Pedestrian killed on Lincoln Avenue Driver in custody following crash DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup confi rmed that one victim is dead after being hit by a pickup truck on Lincoln Avenue on Wednesday morning. The victim was transported to Carle Foundation Hospital and was declared dead after failed attempts to revive her, according to a press release from the Urbana Police Department. Her identity has not yet been released. A second victim, University student Spandana Mantravadi , was also hit by the truck and transported to Carle. She is not believed to have life-threatening injuries, according to the press release. The two victims were struck by the truck on Lincoln Avenue near Nevada Street, according to Urbana Police detective Matt Rivers. The truck was driven by Willie Craft, Sr., 58, of Urbana. Craft was traveling south on Lincoln Avenue around 10 a.m. and drove across a sidewalk several times, while also hitting street signs and an occupied vehicle in traffic. He was also transported to Carle for treatment and consented to blood and urine samples. Craft was cited for improper lane usage and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. The two victims were walking near the McKinley Health Center, said witness Jeremy Thurman, a construction worker working outside McKinley. He said one victim was swept under the truck and the other was thrown over it. Hanna Hawkins, sophomore in Applied Health Sciences, said she was nearly hit by the truck

Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house near the accident when it occurred. Coello said she went outside to the scene and saw one of the victims receiving CPR from paramedics on the sidewalk before being taken away by an ambulance.

Research Park helps startup companies UI research EnterpriseWorks 10th anniversary celebrates with startup success stories engineer to run for US House BY JACQUI OGRODNIK STAFF WRITER

As EnterpriseWorks approaches its 10th anniversary Friday, Research Park celebrates with graduate companies, current startups and future entrepreneurs. EnterpriseWorks is a technology venture incubator. Its construction was funded by the state of Illinois in 2003 as part of an overall technology and economic development initiative the state was leading, said Scott Pickard, former director of Research Park. “Its mission is to help start up

Eric Thorsland hopes to prevail over Rep. John Shimkus BY ELEANOR BLACK STAFF WRITER

University physics research engineer Eric Thorsland doesn’t look like your average politician, and he’ll be one of the fi rst to admit it. But for the sake of his campaign for the Illinois 15th Congressional District, he’s willing to make some changes. “I will admit, for The DI, that my haircut is very new. There are certain things that seem to be characteristic of someone in politics and unfortunately, you need to fit that mold,” he said. “People expect when you walk in the room, that you have a shirt, and a tie, and a suit and are relatively clean-shaven. So to not disappoint, I’m willing to go along with that norm. And then we’ll see what happens after the election is over.” His hair and goatee are welltrimmed and he’s casually dressed in a button-up, a black hoodie and a baseball cap. On his right arm there’s a tattoo that wraps around his wrist with three suns. “That’s my three children — two boys and my girl. My wife has moons on her wrist, on this side we hold hands. So we have the sun and the moon when we’re together.” D e s pite his casual demeanor, Thorsland is serious about politics. He considers himself a lifelong democrat, reinforced by an event in his childhood. His father, an air traffi c controller, went on strike because he wanted one day off per week. For this, he and others were fi red by President Reagan. Thorsland said his father did not get his job until 17 years later, under the

Clinton administration. “That only solidifi ed my belief that democrats think more about people than the other party does,” he said. “(The Republican Party) is more interested in power and prosperity — I’m not against prosperity, but not at the expense of the people.” He then watched in 2012 as Angela Michael, an anti-choice candidate, ran unopposed in the democratic primary. “When that happens, she’s allowed access to the airwaves. They use that access to air ads ... that were very graphic, anti-choice ads. She’s not a democrat, she’s never voted as a democrat,” he said. “So I felt as a good, lifelong democrat, that it was probably best to put a real democrat on the ballot in the primary.” The issues that Thorsland cares about are issues that he believes matter to a rural district like the 15th; issues he says current Rep. John Shimkus (R-15) neglects. As a farm owner himself — he and his wife own a 38-acre organic farm that produces food for

James Gary Eden, professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Sung-Jin Park, professor of micro and nanotechnology, dedicated their company to commercializing a new form of lighting that is thin and flat, based on microplasma technology developed at the University. Founded in 2007, Eden Park Illumination followed a “pathway similar to a number of other companies that are formed here in the Champaign-Urbana area,” Eden said. After graduating more than a year later, the company moved to its current, larger facility in northern Champaign, 903 N. Country Fair Drive, where it has 23 employees and a full assembly line for the lamps it produces — something it couldn’t accommodate at its EnterpriseWorks facility.

and support technology-based companies and have them graduate and become viable, sustainable companies that are actually selling a product in the marketplace and making an impact,” Pickard said. “And in the process, those companies create high quality and technical management jobs.” EnterpriseWorks’ 141 startup incubator graduate companies provide services ranging from biotechnology to engineering to consultation. Currently, 38 companies operate within EnterpriseWorks.

Of all the services EnterpriseWorks offered, Eden said the proximity to the campus and to other companies was an advantage that could not have been overlooked. “There is a simple proximity to other companies who are attempting to do professionally the same things we are,” Eden said. “But a number of them are more advanced, so we can benefit from their experiences.” An example of this “experience sharing” is EnterpriseWorks’ series of lectures where individuals are invited to speak to the companies regarding topics such as financing or serial entrepreneurship. Eden Park Illumination lamps have been exhibited at the National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas for the past two years.

One E nte r pr i s eWo rk s resource Serionix takes advantage of is Research Park’s Entrepreneur-in-Residence program, which employs local experienced technology entrepreneurs to provide monthly consultation to startup companies and prospective technology founders. “We were able to meet with

The company, originally named SmartSpark Energy Systems, began as a startup in the EnterpriseWorks incubator in 2004, before graduating from the incubator and moving to another space in the Research Park.

After that the shot is active for an entire year. According to the CDC, the flu season peaks in February but picks up strength in December. “With my luck, I would get sick around midterms week, so that would have been pretty bad,” Patel said. Burkhalter said that turnout for flu shots this year has been fair so far, and interest can vary based on weather. “It’s been warm, sunny weather, so that’s always hard to draw students in because of course, if it’s sunny they’d rather be outside doing something more pleasant,” Burkhalter said. “But we find when the weather gets a little nippy, the leaves are falling, it’s raining and it’s a little bit miserable outside, the population in general gets a little more aware that, ‘Hmm, it might be the flu season.’”

there’s no reason if it’s so easy like this,” Plinke said. By going around campus, the clinic hopes to make the shot as accessible to students as possible, and also raise awareness that the shot is available, Burkhalter said. By increasing the awareness of the clinic, Burkhalter said the clinic hopes to give out at least 11,500 shots this year. Viral Patel, a sophomore in DGS, said that he “probably would not” have gotten his flu shot if he could not have gotten it at Grainger. “I just came by and saw that they were having flu shots today so I decided just to go for it,” Patel said. Getting the flu shot protects students not only from the unpleasantness of getting sick, but also missing classes, Burkhalter said. “I can’t imagine missing an entire week or just having to make up all the work ... or (being) in class not being able to focus because you have the flu,” said Meghan Orr, a sophomore in LAS. Orr, who did not regularly get her flu shot before coming to college, sees getting vaccinated as common sense. “It took 10 minutes of my time and I had a sore arm for a day,”

In the Grainger Engineering Library, a line of tables was filled with students signing forms, i-cards in hand, waiting to be vaccinated for the flu. As part of the McKinley Health Center’s mobile flu clinic, this event, along with others around campus this fall, was set up with the intention of getting the vaccination out to as many students as possible, said Vicki Burkhalter, the center’s immunization coordinator. “They know if the flu season is a rough season it’s going to take a toll in the campus community,” Burkhalter said. Flu shots are available for free to any student, staff member or retiree with an I.D. Additionally, students must have paid the student health fee and staff members must show an insurance card from a state-sponsored health plan. To maximize impact, the clinic tries to go to heavily populated areas on every side of campus. “The philosophy is that we want to get that flu shot out there,” Burkhalter said. “We hit every geographic region.” Since the flu is contagious, students in crowded areas like residence halls, lecture halls or

campus recreation facilities are susceptible to the flu. The mobile clinic aims at going to those areas, Burkhalter said. Adding to the risk, the age range of people on college campuses are among the least likely to be vaccinated. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 28.6 percent of people aged 18 to 49 received flu shots during the 2011 to 2012 flu season, which is the lowest vaccination percentage of any age demographic included in the study. Last year Burkhalter approximated that the center gave out about 11,000 flu shots total, the majority going to students. There are various reasons why students might choose not to get the flu shot, Burkhalter said, ranging from fear of needles to procrastination. Convenience could also be a factor, as many student do not want to go out of their way to get the shot. Elaina Plinke, a sophomore in Business, was not planning on getting her flu shot, but received one at Tuesday’s vaccination event at Grainger because she was already there. “I think usually (students are not vaccinated) because it’s inconvenient, but I feel like

PRIDE to hold rally on National Coming Out Day LGBT organizations hold events encouraging support, alliance for all BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

Adam Cullian has a clear memory of his 13th birthday. He was sitting in his 7th grade classroom, watching the morning announcements. When the birthdays of the day were called out, his name came through the speakers. “Who the hell is Adam Cullian?” one classmate asked. Adam, a little offended, responded, “Oh, that’s me, right across the room from you.” “Oh, no one cares about that kid. He’s a queer,” the classmate said for the entire class to hear. The teacher did not acknowledge the kid’s statement, but it hit home with Adam. “I went home completely emotional,” Adam said. “That may have been the first inkling or, at least a second, to make me think about my sexuality because I come home, and I’m like freaking out. This kid just called me a queer in front of the whole class. Like, am I gay? I don’t know.” By the end of middle school, Adam knew the answer to his question, but he wouldn’t tell anyone the answer for another five years. *** Adam sat in his dorm room bawling. He had told a few friends that he was gay, but he decided that he had waited long enough to tell his family. It was

time to call his mom. Adam’s mother was driving in her car with her mother when she answered. She couldn’t understand a word her son was saying between sobs. “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did you get kicked out of school?” she asked. “Mom, I’m gay,” Adam said. “Oh, that’s it? Can I call you back in five minutes?” she said. “I’m in the car with your grandma right now. We are both freaking out because we thought you got kicked out of school.” After five years of living a lie, Adam felt like a weight was lifted off him — even if he had to wait five more minutes to talk about it. *** Friday is National Coming Out Day. LGBT organizations across the United States will hold events encouraging people to show their true self, as well as support for the LGBT community. On campus, PRIDE, a registered student organization, will hold a rally on the Quad at noon and a hold a panel on coming out at La Casa Cultural Latina at 7 pm. The Ikenberry Rainbow Connection, a gay student alliance that Adam is a member of, will encourage heterosexuals to “come out” as allies of the gay community. In addition to encouraging people to come out, the events

also promote raising awareness of the issues facing the LGBT community. Adam said ignorance and hatred are the main issues he has encountered. “People aren’t willing to accept that gay people are born gay,” he said. “Why would you choose to put yourself in a world where you’ll get hate from people? Why would you choose to be gay if you knew that there are people who literally will hate you?” One thing that has helped Adam has been the emergence of homosexuality in pop culture. Adam said “Glee” has helped his father, whom he described as a conservative Catholic, become more accepting of the homosexual community. Adam came out to his family within a few days of Santana Lopez coming out on “Glee,” a connection which Adam’s dad immediately noticed. “I’m like, ‘Of course, he would make that connection,’” Adam said. “Honestly, subconsciously, it might have been. Santana Lopez is one of my favorite characters, so that probably subconsciously gave me the little push to come out.” Adam said his entire family has been accepting of his sexual orientation, though he knows that’s not the case everywhere. While Friday is a national coming out holiday, Adam said it’s

important for people to come out when they’re ready. “You don’t want to put yourself in a bad position to be on the receiving end of abuse or any kind of hurt that may come to you,” he said. “If you don’t feel comfortable coming out to someone because you fear it might turn bad, then it’s probably not the greatest time to come out.” *** Adam said National Coming Out Day can help society, not just the individual coming out. Although he described himself as the “gayest little kid” growing up, playing with Barbies and favoring the Pink Power Ranger, Adam knows that not all little boys who like Barbie or the color pink are gay. “If people come out on National Coming Out Day (who) don’t fit that cookie-cutter stereotype, that helps in educating people to break that stereotype that every gay person is covered in pink, wearing a feather boa all the time, (and) prancing around with a high-pitched voice,” he said. “If they see people coming out, who are in the sciences or macho, muscular, masculine men, I think that can break down walls as well.”

State lawmakers take first step in solving student debt crisis

F

or many students today, deciding to come to this University either means you have enough money to pay for college, or it means graduating with a heavy amount of debt. Despite a college degree becoming an increasingly common requirement for many jobs, the ability to pay for college has become more of a burden. It seems unreasonable that this generation of college students is expected to obtain a degree before moving onto their futures, but are essentially set behind once they graduate. Last Wednesday, Sen. Mike Frerichs, D-52, held a college affordability hearing on campus and was part of a panel which included other local lawmakers such as Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, Rep. Chad Hays, R-Danville, and Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet. Students who attended the hearing had a chance to speak in front of lawmakers about their experiences with student debt. One student, Rachel Heller, junior in LAS and student senator, spoke out about some students still can’t afford to attend a university in Illinois even when working full time. She is personally affected by the current financial aid process which offered her an estimated parental contribution, how much parents are expected to contribute financially toward their child’s college education, which her mother could not pay. Those at the hearing also heard about community college and how it’s gaining momentum as an alternative for many prospective students, especially those who want to save money rather than spend thousands more at a university. Nearly 65 percent of Illinois students attend community colleges. Some students may want to attend community college for the convenience of being near home and some due to monetary reasons. It’s also a great way to transition into a four-year college or university. With so many students in similar situations to Heller, it was about time Illinois lawmakers did something to address the issue. Sure, student debt is labeled as a nationwide problem, and we constantly hear from politicians about how college needs to become more affordable. However, there hasn’t been any visible change, with student debt reaching about $1 trillion. Kudos to our local lawmakers for attempting to break this trend and show that they care about the students in the communities they are serving. As student debt will only grow, this hearing will hopefully be the first step in pushing lawmakers to solve the debt crisis that has made college more of a privilege or financial burden than a stepping stone to the future. It’s time to reevaluate lending policies that weigh down students after graduation and to provide more aid to students who are simply unable to afford to attend four-year state universities.

Getting in tune with the soundtrack of your life: a headphone optional affair ANDREW HORTON Opinions columnist

I

t’s really too bad that the world doesn’t come with a soundtrack like in the movies. Life would be so much more exciting if the music from “Jaws� started to play every time you were scared, if every time you fell in love you had some cheerful orchestra music in the background, or if every time you were angry you had some thrasher metal to throttle your rage. Trying to find the soundtrack to our lives is part of why the use of headphones is so widespread. When we’re working out we have music to inspire us to get that extra rep or run that extra mile. We can turn a mundane walk home into an experience that captures our emotional state or transforms us to another one. Yes, portable music is tremendously powerful, and new ear buds that are sleeker and noise canceling have made the experience even better. That being said, we can sometimes become so lost in the euphoria of our personal soundtracks that we forget about the natural soundtrack of the world. I use my headphones extensively — usually when walking to class and always when working out. I’m convinced that I wouldn’t

run a quarter as much as I do if I didn’t have my music to motivate me. That being said, my iPod once ran out of battery and I was forced to continue my run without musical aid (I know, first world problems). But, I found it to be a striking experience. For the first time in a while, I actually heard my own breathing and the sound of my feet tapping the pavement. I realized that I had forgotten what running sounded like without music. A short while later, when I was walking to class early one morning listening to my jams, I thought about my experience running and decided that I needed a brief reminder of what walking to class sounded like: I heard the rustling of leaves in the wind, the sound of delivery vehicles backing up, and the repetitive rhythm of tired feet heading toward a dreaded 8 a.m. lab section. Then I reached Green Street and heard the voice of a man asking me for spare change (I normally just use my headphones as an excuse to walk by these people). I continued on and heard a funny conversation between two people. I don’t remember at all what it was about, but I thought to myself, “So this is what I’m missing every time I put my headphones in?� I looked around at all the people on campus who were the same as me, using music as a way to escape the boring nature of trav-

eling from point A to point B. I thought about all the things that are missed because of the artificial soundtrack that people prefer to reality. It is really hard to say that this is a bad thing, though. On the one hand, music distracts you from your surroundings, preventing you from hearing interesting comments or people calling your name. On the other hand, reality is unavoidably dull at times and music is a great way to insert entertainment and inspiration into everyday life. Perhaps there is a more elegant solution. Everyone has a time when they need to move to their own beat for a while to get their head straight. There are also times when one needs a simple dose of reality — overhearing a random conversation or seeing an obnoxious bike rider slam into a parked car (I saw that one just the other day). The important thing is not to fall into a habit of just one behavior. It is the constant struggle of battling between reality and the fantastic thoughts in our head that characterize us as humans. Embracing this struggle can allow us to more closely emulate that coveted soundtrack that is missing from our lives.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Graduate students just as committed without attending sporting events Editor’s note: This letter is a response to a previous article “An open letter to graduate students about school spirit� published in the Oct. 8, 2013, edition of The Daily Illini. Even though it’s the middle of the semester and I have a number of things I could be doing, I thought that your open letter deserves a response. Graduate students do have it rough. We are almost always overworked, constantly under a deadline, teaching classes and grading papers, completing graduate coursework, writing academic papers and are generally in a state of constant stress. To top it off, we don’t make very much money. But, on top of all this, we need to be attending sporting events? You say you want to “remind you of one more thing you should be doing,� by which you mean attending Illini sports games. Your words carry a sense of urgency as though the sports you mention (football, swimming, tennis, etc.) are under assault and in need of our defense. Yet basic facts dispel this anxiety: Illinois men’s sports coaches are among the highest paid individuals at our University, we grant numerous athletic scholarships each year and our sporting events are well attended. I cannot really see the need for such exigency, but clearly you consider this an important matter. In your litany of possible excuses for why graduate students don’t attend sporting events, you variously cite laziness, a lack of loyalty, disinterest and age as possi-

bilities. Allow me to suggest a few other reasons. Graduate students also have commitments — commitments related to the University and beyond. We commit ourselves to service in the Champaign-Urbana community, volunteering at animal and homeless shelters and teaching inmates at local jails and prisons. We commit ourselves to strong labor organizing, attempting to alter the trend of adjunction that threatens the livelihood of college instructors nationwide and the competent educations of their students. We commit ourselves to politics, not only in the conventional sense, but also to investigating and voicing the concerns of underrepresented populations in our communities. We commit ourselves to the arts, to attending plays, readings, musical performances, art galleries and the art theatre, all events that solicit few attendees, especially undergraduates. In light of these more consistent graduate student occupations, you must forgive us if we don’t “pick up the slack� for those games undergraduates fail to attend. But, in my opinion, the most important thing graduate students do is question the world around them. We question why the football coaches make millions of dollars when instructors nationwide go hungry from underemployment. We question why people are expected to watch sports and not attend poetry readings. We question why so many Illini sports fans cannot divest

themselves from the stained history of the school mascot. We question why little effort is spent rehabilitating and educating local inmates. Yes, we live beyond the four walls of our rooms, and also beyond the walls of this University. These are our passions: We live through them and they live through us. We lose sleep over income disparities, incarcerated minorities and cultural misogyny — not the spread. Are you really asking graduate students to sacrifice these commitments to attend more sporting events? Perhaps you feel strongly about this subject because (as your Twitter feed says) you research the history of athletics and work as a sports correspondent. Perhaps you love athletics beyond all else. I’m not sure. But perhaps more deeply we have different definitions. Perhaps the idea of “spirit� means something different to you than to me, that one way to exhibit spirit is to attend a football game, and other ways include participating in local democracy, striving for income equality and serving fellow human beings. I’ve been to football games, swim meets and tennis matches. I will certainly attend more, and I do not fear for their survival. But right now I think other areas need more attention. Maybe you should take a Saturday off and join us.

JUSTIN HANSON, graduate student in English

verybody has a secret — even the supposedly studious, intelligent and focused students here at the University. But you would never know about the chaos under the collectedness if it weren’t for University of Illinois Confessions. This Facebook page brings to the forefront some information about people on campus that we all probably could have benefitted from never knowing at all. And nearly everyone’s confessions can be categorized into seven main themes: 1. The “Sweet revenge on my roommate� post. OK, so we can all relate to having roommate problems that leave some of us feeling vengeful. The issues range from having daily passiveaggressive encounters to needing to buy several bottles of Febreze to make up for your roommates’ severe lack of general hygiene. Stealing from their food stash and “borrowing� their clothes for an extended period of time is one thing, but defacing their stuff with urine and using their toothbrushes for purposes other than cleaning teeth? Yikes. 2. The “Let me displace all of my frustration� post. Some days are rougher than others. And it appears that some people like to use a public Facebook page as their personal diary. Whether it is because the people in front of you were walking too slowly that day, you had two exams or maybe you just ran out of Reese’s Puffs or something, it leads to some internal aggression that requires venting. If getting it off your chest via an expletive post on the University of Illinois Confessions page does the trick, then by all means do what you got to do. 3. The “Let me tell you a little too much about my bedroom life� post. You got lucky. We get it. Congratulations on whatever mini ego boost you got out of the experience. However, I could be spared the dirty details. And I definitely could live without knowing all the public places on campus that have been tainted. What goes on with you and your boo behind closed (and sometimes open) doors is probably something that NO ONE ELSE wants to hear about. Yeah. Please don’t. 4. The “I did the most hilarious thing ever while drunk� post. The inebriated mind often fools one into thinking that something is significantly funnier than it actually is. Apparently this mind-set still exists when that person decides to write about it on the Confessions page. I guess you just had to be there. 5. The “No one on campus meets my insanely high standards� post. Here we see the young romantics expressing sorrows over the fact that they can’t seem to find a nice, attractive guy or girl who they can hold intellectually stimulating conversations with. Our young Romeo (or Juliet) is yearning to find compatibility. It’s as if the pool of over 43,000 University students is just not enough. Talk about playing hard to get! 6. The “My relationship with Greek life� post. The trials and tribulations of brotherhood and sisterhood are often revealed through these types of posts. Their expectations of Greek life were not met or they discovered that being in a fraternity does not always equate to non-stop hookups. Spoiler alert: Greek life is not synonymous with the movie “Animal House.� 7. The “I have a hidden passion for food� post. So you gave into Fat Sandwich, some hot wings or a whole sleeve of Oreos and ended up consuming a week’s worth of calories in a single sitting. It left you with a greasy mouth, a sense of guilt and the feeling that you were housing another person inside your gut. But despite the human garbage disposal you have become, you secretly loved it and housed no guilt at all. Own it. Work it. After reading through several of these posts, I found myself way more aware than I’d like to be of things that go on at the University. I might even have lost a few brain cells in the process. At the same time, though, the University of Illinois Confessions page provided me with a few minor chuckles so it wasn’t all for naught. Stay classy, Champaign-Urbana.

Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies turns 50 BY JED LACY STAFF WRITER

After half a century of growth and education, the University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The program has planned a celebratory symposium for Friday at the Levis Faculty Center’s music room to commemorate the organization’s commitment to encouraging a better understanding of and engaging with Latin American culture. CLACS was originally formed as a response to Title IV of the Higher Education Act. The goal of Title IV was to offer funding to various universities around the country in an attempt to expand their range of resources. As a result of this legislation, CLACS was actualized in 1963 when it received its first grant from the Department of Education. As current associate director of CLACS, Angelina Cotler is proud of the work CLACS has done over the last 50 years to expand the knowledge of Latin America to University students. “There are only four or five universities in the entire United States whose CLACS program has been promoting Latin America for as long as ours. ... We believe it is important to promote this region because it is not only just important to the U.S., it is important to the rest of the world,” Cotler said. Today, CLACS is located in the International Studies Building at 910 S. Fifth St. in Champaign. Its main focus is to offer support and resources for students interested

in learning about Latin America. A few of the various resources that CLACS offers include: study abroad opportunities in Latin America, programs that teach indigenous Latin American languages, guest lecture series, the Latin American Film Festival and its Latin American and Caribbean Studies library collection. Located in the Main Library, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies library collection carries over 601,000 volumes and is thought to be one of the largest Latin American archives in the country, according to Antonio Sotomayor, the Latin American and Caribbean studies librarian. He has a unique perspective of exactly what the collection means to CLACS. “Our Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies is internationally recognized for its excellence and a big part of that is because of our library collection. It’s the combination of the center and the library working together that’s makes (the University) a very special place to study Latin America,” Sotomayor said. On Friday, CLACS will be hosting its “50 Years and Counting! Symposium” to commemorate a half century on campus. This event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be free to anyone who wants to attend. Additionally, CLACS will be providing breakfast and lunch. Arriving before 8:30 a.m. is encouraged, however, to allow enough time to eat breakfast and sign in before the symposium starts. James Sauls, graduate student in Latin American Studies, is look-

ing forward to the CLACS 50th anniversary symposium on Friday. Sauls sees this event as an opportunity to get to know and network with others associated with the CLACS program. “I expect to have fun with the new friends I have made since joining the master’s program for Latin American Studies. ... I think it will be a nice place to enjoy each other’s company and get to know one another better,” Sauls said. The symposium will be highlighted by a panel of guest speakers who will present their experiences and involvements with the CLACS program. Lecturers on this panel will include faculty of the Latin American studies program, CLACS alumni, directors of CLACS programs from other nationally recognized universities and former directors of the University’s CLACS program. The symposium will also pay special homage to the first director of the University’s CLACS Program, John Thompson. Thompson is the founding member of CLACS and was the man who applied for its first grant 50 years ago in 1963. Thompson will be attending Friday to celebrate the anniversary with many of his esteemed colleagues. “We want to thank him because without him we wouldn’t be where we are today,” Colter said. “From starting from scratch, I am sure he will be very proud of the progress CLACS has made over the past 50 years.”

ORCHESTRA tising and publicity director at Krannert, wrote in an email that the Krannert Center aims to “create vibrancy, dialog and joyful moments of collective celebration” by bringing in performers like CSO to the community. Lee-Calfas said the orchestra’s reputation helps introduce new audiences to the classical music genre. “A rich cultural life is critical to the wellness of any community and C-U is no different,” LeeCalfas said. Lee-Calfas said that tickets moved quickly when sales began on Aug. 10, and concert is currently sold out. However, according to Maureen Reagan, assistant director for marketing and patron services at Krannert, students and others wishing to attend the show can join the waitlist online. “The waitlist is well worth a chance ... we don’t know how big the stage is, so if we find out we can release some seats, we try to get those out,” Reagan said. Concert-goers can also attend a buffet-style dinner at Krannert’s Intermezzo Café at 5:30 p.m. before the show, Bell said.

Maestro Muti leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The CSO tours internationally and has made more than 25 stops at Krannert Center since 1969. Reagan has attended past CSO performances in Chicago and at Krannert and is looking forward to this year’s concert, she said. “Last year they brought pieces with three different musical styles and did such a beautiful job of bringing each time period to life,” Bell said. Annie Chung, a flutist and senior in Music, has also seen the CSO and will attend the concert next Saturday.

“The sound they produce is gorgeous,” Chung said. Students unable to attend the performance still can appreciate the music of the CSO. In fact, recordings are available for purchase on the orchestra’s website at cso.org. “The CSO really is a treasure,” Reagan said.

Cancer research progresses toward cure BY JUSTINE MCDANIEL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

When U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry released a groundbreaking report in 1964 linking smoking to cancer, the disease was a whispered word and a likely death sentence. In the decades since, researchers and doctors have worked to stamp out the many diseases known as cancer. Today, the fight against cancer stands at a place of unprecedented progress, with research yielding new drugs, more knowledge about cancer-causing genes, better prevention and improved public awareness. Dr. Otis W. Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, estimates that more than 1 million American cancer deaths have been averted over the last 20 years. In “1991 ... a lot of things that we learned about cancer actually started kicking in,” Brawley said. “It takes a long time to apply them, and then once you start applying them, you finally, finally ... get to a point where things start getting better.” This year, the society is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It was founded in 1913 by a team of New York businessmen and doc-

After earning her master’s in Federal Indian Law at the University of California – Los Angeles, she then went on to fulfill a personal commitment to contribute to education by becoming a high school science teacher in Los Angeles for three years. Her experience with the public education system revealed inconsistent teaching staff, inadequate funding for classroom supplies and even textbooks, and an overall inability to meet student needs. “I made a promise to myself that if I went to school that I owed a service to public education,” she said. In the end, this promise ended up impacting her in two important ways: she met her husband,

tors and has since become the largest non-governmental source of cancer research funding. It also provides patient support and focuses on public awareness. Researchers and physicians such as Brawley have watched in recent years as care has become increasingly personalized and highly targeted. Today, the risk of death from cancer is 20 percent lower than it was 20 years ago, according to society figures. Certain cancers have seen even greater declines in death rates: There has been a 39 percent decline in colorectal cancer death rates, a 34 percent decline for breast cancer and a 20 percent decline for lung cancer, Brawley said. Progress has occurred on all fronts, including disease prevention, detection strategies, surgery, radiation therapy and systemic treatments, according to Dr. William Nelson, director of the Baltimore-based Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. For progress to continue, innovation like this cannot be stifled by policy change, said Andy Hill, a Republican state senator in Washington’s 45th District, just east of Seattle, who was diagnosed with

lung cancer in 2009 at age 46. “My hope is that when my kids are 50, 60, 70, and they’re diagnosed with cancer, they do a test and take a pill to vanquish it,” he said. Given recent advances, Hill’s vision seems increasingly possible. According to researchers, new knowledge about what goes wrong in cells and the study of specific genes is creating more pinpointed treatments. Further, the development of anti-cancer drugs has taken off and become more cost effective, making it easier to get new drugs approved, Nelson said. “As we have defined the processes that are involved in a cell becoming cancerous, we’ve actually started redefining cancer,” Brawley said. “We’ve gone from a 19th-century definition of cancer to a 21st-century one.” “That will help us fine-tune our treatments even further,” he added. Under this new definition, a patient’s specific type of cancer will be less important than which gene causes it. Doctors can identify the genes that are “acting up” and use targeted drugs to block their activity, Brawley said. Some such drugs are already being successfully used.

Dr. Josh Beardall, an English teacher who taught down the hall at the time — and now also a current third-year law student at the University — and she discovered her passion for teaching. In the future, Rocha-Beardall said she wants to become a professor and continue to advocate for women and Native Americans in government and education. She was selected as one of 18 women to be a 2013 Fellow for Ms. JD, an organization that promotes women’s interests in the legal profession. As a female law candidate, Rocha-Beardall said she has been learning more about what it means to achieve success as an attorney. “(It means) speaking up for yourself in class, about carving out a space for yourself the way you want to be an attorney without somebody telling you that you have to do it like a woman,” she

said. “For rising female attorneys, it is a challenge to blur the lines of what a female lawyer is and can be because there continue to be strong gender biases in the profession.” Diaz said that as Rocha-Beardall works toward her law degree and pursues her interests in Federal Indian Law and American Indian Studies, her contributions will continue to be valued in both fields. “She talked about what she called these ‘rock star’ Native American women who are rising very quickly to positions of power both in the federal government and in the tribal court system and the difference they’re making,” Diaz said. “And I couldn’t help but wonder if we were watching a rock star in the earliest moments of her training.”

T

heresa Rocha-Beardall stood at the front of the compact, upstairs room of the Native American House, the bright blue glare of the projector light spilling onto her navy and white polka-dot dress that was as structured and poised as her words. She was the featured speaker Friday afternoon during “Chat ‘N Chew,� a series offered by the Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Relations, that provides free food and culturallyoriented talks to University students and faculty. This particular presentation was centered around influential native women in law. “Thank you to my fellow classmates at the law school for always listening to me talk about Federal Indian Law,� she began with a smile, “because it’s not taught at all (in the law school) right now, so they have to listen to me in every class bring

up that there were and are Native people with their own sovereign legal systems.� Rocha-Beardall, mother of two, is in her third year at the University’s law school, breaking into the field of law, where men outnumber women more than 2-to-1. She has Mexican, Oneida and Sault St. Marie roots and was born in the United States, where the government is still struggling with its legal relationship with immigrants and sovereign American Indian nations. And she is determined to give all of these parts of her background a voice. Rocha-Beardall focuses on bringing awareness to federal law and its relations with the sovereignty of American Indian Tribal Law, a field she characterizes as complex because it is a “body of law built on stolen land, broken treaties and forced assimilation.� While she said that to some of her law school classmates these view-

points may seem radical, she also has American-Indian friends who criticize her for being “too soft� in her discussions of the federal government. But Rocha Beardall said she “operate(s) in the middle� not only because it is more within her character, but also because she believes this is where negotiation happens. “I see the law as a place for negotiation, but you have to get people to be willing to sit at the table first to negotiate,� she explained. “And that’s a lot of what I do in the law school, is to get people to listen and to think differently about the law than they ever did before.� Nicole Stringfellow, also a thirdyear law student, said that her classmate’s point of view is valuable and eye opening. “There aren’t many voices expressing those same types of opinions and perspectives, so (her voice) is definitely unique and defi-

nitely necessary,� Stringfellow said. In law school and in her work as a graduate assistant fellow in the American Indian Studies program at the University, Rocha-Beardall is making an impression with her distinctive approach to the field of Federal Indian Law. Vicente Diaz, associate professor in the department of American Indian Studies, was part of the committee that hired Rocha-Beardall as a graduate assistant, and said that she is an asset to the American Indian Studies program. “I was not just proud of the presentation she gave, but it helped confirm why I came here to the University of Illinois,� Diaz said. “This is a place that is doing native studies in a very compelling and different way, and I think she shows that.� Before she came to ChampaignUrbana, Rocha-Beardall graduated from San Francisco State University with bachelor’s degrees in Latin

Chicago Symphony Orchestra to visit Krannert

In the midst of midterms, papers and assignments, it can be helpful to take a break and listen to music. This is especially true if it is the musical styling of the renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra has a packed October schedule, which includes

a concert at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts’ Great Hall on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The evening program includes three contrasting pieces: Wolfgang Mozart’s “Divertimento in D Major,� Paul Hindemith’s “Concerto for Violin and Orchestra� and Sergei Prokofiev’s suite from the ballet “Romeo and Juliet.� According to Celeste Wro-

The selection of movements from ...

Romeo and Juliet are specially selected by Maestro Muti to make a condensed, dramatic and contrasting series of orchestral showcases,� Wroblewski wrote in an email. The CSO has played at Krannert Center more than 25 times, a testament to their long-standing relationship. According to Wroblewski, visiting the Krannert

’Angelo Bentley was 9 years old the fi rst time his mom left. He went to see her off at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport with his stepfather, Robert Pope, his infant sister, Nakita, and his grandparents. It was 2004 and Angela Pope, Bentley’s mom, was boarding a plane for a trip that would eventually bring her to Bagram, Afghanistan.

Groce learns 9 new faces in 2nd season Inexperienced team holds exciting possibilities for Illini basketball BY JOHNATHAN HETTINGER STAFF WRITER

In his first year at Illinois, John Groce took over an entirely new team. He had to learn about his players’ personalities, their strengths and weaknesses. He had to learn how to best coach and lead them. One year later, he basically has to do it again. The Illinois men’s basketball team has nine new players this season, a fact that led Groce to assign the media a research project: to find another college basketball team with as many new faces. The Illini started practice on Sept. 27, allowing the new Illini to

begin to mesh on the court. “It’s an exciting time of year, but it’s challenging at the same time with a relatively new team,� Groce said. Illinois returns just five players: senior Joseph Bertrand, juniors Nnanna Egwu, Tracy Abrams and Rayvonte Rice, and sophomore Mike LaTulip. Only Bertrand, Egwu and Abrams played significant minutes last season, as Rice sat out after transferring from Drake and LaTulip is a walk-on. Five of the new additions are freshman, while the other four are transfers. Of the transfers, only senior Jon Ekey will be eligible to play this season.

know how to take it. Angela boarded her fl ight and was gone for the next four months. Bentley went home with his stepdad and sister. And then he ran away. That’s how Angela tells the story anyway. Bentley tells it differently. “I just, I don’t know,� he said. “I was just looking for things to do. I wouldn’t say I ran away.� Bentley slept in his own bed each night. He just spent more time at his grandmother’s house, more time at friends’ houses. There was another time during those four months that Angela called home from Afghanistan to talk to Bentley, and he wasn’t there. Her husband told her he’d gone to a family party on V’Angelo’s

After a 2013 season that saw the team earn a 19-14 record and a berth in the WNIT, the Illinois women’s basketball team is almost entirely new this season. The Illini return six players from last year’s squad, four of whom saw significant playing time, but the biggest losses will be the production left behind with the graduation of Karisma Penn and Adrienne GodBold. Penn nearly averaged a dou-

ble-double last season with 19.2 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per contest to go along with a team-high 50.6 percent shooting from the field — 9.2 percent higher than GodBold, who was second. If Penn was Illinois’ go-to scorer, GodBold was the team’s shutdown defender, earning the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award. GodBold also contributed 15.9 points per game and led the team averaging 2.95 steals a game. With the voids left by key

Even the returning players are different. Bertrand, Egwu and Abrams are all thicker and stronger. Egwu added about 20 pounds, bulking up to 250, while Bertrand looks like a new person, even changing his body type while recovering from a torn labrum. Groce said the Illini have benefited from a new practice schedule that began two weeks earlier and allows for off-days, rather than having just two weeks of practice before the first exhibition. “I love it so far,� Groce said. “I really like it because we have a young team, so it gives those guys a chance to recover physically, as well as mentally.� Through the first 10 practices, Groce said the team has made a lot of progress. He has also seen

FROM 1B

WONSOVER were stars in their high school days and maybe didn’t need to work as hard to succeed. Groce knows that for his team to be successful this season, every workout and practice needs to be important to the players. With the roster overhaul Illinois endured from a season ago, Groce needs all the help he can get. Only three rotation players return, and Rayvonte Rice practiced with the team last season. Beside that, four new transfers (though only Jon Ekey is eligible to play this season) to go along with the five incoming freshmen. In past years, Illinois has had clear-cut best players: Brandon Paul last year, Meyers Leonard the season before and Demetri McCamey the season before that. But this season the Illini have yet to find their go-to player. Just like Dorothy searching for an all-powerful Wizard, Groce is trying to find his team’s best player. Tracy Abrams is a prime candidate to lead the team. As a true freshman Abrams was named Team MVP during the 2011-12 season despite having sub-par numbers. Bruce Weber gave Abrams the award because of his leadership. Groce also spoke of Abrams’ improved leadership during the offseason. He made major strides in his sophomore campaign, improving his PPG from 4.3 to 10.6 while upping his PER from 7.5 to 15.9. Abrams was often Illinois’ most fearless player and drove with regularity, which was a nice change of pace from a roster full of shooters. Despite the improvements, Abrams still shot poorly (39.4 from the field, 27.2 from behind the arc) and turned the ball over far too often (19.4 times per 100 plays, leading the team). If the junior point guard can’t handle being the go-to player, maybe the lone returning upperclassman can pick up the slack. Joseph Bertrand might be the player most benefited by Paul’s departure. He can finally show what he is capable of now that Paul isn’t hoisting shots. Paul had the second-highest usage percentage in the Big Ten last year at 29.2. Bertrand ranked sixth on the team behind Griffey at 17.1, which is unacceptable for someone with his talent. Bertrand is quietly Illinois’ most efficient player, as he’s shot over 50 percent from the floor every year of his career thanks to his deadly floater. His true shooting percentage of 56.9 led the team last season (he was also second

THE DAILY ILLINI | WWW.DAILYILLINI.COM

on the team the season before). Bertrand has never played more than 22.7 minutes per game in a season, and that number should increase drastically this year. Bertrand averaged 13 points and seven rebounds in the four games he played last season where he got 30-plus minutes of playing time. With a higher usage rate those numbers should be even better next season. If Bertrand struggles with an expanded role, Drake transfer Rayvonte Rice could emerge as the team’s go-to option. Rice could do it all, as he led Drake in points (13.8), rebounds (4.8), steals (1.4) and blocks per game (0.8) as a freshman. Groce said Rice has the ability to play up to four positions. At 6-foot-4, he makes up for his lack of height with supreme strength. The burly Rice has actually lost 36 pounds since he first got to Illinois, but still outweighs Bertrand, who is two inches taller, by around 30 pounds. As Groce said during his press conference on Wednesday, Rice is a “grown man.� That strength helps Rice pull down boards at a prestigious rate for a guard (5.8 RPG during his sophomore season) while also helping him draw fouls in bunches (5.6 FTA per game for his career). Rice’s 16.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.9 SPG and 0.8 BPG line is so distinct, only six other guards in Division I basketball have put up those numbers in a season since 1997-98, according to sports-reference.com. One of them was Dwyane Wade, who accomplished the feat twice with Marquette. There are question marks surrounding Rice because of the level of competition, or lack thereof, he faced playing in the Missouri Valley Conference. We’ll see if Rice can adjust to the Big Ten grind. Maybe Abrams, Bertrand or Rice won’t develop into Illinois’ go-to player this season. Maybe that player will instead be someone else on the team, such as Nnanna Egwu or Illinois State transfer Jon Ekey, as doubtful as that may seem. Heck, maybe even a star will emerge from the heralded freshman class. Or maybe Illinois doesn’t need a clear-cut best player, but instead a team deep with ready contributors. As Groce and SEAL team trainers have reiterated to his team throughout the offseason, “How many people does it take to win? Everybody.� Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, maybe Groce and his team will discover they’ve had what they’ve been looking for all along.

Illini prepare for comeback against ASU BY SEAN NEUMANN STAFF WRITER

The Illini hockey team plays 22 games in Champaign this season, but this weekend’s series in Chicago will feel the closest to home. Twenty-seven of the 31 players on the Illini roster are from the Chicagoland area, and with over 87 percent of the players being able to sleep in their own beds this weekend, Fabbrini said the team should be well rested for their homecoming. Senior John Scully said the weekend is exciting for the home-bound Illini, especially the chance to get revenge on an Arizona State team that knocked them out of the ACHA tournament last season. “You’ve got a big team coming in and we still have a bad taste in our mouth from last year,� Scully said. “I think we learned our lesson from last weekend and hopefully we’ll come out and have a good weekend.� The Illini are coming off a disappointing weekend, in which they were swept at home by conference rival Iowa State, but captain Austin Bostock said the team’s confidence is fi ne after an intense week of practice and conditioning. “We’re ready to beat ASU both games this weekend,� Bostock said. “Everyone’s on the same page and we’re ready to go.� Bostock said the losses to Iowa State have increased players’ intensity and they fi nd themselves battling for the limited spots in the lineup.

“No one’s safe in the lineup,� Bostock said. “We’ve got such a talented group of guys that there’s going to be really talented guys sitting in the stands every week just because it’s so hard to crack our lineup.� The pair of losses to Iowa State was the fi rst time head coach Nick Fabbrini had been swept by the Cyclones in seven years as an Illini player and coach. “Everybody’s pissed and that’s good,� Fabbrini said. “When channeled the right way, I think losing those two games can turn out to be a good thing for us.� While Fabbrini agrees the players can’t dwell on the losses, he said they shouldn’t forget why and how they lost the games, either. “It’s important to remember the feeling that we had after those games and hearing Iowa State singing their fight song in our rink,� Fabbrini said. “If that doesn’t make you angry and motivate you to change things, then I don’t know what will.� Fabbrini hopes the Illini gather motivation from the losses and from the chance to play so close to home. But despite playing in front of family and friends, the Illini don’t have complete homeice advantage. Illinois is used to playing on the Big Pond’s 197-by-115 foot long sheet of ice — one of the biggest in the ACHA — but this weekend at Johnny’s Ice House, the Illini will play on an NHL regulation sized sheet of ice that’s 200-by-85 feet, an unfa-

The Illini will have a chance to adjust to the rink on Friday morning during a skating session before the two games. “It’s a very different game playing on a regulation size sheet,� Fabbrini said. “When we go out on the road, it’s such a big adjustment from what we’ve been practicing on for the last month.� The opportunity to get acclimated to the ice before the game and being at home in a familiar environment are both things that will do nothing but help the team when they look to bounce back against Arizona State after the losses at home, according to Bostock.

Bostock said Illinois has to have a short memory when it comes to losses like last weekend’s to the Cyclones and that the best thing for the team to do is to look ahead to their next opponent. “You think about it Saturday night, pissed about it Sunday, then you come ready to work on Monday,� Bostock said. “We can’t change it and we know we’re going to drop in the rankings, but the rankings don’t even matter until March. I hope ASU is No. 1 this weekend just so we can spank ‘em when they’re No. 1.�

summer and fall was to help the team become closer on and off the court. In order to help build chemistry between his new players, Groce had SEAL Team PT, a physical training group ran by former Navy SEAL John Maguire, work with the Illini this summer. The rhetoric from the SEAL workouts has brought the team a new outlook, one that the Illini will wear on their wrists this season:

E1H. While the Illini worked out, the SEALs would yell questions, the answers are abbreviated on the bracelet. “How many people does it take to win?� the SEALs would ask. “Everybody,� the Illini responded. “How many does it take to screw it up?� “One.� “What do you do when a team-

mate is confused?� “Help them.� In addition to the bracelets, Groce said he added new, tougher measures in practice because his players “need to be comfortable when things are uncomfortable,� a mindset of the SEALs.

Hartwell, a sophomore, is another one of the newcomers for the Illini, as she sat out the 2013 season while she transferred from Georgia Tech; although, Bollant said she would be the team’s starting point guard if not for the injury. “In scrimmages last year, she was our third leading scorer, even though she couldn’t play,� Bollant said. “She’s as fast with the basketball as anyone I’ve ever seen.�

With all of the fresh faces in the lineup, Bollant said one rule change could make recruiting easier for teams and save money. Bollant lobbied to have recruits to be able to practice with the team while on visits, with the advantage being that coaches can see how well players are able to learn and pick up a new system.

He’d left three days ago. “When she went (to Afghanistan), he wasn’t happy at all,� said Bentley’s father, Vernon Bentley, whom Angela never married. “He was rebelling against his stepfather a little bit.� For Angela, family is everything. Whenever there was an issue, her parents would sit her and her two brothers down and have a “family forum.� They would talk out the issue. That’s the type of environment Angela brought Bentley into. Whether it was problems at school or problems at home, the entire family was involved. They tracked him down and brought him home. Angela talked to her son about it over the phone. “I need you at home,� she told him. Vernon told Bentley that his mother left his stepfather in charge, and even if he didn’t like it, that’s the way it was. Vernon said rebellion just stemmed from the age Bentley was at. Bentley and his mother maintained a regular contact through emails and phone calls. It took Bentley a long time to really understand what his mom was doing. At some point while she was away, he looked at a map and saw where he was, in inner city Cleveland, and where she was, in Bagram. That’s when it hit him how far away she was, how impossible it was to reach her.

Vernon Is a family really broken if all of the pieces are still there? It could have seemed broken for Bentley when he was little. There were times when his father would tell him he’s coming to pick him up, and then he would never show. Bentley was a young kid growing up in Cleveland, a city with one of the highest percentages of single-parent households in the United States. There were a couple of years when Vernon wasn’t really around much. But Bentley always had support. If it wasn’t his mom, it was her parents, Letha and Phillip Shepherd. Vernon is a self-proclaimed “football dad,� but it was Bentley’s stepdad, Robert, who first tried to get him to play foot-

ball. Bentley was 7 years old. His mother was just looking for anything to get him involved in. Angela took him to play for a local team called the Bulldogs. She was leery about leaving him there alone, but she dropped him off and let him play. Bentley joined the team two weeks into practice. They were just getting their pads. Bentley put his on for the first time and was put in the “Bull in the Ring,� a drill that is banned by many youth leagues today. Players stand in a circle — with one player in the center — and fly at the player in the middle one-by-one, from any direction. Bentley remembers getting clocked by one of the biggest players on the team. After that he simply walked away from practice when no one was looking. A couple hours later Angela returned to pick up her son. He was nowhere to be found. After a frantic couple of minutes she found him on the opposite side of the park, playing in a sand mound. “He was having a ball,� Angela remembers. “He was dirty as all get-out. I was like, ‘Dude, where were you supposed to be?’� Angela took him home and rethought the decision to have him play football. Bentley hadn’t understood football, and he hadn’t wanted to be there. The next year Bentley went to his father and told him he wanted to play football. Vernon took him to Rick Wilcox, a close friend and coach of the East Cleveland Chiefs. This time Bentley wanted to play; he was ready. Wilcox agreed. The Chiefs coaches thought he was a natural. No one could catch him on the field. Vernon and Angela watched their son evolve into someone who not only liked football, but was also good at it.

Angela What if one of the pieces goes missing? The trip from Bagram Airfield — about an hours drive north of Kabul, the capital — to Ramstein Air Base in southwest Germany traverses more than 3,000 miles. When the aircraft is filled with 40 or 50 wounded soldiers, many of whom need constant care, it can lead to some long days. It’s even worse when the orders are to turn around and come right back to Afghanistan. It was Angela’s job to care for those wounded soldiers on the

countless flights she made from Afghanistan to Germany during her two tours of duty. When she knew it would be a long mission, she’d email or call home to her family in Cleveland and let them know that she’d be out of contact for a while. She originally joined the Air Force in 1986 for what she calls “selfish reasons.� After two years of college, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life. A military career would provide her with an education, a steady job and a chance to see the world. She never thought she’d wind up in a war-torn country, caring for scores of wounded servicemen. When she joined, America had not been in a major military conflict since Vietnam, more than a decade before. War was an afterthought. But it became very real. Angela cared not only for Americans, but any wounded who came through Bagram. That included Afghan soldiers. “Truthfully,� she said, “like you hear on TV, that they didn’t really want us over there, I sensed that.� In the mind of an Afghan soldier, the roadside IED that tore apart his or her body wouldn’t have been there at all if the Americans weren’t there. Angela could feel the resentment. And she saw a world that was vastly different from the world she knew. “You see the dirt and grime,� Angela said, “the inhumane way that they live over there, and you’d be appalled to see Americans fighting over an elevator. It’s like, ‘Guys, there’s a bigger picture out there.’� “Just take the stairs.� Angela spent a total of 10 months in Afghanistan: four in 2004 and another six in 2007. But she was never more than a phone call away. Especially the second time she left, when Skype made seeing her face possible for her family. When she left for Afghanistan the second time, she left voluntarily. It was the perspective it gave her that convinced her to go back, and the pride that helping the men and women on the front lines gave her. It felt different the second time they said their good-byes from Cleveland Hopkins. Bentley was 12 going on 13. He understood what was going on. There was a hesitation in his goodbye. He wasn’t going to rebel this time. Angela noticed the difference.

determination, his goals, he knows exactly what he wants, where he’s going, and how he’s going to get there.� Bentley finished high school valedictorian of his class of 62. If a career in football doesn’t work out, he wants to be an engineer. Right now his focus is on school and Illinois football. And like Ginn taught him, he wants to see his name in the record books.

Her son was growing up.

Coach Ginn There is an all-boys school in the Collinwood neighborhood in Cleveland that tries to keep the stray pieces together. The school’s called the Ted Ginn Academy and was founded by a former high school security guard who never took a college class. The man who gives his name to the school is Ted Ginn, Sr., the father of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr. The school was founded in 2007 by Ginn, who coaches the football and track teams. Some 350 boys pass through the doors of Ginn Academy each day wearing the required red and black school uniforms. Bentley knew he wanted to be one of those boys when he was in middle school. He saw what Ginn could do for people, how he could guide them in the right direction. Angela, however, wasn’t so sure. Bentley had been in Catholic school all his life and Ginn Academy — a public school — wasn’t convincing for his mom. Bentley met with Ginn and had him call Angela. Ginn did his best to sell his school to her. “Why would you put him in a school that you’re going to pay thousands of dollars a year for the same education (as Ginn Academy)?� Ginn asked her. She was afraid Ginn Academy wouldn’t be challenging enough for Bentley academically. She was afraid the balance between football and academics would tilt in the direction of the gridiron. Ginn made her a promise. “Give me a year,� he said. “And at the end of the first year of school, if he’s not living up to what you need him to live up to, I will personally put him in a Catholic school for you.� Bentley became one of those boys wearing the red jackets. Ginn Academy created a sense of pride. People in Cleveland knew what those red jackets represented. Coach Ginn teaches boys to be men. He teaches men to lead, not follow. Being a follower in inner city Cleveland often meant going off the beaten path. Bentley didn’t follow. On the football field and on the track, Ginn was all about putting your name in the record book, breaking down barriers. “Ted Sr. played a big part in helping mold the gentleman you see today,� Angela said. “His

V’Angelo His name is a combination of his mother’s and father’s. Vernon. Angela. V’Angelo. A lot of things went into shaping a soon-to-be 20-year-old from the inner city into a valedictorian and a starting Big Ten cornerback. His family is one. Coach Ginn always said to keep family close, because when something goes wrong, they’re the ones who will stick with you. Vernon said one person has made a difference more than any other. “His mom,� Vernon said. “She played a big part (in who he’s become). She used to read to him when she was pregnant. ‘Those smarts will get into him when he’s born.’ That’s what she used to say.� “He and I, we have this bond,� Angela said. Words can’t explain it. But one play might. On Aug. 31, V’Angelo stood in the end zone at Memorial Stadium, waiting to return a kickoff from Southern Illinois. In the stands, Angela watched her son. She’d made the trip from Cordova, Tenn., where she now lives working as a nurse in the Memphis Veterans Affairs Medical Center. V’Angelo fielded the kickoff with his right foot just in front of the goal line on the left hash mark. He raced up field 10 yards toward the Southern Illinois coverage and cut to his right. Angela watched her son follow his blockers. He cut all the way over to the right hash mark and straight through a gap of defenders. He came up to the 35-yard line, the Southern Illinois kicker was directly in front of him. In the stands, Angela told her son what to do. “Go left! Go left!� she yelled. He made one quick fake to his right, without missing a stride, and cut back to his left. The kicker had no chance. He sprinted past another couple of defenders and saw open field. There was nobody within an

arms length of him for the next 35 yards. One defender made a last ditch effort to catch him at the 10-yard line, but V’Angelo wasn’t going to be caught. He raced into the end zone untouched the entire way and looked right into the cameras along the sideline as his teammates mobbed him. In the stands, a stranger sitting behind Angela said, “I know that must be your son. You were moving and talking, it was like he could hear you.� She hadn’t realized she was doing it. At 100 yards, the return automatically became tied for the longest in Illinois — and NCAA — history. It was just the second time in its 123-year history Illinois had a 100-yard return. Travis Williams and Eugene Wilson combined for a 100-yard kickoff return on a lateral play against Purdue in 2002. Either way, V’Angelo was in the record book. “When I returned the kick, I could hear (Coach Ginn) saying, ‘Put your name on something,’� he said. “That will go down in the Illinois books forever.� Vernon was in the stands that day, too. He’d made the trip from Cleveland, where he still lives, working for AT&T. He said he ran about a hundred yards himself up the aisle and back down again when V’Angelo returned the kickoff. And for a little while, they could rejoice — V’Angelo on the sideline, mom and dad in the stands. All of the pieces, together as one.
