then processes down the center aisle, trailed by Monsignor Gregory Ketcham, director of the St. John’s Newman Center. Standing among the celestial images and renaissance-style architecture that comprise the chapel’s setup, Ketcham overlooks the crowd for a few brief moments before gesturing the sign of the cross with his right hand to officially begin the ceremony. Though the Sunday mass is just one of the eight services that Ketcham hosts a week, he said he finds new ways to connect with churchgoers each day. “We never repeat sermons,” he said, referring to how he prepares his weekly sermons. “I preach a lot the way Jesus did, with stories. I’ll read the scripture, and then draw from different issues on campus and from my experiences working with students.” As the manager of the largest Catholic institution on campus and the football team’s official chaplain, he is responsible for much more than chapel mass. Depending on the time of the year, his daily tasks can include facilitating Confession services, marriage preparation classes, as well as one of the center’s weekend retreats. Despite his busy schedule, Ket-

cham said his first and foremost priority is “dealing with the spiritual needs of the students,” which include both Catholics and non-Catholics. Each evening, he makes a point to spend time talking to students in the dining room of Newman Hall, the private certified housing dorms adjacent to the St. John’s Chapel. Shea Acott, sophomore in FAA, said Ketcham involves himself in campus culture and makes a strong effort to connect with each student personally. “I didn’t live in Newman the first semester of my freshmen year,” Acott said. However, she was persuaded to transfer to the hall because of Ketcham’s welcoming personality. “He is just very generous with his time and very sensitive to students’ needs,” she said. Though Ketcham is now in his 18th year as an ordained priest, the last seven of which were spent at the University, he hadn’t always dreamed of becoming a clergyman. *** Born on Valentine’s Day in 1967, Ketcham grew up in the small town of Hamilton, Ill., where he lived with his parents, brother and three sisters. Ketcham described his hometown as a “wholesome and agricultural environment.” His mother worked at home as a full-time mom and his father sold farm machinery. Though raised in the Catholic faith, Ketcham’s initial plans were to follow the footsteps of his older siblings and to pursue a career in the medical field. He entered Quincy University, a Franciscan Catholic school located in Quincy, Ill., as a pre-med student with hopes of becoming a physician. He also played on the university foot-

ball team as a quarterback. During his sophomore year of school, Ketcham said several of the university’s influential faculty members challenged him to further develop his relationship with Jesus. “As I went through that transition from adolescent faith to adult faith and matured spiritually ... the more I got deeper in prayer and the more I gave of myself in service, I noticed a feeling of contentment and peace I had never really experienced before,” he said. This convinced Ketcham to give up football, dedicate his life to the church and to attend seminary school. Seven years later, in 1994, Ketcham was ordained and served at a number of churches throughout the state of Illinois for 12 years before coming to the University in 2005. *** Being a priest at the University is very different from Ketcham’s previous work in parish ministries, he said. With such a large student population, and individuals from different walks of life and levels of faith, Ketcham is more of a missionary here on campus. The stress of students’ personal and academic lives as well as the University’s alcohol and party culture can sometimes be overwhelming. Ketcham said it is crucial to continuously remind students “that there is a God that loves them and will always forgive them.” “I am convinced that there are a lot of people on campus who find pleasure, but very few who find happiness,” he said. Rachel Holmes, senior in Media and resident adviser at Newman Hall, can relate to the struggle of balancing faith with life at the University. Holmes admitted there were times throughout her college experience when her faith was challenged and she became caught up in the social aspects of campus life. Though there are other students at

the Newman Center whose connection to their faith may not be very strong, the center welcomes everyone, Holmes added. Individuals such as Msgr. Ketcham and the rest of the Newman community “prevented her faith from dying out completely and even helped to strengthen it,” she said. Periods of challenged faith are a natural part of every believer’s journey, Ketcham explained. On a personal level, his most emotionally-taxing time centered around the death of his father in November of 1994 after being diagnosed with a terminal illness 11 months earlier. It is during these times when believers’ faith is strengthened in the long run, he added. His experiences in the parish ministry helping individuals shortly before their deaths allowed him to see the “beauty of how spirits grow,” when people face adversity. Many argue that the whole Catholic Church is undergoing a similar period of challenge as worries concerning the Church’s decreasing numbers of followers take hold. For Ketcham, this transition is more of a “pruning” period; numbers may decline but the conviction of the remaining followers solidifies. “I believe that the beliefs of the Catholic Church are at war with the beliefs of the (American) culture,” Ketcham said. “There have been many members of the church who have sold out to the culture ... it’s getting harder to be on the sidelines now. You need to either embrace the faith or discard it.” Looking toward the future, Ketcham is excited to see how the Newman Center will grow. He has found a home where he can combine both his love for God, football, and “the creativity and idealism of the students.”

Although October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which provides the opportunity for students to get involved in cancer-related causes, the RSOs Colleges Against Cancer, Camp Kesem and the Illini 4000 work year-round to raise cancer awareness. Students can participate in CAC’s annual Pink Week, which will be Oct. 8-12 . CAC will have a booth on the north side of the Quad from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. “Pink Week is my second favorite time of year, only next to Relay for Life,” said Christina Small, CAC president and senior in LAS. “We have a great time.” At the CAC booth, people will hand out educational pamphlets, sell shirts and bracelets and talk to students about breast cancer awareness. “We’ll have all sorts of information about breast cancer and what you can do — preventative measures, educational measures,” said Kaitlyn Kestel, CAC vice president and junior in AHS. “We also have a fake boob that you can feel for tumors and things like that for education.” The bracelets, which come in purple, black and pink, have the word “Hope” printed across them and cost $1. The shortsleeve and long-sleeve shirts are $5 and $10, respectively. “We do a funny T-shirt aimed towards college students, and then a more serious T-shirt, and they both are just breast cancer awareness shirts,” Kestel said. In previous years, they have sold 1,900 to 2,000 shirts in less than one week. This year’s slogan for the short-sleeve shirt is “Hakuna Ma Tatas,” and the long-sleeve shirt’s slogan is “Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.” Last year’s “I Heart Boobs” shirt will also be available. “We sell these T-shirts and these goofy things, but at the base of it, the information’s the important part,” said Matt Cronin, vice president and senior in FAA. “That’s why we’re really out there.” The RSO Camp Kesem is a free weeklong summer camp for kids whose parents have or have had cancer. Students involved in Camp Kesem fundraise and work all year to put together the overnight camp. “(Camp Kesem) is a nice way to let the kids have a week free of being in that stressful environment at home,” said Marty Shamon, Camp Kesem co-chair and senior in LAS. “It’s a nice week off for the parents and for the families because they know that their kids are being taken care of.” Fundraisers for the camp include canning at football games, selling hot dogs and baked goods on the Quad, and holding 5K and 10K races. This year they plan on holding “Make the Magic,” an event that has been successful at other universities. At Camp Kesem, campers get to participate in a variety of activities as they go through rotations, which include arts

Blanton mulls over future as UFC fighter

After further review, Illini D can’t keep up Offensive speed downfall of defense in both losses DAN WELIN

Editor’s note: This is the first of a twopart series following the wresting career of senior Jordan Blanton, who will soon have to make a critical decision regarding his future. Jon Jones successfully defended his light heavyweight championship against Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 on Saturday. Jones, 25, is the youngest UFC champion in history. But it was only six years ago that Jones won a different title — the NJCAA wresting championship. Jordan Blanton, a two-time AllAmerican at Illinois, is entering his senior season with expectations of winning a national championship of his own. Ranked No. 2 at the 174-pound weight class according to WIN Magazine, Blanton has already amassed 88 wins in his illustrious career. Considering his success so far, it’s hard for Blanton to not at least consider a future in mixed martial arts, a sport that former wrestlers have dominated since its inception. When the Ultimate Fighting Championship began in 1993, the sport surged. MMA is designed to be a competition between fi ghters of all backgrounds, including jiu-jitsu, boxing, muay thai, karate and wrestling. Despite the numerous fi ghting styles that exist in the sport, there is no hiding which background has seen the most success. The UFC has eight different weight classes and each division has a titleholder. Five of the UFC’s current champions have wrestling backgrounds. Of the eight fi ghters inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, six wrestled at the collegiate level. Four of those six were DivisionI All-Americans, and Ohio State’s Mark Coleman won a national championship. Two of them ended up wrestling for the U.S. in the Olympics (Coleman and Randy Couture). In a sport where no professional league exists, many athletes fi nd themselves done with wrestling after college. With the Olympics being only for top-tier talent, options for wrestlers after graduation are limited. The UFC, which has become a serious competitor to boxing, has given many wrestlers an opportunity to continue competing after college. After all, the next UFC Hall-of-Famer could be compet-

ing for a national championship this season — even at Illinois. Although the college wrestling season does not begin until November, Blanton has focused on improving his skills throughout the offseason. During the summer, Blanton competed at the University National Championships, which is a freestyle tournament, fi nishing eighth. Unfortunately for Blanton, only the top seven in each weight class advanced to August’s University World Team Trials, a tournament held by USA Wrestling. The tournament helped Blanton gain experience in freestyle competition, one of the two wrestling styles contested at the Olympics. Wrestling at the Olympics has always

the fi rst three weeks of nonconference play, fans weren’t able to learn much about this season’s Illinois football team. Saturday’s matchup with Louisiana Tech was the type of statement game the Illinois defense could have used to erase the Arizona State loss from its memories. The 52-24 trouncing at the hands of the Bulldogs was quite similar to the 45-14 loss to Arizona State in Week Two, and this week’s tape didn’t differ much from that week’s. After that fi rst loss of the season, the Illinois defense vowed to right the ship and become more accustomed to handling quick offenses. The Illini implemented color cards to account for a speedy turnaround between plays. Instead of having a play called in, the defense could just look to the sideline, see the card and know which defense to run. Six offensive touchdowns and a second loss later showed the unit still has work to do. In the Louisiana Tech loss, the nation’s third-highest scoring offense used extreme speed and all of its offensive weapons to run away from Illinois and exploit any defensive set thrown its way. Outside of a fi rst-quarter Michael Buchanan sack and ensuing Illinois fumble recovery, the defensive line generated very little pressure on Louisiana Tech quarterback Colby Cameron . Without a steady pass rush, Cameron was able to fi nd his open receivers, like Biletnikoff Award candidate Quinton Patton , who scored two touchdowns on 164 receiving yards. Additionally, the running backs were able to evade Illinois’ defensive linemen to break into the secondary. The Bulldogs’ speed negated the rush at times as well, such as on their fi rstquarter flea-fl icker in which Cameron — despite taking a hit — completed a 40-yard pass to Patton. Along with its speed, Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes’ overall game plan and style of play is what separated his team from Illinois. The aggressive plan of attack Louisiana Tech operates with was prevalent in all three facets of the game. On kickoffs, the Bulldogs’ kicker targeted the sides, consistently booting it inside the 10-yard line, causing problems for the Illinois returners. He booted a few kicks out of bounds resulting in a penalty, but that’s what happens when chances are taken, and the Bulldogs’ usually forced the Illini to start deep in their own territory. The Louisiana Tech defense seems to have the “bend but don’t break” mentality as it allows Illinois to get away with short passes underneath but didn’t allow the Illini to get any closer than

Hockey shootout puts pressure on goalie to perform

Safeties Hull, Sanni ready for Penn State Duo returns from injury to aid defense in Big Ten

BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: This is the second of a twopart series about how Illinois hockey players approach the shootout, one of the most pressure-packed situations in sports.

BY SEAN HAMMOND STAFF WRITER

When the Illinois football team takes the field Saturday at Memorial Stadium, it will have a couple of familiar faces returning to its defense. Safeties Steve Hull and Supo Sanni will be back from injuries against Penn State. The duo has missed all but part of one game this season for the Illini. After missing the opener, Hull played briefly against Arizona State before injuring his shoulder. Sanni has been injured on and off throughout his entire collegiate career. Saturday will be the fi rst appearance of his senior season after sitting out the fi rst four games with a knee injury. Both Hull and Sanni made 11 starts for Illinois in 2011. Hull, a junior, said the last four weeks have been one of the most difficult times he can remember. “It’s been some of the toughest moments in my life,” he said. “Because the season is something I work for. And being out here and watching my teammates go to war without me is tough.” It was undoubtedly made tougher by the defense’s performance. In its two losses, the Illinois defense has surrendered a combined 97 points and 913 total yards. The Illinois secondary was burned repeatedly in both games, with Louisiana

Illinois’ Steve Hull (5) watches the action on the field from the bench during the game against Louisiana Tech at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Hull has missed three of the first four Illini games this season due to injury. Tech stringing together four drives of five plays or fewer. “We’ve got to eliminate the big plays,” defensive coordinator Tim Banks said. “When (the players) watched the fi lm, they could see that it was more us than (Louisiana Tech). Anytime you can see that, that’s a good thing. Now we’ve just got to go out on the field and do it.” Illinois head coach Tim Beckman thought a large part of the problem has been the Illini’s tackling. According to Beckman, the defense missed eight tackles against Louisiana Tech — an improvement from its performance against Arizona State but still not where he wants his defense to be.

Earnest Thomas and Patrick NixonYouman fi lled in for Hull and Sanni at safety in all four games. Thomas said the problems weren’t the fault of any one person but rather were lapses in concentration. “We’ve got to focus on what we’re doing every play,” Thomas said. “We can’t do it for 90 percent of the game or 75 percent of the game. We’ve got to do it every play. All of us as a unit, talking and communicating and focusing on what we’ve got to do. If we can do that, big plays won’t occur.” Penn State presents a different chal-

A goaltender can be pretty intimidating. Maybe it’s the huge pads or the unique helmet art, but goalies definitely stand out. Though perhaps overlooked throughout the regulation of a hockey game, the spotlight shines brightest on goalies when the game turns to a shootout. The Illinois hockey team has junior Nick Clarke minding the net, which head coach Nick Fabbrini has become extremely comfortable with. “Clarke is a great goaltender on breakaways,” Fabbrini said. “He’s one of the best goalies in the league.” Once the final horn has sounded and the shootout begins, Clarke said he doesn’t feel pressure; rather, it’s a sense of pride, knowing that he can keep his team alive as long as he can hold up. At least a part-time starter all three years at Illinois, Clarke said his experience keeps him calm in a shootout scenario.

“As a junior now, I’ve faced a couple of shootouts,” Clarke said. “You just have to keep your focus and cancel everyone out and stick to your game.” Illinois lost 5-4 to Michigan State last Friday — 2-1 in the shootout round — but it’s hard to blame Clarke for his performance. Though shootouts are a minimum of three rounds, this particular contest extended to five, as both Clarke and Michigan State goaltender Derek Hess went back and forth defying pay dirt for the offense. “Going 2-for-5 this weekend is decent,” Clarke said. “It would have been nice to come out on top, especially after that big comeback in the last couple minutes. But sometimes the puck just doesn’t go your way.” Clarke is aware of the less-thanstellar environment that comes with a shootout. Many forwards would say that the uncut ice from two periods of action would be a big advantage to goaltenders because it makes deking and crossover moves difficult to perform. Unfortunately for Clarke and the Illini, “difficult” doesn’t mean impossible, and Clarke was caught off guard by the two goals he let in during Friday’s

Shift in volleyball lineup follows Stark’s return Criswell relegated to bench despite strong play as of late BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER

Court time has been sparse for Illinois outside hitter Morganne Criswell of late. Since playing in every set in the Illini’s fi rst seven games of the season, Criswell has been relegated to the bench. Starting at the Texas Invitational , the sophomore has appeared in only one of Illinois’ last five games, and even then, it was a brief appearance during the fi rst set of the Illini’s win against Cincinnati on Sept. 15 . The change had little to do with any negatives from Criswell’s offensive perfor-

mance. In fact, the sophomore appeared to be hitting her stride before the move, posting double-digit kills in four straight matches leading into the Texas match. Rather, it was the return of outside hitter Ali Stark to hitting and net duties after an ankle injury she sustained in the season opener that has cut into Criswell’s playing time. While both Stark and Criswell play the outside hitter position, Stark’s defense and passing is markedly better. Her presence in the lineup allows head coach Kevin Hambly more freedom in his substitutions and rotations,

and perhaps more importantly, allow him to keep top offensive threat Jocelynn Birks in the game more frequently. “(Criswell’s) passing has not been where it needs to be, and Ali is our best passer as an outside hitter,” Hambly said. “So we’re struggling with that skill, and Morganne struggled during that time (the fi rst seven games). When we have her out there it doesn’t allow us to keep Jocelynn out there because we need someone else out there passing because she can’t cover the court.” Expectably, Criswell’s initial reaction when Hambly told her that news two weeks ago was an unhappy one. Though Hambly said she was visibly upset, it didn’t take long for Criswell to overcome her initial emotions. “She worked her way through

it,” Hambly said. “And then “(Criswell) is defi nitely a celeshe’s like, ‘Hey, you gotta be a brator,” Stark said. “She gets the good teammate,’ team pumped up and is always and she’s been a great teammate cheering, which ever since.” helps out a lot, For her part, especially with Criswell was the chemistry. understanding of “She brings the move, credso much energy, iting Stark as an and it gets the excellent passer team pumped and key to the up and excited.” Illini’s success.

“The thought I had is, ‘If this is what’s best for the team, then that’s what we need out there.’”

Even with Criswell competing for playing time at the same position as Stark and Birks, Stark and Criswell said there was never animosity between them. At most, Stark termed it as a “friendly competition.” “I mean there might be some underlying competition, but we don’t really outwardly argue or anything or joke about it that much,” Criswell said. Criswell and Stark — who lives with Birks — both spoke of an off-the-court friendship that keeps the trio tight knit. “We’re together like 24/7,” Criswell said. “We can’t really be separated much.” If Criswell continues to improve in practice, they could be spending more time together on the court.

After a 21-point fi rst quarter, Louisiana Tech had a very pedestrian second, which turned out to be the only quarter it hasn’t scored in all season. On the second play out of halftime, Patton scored on a 78-yard touchdown reception that officially opened the fl ood gates for this prolific offense.

Fantasy football, if done right, can be an absolute blast, but even with a good team, the process of setting your roster can be frustrating. Few consistent players can be relied upon to put up decent points week in and week out — Ray Rice, Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy maybe, Larry Fitzgerald maybe, Calvin Johnson, Gronk, Jimmy Graham, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady — and even those guys are susceptible to bad weeks. Most everyone else is either young (hey, Cam Newton), unproven (what’s happening, DeMarco Murray?), injury prone (how’s it going, Michael Vick?), coming off injury (Adrian Peterson, have you met Jamaal Charles?), or giving off the aura of overachievement (looking at you, C.J. Spiller). After the fi rst tier of players, there is parity. Your second running back and your fourth running back may not be all that different. Wide receivers

get shut out all the time. Tight ends may decide to spend all Sunday blocking instead of catching. There just aren’t many sure things. The key early on in the season is to get a feel for your team. Feel your way through tough decisions on who to start and who to sit. Trust your gut more than the numbers. And most importantly, listen to your doctor.

If he does nothing, then you still got the privilege of paying attention to Stevie Johnson — a man who blamed God after a dropped pass and who celebrated a touchdown against the Jets by fake shooting himself in the leg (a joke at Plaxico Burress). Win or lose, watching Stevie Johnson is a treat.

terback Sam Bradford, and he’s only two weeks removed from a 15 catch effort against the Redskins. But I still don’t trust him. One, Amendola has done next to nothing in his NFL career until this season. Two, it’s the Rams. And three, they’re playing a topnotch defense in the Seattle Seahawks. Stay away from Amendola, at least for this week. Roger Goodell (commissioner, NFL) — This one doesn’t have anything to do with fantasy football (unless you’re in some bizarre, amazing league), but what’s a Week Four NFL column without a mention of the atrocities happening to the professional game right now? The only person who would “start” the commissioner is Golden Tate. Sit Goodell. Put him on your bench and keep him there forever because Roger Goodell is as reliable in the fantasy game as he is at improving the game of football. Put him on your bench and let Goodell get a taste of what it is like to be a replacement.

A.J. Green (wide receiver, Cincinnati Bengals) — This one should go without saying. Green may very well join that top tier of players after this season. The Bengals have scored points at will these past two weeks, and Green is far and away the favorite target of quarterback Andy Dalton. Plus, the Bengals are playing the lowly Jaguars.

Darren Sproles (running back, New Orleans Saints) — The head coach-less/winless Saints have been so shaky this season that I’m scared to recommend anything involving the team, but I feel good about Sproles. He gets too many touches not to produce. I’m guessing a few carries, a few more catches, 100 total yards and a touchdown. Start this little fella. Chris Johnson (running back, Tennessee Titans) — Just kidding. Stevie Johnson (wide receiver, Buffalo Bills) — I could tell you how Stevie is notorious for his hot starts early on and how he’ll carry the momentum from his productive fi rst three games into Buffalo’s Week Four matchup with the New England Patriots, but what you really need to know is that starting Stevie Johnson goes beyond fanta-

Andre Brown (running back, New York Giants) — Brown had a huge game fi lling in for the injured Ahmad Bradshaw last week, but all signs point to Bradshaw returning this Sunday. Brown’s role in the Giants’ backfield is too uncertain to play him this week. Tony Romo (quarterback, Dallas Cowboys) — Through three weeks, Tony Romo has been turnover prone. Through three weeks, the Chicago Bears have nine takeaways. Can you guess what happens in Week Four? Danny Amendola (wide receiver, St. Louis Rams) — Amendola is the favorite target of quar-

wrestling, he briefly got sidetracked during the summer. He couldn’t resist accepting the invitation to train with one of the premier MMA gyms in the world. Blanton, who has been interested in MMA since high school, spent eight days with Jackson’s and Winkeljohns’ Mixed Martial Arts in Albuquerque, N.M. Greg Jackson’s and Mike Winkeljohns’ gym is widely considered the greatest MMA camp in the world. “Everybody was really cool there,” Blanton said. “Every-

body was eager to learn. “I went with Keith Jardine, Andre Arlovski, Jon Jones ... countless other guys who are on their way up that I just haven’t quite heard of yet, but you know, so many studs. All different shapes and sizes and all different skills,” he said. “I’m a fan of watching and training with high-level athletes and that’s what those guys are. They were great and they gave a lot back, too.” Jones, in particular, left an impression on Blanton. “Just being around Jon Jones,

he’s got a wrestler’s heart,” Blanton said. “He’s just a tough, tough dude. He’s also a very athletic dude, almost a freak of nature. He’s for real. That lifestyle, he’s getting paid, he’s making a living just being a bad dude that wants to train hard and gets to go out and have fun and fight.” Blanton’s roots with Jackson’s and Winkeljohns’ gym stems from his relationships with its wrestling coach, Israel Martinez, and UFC lightweight Clay Guida. Martinez has coached Blan-

ton since he was in high school, beginning at Izzy Style Wrestling, a comprehensive training program located in Schaumburg, Ill. Some of the best wrestlers in the country have wrestled at Izzy Style, including Iowa’s All-American Tony Ramos. Martinez witnessed Blanton, his long-time student, compete at a high level, even against world-class athletes while training in Albuquerque. “When he focuses his energy and he really wants to commit his life to it, Jordan Blanton is probably unbeatable,” Mar-

tinez said. “Jackson’s MMA is the best gym in the world, but Jordan Blanton’s one of the best wrestlers in the world. He beats fighters that have to be good at a lot of different things. So some of them lack wrestling and when Jordan goes in there, and even though they’re the best fi ghters in the world, Jordan goes in there and rips them apart in wrestling. “He impressed a lot of people.”

was the moment that validated that the Bulldogs meant business. Patton’s touchdown turned out to be the fi rst of 31 consecutive points. The other interesting second-half stat is Louisiana Tech scored as many points in the fourth quarter as Illinois did all game. Those types of scoring bursts and disparities are the reason Illinois’ 2-2 record is so frustrating and unimpressive. In its four nonconference games, Illinois allowed 104 points, which comes out to 26 points per game. Problem is, the Illini have allowed 97 of those points to two opponents.

still are that zone, power, run football team,” Beckman said. “I would say that they’re very evenly distributed in what they’re doing offensively.” The numbers don’t depict an even distribution. Penn State ranks 88th in rushing offense and has yet to break a run of 20 yards or more this season. Banks said the key to the game would be causing pressure up front. If Illinois can force McGloin to throw the ball quickly, the defense will be able to eliminate the big plays. It won’t hurt to have Hull and Sanni roaming the secondary, either. “I feel a lot better,” Hull said. “I feel like I’m not holding anything back, which is a big thing. I feel 100 percent better.”

HOCKEY

since his freshman year provides Clarke with a wealth of experience that not many boast. The main difference this year, though, is that the Illini are fully giving Clarke the reigns between the pipes, with the graduation of Dan Rooney last year. Unlike the forwards, who go to work in shootouts in complete silence, Clarke faces his foe with a horde of fans at the Big Pond screaming their lungs out. It presents a foil to the rest of the game; the forwards score their goals with lots of flash and acclaim, while the goaltender sits in the crease and takes care of business. The opposing attacker may be able to block out the fans and their distractions, though he can only attempt to avoid the goaltender.
