‘Before I die’: A bucket list in chalk
Student senators say cost of college is too expensive as an alternative to attending a university for their first two years, said Tom Ryder, lobbyist for the Illinois Community College Board. Ryder said 65 percent of students in Illinois attend community college. These students come from a diverse background including first-generation traditional students, as well as non-traditional students, such as single mothers and people in the workforce looking to improve their credentials, he said. He emphasized that while the majority of Illinois students attend community college, community colleges only receive 16 percent of the state’s available funds for financial aid. Ryder urged the panel to consider opening up more of its budget to assist students in community college. “You are not going to be able to have two out of three students going to (community college) to pursue higher education but then provide (little) state funding,� Hays said in agreement. Illinois Student Senator Tony Fiorentino, graduate student in Law, brought to the panel’s attention that student loans were becoming a source of profit for lenders. The federal government is making a profit of $184 billion from federal student loans, he said, even after accounting for loans that students defaulted on. “I think the biggest contributor is the fact that every consumer right and bankruptcy protection has been taken away from student borrowers, and only student borrowers,� Fiorentino said. “Student loan debt is the only kind that can be collected from the student for the rest of his life, no matter what kind of circumstances the student finds himself in. This allows for

Student senator Rachel Heller’s grandfather had an opportunity that she was not afforded — he was able to pay his way through college by working full time. But with the cost of college today, she said, that is simply not a viable option for students. State Sen. Mike Frerichs, D-52, hosted a college affordability hearing in the Illini Union to discuss the student debt crisis Wednesday. At the hearing, a panel consisting of state representatives Chad Hays, R-Danville, and Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, as well as state senators Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, and Frerichs, heard from students and administrators regarding student debt. Katharine Gricevich, director of government relations at the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, began by explaining grants offered to students. Gricevich said Illinois ranks fifth in the nation for the highest average student fees at the university level — the national average tuition and fees comes to $8,244 while Illinois’ average is just under $12,000. Among the federal financial aid offered to students are Pell Grants and the Monetary Award Program. These forms of aid offered to students are need-based and are not repaid by the student. According to ISAC, Illinois awarded students $411.6 million in 2012 through MA P grants, and Gricevich said 40 percent of these funds went to public universities. Nearly $24 million was awarded to students attending for-profit colleges — state money that is padding the wallets of investors, Rose said. “To spend that kind of money (on for-profit schools) ... is unconscionable,� he said. More Illinois students are looking to community college

House pushes bill to cut SNAP funding Bill could cut $39 billion from program in next decade; qualifications more strict BY ZILA RENFRO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
People with low food security may be facing troublesome times due to a bill pushed by House Republicans on Sept. 19 that could potentially cut SNAP funding by $39 billion in the next decade. SNAP, or Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, is a government-funded organization formerly known as the Food Stamp program that helps people with low income pay for food. About 48 million Americans utilize SNAP benefits, according to the Food Research and Action Center. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that with this bill, the number would decrease to about 34 million by 2023. The new bill also tightens restrictions on who can receive SNAP benefits. According to the bill, adults without children must find a job or go through a work-training program in order to receive SNAP benefits, whereas before, many could provide a waiver. Some people who are already enrolled in government welfare programs will no longer be able to receive benefits. The Champaign-Urbana community would not be untouched by these changes. According to a 2010 review done by the Food and Research Action Center, 18,940 people, or 10 percent, of

the Champaign County population participate in the SNAP program. Illinois was one of three states with the highest personlevel increase in SNAP participation in 2013. Many of these include families with young children. Donna Camp, director of the Wesley Evening Food Pantry in Urbana, said she often sees families who utilize SNAP come into the pantry. “Families with children mostly know what is healthy and want the best for their kids,� she said. “But when ... the car breaks down and you either get the car fixed so that you can go to work and continue to earn money, or buy the best food for your children, that’s an awful choice to have to make. And so SNAP can make the difference.� Using SNAP benefits can also mean the difference in obtaining necessary household items. In 2011, a team of researchers from the University’s Family Resiliency Center conducted interviews with low-income families as part of a nationwide survey by Feeding America. The study, released this September, found that American families are struggling to afford not only food, but also essential household goods such as laundry detergent, paper towels and diapers. “Many of these families are going without basic household
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program sees benefits increase The amount of money spent on SNAP benefits has increased by more than $1.4 billion since 2008. Because of natural disasters, Illinois became the state with the highest SNAP personal-level increase from June 2012-June 2013.

needs like toothpaste, soap and other household necessities for personal hygiene, like diapers, that can have consequences for their health,� said Barbara Fiese, director of the Family Resiliency Center. “Any time that you’re able to support people in getting food, then they can use some of those funds to procure some other household needs that they might have.� Whether a person has low food security or lacks the ability to buy household goods, trying to obtain the essentials has a significant emotional impact on those affected. Comments made
on the survey indicate that people want to maintain the appearance of normalcy, even if they are struggling. An anonymous source from the survey said, “I had to use hygiene products in public bathrooms to freshen up and not make us look homeless.� SNAP benefits and food from pantries alleviate some of that stress. “The relief when people walk out of here with two or three bags of groceries ... it’s really amazing,� Camp said.

New requirements set for future power plants To decrease carbon dioxide emissions, rules are being set on new plants BY ELEANOR BLACK STAFF WRITER
Rep. Rodney Davis, R-13, released a statement on Sep. 20 condemning an announcement made by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding new standards for carbon emissions for power plants. The standards, proposed by the EPA, would only affect new power plants. According to the proposal, new coal-burning power plants would have to capture about 40 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions. In his statement, Davis called the proposal a “war on coal and a war on jobs� in Illinois. He said he’s concerned that although the proposed standards only apply to new power plants, the EPA could turn its attention toward existing plants. “This rule totally ignores the fact that today’s
coal-fired power plants are exponentially more advanced, cleaner and more efficient than those of just a few years ago,� he said. “It’s very clear that once the EPA sets rules for new power plants, it will turn its attention to rules for existing power plants, which is an extremely dangerous path for America’s energy future and independence.� Andrew Flach, Davis’ communication director, said in an email that Davis’ opposition is related to the availability of the equipment needed to uphold the standards. “The proposal would require new coal-fired power plants to install commercially unavailable equipment to limit emissions,� he said. “Again, this equipment cannot be obtained, so it’s a ban

STUDENT DEBT Svarious abuses and predatory practices.� Scott Humphrey, Graduate Employees Organization member, spoke briefl y about the socioeconomic impact of the increasing cost of education. Because financial aid awarded to students is so little compared to the cost of attending a university, many would-be students simply do not have the option to pursue an education at a four-year university, he said. In front of the panel, Heller, a junior in LAS, shared her concerns about the rising costs of attending a university in Illinois. “Students can no longer

afford school, even when working full-time,� Heller said. She also mentioned that estimated parental contributions — the amount the government expects parents to pay based on their income — is unrealistic. She said her mother cannot afford to pay what the state is asking. “Bad politics got us into this mess, so only good politics is going to get us out, and we certainly cannot leave this in the hands of Congress; we’ve seen that they’re not going to act unless students force their hand,� Fiorentino said. “It’s not until we are really willing to get together and cooperate at a grass roots level that we’re going to see real change.�

EPA on new coal-fi red plants — a real gamble on our economic and energy future.� Members of the registered student organization Students for Environmental Concerns (SECS) have been working on the movement away from coal to natural gas-powered plants on the University’s campus. Peter Whitney, junior in ACES, and Drew O’Bryan, junior in Engineering and LAS, are currently co-leaders of the Beyond Coal campaign within SECS. The campaign started as the Coal Group in 2009, and its mission of getting the University off of coal was successful. The Illinois Climate Action Plan was passed in 2011, and the Univer-
sity promised to stop burning coal at Abbott Power Plant by 2017. Steve Breitwieser, the media communications specialist at Abbott, said the plant has been able to reduce coal consumption by almost 50 percent since 2009. In regards to switching to natural gas, Breitwieser said that a plan is still being set. “A utilities master plan is currently being completed,� he said. “The utilities master plan is studying this issue and will provide options and recommendations that will be used as a basis for future planning.� The success of Beyond Coal’s fi rst campaign led the group to focus on the divestment movement. “Essentially, our project is working to get the University of Illinois — which is all three
campuses, Champaign-Urbana, Chicago and Springfi eld — to divest, or to remove their investments from the ‘Filthy 15’ coal utility and mining companies,� Whitney said. “The Illinois Student Senate, which is technically the voice of the student body here at Illinois, has voted yes on a divestment proposal, which has been largely ignored by the University administration and Board of Trustees.� Right now, those advocating the campaign are working to apply pressure to the Board of Trustees through various actions on campus and by “building (their) base,� O’Bryan said. He added that there was some truth to Davis’ statement, though maybe not in the way that was intended. “I think that Representative Davis is honestly right when

he says that it’s a war on coal,� O’Bryan said. “But it’s not a war on the workers, it’s a war on the coal industry and the tactics that the coal industry uses in targeting ... and polluting the air, the water (and) the people around.� Though he did not completely agree with Davis’ statement, Whitney said that it was an understandable viewpoint. “A big part of the environmental movement is trying to make people like Rep. Davis understand that it’s not a war on employees, it’s not a war on workers, it’s not a war on jobs,� he said. “We’re trying to create more jobs, we’re trying to create a better future for everybody.�

In midst of record enrollment, MTD sees increase in rides
University-contracted company contemplates future solutions to accommodate new passengers during peak season CONTRIBUTING WRITER
“Do you feel like a sardine in a can?� The ad plays from the speakers, promoting the Champaign-Urbana MTD marketing campaign that advises students to leave 10-15 minutes earlier to avoid congested buses. The driver runs a hand over his face and mumbles about the traffic. “Thank you for riding MTD!� It’s the beginning of the second rush of the day, 3:30 p.m. The 22 Illini is relatively calm for now, but soon it will be swarmed with more students than seats and will have arguably less room than a sardine can. As the University saw record enrollment this year, MTD has seen increases in ridership as well, said Jan Kijowski, MTD marketing director. Keeping to schedule has become a problem for some buses, she said. “That’s been a challenge ... because the more often we stop and the more number of riders that board at stops slow down the routes,� Kijowski said. Every day, each MTD bus sees an average of 57,000 rides, but this can vary month-to-month. Kijowski said the average peaks
in October and February. But for five days with considerably good weather early in September, each bus had an average of 60,000 rides. She said MTD officials are worried some days, buses may see more than 64,000 passengers when bad weather begins to set in. Kijowski said September has become the third-highest month ever for MTD ridership, with more than 1.3 million rides in total. While buses are not constantly carrying heavy loads, key times of the day, such as 7 to 9 a.m., 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and ten minutes before the hour on weekdays prove to be quite hectic. “We can see down to the stop level how many people are getting on and off the buses,� Kijowski said. “In our control center, the staff can see in real-time how buses are performing on their routes.� Standby buses are at the ready in case buses fall too far behind schedule, Kijowski said, noting MTD’s recent marketing campaign that encourages students who live at busy areas, such as Ikenberry Commons, the One North apartments on North Lincoln Avenue and Pennsylvania Avnue Residence halls, to board
earlier buses. “Generally speaking, it works out to be about 70 percent of our ridership is University of Illinois generated, and that includes students, faculty and staff,� Kijowski said. She said 102 buses are currently in the MTD system, and the addition of older buses is a possibility, although major change would not occur until August 2014. MTD is in its second year of a three-year contract, and no immediate changes are planned. While routing changes may seem imminent, budget complications may prevent immediate revisions as the hiring of new drivers is brought into question — more buses, more drivers. Kijowski said the board has not suggested raising the semester-based student fare that allows students unlimited rides, although it may be an option to consider because campus ridership is the cause for the change. As a result of the spring 2012 referenda, students agreed to pay $52 per semester for the 2012-13 academic year, $54 for the 201314 academic year and $59 for the 2014-15 academic year, Kijowski said in an email. She noted that MTD was able to add a fourth

Additionally, Kijowski said more students may be taking the bus because fewer are bringing their cars to campus. Dorsey Moore, of Champaign Auto Repair, said he has seen a declining number of students coming in for car repair. “We haven’t seen as many repairs coming in from students than we did last year and the year before,� he said. “Last year we’d probably get three or four a week compared to this one, where we’re getting maybe one a week, if that.� In 2009, the annual MTD bus pass fee was lowered from $235 to $60, Kijowski said. She added that the country is seeing the tail end of the recession. As a result, parents may not be sending their children to campus with cars for reasons including tuition increases and the recession’s pressures. “I don’t think anyone knows with complete certainty exactly what is the biggest factor, but it’s a combination of all of those things,� Kijowski said.

Former National Science Foundation director presented in chancellor’s speaker series BY ETHAN DUNHAM CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A former director of the National Science Foundation gave the fi nal presentation in the chancellor’s speaker series on the future of research universities Wednesday. Subra Suresh, the former director of the NSF, spoke to students and faculty about the creation of the foundation, and the technological innovations and advancements it has sponsored since its formation in 1950. Suresh also discussed how research opportunities, like the ones here at the University, have given rise to technology that has changed the world. According to Suresh, the Morrill
Act of 1862 was the fi rst time government funding had been given to public educational institutes, like the University of Illinois, and had been divided for agricultural and engineering research. Suresh explained that the following year, the National Academy of Science was created, thus beginning the relationship between government funding and research in the field of science. After the NSF was created, researchers could then receive research grants to investigate new areas of science. The agency was created with the goal of developing science as a whole, therefore, it was often called “a non-mission
agency by some people in Washington,� Suresh said. This sort of open-ended defi nition of science is what Suresh believes to be the backbone of student researchers. “A good idea that may have no application today may end up changing the world thirty years from now,� he said. “We put a man on the moon before we put wheels on the suitcase.� Douglas H. Beck, a physics professor at the University, invited Suresh to attend the chancellors’ speaker series. “Subra Suresh was chosen for the series because of his long and distinguished career as a teacher, sci-

ED I TORIAL Faculty hiring arrives at a time of uncertainty for UI
JOHNIVAN DARBY THE DAILY ILLINI
T
he University is hiring faculty once again, a much needed initiative considering this year marks the lowest faculty size in nearly 10 years. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean that the newly hired faculty will be compensated appropriately. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal crisis in recent years has left the University with 250 fewer tenured faculty members than in 2008. The decrease in tenured faculty was a confluence of the deeply underfunded pension system that continues to grow and the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hesitance to refill retired faculty positions because of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unreliability when it comes to the funds it makes available to the University. But now the plan is to rebuild, filling those faculty positions slowly but maturely. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that there is a growing need for more faculty members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both professors and teaching assistants. Recent data show that students are enrolled in larger classes with more and more students; the student-to-faculty ratio was around 15.4 throughout last decade but increased to 17.6 students last year. The University recognized this disturbing trend: more students, less teachers. Chancellor Phyllis Wise told The Daily Illini that these numbers led the University to explore changes. This blueprint starts to take effect this year as the University is planning to hire 170 new faculty members this academic year and 500 in total throughout the next five to seven years, according to the Visioning Future Excellence Report unveiled this summer. This is a promising sign of confidence from top University officials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to what degree remains unknown. But the bigger question is: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed? Well, not much. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassing financial situation surely isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any different now than it was last year. Until lawmakers can accomplish something in session â&#x20AC;&#x201D; first and foremost the long broken State Universities Retirement System, nothing is keeping more faculty from leaving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or not coming here at all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a time when their future benefits are up in the air. Top faculty and administrators have the right idea: Salaries need to be on par with other public peer universities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Michigan-Ann Arbor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both of which have similar student body sizes and research activity. This is something that has been stressed for quite some time now. A general salary program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after years of not having one and even one year when many employees had to take pay cuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could have contributed toward keeping some departures at bay, but the disturbing trend wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change until thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some sense of urgency in the Illinois General Assembly. The need for professors is obvious: If the University wants to continue expanding while maintaining its toptier, research-intensive status then additional faculty must be brought in to compensate. We support the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to action to hire more faculty. Now we call on lawmakers to listen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to realize whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on at the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship institution. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple: Just look at the numbers.
Leaders, roll up your sleeves and speak plainly ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist
B
efore I begin, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d first like to say how much I adore the work of Samuel L. Jackson. I thought he brought a whole new dimension to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Django Unchained,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pulp Fictionâ&#x20AC;? remains one of my favorite movies of all time. Just hearing him drop the f-bomb makes me as giddy as the proverbial schoolgirl. That being said, I must take issue with one of Mr. Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent public statements. In an interview with Playboy last Thursday, Jackson criticized President Obama for dropping his gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in speeches to try and sound down to earth: â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, we know it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;relate.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Be a leader. Be f------ presidential.â&#x20AC;? This down-to-earth style has gained Obama recognition throughout his political career. If you look at campaigns in the
modern era, you are seeing an increasing number of politicians with Ivy League backgrounds rolling up their sleeves and trying to sound like average Joes. Some pull it off better than others, but trying to engage the public is certainly nothing new. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad thing. Mr. Jackson continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, I grew up in a society where I could say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What it beâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to my friends. But when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f------ conjugate.â&#x20AC;? I think this represents a larger misconception about how leaders should communicate. The people who influence change are not necessarily the smartest or most educated; they are the ones who can best connect with the public, which sometimes requires them to sound extravagant or phony, even. We saw this in John Kerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election campaign in 2004. Kerry is a brilliant man, but he speaks at a very high level and is often

a greater discussion to occur, which is critical to strengthening our democracy. This goes far beyond just politics. All good communication depends on conveying complex ideas in simple language, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way professors interact with their students or the way that managers present information in business meetings. Breaking through jargon and getting to the heart of the matter is important for stimulating engagement and knowledge, ultimately leading to better decisions and actions. Now, on the matter of Mr. Jackson, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave you with two thoughts and two questions: One: Samuel Jackson is an eccentric thespian who effectively captivates his audiences. Two: Sam Jackson is a bad ass who is freakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entertaining. Which statement is more professional? Which are you more likely to remember?

Sloppy social media use bad for you and your resume NICKI HALENZA Assistant opinions editor
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Friday night. And this particular week has been long, busy and stressful. You want to throw your backpack in the deepest, darkest corner of your room and not see or touch it again until Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or preferably until never. Your good friend George had a rough week as well. You both decide to kick off the weekend at Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and soon the night becomes a little rowdier than you planned. The following Monday, leave it to good old George to have posted a Facebook photo of you. In the photo, you are sprawled on the ground wearing last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Halloween costume, gently cradling a bottle of Jack Daniels. Your social media popularity soars as the Facebook photo reaches 60 likes. However, it might not all be worth it in the end because that photo was seen by way more people than you wanted it to. And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say you probably arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to get that job you applied for. According to an article from the Chicago Tribune, an increasing number of employers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up to 63 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are using social media
sites to judge potential employees. While this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new knowledge to any college students, it is a fact that has contributed to creating our online personas. Regardless of the fact that employers are looking at our Facebook pages, we should still be conducting ourselves in a tasteful manner online. The ways in which we conduct ourselves on the Internet is important in many different realms. Our motives on Facebook are usually either to portray a certain image of ourselves or to differentiate ourselves by coming off as unique. Obviously we are not all going to upload unflattering pictures we have taken. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always consciously choose to post pictures where all five of our chins are visible. And for the most part, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t post all 100 of our â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I would say â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shameful selfies. We aim to portray ourselves in the most positive light that we can. Our social media pages should act as our social resumes. We are constantly editing, deleting and posting things that are relevant to and representative of who we are in a way that is appealing to our social media friends. Granted, my idea of displaying my perfect online portrait is posting corny jokes that only a five year old could appreciate, as well as quotes from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Officeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just me.
QUICK
COMMENTARY
Some might say that by constantly tweaking our profiles to make us look a certain way we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t representing a true, honest version of who we are. But why should your Facebook profile be a mirror image of who you are in real life anyway? If you are actually able to capture the very essence of every fiber of your being on a Facebook profile, then you are doing life wrong. Unless we are completely changing our identities or pulling a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catfishâ&#x20AC;? by fooling people into believing we are someone that we are not, then refining our online selves shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem. A big indicator of our Facebook identity comes from pictures. I particularly enjoy Facebook on Sunday nights as photos of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend trickle in and I get to laugh and cringe at the captured moments of a night that was just a little too fun. With that in mind, posting appropriate pictures, statuses and comments should be part of our online refinement process. Especially because we tend to forget that we are Facebook friends with a random assortment of relatives and other adults who act as our parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spies. While, yes, we do have this virtual medium to present ourselves in any way we like, we need to be conscious of how much we let people see, because it can lead to unintended vulnerability. And this is not to say that we
canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take those goofy, classless photos and laugh at the expense of our friends, but a social network â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where potentially thousands of people can see your profile and use your information â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not necessarily the right venue for that. Put all of the horrible, trashy pictures you have into your own personal scrapbook that you can bring out in the privacy of your own home and embarrass your friends face-to-face. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a right place and a right time to show your true colors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not all of your colors should go online. Ultimately, Facebook and other social media are fun and interactive forums where we can share and connect with our friends. But at the same time, we do not need to put every detail, thought and photo from our life online for others to see â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially because of how many different people are able to access this information. If we are already conducting ourselves appropriately online, then it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter that employers are looking at our Facebook profiles. We should be able to confidently log into our social media accounts without the threat of heavy criticism breathing down our necks.

A politician should be able to convey his views and ideas to his constituents. The average citizen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to listen to a stuffy scholar reciting the dynamics of policy making. Instead people want a clear and concise message that inspires them to act. If anything, Obama should be celebrated on this front, not criticized. And is Jackson really the ideal person to make this critique? His Playboy interview contained more f-words than I was willing to count. His acting career is based on him speaking provocatively to engage audiences. Even his famous support ad for Obama in 2012 contained a healthy dose of profanity. Sure, Sam Jackson isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the president, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the point. Politicians need to engage the public so that Americans are encouraged to voice their own views.

Plan a weekend full of unique activities BY JOLIE HUANG STAFF WRITER
Between studying for midterms and keeping up with registered student organization commitments, it may seem as there is not enough time to enjoy the beginning of the fall season. However, if students are able to find a free moment, they can turn to this list and enjoy the first weekend of October.
Thursday, Oct. 3 Stand Up Open Mic Night
rical mosaic,” and that the “results reveal that she is a journalist, not a purveyor of propaganda.” Featuring the personal lives of the women shadowed by war, the political drama brings a new perspective to the conflicts of Iraqi women. Students can purchase tickets online at krannertcenter. com or at Krannert’s ticket office.
Friday, Oct. 4 Wieners and Wine
For anyone who wants to cross stand-up comedy off their bucket list or just enjoy a night of laughter, the Clark Bar, located on 207 W. Clark St. in Champaign, offers newcomers and experienced comedians a low-key environment to get on stage and entertain. On every other Thursday night at 9 p.m., anyone is welcome to come on stage to test out jokes and sketches. An average stand-up night at the Clark Bar will deliver about 12 to 14 performances of varying talent, according to Clark Bar bartender Jeremy Kline. “This is because the event is an open mic, so less-experienced comedians come here to try out their jokes on us,” Kline said. “I’ve seen people who just suck their first time but after a few tries, it’s really kind of rewarding to see huge improvements.” If you want to perform, you must sign up in advance by emailing tuttlecomedy@yahoo.com. Otherwise, feel free to visit the Clark Bar for a night of comedy or visit at another time to enjoy visiting musicians the bar frequently brings in.
Students 21 and over who are equipped with a car can attend Wieners and Wine, a outdoor grilling and drinking event series on Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event will take place at Sleepy Creek Vineyards, which is approximately 30 minutes from Champaign in Fairmount, Ill. The food, which is the usual smorgasbord of grilling favorites such as hot dogs and burgers, will be free for every attendee who purchases a drink. Options include everything from Sleepy Creek’s homemade wines to slushies. “Three Amigos is one of our more popular homemade wines,” said Beau Watson, wine staff member at Sleepy Creek. “It’s a sweet red wine with a slight kick. I would predict that would be one of our best-sellers during Wieners and Wine.” Seating is first come, first serve, so attendees should arrive as early as possible. The series ends in October. Sleepy Creek is also open during the weekdays for tastings and event venue rentals. More information is available at sleepycreekvineyards.com
Thursday, Oct. 3- 5 9 Parts of Desire
Saturday, Oct. 5 Urbana’s Market at the Square
Students looking for an emotionally moving experience can go see “9 Parts of Desire,” which will be playing at the Krannert Studio Theatre at 7:30 p.m. throughout the weekend. The New Yorker describes this off-Broadway hit, written by Heather Raffo, as “an example of how art can remake the world.” The play follows the lives of nine Iraqi and Iraqi-American women from the First Gulf War to U.S. occupation. According to her website, Raffo was inspired to write this play by a trip to Baghdad’s National Museum of Modern Art in August 1993 when she realized the inner turmoil that women faced. The New Yorker said that “Raffo drew on more than 10 years of interviews to assemble her theat-
Established in 1979, this local farmers market takes place every Saturday on Illinois and Vine streets in downtown Urbana from 7 a.m. to noon. According to its website, “Urbana’s Market at the Square is actually one of the largest and most diverse farmers’ markets in Illinois, and helps demonstrate Urbana’s firm commitment to sustainability.” Many local sellers set up tables along the streets to display their fresh produce, meat, dairy and flowers. Linda Merryman brings fresh produce every week from her local farm, Claybank Farms. “I’m always surprised at the large amount of people who come to the market,” she said. “I think that’s really a testament to the fresh products that we have here.”
FROM 6A
AARON CARTER DI: What inspired you to go on a college tour? AC: Well, I mean a lot of my fans are in college right now that grew up with me. So, it’s just a good market, and I can really see everybody. And everybody’s been really cool. I’ve been doing a lot of college shows. Honestly, I have the best turn out, and thousands of people show up. It’s just incredible. DI: How did you prepare for this tour? AC: I got back with my band that’s toured with me for many years. We spend a lot of time focusing on what’s the best way to translate the songs, and how we can morph them into and make them into something new for myself. DI: What has been your favorite part of the tour so far? What are you looking forward to? AC: I guess it’s reconnecting with the fans that I haven’t seen for many, many years and meeting up with everybody. It’s really cool to see that I’ve grown up with everybody, and that’s probably my favorite part. I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time on the road and getting on different stages around the world — just reconnecting with the band. DI: Will there be any surprises at your show? AC: (Laughs) Well, if there were any surprises at the show, I wouldn’t tell you because then it wouldn’t be a surprise. DI: You have been performing since you were 7. How has your style of music progressed over the years? AC: It’s progressed a lot. I am still an artist, and I can write songs. I can produce beats. I learned how to do things that artists should really know how to do when it comes to being creative in that aspect. A lot of people didn’t believe in me — producers or writers or record companies. It took a long time for me to really get back out on the road. Once I performed over 400 shows with the off-Broadway production “The Fantasticks” in New York City, (and) it really proved and showed people, “Oh, wow! This kid really means business.” I’m a performer, and that’s what
Along with food vendors, artists and craft makers also bring their Illinois-made creations to the market. These products extend from woven décor to body care products. Even without making a purchase, it may be worth spending a couple of hours in downtown to explore the organic goods of Illinois. For more information on the vendors located at the Square, visit urbanaillinois.us/market.
Saturday, Oct. 6 C-U Community Fab Lab This hidden gem is one of the lesser-known creative attractions on campus. Located at the Art Annex 2 on S. Goodwin Avenue, the Champaign-Urbana Community Fab Lab is a workshop for computer-assisted design and innovation. Students and community members can walk into the lab during its open hours and design anything they want with graphic and 3D software. They can then create their designs in the very same lab utilizing DIY equipment. While all lab use is free of charge, participants may need to purchase certain supplies for their creations at the lab. The lab possesses unique tools such as laser engravers, drill presses, 3D printers, milling machines and even a Play Station. Though some visit the lab to complete design assignments, other comes for fun and use these tools to make items such as etched shot glasses, model airplanes and a dinosaur-shaped USB holder. A collection of the lab’s creations can be viewed on the Fab Lab’s Flickr page. “We usually have someone monitoring the lab who knows a lot about the tools,” said Andrew Knight, junior in Fine and Applied Arts. “We’re really here to help you make whatever your heart desires. So if you want to make a random flying contraption and you have no idea where to start, we will try to sit down with you and walk you through some steps.” This Sunday, the lab will be open to the public from 1 to 6 p.m. Students can also visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. and attend informal tutorial classes on various tools offered in the lab.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS
DI: The music industry is so tough to break into. How have you handled the challenges in your career? AC: One challenge at a time. I try not to take on too much that I can’t handle, and I try to deal with everything as it comes. It’s a complicated question, and I can give you a complicated answer. The best way for me to handle it is just to stay positive and remember the fans that I have out there and not pay attention to the naysayers. DI: Are you working on any projects lately aside from the tour? Are you going to debut any new music at the concert? AC: Yeah, absolutely. The focus right now is the music and tour, so that’s all where my head is at. Yes, there is new music, definitely. They will defi nitely be performed at the concert – 100 percent. DI: Do you have a drop date for a new album? AC: Not yet, but as soon as we get into the studio and start figuring that out, you’ll defi nitely know. DI: What has been the most memorable part of your career so far? AC: I would say that there was this one time where I had a big show, and this girl — she got into a car accident on the way to my show. She had really bad internal bleeding, and they were like, “Oh, give her a call; give her a call.” I said, “No. I want to go to the hospital to see her.” So, I had my crew take me to the hospital, and I went to visit her personally. Miraculously, she stopped bleeding internally after that. Once I realized, you know, “If I could have this kind of effect on people, this is what I’m about. This is what my life is about — to fi nd a way to be healing to people.” Although there might be a lot of people who might not need that, there are a lot of people out there who struggle with self-conscious issues and insecurities. It’s important for artists to recognize those peo-

BEARDO I do. A booking agent recognized that, and he said, “Hey, I see what you’re doing with ‘The Fantasticks,’ and I’m really interested in trying to book a tour for you.” He did it, and it’s amazing. It’s been a blessing, and it’s everything that I could ever want.
DAN DOUGHERTY
ple. That’s what I stand for, and that’s what I’m all about. DI: How was it growing up in a musical family? AC: It was amazing. My father played instruments, and he was a musician. My sister, Leslie – she passed away last year – was a very good musician, as well, and a very good artist. Obviously, my brother (Nick Carter) – it was a lot of fun. It was always a good time. DI: Would you say that family inspired you to become a musician and pursue a music career? AC: Yeah, I guess so. My mom and my dad inspired me a lot. They were defi nitely a big, significant aspect of my career. A lot of people don’t even realize this but (when) Nick was 13, he joined the Backstreet Boys, and when he was 14, I became an entertainer. I became a singer a year after my brother joined the Backstreet Boys. Nick and I have been doing it for the same amount of time. DI: What advice do you have for aspiring musicians and students in general? AC: Well, just stay focused. Keep going for your dreams and your goals. Never give up because you never know when something’s going to change — when something good is going to happen for you. I mean, look at Macklemore. He tried for 10 years, and no one believed in him. Then, all of a sudden, he saturated himself into the college market, and then, he blew up. He turned the haters into believers — or the people who didn’t even believe into believers. DI: Would you like to add anything else? AC: To the people who don’t know what I’m about, you have to come check me out before you have any room to say anything. You have to come see me. Come see what I’m about, and then, let me hear what you thought. There are a lot of people that don’t believe in me, but you know what, that doesn’t stop me.

The After Party BY F. AMANDA TUGADE STAFF WRITER

ong before Justin Bieber, One Direction, The Wanted and Mindless Behavior, the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and early new millennium brought a wave of memorable pop talent for tweens and teens in the form of Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, Boyz II Men and the one and only: Aaron Carter. With his frosted gold locks perfectly placed in a bed-head hairstyle, oversized shirts and momapproved saggy pants, Aaron Carter taught his fans how to beat Shaq during a game of pick-up basketball and about the troubles of throwing a house party. Even though Carter has stepped out of the music spotlight for the last few years, the 25-year-old performer has embarked on a nationwide tour, appropriately named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The After Party tour.â&#x20AC;? The Daily Illini recently interviewed Carter about his upcoming Oct. 5 show at The Canopy Club, his tour and his comeback to the stage. The Daily Illini: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming to campus. Could you talk a little bit about your tour? Aaron Carter: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically kind of like a researching of all of the tours that I have done in the past, and not a lot of the fans have seen me since I was younger. I make it into a new, more mature, more sophisticated version of the songs that everyone knows. I do â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aaronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party.â&#x20AC;?

Casey James to perform at Foellinger Auditorium BY DECLAN HARTY STAFF WRITER
For the first time in its 120-yearold history, Star Course will be bringing a country music artist to perform at Foellinger Auditorium on Thursday: Casey James. Star Course, the oldest registered student organization on campus, has brought some of the most iconic names in the music industry to the University campus, including Louis Armstrong (three times, in fact), Bruce Springsteen, the Beach Boys and the Black Eyed Peas. However, visiting country artists are few and far between, and have been absent in recent decades. That is, until Thursday evening at 8 p.m., when country music star and American Idol alumnus, Casey James, will perform. Casey Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance is the inaugural concert for Star

Course this school year. While Star Course has brought in countryaffiliated musicians before, such as Sheryl Crow, Casey James will be the first that is known mainly as a country musician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Crow) was more of a pop artist before ... we brought her before she was country,â&#x20AC;? said Jessica Banovz, one of Star Courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior managers and a senior in Business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our first country show with a big country artist.â&#x20AC;? When asked about being Star Courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first country artist, James said he was appreciative of the opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge honor,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always an honor to play at a venue where someone asks you to come perform. Even more so, there are people who have been there before me who are obviously amazing and legendary, like Elton John and The Rolling Stones. It is a

pretty high bar, and I am just glad to be mentioned in the same sentence as those two acts.â&#x20AC;? Currently on his national tour, James also has been accompanying a variety of artists on their own tours. James was recently on Taylor Swiftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RED tour, performing in Sacramento, Los Angeles and Wichita, Kan. James said he learned a lot from touring with other artists over the past few years. He said that as an artist, watching another musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance can assist in how he performs in his shows. He is able to see how crowds react to the pace of the shows and the music throughout the concerts. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening act is Corey Crowder, an aspiring country artist and a longtime friend of James. Crowder, who has performed with James before this tour, is originally from Covington, Ga. Crowderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
music first came to fame when he was featured on hit TV shows such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real World,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Biggest Loser.â&#x20AC;? Together, James and Crowder will be the first two country music performers to be brought to campus by Star Course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of country, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see too many shows,â&#x20AC;? said Hannah Ahn, one of Star Courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public relations managers and a junior in Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a great opportunity for the school as a whole to come out.â&#x20AC;? Many country music fans said they appreciate the opportunity to see their favorite genre live. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really excited to see him,â&#x20AC;? said Shea McCarthy, sophomore in Engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it is a great concert, and I have been listening to his music all day.â&#x20AC;?

James said the past few years for him have been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;whirlwind,â&#x20AC;? as he has been on tour for approximately a year following the release of his album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally starting to slow down to the point where I can look back and think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow this has all happened, but it has been amazing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? James said. Before the success of his 2012 self-titled album, James was a young aspiring musician from Cool, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a town of 159 people located outside of Fort Worth, Texas. His life had a major turning point in 2009 when his mother suggested that he audition for American Idol. James sang and performed with his guitar on the ninth season and placed third. James said American Idol was
an experience that he will never forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave me the opportunities that I have gotten since then. At the beginning, it opens the doors and it is up to you once that happens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to work hard and you have to want it,â&#x20AC;? James said of his success from the show. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance at Foellinger on Thursday will be his first concert on a college campus since his successful album release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited to come out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the more the merrier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I always stay after. If anyone wants to meet me or get a picture or autograph, I am more than happy to stay for everybody,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(When) it is an opportunity for music to be played, I am always the first to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let me do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Cyclones forward Jon Feavel led his team in points last season (40) and already has two goals and six assists in the 201314 campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a threat for the Illini to watch for early in each game. Feavel has scored half of his points during the first periods of Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six games thus far. On Saturday night against Michigan State, Illinois failed to set up in the offensive zone for the first seven minutes of the game before senior Kevin Chowaniec was finally able to put one in the net. Though the Illini have been able to pull away from teams late, as they did later that game when they added five goals in the third period, Fabbrini said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned with the early opportunities the Illini have left open for their opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been starting games flat lately and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to change,â&#x20AC;?

The defining month in the Illini hockey teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule is about to begin. No. 6 Illinois (6-0) will start CSCHL conference play as they host No. 8 Iowa State this weekend, entering a five-week test that sees them face half of the ACHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 10 teams. In the next five weeks of their homestand, the Illini will play consecutive weekends against No. 2 Arizona State, No. 7 Robert Morris (Ill.), No. 3 Lindenwood and No. 9 Ohio before finally getting a weekend off in early November. This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series will see two high-scoring teams clash on the Big Pond. Illinois has scored 39 goals in six games (averaging 6.5 goals per game), while Iowa State has scored 45 (averaging 7.5 per game). The teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defenses are nearly even for goals allowed as well, with Iowa State at 12 goals in six games and Illinois at 15. Illinois will also welcome back senior captains Austin Bostock and Mike Evans, who combined for 67 points last season. Evans played two shifts in the third period of Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Michigan State, but
Bostock never dressed for either matchup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a decision Bostock said he made in order to get more practice time in before this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series against No. 8 Iowa State. Head coach Nick Fabbrini compared the effect of the captains return to a pair of big free agency pickups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about adding some of our best players and leaders,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right when we get into the teeth of our schedule, so the sooner we can get the both of those guys back up to speed again, the better.â&#x20AC;? In their absence, sophomore John Olen and freshman Cody von Rueden have filled in offensively, leading the team in goals (5) while senior Eddie Quagliata has added a team-leading six assists. Fabbrini praised Olenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive consistency throughout the beginning of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been our best player, if not one of our best players, for the past year now,â&#x20AC;? Fabbrini said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says a lot about him that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still scoring goals when pretty much every team knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our main goal scorer.â&#x20AC;?

his past Tuesday, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics head coach Justin Spring announced his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule for the 2013-2014 season, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a doozy. First of all; Michigan, Michigan, Michigan. The Wolverines are coming off their second national team title in four years and are always competitive. Illinois will face the Blue and Maize at the NCAA Championships in April, which will be hosted in, wait for it, Ann Arbor of course. Ohio State is also a force to be reckoned with in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnastics. The Buckeyes commanded attention in the early 2000s, winning the title or coming in second almost every year from 2000 to 2005. Talk about monopolizing the competition. OSU will be Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first Big Ten test as they come to Champaign relatively early in the season. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nebraska. Illinois travels to Omaha for its regular season finale March 15, where they will take on the Cornhuskers. Nebraska is a storied program, holding eight national championships and effectively dominating NCAA competition during the 70s and 80s.
Oh, but when the competition is fierce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it will be this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gymnastics is so much fun to watch. The athletes practically ooze adrenaline, firing up the whole arena. Picture it: a stuck landing, a roar of triumph and high-fives all around. The atmosphere is electric, and fans are on the edges of their seats, holding their breath as they watch the athletes seemingly defy gravity. And they make it look so easy. Flipping and twisting to perfection to land that triple full on floor? No biggie. Keeping perfect poise and concentration of pommel horse? Piece of cake. Gymnasts have to be so extremely disciplined. I would venture to say gymnastics is one of, if not the most, technical sports there is. I was a gymnastics coach for years. I observed girls and boys train relentlessly every day from a very young age, competing for national titles and a chance to represent a top-tier university. But mostly I just watched in awe while herding kindergartners through obstacle courses, usually thinking to myself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, I wish I could do that.â&#x20AC;? The 2012-13 season was a strange one for the Illini. There was injury, disappointment and ultimately success in the form of freshman phenom Fred Hartville. But the future looks promising. Not only has Illinois
advanced to the final round of the NCAA championships for each of the last 11 years, but they return many key players as well. 2013 vault champ Hartville returns to defend his title, and all-around gymnast C.J. Maestas makes his comeback after suffering a devastating tricep injury last December that sidelined him for the entire season. Also looking to make an impression early in his Illinois career is Chandler Eggleston. Though a rookie to collegiate gymnastics, this freshman is no stranger to high stakes competition. Eggleston was a member of the 2013 U.S. Junior National Team, winning floor exercise and vault at the Junior Olympics. Eggleston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with Illinois teammate Matt Foster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was also named to the 2013-14 Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior National Team. The Illini officially open their season Dec. 8 with the annual Orange and Blue exhibition at Huff Hall. If I was Coach Spring, I would be beyond excited. There seems to be a unique mix of experience and new talent on the 2013-14 roster that could make for an excellent, and winning, combination.

Flaws leads Illini on 1st road trip of Big Ten play BY LANRE ALABI STAFF WRITER
Illinois soccer (6-3-2) will go on its first Big Ten road trip of the season this weekend as it takes on Purdue (6-4-1) and Indiana (8-2-1). The Illini are currently sixth in the conference through three games played. Illinois is coming off a weekend where it handed a formidable Iowa side (9-2-0) its second loss of the season but also lost to Nebraska (8-2-1). In an ongoing battle of defensive organization, the Illini took a step back. The mostly inexperienced side conceded four goals over both games and the next task in the season checklist would be finding the defensive solidarity.

The Illini are 45-24 against the Spartans and hold a 21-11 record in East Lansing, Mich.; however, the Spartans are coming off a weekend sweep of two of the top teams in the country and conference, beating No. 5 Penn State 3-2 and sweeping No. 12 Ohio State on the road. Hambly compared Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of play to San Diego, in that the Spartans execute their offense at a frantic, up-tempo pace. San Diego gave the Illini trouble early in the season, handing them their second loss, 3-1. Michigan also plays at a high tempo, but has been more physical this year, according to Hambly.

HOCKEY through a 10-15-minute stretch where we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it, and as we start playing better and better teams here, that margin for error is going to get smaller and smaller.â&#x20AC;? Von Rueden said the team has taken notice to its slow starts over the past few games and has
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You solve one problem and that usually exposes the next one in line,â&#x20AC;? head coach Janet Rayfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(With) both Iowa and Nebraska we had a pretty common problem of marking in the box. ... This is certainly the next (problem) in line for us to fix.â&#x20AC;? The Boilermakers will be Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opponent Friday as the Illini travel to West Lafayette, Ind. Purdue is currently 11th in the conference after losing two of its first three conference games. Purdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last weekend produced contrasting performances as they allowed six goals against Penn State but recovered on Sunday with a 1-0 shutout of Ohio State. The Boilermakers only netted twice that weekend and
will probably not be as much of a test for Illinois, but their unpredictable defense will be a bigger threat. With the ninth-ranked offense in the nation, Illinois will be looking to explore inconsistencies in Purdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. With captain Vanessa DiBernardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprained knee keeping her status day-to-day, Illinois will look to its forward Jannelle Flaws to carry the offense. Flaws and DiBernardo have combined to lead a strong offensive unit so far, but with one figure questionable this weekend, the focus will be on the other half of the partnership. DiBernardo went down against Iowa and since then Flaws has played every minute for the team, scoring three goals in
that time frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played 90 minutes in a game since high school,â&#x20AC;? Flaws said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last game was challenging but they wanted me on the field for a reason. I just tried to work as hard as I can, rest when I can, (but) keep going the whole time.â&#x20AC;? Flaws currently shares the joint lead of the top goal scorer in the Big Ten with 12 goals, and she has a one goal per game average of 1.091. Her clinical form in front of the goal also has her one goal shy of the best tally in the country. On Sunday at Indiana, the Illini will face another unpredictable team. The Hoosiers (8-2-1) remained undefeated through the nonconference schedule but have
from Ohio State and Penn State last weekend, losing both matches 3-1 and beginning conference play 0-2. The Wolverines are 5-0 at home, though, and matches in Ann Arbor are nearly split, with the Illini on top 16-14, but standing 43-21 overall. The Illini were also the team to give the Wolverines their final loss of the season last season prior to their defeat in the Final Four against Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really just need to play our game,â&#x20AC;? Davis said when asked how to be successful this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We come to practice and kill it and play our game and when everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on, I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unstoppable. If we keep our energy up and our mental toughness up then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely have a great shot at beating both teams this weekend.â&#x20AC;?

things in life outside of the cricket field.â&#x20AC;? Many see it similar to baseball as Fazal notes, but cricket in its own right is a complex game that differs in format and duration across multiple platforms. A game of cricket usually comprises two innings; each team has one inning to bat and the other inning to fi eld. The goal is to score more runs than the opponent. In the center of the circular fi eld is the pitch where much of the action occurs. Two batters stand on opposite sides of the pitch, and the bowler, essentially equivalent to baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitcher, stands ready to bowl. In the Cricket Club of Illinois and, furthermore, most professional cricket teams worldwide, the team of 11 players uses a hard ball made of cork and leather, thus forcing the batters and pitchers to wear safety equipment. The Illini Cricket Cup is less formal and has been played using tennis balls, and has only eight players per team due to lack of players. The Illini Cricket Cup games are also about one-fourth of the length of club games. Following the fi nale of the Illini Cricket Cup, which is to be played Sunday at 10 a.m., there will be an India-Pakistan student friendly at 12:30 p.m.,

CRICKET et Club of Illinois, which has been around since the 1980s, this group is participating in the Illini Cricket Cup, a tournament that was organized in part by Khan and which has returned after a several-year hiatus. Khan, who grew up in Urbana, saw cricket prosper here when he was a child. His older brother graduated from Illinois in 2009, but by the time he started school, the sport had taken a backseat for most students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad played fi rst-class cricket in Pakistan, which is like semi-professional, so cricket has always been really big in my family,â&#x20AC;? said Khan, who also plays for the Cricket Club of Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people here to know what cricket is. A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that cricket is one of the top fi ve sports in the world.â&#x20AC;? The hope of such a revival is to inspire new generations of cricket lovers and bring the sport greater appreciation in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing like the mental strength it builds,â&#x20AC;? Khan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long game, tensions rise really quickly. With school, with relationships, it has really taught me how to approach

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jannelle Flaws prepares to shoot the ball for a goal against Nebraska at Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium on Sunday. The Illini lost 3-2 and will take on Purdue and Indiana this weekend. come up with a win and two losses in conference play. With a recent slump in form, they will probably be looking to capitalize on the home field advantage they have over a visiting Illinois side and return to their winning ways. Indiana is
undefeated at home, winning all six games it has played in Bloomington this season.
which will also be held on the South Quad. Recreating one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most intense sporting rivalries, this match touches on how cricket is more than just a game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cricket is just like religion in Pakistan,â&#x20AC;? said Fazal, who plans to teach his 2-month-old son the game as soon as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second religion in Pakistan. We are all emotionally tied to cricket.â&#x20AC;? With three wars between them since the Partition of India in 1947, the relations between India and Pakistan have been anything but easy. But the role of cricket diplomacy has fostered an opportunity to bridge the gaps between the countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always admired cricket because in a baseball game, you see a manager come out who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with an umpireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call,â&#x20AC;? said Khan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like that in cricket. If there is a call that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go your way, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really disciplined game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game amongst the players.â&#x20AC;? Enraptured by not only the game, the 2011 high stakes political match up of India-Pakistan in the semifi nal match of the ICC Cricket World Cup drew an estimated 1 billion viewers worldwide, according to various reports. Freshman Manvendra Singh,
whose team was eliminated from the Illini Cricket Cup, was able to attend an India-Pakistan match back in 2009 in Abu Dhabi where he witnessed fi rsthand the heightened encounter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the game, there was lots of tension and gutwrenching moments,â&#x20AC;? said Singh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheering from both sides never stopped. The atmosphere was almost more memorable than the game itself, and this seems to always be the case when it comes to India-Pakistan games.â&#x20AC;? Refl ecting a civilized game on the field, the game of cricket in these menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes has the potential to not only heal deeply seeded divides, but to also emerge in the U.S. as another thriving sport. Though the South Quad is close to 8,000 miles away from the famed 2011 match and fi lled with students constantly interrupting the games, there is a hope to not only spread the passion invoked in each game of cricket, but a general interest in the sport as well as with tournaments and events such as these. At a glimpse, the South Quad appears a terrible location; but it may prove to be the best one yet.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf heads to Yale after dominating Wolf Run Macdonald Cup tournament, golf course new to Illini BY KIERAN HAMPL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Illinois menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team, coming off a dominant performance at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate, will head to New Haven, Conn., this weekend to compete in the Macdonald Cup, held at Yaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home golf course. Head coach Mike Small will rejoin the team after missing the last tournament to play in the PGA Cup.
The Illini won the Wolf Run Intercollegiate by 33 strokes on Sept. 22 and hope to carry over the momentum to this weekend. At Wolf Run, Illinois had the top four individual scores as sophomore Thomas Detry turned in a 209 (average of 69.7) to lead the team. Detry has had the low scores in both the fi rst two competitions. The Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 844 strokes were a tournament record. Looking forward to this weekend, the team has a reason to be confi dent. Head coach Mike Small is pleased with the consistency the team has shown this early in the season and looks forward to continued success
this coming weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day is a new day, and every tournament is a new tournament,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Macdonald Cup is a longstanding tournament that Illinois hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t competed in before. It is a regional event that includes Ivy League schools Brown, Penn, Dartmouth and Yale, as well as Connecticut and other Northeastern schools. Small decided to take his team this year because it is an excellent course that he thinks will help his players improve their games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We) want to expose our guys to different fields and not only different parts of the country,
but different golf courses,â&#x20AC;? Small said. The course at Yale was named the best college golf course in the country by Golfweek Magazine in 2010 and is very different from some of the other courses that the Illini have played. This will pose a challenge that Small hopes will be able to help his young team in the long run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From what I have heard, it is pretty tricky and we need to be tough-minded and get a few good practice rounds in,â&#x20AC;? junior Brian Campbell said. Small was interested in taking his team to the tournament this year in order to come away with a win and gain confidence this
â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We) want to expose our guys to different fields and not only different parts of the country, but different golf courses.â&#x20AC;?
early in the season, especially after the departure of the Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top player, Thomas Pieters. The lineup this weekend will be the same as at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate and consists of Detry, sophomore Charlie Danielson, Campbell, senior Jonathan Hauter and sophomore David Kim. The Illini are ranked No. 17 in the latest Golf World/Nike Golf Coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poll that came out on Sept. 25 and hope to use this weekend to continue to climb the rankings.
