Editor’s note: This is the final segment of a three-part series on one writer’s battle with panic disorder. y doctor thought my fi rst panic attack might have been an isolated incident and would pass on its own, but he gave me a prescription for Xanax in case it didn’t. Two weeks later, I went back for a follow-up appointment. I explained to my doctor that I had still been having bad panic attacks almost every day. He basically told me “too bad” and refi lled my Xanax prescription, which was rapidly depleting. It helped, but it wasn’t enough. I was miserable all the time, and my panic attacks were getting worse. I breathed in brown bags. I went for walks. I cried. I prayed. I called my parents and boyfriend, but all the while, I never really felt any better. I kept my Xanax with me at all times, and it was a constant struggle deciding whether to take it. I always wanted to, but I read it was as addictive as heroin, so I was afraid of what it could do to me. I didn’t need an addiction to prescription drugs on top of everything else. The medicine bottle sat on my night stand and reminded me when I woke up in the middle of the night or early morning that my chest pains were not a heart attack, but symptoms of my illness. I would start every day

Ill. House candidates debate taxes, education a priority and generating revenue for schooling. “Students in Champaign should receive the same value of education as the students in the suburbs,” Williamson said in regards to the importance of equity for Illinois public education. Ammons held similar beliefs regarding education and views against drug testing for community members who receive state monetary support. “I would not support any such law that would require people who are seeking support for their family to have to take any kind of test, in the same way that they require for you to take poll tests, literacy tests, or any kind of test to be able to vote,” Ammons said.

Candidates for 103rd district of the Illinois House of Representatives, Carol Ammons (D) and Kristin Williamson (R), went head to head Wednesday night in a debate held at the Champaign City Council Chambers. The two held similar policy opinions toward women’s rights, collective bargaining and voter ID laws, which showed the strong possibility of a bipartisan approach toward governance and legislature in the ChampaignUrbana communities. A focal point of both candidates’ policy plans was their initiatives for restructuring Illinois’ public education funding. Williamson said her three-point plan for education includes: equitable funding throughout the state, making the budget

OUT OF THE PANIC

Insider Higher Ed teamed with Gallup to interview 406 college and university admissions directors nationwide and gathered a census of where higher education in the U.S. stands. Scott Jaschik, editor and co-founder of Inside Higher Ed, gave his insight on the data.

International students remain central to the enrollment goals of multiple colleges, according to this study. Approximately 32 percent of admissions directors stated that they would push recruitment for international students. “Financial aid for international students is not necessarily going up with the enrollment,” Jaschik said. Jaschik said that there has been a significant growth of students in middle and upper classes in China, India and South Korea, as well as countries that have difficulty keeping up with the demand for higher education spots. Jaschik said that students from these countries are the top providers for most American colleges. According to the survey, 19 percent of admissions directors from both private, nonprofit and public institutions retain agents who are paid in part or full commission to recruit international undergraduates.

In mid-2013, President Barack Obama proposed a new ranking system for colleges nationwide that looked at college performance and federal financial aid rankings. The system is based on a wide variety of conclusions, such as graduation rates and post-graduate earnings. The ranking system was created to help students select the best college or university for them. However, based on a survey conducted by Inside Higher Ed and Gallup, they found that only 14 percent of admissions directors believe that Obama’s new system will help college applicants understand the institution they are applying to. Scott Jaschik, editor and co-founder of Inside Higher Ed, said the rankings have received a great deal of skepticism. Additionally, he said that admissions directors felt a number of institutions have given false information to U.S. News and World Report, which conducts its own college ranking.

strong, telling myself that I could get through the day on my own. I started feeling the symptoms of addiction coming on when I didn’t take it — headache, dizziness, stomach pains. So I decided that I was done with Xanax, telling myself that I was strong enough on my own, that I could make it without the help. But the cycle would start. Pain. Breaths. Craze. Fear. Terror. Thoughts. All of it unwanted — the cause, the relief, the side effects of taking it and of not taking it. How could three inches of orange plastic hold such pain and such relief? Who knew that such a blessing could become such a curse? A constant battle between self-reliance and constant terror or sweet bliss, followed by dizziness, headache, inability to sleep and loss of appetite. But in the end, sometimes strength does come from a bottle of pills. I gave up on myself. I thought I was done being a happy person. I thought the awfulness that my life had become was permanent. I thought that all the people I met for the rest of my life wouldn’t know the kind, happy person I used to be. I faked everything because that was the best I could do. The worst part was, I forgot what true happiness felt like. I let myself get to the point of deep depression, which I thought was my new reality. But after two months of almost constant panic attacks, I decided to try again. I convinced myself that my happiness meant

and the new approach will focus on students’ abilities to analyze source texts and effectively write, according to the College Board. According to the survey, 40 percent favor the SAT writing portion to be optional. The redesigned 2016 SAT will no longer penalize students for wrong answers. It will have an optional writing test and the point scale will return to 1600.

Citing a secret contract, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Leung accepted $6.4 million from Australian engineering firm UGL in relation to the company’s purchase of DTZ Holdings,

Students gather in the English Building on Tuesday to attend a workshop presented by the ICC Program and organized by the Career Center on how international students can find jobs and internships. Many foreign students feel at a disadvantage in the job search process.

International students struggle to find jobs BY LIYUAN YANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As more international students study in the U.S., getting jobs and internships has become a problem that many foreign students are facing. The Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange showed that the number of international students at universities in the U.S. increased by seven percent to a record high of 819,644 students in the 201213 academic year. This year, 9,871 international students are enrolled at the University and account for 22 percent of the student body. Career fairs are held at the University every fall and spring semester, which attract global enterprises such as Boeing, Nestle and Yelp. Although international students are presented with the resources, many have found that they aren’t being offered jobs and internships because they’re not from the U.S. “I was very disappointed. You know my grades are pretty good, and I got rejected just because I am an international student. It’s like finding something you cannot really change,� said Dylan Blommaert, graduate student from the Netherlands in the College of Law. There are four problems international students may encounter while looking for jobs and internships according to Un-Yeong Park, a doctoral student in Human Resource Development and career coach at the International Student Career Certificate program at the Career Center.

lems include: a limited number of work visas, communication skills, cultural awareness and a lack of work experience. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services grants 85,000 H-1B, or temporary work, visas annually for anyone looking for a job in the U.S. These visas allow U.S . businesses to hire foreign graduates of U.S. universities. The businesses are responsible for paying for the visas, which typically cost from $6,000 to $8,000, said Park. While the cap for visas sits at 85,000 per year, as of April 2014, U.S. businesses had already filed for 172,500 H-1B petitions. In this case, a lottery will be held to determine which businesses will receive the available visas. “I think the competition is very furious and tough�, Park said. “Less than 10,000 jobs are available to international undergraduate students who graduated recently.� The total temporary work visas account for international applicants of all ages and professional backgrounds, not just students and recent graduates. Park said that many companies are hesitant to hire or recruit international students for internships because they see interns as a future talent pool; however, if they cannot hire those students to work full time after the internship ends because the students will not be able to continue to work in the U.S. without a temporary work visa, the company loses what they invested in the intern. Park created the ICC Pro-

gram to help international students pursue a career in the U.S. The program teaches different job and interview strategies, such as elevator pitches to improve communication skills. He said some international students struggle with engaging in conversations with interviewers especially when it comes to asking the interviewer questions. “Communication is a much broader concept than the language problem,� said Park. “Communication involves the verbal and writing, and your writing should be very concise and persuasive and your verbal skills should be articulate.� The center also helps students become aware of the diverse culture in the U.S., which Park said is critical for students that want to pursue a career in the U.S. “In the U.S. it’s very individualistic whereas in China, Korea and even India, we are very collectivistic,� Park said. As international students continue to adjust, Park said it’s important for students to fi nd a balance between their academic performance and professional skill development. “They need to understand what they are, and who they are,� Park said. Many students are focused on the U.S. market, however, Park said there are many other countries that have potential career opportunities available to international students. “If you go outside the U.S. border, there are many countries welcoming you.�

something and was worth fighting for. I didn’t have to be scared anymore. I didn’t have to cry anymore. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life. I went to a different doctor, and he gave me a medicine to take every day called Paxil. This medicine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It does wonderful things in my brain that I don’t understand, but most of all it makes me smile again. But as the panic faded, depression came. Slowly at fi rst, then all of a sudden. I’ve read that depression is just a side effect, just another step along the way to getting better. I don’t think I am going to die all the time now - just sometimes, when the feelings are too strong to keep the panic at bay. I stopped crying so much, and I started living again. I gained the energy back to see my friends, to leave my house, to stop worrying about if an ambulance could get to me, or if I would die fi rst. Mental illness is exhausting. It is hard to carry on a normal life, even when you are getting treatment. Sometimes the smallest things set me off, like an unexpected event in my day or an offhand comment someone says. I’ll freeze up and won’t be able to function for a few minutes, or I’ll break down sobbing. Then, I’ll remember that it really will be OK, and I can overcome it. But instances like this always take me back to my dark days and the fear that I try to bury there. I’ll get over it, and, in a few hours, I’ll be great and happy again, just slightly shaken from the episode. The social connotations that go along with it are overwhelming. Sufferers of mental illness will agree that we are not as crazy as the umbrella term makes us seem. There are more of us than most people know, because most of us hide the suffering part of ourselves well. But we don’t have to. I don’t know when or if my struggle with mental illness will end, but I do know that I have hope for a normal life. I fought my way out of the hell I was living in. I found my way back to who I want to be, and I am happy. I made a choice to save myself because, in the end, I was the only one who could do it. Happiness is worth fighting for, and I realize that it was within my reach. All I had to do was trust that I was worth saving, that the person I was before mental illness was worth getting back.

Supreme court denies gay marriage licenses in Idaho and Nevada WA S H I NGT O N — Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy issued an order Wednesday to temporarily halt gay marriages in Idaho and Nevada, a day after a federal appeals court declared same-sex weddings legal in those states. Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch� Otter fi led an emergency request with Kennedy and the high court early Wednesday while the state seeks to appeal the U.S. 9th Circuit Court ruling that allowed gay marriage there. Otter called the 9th

Circuit’s decision “an enormous federal intrusion on state power to defi ne marriage,� and his lawyers insisted there was a “strong likelihood� the Supreme Court itself would disagree with the reasoning in the 9th Circuit’s opinion. Shortly afterward, Kennedy, who handles emergency appeals from the West Coast, issued a brief order to halt same-sex marriages in Idaho and Nevada.

Rithmio, a software company based in the EnterpriseWorks Incubator at Research Park, recently gained $650,000 in seed round funding from business investors to develop their gesture recognition platform. The gesture recognition software that automatically learns new gestures as they are being performed, was cofounded by Prashant Mehta, professor in Engineering, and Adam Tilton, University alumnus. The platform can be installed in wearable devices, such as: smart watches, cell phones, applications of health care and physical therapy rehabilitations and applications for security and video game controllers. Tilton said that the typical training for gesture recognition in wearable devices can take up to three months to learn one gesture. This is because a large amount of data must be collected and processed through a machine-learning algorithm, which then creates a representation of what that gesture will look like. All of this is done before the device is shipped to users. “Our devices, in as little as six to ten seconds, can learn new activities and all the user has to do to train it is to perform the activity. What that means is you go to the gym and you do your work out while wearing your wearable devices, and our software will learn all the unique activities that you did,� Tilton said. “This greatly increases the potential for use of gesture recognition. We break through all the limitations.� The company won the University’s Cozad New Venture Competition in April, which encourages students to form their own businesses. Tilton said participating in and winning the competition was a breakthrough for Rithmio. The seed funding, led by Marcin Kleczynski, CEO of Malwarebytes and University alumnus, began in May and its total was announced

in late September. Contributions were made by: Illinois Ventures, Hyde Park Venture Partners, Techra Investments and Serra Ventures — all of which were Cozad judges. Guy Turner, managing partner at Hyde Park Venture Partners, said Tilton was the main reason for investing in Rithmio, calling him a “brilliant technologist who also has a knack for business.� Rob Schultz, vice president of Serra Ventures, said his company has been working with and advising the Rithmio team for the last six months. “When we invested, their technology was in a prototype form. The initial funding will help them get the technology to more of a commercial form, so the customers can actually use it,� Schultz said. “We believe and we are hopeful that they will be able to identify and land a couple of big customers and companies that are building wearable hardware and wearable technology that will need Rithmio’s gesture recognition platform.� Rithmio intends to use the seed funding to create a technology that can excel in a gesture recognition platform. Tilton said the company will soon release software developer kits for both iOS and Android, which will allow developers to use the gesture recognition platform to build their own applications. “Many of the major electronic manufacture companies are interested in what we are working on in Rithmio, and I would expect that in 2015 you will start to see products in the market that are powered by the Rithmio gesture recognition platform,� Tilton said. “Even though we closed our seed round and things look very good, we’re still very much at the starting line. There’s a lot left for Rithmio to go and do and resolve to be a commercially reliable company.�

Take advantage of health resources

O

ur University is a leader in offering accommodating resources for students. The start of the Division of Rehabilitation Education Services in 1948 made Illinois the first school to have a post-secondary disability support program, and since then, the University has remained ahead of the curve. DRES is most often associated with projects that include building the first wheelchairaccessible fixed route bus system, accessible residence halls and a collegiate adapted sports and recreation program for students with disabilities. What people seem to be less familiar with are the services DRES offers for students with mental illnesses. In light of Mental Illness Awareness Week, we want to point out the importance of addressing mental illness and the necessity of seeking help when needed. For students on campus, they should know that they have options. They can work with the DRES staff to find the solutions that best fit their needs. They can have priority registration for classes. They can take advantage of the free and unlimited therapy DRES offers. The DRES department even works with professors so the students enrolled in their classes can continue to succeed academically. We’re proud that our University has a program that offers these options to students who need them. But the negative stigma often associated with mental illness is enough to drive people away from seeking help. Mental health is a topic that shouldn’t be ignored, especially on a college campus. College is a melting pot of failure and success, of highs and lows. Students are trying to figure out what they want to do for the rest of their lives while dealing with the social and academic pressures of being a student at a prestigious institution. And on top of that, many have to deal with student loans, rent and other financial struggles. Students are under a lot of pressure, and it’s OK for them to seek help if it becomes too much to handle. They are not alone. The National Alliance on Mental Illness says one in four people between the ages of 18 and 24 has a diagnosable mental illness. Since 2000, the number of students who are registered with DRES for psychological reasons has increased 90 percent, yet only 344 students were registered with DRES during the 2013-14 academic year for psychological reasons — this is less than 1 percent of the student population. Mental illness is something very real and very prevalent. We need to accept that this is an issue that needs to be discussed and appropriately addressed. The University has some of the best resources for students struggling with mental illness, and those who need help should not be ashamed to use these services to improve not only their educational experiences, but their overall well-being.

Give your support, not just money REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist

If

you walked on the Quad any time in the last week, you probably noticed that the University has been painted pink. Sayings such as “save second base� and “I love boobies� are plastered across the chests of students, and many RSOs are campaigning for donations. Looking past all of the fun activities that October brings, the month honors something extremely close to my heart and the hearts of many students. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We always hear that being diagnosed with cancer not only affects the sick person, but also the people they are closest to. I know this firsthand. Flashback to high school — my mom was driving me to dance practice, and she said she had something to tell me. It was then she broke the news that my aunt, whom I had grown extremely close with, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Being relatively young,

I was not completely sure what it all meant, but I did know one thing: It wasn’t fair. All I had ever seen her as was a young, healthy mom. I couldn’t fathom the fact that she was sick. For the next few years I truly learned what it meant to be empathetic and give unconditional support to someone in need, something people should focus on in addition to giving monetary support. Far too often when we talk about cancer, we focus on donations, and we forget that giving compassion is just as good as gifts. Regardless of whether you know someone with a disease, you can help by visiting nursing homes or care facilities or even volunteering at hospitals. During the years of my aunt’s treatment and recovery, I made it my goal to do everything I could to make her fight easier. Anything from wrapping her Christmas presents to hanging out with her kids, I was willing. This was one of the first times in my life I fully knew what it was like to be completely selfless and give someone else my complete focus. And it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. As college students, we

are extremely busy. We never sit down or let ourselves breathe. Because of this, it is easy to unintentionally put ourselves first and not prioritize helping or supporting others. But my aunt was fighting a ruthless battle. She didn’t feel like herself, and she had to shave her head, yet she still continued with her commitments at home and to her family. Flash forward to a few years later — I finally got the news I had been waiting for. “Your aunt is 100 percent cancer free.� The previous few years had been overwhelming, scary, stressful and eyeopening, but in the end, my aunt won the battle. She fought breast cancer like a girl, and she won. Whether it be breast cancer or another illness, we should embrace the power of empathy. Our loved ones need our support. Whether it be cooking them a meal, baby-sitting their children or even simply paying them a visit to watch their favorite movie, little things make a huge difference. Just a year ago, I received another phone call. I found out that my grandma was also diagnosed with the disease, but they caught it early

so the doctors predicted she would be fine. Having already gone through it with my aunt, I offered her the same emotional support. Every time I was home from school, I made it a priority to go see her and provide her with companionship. My grandma has done so much for me over the years, so it was the least I could do for her. Like I said, a cancer diagnosis not only affects the sick person, it affects everyone they are close to. I am unbelievably lucky that these strong women won their fight because not all are so lucky. I cannot imagine all of the people out there, fighting for their lives, without the same kind of support. Breast Cancer Awareness Month will always hold a spot in my heart, and I encourage every student on this campus to find a cause they are passionate about and ways to support the people directly affected. Even little things go a long way. If you know someone who is suffering, please offer them unconditional love and support. Having this support aids in their recovery and healing.

Students should prioritize learning YUNJO JEONG Opinions columnist

C

ollege is an exciting time for most of the students here at the University. In college, everything is different than in high school and middle school, from the scale of campus size to course workload and variety. Overall, college life is full of awesome, new opportunities. The four years during which students prepare for their final stages of being who they’ve been for most of their lives — students — are valuable not only academically, but also socially. As I experience college life, I see that many students have a lot of fun. Parties, outings and even simple games in the open lounge of the residence hall are all types of merriment students partake in on campus. It is good to see college students enjoying entertainment in an academic setting with seemingly comfortable ease. You can see it on their faces; to me, most students do not look perpetually stressed out, but rather seem to be doing their work and enjoying life at the same time. But, at the risk of sounding like a mother, students should make sure they spend

enough time focusing on their academics. After all, students still have a lot to learn, and classes, designed to prepare them for life after graduation, should always be the first priority. And with the University readily providing so many academic opportunities such as internships and research, students should also take advantage of these experiences. In doing so, they’ll be better prepared for the workforce. It’s not about sitting in the library all day long, poring over thick textbooks and busily writing papers; it’s more about fulfilling the responsibilities any student has. A student’s basic responsibilities are not too complicated; one only has to go to class, do homework and take exams. While pursuing extra opportunities is beneficial, it is not required. I admit it. Freedom is important, and students are perfectly allowed to do whatever they wish, within the boundaries of University regulations. Students are free to choose not to go to class and to instead make their own priorities. But I disagree with this choice. Whatever priorities students may make, I feel there are some duties that should not be forgotten. Entertainment and having fun are certainly important and an inevitable part of student life. But sometimes,

I feel students should remind themselves of their main role on this campus: being students and preparing for their futures. Call me stuffy, but I think there are some basic rules that students should stick to. Go to class. It’s not for anybody else; it’s solely for your own sake. Learn more, and get prepared for your future. The University has worldclass faculty who have written books and won awards. They’ve found the kind of success most of us one day hope to find. Not only can these educators provide us with useful information, but they can also serve as references and mentors when we have academic concerns or when the time comes to search for jobs. But if you do not regularly show up to class, you will likely miss out on those benefits. It’s quite clichÊ, saying that people should study for the future, but it’s the truth. Accounting majors could never find work in their fields if they didn’t learn the intricacies of income statements and balance sheets, nor could engineering majors master their fields without first mastering the mathematics and physics required for their majors. And sometimes self-studying these in-depth courses is not as effective as learning from professors. Students should also do

more than just go to class; they should be on time. Attendance really does not amount to anything if you show up to class five minutes before the session ends. Don’t wake up ten minutes before class starts and slowly stroll over to the classroom; wake up just a few minutes earlier and get to class when it starts, instead of walking into a classroom in the middle of class and disturbing everyone else who was there on time, ready to learn. Social gatherings are important. Friends are important. But college is different than lower-levels of school. High schools and middle schools asked students to study hard and stay focused at all times. College doesn’t necessarily ask for that; at least, no one gets detention for skipping. College is more about becoming an adult. We are in a transitional stage, in which we have both the characteristics of an adult and a student. With the increased freedom in college, students are taught to become responsible. I feel that students, while being responsible for their actions and enjoying themselves, should remember their most important priority: learning.

Attendees and performers enjoy the inaugural Champaign-Urbana Oktoberfest at the Big Grove Tavern on Oct. 12. This year’s CU Oktoberfest will take place on Saturday.

CU Oktoberfest returns with new beer and familyfriendly activities BY SUSAN SZUCH

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With polka music and lively people dancing by in traditional costumes of dirndl and lederhosen, the Champaign-Urbana Oktoberfest is a celebration of German beer and culture, much like its predecessors in Munich and across Germany. German festivals are often attended by millions of people from all around the world to experience festivities as they drink beer and sing together. However, unlike other German festivals across the nation, CU Oktoberfest brings the community together for a different reason — to benefit Champaign’s Developmental Services Center, or DSC. The second annual Champaign-Urbana Oktoberfest will take place on Saturday, from 3 p.m. to midnight in the parking lot at Washington & Neil streets. Tickets for entry are $5, and food can be bought using tickets. Throughout the night, there will be three different polka bands: Die Musikmakers, The Polkaholics and Bolzen Beer Band. In addition to food from Chester’s BBQ food truck, event goers can experience authentic German food provided by White Horse Inn, which includes 1,000

of that is because it was new. So, I think we’re trying to address all of those issues, too, as we move forward and keep this evolution going and learn from this year: What did people enjoy, what did people not enjoy, what were the stumbling blocks and what could we do better next year?” CU Oktoberfest is also borrowing old traditions from the Munich, Germany, festival to create an authentic atmosphere, attracting people from as far as 50 miles away to attend this year’s event. Some attendees even go as far as to dress up in traditional clothing, according to Wiesn-Chef Achim vonBodman. “More and more people are getting lederhosen or the dirndl. I’ve helped a few people go and purchase dirndl straight from Germany,” vonBodman said. “There is a lot of costume to this event that people are excited about, that people are going out and buying clothing for a specific event, so that’s pretty cool.” In Germany, the mayor of Munich taps the first keg at Oktoberfest to signal the start of the festival, and the mayor of Champaign will be doing the same thing at CU Oktoberfest. “As much as we can do to make this pretty authentic feeling, we’re going to continue to do that,” vonBodman said.

her oncologist over the three days while she was in the hospital, they decided to lower the dosage of chemo that she was receiving. “The fact that you know what you are doing (chemotherapy) is preventive, it really keeps you going,” Angie said. Throughout her treatment, Angie continued to go into work for the first half of the week as often as she could. The chemotherapy would continue until February 2013 when she received her final treatment. But for Angie, it is support from others that helped her get through the “marathon” of breast cancer. From the diagnosis, Angie’s treatment lasted 18 months, but with the possibility of reoccurrence and hormone therapy, Angie is looking at a total of seven years for her breast cancer battle. Her treatments are scheduled to end in 2018. “It takes a lot of personal strength, and it takes a huge support network,” she said. “I was very, very, very lucky to have a number of friends, families and my co-workers here were amazing.” Included in that support group were her sorority sisters. As an adviser for Gamma Phi Beta, Angie has made countless relationships with the girls in the sorority since taking over, including Dana Glink, a 2013 University ACES alumna. Glink served as the president as a sophomore and began to immediately work with Angie. Despite having an adviser-student relationship to begin with, Glink said it grew into a friendship that continues today. “Angie is an incredible woman,” Glink said. “There were days where it was really hard, where you can see on her face that she looked different and she just looked tired and things like that. But she was always Angie, and she was always pushing her-

self. She was always positive about her outcome.” But for her colleagues, while Angie is back in the office, her cancer isn’t always on the forefront. “I think that cancer becomes a part of your life, but it doesn’t necessarily define you,” said John Kelley, director of advancement operations for the College of Engineering. “She has a vibrancy to life whether it is with her work here in the office or her work with her sorority or giving back ... It’s the little things she does.” Kelley said that one of the first times Angie returned to the office after her first surgery for treatment was for the Engineering at Illinois Hall of Fame in 2012. The event was not only one of the largest events of the year for Angie and the department, but also a part of her four-item “breast cancer bucket list.” Angie said the list also included celebrating her mother’s birthday on Oct. 8 of that year, attending her son Jordan’s family weekend at Ball State University and seeing her son John’s performance in “Much Ado about Nothing” at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa — a sixhour drive. All of which was done while Angie was going through chemo. But for now, she has a 90 percent chance of survival, four years left of hormone therapy and a full head of hair. “You can survive breast cancer. It is a marathon, it is not a sprint, and it is worth it,” Angie said. “Every cancer survivor has their own individual story. It is important for everybody to know that. No two are the same, but everyone is just as important and just as inspirational as mine is. I am just one person, and I just happen to be the person you are talking to.”

Cancer Institute. For Angie and her family, that likelihood rose to 87 percent, she said. The Tuesday after Angie received the confirmed diagnosis, she told her husband and older son, John, at home that night. But Angie was forced to tell her younger son, Jordan, via Skype, because he was in London at the time. It was something she said she would never forget because the video wouldn’t work on the call. It was then that Angie made the one regret she has about her cancer. “I told my mom and my sister on speaker phone, rather than driving down to tell them,” she said. “I knew I couldn’t do without crying, and I knew if I cried, they would cry. I knew they were going to fall apart ... It devastated my mother and my sister, absolutely devastated them.” Angie said she continued to update both friends, family, co-workers and students about her story through both Facebook and her CaringBridge page. Following the diagnoses, Angie had a right mastectomy. Four weeks later, on Sept. 26, 2012, she began her first chemotherapy session at the Mills Breast Cancer Institute at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, not knowing what to expect. “Everyone has heard of horror stories from chemotherapy, but I just tried to be very self-disciplined to say, ‘Alright, I am starting neutral, and if something happens, it does. If something doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen,’ ” she said. But her first treatment didn’t go as planned. Angie was admitted to the hospital two days following the chemo due to her strong reaction. After speaking with

pounds of German sausage. The event also features beer from Destihl in Champaign, as well as a beer brewed especially for CU Oktoberfest by local brewing companies Triptych in Savoy, The Blind Pig and JT Walker’s Brewery in Champaign. According to Andrew Gravlin, manager of The Blind Pig Co. and The Blind Pig Brewery, the recipe is the same as last year, but with a few improvements. “It’s very malty,” Gavlin said. “It’s fairly dark color for an Oktoberfest. You’ll see some German ones now that are much lighter — this is definitely a malt-forward. It’s probably going to taste a little different because we were able to brew it a little sooner this year and let it lager longer, so that should help clear it up; it shouldn’t be quite as hazy as last year.” After running into problems with food as well as beer distribution at last year’s festival due to the unexpected influx of people that attended, CU Oktoberfest is learning from their experiences in addition to focusing on becoming more family-friendly, said Janice McAteer, director of development at DSC. This year, the event features face painting, balloon making and polka dance lessons from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., as well as live music throughout the night. “Last year, we had a lot of people come, too, and ask us why it wasn’t an all-day event,” McAteer said. “Part

Faculty member on the home stretch of her ‘marathon’ battle Editor’s note: This is the first part of a weekly series to feature campus breast cancer survivors in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. BY DECLAN HARTY ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

It was a Monday when Angie Dimit found the lump. Overwhelmed by the possibility of what it could be and a cousin’s recent death, she didn’t tell her husband, her two sons, her mother or her siblings. Instead, she remained “neutral.” Refusing to self-diagnose, Angie underwent a biopsy and an ultrasound the next day. But it was then that her doctors confirmed it was invasive lobular carcinoma — breast cancer. That was 2012. Now, just over two years post-diagnosis and 20 months after her final chemotherapy treatment, Angie, director of advancement for the College of Engineering, is back in her office and hopes to spread what she learned in her breast cancer battle to others.

“I think, as a survivor, all of us really feel like it is important that other people understand that there is no ‘typical’ experience, but that when you hear you have cancer, you just become a fighter,” Angie said. Now in her 27th year on the faculty at the University, Angie said her desire to pay forward her knowledge and promote education and awareness of breast cancer stems from the support she received during her own battle. Angie is co-chair for this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Oct. 18 at Meadowbrook Park, located at 2808 S. Race St. in Urbana. The walk is a 5K backed by the American Cancer Society, which allows survivors, patients, families and friends to raise awareness for breast cancer. It was last year’s event that sparked Angie’s interest. Even though she was in a clinical trial at the time for breast cancer, Angie decided to participate despite hesitations. “I didn’t even know last year if I

could walk a 5K. I was still in treatments, but I found it to be so inspiring. That’s why I decided to get involved in it again,” she said. For Angie, her battle with breast cancer was partially a matter of lineage. The diagnosis came at a time when Angie discovered she had a rare gene mutation, which is caused from a long family history of cancer. Her father passed away due to prostate cancer, and her mother is a colon cancer survivor. The majority of her father’s family members had been diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetimes as well. When the gene, BRCA2, has an abnormality, it increases the likelihood to develop breast cancer for women. For most women, approximately 12 percent of the population will develop breast cancer, according to the National

While Halloween may still be a few weeks out, the Immersed in Ink Tattoo Arts and Horror Festival is bringing the creepy atmosphere to Champaign-Urbana starting Friday with live tattooing, body suspension and celebrity guests. The festival will be visiting Champaign for the fi rst time as the fi nal stop on its ten-city tour. It will take place at the Fluid Event Center, located at 601 N. Country Fair Drive, on Friday beginning at 2 p.m. and will continue through the weekend ending Sunday night. Tickets are $20 each day and a weekend pass costs $35. On Friday, a $5 discount for the day will be given to anyone wearing a costume. One of the main attractions is live tattooing. Three Champaign artists will be featured at the festival for the fi rst time: Eric Cain from Flatland Tattoo as well as Justin Brewer and Sean McMillan from Revolt Tattoo Studio. Revolt is also one of the festival’s sponsors. With more than 78 tattoo artists on tour from all over the country, there are plenty of options for those who are considering getting inked. “There is a large pool of artists

to choose from, so maybe if there is something that’s not a specialty of people in your area or if there’s a particular person you really like ... they are going to be there,” Cain said. However, according to Cain, due to the cost of purchasing a booth and traveling, artists often need to increase their rates. Planning ahead is also important. “If you’ve got the artist in mind and know what you want to get done, it’s always best to make an appointment, especially at a convention,” Brewer said. Getting a tattoo at a festival can also be a different experience than having it done in a private shop, according to Brewer. While there is no equipment limitation, “it’s just more fast-paced,” McMillan said. “There’s so many people around and then you get crowds gathering around you.” Public tattooing may not be quiet and relaxing, but it is defi nitely safe, according to Brewer. Everything is fully regulated by the state, and there will be no amateur stickand-pokes either. “Anyone and everyone that’s there has to have their tattoo license, they have to have their blood-borne pathogens, everything has to be safe and regulated. And that’s good,” Brewer said. No festival would be complete without celebrity guests, and the Tattoo and Horror Festival is no exception. Horror movie stars Tony Moran and Bob Elmore, better known as Michael Myers from “Halloween” and Leatherface from “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,” are featured in Q-and-A panels along with nine other actors, makeup artists and stuntmen.

For fans, the festival is a perfect opportunity to talk to a favorite actor or artist because, according to McMillan, the celebrities are willing to speak with festival goers. “That’s why they’re there: to be bothered,” he said. Horror, the other subject of the festival, is also readily available and not for the faint of heart. Human suspension performance and sideshows will be performed by 313 Suspension . The two shows include “hooks, flesh, sparks, fi re and who knows what else,” wrote Stephen Bennett, 313 piercer, in an email . The Captain’s Sideshow and Tom Hills’ Carnival of Curiosity and Chaos add a sideshow element to the festival. The Carnival features fi re-breathers, burlesque and straightjacket escapes. The Captain’s Sideshow is a solo act by Dustin Mathis, which is sponsored by Metal Mafi a . Described by Mathis as a “punkrock, Coney Island kind of show,” the acts test the limits of his pain threshold with stunts such as jumping on broken glass and laying on a bed of nails. The “Carnie Sandwich” entails laying between two beds of nails while a cinderblock and human volunteer are put on top.

Hoops recruit Thomas set to decide Oct. 21 ALEX ROUX Basketball columnist

D

uring this roller coaster of a recruiting season, no Illini recruit has been more fun to follow than Elijah Thomas. Sure, Illinois fans received the best news of the fall so far when Jalen Coleman-Lands committed to John Groce on Sept. 23, but Coleman-Lands’ recruiting saga had a more toned-down approach than the pursuit of Thomas, the talented big man out of Texas. Thomas is the type of kid who can make recruiting fun. He’s a well-spoken, enthusiastic person to talk to. He seems to thoroughly enjoy the recruiting process. He’s also a great follow on Twitter. For a social media-hungry fan base like Illinois, Thomas is both a blessing and a curse. He interacts with fans on the Internet in a good-natured way, giving them hope while not letting any real clues leak out regarding which school he might attend. Of course, that leaves the most rabid fans desperate for more. Oh, and he also has Waka Flocka Flame in his corner. For what it’s worth, the rapper called Thomas the No. 1 prospect in the country. But for all the fun Thomas Watch 2014 has been, it

seems Thomas himself is almost ready to let the hype wind down. On Tuesday, he revealed he will announce his decision Oct. 21 at his high school (with Waka in attendance, of course) via a news conference. Thomas chose that day because he’s ready to shift his focus away from recruiting, and he feels he’ll have made up his mind on a school by that point. “You set that (date) because of the way you feel, because you feel like you’ll be deciding by then,� Thomas said. “My whole goal is to decide where I’m going to college so I can focus on my senior year of high school and hopefully graduate with a 4.0 (GPA). So I feel like if I do it early, I’ll be able to focus on those things. That’s pretty much my main focus.� Thomas will take all of his official visits before announcing a decision. He has one last visit scheduled, to Texas A&M this weekend, and he’s fresh off a visit to SMU last weekend. Thomas loved his SMU visit, which was highlighted by the chance to interact with Mustangs head coach Larry Brown. Besides hanging out with the legendary coach, Thomas also enjoyed himself during the rest of his time on the campus, which included a chance to watch a SMU practice.

Illinois’ Reilly O’Toole is tackled after scrambling during the game against Purdue on Saturday. O’Toole, who will start in Saturday’s game against Wisconsin, has been the backup quarterback for Nathan Scheelhaase and now Wes Lunt.

O’Toole takes center stage

Backup QB in spotlight after starter Lunt breaks leg, out 4-6 weeks BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

Reilly O’Toole didn’t try to beat around the bush when asked what requires improvement. Instead, the backup quarterback, who will likely start in place of the injured Wes Lunt on Saturday against Wisconsin, cut right to the chase. There were no cliches — instead, a simple response. “It’s pretty obvious what I need to work on, which is to take care of the ball,� O’Toole said. “That’s kind of been my thing all through

college. I really need to concentrate on that now. I’m not just going in later in the game trying to make something happen. Now I’m playing the full game. I’ve just got to prepare and take advantages of all the opportunities.� O’Toole has been in the backup role most of his time here, whether it was with former quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase or now Lunt. He’s viewed the game from the backup role, but now he has another chance to demonstrate his senior leadership and improvement.

While he started in place of an injured Lunt at Nebraska, this week has been different in that news of Lunt’s injury was announced a week in advance — instead of prior to gametime, as in the Nebraska situation. O’Toole finished that game 17-for-38 passing for 261 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. “I think he overcompensated for some things and tried to overdo (some things) instead of just doing what we need to do,� head coach Tim Beckman said. “I don’t think that’s just on Reilly,

but I think the entire football team is trying so hard that the mistake comes from being over-aggressive.� This time, he’s going into the game with more practice reps and a better sense of what to expect. “I think Nebraska will help me out a lot and playing in that environment,� O’Toole said. “You can’t help but feel a little more comfortable after a game like that, but that was a great atmosphere. And this is going to be another great

The Buckeyes were led by sophomore middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe, who had an effi cient 14 kills while hitting .524 on the night.

Birks put down a kill to give the Illini set point but the Buckeyes fought off two more points to bring the score even. The teams exchanged points before a Sandbothe serving error and a Birks kill gave Illinois the 29-27 victory. In the end, the Illini

couldn’t close out the fi fth set and a toxic combination of not bringing energy or execution throughout the match allowed the Buckeyes to earn their secondstraight comeback victory. The loss was Illinois’ second in a row following a seven-game winning streak. “(Energy) wasn’t there, execution wasn’t there, the fight wasn’t there,� Hambly said. “I thought we competed hard at times, but for big chunks of time it wasn’t there.�

Tired of losing? Pick a 2nd team to root for ERIK PRADO Sports columnist

A

re you a fan of the Illini or any other cellar-dwelling team? Tired of seeing a team lose in hilarious new ways every weekend? Are you miserable because repping your school colors invites ridicule from your friends from Florida State or Oregon? Do you want to enjoy watching football Saturdays instead of dreading turning on that TV? Then I suggest adopting an SEC West team. Stop watching losing football

and put those wasted hours toward watching good football. By adopting a team from the best conference in the sport, your Saturdays will be filled with football. Good football. Don’t believe me? Glance over this week’s Associated Press top 25 poll and notice that five of the seven SEC West teams are in the top 25, with four in the top 10. These rankings are on the heel of one of the most exciting and upset-heavy weekends in the sport’s history. Ole Miss upset Alabama. Mississippi State welcomed Texas A&M and Kenny Hill to Starkville, Miss., and soundly defeated them. Auburn beat LSU

so badly LSU went from being ranked 15th to being unranked. I make this plea to you because it was a few years ago that I hopped on the SEC bandwagon, specifically for Alabama in 2008, once I was frustrated watching Illinois lose to the likes of Minnesota. The difference in football could not have been more startling between the two. Alabama had a suffocating defense and a strong running back tandem of Glen Coffee and Mark Ingram. My interest skyrocketed when the Crimson Tide, ranked No. 1, faced off against No. 2 Florida in the SEC title game. Alabama would lose, but moving forward, it would

be my second team to root for. Then came the championships in 2009, 2011 and 2012. So yeah, I made the right choice. Is this the classic definition of hopping on a bandwagon? Perhaps. But there is no rule clearly stating fandom must be contained to one team. There’s no fun in that because of the sheer number of college teams. There are bound to be some bandwagon fans. There’s also no rule saying if you do adopt another team, that team must be from the SEC West. I just highly recommend doing so because of how good the conference is. Consider for a moment that for

Illini, Badgers face uncertainty at QB BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

A fi rst Big Ten victory of the season is on the line this Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin. Both Illinois and Wisconsin have failed to win a conference game this year and both are looking to redeem themselves after last week. Illinois (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) looks to forget a disappointing home loss to Purdue and move forward with a win against Wisconsin (3-2, 0-1). The Badgers dropped a 20-14 game at Northwestern and dropped out of the top 25 for the first time this season. “I haven’t talked one thing about effort because our players play hard. They really do play hard, now we have got to play smarter,” Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said. “We’re excited about being able to play

Wisconsin. We’re 3-3 at the midway point, we have six opportunities left and we’re taking Wisconsin first.” Saturday will be a test of endurance and willpower as the Illini cope with losing their Big Ten-leading quarterback Wes Lunt to a fractured fibula. Lunt, is expected to be out four to six weeks for his injury. The Illini hope senior Reilly O’Toole or even sophomore Aaron Bailey can fill the gap against the Badgers. While Illinois adjusts its starting quarterback, Wisconsin will be trying to answer its own quarterback question. The Badgers listed both juniors Tanner McEvoy and Joel Stave as starting quarterbacks on their depth chart for Illinois. Both played in the team’s loss to Northwestern last weekend.

AARON BAILEY AND REILLY O’TOOLE

It’s no secret the pressure is on Illinois and its quarterbacks. Starting play-caller Wes Lunt’s four-to-six week injury capped off a dismal month for the Illini in which they lost three of their last four games. Now the team will look to its back-ups to step up and lead the Illini to an underdog victory over Wisconsin, who will look to run over the Illinois defense. Of note: O’Toole and Bailey have just 333 plays of experience between them in a combined six seasons with the Illini. Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said the concern is the quarterbacks’ inexperience will lead to turnovers for Illinois.

Wisconsin’s rushing offense is the best in the Big Ten, earning 331.4 yards per game. Led by senior Melvin Gordon III, the conference’s leading rusher with nine touchdowns on 871 yards in five games this season, the Badgers will look to exploit Illinois’ poor rushing defense. The Illini rank last in the Big Ten, allowing 14 touchdowns on an average of 249.5 yards per game. Of note: Despite ranking worst in the Big Ten in rushing defense, the Illini are the best in the conference in tackles for loss, recording 7.2 per game. When it comes to stopping the rushing game, Illinois’ hopes may fall on coming up with big plays.

WISCONSIN OFFENSE

Most experts are passing this week off as a loss for the Illini, with Wisconsin as much as a 25-point favorite. Illinois’ defense probably can’t stop the Badgers, and in order for the Illini to put up any points on Saturday, Josh Ferguson and Donovonn Young need to be at their best. With Wes Lunt out, Ferguson becomes the most important member of the offense, and if the Illini are close at all Saturday, he’ll be a big reason why.

Loss to Wisconsin would come as no surprise Illini won’t be able to keep up with Badgers rushing game, especially without Wes Lunt at QB SEAN HAMMOND Sports editor

L

et’s get this straight now: Illinois is not going to beat Wisconsin. Tim Beckman can talk all he wants about winning out and reaching nine wins, but the Illini don’t stand a chance against the Badgers. Beckman’s been using a lot of “ifs” lately, and they’ve become more and more ridiculous. “If we run the table, we end up with nine wins,” he said earlier this week. We can do the math ourselves, Coach. But there’s no way that’s really going to happen. The optimism is good. But the reality is the Illini just lost to Purdue and quarterback Wes Lunt isn’t going to play for at least four weeks. The Illini will be lucky to pick up two or three wins from here on out. Here’s another Beckman quote from Monday about the Purdue game, “If we take out 10 plays in that

football game, it’s a different game.” Take out 10 plays! If you take out 10 plays from any football game, it’d be a different game. Once again, optimism is good, but let’s be realistic here. The reality is Reilly O’Toole will probably start the game in Madison, Wisconsin, this weekend and the result is likely going to be something similar to the 45-14 lashing Nebraska gave Illinois last time

“The Illini will be lucky to pick up two or three wins from here on out.” O’Toole started a game. The Badgers have the fourth-best rushing attack in the country. Illinois can’t stop anything resembling a running game. Wisconsin need not even throw a pass Saturday. Even in a loss to Northwestern last week, the Badgers rushed for 284 yards.

That’s really all the stats any fan needs to see. If you can run well, you will score against the Illini. A Wes Lunt-led offense might be able to keep pace with opponents on the scoreboard, but Lunt isn’t suiting up again for more than a month. This is going to be another chance for O’Toole. It would be surprising to see Aaron Bailey on the field this weekend. He’ll likely play in the coming weeks while Lunt is injured, but don’t expect him to play this week. It’s surprising how much talk there is around a quarterback who has hardly thrown the ball in his college career. Bailey played in nine games a year ago, but he JULIAN H.

FOOTBALL atmosphere against a great defense.” He’s been to that place before when it was Scheelhaase who led the Illini at Camp Randall Stadium in 2012. In a move that garnered internet buzz, Scheelhaase attempted to high-five one of the referees in the end zone after a touchdown, but was denied. O’Toole remembers the moment, but said he won’t try anything similar. “I don’t know,” O’Toole said. “I’m not one to find the end zone too often so I don’t know if that’s even going to be a possibility.” It’s an honest answer that echoes his goal of getting a team win, rather than improving his own statistics. For coaches, O’Toole represents a quarterback option who has experience and leadership capabilities. He’s a quarterback who has been through the changes the program has seen even if he hasn’t started. More importantly, he’s used that position to help coach from the sidelines when he hasn’t started. Cubit has said O’Toole has given advice to wide receivers and Lunt. “We’ve only got one set of eyes,” Cubit said. “And there are so many things you can see out there, you need help. There’s nothing better than an experienced quarterback who can do it for you.” For O’Toole, the chance to start this week is one with a bittersweet note. It means replacing Lunt, who he calls a great friend and his occasional roommate. The pair roomed together during Camp Rantoul and then again during some away games. But as a senior, it’s a chance to soak up his last weeks in the orange and blue. “It’s really scary to think about how the time has flown,” O’Toole said. “I feel like the other day I was just playing my last high school game in this stadium.” O’Toole, a Wheaton Warrenville South graduate, was on three teams that reached the Class 7A championship games at Memorial Stadium. So his attitude makes sense as he tries to carry the Illini this week. Josh Ferguson, who redshirted one year but came in the same time as O’Toole, has seen the quarterback develop. “He’s grown so much over these four years and hopefully that will be displayed on the field,” Ferguson said.

BY SAM SHERMAN STAFF WRITER

At this point in the season, it’s apparent the Illini won’t be doing much damage against teams with good rushing attacks. Even against average to belowaverage rushing attacks, the Illini have struggled. This weekend, Illinois travels to Madison, Wis., to take on the Badgers, and Wisconsin runs the ball effectively.

ILLINI DEFENSE VS. MELVIN GORDON In 1996, Wisconsin running back Ron Dayne broke the record for most rushing yards in a game for the Badgers with 339. Sorry Ron, but your record might be in jeopardy. Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon is a Heisman Trophy candidate this year. He has rushed for 871 yards and scored nine touchdowns.

REILLY O’TOOLE VS. AARON BAILEY It is still unknown who will be starting at quarterback for the Illini on Saturday. After Wes Lunt went down with an injury, the team has quarterback competition between senior Reilly O’Toole and sophomore Aaron Bailey. Early in the season, it was thought that Bailey might redshirt, but that might no longer be the case after the Lunt’s injury. By all accounts, Bailey is talented, but questions have come up about how well he can lead Bill Cubit’s offense.

TIM BECKMAN VS. THE WORLD Ok, so not the world, but there are few people who think the Illinois head coach should still be coaching this team. In his press conference earlier this week, Beckman showed us he knows how to count, stating that if the Illini win the rest of their games, they would have nine wins. That is true, but ridiculously unlikely.

Soccer looks to rebound against Gophers

BY ELISEO ELIZARRARAZ STAFF WRITER

The Illinois soccer team is looking to bounce back from its 2-0 loss at Northwestern as they prepare to take on Minnesota (6-6-1) at home Sunday. The Illini (9-4-0) will relish the opportunity to play at home again after being on the road for the last three games. Illinois lost two of those three matches. The team will play four of its last six matches at home, including the one against the Gophers on Sunday, giving the Illini a chance to play on a grass field after playing on Northwestern’s turf field last weekend. “Every game you play, the opponents, the surface, the weather all poses different problems and you can’t call timeout, so players have to solve the problems on the field,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “That’s

one of the fun things about coaching this sport, but it also means that the season is the most educational tool you can have because every game poses a different problem. By the end of it, you hope you’re better problem-solvers.” Illinois will continue to be without freshman striker Kara Marbury as she continues to recover from a foot injury. Rayfield is confident Marbury will return soon, but is not trying to hurry the striker along. “She is coming along, we’ve got her out of the boot, we’ve got her jogging, we’ve got her moving, so hopefully in the next week or so we get her striking balls and doing all that stuff. It’s a progression to see where the bone and where the foot is and how much she can tolerate and we certainly want to take that in small steps; we cer-

tainly don’t wanna go from zero to 60,” Rayfield said. Both Illinois and Minnesota are in the middle of the Big Ten pack after Illinois’ two-game skid and both will play hard right out of the gate as they make a push for the postseason. “I think we’ve put ourselves in position now. If we do the things well that we do well we can put ourselves in position. It’ll be nice getting back at home and nice getting into a routine that we understand and know and I think playing in front of our home fans, it’s certainly a place where we’re going to look to take advantage of our home field advantage and the surface that we’re used to,” Rayfield said. The Gophers bring a team that will most likely feature three strikers up top, something they have done throughout the season, and

Illinois’ Kara Marbury slides in an attempt to retain possession during the game against Arizona State at the Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium on Aug. 29. The Illini won 3-1. something Rayfield expects will pose a challenge. “It’s an athletic team; it’s a team that’s going to come

and put us under pressure” she said. “They’ll come at us a little bit so we certainly have to be ready for that.”

Though Thomas had rave reviews about his time on the Illini campus, it was an unexpected development on one visit that stood out to him most during his four-school tour. Les Miles, the LSU football coach, made an impression on Thomas during his visit to Baton Rouge, offering him a spot on his football team as a goal-line tight end. Illinois didn’t offer Thomas a football scholarship, but his Illinois visit made enough of an impression for Thomas to declare the Illini the leader in his recruitment soon after he left Champaign. It’s been more than two weeks since he left the Illinois campus, and in that time his friend Jawun Evans committed to Oklahoma State, who is also recruiting Thomas. But he didn’t waver when asked if the Illini were still the frontrunner. “Yes, I can say they’re still the leader right now,” Thomas said. While the allure of a package deal to Oklahoma State with Evans looms large, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Thomas is close with Illini players as well. He isn’t worried about fitting in, on or off the court. “I think I would fit in well,” Thomas said. “I know all the players, so there’s nothing to really worry about. The fan support is really awesome. It’s a really cool college town; it’s a basketball school, so I like that as well.” There’s no question Thomas, with his ability and 6-foot-9 frame, would receive a hero’s welcome at Illinois if he commits, but Thomas believes his intangibles would be valuable to the Illini on the court as well. “I bring a competitive edge, a heart and

the duration of the BCS National Championship, SEC West teams appeared in seven of the 16 games, including two teams in 2011 (Alabama and LSU). From 2003 to 2013, SEC West teams won six of the 11 BCS titles. The College Football Playoff can allow unheralded teams to sneak in and wreck havoc, maybe even defeating an SEC West team. Major upsets and other exciting games have already been played, so upsets should be expected come late December. It’s now or never to claim a new team. Don’t forget to look to other conferences for a team to follow: Are you someone who likes chaos? Offense with little defense? Look to the west, to the Pac-12. Do you respect powerful traditions? Maybe Texas or Oklahoma is a good fit. Are you someone who knows he doesn’t always put forth his best, but does just enough to get by? Then a Big Ten team is perfect for you. Whatever you decide, it’s time you enjoy watching good football on Saturdays.

Illinois head coach John Groce already has three recruits in the 2015 class, but Texas big man Elijah Thomas is the coach’s next target. Thomas will make a college decision on Oct. 21. desire to always win,” Thomas said. “I think that, along with everything else, as far as skill and my ability, (and) getting everybody involved and being a leader, I think that’s something that (would be vital to) the team.” So now, there will be an agonizing twoweek wait before Thomas delivers the final verdict. Illini fans hope he’ll be the one to break the streak of unfortunate publicized announcements by Illinois recruits in recent history, in which the Illini always seem to fall short. Besides the all-important college deci-

sion, Thomas has one more matter to resolve before Oct. 21: How he’ll announce his choice to the camera. “That’s what I’m trying to figure out right now,” Thomas joked. “My head’s kind of shaped awkwardly; I don’t know if a hat will fit my head on TV properly.” You can be sure Thomas, always the showman, will think of something.

Illini hockey uses week off to get healthy BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER

During the grind of the season, an off-weekend is hard to come by for the Illinois hockey team. The Illini (6-1-0-0) are in the middle of a two-week break from competition, and head coach Nick Fabbrini hopes it will give his players a chance to get healthy again. The team is fighting the injury bug, with five players out for various ailments. “We have a lot of guys that are hurt with big injuries and small injuries,� Fabbrini said. “We are really trying to get healthy this week and still keep our game legs underneath us.� Illinois’ six-game winning streak was snapped Saturday by Colorado State, which the Illini defeated 7-0 the night before. The loss exposed an issue that junior John Olen said the team has struggled with in the past: staying focused for the weekend’s second game. “It’s all about focus from one game to the next,� Olen said. “We had trouble with that my freshman year, winning Friday and then losing Saturday. I think we just need more game time preparation. We need to put in a consistent 60 minute effort both nights.� Olen, a center, believes if the team can maintain its focus, it has the potential to be great on the offensive side of the puck. The team demonstrated its ability on Saturday by scoring seven goals, three of which were assisted by Olen.

Aside from the issue of focus, Fabbrini did see results from practice shine through on the ice. The team displayed a greater sense of discipline over the past weekend with less costly penalties, which have been an issue for the Illini this season. Fabbrini also saw his players improve on the forecheck, which gives the Illini more opportunities to control the puck in the offensive zone. Coupling that with the team’s speed creates more goal-scoring opportunities. “If we can put the pucks in good areas, we are a tough team to contain out of the offensive zones because of the speed this team has,� Fabbrini said. “I think that we did a good job of pressuring their defense and forcing turnovers.� The members of the team who are not recovering from injuries will be going through a series of hightempo practices this week, before actual game-planning for the home game against Michigan-Dearborn on Friday, Oct. 17. The team will go another month before it gets another two-week break, so Fabbrini intends to take full advantage of the rest time the team has now. “I don’t think there is anything new we want to install this week,� Fabbrini said. “Right now, we are just focusing on getting healthy and making sure we are ready to go against Michigan-Dearborn.�
