GEO keeps open possibility of going on strike BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER

Frustrated with the progress of negotiations, the Graduate Employees’ Organization is opening the door to the possibility of a strike. Organization members met Thursday night to discuss the possibility of fi ling a notice of intent to strike to the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board. With 173 of 175 members in favor, the GEO decided

to fi le the paperwork. Monte Beaty, member of the GEO bargaining team, said the act of fi ling the notice is a basic step in the bargaining process. It does not mean graduate employees will actually go on strike, but it gives them the option to do so in the future. “All this means is that we’re putting the administration on notice that at some point in the future, we may have a second vote, which would move forward

a work action (strike),” Beaty said. Before legally instituting a strike, the IELRB requires labor unions to fi le this paperwork, according to the board’s administrative code. The code also states that the graduate employees cannot engage in a strike until 10 days after they give the paperwork to the University, a regional superintendent and the IELRB. The GEO has been in negotiation with the University regard-

ing a new contract for months, as the organization’s 2009 contract expired Aug. 16. GEO bargaining members recently requested a state mediator to act as a communicator between the parties after University administrators denied the GEO’s wish to fi le a joint request for mediation. Though Beaty said the IELRB told the GEO on Thursday they were moving forward with the organization’s unilateral request for mediation, the University had

since changed its mind. The University agreed to fi le the joint request for mediation to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. “It makes things a lot easier going forward if we both agree to bringing this third-party communicator to help us move forward in the process of negotiation to get some of these really hard issues off the table,” Beaty said. Stephanie Seawell, GEO communications officer, said she

hopes a mediator will help to improve the organization’s communication with the University. She said the GEO has met with administrators 19 times, but the two parties have yet to agree on any important issues, such as wages, healthcare and tuition waivers. “We need (the University) to understand that we’re serious. We have to talk about tuition

Last produce of summer sold on Quad at farmstand BY CLAIRE EVERETT STAFF WRITER

It’s out with the warm-season vegetables and in with the cold for the Student Sustainable Farm. On Thursday, the farm held its final farmstand of the year on the Quad. The produce was displayed on a folding farmstand, a device designed by University architecture students. It made its debut at the beginning of this harvest season. University graduate and current farmhand Claire Johnson said taking down the stand for the last time made her sad. “This was my favorite day of the week — to come out on the Quad, interact with people and tell them about the sustainable farm and the organic food they’re getting,” Johnson said. She joked, “I might cry later.” Farm workers did one last harvest this week and then mowed over where the warm-season crops were. They harvested the last of the tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, summer squash, melons and pumpkins. “These are the dregs of the tomatoes,” said Jenny Goodwine, farmhand and University graduate, as she surveyed the farmstand. “Now we’re harvesting the hardier greens like kale, collards, chard and fall vegetables.” Despite the drought, the farm has had a successful season because of its drip irrigation system that replenished the soil with water. Johnson said everything “seemed pretty plentiful” until the frost last week. “In August and earlier September we were

Muslims reveal why they conceal ‘Wear a Hijab Day’ sheds light on meaning of the head scarf BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

Hijabs are more to Muslim women than an observation of faith. This was the message Muslim students shared Thursday with University students who tried on the hijabs, or head scarves. As part of Islam Awareness Week, the Muslim Student Asso-

ciation hosted “Wear a Hijab Day” at which members distributed pink hijabs in front of the Illini Union, so students could experience a day wearing the head scarves. Zahra Siddiqui, member of the MSA and sophomore in LAS, said many of the students trying on hijabs did so because they didn’t know that they could.

“It’s for everyone,” she said. “In a lot of faiths and cultures (not just Islam), women do wear a scarf to cover themselves for modesty purposes.” Siddiqui and other MSA members spent the afternoon pinning hijabs on students and educating them on what it means to wear one. “In this day and age where women are constantly being sexually objectified, it’s like my way of standing up to that and saying I’m more than just a physical body,” she said. “That’s what hijab means to me, and, of course, it’s a commandment of my lord, and I feel proud

representing my faith in that way.” Students took part in the event regardless of faith. Debbie Newcomb, junior in LAS, said she heard about the event through an Arabic class. Newcomb is a Christian and said she tried a hijab at the event because she wanted to experience the culture. “I didn’t know that it would fit so tight,” she said. Newcomb said she knew people might stare at her while she wore the hijab. “It’s such a different concept compared with the Western con-

Local currency initiative smiles on community BY JANELLE O’DEA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Paying for something with a Smile instead of a dollar may sound too good to be true. UC Smiles, a new local currency program, will launch as a six-month pilot program Nov. 1 and aims to boost the community economy, strengthen area culture and encourage local shopping, according to a news release. Smiles are equal to $1 and are offered in increments of one, fi ve and 20 .

Prime time for University to compromise with GEO

DANE GEORGES THE DAILY ILLINI

Third-party candidates not irrelevant, offer voters a chance to make their voices heard this election

the elections draw closer and closer, the press is talking about the missteps of presidential hopefuls former Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. But in only discussing the Republican and Democrat hopefuls, the media are unfairly limiting the general population’s knowledge about the presidential candidates. Third parties tend to have different objectives than the two main parties. While the Republican and Democratic parties’ main goal is obtaining as many seats as possible, third parties stick to ideology. Republicans and Democrats often disagree on issues regardless of party similarities, while third parties agree on similar views and approaches to issues. To win an election, a candidate generally needs to appeal to the most moderate voter, even though Romney and Obama may at times pull far right or left. Third party candidates, largely because they know they are unlikely to win, appeal to beliefs that many moderate Americans may not have. Third party candidates are rarely discussed in mainstream media. The logic behind it being that these candidates will not win, so they do not deserve coverage. However, these candidates are still capable of shaping American policy and do from time to time — Libertarian former Gov. Gary Johnson is vying for the presidency, and there are two independents in the Senate, but they generally side with Democrats, though. The notion that voting for a third party candidate is a waste of a vote is outdated and inaccurate. In the upcoming presidential election, no third party presidential candidate will win an entire state, let alone the election, but voting for a third party candidate sends a message to Republicans and Democrats: Certain beliefs and stances are important enough that voters will put their voice behind a candidate who will not win instead of a candidate they disagree with who has better odds of winning. In Illinois, Johnson is on the ballot for the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein is on the ballot for the Green Party. Johnson is on the ballot in 47 states and the District of Columbia, while Stein is on the ballot in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Despite the fact that voters in many states can vote for these candidates, they are still ignored in debates and pundit discussions. Johnson and Stein have responded to the first presidential debate and refuted the two candidates, but they are not invited to the debates. The real importance of third party candidates comes in when people are dissatisfied with the Republican and Democratic parties. Many Americans base their vote on the principle of “the lesser of two evils”; that is, they settle for the candidate they think will do the least harm. But third party candidates allow Americans to support someone who better aligns with their views. Americans should vote for the candidate they like rather than the one they think will do the least harm. Whether that candidate is a Republican, Democrat or something else, people should vote for someone whose policies they wholeheartedly support.

To Chancellor Phyllis Wise: recent blog posts and a video, you proclaim this the “Year of Opportunity for Illinois.” You declare that one major goal is to “Recruit, support, retain, and graduate larger numbers of students, with a focus on racial, ethnic, religious, cultural, geographic, and age diversity.” You also note that the Morrill Act of 1862 “was a pure stroke of brilliance, opening the doors to higher education to all bright young women and men, no matter their race or economic status.” And you ask, “How will we continue to offer access to excellence that our Land Grant heritage expects? How will we build the research resources that lead to great discovery? How will we attract and retain the best faculty, the best students, and best staff?” Tuition waivers are an essential part of the “best positioning” you claim for our campus. Without the security of tuition waivers for all nonprofessional graduate students, economic status will become the primary factor determining which “bright young women and men” continue their education at the University in the hopes of becoming state, national, and world leaders in academia, business, engineering, the arts, politics, science, nongovernmental organizations, and their communities. Tuition waivers are crucial as the compensation for the work graduate employees do off the clock: taking classes, participating in reading groups, attending conferences, writing articles, mentoring each other, sitting on committees and otherwise participating in the “life of the mind.” As it is, one-third of the teaching assistants and Graduate Assistants on this campus do not earn a living wage, based on the University’s own calculations. The Office of Student Financial Aid estimates it costs a nonresident graduate student a minimum of $16,926 to live in C-U for nine months (not including tuition and fees), whereas the minimum salary for a graduate employee working a standard 50 percent appointment of 20 hours per week is $14,820, according to Year 3 of the most recent contract. That means many get a second job, cutting into their productivity to earn enough money to live in this community during the academic year, never mind feed and house themselves (and their families) over the summer, when most of us do not receive financial aid. In this “Year of Opportunity,” we request that you end the years of hostility from the administration toward labor unions on this campus. Instruct the University’s bargaining teams to compromise with union representatives on issues of importance to both sides. For instance, this includes not requiring the Graduate Employees Organization to give up monetary proposals in exchange for signing mutually agreeable, zero-cost contract language protecting the right of nursing graduate employees to a space for breastfeeding or pumping that is not a bathroom stall. This language is already Illinois law and University policy and, if included in our contract, would allow students facing discrimination on this issue to follow the official grievance process. The administration’s bargaining team has rejected this proposal six times, despite agreeing with its substance. Furthermore, the administration’s bargaining team has categorically refused to even talk about the matter of tuition waivers, never mind compromise on it. In the past, the University administration has argued that tuition waivers are a benefit of one’s status as a student, rather than a benefit of employment. If this were so, then “students who resign their assistantship appointments before working at least three-fourths of the term” would retain their waivers and not be assessed tuition. Yet this is not so. Tuition waivers are evidently a benefit of employment and by law must be bargained in good faith. GEO and UIUC administration representatives have been bargaining since April 13. TAs and GAs have been working without a contract since Aug. 15. We deserve to be treated with respect at the bargaining table so that together we can craft a new contract. Not only is it fair, but it is the law. This “Year of Opportunity” is your chance to change the administration’s approach to its labor unions and to ensure the University is accessible to all potential graduate students, nursing, working-class or otherwise.

October brings breast cancer awareness KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

he fall weather brings not only crisp leaves and apple cider, but it also brings the month of October: breast cancer awareness month. Pink ribbons are being sported on everything from clothing to car bumpers to increase awareness about the cancer and to raise money for ongoing research. Recently, movie star Liam Neeson went on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to promote his new movie, “Taken 2,” and to aid the talk show host in raising money for breast cancer research. Neeson was placed in a seat above a water tank wearing nothing but a hot-pink Speedo, and one lucky audience member got the opportunity to dunk him as people watching called in to make donations. The audience member was successful: Neeson got soaked, and the show raised $20,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For many, this month is personal, a time to participate in the cause to raise awareness because so many people’s lives have been touched by cancer. But for others, this month will be brushed off, forgotten, seen only as a prelude to winter. It’s important to be mindful of just how far-reaching cancer can be, and in some ways it affects us all. Bad things happen to good people. My mother is living proof of that —

she is a two-time survivor of breast cancer. She underwent extensive treatment and surgeries during her struggle but is now in remission and has been for eight years. For me, her story serves as a constant reminder to approach each day as an opportunity to be a better person, to live a fuller life. This is something that can only be achieved if you take charge of your well-being and become more aware of health risks. As college students, we feel invincible, unbreakable and untouchable. Because we are young and about to embark on lives filled with endless possibilities, the thought of getting cancer is an abstract notion so far removed from our own lives that it’s almost incomprehensible. But the reality is that we are human, and even we are susceptible to the cruelest of diseases. I say this not to sound morbid in any way, but to encourage everyone to become knowledgeable. Many have the mentality that cancer cannot happen to them, but it has proved time and time again that it can happen to anyone. The American Cancer Society recently released the latest breast cancer statistics for 2012, which displayed that approximately 226,870 new cases of breast cancer have been documented. But here is the good news: Breast cancer, and many other forms of cancer for that matter, is not what it was 25 years ago. It is no longer a death sentence. In fact, the number of women who die of breast cancer is steadily decreasing, which could be a result of the extensive work being done to combat the disease.

New research such as testing preventative drugs, studying genes, trying new surgery techniques and experimenting with different treatment options are being developed every day to better understand the disease with the ultimate goal of finding a cure. The most critical thing any person can do is to become empowered with knowledge. Learn about your family history, the signs and symptoms, and how to stay proactive with your health. You cannot ignore even the slightest of symptoms because the risk of not acting is just too high — you may as well be gambling with your life. Many doctors who treat breast cancer say early detection is key, which further emphasizes the fact that women need to be examined on a regular basis and become educated on all aspects of the disease. Cancer is not just for people over 30; it is unbiased against age, which is why it is imperative that college students understand the risks and warning signs of cancer because it can affect anyone. Be inspired to learn more so you increase your chances of preventing this disease from touching your life. Whether you’re motivated by the organizations that raise awareness during October, by a mother who has had breast cancer or by Liam Neeson in a Speedo, decide to be informed so you can live not just in this moment, but for many more moments to come.

‘The Boy Who Lived’ and ‘The Girl on Fire’ TA’LES LOVE Opinions columnist

his past weekend I finally finished “Mockingjay,” the last novel in The Hunger Games trilogy. Although my interest in the series is a bit belated, the saying “better late than never” rings true and the void that the conclusion of Harry Potter brought has somewhat been filled. Last year, when sitting down to watch “The Deathly Hallows Part II,” I was not only witnessing the ending of a fantastic story, but also the conclusion to an era and worldwide phenomenon and most importantly, my childhood. For 10 years, when a movie or novel was released, the world seemed to come to a halt as people gathered around their nearest movie screen or turned the page to follow the latest developments in Harry’s saga. However, the Deathly Hallows finally put an ending to this sensation leaving many fans wanting to relive the magic of it all. For years we watched a shy and insecure wizard struggle to come to terms with his own prominence and destiny. At the age of 12, the parentless young boy is sent off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and inevitably forced into a constant battle with one of the darkest wizards of all time. There were times when the audience may have felt that Harry wouldn’t make it, but he quickly transformed into a fearless young man. This was the story of an under-

dog fighting to overcome all adversity when the odds weren’t in his favor. And because defying the odds is a theme so relatable, the world closely followed his every move. With that being said, there will never be another novel series to overtake or surpass the magnitude of Harry Potter. Fans looking for that same excitement should look toward “The Hunger Games” for something similar. The story of Katniss Everdeen is one that has the potential for a similar greatness. Like Potter, Katniss Everdeen is forced to find her inner strength and rise above all obstacles when her odds are purposely constructed to be unfavorable. Everdeen lives in Panem, a country in a dystopian society where the population is divided into 12 districts run by the tyrannical and selfindulgent government known as the Capitol. The Capitol holds an annual, nationally televised death match known as The Hunger Games, where two tributes, randomly selected from each district are forced to fight to the death until there is a one sole victor. After volunteering for her sister, Everdeen goes on to win the 74th Hunger Games by defying the government and sparking the beginnings of a national uprising. However it is the aftermath and the tyrannical reigns of the president that Katniss must survive. While her troubles are enough to break her down, Katniss remains strong and emerges as a great heroine, similar to that of Potter. Like “The Boy Who Lived,” the beloved Mockingjay goes to great lengths to protect the people that she loves, frequently risking her own

life. Although the people view her as a great symbol, “The Girl on Fire” often underestimates her own inner power but succeeds at rising to all challenges presented to her. The Hunger Games is less magical than Harry Potter, but provides more realness with its themes of oppression and corruption. With our society’s struggling economy and constant obsessions with money and reality television “The decadence of the Capitol” isn’t as apocalyptic as it may seem. Lisa Schwartzbaum from Entertainment Weekly wrote of the film, “It conveys both the miseries of the oppressed, represented by the poorly fed and clothed citizens of Panem’s 12 suffering districts, and the rotted values of the oppressors, evident in the gaudy decadence of those who live in the Capitol.” Katniss’s transformation into a symbol of freedom, justice and equality allows readers to root for another underdog. While the story still provides the entertainment of a love triangle, its audience is captivated by the determination and compassion of this young girl, like that of Harry. It is evident that the audience of The Hunger Games has recognized the story’s brilliance. The trilogy has triumphed over Harry Potter and become “Amazon’s best-selling book series.” While nothing will replace a ride on the Hogwarts Express, those who partake in The Hunger Games will find themselves falling in love with the story and cheering on Katniss as they did Harry.

Teachers create own materials to sell online BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Kristine Nannini spent her summer creating wall charts and student data sheets for her fifth-grade class — and making $24,000 online by selling those same materials to other teachers. Teachers like Nannini are making extra money providing materials to their cash-strapped and time-limited colleagues on curriculum sharing sites like teacherspayteachers.com, providing an alternative to more traditional — and generally more expensive — school supply stores. Many districts, teachers and parents say these sites are saving teachers time and money, and giving educators a quick way to make extra income. There is a lot of money to potentially be made. Deanna Jump, a fi rst-grade teacher at Central Fellowship Christian Academy in Macon, Ga., is the website’s top seller, earning

about $1 million in sales over the past two years. She believes the site has been successful because educators are looking for new ways to engage their students, and the materials are relatively inexpensive and move beyond textbooks “I want kids to be so excited about what they’re learning that they can’t wait to tell mom and dad,” she says. Dozens of Internet forums have been created to help teachers distribute their material and pick up ideas from other educators. Teacherspayteachers.com is one of the biggest. It was started by a former teacher in New York in 2006 and quickly grew. Others followed, like the sharemylesson. com run by the American Federation of Teachers, the nation’s second largest teachers union, where free curriculum ideas and materials are offered. While most characterize these sites as an inexpensive way for teachers to supplement textbook

materials, some teachers may get pushback from administrators for their entrepreneurial efforts. Seattle Public Schools’ recently revised its ethics policy, with the new policy prohibiting teachers from selling anything they developed on district time, said district spokeswoman Teresa Wippel. “Anything created on their own time could also cross a gray line, depending on the item and how closely tied it is to classroom work,” she said. Teacherspayteachers.com currently has about 300,000 items for sale plus more than 50,000 free items. More than 1 million teachers have bought or sold items on teacherspayteachers.com since it began. Teachers had $5 million in sales during August and September, said site founder Paul Edelman. After paying the site fees, teachers have collectively earned more than $14 million on the site since it was founded.

Live-stream hits mainstream during major music festivals BY PAUL J. WEBER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas — Music festivals are booming, and so is one alternative to paying soaring ticket prices to spend a long weekend packed among 50,000 or more typically sweaty concertgoers: watching the performances online for free. At the Austin City Limits Music Festival, about a third of the nearly 130 bands on a lineup that includes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys and Jack White will have their sets broadcast on YouTube. That’s a record for the three-day festival that starts Friday. Just six years ago organizers began webcasting with a single feed and struggled to persuade artists to even participate. The same was once true at trendsetters like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. But as Austin City Limits marks the unofficial end of the big-festival calendar in the U.S. for 2012, this year might also go down as the year when live-streams started crossing into mainstream. Take the year’s most talked-about performance: Tupac

Shakur rising from the dead as a hologram at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in a resurrection that was live-streamed from the California desert and talked about around the world. The rock band Delta Spirit will be among the fi rst acts up on Austin City Limit’s YouTube channel. “It’s never going to equal seeing it live. But it’s cool that it engages more people,” Delta Spirit lead singer Matt Vasquez said. “We’re a generation of content, aren’t we? We love to fi ll up our days with as little space as possible.” Promoters aren’t trying to sell live-streaming as a substitute for the you-had-to-be-there experience of concerts. Especially since, in many cases, you still very much have to be there to catch some of the biggest headliners: Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Weezer are among the performers in Austin this weekend whose sets won’t be broadcast on the Web. Nor do live-steams pose any threat to attendance or profits. Three-day passes for Austin City Limits this year ran for $200 and

sold out within an hour of the day the full lineup was announced. But festival live-streaming has come a long way in a short time, even by technology standards. Organizers of the country’s biggest music festivals declined to reveal the size of their online audiences. But at C3 Presents, which puts on Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, the number of live-stream viewers has climbed into the “high millions,” said Courtney Trucksess, director of sponsorship. At Bonnaroo, which began livestreaming around the same time as Austin City Limits, there’s been a “big increase” in views and the amount of time each user spends watching, said Jonathan Mayers, co-founder of Superfly Presents, which produces the four-day Tennessee festival. “We’ve seen the average view time is over an hour in one sitting,” said Chris Roach, head of business development for AEG Digital Media, which has produced live-streaming for Coachella and other open-air concerts. “That’s a pretty engaged eyeball for an advertiser to put their dollar against.”

Countries’ chocolate consumption correlated with Nobel Prize winners BY KARL RITTER AND MARILYNN MARCHIONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Take this with a grain of salt, or perhaps some almonds or hazelnuts: A study ties chocolate consumption to the number of Nobel Prize winners a country has and suggests it’s a sign that the sweet treat can boost brain power. No, this does not appear in the satirical Onion newspaper. It’s in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, which published it online Wednesday as a “note” rather than a rigorous, peer-reviewed study. The author — Dr. Franz Messerli, of St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University in New York — writes that there is evidence that flavanols in green tea, red wine and chocolate can help “in slowing down or even reversing” age-related mental decline — a contention some medical experts may dispute. Nevertheless, he examined whether a country’s per-capi-

ta chocolate consumption was related to the number of Nobels it had won — a possible sign of a nation’s “cognitive function.” Using data from some major chocolate producers on sales in 23 countries, he found “a surprisingly powerful correlation.” Switzerland led in chocolate consumption and Nobels, when looked at according to population. The United States is in the middle of the pack with the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Belgium and Germany. At the bottom were China, Japan and Brazil. The study only includes Nobels through last year — not the ones being announced this week. Curiously, Sweden should have produced only 14 winners according to its appetite for chocolate, yet it had 32. Messerli speculates that the Nobel panel, based in Sweden, may have “patriotic bias” toward fellow countrymen — or that Swedes are very sensitive to the effects of chocolate so that “even minus-

cule amounts greatly enhance their cognition.” It is possible, he admits, that chocolate isn’t making people smart, but that smart people who are more likely to win Nobels are aware of chocolate’s benefits and therefore more likely to consume it. Sven Lidin, the chairman of the Nobel chemistry prize committee, had not seen the study but was giggling so much when told of it that he could barely comment. “I don’t think there is any direct cause and effect,” Lidin said. “The fi rst thing I’d want to know is how chocolate consumption correlates to gross domestic product.” Messerli also calculated the “dose” of chocolate needed to produce an additional Nobel winner — about 14 ounces per person per year, or about nine Hershey bars. He discloses that he is doing his part — he eats chocolate daily, mostly Lindt dark.

Volleyball looks to end skid against Spartans BY DANIEL MILLER-MCLEMORE STAFF WRITER

In spite of skidding to its longest losing streak since 2007, the No. 22 Illinois volleyball team is maintaining a level approach heading into Saturday’s match against Michigan State. Head coach Kevin Hambly and his players have long preached patience with the process of developing a young team and constantly improving each practice, point, set and match. That mindset appeared effective throughout the fi rst 16 games of the season, in which the Illini’s play was steadily progressing, though toting an 8-8 record and carrying a No. 22 Illinois Michigan State three-game (8-9, 2-5 Big Ten) (15-3, 3-3) losing streak Saturday, 5:30 p.m. into WednesEast Lansing, Mich. day’s game at Michigan.

The loss was a shock to the system for the Illini, whose previous three losses had been five-set battles against highly ranked teams, leaving them searching for answers. “I mean, we didn’t talk at all after the game,” senior Erin Johnson said, describing the players’ post-match mood as very subdued. “I think it was at that point where none of us really even knew what to say after that. We were just disappointed in ourselves.” Johnson stressed the importance of using the feeling of defeat to her team’s advantage moving forward but letting the rest of the match go and looking ahead to Michigan State. The middle blocker noted that the Illini still have time left to turn it around and recognized their

‘Big Pond’ offers big advantage to Illinois Oversized rink gives Illini hockey extra space, disorients opponents BY STEPHEN BOURBON STAFF WRITER

There’s no place like home. For the Illinois hockey team, the cliché is quite literal. Known as the “Big Pond,” the home ice for the Illini is actually bigger than regulation-sized rinks. The NHL as well as ACHA opponents use rinks that are 200 feet by 85 feet, but the Big Pond is much wider at 195 by 115. The size difference creates an intriguing adjustment for visiting teams, as well as for Illinois when it takes to the road. “It plays to a lot of guys’ strengths,” forward Austin Bostock said. “It’s defi nitely a home-ice advantage.” The arena was initially built in 1931 as an ice skating rink and the hockey team has inhabited it ever since its inaugural season in 1959.

Illinois features a strong set of forwards with Bostock, John Olen and Scott Barrera, who are able to fully take advantage of the extended room to the outside. Because of the unique size, many opposing teams are caught off guard by the extra width on the ice. “Sometimes teams come in here and are a little dumbfounded,” senior defenseman Mike Evans said. “A lot of teams, if it’s their fi rst time here, pack in their defense to the center of the ice and it gives us a lot of room to move the puck around. It really works to our advantage.” The extra space cuts both ways, however, as the Illinois defenders must cover a lot more ice in the defensive zone than on a regular rink. Especially

Groce, players set lofty goals for upcoming basketball campaign ‘TNT’ wristbands get Illinois men’s basketball squad in NCAA mindset BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER

ETHAN ASOFSKY THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois men’s basketball coach John Groce speaks to reporters during Illinois men’s basketball media day at Ubben Basketball Complex on Wednesday, where players and new head coach John Groce answered questions about the upcoming season before they officially open up practice Friday.

Groce offers expectations, thoughts on the 2012-13 basketball season BY ETHAN ASOFSKY SENIOR WRITER

Illinois men’s basketball hosted its media day Wednesday, as players and new head coach John Groce answered questions about the upcoming season before they officially open up practice Friday. Amidst an offseason with a lot of turnover, here are Groce’s answers to five pressing questions:

As John Groce stood at the podium Wednesday to answer questions for Illinois men’s basketball media day, a new era took shape. The hoarse strains of ex-head coach Bruce Weber’s voice were replaced by Groce explaining his coaching philosophies and how they pertain to this year’s team. More tangible evidence of the Groce era could be found at the Ubben Basketball Complex, where this year’s roster squeezed together for a team photograph. The frontcourt players looked leaner, an observation confirmed by the weight figures on the official roster sheet. And the whole team sported thick

Does Nnanna Egwu possess the skills to fill Meyers Leonord’s shoes? “Nnanna Egwu is the guy that really has gone above and beyond. He’s the type of guy right now where you ask him to do 10 pushups and he does 13. You tell him you want him to become a better student of the game, and he’s up in the office begging for DVDs. ... If you’re an old-school guy and you think that because he’s 6-10, 6-11 he should be on the block for 40 straight minutes, you may not appreciate or like his game as much. That’s not him. Last week, he made 73-of-100 3s. Some people don’t like that. I’m not saying he’s going to play exclusively out there, but we’re going to move him around. That’s what he’s good at, he’s mobile. He’s athletic. He’s 6-foot-11, 237 pounds and running a 5:20 mile.”

How will Groce handle his first season as a Big Ten coach? “I think the most important thing by far, and I’ve said this before, and I’m certainly not perfect, and I’ve had to learn from mistakes like everybody else, but the one thing I think I did do right from the very beginning when I became a head coach is I’m going to be myself.”

orange wristbands. Inscribed upon the wristbands were the letters “T NT” with a date — March 19, 2013 — on the other side. “Stands for toughness ’n togetherness,” junior guard Joseph Bertrand said. And the March date accompanying the slogan? “That’s when the (NCAA) tournament starts,” Bertrand added. “So we’ll be ready.” Achieving a tournament berth appears to be the overarching goal for this team, though the first-year coach is admittedly aware that a path to the NCAA tournament would not come easy. Groce candidly spoke about the team’s most glaring weakness, ballhandling, a trait that seems to start and stop with sophomore point guard Tracy Abrams. Groce also lamented the lack of time he’s had with the team, a product of adhering to strict NCAA rules limiting the amount of practice with the coaching staff in the offseason. The 16 sessions the team conducted, in Groce’s estimation, were not enough to institute the proper hab-

its and techniques on both ends of the floor. In lieu of that familiarity, Groce said he would exercise some patience with the team — a sentiment shared by the coaching staff and applicable to the fan base as well. “You know us coaches, we’re impatient,” Groce said. “My wife reminds me of that all the time. We’ve got a ways to go.” Beyond the deficiencies, the roster contains elements conducive to success. The departure of NBA lottery pick Meyers Leonard leaves a void in the frontcourt, but one that Groce feels can be filled by seniors Tyler Griffey and Sam McLaurin, a transfer from Coastal Carolina, and sophomores Nnanna Egwu, Mike Shaw and Ibby Djimbe. Reports from the coaching staff indicate that conditioning is off the charts, a must in Groce’s system, and the team’s senior class expects to graduate after putting a meaningful stamp on the season. Senior guard D.J. Richardson said that phi-

Can a sophomore class that saw few meaningful minutes last season step up?

Can Tracy Abrams handle the burden of being Groce’s lone primary ballhandler on the roster?

“The biggest challenge we have right now with Myke Henry is getting him to play consistently. He’s shown times during workouts or when we play that he’s wired to score. I think it’s the best thing that he does. He can really score the basketball. Trying to get that same type of commitment on the defensive end is what we’re trying to do, and I think he’ll do it.”

“There’s more to being a lead guard than being 6-foot-1. I’ve always said that in recruiting. Sometimes in recruiting, some guys will say to me ‘Oh, he’s a point guard’ and I’ll say ‘why, because he’s 6-foot tall? That doesn’t make you a point guard.’ There’s more to it than that. Do you understand time and score? Can you make guys better? Do you know who has the hot hand? Can you be the front porch of our defense? Are you vocal in your leadership as well as displaying great body language? Are you an extension of the coach on the floor? There’s a lot. Can you change speeds and gears? Can you defeat pressure? There’s a lot to being a lead guard, and the one thing I really like about Tracy is he wants to be one.”

Can this year’s senior class (Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson, and Tyler Griffey) finally find some consistency? “I’m not going to get into the whole deal with what’s happened in the past. I can’t control that. That’s in the rear-view mirror. But I do know where they’re telling me they want to go and how good they want to be. I think their buy-in has been good. Their effort has been good. Their attitude has been good. Those are things we take great pride in.”

Three keys for basketball success

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1B losophy begins with the “TNT” wristbands. “This wristband, since day one, when (Groce) gave it to me, I wear this every single day,” Richardson said. “This is our goal: 3-19-13.

need for change. “To be honest, I think really it’s our attitudes, it’s our mentality going into each match,” Johnson said when asked to specify what needed to change. “I mean in practice, I really like the things that we’re doing, and we’re looking like a really good team. And then in games, we’re not really showing up with a good attacking mentality.” Given time to reflect on his team’s performance at Michigan, Hambly said Illinois played tight and scared, adding that the team would address it in practice prior to the weekend. He said the Illini would alter a few things but declined to say exactly what they were. “I’d rather not talk about it,” he said before Thursday’s practice. Illinois won’t have much time to institute drastic change before taking on No. 25 Michigan State (15-3, 3-3) on Saturday. The Spartans will provide another challenge with their fast-paced offense, a system

It’s

that time of year when Illini fans detach themselves from the woes of the football program and say, “Oh well, Illinois is a basketball school anyways.” With the best winning percentage in Big Ten basketball history, Illinois should definitely be considered as such, but its play in recent seasons has left much to be desired. The Illini have not had a 20-win regular season since 2008-09 and have not made a trip to the Sweet 16 since 2005. The lack of progress made since Deron Williams and Dee Brown walked the campus has led to a list of changes for the program this season, including the termination of Bruce Weber after a nine-year stint. New head coach John Groce will be faced with a multitude of challenges in his attempt to rebuild a prominent program. Filling the void left by Meyers Leonard’s departure to the NBA will be a major obstacle, as well as teaching his new system, exciting the fan base and developing the roster’s talent. The charismatic head coach has had fans buzzing due to his advancements on the recruiting trail (signing Kendrick Nunn and Jaylon Tate), but “his guys” won’t be here until next fall. Expectations were lowered from recent years, but there is reason to believe Groce can get the ball rolling in the right direction. Here are three keys for the Illini to have success this season.

Paul’s consistent play Unless you are Kentucky, the performance of your veteran players is key to how much success you will have in a given season. This year, the Illini sport four seniors: Brandon Paul, D.J. Richardson, Tyler Griffey and Sam McLaurin. However, there is no question that, when he’s on his game, Paul is by far the best of the bunch. He averaged more than 14 points and four rebounds per game last season, but a lack of consistency and low basketball IQ (more than three turnovers per game) plagued the talented guard. The college career of Illinois’ 2009 Mr. Basketball has been one hell of a rollercoaster, with enough ups and downs to make Illini fans nauseous. Paul has shown how good he can be, exemplified by his 43-point performance

McLaurin’s former school, where the program hadn’t made it to the postseason since 1993 before two NIT appearances the past two years. “We never had anything like this (wristband),” McLaurin said. “Here, you’re expected to make the postseason, and you’re expected to go far.” Such an outcome would make for a tidy start to Groce’s new era at Illinois.

Thomas can be reached at bruch2@ dailyillini.com and @ThomasBruch. Hambly compared to that of the Ohio State team that defeated the Illini earlier this year. Hambly reiterated a belief he has voiced in the past that smaller, quicker teams often give Illinois more problems than bigger, physical ones, calling Michigan State “not a great matchup for us.” The Illini will be battling to get back to .500, but Hambly just wants to see his team return to the high level of play of which he knows it’s capable. “The losses and the wins, I don’t get caught up in that,” he said. “For me, I’m more worried about how we’re playing.” But as the losses continue to pile up, ultimately Illinois’ record will matter. It’s a fact that’s not lost on Johnson, who said a sense of urgency was starting to set in. “I guess that’s reality ... I think to be in the tournament, you have to be above .500,” the senior said. “So we all know it, everyone else knows it. We have to get some wins here.”

Illinois’ Brandon Paul rebounds against Iowa on March 8 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Columnist Derek Piper thinks getting Paul to play consistently will be crucial for head coach John Groce and the Illini’s success. against Ohio State last season. But he’s been equally as bad, shown by his head-shaking outing against Iowa in the final contest of the year; he finished with two points (2-of11 from the field) with seven turnovers. For the Illini to have any hope at an NCAA tournament berth this season, Paul will need to fix his bipolar tendencies and play like a senior. Will the real Brandon Paul please stand up?

Egwu’s development No one on the roster can fill the shoes of Meyers Leonard — literally and figuratively — but sophomore center Nnanna Egwu is talented enough to get the job done. He saw limited action last season because of Leonard’s talent, as Egwu averaged 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in less than 10 minutes per game last season. However, the former four-star center has the ability to improve on those numbers given the opportunity. Groce has been extremely impressed with Egwu’s progress and determination this

offseason. “He’s the type of guy if you tell him to do 10 pushups, he’ll do 13,” Groce said of Egwu. With a year’s experience under his belt and his 6-foot11, 235-pound frame, expect Egwu to make great strides this season. Playing in the Big Ten, one of the toughest and most physical conferences in the country, Egwu’s down-low presence will be key to Illinois’ success.

Achieving above the norm One reason Bruce Weber resides in Kansas now is his teams’ tendency to underachieve based off expectations. This year, expectations are low, which can be expected from a change in coaching and the loss of the team’s best player. However, with new leadership in place, there is hope that the tide will change for a program that is hungry to return to glory. Groce has shown an ability to get the most from his roster, taking Ohio to the Sweet 16 last March, and he will

attempt to do the same with Illinois this year. How can this team all of a sudden outperform expectations? Quickly learning the new system, developing team chemistry and outhustling its opponents are some ways this can happen. Too many times last season, the fans could look up at the scoreboard and see the Illini getting killed in the Matto — the statistic representing effort and hustle plays. Sometimes it comes down to who wants it more. There is enough ability on this roster to have a decent season. Weber is gone because he could no longer turn individual talent into a winning team. Many will say that Groce does not have enough to work with this season. But leave it up to him to turn doubters into believers, as he lays the foundation for a program on the rise.

RINK FROM PAGE 1B for a team whose defense has been suspect at times, the Big Pond’s size only amplifies those weaknesses. “I prefer a smaller rink, as a defenseman,” Evans said. “You can really cut down your angles a lot easier.” Illinois (6-0-1) has to adjust as well when travelling on the road against teams that use the regulation size rink. The forwards can’t use their speed and get to the outside while cramped on a rink that is 30 feet thinner. The game speed is a lot faster on a smaller rink, and creates another set of problems for defenders. In addition, most national tournaments use the regulation ice, so there is an adjustment to make for the ACHA National Tournament at the end of the year. “Things tend to happen a lot quicker out there on a smaller rink,” head coach Nick Fabbrini said. “You have to make quicker decisions and you’re going to be playing in smaller spaces, which we’re not accustomed to.” Both Evans and Fabbrini said that they would prefer to have the smaller rink size at home to eliminate any sort of adjustment period between the norm and playing on the road. There are a few adjustments that are made in the week’s preparation, depending on the host of the weekend’s games. “When we’re playing on the road, we’ll play certain small-area games that emphasize quick decision-making,” Fabbrini said. “We go in with a different mindset,” Evans added. “You can use the boards a lot easier and glass to make more passes.” Another aspect to the Big Pond that many teams don’t feature is the crowds that come out to support the Illini. Near sellout crowds come to watch and make things difficult for the away teams and that home-ice advantage is a privilege that other schools might not have. Combined with the familiarity to its surroundings, it’s rare to see Illinois lose on its home ice. Their success is why the Illini love playing on literally the biggest stage in the ACHA.

Cross-country splits squads for Bradley, Pre-Nationals BY NICHOLAS FORTIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Younger runners will have a chance to build experience as the Illinois women’s cross-country team will split its squad this weekend. Coming off a fifth-place finish at the Notre Dame Invitational two weeks ago, the Illini will look to gain even more momentum at the Bradley Classic in Peoria, Ill., and Louisville’s Pre-National Invitational this weekend. “I think the group will do well,” Illinois head coach Jeremy Rasmussen said of the runners competing at Bradley. “The group that we have going there wants to prove something, and they want to prove that they can go out and run 6K well. It is a young group. ... We want to be one of the top seven teams at Bradley, we want this group to go in and compete with a lot of very good A-groups and succeed.” Illinois will send no seniors to Bradley, as juniors Stephanie Brown, Rachel Irion, Amanda Zamora and Samantha Murphy; sophomore Colette Falsey; and freshmen Michelle Frigo and Natalie Wynn will all compete. In Louisville, senior Courtney Yaeger will lead the more experienced Illini against a deep field. Illinois will run with 12 teams that are in the top 40 overall, including No. 1-ranked Florida State. “We’re up against a very competitive field,” Yaeger said. “We’ll be one of the non-ranked teams there, so the hope is to

beat a few teams out there and get ourselves a few points. If we do as well as we did at Notre Dame, we have a good chance of doing that” Along with Yaeger, the team will send senior Madeline Aufmann, and juniors Katie Porada, Meghan Frigo and Stephanie Morgan. Freshmen Amanda Fox and Alyssa Schneider will also compete. “We have to just work well with each other,” Fox said. “We have to keep pushing each other and continue to focus on passing the next person. We can never get too comfortable in the race, and as long as we do that and leave it all out there, we should succeed.” Yaeger said the Illini have to control their pace. “We have to get ourselves out in a good position at the beginning of the race,” she said. “And we have to be patient because it will be more aggressive, a faster race. If we can move through the field like we did last time at Notre Dame, I think we will have the same kind of success. The key is to move in the field when everyone else just stays in the same place.” Rasmussen said the team will need to run well in the final leg of the race. “We have to finish the race well,” he said. “If we can run the best that we can the last (kilometer) of the course, the last 2K of the course, it will allow us to have success.”

A little rest is just what the doctor ordered for the Illinois soccer team. The Illini will hit the road this weekend after having last weekend off following a 3-2 win over Michigan State in which junior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo recorded her second career hat trick. The break allowed Illinois to regroup and, for some players, recover from minor injuries that are often an issue at mid-season. “It was good,” freshman forward Nicole Breece said of the week off. “We’ve had a lot of injured players, so to have this break and a little bit of time off will help us rest our bodies

Mayer improves over summer, says it’s just the beginning for her

Swimming and diving’s sister act boosts morale Team prepares to open season at annual Orange and Blue meet

Michelle Mayer’s best collegiate performance the result of determination, competitive spirit BY ALEX ORTIZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With 300-yard drives and now a top-10 finish at the Wolverine Tournament under her belt, Michelle Mayer is a young gun with what seems like a world of potential. The sophomore is coming off of her best collegiate performance and is working hard to get even better. This competitive spirit was fostered early on her home street, which produced a handful of Division I golfers, so Mayer is not fazed by top competition. “I love the feeling. I love competing and having expectations and meeting them. I still don’t consider myself a sophomore. ... I still expected myself to perform at a level that everyone else was,” Mayer said. Such expectations might seem daunting to us mere mortals but not to Mayer. In high school, she was a four-time IHSA state qualifier and named the 2010 Chicago Sun-Times Female Athlete of the Year. The Homewood-Flossmoor High School team won the 2010 2A state championship, and Mayer placed fourth in the tournament, which she says was her proudest moment in golf. As a freshman last year, Mayer averaged an 82 in 14 rounds. And at the Big Ten championships, she also recorded her then career-low round of 4-over-par 76.

Over the summer, Mayer saw a short-game instructor to improve her putting stroke. She recognizes it as her weakness, and the team devotes the majority of practice time to it. With that work, Mayer says she has “dramatically” improved her putting strokes. “I think now that I have a lot of experience under my belt, especially going into this year, and being in that position where I can lead the team along with Sam (Postillion) and Ember (Schuldt) and a bunch of the other stronger players on the team, I think that we can do a lot this year,” Mayer said. The first two tournaments were not kind to Mayer as she struggled with her drives and failed to record a top-50 finish. But those were all just afterthoughts at the Wolverine Invitational. She shot 3-over-par 74 in the final round, the best of her career, tying her for sixth place with a 232. “It’s fantastic to see because Michelle is a tremendously talented young lady, and she has phenomenal strength and hits the ball a long way,” head coach Renee Slone said. “The first tournament for her was a little rough, and to see her change in such a short window of time has been tremendous to watch. She’s been able to apply these lessons that she’s learned and the results show it.” Assistant coach Jackie Szymoniak also praised Mayer.

“She was able to stay mentally tough on the first day to finish strong with her afternoon round. She hit a ton of quality shots during the final round and was able to stay patient,” Szymoniak said. “I believe this is just the start of many more terrific things to come for Michelle.” While Mayer continues to work on her game, she also finds time to excel at school. She is majoring in accounting and wants to pursue a certification after graduation, but she still wants to stick with her first passion.

“I would love to continue golf after college. I think that’d be awesome (to) just give it a shot,” Mayer said. All indications suggest that whatever it is that Mayer takes a shot at, she’ll excel. Her determination and competitiveness can be summed up in a few words spoken by Muhammad Ali that she lives by. “I’ma show you how great I am.”

Sisterhood and Secret Fish help build unity for Illinois’ swimming and diving team as the new season approaches. With this year’s freshmen additions, the Illini now have three pairs of sisters — Erica (junior) and Lori Lynn (freshman), Sarah (senior) and Jennifer (freshman) Coady, and Darragh McDermott (senior) with sisters Callan (sophomore) and Sloane (freshman). According to head coach Sue Novitsky, recruiting family can typically tell you what type of character and quality will be added to the team. It can also add a “sense of familiarity” to the team with such a multitude of sister duos or trios. Each of the freshmen sisters were encouraged to decide on Illinois by their older sisters; however, they also agree that hearing their sisters’ good experiences on the team played a crucial role in their decisions. “We always have to take sister pictures and it’s kind of crazy,” Sarah said. “I think it speaks well for our program that everyone’s families keep coming here.” While family on the team helps, there are other manners of team building that bring the swimmers closer. A ritual known as “Secret Fish” is something performed by the swimmers in a manner similar to that of “Secret Santa”.

According to Darragh, before every meet, each swimmer receives some type of “pumpup” gift from their “Secret Fish,” not knowing who it is. Usually, these gifts consist of snacks for the meet or Illini trinkets. For Big Ten meets, bigger gifts are presented, such as a sweatshirt. After this, everyone shares the identity of their “Secret Fish.” “It’s just a nice and encouraging thing that let’s you know your team is behind you,” Darragh said. Novitsky’s philosophy is “you can slap the same suit on someone, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will lay themselves down for somebody. It’s easier to have someone’s back when you know who they are and what their story is.” Tomorrow, the team will host its annual Orange and Blue meet at the ARC pool to prepare for its matchup the following weekend. According to Novitsky, this meet is designed to help get the swimmers back in the competitive mindset and get used to the traditional flow of the meets. She has also begun to work on the lineup for the Northwestern meet and hopes to have some questions answered in this meet about who fits in where on her roster. Last year, Northwestern outswam the Illini by a score of 199-101; however, Novitsky wants the team to enter this year’s meet with the mindset to compete. “It’s just about taking the extra step to compete a little better,” Novitsky said. “And I think we have a great team to be able to do that.”
