am an example of waiting too long to get help. I needed it, and I suffered drastically because I didn’t reach out and get it. Yes, one panic attack was frightening enough to send me to the doctor, and since then, I thought that my prescription of Xanax was all the help I could get. I had no idea how many options were in place to help me on my own campus. Seventy-five percent of lifetime mental illnesses appear before age 24, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. So for students on campus who will develop a mental illness, most cases will appear before or while they are attending college. Because of this, it is important for students to be aware of what is available to them in case they find themselves in the midst of a mental crisis. The most common mental condition has changed in the last 10 years from depression to anxiety disorders, said Patricia Ricketts, a clinical counselor for the University Counseling Center. The increased pressure on students to get a career that will make them money, instead of perhaps something that they are passionate about, could be an influence on the increase of anxiety disorders, Ricketts said.

Student leaders from five Illinois universities held a summit on campus Tuesday to discuss statewide issues, as well as individual campus problems. This was the first meeting of its kind to gather leaders from so many student governments across the state. The summit was put together by Student Trustee Lucas Frye and Student Body President Mitch Dickey, who invited all Illinois public universities to attend. Universities in attendance included: UIUC, The University of Illinois at Springfield, Eastern Illinois University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and Northern Illinois University. State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-51 and alumnus, opened discussion by speaking about funding for higher education and the state of the economy. During his time at the University, Rose was heavily involved in student government, serving as a student trustee twice. He declined to stand behind the podium, in an effort to “keep things casual”, reminding his audience that he didn’t want the gathering to be a lecture. Rose primarily focused his discussion on Monetary

Award Program grants, a monetary award program that provides grants that do not need to be repaid. Each year, student leaders lobby in Springfield for increased MAP grant funding; however, Rose said “Don’t lobby for more MAP funding; I would encourage you to lobby for smarter MAP funding.” Rose explained that currently $19 million in MAP Grants fund for-profit schools. Rose said the grant money should be redirected to benefit the schools that need it more — public schools. Additionally, he believes that schools should receive funding to pursue their strengths. Rose also discussed the rising rates of university tuition. Inflation is currently at about 1.7 percent, but tuition is inflated much more and unnecessarily, he said. Rose attributed this to the recent increase in the college dropout rate as well as the decline in the number of accepted offers of admission. Instead, Rose noted that community colleges are growing in popularity. “People just aren’t willing to pay $100,000 for four years of school,” Rose said. Rose emphasized to the student leaders that it’s stu-

Crime victims’ rights may increase STAFF WRITER

If this statistic is true for our university, 10,901 students of the 43,603 on campus have a diagnosable mental illness. 344 University students were registered with Disabilities Resource and Educational Services during the 2013-14 academic year for psychological reasons.

This November, voters in Illinois could pass an amendment to the state’s constitution that expands the legal rights of victims of violent crime and provide them with additional legal protections. The Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights aims to provide victims with additional safety and peace of mind. The reforms within the amendment would give victims of violent crime twelve new or modified rights, such as: to be notified when the accused is released from prison, to be notified of relevant court proceedings, to a timely disposition of their case and to appeal legal decisions that affect their capacity to exercise those rights. “Victims of crime and their surviving families are entitled to a range of rights under clearly established law, but rights such as those to be notified of court proceedings and to deliver an impact statement at sentencing are too often ignored,” said Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins, director of Marsy’s Law for Illinois, in a press release. “Amending our constitution will enhance the safety of crime victims and provide an appropriate opportunity for them to participate in the judicial process.” The amendment is modeled after Marsy’s Law, an amendment added to California’s constitution in November 2008. I l l i noi s leg i sl at u re approved the amendment to appear on November’s ballot earlier this year with a sizable majority; roughly

lies are also under financial pressure due to the increasing cost of higher education. These factors cause more stress for students than in the past, she said. The Counseling Center does not routinely diagnose students, but it helps them work through short-term issues or passes them on to another source of help. “Not everyone who walks into the (Counseling) Center is going to be diagnosed with something,” Ricketts said. “It is just (helpful to have) a professional outside your normal circle who can help you work through things.” The Counseling Center works frequently with students with diagnosable illnesses, and Ricketts said panic attacks are a common complaint. She said “bright, highfunctioning students who put a lot of pressure on themselves” are likely to suffer from panic attacks and anxiety disorders. “Students have come to the center, (and) they don’t have what we would consider a mental illness,” Ricketts said. They may just be “struggling with adjustment to college, with a certain test anxiety, with family pressure (or with) sadness over a breakup.” The Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services is a department dedicated to leveling the playing field for all students, said Dr. Kim Collins, assistant director with DRES. The department defines a disability as something that impacts aspects of daily living, such as learning and academics, Collins said. “Sometimes students with mental health issues

Each group came back from their individual conferences with a variety of suggestions. Some of the students determined that future student leaders would benefit from hosting a similar summit semi-yearly, possibly at a different campus each time. In order to keep in touch and up to date when the students are on their own campuses, one group suggested each school send a newsletter to the other public Illinois

University researchers have found that microbes inside the human gut may be the foundation behind a new generation of energy production at an industrial level. This provided a new approach to previous studies of digestion enzymes found in cow intestines, one of the best environments where enzymes that release sugars from plants are found, according to the researchers. These bacterial microbes were found in the human large intestines, which break down cell wall fibers and convert them into simple sugars at a more efficient rate than cow microbes, said Isaac Cann, professor in Microbiology and lead researcher of the study. Cann was the first to use a biochemical approach to support the hypothesis, and the group’s findings were published in the scientific journal, “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.” “Our investigations point to the human gut as a rich source of the enzymes required to break down the

He reminded students that businesses don’t want to come or stay in Illinois, and that is hurting the state more than anything else. He said if the statewide budget problems were addressed, the state would already be in a better position. Illinois State Rep.

be prevented by taking precautions

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

HONG KONG — A leading student group has pulled out of negotiations with the Hong Kong government on ending protests here after an angry crowd surrounded prodemocracy protesters Friday, assaulting them and calling them traitors. Police intervened and formed a circle around the protesters, most of them young students, but they were initially outnumbered by the angry crowd, some of whom landed punches and kicked protesters or people thought to be protesters. The violence intensified as day turned into night, prompting at least one prominent student group, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, to pull out of talks with government authorities on ways to end the mass demonstrations. Some protest leaders blamed the siege on pro-government associations doing the bidding of Beijing, which has called the protests “an illegal gathering” in semiautonomous Hong Kong. Early Saturday morning, police reported arresting 19 people and said that some of them were members of “triads” — organized crime gangs — according to a report in the South China Morning Post. Police provided no further immediate details, but it confirmed the suspicions of many demonstrators that

Crowds of supporters and on-lookers continue to gather at the Mong Kok pro-democracy site that continues to occupy the crucial Nathan Road/Argyle Street intersection in Hong Kong on Tuesday. Protests have continued in Hong Kong. hired guns had been brought in to roust them. In addition, several socalled “patriotic” organizations in Hong Kong have been using Facebook and other social media to urge and end to the demonstrations. They include names such as “Silent Majority,” “Voice of Hong Kong” and “Caring Hong Kong Power.” Several people in the antiprotest crowd Friday denied that they had arrived as part of a coordinated call to action. Harassment of student protesters was also reported in Causeway Bay, on Hong Kong Island. Some 30 women’s and

gay rights groups held a press conference Friday decrying what they said were groups of men groping young women both there and at Mong Kok. On Thursday, there appeared to be a possible break in the impasse splitting the government and protesters. Hong Kong’s chief executive agreed for his administration to hold talks with students, possibly as soon as Saturday. But on Friday, at least one major student group said it was pulling out of the talks, and another said it would do so if the government didn’t step up to prevent “organized attacks” on supporters.

Daniel Tan, 42, a teacher who said he was sympathetic to both protesters and affected businesses in Mong Kok, said that starting an occupation is easier than ending it. The students, he said, need to figure out an overall strategy to push their cause without putting themselves at harm and holding public support. “This is the turning point for everything that is going on,” said Tan. “The government wants the students to evacuate, and then talks can be held.” But by evacuating, he acknowledged, the prodemocracy protesters lose what leverage they have.

PANIC don’t think that it is a disability,” she said. She explained that the services offered are for a wide range of disabilities, but that 72 percent of the students who are registered with DRES have hidden or nonvisible disabilities, like mental illness. Every student is assigned to an access specialist who works with them to provide flexible accommodations, Collins said. One option includes priority registration so students can make a schedule to best suit their illnesses. Students can also request extended exam times if they have extreme test anxiety or panic. “We’ve had students, for example, who if they have depression, even when they are treated, they will know maybe once or twice during the semester they are just going to have a period of time where they can’t function,” she said.

WASHINGTON — Two railroad industry trade groups have quietly asked the U.S. Department of Transportation to drop its requirement that rail carriers transporting large volumes of Bakken crude oil notify state emergency officials. The railroads have maintained that they already provide communities with adequate information about hazardous materials shipments and that public release of the data could harm the industry from both a security and business standpoint. In addition, The rail groups said the emergency order’s requirement to disclose routing information wasn’t necessary for emergency planning purposes. But they haven’t been successful in convincing numerous states or the federal government. On Friday, the Federal Railroad Administration published a notice in the Federal Register concluding that the Bakken train data isn’t sensitive on either a security or commercial basis, nor is it protected from disclosure by any federal law. “At this time, DOT finds no basis to conclude that the public disclosure of the information is detrimental to transportation safety,” the notice said. Bakken crude oil, from the Upper Great Plains, is extracted from shale rock through hydraulic fracturing, and it has been involved in multiple accidents that resulted in large spills and fires. A July 2013 derailment in Quebec killed 47 people. Friday’s notice came in response to a letter from the Association of American Railroads and the American

BETHESDA, Md. — U.S. officials leading the fight against history’s worst outbreak of Ebola have said they know the ways the virus is spread and how to stop it. They say that unless an air traveler from disease-ravaged West Africa has a fever of at least 101.5 degrees or other symptoms, co-passengers are not at risk. “At this point there is zero risk of transmission on the flight,” Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said after a Liberian man, who flew through airports in Brussels and Washington, was diagnosed with the disease

Short Line and Regional Railroad Association. The trade groups requested that the department withdraw its May 7 emergency order requiring railroads to notify states of cargoes of 1 million gallons or more of Bakken crude oil. The DOT is seeking to make the order permanent. Initially, the railroads asked states to sign agreements that would exempt the information from open records laws, and many complied. Others refused, finding no reason for why the reports shouldn’t be shared publicly. Copies of the notifications that McClatchy and other news organizations obtained from those states show the counties which the shipments traverse, the names of the routes and the approximate number of trains per week that met the department’s reporting threshold.

DRES works with professors in instances such as these to ensure the fair treatment of students, keeping in mind all factors of their mental illness, Collins said. Registering with DRES gives students extra protection and helps to insure their success on campus, she said. DRES provides free and unlimited therapy, unlike the Counseling Center and the McKinley Mental Health Clinic, which only provide short-term help with a limited number of visits. DRES’s therapy options are catered to the student’s needs and provide options such as group therapy, private therapy or homework coaching. I had heard of the Counseling Center, but it never crossed my mind as something I needed. And I never knew that my panic disorder could be considered a disability. I was living under the impression that only crazy people go to counseling, and I went to such lengths to convince myself I wasn’t

crazy. I had no idea that so many people care on this campus, and that so many people actually want to help us succeed. Even though my mental illness is hidden, it has always made me feel ashamed, like maybe taking deep breaths and getting more sleep should be able to fix me. But I’ve come to understand more about my illness, and I know it’s more complicated than that. I have come to realize that just because the people around me don’t understand my need for therapy, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t go. It seems simple, I know, but it was a great, drawnout revelation for me. I finally came to terms with my illness, and I realized that if I wanted to feel better, I would need counsel and guidance. I might even need medicine, but this did not make me crazy. The crazy thing was thinking that anyone else’s opinion, based on incorrect stigmas, mattered more than my actual health and

each school will hold their own lobby day and that they will all partake in a statewide lobby day in the fall to create a bigger, more powerful influence on state legislators. Students were then able to ask questions to former U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson, professor in Political Science, who was

raised in Urbana and now teaches at the University. While students from only five of the eight universities were able to attend this year’s summit, Frye and Dickey are hopeful for the future. Frye called the summit “the guinea pig class,” adding that “it takes an informal

one to get a formal (summit).” They hope what they have started will serve as a platform for bigger and better collaboration, and that they can use this as a way to mentor future student leaders.

Center for Advanced BioEnergy Research in an email. “If inexpensive biomass can be used as a starting feedstock, this would ultimately have an impact on sustainability of the entire value chain by making the process more economical and independent of the food supply.” Cann said it was important to remember that all researchers need is the DNA of the enzymes. Many can be found in human feces then replicated in the laboratory on a massive scale, rather than extracted directly from humans.

Cann’s studies are still in process, but the findings continue to change the approach toward biofuel and energy in the scientific field. “We need to make these enzymes in large quantities at very cheap cost or find extremely active enzymes to drive down the cost of making a gallon of cellulosic biofuel,” he said. “Once we accomplish these goals, we will see the industry based on cellulosic biofuels expand.”

my ability to get better. Hiding my mental illness did not make it go away, or make my life any easier. It only made me ashamed, like it was my fault I felt this way. I was living in fear that if people knew what “I was really like,” they wouldn’t look at me the same — I would go from an average college student to a crazy and sick person. But I’ve since learned that needing professional help doesn’t mean you are crazy. All it meant was that I was being smart about my illness and using all the resources available to me. It took me a long time to recognize what I was going through as an actual illness. But as I now realize, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and I refuse to let the stigmas other people ignorantly believe keep me from being healthy and happy again. I need help to get better, and that is OK.

Pro-Russia separatists and Ukrainian government forces have abandoned all pretense of adhering to a cease-fire agreed to a month ago as the rebels have stepped up their assault on the Donetsk Airport in hopes of gaining control of eastern Ukraine’s most important transport hub.

A spokesman for the National Security and Defense Council reported Tuesday that five government soldiers had died in the fighting over the past 24 hours. Col. Andriy Lysenko told reporters in Kiev that the separatists had also suffered casualties in the escalating battle.

Earthquake in China launches national disaster response teams Officials in China have launched national disaster response teams after a strong earthquake hit the southwest of the country Tuesday night. The earthquake, which was at least 6.0 in magni-

Six genetic variants hold answers to how coffee works in our bodies LOS ANGELES — Are we wired to get wired? The folks at the Coffee and Caffeine Genetics Consortium believe so. They’ve found six new genetic variants associated with coffee consumption, in an analysis of about 120,000 java drinkers. It’s hardly surprising to discover that four of the highlighted genes are associated with metabolism of

caffeine, the compound that helps wake us up and kick the brain into gear in the morning. But two of the genes linked to coffee consumption appear to be related to sugar and fats in the blood, which could lead to insights into some of coffee’s reported beneficial health effects, according to Tuesday’s study in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

in the state senate, also voted in support. A large coalition of nonprofit organizations have also voiced its support of the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, including: the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Illinois, the Illinois Coalition against Domestic Violence and the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. While the proposed amendment would implement changes in the legal process for victims of violent crime, Illinois law enforcement would not have to significantly change how they handle investigations. Both Urbana Police Chief Patrick Connolly and University of Illinois Deputy Chief of Police Skip Frost are supportive of the amendment, although they both stated that aside from enforcing the new law, their departments would not have to make any changes to how they approach cases involving violent crime. “I have zero issues with violent offenders having higher bonds or that victims of violent criminals have protections for their own piece of mind and safety,” said Frost. Election day in Illinois will take place on Nov. 4. To find polling locations and further information, check www.elections.il.gov.

CRIME 98 percent of the Illinois House of Representatives voted in support. The Illinois Senate approved the amendment unanimously shortly afterwards. While a 1992 amendment to the Illinois constitution titled “Illinois Crime Victim Rights” sought to implement similar legal protections for victims of violent crime, proponents of the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights said that it failed to offer victims all of their essential rights. “The amendment to the Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights is a remedy to this situation,” said Bishop-Jenkins. “(It) reflects years of discussion and refinement among victim advocates, prosecutors and law enforcement officials. We anticipate broad and diverse support for this common-sense reform.” The amendment has already received support from several influential figures in Illinois government, including Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon.

E D I TO RIAL Carle not only to blame for Urbana tax increase

understand why the residents of Urbana are upset with Carle Foundation Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax exempt-status â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that has impacted Urbana residents directly as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to make up these tax payments. At the same time, though, we also understand why Carle took advantage of the opportunity to accept this tax exemption. But in understanding both of these sides, we do not think Carle should receive the majority of the negative response from Urbana residents. Instead, these residents should aim to delve deeper into the issue and realize the blame cannot be placed solely on Carle and that other institutions are a part of the problem. Carle and Presence Covenant Medical Center were granted tax exempt status in 2012, which has raised Urbana residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; taxes 12 percent to support the local services affected by the tax exemption, said Charlie Smyth, Urbana City Council member. However, Carle is just taking advantage of a bill the Illinois General Assembly passed in 2012, which allowed not-forprofit hospitals to deduct charity work from property taxes. The problem lies here, as Carle should not be criticized for taking advantage of something the general assembly has carved out for them and other hospitals. Recently, Urbana residents have posted signs throughout the neighborhood in protest of having to pay excess taxes. As indicated in The Daily Illini, some of these signs have messages that state â&#x20AC;&#x153;MY FAMILY PAYS CARLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SHARE OF TAXES.â&#x20AC;? The anger and frustration that these residents inevitably feel is understandable, but Carle should not necessarily be the sole receiver of the finger of blame, especially since the hospital does plenty to help the Urbana community. According to Carleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, the hospital provided $44 million in free or discounted care to 27,000 patients, and 4,000 of those patients were residents of Urbana, Jennifer Hendricks Kaufmann, Carleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public relations manager, said. It most certainly seems unfair that Urbana residents have to bear the brunt of paying for health care for the other 23,000 patients who receive the care for free and do not live within the area. However, having healthy people that are able to work provides more of an economic benefit than an economic detriment of the taxes themselves. Paying a whopping 12 percent more for taxes is definitely problematic, but Urbana residents should look to address the Urbana City Council and Illinois General Assembly and tackle the root of the problem head on and voice their concerns.

ROWLING RIDDLES

LAYING DOWN THE (J-)LAW

J.K. Rowling has created an anagram fit for Rowena Ravenclaw herself. At least, we hope itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an anagram. On Monday, the author of the Harry Potter series tweeted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate this nonsense.â&#x20AC;? Some have said the gibberish should be rearranged to read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry returns! Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say any details now. A week off. No comment.â&#x20AC;? While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love that to be true, as a Gawker writer pointed out, the tweet can also be rearranged to specify a brunch order: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me now: Dry rye toast, tuna, waffles, one knish, tea, my own rancor.â&#x20AC;? And while Rowling likes to confuse us, we have a feeling Rowlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talking about food.

Jennifer Lawrence has finally spoken out about the nude photos that were stolen from her and published online in late August. In the November issue of Vanity Fair, the Hunger Games huntress opened up about the non-scandal in typical J-Law fashion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,â&#x20AC;? she told the magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.â&#x20AC;? Not only do we support her sentiment, but we also stand behind her attitude. Despite the consent that was stolen from her, Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride remains intact, and she rightfully maintains she has nothing to apologize for.

WILL THE REAL AUNT JEMIMA PLEASE STAND UP? Two household names for breakfast products are flipping out (or flipping pancakes) over the almighty dollar.

They are asking for $2 billion and a share of future sales revenue.

CELEBRITY SECRET REVEALED Yesterday, news leaked that Stephen Collins, the actor who played the father on the television series â&#x20AC;&#x153;7th Heaven,â&#x20AC;? confessed to molesting and/or exposing himself to at least three underage girls. He was recorded during a therapy session back in 2012 with now ex-wife Faye Grant and gave details of the various accounts. Needless to say, this is appalling and wildly inappropriate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention shocking for those of us who grew up watching the pastor father, Reverend Eric Camden, on our TV screens for over a decade.

Public should refocus response to mass photo leak KAANAN RAJA Opinions columnist

hile paparazzi may be obnoxious to celebrities, at least their presence is glaringly obvious. Anonymous hackers, on the other hand, sitting in the comfort of their own homes, invading othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; privacy and releasing the photos for the whole world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be afraid of. On Aug. 31, almost 100 celebritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nude photos were released for the world to see on sites such as Reddit and 4chan. This included photographs of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande and more. In response, tabloids and news sources blew up, with headlines slapped on the fronts of newspapers and criticism scrawled across magazines. While many responses following the leaked photos focused on why the pictures shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been taken in the first place, all responses should have been focused on blaming the hackers who violated the privacy of these women. For example, comedian Ricky Gervais, posted a tweet

that appeared to blame the victims of this scandal stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on your computer.â&#x20AC;? And this was just the beginning. More negative responses flooded in as the list of hacked celebrities continued to grow over the following month with a recent breach in privacy on Sept. 26. Those added to this tally included Kim Kardashian, Mary-Kate Olsen, Hayden Panettiere and more. The list now reaches up to 200 celebrities, and is believed to be the biggest celebrity hacking scandal in history. While some may argue that in this day and age it is unwise to have nude or racy photos on your cell phone where they could easily be hacked into or even stolen, I think people should have the right to keep whatever they choose on their phone. Furthermore, everyone has the right to keep their private life completely to themselves as long as they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harming anyone else. What happens behind closed doors is not intended for all to see. As actress and director Lena Dunham eloquently put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take naked pics if you

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them onlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; argument is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;she was wearing a short skirtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the web.â&#x20AC;? The reason that the public was in a frenzy when these photos were released was because they were taken without the consent of the women in them. They were never meant to reach the public eye. Targeted actress Jennifer Lawrence puts it perfectly stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a public figure, just because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. ... It does not mean that it comes with the territory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.â&#x20AC;? The distribution of these images and the responses that followed shows the sense of entitlement that exists in this culture, which was demonstrated by those who circulated the images and those who criticized the actions of these women. In the media, headlines ran rampant with Glamour Magazine publicizing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jennifer Lawrence opens up about hacking scandalâ&#x20AC;? and New York Daily News announcing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after the celebrity hacking scandals, more and more of us are taking nude selfies.â&#x20AC;? While some tabloids, and even news sources, are referring to the incident as a scan-

dal, I think these headlines should address these publicized pictures for what they were: a crime. Do we really live in a nation where taking a nude photo receives more emphasis than the fact that this was a disgusting violation of privacy? When we shame female celebrities (or any person for that matter) for taking personal pictures that were meant to be kept for themselves or shared with a partner, we take the attention away from the fact that their own privacy was breached and stolen from them. Inadvertently, then, we support the anonymous hackers who exploited the lives of hundreds of people and fail to understand that the way in which we share our bodies must be a choice. These are real women, and they deserve the respect that every human being deserves. For those who support these female celebrities and recognize this act as a crime, continue to do so. For those who continue to shame these celebritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal choices, reconsider who deserves the real shame in this crime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not these women.

Human trafficking: A prevalent problem in the US CAMRON OWENS Opinions columnist

lavery still exists in America, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major growing business. The human trafficking business was estimated at $44 billion in 2005 and jumped to $150 billion in 2014, according to the International Labor Organization. This is a frightening and disgusting figure, especially because the practice occurs right under our noses. Human trafficking is considered a form of slavery because it involves using force and fraud to exploit victims for labor or sex. It can include anything from prostitution to those in the stories we read about people who have been locked in basements for years against their will. When I think of human trafficking, I often think of less developed countries and dark secretive locations. This is not something I had considered a major problem in the United States until recently. Last Friday at All Campus Worship, a once-a-semester service for all Christian students on campus, Nikki Toyama-Szeto, the Senior Director of the International Justice Mission Institute and Prayer in Washington DC, discussed

sex trafficking and how vital it is to look for signs of it in America. This is an issue that her organization is concerned with and is seeking to end. While sex trafficking is even more prevalent in other countries, victims are often transported to the United States on commercial airlines and are forced to work jobs at hotels, massage parlors and restaurants. Often massage parlors serve as fronts for brothels, and many victims live and work out of hotels. ToyamaSzeto even said a restaurant she frequented had gotten busted for human trafficking. This, along with the fact that I could be interacting with such people without knowing it is alarming and heartbreaking. Toyama-Szeto explained that identifying those involved in human trafficking is especially difficult because victims blend in with our society. I believe it is important that we read and research human trafficking so that we can better understand and identify it. It is a much larger business than I realized, and those involved are being denied human rights. They are being used and mistreated. But those being trafficked arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always foreign. Eightythree percent of people forced into prostitution in the United States are actually from the United States. Unfortunately, many victims, especially

young ones, are easily targeted through the Internet. Earlier this year, the FBI rescued 168 children in a nationwide operation that targeted child sex traffickers in over 100 U.S. cities. Because trafficking in our country is widespread but secretive, we should be on the lookout for it. If we are, we can save lives. Recently, a woman in Philadelphia was rescued from her detainer, who had held her for years after using MySpace to lure her in when she was 15. Thankfully, the police got involved with the woman and she was able to escape her abuser. This story is an example of why we should be concerned. If we can raise awareness and educate people, we could decrease the amount of stories like these. Many organizations against human trafficking confirm that stories like these are common. The Internet and social networks are full of people looking to abduct others into human trafficking. We need to identify these predators and work toward abolishing human trafficking. Human trafficking is a problem that many, including the International Justice Mission, believe can be solved in our lifetime, as long as we start looking for signs and taking action. If we see people in suspicious abusive relationships,

we should look into them. The Justice Department suggests that rather than asking direct questions about trafficking, we should ask questions about workplace and living conditions. It is also important to encourage businesses to do the same. Companies like Delta Airlines are beginning to train employees to identify signs of trafficking by looking for bruises and wounds on customers, as well as for unusual behavior. Additionally, many hotels are also working with law enforcement to detect odd room bookings and questionable individuals. Since these businesses have hundreds of customers a day, they will better be able to identify irregularities in customer behavior. The first step in ending human trafficking is identifying it. If we see odd or suspicious behavior, it is important that we tell someone about it. Some red flags for human trafficking include excessive work hours, injuries, and odd relationships with employers. Being on the lookout for human trafficking could save lives. Many activists believe that we should view trafficking in a similar way to terrorism: If you see something, say something.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS

SARAH SOENKE THE DAILY ILLINI

The Red Herring, located at 1209 W. Oregon St. in Urbana, is one option on campus for students seeking vegetarian meals. October is National Vegetarian Awareness Month.

Dining halls prepare for vegetarian month BY BECKY NGUYEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The student-initiative Sustainability Chopped Competition is being held Wednesday night in Field of Greens at Lincoln Avenue Residence Halls during dinner hours. The “secret ingredient” will be based on a vegan and vegetarian diet. All four groups of competitors received a pantry list on Tuesday and will get a mystery basket at the beginning of the competition, according to Executive Chef Carrie Anderson. October is a special month designated to vegetarians nationwide. In light of that, all six dining halls are preparing new dishes and activities for vegetarian students on campus throughout the entire month. LAR, arguably the most vegetarian-friendly unit on campus, is hosting the Chef’s Table event on Oct. 15. Usually, the Chef’s Table is focused around local and seasonal ingredients and is an event that allows students an exclusive opportunity to watch chefs prepare a meal before them in a more formal dining experience. Students can text “TXTCHEF” and their name to 55744 between now and Friday to win a seat at the Chef’s Table. However, this month students can expect chefs to highlight vegetarian-only ingredients in honor of National Vegetarian Awareness Month. Among classes, meetups, and study sessions, it can be hard for vegetarians to prepare three meals a day that do not consist of mostly instant pasta and crunchy peanut butter. Ethel Liao, senior in Business, said what she misses most about eating in the dining halls is the variety of vegetarian food she can’t get at home. Liao became a vegetarian during her freshman year at Busey-Evans. She’s always had a strong interest in the environment, but what really pushed her to eat meat-free are the dining halls’ vegetarian food labels. Every entree at each dining hall labels their food if it’s vegetarian, vegan or local. That way, it’s easier for students to load their plate, eat and still make it

CURTIS them. Joyce said most people, such as teachers and children, like the cinnamon sugar apple doughnuts the best. They are especially popular because they are free of trans fat and do not come in contact with peanuts, she said. Personally, she said she likes her doughnuts warm and will heat them up in the microwave. Throughout her career, Joyce has baked the doughnuts and other desserts, like pies, as well as kept track of all of the business’ book work. Now that she is semi-retired, Joyce said her main focus is paying the bills. However, she still helps with baking and overseeing the orchard and

HACKATHON services offered by the company, Sheer said the company was more likely to help the group with code. A portion of the team’s prize was a start-up tool kit for Pick Me Up, McClelland said. However, even though the original Pick Me Up project was designed as an app, he said the group will not likely continue it as one. “What it will probably do is it will sit in the background of a lot of other apps as kind of an engine that does emotional analysis,” he said. He compared the project

to class on time. Being a vegetarian on a college campus means you might have to get creative sometimes. Julia Komrska, sophomore in DGS, said that her favorite vegetarian meal from the dining hall consists of meat-free tacos, which she makes herself at Illinois Street Residence Halls, one of the lesser veg-friendly dining halls. “You can always ask any member of our staff for ideas or suggestions because we have a lot of different components, and sometimes it’s hard for people to put things together in a creative way to kind of satisfy whatever they have a taste for,” Anderson said. “We’re always happy to help people put things together.” Each dining unit on campus gets to choose how they’re going to celebrate National Vegetarian Awareness Month. Dining halls at Ikenberry Commons and Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls are adding a new vegetarian dish or ingredient every day for the entire month. Florida Avenue Residence Halls is having an all-vegetarian dinner on Oct. 22. The dining hall will be split into two sides, and only the Trelease side is serving meatless entrées. The Oglesby side will cater to non-vegetarians. Busey-Evans is doing Dinner and a Movie on Oct. 14 at 4:30 p.m. Students will get a chance to watch “Forks over Knives” while they eat vegetarian meals featured in the movie. All six dining units will have a Diwali-themed dinner on Oct. 23. Diwali, or Festival of Lights, is one of the biggest Hindu holidays. Meals will be primarily vegetarian, but lamb and chicken will also be served. However, for students that don’t have access to the dining halls, The Red Herring, a popular vegetarian restaurant located in the heart of campus, offers meatless lunches every weekday. Its set menu is streamlined with salads, sandwiches and baked goods. Customers can look forward to these items every day for a quick selection, but they can

also expect variety. Their weekly specials include the soup of the week, platter of the week, dessert specials and featured food from their cultural dinners. “The whole reason why we are vegan is to remove ourselves from any sort of animal injustices that could be going on when it comes to the mass production of food and what that consumption looks like,” said Holly Monet Curia, head chef of The Red Herring and 2012 University alumna. She also stresses that the staff at The Red Herring wants to do more than serve the community. They want to use the restaurant to educate people on healthy living, healthy eating and the issues that are going on in the world. The Red Herring offers Vegan Fusion Dinners for $8 a plate every Wednesday. Each week features a different cuisine from cultures around the world. “It’s not meant to be weird or exotic or different,” Curia said. “It’s more meant to be a new way of looking at food. It’s still just as awesome and delicious as everything else. It makes you feel really good, and it’s just a really positive environment in there.” For students that rely on the dining halls, even after National Vegetarian Awareness Month, all six dining halls on campus maintain a Vegan Corner year-round. It’s an assortment of cold items such as liquid amino acid, flaxseed and nutritional yeast. “It’s used to make sure you have all of the vitamins and nutrients that you need which can be hard to do if you follow a vegetarian diet,” Anderson said. The newly-renovated vegetarian restaurant in LAR, Field of Greens, is open for lunch Mondays through Fridays. Leafy!, also known as vegetarian night at LAR, takes place every Wednesdays from 4:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. On top of that, there will always be vegetarian options at breakfast, lunch and dinner at all dining halls, no exceptions.

store as needed. Joyce said her favorite part is working with family including her son, Chris Curtis. Chris said the best part of working with his mom is drawing upon both of his parents’ farming experience and business entrepreneurship. “Obviously, with the crowds here, we are doing something right, and drawing upon their tips (of) how they run things; it’s invaluable,” he said. “It’s almost like a high level internship.” Chris also said he appreciates the way his mom holds the business together. “During the fall it can be a little hectic and unnerving with the crowds and can be hard to keep your head above water, but mom does a great job of keeping things organized.” Joyce said she is looking

forward to her family’s annual get-together and potluck after the busy fall season, in addition to seeing parents take pictures of their kids with the orchard’s signs, which say how tall the children are. Paul said that the orchard is like the television show “Captain Kangaroo”, because you have a different generation coming on all the time. “Now, we have not only the adults but they’ve gotten married and have children and bring their children out!” Joyce said. This fall, people will come and go from the orchard, making memories with their families. Joyce will be doing the same with hers.

to a car: the project would be the engine to the app, which is the car. “The engine that we’re talking about creating is just an engine,” McClelland said. “It’s not a car. If you think about it, most consumers who buy cars don’t actually know the manufacturers of the engine specifically; they just know what kind of car they’re driving. So if a car company outsources their engine building to another company, we’re the company that builds the engine, not the one that builds the car.” As of now, the group may integrate the project with Uber, which was the ridesharing service the origi-

nal project used, along with other companies. Jasieniecki said that not only did the winning team’s project depend on its “coolness factor,” but also its the ability to be utilized in businesses by being “productized and be sold.” “Basically, the judge that announced first prize said that while our initial use-case was kind of silly, which I completely agree, they saw value in it,” Jasieniecki said. “That’s the project they saw the most potential in as far as being productized.”

Curtis Orchard: A family for owner Joyce Curtis BY ANNABETH CARLSON STAFF WRITER

most people in the Champaign-Urbana area, the Curtis Orchard is a successful apple orchard and pumpkin patch business. But to co-owner Joyce Curtis, it is much more than that. It is a place where she used to raise confined hogs with her husband of 58 years, Paul. It is a place where she works alongside her children, grandchildren and even in-laws. It is a place to make her famous secret-recipe apple “doughnuts.” Simply put, it is her home. On Friday afternoon, Joyce walked through the orchard’s country store, wearing a crisp red apron with the Curtis Orchard logo and pearlbeaded glasses around her neck. She watched as family members and student employees bustled around, helping customers navigate the sweetsmelling store filled with seasonal antiques, jars of pumpkin butter, dessert mixes, hot and cold cider and of course — apple doughnuts. In passing, a lady holding a white chihuahua stopped to say hello and continued to the checkout with her fall finds. With a mischievous smirk, Joyce murmurs “Dogs are not supposed to be in here.” October is the busiest season at the Curtis Orchard. The business is now 37 years old and thriving, but Joyce remembers a time when the piece of land was very different. It all began when she was a student at the University in 1954, when tuition was only $60 a semester. One summer, Joyce decided to stay on campus

to attend summer school, and it was then that she met her husband Paul. Both her brother and Paul were members of the FarmHouse Fraternity, but Curtis said she met Paul one day in the summer at McBride’s Drug Store. “But not through my brother, however!” she said matter-of-factly. “He came in there and he said, ‘Aren’t you Jim’s sister?’ And I said yes, and so from then on we just hit it off.” Joyce and Paul were married in 1956 in her hometown Bement, Illinois, 25 miles south of Champaign. Joyce said the couple was gifted 80 acres of land (which is now the Curtis Orchard) by Paul’s parents and began married life as farmers of confined hogs, corn and beans. However, this did not last, Joyce said. “We saw that the subdivision was encroaching on us, and we knew we couldn’t continue that because (the hogs) don’t smell good,” she said. In addition to farming, Curtis said Paul was a horticulture professor at Parkland Community College for 21 years. While there, she said he had an advisory committee that brought him in contact with the Eckert family who own Eckert’s farm, a business in Southern Illinois with pickyour-own apples and pumpkins. She said her and Paul visited Eckert’s and two years later, they finally got up the nerve to open their own apple orchard. She said that everything they had from the farm and Parkland was invested into the orchard. “I remember that first year there was a drought and (Paul) bought rubber hoses and I spent all day out watering every tree and we only lost three,” she said.

Despite the challenges of starting the orchard, Joyce said it was much better than the couple’s previous farm. “Apples go to sleep. Hogs don’t!” she said. Joyce said during the first year, they planted a large amount of every kind of apple. They now have a variety to choose from including Red Delicious, Jonathan, Fuji and Golden Delicious. She said her personal favorite is Fuji because they are sweet. But she said she also likes making applesauce with Golden Delicious apples because they are sweet and make a beautiful sauce without any sugar. Applesauce is not the only thing Joyce can make. She is known around the area for her apple doughnuts. After attending meetings in the winter with other orchards, Joyce got the idea to open a bakery and café, where she sells the homemade doughnuts. While she couldn’t reveal much about the doughnuts because it is a secret recipe, she did say they are made of an apple crisp batter. She said they are hard to make because of the doughnut equipment. “You have to make the batter, and you can’t have it too soupy,” Joyce said. “The plunger that pushes the doughnut batter out has three connections of three holes in it and these holes have to be filled with batter in order to get a full-sized doughnut out. If not, you have to start all over.” When the doughnuts are finished, Joyce said they are dipped in cinnamon sugar. Sometimes they are dipped in icing as well but that takes longer, she said, and they have three fans to cool

University students win 1st annual hackathon at Georgia Tech STAFF WRITER

“You know, if we win, I’m going to puke.” Keagan McClelland, senior in Engineering, said this before the winners were announced at the first hackathon, HackGT, at Georgia Institute of Technology, otherwise known as Georgia Tech. McClelland said his nerves were not entirely because of the upcoming results, but also because of the coffee and lack of food in his stomach. Along with McClelland, teammate Nathan Dolph, junior in Engineering, was also sick, but stood in the back of the auditorium during the announcement. It was from across the room that Dolph heard the team’s name announced as the firstplace winners for its app, Pick Me Up, which was quickly followed by McClelland shouting “What?” From Friday, Sept. 19, to Sunday, Sept. 21, the team competed in Atlanta along with over 1,000 others at HackGT, according to the hackathon’s website. It was there that attendees created hardware and software projects to compete for prizes at the school’s first national hackathon, according to the event’s Challenge Post page. Over the three-day weekend, McClelland and Dolph, along with their teammates and Triangle Fraternity brothers, Kevin Jasieniecki and Kevin Scheer, spent part of the 36 hours allotted in the contest, creating the app, Pick Me Up.

“So one idea that I kind of proposed as a joke at the last hackathon I went to was essentially an app that reads and analyses your texts and if your texts become too sad in a certain period of time, the app will recognize this and get you an Uber to drive you to the nearest bar,” said Jasieniecki, senior in Engineering. “It was a pick me up.” “— That picked you up,” McClellan added. Jasieniecki said it was around 3 a.m. on Friday that he pitched the idea for Pick Me Up, which he described as “a pun and a dream.” The idea wasn’t always the team’s plan though. At the beginning of the hackathon, the group worked on its first project; an app that would make legal documents easier to read. They said they later decided against it after realizing it may be difficult to finish within the 36-hour time frame. In order to make that dream possible, McClelland said 400,000 tweets were initially used to comprise a training dataset so the app could later decipher a person’s texts and determine whether or not that person was sad. Scheer, sophomore in Engineering, said that during the 36 hours at the hackathon, those attending had the opportunity to visit company booths as well. If one team’s project was utilizing the

Warren excels in both soccer, speedskating BY MASAKI SUGIMOTO STAFF WRITER

Freshman Sarah Warren is not just a defender who has recently become a starter on the backline for the Illinois soccer team. She is an accomplished speed skater who has lived a life of being a multisport athlete. Growing up in Willowbrook, Ill., Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fi rst passion was ice hockey. She always wanted to play with the boys. When the boys began hitting, around 7 or 8 years old, Warren and her parents decided playing hockey was not in her future. After a year away from the sport, she went to her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey game and saw something she had never seen before: speedskating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love,â&#x20AC;? Warren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried it the next week, and it was one of those things you are so happy when you do it.â&#x20AC;? Along with speed skating, Warren was successful in other sports at Hinsdale South High School. She set the track record for the fastest time in the 400 meters and was the team captain of her club soccer team, Academy United SC, which won the Illinois state championship in 2013. Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable success as a speedskater was at the Olympic trials in 2012, where she placed ninth in the 1,000 meters and eighth in the 500 meters at the age of 17. She fell just short of one of the eight spots to join Team USA in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. After missing out on the 2014 team, Warren planned to improve herself to make the 2018 Olympic squad and go to college on a soccer scholarship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really thought I was going to go D-III and do something not as serious,â&#x20AC;? Warren said. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Illinois associate head coach Jeff Freeman saw Warren play that he offered her a Division I scholarship. Warren knew she wanted to take on the challenge of playing a Division I sport while also trying to be an Olympic athlete.

Head coach Janet Rayfield knew Warren would bring a certain psychological attribute from her speedskating experience that would separate her from her teammates. Warren is used to operating on a congested rink, something that can carry over onto the soccer field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speed skating on a track with ice with people all around you,â&#x20AC;? Rayfield said about her aggressive play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to get around you. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to get in and get close contact.â&#x20AC;? Now in her freshman season, Warren fi nds herself in a starting spot on the back line after an injury to freshman Kara Marbury forced the team to move the lineup around. Rayfield felt Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience on the ice would help her fi ll a spot for the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough back line. Warren has looked good for Illinois, mirroring her older counterparts like sophomore Hope Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Addario and junior Amy Feher with her strength and skill on possession. With greater involvement on the Illinois soccer team, Warren has recently stopped skating in her free time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I do play, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be speedskating as much because I have a team relying on me,â&#x20AC;? Warren said. Now having an emerging role for the Illini and a chance to make Team USA for speedskating at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, there is the question of which sport Warren will choose going forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are both equal in my head,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am going to do both until I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do both â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that has always been my answer. If there ever comes a time that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skate because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurting soccer, then a decision has to be made, but right now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both working out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like choosing between two children, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it.â&#x20AC;?

The freshman golfer is a rising superstar in the golf team. She most recently tied for first place at the Diane Thomason Invite.

ne of the teams that have caught the attention of the University campus is the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team with its blazing hot start to the season and national No. 1 ranking. Because of this, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team and their accomplishments have gone unnoticed. This is not to say that the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is less talented. In their three tournaments on the year, the Illini have two topthree fi nishes. The first came in the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first event of the season. There it tied for third out of seventeen

teams. The only teams that fi nished ahead of the Illini were San Diego State and UNLV. The team shot a combined score of 17-overpar and even though this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough for first, they still defeated 13 of the top teams on the West Coast. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smooth sailing for the Illini in the second tournament when they fi nished in 10th place out of fourteen teams in the Minnesota Invitational. Also, the Illini were unable to get an individual in the top 20 of the competition, with the best score coming from sophomore Stephanie Miller, who fi nished tied for 21st. After the disappointing fi nish in the second tournament, the Illini bounced back strongly with a firstplace showing at the Diane Thomason Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa.

The competition wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as strong as Illinois is used to, but the team excelled, shooting 14 strokes better than Iowa, who fi nished second. In the third round, the team combined for a score of 291, 3-over-par, which was good enough to put this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad in the record book, tied for the 10th best team round in the history of the Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf program. Freshman Dana Gattone brought home the tournament individual honors as she tied for the top spot with Northern Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lena Gautier at 226, 10-over. Miller fi nished the tournament in fifth place, while freshman Grace Park tied for 12th. The Illini have gotten off to a fast start and look to keep the momentum rolling next weekend at the

Hoosier Fall Invitational. This will be a great test for the team, who will be facing three other Big Ten schools as well as top teams like Notre Dame and Missouri. Despite not being considered one of the top teams on campus, the young womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team has already taken a big step in showing how good they can be this season and years to come. There are still plenty of events left on the season for the team to show how competitive they can be. This hot start doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only give fans confidence about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results, but the future looks bright for the Illinois womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team.

Bailey happy to shed redshirt, play this season BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

Not much has gone according to plan for Illinois football this week. Aaron Bailey might know that best. The sophomore quarterback didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to play at all this season. The original plan for Bailey was to have him sit out this season and redshirt in order to preserve his three remaining years of eligibility. But that plan changed Sunday when Illinois announced that starting quarterback Wes Lunt had fractured his fibula. Now, Bailey fi nds himself competing with senior Reilly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole for Luntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job heading into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Aaron Bailey could come in and help us win the football game, Aaron Bailey would be in,â&#x20AC;? head coach Tim Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guaranteed any redshirts.â&#x20AC;? Bailey said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather play a few downs this sea-

son than wait another season, even if it meant losing his redshirt eligibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on with the future,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take it day-by-day.â&#x20AC;? Bailey has seen increased reps this week in practice, now in the second-string spot behind Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole while Lunt recovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven,â&#x20AC;? Beckman said of Bailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the capabilities to run our offense. This is a blessing that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some quarterbacks that can play and that have played a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Although Beckman has confidence in the sophomore, Bailey hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played a game since last season, when he took only 25 snaps. While his playing time was limited, it came in opportune situations. Bailey said his experience playing at Soldier Field against Washington and on the road against Penn State helped him learn how to adjust to big-time

atmospheres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest thing with any young guys,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said of the large crowds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you get that out of your head, you can focus on the game you have to play.â&#x20AC;? Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing time often came on short-yardage situations and inside the redzone, where he ran for three touchdowns on 20 attempts, rushing for 83 total yards. Critics of Bailey say his game is one-dimensional â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he will rely on running the ball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but offensive coordinator Bill Cubit believes his ability to throw will surprise defenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a strong arm throwing downfield,â&#x20AC;? Cubit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needs experience. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to go out there and see blitzes and throw the ball on time. Sometimes he does it very well in practice, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no substitute for games.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question Bailey lacks the experience Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole

Dudek named to watchlist for countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top WR Freshman wide receiver Mike Dudek was added to the watch list for the 2014 Biletnikoff Award on Tuesday. The Biletnikoff Award is given to the best wide receiver in the nation each year. The Illini receiver currently has three touchdowns on 33 receptions in Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first six games and ranks

19th in the country in receiving yards (539), second among all freshmen. Dudek is just 138 yards shy of breaking Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record for receiving yards by a freshman, held by Arrelious Benn, and is on pace for the eighth 1,000-yard receiving season in Illinois football history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just comes with hard work,â&#x20AC;? Dudek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep working hard and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settle.â&#x20AC;?

On Saturday, Dudek became the fourth receiver in Illini history to have 200 yards in a game. He also ranks fifth in the country in catches of more than 20 yards. The Biletnikoff Award is decided via fan voting online. Semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 17, while the winner will be announced at the Dec. 11 Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN.

Morris brothers share contract, money ASHLEY WIJANGCO Sports columnist

rowing up as a Chicago Bulls fan, I never gave much thought to the Phoenix Suns. Even when I became more interested in the NBA, to me, the Suns were just that team Steve Nash was on, but that all changed when they selected Markieff Morris in the 2011 draft. The only reason I really knew about Markieff was because he and his twin brother Marcus played for Kansas, one of the only college basketball teams I paid attention to. They declared for the NBA Draft together, and that was likely the end of their intertwined basketball journey. As excited as I was to see Markieff go to Phoenix at No. 13 and Marcus go to Houston at No. 14, it saddened me to think they had to part ways, and that’s mostly because I’m an iden-

tical twin too. I realized that they could be even further apart, but they were about to be separated for the first time. Then, on Feb. 21, 2013, the Morris twins were reunited after Marcus was traded to the Suns. They became the second pair of twins to play on the same NBA team. From then on, I knew I wanted them to remain together, not simply because it’s what they wanted, but because it was the best option for everyone. Both twins are at the top of their game now, and that has helped the Suns become a threat in a loaded Western Conference. Looking back at the trade now, it certainly seems like a no-brainer, but what’s even better is what Phoenix recently realized about the duo: They need to stay. On Sept. 30, the Suns signed Marcus and Markieff to four-year contract extensions, and there’s nothing really special about that; players sign contract extensions all the time, but what made their particular

extensions unique is all in the details. There was $52 million to split amongst the twins for the extensions, but how it was split wasn’t up to management or the coaching staff. It was the twins’ choice. It’s an unusual situation, but playing professional basketball alongside your identical twin isn’t common either. For Lon Babby, the Suns President of Basketball Operations, to give them that kind of freedom is something I can respect as both a twin and a basketball fan. The Morris twins were fortunate enough to both end up in Phoenix, even if it happened separately. But the NBA is still a business, meaning they would need a lot of luck to remain on the same team. So not only does Babby’s decision show how much the Suns respect Marcus and Markieff, but it also shows the twins’ trust in the organization. It shows how much the Suns value the Morris twins as individuals, as a unit and as a family. They’re not the only family

Phoenix has become a fan of, though. Just one day before the Morris twins signed their contract extensions, the Suns signed Zoran Dragic, joining his brother and Suns point guard Goran Dragic. The move made them the first European set of brothers to play on the same NBA team, and it also made Phoenix the first team in league history to have two pairs of brothers on the same roster. Zoran, who went undrafted in the 2011 NBA Draft, garnered attention from NBA teams after competing for Slovenia in the 2014 FIBA World Cup. The 25-year-old guard averaged 14.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 26.3 minutes while shooting 50 percent from the field. In addition, he has been playing professional basketball internationally since he was 15. Phoenix already has a loaded backcourt, so whether or not Zoran cracks the rotation is yet to be seen. But the fact that the Suns are taking a chance on him

Marcus Morris (22) and Markieff Morris played college basketball together at Kansas before being drafted No. 13 and No. 14 in the NBA Draft. Now, they play for the Suns. says they want to give him the chance to fulfill his NBA dream alongside his older brother. There’s no question that making it to the NBA is a difficult task. The chance to make it to the same NBA team as your brother is even less likely, but the Suns know that family value is worth it, which I can

certainly respect. Even though the Bulls will always have my heart, it’s for that reason that I’ll be more of a Phoenix fan now than ever before.

Freshmen golfers work together to adjust BY LAUREN MROZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Last season, the Illinois men’s golf team tied for fifth at the NCAA Championships — their third topfive finish over the past four years. The team’s 3-2 loss to top-seeded Stanford was determined by only one hole that kept the Illini from reaching the national semifinals. As hard as this close loss may have been for head coach Mike Small and the Illinois coaching staff in late May, there was much to look forward to at the start of the season. In addition to its top four contributors from last season, the Illini added four talented freshmen to this year’s lineup. Three of the freshmen were among the top-five recruits in their respective states, Nick Hardy (No. 2 in Ill.), Dylan Meyer (No. 2 in Ind.) and Colin Proctor (No. 5 in Ind.).

Hardy, Meyer and the Illini’s fourth freshman, Spencer Reed, all competed in the team’s first fall tournament at the Olympia Fields Fighting Illini Invitational. Facing off against teams of second and third national rankings, Meyer tied for first with Stanford’s Maverick McNealy. Hardy tied for 12th, while Reed tied for 38th. In their following tournament at the Wolf Run Intercollegiate, Hardy tied for eighth and Meyer tied for 19th. “They’re doing great,” Small said of his freshmen. “I think they fit in with the team very well. They’ve shown that they have the ability to compete in Division I golf. I’m anxious to see how they fit in academically moving forward, but they are doing great golf-wise.” The transition into college has been fairly smooth for Hardy and Meyer. Having spent most of their

high school days either in school or on the golf course, they said that their schedules at Illinois have been a lot easier than before. Not only do they have more free time outside of the classroom, but the Illini are also finishing up a three-week break between tournaments, which the freshmen said they have used to relax and catch up on schoolwork. A heavily golf-oriented schedule is nothing new for both Hardy and Meyer, whose fathers initiated each of their golf careers at a young age. “My dad (introduced me to golf) back when I started walking and would take me to the par-3 course by my house.” Hardy said. “I carried plastic clubs around the backyard, and yeah, I’m definitely responsible for a few broken windows.” Although they competed in a few of the same junior tournaments, Hardy and Meyer did not form their

current friendship until after Meyer committed to Illinois. Their equal rankings coming into college have sparked a bit of rivalry between the two freshmen for state bragging rights; however, they know the internal competition is far from toxic and encourages each golfer to build on one another. “We’re just an extra motivation for each other.” Hardy said. “When there’s competition within your team, there’s more competition with other teams.” Both freshmen were looking for more than just a successful team record when deciding which college they would choose to play for. From their perspective, Small’s accomplished reputation will provide that. “I know Coach Small has a great attitude and mindset.” Meyer said. “He’s developed his teams over the years, and that’s something that I

need to advance my game. I can always improve physically, but there’s just something there that he has with the mental side of it.” Both Hardy and Meyer are confident in the team’s ability to return to the national quarterfinals again this season, with a hope of advancing even further. Although only two tournaments into the season, the freshmen are excited to represent the top-ranked team and predict no stopping point throughout the season. “We compete every day.” Meyer said. “We get better every day. Coach doesn’t slack off. We don’t slack off. If you want to become the best player you can be, Illinois is going to push you to do that.”

NFL draft win highlights IOTW Chicago’s Super Bowl woes

FROM 1B

MICHAL DWOJAK Assistant sports editor

hen it was announced on Thursday that the 2015 NFL Draft would be held in Chicago, I was left with mixed feelings. I was excited because the draft will leave Radio City Music Hall and come to the city that I love. When it became known that the two finalists to host the draft were Chicago and Los Angeles, I thought Los Angeles would get chosen because of the Nokia Theater and the ongoing initiative to establish an NFL franchise there. But Chicago was the victor and is going to be the host to one of the NFL’s most important events for a week. Unfortunately, the draft was a consolation prize. Winning the rights to host the draft more than likely means that Chicago will never host a Super Bowl, based on a mistake that was made 13 years ago. In 2001, the Chicago Park District announced that historic Soldier Field would be renovated — its interior completely redone while most of the outside would be preserved. It was a discussion that the city had for 10 years prior to the announcement. Plans of building a stadium in northwest suburb Arlington Heights or constructing one across from Chicago Stadium were thrown around, but the decision was made to stay by the lakefront and to keep Soldier Field mostly intact. The decision was met with criticism from dozens of writers and columnists. It received mixed reviews from the architecture community. Chicago Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin called it the “Eyesore on the Lake Shore.” People to this day say it’s as if “a spaceship landed on the stadium.” Not only was the renovation an architectural disaster, it cost the historic stadium. After the 2003 renovation, the stadium actually lost 5,000 seats and currently has a capacity of 61,500, the lowest among NFL stadiums. What was also lost was

JOHN SMIERCIAK TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Chicago’s renovated Soldier Field stadium is shown before the Bears’ Monday Night Football game on Sept. 29, 2003. the stadium’s historic status. After the renovations took so much away, a 10-member federal advisory committee unanimously decided that Soldier Field should be de-listed as a National Historic Landmark. The point of renovating was to keep the history alive on the lakefront; now that point is moot. Mistakes were made when deciding what to do about the stadium. Yes, it would’ve been a shame to see the historic stadium go, but such is the way of life. Comiskey Park had to go. So did Chicago Stadium. We’ve moved on. We remember the memories that the old facilities provided us, and we move on with the present. I hear little complaining about the United Center and U.S. Cellular Field. So what could’ve been done? Do what Indianapolis and Detroit did. Do what Dallas and Houston did. Do what Minneapolis is doing right now. Build a domed stadium with a retractable roof. What about “Bear weather?” What about it? The team needs all the help it can get during the winter when it’s fighting for a playoff spot. With a domed stadium, Chicago would have what the other cities have had and will have: Super Bowls. Chicago is world-renowned;

why shouldn’t it host a Super Bowl? It’s not just Super Bowls that Chicago is missing. The Big Ten championship game could’ve been played in Chicago instead of in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Chicago would’ve been able to host the Final Four. New York might be suggested as a glimmer of hope for Chicago. The truth is, New York was lucky that there wasn’t any snow during last year’s Super Bowl or the week leading up to it. Also, MetLife Stadium has a capacity of 82,566, over 20,000 more seats (and tickets) than Soldier Field. So yes, we did win the draft, and it will be a great experience at the Auditorium Theater when the dreams of college hopefuls come true and fans celebrate at the Fanfest at Grant Park. But it’s an indication that Chicago shouldn’t be expecting to host a Super Bowl in the near future. It’s not all bad news though, Bears fans. Mayor Rahm Emmanuel promises that he will start to look into the Soldier Field grass and investigate why exactly grass has trouble growing when it’s on top of a lake.

FOOTBALL make mistakes, it’s usually a game-changer,” Cubit said. “It’s not like an offensive lineman who misses a block and it’s like, ‘OK, he gets tackled for minus-two.’ When you make a mistake back there, it changes field position. It changes scores.” But Bailey said his oppor-

tunity to play last year taught him the things he could no longer do on the field that he was able to do in high school. Now, Bailey will be more alert along the sidelines — always one play away from being the most important player on the field, where he must prove himself to Illinois fans and, most importantly, Illinois coaches, if the time comes.

Honorable Mention Mike Dudek (football) The freshman had eight catches for 200 yards in the Illini’s 38-27 loss to Purdue on Saturday. His yardage was the fourthhighest single-game receiving total in Illinois history.

Spike Squad (volleyball student section)

This group led the Illinois fans in breaking Huff Hall’s attendance record during Illinois’ 3-1 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday. The 22-year-old record was snapped by the sellout crowd of 4,536, who also hit 105 on a decibel reader — making Illinois the loudest volleyball crowd ever.

Gattone has also attributed much of her excellence this season to her coaches, Renee Slone and Jenny Coluccio. “Coach Slone and Coach Jenny are amazing, and I think we mesh really well,” Gattone said. “They know how to talk to everyone, and play to each of our advantages to make us feel really comfortable out on the course.” Coming off of her victory in Iowa City, Gattone is looking forward to the team’s next event, the Hoosier Fall Invitational in Noblesville, Ind., and to the rest of the spring season beyond. “It is going to be a matchplay event this year and it’s something we don’t get to compete in often,” Gattone said. “I know Coach (Slone) is going to prepare us very well for it and who knows, it could be good practice for the NCAA’s.”

Illinois hopes to continue streak against Ohio State Game holds personal significance for McMahon era. Illinois is currently on a two-game winning streak and is 5-2 against Ohio State in the last three years. Both McMahon and the No. 15 Illini will get another chance to add to their respective totals Wednesday, as Illinois (11-4, 3-1 Big Ten) will travel to Ohio State (11-5, 2-2) to play its second mid-week match of the season. It will be a homecoming of sorts for McMahon, she expects her family and friends to be at the game in support. While she said her siblings will be cheering for the Buckeyes, they will also be rooting for her to have success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My siblings are my No. 1 fans so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liz vs. the Buckeyes,â&#x20AC;? McMahon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They root for me too.â&#x20AC;? In order for Illinois to continue its recent success against Ohio State, it will need to keep everyone involved. While McMahon and junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks have carried the Illini offensively from time to time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the team is able to get involved offensively that Illinois has been most dangerous. We still want to set the middle more,â&#x20AC;? head coach Kevin Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With everything else we like how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving the ball around. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a better job than we have.â&#x20AC;? The Illini will also need to find a way around the Buckeyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense, which ranks

BY NICHOLAS EDWARD DAVID FORTIN STAFF WRITER

Liz McMahon wanted to be different. McMahon, an Ohio native and senior opposite side hitter for the Illinois volleyball team, has two older siblings who both attended Ohio State. Her siblingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of school, along with the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing national recognition and the atmosphere and coaching staff at the time of her recruitment, influenced her decision to play at Illinois rather than Ohio State or elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came into this program when it was starting to be something really special, which was cool,â&#x20AC;? McMahon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The culture of it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the coaches, staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I really liked. I kind of wanted to not follow my brother and sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps.â&#x20AC;? Since joining the Illini, McMahon has been a prolific scorer and a leader on the team, no matter who the opponent across the net is, but her play seems to be elevated when she plays the Buckeyes. In seven matches against Ohio State during her career, McMahon has recorded double digit kills in all but one, tallied 103 kills, 22 blocks and averaged 14.71 kills per match. The Illini have also been fairly successful against the Buckeyes in the McMahon

fourth in the Big Ten in opponents kills and assists per set. McMahon said attacking Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense starts with trusting the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely going to focus on being physical offensively, but every game we pride ourselves on our defense too,â&#x20AC;? McMahon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a defensive battle and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to get in really long rallies knowing that we can keep defending and digging them.â&#x20AC;? On the offensive side of the ball, sophomore setter Allison Palmer said the Illini have been focusing on continuing to improve their setting to put the opposite and outside hitters in positions to score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really been doing in practice is making sure that we better each ball,â&#x20AC;? Palmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just continuing to try to get swings on every single chance is the best way we can beat such a defensive team.â&#x20AC;? Illinois will have its hands full with a Buckeyes team Hambly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;very offensive and physical.â&#x20AC;? McMahon said they are one of the fastest teams in the Big Ten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do a lot of interesting unique combinations, which is a little out of the ordinary for us,â&#x20AC;? McMahon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always a really, really competitive team.â&#x20AC;? For the Illini to have success, Palmer said the main keys are offensive balance
